The Queue: Gross
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.
Everybody stole my schtick over the weekend, so I'm skipping straight to the questions today.
Jeff asked:
I think we should have a Queue or WRUP in which all the writers say which animal they best feel represents them. Obviously Fox would be a fox. So writers, food for thought :p
Is there a lamprey pet?
Jeff ... again:
Am I losing my mind or did they change how rest works in Booty Bay? Didn't it used to grant you rest while anywhere in the bay, before you got to the tunnel? Curious.
I vaguely remember a time where that tunnel counted as an inn, but if that were ever true, it was upwards of four or five years ago, maybe even back in vanilla. It's been a very long time and it was obviously a bug.
@natekreps asked:
has Blizzard indicated they will release new content patches more consistently in Mists? ie, avoid the 9-12 mo gap at the end?
I can't recall Blizzard giving any indication like that for Mists of Pandaria. However, they did say they were going to try avoiding that in every previous expansion and didn't pull it off, so I wouldn't expect them to be able to do it now even if they said so.
@wowadventuresof asked:
can you duel and do battle grounds on a pve realm as I love to do them but I have friends who only pve
Yes, absolutely! You can still duel, queue for Battlegrounds and Arenas, and participate in zones like Wintergrasp and Tol Barad. The only thing you can't do is attack just anybody out in the world.
Matthew2 asked:
The Pet Journal must be bugged. My live toon has heaps of pets, but on beta only 10. any one else having this issues?
Beta is beta. Many people are missing the vast majority of their pets in beta. It will certainly be fixed by launch.
