first for Vandal cock
this game improved a lot since alpha
>load into rook run with 11 minutes on the clock>useless-ass lobby STILL hasn’t gotten into pinwheelWhat the fuck are some of these people doing
>first new bit of content is about to come out>bungie is ALREADY trying their hardest to turn the game into destiny 2they can't fucking help themselves
>Release new content>Gate keep it from most of the player baseBut why tho?
inspirations for the art style from twatter
This game was so much fun, I'm actually seething that they're killing off the two best ways to play in favor of generic apex legends shit
>>560546084A common strat I keep seeing is teams will wait until the last 7 - 6 minutes until they open pinwheel up. Stops rooks from ganking you or waiting in ambush, and most teams doing the strat will just>run in>split up>hit the buttons to open command>run like hell>assassin and crew members with smoke nades on their team will smoke up the last room>everyone grabs whatever valuable shit they can stuff into their BP>bailno one brings thermals on outpost so smoke is actually stupid strong for exfilling and looting the wings when you just spam them en masse
>>560546350>>560546514Do you people genuinely believe most people are playing solos
>>560546680This is a good strat but god help you if no one has a red key on them, I’ve gotten fucked by exfils in the last five min of outpost more than once.
Please add fucking connecting tunnels in dire marsh
>>560546805Everything I've seen indicates that about 80-90% of players prefer solo. Trios is a lot less interesting, it's just a battle royale with a stash
>>560546981>Everything I've seen indicates that about 80-90% of players prefer solo. Absolutely zero chance this is the case lmao. I could see an argument for maybe 30-40% of players preferring solo at best but it’s absolutely less than half.
>>560546981Do you have a source for that
>>560547127nothing beyond random polls and comments on leddit and twitter
80% of solotards feels reasonable.Not even because solo is better but because people don't want to play with randoms and very few have actual friends to have a static party.
>>560547364>people don’t want to play with randomsI think you’d be shocked at how untrue that is.
>>560546948just use your limited consumable item that can't be bought in the shop bro HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>560547305These faggots also whined there wasn't enough pvp during server slam and Bungie in their infinite wisdom cranked up the map player count and gun volume
Thief's diapers.
>>560547453there are like three games in total that have managed to survive while making people meaningfully coordinate with randoms
>>560547680Most shooters force you to cooperate with randoms, it’s not unique.I play squad fill all the time and everyone uses mics.
Does anyone know what the lobby size for the different maps is for solos and trios? Half tempted to try and start "wiping" maps so I can loot risk free, would be nice to know
>>560547803most shooters have extremely low stakes and quick rounds, that's not what I meant by "meaningfully coordinate"
>>560547803Most shooters don't have your gear getting wiped if you get killed.
>>560547889perimeter is 5 squads, marsh is 6, outpost is 4no one knows what the count is for solos
>>560547924>>560547952Yes, but the issue here is that solo players are getting ganked by the omnipresent assassin sitting in a corner and that’s a lot less likely in trios, and in a game where the default is squad fill, you can bet your ass it’ll be like 70% trios. There’d be a far harder time finding games as Rook if the numbers were balanced the other way.
>>560547803>>560547924>>560547952Not that anon but here are my experience with randoms>Usually duo, so one random>that one random, 90% of the time, no exaggeration, just runs off on their own, and if they stay vaguely close to us they wander off during fights turning every encounter into 2v3>One time I queued into a fill solo by accident, as the game started both of the randoms literally darted in opposing directions and died in roughly a minute or soI can not imagine someone being stuck doing randoms/solo in this game, its an unbearable experience
>>560548189>the issue here is [completely different topic]k
>>560548213This only happens like every fifth game I have, vast majority of matches, my two randoms have mics and stay together.And a few times when they didn’t I’d just keep talking and they’d ping an acknowledgement. Did we still die? Yes, but very rarely do I ever get randos who just run off.
>>560548415you're going to be getting a whole lot more of them on cryo archive lol
>>560548306>the issue here is that people are more motivated to meaningfully coordinate if the other mode is full of rats that gank you with zero chance to fight backBetter?
>>560548547no having an incentive to do something is still completely irrelevant to whether or not that thing is actually enjoyable to most people
>>560548696the original topic was which has more players not which is more enjoyable
>>560548775maybe you should figure out how to follow a conversation on 4chan before posting
>>560548696It’s more enjoyable when people cooperate. People are motivated to cooperate due to the other mode being full of rats. If someone does not like cooperating then it is what it is, but the main point I’m making here is that there is simply no way solo players make up more than half the player base. Just simply not a chance.
>>560548943okay now what
reinstalled look at the shit i got broim a destroyer main now
>>560549108huh weird why did you hide the content of all the other posts lol. were you replying to the wrong posts this whole time or something?
>less than 8 seconds to last exfil>rook running for it>two assholes start shooting at the poor sodSeriously, what can rook do in 2 seconds at exfil?Should've tossed some 'nades at them.
>>560549173I’ve seen the gold keys but where’d you get the purple key?
>>560548962you are describing a formula that demonstrably kills video games and then saying that most people actually prefer it. good luck with that i guess, bungie is going to need it
>>560549353the first room that needs keys when you enter the center of the wheel
>>560549263The players were right to shoot at the rook, and the rook should have thrown a couple grenades at them. No one exfils, everyone dies.
>>560549216You’re a retard lmao
Rook should be the only solo option in tbe game and I’m tired of pretending it shouldn’t, I don’t care if you want to play it your way, Bungie designed this around trio groups and the Rook is an already decent compromise I am hereby petitioning Bungie and Sony to remove solo queue
>>560549748concession accepted
>>560549389>you are describing a formula that demonstrably kills video games and then saying that most people actually prefer it.I am saying that it does not demonstrably kill games and that for the vast majority of cases especially in BR games, squad fill is the preferred way to play, and is how these games stay popular.
>>560549583I sometimes wish there was an explosive vest or something in this game.
>>560549836I've never actually used frags, can you cook them?
>>560549835the vast majority of battle royale games were abject failures dude
>>560549902I dont think so. Would be nice though. Same with Heat grenades.
>>560549836Give rooks a portable hellbomb instead of a green backpack
>>560550030And do you think Fortnite, PUBG, Apex, Warzone, they succeeded because squad fill ISN’T the norm? Because if that’s not what you’re arguing then what you’re saying is pretty irrelevant.
>>560549173its so dumb that the m77 doesnt take optics.it will never beat the br for that reason, the irons are horrid
>>560550179I don't think their success had anything to do with squad fill being popular or unpopular. those are three games with first mover advantage and one game with massive brand appeal
The Rook adventures. Spoiler: we die.https://files.catbox.moe/b5d8fk.mp4
>>560550179>fortnitewas an early and decent f2p alternative to PUBG that people were disgruntled about>PUBGthe main game that blew up BRs as a genre>apexsimilar to fortnite but had EA money and respawn behind it>Warzoneit's fucking cod
>>560547889Pretty sure outpost is 8 for solos; I killed 2 people in a run and worked together with 3 other people so we could loot pinwheel. During the run we were attacked by 1 extra person who tried to kill us but he ran away, so that makes 7 total. I know bungie likes 7, but it's probably safe to assume it's a number like 8...Though maybe the person that ran away could have been one of the people I killed? So it's either 6 or 8. My money is on 8 just cause you always seem to spawn near one other person on outpost, and in processing you can sometimes bump into 2 other people from the get go- with a map size of 6 that'd be far less common than it usually is.
>Playing Trios on Fill>We all have blue shields>First team we come across all have purple shields and yellow gear>None of our weapons do anything to their shields and they all one shot us
maps need to be 3-4 times smaller, bot/AI numbers reduced by almost half and the number of players and teams tripled then this game might survive
>>560550392Also, no, I don't know why Steam Replay doesn't recall all the audio in this game.
>>560550048That would be absolutely hilarious.>at exfil>hear running>hear in open mic>allahu snackbar>dead>hear "GLA postal service. Nothing stops the mail"And then there are Donbas tactics...I wish there were actual anti-infantry mines, tripwires, and remote detonation charges. Shit would be so cash because no exfiltration point would be safe.>mines>more mines>tripwire>claymores>more mines>and a RC drone with 5 packs of C4 on itMint.
>>560550319I don’t disagree entirely, but I do think that squads are the main way people play these games, and while there’s obviously a ton of pre-made team, a big, big chunk of the people playing it are using squad fill. It’s just how the game is played for the most part.
>>560550485This is how I imagine the weekend before the wipe but I forget some people really just have all the time in the world to play vidya
>>560550519And then they need to add vehicles, a CTF game mode, and the blood gulch map
>destroyer>"le defensive class">better at offense than any other class>vandal>"le offensive class">better at running away than everyone else
>>560550538I think if nothing else, adding C4 charges would be fun. Would need to be blue rarity minimum though.
>>560550741Yeah, we're still two months out from reset and I'd say eight out of ten matches I do I encounter full maps filled with purple shields and yellow weapons.
>>560550519I agree but they should also make teams about 3 times larger and only have two of them per map, and add map objectives like flags you can capture or control points. and add respawns of course
>>560550604apex is the only one of those where squad fill is the norm desu, most people are not running fortnite with randoms they'll just play solos if their friends aren't on
>>560550519Here you go kinghttps://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Battle%20Royale/
>reward for contract is free kitWtf were they thinking?? I get this for free everytime I die???
>>560550604I would need to see some actual data to believe squad fill is the dominant way to play all of those games. My guess would be it's mostly premades or solos
>>560551027what hes asking for is more like tdmso halo.
>>560551067I mean that's standard?
>>560550923>most people are not running fortnite with randomsThere are so many goddamn people playing Fortnite, I’m pretty sure most people are doing exactly that. Full disclosure though, I cannot find any evidence one way or another. If I saw real numbers that squad fill isn’t the most popular way to play then I’ll gladly concede but I just can’t find any proof. My view is that people are going to play the default mode with default options, which is squads with fill.
>>560551250>tdmUnreal Tournament. You cannot beat classic.
>>560550803The best defense is offense
>>560551067it's a holdover from when the free kits were once a day
Why is it that Marathon is such a casual filter? Counter-Strike, Valorant, even CoD on HCmode ... those are all far more hostile to noobs, but they have massive player bases. What is it about Marathon that exposes casuals and makes them seethe? Are these the same people who hide from competitive shooters but are drawn to Marathon because of Bungie? Is it exposing Destiny players for being absolute casuals? Is it the Destiny fans trying to get into Marathon and getting sexually violated for being so casual? Marathon isn't the first hardcore extraction shooter. You could argue it's the best-looking one. Maybe that's the problem. It's attractive to people, but it's the most attractive competitive extraction shooter ever made.
>>560551491this but unironically>start match, go to poi, start looting, maybe kill some AI because you have to (and alert the entire map doing so)>get jumped on by team and insta wipedvs>rush towards enemies off spawn>catch them off guard >free loot 2 mins into raid
>full squad calls a guarded exfil>i sneak in as a signal masked Rook and yoink it>got to spectate them walking into clays i left around the sitei love marathon
>>560550289I’d be more mad if the m77 optic wasn’t great, but it is.
>>560551545CS, Quake, Valorant, etc are all purely pvp games. Everyone is on the same page there.Marathon is a shittractor which means it's a shitty mess of pve and pvp and looting and fast gameplay but also slow gameplay.
>>560551250Rook is great because with how instant the matchmaking is and how quick I can get back into action at outpost it almost feels like I’m playing tdm
>>560551545Destiny is one of the most carebear games ever and the uncs who remembered playing Halo 3 or even Reach have had their neurons depolarized by alcoholism and porn so can only have a snail's reaction speed
>>560551545Something about this game is just not attractive to people under the age of like 28 and I'm not sure what it is
>Halo copied Unreal>Destiny copied WoW>Marathon copied TarkovOni remake will copy what?
>>560551545As someone who's a femboomer and being that Marathon has been my first PvP game ever outside of PvP on regular games like Halo and Destiny -- Bungies crowd prior to this have all been predominately PvE based so of course it's going to attract people who've played games that have those kinds of backgrounds.Right now I'm Level 58 and from previous PvP games my K/D is around 0.1 to 0.8 (on a good month) and my biggest problem is how quickly I die when I start a match. I don't care that I die and lose, it's just that it's almost always 30ish to 50ish seconds into a game. I spend more time on loading screens into matches than I do in said match.That's my only gripe.
>>560551838I think this is why Marathon is so hated. The uncs thought the game would cater to them, they feel rejected because their daddy didn't deliver another slow paced game for them.
>>560551716??? the inbuilt optic reduces your rpm effectively cucking you against guns like the BR33.
>>560551801It is nice to die in pinwheel, load back in and be back inside pinwheel within another three minutes, fully aware I’m probably going to die again.
>>560552003There's no point in giving a shit about your k/d the real value is how much you have by the end of it all.
>>560551067it's a shitty reward but it's not entirely useless since the kit sponsor only refreshes daily, it can come in handy if you need bonus xp with the faction or if you just really hate the daily kit gun (FUCK traxus). would never waste vault space on saving it though
>>560552002sekiro
>>560552038I didn’t know this actually, but I’m still taking it over the Overrun
>>560552003>it's almost always 30ish to 50ish seconds into a gameset your goal to "survive as long as possible" instead of "get kills and loot and exfil" and you'll learn how to stay alive. seriously, give up on winning and try learning how to move around instead. it's hard to do but you won't get better by bashing your head against the wall and hoping it breaks. let yourself feel uncomfortable for a few rounds and soak it in and you'll improve.
>>560546201>>560546514What the fuck are you guys talking about.
>>560552314cryo archive being locked to trios only with no rooks
>>560552143Plus if you’re grinding the free loadout skins it’s great. Speaking of, really enjoying how certain sponsored skins just look better on certain shells. Running MIDA Recon, NuCal Triage, and Traxus Destroyer.
>>560552313I don't even want to exfil, I just want to play it like I would Metal Gear Solid series but for the past few days when I have time to play its felt like a Battle Royale.
I wouldn't really call it gatekeeping content when it literally just requires you to do the contact contracts and hit level 25. It's not like they're forcing you to hunt for the golden ticket.
>>560552423That's because those absolute faggots on reddit whined that there wasn't enough pvp so Bungie absolutely cranked the gun volume and put more teams per map
if i see free kits while i load into outpost im leaving alone
>>560552423>just want to play it like MGSPeople have mentioned it already I think but man Rook runs feel like the best stealth game I’ve played in years sometimes.
>>560551838I have to agree on all points. I imagine a bulk of the seethe coming from people with fat hands and guts that fall over the waistline of their sweatpants. >I'm just trying to have a good timeYou chose alcohol and fatness already. The party is over.
>>560552404oh come on it's the endgame map no shit you're supposed to load in with a team. They aren't "killing" anything just do your solo runs on Outpost and be happy.Or make friends. It ain't hard to mic up with randoms and be nice, help them on their quests, and play with them next time they're on.
rooks runs on outpost
>>560552684did your drunk dad rape you or something? people aren't playing this game blacked out
>>560552684Im just having fun fags are the worst. Go have fun playing bejeweled on your phone retard there is a skill floor you need to be on to play shit like this go fag up fortnite solos if you want fun
>>560552572>load up in blues for post>two Grey thieves>they start shooting botsHoo boi
Vandal offering her teammates a blowie in exchange for their good loot
The turrets are the most obnoxious thing in the game to be perfectly honest. Also how come sometimes UESC will hear you sprinting above them or opening a door but other times they are completely lobotomized?
>>560552684you really showed that strawman who's boss bro
>>560552748>They aren't "killing" anythingexcept the whole game. ask yourself why someone would play marathon when the endgame is just apex legends but you can lose hours of progress to rats
>>560552978I think highter tier bots are more reactive to noise but I could be wrong
roflwaffles is about to be on the case again, remember to thank the br*tish for unlocking cryo every person I've seen working on it is from ingerland
>>560552990Because it feels a lot better to shoot someone in marathon compared to Apex.
>>560553173Lol thats a damn lie
>>560553105Maybe that's it, idk
>you take your cryo key, best meds, best purple armor and weapons, actual build with implants>2 free kits are your randomswhat are you going to do then
>>560553173good luck selling the normgroid audience you're pursuing to on that
>>560553309Let them take point and abandon them at the first sign of peril.
>>560551545The problem is that the learning curve feels punishing instead of rewarding.Why shoud i learn to play your game if its shit?Only to lose my gear without the opportunity the even get acustomed with my loadout?Like realtalk, the game has all this buildcrafting shit, but whenever i skinned someone its basicly uncohesive upgrades thrown together.Why woud i get into craftbuilding when i inevitably lose it all to some thermal scope snipper and right wing death squads while im stuck with freekit billy?I can only have fun on freekits, and i just sell every weapon and upgrade i exfill with now.Better sold than lost.This completely disencentivices the core gameplay.Then i noticed, i woud have way more fun playing any other shooter.Then i remembered i dont even like shooters in the first place and only bought marathon because of scifi, art, lore and trippy visuals.

>>560552990>he actually believes cryo is going to be pvpIt's not, it's going to literally be just a destiny raid with a marathon reskin you dunce
>>560553472>they both slap your ass and run off in two opposite directionsyour response?
>>560551545>Counter-Strike, Valorant, even CoD on HCmodeNone of these games have any real consequences for losing; a casual can throw a round and still feel like he had fun because he got a couple kills. In Marathon, losing *literally* means losing all your shit, and most people just aren't built to handle that pressure.
>>560553564Rat for 5 minutes then exfil. See ya nerds.
>>560553548that is both obviously not the case and also would not be an improvement
>>560552976Trans Vandal > Diaper Thief
>>560552990>to ratsto any dog with a WSTR actually
Shields feel weirdly balanced. The jump from green to blue is barely noticeable, but the jump from blue to purple is gamechanging.
the idea of vandal being an MTF runner in a female shell is lowkey kinda turning me on bros
cryo will be pvp because people have been trained for pvptheres barely any cooperation at all
>>560553872nothing wrong with that, vandal being a tranny is hot as fuck, especially if they are sluts
>they haven't said if Cryo will be PvP or PvE>people still speaking with any assurance either way
>>560554162this general in a nutshell
>>560553493Yeah, as someone who isn't the target audience and only sticking around for the same reasons; its so weird to advertise builds and all this other crap when you cant even find it, and, if you do, you lose it almost instantly if you aren't already extremely good at the game (and games like it). On top of all of that, most shells kits require one to two minutes to even be able to use their kits and like I said in a previous post, most of my games never last one to two minutes because nine out of ten times another team with all purple and or yellow shields and gear come rushing to us at spawn and instantly down us.I can't even learn what I'm doing wrong to begin with because matches end to quickly for me to even comprehend what happened and how to improve upon it when I just get sniped three meters from spawn.Like, I know I'm in the minority and the niche with this issue and situation and I know most people will say "then dont play" I actually do like playing this game; I don't care about constantly losing but I can't even last long enough to even just vibe
>>560553493I have 90 hours in so far. Buildcrafting becomes rote when you unlock enough cores and implants from the armory. You generally understand what your baseline build preference is, and it becomes very accessible. The builds you idealize are always going to be the most risky to play with, but once you see the implants and cores enough times, you're able to make snap judgements about how you'll play with and without them. I find that it makes me a better player all around to have this limbo effect. Even when I'm kitted to the gills, I don't suffer from overconfidence due to my time without the kit.
which banner background and emblem combo are the most likely to raise a red flag when you match with randos?
>>560554162it will be the same as any other map, except longer and with more puzzles and a boss.I dont see it being any other way. a PVE map would just be free farm.odds are the boss room will be closed tho so you cant get thirded while doing it.
>>560554162>They've used the word raid and have said vault of glass experience repeatedly>thinking people will keep playing if it turns out that the raid bungie keeps touting as this be all end all will be pvp only
They need to seriously change free kitsThis shit killed apex for me and its such a load of shit here too. There should not be infinite free kits from the armoury you can just endlessly churn out, it changes how people play completely.
>>560554325I feel like you’d genuinely benefit from just going on either the official discord or the /vg/ discord and grouping up with some anons
>>560554494they are all rather uninteresting sadly.not even the titles are worth getting either.the only cool thing are runner shells and they are actually a bit too easy to unlock
final boss on Cryo will be the Durandal pink cat
>>560554325>most of my games never last one to two minutes because nine out of ten times another team with all purple and or yellow shields and gear come rushing to us at spawn and instantly down usthis should not be a common occurrence, yeah it happens sometimes but even in outpost getting spawnkilled is not the norm. are you shooting at every uesc you see? are you looting pois without paying attention to the surroundings? you're either doing something wrong or you're incredibly unlucky
>>560554494Arachne banner is a surefire shitter mark
>>560554648I think maybe three a day or something is fine. Rook is such an excellent way to collect loot that free kits just aren’t nearly as useful.
>>560554648I kind of agree, it ironically has ruined casual solo-fills. You should have to nut up something to do contracts, they can even make consumables and gray guns more common to offset it. Then instead of gray kits give away one deluxe kit a day
>>560554648>>560554818nice try nona but i'm not bringing my own gear for your bdsm punishment contracts, now put the volt thrower in the fucking box
Yet another failed venture
>>560554807But it looks cool!
>>560554784>this should not be a common occurrenceIt's not a common occurence at all, he's blatantly making shit up to try and force a narrative. He's been doing it nonstop in these generals since release.
>>560554648as opposed to scooping up a bunch of guns as rook and then playing with exactly one grey gun and one stack of ammo? obviously people are going to have a lot of times when they want to minimize their risk no matter what
i wish i was good enough to wipe solo lobbies so i can do the pve :(
>>560554975>Runner, we need to gather data on the most effective way to deepthroat a WSTR, you also need to take your gold marathon key with you into the match
I could easily buy Marathon, but I won't because it's dogshit. Break 100k players concurrent and I'll immediately buy Marathon and bring back my peak high elo D2 PVP ass to expunge with the sweats.
>>560555191this is literally the poorest most impoverished post i have ever seen anyone make on 4chan
>>560555017I want you to take a deep breath, close this general for once in your life, and spend the rest of your day in peace without trying to defend this game 24/7
>>560555017Meds, schizo
>>560554648>>560554818You say that now, till your forced to play with some poor soul that has not even enough credits to buy the free green shield and die to poison mushrooms for their lack of heals, or they have to knife down tick nests.I will go even further and say they should just do a TDM Mode with the highgrade sponsored kits as a basis.I dont want to be a MMO-mob loot-piniata for streamers and dedicated trios.I just want to shoot people or enjoy the atmosphere and kill some bots.

this game is like a dominatrix, its good that its so bad for you, i love itplaying destroyer though, best shell>>560555582that aint me, this was me>>560549173

>>560553493>>560554325>>560554335Builds aren't even really that complicated either.I don't know if it's good or bad but you only have to look for gear with two to three stats and if they don't have those then they're useless>Agility>Melee Damage>Ability Cooldown (one is called Prime and the other Tactical but due to how vastly different these two are from shell to shell you just want to focus on the one you think is going to help you the most)>Heat Capand then far below is>Fall ResistanceAll the other implant stats are useless unless you're playing Triage and things related to healing or reviving players. All the resistances and even Heat Cap can be passively upgraded through the Faction Talent Trees so even then most of the recommended stats aren't really that important outside Melee honestly.Then for Class Specific Cores and more specifically blue and green ones; these are just off the top of my head>ThiefBoutique, Keen Eye, Case the Joint>DestroyerBombardier with Bombing Run (two cores) are an insane combo for him and giving him a fast firing weapon triggers his missiles faster (melee instantly fires them too btw)>ReconPredator, Cluster Payload, (The core that lets your Spider Drone track for longer distances)>AssassinGuerrilla Finally if you suck at aiming always prioritize Aim Assist>Lower Recoil for weapon mods and for Weapon Chip Mods there's literally only three or four good ones. Sucker Punch for Shotguns or Stack Overflow. Torch Bug for mostly mid-range weapons like SMGs or Mid to Long Range like the BR as well as Swarm Directive and my all time favorite for most of the guns is Circuit Breaker.Don't sleep on Claymores or Trap Bags; place Trap Bags where any dead bodies are and make sure you place claymores where there's always a indention and when you get to know maps place them where you know lockboxes spawn (the ones that load to open and make a blaring noise) place Claymores in indented locations makes them harder to see.
I want to figure out a way to have sex with Thief even though she doesn't have any genitalia. A blowjob may be the only way.
>>560555026>ban freekits>people just start queuing up with a 50 credit punch, no ammo, and no healsfreekits are fine, the actual solution is to have a brief window before loading in where you see what the squad is bringing and can change your loadout. whenever i bring gear i get matched with two freekitters, but whenever i bring a freekit i get matched with 2 guys who brought gear. now i just bring a freekit to minimize risk but i'd happily bring better shit if i knew the other guys were risking shit too
>>560555268Yet I'm literally the paypiggy these games want, cope elsewhere. If this game is actually good it'll break 100k on Cryo Archive.>>560555414>Bleak Faith not on sale>Tainted Grail not on sale>Blasphemous 2 not on sale>Nier Automata too expensiveSigh
>>560555979Thief is for face fucking and Vandal is for cock sucking. Those are you only options.
>>560555869>(melee instantly fires them too btw)Goddammit really? Now I need to find that Myrmidon core with a knife fight implant so I can try the melee only build again.
>>560555869>Bombardier with Bombing Run (two cores)Wait, cores stack?
Imagine cleaning Thief's diapers...
>>560554784No, however, because I have no friends most of my fill teammates, especially from Playstation for some fucking reason shoot everything they see insight. The worse offender of this occurance is on Dire Marsh and when you load around those... Boarder Patrol gates thats close to Alage? You can sometimes get four teams that will just spawn all in that area and its a death match in the matter of seconds. On Perimeter this mostly happens on a very specific spot for some reason where people are loading in and you can't move and you can see a somewhat large puddle and two Ghost Commanders are on patrol - you cant move but they can kill your entire team. I have the best luck in Outpost believe it or not but for some FUCKING reason there's one spawn where you are next to the warehouses next to the shoreline and FORWHATEVER reason people think they can make this jump around the warehouses, fall into the water, die and then fully disconnect.
>>560554675I disagree. These are my fav banners so far.
>>560555979Why did the artist make her looks like britany venti here?
>>560556156Never mind. I'm retarded and dude weeding.
GOOK frame online
Man imagine if this game somehow giga-flopped like an actual Concord tier failure and there was just nobody around to do this shit. I know I certainly wouldn't be able to.
>>560555991>the actual solution is to have a brief window before loading in where you see what the squad is bringing and can change your loadout.Agreed Jesus ChristYou need like a minute timer to switch some shit around in case everyone’s bringing free kits or if you’re running a team of all thieves or some shit.
>>560555991Or just only get matched with freekits if you fill, and if the queue is too long than just match with one or by yourself. You really have no right to complain in that case, it seems like a win win. Then the strategy goes from "maybe someone will carry me" to "ok guys let's be annoying little fuckers to survive". Basically a middle ground between rooks and people actually loading out
Destroyer with blue shields and purple guns just gives me confidence. Hyper aggressive. I seriously loved that team I got, on some arma shit
I will be freekitting on cryo archive with voice chat off and there's nothing you can do about it
>>560556418I'm kinda holding my breath to see what happens.It's worrying or maybe... weird? Maybe confusing? Bungie has asked reviewers to wait until Cryo comes out and we've been having back to back ARGs since before release that barely any people do (most PvPers couldn't give a shit less about this stuff) and then Cryo itself is suppose to be "end-game" but most reviewers and most players or whoevers left thats not a super sweat probaBly wont see much of Cryo/Marathon if everything requires keys to get into.
>>560556549I'm guessing you don't have a gold marathon key.
>>560556628it's sounding like you won't need a key just to get into the map which is a good choice, effectively gating a quarter of your content behind something the average player won't be able to achieve is suicidal
>>560556179The CyberAcme one from your image, Silkworm SekiGuchi are by far my favorite with the newspaper one with the eye is a close second.
I'll be a loot goblin on Cyro and there's nothing you can do to stop me
>>560556659of course not, you don't need them to queue. i will simply let other people open doors for me
3 runs so far today using actual gear.All ended in the same way with some guy jumping me or waiting for me in a corner. 3 minutes queue -> 3 minutes of running around -> dead.This whole genre is completely next level. I still have no idea what kind of subhumans are the target audience for this.
>>560556805Zoomers with ADHD and way too much free time.
>>560556805clear your angles
>>560556805meanwhile I'm wondering what you guys are doing to constantly be getting ambushed. feels like the only times I get killed by someone I didn't know was there is when I'm just mindlessly rushing to a contract objective or otherwise being deliberately risky
>>560556805In solos and rook runs if you don’t feel like a fucking slime ball after exfiling you’re not playing correctly.
>>560555869Thank you for that textwall, but again, why woud i go through the trouble of looting shit, just to find this stuff and getting ackd a second later.Its like you wrote down how ro synthesize black materia, but 3 out 5 ingredients arent even discovered yet, so this information seems trivial.I just hope someone like you will drag me through pinwheel and Cryo Archive, so i can be done with the game.
>>560556805It's a game where you actually have to be good, as someone who sucks I really enjoy it honestly it feels like an actual game and not a way to zone out for an hour
>zoomers>playing extraction shooters
I will be getting my throat and guts rearranged by futa Recon and futa Vandal on Cryo
>>560556765I'm pretty sure those keys only allow the owners to their respective loot. You will get onboard the marathon, but you will not be getting their special loot.
>>560557128Yeah, I'm here.t. 24
>>560555026Guns are not hard to get. Equipment is not hard to get.The issue is people in matches arent taking the whole "risk your gear" thing seriously because they arent risking any gear and just live on free kits.Which is fine if its your enemy. But when its your teammate spawning in with one gun and no shields, its a fucking burden while you're risking your gear.
>>560557131>I'm pretty sure those keys arbitrarily work differently than every other key in the gameseems unlikely but if you want to pick my items up and then deliver them to me at exfil that works too
>>560555869You can place trapbags directly over real bags. I was able to do this last night. If you line up your placement correctly, the trap bag mesh will insert directly over a real bag to the point where it's indistinguishable from one distinct bag.
>guys they aren't adding a duos queue are you retarded they're gonna fracture the playerba-ACK!
>>560557128I'm almost 30 unc zoomers are old now
>>560557329Actually based that they're willing to try stuff
>>560557329well that's a nice little dose of hopium for solo queue cryo archive
>>560555339>You say that now, till your forced to play with some poor soul that has not even enough credits to buy the free green shield and die to poison mushrooms for their lack of heals, or they have to knife down tick nestsThats.... literally what Im saying anon.Freekits suck for solo / fill queue because you get people on your team using freekits while you arent.Free kits should be extremely limited and you should only filled into squads with players matching your loadout
>>560557067Most of the items I mentioned, specifically weapon mods and mod chips can be found rather easily and green cores as well.Once you get a few levels in Sekiguchi you can simply buy some basic cores or buying green sponsor kits also give you a set of cores as well but yeah I understand those feelings well.Make sure you track the gun mod chips too, so you don't have to sit Ina container longer than you need
>>560557128I'm turning 26 in two weeks
>>560557051So your options are>Rat for 10 minutes and knife some fag that didnt see you coming>be the fag that runs around for 10 minutes, filling the pinata for your designated rat and doing contracts while flinching to every sound you hear, only to ultimately get stabbed by suspect 1 on exfill.I miss the times when games used to be fun and we laughed at the retards that actually bought the horse armor.
>>560545764oops, forgot to add the best ttk spreadsheet.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uBZiShiWBBsAE3WK6W4IIti7-VPQEmMcV92ZONu_pY8/edit?usp=sharing
>>560557329How about this: 5 runner teams + Rook duos.
>>560557286I say this as someone who only ever uses white kits because I'm always broke or lack items because I can never exfilThey need to make it so White Kits only fill with other White Kits or have a queue only they can be in akin to Rook.I feel miserable loading into a fill trio and someone's bring in good gear
>>560557185>>560557578We’re putting you both in chains and dragging you through the streets btw
>>560556805>3 minutes of running aroundrunning around is loudif you are running around inside a poi, anyone in the same poi knows you're therethose guys aren't sitting in a corner waiting for anyone to come over, they're waiting for (You) to come over because your footsteps told them you'd be on the wayjust play slower. it's fine to run between pois, it's even fine to run in pois you know are empty, but if you're approaching a location then you need to be quiet and scout around for signs of activityif you want to bring in gear but don't want to stress as much then just do fills, even if you get freekitters they're still warm bodies who can rez you
>>560557610or just have some basic situational awareness. i dont think ive ever been killed at exfil because i just pop a recon scan before turning it on or throw a smoke grenade during the countdown
>>560557128What's the point of this? Extraction shooters didn't become mainstream until 2016. Millennials were in their mid 20s, and zoomers were teenagers. Both demographics play extraction shooters.
>>560557610What if you just do your quest and get some good stuff and win the pvp and exfil
>>560557772Then it's just a fucking crouching simulator and even then you can still easily hear people who move couched.
>>560557463Maybe take the freekit pill too then?Just sell the stuff in your vault, someone woud have taken it from you anyway.

>>560559135>Why did they not make it a single-player horror ImmSim, with multiplayer attached?That was the original idea. You would explore the marathon as an instance like an mmo with a bunch of other people and it would naturally evolve the more you and people progressed through the marathon. Like a dungeon crawler where you and other people unlock doors to go deeper in the dungeon. It would even show who unlocked the new areas when you went through the new passages

>>560559691i could easily believe that humans in the marathon setting are way beyond sex and prefer to just hook their dopamine receptors up to the stock exchange or your bloodsport of chioce
In Solos, is sprinting around all the time actually not a good idea? I also don't like moving around with my knife out. I honestly just run when I am outside and inside I am normally just standing walking around.
Finally managed to get some blues from a cache and decided to exfil early. Everything looks chill, the exfil is ready, I put the smoke down and wait knife out. Suddenly a stealthed assassin jumps in, I manage to right click him and then I get shotgunned instantly.I'm just not sure what the design philosophy of this game is to be honest my sisters.

I'm hearing more and more people with an american accent in EU.Queue times becoming a bit too long so they start filling lobbies with cross region people?
>>560563080sometimes i forget just how cringe reddit is and then images like this remind me
>>560564784In this case it's non-survivorship bias
I haven't soon troonbus once
>>560564619alright buddy keep an eye on those charts for me im sure your dream will come true soon
>>560564359THE BUNGULATOR
>>560565061it will
Lost all my weapons and bags since I started using actual loadouts instead of bumrushing freekits. And I only have 12k credits left.I guess it's back to being fodder again. It's not like things were much different with proper loadouts.
>>560565061It took an entire month for bungie to announce more layoffs after the final shape failed to meet expectations. A dlc that cost less that marathon to make didn't break profit margins despite being the 3rd most sold destiny expansion.It's simple math dude
It should've been a single player campaign
>>560564359I want to nut in this nut
>>560565275I fucked her
They should have written explicitely that the game is only pvp for pre-made trios only.
>>560565249Unfortunately, we're stuck with the current flavor of the month genre, extraction shooter! YAYYY!
>>560565367i don't play trios and I'm level 46
Wait all weapons are grey, their color rarity just depends on attachments?
>>560565402Guess what no cryo archive for you no compiler for you no quarter of the game for u
>>560565519YesBut some weapons are still more expensive than others
>>560565519Yes. That's why I get every blue + attachment I find. I've crafted more blue weapons than I've found.
'ate LMGs'ate Pistols'ate Snipersluv me ARsluv me SMGsluv me ShottiesSimple as.
>>560564016>>560564442PvE or they are going bust. This game is not going to last even 6 months.
Unlocked blue shields and am now winning most of my fights, insane how game changing this is.
>cryo archive would have been the first time the game could have actual emergent player interaction in solos by outright necessitating some form of co-operation to complete, like they tried to pretend would actually ever happen in the game with that embarrassing scripted peanut stream>nah let's just disable solo altogether LOL
>NOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO LET ME LEACH THE ENDGAME CONTENT Not this time solokeks lmao
>>560565982wouldn't be bungie if they weren't making the most retarded choices possible
P v Ev vE E...or EoS.
how do I get more/consistent drops of those blue bar things you use to buy blue keyssays they drop from UESC and supply drops but barely ever do
>>560566090They are literally encouraging leeching. Everybody who would have been solo will now be joining your team with a free kit and no communication. Enjoy
>>560566090I'm not even a solokek I just find bungo's terminal retardation really, really funny
>>560565859>>560566141If this game is doing about as well or better a year from now, will you eat crow on this one or find a new goalpost?
3 minute queue3 minute of walking towards the objectivedierince and repeati'm having it
>>560566235Then I will simply not open up the key rooms and wait in a corner until exfils spawn.
>trannies all rush hauler because reddit told them to>I get overflow to myself because I'm straight and whiteFeels good bros.
>>560565858Simple as.
>>560565982The fact they're just to sell it as essentially a raid is going to be grand, any of the mechanics in this are going to be the most simple shit you could possibly imagine considering you are on a strict timer with a bunch of other teams trying to kill you on top of it.Normally the timer wouldn't matter if you look at destiny contest timers but marathon has the added benefit of losing gear if you dont complete it. I'm calling it right now that any raid based maps are going to be deadzones after the honeymoon phase of them is over, people are not going to bother with doing mechanical things for loot that will reset in a couple of months or dying to players before, during, or after theyre finished with it.
>>560566369Enjoy your poop bags
>>560566362sounds like a blast. aren't you glad bungie is making the game work like this
>>560563145they have a penis (Feminine)
>>560566351>dieFound your problem
>>560566143that's the neat part, you don't
I hate to say this but the reason why Destiny 2 is still alive is because of the hardcore/sweats player base. Not because of casuals.So, Bungie catering to that crowd with Marathon does make some sense.
Sorry incels, I have a job and a life so $40 is nothing to me and it gave me the unequivocal right to solo fill with frees. You will continue to carry me and there's nothing you can do about it but make sure your as high a level as possible
>>560566847destiny 2 is alive because of whales and addictive dark patterns. everybody who plays the game transparently despises it
>>560566847LmaoLol, even
>>560566249Define "eat crow". If this game is in objectively better state in one year from now, yes, i will admit to being a shithead. However, do you actually expect, given current trends in vidya industry, for such an improvement to happen? I do not. There is a very clear way to improve this game while they work on more things/content for it, yet they seem to be quite ignorant.I dont see myself playing this in season 2.
>used to play a lot of tarkov>Crippling gear fear>15 hours into Marton>Use the best shit I've got, lose it, don't careI know they're just blues and greens or whatever but somehow this game just gives me zero fear.
>>560567353Game is designed around that more than anything.It's very easy-come-easy-go with gear
Yeah it's fucking over.Solo queues are getting longer than the game itself.
>>560567353Once you've got your factions levelled up the game showers you with free blue shit, it essentially becomes the new baseline.
>>560566721they dont drop from specific bots more often?or maybe the supply drops on outpost give better rewards as they require keys?
>>560567670They drop more often from highter tier bots as you'd imagine. You basically need to just run as many UESC map events like Lockdown and Wardens as you can.
Rat bros report in>How much have you ratted today?>What is your best find so far?
Question for /mg/I've almost always have played PvE games and rarely any PvP related games; what practices should I be doing to help improve myself with Marathon? I have played FPS before but they're always PvE related like Borderlands, The Outerwilds, Destiny 2, and things like that.I was recommended this site.https://www.xbitlabs.com/mouse-accuracy-test/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9N0IMV8Qv8What now?
>>560567975You don't have to be TOO precise in your aim in this game because the aim assist is quite generous. Aim training can help, but most fights in this game are decided by positioning. It's really a matter of thinking about what your opponent is probably going to do and playing around that.
>>560567975I recommend reading these firsthttps://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Portals/207/Docs/TBS/B2F0327%20Rifle%20Squad%20Tactics.pdfhttps://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Portals/207/Docs/TBS/B4R5379%20Urban%20Ops%20II%20Offense%20and%20Defense%20Operations.pdfMarathon is mainly positioning over aim. If you really want to go that route tho just download aimlabs
>>560568054we addicted
i just fucking realized that 'depleted' heals and shields actually restore hp and shieldi thought they were garbage drops that you're supposed to sell if you havent found anything more useful
Shoot clueless dude 30 meters away in the back with an AR. He instantly turns in my direction and trishots me with a Punch.
haters btfo...
>>560567975Play the fucking game bitch nigga this ain't Valorant.Tactics & Game sense > AimAlways.
>>560568292punch doesn't tri shot at 30 meters anonit has a 21m range stat
>>560568292>using anything but the punch, longshot or WSTRplay the meta or get farmed kid
>>560568461What about volt thrower and bully
>>560567975If you’re running trios, ping shit. Doesn’t matter if everyone has a mic, or if you feel like it’s annoying. Ping bots, ping good loot you’re not grabbing, and for the love of god ping runners.
I only do random fill trios, do you think I'll be able to do cryo?
>>560568461I use what I have and what I had was a SCAR.
This game looks like utter shit. I am so fucking glad I dodged this bullet. >anons lamenting Marathon lacks a queue and it will be limited time activeHoly fucking shit its the end! Did High Guard refund you? Kek, probably not.
>>560568530Yeah, just carry them
>>560568565Take your meds anon, your schizo is leaking
>>560568247you gotta spam those, they don't sell for anything lol
I just heard a rumor that Cryo Archive has no matchmaking, period. Meaning you have to LFG for it like it's some whack Destiny 2 raid.Can someone confirm this as fake? Because if it's true I'm going to be frank, this game and Bungie genuinely, actually deserves to die. I've actually been one of the defenders even though I've been having a miserable time due to the matchmaking since post level 20. But that's my limit.
I had to switch to assassin from destroyer to solo que trios. Wow he's busted lmao I smoked some shitheads in a room and calmly knifed them to death and then I evaded every 3rd party with that smoke dive
>>560568636you can load into squad fill trios but there's no solos or rook
Shouldn't Schemas for items be cheaper than buying from the Vendors directly? Like I have a self-revive schema but it still costs 500 credits just like the permanent unlock does.
Off brand NuCal products got my stomach sounding like alien technology from 6 billion years in the future. Cybernetic baddie in my head reading me words of affirmation like I didnt just slime out a random runner a mile down the road. Im a dog. Im sipping tick milk from the sorce fuck boa. AHHHHHHH Double WSTR loadout got me moving technological. Ready to blow the neural network smoove off the next runner i see. I have no character.
>>560568547then accept your place as fodder for your superiors
>>560568636They're using us to beta test the game
>>560568520all of this. and drop health packs for damaged teammates, ping objectives to give them something to focus on. pinging feels like it's annoying until you do it a lot and notice people want something to direct themselves towards.
>>560567953Got the volley rifle yellow mod that makes it more battle rifle hipfire on the go friendly . It’s not bad
>>560568054Not caring, because most of it is all paid reviews.
>>560567456i've found trio fills are actually more fun than solo... -1 for the solo queue...
Did anyone actually have a problem doing this quest?
>>560567456solos have always been longer queue than triospeople are scared to play the game by themselves. also some contracts are really hard by yourself especially in like a free kit or half slapped together green shit
>>560569030i played with a friend and i think we finished it our first try, tho it was pretty hairy.
>solos make up at an absolute minimum half the playerbase, more likely 60-70% going by stats and polls>the most hyped map in the game and an entire 1/4th of the content is flatly inaccessible to solosI hope the backlash and mass quitting (already happening due to people being fully geared week 2 into the wipe and effortlessly killing whole lobbies) kills Bungie.
When is the update that reverts the gunshot sounds
>>560569030no, you're reposting a title of a website where writers act mad about things so people will share their articles
>>560568778Very nice
>>560569030I did it first try and I didn't even realize it was draining my health for like 5 minutes. It was like my 2nd time on outpost and I thought I was doing something wrong kek
Every raid is just turning into all shotguns, whoever gets the jump wins
>>560569030Any Priority Contract related to this thing.
>>560568827No shit, this game is a literal early access title being paraded as a full release keep up.
>>560567975There is so much fucking AA in this game and guns shoot in straight lines with no bullet drop you don’t need this bullshit when your hand is held so hard . I swear I have never met a more cucked generation of people playing FPS
>>560569194don't you have friends?
>>560569030I got it second try just rushing it with random trios, nucal is unironically harder
I'm trans and I dislike Bungie and am not having fun in Marathon, is this a narrative violation?
what's with the queues on solo
>>560569301>Replace the guns with projectile based guns>game improves
>>560569268that and sniping on top of the tallest building they can find
>>560569030It took me three tries I think. Funnily enough it lead to the one singular friendly interaction I've had with another opposing player in 30 hours of playtime.
The TRUTHWORM.exe codex entry just contains this image.
>>560568636What do you mean? You don't love having to go to random secondary websites or using faggy apps like Discord just to play your game?
>>560569194>solos make up at an absolute minimum half the playerbase, more likely 60-70% going by stats and pollsLmao
>>560569624It's flatly true, and only going to get worse due to the absolute dominance of premade trios driving normies trying to use groupfill out.
>>560569624If you think that's funny, try asking him to provide a source. He'll just link you to a reddit post (that may or may not have been posted by him anyway)
>>560569436That would be the case with ever FPS ever released though
>>560569030I finished this without even thinking. People are filtered by this?
is /mg/ an antisolo or prosolo community?
>>560569813>it’s flatly trueIt’s not true in any extraction shooter, why would it be true here
>Team-mate A is looting in another room in the building where the rest of us have no line of sight on him>somehow gets snuck up on by an entire enemy team and gets instadeleted>I back into team-mate B and hold an angle>I get out-dps'd by two people shooting me at once and get instadeleted>Team-mate B dies in the 1v3This is pretty much how every match plays out with me and team-mate B being interchangable - if it isn't just us immediately wiping by spawning between two other teams. Idk what to do really. Is it normal to just never leave the same room as your team-mates? Is that the way you're supposed to play, just be joined at the hip at all times? Is that what other people are doing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9N0IMV8Qv8oh no no NO>things are so fucking bad that Bungie is relying on putting a peanut quote in their official accolades video
>passionfruitnyooooooo
>>560570093ideally youd be covering each other and creeping around but yeah doing fill/trios feels like a waste of time for the reasons you described
>>560570093The best way around that would be to have one person taking up watch at a vantage point while the others are looting to make sure you spot any approaching teams. The problem with that though is that if you're playing with randoms it's going to be you relegated to that bitch role every time while your fill mates suck up all the loot.
>>560570093I would personally not put yourself in a position where one guy holding down the trigger can kill both of you without moving his sights.
>>560569946I have better success in solos, its the only way I'm actually able to complete half the contracts I've done, trios are fun though when you wipe multiple teams out
I should stop being a pussy and stop running free kits on Perimeter.
>>560570223>shroud quoteLmfaoooooooo
>>560570093>[Insert Generic and Needlessly long winded response about TTK]Ermm maybe get friends sweety?
>>560570223bros...this is the cope people who are playing a bad game say...
Me and you
What would you do if you and your bros found a Thief all by herself?
>>560570223With how outrageously scummy the previous CEO was with Destiny 2 my bet is that they're blowing all their funds on ARGs, Prank Video, and getting these content creators to say quotes because they know it's dead and are salvaging any funds before they pull the plug.
anyone else feel like this game has become completely unfun over the past week? i've gone from a good extract rate to a low one and not even being able to do later contracts as I've gained season pass levels. everyone is running peak meta gear somehow when we're months away from wipe still, and trios have basically become unplayable, i've been forced to move to solo queue because the premades aren't even playing the game like an extraction shooter. they just go around killing everyone else.
>>560570223The reaction people have to this game doing the most standard and generic marketing is so crazy
>>560570494me as thief
>>560570494Get our wallets back
>>560570494>>560570536>rape
Spend 15 minutes sitting in a building near Intersection to try to do a MIDA contract just to get killed by an assassin sitting in a corner near the terminal.
>>560570093yeah idk, trios are wonkyits usually 1 person gets deleted, then the next, then the last guy either clutches a 1v2,1v3, or dies and usually its the latter
>>560570494betray my squad and beg her to let me worship her feet

>Destroyer has better mobility than Vandal>Thief does recon better than Reconbalance bros?
>>560570494Remove her head for a trophy (and fleshlight).
>>560570528well the best loot 95% of the time is off other players outside of outpost or doing lockdownsespecially with the sound changes, you have to kill everyone else on the map before you can safely fight wardens, open key rooms etc because you'll have 4 teams up your ass instantly
>>560570802Guro king...
>>560566351I've had 30s max queues all evening
>>560570262I'm playing with [s]friends[/s] but it's just like... unless we're never going to loot anything ever, we have to let our guard down at some point. I don't think we collectively have the discipline or even enough time in the match to loot one person one box at a time while the rest of us lookout like we're the fucking SAS, stopping in between every time for 10 seconds to listen out for crouchwalkers. I don't see any streamerfags playing that way either.
>>560570494Call Nona on my iPhone 513 and tell her I have a dead body to recycle for scrap

>>560569030I've seen some people thinking it's broken because there's no button prompt to scan yourself
>>560570767I was waiting for all the subhumans to be done with their pvp so I can have the place for myself.
>>560569194I am looking forward to the shitshow, most people on other social media seem to be largely unaware of this
>>560565519Yeah. When you find a blue gun you can just strip it for parts and have most of its value in a few slots. There are rarer guns though (haven't even seen a misriah yet) and you should definitely grab them even if they're white.

>>560572083unfortunately cryo archive is only for the girls and the gays
>>560569030I did it first try but I had to kill two other players and got killed by someone right after finishing the last step (they were nice and waited, could've fucked me over) - I can imagine getting stuck on that for a while, especially solo.
>>560572083if hacked robots can do the same job just fine, what's the whole deal with having to send Runners and 30 pages of emails between CyAc and UESC on if their shipping manifest include undeclared Sekiguchi class V clones or notjust fucking send robots

This is the majority of the playerbase, Cryo Archive is going to hit these guys in the face like a backhand and it may end up killing the game.

>>560572426I can't wait

I have a fresh "My Dad Works at Bungie" intel from a friend of a friend.I don't know how to describe this without using Destiny and Destiny 2 to compare butMarathon is going to be akin to a overworld like when you went to the Throne World in Witch Queen but all the areas that go deeper and those little hidden caves to grind exotics are all locked behind Marathon Keycards/ID Cards. There is a "overworld" but thats it for people who dont have keys to go deeper.

I love how arc raiders trannies hate this game. I engage every nigger I come across on the off chance they are an arc raider tranny.
>>560573412this and then make it so destroyer can shoot them with his shield up
i helped
>>560574058I'm proud of you destroyer bro
>>560573587Why would the shells have features of different races?
>>560573558that's actually exactly what I was picturing based on the keys, I wonder if there's anything worthwhile to do there
>>560573928Most of the people that are getting filtered in this game aren't ARC types begging for aggression based matchmaking, they're genuinely simply no longer able to play and have fun once they get to a certain level because Bungie fumbled multiple game systems and made it so that there's a lethal combination of the top 20% of players playing like it's a battle royale and killing everyone else in their lobbies combined with no skill based matchmaking.
>>560574170Because the runners can personalize their shells?
>>560574170because they were designed before bungie decided shells would be generic dolls
>>560574058The other destroyer moving like a fucking Battletech Mech I actually thought this was a MWO webm for half a second lmao.
>>560573558i could believe this because bungie appears hellbent on making the exact same mistakes again despite being in a dramatically less forgiving environment
>>560574170because the kind of person who'd insert into a thief shell would want to be a petite barefoot asian girl
I just lost 5k loadout to a dumb mistakeDO I DESERVE TO LIVE?
Why is the V11 Punch literally the best gun in the game for how cheap it is? It's insanely cost efficient.
>>560574170for fetish purposes of course
Just release PvE already I ain't spending 15 minutes solving a bunch of puzzles and fighting a boss to just get 1 shot by some faggot at the last second
Fuck this matchmaking is too hard now, I think I leveled up too much
>prepare to le fucking DIE marketing styleIt worked for soulsbornekiroring, why isn't it working for Marathon?
>>560574170Because the people they're based on were different races?
i just spent 5 minutes watching a rook camping the exfil waiting for him to kill somebody so that i could kill him and then he just got bored and left. what a pussy
>>560574686Careful dude, you're gonna set off that one anon who refuses to believe that there is level-based matchmaking despite everyone experiencing what you have experienced.
>2 snipers + 1 rushdown shotgun assassin is objectively the metaya ok cool the game is one month old where do we go from here?
>>560574770>the game is one month old11 days
>>560574770>ya ok cool the game is one month old where do we go from here?You pray that Bungie nerfs the WSTR into the fucking ground and lowers the fire rate of sniper rifles.Otherwise, you're gonna see this shit more often soon.
>>560574770>where do we go from here?eos
Braving autofill after only mostly playing solo for so long, man if you don't have a triage you're in for a even rougher time
How do you abuse the drone wing on outpost, with a team we killed all others trying to use it BUT...we couldnt use it, missing a request
>>560574686>Absolute Shitter at FPS>Level 60 on my Season Pass>Nothing but Yellow and Purple shielded players>Guns and Shell Kits scratch their shields
My teammate just lost a 1v1 to someone with his back turned
>>560575232Your fault for leveling up too much bro :)What's that? You enjoy our game so much that you've leveled up a lot? great. Let's put you into lobbies full of premades with purple shields every match. After all, you're surely as good as those premades, right?
>>560575232>>560574686level based matchmaking denier schizo meltdown in 3... 2...
>>560575313That was me sorry :(
I guess the game is already on its way out if people would rather ERP than play the game.>>560574729It works in the context of a singleplayer action-adventure game where you can also connect online and experience player help or invasions. It doesn't work within the context of a multiplayer only game where progression is very dependent on whether you get ratted or not, and when your progress gets reset every season on top of that.
>>560575462I doubt you're the shitty triage who cant even use an ult
>>560575040I don't understand the question. Couldn't use what?
>>560575681the thing to call the drone, to lower the drone on drone wing so you can enter pinwheel through the reverse method. the blue thing that lowers
>>560574058hol up, why does the health bar disappear when you put up the shield?
PvE mode, or bust. Its the only way.
>>560575752Oh, you need a special key. It's called the drone conveyance key or something like that. I have no idea where it spawns, I haven't seen one yet.
>>560575796Not happening.With the core player base who actually enjoy Marathon want the removal of any and all PvE things in the game already. So it's doubtful they'll ever add more PvE to it.
Game needs skill based matchmaking dropping yesterday.I'm seriously considering uninstalling forever.
Me and who?
why do so many trans women play marathon
>>560576092I prefer hearing trans voices over normal guy voices. Most of the guys who mic up sound fat or skinnyfat. Trans players always sound the most normal, which is ironic.
>>560575034Curious how shit the character balance is even in the mode the game was supposedly designed around from the ground up
>>560575860Then the "core player" "base" better spread their ass and their wallets to be fucked hard and good like a herd of paypiggies.Also, Bungie should prepare for the refunds, because if they decide to go PvP-way, they are commiting fraud via false advertisement, and so refunds are the easiest way out of a class action lawsuit.
>>560575404 LBMM being a thing is fucking stupid
>>560575969Vandal and Thief desperately trying to cum through kissing alone, because they have no genitalia..
I love reconhttps://litter.catbox.moe/geo48hbdo2bypbiu.png
Status check on the playercount?
>>560575860They'll just pull a Destiny and separate the PvE and PvP into their own separate modes, because the extraction mode is not popular enough to attract players.
>>560575796Faggot
So did cryo archive make the player count boom?
>>560576556and then it becomes super successful
>>560576632No u.
>>560576169t. disgusting tranny freak
>>560576676It can become such, if retards at bungo dont pull D2 retardation.
At long last...
>>560576940How many levels is it before VIP? Most of my factions are around 15-20.
nah the V11 Punch needs to be nerfed. this gun is stupid lol.
>>560576676
PvE niggers should be shot in the street
>>560576647did it even launch
Alright the secrets just playing assassin lol everything else is assassin food
>>56057700230
>>560576940>i have to claim 10 boxes of rewards to finally get VIP track>my vault is fullFucking suffering right there. I may get some relief when they do that whole inventory unsqueeze thing.
solo queue times on my region are fucking unbearably long holy fuck
>uhm why doesn't bungie just make a pve game instead of an pvp extraction fpsthey did it's called destiny you can download it and play that instead it's not difficult>why cant i queue for cryo as a solo fuck this game thumbs downqueuing as fill is fun and they want you to learn that in the same way they want you to learn gear fear is a myth
>>560577417there's a sell all button in the overflow box
>try to do outpost runs>finally survive after 10 of those>cant exfil???
weapons tier list (ordered), it assumes you're fighting teams who have blue+ shieldsi dont understand the mass outland psychosis but whatever
>>560577510>just sell good stuffWhat am i, a wastrel?!
>>5605774911 rupee has been deposited into your account
>>560577339Why are PvP players insane like this, they can play PvP if they want, I don't want them shot in the street, I don't even think about them most of the time
>>560576676It would at least help, because so many comments even in 2025 went>Man these trailers are cool but it just sucks that its a setting wasted on an extraction shooter.
>>560577489That's what you get when you dont have skill based matchmaking.I told it weeks ago.
I may be retarded but what's the point of Rook? It feels like he was designed for a version of the game where he is the ONLY way to play solo, since they added solos last minute he's redundant.If I want to do a suicidal looting run, what exactly does Rook offer over let's say Assassin? Rook forces you into 1v3s while solo running anything else is 1v1s. Rook can disguise himself from UESC but so can Assassin, on a lower cooldown, and works on enemy players too. They should just make UESC always passively neutral against him instead of having a cooldown.
>>560577512>that fucking aim assistPlease, stop. You are embarrassing all console players.
>>560577648They're a contrarian faggot out of any worthwhile material trying to be and stay relevant.
https://x.com/i/status/2033533405351088428How did Paul go from being the biggest Destiny dick sucker to the biggest Marathon hater? Fuck this guy man.
>>560576556>>560576676You two do realize that making a full PvE campaign takes years? They're already cooked, this was it and they failed.
>>560577698>what exactly does Rook offer over let's say Assassinstarts with a free green shield and backpack
>>560577803fuuuck
>>560577648They dont want to be left alone with their own kind.
Cryo Archive Wishlist - No Rooks- 10-12 Teams ( Been hearing it’s a HUGE MAP)- Puzzle Solve Exfil’s - 2 Guard Exfil Max, 3 Waves of commanders- No Last Exfil, Timer 0:00 equals game over- Contraband Gear Only Available Here
>>560577781destiny players are some of the most fundamentally raped people to walk the earth
>>560577745It's a console shooter. taking full advantage of the aim assist and bullet magnetism is a legitimate strategy
drone wing solos is just an infinite money glitch
>>560577648The game wouldn't be fun, challenging, of provide any sense of gamble without pvp. What you want sounds very gay and boring.
Marasisters why has it dropped to this during peak player hours???
>>560577412ooof, gotta grind
The next in my series of sharing what I've learned from experience and research in the game so far. Rarer weapons (even purples) have the same TTK as common (white) weapons. So how do you get more powerful?Ofc, rarer shields are SUPER important & impact TTK
There's no fucking way Bungie resets faction progress, right? Surely they'll only reset vaults.The game WILL die if they do it.
>>560578218That's what happens when you dont have SBMM.Enjoy losing the worst 5% of your players everyday.
>>560578218Anon...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9N0IMV8Qv8
>>560578218>lost a third of its playerbaseBungie: "This is fine, we have an artistic vision. It involves the majority of our playerbase not being able to play on Cryo Archives."
>>560578391They're resetting it faggot get over it
>>560577803Correction, a GOOD campaign probably takes years to make. Because Bungie shat them out with D2 yearly and only a handful of them were good or decent throughout the franchise's lifespan, Taken King, Rise of Iron, Red War (even though the rest of D2 had awful changes), Forsaken, Witch Queen, Final Shape, and that's it. So basically 6 of the 11 or so expansions.
>>560578218>lost ten thousand players in a dayOkay maybe it actually is over.
Big fan of the punch

>>560578351How the fuck do you get Pangea from Panacea?
>>560578218This chart is not looking good and you guys are chugging copium if you think this is a good outlook. I wanted this game to succeed but at this rate the only people who will continue to play it are sweaty premades -- and even they will eventually stop when all the casuals have left which they can't noobstomp anymore.

>>560578641It's just the weekday. Because marathon players have jobs.
>>560578218bungie is currently perishing from sheer braindead hubris
>>560577590Are there any must have/find Weapon Mods or Mod Chips?
>>560578453I won't mind, but most people will.
>>560578701>have to buy the game twice to access it
>>560578701Typo and a correction, 5 players that spawn in at the start, and 3 or 4 rooks to add some variable. Along with scaling the balance accordingly since you're not running with a trios.
my team: white shieldstheir team: laser shotguns
>>560578728Even streamers like Aztecross aren't happy that casuals are leaving Marathon, because that then puts them in a position where they cant make pubstomping noobs their content. That means they're only going up against fellow sweats or cheaters that came over from Trials.
>>560577648PvP is the only interesting genre in gaming.No one but Millennials and older play PvE games anymore, no one wants to read all that crap or have to sit through cutscenes let alone read through a "codex"Like I've said in previous generals, they need to remove the PvE crap. Remove all the UESC nonsense, the contract gimmicks and the talent trees.No one wants to sit by themselves and play a game alone Anon, PvE is shit and always will be.
>>560578701You sound like a fag
>>560578779>it's just the weekdaycope, even their big streamer competitive event could only stem the bleeding on a weekend.
>>560579262>PvE gaming is increasingly preferred by a growing number of players, driven by a desire for relaxed, strategic, and stress-free experiences. According to a 2025 industry report by Newzoo, 58% of games played by Steam users in 2024 were noncompetitive PvE titles, compared to 42% on PlayStation and 41% on Xbox—highlighting a significant shift toward PvE on PC.
>>560577686Skill Based Matchmaking just ruins PvP games Anon you stupid fuck. Only PvEeroids would think thats good.
>>560578728I probably only exfil in 20% of my games.I lose 3/4 of my pvp encounters.This game is too fucking hard man, i know i'm not good and im trying to gitgud but fuck i dont know how long im gonna persevere.
>>560579262are you pretending to be a strawman of a pro-PVP person? cause this game would be pretty fucking dull without any ai enemies.
>>560579387Just play something else. Bungie won't learn unless this game loses all of its players.
What's the meta load out?
>>560579389>are you pretending to be a strawman of a pro-PVP person?Pretty obviously yeah.
>>560579380It's funny that PVPers never want to play against people at their own skill level.
Personally I think they should introduce PATROL variants of UESC or even AI controlled UESC Runners to sweep the map after a certain period of time.
>>560577512>a console player bothers to record shimselfwhy
>>560579380People can complain about SBMM, but its the only thing saving games and that's a fact. If it werent for that, Activision wouldn't have tons of CoDkiddies and whales spending money on their games.
>>560579742Only low self esteem faggots are against SBMM.I actually played some cs1.6 lans back in them good ol' days, nobody wants to noobstomp.
>>560579380It's not fun in COD because you're fighting every 15 seconds but in this game I'd welcome it over the coin flip of free kit shitters or no lifers
>>560577648PvP players are extremely hostile because they're competitive in every sense of the word. The live and breathe "fuck you I'm better". Even when defending garbage they happen to like. They're all to stupid to realize that without more PvE focused players shit like Marathon really would be DOA because the only thing PvPniggers hate more then "PvE babies" is other PvPniggers. They love stomping little Timmy doing his contracts or father of 4 Big Mike unwinding after a day of work. Most don't want to sweat their dick off in 3 mans while constantly shot calling.
SBMM is fun, forced 50/50 isn't.>but it's not r-Just shut up you retard it is.
>these anons dont register that it's actually backpack based matchmaking (BPMM)
>>560579774>Patrol UESCYes>Runner NPC UESCMake em only destroyers with an ult cooldown on 15 seconds
>>560580084I dont think they are competitive, that makes it sound like they love going up against equal competition. Instead they just want to go up against easy targets.
>>560580453>Triple Squad of UESC Destroyers firing missile salvos at you if spotted or Boost Dashing at you with a WSTRThat'd be a pants shitter for sure.
>>560580397It's not? If that was the case, free loadouts and purple loadouts wouldn't be in the same lobby.
They should make it so that whichever squad (or player in solos) has the most runner kills gets a bounty placed upon them and UESC actively hunt down that squad, by getting periodically deployed near them.
It took me far too long to realize that it was because of the weather than stamina randomly regens faster sometimes. Because it's heat so rain cools you down.
>>560579495WSTR/Volley Rifle or Bully/Longshot for green or blue kind of loadouts (i.e. not really counting the charge or pump shotgun, or expecting people to have purple shields)
>Orion personally highjacks your ONI communications to do a zone wide announcement of aggressive UESC incursions to put down a particularly hostile group of runners and to make way or perish
>>560577590>the mass outland psychpsosi put it on the back of S tier.it oneshots blue shields. what makes the channel better according to you?
>>560577590I don't get the cope over the copperhead. It's weird that it's not better than the bully but it's also not actually any worse.The DPS *is* higher and if you're rolling with a mag upgrade the mag size isn't much of an issue really.
>get into pinwheel solo>open command wing>most exciting loot is a couple panaceasam I missing something here, I didn't even find any purple salvage or guns
>>560582332I mean there are usually at least a couple of weapon lockers so either you missed some containers or you had particularly shitty rng
unfortunately watching destiny 2 players in real time try and optimise marathon runs like they're farming for tier 5sI feel like you're missing out a large part of the enjoyment of marathon if you're just doing 2 minute drone wing runs of outpost, but maybe people enjoy the game differently
>exfil 1 out of 10 timesThis game is legit making me depressed.
>>560579262Source?
>>560578351 Can you make a gallery on imgur or something with all your infographics?
>>560582783I think you're missing out on a lot of enjoyment in general if you choose to play Marathon over most other games.
>>560578351Wait, is there a Implant that makes the Shield stronger? Im confused. What's it called?
>>560582783as opposed to treating it like a battle royale or mmo slop?

>>560583389It sounds like someone cheated
>Not even 2 weeks in>All casuals have already left>Bad players tooHave fun with your 20 minutes queues i guess !
>>560583081It's like trying to enjoy Destiny but you keep getting PvP bounties and the newest fun meta gun is in a PvP mode no one likes. Classic Bungie.
Assassin is so fucking broken and I can't believe more people don't bring it up, in a game where the average ttk is like a second, having a good invis to secure the initiation regardless of the situation is just too fucking good.
>Already 3 min queues on outpostit's over
