4.0.6 Release Date, 4.0.6 Notes Update, Nefarian 2nd Kill, Blue Posts, Artwork

Yeah, what people have said. No exploits occurred during Sinestra and Nefarian kills. Sinestra was killed like it was created at that time by Blizzard and top guilds always figure out the most efficient way to down bosses fast so druid stacking was the best. It was by no means an exploit. Also, Paragon was the only guild who downed Al'Akir 25man pre-nerf, after which so many kills occurred.

If they want us to stay in the old town's like SW and org then why is the ink vendor only in dalran? Why does SW and org only have portals what about UC or IF? Same with the cooking and fishing daily. Seem more of a, we want you to only go to SW or Org...unless your a scriber then have run running back to dalaran to get inks.

Main thing I dislike is that method is upset about there being too much content "forcing" them to have a very long period of lots of raiding.

PS: Didnt ICC have nearly the same number of bosses with no gating?

Method is mad that they got no world first kills during this tier. Atramedes was exploited (out of the room) and Magmaw adds were kited to Defense System room and back.

ICC was gated. In the first couple of weeks (four weeks iirc due to xmas etc) there were only the first four bosses til Saurfang, then the seperate wings where openend one after another, first putricide-wing, then bloodqueen and at the end sindy and lk.

Go back and see Paragons statement after gettting World 2nd Cho'Gall heroic. I am not saying Method are acting like little babies, just saying that Paragon are just as much crybabies.

Went back, saw the statement. Here is the part of it that references FTH:

It was time to put our gameface on - after a few short (and relaxing) farm raids and a day off, For the Horde managed to snag the first kill on Cho'gall. Congrats to them, but damn does that suck! Just as you think you can afford some slack. With that in mind, there was some really serious catching up to do, as we had only dabbled a bit with some potential tactics for the fight. The pressure was definitely on and you could feel it in the raid.

Anyone else than me having significant difficulty finding any crying or complaining in that statement? I mean, really, come on. A congratulation and a straight-up admittal of disdain over failure to get there first. :|

The massive amount of tears coming from the so called "top raiding guilds" lately once again shows that the glory days of WoW raiding ended a couple of years ago.

aaah the nostalgia... i dont think anything will ever be as good as TBC...

i <3 tbc 4evah

dont hate me for the nostalgia, i know its mainly that but still, let me dream *flies away on top of my first flying mount*

oh it's just a little joke. Top guilds have always been competing and teasing one another, but a lot of you seem to be reading too far into it. Don't confuse teasing with jealousy and petulance. These top guilds do actually have a lot of respect for one another.

gg method on killing nef the way it was intended

[wilcox1232]

anyone think that tol barad is still going to be totally broken after patch Defending forces will receive a 200% capture speed bonus when they control all 3 keeps. like defenders need more speed ever since they nerfed the honor so you dont trade anymore it hasn't changed hands at all on our server, and not for a lack of trying.

[carrierz]

Method... FtH took a few days break during christmas and still managed to catch up and even get the WF on Cho'gall. It's not like you HAD to keep raid during christmas in order to remain competitive, you just had to better, or, find more bugs than other guilds.

Yeah, defenders get a speed buff...when they have all three keeps. All...three...keeps. If the defenders are holding all three keeps, I personally think the attackers are clueless and probably don't deserve to win Tol Barad.

More importantly, holding two keeps buffs the attacker's cap speed. This can make all the difference when the defenders are turtling the last keep and the attackers can manage to at least hold a larger force on site. It also makes pulling out and zerging another keep risky for the defenders, because with a full stack of attackers, plus the cap buff, it won't take long at all for the attacker to cap the last keep if there are no defenders left to hold it.

All in all, this should definitely reduce the incline on the uphill struggle blizz has stated they want the attackers to face.

Also, Paragon was the only guild who downed Al'Akir 25man pre-nerf, after which so many kills occurred.

This is how they killed Al'Akir:
(Cannot post link due to my new member account, so go to Paragon Website and click on Al'Akir video)

And these are the hotfix that Blizzard did on 26Jan:

Throne of the Four Winds
-Al'Akir's Lightning Strike damage has been reduced on 25-player Heroic difficulty. In addition, its effect duration has been reduced to 16 seconds, down from 24 in both modes and difficulties.
-Slipstreams can no longer be used during the Al'Akir encounter.

For people that has 0 familiar with name, Slipstreams are the "tornado" that u use to reach Al'Akir.

So i am glad that blizzard fixed the Slipstreams (we didn't know that we could use it like Paragon did, our mistake), also we did not ask for a nerf on Lightning Strike, we got it (ofc we were a bit happy), and we had to kill it with it, nothing that we could do about it.

Anyway, none is QQ, people that say it must have some reading or comprehension problem.
Big GZ to Paragon that killed bosses before us.
Not a big thanks to Blizzard that 2 times changed the rule of the "contest" and that could test bosses on beta in a more accurate way, not in a rush like they did and with some guild cut down from testing it due to low amount of Beta-test-invite received.

"Personally I would have welcomed a 'reasonable' gate-system or similar to allow for more real life time the past ~2months"

Wow, whine much?

I can't manage the balance between my game commitments and personal life, so I'm going to condemn Blizzard for not doing it for me.

LK-mixed colored gems are cheaper then red/blue/yellow. This has always been the case. One could use that for more "bang for Buck" when converting JPs.
One BC Gem has the same NPC value as a LK gem but costs only 78 JP. So basically you would buy these and sell them for the NPC for max profit during dump of surplus JP.

Now instead of converting 78JP to 5G (uncut) you have to spend 220JP for the same amount of gold. Looks like a nerf to me.

They closing down a gold farm while at the same time opening up others. True you are losing gems but you are gaining some profit in archeology and spending jp on crafting mats. The word nerf gets used far too much these days to describe something we don't like. That took all the meaning out of the word sadly.

Funny to read so many trashing bashing from randoms who will never ever see most of these hardmodes at all.

So Method did the mass boomkin thing too? Didn't blizzard nerf the fight so that roots didn't effect the mobs?

Please read Simca's post on the first page.

And congrats Method.

Read before posting.



Gratz to Method for the first post-fix kill.

Considering no other guild has recorded a kill after they adjusted the MC damage boost portion of the fight (or heck, no kills period without it), means this fight is probably a lot harder than it should be. Cho'gal and Sinestra have been downed multiple times now, but no one can do Nef?
