I appear to have already missed the boat on bozja

From YoshiP's latest interview

Gamer Escape: With the inclusion of the Bozjan Southern Front, we got access to Castrum Lacus Litore. The Save the Queen story requires players to complete the assault on the Castrum in order to move forward with the questline, however some players have stated that they’re finding it difficult to find instances of the area where there are enough people willing to do the content. Do you have any plans to address this?


Naoki Yoshida: "Currently, with the release of Patch 5.4, many players are tackling the new content and running the Savage tiers of Eden’s Promise. I am aware that there are not as many people running Castrum Lacus Litore as players might hope for.

With Patch 5.45, we will be implementing Delubrum Reginae and its higher-difficulty Savage version, so we’re anticipating this will bring more people to the Bozjan Southern Front to address the situation.

We also plan to have system updates to this content on top of adjusting the rewards to match these changes, so we appreciate your patience in the meantime as we work to adjust things."

I read this and system updates seems interesting

Perhaps auto scaling to number of players?

I got two clears yesterday one on Crystal DC and one on Aether DC. They were both with Discord. I prefer not to have to use it but have in the past with BA. I had no trouble getting groups the same day I joined. The prospect of camping the zone and hoping for a clear wasn't something I willing to do. Pretty depressing they haven't addressed the issue yet and having to wait for 4.5 to do so isn't what should have been the case.

Really don't want Discord to become the only way to get a group. For me, not including raiding and PotD/HoH which is meant for chatting, it's a failure of content if you MUST use an outside program just to get a chance to do something. It's 100% possible to pug the area, people just don't want to do it because there's no reallgood reward except MAYBE if you want the Siege Liege title.

Twitter XIV account just tweeted that we are getting both BLU and Bozja updates next Tuesday, so we'll see if that brings more people in hoping to get it done before the patch drops.

I think LATELY people have been trying to get in there and get some clears. I saw one last night, and I saw 4 attempts. Prior to this I hadn't even seen attempts for awhile. So something has spurred people, at least this weekend, to really try and get a clear.

We will probably see an increase this week now that the patch date is set, both in Bozja area and Castrum. Hopefully people can get it done that want to.

Oh

oh i'm not happy about having to use Discord for this content but seriously since the dev team seems to be inclined to not fix it.

Lets hope those the patch addresses the issue then. That would be good news for the content. I'd also like to see them address the memory drop issue given one can get to R15 and be lucky to have enough memories for a weapon unless one does cluster farming but I'm not sure that is something people should have to do to get a weapon.

[SturmChurro]

R15 and be lucky to have enough memories for a weapon unless one does cluster farming but I'm not sure that is something people should have to do to get a weapon.

I mean, why not? They can either farm mobs in Bozja or they can grind FATEs (at this point more than likely solo) in HW. Without trains running, farming mobs in Bozja is actually the most efficient way, in my opinion. Especially when it comes to Bitter Memories, unless people like doing antitower or whatever SIX times for ONE weapon. Cluster farming in particular, will give people access to certain desirable items, and or items to sell on the marketboard. It's a win, win. People can also farm fragments.

This is my current (Rookie) number of memories, this is all from inside bozja too (I already spent the ones I grinded FATEs for early on):

I've run tons of cluster farms on my toons but my point is that there is no leveling associated with running those and the memory drops from fates and CE's is seriously terrible. One shouldn't have to leave the zone to get memories in my view they should be made readily available inside the content. Yeah cluster farms are efficient but that's not my point the drop rate for the other content inside the zone sucks and I'd like to see the drop rate adjusted.

And that is a pretty impressive number i might add.

That's intentional and not something that should be fixed.

[LaylaTsarra]

That's debatable. I can remember Anemos when one hit R20 you had enough crystals for 3 weapons . Here you can hit R15 and not be lucky to have enough for one. Sure you can say run clusters and I have but that's not in my view how the content should work and I have multiple toons are R15.
