Basically all of our preparation was done from watching VoDs, and looking at old Warcraft Logs entries, and from memory of when we played softcore back in original Classic.įor each boss we have a dedicated Discord channel to discuss/research strategies, then eventually that becomes a raid plan with assignments etc in a Google Drive spreadsheet. ![]() The other issue was a potential Razorgore bug that could cause instant wipes randomly, and the guild did have to go outside of hardcore to address that one, making a WeakAura to warn them if it was about to happen - but luckily it didn't, as esuvii explains below while talking about the guild's preparation process: The way they avoided people dying to the bomb there was a simple hearthstone out for those affected, since it removes the debuff, with healers waiting at the inn for any additional damage from the dot! Also the extremely fast, sub-1 minute kill didn't hurt either. The entire run had 0 deaths but there were two very dangerous issues, starting with Vaelastrasz. Here's the Nefarian kill (and you can click through the video for the rest of the clear): Also, if you're here looking to see some hardcore deaths, stick around to the end of the article. ![]() It's been quite a while since we talked about hardcore kills - a year and three months since Ragnaros died to be exact - and HC Elite are back with the second raid of Vanilla WoW cleared! It took quite a while to muster up the courage to clear all the way to Nefarian and take him down, with pretty specific strategies needed for some bosses (Vael says hi), but HC Elite proved everything is possible with enough dedication and time. The later zones are much more interesting, however, as there are fewer deaths and the players getting there are presumably more dedicates, so let's take a look at the probably most classic Classic zone:Īnd here's the full list with the 14 zones that were examined: Other VERY deadly mobs include Voidwalker Minions from Durotar, Son of Arugal in Silverpine, Wendigo in Dun Morogh, Defias Trapper in Westfall and the MOST deadly mob in this overview: Kobold Miners from Elwynn. There's plenty of locations showcased in the reddit post below, and the highest number of deaths is mostly related to how many players chose which starting zone, and oh boy, there were a LOT of Night Elves not making it out of Teldrassil, and most of those were under level 10. We also get to see what exactly killed them, as well as the level range of deaths by zone (you'd be surprised at the amount of sub-level 10 deaths). This is based on data from the Deathlog addon, with 45,000 actual deaths logged in Classic. Here's a really interesting visualization, as paraizord shared zone maps with highlighted locations of where Hardcore players had died and who killed them. Please give us details about your experience when you submit feedback to that thread, especially which realm you tested. Was it too crowded, even for a launch day experience? Did it feel too empty or too crowded after you moved to the second zone? We’ll have a dedicated feedback thread for you here in this forum tomorrow, once the stress test has begun. We’d love to hear your feedback on your experience from level 1-15 on whichever realm you choose to test. We plan for it to be a blind test, so we don’t intend to publicize which realms have which settings (or when). ![]() In order to participate promptly in the stress test tomorrow, please make sure you install the game in advance by selecting World of Warcraft Classic from your Live accounts list.ĭuring tomorrow’s stress test, we plan to experiment with different settings that control the population of players. ![]() If you have multiple accounts for your selected version, you’ll see a second dropdown with your accounts listed to choose among.
