Where are the Hildibrand Trials? :(

[Zeno_McDohl]

Half of the fun of the Hildibrand quests are the funky Trial fights that come with it. We had these in patches 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5.

I appreciate getting Hildibrand quests every patch recently, but I really miss the Trials. We're already into patch 3.3 and probably beyond halfway in 3.x with no Trials.

Will we be getting Hildy Trials?

[EDIT] Trial Roulette is not gated behind every single Trial to be unlocked.

[Vivi_Bushido]

Some people don't like Hildibrand and don't want to be gated behind his quests to unlock the trial roulette.

After all, he is suppose to be a side quest.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Probably not due to people not liking having to do them just to unlock the trials roulette.

[zcrash970]

Hopefully not.
While lot of people like the Hilda quest lines, a lot do no like them too. If they put a trial in it, it would lock the trials roulette and then people would complain about how we have to do thaf quest lins to unlock it.
Honestly, i say that Hilda shouldn't have any battle content tied to it. It should just be a quick story for some cheap chuckles

Protip to people who don't like Hildabrand quests: Esc- Skip Cutscene.

Every other dungeon or trial released nowadays is gated behind quests, so not really an excuse.

Except they aren't. SE are slowly removing duties from the MSQ to make it faster to start the content you want to do on patch days. Yoshi-p confirmed that during a live letter for 3.2 when players asked if we would have to do the MSQ for Sephriot.
Only time we'll get a duty in a storyline now is if its dreadfully important to its story like Sohr Khai and Nighogg

Why not just not put Hildi trials in the roulette? Or at least, not make them required?

Then the queue time would be rancid for them. Imagine if the Main Story Roulette didn't exist, Prae and CM would rarely queue for new players

Trial roulette doesn't require the completion of all trials in it anymore. You just need i90 and at least two trials unlocked. For example, I have an alt with trial roulette unlocked even though he's never done the Heavensward or A Relic Reborn quest trials.

I suspect the real reason we don't have Hildy trials this time is that the questline was rushed out due to popular demand and didn't receive as much planning or development time as the ARR questline.

But you don't need Hildi trials for roulette....

All you need is i90 and at least 2 trials. They fixed this a long time ago. What's the issue?
