I know there are many many posts about FotL 2024 and all the issues but was wondering what the Lemmy community thought about it?

I'll go first and spout the frequent criticism of no MM for expert difficulty. I don't understand these decisions, I'm in the everything should have MM and players can opt-out if they like.

I almost feel like the MM is unintended, unless I didn't see a post from Bungie on the matter. I know people were getting around it by using "Free Roam" and "The Moon" or whatever the LS was for the day. The only reason I think it could be unintended is the fact that there is an "Event" option under "Episodic". I believe MOST things should have MM, and expert Haunted LS are definitely up there. They're are some things in this game that you don't really want MM for, but those are usually end game, like raids, master dungeons, and some GM's. There isn't any reason the event shouldn't have it, considering each lost sector isn't even a pass/fail activity. If you actually wanted to farm efficiently, Fireteam Finder should be available. But basic completion, like the event challenge asks, could easily be match made.

Besides the MM, I feel like the ornaments are top notch. All the FotL ones seem to have so much more effort and fun in them. Along with the seasonal set and ones that were datamined early, this is a strong contender for cosmetic options. One where I actually might end up spending money for silver for the first time in a LONG time.

The patch notes say it is intended to not have matchmaking, but missing from fireteam finder appears to be unintended

Expert difficulty Removing matchmaking and added Haunted Sectors to Fireteam Finder.

Yeah, gotta say that's unfortunate. The event should have MM. Makes it a lot easier to play the event. FF is about the least they could do. It's matchmaking with extra steps. Most people, I feel, aren't going to be elitist for lost sectors. Raids and GM's, sure.
