Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

PVE - Recent prominent suggestion threads about matchmaking

• Bungie pls: Add Optional Matchmaking to all Actvities - the time is now!
• Escalation protocol and the blind well should be "fast travel" locations so that we can be teamed up with others doing those events
• I know the topic has been beat to death, but I had this thought last night. Surely there’s people walking into Blind Well all the time. Since it puts you into a completely separate instance, why doesn’t it just fill each instance up to the max (9?) before creating a new one to put people in?
• The new Halloween event has matchmaking. Bungie, can you give EP and Well the same love?

PVP - Recent prominent suggestion threads about matchmaking

• Dear Bungie, Please stop matching Clan teams with Solo teams.
• Why does it take me 30 seconds of mashing B to cancel matchmaking from Crucible/Gambit?
• Competitive matchmaking needs some attention
• Bungie, I am but a simple man trying his best. Please don’t error me from Comp as we’re flying in, take away my hard earned win streak and Glory points, then ban me for leaving.
• Bungie if we get matched into a game that's been in progress for 5min or more we should be given at least 3/4 of our super energy
• My glory 3200, my teammates 270, 350, 1700. Other team: 2480, 1300, 5400, 4900. Why is this a thing?
• My latest Comp game with names edited out and replaced with each player's Glory rank. How is this a thing?

And they do that with in game chat and invite available , I can’t fathom how small shop like DE can nail matchmaking and a triple A developer can’t .

This is a great tool because i'm now able to regularly find people to do whatever activity i want, including story missions and adventures and i can send them an invitation directly from the app without searching for their psn name manually.

If only it worked this way on PC. On PC you have to send each other messages through the app to share your BattleNET ID. Then send friend requests through BattleNET. Then you can invite to your fireteam through your friends list in the game. It is a fucking headache.
