New raid for wow's 5 year aniversary

Looks like we get to party with onyxia again after 3.2.2

She 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!

MORE DOTS!!!

Near 40%: "STOP DOTS NO MORE DOTS!!!"
Bit of nostalgy is fine, but new bosses would be cool as well tongue

At least we can ride around on onyxia if we get the mount.

Haha, I so want to do this "old" way. Fuck "fitting in modern raiding", imo.

Give back those times when 40 players did their job while RL yelling in ventrilo, along with michappy-people (Namino&Eilwen co. with super cool mics):

For anyone thinking of whining about this; remember it wasn't supposed to be any major content patch, this is just a nice throwback to WoW past, a bonus for the fans. I don't see the problem? Personally I can't wait to do Ony again in a "legit" way, perhaps even spiced up a bit.

Lol zenghu, that movie is awesome big_smile

Btw, I agree with Insu here, it's not like it's to replace Coliseum or Ulduar, it's just fun to play it again I think!
