Edited by ironBill: 5/5/2017 2:28:22 PMTook a few days to get through the cast - lots going on at work and home. Trials - I may not be a fan of it, but some form of endgame PvP content needs to exist. Trials doesn't really serve that niche well because it is ill-conceived to the core and of course the unified sandbox. What is needed is a complete redesign. Trials should have unique maps. It should have white guns. It should have a totally separate sandbox. The only thing that should carry over is the character and abilities, and perhaps armor. I know you're thinking, "IB, why unique maps? I get everything else, but maps?!" Yup. If you use white guns, unique maps could allow for 3v3 specific balanced game maps that will enable the use of any weapon. Now? Maps and weapon selection pretty much dictate a HC/IB/sidearm layout with most teams camping the back of a map. Why hang onto abilities and armor? That separates Destiny from CoD or Battlefield. If Bungie wants an MLG title, it has to find a niche. "But IB, I wanna use MY weapons!" Fair enough. You can have your cake and eat it too. A typical list of white guns for a week: Clever Dragon Mida Palindrome Matador Wormwood Icebreaker Longbow Synthesis Silvered Dread Hezen's Vengeance (HEEE-ZUNNNN'S, VENNN-JUNNNZ!) Whether or not you've earned a gun, if it's on the list, you may choose it. It's a god roll, of course. Reset special ammo to old values. Create enough space on maps and/or return primary power to year one levels. Let that play and adjust as necessary. Trials players can ask for whatever change they like and the rest of us enjoy the game with fewer needless interruptions.
