An Obvious, but Interesting Trials Statistic
With the release of Rise of Iron, the first map for Trials was Last Exit. I went flawless three times in like 5 hours and was able to get the Vigilant Disciple fairly easily. It was quite fun and I'm sure I was not alone in that thought process. There were a number of different weapons being used and various tactics. Everyone was leveling and it was a good time.
[b]826,734 accounts participated in Trials that weekend, and 139,066 went flawless! That's a LOT. [/b]
57% of total kills that weekend were with shotguns, and snipers were 36%.
Matador 64 was 7.86%
Fast forward to this weekend. Everyone has hit light level long ago. Lots of people aren't playing the game because there's nothing new to do, or earn. There's an established 'meta' which nearly everyone runs. IMO Trials is pretty challenging right now. I'm a shotgunner. And I'm not complaining about them. Just stats.
[b]247,120 accounts have participated in Trials this weekend, and 36,430 have gone flawless. The lowest it has been since ROI release (I realize the weekend isn't over yet but let's be real)[/b]
62% of total kills this weekend were with shotguns. 25% are Matador 64.

Ok, 57% and 62% aren't that much different. Shotguns aren't the problem. What's different are the number of people NOT playing the game. Of course it's an obvious stat and everyone on here already knows... But I felt like writing it down so there it is.
All Bungie has to do is give the player an incentive to play trials and everyone's life would be a lot easier. But the majority have what's out there and the rng from those bounties is so bad that the rest either get carried, pay for an account run, or don't even bother.

28 RepliesInteresting stats and I can tell you that from an avg or slightly below avg player, trials hasn't interested me in months and months.. There is no incentive for me to become bullet fodder for the elite stacked teams or the carriers.. The bounties give me last years gear so why would I bother to get it when its not current. Bungie has done nothing to lure me to trials and has come out ant flat out said it isn't for everyone.. so if they want to tell me it wasn't made for me, why would I go play it. The elites push down our throats we need to get gud and that any suggestion to make changes that would encourage more of us to play are always shot down as we get told the game mode is for the best only. Tiers have been suggested, so have several alterations that would allow competition between skill levels to be fair and equitable, this of course would bring players in to play but, would likely take away streamers ability to make money.. which brings us to Skorri.. something that several have used successfully in strategies to beat other teams.. and its the less skilled apparently that are using it.. and teams are upset about this.. and re complaining to bungie to fix the problem.. funny.. before it was the skrubs told to get gud.. improve and that trials is for the best of the best.. If you are one of the best, you adapt to the change, you find a way to over come.. isn't that what has been preached to the lesser players for a couple years.. yet now.. when it is impacting elites earning potential, the old rules don't apply.. they want things to remain tilted in there favor.. Would I like to goto the lighthouse again.. get the new gear etc.. sure I would.. but, there is no incentive for me to bash my head against a wall with the way the system has been created.. I want to have fun and with the rules as they are, I get very little if anything out of becoming a bullet sponge.
