The Queue: But what about Phoenixperson?

It’s not exactly a secret that I’m a big fan of Rick and Morty. This past Sunday was the Season 3 finale, and it… well, it was okay. I didn’t expect Evil Morty (like a lot of people apparently did), but I can’t decide if Phoenixperson showing in the premiere and then never again throughout the season is the most Roiland/Harmon thing ever, or if it’s the result of some behind-the-scenes changes they had to make mid-production.

Either way, it’s gonna be a long wait for Season 4. Here’s hoping we get a holiday special this winter. Anyhow, here’s The Queue.

This is actually something Anne and I were discussing recently, and I definitely think it has some credence. The thing about prophecies and their ilk is that they can be intentionally vague — it’s what makes them tricky to figure out until after they’ve happened.

I think with the appearance of Alleria, there’s a good chance the Loa had something else in mind when they spoke to Vol’jin. Right now, we haven’t seen too much in the way of leadership from Sylvanas, save for her machinations in Stormheim. I think once we actually see her do something specifically as the leader of the Horde — whether that be 8.0, 8.x, or some other expansion — we’ll have a better idea if the Loa were referring to her or not.

1. If you’re talking about finding, say, 21 of the treasures on one character and then the 22nd (and final) on a different character and then earning the achievement, I don’t think that’s how it works. Wowhead lists them as quests and doesn’t mention anything about the achievement being account-bound, so I think you need to get them all on one character. Plus, if it didn’t work that way, you’d have to choose which character to open each chest on instead of being able to get them all on every character. When servers are up, though, I’ll double check this.
2. As others mentioned, Altoholic will do what you’re looking for, albeit not from the actual character-selection screen. I’m not sure any addon exists that would be able to do that, since (I think) the game loads them when you log into a character, rather than when you log into WoW.

Sorry if those were a bit vague. If anyone has anything more definitive, please feel free to (politely) say so in the comments.

I think some evenings, it’ll snuggle up with you to keep up appearances (and because it secretly loves snuggling), but most of the time, it probably floats off to go do stuff and things. I imagine Knaifu doesn’t so much float around as she does whisper into anyone within the vicinity, but the two of them probably have a weekly meet-up or something where they play Risk: Azeroth Edition.

Yogg-Saron is a favorite of mine for both obvious (Shadow Priest things) and less obvious (beating his hard mode back in Wrath is still a highlight of my WoW career) reasons. But outside of him, let’s see… I guess Ossirian the Unscarred from AQ20 comes to mind, just because I still remember waking up at like 6 a.m. to run with the super-awesome Singaporean group and clearing that place. My Warlock (still my main at the time) got the staff off him and I still use it — along with the rest of his Vanilla outfit — as transmog. Plus, he has a cool, blue model.

Oh man, this is kinda tough. It’s also why I have a gigantic collection of floors and wallpapers in Animal Crossing — there are so many combinations that look totally rad it’s hard to pick just one. I’ve seen a few places (restaurants, roller rinks, etc.) that have done classic Mario-themed rooms, and I’ve always liked those. Picture the above, but maybe Super Mario World instead of Super Mario Bros. — of course, there are a lot of other games that would work.

What do y’all think would work well? Personally, it’s hard to pick just one theme… Good luck choosing, Raz! :P

Simple answer? Because it is.

Shadow’s always had a bit of a ramp-up component that’s hindered its DPS in short-term fights, but Voidform sort of doubled down on that in a lot of ways. Granted, outside of Voidform, it’s not like we’re totally incapable of dealing damage, but we certainly get more use out of it in group content than solo content.

{PB}However, I think there’s another issue going on here — player psychology and not wanting to “waste” Voidform in solo content. I know that the first few weeks of Legion, it took me a while to be willing to pop Voidform in scenarios that didn’t seem “worth it.” However, between Legacy of the Void and Lingering Insanity, I pop Voidform willy-nilly nowadays and — even if I don’t get maximum usage out of it — it still helps.

Similarly, if I use Voidform and something dies shortly after, I have no issues popping Disperson (to halt Insanity drain) and booking it to the next pack of mobs. It doesn’t always feel nice to use cooldowns in situations where they won’t be 100% utilized, but if you can get over that mental roadblock, it feels a little more useful out in the world.

Yup! Back on September 1, this was included as a hotfix (since it initially was bugged to be unobtainable), and you just… well, get it, once you hit 110.

All the damn time, Lotharfox… all the damn time.

Assuming we’re talking ETC the HotS character and not ETC the full band, I gotta say… I’m not really a fan of ETC. I don’t know if it’s because I find all his skins kinda boring or because he’s relatively basic as far as Warriors in HotS go (which, in general, is actually probably a good thing). On top of that, I have an affinity toward all things Undead, so I give this round to DeathMetalKnight.

Plus, that guy seems to always stay at “zero” health for ages before finally giving in and dropping dead for real. ETC hasn’t ever done that, to my knowledge.

Is it already time to say goodbye? Apparently so — but fear not! Unlike Rick and Morty, I’ll be back in the very near future. Until then, leave things for Liz. Let’s go back to nice things this week — puppies and the like.
