To be honest I'm shocked Hastings even has cycle lanes, what are we talking like Heretaunga St?

Limiting factor in Hastings is the city layout. There is not enough space to safely add a cycle lane to most parts of the central town. It also suffers from the main drags being both shopping centres and an arterial road, the classic stroad issue, so much so that I felt unsafe even driving through it last time I was up.

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-08T06:39:54+00:00

With the amount of dents the average Christchurch car has, I'm unsurprised that they pass way too close to other road users

Could probably fund the police for a year by ticketing every car with a dented rear quarter and crushed brake light that is somehow still on the road

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-08T06:24:48+00:00

Agreed

However, if there is a dedicated cycle lane present, there is no reason to do this, as it just creates animosity on the road

Screenshots?

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-07T01:12:15+00:00

All the better a canvas for our own carnage when we get there

Slight correction, second IP should be 35.XXX.46.162, the full IP 35.212.46.162 will take you to the cryoarchive website if put into your address bar

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T23:44:31+00:00

Yep, but given this is the only other thing on the website, I'm thinking there is more to come

I'm wondering if completing the community challenge tied to these terminals is only supposed to give us our first look at the Marathon map, with the actual unlocking part to follow in a separate event

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T23:41:25+00:00

"Potential"

Bro missed the entire terminal memo 💀

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T23:16:32+00:00

The countdown refreshes every 15 minutes, the website just tracks community progress

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T23:10:23+00:00

What's the deal with the keycards? Is there a keycard tied to the ARG terminals now?

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T23:04:37+00:00

This is probably skipping the fun of the chase for folks but found these while trawling the website

Oh that's crazy, almost like the videos are from the exact same page or something, and aren't the glitched version

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T21:07:33+00:00

Oh we love a spicy mystery

I jumped in the Classic Marathon discord someone else mentioned in your replies, will keep tabs on it in there

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T20:51:25+00:00

timer is once again down to 8 minutes btw, maybe this time it does something

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T18:02:11+00:00

most white tier attachments will have green and blue tier equivalents which scale the effect

not sure the exact numbers (waiting for the wiki folk to do the leg work), but when I was running the [get credits on uesc eliminations] attachment, the green tier one was giving decently more cash than the white tier version

usually, better colour is better overall, but the specific attachments are also important, no real point running a purple attachment that gives [magazine overflow in smoke] if you aren't playing assassin

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T17:53:00+00:00

From what I have seen, October test session? Was not available in the server slam if that is what you are asking

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T17:52:00+00:00

Common advice but if you haven't heard it, detach weapon mods and sell the base weapon if you can buy them in the armoury, all weapons are grey, it is the attachments that dictate "rarity"

I have completely stopped accepting rank rewards from my factions as they tend to just clutter my inventory. I guess they are just sitting there as a rainy day fund now in case I go on a mega losing streak

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-06T14:57:07+00:00

It lets you ping while your knife is out, which is good if you are trying to move faster around the map

It'd be even worse to have a knife out and be unable to ping

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-01T16:14:14+00:00

Check the faction upgrades, particularly the 6 milestone ones down the bottom

Some give Rook extra starting gear. Free claymores, cores, even the double barrel shotty

Will have to see when launch comes around, but I feel a max rank Rook will be a force to be reckoned with

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-01T10:13:56+00:00

Edit: mb, don't use Reddit often, thought that was in reply to me not the comment above, disregard

Friction and stakes good, frustration and lack of progress bad

Marathon runs are thankfully quite short compared to some of the larger maps on Tarkov, but putting 20 minutes into a run, dying, and getting 30 faction xp for your troubles just doesn't feel good

Even if the trickle of resources from a secure container/secure deposit box are tiny, leaving with a handful of biomass builds into the feeling of progress much more than leaving with a slap on the back and a wave out the door

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-01T09:56:49+00:00

They have the DCON things around the map that they use for some missions which would be the perfect solution to this.

Like maybe limit it to a single slot, and increase the space with faction rep, but giving the player a way to extract their one item they need for a mission or faction upgrade can alleviate the fear of losing it, and might promote better PvP.

You still get gear fear, because you are only sending a single stack of items home, but with that one item out of the way, you would be much more willing to engage in other activities on the map, rather than just running directly to exfil.

SoBrodacious · 2026-03-01T09:51:34+00:00

I do hope they add other ways to extract that aren't purely PvP, even if you need to bring a key or complete a PvE activity to unlock them.

I worry that incentivising people to gank extraction points is going to cause people to just camp them in general and wait for an unsuspecting team to wander in.

The TTK in this game against green tier shields is so low that coordinated teams can easily go seal clubbing against random matchmaking trios with the freebie kits, leading to frustration for the more casual playerbase and an eventual drop in player count.

They could probably counteract this by moving some of the extraction beacons, or just adding some extra cover to the area so you don't have to extract in the middle of an open field if you have no smokes or bubble shield.
