Daylight comes over the battlefield that is Nexus, and we can see relief on the way!
 
 
But first...
 
 
So, I wasn't on last night, but I'm excited about the incoming content.  I heard just before I logged off Friday that:
 
-Megaserver tech was dropped onto the PTR.
 
-Defile will drop on top of the Megaserver'ed PTR to make sure it works properly.
 
-Then Defile will be live on the PTR again.
 
I haven't heard this confirmed, but I trust the source and it would make some sense.  But to me, that just felt like daylight!
 
Which means we'll get our Megaserver implementation here very soon, as well as hopefully getting Drop 3-4 sooner rather than later (since we'll have a lot of time to wring it out).  I'm installing the PTR build now.  I'm anxious to see what kind of incentives we'll have to get new players to try the game out as well as getting old players to come back and see the improvements.  Mostly, though, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on the Megaservers that isn't on Evindra with me.  There was a time when Coffee was largely Evindra people chatting about roleplay, but there have always been non-Evindra people around.  People I've come to count as great friends, even though we couldn't play together.  Everyone has a home on the Blazing Saddles if you're PVE and Exile!  Just let me know if you'd like to join in.  I personally run RP, because that's what I do, but anything that anyone wants to run, I won't step on your toes.  Everyone who sticks with this game, supports this game, and is on this battlefield with me fighting for its survival in its current form, you've more than earned a spot anywhere you want to be.
 
And I think that's what I wanted to say to everyone that's still here, fighting the good fight, locking shields with mine and giving Carbine time to work on the game.  Thanks for being here, for not leaving me alone to try and support this game, to help me provide at least an oasis of positive community in the sea of negativity that game forums always are .  A lot of people left for a lot of different reasons, promising they'd be back if this-or-that changed.  But we survive, we're still here, and a few of you decided to dig in and support the game another month to give Carbine time to fix it.  And while I know that Carbine appreciates it, as a member of this community, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it.  It means a lot to me that you guys are here.
 
Relief is coming.  I hope it's enough and it's in time, but, like those trapped at Helm's Deep, it's time to ride out and charge the darkness, to meet the dawn.  Let's have some fun in October and get psyched for what's coming!  I'm downloading the PTR now and I'll be in game today to work on something or another.  If anyone on Evindra Exiles wants to do something, let me know.  You've got my full and undivided support for being here if you need a crap tank tank or a slightly less crap DPS.
 
But especially if you run a bar and need someone to show up.  I've got the voodootastic dance steps that make the ladies swoon.
 
See you on Nexus!

If the server merge happens before ThaydFest, that would be amazing.  I'd love to have the entire north america PvE community be able to join in the fun on the 18th, rather than just one server :)
 
Either way we'll have a ton of fun.
 
Today is an important day.  The Daggers are having a guild meeting this morning, to talk about "the plan" for the next few months, and then this afternoon I'm running War of the Wilds and later Ruins of Kel Voreth for us to romp around in.  But more importantly, today I'm going to get Eldan Data Fragment 14/14, and learn my first piece of Adventus equipment.
 
I'd better get to it :)

			PTR is huge... and I hate Time Warner.  Wish they'd upgrade my damn area so I could get the speed I can afford.

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Nothing fancy happening in real life. Touhou, Touhou and more bullet hell in-between session on WildStar. I have the whole weekend off so it is being spent gaming.You have something for Mondo? 
 
In WildStar news? Hmm. Dyes? A LOT of dyes? Apparently, the "Duffel Bag of Distinguished Dyes" can drop on normal difficulty. I cleared Stormtalon's Lair last evening and got one to drop as well as one "Ground Mount Side Flair: Pell", which means I have to farm it again! I want TWO side flairs now. Not much else has happened outside of the usual: dailies, currency and costumes.I do have a question though. Can you slap hoverboard flairs on any non-basic, non-Eldan hoverboard? For example, the Strain Front Flair on a Bulldog hoverboard? I am too broke (too greedy, really) to dare and try it out.
 
@VicVanMeter: you will probably be sorely disappointed on the PTR. The fancy things to come were in Drop 3 which was wiped from the PTR. I have yet to return to it myself but you used to have a whole lot of conveniences (infinite money, mats, etc.) to maximize testing. As far as I know, PTR is live + latest patch + megaserver tech.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!

So my other character's friends saw a new side of her.
 
When she heard that there was a charitable event in Crooked Corners, they expected the sweet Aurin to be compassionate.
 
What she was was -offended-. Was there a job fair at this charity? She works her finger to the bone, and these layabout drunks get food for free? They're just takers... she said she'd probably see those same people who steal from her and break in her house. Those same people who throw their trash everywhere so it can blow in her yard!
 
Her friends begin to back away slowly... but it's ok, they're still friends. :)

			Just stopping by to say, that I love Crimelords of Whitevale.  I need to make a gangster outfit for when we run that adventure :)

Are the servers up now? The launcher still says server maintenance, and I'm getting confused. I have bought my mini fridge and it  has mike's hard lemonade in it, for when I need a drink due to massive stupidity getting to me.
 
 
 
It feels like all public buildings should have like a small fridge thing with a beer in it  "In case of stupid break glass".

The highlight of breakfast was bad coffee.  :(
 
I was going to mow the lawn IRL, but I figure it'll be fine for another day or two.
 
My Esper made it out of Malgrave yesterday into Grimvault.  And there was much rejoicing.  She discovered the entrance to and Eldan facility in her hobo camp this morning.  Inside there was jumping, so the stress level was pretty high.  Good thing she's got two kegs in camp.  :)

			Diablo 3 and RoS are on sale until tomorrow, half off. Just thought to mention since I'm gonna go play through RoS.. If Blizzard does one thing right its them sexy cinematics.

			Good day all, Resting after my daughters friend has gone home. In W* today Maahes gained another level and did Farside's Dome 3. I have come to the conclusion that I need more costume slots and I'm finally starting to work on Maahes' back story.

Good Morning Coffee People,
 
Loving the images in the first post...  I just marathoned the Triology yesterday!
 
Did some learning in Skullcano last night, it was fun.  Getting more and more people in the guild used to the Vet STL fights so it's getting easier and easier to pick up people and get through in a timely fashion.  Have I ever mentioned that I love dungeons in this game?  Now if only the RNG saw some fixing so items I actually need / want dropped  :P
 
I've decided that I want to focus on building multiple costumes for my wonderful little Chua and on leveling my Engineer alt.  I'm fascinated by ranged tanking and want to give it a go.  I suck as engineer dps, not sure what I'm doing wrong.  But I'm only lvl 25, I assume it'll get better with more AMP and Ability points.
 
Three more work days till my Vegas Vacation, can't wait to get out of town for a bit, though I'll miss WS, that's for sure...
