The Queue: Oh no it’s Thursday

So yeah, I was sitting here thinking man, it feels like I’m forgetting something and then it dawned on me that what I was missing was that I was supposed to write the Queue. Heh.

Anyway, here we are, I’m panicking, here’s a Queue.

Honestly, I’m really finding Valdrakken to be a very inhabited city, full of people and places to go, lots of quests to pick up, and of course architecture that feels designed for dragons. It’s probably my #2, and my #1 is almost certainly Shattrath City from The Burning Crusade, which feels not like a living city at all, but does a great job at feeling like a refugee choked ruin of a once great city.

I think it’s always the case that people can be swayed to ends that would seem manifestly self-destructive — just look at any modern cult or your average Fox News viewer. But the Primalists have the advantage of having the Titans for ideological enemies — not only are they not here anymore, but even when they were, they didn’t tend to do things like explain themselves or take others welfare into account. Heck, if Algalon had gotten his way, everyone on Azeroth would be dead right now. It’s not hard to look good when you have entities that easy to make look bad for opponents.

I just wanted to take this moment to say I’m available to make your various Blacksmithing drops on Echo Isles US.

Also, yeah, I’ve bought a few rings and suchlike via work order. I like that part of the system, I just think crafting needs a few tweaks. It’s certainly the most engaged I’ve been with it in years.

I had a similar feeling but I’ve run it a few times since, and I think the frost boss is the worst one — the Earth boss didn’t take nearly as long. Ultimately, I don’t hate Storm’s Fury, but I feel like the whole Freezing mechanic is a bit annoying and having to buy a couple of stacks of what are essentially magical space heaters so that I don’t die is annoying.

After a day of running it on two characters, I think I feel more positively towards it than you do. But yeah, the frost boss needs a health nerf. He lasts forever. My hands got cramps I was hitting buttons for so long.

The Barkplate Vest. Why? Why not, I like it.

Grats, my guild is 7/8 Normal and is hitting up Heroic instead of pulling Raz, it’s a heck of a fight and I’m super happy for you that you killed her. It’s a very complex fight and I find it a bit daunting.

And yes, it was a coincidence, unless maybe it wasn’t and they have to bring you for all their progression from now on. Can’t risk it.

Okay, I hope you enjoyed, or at least can forgive, this Speed Run version of the Queue today. If I manage to get it out on time, that is.
