Yay for more Argent Coliseum (http://www.wow.com/guide-to-patch-3-2/#coliseum)news! Our European brethren get the lowdown on the Argent Coliseum (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/3p2/coliseum.xml) with a brand new under development page highlighting what is to come from this patch 3.2 (http://www.wow.com/guide-to-patch-3-2/) raid and dungeon instance. As we were already given to believe, it's similar to the Ring of Blood (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9977)/Amphitheater of Anguish (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12948) questlines from BC and WotLK. Also, in order to access the 'hard mode' 10 and 25 man heroic versions of the raids, you apparently first have to defeat the normal mode version.
In the "Heroic" version of the Crusaders' Coliseum, you and your raid only have a limited number of attempts for each raid lockout period, and each time your raid wipes, one of your attempts will be used up. To embark on the epic Trial of the Grand Crusader, you must first prove your worth by clearing either the 10 or 25 player version of the Crusaders' Coliseum's normal mode. After you have dealt the killing blow to the coliseum's final heroic mode boss will you be able to collect the Crusaders' Tribute, and the fewer attempts you needed to complete the Trial of the Grand Crusader, the better your reward will be.
They go on to list the kinds of fights you'll encounter in general terms: while we don't really get any names, we're told the general breakdown will be beasts like magnataurs and jormungar wyrms and poweful Scourge minions of the Lich King. "How the Argent Crusade managed to capture these fiends remains a mystery; what's less mystifying is your fate should you fail to overcome this challenge." I have to admit, I'm very curious about the lore behind these encounters.
If you're looking for more details, scoot on over to the under development section (http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/underdev/3p2/coliseum.xml) and take a look. You can also take a look at the accompanying screenshot of the Argent Coliseum (http://www.wow.com/gallery/adams-wow-gallery/2098624/full/).
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/ah061109patch32swipe.jpgPatch 3.2 will bring about a new 5, 10, and 25 man instance to WoW (http://www.wow.com/guide-to-patch-3-2/#coliseum), and usher in a new 40-man battleground called the Isle of Conquest (http://www.wow.com/guide-to-patch-3-2/#ioc). WoW.com will have you covered every step of the way, from extensive PTR coverage through the official live release.
