Hey there.
Since there are so many complaints about matchmaking not being implemented for the raid, I thought it'd be great to know how many of you can or can not play the raid tomorrow. Vote if you want.
Edit: Third party group finders are excluded. Point of the poll is to find out who is able to play it right away, without spending extra time on finding a group. And since lfg basically is matchmaking with randoms (that takes more time and with some random standards that have to be met) we'll not include it in the poll.

It’ll be like destiny. I know people don’t like having to use a 3rd party to find groups, but I could find a raid to join usually within 10-20min except during early morning hours. And even then I could usually manage to hook up with some Aussie groups in a reasonable amount of time. We’ll be okay people.Originally Posted by STiLLALiVEDE Go to original post
I hated doing that even for Destiny. Will I be doing that for this lesser game? No way jose.Originally Posted by BioXTC Go to original post
I probably could play with my group except I don't want to play this game - the game simply isn't fun anymore, and not having the ability for MM is simply going to kill this game. Sure I had fun with levelling up my chars, but with the way the build system is so convoluted, skills, skillpower, mods, lack of grindable loot etc.and they are continually ignoring what the real community is saying it will be rubbish for at least the next 6 months until they make real changes. IMO they need to revert some of the systems back towards the way they were in the original. No matchmaking for the Raid is going to seriously hurt this game.
Speaking of Destiny, lucky Destiny 2 has new content in a fortnight, give me something enjoyable to play. God I can't wait until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out, it seems every game that gets released is an utter disappointment.
Probably not. I've raided in WoW and Destiny and Destiny 2, but for destiny and D2 it was all through the same clan which consisted of 30+ people I knew IRL. No one I know IRL plays this game, the clan I'm in for TD2 is now dead out of the full roster I've been the only one to log in since the patch... out of a full clan roster. We haven't had enough players playing to even earn clan caches.
Now the raid drops with no matchmaking and the minutiae style grind has not got any better and then the only new loot is in the raid. My build works well enough for all other content, I don't need to perfect it for the raid since I'll be one of the 98% that never completes it, so the game is practically dead to me now.
Disappointed for sure, I understand the no matchmaking decision... raids fail often enough without matchmaking catered pug raids, but with no other gear related content or changes actually convincing me that I'll feel rewarded for spending time in the game I feel at a loss for motivation to even try to participate in the raid at all.
I hope it's a good experience, but I give it 2 weeks before the people who even play the raid get sick of it, because that tends to be the maximum life span of anything UBI does to this game before it blows up in their face.
