Havoc

How does me having -20% toughness generation and someone else having +5% health damage taken make matchmaking harder?

The devpost calls those effects “modifiers”.

@FatsharkStrawHat

For each Order level, more negative modifiers are introduced. This increase is additive, meaning the previous modifiers will carry over to the next Havoc Order, plus any new ones on top of it. For example, if an Order level 1 reduces toughness regeneration, then Order level 2 will reduce toughness regeneration and another negative modifier on top of it.

It is explicitly mentioned in the devpost, that modifiers are NOT the aspect that is different for individuals.
Missions (maps) and mutators (high int, more specialists, hunting grounds, etc.) are what is supposed to be different per player.

@FatsharkStrawHat

the mission and mutators applied to each order level will be unique and randomized for each player

I guess you understand, how it could make matchmaking difficult, when one player has “Enclavum Baross with High intensity” and an other player has “Magistrati Oubliette with snipers” instead.
Quickplay would work, but they explicitly said that they do not want to implement it.

@FatsharkStrawHat

One of the reasons we wanted to introduce the Party Finder was specifically for Havoc. Because the difficulty is so high, it wouldn’t work to simply Quick Play into a Havoc mission. Because of the varying combinations of mutators and missions, and the increasing difficulty, players will want to prepare their talents and weapons based on the challenge they’re facing. Using Quick Play would not allow players to properly prepare for the challenge.
