This "content" makes me really question why I'm paying money to play this game.

So the drop rate on these memories is really really low, I have managed to make it to rank 5 without getting a single memory drop. That is just too low for Bozja to really be viable for a relic grind, not when there is a huge disparity in the drop rate outside of the zone. Bozja as it is is just a story zone, any actual relic grinding is going to happen outside of this zone.
After having spent a fair chunk of time in this content already, I do want to say that in general they've succeeded where at the very least Eureka failed.. But I think skirmishes spawn too frequently and they die with fair ease.. Much like someone said I've gone to Skirmishes a lot of times just to see those from the resistance solo it with relative ease, and in a very short time frame, begs the question of why the hell I'm there if they're making that much a massacre of the skirmishes...
I'd liked to have seen 1 skirmish spawn at any given time on 1 outpost area for a maximum of 3, and then just have those spawn with relative frequency, say, every 2 minutes after the last was completed. Make them last a good 6-8 minutes, and just adjust the reward accordingly. I don't really expect to manage to hit every skirmish at any given time, but they do fall over too fast for their own good.
It would have been nice for a step to be done exclusively within Bozja. I'm fine with both steps of the relic, but I do feel something should have been exclusive to Bozja itself. Honestly; once I have capped my rank on both of my characters and completed Castrum, the only reason I'll ever step in there afterward is to grind achievements, and the mounts I have still yet to get.
With regards to Castrum, I can't help but think that it should've had a preliminary skirmish of sorts that people participate in prior to going inside, that way people aren't so afraid of entering in CEs when they 'think' that Castrum is about to pop.
I'm not entirely sure as to whether I enjoy, or do not enjoy the way enemies are 'ranked' in this comparative to how it was in, say, Eureka.. It would have been nice to have some sort of 'morale' mechanic/buff that is active on yourself whenever you go into an outpost area that you 'outrank', and I don't mean something as absurd as Eureka where it's like quadruple damage increase, and third damage received, but perhaps a 5-15% increase to damage in the open field, with 5-15% reduction in damage taken, whilst also taking a small hit to chances of getting clusters in said area. Would have made for a nice solo experience, I think. But on this particular thought, god knows how people would feel about it.

bozja is so boring and I could have sworn they said if you just wanted to do story stuff you wouldnt have to go through a hassle. Castrum locks out story stuff and its a hassle, guess I'll wait a year til they nerf it like with eureka.
That was a promise but i think they may have decided to change that at some point during the development stage.
With Castrum being required, players need to be active in the instance and also be in a active one as well. Intances can lock at a certain point as well which force players to leave and find a fresh instance that gets constant supply of players.
there is also little room for mistakes due to the amount of time players are given each phase of Castrum. Players will either have room for 1 wipe or no wipes.

The promise wasn't about story stuff. It was about the relic weapon. Which you can do for faster outside of Bozja.
Hello, if you're reading this, then you should know this isn't part of the post.
Memories drop from mobs.So the drop rate on these memories is really really low, I have managed to make it to rank 5 without getting a single memory drop.

Mettle is rewarded from Skirmishes.
They're entirely separate things except for the fact that one entire Skirmish gives you the same chance as one single mob.
So it's entirely possible to rank up a ton before you get a single memory, if all you do is Skirmishes.
You need to be killing regular mobs.
Okay SO FINALLY got into Castrum with enough people and we won to the end, what a rush of an instance tbh. Thank you to the person who helped us through.
One in three hours, and every time I yell asking for a party I'm completely ignored. The only times people will pick me up is for CEs, and occasionally not even then.

How about no? Forcing people into Eureka didn’t go well. All they need to do is make memories guaranteed from Bozja too.
