The Queue: Heroic as heck

I'm ready for heroics. Are you?
Astalnar asked:
Is there any chance worgen will get a unique DPS form (wolf instead of cat), same way as trolls got bat instead of bird?
Worgen already have a unique model for cat form, the same way trolls do. Worgen also got a unique flight form. If you're asking if Blizzard is going to scrap the unique cat form model they already gave worgen in favor of something else, the answer is assuredly no.
enache_andrey asked:
Any signs of the new Lich King (Bolvar Fordragon) in Cataclysm?
None yet.
John asked:
I have been disenchanting green random drops and quest rewards that are not upgrades or that are replaced. Lots of essences. Very very little dust. Also, more dust from weapons/shields/trinkets than from armor, which is backwards from the typical DE results for original/BC/LK items. Is this expected?
Right now it looks like dusts and essences have switched places in terms of rarity, though since we haven't had comment from Blizzard, we can't be sure that it's intended yet.
Neuropox asked:
Any way I can get my bank alt that nifty top hat that you get in the worgen starting quests? I know that one is BoP but is there another somewhere my main can farm up for my lowly bank alt NAZDAQ?
There is a tailoring recipe called High Society Top Hat that produces an item identical to Lord Walden's Top Hat.
Velleekwitay asked:
Why does Greymane hang out in Stormwind while the rest of the worgen reside on the other side of the world in Darnassus?
If you're in Darnassus, so is Greymane. If you're in Stormwind, he's there too. The entry into Darnassus for worgen indicates that Greymane is going to Stormwind to ask King Wrynn for help, which he provides -- if you bring a Horde character through Silverpine, you'll see that the 7th Legion is there fighting for Gilneas. The 7th Legion is the absolute best army that the Alliance has to offer, so their presence there says something.
Cudds asked:
Can you tell me how to pronounce Vash'jir? I usually say, "VASH-gir, VASH-jeer, VAG-i-sil... You know, the underwater one."
Pretend you raided Serpentshrine Cavern, killed Lady Vashj and looted her ear. In your bag you find a Vashj'ir.
Alternatively, it rhymes with "I think the best character on DS9 was Doctor Bashir."

As weird as cows walking on two feet and turning into bears/cats/owls/trees??
It's the World of Warcraft.. Get over worgen-cat form already.. I'm sick of hearing about it.

Agreed. Taurens (who would appear to be herbivores, being bovine) turning into carnivorous bears/cats/birds of prey/etc is quite a bit stranger than a "wolf" - already a carnivore - turning into other varieties of carnivores. Also, most people just tend to complain about the wolf-to-cat change, but not the wolf-to-bear change or the wolf-to-sea lion change. None of them makes sense on ANYONE. Why? Because ordinarily beings of any kind can't just transform into other totally different beings, but this is a fantasy world where fantastic things happen. And sure, there are rules, which is why you can turn into a cat but not a turtle, but they're not your real-world rules. All druids turn from one species to another completely different species every time they shift forms, I don't see why Worgens are so different.

Y'know, the original Minotaur of myth was a bloodthirsty carnivore who ate a bunch of sacrificial humans every year...
Saeadame Dec 11th 2010 4:07PM
@Evil, despite Taurens possibly being based on minotaurs in design, their "personality" has always struck me as more traditionally "cow". They're fairly passive, just eating their grass (no, not some weird metaphor that says Taurens smoke weed), pooping their poop and whatever, but if you get them riled up (eg, at Rodeos) they can do a lot of damage.

One of the first (vanilla) Tauren quests was to go hunt for some meat to feed the tribe. So no, they're not herbivores.

WOOT JULIAN ROCKS! :)
ColbyWolf Dec 11th 2010 3:09PM
Definetly my favorite character :D

CallMeIrd Dec 11th 2010 10:25PM
PFFFT everyone knows Jadzia Dax was the best one. Why'd you have to die, Jadzia? WRYYYYY
Reis Dec 11th 2010 2:21PM
Serious question now....what is up with the Alchemy transmutation cooldowns? First they were changed to match daily quest reset, then they were just every 12 hours. Now, today, it's 24 hours again. Is one of these a bug? If so, which one?
Jeff (Not that one ^ ) Dec 11th 2010 2:35PM
I did my transmute today because I needed 1 point. It had a 12 hour cooldown. This was around Noon local.
Reis Dec 11th 2010 2:45PM
Hrm, I don't remember doing one today, but maybe....so it's just every 12 hours and not with the daily reset then?
Basoiche Dec 11th 2010 3:29PM
Transmute CD's were changed to reset at midnight every night. This was to prevent the issues where they were exactly 20 hours, and you used yours at 9 pm, then got back on when you could the next day at 1pm but had to go deal with Real Life at 3 pm and never got back on, thereby wasting a CD. Now it's once a day, every day. Use it whenever, not having to plan your schedule around your CD's

"I think the best character on DS9 was Doctor Bashir."
Bashir makes me think wrong thoughts that are so very very right.
Vladeon Dec 11th 2010 2:40PM
"Commander Dax (both of them) makes me think wrong thoughts that are so very very right."
Fixed it for you.
MikeLive Dec 11th 2010 2:40PM
Ezri does it too, I won't lie.
Prelimar Dec 11th 2010 2:48PM
no, it was right the first time. Bashir, Bashir, Bashir.
Drakkenfyre Dec 11th 2010 2:54PM
You ever see the Mirror Universe episode where Sisko was kidnapped, and had to impersonate his Mirror Universe counterpart who had been killed? His lover was Jadzia. The first thing she did was slap him for making her think he was dead, second thing was drag him off to have sex with him.
That's got to be a confusing feeling for Sisko. "Hey, I get to sleep with Dax", but "Hey, I'm sleeping with Dax."
Terry Farrell (Jadzia) did nude pics for a magazine before she was on DS9, BTW.
ColbyWolf Dec 11th 2010 3:10PM
Bashir and Ezri do the same for me too XD
Brakelbee Dec 11th 2010 6:46PM
Quark, you naughty Ferengi. Come give me some Oomox.
Revynn Dec 11th 2010 2:30PM
Given the flavor text on the BoA version of Zin'rokh, the quests in the new ZG involving trolls trying to bring back Hakkar again and the fact that Blizzard "found a place" for the Razzashi Hatchling pet . . . is it possible that we'll see a return of Hakkar in Cataclysm? Perhaps a ZG themed 5-man or side raid?
