@Ziegler_Dev Wednesday Rooks only Cryo. Who says no?

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.

I keep most posts to sports, but Marathon is too much fun. It’s the gunplay the Millenials grew up with, plus the extraction mechanism that keeps things cutthroat. Sony luckily hit this one out of the park.

@Nickelback When is the next time you are playing the Piggy Palace? I’ll book a flight

TOMORROW

Kevin O’Leary was perfectly casted, as was his costar Pig in the role of “Pig”

@SAINTTWALKR @GAFollowers Hurting his trade value 😭

@GAFollowers Doin this in a Kyle Pitts jersey outta season is nasty work.

Seen at DeKalb Farmers Market

@cantguardjake It’s AI……

Interesting graphic. Where’d you get that uniform concept?

@ShamsCharania Adam Silver did the meme

@Philly_Mays HaWWWWWWks

It’s basketball night in America.

Congrats Eddie Rosario, you are now for the third time an Atlanta Brave. Please give AA three weeks to finalize the details.

@TheComptr0ller @PatBlanchfield The boys that are back in town are the same from the song “Jailbreak”, so based on prior Thin Lizzy lore, they are wanted boys and would be smart to leave town to avoid the eye of the law.

the "boys are back in town" may be a happy anthem but its very pleasure also depends on sorrow. for while we celebrate the boys' return we also know they must leave. even now the hour of their departure draws close. perhaps we ourselves will be the ones who drive them away

@JakeMarsh18 @PardonMyTake @BarstoolBigCat @PFTCommenter @hen_ease @Philly_Mays @Billyhottakes Super proud of you. What a man of integrity and grit. Never even posted the tweet and didn’t look back.

Congrats on an incredible milestone, @PardonMyTake. Grateful to have been part of the journey. #TenYearsOfPMT

@PFTCommenter @PardonMyTake @PFTCommenter you gotta shout out who did the tat.

@PFTCommenter @PardonMyTake Is this your first tat? Artist fucking nailed it.

10 year anniversary of @PardonMyTake had to commemorate with a piece of Vanny Woodhead

Perfect timing from Ronald Acuña Jr. 💪

@CjNikitas Have any of these artists ever attempted to get the party started? I rest my case

Devo and The Smiths have never been inducted. Pixies, the Replacements and Sonic Youth have never even been nominated

@GAFollowers Robert Kraft in shambles rn, looking to book his next rub and tug in Conley.

Police in Sandy Springs shut down multiple massage parlors as part of a prostitution and human trafficking investigation. Several women were detained and more charges could follow as the investigation continues.

What if Dale Cooper stuck a metal fork into this while trying to navigate his way out of the White Lodge….

when a late stage alcoholic bar owner on Bar Rescue is told they suddenly have to make cod fritters with a green chile aioli >>>>>>

@alejandroxpadi @SkylerShuler I was legitimately intrigued by the first two flashbacks with both sides have a parallel arc, then the third act just acts like those things never happened nor mattered. Just reverted to basic time travel tropes just when it was going down a different path.

@SkylerShuler Kind of in the middle on this one. Thought the first two acts were decent, then the final act really lost me.

I was having a good day.
