Not to worry man, Lighthouse pro Chimp is ready to carry!

I still havent gone to the lighthouse

I'm up for it Chimp. I got the Inward Lamp on my Titan on Friday. The RoF with full auto and fitted stock is almost too much to deal with. The thing fires faster than I can aim at heads!

Any of the PS4 lads on for a few games of Trials tonight?
I'll be online tonight at about 10.

Massive thanks to AdamD for dragging me through Trials, went on my first trip to the Lighthouse!

Saw that, congrats. Who wins the Doyler lottery next time out?

Sniper fest again, not my forte by any stretch.

reflection sum I believe is the gun, and widows court is the map

I'd say I could manage 7 wins alright (with losses).... the Lighthouse on the other hand, given I cannot sniper, I don't get my hopes up

Will check in with the salt mine later so and see what the gun is. Hopefully it's not the HC

Is the gun you get at 7 Wins a guaranteed one? If so, is there a rotation? Like remember when everyone farmed the Auto Rifle, was that cause it was guaranteed to drop at 7 wins? If so, what gun will drop this week? Cause if it's a f**king Water Pistol I ain't fussed

It's guaranteed and on rotation, you'd find it on reddit somewhere. You also can get the guns from the gold package and are guaranteed a random one from the lighthouse so can get the auto even if it's not on rotation. Guns definitely drop more than armour from the gold package

May play tonight, map depending, if anyone's game.

Starts off quiet, but ends in a flurry!

What's not shown there is, we were in a party with these lads and they were talking some serious sh!t up until the Nova bomb - so that made it extra sweet.

They were fairly highly ranked players (and they kept telling us that) and AdamD 1 v 3'd them twice in that game.

Cheers for the games AdamD

Finally played some games with Chimp, we were in Elimination and the opposing team invited us to their party, was kinda funny for a few games. They got rather salty after this though :pac:

Just as a comparison - I've checked my Trials stats for last week and yours for this week and we were pretty much matched K/D wise. I think this is the first week I've gone positive in Trials.

What's the best site for looking at clear stats of Trials? I've been to a few and they seem cluttered. Last week I felt I could hold my own better Burning Shrine, CQC suits me rather than sniping lanes on Asylum (I'm a terror for sticking my head out "just to check")

Saw a video of a youtuber carrying a six year old through trials recently. Meh, if he wanted a real challenge he could have tried carrying me some Saturday afternoon.

True Vanguard - Nevelator was talking about it too, just watching it now. It hilarious.

I'd love to get in and try Trials but would feel that I'd be letting the side down as I wouldn't be confidant enough. I am also trying to "git gud" playing some rumble but matches can be hit and miss for me.

There's a few lads in the clan looking to do Trials only to complete the bounties. You could easily join up with one of those teams and get a bit of experience.
It'd be far more relaxed than the more serious runs.

In my defence, I'm finding my feet in Trials having never played before, as Dudeeile says in OP, I'm finding my sense of adventure ;-),

On the whole - you didn't do too bad, you weren't giving away silly deaths, stuck with the pack, played well to the strategy, and did pretty well in all of the other games. That's 90% of the battle with Trials (IMO).

Just as a comparison - I've checked my Trials stats for last week and yours for this week and we were pretty much matched K/D wise. I think this is the first week I've gone positive in Trials.

I'm pretty sure if we get some regular Trials teams going, have a bit more practice together, we'll get there.

Saw this as well. The strimmer RealKraffy brought a 7 YO through previously. Great craic altogether.

There's not many people available for Trials - so experience levels on all sides are low enough (myself included). There's a few of us who get together each weekend to give it a run but we're still finding our legs.

It definitely took us about 5 or 6 games just to get our tactics down.
For my own part, I've been playing a good bit of Rumble the past few weeks, concentrating on scoring kills and not giving away deaths - which I'm seeing the benefits of now.

That being said - we lost a couple of stupid games, I can think of 2 cases where we were stomping the opposing team and they came back from 4-2 to win.

Would need to get in with a team who aren't too pushed on getting to the lighthouse, but this is difficult.

I'm gonna keep on with Rumble and hopefully my game will improve enough to allow me into Trials.

Ahem.... There MAY have been 2 matches in a row where I scored no kills whatsoever :-(
In my defence, I'm finding my feet in Trials having never played before, as Dudeeile says in OP, I'm finding my sense of adventure ;-), I'm more casual at the minute as I run for bounties, and also I BLOODY HATE ASSYLUM!!

Edit: Also I'm primarily running to get the Doctrine, secondly for the Inward Lamp.

That's a very low w/l compared to k/d. Were you team mates letting you down or were you just not converting kills to wins?

This weeks Trials stats:

Wins|Games|Kills|Assists|Deaths|K/d|Ka/d|Victory
5|13|89|20|68|1.31|1.60|38.46%

Not too bad on the K/D ratio, definitely seeing an improvement but still need to see an improvement in the Victory column

Anyone up for a few casual rounds of Trials later? Assylum is a horrible map if that helps to sell it??

I'll be on Xbox just looking to do the bounties if anyone's on
