I think it's great in the sense that I literally don't even have to set foot in it to get my relics. I hated Eureka with a burning passion, so thank you SE for saving me the headache this round.

Out of curiosity, I did go in just to check it out. It's basically Eureka reskinned in mud. Glad I'm not missing anything.

See you in 5.4!

For maybe 1 relic but for 17? You're doing 1020 FATES. That's the definition of a grind.

Fair but not everyone is crazy like I am and getting every relic. Most people are fine with 1-3. You could even space it out like one session a night if you are getting all.

Square Enix please give more time for people to get into Castrum. The timer at the moment means that at times you'll get a top of 10-15 people in at once because people still stuck on a previous critical engagement. Fix this.

Wish duels happened more often, for a one player event in a session of 72, you'd think it would happen more often to give everyone a chance

Duels aren't meant for everyone. They are extremely difficult, and only the most skilled players will have any chance of beating them.

That would still hold true even if there were more opportunities to participate.

I think they should've just let multiple people queue for the solo fight, and if the first player dies then one of others who queued can come in to take a crack it as long as the boss still has time remaining.

There is a legit problem in that you can potentially go days without a chance to attempt one of the solo fights depending on how much competition you're having to deal with. Gabriel is the worst by far as the associated fight's mechanics are much simpler then that of the chocobo or Dainslief so I regularly have to roll against 15+ others for a chance at the fight.

what's good

+ skirmishes spawn fast
+ CEs give plenty of mettle
+ easy to target and farm what you want (farm mechanical mobs for clusters, star ranks for fragments, memories in different zones)
+ getting a castrum run together isn't pulling teeth like it is with BA
+ lost actions are way more simple to get this time than eureka's logo actions, plus you don't have to fuse them
+ relic acquisition and armor acquisition is simple
+advancement is fast and simple

what's bad
- starting out kind of sucks because of slow mount speed but it gets better the further you progress
- castrum gives no mettle
- there seems to always be a CE that spawns right before castrum does, which can make getting a good castrum run in impossible
- the prerequisites for duels is ridiculous and only depends on if you don't die and also don't take a vuln stack from anything. it should be based on personal performance based on role (dps, damage mitigation, healing) which is how you are rewarded in fates and hunts
-snapshotting on a lot of abilities is awful. feels like it might have been calibrated with japanese servers in mind where there is no ping

so not nearly as painful as eureka's unending crystal grind. it's even better now because armor and weapon upgrades are independent from eachother. only real gripe is with duels

I think the main intent of having a pre-requisite for queueing for the solo fights was to thin out the amount of competition.

Not to mention people who can't dodge the mechanics in the prior CEs likely don't have the consistency and/or awareness to beat said solo fights anyways. Not getting hit is much more important then putting out maximum DPS there as basically all avoidable damage will instakill if you're not using manaward or a death prevention cooldown (Though I'm pretty sure even those don't work on everything).

The DPS check is very lenient if you're using offensive lost actions as they're tuned around the fact that melee are going to have be peeling off the boss to perform mechanics on a regular basis. It does also mean that ranged DPS have a huge advantage over the other jobs, though.

i don't think it's bad there's a prerequisite, but i think it's bad when you can quite literally luck into it

Yes but the problem is (especially with Gabriel) that everyone who met the requirement can be chosen to go in, even if you 100% can't beat it. One instance of Gabriel that popped the person who was chosen didn't even go into the arena and wasted the time, so people didn't even get to watch it, and thus wasting it.
