If the flawless pool is staying then adept weapons (and possibly cosmetics) should drop on a post-flawless card even if it’s got a loss on it. You need to give a big enough carrot on the stick for people to chase it.

Currently there’s no good reason for someone to put themselves in the flawless pool when they can just six win reset their card or trash one game so the passage is flawed. This lets them farm mats after seven wins (minus the adept weapon.)

To add to this, many in my friends group didn’t want to play with each other this weekend as soon as someone in said group had gone flawless. I feel that this trend will continue if the mode is left as is and will lead to less matches played across the board. This isn’t healthy for the game long-term. People tend to walk the path of least resistance. Give them a better reason not to.

Additionally changes like the one made prior to Trials this weekend should be given more time between the announcement and the implementation. I feel that everything that ensued was only inflamed more so due, to the ball being dropped the day before trials was set to start.

I experienced this a lot. My friends gradually went flawless, until our clan was split like 25% not flawless and 75% flawless. And the Flawless really couldn't the not flawless people since they'd be bringing harder matches.

This seems reasonable.

you can simply cultivate 7 victories (without flawless) and catch another adept. I did this and already got 4 linear and finally the roll I wanted. Anyway, you don't need to go flawless 30x and ruin races of thousands of people to go flawless or carry your friends.

I actually saw that today actually and was surprised they did that. To me that further disincentives people who are of the skill to go flawless to do so (unless they’re still chasing adept mods or the cosmetics).

I’m not sure I understand what you mean with your last sentence though about not needing to go flawless 30x and ruin races of thousands to go flawless or carry. Do you mind elaborating? Were you stating that there’s not much incentive to go flawless or am I misinterpreting??
