Activities that need matchmaking:
Raids,
980 Nightfalls
980 Hunts
Heroic Menagerie
Make it optional and add power level restrictions and also suggested loadout based on the current META.
Your lfg tool is very bad and full of "soliciting"
Edit : "O P T I O N A L", if you don't like it, turn it off.

Hey if you want a terrible game experience by all means but damn man after some of the groups ive had in the seasonal activity i completely understand why those modes dont have match making.

4 RepliesMatchmaking will open opportunity for more players to play the end game content. Which in turn would promote more playing time. Bungie would like that. It’s true it would be a madhouse at first but given the potential rewards at the end to motivate the player. And with continued exposure to this type of difficulty, the player would learn how to adapt. Just the option to choose would be appropriate.

2 RepliesForget it man/woman/other. The elite scum here want to brag how they beat the raid wearing a mini-skirt and high hells using a old wodden spoon….and that solo! That other games use optional MM is normal. But I do think Bungie is not "normal" any more. It's beating a dead horse now. Bungie would rather go broke and shut down Destiny than to add a modern feature like OPTIONAL MM.

HELL NO! Half of you don’t even understand how to do regular menagerie and need to be carried. The other half of you and yes YOU PEOPLE who complain about PvE matchmaking don’t even equip mods for 920 nightfall.... Your post is laughable.

[quote]Activities that need matchmaking: Raids, 980 Nightfalls 980 Hunts Heroic Menagerie Make it optional and add power level restrictions and also suggested loadout based on the current META. Your lfg tool is very bad and full of "soliciting"[/quote] I agree with you except for raids! Raids are difficult enough without some random doing his own thing with no mic or someone not communicating. Which is what will happen and you'll end up backing out a bunch of times before saying -blam!- it and put a party together of your own or move on to something else!

8 RepliesMatchmaking on Raids is a MASSIVE can of worms because raids as they stand are FAR TOO MECHANIC HEAVY to even consider trying it out with a random bunch of players who more likely than most DO NOT KNOW what the -blam!- they're doing. Raid MM would need to function like Raid Finder in WoW. Barebones encounters, practically no mechanics at all as well as maximum room for error. But then again, this gives a slap to the face to any dedicated raid teams out there, since the encounters would be SO EASY, You'd basically have an outlet to get FREE RAID LOOT where as they had to EARN that shit TL;DR: It's bad

3 RepliesYes to all except the Raid, Look I love Destiny been playing since Y1 have my fair share of raiding back in the day. But the raids today are just not appealing, too many mechanics that take away from the fun factor. I ran VoG as a noob, helped a team of 5 get the gate open and they invited me to join, best night ever! They were patient and explained each phase as we went, left that night with new friends and VEX! Today the raids are so technical one slip and you wipe, nothing fun about that. I haven't ran a raid since D1 and really have no interest. But if I did decide to raid I would look to LFG. As for the rest of D2 activities by all means OPTIONAL match making should be in the game. I had not completed a nightfall in D2 until they added MM now when I am in the mood I MM and have fun. Leave the Raids to Raiders but give us Solo guys everything else listed.

No...

You won’t be able to have a successful run with the matchmaking as it currently is .. but you need some form of groupfinder in game for every thing , agreed .. Nightfalls and nmh can easily bear a more simple form and for raids, just rework the guided game functionality and drop the clan requirement for a guided game , have “certified” sherpas and let them start this and kick people if they are too bad or unprepared ..

All the activities should be reworked to offer matchmaking with the option to privately go in as a fireteam. Going forward if any activity simply can not offer matchmaking then it should either a) at the least be a low-resourced, optional activity with non-exclusive although potentially still good rewards or b) they should not produce them now. Raids are routinely the least active, least popular activity of all. Only 3.3 percent of all guardians have completed a raid like Last Wish. It's simply unreasonable for the majority of players to lock the best loot out for highly resource hogging activities (whilst other key areas such as PvP have had nothing close) that are comparatively very unpopular and most often inaccessible logistically.

Edited by Lucozade85: 12/10/2019 2:21:30 PMThe only one of those that could have matchmaking is Heroic Menagerie. Raids definitely not, you would end up with a load of teams looking for a carry, ruining the run and not knowing what to do. 980 hunts definitely not. You see people running 920s without anti barrier, unstoppable etc. Imagine getting them at 980. EDIT - I suppose optional matchmaking would be a good suggestion.
-
Raids = No Heroic Menagerie = Yes 980 activity = No
-
Optional MM for everything. I've been saying this since D1. If there are people willing to run a raid with 5 MM randoms, then by golly they should have the chance. I wouldn't, but there are people here that definitely would. What are the percentages of players doing the raids? I bet its pretty low, maybe optional MM would raise the percentages of completion, or be giant train wrecks, either way its cool with me.
-
I think it could work IF each guardian had to complete the same activity that they are trying to matchmake in 5 times prior.
-
I agree with all of that except for raids
-
Every activity should have optional matchmaking This isn’t the case because elitists need to feel special Optional matchmaking literally affects nobody that doesn’t use it

2 RepliesI once made 980 matches when I got punished by the soviet army for not peeling potatoes.

9 RepliesI can agree that no 3rd Party Application should have to be used to do Endgame activities.

9 RepliesI'd pay too see 6 braindead micless people mm into a Last Wish.

I can't wait to MM into raid with people using 2 sidearms and Queensbreakers Bow 😂

Will never work

Edited by Hawklune: 12/10/2019 5:12:38 AMOptional isn't a bad idea. Obviously being mstchmade with random would result in some nightmarish activities but I guess that would be part of the package.

Yep , was a huge disapointment to be shut out of any of the PVE activities that actually had rewards and only allowed to do the lowest levels with matchmaking , made nighfalls, strikes and nightmare hunts utterly pointless. If they still dont have them for at least those in dawn im just not going to bother. i know a lot of people lack the ability to work in a pug environment and think its a waste of time, been hearing that for a decades now, it might be true for you , its not for me or thousands of others . dont see why not , people that want to put groups together still can , stick up a disclaimer MM isnt recommended if you like , what does it cost? its not like the game has a track record of good matchmaking , the PvP MM is utter dogshite and creates awefull experiences very regulaly if we applied the same logic MM should be disabled in pvp and you have to put groups together yourself.
