Trials of Osiris | Guardians Face Toughest Weekend Yet
Trials of Osiris is underway this weekend, drawing mixed reactions from the community. Many are questioning if it’s worth participating due to low engagement and dominating weapons impacting competitiveness.
Event Remains Popular, but
The event kicked off Friday at 5 PM UTC, typically a time when players look to go Flawless and earn exclusive rewards. Yet, reviews from the community indicate decreased participation. "I’ve never seen it this low a couple of hours after reset," remarked one player, highlighting dwindling numbers.
Tough Competition Ahead
Despite some success, the sentiment around matches is negative for many. The seasonal challenge fulfilled doesn’t equate to an enjoyable experience for players, as noted in several comments. One player expressed:
"Unless you really REALLY want that rocket and you’re a pretty good player, I recommend not playing Trials this weekend.”
This echoes the hesitancy felt by others to engage amidst tough opposing stacks, particularly those labeled as ‘sweatlords’.
Weapon Concerns
Significant complaints about weapon balance emerged, specifically regarding the Redrix. Feedback from players suggests it has become overly dominant. One user stated,
"The team firing with Redrix is bananas right now. Peek for an instant and you get annihilated in like .2 seconds."
Such dynamics are driving many players to abandon Trials in favor of activities like Nightfalls, where they feel more competitive.
Key Insights
⚠️ Population Drop: Reports indicate player count might be the lowest since the rework.
💥 Weapon Dominance: Redrix and others receiving backlash for their overwhelming performance in PvP.
✨ More Fun Elsewhere: Many players are opting for Nightfall grinding over Trials, citing better enjoyment.
Moving Forward: Will It Get Better?
As Guardians gear up for the remainder of the weekend, the question looms: How will the developers address these emerging issues? Without player engagement, the iconic event risks losing its majority appeal. As it stands, players weigh the struggle against the rewards, navigating a challenging Trials of Osiris experience.
