The Trials of Osiris, a Crucible event in Destiny, begins today. The event was previously delayed to October 30 due to an unforeseen exploit relating to the Hunter's Nightstalker subclass that allowed them to use their super indefinitely.
The Trials of Osiris is a 3v3 Crucible tournament that pits pre-made teams against each other. Those that do well and go on winning streaks will be invited to the Lighthouse, where they will receive ample rewards for their activities. Here's the loot table.
The event will begin at 10 AM PDT / 1PM EDT on October 30.
Much like the Iron Banner event, The Trials of Osiris was previously held last year and takes player equipment into account, including light levels. A number of changes have been outlined for the new Trials since the release of The Taken King.
Here are the major changes, as revealed by Bungie:
-
Requires a minimum Character Level of 40
-
Requires a minimum Light of 251; Recommended Light is 290
-
Winning teams now receive Trials gear rewards directly at the end-of-match completion
-
Players that go undefeated on their Passage will continue to be invited to The Lighthouse
-
Players may continue to play in the Trials past 9 wins (but rewards are maxed out at 9 wins)
-
Trials Passages now have a Details page containing your Boons
-
Player must now purchase Boons from the Details page on their Passage instead of from Brother Vance
-
Boons can no longer be applied to Trials passages after starting a run
-
-
Trials gear can be purchased from Brother Vance (including some items found at the Lighthouse)
-
Brother Vance now has Bounties that award Legendary Marks
-
Crucible Bounties can now also be completed in Trials of Osiris
-
Matchmaking has been updated to make it more competitive to reach The Lighthouse
Due to these changes, players can expect fiercer competition as they go up against similar teams on high winning streaks.
"With the changes we've made to matchmaking, there will be a greater chance that the other team will be on the same rung as the ladder as you, making your climb to 9-0 much more meaningful, and those last few matches much more fun for everyone," said senior designer Derek Carroll. "Well, almost everyone. Half of everyone?"
"With greater risk will come even greater reward. For those of you who can go the distance, we'll be dropping endgame gear that will rival the Light of those Guardians who have been defeating Oryx in King's Fall Hard Mode. Because we're dropping the gear into the end-of-match stream, you'll be able to lord your rewards over the losing team."
