It’s a beautiful thing that unites both the Horde and Alliance since it spans across all sides and factions.

“We stood together at Mount Hyjal, and that world tree didn’t fall.”

Yeah yeah, fair point.

Except it kind of did, because Malfurion nuked it with a tactical wisp detonation that wiped out the surrounding forest as well. Sure it grew back, but who can say whether or not Teldrassil will too? How resilient are world trees anyway?

My only condition would be: If rebels can’t openly walk around Orgrimmar (duh even I agree with that) then loyalists shouldn’t openly walk around Thunderbluff. Anyone chanting FOR THE DARK LADY would probably “trip” off one of the many, many cliff edges…

I fully expect some covert work (short of forbidding all entry of undead in the city which is unlikely) but anyone trying to bring people to the cells in Orgrimmar is more likely to get surrounded by Braves, seemingly.

If the two sides went to get into fisticuffs, I suggest taking it outside the cities where it’s less of a headache trying to explain why your open rebel isn’t instantly assassinated or why your open loyalist isn’t falling off the Bluffs at terminal velocity.

All of mount hyjal is essentially just reduced to cinders, but then as you say…like what, 8 years later its full of life and completly fine.

So pretty quick recovery.

While the idea of more RP coming to Thunder Bluff is cool, I’m not sure I really trust the quality of most Orgrimmar RPers (both rebel and loyalists) to make it all that worthwhile lol

I’m now annoyed that Nordrassil is totally fine in Cataclysm instead of being, like, a sapling being nutured under the ‘corpse’ of the great tree.

Reminder as well that the Mount Hyjal that was ingame before Cataclysm had like barren roots and a massive skeleton of Archimonde stuck to the tree.

I’ll peg it down to Nordrassil being a direct link to the Emerald Dream which would speed up regrowth.

It’s still a horribly missed opportunity though because a devastated Mount Hyjal that is on the mend would give a lot more weight to the final act of the battle against Archimonde. Ragnaros wouldn’t need to rock on up there though.

Oh my… Vixi, you reminded me of good ol days of Warcraft 3… :sob:
So much nostalgia, so much awesomeness… I really miss those days…

Also, notice that some roots of Nordrassil begins to regrow after the explosion. The regrowth started from just after it. :slight_smile:
And… Seems only the summit of the mountain was blazed, since it shows the bottom parts, where the armies are, being green.

Here is a reminder picture of pre-cata Nordrassil.

Any trust 3 that can make it more visible?

Edit: Thanks Kump!

Shame that didn’t make it to live. So amazingly ominous.

That’s a metal move by the Night Elves, hanging the charred remains of Archimonde the Destroyer on their world tree. Basically flagging up to any baller out there in the Great Beyond who wants to take a pot shot at Azeroth that they better watch their step.

Even more than that, the last time the demons came they ripped the world apart just to teach them a lesson. Night Elves don’t play people, they will nuke the things you think they hold dear just to make a point.

I guess because Afrasiabi was working on his whole “All demons are the same across all realities, so they cant die either.”

Such a shame to have seen the night elves reduces to a joke race equal to gnomes and goblins. With most of the npc we see act like highschoolers(See Azuna and a couple of others), or just completly tactless with none of the scary-factor they used to have.

And the twisting nether regeneration thing aswell, I think.

I didn’t like that idea of Afrasiabi. With that, one can imagine that the combined might of countless timelines will crush the Burning Legion.

…also i loved Archimonde… I miss WC3 version of him… A whole WORLD TREE was sacrificed for him to die…
…in WoD? Some adventures… ez pz… I hated it.
