    "You telling me archimonde throwing guldan throu the portal is not canon, even thou it led to the entire legion expansion? :P

    Even the mythic version had the archimonde death on draenor cinematic in the end!"

    He fell in the Nether, and he died in a Fel saturated area that was linked with the Nether. So, yes. He's dead...

    Was too easy too fast, victory too guaranteed.

    It would have been a different case if new alts started at 100 and the class quests were an actual continuous campaign.

    Such wouldn't work if you had to level from 1 to110 just to experience the other class quest where that content is just a minor variation of the one you've had.

    Woudl be a totally different story if it was a well presented intresting campaign, and you ahd the shadwolands type levelling path.

    Everybody losing their mind over Archimonde. Meanwhile, I'm still miffed that Rakeesh wasn't used more and truly died because he brought one fel-infused mecha which didn't even explode !

    Given the revelations in Legion regarding Antorus and the use of the World-Soul of Argus to empower demonic resurrection, it's more an open guess as ever as to the "true death" of Archimonde if you ask me. I think the most suitable answer is "we don't know." He could be well and truly dead, or he could be in the Twisting Nether licking his wounds.

    I said it before and i will say it again, we are dealing with Schrödinger's Archimonde, we can't tell for sure until we open the box.

    Basically the same box that contained Sargeras until Legion, yes.

    We were in the nether, but even the mythic version of the fight shows us the cinematic of him dying on draenor, and he never reaches 0%. And given that him throwing guldan throu that portal led to the entire Legion expansion im pretty confident that the cinematic is canon.

    they have? How did they spinn that? Given that we did have a legion expansion, that cinematic feels kinda set in stone as canon.

    You got a source?
    I posted a source in page 3 of this thread.

    The most suitable answer is the word of a dev. Not your headcanon.

    What can you expect from someone who was named "butcher" by his loving father.

    Given that the Devs have already said his fate is open to speculation, that's really all we have. So it goes.

    I can tell you our idea behind that. We might change it. This might not be canon. This might be something that we decide we're gonna tinker with. I'll try and explain what the thinking was. The idea was that the demons in the Burning Legion, they're kind of immortal in that they can exist across all the planes, unless they're killed in the actual Twisting Nether itself. So killing Archimonde at the World Tree in Warcraft 3... well, he was killed on Azeroth, but he would re-coalesce in the Twisting Nether and come back to haunt us again. And the idea was if you played in Mythic and defeated Archimonde, you actually defeated him in the Nether and that he'd be dead dead for good. That was the idea that we played with. We tried to explain that and I don't know if... that certainly doesn't come across in-game because it's not necessarily explained in-game. Maybe we'll change that. Maybe we'll change the canon of that. But that was the idea that we were working with... was unless you rip these demons out and take them to the Twisting Nether and kill them there, they'll always keep coming back. But maybe that's not canon. Maybe we'll tinker with that idea. (Source)

    He is saying that MAY BE they will reconsider archimonde's fate in the future but right now he is dead and considering he is speaking of retconning the whole "demons die permanently in the twisting nether" which is obviuslly not going to happen, i wouldnt keep my hopes up. Even the guys at wowpedia list archimonde as dead.

    This was the position *before* we learned about Argus and its effect on demonic resurrection - how it intersects with Archimonde, if it does at all, is an unknown. If you think it's conclusive then that's fine - I don't. But again, it's pretty much up in the air either way, and as stated they could reverse course at any time even if it is concluded he's definitely dead.

    With that in mind could we say that if he is alive he may either end up freeing Sargeras or try to take Sargeras's spot as the leader of the burning legion? That would be really interesting either way I think.

    And before you say that its just so we can recognize him, every other echo of known demon uses their pre-legion name.

    Rakeesh is a name he chose when he became Sargerei. Remember in the instance where you fight him with Velen, he didn't even know who he was until it was too late. Exarch Orthaar changes his name to Socrethar when he turns. Most of them do, with the primary exclusions of Kil'jaeden, Archimonde and a scant few others.

    Yeah, yeah. I thin that is more for gameplay reasons than anything. Since they never say what his original name was. I wouldn't put too much stock into that.

    Didn't see that until after I replied, but that said are you always this abrasive? Because that kind of response makes me more want to say "go fuck yourself" than give you any more of my time.
