Are World Firsts Really Legitimate?

Ch4mpTW

After the most recent "world first" that was posted, I'm really starting to question the legitimacy of it all. I'm also not impressed. Why you ask? Because often times than not, the people who have gotten the content complete had their hands on it long before 2 other platforms did. Plus, they had early access via the PTR to work on it. Throw in the fact that the most recent installment had private beta access, and it kinda is like the folks who had obtained "world firsts" were cherry picked for it.

What are you all's opinions on it? I'm curious.

I don't care, since I am far from that lvl of play. Kudos to them and that's it.

I could care less who's world's first on anything really. And if you ask me in a few months who was world's first to complete the last trial, my answer will be the same as if you asked me right now who was world's first to complete the world's first ESO trial. I have no clue nor do I care. Don't worry about it and enjoy your game.

I´m impressed with their achievement (I assume you´re talking about Hodor Speedrun post from yesterday). If they feel happy about Writing "Worlds first" then I can give them that joy . Me personally doesn´t really care, just waiting for the videos of them doing vHoF xD so I can learn something about the veteran version xD

Still, the practice and dedication those people are putting into this is impressive, I wont be able to sit in a trial like 7-8 hours each day to get that kinda results, so no matter if they have had access for 2 months before it on PTS, they deserve the reoknations of their hard work.

The thing is also, some of the people from Hodor, is helping tons of people with builds and such, on youtube, websites and such, which is hugely appreciated by the common folks

I could agree with that. And of course a congratulations is definitely in order for them.

Completing the game's new hardest content hours after it went live - the cursor is somewhere between serious dedication and utter farcical disaster.

The first Warden to become a GO - now that's a race I'm more interested in. Sort of.

Definitely. That would certainly be impressive. Or the first Warden Master Angler.

It doesnt matter who was first, thats a childish endeavor. What only matters is the accomplishment itself. They completed the time trial? Cool. They completed the time trial first? So?

I'm officially the world's first person to not have given a single f*** about any of this ever in his life. Howboutda?

I see what you did there.

Who actually cares about stuff like this other than the people that run it? Same with leaderboards, I didn't even know there was any for ages and I certainly never look at them. Grats and all that but yeah, whatever.

For everyone interested It's "world's first PC" or "world's first PS4" etc. The same applies to the later-existing first hardmodes/nodeaths/tick-tock terrorizers etc. Think twice. Thanks.

Exactly

If end game PvE trials is what they do then well done, I've done a few trail training on Normal mode and not got used to some of the mechanics so to do it on Vet and under a certain time does take skill and time put into it

Feeling the need to make a posting with a "Worlds first" in the title just seems odd to me in general. It sorta smells like behaviour we encountered way back in Kindergarden. I have since grown out of that sort of mentality . Just leave the "World" out of it. The world doesn't care . If 8 Billion people would actually play ESO and compete to get it done....well maybe then the title would be correct.

And how about mixing these things with a little bit of humor? Like "Worlds first trial cleared with Wardens and Bears only". Or clearing a trial with 12 Nords or Woodelves instead of the usual min-maxing that goes on and on and on and on ;-)

Huyen

They are the first that post it on the forums. If they are really the first group to complete it? Doubt it.

Gaggin

I do agree with you on the private beta part. Giving some guilds access to new competitive content before others is ***, but that's not Hodor's fault(its ZOS's), they're still the best and deserve the credit.

Why is this thread even needed? If people like to boast about their achievement, let them. Seriously, who cares? People who get annoyed over it or judge it for being not legitimate, must look to themselves for where the real issue lies.

true that. I guess op was just triggered by this.

Good that they completed the achievement. Not when they've probably had access on PTS to practice a lot, it's just grandstanding.

Knootewoot

Nobody cares about world's first achievements. I don't care about regular achievements also.

colig

It's a good personal achievement for them. That thread has seriously gone wayward though.
