I feel as tho this needs to be changed. You have to hope 5 other friends are on and that they have destiny and that they are willing to put the time required into these several hour long raids. I think it needs a matchmaking system. I get it needs cooperation to play but I'd rather have a sucky team every once in a while then to not ever even get to play them. N97
Edit: listen some people are all for how it is now but others want an option. If you have the friends for it then by all means play with just them but others want an option. What if you only have four other friends on? This way you don't have to beg and plead a friend to hop on. You can simply find one person through matchmaking.
Edit: I'm for it and I don't think it would nerf anything. Hear me out. They already have different difficulty levels for raids. Now on halo they had easy normal heroic legendary. Of course they didn't expect the casual gamers to complete legendary or heroic that's why easy and normal is in place. People didn't cry for legendary to be nerfed simply bc of course it's hard they know that there's no reason to cry about it being to difficult when it's simply a fact hard is freaking hard. Just my opinion of course

28 RespuestasNot a fan of matchmaking for raids. A raid will take a ton of planning and preparation. Not only will you need to be leveled to the appropriate level, but you'll need top level gear (something most people know). What most people don't take into account is the type of weapons you'll need and the elements that go along with those weapons. The raid will almost assuredly require different types of elements in your weapons to be successful. Someone will need a sniper rifle, someone else a shotgun, someone a fusion rifle, someone else a rocket launcher, and someone else will need a heavy machine gun. Oh, and the weapons will need to be leveled up with all their perks too. Random parties won't be able to coordinate this very well (especially if they don't have a headset. All of this, in addition to teamwork. Some random may be helpful and even a great player, but it's better to work with someone you're comfortable with and know how they'll approach a situation than with a random (even if the random is better). Basically, just having played together before will give you a huge advantage. These aren't things you can get with a random party. Maybe you'll get some of them, but I don't think just some of these things should be necessary to be successful in a raid.
