There should be other ways to obtain the Field notes.

I hope you are right, but you will have to forgive me if I take what you're saying with a huge grain of salt. Do I personally think that they will? Yeah, but I have no idea when that will be. In my opinion, it would better serve them to do it sooner rather than later to keep players engaged instead of giving up for now like I and many others have. Players bowing out of some of the only content there is to do until November isn't a good thing, especially for SE.

people have made the same argument you just made with EX totems too. If you are feeling burn out, STOP. The content is not going to go anywhere. Once they increase drop rate you need not worry about "will I be able to get it"? You will be able to get it.

Just because it has been said before doesn't mean it's wrong. lol Either way yeah, I have stopped.

"wrong" is just an opinion. Not one the devs share because it's a carrot to dangle. How much you invest into wanting said carrot, well that's up to you. whether it's "right" or "wrong" is moot.

So in order to get the Al-Iklil mount (Fran's hoverbike), we have to get all Field Notes from all Bozjia areas.

I've been farming these Field Notes for days now. There's only 3 left for the Southern Front area: Field Notes on Dabog, Field Notes on Dyunbu, Field Notes on Lyon. The drop rates are abysmal. It feels like atma all over again. Some of those field notes like Lyon only drops from Castrum, which people don't really do anymore, or his 1 on 1 Critical Engagement.

There should be other ways to obtain the Field Notes. Maybe we can buy it with a 99 Bozjia coin or something.

I agree, i have a ton of those normal bozjan coins and they just take up space. lol

Going to re-emphasize my point I made a few pages ago: It's okay to have grindy time consuming content, it's just that for some of these field notes they definitely feel more like rolling a roulette wheel over an actual grind. The ones I'm talking about are the infamous Menius II, Lyon I and II, Saurvetour, and Dabog I and II.

People are spending a lot of time in Bazja and it should be plausible to pick these up with the time commitment. However, not all time commitments and activities are the same for each person and some of these activities are time gated behind prep work or a timer. I'd say Saurvetour (I'm never going to spell that right) is the worst of the bunch since Dabog I and II can be had from fairly easy fates. The fix for Dyunbu was appreciated for sure as I didn't even know the field log didn't drop from the first two fates he appeared in.

G'day again,
So I'm at 69 runs of dalriada now and received my 4th field note on lyon part II, no menenius note or raptor mount, only lyon. Something is definitely wrong with the droprates/RNG for fields notes in the dalriada raid if that is my 4th lyon note to drop and nothing else. The extra lyon notes i received could've been given to people who are actually trying to farm them.

If you wanted to keep the bozja resistance content alive devs then you are failing both yourself and your fans/playerbase. This is literally eureka all over again but with a fresh coat of paint. You the devs said that you'd learned from your previous mistakes with eureka when you made bozja, but we can all see that was a lie.

How hard is it to fix this issue devs, just apply the same fix you used on getting into duels to getting field notes, or items in general. All you'd have to do is implement something that keeps track of how many times a player has run certain content, the higher the total of clears a player has then the higher the droprate/RNG increases for items they haven't received. Then once a player finally receives the item they've been grinding/farming for, the percentage on the droprate/RNG of said item returns to normal and rinse and repeat. I believe this would lessen yhe strain of farming but anyway I'm sure someone will try to tell me I'm wrong and i that i have no idea what I'mtalking about.

But in all seriousness devs you need to take a look at your loot/reward system, because no-one, not a single soul has the desire, drive or patience to mindlessly farm content they got sick of after the 20th run, just to get kicked in the guts by "lady luck".

RNG gonna RNG.

you know, you could say the same thing about any type of probability contest, video game or real life. haven't you ever bought a lottery ticket and then cursed the twelve that you didn't win everytime? same thing.

be glad at least you had the strength (after ONLY 6 WEEKS since 5.55/Zadnor came out) to say "no more!"

So first of all, you do realise that with the lotto (lottery in Aussie slang) the chance of winning is very low, depending on how much money yo want to wast on tickets. I don't usually buy a lotto ticket and when i do i generally win back what i spent, i don't curse the twelve for something i know i probably won't win in my lifetime.

Secondly, when did i say "no more" that i quit playing the bozja content? I'm still in there trying to spit in RNG's face becuase I'm too stunnorn for my own good to give in. My posts are just me putting in my 2 cents about how unfair this content is to players who put in the effort.

I've seen you replying to other people's posts on this thread, i don't think you understand where those players are coming from, they are the one's who have said no more and left the content as to not lose their love for the game, voiced their opinions so the devs can see how badly they screwed up.

I implore you to re-read my post in its entirety, instead of picking the last portion of my post and targeting that for your narrowly viewed response. Thats just my opinion though so do with that as you will.

Well, also the duels really don't feel like they work as intended due to requiring specific actions to survive with no forewarning. That's been one of my big pet peves with MMO RPGs in general that for some reason every single "extreme or savage" style piece of content has to lean on the unknown to actually be challenging. If someone is standing in the middle of a field and a suddenly they hear the noise of an airplane, followed by getting smacked by said airplane about a half second later, that doesn't qualify as a "forewarning".

Duels are not meant to be push a button to clear.

Let's look at the first and easiest duel, Gabe.
Caution has been a mechanic in the game since ARR.
The open circle sniper mechanic had been in the game since Stormblood.
Soak in the tower, been in the game since ARR.

Naturally when you see an all-closed circle that means every spot is weak, and Bozja they give you actions that can replicate any job role. Manawall is practically a tank immunity, even Dark Knight has to use it in the duel. That's all that is needed to clear, aside from decent dps.

Update: 65 runs now. Neither note has dropped. Saw the Dino mount on run 57. Duels down to 5% each. Bleh.
