Hey Bungie, give us optional matchmaking

Yep, just putting this thread here to add with everyone else's just to show you more and more how much we want this. Edit: Also it seems Bungie will mostly only focus on threads that have many likes, so if you like what you read, add a like to the thread. Since I have posted many times before I'll keep it short as I can and to the point. We [b][i]can[/i][/b] find high quality players in match made content, make friends with them and do future content together with them, just the same as we can find bad people, that is a 100% certainty. And wouldn't you know it? The EXACT same thing happens when we use third party resources or the destiny forum. Edit: DeeJ wants to say that part of the challenge is finding friends to do it? Well the only way we have of communicating with players is by inviting them to a fire team ingame and either hope they have a mic or deal with the inconvenient playstation messaging system, or playstation party chat system and use, again, an inconvenient system to add someone into a group and talk to them. This option is still [b][i][u]basically a matchmaker[/u][/i][/b] only you have to do it manually. As you have no way of communicating with them until they are in a fire team or playstation party, unless, again, you use the inconvenient playstation messaging system, which in sure isn't meant for full conversations. The second option from there is, you won't believe it Bungie, The parts of the game that [b][i][u]DO[/u][/i][/b] have a [b][i][u]MATCHMAKER[/u][/i][/b]. Such as the weekly or strikes, then you are put into a mission, presumably with people that have roughly the same goal as you, and from there you can communicate, observe them in action and possibly become friends to do other content ingame. So Bungie, what's [b][i]really[/i][/b] the reason why it's not in the game for all content?

    • this post is about pve. bungie will totally ignore the pve community like they all ways have. Except when bungie nerfs weapons on the pve side because of pvp crybabies wanting the weapon nerfed. destiny is broken and incomplete. but what do you expect when bungie cuts up a small incomplete game into 3 pieces and then does not support the majority of the community ( pve ).

    • As I said in another post... I would like to see 3 options: 1. Private (join fireteam only by invitation. This would also allow solo attempts) 2. Friends (friends can join without invitation) 3. Open (automatically match-makes with guardians doing the same activity) For options 2 & 3, anyone looking at the status of the guardian should be shown "Match-making for (name of activity)" instead of "In Orbit" or "Playing Destiny". Players should be able to set the default option for match-making in the options/preferences GUI. But be able to change it when selecting an activity (pull-down like changing the level of a mission).

    • Bungie is actively removing hot-button topics (such as matchmaking) from the Trending and Highest Rated tabs. Do you believe it is their right to censor these forums to make topics they don't agree with less visible? Or do you feel that these forums are supposed to be our place to have a voice and a place where we can champion causes for change? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The questions it forces us to ask. According to DeeJ Player feedback is one of the most important components of the conversation on Bungie.net. Dedicated teams at Bungie survey the forums in search of support issues and development ideas. Specific user-created topics that trend as a result of community interaction are more effective in providing us with that information than blog threads with thousands of competing replies. If that is in fact true and their teams search TRENDING topics, it effectively squashes a thread to remove it from that tab. We've had hundreds of individual Guardian's weigh in on this topic and have about 10 of the most liked posts in #feedback, including 2 of the top 3. This is another DeeJ quote. Let me get this straight. The player is never “wrong.” I believe that down to my bones. At Bungie, I represent to the developers what you say without prejudice. If that is the case, we've been asking for answers for a week now. Again, there are literally hundreds of stories explaining why people would like in-game matchmaking options and why LFG sites (as awesome as they can be for some) just don't work for them. If a player is never wrong, when one writes a heartfelt post that they don't want to have to use LFG or go outside the game to play the game, how can you reconcile the above quote when you answer them with "Go form your own clan"? Another Bungie quote (not sure DeeJ or another) in response to Asa's question: I love the game... But some don't. Can you shed some 'light' on your feelings toward these negative reviews and feedback? Bungie thrives on feedback. Never feel like you need to stick up for us when you see someone expressing an honest opinion about our games. We’re harder on ourselves than anyone else. Players have been asking for in-game options to play with other Guardians since launch. With each new expansion, raid and batch of new content, that frustration grows for those who want to get on and play, but don't have friends on and don't want to go search outside sources for a team. As much as it sucks that the raid for HoW was delayed, I have to admit that part of me was completely stoked for whatever PoE was going to be because I couldn't imagine that it wasn't going to be endgame content that was finally easily available to EVERYONE and not just raiders. Joke was on any of us who thought that, huh? We are almost 9 full months into Destiny and it is more of a chore than ever to access meaningful content in this game. We've been asking for change the entire time, but have our voices been muted this entire time too? Again, let me go back to this quote from DeeJ, because this is very important: Let me get this straight. The player is never “wrong.” I believe that down to my bones. At Bungie, I represent to the developers what you say without prejudice. DeeJ is our voice with the developers. Well, if DeeJ doesn't believe in our cause, how much faith can we really have that we are being heard? This is DeeJ from way back on November 11, 2014 in response to the call for more matchmaking: It's no secret that the highest quality teammates are the ones you choose for yourself. Anyone with a robust friends list will testify to that. We hear the feedback about matchmaking, and there are conversations about it's future. In the meantime, anyone posting to this forum has a galley of potential teammates to recruit. This is tremendously important because it clearly shows that all the way back then, DeeJ was showing bias against matchmaking. If you're curious, my reply that day: Uh, no. Sorry DeeJ, but that's nowhere close to true. Some of the highest quality people you'll ever meet are in matchmade games and you all know it was ridiculous to not give us that option. Ask anyone who's played any online game how many amazing friends they've made that they met randomly online in a game. I met my wife in a random group in an online deathmatch. What you all did is indicative of the sad social practice of trying to protect us from ourselves. Is skydiving dangerous? Potentially. If I understand that risk and I'm okay with it, should I be able to jump? Yes, I should. Is there a possibility I may get grouped with an asshole in a random game online? Yup. If I am okay with that and willing to wear a headset, should I be able to talk to the 90% of people that aren't asshats? Yes, I should. As an online community manager, you should know that even though the bad seeds may be loud, the majority of people are cool and drawn together by a shared passion. After HoW released, we posted yet more dismay at the unnecessary degree of difficulty just getting to run the new endgame content if friends weren't readily available. From DeeJ. seven months after having to respond to our initial calls for mm: At current, our philosophy about endgame content is that part of the challenge includes forming up a team. This is a strong community filled with players who are looking for teammates. Why not seek each other out here and band together Well, we responded and we banded together and we have over a thousand likes over dozens of posts and instead of being heard, instead of being represented, instead of being engaged, we are left with flippant remarks, corporate-speak mantras and silence. Again, we have asked reasonable questions. We have given in depth answers as to why we feel so strongly in our beliefs. We have engaged in conversations with those who feel differently. We have searched for answers and common ground and have offered ideas for solutions. And in response, our posts have been removed from all but the "Latest" feed, which in and of itself tells us volumes about how much our opinions and experiences truly matter. I'll end this by again saying that the reason we all are here is because we love Destiny. We are all Warlocks, Hunters, Titans. We all have battled the Archon Priest, Sepkis and Rockets McD**kface together. We're not adversaries (well, outside of PvP) and we're all trying to make this game the very best it can be. So how did we get here? Thank you to all who believe, support, never give up and always #bumpfortruth.
