Freelance option for all crucible modes
We need a freelance option for all crucible modes that have team play.

1 ReplyThat doesn't make sense. Mainly given the player numbers. Bungie needs to keep whatever cluster of players that are still kicking around together. Fewer modes and less for the player to muster through, makes matchmaking easier in comparison. Having freelance for everything would: A) Put too many icons on the Crucible menu. and B) Split the "matchmaking" further than it already is. You're asking to have a "smallish" group be split up into even smaller sub categories. [spoiler]All for the short term convenience for the single player, but also having an inevitable long term, consequence where matchmaking gets longer, and those at their wits end for Crucible leave out of frustration. This would just cycle back to being, once again, inconvenient for the single player. The Law of Large Numbers, probably has a hidden play in this too, statistically speaking.[/spoiler] Again, this doesn't make sense, right now.
-
Yeah no, our numbers are already in the toilet thanks to sbmm again and you want to cut what's left of the population in half? Nahhhh
-
As much as I want freelance 6v6, the player population isn’t large enough for it and making even more playlists would spread the population even more.
-
1 ReplyNo. The game already has too many playlists and not enough people playing to have the playlists populated to the point where one can find lobbies with people in the same region, and on top of that there’s SBMM to further limit the players you can be matched with.

Needed

7 RepliesOh get good kid. Crying cause you got stomped by a competent six stack? Too many show flakes that refuse to get good and want a participation trophy. Joke.

2 RepliesOnly IB needs a freelance mode. Getting mercied by 6 stacks of sweats is never a great experience.
-
6 RepliesNo. You wind up with too many playlists and matchmaking times and connection quality suffer.
-
-
Matchmaking would take far too long for everyone it’s already super slow as it is
-
Chuck it in the classic section to see how it does first.
-
2 RepliesFreelance is nice except when you're match made against a pre made full team all in the same clan.. was a big eye opener for me. Freelance doesnt mean a gaw dang thing
-
Atleast 1 freelance playlist for non comp would be nice

1 ReplyEdited by an Ape with a d2 addiction: 12/26/2019 2:57:17 PMWe don't. Some folks think they do but they don't either. You're asking to double the playlist amount. This'd double and split the amount of matchmaking pools while we already have a big number of them. Queue times will be longer and thanks to p2p latency issues will become even worse. Not every team is a stack and not every stack is a team. You wish to reduce the amount of lopsided games. In reality the amount of of lopsided losses that actually result from you playing against a COORDINATING stacked team is marginal. This while your proposed solution to this misintrepeted issue would kneecap the pvp experience further for both solo players and the casual fireteams. This is a bad idea and shouldn't be implemented.
-
While it would be nice, there are not enough people playing to allow this unfortunately.
-
Matchmaking times and connection quality already diabolic, they need to sort that out before they add any more playlists. Remember when they let you see the connection quality?
-
I think there should be a classic mix freelance option but everything else should remain the same.
-
Do you know most of the game you can leave whenever you want, end of the day we need to enjoy the game.
-
remember last season when the community asked for IB freelance? remember when cozmo said theyre looking into it? remember when they did nothing and laughed at the people who asked for it? truth be told. this wont happen soon. maybe someday but for now you just should avoid pvp as much as possible
-
So that sounds reasonable... Dear Bungie, double the number of cues for Crucible- also give it to me for free- and Nerf Hunters... totally reasonable!
-
I’ve played crucible many times where the majority of the opposing team was a clan and still managed to win. Freelance in comp is cool but everything else doesn’t really matter cause you’re just screwing around anyway
-
I don’t foresee this working outside of comp, or maybe IB. I feel like pinnacles, titles, and IB bounties are why freelance would work in these modes. I should also state that the change to freelance comp was a great addition IMO. The problem I see with regular modes, is people only team up in them to prevent wasting time, hangout to win as many as possible, or to stomp. Once they are only facing teams, the above benefits now happen less. To the point of most would just switch to the freelance. But that’s just my opinion, and wouldn’t be opposed to the idea.

3 RepliesNo PvP game has solo mode for everything, so your request is stupid. They already made comp freelance. Maybe u suck too much at PvP probably not playing at all would be good idea
