The Queue: Idle contemplations

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’ve been playing a Rogue since Burning Crusade and after watching the new NPCs in Boralus and elsewhere, I just have to express the keen amounts of envy I feel whenever I see an NPC indulging in a little knife tossing. I mean…why can’t I do that? Should player characters get new idle animation updates every now and again? If it means I can twirl my daggers around, I’m all for it, I’m just saying.


The Queue: Canon-ish

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!

When the Warcraft RPG books were basically declared non-canonical back in 2011, I had hopes that the idea of ‘not canon unless we make it canon’ would include Tandred Proudmoore. I’m still incredibly happy to see him in-game, and that Jaina has an actual family she can lean on now. This does make me wonder if we’ll see anyone else from the RPG books pop up now, though…I really need to get my hands on those things and give them a once-over.

I also need to give your questions a once-over and answer them, so let’s get to that, shall we?
