name a more raped general I'll wait
I was beginning to worry about you guys, was checking in on you after the free week and thought you had just given up the ghost
>>570789898does gw2g count they were exiled for years
Where do I get blue shields bro I just want to feel like I have a chance
>>570789898/codg/ and /fng//fng/ more-so
>>570790590From loot in non-shit areas and your enemies bro..
day 14 of asking why they didn't just replace the grey free kits with green ones from day 1 if they knew they were gonna ruin the economy
>>570791002because the game will be lucky to see october
>sub 15k 24h peakThey’ll release DLSS5 or the game dies
>>570791319yeah and shit like this is exactly why
>>570791402no one gives a shit about smearing vaseline over a turd
>>570791402what's that going to add in a game with mostly flat textures
>>570787749more updates announced yet?
>>570793813they're still trying to save the sinking ship (well, the other sinking ship) and I really doubt they'll do any follow up after they had the big public end thing
Dead
>>570790590Blue shields aren't much of a step up over green. If you catch some one unaware you're still at a massive advantage. It's not like purple where they have double your shields and are using heals that have twice the healing speed and out put of your shit. Most of these players have actual thought put into their itemization, they are just slapping blue/purple shit and loading in. You can do some ridiculous shit right now with green kits, especially if you build for it, but you just have to play a bit smarter regardless.
I wonder how fucked development was when Barrett was fired. It's clear at this point that only 4 maps were released because that's all they could cobble together, ditto for story.
>>570790590outpost rook runs, go to pin wheel and learn all 3 final exfils on outpostit is the fastest way to get them as well as purple salvage (some of them will turn into barters for purple shields later in the season so it's a good farming spot)do not engage and hide as much as possible
>>570801210There’s an interview from like a year before release where they nervously laugh about how they basically have not worked on the story at all at that point
I had somewhat high hopes for season 2 but this season is bricked. I remember in season 1 i rarely ran into purple shields for the first half. First game on i run into purple shit. The loot distribution in this game is warped and doesn't work. PvE night marsh was broken, pinwheel is busted. Why go anywhere else. PvE needs its own map where you can only get blue shit. >>570787749its all on sale, is it any good or is it a second job?
after im done with work i will buy the season 2 pass, i need that assassin *tips fedora* CRAWLING IN MY SKINNNNN ahh skin
>>570791002Whoever’s making decisions is too stupid or wholly out of touch to understand that loading in with green kits was just more fun for everyone than the grey kits. Who the fuck enjoys taking a couple shots from a UESC and having to slowly use 4 of your 6 depleted patch kits , it feels too shitty.Amazing how they didn’t opt for a sponsored kit mode at the start of s2 either.
>create ranked kits Oh cool they actually liste->you can just queue with whatever so long as you have a tagSo close. Maybe next season they'll get it right.
>>570802620They nerfed the purple shield barter into the ground. One a day for 2 replicators, so now the only people allowed to have an ok stock of purple shields are the higher end players that can routinely pull them off other players
>>570788286>as intended, praise Ziegler
>>570803884All the barters have reduced stock this season. I think the change was made to discourage hoarding and use the shit you barter for, but at the same time it can be annoying for stuff you need in bulk like rarer meds.
Shields should only give the passive traits like temporary invis when broken. Everyone should have the same HP no matter what. This shit is a nobrainer.
>2 weeks since s2 launch>default menu select issue still not fixedwhat the fuck are the 800 employees doing at bungie?
>>570809663Knitting classes, jamming, etc.
>>570809663All hands on deck for obnoxious Thief skins
>>570810273To be fair, that's what will keep Bungie afloat
Has anyone actually successfully used the thief drone steal? I'm almost never in a position safe enough to use it, and don't really get how it works. I just shoot a rope into them and then do I have to bring the drone back?
This game is dogshit, why are you guys still here?
>>570812837>filtered
>>570812837uh oh chuddies, we were wrong, time to have a meltyy...
>>570810365nice
>>570812837but i like the game. what's dogshit about it?
>>570802849Having never tried D2, I gave it a go the other day but I've just been spoiled by MarathonD2's artstyle looks crummy and dated, the story tidbits it gave me so far boring and the shooting feels flat and nowhere near as punchyIt's free so you might as well try it out and see if it strikes your fancy, but it didn't at all for me.
>>570812092You can loot the drone if it's close enough to you by simply inputting interact. Usually you want to steal the stuff into the drone and then fly it back to you.
>>570814751Thanks, if the drone is destroyed or battery runs out, will the loot it's carrying just drop?
>>570812092Stole a guy's full stack of advanced patch and shield charges without him noticing. That was funny, but most people shoot you down before you can take anything.
Not gonna lie, Destiny 2 was better
>>570816534>not gonna lie>liesWhat did he mean by this?
>>570814468>spoiled by Marathonoh marathon is "spoiled" alright.
I logged on and tried to matchmake but can't due to maintenance. I thought they usually brought down the whole game for that.
>>570817482Its time to put the computer videogame down bro
>>570787749Utterly irrelevant. Some people are only checking it out because it's on sale and effectively dead. Destiny 2 just wasn't profitable and way too expensive for many many years to the point support was stepped and eventually ceased. Anyone expecting more updates for it is delusional, especially with layoffs to said Destiny team.And steamcharts have never mattered and gives a completely wrong view of things. You still have people thinking Overwatch will die any day now while waving around steamcharts.
>>570803724>maybe bungie will get it rightbungie gets things right in a twice a day clock kind of way
Best Shell for a new player? Destroyer? Vandal? Thief?
>>570818640Recon
>>570818640assassin to help you reset fights and take advantageous positions. thief to scout the area around you and collect loot faster. vandal to have fun. destroyer if you're with a group. if you're cool you play rook. otherwise you just pick whatever you like the look of most, there isn't really a bad choice. vandal might be the worst shell because all her abilities are built around mobility but she's the most fun to play with your brain off so you can't really go wrong..
>>570818640I think everybody's got a little something that works well for new players. Probably best choice is Assassin because invisibility is so strong, and you can ignore the bots. Vandal is a very flexible character for getting around easily. Worst choice would be Sentinel, he needs some map knowledge to play.
>>570819785>Worst choice would be Sentinel, he needs some map knowledge to play.Yeah. Can't imagine playing Sentinel without knowing which direction would be best for planning ambush or where to castle down appropriately. You place Defender in the wrong spot or place a useless mine and it's already half of the kit gone for zero gains. I also wish new Sentinel newbies would just use their Defender system more, even vs. bots as it helps a lot vs. Grenadiers and Commanders.
Content is here
patch notes are out btw
>>570820868Can you post im walking to work rn
>>570821018>Deleted Vandal coom skins>Deleted Recon's ass further>Deleted fun>Deleted all guns and knives because players keep killing each other and that isn't fun>Deleted all enemies>Deleted loot
>>570806728>signal jam on break, invisible on break, maybe Emp explosion around you to counter melee, tox explosion idk could do some interesting stuff I betGame would probably feel better if everyone just had purple, maybe blue but the ttk feels best with purple. Still super easy to punish an unaware target but enough for the average person to react a bit during a head on fight
they nerfed the cert 5 boxes in NM i thinkthey nerfed the craddlethey also fixed the way it autoselects to perimeter after a run
>MORE cradle xp nerfslmao
>>570821506>ttk feels best with purple.Yeah, because even with the gold shields the EHP is same. The only difference is the fact that it's either one segment for heals or the special effects that make the shield prestige.
I love hallucinating patch notes
>>570821018>added rape>added rape>added rape
>>570821541>release sponsored survival night marsh>should have loot restricted to blue rarity >shits out purples and golds>remove it, continuously nerf loot pools in the normal, actually dangerous version of night marshYeah upper complex is neat but who really wants to put 3x the effort of an outpost run where the keycards are rng for pinwheel lootThis game’s development is truly a spectacle
https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_update_1_1_0_2
>Added weekly login rewards beneath the "today's sponsors” section in the Armory. NO CONTENT! NO CHANGES! LOGIN WEEKLY, PIGGIES!
>>570821801Yeah that’s why I didn’t even mention it, the two current gold shields I would recategorize into a new shield mod slot, and everyone just has the same level of shields.
>>570822507>D54 stealth buffed with the stock changes.They're seriously going to keep the gun as it is until mid-season? What the hell is going on?
>>570822507>Fixed an issue where some weapon mod tooltips would flash or not show when comparing with another compatible mod.Thank fucking God
>>570822274I really don't get why they're still nerfing shit. The economy is already fucked until the next wipe; no amount of tweaking XP or drop rates is going to change the fact that players who nolifed Survival Marsh are set for the rest of the season. Why not acknowledge their fuckup and buff loot until S3 so casuals can at least feel like they have a chance of catching up? How can Bungie look at the state of the game and conclude "we need to make sure the poor get even poorer"?
>>570824018i think the goal is to capture every newfag in a bubble and let them encounter other blue/green shield peoplemeanwhile golds will be spamming cryo 24/7 and encountering only other golds and purples
>>570820140I hate how little Sentinel's kit meshes with my playstyle because he's easily the coolest looking shell. Unfortunately george droid is way too easy to use
Rooks will this event make us brøthers?
>>570822507>battle pistol not nerfed Actual retardation
>Free kit scav'ing as assassin on narsh>Regularly killing people that start attacking bots so already weakened>Take all their purps and feed to the wormsYou guys are alright, don't go down to narsh after the server come back up.
>>570824323There's very little that can be done when people find ways to get a way to grab some high rarity loot into their vault, so then turning every map into Cryo as a response just feels like overstepping. Changes like these are usually always catch-up either way. Whenever they get fixed, the damage is already done.
>more cradle nerf>uesc t3 box nerfwhew, glad I got Profiteer and lvl 70 cradle done during the first week only because I was on sick leave.
>>570824610>Only reason Triage has as much utility is because it gives people the chance to cheapskate around with their own consumables.>Thus it'll always remain popular in fill due to everyone never spending anything.I've moved away from playing Triage in our premade mostly because i want the bros to spend their own meds too and as cool, as a ranged instant res is that's the largest utility the shell actually brings.
when does the maintenance end?
>>570825909>nerfing 3 cert chests when they were already kind of mediocre and not the 5 certs with static spawns that drop at least 3 purples every time that everyone target farms
They fixed this
>>570818979>vandal might be the worst shell because all her abilities are built around mobilityPositioning is the single most important thing in the FPS genre next to aim.Go back to sponsored survivor and think about what you posted.
>>570826320>Slightly reduced loot quality and increased item pool in Cert containers in Night Marsh.sounds to me like all the boxes got nerfed
>>570826569Which is still comical because 1 cert chests were a joke, on par with like a white trunk in terms of loot quality and 3s were never worth touching when for 2 more certs you could get your epic purps. Bungo should have nerfed 5 cert chests and slightly buffed the other two.
>>570824323The problem with making Cryo a purple/gold containment zone is that it's only up during the weekends and also that newfags don't want to be locked out of Cryo. It's a cool map that gets a lot of hype and it's literally 25% of the game's content, they're going to want to play it; if they were at a disadvantage because of skill that'd be one thing but they're at a disadvantage purely because they didn't grind the broken ezmode enough while it was up. Ideally ranked would serve as the purple/gold containment zone, but the problem with ranked is that it fucking sucks and no one wants to play it.
>>570826320I think the overall idea has to deal with the 5s requiring a bit more than getting lucky with 2 or so bots to loot the 3s, so forcing people to go and dunk on bots a bit more instead. I think reason the 5s are more generous has to deal with them usually being a trade off for exfil bunkers, so you'll have to go elsewhere or wait for reinforcements for another 5.
>>570826791they were still useful for target farming 5 cert chets because lower ones could give backpacks, but yeah
did some rook runs in the morninghad the chance to fuck a whole team in the red key room but i always chicken out cuz even when i was blue shielding with rook last season i was getting my shit pushed inso i just took their scraps
>>570827385>blue shielding with rookhow? is there a capstone for that
>>570827484S1 season end saw the Rook gear floor heightened from green start to blue start. Made some Rooks in Pinwheel extremely aggressive
>>570826809>Started during the free week>Missed the farming>Now I get punished for thatOh cool, it really is Destiny all over again.
So when do we get our Star Wars crossover?
>>570828580Poison franchise. The exact moment we get one know that the game will be abandoned in a few months at best
>>570828910What if it was a Star Trek crossover?
>nerfing prestige roomsbut why? the keys are already rare as fuck
>>570829116>New to Bungie shenanigansThey keep broken shit in so all the content creators can make content then when normies finally find out they pull the rug so only content creators get all the good shit.
>First match after servers come up.>Doing some contracts Solo on N.Marsh>Someone smelts a cube and beelines towards Greenhouse exfil, where i'm cleaning up for some certs.>Brutal ambush, never stood a chance.>Klep his stuff and exfilThat fresh Tau Ceti smell.
What did Sony mean by this
>>570829697too bad this game is dogshit to watch and has zero prominent content creators. 95% of the ones you can find are also absolute faggots
>>570831283Wait, I thought Marathon was doing well on Twitch and Kick?
>another week nothing new on the shopWhite Rabbit Vandall does not exist!
i'm assembling a collection of information about the game to reference in my runs. so far i have two maps, one for t3 marsh lockboxes and one for outpost keys which might be outdated but I mostly need it to learn the reds.do you guys have any map diagrams or other infographics or whatever about this game that isn't on wikis and stuff already?
>>570831172It's crazy how dead all the fighting games besides shit fighter are
>>570832215it's cuz tekken 8 and strive are shit versions of their series (opinion of someone who has been playing fgs since the 90s)
>>570826438Oh that's really nice.
>>570832357yeah but so is duty fighter 6greetings from /fgg/
those sly bastards>carri is back!>log in>no self revives>no urple keys>blunique overrun for fifty (50) commendations
Never trust a Rook
Loaded into Night Marsh solo with good shit by accident. It has literally never defaulted to solo before.
>>570833770>trios dude gets tricked into thinking
holy shit the stocks were broken the whole time. i was getting the unfolded buff without unfolding it and the folded buff for unfolding it. i hate bungie so much now someone told me that and i didn't want to believe them
>>570834487The choice of what corner to sit in while cloaked is too much for me :(
>>570832958lot of retards that don't actually play the game outing themselves on social media calling it a "catch up mechanic"Yeah man the casual struggling to get into the game is gonna jump for joy when they'll get a consolatory blue gun after exfiling enough times to get that many points. Gonna be a real tough choice between that, the most garbage salvage pack someone could think of or half a faction level where your VIP rank up reward in season 2 is a stunning (2) pieces of salvage blue salvage.
>>570832958>>570836476I like how they said they introduced Daily Login Rewards from gacha games but I didnt see anything.
i just want a colorful skin for destroyer please.
Sentinal really just cant figure out what accent he wants to have.
>>570822507Fucking grim lol, this season is cooked.
>>570812837just 2 more weeks bro
>>570826092For me the drones are just an added bonus. Haven't gotten much of a chance to play trios but that ranged instant rez felt so instrumental in winning some our fights that it just seems hard to justify not bringing him if the others don't
It is deeply amusing EVERY person who was like "yo marathon is fire bungie cooked i could play this every day" has not said a word about Marathon since the new broke of Dextiny entering EoS.
>>570791002The people who made this game didn't make a game they like, and they don't play the game either.
>>570836630The store gave me a blue M77 for free with a drum mag and a dorito grip and a blue chip on it. It was on the right of the screen with the schemas and sponsored kits
>>570831849>but I mostly need it to learn the reds.The reds are in the exact same spot every time. Forget about getting the one West of Flight Control, that walkway is death.Opening pinwheel can be done with 2 greens which you'll either get from the players that you wipe, or the easy to find ones are in flight control I find. >t. regularly solo wipes outpost to run pinwheel
>>570801210Bungie at their best was slow, sloppy and erratic. This is D2 slopathon bungie.
>>570791002i actually like the grey freekits better. they give you a little more ammunition to work with and you have depleted heals to use on scratches from bots so you don't waste your 3 shield charges. you just have to play like you're a glass cannon that would ideally like to use a cradlemaxxed knife to win a fight instead of your dinky gun. try a different shell maybe
>>570809663Crying and hiding in fear of the future layoffs.
>>570839157i've noticed myself getting better at outpost but i still need to find the third red key that isn't on the pier, i now know the dorms and processing keys well and that area of the map but i am a bit lost in orientation, always feels like a supremely dangerous area to fuck withi play a mix of teams and solos moreso teams i prefer mic communication since i don't get out of the house it's almost like going to the pub or something
>>570824323That seems to be the plan. My disgusting teammates aren't even looting purple shields anymore.
>>570839469>but i am a bit lost in orientationThe key isn't in Orientation, it's on the roof of a small building just next to flight control right here. You can see it here on the roof to the right with the little yellow thing (That's because I already took it, if it's not been taken it will have the long antennae going upwards)From this angle, behind it is Orientation and just to the left of me is Flight Control. Get familiar with that area too because a lot of fights happen inside Flight Control usually. > it's almost like going to the pub yes lad, sound like a right sound geezer
>>570831384LOL. Who the fuck told you that?
>They didn't even fix the match selection bug
So far in Season 2, we’ve had:1.) The Cradle totally replace the old upgrade system, which was flawed and slow, but luck could make it go faster. Now you literally need loot to propel the Cradle, but you can’t do that if you can’t win, and a bunch of people got to play with the OLD “casino rules”, now you can’t—and you can’t win as much if…2.) …the loot was nerfed from many of the low hanging fruit sources, like the 5 cert boxes or the final room of SS Narsh. But that’s also been taken away before many got the chance to utilize it. The people who did got to keep all their stuff and can now use that stuff to get more stuff.3.) Sponsored Kits were gutted. If you’re starting from scratch after a series of bad runs—no more Mida Free Kit Bully for you. You’re better off just taking no meds and spending 600 credits on a Battle Pistol and a stack of Light Ammo over a free kit.4.) Putting quests on loot room keys was also an awful change. Loading into a match to do nothing and Exfil just to forge a key was dumb, but the solution wasn’t to change how an unforged key works—it was to remove unforged keys. Like just remove the dumb step to “unlock” the key. No Matter Fixative either. A blue key shouldn’t demand you open 3 UESC containers. Just let us use the keys! We can die anyway, why add this extra pain?5.) With everything mentioned so far, and no longer having guaranteed events on every map, and keys being worse—this leads to the final reliable loot option left—slamming Red Room on Outpost. Which was also nerfed. It’s not as good, and it’s very repetitive.6.) The quests are also the same, so there’s no new story reasons to play. Faction Rank Ups were also nerfed and now give loot. VIP 15+ is supposed to be better, but it’s still just not what it was.7.) Barters were bad, but now they are even worse. They nerfed the hell out of them. Not to mention the awful change to schemas to make them barters. A Misriah has the same requirement as a Battle Rifle schema—why?
>thief/vandal duo camping on roof in south relay with snipersI kind of fucking hate this shit.
>>570831172Man those marathon streamers are making it BIG they have a fifth of the entire game's playerbase watching.
Did they walk back the voice chat bias in matchmaking? No one I'm filling with speaks
I didn't realize some of the codex challenges unlock the "privilege" of paying bungie $30-40 for shitty merch holy shit that's amazing25 for a pin, bravo
>>570840220>can't make a good game>can't fix their bad game>sony are sharpening their katanas as we speak
oh wow they very quickly realized how unintuitive the new ranked selection was and reverted to the old way where it's a separate map, that's something I guess.
>>570842036>you either walk into their kill zone or walk back through the area you already spent however many minutes clearing>>570826449you spend most of your time in hallways unable to get value from her ult. she's useful for hitting cardio kicks and sprinting around the map in solo queue to clear contracts, she's useful on any map that isn't called cryo or outpost.
Why the hell are they nerfing loot? The average person is never going to ever get anything at this point. No lifers are gonna get gold shit anyways no matter how hard they nerf shit. People were able to max out their cradle in the first week or two who play all day. What are bungie smoking?
>>570821941
This season's free kits are fucking dogshit. Bungie being stingy and making the wrong things worse already fucked them with destiny, in this game it's gonna kill them.
>>570843863>Why the hell are they nerfing loot?What you mean is: Why the hell did they take this long to fix it. The issue wasn't that the loot was ever scarce, it was that because it was so plentiful the guys who were in the know vacuumed it all up. It's something nobody can know, but it should be handled much quicker instead of after the assholes have their vaults full of loot.
>>570844541What I want to know is who at Bungie are making these awful decisions.Honestly, at this point, I would believe Bungie is committing intentional suicide so Sony fully kills them.
>>570844541The fact that only three of the free kits have automatics is very telling that they are scared of freekits shitting on kitted players.
>>570842631I didn't realise I was muted for ages because I clicked my profile apparently.
>>570844564Insane Destiny 2 player here with severe Stockholm SyndromeWelcome to what they've been doing, or did do with Destiny 2.>Bug happens>Don't fix it instantly>Tons of content creators pump out videos and clips of the bug>Stream doing the bug>Bungie proceeds to wait until just a little to many people are catching on>Pull the rugNow only the super sweats and content creators have all the goodies while normies and casuals have nothing.
>>570845650Inducing FOMO with your bugs and exploits is a fucking evil strategy
>>570845012Which is funny enough as it is because the gameplay boils down to>Get the first shot in, win engagement
>>570842631I never noticed it to being with. I've been muted 24/7 if I play without friends and it always matched me with people who probably didn't even realize they had their mic on half the time.
Does bungie realize that more people will play the game if they can actually get GOOD loot? Good riddance, let casual players get gold items every now and then so it isn't cock and ball torture. The avg person will prob run purple shields once or twice a wipe with a decent weapon before getting bored or frustrated.
>>570831283It's actually insane how there are zero good content creators for this game despite Bungie basically letting them exploit and abuse the rest of the playerbase. Has to be because of the Destiny 2 community's creators basically taking up the limelight and being fucking insufferable faggots like the retards that host 'Escape Will Make Me Pod'.
>>570840442Schemas being barters is a good change desu, but everything is dogshit.
>>570842631Not everyone with mics want to speak, in fact I'm guessing a minority of them will speakAlso there's still mic bugs where someone won't be able to hear any voice chat at all and will only get the speaking icon notification until restarting the game.
>>570848253>our content creators are Glorpinity and uh.... Peanut.... *cough* *cough* come back....
>>570845012the freekits feature weapons bungie clearly wants to get data on. the CE pistol recently got a big tweak so they want to see if it still needs work.
>>570848338Disagree. All the barter prices are insane for most of the trades. Why would I ever waste like 3-5 blue salvage pieces on a fucking WSTR when I just want to wax a little nostalgically? It's better used on the Misriah barter instead. The trade-offs are just so bad because Bungie has no idea what the game is actually like.
>queue ranked>two no mic teammatesi should get my whole loadout refunded and they should get permabanned i fucking hate bad players
>>570848338no it's not lol. how the fuck am i supposed to actually get the game to spit out ten volatile compounds? i can farm golds easier than that. it's a nightmare. i haven't redeemed a single good weapon from a schema this season and i probably won't. the salvage required is so rare that the schemas may as well have been removed. it also seems like there are two wolves inside bungie and one of them wants to distribute loot and the other wants people to play with overruns
>>570848574It needs to be removed from the game
>>570849536im an in chat text typa player
>>570849958please explode or never queue crew fill
>>570850073my vault is bigger than yours btw
>>570848584The barters are mostly for the stuff you have in excess. When you've done most of your upgrades and approach mid-season, you'll usually be sitting on a mountain of salvage you simply want to get rid of. I don't understand why someone would ever fuss over schemas or specific high grade barters if they're low on salvage or still actually need it for something.
>>570850143Everyone has the same vault size
>>570850143not the point anyone can play the game more than me i bought it in s1 before carri dropped and i only have 400 hours and most of those are idle
I can't even get a perimeter/dire night lobby on ps5 with crossplay off. This shit is dead
>>570850181Mostly because attaining salvage needed for upgrades is a horrific pain in the ass in the current state of the game. I either end up having to run shit solo because gathering salvage means also escaping and fills want to go get farmed by whatever sweat team exists on the map, which is really boring, or it means running (and extracting) from Cryo which I've only successfully done once.
>>570851210also if you exfil from cryo you'd usually rather snatch a mizzy from a body or arms locker than pick up like 7 compounds to barter for a grey one eventually
>>570846050welcome to bungies game design. we tried to warn you.
Introduce a new item. Barter only, one per weekly reset.Effect: Fixates your loadout so you do not lose it upon defeat or failure to exil.For bonus: Anyone who loots your body can see what you carried, but it's all locked and can't be picked.
when is the pve coming out? is it worth buying on the 3rd party key sellers? i dont want to spend 40 usd on this
>>570848584it's a good idea on paper, at least it would be good as an alternative you could pay instead of credits, but yeah the exchange rate was thought up by someone who does not understand how the game plays
>>570848574Yeah but did they have to fuck with the rest of the kits?
>>570852353Second half of the season is what they said
I waited for Tarkov to turn 1.0 and then got bored of it after a week (being filled with 6000hr players didnt help)I enjoyed Grey Zone Warfare cause it was freeform but havent been back since update (wipes are gay)I genuinely enjoyed CoD DMZ.I plaued the shit out of Delta Force extraction mode and got preddy gud, but the game is a little too forgiving (I like the tarkov suffering) Arena Breakout is even more of a joke in this regard amd the cheaters take the piss.This being said, will I enjoy Marathon?
>>570853306How much does the aesthetic interest you? The gunplay is solid but everyone having hero abilities and such might turn you off. The systems aren't as granular as Tarkov or GZW, there isn't really any fafffing about with mag checking, loading mags, eating, etc.
>>570853667Sounds like delta force without the chink spyware. Im in
>>570853306It's built for trios in mind and HEAVILY emphasizes pvp. If you want to drop in and rape people with two buds it's great
>>570853306you might, especially if you enjoy suffering, but ftr it does have forced wipes and you will be filled with 500 hour players
Realistically when's the EoS announcement being dropped? I don't see this game lasting another 6 months. I think by end of 2026 EoS is very realistic, possibly even too optimistic.
>rook it up on outpost>7 mins left>pin wheel not opened>go around the map like a retard trying broken wing and conveyance key but nothing>find 2 yellows and one green that spawned right next to me>do the weapons room in dormitories>get a purple weapon>realise some team did the warden>they didn't loot the red capsuleIdk or maybe they did and got a yellow key?But why the fuck would they leave a purple shield?
I almost never rook but I was rooking in the sponsored survival on perimeter. A rook player would never "ask" to exfil with potentially enemy runners right? I normally play solo and basically trust no one ever UNLESS the circumstance is dire. Like what is the typical rook mindset? Obviously I want to extract too but what reason do I have to believe they would let me live? So I attacked the squad of 3 and killed two. Died to the last one who was behind a trailer I didn't see.
>>570856135Probably heavily kitted fags just farming wardens hard for cryo keys and nothing else.
>>570854535Well it does use battleye but I guess if your choice is being raped and being punched in the balls it's better I guess. It's no PnkBstr that's for sure.
Why are people so overly concerned about sweaty players? If you play 3 hours a week, you will never be as good as the guy playing the game 50+ hours a week. and I think that is fine right? Why is it that when it comes to games, people get mad about sweaty players but not about real life sports? The mother fucker playing soccer 50-60 hours a week is going to shit on the guy playing recreational soccer 3 hours a week. Am I missing something? I consider myself a middling player of most games. Wouldn't say I am ultra casual but never ultra sweaty either. I know some casual players and they truly expect to be heavily catered to and to be on the same skill level as a person who is literally unemployed and plays a lot. Why?
>>570857437Usually, Messi does not play at my local soccer league.
>>570857437No one wants to get rolled by people who are so far ahead of them in skill that they learn nothing from it
>>570857437Because the chances I get blocked out by Lebron at the YMCA gym is significantly lower than if some unemployed faggot manages to end up in the same lobby as me in my game with zero SBMM because sweats also don't want to play against one another. I just want people at my skill level, maybe slightly better, maybe slightly worse. I don't feel like being someone's loot pinata with no comeuppance and if I start feeling like that I stop playing, simple as.
>>570856486I mean it happens especially with CARRI but I would assume every Rook in sponsored survival is out for blood because there's no other reason to play that mode as a Rook
>>570857437It's like playing chess as a beginner but most of your games are against those chess hustlers who are just there to take your money
>>570857437>I know some casual players and they truly expect to be heavily catered to and to be on the same skill level as a person who is literally unemployed and plays a lot.Strawman. Do you think skilled players aren't being heavily catered to when they get matched with shitters, when that pandering to sweats comes at the expense of the majority of the skill distribution? Do you really, honestly think wanting an experience that's worth your time means expecting to have the same skill level as more experienced players?
>>570822507Added weekly login rewards beneath the "today's sponsors” section in the Armoryholy fuck this game throws loot at you like crazy alreadylike half my shit already goes to the cradle
>>570853306Nosave your money and wait for DmZ 2
What the fuck is a uesc supply crate
>takes 15 minutes for a rook run to finally pop in dire marsh>game spawns me in front of a team that kill me as I'm loading int-thanks bungie
>>570861042iirc it's the crates that spawn from the 3 cert towers
???Maintenance ended hours ago didn't it?
Whats the point in the carri system if i cant farm purple keys like in season 1
>shoot a hook to get onto a dirt ledge besides data wall>YOU'RE OUT OF BOUNDS YOU'RE GETTING GAPED IN 10 SECONDSFuck off.
>>570858605I hate that EOMM in many games basically just pendulum swings you between stomp lobbies on either end of the stick, they try to recreate the push and pull between victory and loss but not at the granular level that you'd experience during a match that naturally makes you get invested into it. PvP games are at their most fun when you're about evenly matched and really have to claw your way to victory. Maybe I'm just a minority when it comes to this and people just like stomp lobbies better
>>570848253The destiny content creators are such massive dweebs it's crazy
>>570865805>Maybe I'm just a minority when it comes to this and people just like stomp lobbies betterIt's not a minority opinion.
>>570857437getting steamrolled by people you had zero chance against fucking sucks dudeespecially in a game like this where you lose your gear, lose your contract progress, and have to sit in a lobby while the game struggles to even find you a match in the first place
i love vandal so fucking much bros...
>>570865805SBMM matchmaking is literally the gold standard for shooters and anyone complaining about it just want to pubstomp.
i love crew fill with 2 mutes
it's ogre
>barely breaking 10k todayA true masterstroke Bungie, you've driven off the casuals yet again!
make way for the objective weapon tier list
>>570870645>you cant kill me in a PvP game because you use your brain......YOU JUST CANT OKAYimagine defending SBMM, you must be a shitter
>>570873198>losing to LeBron makes you a shitterdie faggot
>>570871198?This was known ages ago and they're shutting down Destiny 2 for a reason. Why keep Destiny 2 people around. A few might get moved over like some artists or programmers, but that's it. You clowns really need to learn to stop doomposting like toddlers.
>>570873272are you the fag that was BEGGING for SBMM last season in these generals. Must be. I NEED SBMM WAH BUNGIE SAVE ME I NEED TO BE PROTECTED lol hope you are getting farmed every game
>>570873917with that attitude enjoy your dead game in a few months
>>570852353>when is the pve coming out?Scrapped. Sony told Bungie to sut the fuck up and release the DLC that was in development before release.No new modes like PvE or arena
>>570873198>I want a fair match>HOW DARE YOU KILL MEIf you have to make a faggy little false equivalence to make a point, maybe it was retarded and full of aids? There's no cure for your level of insecurity, kill yourself so we don't have to read your shitty cope.
The womanly SBBM anon will now present her backside for me to use, on marathon the game
>>570873917that wasnt me, but it sounds like that anon really did a number on you. get well soon, nigger
Anyone who argues against SBMM is afraid to get matched against people better than them and just wants to farm noobs
Should have done those limited contracts before the dire/night rotation started.
>>570874175>>570875015>>570875175>>570875273shitters >>570874695>fair match>in a gear based extraction PVP game?
two things:1. how the fuck do I git gud at Vandal? i understand the strategic value of positioning but something about her kit just feels so lackluster in comparison to the other shells. unless i stat-dump into agility and heat capacity she runs way too hot at lower levels, and her movement is heavily neutered unless you're outside or something since she'll be stuck in her slide animation once you start it. I see her a lot in videos of high-level play so there must be something I'm missing, is it just a question of getting better gear? if so that sucks because it seems like every other shell works just fine right out of the box, but vandal needs both gear and stat investment to really shine. 2. Im struggling with keyboard/mouse. I dont normally play FPS's, and this is my first one on KB+M since the early Halo Custom Edition Days. I have a bigass mouse with tons of side buttons since it helps with other, slower games I play. Would it help if I had a smaller mouse? Turned down the aim sensitivity? Should i just bite the bullet and play controller for this one game?have some Vandussy for your troubles
>>570875808>deflectingI didn't say anything about gear disparity, stupid nigger.
>>570875852>how the fuck do I git gud at Vandal?The harsh truth is Vandal depends on teammates, if your turbo teammates are at mid range and cracking enemy shields, you can run around and attack the weakened enemies.If your team did nothing, and you use movement, you get mercilessly gangbanged.
>>570873198Says the nigger sandbagging into timmy lobbies to dunk on them
>>570875852Vandal has a few legitimate/situational uses.>flanking a squad>fleeing from a conflict, like powersliding past turrets into cover>double jump as a general QOL improvement>using her ult to traverse long distances more quicklyI was a vandal main for all of S1 and I switched to Thief. Destroyer has better horizontal mobility than Vandal, Thief has better (single use) mobility both horizontal/vertical than vandal, and Thief can straight up hack other shells which is ironic considering Vandal's actual name is "Glitch." There is nothing Vandal can do that another shell cannot do for less investment. They should have leaned a lot harder into the MIDA origins and angle they have set up for her and made her a hacking/demolitions expert. Turn bots into friendlies, turn off lights, hack other shells, fucking something other than just pure positioning.Also, you should play controller even if for no other reason than you're obviously more familiar with it. Trying to make the switch in a game as twitchy with a low TTK like Marathon is just asking for trouble
>>5708758521.) she needs heat capacity, agility, and open space to extract value from her kit- you're right.. you're struggling because every other character has buttons they can press whenever they feel like with whatever stats and extract a TON of value while she's much more limited. you aren't really doing anything wrong, she's just very demanding for how little she provides in return. thief offers 80% of what vandal does except thief also provides the drone for gathering info and the visor for running down invisible fucks.2.) lower your sensitivity and try to move the mouse deliberately until you adapt. you're going to be playing into a lot of controller players with borderline aim hacks so it'll feel like you're doing poorly even when you're doing everything right, that's just marathon's nature.
OFFICIAL shell ranking1. Thief2. Assassin3. Destroyer4. Triage5. Sentinel6. Recon7. Vandal
>>570877349>Says the nigger sandbagging into timmy lobbies to dunk on themThat's not him, that's me. There's more than one anti-SBMM dude here.
>>570875852>unless i stat-dump into agility and heat capacitybro dont play vandal or destroyer without that part of your cradle maxxed
>>570879039Assassin and Recon should switch. Destroyer doesn't feel like he's bringing a lot this season either, and Vandal has more movement spam now.
I don't think going solo runner is helping my run, with added fear of losing gear, I'm just gonna go all ROOK, it's not like I play with anyone else ;~;
i just bought the pass, how the fuck do i get more of the currency to unlock the stuff in it?>>570879039Recon is still the best imo, it literally changed the way cryo is played
>>570786765I really loved this game, but the rotating dire marsh maps I cant tolerate and I'm tired of the game doing ridiculous shit like defaulting to solos or perimeter. I'm tired of having my time wasted.
>>570885105Leveling up gives you Silk (battle pass currency).
Magic trick
>>570882546Which maps do you like, you could join me
>cloak deactivates aimbotOh no no, getting exposed

>>570890049We're getting fucked HARD, we NEED d*st*ny
>>570891569i really hope they add pve. i'll play it a lot. right now to get shit i just freekit outpost and try to stab purple shields to death. right now all i find is blue shields in my games i wonder if it's my season level
>>570890049Jesus Christ the free week and all those sales didn't do a single thing
>>570893030What could they do? There's no SBMM to keep the top 20% away from the normal players, who get used and abused
>>570892026If you have some credits to spare I recommend either the green cyak 4k kit with the absurdly OP battle pistol that can destroy purple shields, or the 4k Arachne kit that will give you some implants that will boost your melee enough to one combo blue shields, assuming you have max melee in cradle.I also find I get paired with geared teammates more when I throw one of those kits on instead of free.
