How talent trees evolved from WoW’s launch to Cataclysm — and how Dragonflight harkens back to them
The huge talent revamp that came with Dragonflight's first pre-patch is only the latest model of many, many talent iterations over World of Warcraft's 18 year history.
What are you planning to do with your last month in the Shadowlands?
Technically, it's not even a month, but that's where we are -- on November 28, we'll be heading to the Dragon Isles to see what's in store for us.
The Queue: A gentle digression
My cat Puck, in the wake of Aurora’s passing this year, has become very vocal at night. We suspect it’s out of loneliness, as she and Aurora shared a bed overnight and kept each other company. Since I’m awake anyway, I’ve been letting her come and sleep in my office while I’m trying to work. It’s not always ideal, but here we are.
Anyway, hi, y’all. I’m pitching in for Liz while she does the 10,000 things that need doing at any given time.
This is the Queue. Try and be quiet, please, Puck is asleep right now.
How did Hallow’s End treat you so far?
Well, it's almost over and I don't know about y'all but I got absolutely nothing from Hallow's End this year.
What happens during the Dragonflight time skip?
One of the things we're going to notice once Dragonflight is here in full force is that things are a little different in Azeroth, due to a longer than usual break between the events of the last expansion and those of the next.
Rated Solo Shuffle lets you PVP as a lone wolf, now with added bragging rights in Dragonflight
Solo Shuffle was added in Shadowlands patch 9.2, the Eternity's End patch, as a brawl for players who wanted to get Arena-style PVP without having access to a dedicated partner or group to play with.
A Very Good Doggo™ portrait barks back in Overwatch 2’s Bride of Junkenstein event
Overwatch 2's first-ever holiday, Halloween Terror, arrived this week and with it came an entirely new, PVE mission: Wrath of the Bride.
The Queue: A continuous sense of terror
Hi. It’s the Queue. I’m Matt. When I am extremely tense or scared I resort to hyperrationality as a defense. I apologize for how this may affect today’s Queue.
What are you gonna do your first day with the Dragonflight pre-patch?
World of Warcraft is bringing the first of two Dragonflight pre-patches this week, and today we get the expansion's various mechanical changes like the new talent system and the loss of the Shadowlands tier set bonuses.
Will we get a Cataclysm Classic after Wrath Classic? The answer is a solid “maybe”
While we don't have confirmation that there will be a Cataclysm Classic after Wrath Classic, I believe it's inevitable, simply because WoW Classic is tremendously popular.
