Thief anal
recon is so lucky...
game seems pretty cool I hope it doesn't get memed to death
Player's will spike again when they release Cryo Archive. It's going to be hard to keep up this ARG stuff though 4 months down the line if all they have to update with is night time dire marsh. I love the game and the lore is really cool, ive already got my 30 bux worth of gameplay. >>560286497anal in the ass
>>560286637I hate vandal but she's the only good one
>>560286791They're all good if you know how to play them.
>>560286859I'm talking appearance wise

I have no gear fear, but i'm honestly fucking trash at initiating fights or getting into a position that would be advantageous. I take a nice loadout and then lose it all in the silliest ways possible.
>>560286974Oh. I can fetishize them all.
>>560286497wtf
i have no gear fear either its jsut i feel like if i dont have a shotgun every fight is kinda fuckin over
5 NEW Contracts have appeared in the main Discord!
>>560287213>Client: UESC
>>560287213Why are they using discord for this crap
>>560287174It's not like my fights are against shotguns most of the time, nor always indoors, i just seriously fumble things that could be easy pickings. It's especially crazy in solos, where i'm literally the only one i can blame for my fuckups.
>>560287287YEAH THAT'S WEIRD EH MATE
When you’re playing Marathon and you’ve been trying to finish the same quest 6-7 games in a row
Marathon vault storage improvements coming next weekThe Marathon dev team announced upcoming changes to help players manage their Vault space.Changes include:▪ Larger stack sizes for consumables, ammo, salvage, and grenades▪ New Vault filters for keys and sponsored kitsThe changes are aimed at freeing up more storage space after player feedback that current stack sizes feel too small.More updates are expected in the upcoming patch.
>>560287287Oh shit my time to shine
>>560287538this doesn't help anyone but people already swimming in good gear that will let them continue to roll lobbies
Orion is cool. Hopefully he goes rogue off from the UESC and goes full Colonel Kurtz. I’d hang with that nigga.
>>560287801
>>560287389That only happened to me with the final Run/Hide contract, which I still haven't completed.
>>560287972Is Orion a human or AI? In some of the logs it says he uses another AI called Cerberus. IIRC there is also a log that says he used to date a MIDA operative.
>chest implants go in your boobs and wombwhat the fuck did they mean by this
>Load in with a decent loadout>look over at teammates>grey shields and that awful Cyber Acne rifleLe
>>560288614do you make sure you see the season levels first? im conducting an experiment
>>560287213How am I even supposed to do this shit lmao
snuck up on a squad breaching pinwheel and killed them all with 1 claymore kek
>>560288915go on discord, go to the official channel, in New Noise type in /contract and add in whatever code you find https://x.com/MarathonCodec/status/2032592543087530244 has all of these new ones if you just want to copy and paste.
I play this game on Xbox. Feels good, looks good, runs good. But I feel like I’m at a small disadvantage with how much it sucks to do looting and inventory management on a controller. I’ve watched footage of PC players and they can do all that shit way faster.
>getting fomo for a fucking arg and unlocking "lore" or whatever
>>560289202same. it feels all so clunky to play most of the time. haven't played enough to get used to it so nothing is fluid. gunfights feel like im just stuck in the ground
Holy shit it’s just rats it’s all fucking rats now>spend 15 mins wandering around the map not a soul in sight>8 mins left, kill some bots with knife>suddenly a nigger Thief is sneaking up on me>get the drop on him>spams smokes and runs away>spams more smokes and I lose him>whatever>disengage>headshotted by a long shot by himFucking niggerIt’s this goddamn shit every gameNo one comes out unless they get the drop and they fucking rat
>>560289365thats why i only stick with squads. id rather have fun with it than deal with slow paced games watching my fuckin back the whole time
>>560289365skill issue
I main thief and I have started to just exfil alone if I wanna keep my loot and guns safeonly when i dont think my randoms are worth the trouble or i just dont like them
is Bungie really the only ones left in the industry that do sci-fi FPS??
>I don't like solo, lost purple shield to a camper>I want someone to help me stay safe...>I need someone to reassure me...Pussy complaints aside, full original game has solos and trios.You will only beat the game, when you manage to extract good gear in solos. And you have to eliminate a squad in trios, alone, by yourself.>impossible taskPlatinum achievement.
>>560288496muh
>>560289519I main your lips on my solid shaft
>your rook body is already on the map but invulnerable while you're loading into the game>someone can just wait behind you and immediately kill youjust did this to another rook btw
Are reinforced shields and +1 shields the same shit basically or is one better than the other?
>>560290725Reinforced takes half damage so it's a straight upgrade. Also white shield chargers will technically fill reinforced shields since it's just one big "pip"
>>560290018thief alahu akbar drone does 1v3
>>560289365>extract in solo's>spectate other people>they're literally just sitting in cornerslol this game is so cooked without non-rats
>>560289365>No one comes out unless they get the drop and they fucking ratPredator(Recon) comes out.
>>560289519>I have started to just exfil aloneI want to try this, but ignore my teammates from the start, let them fuck off and die. I want to exfil-kill a squad, or a duo.
durandal is a cat
>>560290018Did so as a triage and basic bitch rook on two sperate occasions.
Put Trios, Duos, Solos and Rooks into the same match and the horror will escalate.
>>560291308>Did so as a triage and basic bitch rookOutstanding work. I want to do it as Recon(never even played trio).
I swear matchmaking for you crew fill is based on your load out value and rarity
this game is pretty brutal solo and playing trios with randoms is even more awful. Im not sure this game is for me
Controller players need to hang themselves
>>560291363Bigger map with a higher player count will be needed. Map doesn't have to be Warzone size, but at least 50% bigger than Perimeter. All hiding solos and Rooks will quickly get ran over, if they don't have space.
can you get banned for calling people slurshttps://files.catbox.moe/c7tuyx.mov
>try to ping warning on enemies before jumping them>realize I don't know how and I'd just pinged aggressive>destroyer pulls out "I hope you're afraid" as I drop down behind a guy creeping around alone, separated from his teamHeh
>>560291496Things a console shooter. Bungie makes console shooters. >But OG marathon was on-That’s a Mac Shooter, gosh. Learn.
>>560291308I really hope they take some inspiration from the Synthetik classes, especially since dudes like Engineer and Heavy Gunner don't really have an equivalent
>>560291605absolutely
>>560291605that guy's laugh was forced
Have any of you been able to meet a friendly besides a fellow Rook?
>>560291496Hate gamepad niglest so much it's mind numbing
>>560291546I feel like you could work around that with a per map limit to how many team types can be in a match. Maybe Perimeter has 2 trios, 1 duo, 4 solos and 3 rooks.
>>560290952its like it copied a BR format and forgot to include shit like gas circles
>>560291730>Have any of you been able to meet a friendlyNo, but I shoot people before they see me or can say something.
>>560291390It's amazing how lobotomized some trios can be and how easily the br33 can rip their asses apart.
Sometimes I get so nervous on solo runs a little poo comes out
So many fucking retards are level 40 and dont know how to use abilities or play the fucking game
i cant tell if im better off just solo banging my head against the wall for these contracts or rollin the dice with squad trio fills hoping to get them done too
I get so focused on solo runs goo comes out of my wiener
>be me, Destroyer>kill Vandal>woman on mic, "fuck you!!">feel a bit bad>split-second as I turn around a fucking Assassin knifes meFUCKING KILL YOURSELF
>>560292240>feel a bit bad
Bro how are you fighting a team with us and then you just go do something else
give me some bullet points
Most demoralizing thing I've experienced was hearing a Rook around the corner thanking a squad for sparing him, then running into him and reflexively knifing him once. I stopped and backed off. He did the same. Then we crouched at each other and she fucking shot me dead. Just don't bother trusting anyone. Kill or be killed.
>>560292348she said she almost finished her quest if not for me
i am having a hard time with this one.
>>560292505I'm just here to finish my contracts and eliminate the competition. It's none of my business.
>>560292240>>kill Vandal>>woman on mic>woman
>>560292189If you just started, a lot of the stuff can be done solo. The harder stuff where youre going all over the map and >in a single run can be easier with a trio if they arent retarded and will help.
>>560291730Twice, and each time I could've been easily killed.One was an assassin who kept emoting "Friendly" after I missed two shots. The second time was when I was playing rook and I ran into 2 people. We stared at each other and they followed me as I awkwardly back away; ended up extracting.
Just had a rook run on pinwheel. Love feeling like a detective whenever you load in and the team is nowhere to be seen.I got a 3K loadout, 3 self revives and a sniper plus my favorite volt smgI saw that after I left there was a squad of 3 rooks working together hunting me lmao
>teams extracting>down one but their sin smokes>push but get bogged down by the third>my teams just chilling 100 feet away watching Fuck offffffffff just fucking help meeeeeeeee its free fucking killssssssss
>>560291730A few rooks at the beginning and once when solo I was spying on some two guys waiting on a supply drop and they spotted me and said to come on over. We each looted what we wanted and went a different direction each. It was pretty cool.
Friend to no one, prey to none, predator to all.

The best thing about all of this is that the chest implant had Materialist+Thank you for reading my blogpost. My heart can't handle this game.
fastest way to upgrade my rook, need better weapons
>>560294043capstone 1 from each faction. focus traxus, mida, nucal
I would kill for a game like this that's skill based rather than gear based
Guys I love this game.
>>560294657>Lose>Feels frustrating cause it was unfair>Win>Doesn't feel satisfying cause it was unfairStarting to think this is just kind of a bad genre for people who can't cut it in proper competitive games
for you solo players out there, what % of your runs are successful? I feel like im at a 30% or below rate. Just cant seem to help dying to some random with a wstr or a sniper. I usually get 1 or 2 kills per match but as the end draws near i get got.
>>560294918bingo
>>560295148Like 10% lol about in line with the apex legends solo q experience
>walking through that eastern section of data wall with the fungi moth corpse thing>notice this mural/graffiti on the opposite end of the tunnel>stop to look at it>because of this I hear someone running up to me>crouch next to entrance>get the most disgusting camping kill in the most ass backwards part of the map I've seen in this game>can't help but apologize to the guy as I'm executingThe lesson is to pay attention to the environment, kids.
can you go in without weapons?
>>560295309it feels kinda awful. I can't pay for upgrades since i complete the quests but don't get any items. Idk, this game needs a safe pouch imo.
>>560294657i would kill for a proper single player game in this settingngl, i've been wishing for it to flop ever since it was revealed it's an extraction shooter/GaaS slop (basically, the same day as the first trailer hit)i'll probably get it on the spring sale but i'm still so butthurt about this
>>560293267i dont know as soon as shit told me to go to dire marsh things got less motivating. i still need to do the introduction to soudakekgi or whatever that requires the outpost and im not lookin forward to that.
>>560295719Synthetik is sorta like it
>>560295387Yep.
>>560295387Yes, just your knife.There is zero reason to do this when free kits exist though.
spent today just doing rook runs for credits, also post vault values!
>>560295347neat grafitti
>>560296139
>>560293976the quest are retarded
>>560296372time to rook it up !
>>560295719I'm fine with GaaS but extraction shooters are such an insanely soulless genre
>>560296676My survivability as a rook is just so minimal I'm usually better off just doing solo destroyer desu
My somewhat normie online friends are getting sick of the game because the game is too sweaty. They want to go back to arc raiders, which I find frankly to be a boring game.
>>560295719the way the game is set up doesn't work with extraction shooters at all.
There's a duo of nerds on dire marsh named talk tuah enjoyer and catboy and all they do is sniper on the perimeter
squad fills such a fucked thing to begin with why even bring shit you want to bring
It takes way too many menus and button presses to go from a death back to the game
>>560297246What you dont like being sniped and shotgunned by assassin triage recon teams while you're somehow on a team with two thieves?
>>560297280you literally spam spacebar, kill yourself retard
>>560297439bro i cant even enjoy parameter with free load outs because of sweat squads like that and i get 2 stooges who play likes friendly arc raiders matchmaker
