Are Trials (Arenas) dead?

Hey,

it looks like nobody is running Trials and it feels like developers absolutely forgot they exist, at least they renamed it from Arenas to Trials lmao.

You still need Tuning Orbs, there is no group finder option and I don’t see any people trying to make one. Is it dead? Looks like it.

I hope they have plans with it in the future. I’ll quote my own text I posted back in October 2021:

I already posted something like that back in beta, it was my feedback for Arenas and Tuning orbs (TLDR; increase difficulty of arenas, increase them for 10 people and make them like mini raids (or I should say Trials)).

I think it can be good test of function of raid groups and large scale PVE for fighting Shash-Neshen, the Devourer in the upcoming raid, and as far as we know (more like guess) already existing Trials (Zygoramet’s Gorve, The Siren Queen, and removed Corrupted Spriggan) are going to be exactly the same as new raid fight. It looks like it’s not raid, but Trial - which means just one big arena where you fight the boss.

/thoughts?

what level are you?

No idea what level of my character have to do with this question? But to answer it, one level 60 on legacy servers and now level 60 on fresh start servers. And no, I don’t really see people interested in running Trials.

My server is Barri and this problem is not there

Trails (Areans) cost orbs, you get some randomly as drops or quests, but in general they cost a bit to make. So most runs I see, people have to PAY to join the person using the orb

The loot from Trails are mostly useless, but you are expected to pay 1k each to go in.

I have run them a few times with mates for the Citrine Gypsum but there really is not much loot in there worth the time.

Run a few mutations instead is a much better use of time.
