Question about Expert difficulty level and matchmaking

[Skyward]

So, I noticed that Expert difficulty level has matchmaking for Arena: Breach Executable but not for Nightfall's which are arguably easier. Both are Power Cap 2005 yet one has matchmaking, and the other does not. Any ideas why?

Usually Expert will not have matchmaking, The breach executable is a exception.

I think this proves that matchmaking works for Expert level. Why not have it as a feature for Nightfall's as well?

That and non match made activities require people to be coordinated, which is never gonna happen in something like a Matchmade GM

Try both an Expert Breach and an Expert Nightfall and come back and tell us why.

Plus technically, if you want Matchmade Expert Nightfall, just go to Fireteam finder, Create a group with Auto join and no requirements.

matchmaking works very well in GM's. Just pick players with reasonable stats. It's very simple. Check have weapons for champs and that's it. Easy.

Stats and Weapons won't matter in the long run if people don't know what they're doing.
Primary Example: The Corrupted Strike, or just any strike that has some sort of mechanic or champions that need to be killed before the "encounter" ends so they don't despawn.

That's not matchmaking.

That is in fact the opposite of Matchmaking.

If you don't have champion mods or elemental effects to stun them, I don't care how much you think you know the mechanics of the GM. You're not doing it.

So yes, Stats and Weapons do matter. A whole lot.

One can say that about anything. It still works very well, people tend to grind mostly on double nightfalls anyway, the occassional skipped champion in a random gm isn't going to cause any issue. For the most part, people do seem to know what they're doing. I tend to throw heavy on champs in such situations to avoid skipping, if i can, but its no big deal.
I wouldn't worry about it. MM is great.
