The Queue: G-Men

I don't think I need to say anything other than the fact that it was a really good game. Sorry, Brady.

"I did the Love is in the Air bosses this morning - and the necks that dropped were not upgraded. Is this intentional, or a bug?"
This is intentional. Remember, the Cataclysm expansion released at the beginning of December, with Love is in the Air launching with an updated form in February 2011. At the time, these ilevel 346 necks were a huge boon to players who were still slogging through Cataclysm heroics at the opening of the expansion, some of the hardest casual content Blizzard has ever released.
Not only are these necks already updated versions of Love is in the Air items from the past, but the new justice point neck rewards are so far-and-away better than the Crown Chemical necks that you would be foolish to not just run some dungeons for the 1,250 justice points for something much better.
@mbhahn asked on Twitter:
@WoWInsider I am suffering from Event overload are you? Too many scheduled at once
No, you are not the only one suffering from event overload. The problem is that one of the lengthiest, collectiest, exploriest holidays (The Lunar Festival) happens around the same time as one of the most daily-intensive holidays (Love is in the Air), which makes for a weird world to live in. Not only are we decorated for two holidays at the same time, but there are not two large quest hubs in each capital city that send you all over the world for different reasons. Am I doing Coins of Ancestry or Love Tokens? Which have I started on yet? Do I have the bracelets I need? ... but isn't there an elder over in this zone. Not to mention all of the inventory space these holidays are taking up.
These two holidays are also so dense that for fairness and game play reasons, just to name a few, the holidays each last longer than most, with Lunar Festival clocking in at three weeks and Love is in the Air at two. So for one week out of the year, two of the biggest holidays in World of Warcraft intersect. It's just how the calendar is set up.
Vilhelm asked:
Any word yet on if the Darkmoon artifact quest items are working properly this month? I'm afraid to even try them, since last month you got locked out of the fix if you had attempted to use the broken ones.
This week, I completed all of my artifact quests, and I have done them all in the past as well. It looks like the issue was fixed, as I was experiencing it last time. Yay for bug fixes! As was stated in the comments, your progress for achievements and such may have been reverted, but it's not a huge deal for these quests especially.
Everyone who watched football asked:
Seriously, wasn't that a great game?
I think the real moment of the night that told you everything you needed to know was when Al Michaels said, "Let's just have these two teams play from now on."

Q4tQ: Are there any addons available that will track who won what in Raid Finder rolls? Having to scroll through all the chat spam is annoying.
aidyTM Feb 6th 2012 11:14AM
You can turn off the chat spam without addons. I forget where it is but there is a check box that shows/hides loot roll details, and leaves you with just who won what and what they rolled.
PyroFlyX Feb 6th 2012 11:15AM
You can turn off the detailed loot roll descriptions in the interface.
Matt Feb 6th 2012 11:17AM
I had the same complaint a while ago and searched around until I found RollMonitor on Curse. It is perfect. Displays a frame for each item showing N ,G, D, or P while the roll is occurring, then displays the rolls and the winner when the roll is finished. It also includes a Minimap icon that you can hover over to display all the loot that has been rolled on since you last wiped the addon data (works a lot like Recount or Skada... you can wipe it manually, automatically upon entrance to an instance, or have it ask you).

There was an addon spotlight back in december talking about GreedBeacon and Teksloot.

My only gripe with greedBeacon was that it was interfering with prat : /
jwilson61904 Feb 6th 2012 11:22AM
Try the addon greed beacon. It only lists the winner in chat with a link that you can click to open a window with the role summary for that item. It was covered in one of the addon spotlights recently.
lifebinder Feb 6th 2012 11:21AM
I highly recommend XLoot. Alone, it just replaces your loot frames. However, there are several addon modules available for it that change the loot roll frames, replace loot master frames, and even monitor looting history for the whole party.
Butts Feb 6th 2012 11:23AM
The addon is GreedBeacon, and I love it.

If you're lazy/forgetful (like me) and don't want to turn off detailed loot info for 5-mans, there's an addon called SummarizedLFRRolls that turns off detailed loot info in LFR and then turns it back on when you exit.
Nathanyel Feb 6th 2012 11:42AM
GreedBeacon and teksLoot are indeed the best roll-related addons ever :)
Hugo C Feb 6th 2012 12:21PM
I can't live without LootRolls anymore. I strongly recomend it.

GreedBeacon + TeksLoot. You don't need anything else.
ParagusofEonar Feb 6th 2012 6:41PM
HeadCount (on curse) is also very good for this.
Nilocor Feb 6th 2012 11:07AM
As a Patriots fan, that game hurt to watch... I'm just trying to stay away from it today. :(
eel5pe Feb 6th 2012 11:52AM
Not a Pats fan, but watching Wes Welker's post-game conference was super-painful. It's nice to see athletes really give a crap about the game and not try to deflect responsibility towards others.
Nilocor Feb 6th 2012 10:56PM
I love Welker lol. He probably should have had that catch, but we'll have next year to try it all again, and i think we'll be even better.
Jack Mynock Feb 7th 2012 12:16AM
Welker probably should have had the catch, but then Brady probably should have thrown it better too.
Eldoron Feb 6th 2012 11:13AM
Attention, Axl Pose is 50 y.o. today (pun intended)

Does the daily WoW recap with blue posts and such not happen when blizzard is silent for a day? i've noticed a few times where it hasn't been posted and (as a late night gamer) i really miss it.
its a good way to catch up with WoW all over the web, not just blue posts. It would be understandable if a writer/editor was sick or if there wasn't much news, but its a lot nicer than having to scroll all over.
Bapo Feb 6th 2012 11:33AM
It isn't posted on the weekends at all (unless something major were to happen I assume), and over the holiday break, nothing was going on at all on the blue end of things.
