AIEEEEEEEEROOK NERFEDTHIEF NERFEDSAWED OFF NERFEDIT'S OVER FOR CRUTCHBROS
>>560641503>THIEF NERFEDShe barely got touched, stop bitching.
this game is so depressing sometimesanyway, hope Cryo Archive unlocks soon
>>560641503Rook?!Why the fuck they nerfing Rook?
New Assassin bundle in the shop
>>560641503>rook nerfswhere? all I see is that you can use him at level 0 and they changed some thing where you get a sponsored kit after death
>>560641646they didn't like how Rooks kept teaming up.Rooks together strong
>>560641327>terminals in dire marshCryo is literally out, update the fucking OP news if you're going to early bake every time just to shoehorn in your little trannycord you disgusting subhuman
How the hell do people already have the WSTR Rook upgrade? How can I farm arachne that efficiently? I try to finish and loot as many players as I can but I’m only rank 17. The amount of resin needed to upgrade enough things to even get the rook upgrade is crazy too. Anyone got tips?
>>560641646Too fun, can't have people having fun if they aren't a premade trio.
I didnt see the audio range reduction or duos mentioned in the patch notes bros...
>>560641503>ThiefDidn't they only fix the drone fuckery where you steal shit from people who are unable to move?
>>560641921You'd better learn how to read then

>>560641921footnote at the bottom of the page, I really wouldn't be surprised if it's just lip service and they didn't actually roll anything back
>>560641902Don't worry anon, WSTR got nerfed so no need to rush it anymore :)
>>560642003you can bait people into following you into a mined area or post up in a high traffic area like the pinwheel base and see who happens byyou can also sometimes do cheesy shit like wait for a team to start exfil and go in the ring then run towards them and throw a claymore at them
>>560642039Anon made up some rule about the thread having to hit a certain page and he gets very mad when people remind him he's a fucking nobody and no one cares about his made up rules

>>560644154I know this is sped up but imagine if someone played this autistically, twitching all over the place lmao
>chuddies absolutely losing it that marathon didn’t flopHow much salt are you all extracting from your chudtears? I maxed out my vault already.
The Bully is fucking disgusting.
>>560641819I look like this and say this
Bullies often are, that's why they bully others...
>>560644694I know high school can be tough for nerds but hang in there little buddy

>took my pet thiefslut to play monster hunter and nightreign insteadSee ya, fags. I’m taking my trans whore and leaving. Enjoy getting raped by CrucibleGODS who spent 5,000 hours in Destiny PvP
Why are the devs so terrified to confirm that cryo archive requires trios to enter?
>hiding in a box waiting for lobby to clear out to do my contract>not heard as single gunshot or explosion>maybe I'm the only person in the game
>>560644281That atrocious art aside, I hope they'll add a "body type" option for shells so that Triage can be a cute nurse. I'm actually enjoying Triage's ability set.
>>560645679Because solos will scream much like the casuals who raged when Destiny raids were designed to filter anything less than a communicating six-man until streamers found ways to solo these activities typically months or years later
>>560641767>New Assassin bundle in the shopCum coated knife to stomp the casuals withRAPE RAPE RAPE

Hiding inside a box will make me GodClubbing seals will make me GodCamping pinwheel with a shotgun will make me God
>white>console>obsessed with rapeImagine My Shock
>>560645679having played both solos and trios, trios is just a better experience even if you're filled/people dont use mics. pings are still very useful and solos are just frustrating more often than not. also you get a lot more usage out of shell abilities in a group versus solo.
>>560645935holy shit you finally killed someone
Is matchmaking broken?Just did a solo outpost that took five minutes to get into. Did my quest, wandered around Pinwheel. Never saw another player or even heard gunshots. No robot corpses either, other than the ones I killed.
I lost all my gear from yesterday's exfil streak.
>>560645985>
>>560645935Assassins are so annoying in solo queue.>>560646098Shut up, I've killed other players before.
>>560646113>>560645782Let's fucking goooooo time to finally do some pve in piss
>>560646083trios is boring as hell, in solos the game is all about stealth and perception and taking advantage of your tools and the environment while in trios the game is a very mediocre battle royale
>>560646113>>560646223GAME DEAD LOL
>>560646113It was just a pity lobby, the game puts you into them from time to time to make sure you aren't getting reamed too hard to stay Engaged™
>>560646113We're all working our seven figure jobs at various banking institutions
I'm a latefag and I just got Parasitism 1. How fucked am I if this is the entry level quest?
>>560646065>Imagine My ShockShut the fuck up tranny>>560646173>>>>
>>560646480Wait until Cryo opens, most of the sweatlords will be there
>>560646237the problem with solos is everyone is thinking the same thing which is>wait for somebody else to make a mistake/go for something then capitalize on their mistakeso you end up with the entire lobby camping out looking for people wandering by and as a result nobody does anything
>>560646139>tfw nothing left to lose
>>560646607I don't even know how to enter this Pinwheel thing
>>560646620this is not a real thing, you have some weird object permanence issue where you see somebody waiting for you and think they have been in that exact place since the beginning of the universe
>>560646620>and as a result nobody does anythinglmao literally me yesterday at Dire, was just sitting in this one building the whole time since i completed my contract and didn't want to die early, i literally did not see anyone come near my building the whole map and when there was 3 minutes left i decided to exfil, i exfil successfully and realized i was the last player on the map
>>560646814>I don't even know how to enter this Pinwheel thingMy peenwheel will enter you in every lobby
>tfw knife is white now
Are the reverted sound changes better now?
>>560647149>Are the reverted sound changes better now?It's too late. Sweats memorized the timing of gunfire. They know exactly how fast the "Quest players" are able to start PvE after spawn. Sweats will hunt down casuals just as quickly.
>>560647316lmao
>>560647494I'm not even kidding, I studied that shit to third party
>>560647316bro can hear people from pre patch
>>560641503Is he nerfed by virtue of shotgun nerf?
>>560647494>hes laughing when there is an overlay that does it automatically for youlmao gimme your loot
>>560647541Well I'm sorry about your autism brother, but thankfully the vast majority of people won't be encountering your sperg ass.
Okay but instead of the edgelord stuff can I get an actual answer?
>>560647316>sweats are all omniprescent mythical rapegods who know where you are at all times before you're even thereWhat the fuck, how do I do that? Is this shit achievable natty?
SHROUD IS DOING CRYO ARCHIVEwell not yethe just changed his stream title
>>560647917You just have to put _TTV at the end of your name and that will unlock your first chakra and start you upon the path
>shoot guy>he round the corner to break LOS but panic throws a grenade at the same time and blows himself upalright
>>560647620You no longer get a freekit on a failed run
>>560646480Nothing left but swearing myself to Arachne.I'm never getting Parasitism shit done either.
>5k minimum loadout for Cryo Archivethats not too bad, I’m happy to pay seeing as how all we can fail against is raid bosses and AI enemies and not bullshit sweaty PvP crackheads, thank God Bungie threw us real gamers a bone with this PvE only area, can’t wait till it properly releases

Niggas be out here buying gear in da store...When they finna be raping and robenning them other peoples. Shit, son.
>>560648791Play fill and hope you get carried
>ranked will require you to buy stuff with credits to enter itShitterbros it's so over for us...I was hoping ranked would enable some form of SBMM but it's clear boongie has decided this game is for good players only.
>new assassin skin>its...>the same as default
>>560649056this.gibs me dat.
>>560648275I have played ark for years and trust me that you are going to be fucking farmed in cryo archive by streamers.
founded a guy who was also farming these... he had 45 lol thanks and sorry for giving you no chance to fight back when I triage ulted you out of nowhere
>>560649618>>560649056They should probably make the armory more affordable considering this is everyone’s opinion
Did they add the Hub yet?
>>560649721Umm no that won't happen this time because... well it just won't, and even if it does it's a good thing actually because marathon is a hardcore competitive pvp e-sports environment and you should go back to arc carebears
>>560649823Bro thinks he's everyone
Can someone tell me how they nerfed the shotgun I don't see anything about it in the patch notes
>>560649767wrong image
>>560649408There's no point in them making any other Assassin skins because the all black one they showed won't be beaten unless they start making noticable model changes
Can you only do Ranked in Trios/Fill?
>>560649952Bigger damage falloff, weaker autoaim/tracking
>>560649917>youtube comment on 4chanYou buy expensive guns from the armory lil nigga?

>>560650218So two teams and no solos? that's not very extraction shooter of them.
>Bungie releases a masterpiece >no one plays if because of tranniesThey literally ruin everything
Sex Vandal skin when? It should have a bulge.
>>560650420Why would you expect your favourite parasocial friend to be playing a map that isn't out yet?
>Extraction shooter with no maps has decided to not actually release the new map and instead dangle it even longer
>>560650539its not actually known, probably just a shitpost
>>560650539haha tricked you into buying destiny 2 again
>>560650601BUT HE SAID ITS OUT
>>560650609you haven't earned it yet. now go run around dire marsh looking for more hints cuckie
>>560650609They said it would be early April, it's not done yet.
>>560650772And you're crying to us about getting clickbaited why exactly?

>>560650983next you're going to make fun of me for watching Shroud with my ttrans Vandal gf...
>>560651004Here, take this
>>560650983There are more skinny fags on 4chan than fat ones, ask me how I know.
My best run so far... Usually it's sub 1k when I manage to survive...Having 1 blast out of 100 runs... I don't think I can take it much longer....
I want Vandal to use my throat as her cocksleeve
ok if you guys are so much better than Shroud, why aren't you showing off Cryo Archive?
Well that was fast.
>>560650548I don't play it because of Bungie. They don't deserve success after what they've been doing with Destiny. To me personally the final nail, the straw that broke the camel's back was Lightfall. Ever since then I've been eagerly waiting for them to go under, which they 100% deserve. Fuck this garbage company. They don't deserve your money.
>>560650868They’re addicted to shooting themselves in the feet
>>560650539One team of 6
>>560651351For me it was Destiny 1
>>560651327Certified Dire Marsh moment
>>560651232>Usually it's sub 1khow? Literally 1 item in your backpack is like 1k
>>560651327thanks for the free gear cuck
>>560651351Haven't they had over 9,000 layoffs since then, the people you hate probably haven't worked there in forever

>>560651146>There are more skinny fags on 4chan than fat ones, ask me how I know.Nice try, won't ever pass as a woman, will never go below 200lbs
>>560651624What’s your level and how many credits do you have?
how it feels for my only prior experience with bungie was playing halo reach at my friends house and I never touched destiny ever
>>560651327At least I'm clearing out vault space.
nice, thats 4 runs since patch now that have ended in PVP battles within the first two minutesI dont think the gunfire radius was the only issue, Bungie…do they even give a rats ass how this game feels to play for anyone who isn’t the sweatiest sweat? what the fuck are the spawns, they’re worse than COD for fucks sake
>>560652254>more pvpFinally, what streamers have said the game needed since the server slam.
>>560652053189k vault value I don't loot credits, just weapons shields and backpacks so my wallet is always empty lol
Been trying to do Parastitism 1 for days.Bitch about it in /mg/ ONCE.Next run wasn't smooth but I managed to do it.Thanks whatever anon manifested my victory.
>>560652254>do they even give a rats ass how this game feels to play for anyone who isn’t the sweatiest sweatno
>>560651993This was already the Garden of Salvation theme THOUGH
>>560652254Your fault for not playing the game the way God intended (premade trio with 2 of your sweatiest friends).
>>560652254It has worse spawns than tarkov, if you know where spawns are you can literally spawn kill players within 10 seconds of spawning.
So uh...how do I get into Cryo
>>560652254sweats are gonna sweat bwo. Memorizing spawns is just something competitive faggots do, hasn't happened to me on solos yet. Also it's your fault for playing a gamemode designed for clipfarming self-important streamniggers.
>>560652554LMAO
>>560652465>one friend literal cs pro plays in a team and goes to lan tournaments>second friend ~3.5k face it elo in csFeels good getting carried, I'm just vibing looting while they wipe lobbies
>>560652512I unironically think it might be better if they let us choose a drop point, it’s a glorified BR anyway just go all in
>>560652318What about all the extraction mechanics?
>>560652591>sweats are gonna sweat bwo. Memorizing spawnssis there's only a handful spawns in this game you don't need to be a fucking sweat. I memorized them all within like 30 hours of gameplay.
>>560652082>I never touched destiny everDestiny two was dogshit, Destiny one was ok, Marathon is like Destiny one fused with Halo when it comes to gameplay.
holy shit the consumable stack change made so much vault space
>>560652131Okay, what the actual fuck is going on.
>>560651327>0 eliminations>>560652131>0 eliminations>>560652878>0 eliminationsMight have to consider you are the problem.
>>560652878You're getting put with freekits and killing nobody
>>560652878Stop queuing with freekitters
>>560652805Dark Matter camo - copy.png
>>560652878Based free kits filtering the casuals away.If you were a sweat, you'd be able to exfil.
How do I stop getting filled with freekitters?
What will Durandal-kun think when I arrive on the Marathon only to make out sloppy style with my Thief gf
>>560652356complaining actually sometimes works, like the other day I was hiking in the woods and complained that I never see any animals, and shortly after a fox just strutted along in front of me
God it feels good to never have played Destiny
>>560653292It's a cool camo. Wish Marathon had something like dark matter.
>>560653325Make friends on discord desu
>>560652878>>560652131>>560651327Marathon endgame is donating spare equipment and supplies to sweaties so they can do cryo in your stead for you to watch on twitch
>>560653548Truthnuke, reminds me of Ark where YouTubers and streamers had normalfags working in the resource mines for hours a day to fund the necessary stuff for their new video or stream
how the fuck isn't cryo archive unlocked
>>560653513Destiny has been my main game since it's release, it's nice to have this break from poor content recently, even though Marathon is literally just pVp-focused Destiny, but I'm afraid of going back to Destiny in June after being introduced to Marathons wicked aesthetics, lore, and overall updated Tiger Engine gunplay/sandbox.I hope Destiny 3 is their next project building off of Marathon's updates to the engine

>>560651351
>>560654331Which one was opportunist again?
>>560654654The one that allows WSTR to not need to reload as long as your shield is depleted.
>>560651351>Fuck this garbage company. They don't deserve your money.I bought all skins in the store
>>560654840based blast haver
marasisters, what is this chart called? I'm thinking "dead in a month".
>>560652730You extract when you win.
Anyone have any issues with using their microphone in game? It seems like when I have marathon running, it increases my mics threshold even in systems outside of it. So I could be in discord and now my mic isn't activating because the threshold appears to be higher. But when I close the game, it goes back to normal. What could be happening?
Can't wait for more skins.
>>560655054Did they add more today?
>>560654951>You extract when you win.You win IF you can extract. Gaining stuff or not losing it, is the win condition.
Are there any skins that would basically cause you to lose the game if you wear them? I like how the NUCAL skins look. But they are mostly white and I feel like white would stick out in this game a lot. Especially if solo?
>>560655169They added one Gaysassin, with a white knife.
>>560655054Based piggy staying Sony's blade
>Shroud and his buddies just running around perimeter in full purples wiping people
>>560655390>Are there any skins that would basically cause you to lose the game if you wear them?Red Vandal is high risk, easy to notice on the map.
>>560655590Doesn't bother me, trios is for faggots who have friends.
>>560654915Cry Archive unlocks today. The Maragoyim will eat whatever Bungie shits on their plate.
>>560655590what do you want them to do instead?
>>560655626I thought this, but honestly with all the neon red green and orange buildings, this skin blends in better than most black ones
>>560655732Play some other game instead of raping us maragoyim
>>560655703>cryo archives unlocksbets on if it will even have any noticable effect on the playercount?I'm thinking that within a day or two of it releasing we're actually going to have a drop in players due to solos (majority of the playerbase) being locked out of 1/4th of the entire game.
>>560655732blow their brains out live on stream
>>560655031I have the same problem. Other applications don't pick up all the audio feedback. It's just Marathon Not sure how Bungie fucked this up but they did.
>>560655761I just want something for Recon, I have like 2 matches as Vandal. And 30 hours with Recon
>>560655732I don’t give a fuck, nigger, it’s just funny
>>560654915>you think the game is fun, huh? heh, well look at this chart
>>560655872You get your black and purple racecar skin
>>560655590>running around perimeter in full purples wiping peopleBased as fuck.
>>560655590Why does he still use aimbots in games like this? That's so weird when running a full purple shield party on perimeter
>>560655850the combination of ranked further fracturing the tiny playerbase, Cryo Archives turning out to be even sweatier than anything in the game thus far, and Crimson Desert coming out in two days are going to absolutely decimate the player countI rarely say this, but this time I really think it might be over
Marathon's gonna do an ARC Raiders where the game gets way popular after the first month or so.
>>560655732He could learn how to drive a car
Unless Bungie makes UESC original ghost recon/STALKER hard and have roaming patrols, there's no reason not to just actively hunt other players with longshots across the map
Will DLSS 5 save us?
>>560656085>I rarely say this
How does this game have a general when it's dead as fuck lmao
>>560655850It will have a huge impact on twitch viewers.Player count? Not so much. How many people will even be able to get in there?Marathon is a streamer game.
>>560655850I'm expecting the same thing and it's what bungie deserves
>>560656085What does a shitty skinner box MMO have to do with anything
>>560655590The game isn't an extraction shooter anymore, people who play it like that are actually just fodder for streamers and the top players who are playing it like a battle royale.
>>560656085>Crimson Desert
>>560656182It's now a singleplayer open world rpg instead I heard.
>>560656184I mean these same people do the exact same thing in Arc Raiders, its a them thing
>>560656085>Crimson DesertI think I just figured out who's funding this counter shilling campaign
Thread theme when we enter Cryo:https://youtu.be/rHNXbpFZIPM?si=3RT_QY1DtHFmGFuq
Seriously, who gives a fuck >>560656085>and Crimson Desert coming out in two day
>>560655850I hope the playercount tanks just enough for Bungie to realize that solos keep the game alive even if trios is where all the streamniggers are and they shift focus to making the game more oriented towards solos, they can make Cryo incentivize teaming solos like Arc does.

Shroud just laughed at Free kits LMAO
>>560656115Roaming patrols and bots being able to drop anywhere on the map in response to fags getting too cocky would be kino as fuck but bungie is too gay to do anything like that even if they were competent enough
>>560655590Holy shit it's actually idiotic as fuck. they are legit just aipping around the map and steamroll ever pleb they see. They make fun of the poor sods playing auto-fill with green items.
>>560656521Hiding his seethe that they were a net loss because he had to spend his own ammo to kill them you mean.
>>560656184>>560656573That's what happens in shit games that have no SBMM.Hate to say i told you so.
>>560655590It was always going to happen.

[...]
recon's echo pulse is such a wet fart it's unreal
>they gave Vandal a puppygirl mask
>>560655390Not really, for multiple reasons. Indoors, someone being alerted to your presence would be via noise way before catching a peek at you since the design is claustrophobic with furniture, tight corridors and vents everywhere. Outside there's often shitty weather obscuring your view, and if it's clear out like on Perimeter and you were walking across like an open field, you would've been spotted regardless of what colour you're painted with.

>>560657004matchmaking is based on season level.Meaning someone who plays the game a lot and sucks will get matched with someone who plays the game a lot and is good.
>>560657039
>>560656914Because matchmaking isn't manipulated by an algorithm. Fuck SBMM>>560656761>that have no SBMM.Good, get shit on.
>>560657120That's fucking crazy, why would they ever do that
Farming freekitters will make me God
sbmm is only bad for shitters who get their kicks stomping working dads and preteens.
>noooooooo I should be able to farm infants and gamerdads for sick clips!!!!!!!!!
>>560657120It's an attempt at matching the gear. A higher level player will have higher level gear, even if they suck.
>>560657173>it's good for 0.8K/D people to get matched with one of the games top PVPers and effortlessly farmed>muh SBMM is badFascinating how PVPshitters never want to actually fight other players at their skill level, this is how Trials of Osiris died in Destiny.
>>560657039Is the Recon skin in the store? I'm buying
Anyone on the East Coast of the US having connection issues to the server?I was in a match, a teammate fired some fucking insane gun, disonnected me and now I can't get back onto the game because it keeps telling me Servers aren't on
>>560657398Those are Cryo skins, you need to kill a Compiler then extract with the respective shell
>>560657004Nope, only matchmaking is based around your level.Just watch youtube compilations of marathon, half of the big plays are some purple shield 1v3'ing freekits and yelling WOAH CHAT DID YOU SEE THAT?!I was hoping for ranked to be a separate queue to save the game for me, but they dont even do that.Yeah i'm terrible and trying to improve but wtf do i have to do besides building a time machine to have 5k hours in tarkov and 3k in destiny/halo? It's beyond hopeless at this point. Doesnt matter if i improve i'm simply never EVER catching up to the dudes nolifing this game. I get better they get even better.
>>560657363>>it's good for 0.8K/D people to get matched with one of the games top PVPersI don't give a fuck about 0,8 KD people. I love shitting on them
>>560657452he hit you with the Connection Killeryoure done
>>560657558see >>560657336 >>560657350
>>560657019wait til you see destroyer's firecrackers
>>560657558When all actual 0.5 K/D players leave, you'll be the one having it and getting shit on relentlessly game after game, I want you to remember this post and how you wished it upon yourself.
>>560657350you know that would be a great idea for matchmaking, age group brackets, have 18-21yo, 22-25yo, 26-35yo and 36yo+
I guess ranked will really be determined by what these score values you gotta hit are. Like nobody wants to fuck around being doomed to RNG looting because they didn’t gank hard enough and need a sub minimum of 6 dog tags to make any progress or mandatory purple everything to break even. Or imagine some team that had all the chips went down to some AI hellhole and you finding their body is the only chance you have to make target score and you’re on some big stupid search looking for where somebody went down. Idk I’m keeping open mind but I can see this hitting a few obstacles quickly if the scaling of score target is too stupid
>>560657398Anon, these are from achievement/codex unlocks for Cryo when you do certain things with those shells.
>>560657173Giving the game SBMM would literally kill the game. Content Creators are what pull people to play, if we change it to SBMM that means there won't be anymore videos showing "insane skills" or "this build deletes teams!"
im usually a guy who enjoys ranked game modes in other games but i think ranked might just be cancer in this gameive already had to deal with several fat (you can tell because they breathe heavily on mic) gentlemen with southern twangs trying to shot call and tell me what to do>stop running!! stop stop stop!>revive me! revive me!>what are you doing go get our teammate up!!>no not that way this way!!doing it in a RANKED mode where there are perceived stakes seems even worse
>>560657714Gender brackets too
>>560657479>Those are Cryo skins, you need to kill a CompilerI don't do PvE>>560657718>these are from achievement/codex unlocks for Cryo
why is cryo locked still?
>>560657714actually i think it would be best if we do it by income bracket, BMI, and number of sex partners
>>560657948Im excited because it means I will stop getting matched with jobless ttv lobby wipers if I play in silver 2
Cryo needs to open so I can have comfy solos whilst I grind out Parasitism 2
>>560657986It’s like the old saying goes if my aunt had balls she’d be writing concept stories at Bungie
I fear cryo archive and ranked won't be joinable solo, I will drop the game if I can't experience the full thing solo
>>560658092Does performing oral on several different men count towards my partner total or not?
>>560658260nogay sex in general does not count
>>560658207Get ready to drop it then. Ranked MIGHT be trios only and Cryo WILL be trios only because Bungie love arbitrarily locking content off from decent chunks of their playerbase.
>steamers demand lower TTKs >streamers demand more players on each map for more PVP>streamers demand that rooks and shotguns get nerfed because they don't like being able to be killedBungie catering to streamers unironically killed this game. Yesterday it had a 10k drop in peak playercount from the weekend.
>>560657684>When all actual 0.5 K/D players leave, you'll be the one having it and getting shit on relentlesslyI can abandon this game for GTAVI and the new Call of duty. I dumped Arc no problem

So cryo is confirmed solos only? Did bungie shit the bed making that choice?
I'm going to use my blue bag and my blue shield.I hope nothing bad will happen to me.
>play with lfg for like 5-6 hours>gain like 80k credits>only die once or twice during the entire time>"play tomorrow?" "yeah">never hear from them againwhy does that always happen to me?
>>560657650at least there's a chance you might do something useful with it. recon's scan is literally just a i'm here come and kill me button if used before a fight. if you pop it after the fight is already started it takes so long to activate you will just get flanked and raped because you're not actively pushing with your team. the only time it is ever useful is in solos but even then any competent player will just be able to use it against you
It's over.
>>560657350>I should be able to farm infants and gamerdadsIt's fun
>clanmates hop on some nights to run trio>most days I'm soloing for the stuff I need to do/wantI'm afraid I've gotten so good at playing solo I am incompatible in trios. I haven't even tried random trioing because solo is way more fun currently

>>560658782if you ever have to resort to melee your aim is dogshit, it literally means "I was not able to kill a guy with the gun"
>>560658982i just think they probably think im bad and their second choice so.. which is crazy, the only time we died is basically cuz one of them ran off on his own and got knocked by a team "ratting" inside processing

>>560655871Not sure if you will see this but I went into sound settings and turned off a setting for directional team mate sound or something. I don't play trios but it said the setting lets you hear team mates from the direction they are. However, I turned that setting off and it looks like my mic functions correctly in and outside of marathon when the game is running. Try that. Maybe it wiill help you too.
>>560659184>>no SBMM so people are literally getting helplessly slaughtered by sweatsKino
>>560658335Not sure if you're familiar with Bungie but this is their moThey did this in Destiny 2 especially, any time streamers complained they immiedately changed things to sate their complaints yet the rest of the player base, the other 99% had to suffer. This was most prevalent in End Game content.I think the biggest one that made me the most upset was when they had a day, sometimes two-day special Raid Difficulty, when a Dungeon or Raid (MMO Raid not the Arc Raiders term) released. If you completed it you got a playercard (emblem) and loot that was really good. During these times, streamers would complain that the game is to easy, and so, Bungie nerfed a number of classes and especially Solar Warlocks AoE healing ability. During a damage phase of a raid boss, and or, encounter (you or your Solar Warlock would drop/use Well of Radiance and you'd be immune to most damage and other buffs as well in it, almost mandatory to beat enrage timers) you have to place down Well of Radiance or sometimes a Titans Bubble Shield (giant shield you can stay in and pop your head out of) to get through it; well streamers, especially Saltagreppo and their sycophants. They complained that the game was to easy now and it needs to be more challenging and almost immediately Bungie made Warlocks well weaker. Now 99% of the base and specifically Casuals and Normies couldn't do raids or dungeons and if they did they were absurdly hard -- HERES THE KICKER THOUGH. The streamers complained about the game being to easy DURING THE HARDEST ITERATION OF THE RAID AND OR DUNGEON and not on Normal Difficulty, let alone Master Difficulty that releases a few weeks to a month later.Every time Bungie did this in Destiny 2 it killed thousands of players from ever playing again and others didn't come back until the next expansion. So you'd have immense drops in the player base because it got harder and harder to do anything and eventually people just stopped.

>>560660369When watching webms or streams or whatever, if I see controlled buttons i instantly close it.
is there really no off-line mode or fucking third person toggle in this game? are they for real?
Is recon in solos absolutely pointless? Also, do shell baseline stats differ? Like does destroyer have more HP than assassin etc?
>>560660415ACK

I am not even sure why I don't like playing trios in games like this. I think its because in games like tarkov, playing on a team anything less than seal team 6 level is aids. Even in discord with comms, tarkov in a 4 man group was complete aids. "IS THIS YOU? IS THIS YOU? NO? *SHOOTS* OH IT REALLY WAS YOU!" Its just absolute chaos. I also think trios in this game shifts the feeling more towards like apex legends and lowers the intensity in a weird way. In solos, the engagements definitely feel more intense. Sure, its sometimes over quickly but sometimes its definitely drawn out and the fight is intense.
>>560661005Hardcore gamers play games that are designed for them, or ones that have huge cashprizes.
>>560660726>loadout value of 5k or more per runI am only level 10 but is a 5k loadout basically all purple or something? I am glad they have something like that though because otherwise people would just do what tarkov had. Which was "hatchling" run in labs where dudes with only a knife would spawn in and run to good loot, shove it in their ass and then die.
>>560660832Oh god, so I blame this entirely on Bungie.The first handful of steps required us to go to and from terminals on each map starting with Perimeter, then to Dire Marsh and Outpost then back to Dire Marsh. We had to do this a *bunch* of times to fill up bars and "loading" screens on the ARG Website.Then all the terminals changed again and had a X and Y Access that you had to super impose onto another part of the ARG website.After that, and most recently it was a Scavnger-like hunt with a questionare, again, on the ARG site where it would ask you like "how many shoes are in the coat closet in the facility on Dire Marsh, Alage" shit like that.Obviously I'm missing a few steps but its beyond my intelligence and comprehension all the other crap. Now theres something to do with a switchboard like device that is 4 x 7 in size and having to find the correct blinking lights in-game on a map or something.Theres a whole bunch of other crap I can't even understand man. It's annoying its almost all on a ARG site most people will never even be aware of. Watch Skarrow9 videos, he has short, 10min vids explaining the process.
>>560661165Luckily this game shows you when your teamates shoot or take damage, and the sound is good enough to differentiate friend and foe based on hud elements. No shoreline resort sound problems here
>>560657889A lack of SBMM or even ABMM is killing the game tbdesu. Cryo Archive is finally in the game's files and yet there's only 41k people playing on Steam, the game already lost half of its launch playerbase. Casual gamers are leaving the game because they feel they can't compete, and they don't want to be fodder for a bunch of streamerfags or youtubers.

>>560660726Why can't I just stuff my bag full of garbage mods then
>>560660486Recon imo is a bit pointless in solo, I main Recon in trios but solo I'm Destroyer.Recon may be useful for the free tick grenade, and scouting out potential campingfags, but ultimately I prefer the power and speed of Destroyer

>>560661360I have been stacking weapon mods and other stuff in preparation for cryo archive since the game launched, only doing free kits I have 1 gun worth 8k and a fuckton of blue mods

>>560661405Why is it that people are so afraid to die in a multiplayer video game? I use to play quake and quake champions and get dunked on by ancient gregors in the lobbies. I didn't care a bit because it felt nice to even fight against someone much better than you. Using my empathy, I guess people just don't like the feeling of being a push over. If someone fought and died valiantly and it was a close fight, I think people care less about dying. If some dude b-hops over your head and 360 no scope dumpsters you, doesn't bother looting you and then b-hops off... then yeah maybe that would shatter the wills of some people.
>>560661827Forget the lore, I don't even know what the key cards on outpost do. I just follow my teammates
>>560661963People just think losing means everything. People are afraid of losing. People thinking winning is everything.
>>560661880All the stuff now and the ARG revolving it doesn't, everythings just been souly devoted to Cryo Archive and getting little teaser trailers for the map.However, almost all the ARGs leading up to the release of the game have had canon, lore, and implications to the overall story (I know >implying)
>>560661536>>sweats complain that they have to play with their own kind instead of dabbing on noobsWhy would I compete for free? Fuck the other sweats.

>41k playercount at peak hoursoh no no NO
>>560661865thanks nigga
>>560661920I'm surprised there's 0 gooner content in the game because that's what attracts most paypigs.
>>560661963Eh, I'm more upset that the meta and gun balance is geared more for hyper aggression towards other players and the other side of the game (looting and extracting) is sidelined
>>560661920An MMO to an extraction isn't really comparable, MMOs are quite literally the most cost intensive genre which is why even 20 years ago they had monthly subscriptions
Imagine sweating in SBMM lobbies for free. When you can stomp noobs for fun.

>>560660415>studio is about to die>you need a BG3 level success>make a niche extraction shooter and then alienate half the base that bought it in the first place
>>560658740>top selling games>includes free gamesThose should be excluded and put into "most downloaded".I sincerely hope that sweats and PvPfags abandon the game in search of greener pastures, and game enters EoS. Maybe atleast then they will be forced to make a final patch with PvE only and sell it at discount, with occasional patch to sell a skin.
>>560662193That's what bothers me too. It's less an extraction shooter and more a Battle Royale with extras steps and or gimmicks.
>>560661920What does the "common man" of Marathon even want?? I consider myself a very very middle of the pack player. I regularly lose fights even when I get the jump on someone. I regularly win fits even after being jumped. For me, I fully expect to die and be killed by someone waaaay better than me. I truly feel that the issue is that people who can only play like 1-2 hours every couple days want the world given to them but they need to be reasonable. In a game against enemy players, the more practiced players have a higher chance to win but that is because of practice which is true for anything in life.

>>5606627577 kills in a row solo is almost impossible except for the sweatiest players.
>>560661920If Destiny 2 EoF is any indication, they're going to backtrack on this hard now that Sony owns them. They don't want a super niche game, they want a game that is mainstream friendly enough that can make them tons of cash and can bring in tons of reoccurring spending over the course of many seasons in the form of battle passes and cosmetics. A very obviously diminishing playerbase within the first two weeks of launch is a massive red flag to the company that this game will not do well enough to invest tons of financial resources into making more long-term content.>>560661963I can ask streamers and content creators the same question, why are they against SBMM? Surely there's nothing wrong with going up against players of a similar skill bracket. But the main difference with games back then compared to games now is that there is a lot more on the line with a casual Halo match vs a game like Marathon. You lose in something like Halo or old CoD, who gives a shit because you'll win another one, or you'll still gain XP and potentially level up anyways, not to mention that we weren't as overwhelmed with choices back then like we are now. You lose in something like Marathon, you lose all the progress you made that round + you potentially just lost items that you've brought with you into that round. The average player is not going to put up with that long term when there is decades worth of potentially more interesting games they could be playing.

Wait, whats the argument for people not liking skill based matchmaking? I have always thought skill based matching was ideal? From what I gather, most normal people like fighting against people with roughly their own skill. However, I guess after a certain point of skill when you become a "sweaty", it gets to be too aids to fight other sweaties? What am I missing? From what I gather, sweaties don't like fighting other sweaties. Why is that? I don't mind sweats but it seems like sweats hate each other.

Nobody played like this in every bit of leaked or official prerelease footage. In footage from playtests people would usually loot 1-2 POI's, maybe try to do a contract, then extract. Nobody was trying to exterminate all life on the map.
>>560663119>I have always thought skill based matching was ideal? From what I gather, most normal people like fighting against people with roughly their own skill.I refuse to try hard for free. I'm not playing competitive without a prize. I will stomp lesser players for fun.Why try hard without reward, when you can torture a lobby for the lulz
I want a refund
>>560663205I'm excited to see how it all plays out for this fact alone.Hell, Bungie even told reviewers to hold off until after Cryo Archive is released and from the Codex for Cryo Archives it looks like most reviewers won't even be able to survive or play in it for every long let alone get to the requirements needed to even attempt it.
>>560663512better keep crying about it in this thread then, I'm sure that will win steam over
>>560663119I don't like playing against clones of myself, it's enormously more interesting to see the whole spectrum of people who barely know how to use a keyboard to people doing movement techs I didn't even know existed

>>560663470In your opinion, how should an extraction shooter play though? To me, this game is similar to tarkov. In tarkov, there was definitely players hell bent on exterminating the lobby if possible. However, there are definitely players who just want to rush loot spawns and get the valuables and dip. However, I can only speak from experience in playing solo tarkov and solo marathon. Maybe in group play, the "exterminate the lobby" goal for people is more common because now you have a gang with you.
>>560662431Look, your game might be just shit then.Good players have the skill already, but if they enter with the best gear too, youre double fucked.Imagine a fighting game where you have to fight evo pros cause your game is poorly populated.And they have a second healthbar.And you fight 2 of these guys while their coordinating, while your tag partner just learns the inputs.And because they already played through story, arcade and time attack mode, their launchers are + on guard, they get bonus meter and can launch you in the air again for free once per combo.This is how Marathon feels to me.Just give me my PVE solo offline mode so i dont have to asociate with someone that think this was kino.
>every time i call an exfil this starts playing in my headhttps://youtu.be/48ciTXxm1Ag?t=42

genuinely can't believe they're locking 25% of the game behind a couple dozen nerds solving some stupid riddles
>>560663468It literally is a reskinned destiny you retarded son of a bitch. They barely changed anything other than make it PVP and all you faggots are deepthroating bungie's balls.
>>560663825>>560663806This can't be compared to Tarkov, Tarkov has extremely slow, methodical movement. Even if someone is trying to play is like a battle royale or some 10k hours guy wants to stomp, you can genuinely just avoid other people due to map sizes and the slower pace.Tarkov also doesn't have exfils that literally shoot a beam of light into the sky while being located in areas seemingly designed specifically to encourage kills.

>>560664037Even the new Cyro perks are literally copied over from Destiny 2, in some cases straight up to porting over the Airborne bonuses. This game is literally reskinned D2.>>560663552CA's launch as we know it will be a long term disaster that will do absolutely nothing to buff up the playercounts. Especially because this is supposed to be the hook of Marathon, this is what players will be expected to work towards with the launch of each season due to vault and faction resets. All the Bungie employees can hope for is to jump ship and look for a new employer.
Imagine being a slave to a woman(wife), a slave to some kike(job), and being bad at video games.Grim
>>560662945Your teammates kills also count. Just play long enough and you'll get carried. I did the Arachne kill 5 without dying and I'm pretty sure I only shot 1 person
>>560664340Not sure what causes people to be born with such weak souls. I am not afraid of encountering other players but the nerves of other players are truly ruined if they need a pve modeSide question, I am curious about Arc Raiders. I hear that game has different lobbies for pvpers and pvers. Why? Or rather, I am curious about just how carebear mode the game is in general? Wouldn't sprinkling pvpers into the pve lobbies add excitement? In my head I just picture whole lobbies extracting at once in the PvE lobbies. And that is fucking disgusting to me.
>>560642167A rook tried that on me when I was exfiling my anomaly. Stabbed him on the face

>>560664340Yes.This Game will ge EoS soon anyways, i was only along the ride for the scifi horror theme, artstyle, ost, lore and visuals.Turns out i cant even acess half of it, because they catered to hardcores and streamers wich will inevitably drop it when they cant farm shitters(me).Gameplay is genuinely the worst part of the game right now, i dont want to asociate with you niggas.Neither as enemies nor as allies.

Guys...I lost my blast...
pvefriends need to learn pvpgods aren't their enemies. we tell you to git gud because it's fun and we want to play with you and we believe you can surpass your limits.
>>560665229out of curiosity why did you alt f4 if youre gonna die anyway
if you won't implement SBMM why even bother even having matchmaking be level based at that point? bungie are literally denying streamers their hype moments by forcing them to play with similarly levelled and experienced players instead of gamer dads and noobs
>>560664889wtf I didn't even do anything
>>560665348If you want SBMM play ranked
>>560665225I'm being honest. Call of duty content creators are reverse boosting, abusing SBMM to post "nukes", aka 30 kills without dying. I've done that too.Arc raiders players abuse ABMM, they eliminate themselves to get into shitter lobbies, who don't like PvP. I did that too, and killed everyone in "PvE" lobbies all day, every day.
>>560664916mf most players are not very good, exfil early and spectate your teammates on perimeter, they move like slugs. you're hallucinating hardcore players because your aim sucks and you keep walking around away from cover and you keep ignoring the lessons you should be learning from each death.
>>560664468I got and lost my first purple shield in the same lobby lol. Surprised I even killed the guy when all I had was a green shield
>>560665348>bungie are literally denying streamers their hype moments No they're not. Streamers are breaking kill count records and shit. Or time records, how fast they can exterminate the map.It's fun.Fuck pve shitters
>>560665324this is not true at all lmao
>>560665330idfk i wanted to go out on my own term
>>560665324some people don't want to play games competitively, they don't care about rising in the ranks or having a positive K/D, they want to have fun, and playing against overcompetitive fags that take the hobby way too seriously is not fun
Wow, lockdown hurts you really quickly.
>>560664289I swore the side dashing UESC reminded me of the four armed guys
>>560665348The level based matchmaking system (did that one spergy guy who was denying it exists kill himself yet?) functions in a way that appears to be designed to prevent refunds.Below level 20 is the kiddie pool, you'll almost never get matched with people far outside your level. After that there are a huge amount of reports from people saying that they go from exfiling often to just endlessly being killed by streamer types and sniper/shotty types, complete with getting matchmade with level 60's at 20 and son on.
>>560665615this game will die and you're hammering the nails
I don't want people to have fun. This is why I reverse boost out of SBMM.I like to ruin fun for people, unironically. I love doing it to them.Kill shitters
>>560665093Unironically it just might, Bungie is an expensive studio that M$ noted had a tendency to burn through money, they laid off tons of employees leading up to the launch of Marathon and Sony singled them out as incurring a $203 million dollar impairment loss just for putting out D2 content last year. The cards are 100% not in their favor.
>>560665503>exfil early and spectate your teammatesI might just try this today lol
>>560665761the gap is immense and is there just to feed noobs to the few that spent enough time to level up fast, but it will just make quit the game to all the others. Fucking hunt showdown has sbmm and it's not even trying to be a competitive game like this one, they can add it here
So how do you get into cryl
>>560665819>this game will dieEvery game will die. Why can't we have one without SBMM? I'm not losing money, Sony's losing money. Big deal. Let it be the one game with no SBMM
>>560665890Marathon literally had to be in the top 5 selling games of the year for Bungie not to be axed, Paul Tassi was reporting on this like 9 months ago.
>PvEfags constantly complaining since fucking server slamGenuinely getting tired of coming here because the complaining from these faggots is annoying. Go play Helldivers 2, go play Arc Raiders, go play Left 4 Dead, go play Destiny, go play the hundreds of popular PvE games.

>>560666004Ubisoft did that with Xdefiant and it fucking died. A lack of SBMM does not guarantee success.

>>560665867in what game will you move once this one dies?
>>560665761At least for Steam and even some countries; is there anyway to contact them to say what they're doing?
>>560666084>PVEfags, PVEfags!Most of these people aren't PVEfags, none of them are begging for ARC like aggression based matchmaking.No, these are genuinely normal players that are just getting filtered because of bad design choices by Bungie, the common retort ITT and elsewhere has been "I was having fun and had a 50/50 exfil rate but ever since I leveled up on the season pass I just started constantly getting killed at spawn by other players or 2 minutes into a match and the last time I tried trios me and two free kitters got slaughtered along with the rest of the lobby by some streamer"
>>560666370nta but I did not think about this at all, I just thought it was a fuck you area, kinda cool you can interact with it, does it get better loot or anything
Why is the matchmaking so fucking slow?
I wish Vandal and Thief and Recon had see-through cum-storage tanks in their torso so I know how much cum I'm going to need to drink when I sneak up behind them and surprise them with my cock-pumping machine (aka my throat).

>Go to one of the Marathon Discords I lurk on>Been seeing these comments regularly the past few days now; they're not even replying to anyone in particular, they just posted this to no one, like it wasn't even in the discussion
>>560666417>Marathon has all this build crafting shit, but it feels punishing to engage with it as you lose gear before even knowing how that shitty implant really buffed you.This is a weird one that I think the game doesn't really communicate very well the intent (if I'm even reading it correctly) - most blues/purples that you're getting at this point aren't really meant to be 'buildcrafted' in the sense that you're building a playstyle you like, because they're so ephemeral, yeah you might notice the implant mod that makes you turn invisible on precision kills and 'wow sick' but then you'll die and it's gone.I think the buildcrafting is supposed to be as you progress into the faction rep upgrades and armory where you can actually buy shit, so a deep credit wallet and access to the stuff you want then becomes the norm you're operating at, and very few people have nolifed the game enough to reach that point.
>>560664997I dont even know you.Thats the boon of an anonymous imageboard.I am here to share my opnion and insights, and compare them to other users.But i dont want to play videogames with you.I dont want to hear your voice ingame.I dont want to worry about your ass stalking me while i try to kill a boss.
>>560666489>>560666489>I just started constantly getting killed at spawn by other players or 2 minutes into a match and the last time I tried trios me and two free kitters got slaughtered along with the rest of the lobby by some streamerNo one is matching into streamer lobbies consistently. Provides proof of this claim and then I'll take this seriously. Also, there are things you can do in this game to not let that happen to you. If you're not investing time into the game to get better then what are you expecting? The idea is that as you level up, you know more about the game and it's systems, if you fail to take any of that into account, that is YOUR failure, because other people are doing it just fine.Marathon is not a difficult game to grasp, the builds are not complex. You're just behind on being skilled at shooters, and the sooner you accept that the better, and then you have the choice of "okay, I'll get better" or "okay, I'm fine where I am" or "I'll throw a fucking pissybaby fit"
>>560666945The implants and cores exist to help the top players stomp everyone else even more effortlessly.Some of them do shit like let Vandal literally double jump across half of Outpost, 80% of players? Get no use out of it, higher stats barely make a difference beyond tree upgrades. But for the 20% that are grapplesliding around and killing everyone else in a match it lets them dominate even harder.
>>560666952so just kill yourself. you don't want to interact with the world.
>>560666701Bungie's matchmaking algorithm is probably having issues getting players with good connections and similar levels/skill levels into the same lobbies, so its taking a lot longer to compromise.

>>560666084Even though my wheelhouse are usually PvE games I'm just not really enjoying the game as I was the first week and then the week of the Server SLAM.I'm Level 63 right now and my matches last around 20 seconds to 1 minute and 35 seconds and nothing longer. I haven't exfilled in a week or so be it trios, solo, or with Rook.I don't care that I lose gear, I don't care that I die, I just want to play on a map a little longer than a minute is all I'm asking Anon.I love this game and want it to succeed but it is tiring that almost every match I encounter a team or people in solo that all have purple and yellow gear and just one-tap me even when I have blue shields (I've never come across purple shields in all my hours playing). I've been stuck on this Sekiguchi Priority Mission for days now too.

I personally refuse to do the basic thing of >learning how weapons perform >learning what builds work with specific shells>using the items/cores i pick up instead of shoving them into the vault>learn the map im playing on>learn how my shell abilities work>learn how to engage and work with a team>learn the spawn points on the map so i can make sure i dont run into another team/playerLegitimately there are online tools which do all of this for youYou can do 10 minutes of searching and figure it outYou can run the maps for 3 hours each and you'll get a decent enough understandingYou people are fucking crybaby bitches
>>560666414>>560666407>>560667017you guys are crazy, like actually crazy, is this sunk cost fallacy or something? i've been having fun over the past 60 hours of gameplay but pretending the game is doing okay or doesn't have any problems with matchmaking and retention is crazy. stop doing these insane 9D chess backflips about discord troll bogeymen. also stop trying to compared this game to Tarkov to defend it, Tarkov has its own issues but plays entirely differently in almost every way from pacing to how extracts and movement work. thread of loons baka
>>560664468I think people learn pretty quick that brining your good shit into solos is a recipe for frustration
>>560667642Sorry anon, but according to the Bungie Defense Force if you have issues with Marathon then it’s all your fault. To them Bungie’s games are all masterpieces and any problems are only due to the player, and even if they like the game they’re still a HECKIN CHUD for not giving it a 10/10 for existing.
For what it's worth, there is a, somewhat, filtering system you have some control over. I started doing it after I kept matching with the same people over and over again be it on my team and on other teams.Just block them and you won't see them in your queues unless queue times are slow.You could do this in Destiny 2 as well, it helped out a lot
>>560666505It's some event where you have to kill waves of bots and then there's a chest to open at the end

>You do realize that the only guys who won the Marathon Tau Ceti Cup like 3 days ago were the guys who knew the game inside out? CRAZY. Like hours and investment into the game means you win more than you lose?
>>560667946Dude, look at /dg/ right now, they're not even talking about destiny, its been marathon for at least 2 weeks, they're obviously cross-posting here.I'm not comparing the game to Tarkov. I'm saying this game is its own thing, and yet destinyfags CRY about this games existence and then people who are bad at the game (mostly EVERYONE is except a few people right now, its only been like a week+ since launch) are throwing their toys out the pram claiming they're matching in with streamers every game.Of course, there's no proof of it. Because its not a real argument.
I for one like everything about this game except the absurd priority contracts.
>>560667943this might be news to you, but the majority of Marathon players are Destiny players, and you know what that means:no reading comprehension whatsoever, expecting to get carried by the team, and assuming AA will take care of the shooting along with standing still.it's quite easy to tell that the hardcore players are former Trails of Osiris and Compfags, and the shmucks are the Vanguard playlist queuers.I doubt anyone from Arc Raiders/Tarkov is playing this, Marathon ultimately still caters to the Destiny/Halo players
>>560668065ARG needs to be solved to unlock cryo
>>560667495Vandal has better combat mobility than thief, the double jump is really good at changing momentum in unpredictable ways for the opponent with no cooldown while thief gets 1 reposition per engagement with more commitment. Cant speak for destroyer since I havent touched that shell yet
>>560667642I struggle to conceptualzie the level of mental degradation that would be required to have played 157 hours of a video game and be literally incapable of surviving for longer than 2 minutes in it.
>/vg/, the den of fucking videogame extreme autists for the games that they play are complaining that the PvP is too hard for them and that the game should be more casualizedi am fucking laughingyou guys are fucking frauds
>>560668568>I doubt anyone from Arc Raiders/Tarkov is playing thisTrue, the chart hasn't moved for either game and even Shroud is getting constant spam in his chat asking why he isn't playing Arc instead. His reasoning was that he's waiting for new content
>>560668635strawman
>>560668635Fucking hilarious isn't it?
>>560668635Who are you quoting?
>>560668243What about the Marathon Australia Invitational? Was that any better?>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2720256674
>>560668581Double jump is only good outdoors, useless in doors which most fights will take place, especially in the end game/high tier content. Her dash is only good for an escape since if you use it to initiate you'll just be melted since you're locked into the animationHer ult has a 3 second fucking activation time, for a character that should be about speedShe's bad man, you can jump through hoops to make her work in niche situations but 9/10 of the time you'll be better off with another shell that doesnt require said work or niche situation to be useful
>the Marathon Tau Ceti Cup
watching Project Hail Mary on Thursday, if I don't see the UESC Marathon orbiting Tau Ceti IV when Gosling goes to the Tau Ceti star system, then I'm going to be disappointed on Bungie failing to act upon a great marketing move
>>560668630Congratulations Anon, you're talking to someone who falls under the classification of casual/normie/average player.I'm just being brutally truthful to what it's like for me and all I want to do. I very rarely, ever, played PvP games to begin with and when I did it was Halo and or Destiny IPs. I love Marathon, I grew up with the games, hell my parent got me into gaming in the early 2000s while playing Marathon on their Mac.I love the ambiance, visuals, design language, music, lore and the world. I'm trying my hardest and I can barely do anything.I'm not here to ruin your fun or other peoples fun in stomping your lesser peers, like me, I just want to last longer during matches is all.
>>560668423destinyfags have incredibly good reason to cry and shriek about this games existence, they have literally been used and abused by Bungie and know every single thing that is going to happen to this game.even Cryo Archive being some shitty PVPVE raid locked off from 90% of the playerbase that you have to LFG for was predicted by them, as was (will be) the inevitable massive backlash to 1/4th of the game being walled off to most people.you tards will literally be echoing every single thing they're saying within the span of a month, assuming the player numbers don't completely collapse before then.
how can our player numbers compete with this audience?
>>560669171>Congratulations Anon, you're talking to someone who falls under the classification of casual/normie/average player.Nope, I'm as casual as it comes and I'm not struggling anywhere near as much as you are. You're either genuinely developmentally challenged or you're just larping.
>>560669171learn the spawns, unbind your sprint key
(You) should trust destinyturds when it comes to bungie, they've been abused by them for over a decade now
>>560668889Every character in the game has the same stupid animation locks and delays and startup times. They're all too slow for this shitty TTK, that's why the only good characters are the ones who just fire-and-forget and then passively benefit from their abilities for a time afterward
>>560669256the one good thing about Marathon matchmaking is I don't have to deal with weedniggers asking me to "wait" while they "smoke" before we can start the activity
>>560669201>destinyfags have incredibly good reason to cry and shriek about this games existence, they have literally been used and abused by BungieSorry, I don't care about stockholm syndrone retards who brigade other generals like some beaten house wife.
>>560669171Bitch you've played over 4 times as many hours as me, if you're a casual what the hell does that make me?
>>560669429Bungie planned to shut down Destiny 2 for Marathon. You really think the 2k hour each D2 playerbase was going to let this go?
>>560669560I don't give a fuck, this isn't the destiny general.
>>560669171I feel like there's a significant problem if you have 160-ish hours and can't survive more than 2 minutes. Like you don't make noise if you don't move. Just jog up to a POI, listen closely, get inside and wait a bit in a secure spot to see if someone is rolling through, then start doing stuff. If you are dying that fast, you're either standing at spawn waiting to be killed or you're just sprinting head first into a kill box.
>>560669429This is no different from Neteasefags invading generals and giving portents of doom. The key similarity is that Neteasefags were vindicated and Destinytards will be too.
as soon as Destiny 2 gets real content again, Marathon playerchart will be in free fall instantely
>>560659184Good, 1 less maga chud playing our game.
>>560669607And they don't give a fuck either. You want to swallow Bungie's shit? Swallow their playerbase's cock and balls too, dumb bitch.
>>560669258It's nice that you think you're a casual player; you're most likely above average in skill or even greater.Usually my shortest time in a match is on Dire Marsh; getting snipped by other runners from Greenhouse across the field almost or when me and my team are transitioning from one location to the next or anywhere near Alage Ponds and Intersection.On Perimeter I last a little longer unless I get chain spawned where right in front of you is a rather large puddle - whenever I spawn there, there's usually two UESC Ghost troops patroling there and they start to wipe our group while we can't move (when you load in and your kit is red?)The longest I've ever survived is usually on Outpost and that's only because of the environmental event that happens every few minutes and we're inside buildings, there's also tons of cover.

this is how I feel being in /mg/
>>560670058Skill issue. I'm cis and I dominate every tans person I become friends with.
>>560670004The entire Destiny playerbase wants Marathon to be successful so they can all move over. A bunch of dicksucking retards are blindly agreeing with all of Bungie's mistakes just to gatekeep the game and don't care if the game dies.

>>560670194How long did you play for?
>Everyone is refunding...Fark brehs, I'm gonna try too.
>>560667941Player builds should NEVER EVER be governed by RNG.Except you build your game like slay the spire or something.Nightreign did it right and bad.You equip your relic before the run, so you have an outline on how you want to play and certains boons for the beginning of a round.Otherwise your still dependend on the loot you get, but you can play around and try different weapons or bonuses.Only problem is that relics drop completely random, and getting certain effect combinations will maybe never drop for you (just cheat your relics in duh).I am 99% sure that cores in marathon used to be on faction upgrades at sakaguchi, or even more likely that every shell was afilliated to one of the factions, till they came up with the current gear system.
>>560670408>>Sniper riflethey would have raped you for saying this in other circles
I have no sympathy for destiny players, they had a million chances to realize the game was shit.
>Cryo still not out>Fishtank completely no content today>Seasonal allergies starting to hitKill me
>>560670426Oh, you guys often brigade other generals?
>>560670673Marathon unironically somehow is worse (I haven't played Destiny 2 in over 4 years). Somehow sweatier than Tarkov due to no safe wallet, it's like they tried to make a battle royale, pivoted to an extraction shooter, all the while listening to feedback exclusively from Trials cringelords.
>>560670673D2 players almost killed the game to force bungies hand into complaint. Marathon fags gargle dick and balls.
>D2 players almost killed the gamecorrection, D2 players did kill the gameBungie spent years listening to the community and then the community constantly asked for things to be removed or re-done or updated.
>>560670780/hg/ and /wg/ have brigaded /dg/ for years and no one gave a shit. You're just a pussy upset when it happens to you
>>560670586That's one thing that bugs me about Marathon but I don't have any experience with Extraction Shooters or PvP overall.Going to any of the "build" websites or trying to find out how to play Shells I'm constantly having to stop watching because they always show yellow, purple, and blue Cores that are mandatory for the build and I can barely keep green cores in my runs or exfil with them. What's worse is that a lot of the cores SekiGuchi sell are way to expensive for me or are the worse ones to avoid going by said sites or videos.
>game becomes infinitely better once I stop solo queuing
>man beats his wife>man queues into marathon>pretend the man will not also beat you>man rapes you
>uhhhh we got brigaded so it's only right we brigade youSpiritually raped.
>>560671121Really not beating the battered housewife accusations huh
>>560671125you dont need any of it, pick up a gun and shoot niggas
>>560671070D2 players didnt ask for in air accuracy, to abandon pvp entirely, to vault 90% of the content etc
>>560671070>Bungie spent years listening to the communityfrom day 1 Bungie listened exclusively to streamers and youtube retards, just like they're doing for Marathon. that's why they never implemented basic shit like raid matchmaking, why they became obsessed with making the game as difficulty in the worst ways as possible, and why the game completely died. the same thing has already happened to Marathon with stuff like the TTK that is widely complained about.
>>560671121lmaooooooooooooo you fucking sad motherfucker
>>560671125Buildcrafting is a meme only done by streamers. Most people take what they have and muddle through.
>>560671125Keep playing. Find out what actions preceed good results, and what preceeds bad results. As long as you enjoy thinking, you'll figure it out.
>>560671070You mean Bungie did something known as the "Bungie Cycle">Make bad change intentionally>People have a bitchfit>Roll back change>Your prostitute mouthpiece streamers spam "bungie listened">Farm lots of good will for solving an issue you yourself created>Repeat for 12 years
/dg/ might be the saddest general on this board
>>560670345>playing Marathon, then when thirsty call her over to drink some warm milk straight from the source like through a straw, then get back to grindingideal life
>>560671234Can your dumb third worlder ass actually use the analogy you're trying to play off correctly. The battered housewife is an analogy about a person who stays quiet and doesn't push back against someone who beats the shit out of them. This is not comparable in the slightest to someone trying to warn you faggots that you're the next housewife about to get beaten and actively trying to push and kill the studio that beat us. I want bungie to die and tell people how shitty they are vocally, thats the opposite of battered housewife syndrome
CryArchive
>>560671070What the fuck are you smoking? If you asked the community back then if they wanted their content sunset they would've told you no because they paid for the expansion to play it. Bungie have always been retarded in their decisions and uncomprimising dogma to stick to their vision unless shit gets worse. They're out of touch as much as sony is, as much as the industry as a whole is. I mean for fucks sake, if the whole fag buying a car collection doesn't scream does not care anymore you're mentally fucking damaged beyond saving
>>560671717>I want bungie to die and tell people how shitty they are vocally, thats the opposite of battered housewife syndromewe don't care about your schizophrenic rambling, much less the schizophrenic ramblings of a bunch of 30+ year old losers who were playing destiny for 10 years

Steam rejected my refund request.Says excessive rape is not a valid reason to refund a game with 60 hours played.
>>560671393So basicly another "let them pros stomp".I am almost convinced that Bungie really wanted to kill themselfs by burning out their ressources, the casuals and the company that pays their wages.Refund (will make me) gods, did any of you try to get your cash back on playstation?Did you have an sucessfull exfill?

The nucaloric sponsor kit is a war crime.
Friendly reminder marathon got less ccu than fucking edge of fate, and has about 50k players on console if you go by true trophies and the fact that almost 180k people play destiny on console and marathon has a lower playercount than it on both platforms on top of the fact that syeam is their main platform meaning neither xbox nor playstation has higher than the average day to day peak of marathon on steam

>>560670586>Player builds should NEVER EVER be governed by RNG.And to many extents they're not, once you actually progress you can just buy the shit you want for your build when you want. Or are you saying that you hate that the game even has progression at all? Some stuff will be drop only, or gotten primarily via schemas (there's no upgrade to buy a Circuit Breaker or a Misriah) but there is a baseline that will increase as you progress, there's no peak power level that makes streamers unkillable - a fuckin purple shield is 60 more hp than a white shield. There is no 'you are immune to being shot in the back' implant.

>>560674309almost no aspect of this game, from the matchmaking to the map design to the fundamental gameplay systems has actually been thought out. it's been through 3-4 reworks and it shows, especially that they hastily reworked it from a hero shooter into an extraction shooter.what's astounding is that journalists getting insider reports always were claiming that Bungie employees were unironically thinking this would be one of the top 5 selling games for the year. they were constantly going on about how it was too big to fail, guaranteed to sell, while the game got hacked apart multiple times.

>>560674651>Why are people surprised it's more closely related to a Battle Royale than an Extraction ShooterGee, i wonder>advertised as PvPvE>not advertised as battle royaleSo either they are incompetent retards or its a case of a deliberate false advertising.
>>560674651>No solo queues for Cryo>No Rook for Cryo (this was obvious but stated)I feel like this was obviously going to be the case, but confirmed
I've always thought I've had gear fear...truth is in all these extraction games I never use my best gear, I have always enjoyed just going in with free kits or super cheap kits and "zero to hero" running it. It's alot more fun to me to go in with basically nothing and then just compound it from taking it from other players...what does this mean psychologically?
>>560663119The problem they have with it is they never get matched with weaker players so they never get to pub stomp a lobby. That's literally it. Since they always get matched with people with similar skill levels, there are no easy games, if you want to win you will always have to sweat. And if you do sweat and win, your skill level gets updated in the system so there comes a point where after such a win you get matched with players out of your league, you lose horribly, the system corrects again and matches you with similar skill levels, and it basically starts a loop where you sweat your ass off to win, you lose hard against even bigger sweats, repeat. Eventually you get tired and keep losing for a while, then you get somewhat easier lobbies until it happens again. So anyway, people don't like that they don't get to bully weaker players.
