Why is There No Matchmaking for High-Level Activities?
My problem is that I only have one or two friends who play Destiny, and so even though I have a level 32 character, I have not done a single raid or nightfall strike. Bungie, if you see this, I would like to know why this is the case. I've heard that you guys claim that these events are so hard that you need a coordinated team to carry them out, but solo runs of raids have openly defied this presumption. If there is any other reason, please tell me, because I see no reason for not implementing matchmaking into these events. Thanks.

There's no reason why optional MM shouldn't be included for those who want to use it.

AFKers, drops, lack of communication, lack of teamwork, etc..Take your pick.

Use recruitment section to find teams. I find it better to message people recruiting though your systems messaging not directly on the app.
-
It's not even hard to find friends.
-
Go solo shit then
-
Just go on the recruitment section on the forums and find teams that way

Matchmaking honestly would not work. Even LFG is hell at times. Raids can be exploited. There's a huge difference between running a raid yourself and having 6 different people doing different things when you need to coordinated is just not going to happen. The two are not comparable. Bungie are clearly aware of this because they've stated multiple times it isn't going to happen. Ignoring the issue of not knowing what to do, you'd get strikes but 10x worse where people sit and do nothing or even just suicide for rewards. Reporting doesn't fix that because the effect if there is one certainly isn't immediate. Just use LFG. It's a pain, but it's bearable.

Because if teammates arent smart enought to hold just 2 control flags you cant expect them to do a raid

1 ReplyHell, even ESO has a Group Finder tool, in the game, for getting a group together for even end-game, Veteran rank quests/dungeons. It's available for all activities from the beginning of the game all the way to Veteran 14. Zenimax can do that with ESO (which has infinitely more content and land-mass than Destiny), and Bungie can't figure it out for Destiny? lmao... that's pathetic, Bungie. It's just. Damn. Pathetic.

3 RepliesWell the raids do depend on communication and coordination, take that out of the equation and you have 5 other people doing their own thing and thinking that their way is the right way. The gatekeeper in VoG and the bridge in CE are prime examples of encounters that need good communication. Yes, the bridge can be soloed with the use of exploits, but that's not the point. Bungie build the raids with teamwork in mind, the second they throw in matchmaking, teamwork goes out the window. That said, I do think that they'll do what they did with PoE for the Dreadnaught raid. As in have a matchmade easy mode and have the harder difficulties playermade. That would be a good middle ground in my opinion.

5 RepliesThese people that soloed it are godly. I've completed the hundreds of raids and that age relatively easy with communication but without would be Damn near impossible. Mm wouldn't work period. I mean vog has never been fully soloed, but if you think it's that easy just solo it. Or if you have 1 friend 2 man it. They only make it look easy, they aren't as easy as you think and without communication near impossible... Mm would only make people cry that raids are too difficult. I do however think there should be an in game lfg social area.... Uh truly social area where you can communicate in game chat and have multiple rooms for the different activities

3 RepliesEdited by SALVATORI???: 7/7/2015 6:05:59 AMI dont understand how half witted some players (and developers) are, not everyone is a 14 year whose parents allot them infinite playtime. Not only that a large portion of destiny's MARKET does not fall under that category, the restriction of playability goes against any marketing perspective let alone general play-time ethics. Deny users the full utilization of their purchased product? Reward those who can, for lack of a better word, "exploit" their personal intra-playibity for in-game gain? Bungie is the ultimate scheme. I for one will not have my wallet be preyed upon by the next expansion, Ive loved Destiny but it just isnt worth my (or anyones for that matter) time. TLDR; implement a rigorous matchmaking system rather than destroy the integrity of the game.

8 RepliesThe truth is, multiplayer matchmaking can be safely introduced to raids and other end game content. It's called a premade group finder. A player starts a group of which other players can search and sign up for it. The leader can set the title of the event as well as a description and a minimum light level for the event. The leader can then kick players who "suck" or who decide not to participate in the group activity. This exact system is currently operating in World of Warcraft and it works flawlessly. So, the systems are there, but it's up to Bungie to implement them.

You can't solo the raid playing it the way you're supposed to. That it's still not fixed is one more of Bungie's disgraces.
-
3 RepliesHonestly because it's proven you play better with people you have played with before. Then randoms.
-
5 RepliesThere isn't matchmaking on high level content so Bungie can make completing the content harder, extending your playtime on Destiny.
-
6 RepliesYou can solo nightfalls..
-
Matchmaking needs to be optional. Too many scrubs and noobs will be carried if it is forced matchmaking like the weeklies.

There are several websites for this. #KillMatchmaking

Imagine all the inexperienced people dying at crota or atheon. Or dying at a mine or boss round. Nope

5 RepliesThere would be 100000000 trolls in MM if there was matchmaking you couldn't solo Crota which make some people like myself stop playing and MM would ruin the game

2 RepliesBungie's philosophy is that their games endgame content should be difficult to access. Problems with this philosophy are as follows. Simply no company on earth should ever want to hinder their consumer from using their product. Lacking support is a hindrance. This game is nothing but end game content. 1-20 is 8 hours of story missions that have zero replay value during that 1-20 phase. 20-28 is a wasteland of nothingness, seriously just a strike playlist that has had most of its rewards gutted. Bungie is even on quote defending their lack of story by saying the game starts at the end. The real reason they dont have matchmaking is that doing all the extra work you have to do to get a team means you've artificially extended the content. I would suggest if matchmaking is a breaking point for you, put your foot down and dont continue to purchase none matchmade content. http://www.gamespot.com/videos/the-point-destiny-the-hardcore-gamers-slot-machine/2300-6425852/

[quote]I've heard that you guys claim that these events are so hard that you need a coordinated team to carry them out, but solo runs of raids have openly defied this presumption.[/quote] Because some people have played the activity and practiced enough times to know how to perform the glitches necessary to solo Crota. That doesn't mean six noobs, even all 34s, can Cakewalk through it... As an aside, it looks easy driving a car in circles on a racetrack, or running a straight line to catch a football, doesn't mean u or I could be a NASCAR driver or pro football player...
