Matchmaking Update - 2/17/2016
Guardians,
The refinement of your competitive ecosystem continues. As you battle each other in the Crucible and discuss those experiences on the forum, we're taking stock of your reactions and sharing them with the team. Today, that same team is sharing back to you with some news on what's changing.
[b]Effective Immediately[/b]: New Matchmaking settings are live in [b][u]Control[/u][/b].
We've taken additional steps to increase the emphasis on connection quality. Skill ratings will be less a factor in finding you a match. Lag will be even further diminished. Enjoying a game with your friends who are more/less skilled than you are will be easier, but your opponents will be more random, so you will stand a better chance of getting your ass kicked - or vice versa. There is still some form of protection to insulate the casual players among us from the most hardcore, but those considerations will have much less impact on the technical quality of the matchup.
We have also extended Damage Referee ([url=https://www.bungie.net/7_This-Week-At-Bungie--02042016/en/News/News?aid=44307]click and scroll down to "[b]Out of Bounds[/b]" for context[/url]) to govern the impact that poor connections have on matches in [b]Clash[/b], [b]Rumble[/b], and [b]Freelance 3v3[/b]. It is still live in [b]Control[/b], where it was originally deployed.
As always, your visceral real-time reactions to these changes in a live-fire exercise are more important than the math. Sound off and let us know how it feels. For now, your test-bed for the new settings is exclusive to [b]Control[/b]. Get in there and control the zones. Let us know if you'd like to see these changes deployed far and wide.
It's an ongoing process, and you're the most important part of it. Thank you!
[b]UPDATE (02/18/2016): Matchmaking tuning has been revised to prioritize finding people who are close to your locality in the interest of further reducing lag.[/b]

Alright heres my shot. A new Idea to throw at crucible something I been think of for a while. Anyway what i believe would change this PvP around for most of us strong PvE lovers is a combo. So the objective of this lets say 3v3 play style would be that you and your fireteam are loaded against another fireteam AND a boss(yellow bar maybe a shield). Now this stat buff(that the boss has) could be randomized every time would be what you're really trying to get to fight the opposing fireteam. For example Lets say some Archon has a buff on where only Solar hurts him. While the respective fireteams can totally obliterate each other first, however this would have an almost daughters effect on the boss making it enraged(faster, x3 damage, and idk adds spawn. Encouraging all 6 players to fight this Solar Archon and get rid,of him. Now the fun part once dead the fireteam that gets that actually last shot( or maybe the need to have a runner using a relic) on said Archon would now become Immune to Solar forcing the players to use a variety of Type damage. Just an idea that I wouldn't mind getting in there and competing against some highly skilled players if there was lol something keeping us all busy whilst preparing to totally either get owned or womp. Just an fyi thought Bungie I literally have had my ps4 for nothing but Destiny. My ring tones are from the game, I plan on meeting my fireteam from England because Destiny. This world for all the bad i hear from people is very addictive and i absolutely loved SRL. ToO i think is so inspirational to go full ham(granted not my area but still very cool ) I love this world community and game please keep up the work guys thank you so much for making a game with this level of depth. And not to mention responding to the community. K thanks ima stop talking now

It has taken you 2 years and now you want to do something about it. As much complaining has been made over the lag issues! I find it funny that The Division game is around the corner you now want to do something! Your scared now you will lose gamers and want to now save face. Pretty sad you allowed Accuvision to ruin a great game with all the ingame purchases for emojis and game content that should have been with the game day one. Wish I could say I want to play the game and I am a fan, but this game is dead to me. Waste of money, time, and breath to complain and hope for you all to fix. 10 year future? More like 10 years of disappointment. At least you'll have your fan boys, like sheep.

1 ReplyBungie like to make decisions based on assumptions rather than tests. They assume average players will be overrun by better players, they assume we don't really know what we need or want, they assume we don't mind being matched with players 10'000 miles away and I assume that this is bad science! They just need to test higher priority CBMM on a 6v6 playlist such as the new individual entry playlist where teams cannot dominate. But it won't happen. They will continue to use assumptions and numbers and ignore actual player feedback. Assume, never check, it's a good motto for Bungie Devs.

Edited by viraltaco: 2/17/2016 9:22:08 PMFirst game: Great ! Second one: Too much try hards, I just want to relax, I don't feel like trying to beat enemies whom are either on cocaine or just way better than me. Third game: Ok, so if nobody actually leaves my team I can have fun…

As long as your focus seems to be once again on PvP...can you do something about the horrendous/lack of drops at end of match? Plz go back to HoW levels.

Hugh! Success with the adjustments! I stopped playing Crucible a while ago because i could never play with my friends because the lag just made it so miserable. Now I can actually play with my friends. 4/5 of my games were lag free and pleasant to play since the update! Thank you bungie!

Can you deploy these changes in elimination I'm tired of facing non stop tlw/1kys :\

Thank the traveler! I was getting slaughtered out there. haha

Deej/Bungie, everything you are doing is appreciated. Going forward, do you think you could also do something about adding 'match-making' for nightfall and the raids? Most technical reasons I have heard so far from your side and also from fellow gamers, is not strong enough for me to believe that adding matchmaking to Nightfall and Raids is technically not feasible. You want to make people crave for those gameplays and stay online for numerous hours, thinking they will be able to join a group or have people join them, to finish a Raid :) I know your target consumer is mostly hard-core gamers and teenagers (people who love to post videos on youtube and stream on twitch), but there's another group of casual gamers, glike me. I have been playing destiny ever since it came out and that is all I have played since then. I like to play PvE, since that is what is so different about Destiny, making it special...the different enemies, their fire power, big bosses, etc. If I had to play PvP and shoot a bunch of people, I would be playing counter-strike. So, to keep it short, request you to do something about this, or else, Destiny is becoming a bit boring....I will have to stop the 2 year long saga of playing Destiny. I am sure there would be a few other people who think likewise. Thanks!

I sort of want to give Bungie's Community Team medals for having to listen to, analyze, interpret and make meaningful recommendations from all this emotional bitching and moaning. Good job guys!

Honestly I enjoyed PvP a lot more when it was skill based, rarely did I ever have any issues with others and connections. Now that this whole "connection" based PvP is live I find I'm playing against more people with crappy connections. I am usually in the green, sometimes yellow and I see more red bars than ever. Honestly going to connection based matchmaking was a step in the wrong direction, but that's just one guardians opinion among the thousands out there.

How about matchmaking on nightfall too?
