    The very fact that Velen didn't recognized him is far more conclusive of the fact that Rakeesh isn't is real name.

    After all, he is the sole echo of a child we saw as an adult. Blizzard being lazy gave him the name we knew him by.

    But the whole Exodar invasion does not make sense if Velen knows who Rakeesh is.

    Well its another example of "Blizzard fucking up because they cant see consequences of their writing". They could have easily named him XXXXX with title "Velens son" or something, but instead we have this comical fuckup that made Velen name his son "butcher".

    Sorry but people ignoring the second post while triggering notifications for the older one made me slightly peeved.

    What?? Demons resurrect in the nether since before sargeras turned evil, argus just made the process faster, it has nothing to do with what happened with archimonde.

    And is not in the air, stop twisting things, is not a matter of opinion, is a settled argument because we have the word of a dev.

    You always do the same thing, twist things to try to fit your narrative.

    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.
    He is not alive, read again.

    Sorry. I wasn't ignoring it. I had started my reply before ever seeing it.

    Blizzard retcon things but saying "oh they could just retcon it in the future" is not valid because is a generic statement, you can say that about pretty much anything.

    It is valid. They have done it before. They will probably do it again to something, maybe they will leave it alone ( I hope they leave it alone) maybe they won't.

    They are much shorter than they use to, and would you prefer I not post? Or only do things that you approve of? Relax, if you like the lore, the hope is you enjoy the writing, it costs me to spend time writing it too you know, sometimes I type so quickly and in such haste I've spent too long writing and can't bear to spend the time to properly spell check. Makes me look like I don't know English properly, but for me it's a time constraint issue.

    The word of dev, which literally says: "we're not sure about this, we could change it any time." This isn't my narrative - it's not even a narrative, it's me saying "it's not conclusive, because the devs themselves said it could change - meaning there's a good chance it likely will change because why else mention it?"

    There's nothing to even twist here. Do you have some kind of issue with me personally I should know of?

    no, it says "it may or may not change in the future but right now he is dead". And present is all that matters.

    To be honest, you annoy me.

    No, he's actually saying that's the idea they were "playing with," as in it wasn't even finalized then, and isn't now (as he says it may not be canon half a dozen times in the same paragraph). He also says it's not conveyed in-game, which is probably why it's not canon. I think you've assumed an objective statement where the developer is more or less at pains to establish there isn't one. It's pretty much as open as you can get.

    You're welcome to your opinion, I suppose. We'll know for sure if they ever opt to dig Archimonde up from the proverbial cooler.

    ... Considering it's their story to tell, yes, I found it "believable".

    But I also don't believe it's been defeated. I am glad they didn't devote an entire expansion to Argus, for sure. Was so tired of demons and fel green at the end of Legion.

    when he says "playing with", he is referring to a time before they created that boss fight and when he says "is not conveyed in-game" he is refering that the game doesnt clearly show what happened, which is true, this thread proves it, but he is dead, thats what the dev said.

    The Legion isn't 100% defeated. The Burning Crusade has ended but there are still countless demons out there. So while the war is over, the soldiers are still out there.

    The cloud was gathering throughout the raid if you looked up. While we were focused on Argus, the two-way portal was spewing hundreds of Legion ships and a slow drip of Sargeras's essence through it, smothering the planet. Judging by the cutscene, he was about 3/4 formed when the titans pulled him off the planet.

    So yeah, Azeroth was a little busy while we were gone.

    I mean.i believed it after 7.3 showed us how little control the Legion has over Argus. Turns out just not as scary as we thought
