    Bozjan Alliance Raids - needs to be in Duty Finder

    I find the larger encounter raids, which includes the Delubrum Reginae + Castrum completely broken in terms of recruitment of players. Not to mention, you may join the instance with everyone all playing 1 single class. It should really go with at least 2 healer, 1 or 2 tank, 4 or 5 dps.

    If people join the encounter, and then leave, there's no way to replace the individual. For these large encounter alliance raids, if they are expected to be completed with so many people, I think they need to be moved into Duty Finder so that potentially when players get dropped/leaves, a replacement can be found.

    It is a joke when you join the large encounters and then people from your party start leaving. It is not fair for those that are trying to complete the rest of the raid with very few people increasing the risk of failing.

    I cannot support this enough.

    I spend 3 hours in bozja today, haven't been able to get a castrum run to complete the quest for about 2months ish now, hoping today I could finally complete it.

    Saw it pop 3 times.

    Once it was already in progress when I joined the instance, so that's a no go.

    Second one we got only 21 people and failed at the first boss .... because bot lacked dps and the drill died when we were at 15% or so, didn't beat timer the second try (because we had like 4 healers in our 8 man top group so overall lacking dps in general).

    Third try we got 16 people ... that's it.

    CLL is just broken content at this point, everyone who already done it doesn't care about the few measily rewards added to it and are doing the next steps to upgrade the relic, the rest of us are just a bunch of people who never done CLL and barely know how it works to begin with, so good luck beating the timers when people are dying left and right.
    Ontop of that there is no way of telling when, or if it will even pop, you can wait 10 min, 30 min, even after a full hour since last run it didn't pop again.

    So I have to waste tons of time running around in bozja for no reason, hope I get to see CLL pop, hope the group is big enough to actually do it and hope it has the proper amount of people on all roles to fill it and hope people will actually stay even for the entire run.
    All for a story quest you must complete to continue the relic and a very pathetic reward at the end, you don't even get mettle to offset the times you died.

    People have been saying for months CLL was broken and they did nothing to adress it, not even a meter or timer at the very least to show when the next time it opens up, even that would be something.

    I don't mind having to do a raid or w/e at all, but the way it's set up just to get into it is just bad game design and the fact they doubled down on it by making it required to continue the relic is just baffling.
    Add it to DF or make it scale with the number of players so low player groups have a chance to actually do it.

    This is really something I hope they address very, very soon. I was lucky enough to have Castrum cleared already. However, It's the first day for this new alliance raid and I already was unable to finish it. After fighting our way to the 3th boss, one full party just left and there is no way you can beat the enrage without 8 additional people.

    It's just frustrating that you probably have to rely on premade parties to clear this content, especially with the amount of people you need.

    Well.. .it is not the first day any more. and.. well it is still awful. I haven't been able to complete it without being around on the most popular of times and then only once. And once in Delubrum I almost had a nervous breakdown when I was the only healer and NO tank! Come on.. .this has to be able to be solved. Not to mention I want to do other things when waiting for dungeons to pop.. now I just have to waste my time hanging around

    I feel like they'd have to rework how the instance works because it isn't a true alliance raid in the sense that you can disband and reform parties within the instance and the alliances aren't technically "alliances" within the instance.

    Essences & Lost Actions exist for a reason. One does not even need to grind for them excessively to have healthy supplies of those. Look it up.

    Now this, I can agree to some extent: REPLACEMENT. CLL can now be done with just 6 players & that includes saving all 6 prisoners thanks to the ridiculous Echo bonus, they help immensely for low sized raids (Again, don’t forget your essences). They could be probably do the same for DRn but due to the nature of the instance’s queue, I kind of doubt they can add this bonus because one will always start with 24/24 players.

    i kinda aggree. the problem is that a lot of player will leave instantly if they join in DR xD

    and tbh i dont really get the role problem. is it so difficult to think outside the box for once? i was so excited at first... i'll be able to tank as a dragoon in there... yeah it never really happened. every time people (mostly dps players not healers) noticed its a dragoon tanking they would start to cry out. they would blame the one two tanks who didnt take the aggro in an rather aggressiv way. even after trying and dieing a few times... as soon as they noticed its the dragoon again they would start again. its ridicolous
