@MacticsG1 Problem is, that every time Bungie try’s to evolve the game the community revolts.

I feel marathon unfairly gets a lot of flak for "causing destiny's downfall" as many claim it did. Destiny has been heading down this road for quite some time. The franchise fatigue has consumed the playerbase. If it wants to thrive instead barely survive, it needs to evolve.

@TroyWindes @A_dmg04 Much like nobody cares about you little meme.

Iron Lord - Gilded x 11. Reward track complete. Still hunting some rolls.

@scalf_ @A_dmg04 Yes

@A_dmg04 What’s the max number of Iron Lord gildings, is it 11?

@DrStiz @A_dmg04 The armor doesn’t help that much. Just doing the dailies every day, the weekly, and using reroll tokens gets it done pretty quick.

@A_dmg04 I’m gonna guild but that reward track is tough on this one. Maybe cause I haven’t been wearing iron banner armor?

@drj1996 @A_dmg04 When they “promised” a road map, they said NEXT YEAR. It’s still that year so you have to patiently wait until 2027 to bitch about it.

@A_dmg04 Hell yeah. So how about that road map we were promised over a year ago. Yall just gonna keep acting like we forgot about it? Or was the road map just another tally on the list of lies yall constantly give us?

@TheDan562 @A_dmg04 You still only get 2 of those for free.

@A_dmg04 Hey man the token cost vs how many are available is so bad, and it’s clear that bungie makes you spend silver to get more tokens. One change that should be implemented is weapons only costing 30 tokens, that way you could buy 1 weapon a day without spending silver

@PaulTassi Wait, there’s a bonus for wearing IB gear? I thought they just got rid of that. I couldn’t find anywhere that it said the bonus amounts.

June is the promised land for all things Destiny

@KrystalDexth I honestly don’t miss it because I still play it. Can’t miss something that never went away.

Anyone else miss playing Destiny 2? Maybe its stockholm syndrome, but I genuinely miss the good times..

@JezCorden I don’t think the price has anything to do with COD or Fortnite.

Just curious. Would you remove Call of Duty and Fortnite Crew, etc. to get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate price lowered?

@tekzolltv1 @A_dmg04 I think it will come down a notch without the artifact mods.

@A_dmg04 Hot take: I love the lightsaber but it definitely needs nerfed going forward for the health of PVE

Two more days of GGs. Close to 30, need a deathless Rushdown run, and hunting for a fun PvP centric holo-fusion.

@rich_drummerboy @A_dmg04 Why is IB such a big deal to people? All it is is control w a different loot pool. IB really lost its charm when the made all the changes to casualize it. Removed power matters, removed bounties, etc.

@A_dmg04 Yall should make IB 2 weeks since its been gone for 6 months... just saying

Holo

@jaketapper Hahahahahahaha

@ADarkKnightt That was a great game.

I saw someone post a current steam player count for South of Midnight. Yall are genuinely insane. It came out a year ago on Xbox and Steam. It’s a single player game that takes like 12 hours to beat. Why THE HELL would you think it would be super active on steam still?

@TheRingCrypto @TheMoneyApe Which fuckheads? Is or them?

@LabradorBored @Jamessmokeeee I guess who’s expectations are we talking about? I haven’t seen any reports from Sony/Bungie yet on made or missed expectations. Have you?

@Jamessmokeeee No it dont hurt me.where you getting that ? . But the fact is its not meeting expectations. Never said it was a bad game or anything like that just stated an obvious fact its not meeting expectations. Do you really think they where shooting for less than 50000 player count ?

Review bombing Metacritic doesn’t work when the game is actually good. Marathon continues to exceed expectations.

@DarkIxion @mcneemem If Bungie/Sony came out and said that it was reaching expectations all the haters would just claim the are lying. No win situation so they might as well just keep quiet. Nd count their money.

@mcneemem It 100% is, I actually wish Bungie would come out and truth bomb them just to shut them up tbh, tired of people acting like they know what they’re talking about.

I have a question for the business experts on this app. If Bungie is on life support and Sony is pushing them to claw back the money they apparently lost, how come we don’t have another Eververse situation on our hands? There are virtually no micro-transactions at all, we get one bundle a week and it costs what, £10? Hardly breaking the bank. I mean, I wish they would add more skins to buy, especially with the aesthetic being a huge part of why people love this game. They just aren’t pushing micro-transactions on this game at all, weird for a company apparently heavily in the Red and at risk of liquidation. There are currently 8 bundles that you can buy in the store and 1 standard battle pass, no “black cell” equivalent or option to purchase tier skips. Funny 🧍‍♂️I figured if they were in the Red the way people keep saying they are, they’d actually monetise things? And this is just launch content, thinking long term, they’ll only add more skins, more battle passes, you see actual business experts think about the long term, that’s why they work at Sony and Bungie respectively. 1.2 Million copies sold, that doesn’t entail whether it is standard edition, deluxe edition, or collectors edition, so once again the sales revenue numbers won’t be accurate, if any of the numbers were to begin with. Also, for Bungie to of apparently banked their entire company on developing Marathon for the past six years and they’re heavily in the red, the game is oddly cheap, £40? I mean, if they priced it cheaply because they thought nobody would pay more than that with it being a niche genre, clearly they’re not worried, never expected it to be a massive payout, and have bigger things in development, I.e Destiny 3. The Bungie store is almost always sold out, restocked and sold out again, still waiting on getting the weaveworm plushie but that sells out almost instantly after multiple restocks, which tells you all you need to know, people are buying in troves. This game isn’t going anywhere but go ahead and waste your time staring steam charts all day, I’m at 160 Hours on Marathon and counting. #Marathon

@GIN_XSX Can we all just agree to play games we enjoy and not bitch about games we don’t?

At this point in time, can we just agree that Bungie must admit the failure of Marathon, leave it for good and release Destiny 2 expansion asap before it gets kicked out by Sony because no one is safe ffs?!

@LowmanLegend They didn’t change shit in D1. If you couldn’t do it, you didn’t get it. Should have stuck to that formula.

Thinking about the DCV era of destiny is genuinely just hilarious in retrospect, they were seriously going insane at that studio. The year and a half period from and after was the peak “accessibility era” for them when they turned an already pretty easy game into baby’s first looter shooter. Removing things like hotswapping and two Icarus dashes for the reason of “it’s too hard for people to play with.” Just insane. My favorite though was the removal of pinnacle weapons. They say it was because of power creep but it really wasn’t, evidence by the fact that they’re mostly all back in the game right now. It was because people whined and complained they couldn’t get them so they had to go, then we get “ritual weapons” as a replacement which were mid at best and were extremely easy to get. Just unbelievable how they just neutered every single grind that gave the game identity for the audience barely playing the game, I don’t even want to call them casuals because casual Destiny players will typically still try to interact with the games flagstone systems (or at least they did). I mean what meaningful grind has there been in the past 6 years? The only one that was actually enjoyable I can think of was onslaught during ITL. Every thing else is has been some meaningless thing like power level grinding or bounties every season. Just no aspirational content anymore

@LowmanLegend I remember one Iron Banner there was a quest step/bounty to get 10 rocket launcher kills. It was a pain but I finished it. Then they nerfed it so you needed to get ONE rocket kill. The apitimy of what ruined Destiny.

@JayViperTV Anyone that expected Cryo to reignite the community is not very bright. It’s the endgame map where there are requirements to enter. Also just like other games raids, you really only have 10-20% community engagement. How is that supposed to reignite anything?

Marathon fans are left wondering "what happened?" as the Cryo Archive event that they expected to reignite the community has resulted in Marathon's worst weekend, ever. Its Saturday peak was lower than Friday (AGAIN) and it was also lower than the previous Monday and every single weekday before that. An important note is that the Cryo Archive is ONLY available on the weekend and it's still struggling to get players back online. Spiraling.
