Bungie Accidentally Fixed Trials

For those unaware, there was a loot bug this week in trials. Additional wins on a 7 win confidence card granted a 50/50 shot at an adept Shayura. The card did not have to be flawless, and you did not have to be flawless on the week to get these adept drops. You did need a flawless on the season to purchase the confidence card, so these numbers are like this even with a large chunk of the population unable to participate. We saw the most players, and most matches played, since the weekend of 10/22/2021. We're talking about more than 600,000 additional matches this weekend than the previous. Finally, even solo players had a good shot at farming Adept weapons. Sweat or casual, we all rely on a healthy player population. Remove the flawless requirement for Adept loot, and people will actually stick around in the playlist. Crazy right? Last week I played 22 matches. The week before, I played 8. This weekend I played 156 matches! I'm not even joking, I farmed ~38 Adept Shayura's. Please, for the love of all things holy, make this a feature. Stop trying to figure out a problem that you already solved. I'll see you all in IB, peace! **Edit I don't have that many flawless runs. I don't have the best stats. I didn't play much trials at all until season 14. This is all true, but I've gotten better over time and I pulled 24 flawlesses last season while racking up some sherpa medals. I've put in the time and effort, and yet I do not care if other people have an easier time getting adept weapons. I care about one thing, player population. So call me lazy, tell me that I want free loot with no work. I don't care. Come see me at the end of the season when under 200k people are playing trials over a whole weekend.

  • My question is why does it have to be adept? Would you have not played if it was just normal shayuras dropping like that? I would be OK with normal weapons dropping like that allowing good farming but what is the reward for going flawless if that's the case? Ideally I think each weekend a NORMAL weapon should drop like shayuras did. Then if you go flawless it's changed into adept ones dropping instead of normals for the weekend. This way you have a reason to keep playing if you can't go flawless but also have incentive to go flawless and keep playing afterwards even if you get a loss. Right now it's typically just people that don't bother cuz they get nothing or people go flawless once then quit. Leaving only the sweats playing all weekend getting loot.
