Hah, no worries. Hopefully we can get three more folks in so you can do the raid for the first time.

If they really wanted to stop carries why didn't they move all those who have been to Mercury that weekend on that character into a different player pool for matchmaking?
That way the best players get to Mercury first. But then with enough time and perseverance the more average players can get there.
To make it fair I would say have the final boss fight be someone from that pool having already been to Mercury.
It seems a lot fairer than everything else they've done with trials

Aww, the description says "Increased amount of Heavy/Special ammo drops" I'll be dissapointed if it doesn't work like Ruin wings (sometimes) do.
I could take a checkpoint if you are still around.
9:00pm GMT works for me ..
psn aanx10uss 305 Hunter, completed a number of times, also very patient ;-)

Sry about that, waited about 15 min for a thread reply, saw you were running the raid and ran off to play Crucible with phantom... didn't check the thread after that and didn't wanna ditch phantom when y'all sent invite
Me! PSN the_id
I can hang out for a little bit if you want to try to put together a quick group.
I will probably need to depart in 20-30 minutes though.

Its worded very vaguely, so Im not 100% sure.
In year 1, the team composition which averaged highest win % by far was 3x Warlock fire teams.

Wow that thing is practically Tlaloc in super mode all on its own.

That's a very interesting idea talked about earlier.
Here's my addition:
Trials should basically have ranking and keep track of how many flawless runs you've done on your account as a whole.
That way if you have 1 total flawless you'll go against another team with 1. It can do the average of the fireteam if people have different flawless accounts.
I ran into a few teams that already went flawless yesterday that dominated especially with their trials scouts. It needs to be more Balanced.
With the above system, you can then have "rewards" tiers. Flawless wins 0, 1-5, 6-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc. With each tier you can earn better rewards (debatable and maybe can be just strange coins and motes or something). That way teams that aren't as good can eventually get up there because they're facing teams struggling to get to that next teir.
Either way, at least some form of Flawless history to matchmake against similar average flawless.
I'd rather have that system than matching against similar cards because cards alone doesn't mean as much.

I don't think the population is large enough to have such a specific filter without matchmaking terrible distant and laggy lobbies or introducing super slow matchmaking.
The current system is a good compromise between competitiveness and a wide enough net that matchmaking can still find you a reasonable ping lobby most of the time.

So I got randomly picked to be Nghtly's first Trials carry for the day... man that was an experience. First ever trip to the Lighthouse for me, I got the auto rifle, 314 with persistence and rangefinder. Dunno how useful it will be.

It's a system so it'll attempt to do what makes sense first and go down the list. Everything basically has a weighted priority. Much better than what it is now.

I hope Bungie sees this. People are still getting carried. All the new MM did was mess with folks who are above average PVP players who actually went flawless on their own. They need to go back to the old system. No one complained about it.
Yeah absolutely stick me on reserve, no problem!
Pretty sure they won't go back. The current system makes Silver / Gold tiers something anyone can get, whereas it was impossible for many before. It also makes Mercury more prestigious. I think it better aligns with the Trials concept this way.
Easier to get armor / weapons, harder to get the exclusive Adept stuff and emblems (which Honestly are more trophies than truly attractive gear from a stats perspective since it's basically the same as gold / 5-7 win rewards).
Yup, Bungie needs to ban those type of people from ever playing crucible again.
This is an interesting idea. As someone who is average at best in PvP all the current changes have done is ensure I'm not touching Trials. On the flipside even though it would drive me crazy personally I don't think it's a bad thing that there are things gated behind skill walls, whether it be PvE (HM KF) or PvP (Trials). It's a weird problem to solve, I don't know that what they're doing now is any better or worse than it was before though.
My friend of a friend raised his rates for carries due to how Bungie has said publicly on how Trials matchmaking works now. Dude is making even more bank now. Actually kinda jealous lol. Wish I was good enough at games to make money doing it

The silver and gold tier changes are fine. However, they specifically stated they didn't want people getting carried. People are getting carried. The new system has failed and only makes it harder everyone else. I am 100% for people seeing and doing everything in Destiny regardless of skill level.
I really enjoyed ToO in HoW. I went flawless last night in the new system and hated it.

Wow those were easily some of the laggiest consecutive Trials games I've ever played. That was like vintage Iron Lagger style. Gross.
