Bozja feedback thread

Oh god, yeah. Given how it does end, it would be even more absurd on MCH than it was for us healers. Way to disempower the main character by making them dumb as a bag of rocks in cutscenes?

I wonder if it's like the "female arm grab" that renders characters powerless in anime. Go into a cutscene, and suddenly we need an NPC to rescue us because apparently job stones all shut off.

As someone on the lore forum said its probably because they did not want to put in the work by giving each job (and race) its own unique animation...at the cost of the character feeling like they are not even there and being all weak. But just one little change and it would have all made much more sense...we would still be way too powerless but at least still within some reason..

My character probably had to talk it all out with all the voices in her head...a certain Dark Knight one being the loudest...or maybe she just want to punch more stuff? Who knows...

Its also quite sad how our character (and Mikoto too) has the echo and yet its never used in a situation like that...and seeing how Mikoto even can see a bit of the future...yeah really convient that it never works when we truly need it.

Seems like the only way to get a solo duel is to wait towards the end of a dead instance. A friend and I had to spawn, and beat the Vigil for the Lost with just the two of us in the last 30m of the instance. But the duel was guaranteed to be one of ours! Was worth it imo. But ngl, this duel system is wack. I don't understand why you can't just pay Bozja crystals to do the fight. :/

I agree with the sentiments of others that, reserve participants that are eligible are allowed a crack at it, if it ends rediculously fast, or up to x amount of people up until the half time mark or something. Had a friend get in one last night, and he did okay at first...then got rekt not too long after half a minute or so. There was 7 eligible participants in that particular duel instance, the others shouldve gotten a crack at it.

One thing I just want to reiterate is that they should not pop two CEs at once. Get a group with 30 and a group with 8 for the add one with the towers you have to stand in. Not enough people in the group to do the towers, so of course we wiped.

It's just bad design. The more I place Bozja, the more I realize theres a lot of parts of it that are badly designed, even if it is better than Eureka.

Worst thing is that there is actually no reason to do Bozjan. Relic grind should be in there ONLY. No HW fates and dungeon grind. This is stupid. It's a lvl80 relic and we are doing easy lvl50-60 content for it??? Ehhh..... lame.

There's no reason to explore a 7th map zone, experience a couple hours of decent story exposition, and play a 4th Alliance Raid?
Suit yourself, but you can't complain about a lack of content.

Uhhh, if you want to do Bozja then do Bozja.

If all you care about is getting your shiny shine as fast as possible then ok ... that's your choice. Me? I haven't touch 1 lvl60 dng and I have like 28 bitters just having fun in Bozja.

Based on the number of one-shot mechanics in the later CEs, I get the impression SE has decided they just can't challenge healers in terms of healing output, so the best way to do it is on Raise throughput instead. Either that or they intend it to be "go farm those potions that give you more defense before doing stuff" because those things are incredibly strong in that they let someone learning a new CE actually stay alive long enough to learn it instead of being instakilled by everything.

It works fine if people already know what they're doing, but get a group for something like the Behemoth CE while half the instance is in Castrum, and you'll get a bunch of newbies to the CE who don't know how it works. That means it'll be over in about 30 seconds when every single person dies to one mechanic they haven't seen before.

Before Eureka it has always been the case to get the relic by running old content. Which was good for newer players because at least some old content was then used and SE needed less ressources. Then came Eureka and it was the only content we got the relic from...which did not make quite some people happy.

This time you can do both so every side should be fine (honestly the only thing I dont like is that Bozja has worse drop rates). Lets be real, after doing the CE a few times none of that stuff is really hard either. Just because you are "fate" farming as a higher lvl in there does not make it much different from HW fates. Especially if you are in a group.

In my opinion ranks IV+ have too much HP. In general star ranks in particular, even if you have a party of eight with potions and all that, don't feel like they are economical to actually fight. They do too much damage, which means the healer is committing a lot of GCDs, and take too long to down VS everybody just rolling on a Death cast. When the alternative is Death spam, it feels like it's not worth the effort to actually fight them. IVs are doable, but don't feel like the reward is sufficient. It seems the community generally agrees, feeling it's better to group up multiple smaller rank enemies and nuke them; even if they have a lower drop rate, it is such that it's still better.

Speaking of potions, I am getting a lot of gatcha energy from some of these fragments. For example I've farmed loads and loads of awakenings when I started out and barely got any tank essences, getting stuff for roles I don't really want to play instead. And even if it's encourage me to try other roles, that might be more feasible if I didn't have to lose my lost actions on account of wanting to switch to something that suits me better. You can't win.
