@cntinil og Sentinel mogs so hard tho

AURA SHELL AURA SHELL

@TTVzdupS @MarathonTheGame I really hope that's the case, the original color scheme looks much cooler

@el__pishula @MarathonTheGame Probably just the Arachne skin tbh, most likely used to fit the trailer colours/theme

Season 2 is coming June 2

This is an all-timer piece of concept art for me and I really want to see these as new shells and a destroyer skin.

marathons graphic realism art style is the first thing that attracted me to this game .. they need to stay in that lane or it might lose some of its magic #marathon #bungie

@BasedEscapeGod they never should've fired Joseph Cross as art director because they simply don't get the artstyle

@Hive_Thrall these look awful and out of place

is this a safe place to say i think these skin concepts look extremely out of place for marathon based on how everything else has been designed so far

@MarathonTheGame yeah this will surely bring in those new players

The final week of Ranked Season 1 will take place on Cryo Archive from May 24 - 28 (10 AM PT). Stay frosty.

I don’t think Bungie meant for less teams to be spawning in on all the maps. But as someone who LOVES PvP, I still have to say, this game feels WAY better with less teams. More time for PvE, less third parties, more welcoming for newer players. Keep it like this.

Marathon solo is as incredible as it is exhausting. Back to back to back to back zero progress runs suck. You die, fail your "and exfil" objective, achieve only a lighter vault and ultimately backwards meta progress. Repeating of course. Arc Raiders does some very clever things to avoid this issue. Not that Marathon should just copy everything from arc and sand down all the edges. I really think Bungie could alleviate this by letting us run 1 or 2 side contracts along side a priority contract, so even if you die you are still more likely to make some form of progress. But idk how else you could address this? It's just too deflating and feelsbadman.jpg.

@dillonatm Marathon solos made me understand why Apex, a hero shooter, doesn't have solo Need a Rook-only solo mode so bad

Imagine if they finished the Rook prototype frame and that ended up being the only shell you could load into solo lobbies with

@TheNovaPlayss -also the game being a hero shooter in an oversaturated market -big focus on trios -not enough tuning for solo play

- Hate campaign fueled by the usual grifters & the people who feel burned about Destiny 2 despite it being an 8yr+ old game - Extraction Shooters are niche, especially one that doesnt hold your hand every step of the way which scares off the modern casual audience - Early Alpha Playtest, Art Scandal & the delay to the original release landed a back to back to back blow that spawned nothing but negative talks about the game. Just look at Paul Tassi’s headlines during that time lol - Cheaters aren’t a rampant issue to like 90% of the playerbase but since that 10% is mostly occupied by streamers, it would seem like it Probably my 4 biggest reasons with the cheating one being very distant in contributing to the actual reason.

man, Marathon made me realize how disgustingly hostile it is to be a casual player right now you get dived on by toxic zealots for wanting the game to be less grindy and more accessible and you get dived on by grifters and their idotic alt-right fanbases for liking the game.

there's no single way in which it being a hero shooter makes it a better game

The biggest mistake was making Marathon a fuckin hero shooter

@MarathonTheGame literal recolors lol

Skin is a verb. Discover and unlock all Disciples of Arachne shell styles in the Codex.

@aaronl99l @MarathonDevTeam @MarathonTheGame reduced health for UESC bots for example, as well as a proper version of Cryo that's doable for solos, or at least something, anything at this point

@el__pishula @MarathonDevTeam @MarathonTheGame What sort of balancing, specifically, do you mean for solos? Every dev and their mother is aware that the solo experience sucks, but they can't exactly just drop a PvE map or something to that effect on a whim. It takes dev time that they're likely already working on.

As we get deeper into Season 1, we've been monitoring your feedback around the current combat sandbox closely. We wanted to talk a little about a few of the topics we're seeing frequently from the community, and some updates we're planning. 💣Too Many Grenades A big topic in the community right now is that it's not a good experience to open up a fight only to be barraged with dozens of grenades. We're looking to push some changes to stock counts and stack sizes before the end of the season. We're keeping an eye on the overall usage of equipment and will make additional changes as necessary. 🪙Gold Ares Railgun The Ares railgun with a Prestige mod being able to one-shot Runners with purple or gold shields is unintentional, and we'll be issuing a fix in a future update. We want it to feel strong and fun to use without being so effective it becomes overly frustrating to play against. 🔫WSTR Damage Nerf The WSTR damage nerf was a temporary nerf and we just released a more nuanced set of changes earlier today in Update 1.0.6.2. While we aren't looking to change the two-shot breakpoints, the WSTR indeed took a bigger hit than we were intending with the temporary nerf and we intend for this change to put it in a better place. It should have similar effectiveness against AI as before the nerf as well have less damage fallout at range. Go try it out and let us know what you think. We appreciate everyone's input, please keep it coming.
