At last, we see a teaser of the final encounter of Mount Hyjal! Curse from Vek'Nilash has gone up against Archimonde to give us a preview of this epic, world-changing battle. They bring attention to a few of his abilities, and particularly how incredibly difficult he is. I can't wait to see what kinds of items he has in store for us!

If it's simply fight > kill, it would deviate from the Warcraft 3 lore, and the format of the other 2 Caverns of Time instances.
It would make a lot more sense if the Infinite Dragonflight somehow killed/incapacitated some of the faction leaders, and we had to slow down Archimonde to give Malfurion and the wisps time to do their thing.
If we failed in Old Hillsbrad and the Black Morass, it would both lead to the Burning Legion winning at Mount Hyjal.
This would be a great opportunity to flesh out the Infinite Dragonflight, or maybe defeat their leader and destroy them once and for all, but from what I've seen so far there's no mention of the Infinite Dragonflight at all in Hyjal.

What's with the conversation at the begining? Is that scripted in the instance?? Cause it was cool

I also find it odd that the Infinite Dragonflight hasn't shown up in Hyjal yet, though perhaps they do when Archimonde's health reaches a certain point. Curse barely put a dent in him, so it is possible that they show up to reinforce him, or something like that.
Guess we'll just have to wait and find out, though.

wondering what mod puts healing text over the character being healed. I know SCTD can do it, but it doesn't look like that's the mod being used. I'm probably wrong there though.
In more related news, I am curious to see if the infinite dragonflight has any involvement at all. There was some discussion on the infinite dragonflight assisting the orcs, elves and humans in the defence, stopping Archimonde and thus changing time by stopping the destruction of the world tree. I thought that would've been a very original encounter, and it's a shame it wasn't the truth.

The conversation at the beginning is from the theatrics before the mount hyjal mission in warcraft 3.
