S.O.S quests...

[Mercwar]

Is anyone else tired of clicking on an S.O.S mission, just posted and 1/4 or 2/4 0 mins ago and never get in one? Or the fact that usually the first 2-3 posted started 30+ mins ago, why these are even posted? The screen has been filled with a sos missions and have not been able to get in a single one, this happens too often imo. The annoying red glow happens everywhere but the Grandhub...why not just remove it all together?

Yeah they should just let us connect to any first available without showing all results
I also miss joining random hunt from Rise.

This has been happening to me the last week or so. It takes many refreshes to get into one. Seems maybe something about the process got worse with the update. That is my take on it.

Game has a lot of players, so if you wanna join some 'hot' hunts, like mizu or zoa, lot of people will try to access room at the same time.
Imagine 10 people find the same quest first and tried to connect. If there was only host then only 3 of them will make it. Next comes chain reaction with list not being refreshed automatically, so second/third/... games are full, but game still show their status on the moment you finished initial search

I appreciate the mtiplayer system in World even more now.
Crossplay and unlocked region make finding a match difficult.
And if you disable crossplay, you can't find anything at all.

Just....
Tell me you dont understand why it works the way that it does.

Because by the time you have perused through all the available sos ones that come up to look for the best rewards one of the tens of thousands of people playing have clicked the one you were looking at, unless you click to look at sos and immediately click the first one you are not getting a place, make more sense ???, it says 1/4 places but that was when you searched the sos not once you have tried to click one, those places are long gone from you being too slow.

I really dont think it would be feasible to solve that OP.

However,

Mizutsune can appear during Plenty
Zho Shia shows up during Inclemency.

Now you will have to use the rest mechanic maybe a few times to sleep to different times of day but they show up in large numbers for me.
An what I do is store them as investigation, so I can run each one 4 times.
I have about 12 current investigations of ea stored an about 12 for Arkveld an 3 Gore.

Very simple, you may have to complete them on your own but if you want to appear higher in the list for others to select an join on you well....
1st only save investigations that offer those Gemstones because those convert over to ORE's and Armor Spheres. Gems are highest level of game currency for exchange at smelter, no one really cares or should not really care about Artician parts because those are very common. Also you can just assume that any SOS that has a gemstone is an instant join and you wont be able to get in because 100,000 people are all attempting to join that match.
2nd thing you do is Hit the SOS flare as soon as you start the match. This places you at the top of the list for appearing to others.
