Onyxia World First Goes to APES As Well!

Recommended Posts

XIjksMG.jpg
 

As it turns out, Onyxia was the tougher of the two endbosses, strictly due to the attunement process, but APES have come through once again! It took them quite a bit longer than Molten Core to get the quests done, but they have done it as they farmed Upper Blackrock Spire for a long time to gain access to the lair. Onyxia actually resets differently from the bigger raids (in 5 days instead of 7), and they actually got the kill only a couple of hours before EU servers go down, which makes their move to go to MC first pretty risky, but it paid off in the end.


05:10:19

Some 5 hours after the Ragnaros kill, we're still only 5 days out from Classic launch (5 days 7 hours to be exact) and it took almost exactly 10 minutes to down Onyxia after the pull. Fear Ward played a big part of the kill, as in Vanilla, and once again she went down on the second try, twice as hard as Rag!

As a little bonus, here's Monkeynews talking about the earlier bosses in Molten Core on his stream, since we didn't get to see them on-stream:

And of course, huge congratulations to APES from Gehennas EU for getting Classic raiding done before the reset, in just about 5 and a half days!

I fell asleep around 4am with everything on mute and woke up within 1 minute of the kill. I really must have ESP when it comes to boss kills, as this has actually happened before in several raids.

Yeah I suppose fear ward and BoSalvation make onyxia somewhat tank and spank.
Not to mention the sheer number of debuffs available nowadays, I suppose it is no surprise it was so trivial.
Well played.

So as I expected boss are a joke, not gonna play classic anymore tbh..

The real end game of Classic is PvP, hence why most of the APES went with Gnome Warriors and such. PvE with the knowledge we have right now is very, very easy!

I'm more interested in future raids, as MC and Ony were set to their easiest levels from Vanilla.

There should also be way more guilds competing and streaming on next raids, as leveling won't be an issue anymore! ? we are only getting started.

My bet is your going to be disappointed. Any vanilla raid on private servers got cleared on the night of release easily. They even cleared worldbuffs on zoning in. On classic it's going to be exactly the same (gamebreaking bugs aside)

Ye possibly. Which is why I really think a pass at raid difficulty would have been a good idea.

Next time people will have insane gear from all this MC farming (Monkeynews got Onslaught Girdle which is literally bis for DPS Warr on par with Naxx belt) and obliterate even more ?

I find really funny how people are saying that Onyxia is easy. People have been fighting her for over 10 years. And of course the ones that downed her were WoW veterans that really know their stuff.

Onyxia was considered one of the hardest bosses in Vanilla. Heck, there is a reason why the classic "Onyxia Wipe Animation" is so popular.

I'm not saying whether she was or was not hard, but I really don't think that's the big thing of why that was popular. It was just a funny video, and people love to hear people freaking out over things like that.

 

The people saying she's easy are comparing it, and really vanilla raiding in general, to today where we have way more mechanics. So being "one of the hardest bosses in Vanilla" isn't necessarily saying much. It's been said time and time again, but things that made the fights harder was poor connections, poor computers, less general game knowledge. All things that are vastly improved today, so she's going to pose a lot less of a threat now then 15 years ago.

      You can customize your Human and Worgen forms separately in Cataclysm Classic.
      Cataclysm Classic comes with a neat quality of life update which hasn't been included in the game when the expansion originally launched. MrGM discovered you can customize your Worgen and Human forms separately.

      Today's SoD hotfixes bring Hunter and Mage changes, as well as Arathi Basin reputation gear adjustments, and a Wrath Classic fix for certain DoTs affecting players.
      March 12 (Source)
      WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
      Class restrictions on Arathi Basin reputation armor rewards have been lifted on all Classic Era and Season of Discovery realms. Fixed a bug causing Blood for the Blood Loa stacks to not be exchanged when the battle is not active. Hunter Steady Shot damage increased to 75% weapon damage (was 60%). Rune of the Trapper icon should no longer be a question mark. Mage Living Flame movement speed adjusted to 86% of normal player movement speed (was 100%). Living Flame duration reduced 10 seconds (was 20 seconds) Living Flame cooldown reduced to 30 seconds (was 60 seconds). Wrath of the Lich King Classic
      Fixed an issue with Piercing Shots, Deep Wounds, and Ignite that causes them to sometimes do too much damage to players.

      Four years ago, Blizzard decided to remove the word "b****" along with its audio sound from the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas. But now, it's made a comeback in Cataclysm Classic!

      The initial decision to cut the word came after Steve Dansuer, the then Lead Narrative Designer, received feedback from a team member who overheard the voice line while playing the game with his child.
      Steve agreed that removing the word didn't detract from Garrosh's message and went ahead with the edit.
      Placeholder for tweet 1298728022653075456 Now, with Cataclysm Classic, players have noticed the line's return, which isn't surprising since it was originally included in Cataclysm. You can check out the entire dialogue, thanks to N_Tys26.
      Placeholder for tweet 1766198235700580807 It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will decide to remove the line once more. Given WoW's ESRB rating of "T" for Teen, what are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions in the comments below.

      Blizzard will be removing the class requirements from Arathi basic reputation rewards. The change is coming in the next few days and will affect both Season of Discovery and Classic Era. 
      Arathi Basin Sets (Source)
      Greetings,
      We’ve seen a lot of feedback and comments recently on the Arathi Basin reputation rewards, and we wanted to let you know about a change that is coming sometime within the next few days to live realms via hotfix.
      We are going to go ahead and remove the class restrictions from Arathi Basin reputation reward 3-piece armor sets. We’ve read your feedback around this issue and we largely agree that these restrictions are fairly arbitrary and felt like this would be a good change for the game overall to allow for a bit more flexibility in PvP gearing.
      We also wanted to point out that this adjustment will also extend to WoW Classic Era realms. In discussing whether we should keep this as a Season-only change or extend it to Era, we felt that this would be strictly additive to the experience of those playing on Era realms as well.
      We appreciate the feedback we’ve received on this issue so far. Thank you and have a great weekend!
      -The WoW Classic Dev Team
