Just trying to gauge how many folks out there would like to see the option to start the weekly heroic strike with less than three people, and have that option expand to the strike playlist. As far as roster invites go, both for Heroic and Playlist, it would work like before the update for heroic: if you changed your mind and wanted to invite people in, you'd have to do so from your roster. Vote likewise and write out your reasons and suggestions, thanks. For an explanation of how the option works, look at image. If you have questions and want clarification, post them as well.
[b]EDITS:[/b][spoiler]1. If you're going to choose the second option, please list the suggestion you are proposing. Pretty sure there aren't 38 posted suggestions.
2. Good job on keeping things constructive with the pros and cons on the suggestions and comments on the thread, guys. Keep it rolling!
3. Some things you may already know about strikes:
--it was possible to log into Weekly Heroics strikes without matchmaking whatsoever in the past (but because MM wasn't an option there)
--if you set your fireteam to "Invite Only" after someone disconnects, the strike does not match you with a new player
--it has been stated by bungie staff that nightfalls do not have MM due to it bouncing players to orbit upon failure
4. I went with the simplest possible solution, and only Bungie knows their technical limitations and how to work around them (e.g. vault item swapping without going to tower was resolved via bungie.net/app access), so improvements or suggestions on the basic idea is open for exploration
5. Try to be as throughout with your suggestions as you can, like option placement, how the option can and cannot be used, why it is a better option, and possible limitations (e.g., on the initial suggestion, limitations are that you have to cancel the playlist and relaunch it if you want to switch between matchmaking and opted-out)[/spoiler]

I would love to have an option to opt out of matchmaking. But instead of inviting from your roster or returning to orbit to open matchmaking why not add that option to the roster screen itself?
[...]
If it were me I would add in a "button" like the fireteam status. Where you select fireteam open, friends only, invite, or closed. I would add a second "button" near it for "Matchmaking open" and "Matchmaking closed".[/quote]

[I]n terms of use ability or in terms of actually working, it would have to be something you select before launching, maybe like the continue/ restart buttons, but for the large button, so you could basically have two launch buttons instead of one, one to launch with matchmaking and one to launch without, that would be the most useable placement.[/quote]

But then is there a host who decides if there is or isn't matchmaking. Only problem I could see with this option. So maybe just choose at the beginning like the illustration showed it would cause problems if you could toggle it.[/quote]

Dat illustration doe. Has to be a gif.[/quote]
[spoiler]I'll add more edits as I read other comments. Feel free to post "awesome" illustrations. Also, props to Rafalski: shouldn't be a PS exclusive xD[/spoiler]

It's definitely a smart thing to add an option in game where we could open the strike to MM, during the strike, without being kicked to orbit, and let randoms join. Say we were doing the Dark Below strike, and we realized that we weren't prepared to face Omnigul alone, giving us the ability to open our game and add it to the pool of MM strikes, so we can have other players [i]hopefully[/i] help us with the strike (Unless they're AFK-ers... Screw those guys)

Props on the illustration.
-
I just hate that one the people I get always tries to AFK.
-
I wholeheartedly approve of both the idea of either a toggle or option for matchmaking. I further approve of the thread for not being a cesspool like most of the rest of the forums.
-
I have been wishing for this option since the beginning. I really hope they do it one day
-
Edited by Ne0nK0ala: 3/16/2015 8:28:21 PMThere's likely a reason they could not turn on opt in matchmaking, they know ppl like to solo things so I'm sure they tried it but it didn't work.
-
Lol that pic tho! Soooo good. Bump for that pic. Idea is alright too i guess.

Edited by SGT DUPREY: 3/16/2015 8:18:25 PMSatellite Internet ensures I play alone, someday soon I'll have a real connection. But the opt out I like.
-
I've always thought it should be an option. I think the issue is.. currently the server picks up your alone and finds matches for you
-
Sounds like a solid idea. It would be good to know why the developers would not put this into the base game. It had to have come up in their brainstorming.
-
The pictures are so accurate I thought they had actually added that to the game.
-
That ship is OP, where can I get it?
-
I've been thinking of this idea for a long time
-
Edited by xXMateoXx: 3/16/2015 2:38:31 PMI don't think you should necessarily opt out of matchmaking I think if you have at least two guardians you should be able to switch to a private game but not opt out entirely
-
Dat illustration doe. Has to be a gif.
-
What are tree people? I definitely don't feel comfortable starting out with those kinds...
-
Idc I play in a full group all the time anyways.
-
I wish that since i soloed my first nightfall :D
-
That's a good idea. You might not always want a full group or maybe you'd just like to mess around solo.
-
Great idea, allows people to solo or duo /friend only the heroics like before, and allows people to mm like now. All parties are happy.
-
Would be nice to have the option to solo or tag team the strikes.
-
Yes and Bump.
