Was trying to get my arc sword last night. The randoms I got kept killing my knight. They also kept dying and eventually gave up.

Got all 3 Mercuries. Today the competition is waaaaay easier then yesterday at release. In fact, yesterday's worst teams were on par with today's best.
Big shoutout to my trusty Osiris pro's, who helped me do these flawless runs: Wicked, Rubenov and Gunnerz. You guys are the best.
Loot kinda sucked balls. Ah well, will use it to infuse ToM.

Yeah GGs for sure. We weren't going to beat a few of those all-pro teams but we definitely had our chances against a couple average teams. Really wish we would've pulled out the second to last game since we'd have been 8-0 with the Mercy instead of 7-0 w/o it. Once we got matched against that last team it was over before it started.
Yea that least team was nuts. Ah well. Cheers for the run anyways. Was fun
Are you attempting to help carry people through trials 2.0?

I also need the arc sword. I'll be online most of the day so if you can find a third we could try and get it completed.

I'll be up for one more when I wrap this one up

"Attempting" is the appropriate word. Tried to help 3 different teams over the last however many hours, and every team made it to 7-0 then lost two straight. Just constantly matched against super sweaty pros, such a drag. I'd be up for trying to help more but I really need to run w like Wicked or Rubenov or xo etc otherwise it's a super steep mountain to climb. Blergh.
Ok cool sent you a friend request. Join on me

So guys like Unstable and other PVP magicians, how are you guys performing in Trials ?
Better competition or is the 9-0 flawless still super easy like before ?
once you go past 6 wins it feels like the teams you play against are really good.

You'd be the first
Wyl on the attempts.
Hearing about Goth requiring the help of Krafty to make it to the lighthouse sound pretty legit how the matchmaking gets tougher at the end.
I think I have you on my friends list. I'll be heading out but will be back around 7-8 pm eastern. Will hit you up if you're around.

Anyone else just get a connection error or did I just run into a team of cheaters in Trials?

Awesome. A loss because of a teleporting red bar. FIX the lag for your "ultra competitive" PvP mode. Peer to Peer does not work.

Yep, fucking cheaters. Great.
TheAquaticApe

Yeah. It's a serious issue. They are so worried about "carries" yet have rampant LAG and cheating. It's frustrating. We got matched up against a sub par team and just could not hit the red bar.
If you still need a third I'll r u n with you guys. PSN is d-psipher.

how are people cheating?
Prison of Elders 28. The chests at the end have a very high chance of giving you 1-3 Strange Coins. Takes maybe 15-20 minutes per run? Not super fast but reliable.

They're disconnecting people as soon as the match starts.

I don't expect Destiny or any sequel to ever get dedis sadly
Really wish Bungie would atleast ponder the idea. Been playing halo 5 since release and dedicated servers makes such a huge difference. Hardly see any lag in the game on war zone and arena.

If Call of Duty can get dedicated servers then I'm sure Destiny 2 can too.
Bungie, do the right thing.
CoD never really got them tho...? They advertised them but it's just listen servers similar to what Destiny has as far as I know.

ok, but dont they lose if they disconnect? what is the benefit of disconnecting?
You keep using words that don't mean what you're trying to make them mean. Trials isn't difficult anymore, it was difficult. Now for most of the population trials is IMPOSSIBLE.
You know how many groups get a decent and close match in trials? Lol. We curb stomped any group that wasn't obviously salty elite players. The average player is going to get absolutely destroyed after 2 wins in trials. They say oh we went 4-3 but they really went 2-4 because of boons. Most people reporting their win loss got rocked.
So now most people spend time "managing their characters" not being hardcore? Do you work for Fox News? That's ridiculous. What is there to manage about 3 characters? My 2nd and third get dragged out for raids and nightfalls. That's it.

New Trials MM system was a mistake, it's nothing but trash. It takes an already highly competitive mode and strangle-holds it even tighter. It forces people into playing exclusively with their most skilled friends. As if the "elitism/exclusion" issue wasn't bad enough before.
Once you get to 6-7 wins, you know you'll be matched against full sweaty pro teams where the carrying margin for error is razor thin. Often at the expense of reasonable connections with red and yellow bars all over the place. But of course you have to waste an hour+ to even get to that point.
It's simply not fun, the epitome of a "well, it wasn't broken so we 'fixed' it" decision. I have fun playing with many different people of all different skill levels to help them win some matches. Frankly I don't have fun just steam rolling with full teams of high level players, that gets boring quick. Except now they took something already very difficult (carrying) and made it a pain in the neck.
I missed the RNG nature of HoW Mercury runs, where you never knew who'd you face next. Will the Scrub-Lords take pity on us with a scrubby final boss? Or will we have to sweat out all 7 wins? Some flawless runs were a total breeze while some took all the pro mode we could give. Now it's just "okay, we're at 7 wins, prepare for aggravation."
TL;DR: I understand that they wanted to reduce Trials carries. I don't understand why they wanted that.

They DDoS your teams players so it becomes 2v3 or 1v3.

Congratulations and may your union be happy!
Pretty sure BO3 has proper dedicated servers. They even have detailed pings and stuff.
This was our one loss as well. If you have a red bar your group should be kicked out of trials. End of story. It's ridiculous red bars get let in at all.
Exactly. Now I can't even play with my friends. They aren't good enough and that sucks
They aren't bad we went 9-0 every time we wanted to in old trials.
