EDIT: This was posted in APRIL. I understand that private matches are on the "list of things that Bungie knows the players want". Before I made this post, it wasn't on the list. I like to think that this post contributed to Bungie putting private matches on that list.
_______________________________________________
Any word on private matches yet?? We were told to keep bringing them up if we wanted to have them. Last night during the Bungie bounty, there was spam throughout the whole entire stream of people asking for custom games and... no response. DeeJ responded to every comment BESIDES the ones about private matches. Private matches INCREASE THE LIFE SPAN OF A GAME BY A LOT. It's such a basic feature, I'm astonished that Destiny doesn't have them yet. A ton of people that wanted to play this game competitively have already LEFT, and a lot more will leave soon!
[b][i][u]BUMP FOR PRIVATE MATCHES[/u][/i][/b]
[b][i][u]LIKING THIS HELPS TO GET IT TRENDING AS MUCH AS COMMENTING DOES[/u][/i][/b]
-no rewards for private matches
-no xp/faction gains
-kills, deaths, suicides, etc. don't count towards your stats
-no progress towards bounties
YOU BASICALLY GAIN NOTHING IN GAME FOR PARTICIPATING IN A CUSTOM GAME
Well, we were at the top of trending and highest rated about two seconds ago, and suddenly... poof, the post isn't.
Bungie - you guys are sitting on an absolute GOLD MINE, and as a fan and player, it frustrates me to no end to see you guys not take advantage of it by adding one simple feature. Imagine if Halo didn't have Custom Games... sure, it would have been popular still, but I don't believe it would have been nearly as popular nor as long lived. Please at least give this consideration.
If you think nobody would utilize them, you're wrong! Look at the popularity of the first Destiny tournament! There's even a skirmish [url=http://bracketcloud.com/tournament/27452]ladder[/url] in the process of being created! [b]People want to play this game competitively.[/b] During the finals of the tournament, the competitors had insane viewer spikes on their live streams. The finals brought Destiny back to the top page on twitch! There's also a skirmish tournament taking place next week with cash rewards supplied by community members.

Have some moar bump - seriously I love Destiny, but it is genuinely baffling that the company behind Halo didn't include the basic PvP necessity that is private matches in this game!

Dear Bungie, You freakn jerks! Every update: "we listen", "we have numbers" blah blah blah.... whatever.... what. Ever.

Needs to happen.
-
Seriously, Bungie needs to at very least give us an update on this. A time frame. Something. Bungie has blatantly avoided addressing this.
-
Still bump still say this every time I talk about the game
-
Bump for godsakes
-
This will never happen IMO, Bungie feel they have created a competitive PvP as is. What they have created is garbage frankly.

Bumpity Bump

If bungie gives us private matchmaking they will provide us an inlet into checking damage values in a controlled way and even more specifically; grant insight into how terrible their servers are and what shit their net coderelies on. While I'd love private matches; I don't see them coming until matchmaking server management sees some change.

Bump.
