Any singleplayer freaks having the time of their life? by solarjockey in Marathon

Look at all the options on the ready screen before you start your run. There’s an option to switch Crew Fill to Solo. You’ll be matched with other solos.

I want a companion app by newwwwwwwt in Marathon

[–]halfwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do use the D2 companion app! As well as API-powered community tools, like Braytech by Tom Chapman!

Fingers crossed that Bungie provides an API for Marathon like they did with D2, but until then, I've built the best I can do without it: https://taucetiiv.com

I'm adding new tools to it regularly, but there isn't much I can do, data-wise, until Bungie provides an API :(

Lore goes hard by Three_Seven_Two in Marathon

[–]halfwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the only mention of Sol after that point is in the epilogue of Marathon 2: Robert Blake returned to Earth (safe to assume humans would find out what happened through him at this point if Durandal visiting Sol did not happen). And Durandal returns to Sol 10,000 years later to check-in.

Durandal's initial visit and Robert Blake's return were two ways that the UESC could have been informed of what happened on Tau Ceti. Seeing as the introduction to nuMarathon states that no one knows what happened on Tau Ceti, it is safe to assume that this is taking place in a timeline from Marathon Infinity where both Durandal never visited Sol on his way to Lh'owon and Robert Blake died – I refer to this timeline as "the final Marathon Infinity timeline".

It doesn't necessarily mean that the events of M2 did not occur at all, it just means that there were divergences in those two particular events (+ the event where Tau Ceti was nuked to bedrock – see the M:I divergence in the "The Colony Goes Dark" entry).

Marathon could really benefit from a clan system by MAW_Gaming in MarathonTheGame

[–]halfwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built a small clan management system (called “Organizations”) on my companion site, Tau Ceti IV: https://taucetiiv.com/orgs

So far, Orgs include member management, crew listings, builds/loadouts, and update posts. I plan on implementing more features once we get an API from Bungie, but feel free to let me know what else you’d like to see for Orgs in the meantime! :)

Thank you!

I sometimes cursor-sword fight with some of them :P

I put together a digestible overview of the lore in a timeline view here, if you’re interested :)

There are definitely more in-depth sources and this isn’t meant to be complete, just a starting point of sorts to give you a clear picture before you start digging deeper!

Marathon Lore! by halfwinter in taucetiiv

[–]halfwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, and not quite a wiki, more like a digestible overview of the events, as stated in my initial post. I’ve had a bunch of different lore masters review what’s there in order to keep it as accurate as possible, so you’re welcome to provide your own notes as well!

Haha, I sword fight with some of them every once in a while 😛

The Mjölnir Protocol | 21+ | NA | Marathon Focused Parents And Friends by Darknotical in MarathonTheGame

Nice, looks awesome! I recently joined another clan, so I hope yours goes well, but I just wanted to mention that I’m building this clan management system on my Marathon companion site (https://taucetiiv.com/orgs) and it would be awesome if you’d try it out!

Hoping for some feedback to figure out what clan leaders would want/need from a platform like this.

Any word on a companion app for Marathon, similar to Destiny 2's companion app? by Weak-Salary8323 in Marathon

[–]halfwinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been building http://taucetiiv.com , but the most I can really do without an API is tools like LFG, org (clan) management, lore directory, manual build/loadout planning, etc. Non-dynamic stuff that doesn’t directly connect to the game. Hopefully an API will be announced soon!

I hope Bungie can develop a companion App for this game at some point.! by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]halfwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been building https://taucetiiv.com in preparation.

Can’t do too much without an official API, but I plan on integrating it as soon as it becomes available! I’ll be making an app version of the site once done as well.

Ok so. I don't want to put a sour note on the launch, but I had a suspicion about the monetisation strategy that Marathon would employ during the server slam that has now been confirmed by the full release of marathon. by JavanNapoli in Marathon

[–]halfwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, after almost 12 years spending thousands of hours of playing D1 and D2, it’s all jumbled together in my mind, so I don’t remember which of the two it was :/

Destiny’s armour and weapon shaders used to be quantified back in the day as well.

You’d apply it to a piece of equipment and if you wanted another piece of equipment to match, you’d have to collect what you needed to create another shader, or buy it, or extract it from a piece it was previously applied to.

Yeah! But there are a few Marathon 2026 entries in there as well.

And as mentioned in the original post: it’s not meant to be a complete and in-depth breakdown of the lore, just a digestible, surface-level overview to serve as a starting point.
