And boom goes the dynamite

The only thing ridiculous is your comment. That raid is the reason a lot of people are still playing D2. You must be one of the people who can’t beat it. There’s nothing ridiculous about the raid. Forcing players to communicate and work together to accomplish a goal is ridiculous? I’d love to hear your opinion of why the raid (which is optional) ruined the game.

Raids this difficult are not meant to have matchmaking ya pleb

Matchmaking for a raid is completely ridiculous. I’ve beat the raid in under 22 mins dozens of times and my clan has beat it over 100 times. There’s NO WAY we could have accomplished that with random matchmaking. People don’t have mics, proper builds or basic knowledge of the raid in matchmaking. It’s the people who want an easy mode for the raid who want matchmaking and trust me when you try it you will get what you deserve...

An option to matchmake for this is always going to be preferred over not having it at all. It's nice for those who have a dedicated clan who can take time out of their day to schedule a meetup to complete the raid, but the reality is not everyone has the time to do so with their friends. It gets even worse when we consider different time zones folks have to compete with to make something like that work.

One of the biggest issues it seems, is that Division 2 was dead set on reinventing the wheel, rather than learning from Division 1 and Destiny who had many of the same problems. They ignored many of those advancements and here we are.

While I have a clan I could coordinate a raid run with, the point is, I shouldn't HAVE to coordinate that as my only option for participating in the raid. It's a missed opportunity for folks to make new friends online. And to the point of randoms, in many games, I've actually accomplished more with someone who was random than someone I knew already.

Cross save just isn't going to happen. There's ubisoft accounts that have played it on all three platforms.

That said raid/incursion exclusives aren't so exclusives anymore and not really that deal breaking. Its the expertise/proficient that's the big hang up.
