Deactivate Strike Matchmaking

Can we please be given an option to turn off matchmaking for the Vanguard strike playlists? I'm tired of trying to play strikes with my friend and being forced to have a rando that just sits and farms at the beginning of the strikes instead of participating. The strike is scaled for three people when only two are actually running it making it more annoying and time consuming. It would be nice to do playlists with a friend or alone. Maybe the ability to kick idle/nonparticipating players would work too. If a player is inactive for a given time or if they fall too far behind etc an option to kick is offered, or something. Just a thought.

  • Strike are no longer scaled for 3 players. 1 Player difficulty = 3 player difficulty. But no, I am not going back through all of the Weekly updates just to find that one.

  • I don't think a kick option is the solution since it may get abused.. Just look at left 4 dead.. Countless of times I've joined a match and before I can do anything people are already voting to kick me :S I think you should get kicked after 5 minutes of inactivity or to prevent someone just moving around their character to avoid getting kicked they should make it so if you are not reaching certain "checkpoints" or killed anything you will get kicked for not participating

  • It's a problem for sure. I can see a kick option being abused though so I honestly don't know a perfect solution. Don't see why making matchmaking optional could hurt though, let those who want use it and those who don't don't have to, same should go for weeklies/daily.

    • Kicking players would get abused. The only strike made worse by having an afker is valus. None of the others are really all that challenging. If you can't do it quickly with two players you might as well just give up.
