Naxxramas progression thread

[Xath]

<Onslaught> 1 shotted Patchwerk the wall! Impressive

Patchwerk was never the wall. Loatheb to a low extent was 4 horseman due to taunt reqs and saph due to frost resist were the walls. But back in vanilla we were nowhere near as maximized.

[ryjkur]

APES got 2 wings in 32 minutes, Maexxna and Loatheb. Clear gonna be closer to 80 minutes I think.

e: Progress on KT now just in 76 minutes after release!

That was quick.

"Naxx 40 is the hardest raid in the entire game" btw.

Vanilla was never hard. People just had shit gear and shit computers.

86 minutes I think

I think we're looking at an 85 minute clear time.

Look at that guess!

Said pretty much no one ever... People that claimed Vanilla was hard are long gone after getting proven wrong numerous times already.

And didn't know the encounters and didn't have the required consumables and the resist gear as soon as they entered.

But it was hard.
And now it's not.

Eveyone arguing about classics difficulty can look at it like a math problem or rubiks cube, a cube could take you months to figure out and be extremely difficult, but once its solved, and you know the algorithm, the new challenge is doing it faster.

Classic wow has been solved simple as that.

Yes and no. Vanillas boss mechanics are still piss easy. If MoP classic were to be released, bosses like Lei Shen HC would take some time. Sure not as long as OG kill but it wouldn't be such a walk in the park like classic. There are so many things that can go wrong in more modern raids, not just 1 ability the boss does every 30 sec. Still impressive what progress did. Still baffels me how they can clear AQ40 in around 30-40 min.

[Adramalech]

I appreciate the balls of making a "progression" thread.

After I was absolutely and completely wrong how long it would take ppl to get to lv 60 and clear MC....I am now very cynicak and BWL and AQ 40 proved me right. Naxx is just going to be another faceroll compared to the effort it took in Vanilla.

It honestly isn't even worth this thread.

It's already cleared, dude. Two pages in and it's over.

There must be some kind of mistake, 4 horsemen was supposed to be a major cockblock

It sort of was. APES wiped on 4H. After that i closed the stream in disgust.

The best players and guilds in the world, who practised the fights for years on private servers, who practised this specific build for weeks on the PTR, went in and all wiped multiples times except for a single guild.

If you let people practice the retail fights for a month straight they would oneshot everything with no issues. For me this confirms Naxx is harder than retail.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Wasn't KT like a 15-20 minute fight on his own back in Vanilla?
