i think this needs it but from the other side the option to add matchmaking on those strikes that currently dont have it, players like me who dont have many RL or online friends playing D2, struggle to then do strikes which dont have matchmaking options

[quote]They don't need to... Because strikes have Guardains working together to do the mission. Now the only people who want matchmaking for strikes are people who are going AFK with a rubber band on their controler[/quote] No. people who want optional matchmaking for strikes are the ones that want to run the strike solo or with just 1 friend and not have a random player interfere with what they want to do. I have to change the date and time on my console to do strikes solo. If we had a locked fireteam option like we had for the haunted Forrest that would be cool and appreciated by guardians.

Why would you want to be solo unless you aren't doing the strike and are either farming lost sectors or doing bounties. If you are farming lost sectors, you deserve to be kicked. If you are doing bounties... they arent that difficult at all with randoms.

Why wouldn't I ? It's a fun solo activity. No need for other guardians to mess up your fun or what you are trying to accomplish like they do in patrol and public events

Do I really have to explain... Ok so some weapon bounties and pinnacles need you to get X kills in strikes and people go into strikes and farm lost sector adds. I am WELL aware of the fact you are able to go in patrol to access them. Secondly strikes are built for a team. That's kinda the deal with them

No pinnacles require you get kills with certain weapons. Yes daily bounties from banshee do however they can be completed anywhere. If people do go into lost sectors during strikes then wouldn t the option of a locked fireteam solve the issue people have with this? Strikes are 3 man activities that in my opinion are more fun running solo. If it's with friends then it's ok. But to me it's more fun running strikes solo than with random player's. Hence why I would love to have a locked fireteam option like we had in the haunted Forrest for planetary strikes and the strike playlist.

1. Yeah they don't, but people still farm them in strikes. 2. Strikes are meant to be for 3 Guardains working together, taking that way wouldn't make it more fun or improve it. 3. Random can be annoying but that's what happens, to them you are the annoying person as well. 4. If you want to have fun, go for it. Just stop getting mad when a blueberry joins the strike as well and does his thing, indirectly getting in your way. Its meant to be for 3 Guardains, the higher the difficulty, the more you need them. As they are a challenge... Adding a firewall to stop other players won't do anything. Plus... Strikes are easy regardless and randoms who farm or afk usually get booted. They should add a vote to kick option.

I think I have a better idea than anybody else what is fun to me. I would have to be an idiot to try and tell you what you find or don't find fun even though you just told me what you do find fun. 3. Which is considered an issue. Which is easily solved by having the option to go in with a locked fireteam. 4. I do have fun. No one joins my strikes as I play on PlayStation and can do strikes solo. Having the option for a locked fireteam can allow other to have the same fun I do if they are on other platforms and allows me to simply select the option instead of having to adjust date and time on my console. Yes strikes are easy, hence why it's a fun solo activity to kill space aliens.

If you want to have fun. Do what you are doing now. They aren't going to impliment a matchmaking toggle for some players to run strikes solo. Seriously they aren't doing that. I have no issue at all having fun with random. Whether I'm using wacky load outs or just chilling out and having fun. Random don't take away from that unless they are purposely being a he's and that is Rare. So to conclude, it won't happen. You said you run strikes solo with that method. Just do that.
