Instead of fanny-packs . . You have a panty-pack

@DiscussingFilm Wont lie the dogs shooting houses with rocketlaunchers was pretty fun while it lasted

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video slop-making platform Sora.

@dblasphemy The gravity of the story and its payoff is much more satisfying if you play through both.

I've never played the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games. Do I need to play the first before I play the second??

@logorn_gadum Halo Infinite was a great game but Halo fans dont actually like Halo so the only thing you can do is bring out the vintage terroir.

The realization that the future of Halo is most likely just repeating the original trilogy with only half the content is beyond depressing

@jeff_of_norwich Depends on your job, people just immediately grab a job regardless if if its shitty or not. Some of them have great flexibility

I refuse to believe that Americans only get two weeks off a year That's bloody criminal You should get at least five, NOT including public holidays

@DUSKdev Dont wanna eat shit? Heh. Man up kid. - Shiteater

Personally, I'm still going to enter the AI future kicking and screaming. I don't care if it's an inevitability or not. I can't stop stupid bullshit but I can refuse to take part in stupid bullshit.

@meloneslada We should have had custom runners 🫠

@RyGilliam Its weird how polarizing Marathon is when difficulty levels for commitment is common in games. And it doesnt hurt anything either, there are several paths to remedy.

Elden Ring (and its DLC) is one of the most beloved games of the last half decade. I don’t have a problem with Cryo’s difficulty level. But I’d encourage people to try and think deeper about the current conversation than “people just don’t like challenge anymore.”

@DSR_Joker Well said, Raids in other MMOs have levels of difficulty for varying commitment theres nothing wrong there.

Even if you like Marathon you have to admit this is a poor argument, in D2 casuals have loads of other content to play for $40. This is more like paying $40 for H3's PvP, only to find out you get 4 Maps, Valhalla, High Ground, Epitaph, and The Pit, and you don't get to play Pit.

@InfiniteGrunt Having classes of difficulty like every other game out today is fine. We should argue for that at the end of the day.

That’s not a problem, that’s an objective good thing. May this game stay niche, even if people like me can’t complete Cryo for a few months. For gods sake it’s literally the name of the game: It’s a Marathon, not a sprint.

@JakeParkerLIVE @MarathonTheGame Could just have a solo queue with lower rewards

Idea for @MarathonTheGame: Exploration mode. Separated map instance for all maps in the game. Players who load in spawn with no gear. No enemies. No loot. No combat. No access to secrets. 30:00 minute timer. No rewards or XP. Players can freely explore the map to learn its layout before exfilling at any time.

@DSR_Joker You said it

The defense of Marathon since the Alpha is that Cryo will revolutionize the game, and that we can't judge it before then. Now we have a bit of content only a small % can play, in a small window of time. So how exactly does this make the game better for everyone playing?

@leopardstealth It wouldnt hurt to have a lower reward setting for solo teams would it, pve can be tuned accordingly, still have to garner gear for it each week.

Can Marathon/Cryo be made easier so more players can enjoy it or is difficulty part of sauce that makes it peak? Because it is SO good. Figuring out raid mechanics while PvPing is scratching an itch I didn't know I had. 🥹

@SmojiiTTV It wouldnt hurt to have a lower reward setting for solo teams would it, pve can be tuned accordingly, still have to garner gear for it each week.

While I really like the difficulty I do think some things need to be toned down a bit for the sake of normal people playing the game lol.

@MarathonArchive Big agree

Customization would’ve been such a great way of meta-progression in this game u/Henrraike

@Muffin_Bandit_ Easily the most egregious change, its a big proponent of why I only play the game in short bursts.

Still not over Marathon ditching Destiny-level fashion for Heroes. They could’ve just tied the “hero” abilities to something like a core, then drop new cores each season or something.

@DiscussingFilm Go out to your nearest barrens chat and make a few in his honor

@Ziegler_Dev Just make a pve setting

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.

@TrashMa38395253 @MarathonMedia01 I dont get it either, how are you supposed to experience a portion of the game this way? Im all for the investment but I like spend some runs just exploring or trying to collect lore pickups.

@MarathonMedia01 What is it with developers not wanting people to play their games. No duo q on 2 maps and now weekends only for the new map. So if you work on weekends then your sol and are stuck with the same 3 maps eith no word on a new one any time soon.

‼️CONFIRMED: CRYO ARCHIVE IS WEEKEND ONLY This isn’t always available. 🔓 Opens on weekends 📅 First run: March 20 Miss your window… and you’ll have to wait #Marathon | #MarathonGame
