The Queue: A truly breathtaking creature

Welcome back to The Queue, the Q&A column for all things Blizzard related. If you have a question for the Queue, leave a comment and you may see it answered!

The header image will absolutely make sense a little later. I promise. Although it’s nice to look at all by itself, isn’t it?

It runs just like any normal auction — you’ll get the amount of gold it was listed for, but it’ll be some time before your gold is delivered in your mailbox. Not more than a day at most, from what I’ve been hearing.

I believe Blizzard stated somewhere that no, this would not be a thing. Garrison missions are a temporary bit of content — they are here for Warlords of Draenor, but they may not stick around once we’re done with this expansion. Developing a mobile app that works with the mission interface is basically making a mobile app that will only be relevant for a short period of time. The time invested in making something like that work is time that really could be better spent developing other things.

I would, however, love to see Pet Battles come out as a playable app or tablet game. That’s content that isn’t going to go anywhere.

It’s the same quest for everybody. So if you’ve got say, the Harrison quest in which he sends you out in ogre territory, it doesn’t matter who’s garrison you visit, he’ll still be sending you to the same place. However, if Harrison does not pop up in your garrison, be sure to check the Group Finder and look for someone with a Harrison in their garrison, because it’s entirely possible he’s offering the quest you need. There are usually several people that throw their garrisons open in the Group Finder just for that purpose — either there’s a particular quest giver, a particular vendor, or even the traveling trainer at the Menagerie. Good luck!

I would say that they serve their purpose — they aren’t necessarily needed, but they’re an option for people who just want to get through content as quickly as possible. Although a couple of months might not seem like a very long time to you, that’s still a lot of time to someone who just wants to get to the same level as their friends. And players who have a ton of alts already may not want to spend a lot of time running around doing low level quests. Sure, there’s the level 90 boost option, but that’s quite a chunk of real-world cash — if you can manage a speedy experience by using in game currency and items, why not go that route instead?

Today’s header image is just for you. I don’t know if it’s “pretty” so much as it is “suitably majestic,” but the satchels we were getting for all our dungeon running had some pretty good stuff inside!

I had a chat with Anna Bell, our resident Pet Battle expert, and she had the following to say:

“If you’re looking in terms of culling, or selling off, getting a WarcraftPets account is probably the best way to do it. They ‘block out’ all but your highest level pet in a pinky-red haze. If you look at mine, for example, you can see that I have multiple Adders, an extra Ancona Chicken, etc. The only downside is that every time you want to use it you have to re-log in and import your data… I haven’t updated mine since May, so my info (& sitewide rank!) are inaccurate.”

It’s not quite an addon, but it’s an incredibly useful website — hopefully that will help you out!
