Around Azeroth: The sky pirates
PTR denizen Zentoar of BRING THE RUCKUS on Broxigar snapped this shot of the Skyfire Airship trailing Deathwing through the skies. You really don't want to know what happens when a flock of birds hits the propellers in this airship. Suffice to say, it makes the Hindenburg look like a teenage fender-bender.

My mind instantly flew back to Final Fantasy XII land...
And I haven't played more than 5 hours with that game. On a PC.
Hah.

does the Blackhorn fight happen ONLY on the alliance gunship?
really not a fan of that ship...for obvious horde biased reasons
Ikatsu Nov 29th 2011 10:29AM
Only on that ship and interesting enough, it falls on a giant turtle that was traveling around the world with panda people, covered by mist...
Cbeefman Nov 29th 2011 10:35AM
boooooo
i hope there is a GOOD lore reason why horde doesnt do the fight on our own ship because im certain i saw it circling the temple in a screenshot recently

i think the ship was stolen but im not sure on that didn't hop on to the ptr

And now we know why. The Horde gunship gets one shot by deathwing, making it the third gunship they lose on this expansion...

Man i love that ship. I wish airships where more prevalent in WoW. One thing i loved about final fantasy 9 was how bustling and busy airships made the world seem.

I play a Druid. Flying to land on that thing is my worst nightmare.

I too thought of FF XII, but first I thought of FF IX, the siege on the Iifa tree, which is one of my favorite cut-scenes of all time.

Oh man, no kidding. And IX doesn't even crack my top five favorite FFs.
The part where the dragons come pouring out still makes me crap my pants.

Well there was the horde gunship that was destroyed in Deepholm. I didn't think that was Orgrimm's Hammer. It wasn't was it?

Well, that image took me back to Stardust. :)

Now I demand Captain Shakespeare show up.
Of course, knowing Blizz, they'd make him a Blood Elf. :\

It's an honor to have my screenshot featured on here.. :D I have plenty more "action shots" of the Dragon Soul raid that I managed to take via conveniently dying / getting thrown off of Deathwing's back and falling for ages till I was of a distance far enough to snap the shot.. This one was definitely my favorite. Cheers :)
