The Queue: Rest well, big man

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 doubt he’s satisfied. He got vengeance for his son, but Genn lost all of Gilneas, too. The Forsaken robbed his entire kingdom from him. Heck, even if Genn is satisfied, the situation is now flipped. Sylvanas saw what she was doing as giving a future to the Forsaken. Genn took that from her. If anything, Sylvanas will now want to return fire on Greymane.

I don’t see the conflict from these two meeting any sort of resolution. They have a personal vendetta that goes in both directions.

While I think the faction divide is utterly silly and doesn’t jive at all with the overall story they tell in World of Warcraft, it’s probably here to stay. They’ll always find a reason to keep it around.

First, I’d want Jaina Proudmoore mostly because I adore Laura Bailey’s voicework. She’s great. More Laura Bailey in Heroes? Also great.

Second, I feel like a Lucio announcer pack would be great for the self-esteem. Do a good job? Lucio would be the first to let you know. Mess up and die? Lucio would be there to let you know it’s okay, no big deal, you’ll do better next time, because you’re awesome.

Look at you! You’re gonna do great!

I don’t think Warcraft has any characters quite like that. The Undertaker has been a near-constant presence in the pro wrestling business for longer than most of the Blizzard Watch readership has been alive. He goes beyond being an entertaining character: he was influential in every level of the business. For the latter half of his career, he used his insane popularity often to uplift other talent in the industry rather than bury it. He was a headliner who used that to benefit everyone: up-and-comers were vaulted into the spotlight by being paired with or against ‘Taker.

The dude spent decades in the spotlight doing these things. There’s a human element to him characters in Azeroth simply don’t have. There’s no character in a video game who can claim they did the things Undertaker did. He didn’t become an icon simply by wrasslin’. If you want a person who embodies the Undertaker’s legacy, someone who left a mark on a generation and spent years uplifting others in a creative capacity… you’re probably looking at someone like Chris Metzen who already had that moment.

I don’t know where she is, but I hope she’s in Kul Tiras becoming a pirate queen to lead her armada against Azshara and N’Zoth in the next expansion.

Gold is used to purchase heroes and reroll the contents of a specific loot box. You can only reroll a loot box a certain number of times and the cost increases each time you reroll that box. Rerolling boxes is mostly intended for people who already own all of the characters and have no other purpose for their gold.

Gems buy loot boxes and “Featured Items” which are specific rotating skins. Otherwise, skins come from loot boxes. Loot boxes include all of the cosmetic rewards: Skins, Sprays, Banners, Announcers, Voice Lines, Emoji, and anything else I may have forgotten.

Any duplicates you get from loot boxes become Shards. Shards can be used to “craft” specific items. Is there a skin you really want but loot boxes aren’t giving it to you? Save up your Shards to craft it outright.
