So yeah, went along on a raid of Antorus with some friends in my main’s guild — I’m usually not awake for their raid times but I was around today so I went for it. Picked up two piece Tier, upgrade on the shoulder and ring slot and a relic slot upgrade so all in all it was worth it, plus I got to see the fights in a non-LFR way. Normal, so most of the folks there outgeared it and I was essentially being carried, but it was still fun and it made me wish I was awake that late more often.

Plus before the raid I got a polearm I’ve been trying to get since the end of Warlords of Draenor, so I’m happy all around.

It’s the Queue. Folks asked me some solid questions so I’m going to answer them now.

The Trial of Style is ending for now -- it's the first time I've given it a try. I missed it last time, and frankly I'm glad I did it this time around.

Alan Dabiri, Game Director of Heroes of the Storm, enjoys teasing us.

We're still seeing more Allied Race information on the alpha thanks to the tireless efforts of dataminers like the folks at Wowhead.

We've already gotten a look at the Zandalari Druid travel forms, their caster form and their tanking form.

Once again I feel compelled to warn you of impending spoilers for the story of Battle for Azeroth.

Okay.

If you're an Overwatch player or just an utter nerd for the game's lore like I am, you probably know that Blizzard has announced that the next playable hero is Brigitte Lindholm.

Remember when I said yay, it's fixed in regards to that Diablo 3 matchmaking bug?

This Queue is dedicated to my Night Elf Warrior, who became my main in Legion. Before her, my Draenei Warrior was my main in Warlords and Mists of Pandaria, and my Tauren was my main in Cataclysm. One of the reasons I like having so many Warriors is so I can switch between them when an expansion feels thematically more suited to one of them, which I realize is kind of weird but whatever, you do you and I’ll do me.

I rolled a Lightforged and have been leveling him up, and hopefully he’ll be my main in Battle for Azeroth. I honestly have an RP reason why my Nelf is retiring. In the story as I tell it, she was utterly heartbroken by Thalyssra and the Nightborne choosing to join the Horde after all she did to save Suramar and likely she’ll die in the defense of Teldrassil, taking down a lot of Forsaken with her. Until we get there, she’s mostly tooling around Argus happily killing demons with her sidekick Darius Crowley, with no idea what the future will bring.

Just like my previous Warrior ended up retiring on Alt-Draenor, where he advises Yrel sometimes, and my Tauren died fighting Deathwing. Sometimes you gotta find a good way for them to go out. It’s a bit weird for me to keep leveling them as alts after I ‘kill’ them, but whatever, I’m not that consistent. I’m sure my Nelf will get leveled in Battle.

Anyway, here’s the Queue. Let’s get to it.
