Heart of fear world firsts heroics thread!

[steveyboy]

So instead of having 1 million different threads saying which guild downed what boss first I thought I would create a thread to keep all this kind of info.

Try not to start any flame wars and to keep things peaceful 10 mans and 25 mans are different races.

Any US guilds killed anything yet?

Current progress can be seen at:

Currently nobody with a boss down!

25 man progress:

Method currently winning the 25 man race.

10 man progress:

Arctica are currently winning.

Well, as with all good news there is usually some bad to go with it, and this one's pretty bad. Some US guilds are experiencing lockout bugs with the raid, with members being randomly saved to non-existing Raid IDs and being unable to play with the main group. This issue has affected at least Blood Legion that we know of and has been going on a while, and will definitely impact the standings. Exodus also had this issue pop up but were aparently able to solve it since it affected less players and they were saved to fewer IDs than Blood Legion's players (the BL guys have 5 different lockout IDs in their 25 man group).

We're in MSV because we're not risking getting locked.

I heard some top guilds got screwed over this week due to something wonky happening to the raid instances and having half the raid getting locked out...or something like that

[Knaar]

So that lockout bug was reported 2 weeks ago by many guilds... and honestly im not surprised they didnt fix it lol.

[Theiea]

Wow, I had no idea about the lockout bug.

Guess it would explain why there havnt been any recorded kills yet.

It's also a really hard first boss

[Theiea]

Well of course, guess im just used to seeing first bosses die fairly fast.

Didnt mean it was a pushover. :3

[Raxxed]

It's a whore of a boss.
Nuff said

[Kanath]

Is there a lockout bug or not?

[Superlolz]

It's also a really hard first boss

Just reading the new P2 mechanics makes my skin crawl.

[Tehterokkar]

The new mechanic "Echo" adds a lot to the encounter, not only does it make a copy of the boss once you killed it on its platform, but it is now harder(eg. on 25m, it now spawns only 2 Protective orbs instead of the 4 the actual boss did it)

[ripslyme]

looks like this is realy a HEROIC Boss since no Guild managed to kill it until now

'Until now'

Care to elaborate ?

[fangless]

The boss is hard, we'll put it that way.

The discs have no forgiveness, and that's something to deal with before the other heroic mechanics even take place. Echo is rough, especially when you have to split the raid to have enough dps/heals on both.

It's a cute fight.

World first boss kills today: 0

Will be fun to see Garalon... I expect World First(25) will have more than 5 Rogues

Why is that? (Im actually curious)

[Choice]

Blade flurry is modified off the legs. Generally not uncommon to see rogues pushing 230k if the fight is structured around them.

[Grimord]

Why is that? (Im actually curious)

If you check the WoL rankings you'll get a scent of it :P.

I suppose it's because Combat Rogues can just hog his legs with Blade Flurry up and do massive DPS by cleaving the leg + the boss itself the entire fight.
