The Queue: Don’t blink

Welcome back 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!

Sometimes I forget about the visual value of looking up every now and again. And sometimes I forget just how massive the Dark Portal really is in Outland — and that there’s a giant stone dragon head just kind of looming over the edge and keeping a baleful eye on every person that comes trotting through the thing. This is your reminder to turn your camera straight up every once in awhile, whether indoors or out, because sometimes what’s up there is really, really cool. Or creepy. Take your pick!


The Queue: The worst map ever

Either trolls are just really, really bad at cartography, or Lower Blackrock Spire is even more convoluted and confusing to run than you’d expect at first glance. But I do love the dungeon — there’s something about multi-level dungeons where you can stand up high and see mobs way down below that is visually appealing to me, and gives the place a sense of being way more massive than it really is.


The Queue: DK Blues

I don’t mean I’m sad, I literally mean the blue gear you get as a DK. It looks sweet, it’s pretty awesome stats (competitive with Outland gear) and I’ll likely keep it forever for the mogging. I like it.

So far the DK feels significantly weaker than the monk did, and that’s awesome. The monk dominated low level play. My brewmaster monk absolutely owned every pull. Now, on a level 60 blood DK, I have to actually work to stay alive and I don’t utterly destroy the DPS charts the way the monk did. I know monks aren’t super strong at max level, but up to 55, they’re crazy strong.

I’m happy again. This is me being happy. The death knight seems more fun to play.

Now for the Queue.


The Queue: Every so often I try and be fair to the Horde

Not often, mind you. I generally think that orcs, at best, make some truly awful decisions and trust absolutely the last people you should trust to lead them, and at worst they listen to Gul’dan. The first thing anyone should do upon encountering Gul’dan is to stab him in the stomach several hundred times. The fact that we let him go when we got into Tanaan, that was just… man. I’m positive I should have just started stabbing.

Oh, you’re trapped and they are using you to power the Dark Portal? Well, I can think of a very on point solution to that problem!

Anyway, it’s The Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard and its games.
