New ROT Box DARKSPEAR REVIEW

[Zahovoon]

Tested Darksinga new ROT box Darkspear or some shit.

Bunch of custom shit nexus, titles, pvp points, aa's. OK whatever keep going.

Bit grindy, takes a few hours to get to level 8 on a rogue/druid. Logic would mean OK I need to start with a mage and a healer, then twink a melee, then level a etc etc.

So basically a grind box maybe a bit less than normal 20% less grindy than ur average ROT Box.

Playing against people who live for the grind and that kind of easy mode PVP advantage. That's their model basically, the Kringe style only engage in a winning situation. I don't think there will be much in it other than that or mass PVP.

Overall I'll just say I don't have it in me and pass, but good luck? It could be fun maybe? I think it requires too much squeeze and the juice is maybe worth it maybe not. I'll stick with POE2/Dota/chiv2 GOOD LUCK.

I may come back and play some easymode farm class anonymous like a mage/necro or w/e and just single box and see how it plays out.

Gave it a second fair shot on a mage, really just too grindy no matter what. I'd probably say the EXP is like 1.5, Red is 2x, it's probably slower than red lol.

By the time I farm to 50, get my titles, aa's, all that shit figured out, some MR gear and weapons, maybe a box to port myself or some PVE toons, you're looking a couple hundred hours of basically empty zone drool cup grinding.

I really wanted to play this box too lol, but I can't do that much boring shit just to try to dunk some nerds I've shit on 100x before.

[Zahovoon]

If it was like 30 hours per toon I would literally do it, maybe like 24 hours to get to 50 solo.

All of these drug boxes get worse in every iteration.

RoZ 1.0 was fun (in classic). Then the GMs started tinkering with the box WAY too much, and every box thereafter has made the same mistakes. Too much custom crap, constant tinkering, etc.

Who wants to play on a drug box with the same 20-30 players? Lol.

I heard the EXP is quicker if you farm yellows and reds I may try again. I played with Secrets on a VZTZ box once in CB for like 10 mins and he said that, and I was like uhh p99/peq is not like that he was pushing us to do overcon shit. Would make sense if they're using TAKP shit and it works like that.

The content seems to be completely new age out of the box content also.
