Good morning everyone! *sips tea*

You're going to have to find something a little stronger than that.....I guess if there isn't going to be coffee, I will just have whisky for breakfast. 
 
Going to try and check out the character editor on the PTR today if I can. In case there is anything new, I will post screenshots.

Just a reminder that these threads have to remain WildStar-related in order to stay here in General, otherwise we'll have to move them to off topic. =) 
 
My alt - 18 now, and happily questing along. I REALLY like the medic bunches and bunches, maybe even more than my esper main. I don't even feel bad about not playing a chua! .. OK, maybe a little. 
 
It's almost weekend time again, anyone doing anything exciting in-game? Is anyone participating in the numerous housing contests going on across various servers?

*swallows caffeine pill along with tea* ..That'll do it!
 
Today went by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!
 
Finished my Engineer DPS guide: http://youtu.be/iWUTonjr-Qg
It turned out ok even though I've been sick the last 2-3 days. Feeling much better now, but this sore throat isn't going away :(
 
Doing dailies tonight because I am officially broke: Got my first raid gear from GA! (Yay!! about time, after 2 months!).. and good runes = $$$$$$$$

I like tea as much as the next guy, but breakfast just has to have coffee.
 
Still working on a vet War of the Wilds imbuement for a guildie.  I tried the Entity LFG chat channel for the first time yesterday but had no luck.  Ended up in the rolling the dice with group finder again.  The first roll gave us a DPS Warrior as tank.  He ran around (apparently just randomly) tagging everything in sight.  That run ended in a vote disband.  The next run was a fail.  New healer had to put together her build before we could start, and that put us too far behind.  I guess the imbuement requires a set number of champion kills, so at least we made some progress.
 
ISP is sending a tech over this morning to perform a mandatory upgrade.  6x the bandwidth at 1/2 the price (price goes up after 1 year, but still cheaper than what I'm paying now).  Only time will tell if this is a good thing.

I think I want to have one of these for morning tea...
 
 
My morning commute from Pickerington to Westerville normally takes about 20 minutes to a half hour, all things considered.  Today, there was a car fire and major accident in the northbound lanes, so it took an hour and a half to get to work today.  Seriously, that's some horrible traffic...
 
On the other hand, last night was great!  First, I got to play with my wife for a few hours (we play an Esper/Stalker combination together), then I worked on my Stalker's plot (Herrick Red Coyote lives on Blood Tree Mesa, so I can't wait for terrain change options).  Then I hopped onto Vincent Hawthorne, who's finally shaping into a character I can RP.  I'm going to turn his plot into our engineering plot hidden at a railway station.  It should be fun!
 
I'm happy to be playing a bit more lately.  IRL has been intervening so much on my playtime that I think my guild's been suffering.  I wanted to send up a shout out to Rocio, Karaaga, and especially Carshe for really sticking in there.  They're on pretty much every night.  I'm going to have to bite the bullet and hit recruitment hard now that the Shadowcaster is up and running.  I know I hate, hate, HATE recruiting, mostly because I hate advertising, but it's got to be done.  I'm just not sure how hard I should lean into it until I clean up the forum we use.  Or if I should start looking into getting my login to work on Wildstar-Roleplayin.com, since for whatever reason, it won't actually log me in.
 
So much to do, so little time...

Morning coffee folks!

I know that one.  A week ago Monday my 10 minute commute took over an hour due to an ice storm that hit just before morning rush hour.

Wildstar news: RP happened. My character is going to get more depressed because when it rains it pours. Rocio's going to get a lot of Action tomorrow with his storyline hitting his apex and introducing 2 new characters to the world. Zombies have never been more fun! I'll put up the full results for Saturday morning's thread!  In game I did nothing but level my character Lamaya Silverroot and RP.
 
Non-Wildstar Related I have news from my Honduran mom! Winter is the rainy season down there.

 Down one road It was so muddy in the middle that we had to walk along a barbed wire fence along a narrow pathway that sloped downward. Gravity carried my feet in rainboots downward, causing me to lose my balance and I fell in such a way that my hair got caught in various places in the barbed wire, my left hand touched the top of a anthill, whereupon angry biting ants began angrily swarming up my arm. With my heavy backpack twisting my back and my head caught in the barbed wire above, I couldn't see to get my hair unhooked! I was trapped like a pig in a poke, being stung by ants and getting muddy. Antonio came running and began unhooking my hair from the barbed wire, while others began lifting me up, brushing off the ants, taking off the backpack to brush of the ants that were heading for my face and neck.

Sorry to hear that. I still need to do those for attunement. A long standing task on my TODO list is to set up a tank build and play around with it enough to be comfortable with that as an off-spec.

Work started at 7 am for me but no one wants to hear about that :)  Breakfast was coffee on the go.  Bleh.  I finally just got some time to actually think.  I hate thursdays.
 
Wildstar though - oh, Dear Watson, the game is afoot.
 
For starters, Lifestyles of Nexus II.  Excitement is building (as are the plots :) ).
 
Guild is super excited about things on the PTR right now.  There's talk of organizing a "PTR night" to go try some of it out.  I am not sure I will participate - I don't like spoiling myself.
 
Last week we kicked off an in-guild RP event series based on a loose storyline that we're calling Fallen to Darkness.  We're doing themed RP events every two weeks or so - each event is a new "episode" in the story.  The first one was an IC guild "meeting" to help set the stage for the overall plot that we're sort of following.  Rather than force everyone into a predefined story though we're just going with overarching themes and hooks - so what happens is totally up to our guildies, and we adapt the storyline based on what they do.  Best part - I'm taking the chat logs from each event and turning them into a narrative for folks who weren't there, so everyone in the guild can be up to speed on what happened.  I almost have the first one done - if you have access to our website, the first 2/3 are posted in our RP section.  Once it's finished I'll see if the guys are cool with me making it public :)
 
Tonight, we're going to Skullcano.  Because Skullcano.  We're going to steal Tugga's food, run circles around Thunderfoot, get into a pillowfight with the Bosun (because seriously, you know that's what he does with the crew on his ship), and then try to explain to Mordechai Redmoon that Lady Lavika is really just using him to get the Mask of Mog-Mog.  He probably won't listen though.  I'm taking my 'slinger Talaen, who's closing in on 50 now but could use the healing practice.  Before I get home tonight the guys were planning on running through Defile quests for some of our folks that just recently hit 50, too.
 
Tomorrow there's a Hycrest run on our calendar for our newer folks.  Saturday there's talk of doing vet adventures for people that need imbuements, and then a "late night fun run" which probably translates to "Neph, come tank for us so we can get you killed in dozens of interesting ways!"  Sunday we're gonna go show Slavemaster Drokk just what free-willed lifeforms can do in a vet KV run.  And that's just what's on the calendar.  I'm quite sure there's going to be other stuff happening ad-hoc, and I will probably be responsible for some of it myself :P
 
Long-term, we've got a few in-guild holiday things we're doing, then we start serious planning for ThaydFest II when we come back in January.  Based on how we're doing with PvE, looks like GA efforts will spin up in February/March-ish, and PvP team should come together around the same time too.  It's a good time to be a Dagger and playing Wildstar :)
 
Anyway, I had better get back to work.  Hope everyone is having as much fun (in game) as I am lately!

Well, take a look here Vic! hereIf that isn't enough to get anyone excited, I don't know what is ^.^ 
Mostly the update is to test 20man DS but I'm sure there will be more updates and changes to classes (regarding pvp at least) before d4. There have been changes to the bg queue system which I am optimistic for, if it means I get pops back I'll be playing again :)

That's great news!  I think that as necessary as Drop 3 was, we're all going to love Drop 4 a lot more.  Bug fixes aren't fun or exciting.

			A la carte AMP reset is the best change ever!

They're adding PvP?!? Cool, PvP in this game could be awesome. ;)

Imagine the symbols appearing over Neph's head in a chat bubble, one after the other, and it makes more sense ;)
