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!

Congratulations to all the runners who’ve been battling it out in the floating death fridge we call Cryo Archive! We’ve been watching and ingesting all the thoughts and feedback that we’re hearing, aggregating it and taking it down in notes. After this weekend we’ll spend some time looking into feedback and thinking of the next iterations we want to make:
Main topics we’ve noted so far:
- Scheduling : options for players who can’t play on weekends
- Solos : is there any way to play this map without joining a crew?
- Subroutines: can subroutines be more guaranteed as a drop from vaults?
Any of these may take some time to figure out so I can’t guarantee quick solutions here but we’ll definitely discuss these topics as a team this week.
Thanks for sticking with us as we evolve the game, and helping us fight the good fight against the cyborgs, robots, and aliens!
@ToddGreenspoon@TauCetiGG I playing every day for 6 hours and can’t do nothing on this map - literally hate that shit today . Died every game and losed everything I had .
@TauCetiGG Concept great. But it’s highly, highly inaccessible to 95% of the player base which isn’t exactly massive given the game, at baseline, is already a bit inaccessible to the average gamer. Bit of a head scratcher tbh.
@TauCetiGG Bullshit, Bungie treats people like children, the timed thing ,the 5k , bad exfil, bad loot, thumbs down. It kinda ruins the good vibe I had with the whole game, like I've thoroughly enjoyed myself till today.
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.
