Delubrum Reginae death penalty

[Boldprint]

why did they penalize players so bad for doing Delubrum Reginae? i lost 100k mettle doing that place for the first time and ill never go back for any reason. i have been playing this game since 1.0 and just cant believe the devs did this. its just horrible and now i don't even want to play anymore.

SE seems obsessed with bringing back the days of FFXI, complete with large punishments for failure. It's honestly a step backward if you ask me. No one should be doing a relic and feel like they're losing progress.

That's very true.
And I feel it's compounded by the fact that the Bozjan Lost Actions are consumable so you can use those up while losing progress.

For real, did they swap out their dev team with the XI team wholesale or something? Whoever the devs for this zone are obviously have a hard-on for EQ/FFXI-era games and don't seem to have realized there's a reason those are virtual ghost towns now.

how dare you !!!11oneoneene
can't you see the big picture se has? there's reason why they don't give a fck about the community intakes and stay true to their vision, you and everyone else just can't see that.

someone hit me up when the reson is found, or maybe se stopped smokin crack.

I cleared DR 3 times, lost 100k mettle and i reached 700k again. Is really a problem?

yes there is. because the penalty in bozja is what turns a lot of people off this content.
do you think it's fun for a r10-r12 to run castrum and getting wipped 50k only to regrind it?
since they also nerfed the amount of CM encounters, it only became worse to grind up in bozja without becoming totaly braindead because you just run from one fate to another and hope you get in time there bevor it's gone.

don't get me wrong, i like the idea behind bozja, also the raid could be a way more fun, but certain desgin points are just crap and shows that se doesn't give a shit.

Yes, because it's ultimately a tedious and arbitrary way to increase content longevity. People are spamming CEs not necessarily for their relic progression, rewards or sheer enjoyment but because the game actively forces them to after a pointless punishment. It wouldn't be so bad if Castrum and DR gave Mettle upon completion, however they don't. Which is one of the many reasons no one wants to touch Castrum nowadays. Not only do the rewards suck relative to time invested, you risk losing mettle. It's a poorly thought out system that's desperately trying to hype up nostalgia in a way no one liked. It isn't fun deleveling or losing EXP because the route to regaining it is boring.

Just put Litore and Delubrum in the alliance raid finder next to the Yorha Raids and the problem is solved, putting this content in an extra zone that pops up randomly and will be dead soon is just bad design on the long run.

Wow I'm sorry you lost all that mettle what were you planning to spend it on?
