POLL: Raid Matchmaking | For or Against? [BungieWatch]
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.
-
2 RepliesReally don't see what the issue is.. Implement it and.. if you want to use it, then use it. If not, don't use it.
-
3 RepliesSo... I'm new to this whole topic about Raid Matchmaking. Would anyone kindly like to explain to me what is going on?
-
If people need it, they need it. If they don't need it, they don't need it. Simple as that.
-
They could at least add a MP option, but I see why not.

1 ReplyOut of all these seemingly 100s of threads on the same issue, I haven't seen anyone say this. What about when other raids, meaning more than we get at launch are added? Obviously players will want to continue with their guardian progression and play the highest level content available. But, let's say a given player gets their main maxed out and it's now time to level and gear an alt, people aren't going to want to have to play the lower tier raids with a clan members alternate character most of the time. After a while and after new raids are added the first raids will become mundane tasks to players who out level the content. I personally have no problem finding people to play with, I would just like to see matchmaking in the future, after months of doing the same raid we will all know it like the back of our hands and to be able to queue for a raid by ourselves with others who know it just as well seems like the only logical thing to do. If this has already been mentioned I apologize, I didn't read all comments in all threads.
-
I'm neither for or against it really, I kinda feel a sense of enjoyment behind the idea of looking and finding other players with exotic and rare gear to try and recruit for your raid rather than being matched up through some algorithms with anyone that happens to be close to the level and happens to want to do a raid as well. Then again not everyone will want to do that so.
-
Im against it and with it at the same time
-
I think they should have the standard raid without matchmaking and a second mode with. Mm and make it so your endgame rewards are based on how much and what areas of the raid you participated in. And the one with MM has potentially superior rewards then the one without MM . I mean have both modes be the same difficulty gameplay wise but still what's harder to beat the raid with an organized and well geared team or a bunch of random players
-
I'm with it, the community will interact much more and you'll have to actually find the people you want to help you take on a raid.

10 RepliesEdited by MR E0S: 8/2/2014 8:31:33 AMTL:DR You people want to only do raids with your Friends. Randoms out there, want a way to tackle that same exact content, with other randoms. You don't want randoms to be able to do this. Is there something I'm not seeing here? Do randoms playing with randoms, somehow interfere with your private match of friends? I didn't -blam!-ing think so. So stfu.
-
Third option: Indifferent.
-
Randoms ruin everything. No thanks.
-
3 RepliesWhy cannot players be content with how the game is being made? Raids are the ultimate co-op challenge, you must work as a perfect unit to stand a chance. Six random's not communicating will fail.
-
17 RepliesEdited by MR E0S: 8/2/2014 9:25:23 AMSince some of you still don't seem to get it. Look back at Halo You know how many Lone Wolves / Solo Players... Missed out on Custom games? ALOT!! Same concept here. WTF DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST LONE WOLVES? Why the -blam!- do you all want to force this Facebook culture on us? Where we have to "Socialize" with randoms just to play with them.' In both cases. Halo limiting custom games to a friends only list Destiny limiting Raids to a Friends only list. WTF is the problem with you people allowing randoms to play with each other in these game modes?
-
6 RepliesSo far Against Raid MM is winning. Seems like the majority of people agree what with Bungie is doing
-
Im not gonna use it but if its an option it wont hurt me in anyway
-
1 ReplyJust have the option to have MM for 6 man raids as well as have the option for a premade, if you don't like randoms no one is forcing you to play with randoms
-
5 RepliesWhat are the main arguments against MM? I can see why people would want it and I can see why people wouldn't care but I can't see why you'd be against an optional feature.
-
6 RepliesAt first I was against matchmaking, but after thinking about it I've kinda changed my mind. If raids are half as hard as they say there's no way I'd go through matchmaking, I'll setup my own fire team and I know many others will too. But I don't care if there is matchmaking, do I think it'll work? Maybe 1% of the time at best but if that's the way you wanna go it's not really my business is it? That being said, with all this we want matchmaking talk if bungie does decide to allow it I better not see comments on here about the raids being too hard and need to be nerfed or saying they can't get a good team together through matchmaking. I will personally be all over your case if you do

Edited by Seiferslash: 8/2/2014 10:18:02 AMI've decided to roll with a clan regardless, so whatever Bungie chooses. ;P
-
I am for raid matchmaking. Until they make more social features in the game. Then i will change my mind. Forums don't count.
-
I don't care either way. I came here to chew bubble gum an play Destiny, an I'm all out of bubble gum. I HATE YOU AUGUST!!!

Edited by Nashtalia: 8/2/2014 4:42:32 PMafter reading a post regarding the lead designer. i'm all for a 'No MM' on raids. mm is the most casual way to blindly send invites to any willing participant..so no MM on raids. [spoiler] there is a chance a Leeroy Jenkins or a Lenora Jenkins among the randoms that join MM [/spoiler] raids are ment fer tactical and coordination flow... either way it's already said and done..that there will be no MM on raids...ha haa

Edited by Twohothardware: 8/2/2014 7:39:03 PMI think the biggest complaint I personally have with there being no matchmaking for Raid's is that Raid's are the only aspect of the game outside of the Crucible where you actually get to play with 6 player Fireteams. Unless Bungie has made some of the later strikes 6 player then every other aspect of the PVE portion of the game is only 3 players. 3 Player PVE doesn't feel any different than Single player Co-OP in other shooters. If Bungie is going to try and convince Destiny is more of an open world experience with aspects of an MMO where your taking part in sharing experiences with other players in the game world then you can't really get that sense with only 2 other random people. It's just nowhere near the same experience as playing an MMO or multiplayer shooter in much larger groups. I'm fine with Bungie offering a super hard Raid portion of the game for organized groups and clans and not having matchmaking due to the extreme difficulty. What I'm NOT fine with is how they can't be bothered to offer a Normal Raid mode with a lowered difficultly level so that there is a 6 player portion of the game with Matchmaking besides just the PVP Crucible and so that people that play solo or in small groups have the access to at least join in on a Raid and experience it first hand without the need to first hunt for more players and organize their own group like they're trying to put together a PvP clan battle. So again, [b][u]Raid's are the only PVE portion of the game that allow 4-6 player Fireteams[/u][/b] and I want to see more PVE aspects where I can play with 4-5 friends or simply solo and have the experience of playing in a more MMO-like size group while running around in the open Destiny world. If Bungie is dead set against including Matchmaking in any form for Raid's then up the Fireteam count in some other portion of the PVE so we can at least play the Explore Mode or Strikes with 6 players instead of only 3. It can be easily done just by scaling the spawn count and levels of the enemies based on the number of players in your Fireteam.

25 RepliesI'm against Raid MM. I understand the complaints on the other side but seriously do you all not have friends to play with on your friends list?
-
They should do it like FFXIV no MM for new raid content but the old raid content gets MM
