maybe its just my region but is noone doing anomaly quests anymore?

[Nerevar]

i cant seem to find many matches in search even when i choose target ANY and even when i host barely ever anyone joins.

and yes this is primetime in my region.

like sometimes the quests fill up instantly and other times i hunt 3 monsters alone for like 20 minutes and nobody ever joins.

so people only do specific anomaly targets maybe?

been out of the loop since launch and now just doing the stuff the TUs added.

anomaly level is 93 if that helps.

If everyone from your region are pro-hunts they would probably all stay in the Lv101~120 tier.

I suggest looking up / make a specific lobby if you want to find teammates with similar Anomaly Research level. In my region (SEA) there seemed to be quite a lot of people doing Anomaly Investigations during prime time.

Also, utilize the MR filter while looking for a lobby. The default filter only shows limited results and high MR lobbies might get overflowed by low MR ones.

the first part is pretty clear i figured that much given the highest tier stuff is all there.

i tryed lobby search already WITH mr and without mr requirements. no matches are ever found. even during primetime. same for hosting my own. had 1 player join ONCE during the entire time.

so i guess my region is just dead and switching regions doesnt help either. then i get ZERO matches in 1 hour. while in mine i get like 2-3 per hour atleast.

Switching regions should help, but you need to restart the game after doing so. (Not sure if you have to restart Steam though). You also need to need to switch to a region that are still somewhat populated at the time you play (meaning, take time zone differences into consideration).

There should be at least one full page of lobbies by default filters. Sometimes people don't put "Anomaly Investigations" as their target so I usually just join default lobbies randomly and see if they are doing what I want.

The multiplayer matchmaking for quests are whack though. You either get zero person for 15 minutes, or full lobby within seconds as soon as the RNG hits you, sometimes right before your target dies.
There really isn't a workaround for this except using mods.

The game is dead until the next TU + discord affected open lobbies

Multiplayer is actually a ghost town, either people play in premades or solo. I'm looking out for Anomaly focused sessions when I'm playing and there's like one at most, whereas a month ago I could regularly find sessions with good players.
No idea what happened, I still want an investigation with Flaming Espinas but the player base seemingly doesn't do investigations anymore.

Solo = Non-RNG, there's already enough RNG in the game, heck even with mods there is still quite a bit. Gamblers Delight.

is flameing even in investigations yet? never seen it as a 2nd monster. only gold and silver and seething. pretty sure lucent and violet will not be added to afflicted pool at all as they are only found in thier own special area. tough flameing has citadel listed as a region he appears in.... unlike the other 2.

tryed that already with the regions. steam literally asks you to restart when doing it. didnt help tough. i dont wanna figure out timezones where people play on top. thats so much hassle to just shorten the pointless grind of anomaly levels a bit.

sigh. maybe i wait for tu3 then to get more activity. these last 15 anomaly levels REALLY drag for no good reason. and you get nothing new till 101....

I believe there is a mod that removes region locking altogether so you dont have to worry about learning time zones

i tryed searching for lobbys and i found ONE but it was max anomaly level. so useless.

even when i set the quest type to NONE i find like 10 lobbys at most. and all of them are extremely low MR and probaly not doing anomaly stuff to begin with.

dont wanna use mods. why is this region lock even a thing i wonder. heck not even elden ring is region locked nowadays. whats the point of doing that? reduce lag?

Perhaps its something that came across from the switch? I'm not sure why it'd be locked either, i can't remember if world was but i never had any trouble finding a lobby there and still don't, so I'm assuming maybe it doesn't.

Outside of using the mod, I'm sorry to say this but it looks like you're screwed unfortunately. Can i ask which region you are in?

no kidding, i found my doggo more useful than randoms so what's the point of going online.

What happened is exactly what happened before, Rise simply isn't that fun to keep playing for a lot of people. The majority play enough to max their builds and stop. That combined with poor MP options and discord = ghost town

World is as region locked as Rise, but you automatically make an online lobby if you want to play. That's why you can find a lot of lobbies there.

The mod doesn't help much OPs case because they can only search up to lv 93 and if no one posted that level (and you can't possibly know) you still can't find a quest

Its sort of disappointing that a level 93 can't participate in investigations level 101 and above. That'd probably solve a lot of problems with searching for investigations.

I still remember being research level 100, and not able to join my mates level 101 quest cause he has played slightly longer
