The Raid Needs Matchmaking!
It's all well and good to have five friends who play Destiny--most of us do--, but having five friends who also made it through the tedious and boring grind through lvl 24 - 26 is another thing. I also find it funny that Bungies' excuse for the lack of Raid matchmaking is that they only want dedicated raiders, when anyone from the public can enter the start of your Raid session from Patrol. So, I ask that we are at the very least give the option to MM for Raids.
If you're dedicated to raiding, you're going to be using the dedicated Raid lobby. A lot of Bungie's decisions don't make any sense.

Edited by iDisiple: 9/17/2014 2:20:44 AMAgree. Make it an option. For all the ppl against it, don't use it if you are afraid of baddies. For some ppl though, adding MM will be the only way they get to see the raid and it will be crazy useful for times like when you have a group of 5 and just need one more person

2 Repliesnot just Raids, Heroic Strikes need matchmaking even more because those i can actually do right now at level 22. i cant even hope to make it to a raid if i cant level up my light by doing heroic strikes with people. even if i HAD 5 friends to play with, there is no chance we could all be on at the same time to play a raid. its ridiculous that bungie thinks we are all millionaire stay-at-home bachelors with tons of free time that we can play on a moments notice. im sure even teenagers would have a hard time finding people on a given hour to play with.

Agreed

Only normal

I think the whole point is to join a clan or group which is really easy.

1 ReplyI, like many before me, agree wholeheartedly. I have several friends that play Destiny, but few of us are ever all on at the same time for the same length of time that can dedicate our time to this. We have to jump through hoops to get friends (posting 'Add me' threads, Matchmaking websites, Facebook groups, etc.) Meanwhile, you have vast gaming companies like IGN who can just designate six folk ("You six. Go raid!") to play it through until the end and they get recognized or celebrated or whatnot? It's unfair to the little guys like us in my opinion. Sorry if this post or thought process is unpopular, but seriously. I paid $100+ for the game. I'd like to be able to access all the content without going to an outside source. (Off topic: Many feel this way about the Grimoire cards too. Even Mass Effect let you read the lore in-game.)

7 RepliesEdited by Fragzilla360: 9/16/2014 5:32:24 PMSome of these comments.... I can't believe what i'm reading. People are actually arguing AGAINST grouping up with other people to play this game. I just can't believe how incredibly selfish and immature some of these gamers are. For the life of me I don’t see how people you don’t even know going into matchmaking to do raids or heroic strikes would “kill” this game. If anything it will increase the number of players actually PLAYING the game because people would actually be able to access it. Raids wouldn’t work because of randoms coming and going? Let me worry about that. Because it won’t affect you in the slightest. How about the time these “randoms” and I got together and found out we gel perfectly? Opportunities like that are not even able to present themselves right now because there is no way to even communicate outside of sending a blank fire team request and hoping for a response.

Also, everyone needs to try destinylfg.net for help getting a raid together.

The raid does not need matchmaking right now. It's brand new, hard as hell, and not everyone knows the strategy. Having to manually set up a raid party acts like a barrier to stop people from going before they're ready. If there was matchmaking there would be dudes without mics messing up runs and coordination would go out the window. Once the strategies are well known they may put it matchmaking, who knows, but for now matchmaking isn't needed.

8 RepliesThis game needs match making bad, people like myself who enjoy games but is not interested in finding friends just to play certain modes is being restricted from game content which I have paid for. No mention on the box saying need 5 regular online friends to play certain content in game, btw thanks for your 50quid.
-
All my friends play on xbox. I'm ps4 so I'm kinda screwed with raids lol.
-
If you don't have 5 friends that know exactly what to do you won't make it. Look at my friends it took them over 10 hours to complete it even though they had perfect teamwork. Raid matchmaking just wouldn't make sence in my opinion :P
-
Either this or nerd the raid
-
Agreed all needs matchmaking not only raids

Edited by Kybela: 9/17/2014 10:29:50 AMUntil yesterday I agreed to you. Today, three hours into the raid, I don't anymore. It's just not possible with randoms. Someone always screws it up and my experience with randoms is: they get pissed, start flaming, leave and ruin the experience of everyone. I know it's bad from Bungie not implementing an ingame chat at the tower where you can just ask for groups, but the raid is like nothing I have ever seen. Everything shoots at you. I mean like even the walls are -blam!-ing death traps if you don't pay attention. The mechanics are so crazy and hard, no one with a random team can ever pull off. I am not the kind of type that favors keeping people without a group out of content. But I understand why they made it that way. I think they should just lower the people limit to 4-6, scaling the mechanics to the number of players...

Agreed

Agreed i have 2 friends not 6

1 ReplyThank you for the thread. I agree this needs to be done. I have odd work hours where my friends are sleeping while im working and vice versa. So it would be great to have this so I could actually play what I paid for.
-
I agree. You don't want to use matchmaking? Then don't use it. But for the rest of us who aren't fortunate enough to have friends that play the game, or that play at the same time I do, we dont get to experience the content we paid for? So instead implementing the tools that are already there ( MM for strikes and PVP ) and using it for raids, I have to jump through hoops to get a raid party going?

1 ReplyI agree. The no mic support for PvP and Raids is ridiculous to me. I have friends that play, but they are more casual gamers, and I'm a much higher level. I wouldn't want them on my raid, and they don't always play when I'm available to play. I wanted to do a raid, but found out there was no matchmaking, so it was impossible to do on my own. That, in effect, ruined a large part of the game for me, and hurts me as a player because it greatly limits my ability to gain better equipment from doing those raids. If I got stuck with some idiots, that fine, I'd at least have a better chance to go further than I could on my own in the first place. Plus, with mic support, we'd have a better chance of going somewhere with communication.

Please add matchmaking heck wow does it for there raids
-
I agree. Game needs better clan tools and eliminating matchmaking from raids and weekly strikes is just proof of poor game design. Like someone said, let risk of quitters or poor communicators be MY problem, otherwise actually provide better tools for clans in-game. I don't want to leave the game to schedule clan activities for example. Make sign up charts in-game at some sort of clan clubhouse or something. Jeez, Test Drive Unlimited had features like these years ago.
-
Everything needs an optional matchmaker...
-
Agreed! We really need some matchmaking for raids. Also the entire system of how to assemble a fireteam is just so broken! I saw my friends list grow with 600% since this game started and I have no idea who is who anymore. Finding someone in the list to "Start" to play with just became horrible. Please get this fixed

1 ReplyI agree the raid need matchmaking. The only person i can play PS4 games with is my cousin and 2 people does not a raid team make. Besides that as has been said I have a job and a life I don't have time to try to wrangle 5 people to run a raid and still have time to actually play it.
