@DavidaNinja1@Ziegler_Dev@MarathonDevTeam Ok so someone holding a corner in a cryo hallway is just unkillable? Gotcha. Let me flank them quickly, it’s just gonna take me 2 minutes to then get held at another corner by his teammate
UPDATE: WTF WSTRs
We're gonna take a shot at bringing the WSTR more in line. Right now it's become a dominant option and is eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game. SOOOOOO... as of Tuesday 4/21 (likely 8AM PT) the WSTR will no longer be able to down an enemy player who has blue shields or above with two shots. The ideal is that in a majority of cases this will force a reload in scenarios where the target has a blue shield, allowing for some more counterplay in these scenarios.
What Will Change:
- Change will go live Tuesday 4/21 in the morning. Likely 8AM PT.
- WSTRs can still down a green shielded target with 2 direct shots at short rang
- WSTRs will no longer be able to down a blue and above shielded target with 2 shots at short range.
We're still keeping an eye on a variety of balance issues. Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming and we'll keep hammering at it.
@tomorimoriri Backgrounds are important for me as a viewer. Depending on what type of illustrator you are, backgrounds can bring life to your art and a sense of belonging. Artists such as Simzart illustrate this concept well. Everyone has their own style though, so do what is best for you!
@JakeSucky Checking Shrouds stream, he is sitting at 15k for the launch of Cryo for Marathon. From what we can tell, they were never targeting a smash hit, especially with weekend queues only for pinnacle activities and ranked.
Ninja explains his issues with Marathon
- He doesn't hate it, enjoys the solo experience
- It's not as enjoyable to watch as a viewer
- The reason for declining streamer viewership
@SweRveR6S@INTERRO@Clayster If you’ve ever played a Bungie game, you’d know they are not making a bad game. They have many flaws as a studio but making fun games isn’t one of them.
Excited for Marathon but I can already tell the hate discourse is gonna cause it to fail. Actually a weird world we live in where instead of just … not playing games you don’t like, people actively hate and tear down any new title.
I guess let’s just keep playing Dust 2
@EzriMuldoon@Eduino96@Nikkitavia They stopped coming with the game because people wanted to buy them on their platform of choice instead of being forced to buy a PS/XBOX/PC version of the CE. The price reflects that as most CEs are around 150-200 USD
@KayliMills@MyFitnessPal Was using Lifesum for a while on this which had integrations with other applications. It was good for basic calorie count and nutrition. Only issue is that some features for meal plans and nutritional breakdowns are paywalled. You can easily favorite and copy/paste meals.
Love how @MyFitnessPal vibe coded their updated app and made it unusable. Even the workarounds for the things they took away DON'T WORK ANYMORE. Anyone have better options that allow copying meals from any date/time?
@CapCasts There are so many useful skills and talents developed while performing these roles. Next steps are hard for everyone even in traditional jobs. Just know that the solid foundation you’ve laid now will serve you well into the future.
@GhoulZapper All of this is hearsay/second-hand information aside from the only primary source being the ADL's Tweet regarding Twitch. None of the partners have confirmed this or issued any statements regarding the matter. Until they do, this article is just pure speculation.
@GhoulZapper Citing only ADL concerns with poor grammar and common mistakes. This sentiment is already plastered all over LSF and adjacent communities. Let Twitch work this our with their partners. It doesn't even offer a different perspective. This is a terminally online conversation.
@AshtonWalker78@Josh_Hamrick Having played the beta, I couldn’t disagree more. My friends and I uninstalled after a handful of games. I still support the studio and the developers, but it’s clear from the numbers this product wasn’t it. Given polish and time, it could have improved but it wasn’t ready.
@Josh_Hamrick Man you already know how I feel about the project. It was solid and the gameplay was good and felt good. There are so many disingenuous comments from people who didn't even play so those don't matter. Most of the people who played enjoyed it.
@ninehydras Watching your journey over the years has been great. Thank you for your wonderful creative work we’ve gotten to experience, and I look forward to checking out your next chapter in Marathon. Plenty of us are still rooting for you, and I hope you all take the time needed to reset.
@xchateaubriand If you have any friends interested in tech communications across the bridge with cloud experience, send them my way. Happy to help. We have a couple open spots.
@trexus183 I am so sorry for you and your team. I'm bewildered. From being told TFS needed to succeed, to it then garnering universal acclaim, and then we still see talent cut? How much more successful could it be? Hats off to all of you and your brilliant creative work. You deserve better.
I'm safe
So many incredible people are gone now. The last 8 months or so have been really tough for so many on the Destiny team, and I guess things are going to get worse now
