Big article about Crucible updates. I’ve been out of Crucible since before The Final Shape so IDK how to assess any of this info.

The TL;DR for Trials is that it’s moving away from going flawless to get to the lighthouse and instead rewarding Adepts on drop chances that increase if you keep up a streak.

Looks like we’re getting some new and returning guns for all Crucible modes but I’ll look at those when they actually come out in the next episode.

This is nice and all but Crucible changes is not what this game needs to get people back into it.

    I feel like crucible changes are just too late at this point. So many people have quit that matchmaking is terrible because there are not enough people for it to be competent any more. Unless you are an ultrasweat, you will get farmed. Even playlists that used to be reasonably okay (control and banana) have gotten top heavy. Nothing describes the current experience more than a 10 minute wait in matchmaking followed by one team putting up 3.0+ KDs against a team of sub 1.0s. It really likes to put the best players all on the same team.

    Crucible is really the majority of my D2 time. I have gilded Iron Lord every time. I haven’t played Trials or Comp in years. They have never been fun. At this point, when I see that the twab is about trials or comp, I don’t even bother reading it because I have no faith that they can be fixed.
