Hopefully Bungie will watch this and please, think carefully before choosing. Sorry about a "Whatever Bungie Chooses" answer being absent. Just a simple poll for a hot subject right now.

  • I don't care either way I have more than enough friends for a raid most of the time and no problem on weekends but I still think its kinda dumb to have it for strikes but not raids

    • Either way I will be jumping in by myself to see how far I can get if any by myself.

      • Having a MM option would only get more people in the game. Some of those gaurdians might suck. Is this a surprise to you? I'm glad you have the foresight to see the obvious. I think MM is a great idea. If you had a bad experience in the raid, you knew what you where getting into before you started. I don't need my hand held.

            It's fine as is. A pick up group finishing a 16-18 hour instance that requires lots of team cooperation just isn't very likely. That's not to say a pug can't do that, but it's just not likely. Not to mention it's not feasible to think that a group of strangers would stay together for a quarter of that time. If you've played an MMO with end game raiding, you understand why. Typically you can join a queue for a smaller dungeon, because the challenges aren't that hard to overcome (much like strikes). But when you get to huge end game bosses and long raids, it's not something you can queue up for; most of the time you won't even see the inside of a raid unless you're in a good guild or clan.

            • Your logic doesn't add up, matchmaking would make Raids more difficult because you are playing with randoms in a gametype that requires great teamwork and trust. You will have to coordinate, picking the right weapons, supers and so on, a team with only titans for example would probably get destroyed. Raids with MM would probably be next to impossible to finish.

                • No it will have bads attempt to get carried, and they will cry like they are now that raids are too hard. Then Bungie like wow will nerf them. No no no! I want a challenge! Part of a raids difficulty is finding people you can work with and count on.

                • It should be in for the simple reason that it gives players the choice. If you hate playing with randoms/think it is too hard then don't use the MM feature. If you want to go in blind and see what happens you should have that option. It is sometimes fun to watch the chaos that ensues.

                • I really like the idea that it's not random even if you don't have friends it's a great way to get people to join clans and actually work together. I think that if there was a matching making system that just set you up with random people it would be horrible I mean what would you do if your assigned raiding team sucks? Leave of course I mean it'd only take two minutes for you to be set up with a new one so who cares? It's much better if your team sucks and you have to stay together and help each other get better because who wants to waste an hour or two to find a new fire team for raids not me and if you do then be that person who leaves the weak for a slightly better group, by the time you find a new one your old one will be good enough to win, because it was really you holding them back.

                  • For. It equals more choice and makes the game mode less dead and more accessible. Anyone that doesn't want it can simply build their own team first then go in. Both sides win then.

                    • I can't vote in your poll. My viewpoint is basically that IF they add social features to the game, Raid MM is a terrible, terrible idea. If they don't, then without MM, I probably won't ever end up with 6 people willing to play it at the same time.

                        What the MM crowd really wants are extended strikes, so I think Bungie should add that and keep the raids as is.

                      • I'm against match making for the raids, I'm sure it won't even be mandatory that you have 6 people for a raid. This is why they want people to be apart of clans or just play with your friends.

                        I am against it initially but I feel that they should consider adding some sort of party browser in a future update because like all games, players will eventually move onto something else. I'm not a fan of getting matched up with people at random. I like to decide who I want to play with. If they add in matchmaking, everyone will use it and we will have no choice but to use it because everyone else will, considering you just select level and go.

                          Bungie did a great thing NOT allowing MM in raids these are setup for experienced highly team focused individuals/teams the way it should be.It takes planning,high amounts of team work and hours of grinding.I put 5-7 hours a day into gaming and easily put 500+ hours into most games i play.Would be as sad thing to see everyone after 3 months wearing the same exotic and legendary gear as everyone else.These raids need to be EPICLY difficult and the same with exotic and legendary gear it should require 100+ hours of grinding or you loss your HARDCORE group fast.The same group that will if Bungie allows put 500+ hours into there game coming back. *** Left a link for my topic with different points to many issues join our debate ***

                            Quoting part of a comment in this thread: [quote]It should be in for the simple reason that it gives players the choice.[/quote] Here is why I disagree. This is just like with the Last of Us. People complained the ending was bad because it didn't give the player the ability to choose what occurred, but Naughty Dog didn't intend for the player to determine the story, simply experience it. It's a similar, albeit not exact, instance here with Bungie. They have decided how the raid experience should be experienced. What you all need to understand is that player choice, as with any aspect of gaming, has it's place. This notion that we as the player should absolutely have the option to choose any and everything bar nothing is absurd. It's childish. It's an entitlement that you feel you should have, but in actuality the developers will decide whether it fits and should be implemented. Bungie decided it didn't so it wasn't.

                              either way I don't want a chat window for any reason in Destiny, nor to have to deal with "raid requirements" on a game that's so frigging simple to play that it will probably take longer for ppl who want this "feature" to find a group, than to actually play and progress through the game. While everyone is worried about their "group" and their "gear"...I'll probably just be beating the top level raids over and over by making groups with randoms who want to get in, and just queue-ing in and doing them myself anyways... Do we really think that there will be a meaningful reason to make groups anyways? It's not like there were class or gear requirements on the content we've seen thus far. Do we really think that there will be a need to "put together a group" of players to complete "raids" in a game with no support classes? Or where your subclass choice seems more a matter of preference than requirement? I think ppl are expecting a little too much difficulty wise from this game. Your health recharges.... You are going to be doing raids where you sit behind cover to recharge it.... To anyone out there who "needs a good group" to do something that basic.... Good luck to you... derp I sure don't need any "help" getting through the content lol, thanks. That being said. MM would make this game better... It's kinda silly that's it's not part of it to begin with. I'm just skeptical of the game actually being tough enough to "require" a decent group anyways. PPL are going to play the game how they want to regardless of what Bungie does.. Some ppl will make groups (Which I think is completely unnecessary to getting through the content) but ppl like to play the game with their friends...and stroke their collective egos .. so we all know that will be a part of this game... It is a shame though that for ppl like me that it won't be easier to just play and enjoy the content. Yes I'll still make due when my team isn't around.. (I'm not going to be playing alone anyway).. But I can understand the frustration of not just being able to get into the content alone. if I have given anyone impressions otherwise than that was my fault for not explaining further. I would seriously just like to be able to play the content ALONE anyways when my team isnt' around...but that's just me I know.. But on the bright side of everything.. Even if Bungie doesn't change anything....I'm pretty sure no one will have trouble finding willing teammates. I'm pretty sure everyone who is worried about this...will go and find everyone who Isn't worried about MM in game...and make strike teams and play the game together. Which is probably what Bungie is intending anyways.

                                Im against mm if this thing is as hard as they say it is. However, it would be nice to have easier ways to get a group in game rather than random invites/forums. We'll just have to see, not assume
