The Queue: I found him

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Look, I’m a sucker for cute things, and they don’t come much cuter than Pepe. He’s awfully cute, and cleverly put together — whoever designed the clips for his feet should get a cookie or something, because they manage to be ridiculously functional and still look like little birdy feet at the same time. I was going to be making the annual BlizzCon road trip solo this year, but it looks like Pepe is going to have to tag along. But enough about birds — let’s get to your questions!

If you focus on clearing out treasure missions, you should eventually see the ones you want pop up. Make sure you’re clearing out the upper right hand and lower left hand sections of the map — that seems to be where most of the rare missions pop up. I feel you though — after failing the elusive riverbeast mount mission, I’ve been patiently waiting for the silly thing to come back for weeks now!

The only other noteworthy blue dragon I can think of is Tyrygosa — she was once Kalecgos’ intended, but they broke off the relationship after he met Anveena. She was also the blue dragon responsible for restoring Malygos’ sanity…which also led to the Nexus War and his eventual  death, so maybe she wouldn’t have been exactly welcome at the ceremony.

As for Arygos, it’s…interesting really, because what you see in game is also an event that’s written about in Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects. In the book, he left after he wasn’t chosen to lead and sought out the Twilight Father. He wanted to help the Twilight Father kill Thrall, figuring that would shake Kalecgos enough that it’d change the minds of the blue dragons and they’d decide to let him lead instead. Unfortunately, choosing to ally with a dark and mysterious figure is a terrible idea — the Twilight Father killed Arygos, and used his blood to activate the Focusing Iris and siphon magic directly from the Nexus into a giant chromatic dragon.

Basically, the story in the book is very different from what you see in game — sort of an extended cut if you will — and Arygos is most definitely dead. I’d recommend reading Twilight of the Aspects anyway, it was a really good book, especially if you’ve ever read Lord of the Clans.

According to Brann Bronzebeard, murlocs evolved from the gorlocs you see up in Northrend. The gorlocs came from some unknown frog Ancient we don’t know about. If this is true, then the murlocs definitely weren’t Titan created, as the Ancients came from Azeroth, not from the Titans. But then this is all theorizing and speculation by Brann Bronzebeard, so it’s entirely possible he was full of hot air on that one.

They have referred to Elune as the “primary” goddess, but we’ve never heard word about any other gods. It’s possible they referred to Elune as such just to leave an opening in case they wanted to introduce something else at some point. Or they could have put that in there because deities like Cenarius are considered demigods, and they wanted to make the distinction clear. Or we may see mention of other gods in Legion, considering we’re about to discover a long-forgotten ancient civilization of night elves.

Nope, they’ll just bide their time until they can strike again. If we do not wipe out the Burning Legion completely, it will always be a threat. The demons are bound to the Twisting Nether, they have endless patience and an endless eternity in which to carry out their plans. Azeroth is somehow important to the Burning Legion in a way we have yet to understand, and they aren’t going to rest until it’s wiped out, or corrupted, or whatever it is they want to do to it.

I sincerely doubt that one — while the ways of the Demon Hunter aren’t exactly smiled upon by the general public, Demon Hunters exist specifically to act against the Burning Legions. Their methods might be frowned upon, but their motives are something that people could theoretically get behind. Necromancy, on the other hand,  doesn’t really have any kind of altruistic purpose — there’s a reason it’s been largely shunned by society, and I can’t really see a situation where a Necromancer would “fit” as a class, from a story standpoint.

Mind you, that’s story standpoint. From a mechanics standpoint, I’m not sure how they could make necromancer that didn’t just feel like a caster version of a Death Knight.
