The Queue

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

I tried very hard to answer every question that was given to me today, but unfortunately column restraints meant I couldn’t get to all of them. I didn’t actually discover this until I’d finished answering literally all of them — apparently the Queue doesn’t like it when you answer a good twenty questions at once. But hey — it’s my last Queue column for a while. I had to try, right? So let’s get to those questions y’all have.

So, I’ve switched Queue days with Elizabeth Harper, so this is our last Friday Queue. Don’t worry, I’ll be taking over Wednesday as of next week. So I won’t be leaving you all. I’m sure you are sad.

I’m playing a Dark Iron Dwarf Paladin and enjoying it so far. I’m terrible at it, but that’s besides the point.

Here’s the Queue. Let’s talk about the R. That’s a joke. Not a good one, but a joke.

I hope you find my stupid joke as funny as I do. I also hope that I’ve gotten that song stuck in your head for at least a little bit.

Listen to it while we Queue!

I still love this song. And since Anna decided it was earworm time on the Queue, I might as well try and give mine to you.

Hi. I’m Matt. I’m doing the Queue today. What are you all doing?

Thanks to y’all I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day so now you also have to suffer through The Queue. This is that Queue, where we answer any burning questions you may have, whether or not they’re related to Blizzard games. More Blizzard games are better, but hey we all have to go off book sometimes, right?

I think one of the nicest parts of having Classic around and the old world back again is the restoration of zones that were thoroughly altered in Cataclysm. Take Azshara for example — I loved the place in vanilla. Sure, there wasn’t a lot to do there, but the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the Goblin themed zone as it stands now and I do love that it’s been filled with quests…but sometimes I just miss the days when it was a relatively quiet place to skulk around and try not to get ganked by rampaging dragonkin, you know? Let’s get to your questions.

People have this real tendency to assume that they way they feel about something is universal. Suramar is just one example. I see it held forth as this masterpiece, and I’m glad you enjoyed it, but no, it wasn’t universally beloved and Blizzard knows this. They can’t just keep doing zones like Suramar or people will quit the game. They have a very difficult task of always trying to deliver new experiences — sometimes those experiences can draw upon previous ones, but they can’t just be those again.

Especially Suramar. Some of us really hated it. I honestly, gleefully moved to the Broken Shore because there I could just kill things.

That doesn’t make you wrong for liking it, but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong for not enjoying it. I’d be fine with them making Suramar style content again, as long as it was something I could skip entirely. I very deliberately avoid stealth in WoW. Making me engage in it made me blisteringly angry.

Loads of MitchCoin to anyone who understands my title.

It’s time to Queue.

Whenever I write up Hearthstone Brawls, I get told that I’m too negative. (But can I really be at fault when so many Brawls are all frustrating RNG?) So today I’m turning my critical eye on WoW.

You’re welcome, everyone who dislikes my Hearthstone articles.

I’m all about the elf-with-braids trend from yesterday’s Queue. In fact my Hunter is more than happy to show off… oh, who am I kidding. We all know the star of the show is Rutherford Bear Hayes.

This is The Queue, where you give us Qs and we supply the As.
