Havin' a blast
How many Runners remain? Do you even know? There would have been 15k on Sunday night, maybe less. Such a loss. Do you feel it in your heart? Does it leave a hole? Joe Cross was my finest recruit. He understood sacrifice and when one is necessary. I honor his memory each day. When our enemy rises, we meet their challenge. It is why I created the Hand of Rape. I found the best. The cruelest. The most efficient rapists in the universe... and taught them how to be better. My Runner Rapists are coming for you. It is your time to rise.
>>565830205Based.Rape Bungie.
>>565829854I really want to do Cryo successfully but I literally can't, my team is never on anymore and my fills have been horrible.
We should be getting a new shell cinematic this week.
>>565830556with fills i think you're lucky to get a kill on one-two squads and exfil with 10-25k of goop, vaults and compiler are for trios
>>565767717Pretty sure high level perimeter is a deathtrap because there's basically no reason to go other than keys, so every team is a stack of purples/golds clearing key rooms. Been thinking about trying rook on perimeter to dig for leftovers
>>565831070how do people play rook instead of using sponsored kits, rook feels like putting my balls in a vice
>>565830706Vault 1 and 2 are easy enough to do with fills, the others are doable if you wait for some decent randoms and ask if they want to run it back with whatever key. Also works with super high level players and compilers, they always need DNA keys and will sometimes be down to run it if you offer some. Only successfully pulled that off once, though.
>>565831223I find Rook fun and calming.
>>565831223Rook is significantly faster to matchmake than normal runs, at least in my experience.
Some people just have no appreciation for spontaneous acts of kindness. I was just there for the contract, so I camped on the roof of the building south of Overflow. I managed to sneak away while that Recon was busy with the wraith warden and successfully completed the contract. Also, I like the Lookout gun. Took it because it was free with the upgrade, but it's accurate, powerful, and has great ammo economy.
>>565832934Also, I've never noticed the forests and mountains around the Perimeter.
>>565831223Rooks are spawned when players a killed.This means the purple teams have killed off the weaker ones and are looking to exfil. Lately with all the key rooms I've been finding leftover blues and materials and on final exfil I'm usually last player on the map. Obviously if you hear footsteps you either need to book it or hide. Sure you can 1v3 them but I don't think a death squad rotating key rooms around the map is gonna fall for the "chase the rook around the corridor into the surprise claymores" trick.
I'm not the only oneOh oh oohI'm not the only one
>Concord 3 general still exists.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5E8_c78THk
why is sponsored queue sweatier than regular games now? i used to be able to get some quick wins to get money for heals, now im just getting rekt more than regular runs. not a single exfil today
>>565838023it was me. i killed you
>>565838023Kovaaks is 10 bucks
CE Tactical Sidearm just saved my butt
>>565838023>get money for healsplay rook and go to perimeter or outpost and farm unstable diodes, gel, and biomass.
12k peak tonight sneed em
I have become death, destroyer of destroyers
>>565831223>sponsored kitI have to 1v3 with white shields>rookI have green shields, a wstr, claymores and a blue backpack, most of the other teams are dead and I can team up with other rooks or uesc to 1(and friends)v3 the last team for super fat loot.
>>565830205Thread Anthem https://youtu.be/NpYh_Ffqy8g?zs6KDp5qGcuEKPf9
>>565841074>wipe the entire lobby with my 3 stack>die to rooks cause I run with my knife out for the rest of the raidBig sad
Sniped a rook with my 3 stack on a Perimeter run yesterday and I tried to rush to him and tell him not to give up so we could get C.A.R.R.I. points but he took his own life right as I got within audible range.
>>565842765well you wouldn't of gotten any points anyway, that's only for solos and rooks
>>565832934how hard is it to kill a warden solo?
>>565847270Not very hard you just need a lot of ammo
>>565847347ok and the recruits respawn?
>>565847552yeah the longer it takes the more recruits you have to deal with, they keep coming until he's dead
Out of sheer curiosity, how many of you have killed a Compiler?How many of you haven't opened a single vault?
>>565847679ok thanks
>>565847270Wraith warden is piss easy, you just shoot him from the roof. Tox is a bit harder but you can cheese him if you get him to path to a certain doorway. Scorch is turbo AIDS even with a squad.
>>565847894haven't opened a vault but I have keys for all of them
>>565847894Opened 4 vaults, struggling with the last two due to lack of key drops.
>>5658478945 vaults, probably gonna try running my 6 key this weekend
>>565847894I haven't even played since launch weekend
Bungie needs to use a nuLinkinPark song for s2 teaser
>>565847894I've never loaded into cryo and have only played outpost ~5 times
>>565832934Never trust a Recon.
>get a massive following of rooks when my stack is doing pinwheel>loot the red room>suddenly half of them take out their shotguns and claymores>downs my entire team except me>I clean the rest of the rooks up and revive the innocent onesWhy are rooks like this?
>>565847894No vaults, no compiler. I don’t play Cryo, just Outpost.
>>565847894I opened onehaven't played since last Friday. And honestly, I think I'm done
>>565847894I am level 23.
If Bungie had any studio talent they’d let me broadcast prox chat from Thief’s drone.
>>565847894My Cryo experience was getting approximately 30 grenades thrown at me during second shootout with UESC.
>>565854665Hardcore game no bitching
>>565847894I haven't opened a vault. I have a few cryo exfils under my belt though. I've played with some prestige weapon mods before. But I only have 173 hours in it
>>565854665>corner a team against a dead end in cryo>throw a ton of grenades and kill all of them>hear footsteps while we're healing>third party does the same thing and throws a ton of grenades at us while we're corneredPain
did CT address the numbers scandal? Watched five minutes of his vid, he was covering something else
Bungie needs TheFaithfulSheriff for Season 2
>>565856346Why not comment under his video where people would know this
>>565856884good idea
When is the comeback happening so I can study it?
>>565856884they aren't discussing it, don't know if it was covered or not
>>565857469So why don’t you comment it and start the discussion where people are more likely to know? For example, I don’t know who CT or what the numbers scandal is… and I’m just one anon…
>>565857863It's a scandal that has rocked the fanbase and the anti fanbase to its very runner's core
Dead game.Dead dev.Dead thread.
>>5658478945 vaults, no compiler. Still have to find a vault 6 key and get that subroutine because Bungie thought it'd be hilarious to make the thing never drop. I'm at around 30-ish cryo exfils so I'm pretty familiar and confident with the place at this point.>>565855816Desu I just make a point to tell my team to never fight in certain areas and bring 2 bubbles with me to deflect the initial spam that comes or to stop us getting rimmed if we're looting a vault. It's kind of aids but you really should be bringing bubbles just because of how sudden ambushes and third parties can be in Cryo>Right angle corridors>Vents>Basically any open area in control (top floor catwalks, bottom floor center)>Any room that has a door and is super enclosed (basically if you can't move more than 5m~ from the entrance without running out of space it's too small)>Entrances themselvesNever fucking fight in these areas since literally 2 frag grenades is all it takes to fuck your entire team. Even if you think you could kill a team by pushing into these areas just don't do it, it's never worth the risk. The right angle corridors are especially killer because people will often think they're safe around a corner but people with a brain just walk closer so they can bounce the grenade off a wall and under their feet.
FINALITY TAKES SHAPEACCEPT BUNGIE'S RAPEACCEPT YOUR RAPEACCEPT MARATHON'S FATEBE GAPEDSONY IS NOT BUNGIE'S SALVATION THEY ARE THEIR RUINATION
>we might get 12k peak before thursdaylmao
why is matchmaking taking a brick yo
>>565847894No compiler, subroutines gotten from 1, 2, 3, and 5. Got fucked on all three 04 keys we ever found and we're currently just drowning in 02 keys. I have a single 06 key but haven't gone for it yet. Gotten blown up by cheaters and group queuers pretty fuckin often, it's fairly demoralizing. And we're not even that good so discounting the possibility of aforementioned bullshit it's still probably like a 50/50 if we can succeed at vault 06.
>>565865348Answer: The game literally cannot find you people to play with at this point. Welcome to the death spiral.
Ez 13k today
>>565865634fuck you bitch
Ack raiders still getting review bombed
Welcome, to Marathon.
>>565865389>>565864276you two should team up
I tried to play as much as I could before it completely died. Still never made it into Cryo. I miss Anthem, boys.
>>565867092what was anthem like?
I have a big S2 cope where I think with people having a better understanding of how the upgrade trees work and which ones matter most, we'll see people that return have better resources to actually enjoy the game instead of getting gapped. Might be better retention if everyone knows that NuCal and CyAc are two rush trees that you need to level out first to reliably sustain yourself and your vault. Bungie need to fix some of the nodes (cough blue shields cough) and make them earlier upgrades, but my life in this game is night and day with all of the heat and health items available on demand for relatively cheap. Being able to just stay blue shielded if I want is really nice, too. They kind of fucked up on the power floor side of things; most of the trees don't feel meaningful to upgrade until you're so far into them it's already past the point where you needed them.
>>565869126But who honestly wants to go through a couple hundred hours of grinding an upgrade tree that gets reset in 3 months?I don't. I'm not gonna play season two. What does it have to add? A map we had before but at night? Woooow, that really wants to make me subject myself to virtual rape again.
>>565869932There's a new shell, too. Sentinel. Whatever that'll be. Likely some new priority contracts with extra lore too but Im vaguely pulling that out of my memory assBut yeah Im envisioning the gameplay loop of trying to scavenge gray materials just to not have Vandal suck fucking ass early game again, and Im not too thrilled about it
>>565869126I don’t see it. People mapped out what stuff is crucial to go for, what you’re going to need a lot of with overlaps, Traxus to full quest completion=daily yellow mods, it didn’t move the needle and people got filtered. I’m not saying bungie can’t improve things but I think there will still be people falling in beginner’s traps. There was some idiot I lfg’d with who was like yeah man it’s such bullshit never enough credits, I can’t even buy ammo. I’m like how? He goes on to tell me he always brings at least 400-800 rounds a match and I’m like wtf. Idk there’s only so much horse to water shit you can do for some people. Some of the later upgrades stuff maybe it gets tweaked but then again we need to have the quality stuff hold value at each point of the way. Yes it might be redundant by time you get blue shield you might be loaded with purples and blues but it feels fair enough for that access as your baseline. I think the biggest problem and self tell people have is they never really did any of the quests and just have been brute forcing the general quests and getting burnt out way fast. They also don’t have much leveled so all the freebie Biolens you could get from Mida and NuCal just doesn’t compute
>>565869126>she has faith bungie will improve marathonwhere have you been the past two months. they'll probably make the grind 5x worse and then throw their hands up when the player count goes from 6,500 to 12,000 and starts nosediving again.
>>565865389The biggest thing that feels like shit and Bungie basically didn’t think things through is the entire conversation of key farming might as well be a separate game and you feel like you wasted your time doing faction missions after a certain point when you could’ve been doing the mindless grind.I know there’s some stuff that you get on a full quest chain completion but it’s like the entire key grind and trying your luck in cryo is so needlessly tedious that it just hits a point of being boring as shit. Waste your time not having a warden spawn or have a key, or lockdown has no keys, rinse repeat , spend 200 hours to maybe see a 6 key, and bungie had the balls to make subroutines not a 100% drop on launch,wtf? None of it makes any sense and I think if any aspiring hopefuls knew how bad it is, theyd probably leave in bigger numbers. I regret not doing more key focuses earlier before things became a cheater shit hole.
"Seasonal updates will include a unique set of new content, which are the things you do, explore, and collect on Tau Ceti. This can include any combination of: weapons, mods, cores, implants, backpacks, Runner shells, zones, PvE combatants, faction upgrades, contracts, and new ways to play existing zones.">new ways to play existing zonesThe way Bungie wrote this really makes it seem like truly new maps will be few and far between........ hm...
>>565871912i cant read it literally says zones after shells i'm logging off there is some hopium but it's faint good night
>>565871474It also doesn’t help the approved content creators poop socked things and outsourced their cryo keys to their simp fan base so they’d always have a run and I’m sure Bungie will assume that everything is actually pretty fair and not at all time consuming
>>565871195I honestly can't understand the kind of person that just avoids the actual contract quests. They're the more interesting ones, they have the aura farm AIs, and upgrade mats. I agree there's only so much you can do to make people engage with the content they need to engage with to have a good time, but I don't know what kind of onboarding short of plastering some big "Your next upgrade is close! NuCal gives you [Panacea Kit] in X levels!" on the main menu can breach some thick skulls. I agree that it makes sense as it is for blue shields to become my new floor when I can regularly stack them already, because it means I never end up back in freekit hell after getting this far, but casuals need some sort of stepping stone.>>565871474Bungie's stubborn autism isn't new to me I'm just hoping that maybe at least someone out of the 400 mooks working on this shit has figured out a way to soften the blows the casual playerbase take. They need to drop the fucking streamer obsessions, no one is being driven to the game by Chud Annoying Orange or Stroud doing all the things they want to be able to do.>>565872206This anon has it right, the streamer exp (which they keep balancing off of) is totally alien to your actual player experience it's ridiculous. I have to run pinwheel loops for nothing and some fag with a viewer base can just ask any retard to sacrifice their 6 key to him on a whim.
I’m noticing that weird copium fizzled of people trying to argue that characters could have different forms/subclasses with them by way of being a different “series” but I feel like that series listing in shells just was the rearranging of lingo and placeholders for what the characters used to be called . How Runner became shell(despite lore and dialogue using Runner all the time),shell was used for what is normally a skin, and series was a later ass pull
>sub 14k 24h peakWe won’t survive without DLSS5………. anons….
>>565872672"runner" prolly refers to the consciousness behind a shell, so not the same i think
>>565872672The only thing I know is that the personalities apply to the Runner and influence them, but they're not the same as the shell. E.g. Destroyer is a shell, but Locus is the personality in it and voice, and the Runner is (You). I do hope they eventually put some skins out that give us shit like similar silhouetted shells with different personalities. FemDestroyer pls.
>back to back to back perimeter fills>first round key run. killed 2 teams on the way to overflow and grabbed another key off the 3rd team. 3rd team hauled ass to overflow to fuck with us when their key was for north relay. tsk tsk>perimeter fill with the key i got. must have been a duo cause neither of them were talking after the mic patch. doesn't matter, these two were in sync and they fucked everyone that got in our way. looted the key room and exfiltrated. the vandal was using the Demolition and that gun FUCKS!>buy my own demolition and mod it up to try. 3rd key run GO! spawn south relay but key is for hauler terrace. pass by overflow and can see some team in the windows. they try to flank us but my demolition rips through two of them. the 3rd vandal is a free kit and just kamikazes into us. make our way through hauler without incident, just bots. loot the terrace and head to north relay. start the exfil and my teammate calls out another team. they catch us by surprise. NO NO NO NO NO. our assassin drops smoke and they down 2 of us. firing wildly in their direction. successfully exfil and the after game cam is them watching the smoke clear and we're nowhere to be seen.it's weird that I sometimes get better teammates when they're random fillers than the teammates i've added over time.
>>565872508Yeah I do think there can be better things done to be like hey dummy don’t spend5-10k to make a kit at full price from armory to do a baby starting area quest. Should’ve had a firing range and something to just test and feel out all the stuff the game has, here’s a hack box this is what happens , you’re poisoned use this to clear it and protect. This is what this stat does, you can get more of it through upgrades. Etc I get why people get lost in things.Streamer experience really tainted this shit, perfect summary is when you got greasy Skarrow who’s matchmaking was so minimally diverse he was in the same lobby as his buddies 3-4 times back to back and they of course teamed up in Cryo. I also remember these guys were tagging in anybody like clockwork when subroutines were not guaranteed, it just was never feasible to expect that to work for anybody not no lifeing.It’s not impossible of a map and sometimes you can just win by the skin of your teeth, but I think it was a big mistake to make Cryo the closed quarters clusterfuck map. Even on parts of outpost and dire that can get cramped, you have options and a little verticality and space, cryo it’s like maybe a could of real stair wells and then pipes, chutes and punching somebody at point blank. It’s not even tense or feels earned. The entire thing just feels like they wanted to impress some dickhead who thinks it’s like a Destiny dungeon or raid and it just plays a bit blegh. Idk I think there’s going to be a lot of interesting info when more people start talking about this game’s dev, a lot of stuff just seems random.
>>565867184NTA but i've heard people call it the Iron Man simulator.
>>565873036I know but what I’m saying is that is a relatively newer change.you can go to old materials pages for Marathon preview stuff and “Shell” was listed as something on the battle pass and that’s when people were like oh here we go paywalling characters, but it was when Shell was being used as a cosmetic skin. Runner select was present in the play tests. But I get this is all moot, I’m still mad as hell that we didn’t get custom characters/your guys.
>>565873857Changing directors and dumping custom shells for the hero shooter shit definitely sucks ass, especially since the baseline shells don't exactly have more than a few lines. Would have preferred personal customization big time over the current system.
Where do I get biolense seeds? I know about Overflow and Greenhouse, but is there more to it?
Only 10,300 Lux to buy all the bundles...
>>565874569at Sneed's Feed & Seed (formaly known as Chucks)
>>565874569HahahaHahahahahahahahahah
>>565874569You'll get shields from factions, don't worry about buying them
>>565874569Just have a premade trio friend group who are cracked at the game, play at the same time as you and farm cryo. Easy
>>565873563I remember seeing that cuck bitch on Twitter about his lack of diverse lobby like he was just forced to team with his buddies and had no control. Poopsocks in general were mad as fuck when they no-lifed to 200+ and were stuck fighting people as lifeless as them instead of smashing the Dads who retreated into the sponsored queue. Which speaking of sponsored queue, I think it's a pretty contentious playlist because it's obviously holding the casual playerbase together right now and it does work great as a jumping off point for getting a new kit together or running your low level friends without risk to your own stash, but I also think it's making people dependent on the BR-lite which isn't healthy for the longterm state of the game. Gamer Dads have to be coaxed past their fear of losing shit, fighting better geared players, and the sponsor queue isn't letting them do that right now.
>>565875148For the last few days of playing sponsored, I had some of the most competent teammates ever. No mics, but they reacted to my pings and generally seemed to know what's going on.
>>565872508>I honestly can't understand the kind of person that just avoids the actual contract quests.Running the same gauntlet of Bio to Quarantine and back gets fucking oldAlso, my Traxus quest is fucking bugged and I literally cant progress it even if I wanted to
>>565875309Jealous, I've only had people with their fans running next to their mics in the sponsored queue. Have had better luck on the main maps with these random foreign girls that don't talk a lot but are extremely competent and basically push and correctly box in enemy teams as my fills.
>>565874569i suck at this game and i unlocked blue shields from nucal vip rankups that i grinded with the repeatable contracts
>>565875476>my Traxus quest is fucking bugged and I literally cant progress it even if I wanted towhich one? i'm stuck on "find explosives in western maintenance and use them on runners and uesc" it doesn't show any marker in game
>>565875745>"find explosives in western maintenance and use them on runners and uesc"that's the outside area west of the big main hall, did you check there?
>>565875745I did that one yesterday. I think mine's the 5/5 of the series youre on. You sure youre in the right spot?
>>565874569mida contracts.
>>565876087yes i found the buildings that were depicted in a youtube video but without the quest marker...
>>565875745>"find explosives in western maintenance and use them on runners and uesc"it's not in maintenance. it's off to the right side where the walkways and trucks are. bring an OS debug because you gotta break some windows and jump through green beams. once you've done that part, you can just buy frag grenades and do the contract on any map.
>>565875745If it's contested somebody took them first
>>565876319>>565875745Thats a contested contract, isn't it? Maybe people are grabbing your shit before you get there.You are finding a small, enclosed room that shoots off of the southern wall of western maintenance, and has green lasers and red doorshields and shit, right?
>>565867184Horrible story/characters, really bad balancing, unstable server bullshit, but the flying was fun. It was a game that legitimately had a lot of potential gameplay wise but was just put together like shit. You could occasionally see the vision through the tedium, if it was made by not-Bioware it may have been something special. Alas, you did not miss out if you didn't play it.
>>565876470>>565876380>>565876374I'll give it another shot later. Thanks guys
>>565874569They are possible to spawn in Overflow/Greenhouse but the chance is very low just due to Perimeter/Dire Marsh having lower quality items in general than Outpost. If you're committed to finding them there, play Thief and use your visor to scan for purple containers.A semi-reliable way to get them is to get MIDA to VIP rank (unlocks at rank 30) and keep getting MIDA rep as there's a good chance to get them for VIP rank ups. They are also potential spawns in Outpost's pinnacle room (3 red keycards), and fairly common in Cryo clearance 3 rooms/vaults. They can also appear alongside all other purple salvage in lockdown caches.Unfortunately it's probably the hardest purple salvage to find.
i really want to experience the lore and quests in cryo, why does it have to be so hard :(
>>565877070you will watch streamers take on compiler and you will like it
>Have enough for a CARRI key template>4/4 successful raids so far tonight>Fuck it, we ball>it's another guy girl duo>they're in purples>tell'em i got a key template and they're down for sitting tight and playing bodyguard. >spawn in at overflow and we catch another team doing the same, hiding in the auxiliary building>only difference is we're in purples and their in greens.>kill them and head and check for exfils. >north relay and station>FUCK>make our way through hauler to north relay>another team is just camping the middle building>fuck around with them for a bit cause they got blues but they have snipers and we don't>the guy pulls a cheeky move and activates the exfil and we book it to station>just as we get there the secured resources alarm goes off>it's just a rook and we beam him.>exfil at station>team from north relay was right on our assess.>Dire marsh bio research tank key
>>565829854if bungie fired all the troons and hired chuds right this second and gave them a year to fix marathon do you think it could be saved?
>>565831389i dont know what any of that means and thats the problem with this game. unless you no life sweat these terms mean absolutely nothing to the average player
>>565832934LOL. What a fucking chump you are.
>>565871823Yeah, between us my crew has maybe 500-550 hours (250 mine) and we've found a single 06 key. I regularly hit the pinnacle room in Pinwheel and kill bosses, have hit vaults at least a few times each (discounting 02 which I've hit like 10 times) - like giving Bungie the benefit of the doubt I imagine the thought was that there would be more general community interaction - one 06 key would get 3 people the subroutine, if you need it, surely you can find someone who needs a team to use their key! But people who have already killed Compiler are gunning for you if you dare approach 06, there isn't a magic cooperative LFG wonderland (and it's laughable that Bungie didn't even try to set anything up like that in game), completing it gets harder and harder as the season goes on as cheaters/group queuers/people who aren't geared to the teeth and gatekeeping the fuck out of it infest every map no longer exist in your lobby, etc etcThere needs to be a way to target farm keys, RNG is way too big of a factor. Or just do something different than the key system for Vaults, it is fairly unreasonable for people to even aspire to as is.
>see consolebot>wait for them to see me>they instantly engage>i just stand there, hoping they pick up on me not wanting to fight them>they down me then come to executefucking consolefags i swear to fucking god they literally are no different than the UESC bots, are they literally that braindead that they can't see i don't want to attack them and just do my shit.this literally never happens to me when i do it to steamfags.
>>565874569I've only been able to get Biolens not in the maps but by leveling up certain factions. People say MIDA give them out but I've also had good luck getting them from NuCal. They're just an annoyance mainly because their drop rate is not only low but they're required to unlock blue shields as a purchasable upgrade.
AAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE
>>565880809its 2am on a tuesdaythats the only timezone that matters
>>565878135Chuds would never make this game. They'd make a singleplayer/coop Marathon experience with arcade-ish PvP to relive the Halo days. Not a tranny extraction shooter whose market strategy is "YOU'RE GONNA DIE OVER AND OVER LOLOLOL WE ARE THE DAKR SOULS OF FPS" with depth no greater than Quake 3 Arena despite the perma death.
>>565881052>with depth no greater than Quake 3 Arenatwo of the best fps ever made whats your point
>>565878787The only real problem is the 6 key needs a reliable source or a huge boost in drop rate. In general I feel like cryo keys work but they need to feel like something you can go get pretty easily. Just kill a warden, just open red room etc.
>>565877070there are no story contracts in cryo>>565877359It's for the exact people who give 0 fucks about whatever lore entries they got from looting everything in cryo and farming compiler
>>565881516All they need to do is buff the drop rate on the 6 key a bit and make it so it's guaranteed one of the world events will spawn every lobby, it's complete bullshit that you could go 5 games on perimeter with no warden, or 5 on marsh with no warden, lockdown, or anomaly. Just a dead waste of a lobby
guys i just ate these and now i have the worst heartburn i’ve ever had in my life. it burns to breathe from the acid. i slammed 4 tums but it’s doing nothing. i can eat spicy food no problem i eat buldok 2x spicy all the time with no issues. i feel like im dying right now though from these things. do not buy. holy shit this is aids.
>>565881516I'm also struggling to get 4. I think a part of it is that I just don't do Scorch Warden on Dire Marsh, because I play solo a lot of the time and Dire Marsh fucking sucks. And I hate that I have so many 2s because the Watchtower is fucking useless, I don't even take it unless I have space for it so I can sell it. Anything this heavily RNG gated is just prone to bad luck being a huge factor, which fuckin sucks.
wanna save this game?start by getting rid of ziegler
>Paradigm Shift 5/5>be me, ultra giga-chud Destroyer>get to Bio-Research, trans Vandal already doing the contested room>stand right outside the red barrier, staring her down>she takes the item then dips to the DCON>i run after her, ready to kill her and take the item for myself>she turns around and jumps up and down, shaking their head no>i stop in my tracks and let her gogod damn Vandal, she knows im a softie for her...
>>565881565>It's for the exact people who give 0 fucks about whatever lore entries they got from looting everything in cryo and farming compileris bungie stupid?
>>565883454I like the game but there's an absolutely baffling divide between the gameplay and the gameplay the lore/environments would be appropriate for.
>>565883820Me too. some of the heavy scifi writing goes over my head and other times i'm yearning to have a more linear and narrative driven experience while i bash my head against _gantry's latest doordash order. It's a really odd game. I think it's lowkey a gem though. I'm very thankful I picked it up.
>>565882148what did Ziegler do
>>565884165shoved a minmum viable product out the door.
a hundred thousand blast havers used to live here.....now it's a ghost town...........
who i really admire most is the people who've gotten tattoos based on shit in this game
>>565885791honestly you could choose much less cool things to tattoo on yourself
Alright done with Dire Marsh. On to Perimeter, as little of value there is to even note there. Maybe next season some neat stuff will be added to it.https://rentry.co/6rwx3y49 for the outpost/cryo maps also updated
This game feels terrible on mouse and keyboard, I dont understand why but this shit is way better on a controller
>>565887736something about the FOV maybe? I have it at max (105) but it still doesn't feel like 105 would be in other games
ZIEGLER!!!WHAT HAVE YOU DONETHIS IS LE BADbarrett bros please console me...
Chud Barrett lost
>>565887736I'm on PC but play with controller. Feels way better
>>565887357Peak>>565847894Done vaults 1-5 with my team, we fucked up our combined 3 vault 6 keys (our average level is 140, and we're grinding outpost), currently trying to find more.Subroutine 6 is so hard to get man. You need the super rare 06 key, and your cryo run has to be perfect. Last attempt we did we got bumrushed in labs as we were opening the door. It's probably going to get worse, I've seen clips of people camping the 06 exit now.
>>565888997>Subroutine 6 is so hard to get man. You need the super rare 06 key, and your cryo run has to be perfect. Last attempt we did we got bumrushed in labs as we were opening the door. It's probably going to get worse, I've seen clips of people camping the 06 exit now.Are people really rushing it as soon as the alert pops up? At first glance it seems like one of the eqsier ones since all you need is clearance 4 instead or having to hunt bosses or anything. Isn't it suicide to try to gank teams that are already in labs?
Solo Outpost is complete aids, its literally just>Assassinigger hiding in a corner invis until they hear pinwheel open>Assassinigger hiding in a corner invis until they hear an exfil activate>Spawn within 5 feet of someone with a purple shield when you have a free kitThese MIDA contracts can go fuck themselves honestly.
>>565890834I picked recon specifically to hunt these kind of assassins in flight control, processing and dorms. Works well
>start the game>battleye>have to wait 4 minutes until it unshits its brains and launchers the gameSeriously...
>>565891307>doesn't at all stop cheatersheheh
server maintenance later today?
>>565891661Yeah
one dev for every ten players right nowsounds economical
>>565829854How is it that the most entertaining way of interacting with this game watching the chart drop>rape or be rapedthis begins to bore rapidly and it's not like the environments are interesting either. Bungie really out here creaing the first chart-type game. Where are we betting it hits post earnings call on friday?
>>565891415And that is the greatest issue the game has. You cannot have a "hardcore" "PvP" (forget about vE) online-only live "service" when you have cheaters shitting up your game. No sane person wants to play a game where ANY potential opponent is a cheater. Why go through all the stress and aggravation of playing against cheaters? And so the game is going to shitbin, and Season 2 with inventory and progress wipes will not do anything at all to boost player numbers, unless they are planning to make an uber-awesome patch that somehow fixes cheating. There will be no season 3 for this game.
Finally caved in. Played and claimed those last two rewards from CyAc for VIP status. Nothingburger.
>>565893286zamn bro three mags worth of shooting and a backpack and two entire microchips we going to cryo w/ this one
Did not expect to get this as a reward for claiming all upgrades though.
I stopped at level 60. Anything worth striving for before the wipe? Got cyac vip.
>>565893356Says all that needs to be said about the game.
>>565893518This is my faction situation. I need to claim 5 rewards from NuCal for VIP status, but i cannot get all the upgrades to max out capstones.>need 2 hazard capsules to unlock purple shields for purchaseI'm so fucking done with this shit.
>>565893859Vault is not big enough when you have developed advenced squirrelling techniques.
>new low 3724 playersBy next week the number between the lowest low and maintenance will be almost the same, kek
>>565893859>m so fucking done with this shit.Took the words outta my fucking mouth
>>565893859Dude you have way more progress than me at the same level. I hated the fact they made solo faster to level. Unless you've been carrying those rewardsthe entire time I didn't get even half your progress.
>>565853479>Never trust a Recon.Where the fuck did that come from? Keep my shell's name out yo fucking mouth
>>565894245>advenced squirrelling techniques.Let's see you fit these nuts in your mouth
>>565894837Last i played was 27th of March. I have not played Marathon until today, because i was vexed regarding space in the vault. I would have claimed the VIP rank then if i decided to sell a few WSTRs. I made that progress by playing Mar exclusively, in teams and solo. Back then there was no CARRI or boosts for solo. I played server slam, i played on launch until i gave up.
>>565895664Well, i will gnaw them at first, then bury them under some tree, then forget about them, and them some bear or scavenger will unearth and eat them. Walnuts and hazelnuts are awesome, acorns are acorns, and chestnuts are great when cooked.Oh, you meant testicles. Well, in that case, i will simply castrate you and feed your balls to some stray dogs or rats.
Hundreds of devs working on this shit and producing nothingburger patches must mean they're busy working on a big overhaul for season 2, right?
>>565894837Also, no, i have been carrying those rewards for ages.MIDA - 11Traxus - 15Arachne - 16 (mostly from being in teams)Sucky Gucchi - 7 because i did not even attempt at doing anything.
>>565897571Ofcourse not. Who the fuck knows what is going there unless they have some sort of surveillance in Bungo offices.There is a possibility that they are working on Destiny 3 or some other game, and so they shat out Mar and moved on.>they created a steam account 2 month after launch of the game to see what is going on in discussions and communityPillocks.Also, great fucking game>4 minutes waiting time in the lobbyJust fucking do A PvE queue. I have not played this shit game for a month and robots almost kicked my ass - and they were not even purple shields. FFS.
Welp. Got killed by a fucking russian in solo. Gopnik has steam, xbox, AND PS accounts. Motherfucker followed me all the fucking way just to get fuckall that i had. Worse still, i pinged friendly and did not even shoot at the bastard, moved away from downed drone crate too because it had nothing of worth to me. Like, how fucking retarded do you have to be to pursue someone who is making a switchback route. Mothefucker.Also, no russian should be playing this game in the first place.
6 fucking hours of downtime?? I swear the other maintenances were nowhere near as long right?
>>565897571Just like when Destiny 2 wasn't getting shit, no. Bungie just doesn't do anything.
Made her cum and Triage watched
>PvE queueWe have that, join the rapetacular Reconman and 69GOD_GOKU69No pvpers will be left in the lobby

>>565901901>consoles>edge>NAThe more i experience, the more i realise that it is the people who are the problem, not a thing or an idea or a belief.
>3k an hour before maintenance Lmao well deserved bungie rape
13k is a respectable number for an extraction shooter.
>>565903296Maybe if it was indie and didn't cost $300M
>>565904574>f2p>casual fest >f2p>mogs marathon somehow>fair comparison considering we are a month and a half into the season which is when drop-off occurs.
Interesting, so people want to do key stuff outside of outpost. I'll kill them all. If you're doing this, gear up properly, so I don't instagib you before you blink.
>>565902754>>consolesYea, it's fun
>>565904837There's far more drop off after 7-9 years, and yet Hunt and Tarkov are both doing better.
>>565905050>Hunt and Tarkov are both doing better.Because they don't look like a retarded cartoon. It's more difficult to sell Marathon, because it doesn't look "realistic or brutal". It plays brutal, which is great, but visuals matter too.>But fortnite is doing greatThat looks like a pretty cartoon, not a retarded vomit cartoon. No roblox guns, or vault full of shitty weird icons. I played for 2 months and still don't know what half of those icons are. No, I will not read descriptions, fuck that, gibs me gun and footsteps, that's all I want.
>>565905420> I played for 2 months and still don't know what half of those icons are. No, I will not read descriptions, fuck that,

>he shoots robots>goes into alarm roomswhat for, just listen to someone else and then Bang Bang gang gang
>>565905002Ok, now play this game on a PC with standard office keyboard and mouse. See how it goes without aim assist.
Friendly fire disabled when? Getting ratted feels awful.
gaem too stressful if players shoot me... my Jiralhanae vagina hurrrts so bad...
>>565909445rapeape would never say this
>>565847894All 6 vaults. Finally killed him twice last Saturday.
Grenade stacks nerfed, Rook has less claymores.Camping not nerfed, I thrive.Time to beat my meat to feminine bussy and get back in the gamehttps://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_update_1063
>1 fucking grenade per stack instead of an actual nerf Well played Mr. Ziegler
>>565911437>Rook has less claymores.Damn, I just might join in on rape Bungie posting.
>>565881830It sounds disgusting anyway, why would you even buy this
>>565911437Incompetend developers.
>>565913246>Incompetend developers.Debatable. Why make it weaker, useless, and garbage. Just limit the amount of it.>But golden backpacks can still bring moreWell don't bring a fucking green
>>565913457A good way to fix grenade spam that countless people mentioned is to make them take longer to throw. Add an equip animation, a pin pull/activation animation, etc. Just lowering the stack side to fucking ONE is really annoying.
>>565913887>is really annoying.Longer animations or heat costs wouldn't be annoying? What's the point of having a stack of more than ONE, when it takes 2 business days to throw one.
>>565913887> is to make them take longer to throw. Add an equip animation, a pin pull/activation animation, etcAnd throwing arc too. Atomfall did that for throwable weapons and grenades - you need to pull the pin, aim, throw, and its not fast either, you need to be in a safe position. Same with molotovs and poison bombs and makeshift explosives too.>pull out item>light the fuse/cloth>aim>throw>can extinguish it or pull pin back if you want to cance the throwThey dont want to fiddle with animations, so they did a quick and dirty.Also, i got a warning from steam moderators for calling a blatant shill a shill. Fucking hell.
>>565914128Because it doesn't fix the spam issue. You still throw 6 frags in quick succession, you just need 5 inventory slots for that now instead of 2.>>565914282You can already aim the grenades by holding the button. They fly in an arc.
>>565911437Logical
chat this game is cooked chat
>>565911437amazing, another nothingburger
Tired of old skins, release a cool, special Recon skin in the store. Make it weird, glow or whatever, I don't give fuck
I feel like they're just balancing wrong. The barter system... Hell the entire armory is your catch up mechanic not your primary source for anything. Reducing the barters for grenades doesn't solve the problem of people hoarding grenades. They find them in raid or off of other players. It just eliminates more of the losing population from having enough to compete. The stack reduction makes sense though.
Trios meta is essentially:2 Destroyers + 1 Recon with 5 energy ampsOr 2 recons with energy amps + triage
>>565915490Thiefsisters... Not like this...
I liked Recon pre buff, that's all I used. New blood Recon players are pathetic, they can't do anything without pulse.Ghetto veteran pre-patch Recon used sound, didn't give a fuck if pulse is ready or not.Fuck them buffs and fuck them kids
>>565911437does bungo think they operate an in-game credits store? why are they nerfing barters more when they already mostly serve to cuck you out of upgrades whatever
Console aim assist might be worse than Destiny 2 pvp with the advantage of console and or controller. We had this LFG fill on PS5 and this guy's like oh I love all the Machine Guns they're so good for beaming, and we're like eh yeah they're ok rather use a snipe or precision. I shit you not this guy basically insta downs people with the Retaliator with barely anything on it from on top of Maintenance firing towards people on the back end of Algae Ponds. It's like in no way that would've ever worked for M+KB. When we take closer fights, he's got a default bully and is well out of the range band up against a guy with a m77, this guy just pretty much gets all headshots with the Bully and is overcompensating for being at further range. I think people just hate this game and it's tough to line up lobbies to get testing done, but the free as fuck autoaim of console is an actual scam.Honestly it makes perfect sense the longer I think of it, Snoy wants to sell more PS5s, so we'll give people the free cheats if they be a good pig
>>565915490>recon>metaSo basically cheaters get immunity from prosecution or even suspicion for using wallhacks.Fucking abominable joke of the game.
>>565911437I'm glad I quit this stupid fucking game when it was still fun
>>565918401Yeah, you say that, and then fuckers on PC run with controllers to get that sweet aim bot.This game is just shit.>cheaters because no anti-cheat>aim bot for consoles and controllers>no ability to disable cross-play on PCJust these 3 ruin the game completely.
>>565921304>when it was still fun
>>565921492Why are you in a general of a game that you think was never fun?
>>565921661Because it's fun.
>>565921797So you enjoy talking about a game you don't like? Explain.
Recon buff made cryo super gay, every team just holding up for minutes at a time waiting for the pulse so they can feel safe enough to move 50 feetBest to have a recon on your team too so you’ll know when you get pinged, either way not running at least one recon on your team is the objectively wrong choice, which brings you back to the initial problem with the recon ult where all it really does is announce your presence. If they’re gonna give that ult so much utility they should move the ping notification ability to another shell with less team utility like thief or vandal. The only counter to recon also being tied to the recon shell seems weird
>>565922113https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYXVhTUIQGc
>>565911437>tfw La CreativiDad solved this grenade and ammo storage elegantly >is lauded as a hack fraud>then you have Bungie take a crack at balancing nades>stack size = 1 is the fix Seriously, we live in twenty twenty six. These goofballs can't come up with a single creative solution to the problem they created? It's simple. You have a customizable backpack loadout that stores your gadgets and your ammo, and they are separate from your hauled loot. You could limit the amount of grenades someone could carry on them that is quickly accessible while storing a bulk quantity in your loot space. You have to manually click and drag each grenade into the pouch that can then be quick swapped to, same for everything else that is siloed into the exterior pouches on the backpacks. There, I balanced your game for you, Bungie. Pay me.
>>565921661>>565922113SAAAAAAAAAAR
>>565922338>super gay, every team just holding up for minutes at a time waiting for the pulse so they can feel safe enough to move 50 feetfirst permadeath fps? counter strike has been doing this more or less forever
Just did my first Convoy post patch. Dropped Gold Valuable and three Purple Salvage.Maybe Bungie is learning.
>>565923702only time I ever did it I got fucking two stacks of enzymes and some other bullshit
>>565921023yeah I can't imagine any review process is going to be able to actually determine someone's cheating when the recons just pop ult the moment someone gets close to them in situations where it makes no sense to, it's just too nuanced to tell easily. That's happened to me at least 3 times in Cryo of just creeping along, know that we're getting close to a team that's fighting bots so we're being really quiet - Recon pops ult in the middle of fighting bots so that it's not plain as fucking day why they knew exactly where we were and lobbed 30 grenades.
I'm happy we still have at least 10K players so I can keep ratting exit points>blue beam goes fweeeeAnd I've been there 5 mins before the one who wants to escape
>>565925089>so I can keep ratting exit pointsWith aimbotroller, forgot to mention that
>>565925089You're committing economic terrorism against Bungie by making people quit the game. What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>565925335Extraction shooters are for spiteful subhumans, stressful for normal people
Yesterday, I said that sponsored Dire Marsh ends tomorrow. I was wrong, it's on the 6th. We have 24 more hours to finish out Dire Marsh contracts.
>normal people who take a few nades into a match must suffer because some people took 20>rooks absolutely btfothanks bungie
>>565925089teach me your most effective exfil rat strats. favorite exfils to camp?
Ooh, rep packs refresh now.
>>565928401Great game, Bungie.
>>565925538This is truly the main reason why Marathon will never be able take off in its current state. Even if a potential player loves the universe and characters, the server slam alone turned away tons of people because it was just an extraction shooter with all the baggage that comes with it. You aren't going to be playing with fellow uncs or Bungie fans for the most part, you're going to be playing against the extraction shooter playerbase who will just as easily move over to another game if this dies.
>>565929119>fellow uncs or Bungie fansI'm neither.
>>565928668what is this supposed to show

Thief is wife to none, snowbunny to none, predator to all
>>565929326I paid for Arachne rep, my point were deducted, but I didn't level up.
Wasn't this game supposed to be monumental because voice actors and burnt peanut, what happened xisters?
>>565931264Pay to lose skin>>565931659Try rebooting the game
>>565929119Good, destiny players are faggots, it's a prerequisite to tolerating that game
>>565931659The item gives you 500 rep, and the level you needed required 900 and you showed it at 721, so presumably your rep was at 221 before you bought the 500 rep package. Granted, maybe it wasn't and the package didn't do anything, but your video doesn't show what your progress was at before purchase.
>>565931796the voice actors did a phenomenal job, and I hope we get more lines in s2.what Bungie really fucked up on is relying on streamers and content creators, AGAIN. I don't know what it'll take for them to realize that the influencer world is not what it used to be back in 2013-2017, but nobody is caring about their favorite internet puppet playing a sci-fi FPS nowadays.
>>565931796>Wasn't this game supposed to be monumental because voice actorsNo one ever said that.
>>565893286Nucal for purple shields and Mida for biolens seeds are the real bread winners
gonna start bringing green shields into ranked exclusively, it's always the faggot that bitches about it that goes down instantly and accomplishes nothing
>>565893859You can still barter for purple shields without the upgrade. Nucal trades them 1 for 1 for replicators. I have 10 people shields at all times. You people need to play the fucking game to find out. It's always stopping short before the diamonds with you people
>>565931796That was Destiny 1
they need to have banter voicelines between shells. Like assassin can say when she kills a destroyer "heh destroyer, you just got... destroyed"
>>565933031>You can still barter for purple shields without the upgrade. Nucal trades them 1 for 1 for replicatorsYes, WHEN the barter option becomes available.
>>565934473that would unironically be great. vermintide had great character banter

What a kit to be stuck with for the last day of the mode.
Am I missing something about Zeus railgun? It feels incredibly weak for how awkward it is to use.
>finally made rep purchases weekly instead of one-timeI feel bad for people who grinded skeiguchi lmao
>>565935843I think it has a huge projectile that gets caught on stuff easily, but I also fucking hate the Zeus. It seems like it just shoots fake bullets half the time.
I'm so fucking sick of going to Quarantine.
>>565935440Damn, been a while since I played that but yeah it brought the characters to life.
>have a marsh key in my vault>whatever I should use it>enter fill>whole team has keys>neat>fucking retarded nigger triage is shooting bots left and right for whatever reason as we move>go pass intersection and immediately see two lens flares on one of the overpasses looking our directionYOUWILLNEVERGUESSWHATHAPPENED
>>565936546You were all sniped, lost the keys, and now no one gets to use them?
>>565936546You all were just better, and you all got gold items in every key room.
>>565936546Rape, no foreplay
>>565935843When it's modded it's easily one of the most dangerous guns in the game when not in CQC range. I've got one at the moment that has a charge time of 0.4 seconds and can stretch out to 95m. Railguns whole gimmick is that they have a generous aim assist cone, so they're a lot more applicable for peeking with, but the Zeus also has a fun niche by virtue of being a volt weapon since you can use chips or just let it sit on your back for a while and the ammo will come back, so it cuts down on the amount of space ammo takes up in your inventory.Unmodded railguns are fucking ass in general though, but the Zeus is always better than the Ares just by virtue of having a faster base charge rate.
>>565893138People didn't play even when there weren't loads of cheaters. If they bothered to fix the cheater problem, it wouldn't pay anyway.
BR33 Victory lap is crazy good.
>>565893859goddamn i suck at this game. or do you never spend your credits on anything to build kits?
>>565893356>>565893749yeah i think they could retain players if they werent such kikes with loot
>>565937736i like that one too. i've only got my hands on it a few times
>>565937884NTA but you really only need to dip into your wallet to buy shields and backpacks. You can just rook run to get salvage items to trade for ammo, meds and whatever implants and weapons you can find while pissing around.
>>565937884I dont spend credits. I use rewards and barter for stuff. I have unlocked enough freebies from armory too.
>>565938316I've stopped bartering for meds because it was cucking me out of getting any upgrades and i still need to unlock purple barters
>>565938117killed a thief on permieter who was carrying two of them. Just lost one now however to some purple shield assassin

>>565935631wait sponsored queue isnt permanent? what are they gonna do after? half the people already left the game
CARRI event still confounds me. Why do other players get to reap the rewards of my contract being completed in a team if Im already getting the CARRI point for it if done solo? Basically no reason to do contracts in fill if youre trying to get points.
>>565942547It's supposed to incentivize people helping you with the contract in question, you absolute third worlder.

>>565941718experimental queue ideas that are universally dumb>Team Cryo - 4 crews spawn in, 2 south 2 north, each crew has a buddy crew marked on the map that behaves as teammates but requires prox chat to speak with, can't queue in as 6.>paid kits outpost - sponsor kits only, but no free kits, need to buy something>A FUCKING FIRING RANGE>Death Match - solo only, double player count, don't lose your gear upon dying but instead revive elsewhere, you get 3 lives, when you're dead you keep everything you found - any keys you bring drop upon death. Costs half your loadout value to queue.>Bounty - if you kill 2 squads of people, you/your crew are marked on the map and get a unique valuable like the temporal fragment that can turn into credits+salvage. Anyone that kills you gets the bounty transferred to them>S'pht Sucks - a Compiler just spawns in at some point.Surely one of these will happen. Not just free kit Perimeter.
Arachne is CBT to upgrade. I'm not getting a free WSTR on Rook this season.
>>565942862But what happens is I complete the contract anyways and theirs never gets done because its always some bullshit like kill 9 runners in one run.
>>565943692>Costs half your loadout value to queue.What does this mean?
>>565944612Just deducts a credit cost when you infil, since technically the mode would be completely risk free as the only thing you could lose is ammo / consumables / grenades so demanding some up front value that scales to what you're bringing in - if you want to run the lobby with a cryo kit and maybe find good shit, you need to ante up. So if you bring in a 30k loadout of gold guns/shields, you need to pay 15k - bring a V11 Punch and some batteries? Pay like 100.
>Paradigm Shift [2/5]>You have to go from Complex to Quarantine>mfw
>>565942998Why didn't you communicate with them first? Kinda dickish of you to be aware of what's happening without attempting to make contact
>>565945406Equally on the other guy who was clearly able to prox chat but didn't. Like 100% if no communication is made, my assumption is hostile in every situation, especially if it's clear that we both know the other is around. If the other guy communicates intent and I confirm - aces let's be buddies. In a smoke grenade, staring at each other with guns drawn maybe.
>>565935631Oh god, having to use this gun is miserable. If you don't find a replacement right away, you are screwed.

>>565945327That's most Dire March quests. Have fun.
got raped by a vandal after sniping three people in station. lost my purple sniper RIP
>>565945795Yeah fair. I just think this game programmed people to avoid prox chat or teaming up too early. Carri should've been a stock or inaugural event, it came way too late in the games release cycle to make an impact. Even if there is incentive to group up (for now) everyone's already too untrusting to engage with it.
>>565944131That's on Bungie, true. Contracts - or parts of contract - should be possible to do in one average run, especially if it's a standard.
>>565945327Wait for the one where you have to run Bioresearch > Quarantine then hit every single major PoI on the map, with waypoint markers on roofs or other exposed locations.
>>565946154I think a huge problem too is that the prox chat itself is so short ranged you can't really "tell" someone you're friendly in the rangebands you'd normally fight someone at. The audio only reaches to around 10 - 15m but it gives a notification for up to like 40m away at times. Because it's directional as well if someone decides they don't wanna be friendly all it does it confirm your position so they can kill you easier.There's just too much shit that makes being friendly high risk>no safe pocket>fast TTK>limited awareness cause of FPS view>2/3rds of contracts require you to exfil to actually complete them>rewards for killing a player is better than exfilling with them (arachne rep vs carri rewards? arachne wins easily)
>>565947248I think the general perception is that it's kill on sight and so people are generally trained to not even try to be friendly, but I've been pretty pleasantly surprised with how cooperative people can be so far.I've had pretty good success rates with being friendly from a seemingly advantageous position while ratting. Like if I sneak near someone and they don't know where I am, it's pretty common for them to be receptive to peace since it's clear I know where they are and am somewhere uncomfortably close to them. And people generally do not betray after they've agreed to be friendly, if they want to stay hostile they just don't talk back.Had decent success recruiting Rook armies in Outpost; we finished the last MIDA priority contract by telling Rooks what we're doing while on a free kit, ended up 6 manning the command wing, got mercy kits from the rooks so we could revive them if they went down. It was delightful.
>>565942547it's so i can load in with "shoot a bot and open a box" set as my contract, do my teammate's contracts, and collect commendations without subjecting myself to the ballbusting of priority contracts or solo play
>>565838937How do you set it up for marathon?
>>565847894Never opened a vault, I do want to but Bungie's gay ass cryo weekend only bullshit is fucking me over.. it was better when it was Friday to Sunday, now it's Thursday to Saturday.. retarded
What's up with people just exit camping on outpost??? Fucking bullshit, done with that retarded map.
>>565948906It's the only map that drops shit worthwhile desu
>>565949138Dire Marsh is just as good as Outpost.
>>565949240Where are you finding purple gear consistently on darsh
>>565949448The Lockdown event shits it out and there are tons of key rooms on it. The Anomaly event doesn't give all that much purple but it's still one of the best payout events in the game anyway.
>>565949797Anomaly and lockout would be cool if they spawned more often I've had games where there's no warden, anomaly, or lockdown whereas outpost always has red key room
>>565949948I find it pretty rare that a match has none of the 3 events Dire can spawn but it does happen and it sucks. Not much to say there.Outpost you can get fucked with people exfiling with the red cards for red room (or just not being able to find them cus someone died in a weird place or whatever) but even without red room pinwheel definitely has plenty of purples.But Dire Marsh event farming is still extremely good. Non-sponsored Dire Marsh can be really lucrative in general.
>>565887736>>565887848>>565888926It's called massive aim assist.

>>565943972>he doesn't check his drones for salvage
Late game quests and materials are unplayable solo. The materials are nonexistent in normal places and if you dare to invest your entire ammo and healing stock for some kind of boss, you are still left with 50% chance of getting third partied because they take forever to kill as solo, and then 50% chance of getting exfil camped which has no counter play.
>>565954153I do most of my key rooms solo so skill issue
I did 0 key rooms in S2, will do 0 in S2then switch toGTA6, MW4 and Wolverine
Why loot the map, let someone else waste ammo and healing items to sweep it. Then take his weapons, shield, backpack.>he loots for 5 minutes>you take it in 20 secondsEven better on extract, he presses the exit button for you. You take his items and exit instead of him.
Will look for keyfags on Perimeter and Marsh, I expect them to use at least a blue shield. Will stomp them effortlessly.
is it worth trying this game with a controller on pc? ive never used a controller to play fps but ive seen many people say it plays very good on controller
>>565957713>ive never used a controller to play fpsIt may be uncomfortable. Play a single player FPS first, then try it. Whiteness will be lost, hands will be tainted, and you might have a good time on Marathon.
When it comes to Marathon, and Call of duty, controller is for dudebros.99% of MnK are trannies and suck cocks
>>565957713There's a huge autoaim difference.

You don't want Tyrone to snipe you from a mile away, when you kill Jamal.My strat with Assassin, is to go to the closest activated one, throw equipment away from myself, so the guy who called it, thinks I'm over there. Then hit him. For Recon, I'll shoot first, then throw the drone, to make him look at the glowing drone. I have too many examples.

I know Bungie wants to go after Marathon leakers, but now would truly be a good reason to have them around. It would definitively prove that there is shit coming in the future besides just one variant of an existing map.
I don’t know why I come here anymore. I was on the wrong side of an exfil camp and I turned my computer off and leaned back and then I heard the wind outside and I felt better. And then I come here to check on you guys and it’s porn addicts and Bungieposting..
>>565972945>Marathon leakersgreen Thief, yellow Recon, pink Destroyer coming . there's nothing else to leak
>>565972945LOL. They could leak it themselves. But Sony PR team is too busy trying to pretend the game is fine and it's all chud nonsense for the investor report.
>>565976336Maybe we'll get Daytime Outpost and Night Perimeter in S3...
>>565976969There will be no S3, because everyone will go to GTA/MW4/Wolverine
>>565977052I think Season 3 is more or still less happening, whether we get anything beyond that, I don't think so. Like you said they're going to be dealing with GTA6/MW4/Mahvel, and Season 3 ends in November. Who would play Marathon when you could play possibly either of the biggest releases of the year?
Everyone is buying this in September, not even F2P will help Marathon get a boost.It's all about Wolverine/GTA and MW4 this fall.And i love Marathon.
>>565978365Spider-Man 2 flopped and this slop will too
>>565978365After Spiderman 2, I'm not so sure.
>>565978364>I think Season 3 is more or still less happeningI'm not saying they won't release, I'm saying they can't release enough.It has to be a new big map, 2 new sexualized shells, 3 new guns, vehicles(I'm not running across the map on foot), and a combat record(KD ration, extract rate, damage dealt).I will not have time to play Marathon, if doesn't get this much stuff. Shells have to be sexy.
>>565978478cope
>>565978478Spider Man 2 didn't really flop. Reportedly it sold 16 million copies by Nov 2025 on PS5 alone, granted they had insanely high production costs but its bound to have passed the break even point before the PC port came out. Wolverine probably won't sell that much, but it'll still break even because of Insomniac's reputation.
>>565935586I already log in every day because I want to play the game
>>565978954And all of the DLC was cancelled and it's a ps plus game. Wow!
I'm always logged on because I don't rutn off Ps5 ever
>>565978970Right. It broke even, but it's expenses were so insane they pulled back on planned DLC. But I don't care how much it sold. The game was fucking ass, was worse than 1, and I don't think they learned the right lessons.
>>565979198>i go in win an open gape in my runsGood girl
>>565979285Sold more than Expedition 33, Arc raiders and Assassins creed. How much did Marathon sell again?Zing!
>>565979804And they were too retarded with their budget so they ended up barely making any money, if any. Copies sold doesn't matter when you can't manage money.
September: Wolverine over 10 million players, Marathon under 5K
okay but who cares
>>565980019Us idiots that are still getting raped in Marathon might not stick around when the queue times get worse and worse.
>>565972945Supposedly another deck of the Marathon, but you might need to go through Cryo to gain access to it, so...
>>565980149okay cool, feel free
No matter how much you like this game, they're not adding a huge map by Sept. They're not adding multiple sex shells, and a combat record with stats.No one will play, because of a new shooter, new hub shooter, and the action slasher game.
cool story schizo
I told you the game will live through summer, with PS Plus. Nothing can help it after summer
>faggots on reddit saying queue times are faster in solo>could be less players per mapWill uninstall game and never look at /mg/, if they reduce the number of players in solo. I'm not doing that "slower pace" shit. Fuck you
biolens sneed
Wish you could read contract in the loading screen
>>565980549I believe there will be a third map in season 3. Dire Marsh but bigger and with less cover
>>565982949It should not be that. It should be completely new, no exceptions. The moon crater, or the beach, anything. Expanding a part of another map is boring, I know there's things on the horizon. But it's boring.
>defeat UESC ultra mech to take over a vehicle>or walk like bumsNeeds a very big map, like Verdansk
>>565984058There's such a vibe from that cinematic that the can just never be, being a pvp deathbox with a timer in a small enclosed space. If they ever got to the point of adding a campaign/pve mode, that's the sort of thing I hope it's like, more like STALKER than Halo.
shoutouts to the team members that basically carried me to and from a purple key room. do i remember their names? no. but they were great.
found a great single player/pve game for fans of that genre
>>565984058Not possible with the tiger engine
>>565984383>There's such a vibe from that cinematic thatIt's shot like a Sony movie game, of course people loved it. The camera work is straight outta Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog(I know the cinematic is not made by game developers).It's just funny to me, after I've seen so much complaints about cenematic games, my fellow Marathon lovers want atmospheric, immersive scenes to walk through.
>>565985416>Not possible with the tiger engineHow do you know. You've only seen it on gen 8(eight), Marathon is gen nine. PS5 and Xbox series, even Spider man 2 was a generational leap. >50% faster movement through bigger map>more objects on screen and less pop in>muh SSD Remember, Sony games are the only ones with a generational leap, for the sole exception of Senua's Saga 2(Microsoft). Bethesda's Starfield doesn't work without loading screens.
>>565985901Buddy, I said I liked the vibe of lonely treks and searching dead husks of destroyed cities/facilities. But sure, that's "watching the Last of Us"
>>565986435>lonely treks and searching dead husks of destroyed cities/facilitiesYea, like travelling to Seattle and exploring it with 10/10 music and visuals
>>565986818Or, I dunno, the thing I mentioned in my post, STALKER. An actual game. But go off, queen, please tell us more about the Sony movie games.
>infill into outpost with 15 claymores>place them behind the doors at pinwheel>kill 2 players outright, wound several others.Nice.
>>565987306>15 claymores for 2 killsShit return on investment desu desu desu
>>565986338Because Marathon maps aren't even bigger than Destiny 2 lost sectors on the Xbox One.
>>565987564Hey, I practically never use them. They were left rotting in my vault, taking up valuable space, and I needed to complete a contract.
>>565987568>Destiny 2 lost sectorsI wouldn't know about that, it was a shit game compared to one, I dropped it. D1's crucible was better.
Are destiny dads based and played one, or trans, and didn't play till the sequel on PC?
are english hard?
>>565988593I'm hard for Vandal and her movement, and Thief with her expensive qt azn spy pussy
>>565953609I literally always do. Doesn't help.
>>565980182Reminds me of that "leaker" who said that we'd need go through Dire Marsh to access Cryo.
Rather vexingly, I have to wait another day and a half before being allowed to immediately die in cryro and lose everything (that I just gained, basically).
"Bro, please" he said, before he died
Why are trannies so universally unpleasant to interact with? The official feedback server is a mess.
Dumped a thick, sticky load on Thiefs toes. She took 100K for that.
Why can't I stop thinking about trannies? Man obsessed with trannies keeps asking himself
>>565991180because trannies need to get buttfucked, and then spooned by me, after playing Marathon 2026. Otherwise they get sad.
>>565988168Basically lost sectors are like mini cave/dungeons areas in any other game, while the actual “Dungeon” activities are mini raids which can be completed solo or with 2 other people. And some of them towards the later part of D2 truly feel as large as Perimeter.
What is going on in outpost?Feels like there are less teams, am only encountering 1/2 teams now every match.
Trans rights? You mean, Human Rights?
>>565991995we're coming to june. How hard is bungie going to flail that shit here?
>>565992474pride month is also for the LGB's but they don't deserve rights only T's
>>565932398It is better to pay streamers to play your game than not, however you are correct. They are a supplement for marketing and a playerbase. Not more than that. Bungie tailor making the game for streamers as their only priority is hilariously out of sync with the reality of the gaming landscape in 2026.
I really don't care what Bungie has to do to ensure this game survives and thrives.Add PvE. don't care.Raise TTK. don't care.Add safe pocket. don't care.Shower us with salvage. dont care.Add romance options. dont care.Make a restricted f2p map. dont caredo feee weekend every weekend. dont care.mix and match shell abilities. dont care.add a city builder mode. don't careinvulnerablity exfil. dont care.[any other good or bad suggestion I've read on the general that will bring in and retain players] dont care.I'll adapt.
yeah copying reddit posts to 4chan means you probably need to do literally anything else with your life than what you're actually doing
Reddits are casuals
trannies will save this game
Game doesn't need saving. From day one it was obvious, that using sound and sucker punching someone is meta. Not a chance in hell this would have a "high" playercount.

One thing about Marathon is you need a high level Gaming IQ to even begin to comprehend it
>>565998430unironically true, that's why it filters pajeets and other browns. marathon is a game for White people, and they can't stand that.
>>565998430>you need a high level Gaming IQ to even begin to comprehend itNot really, you can play it like Call of Duty, all you do is listen and shoot.

What sense do you play on, fellow whites
>>566001642Of course. First there'll be layoffs and a switch to f2p. Plenty more fun before shutdown.
>>566002467Very high sense, every fucking game I have to jack it up there. In my prime I use to be a mouse ball flicker. I could send it rolling and reactionary slam a mouse down on exactly the right spot to pop someone's dome off. I settle these days for high sense and learning up flow through combat like water, Spike Speigel style. Sometimes my friends think I'm crazy when they pick up playing on my settings and suck at it, but they are too slow and can't regulate their aim.
>>566002858>layoffsNah, the studio doesn't depend on Marathon, it exists for Sony's console. Bungie is making a new AAA game for the next PlayStation. Bungie is effectively immortal, Marathon's gains, or losses don't matter. If(or when) Bungie's next game flops, that's when they'll start getting cut.
>>566003152>In my prime I use to be a mouse ball flickerVery nice, as a person smart enough to regulate aim, could you answer another question. You do understand, that whoever believes Bungie can be gutted, is retarded, yes?That studio will keep existing until it produces more for the console, the console is the reason that Bungie continues to exist. What do you think?
How will /v/iggers react, when nothing happens to Bungie?Ku ku ku.

>>566004759These clowns barely managed to get out half a game for Marathon and you think sony is gonna let them try developing multiple at once?
>>566003501>the console is the reason that Bungie continues to exist. What do you think?Gee I hope so. They know how to craft a very addictive game loop, I commend them for still having that touch with marathon. That being said, they very unfortunately made a game that is completely skill based and sold it to a bunch of people that don't want to admit that they're shit so they turn away from reality. That's one reason why people scrub out, but not the only one; you don't get this kinda critical failure from just one problem. Another is because the game is bare fucking featured, like holy shit they launched with a huge potato chip bag that looks yummy as hell but it's only a third full. Other non skill adverse players are just getting sick of the same shit and Bungo is proving they're not quick on the uptake to flesh it out. For christ's sake, they don't even have a firing range. How can people hone their skills without one? They're just going to take that rare piece of gear, not know how it works, and immediately donate it to someone else, possibly even a freekit. Next thing you know they quit. Don't believe me? Myelin has been doing that all evening, burning through golds learning the hard lesson that gear disparity doesn't equal a guaranteed win. So you bust your ass for the good shit then you don't even get to hold onto it long enough to get a grip on its strengths. It is a raw fucking deal. Nothing being safe makes this simultaneously the best and most terrifying game to play. The only ones sticking around are smart enough to know there's something interesting here, but the games choking itself out so it might be stupid to expect it to drastically improve. They have the potential, but do they have the talent to pull it off? Time will tell. That's what I think.
>>566005157>sony is gonna let them try developing multiple at once?This not the same PlayStation, it's not ran by an American anymore. Oldschool jap grandpa is calling the shots, and he can make them do anything.>>566005176>a huge potato chip bag that looks yummy as hell but it's only a third full.Forty bucks, instead of Sony's favorite seventy. I was not surprised it launched with no maps. I was surprised that season two has no maps.>>566005176>The only ones sticking around are smart enough to know there's something interesting hereI'm sticking around because I know I can spam mid gear, 3K loadouts and take out high tier kits, one on one, that is.A single player mode, like the cinematic, would be interesting, but I wouldn't fucking play it. I have play PvP so much, that I fall asleep before playing new games. Bought everything, still playing fucking Marathon exfils.>They have the potential, but do they have the talent to pull it off?They have PlayStation willing to burn some money on it, just brute force content development. Because Bungie's logo is so big, as big as Naughty Dog and Insomniac, it's foolish not to try to make them go viral in a good way. Sony will try, they will waste money one more time, it's obvious. As for Marathon, Sony will dump some more money into it, to produce content for this year. Until they start focusing on selling console+GTA, console+Wolverine, and console + MW4.Yes, MW4 is a Microsoft product, hovewer, people will still buy a Sony console for it. They will, because it will be packaged with Wolverine or GTA.And the point of selling a console is, now there's PlayStation store in that buyer's home.
Microsoft can suddenly stop playing nice, and temporarily hold onto Bethesda/Activision games.Sony has to keep Bungie floating, for now. What does PlayStation have besides Bungie? Three more big brand, popular logo studios. Not enough, for now.

how to fix grenade spam: make them generate heat equal to a melee attack when thrown
How do you play Destroyer? Everyone says he is overpowered, but when I play as him, he sucks.
>>566033761play him like you would a Titan in Destiny.use your super sprint when in open areas.save ultimate for crowds on bots/high level commandoes, or to surprise an enemy team.if someone shoots you, shield up immediately and thrust away
>every western live service game is made by schizo devs that assume every player has 3-4 friends to play with 24/7 and builds their entire experience around that>the chinese just make single player gachas and farm everyone

>>566033761Destroyer wants to play in mid/close range, and pairs best with assault rifles, machine guns, SMGs, and shotguns. Use your barricade liberally, it has the fastest recovery time of any ability. You can peak corners with it, enter rooms safely, protect yourself out in the open, reposition, stall while your health/shield refills. Thrusters are good for chasing a wounded target, or retreating/moving into cover without having to look away. It can also disorient people in a close range fight. Search and Destroy is best saved for PvE, just because the UESC can have a ton of health and the splash damage helps in the way that they group together. It still does damage against players, but I find that the delay on the rockets can end with you trading rather than winning the fight.
>>566037315>>566037532Overrun is the highest skill weapon. High skill players love it.

>>566037970I don't use shotguns, I always miss them.
my arc raiders squad is playing marathon with me tonight. :) is this the comeback? are we back?
>>566038642I sure do hope so.
>>566033761I know this is going to sound very fruity but it's almost like "movement tech" bounce of Destiny 2 with skating and how your guy interacts with the terrain physically off of stuff like the sprint, the air dodge etc, it's almost unnatural erratic movement that people don't really anticipate. Not saying you need a big brain genius or that it isn't held in check by the Heat system, but you can sorta move around in a way that most people don't expect because everybody is anticipating the engagements in terms of movement to play out fairly similar and straight forward. It's kind of similar with Vandal's slide where you can basically slip past somebody a hair in certain environments buying a fraction of time to get in extra shots. Destroyer I feel like can be a bit nicer because that sprint interacts more universally with stuff. I will say though it feels 10x better when you have upgrades for heat usage, and jump stuff and it's a little annoying Bungie put those things spread out and kind of inconsistent for when you get them physically on the upgrade trees
Has anyone else found a trinket item?
SOMEBODY SAVE MARATHON PLEASE!!!
>>566007972Bungie name sake means jack fucking shit in current year xister. It's precisely why all these zoomie fuckers are having a meltdown with Marathon because the only Bungie games they really got into and played was Destiny, completely missing out on Halo era and just not "getting" it. We already have seen the failure of this bruteforcing "from the makers of Halo and Destiny" and it just not translating to a ton. Time flies. I'll call it right now they'll make a $40 dlc that adds 2 maps and maybe 2 characters and expect people to spread cheeks for that, we already had nods early on in the language used that there would be paid DLC . It's going to just further deepen them into a hole or worse they'll do what they did with Destiny of trying to sell basic bitch QOL stuff as expansion driving content and it's stuff that should've been in the game day 1. I'm not saying pigmen don't exist but I think there is a tangible lower tolerance for things being as anemic and shit as they can be.
>>566041207A fucking PvE queue. Even better if its a duo/trio PvE queue.
>>566041465This. It’s truly that fucking simple. Who cares if the PvE is barebones right now, it will at least sell people on the universe that Bungie clearly put a lot of effort into fleshing out. The extraction shooter angle is not only too niche but it is single handedly the real reason no one wants to pick up the game.
>>566030625No.It's going to be kino.
>>566042087I don't understand how Activision of all companies could take a risk with making DMZ for fucking free, there's expansive enough map space to pretty much pve a good deal, transition through zones and quest areas, have decent pvp action, and it wasn't this big ball buster clusterfuck on your toes at a hot spot BR landing zone. I hounded Bungie in the surveys for the alpha tests I was in, the maps were too fucking small for the action that was possible and there was just not enough a consistent presence of pve ai shit until more or less everybody is dead or left, and it's just some of the residual areas that get swarmed with reinforcements that almost stack, see Complex on Dire Marsh stuffed with purple and blue guys by the usual last exfil. I think if more people did quests they'd probably riot when they learned how much of a wave fight the final MIDA quest is and it actually feels challenging for how robots get stuffed in a tighter space. I imagine the back story on this game will be interesting and it'll show a lot corners Bungie cut.
i tried out the twin tap today for the first time. something off about the recoil, i like the BR better.
>>566030625not with me camping the perimeter exfils and helping churn a dozen players a day
>>566042713> I imagine the back story on this game will be interesting and it'll show a lot corners Bungie cutYup, i cannot wait for that, although i think it will be quite predicatable. Mismanagement, toxic positivity, "vision", Sony's hands-off approach.
>>566033483it is weird that a throw doesn't generate heat when a swipe does now that i think about it
