It’s Monday, what a concept! Also apparently this was Easter weekend? Who knew! I’m as confused as the rest of the Queue writers about what days even mean anymore. At least I have the Shadowlands alpha to keep me company. With its adorable Owl Butlers and randomly dying while running past waterfalls, what more could a person need?

Still, I can’t spend all my time in Alpha, so they say, sometimes I have to answer questions about Alpha too! So I take you now to — The Queue.

Shadowlands is making a lot of players very happy by returning several spells to their favorites class(es), in what's being referred to as "the unpruning." For the most part, the list of returning abilities seems to be a runaway success.

Ahh, a Mage.

We're all handling this global pandemic as best we can.

Let's just admit it.

The Shadowlands alpha is up and running, and so you're about to see a limited group of people gain access to World of Warcraft's next expansion.

Ashes of Outland, the latest expansion for Hearthstone, saw some nerfs to its brand-new Demon Hunter class on day two.

Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas did an interview with Sloot wherein he talked a lot about Shadowlands (check out the  liveblog from Wowhead if you'd rather read than watch), including the intricacies of loot drops.

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m definitely writing this on Thursday night and not very early Friday morning. Nope. I am a responsible writer who’s on top of things.

So uhh… let’s Queue.

This week, Matthew Rossi and Joe Perez explore the newly announced class changes in the upcoming Shadowlands alpha, the Fragments of the Dark Nexus event on the Heroes of the Storm PTR, and the Ashes of Outland expansion in Hearthstone.
