WoW Insider has the latest on the Mists of Pandaria!

The Queue: The deadliest 'do

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.

@slowpoker asked:

Some beta bugs are kind of funny, like the current flying when you're not in flight form bug. What's your fave beta bug ever?

Hey, you work for us! I can't answer your questions, that's cheating! ... eh, whatever.

My favorite beta bug is from the Wrath of the Lich King beta. The little stairs directly in front of the barbershop in Dalaran weren't solid. Any players trying to get into the barbershop to try out the new hairstyles would fall through the floor down through all of Dalaran, get dropped out of the bottom and fall to their death thousands of feet below the city.

Remember, the barbershop was a brand new feature in Wrath. Everybody wanted to check out the new hairstyles. The pile of bones was absolutely massive. Have you ever seen that old picture of a guy standing on a mountain of buffalo skulls? It was kind of like that.

superleadplexi asked:

There a list on the guild armory pages that shows the Top Weekly Contributors, according to points accumulated. Do we know exactly what contributes to these points? I'm guessing it's more complex than who's online the most.

It's everything that contributes to your guild XP, or if you're level-capped, things that would contribute to your guild XP. Dungeons, quests, that sort of thing.

HemttTanker asked:

Are they still planning to only give quest rewards for your specific class/spec, or has that idea been scrapped?

Yep, that's still in. Every quest that gives an item will give you an item associated with your class. No more hovering your mouse over a bunch of sweet new blue item options only to discover you can't equip any of it.

Maxine asked:

Non-Combat pets in MoP: I'm 129/150 towards Littlest Pet Shop. With MoP's account-wide pets, what will happen to this achievement? Will I need to finish it before 5.0 in order to get my Celestial dragon?

As of the current beta build, those achievements are nowhere to be found in the beta. That doesn't mean that the associated pets won't return in some other way, but if you think the achievement is within reach in the next few months, I'd push for it if I were you.

@alvraen asked:

If you can have a person voice a NPC, who would the NPC be and who would voice it?

Frankly, despite her being the voice of Jaina Proudmoore, World of Warcraft doesn't have nearly enough Laura Bailey. Laura is a fantastic voice actor, but so far Jaina hasn't shown off her range at all. Those of you who have tried out The Old Republic may also know her as Kira Carsen -- a much better example of Laura's range. She also does an absolutely wonderful job as one of the voice options for Saints Row: The Third's protagonist. I'd love to have her doing an upbeat character with attitude in WoW vs. Jaina's ... whatever she is. Maybe after Theramore gets blown up, we'll see more energy coming off of Ms. Proudmoore.

If you want me to pick someone who isn't in World of Warcraft at all, I want Katee Sackhoff doing an Alliance warrior character. She's done some great voice work since Battlestar Galactica.
