Actually, according to my inside sources
The reason the Marathon population dropped so much on Steam is that everyone moved from PC to PS5
That's why retention remains high, this is what the chuds don't actually get
The split is more like 99.999999999% PS5, and the rest is Steam
The team is jamming
Everyone currently working on Destiny 2 is being moved to Marathon
And Bungie is hiring 1000 new employees for Marathon
We are jamming
The future is looking bright for us Marathonbros

Bungie's current era writing killed all interest in destiny. Making it a point of advertisement that the atudio is retconning everything gay and fixing the universe, will garner more interest than anything else they could do. Destiny's(1) launch was the biggest new ip launch of all times, bigger than Avatar's opening. The people that like bungie's new writing and the new gay destiny universe, are all that left playing now. Bungie could tell the fags to fuck off just like they once told the chuds, and go back to being a company with 1mil ccu on their flagship game.

Rape? Ing.

People wouldn’t care about the gay retcon or the traumadumping arcs if it didn’t come at the expense of so much more interesting stories that could actually be told. Like more fun adventures with the Drifter, why not go back and explore that one “choice” during his season in Forsaken that went literally nowhere? Or if they actually made it to where we finally visit Old Chicago. It’s been years since we knew it was cut from D1, it’s been teased and constantly dangling over the community’s head as a place that actually exists in universe, and it’s only now in the EoF era of the game that we seem finally close to accessing it. And that’s still assuming that we’re even getting those two other expansions at this rate and they didn’t pull the plug to focus on Marathon.

If Ikora Rey was white and wasn't bald and had big fat tits and a nice ass, Destiny would be alive and not a laughingstock

>eh, rising proved that the core playlist activities can be improved on. Gambit is objectively better in rising

Maybe they could make a Destiny game that is a compilation of the best content from Destiny and Destiny 2 like Strikes, Crucible, Dungeons, Raids, Exotic Missions while the tower acts as a central hub for these playlists.
Destinations and Patrol Zones? Removed.
Story? Removed.

Because if the game was just legacy content then why would you even bother implementing Patrol Zones or Witch Queen and House of Wolves? And this doesn't even consider how vastly different D1 and D2 are, the gear in D2 is fucking clown shit for the most part, and this is one of those things that I've always believed D1 did better.
And a lot of weapons and armour from D1 looked and felt similar to one another which I think was neccessary for making unique drops stand out like event horizon or atheon's epilogue. The problem with D2? It's too essentric, legitimately some legendaries look more exotic than actual exotics in that game.
Ultimately I would prefer just being able to play D1 again.

Normies care about the gay retcons and trauma dump arcs. The gaming public has shown with their wallets that they prefer games that offer escape from real world dramas, and games that respect the players commitment to learn about the game. If every time you learned something new about the destiny universe, whether through grimoire, campaign events, or any other in game source, then you go to talk to a friend about it a year later, and the ingame information you learned was directly retconned by more recent in game material, you'd stop caring about the universe of destiny. Why bother inveating in it at all, if the developers rewrite the whole thing every other month on a whim, and completely ignore their own in-universe rules.

Seriously. The guy could've just went and said something like "Yeah we've thought about adding it back but it wouldnt exactly be like twilight garrison. We'll see what happens in the future but no promises."

>In the beginning, your world was a garden too. The whole floor of the world-sea was a mat of bacteria, and the very first animals, adorable blobs of ooze, grazed upon that mat in endless idyll. They had no concept of the existence of other beings. Why would they? Their most complex function was a kind of gentle spasm, to scoot forward while they grazed. And if they bumped into each other on that warm seabed, all they did was ooze onward, untroubled. There was nothing to their life except the uptake of carbon compounds from the bacterial bed.

>And then—one day—the fall occurred. So much earlier and so much more necessary than your myths remember. Some poor mutant discovered that it could collect carbon compounds much faster if it stopped grazing on the bacterial mat and started dissecting and eating the lumps of predigested carbon all around it: its neighbor oozeballs.

>It couldn't help but do it. It couldn't help but thrive. We don't get a choice about the rules. We just play the game.

>It was the first defector—the first predator. It changed everything. Now the oozeballs needed sensors to watch for danger, and brains to integrate those senses and generate plans of survival, and swift neurons and muscles to enact that plan. This was the Cambrian Explosion, the great birth of complex life on your world. I caused it. I, the defector, the destroyer, the one who takes.

They had found such a good villain in the Winnower, a BBEG that is such a fundamental part of reality you can't even imagine a world without it, to be fought in an eternal philosophical struggle. Perfect for a GaaS.

Someone didn't see during years of development that they were making Trials of Osiris but with Battle Royale and thought everything would be fine.

You know it's bad bad when people are nostalgic over things they considered objectively mediocre or even terrible at the time of its release. Things really do just get shittier don't they?

>>566731258
I think Destiny 2 at release still had at least some of the soul of Destiny even if it was just a fraction. But current Destiny 2 or even post Shadowkeep doesn't evoke any such feelings anymore not in the music or worlds. Its funny how they use leitmotifs in the music tracks and it grew tiresome hearing the same guardian theme every damage phase on every boss.

I miss the hype leading up to Edge of Fate

>>566727907
Bottom Solar Lock gutted was absolute bullshit especially with that one particular loop with old Dawn Chorus when it basically let you loop an ignition chain off grenades and melee, the classic GM Hallowed Lair wave rounds on Fikrul were a prime example when you could wipe things with a solar grenade and punch. Yanes is just very stereotypical powerdrunk dickhead nerd gone rogue and vindictive. There's always tons of these guys in game dev and it's also on management for not tard wrangling these people.

I guess Datto won in the end becoming a Korean woman, he knew Marathon was going to be a bit of a train wreck and didn't even begin to bother to deal with it. I also love how there's this crisis with the people who require streamers to tell them what to do where people think there needs to be build and guide videos for Marathon but with RNG being a constant, it's a little tough to say more than, get these upgrades they're mandatory and if you find x,y,z mod, use them, the end. It seriously feels like I've taken crazy pills how these coping idiots were thinking this would be some phenomena game because "they got voice actors who've been in things!" and there's less cut scenes than Destiny

>>566731621
The thing about Y1 D2 was that we were still craving more and had to wait a year after rise of iron. D1 was considered pretty good and unique by the end of its lifespan, bungie still had the reputation to get away with murder so everyone patiently waited for them to pull another TTK during y1 and we got that with Forsaken. Yeah the double primary thing was hot garbage and the red war sucked ass but it was still destiny and the first major expansion made the wait feel worth it, and yeah like you said the game still had some of that D1 soul. It's sad to see how something that was so fundamentally solid was so close to standing the test of time but couldn't because of nothing other than retardation and genuine hatred for the original target audience

>>566731768

>>566732489
Yeah its genuinely baffling how bad they bottled it. This might be a huge hot take but I'd take double primary sandbox over the current sandbox we have now. Ideally though would have the D2Y1 ability sandbox and the weapon system of D1.

>>566732967
only from retards

>>566732094
The "proto-ignitions before ignitions were a thing" built into old bottom tree was my favorite part of it, it made Winter's Guile usable in the sandbox back then to chunk bosses and let Warlock have a melee build that wasn't "press one button to clear the entire room" like the Arc slide is now
Call me nostalgic or whatever but I genuinely prefer the old subclass system, "having restrictions and variety in choices made" is better than "having all the options all the time, but they're all kinda shit"
>Yanes is just very stereotypical powerdrunk dickhead nerd
I still remember the Forsaken showoff stream where he couldn't land hits with Luna's Howl on barely moving enemies while using a controller. It really characterizes everything he did in sandbox design as "revenge against people who hurt his ego by beating him" more than anything else.

>>566732967

It’s a lot of that nerd ego. Luke had it when he tried to make “watchable content” and give this inflated sense of things all because he was hung up on glory days of WoW even though anybody who was there knew AQ scepter title was more round the clock strength in numbers than the individual’s ability. Also there was some huge differences depending on the server and were you on the more populated faction etc. Tyson had it because he loved Diablo so much but failed to realize the biggest pitfall that killed D4 where nobody wants some pseudo basement to the end game padding out the last 10s of levels to finish out to end cap. Also loot drops were way to stingy to fully implement as frequent wiping and locking the whole new gear bonuses. The fact how Bungie never said shit about where Raid or Dungeon would fit in the new gear conversation is also troubling. Imagine Epic Desert only having its shit around for 2 months

What is even more idiotic, AE failed to work as they advertised, aka 'you will shoot exactly where you aim' (insert that infamous clip where a streamer uses most available buffs to AE and misses while firing a perfectly lined sniper shot into a stationary target).

>>566755731
>failed to work as they advertised
But it did work as intended (to make everyone quit playing in the air).
And on top of that, if you did literally everything possible to "build into it," it WOULD work as before, meaning they didn't technically lie in the advertisement, because they said you'd have to put "heavy investment" into AE to do that. They never give explicit terms on promises so they can hide behind them when it comes out they're using the worst interpretation of their own words.
Bungie is second to none in fake promises, half-truths and weaseling around explicit statements in the games industry except maybe Chris Roberts with the constant mental gymnastics to always change what they originally promised, but this isn't a thread for Star Citizen so I won't mention it more

I fucking hate game devs none of them deserve the air they breathe

>>566755731
Airborne effectiveness was one of those changes that made the game generally better for 90% of players, but the streamers and the sweatiest players cried like children for months to make sure the game was just that little bit worse, which in turn kept people out of the Crucible. I swear every major issue this game has leads back to Bungie trying to keep twitch happy. Bungie has always been more concerned with the narrative over the reality when it comes to game balance.

Because it's a business shortcut. Instead of spending a $100,000 to attract 10,000, players, save $90,000! Spend only $10,000 to attract 10 streamers, and those streamers will order their 1000 lemmings each to play your game! It's foolproof!

For me personally it was an obnoxious turd that made me miss hand cannon shots at retardedly close distances in PvE because I dared to jump and shoot at the same time after years of this causing absolutely no issues with accuracy.

>>566757737
Not even jumping
The game engine thinks you're in air if you walk on any ground that isn't flat.
Consider how much of every Crucible map isn't perfectly flat terrain. Little pebbles, stairs, ramps, any of it.
AE was the most shortsighted decision Bungie made in terms of the shooting part of the gameplay itself

>>566757737
Yeah Bungie did it to nerf you. That was the point. You would have still won 90% of your fights, but the people you killed would actually see you, maybe if you were not literally invisible at the time. This is how stuff works in Marathon now and Bungie is playing stupid about why they're bleeding players like it's a race to the bottom.

>>566758416
>in PvE
I'm sure those dregs are happy now that I have to stand on solid ground while shooting them. I couldn't care less about the red minigame or its mold or piss colored strains.

>wasn't the Adept Icarus Grip mod part of the problem
It was double the strength of regular Icarus Grip, so that's why they used it. Don't blame the players for Bungie making a bandaid fix to a problem they created.
If you used any weapon, if you wanted to still hit shots while walking on stairs you had to use it. Regular Icarus Grip wasn't enough for most weapons, because the overwhelming majority of weapons that are good in PvP had absurdly low AE, which was by design to force people to sit on the ground (unless they played Dawnblade with Heat Rises, thanks Kevin)

this wouldn't have been a problem if crafting was rare and special
but they just shat out craftable weapons so each season you had like 7 new craftable weapons
and it also took dozens of activity completions to get red borders and then extract them(i cant remember did you have to level up a weapon before being able to extract the pattern? they changed this mechanic so many times) so by the time you have got the ability to craft a weapon you have already done idk 50 activity completions and then had to do a dozen more
repeat 7 times
this took most people most of if not all season to do, so people were just on an endless craftable weapon grind which made the game and loot in general feel dogshit

Bungie usually uses D1 gear in concept art, presumably because it has fewer tiny details to bother with.

Also I dunno if you guys saw in the OP pic I used but theres a 4 wheeled vehicle that we've never seen before or at least I haven't seen it until now. I guess its a suped up ATV? Would've been cool if it was our version of halos warthog

They had retarded systems, like, to collect a red border you needed to find a weapon with a red border and level it up first by killing or completing activities, they had multiple resources that were assigned to perk groups and that you needed to craft. It was just one big trouble, and that was after they scraped their initial brilliant idea to have a unique crafting resource FOR EVERY SINGLE PERK IN EXISTENCE.

>>566767063
I memba when it was leaked that they were working on vehicles that could have multiple players on them like Halo. Think it was the original Witch Queen leak which also had a ton of stuff about the 30th annivesary which got cut like a bunch of the Halo crossover stuff.

>>566768454
He is making it up
The Puma was a German 8-wheeled armored car in the second world war, don't listen to him

>>566768536
the unique resources would work as long as the inventory was uncapped, but it really wasn't

dmg was brutally raped in the sweltering summer of 2025

>>566768660
They slashed it idea because it was way too overwhelming even by their standards. And, I guess, because their engine would shit itself.

>>566769341
that's an implementation issue i.e. a skill issue. not a design issue

>>566766840
That makes sense
>>566768549
You got any screenshots or remember which vehicles they were wanting to create?

>>566769741
Nah, it was just text in that witch queen leak.

it's everything after Beyond Light. sometimes i'll randomly hum to myself music from Beyond Light but i can't think of a single track from the later expansions other than one of the actiony ones from Lightfall. Europa is a much better destination than what came after and i think it's the last good one. and the atmosphere is far superior too
i don't think it went off of a cliff immediately after BL but it was a very steep decline before the cliff

>Bungie does the bare minimum and puts in features that should've been there from the beginning
>FUCK BUNGIE COOKED MARATHON IS SAVED!!!
I can already see the glazing of it now from the shills. Bungie is doing the bare minimum with these small changes and the shills are trying to make it out like Bungie just dropped Forsaken every week since the game came out.

>>566775187
I still wonder how much of Europa was designed for D1 and was then repurposed to D2. I still liked the Throne World in WQ, but Europa feels like it’s part of a different game when compared to Neomunda, The Pale Heart or Kepler.

>>566777608
Frankly it wouldn’t be a shock. Bungie let down Sony time and time again, and their parent company just had to explain to their investors that even though Bungie is now worth 700 million dollars less than when they bought it, they still believe in them and by extension Marathon. They had to say that publicly of course, but behind closed doors Sony has to be fucking furious with how embarassed they feel consistently having to protect their worst investment.
It would be also explain why Cross suddenly threw out phrases like
>We may just get one Renegades sized expansion per year
>We aren’t getting a D3.
His contacts were blunt and the “vibes” throughout the studio is absolutely the worst they’ve ever been in history.

>>566781304
Man, I'm still tripping over Paul Tassi calling it "selfish" to want something he'd like to buy to come out of Bungie. That's not selfish; that's called being a customer. Nobody owes Bungie their support, especially if they're not making anything you want to buy.

>>566782683
That’s just how deep the psychological hold Bungie has over their fans. You want Bungie to do absolutely more than the bare minimum like other smaller devs can? You expected Marathon to have a casual thrown together Arena mode for fun or for priority contracts to load you into solo instances to learn how to play the game? That just means you’re a fucking entitled CHUD that has no idea what it’s like to work on games!

I really thought Marathon would hold 10k concurrent at least.
I guess it is the end of the "season", there will be a surge with S2 but we'll probably start seeing sub 10k peaks soon.

My prediction for Marathons second season is a peak of 30k and that’s being generous

>>566784136
i thought they would hold at 50 for like 4 months
when they dropped below 50k not even a month in i literally could not fucking believe it.

>>566785843
Marathon did itself no favors by being extremely light on content. It’d be one thing if it at least had a standard team deathmatch playlist to pass the time for those that got burned out on the extraction game mode, but it didn’t even have that.

File: 1590896242021.png (468.3 KB)

>>566785453
Wouldn't surprise me if it had a bigger role in the story originally but they cut it out because time travelling/dimension hopping boat would just be too similar to the borealis from Half Life.

>>566777608

>>566805376
I agree, OG Marathon that is of course, not whatever vomit they came up with now and decided to call Marathon.

>>566807668
wasn't there a big humble bundle sale for like 30 bucks for the entire franchise?

>>566807910
Ah right I think there was. Destiny2 daily active users getting propped up by South Americans I guess.

>>566777608
As they should be. Revenue is falling. The only way they don't take another giant drop in valuation is by cutting expenses. Their team is bloated, slow and not producing shit.

>>566807668
I suspect like hunt, that D is benefiting from people fleeing marathon.

>>566808569
It could also be because there were some Destiny players that bought Marathon not because they were really sold on the game, but just because they figured they had to bail out Bungie yet another time so there wouldn’t be mass layoffs impacting new Destiny content. And after those Destiny fans truly gave it a chance, they dropped the game when they realized it was so lacking in content as a stand-alone release, let alone as a potential expansion. It would probably have just worked as Forsaken or Shadowkeep’s equivalent of The Divison’s Dark Zone tops, and that’s being generous.

Idk about you guys but I literally skipped every single dialogue vendor cutscene or holoprojectir cutscene because it was time waster bullshit trying to connect pieces of the story I didn't really give a shit about and I think i still mostly understand what was happening in the seasons that had that shit

>>566835241
Nah, the marathon thread was nothing but the same reddit shill copypastas, and everyone else shiting on the game. After a marathon thread reaches critical failure of not being able to sway public opinion, they delete the thread to try again later. All it takes is a few knowledgeable anti-shills to get the jannies/shills to delete their own threads.

Im talking about the parts where its like
>return to the goyim projector to get your story dump and poop reward
Always skipped that shit and moved on to farming. Its not like the dialogue prompt forced you to look at the whole thing. The only thing unskippable was the loadscreen that had to take me there

>>566836107
it literally does tho
most seasonal stories gate you behind triggering projectors voice lines at certain points.

>>566836801
Yeah the projector lines show up but you can press escape to skip the cutscene and claim your reward and move on
Theirs forced moments where you watch 2 characters talk face to face but the vendor dialogue is skippable

>>566834215
What's that?

>>566837092
It was always so awkward when you just show up as a mute third wheel to some intimate conversation between two characters and you just stare or dance around them while the cutscene finishes.
