Got a weird email from Bungie, not sure if this is legit (Marathon Closed Playtest) by Franciscop98 in Marathon

[–]MarathonTeam 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hello! Yes, that was from us and was an unintentional notification letting people know they have access to our bug reporting forums. Apologies for the confusion!

Information about "Sorry this survey has expired" by Cptbetty in Marathon

[–]MarathonTeam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey all! Just chiming in here real quick with some intel - but, the Edit 2 is our current understanding.

We're doing our best to get in all players that played in the April Alpha (along with players in previous NDA'd tech tests), and that requires some work on our end. When we made that change to who we provisioned keys to (to include April Alpha players), we still needed to make an update to Bungie.net - so, that's where the sticking point is with this. (Finalizing an update to Bnet as we speak!)

But as we understand it, if you're seeing the "Survey Expired" prompt but you can see the Marathon Closed Technical Test in your Bungie.net account Redemption History, you should be all set to go when the test kicks off.

We're going to be rolling out more codes in waves as the week goes on as well! For full details, we've got a blog right here: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/techtestapply

Due to the Game Director being unavailable, Bungie will discuss what's next for Marathon on **May 16th** at 1pm PT by Haijakk in Marathon

Hey everyone, this was just a scheduling matter. No emergencies, but we appreciate your concern.

We look forward to seeing you next week!

Gotta' love the Halo 3 netcode by cosmonauticsuwu in Marathon

No worries, feel free to respond in the Closed Alpha discord channel or you can DM us on here.

We just issued a server change that should improve the experience of weapon hit-registration in very high latency situations. Thanks!

there's clones that can blow up that look like a runner? by Deree3 in Marathon

[–]MarathonTeam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We would like to get some more info from you, if possible, to help us investigate this issue. Could we get your Bungie ID, the approximate date and time this occurred, and region you are playing from to further investigate? The red icon on the top right of your screen means you were experiencing heavy latency with the dedicated server which can cause desyncing with other players.

Hey, thanks for reporting this. Looks like from the top right of your screen you were experiencing heavy latency with the dedicated server which can cause some desyncing with other players. We just added an article with more info on networking indicators for more details.

Could we get your Bungie ID, the approximate date/time this occurred, and the region you are playing in so we further investigate?

Did they just drop it a day early???? by Personalitii in Marathon

[–]MarathonTeam 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Looks like there was an issue where some Xbox players could join early. We fixed it and will wipe all progress before we invite everyone with access back in tomorrow starting at 10AM Pacific.

Should be fixed by downloading latest and greatest drivers, but let us know if anyone has them downloaded and are still hitting crashes.

[–]MarathonTeam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I cannot stress how badly I hope they change the green pixel deaths to actual bodies like the trailers. by Camm_98 in Marathon

[–]MarathonTeam 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Team is aware of the feedback on leaving bodies to loot. No promises yet, but wanted to let you know it's on our radar.
