In Destiny there have been changes in the Crucible. The new matchmaking settings have been applied to additional modes.
Bungie continues to work on its MMO shooter. While numerous Guardians are already looking to the future, expecting innovations from the “The Dawning of the Iron Lords” expansion, Bungie made a change last night. The Crucible, the PvP, is affected.
Shorter matchmaking times in almost all PvP modes
About a month ago, the developers adjusted the settings for matchmaking in the Crucible. This was announced as another step to improve the player experiences of Guardians. After all, they are continuously striving for this.
This innovation in player search was initially tested exclusively in the Control mode. However, it was stated right away that this will eventually be applied to all other Crucible playlists. After initial difficulties, this step was immediately reversed to make another attempt shortly after.
The changes specifically aim to shorten the matchmaking times for those Guardians who are at the extreme ends of the skill curve. Connection quality remains the primary search criterion, but they want to address the entire player population. It may now happen that players encounter others with a wider skill range.
And now it’s finally here: From now on, these settings will be applied to all PvP playlists. Except for one: In the Trials of Osiris, everything remains as it is. They have their own matchmaking settings, which are specifically tailored to this event.
The new settings will also be implemented in the next Iron Banner. Therefore, Bungie requests that you all head into the Crucible, play some nice matches, and leave your feedback in the Bungie forum.
With “Rise of Iron,” some changes in PvP are expected. There should even be a previously unknown feature coming that Guardians have wished for a long time. Perhaps Private Matches?
