For either answer, explain why
Edit: nice to see a good discussion for both points of view, keep the conversation going! Bump this so Bungie can have some feed back before releasing the dlc.
Edit2: Also, Answer this: Do you think people will stop playing the ToO once they get all the armor/guns that you can get from it? Or will Bungie add weekly incentives (alike Iron Banner) to keep 'em playing?
-
Matchmaking would be terrible for ToO. The game mode is already super sweaty, and teams full of randoms would never stand a chance. Bungie made the right decision by not implementing match making.
-
Optional of course.
-
I think some social tools in game would be nice, pulling in randoms not so much. Should be able to party up with people or look for other players in game. It's been long enough.
-
Hell no! Choose your own fate. Don't let matchmaking choose it for you.
-
bump!
-
Yeah why not. Optional of course but hey you know what you are letting yourself in for. Only issue would be people quitting more than normal.
-
Have you played elimination with it's matchmaking? It's terrible. No communication at all.
-
Yes. Because it would make the competition E-Z!
-
I do. Not for going flawless, but to farm the shader/other stuff without looking for randoms
-
If u do u suck and your probably to stupid to use lfg And I dare u to say I'm trash because I'm part of that 16% that actually made it to the golden land rank 5 iron banner
-
It would be so easy to go flawless so sure if it means I get free lighthouse
-
No. No one would turn on team chat. NO ONE.
-
Randoms would almost always lose to three man teams, unless that team had no business being in trials in the first place
-
Not too bothered about match making in trials because u can experience similar in crucible, match making should be added to raids something which not every player gets the chance of doing unless they can find a fire team
-
I do, because no one will ever do it with me ;_;
-
No. It would be 3 man Iron Banner. Why would that be bad? Cuz IB is a joke.
-
What they need to do to stop the public -blam!- of players that want to have a chance is implement a match making only system. Break up teams that consist of friends or people who play together. This will show who has the true skill and give average players a fair shake.
-
It would ruin it because u would still get paired with a group going 7-0 & 8-0 if they are random or not. And it would make the bounties easy to complete
-
Sure why not? It will be your own choice to use it. Pro's can carry randoms and premades might wreck matchmade randoms.
-
For an end game activity, matchmaking shouldn't be allowed. Random groups of nonstrategic groups would ruin the competitive feel Trails should have. And for a mode that grants accessibility to high levelled gear, It shouldn't be able to be joined by anybody. Its not even that hard to find a group on LFG.
-
I'd but only because I might get some teams who don't play 18 hours a day together.
-
Need one more for trials 300+ message dimarud
-
I want it so I get to laugh at all the fails those teams have.
-
While I've already posted this in other threads, and I apologise for the copy/paste, I'm primarily against it. Here's why (incoming walls of text)... Matchmaking for this wouldn't work. Matchmade teams will get crushed by pre-made teams 99% of the time. Bungie wants this gameplay mode to be competitive, the gear to have prestige. There isn't anything prestigious about facing matchmade teams 8 times for easy wins. Your gear means more if it was earned by fighting tooth and nail with other teams who are just like you, instead of shooting every enemy 3v1 because the matchmade team has no communication and refuses to stick together. "Just make it so premade teams can only face premades, and randoms with randoms?" Well, aside from the fact it would dilute the overall population for premade teams and those looking to get into them, what do you do if you're a 2 man team? How would that last spot be filled? By a random? If they even COULD be matchmade with you (randoms with randoms, remember?) what if they suck? What if they're afk? You might say that's the risk with only queueing up with 2, but again, it gives the other team an easy win, and easy gear meant to be for the very best. In short, Trials is meant to be for the best of the best. Crucible's own little raid. Let's actually let the gear have a little meaning, and keep the whining about horrible teammates to a minimum on the forums.

No, fxxck randoms.

Edited by LiamCDM: 4/30/2015 10:55:40 PMTOO is a hardcore PvP gamemode. It's for the best of the best and matchmaking would be terrible. No matchmaking is good. If you want in an depth reason why look at Basil.
