Merry Christmas, everyone. It's very quiet in the proverbial WoW Insider offices today. I'm the only soul around, and the only sound in the air is the clickety-clack of my keyboard. That may seem a little depressing, but it isn't -- everybody is off enjoying themselves and grabbing some much-deserved rest and relaxation. It's a good thing.
Today's edition of The Queue is a bit short due to the holiday, but I'm sure you'll all forgive me, right?
Resurect asked:
With the events of the dragon soul, its safe to say that lorewise caverns of time is just a lair of bronze dragons now ? This means we will never see another time traveling dungeon again ?
Also Nozdurmu will now just grow old to be a nice guy without the risk of go "infinite" crazy ?
When it comes to time travel, anything is possible. It's almost completely useless to guess and speculate as to what will happen when time travel is involved.
The Caverns of Time are probably not going away. The Bronze Dragonflight just oversaw and guarded it, but the timeways are still a thing that can be manipulated. When something goes awry in the time stream, it's going to be even more important that adventurers go and fix it, because the Bronze Dragons can't do it themselves.
If the Caverns of Time are still open, should Nozdormu want his power back, he can sneak into the timeways as a mortal and try to find a way to stop us from depowering the Aspects. He could manipulate an infinite number of events to change the path of time and cause himself to become Murozond again. Who knows? Time travel is really quite silly.
Velleekwitay asked:
Was there any other use for Deathwing's humanoid form, aside from artwork and getting punched in the face by Theldurin the Lost?
Nope. Machinimators will find a use for it until the end of time, but Blizzard itself never used it in any official capacity outside of being punched. It's unfortunate, because his character model was awesome. If I had to guess, I'd say Blizzard decided against using it because it humanizes him. Deathwing is not the cold, calculating manipulator that he used to be. He's an engine of destruction now and has no reason to use anything but his dragon form. He doesn't need to shrink down to human size to go indoors. He just breaks the building open as a dragon.
Mortenebra asked:
Okay, I've got a holiday-themed question: What's your favorite holiday treat?
These ridiculously easy rum balls that FoodWishes taught me how to make this year.

Heres a long shot question I hope gets answered:
Is it possible to buy an item with JP/VP and use that to transmogrify another one and then return the original for a refund of the points?
LynMars Dec 25th 2011 5:46PM
No; you must have the item in your inventory somewhere, whether that's bank, bags, or even void storage. Sell it, DE it, or send it to an alt, and you lose the transmog.

Did they ninja change the one daily quest from the ramkahen (sp?)? I did it today and got 6 pygmies with every swing. I don't mind it's now twice as fast, but it was fast/easy to begin with. Just wondering if anyone else knew. (I knew they increased the archaeology drop amounts but never saw mention in the notes.)

Thank Alex. I always enjoy when you answer a food related question. Since most folks that come on here play WoW AND have to eat, why not do a little blog post on Wowinsider about foodstuffs. I know theirs the craft one that Anne does but this could be maybe even a kind queue-like article. Anyway, thanks for the answer about the rum balls. May have to try that one of these days. They looked yummy.

Yes, totally agree with Tim. Would love to see the cooking articles regularly back on WoW Insider. Really miss those.

Question:
I am currently living overseas in a place with very poor internet. Because of that, I am unable to play WoW (or any online games) for the next 6 months. I was wondering if you had any suggestions to hold me over till I can play again? I have purchased some Warcraft books for my Kindle and played through the Warcraft 3 campaign but I was hoping there was another game similar to WoW but one that didn't require internet to play.

Q4TQ
Has Blizzard ever said why Resilience is not a secondary stat? I might help for people who get PvP pieces to use in PvE content to buff their iLvl and it would help reduce the barrier of entry for people that want to transition from PvE to PvP.

That rum ball recipe looks delicious. I now have someone else to follow on my RSS feed. Thanks, Alex!
