Petition to remove Trials of Osiris from the game (not #satire)
Let me start by saying that I have absolutely nothing against the game mode itself other than its lack of matchmaking, but unfortunately the players who participate in Trials continually destroy the game for everyone else. I know it's a radical suggestion to remove an entire game type because of player behavior, but I'm not sure anyone is going to want to keep playing the shell of a game that Trials players leave the rest of us.
The problem is and always will be nerfs.
Since Trials inception, it has easily been the single biggest contributor to nerf posts on these forums.
- Thorn was essentially erased from this game because of Trials.
- Hand Cannons were AR'd because of Trials.
- Pulse Rifles just got boned [i]because of Trials[/i].
- Sunbreakers were probably doomed anyway, but the loudest cries for nerfs... Trials.
And as bad as all those were, now I'm seeing posts crying that Trials matches aren't fair because of MIDA and Truth.
Seriously go find a Chinese hell to burn in if you're going to cry about MIDA and Truth. The point of this game was supposed to be becoming more powerful and finding more powerful and awesome weapons. MIDA has [i]always[/i] been a great counter to any "God weapon" in this game, not because it's OP, but because it's so well balanced and versatile from mid to long range.
But rather than find counters like MIDA, rather than grind for your own "God weapons" if you feel you can't compete, rather than get fracking good, we've systematically destroyed every weapon and class that was ever fun in this game.
Go shoot a goddamn Fusion Rifle. They're complete garbage. Collateral damage from the constant dicking over of weapons, all to "balance" one stupid PvP mode that almost no one plays.
Someone post those pathetic numbers they put up a month or so ago about how few players actually compete in ToO and the infinitesimal number that have actually gone to the Lighthouse.
So we're going to have all our weapons ruined in not only PvP, but PvE as well so probably less than 5% of the player base don't cry? I just don't get your thought process here Bungie.
I can tell you this though, there's not one reasonable or remotely valid reason to nerf Truth, MIDA or Scouts and if that unbelievably stupid thought crosses Jon Wisnewski's mind then it's time to pull the plug on Trials.
And to anyone who enjoys Trials, I'm sorry but there would be no one to blame but yourselves. Better you lose your game mode than be allowed to keep dragging the rest of this game down with your incessant crying for nerfs.
EDIT: Just to clarify because I'm being accused of having put up nerf posts [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Topics/0/Default/None/%23realbalanceisnotbalanced]#realbalanceisnotbalanced[/url]

5 RepliesAlso, but removing Trials... What do you think would happen? That everything would magically get better and improve because the competitive PvP is gone? Wrong. Iron Banner, once again, would take its place. These posts are so idiotic. As long as Bungie caters to every little scrub in PvP there will NEVER be an end to nerfs. Ever. Because there will always be a new "go to weapon" that has an advantage. As long as there is [b]that[/b] weapon the it'll never stop. Want the nerfing to stop? Well, the only way it will is if there is a standard loadouts of primaries (common) [or just one universal primary] that have identical kill times if you hit all precision shots. No more starting with legendary or exotics. They will be power weapons picked up on the map. There will be one support weapon (IB, Invective, Plan C, etc. but have limited ammo) on each side of the map of spawn and one power weapon (Truth, Railgun, Gjallarhorn).They will be set to appropriate timers. Other than hit box tweaks the damage and lethality of the weapons will stay the same. Why? Because they're power weapons. But the difference is, not every single person is running around with them or picking up heavy crates at the same time. THAT is balance. As long as everyone is running around with weapons that have ridiculous perks it will NEVER end. Period. But nobody wants what I said above. Because that's Halo. Or "COD" considering the loadouts. Absolutely nothing will change by getting rid of Trials. The players will simply go back to regular Crucible and Iron Banner.
