question about how runs work

[Slagmaster]

if someone joins and then leaves, can another person take their place? I'm asking because nobody has ever joined my game after the original people in the game left

[ZeroX1986]

others can join but sometimes nobody might be queing depending on difficulty

It might be bugged, since i have the same.
If i quick join players, players can join for that run but after the host leaves noone joins ever again.
If i host a run myself, players will only join before the game starts (in the lobby searching).
When i am in any other game with bots and no players, noone will ever join.

Quickplay is where its at, other than that i think we are out of luck, since joining games is probably bugged.

yes people will still join. people think its bugged but its not.. people are mainly going to join at checkpoints however people may still join at other safe houses just kinda rare.

It seems the game tries to find multiple people to fill a party. Usually when I'm missing several people, I have 2 or more players join at the same time. So I'm guessing if you're missing 1 player you're more likely to have someone join than if you're missing 3.

I have played with 2 other players for an entire act, and noone joins.
I have played with another player for an entire act, and noone joins.
I even played solo with bots but multiplayer for an entire act, or have people leave and left alone... and guess what noone joins.

I quickplay, and i join any game that is going on. 3 player games, 2 players games, and even players who play completely alone. Both at the start of an act, middle, and at the end.

This is an issue, and it must be either bugged, or terribly programmed/coded.
