So by now I think many have seen the Weekly Update of today, and that there will be matchmaking for Weekly Heroics. I am usually not the one to react strongly to changes, I tend to be pretty laid back. But this I did not like....at all. Weekly, Nightfall and Raids are my favourite activities in the game and I got a number of friends I play with. However, several of us has day activities (jobs, school, family etc) that on occasion makes us unable to play together sometimes and then it is my own preference to solo Weeklys and Nightfall, mostly cause I like the challenge, in particularily the latter. Forced matchmaking in the former would take that part of fun away from me. I can perfectly see the standpoint of players wanting this, I was once even one of them. But right now as it is, like I said, soloing the Weekly and Nightfall Strikes are my personal preference if I cannot get friends together and therefore I am personally strongly against forced matchmaking. Now, I've seen the topic come up quite often about creating matchmaking for the team-events currently lacking and while I think it is a good idea for the casual or inexperienced, it makes life more frustrating for the lone wolves like myself. That Bungie adresses this with a solution is great, it shows that they still cares for player feedback. Unfortunately, in my mind this is not a good solution. The perfect solution would be to implement matchmaking, but make it optional to use. That way, players who wants it can use it and hopefully make their lives easier while players who for whatever reason wants to go alone will remain able to do that. My main concern is based on my regular strike experiences where I, more times than I want to admit, end up with players who either just speedruns through the whole thing or plunks their behind down in a corner somewhere and just goes along for the ride without contributing. And I fear this will end up bothering players like myself if we are forced into matchmaking on Weekly Heroics. While you, Bungie, can't do much to teach players how to behave or adapt, you can still keep that plague from following the lone wolves into the Weekly Strikes where the stakes are higher. Awesome announcement that matchmaking for Nightfall and Raids will not come with 1.1.1 so we can still do those without a full team, but [b]please[/b] Bungie, I implore you on the strongest possible terms to make the matchmaking for Weekly Heroic optional! EDIT: So happy to see people agreeing with me. Keep the word around and hopefully Bungie will take note. It is great that they listened to the community about matchmaking, but not as great when they missed the host of players wanting the strikes as they were. #OptionalMatchmaking
