Race doesnt officially begin until we get the Chinese doing 20 hour streams running head first into a wall tbh.
21 december world first
Except for an insane hidden phase on Argus, the race will be over the 11th or 12th of december.
#myGuess
Im gonna guess for a second week friday finish.
Anyone thinking Aggramar might survive a reset?
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
It's been a while since the penultimate boss of an instance has survived a reset. Avatar got killed on tuesday a day before the EU reset (by Method), Mannoroth got killed on tuesday a day before the EU reset (by Method again)...
Can't actually remember the last time a penultimate boss survived the reset (maybe Spine?).
Unless I'm mistaken, the last boss to survive the first reset on 20/25 man was Twin Consorts back in Throne of Thunder. The fight was really highly tuned week 1, and then it got nerfed with the reset and Blood Legion came in and killed it basically instantly week 2. If I recall correctly quite a few of the guild who was stuck on the boss complained at the time, saying that the boss would have been very much doable with the new reset worth of loot.
Penultimate boss might survive until next lockout due to disinterest. If Method or whomever jump out to a sizable lead, I could easily see them curtailing activities.
You're not allowed to discuss conspiracy theories on mmo-champion, which makes me wonder what they're trying to hide.
When's the race starting? A couple hours from now?
