A few weeks ago, Bungie announced through their weekly update that Trials of Osiris was scheduled to return on October 16th. Unfortunately, the most recent Weekly Update let slip that the return of Trials has been delayed, and with good reason.
Some of you may have heard about the glitch a few weeks back that allowed Sunbreakers to throw near-infinite Hammers of Sol while their super was active. If you didn't hear about it, it's probably because Bungie was extremely quick to patch this glitch. Well, as it turns out, now there is a similar glitch, but this time around in works for Nightstalkers.
This newly discovered glitch is apparently creating quite a lot of havoc in this week's Iron Banner. Bungie is aware of this glitch and also aware that players are understandably extremely frustrated by this new method of cheating. Since Trials is a much more competitive game mode, with an even larger emphasis on skill, gear, and team tactics, the presence of a glitch such as this would definitely ruin the integrity of the game mode.
Because of this, Bungie has decided to delay the return of Trials until this glitch is patched. With the Sunbreaker glitch, Bungie was fairly quick in addressing it with a hot fix that followed a few days after a fix was announced. I would expect the same to happen here, so I would not be surprised if there was a patch to solve this issue on or before the Weekly Reset on Tuesday.
However, since the Hard Mode version of the King's Fall raid releases next Friday (the 23rd) I would be surprised if Trials also returned on that day. So I'm not expecting to see the return of Trials until the 30th (which was the originally scheduled release date for HM King's Fall).
While it is disappointing that we'll have to wait another week or two to enjoy (and hate) Trials of Osiris, it's good to know that Bungie is on top of identifying and addressing problems with the state of the game.
