@peel0ff@stikkybtw@noshenaniganery@fflitzer It’s the principle of encouraging shit like this. This is how it started with oblivion horse armor. It being cheap isn’t an excuse. Just make better skin and if people wanna pay to play dress up at least make it worth it.
@stikkybtw@noshenaniganery@fflitzer Imagine defending not wanting to buy low effort video game slop. It’s ok to have bungie’s cock in your mouth too lmao
@MarathonDevTeam PLEASE BRO MAKE RAILGUNS HAVE EXPLOSIVE SHELLS [well by default] THEY NEED SOME KIND OF AOE BUFF
or just make priority contracts less insufferable
We are making some experimental changes to our network configuration to reduce the rate of errors experienced in-game. These changes will go live today from 3PM PT to 8PM PT and will affect players in Central and Northern Europe.
Please let us know of any issues experienced on our official Discord: discord.gg/marathonthegame
As part of our mid-season update planned for April 14, we've got some notable changes and updates on the way. But by popular demand we wanted to share just a few early - specifically, a preview of some of the Recon changes that are incoming.
⭕ Echo Pulse: This will now distinguish between the Runner and UESC targets that are pinged. We're also reducing its visibility to enemies, making it a bit tougher for enemy Runners to gauge if they're in range. Notably, if you're a Runner who cleverly used their Signal Jammer before Echo Pulse hit you, you'll also show up as UESC. Use this power wisely.
🕷️ Tracker Drone: Your friendly neighborhood Tracker Drone is about to get a bit more aggressive. With 1.0.6 we're improving its tracking strength and allowing it to find a new target to track if it cannot reach its current target. Runner beware.
That's just a taste of what's to come. Keep some tick milk on ice, we'll share the full patch notes closer to 1.0.6's release date.
@Krypt83@Freckleston63@alltimetettzie Thief has a core that turns you invis when you use your drone, which you can clearly see thief go invis after deploying her drone.
@Freckleston63@alltimetettzie I did watch you end you got outplayed killed by a drone and your friend got killed while using his drone. It’s not hard to find theif while she’s using her drone
Imagine cheating and losing, unbelievable. Crazy this guy got to Plat 2 unbanned. Lost golds on the second death. Surely I get them back once he's banned. The muted part of the tweet were racial slurs, I submit a ticket on Bungie. @malikshelp@MarathonDevTeam@Ziegler_Dev
Free kit Andy in every comment section:
“Bungie’s days are numbered. Concord 3. Check the steam charts, Marathon is bleeding players.”
Me:
142 Hours played on Xbox, exclusively with Cross-play off.
I can find a game at any time of day, in any playlist, presumably on my servers if it’s instant. Ranked or Cryo Archive, it’s not only filtering players on Xbox but it’s filling lobbies at any time of day with time invested players.
My feed is filled with amazing fan art and I’ve had to sign up for restock notifications for merch as it’s all sold out on the Bungie store.
I just don’t think this game is half as dead as people want it to be.
My personal game of the year so far ✌️

@Wiki_XIV@MacticsG1@Ziegler_Dev Cryo already has gear risk. Isn’t it loot value requirement and you can’t play rook on the map? That alone is enough to tear everyone vault to shreds. Know one is going to be able to spam cryo even if it’s always available, which make it perfect for the weekday activity.
@peel0ff@MacticsG1@Ziegler_Dev I think they intend the same gear risk in Cryo. They want the farming of normal maps during the week and losing your gear in Ranked and Cryo. Theyve been pretty loud in that Cryo will be the toughest content yet. So I expect to almost lose more there than ranked mode.
FYI: Here's the current schedule for Cryo/Ranked.
Cryo:
Unlocks at 10 AM PT on Friday (first opens on Friday 3/20)
Closes at 10 AM PT on Monday (first closes on Monday 3/23)
Ranked:
Unlocks at 10 AM PT on Saturday (first opens on Saturday 3/21)
Closes at 10 AM PT on Tuesday (first closes on Tuesday 3/24)
Once again, as we see and learn more we're open to iterating on the schedule in future updates.
Good luck you brave souls.
@frogpitgaming@TheMacroShow Isn’t there a loot value requirement for cryo? I don’t even think rook can que cryo, so spamming cryo wouldn’t even be possible unless your godly and never loose runs. Your gonna play the other maps to gather what you lost no matter if it available all the time or not.
No, because the alternative is everyone just farms Cryo for the best loot and the other maps become wastelands of free kits. This way you're forced to bring the unique and good loot out into the other maps during the week, and it keeps the gear economy functional. Otherwise, the progression curve goes flat and the game dies.
@MacticsG1@Ziegler_Dev I think it should be the opposite. Rank eeekend and cryo anytime. Farm the best gear you can during the week so you can risk it playing rank on the weekend sounds like the best loop.
@Ziegler_Dev early impressions i know as they arent out yet but TWO limited modes feels bad. i can understand maybe cryo being weekend only but ranked being weekend only is odd imo.
@SicklyTheNinJa@MarathonDevTeam Wait cryo is only weekends? I get having rank on the weekends but it makes zero sense for cryo to also only be on weekends. You would figure the loop would be get the best gear (play on cryo) during the week day so you can risk it all playing rank on the weekend.
We are aware of exploits allowing Runners to cancel slides to gain boosts of speed.
To maintain competitive integrity and keep the combat sandbox balanced we will be fixing these exploits in a future patch.
Pardon our dust!
@Ag0at@Rageoverrun People played Marathon... During slam they lost half their first day players not wanting to play the next day. The players spoke. Get over it.
You really can't trust social media.
Marathon is the most fun I've had with an FPS in a long time. If I had listened to socials, I'd have never played the server slam.
We really need to stop listening to people that don't play games.
@saterienne_@HazelSoSlay Well at least they are nerfing thermals all around next patch. Sniper thermals in particular are gonna from an effective range of 100m from 180m. You can use signal jammers to help with snipers.
@HazelSoSlay long-range combat is just where the game falls apart in its current state, nothing can even bother snipers past like 120m and thermals aren't even rare. def think that giant chokepoint at north-mid is begging for an expansion like customs from EFT back like 5 years ago though
@qHugzz Your playing to get better at understanding the mechanics of each maps, getting better loot, improving your own skills, completing codex, upgrading factions, playing rank to earn end of season rewards, and cryo archives.
I don’t hate marathon, I just don’t know what I’m playing for.
I don’t know what the point is if every vault item and faction rep gets reset every month, what is the end goal in this game? I feel like there is just no purpose, maybe that’s the extraction shooter genre. idk
@AleksAleyard@StadiaTime What if there is a consumable (Mechanics Kit?) that works same way like Adrenaline Shot from Arc Raiders i.e. infinite stamina, in this case infinite Heat capacity so you dont generate heat for a set amount of time?
If Bungie keeps thermal scopes in Marathon this powerful then they should consider tying in the heat system as a counter at very long ranges.
i.e. the lower your heat the more you blend in with the surrounding thermals of the environment.
It just makes sense balance-wise, no?
How I am ending the server slam. 10k loadout! I wanted to find purple shield, but it never happened :( Sniper and thermal scope are extremely OP, especially when you go invisible right after a kill🤫! #marathonthegame
