I'm not someone who likes to rag on Nihilum, but... damn. This just seems awfully fast.

wow. maybe they know something we don't?

Awesome, grats to the crew. Can't wait to get some details about the fight even though it'll be months before I get to see it myself.

I should clarify.

First off, I offer a big congratulations if there weren't any shenanigans.

However, it was done SO fast that it makes me suspicious, and I suspect there'll be an Illidan buff either way. But still, grats on stomping a new instance right out of the gate.

Congrats to Nihilum! DOn't think there's much to be suspicious about, especially since I think the whole raid has elixirs to give them a major advantage.

Apparently they are prepared

They are good but it's not sucpisious if you check out there website they make it clear they raid around 8+ hours a day usually more if you raided that much you'd probably be on the 2nd or 3rd boss of bt now even not being as good as those guys.

Also, the required their guildies to get in to Beta and raided 8 hours a day there from the time the patch was on the PTR. So, good for them but get a life....seriously. In the grand scheme of things putting "first to clear Black Temple" is a pretty crappy life achievement. I would rather be stuck in KZ having fun and a real life than what these people do.

This is ridiculous. get.a.life.people

So what is next for them? Put BT on farm status? Go back and finish off Archimonde? (or did they do that already?) Start a "Life after Illidan" series of articles?

/shrug


P.S. Grats!

/cue the people who talk down on the people who tell them to get a life in 3...2...

/Please ask the "get a life noobs" people to get ready. they're back in 5 minutes.

So you really can kill him.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there's going to be nobody left for future Warcraft games? No more Vashj, no more Kael'thas, I don't know what happens to Akama, but I don't see him in that screenshot. And what about Maiev? Kel'thuzad is killed, but he'll be back. And you know we're going to be able to kill Arthas eventually.

So that leaves Kil'jaeden and whatever's left of Sargeras, and a few Old Gods and the 3 remaining elemental lieutenants (Al'akir, Neptulon, and Therazane), and Deathwing. And then that's all the bad guys in the Warcraft universe.

@6 What raid doesn't have the group with full elixirs???

and *yawn to world firsts. do a real life world first, then i'll applaud you.

A big congratulations to Nihilum! But now what? I expect they'll farm the Black Temple for a while, but what do they do -after- the freshness has worn off?

@12.

good timing ;)

and i'm not saying that its "wrong" or anything. but being the first to defeat illidan isn't "winning" the game. the game is myriad things to millions of people.

and its undeniable that this is a ludicrous time committment for the vast majority of players.

no judgement in that. just reminding that we don't all need to aspire to the goals Nihlium sets for its guild.

Reply

@14 It's a fake universe... they can just make up new people to kill. Pretty simple really.

that staff is ridiculous. I want it. NOW


and @14 .. yeah, so? thats how you finish a game and move on to WoW 2 or World of Starcraft in a few years.

Its kind of a let down isn't it? Its been barely live a week and the BT has been done. It almost seemed too easy.
