Honestly, true. Long winded but passionate, constructive rant ahead: It’s a mixture of skill issue but also time available. We can watch the unemployed and the full time streamers experience this stuff so easily but for everyone else, this is tough. It’s cool as hell but tough. First impressions on Cryo is that I can’t stop thinking about it and Bungie deserve massive props. I love this game to pieces and heavily enjoy the idea of preparing for a weekend raid on the Marathon with acquired loot. But the amount of steps, keys, RNG, chaos of sweaty runners…in only 30 MINUTES! And then only for the weekend! I get a feeling this will filter out so many people leaving only the best of the best runners to be a brick wall for new runners trying to finish it. Would love if it was an hour long session maybe. I’m conflicted because I absolutely love the concept of this challenge mixed with a raid like experience, Bungie have essentially given us FPS Dark Souls and a dedicated hardcore experience. But I can’t help but think about a middle ground that is still punishing but more accessible at the same time. If it’s hard and I lose my loot I am cool with that, I just want more people to be able to reach the boss and exfil the map. Maybe some form of “Cryo (story)” queue for lack of a better term that has intentionally worse loot but is “easier” to complete for those of us wanting to experience the story, unlock codex entries, fight a cool PvE boss and feel a part of the event successfully. Idk. I think the game needs more people to be able to play it and complete stuff and not less, for the game to continue to succeed in terms of a player base. A dedicated passionate community like this deserves to grow even bigger. (Why I also think arena PvP and PvE modes are a good idea to populate the game with even more people that wouldn’t play an extraction shooter.) I can love this game, play it daily and still not touch that Compiler for maybe a couple months or ever and then the seasonal reset and FOMO with potential story/map changes are gonna upset me, which feels unfortunate. I’ll be trying my best to get there but doing so much in only a 30 minute timespan is brutal. And I LOVE Destiny raids, so the goblin brain is irrationally wishing this was a PvE raid in the game because the mechanics, the map, the whole fucking atmosphere of this map ROCKS and I wish more people could experience it (same with Destiny raids but y’know, can of worms). I’m obsessed and want to spend more time exploring it but with a constant threat of 5k min loadout wipes and a skill ceiling that requires me to become a full time astronaut to reach…it stings that even people loving the game this much will even struggle heavily to reach the endgame. TLDR; Bungie make cool hard game and I wish I had a hyperbolic time chamber to be top tier, hope to see a middle ground to balance challenge but also accessibility for the community. Also Ben Starr is sexy I mean Durandal knows how to set the scene. Maybe I’ll change my mind over time but this is day one thoughts. @MarathonDevTeam @Ziegler_Dev #marathontakeover #focusedfeedback

My legit ONE complaint about CA so far is that I know that I will NEVER fight a compiler purely because how the game is made & tbh that kinda sucks, I wish fighting Compilers where a little more all player friendly because to me rn, I’m never seeing one in game.

yep these are just first impressions, just an initial take away. some frustrating runs but so much fun also. streamers with time to be the best stay winning running around with gold tier loadouts and we must struggle to survive lmao. really curious to see how this map and game will evolve over time as people get used to the loop.

@Mapocolops It's only the first 24 hours. As we get more experience on cryo runs will get optimized, randoms fills will start knowing what to do, cheese strats might emerge - we'll get closer to the full clear. Cryo is the pinnacle and losing is the process. In death we've just begun.

Idea for @MarathonTheGame: Exploration mode. Separated map instance for all maps in the game. Players who load in spawn with no gear. No enemies. No loot. No combat. No access to secrets. 30:00 minute timer. No rewards or XP. Players can freely explore the map to learn its layout before exfilling at any time.

@DannyMacFinn @Mapocolops well you paid for a hardcore extract shooter to think that you wouldnt experience something that wouldnt challenge you is very short sighted and for weeks now they said this would be hard for alot of players.

As a massive lore fiend and someone who gladly reads the codex of games I love, Marathon is going to be absolutely brutal to complete with the collectables on maps. If there is anyone knowledgeable who wants to take a lore man through this content for runs, and can help me unlock these pieces...Mapocolops#7126 I do wish you could unlock the codex entries simply by finding and scanning these items so I could read through them now and not slowly in 2 months if I am able to get everything out of Cryo... THE LORE IS SO FUCKING GOOD I WANT TO EARN IT MYSELF TO READ ITTTTTT #marathontakeover

Every single encounter I have in this game is shoot on sight so any time I am approached for a friendly encounter which happens 1/100 times I think it's good content to capture I have been absolutely brutalised by Marathon gamers for their obsession with killing other runners lmao. Especially the Arachne obsessed

I am in my flop era because I am passionate about this dead game filled with fontslop!! Runners, before Cryo drops there's a secret map you need to infil to, and that's the Mapocolops channel to check out my Visions of Marathon series covering the ARG progress, Story/Gameplay and voicing the Codex entries. Would love more support on this series if you enjoy the game, I have put a lot of sleepless nights into compiling everything over the last two weeks. BTW This is a necessary ARG step to unlock Cryo otherwise all of your vault loot is erased. //execute.self-promo.exe youtu.be/Fr0c1QEwqgQ #MarathonTakeover #fontsloptakeover

I like this guy and the words he writes. A level of finger on the pulse responsiveness that inspires a lot of confidence for this game and making well intentioned adjustments instead of kneejerk reactions that can compromise vision. I will play this game until my hands become the dust floating through Tau Ceti's atmosphere.
Ziegler@Ziegler_Dev

Cryo and Ranked are coming and we're excited to see players battle it out over Tau Ceti and traverse into the big scary moon-like ship in the sky. We've put out a few posts about Cryo, poured through the variety of comments and feedback we've seen so far, and wanted to take some time to explain some of the initial decisions we've made around Cryo and Ranked with regards to weekend scheduling. So without further ado, here's what we have been thinking: We are of course always iterating and are open to looking at other options in the future, but the Ranked/Cryo Archive weekend decision is really built around three points: - Preparing: We acknowledge that players will lose a lot of gear on Cryo and Ranked because it is intended to challenge you to your limits. As a result of that, it's important that Cryo and Ranked feel like an event you can schedule towards, grind gear up to do, etc. The loop of spend time grinding gear to spend it in Cryo or Ranked is reflected in this choice as a weekly cycle. - Economy Talk: We have some great rewards on Cryo that kind of break the bank when it comes to economy and power gain. If we were to look at having it open all the time, we'd probably have to adjust how frequently you can earn these rewards so that we don't flood the game with amazing loot all of a sudden. - Logistics Time: Cryo and Ranked both have entry requirements (gear ante) that are built around the idea of you matching with other players on an equal investment level. They also both have a high level requirement to ensure you've experienced enough of the game to understand the challenges inherent to the game. This inherently makes the amount of people in that queue at any time unpredictable. Both of these experiences also need a consistent flow of players in the queue to make sure matches are full to retain the challenge. To reduce the match times and allow players to find matches quicker, making it a scheduled event means more players will show up during that window and feed the queue pool better. We also acknowledge that there are likely some who cannot participate on the weekend or are excited about the experience and want to no-life it for weeks, and we appreciate that. We'll be looking into what we can do to retain these considerations and potentially accommodate this in the future. Things we may iterate on in the future: - Staggering Ranked and Cryo queues more so they overlap less - Looking at changing the days we do either Cryo or Ranked - Changing the ante values of Cryo or Ranked - Looking at any other conditions (solo experience, crew fill experience, etc.) and iterating on it! Marathon is an evolving game and part of evolving is seeing how this initial launch plays out and adjusting as we go =). Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming and we'll update you when we figure out the next evolution.
