Good Morning Everyone!
 
Yes, I know I started this yesterday but I don't often start it, so figured I would catch up :)
 
First: To the WildStar community.
 Thank you for being
 
Second: Coffee and Breakfast
Okay so a light breakfast - I ran out of eggs and bacon :(
 
Finally finished my house plot on Spouse last night. It is ready for to be judged in the upcoming ThaydFest II events. Unless I find something more to do with it LOL I still have lots of decor spaces left, so anything could happen.
 
Ran a couple of VSH last night with the guild, finally got gold in Frag Zero. Yeah, I know, others have done it by themselves. But as many times as I have run it, I could never find the darn black box right away. So, thank you to Kitty, Dixie, Dordren, and Taerse! You guys rock!!

So I know it's a little late...but I'm just getting around to my second cup of coffee.  I'm sitting here at almost 11pm working on a wiki for a writing model that I am presenting at a teaching conference over the weekend.  It really has me thinking about all the changes that I want to make on Nexus.  I big part of that is getting better at things that I am not all that good at.  I really want to make it a habit everyday to have a cup of coffee here, with you all.  My good friend Nephele has made it a point to do so, and some of the greatest things ever happen to us Daggers have come out of it.  So humbly, I'm approaching the table too.  I know it is a little late, but I still feel like we have a good few miles to go before we all sleep.  Maybe some of you are feeling that way too.  There is a little noodle shop that will be coming to a plot near you, and yeah, I plan on serving coffee.  I know that sounds strange, but once you realize that there is squirg to go in it...wait?  What's that?  Yeah, squirg for...wait...stop interrupting.  No.  It goes in both the coffee and the noodles; and yeah, it's really good.  Well just give it a try.  I'll bring you a bowl next time, and a cup too.
 
PS.  It is really great to see you again, Tex!
 
Also I am a big fan of John Donne.  You know, English teacher and all... :3  I wonder what Granok poetry is like?...
 
And hey Unit!  
 
(Chestnut is totally helping me figure out who you all are...cheating?  Yeah, but why not?  She is so awesome :3)

Sometimes it takes all I have to just say nothing. 
 
But let's not fixate on that point. I tried to help out last night over on Exile side, but well we don't have any characters that can do Vet shiphands over on that faction, so my help was limited. 
After loitering on Cirinde's housing plot for a few days, it makes me want to get back to working on housing again....It will be on Dominion for the moment. I want to start putting trees down on the Wilderrun themed plot, and get some insight as to what sorts of things my wife wants for her housing. 
 
Glad to see Elite Seraph back on the forums. That link in your sig to the Draken Ladies thread brings back memories.

Yesterday wasn't very good for the most part.  Work was incredibly brutal, and it isn't going to be easier today.  I've got deadlines from other people that they can't finish, thus they need me to finish, cascading on my head from three directions.  I was putting out fires all day yesterday.  Then I got home to do the TL;DR, and it's not my best one, I don't think.  I finally logged in feeling kind of bedraggled.
 
Things started to turn around, though.  I've got my new core and motherboard waiting for me at home (I didn't have time to put them in last night).  I logged in and was questing with Parthenia when one of our new guys popped up and asked if we could run Protostar Academy.  So we jumped in, waited for the fifth to get to us, and when he didn't, we decided to four-man it.  It was great training for the group we were with!  I even personally loved it!  There's a lot to learn in this game, and I'll say this, that dungeon teaches you dungeons.  Walking out of that, you know what you need to be doing when someone tells you to interrupt, dodge telegraphs, and walk the boss.  And the fourth person we did it with joined the guild!  So welcome Roxey! :D
 
Then Casim logged on, and running content with Casim is generally a flying, hectic, chaotic experience.  If anyone wants to know where my insane tanking style comes from, it's from having an insane healer and DPS in he and my other brother (who plays Nikola and Radimir in the guild).  He goaded me into immediately jumping into a Siege of the Lightspire.  Seriously, running it at the same time as yesterday, this time we had like 30 people without even counting the ten or so Dominion that showed up.  It went great, we had a lot of fun, and his medic healing is pretty insane!  It's fun to have your healer running around with you dodging the same telegraphs.  You could see how long we'd been playing together when we were literally both rolling in almost unison.  He then talked me into a VSH (even though it was WAY too late already), so I got to do Fragment Zero for the first time last night.  Gold medaled it and loved every second of it! :D
 
And to top it all off, I finished the abovedecks of the Shadowcaster!  We are open for business!  I'm using models of ships until Donne himself hits 50 and starts pulling those fighters from VSHs.  Wish I could give Donne those on Seeger, since he has so many.
 
So yes, I will need coffee because it was a long night and it will be a long day, but no matter how crap your day is, a good night on Wildstar makes every day awesome! :D
 
 
As an aside, does anyone know where I can get a giant, transparent video screen?  I think I've seen one before, but I wanted to replace my old overhead screen on the flydeck with a digital HUD for the captain and helmsman.  Anyone know what decor would be best?

I will have to get on my Chua to come see your dommie plot. Also, if you need anything made, let me know. My Chua (named Spousal Unit, yeah I know, original lol) is an architect and can provide you some things.
 
You did help with the new member and that 5man quest in Galeras. Some help is better than none :)
 
I appreciate all the help you and your wife gave me on doing my balcony and stairs. You both had good ideas and a critical eye that was needed. Thank you both! :wub:

Hope many come to your plot for the events!
 
Came across some amazing houses yesterday, one of them being massive airborne chua tube maze! EEEEE! Is called Puzzle and Tube Maze (Jabbit), unfortunately cannot remember name of owner (very long name). Highly recommend checking out if you see it in public plot list!
 
 
100% agreed. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life, but after convincing myself to go into Wildstar in the evening and playing with friends there, was able to forget the bad things and feel much better.
 
As for the transparent video screen, we sometimes get Dominion Scanner decors from veteran shiphands which fit that description. Not sure if the exiles get a similar scanner. You can also get Dominion and Exile Wall Panels from the adventure Seige of Tempest Refuge which can be used for a HUD.

Thank you! If I was on Jabbit, I would check it out. That sounds amazing!
 
There is a Dominion Scanner in the gbank. I put it there a few days ago.

Sounds like the ship viewscreen.  I believe it is/was a reputation item from either Grimvault or Wilderrun.  Very large blue panel, slightly curved, very little HUD on it (unlike the UI on the smaller panels.)  Maybe that helps.
 
We had a phenomenal raid night last night.  Nothing new, but everyone was on point and we got the stuff that could be considered farm status down in a night with lots of laughs, and a minimum of dumb mistakes (especially to trash, which sometimes seems harder than the bosses themselves because people aren't paying attention).  Tonight, another downing of Prototypes and more work on Convergence (so close on the latter, just need that consistency).  Stoked about my tanking kit and build.  Colleague and I debugged some issues over the weekend (I should have taken a screenshot pre Drop 4 so I didn't have an elder gamer moment and misplace a few amps when we got reset) and I do indeed have all the threat now.  DPS set is coming along nicely too in dribs and drabs.
 
Launched a story writing contest on FF's forums.  Hoping to inspire some good prose.  I hope it's not ignored, but I know that writing isn't everyone's cup of tea.  Guess we'll see!  Also had a wonderful conversation with a guildie about lore and characters and story the other evening which sort of re-invigorated my already deep appreciation of Wildstar's storyline.  Always seems to be some nuance I had not heard of or delved into that becomes the linchpin of someone else's story which is tremendously cool.
 
And it's Thursday and gym day and it's freakin' cold outside.

I'll check it out.  I also saw something called a STanding Viewscreen Display I might look into.  I could have sworn I've seen an almost transparents screen with blue stuff on it that was, essentially, a screen or HUD.  I can't remember where though.
