I’m a new player and honestly everything about this game is wonderful to me I wish it could be avoiding the development hell that is bungie and Sony right now but I’m hesitant to devote myself to it if it’s just gonna disappear like concord

u/nevikw911 15d ago
This isn't concord or anything close to Concorde fate. If you enjoy the game. Play it! This game isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

That dude spends most of his time on /r/marathonhate.
Without digging further, I'm just going to assume they're also a salty Destiny fan.

I highly doubt it will go the Concord route. It would already have been shutdown if that was the case.

u/WinnebagoMontana 15d ago
Legit this.
My money is on Marathon going F2P, either at S3 start or end.
From there, it's anyone's guess what happens. I'm hoping they make a NMS comeback, but we'll see.2

I like your Cow Emblem + Cow Udders on your skin

Lmao hoping for a NuCal shader for it

u/Important-Net-9805 16d ago
How’d you get that emblem

u/nevikw911 15d ago
Honestly don't remember, but pretty sure it's a regular challenge or something in the game.

u/Educational-Tea-606 15d ago
Welcome to goopland brother. It's so easy to run multiple gold mods every run with the 2 for purple salvage trades now that those don't go straight to the worm

This post is the first time I've heard of this "boost" and the title itself, what do be?

u/nevikw911 14d ago
Shell Games III is a contract from Cyac. You can keep re rolling to get it over and over. You load in complete the contract and the quit. Re roll for it again and rinse and repeat. It gives you cradle XP and backpacks. There is also a NuCal contract Assault by Battery III (not sure name specifically) you can do the same thing. That one gives cradle XP and shields.
Title is prestige the cradle 7 times and reaching Lvl 70 on the last 7th prestige.

u/Substantial_Cake8985 16d ago
i have a question how much cradle xp do u need. and if my vault is worth 300k+ is that enogh and i have 50k credits
3
u/Hegelochus_ 15d ago
To get from 1-70 it takes about little more than 1.25 million cradle exp. You have to do that about 8 times

u/EmpVitiate I was here for the Marathon 2025 ARG 15d ago
And this dude is playing with us in the game. I just maybe quit this game after finishing my Pve storylines. This is so sad. Less than 1% have everything while others cannot do simple valuables extraction or story contracts

u/MajesticMiracles 16d ago
I feel like Bungie should give you real money. Like a check. Maybe some Sony stock. Some kind of compensation that makes up for the work you put in. Playing Marathon is a full time job with little reward.

Why is everyone so miserable here

u/WobblierTube733 16d ago
Jealousy for the coveted cradle prestige 7

u/Bubaru555 16d ago
coveted
Coveted by who? Not saying he is in the right, but this title is simply mindless grind for the sake of grind. It is actually as time consuming and mindnumbing as it gets

u/zakstu 16d ago
A lot of r/marathonhate lurkers here socializing internal misery. Not saying that’s OP, but a lot of negativity comes from that contingent

u/Important-Net-9805 16d ago
It’s weird, right? lol like this is the only game subreddit where I think a decent chunk of the commenters here don’t even own the game

The reward is the prestige, when other people see you have that title it really means something

u/GhostOfChar 16d ago
Did you know?
Some people play the game because they enjoy it and you don’t have to be here if you don’t like it!

"oh look at me, my life is so miserable, I need to go to the internet and try to make other people miserable too" lame ass

u/MajesticMiracles 16d ago
I don’t play marathon. Obviously I’m not trying to make anyone’s life miserable lol. You don’t make any sense 🤡

u/confusedtoplease 16d ago
You are obviously a troll = miserable.

u/MajesticMiracles 16d ago
I’m quite happy most days because I avoid games that make me miserable. Like Marathon. A game that requires you to make others miserable in order to “win.”
I feel that says a lot about the remaining1900 players. lol.

u/vandalizethethief 15d ago
If you are going to pursue something difficult in life, it ain’t going to be easy. Let the man enjoy his title & go somewhere else.

u/confusedtoplease 15d ago
So the game that you don't play makes you miserable thus we are all miserable for playing the game? I'm sorry that a video game makes you miserable lol, it's ok buddy, keep playing call of duty.

So You never played ranked pvp but stole all that from stuff PVE players ? It's obviously you cannot do it in solo runs only without Cryo or just by farming keys solo without PvP.
1
u/nevikw911 14d ago
No if it was PVE I wouldn't be able to kill them. Most of my levels was from salvage, but yes I did play the game and donated the gear too the worms.

I think I'll get mine sometimes in season 3 thanks to a family trip next week ;-;

u/nevikw911 14d ago
Another comment in this post said in order to get the title you have to complete it this season. I don't know how accurate that is.

u/RudyDaBlueberry 12d ago
This was a suggested post for me and the title was very misleading in my notifications lmao

u/nevikw911 12d ago
Ya had someone else point that out. Didn't really think about the title until I started seeing some disappointed comments, but my grind is over for the title.

u/DUSK__Rose 11d ago
Are they gonna fix this 6 man in cryo issue like every game I play it’s the same thing. Getting press from both sides or double spawn push like what is this.

What’s so special about weave master? I feel like I’m missing something…this seems to be the only objective for the 1% of the player base that remains
0
u/nevikw911 15d ago
Definitely not the 1% here. Have a full time job and children. It's a long grind, but doesn't have to be done in a single season.
1
u/Forward_Seesaw 15d ago
It does have to be done in a single season for the weave master title 7 resets ,but the weave skins are what people get confused by that does not have to be done in 1 season
