+Morfh in the big picture, yes. but archimonde before kil'jaeden. regardless, it's one of the many reasons why we all agree that Kael'thas went mad in the end
Kaelthas was succumbed to kiljaeden's deception the very moment kiljaeden materialize himself infront of illidan,vashj,akama and kaelthas back at the black temple in warcraft 3.Illidan described it as "kiljaeden taking abit of an interest to kaelthas in particular when he glanced over illidan's newly formed army but its nothing that bothered illidan much".
You're misunderstanding the timeline, though. Kil'jaeden created the Scourge to prepare for the Legion's next invasion. Destroying Quel'thalas and the Sunwell to revive Kel'thuzad was part of the Legion's plan to be able to summon Archimonde. So basically Kael'thas chose to serve the one being who masterminded his people's destruction from start to finish. It wasn't until after Archimonde was summoned and left for Nordrassil that the Lich King betrayed the Legion.
They removed a few sound effects from this video. Such as Brutallus' grunt and KJ's laugh at the end. Search for this trailer elsewhere and the sounds are as they were when this came out
I am watching this video in 2018 and seeing this gives this nostalgic feeling of how good was to play wow was back then when I was a teenager... ah well times changed. A big hug for those who experienced this game at his best
Ew... MoP's lore and storyarc was probably all summed up in a year's worth, BC and Wrath touched upon deeply established and lore that had been worked on and developed for years and years and didn't feel penciled in
@@MyidolGwen Forgetting the fact that MoP set up an Old God / Legion arc perfectly. Nostalgia is a dangerous thing, so is not playing the game and developing a warped view based on others opinions.
The last raid of the Burning Crusade. I miss it. I remember when it first came out, I eagerly downloaded the wallpaper Blizzard generously offered us on their community site. I remember Kil'jaeden's empowering roar as he emerged waist-up from the Sunwell's abyssal recesses. This image can also be seen on Blizzard's new merchandise, their AMPM cups. The only thing I cannot forgive them for, is how their lore department massacred Kael'thas' character and his legacy, as well as his family's dynasty
I'm sorry but for those who remember watching this back in the day, does it feel like half the sound effects from this trailer are missing? I could have sworn that the undead actually made noises during the attack and you could also hear the skeleton slicing through the dying elf, or am I just crazy? It feels really weird and hollow watching this without those effects
Podrick Fookin' Payne yeah and if u watch the shadow of the necropolis one certain bits have changed like when kelthuzad says your curiosity will be the death of you
I knew I initially remember this trailer being significantly more epic in presentation than I remember... rewatching this I'm like wow I know the graphics are poor in comparison but there was an it factor here at one point why is this underwhelming
This is just EVERY expansion Enemy comes Enemy falls down magic toilet Look Burning Crusade: Kil'Jeaden Falls down sun well Wrath: Arthas falls into big sporty thing Cata: Deathwing falls in maelstrom Pandaria: Garrosh knows stuff into mogo pools QUIT PUSHING PEOPLE IN THE MAGIC TOILET
My favorite race, because of their lore. Blood Elf lore has been, and always will be my favorite. I roleplay as a Blood Elf. Oh... I love you, Sin'dorei.
Seriously, why did he go from the guy who refused the title of king to honor his father and all who had fallen, to the guy who betrayed his people to demons? When Arthas did it, at least a magic sword corrupted him, what happened here?
kaelthas claims that his people's addiction is uncontrollable but in truth,his own addiction is the worse.Deep inside kaelthas's mind,he would do anything to gain back that source of power even if it only restore himself but of course,that thought didnt bind him until kiljaeden appeared infront of illidan,vashj,akama and kaelthas back in warcraft 3.Kiljaeden scanned illidan's soldiers minds and took an interest to kaelthas in particular.Whatever kiljaeden took interest to kaelthas on that day,illidan doesnt know but it didnt bother him.
Even with Naxxramas, Fall of the Lich King, Rage of the Firelands, Rise of the Zandalari, The Thunder King and Tomb of Sargeras, this is still by far the best and most chilling trailer.
Translation:"It was called the World of Warcraft...A sacred game of untold fun...Untill the shadow of Cataclysm fell upon us...Only after the WoW's destruction did we realise how dependant we were...We found deliverance in the demon Blizzard.Blizzard offered new sources of gaming power...But Blizzard's agenda was short sided.We grew impatient,in secret,we began harnessing what game we crave,true gaming.That was taken from us!..But...All is not lost,WoW's essence is hiden....Now we return with a knowledge,that sacrifices must be made before we can reclaim our gameright.Wow will shine once again,and usher into this world...the one...that will save us all"
Rainy Jane Actually WotLK was pretty good. It had the best lore and Icecrown Citadel and Ulduar are easily some of the best raids around. The only thing that ruined the game in that expansion was the uncluttering, and the Path of Titans system. The rest was really impressive. Some classes (like the Paladin) became better (I can only speak for the Paladin because that's what I rolled back then) and it had a lot of lore to it. Death Knights were amazing as well. What I miss from BC is that feeling of epicness we got when we first flew, and doing Black Temple, and the mysthique it had back then because the game was still new and had so much to offer. I still kinda wish they waited a few years to release an expansion about Illidan. Maybe AFTER WotLK, since Illidan and Arthas were rivals. It would have been neat to have Illidan come back to Azeroth to see his foe die. In the end, all expansions had good and bad, the thing is, BC was the first and had all the chances to bring good stuff. Warlords of Draenor is sincerely one of the best expansions and really suits the game at this point in time. I think they got it right.
urielvazquez The only thing I agree on was that the lore for wotlk was good, but the expansion itself I really disliked. I'm big on scenery and environments and to me Northrend was terribly dull after TBC. It was all these different variants of snow and then Sholazaar which felt like a second Un'goro, and which was an environment type I never liked in the first place. Also, they introduced vehicle mechanics, and it was like they went completely nuts with it: there were vehicle mechanics EVERYWHERE. They were something I never liked in the first place, but they were all over, you couldn't get away from them (like playing your class? Well, here, hit these three lame buttons instead of your abilities, and now do that 50 more times with 50 different vehicles!) Wotlk Was probably the first time I stopped feeling "addicted" to WoW. I feel like most of the time when I speak with someone who "loved" Wotlk, they started playing during WotlK and see it as nostalgic (not saying that's the case with you, but I remember back when it was WotlK, it was rare to come across someone in-game who didn't dislike it compared with TBC - and no, that's not just nostalgia, I loved TBC while it was still TBC). Also, it's interesting how nowadays everyone you speak to who played older expansions reminiscens on their presumed epic time raiding, when in actuality back in classic maybe like 1% of the population actually raided, and in TBC maybe like 1% of the population got to Black Temple and beyond. Most people got up to T5 in TBC, but suddenly everyone is like "oh I remember the awesome raiding of BT and Sunwell..." - where are these people coming from??
I loved TBC, I had a Female Blood Elf Hunter who used the Golden Bow of Quel'thalas and I always kept throughout wrath and cata, and was so pleased I could use its model in 4.3. Seriously, TBC held the best raids and the best looking armor...Priest, Warlock and Rogue are just a 3 classes who had epic looking gear throughout TBC
im 23 years old... working in municipality... and studying in university for industrial engineering... i have played warcraft since 2000... and i played all of the installments... from Warcraft: the dark portal.... to reign of chaos and frozen throne... and into wow until this very new expantion: Legion... in all the 18 years... i have never seen a lore stronger and deep than that of the Quel'dorei... I have paid lots of my money and time and life to this game only to live through Lady sylvanas windrunner... kaelthas sunstrider... and Quel'dorei... the only times ever my head explodes is where i hear Kael'thas ' fury of sunwell intro... or lady sylvanas's lamnet of the highborne.... and my life outside of the game with all the good things and privilages pales in comparrison to what i have with this Great life in Quel'thalas... there will never come a better thing than the Sin'dorei in this game... it was and is and will be the deepest and greatest Story that blizzard has to tell... the Story which gave me a new life... a life as a sindorei... Shin'do Sin'dorei
i remember when this was actual, Sunwell only very few have seen from inside what a pity given the beautiful art of the whole instance. My guild only managed to kill the first boss but couldnt down Brutallus, brutal it was
Whenever I read WoWTLK was the best expansion I just remember this patch and the thrill to try to kill Muru without any shamys or locks in the raid comes to my mind. good times blizz wp!!
The first time I not only was able to, but also join in with a wow end-game with everyone else. Good times, still my fave end-game area. Next to timeless isle and argus.
@FuriousBCPill The pandorans where hidden from the world by mist, Hence "mists of pandora" the reason they were hidden was because of the first attack by the burning legion. But for some reason the mists are gone now. That part i dont have the answer to.
The last WoD content patch, which is one of only three, before the current pre-legion patch lasted OVER A YEAR. People have been killing Archimonde (again) for OVER A YEAR. A content drought like that has never happened before in the history of the game. You may dismiss this old stuff as nostalgia, but the game had content and the game had substance back then.
Excuse me, but no. WoD's final content patch has not lasted a significant amount of time longer than the content patches of the last three expansions. I will agree WoD suffered from a rather depressing content drought and overall we got less in WoD than ever before, but the hyperbole of WoD being a 'content desert' compared to the last few expansions is merely only that- a hyperbole. I was there when people were moaning about Ice Crown Citadel lasting over a year, and people made the same complaints then as they do now; that the game is awful and dying and the next expansion better "fix everything" or else the game is dead.
@@CIAinTaiwanAndUkraine I was hoping for a United elven race. Ya know, blood elves, high elves and void elves all reuniting under one banner, and the Night elves, Nightborne and Highborne all united
The blood elves and nightborne were complicit in murdering the civilians of Astranaar, Darkshore and Teldrassil High Elves, Void Elves and Highborne will avenge the fallen Night Elves and make the Blood Elves face justice and make the Nightborne recant their decision
TBC's videos still give me nostalgia of these time. WOTLK & Cataclysm don't. I miss Karazhan. I miss Nagrand. I miss SSC, Gruul, Zul'Aman. I spent countless hours of pure fun with friends there. Ulduar was the only promising raid since then. I want to taste again the fun of this period of my gamer's life.
Yes. Apparently we left a near-death Kael'thas in Tempest Keep. He got revived with Fel energies to summon Kil'jeaden. He was the final boss in Magister's Terrace, where we remove his head to keep him dead this time.
Yea, I remember when someone got the first one on my server, people were following him around everywhere in the cities. Oh to be raiding TBC again, my favorite time. FIRE TO THE AID OF SHADOW
I've been a fan of WoW since watching my brothers play BC and sure they changed some things to the gaming experience that i didn't like but that never stopped me from playing. can't wait till they bring back Kiljaeden and hopefully make that raid challenging. I'm definitely up for it.
he is more or less correct. The highborne were night elves but they were also the first to be exposed to the well of eternity, which is what turned the trolls into elves in the first place, so technically they would have been the first elves. If you reply to this comment I won't be able to see it =/ between this ubuntu OS and youtube's new layout I can't figure out how to tell if I have new comments and where. Sorry.
Not quite. The Highborne were the original Elven race, and it was all but destroyed by overuse of Arcane magic and the summoning of the Burning Legion. The survivors of the Highborn split - some remaining Highborn and hiding for thousands of years, others mutated into Naga or Satyr, most became Night Elves or High Elves and went their seperate ways. The Blood Elves came into being much later after the Scourge destroyed the Sunwell.
I remember wipeing in magisters terrace to trash mobs , like oh don't forget the CC , and you know what that was what made the place feel scary and epic , like you could easily die , this is what made wow special for me not the fact I didn't kill the last boss of the sunwell , but the hole storyline and music and the look of everything was pretty much perfect aswell :) aah burning legion bombing run daily the first ever daily quest I remember doing hahaha
Wow the audio was butchered in this version of the same patch trailer.....Butchered......especially the ending wow.......makes you realize how important good audio is
