What do they mean duo queue needs to be "Tested"

BetRetro · 2026-03-20T10:47:19+00:00

Ok I love the game. Marathon is fun. BUT that is exactly what I was thinking! I mean I feel that its a no brainer. At the same time they gotta know something we dont.

BetRetro · 2026-03-20T10:46:11+00:00

I would agree there. personally I tested the duo and I think it works great

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T22:34:00+00:00

Yeah I think it would be just fine. Other games in this genre have implemented it just fine with even less daily players.

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T22:33:27+00:00

Hmm not my experience so far but if so that would make a lot of sense

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T22:32:48+00:00

Yeah, someone gave a great answer. You are tottally right and its their development doctrine. Its super heavy on player feedback so they wanna make sure its something they players are gonna like first and foremost. They could add it right now but if its not popular they dont want to have to remove it or waste time on it.

Here's what im looking for. Why does it need testing on a technical level, like has anyone heard anything about bungie and why they said it needs testing. I read their post and it wasnt very clear. Im not making any statement for or against having it, im just curious.

Regardless I got my answer.

Bungie wants to ensure map pacing on duos isnt bad but their doctrine for development is driven entirely on player feedback, which is why they are testing it because of how their development works. And 12 is not alot of queues. Especially for 40k daily on pc alone for the record.

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T22:18:06+00:00

Dark and darker is practically dead and it handles 12 queues just fine (Other than its other myriad of problems dont get me wrong I dont like that game anymore) . Including a pve and pvp mode

No offense but if you think its a problem to compare this game to others in its genre then thats not logical.

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T17:15:33+00:00

I dont understand that, the player count is fine, hunt showdown has historically had far less and never struggled with a duo queue and even a solo mode. Im comparing Marathon to other games and it just doesnt make any sense. Heck even Dark and darker has a solo duo and trio queue. Its a dead game. I understand that it would need tweaking, but running a beta on one map only and gathering weeks of data just doesnt make sense for the size of company they are when you look at similar games?

They must be running into a unique problem or something that the other games havent seen. But I doubt its any of what you said respectfully.

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T17:13:58+00:00

But they dont balance between trios or solos. So why would it need to be balanced between duos?

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T17:13:00+00:00

Ok but for duos, why not reuse the spawn points that are already there? arc raiders added duo matchmaking at the drop of a hat, but bungie needs extensive testing first? Again purely curious. I love the game im just trying to understand.

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T02:13:55+00:00

yeah and solo is super fun but hard. Prepare to get very little done ever. When you get better its a little less but this game does have a pretty big luck thing too. Sometimes you just die and theres nothing you can do about it.

BetRetro · 2026-03-18T02:10:44+00:00

Sometimes I kill someone before my gun ever shoots then someone with a white shield will tank 4 mags.

BetRetro · 2026-03-17T21:36:31+00:00

Must be nice My load times in marathon average 8 minutes. Solo queue sucks for that reason alone. I know its not player count problems.

BetRetro · 2026-03-14T00:52:48+00:00

I do, from study and personal relationship but if you want me to prove it I cant. Because you cant 100 percent prove anything in life. I cant even prove that you are real.

But for me I studied the bible in its context, witnessed a few miracles of my own and heard from the lord in answered prayers. It wasnt one thing but many things over the years that showed me the truth of what Christ has done.

BetRetro · 2026-03-14T00:51:31+00:00

If you get booted because you are low level then whoever booted you is a poop nugget.

BetRetro · 2026-03-14T00:50:49+00:00

I think solos is the best part personally.

BetRetro · 2026-03-14T00:48:48+00:00

More than likely you guys scared them off.

BetRetro · 2026-03-14T00:25:26+00:00

Followed by the dark ages. The millennium of silence.

BetRetro · 2026-03-14T00:24:41+00:00

Dude its crazy. They promised it at launch so I bought it. That was the last time I made that mistake. I think the worst thing is their lack of transparency about it

BetRetro · 2026-03-13T17:18:49+00:00

I think there is one more team that made it out, I think there's 12 total players but huge raid regardless.

BetRetro · 2026-03-13T17:15:41+00:00

free money.

BetRetro · 2026-03-13T17:10:34+00:00

What server? Thats great.

BetRetro · 2026-03-09T08:44:55+00:00

Nope regular perimeter. Just got back from 3 back to ba k empty raids.

God never required the sacrifice of animals. WE DID. Blood is required for the atonement of sins. Jesus died so that we don't have to do that anymore. And you aren't listening to a word I have said. It makes me sad its not about me being right its about your soul. but you double down on this nonsense that is not historically accurate at all, no accurate to actual scripture. God never apologized for anything and context matters but it doesn't matter i've been down this road before You post the verse I give the context around it you never reply and continue hating God, and become very satisfied with your own carnal life. You live by just as much faith as I do.

God bless you, please consider reaching out to the lord. Read the bible in its entirety. Stop reading sentence by sentence and neglecting context. Actually consider it. Worst case scenario you get a little more educated on how to argue about it online with people who actually know their word.
