    It is just implemented really poorly. They tried to address the complaints from the people who did not like eureka. Those who liked Eureka still mainly like that content design better. Most those who didn't like eureka just do everything relic progression wise outside Bojza and never set foot in there. So they made a piece of content that most people don't like.... Also doesn't help that the gear and weapons from Bojza are so bad Ilvl wise atm crafted stuff just outclasses them so there is no draw for people to do the content outside vanity purposes or completionist.

    They added xp to the fates in there to lvl uncapped jobs and it was suppose to be a draw to doing content in there, but xp wise it is slower then doing stuff outside the instance. Everything in there is just horribly unrewarding. Need to buff drop rates in there so progression is faster then spamming HW fates (Or nerf the fate drop rate by 75ish%), and they need to increase job xp to be the same rate that you got xp %/hr wise that you got in HoH and PotD in older expansions. There needs to be a reason to enter content. Or what happens is once people complete it story wise and progression wise they just do not do it anymore.

    When they add the next tier people will enter it again to progress. But again you will only have a small window to do it before everyone stops again.

    SE really screwed up on Castrum loot, and then doubled down and outright ruined it allowing bozja coins to be farmed from fates after completing castrum once. It outright destroys any desire to for most to go back in there as the drop rates on anything else in there are outright garbage. Coins need to be removed from the fate rewards, and castrum should not be locked to only the instance it spawns in.

    I think Castrum needs to be moved to be a separate instance in the duty finder, if that's possible at this stage - could be phrased as needing to withdraw to Gangos and prepare before you begin the assault, which would justify leaving the Bozja instance to queue for it.

    Castrum isn't that bad of an instance with a full group tbh. It's a better Alliance Raid. First boss is a split boss, then you fight trash mobs, split up to save prisoners (who can die, but it's not the end of the place if they do), regroup to murder the final mob, then go forward for a boss and bonus chests for everybody you saved afterwards, then you go fight the final boss. In terms of overall difficulty, I'd say it's mechanically easier than WoD but more difficult than Void Ark.

    Personally I can't even get that far. It's been very difficult to find a stable party to do fates with.

    I think they have next to no idea what they're talking about as Yoshida has said numerous times that there will be a non-Bozja path for the entirety of the relic series. I don't expect any bit of Bozja past the initial unlocks in the previous two interations to be even remotely required.

    This has been my problem when I've gone in the last few times. And when I do get invited it's always by a healer who seems to have forgotten they are one who won't invite others, usually paired with a single dps. lol I'm 4/4 there and it is always someone different. As a tank though you probably don't need a group for most things outside of Critical Engagements. It's just helpful to have one. Having a healing action makes things that much more solo friendly.

    It's quite a bit harder then any Alliance raid. You need to manage for yourself your party structure to make sure you have at least 2 parties with a healer and a tank in it (or hope that people use Essences which is extremely unlikely). While that was done in the beginning now it's very unlikely to find people willing to organize that.

    How? I do the whole thing solo (FATE grinding), and get golds all the time. I'm at over 500 Fates (recent achievement) there. Why do you even need a party?

    Even if perhaps they made the lock boxes turn into tokens or something. 4 tier tokens, each token can be vendored for immediate average npc sale price gil for that group (as if you had purchased and vendored the items themselves). They can keep the reveal effect, just reveals which tier token you get rather than which specific item. May even have some sort of fail safe mechanic so it's like 99 of X token can be spent to upgrade into 1 of the next tier.
    Lockboxes here straight up suck. I should be excited to open them, I'm not. I toss out most of the stuff I get in them. Like literally just throw it out of inventory. To this day, I have yet to get the mount ONCE. Out of the hundreds, upon hundreds of lockboxes I've opened the best things I've gotten were three minions, and a pure white dye.

    Because it takes an eternity to kill things solo. It's seriously not fun, and this content was designed to be dealt with in a party.
