Breakfast?  Coffee?
 
 
The weekend was a blur.  Friday I got my last vet dungeon for attunement done, Vet KV, and we managed to down Kythria so PJ could be attuned.  Since I skipped the world boss step ('cause I got titles, baby...) I pretty much went straight to Kythria myself afterwards.  Figured I'd just get it done Sunday, since Saturday was a gig day for me (went great!)  I got back on Sunday, but got sidelined by IRL things, so I didn't really get to be on Sunday.  So there I am, stuck at Kythria.  I'll probably clean that out sometime this week, either today or tomorrow.
 
Also, wanted to thank Cirinde.  I hated the box rewards program because I thought it was nothing but a shiftily disguised gamble box promo.  I certainly wasn't going to buy one.  However, Cirinde disagreed and had a bunch.  So she sent me the pirate costume.  And, hey, I may hate Carbine for implementation, but that was just the best thing ever!  So thank Cirinde, my distaste for the business model won't dampen my gratitude.  I don't want to shoot the messenger giving me free stuff out of the goodness of their heart.
 
 
How did your weekend turn out?	
----
			
Good morning everyone. May the fourth be with you. 
 
Had a decent wildstar weekend complete with a GA clear. Also smoked some Louisiana Hot Style sausages on new grill. 	
----
			
Morning, all.
 
I am sick of "Renown" ... All those cool things, costumes, unlocks, AMPs and stuff require Renown. I keep weird hours. I don't always have time to group up to even do dailies, so I just do as many shiphands as I can in my allotted time to earn what I can.
 
Yesterday, I woke up at 5AM. Did the Northern Wilds dailies, alone. Did the Shiphand Du Jour (got a gold!), also alone. Did another random vet shiphand, got a Gold, still alone. The day wears on and eventually some other guildies are getting a group together for the Crimson dailies. I know I've got at least two hours before I get interrupted, so I join them.
 
And I got more Renown from twenty minutes of freaking dailies than I did from almost THREE HOURS of solo play. I had enough to buy two costume pieces, that would have taken me three more days to grind out, from LESS EFFORT than playing alone.
 
I just ... I just don't like it. That's all I can say.
 
I am a solo player who just happens to love the community. I don't really like grouping. I don't like having to follow other people or have other people follow me. And I don't care about dungeon lewts or raiding gear or anything like that that would/should REQUIRE me to group. I"m perfectly happy farming up costumes and decor and stuff - but damn, it's like I'm punished for playing harder, like I'm given more reward for actually doing less effort.
 
It just don't make no sense.	
----
			
Good Morning Everyone!
 
Had a good weekend in WildStar. Didn't get anything done on my attunement. Still need to find a group that's willing to teach me the dungeons and fights and not get upset when I wipe us. :P
 
In the meantime, I have taken a guildie under my wing to teach them the level 50 ways of Vet Shiphands and dailies. Also, to get them new gear. I just feel bad they are being shown stuff by a spastic SpellSlinger.  :ph34r: I want to thank Cast, Taerse, and Tex for coming along on our adventures this weekend. :)
 
Vic, it was my pleasure to give you that costume. Just to see, or hear, the smile and happiness was the best I could ask for.
 
Have a great day all!	
----
			
I had a great time, Fitchy. I really did. I'm just grumpy that the returns on my solo-time don't seem as "valuable" as the scattered times I get to group.
 
It was really fun. No doubt about it. I just wish I had time/groups to do that every day.	
----
			
Well, had a decent run at GA on Fri/Sat. No sword in Convergence was different, fun, and very hard.
 
But last night was crazy. Did manage to get enough people together to kill x-89 for an alt/pug run, but then X-89 dropped . . . nothing? And no one got the achievement for killing him?
 
So that was surely disappointing, especially for people who needed x-89 to unlock glory gear. We decided to call it a night shortly after.
 
Oh, and I tanked one trash mob. Healer pointed out I only had 10K armor and then we realized that I had forgotten to link my build to my gear, so I was tanking in DPS gear. So yeah, the work I put in to make sure I was good to go from a gear standpoint was all wasted since I only tanked that one pull. Oh well, props to Glit and my wife for keeping me alive . . .
 
Finally, the raiding circle is bursting at the seams, so the two main guilds, ADK and TCO, are splitting into guild sponsored runs at the end of the month (folks in the circle but not in either guild will be welcome to keeping running with us, though in the future we are mostly going to stick with guildies as far as adding players goes). I'm sad that I'll no longer be raiding with some of those folks, but happy that the game population is recovering to the point that our problem is TOO MANY on the roster. We'll keep using the same signup page, and I've updated it to be able to handle multiple raids now . . . www.raidschedule.com if you want to see the work I've done.
 
That being said, I guess I have to start recruiting so we can fill out a few missing slots for our TCO only raids coming up. Fun times!

You, Tex, are a spaz doing the dailies. I love it! :wub:  I had so much fun just trying to keep up with you LOL.
----
			
Figured it's been a while since I last participated so here's how my weekend went :)
 
Friday.
 
Got tons of PvP done, OxHDTV (Ox Wildstar on youtube) and I teamed up for a stream, talking about pvp and anything wildstar related for a couple of hours until we ran out of things to discuss and the pvp ques died :P
 
The viewers seemed to take a liking to it the show, through participation and the amount of follows my Stream got, so it's definitely not the last time we set something like that up. Maybe next it'll be a i´bit more structured though :D
 
Saturday.
 
Most of the day was spent at my baby sisters Confirmation, great celebration saw many people I hadn't seen in years and she got some aweseome gifst :)
 
Finally home at around 10 pm, log on, get told PTR PvP event starts in 30 min. Frantically rush on the PTR get runes done (took ages, I don't use runemaster like the scrubs ;)). Ok! so runes done, finally time to get into some PvP action, and I'm telling you it was absolutely great! 3v3 is just so much more fun than 2v2, and it opens up a lot of opportunities to mix/match classes for team comps.
I streamed the whole event, I learned a lot from the fellow stalkers and got schooled a couple of times by Vork in duels (scratch this up to the 130 ping I had lol ;)) but I honestly think I got back on the live servers as a better player :)
 
Link to stream: http://www.twitch.tv/mrshackelberry/v/4617554 (Action starts at around 1:45:00)
 
Sunday.
 
HYPE DAY!
 
DS20 man raid with Symbiosis, after wiping to Fire/Life all night wednesday we were pumped to get into the fray again and try our hand at the very LAST pair before Avatus. After a couple of hours they finally went down with a sigh of relief, and that's when the epicness started... AVATUS HYPE! That fight (only seen the first 20%~) is awesome, and so fun with the puns he's spewing about while killing us. Absolutely EPIC!
 
Anyways that was my weekend, a lot of stuff happened, but it's monday now, and a new week awaits of streaming, and preparing shows with OxHDTV.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well yeah, I've done them alone so many times, I just KILL, TOGGLE, BURN, KILL, RUN THAT WAY, KILL MORE and never slow down. It's dead? Run to the next place!
 
I don't be messin' around. I will say, the best part was not having to fight Rotter and Empress all alone. I can do it, but it always ends up taking forever and I blow through a health potion and every cool down twice.  :lol:
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Hey MrShackelberry (look no butchering of the name this time LOL)! How's the house rebuild coming along?
----
			I just go full dps mode on rotter and empress. I guess raid gear is good for something :)	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
GOOD JOB!
 
It's pretty much done, got 950/1000 decors placed :P
----
			
Zombie.... Grrrrrr.....
 
Not a whole lot of WS this weekend.  Ended up doing some HOMM3 and Smite and taking naps.  Naps were the best part.  Oh and finished out Agents of Shield on Netflix.  Sadly Hulu does this thing where they don't keep episodes around so even though I'm now ready to start there, I can't.  I think that's a bad model.  They should do something about that.
 
Also saw Avengers.  Enjoyed it.  
 
RE: Dailies in Crimson Badlands.  I dunno about other classes but I got to where I could solo the two group quests with some finesse on esper and engineer.  Engineer is actually a skosh harder due to less healing abilities.  Making sure you are carrying 3 IA for stunning is pretty critical to both.  So OV/ZapT4 or Incapacitate/CrushT4.  For esper, having bolster in there and projected spirit gives you quickie health though come Drop 5 that will be less advantageous because Bolster is not a PP generator.  Engineer, having Bruiserbot around to tank while you get away is pretty key too.  (Can also be used as part of the stun too, but a bit of a waste IMHO, because you need to have his tanking for a bit at times when you're not gonig to try to stun.
 
Anyway, yeah, being efficient about those dailies can be very useful.  Renown gain I can't speak to sadly.  Renown from before day 1 was a "group PvE currency" and I think it pretty much still has that behavior.  Shiphand rewards do grant a little, shiphand groups grant more (because it's a group).  I don't know what the answer here is really.  Loot structures are a gigantic can of worms and I don't have the energy to dive into the squirmy mess of "what gear do you need or want and for what effort should be required to gain it."
 
GA raid tonight, hopefully 2nd Ohmna kill and maybe some DS minis if we can get that done.  Hardly a farm fight so entirely possible to go all night without a kill if folks don't have their reflexes up to snuff.  But if we do... tanking gun will be mine!!! muahahahahahaha... ha... (it won't drop but there you have it).	
----
			
I don't have raid gear, as I don't raid yet. But I do have really good gear that will allow me to start raiding. I think with Empress, it's the magic stuff she throws at me. I just have no defense for it and the only stun I have has to be put on just at the right moment to stop it. It's hard to do with Empress. So, I just wait in the general area for someone to come along and help. *shrug* not a big deal. I still get her done in a timely manner.
 
Oh! I also, finally, got the Velocroix mount from a vet shiphand this weekend. yay!!	
----
			
Empress does two main abilities only one of which should be interrupted.  The long aimed telegraph is a very good interrupt opportunity.  The burrow is a big problem because while underground she's not interruptable, so unless you catch it at the split second it starts, you're best just watching the telegraph and getting out of the way.  Her regular attack is a poison throw and yeah, that hurts.  As I recall I soloed her first on the esper rather than the engineer because engineer's burst capability just wasn't real high.  Esper could heal herself a bit so that worked out better.
 
But, I daresay it all depends on class.  I've not tried to take the medic in there as I still have no idea how to dps on him past basic leveling.  I should probably do something about that sometime, but I mainly PvP heal with him so... no biggie I guess.

With a Warrior, with the high-level medshots and perfect timing, I have done it a couple of time - but it's ALWAYS *this close* to failure. I've definitely done the graveyard run a number of times. I can't recall Tex (Stalker) ever doing it solo.
 
My favorite thing to do though (not just with Empress but any big prime or bounty mob) is to catch a Dominion player doing it, waiting until they're about to die, then jumping in at the very last second. The Dominion scum still eats dirt because they've got the aggro, but I get the kill, then run off laughing. :lol:	
----
			
Ohhh... yeah SS... I feel for you.  I've been leveling one and enjoying it (even saw Blazing Saddles out in Biodome 3 yesterday... hallooo) but they are very glass cannon.  I suspect that will take some finessing if I ever get her up to that point.  The SS is just a slow weekend project though, so it could be awhile :-).
 
I used to do Rotter/Empress all the time with Dominion.  Course this was on Evindra and there was no world PvP so we just waved at each other and got in on it.  Even without healing, usually they die fast enough that it doesn't matter that it's not an organized group.	
----
			I was able to do Rotter pretty easily with my SS. Empress was just a little too much until I got around 3K AP. Now I have no problem getting her down before I die :)	
----
			
Can't say that my weekend was too exciting, just a lot of work. However I finally got Lorti to 50 and began working on her tanking gear a bit...
 
Next weekend I should have more freetime to myself and then I can help friends and guild more, but for now just mainly sticking to shiphands during my breaks. As for Rotter and Empress as a warrior they're not too bad, but I use a hybridish build when I solo as well using lifedraining, and a couple of defensive AMPs. I also always carry a medishot too incase i don't pay attention and slip up, but for the most part long as I interrupt them and just circle strafe(AI can't seem t do a good job of keeping up sometimes) I tend to be good to go.
 
also wooo kidney stones wooooo...wooo

Heh. I have never even *bought* those abilities! :lol:  Since I mostly play solo and haven't really needed "tanking" abilities on my LAS. I am such a slacker.
 
That said, I'll give your advice a shot and see how it goes. I want to learn to tank anyway.

			RE: Empress, you just have to constantly run in a circle around her. This will dodge both the burrow and the missiles (I've noticed that if you're constantly moving she will knock you down after she has already aimed, so you will be safe)

			I forgot that you guys are all Spellslingers. Can't you just take some healing skills and keep yourself alive that way? I know it works for low level primes but I've never tried it on a high level dps/heal class.	
----
			
I think I've managed to solo Rotter exactly once.  Every other time I tried he'd be down around 10% before he got me.  Empress I could usually do as long as it wasn't the one near the babies.  I should go another round with Rotter, I've swapped out some basic Brutality runes for Haste versions of the same (6/9 so 7.5% speed boost).
 
Of course Kitty doesn't need the rep and if I can get some vet dungeon runs in the weekly group PvE mission just melts.  Uh... I also bought LAS4 'cause I'm running out of things to buy with EG.  I mean I'm to the point of considering the two bags (mmmm, 3 more slots).  OTOH, I could use a bunch of glory.  (Once X-89 goes down there's a helmet with Kitty's name on it).
 
So yah, finished Attunement on Friday night.  Helped Seeger with his KV run and begged the group to help with Kythria.  Since Seeger finished his Dungeon step we headed off to knock out Glubglob for him and an alt of somebody who was in the party.  (I lived this time!). 
 
I think I tried to talk three people through that pointless Flights of Fancy mission.  It's not hard, but it's a frustrating Easter egg hunt if you don't know what you're looking for.  When I did it I found a map that sorta helped.  When I was advising others I found a much better one linked from the Jabbithole entry for this mission.  It's better because along with the markers it has text descriptions of where the element fragments are.
 
GA Sunday night, fun times :lol:.  I know what I did wrong in a few spots so hopefully there will be a bit less dying on my part.  Note to self: When the platform starts to blink from your small bomb GET. OFF.  Equally important!  Don't try to run the bomb clear across the map.  Next time Gadget, next time!	
----
			
You're Kitty?!?!?!?!
 
 :lol:
 
I am so far behind the times.	
----
			I just remembered that I have the "can't be dazed" amp on my warrior, that definitely helps. I can sprint around the mobs with reckless abandon and generate KE the whole time.

I always run with 2 heals on my dps bar. They can not keep up with the damage that Empress does. A lot of my issues with her is that I can't kite her to heal myself up some. She doesn't kite. She just sits there and throws poison at me. :)
----
			It was my first time fighting X-89 yesterday with you guys (thanks for the run btw) and I found it very fun as well. The biggest issue for me was the time to get out of range of the small bomb after it drops. I kept getting hit and dropping to like 10% before I got the hang of it. Died once or twice to a shout going off before I could sufficiently be healed. Although I don't have much wildstar raiding experience, I've died enough to Rift's Matriarch of Pestilence to know to run bombs out.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
How rude! Guess you've gotta catch her at prime time or when guildies are on. Or just massively out gear it to the point that it doesn't matter haha.

Got my first taste at healing Sunday, and it was totally unplanned.  Some guildies needed to get some imbuements out of WotW and they needed a healer.  I had the gear although it was still pretty weak (mostly questing, adventure, and dungeon blues) and thought I had the build but it turns out my healing build didn't save in Vince Builds.  Not even the AMP/ability points saved.  -_-  Fortunately it wasn't a big deal in vet WotW so I fixed up my build based on a guildie's healing guide.
 
Then they said they wanted to do Skullcano for an imbuement, so I managed to rune up my healing gear nabbing two of the cheaper rune sets all without spending anything somehow and we set out on a brilliantly masochistic journey.  On my end everything went pretty well actually, including on Mordechai, but we had some people inexperienced on the fight and one guy playing his undergeared warrior alt.  After numerous failed attempts, the alt switched to his main, a medic and we one-shotted Mordechai afterwards.  We then joked about him not ever playing his warrior ever again.  :P
 
 
Other than that I just did some random battleground and dungeon groups, and got an epic helmet upgrade from vet Forgemaster in KV so I don't have to spend glory on my final piece from the dungeon gear vendor and can now save up for GA vendor gear.  :) 
 
Basically I now have a functional off spec now and have joined the healers club, but only part time!  My heart is with firing laser beams at my enemies!

Ah the poo shoe. I have a female human alt that sits in the character select screen and I can tell when she's doing the poo shoe just from the portrait. I'll see the head start shaking back and forth and she'll glance down at her feet expectantly. Kind of a strange idle animation... where are these women walking where they are constantly getting poop on their feet?

			So my WildStar tomorrow will be playing on the forums from my phone while I'm sitting at work watching things to make sure the building doesn't burn down overnight. I'm very interested to know if the new adventure will count towards the attunement quests... so long as it doesn't add one more (5 required instead of 4) I'll be happy.

Omg sooooo freaking busy it's not even funny. @.@ Less than three weeks until Comicpalooza, and we gotta have all the swag and books ordered, which has meant, over the past week, a mad rush to finish final edits, the cover, and formatting for mobi and print... and omg so much money for two people living below the poverty line please let them all sell at the con. PLUS I'm trying to get my Raava cosplay done in time... All the while writing final exams for my students at school. Turned in the last one today, so whew at least that's done.
 
I miss WildStar. D: Super stoked about drop 5 tomorrow, though. Hopefully I can snag some playtime. Still not super thrilled at the item limit on the new wardrobe system (and it doesn't seem to have solved the issue of needing to use up a wardrobe slot just to toggle the display of your base gear), but it's still gonna be miles better. Yay! Chances are I probably won't be able to see the new adventure though... The hubby and I haven't even set foot in all the current vets yet. >_<

With the suggestions today, I was able to kill Empress *cupcake* all by myself! I am so excited about this, you have no idea!! LOL.
 
Thanks everyone! :) :)
 
Hubby was laughing at me because I was doing my happy dance around the computer room. :)

I forgot that you guys are all Spellslingers. Can't you just take some healing skills and keep yourself alive that way? I know it works for low level primes but I've never tried it on a high level dps/heal class.

			I think I'll be spending most of my time tomorrow looking into what builds I should be using rather than actually playing.  TBH I'm not that excited about what's to come in this drop anyway but man it's going to be painful adapting to the changes.
