Looks very watchable . Again what was the big reason and fears of doom and gloom as to why we couldn’t let Cryo always be active? People talk about power creep but act like we aren’t already dummy strong as it is with just how potent the weapons are. You literally can have a sniper rifle drop off a bog standard ghost unit in dire marsh. I just don’t get how the people who acknowledge weapons are strong in general and any talk of ttk increases or tweaking is bad but also yeah the cryo stuff is just too good and ruin the game. Like motherfucker I can go bum rush pinwheel and brute force a loadout that can be equally as terrifying to somebody with slightly better cryo only shit, what are we even doing here? Also Shroud never beating the dumb pollack stereotypes this guy should be lifting weights and spraying cologne all over an Audi

you want to fight Malenia?

Can I just fight the boss?

Ok, fine can I just kill the...
>you have to while getting fucked by rape robots endless waves of them (dont make noise though) teams of the most hardcore players and premades, maybe even streamers solve puzzles and collect cards like this is resident evil's mansion

They wanted to copy what made the raids work in D2, because that would always bring tons of attention to the game whenever one launches. But that doesn't translate into sales because its usually just existing players hopping between streams to see which player made the most progress, because the difficulty of the content and in getting together a coordinated fireteam filters out most of the players.
In this case it fails because Marathon is a PvEvP game and NOBODY wants to lose all to loot they spent time grinding for, especially if they're a bunch of yellows that end up benefiting someone else.

You dont even need ranked for a tryhard mode if you just prevent free kits for getting placed on a team with loadouts

Its a free handout for the people who already aren't risking anything, and an absolute anchor on anyone running a loadout in fill queue

Its such a simple fix, makes sense for the entire point of the risk/reward part of an extraction game and would make unranked so much more fun


Its like if you're playing counter strike and getting teammates that are unable to purchase guns every single round. You'd be thinking what the actual fuck is this

most games have a "you really have to play this way to have fun", but the more narrow that play style is, the worse the game is. the fact that for marathon 2 out of the 4 basic play options just aren't viable, is very bad. this is before even getting down to actual nitty gritty shit like shell/weapon/play style choices, which absolutely also have a meta.

the fact that this isn't blatantly obvious to marathon defenders is mind-boggling

WRONG. The hardest beginner contract in the game is Parasitism 1/5 because if you are doing the priority contracts as you get them and have a decent success rate you will be sub level 15 and the game already demands you go to Pinwheel which was the hardest place in the game before Cryo.
For that one either rat in solos of spam trios. Solos is easier but trios is faster.

So lemme get this straight Bungie thought this would be a big watchable weekend only thing people would just be dying all week to get into, it ends up being fine but the people who already have good shit(which isn’t that difficult after time put in) get negligible loot upgrades at best and somehow Bungie thinks it’s actually a big power creep issue if they keep Cryo 24/7, are they fucking morons? Why would you limit something that is actually entertaining and a part of the overarching endgame progression experience? Not everybody is looking for spoilers or has the discord simp army that trivializes everything, you weren’t blocked out of running a Destiny raid to a specific day so what’s the point in making it so limited? I get Cryo was never going to be something for everyone but I’m sure there will be plenty of people who trial and error and take time figuring shit out, why force pressure of only a certain amount of days you can run the thing? I genuinely see no good reason why this shouldn’t be a permanent part of the game even if streamers show off big haul taken and it is pennies added to a dragon hoard worth of credits.
>>
>>560974025
>"watchable content"
i have no idea how there is a market for watching this shit. even cod and fortnite are boring to watch imo so clearly i'm just out of touch with zoomers. but half of marathon is menuing with loot or doing quiet prep between the gunfights that last 10 seconds. i can kinda see how arc raiders might be a little more watchable since that's a friendlier game with the social prox chat shit, but marathon is explicitly going for a more "hardcore" pvp angle that completely eliminates that

i guess you can cut out the 30 seconds worth watching from a round into tiktok clips but idk who is watching hours of streams

The theory was you grind equipment in the week to then spend to hopefully get even better shit in Cryo or burn through the gear you got during the week. The problem is that in reality it simply doubled down on the rich get richer economy the game currently has. Shroud has nearly a million credits whilst casuals have to scrape by for every penny and skilled casuals like most of /mg/ are mostly sub 100k

Well with Raids in Destiny, there were tons of crazy setpieces and good loot only available there. People thought (or hoped) that Marathon would be the same, but so far in Cross's stream it just looks very underwhelming.

I wish I could tell you the casuals fought the good fight and Bungie let em be. I wish I could tell you that, but the steam charts are no fairy tale world.
Most players never said why they left, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile, Marathon life consists of getting farmed and then more farming.
Every so often a casual would show up at Cryo with fresh blues. The sweats kept at him, sometimes he was able to kill one, sometimes not.
And thats how it went for casuals, that was their routine. I do believe those first maps were the worst of it and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, Cryo would have got the best of them
>>
So far the gameplay loop of Cryo seems to be the following:
>spawn
>kill as many UESC as you can find
>collect clearance
>use clearance hack terminals
>use gathered clearance to backdoor to another team's spawn
>kill
>collect clearance, you're expected to be either 3 or 4 at this point
>loot secret rooms
>possibly kill another team
>collect batteries
>collect coolant
>do a vault
Am I missing something? It seems the only good loot is in the vaults, anything outside is hardly worth shit unless you kill a team with better stuff than you. In the beginning it's a race for which team can get clearance the fastest and get position on the others.

For most people Purples are the pinnacle and they're random recruit drops in Cryo, that enough is incentive for casual premades to jump in and get farmed.

I was thinking I was going to drop the game after the wipe in two months but I'm just not seeing a reason to keep playing. The little tasks were okay motivation and reward but those dry up or take me all to dire marsh. The game just doesn't seem to want me to play it. Dire Marsh is honestly the worst map I've ever played in any game. It's impossible to have fun without a lobby of three friends who are kitted out for ranged battle. It's tedious and irritating gathering resources on.

I tried playing trios a few times. I made it to level 16 doing only solos. Here is how the games went.

>Game 1
Spawn in and say over mic "Hey, I will help with whatever quests you guys have." Nobody pings anything and instead just fucks around in South Station. Eventually a squad that had a sniper in it rolls up and wrecks us. I even pinged hauler earlier on when I felt no one was doing anything and they still didn't move.

>Game 2
Spawn in with a light green rarity kit. Shield and backpack etc. Team mates are both free kitters who full blown sprint towards hauler. We die within 2 minutes.

>Game 3
Try dire marsh trios. We spawn in and within 45 seconds we are in a fight. Got to fire maybe 2-3 bullets from my overrun before getting absolutely cucked from all sides. Look at team mate and he is looting white items in a shed. They hunt him down and kill him too.

I am not sure that I like trios. I don't think its bad and I realize team mates can be shit or not but it just seems almost too chaotic. You spawn in and you can't get someone to move in a cohesive direction. It seems like some enemy teams are moving with seal team 6 levels precision too.

What do you think is better? Solos or trios?

The other issue is now you’re forcing another time investiture crunch on people’s usual flow of stuff which already assumes they log on like a streamer clocking in and do the chore list in the same designated manner/time window. Don’t get me wrong I understand 5k gear load in is nothing doesn’t take impossible lengths especially if you’re seriously up for end game challenge nor do I not see it as a way to filter people being reckless souring experiences , but weighing out the 5k setups like a supply of lives to burn through it’s micromanaging and time sink that is eating into your normal flow of play. I am about lvl 40 and have done a good deal of the quest chains for the factions and there’s plenty of time I’m not consciously exfilling to have the max amount of shit on my back. To constantly have to be factoring in having a loadout to setup as you spend your limited weekend time, it’s just fucking annoying. my Destiny raid nights were always on wednesdays and thursdays and to force the only raid in marathon on weekend is dumb

The game is designed around groups of three who have good synergy and communication, this means those that don't have good communication or those that don't play well together are at a disadvantage, when people say "sweat" in this game, they mean a group playing together on discord with mics being able to kill dozens of players who aren't because the ttk is so low and most gear is so underwhelming that coordination is the key firefight decider in trios. Because of the games' simple movement systems, "sweat" doesn't mean what it does in casual shooters like Battlefield and CoD, it just means premade friendgroups have an inherent advantage over fill and even LFGs.

Duo > Solo >>> Trio
The "intended" way to play is honestly the worst one. It simply doesn't work. It mostly feels like a weird team deathmatch that ends up with 10-15 minute of brainless looting with rooks killing themselves in helpless 3v1.
Also duo with rook invasions would be even better, both as a duo and a rook player.

The thing that pisses me off about cryo isn't really the potential loot loss. It's more that none of my friends will play with me, so I'm expected to go and slurp up some zero charisma community discord trannies doing gamer voice "he's knocked he's knocked, he's in heaven guys, come come come"

I'm not going to do that so I'm basically gated out of cryo and arguably the intended experience even outside of it. The alternative is filling and dying to premades who only loot my advanced meds and look at my wstr with 2 epic but 1 blue attachment and think lol what a poorfag. There's no point, you'd be lucky to beat one of these teams with fill let alone another 4 or whatever. One of your bot brained fills WILL get gunned down before the fight even really starts, and that's assuming you can tard wrangle them into even going the same direction as you.

one of them is a dude who regularly will get on prox and tell people to git gud before finishing them, so seeing him get stomped is cathartic

Consider for a moment how atrocious the implications of what you just said are.

If streamers who effortlessly stomp lobbies are barely able to play it and having no fun, what fun will anyone else have? Much less a fucking group fill trio with no mics? The answer is none.

I genuinely see no future for Bungie after this flop, Cryo should have had solos enabled at the very least. Max playercount today from people checking it out looks like it's barely going to get past 50k, and that's with everyone streaming it too.

>>560979020
that's part of the problem, if you can kill a dude in under a second with an unmodded shitter smg, how much is a gold gun worth it? shit like thermal scopes matter but most of the number stuff doesn't. shield rarity is the only thing that really matters and even then in a close range encounter where a team fully commits to taking you down after getting the jump on you, it's not gonna matter THAT much

The vast majority of the playerbase cannot do anything in cryo without getting wiped. So acting like streamers getting stomped by people of equal skill, not the average player, is glazing over the point that all of those people are pub stomping 90% of the playerbase regardless.

This game is fucking doomed, I'm calling it right now. Whatever small 5-10k player bump this causes will be completely erased by Sunday and there will be a massive backlash on top of it.

Also I've seen so far LITERALLY zero reason why this should have solo queue disabled. the puzzles are literally just switches and keycards.

It won't cause a player bump because it's so hard to get into, if you're behind, you can't get in. period. you'll have to grind until next week. This is poor design, even MMORPGs leave shit open 24/7 so players may not be the best but have a chance at playing the content.
The worst part is cryo has the sweatiest of players in it, so by leaving it only open on weekends, you have 0% chance of beating a run

Why would it even bump? I've been playing the game as much as I can on weekends, more than the average normie, and I don't even feel prepared for it.

NTA but gear is in a quantum state of being entirely useless but absolutely busted depending entirely on the situation. If a guy has purple shields but he gets completely blindsided or doesn't shoot back for half a second, he may as well not have shields cause he's gonna die and lose even if he starts firing back.

But if the purple shield guy is firing at you the same time you're firing at him, if you don't have a purple shield you will just die by getting stat checked by him. Some weapons enforce this stat checking the best and are typically the go to weapons (Volley Rifle, M77, Bully), but others bypass the stat check and essentially force a "if in ideal situation, kill person instantly", enforcing a situation again where they may as well not have any shields (Shotguns, Volt Thrower when in the open and within 10m, Knife on a melee implant shell). If you're in a sniping battle whoever has better shields is usually the winner, but if you're CQC with a shotgun it's just whoever gets the best shot.

good write up but that just emphasizes how dogshit the ttk is and how the weapon balance cannot be balanced at all when its that low.
they fucked up the fundamentals by making every weapon a quantum physics laserbeam that has innate bullet magnetism and aim assist in them

you make the shooting pretty much house of the dead hitscans without tryin to be careful how this would impact every single encounter that happens in the game and how paced they make the matches. its hardly an extraction shooter at this point.

cryo being a more closed off interior level kind of rebalances thing. loot matters a ton perimeter and dire marsh where your thermal scopes help you bring down people from a mile away. they also just nerfed the shotgun so you have to be pretty much in knife range for it to be good and patched the weapon mod that let it fire an extra shot.

so yeah, both things are true. sweaty poopsockers stomp on the alleged noob maps but get their knees cut off on cryo. that's kind of a good thing because people coming into cryo with the bare minimum gear actually have a chance of getting good shit off the players coming in with all purples. but it also means the sweats are gonna drop cryo to go back to noob stomping people who aren't even high enough level to play cryo

okay it might be time for everyone itt to start freaking the fuck out and panicking, it'll probably trickle up to like 51-52k but that's basically not even beating the count from 2 days ago.

It's a weird situation because I think Bungie wants their guns to feel dangerous and real, and they are; anything that isn't a copperhead or the retaliator kills quick. They feel like Tarkov guns, where all it takes is a couple bullets to drop someone, but then there's that weird inverse where you can't actually tactically play around how dangerous the guns are because you can't
>go prone
>lean
>canter guns
>use special ammo
>blind fire
>dodge
>shields don't *really* block the damage but just make your hp bigger
So all you can really do is hold a good angle and be a better shot. There isn't a lot of thinking to gunfights. If you want to win without using guns then it relies entirely on what gear you brought, which relies entirely on how lucky you are since most worthwhile stuff that actually has an effect (grenades, self rez, implants with not shit effects) require you to either get lucky and find them or get lucky and find the materials you can use to unlock them so you can buy them from the shop. Because of this, gear can't be too effective, but it has to be effective cause otherwise there's no point to wanting it, but not effective enough that getting it breaks how balancing works and it can't be too character specific because then that means balancing the shells is a nightmare and-

you get the point.

you currently have to extract from the hardest map in the game 7 times minimum to fight it so i would not be surprised if it's 3 digits unless they nerf it first

to the frantic and desperate bungie employee lurkers:
Your game is already dead. Your player counts aren’t enough. The count still dropped from yesterday. And it’s Friday, the day of your Ace in the Hole Map release. Literally just cannibalize marathon assets into what the series used to be. Don’t make it a live service. Don’t make it an extraction shooter. Literally just ape all design from Marathon Infinity.

>aliens (reuse assets from Destiny no one will care)
>pvp deathmatch because shooting players is fun that’s the only thing the game has going for it other than general art style
>make the guns look less like gay Roblox
>if you are really desperate after the hundreds of layoffs of your fellow employees over the next few months make it a rogue-lite with proc-gen levels
Remember. They will layoff anyone and everyone who is expendable or was responsible for the design decisions that led us here. You need good ideas that the mass audiences will resonate with to keep your job.

>>560982634
yeah it's surprisingly bad i thought it would at least hit 60k
>>
>>560982704
yeah theres a reason the game was shit since the get go.
it was fun for 1-3 days now everyones running with the most effective arsenal and its shotgun/snipers. theres no such thing as proper firefights. its just gettin a lucky pop on someone, be it from close encounters or from a distance. hardly any in betweens.

>>560982941
I still like this game and solos; I just treat it like a stripped down extract shooter with cool visuals and cool lore (which is exactly what it is and what they intended to get casuals into it). The faster TTK makes much more sense in something like solos than it does teams. It makes gear more redundant, which can be good and bad, but I'd say the sacrifice is more worth it and fits with the ambush style of gameplay solo players adapt to. Teams was okay during the server slam, but it's unplayable as a fill since the average team mate is fucking brainless and even if they can shoot straight they're usually a sponsor kit that gets stat checked by someone with better gear.
>>560983147
How wonderfully naive. I'd suck your cock if you gave me all of your cryo valuables so I can have the lore entries, but I guess it's not meant to be...
>>
>>560983342
I've been going in with around 7-8k per although that raid was only my third one.
I have more than enough to spare because I barely ever lose my solo's matches and never play trios normally so don't mind losing a few to learn the map.

Realistic Gun Mechanics are whatever on most games but prone and leaning are essentially free Realism (TM) points from retards. I understand not putting prone in so you dont get to rat in the bushes, but put leaning into the game and gunplay improves 10x.

If this is Cryo then yes. People are killing each other trying to circumvent the PVP mechanics.

What the fuck is wrong with bungie
>>
They need to drastically tweak the time on Cryo if anyone is even going to think about clearing Vault 7 eventually. 30 minutes is not enough time to get all the stuff you need.

For context, Vault 7 is located in labs. Just to even get to the area that has the elevator, you need level 2-3 security clearance. Then you need anti-virus packs just to survive in labs. And before even going up you need at minimum 7 batteries, a filled cryo coolant, (which you can only get by killing a drone in steerage and taking it to the center of the map), and a vault 6 contraband key.

Did I mention the Vault 6 entrance is guarded by a boss Warden IN DATA CORRUPTION along with countless turrets and bots. If you somehow get past all that, you open vault 6 and are greeted with the vault 7 door which you need a vault 7 key for. God knows where that is.

By the way this is assuming no players roll up on you or stall your time by playing hide and seek.

This is probably the hardest PVE activity Bungie has ever made. I don’t even think the most hardcore players could do all that in 30 mins unless they got a LUCKY run.

in mid april when the game is down to 10k players, there will be cryo lobbies where everybody is working together on prox chat and clearing everything. and it will be glorious seeing bungie then remove prox chat in the very next patch because they desperately want this to be a sweaty PvP focused game, no matter how many players that decision costs them
>>
Still waging. Has anyone tried ranked yet? Or really the rest of the game at all? I feel like I'm not going to have enough gear to play more than a few rounds of Cryo, and probably won't extract. So, I'll definitely be in the rest of the game most of the weekend. Maybe Outpost will be more free of the juicers because Cryo will be higher value, and I can get some purples going. Rooking might not be as lucrative though because less people are dying and leaving good shit on the ground.

I think the more "dangerous" you make your guns the more 'realism' stuff kind of matters, since all the realism stuff comes from an origin of

and in this game that effectively may as well be the case. Them not having a lean at bare minimum is one of the things I'm more irked about though cause I refuse to believe someone like Assassin is too much of a bumbling retard to stick his entire body out while taking shots at someone
>>
>>560985396
Based. The game isn't about getting juicy purples and golds, it's about shit like this. Extraction shooters enable emergent stories like this like no other shooter does.

for anyone who doesn't know: get clearance level 5 and then go into the mid control room and go under into the giant hatch vault underneath and then hack it to open
>>
Is there some lower tier looting to be had on Cryo? Thinking like getting in, minimum security for a single vault or maybe just a locked room or two, then calling extract and boogyin' while the juicers are going for endgame? Probably a decent way to get some purps and blues.

Want to play but the game feels pointless as a casual. I have no friends to play with and the friends I have that have no lives are so far ahead of me that I can’t really contribute (they’re all purple gold and I’m barely getting blue shit). Solo also feels pointless since I can’t do cryo and I also barely earn exp. Guess I’ll wait till they fix it in a few months.
>>
>>560987240
any reviewer worth a damn will knock the game even more for makin them wait for this shit and will have to carefully word it in a way that doesn't say they do not like it because they are bad at the game.

if they can do that, they need to make sure that they fully understand this type of game and pretty much have a phD in videogames to tell you why the fuck its a bad idea in the first place.
then again that wont matter. the people defending this game are so fucking out of touch that they might as well just say fuck it, i suck at games, and its a terrible game.

So, my pro tips for cryo:
- If you bring a heavy ammo gun bring plenty of ammo. Bots drop light/volt ammo fairly often.
- Don't bother bringing in a self res, they drop like crazy in there
- You should be safe to go loud until you get to the center of the map, then it's pvp central.
- Don't forget to loot the bots for security clearance levels. Usually the shielded bots and commanders have them, I've also found some on ghosts.
- I've only activated the central exfil terminal and it is not the actual exfil! Apparently you need to find it on the map and run there. You have 2-3 minutes to do so.
- Use the scanner terminals, they will make important items visible on your hud/map
- Keep a lot of time for exfil for your first runs. It's a big confusing map.

>>
>>560987589
Hunt Showdown kinda. It's more objective based, the entire lobby fights for the "bounty" you get by killing the 1 or 2 big bosses on the map. You lose your stuff on death but you can easily buy back everything you need, the game encourages you to do so and allows you to save your favorite loadouts, money is there just to balance the most memey weapons. You spawn in, search for clues, fight the other players, kill or steal the boss bounty and extract, if you die you can rematch pretty quickly. The game also got a recent boost thanks to marathon ironically.

I am going to say this, Ive done two runs at cryo, one with my gear the other one with the free kit. Both times blue as I was too much of a pussy to bring my cards and bring my purples.

I don't like the game. We have killed teams, 1 each on both runs but the first part is just wasting ammo on bots, seriously I brought in the shield lmg and even with 5 of ammo i had none when fighting my second team.
Random fills are more competent finally.

But the game is not fun, the first we got wiped out of exfil because we didn't have enough cards to open and this time the timer ran out because late game is a clusterfuck of third parties

This map shows you why Extraction games will always be hot garbage. The map itself is not that big and what you have to do is not that complicated but the time limit + opposing teams artificially pad out the length of the content by getting you killed and setting you back. This is not fun. This is the worst type of grind imaginable.

But did you have any watchable clip CLUTCH moments that you’ll be talking about on your favorite Bungie approved streamer’s Discord community server for weeks to come? Cause if you didn’t I’m pretty sure Joe Ziegler might R Budd Dwyer himself in the next earnings report meeting.

In all seriousness I’m actually fucking furious over how Cryo is handled. Not because I hate what I played or that it didn’t feel like end game or that it’s bad(I like it if I’m being real) , but to shortchange the game as a whole on the big event thing you’re working towards and sticking it strictly to a few days a week is the most lame bullshit I’ve ever seen. Locking people out of the end game except for the approved days makes no fucking sense. Poop sock no lifers aren’t going to be any less rich or powerful if Cryo dropped today or in a month, they have so much of the leg work solved, nothing matters to them. I also know not everybody would play Cryo, but to alienate people who want to play the end game outside of a weekend is just retarded. This has just a little too much of the watchable content streamer bait stank on it and it makes the game feel extra pointless when you round the corner into the end game and now just don’t have a lot of physical places to chase shit in.

IMO whoever gets to the boss first gets the chance to kill him and everyone is locked out and if you beat him you trigger a super metroid like escape sequence and the people that beat compiler get their own unique hallway and exit and the rest on the map have to fight for it as the place explodes. That would be cool

Bungie does not give a fuck about their playerbase, it's all about the folks on the team vibing. Some retards like Tarkov back in 2018 so with all of the toxic positivity, they killed Bungie and Destiny to make a shitty extraction shooter with no effort put into it.

This is such a weird situation, Bungie is so desperate for the game to appear hardcore but the whole game is balanced around three people changing each other's diapers instead of individual skill.

I'm trying to understand this. I agree with a lot of the points in /mg/; the critiques and all but I don't understand why everyone says the game is dead?
It sold ok, there's 5k watch on Twitch, there's around the same amount of players playing Marathon as Tarkov, reviews on Steam at least are 'Mostly Positive' too. The Official Discord isn't Doom Pilling and the Official Sub-Reddit seem to be having a great time too.
The only negatives I've seen are isolated, single posts being shown here which I'm going to assume are /mg/ own accounts posting or screens from Twitter with like ten likes

From what I understand, people are projecting into the future and don't believe the playerbase is large enough to sustain a live service game long enough to recoup the investment into it. In addition to that, the game seems to be very decisive mechanically: there are people who don't like the genre outright who wish it could have been something else, and even those who do like the genre don't agree with all the choices made by Bungie.

theres something similar on Netflix, where the most common person who uses and watches it are people scrolling Tik Tok on their phones and not paying attention, so now it is practically mandated that your character must say what is actually happening every 5 minutes, leading to Tik Tok Tards saying the show is great, and people who actually want to watch something that it's incredibly boring and repetitive and paint by numbers

All Bungie needed to do for Destiny is give me the ability to host a game for raids, populate it with random people and me the raid leader inspects everyone to make sure they can handle the raid and verify they have mics BEFORE we enter the raid. They never did this and instead came up with convoluted solutions. This game desperately needs that. A way you can inspect your team before deploying.

I'm honestly in the camp in saying that currently the map variety is okay and should generally get even more diverse if Seasons roll around. I'm more in the camp to say that the Low to Medium threat maps could use a few more options as things go along, with the ball crushers map content mostly staying the same with a few twists and turns. I have no qualms with Cryo being the culmination of the weekend struggle, as long as every map in the future isn't trying to step up from Cryo and instead has new sorts of loot and guns.

Oh god, I can forsee this happening now.
>Cryo and Rank are only on weekends
>Below-Average players, Casuals, and Normies will soon realize the only time they can have fun is when the sweats are all doing their thing on the weekends.
>Games population drops until the weekend for the casuals to get through their Priorities or fun before the sweats run out of gear to then pillage and rape the casuals
Then the real hell begins
>All the sweats and ranked players finally know how to complete Cryo in under 25mins and where all the good loot is
>Proceed to come back to the other maps to kill everyone even faster
>Starts to become boring for the sweats
>Leave
>All the normies and casuals are long gone at this point.

If they're not working on the PVE mode and working retarded levels of overtime to get it out, Bungie is dead.

Anon, at this point I can't tell if you're AI, trolling, or being serious.
Bungie is not making a PvE mode for this game; it's way to late and even if they wanted they don't have the funds and going by the leaked accounts on a few insider sites there's going to be layoffs in about there months and upwards to 200 people will be let go.
>>
>>560994053
>and going by the leaked accounts on a few insider sites
which ones?
>>
>>560988028
yeah but the "hardcore pvp" is not managements doing. no C-suite gives a fuck about what actually happens in the video game. this is primarily on bungie.
>>
I don't use VC. What will happen if I enter cryo?
>>
>>560994053
It's going to be way more than 200, anon. Try 600+
>>
>>560994104
Nice try Bungie.

Is Peanut the closest to the fighting the compiler? I haven't seen this vault yet.

Sounds like you really need to be an ultra sweat to even get to the basic loot of Cryo. Guess I'll spend the weekend going on a date, cleaning my place, and questing/mat farming on the normal maps.

>>560994563
It's usually not even that on it's own. You can play well, do very decent and carry the team but in reality the people in question do almost always want someone who hard carries them through everything. Trying to form a group that can take both the wins and losses is thus ridiculously hard, because you need those who aren't looking for lucrative ways to mule themselves gear off the work of more experienced players.

Another 50k day. EZ.

I have been doing OMAD all this week. The earlier half of this week it was torture but by now I ate a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast 12 hours ago and I am still not hungry. I now understand this cheat code
>>
>>560995169
It was getting 60k even when there was no new content just a few days ago.
>>
>>560988104
hunt is also more tightly designed and less cbt (bad) and more cbt (good). pure kino
>>
Alright like 10 runs in and I’m already tired of clearing 2 rooms of UESC at the start of every cryo.

Yeah pretty good

>>560995447
i thought we wanted pve mode?
>>
>>560995290
it hasn't been getting 60k for over a week now.

it's been dropping 5k~ a day pretty consistently.
>>
>>560988104
Hunt is great last I played it. Which was 2022 I think? I don't remember why I stopped playing.

What exactly changes in the game when the next season starts? What new content does the game get?

You lose all of your shit and get to grind all of the faction challenges again. Oh, and Dire Marsh is only available at night. Isn't that awesome?

>new content
There isn't any guarantee of new content even though this is a live service game. The only thing they've said is they will wipe your vault and credits. So you will lose stuff.
>>
>>560995684
Map(s), shells, loot and guns.
>>
>>560995752
>Oh, and Dire Marsh is only available at night
like a night time variant of it or you can only play it at night and if thats so how does the game interpret timezones where it is night somewhere always?
>>
Why didn't they just make Cryo Archive a good map?
>>
>>560995843
They haven't said any of this.

>>560995981
Why didnt they just make marathon a good game?

>>560995547
A campaign with story maybe, cryo is aesthetically interesting, I really like the load in music. But yeah a PvE mode would get boring so fucking fast

Bullshit. All it takes is enabling PvE lobby - literally allowing players to spawn into a map without any other players. Its piss easy - you can already do that at the very beginning of the game. So no, its very easy, doesnt take much effort either. Its the fact that they are retarded and wont do it because being obstinate retards is their moto.
>>
>>560995981
Cryo Archive has been complete since 2024. HiddenXperia played it then and said it's very similar. Sans the Compiler, which he obviously hasn't seen yet. It takes Bungie too long to do literally anything. If they make a mistake it takes them 3 years to fix it. This is the "best" live service gamedev btw
>>
>>560996160
WOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE A SAFE WALLET WOULD'VE BEEN GOOD GUYS
>>
>>560996160
If Bungie was truly evil which I think they are they have SBMM where if they detect you have extremely rare items and if you do they match you with super sweats
>>
>>560996239
>Cryo Archive has been complete since 2024. HiddenXperia played it then and said it's very similar.
Oh fuck I forgot they did let people play it back then, that's hilarious.
>>
>>560995981
that wouldn't have been hardcore and niche enough
>>
why wouldnt bungie just make a normal game for normal people
>>
>bungie has the raid races which are super simple to follow and draw even some group of people who don't play destiny to watch
>bungie made the cyro archive in which there are like 3 main mechanics that are constantly running with no obvious thing that lets you look at the screen and understood who is ahead and who is behind
fucking baffling

>it took bungie 5 years to make cryo archive
how

>>560996470
This game was spawned during the time when they were on top and could do no wrong and were managed by the absolute worst nepo/diversity hires. This is just another game in a long list of games that will come out in the next 2 or 3 years that was greenlit at the worst time in gaming.

people are thinking night marsh will unlock the upper floors of Complex since that's where the pre-launch cinematic happens
new shell is obvious
cradle is maybe a hub space/customization thing?

You have to do all your shit contracts over and over again so half the playerbase will quit, season 2 has built in 10 minute queues.

There's no way it's a hub space. Probably some more bullshit passive stuff for your shell or a way to fuck with guns more.

aka a place that exists just to advertise skins

You can already get a sneak peak for Night Dire Marsh right now; the upper levels of Complex that is.
In the inner area of Complex, just after all the shipping crates and on the side that the giant elevator isn't blocked and roped off, there are two rooms on either side of the open-air hallway (below and further down is usually a UESC locked box that spawns in UESC to fight?) inside one of the rooms on the top-right corner of the glass there is a switch, someone else needs to go to the other switch (I never got to that one, someone else was at it, they said it was in the middle of crates) a smaller door opens up behind a coat closet and its a small elevator that takes you up to a storage room, it's small and there are a few chests in there but there are extremely thin, rectangular windows that allow you to barely peer inside and you can literally see the room from the cutscene on the other side.

Probably one of the more fun little things you can do

If you read through the Codex and complete all of the Sekiguchi Priority Contracts (>implying, I'm stil haven't done them all, I only know this from YouTubers; I can provide the video if you'd like) a lot of people think that the Symbiote we inject ourselves in is this new "Cradle" mechanic

Watchin cbgray stream, they're complaining about rng. Are the cores from the vaults rng based? so there's no guarantee to get to vault 7?
>>
>>560993446
holy shit geometry dash
>>
>>561002926
Yeah every single one is rng
On top of that vault 6 has a rare rng key to unlock it and the item you need inside it is rng.
Worlds first was between two teams, one of them didnt get the rng item the other did
