Invasions take forever to pop?

[the joker baby]

Been invading on characters from lvl 24 to 150 and invasions take about 5 minutes each time to actually find someone to invade.

Did the seamless co-op have a massive impact or something?

Probably just the playerbase dropping, it's been like that since launch since elden ring is first and foremost a singleplayer game with a story and an ending.

I'm playing random coop every day, right now on RL 20 and 34.
5 minutes is the average time to get summoned, but pretty sure we will get invaded in every area / dungeon.
I guess there are just not enough hosts for too many invaders. The player base is around 20-30 k nowadays, seems to be normal to wait 5 minutes. Try to spam your bloody finger item.

The most active level range is lvl 10
The rest is either left to the seamless coop mod for no bad red man or beaten the game and just waiting for the dlc.

Try the other way around and lure invaders into your world.

I lure Invaders back-to-back non stop at RL.150

I think level 150 meta isn’t the most active.
I’m at level 380 and luring inviders take no time. Plenty of activity at this level in Europe.
Starting area seems to be the new pvp spot.

Not the same thing. I don't want to "duel" reds while having double estus.

I'm pretty sure like at least 60% of those people are on Seamless Co-op or Offline Launcher.

So maybe blocking blue phantoms from joining and having up to 3 invaders would work for you? Reds usually play better as well.

Anyway - invading takes much longer than getting invaded. People need to host more. It’s also more exp this way if somebody cares about that.

It's not possible to do survival sadly. Taunter's tongue only lures 1 invader at a time if you don't have friendly phantoms/blues in your world.

Yeah, Seamless killed ER's invasion activity. Waiting 15 minutes for a host to start a boss as soon as you enter is the norm.

I agree that multi could be better. DS3 had cool idea with that castle and blue phantom auto invasions.

I hope new DLC area will copy that idea.
Also why the hell finger remedy even exists? Why do you need to use an item to see golden signs or to use yet another item to lure invaders. Silly and I hope they will remove that pointless in my opinion item.
