Bozja feedback thread

[LaylaTsarra]

I view the outside quests as being a nice way to equip multiple roles with weapons. In Eureka you could but you needed a lot more to do so with respect to time and cost in my view. I'm happy to see it and I'm working on my 3rd weapon right now and am close to r11 in Bozja. Just did Castrum and it's a ball.

For those not doing the actual Front well they're missing out in my view. I'm sure it's not for everyone but it's a major content and time sink to the game.

Relative to story my goodness this story line is extremely long and well done compared to the next to nothing story in the Eureka quest line.

Honestly. Once I started to farm cluster memory also dropped like candy. Already completed two relics and I still have 14 extra green memories (meaning two more relics without touching a dungeon).

Is one of the things I like of this area, if you want X you need to do Y instead of just running around following the fate train. Love it.



This kind of drop is rather common if you AoE farm.

Sure, once you are totally done in there fates/dungeons are a better option.

Bozja is only out since 3 days. Give it a few more (the weekend is coming up) and enough people will get over level 10 to fill Castrum regularly.

It is not just a issue of not enough R10 but also when the Castrum spawns.

Once enough R10 players are on the map the spawn of Castrum is random.

It basically spawn during a moment when almost every R10 players are already in a middle of a Critical Mission boss fight or already queue up for a Critical mission boss fight thus they can't cancel out of it and join Castrum. There is also no advance warning if Castrum will spawn soon so players must depend on assumptions when it will spawn.

Personally, this type of issue can be avoided easily if Castrum was up more frequently rather than a hour or 2 wait every spawn time.

Not to mention the Instance Lock when a Instance been up for too long they will lock it so no more players can join thus players must leave and join a fresh new instance.

there also consideration that certain number of R10 players will not do Castrum. Due to Castrum nature of only using players in the same instance, if players are in a instance where a good amount of R10 Players don't want to do castrum then that will add to the cause of low amount of participants in Castrum.

How hard is it? Puppets bunker/Orborne Monastery before nerfs? Extreme? Savage?

I'm close to unlocking it

I would consider it to be a on content Alliance Raid hard, depending on how many people you have and if everyone is working together. We had 29 people and two people knew what they were doing and told everyone mechanics. Last boss I pretty much Focus Targeted the person who knew tbh and followed them lol. As long as you have enough raisers you can be on the floor a few times and still win.

This brings me to the issue I found, is that I finished it and while I very much enjoyed it, it feels a lot like the Alliance Raid on content in that I only want to do it maybe once or twice a day or every other day. The normal gear prices imo are fine; first run I got 19 coins which is enough for one piece that isn't a top. But the amount you need to upgrade ONE piece is insane! Compound that with people being in an instance not caring about the Castrum (usually there to grind clusters like I have been doing, or they just don't care about doing it again), and the fact you can't get coins outside of the Castrum CE. Unless the stats on the gear are going to matter later on when 5.4 happens or they make the Duels "easier", I don't really see the point. They should of had the augmented gear able to be upgraded by grinding something in Bozja itself.

It's very neat and the fights are fun to do, but where are the Lalafell?

I think it wouldn't hurt to add the coins to regular CEs once you've completed the Castrum one cause otherwise you're kind of just left waiting for it to happen and that's really boring.

[Infindox]

Apperently reading another thread on here the upgrades have a chance dropping from a chest? Then that's not as bad, at least.

Well after finishing the Castrum (thanks to some of the guys giving the rest of us some pointers) I will only get to the max rank in there since we probably need that for the next zone and after that I will be done with it. (Bought most of the stuff from the MB.)

For quite some time I tried to get a party to farm some clusters but nobody invited me. I also stayed away from some of the CE because I did not want to miss the chance to get into the Castrum. In one instance where I was in for nearly a full hour the castrum started and we were under 20 people in it because another CE had started a bit ago and people were still in it. The shout chat after we had to leave at the start was quite interesting. People cursing SE for their "great" design decision with that one. A timer would be nice..maybe 15 minutes before it will happen there is a message..something like "the soldiers will soon be ready to storm the Castrum". With that people are able to just wait for it.

Still the fights are hard if you have no idea whats happening, especially the first one with the shared kill. I am really not a fan of these dungeon like contents for that, especially if you lock story behind it and maybe progression depending on what you need to start the next step...(but they cant lock the next relic step behind a castrum clear otherwise their talk about how you can do the relic in two ways is a lie..because you would still need the other way to start the next one).

The story was okay, nothing too outstanding and the WoL suffered from the cutscene sickness again...

All in all I am already bored by the few same fights again and again..in the end they are after all just fates. And since there is no other way to raise your mettle its just fate farming..I am really not sure why we needed a whole new zone for this..make the bozja story line a normal side quest with the Castrum being a HM dungeon and just use the existing old content soley for relic. Heck I still even like the books from the old relic more..at least there was a variety of different content you had to do but each one of them was still not hard, just time consuming. Right now its just Atma farming again..in a new zone.

It's very neat and the fights are fun to do, but where are the Lalafell?

I think the only time I've ever seen an imperial lalafell is in Stormblood when we have to steal armor from the knocked out soldiers. Garleans must just really not like lalafells...

[Fourbestintoner]

One of the many reasons we like Garleans.
