    Mythic Gul'dan Video

    It's been almost 10 days now since Mythic Gul'dan was killed and no video from anyone. At the time of this posting there are 4 guilds that have cleared him. Usually in the past, as soon as a 2nd guild cleared the final boss, the first guild would post a video. Why is it taking so long to post a video?

    The rule is 5 guilds, not 2.

    because videos actually take effort to put out.

    Slootbag, the tank for Serenity, said on stream the other day that world first kill videos get released only after 5 guilds have killed that boss.

    It's an agreed upon rule among most of the top guilds.

    Exorsus put out their world first Xavius within 2 days of their kill.

    Also Xavius lul... Cenarius was the true last boss in EN.

    Because at least 5 guilds killed mythic Xavius within those 2 days.

    No one cares about Xavius, 5 guilds killed it when it got uploaded anyway. If you haven't heard about "the rule" then clearly you don't care enough about the World First race therefore no point in even talking about any of this. It won't be uploaded until the 5th kill happens.

    I was actually replying to when he said videos take effort, not the difficulty of the content.

    If there are lower end guilds (~top 15) who are on and start streaming their progress, some guilds may release their kill videos.

    Also it is up to the individual guild who gets the world first. If a Chinese guild, for example, got World First Mythic Gul'dan, they probably wouldn't honor the 5 guild rule.


    In the end, it isn't a hard rule, but generally, it is honored by the typical top guilds. Exorsus will likely not release their video until another guild kills Gul'dan or another 1-2 weeks go by without another kill.

    Most of the top guilds have agreed that it is good form to wait until 5 kills before publishing the WF kill. Exorsus is not one of those guilds that always hold to the "rule" however. Although they have already tweeted that they are trying to get it done by the 5 guild mark

    Looking through WoW progress and the video publication dates, the ONLY boss that actually follows a 5 guild rule is Mythic Blackhand.

    I guess it wouldn't be considered a rule but more of an agreement amongst top end guilds to wait a while or to have at least 5 guilds kill it.

    usually it's the later of 5 guilds killing the boss and as it stands there are 4 guilds who've gotten Gul'dan down so far, also Exorsus did say they would take their time with the editing and I'm also guessing they're trying to get as many PoV's as possible for it as well.

    I would rather take Exorsus wants to take their time editing and putting out a really cool video as the reason its taking so long instead of some stupid rule everyone keeps using as an excuse that literally has only been followed once going back to 25 man heroic Ragnaros.
