WoW: Extinction, the Void Lords break through the realm barrier and consume Azeroth, their ensuing fight with the Titans, including Sargeras, wipes out everything in the universe.
Man, not only does it tug at the nostalgic memories of all the time you’ve spent there, but it shows the trivial futility of those low-scale, endless conflicts when compared to the cosmic-level threats sitting just out of sight at any given moment. I found myself feeling sad for every last person and creature there. What a moving video! Amazing job!!
I felt sad for the exact same reason. All those wars and fights you were a part of, either implied by lore or actually through PvP... invalidated by shitty writing where they couldn't keep it in their pants, and had to reveal the entire fucking universe and all its mysteries. Instead of just writing a good story in a medieval fantasy world... Garbage. Great video though.
I wouldn't call the Silithid "low-scale" as far as threats go. They're essentially old-god servants. Wouldn't be surprised if Sargeras aimed at Silithus intentionally to wipe them out.
Beautifully realized. In game it feels like the loss of life was just brushed off, but this captured it perfectly. Wish the actual world was reacting more to silithus being decimated.
I looked it up - Kilauea's lava is 1000 C+, shuttle re-entry measured 5000 C+ just past the tile protection (there's an air cushion effect), so take it from there. P.S. Shuttles re-entered slowly, compared to most.
Blizzard messed up by not having an ingame massive pvp event in silithus with a countdown as well as the sword slowly falling. Abit like ffxiv with the calamity
@@agakath In their defense, most of what Legion did was great. It's just they immediately shat the bed afterwards with BfA and... ugh... Shadowlands. I had a hell of a time playing Legion. I even got into PvP a bit for some transmog and while I didn't love it, as I HATE PvP, I enjoyed it well enough for how rewarding it was in terms of cosmetics. Though if I had one teensy tiny little complaint, it'd be how I had to buy _AN ENTIRE FUCKING ENSEMBLE JUST SO I COULD GET THAT ONE LAST COSMETIC PIECE I NEVER MANAGED TO GET DURING BATTLEGROUNDS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BUY THEM INDIVIDUALLY ANYMORE._
Yeah...I assumed this was Blizzard until I read the comments. I read the title too fast and didn't look at who made it. He made a really good demon hunter one too. Which I also mistook for Blizzard until I saw the account name. -.-
They should add something similiar, as you could see what happened to everyone during our siege in antorus when sargeras stabs silithus. Or yeah just put this up with his permissions.
Really? I do admit that Blizzard kind of glossed over the fact that there were indeed people living in Silithus, and we mostly got that *phew* sensation and felt lucky the sword hit such a barren and desolate place. This is a really good showing of how the sword did in fact kill a bunch of people. However, I can't say that I agree with Blizzard doing a poor job of showing the tragedy of the night elves in the burning of Teldrassil. The quest where you have to save, I think it was 100 or 1000 people (?) but it's absolutely impossible in the given time frame was, in my opinion, an amazing way of seeing and feeling the tragedy.
@Zerebrat Eightyseven yes it was soo hard!! I felt so bad when I only managed to get 20-25 :'( I didn't know it was timed so I took a really fast break before heading into rescue mode xD
Dennis Dubose the cinematic for legion was different from their in-game cinematics. They make ONE for every expansion. I'm saying their in-game ones aren't as good as this one, and tbh they aren't. No one is lying.
Antonio Are you talking about the cinematics like Gul'dan defeat etc? Because those are way better than this. If you're talking in-game in-game, then yeah, duh, this is better. Those cinematics aren't edited really.
Caius Juvonen Illidan defeating Gul'dan is not as good as this. They hardly even have lighting in that one. This one has lighting, custom facial reactions, and blood. Blizzard has never had blood before, or at least from the ones I've seen. And they have cool camera angle changes like when it went from the blood elf to the night elf. Blizzard hasn't done that yet. But it is just my opinion, at the end of the day. Edit: look at the detail on the sword at 1:51. How can you say Blizz has done better than this? It looks frikin real! Blizzard's always look like the 2004 graphics.
Might as well control the one thing you can: How you react to your own death. "Fuck it" was both amazing and dramatic but I couldn't help laughing at the end because it was just so....IRL human. Nailed it.
The part when the night elf shoots the blood elf and the sword hit Azeroth is breath taking this is so amazing I can’t even explain how awesomely talented this guys is
That and the Human warrior running and excepting his fate lets the flames take him at 2:15 was just as great as the Blood Elf and Night Elf. Too bad this isn't in the game would of made that patch cinematic SO much better.
I'll be honest, my motivation to play wow at the moment is at an all-time low. This video though, reminded me of my first days of wow. Playing a game and embarking into a world that was so big and had such limitless potential. Thanks IK, for renewing those feelings even if it might be just for the moment
Yeah no this has little to do with the early days of creeping dungeons and raids being the oddity. It looks like a lived in world though. gotta give him that.
Bartoc that comment was spot on. After all these years of playing, sometimes I wonder why I keep going. So many of my family and friends have stopped and my original guild that I had so much fun with has long been gone, but I keep thinking somehow, someway, some day I can get that feeling back. But you're right, it likely never will come back.
You made me feel bad for the silithids. I mean, you always fight and kill them without a second thought, but when it comes down to it they're just simple animals. Seeing them running for their lives but having absolutely no chance to survive felt a bit too real.
They are only beast without any personnality, on the chess they are only poin, but they are like ant or wasp or any insect soceity they are a comon spirit
You told the side of this story in a way I didn't think of. This wound destroyed more than I cared to think about. You really humanized it for me. Thank you.
np :) hf and enjoy this Extro of World of Warcraft ... for me WOW ( from WC3) ended with the defeat of Sargeras ..now its loke WOW 2.0 we even began to get each other as enemys ...its a REBOOT and the Snapcount in this reason is even more fitting .... you can say the CLOCK START when the Snapcount ENDS !
After almost 2 year i can say that this video is already iconic When i think about the end of legion expansion i imagine that human dying in the flame not Sargeras ora something else
This video is very powerful, when I first saw the news about Silithus destroyed, I was like “a 10 year old zone with like 15 boring quests, on settlement and creepy insects getting destroyed? Well, better destroying this shithole than some beautiful zones”, but now I really feel bad for everyone who died in silithus, even though there were not many. The moments when sword hits the earth and when a soldier accepts his death are very strong, and makes feel sad for them, and even for silithids. RIP to all cenarion druids, warriors, adventurers, silithid, and qiraji who were unlucky to be in Silithus during battle for Antorus. Also, Blizzard should hire you, these machinimas are amazing.
Exactly, the thing is not about if the cinematic is good or not, (which I personally think is awesome). It's about a moment we knew already happened but this shows this last moment of the old and known Silithus and the last breath of people there. It's really sad. When I first came to silithus I couldn't stop wondering what have happend with the living beings who used to be there.
@ 1:45 when that Elf looked to the sky in her moment of dying, one wonders what the last thing going through her mind was, seeing the end for everything probably in a 20+ mile radius. Between the somber music and no dialogue it really captures the despair and hopelessness of the situation that nothing in the area will survive this attack on their world. In general when everyone looks at this all I can think is if I were there, it would appear that the sun is falling and there's nothing that can be done to stop it. I wonder if this is along the lines of what the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki saw when Little Boy and Fat Man were dropped on them.
...there just are not words. this was amazing on so many levels. this seriously should be ingame. magni should show you this after explaining that the cost of victory was really friggin high that day. while you where patting yourself on the back and collecting your loot this was happening down below. brutal and somehow tragicly beautiful. I salute you. o7

@@Kyletheskulldude7 I love how it only wiped out one zone - An impact like that would have destroyed the entire continent and damaged most of the world.
@@banjothefox9263 the asteroid that cause the mass extinction of the dinosaurs was around 10-15 kilometres wide, so yeah the sword should of just destroyed most of the planet, the atmosphere? It’s gone, all life probably down to microscopic levels would of been extinct, but thankfully Azeroth has Lay lines, and magic, and eldritch gods, and guys like Medivh who are probably planet busters at full power
I always HATED the creepy silithid. Killed hundreds of them myself. But there was something about seeing then flee for their lives, desperately trying to cling to life and so afraid, that made you feel for them and want to save them.
The music you used for the video ( from the movie Interstellar) just makes it even more special and thrilling. Specially the first one (Mountains) with the clock ticking to put more importance to the devastation that is about to come, simply amazing. Blizzard, hire this guy!
Best machinima ever. I wish you'd make the burning of Teldrassil like this... The scene when the Blood elf looks up after being shot then everything is obliterated is just.. breathtaking
Yeah I mean I get the human embracing the flames is cool but can we talk about the Blood Elf looking up at the sky after being shot? THAT WAS AMAZINGGGG
I loved that a bit more then the guy dying by flame but I want them both as screenshots, please tell me someone actually saved these as screenshots so I can use em'?!
it was meant to show how irrelevant the conflict between the 2 factions really is compared to things like sargeras. it didnt matter who won the fight between the 2, it didnt matter that the blood elf lost and died, because a mere second later, everything there burned to ash.
This right here, has to be the best WOW fan made cinematic I’ve ever seen. The moment when the blood elf got shot and looked to the sky as the sword came down was very powerful it had me crying. The feeling of hopelessness when such a thing strikes is really powerful and you captured it extremely well here.
dude this is absolutely god damn amazing. that end clip was seriously heart breaking though! that dude just running and then just accepted it. wild. you're an absolute boss at making these.
This is perhaps the best WoW video ever made! Ok, the music is awesome even without the image, but what I truly love about this video is that it brings WoW back to when it was really great. Back to where the players were one among many, tiny compared to the overwhelming world. Not this crap where each character is a damn CHAMPION of everything.
The thing I love most about this, is the attention to detail. Look at how the people start to burn before the fire even reaches them, simply because of the immense heat that's being pushed forward. This was amazing.
While in game wise for the current wow timeline, it would be dozens at the outpost at most and maybe a few hundred silithid. I don't think the horde or alliance had much purpose there after the war of the shifting sands. Especially with the threat of the legion any remaining forces would be reduced to skeleton crews. I find some appeal in carrying things forward which the game doesn't do so well.
In lore everything is bigger than in game. The horde and alliance have no reason to be there, but the cenarion circle would for sure be trying to bring life back to the land, and the twilight's hammer is still there in large numbers. Hundreds at least.
My favorite thing you do is capture the moments of activity going on at any given time in a zone. Making the world feel alive as all these things are happening at the same time. In your Demonhunter video when we see sweeping shots of the Tauren in the snow and the Forsaken climbing the Zeppelin tower before the invasion had my jaw dropping to the floor!
Édouard Manche you don't only need to be good, you need to work FAST AND GOOD and you need to follow other's ideas in cinematic making, its not working alone man and making one cinematic per week, you have tons to do and you are not free like alone, its a job
Beautifully done, haunting cinematic. "...and _that_ is why you _don't_ keep fighting each other in ultimately petty wars." - J. Walter Weatherman "Uhhhh, derp... what dat mean? Let's punch each udder in da face more." - Horde and Alliance
Absolutely amazing. Seeing the sword stab from Azeroth's view is something I've wanted to see ever since the Antorus Cinematic. Makes you wonder though.... couldn't they see the red smoke covering the world like we saw in the raid? Wouldn't they hear the titan yell "Nooo" and see his face in the sky? And wouldn't that impact carry over and shake the world? Not to undermine your work, but I think Blizzard really is understating how terrifying this would be to the world, and your video certainly helps with this, but I think there's a more terrifying doom and gloom cinematic you could make. Again, terrific work, can't wait to see what else you do
TBF Sargeras the giant space god is one of the sillier things to see visually. He was always better as a big looming threat everyone knew was out there but couldn't quite reach us yet. I like that the viewpoint used here avoided him and focused on the Sword.
I think the maker of this video has a better grasp of the effect this would have on azeroth, then blizzard could ever have. That sword going into the planet like that would be way more of a cataclysmic event than anything a dragon could have done.
Kind of arrogant to say Blizzard doesn't understand the effect it would have. Problem is creating another Cataclysm change to go with the stabbing would have been a shit ton of effort and probably wouldn't be well received. Much like a lot of the first Cataclysm's changes.
Then they shouldnt have done it!!! You want us to believe a dragon throwimg a tantrum across the planet is more devastating and would have longer lasting effects than a giant ass sword being plunged half way through the planet, and only one small area was effected? My point is, and arrogance has nothing to do with it, though your assumption is the only arrogance here btw, is the author of this video has shown us that this event has had a devastating effect, all blizzard gave us was a poor excuse for a quest that showed us a zone they , sorta, re worked. Id have rather them spent the time they put into this crap re work of a zone in silithus, into giving us a better expansion with bfa! And a more believable ending to antorus! I mean i get it, its a fantasy game and all, but there is still a degree of physics they have put into this game, that they themselves should abide by.
You were saying the maker of the vid has a better grasp of what happens for something like this which is an arrogant assumption to make as you are assuming that noone in the cinematic or development team knows the effect of what's basically a localized deep impact. As for that dragon you keep dismissing, he was at that destruction for several weeks. It wasn't a small effort on his part. And that same dragon had Titan-gifted powers over of the earth of Azeroth. Given he had more time to use his powers as opposed to Sargeras who was starting to be contained, yeah the damage is going to be higher. As for physics, the problem with trying hold Azeroth to regular physics is in some cases physics are outright broken. Outland should be an airless bunch of rubble floating through space, but it somehow maintains not only an atmosphere but apparently multiple stable biomes. Azeroth itself has scaling problem out the ass, most of the world has utterly bullshit geography (burning desert badlands right next door to snowy biomes) and multiple elemental planes that will collapse in on the world if a very special rock isn't in place. *is the author of this video has shown us that this event has had a devastating effect, all blizzard gave us was a poor excuse for a quest that showed us a zone they , sorta, re worked. Id have rather them spent the time they put into this crap re work of a zone in silithus, into giving us a better expansion with bfa! And a more believable ending to antorus!* I'm honestly confused as to what kind of ending you wanted for Antorus. And the amount of work going into BFA likely wasn't effected too much by this...you know video game companies have multiple development teams internally. The team that wrote the story and developed the raids for isn't the same one that works on the next expac. Patches are typically done by smaller internal teams that'll use pre-prepared assets and mechanics for content patches. Also one of the reasons Argus was Broken Shore 2.0 (Oh the joys of navigating that "lovely" place) with a new and grand skybox.

The moments when sword hits the earth and when a soldier accepts his death are very strong, and makes feel sad for them, and even for silithids.
RIP to all cenarion druids, warriors, adventurers, silithid, and qiraji who were unlucky to be in Silithus during battle for Antorus.
Also, Blizzard should hire you, these machinimas are amazing.
Скорпирон Прост this is soo good that made us care about a 13 years old dead zone that nobody liked. The person who created this really is an artist
Exactly, the thing is not about if the cinematic is good or not, (which I personally think is awesome). It's about a moment we knew already happened but this shows this last moment of the old and known Silithus and the last breath of people there. It's really sad. When I first came to silithus I couldn't stop wondering what have happend with the living beings who used to be there.
Скорпирон Прост lol silithus was dalaran back in the days.. Main point on map.. How can you say boring...
George FungShroom Exactly, it was. No one cares about Silithus since BC
1wrtc Can you say it in English or Russian pls?
12/10, this is incredible. I'm absolutely speechless.

Warcraft Music and Gaming graphics looked like shit though, would have been cool if they made it look like the other cinematic.
@ 1:45 when that Elf looked to the sky in her moment of dying, one wonders what the last thing going through her mind was, seeing the end for everything probably in a 20+ mile radius. Between the somber music and no dialogue it really captures the despair and hopelessness of the situation that nothing in the area will survive this attack on their world. In general when everyone looks at this all I can think is if I were there, it would appear that the sun is falling and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.
I wonder if this is along the lines of what the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki saw when Little Boy and Fat Man were dropped on them.
This is unreal, this is funtastic, this is what we want to see - wow fans
"Nothing good has ever come out of Silithus" well now something has. *This machinima.*
...there just are not words. this was amazing on so many levels. this seriously should be ingame. magni should show you this after explaining that the cost of victory was really friggin high that day. while you where patting yourself on the back and collecting your loot this was happening down below. brutal and somehow tragicly beautiful. I salute you. o7
This is one of those rare WoW cinematics that really reminds you of why it's a fantastic game. Thank you for the video!
This video is honestly amazing. The amount of time that has gone into it really deserves all popularity it can get. I hope to see more of this.

I love how no one in game ever mentions how many people must have died from this
I love how no one in game mentions the giant sword sticking out the ground 2 years later.
@@Kyletheskulldude7 I love how it only wiped out one zone - An impact like that would have destroyed the entire continent and damaged most of the world.
@@banjothefox9263 Magic
@@banjothefox9263 the asteroid that cause the mass extinction of the dinosaurs was around 10-15 kilometres wide, so yeah the sword should of just destroyed most of the planet, the atmosphere? It’s gone, all life probably down to microscopic levels would of been extinct, but thankfully Azeroth has Lay lines, and magic, and eldritch gods, and guys like Medivh who are probably planet busters at full power
@Morgen Profit Well, we will most certainly find out in Shadowlands after all they were used to power the Maw and all part of the plan....../wink wink

The title of the music when the sword starts falling
Dude thank you so much! :)
You have saved the internet
you have saved my night, thank you!
Gawd damn, the sheer emotion behind the video is overwhelming
I've always been For the Horde, but the human accepting his fate and going out in peace at the end was awesome. Great work!
The poor little silithid running for their lives :(
its an interesting and powerful message, to see something we think of as evil fleeing for its life.
The only good bug is a dead bug.
~StarShip Troopers
I always HATED the creepy silithid. Killed hundreds of them myself. But there was something about seeing then flee for their lives, desperately trying to cling to life and so afraid, that made you feel for them and want to save them.
@@brendanhighway1376 Yeah right, like seeeing the Jurassic Park T-Rex concede it before Blue intervention.
Quintin Smith bahahahaha
The trailer was "Naaaaaaaah" , But this is "Woaaaaaah" .
Dude, awesome
The music you used for the video ( from the movie Interstellar) just makes it even more special and thrilling. Specially the first one (Mountains) with the clock ticking to put more importance to the devastation that is about to come, simply amazing. Blizzard, hire this guy!
I need more Warcraft videos from you! This is just sooooo goood!!!
Between him and Hurricane they could even make an honest attempt at a proper film.
Best machinima ever. I wish you'd make the burning of Teldrassil like this...
The scene when the Blood elf looks up after being shot then everything is obliterated is just.. breathtaking
Yeah I mean I get the human embracing the flames is cool but can we talk about the Blood Elf looking up at the sky after being shot? THAT WAS AMAZINGGGG
I feel that arrow, poor rogue D:
I loved that a bit more then the guy dying by flame but I want them both as screenshots, please tell me someone actually saved these as screenshots so I can use em'?!
Insane Crazyman go leanback mode for TH-cam, pause at the points you want screenshotted, click the screen to remove clutter, voila
The nelf must have seen the sword in front of her, too. She was getting that kill, damn it, apocalypse or no.
it was meant to show how irrelevant the conflict between the 2 factions really is compared to things like sargeras.
it didnt matter who won the fight between the 2, it didnt matter that the blood elf lost and died, because a mere second later, everything there burned to ash.
Just STUNNING.. Fan-freaking-tastic dude !!!!!
couldn't agree more, major kudos to the artist responsible
he bubbled
Did anyone told you, you look like hitman
This right here, has to be the best WOW fan made cinematic I’ve ever seen. The moment when the blood elf got shot and looked to the sky as the sword came down was very powerful it had me crying.
The feeling of hopelessness when such a thing strikes is really powerful and you captured it extremely well here.
the blood elf death animation is so well employed here
martin luc I wholeheartedly agree.
2:15 , the human warrior accepting his fate is quite amazing.
That's the only thing dps warriors are good at
Holy! The emotion in this is flawless executed. Seeing videos like this inspires the living shit out of me to pick up After Effects again
dude this is absolutely god damn amazing.
that end clip was seriously heart breaking though! that dude just running and then just accepted it.
wild.
you're an absolute boss at making these.
This guy made better storyline in this video than whole Blizzard in all BFA videos. Great job!
Fantastic, cinematic, emotional.
Still gets to me all these years, still so freaking good!!
I have only one word for this: epic.
Great job!!!
They say he could destroy an entire zone with one stab
Yes, it's TheSargeras27
Oh god, not this again...
Most perfect cinematic I have ever seen, graphics and soundtrack. Absolute perfection! Reminds me of the good old days of WoW.
the human at 2:15 broke my heart a bit.
He t-posed ut in style
dont worry he will res at the nearest graveyard
@@bobmichon6277 no res for you when you are turned to ash.
He'll just respawn lol.
Great work, I love that ticking clock through the start its great setup for the well imagined catastrophe that is to follow.
This video, with the music, feels like fewer dream
0:40 "Ah, what a wonderful view. Too bad I can't see."
Years later, this is still the most powerful cinematic about WoW I have ever encountered, ingame or otherwise.
There is something oddly satisfying about the purging fire.
This is perhaps the best WoW video ever made! Ok, the music is awesome even without the image, but what I truly love about this video is that it brings WoW back to when it was really great. Back to where the players were one among many, tiny compared to the overwhelming world. Not this crap where each character is a damn CHAMPION of everything.
I would love see IKedit make one of these scenes for the burning of Teldrassil
The thing I love most about this, is the attention to detail. Look at how the people start to burn before the fire even reaches them, simply because of the immense heat that's being pushed forward.
This was amazing.
ok....you are a Living Legend.-
Awesome video dude. U made me cry =(
Aaaaaah só pq eu ia te pedir para fazer um react
All of these years later, this is still my favorite fan made video.
And in one blow Sargeras killed thousands.
While in game wise for the current wow timeline, it would be dozens at the outpost at most and maybe a few hundred silithid. I don't think the horde or alliance had much purpose there after the war of the shifting sands. Especially with the threat of the legion any remaining forces would be reduced to skeleton crews. I find some appeal in carrying things forward which the game doesn't do so well.
Impact wise it would kill other people in the surrounding zones. Blizzard probably won't play into that though.
In lore everything is bigger than in game. The horde and alliance have no reason to be there, but the cenarion circle would for sure be trying to bring life back to the land, and the twilight's hammer is still there in large numbers. Hundreds at least.
Imagine if whenever someone kills Argus in your realm, the sword drops from the skies and kills everyone in those areas instantly.
Faith
This needs to be implemented NOW!! Similar to Deathwing randomly engulfing a zone in fire back in Cata.
This should have been a vision from Magni
My favorite thing you do is capture the moments of activity going on at any given time in a zone. Making the world feel alive as all these things are happening at the same time. In your Demonhunter video when we see sweeping shots of the Tauren in the snow and the Forsaken climbing the Zeppelin tower before the invasion had my jaw dropping to the floor!
2:15 respectable :D
If you don't get hired by blizzard just from this fan project they're doing something wrong. Really good stuff man. My god.
Blizzard doesn't hire people who are good at what they do.
they do :)
Sedesla Sedeslarson Hurricane has been hired go check his trailer of naxxramas
Well I'll be damned there's hope for them yet.
Édouard Manche you don't only need to be good, you need to work FAST AND GOOD and you need to follow other's ideas in cinematic making, its not working alone man and making one cinematic per week, you have tons to do and you are not free like alone, its a job
I still can’t believe it! The sword in Azeroth is FINALLY being addressed at long last! ❤
Beautifully done, haunting cinematic.

"Uhhhh, derp... what dat mean? Let's punch each udder in da face more." - Horde and Alliance
Holy shit! THATS an entry cinematic after Sargeras defeat!
This video has so much emotions and hard work
I've never felt so bad for the silithid before. Dem feels!
Best part was when the human running from the fire looks over his shoulder and resigns himself to his fate
that one guy at the end gets me every time
its a fkn game, why am i crying
Absolutely amazing. Seeing the sword stab from Azeroth's view is something I've wanted to see ever since the Antorus Cinematic.
Makes you wonder though.... couldn't they see the red smoke covering the world like we saw in the raid? Wouldn't they hear the titan yell "Nooo" and see his face in the sky? And wouldn't that impact carry over and shake the world?
Not to undermine your work, but I think Blizzard really is understating how terrifying this would be to the world, and your video certainly helps with this, but I think there's a more terrifying doom and gloom cinematic you could make.
Again, terrific work, can't wait to see what else you do
TBF Sargeras the giant space god is one of the sillier things to see visually. He was always better as a big looming threat everyone knew was out there but couldn't quite reach us yet. I like that the viewpoint used here avoided him and focused on the Sword.
I think the maker of this video has a better grasp of the effect this would have on azeroth, then blizzard could ever have. That sword going into the planet like that would be way more of a cataclysmic event than anything a dragon could have done.
Kind of arrogant to say Blizzard doesn't understand the effect it would have. Problem is creating another Cataclysm change to go with the stabbing would have been a shit ton of effort and probably wouldn't be well received. Much like a lot of the first Cataclysm's changes.
Then they shouldnt have done it!!! You want us to believe a dragon throwimg a tantrum across the planet is more devastating and would have longer lasting effects than a giant ass sword being plunged half way through the planet, and only one small area was effected? My point is, and arrogance has nothing to do with it, though your assumption is the only arrogance here btw, is the author of this video has shown us that this event has had a devastating effect, all blizzard gave us was a poor excuse for a quest that showed us a zone they , sorta, re worked. Id have rather them spent the time they put into this crap re work of a zone in silithus, into giving us a better expansion with bfa! And a more believable ending to antorus!
I mean i get it, its a fantasy game and all, but there is still a degree of physics they have put into this game, that they themselves should abide by.
You were saying the maker of the vid has a better grasp of what happens for something like this which is an arrogant assumption to make as you are assuming that noone in the cinematic or development team knows the effect of what's basically a localized deep impact.
As for that dragon you keep dismissing, he was at that destruction for several weeks. It wasn't a small effort on his part. And that same dragon had Titan-gifted powers over of the earth of Azeroth. Given he had more time to use his powers as opposed to Sargeras who was starting to be contained, yeah the damage is going to be higher.
As for physics, the problem with trying hold Azeroth to regular physics is in some cases physics are outright broken. Outland should be an airless bunch of rubble floating through space, but it somehow maintains not only an atmosphere but apparently multiple stable biomes. Azeroth itself has scaling problem out the ass, most of the world has utterly bullshit geography (burning desert badlands right next door to snowy biomes) and multiple elemental planes that will collapse in on the world if a very special rock isn't in place.
*is the author of this video has shown us that this event has had a devastating effect, all blizzard gave us was a poor excuse for a quest that showed us a zone they , sorta, re worked.

I'm honestly confused as to what kind of ending you wanted for Antorus. And the amount of work going into BFA likely wasn't effected too much by this...you know video game companies have multiple development teams internally. The team that wrote the story and developed the raids for isn't the same one that works on the next expac. Patches are typically done by smaller internal teams that'll use pre-prepared assets and mechanics for content patches. Also one of the reasons Argus was Broken Shore 2.0 (Oh the joys of navigating that "lovely" place) with a new and grand skybox.
I've been wanting to see a cinematic for some time now of those who were in Silithus when the sword came down, this is awesome!!
you had to do this video didn't you? I'm literally sitting here in tears, well done... very well done.
omfg this is absolutely insane. great job dude.
I want this video added to the cinematic from Argus PLEASE.
Haven't watched this in some time and it still gives me chills. Such an amazing piece.
This right here should play after the WoW cutscene. Would be epic.
You are amazing. Just yesterday while i was on Silithus i thought of "everyone who was here died.."
Yeah this video kind of hit the feelings ...
Vaellir right? Especially the last part. 👌👌
2 years and this is AMAZING
Maybe that was the right time to hearthstone
-> cenarion hold
Oh no...
@Plasma Haha! Still smiling.
Plasm
Or bubble hearth!
Man the emotions that Blood Elf was probably feeling in that moment. Shot in the stomach and in her final moments got to see the sword impact.
That was an especially good moment in the animation imo
She was like, "ok a hunter got the HK, but damn that's a big warrior execute falling down on me"
