Delubrum Reginae future-proofing

[Feronar]

I noticed that over the past few months, future-proofing measures have been added to Save the Queen content (I.e. the Echo, and not having to remain on the buttons in CLL) to ensure players can still progress and earn their artifacts after Endwalker launches. However, I have not seen any such measures in Delubrum Reginae.

I am concerned that after Endwalker launches, it will be far more difficult to progress past that particular stage of artifact weapon progression, as Delubrum Reginae will be practically dead without 24 people wanting to run it at a time, especially given that the only other source of Timeworn Artifacts is Palace of the Dead, and AFAIK that source has not been buffed so it's still stupidly grindy. Furthermore, if a new player decides to do Save the Queen, DR will be a hard stop to progress (Meaning no access to Zadnor, the Dalriada, or Blade's weapons).

Will any future-proof measures be made for Delubrum Reginae, such as allowing undersized groups with the Echo?

Hopefully, otherwise that step could become very bad.

Delibrium reginae would be much easier to access if it was accessible via duty roullete, but the existance of bozja action/skill make it complicated, other alternatives is perhaps They should make an 8 or 16 version of it, just like the 48 savage have the 24 version

Then you're diverting resources for remaking content that is meant to be done 24-man, which in turn uses up more resources than say trying to make a 4-man dungeon. If anything, I think the fears about DR not being able to cleared are misplaced; if you need something done, don't forget to reach out to the community via /shout and the like. If you need DR done just to get by in story, then sure. If it's for relic weapon, then hope you can get people who are willing to stick around for 5 fast runs of DR. I know asking around does a lot since I've found people who've helped me get some of my relic weapons done in the past.

To be frank, I'm hoping that the duty can be commenced with less than 24 players with echo scaling added into the mix to compensate the missing players. Just like how CLL and Dalriada operates. Keep the DF-esque que because that's a nice thing to have.

This is coming from somebody who cleared all their relics prior to nerf... I still do the weeklies and come back from time to time cause I like the contents. Yet the process to get into one is a bit 'meh'.

[Arzalis]

There is always a final pass to make the relic weapons and their associated content soloable in the following x.1 patch. I doubt they've forgotten about Delubrum Reginae or any of the other group Bozja content.

I've taken two characters to Hydatos during Shadowbringers and the zones are still fairly well populated. People are doing BA regularly and I'm sure they'll take care of Bozja as well and not let it die. I'm wondering if we'll see any nerfs announced in the 6.0 patch notes or if those will come later.

[Dewslam]

It's going to be like Eureka - which is to say they might take a few stabs at touching it up but I wouldn't expect anything big. There will probably be a huge drop in interest in doing DR once EW drops and by the end of EW people will probably start doing it again just to get resources for cosmetic items they want like the armor and weapons.

Personally I'm hoping they just increase the drop rate of the memories from other sources.

I hope they make it scale like Dalriada. Undersized Dal is usually more fun and faster than a full group.

Yes this could be good although I hope that will only apply to normal and not savage. They didn't nerf BA to my knowledge and I hope that will also be the case for savage.
