Archimonde totally uses an Altar after you kill him. ;)

Q u o t e:
The Infinite Fight just seems out to randomly screw with history. At this point there is no clear goal or reasoning behind hit.

My theory is that they're fallen or "Tarnished" bronze dragons out to make their shiner cousins look bad in the eyes of their Father and nothing more.


I only know a little of the Infinite flight's lore, but here's my theory:

Whenever Blizzard needs a new Warcraft 'Big Bad'(TM Mutant Enemy Productions ), they simply make one of their powerful NPC's go nuts. That means, eventually, all of their powerful NPC's will go nuts. That means, at some point in the future, Nozdormu is already nuts. So, like Deathwing, he probably drives his whole flight at that time period nuts, and they all go tromping back through time to do nutty things to everyone else.

This isn't my theory, but I subscribe to it. Someone posted that it seems the Dragonflight Infinite is somehow tied to the Burning Legion because if you rationalize the things they are trying to change it benefits the Burning Legion.

If Thrall is killed. He never reorganizes the Orcs and brings them back to their Shamanistic roots, leaving them cursed and tainted by the Blood of Mannoroth (or is it some other demon now? Metzen's retcons are getting confusing).

If Medivh never opens the portal to Draenor and the Orcs never arrived on Azeroth, the nations of man, elf, and dwarf would never have allied. They would have continued to fight their own petty battles and at best provided small pockets of resistance when the Legion arrived, at worst they would have destroyed some of their rival nations.

Archimonde succeeds at the World Tree? Well I think that one is pretty obvious.

Argue not with dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well with ketchup.

I think that when you go to Hyjal, all of a sudden everything is WC3 animation, and you play the unit that resembles ypur class/race most. Horde campaign for horde, Alliance campaign for the horde.
ORLY?

Arthas' thoughts before he fell: "Dam this pally ting is teh suxzors. I think ill like reroll my new unlocked DK and if taht blowz too ill go bac to playing my pally.

I just thought of something. The dragon aspects were created by the Titans, correct? And Sargeras is a Titan (albeit a corrupted on, but a Titan nonetheless). Who's to say the infinite flight wasn't created by Sargeras, since he probably knows intimately the workings of azeroth, and as such, would know about the caverns of time, and how to send his new creations there to fit his plans.

refer to my post.

When warriors are spending rage to get more rage, I think there is some flaw in design.

I read that apparenlty the dragons ate most of the wisp that blew Arch up. And I have a long standing and fairly well supported theory that the spirit of Achimonde is behind the infinate dragonflight.

Q u o t e:
Never been to Hyjal, but I was thinking, if Achimonde was killed before reaching the world tree wouldn't that alter history? As in the destruction of the world tree would never have happened, the Night Elves would still be immortal, and there would be no new world tree in Teldrassil.


This man has a very good point. Does the bronze flight come in after we take down Archimonde and blow up the tree using lots of wisp special effects?

Who knows, I'm only just starting to see Karazhan. I'll let you know when the 4th expansion comes out. Unless Blizzard plans on easing up on the mitigation and actually make more content rather than stretching the accessibility for existing content.

Just accept that Blizzard didn't bother to make an explanation. Hyjal is a half-assed raid anyways.

The ground's a long way down, but I need more.

The Infinate flight is more than likely a tool of the Burning Legion. Consider their targets:

Keeping Thrall from escaping. If Thrall doesn't escape, the Horde doesn't make their stand with the Night elves and Alliance at Hyjal. This would cut down the Azerothian forces by a third.

Keeping Medivh from opening the Dark portal. If the orcs don't arive in Azeroth, eventually the human kingdoms would engage in a civil war instead of uniting to fight the orcs. Not to mention this wouldn't give the horde a chance to become the good guys and again...fight the legion at Hyjal.

I myself havn't been to Hyjal yet and havn't been able to asess the situation there, but i'm sure somthing is wrong with the event. Nordrasil seems to be their primary objective. Perhaps killing Archimonde without sacrificing the World Tree is somthing the flight wants.

OK well i watched it and it was funny in a goofy kind of way. At times seems a bit outdated though.

You can't buy experience, it's BOP.

The point of Hyjal is to make you hate the trash so much that BT and other raid dungeon trash feels fun.

Q u o t e:
You played WCIII, your heroes failed, wips came in to save you.

Actually. One time playing that mission I was able to hold Archimonds forces at Thrall's base the whole 45 mins. Hows that for screwing up the Timeline? Ive done one better then the Infinite Dragonflight lol.

Shaman need SOMETHING or they're gonna stampede. And half of them have hooves, you know, so that's something to be worried about!

It's a "time pocket" if you will. There's no intended link to the Infinite Dragonflight or their dastardly deeds of altered timeways, and you're not literally interacting with history. It's simply a way for players to experience some of the larger moments in Warcraft history, and admittedly the Mount Hyjal instance isn't really linked to the world for any rhyme or reason. The timeway presented itself, it's an amazing opportunity to be there and experience such a major event, and Archimonde drops phat purples.

Their system of oppression, what did it lead to? Global robot depression.

Oi.

So...why did the Bronze Dragonflight let us in?

Edit:

...foist.

Sorry. First time. Had to do it.
