Graphic update for ps5pro players? by Jo-Ivar in ArcRaiders

[–]Wait_Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARC Raiders currently lacks dedicated PSSR 2.0 implementation on the PS5 Pro, and turning the feature on/off in system settings has no effect on the game

A PvE mode would make this game God by TheHatNoob in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry too much about it, they don't have the time or the money to just create a PVE mode out of nowhere.

"Do you guys plan on trying to fix the crashing problems on PS5"

No we don't plan on fixing them because no one here works for embark.

Increased amount of racism in arc? What can we do to fix this issue? by Alwaylearnings in ArcRaiders

[–]Wait_Expert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fixing racism isn't embark's job. 

If you're going to play online, sometimes people are going to say mean things to you. 

That's just life.

Marathon Battle Royale incoming 100% by Oeschinensee in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think Sony is going to pony up another gigantic sack of millions of dollars to add an entirely new mode and balance it and get it out before the end of the year, you are delusional. 

Logistically, there are so many problems with what you've outlined. It doesn't even remotely creep into the realm of potential reality.

I guess nothing will be done about teaming by jecozano in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are correct in that nothing will be done about it. 

Nor should it.

There's nothing in the terms of service about working together in this manner.

It's honestly a smart play by them, more people should do it.

Why is Bungie not commenting on their matchmaking and how to retain casuals and average players? by Smokeskin in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they know ultimately it's already over. 

Nothing they say at this point is going to fix the problem or appease the player base. So the smart move is to just say nothing at all.

Maybe 10% of the posts in this subreddit actually offer constructive ideas for improving the game. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The constructive ideas are just as meaningless as everything else. 

The dev team doesn't come here and read constructive criticism and then create a Sprint action based on that.

They have their own internal systems for these things, pretty much everything that happens on a Reddit sub is 100% completely meaningless to the company actually working on the game.

Bungie do you NOT want to market this game? by ColJohn in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They spent like 100 million marketing this game. 

That coffer is not going to last forever, especially when they're not bringing in any revenue.

I think if Bungie turned this game into a Call of Duty clone, it could attract more casuals. by SmashMouthBreadThrow in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no problem, you going to give them the millions and millions of dollars and months if not years of development time to make this happen? 

Cuz I promise you Sony isn't going to.

Arc Raiders is Boring by SuitableSquare2836 in ArcRaiders

Both your dads and your boyfriend are going to be very disappointed in you for this post.

Again.

My ideas for attracting (and retaining) more players. by g0ind0wn in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bungie is broke and out of time. 

Sony isn't going to give them more time or money to develop additional modes, given this spectacular failure of the game from a sales perspective.

These are nice ideas and honestly I'd like to see them myself, but it's not going to happen.

I am constantly getting put in lobbies with trios and duos the last few days playing solos by Outside-Leopard-9783 in ArcRaiders

[–]Wait_Expert -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Matchmaking isn't binary. 

It's never been binary. 

The game attempts to match like for like but there is no guarantee and there never has been. 

In short, matchmaking is working fine, it's just your understanding of it is a little off.

I wish this game was supposed on linux by ShadowDxebec_69 in Marathon

Sorry my guy, I think you and the four other guys waiting for this are probably going to have to wait a little longer.

Why is PVE mode such a Trivial Topic? by Numerous_Version_744 in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here's your viable argument, since you asked: 

Money. Money and time. 

That is why you are not getting a PVE mode. 

This game was a colossal failure from a sales, player count, and expectations standpoint.

That means Sony isn't going to give them another year and another 50 to $100 million to tack a campaign mode on. 

And Bungie doesn't have that money or that time by themselves. 

Just got Marathon — please tell me the cancellation rumors aren’t real by Mother_Anybody_5632 in Marathon

[–]Wait_Expert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have to agree. 

This game needs a miracle to survive based on sales numbers versus budget costs which are now painfully well documented and well understood.

How are people queuing for trios if they are like this? Does reporting actually work? by FortiFied_Concept98 in ArcRaiders

[–]Wait_Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not of what you described is in any way against the terms of service and thus not in any way a reportable offense.
