Patch 3.0.2 and Naxx - Blue Tracker

#0 - Aug. 27, 2008, 1:15 p.m.

According to blue posts on EU and US forums, patch 3.0.2 will soon be on the ptr. Obviously the ptr might be up for a while, and I'm assuming it will be up for a while considering it is going to be implementing a lot of the WotLK changes and introductions.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned by blues is the position on Naxxramas in 3.0.2. If it is to implement WotLK content, then presumably Naxxramas will no longer exist in EPL and will be moved to Northrend. However, since WotLK hasn't officially been released, it should also stay in EPL.

I know this isn't of significance to many, but our server is currently running Naxx pugs on a weekly basis, with one player currently owning 31 Splinters of Atiesh.

If the patch moves Naxxramas, it will surely mean he is incapable of collecting the rest of the splinters. Will C'thun still drop the base if you are on that part of the quest, when Kel'thuzad will no longer be reachable for the head?

This is not a question of what do Blizzard have planned for Atiesh in WotLK, cuz quite frankly, I don't care. We have been doing Naxxramas pugs on our server for three goals in mind really :

1. To experience the lvl 60 version as many didn't get the chance.
2. To obtain Tier 3 and Sapphiron shoulder enchants etc before they are no longer possible to gain.
3. For one of the raid leaders to finish his goal of acquiring Atiesh.

This post is simply to ask if it will still exist in patch 3.0.2 and whatnot. We have our own reasons for doing the pugs, so please do not spam this thread with "lol naxx is so 2006" and other useless flames, we don't care. And yes, the Splinter holder is a lore nerd ;p.

Thank you in advance for any positive responses that are posted.

Where Naxxramas will or won't be is not something I can reveal right now, sorry. So you'll just need to wait and see :-) If you're unsure and still wanting to try out Naxxramas 60, then right now while you can definitely still see it looks like a pretty good time.

Q u o t e:
Didnt you state Naxx will be a 10 man raid instance?

It is in Wrath of the Lich King, but also 25 man too. However, if you read the original post, it is asking about the pre-Wrath content patch which we announced yesterday. And for Naxx's location in that, I have no news to report right now.

Q u o t e:
One thing that still puzzles us though - If my friend were to get his last splinters and start the quest for the head and the base, and if he were to obtain the head form Kel, would he still need to kill C'thun for the base before Naxx is moved? What I am trying to ask is, will the quest still exist for those that are on it, or are you planning on removing the quest completely since Naxx won't be there to gather the splinters in order to start the quest.

I really would have no idea what would happen here -- it's a very specific question. It might be that it could be completed in Naxx 80, or it might be that the quest just couldn't be completed or might even be removed. However, this is purely guesswork as I unfortunately don't have anything at hand that'd answer such a specific question.

I wish you the best of luck in your Naxxramas adventures :-)
