The Queue: We're having an adventure

We seem to be rather light on questions lately. That's no surprise, given where we stand now: days away from BlizzCon and not much further from the official release of Warlords of Draenor. In a lot of ways, we've exhausted what there is to be said until those events hit us square in the face. Admittedly, I am not too upset about this fact -- because today's Queue is being written from a hotel room in Barstow, California. The town is a madhouse and the wifi is terrible. Please bear with me; we're in the middle of adventure.
@OriginalMrGoat asked:
Any bets as to what fills the Blizcon void?
I think Blizzard has another new game to announce. Something on the scale of Hearthstone -- a smaller title, but still clearly a Blizzard title. I feel that's the way Blizzard will be moving in the future. Frequent small releases and only rarely new installments of titles the scale of StarCraft or Diablo.
ScottLeyes asked:
Anyone else having issues with assets not loading in game when teleporting/logging in/phasing to a new instance?
This has been happening to me since 6.0. I figured it would pass, but it seems pretty consistent. I'll log in, my toon will be invisible for a few seconds, then I hit my mount button, she disappears again for a few more seconds, reappearing with a mount. I can still move, just not see her.
Could this be a glitch related to CASC?
I don't know if it has anything to do with CASC or not, unfortunately. I can say you're not alone in this, however. I was experiencing that exact thing and wondering if it was just my nowhere-near-top-of-the-line PC struggling with patch 6.0, but it was actually running quite smoothly otherwise. Models and doodads such as resource nodes took an eternity to appear while I could do everything else with no lag or stuttering at all. Very strange.
I'm not a technical enough mind to speculate in a meaningful way.
RufusHonkerIV asked:
Leftover Timeless armor - sell or keep? I've got two bags full on my bank alt. I don't see a reason to keep (Draenor should give better stuff for future alts). I was also thinking if I should vendor it I should convert it into armor first (on toons I can) - the tokens get 5g apiece but the armor they convert into is more like 22g. Thoughts?
As was recommended in the comments yesterday, it might be a good idea to save a set of each if you have a bank alt with space to spare. You never know when you'll level a new alt. Given you can nearly hit level 90 through Jade Forest alone these days, having those items around to use will be a big help stepping into Warlords of Draenor content with that character. If you don't have a bank alt? I say just turn it all into armor and vendor it. Keeping it around isn't necessary, just helpful.
