How is Forge matchmaking this broken? (Destiny)

I think that’s part of it. The difference is that, unlike strikes, the Forge doesn’t wait for the full team to start. It starts literally as soon as I land. I’m often 30 seconds into killing ads and throwing batteries before my teammates show up.

The bigger issue is auto-queue. Look, I’m generally of the opinion that making video games is hard, and it’s probanly easy to make decisions with unforeseen consequences, so we should understand and give devs a break. But seriously, who the hell made the boneheaded decision that Forges should auto-queue for the next round? Especially when backing out of matchmaking has been broken since Forsaken hit?

I understand that it’s probably because it would be super annoying to get kicked out, have to sit through a loading screen to load back into the area, then go start the Forge again, start matchmaking, load into the Forge again. The obvious solution is to make Forges selectable from orbit. And I mean that—it’s obvious. The fact that they either didn’t realize or couldn’t fix how stupid this before we ever saw it really makes me question what the hell theyre even doing over there. And it’s very, very rarely that I ever take that track. But this is so completely asinine compared to any other bad decision they’ve made that I just don’t get it.
