Folks who played back in the day, often tell me how awesome the Onyxia run was for its difficulty. I of course never was never able to fully understand this, because when my WoW career started, she became a simple foot note. In fact, the other night, we went in and beat the tar out of her with 3 toons. However, she’s coming back bigger and badder than ever according to a recent release from Blizz! WoW.com covers the whole story on their site. This is to mark World of Warcraft’s five year anniversary. The details are pretty basic:
- The battle will get re-worked to challenge the mechanics of today’s playstyle.
- There will be a new 10man and 25man run of the lair.
- Also the previous ‘Leet’ gear that was simply Tier 2 will be re-worked into an updated model similar to the old Tier two gear in look, with upgraded stats to reflect the item levels we see today.
So, this is pretty cool. We have often said on the podcast it would be great for them to come back to the Vanilla content and update it to the the present in a new and fun way. This is almost exactly what we had in mind. It is almost as if they are listening to our show. Hmmmmm.
What do you guys think?
