September 22nd 2009, patch 3.2.2 was released. With this patch came the reincarnation of the Brood Mother, Onyxia. This offered a brand new raid with brand new loot. This patch was much awaited for by many, and what was there not to wait for? The reproduction of a long lost raid is always something to be thrilled for.





















It is now October 29th and patch 3.3 is just around the corner waiting to be thrown at us. Patch 3.3, similar to patch 3.2, brings us a brand new raid (Icecrown Citadel), along with three new heroics. Now for those of us that like to raid, but are not of the class of elite raid junkies, we may need some more time to get more gear before taking on the Lich King's throne. And for those players of the Lore class, maybe they have not been giving the proper amount of time to explore the background of the new Ony encounter before jumping straight into the last major fight of WOTLK.

Patch 3.3 is also tagged as the last major patch of WOTLK, what does this mean? After this last patch there will be a very small chance that Blizzard will release any more big raids, heroics, or anything of the sort. And if what they are saying is true and Cataclysm is not going to be released till sometime in 2010, what are they going to do with that four/five month gap?






I leave the rest up to you. Leave a comment explaining how you feel on the release for patch 3.3, or even the way Blizzard released Wotlk in general.

[PinkiPan]

when is 3.3 i heard its ages away

[Casperx]

Probably still more than 1 month till its released, and I'm sure it'll take a while before hardmodes are clearedso youve got yourself something to do there.

>.< 3.3 is not the last patch.

.... the last major patch..
Meaning that this will most likely be the last patch that will release new content (Raids, heroics, etc.)

[earthFlower]

patch 3.3 is not around the corner, still months back.

[[xRyan123]]

Most predictions on the current release date put it into early December, ~1month away, that is relatively soon.

[xsx]

at the rate that the testing is going i dont think its gonna take that long ... more like 2-4 weeks TOPS and when 3.3 is actualy coming live ... we will get like 4-6 months to play whit it .... so by then its gonna be mid-summer 2010 ... and by the next blizzcon we will see people QQ about goblin rogues.

Wait.. What? I'm not going to find Ghostcrawlers quote but it was almost exactly like this:

Q: Why is Onyxia coming back? What is the story behind this?
A (by GC): In lore she is dead, in lore she ain't here. We just revamped her as a celebration for the birthday of World of Warcraft.

um... what?

3.3 can't come soon enough for me. I'm REALLY looking forward to that new cross-realm LFG system. The Alliance side of my realm is severely depopulated. No PuGs ever take place and it's damn near impossible to get lower level instances like BRD done.

[Aldun]

um... what?

What part dont you understand of me saying what GC said?
