Just finished the Raid with +Kookykobold and had a great time. The pace of the raid was pretty quick and I did get separated from the group a few times but it was fun. I loved the look and feel of the new content. It give new live to the game. Thank you for the opportunity to test it.

I ran this evening with Kookie as well. It was a blast. It was fun figuring out the tricks to handling some of the more twitch puzzles, and the bulk of the mirror/laser puzzles.

As kookie commented, it seemed the mobs weren't as challenging as they could be. It may be because we were on EN, but I think the beholder could be a lot stronger.

Also I think there needs to be shadowstalkers in that raid. Or maybe a nightcrawler ot three.

I felt we moved through pretty well. It took 85 minutes to complete, and considering it was a lot of peoples first time, that was a good pace. I am sure it will be shroud speed or a bit slower after people get through it once or twice. I think there is some randomness involved in the puzzles, which will help keep things fresh for a while.

don't change the raid name. It Came from the Depths is an awesome name, and more interesting than Temple of the Deathwyrm.

I know, is a silly suggestion, but.. i love the name

Puzzles, lots of them. 85 mins to complete it even with some people knowing a bit about the puzzles. Even the fights had a puzzle portion. And a "mario bros" skill part, which i liked a lot.
This one is very well designed, the only thing i would do is to add is some more fights with rednameds and an extra shrine or two (was there just one shrine in the whole raid?). And making them stronger, as i was one shooting trash mobs with energy burst and nameds with a ruin crit, but it was on epic normal, and the length of the quest was already making it a challenge.
The end fight was similar to spinner of shadows with lots of things to do, this part was making it a BYOH raid and very hard for the casual pugger, as we had to split to do everything. What caught my attention here is the named mobs called "Battlebones!!", as they had lots of HP, couldnt be kiteable (they run fast and apply a movement speed rebuff) and seemed to always respawn, so we will need a "tankish" melee to take care of them instead of kiting monchers.
Was fun, very worth it.
