    You cannot integrate Hiveminded planets as they are auto-aggro to anyone who is not a Hivemind. Same if you are playing a Hivemind, you kill any non-Hiveminded individuals on your planet - There is a tech late in gene-mapping that lets you turn normal populations into Hiveminded, but it is...

    Various forums are real salty with the RNG-pack distribution and cost of this expansion/three expansions a year. Wonder if Blizzard will respond with anything (they already said the RNG was within proper error) or if they just keep chugging along.

    Pretty sure the challenges were tuned around 920/ToS gear. Sure, some people can do it before then, but most of us have to wait.

    All of the trash after Trilliax and around Aluriel and the trash up to Krosuss (Not including his giant Infernal and the 3 on his bridge), as well as the trash on the first floor before Tichondrius. You still have to clear the trash in Tichondrius' room and all of the trash on the way to...

    I would be willing to bet that the Black Temple time walking will be like the Molten Core time walking event. Just for the anniversary. Drop no gear, award a mount, and have a rare illusion/transmog that is a pain in the balls to farm due to low drop rate and the difficulty of the LFR scaling be...

    Sadly, it seems that all of the Mega-Buildings, other than the Habitat (which can be gotten relatively early) are just 'win more'. They all take 10-20 years to build the BASE and then you have to spend 5-10 years for each additional piece, of which there are 3 to 5. By the time you get to where...

    If you are going 'tall', I suggest picking up the Voidborne Ascension perk as soon as you can. Being able to build a Habitat (12-Population/Slot stations) on any planet that cannot be inhabited (Barren, Gas Giant, etc) makes it significantly more viable - However, the Habitats do NOT provide...

    Like most AIs in 4x games, it is made 'difficult' by cheating. They ignore most caps, get free energy/minerals, etc. The War in Heaven update means that sometimes (at least once a game if there are 2 or more of them) Fallen Empires mobilize and go to war with each other. They can and will wreck...

    Nope. Hivemind cannot use robots/synthetics. You can, with the right Ascension perks/Genetic Modifiers, assimilate other species into the Hivemind, though.

    Playing as a Hivemind is loads of fun/amusing, but it seems sort of overpowered at the moment. Not having to worry about Happiness is incredible. Everyone hates you as you tend to eat strangers, but it is still awesome. Guessing the big 'downside' is you cannot access the new Psionic...

    They should have just had the Invasions be up for 24-Hours. The zone is instanced/phased/whatever when the Invasion is up (As proven by the Azuna one - When it despawned, all of the regular WQs in the zone spawned, some of them with only 2 or 3 hours left on their timer)

    There is one, a turtle, that drops a new turtle shell that knocks people off of mounts. All of the other items were put into the chests you get for handing in resources or the paragon reputation boxes. The rares otherwise currently drop, at best, Dauntless Tokens and/or an item that can grant...

    Timeless Isle and Tanaan Jungle had rares that dropped Toys, Pets, Mounts, and Gear in addition to the random armor tokens/currency. Broken Isles lacks that. So they expect us to farm Nethershards at the nerfed and anemic rate of maybe 750-800 an hour. Yeah. No thanks.

    Quite possible. Trilliax's laser beam does not match up with the animation/there is a second invisible one that hits people. Elisande is spawning invisible Arcanite Orbs in the middle of the room when she does a second ring phase.

    I would argue that the AP grind is being significantly 'lessened' if you are behind right now. After 34 points the new AP scaling is ridiculous. To the point that if you have 54 points right now, on Tuesday you will have 38.75 points (Or is it 39.75?). So long as you have AK25 and are prepared...

    Not 100% true. 35 = 1 refunded trait point. 41 = 2 refunded trait points. 46 = 3 refunded trait points. 51 = 4 refunded trait points. 54 = 4.75 refunded trait points. So if you have 41, you are ahead of those who have 35 and so on. It is really pointless to do world quests/dungeons for AP until...

    Being able to get max level gear from any difficulty (with lucky WF/TF rolls) really kills a lot of the urge to push into Mythics. It should be limited to one tier above. LFR can WF/TF to Normal. Normal to Heroic. Heroic to Mythic. Mythic gear being able to WF/TF to +15 or +20 above the base...

    7.2 does not mean Tomb of Sargeras. The new raid will likely not open for 6-8 weeks after the patch comes out. There is no announced acceleration for legendary drops in 7.2. You can ghetto 'target' them by purchasing tokens that turn into gear and IN THEORY can turn into Legendaries as well...

    On the plus side, 7.2 is the 'passive' nerf to Mythic Night Hold. New talents should provide increased DPS/survivability, which seems to be Blizzards method of getting more people through content rather than nerfing it. Besides, I doubt Tomb of Sargeras will open with 7.2. My guess is 8 weeks after.

    Mythic Skorp is relatively easy. Chronomatic Anomaly can be difficult. Paladin healers really make the fight trivial, though. Trilliax is easy as well, so long as you have plenty of ranged to eat cakes and/or you can hammer it into the heads of the melee to sacrifice uptime to eat cakes. After...

    In NE PA, my area is expecting between 18 and 38 inches between now and Tuesday night.

    So, some of the RNG being removed is a good thing. Having to fish for double-best traits would have been brutal. However, for 30,000 Resources and 14 Days time, that is a pretty freaking weak reward.

    Correct. Reynard shows up in the second and third books, but his storyline is significantly different than the television show so far. The magical blade that they were going to use to kill Martin in the show is stolen from an art collector in Book 3, by Asmodeous, when she double-crosses the...
