*has a minute silence for the ale we lost that day*

Wrong. My blasters dont. My scrappers dont. My corruptors dont. Sure i could go and change my builds to get the epics that'ld include a mez but they dont suit my characters.

Maybe a bit of sarcasm but surely all the points i made about the other TFs/trials are valid yes? Arent all the points i brought up from those taskforces more difficult than the current trial mechanics in some form or another?

So in other words like other taskforces ingame currently that requires players to use powers, such as Khan tf?

We discussed the issues of the high attack he does in the other thread, but repetitive i dont agree with. There are multiple teams within that trial, if your league decides to go everybody inside then yes it will be repetitive, not the trials fault . . . its the leagues tactics fault if repetitive 3 different TPN runs in the last week, i was twice on the ST tele team and once on the inside team.
If anything, Keyes is the most repetitive trial of them all.

Examples please? The devs stated before making all these trials that they wanted to make them to make players use powers that were previously hardly used. How many times pre-trials did you see a granite tank? Almost every team. Now we have tanks of all varieties all over the place due to the [as an example] psi attacks that this trial does.
Im mentioning psi damage because i remember people complaining that a trial has a damage which a lot of ATs have little/no resistance too, which by itself i find laughable because its almost like you want purely smash/lethal because it'ld be the easiest to resis. There are powersets from buffers that'ld help this too remember . . . . not to mention debuffers.


Its a good feature imo, ran it 4/5 times on a league that was to try and complete it [not including the leagues where we were +0/+1s to test] and on none of them did we even get to 1/4 of the deaths allowed, infact most of them were 0 deaths.
There arent any tough enemies to face during that round so as long as the league has any sort of construction to it, it'll be a walkthrough that stage. [A lot of us said that was the easiest bit of all the trials]

Isnt this what your doing though? Your basically saying X is broken because of all these experiences i've had. Which is fair enough, we're all saying its not nowhere near as broken as you say it is because of OUR experiences.

Because of examples like i gave earlier with a poster being against the DD trial without actually running it. It instantly creates a bad vibe towards a trial which is downright wrong when they havent even run it.
If you run a trial and dont like it then fine, more power to you. I myself cant stand the UG trial and always say it, what us trialers [we are a cliche now! xD] do expect though is for people NOT to go around bad mouthing things with zero evidence apart from word of mouth.
With the "isnt that bad because i say so" , i've actually gone on to other servers and in that thread in beta there was a pretty good discusion stating about how varied tactics are on all servers. Even as a basic trial the baf, that had so many different tactics on each server.

Great that those kind of threads do make positive changes, but there is a very fine line between what everybody is asking for.
People like myself are asking that there are indeed easy/medium and hard trials to suit all players needs, which is what we now have. But the vibe that is constantly being shown from the same posters is "we only want baf/lam level difficulty trials", because thats what the amount of nerfs people against the trials are calling for

Threads which you made [like the one in the beta forum] where constructive feedback/improvements are suggested are great, you'll hardly see anybody be so much against you. But say your a new/unsub'd player looking at a random thread like this, they'ld look at all these anti-trial posts and be put off it wouldnt they?

The answer is . . . a lot

Thats the way i see it too, just an increase percentage in getting a rare/v.rare, doesnt mean you'll get them a lot but it does mean you'll get them more than often and Snow Globes results proove that indeed while still less than the others, the numbers are higher than what they'ld be in say a baf/lam.

Interesting . . . . so they knew Galaxy City would be destroyed so they decided to build another base beforehand . . . .

Then they also just happen to be there at the scene when it gets destroyed . . . . . hmmmm

Phalanx are working with the coming storm!

Well . . . he dead . . .

ALL TFs/Trials in the game [with the exception of the CoP] are added to the TuT, also you can now use it while inside a mission so you can simply Que up for the selected TFs/Trials you wish to take part in and carry on as usual.

Not everything is designed to be PUGable. Majority of content ingame is able to be completed by a PUG, some parts arent.
This same rule applies to iTrials. Most of them can be completed by a PUG, two cannot and need some form of preperation beforehand.

[Also the TuT is far more useful now in i22 in its new state]

B - Theres a badge involved that some of my alts just cant get!

Does nobody read patch notes anymore?

I know, I helped a few times in testing out a 50+0 league on it

The main problem people had with it was that it got introduced to the player as a mission after the DA arcs had finished, which meant that people/new incarnates would NOT be +3.
They removed the mission, everybody happy, no problem now. A league with a mixture of +1/2/3's could do this.

Honest question then. If you wont even give DD trial a chance, why voice your opinion against it with no experience? This is one of my biggest gripes with people posting anti-trial experience when they [in your own words] arent even giving newer trials the chance.

DD is by far seen as a baf level +3. In fact i'ld go as far as saying its even easier than baf with much better rewards.

For a +3 Trial, DD is the easiest trial of them all

I was on that baf i think If its the one where my ice/cold corruptor Mr Damz was on anyway

Edit: Though from what i saw, that baf i was on had almost no deaths i think and no prisoners escaped too so was a very smooth run imo

Personally i only ever use lvl 50 enhancements once im sorting out my final build.
Having them at the level 25 - 35 range simply means that for the majority of the content ingame you'll be keeping all your set bonuses. To me this doesnt bother me.
Why? Well simply because while i level up i dont have these bonuses anyway and did just fine, now i have increased numbers per power [because all level 50 enhancements] so my performance level would be greater than when i was at that level anyway.
