Ravenhuh Zers Oh my god, Illidan just pulled the planet. Stick to the plan. Stick to the plan. Am I lagging guys? I can't move. More demons respawning. More respawning. Cast divine intervention. I'm trying! Illidan you are just stupid as hell. "Least I have chicken." -Illidan

Yeah but even then we all knew it was a stupid ass decision to make but unfortunantly we couldn't NOT make it. Khadgar is to blame for the Legion invasion, he failed when we entered Draenor and he failed to stop Gul'dan from reaching the tomb on Azeroth.
The significance of Khadgar’s line: “at least we will have died fighting” is that this is the exact opposite of what Kil’Jaeden did when he met Sargeras. Khadgar is basically calling KJ a coward.
Sargeras: " WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR THE SON OF ARTHAS, BUT ALSO ILLIDAN BUT ALSO ME!? AND WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE 20 FOOT HORSE COCKS! O GOD I THINK IM GOING TO JUST STAB MYSELF!"

Upon touching Kil'jaeden's forehead, it almost looked like Velen granted him a sense of Peace before he finally died. Peace within himself, and a satisfying answer for the tyrant he once called his brother. This cinematic is so, so great!
reason being is that Kil´jaeden was once the best friend and one of the main rulers of eredar race whom were corrupted by Sergaras and he believed that Sergaras wanted to purify them with knowledge and sentient actions but instead he intended to corrupt them... talking about the Velen´s vision he meant the one where he saw Sergaras´s truly intentions but they did not hear Velen out nor Archimonde did. As all the creatures controlled and corrupted by their "masters" they eventually freed their mind athe end of their existence and therefore you are absolutely right Kil´jaeden was glad that Velen succeded in defeating the burning legion for good! :)
@@MiggyTheNihilist Well put, Velen was definitely upset when he realized Kil'Jaeden thought it was his only option and he was envious of his best friend. My theory is he used one bit of holy magic when he touched his brow to let him know that Velen may not forget all the destruction, but he definitely forgave his best friend. Kil'Jaeden looked close to tears.
I'm like the rest of you. Always loved this part. See how tense and angry he still is even after being defeated? He was tortured mentally every single day since he chose to make this pact and when velen touches him, his expression completely changes and finally he finds some peace just before dying.
I always was interested by the fact that he started to fall apart more once Velen touched his head. It's as if his bitterness and pride were the only things sustaining him while he was mortally wounded and admitting his fault/reconciling with Velen caused him to let go of those things.

What's strange is that Sargeras had access to that device Illidan used since... Forever. Maybe it can't actually bring him to Azeroth for whatever reason?
Legion portals were convenient to the Legion. They allowed their forces to reach us while we have a hard time reaching them. Due to the fact that they cannot die in Azeroth and will just respawn, it provided the Legion endless waves of attack where they lose almost nothing. The forces of Azeroth however don't have the same privilege of respawning like demons or our player character. A defensive war achieves nothing but delaying the Legion. It's impossible to compete with an infinitely respawning army in a defensive war unless you cut off their source. You cannot build up your forces faster than this enemy. The portal Illidan opened is convenient for both sides. It lets the Legion attack us at full power but also lets us attack them in full force. Except this time, the demons we kill in Argus are dead for good since they can actually die permanently in places with high amounts of fel energy. This is why the Illidari has always adopted the strategy of going to their planet, killing their leader there and then blowing up that planet. Also if you think about it, this is the strongest our player characters have been. We have legendary artifact weapons and Legionfall is composed of all class factions unified regardless of race. This is also the weakest the legion has been with both Archi and KJ dead. If Illidan didn't open this portal now, you just know Azeroth is going to go back fighting a defensive war in hopes of "rebuilding" faster against an infinitely respawning opponent as if that's possible. Either that or the Alliance and Horde go back to bickering again. So he forces everyone to fight the war the Illidari way. Go in there and kill them in their home planet OR everyone dies. Is it selfish? Yes but you can't deny it's effective.
Verthras shorter way of saying this illidan forced us to attack argus to destroy them once and forall because the legion is at its weakest point right now and we are at our strongest
Never was a fan of the infinitely respawning, not truly dead, nonsense the introduced to the Legion. They were indeed very killable prior to at least Cata or when they introduced that to the lore. It just seemed like a poor way to reintroduce the Legion.
@@misterbleedinggums Literally any demon who died pre-cata was dead. The spirits of powerful demons would linger and they could be resurrected like anything else but they were quite dead in every other sense of the word. It wasn't until MoP that they introduced the idea that demons exist outside of realities/timelines and could only be killed in specific spots. Numerous times in the books and in WoW is it hinted that the body should be destroyed so that they can never return to a physical form or that if you slay a legion solider they are in fact dead. Multiple times in the War of the Ancients series they talk about how killing demons only puts a tiny dent in the Legions numbers. Many of the demons killed in WC3 and WoW were considered permadead by Blizzard themselves until at least MoP. Mannoroth was a HUGE example of this. Blizzard says not only in WoW but in commentary that Hellscream's sacrifice robbed the Legion of one of their greatest commanders. It was just a lazy way to reuse old villains and Blizzard knows it.
i can only imagine the Maiev Shadowsong reaction : Maiev: congratulations ilidan you've won ... Ilidan smiles... ... you've won another 10 000 years in jail.
Khadgar: "What have you done?!" Illidan: "I skipped the next content patch." Khadgar: "Velen, can he do that?" Velen shrugs. Illidan: "For this, not even Sargeras was...... prepared." Illidan puts on sunglasses.
" *Rhonin yells:* Citiziens of Dalaran, raise your eyes to the skies and observe." " *Rhonin yells:* Today our world's destruction has been averted in whaaa _aaaAAAA_ *_AAAA THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUU_* "
octapusxft Brox was a badass but not "Summon the fuckin Legion homeworld to Azeroth to force the Alliance and Horde to deal with Sargeras once and for all" badass.
"I never believed that Sargeras could be stopped... Perhaps you will prove me wrong" And then Velen touched his face. I do believe he was sharing the vision of Sargeras' defeat as he used to do with him before KJ became a demon. That moment between these two, beautiful.
Do you know that I would like to think that one day it will happen? As we all know, we defeated Kil'Jaden, when he was defeated in Argus his death is final and he can no longer resurrect, that means that he would have gone to the Shadowlands, directly to the jaws, but, I want to think that when we settle the lawsuit that there is, it can be judged by the Prosecutor and at some point it is sent to Revendred to atone, since if we remember correctly, although he did everything he did, it was out of jealousy and because he thought that the Legion could not be defeated, so, just like Arthas should be sent to Revendred and that his sins are atoned for, seeing how in the cinematic he finally repents and seeing that Velen gave him peace by forgiving him, I think he should be tried too ...
Pretty remarkable that its still a topic of debate - "What was Velen's gesture toward Kil'Jaeden?' - about a year after the fact. It absolutely wasn't redemption. KJ was far beyond being redeemed. The atrocities he committed were unspeakable over tens of thousands of years. It wasn't really absolution either...there was no finality of Kil'Jaeden's ultimate goal that Velen would have needed to acknowledge here. Forgiveness? Maybe. There may have been some at least SOME hint of forgiveness here. Velen clearly understood after all these years exactly why it was that KJ and Arche threw in with Sargeras. KJ pretty much lays it out in that broad statement that he thought Sargeras would've just wiped them all from the face of reality had they not thrown in with him. They wouldn't have been able to stop him, not at that time. What that gesture I believe truly was, though? Acknowledgement. Velen acknowledged KJ's guilt. With just the gesture of his hand, he told KJ "I know." He also acknowledged his own guilt. That gesture also said "I shouldn't have left." KJ's face softened at the touch. He knew that Velen was telling him "We will stop him. Now, you can be at peace." Knowing that Velen was aware of his guilt and that even here, he still showed his brother some modicum of care was enough for him to accept his fate without the standard "Blaaaaarrrrrgh!" of a villain. It was said that for centuries, KJ was angry at Velen for leaving them. That wasn't villainous anger, it was heartbroken anger. Overall, this was a very touching moment in the history of the lore.
I am glad kil'jaeden got a little closure with Velen 7.3 better be worth the hype they built and not another broken shore that is somewhat boring. I am hoping for a full on war!
haven't they been working on Argus since they announced it a year ago? I hope Argus has a bigger role then what timeless isle/Tanaan jungle has had. there's a lot we could do then just push the legion off the planet and never go back.
They've used similar excuses in the past. Patch 7.2 was extremely underwhelming and hardly contained any content at all, for a multi billion dollar company they shouldn't be making excuses.
actually... I think Velen's resentiment is building uo more fast than you imagine. During the exodar invasion he is so pissed of he would have tried to go kill kill jaden itself with the exodar. the death of his son has broken something in is faith. even if we see him so faithfull in the priest order hall, i belive that actually kil'jaden has succed in something at least: breaking Velen conviction. and breaking his conviction for the first time we see velen using another type of magic: I'm not going to say that he used the fel to make kil jaden explode, but surely he used that much of power to make him explode by his own fel. maybe he has just purified him, but still he, actually, killed him
Khadgar: "We must find a pillars of creation, build few orderhalls, collect the nethershards, raise our artifact weapons, unite against Gul"Dan, help the Nigtfallen, etc, etc..." Illidan: "Didn't read. LoL"
That's a typical Illidan move for ya: Insanely dangerous, but effective... Much easier access for all of us! Demons can easily reach us and we can easily get to Argus and stop the Legion for good... Much excitement for the invasion of Argus is had! ^_^
Do you know that I would like to think that one day it will happen? As we all know, we defeated Kil'Jaden, when he was defeated in Argus his death is final and he can no longer resurrect, that means that he would have gone to the Shadowlands, directly to the jaws, but, I want to think that when we settle the lawsuit that there is, it can be judged by the Prosecutor and at some point it is sent to Revendred to atone, since if we remember correctly, although he did everything he did, it was out of jealousy and because he thought that the Legion could not be defeated, so, just like Arthas should be sent to Revendred and that his sins are atoned for, seeing how in the cinematic he finally repents and seeing that Velen gave him peace by forgiving him, I think he should be tried too ...
Even though Velen doesn't say a single word, his expression and Kil'Jaeden's words and final facial expression say a lot. After thousands of years, they are still brothers and Velen forgives him, despite all the evil he has committed. Beautiful.
Man. In a sense, Kil'Jaeden is a tragic villain. He sold himself to Sargeras because he truly believed that there was no winning against him, and after seeing the forces of Azeroth come so far, and Velen by their side, he see's for the first time that he might just have been wrong.
I'm sorry, I know it's a small thing about this cinematic, but Velen placing a hand on Kil'jaeden spoke a lot of volumes if you know the lore between these two. I dunno how Velen deals with all the bullshit.
People saying illidan betrayed them but khadgar was like "welp we ded now" like 2 seconds before. ILLIDAN SAVED EVERYONE'S LIFE. i didn't see Velen complaining either.
I see a lot of comments talking about how Velen reacted to Kil'Jaeden. My own personal opinion is he didn't feel retribution, anger, sorrow, or felt like he was redeemed, I think he just felt pity for him. It just feels the most in-character. He can't forgive him for being an evil PoS, but can still feel bad his friend chose that route.
Honestly Illidans actions make perfect sense. First he saw the the legion fully for what it is, tried to stop them and actually contributed a great deal by helping close the portal during war of the ancients. When he took action to preserve his people's immortality he was locked up for 10,000 years. When legion returned he was release as a mere tool of convenience and killed when he became inconvenient. Now he was revived I am sure he is not deluded enough to think things were going to be peachy. If he didn't force that portal open, everyone would think everything is peachy again go back to infighting. Label the next thing illidan does to prepare for legion as "reckless/dangerous" and lock him up or kill him again. Remember when he tried to take out Lick King during frozen throne? he was stopped because there would bystandards casualties which paled in comparison to shit that lich king did after he survived. So all in all, Illidan just put a constant reminder in the sky of the legion and forced a counter attack from Azeroth and created a possibility for Draenei to take back their home land. On a side note: I am hoping Illidan absorbed the power from Gul'dan and Kil'Jaeden so he can go beast mode against argus demons and get their power too. He is a demon hunter after all.
so beautiful. kil jaden basicially appologizes to velen in hes last moment, explaining why he joined sargeras. wishing velen and the heroes good luck against sargeras. i think kil jaden was hoping for the heroes to beat the legion in hes last dying moment!
When the Legion fails...Illidan: Oh, finally I defeated the Legion! I am the CHAMPION OF THE LIGHT! When the Legion wins...Illidan: Oh, Lord Sargeras! I brought Argus to Azeroth for the Legion! I am your servant my lord!
Darrin Holmes Apparently if you downed KJ in normal or higher, your skybox is changed to have Argus floating there through the rift. Idk if it will work on lfr when it's released there

The spirits of powerful demons would linger and they could be resurrected like anything else but they were quite dead in every other sense of the word. It wasn't until MoP that they introduced the idea that demons exist outside of realities/timelines and could only be killed in specific spots.
Numerous times in the books and in WoW is it hinted that the body should be destroyed so that they can never return to a physical form or that if you slay a legion solider they are in fact dead. Multiple times in the War of the Ancients series they talk about how killing demons only puts a tiny dent in the Legions numbers. Many of the demons killed in WC3 and WoW were considered permadead by Blizzard themselves until at least MoP. Mannoroth was a HUGE example of this. Blizzard says not only in WoW but in commentary that Hellscream's sacrifice robbed the Legion of one of their greatest commanders.
It was just a lazy way to reuse old villains and Blizzard knows it.
1:18 - EVERYONE... GET IN HERE!
He says "GET READY!"
Reference to the Hearthstone card, is a joke we know he says get ready.
Hearthstone eastern egg?
EXACTLY What I thought!
ARE YOU ME?
Illidan: If you don't go to Argus with me then i'm bringing Argus to you >:(
Shadow yup pretty much what he did
i can only imagine the Maiev Shadowsong reaction :
Maiev: congratulations ilidan you've won ...
Ilidan smiles...
... you've won another 10 000 years in jail.
More like an eternity
Illidan: Not if I became the Jailer of the greatest big evil boy Sargeras.
Maiev: ..... Dude..... You don't have to take it personal.
@@th3ra83 Illidan: look who's talking
Trust in Lord Illidan...I think...maybe...right?
Lord Illidan knows the way.. to Argus :>
"Trust in Lord Illidan, he knows the way to Patch 7.3"
He doesn't know the way to patch 7.4, unfortunately...
Khadgar: "What have you done?!"
Illidan: "I skipped the next content patch."
Khadgar: "Velen, can he do that?"
Velen shrugs.
Illidan: "For this, not even Sargeras was...... prepared."
Illidan puts on sunglasses.
And then the music goes: “YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH”
" *Rhonin yells:* Citiziens of Dalaran, raise your eyes to the skies and observe."
" *Rhonin yells:* Today our world's destruction has been averted in whaaa _aaaAAAA_ *_AAAA THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUU_* "
Fulken rhonin died in the mana bomb it'd be khadgar
Ye I know, but it would still be hilarious.
Illidan confirmed to be the most ballin' WoW character of all time.
What about Broxigar
octapusxft Brox was a badass but not "Summon the fuckin Legion homeworld to Azeroth to force the Alliance and Horde to deal with Sargeras once and for all" badass.
Khadgar: "at least we'll have died fighting"
warlocks: *quickly soulstones themselves* "err yeah, sure we will"
Well, that escalated quickly.
Damnit, Illidan.
"I never believed that Sargeras could be stopped... Perhaps you will prove me wrong" And then Velen touched his face. I do believe he was sharing the vision of Sargeras' defeat as he used to do with him before KJ became a demon. That moment between these two, beautiful.
Do you know that I would like to think that one day it will happen? As we all know, we defeated Kil'Jaden, when he was defeated in Argus his death is final and he can no longer resurrect, that means that he would have gone to the Shadowlands, directly to the jaws, but, I want to think that when we settle the lawsuit that there is, it can be judged by the Prosecutor and at some point it is sent to Revendred to atone, since if we remember correctly, although he did everything he did, it was out of jealousy and because he thought that the Legion could not be defeated, so, just like Arthas should be sent to Revendred and that his sins are atoned for, seeing how in the cinematic he finally repents and seeing that Velen gave him peace by forgiving him, I think he should be tried too ...
Pretty remarkable that its still a topic of debate - "What was Velen's gesture toward Kil'Jaeden?' - about a year after the fact.
It absolutely wasn't redemption. KJ was far beyond being redeemed. The atrocities he committed were unspeakable over tens of thousands of years. It wasn't really absolution either...there was no finality of Kil'Jaeden's ultimate goal that Velen would have needed to acknowledge here.
Forgiveness? Maybe. There may have been some at least SOME hint of forgiveness here. Velen clearly understood after all these years exactly why it was that KJ and Arche threw in with Sargeras. KJ pretty much lays it out in that broad statement that he thought Sargeras would've just wiped them all from the face of reality had they not thrown in with him. They wouldn't have been able to stop him, not at that time.
What that gesture I believe truly was, though? Acknowledgement. Velen acknowledged KJ's guilt. With just the gesture of his hand, he told KJ "I know." He also acknowledged his own guilt. That gesture also said "I shouldn't have left." KJ's face softened at the touch. He knew that Velen was telling him "We will stop him. Now, you can be at peace." Knowing that Velen was aware of his guilt and that even here, he still showed his brother some modicum of care was enough for him to accept his fate without the standard "Blaaaaarrrrrgh!" of a villain.
It was said that for centuries, KJ was angry at Velen for leaving them. That wasn't villainous anger, it was heartbroken anger. Overall, this was a very touching moment in the history of the lore.
Underrated comment
Kil'jaeden loved Velen as another aspect of himself. They were true meaning of bromance
Who gives a crap, Warcraft plot has been garbage for over a decade now.
he will be in shadowlands.
(slams gavle) 10,000 years no probation! next case!
My plans are finally coming into fruition...
Also thanks Illidan!
Sargeras No problem m8 :D
This is underrated 😂😂😂
You just did my job mate
Gul'dan gtfo ya smell like fat gnome
Dun worry, you haven't met the group of 10 homeless geeks looking for fancy armor
I am glad kil'jaeden got a little closure with Velen
7.3 better be worth the hype they built and not another broken shore that is somewhat boring. I am hoping for a full on war!
I have theory they fucked up Broken Shore cause they are working on Argus.
Hopefully!
haven't they been working on Argus since they announced it a year ago? I hope Argus has a bigger role then what timeless isle/Tanaan jungle has had. there's a lot we could do then just push the legion off the planet and never go back.
That was the same thing they said about Legion in regards to WoD
They've used similar excuses in the past. Patch 7.2 was extremely underwhelming and hardly contained any content at all, for a multi billion dollar company they shouldn't be making excuses.
KHADGAR : What have you done?
ILLIDAN: Alright time upt lets do this!
Garouchieflol .Gaming LEEEEEEERRROOYYYYYYY
KHADGAR: wait, did he just..? OH SHIT EVERYONE STICK TO THE PLAN
Atleast i have chicken
ILLIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN STTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOORRRRRMMMMMMMMRRRRRRAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE!!!
Good ol' Illidan.
You can see the relieve on Kil'jaeden's face, that his friend has forgiven him
actually... I think Velen is the one who triggers the explosion
look at him and think of everything he has done to velen... the slaughter, the chase, his son. No way he has forgiven him
nah, than he would've been diing by the light
actually... I think Velen's resentiment is building uo more fast than you imagine. During the exodar invasion he is so pissed of he would have tried to go kill kill jaden itself with the exodar. the death of his son has broken something in is faith. even if we see him so faithfull in the priest order hall, i belive that actually kil'jaden has succed in something at least: breaking Velen conviction. and breaking his conviction for the first time we see velen using another type of magic: I'm not going to say that he used the fel to make kil jaden explode, but surely he used that much of power to make him explode by his own fel. maybe he has just purified him, but still he, actually, killed him
just look at Velen's face... that's not a face of hatred
Khadgar: "We must find a pillars of creation, build few orderhalls, collect the nethershards, raise our artifact weapons, unite against Gul"Dan, help the Nigtfallen, etc, etc..."
Illidan: "Didn't read. LoL"
thats what u get when u forgot to bring hodor along for the ride, nobody closes the damn door anymore
Seth Stevens i chimed in with a havent you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door
God Damnit Illidan
i always wanted to go to Argus, so thx illi
the last time this game was good was when argus was visible in the sky
Big agree probably my favorite expansion, Suramar was great. After Legion it was just straight downhill
Where is the Illidan, Tyrande and Malfurion reunion?
On Argus, they'll probably ditch Illidan as a symbol of gratitude
That's a typical Illidan move for ya: Insanely dangerous, but effective...
Much easier access for all of us! Demons can easily reach us and we can easily get to Argus and stop the Legion for good...
Much excitement for the invasion of Argus is had! ^_^
Well at least KJ had some moment of clarity and solace before his death. And Velen seemed to pity more than hate him in those moments.
Do you know that I would like to think that one day it will happen? As we all know, we defeated Kil'Jaden, when he was defeated in Argus his death is final and he can no longer resurrect, that means that he would have gone to the Shadowlands, directly to the jaws, but, I want to think that when we settle the lawsuit that there is, it can be judged by the Prosecutor and at some point it is sent to Revendred to atone, since if we remember correctly, although he did everything he did, it was out of jealousy and because he thought that the Legion could not be defeated, so, just like Arthas should be sent to Revendred and that his sins are atoned for, seeing how in the cinematic he finally repents and seeing that Velen gave him peace by forgiving him, I think he should be tried too ...
It was at that moment, Khadgar knew, he fucked up.
I wanted to like this comment, but then I saw that that you have the magical number of "69" likes
KILROGG!!!
BUT WE WILL BE CONQUERORS!!!!
KIIIILROGG
*Kil gets smashed by Archimonde*
Goddamnit Nixiom xD
+warmongerer of Warsong 😂
IM DIEING XD
KIIIILLLLLROOOOOOGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though Velen doesn't say a single word, his expression and Kil'Jaeden's words and final facial expression say a lot. After thousands of years, they are still brothers and Velen forgives him, despite all the evil he has committed. Beautiful.
now i wait for nixxiom to change this :>
Metzen face in the place of Argus?
He should start doing Ion and Tabletlordx memes.
"What have you done!?"
"What Gul'dan failed to do"
Proceeds to fuck Khadgar up and conquer Azeroth.
This was such an incredible cinematic back in the days... and still today.
Velen "I wish I can see my homeworld again." Illidan "Say no more fam."
Literally everyone: "How will we get to Argus in 7.3?"
Illidan: "Hold my eyes"
XD
i'll be holding bloody mush lmao
Man. In a sense, Kil'Jaeden is a tragic villain. He sold himself to Sargeras because he truly believed that there was no winning against him, and after seeing the forces of Azeroth come so far, and Velen by their side, he see's for the first time that he might just have been wrong.
I'm sorry, I know it's a small thing about this cinematic, but Velen placing a hand on Kil'jaeden spoke a lot of volumes if you know the lore between these two. I dunno how Velen deals with all the bullshit.
"Sometimes, the hand of fate must be forced!" Illidan during the opening cinematic to Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne! Love the continuity there.
Oooops. Wrong interdimensional gap.
taki smutny Kil'jaeden :(
Co jak co ale ta jego ostatnia mina.
Smutno mi się zrobiło
True true
People saying illidan betrayed them but khadgar was like "welp we ded now" like 2 seconds before. ILLIDAN SAVED EVERYONE'S LIFE. i didn't see Velen complaining either.
How does no one see?
Last words of Kil'jaden.
Velen doesn't speak.
It's a confession.
And absolution.
I see a lot of comments talking about how Velen reacted to Kil'Jaeden. My own personal opinion is he didn't feel retribution, anger, sorrow, or felt like he was redeemed, I think he just felt pity for him. It just feels the most in-character. He can't forgive him for being an evil PoS, but can still feel bad his friend chose that route.
I love the confidence in Illidan's voice.
What have you done?!
"Let there be 3 more expansions"
Honestly Illidans actions make perfect sense. First he saw the the legion fully for what it is, tried to stop them and actually contributed a great deal by helping close the portal during war of the ancients. When he took action to preserve his people's immortality he was locked up for 10,000 years. When legion returned he was release as a mere tool of convenience and killed when he became inconvenient. Now he was revived I am sure he is not deluded enough to think things were going to be peachy. If he didn't force that portal open, everyone would think everything is peachy again go back to infighting. Label the next thing illidan does to prepare for legion as "reckless/dangerous" and lock him up or kill him again. Remember when he tried to take out Lick King during frozen throne? he was stopped because there would bystandards casualties which paled in comparison to shit that lich king did after he survived.
So all in all, Illidan just put a constant reminder in the sky of the legion and forced a counter attack from Azeroth and created a possibility for Draenei to take back their home land.
On a side note: I am hoping Illidan absorbed the power from Gul'dan and Kil'Jaeden so he can go beast mode against argus demons and get their power too. He is a demon hunter after all.
Sooo fucking Hyped :O
Der Flo ist ja auch hier. :o
so beautiful. kil jaden basicially appologizes to velen in hes last moment, explaining why he joined sargeras. wishing velen and the heroes good luck against sargeras. i think kil jaden was hoping for the heroes to beat the legion in hes last dying moment!
*Everyone flees in panic*
Demonhunter 1:" Told u he gonna do that"
*Demonhunter 2 hands over 5 gold*
Guess the prophecy is true . Illidan will either destroy or save Azeroth .
0:23 "NO ONE CAN STOP DEATH"..ahh wait wrong game.
1:19 Khadgar connected to the mic of the ship's sound system!!🤣
When the Legion fails...Illidan: Oh, finally I defeated the Legion! I am the CHAMPION OF THE LIGHT!
When the Legion wins...Illidan: Oh, Lord Sargeras! I brought Argus to Azeroth for the Legion! I am your servant my lord!
구남인 I serve only myself you shitty mortal!!!
구남인 illidan is hedging his bets right now
구남인 that's Illidan for ya..... he has contingencies for everything
no your stupid illidan would never serve the legion
구남인 it's already foresaw that Illidan will die fighting and he knows it
I hope this means a skybox update.
Especially for the vanilla zones. Looks like frickin Minecraft in the skies.
Darrin Holmes Apparently if you downed KJ in normal or higher, your skybox is changed to have Argus floating there through the rift. Idk if it will work on lfr when it's released there
For ALL Azeroth zones?
Illidan did nothing wrong
Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus thanx dude :)
Illidan be like:
"We should take Argus, and push it somewhere else!"
you can be useful to the legion, vader, come join us
@@AgentA113 Don't be too proud of this army of minions you've amassed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Darth Vader the force can be useful, and so does the Fel
Well, that makes the trip to Argus a lot shorter.
Next time I'm booking a flight, I'm going to Illidan!
Illidan makes me feel so much better as a Demon Hunter main. Atleast I am not the most insane one in the game.
