Hello there. Just spent hours playing 35 games in a row to get my last pieces of loot that I needed. Here are the games and statisctical evidence, that might encourage other guardians know what's coming at them. Some clarifications: I am an "average" level PvP player who is at 1330 gear level and has spent a lot of time getting good (not-sucking-that-badly would fit in better) at PvP, assembling a good gear and coming up with strategies. I exclusevly played solo que and I will count 0:5, 1:5 and 2:5 games as mismatches, while 3:5 and 4:5 will be counted as neck and neck. Here are the matches: Game 1: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 2: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 3: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (1st win, 5:1, mismatch) Game 4: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (loss, 2:5, mismatch) Game 5: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (2nd win, 5:0, mismatch) Game 6: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 2:5, mismatch) Game 7: me + duo vs. dupm + rando (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 8: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (3rd + extra card win, 5:1, mismatch) Game 9: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 10: me + duo vs. 3-stack (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 11: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 12: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (5th win, 5:3, fair) Game 13: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 14: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 15: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 16: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (loss, 3:5, fair) Game 17: me + duo vs. 3 randos (6th win, 5:4, fair) Game 18: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 19: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 2:5, mismatch) Game 20: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 21: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (7th win, 5:1, mismatch) Game 22: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (8th and last win, 5:4, fair) Game 23: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 24: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 25: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 26: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 27: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (loss, 2:5, mismatch) Game 28: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (loss, 3:5, fair) Game 29: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 30: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 4:5, fair) Game 31: me + duo vs. 3-stack (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 32: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 2:5, mismatch) Game 33: me + 2 randos vs. 3-stack (loss, 1:5, mismatch) Game 34: me + 2 randos vs. 3 randos (loss, 0:5, mismatch) Game 35: me + 2 randos vs. duo + rando (loss, 3:5, fair) Now let us put those into numbers: Overall winratio: 20% (7 out of 35 games) Overall chance of mismatch: 80% (28 out of 35 games) Chance to have a disantvantageous team: 82.9% (29 out of 35 games) Chance to have an advantageous team: 2.9% (1 out of 35 games) Chance of facing a 3-stack: 48.6% (17 out of 35 games) Chance of having a "fair" team: 14.3% (5 out of 35 games) Chance of losing against a 3-stack: 82.4% (14 out of 17 games) Chance of having 3 randos face off against a 3-stack: 88.2% (15 out of 17 games) Chance to lose due to mismatch: 85.7% (24 out of 28 games) Ingame Trials engrams/loot earned: 0 These are some number Bungie doesn't talk about, nor do they want you to know them. They will tell you that everything is alright while they cater towards the steamers. They are the first ones to complain that normal people get some loot and say that it is unearned whilst rofl stomping lower-skilled players, but also are the first ones to cry and complain about when they get rofl stomped by others that are better than them. I highly discourage people from playin Trials of Osiris and rather encourage them to let this game mode die out. There is nothing truly of value to get here, the best loot is kept away from you and you are being given just some bread crumbs. The loot system is better than it was before, yet it is still terrible. Let the ones that are "good" at the game face each other off and watch them fall into desperation as they complain that the matches are too hard and just reply to them with WeLl ThEn JuSt GiT gUd At ThE gAmE. EDIT: Thank you all for your feedback. I have corrected Game 28 from being a mismatch to being fair. It was an error that occured after playing 35 games in a row and doing all of this at around 4am in the morning. Nevertheless the calculations done one paper still remain the same. Now To those that have been kind in their responses: Thank you for your honesty and your encouraging words. Though some of you disagreed with the results most of you agreed with the core message that the mode is flawed and that it needs quite a lot of work or that it should just best be left to die. I wish you all nothing but the best and a good stay in this game. I hope you will one day be able to leave it behind just as I am doing it right now. To them that insulted me, belittled me, called me names, called me bad, called me dumb and twisted my words and stats so it fits their ideology: Congratulations. You have made it. I am leaving this game behind for good. There is not the tiniest thing left anymore why I would suffer this game any longer. When I paid for the game itself and for all the expansions I never expected the game to go free to play, but I was okay with it since I thought that I might give other players that enjoyment that I had. When they splitted from Activision I thought that now the predatory days were gone. When they took away that which I had paid for I thought that they would bring back things that were worth while. When they brought Transmog I was excited, just for it to drive me into a 2 month long break from the game. And now I am laughing at the idea that one should paid not just only for the expansion - yay even for the season pass - but also for some dumbs cosmetics no one asked for just to get access to 2 dungeons that may or may not bee good. The same with the 30 year anniversary pack, which has to be the biggest scam of all. Go endulge in your addicition. Go and believe Bungie that they are good and that they are doing their best when they clearly aren't. Go and get ideologies contrary to yours shoved down your throat, you seem to quite like it. Go and "hope" for something new and worth while, while the core of the studio is no more. And go and be the "good decent people" that you are, I am sure you must be liked by everyone around you. But let me tell you, who you are: You are like a father who hits his 6 year old for not doing chores that are out of his capacity and costing him money while getting money from the state and hailing himself to be a good father before others. You are like a priest who speaks of himself and how good he is and the the walks in the way of the Lord but spits on and kicks the homeless and the beggars. You are absoultely right, I am nothing like you. I am not that an MLG player like you all are while stomping the ones far below you. I am not the one bearing false witness and twisting other peoples words. And most of all - I am nothing like you in character because I chose to walk another path. When that sad illusion around you starts to crumble and you realize that non of this was ever of importance I will not be there to kick you in the face, but I would be that guy who would try to comfort you. But it seems that this way of thinklng is not mutual. Now go your ways. Go and have that which you want. Go and share your likeness among your people, but be warned that it is not kindness you shall recieve from them. And now go ahead and mock me and laugh at me. But verily I say unto you, truly joyful laughter shall only be heared from him, who does not dwell amonst you anymore and who hast left all of that here behind. For that man is now a free man. Now let this post perish together with the next reset just like I shall perish from the game. Sincerely yours Haunter
