Yeah, laugh all you want... But that honestly feels like an achievement. I'm as tired as I usually am after progression runs through vMoL

TL;DR: it's definitely not easy, insanely cool, very demanding and interesting, thanks a lot, ZoS, very well done!

First of all, I would like to bow to the art team. This place is really beautiful, very well done! And Divayth, oh Divayth, I missed him so much and the voice acting is superb! Thanks a lot for all that beauty!

About the trial itself...

It is not a DPS race. And I cannot express how grateful I am for this. I always loved MoL for the mechanics, for its demand for the high group cooperation. And here... MoL intensifies And this is awesome beyond measure.

It is absolutely not about DPS. There is like... one? One DPS-check? The final boss execute stage?

It is all about group coordination and concentration and really interesting mechanics. And I love it. I truly do.

In fact, you can even be punished for overdpsing. We spent much more time on last boss than we could have exactly because we have been misinformed and tried to overdps, believing it was the only way. Things turned insanely ugly because of it. And well... It was rage-inducing in process. But now, in retrospective, I find it a fabulous experience... and a valuable lesson.

To the casual groups. Even normal mode there is so very not a "story-line mode". I urge you to try, of course I do, but... Be prepared. Even normal is not something you can relaxely do on Friday evening with beer. It truly is about group coordination and concentration and all your teammates must perform their roles well. Tanks must be tanks, healers must be healers and DDs... DDs have to pay attention and live. Mistakes will happen, of course, but... Death is very costly in HoF. Be prepared.

To the console players. I am truly sorry for those of you who enjoy climbing the leaderboards. I truly am.

I myself am not a fun if this particular game, but I do understand and respect those who are and... And do not despare!

More casual types of you will probably already have some sort of guides on release date and, trust me, it's a blessing And those of you who are hardcore players, those who want to test themselves and will go blindly...

You will have your challenge. I assure you. You will.

A little personal remark. Imo, it would be great on many levels, if Divayth Fyr, the Honored Voice of Developers, would give a bit more clues on final boss.

I mean... It really does feel strange. On a second boss, which we did completely blindly, I had the voice volume maxed and it took us just one wipe to figure things out. Exactly thanks to Divayth Fyr. He helps insanely and admirably... On the 4th boss also.

But on the last boss he suddenly goes into "I'll just kinda state the obvious and... You know? That's it". And the final boss... I swear, I was the embodiment of this:





Also yeah... I really would like to hear more from him, just because Divayth Fyr, not gonna lie

All in all... Thank you for HoF, developers. Thank you so very, very much!
