i saw cammy’s take and im confused on how farming a flawed card with 4-winstreak is worse than what we already have or rather what ppl are making it out to be? i rlly like mercy card, but i guess since it sounds like it’ll be harder to win atleast 4 games in a row as opposed to winning 7 out of 9 to farm a card maybe thats why ppl are upset about the farming method? my understanding is that a 4-winstreak farm is equivalent to going flawless now and farming a card idr what the drop rates are for solo vs trio wins currently and whether the % drop rates in cammy’s video are for solo [b]and[/b] trios or [b]exclusively[/b] trios source of img is from cammycakes btw

  • I also watched Cammy's Video on it. With the current day Trials playerbase , matchmaking systems, & my average - above average skill level from the last 3 seasons: Winning 3 in a row is doable...winning 4 in a row can be a bigger challenge, namely due to matchmaking reasons. why is that? Wanna match with the same guy 2 games in a row? and constantly lose against him? or how about vice versa. Both have happened consistently in my experience for the last 3 seasons of playing trials. I steamroll the same people or groups of people multiple games in a row or I get steam rolled by the same people or groups of people in a row. Unless that changes with a new influx of people. that is the first step of the issue. Yes 4 winstreak in a row is a nicer ask. But for the casual audiences (they made a point to say Below average - average) this is supposed to be catered towards, winning multiple games in a row aint gonna be that easy for them in a 3v3 gamemode where the stakes aren't gonna change, people are still gonna curb stomp in that gamemode, and the individual player's skills/abilities heavily impact the outcome of the game due to the 3v3 nature of the game. Whereas a 6v6 gamemode has less of a noticeable effect if the casual player does poorly. So really... locking the adept farming process to a 4 win streak does less good [b]for those players.[/b] Plus in 1 card: you need at minimum a 5 win streak to be able to purchase the adept weapon for that week. or worse case scenario 3 cards + a 2 win streak to have enough ciphers for 1 adept weapon. And to top it all off you aren't even guaranteed a weapon from the lighthouse chest if you do poorly. 1 win streak is a 30% 2 win streak is a 60% 3 win streak is guaranteed. Passage of ferocity I have had to reset so many times due to being a 2-0 & losing that final 3rd game. This doesn't feel realistic for the casual low skill to average skill player. It's not how 3v3 elimination is. [quote]idr what the drop rates are for solo vs trio wins currently and whether the % drop rates in cammy’s video are for solo and trios or exclusively trios[/quote] Solo's on a post flawless card feels bad. I was farming Igneous hammer and out of 40 wins i only had like 12 of them. Trio's is golden currently. it was Yesterday's Question (double loot weekend) It was 5-6 drops every game, 2 adepts (obv doubled), it was awesome. So about 2-3 drops every game on a normal weekend I'd reckon.

  • idk how i feel about rematches it feels nice to win a game after losing to the solo/duo or trio but i dont trust the mm to balance it properly amongst duos and solos maybe for trios if it comes down to 4-4 but better to rematch a team like that than a team that beats you 5-0 or 5-1 but i think if you cant go flawless, getting even a percentage to drop an adept weapon is enough and incentivizes the casual player to learn the ins-and-outs of 3v3 if they want better odds at dropping an adept it will def suck at first bc D2 onboarding process for newcomers (as cammy said) is awful and the targeted audience for this shouldnt feel that every match will end in a stomp for them or the other team and we havent even mentioned cheating either… they seriously need to add loss protection for that if its in effect for afk/throwing/quitting thats why i never trio queue for trials bc my odds of running into a cheater is unpleasantly high

If you're in a remote/unpopulated region of the world with a small pool you might have been out of luck BUT it should happen less with a healthy population.
