Then allow public matchmaking. Bungie seems to have a hatred for solo players and public matchmaking for higher difficulty activities. Its ridiculous that even some exotic quests require you to go through a modified strike, no matchmaking for it. Cant do dungeons, or higher tier Ordeals. Funny how that many of these quests and triumphs require 100,000 points for nightfalls but you cant do them via matchmaking.

100K NF is also a pinnacle source. Outside of iron banner, no pinnacle source has matchmaking, and for good reason.

True, and those non-pinnacle activities have matchmaking, which helps solo players. If you want pinnacle rewards, you do pinnacle activities, which require making a fire team.

Exactly.

Its also insulting to lock pinnacles sources (other than raids) to only PVP So much so that they had to change things and are adding more pinnacles sources accessible to everyone.

[quote]Its also insulting to lock pinnacles sources (other than raids) to only PVP So much so that they had to change things and are adding more pinnacles sources accessible to everyone.[/quote] Majority of pinnacle sources are pve based.

PVE with no matchmaking. So you are actually forced to look off-game to an LFG which is just another form of matchmaking that actually takes longer and you get about the same result as normal matchmaking.

Pinnacle power is only helpful in the activities that reward pinnacle power. This is not a solo player game. The hardest activities don’t work with matchmaking.

"If you don’t want to do them then don’t." See, thats the thing I actually do want to do them I just dont feel like having to beat my head against a wall to solo it, or wait an hour and a half for someone on LFG to respond to a post. "The hardest activities don’t work with matchmaking." Then why bother having LFG boards? Because thats what LFG is, matchmaking. Id rather have the opportunity to matchmake and fail than to be completely locked out of an activity.

Go try a raid with a bunch of randoms using random Loadouts and who don’t talk. Matchmaking on activities that are not comparable only leads towards the activity being made easier. Not every activity needs to cater towards you. This game isn’t designed to be done completely solo.
-
"Its not random" "LFG takes 5 minutes" It literally is random. You dont know these people. As for taking 5 minutes, ive sat on LFG for over an hour trying to get a nightfall together before. So I dont know what magical LFG you use but the LFGs ive been to do NOT take 5 minutes. "Not compatible" according to who? This is just elitism.

Many difficult activities don’t have matchmaking because it wouldn’t work well. High level ordeals and dungeons are perfect examples.
-
They said the exact same thing with Heroic strikes, and The Reckoning Tier 3. Both proven wrong. They also said the same thing about nightfalls, but what do we have? Ordeals. People can handle higher difficulty challenges. Its even more insulting that they lock exotic items behind doing these activities. Hey, want that Malfeasance? Dont have a fireteam? Solo it or tough luck. Its irritating and insulting.

Solo it or tough luck. Its irritating and insulting.[/quote] Heroic strikes and reckoning both always had matchmaking. Low level ordeals are significantly easier than upper level ordeals and the old nightfalls. The strikes tied to exotic weapons are not hard activities and are easily soloable. The game is not completely designed for solo players or people who play with others. There’s something for everyone. If you truly don’t like playing with others, then this is not the best genre of game for you.

"the strikes tied to exotic weapons are not hard activities and are easily soloable." Malfeasance quest. "Darkness in the Light" Did you solo it? Ask anyone who did solo it how easy it was.

[quote]"the strikes tied to exotic weapons are not hard activities and are easily soloable." Malfeasance quest. "Darkness in the Light" Did you solo it? Ask anyone who did solo it how easy it was.[/quote] I have soloed it. Twice actually. Once on my account and once on a friends account. It was no harder than the thorn strike or Izinagi’s strike.
-
"On a friends account" So you had to do it for a friend because he/she couldnt do it? Not everyone is as good as you are. Not everyone is as lucky as you are.

Not everyone is as lucky as you are.[/quote] I did the entire quest for him. He’s lazy, not bad at the game. I’m not better than anyone else nor can I be anyone else. It was easy for me and easy for pretty much everyone I know.
-
"It was easy for me and easy for pretty much everyone I know." Im glad it was easy for YOU. But for a lot of us, it isnt easy. Go to Esoterickks video where he solo's it, you'll see TONS of comments about how hard it was, how some of them gave up on the quest all together. The only reason it was difficult to them was because they had to do it solo.

Not everything can be or should be designed for solo players.
-
"It’s even easier now since it’s no longer a high level. It everything can be or should be designed for solo players." People to this day cant solo it. "Ive solo'd it, therefore anyone can" this is pure elitism.

"Ive solo'd it, therefore anyone can" this is pure elitism.[/quote] I don’t think you know what elitism is. There’s nothing in the strike that makes it harder than a normal or heroic strike. If you can’t or don’t want to solo it, bring a team. This is primarily a team based game after all. Not everything has to be designed for you.
-
"If you can’t or don’t want to solo it, bring a team." Uhm, you realize that was part of the reason i brought up public matchmaking in exotic quests right? "This is primarily a team based game after all." Yes it is, which is why they have matchmaking allowing to team up with others. "Not everything has to be designed for you." But apparently it has to be designed around YOU. I find it rather strange you are against matchmaking because you probably have your own group whom you do high level stuff right? So why should you care. Which is why I said this strikes me as elitism. "Only we, those with groups can do these activities, not you, the solo player."

It’s not elitism to understand that some activities won’t work with matchmaking. I literally couldn’t care less about the strikes in exotic quests because they’re one time activities and are easy to do. Almost every activity can be done solo. Just because something is hard to solo doesn’t mean it should have matchmaking. Look at the dungeon for example. It was designed to be done with a premade team, but it can be done entirely solo. Very few activities require teams without giving an option to be soloed.
