Trials labs

So I main hunter, I really do think this is a noble effort to change up the play style of trials and force you to use all classes. It’s a good idea, but in practice it is not great for matchmaking. This constricts the matchmaking pool even tighter for solo players like myself. I need to match with 5 other guardians who are different classes that are in my skill bracket, who are on an unflawed card when the trials population is already topping out at 5k at the end of every day. The pool players I can match with is very low, I have now been waiting for a game for 15 minutes. Just searching, I’ve only played 1 game so far. This disrupts the flow between games and I think it’s gonna make it hard to get on a roll. I do like the effort, but I think this is going to push people away. Especially with cheaters, with the pool cut so small. The likely hood of matching with one really skyrockets. There was a golden opportunity for this kind of thing, but it was not now. The trials population needs to increase by something like 300% to make this worth. Because 10k total player weekends are just not going to cut it for this change. ———————- Update; waiting 30+ minutes for a match to get hit with two teammates who probably are not competent enough to tie their shoes and who are under light. Against a stacked team is exhausting, the population is at 6k players at the moment and the frustrating part is that I usually get flawless on Fridays. With a population like this on normal standards is a very fun time this is just missing out on what could be a fun weekend but no.

  • What this experiment really illustrated is how lopsided the playerbase is to 1 single class/subclass that has been too strong since the beginning lol. Rare Bungie W.

    • They are trying to force Hunter mains to use a different class just so they can get into a match. It's disgusting. They can suck a fat one as far as I'm concerned.

      • Play something other than hunter & MM is fine.

        • I agree it sucks. Now, since we can’t force Bungie to remove or change the mode - swallow your pride and play warlock. If you’re skilled enough to go flawless, you should be able to do so on any class. I hate my warlock in PVP, but I made it work. Even made me remember that all the classes truly are great if played well.

        • I’ve just noticed I don’t think I’ll play,it’s bad enough the player base is already small this makes the trials pool even smaller,terrible move by bungie.

          • The fact that you main a hunter is the problem,switch to a warlock and you will get right in.

          • I played on warlock knowing full well most people would be running hunter and titan. Instantly got into games and went flawless first try.

          • And of course, they do this on the new gun weekend so you're not allowed to farm it. This game is done.

            • Also I do know it’s early, but I really don’t see the population increasing. The first week historically has the largest population for the season and had 85k, that number includes everyone that even just loses in for 1 game which turns out to be a lot of players. This was only a 20% increase from the lowest numbers of last season. That was even the last week of last season, it had the lowest population of the entire season. Anyway I don’t believe for a second that the trials population will increase to make this bearable. Also no it’s not fair to switch characters, this is my main. I shouldn’t need to handicap myself to play a game in the same conditions as the other players. Knowing this community I can already see that coming. I only play hunter in crucible, it is what I am most comfortable playing. I use sniper and it feels best for me on hunter, it would not be right to have to switch to my other characters whom I have less than 200 combined hours using. Thats just how it is. The issue here is that the games are 10-15 minutes long and I have to wait 15-20 plus minutes to find a match.
