A tale old as time with every team based game ever. You get random retards, you'll have a bad time. Just hope they add cryo solo finally then you'll have fun.

>>577602651
And Dire Marsh - 2-3 times bigger. Algae Ponds and Greenhouse are supposed to feed the whole colony, but they are barely big enough to feel a village. The whole map feels like a miniature. During the little time I've spent in Arc Raiders, the only 2 things it had over Marathon are enemies and map scale. I really liked navigating and traversing the dam, lowering those walkways. Getting to an area you wanted to be in felt like a proper trip.

>>577604561
100%

>>577604561
Dire Marsh should be a 5x5 km2 map, it doesn't have to be so concentrated to the point of exhaustion, no mobility runner should traverse that map from either end in less than 2 minutes, just look at the areas that are oob why not let players see what's there Bungie? Furthermore, Dire Marsh should have the day night cycle integrated as it would make it way more exciting than the absolute bore fest both variants are right now. Outpost? There's tunnels underneath, open those tunnels Bungie, open the tunnels at the end of Dorms and Orientation wtf

bro all they had to do was to actually make these maps a tad bigger there's no need to make each space that detailed most players won't even notice all that shit, but they'll definitely notice how their traversal impacts their game instead of just bhopping from each PoI just to fight and then do nothing but sit in box menus all game until exfil. Fuck it, why not make Cryo bigger just remove all those rng monitors and let people make decisions whether to waste time in their respective spawns waiting to collect sec tags or find ways to traverse the outer parts of the map. why is the level design team allowed to make these retarded decisions????

>>577608003
Speaking of Outpost. There should be lesser rewarding activities available there. This would make it less of a battle royal for the Pinwheel.
>there's no need to make each space that detailed most players won't even notice all that shit
I'm glad they did, though. They totally have enough staff to maps for big and detailed.

>Trying to do solo compiler for the clout/bragging rights
>Always missing some vital component to make the run work
I just had a failed run where I almost killed the comp, but I had to do it with an M-77 and Magnum, no bully or conquest despite me opening every level 3 room and arsenal up. If I get either of those then suddenly there's no EMP grenades in sight. If I can get EMP nades and good weapons then the vault order is completely fucked and wants me to grab 4 coolants and the max battery count for every door which means I get 5 minutes to try and prime all the panels and either 1 or 2 phase him.

So tiring.

>>577615986
I just gave up. Our third says he's tired of vault breakers, and with duo we are just too slow, can't collect enough batteries in time.

>>577616993
I want to, but my pride is gnawing at me to wanna keep trying. I don't even have the motivation of the gun charm to keep me going anymore since I did it with some random fills after bossing them around.
>Our third says he's tired of vault breakers
Unfortunate. Sucks cause you totally can get the bats with just two people (before the solo time add I was able to open up compiler door with 6 mins left as a solo) but without the damage buff and being down a man you basically can't do compiler even if you have all the good gear you need since you just get stat checked.

Hopefully you can find someone to help you before the mode goes away nonny

>>577615986
>>577617556
What pisses me off about vault breakers is there's a point where you stop making progress and you just beat your head againts rng. In the regular game mode you still have a bunch of shit to do even when the rng fucks you. Here? Nop, 20 minutes down the drain, do it again.

>>577617863
>In the regular game mode you still have a bunch of shit to do even when the rng fucks you
Like dying? Normal cryo is way worse since if you don't get level 2 clearance in your spawn you're basically just at the mercy of whatever team wants to molest you and get locked out of getting level 5 and even 4 clearance if you're stuck for too long. I do agree there's at least more meaningful things to do since you can at least hunt down salvage in level 3 rooms or look for weapon lockers but still

The RNG for VB annoys me but I get why it's like this unfortunately. How security clearance works in normal cryo is stupid though, and it's only worse since people keep abusing bugs and exploits so they can do out-of-bounds map clips and 1 minute invades.

>>577618562
I did not mean normal cryo specificaly, but the regular pvpve gameplay in general. It's understandable why vb the way it is, it just gets annoying over time.

>>577619919
Ah fair. I don't really know what to make of the current loop of
>Fight one team
>Strip the map clean
On one hand it is kind of fun and oddly satisfying, but it also feels like I shouldn't be able to do that as a merc on a time sensitive contract. I really do wish the maps were bigger. Saw a pic the other day of someone comparing Dire Marsh to one of the outdoor maps for Tarkov and it was like triple the size of DM. Kind of crave getting to explore a large amount of space like that.

so, when is it going f2p?

>>577624470
Bungie is waiting to see what they do with Sand first.

the game got too boring for me so i just decided to straight up fuck up outpost sessions

>spawn as vandal
>get two red keys fast af
>hide them in a container that has already been opened
>watch as the server teams desperately try to find them and try to hunt me lol

yeah i know they can spawn a red inside by destroying a purple bot

but

1) every team in outpost wants to wipe the server clean before they do pinwheel :)
2) opening pinwheel without 3 red keys sucks because even if the purple bots can spawn one it's not 100% that it will happen

Buying the purple core upgrade for VB was a mistake. All the good ones for the shells that I use in it are blue. I hope that the real PvE mode lets you buildcraft.

unfortunately for marathon though the nature of these types of games relies on new content

>>577624470
I think Sony will kill the studio before allowing Marathon to go F2P. It costs around, how much?, $350-$700k per month to keep Bungie running. And they don't really have anything else in the works so if Marathon goes F2P and if it doesn't get any substantial amount of revenue from Micros immediately, which can only happen if player retention surges like never seen before, then the studio would basically be doing nothing but lose one or two million dollars every 3 months while not even working on any new live-service title to secure a proper stream of revenue instead of their current failing product and instead the resources are going into the sinkhole of a game they were trying to turn succesful but failed at.

Sony is just going to kill them and blame it on something or someone else and then move on and never EVER again buy any singular studios for over a billion dollars.

Like 90% of all shitters play Assassin and never use any of his abilities
Sentinel and Triage players usually have a higher skill average since you need to actually be decent at the game to make either of the shells work since you can't be carried by their abilities. Granted lots of new players are directed to playing Triage so you do tend to see some real silly people playing him, but as a Sentinel main a majority of people that play him try to play him like Recon or Assassin (using his abilities for offense instead of as a defensive deterrent) and get shit on appropriately for doing so
Recons and Destroyers perform better on average, but they have to put far less effort into actually being good since the shells are overtuned as fuck
Thiefs usually have extremely good players with good game sense but she can feel less useful as a team mate. She's overtuned as a shell but more in a "she can do fuck loads of things" rather than a "wow that's overbearing and extremely, unquestionably strong"
Vandal is in the same territory as Assassin where the shell is good but shitters gravitate to her because of her appearance and sparingly use one of her abilities (double jump), but I'd say I've met more cracked vandal players than good Assassin players.

Something I see a lot is players will try to create “Le epic ambushes” with sentinel, and they hyper focus on this idea to the point that they actively sabotage both themselves and the team to try and make it happen. The strength of snares is using them as both an info gathering tool you can use to keep track of if a team is following you but also as a way to halt pushes so your team can get a heal or rez off, creating a safety net/fence that an enemy team cant really brute force. Newbie sentinels usually try to rush forward and throw snares directly at enemies or put them in positions hoping the enemy steps into them so they can pop out to kill them when they’ve been goo’d, throwing them out in the open or flinging them into a doorway enemies will likely never step through in a fight to “take ground” rather than “hold ground”.

By giving up on that focus of creating a safety net for the team, these newbies are intentionally playing into a weaker version of sentinel, and also usually put themselves into positions where if they did deploy their prime, they’re far away from team mates who can and will get grenaded to death. Recon and Assassin are much better suited for taking ground out of the less mobile shells, since both have great abilities suited for offensive play, and I think it’s this combined with the power fantasy of “trapping” people that tricks new sentinel players into playing him the wrong way. Most shells you’re rewarded for playing offensively with, but Triage and Sentinel you really need to play them differently to make them work.
>>577715481
I’m well aware of your self fellating arm loser. I don’t really care since if you actually play the game you’re bound to kill the stronger shells just by virtue of actually playing the game. It’s like bragging about going grocery shopping or something lol.

So Bungie needs a full team to design a playable game. After getting hit by layoffs, Bungie can't even produce a stage.
You know, you go through four stages, and get #5 to select.

But there's no #5, Bungie is too retarded to be able to produce a new level. Something that isn't Perimetet/Marsh/Outpost/Cryo, they can't produce anything.

Eighteen a day doesn't sound like a lot, it's the quality that matters. Those were not random kills, it was specifically people who wanted to exit, after doing something. I ruined for them.
Now that kind of 18 per day is cool, I think.

This lot of incompetents is genuinely incapable of learning from their mistakes, holy fuck this sounds beyond retarded

>>577854669
That's absolute dogshit wtf. Are they deliberately killing this game as much as possible?

>>577859562
Right, but if that's the case they could just include the UESC manifest store alone, fill it up with actually good gear and then limit it so manifests can only be earned on perimeter/marsh if they want to keep the other maps populated and stop people from dropping out for the rest of the season. No one that's put down Marathon for the season is gonna come back and spend 3+ hours grinding so they can shoot a gun six times at bots before it disappears, but people that are thinking of dropping the game might be inclined to give it a shot if there's a catch up mechanic or way to get accelerated, easily obtainable loot. Most casual players love CARRI because of this, and it's easily been one of Bungie's actual good ideas.

Like no sane casual shitter is gonna do all this hoop jumping just to shoot a gun, but I can assure you if you stick a prestige mod in one of those stores, causals will jump at the oppurtunity to start farming manifests since it gives them a chance to actually play with the cooler stuff in this game in any game format they choose.

>>577858934
>serious answer you need a premade group of 6 to 9 guys on rotation using third party voice comms to consistantly win
so the game died because "people" like you killed it

>>577860871
What are you taking about that’s just the truth of the game. Without a premade your ability to have fun is severely limited by your fill quality which is generally going to be shit but even if it’s great half the time no one really wants half their time with a game to be an annoying mess trying to coordinate with assholes/idiots and people refusing to comm, just to end up competing with stacked premades and losing all your shit because even at the peak play count it never occurred to bungie to segregate premade teams from fills.
I’m not that anon but here’s another reason for you. People generally don’t want to play a game that requires you to lock in for 25 minutes at a time the way marathon does. If you’re not primed to hear audio cues, being mindful of every sound you make, and just generally entirely focused on every in game detail, you risk dying in some stupid way in an instant.
I’ve played lots of shooters and when I would play warzone not a session would go by where me or one of my buddies wasn’t bitching about dying to someone running up on us completely silently. Marathon made me appreciate why lackluster audio might be a specific design choice because playing around being able to hear a runner take a single crouched stepped 2 floors above you makes the game more stressful than it’s worth engaging with

>>577858443
my fate as a loot piñata is sealed

>>577863239
I'm not against premades, I'm against more than 1 premade group deliberately queueing at the same time to team up in a match. Groups are 3 people in this game, not 6 to 9.

>>577863239
Marathon truly is revealing how bitchmade and low iq the average gamer is. Enemy runner footsteps are almost as loud as fucking gunshots. 9 times out of 10 you know when an encounter will happen. A lot of time the gameplay is casual strolling around the maps shifting through trash looking for gold. People make this game sound like the most hardcore shit but it's not more punishing than Binding of Isaac or any other roguelite for that matter. Also since Season 2 you can easily solo all content except cryo archive, but surely they will enable that soonTM.

>>577864214
Oh I see, I’m not reading that as him saying you need to stack ques, but rather that you need a large rotation of people to consistently play with, which is also true. 2 won’t be enough, there will be times when someone isn’t on or someone gets on an hour later and the other 2 already got someone else in. To consistently have fun in this game you need to have a good handful of people you want to play with online, not already full

They better be quick about that PVP mode. Get the apex refugees cashcows and sell all the skins.

>>577864493
And just to be clear, I'm not against them adding even more casual friendly stuff to the game, this is just an observation. Although I'd be be glad if the pvpve extraction would stay the main focus, they just need to add more fucking content.

>>577864493
Ya the loud footsteps are exactly the problem for casuals. Doesn’t matter how loud they are when the casual isn’t wearing a headset/ has someone talking in the room next to them/ or is half trying to watch some fucking YouTube video while they play. Same reason television and films these days are being designed specifically for people that have their faces down in their phones for half the runtime

i didn't kill marathon. its the development studio's responsibility to gather maintain and grow a player base not me.

It would not be boring if it had picrel. Apex is more of a movement game, Marathon is tactical combat, with hide n seek, zipping around rarely works. Fast movement only works in easy lobbies(shitters) on Marathon.
Picrel is the only thing the game needs

Eagerly awaiting PvE and low/no stake PvP modes. I'm just generally not a fan of PvP extraction shooters for the same reason I dislike BRs in that I don't want to bother wasting my time going around looting just for fights that last 30 seconds when I could play plenty of other games where I'm not dealing with all this extra bullshit fluff just to engage with the most enjoyable part of the game. Only thing that gets me to play a PvP ES to a degree is the game's setting appealing just way too much to me, same reason I gave Marauders a try

Like 80% of people who tried it played Destiny or Halo. They, undestandably, expected to find some SSS+ AI tier, or at least fun to fight PvE that fills the dead air alongside rare but high stakes PvP, perhaps even 3-way (4-way if you count the people who expected the alien P'fhor to be a hidden faction at release or once Cryo was complete for the first time, like a suprise update) battles that are chaos and then a sense of calm and accomplishment that comes from winning said fight, looting and then escaping in a minute or less, perhaps akin to Warzone gamemodes (CoD and Halo).
Instead they loaded into the map and got beamed by braindead bots with no unique personality and also with no memorable physical features besides looking like an unreal engine physics testing model that you can find online and when it came to PvP, they found people camping in corners with shotguns or zooming through the map while hurling and planting whole inventories worth of explosives everywhere or to anyone just to make people lose progress.

People expected to the culmination of everything Bungie had ever made fun with PvE and PvP experiences across the previous two franchises that they handled, all into one definitive game, that game being also the grand return of Marathon, the franchise that was the prelude to Bungie's rise with another one later... Instead they got "Lite Apex" with frustrating mechanics from Tarkov and A:B. An art style that looks nothing like the original Marathon and a story that basically did not exist unless you painstakingly read a bunch of text hidden in the map and which you are not guaranteed to get to if someone just kills you while hunting for the lore.

Also, and this is still the most baffling decision of all, for some insane lapse in judgement, there are no fucking aliens in a franchise best known for fighting aliens. It's mostly combat between deviantart fetish content-looking bioandroids who fight for trash.

I agree on all points except the aliens. I'm fine with that exclusion because they clearly intend to introduce the Pfhor and other aliens with time as a part of the unraveling mystery of "What happened on Tau Ceti IV and to the Marathon?" and the expanding stakes of what's happening here. The clamor to have the Pfhor already show up in S3 by people just feels so premature to the build up they're trying to cultivate, even if Bungie apparently seem kind of clueless on how to continue their own story and last we heard hadn't written anything for it in a while

What you said + people being (rightfully) mad about Destiny 2. The only reason this game gets these types of complaints and bitchmade statements is specifically because Bungie have been arrogant counts with how they fumbled Destiny 2. If they would have kept quiet and just kept all them cucks lashed to the treadmill none of this psychotic bullshit would have taken place and Marathon would have just been another decent game

>>577932528
Do you not remember Marathon's launch? People shit in Marathon because it's poorly designed and not fun, it had nothing to do with Destiny 2. We got those same complaints back at Marathon's launch and while, as far as everyone knew, Destiny 2 had two more expansions coming.

>>577916826
There may have been people bitching, I certainly didn’t want vault breakers, tried it and thought it was fuck off boring waste of time where you ignore literally every bot, not that they’re fun to fight anyway, and just run around playing 52 pickup to rush vaults. The general tone was not negative though, shitters were happy to waste their time with it and most people thought well good for them, have fun.
The reception to this ordinance nonsense is overwhelmingly negative across the board. it’s bullshit that not a single person was asking for and it doubles down on everything about the gameplay that people fucking hated. Genuinely one of the most tone def updates I’ve personally seen a studio push.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to enjoy Marathon. The art style is extremely abstract, and without a solid grasp of art theory most of the vibes will go over a typical player's head. There's also Marathon's hardcore gameplay, which is deftly woven into his every single aspect of the extraction loop - its gameplay draws heavily from Dark Age of Camelot, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these aspects of the game, to realize that it's not just a game- it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Marathon truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Marathon's ultimate goal: sneak around the map collecting loot and avoiding enemies for a chance to make it out with the grand prize, which itself is a cryptic reference to Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Joe Ziegler's genius unfolds itself on their monitors. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Marathon tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Oh oh, melty.

I was under the impression that this was always an intentional thing? Because like most of the sekiguchi implants are objectively amazing, so they do the 1-per-day limit so everyone isn't rocking strong stuff from the get go. Also it's been like this for 2 months now

Ah yes, we need to wait TEN MONTHS in real life for Bungie to introduce the same aliens from the old Marathon games. We need Bungie to sit on their asses and not work on new NPC enemies, the thing they are famous for in a game currently populated by mindless screeching robots. Idiot.

>>577953685
But what if they improved the UESC robot variety and added not Sph't/Pfhor aliens that are fun to fight? Of course, Bungie has done neither so far, but all that means is that when the memberberry enemies are added, there is no guarantee that they will be good, either.

Is the maintenance going to last another 50 minutes?

No, fighting UESC will never be satisfying because you KNOW the UESC just pumps them out in mass. There is no reason to fight them on a fundamental level. It's easier to sneak past them or use them as bait for enemy players. Expanding their roster still leaves all the shit units that are boring to fight bullet sponges in the game. The Pfhor and Sph't are against humanity as a whole. To kill any is a win for humanity. Their alien shapes and movement and tactics would be fun to engage with over BOT SPAM again.

post your prediction for today's peak player count, I'm thinking we'll hit 7.5k

>>577963037
8.8k

>uesc manifests aren't shared between your team
Literally why would they even choose to do this

>>577963037
I don't think it'll deviate from the norm.

>>577963024
HOW is this game so busted

>>577963191
I think they're supposed to be shared but I just did a run where I picked up 24, my team mate picked up 21, it showed that the 21 was "shared" in the post run recap but I only got 24 manifests in my vault

>>577963024
Classic nu-Bungie. Totally incapable of shipping a functional update.

>get gold key template
>four duo outpost games in a row without a warden spawn
>lose it to teaming scumfucks on the fourth run
Is anyone else noticing egregious teaming in duos? I am typing this after yet another match where we got teamed on by some cunts (probably the same bunch honestly)

>>577954032
Anon, they are never going to make the UESC interesting to fight.

>>577970532
Their loss.

I really wish you could turn friendly fire on and just dome your team mates in the head sometimes

can someone sum up the new mode for me?

is it worth it?

Is the performance still dogshit on maps other than perimeter?

You can now use Xenophage from Destiny 2 on Perimeter but you can't extract with it
>is it worth it?
No

>>577972148
>On perimeter bot enemies drop special items and a firestorm key template
>You use special items to buy shit from a store (this can include the firestorm key templates as well as some purple gear and a synapse cube)
>You take the firestorm key and do an objective on dire marsh to turn it into a firestorm key
>Once you have 3 keys you can open a firestorm locker to get a funny gun that 2-taps enemy runners but you can only shoot it 6 times as well and can't exfil with it

Supposedly there is also purple or prestige loot in the locker but it's a lot of fucking around. It's probably worth just farming the manifests if you're on the lower end of the skill level/just starting but I really don't think it's worth going for the keys like at all unless you can reguarly play with a trio and each of you is doing one key each

Sorry, I've been playing Death Stranding 2.

>>577972916
Unlike chartfags, I have a job and it's 6am in the morning so even If I was on, my trio wouldn't be.
I'll jump on later when bungie takes their mandatory 12 hour period to fix whatever is broken

>Remember how much cancer heavy weapons used to be in Gambit.
>Introduce them into a high stakes PvP game.
What's the point? Even if the gun eventually makes it way into the loot pool, there's barely any reason to grab it outside of pummeling a single team, maybe one and a half if you're a good shot. The whole idea just seems so pointless for a game like this. It'll always be a fucking coin toss in the future whether or not you run into a team with a Firestorm, which introduces even more volatility into the PvP environment, as if it wasn't already packed full of shit before the Disinjector nerfs.

>>577972148
There is no new mode, it's an event.

>>577658582
Great clip.

New update looks neat, don't know if I'll be coming back to check it out though. Doubt that ranked having better loot will make people treat it any less like battle royale.

MARATHON INCLINING!!!

>>577972916
im on my 14th playthru of elden ring with some new mods can't be bothered to play this game rn

>>577954032
>what if they improved the UESC robot variety
They haven't

>>577977118
Yeah, I know, I said that later in my post. You should finish reading posts before replying to them.

I jumped back on today to play some solos. First match of the day I killed 2 people with a blue cyac bundle kit thing. Had the hardline PR on it. Was fun. I think I am definitely going to play more when season 3 comes out. Main reason I am not playing now is that I am really spread out between my hobbies. I kind of hate that I can't play multiple games at once or do multiple hobbies at once. It makes me feel like I am neglecting one for the others when the reality is that I want to play / do all my hobbies.

nah those release dates are definitely getting shifted to avoid competing with marathon season 3

You were paid to post the second one so I would google it, weren't you

>>577978159
you didn't know about legendary game developer Jonathan Blow's upcoming sokoban type video game Order of the Sinking Star scheduled to release on October 8th, 2026? And you call yourself a gamer?

Only thing I hate about solos is that the kills mostly don't feel thermodynamic. Most of the time I kill someone it is because I heard them first and they walked through a door I was aiming at expecting them. Other times it is pure happenstance that I came across them as they are looting something. It just doesn't feel earned sometimes but I think that is just the nature of solos. The rules of nature if you will. I die the same way all the time.

How do other extraction shooters do "events" in game? As far as like all the dinner bell stuff where if you press a button, it makes a lot of noise etc but opens up loot rooms and what not. I personally don't mind stuff like that. I don't think it is a bad idea. I don't think the inverse would be a good idea though. Opening loot rooms silently or something. OR if the option to open silently was behind a mechanic of some sort. Like opening rooms with a key will not sound an alarm but opening a room manually via a hack or forcing it open will sound an alarm. Dinner bell mechanics seem sort of frowned on but what is the alternative? What do other games do? I know Tarkov has those marked rooms or whatever right? Those take a key don't they? But also, I think most people know where those rooms are and they rush them.

Well that flopped. Do we have to wait for Season 3 to save the game now?

>>577979437
wait for f2p and pve to release trust the plan

>>577979584
That was too cute

>>577979437
nothing will save this game

Comeback status?
Blast status?
