Can Delubrum Reginae Queueing get some love?

You are very, VERY lucky if you manage to queue in with other players.

We tested this last night with 15 people, all solo queueing at the same time (Since you cant start DR queue with half full groups.. WHY?) and at the 10 minute mark we were all put into solo/duo/trio instances and not in the same one.

Something is wrong with the queue system and needs to be fixed.

It's probably beyond time that changes were made in Eureka and Bozja both.

1. No more death penalties. They serve no purpose other than to annoy.

2. Delubrum needs to be likely be remade as an 8-man that will not queue until you have at least 8 people. Rebalance the fights for 8.

3. Remove the XP limitations of Eureka. It's too much of a pain to try and have a constant group at the same level so everyone gets XP. The fact you can die and rank down increases this aggravation and makes the content not fun. Which is why most avoid it like the plague.

Eureka i didn't have much of a problem with, i'm 9/15 relics complete and every armor set +2, its mostly solo content until you reach hydatos/ba anyway.

Bozja did improve on the system a lot, but now that the content is long past it's expiry date, the queues need to be adjusted.

DR is easy enough to complete in 8man parties, they should just make it a multi-fight trial queue.

You're in OCe, thats already bad lol.

Good luck

Based on the server showing Tonberry, she's not any more. That's a JP server.

Maybe people need a reminder of the mount drop they can get for helping out?

15 people queueing at the same time all split up? That does sound a little weird. Did you submit a bug report?

So apart from being dead content it also broke on top of that?

It was broken when it was current content. Being able to use DF instead of PF to q for it and other QoL have been sorely missing. Nothing about the optional content seems future proof.

The death penalty on 2 missed mechanics also pretty much disincentivizes the HP up and Healing up valor rewards. What's the point of having more HP and Healing if 2 hits is going to kill you no matter what?

Instant death mechanics are lazy design. Always have been.

I'd imagine it has a bit to do with it forcing you into an instance after 10 minutes has passed. Something probably messing up and shoving people into their own instances after 10 minutes since people cannot join part-way.

The raid already scales to the number of people in the zone. Doing it with 8 people is very doable. I used Party Finder to find a group to clear it a few times about a month ago.

DR with 8 people is quite doable when everyone uses pure essence and proper lost actions.
The problem is that the Echo doesn't scale enough at all when you go in as a group of under 8.
In fact the echo feels almost the same no matter you are in a group of 2 or 8. (I haven't tried solo yet but I don't expect it to be too different)

A lot of newbies not understanding the dungeon just go in to have a random match and they rage quit after seeing how tough the first boss is.
I've heard this a lot and actually seen it myself.
I mean if it were still a brand-new content, of course it shouldn't be made too easy. But at this point it's almost a dead town already.
Why not just make it easy for everyone like how the past relic weapons are all easily soloable? (except BA obviously)
