waiting 30 mins plus for invasions

[CipherNovaa]

sometimes i get invasions within 2 mins, other (most) times I just sit around for soooo long at "attempting to invade another world" over and over and over. does anyone have tips on where to pop the finger? this is insane...

Sometimes I've noticed that you need to like spam the search to get an invasion shortly.

i could be wrong but as i understand it i think you can only invade in locations where you have actrivated the summoning pool. so that you cant get spawned in some kind of end game area where you havent been yet and be spoiled.

In the world map there should be a button to enable multiplayer view, which shows you all the pools that you have activated (at least thats what it looked like to me)

Try using taunter's tongue. If you get constant invasions with short to non delay but you can't find a world to invade that would mean that the pool of invaders is way way bigger than the pool of players elegible to be invaded.

If you don't get invasions or just a few with long delays it would probably mean that your level (and or your weapons upgraded level) are not optimal for the zone you are in.

there is a cd on invasion for the host, if you cant find anyone that has cd open in the area try another

Since invasion have the explicit requirements of the host being in coop or using a item, the invaders pool is much larger than the eligible for invasion pool. Also a big chunk of coop dudes will leave after they either beat the game or the game beat them, reducing the queue even further.

That said, invasions won't live long in this game as is. At most, From could make the effects of taunter tongue a settings option, so those who wish to keep the invasion system going after the coop crowd is gone could do it more easily.

This also apply when you search players for coop

there is plenty of co-op activity, the most likely scenario is that your lvl and weapon upgrade level dont match the majority of the pool

If you haven't noticed at the Main academy gate, you have to wait 3-4 secs for the bloodstains/messages to load for any red summon to appear

happens in plenty places, a few sec delay is to be expected
