Marathon 2025 - Bungie's new AAAA Extraction shooter

They will say pve loot can't integrate with PVP servers and yet you have sweat rooks not laying anything on the line soloing the average casual trio.

Like just make the pve content sufficiently difficult enough and then there will still be enough of a risk that's it's not unfair to bring that loot into pvp because if the game is all about risking your shit why do rooks even fucking exist?

I don't feel like putting all of the pve content in a self contained cuck chair is the way to go if you want more casuals. It's not like it's going to be raining yellow items and I think if you do get a couple you have every right to try bringing it into pvp because you're still probably gonna lose it sooner or later.

Rooks are fucking terrible this season, ive seen maybe a dozen of them in all the raid's ive played. Sweat or not, my 3 stack is going to gape that guy's asshole, they are just that bad right now.

The only way they get loot is by beating people to the punch in pinwheel or by hoovering up all the trash teams leave behind like the pathetic scavenger they are.

That whole "risking your gear" thing kind of goes out the window at some point if you aren't playing with purple and golds, it's always been this way. a entire blue sponsor kit is only 12k.

Casual players already complained about how the PvE was too hard and got it nerfed. Imagine if you required a 3 stack to do PvE content.

The average PvE shitter already cant handle the prospect of having to find a team to play with, now you're forcing them into it? Will never happen.

It's what they've been begging for and crying about since this game was first announced.

PvErs want the cuck chair, they want a safe space where nothing can intrude on the fantasy of them being Master Chief/the Security officer.

I don't mind rewards from PvE splashing into PvP, it's just a matter of how much reward are we talking about? At the beginning of the Season there was no reason to do anything, but the PvE because it rewarded so heavily, I spent the first like 40 or 60 levels in PvE jail, so did all the other PvPers. It was raining yellow and purple items.

People are even less likely to buy MTX in a game that has the sword of damocles over it.

I think you put a lot more faith in Marathon fans than you should. There might only be about 30ish-thousand Blast Havers left, but you only need a fraction of them to be whales to keep the lights on.

Profitability, on the other hand, is never happening. Even breaking even would be worth celebrating at this point I imagine.
