It's probably a good thing I stopped playing when the Beta ended. That game is like crack.

Ha how did I know it wouldn't be the US servers that killed her first? A group did get her down to about 20% a few days ago though.

if you really want to know it is a raid boss that no one has killed prior to this

raids are limited to 40 players and the closest i have heard anyone has gotten before (in the US) was down to 20% life

Because he/she/it is very powerful and hard to kill, maybe?

" Onyxia's Lair issues where people could stand and be out of combat. THere was also another issue dealing with the transition phases while battling here. This have since been fixed (NOTE AFTER THE KOREANS BEAT HER). In otehrwords, they beat a "bugged" version on the encounter.

In most people's books Onyxia officially won't be beaten until a team using the US servers beats her. This is due to the facts that a) Everyone had the same amount of time to level their characters (2 months) and b) The event is bug free. Onyxia will fall soon, within a few weeks. Several guilds have been raiding her lair experimenting with different tactics, and thus far they have gotten her down to 8% health."

There is word out that they used some exploits and illegal bots to take Onyxia down, not to mention the encounter is 'broken' according to Blizzard.

Americans have jobs.

I would have thought the unemployed welfare euros would do it first.

The Korean retail version only started a little more than a week ago (on 1/18). So that means they got to level 60, ran the insane prereq quests to get a key to her lair, and beat her in 10 days.

There's like 12 quests before you can get a key to the lair - one of them involves running an instance (in a 5 man group) to get an item you need to make a key. The instance only drops 1 of the item per group, so you have to run it 40 times to get enough for a while raid party. I've heard the instance takes 2-3 hours, so even at the minimum, that's 80 hours right there.

They HAD to be botting and/or exploiting low-hp mobs (there are unfinished areas that are difficult to get to but have Elite mobs with 10hp that give regular XP for their level).

Edit: Ohh - apparently they didn't do a character wipe from beta-->retail for Korea, so they could have been at the cap when it launched

wow thats so amazing, such an acheivement, as a matter of fact you should put that on your resume, that you got onyxia down to 20% health because its soo awesome.

Anyway my guess is that it won't happen since no one has any teamwork whatsoever online.
