Update: Blizzard has officially announced that BlizzCon 2020 is canceled, though we may see a virtual event of some kind early next year.

As World of Warcraft's patch 8.3 drags on, it may be time to finish up collecting all those mounts you're missing.

Now that summer vacation has started in earnest, I am no longer tethered to time or space. I am infinite, I stretch against the yawning chasm of space itself, I contain multitudes — and every one of those multitudes needs coffee.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we supply the answers, just as soon as this cuppa kicks in.

One thing that's going to happen in Shadowlands is, we'll eventually shelve our Hearts of Azeroth and no longer have access to them or to the Azerite Traits that depends on them to work.

The greatest power in Dungeons and Dragons -- in most tabletop roleplaying games -- is the dice.

Once again Arthas didn’t drop his mount. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve stood there at the base of his giant overcompensating throne waiting for him to finish monologing so I could beat him up. It’s an old joke by now, but are we 100% sure that the mount is really called Invincible? Maybe it’s just been Invisible this whole time, and that’s why I haven’t found it! I guess there’s always next time.

While I wait for Tirion to break out of his ice cube I have enough time for — The Queue.

Barbarian.

I made an incoherent Murloc noise when I read the folks at Wowhead had found a global string that would mean we could choose a separate transmog option for each shoulder when Shadowlands goes live.

I think in the end, N’Zoth really just wants a hug. Why else would it keep pulling you in with its shadow tentacles? It wants a hug and then it’s upset when we reply with violence. It’s a sad story.
