Bozjan - ready to rage quit

[Kyuuen]

I am getting quite frustrated with FATE scaling in Zadnor. In a populated instance, and a group already roaming zone 3, you are LUCKY if you can actually get to a FATE in time to earn a gold - even as a tank. They die so quickly, frankly half a group is enough to clear some of these before others can even get there. Almost to the same extent in zone 2, it's very annoying.. Even more so due to the first stage (3 quest, 3 zone) relic drops being partly tied to these FATEs.

Yeah, I'm all but certain there's going to be a maintenance to address this. There's no reason a fate in a full instance should be getting nuked down in less than a minute with only a handful of people present in an area with 2-3 full active parties worth of people.

There has to be. This needs to be addressed. It's ridiculous. I am going in on tank with essence and the best I can pull is a silver the majority of the time in zone 3 and that's me rushing in as soon as it's popped! I can pull a gold on occasion, but it's more of a waste of time than anything else - the travel time and no reward.

You running solo?

Do you have the riding map yet? They cost 25 crystals I think. Alternatively the SDS Fenrir has the movement speed boost enabled in there if you don't want to grind the crystals.

I was having trouble getting to them at first until I started using the bike and even less trouble as I unlocked more aetherytes. Also cheesing as tank is the best way to go about it IMO.

Of course.

Yes, another player and I were able to complete a FATE in less than 10 seconds in the 3rd zone. However, I think this FATE scaling might be by design considering the quantity of FATE item drops required to complete a relic weapon. The developers may intend for fast and frequent FATE spawns and endings.

Yeah, and there is also this one to the northwest of zone 3 - with the elephant (?) or whatever - where it's the NPC actually nuking down the FATE. It's quite ridiculous.

I bought the riding map as soon as I got in there. I am no stranger to cluste farming. I would definitely agree it is a necessity in there.

I'm really glad I saved all my clusters and didn't waste them on cosmetic items. Nabbed the riding maps right off the bat...never looked back or thought it was a waste.

Bozja would be BROKEN if you could fly. ZERGfest and progression wouldn't be fun at all. The gradual unlocking gates progression and gives others opportunity to get in the meat of the content. Eureka was a nightmare just going from one fate to the next.

Bozja is leaps and bounds better then Eureka just because each fight requires you to be awake or you going to die and lose mettle.

My ONE gripe that I have is that they should have put the relic 30/30/30 items BEHIND castrum and delibrum as well promote people going back into that content.

I know why they put it behind the raids though...just to help the new subs experience the alexander and omega raids which are great. I just felt this was forcing veterans to jump through hoops to play old content and zerg it. Kind of takes away from the progression of that old content for new players, and makes it trivial to old players.

Bozja should have it's own feedback loop self contained to serve that content. SE needs to incentivize the veterans to come back to the older content rather then shoehorn it in along with the new content. It only makes me HATE the older content even more. I never want to run Crystal Tower or Void Ark EVER AGAIN. Like....ever.

Delubrum is probably fine as is (aside from some insanely low drop rates anyway) but Castrum could have used this for sure. There's a weekly quest available after clearing the Zadnor raid for people to go back for some platinum coins but after everyone gets their armor they will probably go back to running DR and skirmishes/CEs again.

At least the gear is half decent. They mostly look TERRIBLE.
