Best Argus screenshots

[Soulwind]

one thing to note from this is that argus is a shattered world on the brink of collapse, similar to how draenor became outland, i wouldn't be surprised to find that it is a desolate planet fel scarred and no actual inhabitants anymore.

Supposedly it's swarming with demons. As for its original inhabitants, I'm sure we'll see some fel-infused fauna, but probably nothing remains uncorrupted.

Azeroth must make the flat world society breathe heavy huh.

I dunno, they were at least right with Outland.

There'll be demons and other fel-corrupted inhabitants.

"magic". It was magically moved there by Illidan and Khadgar, so why would physics suddenly matter?

I know it's just "magic" but when people say it's just one huge portal: how come you only see the planet but not everything around it? '.'

Maybe it's more like a bubble around Argus, so there's nothing else around that can be seen from Azeroth.

Less complicated answer: Because it's a texture overlaid on the skybox and they didn't bother with an animated portal effect or a background with whatever's behind Argus.

Meh, fair enough!

By the way, does anyone know if Argus is visible from Eversong or the draenei starting zones? Just curious since they are considered to be part of the 'Burning Crusade' world.

/wave to Sargeras since Argus is his vessel like Azeroth is a titan planet, would be hilarious to see 2 worlds going at each other.

I see 2 possibilities, either we fight Sargeras and Azeroth helps us or she does get corrupted like Sargeras fears and he helps us defeat her then we fight the void lords together or we uncorrupt her first then both of them help us defeat the void lords.

Or... they took the transformers idea and Argus did move in orbit past the portal and then closed.

Sofar we only have seen Legion use keystones to move ships and then the portal close behind them.
I dont get why this keystone keeps a portal open forever on a planet size scale.

It is a special one.

It is not visible from there. Having those zones in the Outland instance was always super weird, but perhaps during BC time it was the only way they could properly separate it. Tech has evolved since then, I guess.

Oh well, thanks for the information anyway!

From a story-writing point of view, it's way easier to open and close a portal without consequence than it is to place and remove a planet next to another without consequence.

I'm 99% sure we won't have that thing floating there after Legion, and I very much doubt Blizzard is going to make an event about pieces of Argus falling on us after we blow it up or whatever. Unless they're going for that "Argus is rising the tides and the naga use it to attack us" theory, I say it's just a portal.

Not the first one, either.

Is there any proof of this? If so, where is it from?

[Stacie]

Should have made it flat :P

[3DTyrant]

its just shitty fan fiction, ignore it.

Gotchya. No wonder why this is one of the first times I'm hearing of it.

[George Costanza]

This is racism against nonraiders reported

It feels pretty likely, given what we've heard about Azeroth and the implications about Argus (like the 7.2 cinematic), but I kinda hope it isn't. On one hand, this expansion IS called Legion, and having the main dude of the Legion stay alive seems strange, but on the other hand we'll have killed all the strongest lore characters from before WoW.

We always see Argus at the same spot in the skybox. Azeroth is flat.

As I understand it, you need to kill him. However, I do not know if it'll unlock for alts as well when you do. (probably not, but not impossible)

AFAIK if someone kills it, the whole server sees it.

I think what's what I read yesterday, either here on MMO-C, or WoWhead.
