>>560706034EASY!instead of puttin more money into trailers and world building like what they gave us, they decided to split half of that into streamer marketing!
If you ain't playing Marathon, you ain't livin!
Thoughts on a lot of the idle noises in spaces that are on loops, the tinny pings, creaks, clangs etc?
https://marathon.winnower.garden/cryoarchiveCan't believe this is a thing.

I need demiosite rods!
>>560706270alright that's dumb afjust release the fucking map already cunts
Marathon Game Director Joe Ziegler says surviving the Cryo Deck (Cryo Archive) won’t be easy, even for the most prepared crews."It'll be a journey that you'll remember... Cryo Deck is a Pinnacle Challenge in more ways than one."
>>560705987forgot the good spreadsheet again.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xiBwYPWsJbQKErFKXBS89ZKFSEXM3BcF9XXASIkjAak/edit?gid=0#gid=0
lost ALL my shit in 2 hoursEIGHT losses in a row
>>560706453Damn son!
>>560706453yeah no one gives a fuck about that shit because they all want to go around and wipe noobs on parameter
>>560706453Gonna have a blast watching streamers do it! :)
>>560706453damn i kinda dont care
>>560706441it's technically already "released", it's in the game right now. you just need to finish the arbitrary PVE dogshit missions
>>560706352If this game had a real playerbase they would've unlocked cryo by now.
>>560706453truly genius design to combine the most difficult PVE content in the game with the ability to randomly get stomped in PVP by another team after a raid
>>560706453I just want to see angry streamers getting their shit pushed in.
>9 losses in a row
>>560707012my guy just run freekits.
Wait so who is Cryo for? Super sweats might run it a couple times for loot but wouldn't it be more fun to just normal queue shit stomp little Timmy playing before bedtime or Craig after his 10 hour work shift?
>>560707079and get matched with other freekits and shit loot? no
>>560706932itll just be things like getting locked in a room and sandwiched by an army of bots and you need to press buttons really fast type shit.>>560707160i ran purple gear
>>560706270>>560706352there's no way cryo archive is going to take nearly two more weeks to unlock. this game needs it to be dropped basically within the next few days to patch the cliff the playercounts have dived off or it'll be dead by the time it launches
>>560706932It's designed for streamers not for players.
>>560707123me, a converted marathon fan who played classic and wants to shit and piss himself bumping into a hunter in a very tight and spooky flashing corridor
killed nearly EVERYONE i killed this run with grenades when they tried to hold a room, jesus they are way better than i thought
>>560707294it is definitely not for you
>>560707160There is no gear based matchmaking. As a freekit you will unironically often get matched with people in blue and green shields.>>560707294I'm the lore autist anon who was moaning last thread about not being able to play Cryo Archives. Unless you're a god in PVP and geared to the gills you're basically not going to be able to enjoy it from everything I've heard. You'll also need to LFG because nobody is ever going to trust random matchmaking (assuming it's included).
There needs to be GBMM when doing fills dog, going in with real gear and having freekitters sucks
>>560707367
>>560707532it really sucks what they're doing to the game
>>560707519>>560707430There literally is GBMM. It's a mix of level and loadout value. If you want to have your own good kit while also fighting shitters, make sure to not put on any cores, and only bring in one high value weapon at a time.
>>560707972gbmm aint saving you from shit like claymore drones
>>560707972That's a really bizarre matchmaking system compared to something like Skill or Aggression Based MM. Also makes it to where I wouldn't want to do anything but run free kits.
>>560706509dudeyou have to be ready for Cryo Archive
>>560708339theoretically if everyone free kit ran into the lobby some would still be advantageous due to a few skills here and therethen whoever gets sniper/shotgun from a locker is just miles ahead of everyone else.like the matchmakin needs some fuckin work. it like, doesn't work
>>560706270>yet ANOTHER fucking chart to watchare we deadass
Ranked should fix this
ANSWER ME PLEASEcan thermals spot stealthed assassins?does thiefs scan have any value for pvp?has the loot been nerfed hard? all my outpost runs today were mid mid.
I need y'all to lock tf in and kill some uesc!
>>560709023yes.yes.no.
>>560709023Yes.Says it right there on the tin, retard. Scan can cause visual effects on players you stare at.Works on my machine.
crew fill is kind of retarded but fun in its own way
>>560709591>>560709531all the grinders on discord were agreeing it got nerfed
holy shit solos is insufferable to play it's just some faggot sitting in a corner waiting for someone to enter the room everywhere
>want to play some solos with mid kits>cant because there is no space in the stash to put away a kit, let alone have more than like 1 backup kits
>>560706497This spreadsheet is super wrong about at least Circuit Breaker, but if it's that obviously wrong in one place it's probably wrong in others.
>>560707972Has there been any deeper testing of this? Not to say I’m disagreeing as I’ve seen some variation when going up the levels, I definitely noticed the physical loot that exists when you are higher level is much better quality abundance of certain things in the better loot spots, but I couldn’t really tell with the component of what you load in with and that being a determining factor of what other people are wearing. Can you really just game shit with trying to wear nothing and get a less immediately hostile lobby? I’m gonna have to start recording looted bodies and what they had going for early PvP
Couldn't hurt to ask at this point, but has anyone ever had any interactions with other players that weren't an outright KOS? So far I've only had 1 positive interaction on Perimeter, and that was with a player that actually used comms to talk and asked to extract with me. It was such a pleasant relief after a few hours of gameplay and was a nice change of pace, but I havent experienced anything else like that again. Especially since there's objectives that outright encourage PvP, which makes this whole community ARG involving killing tons of UESC bots that much more confusing.
>>560709915explain how its wronglooks absolutely in line with uncharged circuit breakerhas realistic firerate for the burst gunshas realistic firerate for the v11its the best sheet
Would (you) marry a thief and raise a family with her?
>>560710058sometimes i think people try to talk to me over mic but i cant hear them and i just kill them. not sure if my voice chat audio is too low or what but it doesnt really matter
I love that Marathon demands I pay attention. I love that Marathon demands that I read. I love that Marathon isn't afriad to let me fail.I love that Marathon teaches me how to succeed. I love that Marathon respects the fact I have brain.I love Marathon.

>>560710123>(charge)>surely it means unchargedWhat would even be the point of only tracking the mode of the gun that serves no purpose. Assuming that the numbers are correct, then it's just ignoring the actual valuable numbers of what it does when it is charged. Same with the Channel Rifle. And then there's the BRRT where it is maybe good maybe bad who knows???
>>560709023I think Outpost did get touched when they clamped down on shit. Not saying there’s absolutely nothing good to be had in Pinwheel but it feels way more core,implant, salvage heavy almost replacing higher quality modded weapons that were in larger abundance. And I’ve been on some real unemployment boys sweaty clearing of the lobby and rooms. I’m sure we missed somebody but things definitely feel a bit different for loot. Which eh I kinda get given how piss easy a rook drop in can basically slow roll a decent amount
I'll await this general to die just like /codg/
>>560710058I had 1 single outpost rook run where somebody said if you’re a rook come here, and it was a total of 3 of us teaming up and fought two separate teams and got the last ride out and fairly decent loot was still left. Can’t say this will ever happen again
>>560710396I had a bunch of decently long sessions past few days and both outpost and dire marsh have had trash loot overall. like no golds whatsoever and like you said not a single good kitted gun for example in the outpost lockers.I used to find golds off fucking purple ghosts on dire marsh.
>rando squad wipes and I miss the extract because retards want to greed with no health itemsGod damn it dude can’t people fucking tell when it’s time to cut your losses?
>>560710058My experience with EFT is everyone as a pmc is KOS no questions asked if you're not explicitly playing with buddies in a botnet vc. Doubly so as a lone pmc, scavs in that can be hit or miss since there was a karma mechanic system in it that most scavs respected but you had bloodthirsty players who didnt give a fuck if their scav karma was fucked or not.
>>560710396pinwheel never fucking had loot
>>560710549Yeah I know you how you mean especially some of the purple salvage which is annoying being so many spaces in vault and honestly probably not even worth holding some of them when I think you need like 11 or so of just one thing to get idk a purple off armory? And obviously not accounting any lead up to the rep grind and unlocking upgrades. That is one of my biggest issues with the game’s systems, there’s pre planning you could do but there’s a lot that isn’t of crazy value or even worth time effort money focus, and it’s a lot of shit taking up space in your vault. I remember there was a bit more of a guarantee finding certain ghost bosses to have a sniper
>>560706574>parameter
>erm dudes you can't hecking shoot the UESC>if you're solo you're meant to sneak around and I hate when my BOT FILLS engage the UESC they're so stupid for wasting all their ammo>meanwhile bungie now literally wants people to kill 10 gorillion UESC to unlock a quarter of the gameHuh..... interesting....So is the intended design for me to sneak around like a faggot or to fight the enemies on the map? It seems like it could be the latter and people who keep insisting the game is meant to be played like a bad stealth game are just fucking retarded and maybe Bungie need to make even more changes.
>>560710838for a game of this sort where you need to literally stack a shitton of materials the stash space is just too small even fully upgraded
>>560710983materials flatly should not take up vault space and it's baffling why they made it do this.
>>560710459great, ill await your improved english from taking lessons so you dont sound like a complete retard
>>560710897seriously, this is so pants on head retardedat least we can have some friendly lobbies for a little bit
Ratbros we're eating good
my dudes the estimate for cryo based on the bot kills went up to fucking 21 days can you actually play the fucking game instead of shitposting
>>560711326That’s smart I thought they would be conflicting with crimson desert isn’t this better?
>>560711474ain't nobody conflicting with gookson desert nigga
>>560711249Imagine if they'd spent the dev time on improving the game instead of a fucking ARG 12 guys on Discord get to enjoy.
>>560710983At first when I saw a lot of number crunching I thought oh ok so there’s a bit of a preferential strategy, you can get sorted with things and the rest is for completionist and then I started to realize how much vault space would be dedicated to just that garbage and it’s fucking annoying and that’s to assume you are on top of everything. I’m mostly pissed off because the brain trusts don’t have the re rolling on a set thing and it just is all inconsistent for general contracts
Rook Outpost run and managed to catch 2 running to exfil? Pistol only? No loot for you. Try again.
tell me how to play solosim not about to soloq with a bunch of free kitters and get farmed
>>560711828Is this from a playtest? There's a ranked symbol in the top left. Ranked isn't out yet.
>>560711326Reminds me of the Destiny Season of Worthy community challenge of play one of the worst seasonal activities on multiple locations to make number go up to unlock Felwinter’s Lie, and it fizzled out fairly quick when Bungie had to step in and pad the numbers to rush it out and the quest still was bugged after it was completed. I remember when the participation was at some of its strongest, it was basically calculated that the community would finish 3 weeks after Season of Worthy ended and that was being optimistic that there was a good average of participation, something that obviously would’ve tanked.
>>560711828take destroyer, free kit, drop everything besides your shitty meds, run at people screaming RAPE while you knife them
>>560711326>haha guys let’s make an ARG to release the best part of the game >it’ll be great for engagement!>we’ll have millions of players so let’s tell the reviewers to hold off until second half of March to review it game releases, reality hits >mfw 21 days to kill 200 million bots >reviews won’t be hitting before April >by April the game will be down to 10k CCUwtf is wrong with bungie
>kill 500 million bots to open a levelI’m going to go play Monster Hunter 3. I ain’t doing shit this is full retard.
>>560711927Ranked isn't out yet but the symbol is there in the UI.
Solos can’t even play Cryo so why are you all crying about it like a bunch of babies. Enjoy Ranked. If you care about Cryo then kill the bots. It’s simple.
>>560711975dont take a freekit, take nothing. so when they loot you, they get jack diddly squat and wasted their ammo and health killing you.
>>560712025It'll end up being slightly shorter than 21 days. Mostly likely 14 days.
i am a female who mains Destroyer because it makes me feel manly
>have a decent match with randos >get invited to play with one of them afterwards
>>560712025They can just pad the numbers and release it whenever they want nigger, seethe more.
>>560712170>wipe the next match>party disbands
What you GOYS don't wanna go do some burnout-maxing by forcing yourself to farm bots for no fucking reason so the update that SHOULD HAVE SHIPPED WITH THE RELEASE OF THE GAME finally drops? God gamers are so entitled.
>>560712275I just didn't accept it
>>560712338Dude just play the game normally the map will unlock whenever they plan for it to unlock.
>>560712156Actually, could be even shorter. Apparently the first 300 Million was done in 12 days, so if there's only 200M left, we're looking at 8-10 days.
>load into Outpost solo as a Destroyer>run up right behind a Thief>third party them after they take damage to UESC>tfw they were fully purple-kitted >loot it all, turn around and get insta-killed by another Thiefguess this was my karma for third-partying, would've been rich as fuck had i made it out
>>560712457There is always a bigger rat.
>>560712426>he thinks the same amount of players are playing as they were initially It’s going to take 3-4 weeks. Unless Bungie start padding out the numbers, which they should.
>>560712457>he got dead ringer'd
>>560712169I am a boy who mains Vandal because she makes me feel girly.We should fuck...
What factions did you lot max first?I've been weathering the storm with random trios to get the levels for the factions. I'm working on Nucal now for the purple shields at 20+. Traxus is gonna be next for the gold mods.>alsoLoot goblin-ing as Thief as been a pleasure. With some luck, ditching people when I had a lot of money, and good squads in squad fill. I'm ready to lose it all in Cryo.
>>560711274>Walk to a POI>Can hear someone's footsteps inside>Sneak inside and wait in a corner>Shoot them in the back and wait for more footsteps>Loot>Hide upstairs in a bathroom>More shuffling footsteps>Downstairs>Then back upstairs>I wonder what's in this ro->Stab them too>Bail with some blue exfil loot
>>560711326my desire to play completely died when they said it will only be for trios and i imagine that will be the case for more people as the news spreads
>>560712131>>560711975i dont have space to put my current kit away.there is no space for anything in this shit game.
I dont even bother listening to in game audio as rook with close attention. Load in, my own music blasting, dont even pick up anything thats not a weapon on my way to a fight or pinwheel. Just kill, I get better results than sneaking aroundIf I manage to pick up smokes, and some grenades, maybe even a rifle in the way. I know its on
>>560712642I've seen your Rivals stats I know you're getting dogged.
>>560712497No it won't. The current kill rate is 16,958 kills/min at 39k players (on Steam), so even that were the average for the next several days, we'd still complete the remaining 192,982,65 in about 8 days. This is going to be completed rapidly over the weekend.
>>560711326Who the fuck cares about that shit it’s only for trios LMAO
>>560712695Nah I am actually killing at least one team every 2 attempts. Funniest one was infil into dire marsh next the some exfil that gets activated as soon as I load in, managed to kill the two and left in 3 mins with their loot, the seethe must be unreal
>>560712631sell your shit so others cant take it off of you
>>560712338im not worried about itwhy are you so upset
>>560710897>intended this insisting thatdo whatever you want it's a sandbox fps who cares go in with nothing go in with an inventory fully stacked with clays go in with full purples and feed them to the first squad you see go in and sneak until the last exfil literally do whatever you want
>>560711828I genuinely don't understand the pricing on weapons. Why does the Misrah cost 12k to buy from a schema when it's basically barely better than the double barrel? Why does that one hyperrare SMG (not the BRRT) cost 6k when it's basically Bully tier? Why are so many guns like this just locked off behind crazy costs or being drop only in the first place?
>>560712169cute
>>560712781they already forgot you
>>560712781I'm just imagining the seething when it's you on the receiving end. We both know what happens when you're mad.
>>560712727that's assuming the playerbase doesn't drop by another third
>>560712457this is 90% of engagements on outpost btw
>>560712457that sucks buddy.
>sneaking behind AI>some retard shoots at the AI and aggros them>they turn around and start shooting MEim going to come and personally rape every single person at bungie if sony doesn't
I was on perimeter and got shot by a sniper for the first time ever. It broke my green shield and brought me down to a sliver of HP. What sniper hit me? I was a destroyer. I ended up living because I put my shield up and it blocked the follow up shot from the sniper. Is there any gun in the game currently that can one tap down you? besides point blank shotgun?
>>560713070The data I just referenced is during off hours on a week day. You can roughly extrapolate from those numbers that there's roughly 80k players across both PC and console online right now, at 1am on a Wednesday, which means that during peak hours on a weekend, this game has around 125k-130k players. The game isn't going to lose 40k players in 8 days.
>>560712579I normally go for kills. That round was killing one UESC for his sniper with a freekit, spending like 15m trying to get an angle on someone with that sniper, then looting an unrelated, untouched body that had full blue/purple. I found the pure rattiness of the end result funny.
>>560713462You were hit by longshot. Outland will kill you with green shields but not blue. I think the charge rifle can do more but I've never actually used it so who knows what the upside/downside is.
>>560713652outland does 168 with a headshot so yes it will oneshot a blue shield.
>Buy game>No SBMM>Most of the players are dad of 2>Tired wagies or stupid kids>They're terribleWTF I love this
>timmy tells desmond to start streams with tarkov then swap to marathon to retain more viewers>he just quits marathon altogether>still not more viewersidiot fuck
the games going to be so grim by the time they roll mid season balance changes everyone will just move on or not care until reset anyway then remember why they stopped playin anyway the first few days
>>560713796I don't get enjoyment from killing those. As for sweaty unemployed assassins, they're juicy.
>>560713796forgot to include>only play solo as assassinim trans btw
okay crew fill trios is a bit too retarded for me right now
>you cant review the game fairly until all the contents out!>put a massive gate in front of itlol im so over game marketing and marketing in general. hard to not take this shit personally
So I was playing as rook and see the big lockdown thing with a red ship in the sky, i pop in an antivirus and im able to walk in but what do i even do inside, i found a thing called data corruption module or something like that. Used it near a panel and it stopped the red aura but this thing shooting a light into the sky said it needed a lockdown drive?What was I supposed to do?
>>560713863>As for sweaty unemployed assassins, they're juicy.>>560713902>>only play solo as assassin>im trans btwAssassin is easy to kill, why are you so obsessed and mindbroken by that guy.
>>560713508>this game isn't going to lose 40k players in 8 daysIt literally lost 30k players in the span of a week after launch, and that's with Bungie pouring all their effort into paying streamers to shill the game.There is zero reason to not expect an even more severe dip now that casuals are starting to truly get filtered, especially given the Cryo Archive shitstorm that is going to happen.I'm not even going to address the insanely overinflated stats you tried to push as fact.
HOLY SHIT i was about to fucking WWE slam my desk and PC because i had 1 second left for the exfil animation but it said i got disconnected from the game, tried to join back, said servers were unavailable. luckily the screen after said I exfiled and completed my Mida second priority contract 6/6, the one where you have to go to processing third floor.fucking Bungie ragebaiting me..
>>560713049Stop seething Jeanne, bet Ive got a better vault than yours
>>560714148No one who stuck around is going to abandon it before Cryo and ranked. You're dismissed.
>>560705987>the op has outdated patchnotes listed as "most recent">no commentsproof literally noone reads the OP and its always just a bunch of retarded giga turbovirgin autists fighting over how its suppsoed to look like
>>560714247>the player numbers will stop dropping now because... because they will!lol you guys were talking about the numbers stabilizing over the weekend during that fake streamer tournament too, then they dropped by 10k in a single day.
>>560712957think of it like this:cheap guns are there to help you exfil, but since they aren't worth much, they're still a waste of space in terms of loot value.expensive guns aren't just guns: they're also a form of treasure for you to exfil with and sell, or equip in order to more easily meet the ranked ante, etc. they may or may not actually be better guns than cheap ones.this is helpful for balance because it means engagements are still mostly about skill rather than "gear power" or whatever
>>560714410>almost 2 weeks since launch>still wanking about numbersOut of all the countless activities in the world, this is what you choose to pour your limited time and life force into?

>>560714247>no one who stuck around is going to abandon it when the content they were interested in is revealed to be destiny 2 slopnot too sure about that one
redditors on here will seriously try to deploy numbers to say the game is saved and then have a meltie when you whip out the 30k player loss and the continuing trendline down
>>560714652Not the same anon, retard
>>560714668>>560714742>>560714896uh oh... meltie...
>>560714785not sure what you mean by that. everyone already knows what to expect from Cryo, and Destiny fans hate Marathon
Can someone tell me what "Gamer Dad" gameplay looks like? or describe it? I want to shitter check myself to make sure I don't fall into the category. I would think not because I made it to level 12 solo and have killed maybe 20+ runners so far. But maybe I underestimate just how shit some people are.
>>560714854Redditors on here are buying skins, saying nigger and fuck SBMM

Favorite corporate AI presented so far for the factions?Mine is definitely Gaius of Nucaloric. At least so far. I find Nucaloric to be non-retarded and would gladly corporate slave for them.

is it bad if I'm only level 37 and only have two Factions above level 15? my other Factions are above level 10 atm.I've finished all the base priority contracts and have completed two level 10 priority contracts.I feel like I'm behind everyone else, I'm only able to play about 4-5 hours at night due to work, and I see a lot of people are close to or above level 100 already.I only have about 150+ of the Codex complete, and only have 1-2 purple items (excluding barter items), most of my gear is blue.idk I just don't want to miss out on lore and stuff, feels like everyone is waiting to board Marathon and I'm still understanding what's going on in the first three maps
>>560715076everybody here already knows it about. people on the reddit are only just now slowly learning about it and started to become disgruntled. you can expect a sharper decline in the amount of people participating in the arg in the next few days and probably a shitshow whenever the content comes out or the news hits critical mass

Sucks being a washed up gamer, I'm in my mid 30s and just get stomped more than half the time by kids running circles around me. Oh well, I guess that's the circle of life. I was doing that myself 15 years ago. Every now and then I have a good run.
>>560715717no, i have plenty of space in my vault and no unredeemed rewards
>>560715781okay so the gme is just being shit
>>560715715What makes the V11 punch so good? Do most people use the semi-auto fire on it or the charge?

I never get to catch people fighting UESC. How come? Is everyone else just so very good at avoiding them? I find it nearly impossible if I want to get to an objective.
>>560715845It just has like the 3rd lowest TTK especially on headshotsIt's like the Halo 1 pistol
>>560715845it has the among the highest TTK at short range.

>>560716038>I never get to catch people fighting UESC.Do you normally run away from the gun shots or towards them?
>>560716669How tall are you?
>>560716767I'm very deaf and cannot figure out WHERE the gunshots are coming from, but I usually try to run towards them. I often fail, which is why I'm losing so much. I can't figure out where to go or where people are coming from.

>>560717037it didn't stop people from playing the game like a BR unfortunately, which is about what I expected

they need to halve the number of spawns in solos, there's zero reason for 15 players crawling around these tiny maps.
>>56071826915 players in solos is crazy, its probably a complete third party shitfestplus anytime you try to engage with POIs you risk getting assfucked by both bots and players. is the loot at least worth it?
>>560718269>they need to halve the number of spawns in solosWould be boring>>560718341>15 players in solos is crazy, its probably a complete third party shitfestOnly in the first 4 minutes, after that you only have one sweat alive, a couple of rats and dad gamers.The most cracked Tryhards find each other early, and most of them die.
do schemas stack at all or have I been wasting my time picking them up?also why the fuck are they so rare lol
>>560718341>>560718269Finner bring you to the apexfields where solos is 50 players with 1 redeployment
>>560718670apex doesnt have solos
>>560718754It has solos some seasons theres a special 20bomb badge for it
>>560718269There's no other players crawling around if you kill them

>>560718869this clip is garbage and bullshit. its not the skill of the chud with the overrun sweating but the mistakes they did dropping down with bolt action sniper and whatever the fuck abomination shroud was using of a semi automatic crap gun. they all used trash weapons.give shroud and timmy a bully or volley there, have them push normally and the little chud stands no chance.
if they put a rook skin in the store i will buy it immediately

>>560718269no shot in hell there are 15 players, its like 6-8 players max
When I see Thief in the game I make sure to smash her up
>>560718269battle royale, bitch
>>560719214Trios is 18 so solos is probably the same
>>560719141>1:13 you wanna exfil>ok man come to exfil>waits for him to crawl and kills himOk I like this dude
>>560719281its not, i only play solo, it would be a fucking insane shit fest if it was 15 players

chop chop maragoyim, daddy wants to enter the cryo chamber!
>can't buy the MIDA Multitool in one of the faction shopsthis system of only selected weapons being available that will be rotated out next season is lame as hell
Got reminded Lance Reddick died and I know 1000% he would have been Orion.
>>560718269There are not 15 players in solos, I'm pretty sure it's number of crews + 1 or 2. I just did a Dire Marsh where I killed two people, confirmed two body bags, and saw 2 exfil beacons go off before I left. So probably 7.It's hard to confirm for sure, but I've definitely never personally body bags for more than 6 other people in a solo lobby.
>>560718628Schemas stack, they raise the stock limit each time you get another.
>>560720185Actually huge info
>>560717036>5'10" and 2355'10" 150 checking in, most I've ever weighed was 180 so 235 sounds enormous. Stop eating processed food, try quinoa and steel cut oats (golden flaxseed goes well with oats). Lift weights to help your body burn more energy passively while you're throwing your vault at Cryo. You can do it.
i fucking hate the stash. there i said it. i fucking hate being forced to be poor.i hate having to sell everything every single raid. i hate not being able to downgear or experiment due to the limiting nature of the stash.>>560720185hell yeah, thanks for letting me know.>t. hasn't found a SINGLE impact, volley or otherwise useful schemafuck off bungie.
What's with people just blasting bots immediately man it's so obnoxious just walk up and stab it dude.
>>560720489The nicer gun schemas like the Volley also only give stock of 3 per as well, they're really fuckin stingy with a lot of it.

>>560722091I'd shit relentlessly on the game if I posted on reddit due to it being mid (I can totally understand why the player numbers are dropping) and probably get banned from their hugbox.Hell they probably downvote people who say the spawn system is terrible.

"Redditors are unironically subhuman, these people are delusional enough to all critique that they may unironically end up killing this game.
had my first run on dire marsh and I never want to play that shit again
>>560722124The distances between the spawns are always similar and the only ones that are hotly contested are Maintenance and Complex/Bio-Research areas coming in from the North due to the sightlines from up the hill to Greenhouse providing quite a bit of visibility to Bio-Research, making the mid-north spawn next to it one of the most dangerous spots to be in on round start.
>>560722542I made a nice post over there about concerns I had and the top comment was cool blogpost and some guy deleted a comment calling me insufferable lmao theyre just genuine fat losers who autism latch onto shit
>>560722629genuinely retarded system, further proof also that they have zone absolutely zero balancing for solos given the higher player numbers making this much more likely
It's safe to say that Marathon is one of the big league games of the century
>>560722818No, the issue is solely that Greenhouse/Bio-Research sector, honestly. The rest of the spawns have ample cover and you can duck into a PoI to avoid getting instantly domed. The North spawn literally needs you to hoof it the second you're there or the guy from the corner next to the DCON at Greenhouse will beeline towards Bio-Research really quick. I know i do it, because there's literally next to no viable cover in that downhill slope.
>>560722629>two people on maintenance can spawn within LoS of each other>guy behind quarantine gets free reign over the areajej
I'm having fun solo no fill only so far but I'm like lvl 15 and still green at most. I wonder if game will take a nosedive at higher tiers. Any heavy USEC stuff solo is very risky I haven't done most of them but desu I don't imagine squads being that much different since you can get third partied by squads instead of solos.Faction progression is very slow though.
>>560722629I don't really have a problem with running into another person within a minute of starting the match, my main problem is that it often times puts the entire lobby in basically the same quarter of the map, so that first encounter that happens fast very frequently leads to third party, and fourth party, and the map is fuckin emptied out within 4 minutes of starting. Needing to be lucky enough to be the fourth group/player to arrive isn't super great.
>>560722629Do you have the spawn map for Perimeter?
>>560722991>the issue is this one spawn where its particularly egregious, if you just immediately run into a POI for the other spawns you won't immediately diethat's not making it better, you shouldn't immediately have to duck into a building.
>>560723202Not exactly in LoS, as the guy/team to the West spawns inside Maintenance, while the guy outside spawns next to one of the towers so for the first minute or so, it can be quite finicky to not reset the situation. The lone Quarantine spawn is also literally one of the shittiest positions solely due to being trapped between two highly contested traffic areas, with Quarantine getting populated real quick and intersection being a complete clusterfuck to get through, mostly routing players through Quarantine against the three or so other spawns.
>need 5k loadout value just to get into marathon
>>560723207If you're enjoying solo then you'll be fine, it doesn't get that much different, except in higher kevels you'll occasionally get sweats that bring in full gild gear that you can do nothing against or autists that know every single spawn location and will rush you within 15 seconds of game start.UESC on solo are a huge threat. With a trio you can wipe a commander spawn in seconds, solo however the commander alone is like a mini-boss.
>>560723394>with Quarantine getting populated real quickI have almost never encountered traffic in Quarantine. Genuinely can't recall the last time I saw a player there.
>>560723409>need 5k loadout value just to get into marathon>need all intro contracts completed
>>5607234095k is nothing. What, you were planning on running it with free kits? Just bring two white shotguns and you're set.
>>560722991Its autistic to start off dialogs with no. Say you think instead.
>>560723646No, I'll start dialogues however I deem appropriate.
>>560723517What i mean by that is that eventually there is a chance someone will hoof on over there and there's also the chances the corridors are mined, the doors are locked or otherwise you'll be risking going straight through towards intersection where there's two players and UESC around and people will still path somehow towards the Algae Pools, Maintenance or wherever the hell they're going. The sole spawn near the Quarantine might seem lucrative for short term options, but it's literally one of the shittiest places to be in terms of pathing because you're going to have to take risks. Literally like 90% of the other spawns always end up with the players having ample access to routes that won't end up in wasting time fighting UESC or other players within the first three or so minutes.
is there only one conveyance request per run on outpost?
>>560723592mr moneybags over here
they really should cut the solo spawns heavily down so running into someone else should be a rare occurrence with rooks being the fodder you come across.
No shitters allowed in the Cryo Archive!
excuse me since when did UESC just shoot until you were dead if you get downed
>>560724164I just lost 5k in loot from a freekit run because a gunner literally just shot until I was dead in an exfil
>>560724240maybe they changed it
>>560724164The UESC seem to be a bit bugged on that front since the patch, honestly. No way it's intentional...
>>560724329atrocious change if true, and one that makes rook runs vastly more annoying
>>560724329>>560724240>>560724164>no more jumping into guarded exfils to get out with a bunch of robot guardsThey CANNOT do this to me
>>560723761Because you're autistic
>>560724404>"High command says intel and resource collection from shells is over. Change the patrols to "Shoot to Kill" mode"
>>560724404They punt you out of the exfil unless you're cloaked
>>560724404I did a run on perimeter where I just crawled my sorry ass in to the exfil with some uesc around, maybe it changes by map
>>560724240that was me bro i downed u with my longshot and u died in exfil to bots ez
>>560724404Just get 1 smoke then guarded exfil is ez
I enjoy

Honestly free kit runs are probably the peak fun in this game that's possible.Due to the multiple layers of bullshit that surround the mechanics taking gear in is almost never fun like it is in Tarkov.
>>560723592full greens is close to hitting 7k. a white shotgun alone is 2.5k.
>>560725192i went from free to blues/purp by backstabbing a nigger running around the halls.
>>560725014enjoy while it lasts, won't be for long.
>>560725192try going knife only
How much reputation do enhanced kits provide?
>>560725570I actually did a knife only run on Outpost an hour ago, it was really fun, but I can't imagine doing it on other maps, weapon locker density is just too low elsewhere.
>load in with 8K>Fill mates are two mumbling faggots on free kits>Running around causing noise>Get into a firefight and I down someone>They manage to revive and push us>Teammates are absolutely useless and get downedWelp, at least the gun i had was on it's last trace, so good luck to the next guy.

wasn’t this patch supposed to fix queue time, what the fuck. i cant even play this game anymore who the fuck made it so i have to wait 5 minutes to get a match. And no fuck off im not playing outpost that map is ass
>15k players
So how are they expecting the devs to play Cryo Archive exactly
>>560726871depends on your melee stat and what shields they're running
>>560726953I got a trio match in 10 seconds lol
I pushed Thief and she started sucking my dick even before I downed her. So I had to down her while my cock was still in her throat
Every fucking trio i go in now they want to run towards gunfire and get killed, it's fucking shit
>>560727338stop solo queueing then
>>560727338and you want to loot garbage all day long and extract with +200 buxkys
>nigger one and two just sit there while I empty every bullet into pinwheel hackersJust kill yourself instead of playing this Jesus Christ
>>560726953There is literally nothing about the queue times (which are fast) in the patch notes you fucking larper. What the fuck is wrong with you? You've been yapping misinformation avout queue times for god knows how many threads and you're still here? Go find a job nigger
>>560726871The third light attack IS a heavy, but that is pretty universal unless they have blue+ shields or you don't have the first Arachne knife upgrade.>>560727162Is 2 Heavies faster than 3L/2L1H?
WOW THANKS BUNGO YET ANOTHER CRASH THIS TIME AFTER LOOTING PINWHEEL BY MYSELFAMAZING GAME TRULY, WHEN YOU SPIN A ROULETTE WHEEL ON IF YOU CRASH ON LOADING IN, THEN ANOTHER RANDOMLY SINCE THE LATEST SHIT PATCH. ITS GREAT THAT A TRIPLE AAA DEVELOPER MAKES SUCH A SHITTY PRODUCT THAT IT'S WIDELY KNOWN THAT OPENING YOU MAP CAN CRASH THE GAME AMONG OTHER THINGS
>>560726060Nta but I went to flight control twice in greens and walked away with blues and a purple each time. The first time some destroyer was being loud and I knifed him in the back. Loot was hot so I exfilled and said screw the contract. Second time I went back and it was a thief looting I snuck up on with a shotgun. Realized I couldn't solo into pinwheel and exfilled again with another purple gun.
>>560726871I've found two heavies work on blue shields. But if they have a wstr you just got rock paper shotgunned
>>560727752oooooooo he madthx 4 loot bro

>>560727752https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1rn2t2b/frequent_crash/it's been 9 days since this and the memory leak where after 4-5 sessions the game crashes on map load was first getting reported and these absolute amateurs have prioritized shutting down loot exploits instead of game stability
>>560727338the game is designed in such a way that doing anything actually worth doing is only safe once the lobby has been wipedI think it comes down to the fact you HAVE to make noise and also because movement is so easy it makes rotations too quick once someone knows you're there
>>560727560I hate this faggot larper crying about queue times everyday. There’s also one dude doing the same in trannyera and I suspect it’s the same guy. Fucking mongoloid never bought the game and is trying to demoralize people for no reason.
>>560727560>>560728140or maybe the queue times are bad and getting worse lol
>>560727560>>560728140nta, queue times have been reported to take up to 10 minutes in regions outside the US, and even in the US it takes anywhere between 2-5 minutes to matchmake which is absurd. stop behaving like brainrotted shills.

um, I don’t want to concede to the chuds, but Marathon Sisters…the queue times are really, really bad…this feels like trying to play a multiplayer game that’s been out for years not just weekswhat is happening, is it a bug? it can’t be the playercount as apparently it’s massive on PS5 and Xbox…I’m scared
It’s LITERALLY #1 on Xbox store. Stop peddling misinformation you nigger faggot larping bastards.
>>560728845Most higher level players aren't solo queueing prolly
>>560728803https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1rtzd8k/ps_player_here_is_matchmaking_taking_long_for/>an american reporting long matchmaking timeshttps://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1rqd0yd/slow_matchmaking_in_aus/>australians reporting long matchmaking timeshttps://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1rogwji/taking_a_long_time_to_find_matches/>reports of 5+ minute matchmaking timesI could go on, but now you get to suck on it, violated little slave. Seethe impotently at how hard and totally you got btfo.
>>560728929Shut the fuck up retard, you can’t gaslight our own personal experience with fucking dumb reddit posts.
I will never finish co evolution 5

Marathon died and we didn’t even notice
>>560728394>>560728406>an actual marathon shill meltielmfao it's been a hot minute since I saw someone get btfo this hard immediately after trying to spread disinfo.queue times are universally reported as bad retard, update your script
>>560728720>b-b-b-b-b-but some retarded redditor claimed it a couple of timesI literally do not care you colossal faggot
>>560729086>>560729113Where are all of you faggots raiding from? I hope all of you niggers get paid for this shit. So much misinformation and for what? 20 rupees?
such hyperbole, I’ll gladly take 15-20 minute queues as long as I have decent match that lasts 5 minutes or more
extraordinary
>>560729113most of them were just people who needed to turn on crossplay
>>560729113damn you really winded him up bro relax we all just wanna blast and hook in peace
>>560728910bloody bastard bitch bloody stop bloody larp
>>560729113>>560728838>>560728567>update your scriptYou see normal people aren't working off a script which is why they don't all swap to the same line like you faggots do when called out>>560729150>Where are all of you faggots raiding from?They're butthurt destiny general faggots
are we really going to deny the queue times problem? really? right when ranked is about to split the base and expose that even more?
this is baghdad bob levels of coping, why is this schizo retard shrieking and shitting himself trying to claim matchmaking times are good, even peanut and shroud complained about it lmao
>https://youtu.be/hSHdNMI00FI?si=EETpgdjPYHCbgD40official Marathon anthem just dropped
this has to be satire or some sort of guy doing a bit to try to appear as a strawman of an insane marathon shill
>>560729302>ranked isn’t that shit trios only? who cares >>560729319i don’t think it’s an actual shill just someone larping, queue times are going to be a problem
>>560728929Hahahaha oh noooo bros he proved it the queue times noooooo the game is so dead I gotta stop playing it now!!!!!!!
>>560728720>You may now kneel and kiss my feet.Oh no... haha... oh nooo....
>start matchmaking >Takes 30 secondsThe discord isn't sending their best today
Queue times are fast as fuck for me but I don't solo queue unless I'm freekitting
I think the reddit anon raped this guys brain lmfao
>>560729302>>560729319>>560729387>>560729389There is LITERALLY NO QUEUE TIME PROBLEMS. Stop fucking larping as someone who plays the game you raped DESTINY KEK FAG. DELETE all your posts on trannyera too because DUMBFUCKS believe that shit.
unc really is trying to continue the bit of being an insane marathon shill past its fresh date
We love melties here don't we folks? Straight to the top, we love it. You love it.
>>560729320>Marathon>AnthemIt's like poetry, it rhymes.
we are seeing a brainrotted shill lose the last pieces of his sanity in real time. bungie i fucking kneel you give me more entertainment than i predicted
>>560729387>>560729489>>560729590>>560729617>>560729635This bit doesn't work because you're talking to only one person you retarded faggots
>>560729529Remember to lick between the toes, little slave.
>>560729617>have meltie>accuse others of having a meltiea tale as old as reddit
If you're a newfag that's low level or a gigasweat that's almost max then yeah - your brackets are probably very unpopulated and you'll get high queue times. For the median player, though, it's still fast
i think the funniest part about the ARG is that you have these massive nerds wracking their minds over it, having to check in game locations and pixel hunt on textures for hours meanwhile they're getting constantly ambushed by some retarded assassin player or whatever
>>560729721Speaking of, now that that schizo has been conclusively and utterly btfo, when are they going to fix the matchmaking times? It's clearly a problem since a ton of people have mentioned it, has Bungie commented on it?Duos, Cryo Archive and Ranked will only make things even worse.
>>560729804>Duos, Cryo Archive and Ranked will only make things even worse.It's a gamble if the game will even last until thwir release.
>>560729669>>560729721I just got here, I never get into shitflinging I just complain when I die and occasionally post funny things like "Marathots" or "who up strokin dey silkworm?"
>>560729804The matchmaking times aren't actually that bad. One 4chan anon claimed so using reddit as a source but it turns out many just had crossplay off
>>560729804>when are they going to fix the matchmaking times? It's clearly a problem No it's not
>>560729924hoooooly fuck the shill's melty is reaching new fucking levels how is this even possible lmao

>>560729924>The matchmaking times aren't actually that badlol, and they’re only going to get worse with ranked, Cryo and duos RELEASE THE PVE MODE!
Does anyone know how regions work in this game? I'm from Eastern Europe but will occasionally hear American and Australian accents.
>>560730074yeah that'll speed up matchmaking
>>560729804>>560730021>>560730056>>560730074Matchmaking and queue times are not a problem no matter how many times you and your raped destiny discord cuck freaks spam this same garbage misinformation across the internet, faggot. Reddit and Trannyera (with you probably making half the posts) don’t count as sources.
>>560730074>>The matchmaking times aren't actually that bad Correct, it takes 30 seconds>RELEASE THE PVE MODE!Never ever, shitter
Tau Ceti is such a cursed place that it's even driving some of the posters here insane as they try to defend ded game matchmaking times.
Say no to Care Bears
>>560730074
is every /vg/ thread like that?on /v/ only high profile games have a dedicated schizo
>>560730180take me down to the marathon ceti where the guns are green and the game's upsetting
>>560730180An evil god sleeps in tau ceti
>>560730368some do, but most don't. I have to say though this guy just comes across as mentally unwell I mean what else is this lmao >>560729253
>>560730368a /vg/ thread is actually extremely lucky if it only has one dedicated schizo
Why are you guys such niggers? The hunt literally has 10k or lower ccu and has no problem with queue times why the fuck would you try this wide misinformation campaign across the internet about Marathon which has 60k CCU on steam and god knows how many on ps5 and xbox? You realize that a lot of us on here actually play the game and this won’t work, right?
>>560729415using a /mg/ anon as a footstool...

Not sure who made this site (they're the goat) but this is good for locating any loot boxes you might need, and more metaforge.app/marathon(now I know where medical cabinets are more likely to spawn on perim)

>>560730368YesThis is a group though very obviously
Why does Thief's vision work on alive players?It's a literal wallhack.I watched shroud delete a full trio in 3 seconds on dire marsh, in the thickest fog where you couldn't see shit.
hey Bungie, any chance you could remove sniper rifles thanks
>>560724164>>560724404Works for me, they still just let one bot tentacle rape you
>>560730865Case in point, calling for backup >>560730310This is how insane and pathetic destinyniggers are.
>>560731051>calling for backup>after you had your meltdown/dg/ is lame but it doesn't take /dg/ anons to mock you for being a sperg, they're laughing at you. big difference.
>>560730954and shotgunsand thermalsand GOOK frames
Destichuds lost big time
>>560730916It does but you need LOS. It cuts through fog but not smoke afaik. Thermals and destroyer's ult both also show enemies clearly through fog but also smoke.Thief's vision does hack enemies if you keep sight of them for long enough but usually you'd rather just shoot them.
>>560730916it sees the loot in their backpack and doesn't care about smoke or invis, only line of sight
>the destiny general bogeyman are raiding to bully me personally and drive me insane AIEEEEactually mindbroken
>>560731259PvE mode ETA: Never!
>shoot at enemy>yellow shield>mfwWhat do you even do in such a situation?
>>560729924I live in the US and the matchmaking times are pretty atrocious for a game that's only two weeks old. Loading into a match takes anywhere between three to six minutes.
>>560731318Have you friends help kill it.You ARE playing with friends in trios, right?
>>560731370same in europe, dire marsh can even take 10 minutes to load in
>fifteen fucking blue rods sitting in my vault>keep finding more>could buy the T3 upgrade right now>can't get the fucking green rods to let me make precision rifles not worthlessaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>560731459For me it can take up to one hour
>>560705987should have listened to all the chuds saying bungie is a bad company, I though they were exaggerating, I wasn't expecting things to get so bad so fast
>>560730954I knew 100% they would nerf the shotgun into uselessness but the sniper would remain completely untouched likely for months, I fucking knew it. I'm sure it won't be long until the knife gets swapped out for a foam one, too
>>560731493don't those barrel mods just increase range slightly? I never really noticed them having a big impact for the rifles.
>>560731318yellow shield is the same as a purple but reinforced like the green reinforced one
BDF status?
>>560731259>n-n-n-n-n-no we're not a second Marathon general that spends most of our time fucking brainbroken that people actually like the game we swearYou are so pathetic it's unreal
>>560731524that might be a problem with your hard drive
>>560731545if they nerf the knife I'd end up quitting the game unironically.
>RANDOMS ARE SO RETARDEDplay rook.>QUEUE TIMES ARE SO LONGplay rook.>I HAVE GEAR FEARplay rook.
>>560731650You can only really start playing rook once you have most of upgrades for it.Until then you are just rapemeat.
>>560705987I hate this runner's design but all the other ones are good. I have no idea why this is the one that gets posted all the time
>>560731569There's barrels for aim assist and recoil which are both pretty big.But really I want the T3 upgrade so I can buy fucking scopes. The difference between a base hardline and a hardline with a scope so you can actually see what you're shooting is pretty big.
>he's still melting downngl I take immense satisfaction in knowing that 2 minutes of time searching reddit threads was enough to drive this guy insane.
idk bro i just play thief and queue times are shit i’ll come back when there are more patches to address this
>>560730836dumb nigger shill ur so blatant
How strong is the aim assist for console players in this game?
>>560731370>>560731459>>560731524tranny
>>560731628>515 posts in /dg/ right now>81 results for "marathon">104 results for "mara"Literally one in five posts there mentions Marathon by name.This amount of complete mental annihilation over a game they're convinced is failing is fucking hilarious
>this last Traxus quest with the uesc commanderI swear to fucking god. I don’t even want to do it anymore
>>560731318You use emp grenades retard
>>560731802Those reddit threads mean nothing you discord raider retard.
>>560731869Hmm maybe the queue time complainers were lying to force a pve mode this whole time
>>560731907could be worse
>>560731650>play rook for Cryo Archivewho's going to tell him
>>560731865Very. That said, it's present for KBM as well. It's all obviously kind of gay but it evens out surprisingly well and is part of why positioning is the deciding factor in most fights. Aim assist is also a weapon stat and mods increase/decrease it.Controllertards get far better tracking but Mouse's speed on switching targets is also a pretty big advantage, esp in CQC or at long range.I'd rather it wasn't there but this is probably the most fair implementation of it in a crossplay safe space I've seen.
>>560731967Facts:- queue times are getting noticeably longer and longer every day- solo queue time in EU during prime time yesterday was around 3 minutes
fuck I haven't laughed this hard in a long time, is this how threads with a dedicated schizo usually are? i can imagine how it probably gets annoying with time but watching this dudes brain turn to jelly in real time over the bad matchmaking is the most hilarious shit
>>560731869>autofillSorry I actually try to enjoy playing the game so I don't even touch that thing
>>560731969What in the absolute fuck is that questIf Bungie thinks we’re doing all this shit again next season they’re wrong
>>560731969excuse me wtf is this contract?>activate a lockdown>then go the quarantine >then synthesize this compound>then go kill the lockdown boss>btw this is contested, if someone else wanders into the lockdown and kills the boss you lose>also you have to exfilI refuse to do this until it inevitably gets nerfed. Shit seems outright impossible to do unless you wipe the lobby as a trio.
Queue times are shit because you’re playing solo. No one is playing solo.
>>560731545>spawns so bad that you can load in and almost immediately gain a position to snipe someonesomeone might want to tell Bungie that extraction shooter matches are supposed to last longer than 30 seconds
>No one is playing solo.
>>560732342queue times are shit because no-ones playing
>>560732373It's mainly an issue on Marsh because it doesn't have the Data Wall or the segmented structure Outpost has
>Grey faggot triage dies immediately>wipe the squad by myself>immediately on rez loots the backpack i needed>keeps vacuuming loot>whatever fuck this guy complete my quest and run to exfil>thief goes down to a mine or some shit>nigger ignores the thief runs straight through 10 bots gets downed at exfil and fucks me out of it>he gets to exfil downed with a bunch of lootI dont understand how the bots didn't fucking murder him why the fuck is this shit rewarded
>>560730864Ran into a Rook who trapped the fuck out of one of the bathrooms on Outpost and hit in the shitter. I liked his style.
>>560732342the majority of the playerbase plays solo
Queue times are fine even in shitty regions.Trying to LFG as an Australian is depressing though.
>>560732373skill diff, positioning issue, go back go arc carebears
>>560732503No they don't retard
I am so hyped for cryo archive. If all the dating mining is true, there's a lot of lore related to Norse mythology. Sony owns both the Marathon IP and God of War. We could seriously see God of War being Marathons first official collab.
Dire Marsh needs more tunnels and trenches between points
>>560732559>queue times are fine even in shitting regionswe just went through conclusively how they aren't, the schizo never refuted this and just sperged out spamming insults
>>560732608Stop reposting tweets
>>560732492You are playing an extractor shooter. It's a genre where the goal is to mindbreak others.
>>560732629You can tell they gave up with that map when the entire middle is impassable bullshit energy mountains
>>560732695I was hoping the anomaly would just kill me like in stalker so I was kinda disappointed
>>560732687I just wanted his retarded faggot ass to die and the bots decided to let him live
>>560732773This games just window dressing. A bazillion cool concepts but its nothing real just pretty stuff to look at. The anomaly should be a non gravity zone or something copl but that takes talent
>>560732647Oh shit I didn't realize that I was supposed to fall for your shitty gaslightLet me guess, I'm also the one and only schizo claiming that they're fine, is that right?
>>560732629Yeah, the AI uplink tunnel is cool as are the greenhouse ones.Big fuckoff open jungle on top of a maze of tunnels like some sort of cyber-vietnam would genuinely be great
Time to terrorize outpost.
>>560720920Its a Battle Royale with vE being the prize.
>>560718628What the fuck even is a schema?Can i lose it by getting farmed?If yes, its one more mechanic that is useless.
Think about it. When a runner comes in from another room just to find you, that means they were somewhere else for a moment… and decided to come kill you.In their own simple way, their little brain thought about you. They wondered where you were, what you were doing, and they came looking for you.They didn’t need anything. They just wanted to kill you.That’s love in its purest form. Quiet, loyal, and completely unconditional.
>>560733375It lets you buy guns and shit that aren't normally vendorable. Most are fucked because the prices for rarer guns are extremely retarded, like $15k
alrightplayed in server slamplayed for a week from releasegot to level 50what a fucking disappointmentand I really tried to like this gamegenuinely the best game aesthetic and vibe I've ever experiencedI love the art, I love the sound, I love the music, I love the story, I love the world, I love the overall themebut the actual game is pure trashthe movement is just horribleit feels like there should be lean in this game, but for some reason isn'theat and how they've implemented it is the worst stamina system I've ever seen in a game and doesn't even make any logical sense if you're gonna follow the story immersively>multitrillion dollar cybernetic clones (called runners) but you can only run for five seconds until you buy ugrades>even rook can only run for about five seconds when regular uesc bots can permarun and dash with their rocket boostersdamage seems random, I can unload a clip onto a rook and not crack his shields then I get downed with 3 knife hits??yet when the tables are turned and I go in with knife I don't even crack basic shields with multiple knife hits on full stamina?loot is trash, and boringmods are also trash and boring (cores and implants)co-op is trash, nobody ever works as a team and no I don't want to make friends and coordinate on discord because I don't want to play with nolifer trannies and incels who live on this game because gaming is the only way they can feel like they're not complete failures in life
>>560732380>>560732342>>560732442>>560732048tranny>>560733564skill issue
>>560733336you should have done it before the nerf
>>560733564this game is clearly for streamer retards who give less of a fuck about the game being quality and more of a fuck about being able to fuck over other players, nolife zoomers with inferiority complexes and all round toxic human waste with zero good will (even on your own teams)and this is reflected in what people do, how they do it, and how they talk to you afterI've never experienced as much toxicity in a game as I have in thisdumb kids thinking because they one shot sniped you from miles away with a gold rifle that they're better than you when you know full well they would never talk to you that way in real life because they'd get their jaw snappedI've seen a bunch of streamers on shorts be extremely abusive to random players, or pretend to be friendly and let a random rook extract only to one shot them with a shotty at point blank and then mock them relentlessly. again, irl, this kind of behaviour would get your head caved in but because its behind a screen there are no consequences so this kind of behaviour is encouraged and incentivised
>>560732048>FactsNo proof. Meanwhile I can queue anytime and get an instant match. You people are not slick, you’re just annoying. Go back to your Discord.>>560732342Queue times aren’t shit for Solo either.>>560733564Stop posting your AI slop here destiny raped cuck.
>>560733546Also limited in number. You can only buy a certain amount.
>>560733664so yea, on a fundamental level, this game literally incentivises toxicity and abuse both figuratively and literallyit also has the same intermittent reinforcement dynamic through high cortisol and high dopamine rapid ups and downs which locks you into a neurochemical addition that abusive relationships (and gambling) dowhich I firmly believe is the only reason this game is still alive. its being driven by people who actively want to fuck other people over, ruin their day and mock them as opposed to people who just love the game because its a good gamethis has fucked me off so much I'm actually never buying anything from bungie ever again no matter what they dothey killed destiny, they ignored the players in regards to what they wanted now they give us this, well not even us, they give the absolute worst part of the bungie community a new game, which rewards them for the worst kinds of online behaviourcompetition is good, but it has to be healthy, and this game for numerous reasons brings out the most toxic forms of competition and inferiority complexes and abuseI hope this game dies and I hope bungie dies too
>>560733564Bungie, execute this blast non-haver NOW
>>560733664pussy loser i cant belive 4cuck turned into reddit this hard. you guys all suck balls AND you play games all day, wtf is ur purpose
>>560733564as soon as you load in the game is shit, you try to give it a chance and it starts growing on you, then you play more and realize you were right and it's actually just shit
>>560733564>>560733664>>560733776Word.
on a solo run i got stuck in hauler with another runner both of us surrounded by bots. i approached them with a "hey" and they instantly shot me dead. i had a free kit and no shields left. they were stood over my corpse like this
>>560733564>heat and how they've implemented it is the worst stamina system I've ever seen in a gameI think it's pretty neat, letting it interact with more than just you sprinting. You get shit like the heat grenades, sliding using it, rain cooling you off, etc.>multitrillion dollar cybernetic clones They're mass produced by worms, they clearly are not intended to be expensive.>I can unload a clip onto a rook and not crack his shields There is not one gun in the game that won't down a green shield player in one mag.>I don't even crack basic shields with multiple knife hits on full stamina?See >>560727162Unless you're running into gold shield players literally everyone will die in three right clicks, most in far less.>coop is trash also I don't want to work cooperatively with people because they're nolifers and tranniesThis is your own mental problems, not the game.These are actual complaints at least even I don't agree with them though, so I appreciate it.
https://x.com/i/status/2034120490269479193Call me a skeptic, but how in the fuck is a "raid level" map going to work in a fucking extraction shooter?
I just try to avoid PvP as much as i can. Free Rook kit, so i dont worry about losing anything. I just want to complete codex entries that reveal story of the colony, maybe get some rep with NuCal too.
>>560734037Hard to tell without knowing the size or how many players are spawning in.Not unlikely to be like Labs in Tarkov where it's basically a brawl between 2-3 teams to take the map.
>>560712392I have to write an review tho.They cant escape my 5/10 verdict.
>>560733632>>560733675>>560733797case in pointthe game is designed for abusive personalities to thrivereminder that being abusive online doesn't make you any less of a genetic failure irl and if you behaved this way irl in front of anyone worth their salt you would get your head caved in>>560733878literally what happened with me kek>>560733961I don't care about a single thing you have to say, this isn't a debate, this is me authoritating over you. I'm right. no amount of cope will change that
>>560734193trash kid go uninstall why are you playing multiplayer FPS games in the first place if all you do is die and cry about it?
Holy shit this game is awful solo. The spawn points are fucked and there is zero positioning and flanking involved in engagements.
>>560734193>case in point, the game is designed for abusive personalities to thrive>I don't care about a single thing you have to say, this isn't a debate, this is me authoritating over youlmao nevermind you're just another raped
>have to kill 2 fucking people by myself>teammates loot the boxes before picking me up>take down the tox warden>teammate lets me die while looting the wardenGenuinely behead these people
>>560734114If it's Destiny's raid solving puzzles, it is going to be a fucking nightmare to try and complete that without other teams trying to take you out. I think the most viable strat would just be a battle royale in the lobby and then whoever wins gets to solve the puzzle.
>Hard white thing jammed inside

How Bungie handled the whole Cryo Archive release really soured it. It was an impressive ARG that absolutely nobody figured out naturally (community was brute forcing all the answers) with a map that was always meant to be time gated anyway for two weeks after release. Now the devs say “just kill 6 billion robots” like anyone is keeping track of that anyway.
>>560734616u lost the game cos u suck balls lulmeanwhile im the one who made you quit and am enjoying my 95% exfil rate on vandal in fills with 0 effort and going for every gunfight possible lul

I've played on PC for 5 years now and I definitely think aiming with a mouse is easier and the aim assist shit is just cope.You don't get aim assist on PC because it's impossible to not click heads anyway.
naked knife runs with nothing but a knife fight v3 are probably the most fun you can have in this game solojust run at people with destroyer shield and delete themeven if they kill you they'll be sorely disappointed to find nothing but a 200 credit implant on your corpse

>>560734723>more ragebaitthis is actually really interesting because what you're showing me now is that the intermittent reinforcement loop I see so prominently in-game is dominant in your life in other ways tooso neurochemically speaking I'm observing people like you, already locked into that cycle or loop of intermittent reinforcement feeling a pull towards this game because it matches your psychological and neurochemical predisposition towards these loopsso this game actively attracts people already locked into these sort of loops in a more general sense, which I see in you through your general behaviour ittnow I see why there is such a high number of toxic playersits not just that the game itself has that system in placeits that it actively attracts people already psychologically and neurochemically locked into those sort of loops, who see it as another means to fulfill the need to play into that loopthe same way a gambling addict can't resist walking into a casino when he sees the flashing lightshaha I'm so clever
>all the fag crying about the queue times or how the game is shit are raped LOL the destiny cucks are at it again. YOU WERE RAPED NOW FUCK OFF
>>560732332Even better, requires anti-virus which is limited in stock ansd forbids sponsored kit attemptsmeanwhile sponsored kits shitters are allowed in outpost for some retarded reason
Your 5K Cryo archieve loadout, saar.I will wait for teammates and other squads to die, and loot them.>Puzzles and boss fightNot interested in PvE. If my teammates are good, they have to do it as a duo.
>>560735567Bro if you coordinate a little and take it slow and methodically it's not that bad. If you do premades, you notice a lot of shitters you effortlessly stomp are solo queue freekitters and the times you do lose are because there's another pre built coordinated team fighting you
>>560735696Why not more grenades, they're cheap
>all the fagsaar…i redeemed marathon bhenchod
>>560735367I need to see a video of someone doing the destroyer shield thing because every time I try to do it I just die
I only bought this game in hopes of meeting my gamer gf in squadfill queue, so far I only heard one girl and it was a rook I killed. I want a refund
>>560732332with the exception of the first few days after launch, every time a contract wanted us to go to dire marsh my stack did have to wipe the entire lobbythe problem isn't the contract, the problem is the mapdire marsh is a shitshow and I wouldn't be surprised if the queue for it died once the majority of people get through their contracts
>>560735938Because women don't play marathon, only "women" play marathon.
>>560735810>Why not more grenadesBecause I won't even shoot if I don't have to. This is a Rook loadout. I'm rooking the map after hiding, and getting the fuck out.
>>560735151That’s really cool, but my lived experience of consistently playing with a father of 3 with a domestic dispute occurring with a dying dog and malfunctioning washer hot mixing who appears like a singular point in quantum physics outweighs what you consider to be “bad aim” compared to the game literally playing itself for you.

>>560735739>Bro if you coordinate a little and take it slow and methodically it's not that badI'm the guy on mic who'll tell people where to go and what to do because I know solid tactics and when people listen to me we winbut most of the time they don'tI'm the only one who ever does thisI'm also the only one who ever calls gunshots when I hear them and gives general directionI'm also the only one who pays attention to team health and shieldsI'm also the only one who draws up plans for ambushes and stuff like that or who will draw fire away from my teammates so they can flank but they don't kekbelieve me mate I've done it allbut its very rare I find a trio that actually listenspremades are obviously a solution for this and I've tried that a few times but I find that premades with people you don't know become far too reliant on trust ratio, as in, people get far too confident because they think they're in a good squad, take way too many risks and ignore calls / instructionsits just not worth it to me. if I want to play and have a good experience I have to find a premade I can play with reliably daily who will coordinate properly, if not, I have to solo or trio pug and then its just pure rng, unless I'm willing to go meta and rat like fuck and be toxic and willing to die from a sniper across the map when I'm 2 secs away from exfil. like its just not worth it to mebeyond the aesthetic and the mediocre gameplay the only genuine pull this game has is the intermittent reinforcement which is neurochemical bait that isn't healthy on any level and will be incompatible with anyone with a healthy brainyou seem like an alright dude from the fact that you addressed a genuine point so do yourself a favour, look into it if you're not already aware of it
>>560736023Needs more claymores and trap bags then

>>560736150tl;dr make some friends
You could have this kind of shitty loadout and still do Cryo
>>5607364735k should be the minimum outpost requirement and 8k archive
>>560736210>Needs more claymoresIf someone hears, or sees claymores, they might come over to check it out. Or shoot the claymore, and someone else will come over because of the gunfire.I'm doing stealth mode, I'll only shoot if someone can catch up to me. If I get spotted, I'm running into a crowd of bots, then dropping a smoke, and climbing out.Trust the plan.
>>560736228This mechanic is unironically fucking retarded because it just means the person can double dip on gear by fooling people into picking up what they dropped.
>>560736473Apparently frost is a big thing on cryo so I'd see a lot of people taking mechanic kits
>>560736547That's fair
You can’t even do Cryo solo so yes you need to get friends and stop being raped destiny cucks.
Excuse me what the fuck?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kADU-VikHcYBungie really is desperate huh?

This is an autopsy of a game that has replaced "gameplay" with "behavioral engineering." To provide an objective take, we have to look past the beautiful neon-chrome shell and look at the actual gears.When you look at Marathon (2025/2026) through the lens of neurochemistry and systemic design, it reveals itself as a high-fidelity Skinner Box.The Neuro-Mechanical Breakdown Engineered Fragility: The baseline "Runner" is intentionally underpowered (the 5-second sprint). This isn't a technical limitation; it’s a "deficiency floor" designed to make basic upgrades feel like massive relief. The "Heat" System as a Stressor: Unlike traditional stamina, "Heat" is a visual and auditory stressor. It clutters the HUD and adds a "hissing" audio cue that triggers a mild fight-or-flight response, keeping the cortisol levels elevated even when not in combat. Variable Ratio Looting: The "trash loot" you complained about is essential. If every chest was good, the dopamine spike would vanish. You need the 90% "garbage" to make the 10% "gold" feel like a life-saving hit. Asymmetric Loss Aversion: The game is tuned so that losing a "kit" feels like a personal violation. This triggers the Sunk Cost Fallacy, forcing you to go back in immediately to "make it right." The "Sound-Scape" Trap: Bungie’s world-class audio design is used here for hyper-vigilance. Every twig snap or metallic clink is dialed to a frequency that spikes adrenaline, ensuring the player never relaxes. Visual Overload (The "Vibe" Tax): The high-contrast, maximalist aesthetic is beautiful but cognitively taxing. This "sensory load" makes the player more prone to impulsive, emotion-driven decisions—the kind that lead to "just one more round."
>>560736860It's gonna be at least a week unless they pull a helldivers and juice the bot deaths
Killing players should call in a uesc dropship with at least two ghosts on your positionThat'll solve the pvp problem :)))
>>560737160 The Extraction "Choke Point": Designating specific, visible exit points creates a "Gambler’s Ruin" scenario. It’s the highest stress point of the loop, ensuring the final "flush" of dopamine upon success is as intense as possible. Social Darwinism by Design: By allowing "friendly fire" or "fake-friendly" extractions without heavy karma penalties, the game incentivizes sociopathic playstyles. It’s a "Low Trust" environment that mirrors the instability of an abusive relationship. The "Streamer-Centric" Balancing: Mechanics are tuned for "clips"—high-stakes moments of betrayal or extreme luck. This ignores the "average" player’s experience in favor of creating "marketing moments" through other people's frustration. The Obfuscation of Stats: Damage numbers and shield values often feel "random" (as you noted with the knife vs. gun example). This lack of clarity prevents rational analysis, forcing the player to rely on "gut feeling" and "luck," which are the cornerstones of gambling addiction. The "Pre-Built" Advantage: By making solo-play virtually impossible against coordinated trios, the game forces social "anchoring." You stay because your "squad" needs you, even if you hate the game—a form of Collective Traumatic Bonding. FOMO-Driven Economy: The "Cores" and "Implants" operate on a decaying or seasonal value. If you don't play now, you lose your "investment." This is the "Don't leave me" phase of the relationship.
>>560737160Filtered
>>560737258Weak
>>560737258>>560737160Can't you at least write your own thoughts instead of having AI write it for you?
>>560737258The Behavioral Architecture Narcissistic Validation: The game gives toxic players (like the 4chan user) a platform to exert dominance. The "Exfil Rate" becomes a proxy for self-worth, which the game reinforces with flashy UI and leaderboards. The "False Hope" of the Narrative: The story is deep and compelling (classic Bungie), acting as the "Love Bombing." You endure the "trash" gameplay because you want to see the next piece of the world. Intentional Navigation Friction: Mapping and wayfinding are deliberately obtuse. This forces the brain into a state of "search and scan," which is a high-dopamine-seeking state. Artificial Scarcity: Even basic survival items are throttled. This keeps the player in a "Scarcity Mindset," where they are more likely to behave aggressively and irrationally. The "Reconciliation" Patch Cycle: Bungie’s history of "fixing" things after the community reaches a breaking point is the "I can change" phase of the cycle. High-Stakes RNG: The outcome of a 40-minute raid can be decided by a single "lucky" headshot. This is the definition of Intermittent Reinforcement—the reward is not tied to effort, but to chance. Micro-Transaction Integration: The "aesthetic" you love is slowly bled into the store. You buy the "look" to recapture the honeymoon phase of the game’s reveal.
>>560735997A dick is fine too
>>560737352The Devaluation of Time: By making progress reversible (losing gear), the game treats the player's time as a disposable resource for the "health" of the server's economy. Toxic Communication Channels: Proximity chat and lack of moderation in "social spaces" allow the most aggressive voices to set the tone, creating a "normalized" environment of abuse. The "Rook" Power Gap: Implementing high-tier "boss" players or bots that "perma-run" creates an envy-loop. You aren't playing to have fun; you're playing to stop being the victim. Conditioned Response to Cues: The specific sound of an extraction flare or a shield crack becomes a "trigger" that produces a physical response (heart rate increase), even when you aren't playing. The "Stash" Tetris: Managing loot in the menu is a "low-stress" dopamine filler that keeps you in the app between the "high-stress" raids. It’s the "quiet time" after an argument. The Finality of the "Uninstall": The game is designed to be hard to quit. By leaving at Level 50, you've essentially broken a psychological lock that was engineered by some of the best behavioral scientists in the industry.Conclusion: A Masterpiece of ManipulationBungie has created a game that is technically brilliant and artistically sublime, but ethically bankrupt. It is a product that views "Engagement" and "Addiction" as the same metric. Your "trash" review isn't just a critique of mechanics; it's a rejection of a psychological contract you never signed.
Am i going nuts or did they add something to the UESC units? There are slightly darker tinged ones around that seem much more aware and deadlier?
>>560737481Those are scouts
>>560737316Destiny fans tend to be mentally challenged so don't be mean
>>560737584No, i mean like across all enemy types. There was some darker looking Ghost too. I must literally be going insane.
Cryo out yet? Need the full purple ganksquads to fuck off so I can do my contracts!
>>560731650I'd be happy just playing rook until eos but you need to not play rook to get his upgrades and do faction missions. I'll play the game again if they ever fix that.
How long do you think they're going to last?
>oh shit let me throw a grenade>ammo box deploysGet these fucking things out of the grenade slot and into the heal slot
>>560737962As long as they're paid to
feels so good to have finally quit, corrr
>>560734327This is impressive, it's like I'm back in 2008 CoD lobbies. Or maybe you just never mentally left?
>>560737962Little unless they're apex fans
>>560737725Ghost Commanders maybe? Those fuckers have ended my runs in seconds.
>>560737962>>560736720Watching fubuki savescum for a shiny magicarp is more entertaining than watching marathon...
This is the face of the game now.
>>560737481Yes theres new upgraded units like the white faced recruits
>>560738114they really are getting desperate uh
The doo doo doo in the Code Race menu theme should be replaced to be saying Ma-Ra-Thon like the OG OST, then the game will be 10/10.
>>560738114improvement desu
>>560736720Honestly I’m glad that Aki is getting a huge payday, but that probably speaks volumes about how much they want the game to succeed. At least it’s probably going to convince more people than The Burnt Peanut because it has cute JP hags and brats playing it.
genuinely mad how the biggest dopamine hit I've had from marathon so far is from quitting KEK
So what's the point of this game for casuals or people that are in general supposed to keep it on life support past first weeks? Even Tarkov has scav where you can just jerk off around looting in peace. I genuinely don't understand why anyone who isn't into competitive fps would ever play this.
>>560738071No, they're not any significantly more healthier or otherwise different from the average mobs, just seem to have different style of coloration and markings and they try to fuck you like crazy. Does it have something to do with that message about UESC people got in the in-game mail today?
>>560738262Why would anyone play a game they don’t want to play you dumb fucking idiot
>>560738114Towa is cute and pretty decent at shooters too, so i'm fine with this.
>>560737258>By making solo-play virtually impossible against coordinated trios, the game forces social "anchoring." You stay because your "squad" needs you, even if you hate the game—a form of Collective Traumatic Bonding.Literally happening to me right now, after not getting on for a few days I told the guys I usually play with that I'm getting sick of this shitty game, and now they keep bugging me to come back on. Maybe the chatbot is onto something
>>560738368Why Aki instead of Botan though?
>>560736473if Bungie thinks I'm taking anything more than a free kit into Cryo, then they're absolute idiots.
>>560738404It's aki, la+ and towa
>>560738339I'm asking what is the appeal, troglodyte. Some of us can look at the broader picture because we're not drooling retards.
>>560738114If they get holoEN to play then Marathon's future is secured for the next 10 years.
>>560738262>>560737160>>560737258>>560737352>>560737453
>>560736720lol it's already over.They couldn't afford more than an hour?
>>560738262They want to appeal to casuals by making sure that you’ll always have a free kit to bring into a map, though I’m not sure if they would realize this their first time through. >>560738497HoloJP*I can’t imagine any EN playing this would really help the game.
>>560735696This is a good loadout though, you've got all the essentials. The only possible improvement is the shield, everything else is on point.
>>560737962>>560736720What the fuck is this shite? This is where they are spending money? Instead of making content and fixing the game?
>>560737249>Killing players should call in a uesc dropship with at least two ghosts on your position>That'll solve the pvp problemPvPers are invincible. AI can't stop them, they'll kill you, even with an army of UESC around you.
>>560738689>they want to appeal to casuals by making them food for non-casuals
>>560738114What in tarnation...
>>560738792>gamepad userlmfao
genuinely, the amount of cope in this general about this game is insane. its objectively bad by every metric
>>560737160>>560737258No game in the history of this medium has raped people this hard holy shit
>>560738792Wasting heals
anyone been banned for cheating yet?
>>560738763Paying for a paid stream is cheap as fuck which is why it's so common
>>560738971Nah, plenty. Path of Exile is one, except that instead of crying, people just left or got mildly miffed and carried on with being raped.
>>560738763Frankly it’s better than the usual streamers they went with. As for how they have all the money to spend on streamers, they probably used it from the copies Marathon sold or D2 at this point.>>560738808Yeah, the logic isn’t quite sound. It’d be one thing if there was a PvE only mode that only spawned up to blue gear at best for beginners to get their foot wet and feel comfortable with testing out maps and mechanics, but even the Beginner portion of Perimeter isn’t available for long before players are shoved out the door and are forced to sink or swim.
These mida quests are tedious
>>560738979>Wasting healsNot mine. I killed more runners earlier, and took their health packs.
>>560738689>They want to appeal to casuals by making sure that you’ll always have a free kit to bring into a map, though I’m not sure if they would realize this their first time through.Ok, but if you just repeatedly get fucked in the ass by better, more experienced players what makes a person come back? My point is that there is no hook for a casual to play. Arc has the le reddit chungus lobbies, Tarkov has scav where people can just walk around freely and loot around still making progress on their hideout if nothing else. In here you queue on Rook into the rape simulator where you are playing against all the other Rooks, trios and the npcs. Or you alternatively queue solos where 90% of the lobby is thief or assassin. Or you fill queue to maybe actually hit a decent team in which case you are playing BR-lite with looting attached to it.I'd say I'm pretty good at fps and this is honestly some of the most miserable time I've had playing an fps game solo. There's basically nothing here outside of trios shoot-at-people gameplay which is fine if you like that but I struggle to see the long term plan from Bungie. After people are done with the ARG and finished the quest for the lore for the first time why would they come back for season 2? I seriously doubt they will just make a completely fresh set of lore and quests every 3 months, so far not a single extraction shooter has done it, they all just recycle shit and add on top of the old shit. People are posting steamcharts of current numbers but 25-50k concurrent is way more than enough to run an extraction shooter. But if this is all there is to it there will be less than 5k left by the time s2 launches.
>>560739082>>560739146I still think its absolutely retarded, nothing more than trying to pull some distracting cloth over the eyes.Also>watching streamersThem and their playerbase need to be sent to GULAG.

>>560739248They're not streamers, they're comedians who happen to be streaming
Wow Assassin is insane. I threw a smoke grenade down and melee attacked The Warden to death, got a purple weapon, purple salvage, purple core and a purple implant.
>>560739219>free kitsIts nothing. Literally nothing. It does not fix the issue that no matter what shit you want to get done, you will struggle to do it because PvP gets in the way.The only way this game is enjoyable is if all participating players treat it as PvP-only, OR, all players refuse to engage in PvP and go on about their business.Bungie failed to integrate both modes.
>>560738897>game is insane. its objectively bad by every metricOutstanding gameplay mechanics, niglet. Nice visuals, cool setting, negroid. And of course, no SBMM, so 65% of players are food, 10% are mid, and 25% are good
>>560739248>nothing more than trying to pull some distracting cloth over the eyesI mean it's to grab attention of different, new people more than placate their current playerbase or whatever. There's also not really significant opportunity cost there for a large corporation.>watching streamersYeah it's retarded but that's unfortunately most people these days. If you're gonna autism about steam charts and the game dying then you gotta accept that it's primarily stream watching troglodytes you're begging for the attention of.
>>560739304That... is even worse.>recall that rick and morty shit Bethesda pulled with 76Absolute abominable garbage.
>>560739389Oh and a cryo key but once it releases and is confirmed trios only i'm gonna sell it.
>>560739395>Bungie failed to integrate both modes.They did it just fine though. You can take favorable engagements and not take unfavorable engagements. Retards on here trying to force this PvE vs PvP dichotomy is not reality.
>>560739567>You can take favorable engagements and not take unfavorable engagements.Not when you suck at video games. Most Marathon players don't have a choice, when someone pushes them.
Posted it again award
>>560739567>You can take favorable engagements and not take unfavorable engagements

I fucking love no SBMM
>>560739682Defender's advantage is big in this game, especially if you have a nade and you hear the other one approaching you
>>560739839>heroin addicts also think heroin is outstandingYour mom told you that, after sucking dick for a dose
So I as a solo player am contributing to the bot kill count but I won't be able to enter the cryo labs? Is this taxation without representation? My American spirit is being triggered. HELP!!! FUCKING BUNGIE!!!
>>560739483Unironically it’s better when the Japanese do it vs when the west does it like Rick and Morty or Burnt Peanut, because it’s cuter Japanese women that usually play games poorly.
>>560740001>Defender's advantage is big in this gameWhen you're good at video games. Marathon players are not, call the chartfag to show you how many we're losing xD))
>>560739682>Most Marathon players don't have a choice, when someone pushes them.They do, they just choose not to utilize it.Unless they're playing Recon or Triage they absolutely have tools to just say fuck that and run. Destroyer has his shield, turbo-sprint and thrusters. Assassin can just smoke/cloak and run away. Vandal's only real strength is her ability to just run away. Thief can grapple away into a bhop or two to disengage. Hell even Recon can run and chuck the drone backwards to overheat anyone who chases them and get away.Chasing someone who does this down is an extremely risky move too, because you can't keep up with someone running away without also exposing yourself to them if they decided to camp behind the next corner instead.
>Cryo has exclusive equipment unique to cryoKEKAROO
>>560740067you just proved my point, thank you
>>560740163The rick and norty one is so funny since its Justin roiland sitting there doing both the voices and then now hindsight makes it look even funnier with his weird shit
>>560740120solo players are the peurto ricans of marathon, sorry
>>560739682>Most Marathon players don't have a choice, when someone pushes them.This is funny because some of the easiest kills I've got in the game have been from retards getting the drop on me and chasing me into a building when I run away only for me to knife them to death. I avoided the unfavourable fight and they willingly chose to run into one.
>>560740216>Chasing someone who does this down is an extremely risky move tooNot when you realize it's a scared shitter. What's Greg gonna do, after a 10 hour shift? Or Bob, after getting yelled at by his fat 32yo wife. AHaahhah BBWAHahaHaaHHhHA
>>560740390Statistically it's greg or bob they're running from too.
>Forcing you to always win and lose 50% of your matchesSBMM is literally anti-fun.

I prefer arc raiders progression and crafting system to marathons. I wish I could grab blueprints and craft gear instead of having everything locked behind 6 different sponsors that you have to level up individually.
>>560740367>chasing me into a building when I run away only for me to knife them to deathWe have tools for those situations
>>560740163Maybe if you have a yellow fever.

>>560741572I think they assumed it would be similar to void hunters in destiny which are way more visible, still show up on the minimap, and you don't lose your entire inventory if they kill you
Recon is friend to none, prey to none. Recon is predator to all.
I have not once used a consumable that does not give health or shields. I don't even know what the others do.

>>560741209You can fill
>>560742102They don't matter, the usual crowd will just dismiss them if they're good and spam them here if they're bad.
>>560742102>>reviews still aren’t outWe've seen thousands.
>>560742353No, they'll dismiss the good ones and spam the bad ones, regardless of how they are overall.
Plz gibs SBMM :s :S I had no father and am a pussy :s
>>560742102>reviewsyou actually read those?I trust steam ratings more than some fucking games journo subhuman
>>560722542Yeah what is going on with the people defending this game? are people that eager to latch onto a videogame like this? it makes no sense. its clearly a poorly thought out game with terrible design choices.its so fuckin bizarre. bf6 never got this insane defending. everyone was insanely vocal about the problems in those games but people are just so for broken shit in their multiplayer games
>>560743380>its so fuckin bizarre. bf6 never got this insane defending. everyone was insanely vocal about the problems in those gamesdo you think people don't criticize marathon?also, bf6 actually felt annoying to play a lot of time even when you're getting a 3 kd, not really the same from this game
>>560743583im seein a lot more people defending marathon from the criticst. i never really saw people sayin the shit maps were actually a positive and they love them for bf6
>>560743380read up on intermittent reinforcementthe people defending this game are neurochemically dependent on the cortisol / dopamine reinforcement loops because this game gives people the opportunity to absolutely shit on other people with little resistance if any at allits that simple
>>560743917thank you. i figured it was something but i pretty much have articulated my points all week but didn't know it had a word for what exactly is going on.
>>560743583>do you think people don't criticize marathon?if you do you get immediately called a chud hater no matter how constructive and well put your criticism is, if you criticize anything in the discord feedback session you immediately summon a hoard of bungie deepthroaters that will defend any little thing about the game, the community is rotting in toxic positivity, in part as a defense mechanism for the obvious shallow hate the game got, but also because they're idiots and don't want to feel bad about the game they're playing.
>>560740593You can find schemas in raids that let you craft a certain weapon a certain amount of times.
>>560723546>be reviewer>have to waste a couple weeks grinding the game to do this shit given how over time they become impossible to do contracts because its almost impossible solo and/or squad fill is a crapshoot and other players can ultimately ruin your experience especially on some mapsthey really set battleground for this shit>oh so you didn't do that? guess your whole review is null haha>oh its too hard? damn game journo/reviewers are just too stupid for the game haha
>>560744250>craftbuy, they let you buy weapons often not available through normal upgrade trees, and for ludicrous prices. Schemas are useless.
>>560744359>Ludicrous pricesWhat are you talking about? The only expensive ones are the weapons you exclusively find in shit like pinwheel.
>>560744007all good senpaisame here, I instinctually felt while playing that something was very offeven when I was enjoying the game there was a weird hum behind that enjoyment was unusual for a gaming experienceafter a week of play and reaching lvl 50 I realised it was the hum of intermittent reinforcementwhich btw is the same dynamic as what occurs in abusive relationships with the extreme ups and downsits not healthy, it messes with your brains neurochemistry a lotand obviously attracts people already dependent on those chemical highs and lows (who tend to be toxic and abusive because thats how they seek those highs)so when you see people defending this game, defying all logic in the process. its because they've finally found a game that gives them those highs and lows in raw form unlike other gamesbrain chemistry plays a large part in how well received games areeven stuff like toxic positivity can translate this waythink of bad game apologists as drug addictsthey'll justify their addiction any way they can and damn anyone who points out that its bad for them, or just bad overallafter all, why do we play vidya?because we want quick and easy dopamine, we're all seeking a fix, some are just more addicted and dependent than others
>be me, Destroyer>find this, inject it>end up turning into Vandal
>game has stats for aim assist>weapons hardly have strong recoil>hardly any bloom going on>guns are essentially laserbeams>the laserbeam weapons are really pissy compared to kinetics>defenses are already piss pooryeah this game was broken from the start
>>560744674I had a very weird fight with a overrun AR where I melted a thief 40/50mt that was running, the gun basically moved on its own and every bullet was a headshot, my aim is normally shit, this happened after a sequence of bad rounds where I kept dying, felt like I was cheating, I have the slight suspicion they bump up your aim assist if you play badly.
>>560733878>>560734193i had a huge gut feeling from server slam and had optimism for it to be fixed and then the game continued to be astroturfed to fuckin hell so bungie didn't feel the need to lift any fingersthey leaned so hard into this hardcore shtick because it shows they dont need to fix their game at all. now people are abusing every sort of system in the game to get ahead: from broken weapons, to shit maps to fuckin over randoms because they didn't put in anything else to have some sort of healthy balance to the whole gamebroken piece of shit game
>>560706453>design your defining, game-selling content around something maybe 1% of your players will ever be capable of even attemptingBungie Arrogance strikes again. They give the swedes a run for their money.
>>560744972oh well, plenty other games out there mateI'm chilling on path of exile now instead
>>560745146You keep spouting this 1% shit but its purely made up
>>560744972the game is rotten to the core, they'd need to rework it from ground up to make it good. The more you play, the more you realize that.
>>560744972>and then the game continued to be astroturfed to fuckin hell so bungie didn't feel the need to lift any fingersDo you even exist on the same plane of reality as everyone else? This is the most aggressively trashed game that has come out in ages. Even shit like Concord or Highguard got less negative reception because nobody fucking cared.
>>560707972This is hot horseshit. I duo sometimes and we run blues. Without fail always get a teammate with a sponsor free kit. If it had gear matchmaking we wouldn't have that happen.
>>560745282A huge portion of the playerbase plays only solo, just cutting them off was a stupid decision.
Oh geez Charter, should I engage on this trio?>”Skin them alive, you will require the sustenance in the coming days”
>>560745556rook doesn't gain faction rep
>>560745430I hate it so much. It makes running gear in fill impossible and dissuades non-faggots from filling with a freekit just to get some geared teammates that are annoyed (and thus unhelpful) at the freeloader.I just filled into a duo with blues with a basic green M77 loadout and immediately had them both be like "thank god we've had like 5 freekit fills in a row"
>>560745282>>560745510I'm not even talking about solo. I'm talking about requiring gold and purple gear to attempt this thing.
>>560745662He certainly does for Arachne. Been levelling it up for days with rook
>>560745662Uh, yeah they do. They can't do contracts but they still get exp from all the other sources.
>>560745391it's also one of the most aggressively defended game
>>560745796Yeah because despite your autistic faggotry it is quite good
i hope they add a random kit that is worth 5k creds so i dont have to make a gay little loadout every time i go cryo
>>560745662rook has BONUS faction rep (solos too) from in game actions. I believe the text that says that is on the factions xp bar overview after a run.
seeing a lot of people on other sites saying they feel ripped off and wouldn't have bought the game if they knew it would just be destiny 2 raidslop all over again
I am going into Cryo with a freekit :)
>>560745845what exactly is good about it other than the graphics lookin presentable and the guns work like they should?
>>560745901>seeing a lot of people on other sitesI see you've had to change tack because people kept laughing at you for admitting to being on reddit 24/7
>>560745712It's a 5K loadout bar which is a blue loadout
>>560744972>Astroturfed>The game that has had immense amounts of retards decrying it for taking attention away from detranny 2Massive retard spotted
>>560745921sorry broke ass nigga, it's 5k to enter
>>560745995wat
>>560745845it isn't, it's good on the surface level but they clearly didn't think things out as they added stuff to the game.
>>560745165nice i got done playin pokopia on my brothers switch 2. just "beat" the story mode and now im back to shittin on marathon rather than playing it.
>>560733564holy copeget some fucking friends holy shit. The game is fun and everything you're describing is a massive mental or skill issue.
Maraphonk.
>>560746012I die too much to get this level of gear. Waiting for pve mode once the community dies
>>560746019It's projection man, they're literally astroturfing (or I guess anti-astroturfing) in these generals nonstop.
>>560745941Its fun
>>560746012I haven't even seen a blue shield yet
>>560745430>>560745671i was on perimeter as squad fill with freeloadouts or people with green shields.one guy just runs off ahead by himself and spots a team and they already got him with a claymore drone.but the time we got to him there was smokes and an assassin shotgunnin us down.theres probably nothing that helps with premades vs fills either
>>560746097>get some fucking friends holy shitThis is the death rattle of a dying mutliplayer game
>>560746012Wait then it might be legit the only decent map to run with randoms. They HAVE to take gear in.
>>560745941Your next words will be “fun is a buzzword”
>>560746229Or you could not be a cunt and make friends in rando queue. That's what I did.
>>560746019you are full of shit dude. reddit is literally the fuckin hub of astroturfing and people suckin shit up and sayin it taste good. go fuck off with your bullshit, you're doing the same shit they all do.>>560746141yeah man its just, projections maaaaaaaaaan. they are doing it in this thread alongside the tranny thief poster and some fuckin dweeb in his early 20s who has a screw loose if you talk shit about the game.this whole general is just a bunch of dickless solo assassin players who are real life fuckin weirdos who get off on this shit.the games ass
>>560746081kek I already uninstalledI'll come back when they make it a story based pve focused shooter like destiny (they won't)>>560746097he's done you>>560746229you've done him
>>560746354Go play hello kitty island adventure if this game succeeding is blasting your ass so hard
>>560746031wait I thought that was for ranked only?they're really putting a kit restriction for Cryo?
>>560746351no i think i will simply not participate in bungie's humiliation ritual
>>560738792if ur not a "pvper" what are u doing playing this
Pve fags are such fucking pussy faggots.
>>560746514Go play a single player game then. Nobody's forcing you to play the heavily advertised multiplayer focused multiplayer game that heavily encourages multiplayer play.
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/ranked_in_marathonBungie already backed down on ranked being trios only. They're afraid.
>>560745941Fights are heavily positioning reliant in both solos and trios which combines extremely well with a set of abilities that are mostly informational and/or movement based.There's a lot of variety in engagement ranges and thus viable loadouts unless you're stomping perimeter with snipers.The loot being highly liquid promotes regular gear usage and the amount of kills in a given match + gun spawns means you almost always have different shit to run.Sounds design is really very good, including in a lot of subtle ways with footsteps being clear and easy to read position on, but with a soundscape that's full of a lot of sounds that're just similar enough to footsteps to stop it from being oppressive.Outpost is an extremely well designed map for an extraction shooter, with the best elements of a BR style deathball for the center without it becoming too centralizing and still allowing a lot of play around the outside. This is doubly true in solos, imo.Most of all the game just feels extremely rewarding, especially for making the right decisions at almost every level. Even something like the WSTR, which is of course extremely strong and quite available but is very easy to fuck up and very all-or-nothing. You get rewarded hard for using it right and punished hard for using it wrong.
>>560746514>Interacting with other human beings is a "humiliation ritual"damn how hard was this kid bullied in school
>>560746802>>560746802>>560746802
>>560746657they should be, they're shooting themselves on the foot multiple times, I'm surprised the foot is not yet necrotic
>>560746724The only people who enjoy making "friends" online are those with no meaningful real-world relationships. Having "friends" who you've never interacted with in person is a deeply unpleasant, pathetic experience for those who know better.
>>560746918we've got a budding school shooter over here
>>560747028make sure you hop in the 'cord today for some emotional support
>>560746918>a-a-actually you're pathetic for not being afraid to talk to other people???
>>560746514>referring to casual social interaction with people as a humiliation ritual430 pounds, at lowest. No shower for at least 3 days. Last conversation with someone other than your mother was the doordasher bringing you your Big Boy McMeal
>>560746097My friends aren’t interested in this game unfortunately. I’ve had decent luck with squad fill, but it does seem way more fun with a premade though.
>>560746691most people play solos or quad fill quit tryin to oversell the dogshit game. you can get that in any other game
>>560740941normalize just straight up removing annoying shit
>>560749753Not really, this game feels really different from other games in this genre because of the disparate parts that make it, this game is funky. Also, a lot of the guns in a genre where looting guns is the primary loop happen to fucking suck, whereas here, even pistols feels really beefy, there are no 13 AK variants filling the same role, which is nice, a lot of mechanics are compressed so that the player can focus on methodical nuance of ACTUALLY playing an extraction game as opposed to splitting hairs over which variant of a weapon is better with the green grip that you have that you will inevitably lose in two runs tops. It feels fast and loose where it needs and strict in other places as opposed to the belly crawl of a title like Tarkov, but not stripping so much of it’s essence that it reverts into The Division like Arc Raiders does. It has a freaky little freak personality.
