I started off with the biggest losing streak of my career before finally making it to the lighthouse only to get an absolute terrible roll. Hopefully I have a bit more luck the rest of this weekend farming for it.

How about y’all? Excited about any rolls you got? Frustrated by anything happening? Have anything crazy happen?

(I’m a PS5 player that normally plays in MnK lobbies with his PC Master race friends, if anyone is looking for people to play with I’m potentially down to play as my normal crew is gone most this weekend)

    Haven’t jumped in yet. I don’t do Trials very often and don’t have a solid crew to roll with, but I sometimes settle for the non-adept versions of the guns that seem worthwhile. It’s Messenger this weekend, right?

      Yeah, it’s the messenger this weekend. I’m going to be grinding hard for a solid crucible roll. Also if you’re interested in getting into trials more you’d be more than welcome to play with my friends and I. I’m not the greatest, but I manage to go flawless playing in PC lobbies pretty consistently so I’m not bad. I end up playing with a mix of people ranging from very good to very PvE mains.

      I’ve been coaching a few friends for awhile now so I usually have at least 1 really solid player to play with but there’s generally a lot of times where I have an open spot or two in my fireteam.

      If you or anyone else is interested I could get people in my clans discord where I usually casually organize playing trials with people each weekend. I usually organize fireteams by whether or not people are only wanting to play console lobbies too for those that play on console and are opposed to playing MnK players

        I may just take you up on that! Pretty busy weekend, but I can hit you up if I find myself with some time later.

    RNJesus is a cruel SOB sometimes. What was your roll?

    How have you found the new matchmaking? I haven’t had a chance to play trials since those changes.

      Every roll I’ve gotten so far is offhand strike and mostly encore/kinetic tremors.

      I’m not sure it feels much different since the changes, I still get a lot of really laggy matches, I think the bigger issue is the player population is just tanking so regardless of what kind of matchmaking they do it’s kinda a bad experience. And since they removed the flawless pool they made it so you can farm drops on wins on a 7-win card once you’ve been flawless right away but because now there’s an extra 2 days to farm that way they lowered the drop rates. Other people have been saying the get one roughly 1 out of every 4 wins, but I’ve got 0 to drop after 32 wins

    Never been flawless. Made it to 5 wins on my first card and then had a match where my teammate left on the first death. Unfortunately, I had grabbed passage of ferocity cause I’m a dummy. So yeah, it was game over then.

    Also, stick drift has become unmanageable on dual sense so I might be done until I can get that fixed 😞

      Yeah I’ve found lately that late Saturday afternoons tend to be the most consistent time of the weekend but Fridays have been hit or miss. I’ve been busy and haven’t played much the last couple trials weekends so I don’t know too much about how sundays have been feeling. I wonder how many people still wait until Sunday to even play not knowing that the flawless pool isn’t a thing anymore
