Statistics: Firelands Changes Impact, Pumpkin Carving Contest, Fan Art

Firelands Changes Impact
Blizzard made major changes to Firelands a few times during Patch 4.2 (July 26th and Sept. 20th) to allow more players to see the Firelands content. We take a look at just how many more players were able to down Heroic Ragnaros and clear Normal Firelands. Data was looked at for over 2.7 million level 85 characters, most of them being in the US.

Class balance for characters with the Heroic Ragnaros achievement was also graphed. The Heroic Firelands Boss Kill Ease graph displays the percentage of characters that have killed each boss, provided they have killed at least one of the Heroic Firelands bosses.

    Good to see that more people got to clear/kill more heroic bosses before the changes.

    Just shows that Rag heroic needs more nerfs, probably when 4.3 is released, not that many people will bother to go back just to kill him though. Barely anyone will bother with Firelands since LFR will be released, and will only work with Dragonsoul :S Also Shaman least represented class for Rag Heroic lol

    Rag doesn't need more nerfs, people need to be less terrible at the game.

    So yea the majority of players don't actually care about raiding. What a surprise.

    normal clears was beginning to flatten out but then the nerf kicked in... it was already easy before the nerf so it just shows how bad the playerbase are at the game

    Not surprising as they are the only class that can fill all 4 slots.
    And they don´t suck now so people like to play them more.

    We'll all have superior gear, so in effect it will be 'nerfed' purely by having a new tier.

    Mind you, some people failed in Ulduar even with Icecrown gear. But then that place was extremely well tuned (and by that I mean ball breakingly difficult).

    lol so they should make this stuff harder when barely 1000 people in the world have a kill in a game played by over 10 million people.

    This just proves that Blizz needs to severely nerf Heroic modes. Less then 3000 players are doing this? That is just wrong. Why are they making content for such a low percentage of players? Even normal modes, this is just hilarious.
  1. Gratlim's Avatar
    So let's see hum:

    Normal Fireland: 135k / 2,7m =5%
    Heroic Fireland: 2400/2700000 = 0,08 %

    I like how content post nerf was cleaned by only a 5,08% of the tested population post epic nerf. One word: scary....Hopefully we will be around 10% for normal mode by december.

    It looks like you've more chance to get Rivendale charger mount than killing H.Rag even after nerf. Funny

    It's that they can't do it not they don't care. Bad players outweigh the good.

    Is it any surprise that druid is the highest for Rag? Their knockback is absolutely crucial for the sons.

    My point is yes most players are bad at raiding. Blizz either need to tune the encounters accordingly or teach people how to raid.
