Wait, they shut off radar and revives for Trials this week?!
Sounds great. It's what the mode should have been since the start.

It kind of works in your favor too. Basically move around the map slowly while covering each other's backs. Get the first kill and go ham on the others. You don't have to worry about covering dead bodies. Sunsingers and Bladedancers will obviously rule this week.
Today must be my lucky day. Having so many blues and purples turn into gold.

Respectfully disagree.
What they should have done from the start is rotate spawns.
Nah, I totally get you, and didn't make it clear that I empathized with you from my original post. I think world events like these are best when they are an across the board temp. change rather than specific things targetted that can penalized certain people like you.
This would be a wonderful addition.

As someone who came from thousands of hours of SOCOM (no respawn, no radar), Trials being billed as something for the elite of the elite by Bungie was always laughable to me. I guess this will be a agree to disagree moment.

I think radar should have never been part of Trials. No radar makes for a lot more fun. Rotating spawns would be good as well.

Wooooooooow. Thorn is awful now. Why even bother bringing it back in year 3 if you are going to nerf the one thing that makes it exotic into the ground? Not a single poison kill across three rounds of supremacy. It is just a mediocre hand cannon now. WTF. Way to shit on the most fun gun in the game.
Why not just use your Spark of Light?
I did on my hunter but still need to level up the subclasses and then I'm gonna use the level 25 spark of light on a titan.

According to DTR less than 300k people have played trials. I believe the average is roughly 400-600k. John will need to correct me if I am wrong.

Im actually enjoying the no revive. Also the speed the matches are enjoyable to me, but yeah it's tough to get a win. Only got up to 6 so far.
Just makes the game feel more like Call of Duty. No flow. Just aimless running and dying to a shotgun around the corner.

It's kinda weird they mess with the most serious multiplayer mode in Destiny. Why not just a seperate playlist? Throw in a unique armor set and the event is already a lot beefier in content.
The fun part is: Trials will be like this next weekend too most likely, it's a two week event no?

I haven't played it so can't properly comment but Destiny has terrible (non existent) sound queues.

Trials should have random modifiers every week or at least every alternate week. That will test the real strength of teams with callouts, coordination, map knowledge and team shooting.
Although having no revives and no radar at the same time can be brutal for casuals and bounty runners. Rotate them alternately.
No revives prevents camping - which ruins normal trials.
No radar promotes more aggressive play but also makes you extra cautious of your position and stay alert at all times.
Make trials great again!

I'd be up for a quick NF.

Experimenting is fine, but no radar is just a clearly dumb move. PVP in Destiny is designed around the radar. You can't listen for footsteps like in Overwatch.

How am I supposed to kill people if I can't see them coming from a mile away though???
Plus how am I supposed to win now that I'm not the only one playing in a stacked team anymore???
Come on Lnkn, you know how we roll.
No radar is fine, you have to adjust your play style. Go hunting, you can do this without resorting to shotguns too (although they will make your life easier).
What would be much more fun (for me at least) would be a no supers/no powers mode. Just weapons and standard melee. Perhaps a generic grenade for all classes.
Or if we're /really/ wishing...
Some Blood Gulch style maps for longer range battles.
Or allow us to choose to play with infinite sniper rounds, set a game to no-shotguns, fusion rifles only...
Options, Bungie, options. You made Halo which had (as it progressed) one of the best multiplayer suits in gaming history. Destiny PvP is a lot of fun simply because Destiny's gunplay is so damn good. The rhythm and feedback (both in feel and sound) are the best in the industry, I'd love to be able to dive in and set up some public games with more unique options.
I have no idea why you didn't allow this Bungie. I've no idea why you took so many steps back.

HM or regular? I am down for either. Anyone else up for a raid run ?

Primaries only trials would be the best. I was looking forward to trying trials this week. First match was lots of fun. But as usual we got to 5 wins and the lag turns up a notch which meant shotguns would no longer kill people when you expect to. Insta kill when someone blows in your direction.
