The dumbest thing about burning Teldrassil

That it was burned.

Forsaken love their blight. Sylvanas love blight and even blew up her own city with it. Everything in Darkshore warfront from horde side is blight related

But no, lets summon those magical catapults with infinite range and use FIRE. Against DRUIDS that can control weather and summon RAIN (they also didn’t do that for some reason, super magical fire i guess)

Blighted rotten tree would look so sinister and cool.

The tree is wood.
Fire spreads on wood.
Blight doesn’t spread on wood.

THe dumbest thing about the burning of Teldrassil. Is the waste of all the lovely wooded spikes we could of made. To decorate our huts in Orgrimmar. This Orc weeps at the loss.

The tree is actually a small continent in the sky with its own ecosystem, branches larger than some kingdoms, and a trunk that overtook a large island. In the ocean. Where it’s always misting around that tree and it rains quite often.

The idea of it getting pelted with fire and burning to a crisp is kinda ridiculous.

But… it is what it is now.

The worst thing about the burning of teldrassil is that night elf girls will now be Tryna steal all the human potential from the rest of us

The burning of Teldrassil is a waste. I feel sorry for the night elves. But somehow I feel the is going to be another tree to replace it.

But seriously a 1000 foot tree should have survived that attack.

no, i liked killing all those elves part, it’s the execution that bothers me

You like killing night elves but execution bother you? You contradicted yourself.

I think it may be taller than that? But I also don’t know how high it is from the ground to above the clouds in Azeroth. So I’m kinda guessing. :woman_shrugging:t2:

The Horde: We need wood and we need to fight night elves for access to their forests.

Also the Horde: Let’s burn down this freaking massive tree made of wood.

Teldrassil is a classic example of the devs relying on “rule of cool” to the exclusion of all logic.

I suspect the devs have never tried to light a fire in a fireplace with real wood, just those easy-light fireplace “logs”.

I’m guessing 2000-5000 feet if taller. I jump off of it once it took 5-10 minutes to hit bottom.

Oof! That’s a long fall!

Hope you night elves have plans to plant another tree to replace it. Should make the next one 10 times bigger and fireproof.

It actually spreads quite poorly on live, well-hydrated wood (like you’d see sprouting out of the ocean). Even if it was just a normal non-magical tree that happened to be that large and had no supernatural protection or anything, Sylvanas wouldn’t have had enough fire to cause more than a few scorch marks because it wouldn’t be able to even propagate itself.

There’s a reason wildfires happen in the summer.

Yeah, but bonfire.

In order for wood to burn it needs to be dry. Telrassil wasn’t dry it was in the ocean. To have it go up in flames the tree needed to dry out. Have you ever tried to light wet firewood on fire?

The tree should of shrugged it off cause it was wet wood.

Probably not. There aren’t really many Aspects left to bless it. :confused:

Maybe the horde figured out the formula for napalm.

The dumbest thing is Devs running Sylvanas like she’s their waifu and can do no wrong. Greatest hero in Azeroth. Child please. Watch her turn out to be a hero. Slap in the face stabbed in the back plotline.

They should of destroyed the Dranei and Belf cities. You couldn’t fly in them and they were in zones anyways. Plus undercity was awesome. I’m sure the story could of worked.0
