Memories,
 
I'm sure we all have them when it comes to WildStar.
I learned today, that today marks the day where I killed Ohmna in the Genetic Archives.
Exactly one year ago, this little Chua challenged the monstrosity inside the Genetic Archives and walked away victorious with shiny new pistols.
I can't believe it's been 2 years already and that we left such an epic fight behind for almost a year now.
 
Also looking forward to take my new raiding team to this fight as well.
We're at the Convergence Council now inside Genetic Archives, so our Ohmna fight is approaching again.
Going to be an epic struggled to get her down again, but oh so worth it.
 
But yeah, memories.
What are some really fond memories that the people of Morning Coffee have?
 
 
Also, yesterday I ate my very first twinkie!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was sweet.....and spongy....
I don't really understand the whole history/story behind twinkies, and it's not something I would eat on a regular basis.
But I'm happy to say I've eaten a twinkie, and scrap it now from my life-to-do-list :D

My fondest memory of WildStar will always be my first memory.
 
I had just gotten into the Black Ops. I had read very little about the game outside of the trailer and a short interview. I only thought I knew what to expect ...
 
Zoning into the Northern Wilds that first time, knee deep in snow, wind howling, the soundtrack building ... Level 3 (no tutorial at all) and no freaking clue what to do next.
 
It. Was. Awesome.
 
Thus began my journey - and though I never bother to keep up with the higher-end stuff, I have always enjoyed my time here. The art, the humor, the amazing soundtrack - it's like no other game I've ever played, in terms of sheer aesthetics. 
 
That said, I think it's time for another short break - probably until Arcterra hits. I mean, I'll still log in and piddle around with dailies and whatnot ever so often, but I have (again) reached the point where the long slog between upgrades is forcing me to run content I really don't have time for. So, as a very casual player with no interest in dungeons or raids (or building Houses for No One) I've hit the wall for now. Very much looking forward to the next content update, though.

First kill of System Daemons ranks very high.
 
First time running a dungeon with my wife when she "got it".
 
Killing phagemaw in the moo with only our slingers alive because we all void slipped the bomb damage.
 
Killing x-89 with one platform left.
 
Grapply Hooks.
 
Progression on Stormtalon Vet/First kill of Stormtalon (kids these days don't get it!)
 
Progression on Drokk.
 
Organizing our egg groups on Kuralak by standing around a fire.

Fondest memory is also the most terrifying....
 
The giant Lopp that killed so many of us during the end of beta event.
 
How we rallied together, leaving any idea of factions and war behind, gathering to destroy these giant monsters the Devs had laid before us. And then I saw it, bounding towards us. Giant blue eyes, spear in hand...... looking at us as if we were nothing more than shinies for the taking.... the giant Lopp.
 
We.... we never stood a chance....

I have so many awesome memories in Wildstar. Here are a few of my favorite things:
 
Day one of headstart: my guildies and I log on (there's maybe 10 of us to start). We start leveling and pooling our coins together to found the guild. Had it done by halfway through they day. It was such a fun thing.
 
Getting that silver SSM for attunement. Man...that was something. Going from taking 3 hours to clear it the first time to missing the time by 3 minutes the second time to FINALLY getting it with 10 minutes to spare.
 
Walking into GA the for the first time. My guildie QiThulien and I went in together. Just the two of us. We stealthed all the way to Kuralak and then to X-89 (and got killed by him.) It was totally awesome. LOL
 
 
That time that several guildies made alts with Care Bear names as part of a running joke teasing some fellow guildies.
 
 
The guild meeting on the day after my raid team fell apart. There were about 12 active raiders still left, and we were debating what to do. Much to my amazement, they wanted to recruit and rebuild, and we did. They were so awesome both in picking up my spirits, and in stepping up to help reform our group. And then, they pooled together and gifted me enough plat to buy that ridiculous run speed upgrade (the 80 plat one). Oh the feels! I love my peeps :)
 
Our guild meetup last summer. It was such a crazy, fun time to meet these folks in person that I've spent so much time on voice chat and in game with. And they were...pretty much exactly the same. We had an absolute blast.
 
Walking into Datascape for the first time after FINALLY killing Ohmna. It's just a beautiful raid environment.
 
I could probably go on, but these are the first things that sprang to my mind.
 
Now, if we could just stop having holidays and keep the servers running, we could get enough raid time to actually kill Avatus. LOL

Oh nostalgia! :D
 
The memory that leaps immediately to mind is entering the very first shiphand way back in the closed betas with my husband. I had been testing the game on and off in very early closed beta for a yearish beforehand, but he never received an invite. Finally - FINALLY! - we were going to be able to play it together! So we rolled up some characters (finally had most customization options available yay xD), explored our way through Algoroc, and then launched into space. We had so much fun bouncing around in low-G, and then we went inside and the lights went out except for a cone illuminated from our helms, and creepy parasites were bursting from bodies, and it was great. The atmosphere set by M-13 was deliciously creepy and something that's stuck with me to this day. We're both big sci-fi horror fiends (me probably a bit more than him), so we loved all the nods in that shiphand.
 
And of course at the end of it all, I tried to jump off the asteroid. I was endlessly pleased as my screen faded to black and those ominous words appeared: "You drift off into the dark, inky sea of space. Only the cold will comfort you in your final, agonizing moments..." Oh joy! :D
 
I have lots of other great memories of this game already, included but not limited to some really epic and intense roleplay scenes, meeting fantastic people and making new friends (hi Elkhan; hi Cast!), that first time we set foot into Stormtalon's Lair (something that should resonate with everyone, I think!), and of course good memories around my more recent raiding activities.
 
There have been some stressful, even negative moments too, but luckily the good has far outweighed the bad.

			I think my fondest memory might be wanting to strangle guildmates while in GA. We were still in progression at the time and like 5 people realized "Bail Out" can be used to troll the group. So we go to the second level making our way to the minis and eventually Phage Maw and bam during a base pop pull...BAIL OUT. Then the others got the bright idea to do it as soon as we teleported  into the second level and after about 3-4 times it went from infuriating to laughable.

Wow, I don't really know where to begin.  Gotta say though that SD kill was something else.  Beyond that, the first time I lived through Mordechai (heck, any time I live through Mordechai), Trogun, Shallos and Rayna.  The first time I ripped aggro on Phagemaw (whoopsie).  YOLO Gear (seen this twice) and YOLO Ohmna.  Jeff stating "Good to know I don't have to set up Kuralak any more" :lol:
 
Like Nau mentioned, there are some really fantastic RP'er's here.

			I think its been about a year since we killed ohmna ourselves. (I would guess a kill date of either 2/1 or 2/8, but I'm not sure, I know it was before drop 4 though). My best memories of Wildstar definitely is been the people in the raid groups I've been in.

			Good memories? I have two: the day Carbine added body types and the day they fixed the ugly problem there was with dyed textures being all wonky!

Building my first house
 
Going downstairs to find a pair of chua cuddling in the bed in my first house, completely unannounced
 
Finishing my first 1K build
 
Getting involved with the RP communitiy and realizing how much housing in this game compliments RP
 
Imagining what we could do with neighbourhoods for the first time
 
The F2P livestream. Was probably the first time since launch that I felt part of a community that includes the devs
 
First contest win... "They like me, they really like me!" :p
