That is one great feature they recently added was the ability to have players come back into the strike battles. So if people do bail out, try to stay alive and hide and maybe others will re-join.

6 person raid
More bad news about the 6 person raid
1. No matchmaking which means you can ONLY play this with friends.
2. Must be at least level 22 or 23 to enter. Pretty sure it is minimum level 23.
Lvl 23 won't cut it, check this out. That looks like it was damn tough to me!That is one great feature they recently added was the ability to have players come back into the strike battles. So if people do bail out, try to stay alive and hide and maybe others will re-join.
Also in their defense, they might not have left on purpose. I was in a 2 hour strike battle hard as heck and no joke, got disconnected with the enemy at about 2 health. It was the most angry I have ever been at this game. I actually had to take a long break after that happened. 2 hours gone....

In all honesty I hate to say this but I feel I am already starting to lose interest in this game. Was really hoping the 6 player raids would provide the necessary option to allow more than 3 friends to play together. But not having a matchmaking for the raid is just a terrible idea. Getting 6 friends online at the exact same time during the week is not that easy. Not that it matters since I am not even a high enough level to enter the raid. So really if you are not high enough level, you STILL cant do anything with more than 3 friends other than the crucible vs multiplayer.
I feel your pain. I am half way between level 21 and 22 and am having a hard time getting the motivation to grind or get lucky gear to level up. Might try some strikes with randoms and see what happens. I just having to rely on "lucky" drops in order to level up the light in the game.
I would join you on those strikes, but with our gap in levels it would probably just make it worse for both of us.
The crucible is the quickest way I've found to level up and get legendary weapons. If you do the bounties you'll get to level 2 crucible decently quick and can just buy legendary gear. Plus I've seen one match where someone got a yellow engram and two got a purple. I've got several purple and many many blue. My first pieces of purple actually came from blue engrams I got in the crucible..

Or maybe I should put some more time into the multiplayer. I know you can get some good drops in there and level up faster. Ugh I just don't care that much for the multiplayer until they get an official big team battle playlist.
I guess I just set my expectations way too high for the 6 player raid that came out yesterday and not being able to play it.
It would just be very easy for me and my drops wouldn't be quite as good. BUT I still wouldn't mind playing with you. Always fun to play with friends and a bit boring by myself. I also have lower level characters I could use.
I guess I will have to put more effort into the crucible. I really only like the Big team battle playlists and only a couple maps. But oh well I heard a BTB playlist is coming fairly soon which will be great.
The good thing about the crucible is how fast you level up your crucible rank. Once you become a level 2 you can buy legendary gear. As soon as I hit 2 I had enough to buy a chest plate and gauntlets.
Most of my leveling up has been from Vanguard strikes. I cant remember what level those become available but once they do, that's when the game gets even more fun. Best part about vanguard strikes is they put other players in with you. And its drop in drop out. Spent most of my time in those. Obviously more fun with friends but can be fun with good randoms.
Well from what I've read is that I cant get Vangaurd marks till level 18, so maybe thats when? Ima try power leveling sometime this week. Spent more then enough time taking it slow and wandering haha.
As we have said before, there is no trueskill matchmaking right now. Or if there is it sure as heck doesn't work anywhere near as good as Halo. Not by a longshot. Which surprises me since Bungie is the original creator and innovator of Trueskill matchmaking in the Halo series. It simply doesn't seem to exist in Destiny.
Yup the lack of true matchmaking in the crucible multiplayer is 100% from Activision COD.@CAMAROBOY69 Maybe that came from the COD side of things?
Thats a reason I'm hesitant to go into multiplayer until I get to at least level 20. I figured my socks would be rocked into another dimension. I also dont want to level up to fast as I'm barely at the 2nd mission on the Moon, and as I stand, I'm already to powerful.
. If anyone wants to help soon tonight with it I'll send you an invite
