discussion and thoughts on the adding of ''Additional Matchmaking Options'' to the wish list and hopefully the game:
I am unsure as to what it means, it does not sound like matchmaking in all activities, looks to be pointing to current matchmaking lists, could it mean the addition of solo and private modes for both pvp and pve, could it just be there to appease those who wished for matchmaking in all activities and that it will only appear in the next game or could it be genuine and be for all activities in one of the next DLC's?
if you have suggestions on a layout for matchmaking please share it with us here or support any layout's you like the sound of or mine
these would be the optionas in the setting screen, you can change them at anytime during an activity:
Private = solo (make it a challenge)
Match made = random's with random's, you can bring your own team (you understand you may fail)
Pre-made = chose your own team, it can also be solo (you want victory no matter what or a greater
challenge)
Level restrictions and requirements:
Strikes: Private and Match made fireteams
Crucible: Pre-made and Match made (custom matches come under Pre-made)
Weekly Strike: multiple level selections, Private, Pre-made and Matchmade
Nightfall: unlocked at character lv30, minimum lv30, private, pre-made and matchmade
Iron Banner: Match made (no private)
ToO: unlocks at character lv33, Pre-made fireteams of 3 only
PoE lv28: unlocks with character lv28, Private, Pre-made and Match made
PoE lv32: unlocks with character lv32 and clear of lv28, Private, Pre-made and Match made
PoE lv34: unlocks with character lv34 and clear of lv32, Private, Pre-made and Match made
PoE lv35: unlocks with character lv34 and clear of lv34, Private, Pre-made fireteams only
VoG normal: unlocks with character lv26, Pre-made and Match made
VoG Hard: unlocks with character lv30 and full clear of normal, Pre-made and Match made
CE normal: unlocks with character lv30, Pre-made and Match made
CE Hard: unlocks with character lv32 and full clear of normal, Pre-made and Match made
with all Matchmaking, you will be grouped with players of the same rank or up to 1 level difference for that activity, those who drop below the minimum required rank will be kicked and returned to orbit (yes that includes changing of gear) with a penalty (maybe 10 minutes without matchmaking access) and this is one I made up, player's can vote out Afk'ers/trolls/useless gamers by simply pointing at them (requires only 3 players to point), it also means you wont be paired up with them again for 24 hours(they also receive a harsher penalty of 1 hour no matchmaking access), if your booted because of connection problems it would attempt to add you to that group or another group at your checkpoint, matchmaking would fill any open slots with players who have reached the same checkpoint as the group
checkpoints take on a critical role in the match made system, so you would never loose your progress
please tell me what you think?
