The Queue: The real housewives of K’aresh

I’m spending this patch sitting on a bench with Lorewalker Cho with a bowl of popcorn watching the drama go down. Anyone want to join us?


MUSEDMOOSE ASKED:

Late Q4tQ: what’s the last achievement you got that you weren’t expecting?

Asking because I got this right at the end of the game – as the credits started. I’d tried for it, but it never popped up so I figured I missed something. But clearly there are ways to lose it even at the very end of the game, and as it turns out, I didn’t do those. Yay.

Not an achievement, but I recently got the Sea Turtle mount!

…in WoW Classic.

I wasn’t looking for it. I was just doing a little fishing to help level cooking, and there it was. I don’t even have this in retail. I just don’t know what to do with this information.

It’s very cute! It swims so fast! I love it!

I don’t think I love it enough to fish for it in retail. (What are the odds?)


HIGH DENSITY WAFFLE ASKED:

Do you think you’ll be able to leave your stove on when housing comes out?

I hope not! That’s a serious safety issue, and just think of the electric bill!

But also I expect all of my fireplaces to be running at the perfect level of cozy warmth whenever I walk in, so maybe my perspective of safety is a little skewed. Kitchen safety? Worried about the stove being on. Everywhere else safety? Keep those fireplaces running 24/7.


MOVEWOW ASKED:

Or the water running in the bath tub. I’d love to be able to call other player on a phone and ask them if their refrigerator is running.

Flooding might put out my perfectly calibrated fireplaces, which would ruin the cozy quotient of the house! So no one is leaving the water running.


RED SAID:

oh man, I wonder if I gotta log into every single character and check every single bank

This is a Schrödinger’s bank situation. When you don’t check, the bank is simultaneously updated and not updated, in an endless state of possibility, of uncertainty. Your precious items are simultaneously safe and destroyed forever.

Why bother checking? It will only give you a definite answer, and perhaps an answer that you don’t want.


THOMAS STRANGE ASKED:

Does anyone know if the Arathi Highlands questline is still around, or was it a limited time thing for 11.1.7 only? I never got around to it.

Also, I never had time to login and try Underpin. Brann didn’t get his hat back. Boo.

Because I’m in the same boat, I’m happy to report that the Arathi Highlands quest is still here.


ARTHONOS SAID:

So Blizzard is forcing early pre-orders on those who want to take part in the “Race to World First: Fully Decorated House edition”, shame.

HOPE NOBODY ELSE EXPECTS TO WIN THIS RACE, BECAUSE I AM ALL IN GUYS.

My house will be perfect.

Come on housewives, let’s start prepping our homes to be. We have so much work to do to attain perfection (but I’m still hoping to get there first).

That’s the Queue for today. Everybody take care of yourself and hang in there — we’ve made it halfway through the week. We’re almost there!

I’ll see you in the comments section.
