They reversed the hubs PoE. Year one, the main hub was 28 and the satellites the higher difficulty. So I didn't even look, I just queued for the main year two.
Got in and had no teammates. Thought it was odd, but I downed the first boss in about 5 minutes. Then got the second boss a bit past halfway when I died. I probably could have beat him too, but was in the wrong spot.
Went back to orbit and realized the main hub for year 2 is challenge mode and the satellite is the 41.
I'm level 309 and easily could solo the first 2 rounds...
So why exactly is there no matchmaking for this?
Ended up running the 41 and it was like running the 28 PoE right now.

I will never understand their no matchmaking philosophy in this game. I means seriously every game has built in matchmaking. Hiests in GTA, even Elder Scrolls Online I can get matched into groups for dungeons or even PvP. Will you get crap teammates? Yea, but you'll get good ones too you can build on. Even firefight beta in Halo 5 this last week had of course matchmaking. The only games I had that didn't have it built in are old Atari games, SNES, Genisis, N64, you know. The days before online play.
