My worms have been such greedy little bastards. I've given them around 2 million credits worth of shit to munch on and I just got my 3rd cradle reset last night
What's the best item(s) to buy from armory, in order to convert cash into cradle xp?
>this thread
>>575800236let it go then bruh
>>575754634>new license agreement>is dated to February
Why is the average gamer so retarded?
>>575801647>hatersissies can't readwow that's so surprising. oh I'm surprised. oh wow.
Mighty Bungie, whose accomplishments span more than two decades of Halo and Destiny. Mighty Bungie, a company worth billions, cavorting with the likes of Microsoft, Activision Blizzard and now Sony Interactive. Mighty Bungie, storied developers and trailblazers of game design and tech development. All has come full circle. Mighty Bungie, getting absolutely ass annihilated by a B tier canuck studio and their literal cougar mom public figure, now one of the most respected and beloved devs in the business.....lol....LMAO even
>>575799963I've been buying backpacks and cores for shells I don't use to turn to worm food. Most purple items give good conversion rates but they're pretty limited in stock unfortunately
Don't you understand? No one wishes to go on.
>>575805881I love this cougar like you wouldn't believe
>Vault Breaker comes out>Is not an extraction shooter update>Remove Marathon from SSDIt should be PvPvE, no interested otherwise.
>get killed by a gold gear team in ranked>eh whatever it happens>check their rank>all plat>I'm gold IIII thought plat and above HAD to queue high stakes ranked and that it was a seperate queue, why am I going up against these guys?
>>575805881>Hap-py Birthday!
>>575812075Those two queues got smashed into one, because nolifers complained about themselves being 1% of the population and never having matches pop up for minutes on end
>>575812075Why are you even playing ranked in thisIts like joining a boxing tournament where guys might we wearing knuckledusters or motorbike helmets or something
>>575815217>everyone in pinnacle has only gotten there because they've been able to grind bronze rank shittersI thought the whole point of forcing everyone to use the tag that matches their rank was to actually enforce some level of MMR. Awesome to see Bungie can't make their fucking mind up>>575815531because it has an active queue and I'm sick of being stuck on cryo or outpost all the time
>>575799963Cheap weapons and implants.
>>575812075Ranked fucking sucks. It's not an interesting mode. They should change how it works. Make it a sponsored kit mode where you can't keep the stuff you find (like Vault Breaker) and have the kits get better and better as you rank up. This way, people wouldn't get worried about losing loot to sweats, and the mode would be reliant on skill instead of items (more fitting for the supposed ranked mode).
>>575817948>people wouldn't get worried about losing loot to sweatsImagine being an adult, and being scared of loosing a pixel gun in bideo game. Grown men scared of playing a computer game.
>>575818713Enjoy your game continuing to die then faggot.
It's crazy to think there are people that thought this game would do well.
Mara sisters...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-gVXR7Thno
>>575822963Good video. It's fair to the game, it simply acknowledges what went wrong with it.
Humiliation ritual game.Humiliation ritual fanbase.Humiliation ritual company.
>>575823204Volt guns look pretty good, actually.
>>575822963>i went to tau ceti and all i got was the idea that it should be closedits so easy to spot the filtered
>>575825321upvoted
>>575825321Other than the solo play part, which is an actual pain point in the game and should be continue to be complained about, this is pretty funny.
RAPED and GAPED.
>>575828078Delta Force won
>>575828078Maybe PVE but again will save it...trust the plan...let Bungie cook.
>>575828078SO TRUE SAAR! #BHARATNUMBERONE
The silence from Bungie regarding Marathon reminds me of the lead up to the Destiny 2 shut down.
I'm just glad I got 300+ hours out of it and hit level 100 in S1.
>>575831394The main account posted less than 10 minutes ago, another random clip.The dev account posted 2 hours ago, a retweet of fan-animation, and yesterday about VB getting extended by 2 weeks.What silence?
>>575831773>Xhe thinks random marketing material is communicationGood goy
>>575831840Did you not read my post? I'll repeat myself:>The dev account posted yesterday about VB getting extended by 2 weeks.
>>575831963I did, that's not communication. That's a limited time mode having it's date extended because there's nothing to do or talk about it.
>>575820046>losing hurts my feelings, bad game>>575823204>losing humiliates me, bad gameThis is why I don't trust reviews on any resource. People who get wins, shill their game. People who can't get wins, will try to downplay the game and ask for it to be something different.
>>575832189>that's not communication
>>575832326What did they communicate? A date change?
It's not communication, unless the devs post about classified things happening at work
Holy cope
>The game is dead unless its community manager reads me a bedtime story every night
Nobody owes you communication, Ziegler liked acting cool, that's why there were so many posts.A** R*****s never "communicates" until they release a patch.Call of duty or Rockstar doesn't "communicate" either. Anon is being a crybaby bitch >waaahh why no communication??
>>575818713>Imagine being an adult, and being scared of loosing a pixel gun in bideo gameConsidering how dead this dogshit game is, I can absolutely imagine that. Yes, I can imagine that perfectly and validly.
I'm a developer at Marathon, why should I communicate with you niggers? I get paid for coding the PvE mode, I don't get paid for making posts for you.
Ziegler talked to us like every week. This new retard game director has been in for weeks and we haven't heard a fucking word from him. This is exactly like Tyson Green taking over Destiny before the shut down.
>>575833087You're not going to be paid at all soon enough. Not by Bungie, at least. Definitely McDonalds, though. Now put the fries in the bag.
>>575833130I don't need to be talked to, I need the game to be worked on.
>>575833497>Bungie>Workingkek
>>575833542Well, they are either working or packing their bags, there is no in-between in the company's current state. Sony bothered to assign a new director, so I assume it's the former.
>>575833042>you bloody bitch game is dogshit and dead saar
>>575833042destitroon....i have bad news about which of bungie's games is officially dead.....
Bros...
This what watchable looks like, chud
Oh VB got more upgrades added to the armory. I should've kept taking t1 data, oops
>>575828078>>575834396>>575834896
My main issue with the game right now even with the added PvE mode is there's no loading screen lobby where I can see who my random crew fill teammates are playing Runner choice, loadout, and rank before being dropped into the run with a timer ticking down. I had people literally leave seconds after loading in because they didn't like my Runner choice. They should know DURING THE LOADING SCREEN what Runner Class I'm playing so they can opt out BEFORE THE RUN STARTS.

Fuck yea
>>575838402uh, and let people dictate what i play because of The Meta? sounds like toxicity, chuddie, and we don't do that here. reported, sweetie. :)
>>575838854take grenades and hope nobody ganks you
anyone tried purple slip protocol on the snipers in the game and know if it works well? i'm not convinced it'll overcome the inaccuracy but it is purple...
>>575810724Thank you anon
>>575823454This. Marathon is Nietzschean as fuck. Its the iron law of nature in game form. Ho people thought it was "woke" is astounding. You sinply do or do not.
>>575828289Go download it and queue for a game on their extracrion mode and see what "winning" looks like. Try any map you like. Hard Mode: dont doomscroll while you waitGames dead.
>>575842354see>>575838495
gape
>>575839313>let people dictate what i playNice try. No one says anything. If they don't like what they see they leave. I rather they leave and the matchmaking finds me someone else in the lobby before the run starts.
>>575838495is SAND any good?
>>575838495>SAND wonnedseeing how it's still getting outsold by marathon... sure it did buddy. lol.
>>575848475But SAND makes more money than Marathon does.
>Marathon: #311 in top sellers>Sand: #445Kek, so much for the 30k peaks when none of them are real players
>>575849357>marathon: less than 100 million revenue against a 200+ million dollar budget with a team of 400 devs>0 dollars in profit>sand: made by 20 guys with a budget of 500k made 20 million>19 million in profitSAND wonned marathon losted
>>575832950>>575832476>>575832927Yes they do as I and many others pay (or at this point in time, used to pay) them their cheques, niggers. It's all cool though, soon I can find an ex-Bungie dev working at my local Panera Bread and tell them to put the sandwich in the bag hehexdBonus path:Hopefully, the death of Bungie will also spell doom to their streamers which let me tell ya, I can't wait for these streamer faggots do get fucked in every regard, at any point in time, ooof 2027 can't come soon enough
Hell yeah, first successful 3 vault exfil. VB is pretty fun if you like speedrunning, assuming you're doing it blind and solo.
>>575800236>he keeps coming back though.
>>575851034SAND is also just in early access. Common Bungie L
>>575810724look we need the plebians money to fund game. pve will funnel money from their wallet into marathon.
When i play solos, I have been having a lot of success as assassin and I'll stake out somewhere with the sniper and wait for someone to get into the open of whatever building or area I'm watching. It's not like I really go in with that as my plan but it's more like I really want to make sure the area I'm going into is secured so I'll wait like 5-10 minutes waiting with the sniper. I know objectively speaking this is a pretty smart idea, but is it considered cheesy? I do feel bad just taking someone out when they had no chance to react to a camper.
>>575833130Del Chafe III has the tisms, simple as.
>>575866302that sounds boring if im honest but hey.my take of, camping is a worse experience for the person sitting there doing nothing than the person getting killed, is not the norm. But im sure if some1 did kill u theyd feel real good abt reking the camper
>>575866367he's just like me
>>575866302just sitting in one spot? you don't have to be so passive to stay stealthy i'd think especially on assassin rightsounds like a fishing minigame
>>575866302there are a bunch of people who do this on solos it's normal if you want to exfil it's a good way but mostly solos is just a retarded mode
>>575857324>VB is pretty fun if you like speedrunninglmao this game is so fucked.
>>575881796It’s a tranny game so it shouldn’t be surprising that it plays like something a tranny would enjoy, in this casespeedrunning.
>>575825321>take my updoots!
>>575795074Threads are dying more frequently, and not due to being full. Marathon DB just threw in the towel >>575857324>VB is pretty fun if you like speedrunning,Really? How?
>>575884050>marathondb>vibecode slop
>>575884050>Really? How?Successfully running VB is pretty much all about routing with some on the fly decision making due to rng.
>>575884582
>>575866302>i feel bad for winningwhat are you trying to accomplish?
>>575866302like 60% of the people playing solos do this so don't feel bad>is it considered cheesy?Kind of, but that's just kind of how the game works. You're basically punished for doing anything in the game, so anyone choosing to move around the map has to accept they're consciously taking a risk and can get their head blown off at any second. Every engagement in this game basically punishes anyone trying to be bold, so if anything you're playing in the "intended" way
>>575896456slut
>>575892603>like 60% of the people playing solos do thisI've not sure if I've ever been sniped while playing solos.
>Debating buying the game>Keep thinking "but what if it dies in a month"Be real with me, how long can they keep it going at this rate?
>>575908178At least until season 4. If it doesn't show signs of improvement even by then, I assume Sony will cut their losses. I like Marathon, but just wait for the free week at the start of season 3 to try it. Apparently, season 3 is supposed to have a bunch of early game and onboarding improvements.
>people are getting warned/ostensibly banned for saying mean words in perpetually ai-monitored voice chat, even in solo vbjesus fucking christ
>>575909436Maybe this will finally stop fat fucks constantly wheezing in my ear in 3D with their open mics.
>>575909352When does season 3 begin?
>>57591088422nd of September.
>>575908178Strictly financally, they should have killed it months ago. It dies whenever sony stops supporting it. My bet is that it happens when sony picks their next project. There will be more free weeks, and possibly a f2p move.
Road map?
>>575920712This is the best roadmap we can offer you. We're busy doing interviews at Chucky cheese
Thank GOD they shut down destiny so they could move the devs over to marathon
>>575922097>Spider-Goy 2
>>575908178If Sony didn't spend $3.6B on it, it would have been shut down during S1. It's not worth buying.
>>575908178>how long can they keep it going at this rate?The rate doesn't matter, new boss said release "original IP", Marathon is that for Sony, because all their other products are sequels. Marathon is not getting shut down until season 5. The seasons could be barebones though, because Bungie isn't delivering nuffin when it comes to new content. The servers will be up until early next year, probably spring.>>575909352>but just wait for the free week at the start of season 3 to try itDon't wait, you don't know how bad it will get early next year. Right now with consoles it has over 5 thousand players, play while there's some people on the game. Don't wait for the game to get more fucked up.>>575927939You just know we finna Wolverine soon
>Marathon has cinematic movie trailers>Marathon has no cinematic campaign mode>No chapters or anything with story charactersSaid this since launch, Bungie produced something, that is not like a Sony game. In a bad way. It's supposed to have a blockbuster mode, not the Vault Breaker trash, an actual one, with cut-scenes and named characters.
Waiting for new PvPvE map, no PvE.
https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/>"With the release of Season 2 in June, Marathon has maintained a high user retention rate while also acquiring new users."Sony says the game is doing ok.
>>575908178It has a pretty loyal player base of the few thousand of what remains, and it's probably gonna go through periods of shrinking and growth over the next year but it won't outright die. I would recommend getting it. I haven't seen many of the same people in these runs, not that you really know who's in the lobby unless you ping them to see their name. It's fun. Think of it like this, it's like what 40 dollars? Do you think you'll play over 100 hours of playtime? If so then the answer is yes buy it. I've 100 hours between seasons 1 and 2 the game has only gotten more fun as I've progressed and learned the tricks and spots where things spawn.
Where are the new users?
>Steam playerbase is niche, every player im matching with or dying to is on console>This is obviously anecdotal but I really do think the number of console players has risen. Maybe not to a dramatic degree but it seems like in crew fill I see many more console players than steam players.MnK sisters are you getting slammed by console dudebro cock?
>>575933927I'm glad Halo: Campaign Devolved is flopping hard. The cutscenes are so fucking bad.
>>575933927>Where are the new users?On Ps5 and Xbox seris Sex. The PC trannies got hard filtered
>aimbots you in Marathonwatchu finna do white girl(male)
>Monthly active users on consoles: 14,745>Monthly active users on Steam: 11,095Not like this hahahHAHAH HAHABHAHAHAH
>>575934976Where are these numbers from?
>>575935216https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/So the peaks are under 10 thousand, while unique active users, people who sometimes log in and play, in total with platforms are at 26 thousand per month.
MnK wussies are outnumbered, surrounded, penetrated
>>575920712
>>575935348>Less players than SAND, even across 3 platforms
>>575933816What? I don't like to doompost, but that's just not what happened.
>>575934976So it really is more popular on console. Chuds BTFO.
How do I get better at marathonI always lose most trades.
>>575908178according to paul tassi sony is happy with s2 earnings. skin sales must have pulled through for them
>>575936212i had to change my sensitivity a lot before i could beam people to death quickly under good conditions. maybe that would help you? practicing other fps with the same 360 distance. this game has no practice built-in, the ttk is so low that if you get shot by someone who's in position to do so you're dead and sometimes full killed instantly. otherwise just play rook and go for all the fights you can to get a handle on shooting your gun at enemies
>>575935348Those numbers aren't there. And the only mention of Marathon is this pdf on page 11.>With the release of Season 2 in June, Marathon has maintained a high user retention rate while also acquiring new users.https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/26q1_sonyspeech.pdf
>>575935348>stated numbers can't be found anywhere>said numbers also imply monthly active users being lower than peak ccu in any of the recent months (it should be the opposite)is anon having a schizophrenic episode?
>>575937197>>575937224Probably used an AI to summarize
>>575908178>>575909352https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2026/07/31/sony-addresses-bungies-marathon-performance-in-earnings-report/>Marathon seems likely that it will get at least a year to prove itself in some capacity, though we do not know what metrics it must hit for Sony to be internally satisfied.
>Maratroons hallucinating reading about player countsSteamDB raped you
>>575936212Recognising what weapons an opponent has before you go to trade with them can be a good indicator as to whether you're gonna come out of it better or worse, so try to keep a mental note of which gun is which. Likewise try to pay attention to your weapons and the info you have on the enemy. Even if you know where the enemy is, it's usually not worth trying to trade with them unless you can do it safely or kill them immediately, so gauge whether you can do that with your current tools or abilities and play accordingly. Don't just peak like a spaz and try to force shit to happen, take things slow sometimes.As for going for trades in the moment, try to actually go for headshots. Depending on your weapon it can make a HUGE difference and be the deciding factor in which of you goes down. Make sure you're actually topped up health wise when you go to trade, and also make sure your guns are actually fully loaded. Also very important is to get good at gauging whether you're in your weapons effective range; shooting at someone 20m away with a KKV and shooting at someone 10m away with a KKV is night and day difference even if it doesn't seem that much further away.
I guess my question in all of this is when is the shoe going to drop? It is in Bungie's greedy as nature to drop a DLC paywall and I feel like bare minimum by at least October there will be murmurs of it. Even the different versions/ "Marathon buying guide" on Bungie's own website talks about base Marathon having "all the content for the year" but that implies a separation of another game year and what theoretically would not be included. People say "no there's no way, it'd be p2w, people would rage" but they already have the code programmed to make people who don't own the recent expansion of something turn their loot into normal world loot pool shit, what's stopping that from happening when you defeat somebody who had DLC loot but you yourself do not own the DLC? Mark my words, Bungie will implement a $30 DLC expansion, paid character, map, weapons.
>>575940294>Mark my words, Bungie will implement a $30 DLC expansion, paid character, map, weapons.It's going to be at least $40.
>>575909436That was expected, I think of the shit ass censoring on Destiny and to some extent Marathon with text where normal words would get flagged
>>575940294>Bungie's own website talks about base Marathon having "all the content for the year">they already have the code programmed to make people who don't own the recent expansion of something turn their loot into normal world loot poolSource on both claims?
>>575936002i'm sure bungie is absolutely jealous of sand's 23k peaks, while selling way worse than marathon barely a month in.
>>575941308>>Bungie's own website talks about base Marathon having "all the content for the year"https://help.marathonthegame.com/hc/en-us/articles/45084122305812-Marathon-Editions-and-Pre-Order-Guide
>>575941523Revenue != profit. Bungie is one of the most expensive to run studios on the planet, the SAND guys are not.
>>575941610>Access to all gameplay updates as the year progressesI really think that you are stretching it. And what about the other point?
>>575941823Not stretching it, it's very deliberate wording. Bungie is sneaky as fuck. This isn't their first scam. It's much easier to type "Access to all gameplay updates forever" than it was to type "Access to all gameplay update as the year progresses".
>>575942030Well, I'm either right, or the day that Bungie paywalls Marathon content will be the last day I play.
>>575942207You can just look at how stingy they were with Destiny 1 and 2 if you think I'm wrong. They were comfortable with locking players out of core playlists for not buying DLC within 3 months back then for both D1 and D2, they're fine with doing it after a year.
>>575942352I don't need to look, I'll just wait and see what happens.
>>575941523see>>575851034Marathon lossted
What's up with the jeets shilling for Sand so hard?>w-well, sand has a better ROI because it's indie... so it wonLooking good for a month old game when it's already selling worse than the game that you are shitting on lmao.
>>575943039>>w-well, sand has a better ROI because it's indie... so it wonWell, yes. An indie studio has managed to make money, have more players on its game than AAAA studio Bungie backed by a world-spanning company. Marathon lossted.
>>575943039>>w-well, sand has a better ROI because it's indie... so it wonIt also has significantly more players and much better twitch viewership. It's just a bigger and better game than Marathon is, despite being early access and made by a significantly smaller team.
>>575943039>What's up with the jeets shilling for Sand so hard?Less about shilling for a game and more about laughing at Marathon flopping so badly, people like (you) have to declare victory over a janky SoT clone set in the desert.
>saar, so many viewers! we love watching saar!I just find the "but more players" argument funny when the charts look like someone having heart problems and it's making less money than a 5 months old game with significantly less players.I wonder how many of those are actually real players lol.
>>575944339>and it's making less money than a 5 months old game with significantly less players.marathon has made 0 dollars see>>575851034
>>575944443and you are still using this general to shill your dogshit game. just make a thread about it and samefag there.
>>575944339^retarded maratroon. games indeed peak on random weekdays and bounce between 3k and 30k.
>>575908178At this point its never gonna "die", sony will spend a year probably trying angles to boost player count and if that fails itll go in maintenance mode which imo isnt a bad thing, i dont like live service bs anyways like the game is there it has maps you can play them
>>575944715>fighting tooth and nail for last place in the extraction wars against THE Grey Zone Warfarelmao
>its about playersmarathon has less players>its about twitchmarathon has less twitch>its about moneymarathon has made 0 moneyim sorry but marathon losted hard not only to sand but about 10 other games
>>575931021Actually, sony would've done a writeoff on it if they thought like that. They did a writeoff on concord but for marathon the time has past for that.And honestly marathon couldve been made for a lot cheaper and been just as good. But AAA graphics etc. If sony doesnt get enough players to justify the budget hopefully they get a team on it who can just crank out some cool kitbash maps.
>>575945931>marathon has less twitchIt actually has more. I'm not sure why you guys are still stuck on that metric when the 1 month old game is losing to the 5 months old one.
>>575946242See>>575943534SAND is much bigger on twitch than Marathon is.
>>575936853Yeah lmao Definitely get big gamer mousepad and play low sens mouse accel off, its an fps afterallIm super rusty due to being employed but still better than a friend who plays tons of fps on way too a sensitivity. I get that hes not a tryhard and does single player stuff but still...
This general is still alive? What’s new? I haven’t played since cryo launched. How long before a new map is added?
>>575946242>when the 1 month old game is losing to the 5 months old one.how exactly? less twitch, less players, 0 dollars made. its 3/3.even if we say, okay, marathon is beating world renowned studio, uhhhhhh... TowerHaus makers of sand, yes up there with the likes of microsoft, it is still losing to 10 other indie games. marathon losted.
>>575946583Way too long lmao s3 should add some new stuff at least Imo the problem isnt the playercount its bungie not adapting the budget to match actual sales. I'd be happy with some ugly maps.
>>575946356>isshouldn't be using present tense because it's definitely not true as we speak kek
>>575946583>What’s new? I haven’t played since cryo launched.https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_update_1_1_0https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/mid_season_2_preview
>>575945931You arent sony why do you care? I'm happy bungie convinced sony to waste cash on something very cool that doesnt make a profit.Normies have shit taste afterall, games that sell tend to be slop
>>575908178I thought that was the Martyr from The Citadel games and not the lobe FYP bitch. What a faggot I hope this guy kills himself, the rendering is nice but what a shit fanart
I love losing all my shit all the time it's so funnn
>>575948894soon you will lose your game as well
>>575947543Honestly, this. It's pretty based an actually good game got made despite the average gamer hating it for one reason or another.
>>575934976MAU (monthly active users) is usually about 20-30 times the peak CCU, either A) marathon is a very anomalous statistic or B) you're bullshitting
>>575946913Sand is currently #132 on Twitch and Marathon is currently #203.
>>575953401>B) you're bullshittingThis. The numbers are completely made up and aren't found anywhere.
>>575909712Nooo it wont auto mute people sat by a fan blasting the mic, just people that say vinegar
is bungie ever going to fix the rotating armory mod system? i have the same shitty parts as yesterday...
>>575954526also three of my chips are five finger discount. idk man it seems pretty stupid
>>575932964>bungie make a new IP that isnt a mubi game hand holding daycare and people are celebrating its demiseGaming truly did die
>>575908178People shill other extraction games here, ones with queue times between 10 and 45 minutes on some maps, assuming you stick around longer than that for it to find a game.Marathon isnt one of those games. I've never waited more than 3 minutes at any time of day. I picked the game up late, first day of July in S2, and wish I played sooner. If its a price thing, try akeysitee, I've seen it cheap.
I'm at 1.9M net worth and hit the level cap on my cradle for a second time now, don't feel much of any desire to play the game after going through my armoury refresh, I think I'm about to part ways with this game soon... Steam says I'm .5 hours short of perfectly matching the amount of time I've got racked up in Tarkov, which is a neat coincidence. I'm definitely pleased with what I got out of the 28 euro I bought this game for.If Jason Jones really did get ousted from Bungie, I don't have much reason to care for the fate of the company other than that the art guys that worked on this game continue getting paid for their efforts. But I have no reason to jerk off to the thought of the game and company dying either. Capitalism and commerce is good when it funnels the money of mouth-breathing gamer idiots into projects like Marathon and Tarkov instead of all the other retarded chink scams and Bidenmentia nonsense that fall under the label of "extraction shooters"; this will still be better than... fucking... "SAND" or "Far Far West" even as a perpetually-optimising skinner box running on inertia and the lingering traces of a dead God's vision.
This is those level 3 doors, right? Or is it something else?
>>575955605The addicts know they've wasted their lives and its made them want the entire industry to collapse as an outlet for their miseryyou shouldnt be putting thousands of hours into any singular game honestly. Destiny is a fine enough game, yet destiny addicts are the people making marathons downfall their life mission because they view marathon as bungie cutting off their line of escapism.Its all very sad, honestly. The promise of live service makes it much worse - like fuck i have good memories of getting back into tribes ascend for a few weeks a few yrs ago when the game was truly dead and unsupported and it was still just as fun as when it wasnt dead... biggest difference was the singular server was full of people who were actually really damn good.
>>575960584Yeah I've no-lifed some games in my tume but I don't think I've hit 1k hours in anything since maybe Smash Bros as a kid with my friends, and thats just an estimate, probably nowhere near. Not sure what kind of vile creature ends up being an 8k hours Tapkob player or anything.
I feel like I was making good progress on my cradle resets (almost up to my 4th reset now) but I've stalled pretty hardcore after giving up all the prestige gear in my vault and chewing into my wallet to give my worms random purple gear to munch on. That ten level stretch from cradle level 60 to 70 is fucking brutal with how much conversion XP you need to get.
>>575959906No, this is high-level strongboxes hidden all over the map in obscure places. They get picked up by higher-level scans but you can just find them if you know where to look. Check vent side rooms, behind staircases, places like that, or just wait for your teammates to find them. Maybe the level 3 loot rooms do count, I don't remember.
>>575961041I no-lifed tf2 in highschool, messed up my social development but ive recovered somewhat thanks to alcoholism.got an autist friend who still plays games an unhealthy amount but at least he's a proper connosiour at this point, switching up games regularly and pretty much everything i play these days is some shit he recommended.
>>575958659Jason jones hasn't been actually involved in making games for years kek
>>575959906These can spawn at the bottom of control either in the tunnels leading down to the lvl 5 hatch or in the vents under each theater. If everyone on your team looks it, it counts for all 3 points.
Double exp weekend!!Unrelated, is there anything I should be looking out for in the armory? I'm level 60, so it's not like I have infinite funds or items to barter. I buy an occasional blue bag or self revive with the commendations but that's really it. I don't want to waste items on barters for mods and stuff since I need to level my factions a lot still. They're all about level 15
>>575969401Other than unique weapons and faction XP, it all seems like a scam to me.
2 shoting a grenadier with the Magnum feels pretty good.
The movement, shooting, art style and sound design feel so good. I just do NOT give a fuck about the extraction bits. I feel nothing when I lose my gear. I feel nothing when I extract with gear. I feel nothing when I take someone's gear. The only fun I've had has been trying to get better and better at Vault Breaker because it has some semblance of permanent progression that isn't 1% faster loot speed. What's the appeal for the rest of the game, cause so far I'm just not feeling it.
>>575933927everytime i see duckov on here i lol. how can this fucking be. mega american corpo competing with a tiny chinese studio in player count.
>>575969401pick up all the salvage you can on your runs and get the upgrades so you can buy self-rezzes and blue bags with credits, if you really need one salvage find out where it spawns and run there on a free kit or as rook stubbornly, usually works, rook is faster but less likely to find contested salvage. there are lots of little things to know about the game too, like that 1 or more tarax seeds are guaranteed inside the double building at greenhouse (the one with a above-ground tunnel between two halves)
>>575969401sorry i forgot to answer your actual question in my post - the cyac green kit with the d54 is a good way to start a run if you need a leg up on a free kit, and you should fill out your traxus, nucal and sekiguchi upgrades so the armory will actually sell you endgame viable gear like blue and purple and gold attachments/shields/cores and implants.ever since the nerf to holding two, hoarding grenades is less of a concern. you just missed out on the salvage package bug where all the people who'd been playing a lot regained all the salvage packages they'd ever earned over again. so you'll be extra behind :/
>open door into a building>guy just standing to the side afk>give him a little shot>starts panicking>pulls out his railgun, misses the shot>throws his spider drone, it gets stuck in the corner>watch him run away deeper in >I just go somewhere elseSometimes, I just can't bring myself to kill certain players.
>>575932005>>575933909Thing is, I'm absolute trash at PvP. I've tried games like Apex or Valorant before and I really can't compete with zoomies jumping all over the place landing constant headshots. I feel like with such a small playerbase, the only remaining players are sweats who will instantly 1 shot me as soon as I turn a corner
>>575974378Try ranked?
>>575977702>ChineseOh. Yeah disregard those numbers then.
>>575977702The best part is that they haven't even released their co-op update yet, it's purely singleplayer.
>>575996065we have a population of head clickers who hoard all the gold gear with their god-given power, but also there are a lot of shitters who can't aim who like the game for other reasons than winning, like me
>>575990030you would probably spare me, i lost about ten cryo (one outpost key run too) games today in a row, using up like 40% of my vault's key items and yesterday i whiffed 5/6 shots of a mizzy mag when i could have clutched a fight by being ignored for 15 seconds
>>575795074I still laugh every time
>>576021810Ermmm... didn't you read the report?Sony is VERY happy with Marathon and will continue to support it. It has a VERY high player retentionThe comeback is coming. First comes the comeback, and then they make their revenue back and then some
I wonder why the va for assassin deleted a tweet saying marathon was a successCould he have gotten in trouble by saying that
>>576022728it was taken for study
>>576022728might have something to do with a horde of schizophrenic losers in his comments harassing him for both enjoying and working on the game
>>576022728>saying marathon was a successthere can be penalties for conveying outright falsehoods in certain circumstancesthe statement in question certainly qualifies as falling short of being the slightest bit truthful
I haven’t looked at patch notes in a month but I know the weekly patches are still hollowed out dead things what the fuck are they working on at bungie because I know it’s not marathon
>>576026698>what the fuck are they working on at bungie because I know it’s not marathonupdating their CVs
>>576025768That doesn't explain why he himself deleted his tweet.Also it was in response to an argument HE STARTED with someone else saying the quote sony made was a blatant falsehood to paul tassi.So he literally interjected himself in a conversation he wasnt originally apart of and said something he deleted
>>576028416>snap at some retard spouting some bullshit>get spammed by retard haters>realise you're wasting your breath and time on sub humans so stop giving a shit and delete tweetnot really that hard to compehend
>>576029768>>get spammed by retard hatersLiterally no one besides the guy he was arguing with responded to him.There were much more people arguing with the other guy.Also it's a chain of tweets, and he just so happened to delete the ONLY ONE that directly stated in no vague terms that marathon was a succes
>>575962748With the double XP in VB, I've just been doing traxus "kill x cunts" contracts solo. Takes literally a minute to do them, then you blow yourself up with a nade and grind down the salvage + weapon + carri into cradle XP and repeat.
>>576032941Is that blast having or is ot a proxy for the job you havent got
>>576035650ESL and mentally ill? Didn't know it was SEA hours
>>576006987>Yeah disregard those numbers thenlmao you really think 5k players are botted? marasissies are schizo.
>>575934976you know marathon is a gigantic failure when hatersissies are making stuff up for the billionth time
>>576041440All I know is chinese devs have no scruples about mass fake reviews on steam and you dont need to run the game proper to actually be classed as playing it, so its easily emulated if you can run steam it's enough. The ones I've played have been absolutely dead despite having 6x the players of marathon apparently. Longer queue times than tarkov at peak and straight up no natches otherwise.
>>575958659>Far Far West>barely scraping 1k daily peaksBut wasn't it bigger than Marathon? It even launched 2 months later. What the HECK happened?
>Open vault 1/2>Next is pump>ExfilI just don't feel like running around the map, trying to scan every starting area.
>>575947543>games that sell tend to be slopMarathon confirmed slop while Sand confirmed ludo of the highest order?
>>576047156You can just do it once and then you can permanently unlock starting with the pump credentials. Wtf are solo Vault Breaker players even doing? You're leaving like 2/3 of the vault data behind in every run. You can get through all three vaults with almost no co-operation, only the Compiler requires everyone to be on their top game, and that's probably gotten a lot less demanding with the latest update. This is a Robinsonian numb grind gamemode, there isn't much there for two other players to ruin.
>>576049483>You're leaving like 2/3 of the vault data behind in every run.You can't carry it all with you. A single vault has a full green backpack's worth of data.
>>576049643You know the data is shared in trios right? For every one VB you run, trios are getting 3x that.
What does it mean by "loot security tags"? I thought that it meant picking up security tags or taking them from dead bots, but I've done that at least 12 times last run and didn't get progress.
>>576052368Oh, it was because I was dropping all my of my tags to exfil as much data as possible.
>>576052368>>576054198Okay, this contracts is seriously bugged. I think this only counts on VB if you die with them.
>>576056753Sorry, you can't cheese every contract for that one codex challenge. That would be too easy.
Mistfall any good? Latest extraction shooter that is taking off.
>>576026698Bungie were still using most staff on Destiny and engine upgrades throughout Marathons development. This is the first month Marathon has had its stated development scope and devs have to sort the pipeline while leads get fired.
>>576059029Totally real game that exists and people are playing. Yup. This is how a real videogame is called. Hop on Mistfall dude
>>576057752You can, I just need to collect 12 tags and die. And I got rewarded with alien alloy.
>>576059337You can fucking get those from Cryo contracts? God damn it man, I was hoping not to play this game for today. The best I ever got were purple shields and prestige Cryo keys
>>576059253Yes? Why would you deny the game is real? Mistfall Hunter. Aztecross is playing it right now.
How does this work? Do you just need to open the Arsenal twice?
>>576062780Fuck.
>>576062780>>576062997Yeah, or the central strongbox inside. It didn't count in Vault Breakers last I checked.
>>576059029>indians are now shilling the new goonslop gameyou can't make this shit up
Took a look at Mistfall, looks too generic. I like how Marathon looks
>>576063751>marathon getting mogged by yet another indian gamelmao
>>576064169Ranjeesh... india is the most populated country on Earth.>peaks at Bharat prime timeThat anon is also seemingly right.
>>576063751Tons of people who hate Marathon are third world shitskins. Are you really surprised?
>>576064062Generic? With a name like that? No way, man! Mistfall... I mean that's so evocative, you can IMMEDIATELY tell what it's like and what its core underlying ideas are about. Mist... falling. Not to be confused with titans falling or red falling or uhhh... Really stands out amongst the crowd.
>>576064853>saars of /mg/, look at tis extraction shooter! marathon slopflopped!>game is UE5 FOTM with mixed reviewsrevolting

Modern 4chan is just people calling each other indians.

>>576065298comparisons to flavor of the month games that eventually had even worse retention than Marathon WILL continue until morale improves.
>>576065298>FOTMright just like how sand was supposed to fall below marathon in player count last weekTWO MORE WEEKS AND MARATHON CAN FINALLY BEAT AN INDIE(AN) GAME
>>576065298I mean to be fair Tarkov also has mixed, but that game is still probably the meanest in its field (a field of scammers which propped up around it to flog counterfeit goods) and has had a decade of misery and gamer hysteria built up behind it, and it has a massive Chinese playerbase (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurting_the_feelings_of_the_Chinese_people don't fuck with us Chinese gamers, we'll review bomb your game over the most bizarre, frivolous shit).
>>576066521what the fuck is sand
Starter pump credentials, unlocked at last.
>>576066418>that eventually had even worse retentionBut Sand has better retention than Marathon.>One month, 24k daily peak over 50% retention from an all time peak of 41kMarathon had around 30% retention with a peak of 31k from an all time peak of 88kMarathon is the game with the worst retention. It losted.
>>576066750Now try unlocking the lab 6 code skip.
>>576066732One of the many games that have mogged Marathon to oblivion.
Why is this one nigga so obsessed with Sand? Just make a thread for it.

Good morning, sirs. Wow, Duckov may need to start studying the Marathon comeback!
>>576068761Sand actually has has more viewers that watch for much longer, making it a much bigger game on Twitch than Marathon. Maybe you can get ChatGPT to break this down for you so you can understand it.https://twitchtracker.com/games/960290413https://twitchtracker.com/games/407314011
hello bungie i want to play your game but armory stock limits stop me
>>576068761>irrelevantmore players, better retention>how does it have less viewers at the moment than marathon? it came out literally a month agotoo busy playing the game>but why is it selling wors- made more money doe and marathon has made 0 dollars in profitMarathon losted
>>576066891>but this singular FOTM that came out only a month ago has better retention...Depends on when we check. As the other anon said, it jumps from Marathon's lowest (3k) to 30k in a singular day.>new game with 10x CCU barely beating Marathon's viewer count for a bit is very normal actually!
VB is starting to grown on me ngl. How the fuck am I supposed to get a 2nd vault in a single run though? Every single room is full of enemies.
>>576070237just run past enemies
>>576069854Check april 6th for Marathon. Over half the players gone. Marathon is a worse FOTM than Sand. They losted to an indie game.
>>576070237Assassin is the only viable shell for VB.
I'm so bad at engagements in this game. Bots? They pop my shields instantly and rush me down. Runners? They always run up to me and overwhelm me. I'm very bad at it but I don't think I'm bad at the actual game. Bots are just so fucking annoying. Too many of them, too tanky, too powerful. Anytime in with people they take like no damage in these fights and I'm usually waiting it out because I'm healing and shielding as they fight. :( I don't know what I'm missing
>>576066661Tarkov doesnt deserve positive reviews even without Han hostility
>>576070673>Bots?Practice peeking and try to get headshots. They are bad at following you.>Runners?Idk, I'm also bad at PvP.

I feel so much more comfortable on vandal and thief than anyone else. The movement is too good on them. Double jumping, grappling hook, it's just so nice and fast and I play better with them. I feel lame playing vandal cause like she's the shell everyone picks
Are the things in the armory for vault breakers, like that gun you can buy and the other stuff for vault data, not the upgrades but the actual armory shit, is that just for one round or do you get to keep it until you fully die in a run?
>>576076183How many speedrun WRs do you have
>>576083349No, those are standard items for the base game. You idiot, you could've bought one of the weekly blue backpacks or guns and seen it go into your stash
>Rook it up on Outpost for Neurochem packs>Pinwheel is basically never open
>>576084386Do it yourself or banzai rush the nearest team and aimbot them all like a boss, and then do it
>>576084386Just run the destroyed wing boxes or go search for the elevator key. Both generally tend to be much easier to do instead of waiting the Runner cucks to open it up when most of them seem to be running after red keys and killing each other under that alcove between dormitories and processing.
So how is the buffed WSTR?
Tarkov is a lot more popular than Marathon, but when I read the Steam reviews, I struggle to see why.
>>576095281Also, I'm glad that Marathon doesn't time gate free kits, like Tarkov apparently does.
>>576095281Because not every game is interchangeable with one another, and Escape From Tarkov offers an experience which Marathon (2026) does not, and vice versa. An experience, which to many people, is worth the pain and bullshit.>>576095962At least half of every Marathon lobby runs free kits, what do you think would happen to Tarkov lobbies if you could infinitely spam bodies with no cooldowns or consequences for failure? Remember, this is a game where you can theoretically take down a maximally-invested player with a single lucky shot from a rusty peashooter.
>>576093178I've barely noticed any difference. The no headshot multiplier probably makes it more consistent.
>>576095281>hundreds of hours of playtime>not recommended Name a more iconic duo.
>Played Marathon all day>Played Deadlock all eveningIt's been a while since I've had a weekend as good as this.
I'm a little confused, are all 6 of the faction leaders AI?Gantry is cool as fuck he's my favorite. Love me a little dystopian society downfall
>>576095281Tarkov has more than a few things going for it that Marathon doesn't, but easily could.-Meaningful progression, stuff like the hide out or trader levels can completely transform your experience-Prison wallet and Insurance, it's hard to walk away a complete loser when you do die in a raid. There is the chance that you will get your loot back and you can usually bring out at least one item you desperately needed.-Milsim larp/Gear queer barbie dress up, there are way more retards who want to pretend they are some kind of special forces soldier on a battlefield some where than there are people who want to play a robot tranny on the moon.
>>576097010>At least half of every Marathon lobby runs free kits, what do you think would happen to Tarkov lobbies if you could infinitely spam bodies with no cooldowns or consequences for failure? Remember, this is a game where you can theoretically take down a maximally-invested player with a single lucky shot from a rusty peashooter.I can always spot the people who have never played tarkov, but think they know what tarkov is like. Healing isnt expensive unless you're just starting out. You can walk into any raid with a mosin and a pocket full of 7.62 for pennies. You can absolutely body people who have spent hundreds of thousands into their kit by playing like an absolute bush wookie or rat. It happens a lot, but those same bushwookies also get completely bodied by kitted players more often than not. Unlike Marathon, bullets may or may not hurt you in Tarkov. Bullets can completely bounce off your gear or can be absorbed completely. The TTK in Tarkov is either instant or worse than Halo 3 with no in between.
>>576106962_Gantry's probably just some guy, and Charter is a former runner whom I gather hasn't "merged" with an AI any more than you have. I think that ONI is a personal, "locally-hosted" (probably on the satellite station hosting your consciousness) support AI instance. DESU I think Gantry is just alright, MIDA in (2026) don't really reach beyond the aesthetics of Banksy and the depth of anti-imperialist localism. If Bungie REALLY wanted to be brave, MIDA would've had SIEGE aesthetics and promised an age of terror and retribution upon Luna and Earth. Maybe the world wasn't ready for the game having three evil sinister factions (other two being Arachne and Traxus ofc) in it.I do like the codex message that Charter sends you which states that he supports MIDA because he knows they'll just kill a ton of people and collapse once they have their way. That's clearpilled.
>>576110154Can you now? The 30-40K healing penalty (yeah yeah consumables are slightly cheaper, whatever) adds up if you spam PMC runs with no regard for your life as you can with free kits or ROOKs, and that's an effective enough check against low-risk glorified free kit runs that only a third of the PMCs at most in the lobbies I've gotten were doing pistol/hobo runs.
I genuinely despise the grenadiers. They're actually just unfair and unfun god forbid you're in a fucking building when you encounter them
Why are Destinyfags so determined to kill this game? Killing it won't make Destiny 3 happen.
>>576113280They're not DDOSing the servers or anything, are they?
>>576112078>Can you now?It's always been this way>The 30-40K healing penaltyPick related sells to therapist for over 15k, you can find these fucking everywhere, this penalty may as well not exist. It's too easy to make money in Tarkov, the problem is it's incredibly easy to spend money in Tarkov if youre bringing in actual kits and youre losing them. >adds up if you spam PMC runs with no regard for your life Do you know what really adds up? losing your kit to some naked with a mosin. If you can't afford to rat, you definitely cant afford to chad. >that's an effective enough check against low-risk glorified free kit runs that only a third of the PMCs at most in the lobbies I've gotten were doing pistol/hobo runs.It's never stopped me, its how i personally learn new maps. I go naked with a pocket of 7.62 and an SKS, I might spice it up with a paca and a ski mask.The reality of Tarkov is that all it takes is one good run to completely turn your day around, you could be losing all damn night long, and then some idiot stumbles into your cross hairs or maybe you find some multi million ruble value item in a duffle bag. Marathon doesnt have that, if you are getting your ass pounded, there is no pressure release valve. Best bungie can do for you is hand you a dog shit gun, the worst meds in the game, and enough bullets to break out of your POI.
>>576113280We're not doing anything. Bungie killed Marathon themselves.
>>576112238all the bots act too fucking fast. like they'll charge you/nade you then pop your shield and tag you while sprinting with perfect accuracy if you try to run. and when you wanna shoot them they're taking off, sometimes at lightspeed. they're too strong/aggressive, literally. gotta take damage while i'm trying to remain on full shields for a pvp encounter, i fuckin hate them honestly i don't know why i keep playing this game except that the pvp and looting is so fun, i know why i bought it i like the art and lore and series, but what keeps me going is the flow of items through my vault and the pvp. vault breaker is so boring
>>576113280What did I do?
>>576112238Sort of thought people were joking about the ai being strong until I tried the first pve event solo and they gangbanged me in 10 seconds. Just wish there was a lot more enemy variety. I wonder if people would enjoy a PvE campaign as the primary mode but players can queue in to play as the UESC or other new enemy types; then ranked is the normal PvP mode but reworked for match scoring not the dogshit tag system.
>>576125368play as the UESC against runners*
>>576113280Destiny players don't care about Marathon, your game is just shit
rubberbanded near a bot again
snoy apparently doing the bare minimum to "support" marathon until the original investment runs dry, at which point the interesting possibility of bungie's future will unfold. like most have said since this entire debacle began, snoy's original vestment covers up to season 5, barring unforeseen circumstances or the game's playercount dropping off a cliff one day for any varuety of reasons one could logically ascertain.if snoy does decide, ultimately, to kill off marathon, or send it into maintenance mode, they wont announce that until the very earliest date of december 2026, this year. which would make since given the timeline of events. something has to happen, starting now and leading into q4, to keep marathon, and by extension bungo, alive. i highly doubt the devs will be able to pitch anything to their current overlords that will have the chance to not only be greenlit but also turn public opinion around on the game.
>>576134990>something has to happen, starting now and leading into q4, to keep marathon, and by extension bungo, alive.It's literally not possible anon. They have 400 people working on this game and the best they can do is an empty cryo with sponsor kits.This game should have a dozen different maps by the time s3 rolls around with several new runner shells. Instead were getting more the same bubble/shotty pvp meta and a whole new POI on perimeter. It's fucking over, that company deserves to die and everyone there deserves to starve. I dont know how Destiny fags put up with it for so long, they must be the biggest nigger cattle on the planet.
>>576112238They're a priority when picking targets, but they practically have HP that is between a recruit and the shielded assaults, so as long as you hit your shots you can easily kill them before they get their grenades off. Beyond that they usually spawn in teams of 2 and even in harder events are much rarer than the usual variants due to them completely changing the dynamics of an encounter. They're also weak to the Defender System, not that it means much because every retard of a Sentinel never pops it during bot events.
>have crosshair of my WSTR entirely hovering over an enemy that's 6m away>know his shields are cracked>blam blam>somehow not deadwhat the fuck is wrong with this gun man
>>576138716>6mMight as well pray even half the pellets actually hit. It's near the maximum end of the range for the gun, even when modded.
>>576138826considering it's useless any closer since people can just knife you and twist their hitbox to avoid half the pellets then how else are you actually supposed to kill anything with the damn thing
>>576139496>since people can just knife youIt has more then enough damage to win a knife fight if you empty both barrels. They get one swing off by the time the damn thing is empty. If they live, just use quick melee to kill them. I haven't ran WSTR without Sucker Punch since the initial nerfs.>twist their hitbox to avoid half the pelletsThis is almost impossible to do properly and the pellet saturation up close is like 10x denser than it is shooting the fucking thing at thin air 5m+ It's a point-blank defense weapon, if you're looking for a Misriah experience out of pocket pellet melee weapon, you're just wasting your time.

>>576068761you write like you have dyed hair and drink monster
I stopped playing marathon and I’ve been sleeping better. Coincidence?
>>576141317>People so broken with losses and the brutal nature of the game that it bleeds on over to them being raped even in their sleep. This truly is a unique game in every front.
what is the secret of perimeter
>first cryo game get immediately jump-fucked by a gold team before we can even leave first spawn>second game we get a literal sponge on our team that does actually zero damage to enemy players despite being in a 15 minute firefight with them>third game get rushed by a 6 man team all with misriahs>fourth game get rushed by another 6 man with misriahs>fifth game don't get level 2 clearance in our spawn and before we leave a gold team arrives and camps our exit door for 20 minutes"end game content" and 90% of it just revolves around being lucky with where you spawn and if you have enough of whatever weapon is currently the most busted. It's so fucking tiring man
>>576143129Skill issue. And by that I mean social skill. Get your own 6 or 9 man team.
