It still boggles my mind that in a game with an infusion mechanic that is clearly explained and necessary, people are bitching about getting 10 power level guns that have insane perks, and for doing absolutely nothing.


The only thing that matters is having the gun. The power level can be taken care of.

I got a level 10 gun from the engram and just immediately slammed a blue lovely gun into it. I'm surprised anyone cares.

I like that the trials guns and armor all have extra story tidbits attached. The Mini-tool does too!

Also I've had at least two patrol dialogues where the friendly ghost was straight up hitting on me. Something about how I shouldn't tell the other ghosts, but he picked the best guardian, and how much he loves being my partner

This is kinda Bungie's shtick with AI though. Bungie loves a good AI Rampancy plot; they used it in Marathon, and in Halo, and Failsafe is showing signs of it too.

If you can sneak your way into a clan with trialers you can get a lot of that without ever having to actually play it.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
It's 4v4 now so getting carried is a fair bit more feasible than before

Just stick with the team since team shooting is a new thing

Speaking of such, what is the thing about Destiny 2 pvp that makes team shooting a million times more prevalent? In 1 it's all about flanking and being environmentally smart, but it seems you just can't do that anymore

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

As long as you're in a clan that has at least one team doing them you should get an engram a week with a trials drop. I got the shotgun.

Destiny learned the most important rule of fighting: in any fight, the side who wins is whose side's friend shows up first.

Quick match is entirely random. The other choice (competitive?) gives you weighting, but it takes longer to form teams.

I played against a 4-man group with all MIDAs today in quickplay, and after going down by 20 in the first few minutes, my group of randos ended up coming back and winning by 20 just by virtue of literally never splitting up. It was a lot of fun.

The moment someone in Bellevue decided to drop that gear at 10 power those packages were transformed from an opportunity to level up to yet another disappointing moment when you stop and ask why Bungie did not simply put a loving matchmaking button in raid or trials.

I wonder what happens if you shard welfared trials gear, do you get legendary shards or was that gear queenswrathed away?

You can still flank but they need to be focusing on your team and not on you.

I'm not shedding a tear when the MIDI exotic gets nerfed because trials is a wasteland of that gun. Also they need to put in a timer for defusing/planting on the objective itself.

Trials is mostly MIDA land right now because the map is super good for scouts. the lanes have very little in the way of flank routes, it's basically Pantheon II, the revenge of the worst Trials map
