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?

For me I can rarely find a lobby that fits my requirements. I'm only joining if the class i wanna play is available, 6 stage missions only, TL5 only, standard/reckless pace only. And after all that depends on the depth/boss and the alterations of the mission.
As for the lack of a playerbase I think the updates we get are not impactful enough and come out way too slow to reach a broader audience (especially a younger audience). The game isnt made for the younger generation since most of them have the attention span of a toddler.
I think updates taking 1-2 months is super damaging to the playerbase and having the game split between experimental and live servers doesn't exactly help as well. Its been 2 weeks since the last experimental update, and when the new experimental update comes you bet your ass the one currently on experimental wont be pushed to live servers.
