Battle of Dazar'alor M Race Day 2: Jaina Lives!

Recommended Posts

Day 2 has come and gone and we have one boss remaining, as Limit cleaned up Stormwall Blockade some hours after they woke up, claiming their 5th World First in the raid. The EU servers were already up at that point, but they hadn't caught up yet and they still haven't, trailing 1 boss behind the US No.1. We also have some Wildcard Gaming kill videos for bosses 3, 5 and 6.


Opulence Mythic World 2nd kill by Wildcard Gaming

The EU guilds started strong today, as Method, Exorsus and Pieces tore through the first 6 bosses in around 6 hours. Method were especially quick, beating even Limit's time by about an hour. Perhaps spurred on by Method's quick catch-up, Limit popped up with their huge 8/9 World First on Stormwall Blockade and moved 2 bosses ahead of everyone else.

After their quick defeat of King Rastakhan, the sixth boss, something changed for Method, as it seems High Tinker Mekkatorque really didn't suit them. They took a really long time to down him, getting overtaken by Pieces for that World 2nd, EU 1st kill, lagging around 2 and a half hours beind them and a whopping 5 hours behind Limit's time on that same boss. Eventually they did get him down and secured the World 3rd, but it was getting pretty late at that point, so they got some progress in on Stormwall Blockade before heading off to sleep. A bunch of EU guilds also ended their day on 6/9 after defeating Rastakhan, with Memento, Exorsus, Aversion and Future claiming the World 6-9th spots, and Vision rounding out the top 10 with their US 4th.

And here's Method's long in the making High Tinker Mekkatorque kill, directly from their stream:

I've also made a table for the kill times for the top 3 guilds on the last 3 killed bosses over on the Method progress site, so I'll share it here as well (measuring the time spent since the first boss kill of the raid and the one previous to the one mentioned):

  Rastakhan-30-01-19-04-46-27-6.png Mekkatorque-30-01-19-01-47-34-5.png Blockade-banner-21-01-19-03-41-12-1-31-0
     From 1st                 From previous From 1st                 From previous From 1st                 From previous
Limit 6H 46Min                 2H 34Min    10H 30Min                3H 44Min      28H 33Min                 18H 03Min    
Pieces 7H 42Min                 2H 14Min     14H                       6H 18Min  /
Method 5H 34Min                 1H 56Min    14H 23Min                8H 49Min     /


And so Limit are still quite a bit ahead, with Pieces and Method chasing, and both guilds have lost a fair bit of time with their slower progress on High Tinker, showing just how well Limit did on that particular fight. Whether Stormwall Blockade was also an amazingly fast kill by Limit or not remains to be seen, as the EU guilds will see how fast they can get it down today (if at all). Jaina still remains alive and we don't know much of anything about her difficulty at the moment, so here's hoping she not only stays alive (or, better to say undefeated, as she doesn't actually die at the end of the encounter) but also isn't bugged or impossible, which would almost nullify Limit's lead if she gets fixed later on.

We'll see what happens tomorrow (and hopefully get some videos for Tinker and possibly Stormwall) and if anyone has a chance at beating, or even catching up with Limit.

      We've all seen the giant Hallowfall crystal and just how great it looks, but as it turns out, the light emanating from it actually changes in a sort of strange day/night cycle, and we get a really awesome transition into Void light animation! 
      First off we can see a snippet of the change in Blizzard's official short preview of the zone:
      And then there's this extended look at the switch, showcasing just how impressive the animations are, by PreachGaming's Chunkeyninja:
      And here's a slightly better look at the Void to Light transition, courtesy of Kexman:
      The exact timing on the cycle isn't 100% clear, but MrGM noted how it works on the Alpha right now, with a 3 hour cycle, as the Void part remains active for 30 minutes:

      Hopefully we'll also get some lore to go with the transition, as the light into void thing is pretty thematically interesting, as well as being really visually impressive.
