Update: The servers are back up early, so you can jump in and get playing right now if that's your thing.

Patch day is upon us, my friends, and World of Warcraft's patch 8.1.5, Tides of Vengeance, will bring a lot more changes to Azeroth.

We all have a dream, and my dream was to fly.

Or maybe just to answer questions. Who can keep track of these things?

I’ll see if we can avoid just talking about dogs today but who knows what the future holds for this Queue.

No, really. I checked.

I know, I know.

As someone who's been working through the normal and heroic modes of Battle for Dazar'alor, I thought LFR was going to be a disaster.

I’m sad, you’re sad, we’re all sad together. I was really starting to wallow in it, so I went and ran an LFR.

That is not exactly what I would call a cure-all for negative emotions — after all, LFR is packed with its own special blend of negativity — but it had an unexpected cheering effect. The group wasn’t too bad, and for the most part I could tunnel-vision on health bars and fight mechanics and blissfully not think about anything else for a while.

It was nice.

But now we’re back here in the Queue, and I’m still feeling pretty sad.

Good news, everyone!

It’s that time of week again: time for you to ask questions and me to provide, hopefully, answers that are at least somewhat accurate in response. so let’s do this, shall we?
