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?

1 ReplyYes please bungie, I get raids but I literally spend longer on that lfg site than the stupid challenge, it's worth it for a raid cos it takes ages and Is complex, but being messed about on lfg just to get with randoms you would find on mm. Cmon. Give it a try

It's easy to solo

Agreed. -signed-

Makes sense to me. Signed.

Not having matchmaking makes ZERO sense in this format. Raids I can kind of understand, but POE of any level? No reason at all.

Bump again

1 ReplyNo reason it can't be soloed.

Yes. Agreed!

Edited by bnetflustercluck: 4/14/2016 7:51:24 PMI play it solo. Best score with hunter - 39, 000 Best on titan - 47, 000 Just have to play smart. Roll with the modifier, make sure to get those critical kills, and make sure you don't finish the boss until no more adds are going to spawn. Anything 320+ is a good place to be.

Agree. Please read and comment on this matchmaking idea... [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/197750445?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=0]Matchmaking for all...[/url]

Optional matchmaking should be available and it should've been available since Vanilla. Folks over at Bungie are just too lazy to do it. They'd rather sit around and come up with new emotes and cosmetic junk to sell us.

2 RepliesI would love matchmaking on raids because I can never find any friends so I never get to play raids
-
2 RepliesEventually it will get harder and communication will really come into play

Matchmaking shoud be optional in all Destiny
