Trials of Osiris Reward Structure

Trials of Osiris has undergone a lot of changes since its return to us in Destiny 2. The changes have been welcome and well received, for the most part. However, I feel there needs to be an update to the reward structure of the mode. As it stands, it does not feel very rewarding nor do I feel incentivized to remain in the playlist. I won’t touch on lobby balancing which I think is an eternal struggle. Firstly, the amount of reputation earned is predicated on rounds won on your trials passage. This makes progress painstakingly slow for reseting your trials rank with Saint-14 or just even getting the available rewards. Not to mention on the early end of my card if you don’t win any rounds, then you walk away with 0 reputation earned which feels bad especially after being demolished in that previous match. Secondly, actually getting rewards from match completions. I played a number of games over roughly a two hour period and unfortunately I did not win a lot of games. However, for the games I did win, I literally only obtained one rewarded weapon. And certainly, I received no rewards for the losses I accrued. Thirdly, I am not asking for handouts, I just want my time invested to feel like I am getting something out of it. As it stands, there’s nothing keeping me in the playlist. The current structure of the Trials of Persistence passage is not enough (I also feel that needs a bit of a rework, should honestly just be seven wins and not yo-yo with losses but that’s just my hot take - I would suffer through those non-yo-yo seven wins if it meant a guaranteed adept). I know you obtain more rewards as a team, which is fine, I prefer to play solo. At this current model though, I do not feel the incentive to remain within this playlist, or even really to enter it in the first place. As for my final thoughts, I honestly would not be opposed to making Trials no longer just a weekend activity. Similar to how it was in Destiny 1 during House of Wolves, if I remember correctly, it was all week long during that summer. It could still stop during weeks of Iron Banner of course. Although it’s time to also remove light level in Trials. Once again, I know Trials has undergone a lot of changes since its inception. The changes have been good, but I don’t think the changes are enough to keep players like myself invested in this playlist at present.

  • Take it back to requiring flawless for adepts and those who can't get it can pursue non-adepts and forum posts.

        it's really -blam!- bad. rank ups are -blam!-. you get -blam!- all in terms of points after each match if you're on the losing team. it's just a terrible system. then you're also unlikely to get the adept roll you want, anyway.

      • What I hate the most is how you get more seasonal weapons and open world weapons as rewards rather than trials loot. That's my biggest frustration with it. I'll tolerate and grind through cheaters and good players, but you keep giving me shii. I already can get through pve or engrams. Just make trials drops trials loot that's all

      • That's why I don't play trials, I'm already not good and they expect me to lose all day for nothing. Also I found out what trials is years ago, matchmaking purposely put low skill against high skill. Trials isn't competitive, it's a janked up matchmade olive branch for those not good enough in real pvp environments. Non of these guys can make top 10 in casual warzone but they get feed noobs in trials. I would mass report them for carrying for money.
