	Short Version Fuck this pack. Longer Version Seriously. Fuck. This. Pack. In-Depth Review Dude. Seriously. Fuck this fucking piece of shit pack. The only thing worst than that one annoying quest is that other annoying quest. And the fact I can't decide which one is which really is almost impressive. And the only thing worst than the two pointlessly long and no fun quests is that fucking horrid piece of shit raid. Outside of farming a few pieces of decent gear from the tediously long, boring, and absolutely no fun quests there is really zero reason to play any of these shitty quests ever again.

	Quests are fun IMO but they are inordinately long and lacking imagination.

	Hey at least they finish textured all the walls, it's not like the Illusionarium where they phoned in texturing half a the damn dungeon walls... course they DID release that one free so I guess that makes it alright. I still laugh their idea of "Pick your own Adventure" was the option to change the "name" of a mob in the end fight... I mean wtf is that with creativity on the most linear freaking quest in the damn game. But then I suppose I digress. What I hate is how the drop rate of stuff in Black and Blue is for me, since I am trying to farm for some armor for my Druid doing his racials.... 6 toons ransacked and not a single item plus I managed to get a couple of other accounts to join... So annoying.

Then decided to be nice and jump in at the end to help someone farming the orb (and fuck that quest is too long to even just walk through to the end) and pulled a second set, which almost made all the grinding worth wild (not really).

Also this. Only to pull the fucking Hand Axe I was grinding for with a bank mule one run later doing favour runs. Ugh. Seriously they should have broken these up into at least 3 quests for better immersion and story balance. I don't know WHAT could be done about the raid... It's beyond awful. Although it's bleak and austere layout does actually fit my mental image of how 40,000 year old, long-lost, forsaken giantish ruins would actually appear... (if they added more tree cover and scrub brush).

Web, while it was a slog back in the day, is rather straightforward and easy by current standards, unless someone is griefing the portalkeepers. The nonsensical failure conditions were the only reason "defile her" was annoying. Bigjunk wrote on Jan 2^nd, 2018 at 9:23am: Is the loot at least decent? No. It was only marginally better than what came before it and is almost all already obsolete with ravenloft's loot out. Also, it came out at the same time as Racial Reincarnation, so people decided to do that instead of running it just to run it,...especially since RSO came out the next update after reaper mode came out, when everyone was converging agreement on the heroic game to be the optimal path for grinding reaper xp.

This. I don't understand the Devs logic... other than laziness. If they had made the raid Heroic, people would have run the shit out of it. It's relatively open design with sparse mob spawns would have been a good school-room for newer players or people with crappy gear if it had been in a Heroic setting. Especially since a lot of the raid loot is designed to "dove-tail" with the loot from the 2 quests, which aren't even required for flagging, which is retarded. Then maybe people would have tried to grind out some of those matching items for their Heroic counterpoints from the 2 "flagging" quests.� As it stands, the best items in the 2 quests are the Heroic armours, which are still arguably better than Ravenloft gear, and maybe the Hand-axe and some of the accessories. For Epic, I was with the masses... Not worth the grief. Too long, too boring, too much preparation required to succeed for lousy drop rates on gear you can easily live without.

With the Chronoscope, the Devs made a raid that was good at both Heroic and Epic difficulties so it can be done. I'd really like to see the Devs go back to that idea.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	Unfortunately it appears that the caster gloves are going to be required for optimal gear setups on quite a few builds.

Maybe the could raidify back Irestone Inlet ( so it's back to what it should have been : a LVL 5/6 Raid ) while creating it at Epic ( LVL 22/23 ) and Legendary ( 31 ). It could be fun to have 3 different stories ( or 3 times the same one... with a twist as arry would say ) in the same open area.

No new non-legendary raids ever since MoD and DoJ were run to death with teams of players and duped bypasses. The Butthurt of the Devs continues to fuck the sad players who toed the line like good boy scouts.
