Hey All,
 
This is my first MC in GD.
 
Just wanted to start by thanking Chillia and Buster for working with us to allow this thread to stay in GD.  So tribute to them.
 
In Wildstar news.  I got my "main" out of Farside.  I am curious to know why there were not more quests moon side for the amount of real estate that there is in Farside.  I guess I missed something because no quests took me into the area to the north east that has the neat cave ( and the dark effect ).
 
Protostar is still negotiating my contract. So "Stellar Chef" is still on hold.
 
Going to break from the "coffee" thing and say "Dt. Mountain Dew" rules!!!!!11!!! ;)
 
Oh and the requisite request that you all get in game and pwn the other faction *cupcakes*. ;)
 
((Please lock yesterdays thread per our agreement.)) ;)	
----
			
Mountain Dew? Really? I may have to lock this thread just because of that...
 
 
(I'm kidding of course.....really.. I am! Please stop sending me PMs!) 
 
P.S. Chua rock. 
Nexus..

Just woke up, Need coffee djfhroyvbl7;u4whlit62;ihypugi3fw

Walks into the thread, sniffing around, trying to pick up the scent of food.
 
Where breakfast? Chua not see any breakfast.
Cannot have morning Coffee without Breakfast!
Chua had delicious breadbuns again for breakfast with nice cup of Brazilian coffee this time.
 
 
Chua just finished doing dailies again. Back on 7 platinum now and working on unlocking cooking patterns.
Chua missing lot of fish and starting vegtables. Anyone can recommend Chua on good spot for finding "small fish" for cooking?
Chua tried making new soup with Meshi today:

			Thanks Uchorhu. I will go back and look for them. I hope they are not "gated" behind "LIght the Sky".  That was bugged for me. :\

			Sorry Oli.  (( I still haven't figured out how to get Internet Explorer to allow me to post links and pics Or cut and paste and let me quote. :(  ))

I stayed up all night RPing and didn't take any Screenshots!  But Rocio was being entertaining again at a group communion with the Legion of the Bloom.
 
After the services Rocio went to eat when he found cute lady Aurin all by herself!  Oh nos!  His usual pick up lines would be entirely in appropriate for the setting so he just sat there and talked and found out she was really nice and they had a lot in common!  Rocio now has an excuse to attend Communion services again.
 
[sarc] His mother would be so proud.[/sarc]
 
After that, Rocio took an herbalist home to help with an guildies injuries and hopefully we'll get a new guildie RP plot going! It's so much fun.
 
Wheee!

I too am strangely having Mountain Dew for Breakfast (well Diet Mountain Dew... but still) 
 
Just dragged my butt out of the shower feel like a Zombie, Think I'll go try my hands at getting a black dye on a few plot challenges before I head off to work!	
----
			I too am having Diet Mountain Dew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2iNfbnr1hAI simply could not help it. Personal favourite.Breakfast! Considering I am on the edge between having a full-blown cold ; citrus and water!In WildStar news, I finally completed Auroria minus the bugged quest chain. Onward to Whitevale (Ew!) today and (hopefully) I'll blast through it. I am not its biggest fan and I know for a fact that there is a bugged quest there too but it should be okay. I dislike Whitevale enough that skipping a quest chain is irrelevant.

Yet it talks about the game, and mentions Mountain Dew for Breakfast. Don't be cranky Tex, it still falls under everything excwpts lacks pictures.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I can't read before coffee, so pictures are vital.
 
Also, Mtn Dew is gross and only godless heathens consume toxic-green bubble water. Seriously. Pour some in a glass and look at that stuff. That's the crap the turtles crawled into and mutated. It's bad, m'kay.

{| class="blockquote"
I love Mountain Dew I also had it for Breakfast... I am also how you say a Godless Heathen and damn proud of it though. ;P
 
Besides I already told him to add pictures in a message. :P
----
			
Good morning.
 
Not get much sleep after waking up in sleep paralysis, half in nightmare. Felt like large hand was slowly crushing head. Very tired now.
Had baguettes with philadelphia cheese spread. Helped freshen things a little.
 
Didn't do much in Wildstar yesterday, mostly building up plot. Hoping to finish restaurant either today or tomorrow. Might post pictures of it in future.

{| class="blockquote"
Scott, I'm doing a cross faction RP on Wednesday hopefully getting some practice in for Skullkickers. I was looking for your guys Saturday in Whitevale but didn't spot you. Where are you guys at?
----
			
I once did a video shot for a Mt Dew competitor called "Surge" where I rode in a van that drove through a 12' high 2' deep wall of full Mtn Dew cans.
 
On Friday I got KidGrommet up to 13 Dommie side - I really need to look for the Skulkickers crew. The original Grommet finally found his Trigger Fingers amp on Widow (Woot woot) but his guild is gone so I'm prepping for transferring him over to Evindra as well.
 
Saturday I swore off Wildstar to go participate in a biker rodeo and ride down the Jersey coast.. sadly even if I did know how to put up pics here they are absolutely NSFW, lol.Rocio'd probably dig 'em though.

Chua just completed Containment event in Malgrave!
 
 
Chua also exploring area with Meshi and found new spot to call home.
Chua took screenshot, and would like to build in house too now:

I can't do chemical vats of sugar (also known as Soda or Pop) before Lunch.  I crash too quick and then I'm grumpy and people hate their lives.
 
Wildstar news.  Friday.  I don't know what was wrong with the servers, but good god did that not go well.  I gave up after about a half hour of ungodly lag.  Saturday.  No time for Wildstar sadly.  Had house stuff, baby stuff, errands and etc etc etc.  Today?  So far, I'm up to 11 on MaryJane.  Going to be on and off all day as I can squeeze it in.  Hopefully hit at least 13.
 
(Edit:  New picture.)

How am I supposed to RP with you if you're not in the world!   :angry:
 
and I rarely see you online. You must either get online really late or you're like. "Rocio's coming online and will ask to RP... better bail."

She carts a cup of coffee between two hands and finds a seat somewhere. 
 
Last night was mostly a bummer, in between healing for Drusera's tree, Elyona, and waiting for Scorchy to spawn, I got messages about more friends leaving the game. It's a struggle for me to remain interested when people I've had fun with since headstart are leaving. Hoping to merge my smaller guild into a larger one with promise and stay interested in the game, but right now I'm just severely bummed out.
 
Can I get something cheerful thrown my way?
 
Pretty please?

Ugh.. I always hate my first day back to work. I stay up way too late on my weekends, making it rather hard to get back into my week schedule. Gonna be a long day to start my long week. :/
 
Anyway, got Jiendo (my Esper healer) to 19 this weekend. She's fun to play, but I'm walking this hard line of gearing/AMP's/abilities. I plqn to use her primarily as a healer, so I'm putting most of my AMP's in the support tree, but I'm also predominately solo'ing content, so most of my gear is Assault power, w/ Support power scattered around to taste. So my time to kill is horrendous, but I rarely die. So it's not all bad. I plan on getting her to the same level as Vryce & then keep them w/ in a few lvl's of each other so I can have a dps & healer ready for group content. Not really gonna get anything done till Weds after my work week, tho sadly.
 
Stupid work...

Ah HA!  same problem i had!  the problem is internet explorer. it will not allow you to do such things. 
I made the switch to Google Chrome because of this, i got tired of not being able to post photos or quote people. Im sure you can use other web browsers as well, i just like google chrome, so just downloaded a different browser and bam, can do those things now, so its not you, its internet explorer   :)
 
Also, Good Morning All!!
I had lots of fun pvping last night with DelQ and Dimble. We won a couple, lost a couple. Held down the motha cupcake fort in Halls like a boss if im being honest. :P
Havent had breakfast yet, just kinda woke up. Bad nights sleep, lots of wandering my mind did.  I have decided i need to make a move, from Florida to Colorado, so the next couple months will be lots of second guessing myself and worrying about the trip and whats to come.
 
See some of you in game today!

Good  afternoon .
Today I had  oatmeal with almond-coconut milk and Trader Joe's iced coffee (served hot)  for breakfast.
I look forward to  leveling my medic some more after work tonight  in WildStar.
How about you?
 
Maybe I'll make it into the capital city today.  My medic is only level 9 or 10.  I got a little distracted with trying to find a quest from a hunter in Deradune that sometimes has a quest and sometimes is just wandering.  Odd.
 
I have also considered moving to Colorado.  The weather is not disgustingly hot like Texas, and the property taxes are still low.  I am finding, however, that the initial buy-in price for land and houses is quite high.  Boulder kept turning up condos when I tried to search for houses under $200k.  Denver turned up a super cute house, but no yard and I have no idea what the neighbourhood is like.  Sigh.
Most of my memories of travelling through Colorado do not elicit a comfortable feeling somehow.  The landscape in my memory is largely barren with houses and shops huddled together like people clinging to the last shred of warmth around a single downtown strip.  Although the mountains can be beautiful, they do also seem...complicated.  As in, it would be complicated to get into town during the winter.  Complicated to build on.  Complicated to bring utilities to a plot.
I've also considered Maine.  I can find many houses in move-in condition with over an acre of land for $150k or less, and the property taxes are pretty good (especially when compared to Austin, TX and SF area California).
There's always Kansas City, MO which is where my family is "from", and that's looking up...but the kind of area I'd want to live is also quite small and relatively population dense (lot size is either about 3500 square feet or 8000 square feet on the larger side - for comparison, an acre is about 44,000 square feet).
 
Let me know how that move works out for you, and feel free to PM me if you have questions about cross-country moves.  I've done it a few times now and might have a tip or two.
 
I really liked Whitevale.  Can you tell the snow doesn't bother me as much?
 
-T.

Dude, why? You have two LAS, use the 2nd one for your Support AMPs / build. For solo questing, a naked Bolster with some kiting+CC here and there will get you through easily. If you accidentally aggro'd another prime while you're killing a prime, just run away lol.
 
It's annoying maintaining 2 sets of gear as you level, that is my only complaint. Oh, that and there are too many healing espers out there lol.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You can distribute AMP's in the 2nd LAS independant from the first??? (Forgive me, I'm still a bit of a newb when it comes to that, I've never utilized the 2nd LAS on either of my toons, lol)

			Well, tbh, after 110 degrees, it doesn't matter if its dry, humid, w/e - its hot, lol. And we get plenty of 50%+ humidity & 110+ days during our monsoons. It would be nice if we got the rain to go along w/ the monsoons, but it generally just kicks up a big wall of dirt/dust & makes everything dirty. :/

So PvP bad egg Chua came back... this time he found an equally bad friend who PvPed me down.  So I brought a friend and made sure he understood that this was bad okay? This is what happens when you're bad! BAD CHUA!
 
Thanks for the back up Tex.
 
P.S. What was funnier is that when his friend was dead the other Chua ran away. :lol:

So I joined the SKullkickers last night on Evindra. Thanks for having Lilllie along! Then I fell asleep lol
 
Yesterdays birthday celebrations were a hoot. I ended up getting my 10th Goofy mug (I've been collecting Goofy memorabilia since 1991), and a few Goofy plushies.
 
Planning on more Wildstar today.  Hopefully I'll do more than fall asleep while playing.

So I got my Orbweaver in the mail today and I've been tooling around with it.
 
 
 
 
I'm fighting the Augmented Gronyx until it's second nature again.  Essentially, it replaces your keyboard for your left hand so that you aren't playing finger twister and killing yourself by having to take your fingers off the movement keys to nail attack keys.  I use the thumbstick to move, and it's been great!
 
Funny thing though, the peripheral is amazing, I know it's amazing, but I'm running into a problem.  Me.  Decades of muscle memory have made sure that my middle finger knows it's resting on W and will move me forward.  So I've spent the last couple minutes accidentally nailing Wild Barrage in the heat of the fight instead of running in a different direction.  My jump key is on another finger as well, instead of my thumb (since that now does the work of WASD for me).  I keep forgetting where my sprint is and hitting attack keys when I mean to move.
 
This will take some getting used to.  But I've had flashes of brilliance so far.  It's not so easy to hit your LAS keys while moving without this.

			That thing looks.... weird. You use it with your left hand? Does it replace keyboard and mouse in one? I don't really like anything 2-in-1.

			Ooooh the pic is upside down. I was confused on the "side chunk" - the one with gray oval button. How do you do shift, alt, ctrl modifier? Or can you just avoid using a shift modifier to sprint with that thing?

I have something sorta similar - an old Fang gamepad.  It's ambidextrous and has big fat WASD keys for movement, side buttons for jumping, and number buttons from 1-11 in 2 rows up top so I can hit my abilities with them.  I'm left-handed and use my mouse in the left hand and the Fang in my right.  It just doesn't work for me to try to WASD on the actual keyboard with my right hand...and I've tried remapping ALL THE THINGS to the right half of the keyboard before, too.
Sadly, the Ideazon / Steelseries Fang gamepad is end of life, and the alternatives like your Orbweaver there are not built to be used with a right hand.  Really would like to find an alternative and still keep an ergonomic setup.
Wildstar is one of those games that is forcing me to do all I can to be a better player, but years of muscle memory (as you all have pointed out) can be a pain to retrain sometimes.

Chua Wiles just ran into some Aurin in Whitevale... Wiles just minding his own business, killing some big snails. They start to joke with me, question why im even there... so what theres two of them...
Chua gotta do what Chua gotta do. Thats right. I smacked that Aurin back to yesterday!  Unfortunately their level did not rollback as well. Crushed by their minds Wiles lay helpless in the snow...
For but a brief moment seemed like eternity.  Wiles felt very alone, very cold.  No friends from The Skullkickers around.  That did not stop the fire burning within. Wiles quickly jumped to his feet, resonators ablaze.  Not without a fight...

Got him!
 
I'm feeling a bit more comfortable.  Might take a while, but It's definitely a lot easier to hammer attack keys while you move.

Today is... a rainy day and this Aurin fell asleep promptly as it started, hours ago.  -_-
 
Anyone else run into that problem?

I do run it with friends, but when I do, it never drops. It's always the Flamekin Link. I've got like 20 of those, salvaged another 30 of them. I've done so many SC runs.... 
 
Bleh. Last piece I need.
 
Here's some cake. Cause I'm eating cake to make me feel better. Don't judge me.

Hey wanted to give the Skullkickers a shout out.  Rungo, who apparently isn't a coffee poster but is in the kickers, just dropped in to help me with a 5+ in Wilderrun at random, even though he'd already finished it.
 
Give the man/woman/Chua thing a cookie for me!

The things you can find when exploring:
 
Star Trek's Lt. Worf: "... Nice hat."
 
 
Smug Chua scoring with twin Draken.
 
"... Yes, that's an Exile shirt... I found it on an Exile... an Exile I killed. And it looks pretty... Stop silently judging me!"
 
OK, now, the game isn't pretending anymore. Full-water-troll mode activated!
