Night Marsh is unironically the comfiest map so far. It's the perfect balancing act between having a lot of high-end stuff to do, but it also provides your average scav a ton of opportunities that involve simply just doing PvE. It's wild they withheld this one for so long, as the intensely high-stakes nature of Outpost and Cryo really shouldn't set the bar for all content in the game.
first 2 games I've been kicked out of now, fucking shit wasting my time
>get another disconnect>see if there's any new r34 of vandal or recon>hyper fat vandal and semi-hyper fat recon
>>569189518same, got in a rook run, an accidental solo and a trio with disconnect.
Nice numbers, sisters.
>>569189670Kek What A Bungie
So server issues are still not over?
I'm gonna replay Deus Ex Human Revolution.
>>569190051>no new recon futaYAAAWWWNNN
>>569190354why not the original?
>>569189719Okay wow. So I just now in the very next match was using my thief drone and came across another group of 3 blatantly teaming. This was later in the match at least so not entirely impossible they were two randoms who just happened to decide to work together. But idk... I think k its suspicious as hell
>>569190631
>do a free weekend when your main PvE mode isn't even outdumbest studio ever
>>5691901833rd game I've been kicked out, have not finished 1 run yet
>>569189654Don't, it's not funny, okay? stop it
>>569190639Vibes
Welp, Marathon lived to see season 2, so I've made good on my promise and bought the Deluxe version. I'm glad that I didn't buy it earlier, since the previous battle pass cosmetics suck compared to this one's.
>>569190818it's pride month tho, you're allowed to be gay
>>569190730Dude, turn off your trio fill and put it on solo. You're jumping into trios as a solo.
>>569190730i'm pretty sure you queued into trios while turning off crew fill mate
>>569190838they should just leave the current version in and forego the whole experiment phase being limited to a week, maybe make it two weeks at most
I like this game and I want to play it
What are the least demanding graphical options?
>>569190051>>569190631>having a porn addiction that only ever relieves the stress it causesngmi
>>569191169i would love to play it but server shuts down 5 minutes in every time
>>569190838Dumbass, PvE will kill this game.I'm so, goddamn tired of fucking PvE carebears demanding shit in PVP GAMES. There are thousands of PvE games to play - go play them little bro. Extraction Shooters will always be niche with a small, but reliable amount of players (see Tarkov)Adding PvE or, hell, adding SBMM would neuter this game in its entirety.
>>569191005but thats exactly why (You) should play the original, anon
>>569191214the game uses 100% cpu and no gpu so don't expect anything to make a difference. small indie studio pls understand
>>569191287marathon is a pve series lil zoom zoom, and the unfortunate reality is ignoring the game's roots will kill this game and ultimately bungie, hence why they're rushing to staple pve to it.marathon will eventually be pve-focused whether you like it or not, because it's what going to keep the lights on at bungie.
>>569191790Bungie games have always been about PvP, don't you remember Halo or is your boomer addled brain failing?
how are the cpu performance improvements they mentioned?
Alright fellas give me the rundown on shells. Who’s op?
>>569192161Hard to tell atm because everythings been reset and everything has had balanced changes. On top of that we now have the cradle that has all the stat boosting in it.
>>569192161Nobody knows yet. Too early to tell.
>>569191225It's not even a porn addiction if you limit it to a bi-weekly thing
>>569192161As usual, Destroyer will continue to stay strong in this season, but Sentinel kind of shakes things up a bit in terms of the whole push-pull dynamic so likely Sentinel will be going into many teams that play the smaller and CQC oriented maps.
>>569192092Halo CE didn’t even have online multiplayer. Halo is meant to be a couch co-op experience, which is why Forge was so popular during the 360 days, brocolifag
kek I didn't think the free week was going to help much anyways but if they don't have the servers fixed tonight it's going to be completely ogre
>>569192092>Bungie games have always been about PvPthe existence of pvp =/= marathon, halo, and destiny were pvp focused. claiming otherwise is actual, unironic cope.halo pvp was also fun because it started as couch co-op splitscreen bullshit, and later on was just low-stakes fun chaos. doesn't apply here.
What is an Anomalous Reverb? I need to kill three for Traxus. They're not the zombie screebs shown in the trailer, they're called something else.
Incase you missed it, chem grenades look different now.
I have a feeling the Recharge tree/bar is going to be what good players will aim for in the Cradle.The amount of recharge you get at max is going to be nuts for more aggressive shells.
>>569192106i got a pretty big fps boost, but ive only tried perimeter so fart. 7700k user
>ONGOING ISSUE:>We're continuing to investigate the Anteater, Monkey, and Weasel errors. We're also going to be sending three Deluxe Sponsored Kits to everyone who's logged in in during the affected times. These will be distributed once things are stable.>Thanks for hanging with us, and we'll share more information as soon as we can.https://x.com/MarathonDevTeam/status/2061913169375920220
They got a bit lazy with the Shadow Index skin for Sentinel. I see no intestine looking attachments, and the visor pattern is the same.
>>569193352really? nice. was kinda annoying how badly some parts of the game ran
His name is Rampart, btw.
>>569193371>We're also going to be sending three Deluxe Sponsored Kits to everyone who's logged in in during the affected times. These will be distributed once things are stable.Will they actually follow through on this or will this be another bf6 situation
>>569191098>>569191128Oh shit I'm retarded. Didn't even realize you can do that now. Fuck yeah.
>>569193392the intestine bits are for the cryo skins. the shadow index skins are ALL recolors.
>>569191287>PvE will kill this gameThe game with just PVP is on it's fucking deathbed brother they are pumping anything into the veins in hope of a miracle.
>>569193392You’re thinking of the cryo skins, not shadow index
>>569193804>>569193912Right, I was thinking of Cryo Shift. Sentinel doesn't have one. Lmao.
>>569189670-ACK!
>>569194014Bungled again!
>>569193974Probably get added when cryo opens again, the other skins weren’t there either until that update dropped
>Beginner on 5th newbie perimiter>Guy who is invisible opens door, loots, messes with gear, all while i'm straight looking at him>Creep up behind him on destroyer>"WHAT ARE YOU DOIN SNOOPIN AROUND HERE??">He freaks out pops smoke, grenades, firing all around the room screaming in french>I'm already gone out the other way booking it to station for next part of contract>Come back later after doing contract just to look >Find a vandal hiding in a vent like a dead by daylight play in closet>Kill them>Why were they hiding>Pop thing that pulses building>Another guy hiding>its that assasin was in the other fucking vent in the same building>kill him and leaveSo were they trying to rat each other? or just so spooked about each other they were both trying to hear for zero movement?I find this 'forensics' report where you try to figure out what other players were up to very interesting compared to usual team deathmatch crucible style stuff.
Cool.
>>569193608Rapemart.
>>569194191>no footagewhy?
my waifu has a booty
>extract for the 1st time in S2>end of round PoV is another runner who was basically 10m away from me gulp
>>569194563my very first extraction there was a guy behind the corner with a shotgun in the footage about to round on me.
Contender.
>>569194490i hate how obvious it is they focus on assassin and the female frames.
Did they unfuck the servers yet?
>>569195576Because, you fags are gonna keep asking this no. They haven't fixed their fucking shit yet, I've had maybe two full runs and most of em are monkey and anteater tier shit. At this rate they better tack another fucking week to this mode because they sure as shit will need the buffer
>>569195025I love when the game does that; it gives you a small headrush knowing someone was stalking you right until you left.
First exfil of the season. Night Marsh is spooky, especially as a raw Rook.
Exfilled like 5 times out of 10 tries, teammates freeze and stand in place, while disconnected. Their shell doesn't fall or dissappear, just stands there.
>>569195791Hey I did my tour answering that earlier after a dozen fucked runs, decided to do some exercise and go for a run in hopes they maybe can get this shit working in reasonable timeframe.
>>569195886Decent loot.
No, no, no! God damn it! *smashes fists on desk* This was supposed to go smoothly! This was supposed to save the game!
>>569195886PVE-Lite night marsh is kinda comfy sans the goofy fucking suicide bombers and the uesc fucking rushing you down along with the jumpscares
>>569196170>the goofy fucking suicide bombersIs this all that the anomaly things are? Or are there multiple types of runner zombies?
how come there are no cyac priority contracts?
>Spend blue key in solo for a bit of a boost>Lobby fucking dies midrunAyyyyy lmao
>>569196279I think there are multiple. A Traxus quest wants me to kill three Anomalous Reverbs, and the normal zombies are called Anomalous Husks.
>>569196279that's all they are
>>569194191They're playing it like how you play other extraction shooters outside of Arc Raiders Anon.Its why this game even turns off most other extraction players.This game plays like a fucking Fornite clone than a Tarkov clone.
>>569192161>Who’s op?Void, blinds your squad, one of you teammates switches to the girly pink X-ray goggles, by that time Void is behind all of you, dumping grenades
>>569196661marathon is pretty distinct from both of those but it's hell of a lot closer to arc than it is fortnite. t. fortnite fag and former arc fag
>>569196661>This game plays like a fucking Fornite clonehave you ever even played fortnite?
Got my first CD reduc (Head Start), now for my second one (Loot Siphon)
Disconnecting ass, transexual ass
>>569196279>>569196481Where do you find them? I've done a few runs in Night Marsh and haven't seen anything.
UNOUFAWISED WUNNAH HAZ ENTUHD THE AWEAH
>*Violent coughing*
>>569197374I haven't found one yet.
Night Marsh is Rook territory, white boi.
I'm really liking night marsh sponsored, if this is a glimpse to what Christopher Barret wanted then fuck
>>569198559There are no Rooks on Night Marsh because the lobbies crash before they can fill.
I've had enough. I'm buys tomorrow so I'll try again on Thursday.
>>569194490>can actually play Recon and feel cute/like people wanna grope me and feel me upBest thing to happen for season 2
>start of free week>start of new season>just had maintenance>somehow the servers are shitting themselvesBravo bungie.
>>569199085>servers get slammed at beginning of new season with a free weekanon is this your first online videogame?
>>569198239Don't check top-selling games anon. It might cause a clitty leak.
>he found a Biolens Seed in a random shipping container? Activate code:anteater
runners..... I don't feel so good..............
Did anyone elses Marathon game open by itself today? I didn't click it and all of a sudden noticed it had opened by itself
ES LÄDT....ICH WILL NICHT, DASS ES LÄDT...!WENN ES LÄDT MUSS ICH IMMER SO LANGE WARTEN!!!
>>569194490>>569198941Unfortunately, unless you find yourself with opponents who dont shoot on site and are willing to be live-and-let-live types, ERP, RP, and in-team interaction and such are out of the question. Which is a shame, because game has a lot of that RP potential, and people squander it all because "muh hardcore aggressive game" "muh Arachne" "muh [insert excuse]".
Beginner babby here. Now i have a bunch of missions to like use volt guns or pvp, both of which it seems i can't free kit but with the errors making me losing what little i have should i just leave it till the errors are fixed?
>>569200127This shit happened to me before even S2 launched.
>>5692012561. use freekit2. level NuCal3. leave until errors are fixed
I exfilled with 2 self revives. Is that good?
>>569201256he >>569201478 means never come back btw
New player here. Played few matches with a friend but quitting for today thanks to the server problems. I checked out the shop, and the skins for the shells look bad. Where are the gooner skins at?
>>56919953624k people are online the servers aren’t “being slammed” you fucking retard
servers seem better now
>>569202394just completed one run but same problem as before in the next, booted after 5 mins
>>569202394No they aren't.
>defaults to trios every runkys
/vpol/ is DDoSing the servers, in case you guys didn't realize what is going on.
>>569203054>>569203057yeah nvm, had two good runs but got kicked out of my last one.
>>569202394In trios they are more or less fine albeit sluggish. Solo is straight up unplayable.
just lost a fucking sniper rifle to the errorgiving up this shit, well done bungie, your chance to turn the game around and fuck it up with server issues
How can you fucking fumble so hard. Your unique shot at clawing back into relevancy with shiny new additions and edges sanded off, free play and you just vomit out your game in unplayable state due to servers acting like they ate bad curry last night. In-fucking-credible.
can you guys queue as rook? for me it says crew error. all other shells work.
>game unplayable for their free push at the state of play HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA this game is cursed :(
>>569203057It really bothers me that i had this very issue in S1 at the close end of the season.
this post on /v/ looking very prescient >>>/v/739659496
So this is how Marathon ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
Anyone know if it's any better running perimeter or outpost in terms of getting booted?
>>569203934lmao a fucking false flag attackwhat did Bungie expect?
>>569199979We've been through this song and dance before. Since it's based on revenue literally anytime marathon sells 1 singular copy it beats any game that costs less than it, veilguard was number 1 at one point and that game died
>>569204169they weren't prepared!
>>569189265Game less grindy yet? Particularly contracts.
>>569203934I mean it's not hard to setup a ddos attack, a fucking kid could do it really.
Did anyone get all their *early bird VIP codex entries*?Why did I VIP all factions and then only unlock MIDA and Sekiguchi banners?
>>569203934Ok this is a chukleworthy shitpost.
>>569204319Nobody can complete anything
>>569204467i vip'd the top 3 but only got sekiguchi banner which i didn't VIP... also didn't get my level 75 kit
>>569204319They said they revamped upgrade progression and rep gains. Shell stats are also governed by a new system. Quick look at the faction upgrade screens the salvage requirements are less retarded - I haven't seen a single gold salvage required for visible upgrades which means Capstone 6 can be acquired more easily.
>>569204467>only unlock MIDA and SekiguchiI got the same thing. Game's broken.
Which faction to prioritize now?
>We have identified the issue that is currently causing elevated Anteater, Monkey, and Weasel errors in Marathon.

>>569204861Uninstall faction
>>569204980
>>569204980They should extend the f2p period by a week as recompense.
>>569204980>down for the next 2 hoursHoly grim the game won't even break 50k. How did they fuck up the free weekend?
Leaders changeBorders shiftMountains sink into the seasOceans dry upBut one thing will never change: Bungie's rocky launches
>>569204980>taking servers offlineThat's crazy what a fuckup
Gojo Satoru... is there anything you don't have?!
>>569205154Did Marathon have a rough launch? I don't remember. Server slam was stable at least.
>>569205042https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsX9WUdYnU
*slaps my big fat worm belly*GIVE ME FREE SKINS AS COMPENSATION BUNGO
>>569204980KEKARONI
>>569205347They are giving three purple rarity kits for you to lose to Rooks.
>player count dropped instead of rise after the State of Play reminding everyone the games literally free
>>569204467>>569204818I got the same thing too.
>>569205295They delayed the release, remember?
>>569205436>Servers are offlineYou're slacking in your shitposting, Escharummy
>MaintAny Vandal NSFW while we wait
>>569205607>End of service already
>>569205687Can you post the webm of the super sped up cutscenes he's in? His mo-cap looks really funny when it's like 5x speed.
>>569205295On launch you coudlnt log in for some time, but wasn't as bad as this.
If anyone needs some direction for the cradle, try to at least get the level 3 heat capacity so you can get the upgrade that makes your heat cool down quicker. It will make your life 10x more bearable.
>>569205764BROKENRAPEDBY ME
Bungie has slighted me for the last time.They owe me sex and I demand it be with one of their bitchy passive-aggressive HR foids.
>>569205687>>569205764Also, do you have the image of him with badly shopped giant cheeks? (The ones in the face).It looks like he's pouting in there, I thought it was funny.
>>569205887Kino
>>569205887Seriously he moves like a muppet when sped up lmao.
>maintenance for 2 hoursBlyat I was in the middle of
>>569205871I went for agility first
I don't remember this from S1, but Traxus and Mida have some limited missions and are threatening me against doing each other's missions. Could there be some permanent seasonal paths?
>>569206471You should side with Traxus because Mida are spiritually brown.
OPEN THE SERVERS, SPONSORED NIGHT MARSH WAS FUN, have some soft porn
>>569206471That wasn't in S1 at all, all of the missions were pretty self-contained IIRC and the only time someone told you to fuck off was with Orion warning you to not work with MIDA.
>>569205871I want to first grab enough melee damage to one-shot recruits with heavy attack.
>>569206471Mommy Vulcan has my support. I love my evil corporate overlord mom.
Is it possible to get the platinum in one week?
>>569206753no
>>569206601I find mida cringe as fuck
traxus has the most useless store and upgrade tree so I have to support mida, vulcan would understand this spiritually corporate decision
*sigh* back to Deadlock, I guess
>>569206681vulcan looks like she's give insane blowjobs
>Bungies FINAL hope and chance to try to save themselves ends up failing because after over a decade of managing always online games they still don't know how to manage servers
>>569206892Then I don't even bother.
>>569207323She's not gonna half-ass it, that's for sure.
>>569206681Agree. The Mida guy looks gay
