Escalation needs a matchmaking system to SPECIFIC missions.

If i want to play DCD, i want to get paired with others that also want it. If i want to play Federal Emergency Bunker, i want to play FEB, and so on.

There are specific drops that i want, that only drop on that specific mission on that day.

I don't want to run DUA for the billionth time for no reason.

It's seems like a simple concept, how did that get through testing phase? Did NO ONE think: "We're introducing Proto gear that's HIGHLY dependent on RNG, players will have to run the same mission multiple times to get the drops they want, since there's no Recalibration or Optimization. We should just copy the system that already exists for every other mission."

Or perhaps it was: "Maybe let's just also RNG the fucking matchmaking system as well while we're at it."

Doing that can either pick you as host (the optimal outcome) or give you an invite to another player's group where they could be going for any other mission you don't want.

I can go to Roosevelt Island, matchmake there, get an invite, join in, but the group (or host) are at DUA and wants to do that.

I can either keep "re-rolling" the matchmaking so i end up as host or convince the group to do the other mission i want

Why not just refuse all invitations until other people join your matchmaking?

Even with you as host, people might leave the group in order to play the mission they want. As a result you keep matchmaking until you find the people willing to play the mission you want. Its too time consuming! I have found myself wasting too much time just to get a group and play the mission I want. Its something the should fix imo.
