WoWProgress Records Speed Kills


10 years ago


WoWProgress now records all your boss kills (not only first, but also 2nd, 3rd, etc) - with all timestamps, raid setups, item levels!

By comparing timestamps of consecutive boss kills we are able to measure how fast you kill farm-bosses.

Your guild pages now show "Fastest kill" values for bosses you killed (note that you should not change more than 2 members during raid to be able to record kill speed).

Incoming very soon:
- Boss speed kills rankings: World-wide, Region-wide, Realm-wide!

Be ready!

    I like the new feature, but I really enjoyed seeing the item level of a guild at the time of its FIRST kill. Please add that back, if possible!

    If you scroll it down, you'll see first kill setup also.
    I'll try to make a better layout.

    As of right now, it seems like if I go to a guild's page and click on TIER16 [NOT Tier16(10) or Tier16(25)]I can see the item level of the guild at the time of the first kill. If that's intended then that's great, because like I stated in the above comment I like the feature where I can see the item level of a guild at the time of it's FIRST kill.

    Fun addition however this won't really work for 25m guilds since they usually swap a lot more than 2 players per raid. :(

    If I understand correctly, this includes the time of the trash before each boss, then?

    Yes, that's correct.

    It appears as though our first Garrosh farm kill has overwritten our actual first kill and is being labeled as first, with incorrect date and raid comp/ilvl. It doesn't change rank but that's still 2 days earlier than currently indicated (killed 21st shown 23rd) and that matters to us. Is there a fix coming for this?

    Yeah this is a pretty shit feature... If it's not going to be an accurate kill time then its 100% useless.

    It's an accurate time difference between boss kills (including killing trash).

    Yeah, so its not an accurate kill time, just as I said. So its a fairly useless feature.

    So in your *personal* opinion things like live raid races are useless?

    Well, okay.

    In my memory (since Molten Core raid), speed kills have always been about clearing whole raid rather than only boss fighting time.
    It started with things like "Molten Core cleared in 1h 40m" and now it's the same with live raids.

    Yeah imo on a large scale instance clears are pretty useless. In an actual race thats different, but in normal circumstances people afk all the time trash takes much longer then if you're using pots mass pulling etc. A race is not what this information is. Actual boss kills would be a much better feature to have as people actually try nearly always on bosses even if its farm content.

    YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN TIME BY the timestamp of boss #1 and the timestamp of boss #2. Why in the world would they need this feature? The entire point should be how long it takes to down each boss individually. 100% of guilds take breaks, sub in and out members, etc. No one does a speed run as in 10 seconds make a difference when it comes to progression as player comp, gear, etc. is more important. The only time speed runs occur is at events where they include a timed event anyways...

    Not sure why there should be any hate with this, if your interested in boss kill times alone there is world of logs, this on the other hand is fantastic, its giving you a base line for instance clears, would actually be great if a full clear record time was added, obviously it would need to be done in 1 day to get a great clear but guilds will be doing that before long.

    It adds completion, gives a reason for people to pull hard on trash, have more fun on reclears.

    Also it gives a great deal of information about a guild, you can easily use this information to see how well guilds are doing with there clears week after week, its fantastic.

    On a side note, can't wait to see when rankings are added to this.

    Also the new format that shows all the kills is amazing, I've been having to use logs to compare our time on trash and in between bosses but this now just lets me look at the last several kills and the time in one list.

    This is FANTASTIC!!!!

    Unrelated to this but something that you should look at:
    http://www.wowprogress.com/character/eu/twisting-nether/Justmonk
    As you can see there are several 'Justmonks' listed under my character which are NOT mine.
    Quite annoying having them listed as mine? Almost makes me want to set alts and transfers private if not fixed soon.

    Is there no way you could pull world of log data and try to match dates for these kills to get a more accurate kill time per boss?
