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.

I'm mixed on it. I'm for whatever brings traffic to the game, so if it's effective in that way I support it. Personally I'm usually not good enough to win 7 straight, but I could eventually get a mercy card done. I found myself playing more in pursuit of that, and there was more of a thrill of going "Flawless" . Now it's just bland, but I still have fun.
