THERE is nothing and I mean nothing that Square Enix can bribe me with to ever want to put up with a raid that has Doom plus Mettle losses to this extent. There is no lee way to learn a fight without extremely punishing mechanics.
This will dead content very soon and people will be crying on the forums. NO tank will bother with this content very soon. You learned a good lesson about making it a queue and auto organizing the party but learned nothing from why people hated Castrum.
It is cool one time but no chance you will ever see me step foot in Delubrum ever again.
Edit: Since I try to be positive. Get rid of the Doom mechanic completely. If you die from something then ok and take maybe a 10k mettle loss in the entire run but 70-100k is just not going to work. The boss mechanics are amazing and it is fun to learn but penalizing people so heavily is just ridiculous.

I think its kinda refreshing.. You actually need to learn mechanics and you get punished for dying. I really enjoyed it :D Much more than the boring Nier raids

I am glad you enjoy raid fights that are 10+ min long where you make the most minor of mistakes or get any lag whatsoever you get an automatic death penalty with mettle loss that takes a lot of time to farm.
Yeah let me tell you that is going to work really great with this games population. Castrum should prove to people beyond a shadow of a doubt that poor rewards plus 1999 mechanics in an MMO will fail. -

Delubrum is the best alliance raid they've ever made. I had a blast doing it and it's the first time I WANT to go back in immediately.
My only gripe is that there is no role lock. My first run took the nearly the entire lockout WITH NO WIPES because we had 4 DPS, 1 Tank, and 18 Healers. 18!!!!! I loved this raid otherwise, but this particularly run was pure torture just by nature of how long it took. -

Delubrum has some of the most creative encounter design we've gotten in a while, too bad it's being overshadowed by all the aggressive crying from people who struggle to do something as simple as pilot their character out of a giant orange circle.

02-03-2021, 08:14 AMPuremallaceI fully agree but for 510 gear that is mehhhhhhhhhhh at best in the looks department there is no chance this has longevity longer then a week with mettle loss and auto death from Doom. I'm just telling you facts right now.Quote:

I don't mind trying to learn punitive mechanics, I liked Delubrum for that, it gives some challenge at least for now. But I agree the mettle loss is hard, farming Fates in Bozja has never been fun in my opinion.
In any case I'd prefer doing Delubrum from time to time rather than farming Syrcus and now 60-70 alliances raids... -

I think it is cool that you get mettle for the weekly turn in for it. It offset anything I lost during the actual raid. I imagine as people get used to the mechs it won't amount to much mettle loss.
