Individual Raids - Solo Raid Speedruns
8 years ago
Georgia, USA

This is something that the community has been having some discussion over for quite some time now, and after reviewing the potential for a leader board for Individual Raids, I decided to implement, and create the entire Individual Levels board earlier. I've added all of the raids listed below, as it is every raid up until the release of WoD raids. I figure until we transition WoD off of our leader-boards (huge community discussion in the distant future).

Molten Core Blackwing Lair Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj Temple of Ahn'Qiraj

Karazhan Gruul's Lair Magtheridon's Lair Serpentshrine Cavern Tempest Keep Battle for Mount Hyjal Black Temple Sunwell Plateau

Naxxramus Obsidium Sanctum Vault of Archavon Eye of Eternity Ulduar Trial of the Crusader Onyxia's Lair (85) Trial of the Grand Crusader Ruby Sanctum Icecrown Citadel

Baradin Hold Bastion of Twilight Throne of Four Winds Blackwing Descent Firelands Dragon Soul

Mogu'Shan Vaults Heart of Fear Terrace of Endless Springs Throne of Thunder Siege of Orgrimmar

  • While many may, or may not be against this decision (granted, it was a personal one), I feel like it being away from the main board, a completely separate board, isn't hurting anyone, and possibly new speedtech could be discovered through Individual Raids.

  • With individual raids not requiring the farming of heirlooms, certain rings, expensive potions, and rare elixirs; I feel like players can still crush their old raids, farm their mounts, but submit times with confidence.

I'm open to all discussion, opinion, organization of the board, and more. As far as verification is concerned, I'm not burdening sadrunslive with the mundane task of having to organize that board, nor verify, but he is all-willing!

Positives: Separate boards, playing their mains, chances of mount drops, chances of rare drops, in general, less RNG for Rare Mobs. Possibly even more competitive.

Negatives: Getting people to start recording and uploading individual raids / small video files. It being more activity feed for the game in terms of records, but users can turn this off themselves in their own options for the game.

Awesome, looking forward to going fast in all the raids :D

Also I just noticed Demon Hunter isn't a valid class for splits or submissions. Could we have this added please? Thanks!

I've gone under the edit game settings for the leaderboard and have now set Demon Hunter as a valid submission for "All Categories" for the main board and individual raids!

I've ran a test of the submission options, and it appears Demon Hunter is there, one option above the bottom option for my view. If you can Conjured, see if this is something you are able to see as well, and we can confirm it was added to the board!

Thank you cdgexe,

I'm extremely happy to have these be a possiblity now. I have been wanting to do speedruns for games for a while, but i dont play any game as well as i play WoW. (That doesnt mean im amazing at wow) You have given me a fun outlet to work on as a personal improvement.

I eagerly await the competition between us all.

Coming back to update on this post...

I'm glad to see that there has been an increasing amount of submissions for the Individual Raids. I've noticed that there are a surge of notifications concerning "World Records", etc., and still wanted to let everyone know that you can turn off those notifications, if you'd like.

There's probably going to be a post later today also with general introduction information, item links, etc., so that will be something to be on the look-out for.

Enjoying the competition! -cdgexe- B)

Are there any movement speed Items or Toys in the game that are helpful for Speedruns? If so what items would you suggest?

I'm working on a comprehensive thread for this at the moment, so that it's going to be user-friendly. It's taking me some time, and I thought it would have been ready yesterday evening or today, but I'll see what I can do about getting it out soon. It will be another thread with everything you'll need to know. :)

Awesome! I appreciate all the work you are doing for the community!

I could help with the guide/make videos if you like. I've been messing around with a few things and know how to obtain them.
