Castrum Lacus Litore need a Hotfix.

[LambdaTheos]

New 80 player, need my relic weapon, a castrum run is mandatory in order to unlock the next steps.

But since Castrum rewards are so pointless (and a failed run can lose you a bunch of mettles) players rather farm Fates and Special Encounters instead.

On average each Bozja instances I got are filled with only 20% of players that are willing to join a castrum run. Around 15-20 peoples only, its not enough.

You have 30 mins to clear the first boss, considering Bozja does not grant any proper Party finder in 30 mins you have to:
- Group into balanced parties
- Separate into 2 groups (1 bottom & 1 top)
- Kill the first boss
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME, Often I could get a pull with 25-30 peoples but since most of castrum runners are first timer(AND WE ARE ONLY 30 or less) it would end in a Wipe and not enough time to do a 2nd pull.

I dont think this is an ok state for a raid, it is keeping a lot of player from unlocking content.

FIX IT.

God forbid anyone has real life things going on that will pull them away from the game..

This being your main point hurts your stance a lot. You're basically confirming that certain content is only viable for a small window of time and if you don't participate at that time (maybe you weren't subbed, maybe you weren't even a player yet, perhaps you had other stuff planned, etc.), then you don't get to have the rewards from it anymore. Does that actually make sense to you?

Lots of content is always viable and easy to get into because there's repeatable and desirable rewards for anyone who's already done it. I doubt most people actually want to do CT anymore, but they do alliance raid roulettes anyway for the tomes and other stuff. So that content is always filling up. Get it?

There should be incentive for people to go in again, especially with new players. Perhaps a new player bonus like in other duties, so they're encouraged to join and help people who need to go in. Because, like the OP said, it barely fills up half way and almost everyone is new so it's almost destined to fail. That's not a good design, no matter how you try to spin it.

This is not a good argument. Time sensitive content being a requirement to progress other content would make for bad design, it's unfriendly to new players, players on hiatus, players focused on other content etc.
And I think content longevity is a positive thing, especially if you need it to progress because dare I say, the Devs probably want more people playing the content their put their hard work into.

1 - "80 new player" please read before commenting.
2 - If running this raid requires third party programs and schedule then there is an error in game design, this is not Savage nor Ultimate this is a normal raid that grant no rewards at all.
Not only mentionning the fact that you can enter Bozja with only a 8-man party, Bozja was DESIGNED to be run with Pick Ups only and not premades of 48-man raids.

I don't know the situation on chaos but on light we have quite often a CLL run without it being organized.

You just need to be lucky with other CE being active, because the prefate for the 1v1 will reduce the registrations for cll.

Also, there should be a hotfix tomorrow.

[LunaChild]

hotfix coming tomorrow tho

[Naoki34]

If it turns out to be a hotfix with more loot ration and that's it!

For the moment, it is a good generator of time for nothing 90% of the time.

This content is absolutely fun really kof kof!
