Good morning Community,
 
Sadly no coffee for me this morning.
I'm sick, and have to settle for some good old tea with honey to calm my throat  and suppress the coughing a bit.
Nothing like black tea ;)
 
In WildStar I've made plans to rewrite the RareTrackerEx Addon from scratch copying over the code pieces that I need, but I want to change the layout to make it clean and smaller.
Something I've been thinking of adding is automatic removal of rare's from the overview when the distance exceeds 1000m or something, cause obviously you're not going to kill it when you're running away from it :P
 
Guild is also growing each day.
Tweeting, Facebook posts, Forum posts, ingame recruitment.
Doing it all, including our members, to make sure we're seen and more people join us.
Really looking forward to deploying our new GA raiding team with new people and get a fresh go at raiding with them.
 
Lag yesterday was horrible again for us.
We did the Infestation Shiphand Expedition, which normally takes only 10 minutes.
we did it in......40...

I have even worse - it is my cat who decides how much sleep I need. When she wakes up at 4 am she simply announce it and demands feeding and opening a door. Master commands, slave obeys. But that's what I signed for when I took her from animal shelter. :3
 
And now good news, everyone*. (wall of txt ahead - be warned)
 
Yesterday my client finally sucked the last bits of Nexus into my drives and allowed me to press that "play" button. I must admit - been a bit nervous. Wasn't sure whether I see my characters again that were "put on hold" (to put it mildly) back n 2014. So game loads and...
 
First hammer between the eyes - some weird and seriously looking error, entire login screen grayed out. Bad sign. But nothing that single click couldn't handle. I just had to log in once again (despite being logged in launcher). Anyway, passed through and here it is, character screen. All of my 6 characters are there. Wheee :3 And another 6 slots free for company for a total of 12 available.
 
My Aurin Esper looks at me shyly and seductively at the same time, my Draken Stalker - on the contrary - I could read "finally" in her eyes. Mechari Engineer was not impressed at all. Cold *cupcake*. Mordesh SpellSlinger looked bored. Finds out R&R she had wasn't that entertaining. Draken Warrior was eager to bash some skulls, hasty little one. And last - Boulder Lady as I nicked her - gave me that "so, you managed to show up? Ok sweetheart, forget the past and lets move along, shall we?"
 
Boy, it was so nice to see my little harem. Next it was long time with visiting each one of them and seeing how they fare. There were issues, no denying that. Massive lag and rubber UI reactions, but everything seemed to be in place. As I just entered with my first character I got minute long list of entitlements that were granted. XP boost, rested boost, CD speed up, some satchel in a satchel in a satchel in a... you get it, right? Achievements poping here and there.
 
Funny thing - I have 30 unopened boomboxes still waiting. And I got all shinies for participating closed beta - still have costume, Piglet House, eye patch, hoverboard and few more things I forgot. Amazed how many and how much stuff is there. Need few days to dig through all of it.
 
As a final note as this post becomes longer and longer (I ask for forgiveness due to my excitement) I must say this semi-launch isn't as bad as people describe it. Ofc there are issues which render game unplayable (laaaaaa.....aaag) but I'm pleased. I got my characters back. Got my stuff and wealth back (minus minor gear issues due to changes made in the past). On top of that I got whole bunch of new stuff and I can finally suit up and hover over the mailbox with my "Chosen of the Progenitors" vanity title.
 
So, good morning and see you in the Nexus as I hope to make some friends there, as well here - on the forums. This is Commander Shep...er.. Sabaot  and I approve this Morning Coffee topic.
 
 
 
* - I think I perfected the Plague again. 
Sorry, couldn't resist.

No, cats aren't selfish. They just know who rule the world. It is us, mere humans who have exaggerated sense of entitlement. Anyway, the best summary for a cat I ever seen is:
 
(say it slowly, in an elitist of high elite manner)
 
"Butler, open the front door. I wish not to go anywhere."

*groggily paws around looking for the coffee*
 
I'm a little irritated that I got most of my wildstar play time between 4 and 6 am yesterday. After that, the servers always seemed to be going down abut ten minutes before I logged on. This morning included.
 
In better news we have made it to October, a wonderful time of silliness, and important anniversaries in our house. Looking forward to seeing the shades eve celebration, and hording ghoulish decor for housing.
 
Speaking of ghouls, I think that I will get back to leveling my medic.
 
 
The coffee thread has become more in balance so that I don't feel that I need to be the grumpy voice of the dominion, full time.

All of my game time yesterday was spent either booting back and forth from the login screen or trying to scrape together the plat to make my fusion runes. Almost there... only two runes to go!
 
We were speculating who the character with the "bad data" was that was supposedly crashing the servers.

Sipping my lunch tea I'm counting: 2 more hours of work and I'll be able to get back to Nexus. Yesterday I managed to visit all my characters and do a quick check. Still plenty of mail to sort, UI to re-scale and re-position. Lots of tweaking of entire screen to my liking before I can actually play. And I forgot how to play, what to choose (yeah, all my talents were reset).
 
I have levels but my skill was turned back to 0. Frame me, hang on the wall and admire: n00b as painted.
 
W2B Icy Veins for Wildstar.

			Same, I try and log in with a character and it just boots me back to character select. Glad it's not just me, I don't feel like writing a support ticket at this hour.

			Just had my first cup... enjoying the game.. when it's playable

I woke up and spent a couple hours looking for Discoveries before getting fed up with the zone I was in (Crimson Badlands) and leaving for Illium. At that point, the game spat me to the character selection screen and hasn't since allowed me to get back in.  
 
Allow me to use this space to say this now: I hate Discoveries. 
I'd like to see all the costumes they have to offer, but farming for them is no fun. Just running in circles forever, racing against other people who are doing the same. It wouldn't be so bad if they worked like the gathering nodes of Guild Wars 2: each player being able to interact with the object even if others have done so. But they don't work that way, so it's tiresome. It's RNG within RNG: RNG for them to spawn, some (very natural) RNG to see if you are the first person to arrive at them, and then some more RNG to see if it drops the actual thing you want. It was only two of us in the area actually farming for them, with a handful of other players doing dailies, and I think I just got about 10. In 2 hours.
Naturally, a hanful of them gave me runecrafting tokens and some random green items. The rest were buff stations.

Day 3.Good morning, coffee people!Just woke up. I am updating WildStar at the moment but I am expecting unplayable lag and the likes so playing is not on my agenda today even though I wish it would be.I found an old screenshot that I took not long before I left the game. It is my wallpaper now mostly because I find that it looks amazing. I can't post the original size because of forum restrictions, sorry.
 
 
I am working in the afternoon but after that I am free for the rest of the week and the weekend. That pretty much is terrible since all I would want to do is play WildStar but the patchy re-launch and lag problems will pretty much ruin everything if it things continue the way they are. Maybe we'll get lucky and the problems will be fixed ^^Danger ahead! Danger behind! Maybe danger sideways...	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It's the angle. ALL in the angle. Well, that tabard didn't help.
 
Funny that you mention spending all that time getting the face right. I had a text file of 4-5 beta character codes I wanted to recreate on Live. Then I accidentally deleted the file about an hour to launch. Silly me for wanting to clean up my WS folder, right? I suppose I could've used Windows Recovery and go back in time, but I didn't want to have to redownload the whole patch and what not so close to launch. Then I dug around for beta screenshots and found a couple that I could use as a base to recreate.
 
Nope. Something just isn't right about the eye socket position or whatever. I even use an old trick of placing grid lines over screenshots of both old and new, trying to get the hair and eyebrow to line up so I know how far to tweak the face. 2 hours spent trying to recreate that stupid character (there was a huge queue anyway), and still couldn't get it right.....
 
Should have just done the damn Windows Recovery. (although I swore Carbine changed the character models a tad from beta to live, even the hair was slightly different. That's what I keep telling myself.) Now I keep that jpeg file on my desktop to taunt myself every day.
 
I'm not OCD, I promise!

Good morning everyone! I actually got to play wildstar a bit last night was a lotnof fun inbetween the DCs and lag but im still so happy to be back :) after a lil while I went over to warhound to start there but I ran into an all to familiar wall. What class and race to be. 
 
Im planning on playinh dominion this time around. Im looking at probably going with stalker or warrior because I want a tanking class this time. I already have a 50 engi so I didnt wanna do that over. I also have my mechari medic over on entity as well.
 
So my question is, with a more pvp minded approach. Warrior or stalker? Mechari or drakken?	
----
			
Do you like being a sneaky *cupcake* or in-your-face *cupcake*?
 
On another note, why can't people just post in the already existing thread about the same damn problem? What's the point on making dozens upon dozens new threads saying "I can't get in"?
 
Carbine, please break that "Start New Topic" button. Please?

			Having the same problem where I just get booted back to character select when I try to log in.. Boo. My leveling partner just woke up too so I was about to finally be able to play after waiting impatiently! Rawr hiss mewwwww. That story about the cat waking you up was adorable! 	
----
			
Feeling pretty ill about WS at the moment, hoping this passes. Been working on runes for my alt as well as some add ons. Still haven't been able to *play* the game much- hopefully soon all this rune/add on nonsense will be behind me and I can return to doing fun stuff. Watching my plat just disappear has not been fun.My wife got sick and tired of all the issues yesterday, so last night when the lag issue was finally resolved, she was just too frustrated by the game to play. Hopefully tonight will be better.
 
Anticipating a rough weekened of raiding- not sure how others are doing with their gear. And I'm hoping we aren't losing people over the F2P.
 
All that being said, I know the great game is still there after all this pain is done, so looking forward to getting back to it. I plan to spend a large number of hours jumping back into the fray on Saturday! Maybe even will get some play time in tonight (but I still have to finish runing my warrior to tank and setting up auras).

As a tank? I think I would go Mechari Warrior. Warrior is in a good place, stalker is not. You want to be a big mean looking thing in pvp to get people to attack you, so I think mechari just because they are taller.

I wonder if the folks at Carbino had *any idea* what a colossal disaster this relaunch was going to be?
 
Tried until bed time last night to even get into the game, between the queue and continual server crashes I did not ever make it in.
 
I am discouraged and quite frankly, my goodwill is likely to run out by the time I get home. I can't recruit, I can't manage a guild, can't log-in, can't play when I *do* get in.

Morning everyone, where's the coffee.....Happy October....
 
I was able to make a new character last night...spellslinger named Lauren
 
I thought I couldn't create her because of the error, but when I logged back in, there she was as if by magic.  I think people just need to have a little patience.  Anyway, my friend was also able to remake his medic without issues and we were able to play for a bit before getting the connection errors.  Anyway, I now have a stalker, an esper, a spellslinger and an engineer on Exile side to level. 
 
As far as breakfast, I had a bagel with bacon.  I was so frustrated this morning that I ate bacon...,yikes....  Drove down my long ass driveway only to find that my recycle bin was a 100+ yards down the road.  Good thing it was empty or I would have had several pieces of bacon instead of just two.
 
I'm only working a half day but won't be able to play since I have to head to the financial aid office with my son to see what papers he needs for financial aid.  I'm divorced so at least he gets some, though he doesn't need it.  I made sure he had enough to cover his tuition.  Anyway, my baby is growing up.  He starts college in January.
 
Now back to the fun stuff.  I saw a lot of people in the beginning zones last night.  It was very cool after seeing  no one for so long.  I'm sure Wildstar will grow after the growing pains are over.  I just wish people would cut them a break.  I'm sure they worked their asses off to get this far.  People can be so self centered.

Once things get better, and they will (just a matter of when), I can see WildStar going places. Or maybe I am just wearing rose-tinted glasses from the good times I had before I left? Hard to say at this point. I am trying to remain positive and hopeful ; doing unrelated activities does help. Even work-related paperwork, for me, helps me forget the excitement I feel whenever WildStar comes up.
 
I feel like there is so much to explore since last I played the game. The hype is great but the level of frustration is right up there with it because of all the issues. I have never felt this divided about a game...	
----
			^ Hardly nostalgia goggles, people are overly critical because the servers are trashy, i played the game back with everyone last year and damn, before people started leaving it was just great.	
----
			Everytime I read that folks can't get in.. I Am able to get in. I have yet to have a moment where I could not get into wildstar since the relaunch.	
----
			It will get sorted. Unfortunately, I left with a lot of people awhile back and came back when they announced the ftp conversion. Still think this is a great game, just didn't have many folks to pal around with back then!	
----
			
All I did yesterday in WildStar was either attempt and fail to log in, or upon the one successful log-in, stare sadly at my character and kind of half-heartedly do the technophage daily in the Defile. Ugh. x_x This rune thing is hitting me harder than I'd thought.
 
Probably won't get much time to even attempt to log in today, though. It's parent-teacher night... and I have a psycho-parent to deal with. Oh joy.	
----
			I actually started a whole new set of characters when the free transition dropped. It is pretty cool seeing the changes they made to the story. No real major changes, but seeing how they integrated new stuff with the old stuff. Like the new gamblers ruin stuff.	
----
			
Well, in happier news, I just convinced four more friends to download the game, even with the warnings about not being able to play.
 
I think it's easier on people if they know what to expect. I send them to the WildStar Youtube channel and they just hit me back with "DUDE! THIS LOOKS AMAZING!"
 
Like, dudes ... I've only been talking this game up for almost two years. Sheesh.

^ Same happened to me with a couple of friends, i couldn't stop flaunting the f2p trailer in their face.

			I think ive decided to go the warrior route with all the stalker woes. Plus ive never been a stealth fan anyway. Now on to the next decision. Mechari or drakken? Male or female? I may eventually figure out this character by the time they fix the severs :)

Durek comes off as a warmongering meathead when you deal with the falkrin in Galeras, so he does not win any popularity contests with me either. 
There are not a lot of faction leaders in this game that I would care too much if they were killed in a gruesome way. I can't say that Myala everstar is guilty of anything, and I would feel more a sadness than satisfaction to see Avra Darkos killed. Not that she isn't a monster, but how she became one hurts my heart. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I sat here at my desk at the office and said to myself "how the hell do I spell it".  Durek is better than Deadeye and Myala is way too cutesy even for my Aurin.  I don't know much about Avra, never got that far into the game.  I just have too many games I am playing.  I'll get there.  A friend and I are going to level his medic and my spellslinger together. Honestly, we both got to housing before and there we stopped.  Housing is just so great.

Durek sends a lot of good mercs to die out of what might as well be bloodlust.
According to blackhood files Mayala is actualy a really powerful esper, and prior to her there never really was a matriarchy. She has pretty much brainwashed her entire population, but I don't play an aurin so that's none of my business.
 
As for Avra, she lost her husband to a dominion quarantine line. He went to go get help from a Dominion outpost for Avra and other Mordesh. The Dominion had been told to stop anyone from crossing the line, and they did. With bullets.  She loved him very much, and so the loss turned to vengeance. Torture, chemical weapons, explosive sabotage of not only Dominion military targets, but also civilians, is all justified in her head now. She really is a monster.

			Also heya and its finally not a billion degrees where I live so I can actually have coffee today!	
----
			Was a community moderator, who apparently either left or was fired conveniently right when moderators were needed the most :X	
----
			Welp, if the lag made people frustrated, i can't wait to see what the bots will do in-game....	
----

Cats were once worshiped as gods. They never forgot.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah. It was only a matter of time. I think they're slipping, it took three days this time.
 
Son, I am disappoint.

My boyfriend has a white cat....named You. :)

I feel sympathy for Victor Lazarin to be honest, despite single handily dooming his race, he is trying to fix things,i just wonder how much longer he has until he loses his mind searching for the cure...
 
@Alari he was searching for his wife, who was in labor.

Chillia's goodbye is a Douglas Adams quote.
 
I hope this was her choice.

Not sure I remember the relation to Pratchett there... I need to read his books in english sometime, so far I only read the German translation (simply due to the fact that it's a lot easier to obtain) of them. And, well... cats named "you" don't show up there.
----
			
Greebo, presumably!
 	
----
			YES! Greebo thought he was going to put this floofy white kitten in its place, goes to take a swipe at it and....suddenly 4 sets of claws in his nose.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I return. *drumroll*
 
What'd I miss? Slept for almost 13 hours, because clearly I'm a well adjusted human being. Bots are back, Chillia apparently has been sacked... anything else?
----
			
A safe haven! oh thank goodness.
 
Forums are worse than I had hoped for, need somewhere safe to hide.
 	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Why did you say sacked? Could she have quit?

Buster, I know I've asked this before.... but can you please obliterate the "Start New Topic" button?
 
Argh I need moar amusing tacky pics from Tex. Something like the zen garden vs warzone.

Yeah, I'm not even going back out there today. It's ... really bad.

Let's just say that you should play through the late-game and follow his plot closely. Especially into Blighthaven. If you feel sympathy for Victor now....... you will cry.

I can't have cats right now, because my apartment is too small to accomodate one <-<
 
 
 
Here's my old one though, died a few years back.

I hope our friend went to greener pastures  :wub:

Yeah, I'm going to miss Chillia for more than one reason - but the most important one is, she's the one who kept us in General Discussion and didn't boot us to Off-Topic.
 
Buster doesn't like the Coffee threads being here, so in the future we're going to have to stick to the rules more closely, or I can easily see the end of these threads in the next few days.

Might be possible to talk to the mods about it.I know for a while somebody was mass-reporting the Warrior social thread over on the Warcraft forums and they kept locking it until people send off some emails.
 
Also dear lord the QQ is strong today.Those are the people they should be banning and locking and moving and blah blah. Not community building.

I have even worse - it is my cat who decides how much sleep I need. When she wakes up at 4 am she simply announce it and demands feeding and opening a door. Master commands, slave obeys. But that's what I signed for when I took her from animal shelter. :3

Oh holy crap, man. I just laughed so hard my coworkers peeked in on me.

I'm not always as unreasonable as some might think. If anybody's got something to talk about, shoot me a PM.

			*bops Xaldorn with a rolled up newspaper* They are! Buster's keeping us entertained here, so be nice!

			Anyways, I was able to play a bit today before I had to crash from being up most of last night. Got Lightspire done and started working on the Housing plot for the upcoming Costume Contest. :D

Please tell me the name of that costume. Naunet said it was Formal something something, a cosmic reward, but I couldn't find it in my account inventory. Actually I don't even know how to tell what my cosmic points are at. A friend who played for 3 months less than I did had the same Tier 4.... that can't be right.
----
			US servers were running fine as far as I know...so I hopped into veteran Fragment Zero and got to the final part but couldn't reach the end before the emergency maintenance. Lesson learned: wait for stability before doing anything remotely related to dungeons.Bright side? Progress! The WildStar Team is getting somewhere.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You need 14k points into Tier 5 Cosmic. *checks* 4k away *lesigh*.
 
Hey folks!
 
After the login shenanigans of last night I was finally able to jump in and work on my runes.  Finally getting that chore done made me feel a whole lot better.  The costs associated with it are another topic entirely :angry:  At least I won't suck too bad.  I should give Infestation a test run to see how it goes.
 
While Entity was having heartburn I logged into my Dommie alt on Warhound and queued up for her PvP bracket (15-30 ish).  Got a Walatiki after a few minutes.  Even though we got stomped she made 60% of her level, 213 prestige and 4 omnibits *cackles*  I now know how she's gonna level up ('cause screw open world)

So we raided yesterday and that was quite fun. Exciting to have to learn Kuralak the proper way - also kind of deadly, even though we're in SD gear. Despite the lost world server problem many times over (after reforming the raid by having to type in each raider's name three times, I told everyone to /join on me instead) and major lag from loot, we did pretty well! Beat up Phage Maw, looking to clean up GA tonight lag gods willing, and have several raiders with their GA class sets before we dive back into DS.
 
Interested to see how SD is with the fight changes and ideally nerf to the fight. Also curious to see how our beefed up DPS deals with it, too.
 
Also: really sad to hear that Chillia is leaving Carbine, but hoping to see her post 'round these parts since she still seems to play!

I did vet protogames yesterday and got a new first boss! I thought I had seen all of the different options but I guess not. It was pretty cool because I had to work with the other 50s (a lot new for the f2p launch) to figure out what we were doing. Unfortunately the lag ended up beating us, but we did figure out that you jump over the telegraphs and drag energy orbs over to the boss to break it's shield. 
 
All in all pretty fun.

			I.. haven't played a single wildstar dungeon yet. Despite playing the game for about four months or so in total :X Well, not quite correct, my guild and I tried to do that prison break dungeon (the very first one) back after release... but we were only three, so we didn't get very far.

If I was you all I'd cut down on the Haven chatter. 
Part of the reason this thread got moved last time was to make us spread our positivity outside coffee thread. Which ended up in a lot less positivity towards carbine from a lot of folks. I don't want that BS happening again.
 
Edit. and don't try to contradict me, I still have the emails from the mods and their boss.

Oh riot in the void! I love that adventure it's a lot of fun.
 
I wouldnt worry about it, It took me a loooonnnnggg time to do my first dungeon. But after you rip the bandaid off it becomes easier to do dungeons in pugs and stuff. For a lot of my time I would just do adventures via the LFM channel xD that and world bosses

Looking forward to returning to this wonderful game as soon as the server kinks are worked out. Welcome to all new and returning players! 
 
Let's all send Carbine engineers some good vibes and psychic (caffeinated) cookies so that they may vanquish the lag monster!
 
Peace.

So, from the looks of it, people aren't dealing with 'the issues' all that well. >_>;
 
Admittedly, I'm a bit sad I couldn't pop in the other day; but after being through countless major patches/expansions in other games I just did what I always do: grab my mail, move my characters to a safe spot, and find some good books. I am thinking All the Presidents' Bankers: Alliances that Drive American Power should be good, and tie me over for at least a few days! After recently finishing Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients, I felt like something a bit more in the political-economic vein.
 
The concert I went to on Tuesday night was fantastic though! Allie X was amazing, and I got to meet her briefly at the end of her show. So outside of no Wildstar, it's been a good week.
 
Glad to enjoy some 'morning' coffee today. :)

I know Dea, but having tackled some of these threads in the past there is very little one can say that does not get brushed off as white knighting. Sometimes they really do have a legitimate issue, but are phrasing it in a way that is so insulting that it takes a bit of time to translate. 
 
When we can't really log in, I think that being here is about as much as I can really do for the community.

			I seriously want a glimpse of the people going absolutely ballistic because they can't play a game right away's lives. They have to be just as pleasant in person.Normally I find the whining entertaining but I had enough of it while also dealing with a massive issue in another game and it's pretty much swamped every place to talk about this game right now. Like I just started playing and have a sub and at most I'm just mildly annoyed.Got stuck in limbo trying to log in so I'ma probably just do some blogging before heading off to work. I'd imagine everything will be smoother by the evening. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯That and super late hours means less people on NA.

Evening coffee, now, though might prefer a Lemonade Heightened With Port, but in a storm, et cetera.
 
Login is now hanging on "retrieving characters" and eventually disconnecting, which is a first for me since this ftp re-launch.  I'd been lucky about the hour, until now, it seems.  Pity.  But there's plenty to do elsewhere.  Actually, I suppose the "in a storm" line is not all metaphor.  There's quite a bit of water outside those windows.  And I need not be out in it.  That's good news.  Just finished reading bed-time stories with our daughter.  A nice way to continue my evening.
