Current State of Castrum just proves how bad Bozja is

[MPK]

No one does castrum anymore. The rewards are trash. The only reason why people are doing Bozja is to level alt classes. I still cannot believe we lost a deep dungeon for this.

Can SE stop making garbage content like this in the future?

This was completely not worth losing a deep dungeon.

I don't know why they keep trying to make Diadem work and it annoys me that they're trying to force it so hard. They sacrifice dungeons and deep dungeon in exchange for trying to make a version of Diadem that doesn't suck.

Bozjan is the best version of Diadem so far but I still just dislike the kind of content it offers.

Between this and Blue Mage... I mean are there really that many players in this game that enjoy just mindlessly grinding for hours on end?

They stated wanted to put DD back on the drawing board and release it early in the 6.x series, as said in an interview some time ago, they never stated it was cut to make Bozja that's only player assumptions however, Bozja does have problems but they've been pretty good at addressing most of them so far hopefully the rest of the suggestions go through as well

Do you ever do anything aside from complain about Bozja?

Kay - This is the one that also complains about other peoples glamour.

Each content have their strengths and weaknesses, and I loved old Diadem (was so exciting to have powerful pink gears) and even more Eureka because the exploration had meaning with secrets to discover (and it was huge zones).
They were dangerous, long last and were even more friendly inside the team and between the teams.

Bozja has none of this and just looks like a normal zone we are used to see in each expansion (with a more elaborated fates system).
Hopefully the story and music are quite good which are the strengths of Shadowbringers, but that's it.

When I think they could have used the Dream Dungeon system to make a great content.
They put in fact surely many hours to design the solo instance, but didn't reuse it for a multi purpose ?
It's a shame, especially when it says that the dream aspect can change in function of the dreamers.
Sooo, we could have a content where many possibilities, paths and secrets would change the experience each time we get there (random & proc by players).

It's a shame, castrum is fun but past the first clear, there's no real reason to run it anymore. If there were decent mount and minion drops, which could've been done, it would've survived.

That and if the average player was capable of beating fights with 3 mechanics each.

Sometimes they complain about glamour.

Bozja is evidence that FF14 is in decline. The playerbase, the amount of content and the quality thereof are all in decline.

Castrum just needs an incentive. I was on at 7ST yesterday, middle of peak, zero people in a full instance doing Castrum. It actually timed out and not a single person queued for it.

My gripe with Bozja is how the top fates are so undertuned compared to others in middle and bottom zones. Fate in middle and bottom zone can take 5+ minutes to kill and feel like they have billions in HP. Top fate pops and it’s blink and miss it. Be it the one for the Note, the collection fates, even the big Construct fate feels squishy as heck. Yet the plant fate near base can take nearly a full timer if less than 2 full party is there. Lol even middle construct fate lasts longer than the top one and arguably has mor people able to take part
