The Queue: Amirdrassil, more like Achieve-drassil, amirite?
My raid ran into the toughest boss last night, the attendance boss, so we called an audible and cleared all of the Glory of the Dream Raider achievements. There was a good batch this time, nothing that was really all on one person to execute flawlessly, and certainly, nothing that involved us getting bounced up into the air and having to collect an orb before it landed. Larodar and the Council both even gave us an extra pet for our trouble!
I will say that I’m a little sad the mount for the achievement isn’t flashier. I guess there’s something to be said for that a giant saber-toothed cat with glowy purple energy coming off of it isn’t flashy, but if it really wanted me to be super excited it should’ve had a pair of wings! I mean that’s what my dream mount would have, so why can’t this one?!

What’s your favorite video game achievement?
The Queue: I don’t know what we’re yelling about
Even World of Warcraft got in on the fun last night from the Super Bowl!
Although at this point I have no idea what is happening in the original moment and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. So until then, I guess I’m just wondering what everyone’s yelling about!
Is it lamp?

How hard are you trying to get the X-45 Heartbreaker this year?
The Queue: What an excellent owl
This is an excellent owl model. I’m very glad that I get to spend some of the time flying around looking pretty similar to it. Even if I’ll likely never get the actual fire form unlocked unless I get very lucky in a future expansion.
Maybe excellent isn’t the right word for it. I’m sure that there’s another word for this owl that is similar to excellent, but maybe starts with an s.

How would you make Dragonriding races more fun?
The Queue: No one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Cory
That’s probably the biggest reason why I haven’t turned to a life of piracy on the high seas.
Also up there is a lack of a band of buccaneers including a master swordsman and a giant. Do you know how hard it is to find a pair like that? They’re one in a million for sure. Also, have you seen what the upkeep on a three-masted schooner is? I feel like every bit of booty I collected would probably just go back into the ship! Otherwise, it’d probably be crawling with rodents of above-average sizes.

The Queue: Staying warm, but not too warm
Oh boy, I have had a doozy of a week. I had to be the boss at work and that meant that I sadly could not write my Queue last week, but let’s give a nice big shout-out to Liz Patt who aced it! Luckily I was able to sneak in a raid and we’ve managed to get through Mythic Volcoross! 3/9 Mythic bosses down now, on to the Council!
Volcoross is another of those bosses that I feel like I should be able to skin, but can’t for some reason. If I can skin a Core Hound, why can’t I skin a giant lava snake?! They could’ve made it another source of Obsidian Cobraskin, especially since the Legendary Axe needs a bunch. I still can’t believe that only one creature supplies it and it’s so important for Mail wearers.
While I go and get my daily Elusive Cobra kill in, it’s time for — The Queue!
The Queue: That can’t be comfortable
When we killed Mythic Igira for the first time last night, she fell over in a most undignified position. Honestly, I’m surprised that she was bootable at all! Her feet were the only things sticking out on our side of the fence…

The Queue: It’s the most wonderful Queue of the Year (so far)
Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a fun and safe evening last night and are in for a nice cozy relaxing day today. As always it’s a pleasure to be here writing this for you all and I’m looking forward to all the Queues of the next year!
It’s time for — The Queue!
