WTH Did They Do To Anduin!?

Unshaven with a messy, dead-white hair bun. Just like his father when he was lost, too

Having dumb anime hair runs in the family?

I didn’t realize what the issue was until I saw that screenshot a few posts down. I’m fine with some facial hair but he looks like he aged about 10-15 years in like 2-3 years in the maw?

He must of been STRESSED! Lol

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

the time in the maw plus the time he’s had after. So yeah he’s around 5 to maybe 7 years older

[Awkward-frostmourne (Awkward)]

The maw is very famously not a very nice place to be.

[Slyfoxey-tichondrius]

By the beginning of dragon flight was the end of the SL and that’s when he decided to walk the maw like Samuel Jackson Walking the earth in pulp fiction.

That’s 3 years?

[Awkward-frostmourne (Awkward)]

No, there’s a 5 year time skip between Shadowlands and Dragonflight.

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

I forget the time skip is a lil wonky compared to player time versus in game character lore time

[Slyfoxey-tichondrius]

Oh!!! Shiiiz I didn’t know that… so we age like dogs now? Wouldn’t that make vanilla players in wow like 75 now?

[Squeaksmcgee-area-52]

His looks are befitting his experiences. Life on Azeroth as well as the SLs and other places aren’t easy so he’s not going to have all the comforts of home everywhere he goes.

He looked good to me, it fits for the story to pick up again.
Wouldn’t make sense if he looked otherwise. At least he still has both arms and legs.
So far.

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

Think the opposite of dog years

I would just expect him to have a lightsaber in the next expansion or two if that happened.

no… I like this Anduin… he’s smexy.

@Rosenivy-area-52

Think the opposite of dog year

For every 3 years an extra 2 is tacked on per expansion?

Opposite of dog years would be like half a year per expansion so we would basically be immortal?

[Awkward-frostmourne (Awkward)]

Nah, most expansions last about 1-2 years in canonical time and there isn’t a timeskip between that.

The events of Vanilla to the conclusion of Shadowlands happened over the course of about 11 years. Then there was a 4 year skip to Dragonflight.

We don’t know the canonical timeline of Dragonflight yet, but it’s probably a fair bet it’s been about 7ish years since we left Anduin in the Maw like Rosen said.

[Slyfoxey-tichondrius]

So it was just this expansion that there was a 3-4 year skip? Basically?

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

Awkward explained it better in a post below yours

[Awkward-frostmourne (Awkward)]

Yeah pretty much. Honestly after the previous decade I think it’s safe to say that everyone deserved a bit of a break.

It’s been a pretty rough decade with world ending threats popping up every other year or so.

@Vladamire-eonar

Is there no one capable of writing with understanding that a person that does not have full control of their actions can UNDERSTAND THAT and not blame themselves, and blame the foul magic that caused it…not a hard concept.

There is a point in SLs, near the end of that expac, where Anduin says he liked it.
He liked the feeling of power, enjoyed dominating others, etc…

That is probably what messed his head up and keeps him constipated from the Light source of power.

It’s temporary and Thrall had a similar experience and went through it when the elements decided to ignore him for a bit.

So it takes time. Cut him some slack already.

[Rosenivy-area-52 (Rosenivy)]

Its like when your brain just stops producing serotonin and you need medicine just to get your brain working again

[Slyfoxey-tichondrius]

Yeah now that you mention it I believe the beginning of dragon flight said 2 years later or Soemthing then there’s the time of dragon flight taking place. Probably a good thing.
