imho the amount of randomness included in the items trial deserved the amount of time that was given. It being a fairly low attendance also helped imo, but we did have spots of 0 mobs every now and then.
nice to finally not have to kill any bapho for his horns or milk once in a while
i think overall monsters were well thought out except for R3 being that much harder than R4.
oh and mass battle is mass battle. Don't mind dying trying to kill ppl, but wasting EDP due to mass dc on the second round kinda stings...
overall i'd say it's quite enjoyable and really concise. Gotta love it lasting around 3 hours. Ah the good old days of 9 hour ToHs...
