"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.

3 RepliesI'm not worried about it because i'll never quit a match. I'm never going to give the other team a free one and I'll never take a free loss. I might get beat down but phuck it I'm going to try....you never know....you might actually win. I agree with deej, quit being bitches

[quote]What idiot would stay in a game for 10 minutes just to get curb stomped and teabagged. Not only does that demoralize and break up friendships with arguing on each other but the fact is people would not play the trials either in the end. Ban or no ban, same -blam!-ing outcome. And with no way to report ddosers (there's a way where you can keep matching the same people), well repeat again what -blam!-ing idiot would want to stay if they're not having fun.[/quote]

You forgot a tag #butthurt-cheater

Edited by Ethereal Khaos: 6/6/2015 2:11:25 AMThat statement was poking at the people using a glitch to back out without receiving a loss. Your post is moot as normal players don't have to fight and will face no penalty for backing out. (Aside from the loss)
-
Whoa very much agree, But no actually, a totalitarian matchmaking where great teams face shit teams is exactly what destiny is about.

Really not fair to the other team if you leave and not giving them the victory. If you leave you forfeit and lose..though hats how it should be. I agree it's stupid that you can't back out if you want to ,though. It isn't breaking the game in any way. Why Bungie did this is beyond me. Who cares? If you feel like you're going to get your ass kicked...Why should you be forced to stay. I've never left a match...never will...but this was completely unnecessary imo.

2 RepliesI was in the Lighthouse once...I don't give a damn about it anymore. The loot is garbage anyway. I only want the gearpart, I'm still missing gauntlets and the helmet on my hunter. Then I don't play this PoS anymore. Why? Because I don't want to be matched up against 200-0 Nerdteams that just play to destroy your own experience.

Edited by FunkTheWorld: 6/5/2015 11:30:03 PMPeople bitching about playing better players are in the wrong game mode. The Lighthouse was [b]not[/b] made with the intent of everyone getting there. There isn't going to be anything to get you to play against other scrubs, you just need to get better like the rest of us did by playing more. If you can't get there, you weren't meant to, it's as simple as that.
-
Can i quit now, Bungie? No.
-
I wasn't quitting.... it was a strategical retreat.
-
Easy fix here bungie retarted. Why ban ppl for quiting? If ppl quit out and the game ends before it starts it's a draw no wins no losses rewarded simple to fix.
-
For those saying competitive matchmaking is needed, doing so will require a reworking of Trials. An actual ranking system will be required, and the "win 9 without losing" flawless would be transformed into "be in the nth percentile" flawless or else the accomplishment loses it's value.
-
I had two wins, and on the way in to my next match the other team backed out. Cool, easy win. So the we go to our next game, and as soon as we land, we get a loss? Before the match really starts? We lose that match anyway and I would have had to start new scorecard but if this is a recurring problem it should be looked at.
-
1 ReplyPlay or don't nobody cares. Not even a little. If you know you suck don't go in there until you get better. Ps. I suck. But practice is the only thing that will make better.
-
So you would rather give the other team a free win than try?
-
Welcome to the roughnecks

It's the fact that if you back out while flying in it doesn't count as a loss as long as you change characters which is what some teams have been doing to go flawless so to deter people from doing this, they will temp ban repeat offenders. You won't get banned if you enter the match spawn and then leave bc that counts as a loss to you. I take my ass beatings like a man though and won't leave regardless of how good the other team "looks"
-
The last game I played for my flawless victory, whole team left. Ahh well, my gain.
-
Honestly I think there should be a Vendor in the Lighthouse who sells all of the ToO gear, you could then have a temporary ban from ToO for those who have gone flawless.
-
Ha it's not the bad players it's the good ones backing out to look for a weak team It's sad how even bungie whines about their poor match making system!
-
6 RepliesHonestly....I've gone Flawless several times, but when you're helping noobs through the Trials and you see 3 3500 Grimoires, you turn tail and run like a bitch because you don't want to destroy your noob friend's chance at flawless! FFS!
-
1 ReplyOther team left while in orbit cause they saw my teams exotic emblems. We land, no opponents. We get a free win and a free loss!
-
Not my fault you can't hold your own. I'm ok with you backing out it just gets me to the light house faster but it's pretty pathetic you won't even try.
-
8 RepliesTbh, I've given up on it, no matter which team I'm with, this is what my record will look like 0/3, 0/3, 0/3, 0/3............0/3........
-
So. You are a big coward. Come on, Skolas is level 35 and because of this you quit the game ? Play fair man and fight against all.
