The Trials begin on Friday and last till Tuesday. For those who have played Crucible often, you know the stress of the Crucible and it's unbalanced gameplay. But add a exclusive 3v3 skirmish SnD/SnR event that requires you to not lose three times, which ends your trials passage card if it does come to that, and you have yourself a challenging and nerve-racking game mode. Even the best Guardians out there have something they hate in Crucible. Imagine some of these examples of what I'm worried about.
- A team that all use the same weapons. (Popular guns like Thorn, Felwinters Lie, Red Death, Jolders Hammer, Hawkmoon, Last Word, etc)
- A team that runs the same class type.
- A team that is all Level 34 vs a lower level team (even though I'm a level 34 Warlock so I guess it would be if my friends aren't 34)
- A team that hides majority of the time (I honestly wouldn't care much but hey, it's considered a strategy apparently).
Even though you only face a fireteam once and get matched up with a new team [b](remember, ToO does not have matchmaking so you'll need to find a group to play with in a fireteam of 3)[/b], these are just a few I am concerned about. But this isn't about my fears, this thread was designed to share yours.
[b]what is your fear(s) for the upcoming Trials of Osiris?[/b]

[b]Edit:[/b] 200+ replies and I am already seeing that many are nervous about the following mostly.
#1 Lag (though this one is true, Bungie said something about better connection or something similar to that for the Trials)
#2 Thorn (oh, the irony)
#3 Felwinters ([b]super[/b] ironic)
#4 Sniper Rifles w/ Final Round (Oh snap. Forgot about that mess of a storm)
#5 Blink Shotgun Combo (again, ironic...)
#6 Disconnection (this actually will only be a problem if you get disconnected from the entire servers which returns you to the title screen. If you get removed during the match, don't panic. Bungie will be testing their new match recovery system for ToO. You'll get a message that will ask if you want to attempt to reconnect to the match)

I honestly didn't think this would happen, but Ill voice my only concern here. Lag/Lag Switching. I just played against a fireteam of two and lost all because these a-holes were lagging towards me and none of my shots would hit home. These P2P servers are extremely one-sided and always favor the people with the worst connections. Ill give ToO one more go on a new passage card, but if the same shit happens again, I think I'm putting this game down for good.

3 RepliesMy biggest fear? My biggest fear is that every weekend you will se posts: "ToO Recruiting. Must be level 34 with maxed Thorn, Felwinter's Lie with Hammer Forged & Shot Package, Tracking Rocket launcher"

Got taken down down by a group of last word, thorn and ice breaker. And on top of it I used a mercy so I can knock a loss off in case if I lost, I lost 3 rounds and the token was finished even when I had a mercy. So there was only 2 loses on my token but it said I finished.
-
The opposing team lagging out and you get the lost with the win

Okay, I got something super cool to share with you guys. When you spawn into the lighthouse area, to the right are numerous rocks. If you platform down these you can reach a small passage into the rock side. If you follow this all the way you will find a canopy under which is a bed and various equipment. On the floor are dead vex and a strange, large, vex-like hole. On the floor are the remains of a skeleton. I think this may have been osiris' personal area and also his death bed. Nice little bit of lore for you all. Check it out if you can and comment if you found it. Bump because I want more people to know about it.

We all know the Trials are going to be full of Thorn, Last Word, and Hawkmoon
