Good morning :)
 
Tried my hands at the Protostar Academy Veteran mode last night.
That place was hard......

No coffee for me, yet. I still haven't slept. I've been up putting together all he pieces of this helmet I'm working on. Still need to put the top fin/rudder/thing on...
 
 
My nephew wants to be The Rocketeer for Halloween, so I agreed to help him source some of his costume pieces. Hope you guys don't mind me sharing pics of stuff I'm working on. I can stop if it's annoying.  :D
 
In Wildstar related news, a friend of mine seems pretty into the game. He comes over and plays on his warrior from time to time. The only real time I have to play is when he's visiting, though. Too much to do.  :P
 
Hope everyone has a nice morning! I may (probably will) pass out and sleep until the afternoon.

Just make sure you have moved the helmet to a safe spot before you passout and use it for a pillow.
As long as pics dont take over the coffee am sure no one will have a problem here - don't be surprised if others share theirs also.
Some people might suggest that your friend moves in so you get more w* time but then might be to focused :>

Good morning!
It's grocery day so no coffee for me this morning until we get come more milk, which won't be until this afternoon.

I spent most of last night playing my baby slinger, though I did a vet dungeon or too as well.
 
I actually runed my baby-slinger's gear, because I'm *that* #hardcore. But actually, the prices for leveling runes are pretty cheap, and I'm hoping it will help me with my focus issues in normal dungeons. I was OOF at 50% of most fights. Ooof.
 
Also got my wife's level 50 stalker back into shape for doing some dungeons. Still has level 50 green hands we need to replace, but other than that, she's in decent shape for vet dungeons. We want to get her attuned for alt raids.
 
Been reading a lot about System Daemons and how it's crushing tanks. We'll give it some pulls this weekend and see how it goes, but hopefully the fix TT was talking about putting in happens soon.
 
Meanwhile, tonight is a raid night, but I'll have to miss because of a wedding rehearsal for my sister in law. Fun times.

Morning coffee peoples! Todaybis friday, ehichbis unfortunately just another day. Was about an hour late for work this morning due to a debilitating headache that had me nauseous and dizy. But after a while had to just deal with it and get up cuse if I call in sick there is no one to replace me and just makes the next few days worse. 
 
I got to play some last night, did some dailies and a couple contracts while the wife was playing tomb raider on the xbox (yay free games). Im actually surprised how good of a game its been so far.
 
So my hope in the next couple days is to run some dungeons on my slinger to get back into the groove of healing. Im tosaing up between focusing on my healslinger or my engi tank and cant really decide. My slinger is a lot farther ahead gear wise but it cant be to hard to catch up as a tank.
 
Also got myself one of those bandit carvers last night but not sure what character to give it to yet.
 
Anyway, everyone have a good day and weekend :)	
----
			
This is what sleeping at sensible times gets me... I miss out on the cool rides!  :(
 
Costa Rican coffee this morning! Yum. 
 
Tanked two dungeons last night. First time since the big patch. Went good. Some bits have actually been made harder (hurrah!).
 
Shall I mention that the first boss was down before I realised that while I may have been in the right build, and the right stance, I was still wearing all my assault gear?... no?... no... probably for the best.
 
Also tried some PvP healing... jeez, I need to relearn how to heal with the new focus costs.
I actually think it's a good thing, it's was so easy to aim to gear to largely ignore focus costs and just use the biggest and bestest spells you can, but... that's not how it should be, and I'm glad I'll have to work at it properly again :)
 
Tonight... assuming no guildies need anything tanked, I think I may dip a toe into housing. (Must set it to maximum security lockdown so no one can come in and laugh at my terrible building skills until I've got in some serious practice :))

I did not even see this thread because it was buried under the landslide of Babaji horseshit.
 
I am so sick of those *cupcake* heathens. :angry:	
----
			
I'm on my way to LA...sweet vacation, how I need it. 
 
Means no WildStar this weekend :-|. Will live vicariously through the forums. Maybe. Lol	
----
			
My wife is sick and I can feel myself already coming down with it. I'm getting off work at 2:30, going to the pharmacy and loading up on DayQuil.
 
I am playing some damn WildStar this weekend and no stupid microscopic germs are going to stop me. THE STRAIN WILL NOT STOP ME!!!	
----
			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Typical day. Breakfast and so forth. I am on vacation until next Thursday, woohoo!In Wildstar news, I have -finally- hit beloved with the Guardians of the Grove which means no more dailies in Blighthaven and +1 ability point. I am only short one point so I am debating whether I should be patient and grind The Defile's reputation or just buy it. I am not anywhere near 5000 prestige nor am I going to clear Gold Veteran Skullcano or Sanctuary of the Swordmaiden anytime soon...mostly because I am on Entity-2 and all by my lonesome.Speaking of which, is Entity-1 stable now? Or is it lagapalooza at prime time?Danger ahead! Danger behind! Maybe danger sideways...	
----
			I also wanna point out that chua need more classes. I wanna make a chua buy already have a slinger, medic and engi. And do not like esper so far :(

Price of ability points is way low now. I'd just buy it- haha.
 
I had one drop in normal STL last night. I didn't even realize they COULD drop from a level 20 dungeon.	
----
			
Niliana, i make my coffee with water instead of milk. You might try that. :p. Except fir the occasional latte, i always drink my coffee straight up. 
 
Like in the pirate movies where the maroon a guy with a pistol shot and a bottle of rum, today I'm stranded on a deserted island with nothing but one cup of coffee and my laptop (well not exactly a deserted island). I guess I'll catch up on my W*. Yesterday i did daily quests for the first time since my return. Today i think I'll see if gold on OC1 is still easy to get. Group finder is suggesting some expeditions, guess I'll try some of those too.	
----
			
It's Friday which means everyone in my office is excited for the weekend while I prepare to work it. That's just the nature of the job, though.
 
Regarding the redemption mount, if it makes the folks who lost out on it feel better it's a single character mount, not account bound. I'm sure some scum bags redeemed multiples using multiple emails, but honest folk didn't gain a whole lot particularly if you play multiple toons. 
 
Either way, I'm sure Carbine will do another giveaway since the first one was so popular.
 
Here's to a prosperous gaming weekend and good coffee.

Coffee on the desk, a break between classes coming in.  I've just hit level 15 with Paz Bazza last night, and noted the whole one gold and change in his pockets.  Eleven for the mounts, plus training I assume....  I'd like a hamster ball for my chua, really.
 
I realize that the answer is likely to be "sell crafting materials on the Auction House," as it is in several other MMORPGs, but figured I'd check.  There's not some ridiculous and obvious make-extra-cash-while-questing-and-leveling thing I've missed, is there?  I took two gathering professions, figuring best to hoard early and craft later, and neither questing nor trash items seem to net much in the way of coin.  The Auction House is the way to gather a bit of cash in pocket, then?
 
First day of real Autumn chill this morning.  First day of bright red fallen leaves, too.  Good day for a mulled tea or a warm coffee.

@TexArcana: fight the strain! For what it's worth, my mom has a "cold breaker". She alternates between Tylenol and Advil every four hours. Obviously there is no proven scientific evidence but it works for me.

If you're even remotely close to the Defile rep, I'd go for that personally. (though if you CAN buy one and have plat to burn, what the hell! :))
 
You can get about 3k rep a day if memory serves me, and that was BEFORE the patch, so now with rep flasks and all sorts, it's probably more like 3.5.
If you're lucky on the assortment of quests in a day, it can take only 15 minutes or so as well.
If you've got a couple of people to help and are really devoted, you can do a couple of 5-man ones as well, which may well bump it up to 4.5k or so?
 
Point is... it didn't take me long to get that one :)
 
Starcomm on the other hand?... ugh... ugh!
(Lots of promissory notes went to Star Comm ;P)
----
			
I am dealing with housing block. D: The pain is real. Trying to come up with some interesting features to include in Antimomy's canyons so that they don't start feeling samey, but having trouble... wanna add a river, but I'm being indecisive on where...
 
And still have lots of rocks to place. >. <

When I did them (which was only a month and a half ago with my alt) I got 777 (odd number, but there you go!) rep for EACH Defile quest.
There's only 3 or 4 single-person dailies, and a couple of 5-man's (and the Lightspire event of course) but it doesn't take a lot to get you a good 3k a day if you've got half an hour to spare.
 
(and then with the new buffs, should be even quicker)
 
Coffee update! Now I'm onto the boring crappy instant stuff (yep... the workday afternoon "make do with what you've got" stand-by coffee :))	
----
			
Defile reputation comes really fast even if you skip Drusera's holdouts.  But with the new drop rate on the tier unlocks I'd probably just blow the plat on them to get it done.  A very big THANK YOU to whoever adjusted that by the way.  :wub:
 
Ran STL and KV (first Immortal KV run for me, was short gold by a couple challenges) and did King Plush for the contract.  For a light content night I made between 1.5 and 2 plat after repairs.  Got to RP with some friends that I haven't had much chance to do that with lately.

I actually had a similar problem last night!
 
I was originally planning to work on the mess hall and the medical bay and the chapel and stuff on my ship, but I ended up redoing my corridor layout instead and then spending a couple of hours trying different corridor designs to try and get something that felt "Dominion" but also wasn't overly samey, and also didn't cost an insane amount of decor. Getting things to look better than "grey corridor 1" and "grey corridor 2" is always a challenge for me. I was also struggling with inclined or ramp portions a lot, since I usually use my elevator tubes so I can skip those areas entirely. Its a hell of a lot easier to build when you never need to worry about connections between levels >_<.
 
Also I have found Katia Builder to be a total lifesaver in this case. Once I get a big section of corridor I like, I can save it all and replicate it, all 20-30 pieces at a time! Its going to make building out the corridors WAYYYYYYYYY faster which I very much appreciate. Its also great for replicating my pressure door setup, which I want to use everywhere but is 10 pieces, so it would be a nightmare to do otherwise. With the increased decor limits, I think this tool is going to become even more crucial to reasonable build times, since placing 2500 or 5000 decor pieces manually would probably take... months :x.
 
I think the corridors templates turned out well though :3. Just need a lighting pass later.

I tanked baby SSM on my engineer yesterday.. Oh man they changed a lot of the mechanics. We had some new people in, I totally explained every boss fight wrong Q.Q
 
We still managed to finish the run. It was painful but satisfying.. 
 
Also Skash's insta death bubbles need to be slowed down A TAD BIT.. Engineer tank with EA , I barely could out run it, even then got hit twice taking me down to 10% heath.	
----
			
Not a newbie thing, but I finally got my SSM run done for my gloves and hit the 4 silver achievement at the same time.
 
Woot for more decor!

			Am listening "Be A Star" from Yoggscast. For like milion times already past last year. And now it is playing again. Just cant get rid of it.

I am a firm believer in hot coffee, hot tea, Thera-Flu and DayQuil.
 
And naps.
 
Lots and lots of naps.

			Did we get this boring that quickly? :lol:	
----
			Maybe? I kind of figured people were mostly in game today, but as I have not seen them I can't really say for sure.	
----
			
Heh yeah, I've been getting progressively sicker all day, so I wrapped up work and headed home. I just woke up, over four hours later.
 
Now for drugs, coffee, dinner and Wildstar ... not necessarily in that order.
