Edited by Eddy1500: 9/10/2023 5:54:57 PMTrials of Osiris! Let talk about the changes that have made it almost impossible for players to go flawless. I have been playing trials since D1 and I have over 212 flawless runs throughout my career and I manage to go flawless at least once every weekend. But it is not all fun and games! Since the match making changes to connection based or whatever it is now and the removal of the flawless and non-flawless pools it is way more difficult. I have heard streamers say oh it is so easy now and you get an extra loss on the Mercy card. But that doesn’t help when I have to sweat in every game and start my runs over because I hit stacks or randoms that are on their 20th flawless run for the weekend and have a 2.5+kd! There can’t be that many 2.5+ players but man are they in my matchmaking way more than the majority of the population who is under a 1.0kd. I would ask that bungie reinstate the old style matchmaking based on the win you are on! That makes since! It should get more difficult as the wins progress making it a real tournament style. I would also ask that the flawless pool be reinstated to pull out the players who clearly have no problem making it flawless against anyone they face. This will also encourage Carrie’s and helping those in the community who want to go flawless but can’t. I have completed 9 sherpas in Trials and I was able to help players who had never been flawless prior to the matchmaking changes and removal of the flawless pool. Now I can barely help myself, let alone anyone else! Also, trials is no longer a team sport! These changes have made it so that even if I put together a stacked 1.5+ kd team we can’t make it past game one for the 2.5+kd teams and because it is connection based they are the only ones we hit every single run. So I tried duos and that is just as bad. So I have to run as a single player which takes a lot of the fun out of it because there is no communication and I go to the lighthouse by myself! I would say that matchmaking, where if I am in a three stack and I only hit three stacks should be removed. It should be random and based on the win you are on. If someone enters a tournament solo they should face the consequences of hitting three stacks. It does give the three stack an advantage, but it encourages players to make those teams. Have a solo playlist for those who want to avoid teams all together. I should not be on my first game of the day playing a two stack who is on there 10th flawless game for the weekend. Trials is supposed to be difficult and it should encourage communication and team play, not solo runs. Just like raids do! You go in with a team! Also, why are PVP players punished for swapping to an exotic that is literally only good while using a super and then swapping back to something that is useful during normal gun fights? I was surprised at this change. It removes the players strategy to utilize their resources and gear that they have spent so much time grinding for. If everyone has the same opportunity to do this why remove it. You have already nerfed most of the exotics that provided any benefit to getting your super back from kills with it. PVP should have a combination of gun skill and strategy utilizing supers and gear. Just some of my thoughts. Thank you to Bungie for providing this opportunity to provide feedback. Hopefully you consider the normal players in the community as opposed to streamers who are profiting off of your choices.
