The Queue

Guys, Legion is out.

Why are you even reading this? Why am I writing it? What’s wrong with all of us?

If you’re still here instead of playing Legion, well, this is the Queue. Let’s get this done quick so I can get back to playing.

Combining the Jewel of Hellfire with the Whole-Body Shrinka’ makes for some interesting, if incredibly uncomfortable looking results.

I imagine the podlings of Draenor would really enjoy Azeroth. I mean, it doesn’t exactly suffer from a lack of plant life, and since none of Azeroth’s ancients or saplings are trying to consume each other, they wouldn’t really have much in the way of competition.

So I recently leveled my 10th level 100 thanks to invasions (five Warriors – Human, Worgen, two Draenei and a Night Elf plus two Demon Hunters, a Hunter, a Shaman and a Paladin) and when I got the most recent Warrior to Stormwind I found myself constructing a story for her in my head. She’s a Night Elf, a traditionalist who thinks a man’s place is sleeping in a barrow den somewhere talking to trees. She absolutely thinks she should be running the whole war against the Legion and she’s not very deferential to her people’s ‘leaders’ at all.

So during the scene in the throne room she was pretty much all you know, Jaina’s got a lot of good arguments. If Jaina starts her own faction, I think she’d be down for a gig as Jaina’s new Night Elf bodyguard.

Yeah, it didn’t work out great for the last one, but that sort of proves her point.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat.

Today we have our sights on just one thing: a mega Queue. So in today’s Queue, Mitch and I answer seven questions, including Jay’s regular Two Bosses Enter submission and a segue into Hamilton. (If you follow me on Twitter, you know just how dangerous the latter can be.)

So let’s get to it, shall we? Today’s going to be so mega.

So, I knew the whole Invasions as leveling tool experience had been radically improved by a recent hotfix — I’d leveled two characters in their 90’s with it, including my long abandoned Paladin. But upon getting him to 100 I decided to see how useful it was for a low level toon, my level 23 Warrior. So, this Monday, I took her to the Westfall one since she could get to it pretty easily.

Long story short, she’s now level 64. And I didn’t log on every two hours to hit all the Invasions, nor did I log out at an inn to reset a zone to stage 1 (although I was advised to do so on Twitter and I find that fascinating). This is just from hitting as many invasions as I could reasonably reach, with a last minute assist from my wife on her Sandstone Drake to get to some of the elites in Azshara. That one popped me up six levels by itself.

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

The Whole-Body Shrinka’ is probably one of my favorite toys in the game, mostly because it forces you to look at the world from an entirely different perspective. Shrinking yourself in tall grass is the best…but staring up at the boots of your comrades and hoping they don’t step on you comes a close second.
