From browsing the forums since pantheon launched, there seems to be a lot of so called “solo” players that appear to be solo due to bad raiding experiences. It’s made me think of how raids can be more accessible to new raiders. I was a huge fan of guided games back in the day, but they weren’t highlighted very much. I think something like guided games NEEDS to come back or Bungie will miss out on many new raiders and continue to build a divide. Could even just bring guided games back imo. Pros to guided games: - new raiders have a way to matchmake with teams willing to teach - the groups formed are BUILT to be taught - my success rate from previous GGs was near 100% (due to the pickup needing to leave) Cons: - no mic, no chat players ruin the experience (one should be required) - wait time for a match could take a LONG time. Showing a wait queue for both seeker and guide queues would be helpful This would potentially resolve the “raiding is gatekeeping” or “I’m solo and hate raids” mentality. I love teaching raids but sometimes it’s hard to find people wanting/needing to learn. I miss guided games very much for this case.
