I'm not sure if it's just because the game's still new and there's not a lot of people as deep into the game as I am, but the only time I've been able to successfully summon someone for co-op was with the Blood-starved Beast. I tried it and it worked immediately, but since then it's just a waste of Insight to try because I will sit and wait for 10-15 minutes and still get nothing. I also don't ever get summoned when I use the small resonant bell. Is it a network issue on my end or does everyone else have a similar issue?

Note: I even put the password in the options of "vinnco" to hopefully get people from this community helping me out, but I've had to go everything alone. That just means I go grind and powerlevel before every boss, but it's fun to play with others too so it's a bummer it's not working.

I'm guessing there are like 0,01% of the community in the Vinnco pass, so you might actually want to try to remove that? I don't know, I've been getting summoned all the time.

You could be overleveled for the areas you are in. Also, the password system is pretty much busted, so definitely remove 'vinnco'.

@doctordonkey: @zevvion: I read somewhere that there was a bug that wasn't allowing people to summon for Vicar Amelia, and since that fight I had the password. I'll try removing it and see what happens. Thanks!

I tried to use the co-op ones a few times early on, and nothing worked. So I just never bothered trying again.

That's what I did. I realized that I've been progressing slowly in this game (kind of how I play these games) so I removed the vinnco password knowing that most of the GB community is really far into the game by now.

Never had a problem, me and my friend have been consistently summoning each other. We make sure to stay within 10 levels, and we've been using the password system. Hovering around level 80 now though so summoning strangers might be more difficult now. But back when I was around 20 - 40 I had no issues summoning or being summoned in most areas
