Recommended Posts

The Mythic+ scene is getting more close-knit as Raider.IO has acquired Keystone.Guru! This partnership will bring new and helpful tools for the M+ community, and has in fact already done so. The Auto Route Creator allows players to, well, auto-create a route from dungeons that they've finished. These routes can then be shared or kept private and improved upon. You can read more about the feature here, but it's still in Closed Beta and available only to Raider.IO Patrons.

 

Meanwhile, here's the full press release on the acquisition itself:

RAIDER.IO ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF KEYSTONE.GURU TO ENHANCE WORLD OF WARCRAFT’S MYTHIC+ DUNGEON EXPERIENCE

Integrating data, features, and services for the World of Warcraft community

 

TEXAS, July 21, 2023 – Raider.IO is pleased to announce the acquisition of Keystone.Guru, a website and Mythic+ dungeon route creation platform. The acquisition was finalized on the morning of Friday, July 21st, 2023. 

Raider.IO was founded in 2017, and has quickly become the premiere platform for PVE players of World of Warcraft, one of the longest-running and most successful MMORPG games in the world. The Raider.IO suite of products and services includes a website, an in-game addon, and a desktop client, through which hundreds of millions of hours of Mythic+ dungeons and raids are tracked.

Raider.IO has become an integral part of the Race to World First, the largest and most popular live-streamed event in World of Warcraft, and provides high-quality global coverage of the competition, as well as data services and logistics to productions and teams.

A proud member of the World of Warcraft community, Raider.IO is heavily involved in hosting and supporting multiple community-led events and tournaments, and creating original content. Raider.IO also proudly works hand-in-hand with the Blizzard Esports team on all MDI and TGP competitions. A true community hub, Raider.IO has become a household name for World of Warcraft players.


Keystone.Guru offers the ability to create, share and discover new routes for World of Warcraft dungeons and raids. Work together with your Mythic+ team and build routes together using live synchronization. Full MDT import/export integration makes getting started easy and risk-free.

Created from a need to coordinate Mythic+ strategy and routing better between friends, and to give back to the community which has given us so much, Keystone.Guru has grown from a simple web page to a fully-fledged platform with many community-requested features and tools to make your Mythic+ runs a success. The website's code and development is fully open-sourced on Github, so you can easily follow along with current development and give your own feedback to make the site even better.

The acquisition is intended to bring Keystone.Guru under the umbrella of Raider.IO, providing a way to collaborate on features much more closely. This will allow for continued creation of new tools and services for players of World of Warcraft under both the Keystone.Guru and Raider.IO banners. 

To coincide with the acquisition, both Raider.IO and Keystone.Guru are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new feature, the Auto Route Creator! This is an exciting new feature that allows users to automatically generate a detailed Keystone.Guru route directly on the Raider.IO website from any completed Mythic+ dungeon live-tracked via the Raider.IO Desktop Client. Gone are the days of meticulously inputting every pull - now you can automatically generate a route from a dungeon you, or anybody else, has completed! Take routes directly from the top of the leaderboards, find ones with your exact group composition, and so much more. 

With Keystone.Guru becoming a part of the Raider.IO suite of products and services, you can expect even more exciting features like the Auto Route Creator in the future!

 

From Raider.IO Founder and CEO, Jah:

I've long admired the innovative work that Wotuu has done on Keystone.Guru. It aligns perfectly with Raider.IO's core mission of enhancing the World of Warcraft experience with practical tools and valuable data. This acquisition marks a significant stride in our journey and opens up exciting opportunities. We're eager to work more closely with Wotuu to build upon Keystone.Guru's potential and look forward to unveiling several upcoming features to the community soon!
 

From Keystone.Guru Developer, Wotuu: 

I've worked with Jah and the Raider.IO team for a long time now for the Weekly Route and Play Like the Pros series. Our collaboration has been a great source of feedback to continuously improve Keystone.Guru. Our shared drive to make our respective websites better makes us great partners. When approached by Jah to join the Raider.IO family, I immediately knew this was a great next step and opportunity to amplify both Raider.IO and Keystone.Guru to levels not possible before. Keystone.Guru has grown from a simple hobby project to a cornerstone of the World of Warcraft community and the joining of forces with Raider.IO solidifies this. There are many exciting projects coming up together with Raider.IO for which I'm so excited, and I can't wait to share them with the community.

      Here we are taking a look at the very first week of Season 4. Mythic+ didn't have quite the same level of upheaval as raids, but it did get a new dungeon rotation and some class changes, so let's dive into the results.
      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
      Augmentation and Fire continue their ever-struggle at the top, with the Evoker coming out on top, just barely. The top 3 basically remained unchanged from last season, with Shadow sticking to bronze, but we do see a change immediately after that, with Destruction rising 4 spots. Outlaw remains stable as well, only droping  one spot, but we have a big change beneath it, as Frost Mage busts 10 spots up to claim 6th. Subtlety is climbing its way back from the very low 19th it sat in during Season 3, claiming the most-improved award with its 12 spot leap! Elemental gained 5 spots in 8th, while Arms is one of only two specs that remained stable in the top 10, followed by Demonology losing 3 spots in 10th. The two A's of Affliction and Assassination still find themselves down in the bottom 3, this time joined by a different Hunter, as Survival takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Fire holds on to it's throne in the generalist bracket, holding both Augmentation and Shadow at bay. Subtlety sits even higher here, moving 11 spots up into 5th, just behind its fellow Rogue, which remains stable in 4th. The Warlocks join the Rogues in pairing up, with Destruction moving a huge 14 spaces up into 6th! Frost Mage is also much improved, and we find two Fyr'alath wielders at the end of the top 10.

      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.
      Destruction makes its way to the very top in the raw DPS charts, gaining 6 spots and eclipsing its fellow Warlock. Shadow makes a small one spot move up, while Beast Mastery makes a huge one, 10 spots up in 4th, followed by an equally impressive Elemental with 7 up. We find the former No.1 down in 6th, followed by a rising Windwalker and Marksmanship, with the Hunter gaining 11 spots. Frost Mage "only" gains 8, just ahead of Arms, which closes out the top 10. We have three A's at the bottom here, but that's just due to Augmentation's logging errors, so it's actually Frost DK that joins the bottom 3.

      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks are quite stable as usual, but we do see Blood take 2nd away from Paladin, and that's pretty much it. Vengeance pulls even further away, as it continues to dominate.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers actually got some class tuning with the new season, and we see a new No.1 as a result, with Druid coming out on top. Paladin and Preservation are also much-improved, both moving 2 spots up, which is a very big move with only 7 specs present. Shaman finds its way to the bottom, joined by Holy Priest, as both find themselves on the losing side of that 2-spot jump.

      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      Another Trading Post rotation has come, as May brings a lot of flower-themed items, two mounts, two pets, a butterfly back customization, and a lot more. MrGM dives into everything in the Trading Post, including the returning items that were skipped in the official preview.
      The Amber Skitterfly is a little bugged in the game at the moment, as it throws up a Lua error when selecting it (with players even reporting not receiving the mount when buying it), but there's plenty more to get, from the Royal Swarmer mount, to a pretty cool cape, and plenty of returning cosmetics as well.
      And if you missed it and prefer images instead, you can also check out the official preview here.

      Grimtusk Fishing Hole, one of the requirements to unlock Taivan, is available this week on live servers!
      Players who are working on unlocking Good Boy's Leash probably know the Grimtusk Fishing Hole has not been available since the first week of Patch 10.2.6. However, it is available now for the whole week, so you can complete it to get credit towards Taking From Nature.

      Head to the Fyrakk Assault area in Azure Span (59 34) and complete the Net Worth quest offered by Gruff Fisher.
      If you can't see the quest chances are you don't have access to Ice Fishing.
      I'm not really an avid fisher myself, but one player suggests you should have the Secret Fishing Spots  first before completing this quest, but those farming Taivan will possibly know.
      Ice Fishing (available at Renown 6 with Iskaara Tuskarr) requires you to craft an Iskaaran Ice Axe. To do that, you must loot Pickaxe Blade at 19 24 in Azure Span. If you're using TomTom here are the exact coords where you'll find the item:
      /way #2024 19 24
      Check the Wowhead comments section for more details.

      Players on live servers are experiencing issues upgrading their legendary weapons to item level 502 after using the scale. Blizzard has acknowledged the bug and is actively working on a fix, though it may take some time to implement.
      (Source)
      Just used my Scale to upgrade Fyr’alath for season 4 and I can’t upgrade it past 4/14 Awakened. The upgrade NPC believes it isn’t eligible.
      We’re working on this as a priority issue. The fix is going to take some time to implement, however.
      Thank you for your patience.

      Blizzard have clarified that the recent concern over addon limitations in Patch 10.2.7 is merely a bug and is being worked on. 
      RP Addons (Source)
      it’s looking like in 10.2.7 PTR the addon comms (something primarily used for addons like the insanely popular addon TRP3 used by Roleplayers) is going to be severely rate-limited server-side, making them effectively unusable. This is going to disproportionately affect the RP community and Blizzard should have communicated this much earlier in the development cycle.
      The author of TRP3 has stated they have been looking for a solution but as of right now, there won’t be one come patch day which will kill the addon and many other addons as well. Blizzard, please roll back these changes! 
      We’ve identified the bug causing this issue on the PTR, and we’re actively investigating solutions to address it in a future build.
