This sort of video playback of the whole "World Firsts" history always struck a nostalgic cord in me. And with the original video not updated anymore, I felt like this was something that had to be done.
I present to you the remastered version of this trip down memory lane: errors and typos were fixed, and visuals were updated and improved.
NEW I also added some in-game models visuals and notes, and I used AI Software to clean up the "nerd screams" where original music was overlapping. The results are pretty good especially on bosses like Algalon, Ragnaros returns or some of the Legion kills!
Everything is unfolding from the very first progress of the game, to the most recent kill, when this video is released.
I tried to stay true to the original material, that I watched countless of time, while also improving it as best as I could:

What a legend, you updated after all these years ❤
Fun facts:
1. Kil'Jaeden had the longest progress since Nefarian in Blackwing Descent (Cataclysm) in 2010, so it broke a 7 year record. That boss was monstrously difficult. Its completion, even outside of world-first race, required multiple faction and race-swaps from a few classes for the goblin rockets movement ability to deal with the platform explosion knockbacks.
2. Liquid and Echo took part in the closest WoW race ever (so far) on Fyrakk, the last boss of Amirdrassil (Dragonflight). Liquid wiped at 1.73% and Echo at 1.82%. Echo was behind for most of the race, and even on Fyrakk, they where behind on several % for most of the boss' progression. They turned it around on the last few days and came to a victory.
Awesome video by the way
"Hello, and welcome to Did You Know Gaming..."
Thanks for those cool facts, I'll make sure to add them up for the next update!
I think the term „Echo was behind“ is kind of anaccurate, since Echo had on average 80+ pulls less than liquid. In the end, they ended up 120 pulls (25%) ahead of Liquid, which is a huge skill gap actually. Blizz should Release raids worldwide at the same time, to Not give advantages to certain regions. In the end it was close and fun to Watch, bc of the time difference, which made them end up at the same results of their pulls
Saying Echo was behind on Fyrakk is innacurate
@@simonsrensen4515 They were behind on % and kill count, and Limit got close to killing the last boss first, which is what the race is about. If you want to argue about efficiency or pulls per %, that's a different story.
@@rodrigoa4506 You dont even know that they arent called "Limit" anymore but go by Liquid. And no Liquid was not the first to get close to a kill, Echo got to sub 2% before Liquid did
Always a pleasure watching the older kill videos and seeing names I used to funny enough look up to in a weird way as a child back in Vanilla. I will always remember names like Kungen, Buzzkill, Seijta and more. Legends of the game simply because they were the best
Please keep this remastered alive ... we love to see the classic world first
So excited to see this updated! =)
You updated it ! Awesome
Thank you for the compilation 🎉 was so cool to watch how the game developed into something modern while still staying the same ❤
Yes!!!!!!!! You updated it!!!!!
thanks for the update hope you never let this die my friend
this video gave me chills man what a journey
Paragon era was truly awesome. Their kill vids were always top quality. Nef kill with all the feral druids was epic
updated the video What a legend
26:21 The clinking sound of silverware on plate. Dinner was had by the PC.
10/10 Video!
I'd love to see number of attempts, and possibly second/third places finishers as well (just stats) so that we can see how close the races were! Love the idea though!
Shoutout to those real fellas who keep updating this video!
Nihilum ❤
nice video bro
Paragon FOREVER
Nihilum always was good with strategical bosses
Awesome update. I still think Sylvanas was the best one, with Echo somehow squeezing out an extra 5% to cover the Mythic phase, even when it seemed impossible.
awsome video! I wonder how many headset broke tho lmaoo
You legend!
Paragon just dominated 2009 to 2011. Impressive
They dominated for way longer than that. Paragon = Nihilum = Ensidia prety much, mostly the same guild just with different names.
you are wrong. Paragon was a merge and had many players from my previous guild Beyond redemption in vanilla. Such as seijta, Jharzun and few others which i cant remember. Plus they merged with another finnish guild sauna or something. @@heyyopancake8531
@@heyyopancake8531 paragon has no relation to nihilum/sk/ensidia aside from competing against them for world firsts.
@@heyyopancake8531 Hell no. Ensidia and Nihilum were english-speaking guilds with members from different countries and Paragon was a completely Finnish guild and was formed, if I remember correctly, out of the members of Sauna and Taikametsän asukit.
Masterpiece, on the next 20 Years 👍🏼
EUPHORIA is the only word to describe these once in a lifetime special moments. Its a nice feeling to have been there to witness a handful of them.
Epic video bro! Love i!
Btw how do you calculate the progress time? Like for example you have Sylvanas for 7 days and then Jailer for 5 days, but Sepulcher was the longest RWF ever (like 18-20 days). Is it time spend just on the last boss?
Then I don think Echo spent 7 days on Sylvanas with 160 pulls :)
I indeed shot myself in the foot with this one.
I worked on multiple occasions on this video on the span of several years (wether it's this version, or my first iteration) and so the way I calculated this may have shifted in my mind without even realizing it.
But you're not the first to point out that discrepancy. I'll make sure to fix it for the next version! Thanks :)
Nobody cares how long sylvannas or the jailor took because SL is the soulless loser expansion
WOW this takes me back. Ill make it clear i went from original WOW ( right at the beginning ) and stopped bout a month into CATA. Was in a server second guild, 1st was topping out world 100 ish, we were topping out bout world 300, the races we had, they beat us mostly but we got alot of server firsts, probably bout 30%. my favorite was same night progress on WOTLK naxx, we were on Kel same time, we beat them by bout 2 minutes, happy HAPPY times 😁
seeing methodjosh in this made me chuckle
The tauren kills Ragna and goes to mana regen fore res instead of checking loot. MVP
A good thing for the video would be adding number of wipes on the 3 hardest bosses in the raid or something next to the amount of days they progressed the raid. There should be data on pulls atleast from MOP to current.
I was wondering what kind of simple data could be added and this would be relevant. The only thing is that I'd prefer data that can be tracked all the way back to Vanilla, but apart from the number of days of progress, these informations are sometimes hard to find.
But I'll maybe keep this idea for the next iteration ;)
@@Shyneur that data is i'm a TH-cam video ,later search the name of that video.
very good nice
@Shyneur
Missing one boss from WotLK.
What with Sartharion +3 drakes - who won world first and when? 🤔
You mean 2? Halion isn't in there either
The Lich King Kill is by far the best World First Ever! Paragon ❤ still Goosebumps on it
I disagree. Until Fyrakk I think Sylvanas was the most insane race and world first kill ever. Echo still on the "first" reset, barely making it to 50% only to realize they have to push her 5% further. Finding that Damage under pressure, while Liquid was reclearing the raid and having that extra gear would've made the fight soo much easier.
That fight was just a masterclass of min-maxing an encounter for a world first kill.
Anything after WOTLK was far to professional to be "insane".
@@GrosserBoeserVoodo
@@marcelkunz_finanzen and anything before cata was a cakewalk, barely worth mentioning.
sorry but what does "only defeated after new content was released" means next to Kael'Thas? as far as i remember the content after was Mount Hyjal? and the only way you could get there was to defeat Vashj and Kael'Thas?
KT was defeated after the massive nerfs that came with the release of BT.
Love that most got hyjal and some BT down before KT Lol😅
you can tell how much addons and WA helped the community to improve the performance
Really cool idea for a vid! Just hits different, seeing the evolution of the game, the players, and even UIs xD
If I may offer some constructive critique; Number of days in progress alone is not the best indicator for difficulty, to be honest. Number of attempts + days would be good when possible, to get a better idea of how hard the progress was.
Also, if you're gonna credit the music and do a disclaimer, please try to do the same for the artwork you used.
1) He's not trying to show any form of "difficulty". He's simply giving data.
2) Artwork by Blizzard. Literally the in-game and company artworks. There.
enfin une update :D
I haven't watched the whole thing but if you are looking for any opinions... it would be nice to include optional boses that may or may not actually be the end boss but may be considered harder. The first that comes to mind is Nightbane. I didn't get that far but maybe Lei Shen vs Ra Den. Algalon. There may not be too many more examples. I quit in early BFA so I know nothing of the game since too.
Thanks for all the good memories...I played this since 2004 :)
Is just me or is it weird that the progress duration is counted from the first pull of the actual endboss, apparently?
Would make more sense to count the release date, to reflect the difficulty of previous bosses in that raid, wouldn't it?
What happened with Prot Paladin damage on Pandaria? Look at these Treckie numbers in Lei Shen and Garrosh
Tank Vengeance absolutely soared in MoP, given them things like 300k extra AP. Every tank was able to achieve this but prot paladin was able to convert this to healing from Seal of Insight (glyphed)
Still get tingles with these. Still the reason i play wow. For me the rush from killing a boss after a 100 plus wipes just isnt matched by any other game.
epic moments
Good video, but you need to make some research of the latest kills. For example, progress on Jailer was closer to 3 weeks than 5 days; progress on Fyrakk lasted about 2 weeks.
Updated but still got the wrong Lady Vashj guild..
History
Days spent progressing doesn't do it justice considering that RWF guilds have been doing 14-16 hour days for a long time now, doing more pulls in a day that vanilla guilds would do in a full lockout.
Usso still taunting xD
I think you forgot to add Ruby Sanctum
Is there a version of this without the cinematic score drowning out all the players' voices?
There isn't unfortunately, cause this probably would take away half of the epicness of the whole video.
But I could consider including one in the description of the next update :)
G'huun missing?
Wait, did he miss Sart with the Dragons in Wotlk
what happened with Sartarion, it is not included, any infos?
If it's not in the video, it's probably because it wasn't a part of the original videos, so I thought there must have been a reason for it, and it was probably because this was considered a minor boss that wasn't really a part of the whole "progress race".
But I could see it being added in the future, why not.
@@Shyneur I would be pleased, also i appreciate your work, its a really good and informative video well done
Ruby Sanctum Halion?
The song 6:08 ??
usso taunta usso tuanta
Yea idk Jailer was 18 days , not 5 days. liquid litteraly gave up because the race was so crazy long
Y halion?
Anyone know why Nefarian raid had like 10 druids in the group?
I don’t remember exactly but it was mostly feral druids because of a slow they could do on the adds there.
Two reasons:
1) Pre nerf electrocute hits so hard, that the only non tank spec that can survive it without a CD is a druid in bear form. Also barkskin is incredibly valuable in this fight.
2) With the original snapshot rules, you could snapshot the portal buff with your DoT effects. Feral was the best at abusing this. A good feral druid could do 100k + dps with good RNG, about 2-3x the dps the actual top dps classes could pull.
The original pre fix/nerf version of the fight was generally considered impossible without stacking druids.
Why the Fyrakk progress is 4 days, if he was killed only on 11s day?
saw the answer below, not atual
While i agree that spine of deathwing was the true endboss of dragon soul, you label it as madness of deathwing which is the actual endboss, but show a killvideo of spine of deathwing which is the second to last boss.
Fyrakk took 13 days btw
i really love liquid, i hope they can win next race !
I just shocking to see how the old ones, the Progress day were a lot compare to now, I truly believe Blizzard need make this harder for this ppl or something, I know there is a lot difference back then, but maybe now ppl got geared so easly compare to back then.
Well compare mechanics back then to today - exactly. There weren’t many.
Usso taunta
Paragon killed Will of the emperor first try...
Nihilum ean como Method de hoy en dia?
Didn’t Method have World first on Lady Vashj?
Technically they did but they don’t count it for some odd reason and they had another in tbc but it was also not counted then one in wrath then in cata they were the favorites since everyone have been talking about this one guild rising and taking over as #1 worldly but shockingly they didn’t get one they should’ve got at least 3 in that expansion, I was shocked tbh, then mop till bfa they dominated no one was better than them, they had a stacked roster. But yeee if you count the one they should’ve gotten in tbc plus another then the one in wrath it would be 15 world firsts technically for method in the 14-15 expansions then in shadowlands they weren’t really a good team anymore since well yea know, they should’ve terminated joshes contract maybe after the first tier in bfa like uldir since he was brought in by then, but nope he had to ruin the image of the best guild in wow history, it goes from the best vids/strats/kills etc guild to well the bottom of the barrel so method would be #1, then paragon #2, ensidia #3, blood legion #4, limit #5, exorsus #6, echo #7, then the rest would just filter in obviously covering the top hundreds or so guilds around the world competing
But ya wish sco would’ve built a successful and know how to win and what it takes to win roster heading into shadowlands to revive the organization and to bring back the team in its own image, since it was tainted. Then method would be still on top, I mean they will always go down being the #1 guild in wow history since they have the most achieved world firsts and world first kills in wow history, but now echo has taken over for the past 2 xpacs which is basically method 2.0 bc you include all the echo members as apart of method since most of their time being tg has been in method now carrying that synergy and same mindset and criteria etc doesn’t really take long or surprise anyone that they got world firsts in sl and df
I love this video, don’t ever delete your TH-cam account or the video. Also, kinda interesting seeing the man who ruined Method on here. Surprised you didn’t redact his name / cam. Dude costed the RWF a lot.
No matter what happened, at that time he was part of the history of the guild, and I felt that I had no right to decide for myself if I was censoring its appearance or not.
I'd prefer to leave it as it is, even so to not draw more attention to him for the next years, and people that might not be aware of what happened.
That's my thoughts on this topic!
@@Shyneurfair enough. Thats why I didn't mention his name. Its a shit situation.
the dude that released right before the world first ragnaros kill, big oof
Кому-то 40 минут, мне же путь в дохера лет....
Uldir has been skipped 😅
Nihilum and Paragon bests wow guilds. In thier prime nothing could stand on way.
Wrong
Paragon is #2 and nihilum is #3, ensidia is #4 then so on
Method has the most achieved world firsts in kills and end bosses so that makes them the #1 guild in wow history paragon has half of their wfs altg
finishing a race in 4 days feels very strange / bad to me.
It is not 4 days tho. The creator of the video is not counting earlier bosses in the raid only the time it took to kill the last boss
Liquid whoooooo?
The disrespect not including Premonition's only World First kill, Halion in Ruby Sanctum, is uncalled for. Yes, it's considered the worst raid ever. That doesn't dismiss their World First kill. Put some respect on their name.
Just seen that comment while reviewing some of them. In the original video, Halion wasn't included in the list of bosses showcased, so I really wasn't sure if I was missing some or not.
But, his name having been brought up multiple times alongside "Sartarion", I'll make sure to add them for the next update :]
I've been playing WoW since 2005 and I still get as excited as the first day.
I feel like race to world first has gotten so far from being a community event, it used to just take some dedicated dudes in a basement, anyone could achieve it, now it's just organizations with tons of money and headquarters with players that play the game 24/7 as their job because they're paid to, it feels soulless
Weird take. It's still the best players in the world by far, it's just now they can actually do it for a living which to me is a good thing. Sure there's some fondess of the idea that it used to be people with regular jobs grinding with 0 recognition, but now we have the highest level of play we have ever seen. It's also not been just some dudes for a very long time now, and not "anyone" could achieve a world first. The social and guild dynamics, scouting and stealing players, all still existed.
@@Halikarz31it’s actually way more epic when it’s just a group of regular old dudes doing it, not a sponsored team. 🥱
You need to understand that 'gamers' as a whole got 100x better as time went on (and I don't mean on just WoW) and so eventually fights like the ones on retail might take less days/weeks to kill a boss or raid compared to back then but you also need to keep in mind that these guys are doing pulls on these bosses over and over and over for 10hrs a day and wiping over 600 times while playing with some of the best players and having coaches and INSANE raid leading during these world first attempts.
It is actually much harder nowadays to world first these bosses compared to back then.
It’s definitely gotten better. We can watch progression live now as opposed to waiting for a TH-cam video to drop
Also remember the reason classic raids took so long to clear was because back then blizzard had it so raid trash would respawn on you MID clear. If you wiped on rag after like 2-3 hours of MC? Congrats, all the trash is back up. And level 58 elites with aoe pulses back then were LETHAL to players not fully geared and still dangerous to those that were.
Its not the same as it was back in the days for real. I wish the good old times half of the people didn't even know what to wear or anything about a raidboss.
Fyrakk took 13 days since release not 4 days.
The boss on mythic difficulty wasn't available until the second week after the raid release, so 4 days of progression on that boss
Progress on Fyrakk was 11 days not 4 days.
Since this video focuses on the last boss of each raid, I wanted to emphasize the time put into this specific boss from the first time it was pulled to the last, not taking into account the previous bosses of the raid.
This is a choice I made for everyone to better "visualize" how much days each guilds took on that very last boss, but not everyone agree that it's the best method. So maybe for the next update I'll just stick to the "whole raid" numbers. We'll see what people think of it generally :)
@@Shyneur Or just add both. 1 For the boss 1 for the the whole raid.
Gruul kill footage is also not the world first
2nd place but with extra steps
Congrats i guess tho
:(
imagine my disappointment when all these finnish guilds got world first, and i didn't hear a single 'PERKELE!!'
I cant believe just how bad at the game we were back then.
5 days Jailer, nice joke
Todays first kills are worthless. Look at them, unlimited gold and money, thousand of helpers - nah, I don't give a crap.
ye u are right, after cata they broke the game
EU > NA. all day
The tank for gruul in full t3 with t fury is funny to me cause like yhe kara gear was shit in comparison 😅 so sad
he's wearing t5 stuff?
A bunch of nerds 😂
And gdkp fuck the game😂
A clear video on how wow went from a great game to a lgbt shit game with dummy bosses. Goodbye, favourite game, we will remember you.
Wow is dead
agreed
Dang crazy music. Thumbs down.
them, i can belive all the garbage battles in this game, the only good ones were in wotlk
For fairy race to World 1st, they must not testing this raids on ptr, and disable 90% of addons... Killing bosses in cybersport eith addons, its like a play in True sport with drugs
Usso taunta
