Is a single person even beckoning a lampbearer?????

[I Have Crabs]

I could sit here waiting for an hour and i might be summoned in once to a guy who has no boss for me to fight. How am i supposed to farm chunks this way if there are no players to help?

They do. But the game still has connection issues.

Do you think joining a person is connected to which new game you are in?

[Heck]

They're too busy dieing trying to find the boss in the 1st place. Then when they get to the boss they figure it out after a couple tries or kill it in one go.
Basically DS2 v2

I'm doing it all the time. Works like a charm (for us part-time gamers that need help).

No. I've connected to both NG and NG+ hosts. I believe it's level based matchmaking.

There's only 8,000 or so players online as far as Steam goes. Other comments are kinda of important in ways, but that's a much bigger issue. Plus, while I do jump in the muliplayer from time to time, a lot of us forget to beckon other people. More so ranods.

I'm also always looking for help, makes the game that much easier and also more fun in my opinion :) I thank you for answering the call of us who needs help!

I try to do a lot but connexion issues are too high!

Check the wiki to make sure you meet all matchmaking perameters for maximum connectivity.

I think also part of the problem is that is not convenient and easy to see for players (especially casual players).

My solution is:
Make a butterfly-y silhouette, like the ones for the NPC's in front of every boss arena, but make it a gold color, so the players can beckon from there - interacting with it will pull a random player in the queue. (To invite friends they still have to go through the vestige)

It will super convenient, and easy to spot for players and even better then in Dark Souls since no need to place signs.

The game does it more conveniently than that, no matter where you do it, it summons someone from any spot. And vice versa. Using specific spots is limiting and results even less times being summoned or finding a summon.

Problem is the level range and region, when you do it, and well crossplatform prolly doesn't work at the moment.

I was farming the spot where you meet the 2nd ruiner as a normal enemy, haven't still yet went past that point while lvl 111+, and after going back to the beginning area I let myself be summoned and ended up fighting the adyr boss, that was my first co-op boss fight, weirdly it didn't give me an achievement for it in terms of beating a boss in co-op, but did get 300 coins, 2nd time I did a co-op I got an acheivement, but that wasn't random, used a temp "friend" who needed help.

You misread it a bit. Am not saying just those specific spots... but the beckon of random players be more visible near the bosses as well keep it in from the Vestige menu. Trust me, no casual player will go in the Vestige, the select a menu, then select beckon from list of 5 options, the click on it, and in menu that he does not know what they do.

Putting the random beckon with gold-y color will stand out, is very visible and convenient for them to see and use it (it can have a text added like "summon lamb-bearers from otherworlds to help you fight the boss" etc), as it is right in front of the boss area (a-la dark souls style)

So a vestige in front of every boss door.
