The Biggest Event in World of Warcraft Explained!

[@0mn0mable]

Hey Naguura, great vid - more of this series please! If you can find interesting threads/themes to pull on regarding the race to world first in a deep dive video format im here for it.

[@Naguura]

There is so much I could talk about! I would love to do more detailed videos, I'll wait and see if more people are interested and which topics! Thank you :)

[@larasthor2]

​@@Naguurafue una clase magistral, muy buen trabajo!

[@PetriAL]

With how good WoW is doing at the moment, I'm so sure, that these kind of videos are very much in need. Wonderful job here explaining the basics 👌

[@Vigol7]

Iv been playing wow since WoD and this is my very first time watching and following a RWF and its been a blast loved just having the stream on while playing Wow. Thanks for this video Naguura i love your content and definitely need more detailed videos about WoW, i can tell how passionate you are about all of this and it's the reason i watch your content.

[@Fanatisicm]

Really well explained Nagura, I found this very interesting ❤

[@AlexTheFou]

I play this game since 2009 and i did not knew all the effort that has to be done in order to do the world first kill! Great vid! Thank you!

[@piofernandes6498]

Playing everytime a day only taking break to food or sleep? Guess we are all in world first race, guys.

[@Tony_Indiana]

The good news we have never been closer to nuclear war in the middle east and russia. We have never had such political rhetoric in the USA. Soon the race for much of us, the race might end. Truthfully, I am ready, take me first. The world without us, the planet will do better.

[@jblitzen]

I appreciate this video, thanks! It helped me make sense of some of the UI stuff I’m seeing as a new/occasional player. I’m still learning what addons and UI elements I can use in lower difficulty content like low mythics and new dungeons and stuff, when I have a hard time navigating or keeping track of fights without experience.

[@derekdanger5584]

Great video!! I needed this hahaha

[@apocalypsed]

Thank you for explaining some of the UI elements. This is the second rwf I'm watching, so knowing what is what on the screen is a great help. ♥

[@syxqid3818]

I love videos where you explain something 😊 hope for more. Top work Naguura

[@LucasHeim]

I tried to check the stream but was really confused not ever having played WoW before. Your video was exactly what I needed, thank you! If there's a follow-up, there a few terms from the broadcast which would be really interesting to understand, like Pulls and the percentages that show up for each guild on the leaderboard.

[@dglynch222]

A "pull" is an attempt to kill the boss, either successful or unsuccessful. So the pull number you see on the broadcast is the number of attempts that guild has made against that boss. For example, Liquid killed Nexus-Princess on the 303rd attempt. Very brief abortive attempts are not counted. The percentage you see next to each guild is the boss' ending HP from their current best attempt against the boss they are currently working on. So right now, Liquid is shown as 61.72% because that's the lowest HP level they've ever managed to get Queen Ansurek: it's not necessarily their most recent attempt, but their best one so far.

[@LucasHeim]

@@dglynch222 Thank you, that's very informative!

[@Experiment.626]

You’re my fav ! Love your videos and streams thanks for all you do for the community and your kindness ❤

[@sophblueberry]

Excellent video! Definitely could have used this last tier when I started getting in to the race 😅 still, super interesting to learn more about the downsides of earlier reset

[@kat8506]

Thank you for your videos ❤

[@deephon]

Das ist richtig guter Content! Bitte mehr davon!

[@luckyskaven13]

For me personally it's all review, but super helpful as a resource to share with other folks in my life

[@Pastrahmy]

Here I am struggling to poorly gear one character 😂

[@jazz_amat]

I feel like this is a direct response to a question I had asked on your stream...

[@IvanVuković-c9g]

thank You 😊🙃

[@Alijamaru]

Blizz should show support to the race to world first event more then the pvp stuff or mythic dungeons borefest

[@ryanzz1357]

Love the rwf videos ; give us more ❤

[@lollylula6399]

The biggest event isn't Brewfest? 😅 Love you Naguura

[@virallock]

Hot take: why don’t they make tournament realms for RWF. Realms are open until top 10 guilds beat the pinnacle boss. Heroic loot is on vendors, realms go live globally Why would this be remotely better? Removes splits being a thing, allows more people to get involved from competing teams and watchers heroic week/splits sucks to watch Removing the RNG and time investment removes a lot of barriers But does create this weird “do I even play my live characters” for the actual people in the race and any not racing feel like they playing a different game Would make a more level playing field and funner to watch. But brings some weird social problems

[@KingJerbear]

I think the aspect of doing splits and farming gear, renown, etc. is a huge part of the race. One team could get extremely lucky and get a huge head start, or the opposite. The amount of people involved besides the 30 in the raid is an enormous factor, and all of these people have to come together at a high level to be the best. On top of that, as you mentioned there's the whole point of not playing your own characters, competition of people vying for the highest gear score and biggest drops. Global Release of course seems like a no-brainer, I would assume the only reason it hasn't been implemented is that Blizzard doesn't think they can pull it off smoothly enough.

[@NockLaumOK]

So, if it's not sponsored by Blizzard, who's paying for all that?

[@robertomontano3571]

U are the best!!!

[@psychelicious5003]

Oh come on, NA absolutely has an advantage. There is no "wasted time on a boss". They got extra time to practice the mechanics on that boss regardless of whether that boss was killable at that point or not.

[@Br3576]

No one really argues that NA generally has the advantage overall. It’s just not as significant of an advantage as it looks at a surface level

[@jummu1ttv]

cute video naguura! 🥰

[@SVENSENMTB]

a tip, next time please remove that light behind your glasses.. they shine and is annoying =) other wise, good video

[@80sgamer76]

Big reason why I dont raid anymore, it started to look more like a job then a game and I have been playing since 2004 and have raided every single expansion until Shadowlands then just stopped because its just a rinse and repeat over and over again it does have a lot to do with me getting older I will be 50 in 2 years, yeah I started playing WoW when I was 28 years old - 🤪

[@mrsleep0000]

Naguura voice pack for DBM when? Come on! Make it happen!

[@MaximilianJPaul]

WoW

[@QuickSh0t]

The biggest event? Odd, most of the community ignores it. Maybe 5% care, probably less.

[@kat8506]

Look at twitch viewer numbers and you have your answer

[@bobbythememe]

There are no prize pools but the race brings in literally millions of dollars. There are no losers because they both make boat loads of money. The privatization of the race means the players make a lot more money than if blizzard took it under its banner. But with this privatization comes it being a closed club that brings in basically no new players. You also get predatory and dangerous sponsorships - no one, and certainly no WoW players at our grown age - should be encouraged to down 4+ energy drinks. That’s another reason blizzard will never take the race over - it’s dangerous for the players (aging) health. The race also forces the narrative that only these players can do this because they are the best in the world. While they are the best, the race is a closed club and that is why only they can do it. The barrier of entry for mythic raiding is astronomically high - the barrier for entry for this level is raiding is basically impossible. The race is detrimental to the health of the game - game balance always suffers because of raid balance. Big fan tho!

[@Alric79]

I have a hard time seeing that the RWF would be better under a Blizzard umbrella from a player (participant) perspective, they don't have a stellar e-sports reputation when it comes to rewarding the teams that put the effort in.

[@bobbythememe]

@@Alric79 that’s what I’m saying. The players would get pennies compared to what they make now. The players definitely make more, but at the cost of the health of the game and a better competition. The narrative that only these players in the world can do this is wrong. There are many skilled players (not me) who will never be able to do this because the barrier of entry is astronomically high. There is no path to pro. There is hardly new blood. There is also no real stakes in the race. Who cares if you win when you make boat loads of money anyway. Again, the race is a million dollar event - it is extremely profitable. And that’s what the race will be so as long as it is privatized - a way to make money hidden under the guise of a community event. If they did a survey, I am very positive most RWF viewers don’t even play the game anymore. I like the race - but I’d love for people to acknowledge it for what it is.

[@LILEE376]

The biggest event for about 1% of the WoW players. I mean 1% who at least knows or care about it, not participate in the event.

[@chrismccarthy2321]

Biggest event? Meh, does anyone really care? Other than the raiders of course.

[@Siwoo-bz7sd]

Yeah a lot of people who don't do raiding and are on casual content or just M+ players are very interested in the event. Especially since it is seen as NA vs EU even if you aren't a raider you will still be interested. Overall, you need to see things from the bigger picture as I am just a casual player but still get hyped whenever I see a team kill a boss in Mythic for the very first time.

[@williamhoey2344]

you cared enough to comment so maybe look at yourself first.

[@KingJerbear]

I mean there's 50-60k people watching almost around the clock, even when these guys are playing until 3am (depending on timezone) and you may not see any progress for an extremely long time.. So yeah, I'd say it garners a lot of interest.

[@bluestar4ever1]

1st :)

[@KrasusDB]

Ppl should stop over-inflating the importance of damn race to world first. That's what hurts wow the most. Honestly, they should delete mythic raids from wow completely imo. It's stupid to balance the game around 0,5% top players. Or... on the other hand bottom of the player base. Bring back 1-2 difficulties max.

[@Wowadruid]

if u are to bad for mythic, so just play lfr/nhc/hc :)

[@KrasusDB]

You miss the point completely ofc. It's not about people being good or bad for mythic. It's about game balance, economy... Much more. Ofc close minded ppl like you can't see it.

[@trancer03]

its not even 0.5% of wow players. it's literally only the top 150 or so players out of millions that compete in this haha

[@williamhoey2344]

@@KrasusDB is this your take or did u read it on reddit and choose to believe it?

[@Painchiller]

Bosses are hard for like 2 weeks. After the race ends, it gets nerfed for the normal Playerbase. Why exactly people should not be aloud to play hard content?

[@redscouse8568]

Race to World First /yawn

[@leonardopelizzon1196]

no money prize lol, i guess they should lose then and see what happens to the sponsors

[@Heartkiller1991]

Waste of time imo. But then again, I don't see the point in "e-sports"
