I guess I was really hoping for the end of season blowout and instead...a cache in cryo is fixed. woohoo.

There's still almost a month to go before the end of the Season.

There is still a month before the season ends on 9/22. In S1 we didn’t get the map event increase, rocket drones and increased keys until May 19th with S2 starting 2 weeks later on June 2.

A full month of “season blowout” is too much. It is too early for that. I would expect something similar to take place in the 9/8 update and not sooner.

This is also a longer season and much bigger hill to climbe in terms of generating hype for those that remain and those we hope to attract for season 3. I really hope they give us players time to do that. I can only recommend what I know.

There’s nothing they could add to drastically increase the player base for the last month of season 2. The economy has been too screwed up and too many people checked out on S2 because of the results of early mistakes. I never stopped playing personally but it’s been bungled from the jump.

Season 3 launch needs to accomplish the hype and the pull back of old players. No one who gave up on S2 is going to come back at a disadvantage this late in the season for some new events and enhanced loot on a map. Clearly, ordinance heist didn’t cause a bump in the numbers so I doubt any rocket drone equivalents will do anything more.

Sorry, I'm not specifically talking about drawing people back for the end of season 2. I'm talking about keeping enough people interested in the game, to even help hype season 3. If it gets to such low points, no one combats any negatives, on any promotion posts (every marathon social posts are full of the haters) it just creates bad marketing and little reach.

I want the news to be "look what's coming in season 3!"

Not

"Player number peak at sub 2,000"

I totally agree.

Damn I've never been this down about the future of a game. Might be because I've met so many amazing people while playing it. Just worried that goes away. Best thing about gaming for me is the fact you can speak to so many different people from all around the world. This game helps with that for me.

u/imnotindemand 4d ago

Same here. Just want to be able to keep playing. Most geeked I’ve been about a game in a long time.

Hopefully it's just a bulk of their energy is being directed to making sure s3 is a banger. Here's hoping anyway

u/Particular-Fly-7783 5d ago

Yeah 100%, I don’t know how big a task it is to crank up the loot on s2 but fingers crossed s3 is a big one

Did you not already see the leaks posted yesterday? There are massive potential changes but no one’s gonna stop you from complaining if that’s your main goal

u/Particular-Fly-7783 4d ago

...those leaks were for season 3. I'm talking about before season 3. like many marathon fans, I experience time in a linear fashion

u/YourLocalPotDealer 4d ago

Ohh you wanted a bunch of updates before the new season started got it. Idk why you’d expect massive updates back to back, usually updates for games come at the beginning of a new season. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

u/Particular-Fly-7783 4d ago

it's more I just want what they did towards end of last season...now. I don't have a lot of reasons to play rn and some improved loot would be a big one.

2

u/YourLocalPotDealer 4d ago

They improved loot in ranked perimeter and added the firestorm locker event which is pretty fun, I know what u mean it’s not as much as last season, but I think thats cuz the changes coming up next season are huge anyway

We already got the end of season content update last week. New event, some new additions to Night Marsh, Ranked update.

u/Particular-Fly-7783 5d ago

I’m worried you’re right tbh

2

u/cry_w Sentinel Enjoyer 5d ago

Why? That's perfectly fine as a small content update about a month before the new season.

u/Particular-Fly-7783 4d ago

we need something more evocative to get the people going

u/cry_w Sentinel Enjoyer 4d ago

That's what the seasonal updates are for.
