Since the new trials changes have 0 punishment for losses. Going flawless is now easier than ever allowing you to lose any amount of times and still go to the Lighthouse & open the Flawless Chest. Since losses do not count anymore, there is less risk and less punishment for going after this emblem, even more so when you can potentially throw a game to lose & keep your pigeon wins from previous games. (Which was previously/currently risky & consequential to do, forcing you to restart all over again) Dazzling Iridescence was supposed to be an exclusive reward to players that were able to get [b]7 Pigeon Wins in a row on a flawless card. [/b] And this is even more of a Feat in the current Trials Design. It is an emblem that was supposed to be a challenge.

Especially considering if you lose on the first round, those players can easily throw the game at the start. And in my experience: Players start to throw [u]regular[/u] games at 0-2 (Either quitting games early, running to their death, or jumping off the map) 0 loss penalty means you'll encounter more people doing this, especially in pursuit of this emblem. [b]Lets look at previous Flawless Emblems and see how they were handled;[/b] Destiny 1 had Scarab Heart in TTK & Vigilant Disciple in Rise of Iron. Requiring wins after 9-0[b] to have a chance at the emblem[/b] [b]Trials was 9-0 with 1 mercy forgiveness back then.[/b] I farmed my soul off for the Scarab Heart. 17 flawless wins on Widows court from a 0-4 to 5-4 comeback was my crowning childhood moment, and the emblem on the post reward screen. [b]I earned that Scarab Emblem [/b]& it was given away for free as a crucible reward package & the same with Vigilant Disciple. [b][u]Please do not repeat this a 3rd time![/u][/b] [b]I spent 9 Flawless cards on Cauldron to get the Dazzling Iridescence Emblem.[/b] Please retire Dazzling Iridescence as it was part of a specific Iteration of Trials of a different Era. [u]Especially since now there is a New emblem for reward streaks coming out in Heresy, in an upcoming Trials Era.[/u] Sidenote: It was also bugged on launch (Players were able to earn the Dazzling Iridescence emblem without meeting the requirements) and players were asked to re-earn this emblem another time! [url]https://x.com/D2_Director/status/1666881454771691520[/url] So please do not undermine the value of the emblem a second time! Please respect player's time investment. [u]Rotate it out like you do with Comp Emblems.[/u]
