Bozja feedback thread

[Reinha]

So after trying Castrum I have some feedback to give.

I've enjoyed it a lot. You get unusual arenas and branching corridors, splitting into smaller groups, having an elite team/player handle a mechanic during a fight and so on. The style of this raid is very WoW-like. Most importantly, you can fail. That's what makes me go back again and again. Well the loot is pretty good too.

The 6 minute timer update is great news. One minute is incredibly tight and causes people to afk in the instance for up to 15 minutes prior because there is no clear timer on Castrum. Since the instance only holds 72 people it's not ideal to have people go afk because critical engagements don't scale.

Unfortunately I have discovered that going to Castrum at rank 11 is not a good idea. The mettle loss from every death and wipe disincentivizes me from taking risks and participating in harder challenges, especially if there is no chance of gaining more mettle than I lost at the end. I have seen people in Bozja asking why so few people are joining Castrum and the fact that you get punished for it is probably why.

If Bozja is worthwhile content, it will be able to stand on its own feet without needing to prop up the numbers up by forcing people into it.

Exactly. PotD or HoH didn't need a relic to stay alive. Bozja is not "relic content", it's just content. As someone who hated Eureka but likes Bozja it's odd to see supposed Eureka fans complain about Bozja being worthless.

Did that get changed too, because CE were definitely scaling before. Me and 3 other ppl took down the math-bot CE without a problem on the first day and I have had a group of 10 do just fine in the red choco CE.

Really? I may be wrong then. The participant limit of 24 or 48 made me think it's a set difficulty.

Nope, they definitely scale, day 1 those of us who got to rank 8+ early in the day were tackling the CE in small groups since that is all that were able to get up north. And since then I have been in a few that had limited ppl join and we did just fine.
