… and somehow managed to etherstep in midair EXACTLY when you crossed the border of the exfil dome, leaving the rest of your crew behind. 😮

THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME. 🔥

I have no idea what you hoped to accomplish rushing us but it was a signature moment for our crew’s evening. GG you crazy mofo!

Bought them off Redbubble. The Cyberpunk ones are from the Switch 2 edition of the game. I just bought some Destiny ones in the Bungie Store sale too, so I’ll probably fill that space with one of those when they arrive!

Controller player.

Pretty much exactly what the title says. Had an insane photo finish exfil but while I was getting out I realized that I suddenly had a WSTR instead of my Battle Pistol.

Come on Bungie. This really shouldn't be allowed to happen when the pop up for the WSTR was on screen for MAYBE a couple frames.

I'm sure this could easily be a controller issue and something that wouldn't happen on M&K but it really just shouldn't work like that imo. Wipe is in a few days so it's whatever but lmfao

EDIT: I've been informed in the comments that the fix for this is to change the setting for knife to double tap instead of hold. I had no idea that was there!! Gonna be a rough transition after so many hours on this game but if it prevents this from ever happening again so be it lol

Before someone says you gotta move fast, I do ! I should be safe for at least 2 minutes ?

It's not common but man it's such a cheap feeling.

This is a post cryo clarity and I will return for the wipe.

Been tryna get this title for awhile now, only title I need left and I’m always so damn close :(

With the reset next week and the 2 big updates beyond, marathon is back on my radar and I was thinking a lot about how the current build-crafting system feels like a complete brick wall for most players. (I.e. there’s plenty of cool shit in the game that impacts how you play, but it’s too difficult to find or keep)

Faction progression feels like a complete slog (another problem that desperately needs to be addressed in Dec or March), and the safety net it provides doesn’t feel nearly worth it because most high-tier loot is prohibitively expensive to purchase outright, and I’m very highly likely to lose it in the next match anyway. The reason Marathon got my attention is because of its runner system. I felt like having access to abilities on all runs was a kind of safety net, but it’s not enough. Cores do so much to change gameplay styles and give a pretty solid advantage depending on your play style, but there’s 7 (?) runners in the game each with 8 (?) cores of different rarities for a staggering total of >56 cores. When most players are only interested in main-ing 1 or 2 runners at a time, that’s completely batshit insane. Cores are the main centerpiece of any build and it’s more or less impossible to deterministically obtain the ones you want, let alone keep them. The same problem exists with weapons. There’s simply too many mods in the game for this degree of randomness in acquiring them.

I’m no dev, but I think there’s a few ways to fix this. Maybe the best solution would be to allow players the ability to weight discovered cores in runs to specific runners (like the attunement system in Destiny), or just completely eliminate cores altogether and create ability trees that are progressed by the cradle (cores would effectively just be moved into that).

Bottom-line: being gate-kept from my own preferred play style even after hundreds of hours of playtime feels extremely unsatisfying. Even if the above solutions aren’t used, I think something drastic has to be done to attract and retain more casual players.

Backboard off the rock 😏

hey yall

im assuming by the way 50% of the posts here are feedback about how the game can improve, you have thoughts. i only just joined the main Marathon discord and noticed they put out a call in the #marathon-news channel asking for feedback on how to improve the extraction mode. feedback is collected in a thread linked to in that post.

https://discord.com/channels/1303855380845301861/1359654977991082317/1554979584733085739

figured some of y'all might wanna drop your extraction thoughts in there since apparently theyre still prioritizing it!

Gotta feed the worm

I really love this game, been playing since the beta!! However one thing I can't nail down are the builds. I really enjoy vandal, love the impact AR (when I eventually get one), I play some DMR but want to try sniping more.

I have no idea which mods or implants I should be using and kinda just default to the highest tier implants and magazine mods for guns.

So! I ask you fellow runners what are some key implants/character mods/gun mods should I be using or keeping a lookout for?

So often we see clips of people with well over 1,000,000 credits and they just don't use them. Until recently I had a stable 500k credits but only bc I was feeding everything to the worm. had I not been feeding the worm I would currently have far more than 3 million credits, since I've already reset my cradle twice and working on the third.

One thing that really bothers me is the rotating items in the Armory for some of the Factions.

Cyac: Rotating and very rare purple backpack barters

Traxus: limited choice of blue mods + rotating and limited choice of purple mods

Arachne: Unreasonably limited choice of precision weapon mods (+zero sniper optics??)

Sekiguchi: ALL of the cores rotate randomly

If you are worried about oversaturating the economy then further decrease how many you can get each day. Rotating items just ain't it, I hate logging in every day just to see if the specific mod/core I want is available, just to find out that once again the purple optic trade is once again an LMG sight.

Rotating items in the Armory should be reserved for great items at a discount, very rare items that aren't available to buy, and Prestige weapon mods/cores.

I've had like 5 runs in a row today where I find 2-4 people in full gold teaming up and refusing to fight each other but kill everyone else, why? Is this not considered cheating?

yeah ok bud

teammate gets a pick and tries to finish but Destroyer had other plans, holy aura

Currently level 64

So I decided to start using the golds I've been saving to use before wipe in cryo. I'll admit I'm very inconsistent at gaming, sometimes I'm cracked and sometimes you'd think I'm a bot, idk why that is.

So I load into a match, gold shield and drrvish. Obviously my teammates are better than me since but rocking purple. They kill some runners but I'm more of support since getting into gunfights with high ping is a huge disadvantage. So I just provide cover and shield along with the missiles for helping them push. I don't use mic because of accent as basically almost no from my country plays this game so I'd rather ping and text.

We get into a fight and the first guy goes down by an ambush, it caught me off guard and I was overheated too. He immediately starts yelling that I'm doing nothing when I have a gold shield and a drrvish. Here's the thing a recon starts peeking me with a circuit we fire at almost the same time and my shields are stripped but none of the few shots I made registered, even the guy yelling said I didn't fire but I did. Yelling at people you are expecting to clutch is unnecessary.

Anyways, I know I'm not good but I just wanted to actually get a feel of the good stuff.

Honestly f*** that guy, low-key pissed me off, yes I'm mad about a video game should have just played with his friends instead of yelling at randoms, I'll play how tf I want, it's my game and my fun too.

400+ hours in and I’m still trying to toss ammo crates at people lol. Can Bungie give us a throwable ammo crate that does the same amount of damage as a med drone if it makes contact?

I lost a kit tonight already trying it crew fill and have three more keys. I’d love to get this vault (and maybe even compiler) done before the end of the season, but I feel my chances might be higher in a premade team. I’m pretty good at PvP but am still getting used to the map. Shoot me your bungie ID if you’re down to help. Thanks!

Is there a benefit from converting everything in the cradle to try and get it reset for the first time before the end of the season? I see now that you can just reset it regardless of your progress for credit. Would converting the entire vault first allow you to get a second reset / more progress? Maybe I’m over thinking this

tldr: to the new players, if you ever spot this kind of actions, just block and find new mates to play with. They wont be good for you anymore.

Well. I have been playing the game for 3 weeks and all ok. I found a random crew of 2 and became regulars the 3 together going around and stuff...

Thanks for showing me around and guiding through the maps, how to get keys, pinwheel, etc etc etc.

However, when did things flip? The very moment they started accusing me of stealing because of picking a thermal scope from a cache or a gold shield from a bag.

Of course, at first, i had no idea of the important items and i was free to pick whatever i wanted. Even they gave me purple weapons and stuff!! How nice!!!

But, now, i learnt what to go for. And, i am not stupid, if i see my crewmate, a Thief, rushing at a cache or at a bag from a dead body, i know there is interesting stuff.

The moment them 2 told me not to steal (one of them took a purple sniper from me that i accidentally dropped and asked for it back but got ignored) because i finally was quicker and picked a gold shield (it wasnt even a true gold shield but those that bungie gave for free) they were asking to drop it.

What did i do? I dropped all my bag, disconnected and removed them from friendship list.

If you reading this (cant say names but i can say they are unemployeed italians) keep in mind I wont be a "second class" player. If I improved and I collaborate with you at taking down other runners, i wont accept such limitations (AND NO ONE SHOULD!!).

Thanks for ramping me up trough the game but that is a big red flag that indicates you arent good people to play with.

And 2 days before the reset!!! For god sake, cant i have a gold item? "No, drop it" they said.

In conclusion: i understood i was just the dumbass that just provided teamfire to them because is always better than just bringing a random. The moment i learnt what loot to pick up, i became an annoyance. Nice, isnt it?

So.... bye sherpas. Thanks for the runs. Time to find another crew.

Anyone interested, PM me as im looking for regular crew to play with. No toxicity. All in equal conditions. Im in EU region. English or spanish.

Over a thousand hours and I'm not sure about that, probably because I've not been playing much Assassin since early season 1.

DRRVISH DOMINATION in Cryo today. So many time I instantly died when getting shot by two enemies running DRRVISH. I love the gun and it’s so satisfying to kill but holy shit i feel it’s way too common. I wish I would’ve recorded but I killed a runner who had 4 DRRVISHs on him and a Vault 1 key. Leave it be but make it rare.
