Can we remove the death penalty for Bozja now?

It would be nice for the older exploration zones to be nerfed again, whether it's changing the scaling again, or reducing the xp lost in eureka and bozja for dying. Something to either make things better for new players having to go through it in underpopulated zones, or at least make it a shorter grind.

In my perfect "me as the designer" world, one of the benefits / traits / rewards for getting max level in a particular zone would be the removal of EXP on death penalty for that specific zone.

It also encourages going to lower zones to help people out after you've completed them.

It's not a fun or rewarding mechanic by any means and there's a reason modern MMO's have moved on from it. Players don't like to lose progress.

At the same time, once you are at max level, losing mettle feels empty.
I just do not wait for revive anymore if I die alone or forced to re do the fight in a raid, getting back is enough now.

The first area though has pitiful mettle reward which is not really ideal if you are grinding for the buffs

Which is so cruel since Bozja has all the relic drops. I wanna multitask! D=

Sucks a little to have to make a choice between grinding mettle in Zadnor or being lazy and picking up some relic items in Bozja.. plus pretty sure the only notes I had remaining last I checked were Bozja ones.

After I hit zadnor I completely stopped going into Bozja Southern. If you die in there, you have the level 25 death penalty despite the stuff in there having a max reward of lvl 15.

EXP loss serves no purpose. It's not "exciting" or dangerous and as others have mentioned you make it back in a few Skirmishes. It's just a tedious slap on the wrist that exists for the sake of existing. Old MMO's phased it out for a reason.

[Themarvin]

Well don't stand in stuff it adds to the penalty list.

People like you are the exact reason people buy gil.

You want everything to be handed to you on a plate.

The other thing that really needs to be tweaked is that it needs to be made more efficient to acquire memory gems from Bozjan skirmishes than Heavensward FATEs. (And not by reducing the drop rate on the FATEs!) Also add them to Castrum and even Dalriada, to tempt more people into those.

And maybe boost the speed at which new players unlock the third zone and can participate in content there.

Could ask Red Comet for some since he use to body so many people.

The truth is nothing is likely to change ever. They did a lot of adjustments when it was current and have since moved on. Something like the xp penalty probably won't go away because it's not remotely game breaking.
