>>574179003>hurr Ima REEL herdcore PvP supremacist dun tawk 2 me til i had my QUAKE 3 MULTIPLAYAH, CASUALOpinion which did not exist before a couple hours ago. You can just say that you think Bungie adding PvE gamemodes would be bad for Marathon because it'd splinter the playerbase even harder and tilt PvP lobbies even more in favour of nolife grinders. Escape From Tarkov players can say that about their PvE gamemode, PvE events and PvE mod, and they have 3-5x the Steam player count that Marathon does.Marathon (1994) had an optional gamerule to enable bots from the campaign to spawn around the maps. Bungie also fostered an atmosphere of competitiveness and prestige of excellence in PWNing noobs, in the manual, the interviews, the secret fourth-wall breaking terminals from the dev team. "Vidmaster". Videogame-Master, but also Video-Master. Novel methods of playing the game which are entertaining to spectate. Used both in singleplayer campaign contexts and multiplayer PvP. This retarded fake affected "PvP supremacism" has no basis in reality, there was never any organic animosity between the two groups of players in any game, you're just some Mexican pigfucker looking for something to lord over randoms and bait interactions. Kill yourself.
>>574182351>Looking For Group servicerunclub tranny groomers get the rope
>Playerbase has to use the equivalent of a dating app to play as teams at this point in the game's lifespan.Just EOS this game already. Put Bungie out of their fucking misery.

https://runclub-alpha.netlify.app/>>574163428>>574164664I started building this in season 1 and am having to manually input everything so there is a lot of unfinished placeholder stuff. The "matchmaking" stuff has been the priority but I will update the cradle stuff.Profile data should save between refreshes now, working on updating contracts. You're right though standard contracts are not the focus I will change the focus to priority contracts and maybe fix standard later. >>574164865I am working on the profile fix for season level. the profile at the top is supposed to reflect your own profile but you have to update it yourself. i will add spots to filter by mic and loadout valuenew patch is up still working on things, but i have to work so it will be cleaner on the weekend thanks for the help, keep it coming
>>574183706holy TRVKE
>>574185849If it's used to promote Marathon 2026, it's a tranny website
I'm a tranny fucker and I looked at Marathon because people told me it would have trannies
I'm in EU and I have not met a single tranny while playing this game. Two faggots judging from Steam profiles at most. Guessing it's a different story over in Amerikwa.
I don't care about how many casuals are or are not playing and I don't care how to make them play more or reel them back in and keep them playing. It's not my problem. It's Bungie's problem and I don't care about Bungie. If the game dies, I don't die with it. I simply do something else. Same as ever.
I'm happy to see the Vault Breaker PvE mode fail. And then I will sexual assault the OCE poster
Thoughts on the Repeater HPR?
>>574195202Long range guns are a bad idea, maps too small. Unless you're doing PvE, getting away from UESC to shoot is good, you won't get swarmed by them quickly. Dealing with runners, close range guns are better, because runners are trained like dogs, to tell each other "push him". They will literally run into your bullets, while your moving away, and a long range scope will throw you off, because it will be zooming too close to the runners.TLDR you don't have maps that make long range guns useful. You need a map that is 3X wider than Dire Marsh.
>>574195202>>574196002Marskman rifles are supposed to work across the map, unlike assault rifles. Forgot to add that, Repeater works under 40(forty) meters. That's terrible, it's a marksman weapon and is outclassed by full auto regular rifles
>>574195202you'll have an easier time with most other gunsit's good if you have a solid position and can jiggle from cover with itbut good luck if you get forced out of position and/or pushed
>>574196179>Repeater >MarksmanIt's a triple tap mid-range rifle. The issue i have with it is that it's primary function is locked behind it's gold mod, which in turn means that you're stuck with horrid RPM otherwise. They should just make the lever give it dueling potential and give the Speedshooter option to the gun as a default and it would be worth using straight out the box. Currently it loses to a fucking D54 every time.
>>574197591to be fair like everything loses to the D54, the gun is insane
>>574198536Hopefully will be less of a case in a week's time, comments from devs on some twitter replies seem to hint at the battle pistol getting a smack in addition to the misriah
I guess it feels kind of nice carrying a green and purple random fill squad through two team fights and rooks but fuck you cunt you're lucky that you didn't instantly get blown up at the start of the round and doom us all.
>>574199182Having new maps would be nicer
>>574183706We are going to get down to like 2 or 3 thousand players by the end of S2. The PvE mode vault breakers will have done NOTHING to save this game. Then will come S3 and we will get to see all the new PvE shit they added to the game and the few thousand people left who play this game for it's PvP will have quit because of it. It will be another no content season for the people who actually want to play this game.Retards like you will still be insisting the game failed because it wasn't PvE enough for your fragile sensibilities. I cant wait for the chart posts and the PvE cope.
>>574211129Tarkov has full-fledged PvE and it is doing 10x better than Marathon. PvE is not the problem here.
>>574195202Who the fuck uses a level action rifle in the 29th century?
The size of your gape is getting ever larger. Bungie has been raped and now all that awaits them is death.
>Niggas were looking at tik tok and concluded marathon was going to be a huge success because some hoes were playing dress uplmao
>>574211129>it's only on Saturday because Cryo lol>returning players shake their heads and leave again>you need to be Level 25 to play it>also it's a limited time experimental game mode >potential new bloods hear about this and refuse to buy the gameThey could fuck it up in ways that have nothing to do with it being PvE focused.
>>574224665Well, it did have pretty okay launch numbers. The problem is that launch day was the all time peak.
avatarfags deserve rape
>>574219580PvE makes pvp worse. If people thought sweat was an issue beforehand theyre in for a rapist awakening
>>574211129I will once again askWhat does PvP only content look like to you. Something that ONLY benefits PvP and not PvE in any sense whatsoever
>>574224916Avatar fags don't exist. James Cameron failed.

>>574183706trvke
erm
>>574231413We are so back.
lol they're gonna make it so assassins' lose invis when they sprint because aim assist faggots were losing their minds
>>574231634They should just change the icons every 2 months at this rate.
>>574231584>Pulling prime time Australian hours player numbers at 12 in the afternoon East Coast hours.I guess at this point the only player spike is West Coasters/probably Commiefornians, because nobody else is touching this slop.
https://files.catbox.moe/qmadtw.png
>>574226440Anon, how are you this fucking retarded?Why is it so impossible to envision for Bungie to introduce more casual PvP modes like TDM, CTF, KotH? They could take it a step further and add modes like fiesta, infection, or shotty snipers.Modes where people could learn how to play the game, practice, and have fun doing so in a low stress environment with friends. It’s hard to improve in a game with a .5 second TTK and what’s effectively a 10 minute respawn timer. It’s going to be nigh impossible to get new blood in this game as the queues get worse and the community’s average skill rating increases every passing day.Additionally player density is a problem in this game. The maps are too small, every raid plays like Factory or Labs. They need to expand map sizes in the future.I know you retards think PvP and competition means max sweat 24/7, but it doesn’t have to look like that. Most of what I recommend for the game is extremely casual friendly, you can follow the reply trail back to the start where I’m requesting things that would make the game easier you faggots who cant reliably exfil..You faggots yap about tarkov pve mode, but fail to realize it cut the community in half at the very least. They are two entirely separate games at this point. This was also sold as a pvp extraction shooter, anybody who bought this expecting a bot stomp is brain dead shitter.The reality is none of these kinds of changes are coming to the game because they are busy cooking up the worst PvE slop imaginable for an audience of whiney faggots who will not play it. Meanwhile the people that do play this game, because it’s a PvP game, will suffer yet another season of content draight.By the end of this season there will only be a few thousand people left wanting to play the game, and S3 will be the end of them. You will never get your destiny from Temu which you have been begging for.
ah they're really just not gonna touch recon at all, are they?
>>574232720That's overdelivery and they're getting ready for EoS
>>574232484I never played DestinyA casual PvP arena mode would be a good thing to the game and I don't know why you'd assume I would believe otherwise. They mentioned the idea of "a more purely PVP-focused mode" so something like that is probably coming, maybe as early as S3You also completely ignored my question. So let me reiterate, what content can be added or changes made to the main PvPvE extraction mode of the game that benefits solely PvP and has no influence on PvE whatsoever? Everyone always acts like developing the PvE side of the game will take away from the PvP, but realistically what are strictly PvP only changes? Anything that develops the PvE of the game and makes it more interesting results in developing the overall PvPvE experience, which in turns deepens the PvP experience. PvPvE is the intention for extraction shooters, even though most end up being PvP with extra steps because devs neglect the PvE aspect. If you're arguing to neglect the PvE aspect of a PvPvE game, then this game might also just not be for you either, there are plenty of PvP only games not bogged down by PvE for you to go play instead
>>574234053>hur dur what pure PvP can you addcunt, I just told you. Read.
>>574234424Thanks for the confirmation that you're just baiting and not willing to engage in an actual conversation

>>574236737looks like I skipped through that paragraph. thank you anon
>>574238046Read, nigga.
Love this game fuck runlets
>>574238132Sorry, I misunderstood what this was saying.
>>574236737>our full PvE mode, arriving in Season 3LM AO EXTRACTION PVP PURIST BTFO PVE IS COMING BABY AND NOTHING YOU CAN DO WILL STOP IT
we are not getting those 5 seasons, are we?
>>574239374Best I can do is a season 3 into end of service combo, sorry
>>574236286They've always been retarded, they had tens of hundreds of thousands of devs working on temporary seasonal content for Destiny 2 instead of making permanent content, or even working on a build that kept the vanilla launch campaign + DLCs that made it to where new players can get into the game and not be overwhelmed mechanically and storywise. They've even been retarded during the Halo 2 days because Jason Jones straight up left the struggling H2 team to work on a cancelled project that went nowhere, essentially leaving them without any leadership.
>>574239374They've pushed forward their already desperate pivot into pve from season 5 for full pve to season 3.Internally you can bet your ass that this is the final chance they get, you dont just push forward an entire gamemode by 9 months if things are doing well internally
>Vault Breaker is time gated FOMO shitLMAO, it's over, it's actually over.
>They are pushing the full PvE mode from Season 5 to Season 3I think people don't realize the implicationThey're DESPERATEThis is their last breath. If that PvE mode doesn't revive the game (it won't), Season 3 is absolutely gonna be the final season
>Seasons 4 and 5 cancelled>Season 3 is now getting the PVE modeMarathon: Monument of Blasts soon
>>574241731What full PvE mode? They never had one to begin with, Vault Breaker is literally being rushed out the door right now after the shit reception from Season 2, and it will only be available for 2 weeks. By the time it closes, they still have another full month without content, this game is not making it past season 3.
>>574241731>>574241691There is zero chance the game does well to ever get more seasons after this. They're going to move Bungie onto working on one last incubation project to save themselves and if they can't get it greenlit, the studio gets shuttered.
>>574242086>Vault Breaker is our very first experimental PvE mode. We're excited for you all to jump in and check it out, and we can't wait to gather up all of your feedback and data as we continue to work towards our full PvE mode, arriving in Season 3.>Vault Breaker begins with Update 1.1.5 on July 21st and runs through August 4th.>our full PvE mode, arriving in Season 3.they are rushing to push out anything, brother
>Hate Bungie and want them to die>Beg for PVE mode>PVE gets added>Nobody plays it because nobody actually wanted it>Bungie and Marathon dies
They realize PvE for Tarkov works because Tarkov is so autistic with it's loot and gear autism and quests and pimping out your hideout. Its a full game on its own. What would be fun about the PvE in this half-assed game?
>>574242285Its still amazing that they thought Dire Marsh at night and a progress wipe would be enough to keep their game alive until August, when Marvels Wolverine is launching and will easily steal what little PS5 players they have, CoD is launching their own extraction mode soon in MW4, and GTA6 will steal the attention from all normalfags.
>>574242967they don't realize anythingthey're just listening to random shit on Twitter and scrambling to put anything out because they're fucking desperatethey're just doing shit without thought, rhyme, or reasoning behind it. They're just throwing shit at the wall to see if anything sticks
>>574242967Good question. What the fuck is there to do? There is nothing to show off, there is no hideout, no customization, no character progression besides factions and stats. Tarkov is essentially a sandbox environment with a lot of depth to it, Marathon is just a glorified Battle Royale shooter arena.
>>574242181>the studio gets shutteredGood

I enjoyed stomping normalfags without SBMM, goal was to ruin their fun.>but the servers will be offlineNot for the next that I'm buying
>>574246604have you considered committing to the fight and winning?
>>574242967I don't disagree, which is why I've argued that Marathon should have had PvE from the very start, because then they could have designed a more interesting long term loop than having to try and implement something underbaked that doesn't have much lasting impactBetter late than never, but if S3 doesn't have a noticeable effect on player numbers to the point where a turn around seems possible, it will actually have been too late. Better than never though still
>>574246604Everyone carries an equalizer...
waiting for vault breakers
I was done waiting when I saw "Perimeter Update", I went back to Arc and Warzone.No new map, no download
Shotguns rework seems interesting, the reworked WSTR seems like it would've saved me so many fucking times by now. I quite liked bringing 3-4 nades, wonder if we'll see people bringing ammo crates to try and get over the infil cap.
True enlightenment is realizing that Perimeter is the best designed map and Cryo is the worst
>people can still bring 2 bubble shields and they’re still as strong without any adjustments>WSTR now 2 taps purples againAwesome, the bubble meta is not only still here but it’s now even MORE aids.

>>574266431yeah, well. too little too late
>>574256921>bubble health is apparently getting nerfed to 400, according to a dev who sits in some streamer's chatwhy would they not announce it in the blog post then? literally everyone would jump for joy with the bubble getting fucking nuked
>>574270815These aren't the full patch notes.
>>574270923Right, so then why talk about the specifics of the battle pistol and wstr changes? They're chill with giving a vague "oh yeah we'll touch up the mizzy haha" but then don't even bother to talk about what they're changing about it, meanwhile they're sharing the specific kill range of the new wstr, all while not mentioning some supposed bubble nerf that could literally change everything and make the game more funJust retarded consistency desu. It's not even that I'm not excited for the changes, but I just hate how Bungie goes about actually sharing info.
>>574264915He got a cut of the 3.6 billion sale, hell if I'm working on a sinking ship after getting that kind of money

S3 will see gains because it will be free, but the gains will be small, everyone's buying grand theft auto and Logan's game
>>574280379>S3 will see gains because it will be freeS2 was free for the first 10 days and the player count plummeted faster than ever before
>>574280624to be fair a free weekend* and the game going free-to-play are very, very differentthe first one is akin to a demo, the second one is the full game
>>574280624>S2 was free for the first 10 daysAnd had new players sticking around until the trial was over. Sony is stupid for not keeping it free, Marathon could've continuously gained small numbers of players who try it on Steam/Xbox/PS.Instead of a sloppy 5K there would be a 10K total right now. Pretty dead, but still diverse enough to matchmake with a variety of skill levels on the regular, every hour.
>>574282268no one's investing time or money in a game that goes F2P three months after launch lol
>>574282268>Sony is stupid for not keeping it free, Marathon could've continuously gained small numbers of playersI'm not saying this would be good for Bungie or Sony, game would lose everyone this fall anyway.It would be good for the game this summer. Instead, we're running with the same niggers over and over, unless some chink VPNs xerself into American lobbies with 220 ping
>>574282268i imagine they'd sooner do one of those 'fake' f2p models. like runescape or whatever, where you get to dip your toes in and experience a slice of the content but to get the whole thing you need to buya literal demo but a perpetual one
>>574282765Sony is investing in it's own image, PlayStation wants to look good while Microshit is cancelling games and selling studios. They both announced to drop support for discs, but Microsoft is the one who looks like a retarded failure, who bought studios and all of them flopped.Sony knows Marathon won't make money this summer, but they decided not to let everyone who cares try it. Every week there's someone who finally got time, or became interested, they should let them just download it. I'm not playing with the same faggots over and over again.
>>574283137This summer(no games literally) was perfect for Marathon to go free. I don't believe it's possible to do something this fall, it has the biggest FPS coming out with a full extraction mode, a big marvel game, and a generational open world game.Too many big games, and adults who are not interested, will still buy a gaming system and a copy of these games for kids, or friends.
>>574280379How fucking retarded do you have to be to think anyone wants to actually play the wolverine game? Guess I can't expect much from someone who self fellates to pictures of his own arm
WOLVERINE WILL SAVE MARATHON
>>574285196>How fucking retarded do you have to beto play a FPS that looks like a roblox knockoff, lacks content and queues forever?
>>574264915I'm sure the disillusionment with the absolute enshittification of videogaming isn't that bad when you at least get to retire with a nice grab bag by the end of it. I imagine he'd still have some stories to tell about how god awful Bungie got by the end of its run, though.
>>574282268>And had new players sticking around until the trial was overit was losing players every single day but sure people were sticking around
bungo will be a support studio for Horizon by 2027
>>574187810 did anyone see this?
>>574292471It's a good idea and it's frankly ridiculous Bungie hasn't already implemented something similar in-game, but there's not enough people ITT who actually play the game for it to take off. You'd have better luck shilling it on r*ddit, desu.
>>574285196this desu
Gonna come back when Vault Breaker drops and if it and the PvE in S3 is good I'll prolly stick around.

What went wrong? I played season 1 for around 300 hours, lasted around a month in this season and now my friend group doesnt play anymore. Gotta say, season 1 was the most fun I had in a game since tarkov.
>>574297148according to an informal survey conducted by me:>my bad friends quit because they hated the wipe, they barely had any gear worth wiping and and they weren't even done with priority contracts or viping factions, they were willing to put up with constantly losing when they felt like they were making progress but once that progress got deleted they had no interest in redoing it>my good friends quit because they already did everything in s1, night marsh wasn't new enough to hold their interest and they didn't want to keep running cryo since they already beat compiler and they don't like the cryo meta>my mid friends quit for no particular reason, they just got distracted by other games, but they don't want to come back now because they feel like it's too late in the season to catch up
>>574298252Sounds spot on.
People got tired of being careful, got demoralized. Except that one guy, who's mad about not having a new map. He's still listening for 20 mins and attacking runners, who took a chip of damage.
>>574296667>>be returningfag, got back into the game last week>>want to run cryo>>only have enough gear for a couple runsYou could free kit solo for today, slime some people and take their blue gear. Or just roll the dice and waste what you have. It will be fully unplayable next month, a lot more people are gonna quit in August. Try to enjoy it now.
what if ranked was its own separate profile that played more like a minified wipe than... whatever it is nowlike something that wipes weekly with sped-up progression and you earn ranked points based on your murders and acquisitions at the end (+per-raid scoring)or like, you play through 'stages', progressing to the next stage after meeting some quota (or eliminated if you fail to reach it) in some amount of raids. matchmade against others in the same stage and shitfor both of these you'd have to have something in play to ensure that giga-grinders won't just hard gap other players. probably some kind of raid limit, where you need to focus on quality over quantity
>>574301584Next limit the giga-grinder profiles daily play time, so they don't hard cap the playerbase into quitting, amirite

>>574322543>I don't think it'll be a campaign as such, but maybe just some new developments story wise. Most of the nu-lore for this season has been setting up stuff for next season really (UESC Reinforcements, more confirmation the planet is evolving to kill humanity, setup for our runner's origin, Euclides rival, inter-faction wars etc).yeah i really hope s3 does more to progress the plot, there's a lot of cool angles they can go with but they've kinda been treading mud. at the start of the priority contracts you know "weird shit is happening on tau ceti iv and the uesc is shady", and at the end of the contracts you know "weird shit is still happening on tau ceti iv and the uesc is still shady". night marsh has some neat collectibles but the overall plot is still just "REALLY weird shit is happening on tau ceti iv and the uesc is REALLY shady"it would probably be more interesting if there was any mystery as to what's going on with tau ceti iv but the answer is really obviously just "there's a w'rkncacnter inside" so it feels silly for them to act like it's some crazy grand reveal
>>574329870Oh right, because season 2 sure showed the haters didn't it?>doomfagsYou mean realists
>>574331504I don't care about your schizo justifications for staring at Steam charts all day, Deepak, I just want you to learn English so you can better assimilate into our superior culture. You're doing great, by the way; that post had zero grammatical errors! Keep up the good work! :D
>>574295535Same. But I'm never sticking around a full regular season again. I didn't finish my priority contracts this season and I'm not going through a third humiliation ritual of scanning tick nests
>>574331768Embarrassing. Even the arm guy was right about S2 being a giant flop while you cucks were hyping it up as the bestest thing ever made in video game history. You cucks have been proven wrong time and time again since the first closed beta test.
>>574303381There is 0% probability that Bungie just shadow developed anything resembling a campaign for season 3. But I do wonder what the shell voice actors will be used for.
>>574296667i'm having this same problem. i either look for LFGs and find sweats who i piss off by being a little bit too bad, or i'm the best player on my crew fill team and i can't sherpa no mic idiots. bungie's playerbase seems to have dropped out the middle, leaving only the least and most invested
>>574303381Probably just some social features and shit, they recorded lines to make teamwork with randoms more streamlined.
I know I am a sponsored kit jew and all but there is no reason that the robots should abuse me like they do
There will also probably be an experimental PvP focused mode this season.https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/season_2_is_now_live

>Marathon officially deadKEKhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SiylvmFI_8
ITS OVER
So can we get Destiny 3 now?
>>574358753Do you think the mods should just delete this thread at this point?
>>574359698Never trust anyone that has a number like this next to their name.If they go by Junior instead, trust them with your life.
>>574359698HOLY FUCKING SHITTHE DIRECTOR OF TALISMANIA DELUXE 3MARATHON IS SAVED
>>574359876It's over.
>>574359698Unsurprisingly, he's been a Destiny guy since D1.
>Rapes you and your dead game
>>574359698he's been at bungie since 2011so he's a destiny bab
>>574358753
>>574360428For once, I laugh with Calus.
>>574359698i don't know but this is his portrait from 2010. there's something in those eyes that make me trust this man completelyhis credits are a bunch of random dogshit games, and then at some point he gets picked up by bungie and starts working as a designer for destiny 1/2no disrespect about working on random dogshit games, for the record. this is actually a good thing. it means he's not a nepo hire. and was able to produce work good enough that, despite being all on dogshit games, he still got picked up by an actual studio to work on their actual games
>>574359698looks like Ray Stevensonthats... not a good omen...
>We exist together now, two corpses in one grave.Haha it's been a fun 3 months, /mg/. Maybe Sony can sell Bungie to someone that can afford to lose an infinite amount of money.
>>574358753Errrr guys, its a sign of a healthy and very successful not a flop game that the director was canned, right?
>>574358753>Del Chafe the Thirdwhat the fuck kind of name is that LMFAO surely it's a pseudonym or name change

>>574360957what what what
>Kill Destiny because it costs too much money>Marathon flops>Try to turn it into DestinyI don't understand the logic here. We're just getting a Destiny game that's worse in every way on a significantly lower budget?
>>574361867I mean Bungie can't budget and plan their projects well.>Woah we can't make any money when we hire 1200 devs and rent out massive studios in the most expensive states of the US?>This is Destinys fault for not making enough money!
(You)
>>574361867They should've turned it into Halo insteadJust gouge out sections of maps an let players kill each other, no one cares about the retarded UESC robots.
lmao bye bye!
Julia chan...
>The hero shooter nigger is gone>The trio focus faggot is gone>The tiny maps kike is gone
>>574362792Now they have a faggot that worked on the worst Destiny 2 expansions ever made. WE ARE SO BACK!!!
PvP chuds lost.PvE chads won.
>>574362869Could you elaborate? What was so bad about them?
>>574362968>Could you elaborate?No.
Doing a half-assed PVE mode in a few months is not the play. They need to try to do what Chris Barrett was doing.
>>574363242His vision of what Marathon would have been sounds so much more interesting. Even if these are only design goals and wouldn't have actually ended up in the game, the basics of it sound much cooler than the PvP hero shooter focus we gotFuck Ziegler man, I hate heros so damn much
>>574363676Why was he replaced again?
Are they going to pay BurntPeanut to save the PVE mode too?
>>574364521For being a white male
>>574364521white boy caught a vibe
>>574364521He was going to get paid a shit load of money for being at the company for so long. Bungie then made up a fake sexual harassment case against him to boot him out and pay him nothing. Then he raped them in court so they settled.
>>574364521sexual harassment, or if you don't buy that, complete mismanagement and directionless failure of development to the point they needed to bring in someone like Ziegler to cut things down to a reachable goal,Everything in Barret's tweet above sounds neat/cool but also>see that mountain? You can climb it
>>574364961>sexual harassment, or if you don't buy thatNobody should buy that.
>>574363676why they opted in for an apex legends wannabe over this vision i'll never understand
>>574365220They had to own Chris Barrett for having aura and creating SIVA.
>>574182351I still haven't bought all of them because my vault is too full
>>574358753Marathon sisters.......I don't feel so good
>>574363676Just hire this guy again. There must be an old build somewhere. In the 2023 trailer they where still pushing the "persistent zones".
>>574365696It's okay, sister. Let's just have a blast while we still can...
>>574358753>Del Chafe the ThirdDid they put a rapper in charge of this game?
>>574362943PvE 'chads' will play anything
>>574365759They probably just paid him well over $100M in the settlement. He'd be retarded to waste his time at Bungie again.
>>574363676How was this guy a game director? This is the biggest list of buzzword undeliverables, no wonder the project was stalling when it came into contact with reality.
>>574359694This is the Ziegler cut.
>>574365971They're just design goals, not requirements.
told ya
release the barrett cut
>>574358753ESCHARUM KEEPS WINNING
Barrett won
>>574366441True
We all lost
Let's win
>>574366710>We
>>574366839>Wuz
>>574365971>no wonder the project was stalling when it came into contact with reality.It probably would have ended up like Grey Zone which is not an impossible thing to do. A simple sprawling map that has set extraction points you can load in and out of at any time. Except instead of a jungle in Vietnam like in Grey Zone, it is the Marathon.

Gonna need a Tahnit status update
>>574279891god damn this game looks so shitty
>>574367828He's still shilling the game and calling out chuds every single day. He hasn't reacted to the news yet though.
>>574367112I can't imagine how bad the morale must be. Imagine having to work under the constant fear of being laid off at any moment while your leadership is a revolving door of idiots who have no idea what they are doing. Fucking GRIM.
>>574369195>Imagine having to work under the constant fear of being laid off at any moment while your leadership is a revolving door of idiots who have no idea what they are doing. Fucking GRIM.That's most AAA game companies in the west. At least Bungie deserves this more than most other developers.
you can breatheyou can blinkyou can cry
>>574367004Then you should be mourning. Ziegler was the reason why this game barely appeals to anyone.
>>574371307no they'll fix it now trust
the barrettization commencesi actually hope it goes through all the way and i end up wanting to play this rancid piece of shit by the end
>>574358753PVEBVLLS will show Ziegler's bootyhole what it means to truly Marathon
>>574371307Really wish we could see what that original version of Marathon they showed to a bunch of TARKOV STREAMERS that no one raised their hand for was like. They were trying to appeal to an audience that never mattered in the first place because they're only interested in Tarkov
>>574358825>anon making frog sounds againwhy are frogbros like this?
from the visionary auteur who rocked the industry to its core with>what if we took cs and added heroescomes his innovative new game>what if we took tarkov and added heroes
>>574364961You don't have proof for any of this, but we do know that Chris settled for probably millions in his lawsuit against Bungie and got his name re-added to Marathon's credits. But you can go ahead and believe that any man would risk a huge payout for the sake of touching the transfoids at Bungie.
Zieg Heil
Season 3 will be the lastEnjoy it while you canSony is not gonna keep burning money forever
>>574371307Why would I mourn that? He's gone, fuck Marathon and fuck Bungie.
Everyone that defended Marathon is to blame for this. Bungie listened to you retards and now they're stuck with a dead game that nobody wants.
>>574374923Reads like a copypasta at this point. I genuinely can't tell whether this is satire or serious.
So if the game becomes 50% PvE modes bringing back at least 50,000 players but has to piss off maybe around 5,000 hardcore PvPers then isn't that a favorable trade?
>>574381852>So if the game becomes 50% PvE modes bringing back at least 50,000 playersit won'tit will just alienate its already small player base while failing to atrract a new one
https://fixupx.com/ziegler_dev/status/2078162822559641797?s=46Finally.
>>574274571got em!
>>574303381the king of twitter vaugeposting has returned and its exhausting
free to play nextboth further limited periods and eventually, foreverthough forever might not be longi really liked the look of all this! but the game doesn't lend itself to just basking and breathing in the setting all that hard. needed to be a lot more like tarkov. roguelike mmo. i hope they can still right the ship. getting rid of ziegler is the very first and most important step so now it's actually possible
>>574358753so all the bungo devs getting fired. and how do people think this game will last another 24 months again?
It's actually more over than ever for you guys. Not even Highguard suffered a death through a thousand humiliations and cuts as Marathon has. EoS at this point would be putting you guys out of your misery.
>>574383638no no no no no let them cook they actually can now fr trust
>>574375849Pve will unironically save the game. Just trust the developers.
this is actually potentially a big deal if snoy wants to keep them on the leash near her lap for another year or so to see if they can pull it offdo-or-die for sure but i think there's a lot to work with
I know I shouldn't but I genuinely feel bad for Bungie. Imagine working there. Half your team is gone and you could be next any day now, alongside the fact your game has failed so miserably and no one likes it.
>>574385968The writing was on the wall ages ago that everything was going to shit. The people huffing their copium sticking with the ship at this point deserve their fate. All the less retarded employees have likely quit or are working at McDonalds by now.
>>574381852>Xhe thinks the Destiny audience wants anything to do with Marathon
>>574386807>xhe thinks the destiny audience is worth catering tooyou niggers did nothing but bitch and whine about your game until it went into maintenance mode at which point you switched to saying it was actually the best game ever made and it's such a horrible shame no one spent money on it (you didn't spend any money on it). why the fuck would anyone want to make a game for people like that?
>>574358753Marty sends his regards.
>>574387004It's making more money than Marathon, even while dead and full price.
>>574387004>picDestiny troons, what the fuck is this?
>>574387304yeah man stores make a lot of money when they're having a going out of business sale, it was objectively dead in the water until they gave up on it
>>574387724Rumor is xhe was originally a Marathon character, not joking.
>>574387785Why did it get over 28 seasons if it didn't make money? Why is Marathon only getting 3?
>>574387857Shut the fuck up chud
>>574387785Marathon had the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck during birth and is being kept on a ventilator suffering its slow death
>>574387943
>>574387857because they could eke out just enough to fund another season until lighttfall hit and they couldn't even do that any more. if it was some super profitable success then why did they shut it down?
>>574388048Because they would never stop retarded spending and give up their new office in Amsterdam that they needed for some reason. Destiny obviously made money, it just couldn't outmake what Bungie was spending on retarded shit and dei hires.
>>574388161>the game was actually super great and successful it was only a consistent financial failure because [HEADCANON]you're right marathon is actually the most successful pvp shooter of all time it only seems bad because bungie is funneling all the money into raid jackets
>>574387004better than making a game for an audience that doesn't exist (Marathon's)
>>574388849yes, marathon is an unappealing game that will die, but destiny was also an unappealing game that died a rightful death. i'm simply tired of you faggots acting like destiny was some underappreciated cult classic when every single one of you did nothing but whine about destiny until it went eos, at least the two thousand remaining marathon players actually like marathon
>>574389002>at least the two thousand remaining marathon players actually like marathonHow do you know this? Did you ask them?
>>574389002D2 lasted 9 yearsTogether with D1 it was 12 yearsMarathon isn't going to last more than 1
pve pivot is step one, now get rid of the hero characters.
>>574389184i'm one of them :)>>574389190wow congrats on the past glory! your game is still dead and will never ever be revived
>>574389237yes please oh my god make the characters freeform
>>574389281I never played destiny but it's really funny you are so bitter
>>574389453you never played marathon either and yet you're in this threadi could be the bitterest motherfucker alive and i would still be more spiritually pure than any chartfag
I see the sweats online are going into nuclear meltdown. Did they really think the game could survive on a single pvp gamemode alone?Like i really love Marathon as is but would i want more modes like a roguelike mode or a classic Bungie firefight? sure why not.
>>574390186I've played it for over a day's worth and I do regret that I actually went and gave Bungie shekels
>>574390606>I see the sweats online are going into nuclear meltdown.So 15 people and their 20 followers?
>>574390186Every time I look at a fanbase made up of majority PvPers I see that fanbase abandon the game six months later. The only reason PvP games stay afloat is the constant stream of teenagers acting like their hot shit among their friend group. Meanwhile the biggest PvE games last nearly a decade or more with loyal fans. I wonder which kind of people Bungie would prefer?
According to Bungie insiders pve was always planned for season 5 and its being brought forwards. Putting the people who were in lead positions on Taken King, Forsaken and Witch Queen in charge makes sense but i do wonder how they keep the pve going outside cryo?Like no shit the Perimeter revamps probably part of that but how do you rework dire marsh into pve unless its just rookless sponsoured survival? which is fine to grind faction mats but still kind of mid too.
>>574375212>Bungie listened to you retardsBungie would not release a dogshit faceless Sentinel and a night reskin, if they listened to me.They would release a big jiggly boob shell, a snow map, and a desert map in S2.
>>574391207>faceless Sentinel >badFuck you. If I'm going to play a mercenary cyborg in the distant future I want a cool visor or faceplate not dick sucking lips and mascara eyes. >wants to play as a sexy shell>in a first person shooterSo you can look down at some nice tits for a few seconds? You wouldn't even be able to enjoy the sexy design.
>>574391543I like Vandal she is cute and nice.
>>574391714But anon, you are Vandal. Look in the mirror.
god i wish i were a woman sisters
>>574387795this, unironically. we dont have the full details, but upper management wanted to "test the waters with design".we may never know due to the NDA's, but with the way people have been leaving, and who those people are, i would be willing to bet that within 2-5 years we would have confirmation on whether or not this rumor is legit (considering all the other shit ive either seen or experienced as a consumer of bungo products, this shit wouldn't be surprising at all)
>>574391856
>>574387857>why is Marathon only getting 3 seasons?chuds are now realizing that the game will make it to the next season. 2 months before its launch in fact. utterly buckbroken
>>574390957evidently not destinyfags since they killed your game to support marathon lmao. like why do you guys keep insisting on some alternate reality where destiny is actually a good game? i like marathon and i can still admit that it's an extremely niche title that will never be profitable for a bungie-sized studio. meanwhile you retards just keep claiming that destiny actually made 10 gorillion dollars an hour when all available evidence shows it was flopping for years
is the game good yet

>>574387795believable when looking at triage's design in the first trailer
>>574394673The la li lu le lo!?
>>574390957>Every time I look at a fanbase made up of majority PvPers I see that fanbase abandon the game six months laterPeople are still playing TF2, Quake 3, CS1.6, and countless other pvp centric multiplayer games. PvP multiplayer offers the most replayability of any video game genre, it is the pve fags that run off to the next new game release like clock work, i dont say this as an insult, it just is what it is. You cant just keep replaying the exact same missions with the same brain dead NPCs for years on end.
>>574393359Destiny 2 isn't the only PvE game to ever exist. Notice I didn't mention it but you list it as your only example. I guess all the other PvE games lasting ten years or more and still going strong don't register in your mind. You also think I'm a destinyfag because you can't handle someone criticising PvP focused games objectively.
>>574395149Technically its three pvp audience:>The unc and/or Poorfag: autistically plays the same game for years if not decades, usually F2P or shareware>The Gun and Ball Gamer: buys every yearly release, plays it for about 2000 hours while getting high on weed then instantly replaces it with the next new one, almost exclusively plays Activision and EA releases>The Gamerdad with 7 kids and 14 attoseconds to play after work: wants to gun and ball but is too old and too tired, plays every new release, buying the most expensive edition, for about 10 hours max then sells it on craigslist or facebook marketplace. Each time telling himself this will be the one he "goes pro in".
>>574395297Marathon going PvE just means it dies in a month or two, it's not going to last 10 years.Marathon's pvp lasted 6 months, Marathon's pve wont last 60 days.
>>574395149>You cant just keep replaying the exact same missions with the same brain dead NPCs for years on endWarframe says hello, Left 4 Dead 2, Vermintide 2, and many more but you didn't know about those games, right?

>>574395402>game with mainly PvP and new PvE modes dies soon after adding themName three non-Bungie games where this happened.
>>574395436Yes anon, I'm aware of your autistic tranny games, now post your steam library and explain all the PvE games you've purchased since those released.

>>574396325Sorry anon, i dont play PvE games. I dont have an aquired taste for it like you clearly do, despite your claims of only playing the same 4 games.
>>574396519>I DON'T BELIEVE YOU THEREFORE I WINI accept your concession.
>>574396738Dont believe what?
I play every new game at launch. I don't care who's the developer, not my problem
>>574397007>despite your claimsThey are not claims. They are the truth.
>>574397204>at launch How about ten months after launch? Do you play the game then?
It's a rape, not a marathon.
cant believe chuds killed this game desu
As much as I enjoyed the game at launch, Joe being replaced as director is the most hopeful news for the long term health of the game than anything else.80% of marathon players were destiny players, and over 80% of players stopped playing marathon by the middle of season 2.Players that weren't into destiny but tried marathon stopped playing, players that liked destiny stopped playing marathon and went back to destiny or finally escaped the live service treadmill hell the industry currently finds itself in.If you want more hardcore extraction you go to tarkov, If you want more casual extraction you go to arc raiders. marathon feels bad most of the time for most players. the hero shooter pvp gameplay style marathon has currently feels good if you are on the team that wipes the lobby and gets to loot the map in peace. every other player on the map has a bad time. is it really surprising to anyone that ziegler is "leaving" after creating a game designed from the ground up to bleed players?The biggest saving grace this game has at this point is sony not wanting to deal with another concord situation. after announcing the death of physical games for the ps6 marathon will continue to be supported if only to inspire consumer confidence that no matter how bad the live service shit they try to push turns out they won't abandon the project.
>>574349382Atleast hire some fightan faggot.I swear, if youre controller survives 1000 hours of fighting games, i will buy a controller and kiss your ass.
>>574403902holy cope
Bullying Vandals
>>574405168he's right tho
>>574403902>Players that weren't into destiny but tried marathon stopped playingNot true, I'm still playing it.
>>574401736>How about ten months after launch? Do you play the game then?Why would I play Pragmata and James Bond 10 months after launch, I played them when they released.And I'm still playing Marathon, because there's nothing better this summer. This fall there will be a new extraction shooter, and I have to go fuck it up
>doing a cheeky 1 key>hear enemy team in cargo>think they're pushing us so we dip out the back entrance>can see down the vent there's a claymore>recon ping because why play anything else>all three are still waiting in cargo>blue shields, must be free kits >see that they're separated and drop grenades down the vent and we kill one while the other two run in>i get downed and it ends up being a 1v1>in the room there are trip lasers and it turns into a tox room>last teammate hiding in a vent>sneaks out when the tox is gone and creeps up on the last enemy>he got knocked from the tox >KEK
>>574403902>80% of marathon players were destiny players, and over 80% of players stopped playing marathon by the middle of season 2.lol what the fuck is this cope?
>>574406097>This fall there will be a new extraction shooter, and I have to go fuck it upGood riddance, you trend chasing parasite.
>>574408950>>574405168Its been reported that most marathon players were also destiny playersnumbers bigger when game launch. numbers small now.you stupid niggers
>>574410451Um actually the numbers are smaller because of the current political climate and the war in iran.
>>574405815I'm going to assume you are a fan of red minigame, makes sense.How is that player number split in destiny between crucible and all the other pve content?I bet its the same as current marathon players vs everyone that tried it and left.
>>574411509>I'm going to assume you are a fan of red minigameI don't know what that is, but since you mentioned crucible, that was good in the first game, because guns mattered more. D2 was focused on abilities, it was boring, compared to the original. >>574409178>trend chasingNo, it's about fresh blood, farming normal players. The next extraction shooter will bleed out too, you gotta play it early to kill the wagies. They're gonna quit, and it's gonna be like Marathon.
>>574390957>Meanwhile the biggest PvE games last nearly a decade or more with loyal fans.yeah that's why helldivers is full of people seething their balls off and jumping to arc desu.also destiny had pvp that served as eternally repeatable content between expansions and updates btw. bungie's internal metrics for destiny 1 even had something like a 50/50 split of exclusive pve or exclusive pvp players with another smaller percentage being omnivores who enjoyed both.
>>574415945>yeah that's why helldivers is full of people seething their balls offEvery online game community is seething it's balls off. I haven't seen any group enjoying their game and saying how good it is.
>>574417371Because we are old. Young people still enjoy gaming because they only see the game, the entertainment and the ingame world. Old people see the game but also everything behind it (company, industry, marketing, capitalism) and it's disgusting.
>>574417921>see the game but also everything behind it (company, industry, marketing, capitalism) and it's disgusting.I'm almost 24 and I don't care at all. Pretty sure I won't care when I'm 34 either, I have money and I like capitalism.
>Bungie was selling children, while developing Marathon>Ziegler was drowning puppies, while developing MarathonI'd still buy and play Marathon, why should I care.
>>574417921I think you're just jaded desu, I'm 34 and I can still enjoy a game without sperging out over le bourgeoisie oppression

No one will have time to look at Marathon
Marathon is a first-person Superhero game. It's pretty stupid to think, that a superhero blockbuster game coming in September, will not hurt Marathon's third season. A lot of PC players are not willing to skip GTA, guess what else they're buying? Yea, the superhero exclusive game.
>>574420293>All I've seen is prerelease doompostingPvPers who play 24/7 and min-max their gear and strategies have filtered out all the normal players, they can't breathe and stopped playing
>>574395051I wonder how they will fit more PoIs into Perimeter. Maybe the map will get expanded?
>>574403902I'm not excited for this game to turn into PvE slop. No Marathon fan is, and I doubt the Destiny dads will play it for very long too.It's over. I loved season 1 and even 2. It's over now...
>>574432729>Keep the extract oriented PvPvE experience.>Make the PvE a solo oriented survival extraction with constantly escalating threats.I think the Vaultbreaker is sort of the first pilot for that attempt. I have nothing against that, especially if it can leverage more out of the setting. The more encroaching issue as a whole is the lack of maps and new content, not necessarily the gameplay.
>>574387004>Normalfaggots think this is better than grimdark hard sci-fi MarakinoFucking baffling, but I guess when you get raped in PVP enough liking some knock off star wars with troons makes a lot more sense
>>574403902kill yourself shithead
>>574387004Destishit is so fucking repulsiveI'm glad Ziegler whipped those retards into making an actually good game, hope he finds a good team to direct his next game
The game is dying because Destroyer has only one premium skin. As soon as his second skin gets added to the store the player count will rise to +70k.Screencap this.
>>574435839Your bait is weak.
>>574383541>roguelike mmoIt's absolutely wild that anyone would want it to be a co-op or multiplayer focused entry, when the strengths of the setting and gameplay both lies in a mixture of survival horror and extraction mechanics. Something that still has been an untapped market to this day. The setting has a unique aesthetic and strong foundation in terms of the gameplay fantasy, it has nothing really stopping it from being something like S.T.A.L.K.E.R in terms of progression and it would still retain a very strong connection to the style of the original IP. Yet at every turn the live service altar demanded a multiplayer focused PvP or 'persistent world' slop, instead of playing to the strengths. Both Ziegler and Barrett fucked up hard.
>>574436362i rarely see destroyers thoughbeitwhich is weird, because he's fucking INSANE with literally every tool you could ever want, besides the ability to rotate vertically
ROOKed into Outpost, no signs of life except a rook and free kit corpse at Flight Control and somebody taking a guarded exfil, found three master cards but Pinwheel wasn't open. How strange.
>>574435839>I'm glad Ziegler whipped those retards into making an actually good gameTRVKE
>>574435839>Destishit is so fucking repulsivePart two is repusive, the first game was good, PCniggers don't know that, of course
Holding your fire in solo runs can lead to some fun situations. I was nading a building that somebody was inside at the start of the round, then killed a purple shield in self-defense (I would've been so fucking dead if not for my LMG shield), then stalked the guy while grinding vector round kills as he was doing Convoy, up until he jumped out from the building right in front of me and ran to final exfil. I'd like to think that he was counting on me being nice and not lighting him up with 90 seconds on the clock, really bold of him to assume that the person who tried to kill him and always seems to be engaging bots not too far away from him isn't a total nigger, but I've made that assumption plenty of times too. Please try to be nice to other people when playing videogames, you never know when somebody may return the favour.
>>574371307Jason Jones was the reason this game was appealing to me. And the guys who were designing the aesthetic vision too, I guess.
>>574438328Destroyer is insane, but he requires a little practice to be good, which filters 90% of people since they want guarenteed results with little effort. It's why Assassin and Recon are always go-to's. I think an actually good skin would bring a lot of people to try him more, much like how the recent Triage skin has renewed interest in him
>>574442075You almost couldn't be more wrong. Destroyer is powerful, i'll give you that
>>574303381Think someone posted leaks about fem destroyer/assassin skins here
>>574442853nah, compared to the other shells? if you're not just apeing at people it takes a decent amount of finesse to use his tools effectively. especially his ability to insta rotate, need map knowledge and gamesense to make that usefulor you could just pick assassin and press buttons. or recon and press buttons. or pick vandal and have a lot of the same utility but without the heat management and with double jumps (which requires minimal knowledge to take advantage of; see high-ground, take high-ground)
LMAO
>>574445859Looking alright! Can't wait for Vault Breaker and season 3. I heard Bungie can do PvE pretty well.
>>574445859>has less players than the first descendant, which has been clowned on by /wfg/ for over a year as being dead shitGenuine inquiry: how did this happen so quickly?
There's fucking eight players on solo Perimeter? I thought it was just five and I could more or less relax after killing two and seeing an exfil....Raid blogpost \/Thought I had the map to myself after killing two runners at North Relay, but some dude was right outside waiting for my coordinate pad. I dropped it, ran to the TAD and got the fuck away after it revealed his purple shield. Thought the other side of the map would be clear but heard somebody running right above me coming from the secluded hut, couldn't get a picture to send him a jumpscare burst so I kept running to Hauler, then heard a door open in the hut (bots don't go there..) and saw somebody hit the guarded exfil below north, which I hitched with them. Solo Perimeter is really fun but there being this many players came as a total surprise to me.
>>574447241>retarded jeets are clowning on x game being deadthis is the case with literally every single game in existence. not surprised
>>574449153The Korean pump-and-dump is not a game you want to go to bat for.
>>574440863This is why I never played D2Bungie missed out on their chance at making me a fan by not having a PC version of D1, even though I always wanted to give that a try
>>574447241It's free, while Marathon is $40Although I haven't played it, knowing it's a Korean game it probably has a shit ton of pointless grind for people to dump hours into compared to Marathon where the objective amount of content for you to go through is rather limitedI think also by virtue of it being a game made by asians, it naturally appeals much more to asians who seem much more dedicated to games in the long run, especially grindy ones, than westerners who typically can bounce off stuff fairly quickly in comparisonFinally, even though it's an asian UE5 game so probably doubly bad on performance, don't forget that Asia has a big internet cafe culture, giving even the poorest of poorfags the ability to play high fidelity demanding games easily
Fucking love the Drrvish, such an awesome little gun
>>574447531The amount of players on a map isn't always fixed. In solo there is a specific range of players in all four maps/variants and even in trios there's chances that some dude might have accidentally queued in as a Solo, which further stirs the pot. You can always continue to assume the map is populated until you've got anywhere between 4-5 eliminations and after that there might still be a stray or two. There's also no way of knowing how many people have died in some corner in a firefight, so if you hear one exfil, you might have someone who killed two dudes and took the exfil, further making it feel like the map only has only a few players around. In stuff like Outpost, it's much easier to keep track as exfils are sparse and people are funneled into the kill circle in Pinwheel.

>>574420293realistically more layoffs are coming at bungo and then the game will go into maintenance mode. hopefully the pve mode will bring back players and we'll have 30k concurrent at all times because normies will buy this and play this instead of gta whenever that comes out

I love Marathon and love playing it but it feels like I am taking crazy pills when many people apparently hate it. It makes me wonder "well why don't I hate it?" and I just can't fathom why someone would. The closest I could get to understanding is someone saying the game rapes you after you have already been raped at work all day in real life which is why not many play it. Then I look at GACHAshit like genshin impact and it is apparently doing numbers and I am like why? That game rapes real money out of you beyond just paying for the game itself. I guess I just don't understand the minds of most gamers. What happened to me in real life has no impact on what game I choose to play later on after work. A big point many seem to make is "I get shit on at work all day. Don't want to come home and get more shit on." And that thought is applied to any competitive game.
>>574480967I kinda hate it. The game is 80% getting stomped, 15% getting out alive, and 5% scoring big. That 20ish-percent isn't satisfying enough for me to make the other 80% worth enduring. My personal pet peeve is taking a shiny new gun out with some cool mods and getting sniped right away before I even have a chance to try it out.Would like if we had customizable runners and could loot character pieces that become ours and stay ours as long as we exfil with them, kind of like codex entries. A little sense of ownership of the stuff we get would help out, I think
>>574489350I think people tend to see it the wrong way. The loot you find isn't even your loot so to speak if you think about it. once you start treating loot as a means to an end I guess, gear fear kind of goes away. It also helps that most guns in function feel the same across all rarities. Its just your mag gets bigger or some recoil gets removed etc. Also, being stomped is a part of most multiplayer games I'd say. There isn't a match maker great enough that would ever prevent stomps. Even games with massive player bases have this issue.
Just got rushed down by a 330 plat 2 two minutes after the round started in Cryo. How the actual fuck is that even possible? Hope that nigger kills himself
just got jumped by a destroyer in the open because my brain registered a quickly moving glowing rectangle as a grenadier hauling ass for some reason instead of realizing it was an enemy runner rapidly approaching
>>574453740scorned destiny players calling other games woke as if they don't play a game with gay robots and black woman space wizards
>>574494330>How the actual fuck is that even possible?Unironically luck. In every cryo spawn there's a chance to get extra security monitors which can push you to security clearance level 2. It's common practice now in trios to have one guy run ahead of the pair to scout if they have a lucky spawn while the other two focus on searching for a loose tag + killing the 2 guarenteed commanders. If you get lucky, then you pull an early spawn invade or just rush to revival to get the security monitors on the top floor and get close to an early level 3 clearance, which means getting panopticon monitors to get to 4.It's annoying as fuck because no joke 90% of how well/poorly you do in a cryo run outside of actual combat is just luck. If you get a shit spawn where you have only 1 monitor and no loose tags it means being forced to scrounge for 3 in control, which can take anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes depending entirely on if loose tags spawn. This whole time you have to deal with the fact you basically have no where to go and that a team that got lucky with clearance can just push onto you and there's basically nothing you can do. Even if a team doesn't fuck you, too long in control usually means that all other monitors on the map are taken by the time you hit level 2, which means you're locked out from getting to level 4 or 5 which is bad fucking luck if you took a vault 6 key or DNA access card.
>everyone complaining about getting sniped out of the blue since launchHow come this has almost never happened to me in the ~400 hours I've spent on this game? The one singular run where it happened was just a rook run on outpost where I was already outnumbered. Is it that hard to look out for yellow lens flares? Am I just insanely lucky?
>launched off the map by an assault bot after looting all of pinwheel base
>>574496325I thought it was only marsh fog + thermal scoped snipers that made people mald. I haven't seen much complaining since S2
>>574496964It was just mentioned by >>574489350 so I thought it was still a gripe people had with the game.
>>574480967>It makes me wonder "well why don't I hate it?"Because you have shit taste. There. Not hard to solve.
>>574496325Well I've done it to other runners a lot, but haven't received it much myself.
>>574445408Quite literally this. It's the same reason why a shell like Sentinel is considered "not good" by most people, since you can't really just throw his shit out and turn your brain off, you have to make intentional decisions for when and where to deploy your shit and time using your radar so it's actually useful. You can fuck up massively playing him if you don't use his abilities or misuse them. Triage rides the border since although half his kit is basically automatic, you still have to at least think about when and where it's appropriate to use your prime. If you take volt weapons you have to think about when to activate your trait for the EMP boost (save for clearing bots or use to fight nearby players etc). You have to consider that every time you throw a bot you could be giving away your position and that it makes you and your team easier to detect. Again, a shell that can fuck up massively if the player is on auto pilot and not thinking. Thief you need to practice using her grapple a lot otherwise you WILL get yourself killed with it doing some dumb shit, and you only get value out of her by proactively using the rest of her kit in smart or creative ways (still hate her personally but I can concede that a retard can't just use her without any hiccup).Meanwhile Recon and Assassin require so little thought and have such little room for error that you really can't "fuck up" with them. Even if you don't get a lot of value out using their ability at a wrong time, it STILL helps whoever is playing them massively with such little effort that it's impossible for a person to pilot the shell wrong.
>>574498752How strong is sentinel shell realistically? Its my preferred shell but having only 1 mine base level is meh. I like that he is a bit of a stat monster in the melee and hardware / firewall department though.
>Joseph Cross had nothing to say about Joe Zeigler leavingTelling
>>574480967When Marathon becomes 50% PvE will you still love it even if PvP starts having even longer queue times and the only people left playing PvP are high level players?
>>574501673I've been maining him for most of the season and I think he's great. Sentinel is definitely not as strong as destroyer/recon/vandal are, but I personally think his radar and snares make him a great team asset since no one can 1v3 as well as he can or lock down chokepoints in coordinated play as good as him. His prime is extremely useful in ranked and cryo, though with the new changes I think it will greatly effect people picking up.>Its my preferred shell but having only 1 mine base level is mehTry to speed level the sekiguchi capstones ASAP. Once I got access to the VIP upgrades and could now buy the purple cores for him, I haven't played a single game of him without Bandolier (the one that lets you have a second snare mine). Borderline mandatory to make him work, much like how Mechanised Holster or Flexweave Casing is for Vandal/Assassin.>I like that he is a bit of a stat monster in the melee and hardware / firewall department though.His stat allocation is easily his biggest strength. Having a somewhat high firewall/hardware means you don't have to spec into resistance with him in the cradle which opens up specc'ing into support instead so he can make for a good team rezzer for after he 1v3's or if he needs to rez someone mid-fight (which he can do effectively too cause of the radar and using a snare to stop someone rushing you). Lots of the armoury implants have options for bumping up your tac recovery and melee, which are basically the only two stats you want to try and max with him, meaning you can build him in a very flexible way too compared to destroyer or recon.I'd say he's a solid pick that can cover most gaps in a team comp, great for fill queue and he's a great solo shell also. Lots of enemy teams don't expect a sentinel too so it's easy to catch people off guard with his tricks.
>574501673I find that you need your team to play around him. Sentinel can turn any room or building into a slaughter house and the longer the fight lasts the more ridiculous it gets. Obviously you benefit from short range weapons, the the defender system makes LMGs pretty ridiculous with its accuracy and stability buffs. I think you really want to run something like a sniper rifle with him. The whole point of this character is to create space, fight at a distance and then punish them when they get close.If you’re playing with people who want to always dive at the first opportunity, you’re going to have a bad time. For this reason he likes slow shells like triage, recon, assassin, and other sentinels.Best thing your team can do is just say in the bunker you built and not push out until it’s a 3 - 1 advantage. If the enemy doesn’t want to push you, that’s fine. I can’t count the number of times my team sat comfortably in our improvised rape shack as we listened to the sounds of the enemy team getting 3rd partied only for us to then finish off the survivors.Also keep in mind that it might feel like you’re not doing much when people aren’t springing your traps. That’s incorrect mindset, the whole point of the traps is to keep people from entering or occupying that space you’re in>574503035Anon, I’m not going to play the exact same maps again for yet another season.

>>574508498Don't call him bad, he's gonna be my wife and we'll increase her exfil rate
>>574480967combination of the hate brigading from destiny fags and the ONLY fun part of the game being pvp. the uesc are genuinely so boring to fight because they are not like covenant or arc where the way you engage with them is pretty different from enemy to enemy. instead, you mostly just rail into them with an automatic weapon till they explode and then pick up some gray loot. if you're a pve dad, you are not gonna be satisfied with basically any pve enemy on offer aside from compiler, and he's locked behind a bunch of cryo runs on top of getting keys.the funnest map in the game is cryo, but it's such an aggressive pvp map that plays way different compared to every other map in the game. on every other map you can kinda get away with playing stealth and avoiding everyone (although EVERYTHING in the game makes a fuckton of noise to encourage pvp so it's hard to even do that), but on cryo the meta is to clear the map. it's not even like "oh you can if you want to" no, you NEED to clear the map. if someone hasn't been regularly getting into pvp or playing with a stack that pvps, it's basically a learning cliff where you either realize that "oh, i need to rush out my spawn and kill the other runners" or you quit and piss yourself on plebbit or 4chan about how everyone sucks.>>574489350unironically it's just how your brain works. gambling addicts have a brain structure where the highest highs do not outweigh the lowest lows, but other people aren't like that. a big enough loss and you call it quits because it doesn't feel good getting dicked.that said, don't be so discouraged friend. the "bring shiny gun and get fucked from a random act of God" is a universal experience. take some solace in that the sting happens from time to time, but it gradually dulls when your vault is full of said shiny guns with nice mods.i agree on customizable runners tho. i fucking hate the hero shooter shit in this game more than anything.
>>574508981You're gonna get dicked and take it like a good boy
>>574509283sorry that's a privilege for my boyfriend or girlfriend only. i can murder you and take your cryo keys though.
Erm...
>>574508981I don't think there can be any enemy in a FPS like this that would be "fun to fight". People say shit like, WOW wouldn't it be great if the USEC hunted you down and tried to flank you and tried to push an advantage when they have your shields broken etc!? But what those people literally describe is what real players do. People don't understand that real players literally play how they want the AI to play but will complain about real players playing sweatily. So people want sweaty AI but not sweaty players. It seems weird.
>>574506952That's not me desu, you'll never catch me saying I hate Marathon. Also I don't need help from a bronze clip-let, especially an NA player.
>>574509757You're single, there's no one to save you from me
>>574511072I was bronze last month, I stopped at platinum
I don't know which one I like more, the polite Vandal bitch >>574509757Or the third worlder who likes the game, and is good at sucking >>574511072Early season 1 defeatslut was the best tho, she was so funny
>>574511026unironically the arcs in arc raiders. say what you will about it but the arc in that game are fun enough from a pve standpoint to get into altercations with. a rocketeer is a hazard from the first moment you play to the point you're snaphooking around the map hunting teams. the average pvp player probably doesn't deal with it, might not even find it all that hard, but the average person who has to aim for the turbines, dodge the missiles, it's a fun enough pve enemy that farming it for your friends or for money is fun. it's also very dynamic and reacts to the stuff you do to it. focus on a turbine? it starts veering in one direction. throw an emp at it? it falls and you can beat it to death. snaphook to the top of it? it'll try to spin and drop you.meanwhile, the rocketeer in marathon is just a big floating rectangular prism with a couple weak points. it reacts in no real perceptible way regardless of what you do to it. it's not fun for pve players because it doesn't do anything interesting. it's not fun for pvp players because it's not an engaging hazard. i don't think i want the uesc to hunt me down and flank me, i'd just like it if there was more to them than "shoot them in the head and they explode". especially given how loud it is to fight anything, they should at least be a little fun to fight.>>574511449*loud incorrect buzzer*
>>574511026I t hink that PvE players would love PvP if the only matched with people they could beat. PvE is the cope mode for shitters. The next best thing is PvP like something out of Mario Kart, where the worst players can catch up and win through being given absurd power ups.
>>574511026AI NPCs are designed with the intention that you'll very likely win fighting them, though perhaps there is the chance you lose if you're not careful or get into a bad situation. There's nothing like that playing against another player, it's largely just up to who's the better playerWhen people say they want smart AI, what they mean is they want dynamic, reactive AI. It's boring if enemies don't do much beyond standing still or rushing you. They want something that feels organic like you're not just shooting stupid NPCs. They want them to try and take a path that isn't just directly running at the player, they want them to think that you're at your last spot if you sneak around from them (and that they won't actually anticipate you rotating). They want different enemy types that react differently to how you approach them, etc
>>574512030?
S3 will be just like S2, a nothingburger. Game should've gotten fully new content. Not modes, new maps. Nothing matters as much as new maps

How many skins does Destroyer have again?
Think I'm finally gonna pack it up on this game. Of the friends I have who purchased the game (about 9 total) only 1 still plays, and the discord I joined didn't respond to me offering cryo key runs for 30 minutes.Sucks that we'll probably never have a well polished game in this genre, especially after this shit. Maybe time to check out Tarkov again since 1.0 launched. Hopefully it's less jank and design bloated. Balancing this game around trios might be the most retarded design choice I've seen.
>>574480967A lot of people cant handle loss and dont know how to sepf evaluate and improve. My friend geoup I played with fpr twenty years have all retired into single player games saying that>i don't have time to compete with kids and unemployed>everyones a sweat>nobody cares if youre good online so why play online>i want to relax ive been at work>games are gay now, real skill was in [old game I was also shit at]I'm about in the middle of this group age wise but I've always thrived online, so marathon being rough for a solo crew fill late to the party guy is what keeps it entertaining. If I was paying to win or raping AI Id be bored shitless. Competition doesnt stop me relaxing. People are weak. I have a job and a baby and I will still throw on some game 3 years too late and strive to shit on people off the back foot.
>>574515279>Balancing this game around trios might be the most retarded design choice I've seen.but Apex did it!

>>574515819I'm not american. Im up early posting after a morning sprint session.
>>574516504I find RTS games boring to look at and unsatisfying. I like to annihilate my opponents personally and in some detail. Fighting games ate my favourite genre however they all seem to have mechanics added to appeal to these same people who vant handle defeat, self analysis or pressure. I play Virtua Fighter sets regularly enough when the right people are online and up for it.

Stayed up all night playing the game, but now it's EU morning and the game's gonna be dead for the next couple of hours. Le sigh.
>>574521053The minecraft generation grew up. PvP is still popular but there's a swathe of new blood in gaming that didn't have their gaming experiences exposed to a lot of friction. It's not uncommon to hear people say "toxic pvp" unironically, whatever the fuck that means.

>>574511026>But what those people literally describe is what real players do.Well, yeah. I understand that. I even want UESC runner NPCs to be enemies in the game.
>>574512394>When people say they want smart AI, what they mean is they want dynamic, reactive AIThis. I like it when the bots dodge. I wish they also took cover, or even somehow cooperated with each other. Like if assault troopers, instead of just shooting, could put up a shield and brace themselves to block a doorway or a corridor, cornering you.
>>574518307Imagine if instead of having random guns, you could choose what you'll get as Rook.>But everyone will always pick V11 over the CENot my problem. Figure out how to make the CE more competitive, then.

I really like the darksight scopes because of how wide their fields of vision are. I just wish they didn't glint even if you have it turned off. Also the sniper one is useless because it doesn't even let you see that far.
>several keys waiting to be used>10 Misriahs sitting in the armory >vault perpetually fullDrowning in my own success.
Why are people generally against "hero characters" in games it seems? I personally don't mind them because it allows for deeper skill expression in a game. Its why I actually liked the Champions in Quake Champions even though people said Champions ruined the game. To me, it allowed deeper skill expression. Maybe that isn't always the case. What do you think? Like its cool to see a really skillful vandal player or a really skilled sentinel player etc.
>>574554531Think ot depends on the game. In a 64 player a side war game Iwant to be a mook though.
>>574554531I'm fine with heroes when they are done well. I'd even argue that they are executed well in Marathon. But having premade, completely inflexible heroes instead of customizable shells, both in appearance and ability/perk set is a gratuitous misuse of the setting. Imagine all the free advertisement from people posting their shells. A store of clothes, armor, body attachments, and voice packs.
>>574554531I think it's the assumption that we would have had customizable shells instead. Which is funny to me, because you just know everyone would be complaining about the meta build if that was the case. Imagine a version of this game that's like>Prime: Echo Pulse>Tactical: Active Camo>Trait 1: X-Ray Visor>Trait 2: Microjets
>>574556269>Have Echo Pulse, Active Camo, and X-Ray visor be mutually exclusive headgear (that stupid doorstop on the back of Assassin's head)>Smoke disks are a wrist slot or something>There is a dedicated drone slotThere you go.
>>574241029Bungie has never left the state of being a 10 core dudes in a rented office.The money from the Halo Trilogy just let them paper over the cracks until it was too late.
It pisses me off that Vandal's physics clothes are shown on thermal scopes, even when she is an ally.
>>574556232I honestly think it'd be a good thing for them to look into by splitting up skins into components and color palettes in the future if Marathon manages a turn around. More granular control over how each shell archetype looks would actually add a lot to the game. In a genre where so much is ephemeral and left up to chance, having permanent unlocks that let you have your choice on how you want to look gives a much stronger sense of achievement and permanent progress. Full skins just don't give off nearly as much a sense of it being your own, because even though you may like it, it's not *your* look. I think feeling like you have the ability to express yourself through how you present yourself gives a lot more attachment to a gameThe lack of it also kind of feels at odds with the worldbuilding, because you get the impression that runners are kind of eccentric people, all the different vandal looks in the cinematic trailer certainly lends to that idea. With them being disembodied consciousnesses, you'd think they of all 'people' would want to be able to express themselves in their only physical connection to the real world >>574556269I wouldn't be surprised if classes were always planned, just that Zogler made them heroes with set looks
>>574556232I get what you mean but that will always be balancing hell. Also, certain abilities and such would probably need to make the shell look a certain way so enemy players would know what you are packing. It would be too jarring if you have a shell that looks like thief suddenly pull a barricade shield out in an engagement. So I see why they design the shells the way they did. I also like that you sort of customize your shell to function in a certain way if you want. Like you can definitely be a destroyer when maxxed stamina and endurance upgrades and implants etc. Or you can fuck around with cooldown reduction and frequent use of search and destroy or barricade shield shenanigans.
How could Marathon be recut into a single-player campaign?Besides adding classic aliens, smarter bots and NPC runner opponents?
>>574554531Asymmetry leading to unfun unfair situations (this is already one of the most asymmetrical genres ever).>>574556232Being able to quickly identify somebody's entire potential moveset at a glance is nice, I think that fights would be more frustrating if you had to discern somebody's abilities by looking at each of their individual shell "modules"
>>574559230Not sure it'd be worth the resources to invest into develop it and they definitely should not make new maps for itYou can get at the very least 2 missions out of every map in the game right now. Cut them up with some barriers to funnel the player in a semi linear fashion. Add in some voice over from any of the faction AIs here and there, objectives to do in an area, some scripted fight sequences and bosses, etc. It wouldn't be anything extraordinary or ground breaking, but enough to at least make more of an engaging, narrative experience that hopefully gives people enough of a taste and introduction to the game's systems to draw them into extraction mode, whether that be PvPvE or PvE only
>>574559979>Being able to quickly identify somebody's entire potential moveset at a glance is niceI agree, but sacrificing customization just because of this is stupid. Like I mentioned here >>574556791, abilities could be bound to equipment. And you could also have a "scan mode" build into every shell that could identify another runner's abilities by looking at them (unless they have a signal jammer active).
>>574560575Rerecord some rambling garbage and pretend it's a time-line hopping camapign like Infinity.Have you fight an NPC shell with your last run's loadout.

I actually hate playing this game so much now. Pure misery. Full mute team of fills until we're killed by what's obviously a more coordinated 3 stack. I don't want to do it anymore. I'm so tired of hero shooter mechanics. I'm tired of running around from POI to POI when none of them are worth looting unless you're dead broke, and by then you're not even capable of fighting other players. The gameplay loop is so fucking bad. The gunplay is fucking bad. This whole game is just utter trash now.
>>574594868Argentina lost so we're great
>>574556269Kits and classes are stupid and the game should have relied on equipment to achieve the things the shells do naturally. Tarkov makes you bring everything with you if you want to fill a niche, this game lets you do anything you want as long as you pick the right shell. I also hate that I can't dress up my shell the way I actually want and have to play these fucking moid shells that also happen to have my favorite ability sets.
>>574539067This game would be even more fucking doomed than it already is if it had any more Destiny weapons in it. Destiny handcannons and peak spam would be so fucking miserable to deal with.

>>574641048I'm still of the opinion that Traxus should have some kind of branching upgrade path/tree that lets you choose to have some weapons available in the armoury but locks out other choices for the rest of the season, either in the form of>AThere's 4 or 5 paths that have pre-set weapon choices and you lock yourself into a path for that season>BEvery 5 ranks in Traxus you get access to a row of 3 nodes which each has a weapon.

>>574661905it looks like exactly what I pictured but I'm still pretty disappointed. The only reason I'm going to play this is because I've never even bothered trying cryo yet and I just want to see the cool visual design of it.

>>574679217I simply want a game like GTFO but it isn't annoying gameplay where you're trying to conserve ammo, sneak around as four people, and sit at choke points mag dumping into giant mutants that do nothing but grapple then rape me. Is that too much to ask?
>marachuds have to beg and plead with pveGODS to save their dying gamelmao look who comes crawling back. what happened to all that huffing and puffing about marathon being for pvp freaks only?
>Let's a turn a game with really shitty PVE and two enemy types into a PVE game in 2 months>It's the same game everyone hates from the company infamous for sunsetting paid contentI see this going very well for Bungie. Many blasts will be had.
>>574682373It'll be better if they add new enemies next season.
>>574682583It took Bungie 10 years to reskin some psions in Destiny, I don't see new enemies happening anytime soon. There isn't even a new map for next season.
>>574682718But they've added 4 this season. Rocket drone, husk, reverb, and the upper complex warden.
>>574682910All you stated were reskins of destiny enemies
>>574683181List them.
>>574683181>reskins of Destiny enemiesFromsoft does the same thing every game and no one gives a fuck. I never played Destiny 2 so why would I care if repurpose AI behavior assets from that game?
>>574682373they're doing this instead of tweaking some numbers for solo queue. can't wait to spit on bungie's corpse
>>574683732They have 400 people working on this game, they can do both. Meaning that they aren't doing a PvE mode instead of fixing solo, they are just not fixing solo.
>>574684164after looking into it a bit more I now understand that the purpose of this mode is to bait people into the cryo crew fill meatgrinder
>>574683732>>574684164>tweaking some numbers on solo queueWow because let's see, 80k players, are gonna come back for "we tweaked solo mode enjoy :^)" and over an entirely new PvE game mode.>>574684373>purpose of this mode is to bait people into the cryo crew fill meatgrinderOr they're gonna pivot to PvE in Season 3 like they officially announced and wanna test the waters.
>>574685371you think 80k players are coming back for pve? objectively speaking, do you think more or less players would come back if they did their pve thing and also improved solo queue?
>>574657967I'm glad someone else feels the same way. She's just so annoyingly decent at everything.
>>574685621Just because you want to dick around in PvP solo queue doesn't mean PvE is less popular among the playerbase. Do you really think 95,000 people dropped this game solely because solo queue is lackluster?
>>574686336115,000 people will be returning for pve mode. it will be amazing
>>574686503More people will come for PvE, than if they "fixed" PvP solo queue. Whatever "fixed" means. I don't need to post numbers because that's impossible to predict.
>>574686839130,000 pve players. the engoodening of marathon is upon us!
>finally, a pve mode!
>People think that Cryo Archive with no other players is going to increase the player countBlastfaggots are so strange
>>574689035It's 100% going to increase the player count though. Likely not that much, or not for long, due to it being an LTM, but still.
>>574689035Prob not but I've never been in cryo, never had a crew fill that was anything beyond a blue shield (RARE) let alone worth challenging other premades with. This shitter mode will be my first cryo experience.
>>574689252I predict around 10k day 1 then it drops every day afterwards per usual
>>574688169Feel free to abandon Marathon for your next PvP dopamine fix game, shitposter.
>>574639970>why we gotta pay these steep-ass credit prices?i don't think they're going to budge on this unfortunately and i wish they would. why the fuck is a self rez 2000 credits when they blow dick now and you have to completely get ignored to get up
>>574691008You should be extracting with grey and green guns then selling them regularly.
>>574690937why do people who play dead games always say this shit lmao. "if you don't like it then leave" lil gup everybody already did
I'm excited for MW4 DMZ to be a massive success as Marathon pivots to generic PVE slop with no audience.

>>574690937you think this saves the game? prepare for the pvp experience to be constantly watered down for the pve faggots. that's the point of the post, retard-kun. you dumb faggots are sitting here cheering the game is saved not realizing that the game we bought is vanishing before your very eyes.if i wanted to hang out with destitroons i would play their shitty, dead game. turning an actual good game into a copy of a shitty, dead one isn't Saving the Game.
>>574611450people who live in a glass house etc etc, but hearing that this dude dropped ARC raiders is peculiar.

>>574691165selling guns? i have to exfil four conquest lmgs or two m77s to buy a self rez then. are you on crack?
Hum hum i think i will make some store purchases to support the game
>>574694331i bought two hundred bucks in lux to support their endeavors because i play this shit every day
>>574694331i should buy the yokai's arsenal pack the knife and mizzy skin are really nice
>>574692412>realizing that the game we bought is vanishing before your very eyesI see 100,000 people dropped the game before it started "vanishing" so it can't get any worse.
>>574694331I'm still waiting for the white rabbit vandal.
>>574694301Maybe, just maybe, Solo Play is worthless to Bungie and complaining about it now is pointless. They are making Solo play as miserable as possible to bait you into Trio fill. Self Rez is as worthless as a mercy kit.
>>574692412Destiny 2 isn't dead, anyone can play it right now. There has been no announcement the servers are being shut down. If Bungie wanted the Destiny audience to play Marathon they wouldn't keep the Destiny 2 servers running.
>>574692412Based. Marathon has brought me a billion times more satisfaction than Destiny has in the last miserable 3 years of its life. They suddenly act like everything was utter perfection before Marathon showed up, as if they haven't been doomposting every fucking day before that and acting like Lightfall, Edge of Fate or Renegades never happened. They are the epitome of goycattle.
>>574695184why'd you reply to me about solos? i didn't mention solos... did i not notice that you mentioned solos?i play crew fill or with ingame friends/discord users or with my irl/online good friends far more than i play solos. i only use solos to get greedy running keys
>>574696763If you only play trios why the fuck do you care about having a Self Rez prices? Are your teammates so shit you can't rely on them to rez you? This reply chain started with complaining about the prices of Self Rez kits.
>>574688169>Replace slop with "Crossover armors and weapons" and that's what happened to Destiny for me. >Eververse just kept adding crossover armor sets>It's okay. It's just cosmetic >They add Witcher themed dungeon >It's okay. It's just a dungeon. >They add a Star Wars expansion >It's o- oh, the game is dead. Now PvE Cyro is a joke. They needed to add more meaningful content for casuals but decided to gut the end game experience. Working towards Cyro was the whole reason I grinded season one. Now, casuals will just meet Compiler and get the goo gun for free.
>>574694098you should add them before they get away.
>>574696651>Destiny 2 should've been shelved three-fours years ago>Destiny 2 always suckedThese are not the same statement. If they ended Destiny 2 on a high note then made Marathon people wouldn't complain as much but instead they dragged out Destiny 2 for years making it worse and worse then threw up their arms and said fuck it.
>>574699853It should've ended with the final shape. That was their high note, the perfect exit point for thousands of players but as usual they couldn't just fucking leave it there.
>>574699742>REEEE PEOPLE GET TO TO DO THINGS IN A GAME I HAD TO GRIND FOR!If you actually care about this, you're a joke, anon. Using your epic gamer skills you honed by playing a game that isn't even that hard is nothing to be proud of and trying to lord it over the "casuals" is pathetic.
>>574700794I agree. Destiny 2 is worse now than it was when Final Shape released. That said, Destiny 2 servers are still up for the rest of this year. If people wanna stick their head in the Destiny 2 pig trough Bungie has it ready. Marathon can't possibly be tempting to Destinyfags if that's the case.
>>574701259>Marathon can't possibly be tempting to DestinyfagsThat's the unfortunate truth. Nothing but Destiny is appealing to them. Certainly nothing as challenging as Marathon. I'd rather see this game die than turn into enshittified PvE slop that alienates everyone but either way I'm glad I was around for season 1 and even season 2. I will remember it very, very fondly.
>>574691734release date?
>>574694504the trolling in this general is so bad i dont know if this is true or just a troll comment. every supportive comment reads either way at this point
>vaultbreaker>grind the same content to unlock upgrades to better stat-check the same contentbungie is saved
the subr*ddit is now reduced to debating the number of likes the cryobreakers official tweet got, I've never seen a game die so slowly
I'm hoping at least we'll get some crumbs of lore from Vaultbreaker. Some kind of new development with Durandal would be nice, since for all intent purposes he just seemed to have fucked off after we kill Compiler and assemble his subroutines. I'd honestly be content with just a commlink interruption from Orion again telling us to kill ourselves and fuck off once he realises we can slip in at any time like the blog seemed to implyLiterally just anything please I'm desperate for more story and lore
>>574707873This game won't even break 5k today and you're worried about the shitty lore KEK
>>574708128>why dont you care about the goyim number saar?
>>574708128Mostly cause I actually play the game instead of jerking myself off in the thread watching steam charts. Why don't you just download some f2p gacha that steals your personal data or something? it's probably a lot more fun than staring at a line graph desu and it's free so third worlders like yourself can play it
>>574708804>>574708827This is a chartchad general, sorry
>>574709402This "more niggers = better" mindset is inherently shitlib/indian-coded so I'm not sure about the chad part
>>574705798I knew the game would fail but it failed so much faster than I thought it would. Bungie cooked.
>>574702825how about this screencap of owned skins? does this convince you
>>574710127very based
>bro spent money on the color red
>>574709550Look at the top 10 most played steam games right now and tell me they arent almost 1:1 the best games in the world right now
>>574710263I agree, Bongo Cat is PEAK
>>574710183thanks i really like the vandal skin it's a shame i never use her because i don't slide much (input is really hard on my shitty laptop keyboard)
So glad this dogshit game is dying. Bungie deserves everything that's lead to this moment. Fuck them for fumbling so Goddamn hard.
when is Bharat.AI getting new script? this one above is already getting old
Kiss it goodbye, /mg/.It will probably still be pretty strong.
>>574711278warlock main?
>>574711634Seeing as Bungie thought they nerfed the Mizzy and that the D54 was in anyway balanced at all on release I doubt they'll manage to bring it in line. It'll either be as dogshit as the CE was in S1 or nothing will have changed at all. Same for the Mizzy.>>574711756I don't play Shitstiny
>>574711829oh. it's Shitstainy btw
>>574711634It will still be pretty good all things considered. Even with the precision multiplier change it will kill faster than a Bully or Copperhead, and so long as it's purchaseable from the armoury for a measly 400 creds it won't stop being a menace. I'm praying the mizzy get's absolutely gutted but with the WSTR buffs and equipment changes not really affecting the bubble AIDS that is cryo I don't even know if it matters at this point
>>574705193
>>574711634All it needs is a ranged nerf and maybe 20% ROF nerf
>>574713274WE BEAT GRAY ZONELET'S FUCKING GO
>>574710443>laptop keyboardOCE bussy plays on laptop, beyond gay
This is where the money is
Anyone want to buy my collector's edition when they shut down the game?
>>574714040343 won.
Is the PVE Cryo going to have the level 25 requirement?
>>574715057I can't really imagine why it would. Only reason the cap exists is to stop new players bumping into vets, filter out fresh hacker accounts and to stop the loot economy from being fucked, but none of those things would matter for vaultbreaker since it's pve and you can't exfil with anything
>>574621163>>574628941Hey big bro want to play some Marathon?
>>574713274>Marathon, some extraction shooters, and a whole bunch of random games (what the fuck is Sand?)
>>574713274Delta Force is the one whose numbers truly baffle me, the gameplay looks like its all over the place. Just looks like Battlefield but also is an ES?
>>574713274The script now includes Sandian Raiders?
>>574716321That a trick question? Nobody wants to play Marathon after f2p was finished
>>574714235Ill trade you a psvr2 for it
>>574713274>the ducky game had more players than us It's never been so over
>>574707873What would you say are the most crucial parts of the codex one should read/start with?i don't wanna read stuff like that one dude who got a flower from a bot and misses he grandpa. that shit is gayyy
>>574694924i wanna impregnant vandal & thief in their snow bunny outfits so fucking bad nowSNOWBUNNY MINDCONTROL
>>574707873>Literally just anything please I'm desperate for more story and loreThere won't be any story content, until the final season(season three)>>574715057>Is the PVE Cryo going tobe very boring? Yes, you will get bored fast, there's nothing to do in this game without other runners
>>574694924gorillaz core
No sales, no new map, no lore, no players
>>574721793you forgot >no bitches>no hair
no zieglerno buy
>>574723072I have hair and money
>>574718614nta but I'd say you're better off getting familiar with the story and lore of the original trilogy and Pathways into Darkness, it'll help contextualize a lot of the concepts and ideas and give you more of a strong basis as to which to compare any codex entries you read to instead of kind of shooting into the dark without much of a basis
>campers and tryhards would rather let the game die, than support a PvE modeYes, you have to be exposed to my niggerism,I want the PvE mode to fail
>>574691734>I'm excited for MW4 DMZ>>574692256>I enjoyed the last dmz,>>574702636>release date?Oct 23rd, be there, I'll be posting cat and everything on /codg/. With wolverine discs and GTA6 boxes
Marathon was better than Arc, with better combat gameplay.But not, Marathon is doing stupid PvE shit, while Arc still ignores it.So I downloaded Arc and deleted Marathon
No PvEFuck PvEKill yourselves remaining trannyniggers at Bungie
>>574718614Every codex entry is kind of important since each one paints the full picture of a whole story. The flower one is supposed to demonstrate how fucked life as a colonist was (sorry your grandpa died lol here's a flower) but also show evidence as to how Joy (the AI) got into the rampant state she's in since she wasn't able to actually do her primary function which was to make people happy and mentally well. Even when she went out of her way to do something 'good', it still wasn't enough for her to fix anything, so even before shit was fucked you can see that she was already on a fast track to going rampant.If you really want to skimp out though I'd say most of the faction codex entries for priority contracts are bare minimum mandatory reading, as well as anything that gives info on the actual factions themselves (CyAc Outreach, Proprietary Assets, Truthworm.exe, Arachne Doctrine, limited time contracts etc.) Beyond that my personal recommendations would be>Anything related to the Marathon ship (means basically every Cryo valuable)>Anything involving Orion, Admiral Sulera or Davic Reed (MIDA priority contracts, Traxus priority contracts, UESC Outreach, Davic Reed Personal logs, Shared Nightmare Reports, Expedition Manifest)>Anything related to the colony or ship AI and subroutines (Bernard Strauss AI book, Bernard Strauss Journal, Cerebral Records, Emotional Support Plush, Corrupt AI log, Shared Nightmare Report, PSA recordings, Encrypted Communique, UESC Marathon model, Ulysses Pike logs, Unknown Reveries)Not everything that's related to those topics is listed and there's still lots more to chew on topic wise but those should hopefully get your interest. Orion is probably one of the more immediately useful things to learn about since he's our main antagonist as of right now. Knowing stuff about the AI is nice since they'll pop up a lot and could be big players later down the track. Davic is a good insert to see the collapse of the colony from.
>>574726416>bare minimum mandatory readingImagine having a game so poor, you have to read text, instead of actual scenes with voicelines. Or a character who presents the new info. Not having every line in the game voiced by someone, this really is pathetic
Marathon 2026 looked like a promisiing B-tier game, a step below triple A, no big deal.In reality, Marathon 2026 is an empty indie game, literally no content
>>574730827>Imagine having a game so poor, you have to read text, instead of actual scenes with voicelines. Or a character who presents the new info.>Not having every line in the game voiced by someone
>>574726416Thanks anon, i'll check the your recs. I did read some of the CyAc ones like the runner outreach program. That runner contract was some shit, imagine let the corpos decide own your identity/consciousness and deem how much effort they put in reviving you if they fuck up. FFFUUUUUTTTTUUUURRREEEEE
Let's make a useless PvE mode, instead of actual, real updates. You know, the updates that players care about, like a N*w мap
>>574735572Just goes to tell you what kind of situation our runner must have been in to decide to sign up. The outreach entry with Euclides and his own personal note from the runner geocache basically confirms he used to be the leader of a micro revolutionary columbian nation and even he had to fold to Traxus and become their beck-and-call bitch.If people like that aren't immune to being strong armed into becoming runners, god knows how deep in the shit we might have been. Other entries paint a pretty grim picture for Earth, Luna, Mars and Saturn. UESC might be scumbags but they might somehow be the more "morale" faction out of everyone despite the atrocities they have attributed to them.
Randal the Vandal kek
>>574683181>i want new enemies >but they have to be ONE HUNDRED PERCENT uniquenigga... what?there is nothing new under the sun
>>574739641this pve mode is strictly a gamemode, meaning only code and some very light modeli ng work is neededa the brunt of the work for a new map is on mappers and modelers. art and design heavy.they could very well have created this pve mode without any impact to the team working on new maps
>>574694924Or a fucking destroyer skin.
>>574705193Isn't that literally all of Destiny gameplay?
>>574707873We probably won't, it's an experimental mode meant to run only for 2 weeks. There will definitely be story stuff in the proper version of it in season 3, though.
>>574730827I agree, this is why Skyrim sucks. Every book should have transported you into a cutscene, but instead you just have to read it like some queer.
>>574712176Aren't they removing precision damage from shotties (besides the Circuit Breaker) either way? It should generally tone down on the volatile nature of shotgun trades and also make it less efficient to consistently rush. Will a Destroyer/Vandal with a WSTR and Misriah still be a menace? Sure. The current changes will just make sure that shotguns stay in their intended role. Point-Blank defensive/offensive options.
>>574745910>Aren't they removing precision damage from shotties (besides the Circuit Breaker) either way? It should generally tone down on the volatile nature of shotgun trades and also make it less efficient to consistently rush.They are but that barely matters? Mizzies 2-shot pretty comfortably just from body shots even at their max rangeband. It's probably healthy to make the wstr not do precision but the spread on it was already horrendous so it barely matters anyway, it being able to 2 shot reliably just from body shots is gonna make it just another viable bubble peeking murder gun and solidify the bubble meta even more now, especially with the 2 equip limit.Bubbles already cuck grenades, so what use is there in taking grenades at all now? Likewise what merit is there in taking a sentinel? He's basically only useful for his radar and snares now, it's just a massive miss-step
