The Return of Onyxia?

Neti's picture

A bit unexpected patch 3.2.2 will not deploy in November, as previously announced, but *tomorrow*. This could mean that the fabled return of Onyxia will happen this week O_O

So if and when that happens I will shift our regular raiding program with one week to make room for some Onyxia raids. Instead of Ulduar (1 of 2) on Thursday and Ulduar (2 of 2) on Monday we will have two Onyxia runs instead. As Onyxia seems to be a T9-level raid, our normal UIL priority rules will apply. Players with the highest UIL priority can go on Thursday, the remaining players can go on Monday. Players who have more than one character can go twice, provided there's still room in the groups.

The above only applies if we can actually raid Onyxia ofcourse. If not, then we will be normally raiding Ulduar this week.

Stay tuned for updates!

It didnt escape my knowledge

It didnt escape my knowledge that we failed to have enough interest in Ulduar to even get a raid going recently (and on more than one occasion), but we got 14 sign-ups for ToC (10) with others whispering me who werent even signed up for ToC (10) that they were available if needed!

I only mention this because if people are avoiding Ulduar like the plague, using the UIL for sign-ups for other raids (such as ToC 10 and any Onyxia raid we do) seems just a bit unfair on those who are still willing to put an effort in with Ulduar to get the place cleared and moving on to heroic modes.

Edit:- in summary, lol - is it not worth considering another list for Ony and ToC (10) combined? I kinda think the new content perhaps warrants it and there is probably further instances down the line we could use it for before the next xpac, I bet you.

Yes I've been thinking about

Yes I've been thinking about having two lists, but I first want to wait and see how difficult the Ony and ToC (10) fights are compared to Ulduar. At least for the upcoming week and probably for the week after that we will stick to the UIL, after that it's up to what seems best.

I think Ony's level of

I think Ony's level of difficulty is on par with ToC 10 from what I have read (dont read if you want a few surprises, although tbh the event is a near duplicate of the one that has been around for years lol) [rant]http://www.wowhead.com/?blog=122178[/rant] and that ToC 10 is a step up from Ulduar 10 (but remember gear has been available beyond Ulduar 10 level from badge rewards)
