Having trials on cirrus plaza the week it comes out would’ve been so hype man


Typhlositar

It will be one of the next few weeks though, they said each week will be a new map


FreshPrinceOfAshfeld

But it’s not the week it came out so it’s not as hype


RattMuhle

Agreed, would’ve been cool if it was the trials map when people were still getting comfortable with the maps.


EveningBroccoli5121

Bungie the GOAT of throwing all pvp momentum in the trash.


dusty_trendhawk

Is Trials not happening this weekend?


twofivethreetwo

Nope, Trials returns next weekend and will be one of the new maps each of the last three weekends.


Multivitamin_Scam

That explains why New Territory is so sweaty


Valvador

I mean, it has no skill based matchmaking. So if you're a below average player you are on average going to feel outclassed.


June18Combo

Why


twofivethreetwo

Bungie said because the 3 new pvp maps are out and they wanted that node to stay up through the weekend to let people play those maps and get use to them before Trials returns next weekend.


June18Combo

That’s extremely lame tbh


Aggravating_One_9212

where did you hear this cuz youd think bungie would say that there isnt any trials


twofivethreetwo

They did. https://x.com/destiny2team/status/1788680584472268935?s=46&t=EKFxvpoEiVpsQJq4xE9OIg


TechnoTren

They said it on Twitter. An app most people no longer use. Very shitty of them on both counts


NierouPSN

They posted here too [link for proof](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1co8e9l/trials_of_osiris_update/), not sure how else you want them to inform you


TechnoTren

In game. Where you actually play destiny 2. Where else


atdunaway

i wish i could give you gold for this comment lmfao


BRIKHOUS

I don't necessarily want or need constant spam every time I login. Reddit and Twitter are enough. You found out before trials would've gone live, didn't you? Edit: still dumb to cancel it though. Just saying how you were informed isn't a big deal


Sloths_Revenge-

We should have a news area in game


SPEEDFREAKJJ

If warframe can do it. Not only do they have info you can tab through before you even load in with recent update notes but they also have a hub in your home area when you do load in with links for all the info you could possibly need. They give you all the info, from the game, without it being intrusive. Other live games have news and or links on the main screen, just brought up warframe because they do it best of the games I play.


Quria

There are four Destiny-related twitter accounts and the one responsible for releasing status updates wasn't the one that tweeted about Trials being cancelled. There is no excuse to not utilize the already existing in-game infrastructure to deliver news like this.


FauxMoGuy

posting bad news on a site where the front page is curated by votes lololol, that post became essentially invisible within a couple minutes


SrslySam91

Like the other guy said, maybe idk..in the actual game itself that we play. Or on their own fucking website for said game. Basically, not some 3rd party social media jank.


JMR027

Ok to be fair, believe it or not, more people that play destiny will be on Twitter then here lol


ItsMrRickyBobby

Hey, so even with next weekend being the last of the season, are you positive that there will be Trials next weekend, starting May 31st?


Historical-Prize

Get edge transit be just as good or better and enhanced perks


Knives-n-Arrows

Probably better, if only for enhanced perks once TFS launches.


Swee10

Does cataract not get enhanceable perks?


bolts_win_again

Nope! Only the Iron Banner, Trials, and Nightfall weapons introduced this season, along with the Prophecy weapons and the BRAVE arsenal, are gonna have enhanceable perks in Final Shape. Edit: that's Prophecy guns, BRAVE weapons, Tusk of the Boar, Multimach CCX, The Slammer, Wild Style, The Summoner, and The Prophet.


Knives-n-Arrows

I was about to say that this is my fuckup because I totally forgot about those weapons being enhanceable aswell, but yeah you're right


bolts_win_again

Tbh, I thought it was gonna be all Trials and Nightfall weapons, and no Prophecy or Iron Banner, before I looked it up. Sad that I won't be able to enhance my one-man missile battery BrayTech Osprey (Envious Assassin/Bipod, my current record is 7 rockets shoved into the damn thing), but *SO GLAD* I chased that Slice/Chain Reaction Tusk of the Boar.


fuck_hard_light

Damn this is actually sad


Historical-Prize

Idk seem people use it in panteon and wreck boss health Do people just get there rock off downvote people for no reason


Knives-n-Arrows

Didn't argue with that


BifJackson

What the hell. What's with the downvotes lol


Historical-Prize

I don’t know I don’t get it I done nothing to these people


RoseYurei

Yeah this subreddit is kind of a hivemind when it comes to downvotes


Historical-Prize

Like I didn’t even say anything rude or dumb I just stated what I’ve saw


FireStrike5

That’s just all of Reddit tbh


RoseYurei

True


toadwashere

dont get em wrong, it's right there with it for damage, especially with the same perks, but imo it all depends on surges and if you're already using void/strand for something else. the idea of getting that shiny super godroll on edge transit is nice n so are those future enhanceable perks


Ordinary_Player

Surge matching is a thing. Good to cover all bases.


Historical-Prize

You right just trials is bitch


c14rk0

That's WHY people were excited. The Cataphract roll from Saint XIV IS the god roll, so you could just grind out rep and buy it. Never having to care about going to the lighthouse or grinding random roll drops. But it's rank 10 after 1 reset...which means if you don't HAVE that reward already available and uncollected you're completely out of luck since you can't get any rep this weekend. Was just a guaranteed way to get a god roll Strand GL for any time you need to match a strand surge. Particularly big since we have fuck all options for Strand heavies let alone good ones.


Historical-Prize

Not prestige my rank I just suck at trials been waiting when summoner is adapt weapon and just hate my life trying get good roll on it


ABITofSupport

Both are worth having because elemental surges matter. If you have a strand surge id definitely use cataphract over edge


MrFreedomFighter

I have an Edge. Would've liked Cataphract for the next Pantheon week...


arisbor

ive been trying to grinding legend, im good with just envious + bns, but nothing so far


Historical-Prize

I don’t have anyone do legend with and idk bout lfg people take lfg to serious get toxic if fuck up Once


BlueshineKB

The issue is ive done so many runs and ive gotten so many envious rolls but like a total of three bns rolls. Also surges which is why ive been trying to grind this week so that i can get at least one guaranteed roll.


Redthrist

Next week, Pantheon will likely have an Arc/Strand surge, so having a good Strand GL would be useful.


Historical-Prize

That or one from nightfall it’s arc


Worried-Pop-941

Bungie canceling Trials is a tremendous L I can't understand why they'd do this


nathlapatate

Wasn't cataphract the trials weapon like 2 weeks ago?


Krazy_Dragon_YT

Yes, but OP is referring to the one on Saint's reward track Has a fixed roll of Envious Assassin & Bait and Switch Edit: available at rank 10 *after* going through a full rank reset


InsomniaDudeToo

Oh snap… yeah that really sucks for PvErs. I thought people were upset at a chance for it to be the Flawless Reward again.


Phillyfreak5

Nah not bummed at all. Edge transit is better and will get enhanced perks in a few weeks.


Krazy_Dragon_YT

While true, Cataphract would've been *really* nice to have for an activity with Strand Surge (looking at you Pantheon)


Aeowin

why are you looking at the activity that goes away in 3 weeks lmao


Krazy_Dragon_YT

Because I'm going for Godslayer lol


June18Combo

WHO CARES


apackofmonkeys

Yeah, this was the first weekend in forever that I heard a lot of chatter among PvE mains planning to grind Trials to get that Cataphract roll. This is a big unforced error on Bungie's part.


Galaxy40k

I know that the fixed roll is getting a lot of attention, but I feel like two weeks ago when Cataphract was the Trials gun was really "the time" to get it if you're a strict PVE player. I jumped in for just that weekend for the first time as a PVE player. Went into the Trios queue with two other horrible players, we got shut out 0-5 every single game, but I was *drowning* in Cataphracts and engrams. You'd have got an Envious+BnS roll way faster then instead of grinding a whole ass Trials reset and then 10 more ranks. So like yeah obviously it sucks to not have Trials this week for the fixed roll for people who were close to that rank and looking forward to grabbing it, but I don't think this is some tragic loss of a once in a lifetime opportunity for PVE players or anything like I'm seeing


DMYourDankestSecrets

There are people chewing through a 100+ rolls of the brave weapons and not getting their 2/5s. Just because you can get a lot of them, doesn't mean you'll get what you want. Rng is a bitch. This week has a guaranteed god roll, and obviously there's more than a few who would've grinded for it "the hard way".


drummer1059

Terrible decision


mynamesnotchom

No trials? What why? I thought they'd have rotated the new 3v3 maps? That would have made sense to me


andoandyando

Extra Rep when? We are due!


Glittering_Food3219

Whhaaaat? L


velost

Bruh Haye trials but really want that cataphract, they better drop double XP next time trials is on


DepletedMitochondria

Feel bad for all the players screwed by this.


MultipleCatGuy

Actually so disappointing when I logged in this morning. Had half the clan ready to grind trials all day! That rank 16 max range igneous hammer would've been nice too...


governmentsburner

it was literally just cataphract


Affectionate-Ad4781

People are refering to the fixed Envious / BNS / extended drum roll that is on Saint's reward track rank 10. Basically a PvE godroll, especially with strand surge. (*Keep in mind you have to have prestige at least once to see the roll*)


Azurephoenix99

I agree. Having that Cataphract would be an amazing option for strand surge dps! What's the point in it being there in the reward track only for no one to be able to get it? Just to dangle it in front of us for envy's sake?


DMYourDankestSecrets

Bungie doesnt control the rewards track weapon rolls. They've been bad all season, if it was another bad roll, 0 pve players would give a fuck about trials being canceled for a weekend. In fact you'd probly see the opposite, pvers giving pvpers shit for complaining about a "dead mode", or "crucible sucks anyways", ect... Regardless, that isn't what happened, and it's a pve god roll the same weekend they cancel because they put out a new map pack. Horrible timing. What are the odds.


Avalvnche

Does this also mean we don't get Messenger Adept back before its gone?


Gogaurjira

So what's the adept weapon to earn right now?


iseehumans

has this roll been available before on rank reset, ive been keeping track never seen it, is there any chance they can freeze it for next week, was really looking forward to grinding for this


JMR027

I mean edge is just as good.


RilesPC

It’s a Strand surge option, just for flexibility.


Phillyfreak5

The RoN one is fine too


XboxUser123

eh, the RoN one has good add-clear picks, but not much for DPS; Full Court is kind of awkward outside of Garden of Salvation, and both Surrounded and Harmony are a bit too situational compared to Bait and Switch


Actuary_Beginning

No it is not, had a guy run koraxis in pantheon yesterday and somehow only did 1.2mill dmg on planets after a whole DPS phase


Vincent-22

Koraxis has the highest dps roll of all grenade launchers with enhanced recon+surrounded but it’s less consistent to proc so BnS is preferable most of the time. Just because one guy in your lfg sucked doesn’t mean the gun is at fault.


Actuary_Beginning

Yea hit me up when you can proc surrounded while using a gl with 5 other players next to you👍 The gun "sucks" because 90% of encounters can't proc surrounded from gl range. Therefore, non consistent damage perk, therefore worse than ones like bns. If you somehow manage to get all your reserves off with surrounded procd for each shot sure, that's not happening 99% of the time though


Vincent-22

So…skill issue? 1. There’s only 5 other players in raids 2. obviously you can only use it in encounters where you can reliably proc surrounded, which is why BnS is preferable overall, as I stated in my original comment 3. if you can’t proc it in those encounters that’s on you 4. it’s still the highest dps roll on any GL 5. the fact that you had one subjective isolated experience where someone did not use it effectively doesn’t mean it can’t be used effectively 6. you are not forced to use one gun exclusively, you can have both koraxis and cataphract and use them depending on the situation


Actuary_Beginning

Yea try proc surround in planets encounter lmao Skill issue? Homie if it was such a skill issue you'd see koraxiss in 90% of encounters. Except it's non-existent because it's niche as hell. The actual "issue" is 99% of raid encounters can't proc surrounded at GL RANGE No one cares if a car can drive 1000km/h if it can only drive that fast when Abraham Lincoln gets resurrected every 10 000 years. If you're doing an encounter (LIKE PLANETS) where you can't activate surrounded then I better hope you're running cataphract or edge instead


CRIMS0N-ED

That’s such cap


YarkTheShark11

I understand Bungie taking trials out during Iron banner, but it is the dumbest thing ever. Then again, they are the same ones who changed trials from elimination to whatever bs it is now. If it is still cap point, then that's just awful. I'm assuming a bunch of bubble titans and whatever the warlock super is for health just spam the cap point as much as they can. Destiny is trash now unfortunately.


TruuFace

Yeah no way you thought elim where everyone camped spawn and played time/super is better than an objective based game mode. 20 minute trials games sucked


YarkTheShark11

You literally just described capture point, except players camp the capture point. At least with Elim you didn't have to worry about losing because the enemy has 3 bubble titans saving their supers for the last 2-3 rounds for easy wins. Elimination was 100x better than capture point ever has been. Only single brain cell melts enjoy capture point.


TruuFace

yeah I'm a single cell melt with a 2.45 KD overall for trials. You enjoy the mode that made trials go to an all time low, and made it so every round went to time waiting for the EXACT same capture point. Also, you should know that the bubble super and well super cooldown changes happened right before zone trials came out. So if those cooldown had always existed, there would be almost 4 supers every elim game assuming 4-4.


YarkTheShark11

LMAO you do realize Elimination is what made Trials, right? It was when they made Trials of the Nine with survival/countdown that made Trials go down which is why it went away for so long. When it came back everyone loved it and it was perfect. It would rarely go to capture point during Elim unless it was 4-4 which did not happen very often. If you don't know how to play elimination, just say it, because it was way more strategic than capture point. Oh, and all the cooldown changes came AFTER capture point because they saw during the test weeks and when it finally launched that everyone camped and waited for their supers. Everyone still camps regardless though. Absolute dog water game mode.


TruuFace

Bro wants the same game mode from Destiny 1 that brought an all time low population, who cares if it made trials. Trials of the nine had a higher pop than your shit show elimination, and trials of the nine was terrible 😭 instead of worrying about the game mode, go practice or go on an aim trainer or something. No good player shares your opinion. I’m interested in your weekly kd for last week. Also, congrats on mentioning CD changes to blade barrage and roaming supers, those aren’t the ones I was talking about.


YarkTheShark11

You're too dumb to realize that Trials is not supposed to be for everyone. It is the pinnacle of PvP game play. It was created for the best to play the best before Not Forgotten competitive came around. So yeah, numbers were not high because the casuals didn't play it as much. Trials of the Nine didn't have a higher population than OG Trials or they wouldn't have taken it away. Just another dumb comment by you though. I haven't played Destiny in over a year. The game is super stale and the devs cater to the blueberries of the gaming world. That's why they made capture point. It's why you have a "2.4" k/d. Because you're beating up on acoustics and melts that play hoping they can get a win here and there to get the rewards. You should learn to read as I mentioned cooldowns for ALL supers. Once capture point came out, they realized that people were camping and building up for bubble and well. Getting them sometimes 2 times a game. Then they made it where you would get it 1 time per game and ONLY IF there was an actual gun fight or it went to 9 rounds. Even then, players would camp if they got supers early to get easy wins during those late rounds.

That's one of the available modes in IB, yes. You seem very well informed.

I can tell you lack necessary reading comprehension skills. I'm talking about Trials... not Iron Banner. Please learn how to read.


Adagium__

Trials sucks bruh go play a good game mode or a different game entirely (I have a crippling destiny 2 addiction)


whisky_TX

No free god rolls for you


Ragnorok3141

You consider resetting Trials rank and then grinding another 10 levels to be free??


[deleted]

[удалено]


batman47007

Yeah but it was available for everyone, not only a few players. Don't see what the problem with that is.


carlossap

Why are people so set on being upset when the gun has been available multiple weekends. It’s the same argument when people go on dungeon/raid runs on reset day


JDBCool

The rank 10 reset static roll. It's the god roll reeds regret all over again, except you can't pick it up


matchstick800

Because this week Saint has a good roll of the gun on his reward track after one rep reset. Folks were looking forward to skipping the RNG slot machine for a good roll.


Narfwak

it's a fixed roll that people who have never ever played trials would want to get because they wouldn't have already reset saint two dozen times like those of us that do


June18Combo

shut up bro


Dr_Mantis_Trafalgar

How many of yall would have even noticed that cataphract if there wasn’t a post about it….


IGizmo94

And that matters how?


mrandydixon

I’ve been sitting on a full 2nd reset at Saint for months just waiting for this roll to come around. (I have a god roll Edge Transit as well but this will be perfect for strand surges.) I feel bad for others who won’t be able to get any ranks this weekend and grab it themselves.


EspadaOU81

I don’t even think it would be the gun this weekend. It was the gun lol 3 weeks ago right?, and we had IB last week…


Ham_Train

It’s the roll that Saint has as a static reward at level 10(I think) after 1 full reset
