Multiplayer Routine difficulty?

[Aeden]

Does anyone actually play on Routine? Just started playing online and so far I've only been able to find a session by searching for Threatening or higher. On those difficulties I die in one hit, rendering me more of a burden than a help.

When I do find a Routine session, this happens, leading me to believe its the same host every time. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2180068647

Make sure to set the destination to random, you'll more likely find lobbies. I'm not sure if this is the problem, I could assume that you do this already, and what I see on the screenshot just happened in a lobby that was hosted on Elven Ruins, and that's why the destination is set to that.

You could also try hosting your own lobby and start playing. People should start popping up sooner or later. If you still can't find others on Routine, it's alright if you join Threatening. Just find people that clear levels with ease, and you should get some decent items very soon.

I was searching random, and getting the same results. Decided to try other options to see if it made a difference, and it did not.

I tried hosting my own session to see if anyone would join mid-game, and I died almost instantly after entering the doors. Next time I'll try making a lobby and just sitting there to see how long it takes for someone to join. Not sure when that will be though, the last experience felt like I was bashing my head against a brick wall.

So far the only time I've found a session is searching the harder difficulties, where my beginner character has no business being there.

It's awful, but you may be right. I've just checked, and found only 2 lobbies, each with just a single person, while at this time, there are usually more than a few active lobbies on each difficulty. Sometimes there are only full lobbies, but I don't think this is the case now.

Maybe everyone's on a vacation or something. I can totally understand if you don't want to play with multiplayer after this, though I'd still advise to check back after a few days or maybe weeks. I've been around for some time, and it was never this empty. It's like everyone just disappeared suddenly...

I don't intend to give up on the multiplayer.

Got a taste of it on PS4 and enjoyed it, but disliked having to subscribe for it. Was pretty happy to finally be able to play whenever I want on PC, so I'll just keep trying and hope things pick back up.

Routine is always empty. You can solo most maps after level 10.
