The Queue

What? Editors (and Gnomes) need to get their sleep in, too.

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!

Some days you just want to keep things simple. Let’s talk Blizzard games, everyone.

Cael1982 did a Spellbreaker class up in the comments yesterday. It’s not something I felt like I had a great answer to for today’s Queue but if you’re into that kind of thing (I always enjoy a bit of game design for fun) you should go read it and see what you think.

Continuing on with the ceiling tour — did you know the Violet Citadel has this crazy ornate wallpaper on the ceiling? For some reason, whoever built the upper balconies decided to wallpaper the ceiling below. It’s been there since Wrath (you can see it in both versions of Dalaran), but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it until now. I need to make it a point to look up more often!

I think my favorite part about the Xavius encounter in Emerald Nightmare is the distinct lack of…anything. That blank, gray nothing is somehow more terrifying than any hyper-rendered environment we’ve been plunked into over the years. I particularly like how the ceiling is just a vague criss-cross of something that might be branches, or vines, or any number of wholly unpleasant things. It’s just blank enough for your brain to self-insert all kinds of horrible things that might be lurking just out of view.

Hi!

I’m Shivara. Some of my friends call me Shivs. I don’t think it’s a really suitable nickname, I mean, Rogues shiv people. I tend to hit them with a really big glowing sword or axe or what have you. But yeah, I’m a Death Knight. It’s nice to meet you!

What? Oh, right, the whole ‘suffer well‘ thing. Look, I get that everybody over at Acherus is super into the whole ‘we are the damned, bound to the world by chains of our own misery’ deal, but the thing is? I go out and I make other folks suffer so I don’t have to. That’s pretty much all I do. Legion demons, crazed constructs, some kind of time monster… I put the hurt on them and as long as I keep doing that, I feel just fine. And it’s not like we’re in danger of running out of targets, as soon as we get done with the Legion I’m sure some new beasties will be lining up to get my evil monster axe right in the face.

So yeah! Let’s all have fun in the Queue today. You all seem like fun types.

Welcome to the Queue, where we say what we want, even when it’s weird and makes no sense. Sometimes especially when it’s weird and makes no sense.  Don’t understand today’s headline? That’s okay, because we’re all in the same boat.

Anyone else disappointed that none of the quests to kill Falcosaurs in WoW reference Falco?

Come on. You know who Falco is. The Rock Me, Amadeus guy. Der Kommissar.

Sigh. Never mind, I’m ancient. Let’s just talk about stuff.
