Blizzard's giving old-school World of Warcraft players a little treat later this year. To celebrate the game's fifth anniversary this October, the dev team is planning to revamp the classic Onyxia dragon instance fight.
A blue post on the official World of Warcraft forums tells how the encounter will be bolstered to support both 10-player and 25-player versions, and there are some details on new loot, too.
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 Brood of Onyxia. 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.
The post also notes that players who log into World of Warcraft after the anniversary celebrations begin will automatically receive an Onyxia Brood Whelpling vanity pet.
