I'm just going to leave this here: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbh24teg_AU[/url] It's made by one of your streaming buddies, someone called Fallout Plays. I don't know the guy but one of my buddies texted me this video and the news of Trials. Looked him up and apparantly he is one of the streamers Bungie knows and had on their events and what not.. Even your streamer buddies are complaining about the power level. What struck me in this video is that the guy is in fact defending the having a full time job people, the college kids with a lot of after class work, the dad gamer with 2 kids.. You know, the actual majority of your player base and not the 24/7 no lifers (starts at 9:40 in the video). He states how it creates an unfair advantage and will hurt the game in the long run. Just like, by the looks of it, almost everyone in this thread is telling you, Bungie, that power level with the artifact will hurt trials. And I agree with this sentiment as well: "DO NOT ENABLE ARTIFACT POWER LEVEL IN TRAILS OR POWER LEVEL AT ALL". I'm no D1 vet, only played D2 due to PC only. I would love to have a shot at Trials, could be fun. But when I log in with my 970 or so Titan in Trials and see guys with 1000+ power level, I'm just going to bounce and leave it for what it is. I can go against that guy with the exact same gun, Thorn for example, hit the exact same amount of headshots yet I'll die with the 3 tap and he'll just walks away cause he needed 1 more body shot. How does something like that have anything to do with skill? On another note: you really want arc battery or void battery shennanigans in Trials? Fine, add the arc melee punch mod again and I'll just go around one shot melee Syntoceps punching again. No skill required again, I just need to push the melee button on my keyboard untill I'm flawless I guess.
