Crazy Game Design Idea

[CVXIV]

Bozja was praised extensively by both casuals and hardcore players.

Casuals had something to grind, they had options behind their relic, and it offered a good money making method in addition to several desired items like mounts, minions and TT cards. Addressed the majority of issues people had with exploratory when it was Eureka. Had a friendly entry point and death wasn't as detrimental to the experience, nor was the whole 'elemental level' thing present, people liked this.

Raiders both midcore and hardcore praised it, it gave them a long-term goal for a weapon, it facilitated several large scale raids which they thought were appropriately designed. Released the first formal large-scale savage raid, which those doing savage liked quite a lot, eventually leading to many raiders requesting they release or work on savage alliance raids and large scale raids in the future. Also came with duels, which they complemented, granted the RNG factor of getting a duel wasn't the most well-liked decision. Also included lost actions and essences which elevated their gameplay. Critical Engagements were well received.

I don't recall seeing a lot of praise for Bozja personally, but maybe that's just me

People hated the mettle grind and the fact that the relic was loosely tied into the content so they felt compelled to do it if they wanted that weapon

It was praised well by both casuals and hardcore players, and not an insignificant amount either... Obviously it wasn't flawless, but then nothing is.. It's like if you get down to it, you could say that any given player in the game has never universally liked content even when it was designed exclusively for them, for example, you can still find hardcore raiders that still complain about ultimates to some varying degree. So obviously there's always issues, but again, point being it was well received by both casual and hardcore players.

It was still ultimately content that was designed for both categories of players, and something that both categories enjoyed.
