The Queue: I know where I’ll be in Legion

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!

Burning Legion? What’s that? Look, I’ll get down to the very important business of exploring the rest of the Broken Isles, I promise, but not until I’ve had my daily dose of caffeine. These wizards, man. They can do anything, am I right?


CATCH-22 ASKED:

Queued up as dps on my hunter for my last 100 valor needed to upgrade my crafted boots. And I got a tank with 9 minutes of Resurrection Sickness who had about 50k health to my 450k+ health as a dps hunter.

What am I supposed to do in that situation?

I just sighed, dropped group, and continued on with my chem co queue spam.

That’s pretty much all you can do in that situation. Unfortunately, there’s nothing out there to prevent tanks (or any other player for that matter) from accepting a queue if they have resurrection sickness. It’s one of those things that I wish Blizzard would come up with some sort of solution for, because let’s face it — you can’t really expect to effectively perform in a dungeon if you’ve got it.


LOTHARFOX ASKED:

QftQ (specifically Anne): Does telling us what Azeroth is severely limit where the overall story could go, with an ending at some point? Does this reduce the number of tinfoil hat theories that can be made?

Not even remotely.

All it does it further expand the framework and answer some questions that have been puzzling us for a while now. But those answers are just going to pose more questions — and the book may or may not clarify those. We aren’t going to run out of any tinfoil hat theories anytime soon. If anything, I thought of a couple dozen good ones while just looking at the preview of the book. When I’ve got the thing in my hands, who knows?


STELLARLEADER ASKED:

About primordial Azeroth: “This burgeoning civilization was located near the center of Azeroth’s largest continent.”

LARGEST continent, not “only” continent. What happened to the other continents? Will we ever find them? What could possible be there?

That’s a good question.

Really, that’s all I can say about that, because without the book in my  hands, I don’t really have any kind of answers for you. Yes, there is an implication that Kalimdor was not Azeroth’s only continent back then. But where those other continents went, whether or not they still exist, and anything else…well I can’t really answer that until I’ve got the book. And the answer might not even be in the book, for that matter…which means it’s going to be another one of those delightful mysteries to think about in the future.


MISTAH JAY ASKED:

Q4tQ: Considering OVR is going to be Multiplayer only (ala Star Wars Battlefront), do you think there will ever come a time where it will have a substantial single player component, whether for Story Development or whatever else?

From what I recall, Blizzard has stated that there are no plans to introduce any kind of single player campaign for Overwatch — it’s a team-based FPS title, the key phrase being ‘team-based.’ You’re meant to play it with other people. I have a feeling if they do anything in the realm of story development, they’ll just flesh out the history of Overwatch, rather than setting anything present-day — and that will likely take place in the form of graphic novels, comics, maybe even books, and those animated shorts they were talking about at BlizzCon last year.


@CLADRIAH ASKED VIA TWITTER:

If dryads existed prior to the Night elves. Why do they look like Night elves rather than trolls?

This is also an excellent question, but I think maybe you’re looking at it from the wrong direction. The better question to ask would be “If Night Elves supposedly evolved from Trolls, why exactly do they look more like dryads?” I don’t have an answer to that just yet, but it definitely gives us several things to think about.


@LAGOWATU ASKED VIA TWITTER:

Of the hunter specs, what rotation/priority is changing the most? Least? Can I learn a spec now for minimal retraining later?

Currently both Survival and Marksmanship are getting some major overhauls — one (Survival) is taking the most drastic shift by shedding the whole ranged combat thing for a melee spec, and the other (Marksmanship) is ditching the pet part of being a Hunter entirely. You can do that right now — at least a little — by choosing Lone Wolf as a talent, which gives you a few different buffs if you don’t actually have a pet out. In Legion, Marksmanship Hunters simply won’t have a pet at all.

Right now Beast Mastery is the only spec that’s staying mostly the same as in fairly familiar to its current iteration — ranged weapon, ranged attacks, with your good old fuzzy (or scaly, or feathery) pal fighting at your side. You might want to check out last Friday’s Hunter column for more information Beast Mastery and how it plays in Legion so far — but right now, it seems like the only Hunter spec that’s going to be playing really closely to its current Warlords iteration.
