The Queue: Orc manicures

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!

Okay first off, Mr. Overly Zealous Box-Perching Dude, I think you might just be a little too into Gul’dan, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t think anywhere near as highly of you as you do of him. Second, have you looked at your hands lately, because you could really use a manicure. I’d offer you one, but my garrison sadly doesn’t include a Barber Shop or Salon, and no matter how many times I order them to do it the Frostwolves are just not interested in making that happen.


ALLEYNE ASKED:

Q4tQ – One of the things that I love about the game is the occasional opportunity for bragging rights, via luck or massive efforts.  Titles often display that special achieve, but most get watered down over time as gearing makes the un-possible very easy (Jenkins, for example). It’s why I often run around with my “Camel-Hoarder” title – it gets me some whispers.

If you could pick that one-in-a-thousand noteworthy event to brag about, what would it be and what Title would you give yourself?

I tell you what, I still have a Scepter of the Shifting Sands on not one, but two characters, and I’d love to get my hands on that mount that was lost to time. I probably could have ditched them a long time ago, especially given the achievement that was introduced for people that didn’t actually open the gates, but I just can’t bring myself to do it.


JRAFFENSBERGER ASKED:

So one of my alts just dinged 60. I’ve been doing quests in Hellfire since 58 (via ran through the portal in Blasted Lands). The Outland portal in Orgrimmar (Cleft of Shadow) is still not showing up for me. I’ve tried logging out several times. It’s working fine for all of my other characters.

Any ideas on what the problem is?

Wrong portal! The portal to Outland has been relocated — it’s now just up the ramp next to where the old portal was originally located, over by the rogue trainers. Don’t feel bad, I spent a good hour or so trying to figure out where the thing was when Warlords first came out and I found a need to head to Hellfire.


RAZWICK ASKED:

QftQ: How the hell do you get a … battle ship I think it is? Whichever ‘fighter’ ship that you don’t get by default. Is it a blueprint from a rare drop or something? Absolutely nothing in the game tells me how to get the blueprint, and almost all of my shipyard missions require one.

You can purchase the blueprint in Tanaan, from either the Hand of the Prophet vendors, or the Vol’jin’s Headhunters vendors. You need to be honored reputation with either one in order to purchase the blueprints — which only takes a few days of dailies to get to.


@RVALIANTINE ASKED VIA TWITTER:

Mythic Archimonde has its last phase in the Twisting Nether. Does that mean mythic raiders kill him for good?

Considering everything we’ve learned to date, I think that at this point, assuming any demon is well and truly dead and gone is a really, really bad idea. I’d suggest erring on the side of caution and assuming any demons we kill are more like “not alive-ish” than actually deceased, regardless of where they’re killed.


MORNINGDEUCE_OTQ ASKED:

QFTQ: If our next garrisons are indeed mobile command centers like airships, what do you think the expansion will be? My money is on the Legion has invaded Azeroth and the only safe place is the fleet in the air.

I don’t know if we’ll see airship stuff in the next expansion, or if we’ll even see anything like our garrisons again, once this expansion is over. They worked for Warlords because it made sense that we established a garrison on a strange new world — the next world or continent or wherever we happen to visit, that might not really be necessary.


@KARANDRAS55 ASKED VIA TWITTER:

With us being able to become the Talon king (or queen) in Draenor, does that rank hold any sway over the Arakkoa of outland?

Nope! What happens on Draenor affects Draenor alone — the titles we earn, the prestige we get, that’s all restricted to this version of Draenor’s reality. On Outland, things are going the way they’ve always gone, and if we suddenly piped up with the news that oh, by the way, I’m Talon King/Queen to your people, I think we’d end up with a fistful of very angry arakkoa accusing us of sacrilege. What we do on Draenor has no bearing on Outland what so ever.
