A quick Trials discussion. What are your thoughts?

They're catering the mode to people who couldn't care less if it was removed, the bulk of people who enjoy trials for being trials are long gone

You actually get better loot by getting six wins and then losing one because then you can farm the lighthouse loot which is impossible when you go 7 win flawless. Not to mention flawless pool makes the game borderline unplayable on most weeks 🥹

The biggest issue right now is that it is way too easy to get all the gear. It’s just a loot playlist that you get everything first weekend and stop playing once it’s done. The cosmetics are the only chase and once you get it, it’s over, no reason to play. It’s lost its identity

The tiered loot rollout was a pretty big swing and a miss. Bungie has seemed to have forgotten that exclusivity and prestige are part of Destiny's identity. In some cases, yeah let the game rain loot, like Lawless Frontier for example. But in others, there has to be some sense of achievement that creates motivation to play and earn. In today's D2, you can basically let out a wet fart and get 10 tier 5 god rolls. It creates a scenario where playing is just meaningless.

The rewards from the lighthouse just need to be a lot better, you can get the same drops just winning a random match

I hate to break it to you bud, but streamers and carries absolutely destroyed Trials. The best thing Bungie did for Trials was the Flawless pool and you guys cried so much they removed it. Then the matchmaking and balancing bullshit made it worse. Destiny has the best gunplay

No hate to Jake here, I actually like the guy. But the reality is that even with the current drop rates, there are literally 1k players online in Trials on DAY 1 of the first weekend in Renegades. It's just scraping by and I doubt there is a real way back at this point.

There isn't any pros nd cons to it there is no general reason for a lighthouse if you getting Guarantee T5 weapons trials ones at that right of the bat of the games there's no reason for lighthouse at all trials is just a QP game mode now

The only incentive I have to play Trials is typically the armor but that’s not really sustainable since once I get what I want I don’t have a reason to go back in. Loot raining is great because I can get what I’m going in for faster and I won’t have to slog through as much

1. People griefing games doing just nothing because W or L doesnt matter. No incentivate because free loot. This is bad. 2. Lobby balancing is happening for the third time again and I dont want to take months again to adress it.

The core identity of the game has completely died because of this exact issue. Both PVP and PVE. Everything being handed out for essentially nothing and forcing participation trophies on everyone or else they’ll complain was an absolute soul crusher for the game. I get both sides

First of all we all thought you were quitting Destiny for good. Also why are you cucking to Bungie instead of telling them how you really feel???

I miss when every guardian had a unique story despite doing roughly the same thing, when it comes to loot. (EX: I didn't get Lord of Wolves that was popping off in PVP back in the day, until much later after they snapped its neck...but I got it through the same engram)

It’s deader than dead. Realized that the moment they shipped their ‘rework’ and I couldn’t go back in for another flawless, all so people could rave about getting to the Lighthouse for the first time… a hype that lasted a whopping whole week. Loss of adepts was the cherry on top

I like trials with all the loot but they should change adepts to be way better maybe adepts can get a few perks that normal can’t so there’s actually a reason to go flawless or maybe bring weapons you can only get by going flawless

the problem is the people who don't want to play pvp still don't, the people who dip in to get a weapon get it quick and leave and then the rest of the people who actually want that adrenaline are left with a zero prestige joke of a playlist

I like it loot wise, farming adepts specifically was just too hard pre-heresy

It almost makes the abuse you get from other players worthwhile.

I am not a pvp gamer in any game. BUT I only like Iron Banner cause its 6v6 and goes by quicker. I find 3v3 slow and boring so I don't play trials. I have tried it and after like 2 games I quite cause i lose interest and attention.

As a PvE player, I use to hate going into Trials for unique PvE rolls, knowing it could be a 15 hour grind. Now that weapons are featured and drop generously, it actually feels worth my time. Happy to spend a few hours knowing I’ll get the weapon I want. Overall, very satisfied.

Destiny is dead they killed it off for pvp players.

Population is so small getting 7 in row without running into cheaters is RNG could be easy could be difficult

Washed anyway

Ever since spreadshot was added i just haven't been interested, Arc raiders is just better.

Quick question it's been awhile since last time i touched Trials, but i saw it have a new shader... I need to go Flawless or just win 7 games and go to the Lighthouse to get it?

U need perform well to get loot at least more than 3 kills which is nice because it punishes afkers and bad teammates who hinder and grief

Is anything rare anymore? Everyone shouldn’t be running around with tier 5 everything

The con is you dont care when you win and the pro is me actually playing it to get loot.

Hey can I get unbanned from your stream. It’s been years

Used to look at trials and think I've got to be mentally focused and ready to que as it was going to be tough. Now it's a more casual QP where everyone crouches until someone throws the first ability

The reason I want to go flawless is for the new cosmetics, I got all emblems last season and was finally gonna chill for the new hand cannon….. and then I find out u need the 7 win chest for the shader and other stuff, come on, I got to 6 streak and hesitated on the final ->

I could never get flawless as much as I wanted to visit the light house an get a adept weapon or just to see what it looks like the game mode was too toxic for me anything I tried didn’t matter asking for help ment nothing to people because where’s my 3.5 kd

They should lock Trials shinies behind Flawless (multiple drops), five win (one) and three win (chance at one). Give the armour a special shader or something tied to the piece.
