What do you mean fight Ragnaros? I already did. I kicked his ass. Cenarius helped me!

[DariusMDeV]

And Malfurion too, and some useless Tauren was there too but he didn't do much. The 3 of use kicked his ass! Why do I have to go back?

[grieves]

you didn't kick his ass, you only pushed him back to the elemental plane, just like back in mc, he can only be truly killed in his own realm

[Calzaeth]

Every night, as I go to bed, I ask the night:

"When, oh Nightmother, will people start reading the damn quest text?"

And every night, I fall asleep with laughter in my ears.

[kortin]

Edit: Misread the topic. We didn't kill him, we made sure he didnt destroy the world when he planned to. SETBACKS ABOUND!!

[Dubzil]

I always ask the night when they will just make the quest boxes a big next button with no text, then just get the arrow to point you in a direction to collect xp/gold

Now that he has legs he can kick your ass right back!

[Juicy]

Because it was merely a setback.

Wanna go?

some useless Tauren

No. Hamuul Runetotem is definitely not, "useless."

[Frozenbeef]

what happens to shamans earth elemental pets if they die in deepholme

[Culexus]

I would answer you: Read the damn quest texts. Pay attention to the damn story and you would know that you defeated him but he wasnt killed and that you didnt fight him at his full power.

He is in comparison to Knaaked Malfurion.

Anyone compared to anything "Knaaked" is useless. They all shit fireballs and time-travel-raptorarmy-mary-sue their way to victory.

Quick question: Since Blizzard has to approve of anything Knaak writes about Azeroth anyway, why do everyone refer to him as though he made all the big decisions?

Cus his style of writing is akin to that of a 13 year old. In addition, the books by that Christine lady arent nearly as bad and they are also approved by blizz.

We have gone horribly off topic.

This is true, worse comes to worse we could feed the steaks carved from his back to at least an entire division of Alliance troops.

I think Blizz just looks at the overall storyline to make sure it fits. So there's still a lot of room for Knaaking to happen.

OT: If you listen to them after you kill him in Hyjal....they say something about just pushing him back into his realm.

[Powell]

people still seem amazed by this?
remember, 80% of the players in WoW only use about 2% of their brain capacity while playing. Being reading, fighting or watching the bloody AoEs.

[mordale]

ok here is the cheese on beings that aren't supposed to be on this plane.
they can't generally get here on their own, most often someone needs to make a portal,rift in the veil that protects azeroth, or be directly summoned.

portals are tricky in that they can only bear a certain load of power at at time, thus why sargeras couldn't come through the same portal and the rest of the legion.

rifts are unstable and rare(generally) and often aren't open for long as the veil is quick tp repair its self, but allow for unfettered movement to azeroth.

summons are by far the most precarious of ways of entities to enter azeroth, as they generally must be maintained by a foci. if the foci is destroyed of the spell disrupted the being will be cast back to their home realm/world.

also a summoned being will generally be weakened to an equal lvl of the power put into the summoning spell, thus why Ragnaros was far weaker when we fought him in mc(summoned by a handful of dwarves) and hyjal(summoned by Deathwing) then when we will fight him in the firelands.

there is your lore explanation for the day.

Malfurion though has been consistently portrayed as both extremely powerful and wise, ever since his initial appearance in Warcraft 3. It sucks when a character is "perfect", but while Malfurion makes mistakes (like banishing Illidan), he's just one old, righteous leader who's doing his best.

Waiting for the moment when all this Cataclysm mess is dealt with, so that he can look at Ashenvale, say his "that angers me greatly" and sweep the Horde back to the Barrens in a torrent of uberpowered-up treants from hell.

EDIT: as for Ragnaros, up until recently any elemental being summoned to Azeroth was "anchored" in the world by a pair of bracers that appear on them upon summoning (look at Raggy, he has them too). When they are defeated, they aren't killed - it's more like the "anchors" give way and fall to the ground, and the being is spirited away back to their home plane (only recently, with the Cataclysm weakening the boundaries between the planes, summoning/creation of elementals in their "unbound" form became possible).

When you beat rags, he's just going home and he'll keep coming back. With the boundaries weakening he came back and took his chance with Hyjal, and was repelled back to where he was. We need to follow him and leave a horse's head on his pillow in his Firelands dacha or he'll never get the message.
