Toast?
 
 
I like to spread myself out in the game.  Last night, I didn't get much playtime (I think I logged in at 10).  However, in the less than two hours I played, I did a Zoetic kill, then traveled a bit, then hit a vet shiphand, and invited a new guildie.  I'm usually down for anything anyone asks for.  The best times in this game for me are the times when I don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing until the very last minute.  That means I've gotten to experience quite a bit of the game in a jumbled and disorganized mess.
 
But it's the traveling that makes it fun.  It's that unpredictability that really makes it fun to play an MMORPG.  I hate logging in every single day knowing exactly what I'll be doing and exactly for how long.  That's why I'm really looking forward to Star-Comm Basin.
 
But that got me thinking as to what my favorite thing to do is, and in what place?  I REALLY like Malgrave's pack of northern events, between Hellrose Bowl and R-12.  I like both of the ending leveling zones despite them being strain zones; I think the Siege of the Lightspire is one of the best 20 man events ever made.  In the end, I'm a HUGE fan of world bosses, with Metal Maw Prime probably being my outright favorite.  Then again, I love instancing as well.  If there's anything I really don't like doing, it's PVP, and that's really more of a personal peeve at this point (I played PVP-heavy games for about 20 years; I'm actually bored of it).
 
So it's hard to pick, but I suppose give me the events in Malgrave any day.  I'll drop what I'm doing to come.  What would you drop what you are doing in the game to go do in a PUG?

Morning!
 
I'd drop whatever I'm doing to PUG some RP ... that's about it. I'm a terrible person that way.  :lol:
 
I have the day off and a long weekend on tap. Made 50 on Sharice last night, woke up early and did a Vet Shiphand solo (missed Gold by less than a minute!). Then I realized I was an Armorer in all questing greens. So I've been at the Crafting Kiosk for two hours, spend about 2 Plat on supplies and Runes, so I'm just slightly less bad-off than I was at 3:45 AM when today's adventure on Nexus began.
 
Goals for the Day:
 
1. Dailies in CB and NW.
2. Find the Grimvault daily zone, since I bugged out of that craphole before I found it.
3. Find out what and where "The Defile" is ...
4. Nap.
 
In the meanwhile, "breakfast" consists of this:
 	
----
			
Breakfast for me on weekdays is always a giant protein shake... I hate eating early in the morning but if I don't I'll be half dead by 10.
 
Last night I was too tired to do much more than finish out my Exiles rep and kill a few world bosses. Tonight the wife is out at a special ladies dinner event so I'll be crushing the remainder of my gold shiphands for the amp and maybe jumping into an adventure or two.
 
Coffee is a must all day every day of course!

Good Morning!
 
I'm settling in at work with my daily Frappucino ® and a Double Smoked Bacon Sandwich. Didn't get much playing in last night because of a migraine, but I'd really like to get in a GA run for my alt tonight. How's everyone doing?	
----
			
Mornin'
 
Up early with the dog.  In her elder years, the need to pee at odd hours of the night has increased.  Suppose I can sympathize with that.  Very tired though, less sleep.
 
Whaled on Ohmna a few more times, some good sub 10% attempts, but still not quite there.  Hopefully Monday I guess.  Less random BS though, so that's good.
 
Tonight, hopefully PvP on the medic.  Or might just take a nap on the sofa.  It's hard to know at this point.  Nothing especially newsy otherwise.	
----
			Oh hey. I heard some of the Vet Shiphands give better gold/renown rewards. Is that true and if so, which ones? 	
----
			Its not a question of giving better gold/renown rewards, but it is a question of the time it takes to complete. For example, infestation can be solo'd in about 7 minutes, or done in 3.5 with a group. On the other hand deep space exploration *retch* takes 30 minutes to do solo. So the reward for running infestations is higher over time.

			World bosses I need or achievements should they be advertised to me.  The exception is if I'm involved in a prior engagement like raiding with my guild.  :)

{| class="blockquote"
Well I think they all give the same... but some are significantly shorter and easier to get gold in. I won't be returning to Deep Space Exploration or Fragment Zero unless the rewards are increased, but Infestation is great for the time/reward ratio.

Oh, I don't mind "farming instances" when I need something (like money or a certain material or whatever). I did it in WoW all the time, but usually by taking high-level toons through low-level content.
 
Speaking of THAT, can I go try normal Stormtalon all alone at 50 or does it force me down?

			you have to enter through the actual portal to the instance and uncheck rally to instance, but you can do it.

Fragment Zero has some great points to it. With a 5 man group and renown flask, it gives the best renown rewards for the time. We tried it out and you can get a 25000 renown per run. Thats 75,000+ an hour.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
Logged in last night to do my dailies. I didn't have much time to play last night due to laptop shopping with the Hubby. I have never seen someone so undecisive about getting a laptop before. After an hour of talking with the associate at Best Buy and looking at every single laptop they had on display, he just went with the one I had picked out within the first 10 minutes of being there. But I did get my Olive Garden for supper with Tiramisu for dessert, so that made me happy. :D
 
TGIF!! I can't wait to get on tonight and do all kinds of pixel killing! I've missed it all week. :ph34r:
 
I love doing VSHs, either by myself or with a group. By myself, I challenge myself on how long it takes me to do it. I still have an issue with getting gold in Frag Zero. That stupid blackbox always gives me issues on finding it in a timely manner. Practice makes perfect, right? :rolleyes:
 
Hope you all have a great weekend!	
----
			This reminds me that I should find some pals to speed run shiphands for renown because man I just don't like those things but I need those AMP points.  D:

If you use perspective create a custom entry for Black Box and the addon will draw a line to it when you get near it.

Why do that if I can tank a group through it with you rallied down, though? :D

			I honestly haven't pugged anything in at least 2 months. I do miss the pickup RP though... oh for 3 or 4 more hours in the day. 	
----
			
I will drop pretty much any solo content to do a pug.
 
{| class="blockquote"
 
Couple of reasons:
 
1. I haven't seen any of the group content all the way through. I think I'd feel more comfortable seeing the topography and knowing sort of what to expect before getting into the group mindset.
 
2. I have the day off and you don't. :lol:

			I still need to do all the non-vet content for achievements, need those achievement points for all the normal golds! Also, doing the non-vet content rallied down is a great way to learn. I learned how to tank on my engi that way.	
----
			
A fun thing to do is to three man the level 20 dungeons rallied down with only one DPS.
 
{| class="blockquote"
 
We could even do a few regular run throughs to get to know the dungeon. I could use a refresher in all of them.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I don't know how much time I'll be around this weekend during the day, but I enjoy running through the normal level dungeons and would help if I were on. I kind of don't enjoy doing DPS in them with raid gear, though. If I'm forced to DPS, I might take some gear off :D

New Achievement: Dungeon Streaking - completed a run of Normal Stormtalon and Kel'Vorath while completely naked.

Yesterday I derped around on my engineer alt for a few hours while waiting for the hubby to come home. Alas, rather than invigorate me, all it did was depress me because all of our IRL friends have stopped playing the game. It was so lonely. ;.;
 
I did mostly finish the first Biodome, and engineer is fun... I just wish my friends still played this game.	
----
			Keeping up with my 1-2 levels a day, my medic is 21, yay. I've got a horrid nasty cold though so instead of reaching 22 like I wanted on the alt, I faceplanted with some medication (that didn't do a lick of good). 	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
 
I've brought this up before- that it would be cool if there were benefits to doing content with pieces of gear missing. It would add to the replay-ability of the content as you gear up. I wouldn't suggest unique rewards, but maybe more gold/renown/whatever.
 
Another thought- do we know this achievement doesn't exist? :P
----
			Well we all know that you level by ganking noobs on the PVP server Chillia. So it's probably slow with the lower population there.

In happier news, I found The Defile and started the quest chain there. After (ugh) Grimblighthavenvault, the beautiful scenery is so soothing and pleasant. More of this please and less infected eyeballs. Thanks.  ;)

Good Morning Everyone, 
Another day at the grind for me. Hoping to get some Wildstar time in tonight maybe get to level 15 so I can get a mount. Re-rolling is tough but fun. Only 7 more hours til I am free from work. Logged a bit of time in this morning though when I woke up completed a few quests. Got to level 8. Its hard for me to decide what I like the most about Wildstar. I can tell you this though. It is absolutely the first MMORPG that I actually read the quest dialogue. Love the story and the world. Oftentimes find myself taking breaks and actually reading the lore items too.  haha.

CptBrutal, you can get a mount at 6-ish from the rental mount vendor. I know for sure there is one as soon as you get to Tremor Ridge...if you went that direction. I'm sure that all areas have to rental mount vendor somewhere close though.

The rental vendor is awesome actually. He gives you a 24 hour riding license, which at first might not seem like a while. Then you'll notice that it's 24 hours of in-game time, as in a full day of /played time. I think I was either 50 or almost 50 before the buff wore off haha.

Good Morning! <3 I picked up an iced coffee machine the other day. Well technically it's an iced tea machine but it does coffee, too. My big addiction right now is a glass of black coffee over ice with a tiny bit of almond milk. It's so amazing and I have been unable to drink hot coffee after switching to iced. I just finished my 5th spin class in a row this morning. Now I am browsing the net before leveling my Warrior. 
 
I just came back to the game. Just excited.. also that toast in the first post. Yum. :3

Thanks! I took a little try at the game right when the current drop hit but was a little busy so ended up not giving it an honest try. Other than that I played and quit at launch but I love the artstyle and the community seems really nice so would like to hopefully make my home here.

Might as well be a Morning story even though it is Evening here....anyway, so I had just finished pulling an all-nighter for some uni work I was doing and turned-in the assignment at the required time.   I figured hell it's technically the last day of the semester (barring finals which are next week) and got a good sized lunch for myself and another (take-out of course).  So after I finish mine I was like, I am going to take a two hour nap and get some mowing done as well and all will be good so I asked to be woken up at that time.  5 hours later it's 7:15pm and raining and I wonder where the time went :P.  But, the funny part is that they said they woke me up at the specified time as I uttered a couple words and sat up on my bed, even though I have no recollection of it.  
 
Oh the glory's of college, how I love and hate it. Glad to only have 2 more semester's left.

First of all, I love your Mechari so much. <3 You really have the best looking Mechari I've ever seen! :D I get jealous every time you post your screenshots. :P
 
Secondly, I will! I just need to find the time. >.< I'm thinking of starting another Dominion character when I get time since my dominion alts are all low levels anyway and I'd love to start fresh. But then again, I miss Bozzie and Zakana Skullmender. Your screenshots give me an urge to try a Mechari again though. xD It's hard to decide! But I do want to log in more soon. :)
