The new trials are poorly balanced for now (I still love it)
So,after a few days of playing the new trial and mk,I just couldn't appreciate them fully,they're great but damn they're poorly balance and with how RB has not fixed "Kill the snitch" despite knowing it's completely broken,I'm pretty worried they'll not do anything about that too.

1- "Please the prosecutor" is a really cool trial,I love the map and the objectives are fun,but god there's no time to breathe,especially on "Winter Kills".
Like you have every enemies being on high alert by default because of the "waiting around" mechanic (which I really like) but then you got enemies spawning everywhere all the time with no room to breathe and I think it's a bit too much.
Franco spawns,roams around,then a Pusher spawns so you wait till he's gone but then "Cold Snap" begins so you hide,but then a Pitcher comes out so you have to dodge and by the time this happens,you waited like 10min and Franco came back 3 times in the whole process.
You get what I mean ? No time to breathe or do objectives.
Overall I love that trial but please give me more than 5sec without the need to hide.

2- "Reunite the family",which btw the title is a completely random as it has nothing to do with that,you just get a child doll and grind it.
Well this trial has a serious issue with indications,I get it for "Rebirth" cuz you have to find out about it and somehow have vague indications but you can't just say "Reunite the family" and hope the players will find out that :
- They have to follow 2 wires,find 4 fuse boxes
- Find fuel for a generator they didn't necessarily see cuz you don't even need to go through the kitchen to find the fuse boxes
- Then get keys in said kitchen (especially since some of these keys are out of the kitchen) to open the door to grind the kid.
In every single trials before you had explanation like "find X amount of tickets to enter the park" ,"find the X amount of keys to restart the power" or even "restart the X amount of generators".
The only other trial that did this was "Shutdown the factory" and many people were frustrated because they didn't know what they had to do.
And no it's not that I want or need the game to "hold my hand" but there's a difference between letting players find out and just dropping them on a map with no indications at all.
Idk man but at some point we need indications on what to do if you're gonna get us to restart an entire power plant lmao.

TLDR (because nowadays people are lazy) : Maybe adjust the balance of those 2 trials because it's poorly balanced so far.

The name of Reunite the Family has everything to do with the MK. At the grinder you can see the bodies of the parents and I believe another doll

1 - The spawning Pusher and Pitcher are easily the most frustrating and least polished element of the game. To make it worse, hiding in a locker will delay the spawn. If their spawn timer is up and you are still in a hiding spot the game will wait until you step out before immediately sending one in. This also makes the two Hide & XYZ amps way less useful to me. Oh and for the Pusher, after being on the map for his time limit he will switch to moving 1.5x speed for an elevator SILENTLY. This has caught me out many times because it's so unpredictable.

I mean,I wish we actually had to reunite the family,like grabbing the parents as dolls,putting them in a spot,then getting the child doll too and reuniting them.
Sure,you see them for like 2sec at the end but overall you just grab a child doll and toss it into the grinder.
