Taking YOU Through !Cryo Twitch.tv/GernaderJake

@JoseButWithPH @bbolliee How in the world did you fail to understand the point of the first tweet in the thread you’re replying to 🤣

@GernaderJake @bbolliee "SO fucking good"

It is really crazy how fun this game is and for some reason the player base is this low

Going live in a Thursday still feels weird… BUT CRYO SO WE GOTTA Twitch.tv/GernaderJake

@JinkleDinde @MoistCabbage44 I would never drink and drive. Thanks for spreading harmful lies Mr cabbage

@MoistCabbage44 @GernaderJake Please tell me that’s actually it

My first “steps” since January 20th 🥹

@Ziegler_Dev Looking forward to future experiments!

Our experiment is almost complete with the duos queue and we've gathered a lot of valuable information to help us finalize our plans for duos for Season 2. With the culmination of the duo experiment, we just wanted to thank everyone who has participated and helped us learn more about duos in Marathon, and tease that we're looking to bring the queue back better than ever in the course of Season 2. More details to come on that in future updates. Details: - On Wednesday 4/8 at 10 AM PT we will be disabling the "Outpost - Duos" Queue. - There will be a new experimental queue starting on 4/15 at 10 PT. More details about this queue coming next week. In regards to experiments, we have a new experimental queue we'll be running starting on 4/14. We'll have more information on this queue within the next week, and look forward to you joining us again to help us learn more about additional features we're interested in adding to our game. Thanks again for helping us evolve this game!

@MarathonDevTeam Thank you.

We’ve seen the conversation about cheaters, toxicity, and competitive integrity in Marathon, so here’s a quick update from our Product Security team. Detection & enforcement: We have a zero-tolerance policy around cheating. We’re actively banning confirmed cheaters and expanding our telemetry and detection methods to better catch the aforementioned cheaters. Some of this work is live already, and more improvements will roll out over the coming weeks. Anti-cheat is a continuous cycle of monitoring, improving, and responding. This is an area that we will continue to invest in to protect the integrity of your runs. Reporting tools: We’re iterating on reporting for both cheating and toxic behavior: ➡️ Making it easier to flag suspected cheaters in-game and via our web tools. ➡️ Improving how you report harassment and other Code of Conduct violations. ➡️ Exploring in‑game mailbox messages so that when a report you filed leads to action, we can follow-up and let you know. Voice & comms: Longer term, we’re investing in better voice chat moderation tools to help us more reliably act on repeat abusers in proximity and team chat, alongside the tools provided by each platform. Stream sniping: We know stream sniping is a real pain point, especially in Ranked. We’re working with our Trust & Safety and design teams on better in-game protections, like name privacy options. If you run into suspicious behavior or harassment, please keep reporting it. Clips, VODs, and any supporting files you have can be delivered to us directly on our reporting website, right here: safety.bungie.net/hc/en-us/artic… It all feeds into the systems and people working to keep Tau Ceti fair. Thanks for letting us know what you're seeing out there.

@CoolRunnersClub @PaulTassi @Forbes When the same people have been seen cheating in ranked lobbies for weeks now, with plenty of streamers demonstrating them cheating lobby after lobby, then I KNOW Bungie isn’t banning them. Feels pretty fair to get mad about. Maybe stop focusing on me, Craig.

@GernaderJake @PaulTassi @Forbes would love to hear how you know what Bungie is doing, or not doing, about cheaters? otherwise sounds like getting mad at them for things we are clueless about 🤷‍♂️

@MarathonDevTeam Thank you for being so quick with all the fixes. But please, address the cheater situation. There aren’t many of them! But the ones that are in the game are ruining your ranked playlist, and your silence is rapidly ruining the integrity of your game.

@lulusoccer Lulu, can I help you kill the compiler? Please?

@GernaderJake I actually respect you more that you didn’t do it. It’s a game, people can do whatever it’s part of it but I’ve lurked in so many streams and absolutely love watching the ones who get people to team together for the compiler. I hope to one day magically be on one of those teams.

When the entire Cryo Archive lobby turns friendly, but you have the Goo Gun…

The majority of the comments: Why would it be any different from Destiny 2? First of all, it already is different with how fast they change things, respond to issues, etc - this is WAY different than D2, so it’s not crazy to think they’d react differently to cheaters too. Secondly, we all know how important Marathon is to Bungie. Many of you are even mad at Bungie for ‘kinda’ giving up on D2 to put their resources into Marathon. So, with how many resources Marathon has and with how important its success is to Bungie, it’s reasonable to think they may actually work harder at preventing the constant cheating from the same accounts. Anyway, those are the reasons why I think/thought it may be different than Destiny 2.

I’m a bit confused by this whole cheater situation in Marathon. Apparently, high ranked lobbies are just filled with blatant cheaters. It’s almost a guarantee you’ll match them. How is Bungie so quick with all the nerfs and changes, but they are just silently allowing these cheaters to go crazy week after week? They unfortunately did the same thing with cheaters in Trials, but I thought they would have learned their lesson and been ON IT for Marathon. How hard is it to have one person manually review the accounts in the high ranked lobbies? Why are they silent and why are the cheaters going unpunished? It just feels like such a huge L, and it really should be such an easy W for them

Today is a viewer key run day 😎 Twitch.tv/GernaderJake

We basically have a more badass bitboss back on the channel! Learning and experimenting with it today while playing Cryo Twitch.tv/GernaderJake

@PokerGO @Andrew_Robl What a fuckin fold. Does Gavri ever do this with just the K of hearts as a blocker though? I don’t think I could fold here knowing that’s a possibility.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT A HAND BETWEEN @ANDREW_ROBL AND JUSTIN GAVRI WE ARE NOT WORTHY Stream High Stakes Poker on PokerGO.com, live and on demand.

@Ziegler_Dev The Goo Gun DESPERATELY needed a nerf. Let’s hope this is enough to make it somewhat fightable.

Biotoxic Disinjector. It’s Strong! … too strong. Tonight Friday April 3rd at 6pm PT we will be doing a change on live taking it down a notch and nerfing its damage. We’re likely to make some adjustments to Biotox in the near future and may not stick to this damage nerf but for now we wanted to make sure we could curb a little bit of its dominion in the game. 

The change:
- Biotoxic Disinjector will now deal 35% less damage across the board. 

Thanks for all the feedback and we’ll keep chipping away at our long list of future changes.
