I tried trials, me and my friends bare pretty good at pvp but in no way top 1 percent. It was horrible. Everyone had all meta weapons, it was a total sweat fest. It was basically hiding in our side of the map dodging hardlight then to get aped by someone that snuck around, or to get killed off by hardlight bounce or some other bullcrap. It was not fun, idk if this is how it was in d1 or not, but it was not fun at all. From gameplay it looked less sweaty than I'm d2, but maybe it was idk.

Trials of the nine was convoluted bull crap. It was terrible.

You must be mistaken. Bungie took their time to perfect this iteration, pulling from two previous versions of experience to create this pinnacle PVP endgame that will headline twitch and esports for years to come.

The sooner Trials dies the better.

[quote]Dear Bungie, In destiny 1 we had the pvp end game Trials of Osiris, and it was a blast just to hop on every weekend and just play with friends. Even if you didn't win, you had the bounties to give you some type of loot. Not to mention you didn't have to be at the hard cap power level to compete. This destiny 1 version of trials had a lot going for it, cool armor and an incentive to go flawless, like adept weapons and later on ornaments for the armor that made it glow. There was a reason to go flawless. Then when trials of the nine came around in destiny 2 with the two primary meta it was not well perceived. But what I got out of it loot wise was around the same as destiny 1 trials. The meta at the time was just not favored by most people even myself. But the loot we got such as: ornaments, choosing the weapons and armor we got after 9 wins, and not to mention at least we got shaders. Then now we have the Walmart budget edition of trials in destiny 2, in what I like to call "Season of the Snooze", this version of trials feels rushed and not even rewarding to high skilled players, let alone the casual players. As a top 1% I feel no reason to go flawless, the only reason I keep playing is to keep my friends who aren't as skilled at the game from leaving this game, which at one point was arguably the best shooter looter to date. With all the hackers on pc and error codes, it just isn't fun anymore. I and many others would agree a pay wall would be amazing. You could still have things like free weekends for people to try out the game. But with no pay wall, hackers are breeding like rabbits. Bungie if this is all due to a lack of communication of over use of power, just know fixing simple things like even a small pay wall will not make the player base go down. Do this for the players, add some real loot for trials, make an amazing raid like Wrath of the Machine from destiny 1 or Last Wish. Just for your own good and the player base give us what we were here for three too four years ago grinding at. Sincerely, A fellow guardian[/quote] Try this next time please.

here's the thing people dont think about, trials of the nine was good! but it was double primary, and that was horrible. if trials of the nine had special weapons, i think it would have never been taken out of the game.

Trials of the Nine was great compared to what we have now. Sure, team shooting mida users made it painful, but you could just play and get loot that actually looked good. Imo the trials of the nine gear looks better than the trials of osiris gear. That excludes yr3 trials armor in D1.

It’s because of weekly Tokens. It literally promotes cannibalism.

Purpose is still one of the best feeling, looking, and sounding scout rifles in d2 to me.
