"We’ve seen you backing out of matches on final approach in your ships because you saw formidable opponents on the other team. That tactic could earn you a restriction from future Trials of Osiris events. Please stick it out and fight – even if you know you’re about to be visited by tourists from the Lighthouse." - DeeJ, Weekly Update 6/4/15
I don't give a -blam!-. I don't owe that other team my time. I don't owe them my ass to stomp.
If [i]your[/i] matchmaking system pushes me against a group that severely, [i]obviously[/i] outclasses my group of guys that has yet to get to the Lighthouse, I don't - nor does anybody else - [i]owe[/i] them our deaths.
Our penalty is on our card in the form of the loss we take. If you have a problem with people backing out of these matches, [i]then don't count them as a Win for the other team[/i].
Trials of Osiris has some serious design flaws. [i]Solve them.[/i]
UPDATE: I should have edited this sooner, I apologize. I am aware of the Change Character exploit some folks may have been doing to avoid a loss. I was admittedly fuzzy on this issue when I initially posted. I believe a lot of my argument still stands, however, and, as others have noted in their replies, Trials of Osiris needs something done to its matchmaking. A simple step in matching Lighthouse Veterans to other Lighthouse Veterans, for instance, would do loads of good in evening the competition by placing the Proven against the Proven, and the Aspiring against the Aspiring.

I'm assuming you never saw a crew coming in and said "[i]Well golly, these fellers look fresh off the boat and wickedly under-equipped. Best quit now before I end up destroying them."[/i] No, you'd steamroller 'em and laughed while you did it. Unless you can tell us you never once blew up some poor bastard trying his luck with his wonky gear, you don't get to complain the big boys play rough.

WHAAA BUNGIE MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME WHAAASAAASA
-
If you match into a game You should have to finish it
-
I think this rule is in effort to stop people from forcing a win and a loss to the other team... If you back out at a certain time, it will do this... Goes against the nature of combat...IMO
-
No it doesn't you just suck lol they even give you 3 boons to make it easy for you

Cry is free. Puss puss

What? Why would ToO be matchmade against players of equal skill level? You do realize it's supposed to be battles of the best of the best. If you're too scrub to compete, don't. Go practice.
-
if you're always playing people of your own level, how will u improve?
-
EVERYONE FIGHTS! NO ONE QUITS ! CMON YOU APES, YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?
-
-blam!- the match-making bullshit solutions. Trials ISNT supposed to be a walk in the park, YOURE GOING TO FACE TEAMS THAT OUT-SKILL YOUR OWN. There should be no way around this. Going up against a squad where all three players are rocking the flawless emblem? Put yo big boy panties on, and take this L fair and square. If you leave the match, in any way shape or form=loss on your card.
-
This is why I don't play. This just makes it easier for people to stack the PvP deck.
-
7 RepliesI dont play ToO but i personally think that ppl should only be allowed to vist the lighthouse once a week per character. That way ppl wont try & exploit it.
-
Simple solution really. I hope that the trials continue being the PvP elitist ' s wet dream. Then when all the "scrubs" including me ( haven't even played ToO) stop playing and the game mode dies out.... rankings and matchmaking might show up. If it isn't too late.
-
4 RepliesYou could back out with a glitch that didn't cause you to have a loss. That is what they are talking about.

Edited by W34KN35S: 6/5/2015 9:21:25 AMThey gave my team 4-5 easy wins , I say let them quit lol makes my day that much easier

How is this a design flaw? This is a design SAVIOR. Trials is far the best of the best? You're anything less? Get out.
-
Learn from them, do what they do.
-
4 RepliesI just think that people who've been to the lighthouse shouldn't be allowed back in that weekend.

3 RepliesAll it would take is changing a couple lines of code having to do with time, or even inject new code. All you would need to do is make the game for the team back to orbit or just cancel out the win. Don't force people to play against people they have no chance against. The matchmaking goes by so fast once the other team is in place that logging is the only way to escape. Either add in the option to quit out before hitting the planet or the map, or do something about extending the time to look at our opponents.
-
Totally agree with OP. I've given Bungie plenty of my money and my time willingly; but, if they want me to not play their game because I don't feel that I am [i]obligated[/i] to give them more, that's fine too. I won't.
-
2 RepliesI feel it counting as a loss is a fair trade to backing out. I think restricting them from future events is a bit too far. Nobody enjoys getting steam rolled. If you're clearly outmatched, and know it, I'd rather back out and continue on in a different match then waste everyone's time.
-
Yeah that part of the news update was bullshit. They can call us out for quitting when they fix their -blam!-ed up matchmaking system.
-
1 ReplyIf I see 3 lock all runnin light beyond nemesis with exotic emblems that tells me...ABORT ABORT but easy way to stop this is, stop letting us inspect the other team prior to landing...silly bungie
-
Talking about PvP, if I quit it's never to avoid losing. That would be stupid with all the matches I've lost already. I quit when the game forces me to quit with its lag and bugs. Want to ban me? Okay. No problem. It's just a game. I'll survive. I just wonder if I'll ever be able to ban Bungie for all the caterpillars and beetles that made me waste hours of my precious free time.
