The Queue: behold!

My favorite thing about gaming is the weird lil guys. They’re rarer in AAA, but they’re there if you look.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we don’t have answers. Just fish.

I find the housing aspect of it kinda lukewarm. I don’t really want an Ebon Blade banner in my cozy lil cottage, and most of the quests related to Arcantina decor seem to be about that speed.

I love rubbing elbows with my sidekick homies from the past. Tehd and Marius, Thisalee Crow, even Bob from Hearthstone. For me, that’s the main draw: the little nostalgia hit.

But if you’re coming at it from a purely utilitarian standpoint, I actually do have the Arcantina Key on my utility bar where I also have stuff like my Dalaran hearthstone and my fishing casting hotkey. This is because when you return to the Arcantina, it always ports you to the main inn at the center of Silvermoon City, so that basically frees up my regular hearthstone to be set where I’m doing quests or whatever else. Right now it’s set somewhere in the middle of Harandar because I have a ton of loose quest ends in that zone. So, yep, probably going through the Arcantina a few times every day.

Starts off with season 1, yeah. And Twilight’s Blade seems to be the major antagonist, but also most of the Delves I’ve delved so far have been in Eversong, so it may be different in, say, Harandar. I do like the idea that our antagonist(s) may evolve through the seasons, too.

I will say though that The Grudge Pit is 10/10 no matter who I happen to be fighting.

I’m not sure why it would have changed with the new expansion, but there’s a new Mahra Treebender NPC in the small tent/gazebo with the crafting order and Artisan’s Consortium NPC you’re first directed to just on the right of the main road after you leave the Sunwell. Talk to her about turning off the visual display of your crafting equipment.

If you don’t attempt to save scum before doing something risky, regardless of whether it’s because of branched narrative or taking a leap of faith off the closest cliff, are you even gaming?

And yes, I also used to read Choose Your Own Adventure books and keep my fingers in the pages of my previous choices so I could flip backwards if it went bad.
