{New Work | music + artwork} RYAN LOTT — CODE RACE | SHIELDS “SEALED MOUTH OF A CICADA” BOOTLEG I had to take a crack at this one. In honor of launch, and the whole creative team @bungie's insane work on this new game, here's my take on the instant classic theme track

@iShieldMaiden_ I really think this discourse has been framed wrong — it’s not a “casual” vs “hardcore” binary. What bungie needs to solve is how to keep the core engaged players who aren’t in the top 10% of skill + RNG + same in teammates from having their spirits completely crushed

This is what's hard. Im genuinely asking the pvp sphere - how do you keep casuals interested in a game where the rich get richer? The better you are, the more you win, the more you win, the better the gear, where do casuals fit?

@giancar73012035 The unfortunate truth is that we all know Bungie is gonna cave, and instead of keeping PvP the main focus, Marathon will get a PvE mode that pulls almost all of the low skill/casual audience out of PvP, which will increase queue times and ping. Welcome to Destiny 2: 2.

@giancar73012035 There is a genuinely enormous dynamic range available between what this game is now and anything remotely “casual” and the gap is only growing

Basically, the feedback I'm seeing is that they want to turn Marathon into Hello Kitty Adventures so that dads who play for an hour a day have a chance to beat Cryo Archive. Sacrificing the game's entire identity just to keep extreme casual players happy is a terrible idea.

Ok ok I think maybe we need to talk about how Cryo Archive feels fucking impossible even for many premade three stacks of really decent players with good gear and lots of experience in PVP games and bungie games in particular

I had to learn by trial and error that they don’t work like that in the first few hours of play, despite the early contracts feeling exactly like tutorials for a real in game function

Marathon doesn’t need safe pockets- hear me out, it needs an Outpost style keycard system on all maps that would allow you to actually use DCONs to beam upgrade materials and valuables back to your vault @MarathonDevTeam
Meep@Meepulous77

@giancar73012035 Yeah, its crazy that a safe pocket for 1 item can do, so you dont just lose absolutely everything. Nobody is expecting a casual experience, it would hurt the game, but most gamers dont want to have the same experience as slamming their hand in a car door repeatedly w/ every death

It continues to be hilarious to watch the Bungie game mid to low effort engagement farm news aggregation complex vaugely attribute things to “Forbes” as if its not always something Paul Tassi reported on two weeks ago

@JellybackJoe I feel like lots of them are. I definitely have done every triage and destroyer triumph as worded and don’t have shadow index unlocked for ether.

I think the criteria for this is more specific than the triumph lets on. Anyone know what's up? I think it might have to be a high amount of damage or specifically damage from players bc I've definitely blocked damage while exfiltrating

@crescenswings i did not expect this offhand and grind-deranged comment to be liked one hundred times, but for the record I acknowledge there are spawn problems on Dire Marsh lmao

@crescenswings Dire marsh itself is absolutely fine, the problem is the mad priority contact designer with the stuck command-v keys that just kept pasting in take {item} to bio-research, then to quarantine
