No breakfast pictures, so I present you with a lovely Tard image:
 
 
Not much in the real-life corner. Avoided forums last week because I knew I'd never be productive otherwise. Busy week with work.
 
As for WildStar, the Daggers ran a bunch of stuff over the weekend, and had a guild town hall meeting to discuss our future. We had a pretty good turn out, and folks seemed pretty happy with the direction of the guild. So it's a win-win in my book. I got Bauxyte and Jhisalith both a level this weekend, and headed out to do the snowy daily area for the first time ever with Chaide and some other guildies. 
 
Currently nothing on the calendar tonight for Daggers (officially... gasp!) but that doesn't mean impromptu stuff won't happen. I might be up for some PvP on Jhisalith if Monday continues to be, well, Monday. I do wish queues didn't take so long at 50. I really want to finish out both my PvP sets so I can go on and start rateds.
 
So, what is everyone up to? How was your weekend?	
----
			
Had a relatively boring day.  I downloaded the PTR to check out some of the changes when Drop 3-4 makes it back on there.  Especially in the housing, because it WAS a busy night for me on Nexus.  I got invites by Qae along on an R-12/Scorch/Ely run, which was fun and always appreciated, but I spend most of the night laying down the decks for the Shadowcaster.  I think the decks are now largely set and in place, and tonight, if no one else asks me to do anything, I'll start setting more walls (I set up the angled glacis plate on the front, but little else).  I've decided to go with minimal-to-no plugs, except maybe the Mayday expedition depending on if I can get the bits in.  I might also drop in the AA defense turret, or power generator if I can fit them in, but the problem with making a flying battleship out of a housing plug is that you want as little of the "ground" showing as possible.
 
I'm still not sure if my teleporter situation is completely resolved yet, either.  I hate that it's elevated and on an angle.  I think it's coming along well though.  When it's getting closer to a state of completion, I'll take some pics.  Just saying, can't wait for the new drop, because I'm going to be right up on that decor limit.
 
I'll be on tonight, though I wanted to hang out with my wife a bit before I log in.  Hopefully, she'll log in with me tonight! :D  Metal Monday goes to the Middle East over lunch, so for those on the mailing list, we've got some fun on tap tonight!
 
See you on Nexus.

*Walks in, startled before suddenly shooting the face at the end of the room*
 
Sorry...wasn't your pet, was it? Ah only picture. Phew.
 
Here's something to eat for time being. Pure food, no experimental additives!
 
 
Much homework assignments this weekend, so not had much free time.
So far, still haven't caught cold despite many peoples around my area still having one. Used to catch many colds in past so quite surprised. Will try keep this up until things get better.
 
Weekend on Nexus was quiet. Aside from chat with friends not much going on. Might try liven things up a bit in weekend after next with rp, got some things planned.

This no breakfast or coffee Morning coffee is getting uninteresting >.<
 
*picks up a couple of olives* Thanks Kargura

Morning all!
So been a busy weekend for me...
 
We had a wedding on Friday(grats to Meeno and Rynat) that was fun, but I had to leave after the ceremony and miss the reception. Saturday a truck ran into our porch, but is being rebuilt(needed to get it re-done anyway, hell of a motivator lol), then i logged on Wildstar for adventure time which went very well doing war of the wilds normal and veteran. Was new for some people and always happy to introduce folks to new content and having fun doing it, while actually getting some upgrades as well. Though it was tiring after that because it went from adventures straight into R-12 containment event, gaurdians of the grove, Elyona, and scorchwing, lol
 
Sunday took care of more porch stuff and played smash bros most of the day(go larry!)
BUT did a wildstar art stream that folks seemed to have a lot of fun in:
 
It's still rough, but I'll put up the finish shortyl(hoping to be done tonight)

It's just kind of what this entire thread is about Chestnut. Breakfast and coffee.
 
Morning Coffee is here with special permission from the mods since closed beta. We kinda need to stick with the program or be booted to off topic. 
----
			
Please don't get this whole discussion going again.........
Morning Coffee has been grounds for a lot of pointless discussions and rage, and I really don't want to see more come of it.
Last Drama Show it was established from all sides that Morning Coffee adheres to the following agreements:
 
It contains stuff about WildStar
It contains stuff about food/personal life
The OP starts with this.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
So, I shouldn't start a morning coffee thread if I didn't eat breakfast? I thought this, while talking about what yummy breakfast we're having, is a recap of what we've done in WildStar. I mean, that's why *I* keep coming back. To see what neat things folks are doing in game. :)

Thank you for the clarification, Olivar. 
 
Contemplates whether it would be a good idea to pat Olivar on the head in thanks. Thinks better of it.

Mornin' all.
 
 
The morning coffee is delicious as always, but no breakfast for me. I think I eat too late at night to be hungry in the morning. *shrug*
 
Let's see...I didn't get much done in WS over the weekend, but I did get to run adventures with the 'Kickers on Saturday. Scaarinen met two Daggers as enemies for the first time (I'm glad I wasn't flagged for PvP...Zhilly and Molu are scary :lol:).
 
I also finally maxed Crimson Badlands rep...so now I never have to ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever*gasp*ever go back unless a guildie needs help. ^_^
 
Dailies...
 
 
I HATES THEM.
 
Irony of ironies, after celebrating that I never had to go back to Crimson Badlands (at least on Scaarinen), I decided to level my spellslinger...who was sitting in Crimson Isle. :mellow:  :(  :angry:  UGH. :lol:
 
Off Topic: part of the reason I didn't get much done in WS is that a friend recommended Magicka: Wizard Wars (it's free) and OMG is it addictive. I won't get into it too much here, but wow. Win or lose, it's the most fun I've had in PvP in a long time.
 
 
{| class="blockquote"
Then has big pancake!!!

Don't you just love how cute Olivar is when you upset him?  :D
 
Good morning everyone, yay for Monday......
 
Working on my first cup of coffee and have to dial into a work thing in 20 minutes.  Sigh.  I hope no one asks me to actually talk.  I'll have to try to sneak some breakfast during the call.
 
Wildstar was a big day yesterday:
 
- I crafted my first ever Adventus item shortly after logging on.
- I then turned around and posted a thread here about how the other 15k Adventus shield schematic is probably bugged.  Heh.
- After that, I took some guildies through Crimelords of Whitevale.
- We got one of the minor gangs to the rank three alliance for the first time.
- It was really cool since none of us had done the story that way before.
- Then we did our guild meeting and talked about a bunch of things.
- ThaydFest is going to be awesome, but coming down to crunch time and need to try to get a few more people to help with it.
- Next, I took some guildies through War of the Wilds
- Later, I took some guildies through Ruins of Kel Voreth
 
... uh.. I don't remember what happened next.  Need more coffee.
 
Anyway have to go try to become coherent enough for conference call.  No wildstar for me tonight... or tomorrow... or probably until Thursday this week.  Darn work and RL commitments :(

It's a pacmancake!
 
What in the world did they cook that in? A cheese wheel mold? :P
 
 
 
While I love those foods, I don't know that I'd want it for breakfast. It'd take some getting used to for sure.
 
Then again, Vic posted cuy again over the weekend, so yours wins over that. :D
 
 
I wouldn't eat it simply because the bacon is all overcooked. :) #baconsnob

Bacon Sandwich and bottle of Wild Turkey Bourbon.
 
That sounds like my kind of breakfast.

I'm going to have fun with the Shadowcaster when it's done.  I want that place to be the baddest place on Nexus for mercs, hellraisers, and bruisers of all stripes.
 
We will have alcohol and pork, by God!

Yeah, they stay flagged on purpose. They can definitely be quite scary. ;P
 
Grats! I don't think I'll ever max the rep at the rate I'm going, haha.

I'm really interested to see what it looks like by the end!
 
Quite honestly, I'm having a lot of trouble setting up my main's house. I have ideas, but I don't particularly know how to execute them. And I don't see many Spacious Aurin Houses around when I visit public plots for inspiration and jaw-dropping "Holy moly, I wish I could do that!" shenanigans. I don't stalk the housing forums much, I wonder if that would help...
 
Though, I'm really really really really anxious for the item increase in patch. I know exactly what I want to do outside with my plot, but have been holding off because I know I'll go over the limit pretty fast, and will be miffed if I have to hold off on construction.

I'm not really looking forward to the interior of my house, either. It'd help if there was a comprehensive decor database, because I'm very visual with inspiration. The two databases I've found are helpful, but not complete, and not always accurate. I like looking at the housing forum to see what others have done, but if I see something I like, it'd be nice to be able to look up what the components are.

@Vick - They make those with a rice cooker, you put all the batter and ingredients inside and get a big ol fluffy gigantic pancake hehe.
 
 
ALSO today is not a good day...a squirrel literally just took my breakfast bagel...

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Monday morning food was honey nut Cheerios! As I mentioned before, I am a Cheerios person and live close to a CostCo so giant boxes of cereals everywhere! This morning as uneventful and oddly quiet. Dealt with the usual scraps and bruises, headaches and their empowered migraine distant cousin.Fun fact! I've mentioned Mondo Zax so much in the Coffee Threads that when you do a Google Image search for Mondo Zax, other pictures from the coffee thread show up. Today's picture is my wallpaper. Yep.
 
In WildStar news, a few things have happened. I collected a few more dyes but more importantly, I have started to dabble in housing last night. It has proven to be much more problematic than expected. As for today, more dailies and more housing, I suppose. It always comes down to dailies, really.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!P.S Invent a machine to siphon Typrop's ability to draw. I could not to save my life.

Oh yeah RP
 
So Rocio was out communing with the Godwood tree. He's starting to feel really close to it in that slightly disturbing Aurin way.
 
But just as they were deep in conversation it was like someone was rapping on the window. Who was accessing the Weave in such an annoying manner? Why a cute yet disturbed Aurin. After talking to her, he found she was afraid of the Weave... She was so strong though. Rocio wanted to help her. But she took it the wrong way and started whacking him over the head with her Weave powers.
 
Desperate he used all his strength to sever the connection to the Weave that was allowing her to smack him. Turns out that is a big no-no with consequences beyond his understanding. The cute Aurins sister wants to smack him now.... Permanently.

Metal Monday is out for this week!  This week, we look into a few Middle Eastern bands and the Middle Eastern scene in general, looking at Acrassicauda, Arsames, and Catafalque.
 
Next week, I've got one more band, coming from Turkey, that will blow you away.

No Patting of Chua! :angry: 
 
...

			Omg... It's Chua! Not Chau!!!	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Then can i assume that a Chau drawn sleigh would be a no-go?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
If you have ItemPreviewImproved, you can preview decor on the AH.  It's not the best tool for actually looking at it (you've got one level, and can rotate), but it's exceptionally helpful if you're just flipping through the AH.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Omg... It's Chua! Not Chau!!!

{| class="blockquote"
So hitching them to a sled is OK, just don't misspell the name. :D
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I think you'd have an easier time trying to put a Draken or Mechari drawn sleigh together.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It is a very good tool. I've had it installed for a while. Unfortunately, there are lots of items that aren't on the AH regularly.
 
 
I enjoy it, but there's a lot about Wildstar that I enjoy. Housing is certainly one of the systems with the fewest problems.
 
 
If you're selective, the Draken may not even need faux antlers. Just put cotton puffs at the ends of their tails. :)

A while back, I promised the MC thread as a whole that I would restrain my tendency to make puns, but that doesn't mean they don't show up every now and then. There was one thread where I had everyone making puns for most of the afternoon. :D
 
 
This is the first MMO I've played that has a housing system, so I don't really have anything to compare it to other than the SIMS games. WS's system is already more flexible than the SIMS, at least as far as construction goes, although I'd kill for:
 
1) SIMS-style terrain controls (we'll see what the terrain modifications in Drop 3 are - I can dream, right?)
 
2) texture & color mapping for placeable walls & maybe other objects (SIMS has it, but highly unlikely for WS)
 
3) curved and triangular walls (these are confirmed to be in development, yay!)
 
4) functional, placeable, collision-sensitive water - for terrain and otherwise (think waterfalls, swimming pools, aquariums, etc.)
 
5) placeable doorways and windows that actually create openings and allow characters to bypass object collision (there are a lot of objects that could be used as neat rooms and walls if the character had a way inside)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You know what I'd kill for right now?  An "align" tool.
 
Just something to say (I want these walls to be exactly the same scale and meet at this edge aligned perfectly.
 
Or just make the walls stretchable.  Take the repeatable pattern and let it repeat as you make the wall long.  I'd have loved to set one of the 14 or 16 walls for the glacis plate on Sunday and just stretched it out to cover what I needed to cover.  Getting everything to line up, especially when the scale is a slider and not a number, is a PITA.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You know you spend too much time in CAD when you type AL-space- and expect your Granok walls to line up. :D
 
It took me a while to realize that each object does have a control point that all of the coordinates are measured from, so that does make it somewhat easier to align things manually. I am impressed that the coordinates go down to the hundredths place. That allows more accuracy than I would've expected from an MMO, and it's a great way to avoid the conflicting graphic display when things are overlapping too closely, like floors (just reduce/increase the Y coordinate by 0.01 and it'll stop flashing)
 
A stretch option would be fantastic. That'd also solve the proportion issues Xila (?) was having a while back.

			Yeah, similar for using ADT objects in CAD.

You guys must be speaking Alien or something.
 
There is a tool where you can copy everything about an item and paste it onto another. Thanks to a guildie, I use that to past a wall on top of another wall and then use the arrows to move it accordingly. Seems to do the trick for lining things up.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I tried that, but copy transform doesn't work.  Are you talking about an addon?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
No addon, the copy transform. You have to select the radio buttons (C R X or whatever) and then select copy and paste those same ones onto another object.

			Do we need to start you two a circle - Architect's Anonymous? :)	
----
			
Ha!
 
Yeah, and then we should start charging people to build stuff on their housing plots.
 
(I'm totally willing to work with people on their houses, btw)	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Do we need to start you two a circle - Architect's Anonymous? :)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
You don't want to be an Architect, they need to add a WS profession called "Plans Inspector".
 
Where you go to people's plots, flag everything that doesn't work, ask them to rebuild it in two weeks, and they give you 20 plat.
