It occurred to me the other day that I literally can't go back to the first zone I played in on my main, because in Cataclysm they utterly changed it, changed it so completely that it doesn't even resemble the place I remember.

Okay, so it’s clearly a little too interested in that corpse there. But it’s still adorable!

It’s the Queue. We talk about Blizzard games. There may be spoilers for Legion. I’m listening to Synchronicity II from the album Synchronicity by the Police, or as I like to call them, Stewart Copeland‘s Lonely Heart’s Club Band. (The man was an amazing drummer.)

And now, your questions and my answers.

So I've gotten to play around with the two available Warrior specs in the Legion alpha, Fury and Protection.

Anyone around here like Therapy? — the band, not the psychological treatment. I mean, good on you if you like that one, but I was talking about the band. They’re one of my favorites, and I recommend you check them out.

Nothing to do with The Queue, just a band I like.

Anyway, your questions, I try and answer. Spoiler alert for Legion.

Yes, occasionally I like a nice pop song. I started writing this Queue on my birthday, but it’ll go live the day after, so you don’t have to get me a present. Of course, if you chose to do me a solid anyway, I wouldn’t say no.

Let’s talk about those Blizzard games, shall we? As always, we’ll likely end up talking about Legion so there will be spoilers. I’ll try to keep that to a minimum, but it is a site covering Blizzard games and we have to talk about it somewhat.

For Hunters, currently in the Legion Alpha you can only play as Survival, so I haven't had much direct hands on experience with the quests to gain the Marksman and Beast Mastery Artifacts.

Because don't we all need more Satanic Nightjar references in our lives?

Okay, so here's the deal -- I already have a piece of WoW immortality.

I have to say, one of the things I like about Legion is that all the demons we're fighting aren't also a playable race in one of the factions.

This is an image of the statue of Lady Mara Fordragon in the Paladin Class Hall underneath Light’s Hope.  We don’t really know that much about Lady Mara, save that she was High Clerist of Stormwind during the evacuation after Orcs set the city on fire during the end of the First War. She helped the refugees escape and served as their patron, and she’s probably dead now. She may have been related to (perhaps even mother to) Bolvar Fordragon, aka ‘Captain Toastybuns McDeadpants of Evil Snowcone Mountain’.

I’ve always liked that characters like her exist, heroes we don’t know all that much about, and I think the statue is pretty cool. So there it is.

This is the Queue. We’ll likely talk about Legion today, so be warned and on the lookout for spoilers.
