The Queue: Zen Fishing

All I need in life right now is to sit on a fluffy cloud and spend all day fishing while gently floating above a placid body of water.

This is The Queue. You know the drill.


CHAPTER ONE: IN WHICH HIGH DENSITY WAFFLE PONDERS THE SKELETAL STRUCTURE OF FANTASY RACES

1) To save myself from logging in, what timewalking dungeons is featured this week?

2) How many bones do you think each race in WoW have?

1) The Burning Crusade.

2) Two.

Wait, do you mean like all of the races combined?

Twelve.


CHAPTER TWO: IN WHICH LEFTY REFLECTS ON THE CURRENT EVENT

What are the top 3 things you want to drop for you during this collection event?

I haven’t even started trying to collect stuff yet (life has been hectic), but I guess I’d go with:

  1. Ashes of A’lar
  2. Onyxian Drake
  3. Mimiron’s Head

What can I say, I’m old school. (And not a big old raid runner, so I haven’t collected any of those in all these years.)


CHAPTER THREE: IN WHICH JALAMENOS GROWS CONCERNED ABOUT LORE CONSISTENCY

Did we ever get an explanation for how Nordrassil bounced back so dramatically from being burnt to a crisp at the end of Warcraft 3?

I’m just gonna steal MusedMoose’s answer here:

According to the WarCraft wiki, it was severely damaged in WC3, but grew back by the time of Cataclysm. And according to the timeline, the battle at Mount Hyjal happened in year 21, and Cataclysm started in year 28. I think it’s reasonable that a tree being tended to by druids could regrow plenty in seven years.


CHAPTER FOUR: IN WHICH KALCHEUS RUNS OLD CONTENT AS A DRUID

Q4tQ Do Druids have a way to survive a long fall if they can’t enter flight form?

If you have access to Moonkin Form, you can use Flap.

If you’re in a no-fly zone but can still enter regular Travel Form (the ground one) and you’re talented into Wild Charge, you can hit that shortly before hitting the ground.

If all of that fails, switch into Cat Form and hope its build-in fall damage protection is enough.


CHAPTER FIVE: IN WHICH ARTHONOS LISTEN TO GREAT MUSIC

Two song covers enter:
first one
second one

The first one! Sounds like Ocotpath done Chrono Trigger-style, but lo-fi. I like it a lot.


CHAPTER SIX: IN WHICH MUSEDMOOSE DEALS WITH THE SHADOWS AND THE ARCANE

Does your love of a class in one game ever translate to loving that same class in another game? Asking because while I like both rogues and mages in WoW, the current season of Diablo IV has taught me that I don’t really like that game’s rogue but I also love that game’s mage.

It usually does. Or, at least, I tend to try my favorite archetypes in most games.

With that said, I completely agree with you, on all accounts. I also love those two archetypes (the rogue and the mage), and I share your exact opinions: the Rogue in D4 is just not really fun for me, while the Sorceress is my favorite class overall.


CHAPTER SEVEN: IN WHICH KALCHEUS ASKS RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS AS HE RESTS FROM RUNNING OLD CONTENT AS A DRUID

1) Q4tQ Would you have preferred that instead of the increased drop chances each Warband could choose one mount from any source to automatically receive?

2) Q4tQ Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, or other?

3) What is your go-to BBQ food?

1) Not really. Cause that’s not “gameplay,” in my opinion. Love it or hate it, I feel like the event needs to be something where we actually work towards something by playing the game, rather than just selecting something from a list.

2) I’m gonna go with good ol’ Caesar Salad on this one. But that’s usually only on certain occasions. Day to day life, I just have… salad. You know, green leaves and tomato and stuff.

3) I’m not a huge BBQ person to be honest. But I really like burgers.


CHAPTER EIGHT: IN WHICH BOVEN WHITEHOOF SHOWS HE’S A SCHOLAR AND A GENTLEBULL

What kind of flowers should I bring Mayla when I pick her up to take her to the Midsummer Dance?

Gardenias. Mayla seems like a girl who would appreciate their simplicity and their sweet kind of beauty.


CHAPTER NINE: IN WHICH RETPALLYJIL SAYS IT’S PIZZA TIME!

Q4tQ:

Do you think the mushroom hat needs a pizza texture?

You know what? I do now!

It could even be… Mushroom pizza.

All hail F’shoo!


CHAPTER TEN: IN WHICH XERIANNE WATCHES AS KALCHEUS RUNS OLD CONTENT AS A DRUID, AND HAS THOUGHTS

Why does Kal have all this events luck on mount drops so far?

KAL 😡

This has been The Queue. Take care and be good to each other, or the Old Gods will eat you.
