    Bozjan Duels lottery system is horrid...

    I don't post too often, but this system is ridiculous...

    The duels are pretty much the only content that really excited me to play the Bozjan Southern Front. In the last few weeks I have registered for almost 40 duels and been accepted to exactly 0. Meanwhile I have to watch most folks who get in last 30 seconds and despawn the boss.

    Please make this at least slightly more accessible to players who would like to challenge the content!

    Bozja in general has very bag rng mechanics. For example if you have bad rng, you're going to have to do castrum over 100 times for the full upgraded set. Either that or buy it from players for a ridic price.

    They seriously need to either allow additional players to queue into the duel as long as time remains and/or raise a pity counter every time you fail to enter a duel that automatically prioritizes you over anyone with a lower number.

    The duels are stressful enough when you aren't having to worry about potentially having to wait days before you get another attempt.

    Days? How is your luck so high? I've been trying for weeks to get passed registration...

    I was really hoping that maintenance would've changed something regarding the duels, but it just added a paltry coin reward to skirmishes and CEs.

    I guess it might've been a little too optimistic to think they'd do a total revamp of how the duel queues work in just a hotfix patch, though I'd still love if something was done before 5.4.

    The RNG is a real pain, but I've seen multiple streamers who have aimed to do the Duels get in fairly frequently and reliably. It just takes some clever 'gaming' of the system, trying or new or dying instances, turning up for the CE's with the fewest participants so you increase your chances.

    Not to say it shouldn't be improved with a 'reserves' system or something.
