Quote from: Zarhym

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!

Ich vermute mal da werden sie außerdem weitere Vorarbeite für 3.3 leisten. Mobilmachung, Belagerung gegen Eiskrone wäre ja n Hit.
Stellt sich allerdings die Frage, wann 3.3 tatsächlich kommt, wenn das im November nachgeschoben wird.

whelps... many whelps... handle it... NOW!

Neue Items und alte Items mit aufgewerteten Stats
310% Speed Drache im Onyxia Design
Onyxia Drachenjunges Pet
Deep Breath

Oh, das wird toll ... ich freu mich schon!


Ich denke nicht, dass Ony erst im November kommen wird. Da ist zwar das 5-year anniversary event, aber der Patch wird sicherlich früher live gehen.

Ganz interessant auch ... as part of our big plans for the upcoming 3.2.2 content patch. Ony ist also nur ein Teil der "großen Pläne". Da munkelt der Woifal schon ganz gut - es wird was passieren.

Sollte das alles erst im November kommen ... auch dann passt es zum Zeitplan 3.3 im Dezember. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass mit 3.2.2 auch die neue 5er TdM like Instanz kommt und schon einen ersten Schritt in die Eiskronenzitadelle wagen wird.

Ich freu mich wie ein Lich ... ähhh, Schneekönig - der Onyxia Relaunch ist eine tolle Sache.

Ich hab das so vestanden, dass Onyxia quasi ein Geburtstagsgeschenk wird, dann wäre ein Start zum Geburtstag erst im November schon irgendwie logisch. Was ja nicht heißen muss, dass 3.2.2 nicht auch schon vorher kommen kann.

Ilke, das ist mal wieder typisch Blizzard. Da schreiben sie, der Ony und Patch 3.2.2 Testserver wird "soon" online gehen, und dann schreiben sie, die Jahresfeier startet im November. Hier weiss man nun wirklich absolut nicht, was da wie zusammen hängt ^^

Auf der BlizzCon gibt es sicher mehr Infos, im Anschluss startet der PTR, und wie nun der Zeitplan ausschaut ... naja, der ist verschlossen im Schreibtisch von Mike Morhaime ^^

Mal logisch betrachtet ... PTR Mitte September - live Patch Ende Oktober. So oder so passt es ^^

Woohoo, gerade auf dem Testserver gelandet:

Inscription

* Runescroll of Stamina - Snowfall Ink, Resilient Parchment x 5 - Increases Stamina by 165 for all party and raid members for 1 hr.


Leatherworking

* Drums of Forgotten Kings - Heavy Borean Leather x 8, Icy Dragonscale x 8 - Gives all members of the raid or group the Blessing of Forgotten Kings, increasing total stats by 8% for 30 min.
* Drums of the Wild - Heavy Borean Leather x 4, Jormungar Scale x 20 - Gives the Gift of the Wild to all party and raid members, increasing armor by 750, all attributes by 37 and all resistances by 54 for 1 hr.


Sie hatten das auf der Blizzcon angesprochen, ich hätte aber nicht so schnell damit gerechnet...

Nun hoffe ich nur noch, dass das wieder wie bei früheren Trommeln für 50 ... oder zumindest mal 20 Aufladungen gilt und nicht für eine, dann wäre es nämlich unerfreulich teuer...

das is doch eh nur für gruppenintressant die keinen pala, drui oder priester in gruppe haben. da es die gleichen buffs sind, stacken die eh nicht. tun jetztige schriftrollen ja auch nicht

Klar, ich finds trotzdem klasse. Die anderen Buffs, (Int, Wille) werden denke ich noch folgen. Und wie oft haben wir im 10er keinen Magier dabei? Letztens hatten wir keinen Pala, gerade für Hardmodes finde ich es klasse, dass man sich die Buffs trotzdem besorgen kann.

Freue mich schon auf die Kampfrausch-Schriftrolle.

Mir gefällt das ganz und gar nicht. Ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung Klasseneinheitsbrei.

Ole, oder eine Anregen Schriftrolle ... will ich^^

Blizzard hat schon in BC das Buffsystem stark verändert und "vereinfacht". Dies hier ist nun ein weiterer Schritt in Sachen "bring the player not the class".

Ich finde z.B. das Buffsystem vom Pala noch immer total chaotisch. Hat man dann 3-4 Palas im Raid, braucht es erstmal 15min, bis diese aufgeteilt wurden und sich abgesprochen haben. Ohne PallyPower wird ein Pala im Raid eh nicht mitgenommen und kann auch oft nicht gescheit buffen. Irgend ein Palabuff fehlt dann immer, und es dauert wieder etliche Minuten, bis jeder zufrieden ist.

Das Buffsystem ist natürlich wichtig, denn es entscheidet oft, ob bei schwierigen Herausforderungen (z.B. Hardmodes, Timeruns, usw) die Gruppe optimale Voraussetzungen hat. Es darf aber nicht sein, dass hier Gruppen scheitern, weil ihnen z.B. ein Buff fehlt.

Das mit den Paladinen versteh ich nicht ganz. Jeder vergisst mal Buffs und sofern sich die Paladine gezielt absprechen sollte auch klar sein, wer wen und was bufft. Egal, ob mit oder ohne PallyPower. Gerade ab 3 Paladin wirds eh egal, weil dann jeder jeden Buff kriegt.

Aber auch Druiden, Priester und Magier vergessen gerne mal die Buffs...

Naja, ich finde halt, dass die Palabuffs rech chaotisch funktionieren. Oft eine kurze Laufzeit, dann minutenlange Absprachen vor dem Raid, wer nun was bufft und wer was in PallyPower einstellt. Das Buff System sollte hier vereinfacht werden, und das wird es ja auch langfristig. Aber das ist meine Meinung und hat ja mit den aktuellen Änderungen nichts zu tun ^^

Die neuen Möglichkeiten betrachte ich sehr positiv. Es ist sicher nicht ein Einheitsbrei, denn nicht jede Klasse kann alles buffen. Wenn aber mal was fehlt, wird man es über Trommeln und Schriftrollen ausgleichen können. Das finde ich ganz praktisch, denn so rücken auch die Berufe wieder in den Vordergrund.

Auf dem PTR gibt es nun eine Quest, bei der man den Ony Kopf abgeben kann und mit einer Melee Halskette, einem Caster Ring oder einem Tank Schmuckstück belohnt wird. Die Items sind ganz ordentlich und haben ItemLvl. 245. Den Kopf bekommt man in der 10er und 25er Version.

Ebenfalls gibt es eine Reihe Ony Achievements.
- Defeat Onyxia in less than 5 minutes (10er, 25er)
- Cause 50 Onyxia Whelplings to hatch within 10 seconds of Onyxia's liftoff (10er, 25er)
- Defeat Onyxia without anyone taking damage from a Deep Breath (10er, 25er)

Weiterhin gibt es viele kleinere Klassenänderungen und neue Items für Berufe. Auch sind neue Pets geplant ... z.B. einen Kernhund, einen Tiger, einen Mini Kel'Thuzad und ... öhööö? einen Pandaren Mönch!

Laut gamona liegt der Pandare auch als komplett animiertes NPC-Modell vor. Möglicherweise bahnen sich also Pandaren den Weg als NPCs ins WoW-Universum. Expansion 4 dann mit neuer Klasse und Expansion 5 mit Pandaren als spielbarer Rasse - so ca. Juni 2013.

Die blöde Halskette für Caster hat wieder Weisheit mit drauf. Ein richtig dämlicher Statt für einige Klassen

Armorpen Nerf in 3.2.2:

Ghostcrawler (Source)
The nerf to armor pen in 3.2.2 is intentional. Compared to the recent buff where we increased the value of armor rating to 125%, this nerf would take it back down to 110%. While we are still evaluating the effects of this change in the 3.2.2 build, we did want to let you know of the possibility in case you were about to spend a lot on armor pen gems.

In fact, this was really the point. Several melee specs (and Marksman hunters) had begun to focus on armor pen at the expense of all other stats. Gear without armor pen was being passed over and gem sockets were increasingly being filled with just this one stat. While every spec has stats that are more valuable than others, this one felt like it was starting to trump everything. Not coincidentally, characters stacking lots of armor pen were starting to do more damage than their peers and more damage than we were comfortable with.

This change is largely for PvE reasons, though we won't cry at all if melee damage in PvP drops a little as a result.

We're letting you know now so that this doesn't feel like a stealth nerf, assuming it goes live. While you might disagree or be frustrated by the change (though I also suspect it won't come as a surprise to many players), we ask that you try and keep your response to something appropriate for these forums.

Damit kann dann Ilke quasi alle Standardbuffs casten. Wille fehlt.

hmm wieso reduzieren die die Aggro des Tankpalas ? Muss man langsam nimmer verstehen.
