JPN community PUG a lot but i never seen them get to ozma...
is there anymore clear other than the world fist?

People are clearing it pretty frequently from what i've seen but I would also say its likely impossible without coordination outside of the game in the BA Discord for your datacenter.

i would prefer if the system would instead of having to worry about sniping and what not, that it would grant you a token that you could use to unlock a one time duty finder queue so that you could prepare beforehand and organize instead of having to worry about getting 48 people into the same instance.

For me I believe they must make a way for people to queue for the instance. I understand how complex it is to form a premade group and actually get in BA together. But on the other hand it just doesn't feel right to have people enter an instance and start telling people they better not use the portals for BA. For example, yesterday the support fate popped and a premade was telling everyone to get to it to help those who are running BA. Then they said that if anyone who isn't in the premade enters a portal they won't get any heals and will be black listed. So several people started saying okay then, kill your own support fate.

So although I believe people in premade groups should be able to run BA together, other players shouldn't be threatened with being black listed just because they want to run it as well. If it were up to me I would kill the whole portal idea and make it so players can queue for BA only from within Hydatos and match groups with the right jobs for the run. Otherwise a lot of players are going to feel alienated and lose interest.

I totally agree, warning people to not take portals with a blacklist is WAY too overboard. We're on the same data center so we likely have the same raid groups going in and out of these instances, but I havent YET seen people threatening like that. Luckily my groups have been cautious about saying anything in /shout that could be interpreted as malicious because we NEED that fate to be killed and I've personally had to back out of BA twice (out of maybe 10) due to the instance not killing the fate.

I had one run so far where they shouted and threatened with "we WILL report you!!" "its against the rules!!!" etc... which is BS, utterly. Griefing or trolling in an malicious way surely is and should be reported, but it IS a puplic dungeon and no one can claim it. its like doing an Ex dungeon and just claim the loot with "im sry i gotta gear up my twink so you dont roll on anything!" lol

That right there is my biggest issue with BA at the moment is non stop threats and drama which honestly has been started every time by people on some discord that was setup essentially claiming that joining their discord to form a premade is a REQUIREMENT to do BA and anyone that takes a portal without doing so is breaking the ToS by griefing. This has annoyed me since FFXI when Sky was released as I would frequently get harassed by US based linkshells claiming they OWNED a time block in sky because they signed up on some unofficial website I never heard of and had no intention of ever visiting because I had taken out various NM's they wanted to go after. I might have been nice enough to pop things for them with the items I had if they had been civil about it but since they weren't I gave them the option of paying out the nose or go home.

I kinda wish they would remove the amount of people allowed inside and stop portals from vanishing when used. Admittedly, this may break balance as with that many people things might get steamrolled but at least people could stop complaining about not being able to get inside and play the content or absolutely having to use Discord to form a group. Which makes me wonder what are the PS4 players doing? Or are you guys just not playing BA at all?

[Rockette]

You just use discord from your phone or tablet. It's no big deal. Do the same thing in a raid group during savage.

[Liam_Harper]

What I don't understand is what the public system in a dungeon created intentionally to be extremely punishing, is meant to achieve? What was their vision in making this public instead of a pre-made queue system? What made them decide "things will go much better if we remove the ability to queue premade and allow players of various classes to jump in randomly unprepared"?

I don't get it. What's the benefit to this system?

I use discord on my laptop to do it
It is actually sickening that people are threatening others over these portals, I have asked nicely whenever someone was around a portal i intended to use if they say good luck i thank them/ do a hug or dote if they go i wanna see in there i wish them good luck as i will be trying as well then inform my grp they may need to replace me should i be too slow. I do not own portals nobody does threatening players is hands down scummy behaviour
