The WoW expert Preach is afraid of the “World First” race. This is mainly due to the terribly bad fight against N’Zoth.
In World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, the popular “World First” race will take place in a few days. Worldwide, many guilds will once again try to achieve the first kill of the raid boss N’Zoth in mythic mode. However, the YouTuber and streamer Preach considers the final fight to be a disaster and wonders what went wrong at Blizzard.
Who is Preach? Preach is a rather analytical YouTuber and streamer who enjoys a good reputation in the World of Warcraft community. He often analyzes gameplay content and lists what worked well in WoW’s content and what did not. He will also comment on the “World First” race from Germany as a caster next week.
What does Preach criticize? Preach generally likes the new raid Ny’alotha. The first 11 bosses are challenging and interestingly designed. Although there are a few exceptions and mechanics that probably worked better on paper than in practice, Preach praises this as well.
It is better to try something creative and new and not have 100% success than to keep repeating the same pattern. However, Preach finds the fight against N’Zoth really bad. In his view, it is one of the worst boss fights.
Players, on the other hand, are disappointed with the end cinematic.
What makes the fight against N’Zoth so bad? Preach criticizes the lack of creativity from the developers in the final fight against N’Zoth. It is a mechanic that repeats three times with slight variations.
Basically, you only have to pull a specific mob to tentacles and defeat the tentacles because that weakens the mob. You repeat this several times in the fight before, in the last phase, you simply ignore all adds and take down the boss.
This is not exciting and lacks creativity after such a spectacular final fight as in the previous raids against Azshara or Jaina.
The fight against an Old God lacks exactly this typical “Old God” element, such as in the fight against Yogg-Saron or the Sha of Fear. There were different levels with visions, a lot of different abilities and visually impressive effects with great significance.
N’Zoth basically only has the mechanic of driving players insane. This is something that Yogg-Saron could also do, but was much better staged. The video after the fight is also rather disappointing.
Other final bosses are much better: This discrepancy becomes especially clear to Preach when comparing N’Zoth to other major final bosses of an expansion.
N’Zoth is as important as the Lich King, the fight against Illidan, the finale against the Titan Argus or Garrosh Hellscream. These bosses all have different, visually impressive phases with cool transitions and interesting innovations.
All of this is missing with N’Zoth and leaves Preach only puzzled: “Blizzard, what the hell happened?”
Preach has no doubt that N’Zoth will be the most difficult boss fight in mythic Ny’alotha. However, it still would not be a good fight with interesting mechanics worthy of a final boss like N’Zoth.
Or as Birb Man says under Preach’s video:
Can we not just say that the entire Battle for Azeroth was just a vision of N’Zoth and we wake up now with our artifact weapons in hand?
Are you looking forward to the “World First” race? Have you already defeated N’Zoth on normal or heroic? What do you think about it?
