However, it would appear that developer Crystal Dynamics is committed to making sure that all content is equally accessible and allows for matchmaking even in some of these most difficult activities. In that way, Discordant Sound is the type of activity that a title like Bungie might have required be completed with multiple players, but without an automated matchmaking system.

While Discordant Sound might not be on the same level as Last Wish, Deep Stone Crypt, or Vault of Glass, it's still the best example of the high-end content that keeps people coming back to live-service games through to the end.Įven if the first raid in Marvel's Avengers is somewhat simpler than the higher-level content of other competitors, it still has all the hallmarks of an activity that requires a lot of skill and communication. Currently, these include Marvel's Avengers' Discordant Sound Raid and the Omega-Level Threat mission Family Reunion, which are the highest level content available. Outside the content that is single-player focused, there are still a few activities in the current version of Marvel's Avengers that requires a team of four active players. Unfortunately, the requirements for strong gear or high levels can make filling out a raid group difficult without already having friends that are regularly able to challenge these encounters each week. Between Destiny 2's Grandmaster Nightfall and the raids, the only way to reach to the highest levels and play the most impressive content is to ether work out schedules among multiple players, or try to find a group through forums. This necessity for multiplayer, combined with a lack of matchmaking, makes Destiny 2's best content even more difficult to engage with, especially as a solo player. However, the complexity of these raids incentivize the developer Bungie to continue to shy away from including matchmaking during this high-level content. The raids in Destiny 2 are easily the most exciting encounters from the game, requiring multiple players to take on different tasks that work in tandem to accomplish a single shared goal. In addition to several of these missions being built to require multiple players due to difficulty, there is then the highest points that live-service games are able to achieve.
