The Queue: A most unfortunate mage

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!

One minute you’re wielding the magic, the next minute the magic is chasing you willy-nilly down the streets of Dalaran, and all you can do is run.

Mages, man.

I haven’t seen anything to indicate they’ll be raising the ilvl cap in 7.1. You’re probably fine where you are, but if you want to grab a few of those gear missions every now and again when you’ve got a surplus of Order Hall Resources, that’s not necessarily a terrible idea as a just-in-case precaution. (What can I say, I like being over-prepared!)

There is! Head to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in Pandaria, and fly  up to the Seat of Knowledge above Mogu’shan Palace. Talk to Lorewalker Fu — he’ll give you access to every Mists scenario, including Theramore’s Fall. Note that this will require you to do the Pandaria intro quest. But you can just ignore all quests once you hit the ground in Pandaria and just head to the nearest flight point — my Demon Hunter already had a straight flight to the Shrine, even though she’d never been there before.

Unfortunately, no. There are still times I wish they’d do so right now — I still have a lot of quests at max level, and keep getting more profession quests rolling in on top of it all. It’d be nice if we had a little more wiggle room!

I mean…you could? I guess? The thing is, Legion’s story is much more wrapped up in the Nightborne than the Night Elves. Sure, you’ve got the stuff going on in Val’Sharah, but then you’ve also got all that Tauren stuff happening in Highmountain. And Stormheim’s a split between Worgen and Forsaken. But none of these zones rely really heavily on racial lore or anything. Suramar itself is much more fixated with the city, the people in it, and what’s going on in the area.

I feel like the only appropriate way to answer this question is with a quote from Algalon:

I have seen worlds bathed in the Makers’ flames, their denizens fading without so much as a whimper. Entire planetary systems born and razed in the time that it takes your mortal hearts to beat once. Yet all throughout, my own heart devoid of emotion… of empathy. I. Have. Felt. Nothing. A million-million lives wasted. Had they all held within them your tenacity? Had they all loved life as you do?

Perhaps it is your imperfections… that which grants you free will… that allows you to persevere against all cosmically calculated odds. You prevail where the Titan’s own perfect creations have failed.
