Sweaty guilds who’ve been practicing for months tried to zug zug their way through the instance and failed. On my server (Earthfury), only one guild has so far STRUGGLED to clear. Most aren’t even through half the bosses.
Friendly reminder that TBC is harder than this. Good luck.
If we get 2.0 then tier 5 is definitely harder (for all the wrong reasons).
Black Temple was always a very easy raid though.
Then Sunwell is back to this.
On my server 3 guilds cleared 5 bosses the first night, most of the rest of us got 4. No one got more. One of the top guilds still hasn’t gone in yet, they are doing it tonight I believe, so we’ll see if they break 5.
Not to diminish, but theres a pretty big jump from 5/6 on. Spider wing, plague to Loatheb and Military to 4H (if you can get Razu) are all pretty easy. Loatheb/Patch/4H are what separate the men from the boys
Nobody on my server has cleared it yet, I think my guild is the closest to doing it and they’re still trying to down Sapph.
Top guild on my server got 14/15 first night. I think 1 guild was 8/15, the rest were 6 or less. We got 4 down.
Update: Just checked my server on WCL, 1 guild cleared, 1 guild 12/15, 1 guild 8/15, 2 guilds 6/15, everyone else is 5 or less
According to Warcraft logs, only 2 guilds on Grobbulus are 15/15 so far, and we are a large server.
2 guilds on Herod full cleared it. Both Alliance.
Well that’s not surprising. The big PVE advantages that Alliance have in vanilla/classic didn’t really become obvious until Naxx release.
The only guild to full clear Naxx first day on Earthfury was an Alliance guild too.
It’s amazing how every single one of these troll threads about how easy raids are, or how hard raids are NEVER talk about…fun. What the Hell happened to this playerbase? Is it all just an epeen race? When did the sheer joy of just playing, grouping up, taking on a raid lose all meaning and significance? When did the experience become obsolete?
All you hear is bragging. Bragging how idiots said Classic would be hard, but isn’t. Bragging that raids aren’t getting stomped like some said it would. It’s so petty. It’s just a freaking video game.
Metagaming sucked the fun out of Classic a long time ago.
BC does not get harder than this until M’uru.
Pserver sweaties progress for weeks when new raids are released. If you think you have nothing to worry about til M’uru as a normie, you’re in for a rude awakening.
i’m a 6/6 SWP before 3.0. I know more about BC than you woke kids do.
We 8/15 first night with a bunch of chad dads, half of whom had never set foot in any version of naxx.
One shot everything in Abom wing, killed Noth, wiped to Heigan twice, then wiped to Loatheb twice before moving on (a couple people had to call it a night). Then we one-shot Anub’rekhan and Faerlina with 35-36 peeps.
We’ll come back Monday and see if we can get to Sapph. Loatheb is certainly not a face roll.
That’s pretty good considering of 6801 guilds in Naxxramas only 1844 of them are 8/15 or better. And sub 10% killed 8 bosses in one night.
Just gotta do it like Progress and chug Flask of titans and flask of wisdoms like normal consumes on sapph… EZ…
Tryhard so stronk lul
Meh, its still too early to really tell. Most guilds raid on Tuesday / Wednesday … Nax was released on a Thursday. So aside from the guilds competing for world first … most of whats up on the board is either World First attempts … or what Guilds could cobble together for offnight raids.
Give it a week or two for most guilds to really throw in … also, w/ out pallys inf source of mana … horde are struggling hard w/ Saph atm. Prob going to have to get crafted FR before most of them get to make serious attempts.
Wasn’t quite the faceroll I thought it’d be/remembered it as, but wasn’t anything beyond expectations.
Breezed through spider wing, Plague wing we took a few wipes teaching people the safety dance, and loatheb (as expected) actually felt like a challenge, with us being one of the only 3 horde guilds on whitemane (as of Friday, hopefully more got it done on saturday) to clear it. It was certainly an ugly kill, though.
We tried to push for Patch, but I think people where a little drained from Loatheb and we where past our raid window and trying to continue shorthanded, so the attempt there wasn’t so hot…
Regardless I think construct wing is largely going to fall over when we come back in fresh/wbuffed again (maybe a token wipe or two on Thaddius getting people used to the mechanic), and I don’t see much issue with Military wing before 4h (though I expect that fight is gonna take up much of the remaining raid week)… I’m pretty excited for it, personally, 4h, Saph, and KT are the only 3 I didn’t get in og Vanilla.
I’ve spent the last 15 months having fun or I wouldn’t be playing it.
People on these forums love to be so negative.
I agree that Naxx is not as faceroll as people thought it would be especially for horde guilds.
