So Legion is post WoD or before?

[Deleted]

Warlords of Draenor is set in the past right so for Legion are we now back in current time Azeroth?

[Mifuyne]

Ofcourse Legion is post WoD.

[Deleted]

Ofcourse Legion is post WoD.

But we was in Draenor for WoD which is in the past.

So yes Legion is the next expansion after WoD but what i mean is in terms of in game wow timeline, what happened first?

[Soeroah]

WoD happened before Legion. No time shenanigans are happening.

[Bioreducto]

legion is post wod. Even though we went to the past in wod, the events in wod lead up the the events that happen in legion. which is why guldan is alive in legion. the original guldan is dead in the original timeline, but after the hellfire citadel raid in wod, archimonde pushes the past guldan through the portal he was summoned through and ends up in present day azeroth and thats where legion takes place.

Think of Warlords of Draenor as a separate pocket of time in-between Mists of Pandaria and Draenor.

WoD was an alternate timeline, not really time travel.

From a practical perspective, Draenor could have been a copy of the original Draenor from a few decades ago in our own universe, in our own time, like another continent. Hell, there isn't really anything saying they couldn't claim WoD's Draenor is in our own universe and Outland has been an alternate tineline the entire time.

Basically, ignore the time travel, Blizzard did. MoP leads to WoD leads to Legion. We start Legion a year after we go to Draenor, in our original timeline and time period.

[Frozenpt]

WoD is an alternative reality, we went back in time in this other reality. Going so far back in our reality would really mess up everything up until the present days.

While we were in this other reality, our own didn't froze. Everything kept going in both worlds as usual.

If you check the cinematic that plays after you defeat Archimonde in Hellfire Citadel, you can see part of the answer to your question.



Then you can check the Legion teaser, where you see the continuation of Archimonde's cinematic and the last part of the answer for your question.



So we went back in another reality but we are back to our own. No time travel should happen in Legion, afaik.

Hopefully WoD will be the end of the alternative reality bull shit.

Alt history is part of the main core of Warcraft history. Even Legion continues it, Brox, Rhonin and Krasus appears on the WotA memories of Illidan.

Separate pocket of time and Warlords technically predates " classic " of our timeline

Memories =/= alternate timeline travel.

No, it predates the same numerical portion of time in THAT timeline, not ours.

[Overlord Fordragon]

Memories =/= alternate timeline travel.

Memories = Alternate time travel, one hundred percent in this case.

[Todrazok]

Oh boy, we're gonna have to explain how WoD's time travel works for a long time aren't we?

[Deleted]

Memories =/= alternate timeline travel.

Memories of the time travellers Rhonin, Brox and Krasus is alternate timeline travel in this case. We aren't part of the original timeline.

[Raetary]

how many fcking times will people ask this damned question?
WOD HAPPENS IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE

yep, even tho its damn easy to understand, if people would just use their damned brain cells a little bit and go on wowpedia and read it for themselves.
but noooooo.

[RedGamer030]

Memories = Alternate time travel, one hundred percent in this case.

So when you remember this moment, you traveled to an alternate timeline. Do you even know how retard that sounds?

Memories of the time travellers Rhonin, Brox and Krasus is alternate timeline travel in this case. We aren't part of the original timeline.

Memories of time travelers =/= time travel. Just because I talk to Marty McFly about his time traveling experience does not mean I time traveled.

Blizzard confirmed you can basically pretend WoD never happened and the only lasting effect is that Gul'Dan is back to life.

The concept's simple, sure, but the game made no effort to explain it. None of the events of war crimes were recorded, and the first we heard of what went on was the end of the first stage of the legendary quest when we got some Kairoz dialogue. Players who don't read around much were left totally lost, which is a narrative failure on the game's part. Stories in the game's world, even ones that affect the game, can be told outside of it, but the main story of the game has to be explained within.
