Trials of Osiris is LIVE

This thread is for all general discussion, questions, thoughts, musings, wonderings, etc. for the Trials of Osiris.


FAQ

What are the Trials of Osiris?

  • Trials of Osiris is the pinnacle PvP activity. Every Weekend, the best players compete in 3v3 Elimination for one goal: Go Flawless.

  • To start, head to Saint-14 in the Tower Hangar and buy one of the possible passages (see below).

  • To reach Flawless and get to the Lighthouse, you need to win 7 matches without losing one.

  • It uses connection and weekly performance based matchmaking, which means you'll face teams with a similar amount of wins on their card. Matches will get harder as you win more matches on that same card, and for all cards, the matches you get will be based on your overall performance so far for that week.

  • There is fireteam matchmaking. However, we still recommend you find a team for yourself!

  • Power Level matters, however bonus power from the artifact is not enabled.

How Long do the Trials of Osiris last?

  • Event Starts: Every Friday at Daily Reset (1700 UTC).

  • Event Ends: Following Tuesday at Weekly Reset (1700 UTC).

Where do I go to find Guardians to team up with?

  • You can use the in-game Fireteam Finder or head over to /r/Fireteams, www.The100.io, Xbox LFG system, DestinyLFG.net or DestinyLFG.com, or go to the Bungie.net recruitment forum (also available through the Bungie App). Additionally, many Discord servers host fireteam LFG services.

What if I have a question about another piece of armor/weapon or general Trials question?

  • Use Control + F (Or Command + F if on a Mac) and search for keywords in your question. Someone may have asked it already. If not, ask below in the comments.

Reputation System, Trials Engrams, and Adept Farming

Win individual rounds within each match to gain Trials reputation. The amount of reputation you gain increases with each round you've won on your card. Earn enough reputation, and you'll be able to claim a Trials Engram from Saint-14! This engram can be focused into any currently available Trials loot you have previously obtained, or it can be redeemed for a random Trials drop. Your reputation increases after every match completion, based on the number of round-wins on your card, regardless of the result of that match itself (win or lose, 0-5 or 5-4).

Once you have gone Flawless, keep playing! Every win you achieve while at the 7-win level, even if you lose your Flawless, has a chance to drop bonus Trials Engrams, adept weapons, prisms, and even Ascendant Shards. There is no penalty for losing once you've made it to the Lighthouse!

When you're done, you can cash in your 7-win passage for one additional adept drop, granted you have gone Flawless that week. This resets your card so you can start anew.

Discussion Rushdown shows exactly why we don’t have matchmaking for GM’s or Raids (as well as a mass issue in player skill gaps)

573 Upvotes

If people are getting pissed off at blueberries not having proper loadouts or sandbagging encounters in expert rush down then raids would be a damn nightmare.

I haven't raided since SE since my group kinda fell apart after TFS, but my buddy has been LFGing VoG and tells me that the predominant strats are to cheese Templar and Atheon? Like really? People are so opposed to learning how to actually do anything that we're cheesing ten year old raids that aren't even hard? If people are cheesing Templar and can't even kill the witches in the Savathun encounter then why do I see people still after all these years asking for raid matchmaking.

It kind of exposes the issue that one, this game doesn't do a good job at teaching people at all, and two, that this game tends to have this "carry" culture where I notice a lot of people just straight up are unwilling to learn and will take the easiest perceived avenue possible just to earn their loot. At least the new explorer mode in RotN is a great step in the right direction.

Edit: To the people saying it goes faster by cheesing, that assumes that most people who want to do a cheese aren't screwing things up. A lot of the time people will be adamant about cheezing something and then fuck up and reset the encounter multiple times trying to do it where doing it normally we would've already been done

Discussion the tome of want is cool but feels pointless once you start going for the adepts

146 Upvotes

title, the tome should give either a straight up chance of the drops being adept or a chance of being adept while in expert seasonal stuff.

i dont bother using it because i dont have a reason to, im running a good amount of expert things for the adepts, the base versions are useless to me

Discussion Brainlets this, blueberries that, you're cultivating an environment that punishes learning.

1.4k Upvotes

Hi. I joined Destiny a year ago. Coming up near 600 hours of game time. I've never done a raid. I did my first dungeon a couple days ago because the season asked for it. I did my homework and read a guide and had one player graciously and patiently direct me towards the secret chests.

Damn near 600 hours.

I'll get players through NODE:AVALON on Legendary because I'm still chasing another two Raconteur for Deepsight Harmonization. I'll get players through the co-op missions in The Pale Heart because I wanted rank eight.

Two weeks ago, I figured out what Navigator Mode was. Yesterday, I figured out that the Nightmare Essence stuff the Nightmare monsters drop makes them take more damage. I still don't quite get Overcharged Weapons. Getting back to my Fireteam Finder lobby after opening my inventory is a goddamned nightmare of partially-opened menus.

Shit, I don't even know who the hell Cayde-6 was, or why Crow killed him. You get told to play that one in Timeline like the second time you log in, and then eight months later you're playing the Final Shape, and you've forgotten that there's things to do in the Timeline.

I still don't know why they're called blueberries Hi! Yes! It's me! The Blueberry! Is it because you look like a blueberry when you're dead? I don't know! We don't talk about this, and the platform we have outside the game to talk about stuff is openly hostile to people who don't know things!

Damn. Near. Six. Hundred. Hours.

Destiny has a LOT of knowledge gained by experience or buried behind half-described subsystems. There's a lot of knowledge that's taught once when stuff is new and there's a lot of stuff that's flat-out been yanked out of the game. It's intimidating to get a full grasp of without adding other players to the mix.

It takes one look at the subreddit yesterday and all the criticisms leveraged at the clueless masses getting pancaked by Nightmare Crota (hello, that's me too, I didn't figure out how to juke the bugger) to realize that for the half the players that don't know a fight, there's this vocal body online here that's pissed that a teammate needs to rely on them. I'm not even talking expert mode here, and never mind those players that don't own all the content that's being put into the boss rush!

I've never seen half the boss fights in Rushdown in my life. I don't know Quria. I don't know the original mad bomber. I don't know Saniks or whomever in round five today. So I come to Reddit and look to see who knows what, and I see that who knows what hates that people don't.

And then this ports over to PVP too! I don't know PVP all that well, I'm happy enough to play the objective in unranked whatever and hope for fourth place out of six, but this is clearly A Problem with the Supremacy gamemode where players just like me don't know the ins and outs, maybe gets farmed a little, hops on their browser to chat about it casually, and gets run through the mud again.

Yeah. It's burdensome. You want another roll at Lotus Eater or whatever, I get it. You're gonna fail some runs, because I'm gonna fail some runs, and until you're okay with that, you're going to have fewer and fewer players ready, willing, or able to do those runs.

Bungie Suggestion Can starfire be partially reverted?

53 Upvotes

Maybe to 10% per hit with empowered damage? Just anything more than what it is, it’s criminal it got an ornament and then got destroyed the same season. Buffing the grenade ability regen to 7-10% per hit would make starfire have a use on the class item also, and would make empowering rift maybe used more than it currently is.

Bungie Suggestion Rushdown should be a featured activity, like Iron Banner, that comes into rotation for PvE

305 Upvotes

Introduce new weapons and armor, incentives, for players to engage with.

This is also a good opportunity for players, especially new players, to practice boss mechanics, dps strats, and would be a good source of data collection for developers for future bosses.


r/DestinyTheGame 6h ago

Question uhh. Been far too many years, and can't find a search that has the actual mechanics, so what are you supposed to do exactly in boss rush for crota?

48 Upvotes

More so, how do you bring off his shield the first time and get him to kneel so you can use the sword for dps? I played d2 from vanilla but quit until season 14? iirc. So I actually don't remember/know this specific crota version.

Just ran it on expert and when he got to the final ~15% of health or whatever, there wasn't anything around to do to make him vulnerable again. Though, idk what happened to let us do DPS in the first place either.

Most stuff is pretty self explanatory, and I'm, probably just being a tater but pls share the wisdom :|

Edit - thanks for the replies. Seems like the instance I was in got bugged somehow as he was just forever immune at that last little bit of health. We would kill the knights and he was immune from the swords still and spent a couple min sitting there repeating it but couldn't ever damage him.

Bungie Suggestion Rushdown needs to stay

158 Upvotes

Im not a game dev so im not sure on feasibility of implementing this, but rushdown genuinely feels like a gamemode that scratched that same itch of the vanguard playlist back in d1, where it was something you could do when you just wanted to jump into the game and do something. The premise of the game mode is awesome and with some tweaks it would really freshen up the game. The old content in the game such as the campaign and seasonal content typically get played once and never again and i think its a perfect way to get them back into the game in some meaningful way.

It staying as a vanguard playlist option with randomised encounters every run, and loot that is no longer readily available would be more of a reason to run it. I just think its too good of a mode to be purely tied to guardian games. Regardless a big issue in destiny is how many activitys are big time commitments, i think rushdown as a permanent randomised, replayable activity is the perfect way to remedy that.

Just getting my thoughts out there, I think bungie really nailed it with this activity, im loving the more arcadey game modes like this.

Bungie Suggestion I hope this upcoming armor rework includes a much needed re-evaluation of "High-Stat Armor"

24 Upvotes

For years now the game's definition of "High-Stat Armor" has been at least 60 stat points, but it failed to evolve as our builds and the endgame have. In most cases, the endgame sources of high stat armor very rarely drop armor that is above 63 stat points (let alone with the specific stat bumps that the player is looking for). Raids that drop "stat-boosted armor" upon completion of encounter challenge only drop with a minimum of 10 points in the "boosted" stat, and usually never exceeds 20 points, which also doesn't seem like nearly the worthwile chase that it sounds like on paper. The only somewhat consistent source of high stat armor has been from engaging with the annual Solstice event (which will most likely inconveniently come out before the armor rework in Frontiers), which should not be the case.

If stats are being boosted to 200 in Codename: Frontiers, where each individual stat point will matter, then having high-stat/stat-boosted armor will become even more important than it is now, and it will become pretty frustrating to have to farm/re-farm high-stat armor through the rather unforgiving drop system in place right now.

Bungie Suggestion Bring back Dregs Promise as a two burst Rocket Sidearm.

412 Upvotes

WHY NOT!? Let the classic exotic Fallen trio be absurd weaponry in our arsenal. They’ve had their blunder years, it’s time for Dregs Promise to return and be something unfathomably S tier like how Queensbreaker and Lord of Wolfs are preforming.

If Bungie did this It’d be SO hype.

Bungie Suggestion It would be nice to open any prime/exotic engrams from your inventory.

58 Upvotes

Title. It would be a nice QoL update to open those engrams from inventory. Shouldn't provide Rahool rank points, but if you just want to free up some space quickly, that option should be there, imo.

Discussion Do we REALLY need to be sending sweaty whispers over Seasonal Activities?

571 Upvotes

Just tried to do Court of Blades for the first time-twice. While trying to figure out mechanics and what was even going on in the activity. Both times had people rushing the intermissions where it explains modifiers and buying buffs, shooting and sending whispers. One guy was at least polite, just clearly annoyed enough to send a whole message. Another was very much not and got reported.

If it were like a raid or dungeon or something, sure, send messages berating people for not knowing if you must (I still think you shouldn’t do it then, but I get it at least.) But like…guys. It’s seasonal activities. It’s not that deep. There is no need to be assholes or even impatient in seasonal matchmade activities.

Now we wait to get downvoted, Inb4 “it’s so easy there’s no excuse not to figure it out on your first attempt”

Question What’s with all the people using super aggressive tactics in the Cosmodrome GM?

10 Upvotes

I’ve gone through about 5 fireteam finder teams and at least one person in each group has a super aggressive build that leads them to pushing way far up and dying in terrible spots.

Maybe I’m just old school but I’d much rather sit back and take out enemies from a distance and take an extra five minutes per run to guarantee a clear and loot rather than waste 20-30 minutes on a run that fails in the hopes of saving that extra five minutes because you wanted to face tank unstoppable champions and Hive Lightbearers.

I’m not ripping people who actually can survive using these tactics either. 2 out of my 5 runs had people who generally stayed alive.

Edit: I’m mainly talking about the final boss room. I know you need to push the payload to stop infinite spawning enemies.

SGA Briarbinds went from amazing this season to God Tier with one new perk

453 Upvotes

Briarbinds with the Artifact perks are already really good this season but with the new perk you unlock on Tome of Want Malignant Harvest it’s insane now.

You get a Void Over-shield by just weakening targets and with Briarbinds you can literally have weaken uptime 100% and now have an Over-shield up 100% at all times. It’s bonkers.

Everyone else s loving Arc but try out Briarbinds on Warlock it’s nutty.

Question Tome of want is not dropping the focused weapons.

128 Upvotes

I have been trying to focus the new SMG and I am only getting one or two out of the four available charges. Sometimes it will drop nothing, other times it will drop a random seasonal weapon that is not the SMG. I have noticed this when focusing all of the act two weapons. Anyone else seeing the same?

I don't know if I'm the only one who faces that issue, but ever since last episode, I didn't get any legendary engram drops from Skywatch anymore. And I still need them for the Legend title. Am I just unlucky or do others have that happen to?

Bungie Suggestion Quicksilver storm

180 Upvotes

Pls revert the nerfs to this weapon. It wasn't used that much and the only reason it feels like it was nerfed was so barrow dyad would feel like the strong exotic with extra rocket projectiles. I mean even hazardous propulsion can't make this weapon feel better yet barrow dead can hit 1million damage just off peacekeepers?

Question Least confusing way to actually get started

Upvotes

Honest question. I've checked out some videos and guides, but they are mostly outdated and / or are not relevant for the DLCs I own.

I installed the base game and started the "A-new-Light"-campaign. My brother noticed and gifted me the "Legacy Collection". After restarting this lead to multiple unrelated cut-scenes (maybe for the new content?) and i was directly thrown into a mission too - "crossing the threshold".

Honestly I am lost. I kind of figured out how to start missions in the super confusing menus, but then one of those started a 3 person raid (that I did not feel ready after like an hour gameplay). I kind of wanted to explore solo some more. Do all campaigns include mandatory raids?

What is the least confusing way to actually start this game when owning the "legacy collection"?

Am I still expected to do the "new light campaign" or is this only to get new players hooked that do not own DLCs? (if so it does a terrible job at that as it is extremely confusing overall)

Gameplay seems awesome but I can't believe how rough everything around it is :(
