 When I host matches It usually takes about 30 minutes for someone to join ( Or longer ). Does anyone know why? Is there some kind of glitch or something. I would join other games but I cant play with any of the asari that I LOVE playing as. The reasoning behind that is that with My Asari Adept, her biotic powers tremendously slow down when Im in someone else's game. The Asari Vanguard glitches and I dont play much with the Asari Justicar.
Any help with this would be wonderful, Thank you :wizard:

That's unusually high. This would mainly be due to matchmaking on Origin's end, which would be EA's doing, not yours.

Well it's the process. When you make the game, it's added to the end of the list. Then people are matched via proximity to the host machine AND n7 rating... so lots of things have to be in your favor, or you're waiting awhile. If you are on low upload DSL, be sure not to be running any programs that use your upload bandwidth.

Hmm thats weird, I guess its my N7 ranking because I used to create games an people would join pretty quickly. This saddens me now though. I miss playing with my Asari, I wish I can undo my N7 rank now :(

I've found some times it takes ages for my lobby to fill up. I found actually starting the game and soloing 1 wave would cause 3 people to instantly join.

Unless they turned N7 back on, I don't think it goes by N7. That was a terribly stupid idea back then - though for platinum, N7 300+ should be required. Yeah, I know 120 is the minimum, but you should flesh out your powers a bit.

It might start by region then expand worldwide.

My experiences are typically people join within 30 seconds or it will take 5-10 minutes for people to join. But never in the between.

Never tried the start a game and hope people join thing.

What platform are you on OP? I'll join you if you're on xbox lol

I find people join faster if you start the game yourself as a solo. I find I get 3 more players by wave 2.

I do this nowadays. Most often, people will take even longer in the lobby just to figure out what to bring. I was extremely fortunate this morning when I started a solo silver hoping to drag guys during the game. After the first wave came three more guys and they stayed with me until the next 5 silver games.

I think the system looks to fill up ongoing games 1st before lobbies perhaps?

Seems to. A few times I've sat with an open lobby for more than 20 minutes, and not one single user joins. Starting a match though usually gets the empty slots fliied on the first round or two.

Assuming you play on gold, fastest way to fill your lobby is set the game to White/Geth. Then once the lobby is full and no one is paying attention, switch it to random/random and ready up.

That wont work, everyone that is ready is alerted when you change and people will leave as soon as they see it's not FBWGG.

This usually works but, sometimes no one shows up.

So, be prepared to solo if necessary.

I used to do a lobby, wait a minute, even nobody join I got I and do another lobby. Sometimes you recreate a lobby, it fill instantaneously, but it don't happen every time, and is happening less in the last weeks. Now I'm just starting the game alone (without any consumable, so I don't loose it). Normally people will join before the first wave end (or before I die).
