2.2 World First Thread

[Arkghyom]

I just want to get the world first world second.

That is so passé, like third is the new second.

I thought Rare Ex already got world first turn 9...

The only world firsts I want to track is first time clears of 6-9 and Leviathan EX. "World First" PS3 only, RP, etc is just patent nonsense and irrelevant. There was a lot of ambiguity with 1-4 clears for world first so wanted a central location that tracks it. The casuals got their Casual Tower, let the progression raiders enjoy their content.

If you think you're anything but a casual yourself in a one-day-a-week raiding MMO you're deluding yourself mate.

Anyone who raided in Everquest, Final Fantasy XI, and WoW, among others, are shaking their heads at you right now.

Sorry but I have to ask. Is the goal of a "Progression Raider" to blow through the content as quick as they can just so you can claim you where first to do it? Are you also gonna have a world first "New content too easy! I have nothing to do because I raced to beat 2.2 it's the casuals fault, whine and cry!"

Gotta treat games like a bag of candy. Like I tell my kids eat a piece or two and enjoy the treat. If you eat the entire bag as quickly as you can then don't cry to me when you didn't eat it in moderation.

Some people enjoy getting to be one of the first to experience new content as its fresh and strategies are not online. It's also a lot of fun figuring it out before anyone else. Others prefer to wait til the top players beat it first, so they can watch the guides posted online my Mr Happypants. Others aren't capable of figuring new things out on their own, so they have to wait for others to do it first. Whatever your situation is, don't complain about what other's want to do.

Not everyone is complaining that there isn't enough content. Only the one class wonders. Those of us who care have now geared up a third or fourth alt and run with multiple groups across top FCs to run coil multiple times per week. Killing twintania 5 times per week on different jobs in one shot is more fun than only killing it once a week on the same job every week.

I will be waiting.

first world first problems

[C-croft]

Would be a bit easier to care about world firsts if we weren't talking about 8-man content in one of the most ridiculously casual MMOs in the current market.

Actually, no, I guess it wouldn't. World firsts ceased to matter about half way through the last decade.

This is the best post in this thread. Not because it's true. But because every end game FC bitched and cried about twintania's ridiculous difficulty with twisters and mechanics, one forum poster got to the point of trying to deny BGs world first because the video recording showed someone clicking. Of course, twintania gets nerfed, and now all these FCs clear twintania. All of a sudden it became too casual.
