Shadowlands -- Castle Nathria World First [Megathread]

[Xath]

It's hard to argue that Max isn't a drama queen. Don't get me wrong, I watch his stream all day, I'm starting to like the guy, and his attitude has improved a lot compared to the start of BFA and his constant salty tweets, but he still does things that bother me, the main one being giving tons of excuses and trying to take away the credibility of his opponents down at every step of the race, even before it started.

For exemple, yesterday, despite the fact he used some tricks from Echo to kill the Stone Legion, which is totally okay, he still manages to say and tweet that other guilds will kill the boss fast now that they have a strategy to copy and Limit did the job for them. He always does that then adds the same additional comment: "Oh but I have nothing but respect for those guilds".

His stream is much more enjoyable than Echo's ones but it would be much better if he wasn't spending his time trying to make you believe that the only reason why Echo is not 5/10 is because Limit is giving them the strats and Blizzard is nerfing the bosses.

Once you have a working strategy that you know will give you a kill at that level it's much easier. SLG if you get into third phase clean is super killable whereas something like sludge you have be going 100% the entire time and really can't lose anyone.

Just like Limit. Every top guild is so scummy.

Literally not the same thing no matter how much you try to make it. Killing an undertuned boss while fishing for timers right before bed is not the same thing as flat out not streaming prog of the last boss.

Glad Im not the only one seeing it. He seems very 2 faced. Riling up trolls but at same time saying he hates trolls. Commending Echo, then saying they wouldn’t have killed the 9/10 boss at all without them. He needs to work on his maturity act if he wants it to be believable.

Not streaming progress is not streaming progress. Stop trying to find excuses and exceptions suiting your favorite team.

Is limit resetting or extending ?

[Farora]

Is limit resetting or extending ?

They always clear again for gear. So after that reclear Limit has a big advantage again for a day.

[Clozer]

Sup, Limit deleted all VODs of today's stream and progress. So there goes that.

[Woobels]

I doubt they're extending.

I'd be shocked if someone from Echo wasn't up all night watching/there isn't a way to get those VoDs back lol.

But Max said he would get sued!

[WhatIsLegion]

But Max said he would get sued!

They would get sued if they didn't stream at all, they are contractually obligated to stream. Now they may not be obligated to keep the vods or they talked with Complexity and came to an agreement.

Not like deleting the vods will do much, most of Echo's raiders were lurking in the streams anyway and it's almost a given that someone from Echo would have recorded the streams in case this happened anyway.

Hopefully the rest of Sire is a fun watching experience because it's look like after this tier we are back to checking wowprogress for kills instead of watching them.

[dipzz]

Not streaming progress is not streaming progress. Don't try to make excuses for one guild.

Fan boys will be fan boys

If you can't see the diff in turning your stream off for example during Heroic Deathrbinger and Heroic Lich king, then you're too far gone.

Yes after raiding 16 hours Echo for sure watched Limits stream instead of sleeping because their raid starts in an hour again. That for sure happened. This is also why Limit deleted the vods..................

Man some people in here go to some serious lengths to find excuses for their favorite team.

Limit turned off their streams to hide progression on a boss and get an advantage. Echo doing the same. Don't try to make excuses for one guild. "Fan boys will be fan boys"

[rrayy]

Nah, I'd keep my TV on until it was over.

Great analogy.

Edit: And yes, if I have other arrangements to go to, that's exactly what I do, turn off the TV and look to see who won later in the day.

But the more accurate analogy would be the sports leaguie turns off the game on you with a couple of minutes left. I guarantee if the game was really close, you would be pissed off.

[Ssateneth]

Welp, judging by HC difficulty, Blizz might have dun goofed with raid scaling.

raid scaling is fine. people are trying to clear the hardest difficulty with 1.5 difficulty less of gear than last expansion. get more gear, it will be easier.

[Ultimatt]

What limit did on council is like sealing the last move in Chess. Only they realised the boss was easy and stuck around to kill it. The thing is though that if they helped Echo kill it quicker, in turn Echo would have streamed sludgefist and helped Limit.

Let's hope they both agree to full stream for next race as it hurts them all financially to play these games.

well tools that record stream while you sleep exist (probably) and it seems they have plenty capable coders to write them them selfs if they dont... i know my brother wrote python program to capture stream automatically every time channel went live, when specific show he wanted to watch on twitch wasn't available in vods...

[Roxinius]

umm if the competition isnt going to stream why should they leave vods up especially after getting to the secret phase turnabout is fair play

[facefist]

What alot of people aren't considering is that Limit gets to denathrius first with a new set of gear. If Echo feels that is important in winning the race, then they shouldn't give out possible tactics in stream just so Limit can go in and execute their tactic with +5 ilvl.

I think they should start streaming after both have re-cleared though, because then the playing field is more even again. But if gear is important factor in their tactic then it's just dumb before they both fight the boss with ~equal gear.

[Shurkien]

Pretty obvious you've never actually watched max for any extended period of time

Dude what he said in the past make it hard to argue that hes not a drama queen

For example did he say that Justw8 manipulated their BigWigs files so Method has an advantage
Or that Blizzard nerfs the bosses only for Method so Limit has a harder time to progress on

Those are only 2 examples - hes known for his drama queen bullshittery
I dont get why he does this tbh
Watching hin is fun and hes other wise a nice guy but this.. Man..

[Jayma]

There is a clear difference between turning off your stream at 1 am on boss 7 vs. not streaming the last boss in its entirety.
You can debate what their priorities should be but trying to equate the two is not being honest.

Yeah.. It kinda sucks that Limit did this first combined with their headstart to get even more out of their advantage. Now Echo felt like they had to do it too. Kinda scummy, but what can you do..
