Mmmm. Coffee, bagel, schmear. Breakfast of office cronies everywhere!
 
Today's topic is a celebration of the Dominion! I finally got my first Dominion toon to level 20, and am getting ready to wrap up Auroria.
 
I have to say, after two years and endless trips through Galeras, all I could ask myself as I drifted off to sleep is:
 
WHY HAVE I BEEN PLAYING EXILE ALL THIS TIME?!?!?!
 
For serious, the Dominion Lore is fantastic. The storylines are way cool. The architecture isn't just slapped onto to ruins. The Vigilant Church rocks. The Luminai are composed and gloriously snooty. Highborns are a riot. All in all, it's the far better of the two factions.
 
That said, the Emperor commands you all to cease and desist your Exile blasphemy and join the Dominion.
 
 
Yes. NOW.

NEVER!
 
Pretty committed to my Exile Slinger and guild, but glad you are having fun checking out "the other side" :)
 
We had a good night last night- working on SD and definitely got a look at the first pillar phase. We really changed how we were handling the add room, and the new strat is working MUCH better once we got good at it.
 
I'm really, really enjoying learning this fight, and from what I hear our guildies are too!

Interesting erm guild name you've got for you Dominion character, looking at your sig, Tex. xD
 
I've always said the Dominion starter zones and storyline are the better ones of the game, I can never get past Thayd on my exile toons, it's such a junkyard it doesn't make the whole thing appealing to me.
 
As for me and my gaming time lately I've been rping more and more often and I need to finish a bio for one of my characters and get back into writing, I can't believe it was July when I stopped, it doesn't feel like July was that long ago!
 
My guild is finally 7/9! Who knew a casual, roleplaying guild would get this far? Well I knew, but I really enjoy proving everyone else wrong hehe!
 
Jeff- if you need any pointers with SD lemme know! But I know I'm enjoying discovering fights for our own as well, so I fully understand if ya'll don't want help, and that's okay! :D
 
I've finally got photoshop working again: - made some badges for my officers again and this one is by far my favourite cause of the expression on the helm!
 
Real life's been awful though, I've been really ill with this cold. Finally broke my fever though! Thank the Scions!

I have a lvl 18 Dominion medic on entity and kept her in her house for a year now, i made her back then to check the dominion side out, i planned to use her housing theme as "Pride" filled with statues and luxury stuff since Cassians  feel like High -classed humans and exile humans feel like renegade warriors for me at least.
 
Could probably finish what i started with her now in the coming months

Having quit my job and rejoined the ranks of students, I can finally post in Morning Coffee again! And it's actually here to be posted in! Yay! :P
 
Don't have a lot of time today as I'm out the door in 10 to take care of so much stuff for my new studies, but I wanted to welcome you to the fold, Tex. Pull up a seat and don't mind the chaotic furballs... unless they're attempting to 'borrow' your limbs for 'experiments'. Then you should mind them. ;)
 
I don't really have a preference for faction—I actually started Dominion because I assumed there would be more hardcore PVPers, but I haven't PVPed much since discovering skyplots. There are things I like about both and things I dislike about both, though it seems that the Dominion is getting a bit of a facelift to remove some of the onerous aspects of Dom life (basically being a proselytizing Big Brother type). So that's good. My somewhat mild dislike of the Exiles came mostly from the uh, Aurin... but before you space bunnies get too upset, it's not that I dislike the race entirely, I played one in beta, it's just that I was bothered by the sheer volume of Aurin players. I like a little bit more seriousness than fun in my games and I found it hard to take Exiles seriously with so many anime-like creatures running around. :P
 
(Strangely, I have a great affection for Chua, but also find the Dominion diversity is more balanced, with maybe a higher volume of Cassians.)
 
Anyhoo, time to run out the door, but if anyone is new to the Dominion and looking for a place to rest up for that bonus XP, feel free to use my plot (Proxima Dust). I'm also happy to help if you need a hand beating bosses or building your own plot, as I enjoy helping, and housing is my jam. ;)
 
Enjoy your day, everyone!

			Meh. Meeeeh. Meh. *mopes about* Apparently the boom-boxes and accountbound loyaly rewards can't be transferred over, so bye bye highwaymans threads, loyalist's beret and stuff. *sighs* Oh well.

Heck yeah. I know you're on the other side of the pond from me, so we'll probably have to find a time when we can catch each other (like a weekend, when I can get up early or stay up extra-late).
 
Really, first thing I need to do is fly back to Illium and actually pick a name and drop the cash on it. I was going to do it this weekend, but ended up pushing two characters up to 15-20 to get them in Housing.
 
I'll endeavor to do so this evening. Yay!

Lame sauce.
 
But, on the bright side, you can join a brand-new Dominion Guild! (Coming Soon, watch this space!)  :lol:

Well, I quite literally just woke up about half an hour ago, so my sleep cycle is anything but european. ;)
 
/edit: Charname is "Yarner Spellweaver", so you can find me and stuff.

My Dominion toons are in blue above, but so far I'm only playing Lana and Pam.
 
 
(Now, what we REALLY need is a turtleneck mono-skirt thing so I can look the part!)	
----
			
It's good to see coffee still being served. 
 
I resubbed over the weekend. I was looking over my toons, somehow launched the Cassian Warrior I'd never really played and am liking it. Looks like I'm a dirty, stinking Dommie now. /blush

			Will it be detrimental to my success in your future guild when I admit that I never watched Archer, nor particularly care about watching it in the future? :X

DOMINION FOREVER!
 
ahem.
 
Anyway, not too much going on atm, really just biding time until f2p comes out and I get to build ALL THE PLOTS FOREVER. I should really finish leveling some more alts so I'll have more level 50 plots to use, but it does get arduous after a while, specially 40-50. We'll see.
 
In rp news, US Dom side I'm going to try hosting some one off adventures on one of my plots come f2p, so if anyone is interested feel free to message me! I may start with a module in the Illium sewers and maybe a Mad Max - themed one ;).
----
			
Eh, I'll pass on the dominion. Just not enough of that master morality in me. =D 
 
In wildstar news, had a great week. Cleared GA in just over a night, got some pulls in on SD and are starting to work on pillar phase again. Sunday we were still a bit short, so we did minis, but had the chance to clear fire-wing minis! Learning those was a heap of fun. Plus we got some upgrades for various peeps where we've mostly cleaned out the probe minis of useful gear.

And Illium has SEWERS??!!

Nah, not at all.
 
But you are missing out on probably the funniest thing on television right now. I didn't want to like it, really I didn't.
 
Then I sat through the first three episodes. Before I knew it, I was six seasons deep and totally upset that there weren't any more ready to watch. :D

			Woo, level ten now. And once again I noticed the obvious, glaring problem with the spellslinger class. Waterguns >;(

Waaah, maintenance ;(

Put together a suitably chaotic interior for my spaceship house. I think I'll try and build a sort of space-port on my land...
