    Any chance of adding Castrum Lacus Litore to the Duty Finder?

    Or even just, I dunno, to something you can just opt into immediately and cross instance the same way that Delubrum Reginae is available? I spent hours trying to find an open space for it, and for the last 3 attempts I've only gotten undersized groups that can't actually beat the final boss, meaning, sure, I get bozjan coins, which is great for upgrading my equipment across my classes... but my mettle keeps freaking tanking from this.

    I mean, it's just absurdly unfair to have this thing, which we -have- to do, proc randomly, able to start without a full compliment of people, and then not have folks join.

    Like, I dread people having to go through this stuff when it's not fresh content... it is -not- at all balanced for small party content and it's apparently going to be mandatory for MSQ progression? All without the great leveler that is the dungeon finder involved?

    It would have been ideal for it to have used the Duty Finder the same as DR. The Duty Finder is a proven system that works.

    Unfortunately, it was not designed that way and I don't think they are likely to go back and redesign it for the Duty Finder.

    I appreciate they are trying new things, but every attempt to not use the Duty Finder just causes problems.

    The biggest obstacle to doing anything like that with Lacus Latore is that it's functionally an extended Critical Engagement directly inside the Bozjan Southern Front instance. In order to put it in the Duty Finder or make it queueable in the same fashion as Delubrum Reginae, they'd possibly need to rebuild it as its own instance first.

    I'd argue they should've done it like that to begin with, and still should. I'd also argue that they should cut it down to 24-Man and remove either the top or bottom half of the first boss to accommodate the downsizing. But it's probably not going to happen.

    It almost certainly will not be moved to the duty finder or made more frequent.

    It's designed to be time wasting content and SE doesn't care if people still do it a year from now.

    realistically move it to the duty finder and put the current time between castrums as the cooldown after completion.
