I love Bozja, but the way Castrum (queing) works is painful.

I don't really know if the devs read the english forums, and I imagine plenty of people are echoing the sentiment, but we just got screwed out of a Castrum because a different CE popped up 10 seconds before it did, and i'm hella upset over it.

Now yeah those people could have used the Return trick, or withdrew their signup, but they shouldn't HAVE to....Like, have it display a constant timer on it or something so that people can be ready for it, or just make it not Pop while other CE's are up, it just feels AWFUL at the moment.

Or hell, allow queuing for it as it's own thing, then it could draw from pools over multiple Bozja instances

There's an approximate timer for Castrum. Best thing to do is not do any critical engagements when the time gets close. I usually join a castrum prep group and we'll do skirmishes/VEs for a while, but once we get to about the 10-15 min mark, we stop with the CEs.

It's still leagues better than BA queuing was.

They probably don't want to have it be a DF thing because the people would stop doing Bozja altogether and would just sit in queue.

Bozja is not an instant noodles where players can consume fast and ignored like Sea Fishing

[Infindox]

Actually I'll agree with you here. I think they should have added another notice about like maybe a few minutes before it pops, something like "The resistance is getting ready to storm the Castrum" or something, so you know to be prepared when it happens, maybe gather Lost Actions you want.

An announcement saying the assault is almost ready to launch(5min warning) would be nice....so many castrum runs end right away due to other people being in other CE

Probably the quickest, simplest fix would be to increase the registration timer to 10 minutes. It would both allow people to finish their critical engagements, and also give more time to recruit additional rank 10+ players as they enter Bozja.

This. It's not hard to keep track of Castrum, so just stop a few minutes before and get ready for it if you want to come along.

It doesn't even need to be registration, it could just be an alert that pops 10 and 5 minutes before to warn you.

0930: Notice: The Resistance Forces are preparing to storm Castrum Lacus Litore. The assault will begin in 5 minutes.
0931: Billy enters the Bozjan Southern Front. He doesn't get the alert because he arrived after it went out.
0932: Critical Engagement pops, Billy joins.
0935: Critical Engagement combat begins.
0935: Castrum Lacus Litore pops.
0935: Billy: AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!1!!----

It’s a skill check before queuing、 I kind of like it.
