Limit's GM on Progress Streaming

Recommended Posts

LFyjLIB.jpg
 

Limit's Guild Master @maximumwow talked about the guild's potential streaming of the race in the future and went into a pretty in-depth explanation of the potential consequences for the race and how it could impact them specifically, bringing it all back to the Method/Serenity split. It's a very interesting and honest clip that brings into question whether the guild will actually stream (as it was previously generally stated that they would) and absolutely worth a watch.

He also went on to clarify a tricky/easily misunderstood thing he said in the above clip:

While we now have a lot of the top guilds streaming their progress, Limit's inclusion would be a big one as they're fairly certain to remain on the top of the US/OC part of the race, and since there's a whole day/16 hours in which no one else has access to the raid it's definitely be a popular addition, but as mentioned above could impact the race.

Limit should have started streaming two tiers ago. Better late to the party than never I guess.

I think this whole "race" is totally pointless until not start the raid in the exact same time in all regions. Without it you can't even call as real race. Not to mention to will be more difficult and more exciting on separated tournament realm with fixed ilvl and etc. That would be a real race. This is now only about who have more backup support.

As in invensting millions of gold on realms where the tokens are half price or less into switching to alliance for extra hc loot? ='D
I have to agree completely, game is fixed from the start on so many levels. Not much of a "race". But you can still be regional first, realm first etc.

You know I love how all the players put this on Blizzard. "Oh release it at the same time, bleh bleh bleh" without even considering the momentary cost of something like that. Maybe the community event should go for a community solution... EU starts 16 hours later? How about the US/EU guilds agree on a start time... Nahh never happen, people are too busy grasping for any advantage and want Nanny to ensure fair play.

*implements raid on/off switch mechanics* (since they never ever used those before) *flips switch at a given time* - insane monetary costs!
I mean it still does not solve the fact that somewhere out there someone will be starting the race at noon and someone will be starting the race at 4 am, while someone get's a sweetspot in their raid time, but since those "racing" people basically vacation for raids anyway, it would still be better than "oh, they cleared HC already? Nice, we have to wait couple more hours to gain access to compete".

You don't even have to start the race at the same time. Just include the 16 hour difference in the leader board, and rank by least amount of time to clear. In rally sports, you don't have everyone go at the same time either, and it's still a race.

It's like Max said, it wouldn't have mattered if Limit killed Jaina on Tuesday before Method, because Method killed her in their first week.

Imho if fans would be interested in who kills the last boss the fastest, the competition would be called speedrun, not world first race. It was proved time and time again, that after one guild releases their tactics (which is now streamed live anyways) others can replicate it with great success and score a kill with even less wipes. This would only benefit guilds who may be good copycats, but not necasarily the best theorycrafters. The current raid release schedule is certainly not ideal, but it has benefits: everyone can start clearing in a reasonable local time and given any bug still exists at release (nightmare of every developer), there's a huge redundancy for Blizzard to fix it. E.g. if a a game-breaking bug is discovered when the US realms start, the rest of the world can receive the patched version ahead of their start.

You would still have to adopt and perfectly execute that strategy within 16 hours. 

But it like you said, whether you go staggered or a simultaneous release, both have their pro's and con's. And if Limit are willing to start raiding at 2 in the morning (Blizz are most likely to go with EU reset time just like they did with the BfA release), then who am I to tell them otherwise.

 

Not that it matters because EU will win anyway :^)

I mean, evidently the time difference hasn't mattered. The only kill people care about is the final boss, which has been won by a guild starting a day late repeatedly now. And it's definitely not "they have more backup support" when they generally put in the time and effort themselves. I know a lot of people don't want to accept it, but the pre-race prep (split runs and in this case hopping around to get gear and supplies) IS actually part of the mythic race.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
