From last week, 90% of heroics I joined was at the final boss. What does that tell you? People quit and find another match. I'm a day 1 destiny player and i still disagree with matchmaking for end game.

  • Because people were severely underleveled and were also caught by surprise. I was 335 in heroic Pyramidion and dropped right at the boss. It was a learning experience for sure but after a few wipes we(randoms)got it. After light levels rise heroic strikes will feel almost just like before but somedays they will be harder and somedays a little easier because of the modifiers. People should remember to take time to adapt and allow others time to adapt too.

  • Yes but you're missing the point. I'm talking in a generic way not about heroics last week specifically. Players will easily join and leave if matchmaking was present in all content. That would be an issue for someone who actually wants to finish an activity. pre-determined fireteams solves this because of the requirements of the fireteam leader. Now with that said, I don't mind an upgraded version of the guided games because it's kind of dead now.

  • Thats why you implement OPTIONAL matchmaking, if you have your team, go...if you mm, you deal with the possible repercussions. How does that in anyway prove a detriment to anyone, all bases are covered

  • They did add it, its called guided games. Failed miserably.

  • Guided games are not matchmaking, guides games are their idea of a sherpa, and the wait time is inexcusable Why would optional matchmaking be an issue if you want to use it ..go, if you have your team already established its a non issue, wheres the problem beyond your own personal preference For a "social co op" game, bungie puts way too many speedbumps in front of the social aspect

  • I don’t see them adding optional mm. Bungie will either make it always mm or leave how it is. They have never been good at giving people options.

    WHY is this excuse still used? IF said person was afraid of people dropping out , you know what they can do ?! MAKE THEIR OWN FIRETEAM! Why are elitist always so adamant at trying to prove Matchmaking should not be in the game? It's an option, and it's great, i still don't get why Nightfall can't be open Matchmaking ala Heroic Strikes, hell the Heroics are harder and I've enjoyed them using matchmaking. Bottom line : Matchmaking is good for people who don't want the BS hassle of external apps, and the elitist people can opt to NOT use it if they choose....

  • Im not an elitist. Im simply pointing the current situation. I enjoy solo play as well. It's impossible with the current situation though.

  • There is a very easy solution! A player could "block player X". The blocked player can no longer join games started by players who have blocked him/her. It is all about design and how you fine tune systems. Also, a matchmaking system will act as a stepping stone for friend invites and clans. Also, if you only go in with a performed fireteam no matchmaking grievances will ever touch you.

  • That you get your milestone quicker? 😂 Don’t get me wrong, first week I had a few like that as well, but seems better this week as people are closer to 350 light.

  • Yes you are actually right I enjoyed joining final boss encounters. I stayed and we'd beat it most of the time. I can see normal nightfall not being an issue now with having match making because they took the timers off. but matchmaking for other end game content (prestige NF, trials, raids) will be a horrible idea.

  • Hmmm, is this the same forum? Distinct lack of toxicity and signs of rational debate 😱

  • I’d give it go on prestige nightfall, there must be competent solo’s out there. Can’t speak from experience but from what I’ve heard you’re quite right about Raid and Trials. To be honest I actually disagree with a lot of the OP! I’m enjoying the harder grind, don’t have a problem that raiding will level people quicker, as many have said before, the tools are there for all of us. Do think heroics should give 1 legendary at a bit above current light level though. Make some strike exclusive loot and solo’s should never be stuck with something to do again.
