Q u o t e:


What foundation? They built stands for the spectators and a few staircases. All they would need is bricks and wood supports. Hell, the floor is mostly dirt except for the seal of the Argent Cruade in the middle of the floor.


Ignorance is bliss. Even your wood framed house has a foundation.

The floor is probably thick enough for the worms to burrow through. But this is the Lich King that breaks through the ground, I' sure breaking through several meters of solid stone is easy for him.

Q u o t e:
How does a bird from scholzar drop a green axe twice it's size?

Answer: it's a video game. Who cares about physics.

Its a video game if you overthink it your head may explode.

Q u o t e:


Arthas is very proud. He'd allow them to build the tournament grounds just to prove how futile it is.

What doesn't make sense is that he appears in front of EVERY SINGLE POWERFUL PERSON PRESENT AS WELL AS A HANDFUL OF POWERFUL ADVENTURES, and not a soul does anything to stop him. Seriously, Why didn't everyone in those stands (save Jaina, who probably still thinks he can be saved) bumrush him and beat him to death?


Disbelief must be suspended in order to get epix.

I blame the writers. WTB better scripts for ICC.

The floor could be a hundred feet thick with Arthas causing the bottom to fall away first, then crumble it's way up, and then shatter the hard-packed top crust.

But then why is the wooden symbol built into the floor not all messed up after worms bust through it?

And why is there no debris on the cavern floor after we fall down?

Shouldn't the water be muddied at the very least?

There are several reasons for this.

First of all, the floor is made out of magic wood. If you did the quests from the goblins to collect the wood (while the building was under construction), you would know this. Note that the worms burrow around and pop up, yet the floor is never left damaged. It takes Frostmourne to do that.

Second of all, there is no rock. It's build on ice. The worms were burrowing around in that.

So, here's the full story:

There was a nice, thick foundation of ice.

Icehowl slammed his head against the (magic wood) walls a bunch of times, alerting the Nerubians. They called up Arthas and told him about the ruckus.

Then, that idiot gnome went and summoned Lord Jaraxxus who, what do you know...used four different fire spells...and summoned infernals, who also used fire spells. Guess what happened when you didn't get rid of Incinerate Flesh in time? That's right. All that fire didn't damage the magic wood, but it did heat it up. The ice started to melt.

Meanwhile, the Lich King went to check out his buddy Anub'Arak in Azjol'Nerub, and found him dead again, this time from a serious apostrophe infection. He sighed and cast "Raise Giant Nerubian King As Undead". Again.

Then you fought the Faction Champions. They brought their WARLOCK, didn't they? He cast HELLFIRE, didn't he? Again, gnome warlocks are idiots. More melting.

It also took you several attempts, didn't it? Not only was that even more melting, but it gave Anub'arak and the Lich King time to walk over and chat and reminisce about the same trip they made together at the end of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne.

Oh, then you got to laugh at the Twins. Pushovers, right? Yeah, check your combat logs. Guess what? There's no such thing as "Light" damage. No. It's FIRE DAMAGE!! That was it. After that fight, all the ice was melted.

All the Lich King had to do was to port in and poke Frostmourne at the floor.

I've saved the best for last. How do I know this is all true?

You know that lake that you fall into that breaks your fall and saves you from being splattered all over? Why is there liquid water there when, this far north, everything else is frozen? That's right. It's made of all the ice that you melted during your fights up above. That's your incontrovertible evidence, and it explains the whole burrowing worm mystery, right there.

(Note: Kobold fire puddles from Gormok the Impaler aren't strong enough to melt any ice except on Heroic mode.)

It's not a question of where he grips it, it's a simple matter of weight ratios! A 5 pound bird could not carry a 30 pound axe!

Q u o t e:
In Trial of the Crusader, the ground floor is broken by the Lich King in the last phase of the raid. This floor is relatively thin, only a few feet deep. This raises the question, how were the two jormungar able to tunnel completely into the ground? Am I missing some key detail, or is that fact of tunneling depth ignored by blizzard?


You think they are burrowing but really they are just moving positions while casting a spell on you that makes you think they are burrowing. Problem solved.

Then in that case, wouldn't they both be moble instead of just one mobile and the other rooted to the ground?

I for one am appalled. I figured all those daily quests where I picked up concrete would have at least partially gone into some kind of foundation.

and what, no basement? I mean, come on. Not even a concrete slab foundation. Did the Goblins hire some Outland immigrant labor to put this thing up? Who is the foreman? Isn't there a building inspector up in Northrend, cause this thing is NOT up to code!
