Oh Nexus. I am just not feeling it this week. Heck, I barely felt it this weekend. Space Race is fun, I guess ... and yeah, I've done enough to buy a full Tech Shuttle for Janet to put on her plot. And yeah ... I did a few dailies, a few Contracts, a lot of saved Daily Expeditions I was sitting on.
 
But now I'm just in this holding pattern, waiting for Winterfest to launch.
 
Finally got around to loading up on NCCoin and (*gasp*) bought three or four of those 50¢ Space Race Boxes. Didn't get anything really cool before I decided to just sack away what I've got left (most of my purchase) for the holiday event.
 
That said, I'll probably not be playing much until tomorrow evening.
 
Holiday ads are kicking my butt still - and I've got two more full weeks of this horsecrap before life returns to normal. I am sure that has a lot to do with my malaise. Work is exhausting, so when I get home, I just want to drink strong drink and turn into a couch potato until bed time. Video games are too much effort at this point.  :lol:  Finally knocked that chest cold out of me, so at least I'm feeling better.
 
So, what about you guys and gals. You "feeling it" right now or just waiting for something new to happen? Counting the minutes until Winterfest (like me) or dreading another weeks-long interruption in Wildstar life?
 
Talk to me, Nexus!

A little Wildstar malaise, but then I also attribute a lot of that to Fallout 4.
 
I'm looking for new story content myself, and thus at the moment just popping in for raids mainly.  However the raids are going well.  This week we managed to beat up two progression bosses, beating Maelstrom Authority for the officially first time (there was an unofficial time when he bugged so we didn't count that).  And then last night had success on Earth/Logic elemental pairs.
 
I'm terrible at housing, and not a lot of incentive to get better at it, so the Space Race thing, while clever, doesn't really do it for me.  I want story development, new raid, new zone, new enemy models, etc.  Been doing this for a year and a half and anything after that amount of time would grow stale.
 
On the other hand, there's always more feral ghouls and synths to put down :-).  So I don't mind too much.

I am feeling... relaxed. Finally. Technically not on official break until tomorrow, but today is Math/English finals, so I don't have to go into work at all! Looking forward to the lunch party later today, though. Hopefully I win one of the raffles and get a Christmas bonus. :3
 
Last night friends and I ran some vet adventures to try and get some gear for that fresh 50 friend of mine. I guess it slipped my mind that no one does adventures anymore, which... is really silly. I mean, contracts get you gear, but filling up that bar takes time, so it only makes sense to me to try and pick up some gear in adventures while building yourself up to vet dungeon level. Oh well. Queue was empty, but the four of us were able to grab a Hold My Beer friend to fill in the last spot - thanks, Calvernus! You're awesome. :) Did vet Crimelords and WotW, and new 50 ended up with a couple upgrades! Woo!
 
[edit] Wait. Just remembered why I need to feel stressed today. @_@ Health insurance. Because in my state, there is such a thing as "too poor to be helped". Ugh.

Yeah, I just got my hands on Destiny, Arkham Knight, Wolfenstein, Thief and Inquisition last night. I started downloading/installing Destiny (since, you know, shooting aliens is always good for a laugh or two) ... but I ended up going to sleep with like 20% left.
 
I dunno. I loves me some WildStar - and can't wait for Winterfest - but much like you, Remi, I have just ran out of enthusiasm for the current content available to me. I mean, yeah, I could probably tell my wife and kids to get lost so I can finally do more than casual forays into dungeons and stuff - but honestly, I am just not sure I can bring myself to bother right now.

Having a lot of fun- Datascape is pretty amazing, and I'm enjoying our exploration through it. It's nice that some other guild we are friendly with have beaten System Daemons about the same time that we did, so we are all progressing through the same areas. It's led to some nice collaboration.
 
We did the ice wing + 2 minis and earth wing + 2 minis, bugged limbo (the reason I haven't updated my sig) and some pulls on Volatility Lattice. Much fun all around.
 
You know, I really, really liked GA. But as a zone, DS kind of mops the floor with it. The place is just amazing.
 
The bummer about Christmas is that people are in and out as far as schedules go (my wife and I included), so some of our exploration will likely have to be on hold, but that's just more too look forward to after the holidays, right? :)Don't tell anyone I said this, but I do feel it's kind of a shame that this great raid zone is locked behind GA and System Daemons. I hope in the long run, a lot of people get to experience this place.

Still recovering from my staycation on Nexus :D so kinda blah at the moment <_<   Well that and I pulled something in my lower back which makes sitting for an extended amount of time painful so I might just dial back on the obsession a bit.  But ibuprofen is magic, so *shrugs*
 
It helps to have goals.  I am now working on getting the last two of my six Exile 50's to full AMP & Ability points.  Maybe I'll have to start doing the same on my Dominion 50. 
 
Part of that was maxing my path for those two free points.  Settler... not sure I want to go through that pain again.  I suppose it wasn't -that- bad.  Did full zone clears of the path missions in Algoroc and Celestion, Thayd, Galeras, Whitevale and Farside.  Maybe a few things here and there in the later zones.  Actually it was only half of Whitevale, did Farside first because I was farming for that space helmet costume piece.  Hrm, I might have a new thing to chase as I still need to level Soldier and Explorer.
 
Speaking of that helm (regularly sells for 5-10p on Entity), I did finally get it on a different toon yesterday :wub:
 
Still trying to get better gear for LJ so he can start running dungeons without stinking the place up.  The goofiness with the contract board is making that difficult.  I got the same exact tier award choices this cycle that I did last cycle so no chance of upgrades for another week or so.
 
Started a new ship build on an alt :ph34r:  Kinda need the Darkspur Fighters for the build but she's only 15.  Bleh.  No I am not paying 6p each for the "slim" variants that come from the gamble boxes.  Wish I could use the 20 bazillion I've got on my 50's.  Making that decor soulbound is just such a design fail.

Good day!
Good you are feeling better Tex =)
I'm also just waiting for winter event to start, hoping that there will be something sweet to spend some omnibits on. 
The most important for me is to get hold of rowsdower slippers for both my chars. I leave town 23rd and wont be back home until after new years. So I will be missing out on most of the event. Hopefully the days I can participate will be enough to get what I need.
 
Otherwise days just pass in extreme speed right now, so little time and so much to do... as in irl pre-christmas rush that affects all things in life :)

Good morning Nexus!
 
I just got back from Maui, it was great. I don't understand why I don't live there. Surfing was loads of fun, and I managed to cut myself on the reef so, got a sweet souvenir to take back with me. ;) But of course that meant over a week without Wildstar, and really no time at all to do the Space Race!
 
I've popped in to do a few vet shiphands (and got gold, yay!), but I have so much to catch up on... and then there is Fallout 4 which owns my life. :wub:
 
That said, MacCready and Danse will have to take a time out when Winterfest comes; I'm so excited for Winterfest. Holiday events are pretty swell, and after the success of Shade's Eve, I'm running high with anticipation. I haven't looked yet at what is involved, but I expect to be pleasantly surprised.	
----
			
Oh my god. 2+ hours and many tears later, now all I have to worry about is that I'll be paying ~1/3 of my paycheck every month in insurance. Yay.
 
... I'm gonna need some serious game therapy when I get back from this lunch party. ._. WildStar, comfort me with your merciless dungeons.

So it's my birthday today. Not starting out how I planned. Instead of gearing up my engi at last night's alt raid I got in a car crash and was admitted to the hospital for overnight observation. Super fun stuff, I know. Waiting for the doctors to say I can go home. My boyfriend stayed at the hospital with me and I'm sure this is exactly what he had in mind when he took the day off...
Anywho. Once I'm out of here I'm going to gorge myself on whatever I can get my hands on and do absolutely nothing productive for the evening. Also need to find something to ward off the affectionate, feline monster waiting to jump on me back home.

So it's my birthday today.
----
			
Good morning/afternoon all, 
 
I haven't had a whole lot of time in game these past few days as real life has been hectic. Not sure if I will get into the game over the festive holidays as I spend alot of it with relations and giving my liver and drinking arm a good workout. But if I do make it into the game over the festive break then I will no doubt be intoxicated and not fit to do anything other than working on my alts.
 
Which is what ive been doing recently.......working on my alts that is and not the intoxicated part. I have been gradually leveling up my various alts and it has been fun despite a few teething issue's with some of the classes but no doubt it's the build im using for them and I will just have to mess around to find one that suits my playstyle. Engineer started picking up around lvl 25 and as im nearly lvl 30 the class feels really sturdy which is good, my spellslinger is fantastic and im having alot of fun with that class, eventually got a build that fits my style and its coming along nicely. Esper is ok but I think its due to early class syndrome as I haven't yet fleshed out a decent build for the character but thats the one im struggling to motivate myself to play the most.
 
Warrior is fun got a large yellow lightsaber looking skin for his sword off the AH which im blaming Christmas time for as it is giving me shopaholic syndrome in game. I appear to be buying alot of fluff for my characters like a mount I really didn't need, a costume, a weapon skin, deputy lopp to go with my spellslinger in his gunslinger costume etc etc etc.
 
Right now im looking forward to the winter event if I do not go broke in game before then and although I got a few ship decor pieces for this latest event I haven't really been going out my way to get the items. But overall im still enjoying the game and the honeymoon period still hasn't worn off so that's a good thing as the game is keeping me interested plus I took out signature the other month which will last to April. Which if you listen to half the posts in General Discussion I will probably outlast the game, ive never seen so much negativity (think that's the right word) in my life but so far for me Entity is looking great population wise and I just hope the numbers Wildstar is pulling in can keep it going.

			Yeah While it was fun doing Veteran Expetitions for contracts and the housing items, I'm looking forward to the event tomorrow. Its the only thing I'm gonna have this holiday so better play it to death.	
----
			Thank you everyone for the happy birthdays.  Out of the hospital.  Taking the time to rest before I start terrorizing everyone with my birthday demands.  Glad I decided against any big family celebration stuff till Saturday.

See? I did mention in a thread that running to instance entrance is like a giant deterrent in getting help for adventures (or unrallied instances). :lol: You guys could have easily 4-manned all of them (sans BoB), but nobody wants to take a few minutes to manually get to the portals.  :P

Hey guys! And happy birthday is in order! /sends many internet hugs
 
I'm about at the end of my tether with wildstar, with seeing bots in pvp earlier I think it's about time to say that Wildstar and I have officially "broken up", my fangirl has disappeared from my heart and I no longer pledge allegiance to carbine. I will no longer be playing actively and will instead only be logging in to speak to friends, do housing and do the events. I'm not sure how it will end up but right now I'm in two minds, I either actively seek to raid... Or I give up on the game for good (I really don't want to, but pvp is not going to change anytime soon which makes me awfully depressed)
 
You won't miss me too much, I'll still be around just as much on the forums and hopefully will be able to show off some cool housing stuff :)
 
Anyway, enough negatives! I had an alright day today, found out my rent had increased (ugh), did a bit of painting and then sat and played some games in the afternoon before baking some mince pies. MMM :D
