So far, we seem to be taking part in a weirdly cyclical version of history, where things happen out of place and out of order from the timeline we know. But there's an undercurrent of familiarity, as if time was attempting to reassert itself.

Hi. Welcome to The Queue, where Blizzard Watch answers your questions. Today The Queue is under the control of Matthew Rossi (@matthewwrossi) and here we go.

So last night was my first Blackrock Foundry run, assuming you don’t count LFR (which I’m not) and it was interesting. My DPS went from really bad to sorta okay once I got two Taner’s Terrible Spine‘s off of Gruul. Expect a warrior column about raiding as Single-Minded Fury soon. It’s definitely interesting to gear switch from the days of 25 man heroic raiding to the new normal/heroic flex system – I doubt I’ll even look at mythic this expansion, and I’m fine with that. Getting my alt (who I guess is now my main?) geared up for raiding and getting him into BRF was interesting, it feels a lot like I just started playing WoW after a long break, although I didn’t actually take much of a break.

Anyway, on to your questions.

 

When I hit level 100 I had over 50k gold. I know, that's nothing, some of you are gold capped, but for me it was the best nest egg I've ever had going into an expansion. It's all gone now.

If you don't want more spoilers about patch 6.2 and the legendary questline, you should probably avoid this post.

Heroes of the Storm isn't even out of beta yet and I can't go a night without someone talking to me about playing it, so it's no surprise that the hype machine for the game is rolling on strong.

So, last week when patch 6.1 dropped, one of the secrets it contained was the mysterious Voidtalon of the Dark Star mount. We were told precious little about this mount - we didn't know where it could be found or what you had to do to find it. Well, as players are wont to do, they rolled up their sleeves and got to exploring Draenor, and reports are starting to trickle in.

There's an anecdote I like to tell about the first dungeon I ran at level 100.

It's no secret that I've been playing a lot more lately: leveling up a host of warriors, getting geared up, doing some raiding. It's been fun. But one thing I really hate is the feeling of compulsion, that I have to log on to get my followers all set doing missions, clean out my mine, go trap some critters for savage blood, etc.

I don't know how often I'll get to do a Diablo KYL, but in continuation of the first one we did, this week we're talking about the world of Sanctuary.

Guys, I seriously have zero idea what’s going on with this dress thing or why you keep asking me on twitter (@matthewwrossi if you’re curious) about what color it is. I play a warrior. I don’t wear dresses. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all a trick of GlaDOS.
