Migas Caseras con Chorizo y Queso Fresco para desayuna!
 
Wow, what a wonderful weekend in WildStar. I don't know about the EU side of the pond, but these last couple of days on Entity have been downright bustling with activity. It's really starting to look like an MMO server again! Tons of new guildies, chat is abuzz and people are everywhere!
 
But out of all the chatter, shiphands, dailies, crafting and hobnobbing I took part in, the one thing that stood out in my mind was standing around Thayd last night with some guildies and comparing costumes. Just when I thought I'd seen it all, these folks pull some looks that just amazed me. There are some really creative ways to piece together some really great looks.
 
Anyway, let's talk costuming. Post some screenies, post some ideas. Let's see what you've got!
 
Here's a crappy one of Sharice, just after she picked up her Roan-Wranglers hat last night. I was tired and just wanted a shot of it.   :P	
----
			She looks fabulous! I am not sure about costumes yet but I did hit 14 so I have that going for me.	
----
			
It's 4:21 right now... I've got my baby asleep in my lap, and I'm desperately trying to work through an extremely lagged system (I work direct sales and there's a big sale today lol) to get one last order in before getting back in bed. It's been 90 minutes and the first two orders went ok, now I want to put MY order in and it's being insane lol.
 
I don't have any pics of my mains costumes, but I really like all of them. I really should take pics lol!

Thanks! 
 
I have a couple other "looks" that I'll snap pix of tonight and post. I got stopped this weekend while working on one of them, and the guy asked me where I got it.  :lol:  Told him I made it. So I made him one, too. The Medium armor "Walatiki Battle Harness" makes a damn fine dress coat for a formal or military occasion!

Saturday was good for WildStar, I tanked vet War of the Wilds with Normal Moo and got a few levels on my Spellslinger, Magic Moo.
 
Sunday was a bust for WildStar thanks to Comcast losing service for the entire day thanks to a rain storm... Still not up but that's what phones are for these days! We spent the day at the beach with friends, grilling food and baking ourselves in the sun. Not a bad alternative to staying inside all day!
 
Hopefully I'll get a text from comcast today telling me that my wildly overpriced Internet is back on line and I can keep working on rep/attunement for Normal Moo and levels for Magic Moo. On a side note, if you know any groups that want to run with a sarcastic guy who's actually pretty good at WildStar, send them my way... Still looking for people to run with since my gaming community pulled out.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
This weekend was a blast! Friday night I spent doing Vet Shiphands, dailies, and some other things. Logged off early due to being in a bad mood and tired.
 
Saturday was an all day affair. It was rainy and yucky out, so I spent my day on Nexus. :) I have no idea what I exactly did all day. Vet Shiphands, dailies, talking to guildies, helping lower level guildies and other players, inviting new people to the guild, etc. The day was a blur of activity and so much fun!
 
Sunday was spending 2 hours giving a tour of my house plots (Spouse and Yalanna) to a couple of guildies, looking at their 4 houses to get/give ideas, Vet Shiphands, dailies, costume sharing/staring in Thayd, and redoing a plug on my house. I took out the crafting kiosk and put in a zen pond. It goes so much better with the theme I have and I don't use the crafting kiosk anymore. I am usually in Thayd when I craft and with the new renown vendor, I don't need the vendor, that is with the kiosk, anymore.
 
I don't have any pictures of my costumes. I will have to take a couple and post later tonight when I get home from work. I have 6 different looks, from going to a beach party, to a masquerade ball, to ass kicking pixels. :D

YAY It's Monday! 
 
I got the dreaded quest over the weekend on my baby medic.. 
 
"Venture into Whitevale!" 
 
... I don't particularly like Whitevale, at all. Nope. No. No thanks! 
 
Yuck.

Well, we had a great weekend- bounced back in a big way from our previous raid weekend. Absolutely killed the first 4 bosses in GA and spent a good chunk of time on convergence.
 
It's looking like increasingly the weekday raiding isn't going to happen. Too many of our current members just prefer to raid weekends (makes since, since we ARE <Weekend Raiding>!)
 
I think we're going to end up adding a second weekend raiding group instead- lol.
 
We probably will organize another mid-week pug to get people x-89 unlocks though. That seemed to go over well and help a lot of people out :D
 
As far as costumes go, I'll have to see if I can find some screenshots when I get home :)	
----
			
Okay, what did I do this weekend?
 
-Ran a normal SSM with a lot of guildies, almost all of whom were doing it for the first time.  It went really well!  For first timers, I think we wiped a few times on the titan miniboss while we got ourselves in order, then a few times on Selene.  I ended up soloing Selene from about 25% on, in my vet dungeon gear (between about ilevels 55 and 61).  Yeah, I felt awesome!
 
-Ran Vet Shiphands both days so I could make enough money to rune the gear I got from the SSM run.  That's always a lot of fun!
 
-Ran a vet STL with a mostly guild group.  We made it straight to Stormtalon, one-shotting all the way, and then we started learning Stormtalon mechanics (myself and BDS's Iron Ore were the only ones who had seen vet Stormtalon before, so learning happens).  Eventually Ore and one of our members left, so we pulled in Absolute from BDS and Danrin for his first ever experience in any dungeon!  Welcome to dungeons, Danrin!  He got to experience the love of Stormtalon on Vet.  He hung in there though.  We got him down.
 
-Between STL and Shiphands, I was hanging out in Defile and saw a handful of Dominion trying to run the Siege event.  They didn't seem to have a tank, so even though I didn't have a healer, I decided to tank for them.  We didn't have enough to complete it, but we made it through the four-miniboss stage.  At least the Dommies are down for a good time!
 
-Ran dailies... because I haven't done enough of that lately (hence why I'm spam running VSHs for cash).
 
It was a great weekend!  Then I got back on the forums today and found out they're putting Zero to Fifty on hiatus.  No more TL;DR....  What a way to start a Monday...  I'll miss the stream.
 
Also, I do have a great pic of my battle outfit!  Unfortunately, I was riding a taxi when I took it....

Weekend was busy, not a lot of anything you want to do after 8 hours of driving per day. The weather was nice, though slightly cold.
Fate's landing in Illium is getting pretty busy in the late hours. Around midnight east you can find around a little over a hundred people. I haven't been to Thayd at that hour so I can really say if that is significant. Primarily it is raiding night that causes the big up surges in visible player pop.
 
Not sure what Vunnu is up to as far as leveling, I am waiting to see Xvira's schedule so I can run leveling with her. 
 
Be safe, have fun, and I will see you on nexus.

Cirinde, I'm on my phone right and can't quote and snip like I want but this is a response to you.
 
I'm playing on Exile side right now. Got a Lv 50 Warrior geared for tanking and a Spellslinger that I'm leveling for healing.
 
I also have a Lv 50 Esper and Lv 50 Stalker on Dominion side from back when Pax had a guild there. I'd rather play on my Exiles though.
 
As far as what I'm looking for, it's everything through vet dungeons. I'd like to raid but with my irregular play times I can't be a reliable member of that group... I could sub in from the bench just fine though. I'm sure some of you remember me from Evindra but I don't really RP. So just an active group of people who likes to run a variety of content and occasionally has a raid spot that I could jump into.
 
I'm currently in a strange point in my life where my work is very easy and I've finished my graduate degrees so I've got a fair bit of game time, it just isn't the same time each evening. In about 5 months or so I expect to be extremely busy during the day again but I'll still have the evenings.
 
Anyway. Not trying to derail this thread! (Mea Culpa, Chillia!)
 
Edit: I'm on the North 'Murica server, pve.

			It was a beautiful weekend outside for me, took a big walk around the city and really enjoyed spring weather before it turns hot, muggy, and miserable. Didn't play friday (celebrating a new job), but did get in a GA clear with the guild on Saturday. Then Sunday was tipsy SSM, took a bit longer than usual, but was tons of fun. Looking forward to getting back into the flow of things, this weekend was a big disruption.

Oooh, tipsy pixel killing is the best! Usually that's me on Friday nights. LOL Gaming and wine drinking does mix, with the right kind of people to play with. :P

Alas I can't post any screenshots from work. Haven't made any changes to Antimony's costumes in a while though... really need more wardrobe slots to be able to do that. xD
 
I'm pretty happy with what I accomplished in WildStar over the weekend though. Derped around on my engineer alt a good chunk of time. FINALLY got a group for Hycrest to get that quest out of my dang log... now just need to do that for STL, WotW, and TR... Meanwhile also finished the two Biodomes on her, so it'll be on to the moon itself next time I log in.
 
On another note YAY FINALLY DID VETERAN DUNGEONS! So much more fun than snoozefest veteran adventures. xD The husband and I first ended up queueing for vet KV, after unsuccessfully trying to get a guild group going, but we got lucky and had some wonderfully friendly randoms. One-shot all the bosses and even got a silver medal. :) And I got some new gloves! That one wasn't all that difficult but still fun. We hadn't quite sated our thirst, though, so we tried again to rope some guildies into another dungeon and eventually put together an STL group. I'm not proud of my stupid moments on the last boss (and officially despise Fade Out even more than I had previously xD) but I am glad we cleared it!
 
The oooonnnnly thing niggling at the back of my mind was a mild disappointment that the veteran dungeons are just the normal dungeons but kicked up a notch. Woulda been nice to see some entirely new encounters (a la hardmodes in FFXIV). But ah well. They were still quite fun! Cemented in my mind that healing in WS is the first game to come close to the fun of healing in TERA. :3 Yay.	
----
			Chillia, you're not alone! I very rarely drink... Most evenings I've just got my fizzy water. I prefer staying hydrated while gaming haha. I don't even know when the last time I had beer while gaming was... maybe some time in 2013, which I only remember because I was living out in the boonies trying a canned IPA from a local brewery.

Finally back!
Been on a LARP the whole weekend, and wrote the summary on my blog.
Still need to make one correction in it, but waiting for feedback.
I've slept till 12:00 today, simply due the lack of sleep over the weekend.......
 
But it was worth it!
Now trying to catch up on everything WildStar related :D	
----
			I think the correct phrase is "on a lark"... Oh, I see what you did there.  :D	
----
			
I didn't get to play/stream as much as I wanted to this weekend. I caught my crafting up a bit, started Wilderrun, and hit 37 on my medic. Still have to do the first Drusera quest... I'm so excited. The Drusera line is so great. They did a wonderful job with that story. I'm kind of disappointed that I'm through with Farside. That zone doesn't last long enough...
 
Most of my weekend was consumed by dodging weather and doing stuff around the house. I became very well versed in using a tiller. I'm starting my own small vegetable garden and man is that some work... The worst is behind me now though. I've never used a tiller before because my experience farming was always at my grandfathers with his tractor. :P I also moved my chickens to their temporary home until I can finish building their chicken house/barn and did some general cleaning around the outside of the house.

			What kind of vegetables are you growing? I'm moving this weekend and hope to get some planters to make a kind of nice little vegetable garden. I think tomatoes, several kinds of chiles, cucumbers, and herbs will be my priority. Also some glowmelon if I can find it. 	
----
			
Good morning, everyone! The last few days have been pretty eventful for me. The weekend is more or less my "get weekly quest done" timeframe, so I've done a bunch of dungeons. Got to help fellow guildies get some more dungeoning done, and I also managed to attune my engineer alt to the Genetic Archives! Dunno if I'm gonna do anything with that yet, but it's nice to have the option. I just need to fine-tune my bolt caster attack plan.
 
I also got some RPing done for once! Pretty fun and simple stuff, although I had to cut it short last night due to morning shift.
 
Oh yeah, and then raid went pretty well, mostly. Got another Ohmna kill and started working on System Daemons again! We... may need more gear for that, but at least we're getting the mechanics mostly pinned!
 
Speaking of raid (And costumes!) this is what I generally use during them:
It doubles as a Sentai/Power Ranger costume.	
----
			
So far, I have tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, green beans, peas, corn, bell peppers, and will be getting some watermelon and cantaloupe. (I love fruit) Also have an orange tree, grapefruit tree, plum trees, a pecan tree, blueberry bushes, and grape vines. We have wild blackberries everywhere here too.
 
Wish it were as easy as farming in WildStar. :P

			What you mean you don't just click on the ground with a seed, wait 45 minutes and whack the plant with a stick?

I looove costuming.  Specifically I like trying to make my girls look good without being trashy.  Surprisingly I've gotten some good looks for my two guys so those shots will be up Soon™.  I keep meaning to upload some new costume shots buuuuut... After an image hoster I've used years ago dropped their 'free' plan I changed to using my own domain.  Unfortunately it's getting to the point where it needs album management so something for the round 'tuit file.
 
Tried Vet KV on Saturday but unfortunately ran out of time before I had to go fetch dinner.  Did get home in time to hit the NBD Gala.  Had I known that I was going to have the evening free I would have entered.  Oh well.  Spent last night working on Vet SSM.  Got reeeeal close to getting Skash down but it was getting late so we broke for another day.  I think we've got a much better feel for the chimes portion of Shallaos' fight so we should get past her without too much trouble next time.
 
Got my engineer to 25 (hoverboard whooo!) but more importantly he can now harvest the mining nodes which are the only resource nodes that have a minimum level requirement and have been the only resource nodes that have been so infected for months with nary a peep of explanation from CRB other than so-sad-too-bad and a thread lock.
 
I also managed to get my warrior to 20 specifically so he could wear a particular set.  It's a hard life costuming for heavy armor wearers (D5 should correct that :wub: ).  I discovered a couple things.  I like Galeras especially since you can get close to the Focus of Air and can get a sense of scale from it (huge!).  I think my ire over Durek getting away with being stupid really soured me on an otherwise well done area.  Second, either warrior changed enough that it's not as bad as I remember or me finally getting past 15 got into some more interesting rotations.  Now I have a conundrum, do I continue with the engineer, the warrior or the medic I had originally settled on? :wacko:

			I think you mean Durek being awesome. I for one am glad we wrecked those stupid falkrin. I always enjoy meting vengeance on them with the lopp.

On another note, I finally installed Runemaster over the weekend... it's gonna take some getting used to. Did watch the little video tutorial, but the sheer number of things is kind of overwhelming. xD I think I know what rune sets I'm supposed to go for as a healer? 12-set recovery, 12-set fusion gorge, and... I'm not sure how much of the synapse I need? Been throwing in Team Player or Haste runes when the options suck. Though is it better to rune for crit to try and work for one of the set milestones or pick a different rune that would give me insight/support power... that I don't know.
 
I think the thing that most daunts me about runing, though - and what is making me hesitate over whether I should just go full out with set runes in all my gear or just put the set runes in good pieces as I get them while leaving the raw stat runes in my older gear - is what would happen when one gets a new piece of gear. The way it looks, getting a new piece of gear could mean you have to change all your freaking runes?? @.@ Considering it costs gold to even remove a rune (wtf on that), that just seems so very... expensive. And overwhelming in terms of figuring things out. xD

			oh yea, you can also rune crystallize (hp) or logic bomb (shields), depending on your preference to 8/20. Gives extra survivability and a support power slot where you could normally only do insight (water slot).

I think I have... somewhere around 1200 insight. Don't really have the plat for the thing needed to reroll rune slots, so I've just been working with what the RNG gods give me. Do you think it would be better to eschew set runes if it wouldn't be possible to rune insight/support power in a slot when using one of those runes? At least until I hit the soft caps?
 
Why do you not have the regen set? Or, it sounds like you're a medic, so maybe it's different for you. I play esper, so I dunno. xD

We definitely were going to fight the falkrin at some point because as you point out they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. But military commanders are supposed to pick and choose their battles. The last thing you do is to provoke another faction into conflict if you're already fighting one or more. At least not without jeopardizing your career, your life or your freedom.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
So maybe I was being a little careless when I ran through the Falkrin quests, but basically they've been killing anyone, Dominion or Exile, that they get their hands on well before Durek ever bombs them. Am I mistaken here? They're also killing neutral factions like the Lopp, which of course brings the limitless wrath of Yatish down on their feathery heads.
 
Edit: sorry. There was one person they didn't kill, which was the Mechari ambassador that they caught and dismembered... which is really more because the Mechari are basically crystals in prosthetic bodies.
----
			
That entire episode made me loathe Durek and love Sgt. Kara even more.
 
Up until then, Durek is just Mr. Badass Rockman, out to save his people and give the Dominion a kick in the pants.
 
But the Falkrin incident, especially toppling the sacred statue of their god, just made me realize he's a big, dumb jock and that Sgt. Kara is the real brains of the Free Companies.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
We still get pretty ticked off when dismembered. 
None of the eldan servant races, Osun, Falkrin, Skeech, are friendly to the Dominion or Exiles. It just seemed a little odd to go in and start wrecking the place not knowing much about them.

Not technically. They seemed far more concerned with their religious relics. The Falkrin in Galeras were killing people who were approaching a shrine they erected (but there were crops there, so they weren't killing the farmer during planting). The "war" only kicked off when Durek called in an artillery mission on one of their holy sites.

Good mor--afternoon, everyone! :D
 
I got to play a little bit this weekend! *fireworks*
 
It wasn't a ton, but I did get to start a new dommie. :) I made a Mechari Engineer and got her to level 7. It wasn't much, but it was good to get back into things again. :) The next time I get to play, I want to try the new shiphand. I've done it on Veteran right after the drop came out, but I haven't done it at level 6ish, yet. So we'll see how that goes. ;) I do like Engineer now, which is a big switch from how I felt about them at launch. I guess my tastes changed a bit, or I just finally got the hang of it. But her name is Arivx Severin for anyone here who plays Dominion :) (*pokes Arachnaas*)
 
I do think that since I don't have a ton of time to play these days, I'll still find myself logging in on Xvira and just messing around for about an hour more often, but I definitely do want to level this character when I can. :D
 
Anyways, hopefully everyone had a good weekend in WildStar! Time to start the week. :P

There is a note that Axis Pheydra recently found a mechari forge above nexus with tons of unawoken mechari.

Was that a piece of IG lore? I find it rather odd that outside of some of the stuff related to Tresayne Toria they are unmentioned in the datacubes. The Pell have several mentions as research assistants.
----
			I guess this is the best place to start asking.  Are there any Exile guilds on Entity that are billed as PVP-first?  I know they're rarer these days and they aren't as vocal.  Anyone know of one?	
----
			
I haven't seen or heard ANY guild recruiting for PVP. I did see some folks begging others to queue up for certain matches, but that's about the extent of organized PVP on the Exile side that I've seen.
 
Dominion runs pre-mades all the time. I know this because I heard about it half a dozen times this weekend, from Exiles complaining about how much fun it is to lose every single match for the last three days.
 
Honestly, I kind of want a Faction transfer at this point, since starting over on the other side is just totally not worth it.	
----
			You can also go on the PvP forums and see what a fun group of people has been causing the Exile tears. The thread is locked now of course haha.

I do know about Gatlike. Despite me being a completely different faction and player, and having lots of disagreements with him, I count Eclips as a friend of mine. In all, I actually think PVP kind of SHOULD be like that a little. Maybe not PUGs, but organized PVP guilds are pricks. And they should be. That's what makes them especially fun for a PVEer like me, I get to watch them talking to each other.
 
I mean, I was never a football player and I never had the competitive spirit like that, but I love watching them getting on each others' case on field. And I do know Gatlike's people quite a bit more than anyone in our factions' own PVP guilds. Hell, it was Eclips I asked about PVP on our own side, because I figured the man would know and I KNOW who he is.

WOW!
 
That "thread" was something else, huh?
 
 :lol:
 
Now I know I want to change factions.

			Haha yes it was. I didn't have real Internet to keep me occupied last night and it provided quite a bit of drama to keep me entertained.

Well I think it goes both ways. I hear the Exiles can be huge jerks as well. I don't think that excuses anyone acting like fools when they're crushing the other team.
 
"Get better scrubs." OK got it, very cool guys.

Really, in my less-than-humble point of view, both sides of that "discussion" were going about it poorly. The Exiles for getting butt-hurt and the Dominion for being kind of jerkish to begin with.
 
I've always been a PVPer and rarely have I been anything more than "fair" at it - but I enjoy the competition, even if I'm losing. There is no glory in losing poorly, and there is less glory in winning poorly. Being a jerk-rag to the people you're beating on, day after day, match after match, that isn't cool, or funny or worthy. Likewise, being a crybaby when you keep losing is petty and spiteful and makes you look like a tool. Either get better, find help or quit playing.
 
The Dominion wonders why more people don't try that side, then act likes buttheads publicly? How is that supposed to attract people?
 
Meh. I dunno. Plenty of blame to go around on *that* front.

Yeah I think what both sides don't think about is pvp participation is a voluntary act for both sides. The people making it miserable for the opposition will eventually find themselves to be the loneliest badasses on the playground.
 
I made the point elsewhere that pvp is not like pve. Stormtalon is going to be there tomorrow no matter how much you hoot and holler about how badly you stomp him on a regular basis. Other people not so much.
 
OK I think that's enough serious talk from me in the coffee thread haha.
 
It's almost time for me to kill some Skeech! At least they don't complain when I gib them.
