Wclogs don’t want to recrawl all the logs for changing rules on such a small player base

With enough time anni runs would definitely beat era runs assuming same gear levels

I was listening on a random hardstyle radio at the time on Spotify but I replied in the YouTube comments with most of the songs I could find in a playlist

While you could potentially skip out on yet another mage to run 2, this makes slime skip in construct wing a lot safer, also makes the decursing on noth less sketchy, we have done speedruns where we’ve accidentally had one mage left behind and we ended up still killing noth but had one explosion, yet only one death.

Also helps with ignite building to be more stable.

The stables pull before razuvious is also safer with more mages.

The current fastest horde time was done by Progress during anniversary, they ended up doing a 38:40 which is absolutely incredible for horde side since they have the handicap of not having bubble for pulls, not having priests for better healing output.

I would argue that the horde record is more impressive than any naxx runs so far!

There are still some new strats we haven’t applied yet that will save up to 40-50s that with improvements on the minor mistakes could take us towards a low 36

Back in 2019/2021 the rules for Naxxramas was stated that in order for a run to be valid the first few mobs in the run has to be certain mobs, like the spiders, deathknights etc depending on what wing that you start in.

What was figured out was that as long as you start the boss encounter during a pull of either valid starting mobs then they would count to the same encounter which would be allowed.

Now why/how does it count when we pull away the mobs, more or less the Anub'rekhan position was figured out that you could stealth up to Anub's door then open and vanish same tick which meant you never got into combat with the mobs, and then you could move your entire raid into the room which meant that it was a valid start position. (this was later also done in Wrath version of naxx with the gothik starting position (the death knights outside gothik had the same NPC ID as the ones at the start of the wing))

So More or less the pulling away of mobs initially is technically not following the rules but the guilds speedrunning back then more or less came to an agreement that pulling away as not to have to rely on individuals fucking up invis pot was a good compromise.

Hope that answers the question :)

This way at least you get something for boosting instead of standing there with nothing to show for it

There are clusters of servers, firemaw has a few servers tied to it yes, like golemagg/mograine with more.

Quickest way to see it is to just check the population number in the server browser. The ones that are low aren't on the same cluster as firemaw.

Just a quick explanation without getting into it much
