The Queue: Please ask more questions edition

No, really, ask some questions. Obviously right now I’m asking for questions for Cory on Monday, but if you could remember to ask questions for me next week I would be very happy.

Let’s Queue.

Blood Elf. It’s red and bright yellow gold with green accents, which, okay, is the Blood Elf color scheme, but also it doesn’t match anything. That peculiar shade of gold matches nearly nothing, and the bold primary red is nearly as bad. Give me some more questions so I can make my own weird heritage armor combinations.

Troll, Draenei, Pandaren, and Dracthyr — at least if you count Dracthyr, who do have unique armor that they get when they roll their characters. Blizzard has been adding these in a very strange order. Troll is the last original race that’s doesn’t have Heritage Armor, but plenty of later races already have theirs.

Probably not. It sounds like a neat class, but even though I think Diablo Immortal is actually a great game, the way the game pesters you to spend money is exhausting. I don’t have the energy for it. Plus between the deluge of new WoW content and Diablo 4 (Season 1 starts next week!) I just don’t have time — and that’s only counting video games. I’ve got Critical Role to catch up on, I want to watch Rebels before Ahsoka premieres next month, and if I’m watching Rebels I should start with Clone Wars, shouldn’t I? (I’ve watched Clone Wars before, but it’s been a while, and I never watched Rebels.) We’re planning to start a Blizzard Watch Pathfinder game (meaning I need to learn to play Pathfinder), and I’ve been running some campaigns that have been semi-abandoned lately because I’ve been busy… I’d like to get back to them, but time is ever the enemy.

Also I’m easily distracted, so there’s a chance I won’t do any of that. But Diablo Immortal probably isn’t on the list.

Blizzard has taken multiple methods to add big transformations to races. In some cases they’re all new races, and in some cases they’re customizations to existing races. So Dwarves can be standard Dwarves or Dark Iron Dwarves — different races. But neither of them have customizations to be Wildhammer Dwarves. Humans don’t just have new body types: there are Humans and Kul Tirans. Blood Elves can have green or gold eyes, go for a High Elf look with blue eyes, or lean into the Sylvanas style with red eyes and gray-tinged skin. There are Tauren and Highmountain Tauren, even though they’re pretty much the same except for the horn style — and Yaungol fall in that same category.

Personally I’d like to see more body types for all races. Tall or short? Muscle-bound or slender? But so far we’ve only seen this as new races, so I’m not sure it’s likely to get these as customizations rather than new races.

But then again, the addition Eredar surprised me, so maybe Blizzard will keep surprising me.

I love transmog and I love classic Scholomance so I love this. I also don’t think transoms should be removed — particularly the Legendary quest chains. Just make it so the cloak doesn’t have value, but let people play through the story quests and collect the look.

WoW is sometimes just a very elaborate game of dress-up, which means the more transmog the better.

And that’s all I have for now, my friends. Have a great weekend, pet your dogs (or cats), and take care of yourself. I’ll catch you back here next week.
