Raid has no matchmaking. RIP Division 2.
Did a challenging mission--if you can call it that now--and got 1 measely specialization ammo....is it broken? Again.

Just more crap to throw on the trash pile known as Div 2 end-game. Pretty sure I'm done with looter shooters. They are nothing but lies and disappointment.The sub reddit about this is going psycho. The devs are saying a pre-made team is needed but the quality of the player from a third-party site like LFG is no better than gamers put together through the game's matchmaking services. Let gamers fail and dust themselves off, go online for tips/strats so they can try again. I used LFG extensively and I can tell you it was no guarantee that you'd get a competent player. They did say they are open to changing this stance so lets hope they one day open the raid to matchmaking. I just hope its soon because I've played the hell out of the game and I'm about ready to move on.
Soloing gets old and no one in the Xbox VGF clan plays anymore.
I suppose I need to get back into the game as well.

I am also on PS4 now as not enough friends play on PC.
No matchmaking for the Raid blowz!
Unless you have an extremely hard hitting DPS build don't bother with the raid. Skill builds, trash. Tank builds, trash.
Watched a few videos of the raid and the above is just reality. Gear sets are no good either. So, yeah.
Marcostyle....whos entire party had mad DPS builds.Watched some very good youtubers who hold the world's first completion of the raid and they struggled. There is no way the average player is going to be able to complete the raid. Massive will need to do some tuning on the raid or prepare for more angry players voicing their opinions.

I can't seem to find a single console streamer/youtuber who has finished it. They all seem to be stuck on the first boss.
Perfect example would be Vault of Glass from Destiny 1. The mechanics added the challenge while NPCs kept the same fun gameplay as the rest of the game. Such a fun raid.I've watched some of their build videos. There is no way I'm grinding a new character to get the mods they have. Its ridiculous that lower level mods drop with higher damage increase values than those we get at end game. I've seen some of their builds with multiple 6.5% weapon damage increases. The highest I've come across in the end game is one (only 1) I have for my assault rifle at 5% AR damage & 2% weapon damage. If I had more of those mods my AR build would do insane damage. Even my rifle build that hits extremely hard and uses Gila Brand for multiple offensive mod slots doesn't have a mod that gives me more than a 5% damage increase and those are rare.
Massive is going down the wrong path. It seems they believe a Raid needs to be extremely hard where only one type of build (damage dealer) is the only choice to complete the activity. The Raid even frustrated Macro and the rest of the world's first crew where they were arguing with each other at one point. And those guys have extreme optimized builds. A Raid should be challenging but also fun and hopefully the devs find the right balance.
No matchmaking is a joke. Is this 2019 or 2010? Honestly I haven’t played in awhile. I was glued to the game till I hit the World Tiers and just started playing other games. Plus with my new job I have even less gaming time. Doubt I come back to this game for awhile.

Almost as bad as Crackdown 3 shipping with no party support....unreal.
It’s there now but it is a waste. I never played more than one match.Once I tried CD3 MP I’m glad they didn’t waste their time with party support.
Destiny is a sci-fi\Fantasy game it can do those things. The division series is based close to real world tech, it is very diffcult or maybe impossible for them to do that.How many times did I die on the platforming section in Vault of Glass I will never know but it was a lot the first few times I ran that raid.
I think that's the problem right there with The Division 2. No platforming, relic holding or ball throwing mechanics that make Destiny raids so much fun without resorting to bullet sponge enemies for every encounter. In the first boss encounter for this new raid its all about dps and pressing a button on some laptops to rinse and repeat the damage phase. The Division devs are going to have to get more creative even without the freedom of movement a game like Destiny offers.
