Illidan's last words: "Illidan Stormrage yells: You have won... Maiev. But the huntress... is nothing without the hunt. You... are nothing... without me."

If Blizzard wants to they could probably bring him back at any time giving some lame explanation why he is back or resurecting him or some lame shit like that.

 

[Daminon]

I don't care about the wc story but I hope Illidan vanish forever. He's the most boring character and not cool at all. I just wished that I would never have to see him again after the night elf mission in the original campaign.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Haha I actually agree, I don't get the big Illidan hype either, never cared much for him.

 

[The Last Istari]

And with that, the chances of a WC4 is shot out the window.

Why does it say I'm offline when I am clearly not?

 

[anetherond]

I don't think blizzard will return him back, they have plenty other subjects they can develop.
I actually like Illidan character, I think he is fascinating.

 

[Kimbo]

Hmm..he seems rather big for an "Illidan"

 

[Cavman]

Hmmm, interesting.....

 

[wugiboy]

So he is killed in WOW? does that mean he is dead on the story or he is dead in game?

 

[anetherond]

Dead in game of course.

[SeaGull1723]

Clearly expected from a high end game guild. Feel free to make sluggish comments on how they have no life, but realize they're being sponsored with the gold and time to do this.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

So he is killed in WOW? does that mean he is dead on the story or he is dead in game?

who the f**k knows anymore....blizzard probably dont even know where they are headed with the story. it probably gunna turn out that WoW is just Arthas's dream or something equally lame.

 

[brad.dude03]

Uh... the guild just finished him. Whoopdee doo. He'll respawn shortly. Just liek Kel'Thuzad or the Firelord or any other boss that really shouldn't be killed, Illidan will be back again. This is just the first guild out there to defeat him.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Still waiting for a video.

Hell, it's about time.

 

[Pyritie]

My friend who plays wow too much says that all of the bosses just have unlimited soulstones (an item that does reincarnation)

 

[brad.dude03]

Your friend is an idiot. I know what a soulstone is, and that's absolutely rediculous. If that's your friend in denial trying to make things work, how then, would they all have an unlimited number of soulstones? Where in Azeroth or Outland could Illidan possibly find an unlimited supply of soulstones? Exactly.

Every boss in the game is ressurected, like every other NPC in the game, after they die so that they can be killed again and again and again to appease the masses.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

thats correct, the basic mechanics of the game allows bosses to be automatically ressurected. its nothing to do with sould stones, its just the coding of the game. i did read somewhere however that the NPCs in WoW are all actually made with the same system as players are, i.e. gear, weapons, rings/trinkets. supposedly blizzard makes the npc model then gives it all the gear and sets the npc's level really high. then a multiplier of damage/hp/mana is used for bosses, elites, rares etc. this was supposedly done to save coding time and (ROM) space because making npc's have a totally different system would take ages to code, be more likely to bug and a bit of a waste. basically what it means is, when you fight illadin, you are really fighting a level 255 character with leet gear and 2x or 3x damage/hp/mana. how true this is i dunno.

I know not literally, we both know that the game resses them, we're not idiots, he just said that as some random quick explanation to how they keep getting ressed RP-wise.

He's an RPer.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Its just turning in a project bound to make as much money as possible..

 

[Jacek]

games are usually made to make money

 

[Kwaliti]

One thing stupid about WoW is the insane killing; kill him, kill her, end him, end it, bla, bla, bla, WHY CAN'T ANYONE SURVIVE! In the end of Warcraft saga everyone will be dead! And Warcraft will be utterly boring.

 

[Pyritie]

But then they'll just invent new characters for wc4!

Like at the beginning at wc3, there were next to no characters left from wc2. So what did blizz do? Create tons of new ones! ^_^

 

[Jacek]

don't worry

blizzard puts backdoors when killing main characters:

Kel'Thuzad is the last encounter of the dungeon Naxxramas, implemented in the patch 1.11. He is ultimately defeated by the players, but does not die. As a lich, he may reform using a part of his former self (the part of his "soul") kept in a magic item known as a phylactery. Should the phylactery be destroyed, Kel'Thuzad would be defeated forever. But some things do not happen as they should...

The quest "The Fall of Kel'Thuzad" describes how the player, who likely wanted to destroy the phylactery, is manipulated by some mental force to give the phylactery to Father Inigo Montoy in Light's Hope Chapel. Something very unusual is going on here, and the Argent Dawn reports that the phylactery did not reach their hands...

 

[GST_Nemisis]

actually thats one thing about the warcraft world, blizzard can do what they want with it because by the time they relese the next game it will be completely different. i think it might have been a better idea for them to set WoW 500 years before/after wc3 and just make a brand new plot, still its too late now.

 

[The Last Istari]

There is no WC4 coming, The RTS version of the Warcraft stories relied heavily on the storyline (at least in my view.) and with the storyline butchered to hell and back. There's no chance for a WC4.

 

[Pyritie]

It's a shame the management at blizzard changed after wc3 came out - some guy who used to work for everquest. That's how wow started.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

There is no WC4 coming, The RTS version of the Warcraft stories relied heavily on the storyline (at least in my view.) and with the storyline butchered to hell and back. There's no chance for a WC4.

no what i mean is, they could make wc4 500 years after wc3 or 500 years before it and make up a completely new story with new heros and stuff. obviously they would have to explain a few things, but if SW:KOTOR did it, why cant WC?

 

[Mecheon]

So when they release a Warcraft 4 can I laugh? Especially if it still follows the storyline and you're making up all of this butchering?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

oooohhh hey check this out

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter6.html

i know its WoW but still, its something.

 

[Daminon]

I would gladly had Illidan removed from wc3 and more focus on Arthas instead.

 

[Skudgemuffin]

oooohhh hey check this out

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter6.html

i know its WoW but still, its something.

WoW is going to turn into a futuristic game

 

[GST_Nemisis]

your right!!! SC2 is WC3 in the future! SC2 is WC4!!!!

 

[Teh_Ephy]

What Blizzard should really do is manage to tie all the games together. They have that big scary universe, they've tied Diablo to Warcraft already, and they had hidden SC models in WC3. Methinks we should start waiting on that.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

how are diablo and wc tied? i have never played diablo so i didnt knwo this.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Take a look at Wirt's Leg and Wirt's Other Leg items in the editor.

 

[Kwaliti]

lol anyone seen the 2027 WoW? It's called WoW 3: The Diablo Dungeons, it's on some site which i dont remember, and there are tons of stuff, like PS5!

 

[Pyritie]

I would gladly had Illidan removed from wc3 and more focus on Arthas instead.

New Icecrown Citadel! Battle your way through hordes of undead in order to beat Arthas' minions, and eventually, Arthas himself! (40-man raid, requires level 100, bosses drop tier 10 raid loot)

 

[The Last Istari]

So when they release a Warcraft 4 can I laugh? Especially if it still follows the storyline and you're making up all of this butchering?

If you guess it right and they somehow repair the storyline, I'll put "I am Mecheon's bitch." in my sig.

 

[Pyritie]

Ooooo I smell a bet!

 

[The_Taxidermist]

Was this Illidan A Dev controlled character account, or an NPC?

I wasn't sure if WoW had live events.

 

[brad.dude03]

He's an NPC, cuz he's a raid boss. They do have live events, but Illidan and Black Temple isn't one of them

 

[GST_Nemisis]

Taxi i can't believe it! you are the funniest guy, your avatar is pro.

 

[brad.dude03]

Taxi has always been the funniest. If we ever had a funniest man (or woman... although, neither iristle or werewulf are very funny... at all... don't shoot me, i'm not sexist >.>) contest then ANYWAY Taxi would totally win. Dozens of pink peons ftw That sig was the greatest

Well, read on Internet

On Warcraft III, when Arthas slaughtered Illidan...it only shows Illidan lying on the snow...but Illidan never died...I read the story: It says that he was badly hurt and he went back to his camp just to be healed by the naga and the blood elves of Lady Vashj and Kael'Thas...and after that...the story of "Lord of Outland" begins...in a matter of fact, Illidan never died.

Finaly! Someone who understands. I mean if Illidan died in Wc3. Why is he back is WoW?

And about the storyline. I REALLY don't like the path it took, and I am sure many others do not as well. But the fact is that the lore is constantly evolving, and the taller it is (Wc3), the harder the fall (Wow). I really can't wait untill the new chapter of the lore comes out and it meshes everything perfectly (if it does), then it would make everyone be quiet about it... or at least sate them untill it falls again.

The thing I also have a problem is the complaining. Nothing much comes of a purely negative comment (unless it is uttered by Mecheon). If you are going to bitch about the lore, could you at least bitch positively? Offer suggestions? Ideas? Brainstorms? Possible Connections? I notice that when people do this the topics turn into more productive threads instead of a "We Hate WoW!" Thread.... which we already have to much off.

| That is one big opinion. But I just can't be quiet about it anymore.

[The Last Istari]

That's because Mecheon uses humorous insults to cover it up. Other than that, his negatory comments are just like ours.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Personally, I admire Mecheon's ability to turn n00b crushing into an art. More about Mecheon's artful n00b crushing, he has done so here in a thread that was about the exact same thing as the below quote.

What the hell is wrong with you? Explain in great detail, and I'd like that answer in at most two days. Aside from the fact that this has been established as fact for essentially the entire internet since two days after TFT came out, this is about Illidan dying in WoW, not WC3. l3rn2r33d n00b. That post was totally off-topic and came from nowhere. Illidan V Arthas in WC3 wasn't even mentioned in this thread until you brought it up. Who are you even talking to?
