Shadowlands -- Castle Nathria World First [Megathread]

[gobarj]

all of this is blizzard fault, they should participate more in the mythic raid race
they should add a real timer from raid opening until the kill on their raid boardm that would remove any mistake done to know the real kill time

anyway, in the second raid the race will be better since the 2 guild will be more on the same level of farming stuff, in this one limit had better luck for the stuff they had for their character

If that was the case then you'd always be at a disadvantage starting first.

[Jayma]

Any gear level disadvantage was entirely due to Echo's Paladins.
Max mentioned Echo was a little slow in noticing the power of Holy paladins.

Looking at the Ilvl that's clearly true.

Difference in kill times was only 7 seconds. With Limit being slightly faster. Trill really performed this tier and was a clear advantage for Limit.

[Barolt]

Echo didn't try hard enough for second place? Who would have expected that?

Except that Echo literally said on stream, constantly, that they were pushing hard for a kill in the 16 hour window. So this "they didn't try after Limit's kill" is bullshit, according to Echo.

[Xath]

Not everyone has a great connexion. Luckily Blizzard will realised that the race brought the attention of more than 200k viewers, and both players and fans (that are not delusional) want global release.

So yeah Limit won the race, but is it really a race ?

Everyone wants a global release but it isn't going to happen because blizz doesn't want to deal with the headache. Yes it is a race and pretty much everyone outside the fanboys admits it's first is first.

[otaXephon]

Well, Echo could have cleared it faster if they really wanted (within 4 hours after Limit). But 16h disadvantage didnt motivate them enough. So it
s technically a tie.

Hard to tell if you're just trolling though. On the off chance you aren't I guess.

And why would blizzard screw with everyone's reset time to appease 2 guilds (3 if you count China maybe) and their fans?

They'd still complain anyway "but this other guild got to start at 10 am and we had to start at 5 pm, we didn't get as much time before we started getting tired and making mistakes!"

[Scrod]

I also like the people talking about Scripe being salty or Max being a drama queen, and I watch their channels and see totally reasonable people competing and discussing it.

You're right and they're human so eh. They are good rivals.

[Scrod]

Examples from Scripe recently:

"We have longer talks, they have quicker pulls. We need to get more efficient with our time".

Instead of:

"We had 4 fewer pulls! We should win!"

Story of the sadness for some players. Fragi, back in the world first race in Echo after his years in Paragon, leveled ELEVEN characters and got them all decently geared before the race started.

He was only used on 6 out of 10 bosses and not on Denathrius.

It would still be less an issue than a 16h delay

[Declaron]

Quick guide.

If US wins:

EU: Not fair US had a 16 hour advantage!
US: But its always been like that

If EU wins:

US: Not fair US had to deal with loads of bugs!
EU: But its always been like that

See you in 9.1 folks.

[Barolt]

It would still be less an issue than a 16h delay

If everything "would be less an issue then a 16h delay", why doesn't Echo just raid one tier on NA servers to prove that? If they dominate while doing that, that makes the case better than anything else.

Hes talking about the race now, nice to watch.

[Onikaroshi]

The 16h delay is a non-issue for 99% of wow players. Why possibly screw up your regular players over something that's a problem for 2-3 guilds.

[Healzerbot]

Congratulations Echo on World first.

[vandris]

Okay, now 1st and 2nd place is known, the real question is who will be 3rd?

[Heyimyoshyy]

Watching roger trying to shave his hair is funny af and better than the race.

[Farora]

Watching roger trying to shave his hair is funny af and better than the race.

Why is he doing it? Because they lost?

[Healzerbot]

Why is he doing it? Because they lost?

Because they got world first. They beat 16 hour adventage.

Fragnance is not fraggoji from paragon. Fragnance is Swedish and fraggoji is Finnish.
