The Queue

It’s the Queue, where we talk about Blizzard games. You ask questions, a rotating panel of Blizzard Watch staffers (including me) answer them. Sometimes I might be writing this while listening to my old Prong albums. Can you guess what song? I bet you can.

Yeah, I know the Rossi’s Renegades thing isn’t going to actually stick. Let me have just one day, okay?

This weekend was quite short on questions — at least, questions I could answer without traveling forward in time to play Legion and then travel back to tell you about it. Don’t be shy! If you have questions, please ask them!

Look, I generally think I have a pretty good handle on Warcraft lore. But I don’t think I know who these two angry dudes are on WoW‘s map pane. One of them is sort of Illidan-y satyr-ish, the other is wielding lightning in a very Thor-in-a-wizard-robe kind of way.  I’m assuming they’re constellations of some sort, given the stars haphazardly placed on both of them, but they don’t look Titan or Sargeras enough to really fit either one. One of these days I’m going to have to find a definitive answer for that one. Until then, I’ll settle for answering the questions you guys have thrown my way.

Today is my birthday, Aimee, and I don’t want any questions from you. I just want you to hand over every single last thing on that cart — except for the gingerbread man, you can keep that until sometime December-ish. Also I want you to direct me to whoever has the good coffee out here. And while I’m waiting, I’ll answer some Queue questions, because why not?

If it’s wrong to stick a wolf head on your head, I don’t want to be right. Blame Darkwolf from Fire and Ice, I guess.

Anyway, it’s the Queue. We answer your Blizzard questions. Let us do this thing together.

I finally managed to get the Talon Queen title, and on my flight back to my garrison I flew over an area in Talador that threw a ghostly effect on my character. I don’t think I’ve ever taken that particular flight path before, because the suddenly ghostly raven isn’t something I ever recall seeing before. However, I kind of want one as an actual mount now. The level of detail on that model is way more apparent with a transparency applied. I don’t think it’ll ever happen, but it made for a pretty screenshot anyway. On to the questions!

It’s 4 am my time as I write this, I’m insanely tired.

Do you have a question for The Queue? The comments await you with a slavering maw. Like a puppy!

You know, I like the revamps they did to the Eastern and Western Plaguelands in Cataclysm, but sometimes I find myself missing the old quests. It’s not that they were objectively better or worse, it’s mostly that they encapsulated the horrors of the Third War so perfectly. Obviously we’ve moved on from the Third War by now, but in vanilla, it was neat (and incredibly creepy at times) to have that snapshot of just what the Third War did to Lordaeron and the people that lived there. Yes, the Forsaken were a major part of that, but I liked seeing the stories of the regular people who lived and died there, too.
