that's sad so much farming trials armor

[Wilus]

you'll need to find 2 sweaty dudes to help you because it's just 3 stacks :( oh well monkey armor maybe next season

You don't have to win a single round to get the new armor, obviously it helps to speed up the process through the points earned for the weekly pinnacle and the 7 wins for the second pinnacle from saint-14 but you can get trials engrams simply through playing matches and getting rank points that level up saint-14's vendor rewards.

And how is this different from ANY other trials weekend in the past? Nothing new here.

Get better > queue up with sweaty players in LFG > profit.

my annoyance with it is that there clearly are other people solo queued. So why is the game forcing me to match up against stacks

Because Trials has had numerous runs of freelance options and it doesn't stay permanently because the data keeps showing that the people who get slaughtered by "stacks" get slaughtered by randoms with near identical frequencies. Trials is easy as piss for one good player to carry with no communication. If you're getting dunked on in normal queue, you'd be getting dunked on in freelance. Blaming that on 'stacks' is a cop out.

I just semi-afk'ed a bunch of matches and got the trials set. You dont need wins, just completions for xp rank up.

Literally every TWAB released for trials freelance weeks has Bungie showing the numbers of blowout matches and they're near identical.

What? iirc the first twab had the exact opposite. The amount of one sided stomps went down a lot.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50802

"The overall blowout rate (games that ended with a score of 5-0) was almost as low as our best post-revamp week, when the Flawless pool went active Friday afternoon, at 27.8%. This was powered by the significant number of fireteam vs fireteam matches and solos vs solos matches, both of which had 25% blowout rates. "

So yea, idk what you're talking about. Going to need some proof.

Me and 2 friends who are all casual players and by no means are we good at all. We were able to get to the light house Friday no problem.
