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!

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly love Boralus any more…I mean, look at that. Coffee cups the size of my head and some delicious looking donuts to go with it. It’s Monday, it’s the Queue, it’s a holiday for some of you so let’s just settle in and answer some questions, shall we?

I’m currently wearing a mix of the DK PVP gear from Mists of Pandaria and the Death Knight Deathlord set from Legion to match with my sword. The Deathlord set isn’t as green as I would like. But it’s fairly green and it goes well with the PVP gear and the sword. It’s my Unholy set, since I find myself running Mythics as DPS a lot more often than as a tank — we have a pretty dedicated tank in my guild so when I tank it tends to be in PuG’s.

And yes, I really do need a red transmog for when I’m tanking and a green one for Unholy. If I was using Frost much (I’d try it, but I don’t have weapons for it) I’d have a blue transmog for it. This is really important, okay? No, no, it’s silly, I know that.

Let’s chat. Games and stuff.

This is totally not to be read into at all.

Does every question have an answer? While this column posits to answer all of you gaming questions… some questions don’t have a right or wrong answer.

But I’m here and you’re here, so let’s see what we can do to answer the unanswerable.

Much as I wanted to support my Gremlin Girl Pearl, it was hard to argue that spoons were more useful than forks once liquid meals were brought into the equation. And while spoons did ultimately win the popularity contest, forks still won the overall Splatfest. They barely won, but they won all the same.

Both sides won pretty close to 50% of their matches (with Forks slightly ahead), but I swear, I must have lost 75% of my matches. The Shifty Station this time around was another that helped emphasize both offense and defense, but I think I liked last month’s better. Let’s see what next month brings — and if the requirement of the Switch’s online service will change anything.

But that’s the future — right now it’s The Queue(ture).

Oh hello. We’re shuffling things around here a little bit, and I’m your new Monday Queue person. Have a seat. Have some cookies and milk. Let’s just take a snack break and answer some of your questions, shall we?

You just keep talking about Vulpera and Sethrak as Allied Races but you’re wrong. There is only one possible choice for Allied Race. It’s someone who’s been with us since the beginning. A constant companion providing light, hope, and a little buff to our spirit. (Because we could always use a little more spirit, right?)

Basic Campfire is the only choice for the next Allied Race.

Campfires will be able to chose between Mages and Warlocks and their customization options let you tweak their flame color and pattern. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t roll Basic Campfire, you just can’t, because Basic Campfire is just that awesome.

I didn’t know exactly how much fun it would be to be a giant ambulatory hand until presented with a World Quest that allowed me to do just that. Can we make these guys a new Allied Race? No? …drat. That’s okay, we still have a bunch of questions to answer!

I’m sure it’s fine, I’ll just… cram it under my breastplate or something. No, no, that’s fine. I wouldn’t want Azeroth to think I don’t appreciate the gesture.

Hi all. I’m filling in for Liz today, and then she’s taking over Friday. I found out at my Doctor’s visit today that my blood may well be super-packed with red blood cells and I may need to actually go and get blood taken out of me on a regular basis to treat it. I sympathize with Azeroth is what I’m saying.

It’s the Queue. If you have questions, leave them in the comments please.

Man, I love this expansion already. Here’s hoping Blizzard can keep this up the whole time.

Now, let’s Queue.
