Castrum Lacus Litore is a failure

[RTX3080]

Are you for real? Did they really think this was what casual family-friendly content looks like? A 40-min instance timer that's impossible to beat? A pointless rescue-the-prisoners mini-game as well? Is Square Enix hallucinating?

If I need a Discord to clear this content AT ALL, then it's not casual family-friendly.

Change it!

Your troll attempts are a failure.

Are you for real? Did you really think this was what salt-inducing troll attempt looks like? A 40-min thread lifetime that's impossible to prolong? A pointless topic-of-the-day posting mini-game as well? Are you hallucinating?

If you need SE forums to have troll attempt AT ALL, then it's not salt-inducing.

Change it!

I mean, whenever ya'll reply to trolls, you feed them and give'em exactly what they're seeking. So, looks to me like whatever he's doing is working.

Shit, looks like I did it too

I just wanted to write copypasta, to be honest.

I cleared it in a not-even-full instance without discord. All communication about mechanics and where to go during prisoner phase was done in party chat. Castrum isn't perfect, but difficulty is not one of the issues.

I cleared it twice, my problem is to actually get in.

I think it should be a normal alliance raid instead of a "sometimes you can join if you're lucky" zone event, or no one will do it every again in the near future.

Also i see fewer and fewer people doing Bozja, maybe the content is doomed to die soon, which is sad, it has a lot of cool fights, i am still missing a lot of stuff in there. People leave the "dungeon" when Castrum doesn't open or they miss it, and no one comes in again? Does it not fill up with new players?
I really ran around allone in there after a while and that was around 8pm.

The biggest problem is trying to queue up for it. With such a short window and the fact that you probably need 24 people to have a good shot of clearing it, it makes it really hard to actually get a run going.

If you don't Discord on Disgame, you ain't relative to it (e.g., Hunts) hehehe. I don't so I ain't Then again, I don't Bozja either, completing all the Eurekas was more than I needed in this lifetime so tyvm but NO.

Impossible to beat? I have yet to get an instance that was not beaten. If at all it was too easy.
The only flaw I see is that sometimes a critical event pops up at the same time. So the 50 people that went to the critical event will not be available for castrum. Square could change it to pop when there is no critical event.

Hello everyone,

Let me use this troll subject to ask you a question about Castrum, wich might be stupid but at least i will learn something ^^

I got to do it for the 1st time ( and to beat it ) yesterday ( easy but felt too long ) and my main question is, is it actualy useful ?
I mean, you can get the stuff for the weapons with any fates on the map, and from what i've seen the coins are for purchase gear you can only use in Boja right ?
