Server Slam day 1 carries on! Thanks to all of your feedback, we've got crucial intel that will help us make updates during the Slam and tie up any loose ends as we continue towards March 5. As we continue through the test, we wanted to give you a heads-up on what we're seeing:
Mouse input causing lag: We've seen reports that the mouse input stops working when players are running any form of streaming software (Discord, OBS, etc.). We've got a solid set of data on this as it stands, but please keep the reports coming.
Voice not working in-run: We've heard reports that in-game voice is working fine in the menus, but not inside of runs. We've got some great leads, but keep the reports coming.
Names changing to "Redacted": This issue has been resolved! But, to help make sure you get everything taken care of, we've issued everyone a new name change token (help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/art…) or if you'd prefer, you can file an appeal to get some help changing your name back (help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/art…)
Textures not loading in/performance issues: Hardware configurations can span far and wide, so thank you all for letting us know what you're running into. Thanks to you, we've got a lot of information which will help us ensure Marathon runs as smoothly as possible.
UI feedback: We've heard your thoughts and want to hear more! We have a feedback thread on our official Discord, waiting to hear what's on your mind: discord.com/channels/1303855…
PvP frequency: We've seen reports that PvP isn't frequent enough overall. If you're looking for more PvP, we have some recommendations: Perimeter (Beginner) intentionally infils fewer Runners - head to Perimeter and then Dire Marsh for a greater challenge. Additionally, the UESC are deadlier than you might think and will wipe you off the map (thus limiting the lobby's PvP opportunities) if you let them swarm. Keep us posted on your feedback here: discord.com/channels/1303855…
Thanks for all the feedback so far, and keep it coming! Join us on the Marathon Official Discord to let us know what you're thinking: discord.gg/marathonthegame
Enjoy your time on Tau Ceti - and onward to Day 2 🐛

Update from Bungie regarding the Marathon preview event in China: "You may have seen some videos and info about Marathon from a recent creator event. This is from our first event in China, and they've been cleared to share their experiences!
"You can expect to see more content from creators and our team as we rev up for launch. Can't wait to share more and finally get to play Marathon with our global community."
‼️ NEW: Leaked Marathon hands-on impressions from a China event:
-First hands on event outside of NA, indicating Bungie's emphasis on the Chinese community.
-Blown away most by the expanded worldbuilding/narrative. The tutorial & faction intros give clear origins and motivations. Players can even discover the will of Dr. Strauss, a key-figure who connects many narrative threads from the original Marathon games.
-Personal impressions are that the PvE is extremely challenging. AI is constantly calling in reinforcements as time goes on so there is no "clearing the map". Environmental hazards like poison gas vents, perimeter turrets and landmines everywhere as well.
-Meds/shields are expensive to buy from vendors that by the end of the play session, the reviewer could not even afford them unless he sold all of his buffs
-Early combat or PvP is almost guaranteed to be a net loss, expects the high-risk exploration experience to push players to focus on missions to upgrade base stats. Expects there to be little to no player co-operation, calling every enemy player a loot pinata
-As for objective improvements since alpha, UI seen a massive overhaul but still finds the UI logic a bit awkward
-In-game visuals also seen a massive upgrade, environments giving off a much darker and mysterious tone comparing it to Pathways into Darkness and the original Marathon trilogy
-Skill distribution across all classes is fairly balanced allowing for flexible team compositions (multiple Shells have movement abilities). Cosmetic shop and battle pass were unavailable at the event but each runner has six base appearances tied to each faction
-28 guns and each has 2 or more skins with some even altering the weapon model. Each gun has one charm slot and three sticker lots which player can unlock by completing challenges
(take everything with a grain of salt)

‼️Another weapon mod: CHAOS THEORY
"Dealing a small amount of sustained damage causes hostiles to drop random ammo."
