Suggestion Box

by Gimmlette

Blizzard encourages their players to interact with the game and to make suggestions. Bugs, the things which are broken, are a separate category. Suggestions are just that. "Hey, I'd like to see..." In this column, we're going to post some of our ideas. Way back in Wrath of the Lich King, we came up with the idea for socks, which showed up this past year as a gift from Greatfather Winter. We can't claim credit for the socks, our idea was more of an item you would have tailors make, but we were really excited when socks showed up in the game.

Here is today's suggestion.

That's Krush, the boar outside The Butcher in the Highmaul Raid in Warlords of Draenor. Every time we head over to The Butcher, we make the observation that there is no bacon of quantity in this game. You can make Beer Basted Boar Ribs and three types of boars in the game drop ribs used for quests. There is the quest in Hellfire Peninsula, Hellboar, the Other White Meat, which gives you a stack of Hellboar Bacon, but, because it's a quest, it's not repeatable. We feel the lack of bacon in this game is an egregious oversight and needs to be rectified.

Look at the size of that boar. We could get, easily, enough meat off that guy to satisfy a raid group for at least 30 minutes. Come on Blizzard. We have eggs. Let's have bacon.

Out And About

By Gimmlette

I'm a screenshot junkie. I freely admit it. But this game provides all sorts of places and situations where a screenshot to preserve the moment is vitally necessary. The above is a case in point. This is on the elemental plateau in Draenor. That's a purple outlined fishing pole and there's a murloc. I won't tell you what happened when I clicked the pole. Suffice it to say it was quite amusing. I love to fish in game so they didn't need to entice me to try it. Is the murloc used for bait? You'll have to go find out.

Submissions for "Out And About" are welcome. They should be in .jpg format with name plates removed. You can write your own caption or I'll do it, but I'll need to know who and where and what's going on. Please include your toon name, guild and server if you're not in Spectacular Death. Send photos to floortanking@gmail.com.

And that's my bodyguard, Delvar Ironfist, alive. I hadn't killed him at this point. Poor Delvar. He's getting really good at floor tanking.
