I need to vent about my disappointment in Bozja. What even happened here?

[NefarioCall]

Im a furry and i dont like bozja, i don't like ffxiv battle system, its boring as hell, I'm more of a ffxi player

Only thing good about xiv, to me is the storyline, i wish they made xiv into a single player rpg with just trusts, it could work

I've literally only leveled 2 jobs and am saving the rest to level with Trusts lol.

So as a fan of Eureka I feel like Bozja wasn't developed for me. I really liked the slow, social aspect of Eureka but when I hop into Bozja it was just run run run run run run run all the time. Doing Bozja on my alts was actually what burnt me out of the game for 6 months. I had to take a long break. Since I've come back I barely touch Bozja, I just refuse to do it.

I understand people don't want Square Enix to go back to a Eureka like zone for Endwalker, but I hope the zone they do make (if they make one) will be a zone where you're not continuously running everywhere non stop for hours on end.

[TaleraRistain]

I haven't gone back yet. I've kind of stalled at 20. I think the part I hate the most is that I'm STUCK there. It's an instance. I can't do things in it waiting for a queue. I can't go hit Eulmore for something or pop into my FC house and then go back to what I was doing. I am stuck there, waiting for only what content they put there to engage with.

I'm also up to the Timeworn Artifact step on the relic and it may just be nope out time. I don't mind DR. I do mind all the bitching about the "right" essences. The idea of having to go out into this zone I hate and farm those makes me just not even want to play the game. So I stay out of DR runs. I've tried the PotD route because I do actually enjoy that. Did 51 to 100 and nada. Did a 1-10 on a lol and one dropped. There needs to be some buffing there, so that's a viable alternative path. Then people like me can leave DR to everyone else and still progress our weapons.

[Avidria]

Yeah I mean, I actually enjoyed Bozja for the most part, but it is an incredibly boring zone with a very lackluster story that relies on most of the characters being utterly clueless and incompetent to even progress. So. Yeah, pretty disappointing in some areas.

Still not immediately and intensely off-putting as Eureka was when it first came out for me. I still haven't spent more than like an hour in there lmao

I really liked the FATE aspect and the ability to level my 71-79's. I like the raid designs of CLL, DR, and Dalriada (maybe) but I absolutely despise the one-shot mechanics, the loss of progress, and the completely failed attempt at being role agnostic.

Hard for me to tell if I liked Dalriada... the first and only time I went in there I was in a party with no healers. First time, never seen it, (don't learn squat from videos so don't bother), so of course I died. Of course the other parties had plenty of healers that were oh so happy to throw a rez but sod-all for heals so of course I'd eat dirt at the next raid-wide. Haven't been back to Bozja/Zadnor since.

Eventually I'll convince myself to trash all the remaining tokens clogging up my inventory.

An active ongoing warzone isn't pretty or flashy, it's depressing. The trenches should have given that away.

This would be the reason to have lifestealing essences or actions like lost cure if you are not a healer. I frequently do CLL and Dal with no party when playing tank or DPS and the lifesteal on its own is enough to deal with raid wide AoE.

No point. No amount of healing is going to save me from twice-come ruin. Thanks to ping, age, or both I will get hit by crap that I was clearly out of on my monitor. Garbage mechanics are garbage which is my whole point. Bozja/CLL/DR/Zadnor/Dalriada had a lot of potential but were absolutely ruined by trash-tier design like essences and insta-kills.

When I enter an instance as a particular role I'm there to BE that role. Oopsie nobody else wants to be tank or healer just doesn't cut it.

So the design in your mind is trash because you get hit by mechanics and die which may or may not be also being blamed on the latency of your internet connection and that it also doesn't require the other 2 roles to hold the hand of your dps and wipe it's nose for you and instead gives you tools you can use to do things for yourself?
