The Queue: Ghost guardians

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’m pretty sure seeing this little sequence, pulled straight out of The Last Guardian, was my favorite part of the latest chain of pre-Legion quests. …although it was a little odd that past-ghost-Khadgar was just as old as current day Khadgar, instead of the 14 year old apprentice he actually was.

Some classes will actually see Ulduar again as part of their Artifact quest chains, so we’re not done with that zone just yet. As to whether we’d see it as a dungeon or raid zone … well, good question. It was a really good raid, I enjoyed it a lot in Wrath, but I don’t know how much of a tie it realistically has to everything else that’s going on. Personally, I think it’d be pretty cool to see that, but I know there are just as many people out there who are probably tired of it…kind of like Karazhan.

Theoretically, Medivh died. But in Cycle of Hatred, Aegwynn revealed that she was the one who brought Medivh back — which is why he appeared to be alive and well, delivering warnings in Warcraft 3. At the end of that game, Medivh stated that he would take his place “among the legends of the past,” an enigmatic statement that read like a farewell. Nobody’s seen him since…sort of.

In Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects, Thrall runs into Medivh. Medivh somehow has the knowledge that Thrall is from another time, and that he’s looking for Nozdormu. Because of this, it might be that the “legends of the past” statement was meant quite literally, and Medivh’s still zipping around in the timeways somewhere. But that’s just speculation.

There’s a Feat of Strength for fighting at each invasion point, but there’s nothing for defeating all of the assorted bosses.

The statue still exists in old Dalaran, it just hasn’t carried over to the new version. That tower is far more useful to our current situation — it’s the home of the Mage class hall, as well as a place that other players will be using for various Legion quests. It’s way more interesting than that old statue, trust me.

Unfortunately, that glyph was removed from the game and there is no replacement — but trust me, I’m right there with you. That was one of my standard glyphs, and I’m really upset that it’s gone away. Pick Lock isn’t some kind of major damaging spell or ability — we’re opening a box. Why it has a cast timer is beyond me.

Nope! Fun story, way back in early beta, there was some datamined dialogue that implied Yrel and Maraad were together. It was later removed — Yrel and Maraad have no apparent relationship or recollection of each other at all. The old character page for Yrel mentioned she had some kind of dark secret she carried with her, and we never saw mention of that, either. I don’t think there was anything implied by Maraad’s statement other than maybe a transfer of power, but that’ s just speculation — they were his final words, he was trying to bolster Yrel’s strength.
