New trials. How I feel.

Last weekend was my first taste of the new trials system. And I love it. I went to the lighthouse four times. I felt like I could focus on my improvement more without worrying about a streak as much. And the loot is generous. But what I really love is the boatload of materials you get. It rewards your time and effort a lot better. Now I'm very much looking forward to the weekend. Yes, it still wasn't a cakewalk. You will have losses, but you won't be out of the running. This is what I imagine trials being and should have been years ago. I know my 2 cents is late, but I'm glad I can speak positively about trials for once.

    Honestly, I don't like Trials anymore, but I'm happy for you. Trials for me, was supposed to be that game mode where you strive for the ultimate goal of reaching the Lighthouse after battling your way to 7 hard fought matches. Now? Going to the Lighthouse feels about as rewarding as getting a participation ribbon. There's no joy in it, there's nothing rewarding about just sticking it out until you get to 7 wins, regardless of how many matches you've lost. Not to mention, most players will just leave the game anyway after a round loss, or two. I understand that the changes were made for the casuals, and then have a completely separate card system for people who want the above mentioned experience, HOWEVER, that doesn't excuse the fact that they basically gutted what the gamemode was in the first place. Bungie tried to please the casuals, but also killed Trials in the process.
