Pet-battles

I've said before that I think pet battles are the purest and best kind of mini-game content in World of Warcraft, and I have a variety of reasons for that belief.

Pet battling in the newly revamped Vale of Eternal Blossoms after patch 8.3 can be an easy way to gain yourself some rep and cool stuff depending on the daily as long as you know how to defeat your opponents.

Update: Today -- December 5th -- is another Super Squirt Day for North America realms, so get out there and get that Safari Hat on!

The fight to save Azeroth from N'zoth is going to take everyone working together -- even our smallest companions.

Welcome to The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions on a varied array of topics, we give you answers, and then the comments devolve into zany shenanigans. Today we have a ton of pet battling questions, some lore stuff, and a side of esports. If there’s one word you can use to describe the Queue, “varied” is definitely a good one. I’m lying low after this one, though.

Welcome to The Queue, our daily question and answer article, where you ask the questions and we pretend like we know the answer, occasionally consulting Google as though its arcane tarot will help, when all is screaming from both the heights of heaven and the depths of hell.

Huh, it looks like I got some of Mitch’s questions mixed in here again. Let’s A some Qs!

I like building rep with all you Queuevians, but your mount drop rate stinks. I’m not even sure I’m going to get a toy or tabard or whatever out of all these answered questions. Well, another week, let’s try our luck.

It's been a while since we've discussed all the ways you change your World of Warcraft experience to make it more user friendly, more informational, or just more gosh dang pretty.

When Adam asked me to cover The Queue for this morning, even though I stream pretty late in the night for the site on Wednesday, and even though my toddler and I are both sick, and even though my daughter has short school days this week, I said I would. It’s usually not too tough to pull questions, even with the heated discussions going around lately — worst case, I’ll just pull stuff off our Discord or Twitter. I didn’t realize that literally as I was streaming, he would drop the post about the five year plan for the site the staff first started discussing internally 3 weeks ago.

Adam, please.

So! While I’ll definitely direct y’all’s attention over to that post, because it’s important to the site and we want to hear your thoughts and concerns, I’m definitely just… not looking at the explosion this morning. Nope. I have some herbal tea with honey, and I’m just gonna… do the thing. Please, for poor little Rossi’s sake, put some questions in a place where he can find them easily. Whew.

I'm a bit behind in my battle pet taming.
