It's Friday!!!!
 
 
 
I have been balls to the wall for almost a month now at work and it's finally winding down to a more normal pace. Whew!
 
Which of course means more Wildstar!!
 
Now that I'm going to have some extra time on my hands (read: not passing out from exhaustion when I get home) I will be working on capping my rep, EG's and doing my newly found fervor for achievements.
 
Which brings me to a question: What is the daytime and nighttime hour duration? 
 
The last thing I need for Algoroc is only at 'night', Roan Tipping. Everything else is done! In part due to my most awesome guild Blazing Saddles! They came and helped some of us lowbies out with Kraggar the Earth-Render the first 'raid' you get in Algoroc. He has a counterpart in Celestion called Grendelus the Guardian, both award you titles. Giant Slayer for ganking Grendy and The Rock Climber for crushing Kraggar.
 
Titles are cool  :wub:
 
I have a barbeque to go to Saturday night but otherwise I am going to lose myself in the immersive world Wildstar!!
 
What's everyone up to this weekend?
 	
----
			 This weekend will be a good one to play the heck out of WS. I have my grad school work done and aside from a few overtime hours I need to collect tomorrow, the weekend will be slow and uneventful. I plan on leveling my main and leveling some more. Finding a guild this weekend is also on my to do list. 	
----
			
What am I up to this weekend indeed?  I don't know myself...
 
 
I don't know what's coming up on our schedule this weekend.  I know Saturday we'll be at my mother's house.  This time, I won't be sitting at my soundboard, I'll be playing my bass!  WOO!  Can't wait!  My stepfather, for those who haven't heard me rave about him, is a pretty awesome guy.  I'd failed at learning both guitar and viola before my mother married him, and after meeting him, he not only taught me to play bass and a little guitar (after you get your B string on bass, you're addicted for life, so I don't see guitar in my future) but taught me all about working a soundboard and recording.  He took me along on paid gigs and treated me like a professional musician even though I'm still an amateur today.  All because I showed some interest.  Not only that, but the guy loves playing pretty much everything (and actually playing everything, since he seems to be able to play all manner of stringed instrument).  So he played in a big local band here doing covers of music from the 50s-70s, his band before that was an original country-blues act, his band now is an acoustic rock group, and when I come over he breaks out a pair of Floyd-Rose equipped electrics (6 and 7 strings) to play everything from goth rock to metal.  The guy's brilliant and brilliant to hang around with.
 
Back on subject, that's one day.  We may also have to go to our condo to finally measure out that furniture (we couldn't last week because my wife was sick).  I'm not sure.  What I do know is that I'm definitely going to be every waking second I think I can be.  I want to PLAY damnit!
 
I'll be helping the guild out and hopefully running some instanced content.  Remember, you Blazing Saddles kiddos who need them, we're running the Nursery quests and all manner of level 50 group quests this weekend, probably Saturday.  We have to figure out a good time between Kitty and Mythilt, so if you guys have a time, let me know so I can try to be free for it.  Outside of that, I know I want to get Donne leveled up to 36.  I got a full level and a half on him last night, so I think that, if I apply myself, I can have him at 36 by next week and start that remodel after Drop 4.  Let me know if you guys need the Shadowcaster before I put a big hole in the middle of it.
 
Also, on the subject of music I brought up in my random picture, I want to take a moment to spread the word about Quantum State Radio.  They're a radio station serving the greater Wildstar community that plays just about everything; depending on the DJ (though my wife and I are still a little sore about having our request for Ace of Base at the last Thaydfest mocked by the acting DJ, All That She Wants is a fantastic song and a classic through the ages!) you'll hear everything from heavy metal to smooth electronica to classic rock.  DJ Malak is also looking for DJs.  It requires a set few hours weekly and being part of the community, so if you're looking for a way to really contribute to this community and get involved, but you don't feel like you know enough about raiding or the game to make a stream, go drop by their website at quantumstateradio.com and drop in an application!
 
Even if you don't, tune in!  It's a free radio station for all of us, doesn't have any ads (except by Protostar!) and you'll be supporting a great community fixture.  They're going to be helping out with a huge hand at the upcoming Thaydfest.  Tune in and enjoy!  I'll see you all on Nexus!

			I did decide to create an exile, and I am on entity. I have read a lot of good things on Blazing Saddles, who should I talk to about joining?

Being retired every day is pretty much Friday, some days do tend to feel vaguely like what I remembers Mondays to feel like. Although it does give me a small bit of pleasure when I recognize that TGIF look on my kids face, especially when they mistake Thursday for Friday, is that wrong of me? 
 
Anyway on the Nexus front everything is beautiful, experience the least painful round of dailies ever a few days ago when I got together with some friends and blasted them out. The house is coming along beautifully, add some little touches. Sno recently started doing a story time at her house. She's currently 6 chapters into Winnie the Pooh, the turnout has been very good, thank you to all my friends for coming and making all the hard work that goes into setting it up worthwhile. Once the first Pooh book is finished she'll be moving on to The Little Prince, Story Time is open to all and the next one will be announced in WSRP chat. In addition to Story Time Sno has been doing PR work for another DJ, the very lovely and talented Miss Sunny D (Sundancer Mirthwood) at the Ankriston Villa on Tuesday nights. This past week we had an fantastic turn out and we introduced some new folks to RPing. 
 
End of report:
 
Sno White signing out!

Actually I am okay with that, I am a causal player I am playing WS for a change of pace and several other reasons, and my weekly life is constantly under assault (school, work, family). The honor system works for me, as well as the random grouping. I also like that the guild uses Sundays for group content cause that fits my schedule a bit better. I am laid back, so if for example guildies decide on a whim to go for an achievement run I can join in.

			It was another great day at River's teahouse!  River is now completely healed from her injuries. Though her ear's still missing, she was serving tea as normal, including a new flavor called Surprise! So many people answer "Surprise me!" When she asked what tea she wanted, she wanted a make a special tea, just for them. But then the fire nation... I mean Dusktail attacked. People at the teahouse were shocked to hear that River has forgiven Dusktail and only wants her brought to justice, not killed. But who knows if that's possible as her list of victims grows ever larger.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
JayUA13: Blazing Saddles is an awesome guild to be a part of. I know Vic and Khandi have already told you, but another one won't hurt LOL. I don't have any issues with promoting our guild :) I will be on all day today and this weekend. You can hit me up, also, for a ginvite. Yalanna Fitch or SpousalUnit Fitch are the two characters I am mostly on.
 
Yesterday I got through Defile and am now stuck on the 5man quests out there, along with those in Blighthaven. I am looking forward to this weekend, grouping with my guild, to get those taken care of. I did the Omnicore level 50 quest and got most of the way through. That last boss did a number on me. I died 4 times trying to get him down. He has 3 horns on his portrait and hits like a mac truck backed up by a speeding train! I am just too squishy :) Thinking of redoing some of my runes to add some defense, it won't hurt, I think? :rolleyes:
 
*Passes around the coffee cake*
 
Hope you all have a fantastic day!!

Yeah, that laser phase can be a pain in Omnicore.  You've got to be on your game and burning down those adds to get him out of his healing phase as fast as possible.
 
Either way, I'll definitely be out there doing the 50 man quests!  Always love doing the Black Focus quests, and we've got the Nursery lined up as well.  The last time we did these was great because we ended up helping the entire server by stomping Gatecrusher like five or six times.

Ahh Gatecrusher, now he was fun! Too bad he has a negative feeling about Blazing Saddles now LOL.

			Thank you Cirinde, I appreciate the extra promotion makes me want to join Blazing Saddles even more!

			Morning everyone, happy Friday.My morning was made better after the posts about how they're going to save PvP : http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/2015-01-30-future-plans-for-pvp-in-wildstar/

Morning everyone, happy Friday.
 
My morning was made better after the posts about how they're going to save PvP : http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/2015-01-30-future-plans-for-pvp-in-wildstar/

{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, it's good to see changes are incoming.  If they also do an increase in EXP gains and add in a bit of rep, people may head back to the PVP servers.
----
			
The changes to PVP look very promising, and are prettymuch what all the PVP players I know have been asking for. I hope they release all that as soon as possible, I don't want to lose anyone else cause of the current pvp scene D:.
 
In other news, Delve Deep raid progress! Last night we cleared the entire first floor of GA and the two first minibosses on the second floor in a single night! Big big big progress for us, I still remember when it took us all night just to get the first miniboss down. Now we can clear all the stuff its taken a month for us to learn without breaking a sweat (Except for Kuralak, many sweats were still broken on her). We'll be on to Phagetech Prototypes (probably, unless we for whatever reason decide to Phagemaw) on Sunday, and we'll see how that goes!
 
There was also a little RP last night that I can't really talk about :x, but suffice to say it relates to the Dusktail storyline. And then someone threw a hissy fit OOC because we didn't follow the exact storyline THEY wanted >_>. I seriously doubt we'll be RPing with them ever again.
 
For the record, my stance on this sort of thing is: Story didn't go the way you expected/intended? DEAL WITH IT. MAKE IT UP. ROLL WITH IT. PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU EXPECT.  DON'T WASTE PERFECTLY GOOD RP TIME WHINING YA BIG BABY.

I'm kind of hoping the improvements will mean Tex will come back.

Yeah there's a well known member of DD that is taking a break atm because the PVP scene is so bad, and I know several other players, including most of our officers, who love to raid and even rp but also want to pvp and  simply can't stand it. Hell I enjoyed Pvp back when I was leveling (when levleing pvp queues still popped), now its just a cluster cupcake of way too powerful people beating the snot out of everyone else.
----
			Also, confirmed by devs! Drop 4 coming on February 3rd!	
----
			
Definitely feeling the happies with the changes coming to WS. :3
 
My 11:30 student left school early, so today I get a 1 hour lunch instead of 30 minutes. Yay! I did some coriolis effect and temperature inversion demonstrations in my kids' lab today, and they were being such a handful. xD And messy... Looking forward to going home cause they kind of tired me out!
 
*leaves for a few minutes*
 
Aaaand that was a fire drill! Stupid alarm is so painful. x.x But yay, some of my students made the honor roll!
 
Anyway! I'm gonna make a real effort to log into WS this weekend. But DA:I is so appealing... BUT NO, MUST WILDSTAR! >:| My Cassian's house is coming along nicely and I really want to put some more work into my Mordesh's creepy cave. At the very least. Oh housing...!	
----
			
Good morning everyone! Don't have too much to say myself. I've been primarily focusing on housing. I'm finally finished with all the framework I can do before drop 4 though! That leaves me about... 170 pieces to figure out the fine details of each room. I may not be able to fine tune as much as I thought but that's still a nice buffer for me. On another note, I'm saddened that the space taco stand has invisible walls blocking the center, I was about to make it a hot tub.
 
A few days back I did also do some Protostar patch Crimelords of Whitevale, co-starring the Geargrinders! I haven't done anything other than Marauders/Rocktown Rollers until then, so it was pretty fun. Playing a gangster-setup with the livelier freebots/protostar is pretty hilarious due to the minor dissonance of it, especially how the freebots treat the freebot code in the adventure. And oh jeez the protostar gas room, that was a nightmare that thankfully everyone survived.
 
On another note, I really need to do more stuff Exile-side, and I plan on doing that once I'm finished with this house here. I've actually been thinking about checking out Blazing Saddles for the past few... well almost since live, but I haven't really checked out details until the many walls of info here today. Will still have to think about that.
 
Oh! And I forget if I posted this wallpaper here, I haven't done wallpaper posting in ages. (Click to open a bigger view of it)
