I think matchmaking would streamline the process and allow more people to experience the raid. That being said, matchmaking will fail if it is implemented like the current strike playlists.
For matchmaking to be successful it needs a high level of customization and detail with respect to how it finds matches.
How it should work: Select raid matchmaking, options, choose raid, set level restrictions, choose weapon damage minimum, select preferred classes, set raid completions minimum and lastly Grimoire score minimum.
Example:
-----------
Raid: Crota's End (Normal)
Lvl Min: 29
Wpn Dmg Min: 300
Pref Class: 2x Titans
Raid Comp Min: 20
Grimoire Score Min: 2200
-----------
I think the more hardcore audience fears that raid matchmaking will just become a platform for under-leveled and under experienced people to get carried.
By using minimum wpn damage, Grimoire score, raid completions and lvl as discriminators for matchmaking this will be minimized.
On a side note: all the preferences listed above should also have a "no preference" option for those players that want to help out.
Thoughts?

Bearbeitet von Rogue Conviction: 12/18/2014 12:16:53 AMI think your idea for that customization is... honestly? crap. weapon damage minimum... 300? not everyone can be bothered to go around finding the materials in complete silence killing low-level enemies (depends on planet) so that they can upgrade their gun y'know. grimoire score? well you could have played the game through on 12 different characters, getting to at LEAST level 20 and probably get it to 2000. so you could really end up getting some trolls with too much time on their hands with that. raid completion time? what are you going for the world record or something, seriously? I just wanna play the raid thanks. it's understandable if you dont want to take way too long to complete it, but just play the damn raid for christ's sake. just a level and raid option would be fine, it's more likely those at a higher level know what they're doing, so if you're that picky you just go 30+ (till it's made higher than 32). if you've just reached level 26 or have been unable to play the raids and levelled up some good gear because there's nothing else to do but strikes and multiplayer, then wahey! choose that! if you ask me, just have a 'hardcore' or 'casual' option. at least that way you know what to expect when you're starting. but then, also expect lots of trolls to pick hardcore... because who doesnt want to annoy those hardcore players who take games too seriously and think they're better than everyone else? not trying to be an asshole, if I sound like one. just being flat-out honest.
