I only did the first 3 monsters before I had to go due to an...incident. The first set was balanced I'd think, didn't have much problems personally. The second and third rounds however I found to be too hard.

As a side note you shouldn't name the monsters the same =\, I @mi' royal to see the mobs I had already fought (1 and 2 at the time) and got the list of the remaining ones [minus boss].

[Shinigami l0_0l]

Monster trial was kind of unfun. Granted, I send a SuNo for the job every time, but rounds 3 and 4 (I'm guessing Dark & Holy, I know the oracle was holy lv 3) were very anti-magic. Then Beelzebub killed me in one hit and I was neutered for the remainder of the event. Still got 92 points though, and a lot of loots from the monsters I managed to kill--that was pretty neat.

Item trial... I'm just grateful ToH Tao Gunka doesn't seem to make himself magic-immune anymore, that was aggravating.

My client crashed at least 4 times during the light vs dark battle. What's up with that? Either way I dropped dead almost immediately but kind of planned on it. Then I steel bodied and watched whitesmiths spam cart term with little effect and smacked people with my staff before a champ asura'd me and I died again. Didn't actually kill anyone or even get to fire off a spell since I lost my edge, but very fun nonetheless

It was a hard ToH for me, but considering that I was a level 84 Sniper with bad equipments, that was to be expected. I ended up with 80 points, so maybe it was a tad bit too easy for those who were at higher levels?

The monster trial was very hard for me, but that should be normal:
- I breezed through the first set.
- Got DSed to hell in the second, didn't have enough flee.
- Tried to run through the third when I only did 1k damage per DS, but got cursed then killed even after spamming Aloe Leaflets.
- I should have been able to kill all the monsters on the fourth, but tried Arrow Charge instead of trapping those Royal Oracles, who turned out to be mini-bosses therefore un-knockback-able. GCed to the ground.
- Easy enough. Spam Traps, DS, Strawberries. All good! I was surprised to see a lot of higher leveled Snipers fail though.

So 20 points for a level 84 Sniper. Seems balanced enough in my opinion (although weird that I managed to beat level 1 and 5, and non of those in between).

Item Trial was hard simply because some items just WOULDN'T drop. I'm sure other people had this problem as well, especially since I was killing with 2-3 DSes, which I'm sure not many classes can match. Maybe a tiny "buff" in the drop % of those rarer items? Either way, I got 35 points.

Trivia was alright, I suppose. Some questions were a bit confusing for some people I heard, but I was fine with them.
- Never made a GS, otherwise probably a very easy question.
- Panicked and typed "mage".
- Too easy.
- Fair question. I got it wrong but I'm not a Knight user.
- Angel Helm!
- Got this right, went crazy cuz I reached 70 points and since I'm a Dark hero, I had given up on the mass battle. Thanks for messing up question 5 Pandora =D

In overall, maybe an easy quiz for veteran players, but I guess I've played the game long enough to think it was easy.

Mass PVP was yay, except for the crashes I kept experiencing =(

In conclusion, the monster trial was hard, while the item trial was alright and the trivia was a bit easy.

[Split Ends]

monster trial was so against caster types. 4th round was RAPE to those who arent super geared. 2nd round was a lost cause for those aspiring to run away from them. LONG RANGED DETECTORS that deals 2k damage? oh cmon.

the 5th room's sprite was awesome btw :3

item trial was kinda balanced. the KS policy never worked there so might as well announce that KS is legal in that event. although a higher drop rate from bacso would be much appreciated. i hunted bacso for like 10+minutes and never got the star thingy o.o

pvp was fun, i always enjoy watching zoku eating everything

trivia with (4th question) as the answer's question was kinda confusing. <3 the (5th question) question (first to answer correctly) so much for those who are dependent to mr.hatter

war's result was... unexpected

overall. monster trial was anti-casters, WS and SNIPER food like always(can we have mobs with pneuma or sw next time ?). item trial was law-breaking. pvp was long. trivia was kinda easy(and i want this to stay this way). war was annoying because of FRIENDLY FIRE

on a sidenote. naming the enemies with a same identifier makes them all available in @mi. i already knew all the mobs during the 2nd round o.o(well except for 5th). maybe next ToH it'll be better to make their names kinda random again.

by any chance. can the friendly fire in ToH be disabled?

[Sepharius]

Could you please post the answers to the trivia questions in the post? :D

I'd like to know for the sake of knowing.

[Firenza]

Dear me, just re-read my post up there and realized how it's more of a blog post than a feedback on ToH itself. My bad >.<

[proto]

I thought monster was balanced this time. I saw a lot more 0's

[Speedwagon]

I can not say anything else than Split Ends... and Woah It's exactly the same as I wanted to write!

Well maybe the first round of monster trial was also against casters
(Range 5/10/12).

Anyway. I had fun. Maybe a bit less then expected, but it was fun.

@me working on making a WS for ToH now (._. )
