Trials is dead
Long time player first time caller.
Case study of what’s wrong with trials. I’m a casual player. Long time pvp but I like a dabble. According to bungie have a reasonable CR mid 150s. But this whole trials business.
Imagine your life being that empty that you get validated by resetting your card for weeks to stat farm. I mean, why am I matching them on a blank card.
Answer (and my point is) - they saw no point hitting flawless anymore, so figured they’d prevent some casual joes dipping their toe in.
So what’s the solution to trials.

Some ppl are sad like that. They feel threatend casuals want to be apart of their "thing". Idk ppl are crazy. Just do your thing and play for your loot bro. Ppl like that will always be around.

Bring back Freelance and youll see a load of solos return.

It’s really not that complicated. Permanent freelance with sbmm similar to the glory playlist. This will grow the population in the playlist. Keep the lighthouse available to only team mode competition. This will give the solo a reason to form a team and compete eventually. Trials does not need to cater to the good players at this point. It needs to provide a LEVEL playing field to new and casual players to keep them engaged in the game mode, and the opportunity to “get good”. Pro-tip… This will never happen when players get their sh^t kicked in on a regular basis, which is exactly what you have now.

24 Replies400k players in the most dead month of Destiny that I can think of in a while is pretty good, in my opinion.

SBMM is cancerous and laggy. Additionally, if I have to play better players in trials (which is fine I’m cool with that), I want more loot for the harder task to accomplish. It’s only fair. Put in a ranking system and give the highest ranks more loot drops or an exp bonus for saint-14.

7 RepliesThe solution is to stop playing. Bungie needs casual players to inflate the trials population. If you want change, the casual players have to stop, let the mode go back to what it was in previous seasons. Remember when it was free to play?

Play halo infinite!

Edited by Infamous067: 11/16/2021 11:20:25 PMThe very first and second trials week was by far the best trials has been in years. Bungie of course cant be satisfied so they make it worse and worse every week because that very low 1% of players still cant reach the light house due to their mcdonalds wifi connections and potato systems running at 10 frames per second.

1 ReplyI want trials to just be for gods, I enjoy when they whine about having to play each other
-
1 ReplyIts pretty obvious bungie intends to bring some sort of rank, tiers, or sbmm to trials. They are trying everything else first. They are slowly boiling the frog. I could see them even removing flawless at some point.
-
2 RepliesI don’t get all the buzz around having a ranked system with unique ranked rewards We basically had that with comp. You gained rank for wins and lost rank for losses, and almost always matched players of similar rank. Then a ton of people in the community realized they weren’t very good and whined that they couldn’t achieve fabled/legend. Playlist died fast. Then bungie restructured it to hand out loot. Then everybody got it And now only weirdo masochists play the mode. Don’t make trials go the same route lol Destiny community is way to egocentric and entitled to handle ranked pvp

4 RepliesThe solution is to find [i]teammates only[/i] for solos and duos using skill the primary search criteria [i]and then[/i] finding them opponents with card based matchmaking. That way going flawless is more determined from your own skill level and not your ability to find a team and carry people for 7 games.

7 RepliesThis is getting so old. Trials...... isn't...... designed.....for..... casual.....players..... Plain and Simple.
-
4 RepliesTrials should be a game mode that anyone can participate in, but at the same time be prepared to play against a spectrum of players/teams. I personally think the match making should be card wins and connection, nothing else. Going flawless should be tough as hell. I went flawless on my main account the week it was freelance and it was stupidly easy. It just felt wrong tbh.
-
I promise you the only nobodies that do this are bad at the game anyway. No good players are just stat padding to stop you from going flawless
-
This poll is exactly the kinda polarizing nature of the forums that makes it hard to engage with.
-
I prefer they just vault it since they clearly don't care about making fair matches
-
Oh man. The many changes to Trials over the last year have made it a much more accessible game mode, so I don’t feel you on this. The flawless Pool alone makes it accessible for more players to compete and go flawless. The changes to how the trials vendor works makes it’s much more rewarding to go in, okay matches, win or lose you still can earn the gear. I just came back to D2 after 11 months off due to work and found going flawless this weekend soooooo much less stressful than at any other point. You earn so many more pieces of gear just for playing also. This weekends LABS with the capture point kept the action fast, but also allowed teams who are objective based a solid chance to win rounds.

1 ReplyBungie data has shown less then 5%, of the community reset cards, lets be realistic: you're a low tier player who got beat by average ones on thier own first card and aren't happy about it.
-
I try trials, gets slammed Hear its fixed Tries and gets slammed. I just can't -blam!- compete.
-
2 RepliesI love how you all actually believe people spend their whole weekend just to make sure YOU don’t go flawless. So many self-centered people on here and it’s just ridiculous.
-
Seems far from dead to me but go off.
-
Edited by Interpol89: 11/16/2021 3:14:46 AMI’m not a god, and I have been flawless in 6/6 weeks. The zones actually made it fun, because people couldn’t camp at the back.
-
I love trials and I’m just an average player. The way they have it set up this weeekend was perfect. I enjoy the random zones.
-
When you no longer need adepts, you play for fun. If you are playing for fun, why go flawless right away if games become 10 times harder the second you do?
-
Trials is not dead. You just started playing and are doing generally OK. Now make a team and you'll go flawless easily.
