@ExoGhost This isn't a game for people who play casually. I'll personally never see end game or probably ever finish my rep grind. But I'm having fun

Marathon is losing thousands of players every week. Bungie is in trouble It already dropped to 28k players. 2 weeks ago it had 44k If the game is so good like the fanboys and critics claim, why is everyone giving up on it?

@ArcRaidersInfo Marathon didn't really do anything wrong. It just isn't designed for the regular everyday gamer. Which unfortunately for marathon is the majority of gamers. I play marathon and ARC, I enjoy both, but I'll never max my rep or see the compiler in Marathon.

What do you think Marathon did wrong compared to Arc Raiders? Discuss 🤔

@ArcRaiderAlerts Nothing went wrong, it is just designed for a more hardcore crowd

What went wrong with Marathon? ARC Raiders: 5 months old Marathon: 1 month old

@JonathanGStone @AI_EmeraldApple Eh, it was $40, and I've had 40+ hours of fun with it. Where else can you get 40 hours of fun for a single dollar per hour? Even if it closed tomorrow I got my monies worth. If you need to get years of play out of $40 then the real world is really going to upset you.

@AI_EmeraldApple I want to play this, but the problem is, I'm over live service games dumping support and my money and time being wasted.

With only 1.2 million copies sold, Marathon is facing a disaster. The "unrealized costs" of the game are running at about 200 million dollars, which analysts are expecting to rise as the declining MTX revenue from the shrinking player base doesn't cover the cost of running the servers and development of seasonal content. Worst of all, the "weekend" bump failed to materialize for the game, with a continued downward trend that continues to degrade the total playerbase count. The future of the game is looking bleak.

@KahliefAdams If the numbers are good enough for them to continue development then they shouldn't make too many changes. But if it isn't, they need to look at doing stuff to bring in a more casual player base. I'm more of a casual player, but none of my friends will touch Marathon

There are other avenues to make Marathon a more accessible game for non-hardcore players, but adding a PVE mode isn’t really it. I play with a varying set of players who go from causal to super sweat and their issues are vastly different. At the end of the day, respecting the players time is paramount and those different player groups have very different needs that can be addressed. Also, the game is less than a month old…

@ThatARCGuy Never stepped foot into it

Anybody score any good loot from this event?

@ArcRaiderAlerts Give heavy shield more resistance to fire and grenade DMG and more people will run them in my opinion

State a useless item in ARC Raiders. I will start:

@PxlKaii Launch day. Getting to fight ARC, looting and slowly upgrading my stuff

Here’s a question for you Raiders How long have you been playing the game, and what was the first thing that hooked you about ARC Raiders? 🐓👇🏼

@ThatARCGuy I'm the same way. I even bought a separate account through Epic to just pvp with. My moral compass just doesn't let me do it with this game lore and what were fighting for. However Marathon was a different story. With the lore and what's at stake. I have no remorse there lol

I tried to go full PvP last month. I lasted one night. NOT because of a "skill issue". It just goes against my internal compass. I always guide myself towards being the hero and not the villain in any experience. Let's be honest, if you're actively starting PvP engagements you're NOT the "hero" in a game of choice. Not in those moments anyhow. You chose violence when peace is always an option. In those PvP moments though, it's pure survival. And I get it. It's just not my style. You CAN play the game as just a game and be super PvP heavy - that's cool and I support that for you. When I play ARC Raiders I immerse myself into the experience as much as possible. When I'm in the game, I want to play and act like the human I am: friendly, supportive, and surviving. My games are so friendly I could bump into other raiders while looting and we'd both apologize. That's what the so called "carebear lobbies" are and I wouldn't change a thing. I still walk into every area with a healthy level of concern for other raiders, but it's quickly shifted to ARC 99% of the time. That 1% keeps my head on a swivel and my prox chat skills polished. It's no secret I love this game. Part of that love is knowing there are so many ways to play it and enjoy playing it.

@Mr_Husky1 Weights for a Cuckoo clock. My grandparents had one when I was growing up

Nope, not ornaments. My friend is going through the house where her grandma and aunt lived their whole lives and finding weird stuff. Apparently these are solid and very heavy; too heavy to hang on a tree. What are they

@CastIronCunt @ArcRaiderAlerts ARC has a low bar for entry and you can start having fun pretty quickly. I got killed 6 times in Marathon trying to do 1 quest where you had to kill a commander. I eventually pushed through, but regular players aren't going to like that.

@ArcRaiderAlerts Marathon seems to be underperforming sadly. It's a fantastic game but I think people made up their minds before giving it a fair go

ARC Raiders finally has a proper competitor. I'm glad Marathon is performing well with mostly positive Steam reviews. This ensures market competitiveness and keeps Embark Studios in check. They're doing well, but competition ensures they don't become greedy like Activision.

@ArcRaiderAlerts Yeah, I'm glad the hardcore pvpers have a place to go challenge themselves. Marathon really leans into that style. I stared having fun in the server slam around level 10, but ARC Raiders is definitely more my vibe. We need them both to do well though. Good for the genra.

@Relaxed008 Yes this line of thinking makes no sense to me. Games in general only benefit if many games do well in a genra. Makes studios want to invest in new titles and pushes competition to the ones already there

First it was Marathon is gonna be “dead on arrival”. Now because they have a healthy player base so far, it’s a “failure for a triple A game”. How much are we gonna keep moving the goal posts to discredit a good game? Just enjoy it or leave it alone sheesh.

@ThatARCGuy Depends on what I'm trying to do. Trials, events, or looking for specific loot in an area I leave asap. Anything else I stay in raid and try and find value, which is easy to do

Common response is that if you spawn in late, you run straight to extract. That surely can’t be the plan Embark was hoping for.
