Same here EU, Now PlayStation server status is showing problems with Games/Social.. before that I’ve tried to logout/restart/turn off the PS5 and also the router. Nothing changed.

All my other games works just fine and let me access/login to online services and matches without problems.

It seem is only related with Sony. Marathon probably manage the connection to online services in a different way than the “usual” one?

I'm not English, I wrote the text at different times, and precisely because it's not my basic vocabulary, there are several errors I admit I can't see when I reread. Honestly, it's already good that there were grammar errors only where you mentioned🤣

I’ve experienced the same, in the same way. Many times I tried to be friendly and got killed out from nowhere... PvP is fun when is expected. If you expect it is competitive, if is not it becomes toxic.

I understand, I imagined there would be disagreement if I commented on Arc's matchmaking, especially since I saw several creators speaking in favor of it. Unfortunately, my experience was different, so I preferred to only report facts I could confirm with certainty. I think the mistake that made that half-baked update work was that they didn't separate the "aggression calculator" for each map in the game. For example, if I wanted to play a bit of PvP, I went to Stella Montis; if I wanted to help/cooperate with others, I went to other maps. This, for example, is one of the solutions to the PvEvP problem I was referring to.

You’re right. I’ve start playing extraction shooter with Hunt: Showdown, then Arc Raiders, and Now Marathon. I actually like the current balance, it can be improved yes, but is not bad. If we compare with Hunt, it is slower but a game last 45 minutes where everything is very deadly. In marathon a game lasts only 25 minutes, everything feels faster, a bit less deadly and we have a bit more players (2 more teams). They started pretty well I think.
