With the launch of
patch 3.2.2, WoW goes retro with the return of Onyxia. As an added bonus, Blizzard threw crippling server lag to truly recreate the complete vanilla WoW patch day experience. Count the minutes go by as you try to release from your corpse, watch an entire instance completely freeze as an item is looted (with it appearing in your backpack ten minutes later) and be able to study the loading screen (with the prominently displayed night elf).
Suffice to say we did manage a 10 man Onyxia run before prime time. Difficulty is on par with the other VoA bosses so expect it to be very puggable. Just don't waste your good roll on the [wowitem]49294[/wowitem] (at least in 10 mans) since it seems to only give 1-3 gems. Definitely not the JC equivalent to the [wowitem]46110[/wowitem] from Freya.
I am a bit saddened they couldn't recreate the disappearing instance freefall. Now that was truly fun! Good times, good times....
