you
Check, check, check, illuminate with the 10 gifted stars.
Wimbledon with the 24, crazy with the 15, Avarazdi with the new sub hand with the sub.
Thank you so much, I'm in.
We already got patch notes live.
Is meridot offline guys, what's happening?
All right, all right, all right, all right.
Let me turn this thing down.
All right, guys, we actually have a lot going on today.
So we have a patch that's also gone live, and we're going to jump into patch notes in
just a second.
Before we jump into that, though, Ziegler, who's the game director of Marathon, put
of a post last night. Let me actually move me down real quick. Hold on. Remind me that
we need to move back up when we're done. Okay. First vibe with the stuff. Thank you so much,
my man for the seven months. Counts, counts. Much love to you, my dude. Thank you for
the three months. Nina with the prime as well. Ah, real moises. Thank you for the
the two get the subs as well take Cal with a 50 hot damn it my man dragons last 49 with
a 21 month infinity.
Much love man much love big bears thank you for the 22 months.
Alright.
So from Ziegler right here alright everyone we're going a bit rogue here.
We have a bit of an experimental feature that's in development we want to test and
we love for you to help.
of Wednesday morning, 3-18, at 10 AM Pacific, we'll be enabling a limited time duo queue
on perimeter only to test how the game plays with Cruiser 2 at a wider scale.
Now I'm pouring things to notes.
It will be on perimeter only for now.
The test will last about two weeks, but we might cut it off early or elongated depending
on what's going on.
You can only get our duos with a premade group of you and another friend, no matchmaking
solo into duos, you'll be matched with other duos only. You can select primer duos from
the zone select screen to access it, not the final intended UX flow right now. Some things
will be a bit jank.
Before we go any further, can I just say, like I've never really dealt with Ziegler.
I didn't play Valorant. I don't know how he did things on the Valorant side, but
But I do appreciate just how candid he is about everything, you know what I'm saying?
I don't know what he was like on the Valorant side.
They're being speedy, but also just him delivering the message direct and just being just really
honest about stuff, you know what I'm coming from?
Like right here, the test will last about two weeks, but we might cut it off early
or elongated depending on what's going on.
More likely they're going to do that depending on if it's being received well or not,
You know what I'm saying?
Good comps, man.
Good comps.
Now just a note, this is a bit of an experimental feature, so we expect to learn some things
along the way and make changes to future versions of this.
This lightning won't be the final implementation of how it would look and flow in the game.
But for now, it was the easiest way for us to get it into you all to help us test.
We're excited to run this experiment with you all, pending what we learned.
We're hoping to expand duos as a cue in the future and we wanted to take this first step
sooner than later so we could understand how it affects our game better before investing
a lot more time and fleshing out the future.
Additionally, this is unlikely to be the last experiment we run, so look forward to
more as we continue to evolve Marathon for science.
And there is one thing that I feel like Bungie and Destiny really shot themselves
on the foot on is not including their community when it came to perfecting and evolving destiny.
I felt like with destiny, bungee had too much of a perfectionist mindset about things where,
you know, you had all this internal testing, which, which I get, you know, it's going,
that's great. But what would happen is you and I both know the moment that shit was released
to us, within the first 24 hours, we would find every bug, every glitch, Telesto be breaking
that thing.
You don't want to come in from, but also just the feedback on where it sits.
Granted, destiny is a rule that's supposed to continually build on itself.
And so giving people access to some things early wouldn't be good.
But I really wish like destiny, I really wish destiny could be in a position where
it is without there having to be, you know, communication going to the developers and then
develop or with internally between their playtesters. It goes directly from the community
to the developers. That's why I like one of the things like in-game polls and such.
This game is flopped as 2300 players.
You dumb fuck. The game's offline right now. You realize that, right?
This has got to be baked.
This just got to be baked.
All right.
So this is going live on Wednesday.
So if you were looking to play duos,
this will be an opportunity.
We're going to try it out for sure
and just see how it plays out.
You know, it's going to be a different, I would argue and say duos may potentially be more aggressive than trios. We'll see, but you're going to have a lot of teams on the map.
And who knows, man, it might be, it might be really good. It might be really good.
It might be really good.
Frabo and Vinny are gonna run without you, Cross.
No.
Wow.
So it's gonna be like that.
You know what duos is also,
you know what I can treat duos as?
Here's the crazy thing.
I'll play trios to get gold keys.
But then I load up in duos
To open those keys
So that you don't have to split the loot as much. You know what I'm saying?
You only got to split it with one other person think about it fellas think about it
With a team up with three you got to split that shit
But with just one other person
You know what I mean?
This greedy fuck whoa
I'm just trying to get as much mileage out of my loot.
That's it.
We should all be looking for that level of efficiency.
And by the way, I just want you to know,
Homp Car Escort Services,
can be provided even if you're a dual player.
If you're a dual player today,
if you have a gold key or a purple key,
you can join on me.
I will escort you to and from
the location of your treasures.
We will both get out alive
and you will have first choice
of everything in that room.
I'll just of course collect what I need afterwards.
Is there insurance?
Absolutely.
If you die and lose your loot on the way out,
Homcar Escort Services will provide you with
a SteelSeries headset or a shaker cup from GamerSupps.
Potentially one stick of RAM from StarForge.
That's about the best I can do the best I can do
Deal there we go boys. There we go. Maybe a mousepad
All right now let's take a look at this
And it's quite a bit quite a bit here boys
Marathon update 1.0 point five item economy added three new random road implant perks
that can only be found on implants looted from CryoArchive.
Covert recovery.
While in smoke, your self-repair speed is increasing
and you use healing consumables faster.
Freeloader.
Defeating an enemy with a knife attack
grants a small amount of tactical and prime ability energy.
Panic response.
While in low health, using a healing consumable
grants the effects of cordial kick for a short duration.
That's pretty nice.
Now added three new mods that can only be looted
Cryo Archive, punishment. This weapon deals significantly increased damage against redacted
combatants. Oh my God, these are named weapons. Or are these, no, they're new mods that can
only be looted from Cryo Archive. Okay, so are they gonna say what weapons it goes on?
Testaments. Aiming outside for a short duration increases this weapon's range and aim assist by
massive amount. Hurricane, wild airborne. This weapon has increased stability and greatly reduced
accuracy penalties. And it's sponsored kits. Rooks no longer gets a surplus sponsor kit upon death.
Okay. So, what weapons are these going to be on?
Oh, they're universal chips, new mods. Got you, got you. Okay. Well, redacted combats.
Obviously this is going to be the spit
You know what I mean, I would assume I would assume I don't know the percentage of how much damage it does. Yeah
Spoilers oh my god, dude. He's only been in the trailer watch a damn lore video. I
Literally just learn
With the spit where it were like a week ago. I thought it was the cabal
No, everything here is like a lot creepier than, well, I don't know.
We've got some levels of creepiness inside of Destiny.
Not just the compiler.
The compiler is a spit.
The typist, it's a typist spit.
Spit is the alien race, yes.
I just want you to know the first thing we're going to say to them when we come into contact.
I'm going to ask them to spit on that thing. Every lobby. Every lobby in unison. The moment they
see a compiler. It's going to happen, boys. I'm just letting you know. Fuck's sake. Hey, man.
Hey, it's just it's just it's just what happens
Let me tell you something you fuckers will hold a grudge
Against a damn gaming company
For like I don't know
The smallest micro transaction which by the way, I'm completely on board
But then there are people in this world that openly crypto-scammed the fuck out of you
And if you just get over it, I guess I don't know I don't get the fuck people just get over that shit
Like oh, oh
They left for a couple months come back. Oh, what's that was? How's it going?
Easy scam I have no grudges life is too short
Crosscoin coming soon. We we've been approached before about launching a crypto coin here with you guys, and I'm gonna be honest boys
I'm too much of a boomer for it
I'm too much of a boomer for I just
Look, look, I hope you guys are you know doing well with the crypto world. I'm just
One it just feels weird, you know I'm coming from there wouldn't be no value in that shit, you know
I
Don't even know
Like I would probably be like if a rug pool was to happen I would probably be just as rug pooled as you
You know what I mean? We would all be sitting there holding a bunch of shit-coins just being like damn
are we are we at the moon yet
Leave I with the 20 months. Thanks so much
When it's game coming back up 40 minutes guys 40 minutes
That's what all the other scammers said though, that's true. That's true. Look, I'll scam you in other ways eggplants
If I ever get back in a runescape, I'm gonna scan the fuck out of some of you and just let
you know, man.
Actually, I don't even know if you can scam in Runescape anymore, huh?
I used to love to put it on, like when I would buy an item, you know what I'm saying?
And what you would do is you would have to, you have to make up a story.
You're like, hey, I'm gonna buy that from you.
You know what I mean?
It might be, it might be some sort of holiday item.
And then you go, you put up the money and they're like, no, that's the wrong
mountain.
You're like, oh, let me go get more from the bank.
You run to the bank, run to the bank.
They watch and you run to the bank, get money out, come back, come back.
And you put the money up and then you pretend like you just, you DC'd or something, right?
And then, hold on a minute, then you put the money.
Maybe they say it's a million gold.
They want a million gold for it.
Put up a million gold, right?
By this point, they're impatient, okay?
They're going to hit accept immediately.
You put up a million gold.
They put up the item.
As they go to click, accept, you immediately turn that one million gold into 100,000, okay?
Or maybe 10,000, depending on what it looks closest to.
And so the moment it happens, you drop it to 10,000 and they hit accept, you hit accept,
they hit accept again on the second base, accept, and then before you know it, you
You just got the item at a fraction of the price.
Now, normally, it hits them almost immediately because they go, they walk away, they'll take
two steps and then they'll stop and they'll go, hey, what the heck?
And by that point, you need to log out.
You should close everything off.
go offline and log into another room.
Sometimes those scams work, most of the time they don't.
Cool story, Ankh.
Man, kids just don't know about it, man, everybody needs to go through this at least
once in their life.
back to the past notes. I'm just saying, dude, you would learn so much. You know how many people get
scammed in real life? Because they don't play it and play RuneScape. If you play RuneScape,
they prepare you for things. You know what I mean? You're always expected someone to fuck you,
okay? You're always looking for the scam. She's not a real girl. These are things that you,
people have to learn the hard way in real life. And if they just want to play RuneScape,
but at 13, 14, 15 years old, you wouldn't got these things. You see what I'm saying?
She's real to me.
Alright.
Combat!
Players can now activate X-Fill Beacons while downed!
Good luck.
How do we feel about that?
Oh, guys out there crawling away.
Shit, dude.
Now people are gonna like, people, we're gonna have so many crawlers now.
They're gonna be people that, that guy on the other side of the map and they're gonna
sit there and they're gonna freaking bleed out all the way to the Exfil beacon trying
to get out of that thing.
And it's gonna be hell to try to loot them.
At least now when people go down, they give up.
They know it's over.
Now everyone's gonna have hope.
Decrease camera shake intensity from incoming melee and knife attacks, okay?
Increase post run spectator camera timeout from 30 seconds to 120 seconds.
Oh, nice!
Yeah, I always want to watch, Conor, you know what I mean?
