Hello everyone, I have been playing Destiny pretty much everyday since launch now (as I assume most of you have) and feel like I can finally offer my opinion on this game. I have three level 29s, one of each class. Aside from completing the hard version of the raid, camping at a loot cave, and acquiring and completely upgrading every gun in the entire game...I feel I have experienced pretty much everything Destiny has to offer. Destiny is a good game with the potential to be one of the best games ever made, and I'm not trying to be hyperbolic when I say that. It has extremely solid gameplay and interesting lore that could pave the way for a wealth of future content. After reading the news about the Atheon fight change (which I sincerely hope does not go into effect, but I digress) I read through quite a few comments and threads discussing the fix in order to try to understand both sides of the issue. In doing so, it became clear that the people on each side had drastically different experiences and expectations from the game. The side that favored the fix, or at least didn't mind it, seemed to always have a dedicated group of players to play with and the other side usually didn't. As many of us know, Destiny endgame consists of a random story mission to be repeated daily, two weekly strikes, and two versions of the raid. Oh, I suppose grinding marks also counts as well. I'm not sure if I am in the minority here but I don't have a large enough group of friends that I can always find enough people on that haven't already completed the activity that week to form a group for raiding or weeklies. I am always forced to decide between trying to find a random group manually from desinylfg(.com/.net) or just soloing whatever content I can. I have soloed all but one of the weeklies I've completed and sometimes I just don't do the raid because of the hassle of trying to find a group. Honestly, on some nights it takes longer to put a group together than actually complete the raid. And it's a real shame too because I typically have a blast when I am actually doing it. Here you may ask, "Hey Victus, why are you such an antisocial weirdo?" or say "Make some friends and/or join a clan already! RNGeez, can you believe that guy." and I suppose that in some ways you would be right. That could be a solution to the problem I'm having but I suppose it's not a solution I want. I don't want to join a clan just to try to find a group using yet another lfg post and search site, or get invited to raids by tons of people on my friend's list when I'm watching Netflix or have already completed my runs for the week. I want matchmaking, for all content in Destiny. I want access to a pool of players (hopefully near my character level, and even more hopefully, near my skill level) that want to do the same thing I want to do when I want to do it. I genuinely don't understand the hesitation to implement this as a feature for all content, other than just to make it exponentially harder for PuGs to find groups. I would be shocked if the majority of people who completed the VoG, or even the weeklies for that matter, haven't at least used these forums or an lfg site once since launch in order to find more players. And if you have to manually invite random people, often from a third party site no less, to your party or as a friend in order to play with them then it's still a PuG. It's just one that you had to jump through too many hoops to find. This is made even worse by the fact that Destiny intentionally makes it difficult to make friends in-game, where you would want to find them the most. This is done by blocking, or at the least impeding, communication between players. I understand Bungie wanted to minimize toxicity in their game, which is commendable, but I believe silencing players is/was the wrong way to achieve that goal. I also hope that voice chat for PuG fireteams can at the least be opted into in the future to address this but I once again digress. Anyway thanks for reading, however much you may have read, I know it was long! [b]Please vote and let me know how you feel about matchmaking![/b] This was just one area in which I feel Destiny can be improved but there are of course others as well. I genuinely want Destiny to realize it's potential and be a game I play for years to come.
