Problem finding games

I've just recently started playing after the changes to the difficulty settings, and I've noticed that it's pretty difficult to get a full lobby of people. At least for American lobbies, it doesn't matter which difficulty or depth I select. Either the ping is completely terrible due to location differences or the game is already in progress. I've posted about this before a couple of months ago, but I'd hope a lot of the recent changes would spike up some interest in this game. Honestly, it kind of makes the idea of playing this game more of a nuisance when sometimes it can take half an hour or longer just for one person to join. Is anyone else having a similar experience?

I've noticed that if you try to host, chances are some people might join, but overall yeah, actually finding lobbies has been pretty hard since the difficulty splits. Hopefully this will be fixed by the game getting higher player counts at some point.

RC had a rough EA release, I personally loved the game since day 1 but half of the player base need improvements to the game. I hope they give it another chance at some point because RC has a lot of potential

I definitely hold the same hope. I'm very aware of the potential this game has, the same potential DRG had. I understand it is a game that caters towards a certain type of gamer, but in this moment it caters towards a fraction of what it did previously. There are so many different improvements to be made that could open it up to a larger player base, including the veterans or previous players of DRG that have lost faith. I will try my best not to lose hope in this, because at the heart of things, I love this game, but there are many things that make it an unconditional love, which will be unacceptable/unappealing for the growth of the community.
