Wing Zero

@Ziegler_Dev I'm so addicted to this game.

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.

Doing contracts on Dire Marsh will suck the soul right out of you.

@SpeakerJohnson I'm sorry Mike but I just don't believe you.

Republicans are working hard to get the SAVE America Act to the President’s desk. It is just common sense to ensure only American citizens can vote and use a  a photo ID when they do. Even 70% of Democrats across the country agree. But Senate Democrats are trying to block it.

@iiizwerg Fun but you better bring decent gear.

What are we thinking of Duo Marathoning?

@LeaderJohnThune You know this vote will fail, you're so fake.

There’s only one way to be sure that only Americans are voting in our elections: Voters have to prove they’re citizens when they register to vote. Passing this requirement should be a no-brainer, but Democrats roundly oppose this commonsense policy.

@Real_Ames If the races were reversed the victim would already have a statue made for them.

🚨 This is absolutely disgusting. A white girl gets dragged down a school hallway and jumped by a whole group of black students while people just stand there filming. Since when did ganging up on one person become entertainment? Where were the teachers… and why is nobody stepping in?

@nava94_ @MarathonTheGame This needs to be patched out fr

Marathon has the best gunplay and movement.. 📹KingRichard

@JavierWoT Check out City Hunter and House of Ninjas on Netflix. Hidden gems, some of my favorites.

El Live Action de Yu Yu Hakusho es muchísimo mejor que One Piece, pero al ser menos popular no se vio y se acabó cancelando. Pero este es el mejor L.A. que he visto

@MarathonArchive I wish thermals weren't a thing in Marathon.

aceu kills a full team in less than 5 seconds🤯

@SenateGOP They are doing a dog and pony show to pretend to support the SAVE Act. They know this vote will fail. Garbage uniparty spends all their time grasping at power while milking the average man dry.

Easy to vote and hard to cheat. Senate Republicans are voting to SAVE America.

@PeriklesGREAT Pussy looking like a bitch with that bonnet on his head.

Why the anti-white HATE? Black on white violence is 41 X higher than white on black violence !

@AI_EmeraldApple Game is amazing. I'd spend more time sharing steam charts for engagement but I'm having too much fun actually playing the game......

Marathon is in a death spiral. Week to week, peak players are dropped by over 10k players, and when numbers are this low, they cannot afford to bleed any more players. Add to that where Paul Tassi said that most of the Marathon players are on PC, these numbers are apocalyptic for a game that cost over $200 million to produce and develop... It means that these steam numbers are the main story... not some hidden console numbers. Aside from game sales, the revenue stream relies on microtransactions within the game's shop. MTX with only 50k peak players is not enough for a game of this scale and budget. These declining numbers lead to the "social proof" effect, which makes whales hesitant when it comes to their purchases. Bungie needs a miracle, some patch that fixes all of the glaring issues... but let's face it... People are just not interested in hardcore extraction shooters, while getting a visual migraine from the effects and colors.

As we're getting closer and closer to seeing the doors open for the Cryo Deck of the Marathon Ship, please be advised when it does open: surviving will be a challenge for even the most prepared of crews. (Everyone will have something new to learn). But we believe for those of you who are brave enough, it'll be a journey that you'll remember. TL;DR: Cryo Deck is a Pinnacle Challenge in more ways than one.

🔥🚨JUST IN: WNBA star Britney Griner expressed her love for Whataburger and gave fans a look into her life to see what her favorite meal is.

@MarathonDevTeam No assassin solos and crash fix for the open map crash would be amazing. Can't wait for duos!

Cryo Archive is now patched into the game but is inaccessible while the community finishes unlocking it. When the time comes, the requirements are: ➡️Runner Level 25 ➡️All six factions unlocked (liaison contracts completed) ➡️Loadout value of 5,000 credits per run

@MarathonTheGame Has the crash when opening map been fixed?

@MarathonTheGame W update.

@LeaderJohnThune Never underestimate your ability to work against Trump's agenda.

Starting today, we are going to have an important fight on the Senate floor. Polling shows broad support for all of the issues included in the SAVE America Act. But never underestimate Democrats’ ability to get on the wrong side of what the American people want.

We found this stool about to be thrown out. A student painted it. My kid calls it the "Elon Stool" @elonmusk
