Good morning everyone! Ever wonder if you would be able to eat your breakfast if it looked like this one and stared back at you? 
 
 
Not sure I could do it.. 
 
Anyway! 
I've been working on collecting companion pets, and I've had a hard time deciding which one to keep out because I think there's quite a few that are just adorable. Do you have a favourite? Have you tried to collect as many as you can or do you just sort of happen across them as you play? Have any advice for people looking to collect? Have any awesome screenshots of you rocking Nexus with your pet?

Well, I'm from Texas, so having to look breakfast in the eye ain't nothing new for me. Once me and that cow are done, all that's left is a pile of barbacoa tacos!
 
 
(For those who don't know, authentic barbacoa is made from the cheek meat of beef cattle. It's an arduous, un-fun process that is worth every greasy minute once it's done cooking. Nothing else like it!)
 
You know who else loves barbacoa? MY LOPP DEPUTY PET!!! (Screenshot ganked from Wildstar website, all rights reserved.)
 
 
Seriously, Lopp are the soul of Wildstar. Y'all could make twenty Lopp pets and I'd want them all. Everything Lopp is number one. All others are number two, or lower.
 
 
While we're talking about Pets ... They need something else to do other than just follow along behind me. I'd *really really really* like either a Housing Plug where my Pets can be corralled or (in the case of intelligent companions like the Lopp) the ability to have them just wander around my Plot all free-form. I supposed there'd have to be some limit to how many could run free, but maaaaaaaaaaaaan, how nifty to see our jabbits, rowdowers and baby girroks running all over the place?
 
Okay, that's enough from me. Work to do. Have a great day, Nexus!

In EQ2 pets roam around the housing plots, it was always quite an adventure to see where they'd end up (sometimes on top of things they shouldn't be on, etc). Of course that came with its own set of bugs (like them roaming off of the edge of cliffs outside houses, through walls and furniture, etc). I don't mind them trailing behind me, but of course I'm always a fan of "give all the options". What I'm a fan of and what is actually a reasonable request do not always match up. ;)
 
PS - that breakfast with the eyeballs. Nope. Just couldn't do it. 	
----
			
I love the pumera the most, but I'm a total cat person. xD Also adore the snoglug.
 
Have only really been RPing and working on housing in WildStar lately. And over the next couple days, that's going to be even less because TRESPASSER DLC AAAH. Can't wait to dive into that when I get home from work. @_@	
----
			
I'm a breakfast for dinner kinda girl
 
 
And no, I really dislike eating foods that look back at me 
 
 
Ugh  :(
 
I always start a search for pets and end up distracted by things in game! For some reason my screen shots are not working, the folder is there but nothing is going in to it no matter how many time I hit shift print screen  <_<

Hey Wylf!
 
I saw you showed up late to Coffee yesterday, but they'd shut it down by the time I could log back in.
 
Welcome back!

Hey lovely people,
 
Currently feeling a bit under the weather, so WildStar activity is limited for me.
But been doing more and more dungeon runs with our new guild members, slowly preparing them for raids and helping them grows, as well as our guild by unlocking the final bonuses in the guild perks.
So sort of like a win-win situation for everyone.
We're mostly doing it for fun and giggles though, as we're having actually quite a lot of fun running instances with full guild groups.
Even stuff like Malgrave Trail.
 
On the Addon front is going slow.
I don't have enough time to properly work on Addons right now.
Still need to finish a comission, which I will hopefully do on Sunday, because it needs to be finished before the F2P Launch :/
Only one functionality left to implement, exporting housing data.
Then the UI which is fairly simple if Houston decides to cooperate with me.
 
Cozmotronic is getting a complete overhaul.
No longer trying to make it work using a library as external section, but just one addon that runs it all.
Probably more work, but in the end it will work and is easier to debug.
Hope to finish this in 2 weeks before my break starts.....

We had our Tuesday night GA run last night- fun times, but didn't get as far due to several people with PC issues and such. But we only have to minis and Ohmna left, so hopefully we can get in a good kill and resume work on SD. Learning a lot about SD as I'm researching, and definitely have some plans to revise what we've been doing.
 
We had our best, cleanest kill on Convergence last night. Got immortal and everything just clicked like clockwork. Man, I really, really like that fight a lot.
 
I actually got two purple upgrades last night, which is cool, because I haven't gotten a purple in several months- those things like shields and support systems are in such demand that everyone rolls on em. I got the shield mostly by attrition (all but one have it now), and the support system by awesome rolling. My AP is now 3,996. LOL- I almost want to re-rune to get over 4K (but I won't- LOL- not spending any more plat than necessary on runes until after F2P).
 
Also, realized I'm *still* rocking Pirates Bane, and wondering how that will convert for F2P. Probably not great.

*sigh*
 
Remember when this thread would push 12-15 pages EVERY DAY before lunch, no matter the topic?
 
It's so quiet around here these days, makes me really sad. :( How far we've fallen, as a community.	
----
			
This will probably change once the game becomes free and more people will visit the forums. I mean, looking at the general discussion forum right now it's mostly dead anyway, with only what, 2-3 threads being more or less recent (as in, used in the last three hours). So that naturally translates into the chatterbox thread as well. Very few people around means less people to indulge in conversation.
 
Now, if it will actually change for the better once free to play is around remans to be seen. I foresee an influx in spam.

Hello Olivar, by the way. I see you dropped the third person talk :p
 
I'm surprised that the name "Zeta Epsilon" wasn't taken on Jabbit. This pleases me.

Yeah well, most activity is now on the PTR board it seems.
Even ingame it's actually rather quiet, always seeing the same people.

Hey now have a little optimism there Tex! :) 
 
I understand the doom and gloom from the veteran players, I really do, I spend a lot of time reading posts and seeing what you guys are all posting (and I'm a player too, even belong to a guild!), but on that same note I think it's important we (as in us, a community) do our best to welcome the new players to WildStar, and help to make it a great community for them. :) I've seen some really awesome things going on here (our player-run event thread is full of them) and I want to keep seeing stuff like that. ^.^ 	
----
			Now I want freebots as a playable race/faction. But eh, not sure if it'll be really that bad. At first maybe, but overall the change to free to play can turn out to be a good decision, provided Carbine doesn't screw it up. Lots of free to play games with decent communities out there. Dungeons and Dragons Online being the most noteworthy example for me, incredibly nice playerbase.	
----
			
Morning guys,
Hopefully it does pick back up. I was leveling a new spellslinger last night since I dont really know what to do on my warrior before the transition. Maybe I should try to get the pets. Wonder many will be coming back after the f2p switch. It would be cool to have threads like they were back when I stopped last year.	
----
			Chillia! You're sort of in the know, I'm sure. When f2p hits, will I, as an EU player, be able to play on US servers? D:

			Fair enough. Should you manage to acquire an answer I'd be happy to hear about it :) Although I suspect I'll find out myself in twenty days. If my interest holds up until then.

I've seena couple of casual guilds Tex. In fact, you might want to try talking to Neffelo Clamp about Whoo Goes, its an rp and casual pve guild. I often compare it to Delve Deep (my guild). We are also an rp and casual pve but we lean more toward raiding and Whoo Goes (so far as I know) leans more toward rp and casual fun stuff. 
 
 
Also Dom population changes a lot depending on time. Most nights though there are several dozen people around, just most of them sit by the contract board or at the starport AH. And since Dom houses a large section of what I would consider the hardcore pve (raiding) crowd, there are a lot of Dom players that only log on to raid and are rarely in Illium.

			They aren't an rp guild in the same vein as Valesius or anything. They're just a guild of people who roleplay, not any in-guild roleplay. From the members I know they're cool people though so worth giving them a look imo. 	
----
			Personally I wouldn't associate the name "Whoo Goes" with roleplay either. Might be a bit biased there, though. My time on WoW RP servers taught me that guilds with silly names usually aren't your friend, when you're a roleplayer.

Do guilds still need more than one person to create them?
 
Nevermind, apparently they never required that.

I'll be waiting for the free bots to hit the amp/ability wall at 50. The QQ and "I quit" over that may FINALLY be enough to get the grind removed! One can dream.
 
In game, same as always: raiding. It's all I've got time for these days.

Was about to leave the house this morning for work when the wife pointed out that I had an errand to take care of.  :blink:  It wouldn't really have been a big deal except I've got two super hot issues at work that needed to be addressed.  (Down to one now)  Ugh.  Just trying to get my head back to a frame where I can tackle #2.
 
Last night's GA was weird.  I was definitely off my game.  So there we were with X-89 and he does his knockback.  I hit my keybind for Pounce and hear the distinctive sound for Stim Drone.  Well crap, I'm still in my "unicorn" build. :lol:   I did manage to live through it all.  Huh, guess there's some hope for my Engi not having to depend on Urgent Fart.
 
I'm currently a backup kicker for System Daemons.  Seems like the debuff you get was moved from the debuff bar to the buff bar :blink:.  I'm frantically searching the net for its name so I can either make an aura for it or do something to make it more apparent.	
----
			Well Tex you can still talk to me. And I've got two Lv 50s on Dominion. Although they're both very poor since I gave all of my plat to my brother right before he stopped playing.	
----
			Hey zidders how have you been? Starting to have hope everyone will come back. Wish I'd never dropped out of the game. Just ran a Vetern Stormtalon and had a massive flash reminding me of every reason I loved this game in the begining.	
----
			
I wondered what happened to Blazing Saddles. I saw a post from the former management, seemed like they left to another game and invited people to join them? If so, I can understand the frustration. Not cool.
 
So hey, how come when I tried to login to Wildstar's forums I got a message saying it wasn't safe, and then suddenly I was logging into aion stuff? o_O   That seems... unusual? I had to jump pages to get back here and when I did, somehow I was logged in... /ghosts
 
I too am glad to see this thread up and running again. Wanted to kickstart it as well but the current job (which I'm leaving in a week, yay!) doesn't afford the time. So thanks, Tex!
 
Wildstar pets, well, I haven't been collecting but I think they're all pretty damn cool. The game's art style and creativity are huge strengths so I hope the emphasis on cosmetics continues, with just enough things to do to keep folks interested. ;)   I for one am too obssessed with housing to think of anything else...
 
20 days until everything goes completely nuts. Bigger plots, massive decor cap increase, bunch of new decor, new FABs, new insanely hard to get house, animated decor, vomit-inducing crazy skies... it's just fabulous. I sincerely hope I have the time to build more epic stuff with a return to school in the works. :lol:
