Morning Everyone!!
 
Here's a pitcher of iced coffee so help yourself :)
 
 
I have so much to do in Wildstar it's insane! I am finally feeling better and need to get caught up on all my crafting and dailies!
 
I still need one VSH on Sophie, Space Madness. Can you get gold on that one solo?
 
What are you up to on Nexus this week end?

Vacation's over.  The forums should be fixed now.  Back to the office coffee.
 
 
Yeah right....
 
 
That's more like it.
 
So, Wildstar news!  Last night late I did get to log in, but nobody in the guild needed a hand.  I was thinking of hopping to an alt when I saw someone asking for a tank for a normal KV in /z.  I figured, "What the Hell?  Why not?"  So I jumped in with them.  It was three shiny, brand-spanking-new players in a circle called Chubby (heh) who I do believe are a family of some description (once during the run, they all simultaneously DCed).  My healer was Fleur de Meur.  Talk about hitting the fun-spree jackpot, I got a raid-geared healer and three people learning the ropes.
 
This is what I do!
 
So we hopped in and, for three brand new people, these guys had some instincts!  Some pro-stunlocking going on with that group already.  We had a death on Drokk and a wipe on Trogun, and I think a death on trash.  That's it.  And it's always fun rolling with Cercie!  Unfortunately for her, she had to track me and heal as I bounced around, thus becoming another healer with a permanent bald patch from tearing their hair out trying to keep me standing.
 
It was great fun!
 
What's on your weekend Wildstar agenda?

Howdy, Nexians!
 
So I was looking through my "Facebook Flashback" posts and found this, from one year ago this week.
 
One year ago, Black Ops was dissolving and an entire screaming horde of new players were storming the topless towers of Illium.
 
It's strange to look back on that time now, to see how far we've risen, fallen and risen again as a community. To see who has weathered the gale and who hasn't been seen since. To watch the old faces and the new come slowly marching back to our doors. Witnessing the change of the guard on the dev team, the movement away from #hardcore to #accessibility has been a thing of beauty.
 
What a long, strange trip it's been.

{| class="blockquote"
Damn, we double posted.  Want to use mine or yours?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yep. It's a bit tricky though so usually helpful to go with people that know the instance.
 
 
I have to get Kythria (Vet KV hidden boss) down because I'm committed to an X-89 run Sunday night :)
 
I was too wiped out from Wednesday night Choregeddon so I wound up crashing for the night.  Last night I was supposed to be in an RP event but there were some coordination issues and I wound up not knowing where I was supposed to be.  Was still feeling kinda drained so laid down again and didn't wake up until 1am :(
 
Tonight is the Villa's Theme Night and this week's theme is Pirates!  Will have to see what kind of costume I can put together for that.

Oh hell yeah. It's no shocker that Sharice has been getting all my attention lately! She's so fine. :lol:
----
			
So I logged on last night but none of the guild folks needed dailies so I just ran them all byyyyy myyyy sellllf (sorry).
 
Still grinding out that rep on Normal Moo for the amps. I hear that pvp is significantly faster so I might throw on a set of starter gear and jump in there.
 
I did find out that my brother has maintained an active subscription to the game despite not playing in over three months (suckaaaa). So he might be giving it another shot soon, which would be awesome.
 
And Vic, your tanking will have no effect on me whenever I get my healer leveled and geared. I'm already losing my hair.

Good morning all! 
 
Had no time in WS last night because I moved to my new apartment. Moving is much less fun if I do say so, but hey I've got a kitchen. Hopefully I can make it on tonight, but who knows. If I can't Saturday is raid day, so fun times to be had there. 	
----
			
Yeah, Space Madness Gold is quiet achievable.  Biggest thing to realize is how the sanity meter works and how that phases things.  The monsters don't necessarily get harder as you get crazier, however there are definitely more of them.  Also the little animals you have to catch phase with madness.  The first one appears at the first stage of madness.  The second is at the second stage of madness, and I think there's a stage that skips an animal, and the Party-On Dawngrazers are at the last step.  There is no problem with becoming completely insane, if you like, so let the meter run to zero if you like (though you will suffer bouts of disorientation so that could be problematic).
 
Also at full madness have fun in the big hold.  Look around!  There's interesting things in there.
 
In some ways, getting gold on Space Madness is easier solo than in a group.  Two reasons.  1)  All monsters get harder however the sanity meters are not linked for everyone.  It is possible to descend deeper into madness than your party mate and they cannot fight what you are fighting until they are in the same phase.  So you could be soloing monsters that were meant for two or more without their aid.  For some classes and gear levels this is not a problem.  If you feel you're squishier then just be careful.  Death doesn't break gold though, it's just a time wast and annoyance.  2)  The bit after the fight in the hold with the exploding rowsdowers gets slightly more difficult with more than one person just due to lack of control.  It seems to me like there's more bodies pingponging around and inevitably someone zigs when they should have zagged and gets hit by a rowsdower blowing up.  That will break gold.
 
Otherwise, enjoy.  It's one of the funnier shiphands.
 
We raided last night, though seems like situationally Thursdays the roster and scheduling are weak.  We did finish off the final variation on Convergence.  Negative Sword makes for a very quiet fight really.  Usually we have a lot of coordination about essence rot waves and whatnot, but without that it's just burning Hammer down and then whittle whittle whittle.  Easy enough really.  We prepped the rest of the instance for Ohmna fighting on Monday and went and killed some trash in Datascape, but didn't get as far as we wanted.
 
Dunno about tonight.  Probably PvP or doing dungeons with folks.  I'm easy.  Might even just go read a book.  Ye olde medic got started with Outfitter as a crafting profession, but I've discovered I really hate how they've handled leather in the game.  Ore is plentiful and straightforward for armoring and weaponsmithing.  Leather and cloth seem to be phoned-in, in terms of equivalent acquisition quantities and quantities used.  Well, all of crafting needs at least a review, but I expect that's on someone's todo list at Carbine.  Maybe Drop N+1, someday.
 
Been reading Robopocalypse and Ancillary Sword.  The latter because I forgot to bring the former with me to work one day and if I don't have something to read over lunch I go nuts.  So I went and got the latter.  Both seem alright to start.  The latter I am anticipating to be better as I quite enjoyed the first book Ancillary Justice.  Probably go see Avengers over the weekend sometime with the boys.  
 
Weather seems nice outside in the midwest today.  Enjoy the day you get.
 
EDIT:  For those who need Kythria or looking for dungeon people or adventure people, please feel free to reach out to Final Frontier.  Ex-Evindra guild and we've almost always have someone who is trying to put together something for someone.  I know some folks are still trying to gold all the adventures (curse you Malgrave randomness).  Just saying, we're a resource.

Just let me know if you want a tank for anything maybe tonight or Sunday night if I'm on!

It's gonna be a bit longer than that haha. Normal Moo is geared for tanking so it's usually "where the hell are all the healers??"
 
Of course I'm always happy to bust out the deepz and be a kick/powerlink bot.
----
			Space Madness is my favorite Vet Shiphand to run, either solor or in a group. I can get it done in about 15 minutes by myself, if I don't have to back track to get one of the animals that I missed.

			I wound up not playing as much as I wanted to last night. Went to a friends house to watch the 1st round of the draft and when I got home, the beer had made me nice and sleepy... I will be playing and streaming most of the weekend. Going to make some good progress on the Medic. I really need to get him to 50.  :)  Hope everyone has an amazing Friday! See you all around Nexus this weekend. Hopefully. ^_^

I have a baby medic. Got her to level 15, I think, and stopped. I really need to give my alts some love, but there is so much to do on Spouse, I don't find the time. :)
 
I started a warrior, finding it really hard to get her out of the starter zone. I hear they get better around level 20 or so, but I am really bored with her.
 
I do want another level 50, but which one will it be? Stalker, medic, warrior, esper ?? Yes, I have baby ones of each of them. So many decisions and stuff to do!

Warriors get a lot more fun as the difficulty ramps up.  Once you're dodging teles from melee range without the fancy Stalker moves, you get to have a lot of fun!

			I'm kind of hoping to knock out vet KV either tonight or Sunday night if anyone else is on.  I know I'll skip the world boss stage, so I think that drops me onto the final step (Kythia, IIRC).  I just need to bronze vet KV first on Seeger and then I'd be good to go as a sporadic raid tank.

That's just how fast Wildstar is.  You need a serious mental speed upgrade to play this game.

You'll have to do glub glob and the silly primal quest before Kythia.

If I can knock out attunement maybe, and if my gear is good enough.  I'm still in mostly 55-58 gear with a few 61 purples from SSM mixed in.

Yeah, you can if you're in Blazing Saddles more than a month and you've come with me to go on a world boss safari.  I think I could have cleared the world boss step with titles within a week of that change being introduced.  I'll almost drop whatever I'm doing just to tank a world boss.

World Bosses and Vet Dungeons count achievements so if you do them before you hit that step of attunement you get credit for them :D  It was a really awesome QoL change.

Anytime.  I usually jump any time anyone says "world boss".
 
Off to today's client meeting.  Wish me luck!

Vet Dungeons count before the step? I didn't think they did, just the WBs.

They definitely do. Shame that adventures don't. My warrior completely skipped the dungeon phase during his attunement.

Hey everyone! 
 
Took the week off of Wildstar, needed a break, but I'll likely be back at it this weekend. I need to optimize decor usage and finish up Nikson's plot to get ready for the Yardcore video next weekend!
 
In other news, I finally broke out my copy of Dragon Age Inquisition and dear god it is a massive game. I spent three nights this week playing my life away and I don't think I'm even an eighth through the game... somehow i feel like this is going to be like reading a choose-your-path adventure book over the course of an entire month. Crazy!
 
I also saw Ultron yesterday! I won't spoil it for any of your peons that didn't see it opening day :P, but.... OMG SO PURDY! LASERS! EXPLOSIONS! PUNCHING! PEW PEW! MORE LASERS! And yeah. I'll need to see it again so I can actually figure out what happened aside from all the pretty things but otherwise it was definitely enjoyable. 	
----
			
Oh hey! I was thinking about how I'm only level 9 on my Engineer still and I just stumbled across a song that someone apparently wrote about the experience with gear in WildStar at low levels. :)
 
It's funny how accurate it is.

Can I go home and play yet?
 
*checks clock*
 
Nnnnnghh one more hour. 
 
Guess I'll while away the minutes contemplating the Ranked PvP Season 1.5 Announcement.  Normally not a big fan of Arenas but I can derp through 25 matches.  One of the reasons why I don't do Ranked is that I really don't want to drag anybody else down.  OTOH if I can find a couple other people who are willing to make an effort but won't be put out if we don't make it to the top I'll happily make a go of it.

I am so ready to kill some pixels, so Nexus here I come! Well, after supper that is. :P
 
May all your adventures this weekend be filled with lots of pixel kills and loads of fun!
 
Have a fantastic weekend. :D
