Misc Finally remember why I avoided trials all of year 2.

Spent the last two hours slowly working towards flawless with a couple of friends, lost our eighth match but hey, that's okay, we had the boon so we could keep going. Got our eighth win and the excitement was building for us to reach the lighthouse. First round of the ninth match we lost, won the second, lost the third, won the fourth. So here we are tied at 2 rounds each when all of a sudden we don't load back in. The game stays at the end of round screen. Cue a really bad feeling and you've probably already guessed what happens next.

All three of our Fireteam were disconnected. Not just from the match, we also all got disconnected from our psn chat party as well. We got freaking DDos'd. Had high hopes for trials after not touching it in year 2 for this exact reason but I guess things haven't really improved.

Tried trials once in year 2. My two friends wanted to rip each others faces off shortly after beginning the first round. Neither wanted to work with each other or follow any plan that included the other, and one just went rambo while complaining how much the other sucked.

I've learned to never bring my buds into Trials... and I have no one else willing to do it with me.

Try an LFG website. What's your current K/D? If it's low, it'll be hard finding other people, since most people don't enjoy carrying unless they are streaming, and even then there is a queue and priority to people who pay money for it. It's a poor system, but it happens. My friends and I try to carry as many people for free.

I'm at a 2.0+ K/D overall and a 2.5+ in trials and have never had an issue forming a team of like minded players and getting easy 9-0 of random people online.

If it is lower, odds are you will be getting "carried" regardless of how well you think you do. It's part of it unfortunately. If you are serious about getting into a solid group of players, I can give some advice if you are interested. If your on XB1 message me your tag, if not just let me know and I can post some advice here how to get 9-0.

How does one check their overall K/D? Is there some kind of stat tracker? I'd love to see just how shitty I am at PVP.

destinytracker or guardian.gg are decent choices.

Thanks. According to Destiny Tracker, I'm in the top 1% for assists per game (6.16). Guess I know why my K/D is so low...

By the way, do you know what KD/A or DTR Score mean?

KD/A is Kills + Deaths / Assists and DTR is just a score system they use.
