So its still very cold here, and since the morning is almost past, I give you to warm yourself instead a huge bowl of pho. 
 
 
I mean, who doesn't like Pho, its warm, full of delicious things, and all around tasty. I especially like when I can get authentic pho with beef balls in it. 
 
For the most part, it seems like a lot of threads still going are the same ones from yesterday, but I feel like keeping the coffee thread going is a important task. 
 
So I guess a discussion topic... What additional hobbies would you like to see included in future Wildstar updates. So far, farming is really the only one, but its a right-click to plant attack to harvest and very simple. 
 
I know they have talked about adding fishing as well. 
 
Personally, I'd like to see hoverboard racer added as a hobby. It would have tracks, much like the event, all around the world in parts of Nexus. Completing timed runs would fill up some kind of hobby xp bar (think contracts bar) that would give you some kind of reward such as items to increase speed/jump on hoverboard tracks. You could also earn hobby talent points (like profession and cooking) that  could be used to buy hoverboard racing upgrades that give you bonuses when doing the tracks. 
 
Edit: for those of you who insist on coffee in the coffee thread

But if I ~had~ to choose, a racing track minigame would probably be best suited WS's current set-up. Especially if they could integrate housing somehow.

I'm a bit torn on your topic. On one hand I like side- or sub- content as an idea, and fishing/racetracks could be popular. But I also feel like Carbine have missed the boat on this kind of thing— from my point of view, you have it at launch or you don't have it at all. I can't imaigne Carbine has the time required to conceptualize/develop/implement this kind of thing when there are way bigger fish to fry. And I honestly don't think they'll ever have the time unless they can somehow get it right the first time, and deliver it with a large content pack like an expansion.
 
If they were to add fishing with the current lack of content and various other problems, I'd have to raise my hands to the sky and give up all hope. :P  I don't believe MMOs get the benefit of minigames past the launch period.

It's still a good topic, coming up with concepts is fun and can spark interesting conversations. I'm just very skeptical about Carbine adding minigames any time over the next 2-3 years. When I saw fishing was on their 'to do' list I was like, uhh, not gonna happen. 
 
Who knows though. Lots of people enjoyed fishing in WoW, whereas I thought it was incredibly boring. So it can be hard to know what's worth the time investment.

Morning! . . . ish.
 
If they were going to add a new hobby, I'd love for it to be about building and modifying vehicles (think mechanic).  It could branch out into hoverboards, ground vehicles, small spacecrafts (see below) and flair, and the new flair could grant abilities while mounted.
 
If they put in a minigame, I'd want me some spaceship dogfighting.  Buy or build a ship, and you could dock it on your faction's arkship and engage in orbital defense of Nexus!  They could do it in PvE (fight off waves of invading ikthians and marauders and so forth) and PvP (fight the other faction's attempts to blockade the planet or run said blockade).

			Thanks, now I want Pho with some hot sauce....oh so good.

I mentioned the Maelstrom grapply-hook mechanic in another thread.  Something like hide-n-seek with those (with swing points!).  Heck, give us that as a toy and swingpoints we could add to our houses.  I'll bet players would come up with a good half dozen different things to do with them.

			Linked recently, but still fun to watch :)

I'm torn about this idea. On one hand, it would be great fun to play hide-n-seek with grapply hooks. On the other hand, I'm fearful we'd lose half our raid team to that activity . . .

Wow, I didn't know it was literally literal. Guess I'll just stick with cooked beef. :lol:
 
The sawtooth herb is a must though!

{| class="blockquote"
its hard to find good Pho with all the fixins (tripe, those little beef balls made of testicle meat, shin meat, cooked and raw round steak).
----
			
Restaurant near here is named "What the Pho?" and is our go to place for Pho. I think it's good, but honestly we probably go there for the name.
 
My wife and I usually go there before Sunday night raids.
 
In Wildstar.

Good evening!
I just poured myself last coffee that was left in pot. I'm back to my old job after new years and it's ok :) 
 
As for hobbies, I don't know :P I would like hoverboard races to be something regular, it was extremely fun =)
For fishing, it would be interesting if you could add a fishing pool to your house, and that you can decide on only one fish to live in that one... and add so you can visit other peoples houses in order to be able to fish other kind of fish :) It would work a bit like housing quests during shades eve and winter event, but be a regular thing :)

The weirdest food ive had is when I went to one of those places where you get a bowl and its like a buffet only its full of the weird and wonderful stuff and at the end there is a cook who well cooks it for you funnily enough and then gets someone to drop it off at your table. I had kangaroo balls which isn't as bad as it sounds, before anyone asks Skippy isnt running around with a higher pitched voice and renamed Skippette, it is just kangaroo meat rolled into balls. 
 
It was really wasted on me because it just tasted like normal meat balls and any of the other weird and wonderful stuff just tastes like Chicken so im better off just sticking to those as its alot cheaper. 
 
On the hobby game front I would love to see more hoverboard racing as that was really fun and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope they don't add fishing as other than Archeage no other game has managed to make it remotely exciting and even in Archeage it wasn't mega fun but alot better than cast and click when the float goes down.  Maybe its because im not an avid fisher in real life and the fishing I have done you could hear me a mile away with the amount of clinking my fishing bag done with the cans of beer in it.

It snowed here this morning (a rare sight in Nashville) so I'm enjoying my hot coffee and electric blanket :). I'm lucky in that I mostly work from home right now and didn't have to leave the apartment today :p.
 
I would like to see cooking revamped and maybe more interesting farming, too. I think it would be nice to get better harvests/more seeds if, say, you water your plants or add fertilizer. I also miss hoverboard races! As for new stuff, how about pet related activities? Or a new profession that specializes in making costume items (maybe dyes, too)?

I disagree completely. MMOs are always adding new things to do; this is one of the beauties of the game genre. Look at WoW with its Moonfire Faire (the old one and the revamp) and pet battles. Or Rift that added fishing later on, plus IAs and Chronicles, and frequent mini events. Or FFXIV which added the Golden Saucer and all the side ventures incorporated into that.
 
I'd love fishing in WS, in large part because I know it'd probably end up being ridiculous. But I also wouldn't mind seeing more mini-game-esque type activities like the kinds you find in Moonfire Faire or the Golden Saucer. Some sort of ship-building space minigame could be really fun.

			Not once did I pretend. You asserted that you either have things at launch or you don't have it at all. I said that is simply not the case.
