I wonder how many active players still playing Trials for the flawless? Not to be rude but you trials elites got what you wanted! Trials is not for casuals or scrubs, learn to git gud, bla bla... Less people are playing it, now the only few left are hardcore ToO, 5.19 k/d, streamers, carries, account recover, lag and cheaters! Your wish had been granted, a game mode for the elites, sweaties and meta to the core. Enjoy it! As for me, I got no skills so I don't even look toward completing a bounty, I'll go fight that lv4 dreg that wrecks me in patrol and keep on playing the Iron lagger. Thanks for those great guardians that I found by luck and we help each other get to see that big bright sun at mercury.

Get good then go flawless losing to a carry is embarrassing.

I stopped playing Trials because I faced this guy that would just sit on the overtime and couldn't be killed. My brother also has a video of him being sniped through the floor, from outside of the map. Plus other shitty instances. I did try again one other time, like a year later and got wiped by Kraftyy, never again. We ended up playing two streamers in three games and went and did CoE instead. Average players should never play someone who's good enough to double carry, it doesn't make any sense. Unless of course you're catering to a specific group of people, then it makes perfect sense. That's why I laugh when Bungie says they don't manipulate the game in any way because anyone with any sense understands that they do.

What is the trials map this weekend?

I personally think that bungie should fix the lagswitching. Im so tired of it. I got matched up with 9 lagswitch guys in a row. What the hell bungie. Ive playing destiny since the beta and have never wanted to stop playing more then now. Clever dragon too. That stupid gun needs to get nurfed. Everyone uses it.

Why do people pay so much attention to ELO? I play kids with above 2000 ELO all the time, kd is what really matters

Me and my trials team don't go for flawless. We are proud of the armor piece at 5 wins. We got to 4 wins on anomaly during the festival and got really excited. But we came across a team that 5-0ed us. Which lost us our mercy. So we went on for another try. Next game we got the same guys. And next game. 5-0ed all 3 times. I don't know how we got them 3 times if it matchmakes you depending on your score on the card.

There should not be a situation where you get matched 3 times in a row against the same team. That sucks. That said, your team looks pretty solid and the other guys likely had a carry and don't appear substantially better than your team statwise. If anything you guys look better on paper. Chalk it up to a bad beat and keep on rolling

[quote]This weekend came and left just as any other weekend does, with Christmas and spending time with the family being top priority, I only barely got to go on for trials. My friends and I did a couple of cards on Saturday and ended with an 8-1 for the day, I wasn't on my warlock main and I was running slinger on my hunter, because let's face it throwing knife kills are fun. Fast forward to Monday and I get on with two other of my friends to run a trials card. I get on my warlock, and run all the way to 7 wins without loosing our mercy. Now this is when things get interesting, on our 8th match we faced a team of highly skilled players, 2 of them over 2000 elo and one carry. We manage to beat them on the first match and get our 8th win, we're ecstatic. We played very well together and managed to outplay some really good guys, we head to orbit but don't back out of match making, about 15 seconds go by and we start a match. As we're flying in we inspect our opponents.... it's the same 3 guys. "No way! This is crazy, well if we beat them once we can surely beat them again" or so we thought... we got 5-0d like... hard! There guys where using stickies, wombos, self res... you name it. One guy couldn't miss with his no land and the other guy was a laser beam with his grasp. So we lost our mercy, alright let's back out wait a little while and rejoin the queue. About 45 seconds go by and we rejoin the queue for match making, we're joking and laughing about what just happened and saying how if we faced them again I'd literarily throw my controller at the tv.... match start flying in for orbit.... inspecting players for call outs.... it... can't be? The same 3 guys again??? Unbelievable! This can't be happening, the destiny gods must have conspired against us today. We fly in and spawn, everyone is in shock, we try a different strat. We knew where this guys where gonna go. We played them the best we could! But in the end, we lost 5-2, giving us our 2nd loss and basically ending our flawless run. I don't understand how out of thousands of players doing trials we could of matched against the same team of people wayyyy out of our league 3 times. Even after backing out and waiting. I rarely complain about match making, but that whole debacle.... it's just not right. I haven't gotten back on destiny since then, but I sincerely hope that trials this weekend doesn't deal us the same cards. Thanks for the read. Edit 1: Trending? Crazy! I wanna hear more of you guy's weird trials matchmaking stories.[/quote] Christmas trials weekend my clan and I had the same experience. We faced the same guys twice, got steam rolled. Both games were 2-5 we lost. If we were paying attention there might have been other matches with people we already faced. But anyone can check guardianGG to confirm the repeat match up with the same guys. We've never faced so many 2000+ elo players ever before. Even on our first match of the card. We tried running no boons, One boon, full boons and we still got paired with insane players. Not to mention we saw some pretty wild lag or possible cheating going on. People running from us and just dropping into the floor, leaving us blown away, only to have them pop back up on the map 30seconds later. Or taking a bullet straight through a wall. One guy looked like he controlled time. He would be right in front of us as we engaged him, then he'd be gone, only to reappear 10ft in a different direction, over and over again until we were all dead. Of course we reporter these people but all of this made for an extremely awful experience this past weekend. I dropped from 1740 elo down to the 1500's. I can't even tell u how badly I wanted to crush my controller and stomp on the game. Lol Needless to say I'll be taking a break from destiny this week til trials comes again. But if its a repeat then a much longer break will be needed. My only hope is that I continue to play these god players and slowly learn to get better because of it.

I don't really know what my elo rating is at (someone wanna check? :D) but i DO know that i suck ass, especially under stressful situations. Just imagine me going against those guys... ._.

Mine wasn't in trials but iron banner. My fireteam of 2 and 4 randoms was matched 8 consecutive games with the same fireteam of 6 try hards. We backed out and waited for a couple of mins before matchmaking again and as soon as we hit matchmake we were paired with the same exact group. After 2 mins of waiting....... how the f*** is that even possible? Those sweaty f***s didn't get matched to anyone else in the 2 mins between matches? I'm calling shenanigans on that sh**

Trials: gets a new card *loads in 1st match 2,000 elo 2.3 +k/d same class same weapons gets 5-0ed loses mercy 2nd game 1,100 0.4 k/d using weapons that aren't even upgrades 5-0's them

Wow never had that happen, my worst shitty moment was being matched against a team scarab farming on my first game of a card.
