Hello guardians! I have created a website where you can share and discover in game loadouts with other players. blackarmory.app #Destiny2

Marathon’s mercy kits were designed to make players nicer; instead, players are just killing people twice as much frvr.com/blog/marathon-…

@KatamariPossum @MarathonTheGame @Ziegler_Dev skIlL iSsUeeeeEeeeeEeee

can we please address the grenade spam that has been terrorizing cryo for 3 weeks now? it's so boring shooting at a team and then having a backpack's worth of bombs thrown at me @MarathonTheGame @Ziegler_Dev

@ToxicWillow506 @CoolRunnersClub I saw player, he was in my line of sight near flight control, I tossed that spider right into him and instead of going into player, he started randomly moving between turrets and then just blow up in the middle of the street. He didn't even blow up a fckin turret.

@smashboyhere @CoolRunnersClub Well depends on how you're using it, if you're tossing it at a wall or at your feet and hoping it goes after somebody nearby it won't work, you're better off tossing it at people so it gains line of sight, it'll chase them more consistently that way

Recon buffs are solid, but only a minimal change in her strength compared to other Runners. better intel is helpful, and spidey is more reliable. the best change is more a nerf to Signal Jammers, not fully hiding them from Pulse is great. her benefit to teams went up for sure.

@slimeykhan @CoolRunnersClub I was throwing it literally up to 10 meters into players that I had direct visible contact with. In first case he was moving like an idiot between turrets on the Outpost and he couldn't decide which way to go.

@smashboyhere @CoolRunnersClub Definitely just your experience😂. You must be using it stupidly. If you think you can just throw it anywhere and without any purpose ofc it’ll do nothing. If you have an idea where people are and you place it right it works wonders. I went from like a 40% of it hitting to 80%

@EndlessGl Because one game has proper game director and other has invisible cunt that transported all critical communication with community to dmg.

It feels like D2 players are saying “We want Steady Hand” and D2 Dev Team is saying “Here’s Finite!” We complained about Thermals in Marathon and they literally got rid of ALL the easy-to-get Thermals in the game. Why do the two teams feel THIS different?

I guess this is, like, the main difference between Marathon and Destiny comms. Marathon changes seem to be based on things we’re actually saying. Destiny comms seem to be out of nowhere? Like, I’ve never seen anybody ask about Finite Impactor. Steady Hand has been SCREAMED about.

@PRODWNDRFL @PaulTassi Brotha, who told u that d2 team is larger? Right now its probably one intern and his dog.

@PaulTassi Has to be engine related right? How is the marathon team able to make changes so fast when the destiny team is larger? Or are they just not doing anything lmao

June is the promised land for all things Destiny

Is it me or Recon spider drone is still complete dog shit if not even worse after latest patch? #marathon

@fflitzer Watahell

And they said the skins are just "recolors" This is NUTS

@AstralThought @Nikkitavia Brotha, we are talking about shield icons. How prev design was hard to distinguish?

@smashboyhere @Nikkitavia It was a large complaint among players that implants where hard to distinguish. I don't think so personally. But the change has no negative impact whatsoever

Old shield had so much sauce

@DavidK16060436 @Vidartepng @Skarrow9 Wdym different? They reworked system in destiny like each season and expansion when nobody asked them and this "limited time" thing is absolutely the same thing. Instead of keeping what works, bungie once again going to completely butcher good stuff and replace it with a dog shit

@Vidartepng @smashboyhere @Skarrow9 Exactly what happened with destiny, no wonder they do it differently now

Woah, the C.A.R.R.I event incentivizes solos/rooks and teams to work together. I did not see that coming haha Also a consumable that lets you revive enemy players sounds like it could lead to some very cool interactions. And a new event title Excited to check all of this out!

@_KeanuReaves @DeathstormDAG @Ziegler_Dev No, this thing should apply only to other shell runs. It doesnt make sense to apply this system on rooks.

@smashboyhere @DeathstormDAG @Ziegler_Dev Well that means Rooks can only spawn in Perimeter.

UPDATE: FREE KIT FRENZY - EXPERIMENTAL QUEUE - DIRE MARSH SPONSORED Thank you to all of you who participated in the Duos Experiments we've had over the past few weeks. We're currently working on making duos a real feature in Season 2 and are diligently working on delivering that to all of you who are eagerly awaiting its return. ABOUT EXPERIMENTAL QUEUES: The experimental queue is a time limited queue that allows us to preview features in development with you, often with a less-than-complete feature set. This queue allows the Marathon development team to learn and obtain feedback that helps us deliver a more completed feature set down the line. For the sake of queue health and focus we only run one experimental queue at a time. Once we have learned enough to understand our next steps for this feature, we start work on finalizing the feature and move on to the next experiment. Your participation in any experiment is greatly appreciated and is very helpful to us in developing features down the line. THE NEXT EXPERIMENT: What happens when you bring a knife... to a knife fight? For our next experiment, starting Wednesday, 4/15 at 10AM PT, we will be enabling the Dire Marsh - Sponsored Queue. This is a new experimental queue that is focused on learning a bit more about our early gear ecosystem. In this queue all players will enter with a free sponsored kit and be challenged to use what they find on Dire Marsh to upgrade themselves and get out! Details below. DIRE MARSH SPONSORED Details: The experiment will run for approximately 2 weeks, from 4/15 @ 10AM PT to 4/29 @ 10AM PT. We may change the end timing depending on anything we discover along the way that might warrant us to make an adjustment. --You will only be eligible to enter the queue if you (and your crew) have a free sponsored kit (white tier) equipped. --You can enter as a premade duo (crew fill off), premade trio, or crew fill into a trio. --The queue will only be for the Dire Marsh Zone. --To enter this queue, you can select "Dire Marsh Sponsored" from the zone list. What we will be observing and looking to understand: --How the game plays out with low fixed set gear conditions and caps. --How the zero to hero play works in low starting set gear conditions and caps. --Any technical issues that arise. There are many other changes and additions coming on Wednesday 4/15 PT as well so stay tuned to learn more from the Marathon Discord, and across all the social channels for MarathonTheGame / MarathonDevTeam. Thanks everyone. We appreciate your passion and all the commitment you have to providing us feedback and helping us learn more to evolve Marathon!

@_KeanuReaves @DeathstormDAG @Ziegler_Dev Can u explain why?

@smashboyhere @DeathstormDAG @Ziegler_Dev Its an interesting thought but I think this would destroy the Rook role a bit.

@DeathstormDAG @Ziegler_Dev I'm yelling on twitter for days now, that this game should have min/max loadout value to enter based on maps. Maps with better loot should have higher requirement for your loadout to enter. This system should be implemented for each map, not only Cryo.

Howdy, Mr. Ziegler, I have a question. Have you guys thought about possibly limiting what kind of loot can go into starting maps like perimeter? It’s something that I was talking about with a couple buddies of mine, I’ve noticed that a lot of higher tier teams will come into perimeter and use it as target practice on newer players. I understand there is a hard-core experience you’re trying to cultivate, but I think it would be interesting if places like perimeter were lots of new players start, had a “don’t you think you’re too looted to be here” system. Like say, the highest level of shield, you can have is blue, or any loadout past a certain value can’t go in. Kind of like the reverse of what you have on Cryo. I think it would ease a lot of the starting pains new players have. I would love to know your opinion.

man this is my favorite SHOTGUN

@gomyhealngdrone Min/max loadout value per map

how do you fix dying every run until you have no more purples and blues then dying to purples on free kits bc thats all thats happening i dont even have shotgun rook so I cant spam rook outpost I dont think I'm made for extraction shooters

@dillonatm @Maltyversee Game should allow players to slowly come back and build their inventory. Right now it is difficult, because there is no separation by skill or loot value. You go on Perimeter, map that bungie called "begginer friendly" and u just get absolutely demolished by dudes with cryo guns

@Maltyversee I don't mind casuals, and i'm all for accessibility But a lot of what I see boils down to "This game is kicking my ass and if the bar isn't lowered or player agency isn't nerfed the game will die" which is just not the case

The Marathon dev team has been so responsive that now people feel emboldened to tell them why the game needs to be changed for their selfish whims

@AugBChillin @the_abduco @eaonns Arena Breakout Infinite has similar system and it works really good, this game has this system, but only for Cryo and it doesnt work, because enter fee is too low for such high end map.

@smashboyhere @the_abduco @eaonns Awful take

Something needs to be done about matchmaking against fully kitted players with free kits. The amount of times I want to just load into a free kit run to get some better gear for cryo or something and just die within 3 minutes to a fully kitted team is unreal
