Party Finder, in-game lfg and matchmaking is coming during this year.

The in-game LFG is but they haven’t said anything about matchmaking for things like dungeons. If they have care to cite a source?

You mean like auto instance? No one knows what the party finder will look like yet... there may be some concept screenshots, but nothing finalized has been revealed yet. Find the links yourself... they're out there. But yes, it's assumed the party finder is specifically being added to match people for raids, dungeons, gms.... Will it have auto instancing? I think it might, otherwise why do it... how will it be better than discord, or Xbox live lfg... ? Probably might look something like WoWs system... where players and hosts can set parameters and then be auto instanced into a party. With both private and public posts and filters to browse for both players and hosted instances of a particular type. I think that's the plan, though no confirmations. I do believe auto instancing can work too, because of featured raids and the rotator... It might be harder/take longer for other endgame stuff... but rotator lobbies for PvE stuff, especially because encounters and loot drops are farm'able... I think it will work with auto instancing.

[quote]We think that a truly first-class LFG system won’t be perfect until we can see how our players use it, but we want to make sure that the initial launch still has a ton of features that will allow players to find a fireteam inside of Destiny. This means a Fireteam Finder that you can queue up for from anywhere in the game. The ability to tag your posts with keywords to describe the kind of group you’re running and the kind of people you’re looking to recruit. The option to create groups where folks can join automatically, allowing you to get right into the action. And the power to create groups where you as a leader can approve or deny each person trying to join up, giving you tight control over the kind of group you’re putting together.[/quote] They stated that they’re adding an in-game LFG which is exactly what is available on the app currently. The sole difference being that players will no longer have to go out of game to join or create groups. That doesn’t equate to matchmaking for any activity.
