The only objective, on every location.
Want to buy it but my backlog is too large. Fucking kill me.
>>559707808Forget the backlog, embrace obsession
>all game trailers show runners murdering runners>there's a straight up faction that tells you to kill your own kind>people still cry it's not in the spirit of the game
>>559707542>>most of the chart is like under 2 seconds>2 second TTK is the top end of the chart, not the middle.>>FIVE SECOND ttk in an extraction shooter>utter lunacyokay your first point doesn't need to be said.second point, yeah noticing you went to 5 seconds to have some sort of gotcha. somehow extraction shooters need a quick ttk and the OP of this chain mentions respawn times and the likehow about we mention how much this game has shit like hero abilities, laser beam guns, aim assist baked into guns as a stat, no bullet drop, no variety of ammo, bullet drop or anything of that sort?i can do this all day nigga. lets hear you bring up apex legends and counter-strike again
>>559707808>Want to buy it but my backlog is too largeEnjoy it while it's fresh. Not ruined with nerfs.It's a very good game. The backlog can wait.
>The flechette grenade heals youHuh? What?
I only picked this one over *** ******* because Vandal and Thief are sexier than literally everything in OG
>>559702259hard to fix any sort of weapon balancing when it's baseline is so fuckin ass to begin with.somehow makin the ttk higher is forbidden while we ignore things like how solo queue goes. balancing fuckin mess.all they have to do is fix shields, honestly. shit's just an extended health pool
>>559708262>>The flechette grenade heals youYou throw nade, nade throws needles towards you, you get a heal.
>missions are cod zombie easter egg tier but has other players shooting at you the whole timeIs there a realiable way to do the fucking traxus missions holy shit
>>559707802so wouldn't by extension mean you should kill yourself too?
>>559707904>not in the "spirit" of the gameYou're a merc for hire that's using disposable "shells" to steal government property. Killing a shell isn't like killing a raider in Arc, there's no "humanity" being killed, you're not struggling against killer robots for the survival of the human race, you're killing government robots and other mercs to get paid. You're a piece of shit in this game.
>>559707904>>559707585I like a quiet exfil as much as the next guy but I don't understand people who EXPECT it. even if I encounter no runners the whole time I don't relax until that timer hits 0:01had an exfil yesterday where we got out nice and quiet, but the spectator cam showed another squad arriving right where we'd been standing just seconds prior, you can't be too careful
>>559708256>1050 games>18% completion
>>559708402Assassin. Use smokes and grenades to kill the commander. Bots can't do anything to you while you are inside your smoke. you can even melee them for free.
>>559708453Doesn't matter what happens to me. Kill(You) is the only objective.
>>559707031shold I stop buying enhanced overrun ar everytime i lose all my weapons?i don't think it does much damage
>>559707951>okay your first point doesn't need to be said.>second point, yeah noticing you went to 5 seconds to have some sort of gotchaWhat the fuck are you on about? Why are you mad at someone addressing the things you say?>somehow extraction shooters need a quick ttkHalf my post was explaining that. What is the point of an extraction shooter where getting the drop on someone doesn't lead to a kill? Where knowing where your opponent is and engaging on them properly isn't a high advantage? The whole reason the genre works is playing off that, and one of the big things that really works with Marathon is that maneuvers like getting a flank on someone is very worth it which makes 3v3 teamfights engaging and fun. Funnily enough this only works because the TTK is higher than in many other shooters and the game hits a nice middleground.>how about we mention how much this game has shit like hero abilitiesI literally mentioned that. Notice how a majority of abilities in this game are all based off information? Cloaks, trackers, spotting drones, etc. Even most of the in-combat ones mostly aren't too direct; vandal has a blast that moves people around, destroyer gets a shield, triage gets a slow acting heal drone. It's HIGH TTK that pushes a game further towards overwatch style hero shooter shit.
>>559708639don't give him (You), anon, or we'll have to watch his shitty consoletard gameplay until the game finally dies (two more threads)
Despite how people wanna try and cope about the 500k refund number not being real, steamdb tracks refunds they're just not open to the public because they're not entirely accurate.They track them by looking at libraries of players and if the player at one point had the game in their library but no longer does, obviously this can't account for private profiles or if someone privated a specific game from public view, but the numbers do exist mason
>don't shoot im just trying to my missi-
>>559708771I always forget that smokes in games where survival matters more than killing are actually really goated. Usually I forget about them entirely because I find them in games where you just respawn 5 seconds after you die so who cares.>>559709014Well ok but MY mission is to kill you so....
>>559709014me when i see a rook saying hes friendly
>>559708526There's lore implications that Arachne's obsession with the Thermodynamics of Violence is similar to the Paracasual Forces in Destiny
>>559708897It's dogshit, yes. Maybe for a cheap slotfiller instead of a pistol, but never actually take it as your primary weapon. Buy something else or do a kit/rook run to find literally any weapon that isn't sold by CyAc.
Solo is a pretty miserable experience but how can playing with randos possibly be any better? Most people don't even have a mic.
>>559709184
Getting tired of 3 assassin teams
>>559709239If you do shitter contracts, it's a good way of getting xp
>>559709014i was naive my first few rounds. my group saw a group and a treated it like arc raiders and was like yo we dont have to do this we can all extract and keep our loot. they didnt shoot and i thought everything was gucci and we started extract. they wiped our group in the final 10 seconds. they didnt even get a chance to loot our gear.never again
>outpost run>gang of 3 rooks show up to our restricted exfil>invite them into our circle as im putting in the access key>all of us standing together talking>one of the rooks is being really weird though trying to move behind us>the second the countdown starts everyone huddles together>gut feeling tells me to double jump since im playing vandal>jump>manage to dodge a knife swipe from the rook behind me>oh this fucker wants to take my shit at the last second>do a quick vandal blast that knocks all the rooks out of the exfil circle>we extract while all the rooks are yelling slurs at us and telling us to dieNEVER relax around rooks
>>559709239group (mic'd) >>>>>>> solo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> group (no mic)
>>559708897If you keep buying it and keep losing then I don't think it's a good gun
>>559709527>>we extract while all the rooks are yelling slurs at us and telling us to dieNo video, didn't happen. Vandal is a useless cumpdumpster
>>559709362true. first runner I came across, I tried to be friendly. the next guy shot me down. Never again.
>>559709527then everyone clapped.
>>559709172Rooks being friendly with other rooks should be acceptable. A couple of times I've had the tarkov wiggle with one when we saw each other at midrange.The ones that try to be friendly to a squad can fuck right off.
>>559708912>What the fuck are you on about? Why are you mad at someone addressing the things you say?because you ignored the 4. is 4 not too much for you? why not address 4 seconds then? you went right to 5 seconds. since the game is already 2 seconds and under, why not address the option 1 second lower than the ones i listedlow ttk doesn't really reward any sort of tactical play because people die too fuckin fast just tryin to move alone. you get heavily punished for it. the games pace doesn't match anything going on at all.i want to see how you think a low ttk engagement goes in picture above. straight up guns only, no nades, abilities or anything.
>>559708897The overrun is fucking garbage and no purple mods can fix that. Better off running rook or a sponsored kit and looting a better one.
>playing Rook>run into another Rook and we both fire opening salvos like it's a gangland ambush>both of our shields break and we run away from each other>he doesn't chase, never see him again for the whole matchSpooky
Another day, another run.
Bungie has essentially made a discouraging friendship simulator
>>559710084why do they list individual destiny expansions as games
>>559710043>Do you have any idea how badly my head is grafted onto this CG model, son?
>>559707904>charterMore like sharter. If Arachne like death and killing so much, they should kill themselves to set an example and a standard.
>>559710241They did already. They're basically edgy Osiris
>>559710043If you're good its about 2k. not too big of loss. still much to gain.
>>559708402It’s a pretty apt way of putting it. The event on outpost and I assume on the marathon will be even more so like that. The anon in the last thread is correct, there’s no reason to actually take initiative and do the work for the events yourself unless you’re an actual cuckold
We need more Arachne missions NOW I need to hear the dulcet tones of Charter as he issues me my next Fatwa.
>>559710084Marathon is the last game I'd play with friends, you actively lose progress if the others suck shit, so you both have to be sweaty to actually have fun. The cinematic shows the dynamic perfectly, the first losses are tolerable but then as it keeps going everyone breaks apart.
Rook is so fucking fun dude
>>559710241
This is for the Anons on /mg/ who are interested in doing what little story there is in the game and what specific codexes, in general give the most interesting story beats. I am not in any form good at PvP games but god damn it this is the first Marathon game in decades and I refuse to give-up because I can't shootNuCalorics Priority Contracts is the closes you'll get to a more Detective approach trying to figure out what happened with the colonists and overall, large, overarching beats into the collapse of the colonists specifically. All the food stuffs codex items shows all the corners they cut in the 30/50yrs the colony was active with humans and how everyone started to go insane. This is also one of the catalyst that Joy, the Colonists AI, went rampit as well and you can find more of that on Outpost (most - not all food stuffs drop from a lot of the structures on Perimeter and to a lesser extent Dire Marsh (Dire Marsh does have food codex items but they're more so core ingredients to the produced foods you'll find on Perimeter))On the other side/perspective, MIDA's story revolves around the UESC and all the war crimes they've done and continue to do for "the greater good" you can find a large amount of codex entries throughout the first two maps and they then taper off on Outpost. Their beef originates from Mars and you can find how fucked everything happened from children history books you come across on Dire Marsh and some other items, historical or magazines the colonists made.Most of the other factions don't really have anything interesting, the worse of them are Archne which feels like a half-baked idea because there aren't any cosmetics tied to them outside the Destroyer Shell cosmetic you have to literally buy with LUX. It's nothing outright and I don't have the codex enteries personally but apparently there are strong hints that the Destroyer faction with the edgy armor you buy from LUX - the creator of Archne was one of them.
Okay, now this is complete fucking horseshit. The shipping manifest pointed be to the fucking gas chambers and the container wasn't even there.
I would find the ai enemies a bit more interesting if they were colored to match their rank in the army.
where can i read the lore, has it all been made into a wiki. not playing this garbage
>>559710972Samuel Bucher. That's a Loot activity marker, not a quest marker.
>>559711098Oh.
>>559710871The schizo terminals on the nature of destiny and such in Infinity seem to be a link to Arachne. If their whole schtik is about studying metaphysics via murder, it does give them an interesting sort of contrast to SekGen
>down an assassin that won't let me exfil>just down him and let him self revive since exfil is almost done>figure he would understand i let him live>still kills me after reviving>gets killed by UESC assault immediatelyYOU STUPID FUCK
>>559709768>because you ignored the 4. is 4 not too much for you? why not address 4 seconds then? you went right to 5 seconds. since the game is already 2 seconds and under, why not address the option 1 second lower than the ones i listedIf you wanted 4, why would you say 5?Both are farcically retarded so who cares.>low ttk doesn't really reward any sort of tactical playIt inherently does because small advantages in who shoots first translates to victory more reliably. There's a reason tactical shooters always have low TTKs, and usually 1-shot kills with headshots. High TTK dilutes the impact of tactics because the initial engagement becomes less important.This isn't some niche argument or second order effect, your entire argument comes from you dying too quick to react when you are shot. Tactics are how you get to shoot the enemy instead of the other way around.>because people die too fuckin fast just tryin to move alone. you get heavily punished for itJust wrong, play the game. Doubly so with slide being pretty good at dodging shots you're running transverse to.Literally just running in the open will get you killed but there is a lot of room to flank (especially when you AREN'T being watched, you idiot) and it happens in most 3v3s.
>>559710972yeah the container is near where you killed the general npc guy
>>559710972The container is stacked right next to the UESC you had to kill in the previous step, they're guarding it.
>>559710972Somehow its always the assassing players.
>>559711179>he relaxed
>>559711084https://marathon.bungie.org/story/
>>559711143Yeah. Usually quest item areas aren't explicitly marked until you get close to them. Beyond that once you've done the quest type once, the game kind of expects you to remember things like DCON buildings (A container where you beam things off the surface in specific missions) and UESC Commander summons/alerts.
I saw a post on xitter saying that Charter isn't an AI but a Runner who fragged Traxus C-Suite, is that true?
>>559710871What is the basis for the UESC being like this? Because I’m pretty sure it’s just the writers projecting modern politics and MIDA is a pure antifa tranny fantasy
>>559711179Smartest Arachne/Assassin player.
>>559711179>"But now we shall both surely die", said the Runner>"lol" said the Assassin, "lmao"
>>559711313Why even make games, just open a publishing company if they keep having to type out the lore for us lol
Fuck i refunded this game the same day of release but i regret it. I want to jump back in.
>>559711480This is directly stated in the game after the first Arachne contract
>>559711591You either get the Sweaty mystery niggas or something like pic related 90% of the time. I've seen maybe a grand total of 4-5 Assassins that actually play really well. The rest just coast along with the strengths of the kit and even then manage to botch a lot of things.
>>559708912You say this like marathon doesn’t have a stupidly fuck ton of aim assist and no bullet drop. That’s the crucial component you and all the other retards keep missing as to why some people might not be crazy with what the TTK is. Who needs all this big brain talk when we have arena shooter like action with training wheels auto aim? Stop pretending like you can have Marathon in the same conversation as something when tactics make more of the difference
>>559711840its literally just assassins with shotguns or knifing
>>559711221>>559711261>>559711396I was looking for it there, it was highlighted the first time, but there was nothing this time around, so I looked for the next best thing.
>>559710871Traxus I can't complete, them and Sekiguchi because Traxus Priority Contracts tend to position you and or your team in the middle of the maps and whatever you do is so fucking loud that it attracts other Runners to your position. Codex wise it shows Traxus is doing deals under the table with MIDA because both Traxus and MIDA are pissed off at UESC, one more good than the other, Traxus who just wants to recoupe losses/fuck over UESCSekiguchi is interesting. I'm stuck on the second Priority Contract but they're like Archne but more Lawful Neutral in their approach. A lot of the contracts ask you to retaliate against other Runners that shoot at you first; though in practice you can initiate contact and it will still count -- its suggested that Noona wants to fuse your shells with all the fucked up shit on Tau Ceti to see if she can improve Runner Shells even more (this my imply the system they're adding in a later Season down the line)Outpost has the most important lore imo until we get to Marathon and Cryo which is obvious but it's more than that, a lot of the story related condex entries are fully voiced and most of the voiced codex entries only come from containers inside the Pinwheel and or have the highest drop rate. The biggest one going around the lore circles in Marathon are the ones of Joy going rampit but there's more than just that. There's no direct evidence but the most latest ARGs and now Cryo website suggest that some of the voices you hear when there's more than one human in the audio codex entries aren't humans but AI pretending to be humans. The biggest evidence of this are the same codex entries for Joy where there are people asking humans to give them answers and while they're talking, these "people" have a robotic tilt when they're talking (not refering to when a audio codex entry begins or ends, that might be part of another ARG and that may not be a indicator of this)
>>559711595That site is just a repository of the terminals from Marathon 1/2/infinity and has been up since the 90's.
>>559711651wait until cryo archive.
>>559711161It absolutely does.Archne and Sekiguchi, both, have tons of Asian thematics and they more like Yin and Yang if they were corperations
>>559711651buy it back with the money bungie pays you to make posts like these
im so cool
>>559711975What's that?>>559712105I wish i got paid. I'd be a huge sellout.
>>559712246It's the fourth map they claim will fix their declining numbers and shitty launch.
>need gunmetal for vault space>goto station>demolish a stacked blue shield guy with my free arachne doodoo sponsor kit>move 10 meters there is someone behind me, circle around and wound with some difficulty>he gets clipped by what I assumed was the scout drone>goto loot him no actually it was another player currenty running towards me>somehow clip him>start heal/looting>vandal bomba kills me from the backwhat the FUCK is going on at perimeter station, this is more pvp than I had doing 5 or so outpost runs
>>559711879Genuinely the tactical side of it is why I'm okay with the auto-aim far more than I normally am. The inability to just outshoot someone means getting a good engagement is really the whole game. It solves the problem of just getting domed in something like Tarkov, such that every death really is your fault.>bullet dropComplete meme mechanic in any of this game's engagement ranges. If your problem is just getting 1 tap sniped I can agree, but I think the problem there is that the sniper can then just execute you instead of you being able to crawl away and get revived / self revive.
Is there a way of knowing which region a player comes from when I match with randoms? Ideally i want to start throwing if my teammate is from a country I don't like.
>>559712290How in the hell would a map fix this? Is it going to be PvE only? That's the only way.
>>559711717I must have genuinely missed it or accidentally clicked and skipped some dialogue.
>>559712290>Only way to get to the fourth map is with a golden ticket you have to exfil with>I've yet to see a single one of these tickets personally and I'm Level 50
why is this game using so much of my fucking cpu
>>559712378the game has precision rifles anon. not only bullet drop being a thing, but theres no damage drop off or velocity. theres no leading shots its all laserbeams dude.
Playing with randoms is the worst fucking gaming experience I've ever had. Helldivers 2 and DRG spoiled me in this regard.
Why did they haul an entire moon to Tau Ceti?
>>559712581if people aren't talking then its pretty much like ALRIGHT TIME TO FUCK ARUOND LOOT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST
>>559712541idk what game you're playing where precision rifles are the big problem killer but it's not Marathon
>>559712640They didn't, the moon is the ship.The colonists lived in and on the moon to have Earth-like gravity so they didnt go insane outside the cryo sleeps
I've been buying CyAc meds at 415 creds a pop.But NuCal sells 3x for 1200 creds.
>>559712779you need to think of the big picture here instead of crafting theoretical scenarios to prove some point here. its very tiring.also it was a hologram
>>559712810They have cryosleep tech, Shell tech, digital mind tech and all other sci-fi bullshit but they don't have a technology to simulate gravity?Nice lore maratroons.
Solo fucking BANGS. I killed 3 people who were dumb enough to run on a loud catwalk
>>559713032>I killed 3 people who were dumb enough to run on a loud catwalkBa-bbbaa=BA-ba-BBBAAASSSEED.
This morning I swear I could buy hardened shields (-50% damage taken) in the armory but now I only see the +1 slot ones...
>Randomly pick up some quest>"Get the data!">Ok>Walking around the building like a headless chicken because there's no marker>Finally find it>"Take it to THE TERMINAL.">OK>Can't find shit>Nothing's marked>Give up an extract at the final extractBeing retarded will make me god
Am I the only one finding it vastly more fun to go in with nothing but basic sponsor kits/greens only and seeing what I can come out with? I’m having more fun playing this like a fucking battle royale. I’m selling every bit of blue/purple gear and just funding my sponsor box addiction.I enjoy the challenge of going in with nothing and coming out with everything. I fail more often than not, but when I kill a blue shielder with that basic lmg, it tastes so fucking sweet. It proves unequivocally that I am better.
>>559712640Cheaper to make a ship out of a moon than make it from scratch. Even cheaper when it was being used to ship stuff between earth and mars already.The real question is why the remake changed the design to just be sitting in the middle of a moon but entirely artificial anyway.
>>559712383>PvE onlyI sure as hell hope not
>>559713032Most my kills are people sprinting through compounds
Well, i do.
>>559713235yes. Just like in arc the solo kit clears. I just sell all the shit I find then run another one
>>559712383LMAO
>>559712986Digitizing an organic electrical system vs bending the laws of physics. I wonder which is easier...
>>559712986>Shell tech, digital mind tech and all other sci-fi bullshitThey didn't circa the original marathon. No FTL either. Humanity's tech has progressed massively since the Marathon era and most of what we're looting isn't the original colony it's some second colony.Yes, this leaves a giant question mark into how this game is tied into anything at all.
For years I've called rat, scum, and shitter, for camping focused on footsteps. Ambushing in Warzone and getting low-kill wins(like 3 kills).Same with Arcraider.But now, with the best modern FPS game, I was proven right. My technique is the best in the world. I am very happy that the "don't camp" crowd is getting ASSRAPED, after paying money for it.
>>559708774No, it means (YOU) would be killing yourself anytime you spawn. (You) think therefore (You) must kill yourself at the start.
>>559713235>>559713350>no gear fear>proves that you’re objectively better>nonstop pvp with free kits, get skilled fasterIt’s legitimately the most fun you can have. That and playing Rook
>>559713509>For years I've called rat, scumI've been called. You niglets get the point, yeah
>>559712903I'm not, I'm talking about how the game actually plays, which is like 90% two teams shuffling around trying to get the drop on the other guys. You can't really kill people at range outside of snipers because it's too easy for them to drop into cover and heal.
how many bots are snoy paying for to bump the numbers up. i need to start looking into this im noticing something strange with the player count the way it moves. i already guessed they were botting players, but now i think we are starting to see the evidence here right before our eyes. im pretty sure they have been doing it since launch so the 88k peak is a lie.
>>559712408I don’t blame you, ONI quickly mentions it while your probably trying to sort your vault or upgrade some shit right after a contract
>>559713670Yeah and thats your fault for shooting them while they were near cover and punishing their positioningcan go all day with this shit dude. *teleports behind you*
>>559713730Meds
>>559713730They bought 50k bots on launch
>>559713730Word of mouth takes time. The game is actually really good if you aren't an autistic mouth-breathing asmongroid tier 3 sub.
>>559712986Marathon took 400+years to reach Tau Ceti Anon and then Durandal took 12 years after the 400 to go to Earth and send them a warning. By then Earth skyrocketed in tech.
>>559713576>(You) think therefore (You) must kill yourself at the start."I" don't matter, the objective matters. As long as there are runners who wish to accomplish something, "I" must intercept and ruin it.
>>559713730Those peaks and valleys look pretty good to me, I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.
>>559713851This. The average FPS gamer is already interested in this game. Is just a loud vocal minority who are against it and want to see it fail (it won't).
>>559713509>gets pinged by ReconAdios.
Bros........... the games on its last legs................
>>559713730twitch children are so used to botting they see it everywhereno you cant bot steam player counts, even if you are a corporation
>>559713730anywhere from 10000 to 20000 i'd say.
>>559713851>Word of mouth takes time.No it doesn't. It takes a couple days to see some bumping. We see this all the time.
>>559712383No. PvE should be a mode, and so should the PvP. Use PvE as training wheels, and then PvP for glorious combat.
>>559714037>>gets pinged by ReconIf Recon's ping can reach you, you can see where the ping is coming from.
what's a dcon
>>559714115r u retarded, just pretending, or getting paid to peddle these untruths.either way lol.
>>559713730Literally every game has peaks and valleys like that. The minor valley in the middle is the gap between EU peak and US peak.
>>559714194>No. PvE should be a modeNo, suck a dick discord tгaпny. Keep PvE fags in my lobbies, so I can kill them.
>>559714115>no you cant bot steam player counts
>>559711651I refunded it because the UI hurt my eyes but I gave it another go the next day because I genuinely liked the gameplay and figured i could juat power through it and now I have 10 hours played. I cant imagine how many people got filtered by the UI. Pretty big Bungie L desu.
>>559714220In four corners of the map (Perimeter), there are buildings with a shitbox on top of them. Catwalk is guarded by claymore mines - one to each side. You need to take item(s) and deposit stuff into that shitbox for it to teleport it to fuck-knows-where.
>>559714154Bumps within a couple of days aren't word of mouth they're dilution from streamerbait games.'thon is a gamer's game, not a streamer's game, sorry chuddie
>finally got to use a circuit breaker when I picked one up off a dead runner’s body>gun kicks ass>have a schema for it but it costs 15 thousand fucking credits to buyI can’t tell if my credit farming is just super inefficient or if the economy is just fucked. At most im making 1k credit profit after having to top up on ammo and meds.
I did jack shit, but at least I had fun.
>>559714220>>559714427still mad this isn't like an actual safe pocket mechanic
>>559714338>i dont want to be alone>please dont leave me>my self-worth is tied to how many noobs i stomp>i dont want an actual challengeThats you.
>>559714220Its those boxes that send things back into orbit. They are on your map once you have one in your contract.
>>559714220Boxes on the roof in the corners of maps. They should show up when you have the things, but just google a map of them.You put shit in there and it teleports out for quest completion. You can put anything in there technically, but you will get nothing for non-quest-required items.
>>559714304>>559714359explain how it can be botted then, geniuses
this game is raping my cpu like no other wtf?
They are sending survey questionaires now. Check mail box in the game.
>>559714572>>i dont want an actual challengeI refuse to "compete" for free.Will PvP mode have super Elite skin rewards? Or is Bungie gonna pay me to sweat?I will not be sweating for free. I will reverse boost and keep stomping noobs. Just like I did on Arc Raiders.
>>559714359>>559714304so how do you bot a $40 game, on twitch its simple since they count embedded streams as a view but that doesn't really work on steam
>>559713730People who have no business looking at graphs and metrics should really keep their mouths shut.
>>559714716Scrub mindset.
>no you see Sony is purchasing it's own game through various bot farms and paying them to open the game and idle and then quit the game and these very specific cadences in order to trick people into making the game look like it's not dead
>>559714928Correct.
>>559714550this is the only extraction shooter without a safe pocket for some fuck all reason.
>Skill Based or Agression Based matchmaking>PvP turns into a tournament with sweats onlyI will reverse boost and stomp noobs.I will not "compete" for free. I refuse to try hard for free.
>>559714634>>559714728you guys know that you can ask ai anything..... im pretty sure im just responding to paid sony ai's playing dumb. i asked one of your brothers..... holy fuck. eat shit you non human scum, they need to fix the captcha so you cant post.
>>559714716You total scrub...
>>559714968I think you are genuinely retarded if Steam is incapable of spotting stuff like that in its own backend
Thanks for the sniper rifle faggot
>>559714995>tournamentOH YEA WE HAVE A TOURNAMENT IN A WEEK>Tau Ceti Cup is Bungie's upcoming event scheduled for March 14, 2026, where creator teams will compete against each other to prove they are the best Runners.
When will the tourists leave and let us post about dumb marathon shit in peace?
>>559715092when i stop being butthurt about trying out this shit piece of game i ended up hating
>>559715070>Steam takes money to turn a blind eyewow shocker
>>559715008>cyberpsychosisThat explains
>>559715070*if you think Steam is incapable>>559715210So Steam is being bribed to let Sony bot a game that isn't breaking it's own ATH day over day?
What's a good inventory value to extract with? In arc a good run is over 100k, but everything in this game is way lower value
>decide to give game another try since refund got rejected>play rook>immediately killed even though i had nothing but the gear you explicitly can’t leave withYeah, this game is shit. There’s no counterplay to 1v3, the class meant for getting gear for your next run is instantly killed on sight and you never actually get anything.This game is going to fail because everyone is a braindead pvptard
>>559715235>t. bot
>>559715292
>>559715092>Mikubot drinking a double cheeseburger by herselfShe is going to get fat.

>>559714220DCON's are small buildings around the edges of maps that beam things to orbit for certain quests.
>>559715362You still haven't provided any proof other than the playercount graph that looks like every other graph with a semi-stable population.
Every day, multiple times a day, I eliminated myself in Arc Raiders, doing no damage. And got back into PvE lobbies. And killed, ambushed, ratted.I can do this forever.>What if ban or penalty(time out)I can buy the game again, on more systems, and more different accounts. I have money.
>>559715330>I suck at the game and got skill issued and rather than learn and improve i'm gonna come to 4chan to cry about it because i weigh 300lbs and my mom has to wipe my ass sometimes
>>559715307Depends on what you need. If you need components? As many as you can cram. If its money? Green, blue, purple valuables. Just prioritise whatever you need.
>>559714928>>559715008could you think of a reason why any game studio wouldnt buy their own game, digital licenses are infinite
>>559715092when bungie goes bankrupt and snoy suffers huge loses, hopefully leading to bankruptcy.
>>559715008The only evidence of botting is this game holding a top seller for multiple days but performing like shit with zero growth.
>>559715520Never ever
>>559715501I mean like the average number bro. What number constitutes a good run?
>>559715502If that were true why didn't Tencent deploy its CCP backed bot farms to prop up Highguard? Why didn't they do it for Concord? Why does every game that flops not just inflate their playercounts to trick prospective buyers?
Jeanne if youre here and the general really...Ill give the game ANOTHER shot.
>>559715092>When will the tourists leaveI come from Arc raiders and I'm here forever. Camping only.
>>559715483I cannot stand third-person combat, especially when it's over-the-shoulder. That is why i prefer Mar over Arc.
>>559715330Found the carebear.
Bungie is a fascinating thing, and in my ignorant youth, I may have seen it as aspirational. Like Escharum. I see this force for what it truly is. GAAS is a trick of Bungie. An illusion! Nothing is forever. But these Marasissies entertain me. I will use their ignorance. Shower them with lavish rape, with DOOM. I will watch them dance into the grave of EOS for my amusement.
>>559715008I'm on console but surely there's a website to see users playing Marathon, looking at said users accounts on Steam and seeing if they're real people by how long they've played and or other games they've invested time in.
>>559715487Nice projection, dumbfuck. I hope you enjoy the month you have with this game until more people catch on that it’s a waste of time. I give you guys until Crimson Desert comes out.
>>559707904I thought there would be NPC enemy raiders or a separate game mode.
>>559715624Anything from 1k. Anything that gets you more than what you came in with.
How much ammo are you guys bringing in? How much do you have on you at all time?>>559715730You tried to 1v3 as a rook with the default kit and you're calling me the dumbfuck.
>>559715706Nice insult from 2005 wow, inbred pvpchimp. At least carebears have a game that won’t eos. Bungie wishes it could do the same numbers as Arc.
>>559713920There's no "I" shitbird, it's (You). (YOU) are still an entity in this equation if (YOU) don't say it matters. (YOU) WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO DIE TO THE OBJECTIVE YOU'VE SET FOURTH FUCK NUT. Not the "others"
>>559715827I usually buy two boxes from MIDA and that's usually enough if I'm not fighting UESC bosses
>>559715681>third-person combatIt's a shitshow
>>559715681I saw a video today of some guy 1v3ing and it was actually pretty cool. Third person isn't that bad.
>>559708607There's 0 reason not to have a game mode for casuals. Like it wouldn't impact PVP at all. No idea why people are against it.
>load into map>CTD without error or anything>can reconnect... fixitfixitfixit
How does schemas work??
>>5597158272 stack of ammo per type of gun im bringing/carrying, i like having plenty just in case.
>>559715681Word up brother
killing the boss can be worth it guys>>559705405who hurt you?
>>559714359There have been zero even vaguely confirmed cases of it
How long before it goes free to play?
>>559715827No, I tried to run away, but the green shield is so shit it doesn’t even protect you long enough to escape at full sprint. I tried to play the scavenger class as a cowardly scavenger, and the game fails at that aspect too.
>>559715926I just came to lurk, but the problem will be that pve will obviously become more popular and push the sweats out as the main market. Look at Arc Raiders.
>>559715926>it wouldn't impact PVP at all30% of pvp players get into a rage when pve modes are added because they are there to kill the pve players and the shit ones who might be tempted to play pve.
>>559715728look through all the steam reviews. tons of 0.5 hrs to 1 hrs review. all bot accounts. steam is the only way to play it on pc. its being botted by the developers.>O NO THE COMPANY THAT PAID STREAMERS TO PLAY IT, PAID FOR TONS OF ADS IS NOW PAYING FOR REVIEWS????? NO WAY IT CANT BE POSSIBLE!!!! NO WAY THEY WOULD EVER DO THAT, NO WAY THEY WOULD FAKE THERE NUMBERS>btw guys dont review our game until next month ok thank you......
>>559715892>(YOU) WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO DIE TO THE OBJECTIVE YOU'VE SET FOURTH FUCK NUT.I did not set any objective. The forces of nature did. Universe itself. "I" am not an entity. The shell carries a force of nature, not a person.
There's like 5 or so chud Neanderthals lurking in this general that are completely pissed off we are enjoying the game and think its fun
>>559715827I bring knife.
>>559715629genuinely who the fuck am I arguing with, yes its true a virtual product can be copies an infinite amount of timeswhy didnt they salvage their concord likes? because they either cant or its a bad move, FIGURE IT OUT, nobody wants to bot big games
>>559716029Give it a month
>>559714550>no actual safe pocket>can early extract somethingYeah I really don't get it, it would make so much sense. Hell even if it was salvage only.
>>559715984Apparently you get ine-time use Grey guns on the far-right bar in the Armory but once you buy them and lose them you can't buy a new one.I don't even bother because I'll just lose it being how bad I am at the game
>>559716129Meds
>>559716143Awesome, see you guys in a month in the game ;)
>>559707904This is one of those times where you’re supposed to separate gameplay from story, because pvp is retarded and should stay in pvp only games like BRs and fps slop like cod and battlefield.
>>559716158>>no actual safe pocketGood. Dying hurts shitters even more.
>>559716034Again, the issue is you suck. It's not the game, it's you. Have better awareness and avoid threats, Hide. Listen for footsteps.
>>559716058Only 1326 reviews with a playtime in that range are on the steam store, which is ~8.4% of the total steam reviews for the game. If that's supposed to be Sony botting the game that is truly pathetic on their end.
>>559716254>Have better awarenessBased based. Fuck them shitters and 9 to 5ers
Why is this game so much more fun than arc raiders?
>>559716036>>559716045>WOOOOOOOOW DOOD HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT SWEATY RETARDS ARE THE MINORITY OF PLAYERS?>ACK ACK ACK, CAHHHHMMMM ONNNNN MAN I’M GETTING SHUT DOWN FOR POOR SALES? I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING! WHAT A JOKE DOOOD
>>559711506First Anon, take your medicine and Secondly the UESC have been like this since their inception. Bungee have been huge Democrats since the 90s and Bill Clinton helped save humanity in Pathways Into Darkness. Lastly, take your meds
>>559716115>There's like 5 or so chud Neanderthals lurking in this general that are completely pissed off we are shitting the game and think it sucks
>>559716316Fucked up on the math it's actually 11.8% which is still really bad. I also removed the language filter which bumps it up to 1881 or 16.7% of total reviews. If I was Sony I'd want that to be at least 30% I think.
>>559716378>These are the people you're arguing with
>>559711506Latinx post
I kinda forgot what a retard grenader is, was hoping he'd die out for good with Trials dwindling.
>>559716412>look mom i flipped the post and made it inaccurateYou're in the general for the game you allegedly hate. You have nothing going on in your life for you to be spending your time here on a sunday.
>>559716254>>559716372>have better awareness>from the people that shoot you from behind as you’re sprinting away with a head start because you did in fact, hear their footstepsTurn Rook into an invincible thief drone that can’t be killed and can’t do damage and exists only to scavenge.
>>559716494>arguing on 4chan
>>559715984You get to buy item. Should be on the right in the store, scroll down from where the daily kit is.
>>559716029>>559716143honestly I wouldnt even be madwe need more peoplepreferably people who are worse than me
>>559716034>>559716640Be a rat, not a barking dog with no bite.
>>559716640>make the game easier for meLike i said, the issue is you suck at it
>>559716494What? Bungie could be ran by DSP for all the retarded decisions they make.>sub 100k>streamers would rather play apex as soon as they’re not being paid offYup, you’re definitely winning sis.
>>559716029Probably a year. Maybe a 10-20% off during the steam summer sales.
>>559716724q times are faster than tarkov, I dont care for more players
>>559716494>vibe shift>200k incoming>i dont want those players anyways>yes 40k ccu is a good thing
>>559716915Weird looks like it's been over 60ccu for the past several days which is very healthy for a game like this?
>>559716745You’re mentally challenged. What part of my story did I attempt to fight the 3 man? Because I didn’t. At all, I was running away from them.>>559716772Yeah, and without shitters like me, your game dies and devolves into a sweatfest that no one wants to play.
>>559716915It looks like it might peak 80k today.
>the doomposters keep ignoring actual statistics for "feels" based doomingCurious.
I am not amazing at FPS. Will I enjoy this game solo? Or will I just be ass raped every run?
>>559716006>killing the bossHeh, about that...
>>559717040If you call you dying to 3 people a sweatfest, you might need to go play Roblox or some game for mentally challenged children
>>559715330We fucking warned you.
i dont get it, the popular guys are having a blast, whats with all the hate?
>>559717172Total rape. It's a pvp game, basically a royale.
When are we going to play together?
>>559717172Don't buy it this is for hardcore gamers only
>>559717172>Will I enjoy this game solo?Games not designed for you to play solo. PvE enemys and their group size is designed for 3 man squads. You will get ass raped.
Is there any point in going through pinwheel from the other two entrances? Destroyed wing seems so much better, there's no entrance requirements. Obviously that makes it more contested, but for some reason nobody seems to be doing it despite the fact that you had to get into pinwheel for the sekgen quest. Gathering access keys seems annoying even if you know all of the locations they spawn in or whatever, and I don't really understand what requires which tier card. In any case, the normal pinwheel loot is good, but there's no golds. Do room keys not drop on Outpost? I haven't seen any, do you need to farm room keys on the other two maps?
>>559715008I think redditors are idle session farming. It's suspicious that the player count randomly tanks to 30-36k at night.
>>559717306>>559717302>>559717293I figured. I am generally not online when my friends are online anymore and i've heard them complaining about fill squads being retarded. Guess i'll wait a bit
>>559716915You can go to the last pre-launch thread and literally every single prediction is six digitsThe amount of cope on display in this thread is unfathomable
>>559717172No. You’ll be a walking container for others to loot. Just avoid this game. Save your $40.
>>559717269>popular guysgo back to high school?
>>559717185This might need to be nerfed if it becomes widespread. People will just loot the boss, smoke the area and grab the items then leave. People are gonna be fighting bosses that have no items
>>559717172There's a shitload of aim assist if you just mean you can't aim.Solo is quite brutal though and you will get probably get analized unless/until you develop a sense how how to not be where other people are going to be and/or how to get the drop on them first.
>>559717430when you actually grow older you realize a lot in life never moves past highschool.
>>559717172neither am I and im still having fun.
Desu senpai I really don't like losing my kits in trios because my teammates don't have any game sense, is a pre-made necessary for this?
>>559717172Solo is fine. Mobbing isn't hard if you take the proper loadout for it, I've done full pinwheel which is a fairly extensive PvE encounter while solo. It's a different kind of game compared to trios, but pretty fun.
>>559716616Bungie is done for, and the False Marathon will save it. I might as well just take a bucket of popcorn and watch Sony's CEO execute Bungie's incompetent management live.
>>559717205Oh, Roblox! The platform that makes money that Sony and Bungie could only dream of? Gee, guess they should’ve made their game more friendly to retards then.
>>559717036>Weird looks like it's been over 60ccu for the past several days which is very healthy for a game like this?You guys were saying it was going to boom on launch weekend. It still hasnt passed its launch day peak despite all the shilling. Do you think it will magically retain 90% of its players in four weeks? It should be gaining players not slowly bleeding players two days out from launch.
>>559717387>it's suspicious that less people are playing the game at nightIs this some sort of false-flag or something? Nobody is this retarded
>>559717506no I think you are suffering from "peaked in highschool" syndrome, where you can never move on
>>559713225If you go into the map and find your contract, hover over the objective and it will give you more details (like x is in the NW building second floor)
>go to marathon terminal in station>points to the data wall>go to the data wall and firn another terminal>spouts a bunch of schizobabble while showing a low res .gif of one of the areas in cryo-archiveDid I miss something or is that it?
>>559714634Anon gave a retarded answer, but the how is simple and most likely on Sony's side. They give a bunch of accounts free codes and make them run a pipeline that sets up the account, then the game, and finally they run it. A lot of the reviews also look faked so they probably used a similar method.
>>559717605I bet you eat a lot more than popcorn, dont you, fatass?
>>559717616roblox is ran at a loss retard
>>559717649i think you haven't really looked around in life to see how a lot of highschool shit happens even in the highest order. heres a hint: politics
>>559717172Playing solo the skillset that's rewarded more than being good at FPS is being a sneaky little fuck. Most fights are backstabbing. You'll absolutely still be raped, this is a rapist game, everyone gets raped. Just don't fall for the trap of using any LMG, the only one that's decent is the heavy ammo one.>>559717356The access terminals actually show you what kind of card in what quantity they need, but it took me a while to figure that out, while it's just matching colors I did not get it at first - the pinwheel doors require two of the green cards which drop from commanders/are strewn about, I think exfils require one green, the armory in one of the POIs is one green one orange I think, it's kind of just a fuckin lot to keep track of. There's also keys to open the other wings of the pinwheel that look like CDs but I have no idea where those are, I've only found one once in the last 2 minutes of a run.
I find it hilarious that people don't realize this game was supposed to replace Destiny 2. That's why they're letting D2 dry out. This game is generating 0 revenue
>>559717715And yet somehow it makes billions. Bet Bungie wishes they could make billions.
>>559717789
>>559717789>I was a person who was really into Concord
>>559717663You have to do that 3 different times, the terminals are in groups of 2 and there's a terminal in each major POI on the map. If you go to one and it doesn't activate you did it out of order. I think it's just part of their lore/ARG stuff for Cryo Archive.
>>559717714>implying someone on 4chan is not a fatass
>>559717036This. It's only launch day server issues. Once the weekend starts we'll have 150k easy, if not more.
>>559717789Whats wrong with Destiny 2? they just got star wars didnt they?
>>559717961My BMI is smack dab in the middle of optimal with visible abs and I think the game is great
>>559717993Next weekend is unironically going to hit 100k+. This is a game that takes a few hours to get into, but as soon as word of mouth spreads post launch, it’s going to pop off. Legitimately the most fun shooter in years.
game's not that hardthe average player is a literal lemming eager to die
>>559718151It's too smart for the /v/ shitskin goblins
>>559718264You'd think after the 2nd claymore they'd stop chasing.>well surely he wouldn't have a THIRD claymore!
>>559716640>shoot you from behind as you’re sprinting away with a head start because you did in fact, hear their footstepsHear footsteps, and start running away... Instead of waiting and shooting?Holy negroid. Like straight up under-pajeet level IQ. >He start running away, to give away his own footsteps, after hearing enemy footsteps.
>>559717723Idk I've never been bombed for possessing nuclear weapons in highschool
>encounter destroyer>apologizes for shooting me on accident and even drops a shield and patch kit>encounter assassin 5 seconds before exfil>knifes me in the back and doesn't even take my things
>>559717387Me get sleepy
>>559718053destiny 2 has hit record lows and keeps dropping, it bounces around 5 to 10k now. they delayed the next expansion by almost 4 months and put out a post thats basically saying they could announce the closure of destiny 2.
>>559718264Very good work, you are beautiful saar
>>559717514I've been doing my first runs with sponsored kits and if I survive just carrying that over to the next fill. That way I don't feel to bad about losing stuff because yeah I've gone in with a decent loadout and when I do that and see the console logos on my teammates cards I already know I'm dead
>>559718059Post your HRT tits now.
>>559716640Sprinting away over open ground is the worst thing you can do when you hear footsteps. Sprinting is much, MUCH louder than walking. You are basically announcing to them exactly where you are, and if you're sprinting away it's normally saying that you're not trying to fight which means they probably want to dome you.
>marathon already on track to clear it's player metric yesterday for the same hour timeframe
>>559718264These are actual p-zombies. But it also shows the sheer turbo aggression the game has which gets really fucking old for an extraction shooter if it had any good pve but also because emergent stories and talking to people is actually fun.
>>559718354Oh yeah, like I’m going to out-shoot and pull a 1v3. When they were all grouped together and I had no explosives.
>>559718264Claymores are going to get nerfed so hard even though they are doing what they are supposed to do.
>>559718603>tfw you were a true believer from day 1 and didnt listen to /v/ incels
>>559718390To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Arachne players
>>559718603It's so close to crimson desert -which i will pirate- that it has really lost its window.
>>559718603Exactly. The game is actually gaining players. Just what I said here>>559718151The second people realize that all you need is a little time to get acclimated to how it’s played, they’ll be all over it. The gunplay is too good, it shits all over Tarkov and Arc.
>>559718760Completely different fanbases you obese dipshit
>>559718671I'd understand nerfing the drone shit, but they better not touch the claymores themselves. Corner-trapping dumbasses when they chase you is incredible, and it has clear audio and visual cues so the counterplay is very easy if you stop to think for two seconds about blindly chasing.
>>559718650>Oh yeah, like I’m going to out-shoot and pull a 1v3Now it makes sense. But I would sit somewhere and pretend I don't exist. That's better than creating footsteps. Maybe only one would notice you, not all three. So the other two would have to turn around and you wouldn't get insta-deleted.
Finally level 12 wahooTime to do my first outpost rook run
>>559718898>Exactly. The game is actually gaining players>Has lost peak players every day since releaselol
>>559717743LMG with a shield is good, started using it ever since I got killed by a guy with that.
>>559718053They completely changed the game for the worse and turned it into an extemely long and meaningless treadmill, and made all the old content irrelevant due to a new gearing systen which they didn't adapt for the rest of the game. They removed all the additional content of TFS due to their retarded seasonal design and replaced it with subpar content, the star wars content was abysmal and completely butchered the story while perpetuating the retarded changes they did with EoF.They were trying to shift to a model that would let them run both Marathon and Destiny with the minimum amount of work but it failed and fulminated D2 in the process, then they completely abandoned it so they could "finish" Marathon to avoid getting beheaded by Sony.
>>559718898I think its going to take until cryo to see big growth, cryo is supposed to be the super big cool thing marathon has and thats when reviewers are going to be dropping their reviews too.
>>559718748>tfw you were a true believer from day 1I hated the graphics after watching gameplay.Played it myself and got immersed, love it now, and am ratting 24/7.
>>559718917Every game dips from the same player pool, sorry. Especially so for marathon which is the AAA cattle audience.
>solo>supply drop on the way to my quest, the one between south-relay and overflow on perimeter>call it then just keep walking>go do quest and come back minutes later, just in time to find someone running up to claim the untouched supply drop>gun them down from a distance while they're stuck in the open>loot them, loot supply drop, start walking away>hear another guy sprinting up>walk around a pillar, wind up behind him as he stops to loot the guy I'd just killed>gun him down tooAll the benefit of being a campy little rat and I didn't even have to wait around. You gotta wonder about some peoples' awareness in this game though
>>559719082LMG with shield loses in a close range fight to any SMG. They're good for bots, but consistently worse at close range than pretty much any other weapon. And then at a range where it'd have advantage, it's inaccurate so it just loses again.
>>559718053The game still hasn't recovered after it was totally raped by the introduction of the Portal-based activities (Netflix/mobile game style mission selection with nailed-down difficulty levels which all but made power level into a ticket to enter the ride, with forced power deltas ensuring you become weaker as you advance in levels), tiered loot and hilariously extended power progression threadmill which was also supposed to have gear expiring every season (each new season in this new shitshow system started this year was supposed to have a New Gear modifier that provided additional bonuses if you use it, and some activities straight up prevented you from using anything except New Gear... doesn't it sound familiar?).
>>559718760>It's so close to crimson desert -which i will pirate-I boughted(buyed) Resident evil requiem Ps5 disc, haven't even opened it. Marathon 24/7
>>559719137No it fucking doesnt. Third person RPG games and FPS extraction shooters are different pools
>>559719286It consistently beats an SMG at short-mid range for me. Outside of knifing range anyway, as long as you're far enough to actually ADS.
>>559719095They went through with sunsetting 2.0, after spending the entirety of Beyond Light-Final Shape trying to undo their biggest mistake. What the fuck did they think was going to happen? I took a glance at the Fate shit and it looks like they created 5x more work?? How the fuck was this supposed to make it easier?
Jeanne I am playing again. i actually dropped the only blue gun i got by accident and lost it.
server slam numbers werent much better than the full game disregarding the first few days
I have the Twitch sniper skin but no LMG skin yet
>>559718053>Whats wrong with Destiny 2?>they just got star wars didnt they?Leaving aside what other people said, that is the problem.They finally finished their decade long story and they just kept moving on with an epic Star Wars expansion.
>already seeing people do the bhop side strafe shit during fights to try and displace their hitbox
>>559719046It’s literally about to pass it’s Saturday peak, retard chuddie.
>>559719115I don't think aspirational content is going to suddenly add another 100k players, it will probably be great for the people that are already in, and you might get some new people who watch streamers do the cool thing, but if this game is gonna grow it's probably gonna be slow.>>559719405I've had the exact opposite experience pretty much every time, on both sides of the equation. Within 20m any SMG outdamages it massively. Outside of 20m it doesn't kill quick enough to prevent someone from reaching cover and resetting to a fair fight where they probably have something more suited to the range.I don't think I've ever lost a fair fight to an LMG, and I've only won a single fair fight with one, against a guy who had an Overrun that had to reload because that's what base Overruns do.That being said, do you use controller? I'm kind of wondering if there's something about some guns that just work like shit with Mouse controls.
>>559719410They pretended they reduced the grind by saying 'you don't have to do only stuff with pinnacle rewards which were limited by week, you now can do whatever you want and still get progress', but the part they left out was you received items with miniscule progression per mission which also reduced the more you advanced towards the level cap. Getting more power also meant you needed more score to continue getting rewards, which meant higher difficulties (making you weaker by enforced power deltas where combatants always have higher level than you) and slapping as many negative modifiers as you can. Basically the game turned into a CBT clownfest you had to endure for little benefit. No wonder people were grinding fucking Caldera and K1 Logistics solo missions ad nauseam because you could do a single run in 5 minutes.
>>559719602>cammyautist already showing how good 3rd-person peaking was with destroyer shieldDestiny autism will always follow bungie.
>>559719095>They were trying to shift to a model that would let them run both Marathon and Destiny with the minimum amount of work but it failed and fulminated D2 in the process, then they completely abandoned it so they could "finish" Marathon to avoid getting beheaded by Sony.Talk to a guy on the inside a decent amount, as far as I'm aware this is untrue and they're really pretty decently separate teams. It's really just that their management is completely retarded and thinks fucking the game over eternally is good.
>>559719471nevermind i ended up quitting mid run this game is ass
>>559719709I didn’t say it would ADD 100k, but I do think it’ll break 100k easily. The game is incredibly addictive.
I fucking love playing rook brosI love hiding in plants and watching full teams walk straight past me
>>559719807I know they really wanted the cool tactical shield but making it put you in third person was a mistake IMO
>>559719602I don't know what that is, but crouch strafing is broken in this. pretty much instant and i win most of my 1 on 1 fights doing it
>>559719843Marathon poached a few people, like 10-12. And yeah, leadership thought the director/turbo grind in Destiny was what people wanted. Turns out that no they fucking didn't.
>>559719807remind me, how many years it took for bungie to stop people from doing that in trials?
*gulp*
I would
>>559720292I did.
>still no comment on thermals
>>559717743I guess I got to get back into the CoD mindset and pull my knife out if I don't have my shotty indoors
>>559720292Give her a vagina you cowards
>>559719709Idk what the damage reduction on the LMG shield is but I'm pretty sure it's enough to cover this gap. I'll be honest and say I've used the HMG far more than the Retaliator but the DPS is the same and I've not lost a straight fight to an SMG I could ADS at with it, so idk. That HMG is also really pretty decent at range, too. It's a good gun.>do you use controller?no
>>559718985wahoo I'm having a BLAST
>>559720048Since the hitbox is constantly being updated in real time as you move around, quick erratic movements displace it by causing it to not actually be on your model for even a few ms can give you a big advantage in firefights. It's also extremely gay.
>>559720208>just exploded up 5kAlright. This is paid for.
>>559720119It was BL/WQ I dont remember which, but trials was only re-introduced in Shadowkeep
>Destroyer has 'armor'>still has the same exact health as all the other moronsFAKE AND GAY BUNGIE WHEN WILL WE GET ACTUAL GEAR
>broke saturday’s peakBANISH ALL CHUDS NOWMARATHON FUCKING WONSUCK MY ASSHOLE YOU RETARD /V/IRGINS
>>559720540Don't the shells have unique baseline stats?
It's an actual horror game.Outpost is spooky as hell. Nightime Marsh will be giga spooky too.
>>559720292ABG
>>559720540Brilliant! BRILLIANT! I have warned you, I have offered DOOM and rape and so much more. And still, you deny me. Good. Every post you make, every bit of cope you inhale, paints a worthier tale, crowned by the triumph of Bungie's rape. In truth, this is what I always desired, my little Marasissy: A display of my... DOOM, immortalized by those who resist it. Marasissys are defined by how much they cope, after all. Unfortunately, this duality we are partners in... is short-lived. Soon, I will grow beyond such raped companies like Bungie. Until then, I will savor my rape of Marathon.
>>559720346we're listeningwe heard you
>>559720554WORD OF MOUTH BROS, STAND BACK AND STAND BY
LOG IN NOW IF YOU'RE AT WORK LET YOUR STEAM DECK IDLE TURN ON REMOTE PLAY PUMP IT UP NOW CALL YOUR CHILDREN AND HAVE THEM START UP THE GAME FOR YOU I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES
There are two Marathon players:>Vandal fuckers>Thief fuckersWhich one are you, runner?
>>559719876your ass on my cock when i catch you off guard in Marathon
>>559720724Assassin fucker
>>559720397Those DPS values are at their stated RPM, they have spin-ups. That being said the HMG is great,. if you can get a magazine mod to give it more ammo per clip it's a fuckin beast. In my head I really don't count the Demolition with the other two since it says HMG in the name. I guess overall I have to retract the sentiment. The Retaliator is fucking garbage. I'm not sure I've even seen a Devastator in release.
>>559720570Yes but health is not a variable stat.
>found airfield key while doing outpost>sweating>exfiled with all of this from a BLUE key, not a purple or a gold, a BLUEkey rooms are, heh, keyed
No one plays destroyer dude
>>559720724oh y'know
>>559720724thief
Not having a proper solo mode balance will kill this game by next month.
>>559720890i want to lick her tummy
>>559720724Rook fucker
>>559720802Fair, and I guess. It's still hard to tell though given I don't think we have a number for the damage reduction on the shield. Psychological effect of people thinking they shouldn't be shooting it also seems to be a factor.
>>559720724I'm a Vandal DSL enjoyer.
>>559720724>>Vandal fuckers>>Thief fuckersBoth are useless cumpdumpsters. But Vandal is more attractive, even if he's a troon
>>559720961It’s literally hitting new peaks. Stop dooming, retard /v/ermin.
>>559721000>Vandal is more attractive, even if he's a troonis it actually a troon?
>>559721020>>559720706>>559720554it still has not beaten its all time peak ill get worried when it beats that
>>559721000>even if he's a troonthey're purpose built volitionless bio robots how does troonhood even make sense
>>559721020>New peaksYou wish you knew what that meant.
>>559720594Hauler is still the most nightmarish area in the game. There are always two or more players spawning nearby, and it's the only close route for them to cross the tunnels. And UESC are always in the building, especially ghosts
>>559720874the autistic apexfags do
>>559721064how could a reproducible shell possibly be a transvestite, you can just print a girl, at worst its gender bender which irl troons cant self insert to so its kinda fine
>>559721074It’s only natural that some people will bounce off at first before they get into it, just wait as word of mouth spreads. Once you get in the loop it hooks you.
>>559720874Destroyer is genuinely underrated in solos.
>>559721178I mean people go there for the gunlockers more than anything
>>559720724awful 3 second oc
>>559721252Word of mouth for this game is negative. But it takes a day or two to spin up new farms in India.
>>559720890Xhe doesn't even look like this in the game.
>>559721020>peaksSure, I'm talking about player retention though, if you ALWAYS need a squad to have some modicum of fun in the game, it'll be increasingly hard to keep finding people to play at the same time as you all the time, unless you want to play with randos and that's ass.
>>559721178>go to Hauler>chock full of mid and high tier UESC bots in extremely tight CQB hallways with minimal exfil points in each room, it's basically a big hallways>also there are at least two other players in there at any given time
Well this was fucking humiliating. Never going crew fill again.
>>559721064Kind of a moot concept by the lore standards. The Runner is a digitized consciousness that was once human, the Shells are just biosynthetic bodies - a Runner wouldn't even have a biological sex to define anymore, so the sex of the shell wouldn't really be a match or a mismatch. The runner might even just be a fucking AI, or the consciousness might be deteriorating to the point that their memories as whatever their original gender were are gone anyways so it's hard to even argue a "male" Runner is trooning out by using a female shell. It's a soulless corpo slop future where none of that shit even exists anymore.
>>559720724missing one
>>559721306>his grenades remain unusedNGMI
>>559720724>thief gf always steals my food>she doesn't realize i've been buying extra food specifically so she can steal it from mestupid bitch, should probably marry her so i can make a moron out of her for the rest of her life
Are there any sites that have BiS for Shells and weapon mods?
>>559721178>>559721393If you're just trying to get through, stick to the east side using the side doors. It's a straight run from door-to-door and you can avoid the main area.
>>559721295If the cat is actually durandal, this would be me
>>559721426never bring gear into crew fill. you will get two retards in sponsor kits that die to the first person they see
IT JUST KEEPS GOING UP
>>559721252What would you consider in the loop? I see people asking players to subject themselves to double digit hours to see if they actually enjoy the game. That's insane given the media oversaturation we have.
>Sony botting the Xbox console store
>>559721638AIEEEEEE THE PERFIDIOUS JAPANESE HAVE THEIR CLAWS IN EVERY DIGITAL STOREFRONT
So how do I contribute to the team as thief? This shell feels fucking useless in fights
>>559721603Getting out of the beginner map and getting some contracts done. The problem is people bring in their good stuff at first, when they need to be spamming free kit
>>559721449>Kind of a moot concept by the lore standards. The Runner is a digitized consciousness that was once human, the Shells are just biosynthetic bodies - a Runner wouldn't even have a biological sex to define anymore, so the sex of the shell wouldn't really be a match or a mismatch.The lore doesn't make any sense. Shells have videos giving them defined personalities like they're an actual character from a hero shooter instead of just being a disposable robot body we control. I think it's especially stupid in Vandals video where she is just hanging out in a chair talking to an AI.
Has anyone elses game started doing this weird thing where certain UI elements/graphics take a few seconds to render properly?
>running around on perimeter>thought we heard a team at north relay. activate TAD, recon activates prime>no hostiles whatsoever >okay whatever>move onto hauler, bro does a contract>moving to station>recon goes down INSTANTLY from a sniper>run into building>get into a gunfight with some guys on the hill, get low on shields>teammate turns on mic>"BRO WE GOTTA GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, SORRY RECON">run to exfil but they've got a drone stealing our shit>shoot it down>decide to activate exfil but then run around the entire map because we're sure they'll just kill us if we try to exfil so close to them since they know that's where we're going>circle the map>no sign of them>revive recon>gtfothis game is SCARY
>>559721757You scout out the enemy teams with your drone and visor through smokeOr you can pretend you're in Donbass and strap some claymore and get some quick frags stupidly ez

>>559720724Reconfucker
>>559721757claymore suicide dronesdrones for scouting and tagging enemiesgrapple into fights where you have low ground for surprise attackbut thief is really the jew class you're not supposed to help just take the loot faster than your teammates can
>>559721757in a lot of ways thief is better at recon than recon>grapple for easy high ground/flanks>hack players with visor>wide area scouting with drone, plus stealing enemy runners' equipment for the lulz
>>559721757>This shell feels fucking useless in fightsShe's a weak cumdump, but if I could only play thief, I'd just scan rooms when it's too quiet.Or let 2 teammates go left, and send the Red Glowie drone to the right, and tell teammates when to start shooting(enemies face the drone).
>>559721542Good advice, thanks
>>559717841Not sure what the point here is, but companies don't bleed money for passion projects unless they're named Hi-Rez
>>559721757put claymores on your drone and 1v3 entire teams.
>Rook can spawn in with as little as 8 minutes left in a matchGenuinely what is the fucking point lmao. It should be 12-15m not 8-15.
Wait a minute, Marathon has RDR, BG3, and FF16 VAs on it? Are they retarded? Those VAs are worth millions now.
>>559722016>put claymores on your drone and 1v3I'd shoot the drone. It's bright red.
>>559721835Pretty sure this is from the lore shifting mid-development away from the Runner/Shell being the same thing at the time the good video was made to the Runner being more of a player entity while the Shells are just shells. They have a 'Personality Matrix' or some shit that makes them behave/talk certain ways - but that's probably because all the voice lines were recorded before that shift was made. It also lets them stick with the MTX/visual balance strategy of essentially a hero shooter where the shells have defined outlines and personalities that guide model designing and let people differentiate what a character can do by looking at it.
>>559722149Most people are dead or gone by then so you can pick through some corpses
>>559722176Nice fucking aimbot.
>>559722225I WANT TO KILL
>>559722149That's the best time though, it's plenty of time to fill a backpack and the odds of running into someone is very low
>>559721876None of this happened. The game isn't exciting enough for that to happen. I'm not even sure if that's possible.
>>559722176>console auto aim with a weapon that has homing ammo
>>559721986>hack players with visorWhen is this ever actually viable, especially compared to just shooting them?Is it not short range like the vision on loot?

Thief players are asking to get instant loss'd and fucked after getting downed.
Marathon unironically is actually the most hardcore, fun shooter on the market right now. It's not forgiving in the slightest, and its actually shocking that the place that loves to talk about difficulty and souls games and all that shit is completely out of touch with how actually good this game is.Bunch of fucking posers. >better twitch numbers>consistent player numbers>probably sold over a million copies easily alreadycope, /dg/. cope /arg/.
>>559723483It's the energy shotty
>>559723662>this character exists >white rabbit skin for this character exists >they do all the marketing with vandal the troon why did bungie suicide? did they not want this game to have success? they want to be relegated to being a destiny support studio for eternity it seems.

>>559724174which game are you talking about
And the /arg/ fags immediately expose themselves, lolWhy is your general so dead?
I need someone to tell me where the closest DCON is to Quarantine on Dire Marsh please I am mid mission
This game will outlive Arc.
>>559724283
why has marathon been unwavering at 9.0 on steam but is a 5.0 on metacritic?
so from what I'm hearing that "weekend comeback" literally failed to manifest and most of what we're seeing now is literally gamerdads who are pre quitting the game (exfil achievement stats back this up), 20k within a week and then 10k in a month is looking likely
>>559724283go, my son
>>559723000The game has such a pathetically low player base, it's essentially the entire 133k member subreddit. That's the problem you fucking retard. Maybe if this game had 500k players like STS2 it wouldn't be a problem.
>>559724319Where is rape central
>>559724332/v/tards spamming negative reviews trying to force a tortanic
Even if the game is a financial failure I hope it gets the recognition it deserves, it's the most interesting AAA shooter in years
>>559709527I have blasted someone put of the exfill circle in the last second before, it was quite the lol
>>559724332Because on steam you can't post a review unless you've actually played the game, meanwhile Metacritic is full of people who are review-bombing because they're either>butthurt destinydads who are upset their shit game got killed>braindead arcfags who think their game is good
>>559724319King I bless your runs
>>559723958>>559724174It does sell the illusion that the majority of people are trying to clock-out of their odd dangerous work but there's this low but real possibility of still running into a bunch of murderers and having to temporarily become one at that moment and praying to win so those will never murder anyone again and hopefully, things will get easier for everyone.
>>559723000t. never seen the battlefield subreddit
>>559724219Dead internet theoryNobody is playing these games, and theres actually only 20 of us here, the rest is AI and were basically in a simulation
>>559724452The visual design of the game is extremely refreshing.
the vibe shift around this game will be studied for years to come. the reviews and WoM are so good, and monday is payday. expect to see at least 100k players tomorrow.
>>559723791Thief looks retarded. Creepy ass doll joints. Plus she's chinese. Not racist. Just don't like 'em.
Which shell is the best for a shitter?Also how are you guys getting good loot on outpost rook? All the dead guys I find have free kit garbage on them.
>>559724563>doll joints.That's the hottest part. She's like a walking sex doll.

I wish marathon had a viable melee build
>>559724534everyone was out celebrating international women day100k tomorrow is a guarantee
Shooterfags deserve games like Shart Raiders if they want to shit on marathon. Bungie doesn't use AI.

>>559724280because no new content. but imagine not being able to beat a game without a content update in months. but not only failing but also getting absolutely btfo in the process.
>>559719807For fucks sake if they nerf the shield becahse of these sweaty autists so that I can't see where the fuck my team-mates are behind me I'll drop this game like a sack of shit
>>559724756then why are you here, just to hang around bots beep boop stupid nigger
>>559724494Yeah. The fantasy is there. Marathon feels more like an arena where everyone is just there to kill.
>/arg/ is brigading and shitting up the threadthey feel threatened
>>559724605Recon has the useful radar skill so you can add utility. Or Triage for ressing and the medbots. I usually just go Vandal as the double jump is useful for getting into places without using the front door, and arm cannon can stop people chasing you, people shit themselves when the orb comes toward them and explodes. For solo assassin seems like the only option even just for the smoke extract.
Hello?Anyone?Best shell for someone who’s not good but trying to improve?Can we talk about the game instead of charts?

>>559724837>because no new content.this. marathon came out at a good time where arc raiders is between big patches, but I think when arcs new map drops people will just bounce back to arc and then back marathon when it gets its big patch.
>>559724885Truly the saddest motherfuckers in modern gaming. Shartfags are the genuine scum of /vg/. /dg/ too, they've been cheering on the game's downfall for months, there's tons of them lurking right now.
>>559724869I didn't say i dislike Marathon. It does what it says it does. You ARE going to die a lot. It's intended, so the incentive is either getting better at not getting caught or becoming very good at fighting so you become someone else's problem. Game delivers it's premise.
>>559724605>>559724962Triage is probably the most easy/straightforward shell to get value from.With that said, getting good is much more dependant on you than on which shell you pick.
>>559725013>If they failed then why are you posting in this general?To laugh at you shitters coping about getting dicked down by Arc. You were shitting up the general weeks before release and how it was going to eclipse Arc. We can see that is not the case.
>>559724962Assassin.Don't hesitate to use your abilities.Smoke exfil sites.Exfil at guarded points and smoke them, the UESC bots won't be able to do anything to you.
can you guys tell me why some of you troons just lie and say that bungo only stole some decals from antireal. why is this the cope hill you guys die on? im so confused. the entire artstyle of this tranny is the basis of your game which is why it was delayed indefinitely. why are you in denial over it when even bungo has acknowledged this?
>>559725137Yeah that’s why I’m practicing with free kits. How many hours in FPS would you say you need to be good?
>>559725093Triage
so what does the george droyd v/b skill do exactly?
>>559725209The argument is void by now because that chick became an art consultant after the controversy was resolved and she was compensated so now it's no longer a stolen artstyle but rather art directed to be like that.
Booted up the game and I'm greeted by what looks like a massive buttplug, except the round part is the moon? And the rest is a big column made out of blue and yellow legos? What is that thing?

>>559725476I'm a girl and even I play better than this.
>>559725182>To laugh at you shitters coping about getting dicked down by Arc.So you ain't winning in the Twitch audience. Your game doesn't get any actual verifiable engagement. No one is talking about shart raiders on /v/, its been Marathon for months. No one cares about your little faggy-ass dadgamer fantasy. The player count is obviously botted as fuck. Your game has literal AI generated content in it, its a bunch of slop.If that wasn't bad enough, you spent your entire weekend in this general shitting this place up constantly talking about steam charts. You are SO threatened by a game doing peaks of 80k REAL players while you're sitting on a faked 200k number.You don't need to admit you're afraid. You show it with your replies.Kill yourself.
>>559725476literally meI did get slightly better though after 50 games
>>559725397Yeah I mashed spacebar during the intro. Am I supposed to watch it?

>>559725669>We /dg/fags are here to warn you about bungieYou've been shitting up this general the entire weekend talking about player numbers and making wild accusations about how the game is but you've never played a single fucking minute of the game. You don't own it. Shut the fuck up, no one cares about what some former addict has to say.
This amount of insecurity from Arc players to come in here and spam posts about steam charts is pretty cringe.
>>559725584Never use twitch stats to verify anything. Companies and people bot anything. It's a known problem that the site itself has given up on solving and neither do companies throwing money into it want solved since it makes it seem like the numbers keep going up.

>>559726102yeah i just sell everything. i dont even like 90% of the guns, and the one gun i want i cant even unlock it from upgrades.
Im gonna be a fan of this game but im not gonna play it, 7 hours and I had to quit.so im gonna be a fan that watches peanut and cross play BUT maybe catches up with lore...ill still read and post in the thread
so why did the scientists in hazmat suits in the cinematic die?
>>559723716It's pretty casual if we're being honest. Heavy aim assist, you can always get a team revive so long as one member lives and goes back to the boxes, easy to get good gear and immediately puts you head and shoulders above everyone more than one tier below.

>>559726235>I will now fuck your robot
Shart Raider drones about to look you in the eyes and tell you that Bongo Cat genuinely has 134k players who aren't bots. And that Team Fortress 2 genuinely has 50k+ players on it despite literal years and years of evidence proving otherwise.But no, Marathon is clearly failing and is doing horribly. That's why it has more players than Apex Legends, Helldivers 2 and Battlefield 6.>>559726076Arc general is a dead fucking general and /dg/ shouldn't even exist in its current state.
>>559726506hahahahah
>The always horrible experience feels better the more you play it.Bungie has cracked how to mindbreak people into compliance kek.
I think the biggest failure of the game is the cosmetics, their money maker.>Only 2 cosmetics that you actually buy (3 for vandal, 1 for recon and triage.)>Weapons skins and shit for a game where you aren't holding on to specific guns to long. >Battle pass with 1 skin.>Skins for the characters being largely just recolors.What was their plan here?

>>559726427Yeah I'd say it's like a faster-paced Hunt. Which is a good thing in my opnion, Hunt was fun but just so slow all the time, slow to fights, slow to upgrades. I think most who think it's hardcore just never touched an extraction shooter ever or came from only playing Ark raiders.
>>559726501i feel like i have to force myself to play this game. if im already tired im not even get past the title screen.but its just going to get worse as time goes so im gonna feel the need to play when i get home tonight before people fuck off or its just full of level 50 sweats before week 1 ends

Wait I get it now. Arc players can't handle this game because it's more PvP-focused and Arc players can't deal with getting shot at. Look at this anon seething: >>559726657

>>559726720Sorry. Whatever the tranny was before hand or whatever. Shit man I don't know.
>>559726557Yeah this is quite retarded of them considering they must have had this plan for at least 2 years and surely recolours can be outsourced to anyone.

>>559726557The battle pass is really retarded.If I'm buying that battle pass, I buy it because I like the vandal skin and the aesthetic of it so all the weapon skins and shit should be in the same style but they aren't. You have a random construction themed gun on the last page with the vandal skin and nothing else in the battle pass is construction themed.

>>559725209antireal didn't come up with the art style either, she was taking inspiration from the designers republic same as bungie, which is how bungie stumbled upon her woke in the first place
my vaults just too juicy, don't even see a reason to rook
I bumped into someone after a fight, the only reason I survived was because he was friendly and because my shotgun had no ammo. so he didn't kill me on sight and I couldn't blast him in the face with a shotgun, and we happily went our separate ways

>>559729282Good escape ability with the double jump and powerslide, super sprinting, arm cannon is like a spare grenade. Like stuff I've done it run away from someone and double jump to the roof, they are expecting me to be outside the door but I get them from above.
>>559728025It's the stickers.
>>559728067It certainly gets different in Outpost, that place is a fuckin constant firefight
>virgin destroyer has an ineffectual (but cool looking) shield, thrusters that are mapped to the jump button and thus awkward to use and will accidentally go off sometimes when someone presses space too hard, a super sprint that quickly overheats you, and an admittedly effective rocket barrage that relies on hitting your targets first, so it's only of use in finishing off weakened enemies>CHAD vandal gets an arm cannon that bounces enemies all over the place and mogs UESC grunts, basically a free grenade that's easier to use, a SUPER slide that gets you across huge distances instantly, a double jump because trannies can double jump, and a prime that lets her zoom around and reload quicklyVANDAL MOGS
>>559729602All that just to get stabbed by an Assassin in solos.
>>559729760>>559729760>>559729760
>>559729602Honestly Destroyer's rockets are really useful against UESC but I've never been able to use them against players well because it takes half a mag of continuous fire to trigger them, so by the time you've triggered a barrage someone's already down. Really good against tankier UESC guys though, especially while they're clumped up upon spawning in
>>559724885I'm fairly sure they don't give a shit about Marathon and it's usually you shills who are seething non stop about them.

>>559729282Vertical mobility mostly - you can leave in ways other players can't follow, and you can approach in ways they don't usually expect, and you can shoot people out of cover with her blaster, or up into the air, which completely fucks their accuracy up, and also most people aren't ready to aim anyways while they're being thrown through the air.I can also get two POIs away from a less than ideal encounter with her ult, and slide lets you pretty easily dodge grenadier bullshit/exit a situation immediately
>camping thief tries to kill me as destroyer>tries to fly the drone around, it gets shot down>finally tries to sneak up behind me>gets knifed and downed>had a shotgun, a blue schema, multiple blue crafting items, a backpack, 4 stacks of healing items and a self revivelol
>>559728546>mods, cores, and implants are all something manner of "do 2% bonus damage to the enemies mental health when you double jump after a fart"I dont get it sometimes.
some of these upgrade tree ingredients are far too rare for the amount needed per upgrade.I can get diodes, gel or biomass, a single packet usually has 3 of them. but things like the rods or biostripping are nuts, even in dedicated POI's you'll often be lucky to find 1-2 and that's dependent on a successful exfil. not to mention that some of the barter prices are insane, oh cool, 10 blue biostripping for a shitty blue shotgun? are you out of your mind?
Guys I think machine guns are actually not that bad, conditional on you having the frontal shield mod.I've been using it on destroyer and most players genuinely don't know what to do when confronted with it, they freeze up or simply don't understand what it is and that it's basically an instawin button in 1v1 duels.
Kind of hoping they nerf Triage. His healing is just flat out way too strong at the moment.
>>559728718Post that image again because its 404.Also, my review will stay negative until they implement PvE mode.
