Please add Matchmaking to Daily and Weekly Strikes!
I can understand (although not agree with) why Raids don't have matchmaking.
But I've noticed that the Daily and Weekly [b]Strikes[/b] also require you to pick from a friends list.
Bungie please add Matchmaking to these modes - as I said I can understand Raids - but not to have it for Strikes is just making the game harder and more frustrating considering that Strikes normally do have matchmaking anyway.

Agreed. It's not going to affect anybody. If you want randoms you get them if not then no problem!
-
2 Repliesthere should be matchmaking for every co-op mode the game offers. It's an online game with barriers to grouping with others, and that makes no sense.
-
I also understand the reasoning behind it, of course it's going to be better to get a group of friends together, but it's like I saw someone else saying elsewhere, they've taken away the [i]choice[/i]. If matchmaking was implemented, there's no reason you can't still get a group of friends together, we just shouldn't be forced to do that, or have to ask random players in the Tower. Related point that's been said before, perhaps there should be some kind of looking-for-group billboard you can post to to put a fireteam together. Finally, and this might just be me, but I'd like to see optional matchmaking for story missions. This isn't a difficulty thing, I've solo'd all of them, it's just that I much prefer to play with people than alone, and as has been said, my friends aren't always online, and I don't want to hassle strangers in the Tower.

Edited by Imerty: 9/22/2014 12:34:38 AMTotally agree. Don't want to put matchmaking in the Raids because of the changes that are made to the gameplay? Ok, I think is a fair excuse (at least until everyone just go to YouTube and see how to to beat it). But not having matchmaking for Daily and Weekly Strikes (Heroic and Nightfall) makes ZERO sense. It's just a strike mission. There's nothing different about it apart of adding more difficulty. You kill minions and shoot a big guy at the end. Like every other strike mission, which btw HAS matchmaking. This decision of not adding matchmaking is actually making the endgame a lot less enjoyable because the rewards that you gain by doing them are very important to get bet gear (which is the whole point of Destiny's endgame)

For the love of the traveler, yes! Sorry I can't spend more time hanging out on the boards or other methods of online communication to potentially find people who will be on at the same time and want to do the daily or weekly, but I'd like to spend all my free time (not family or work) enjoying the game. I sort of understand your desire to make raids a limited social club for the younger group who have tons of friends playing online but not keeping matchmaking for these 'special' events makes it feel exclusionary and that I am not the audience you wanted for this game.
-
Okay - So, I've tried really hard now to be 'social' and get other players to join my Fire team to have a shot at the Weekly Strike. (not the Nightfall one!) So I invited several people to join my game and not one even tried to join me. Do you see the problem here Bungie? The option for matchmaking[b] needs[/b] to be added for [b]all Strike modes![/b] [b]Please![/b]

5 RepliesIts fine how it is the reason its like this is cuz the rewards are great besides the nightfall strike isnt hard.... all u gotta do is duck nd shoot well using the right element. Btw i did it as a 27 with a 25 and 27 right by my side
-
1 ReplyI agree, there's no reason not to add matchmaking for the weekly.
-
I agree this needs to happen but at the same time the person searching should be able to input parameters on what they are looking for, like certain lvl req & looking for particular class(s)/spec. Vice-versa you would queue as such.

1 ReplyI think the reason there isn't any matchmaking is because they aren't really that difficult to complete solo. I've faithfully done every daily heroic solo since level 16 dying only once if at all. The weeklys are a tad bit more difficult but nothing a fire team with 2 level 12s couldn't fix. The first weekly I'll admit felt almost impossible against Sepkis Prime, and needed guardians of the same level or higher to complete. But this past weeks surprisingly was a lot easier than the first time I fought Phogoth. I'm not disagreeing with you I'd prefer the matchmaking, but it's not really a necessity, and Bungie could possibly feel the same.

2 RepliesI agree but Bungie is taking taken the entire playbook from Trion's actions with Defiance. Guess what? =/
-
Agreed

And the weekly nightfall strike needs it

Weeklys need matchmaking yes!
-
Just give us an option. When we pick we can go solo , with friends or matchmaking. I pick the level 8 strike on earth and am FORCED into matchmaking and then I choose the weekly strike that is on earth against sepiks at a higher level and have no choices and show up alone on earth. WTF?!! Let us have choices. I'd like to do the level 8 strike solo but have matchmaking available for the weekly if I want. [b]choices !!![/b]

2 RepliesI now have two completely wasted Bounty slots filled. One random for a game mode that bungie doesn't have active, one that requires me to do a strike with friends on a system where none of my friends play. Seems like a great system though, bungie.
-
4 RepliesIdgaf what they add matchmaking to as long as they do it for raids.
-
the problem with daily and weekly missions is that, especially for the daily, I might get on for half an hour to an hour. it can take that long just to build a fire team. I want to run daily for the bonus but can't because by the time I'm in I have to log off again. with raids I devote a whole day. one or two days a week. not having matchmaking for daily is basically saying that, because I have a job, I can't do it. furthermore I wok nights so I'm on at 5am after work when there's no one I know awake. let me team up with someone in that timezone for twenty minutes please, without having to get personal? I'm sure there's two other people who are awake at that time, but forcing us to be best friends just to do a half hour mission is ridiculous
-
4 RepliesI would love to see matchmaking with the weekly and daily but the only prob I have with that is the lack of communication. I don't see anyone completing the nightfall weekly through matchmaking when no one else has a mic
-
And additionally, if your advice is to walk up to randoms in the tower and hope they'll come with you, how is that any different than having a built-in matchmaking system?
-
1 ReplyAdd to everything but the raid and nightfall, matchmaking would suck for those, especially if you end up having a bunch of L25's queuing up for it
-
Agreed. Hard to get stuff done when my friends aren't on
