Ny'alotha Race Day 10: Analysis, Interviews, Nerdscreams and More

Recommended Posts

8ehhLYu.jpg
 

We have a bit of a late edition of the daily summary today, as I basically collapsed a few hours after Complexity Limit's World First and just woke up, so apologies there. Obviously Day 10 was the biggest so far in the race, with Limit finally getting to the end of Ny'alotha and grabbing that well deserved World First, after 8 years of EU domination, following in Blood Legion's footsteps. We'll be taking a look at how they got here, some post-race interviews, the full kill pull, a whole lot of nerdscreams and much more.

Before we start on all of that though, a fun little fact: N'Zoth actually died on a higher percentage than the 2.18% pull an hour or so earlier, as that one saw the spell queuing system make Limit fail, as the boss wouldn't die before finishing some casts (which has happened before, specifically on Jaina). And another fun fact: Limit didn't actually get the achievement for the kill! It simply didn't pop up and still hasn't, which is why sites like Raider.io didn't register the kill at all until they manually edited it in quite a bit later, and they still don't have the full roster and stats for the kill.

One last thing before we start, here's the official congratulations tweet from Blizzard as well:


How Limit Finally Got Here

We've talked a little about the 21st man and the outside-of-raid raid leading that Max did and its impact on the race, but there were a few other big changes to Limit this time around. First off, their partnership with Complexity definitely impacted their performance at least a little, knowing they were fully supported and getting some really great facilities to play in (like that awesome classroom they kept using for strategizing). But perhaps the bigger impact was their partnership with Deadly Boss Mods, as they worked together on their own timers and got support from the maker of the mod to get things exactly as they liked them. One of the big advantages for Method in previous races was Nnoggie, who made their WeakAuras and handled all their timings etc, so this DBM partnership might just have brought Limit on par with them in this department.

Would Limit have gotten the World First without these things? Almost certainly. They have been playing truly amazingly throughout this raid, didn't let the large series of bugs they encountered get them down, and kept a cheerful atmosphere the whole time (I'm sure constantly being in the lead helped with that).


The Full Kill

We'll definitely be seeing a multi-PoV video of the World First soon, but for now, let's take a look at the entire 13 minute pull from start to finish:


Post-race Short Interviews

First off we have a short one with max and Lightee immediately after the kill:

Then there's a bunch of interviews with the raiders from later on in the show, with a LOT of info on the entire race:

 

Max's Words of Wisdom

As you'd expect, Complexity Limit GM and raid leader Max got most of the streaming attention, even around 10 times as much as the official stream event itself, getting over 100,000 views when the boss died. He talked about a lot of things on his twitter afterwards, and you should definitely check all of it out, but here are some highlights:


The Nerdscreams

And let's end on an incredibly positive and joyous note! We've already heard the main nerdscreams from the video which featured Boomkin and and failed Mythic Gul'dan soloer Sanghelios, but let's take a look at some other perspectives as well (and thanks to Wowhead's Neryssa for clipping some of these). Obviously, EXTREME loud noise warning:

 

 

The World First has been taken and for some people that's the only thing that matters, but we do still have 10 guilds racing for a spot at the very top, with Method being the top candidate for the 2nd place, with Pieces possibly being a challenge, but since they don't stream we don't really know how far along they are. Method are raiding right now and have a 32% best try, so it's going to take them quite a while to get the kill, almost certainly longer than the 16 hour US head-start, so luckily we won't have to hear about a "legit" World First and similar stuff. Alpha are now in their second reset and will be pushing hard as well, and the rest of the gang progressing on the Old God are: Aversion (EU), YiTianHong (Asia), FatSharkYes (EU), Skyline (Asia), Exorsus (EU), Chao Jie (Asia), Big Dumb Guild (US).

You can join Limit in their post-show today with plenty more interviews and celebration on the Complexity stream, or follow Method's N'Zoth tries on their stream as well, and we'll definitely be continuing our coverage of the race until a few more guilds down the tentacled one.

More like people thinking rsham is viable. I think they took down Nzoth despite having the shaman not because. Which gives them even more cred in my opinion.

Edit: i mean the class obviously not the player.

      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.
