I just ran this pack on heroic r1 with my artificer.

Overall I liked it. No overly complicated mechanics, not crazy hp bloated monsters. Some sincerly beautiful quests, especially the farmland with the waterfall was very pretty - and dropped my framerate to a halt. I liked hidden chests, I liked the story. The loot suffered from items not being part of a set which was such a terrible precedent to set. No loot is ever going to be worth it if it's not part of a set now, especially at end game. I do sincerly like the bastard sword. It's not vorpal, has no special critical modifier or threat but there might be something there with all those augment slots. Also, pretty. **** pretty!

I can't commend on the speed of the quests because I was flowersniffing but they looked alright. Two of them really felt like 'exploration' quests, one felt like split and kill and the trial felt REAAAALLY long but I'm guessing I was just doing it wrong, surely there's a faster way to do it.

Yes, the quests are very diverse.
One of the reminded me of The Legends of Vox Machina where they walk into a town full of undead.

I suspect that most will try to skip the dance part in the bring em to court quest or whatever it is called.

Tonight I will have a walk around again while still totally overlevel.

After running the first few quests last night, I will likely never run this chain again. Perhaps if we can skip the court quest but it appears to be a locked chain like sharn (vs like VoN 1-4).

I will NEVER run that idiotic waste of my time ever again.

I'm sure some folks might think it's funny but having to stand around for 20 minutes while one person does the conversations and then the Dance Dance Revolution. No thank you.

Just going to point out for Order in the Court, you don't have to do the dance choice. The 2nd option is quickest and you just talk to the court, the 3rd option is fighting and you fight 9 waves of mobs. Only have to complete 1 of the 3 to finish the quest so.

Excellent info here!

Sure. Until someone who "wants the extra chest" advances the thing and you have to do another round of Judge Judy.

Color me unimpressed.
