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!

BlizzCon is rapidly approaching and I’ve got a crazy long to-do list with all kinds of boxes to check off. I don’t think it’s quite as ambitious as Winston’s to-do list in Overwatch, however. Hey, at least I don’t need any peanut butter from the store though. Maybe. You know what, I should probably check the cupboards on that one. But first, why don’t we get some of your questions out of the way?

This Hallow’s End, a little skeleton with a can do attitude came to Icecrown Citadel and showed the Lich King that at least one spooky sort wasn’t down with his Hallow’s Ending ways.

This is the Queue. Let us discuss Blizzard and its games.

Okay. I know what you’re thinking. You’re staring at that header image and wondering how this came to be. And possibly why this came to be.

For the how, the answer is Rades and for the why… well, come on, do we really need a reason? But if you want to see the story behind the above Pepe, well, read on.

This one’s never going to be solved, because we know that Doomguards were created by the Titans to hunt down those that engaged in sacrificial magics, implying that there were Warlocks before the fall of Sargeras. We know that the most famous Warlocks, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, were Mages on Argus before Sargeras came and converted to Warlock magic as a result, and that the modern Warlock tradition derives from their teachings, so even former Orc Shamans who became Warlocks learned from Kil’jaeden’s teaching of Gul’dan and thus learned from a former Mage.

In the end, all we can do is go on with The Queue.

You know what I really don’t like? When a quest chain comes up with a bit of interesting something or other to watch, and instead of being allowed to watch it, you have to contend with angry mobs instead. Why are you putting in the neat cut scene hologram back and forth dialogue if I can’t actually read it or appreciate it, as I’m very much occupied in the task of not dying? It seems silly, yet I’ve seen it happen more than once. Let’s move on to your questions, shall we?

With the help of some friends, this week I finally got around to knocking out Throne of Thunder on Heroic and seeing the elusive Ra-den in his natural habitat. Well…okay, not his natural habitat, just the habitat he’s been stuck in since being imprisoned by the Thunder King however many thousands of years ago. So less “habitat,” more “really, really sad and depressing hamster cage,” or something along those lines. Regardless, it was a lot of fun and I saw a lot of things and took a lot of screenshots and have another chunk of material I’m currently digesting with my tinfoil hat on. Let’s get to your questions!

Unless it’s dinosaurs we’re talking about. Then I’m incredibly nostalgic. I love dinosaurs.

This is the Queue. Let us go forth and answer questions. Well, actually, just I’ll be doing that.

Is it Thursday again? Apparently it’s Thursday again, which means it’s my turn to write the Queue again. I really never could get the hang of Thursdays.

So let’s skip the Thursday confusion and go on to your questions, where we talk BlizzCon, Ahn’Qiraj, bodyguards (and my one true love, Vivianne), and more.
