This would motivate (even bad) people to play. There would still be an incentive to get mementos and a high volume of adept weapons from the flawless chest, but this would allow for a better matchmaking environment and the removal of the dreaded flawless and non flawless pools.
Just a thought.
Edit: I am not a trash can. I go flawless pretty much every week. Before you reply something about handouts, that’s not what this is about. I want Trials numbers to increase.
Decent idea, there certainly has to be something figured out with trials. Player numbers are declining badly. I’m one of them.
It’s a slog to play that mode. I stopped really trying to play it consistently because the intensity of the sweats is a bit much.
I’m generally above average but I’m also not trying to play a video game and become more annoyed/stressed because of it.
trials is a unique situation where if player numbers fall, the game mode suffers greatly. I’m not sure what the answer is but I really enjoyed trials in D1 and the matchmaking felt more balanced back then.
