The Queue: The most adorable scientist ever

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!

I think I’ve watched Recall at least a dozen times since it came out on Monday, partially because it was very good, but mostly because little Winston is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to get the Baby Winston pet in WoW. Oh, and at least a little because I’m still trying to sort out who all those as-yet unnamed heroes are. But mostly for Winston. Because he’s the best.

We don’t actually know any of that just yet — I believe last time anyone checked, garrisons were pretty broken on the alpha servers (not that anyone is spending a lot of time on Draenor anyway). I’m going to assume they mean Garrison Resources, because you constantly use those to upgrade your garrison — something that people leveling through Draenor will presumably be interested in doing anyway.

Farahlon was basically what the region known as Netherstorm in Outland used to be, before Draenor bit the big one. It was first mentioned back in Burning Crusade by the high elf Ravandwyr. Kirin’Var Village in Netherstorm was originally built by a group of Kirin Tor wizards who had gone through the Dark Portal after the Second War — it’s mentioned that Kirin’Var village was located in the heart of what used to be the Laughing Skull Clan’s territory. In Warlords, Farahlon was an island to the east of Gorgrond — it was supposed to be a zone at one point, added in a later patch, but the idea was scrapped.

I know this wasn’t really a question, but I kind of felt like highlighting this because I just came to the same epiphany myself a few weeks ago. Now I’m actively stalking the Auction House and snapping up mounts I don’t already have. Sure, it might not be the most useful application of gold, but really, I have to spend it on something eventually, right? I’d forgotten that stockpiling is all well and good, but spending is fun, too.

Although the option to resurrect allies was removed from some classes for a little while in the alpha, it’s since been added back again — so you can breathe a sigh of relief on that front. As for self-healing, I haven’t really noticed it being too bad, honestly. It’s easy enough to survive on the Broken Isles as long as you don’t go hog wild and pull a dozen things at the same time. You definitely don’t need a healer with you to get things done.

No more than there already is on live servers, I imagine. PVE mobs scale to whatever level you happen to be at the time — if you’re a level 100 character in Val’Sharah, you’re going to see mobs at level 100 or so. If you’re at level 107, you’re going to see mobs at level 107. How players interact as far as world PVP goes isn’t something I’ve seen just yet, though — I don’t know if you scale to your fellow player out there in the world, or if something else will be in play, but I sincerely doubt Blizzard is going to make it any more difficult to level on a PVP server than it already is.

The only PVP items that can’t be used for transmog are the vanilla-era PVP sets — you have to have the appropriate rank to use them. Everything else is pretty much up for grabs, so farm away! You shouldn’t have any issues using it for transmog.

That’s it for today’s Queue — if you have any questions you’d like to see answered, be sure to leave them in the comments below!
