World First Ragnaros and Onyxia Kill on Classic by APES - Gehennas EU
It only took a week to see the first world first kill of Ragnaros and Onyxia on the new classic server, and we owe the crazy performance to on the European Gehennas server!

The original world first kill of Ragnaros was 154 days after the initial release of the raid, years of game knowledge and practice took this down to just 6 days!

    There is no skill involved with these kills. Especially since a bunch of people on the raid team aren't even max level and are wearing greens and blues. The raids just weren't difficult at all and this proves it.

    Because their fun doesn’t match other people’s fun, therefore it is wrong and is t fun and they are deluding themselves by thinking they are having fun while really playing the game wrong and hating every second of it.

    This is not the same mc as the original, and also classes are much stronger in 1.12. Downing rag was never the hard part it was leveling enough people fast.

    Perhaps, but this does serve to highlight the huge differences between the players of the past, and the players of today: access to information. Before Classic WoW even went live, WoWHead and many other WoW fansites and fanblogs were showcasing leveling and gearing guides for Classic. Datamining, YouTube, etc. All contributed for the expedient demise of Ragnaros merely a week after the game went live.

    I don’t get this statement. Most of the people downplaying this and talking shit about it are the Classic fans trying to lessen what they did.

    It was not same mc what it was on vanilla release, it is kinda stupid compare classic to original. These ppl who did raid MC on release says it was hard because of the overtune.

    MC difficulty has never ever been the encounters it has been having 40 people to actually go,there and a raid lead team who isnt dogshit. These guys are ovviously a well oiled team. It wont be so easy for most people because shitguilds are a thing more so in 40 man guilds.

    I mean no one that played back then is that surprised. Most everyone I've seen thought it would either go down the 1st week or the first day after reset. Yes there were a few deluded individuals who thought it would take a month or something but they were mostly the minority.

    Even in the original 1.12 MC was pretty easy. As others have pointed out though this MC was not even remotely the same situation as the original so you can't compare one to the other really.

    By 1.12 it had been nerfed several times, the debuff limit increased, talents had changed to make classes much more powerful. Addons weren't nearly as developed, lots of people were playing on crap PC's and connections

    Knowledge is another big factor as today people know every detail of a fight, where back then people were still trying to figure things out.

    It's a whole different world really.

    Oh but Classic does indeed have holidays. Blizz has said all holidays that were available at the time of Classic's patch number will be activated in Classic. Including:

    Feast of Winter Veil
    Noblegarden
    Children's Week
    Darkmoon Faire
    Harvest Festival
    Hallow's End -
    Lunar Festival -
    Love is in the Air
    Midsummer Fire Festival

    Yeah but those original ones were pretty basic. They've had a whole lot added to them over the years.

    Cheers APES, managed a successful less than 1 week kill.

    Lets see how long until BWL is cleared now. I expect it to be a 1 night clear as well

    By the time BWL comes out they'll have full BiS and oneshot everything like they did in MC.
