Yeah and apparently if someone drops you cant have someone else come in or something of the sort. My group is max of 5 so going to have to find a 6th non fail person on the days when we can even try to raid or find a clan but dont particularly want to end up on a schedule.

I'm mixed on it - I'm happy to see the difficulty being balls to the wall on raids from what that says - worried a bit about the wife though (she's definitely still sloppy and not aggressive enough at shooters) - also will be a challenge to find 4-5 people on a workable schedule - ours is wide open, be coordinating the rest of everyone could be tough. (Wide open for now at least - time will drop into the abyss after the move unless I fail at opening the store)

The raid post today was definitely heartening - like what the guy had to say, but I too wonder if they'll open up some type of matchmaking for the raids - I don't mind throwing myself at content with randoms if its quick to get into, quick to get out. It'd be preferable to run a set group of people, but it kind of stinks when you want to tackle it at 2 am on a Sunday or something. We'll see - the 20 hour allusion on the story was good to hear - hope that's accurate!

Well... No communication and no raid finder is decimating... If you have 4 people how on earth are you supposed to pug this by waving at people in the tower?

i'm sure people will setup web sites to help matchmaking, like the equivalent of openraid for wow. and over time the raids will get nerfed, happens in every game. idgaf i hated raid grinding in MMOs, don't plan on doing that shit here

the more interesting thing will be, will people figure out ways to solo exploit some of the raid stuff in the first week. good reason to hit 20 fast, usually there are some loopholes early on in these kinda games

Yeah no raid finder is disheartening since the main catch was the pick up and play atmosphere in this. So not being able to pug raids at will/random sucks balls. Hopefully this is something that is changed at some point, even if flailing around at times id rather pug and fail than have to always rely on organizing shit or playing on a schedule.

That really fucking sucks, I only have 1 real life friend with a PS3. I could play with some of you guys if I picked up a PS4 but it's just not in the cards right now, no pre-order for me it looks like.

They really do need to work better at fostering an immediate community. People like the play games by turning on their system and running around for a few hours. No one wants to go online, find a forum, fill out and interview and schedule chunks of time out just to run around a few nights a week. Well few console gamers would find that ideal. OTOH It would be pretty awesome to do a Public event with someone you and find them competent to group with so you tap a few buttons and group up for a raid.

I know it's possible to R3 on someone and send them an invite by popping out of the gaming and maybe typing a message or using the default "Play Destiny!" but that shit is flat out annoying. And to add insult to injury there is no way see your clan Members unless you invite them individually to your friends list. Hopefully they fix this because adding/removing 75 people if you join/switch clans is nuts.

I think there will be more communication on the ps3 rather than the ps4. Not allowing the bluetooth ps3 headsets on the ps4 basically kills everything they built up on the ps3. Have the 2 official playstation headsets, and they didn't think to support them with the ps4. Had to unloan my brother my old ps2 headset (luckily he just bought a new one).

And I'm still not even sure the ps4 included headset has a mic... it's just not typical.

What's not typical about it? It's like the cheap earpiece/mic that comes with just about every cell phone.

I agree that it was shitty of them to not support BT headsets on the PS4, but putting that 3.5mm jack on the DS4 will give far more people access to voice chat than ever had it on the PS3. PS3 was famous for pretty much nobody having a headset.

I hope its because the raids are so hard that they are just not pugable.

Even the strike in the beta was beyond 80% of the populations capabilities. Raids might actually be a challenge! Yay!

What pissed me off most about the strike teams for beta was that the regards would fight their way in instead of getting on their speeder and riding back. Once I had already finished the second layer before the first person showed up

Just run in and suicide, it forces them to port to the entrance if you're the only one inside the restricted spawn area and dead.

The game is going to open huge but I think that there is a real danger of the community drying up quickly outside of competitive PvP. Restricting how people play your game is very often retarded; and telling people that they NEED to have 6 identifiable friends online and coordinated in order to do a raid-level encounter is super retarded. If you are not even giving me an opportunity to PUG and fail, that's a problem with your design. At least let me give it a shot. I don't want it to be easymode and, sure, I might even say that the chance of failure with a PUG is massively high - but don't just hide the content behind some artifical barrier. That's gay.

I'm in the alpha for EVOLVE anyway so fuck this game

Shit, this was just a limited beta? I only got to play for about 45 minutes the first night I started and then went on vacation. Sat down tonight with some free time to play and it's offline. Maybe it was already stated here but does anyone know when the next beta will be, and if we will need new codes?
