What do you think about the story coming in patch 8.2?
Even if you're avoiding spoilers, you still probably know the basic outlines of what's coming in patch 8.2 -- Queen Azshara's Naga are attacking the world and we're going to Nazjatar, there's a new kingdom of steampunk Gnomes called Mechagon and we're going there too, and, oh yeah, all that stuff that happened in 8.1.5 has repercussions in the War Campaign.

The Queue: Paradise lost
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!
Between Kul Tiras, Zandalar, and now Nazjatar and the sunken ruins of Zin-Azshari, this expansion feels like a love letter to the part of my brain that kept persistently asking “But what happened to x, where is it?” for all those years. I’m probably doing the PTR wrong though, because my first reaction upon arriving wasn’t “Oh look, quests!” so much as “What is that thing on the horizon” and an immediate trip to wherever that thing was, regardless of whatever happened to be in the way.
It’s okay, I’m a Rogue, I can stealth.

What is Wrathion’s agenda and what is he planning in patch 8.2?
It's no secret that several folks around here at Blizzard Watch are really curious what's up with Wrathion -- the last time we saw him in person was during the Deaths of Chromie scenario back in Legion, and before that he made an appearance on the Alpha for that expansion before being replaced with Ebyssian.
