i do understand what OPMM could do to the game. in fact many do. just ask them. of course there are many who would disagree as well. the point is not about who agree's or disagree's. the point of the Discussion(thread) is to point out the "Right Action" to take. however i will Endulge you. :) [quote]Do you know that no one users their mics in matchmade activities? Don't believe me? Go run strikes til you find someone using their mic or even better, go run PvP and find someone using their mic. Good luck. No one communicating will make endgame activities close to impossible and you'd spend more time wiping than you would have actually making the team. Another problem I see occurring is a underlevel trying to do a higher level activity. Your matchmade fireteam would be held back by said guardian and you potentially could be wiping because of it or end up doing much more work than you would have if you took the time to make your team. [/quote] i play MM all the time. your right i will not disagree people do not use there mics at all. it is not needed unless you want to make relationships with others in game to add to the quality of experience(or for raids and PoE Lv 35, Trails,), which many players obviously like to do, but what could the fellow Guardians do with current in game functions? i will tell you from experience. when i feel in the mood to chat i plug my mic in and start talking to them. one eventually(pretty quick) plugs in there mic and talks to. it is all about putting yourself out there. i do it many times. and everytime guardians start talking. it is not that difficult since the xbox one(aassuming PS4) comes with a headset. and if we added OPMM to all games modes it most certainly must have Settings such as Mic or No Mic Option. allowing you to pair with players with mic or no mic or both if you like. we can make it work. bungivision has the power to do so. you don't like OPMM even with settings? thats cool :D we could have multiple ways to form groups not just OPMM. we could also have an In-Game LFG way to form groups. many player have made threads spreading light to such ideas. just as there are many ways to look(faction gear), guns, armor, why should we not have multiple ways in game to form groups? especially when the game is formed around Game Play since the beginning? it does not add up. it makes no sense not to have those Options in game. it is a bad design. do you understand that? [quote]And what if someone isn't helpful or AFKing? How would I kick him? A "vote to kick" system? Okay well then we kick him, have to wait for someone to be matchmade in and hope he knows what he's doing. All this time you've just wasted could have been avoided had you took the time to make your team or join a team that you feel best suits you to win.[/quote] again if you are that unlucky player who gets many afk then its okay to use a LFG because you can it will still be an Option. reason being MM is OPTIONAL. meaning it is your choice, your free to choose. sounds lovely does it not?;freedom of choice? it could be even better if you could do that with an In-game LFG function added right? you would not have to leave the game at all :D who is not down for that? [quote]Sadly, no one will take this comment to heart. Everyone is so encased in the thought of optional matchmaking that they don't stop to see the problems with it. And then someone will miss the whole point of this comment and tell me "just don't use it, problem solved." And I will classify them as a homegrown idiot who will drag this game to the depths of hell[/quote] then talk to me. i will have a real discuss with you! why will it doom OPMM? if it is so horrible it won't get used right? because LFG sites will still be a thing(many do not like OPMM). that is cool. but why is it so bad to have more options for use to choose from? it is a choice after all. so tell your side bud :D
