The Queue: Let’s have a wedding

I don’t want to spoil anything, but holy crow, Drustvar is an incredible zone. It’s everything I want out of a “spooky” zone, and it’s awesome enough that I will actually encourage you to have a max-level Alliance character just so you can experience… or, if you happen to get alpha/beta at any point, just make a pre-made character and go through it that way.

Anyhow, it’s Queue time. Let’s see what questions we have today!

Yes, I would absolutely tell Blizzard it would be okay to cut corners to make some of the “out there” races playable. I don’t want no armor, mind you, and I would like character customization (skin/hair color, etc.), but I’d be fine if some aspects were limited.

If Tuskaur needed corners cut to happen, do it. If Arakkoa wouldn’t show armor, fine, I don’t care. Any other form of undead models, hell yeah! Totally fine with sacrificing some things to make these races happen.

Yes, my raid team has used Vantus Runes to help kill particularly nasty progression bosses. There might be a placebo effect for some, but I honestly think the Runes helped to eke out that last bit of DPS that was holding us back (either from a kill or a phase transition or what have you). I’m all for Blizz continuing them in the next expansion, but really, I’m all for them continuing anything that makes professions useful.

Zerg Leviathan for sure. I’m slightly torn on the second question, but I’ll give it to the Vindicaar because magic pew pew.

Y’know, I’m not really sure. I was around for that, and I absolutely loved it. It was just plain ol’ stupid fun, and that’s a solid April Fools joke, if you ask me. Perhaps they haven’t done it again because — even for only a day — that sort of thing could mess up the esports/competitive scene. I mean, certain mounts and skins are banned in official tournament play because of how different they look from the normal heroes, so it’s not too unlikely that big heads could be considered part of that same vein.

I love the little nod to Sentry Totem, but the Knaifu stuff is also pretty damn great.

2BE: Gamon. Always Gamon.

I can’t speak for the first two (maybe Anne or Rossi can, though?), but Zandalar actually has one quest or another that mentions Zul’s visions being wrong. According to him, the whole continent was supposed to sink, which is why he peaced out for a while. Obviously, that didn’t happen, but Nazmir is — as far as I’m aware — far more swampy than it used to be. All in all, any damage caused by Deathwing isn’t nearly as noticeable as, say, the gaping chasm in the Barrens.

All of them!

Really, though, I don’t have a solid answer for this. Chromie probably does, but I don’t know if she’d be able to explain it without crazy diagrams and lots of headaches.
