The Queue: Oh boy, jousting

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

It’s probably just a result of the new character models, but I was both surprised and delighted to see just how annoyed my poor leveling stream character looked once we were saddled up in Trial of the Champion. Because let’s face it, jousting wasn’t fun. It was mostly annoying and kind of clunky. …it was, however, still miles above doing Oculus, so at least there was that to be pleased about, right? Let’s get to your questions.


The Queue: Ren squared

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

I suppose, given the immense popularity of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, that it was only a matter of time before people started rigging together transmogs inspired by characters from the film. But I definitely didn’t expect to see two Kylo Rens in one spot. Awkward? Awkward. Just after taking this screenshot, the one on the right flipped a table, though I’m not sure whether it was out of frustration with Kylo Two, or he was just channeling his dark side.


The Queue: #Rogues

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

You know, while I really like the idea of Rogues being able to pickpocket each other in Class Halls and all that (I still haven’t fully tested that feature on the alpha), I’m kind of hoping we’ll see more added to the Class Hall itself. Specifically, more notable names or, because Rogues don’t exactly have a ton of notable names in lore, fun little side events. Like suddenly one day out of nowhere, all glasses, plates and silverware are mysteriously missing. Or all the paintings. Or all the books. Make it rotate, and never give away exactly who is pilfering all the good stuff. I don’t know, little flavor vignettes sound like fun to me. You know what else sounds like fun? Answering your questions, so let’s get to that. Please note: There is talk of Legion in this edition of the Queue, so if you’re avoiding anything spoiler-ish, fair warning!


The Queue: Winter wonderland

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Well I don’t know about the rest of you, but the weather here decided to give us a white Christmas and dump a truckload of snow over the course of the day. On the one hand it’s very pretty, on the other I have places to be this weekend that are kind of contingent upon my getting the car out of the driveway, so I’m hoping it disappears in the next 24 hours or so. But hey! Another day, another Queue, and more questions to answer, right? Let’s get to those.
