    It's possible his entire body and essence is sacrificed itself, negating Sargeras' use of Fel against the Pantheon, and that's how he's helping. Considering that's what they were weak to. They could have pulled some bullshit Kerrigan thing where the Pantheon elevates him to their level and that's how he's doing it.
    The implication of the closing text as I read it was that Illidan was physically standing guard over the prison as its warden - not as host to Sargeras' essence or anything, but more empowered by the Pantheon's might to contend with Sargeras essentially forever to prevent him from leaving the Seat of the Pantheon. To achieve that basically both Illidan and the Pantheon have to be sealed away, leaving Azeroth as the sole Titan world-soul left in the physical universe - and, inadvertently, placing her directly in the sights of the Void as the final prize to turn the tide in the future Light vs. Shadow war.

    Yup, pretty much.

    There's a Illidan shaped lock. And they shove him in there and lock the place, killing Illidan in the process.

    I find it quite ironic that the titans say Azeroth is the final titan despite the fact they merely explored a small pocket of space.

    I have no idea what Netherlight does, but it looks cool, lol.

    Well I assume there's the "that we know of" unspoken qualifier in there. It would also make strategic sense for the Void to focus its attention on the already compromised world-soul it knows about, especially now that all the elder and great powers of the universe like the Titans have been conveniently sealed away. If I were a Void Lord I would personally keep seeding the universe with Old Gods as well - as long as it doesn't require expenditures of energy that would compromise a full-on assault on Azeroth proper. Best not to put all one's eggs in a single proverbial basket.

    Is there something stating the Void only knows what the Pantheon knows?

    The void didn't have a clue, which is why they hauled old gods at random into the universe, they might have learned of other titans or not.

    So the assumption that Azeroth is the only compromised world-soul they know about is inaccurate. They could already have world-souls in their sights beyond Azeroth with a whole host of other types of minions pouring out of them with entire other old gods we don't know about, yeah?

    Pretty much, might be also why Xal'atath mocks our "little" conflict.

    Sorry if I am retarded and missed something, but do we know for certain that whatever remains of Sargeras resides on Argus ? I just assumed that where KJ would have opertaed from and Srageras would have operated from Nihilum.

    I listed to the Aman'Thul VO and he says somethign about Argus becoming the prison of the pantheon and Sargeras, and I was just trying to recall whether at any point we are told Argus is defo where Sargeras is chillin.

    Considering Sargeras "fills the sky" after we beat Argus the Unmaker, I would guess that he wasnt originally on Argus.

Not to mention that our newest information about the titans before this patch had them too dead to even do something like this as spirits (unless we gathered up the people who had their spirits in them maybe, but we don't), so it's really coming out of left field for me.

    I mean, the details of the cutscene could certainly alleviate that, but having the last boss of the Legion be a new character and Sargeras being dealt with entirely in a cutscene sounds more anticlimactic to me than half the ideas I'd read on the forums. Though, again, the main reason I came here is because it currently feels like there's a gap between the despairing dialogue and the victory dialogue, although I guess that's likely to just be covered by the cutscene.
    I mean we've been getting into conflucts bigger than ourselves for awhile. We where weaker than the lich king, we needed 4 aspects to fight one.

    Its not a deux ex machina if the plot , and story behind it showed it as the only possibility. A deux ex isthe gods coming out of nowhere and fixing a problem they dont care about.

    Sargeras has ALWAYS been the titans problem. OUR story has always been azeroth. Sargeras has always been an ominous threat off screen and in the history books.

    ( not saying you cant be disappointed. Just that this is probably where we've been headed for years
    Romance doesnt detract from a story. Its a Genre, like horror or comedy or adventure. The game was ruined when we got Horror in drustvar or nazmir. It wasnt ruined when we had funny quests. So if you think a little man on man love ruins the game, then yes you are either a homophobe or just a spoil sport that goes "ewww kissing is yucky" like a baby. Furthermore, if a character has never expressed interest in any gender, then its not proof they are straight. straight people are not the default

    sounds reasonable. that should be in front of each and every raid tbh.

    Generally the Antoran Wastes area is no picnic. Densely populated and very complex terrain that will make flight-obsessed people rant.
    wonderful.

    cant wait for the next 20 threads about how 7.3 and the rest of legion sucks because someone cant use their feet.

    And if it does, what happens? Our planet dies or is thrown off like a placenta or what?
    It would take an extremely long period of time for this to happen. But when it did happen, more likely than not the catastrophic effect of Azeroth's metamorphosis into becoming a Titan would destroy everything on Azeroth.

    But hey, I am just assuming.

    Cool, let's bring up topics that have nothing to do with the thread in an attempt to derail it and whine about people being able to fly.

    I doubt anyone will be complaining about being unable to fly on Argus, and if you think people will, you clearly do not understand the issues people have with no flying. Zones like Stormheim and Highmountain are nightmarish to traverse on foot and participating in content such as Archeology is horrible because of the time it takes to go from point A to B, trying to find whether or not going to a flight path is more efficient and so on.

    Argus won't have these issues. If people get stunned off their mount, they'll get off and kill the mobs. A random stun sounds a lot less painful than the infinitely charging tauren on the Timeless Isle, and yet people weren't complaining about not being able to fly there either.

    I mean seriously, it feels like the flying haters get more riled about about flying than the people who actually want it do.

    You made several quips, but if you want to drop it then I absolutely encourage it and won't touch the subject further. Fair enough!

    As for your question, the front page on MMO-champ links a blue saying yes, but the last I checked the PTR was a nightmare of lag, crashes, and graphical glitches of the likes I've never seen before. I do not know if that has been fixed.

    Is the WoW map viewer still a thing? I wonder if the Argus raid is in the data files at all.
