Jaina Heroic World First Kill Video

Recommended Posts

dCrjwUA.jpg
 

Wildcard Gaming finished up the Battle of Dazar'alor, downing Jaina Proudmoore World First on Heroic and crossed the finish line on 9/9 bosses down! It's a Horde first kill, which usually isn't that relevant, but since this raid has a particular faction-themed bent it's slightly more so. The speed of the kill was expected, as pretty much all Heroic endbosses die on the first day. The real race starts next week and we'll have plenty of content to enjoy, between Method and Exorsus streams, our own daily race recaps and the live progress coverage over at Method's raid race site as well.

And here's the video of the kill:

Expected a cinematic ?.

I think I read from wowhead's twitter last night that Daz has two cinematics, so that's more than the usual one; it's just that we have no ending cinematic. 

Speaking as an Alliance main player though, I think it would be rather indulgent to have another clip of Jaina Gandalfing her way through everything and everyone and detract from the recent emphasis on Tyrande and Malfurion.

At least she doesn't die. MERELY A SETBACK.

Kael'thas would like to have a word with you.

Why does it always have to be a race? And they wonder why people complain about available content. Its because nowadays people clear it all the day it comes out, and want more. No company can keep up with that. I wouldn't expect them to.

You could make it harder, and more difficult to clear in one day, but people would complain about it being too hard - asking for nerfs. Developers just can't win imo.

That is people for you. Never happy, always complaining.

Also, the race is merely for bragging rights, which no one else really cares.

It's called Mythic. Also, people have been racing for world first since Vanilla WoW so this really is not anything new...

I dont think he is wrong.

As you say, it can be a race, but it would be great if this take longer, like months as it was on vanilla, bc, wotlk, not days like this is now.

Think his opinion is valid: if its too hard, people complain, if this is easy, it ends on the same day. Imo, dont think a harder content would be that bad.

Im not sure that's possible. People didn't teiad as much as top guilds do now back then. Basically the only way to tune a boss to live for more than like 2-3 weeks is to make it impossible or to gate it behind a VERY specific DPS check that requires the exact item level from the exact specs (and Blizzard can't tune that well, they can barely tune this level of difficulty).

The people racing that clear it in one day aren't usually the ones complaining about no content. Most the people that complain "no content" also don't touch the hardest parts of a raid. Especially because this is just heroic and not mythic, but I doubt people still worry about heroic that hard.

Method isn't sitting there right after they beat a mythic raid and being all "Oh man, there sure is no content in this game!"

As I said before... there is Mythic. And Starym took the words out of my mouth on the issue of making raids longer.

 

Also, Takamura7 made a statement as if people are complaining that they have nothing left to do after finishing the raid. His comment is more out of place since guilds race for world first all the time, so of course they will go through it. But I must remind you, it was completed on heroic. I do agree that there are people out there that actually go through content too fast and complain on the forums, but it's their fault (and sometimes the devs). Besides why does it matter if someone blows through all of the available content. Not that it affects you, me, or anyone else.

There is a big difference between the guilds that are clearing the raids within weeks of their release and the typical guilds. The ones clearing it that fast are the top 1% of guilds that raid 40+ hours a week and push themselves to the limit. For the majority of guilds it still takes at least a month or two after the major guilds finish before they can clear mythic. About half the player base will never even complete it on mythic while it is still relevant and only see the end because of raid finder.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
