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?

Yes each activity should have optional match making. However, this weeks challenge is easy to do solo.

Matchmaking for everything....works for the division and that's waaaaaay harder. Fk knows what bungie thinks matchmaking would take away from the easy game....

Signed, but I'm positive Bungie could care less what PVE players want.

This needs mm or people will stop going on lfg to scramble together 3 randoms to do a 10 minute activity which requires no mic. Nightfall too please

No. You can solo it in about 10-15minutes

1 ReplyI agree. There should be optional matchmaking for everything. Key word [b][i][u]optional[/u][/i][/b]

NO. Then if my friend lags out (Happens frequently) some blueberry takes his place and steals the points! No Matchmaking please.
-
I just soloed it and got 39k you don't need match making they made it easy so solo players can do it too
-
Meh. Just solo it.

Bump day 2

Cowabunga BUMP !!!! Everything matchmaking.

Agree

Its easy, but I wouldn't mind Matchmaking if you do not have a card in your inventory, that way you won't get those cards done for the good loot, but still be able to farm stuff without finding people.
