Matchmaking for heroic strikes and the raids?
First off, I have to admit that I'm enjoying Destiny quite numb. Not because of the story, because honestly, it's the worst story in a game I've seen in the past couple of years, there almost seems to be none at all. Also not because of the open world, since the world may be large, I wouldn't call it "open" in a sense I would've expected, the world looks amazing, but most of it is unreachable and thus un-explorable. I simply love it because the core gameplay is extremely well done. Well balanced weapons and gear, very nice pacing and an overall good feel. The classes could've been left out, they're more of the same than really different, display since the classes don't have they're own weapons they can wield. Still I love playing the Warlock class a lot.
But with all that said... Why no matchmaking for raids and the weekly heroic strike mission? Seriously? There is no decent way of interacting with other players in the world, yet there is no way of making a group via matchmaking for surgery of these, more end game, events? I'm really saddened because of this. I have nearly no friends with Destiny or the PlayStation 4 system, so I'm very reliant on the matchmaking system...
Bungie, please address this and at least make the heroic strike a matchmaking system. Also, please make interaction between players more feasible... Joining the same team via matchmaking should automatically put you into a fireteam making it possible to actually talk to one another and thus interact with your team mates during the mission your playing together.

For Weekly Heroic Strikes? Yes, absolutely. Not sure about the Raid...

3 RepliesHave you tried the raid? I would love to see a group of randoms go in without knowing what to do and see how long their attempt lasts.

Strikes are a joke !!!!! People leave or get dcd then your screwed 30mins wasted then reque and have the same shit happen again . The game doesn't even try to bring new players in for like an hour , then no way to get into a heroic strike because nobody I know has the XB1 LOL whoever designed this aspect of the game can eat my shorts , random que is the way of the mmo now so get with the program and stop living in the past , like I have time to post in forums for a group its a game not a job . And why call them Strikes to make a mission you.ve done 3 gazillion times seem some how different , make some original dungeons that have their own side stories , maybe of famous guardians , like the speaker he has been a guardian forever cant tell me he hasn't done some awesome stuff , since your game story line was weak at best .

2 RepliesI think they they should have it as an option to either pick Private Match or Matchmaking with everything. For people to choose for themselves.

Give me an in game bulletin board letting me advertise what I'm trying to accomplish and I would be satisfied. That way I could invite the people with the same goals or be invited by someone forming a group. (Basically the destinylfg.com site in game)

I believe that there should be matchmaking for weekly strikes and raids, but not Nightfall strikes. Nightfall strikes are way harder than raids

1 ReplyI think its better to just use the lfg sites provided by the users of the game. matchmaking would just add more work on our side and bungies side its easier to cherry pick the teammates you want for the mission instead of getting stuck with 5 other randoms who half dont have mics or a couple are level 24 or something so no i think matchmaking is not necessary

No for raid and nightfall, anything else I do not care about. You will not beat a raid with no communication, let alone one or two people afk, under leveled, or just plain bad. It would result in so many Nerf this, Nerf that it would not even be funny, and I do not want to see the content become easy mode. Raiding and nightfall strikes should stay hard and be a challenge for people to aspire to beat, not a loot piñata. Do you know how fast it takes to get a group of people that can communicate together? 10-15 minutes of looking for a post on forums that fits your needs. IT IS NOT HARD TO DO. And if you do not want that, don't raid.

I voted yes, but I wanted to clarify: I don't necessarily think matchmaking for raids right now would be so hot. However, I can't see any reason why the weekly strikes don't use matchmaking. The nightfall strikes might take a touch more coordination, sure, but the level 22 weekly one that is "advertised" on the left of the Director screen should allow matchmaking once someone is 22+. Limit matchmaking for manual difficulty changes and raids, but the rest.. I see no reason to keep it walled off.

2 RepliesI completely agree, Matchmaking, or at least SOME kind of LFG system for this content needs to be a thing. I get where there might not be for raids, but why the weekly heroic strikes? I got an exotic weapon bounty that needs me to do it solo because I have no real means of finding a group. I don't exactly have a full social network and none of the contacts I do have play the game on the same console. I can't talk to anyone in game, I can't even throw up a LFG flag. All I can do is message players through the PSN, hope I catch them before the leave the tower, and hope they don't block me. And to show how successful that is, I haven't been able to get a single group together in the entire week. I got one guy, who bailed when it was taking too long to get a third... and I don't blame him, who wants to spend more time sitting around looking for players than they do actually playing the game. Seriously, if they're not going to have matchmaking for these features at least have SOME system IN GAME for trying to find players with similar goals. Without this, and with the lack of any in game public chats, there's no easy method to even communicate intent to other players in the tower to see if anyone is interested in joining up. At this point I'm honestly wondering why they bothered to have a 'social' zone at all when there's no way to actually socialize beyond waving, pointing, dancing, sitting down and sulking, and repeatedly hurl myself off the tower. It's just a little ridiculous when my best bet for finding a group is turning away from the game, booting up my computer, going to forum, and trying to organize a group at a later date, which is, quite frankly, dumb as hell. I'm trying to organize play time, not a doctors appointment or a work meeting. Please for the love of god Bungie make your actual GAME more social.

1 ReplyI see why there isn't but once the strike/raid starts I would invite everybody to a party to communicate anyway. I think there should be.
