The Return of Onyxia—Patch 3.2.2

posted 2009/08/12 at 11:14 PM by MasterOfDisguise

Onyxia

Converting Onyxia's Lair into a level 80 raid, with both 10 and 25 man modes.

Changing the current loot to par with its level 60 version to a level 80 version. Presumably, there will be a loot table for both 10 and 25 man modes.

Adding a flying mount with 310% flying speed named Reins of the Onyxian Drake to the loot table. Modeled after Onyxia itself, the mount is expected to have a low drop rate.

Changing to the level of difficulty so that it scales from its difficulty at level 60 to level 80. This means those who enjoyed Onyxia's challenge should not see a change in difficulty—essentially, it just scales up to level 80!

Baby Blizzard BearShe has lurked in her lair and done battle with the many brave adventurers who travelled to that familiar location over the years. Now, in honor of the World of Warcraft 5-year anniversary, the dreaded brood mother Onyxia is being revamped to make a return to the forefront of Azeroth, as part of our big plans for the upcoming 3.2.2 content patch.

This permanent update to Onyxia will convert the dungeon into 10- and 25-player modes. We will be adding new items to Onyxia’s loot table that have the same model as some of the classic loot from this dungeon, like Tier 2 helms, with stats updated to match the current level of content. There will be a special new item too: a normal drake-sized 310% speed flying mount modeled after Onyxia herself called an Onyxia Broodling. We will also be updating the encounter mechanics to be more fitting for modern raiding, but we can guarantee players will get to experience the frightening horror of deep breaths once again.

Then for a limited time, after the 5-year anniversary event officially begins in November, anybody who logs in will receive an Onyxia Brood Whelpling pet.

We’re very excited to bring this classic encounter back to provide a fun new experience for both new and veteran players. Further details will be available in the near future, and we will be setting up the Public Test Realms soon to help test out this fight along with all the new content we have planned for the patch. Keep an eye on the forums for updates! http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=19110028331&sid=1

Lazy Design.

Yet another old dungeon which is gonna get reused and most likely also butchered.
Guess that Blackwing Lair will be next so that people can get their full set Tier 2 copy with better stats.
Not that it was impossible to level up a toon to 60 and go do Zul'Gurub, Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, Blackwing Lair and so on. A big fuss about nothing and wasted design time.
Make a New Dungeon (5man, 10man or 25man don't matter that much) and we can begin talking.

Wait, what about those people that still want to fight the regular Onixya? And what level gear will this require?Comment by 109170This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 180082This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Morec0I'm just wondering what was going to happen to the old content part of the dungeon.
