I'm going to keep this rant as civil as possible. I'm just here to express my concerns for the game mode, not to throw a tantrum.
I'm going to set my points of defense before I continue any further:
• I have been playing since Year One and the launch of trials
• Trials mathematically only allows around 10%-20% of the player-base from accomplishing a flawless run
• Since the beginning of Trials of Osiris, there have been weapons and abilities that triumph others (eg. Thorn, Bladedancer, Pulse rifles, Sunbreaker, etc.)
This post is going to be a complaint about the Lighthouse and the requirements to get there. I have attempted many times to get there, but could not accomplish it. I have the skill for it and the experience for it. So why can't I get there? This is what I'm going to explain.
There are three main variables (two if you are a literal person) that can stop a persons run to the Lighthouse:
1. Your skill
2. Your teammates
3. Skill of your opponents
But I'm not here to talk about myself. I'm here on behalf of everyone who has not reached the promised land yet (especially if you have been fighting from the beginning).
Take in my third point of defense. The reason why I don't give an exact percentage is because of the number of variables there are to calculate, so I do not have the free time to come up with an exact equation, but I have thought it through and realized that is where the number falls. You do not need to be a mathematician to realize this is where the number falls. If you know, the number of players who have completed a raid is at 17% (PlayStation Trophy stats). This stat can carry over to Xbox Live due to the Law of Large Numbers. So it is safe to say that the number of players who have obtained a flawless card is around that range. It could even be less than 10%.
I'm proposing that the flawless requirement should be removed and make it that players only require nine wins regardless the number of loses. You will only get access to the chest if you go flawless. This will:
• Increase the percentage of the player-base to go to the Lighthouse
• Keep players playing even if they get a loss on their card
• But this will still give players incentive to get a flawless card, since they are getting a bonus reward by accessing the chest if a flawless run is accomplished
• Keeping the Lighthouse available for non-flawless players and the chest to only flawless players will separate those that want the grimoire and to explore the place from those that want the rewards

You clearly DON'T have the skill or experience to get there since you haven't been there.

Umm, you have 1 toon who's not even 300. Play more crucible and get your kd higher and play with some actually good players. I don't get why all these casuals can make these trending posts discussing how they can get the gear without doing the work lol. Bungie even made it easier for the casuals to get gear and the adept stuff isn't even good it's exact same as 7 win cept one perk that is situational to 1/50 games. Stop stressin
-
LOL what is the point of it then? The point is the best of the best will get rewarded for doing well. Why not when you but a dlc, bungie gives you all of the gear/weapons in the game.? You make no sense.

You have the skill but you went .21 in your last trials game
-
Well your trials k.d. Is 0.8 so that's your problem

Edited by oPROFESSIONALo: 11/3/2015 12:52:03 AMYes it should. Responding to title of thread.

4 RepliesI'm just kind of impressed all the post game armor has been sub 275.

Not this again

Sorry but this is not going to happen because trials is supposed to be a badge of honor for going flawless lol.

Or you can earn it like everyone else.

1 ReplyThe match making is still off, wiping the floor with 3 teams with flawless emblems (as they go on a new card), then getting beaten by a better team at 8 is frustrating. They haven't improved the MM at all, or really made it any harder to get to the lighthouse. Error codes counting as a loss on a card still needs to be addressed, wasting an hour then getting beetled isn't fun at all.

You're complaining cause you suck at the game. Get better scrub
-
1 ReplyWait so you just want to see the lighthouse? No extra reward? I mean sure I just don't get why you'd want that
-
The lighthouse is not that special so you're really not missing anything
-
ayee ill carry anyone thru trials if they buy me an emote message me if your intrested

Edited by ArcanumStorm: 11/2/2015 11:02:14 PMWhy go to lighthouse if you cant get the rewards?? That is pointless. There is nothing there mate but a chest and a short run to the shiney room at the end.
-
Dat .85 trials K/D tho.
-
Man up. Your argument is pointless. Who wants to go lighthouse if you can't open the sodding chest.wtf.
-
Best gear for how many wins losses take away one point
-
Pvp quests and bounties need to be individual performance based. No need for team wins and so on. The amount of times I need wins in a playlist and after 30 plus kills my team still loses. However, keep the lighthouse for flawless only. Trials is built around the team winning, not 1 super MLG carrying everyone.

9 RepliesHmm I am confused as to why you have made this post. You want to keep the lighthouse available for players who are unable to go flawless in ToO but still keep the exotic chest only for those who do go flawless. The entire reason to goto the lighthouse is to get this exotic chest. There is absolutely nothing useful in the lighthouse other than the exotic chest. You want to go in to an area that has no benefit to you at all? Sounds like a waste of time to me.

NOPE!

Lol. Stop trying to get a hand out. Get good by practicing, playing the game and get a good team. Not that difficult to go flawless if you're half decent and have a decent team. You are what's wrong with the destiny community. Just like in today's society, everyone wants a free handout without having to work for it.
