The Queue: Smash it with a hammer

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 completely forgot, in my leveling alts and grinding reputation, that I hit the requirements to unlock Dark Iron Dwarves as an Allied Race. Whoops! The situation has now been corrected, and I have a charming and not at all terrifying little ball of Monk to level at some point in the future, when I’m done with…you know, everything else I have to level. Terribly sorry Moira, didn’t mean to neglect you!


The Queue: When a game makes you cry

I’ve been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and guys, I’m in love with this game. Smart, funny, written extremely well and last night I hit a part of the game that legitimately made me cry and feel awful for Kassandra.

And yeah, of course I’m playing Kassandra, why wouldn’t I?

This is the Queue. Let’s talk about stuff.


The Queue: I am suffering for you

I don’t necessarily mind doing LFR. I’m a healer, so I get quick queues and I’m not likely to be vote-kicked for lulz. But LFR isn’t always fun. Some encounters are too challenging for a disorganized group. Sometimes you wind up getting grouped with jerks that you don’t even want to spend virtual space with. Sometimes you wipe dozens of times surrounded by people you hate and you really start to question your life choices.

Which is a roundabout way of saying that I don’t LFR when I don’t have a reason to, and at present I outgear it. That would usually mean I can ignore it, but I went in to investigate for you. So I hope you appreciate my sacrifice.


The Queue: Fancy meeting you here

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!

You know, I probably should’ve expected Bwonsamdi would show up if I managed to get in over my head on Zandalar, but the thought hadn’t actually occurred to me until it happened. I mean, I guess I’d be annoyed with his little jabs, but he’s got one of the best voices in the game so I don’t exactly mind listening to his chitchat.

Let’s answer some questions, shall we?


The Queue: Hey, you’re all cool people

Just always try and remember that, okay? You’re all cool people and you should be cool to each other. You deserve it and it’s worth repeating from time to time when things get harder. If you’re having a hard time, I hope it gets better soon. For all of us.

I can’t decide if I want playable Ogres or Vrykul more.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk Blizzard.


The Queue: The gang goes raiding

So the South Park kids are known to play Warcraft and other Blizzard games; but you know who I’d really like to get see get into WoW or Overwatch?

The gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Frank would obviously be an orc warrior tank, Dee would be forced to play a balance druid in moonkin form, Charlie would be an assassination rogue riding around on his rat mount while slowly turn into The Nightman, Mack would play a priest (I went there), and Dennis would be a ret pally.

Tell me that doesn’t work. I dare you.


The Queue: Bored now (or not)

I have to say, it’s very hard to be bored when you’re being chased down by several dozen whelplings. Sure, they’re only baby dragons, but they have so many tiny teeth and a small fireball will scorch you as well as a big one.

But just because I’m not bored doesn’t mean it’s not boring.


The Queue: Tempered expectations

Hey, remember a few weeks back when I asked you to list some songs that sounded happy but had not-happy lyrics? I finally got around to making your suggestions into a playlist. Check it out sometime. And let me know if I happened to miss anything — “Don’t Burn the Day” and this fight music were the only two that I couldn’t find.

Oh yeah, some songs have NSFW lyrics. Listen with headphones or at your own discretion or something.

Give that a listen (or don’t, I can’t tell you what to do) while you read this edition of… THE QUEUE!!!!
