Does Illidan flies?

[dudeofwar]

Well I and some friends were discussing about the war3 history of the campaing and well... in the last chapter of TFT after u win u know that theres a fight with Arthas against Illidan.. right so u know when Illidan jumps and opens his wings and after that he gets cutted by Arthas Frostmoune so THERE WE HAVE DISCUSSED FOR SOME DAYS in that part Illidan flies or simply jumps REALLY I think he jumps only but my friends dont understand :roll: if he could fly then he would do so in the game BUT THEY DONT UNDERSTAND DAMN :? so tell me what u think HE DOESNT FLIES and thats what I say its because its obvious...

 

[Mecheon]

He hovers slightly. Because he's a bloody idiot

Flying implies going forward at a speed, hovering is staying still. There's no way that was an ordanary jump, and it wasn't flying, hence I'm staying in the middle and calling it "Hovering"

 

[Kimbo]

yes, blowing winds..lifted illidan making him hover backwards(last time i say the scene)

since illidan was hovering he could not evade arthas's mighty swipe, thus making illidan a...idiot*
once illidan was in the air, the air was hes directional..thing*.

if he was flying, then he'd would have lived(or not gotten hurt if he did live) because he could have dodged arthas.

 

[CyborgCatOfSpinningDoom11]

well, if he wants to fight, he musn't fly. flying/retreating is for cowards.
it's a fantasy world, archers could jump from trees to trees if there would be a movie about warcraft.
or maybe its just there for design.
deers uses their horns for something, for battle, what does illidan uses his horns for? open beer cans?

Infact... There is going to be one.

 

[Ljusdahl]

Oh, so computer games are supposed to make sense now? :lol:

 

[dudeofwar]

Yes I knew he didnt fly but my friends didnt want to admit it well anyways thx for replying I though no one would reply this :lol:

How is that relevant to ANYTHING we just talked about in this WHOLE FOREM!?

 

[Moagrim_of_Draenor]

Lol, Yeah, where the hell did that stuff about archers and trees come from ?

And to answer the question, no I don't think he can fly,hes probably too heavy and if you look at the way humans are shaped compared to , say, birds we're not streamlined at all.

 

[SeaGull1723]

Illidan doesn't fly. If he could, he shouldn't walk on water. =P

 

[Afronight_76]

If illidan can fly, then dreadlords can fly. MISTERIE SOLVED!11

 

[dudeofwar]

Lol yeah I also dreadlords should fly dont u think? :lol: :lol: I never thought that speaking about this... stupidity :lol: would leave some replies thx all and know my friends have to say that he doesnt flies because of all ur replies

 

[Mecheon]

Dreadlords can fly. I have a sneaking suspicion that they used to be able to fly back in beta, because there's a place for a soundset called "HeroDreadlordAlternate", and one of their quotes hints to it as well

But lorewise, they can fly

 

[Kimbo]

in each race in beta, there was a flying hero.
NE:Rides owl
Orc:Farseer on wyvern
Human:im not sure, i think it was a giant eagle
Undeadreadlord

they didnt have them cuz well, they would be too uber,

 

[Gauntlet2021]

I noticed there werent any flying heroes..
The more i hear about the beta, the more i wish i could see it :lol:

 

[SeaGull1723]

I still don't think either Illidan or the Dreadlords fly. But I do know the crazy Japanese can.

[The_Stormrage]

can someone make this beta models??
(exept of NE-->this already exists)
they would look cool

 

[Mecheon]

The human one, to my knowledge, was the Gryphon Rider

Check out the names of its bones. There's a fair few "Hero" ones, which leads me to believe that it was the human flying hero

 

[dudeofwar]

Seagull that video was :lol: and Mecheon I NEVER thought that any hero of any version of warcraft could fly its because... I never saw the beta :roll:

 

[Kimbo]

well heres beta pics.

http://www.planetwarcraft.com/war3/media/screenshots/2000/index.shtml
heres another set, these ones have the flying orc hero and the Ne flying hero
http://www.planetwarcraft.com/war3/media/screenshots/2001/

lol.
offtopic now..

 

[The_Stormrage]

yeah, nic pics
-->beta moels rule

 

[dudeofwar]

Yeah I see now those models look a bit weird but they are cool nice idea The_Stormrage someone should do them

 

[The_Stormrage]

@all, watch and enjoy

 

[dudeofwar]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: lol yeah thx storm now the forum says illidan doesnt flies but THERES A MODEL THAT CAN... OMG well it looks like we are undecided here but still ILLIDAN CANT FLY well at least in the game and in the campaign NO :roll:

 

[The_Stormrage]

i also asked the guy who made flying illidan, if he could make a flying dreadlord model ^^

 

[Mecheon]

Illidan can fly, to my knowledge. He just doesn't fly in the game at all

 

[dudeofwar]

NOOOO he cant, like we said previously he only hovers he cant fly HE CANT well I dont know.. :? :shock: NOPE HE CANT, how does that come that he can fly and how then?? :roll:

 

[The_Stormrage]

1. just in the movie scene he hovers, because the wind caught his wings
2.how he uses his wings?? i think like dreadlords,dragons, etc.
3.look mecheons first quote, he is right, end of story :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Mecheon]

He has wings. Large wings. That, or he uses magic. He's one of Azeroth's most powerful mages, if he wants to fly then he flies, end of story

 

[dudeofwar]

Hey just because u have a quote that means that ur right is not the end of the story PLEASE LETS KEEP DEBATING ABOUT THIS, it has been fun make it the end when........ I dont know but not end it yet PLZ?

 

[Mecheon]

To be blunt, if a Doomguard can fly, then I'm pretty damn sure that Illidan could fly if he needed to

And Doomguards can fly very well

 

[dudeofwar]

Ok now everything that has wings can fly :?: :? Illidan is like an ostrich, it has wings BUT IT CANT FLY :lol: oh cmon and how that comes of the flying doom guard? it doesnt means it can fly just because of having wings like I said previously 8)

 

[Mecheon]

Doom Guards can fly, Natherezium can fly and Ereder can fly. Ereder don't have wings

Therefore, Ereder must fly by magic

Illidan's wings are simular to those of a Natherezium, who can fly. At that, he's the greatest mage Azeroth has seen

Therefore, Illidan is able to fly. Whether by magic or by his wings, Illidan can fly

 

[The_Stormrage]

Ok now everything that has wings can fly :?: :? Illidan is like an ostrich, it has wings BUT IT CANT FLY :lol: oh cmon and how that comes of the flying doom guard? it doesnt means it can fly just because of having wings like I said previously 8)

read the "war of the ancients" books by blizzard, there is WRITTEN that doomguards can fly

so, if such a FAT DEMON CAN FLY, i am sure that illidan can fly too
besides if his wings wouldnt be strong enough, he surely would improve them with magic, so i think everything is discussed and this topic can be closed??
someone who doesnt think so here???

 

[dudeofwar]

ok but but.... oh well I dont know.... its because I NEVER SAW HIM FLY and if u say that stuff from the books, then Im defeated, ok well at least IN THE GAME he cant fly, but by other means yes ok :?: thx for the replies guys at and remember that in game he cant :!: :roll:
