The issue of OMM, while not a topic in this podcast, is near and dear to my gamer heart. It was THE issue that pulled me into the forums; the first issue I ever posted on.
So, I'm just gonna put this here because it pisses me off.
Deej quote from almost a year ago on the topic on MM:
“You have my personal assurances that the design teams know you want it. They’ve seen the conversation.” He went on to clarify that Bungie hoped the lack of matchmaking in modes such as the Prison of Elders would encourage players to seek out personal relationships with others, and take matchmaking 'into their own hands.'”
No. That's a straight-up lie. The lack of OMM reflects two things: 1. A form of time-gating, because OMM would greatly increase the speed with which people would acquire gear and level up ([b]only to realize there's little meaningful content[/b]); and 2. The financial relationships between Bungie, third-party LFG sites, and their advertisers.

There is absolutely no reason challenge mode PoE should not have OMM.

Edited by Judge_Rhymehold: 4/13/2016 2:25:42 AMThat the one with the points? a friend and I two manned it. We were 4K short on points but we really thought we'd stop and find a third, so we weren't going strictly for points in the first few rounds. She yeah, if that's the one you mean, no reason. Not that there is a good reason NOT to have it. Im sure many have said his already; the division has OMM and there have maybe been two challenge mode runs where the team sucked but not so much to not finish it. All other times it's just silence and no train wrecks. But even if there were, it's well worth the risk.

I solod the first boss in minutes and almost downed the second.
