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?

  • So this philosophy coincides with the in-game philosophy of slowing player progress to pad the amount of time spent so you can brag about it? Interesting

  • Welcome to MTV: Destiny! Where you grind before grind just to grind the grind and then grind again!

  • This has nothing to do with slowing content. It's to preserve the experience. I am sure that if my first time raising was match made, I would've given up on destiny long ago.

    No, I meant that like this philosophy carries over to other aspects of the game, like making so much of the weapons/items so hard to get just so the players keep grinding to get them. This dlc toned that down, but still. I'm not talking about raid matchmaking in particular

  • Of course I acknowledge Bungie stretched the game too far. I'm approaching 800 hrs game time. Previously my best was roughly 50 in Titanfall. I just see people foolishly believe that by adding matchmaking suddenly the entirety of the game will open up. I stand by what I say when I say the only way people will complete endgame content is if they have friends or LFG, that will still hold true even if matchmaking is enabled

  • You can still form a fireteam. If I want to use matchmaking, why do you care? Failed argument

  • When players aren't given options they will abandon your game and think twice before buying again. Xbox one hardware sales went through the floor after microsofts' series of 'customer ignoring stupidity'. Same for Bungie. This will be the last Bungie game i'll ever purchase. If i hadn't had the double dlc pack i'd not have bought h.o.w. Here's why: Story is utter crap. Game setup solely for purposes of keeping players grinding needlessly for hours. No matchmaking for NO good reason. Really bad RNG (on purpose to boost grinding imho) Badly patched or ignored bugs on all raids... left like that for months! Vault space was, and to some extent still is, a joke The most broken pvp ive ever played. Seemingly no dedicated servers. Ive been gaming for well over 30 years and ive never seen a game so bad for disconnect or server issues. The galactic stupidity of releasing major patches on £ucking game reset day. The stupidity of Xur. Gg Bungie, i know you cant please everyone but its all about the cash with you and keeping people grinding, as such it'll be a cold day in hell before I pop anymore cents in your tin

    Good post. Particularly pointing out how Msoft's arrogance bit them in the ass. I lived and breathed 360, even met my wife on it. I was so excited for the next gen system and let's just say I'm still on 360.

  • Matchmaking would ruin the game. Just because your too lazy to use LFG isn't my problem.

  • Grow up. I use lfg all the time. Almost every raid i've done was with at least 1 lfg person If you can't see the good reasons matchmaking SHOULD be in game you're an idiot

  • Understand you have canned talking points... But come now Deej...you have been with online gaming long enough to know how this works. An optional in game matchmaking function has been a tested and proven method for FPS for years.

  • Then again, no FPS is like Destiny. MM works fine for a free for all pvp match, but for high end Pve content it'd fail epically

  • Going onto a forum site and finding randoms to play with and using a mic is no different than going to online matchmaking in-game and finding randoms and using a mic. The only difference is the the former is much more cumbersome and frustrating. Putting in matchmaking for Raids would be little different than when you (Bungie) put matchmaking in the Heroic Strike playlist.

  • I think your confusing MM with an LFG. An LFG will always win in terms of effectiveness

  • If you mean that lfg allows you to specify 'must have gally' or 'only looking for level 34s with at least a 2.0 kd' I think you're highlighting one of big drawbacks of lfg compared to MM.
