Can sometimes take a while, people tend to join me while im choosing my strats in the pod. Can try to jump in and chuck an SOS beacon for priority if you like.

You dont want randoms to join you. Every time they do, they will shoot you, drop bombs on you, and do anything in their power to make your game miserable.

Can be a myriad of reasons. Anything from Arrowhead's servers, difficulty choice, SoS Beacon not set up during mission (This one will streamline priority, without it, you won't be considered needing help), waiting at Mission Briefing which means having mission selected and waiting before Helldiving.

The last two are most important things as the moment you set the SOS Beacon, it will help you be found on the map on which the planet you're on or be found via Quickplay, if you do not do this, then the game thinks you don't need it but you still will be matched by others at a lower priority. Given the precious time you have, anything from 12-40 minutes per Mission and based on what Mission it is, you have to be at the mercy of the SOS Beacon, thus the next statement may be your better choice.

Matchmaking before Helldiving can happen rather suddenly and sometimes quick as you're putting a team together so long you have anywhere in between from having the Mission selected to the point you Ready and Helldive, as this'll then transfers to the previous said statement if you're in a rush to do something.

Just keep in mind this game is still fresh and having its issues, so its hard to even say what's really wrong from your end while I can say with mine its been almost perfectly fine, quickplay can be buggy as it can't "Find matches" because someone already filled that slot or just for no reason at all. So, it isn't a isolated incident and just matter of patience.

Must be your personality

there is 500 one player games looking for reinforcements and 5 players using quick play....

throw SOS beacon as soon as you land, usually the next mission you do will populate people. i also have to do this to be able to quick match with people. if i dont im stuck in perpetual solo. also, i read some where turning off crossplay helps, that might actualy be the main thing that helped me.
