Ever since i completed episode 1 i always boost in when starting a new team. I was wondering the pros and cons of going one way or another outside of the time you save. Thnx for the great games and keep up the good work.

Benefit: Not spending 40+ hours playing content you've already been through.
Cons: Losing a ton of potential XP. Missing out on every loot drop and upgrade past the Temple, thus ending up with inferior gear to start E2. Waaaaay less gold than a game played from the beginning. Potion and Scroll stock is nonexistent, compared to a game started from the beginning.

I believe that your score is not recorded on the ironman leaderboards as well so if that is a goal then you will need to start from the beginning.

So in a nutshell, boosting is for the short story or reader digest abridged version, and non-boost is for the novel. You have a lot more to read but there are so many more rewards as a result  I can't bring myself to boost in on any of the games because I crave every single XP point, gold coin, and item that I can find by doing the 100% explore. But then, I'm abnormal. Don't listen to me <grin> |

To boost or not to boost that is the question Whether tis nobler to start from the beginning with fire and courage in you heart and trudge through or say curses upon thee foul minions of darkness I have the power of the IAP that goes to 11 and will crush your asses to dust or, to put it another way, as slayernz says "There is no episode one! It doesn't exist!" |

anrdaemon -  Glad you like the game. I love a good Boost-in myself, but when I really want to enjoy a group build, I have to start from the beginning.

If they can't handle the ratkin from 9-12 then what's the point?
