Trying to just play two games.
Firebase Magma to do challenge.
Won`t play it in Bronze and waste my time... so I searched for Gold/Magma.
No room found. I become the host. Nobody joins.. Repeated this.. twice.
I try to find a game again.. and found one. The host won`t medi-gel during objective, and I don`t want to carry him so I try to finish the game ASAP. In the end, the host didn`t even extract.
Nothing personal, but I didn`t want to play with him again...
but I couldn`t find second game because game only try to match me with this host for 6 times in a row.
I give up. Don`t want that 30 mission funds today if only one game is being hosted that matches challenge criteria.

People were equally trash on XBL trying to get this challenge done. Originally did a match on Silver with a Human Engineer so I could score whore against Remnant but that turned into these cockwaffles still not being able to handle SILVER. Used my 20 XX Human Vanguard for Gold and it was probably the most uncoordinated match ever, at least 2 people went down on the first wave and it just went that way the entire match.

I am being somewhat lucky recently and for the past 3 or 4 days, I always dropped in a lobby with QueenOfPain playing adepts. Means, I don't have to do anything, can just sit in the corner occasionally coming to help with objectives while everything on the map is being annihilated in the most brutal and efficient way. I dread the day when QueenOfPain gets bored of Meda or changes daily routine and will be playing at different times. I would then have to probably play with Ronnie and that means I need to actually do something sometimes.

maybe ppl were all playing magma bronze Pretty much. So I just accepted it, fetched my L4 Scrapper, leveled him a bit, and racked up a bunch of combat combos for that challenge. I like the easy MF with the challenges, but it sure can make finding a match in a non-challenge map/difficulty/enemy fruitless.

Welcome to Mass Effect Andromeda Multiplayer? haha yeah im really feeling player base dwindling lately.. it was especially bad today. maybe ppl were all playing magma bronze Doubt it. I had same problem finding Magma players last night. I'm not good/patient enough to solo gold for more than about 3 waves, so I soloed Silver to Wave 5 before anyone else came in. So then I decided to play the final 7 waves on Bronze because I didn't want to have to use even one medigel or first aid pack. I wound up playing all 7 waves by myself on bronze. I don't get it-I've always found Magma to be an easy map to PUG on Gold and even Platinum if the objectives aren't too bad. Pretty sad that can't find anyone to do even the dailies any more.

It might just be possible that many people are spending their holiday right now, away from Mass Effect...
Anyway I have had no problems finding lobbies or having people join mine yesterday, which seems better than a week ago.

Currently playing a new co-op game that's also multi-platform.. probably one of the cashiest-grabbiest games in western history. But it might have something to do with some of the co-op population being on break from MEA.

Just played 14 waves on Magma Bronze - the two dailies for MF and challenge points. Not a soul around. Double checked my lobbies after each match to make sure I had not set it to private. It's not going to get better-less than a month away from Destiny 2.

To me, the problem stems from the fact that we have to play 14 waves, so usually 2 games on the same map. I'd rather have 3 daily challenge paying 20 each. Like map/enemy/power if they want to keep their current system.

Waves on a specific map and specific difficulty level is literally the easiest challenge combo there is though and people aren't doing it. You are always done in 14 waves and there is absolutely no requirement for points against faction or points from powers (depending on how things go, those challenges do not always get done in 14 waves).
Some people just won't do bronze waves (I do because I want all the challenge points and mission funds). Some people just won't do gold waves because they are not good enough. Ideally, you should be able to choose the one difficulty level best suited for you-the $17,000 credits I got from Bronze doesn't exactly help me save for Premium packs. It's not an efficient use of my playing time.
On the bright side, I was able to find a Gold Apex Lobby right away today. Silver took a couple tries and filled up in progress.

Anyway I have had no problems finding lobbies or having people join mine yesterday, which seems better than a week ago. Not going to say there are tons of people playing this game in general, but it looks to me as if most of the complains about lobbies not filling up seem to come from people playing on consoles. I play on PC and I do seldom have problems finding games or even get my own lobby filled in my timezone (GMT+1). The time required to me feels more or less the same as when I was pugging ME3MP like crazy a year ago.

The player base is dwindling, but today's Daily challenges were easy. 1x Bronze Apex, 1x Platinum Apex and hosted 1 Bronze Magma game. Started the B/M game on my own, others joined wave 3 onward . I dislike the 35k power challenges, then I have to solo at least 1 Bronze game.

It's not going to get better-less than a month away from Destiny 2. Surprisingly when me and a buddy did 2 Magma Bronzes they filled up instantly, it was when we switched back to random random Gold that it turned into a ghost town. Took like 3-4 minutes after we finished the dailies for 2 people to join @.@

I have been running into and equal mix of noobs an vets in the silver lobbies. The other night three of noobs were mic'd and I heard genuine surprise when they started detonating tech and biotic combos.
The next match I started priming enemies with ammo and these guys started really having fun.
Roughly 2/3 the lobbies I have been in the last few weeks have been composed of sub 500 Apex players. There is interest in the game but I have no idea how many stick around once they get a grasp of what the devs have planned for them in terms of progression.

So if daily challenge ask people to play bronze and silver... people actually do it I guess.
I never did them.. because I felt like they were just waste of my time. I rather earn 50000 more credits than play 2 bronze or silver games.
Ultimately speaking, I really don`t care about MF or challenge points... I only do daily ones because if I am going to play 2 games a day I might as well should make most out of them...

Had the same problem yesterday. Damn you xbone! I know MEAMP match maker is notorious to keep dropping us in the same room we didn`t want.. but 5-6 times in a row over few minutes? Come on... It must be because there was no other room available.. but if that is true that`s even a bigger problem.

Suck it up buttercup and play two short bronze games, SNOB! I know what you are saying.. but I really have other games I want to spend time on instead of MEAMP. When I played ME3MP... I couldn`t wait until I get back to my place and play sweet ME3MP. This euphoria rush lasted for more than a year. MEAMP... I am only playing it out of some kind of weird sense of responsibility. I still enjoy it... but I don`t eager to play it and can only play 1 or 2 games at a time because it bores me right after. One game is still good though. It`s fun to go wreck stuffs in gold.

I missed the entire wave of those that played ME3MP. I played it last year for 6-7 months. Worked my up to mainly silver matches with a few gold each night just to stay humble. I watched videos and started to solo maps and finished all of them on silver.
I assumed when I started MEAMP in June it was going to be similar but updated for a more powerful platform and with the context outlined in the SP.
I had a lot of fun with ME3MP. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something different to do for a few months.
The best single word description I have to describe MEAMP is frustrating!
It is as if the devs cut and pasted the ME3MP playbook without fully understanding how all the elements fit together. In order to put their own stamp on it they looked at many of the pieces and said "We need to make that more annoying." We need invisible enemies!! If their not invisible let's find a gimmick that is just as annoying. Throw in some glitched movements for the bosses while your at it. Keep 'em guessing.
And just for fun extend the power cool down times and nerf the daylights out of most of the weapons. That way they empty their mags well before they can use their powers again leaving them standing there holding their collective junk.
Don't forget to add "cover" that way we can claim we tried to the give somewhere to hide while they suffer 2 second reloads and a few more seconds of power cool down....and last but not least and this is really important you squints...program the enemy AI to think and move in 3D with an almost psychic awareness of the players location
Maybe I am being harsh and I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I realize the devs had limited time and resources. I don't want the dev team to walk away from this game without having given it chance to improve in the field so to speak. I read the patch notes for ME3MP. It didn't get to the version I enjoyed without several tweaks. Perhaps there is still time to do the same with MEAMP.
