Bump

These are the main issues I could come up with, looking at it objectively: 1) No player has control over the match team, unless they were on a fireteam first. People who are afk, have a bad connection, have a bad attitude, etc. would remain in the match team, potentially disrupting the game and taking away from the experience. For example, I join CoE by myself and get matched up with two others. One player decides he doesn't care about points at all and proceeds to kill everything with body shots. This would make it hard to achieve the high score on the elders sigil. Personally, if this really was an issue, I would form my own fireteam prior to joining, like I do right now. So, really this doesn't change anything for me other than finding a team for me when I just want to grind. Matchmaking would save me a lot of time when I'm grinding CoE and having to constantly maintain a team of 3. I can do it by myself. But, it's faster with more players. Marchmaking - 1 No matchmaking - 0 2) Poor communication. Not everyone has a mic. And, some challenges, like Skolas in year 1, would be a lot more difficult, if not impossible, if you couldn't talk to each other. Though, we've yet to see a challenge that really requires anything but yourself. But, playing by yourself gets boring. If I feel that my team needs to have a mic, in order for us to be successful, then I would find my own group, as I do now. I will always find my own group for a raid, even if there was matchmaking. Communication is key for [i]that type[/i] of content. But, it doesn't negatively impact my experience if others want to try it without mics and with random people. Matchmaking - 2 No matchmaking - 0 3) Solo players. As matchmaking is currently implemented, this would force solo players to have to play with a group, despite them not wanting to. All matchmaking should be made optional to avoid this. Matchmaking - 2 No matchmaking - 1 Since we're keeping score. We've got to give a point to whichever gets the most votes. Matchmaking - 3 No matchmaking - 1 Bungie, please just add matchmaking for everything and give us more ammo. Watch how much more fun we'll have. Wait, you may not understand that. So, I should speak in Bungievision... Observe how the utilization metrics increase for end-game activities, and the players online per hour goes up gradually.

Optional matchmaking*

There is only one reason why bungie have not implemented MM in COE, It prolongs play time adding numbers to their stats.

Then you would be matched with two 310s trying to get lucky and get carried so nah I'm good

-blam!- no. Fire teams only scrub

Lol bet a lot of you trolls felt the wrath of destiny servers yesterday and felt like shit when you had to start over at the last boss....maybe not lol.

My opinion is torn between the two. On the one hand, it is meant to be an endgame-style activity, and random members may very well screw you out of your points for the week (it's happened to me with a lot of Crucible bounties and quests, too. line up a perfect grenade throw or a beautiful throwing knife arc and have some low-skill, 0.2 round KD loser steal the kill with a lucky last-second AR bullet.). However, it's also a relatively easy and simple mission, so matchmaking could speed up getting weekly totals once you've received your one-game total with a Fireteam. Simple solution: Add [u]optional[/u] matchmaking, not just for this but for all activities.

In the time it took you to write this post, you could have gone on bnet or the app and made about 10 post asking for help.

It's so easy idk why it isn't already

I run this with randoms with no mics, might as well be matchmake right?

Nightfalls and poe fine but not the raids.

I'd agree but only if it was optional matchmaking.
