It's really annoying to have to wait for people to get on to form a group for Raids, Nightfalls and Heroic strikes, especially since we can't go to a public area like the Tower and recruit due to the voice chat restrictions imposed in the game. Not to mention it's hard to find people of the right level as well. Matchmaking would make this so much easier and make getting gear and leveling it less of a hassle.
The Matchmaking could look for players of similar level to match you with to make sure you're not going in with anyone too low to survive, as well as balance the group by diversifying the classes, bringing in 2 of each class for raids (2 titan, 2 warlock, 2 hunter) and one of each for the Nightfall and Heroic strikes.
While on the topic of Strikes, it would also behoove the player base if we could finally be able to voice chat with our random fire team members instead of having to form parties through the dashboard (X360 and XB1 versions). This should also be allowed in the Tower as well so those who are looking to form specific groups of people for Raids can do so much easier by simply talking to those around them. Being able to openly communicate with others is a staple of MMOs. Not allowing us to do is counter intuitive towards the game play in Destiny.
Also, we should be able to choose the difficulty of the Raids between normal and hard. The same goes for regular strikes as well. We should be able to play strikes up to level 30 as well as difficulty modifiers for players to challenge themselves. The higher the level and difficulty modifiers, the greater the rewards.
With the addition of PoE, matchmaking should be added for all modes of that activity as well, not just level 28.

No for raids. No for Nightfalls.

I asked my friend if he used matchmaking wow has for raids. To quote him "NOPE fûck AFK players. LFG/LFR is a waaaay better way to find a group." And that's why we'll never have raid matchmaking. Even people who have it don't use it.

-
Heroic strokes are already matchmaking. If you can't get a team together for the rest, try doing it on your own. Might take longer but at least you can try.
-
Hard Core gamers need a Real challenge! We enjoy doing Nightfall and such on our own by ourselves thank you. Bungie made weekly Heroic impossible to do on your own this upset a lot of my Hard Core Friends.
-
Bungie stayed that they have no intention in adding matchmaking in raids.
-
Add match making but don't make them required
-
No, please don't.
-
Only if optional. I wish they would make the Weekly Heroic optional as well.
-
They already explained why there won't be matchmaking for nightfall...and raids, just get a group. It should take less then 10 minutes for a group to find.
-
no match making for the Raids, ever
-
and how about an ability to close off my fireteam to unwanted people instead of forcibly joining me with those same folks
-
I put no for Raids, I do not EVER want to play with a rando in a raid. That is like inviting trolls into my home and then giving them a BJ and if they aren't trolls they are 99% likely to be too noobish to play (see only 28's and 29's in lobbies) or are AFK
-
not nightfall or raid I like doing raid stuff alone
-
Add random people as friends. If they have the same schedule you can at least do the nightfall. Me and 2 friends do the nightfall.

Edited by Colonic Purge: 3/10/2015 3:21:20 PMOptional or not at all Some people don't want to carry people without mics, afk (afc) players, or even low level characters Some people want/can solo raids so they should be able to as well Besides, take 5-10 minutes tops to find a full raid crew using lfg/forums and you have more control
-
If it's added, it has to be optional.
-
I don't care if they decide to add matchmaking as long as you can choose to opt out. If I have a group of 4 for the raid, doesn't mean we want 2 randoms.
-
I dont want to be forced to play with people. Speak for yourself.
-
Just make matchmaking an option. If ppl use it they can't complain cause they chose that option. If ppl don't wanna use it they can keep using the current lfg system.
-
I think raids would be twice as hard if your playing with random ass people instead of your friends. And plus there's no guarantee that the kids your playing with would have a mic and the mic is crucial.
-
Nightfall and heroic yes for sure. Raids absolutley not. Reasons: 1. Getting people without mics. 2. Afkers and not being able to kick them 3. People would back out all the time searching for tgat perfect group, ghus ruining it for other players. 4. Cant build a group like using lfg aka 6 people that cant run sword. 5. Cant control the scubs, people not listening to the people that actually know what to do.
-
If Bungie implements this then they should also allow majority vote to kick people. AFK would be too big of an issue on the nighfall and raids with matchmaking.
-
Edited by A_Bunker: 3/2/2015 5:04:04 PMMatchmaking should be a toggle for everything that takes more than one person. If you want it, toggle it on. If you don't, keep it off. It should be up to us as to whether we use it or not.
-
If they made it optional I would be fine with it. But it would be terrible if it was forced. I have lost track of the number of times somebody got disconnected during a raid or nightfall and had to join back in. Add in the fact everyone has that incredibly slow friend that is never ready to go, so we occasionally start down one person and they can join once they get it together. We have a solid team, if we want to do crota on hard with four or five people that should be our choice, sometimes a smaller team presents less opportunity for errors.
