The Queue: Earthinating the peasants

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW.com's daily Q&A column in which the WoW.com team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Mike Sacco will be your host today.
We've reached critical pop culture reference mass here, folks. We're going to run out of pop culture to reference in quests and NPCs. It's only a matter of time now. Soon NPCs will have to reference internet memes that don't exist yet.
McDreamy asked:
My question may not be answerable since the level cap is still 83: any idea where the badge vendors are going to be? Are they going to be in every capital city, or just the lead one (Org for Horde, Stormwind? for alliance)? Or are they going to be at the raid entrance like ToC?
They'll be in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. They currently exist in the beta but can't be interacted with.

Teron asked:
I know there are cat and bear forms for worgen and trolls, but are there different flight forms?
If there are, we haven't seen them yet.
Freyal asked:
Any chance that in a future patch the developers might "Cata-ize" outland and to a lesser extent Northend?
From all the glorious things I've heard about leveling 1-60 now in Cataclysm, I imagine that outlands will suffer the death knight effect all over again. Ie: a bit of a let down to go from cool questing back to boring old fashioned questing...
Devs have commented that they'd like to give Outland and Northrend the Cataclysm treatment, but that if they do, it won't happen for a while.
Klausse asked:
Has fishing been made 'easier' and 'more fun' in the 'Clysm beta, or should we chalk it up as being this expansion's Dance Studio (i.e., not implemented at all)?
We get asked this question at least three times every day, and I'm finally going to give the incredibly boring answer: nothing has happened to fishing yet.
DIngo asked:
A question for The Queue: I used to like fish. After years of eating it I detest the things. I shudder on raid nights knowing ill have to down a half dozen week old rancid fish feasts. Has there been any indication of diversity in raid wide food buffs in Cataclysm? Maybe a nice pancake feast, or chicken fettuccine. A little carbo-loading to keep my feet moving out of the fire.
Hope you like eating dragons, then. Well, broiled dragons, anyway.

Ugh, the new raid food is made from people? Uhm... gross. I don't even eat murlocs stuff in game so eating dragons seems pretty vile to me. But I'm nutty that way. XD

give us some soylent green
Ves Aug 28th 2010 4:26PM
He forgot to mention the bit where nobody will eat Dragon because eating Fish gives 50% more stats.

I want to see what would happen if I went to the top of Wyrmrest, set a Dragon Feast at the feet of Alexstraza, and started munching.
I know it's highly unlikely that anything would happen, but it would be awesome if it did. Dropping from Exalted to Hated in 3 seconds would be something to see.
Especially if you could buy several Red Dragon mounts before you do so, and then yell "Thanks for the groceries!" while making your escape.
Dreyja Aug 28th 2010 5:31PM
LOL, I thought of the soylent green thing after I pressed the add comment button.
Oni - Can you imagine! It'd be kind of epic if you went to hated and Alex transformed and munched you back. XD
I'm glad to hear that the fish will have better stats. I've always enjoyed fishing and providing raid food for the guildies.
I forgot to mention that the TROGDOR reference is so full of win I can hardly stand it. I love those nuts that come up with this stuff @ Blizz.

Oni Stardust: Remember that the red dragonflight is currently the only dragonflight that sells their own kind as flying mounts! Thus, I'm not sure they'd even care all that much when you start munching on dragons... as long as it wasn't a red dragon. I'm sure their self-preservation instincts are still intact. =P

Eating a dragon should agro every dragons
Sinfulle Aug 28th 2010 5:51PM
Perhaps dragon flanks are naturally flavored according to what color dragon they came from.
- Black dragon - Wicked flame seared pepper steak.
- Red dragon - You'll quickly warm up to this meal, better have a mage available to summon water. Lots of water.
- Bronze dragon - nom nom nom, tastes like chicken
- Green dragon - Sunshine daisy, butter mellow......you sure this is alright to eat?
- Blue dragon - they're magically delicious
and for dessert, chocolate truffles.......hmm, tastes like twigs & berries........wait a minute, that's not a chocolate truffle.............
Rando Aug 28th 2010 6:12PM
When you battle deathwing in cataclysm the tanks shall aggro him by eating dragons.
Oni Stardust Aug 28th 2010 9:02PM
I just had an idea, they should go back and make it so any killable dragon can drop dragon flanks.
I wanna om nom nom on Onyxia.

I've played trolls and undead since vanilla. I have no problem with eating people in this game.

The flight form for worgens is a troll, and the flight form for trolls is *two trolls*.
You heard it here first.
jishdefish Aug 28th 2010 6:25PM
On a more serious note, I bet both are getting a different color of bat for their flight form.
Some races of Trolls ride bats, so that makes some sense.
As for Worgen, well... they just get the recycled flight form Trolls will get in a different color, same as how Tauren and Nelfs share a form with a different skin.
woshiernog Aug 30th 2010 2:04PM
The flight for for goblins will be a catapult.
You heard it here first.
Oh wait..
Idaelus Aug 28th 2010 4:18PM
Toggzor the Earthinator and Trogdor the BURNiN4TOR get in a fight. Who wins?
I'm scared....
Jehosaphat Aug 28th 2010 4:24PM
Whoever wins...we lose.
