The Queue

Huntsman has been hunted! My guild got Mythic Huntsman last night, after a couple of em-bear-assing wipes that certainly weren’t caused by an overeager bear forgetting a Very Important Mechanic. Now that Huntsman is no more it’s time to move on to the next hardest boss in Castle Nathria checks notes — Heroic Sire Denathrius??

It turns out that the difficulty curve of Nathria is a little disjointed. Mythic Shriekwing and Mythic Huntsman are both considered easier than Denathrius. Which after having pulled him 18 times and only barely having a handle on what’s going on in his second phase — I understand why people say that. There’s so much damage going out, while he’s throwing everything and the kitchen sink at you. We haven’t even reached the final phase where the fun really begins! I’m looking forward to the satisfaction that comes when we finally dust him.

In the meantime, I take you now to — The Queue.

It’s been a discombobulating kind of week, so let’s ignore it and talk about video games instead.

You may remember that the last time I A’d your Qs, we were on the verge of another Splatfest. Well, as is usually the case with these things, the more popular team — Stars, by a long shot — ended up losing the overall Splatfest. But hey, maybe the real Splatfest was the friends we made along the way.

Anyhow, it’s Thursday, which means it’s Queue time!

I have not played either of the recent Doom games from id software, but I absolutely love the music from them both. They’re excellent I’m going to go transmog farming and absolutely blow everyone up music.

Oh, and I meant to talk about Player Housing but pretty much everyone talked about what I would have anyway, so I didn’t have to.

Once again it is Tuesday, and once again I definitely did not forget it was server maintenance and as such I am using a current screenshot I planned and took in advance before the servers went down, not an older one. Yes, this definitely reflects the current state of things in-game! Nothing at all to mark this as time-sensitive!

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we definitely don’t procrastinate on the answers.

Shriekwing? More like Death-wing, amirite? Wait…

My raid just got our first Mythic Shriekwing kill and it feels pretty great. We’ve spent maybe a little more time in lower difficulties getting gear than we necessarily needed, but now we’re getting some real progress! After Shriek we went and took a look at the Huntsman and his Dogs, and they wound up taking us for a walk. I think we’ll be able to get it with a bit more practice, but it was nice seeing that it wasn’t a gigantic step up in difficulty from Shriek. The funniest part to me is that both Mythic Shriekwing and Huntsman are supposedly easier than Heroic Denathrius. So we’ve started in on Mythic without putting the final nail in his coffin.

While I read up on some strategies for the next few bosses, it’s time for — The Queue.

It had to end. It had to end. I have too many screenshots of my various Warriors I wasn’t going to get to use for a Queue header because of that Chaddius. It had to end. I was getting the shakes from not showing off my latest shirtless transmog!

It had to end, and it has, the only way it could.

This is the Queue. Chaddius has left the building.

We are the Chaddius. You will be assimilated. You will be provided with a nice pool to relax at, and a pair of kickin’ sunglasses.

Resistance is futile.

I have no idea what’s going on right now. But never let it be said I won’t go along with a joke, if only to see if Mitch decides to play along.

Have you ever seen a small owl-like creature pulled out from the ether and its impeccable fashion sense lets you know immediately that you’ve found a kindred spirit?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer them with our new best friend.
