We changed up Trials of Osiris this weekend and rather than playing on one map for the duration of the event you saw a random cycle of the six previous ToO maps. In the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13177]Bungie Weekly Update[/url] we asked for your feedback on this so I wanted to collect your opinions here. Did you like this experiment with a random rotation or prefer mastering one map at a time? Let us know in the comments below.

Why don't we have this every weekend?
-
Map rotation >
-
Necrobump!

This thread definitely proves that bungie doesnt give a shit about us and our feedback. Its been weeks since we last had map rotation, even though most people prefer it Another case of bungie making stupid decisions that could easily be fixed

Edited by GoldenArms27: 8/30/2015 10:15:50 AMBring back Trials map rotation already please. And make it permanently that way. Also, you guys should really consider having teams swap spawn points every round, so as to eliminate one team having an advantage every round because of their spawn. And finally, can we PLEASE get some more maps in the rotation? Every single weekend of Trials has been on one of 6 maps, which is just ridiculous, considering the number of maps in this game.

When will it rotate again? I'm sick of burning shrine all weekend long
-
-
Map rotation was a good idea it definitely ruined the weekend for the trials elitist out there.
-
Implement map rotation please. It keeps you on your toes
-
Bring the map rotation back. Playing the same map is boring. Also can we add some more maps already. Burning shrine every other week is getting old.
-
Please bring it back, it was the most fun i had in trials
-
Can you just please keep trials of Osiris on a permanent map rotation??
-
Please just keep it to one map as my trials team have difficulty adjusting to the different maps :)
-
If theres still no map rotation this week, all of bungie should be fired.

We should climb a "Map Ladder" Each week there is 9 Maps. Given you need 9 wins to complete a Trials Passage. At random lets say this week's top Map is Shores of Time. For people on their 9th Game they would match up against others on that Map who are currently on Map Rotation 9. Let's go more in to perspective. LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. CLIMB THE LADDER TO ADVANCED TO THE NEXT ARENA. Map 1 - Anomly Map 2 - Firebase Delphi Map 3 - Yo Mom's House .... Map 8 - Burning Shrine Map 9 - Shores of Time Whether you are on a 9-0 victory or on your 9th game. You match up with people who are queued to sign up for that map. More balance in a way. Teams that have trouble advancing will be stuck to the lesser levels of Maps 1-3 in a sense and will go against teams that need to climb the latter as well. So in theory. If you are on Game 7. You are FIGHTING people on GAME 7 as well. Bungie. USE MY IDEA. it's brilliant.

Map rotation is the best thing to ever happen to trials of osiris. I don't know why you guys didn't keep it. Alot of us were expecting the map rotation this week and got scuffed with the same map over and over.. If you going to put us on the same map for the weekend, at least flip the spawns every round..
-
Rotating map awesome, alternate spawn sides between rounds, even more awesome ;)

The map rotation is fine if you want to do it occasionally, but it definitely penalizes teams that aren't as hard core as some others, who may need a little while (and a passage card or two) to become comfortable with each other and build a team synergy on the specific map. Limiting the rotation to one or two extra maps, would be good to help teams with this struggle if the map rotation were to become permanent fixture. That being said I far far far prefer a single map, because I feel like each week my team comes to the map ready to learn it and get a feel for what teams will do and how to counter that. This makes the game more strategic than regular crucible, because you get a feel for the strategies people are employing each weekend. My team always fails the first card until we get comfortable on the given map. That doesn't make us bad players, just players who prefer to approach problems with a little strategy, which just cannot be built very well on the rotating map structure. We have beaten/come close to beating carry teams (and have also been steamrolled by other streamers) because we just focus on strategy and not trying to outgun people who we know will absolutely outgun us. We've beaten teams who absolutely outclass us, because we try to play smart. Planning is our strength, and rotating maps makes everything far too random to be able to plan more than cursory things like: what guns are best, and which area to try to control. We'd have to shift how we approach ToO and I don't prefer that shift that much, I really enjoy the strategic element. It'd be ok if it was not a permanent thing, though. That makes the occasional weekend where it's all about on the fly decision making, since you can't really expect anything. Rotating maps also removes the internet meta from the equation, where people discuss preferred strategies on a given weekend map and help each other out on reddit posts. It makes ToO more "bland" because even if it's different every game, it's the same every weekend.
