No one joins sos

[FellowNick]

Why is hardly anyone ever joining my sos flares? I join people all the time. HR 22.

That probably because your target kinda don't give anything worthwhile...

Unlike Arkveld investigation that got filled within a MINUTE all the damn time.

Last time i checked SOS flares virtually every single one was for the first chatacabra you fight. I'll wait until its all tempered/more durable monsters

I see no point in playing with bots.

You can filter to whatever you want for sos

I found in World and Rise once people had kinda seemed to get further into the game and done things they wanted to do, beat the game, got certain gear - then you see them start answering SOS flares to help people out way more

I noticed it in PoE2 recently as a different genre for example, after a while tons of higher level players were constantly helping out other people with annoying bosses

I think most people are still trying to farm specific monsters or something they'll likely only browse through for flares that they can get something like materials out of

I can say at the very least people have no interest in grinding monsters that are considered "low rank," as in all versions of monsters you fight BEFORE the credits of the game rolls.

When you get to high rank hunts, you'll get far more people biting SOS signals. Even more if a monster is Tempered.

There are also other factors to consider. Someone may want to grind a certain monster. A Chatacabra has no value beyond HR 15 for example, you likely got all the materials you need by then. Then there's time spent in a mission, people hesitate when a certain amount of time passed because they could be kicked out during the loading screen due to the hunt ending.

The biggest factor of all, however, is rewards. This is what makes Tempered monsters popular, since they're required to make a unique type of weapon. Someone MIGHT bite for a Chatacabra if it results in a level 2 decal equip. Those are always nice to have.

I’m in high rank and still not getting anyone joining my sos. Been out of low rank for a bit.

The vast majority of the playerbase that are well into 41+ HR, which gives you pretty much all the hunts and their tempered variants, are only interested in farming double fights that give lots of gem or weapon part drops, or merely farming tempered because they're some of the most engaging and fun fights.

I feel this is quite possibly 50/50 oversimplification and over generalization. Think about it like this, if it helps:

Think of it like a party. If there are tons of parties happening (high player base), people have tons of choices, so yours might get overlooked (especially since there’s only so many quests that can show in the SOS finder).

If only a few parties are going on (low player base), people don’t have many options, so they’re more likely to show up at yours.

It’s not about how many people are around—it’s about how many other parties they can pick from, which are themselves limited in the SOS finder.

Not saying Nova is wrong, but it’s waaaaay soon in release to believe the “majority” is at endgame already. Maybe not. Though nothing quite fully supporting it (IMO of course).

Edit: I completely missed some contextual information, but I’ll leave my post for helping others, if it might. Apologies.
