3 v 3 PVP only Trials was great. Especially in D1 where the numbers meant that with enough tries, you could go to the Lighthouse with a good story to back it up. D2's 4v4 "modes" Trials on some of the maps was just a hellscape, especially since there was barely any variety in the guns in the early days. Come to think of it, I can't think of the last time I played Emperor's Respite.

Yeah they made it so that Control on Emperor's Respite can't happen. I see ER -Countdown in Comp a lot, but I don't know if Survival and Clash ever show up on that map.

also having separate weapons and classes for qp and comp seems like a real bad idea to me

Not different weapons and classess, having different values in the two areas, which is what they marketed on to begin with.

Blade Barrage being the broken thing it is on the one side and actually balanced for sweats on the other.

Gambit super sucks to me if I actually want to win. The only way I enjoy it is to pick some objective (bank as many motes as I can, kill as many guardians, etc) and focus on it without caring about whether I win.

The 40 match thing is killing me, but it's gotten me everything in dredgen except the ship, ghost, and Light vs Light triumph (lol).

Gambit is fun in a full group if you're trying to win, IMO, but it's the opposite of fun solo. If you solo and don't give a poo poo about winning you'll be fine, but if you actually want to win and also queue solo it's torture.

How about regular game side and then no light half dead walking speed from y1 and melee/pistols only on a flat circle with no skybox on the other

Trials will likely never return and that's fine because it gave us pinnacle weapons. It's a good system for whatever mode you like playing

Img distracted boyfriend meme where’s he’s with redrix but is looking at breakneck


They call it breakneck because if you’re using a redrix you probably broke your neck turning to stare at it when they announced it

Trials numbers dropped every week because that's the math behind a mode where you really only get the benefits if you go flawless, which means you need unbalanced matchmaking for any reasonable amount of people to go on 7 game winstreaks regularly.

That want the problem with it. The problem with it was the sandbox it existed in. Crucible wasn't fun then either.
