Open up solo queues for Nightfall and Raid instead of Guided

I'm sure some people have had success with guided games, but as a solo queue, I have never gotten into a single match for Nightfall, and I'm guessing it will be similar for raid. IF you choose to keep guided games, at least provide a simple Chat Interface for clanmates to type to each other. This is not console-exclusive. Chat drive community interaction with clanmates. I haven't seen any useful chat functions, so they are either super well hidden or not implemented.

    • this is the absolute epitome of stupidity. Its like they want you to talk all your friends into buying their product so you can play it. Sorry dipsh!ts, I dont have time to sit on your website making you more money so I can play the game that I already paid for. Ill spend my time on another game.

      I think Solo-queue is a bad idea. Its supposed to be an activity that requires more teamwork and communication. With rings for instance, you don't want to just start the sequence when one person feels like it. 1. Destiny needs a decent VoIP system, so we aren't encouraged to use 3rd party or the console party systems. 2. Guided games needs to actually force voice chat, do a sound test. Make everyone say something into a microphone. Give the guides the option to kick the seeker if they don't speak, and give the seeker the choice to leave without penalty if the guides aren't speaking. (easy to check, select 'kick for lack of communication' on the fireteam screen, if they don't speak in 20 seconds the kick goes through) 3. Being a Guide needs more benefits to bring out more people. Right now the queue time disparity is ridiculous. 25 minutes for seeker and 1 minute for guide? get those closer together.

    • You know what. Damage already done. Bungie made Leviathan a giggle fest already. Open 'er up for the plebs who rather complain on the forums than look for a group on the forums!

      • I'm with you on the nightfalls, they are not too tough and most of the time a friend and I 2 man them. Timer makes it real difficult to solo but with torrent and time warp for adds on, solo'ing w a double pulse Titan is not that difficult. Come to think of it, even the fairly recent prestige pyramidion NF with torrent and time warp zero, I was able to make it to final room drop solo, but nowhere near enough time to address final boss. Solo queues for nightfall should be in game in next dlc. Have to take a different path on raids, mainly bc of time invested needed to complete the leviathan, no speed run strat, lol, just regular old proper mechanic'd raid, and running castellum in between each room. Nightfalls are 10-20 minutes. Raids are multiple hours. Not to mention of all the guided nightfalls I did, only twice did anybody use a microphone. I think guided games could be one of Bungie's bright spots in the D2 verse. Like you said, open nightfalls up 100% like strikes, random matchmaking OR clan based guides for a solo seeker who may be looking for a clan to join, let us choose. Raids MUST be language based matchmaking. My first experience in a guided raid was very early. I was a seeker, queue'd in for a little over an hour when it finally matched me, first 8 guides were non English speaking. I tried to communicate with each, epic fail! lol Took so long I was removed from matchmaking and Bungie tried to re-queue me. Actually received an error stating "Too much time choosing, you have been removed from queue." lol. Not EVER going through that pain again. No, just no. Instance'd/Random raids could work, but leviathan requires call outs if not using prebuilt/static teams. How would Bungie matchmake? Based on use of a headset? Just bc you have one, doesn't mean it will be used or work well enough to hear! Not to mention oath keepers score, we can't just drop out to orbit if we have a knucklehead that's not using headset and if that person is that much of a knucklehead to not use one, chances are you will be stuck in the castellum for the minimum 45 minutes. At which time, Everybody will immediately leave to orbit! lol. I really like the idea behind randomized/instance'd raids. Just don't see how it could be logistically implemented, especially inside Bungie's supposed "clan centric philosophy" now. lol. Don't get me started on that! lol. There are no in game real time chat processes and to this date Bungie hasn't even contemplated putting them in. I'm not holding my breath on in game chat bc of Bungie philosophy at the highest levels. They did address that specific feature in an interview and it doesn't look like it will be considered anytime soon. Can't remember the lady's name who is at the top of the Bungie food chain wrt in game communications but her personal views on it are not inline with how you or I think. Fo Sho.
