5.35 Bozja - You can't level down from mettle

[Laphael]

It does scale, im losing over 1000 per death at r12.
I find this system stupid. Getting punished for small mistakes; getting punished for learning a fight; and its just annoying overall.

Everything else in there is pretty good, always fates to do and the critical things are fun... if you don´t die.

The penalty for actually dying is pretty small (to the point it seems pointless, unless it scales much more the higher rank you get) although the penalty for 'releasing' is much worse. Luckily people seem amicable enough at responding to 'rez please' markers on /sh.

yes it does scales as you lvl up more, at to a point where you lose more than you gain if you end dying a lot which is something that you cant avoid because everyone is learning.

I for whatever reason can’t find a consistent way to gather clusters. I just want the hairstyle.

While the FATEs do spawn much faster than the ones in Eureka, they still aren't guaranteed to drop the item you need for the weapon.

If I understand right, you'll need 60 for the weapon upgrade. 20 of each of the 3 kinds of memories.

These can also be obtained from FATEs in older areas outside of Bozja as well.

I'm enjoying Bozja, but I'm also someone who willingly does Eureka content; there may be something wrong with me.

However, this bit quoted above actually sort of annoys me; I feel like they have things backwards. Right now, there's a chance for memories to drop in the Bozjan Southern Front. However, there is a 100% chance that they will drop from FATEs outside of Bozja provided you get gold. This means the easiest way to get the Bozjan relic weapon is not to do Bozja.

I think that having the weapons able to be upgraded outside of Bozja is a good idea; having the level 70 relic weapons require Eureka was maybe not the best possible option. But I think that since they are weapons tied to the Resistance storyline and content, the Bozja content should have the better drop rate on the materials for them.

If you find one, please let me know. If there's a way like there was with the one lockbox farm in Pagos I'll gladly do it

Kill mechanical enemies at the starting/mid area and do any fate (are more common in the area I mentioned) involving the same type of enemy. The more people doing it the better, since everyone gets the item if it happens to drop.

I'm glad, not losing rank is awesome. I think exp loss on death is bad game design but the fact that you can't down level means that it doesn't bother me nearly as much.

It's certainly strange and I wonder if they somehow flipped the numbers. Should it be 100% drop rate inside, chance outside?

Or perhaps they're hoping people will balance the choice between "do it faster" and "engage with new content for longer".

[Seraphor]

I honestly don't know what people are complaining about.
Dlying loses you barely 10% of what you gain from a Skirmish of CE. Unless you keep dying repeatedly, or you return to camp, you're still making net progress.
This is far, far better than Eureka

Ah Ty. I also found a tweet that lists the enemies that drop the clusters 50% of the time.
@Packetdancer Any enemy that is labled "4th Legion ____" seem to drop the clusters either 25% or 50% in any of the levels.
