Unlike other content, you can lose EXP when you return after dying. The critical engagments are too difficult and have Extreme level mechanics. The Red Chocobo in particular can easily wipe half the instance and cause everyone to lose tons of EXP because everyone is dead and no one can raise. The Castrum critical engagement also has tons of one-shot mechanics where the very first boss you pull will one-shot everyone one by one... that is just way too hardcore.
I don't know why we're now seeing hardcore content in what is supposed to be an easy, casual grinding experience. Eureka was relaxing but Bozja is not. As an older gamer who no longer have the reflexes of a 20 year old I simply cannot react to the mechanic spam in these critical engagements, which makes it very hard for me to get more mettle since these engagements provide double the mettle as regular FATEs.
Square Enix, please nerf these critical engagements. When 48 people can all wipe to a chocobo, many whom have a "Legend" title under their name, that means you're going way too far and are putting Savage/Ultimate level difficulty content in what is supposed to be a casual relic grind :/

Its not even close to be savage and especialy ultimate difficullty, its just "new" mechanic with unexpected patterns
Sorry guys for getting baited by this troll thread -

No. Go play Sims if this is too difficult for you.

According to the patch notes you cannot delevel like you could in Eureka.
That means wiping will be a moot point very soon.
The Chocobo is super annoying, I give you that.
Mostly because the slightest amount of lag can kill you. Which can happen on patch day in a new, overcrowded dungeon. The mechanics themselves are trivially easy.
I don't think they need to nerf anything. Once people are familiar with the encounters, they will be smooth sailing. -

Or just do FATEs outside of Bozja if you want just the weapons upgrade. -
10-14-2020, 02:53 AMMilitaryVet123Considering the number of people who died to the Red Chocobo who have a "Legend" title, I'm pretty sure that means it is close to Savage/Ultimate difficulty.Quote:

No thanks, we've got something non extreme/savage/ultimate engaging and fun for once, and this is day 1, people will learn. Don't participate if you don't feel confident, or die and learn. (Also why older = bad reflexes ?)

10-14-2020, 02:57 AMMilitaryVet123Bozja is "casual" content that the devs intended to be for casual players like me. It shouldn't be filled to the brim with hardcore fights.Quote:

I agree with OP. I am a triple legend, with 99% parses on every fight, and bozja is far harder content than anything we've ever had before. We should never have content this difficult, ever, because it would be a really bad idea, trust me, because I'm a triple legend with with 99% parses on every fight.

The red chocobo is the best encounter, it delivers everything we could expect from it x)

People want day 1 nerfs already??? I can wait to get home and try this out and see if it's savage lvl hard. If so then at least it will be a challenge. Instead of the old afk borefest that was eureka

Remember everyone to return next week when the OP makes a thread about how Bozja is too easy because SE caved to the casuals and it's insulting that even players with no savage clears are able to do all the content.

Troll thread or not, the red chocobo IS... ...excessive.
Thus far everything else has seemed fine to me. -
