Come on Bungie. I played challenge mode yesterday 3 times with different groups of randos ranging from 315-320. It took each group about the same amount of time and we reached around 30,000 as our score each time. [b][u]Two out of the three fireteams didn't communicate at all (no mics) and the third group barely talked unless it was joking around.[/u][/b]
There is no reason why this extremely easy content doesn't have matchmaking.
The only thing people need to know is that:
1. You need about 5000-6000 score by the end of the first round.
2. You need 15000-16000 score by the end of the second round
3. You need 30,000 by the end of the third round.
4. Each time you complete a wave shoot the boss.
5. Shoot the boss as much as you can until they have a sliver of health and then really try shooting for points and ignore the boss until you reach your goal (or until Variks start subtracting points).
Edit: [b]I just completed my 10th CoE run. All with mostly different people ranging from a 310 squeaker to a 322 master. Little to no communication at all. It is not needed. Matchmaking should be added to [u]just[/u] this endgame activity.[/b]
Edit 2: Lots of you point out that if there is matchmaking then there will be AFK players. Again, [u]you do not have to use matchmaking. I am proposing that it is [b][i]optional[/i][/b][/u]. It will still be in your best interest to play with friends or look on LFG. This is just for people who maybe can't find anyone to play with. It at least gives them a chance to play the game they paid for.
Edit 3: I would also like to note that I have yet to wipe on any of the 10 CoE runs I have done. 30 bosses with no wiping. Heck, I've only died a few times as well.
[u]I hope Bungie doesn't look at this and go, "Oh, it's too easy. Alright then. We're nerfing points earned and adding more difficult modifiers."[/u] Just don't do it Bungie. It's nice to have easy content.
Final Edit: (sorry for the wall of text)
I also noticed that a lot of you mention the fact that, "oh, I can solo it so it doesn't need matchmaking." That doesn't even make any sense. How would adding optional matchmaking to CoE negatively affect anyone who doesn't decide to use it? What does soloing have to do with anything?

86 RepliesEdited by WhoAteMyFunDip: 4/14/2016 11:09:38 AM[b][u]EVERYTHING[/u][/b] should have matchmaking; there's [b][u]NO[/u][/b] excuse not to have it. All the arguments against it are ignorant elitism. If you don't want the feature, don't fücking use it. If it's not ideal for success, that's on the player using it. Players shouldn't have to download apps or use third party websites just to play a goddamn game because its developers are too lazy to do their fücking jobs. The bottom line is simple: players paid for all the content & there should be ways [b][u]IN THE GAME[/u][/b] for people to meet other people. If you go into a matchmade raid, the odds are high that at least 1/5 of the randoms will be someone you'll wanna party up with. And don't give me that garage about checkpoints -- matchmaking can match up players based on their furthest checkpoint. Sorry, but people shouldn't have to be subjected to ultra-elitist LFG sites that's plagued by players with ridiculously high gear standards who need to be absurdly over-leveled for the content they're just gonna cheese anyway. Destiny is [b]NOT[/b] a hardcore game no matter how badly its FPS playerbase wants it to be.

This would be fun and all but bungie never even looks at the forums.

Optional matchmaking for everything would be fun. Court of Oryx. Daily story. Nightfalls. PoE. Raid. Wouldn't hurt anyone. I suspect for some reason optional is a nightmare to implement. When they added it for Heroics as we have now it's non optional. Fairly sure they'd have stuck it in if it was simple to do. Probably would mean a massive overhaul of the director or something. All speculation. If it doesn't happen for Destiny 2 I'm stepping off the Destiny train there. It's -blam!-ing ridiculous expecting people to have to look for groups in a forum or external website in such a multiplayer focused game.

Edited by GOAT Spartan: 4/17/2016 12:15:10 AMOptional matchmaking should be provided. Bungie said before launch that we could play the way we want. You guys remember that right? But since launch, we have been forced to play by their rules. Ive posts for days of people asking and some demanding bungie to provide matchmaking for endgame content. The raids i can see having to find friends to a degree, but at least make it optional there. Bungie is too lazy to do anything in favor of the community. Oh and i signed and bumped lol

1 ReplyBungie doesn't deliver what their players want. End game matchmaking has been requested since day 1.

Every activity in the game should have matchmaking. If you're having trouble with it don't use it, but why not have it at all
-
Division does it right Gears too Borderlands too Matchmaking for everything

Edited by Forever277: 4/16/2016 5:59:07 PMI'd like optional matchmaking for everything Do you have any idea how long some of us sit in orbit sometimes waiting for a 6th? It's probably in the 10s of hours at this point for me over the last 18 months It would be nice to just jump in with a rando If they don't work out just kick them and play some match roulette till you win
