Yeah, we are the 0.3%! With the way clans work atm, I can't imagine that getting too high.

Still looking for a team? We got spots open for Raid Hard Mode.
Nice. :3
I would rather have a Gorgon on my desk than Dinklebot tbh.
Bungie dropped the ball.

Yeah, there's really no point to take one out save for the card.
I agree, since both are combined and maybe some days I focus on Vanguard stuff and others PvP, either way it doesn't matter it's all funneled to the same place. And when you're doing Nightfall and Weeklys it all adds up.
I would definitely recommend fresh characters focus on getting at least the Vanguard to Rank 3 before you choose a faction so as to not waste those marks. I am probably going to wait to hit 3 with the Crucible too before I choose a faction on my alt characters as well though.
Yeah but what does that mean? They put on glasses or just become harder to kill the next time??

Well the path I take only really has 1 to get past so taking him out can help, but it's no where close to necessary.
Since when did matchmaking = no mic?

Getting fatigued playing the same missions and strikes over again on the same maps. I'm not really into the grind (nor do I have the time being a father).
This game is starting to fall flat for me unfortunately, I really had high hopes. Crucible is awesome, but something feels slightly unbalanced about it so not sure how long I could rock it.

Despite the difficultly of it, it should be an option. The idea would be to allow you to find people who you work well with here and there. Friend those people, then create your own group. There is no hub city to chat with people in the game to do this otherwise. You could make the argument that strikes could serve the same purpose, but not at the difficulty level you can matchmake at.

Speaking of PSO (where I got my username from), when a red box dropped, you knew you were getting a rare.

Yep, I'd like to get to 28. Currently at 27 about half way to 28. I got them from the queen's gear while that worked, but then I got a better hood and robe from her missions (Intelect and Discipline, hood with a bonus charge of super from non guardian kills) and had already spent quite a few of the ones I received on my previous gear when they removed the shards from dismantling her gear, so I couldn't max out any of my armor.
Do public events give out many shards? I seem to only get 1 from the first event every day, and many times it gives me ass energy instead.
So who are you running the raid with?
Gaffers are probably better than most, but its still randoms
The LFG site isnt the answer. I say at least the heroic strikes should have matchmaking.

All of this is 100% true. I mostly agree with fact that Weekly and Nightfall Strikes need to have matchmaking. They're all basically the same fucking Strikes we've placed before with just different difficulty modifiers.
With Raids I feel like it's still a different story when it comes to matchmaking. From what I've seen it looks like it'd be a pain in the ass if there is barely communication going on between the party members. If anything, should be mandatory that you use a mic or whatever when doing it. I'm basically saying it's a Raid. It is exactly what I thought it would be but I'm slowly accepting the fact I may never play it ever.
It still feels like we're starting to get a bit of I guess hubris from Bungie where they seem really deadset on players playing their game the way they want the players to play the game and most people are going "Well fuck you I want to play it the way I want to play it" and that means Bungie did something wrong. For fucks sake if I have to randomly find people online to play with because I "have to" to do Bungie's repetitive game modes then they might as well put in matchmaking anyway
Raids require two things that matchmaking can't provide:
1. Commited players
2. Mics
The second will be fixed in a future patch as announced for all mm activities, but the first never will
In the future, when raiders have moved on to new raid content and the average player has levelled to a point where the VoG becomes a lot easier, then it would make sense to consider mm.
Right now, it requires too much commitment for your average mm user. I see too many people bail on easy strikes to know how featuring the mm experience would be.
If you don't have the commitment to add people in game and have conversations to arrange raid groups, then how can you be expected to try and try again at content that can potentially take many hours for new groups?
People say "give it to us anyway, if we use it it won't hurt you". It actually might, as if everyone could access the content on a whim they would probably flood the forums calling for difficulty nerfs.
Also, we have a large pool of players actively looking for organised and committed groups, add mm and you would reduce that pool considerably.
Mm is fun for stuff that doesn't require team work.
What would actually be great would be a way to flag yourself in game as "looking for raid group", or add yourself to an in game board advertising that fact.
Paring with strangers this way is entirely different to just clicking a mm on a whim as it requires effort and time, both of which are required for the actual raid content.
If you can't handle that, how do you expect to handle the raid?
-
Mm for NF and daily heroic would be fine imo, they're mostly gear checks and don't require any real advanced tactics. However, I'd prefer that they wait for mic support to so this as NF especially does require some communication in some of the more hectic encounters.

Still no exotics, but finally at least have legendaries in all armor slots and hit 27 last night. Have a shadow price I got from hiring vanguard level 3 as well.
Haven't tried the raid yet. Haven't had the time to commit when friends were doing it so far and wanted to hit at least 27 first.

I'd really like a patrol in the raid area. There is allot of map in there! Kind of sucks most of it that I have seen is empty.
Damn that boss. We got him down pretty low several times but everything went to hell when the 2x harpy spawns started. Was really frustrating. I was pretty much on door gate duty so I really couldn't do much but clear the immediate gate area, I think we needed a better strat for his final enrage phase.
Probably breeze through it next time when everyone is fresh.
Not sure my plan after I clear the raid. Maybe take my guy to 30 or start a hunter.

That's what I'm doing. Almost rank 3 with Crucible and almost rank 2 with Vanguard. No tokens left for crucible and almost maxed at 200 with Vanguard. Was hoping to hit 3 before I maxed but that doesn't seem likely to happen.
I still have blue guns and was hoping to spend the tokens on those.
Yeah this is true, I have no idea what a gorgon is but I will avoid them....
Only half way through playlist
Yeah I guess it will happen, I mean I did beat the library in under 30 mins and without any deaths so anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
Although I suppose a lot of you are against it, I wish we had DLC coming sooner than December, after playing one raid, I want more, I need more.
Bungie really got the raids right, Matchmaking raids on the other hand is a bad idea, you need a solid team all with mics and adding a randomness factor into the mix would make it so much harder.
Oh interesting, didn't know it was that low. And yes, compared to how Bungie implemented clans in HALO 2, Destiny is a real shame.
Sent a request for nightfall PSN: nunayabiznis
Lol a rare from a nightfall - that's trolling to the max.
Also, is it looking like the patch won't come out today? Though, I don't know the time patches come out normally.
I seriously regret making that call last night. I get no joy from helping you lol
I think they mean a Legendary Engram that decrypted to a rare. I've not heard of actual straight rare items being rewarded in NF.
Yea, it's basically matchmaking the old fashion way. And randoms from LFG aren't reliable since they'll drop out if we die too much but who cares. If we had proper matchmaking, people can join in the empty slots. Our team leader literally spent 30 min trying to get two guys to fill in our party of 4. I managed to invite one friend after a random left during Templar section.
Chest rewards - no
Boss rewards - yes
As far as I know, it's the same old shit.

Yeh screw it I'll give it a try. Lvl 29 Hunter same username as gaf name
I have had people who joined my fireteam through the LFG site just drop out, too
I already said raids might be pushing it, but I dont get why we cant just matchmake the heroic stuff.
Not everybody who plays Destiny posts here, or raids/heroics with RL friends.
By using LFG site, and to some extent here, you are match making with randoms.
I agree with you on the mic situation. It's a roadblock, which I'm sure Bungie anticipated. It's a conundrum, not everyone will be pleased.
It's shame that so many people will miss out on the endgame content. I guarantee you, not everyone has an expansive friends list, or actively seeks clans.

I was really hoping for a clan list within the game separate from the friends list. I have no clue who from Destiny Gaf NA East 3 is on, if any.....
go to orbit during the countdown. (if its a bounty)

Oh yeh, it's still horrible. Thankfully the incoming patch will help.
Easier to be in the main GAF group and just kinda branch out from there. Everything is so clustered now.
At least I contributed something meaningful ... who am I kidding, I contributed nothing.
