race to world first level 60 IN CLASSIC (NOT VANILLA)

[quite an expert in wow]

this is the thread to talk about who will get the first to level 60 in wow classic

asmongold etc all seem out of the race already

i currently see some path of exile players that show promising results (for example alkaizer)

thoughts?

[ifrah]

Curious, is there any chart following the progress? Would be interesting to see how insane pace people are going.

It's a strange race to be sure. Vanilla is a thing you do with others. There is little solo stuff to do. Most of the stuff that gives most of the XP you have to do with others because it's elite quests, like the ones in the Hinterlands, or dungeon quests which, naturally, cannot be soloed.

It will be somewhat interesting to see who's first to 60. For me, it's more interesting to see which class. When I logged out last night some warrior, and warriors are considered bottom tier levelers, was the highest level on the server. Warriors past lvl 30 start becoming really good. And since the mobgrind can't happen due to the sheer amount of people camping mobs, classes like locks and mages and hunters are actually falling behind, or were, since there aren't enough mobs for them to grind.

It will be interesting. Also, the time will be interesting. I'm excited to see if anyone pulls it of before the weekend.

Does it count if I am still using my original character from vanilla?

you have some good points. i wonder if mages can start to gain faster xp when they reach higher levels (blizzard farming)

i've watched a few streams and saw naohw (MDI / method player) doing a 4x mage 1x priest group, doing dungeons. they dont seem to fall behind far from warriors

i guess in the long run it's mostly a question of who can play around 70 hours with little to no disconnects, and not a lot of sleep. grouping seems mandatory, yes

Pretty sure you can't use your original vanilla character on classic servers.

[starkey]

It will either be some speedrunner or someone from Method.

There are a few in their 20s now. The dungeon grind has begun in earnest.

So sometimes when I do /who I get people on my layer and sometimes I seem to get everyone...how do you tell?

Useless imo. Dont really enjoy the whole journey by stresslvling.

I absolutely understand people like these races and want to try to get a personal achievement of reaching a world first goal.

But some people, including me, has wished and waited for Blizzard to create these servers for 13 years (since the release of TBC I already missed vanilla), and when we finally have it, they rush through it and miss the experience? To me, while I can understand it, it's still madness :P

Maybe they waited 13 years to have a chance to be world first lev60? That opportunity doesn't come around that often you know... compared to just leveling in slow and clam pace!

Maybe, though I doubt many people had regrets from vanilla that they didn't reach level 60 first :P back then, the realm/world first races wasn't nearly as big and important as of today.

World firsts are well over, all you'll get now is Classic firsts.

A lot of the guys speed running haven't been waiting 13 years to play Vanilla again, they have been playing private servers for years and constantly re-playing the game with each big launch. Private servers are a bit like Diablo seasons, people always flock to the newest one and re-do the experience over again as they chase the ultimate vanilla, this is no different really.

Even with that aside, for some people the whole enjoyable experience of gaming in general is through competitive or hardcore goals, like setting yourself a difficult task and giving it everything. I don't think it's madness, it's just a different way of experiencing it, people are the same in all aspects of life.

joanna said on his stream he started almost 2 hours behind and doubted he could close the gap, but was hoping for a top 10 finish. also was aiming to get a new personal best in terms of /timeplayed and he might still be able to compete for that record.
