Completely stuck on Trials of Osiris best I've managed with mates is 6 wins but since that most have gone on to other games and the rest are pretty much PVE gamers. So not been in Osiris for several weeks, I would love to see the lighthouse just once mainly for the grimoire points and to just see it in person.

I'm not the best PVP player by any means but my KD is positive for all three characters so would say I'm just above average.

Looking for a couple of kind crazy good PVPers that could help me out if possible please, Sunday or Monday are my best days as could be online any time required.

Oh I'm on Playstation 4 for Destiny btw.

a bit like someone who isn't good at say rowing asking 2 professional rowers help him win a rowing event.

there are people out there that will do this for you if you pay them.

IMO that is your best bet unless someone is kind enough to carry you but I imagine 99% of people wouldn't especially if they don't know you.

I have managed to carry people to 7 wins but never a 9-0. I've been to the lighthouse a couple of times now and tbh it's nothing special.

There are some streamers willing to carry people who sub to their channel and up vote them and stuff too.
 
Can hold my own in PVP just my mates that liked PVP have all pretty much quit and moved on to other games, like I said I don't claim to be anywhere near the best but I am above average.


Kills 10,279 #113,326 Top 19%
Assists 3,627 #84,030 Top 14%
Deaths 7,542 #149,062 Top 25%
K/D 1.36 #91,970 Top 16%
Win % 43% #382,243 Top 64%

It's my wins that are letting me down but I'm not the only player on any team, that's why I could use some help from some PVP guys.

Take your stats for example:

Kills 8,154 #153,058 Top 26%
Assists 2,672 #136,859 Top 23%
Deaths 7,712 #144,501 Top 24%
K/D 1.06 #266,181 Top 44%
Win % 50% #157,869 Top 28%

On stats I'm a better PVPer than yourself but you've been to the lighthouse before so I don't need carrying as such just need a couple of decent PVPers to help me out, who knows maybe some guys are in same position as me and we could help each other out getting there! As for the lighthouse I simply want to go there mainly for the grimoire points.

Find others to play with, I use the forums here (we have a pvp thread), reddit.com/r/fireteams and destiny LFG. I've gone flawless now 3 times and helped a lot of my friends get 5/7 wins. Mostly I just aim to get 8 wins so I can get all the items, and all the flawless wins have given me is summoners which are next too useless.

I have a few friends now on PSN that I just hit up for ToO and it works out well. Just go out and built a network. Also stats mean nothing, the amount of kids I've seen that have gone flawless with like 0.5kds is amazing.
 
my stats don't mean anything. if i cared about stats trust me they would be a lot better.

i've just recently moved my console (in the middle of the last iron banner) as i was sick and tired of connection issues with the ds4 and the ps4.

after i moved the console within 1 week my true skill jumped 6 levels so that proves that had i not been playing with a shoddy bluetooth connection for a whole year my stats would be a hell of a lot better as my true skill jumped a HUGE amount in a short space of time.

my trials true skill is 6 levels above yours. my iron banner/control is 2 levels above yours. that's with me playing with a shoddy controller connection up until a week ago.

k/d ratio means nothing as i play normal crucible and trials completely differently. in trials i try to stay alive in normal crucible i don't care as i have unlimited lives and respawn, etc so i try things i wouldn't in trials like taking on 3+ people, etc.

if you want play the next iron banner with me, your stats are good and if you get to know a few of the forumers i play with maybe one of the better ones will team up with us? still i doubt you will hit the lighthouse.

in order to go to the lighthouse you need to be very very good or play with people that are very very good.

i've carried people to 7 wins off here maybe with you we could hit 9 but probably with a loss or two.

the top guys play trials 24/7. i know a guy who goes to the lighthouse 30+ times a week because he loves playing trials. this gives the above average players no chance when they run into someone ranked in the top 100 players in the world.


in the past when i played trials i had to move as close as i could to the console in order to mitigate the controller issues. then i would assume normal position for crucible and go back to having issues. the last iron banner got to me so i decided to find a permanent fix.

I've been too the lighthouse for 3 weeks now, and I wouldn't class myself as very very good, mostly above average really. I've also played with some amazing players that just totally failed at ToO.

I think there is really 2 ways to go flawless, have a good mix of communication and skill or be in the top 1%. I've gone through the first set, my teams I normally go are guys/girls with 1.2-1.3kds, nothing amazing on DTR, but we have good communication, have decent plans and cover each other weakness. I hate shotguns but I'm a good sniper so I'm almost always the sniper for example.

Also another point is luck, it is true that there is a lot of amazing players, but also some horrible horrible players, there have been a few games where other team hardly made an impact on us.

This is a good example, I didn't even die, at 1 point I was able to quick scope all 3 of them without them even landing a hit on me. My main point being you could get lucky and face someone like that 7 times and go flawless. If you check out my team none of us are great, and we each had rounds where we did horrible and the other covered. I think having that communication and balance in your team is key.
 
Got one space left on a Monday evening trials group...looking for a regular who can play every (or most) Monday.

OweO and me (middgen) are both above average crucible players, but not had a concerted crack at trials yet.

Might be around a bit later today but probably just doing POE 34 to ascend a few more things ready for Monday sesh. Might have a quick bash on trials before Monday though.

Tbh from what I've played of trials, it's mostly down to communication, adapting strategies to your opposition, knowing the maps inside out, and a big slice of luck when it comes to matchmaking.
 
Deffo some luck to it, we had the same team 3 times in a row (knocked them out every time).

Still not been to the light house, but deffo not impossible
 
i've had 1 game where we went bulletproof in trials and another where we missed bulletproof (1 death) within the same 9-0 run so yeah there are horrible players trying to go for the armour and stuff. but chances are you are going to run into more good players than bad as bad players usually get kicked out after a few games.

you definitely need 1 very good sniper in a team for picks and you need a balanced team all knowing what their job is so don't all 3 try to snipe for example unless your all high skillers.

i'm usually the sniper when i play with forumers and i'm usually shotgunner when playing with my lighthouse team to show you the difference in skill levels (one of the guys in my lighthouse team is in the top 100 in the world).

the lighthouse isn't an easy place to get to. fallen you must have a very very good team and your probably better than your stats suggest or your team mates are.

stats as i said before don't mean anything. i don't play much crucible apart from iron banner so hopefully my true skill will jump up again due to me sorting out the ds4 issues.

as for using USB that won't work the ds4 uses bluetooth regardless. to prove this connect your ds4 to a pc and then press the power button. you will be able to control both the pc and your ps4 at the same time. so it's a flaw in the design the bluetooth is always connected to the ps4.

All the excuses are coming out now lol. I started eating porridge for breakfast and sitting 0.03cm closer to my monitor, and my true skill went up by 2 points. Can you imagine if I had done this a year ago?!

You keep saying stats don't matter, but you constantly post about stats, true skill and how one of your team is top 1%.

@potato. Your stats (which don't mean anything, of course) mean you're not very very very good, so you should just go away and pay someone to get carried to the lighthouse.

Joking, feel free to add me and jump in with us, as we PvP quite a bit (stats don't matter though) Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we can try and get you to the lighthouse :)
 
Can't be the porridge I have it every morning and it hasn't helped me. Tried moving closer to the monitor but made no difference, in fact my score went up slightly when I didn't switch the monitor on. Oh well thanks for the tips Venom but I guess I'm just not cut out for PvP

I must have missed something. Did you move it closer to the pad or something?
Click to expand...

well the pad is usually in my hands when i'm playing and by moving the console next to me means it's now beside the pad also as my hands are connected to me.

if you don't have issues with inputs not registering or lag or suddenly all registering at once. also had issues with voice comms regularly breaking up, etc and having to move closer to the console to get them back.

if you don't experience any of the above then you should be fine.

my issue was that i didn't have a direct line of sight to the console. with my console being in the bedroom and the tivo box being in the top slot of the av unit the console had to go in the lower slot. so it was pretty low to the ground.

the controller then had to send the signal through a bed (mattress) in order to reach the console. as the bed is a lot higher up than the lower slot of the av unit. by moving the console beside me and running a slightly longer HDMI cable i now have a direct line of sight to the console from the controller.

Did you turn some honey in your porridge, that real helps I find.

Bluetooth doesn't need a line of sight does it? I've had my PS4 inside a thick oak cabinet at one time and never had an issue. Maybe its something inside your house that messing with the signal. and My wireless headset as worked clearly from my attic which is a good 30feet above my console and I was not expecting it too work at all.
 
Unfortunately Sonny has me on ignore.

Can someone please ask him if he wants a 3v3 (Trials, Salvage or Skirmish) against me, Venom and one of our regular Trials players? I want to broadcast it for all of OcUK to see.

No otherwise the Bluetooth in my car wouldn't work very well with the phone in my pocket/bag....

Just lol
 
the bluetooth in the ds4 is crap.

google for tons of people having issues where they didn't with a ps3.

the first one i googled a guy used to be able to control his ps3 from a different room through walls which was connected to his home network of hdmi cables so his console was able to be displayed in multiple rooms throughout the house.

replaced ps3 with ps4 and was unable to do this due to lag or simply no connection at all.

another guy saying he used to be able to control his console from the kitchen or dining room iirc and now had issues.

i have a bluetooth yamaha soundbar, bluetooth smart tv, tablets, smartphones, wireless router (console is wired) all in the same room. so it could be congested. but i think it's an issue witht he console or the ds4 itself that they have put cheaper parts in to make the console cheaper to manufacter.

otherwise you wouldn't be able to google tons of people all having the same issues.

"It’s bad enough that the PS4 is stuck on an older 2.1 standard of Bluetooth – not even the lower powered standards have been implemented, which might have improved battery life on the controllers – but is the Bluetooth range worse than it was on the PlayStation 3?

With the PS3 users would happily find that their controllers would work from the other side of their house. The PS4 should, theoretically, be the same. None-the-less many users are reporting communication issues from just the next room.

My PS4 is in a different room to my TV – the PS4 is literally behind the wall that the TV is mounted on and is less than 1.5 metres from where I sit. However, I often find a sudden lag occurring between my controller and the PS4.

So, what could the cause be? There are 3 possibilities, or a combination of them…

It’s under-powered in the PS4
The location of the transmitter is causing reception issues
The Dualshock itself is to blame rather than the PS4
Let’s look at what differences there are between the implementation.

On the PS3, a teardown of the PS3 Slim shows the Bluetooth antenna in the lower left hand side of the console, attached to 3-dimensional metal connectors. It uses a Marvell 88W8780 combination WiFi/Bluetooth chipset, although specifications for this don’t seem to be available.

A teardown of the PS4 shows the Bluetooth chip to be on the rear left of the console (looking at it from the front). Instead of a physical cable the chip is connected to a right angled plate via a connector on the motherboard. The Marvell 88W8797 chipset used is a combination WiFi/Bluetooth/RDS radio set-up and it supports Bluetooth 4 (maybe a future software update will allow this).

What the latter chipset shows is that it supports both Class 1 and Class 2. Class 1 allows a range of up to 100 metres but consumes 100mW to do so – Class 2 only allows a 10 metre range but consumes just 2.5mW. Is there a possibility here that the PS4 has switched from Class 1 to 2 to ensure that carrying audio to the controller doesn’t dramatically impact controller battery life? Indeed, the Bluetooth in the controllers themselves are also critical but Sony has released little information about these. A Sony FAQ for the Dualshock 3 states that the range is 30 feet – that is consistent with a Class 2 device. If the PS3 was Class 1 I would have expected this range to be greater.

So, conclusion? We don’t have one. Without firm details of the Dualshock 3, 4 and PS3 Bluetooth we can’t ideally compare. Certainly, it would appear that the positioning and configuration of the Bluetooth within in the PS4 is not as good as the PS3. If you’re having issues I’d make sure that left hand side is as close to the controllers as possible.

Sadly, long term, there isn’t a solution – there doesn’t appear to be such a thing as a Bluetooth extender (shame)."


like i said i've had these issues for a while and the only solution was to remove the console from the av unit. the signal is so weak it cannot penetrate my mattress.

i have a top of the range parrot kit in the car and i've been able to play music inside the car whilst im in the home from my phone. so i assume my car uses the 100m range chip (class 2).

the ps4 or ds4 is using the 10m range (class1).

it's a design flaw.
