Why is it affecting your sanity? Too competitive?
Is a level 33 hunter good enough?
Why not try here?
I used to play with my real life friends but stopped and now I play with DestinyGAF. (Part of the reason being they play at times I can't as my real life friends are childhood friends who are in a different country than I am in right now)
I want another 9-0 or key farming.
Two other things about ToO:
I absolutely hate the heavy round. Totally ruins the flow and is kind of pointless. If they randomly spawned or something it might be interesting.
It bugs me that when you get further, you actually get more passage coins than you now what to do with. Whereas I burned maybe 9 to little avail. Just seems like it benefits those that are already having a ton of success in the mode. Maybe that's the point though.

Sorry Nooblet and Mr. S for the fail at trying to go 9-0. About to go into skrimish/elimination and practice some more: god damn Thorn and Vex.
Going to attempt to go 9-0 tomorrow on my hunter only. All I care about for my Titan and Warlock is getting the wins to get the armor.

You can't win everything.
And no, you're not good as dead always. You kill one and you sit on the body. If it's in a good position the other two have to come into a shitty place to get their team mate (technically they don't have to, you have to get your team revived, but people get antsy). When they come it's 2 on 1 and that's very doable for a tie at the very least.
I won a 3 v 1 just by killing a guy near the exit outside and his team mates couldn't see me without being in prime TLW range. Done.
My first 9-0 was on my Titan. I just ran Striker with double lightening grenades from Arma. Honestly, we had a defender on our team with Saint 14 and he didn't have a single clutch or cool moment with his bubble. Tbh he was kinda useless. You only get maybe one super and most save it as a panic button. No one will be dumb enough to enter.
Oh and I forgot but the heavy round seems to be the most pointless thing in ToO. I think I fired my rocket launcher once so far. The best thing to do right now is to just rush the other team cause most of them just bunch up around their heavy. It is so pointless.
Also we had times where both teams tried to rush heavy and we just ended up picking up each other's heavy. Then once heavy is in the game it slows to a crawl. Completely ruins the flow of the match for this one round and it certainly doesn't help the losing team to make a comeback because you don't carry it over to the next round (thank god).
Uh. Yeah just take that heavy round out completely. It's pretty dumb.

Arguably the best gear in the game being gated by PvP skill rather than pve skill can be frustrating. Also like Zoba said about little weighting in matchmaking.
I think it's important to have good gear only accessible through PvP but it's annoying that the PvP gear is also incredibly good for pve and arguably quicker to obtain. There's a lot of stress in the mode itself and risking a single loss for it.
I still say they should make a stat/level that only applies in PvP like resistance in WoW.

RNG is enough as it is. The competition and RNG and wins/losses etc is too much.
ToO gear is as good as non existent for me.

You're the third person I've seen say that about defender, and I have to disagree.
I've been running defender, and over confident people do get into the bubble now and then. I find it super useful to put one over a team mates corpse for revives and over their corpses to prevent revives.
Since you get a new team with each new round, there's always someone new to 'school' and test me and my bubble. They don't often repeat their mistake but I am very happy to let at least one person from each new team make it.
Oh, and magnetic grenade is an instant kill, no matter what.

When I played earlier we had a bubble bro and it was great. Blessing of light just outside of a hot spot and we all ran through before engaging. It was nice to have that extra shield.
Sure, fr sent
Yeah ToO is a great activity for the diehard destiny pvpers. I personally prefer other games for pvp so I suspect I'm mainly do a lil bit of PoE each week.
Is the Osiris gear really the best gear in the game?
I'm not sure how they could skill-weight matchmaking. Good players would just start throwing matches so they can be downranked to play against scrubs.

I feel you, I got tired and frustrated after one amazing ToO, PvP is just not for me I will try tomorrow but I dunno
Bungie pls listen to these guys, add ranked matchmaking to ToO. It's gets old real quick curbstomping teams, my mates and I came into ToO thinking it would be a hardcore PvP game mode, but the quality of teams my group has faced has been shit.
I don't give a fuck about the armour and weapons, I already have my armour and weapon loadouts sorted, I'm just looking to play ToO for the challenge and it's non existent at this point.
The one good thing is that all the inept players I got stuck with in regular Crucible are not on my ToO team due to no MM. Thank fuck for that.

Anyone have the gatekeeper CP for glimmer farming?
Get rekt?
The Trials 3v3 system probably allows for better connections/less lag than normal Crucible or Iron banner
Best looking gear if you ask me. Whatever that means to you. Perk wise it is very basic and nothing special.
Nah. Win more than lose, but a lose takes away super treasure world so that blows.
Yeah. Everything up to Skolas is pretty easy and the burn isn't too hard to do if you have the weapons and level.

Messy
Not more salty than me brother, tomorrow is another day. Stay strong guardianI know how you feel man, I really need a win somewhere to feel better, either PoE or ToO
It's the first day. Everyone is playing it because it's new content, so there are a ton of scrubs in there just to see what it's like. In a few weeks they will have either given up or eked out enough wins to get all the Osiris vendor gear, and the only people left playing will be pros.

Anyone have any tips on how to do well in Trials?
ToO should have no heavy spawn and supers should be disabled. If Bungie make this change it would fix a lot of problems.

Lol... More pros need to start helping scrubs. Loot for the scrubs, and a challenge for the bored pros.

ya'll post too much. how am i supposed to keep up ;_;
I may in a bit. I need a key first. What mission do I need to finish to get one?
I meant the guns specifically actually. Getting 5 wins with the current system isn't too hard but I imagine the elemental primaries are quite good.
I'm probably just gonna focus on getting 5 wins in ToO from now on. Went once to Mercury and I enjoyed every minute of it (got a vid to remind myself of it too) but I don't want to deal with going 9-0 again. All I want is the armor.
Though that Void AR I got is freaking awesome.

Oh man. Helped somebody get their last three wins for a trip to Mercury. Last team we beat messaged us while playing: "Please let us win D:!"
Proceed to 5-0 them with a Golden Gun wipe to seal the deal.

Did my ToO team told you guys about we got paired with the same team three times in a row? Didnt ToO is supposed to pair you with different people?
I'll join with my Warlock. PSN - someday
Awesome, looking forward to it. Just ascended my fatebringer so I hope it helps
There's arc burn, solar burn, primary and secondary weapon favored skulls.
For the Skolas burn bring GHorn if you have it. Oh and heavy synths.

The final mission of the Reef story quests gives a key.
Speaking of which, did the "pure" mode come out?
Merciless. Did they sent another message after that?Oh man. Helped somebody get their last three wins for a trip to Mercury. Last team we beat messaged us while playing: "Please let us win D:!"
