Mmm. Mockingly evil breakfast of yogurty doom.
 
Okay, so I remembered this game has things like skills and AMPs and that sometimes when you leave for a while, the game resets all those things when you're not looking. So ... uh ... just so you know ... don't try to do the daily zones without like - turning those things on. You're gonna have a bad time, m'kay. Instead of continuing to embarrass myself, I just watched some Wildstar videos and read some info on class builds. Sheesh. I was terrible at this game before, but now I'm almost lost.
 
Didn't get a lot of time in last night, though. The wife finally came home from the hospital. Diabetic ketoacidosis took her out for almost a week. It was rough, but all is well now. She is resting peacefully at home and her brand new, shiny mechanical pancreas arrives in the mail today.
 
As for me, I need the weekend to get here. Gonna put in some time re-learning everything and maybe trying out some of those group shiphands and training missions. Lord knows I need the training.
 
Have a great day, party people!

Just waiting for the weekend. 
 
Vunne's mordesh got into the guild last night and ran the first protostar dungeon with a few guildies. She seemed to be having fun, though she really wanted that skull from the last boss on her wall. #justdrakenstuff   
 
I have no idea what I am doing in game this week.

I know how you feel, brother.  Hope your wife is feeling a lot better.  Give her my best.
 
I haven't had much time to play this week... in fact I haven't had any time to play this week.  In fact, I won't have any time to play from now on if all continues as it is.  We're coming under the gun trying to pack stuff up and get it ready to go.  Tonight is going to be entirely packing (except the part where we handle bills).  Tomorrow is going to be much the same.  Saturday, we'll be moving, and hopefully Sunday we'll be unpacked enough to play.
 
I really miss playing, though.

{| class="blockquote"
Well, keep us posted. I'm gonna really start trying to get to know everyone who's joined in my absence. It's weird seeing people log in and have no idea who they are.  :blink:
 
I think a lot of that is the renaming that took place. I missed all that, so except for Khandi (who is nice enough to list her alts in her sig), I dunno who most of you guys and gals are.
----
			
It will be nice when real life will let us all get back to playing again. Not sure when that is going to be.
 
Being that I have sort of a captive audiance, I was wondering if I could borrow some opinions? 
 
Vunnu is still working on getting the look of her mordesh down, and so I would like some opinions that aren't mine as to which face matches the backstory better.
 
It;s not my story so I'm not going to go into details. Rich snobby mordesh, married a Cassian lord before the fall of grismara. He is dead by the way, the fall was about 90 years ago from what I gather. 
 
Face one
 
 
 
Or face two?
 
 
 
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the richest looking of them all? 	
----
			Face one. :mellow:	
----
			Yeah, definitely face one.  That one looks a lot more "unamused".

Morning :)
 
Tex, there are literally 20-30 new people in the guild over the last few weeks. About half maybe a little more are new players! Cirinde is a recruiting machine! The rest of us pick people up as we go because Blazing Saddles is all over the place and we try to be as helpful as we can be to the new people.
 
Don't worry about your skills either! It's like riding a bicycle: You fall down a few times then your mind goes *cupcake* enough already! And voila! no more skinned knees!
 
In Wildstar news: I'm still having to spend hours every week to farm cloth and plants to do my dailies :( even with 108K in crafting vouchers in the bank, its not enough to get more than 5 new patterns.
 
Other than that I have been mentoring guildies through quests to help them level. I have managed to get a few tours of CB and NW in but I haven't done any of the daily VSH's or adventures.
 
Here's hoping this weekend I can power out some of the stuff I've been missing :)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm hoping Parth and I will be on at some point either on Saturday or Sunday, which should mean we've got a tank and healer on standby if we do.

{| class="blockquote"
As always, weekends are best for me as far as "extended butt time" goes. Now that things are calmed down at home, I will double down on getting back up to speed.
 
Y'all know I've never ran any group PVE content except the first part of Stormtalon, way back in Closed Beta? I always just solo'd, did dailies and played the low-end battlegrounds.

{| class="blockquote"
I'm the same way Tex.
 
I've never felt that I needed to 'rush to cap'. Dungeons are fun and all that but I really, REALLY love the adventures and shiphands! The scenery is just so awesome in Wildstar that I like to poke around everywhere and climb up on things just to admire the view :wub:
I also love to quest and level people up :) Maybe we can do some world bosses in the low areas, like Kragger and Grendy and DoomThorn. Try to froth up the lowbies :D

Jack and I would be happy to help you through some of those this weekend! We... kind of have every single vet adventure and vet dungeon daily possible in our questlog, just stacked up over the past week or two we haven't been able to do them. XD

{| class="blockquote"
Oh it's not your fault! Just, our game time lately, when it happens, typically involves knocking out the daily shiphand and then promptly queuing for battlegrounds. XD I appreciate that Carbine lets us stack up the dailies, though. Feels like less of a waste to not do them!
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, sorry.  I haven't been around to help people get those cleared off. >.>

I joined about 3 months ago. I started out Dominion with another guild on a different server, then we all went Exile when mega-servers hit. Guild pretty much died, so I joined Blazing Saddles. I knew them from this thread, actually. Even though I don't really RP, it was the best decision I've made. :wub: my guild.
 
 
RL comes first. Take care of what you need to, then come back. We will be here.
 
I have been slacking on helping with groups lately. Having a migraine that turned out to last for 4 days really is draining. The only thing I have been doing this week is working on Yalanna's house. Hopefully I will be back to 'normal' in a few days.

useless for Raiders.
Joe mentions "gearing up an off spec or alt" but i think people at GA or DS level will simply get carried by their guild right into the thick of it and won't spend time getting the best "pre-raid gear".
and at worst if it is only for an off spec, eventually when most people have the trash loot in GA it will go to off specs.
 
a bit like the glory currency was rather useless for raiders.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I don't think raiders are their target audience for this change.  There's going to be a boss-in-a-box raid for raiders.

by having to develop content for different level of players, or content that basically doesn't have reason to be played by some and/or is behind a brick wall for others.
it becomes very demanding on the development team.
 
but i agree with what you said.
raiders do get something for a 3 months wait. i'm just wondering if its enough to avoid the current end game attrition.

			In lighter news, I have begun bugging my friends who joined me at Launch to come back and see the improvements. So far, they haven't had anything bad to say. I'll keep y'all posted if anyone takes me up on the offer.

They've got a guild!  In fact, most should still be in the guild.  I haven't dropped anyone with two names because I don't trust the "last seen" column on the guild pane.  According to that, I've played a character, slept for 96 hours, and then logged back in what I thought was the next day.

{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, brother ... none of these guys and gals lasted more than launch month, so they would have all been "single namers."
 
I mean, no big deal. I can invite, right? If not, I can bug someone to make it so I *can* invite!  :lol:
 
And yeah, in the last twenty minutes, at least four people have said they'd hop back in and check it out. SUCCESS!

You know that promise I made, I kept it!  Not only are you able to invite (all members are) but you're still an officer and can kick them up into the Blooded rank to give them bank access.

{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, I warned the RPers that the Saddles they left isn't thematically the same, but I don't really think that's going to break anyone's brain.
 
And make that five now. My original co-guild leader just responded. He's also gonna come back!
----
			
Honestly, I haven't given any thought to how Tex might fit into the revised Saddles. I was never one for vigilante justice - always the "straight and narrow path" for him.
 
Now, Lola and my other Alts (who all need to be reinvited now that they have names), they wouldn't care. Tex though ... well. He's got a mind of his own and his own way of doing things.

Hey, that "Houngan" on Seeger's name isn't his first name, it's his title.  He's got a day job.   :lol:

{| class="blockquote"
And Tex's is Sheriff. I guess he could sheriff in the day and merc at night, but that just doesn't seem likely. Not really sure how it will go, but it has RP opportunity written all over it.
