Oh shit I studied the comeback in the old thread. Sorry, runners!

>>3151718
tbdesu I kinda like the way cryo is a race to get out of spawn, feels like golden age Rainbow Six.

My only gripe is that it's so different from the rest of the map pool that it's hard to get reps in. 5k buy-in per attempt, no indication as to how much damage you did to someone when you die, there's very little feedback as to what you did wrong when you lose. Was thinking about joining one of the LFG discords and seeing if I can't find some sweaty virgins and just learn off how they play. I've used a mizzy maybe four times total and have only gotten kills with it like twice.

it's genuinely fascinating that people are trying to convince themselves and others that marathon not succeeding is somehow the fault of content creators on social media and not the fault of bungo releasing the game in the state that the developers chose. like, you see the amount of maps, the weapon pool, the lack of crafting or craftable gear, very little supplies top farm for in each run, no trading supplies as a linear side-progression path for players (*cough* rook *cough*), the balance on the weapons means only two weapons at any given time are meta with the rest being absolute trash with no real viability or niche whatsoever, the shell customization is locked to one slot and skins meaning no real builds can be made by the community, and so much more. there is so much more wrong with this game, and people here, and on other sites, are trying to run defense for the fucking corpo who made the game and released it in the sad, sorry as fuck state that we have now.

its fucking pathetic. ive seen people give legit feedback like this and its met with some of the most schizo fucking takes ive ever fucking seen in my life. "show proof youve played marathon!", "give the devs a break, they cant fix everything", "maybe if you gave the game a shot you would like it instead of talking baout it here!", "oh, you are one of those chuds who just gets all of their takes from [insert content creator (or journalist) here]".

have fun with the pve mode none of you complained to bungo about adding. have fun licking the boots of the devs that dont even understand you, who think that people quit the game or didnt like it because, quote "we made it too hard" instead of saying the truth and addressing the lack of features and content at launch, and now.


its niche, more niche than tarkov or arc raiders.
its scope is too narrow, there isnt enough depth or variance between each run or even inbetween, with no to aspire to other than a rotating ((("end-game"))) activity. the raped.

If Symbiosis is just exactly like Vault Breakers but easier then I think I wasted $5 buying Marathon in that Humble Bundle.
Also why does it always take so long for Bungie to make something actually new (instead of just a reskin)? It was a problem in Destiny 2 and it's a problem in Marathon as well. Is there like 3 "managers" to every creative or something?

Movement ruins a lot of FPS. CoD for example, and Apex.
Then there's good movement like Titanfall 2. Marathon's not about movement though, it's about audio.

DMZ is just awful. Those little PvE missions are fun, but the sprinting just ruins everything. It feels like a worse Warzone.

If they had stuck to their initial reveal, kept DMZ slow and deliberate, more MGSV stealth elements like the mode has now, then we can talk about DMZ.

Sweats reliably farm gold loot 2 weeks into the season, this is a total non issue. If anything it just helps the casual crowd.

>will still only be 2-3 weapons per season that are anywhere near the word "good" while the rest rot away in a pile of dogshit
>still no new maps
>still no maps with sniper vantage points that are useable
>no reason to do cryo more than twice a season
>still no weapon/gear crafting, no supplies to farm for and trade on a black market to other players as a side progression
>no new weapons (if there are it will only be 1 or 2 which doesnt help anyone)
>no new shell specific mods
>no news on shell customization or agency being expanded upon

yeah no im good. if the company is still alive by the time the next large update is supposed to roll out i will check in then.

Yeah, the new gun is hawkmoon. There are some new areas of perimeter. And they're trying vault breaker again, for some reason they think people will want it this time and there's some event with codes you need to redeem instead of just logging in and playing it like any other game. There's a flame thrower but it looks lame. I'm being told that Bungie cooked but I don't see it.

>Expedition is a fully PvE cooperative roguelite mode with a dedicated queue across Perimeter, Night Marsh, Outpost, and Cryo Archive. Whether you’re rolling out solo, duo, or with a full trio, you’ll work together with multiple Runner crews to confront the ever-evolving horrors that make Tau Ceti a dangerous, unforgiving frontier. And worry not, you’ll be able to complete Priority Contracts while in Expedition mode, so you’ll be able to uncover more mysteries at your own pace.
>Featuring a whole new curated experience with bespoke rulesets, Expedition includes a new in-run upgrade system we're calling Flash Boosts. All in all, our goal is to make buildcrafting more interesting and make every run series unique, and an opportunity to test a new build out.
>Each session will consist of three runs of escalating difficulty called a Run Series. Build up your shell, complete your series, push your limits and profits that would even make Traxus proud.
>And this is just the start. We’ll reveal more about Expedition’s Phase 2 in March, then keep improving the mode with your feedback as we shape Marathon’s future.

>Here’s a quick look at what your experience in Expedition might look like:
>Your first two runs are the foundation of your Run Series. You’ll explore, complete contracts, search for loot to shape up your build, and sort through your very first bevy of Flash Boosts. As you and your Crew work through these initial stages, you’ll be preparing for the Critical Incident – so be sure to keep careful track of who’s building in what direction.
>Your final run, the Critical Incident, is where that preparation pays off. Raise the floor on the difficulty to take on tougher activities, like solving Upper Complex in Night Marsh, accessing Pinwheel on Outpost, or testing your luck against a new enemy, the Tick Queen on Perimeter.

>>3187431
>A run series can be reset at any point in the chain to cash out your current rewards, or if you didn’t get your build just right on the first attempt. Also, if you join a crew already in progress, the run series will pick up from the highest run in that chain. So, if a crew is on the final run you’ll be able to join them – however, you’ll only have access to your faction loadouts instead of being able to curate your own build run over run.
>Perimeter, Night Marsh, Outpost, and Cryo Archive will be available for Expedition with similar scaling difficulties you would experience in Extraction, and you can freely choose the zone for each run in your series. Want to stick with the revamped Perimeter for each run? Go for it! Want to spread out across Tau Ceti and finish the series on the Marathon ship? It's your party, and you choose where to have it. That is, if you’ve managed to unlock all of them by increasing your Runner Level.
>The Critical Incident will allow you to attempt the more complicated zone activities like Upper Complex in Night Marsh, or the Pinwheel in Outpost, or even some new challenges like fighting the Tick Queen in Perimeter.
>If you’ve managed to survive your Run Series, you have the option to cash out your rewards or keep it going to see how far you can progress, so you can keep using that broken build you managed to source on your runs.
>Looking to mobilize some extra gear for your next Extraction run? Be sure to bank your credits to purchase gear to take into your next live fire exercise and put some XP to use by buffing up your Cradle. All said and done, Flash Boosts and other gear that you pick up during Expedition, will be sold upon the completion of your Run Series – but, your credits and XP will still live on and help you in other, less survivable areas.

>With Phase 1, each faction will have their own set of loadouts specializing in different playstyles and weaponry. Although the loadout will be locked per run series, weapons and items can be looted or improved on your runs until you reset the series.
>You’ll start with basic faction loadout and as you progress, you’ll be able to unlock faction upgrades to continually improve your starting faction loadout.
>Apart from your loadout, the main drivers for power progression and buildcrafting in the run series are your Flash Boosts. These can be looted from around the zones, killing a tough foe, or completing objectives. And each can be upgraded by stacking multiples of the same flash boost, increasing their rarity and potency.
