Bozja feedback thread

[Chione]

I'm having fun in Bozja for the most part, but it honestly makes no sense to me that running HW fates is the better way to get the relic done. Especially when the heart of the new content requires bodies in the instance to win. Why make it the less desirable option?

Castrum is also fun, but awful unrewarding if you're not interested in the gear. I wish it rewarded mettle, or maybe even a cluster or two. I've gone in and won a handful of times but I probably won't bother with it anymore unless the party I'm in happens to queue up.

My personal verdict: Bozja is a neat way to level alt jobs ( from 71 tho? w-) but it's not much more than that after the story is done. Really would have liked to farm relics in here.

It's meant to be that way to incentivize learning the duels (Since all 3 of the 1v1's award 99 lockboxes for successful victory), rather than let everyone accumulate ridiculous amounts of lockboxes just by mindlessly zerging like in Eureka. Bozja's lockboxes adopt the methodology of 'put in the work to learn much harder fights and you'll get much better rewards than those that don't.'

Is there anything that drops from the lockboxes you can actually make money off of though? It took my bf several months to finally get the anemos mount from lockboxes. It tooks me weeks of grinding to get something like ceto's claw to drop in eureka. The mounts are dropping left, right and center, there's not much to make from them on the marketboard. Any time I think I've made money the mb is already oversaturated with some of the worst undercutting I've seen. Trying to complete a duel to get 99 isn't worth my time if the entire loot table is popping up from the average joe's casual farm.

5.35 forwards the path of casual inclusion in terms of personal rewards. Yet, Bozja is quite a mild case in this respect: Everything was easy. Is easy. Continues to get even easier in just the span of a week and thus no money was ever to be made on this patch. It's filler. Good filler. But filler nonetheless. Had they used the bunny fate mechanic instead, there would be monetary gain to be had.

Personally, I would have liked to see Gabriel be somewhere around ~500 clusters, Construct ~350. A straight hour of cluster farming can net one ~50-75 clusters alone. Instead, I randomly got Gabriel my second day in with only 31 lockboxes. Lockboxes don't take work. It takes luck. And luck doesn't equal hardwork. It equals artificial work. Instead SE could have put a pricetag on it, even if that pricetag is high, everyone can at least measure their progress to attaining it. If the only mechanics we have is grinding currency and depending on mathematical luck to get a drop, I'd much rather grind. That to me is the most worthy of time and effort worthy of reward.

I really think there needs to be a way to get queue priority for solo fights on top of the existing pre-requisite to even be able to queue for the fight in the first place.

It would help weed out the people who are just doing it for kicks vs. those who are actually serious about winning and bringing their best actions and what not.

I did read someone suggesting for the duel queue to take into account how prepared that person is. Maybe taking into consideration a player holster and the number of upgraded Bozja pieces equiped could be an option.

Personally, I will prefer what you suggested: fate stays up and everyone that queued take turns until someone defeated it or the boss defeats everyone.

I'm not a real fan of the coins required for the coffers; those numbers are kind of absurd.

Upgrades can drop from any boss chest (I think each one can drop up to two kinds of upgrades?) and are tradeable. Exchange coins for those is a "last option" deal. In a way, the number of coins required is similar to those 99 totems. However, I see your point, feels too much if you are unlucky and have to grind all the way. My personal problem is how unreliable my ability to go in when I want is.

I love that idea! Why can't they do that with the duels!? If someone fails let someone else take his place!

Also the Duel System is..well I mean it works, but you'll have to be competing with a huge pool of other players just to get a shot at it that may take you weeks or never at all.

The duels are kinda ridiculous to get into right now. I'd like it if when someone fails, the next person gets in line to go up next. Have the boss fight multiple people so it's fair for everyone to get a chance. Leaving your luck in RNG hands is kinda ridiculous. It's different for raids because after awhile you can just buy the gear you've been failing to roll on. For this? There's no remedy and there needs to be. How many times do people have to watch someone go in unprepared, die in the first 30 seconds, and have to either keep re-instancing or just wait for the rare fate to spawn again?

Totally needs to be looked at. At this point people are just leaving to the next instance and not even watching the fight anymore, which was the main purpose. But if people are in Q if the first person possibly loses, I'm sure they'd stick around longer.

I can't get into the critical engagements because they're all calling for level 10 and above, and I'm only at 5, so all I do is ride around looking for skirmishes that have other players engaged, and jump into the fight, and for that, I might get a memory token.. I just can't bring myself to log in for this, so I haven't played most of this week.

Have you asked for parties in shout? Some don't mind carrying someone lower level around to the skirmishes/CEs you can get to until you are high enough level.
