Then don’t play :)

Almost as terrible as your ability to form a short sentence.

They gatekept streamers by almost forcing solos to constantly play against 3-stacks. To make their carries go easier. Thats why most casuals left already after going on 50 loss streaks. Gj Bungie, once again great idea to help out the 0,00000000000000001 percent of the community (elitist streamers)

Youve barely played Trials like... at all.

PVP is crap. It should be scrapped; most players play PVE because, believe it or not, Destiny is a PVE game. And what do PVE players get every season? The same strikes and repetitive activities. Would it be too much to ask for a huge games studio to drag its creative team away from their three hour lunches and design some brand new strikes and raids? All the time they've spent trying to polish the turd that is Crucible, they could have spent designing new strikes. Oh, and I don't think I'm alone here; WE NEED MORE VAULT SPACE!

They leave matchmaking on so timmy no thumbs can go in and get some bounties done and maybe earn an engram or too! Elite trials players who run carries are resetting to stay out the flawless pool ! Ruining the mode they love most! I think there just afraid of a real job! Thats just me though!!! Sunday comes and every Helen Keller and Ray Charles think they got a shot at flawless with there constant round after round of running off on there own to the same spot only to die time after time! Bungie needs to understand that the solo player makes up the majority in this game! The only way this game mode will survive is if something is done about the piss poor matchmaking and the trials reset champions who fear playing in the flawless pool because they dont want their ego bruised! But, No doubt bungie will blow this, everything they do is always a huge let down because they cater to that 0.0000001% …….And Hunter mains! 😒 truth hurts…I know!

Competive simply dosent belong to destiny! Its so wrong in many ways! I would prefer if they could replace trials with battle royale to keep the player base alive.

1)people are resetting at 6 2)the playing with friends means “paid carry “ 3) accounts recovered

The secret is... Trials was always terrible. At least the concept of power based + loadout based imbalanced gameplay where GM level players can be pit against Bronze level players for free wins. The thing that's happening is what was GOING to happen. Everyone's leaving, the pool is getting smaller, and you are seeing more and more harsh matches.

https://ibb.co/hVFQ1wh https://ibb.co/whQkB8y Everyone thinks it's the bottom dumpster that can't win. The upper half gets to face guys like this over and over as a solo on 10+ loss cards. Just accept trials matchmaking prioritizes the 1% to sweep noobs and pad KDA. That's all there is to it. Once you accept that fact you just feed mid for that 100 rank points until you get a 111v111 and enjoy it.

They need to force stacked players to go up against other stacked players. Look at my game history. 90% of my matches were against stacked teams. Not to mention players who already went flawless. Nevertheless I accomplished my goal of getting the armor sets for each of my characters. But I paid the ultimate sacrifice in KDA and W/L ratios, lmao. Bungie needs to address this as it affects primarily the casual player base ( such as myself ) who are their primary source of income. A simple solution that would make it fair would be skilled based matchmaking. Let the sweats play against other sweats, while allowing the casuals play against other casuals. They had the right idea of making it to where flawless gets stuck in the flawless pool, but the way they implemented it clearly failed when you end up match after match going up against so said sweats.

Trials is becoming so has been. I mean, however you flip it, this content is so old, the excitement I hear about one map or another feels so depressive, the rewards are just always the same old useless ones that really make little more difference than some blues. Even streamers have become boring, with the leading teleshopping host feeling older than that old guy trying to sell the weirdest matelas. Watching someone play a solo retro video game feels more refreshing. But I’m genuinely happy for the 300,00 players who queue on streams and carry services every weekend until some paid service lottery finally rewards them with a carry. I just wish for them to one day also discover how much fun it is to go out, party, find a partner, and do anything more in life than just feel special because they subscribed, tipped or just even pressed L2 and R2 with their imaginary boyfriend who call kids a group of total random retirees who’re only trying to rank up so they can unlock some classic versions of weapons and gear. Competitive ya ya.

It’s not trials, their pvp system is trash in general

There are many problems with trials, starting with the most basic. Bungie tried to insert an esports scenario gaming mode into a regular shooter looter, which is an impossibility when not in a fair and accurate tournament environment. This causes false statistics when things like connection, lag, latency, ping and all the rest of the technical issues affects gameplay and match results, so the "slightly" better players become gods, not necessarily because of actual skill level, but by other technical advantages out of the players control. This creates tiers where the "slightly" better players get the top tier loot before the regular players, which causes an even bigger uphill struggle for the regulars in the future. It's like giving Usain Bolt rocket propelled running shoes. Now that players have been inaccurately pigeon holed, the top players have this surreal idea that trials should only be for them. It is only those who are worthy of the lighthouse, and Bungie shouldn't give everyone else the same opportunity to experience what most of us have paid for. And when Bungie tried to encourage more people to play, there are outcries of " you shouldn't give free handouts in trials", and, " why do we have to play other flawless teams?" when they introduced the flawless rule....for about a week. Add the fact that you HAVE to have crossplay enabled, and you have the biggest shite show in the game. Trials should be challenging, but it shouldn't be for the chosen few either. Turn off crossplay. Have solo freelance (not solo v a flawless fireteam), and have tiered matchmaking, so if you CLAIM to be a good player, you will not fear opposition of the same level. Just remember, this is trials, not Honour of Kings World Champion Cup or League of Legends World Championship, it's trials....a bit harder than comp, and everyone should be allowed to enjoy it.

Population is dropping rapidly. I’m curious what Bungies numbers will say in next weeks twab (if they decide to list it). Trials freelance next week might be trials last chance. If it fails, well… what does Bungie do with trials then? On 3 separate occasions, it COMPLETELY failed. It failed to retain players long term. It failed to convince enough people to play it. It failed to work as a legitimate playlist. And despite SO MANY resources being put into it, it was never enough to save it. Put into the DCV, or possibly permanently deleted from the game? I don’t want to be there when the community absolutely implodes and toxicity from every part of the community goes through the roof. I mean, I don’t play trials for personal health, but I can’t imagine how the pvp and pve community will butt heads once it happens.

I mean player count is down by over 350k since week 1...... everyone knew player count would decline due to eventually popularity wearing off but to lose almost 2/3rds to a half of your player count from week 1 in the space of 5-6 weeks is just shocking...... gunna love to see next week when its sub 400k. https://destinytrialsreport.com/weeks
