Yeah..

except that noone really cares about 1 boss raid in minor patch and sites like wowprogress update their data on similiar times afaik. so my guild has server first saurfang amongst 20 guilds :I

Was there world first kill of onyxia and was it on the media? What about world first saurfang? Yeah just my thoughts. People, its still ONE BOSS RAID. Theres no progression at all. Just enjoy the raid for while.

Honestly people already went mad on wowheads facebook and all (this rants not directed to you Kuba btw :D)
People QQd that "omg 24h maintance on my server thanks blizz for killing our progression!"
What progression? You kill 1 boss and do it every week because you are bored.

I don't understand why this is a big deal either. So some random guild on an UP battlegroup gets a world first on a one boss kill. Whys that a big deal? It's not like people on any one server have got an advantage over players from the same server.

I wouldn't be pissed off except that they made us wait an entire extra week so the other regions could get it... then they screw some of us out of it?

Thanks Blizzard, thanks so much. How about next time, since it's obviously so unimportant, you just open Ruby Sanctum when the patch first goes live?

SOBs.

It's valid to think that it shouldn't be seen as much of a big deal. After all the expansion is about the Lich King and world first Lich King kill means something quite different.

However, you can't forget that this is the LAST content that will be released in WOTLK, and therefore the first guild that can kill Heroic Halion has essentially claimed the title of first guild to complete the entirety of content from WOTLK.

It means a lot to many guilds, especially the serious ones, and they essentially were promised a fair chance just to have it unjustly taken away from them.

This will generate more resentment than anything since the Rise of the Paladin at the end of BC.

How are you getting it on heroic? We are trying to get it switched after downing it on normal, having one person from that raid switch it for us, but it's not working, keeps changing it to normal when entering.

the thing is they make american's wait an extra week, then open it while all the eu realms are down while they add the patch to them

so my point, why the hell the wait in the first place if there wasn't going to be a level playing field (atleast thats what i presume blizz were going for in making the americans wait a week)

@Mark (not really directed at you but your commend epitomizes the QQ)

Obviously this is the end of existence as we know it. Kindly delete all your toons, and cancel your account so you have time to QQ more.

Seriously? It's a GAME people. So you got a virtual accomplishment before virtually anyone else in a virtual world - or you could not do so. I'm sure a lot of people were similarly unable to enter Ruby Sanctum for a variety of other reasons, like kids, jobs, real life....

It's a GAME. Play, or don't play. There is no cry.

@sheets_brandon

Your missing something important about the "First Kill" status. It's not the first to actually defeat the boss but the least amount of time taken to do so when the option to do so becomes available. This means if a European team does it yesterday at 3:02AM and an American teams did it today at 3:01AM then the American team gets the first kill. Yes, it is only by a technicality but it is fair.

Technically the people on the PTR's were the first to claim victory assuming any in house testing by blizzard doesn't count.
