wtf @ ch4fx_ & other's RNG, I've had 5 pulses drop so far and didn't even log on Wednesday night. hope you guys get what you're after.

one of mine is a pretty good roll but not as good as the vendor, so I'll probably still buy that and infuse it up Monday.

IB has gotten me from 394 to 398 on my highest, so I can't complain about anything. will have to start trying the HM raid next week...

 

[Deku Tree]

holy one hour early trials on First Light batman!

what a great 3v3 map!

 

[lawtowler]

First Light is trials map, that's one for all the shotgun complainers!

 

[Kukawaki]

I actually like the trade kills @.@

 

[chur]

First Light? Lol.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

I made it a goal to go 3X Flawless every week in Y3.

I did it on Spooky Trials, but this...this is just dumb. There's zero justification for a 3v3 Game Mode being on a map this big other than, "We want to troll our community."

 

[Kadey]

Awww yeah. Hung jury and longbow.

 

[Strangelove77]

So not everyone likes this trials map.

A Destiny nation divided.

 

[Deku Tree]

Awww yeah. Hung jury and longbow.

More like Patience and Time.

 

[E92 M3]

First a Trump presidency and now First Light Trials.

We're doomed.

 

[Kadey]

Skyshock is next.

 

[CREMSteve]

Anyone for Trials?

 

[JHall]

Bungie has officially given up.

 

[EJRobinson90]

Fully out on First Light Trials. Let's just all hide in a corner until the round is over, no thanks.

 

[Strider]

I don't play Trials... but that seems like 3 weeks in a row Trials regulars aren't happy with the settings and/or map? Damn.

 

[silver.tongue]

I found spoiky trials to be fun. Ppl just dont like change.

This on the other hand, I dont know. Map is almost too big for a 6v6 mode... Lets see.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Ppl just dont like change.

This is not true at all. Change can be good. Change for the sake of change isn't good. Trials can always be better. This is someone just trolling the community and people that are all about Trials. Why? Because he can.

 

[HigXx]

First Light hahahaha omg! Definitely playing Trials this weekend

 

[Strangelove77]

Time to get that flawless.

 

[TheAquaticApe]

Time to get that flawless.

This is a serious question and not meant to be mean in anyway whatsoever. I know you're not a Trials regular(you've vented your frustrations with the game mode often on here), but what makes this more appealing to you than if it was a "normal" map? I am genuinely curious.

 

[Lima]

Ppl just dont like change.

Then why did people vote for Trump?

Make Trials great again. They are fucking trollin at this point.

I'm just messing around. I just saw someone on twitch playing this and I'm scared shitless.

 

[Lima]

Is this what a Trump presidency looks like? They are slowly destroying the best PvP mode they have.

It's kind of a slap in the face. Mantis is fully acknowledging it and he's actively trolling the community on twitter now.

I will probably just grind IB for a HCR CD this weekend.

 

[Lima]

Mida + your favorite sniper is going to be the most used Loadout this week. For the first time ever in Trials I will use a sniper.

 

[Strangelove77]

I guess now that they're out of content, Bungie is in LOLRANDOM mode and just throwing random shit everywhere.

 

[vctor182]

From 391 to 399, I'll be 400 by this weekend thanks to the IB loot system. Found some good weapons too:

 

[Lima]

Also will use golden gun and get that arachnid 🕷 helmet for dat extra zoom.

 

[Deku Tree]

They're trying shake things up hoping to find some way to bring new people into playing Trials. Because Trials is the only thing Destiny is going to have going for it for a very long time. They're not thinking about the hardcore players in threads like this... they're desperately looking for new players.

 

[Strangelove77]

Some of you are good at sniping though, right?
I remember year 1 and maybe year 2 was all about sniping in trials and pvp in general.

I assume you weekly flawless guys have been doing this since year 1. I could be wrong though.

 

[Lima]

They should have interceptors spawn for heavy round instead of heavy ammo.

If people who don't want to play Trials then why should the people who do have to suffer? Not everything in Destiny needs to be inclusive for everyone. I was bad at Trials in Y1. I saw what the game mode was and made a conscious effort to get good at it. Not ask Bungie to change it.

Bungie can do other things to Trials to "shake things up" without making it as terrible. They could do weapon and subclass balance updates more often. They could kill revives. They could mix up how OT and the cap zone work. Heck, they could even mess with flipping spawns. There's lot of good ideas the community has come up with that help change trials for the better.

The changes they are making are not that.

 

[irrotational]

Wait...first light...the giant moon map meant for 6s and vehicle combat!?

Doh! Gutted I won't get chance to play now...

 

[Dez_]

I suppose if I play trials, I can try using my Jade Rabbit. I can't snipe for shit.

Use TLW and your sparrow to get in range

 

[Lima]

Bungie gives us back radar but then gives us First Light where it is mostly useless because of the distances. 🤔

 

[silver.tongue]

Because ppl are stupid.

 

[Marco Tovarich]

Anyone wants to join us to complete the trials bounties and try to get to 5 wins? Titan at 392, warlock at 384.

[MandrakeUK]

Use TLW and your sparrow to get in range

I actually loled

 

[Kadey]

I want to see goli go flawless with just the sparrow. I remember he went flawless with just grenades and melee.

This map is too big even for 6v6. For trials it's comedic.

Quite a few got killed by shotguns on this map which is also funny.

 

[silver.tongue]

Anyone for challenge mode?

 

[LunaticPuma]

Remember when IB had re-forging? Bungie should go back to that. It made the event worthwhile instead of mindlessly grinding for end game drops and burning yourself out on the game itself.

They should just bring back reforging for every legendary. I shouldn't have to grind classic all day everyday for an Eyasluna to drop; I'd like to play other playlists.

Damn, Ape coming out to shit on the trials noobs! Not cool man!

Spoiler

J/k

 

[vin-buc]

Peeping a few streams and it seems that people are sparrowing straight to the dome tops for the most part. Shotties barely viable only in the domes/rooms themselves. Ranged hand cannons doing work, as are Mida's and Snipes.

Goldie with Deadeye with the Achlyophage Symbiote extra shot helmet (in case I miss......I will) is how I'm running.

 

[Kadey]

You use a weapon that will highlight enemies ala hung jury. Survey the map with it and do the deed. I always use hj or mida on super big maps.

 

[Triple Oceans]

Anyone up for nightfall?

EDIT: Nevermind doing Iron banner instead.

 

[LunaticPuma]

3 characters to rank 5. 4 CD drops, only 1 decent, 0 CD with HCR. Ugh.

I'm ready to go start tanking matches to cycle through drops faster.

 

[GustyGardens]

Do Faction rank ups go higher than 390? I can't seem to get anything higher than that.

 

[Strangelove77]

Do Faction rank ups go higher than 390? I can't seem to get anything higher than that.

Nope. 390 is the highest. If you want higher you're going to have to raid, Iron Banner, trials and exotic engrams.
