In the Trials of Osiris from Destiny 2, something is amiss in Season 13. The PvP endgame was canceled after just one day, even though it had just undergone a forced break. It is said that some are cheating to get their hands on the new hot loot. This was something some streamers had already anticipated.
Where are the Trials? Were you looking forward to sweating in the Trials of Osiris or watching your favorite streamers? Well, that won’t happen. Bungie has canceled the Trials.
The Destiny developer announced this in the evening hours of March 13 – precisely one day after the start of the activity (via Twitter).
- If you now start the mode that you can still select from orbit, you will simply be back in orbit after 3 seconds.
- On Twitter, it is only mentioned that “a bug with the function to rejoin the fireteam” has led to this.
This is so annoying: The Trials just returned this week along with Xur’s visit after a “forced break.” Here MeinMMO reported on the last cancellation of the Trials. Having to give up just one day after their return is bitter – for Bungie and the Guardians.
Anyone who is an enthusiastic PvP Guardian has felt neglected by Bungie for some time:
- This led to a small rebellion just before Season 13.
- In the Crucible, players have been waiting for new maps for over a year.
- The Stasis classes have turned PvP into a nightmare for many – but this is to be resolved with major balance adjustments on March 23.
Season 13 has now brought fresh loot to the Trials and made the PvP mode interesting for many. The armors look really good – players agree, and the new weapons are among the best currently available in the inventory.
This week, everyone could have earned the new gloves just for “dying through” and, with luck, the coveted revolver after 5 wins.
The mode is available every Friday, and players have until Tuesday to reach the Lighthouse by achieving 7 victories. If you take 3 losses on a ticket, the game starts again. Exclusive loot entices and attracts the best PvP Guardians.
Streamers have predicted that the cancellation would come
What is causing problems now? Like the last time, it is said that the current cancellation is due to win trading. It involves a secret shadow society that hides behind a Häkke emblem and coin tosses that determine the winner.
- Players are said to be able to obtain the coveted Trials loot without much effort and without a single kill.
- It was mentioned last time according to Destinytracker (via Twitter), that 50% of the Lighthouse visits on PC were from such win traders.
Just before the current cancellation of the Trials on March 13, streamers like Luckyy 10P said that the problem was not resolved. Worse, dishonest players might even win trade even more easily now. And this is due to the bug while joining the fireteam, which Bungie has also reported.
Here is the video about it:
Interestingly, Luckyy 10P is facing a lot of backlash for exposing win trading. Some users believe he – and others who talk about this shadow society – are responsible for the cancellation of the Trials.
The Trials are making a “not half-baked” return to Destiny 2…
The tragic story of the Trials: Years ago, the Trials were all the rage in Destiny. Here, Guardians could compete against each other, and the best players built a large fanbase. Even the later Fortnite disruptor and Twitch titan Tfue started with Crota and Trials.
When Destiny 2 launched in 2017, things went downhill for the Trials. After a reorientation and renaming to the Trials of the Nine, the mode had to take a year-long hibernation.
With much fanfare, the Trials celebrated their return in early 2020. Now called Trials of Osiris again, it was all supposed to be as good as before and even better. Bungie promised in a video (via Twitter) that the Trials would not come back half-baked: “We don’t want Trials to come out half baked”.
- However, the return was not completely successful, and there was constant trouble, with the expected success remained elusive.
- In Season 12 and with the release of the last major expansion Beyond Light, the mode had to pause again for a long time due to bugs.
- With Season 13 came the new and attractive loot that everyone wants, but which can’t be obtained due to the now second cancellation.
The quote about the not half-baked return is constantly thrown back at Bungie. Do you think the Guardians’ mockery is justified or do you feel sorry that the return of the Trials isn’t working out?
Are you also eager for the new loot, have you already organized a strong fireteam, or just wanted to “die through” and are now upset about the cancellation? Let us know in the comments.
