Hear me out and please read the whole thing! All the Trials lovers are hating me right now and I completely understand why. I'm putting YOUR favorite game mode on blast! I'm picking it apart like a whole chicken dinner. Here's why... Pretend you have "me" glasses on okay? I thought this would be a perfect time to introduce myself. A perfect time to introduce myself now that I've been running amuck all over these forums for a couple weeks now. I'm Black_Widow503, shoutout to the northwest ya'll! You can call me Widow for short. I used to love the pve in this game. It was magical in year 1. There was a special place for every type of player back then. Playa, playa! *dab* er *sneeze*. Hardcore gamers and casual gamers. A place for everyone. Sounds nice, right? Sounds harmonious, right? dun duN DUUUUN! "Hi ho Silver... AWAY! Actually, I would like it if Bungie put it back to year 1 with Trials being random matchmaking. The gold bounties being able to give current weapons so it doesn't matter if you win as long as you complete the bounties. Right!? I would like it if they kept the crucible for casuals but added freelance all the time. I would even go so far as to ask they put a freelance mode for Trials with matchmaking for those who have social anxieties. *shrugs* Negotiable. I would like it if they made the Raids and nightfalls challenging again. Where one light level made all the difference in hard mode raids back then. Forever 29's. I know it sucked, but it was good for the game, man. Think of the GAME! Also add optional matchmaking to end game pve. You would have a choice to use it or not use it. Just give people free choice. Freedom! Nightfall modifiers. Back to orbit for you! Nightfalls back to how they were in year 1 for hardcore pve players. Remember the blue fire on our heads? That was badazz man! They took that away from us. They took that away from me. I came back to a game I had once fell in love with to a game I now despised. I stopped playing. *frown* Can I ask everyone something? What happened to my favorite game while I was away? Can YOU tell me please? Trials minions can YOU tell me what happened while I was away? I bought it too just like everyone else. Why was it changed so drastically? Whose idea was it to change Destiny so drastically in the opposite direction? Toward a pvp focus? It was completely balanced between the modes in year 1. No one had it better than the other in year 1 everyone had a place in Destiny to feel special, now we are in year 3 and all that matters in this game is Trials of Osiris that I have completely no interest in? Made pve way too casual friendly when there were plenty of strikes and patrols and story missions for casuals to do. I mean Bungie even added a Queens event once. Pve events were perfect for casuals to play. Why didn't they do more of those? Pvp has Iron Banner events. What's wrong with having a few pve events every now and again so casuals don't get too bored? [b]You have to look at it from where I'm coming from. I left in year 1 after Dark Below and House of Wolves dropped. I bought the dlcs but never played them. I returned in Rise of Iron which was a year and a half later, and you know what I saw?[/b] They had taken our pve exclusivity away from the hardcore pve gamers and gave it all to Trials of Osiris! Like wtf?!! They basically made raids and nightfalls easier for casuals where everyone could get the gear so easily if they played it. Then they put special gear in Trials of Osiris and made it impossible for casuals to get it? So what happened next? People are adaptable creatures, and casuals found a way to get the gear anyway! Paid carries and account recoveries. These exploits started running amuck. Why did Bungie change the gold bounties? Why did they change the matchmaking to be about card wins instead of random FUN? I don't want Trials removed I just want there to be a place for everyone to feel special in this game like how it was in year 1. Yes, I know it's too late for Destiny 1 but what about Destiny 2? Think about the GAME maaaan!!!! [b]THINK ABOUT THE GAME![/b]
