The Queue: Storms in Stormwind

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!

With a name like Stormwind, you’d think it rained in the city fairly often. But when I saw it actually raining in the city on the Legion alpha the other night, I was struck by the curious feeling that I had never actually seen this before — not without a rain stone at the very least. I don’t know if this was expanded weather effects, or that I just managed to finally be in the right place at the right time. Still, it was really nice to see, and I’m kind of hoping this might be a hint that we’ll see storms in Stormwind with a little more regularity. Let’s face it — it’s super weird to ride in from super-rainy Elwynn to blue sunny skies the second you cross the city border.


The Queue: Shine your shoes

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!

I’m pretty sure it’s not really what I’d call a major spoiler to point out that everyone’s favorite shoe-shining gnome, Sheddle Glossgleam, hasn’t gone anywhere in Legion. He’s in Dalaran over at the Threads of Fate, same as always, and if you take a seat he’ll shine your shoes until they sparkle. The random NPCs were one of my favorite parts about the city, so I’m happy to see that at least some of them are still around. Jones the cat is still MIA, but who knows, maybe he’ll come back too. I sort of hope we’ll also see some new iteration of the Higher Learning achievement while we’re at it. Speaking of learning, let’s get to your questions, shall we?
