Appreciation of Freelance Trials of Osiris

Hello. I would just like to express my eternal gratitude for Bungie for introducing Freelance Trials of Osiris. Yesterday I got to visit the lighthouse for the first time ever, and I had butterflies in my stomach for the rest of the day. Looking back to when I played Trials of Osiris a couple of weeks ago (non-freelance) and I lost 20 games in a row to triple stack after triple stack. My humanity at that point was on the brink of extinction. But I came back from the dead to reach my dreams. Many of the games I played during my 7 win, was so close and fair. I also had a few where my team pretty much steamrolled the other team, but balancing something like this can't be an easy task. I again, want to express my greatest and most sincere thank you for introducing Freelance.

  • I can second this. Ive. Ive not been flawless but just the enjoyment of actually being able to play the gamemode and get some loots is fantastic. I am more of a PvP type player but found myself pushed towards PvE for higher level loot so was nice enjoy Destiny’s pinnacle activitiy.

  • Yeah it's the only way I'll play trials. Did the pinnacle on all three characters. Was very enjoyable to play knowing I won't get pubstomped every match.

  • I could have gone flawless in freelance on a mercy card but I was on a confidence card. However, my MM experience was not fun. I was consistently matched with absolute bots who play trials the same way they clear out lost sectors. It was a struggle. After about 20 wins on a confidence card I switched to mercy card and couldn't even put together back to back wins. It was brutal.

    • Congrats on flawless, just wish matchmaking would be better... I've checked my matches on tracker, every game I won, the ELO balance was in my team's favour. Everytime I lost, it wasn't. I'm only a "Gold 2" ELO rank, but when my teammates are Bronze and Silver, while I match against Platinums and Golds? It sucks hard. If I play and match -with- platinums and fight silvers? Like, yeah, I'll have a win, but it's also a 5-1 match. Freelance should stay, because it's a good idea for solo players to enter Trials without facing constant stomps from an enemy 3-stack. But that matchmaking NEEDS a rewrite.

        • Freelance is trash. How is it the bad players are constantly on my team and the other team always has gilded flawless 200 wins but haven't been flawless because they are cancerous resetters...

          • Constantly getting put on losing teams where my teammates rush out to get killed first then leave because we didn't rush out there with them to die. I had a better experience last time this was available. Now it's just a horrible experience where I can't even get past 4 wins because the balancing is just shitty

          • Although I do genuinely enjoy freelance trials and have been able to go flawless five or six times this season, the matchmaking can be absolutely heinous. I cannot be expected to win against a team of average-above average players when the two guys on my team manage 1-3 kills and 250 damage. It’s fine and even good that people who cannot normally play trials are able to with freelance, but matches should definitely be more balanced than they are now.

                • I love getting to 4 or 5 wins then consistently getting basically new lights for the next two losses. Only happened 5 or 6 times now. It's like they don't even know which end is the barrel.

                • Agreed! Went solo flawless this weekend, which is definitely not the norm. I can appreciate how challenging it is and how RNG can either make or break your chances of going flawless. Thankfully, RNG was on my side this time around. I can never play normal trials again. Freelance all the way!!

                • Trials and even freelance labs NEED a big pool of players. If it drops (and it does from the beginning of the season till the end) game become REALLY out of any kind of balance, even without the flawless players taken out of the normal pool. This season I went flawless two times: in the beginning, being solo against stacked for the Reed adept. Then the first time freelance was up , getting Sola ‘s scar adept. Months ago. I’ve tried this weekend and even in freelance i find players not even capable of pointing a weapon OR sweat lords . No middle ways….the worst players or the farming ones. In freelance this means that if you win or loose it’s just matchmaking RNG, with the CBMM “cherry” on top. With a wider pool of players things where more smooth and enjoyable

                • Matchmaking is brutal. Having to carry players game after game is not fun.

                • I dont rate the mode tbh, until the population is 3x the size it might be better still a slot machine as always.

                    Agree this new freelance game mode can salvage trials and perhaps destiny altogether. People like playing solo, not the LFG cancer. Going up against 3 stacks of 2.0 KDs that are either farming or cheating or on an account that is paying to get a flawless has ruined this game mode. More players will play if there is a freelance option. The flawless pool is pretty terrible though 😂, maybe they can limit that to Monday only.. basically makes people stop playing once flawless achieved. I think it’s unnecessary in freelance.

                    • Freelance needs to be permanent already. I don't wanna wait 8-10 weeks at a time to play trials. And i for sure will NEVER play trials without freelance by myself again. After seeing the light with freelance, i can never go back to getting stomped by 3 stacks over and over and over again. Regular trials matchmaking favors stacks so much, that it literally only puts teams of 3 against solos. That's a horrible decision. If only Bungie implemented a matchmaking algorythm to put solos vs solos and stacks vs stacks, then we wouldn't even need a seperate playlist. But apparently solo players aren't worth anything for Bungie. Even tho theres probably more solo players in this game than sweaty stackers.

                      • Freelance trials is the best pvp mode in the game. I could play it exclusively.

                        • Congratz for you. I was almost there, but the RNG got me at the sixth win. I'd continue, but don't usually like to play so much destiny PvP. I feel as though Trials definitely needs to be shorter in order to get good loot. Odd how you can earn 2-4 adepts in a hour while Trials takes 1+ hours to get one.

                        • I like freelance, but damn. I’m on a 20 plus game losing streak. I’m average on my best day, but damn. Every bad player is on my team and we’re always playing against sweaty try hards.

                          • I 100% agree. I haven't had a chance to play a whole bunch bc of schedules and then losing Beyond Light from Game pass but once I heard a freelance option was coming, I had to try it out. I had so much fun and you're right, a lot of the matches were really close, ending 4-4 on match point, one slight move and the other team takes it. Honestly, the matchmaking felt far Superior to that of any other playlist, even Elimination or Freelance Glory.

                          • I totally agree! Hopped in yesterday and was having a blast. I havent gone flawless (yet), but Im learning and adapting. Hopefully they consider keeping it around. Its been some of the most fun Ive had playing PvP in a long time. Landed a god roll Messenger and a decent Shayuras, hoping I can get an adept gun because I would really love that. I tried all sorts of stuff and Im finding out what Im comfortable playing with so it only goes up from here! If we could keep Freelance Id be playing almost every weekend for sure.
