Ny'alotha, The Waking City World First Race

[Revamp Man]

Method still has 8 hours left to get world first. Tick tock...

And I mean they could get world first second place I guess but the worlds first was already claimed method even admits it and if you look at how long some bosses were bugged the time limits already up method lost it’s fine

How many days do they get now before they can no longer claim WF? It's been a lot longer than 16 hours. :P

Calling it now release in late September or early October because there is no way the world first race can be interrupted by BlizzCon

You're not going to see them bring out Shadowlands early just to stop progression overlapping with Blizzcon. If anything, they would delay the expansion until after Blizzcon. I find it hard to believe this expansion is going to be ready by September.

I think the relatively low pull count for Limit is due to their exceptional strenght in Nyalotha (both preparation and skill wise).

You think their skill suddenly increased to the point where they can kill a boss in 100 attempts less (or 400+ attempts less in the case of Uu'nat)? And that somehow Method - who are looking likely to also kill the boss around the 300-pull mark - have increased in skill as well, but not as much? How's that work, exactly? It was a rollercoaster from 350 to 700 to 350 to 250, clearly it's not just "oh skill just kept increasing" - some bosses simply were easier, some harder.

U do know 80% of the wipes on this particular boss took an estimated 8minuts right?

Other bosses most guilds wipe already 200-300 times in 2-3minuts. A wipe counts doesnt say that much

The other fights were also 10+ minute fights, with many many many wipes late into the fight; and N'zoth had plenty of early wipes/aborted attempts, too.

You don't get 100 extra attempts just from that. The Jaina or Azshara fights weren't 300 wipes after 2 minutes and then a miraculous instant kill. Neither was N'zoth 250 attempts of 10 minutes right off the bat.

You're looking at an account which only made posts in this thread, since yesterday, "counting down" time until Method loses the world first. With the timer being at 3.5 hours yesterday and getting back to 8 today. Which, I'm sure, was a total accident.

I have *no possible idea* why anyone would do that. Surely it's not done in order to encourage people to complain about "salty Method fans" even more.

You see the main reason why I believe that the game will be ready is that they have not announced any new amazing sister for example the current expansion had the equivalent of the anima system in the new titanic research

We had the neck system we also had islands and we had warm fronts and currently there is no equivalent for those short of the covenant system which still lacks content
We had the neck system we also had islands and we had war fronts and currently there is no equivalent for that short of the covenant system which still lacks content

The possible link between visions and the new endless tower is probably the biggest new system that we get next to the level we revamp

No new talent row
Leveling will be linear the first time
As far as we currently know there is no new rental power system outside of two abilities per class

This expansion is not really as heavily frontloaded as the last two I believe that there will be no need for more than seven months of testing

[Makabreska]

K Method did it.

[Socialhealer]

just popped on tarren mill for method, guess rank 3 breath of the dying is a huge boost in execute phase.

[Fake News]

Method officially world first nzoth. Congratulations!

[Tyk]

Congrats Method for the second place.

So... What's the final N'zoth pull counts of Method and Limit?

Not sure, I think both were between 2 and 300.

In the end the pull count is irrelevant, method had slower pulls and limit chain pulled much more.

Method did do splits this reset to gear up even further, Limit only did the mythic clear and went blasting on N'zoth immediately.

God bless breath r3

Lets not bite bait this obvious

[Xath]

God bless breath r3

Oh now that's an interesting question how many of Method had revered I know not many of limit would have since most didn't bother with since exalted would be after the race was done.

[WorldFirstRaceJudge]

why would it be interesting?

[gobarj]

God bless breath r3

Is this why their DPS was so much higher compared to yesterday?

I wish for the next race Method streams comms, even if it's on the main channel or as a separate audio stream with no video stream so they can retain viewers. I don't think they will though.

GG to Limit in any case, dealing with bugs, streaming everything openly and absolutely obliterating the tier at a level never seen before.

[Xath]

why would it be interesting?

Because it's a massive damage increase in the execute and could have made a big difference.

[Micronetic]

274 for Limit, 240 for Method

So Method are the real winners here.

[WorldFirstRaceJudge]

Yea it surely made the difference like everything you do in game that advances your char makes a difference. Getting better gear isnt interesting either its just what the game is. I dont understand why it would be interesting

Interesting would what scripe was explaining now about the gingi iceblock tactic on the burn phase.
