The Queue: Be all and you’ll be the end all

Hi, and welcome to The Queue. We’re talking about Blizzard games and usually there’s some other stuff. Just be cool.

I’m listening to Anthrax’s State of Euphoria album.

There may be Legion spoilers. Honestly, as I write this paragraph, I really have no idea.

Mythic difficulty is intended for the prestige raiders — folks who chase after world first kills on the hardest difficulty level possible. I know there are guilds that raid Mythic more casually. I was in the equivalent of just such a guild in Mists. But the Mythic lockout is intended to support and sustain such world first raiding guilds and keep Mythic difficulty as a server only, guild only experience as much as possible.

It wouldn’t bother me personally, but the highest difficulty I raid nowadays is Heroic. If I were currently chasing for a realm first or similar I’d probably feel differently.

Sometimes Anne, Joe or I suggest topics and we pick one by group affirmation, sometimes we decide to change what we’re discussing because they announce a big expansion with demon armies and lots of Artifact weapons, sometimes we just wing it. The most recent LoreWatch, for example, was Anne’s idea and she suggested it I believe at least two weeks before we recorded it.

Look, since we keep talking about this — I posted an article about spoilers yesterday. In terms of people spoiling Star Wars in WoW, well, I think that’s a jerk move. I think spoiling the movie in general is a jerk move. That said, I apparently irritated people when I said this isn’t a Star Wars site and they should go elsewhere to discuss it, so I might as well get people upset again trying to address my feelings on the topic, right? So here goes.

I’m not the comments police. You guys get up to a lot in the comments, I have neither the time nor the inclination to sit here and tell you what to talk about. But spoiling the biggest movie of the past decade for people who really, really want to see it without said spoilers, on a site that doesn’t usually discuss that movie much at all, especially when we’ve given you a place to go discuss the film to your heart’s content? Just don’t, please. I get you’re excited. I get you want to talk about it with the folks you like on the internet. So use the post we’ve provided and please don’t talk about it here in the Queue so that people who don’t want spoilers don’t feel like they have to avoid the site, or the Queue.

This is the link to the post with Star Wars discussion and spoilers. I believe it is obvious that clicking on that link risks seeing said spoilers.

I feel this is sufficient warning to help people who don’t want said spoilers avoid them. Please, just to be considerate to others, especially considering this is The Queue and not a Tavern post, go discuss The Force Awakens in the above post. Please and thank you for your consideration of others. We’re not telling you not to talk about stuff here, but try and keep in mind that people might not want to come back if they expect spoilers in the Queue.

And as for people trying deliberately to ruin the movie for people who are just out playing WoW, well, I think you’re a jerk if you do that.

I don’t know if I’d say it’s my favorite — frankly that would take a very long time to really get straight in my head — but I love the various music from Night Elf zones.

Believe me, I share your frustration, but here’s the thing — before they took the Alpha down they managed to introduce a bug into the Wardrobe (which was working before) that causes the Alpha to crash the second you attempt to use the Wardrobe.

Sometimes it’s good to wait and let the testers test things.

To my knowledge they haven’t. I went and checked the Alpha forums, couldn’t find any post on that, so if they have I’ve failed to secure such information for you. If it helps I’ve been running it fine on the PC I originally got to play Cataclysm on, so it doesn’t feel like it made a huge requirements jump.

Thank you. We hope that it can remain so for you for the foreseeable future.

And it’s true, me and Dinosaurs go way back.

Really I just thought this was a nice comment and I wanted to share it.

Okay, such is the Queue for this day. I shall see you on Christmas Day.
