Hopefully they include all the weekly heroics/daily heroics as well, yes it's better with friends but not everyone is always on at the same times/days.
Herp derp but everyone on here has mics!

Pretty much sums up the game but like you I am still having fun with mates on it. Not sure I would enjoy as much just on my own though.
I'm sure I will get £30 worth of enjoyment out of it.
Still not sure what I'm doing but I'm only L13
Just got my hunter to 20, then within 20 seconds i'm lv25. That took me over 2 days playtime with my first character
I wish there was a way to do strikes on my own, im having so many problems with disconnecting recently and I only want to run through the low level strikes for bounties. I get to near the end and I have to keep starting over again and again and again......... If bungie had any sense they would try to reconnect you to the game you were just booted from before putting you in with another group so you have to repeat the same process.

WoW is the most casual MMO on the market, ever since Wrath of the Lich King everything became a skill-less AoE-fest.
Going casual "killed" WoW for many players (myself included).
I'm glad that the raid in Destiny is strategically difficult and requires teamwork and communication to complete. I hope it stays that way and they don't add a Raid Finder tool because that would mean they would have to lower the difficulty of the raid.
Bungie stated many times during pre-release that they were not expecting everyone to be able to clear the raid in Destiny, and that they were ok with that.

Not if they have done something but the free mic works surpringly well now.
But I just got a cheap ps one. £9.99 I think. Works fine.

I don't see why adding a raid finding tool would decrease the difficulty, just means you don't have to miss out if you don't schedule the game into your life.
Because you'll drop in with randoms who if they decide to leave because of some impass or something (guaranteed to happen in the VoG) you'll have to quit out and rematch make and guess what a new set of randoms to deal with...and repeat...
Have they done it before?
Have they got a mic?
Do they speak English?
Will they stay until the end?
Yes matchmaking something like the raid is going to lead to reduced difficultly as otherwise you'll likely never get it done with a randomly assigned team as failure is one persons disconnection away...
All because some people are just too socially awkward/lazy to organise themselves beforehand

****off
Hope they ruin it for you tbh.
Am I right in thinking that the only way to level up to the latter 20s is to upgrade your purple gear? So far I've enjoyed Destiny a great deal - mid 20s at the mo - but it now seems I need to grind materials to progress. When it comes to video games I draw the line at grinding - especially as I need over 120 iron for head and chest piece alone and so far have 9! This might be the end of the road until the dlc if true.

If the developers have already stated they don't expect people to complete it I don't see the problem. Just makes it harder for those less organised.
I don't think it makes these people socially awkward just means that they have more important things in their life but still like to have fun with the games.
I myself have had a bit of a break from gaming to concentrate on work so I'm not able to commit to 4 hours of gaming a night, in which time ive been promoted twice. If its the difference between the rewards of promotion with career advancement and being categorised as socially awkward or regularly collecting 20 shards(or whatever they are) repeating the same content over and over with the same four guys, then socially awkward I am
Don't get me wrong I've done the career mmo with ten years of wow and three with dcuo. It can be a great laugh but these had the option of randoms. It even made it more fun on some occasions as it was harder with noobs.
I do aggree they should not decrease the difficulty as it devalues the achievement people invest.
Another thing that kills mmo's is adding the ability to buy your way up the ladder. But at the end of the day limiting the end content to just those people that have four other mates who all play at the exact same time week in week out limits their audience.
Yup that's pretty much my thoughts, really disappointed with the Queen's Wrath event - no new content, just another faction grind. I think this isn't the game for me, which is a shame because I think it could have been with a bit more imagination.
Well I guess I hit a nerve - must have been correct then****off
Hope they ruin it for you tbh.
. Still can't fathom how people can't realise if they can't be arsed to organise themselves then only their fault they are missing out...Hell I anticipated it and made a MP thread early to get people to exchange details and then a raid thread to attempt to get people to make up groups. Yet there's some who just CBA but happy to moan that such content is unavailable to them
.No doubt there are justifiable reasons you can't - but I doubt they are common...
I'm confused isn't the topic for debate raid matchmaking or getting your character ready for raiding? Because I'm talking about the first which doesn't need much more than a bit of effort trying to get 6 people together once a week. I'm sure that wouldn't stop anyone career advancement to dedicateIf the developers have already stated they don't expect people to complete it I don't see the problem. Just makes it harder for those less organised.

Yeah it's how it goes, but iron etc is easy to get. It's the shards that take the time tbh.
I guess it's because I cba adding people like you to my PSN friends list these days. Getting 6 friends together who all
A) Own the game
B) Have had time to gear up to the correct level
Is pretty hard, Most have work and Children to look after. So yeah I'd like a match making option so when I find myself alone on psn I can still have a crack, if that means it gets easier I couldn't give a ****. Have a option to make it harder for those who like the challenge.
But calling people in my situation as you did, yeah it hits a nerve and isn't really called for.
