The Queue

The Queue: Gold and Garrisons, Revamping Silithus, Useless First Aid?

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments and we may choose it for tomorrow’s edition!

For today’s Queue, I am entirely sourcing all of the questions from yesterday’s Queue. No Twitter, no emails, no nothing. Let’s see what happens. Oh, and that header image is from The Death and Return of Superman and it’s totally a Blizzard game. No, really, it is. And it was actually a pretty good game, too.


The Queue: Ravens and writing desks

Welcome to The Queue, the Q&A column for all things Blizzard related. If you have a question for the Queue, leave a comment and you may see it answered tomorrow!

Have I mentioned how much I like Khadgar’s writing setup? I mean it’s in the middle of a swampy mushroom and sentient-fungi-riddled nightmare, but the desk itself is awfully nice.


The Queue: Wait, we did what?

This week’s WoW leveling stream ended on a slightly perturbing note for me — I’d played through Stonetalon Mountains plenty of times on Horde characters, and always enjoyed the zone for its big climactic conclusion and subsequent bout of orc-tossing. But I’d never seen it on Alliance side. And Alliance side is awful. I felt horrible after finishing it, and what you didn’t hear on the stream was another full five minutes or so of exclamations about it. You can catch the leveling stream on Youtube now, if you’re interested. Anyway, on to your questions!


The Queue: Alpha Prime

I’m really sad that they killed Alpha Prime (Ralaar Fangfire) off in the Curse of the Worgen comic, because I think he’d make a great Alliance-centric end of tier raid boss. One of the things we got in original World of Warcraft that we haven’t seen as much in expansions was that the raids often had nothing at all to do with each other – each was a menace to Azeroth that needed to be stopped, but they weren’t necessarily related at all (although Molten Core did lead into Blackwing Lair).

So I’d love to see Alpha Prime come back and start up the Wolf Cult again. Maybe we could get playable Night Elf Worgen – that would be a pretty sweet customization option for worgen players. And with some worgen bosses, we could get cool new worgen forms, like enormous Epicyoninspired forms that ran around on all fours and crunched bones with one huge bite and an updated level 100+ Son of Arugal.

Okay, let’s look at some questions.


The Queue: Bonus objectives, Heroes of the Dorm, and the next WoW expansion

Usually, I try to write The Queue not too long before it’s meant to be published — that way, everyone’s questions have a reasonable chance of making it in if I’m able to answer it. However, today’s a busy day for me, so today’s edition of The Queue was written late afternoon on Sunday — which means I’m speaking to you from Sunday, referring to Monday as today despite it not being today for me at all. Time travel!

What this means, though, is most of today’s questions came from Twitter. If you asked a question in the comments yesterday, ask again today!
