Having the scarab doesn't make you a good player
Ya see, anyone can get the scarab. All they need is 9 wins on a card. They can still have 2 losses and get the scarab.
The scarab drops by pure, very low chance.

"Pure, very low chance" I got it on my second try (: But yeah. Aren't you also the guy who made the post about "What if you seen someone in trial who had..."?
-
People just use it to make newbies scared.
-
Really, ok , thought it didn't . I went flawless year 1 so that exotic emblem is all I care about since you can't get it anymore . ( yeah I'm scrub , but at least I know I've done it 4-7 times already)

1 ReplyNo, you must go flawless, then the card qualifies for getting a scarab. Having a scarab does identify with a certain amount of skill or there wouldnt be whiney "i cant get to the lighthouse" or "carry me through trials" threads.
-
It's ugly I don't think I've equipped mine once.
-
Earned mine after 13-0. Most people I know with it don't even wear it. You look cocky with it on.
-
I have carried 1000 ELO players with getting their scarab. It's just a cool emblem to have.
-
Yes anyone can get it, that's the point. You have to have persistance to get it. Those who have it usually have played a lot of Trials and it shows. Most of the Scarab's I've faced have been decent players. The Emblem isn't proof of a good player, it's proof of determination and experience.

Edited by CJ: 3/23/2016 11:24:39 PMI agree with that on certain circumstances. If by "good" you mean someone that is adept with gunplay, then I'd agree. If you mean they're good in their positioning and use of weaponry, I'd only agree with that about 50% of the time. I will say this, though. I've never been Flawless before, but the last time I played Trials with some buds, we took down a full Fireteam of Scarab Hearts, using Ice Breaker for ammo, and (I think, I'm not sure. It was two weeks ago or so.) there was a self-res Sunsinger. Probably the 3rd happiest moment I've had in Trials, the first two being when the Year 1 and 2 cloaks dropped for me.
-
Agreed I beat a who team of scarbs who were all using sunsinger for flawless
-
It's certainly more difficult to get than a vendor emblem.
-
You need more than 9 wins flawless.
-
I thought this was obvious. No emblem makes you a good player.
-
Did a double carry. Took 1 person who had never been he got it the 10th win.
-
You're right. It makes you a great player
-
1 ReplyI've gone 18-0 so many times, yet haven't gotten it, it sucks
-
Its not cool anymore... most of us took our scarab emblems off long ago.
-
It's a grind man, but once you get it it's the most exciting thing for a dedicated pvp player. Shittÿ players will get it because they have good luck, but truly skilled players will EARN IT, and have the skill and dedication to prove it.
-
Scarab means shit
-
I destroyed some kids that had scarab. red death and a side arm
-
Correct
-
But they still have to win games after 9! The games are very unlikely to be easy!
-
8 RepliesLOL! True! My son is the best PvP player I know having gone flawless literally 40-50 times since year 1 and he tried to get it his last 10 trips to mercury and FINALLY got it a week or so ago. Getting Scarab just makes you lucky...lol
