I spent an hour or so getting to Skolas. Then another 3 hours at Skolas. Then I had to go. Cmon Bungie, why the -blam!- are there no checkpoints in PoE😀 At least make a checkpoint every other round. This is freaking bullshit and makes me not want to do PoE. I rather Bungie put checkpoints in then matchmaking...
My theory.
The reason we do not have matchmaking in raids is due to the year one raid schema... Checkpoints.....
I believe that the matchmaking they currently does not have the ability to parameterize checkpoints.
Being a tripA developer tho they cannot admit to this short coming in their development. Thus the "philosophy" was born.
Now what does that have to do with PoE [b]not[/b] having check points?
I'm glad you asked.
Bungie thought giving PoE 28 matchmaking would placate the pro matchmaking masses. But ultimately removed their ability to out checkpoints in 32-34-35 because again, schema.
Bungie cannot fight their framework. They're bound by rules of their design and unfortunately their design has flaws.
