Malaysia: Seems like a fun area. I did a bit of questing there, but not much. There are some potential spots to train at, and apparently another place for leechers. Looks like it could've been a good spot to train an Aran in the future. Looking forward to trying the new bosses out later.
Witch Event: Made an awesome belt from hunting bosses, made some really good belts the same way as well, sold them for a ton of mesos. Hunting area bosses can be a bit stressful at times, but I get by pretty well and rarely ever KS anyone. Surprisingly I even made some friends (3) hunting area bosses - it almost seems paridoxical, but hey whatever I'm not complaining xD. The new potions are cheap and mighty, and even helped influence me to start a little pre-dk dude who reached 27 in a pretty short time with the boss etcs I've randomly collected during the patch.
Gold Richie: Belt scrolls would've been great if the belts themselves didn't become useless for anything but HP washing and mages when compared to a decent attack belt (4+). The pendant is a terrific boost in exp (makes 4x into 5.2x if you plan ahead), and the chair event/erasers have gotten me 3 cool new chairs, as well as a nice profit from reselling erasers.
HH2: I'd probably call it disappointing if I got to experience the original storyline and actually set expectations. The storyline was brief and uninvolved, and the boss was pretty well-designed despite being weak and missing some hit frames. The chair is awesome, even if it takes a while to get now that the glitch was fixed.
Balrog: Haven't been there yet. Sounds like it'll be fun to try out. Do we have bain crossbows added to the drop list from him or in our data at all?
Gacha box event: It made scrolling a perfect crossbow an achievable possibility, if still extremely expensive and unlikely. I also managed to get/pass MW30 from the 12 or so boxes I decided to open, so unlike past gacha box events I'm actually very grateful for this one.
Overall: Terrific patch. It created a ton of complainers due to the whole witch belt situation, but it'll pass and be mostly forgotten eventually.
