No Matchmaking? In game LFG? out of orbit, into the fight!
Deer Bungie, If you can't/won't give us [b][u]optional[/u][/b] matchmaking. Please consider an in game LFG function( could work well with in game grimoire *hint*) that can be accessed anywhere, in game, for any activity. [i]"optional"Matchmaking would be cool don't get me wrong[/i]. [b]key point is we need effecient and convenient in game grouping.[/b]
[b]Here's an example;[/b]
●[b][u]Bust out your ghost. Hit the d-pad. choose either Look for group/post group.[/u][/b]
● [b][u]Have filters for activities, checkpoints, guardian lvl and regions etc.[/u][/b]
● [b] [u]your guardian/fireteam inspect able player information will be auto posted for other guardians to inspect, along with the above filter options and some words of your choice.[/u][/b]
● [b][u]Choose a post. wait for acceptance. Join fire team. Play the game.[/u][/b] [i]If you and the fireteam hit it off, send out some friend requests.[/i]
[u]If this is possible[/u] It's just one of many possible solutions to a very real problem(refer to various posts and comments on the lack of grouping funtions for any and all activities inside the game). When this fixed, we can move on and together help shape a perfect destiny.
[b][u]To the players;[/u][/b] There is so much potential for destiny guardians! let's share as a community and support good ideas with the like button and a bump.[b] If you have good ideas share them here, and we will get you out of orbit and into the fight![/b]

Edited by Tymus_The_Wolf: 5/27/2015 10:38:25 PM[quote]I am posting for the first time in this forum in order to add my voice to this cause. I love love love playing Destiny, but the lack of matchmaking is a serious friggin' bummer. I'd like to make a point which seems to be eluding many of the dissenting voices: If you play this game, you will have good AND bad experiences, no matter how you go about finding a team to play with. Deal with it. Okay, now I am about to go on a rant. I'd like to address Deej's comment in particular: [i]We care. We just believe that social connections in the game make the overall experience better. There are many good applications for matchmaking in Destiny. Our designers feel very strongly that endgame activities rely on a team that is acquainted with itself.[/i] After reading this, I find myself even more exasperated with the no matchmaking decision. 'A team that is acquainted with itself'? This is a joke, right? How can anyone in their right mind say that finding a group of randoms on LFG is 'a team that is acquainted with itself'? Maybe Bungie should take it a step further, and not allow us to play the game we paid for, unless it's with people who have been on our friends list for at least (insert random length of time here)? You must be acquainted! No soup for you! I literally can't believe I just read that from the Bungie spokesperson. This is their excuse for no matchmaking? Let me tell you a story. I was excited for HOW. I really wanted to play Trials this past weekend. I decided to use the DestinyLFG site to find a group to play with, (seeing how using a third party site was my only option for playing the game I paid for) and I would just like to point out what should be glaringly obvious to everyone by now. I got paired with completely RANDOM people. We were not acquainted with each other. Using the LFG site, I was paired with people unknown to me, which is the exact same thing as if I had a game with matchmaking, and simply hit 'search' for a game. The only difference? I wasted a lot of time going through the motion of finding these randoms, proving that I was dedicated! All so I could appease Bungie, and play the game that I paid for. I tried to make it work. I made my LFG post specific. I read that Trials uses connection to determine fireteams matched against each other. So, I let people know about my general geographic location in my LFG post, hoping that maybe the site would work, and I would get local players to me, and a good connection. I live in the good 'ol US of A. The guys who responded to that LFG post? They live in Australia. Again, for people who need it repeated, completely RANDOM people. I see a lot of comments here saying 'but wait until you use matchmaking and get paired with someone who quits on you!' Guess what? That's exactly what happened to me with one of the groups I found on LFG. I got a fireteam together with two guys who happened to post on LFG at the same time I posted. We were getting our asses kicked in Trials, and one of these guys from the wonderful world of LFG decided to up and quit on us. So, please spare us this ridiculous argument, it has no merit. Was the entire LFG experience a bust? No. I had some good times. I got destroyed in Trials, but I met two really cool guys from across the pond who carried me through a level 34 POE. I'm now a rank 34, yay! Which leads us back around to my first point. It's very simple, people. If you play this game, you will have good AND bad experiences, no matter how you go about finding a team to play with. Bungie, for the sake of everything that is good in this world, give us matchmaking. Give us options to play the game we love.[/quote]by: caddyshack
