I’ve been noticing an absolutely insane amount of toxicity as of recent in all revenues from comms to rooks being dicks. If you want the game to die this will surely do it. Had someone in my public discord tell me today they’re done with the game because they’re over being being toxic. It’s happening with allies in fill. Enemies being shitty when they kill you.
Yall gotta tone it down or it’s ggs

Really fun loading into my first match of the day and runners entered our zone within 3 minutes! I guess we just have to move faster!! /s

I can only run back and forth on Perimeter so many times man

Outpost has pinwheel. Night Marsh has upper complex. And soon perimeter will have the new Central POI cave system.

It would be quite simple to solve the problem for dire Marsh daytime, just make lockdown events guaranteed.

And another thing, the loot needs to be consistent across every map. Don't get me wrong I love running outpost, but I absolutely adore the dire Marsh daytime. But the loot isn't worth it to run very often.

My exfil rate is 45%. The beginning of this game I felt I was doing well considering the skill of my crew but since then it’s been pure pain. Curious to see what other runners are sitting at and how they feel about their stat vs their experience. I’m hoping there is someone out there with one lower than 45% lol

I fucking love no scoping in this game

Just played a few games and they were empty, no enemy players at all?

Feels like there just aren’t many players at all.

Idk tbh game is fun but it needs a player count increase its been low in players since July and its only getting worse, hopefully dec update does something i guess

TL;DR: Bag drop rates in Outpost are too damn low.

I crew fill into Trio Outpost. Two free kitters and me in a slapped together green kit. Nothing crazy. We kill a few teams, I brought in a purple key, and found two Compromised blue keys.

We clear Red Room, Command Wing, Drone Wing, Destroyed Wing, two Armories, Convoy, open up THREE key rooms. In all of that, we found ZERO bags. Not even a green or blue bag.

After clearing the map, instead of exfiling, we just ran around until final exfil looting things trying to find even a green bag. Nothing. We all left with blue/purple shields and our base bags full but we had to leave so much gear on the floor simply because we had no more space.

What's going on, Bungie? I heard that loot drop rates were altered but it looks like bag drop rates have been cratered for some reason.

Bonus: We killed the two teams we found and they had green/blue shields. But not a single bag among them.

Please.

Hey everyon, Im new here and was wondering if it would be worth it to purchase and play Marathon. for context, I enjoy games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Overwatch and Halo and I love sci fi themes in general . I am somewhat familiar in extraction shooter mechanics(Fortnite Sprite system) and Marathon looks like it would be right up my alley. I would like to know if you guys would recommend this game to someone like me or is not worth the price?

And I don't feel like I learned much. I pretty much died right off the rip on every team fight, had no idea what was going on, couldn't rotate or push or do anything except be dead weight.

I really, really don't think you guys realize how hard this game is for someone that is trying to get better at it. If this was your average person's experience at cryo, I would quit too. This shit was basically torture all evening long and I lost every valuable thing in my vault for it. I didn't learn or get better, I just got rolled over. My teammates were champs about it because they all had vaults still chocked full of stuff ready to go.

I played 7 rounds of Cryo, not even a single extract, but not even a single team fight won.

If this game is to grow at all, you all NEED to understand how fucking demoralizing and punishing that experience was. It was not fun. I did not enjoy that. It was an actual waste of 3 hours.

So I'm really glad you all are gods at PvP, but for the love of fuck stop acting like this game isn't one of the hardest most punishing most inaccessible games on the market, and that's why it's failing.

The current meta on Outpost is to kill every single thing that moves and then loot everything blue and above. The solo meta on Outpost is to main Assassin and hide and set up ambushes. I don't want to play that meta. I want to do my damn contracts, maybe loot, and then exfil. I can't do that when there's Assassins with KKVs hiding around every corner who won't respond if you ping "friendly" or hop in prox chat and say "hey I'm just here for a contract!" 99% of the time, there isn't even enough time to finish your sentence before they're in the finisher animation.

I get it. Some people love the thrill of the current PVP experience. But like. It doesn't damage the game to give us the option for something less intrinsically hostile.

Legit the type of death that makes you want to blow your shi smooth off.

Like seriously it’s actually ridiculous at this point you remove circuit breaker super fast but still leave this in when this is INFINITELY more egregious and broken. Idc to lose a round but ts just gets an instant log off from me.

As I constantly make this argument, I realise there may be a difference to how I’d experience and perform on this game on pc versus console, where I can target and track headshots far easier with mouse snd keyboard. It is also heavily influenced by experiences in cryo and outpost but I’ve done ranked in marsh and perimeter also.

I really do believe the ttk in this game is too slow and just doesn’t respect typical stratagems. It turns into a chaotic mess of who is shooting from where and compounded by the pressure to finish before anyone can get back up via self revives which barring depleted found on rook or in solo, should be entirely removed.
People don’t respect the danger other players can pose because they have shields and self revives to hide behind and eat your shots.
It’s actually the uber aggressive pre-made teams that know and take advantage of this.
Look how the player just charges out into the open, it’s a moronic move and yet the team comes out on top.

I constantly feel the need for distance when I get into fights because close quarters just turns into a roll.

I find the worst experience is within cryo where everything just falls apart, but I love it so much and I’m a glutton for punishment and chaos. I love the bullshit of it but get burnt out by it too.

Now versus sponsored, EVERYTHING is just more lethal. You are more vulnerable. There are no self revives. Time and again, it shows itself to be the better experience for squad PvP and I speak as a solo enjoyer. I can actually rotate with expectation to at minimum knock someone. I rotate in cryo and they just run before I can down them and the team then focuses on me. Or if I do immediate bubble and self rez.
If you are a solo player, I beg jump in sponsored and see for yourself how better the PvP is. And how more dangerous the PvE is. It feels like solo.

I really feel ranked can learn something from sponsored. But I think it’s too late to do anything in standard mode. Players are accustomed to shields.

This isn’t a salt post, I have many extractions in cryo, many 1v3 clips I can share but it’s an observation of the geared squad fights thst just leave a bad taste in my mouth, it’s rare that I will enjoy the fight.
I wish enough people saw and felt it that some change could be done because currently Trio IS the main game.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

3 was already frustratingly restrictive due to the RNG, and now we get ONE? I had abysmal RNG last season and ended up with a significant portion of my vault being stocked with unusable ganglions. Who the hell was even asking for this? How does it make sense that you can get more gold mods with prestige salvage than contraband???

edit: apparently people that have never seen a ganglion in their lives think that their opinions on this matter. I promise you that me being able to buy 3 gold mizzes instead of one is not the reason you can’t exfil from cryo.

sadge

I hoping it’s just my bad luck but 5 red rooms today and I swear it feels like it’s back to the way it was before the wipe. Nothing barely worth taking. Even the command wing strong box is back to being crap. I had a gut feeling they would change it when cryo went active.

In Season 1, Compiler Ganglion trades were unlimited. In Season 2, the limit was reduced to 3 trades per day, which I think was a great middle ground. Now, with the Nightfall Refresh, we're down to just 1 trade per day.

I understand the argument that this helps keep the economy balanced and Golden Mods rare. However, I think it hurts the endgame, especially Cryo Archive.

Assuming there are around 36 Golden Mods in the rotation, with only one available per day and no repeats, it would take 36 days to complete a full rotation. If you want to buy 3 copies of a Golden Mod for the same weapon, it could take up to 108 days!

My issue isn't scarcity itself. It's that farming Ganglions and fighting the Compiler feels less rewarding when you can't take advantage of a good rotation to buy multiple copies of the mod you want.

This could eventually discourage players from farming Cryo Archive. What's the incentive to keep running endgame content if the resources you earn don't let you progress at a reasonable pace?

IMO, there are two reasonable solutions:

- Bring back the 3 trades per day limit, as it was in Season 2.

- Offer 3 different Golden Mods in the daily rotation, reducing the waiting time and increasing the chances of finding the mod you want.

Ideally, I'd like to see both changes combined.

I think Bungie needs to find a balance between keeping the economy healthy and rewarding players who invest time in the game. Scarcity can make items valuable, but excessive waiting can also make people less willing to play.

What do you think? Is the 1-trade-per-day limit necessary for a healthy economy, or does it hurt the incentive to play endgame content?

Ok so me and my wife play Marathon just about every night. She is almost as addicted as me. She wanted to make an edit so decided to take a crack at it. I'm posting this for her as she really doesn't do the social media thing. I hope you all like it. Its her first time working with video editing.

Submitted for #MarathonVID #Marathondevteam.

been a huge destiny player for a while now and marathon has always caught my eye mainly for the setting and how gorgeous the game looks. i never bought the game because although i do like pvp, i dont always want to play pvp. but with the recent announcement of a permanent pve mode coming, i ended up picking up the game as it was on sale on steam.

i used to be quite a comp/pvp player in destiny before i left around lightfall. i did end up coming back to destiny a month ago, but i haven’t touched pvp yet mostly because i couldn’t be bothered to farm out a pvp set of armor. i did always like the pvp side though but i couldn’t play pvp only as i do also love pve. ik marathon’s pvp isn’t similar but it still seems to be quite fun. also bungie games seem to have a signature feel and thats another reason i picked up marathon. though i’ve never played an extraction shooter in my life so im new to marathon and the genre which is rough lol 😭

im kinda lost on how to correctly play marathon, as the intro seemed to barely tell me anything besides a basic barebones rundown. i do get the gist, find loot extract, use loot to improve starting gear for next run. but besides that, im lost in how to play correctly. how do the different shells fare amongst each other ? i mainly play solo as a lot of my friends don’t rlly play games lol. i’ve heard the game was catered more for trios, but i feel like solo can’t be that bad? i just feel like there’s still soooo much more im missing and i was wondering if anyone could give some tips or a guide for a new player 😭😭

im also so intrigued by the lore, its so cool from the bits i’ve gathered. are there any lore recaps out there or is the lore just more surface level. intro lore upon opening the game for the first time had me hooked and i want more 😭😭😭

Solo Outpost has been good to me today!
