The race for the mythical Firstkill of Kil’jaeden in WoW is on. However, the professional guilds Method and Exorsus are not really interested anymore.
So far, Kil’jaeden, the current final boss of World of Warcraft, has not been defeated on the mythical difficulty in the raid instance “Tomb of Sargeras”. This is also because only two guilds have reached him at all – Method and Exorsus. However, both guilds are not having much fun racing for the Firstkill, as they have some significant complaints.
Both guilds are complaining on Twitter that they do not feel like players in the Tomb of Sargeras, but rather like members of quality assurance. Some abilities and time periods in the Tomb are so absurd that one has to wonder if they were even tested.
As Scott McMillan from Method says:
“I wish Blizzard would be much quicker with the tuning. Some mechanics and timings in the fights are just ridiculous – it’s demotivating when these fights feel untested.”
They find it particularly annoying that the previous raid, the Night Hold, was almost perfect in terms of tuning and Blizzard responded very quickly to bug reports. Bugs were often fixed within a few hours with a hotfix, allowing for progress. As Exorsus states:
“That we now feel like internal QA members is really underwhelming after the good Night Hold raid.”
Even with the Fallen Avatar, the previous boss, there were some complaints. Many community members thought that it was mathematically impossible to defeat the boss under legal conditions. However, at least two guilds have proven that it is still possible.
As soon as one of the two guilds sends Kil’Jaeden to the ground, we will report on it.
By the way, there are already serious hints in the game about how the Legion will end!
