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

Its very annoying seeing people not paying attention to the numbers on the patch...

3.2.2

NOT 3.3

For those of you who don't know

xx(This is the xpac number).xx(This is the major content patch, usually new raids).xx(This is a minor content patch, usually reserved for class tweaks and changes.)

Tada

Now shut up about the remaking of old raids and enjoy being carried in a fight you don't know.Comment by 359074This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by twinkinshammyPTR 3.2.2 is up! Go test out the new Onyxia with your premade full in T9 80's!Comment by 430541This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by ultralarsLorewise, let's just say that Onyxia has garnered a tremendous amount of experience from past battles.Comment by 366971This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by muyaalSo if every class gets their own T2 head piece upgraded, does that mean us poor DK's aren't gonna get one? Not meaning to QQ, just wondering if anybody has any ideas or knows.

Also, you people yelling at other people for QQing about how they can't run it on their 60 twinks and how they are missing out on 2/3 of the content, some people find that part more fun. Don't preach about how they are doing this to add fun when for some people its fun to just gear up a twink and play at only 1/3 of the content.Comment by InterestHopefully the pet is BoA And has more than 1 charge like the Baby Blizzard BearComment by justincHopefully the pet is BoA And has more than 1 charge like the Baby Blizzard BearComment by 212003This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by JenghisI still want to know how there bringing her back...Didn't we lob her head off. If they make it a caverns of time thing like all the rest it would just be plan weird... Blizzard is getting lazy at there content.. Ive noticed this...

Other than that, this so-called new content is Blizzard's worst idea since Badges of Justice.Comment by StrafeShadeCool, Dustwallow was merely a setback! And btw when exactly is wow anniversary?Comment by breugerIs Blizzard really getting too lazy to make new content? First Naxx, now Onyxia... what's next... a scaling Karazhan?

I would rather see them put some new bosses into the Obsidian Sanctum.Comment by 234533This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by doublediamond410
