Hi, i have two pg stopped on level 29 for this stupid choice that we can't search group in-game! More of my friends have sold destiny for this reason, but i like this game and i don't want to sell it... So i can't play Everyday for nothing... Please give us matchmaking on daily/weekly and vault raid.... I have season pass but why i will play the dark below DLC if i can't grow my level up and cannot do another vault that i have pay to do??? I'm so sad but without a matchmaking in daily/weekly and vault raid i will sell destiny because i'm so tired of this situation. Please bungie return a good (intelligent) company.

Whatever reasons they may have had in the initial weeks after the launch are absurdly outdated. At this point, almost everybody who's been playing since around the time of the launch has plenty of raid and NF experience, and could easily be matched with an appropriate group. It's VERY simple... allow the person starting a raid to select the raid level (we can already do that), the minimum level of any potential matches, and perhaps an option or two, such as whether the random matches have a mic. If I had that basic level of control over a matched VOG run, coupled with the ability to boot (again we already have that), I'd be doing matched VOG runs and meeting a LOT more new players. I mostly do NF with the same people, but matched NF is needed just as badly. The current system of spending two minutes to open the PS menu, what for the rcvd msg list to load, open the msg., read it, and reply to every stinkin' request I get at the tower, half of which just say "Play Destiny!", with no info about it being VOG, what level VOG, whether they have the rest of the group, whether people have mics, what level the potential other players may be, whether they're starting from scratch or some other point along the way, if they're ready to go, etc. etc. is just a royal pain in the a$$. As a result, I ignore at least 95% of the requests I get. On that note, for the idiots out there that send invites to people without bothering to provide any info whatsoever in your invite, go screw yourselves. Do you enjoy spending all of your time waiting for the PS menu to open and retrieve the list of received msgs, only to open the play request and find it devoid of any information? No? Neither do I. If you don't have one or more lvl 30 chars maybe you don't know how irritating this is and how often it happens, but someday you will. If you're one of those people, try sending the person a MESSAGE, with info about what you want their help with in the SUBJECT line, and THEN if they reply you can send them an invite. You'll have MUCH better success.

Okay the unofficial reasoning based purely on conjecture on my part. It begins with how the game is intended to be played. 1. Complete story 2. Unlock Crucible and Strike playlist 3. Hit 20, join faction enter crucible and playlist each week until maxed 4. Meet people in playlist and/or crucible who have a playstyle that is complementary 5. Friend said people 6. Create a core fireteam of 3 to perform the playlist each week 7. Keep in touch on the forums 8. Connect with another 3 person fireteam 9. Each three person team does playlist 10. All six crucible each week 11. Upgrade gear become friends 12. Message via the website 13. Conduct Raid - Have Fun 14. Form a clan 15. Find other pairs of three people fireteams on the forums 16. Grow clan 17. Weekly Raid/Nightfall/Heroic/Playlist/Crucible life is full 18. Clan BFF on the forums all the time 19. Buy DLC 20. Use Forums/Buy DLC/use Forums/Buy Destiny 2/use Forums/Buy DLC etc. So why is this the correct way to play? Because when Bungie and Activision decided on this partnership they DID NOT decide to create a game. They decided to use a game as a launching point for a multimedia experience. Using the forums is part of the game, using the app is part of the game. When Bungie sits down to discuss user stats for budget purposes, for advertising budget, for product endorsements and secondary vendors, for the movie deal, for the book deals. It will not be the number of players playing the game. The user stats will be Total User IDs using the game or the website or the app over each quarter divided by total sales volume divided by days in a quarter giving the number of players per day. Average time in game will be all hours spent doing any of the above divided by total users as defined above. 9 million users spending 3 minutes in matchmaking per day is 450,000 player hours per day 9 million users spending 12 hours per month dealing with the absence of matchmaking 3,600,000 player hours per day If the average user spends one hour per day actually in game 9 million users at 9 million hours However with 3,600,000 hours per day dealing with matchmaking half that time 1,800,000 complaining about the game half that again 900,000 figuring out the grimoire cards and crap Plus 10,000,000 hours of Bungie fans (who do not play) complaining about the game 25,300,000 person hours per day are spent 'playing' destiny SINCE players only play 1 hour per day as per the chart (imagine a chart) Then it is obvious that there are actually 25 million players 25 million players to buy the books and Destiny 2 and watch the movie and and and... Cue salivating stockholders

You really want to take the risk matching and finding morons?

Simple solution: a tick- box, matchmaking yes, matchmaking no. No discussion and you know what you are getting into.

I feel like the nightfall and weekly heroic should both have an option to match make, as the difficulty got way crazy my fusion rifles all suck my shotguns suck even worse, this is UNACEPTABLLLLLLEEE!!!!

Unlike Story missions and Strikes, Raids do not give players objectives or waypoints and instead force Guardians to figure everything out themselves. Because of the necessity of communication and coordination, Raids do not support matchmaking.

If you have such a lack of social skills that finding a group on a LFG is too demanding for you I suggest you immediately find a physiatrist.

They've said over and over why. You just don't like it so you ignore that they've stated it. Raid matchmaking is a horrible idea.

It's stupid shit that makes it tough on people anyway. Mainly no revives and respawns. Lots of options could be set and filters applied to get more of a "matchmaking" Also when chests get opened, just change it so whole team gets reward so some people don't just run to all chests and screw over people. Good for patrols too! Congrats Bungie for trying to force us to become old war of warcraft style players. Less than a third of your customers can access the content they paid for and even give it an honest try.

It's because the level of coordination required to be successful inside vog would be too intense for random to figure out. I do believe there is some truth to this as well. I have raided with random groups of people and had totally awful experiences. I have had ppl blame me, yell at me, curse at me and worse. I can only imagine how bad it would be if matchmaking were allowed.

Well you don't want a bunch of 29 noobs all getting matched into a raid for their first time. No one would know what to do. The search/matchmaking tool should allow someone to specify raid completion experience and minimum level percentage, so you can join a raid if are you are 25 or 30 through a search parameter that satisfies your personal preference so no one is upset when lower level or inexperienced players join, unless their search parameters allow it. There would be two search parameters: minimum average level, and minimum average number of completions.

I think match making should be available for everything except the raid. Bungie's reasoning is sound in that area. Any one who has attempted the raid would probably agree. But, having said that, there are plenty of great players who are willing to take level-appropriate players into the raid all you got to do is get on this forum and spend a little energy finding them. More often than not you will find people looking for help. PS make sure your LEGENDARY or higher weapons are leveled up

Here's why; Bad kids and good players who don't feel like carrying them. Most 30s would immdiately drop at the first sign of someone not having a clue what's going on
