Saying that Trials has had a shaky few years in Destiny 2 would be an understatement. From countless bugs and exploits to numerous delays, Trials was in a constant state of rebuilding up until Season 15. Although it may have been long overdue, the latest overhaul appears to have finally ticked all the boxes for Destiny\u2019s most competitive Guardians. With new matchmaking adjustments, a reworked reward structure, and changes to the flawless system, Trials is now hotter than it\u2019s been in recent years. This week at Bungie, we revamp Trials of Osiris. \ud83d\udca0 https:\/\/t.co\/gSyIoc5zNe pic.twitter.com\/npzj7HQjHk \u2014 Bungie (@Bungie) September 9, 2021 Stats from DestinyTrialsReport and Bungie\u2019s own blog reveal that flawless runs through Trials were more prominent than usual. Of the 701,812 Guardians that dipped their toes in the most recent instance of Trials, 255,908 of them went flawless. In separating already flawless players from those without Lighthouse stamps in their Guardian passports, Bungie has drastically improved accessibility for the competitive mode. Now, Trials allows \u201cmid-skills players\u201d to find more success, as they\u2019re matched against others of relative skill. Moreover, the infamous Trials win-trading scheme is officially a thing of the past as well. No longer are Guardians resorting to matching emblems to bounce around free wins for a flawless run. A vast majority of players that reached the Lighthouse this week did so legitimately, actually getting kills and wins on their way to glory. All of these changes have contributed to a smooth Trials experience, something fans have been clamoring for since Destiny 2 overhauled the fan-favorite mode to Trials of the Nine back in 2017. \u201cI\u2019m loving that Bungie is keeping the momentum on trying to make Trials the best experience possible\u201d Reddit user \u2018Acer1096xxx\u2019 said. There\u2019s also no signs of new improvements slowing down anytime soon. Bungie has already laid the groundwork for the next few weeks, with incremental changes coming into effect shortly. Namely, Week 3 will see the Flawless Pool enabled on Sunday, giving players more of a middle ground to keep the difficulty intact. \u201cDelaying \u2018Flawless Pool\u2019 until Sunday is a good move,\u201d \u2018RiseOfBacon\u2019 chimed in. \u201cIt still allows that freedom for all types of players and farming for those who dive right in. Good to see a quick turn around on the changes for Trials, hope it keeps the momentum.\u201d Evidently, the community is stoked not only with the new incarnation of Trials, but also with Bungie\u2019s open communication.
