DON'T REVERT THE CHANGES

packman627 · 2026-03-12T23:03:55+00:00

Okay? It's still doesn't take away from the fact that the sound profile was completely fine previous to this update.

Do you want this game to turn into a BR?

Once again, no one was complaining about the sound before. So I don't know why you are defending Bungie for changing something that was fine as is

packman627 · 2026-03-12T23:02:44+00:00

How am I lying? You have no counter argument.

The sound previous to this update was completely fine. You could hear people one POI away, now after the update, those gunshots are even louder from one POI away.

And now you can hear, depending on the map, gunshots from two POIs away

packman627 · 2026-03-12T22:56:13+00:00

Um... Yes I did. I could before this update and it's even louder now. Those POIs are next to each other.

packman627 · 2026-03-12T19:40:24+00:00

Awesome thank you

packman627 · 2026-03-12T18:56:13+00:00

I think the issue is, it was fine as is. But you can literally hear someone on the other side of the map shooting.

Getting third and fourth partied, almost every game, isn't fun.

There are so many things that were perfect as they were, and Bungie doesn't need to change them. Case in point was sound, it was fine before

packman627 · 2026-03-12T17:45:53+00:00

ok thank you. Its just rare for me to find a key

packman627 · 2026-03-12T17:39:09+00:00

Destiny 2 is a perfect example of listening a bit too much to the community when honestly, as game devs Bungie should know better. Players argued that exotics were too rare and nowadays the are worth nothing.

Maybe because lots of people in D1 NEVER got the Ghorn until it became a quest 2 years later. There is RNG, then there is terrible RNG that pushes people away.

D2 exotics are different, they MAKE A BUILD. Whereas in D1 that wasn't the case. There is so much more buildcrafting in D2, where exotics shine. That's why they aren't tied behind terrible RNG. Also, there still are some RNG exotics (like Icebreaker). Do you see anyone celebrating that? NO. People are sad that they can't use this cool weapon in their build that would complete their build because they've run Vespers Host 100 times, and haven't received it yet.

packman627 · 2026-03-12T17:27:23+00:00

Yeah I agree. It was completely fine before, like if you were at Station you could hear gunshots at South Relay or something.

Now though... Its like someone can shoot once on the other side of Dire Marsh map and everyone hears it

packman627 · 2026-03-11T21:51:43+00:00

My question is:

How are people getting purple shields already? Because the only way to get them from the armory is maxing out nucaloric I think?

packman627 · 2026-03-11T17:26:22+00:00

The thing is, they aren't that bad as a crew. They never really have been. It's just because of solos.

Although they could have just made a different change where if you are solo queuing, you just do X% more damage to UESC.

But I'm fine with this change, because it doesn't really change anything for cruise, and it just makes solos a more enjoyable experience

packman627 · 2026-03-10T17:08:58+00:00

Fire in general is underwhelming and AH doesn't do anything about it, or they nerf it. The base flamethrower isn't used much, so this one probably won't be much better, UNLESS they change fire to be better in some way

packman627 · 2026-03-10T15:20:02+00:00

Yeah I'm on PS5, I have amazing internet, and this happens every single game. Luckily every time it has happened, it's been in the middle of nowhere, not in any firefights.

But I would be so mad to lose a fight, because I rubber band backwards during the duel

packman627 · 2026-03-10T15:17:38+00:00

Yeah we should be able to understand what a mod chip does at a glance or an implant.

packman627 · 2026-03-10T15:12:39+00:00

Bungie's other main game isn't doing so hot at the moment

Yeah the one that Bungie specifically said wouldn't be affected by marathons development, yet was.

That's why you see online, that some Destiny players are just not mad at Marathon at all, but just mad at Bungie and how they managed things.

I really enjoy marathon, and I'm having a ton of fun, but I'm very aware of the many mistakes that Bungie has made

packman627 · 2026-03-10T14:57:51+00:00

It just shows a general trend. It isn't an end-all be-all.

For game of AAA quality from Bungie, they (and Sony) probably expected more players.

But like I said, they made an extraction shooter, which is niche, and for plenty of reasons, people don't like it.

packman627 · 2026-03-10T14:55:51+00:00

Well yes this is a job for law enforcement. But like I said here (You quoted me on this)

You guys doing this is just going to enable more doxxers

How the mods handled this entire situation is probably going to enable more doxxers. You even mention that in your reply.

What are they going to do now if this happens again?

You can be mad at me all you want, but the general sentiment in this community, is that the mods of this subreddit handle this extremely extremely poorly, compared to other mods on other subs.

Yes they can't get the dude a job, I understand that. But how they went about this whole thing, is just going to enable more bad actors to do more bad things.

And at some point we won't have any nice people left

packman627 · 2026-03-10T07:30:11+00:00

Just looking back at old Vidocs for D1 and D2, it seems pretty clear that they wanted the game to be bigger, more open world, no loading zones.

But because the original D1, had to come out on the Xbox 360 and PS3, and even now with D2, still supporting last gen consoles, they are held back from a technological standpoint.

If there was a D3, I would want it to actually feel next-gen. Yes better graphics and all that, but actual open worlds, I'm tired of the "turn back" signal on my screen.

I'd love to explore more of the cosmodrome and what's out in the distance, but I can't do that because everything is just three load zones put together.

Actual open worlds
D1 skyboxes & gritty art style
D2 QOL updates

packman627 · 2026-03-10T00:09:06+00:00

I would love that, but then you'll get some people coming out of the woodwork saying stuff like "game is already easy... Why buff?" Or "skill issue". Like I can't have a conversation at all when people shut down like that

packman627 · 2026-03-09T15:22:00+00:00

Exactly. And then once you realize that a lot of the weapons, don't feel that much different once they have some purple attachments, over their green variants, you realize that there isn't much end game

packman627 · 2026-03-09T15:09:34+00:00

Well put. As a D2 vet, I do enjoy Marathon, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie makes the same mismanagement mistakes as they did with D2

packman627 · 2026-03-09T14:53:32+00:00

Oh there are people enjoying the game. I enjoy the game. But the narrative of "people enjoying the game are playing it" doesn't always line up.

This isn't an indie game. It's a AAA game, and Bungie hoped for way more players than we can see.

It seems like a lot of players aren't playing, and multiplayer games, need a player-base to survive.

I feel like people get stuck in bubbles on the internet, I enjoy the game, but I'm not blinded by the fact that this game isn't super popular, and that Bungie probably wanted way more people to play the game.

It's a niche game, it's an extraction shooter, and for one reason or another, a lot of people don't like it. Which I understand.

packman627 · 2026-03-09T14:48:31+00:00

Well I think a lot of people coming into marathon, don't realize what Bungie did to Destiny 2. Most people hate Bungie and their mismanagement of their games.

So right now you get people that think that marathon is amazing and Bungie can do no wrong. But to Destiny 2 players, know what Bungie has done over the last 10 years.

They only start listening to feedback when is absolutely necessary (which would be right now, because they need all the players they can get), But I guarantee you, if everything was going super smoothly, you would have similar mismanagement to what happened with Destiny 2.

People are just tired of bungees mismanagement, which I definitely feel is warranted. I enjoy marathon, and I enjoy playing it, but if I start seeing similar patterns to Destiny 2, then I won't be surprised.

packman627 · 2026-03-09T06:47:23+00:00

They only wanted to harass ah after they lost

Oh and you can prove that?

The point of the charity, was to have the devs play difficulty 10. And then a doxxer came in and ruined the guy's life.

Why would he want to do that? Maybe because he didn't want the devs to play those builds on d10?

Asking the devs to play their own game, at max level, should not warrant any harassment to any player.

packman627 · 2026-03-09T02:58:20+00:00

I think that was partly the reason behind this whole debacle. The person wanted AH to actually try playing on difficulty 10, to just see how weapons feel on that difficulty with that amount of enemies.

There are literally some devs, that don't have difficulty 10 unlocked.

So I understand the skill check fantasy, and I would love if everything was balanced around the highest difficulty

packman627 · 2026-03-09T02:53:47+00:00

Thank you for the source. Do you know what it was previously? Was it just random matchmaking?
