[8.2] Eternal Palace - World First Thread

[Nite92]

I mean, I don't know why he expected it to be a 3-day tier in the first place, that's the weird part. Heroic isn't any gauge of mythic difficulty these days and I don't think we've had a tier last less than at least 4-5 days since Xavius.

You clearly have not watched the entire video, or were just not listening carefully.

The chance was the chance because of the extreme power of benthic and crafted gear this tier. You basically could get 4 benthic pieces (better than mythic ilvl loot), and 3 crafted items (440 with socket). With all the farmed up titan residuum, at azashara many people have 2/3 mythic ilvl azerite pieces as well.

He said he hoped that blizzard anticipates the amount of effort wf guilds put in, so that the race isn't too short. Because the last time more powerful loot than hc gear was easily available the raid lasted a day.

Now for the big decision, to extend or not extend

[Voidwielder]

Why's that?

Making Shamans die and then get back up is literally the most straight-forward example of clever use of in-game mechanics.

Throw shit at Blizzard for not seeing that from a mile and the moronic Poly oversight on Za'qul. I'm amazed that these things get past their internal testing team.

Edit: Although considering their QA department was castrated earlier this year, maybe I shouldn't be.

[Xath]

Yeah he should have used an example from this tier of Method exploiting the Court charge bug instead of waiting for it to be fixed.

This is actually a perfect example because limit also had a bug on stormwall that the adds just bugged out and didn't move and they choose not to kill until it was fixed.

Not a decision unless they are consistently wiping sub 5% and even then they will likely not extend.

That wasn't the exploit. The exploit was circumventing the intended cooldown of Ankh by abusing mechanics in the End Time dungeon, allowing them to gain an unfair time and tactical advantage over their competitors.

limit have made the wrong decision 2 tiers in a row before this one so lets see what they do this time

[Sixy]

Are Method not attempting Azshara today?

[KaPe]

Are Method not attempting Azshara today?

No. They totally gave up and lost the race - this has nothing to do with concept of timezones and finishing the previous raid (and hc warfront) at 2 am.

[Eggroll]

Method continuing in roughly half an hour apparently.

Edit: they should really stop consuming all this unhealthy stuff on screen. What a bad example for the kids watching.

Ugh, gaming 13+ hours a day is a good, healthy example?

Method probably have some of the more healthier players in this whole race.

[Wangming]

Do we really know that there is no secret phase or anything similar? Blizzard has been very on point about hiding things from datamining.

Secret phase? Probably. I mean we are talking about the most powerful mortal mage ever. She needs some crazy shit.

Do you really believe Method was the only one doing this? Exorsus shaman was streaming doing the exact same thing...

[Ogait]

Are they giving more time to Nogga to sleep?

Does anyone know what kind of WA did Nogga coded all night long?

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

Im amazed how little exercise they do during progress, 10-15 minutes is more than enough. Even more so with some of the players working out, they should know it improves your learning

So do you look like Gingi or what

[Gorsameth]

Scripe seemed to be pretty adamant yesterday that the boss wouldn't die in this reset.

Why would he not be?
Limit has 1 day of raiding left before reset. That isn't close to enough time to finish the kill unless the next phase(s) is a complete pushover.
At this point I expect a kill around Thu/Fri, maybe Saterday.

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

No? How is that relevant? Exercising being good for learning have been know for ages

[NtflxnChill]

No there isn't one, the abilities of EVERY "secret" phase has always been datamined, there isn't one.

[Dranged]

EU not even in the top 50 after 8 hours, NA #1 bby

Only 1 US guild in the top 10 now. What's your comment?
