The Queue: Kor’vas Fan Club

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!

In some of these towns, which graveyard you use when you rez is dependent on your faction. If you’re Alliance in Tarren Mill, it kicks you to the graveyard down at Southshore, presumably because the graveyard is actually inside the walls of Tarren Mill. In the Crossroads, both Horde and Alliance use the same graveyard because it’s outside the town walls. In Westfall, the Alliance uses a graveyard within the walls of Sentinel Hill, but the Horde gets kicked to a graveyard further out, I believe.

So if the closest graveyard is actually within the town, the opposite faction will be thrown further away. If the closest graveyard is outside of the town, both factions use the same one.

It won’t disappear. It’ll stay there until you use it.

This is exactly how I feel about many of the “greater good” or “greater threat” scenarios in World of Warcraft’s narrative. If you actually look at deaths and losses, the faction war has resulted in more destruction than any external threat. You can see that plainly in some of the invasion zones: The Alliance flies over the slimy ruins of Southshore to help defend Tarren Mill. The Forsaken did that. Tarren Mill did that. Why would the Alliance help them? Because the Burning Legion is the larger threat? I dunno, man. The Forsaken have put a far greater hurt on the Alliance than the Legion ever has. The Legion has repeatedly failed. The Forsaken have repeatedly succeeded. Sylvanas is a way larger threat.

I, as a player, know this is all game mechanics. I, as a player, know the Broken Shore cinematics were different for each faction. My character only knows what my character knows. If there’s a war, the Forsaken are winning. They’re an enormous threat and, from what my character knows, the Forsaken betrayed the Alliance at the Broken Shore and caused what happened there. Why would my character ever defend Tarren Mill? She wouldn’t. It doesn’t matter who’s attacking it. The Forsaken can burn. Blizzard has kept the stakes high in the faction war, but the stakes low in every other conflict in the narrative. But the XP is sweet, so I’m gonna do it anyway.

I feel it’s also worth noting, if you pay attention in Hillsbrad, the Legion is actually harvesting samples of the Forsaken Blight in Southshore. Note the Blight is different from the Plague the Legion used to create the Scourge. The Blight is 100% Forsaken-made and produced. In the novels, it’s rather explicit Sylvanas ordered its creation. The Forsaken have created something so gross, so nasty, so cruelly effective, the Legion wants in on it. That should be terrifying!

The chest contents will scale to your level upon opening them. If you save all of your chests for level 100, you’ll be kitted out in ilevel 700 gear instantly. However, I’ve still been using a few of them here and there while powerleveling. My level 80 Shaman wasn’t being particularly helpful in killing demons while still wearing level 40 gear. I popped open enough to make myself effective again, then went back to hoarding them.

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall Druids always getting flight two levels before everyone else. At the very least, back in Burning Crusade, they got their first flight form quest at level 68, then a quest to improve it to epic at 70. I didn’t play a Druid at the time, and this is many years ago, so I could be incorrect, but that’s how I remember it. Two levels early was their perk for having a unique flight form. When spells like flightform became learned automatically, and flight became something you could acquire at level 60, Druids kept the two-levels-early perk and got flight at level 58.

This is a common post-patch problem and one I’ve been experiencing myself. The game will be running fine, then lock up for a few seconds. It’ll run fine awhile longer, than lock up a couple more times. After a few lockups, it’ll stop doing it until the next time I relog.

If I eat too soon after waking up, it makes me sick. My breakfast is usually just coffee, and I’ll wait until around 10 or 11 to eat my first meal of the day. Though that’s technically lunch (because I don’t believe in brunch), it’s usually breakfast food like eggs.

Gallywix is indeed supposed to be a hefty fellow, but he hasn’t done enough notable in WoW to justify getting a custom character model. Gallywix tends to just stand around in quests or cinematics. He’s never had a leading role, and only when a character has a leading role do they get a custom model. Look at Genn Greymane: He didn’t have a custom model for a long time. Only now that he’s heavily involved in Legion have they given him a model which isn’t the stock human model. The Azshara invasion is the only time Gallywix has actually been up and around doing anything and that’s going away in a week.

If you listen to Gallywix’s dialogue in Azshara, he does still make standard “fat jokes.” He complains about the Legion making him miss a meal.

That camp was added in Warlords of Draenor, actually. It’s the platform where you fight the last boss in Everbloom. Don’t feel bad for not knowing that, though — I didn’t realize it even after I’d run Everbloom a thousand times. I thought it had something to do with the Darkmoon Faire. It looks Darkmoony to me.
