Hello @mikogibo and @JimmiePitts
I'm pulling this straight from the announcement of Apex Legends Ranked series 3
We’ll be giving out gun charms, badges, and dive trails again based on the highest tier achieved this Ranked Series. However, from here onward, dive trails will be temporary for all future series. This is to help alleviate the visual space when everyone is dropping to the map, because as it stands now there would eventually be too many trails and they would lose their meaning. For example, if you place Apex Predator in Ranked Series 3, you will have the Apex Predator dive trail available for the duration of Series 4, then it will be removed. Players who earned any dive trail in Series 1 or 2 will be grandfathered in, and will keep the trails forever. We currently plan for a set of 4 dive trails that return in a cyclical fashion every year, so for example, players can get the chance to earn the same dive trails in Ranked Series 3 and in future Ranked Series 7 a year from now, while another set will be available to earn for Ranked Series 4 and Ranked Series 8, and so forth.
In short: they don't want too many trails as they would love their meaning.
In my very own opinion, the incentive to get to Diamond Rank has been drastically lowered now that players only get a dive trail in Masters. It seems like a bad decision to me.
I am however not certain what to think of the temporary trails.
Then what's the point for me to go the a 169ping server and play for the motivation for getting to masters to just vanish after 3 months, the dive trail is not the main goal for me in ranked it's the games and the divetrail is simply a motivation. And a trick for my brain to continue grinding. Trust me in this one people mostly grind to diamond, masters, or pred just for the dive trail but they will stick around for adrenaline filled games, winning one of these games is just a different feeling. If the dive trails continue to be temporary it degrades the countless hours spent on grinding and any person won't feel more motivated the to continue grinding anymore or play ranked at all.
