"Everyone Fights. No one quits." can Go to Hell

AGREED

2367

GET REKT, SCRUB

4753

"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.

  • 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.

  • I didnt even know about this but I can't really blame people for doing it when the game, seemingly, is just matching the first two teams it can find. There seems to be no forms of skill ratings involved so, to me atleast, there's no value in going to the Lighthouse, other than the actual rewards. I've seen (as my opponents, from posts in the forums and on streams) some horrible players with the emblem, for being lucky with their opponents seven games in a row. At the same time you have significally better players who actually have to give everything they got in every match - and as an outcome will lose one here and there.

      • Haha, if I see people quit, sometimes I think to myself: "Maybe they are just saving their time doing this, maybe it's not worth wasting time in a lagfest of a match". Now I read they will get penalised for it. Guess there will be alot of casuals turned away from IB, GJ Bungie, you need as many players as you can, come MGSV

      • TL;DR OP is mad because [i]the[/i] competitive endgame MP tournament keeps matching him up with the best players in the game. What the hell do you expect?

        • You do realize this is supposed to be a trial... A competition of sorts for players. There's no crutches for you. No buckets for your tears. If you can't handle it, don't compete. It's as easy as that! Let's compare it to another form of competition. We'll choose a low level competition like baseball or football. (Comparing it to something like the Olympics would be too far fetched.) You have your beer/weekend leagues for the casuals. We'll call this your patrols, crucible and strikes. Anyone can attend. You have your minor leagues. PoE, Raids, iron banner... Requiring a little more skill to play and compete. But doesn't necessarily require you to be the best. (This is where you should probably stop. In the minors.) Then you have your major leagues! Which I have to say, only trials pits players against the best. Just like a major league sport. This is where the elite come to play. Now if a team of minor league scrubs, just so happens to find themselves running with the big dogs, they better stick around for the fight. To leave upon first entering an arena, due to fear, is a sign of unsportsmanlike conduct. Which wouldn't be tolerated. You'd get boo'd out of the stadium, into your wood paneled station wagons, and cry all the way home as you get the call that your cut. So toughen up buttercup. And take the beating from swingin richards like the female dog you are.

          • Are you seriously mad at bungie cause you're a coward? Because you won't just take a lose for the valuable experience that's needed to make you a better player/team? Backing down won't make you a winner and it shouldn't.

          • I'll give an honest comment and say I disagree with that part of the update. While it's nice to have a challenge, they could [b][i]at least[/i][/b] have something static with the matchmaking. If I've been playing for an hour and I see a wall of death coming my way, scrub or not, I'll take a rematch over an hour lost.

            • If you can't handle trials, don't enter the trials. Anybody who backs out while In Orbit to avoid a loss should be banned. Easy as that.

                Trying to fight an ExtremelySkilled Team in trials is like a classic story of man vs giant. try to hit them they just laugh and bitchslap you into oblivion. no hiding either they will sniff you out and -blam!- you up. (i've never quit a trials match to avoid a loss btw)

                • Seriously? I mean, I'm a bit rubbish at crucible. Ok, I'm a lot rubbish at crucible compared to a lot of you guys out there. But I enjoy the gameplay a lot, even if I do mostly end up trying to shotgun your toes off. It's a lot more challenging than waiting for the dreg or acolyte to peeek round the rock and give you an easy headshot like you know that they're gonna fo any second now. If the lighthouse is there for the best of the best then fair play. It gives you something to aspire to, to work towards. Not that I'll ever get to the lighthouse mind. Not unless I'm facing a team of dregs peeking around rocks, that is. Any volunteers fancy losing their toes? ;)

                  • Really? You're chickening out of a consequence free game. Worst case, you have to use another token--which they throw at us in handfuls. Best case, you surprise yourself, and have something to feel good about.

                  • Trials is about playing the beat and winning. It is basically a tournament. If you bail, you fail. Easy as that. Should def count as a loss if you back out.
