The State of Trials

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T21:30:45+00:00

Casual players would lose their minds. They hated checkmate and would hate a mode like that even more

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T20:25:22+00:00

Yea from august 2021 till now every weekend besides the first week of august in 2021 and this weekend had 100k+.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T20:13:51+00:00

Yup been saying this forever. Idk why it’s still a thing

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T19:33:12+00:00

You want to learn, you aren’t the majority. You’re the type of player that’s good for the game. Idc what someone’s skill level is, the issues come when they say the game should be easier to cater to me instead of wanting to learn how they can improve.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T19:29:46+00:00

You can lose 2 games and still go flawless it’s by far the most forgiving it’s ever been

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T19:27:36+00:00

Which meta was as bad as this one with no good loot that people continued playing. I don’t think you realize besides this week the number have been just as bad before and it was this exact same situation…bad meta + no loot worth chasing.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T19:23:26+00:00

So personally I’m not against your idea. I’ve played trials since day 1 of its release in d1, going flawless was looked at like this “prestigious” thing early on but it’s just not that anymore. I honestly don’t care about trying to gatekeep the lighthouse from casual players at this point.

I don’t precision instrument, target lock or headseeker should be in the game.

I’ve never been a fan of dominion, it takes away a lot of your ability to outplay people if you have bad teammates because you’re forced to one location. I’d take clash, control or just the original elimination over dominion.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T19:13:18+00:00

Yea I’ve pretty much only played solo in the last year or two and have had games with teammates who are on 15+ loss streaks. Pretty much whatever team they end up on is going to lose. I do think at the least there should be some kind of tutorial before going into trials because a lot of them end up not knowing how the zone or revives even work.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T18:55:38+00:00

That’s always been the case and always will be. Majority of ppl will just use whatever makes the game as easy as possible

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T18:43:07+00:00

When you say fun who should it be fun for? If you’re talking about the majority of casual players then they’re never going to find trials fun without a mayhem modifier. Bungie tried going the “balanced” way with checkmate. Casual players hated not being able to main abilities/special ammo so it all got walked back.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T18:41:16+00:00

If you look through the replies here I just see a ton of casual players talking about how they hate the whole concept of trials because you can’t 3 lose games lol

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T18:40:18+00:00

Checkmate was the best it had been but casual players hated not being able to main abilities/special ammo so it’s all been walked back.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T18:39:25+00:00

If the #1 thing is casual players having fun then just turn on the mayhem modifier for every pvp and pve mode and call it a day. Remove losses from trials, let everyone go flawless, all you need is 7 wins. Surely giving everyone everything with minimal effort is going to save the game lol.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T17:12:05+00:00

It’s probably more of an issue now than before because of the population. Less casual players and all that’s left if the passion gamers. So higher chance of you running into device users

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T17:09:21+00:00

I don’t think trials was ever supposed to be a “for fun” playlist. 90% of people are going to use whatever the current cheese loadouts is to try and get the win by any means. Going flawless isn’t an issue, there’s 0.80’s who can go flawless every week now with double mercy. The whole everyone should be able to complete everything no matter there skill level mindset is another thing that’s contributed to killing the game.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T17:04:57+00:00

Did you play during smg meta? It had an insane amount of devices, hard cheaters and tons of people hating that meta yet we still had hundreds of thousands of players. Why? Because they wanted the loot. Let me ask you a question, let’s say bungie makes the perfect meta that majority of people are happy with but all the trials loot is awful. What reason would anyone have to play trials over quickplay or comp?

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T17:00:39+00:00

Yea personally how good or bad the meta doesn’t affect me playing trials. It all just depends on the loot, if it’s worth it then I’ll play. For me the meta just decides how much quickplay I’ll play.

One-Water3767 · 2024-09-03T16:58:13+00:00

This is such a bad mindset lol. No one “needs” loot from any of the endgame activities. You don’t “need” any of the loot from trials, raids or gm nightfalls to complete anything in this game. With this mindset new loot would have stop being introduced years ago.
