So I think I've been here in the coffee thread more or less for a year now. That's insane.
First off I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
 
I say safe cause one time a cousin of mine got third degree burns on his arms from trying to deep fry a turkey the redneck style. I'm glad I wasn't there to see it!
 
Yesterday was a bit of an odd day for me, the people I enjoyed spending Thanksgiving with have passed in the last few years. My grandmother who I grew up with, eating her food every year and spending time with her is something I miss terribly, and I threw my first ever Thanksgiving in the UK with my father in law who passed of Cancer last May. To me, Thanksgiving is about family. I don't mean to be a debbie downer, Thanksgiving, even with it's weird history is a great holiday to spend time with family and I hope you all enjoyed it. :)
 
And this morning is Black Friday.
So I'll send all our Protostar loving members of the wildstar community this image:
 
Looks yummy! I miss bearclaws! hehe! I should look up a recipe for Christmas this year. :D
 
Now it's EXP weekend! Show me screenshots of your toons you plan on levelling up!
 
I've actually got plans on levelling alts on the Entity server (Dommie and Exile) for the upcoming event Kaeret, Mayordasmoose, and Cirinde are helping to judge! ^______^
 
The big ol box of goodies arrived today
So many shinies!
What are they for you ask?
http://tinyurl.com/NAWinterfest& http://tinyurl.com/EUWinterfest
 
I adore hosting these events, the community is always willing to come together and participate. That's what I like the most about these events, the community. The WildStar community is literally the best MMO gamer community I've seen (and I've played a LOT of MMOs)
 
Now, I'm actually posting this for my NA friends- Does anyone have a guild I can use soley for guild buffs over this weekend so I can get to 14? I'm hoping for a dommie to 14 today and an exile to 14 on Sunday (Saturday I'm out with some friends making my own Thanksgiving feast :D )If not, I don't mind slugging it out on my own but the guild xp buffs would help immensely.
 
Anyways, I hope ya'll snag some goodies for Black Friday and gift giving <3

Happy thanksgiving!
Even if I have no celebration of my own this weekend, I hope you guys celebrating are having a great time!
And those goodies, I'm not jealous at all... no not a bit :P or well... maybe a little bit, or a huge bit :D
 
This weekend I'm joining the dark side, yes... I'm leveling a pink aurin. I'm dominion in hearth and I love chuas but when I first laid eyes on this game I decided that I want to have a chua and an aurin, they are both adorable even if chuas are a bit more so :D And even if my little chua is my main I want to have another housing slot as well. And who would be better to make "Home tree" other than an aurin?=)
 
However, not much leveling yet. Soon work will start, I usually don't work fridays but since my bf is out of town I took wednesday off and friday work instead. Not best friday amusement but hopefully time will pass fast =) Then, if battleground queues are alright, I will pop a potion =)

Morning, all.
 
Visual representation of me, after dinner yesterday:
 
Jumped on my little Spellslinger this morning. Was level 14 when I started. An hour later, I'm almost level 22.  :lol:  As someone who has already leveled innumerable characters, this buff is a HUGE boost to my Alt-O-Holism. 
 
Yesterday was great. Piles of food, epic-level napping, hanging out with the family and puttering around on Nexus in-between pulling dishes out of the oven. Everyone is still sleeping off the food coma, and I needed a coffee refill, so here I am.  ;)	
----
			
Had epic food stuffs, much dead bird was consumed!
 
Still find it a bit weird that my Thanksgiving Dinner was breakfast, but such is the life of working third shift. Was a pretty relaxing day though, even if I did have to work until a bit ago (go #TeamNocturnal!). Not really much planned for this weekend. I may level up a few alts for housing, but that's really it that I can think of. Don't really like anything outside of Esper/Spellslinger so the drive to go alt crazy isn't just there outside of getting more place to build things. Hoping neighborhoods come soon, really want to get Phase 2-5 finished up and linked together!

So much stuffing...  Our stuffing recipe is what makes Thanksgiving for me.  I'm still trying to catch up on my lack of stuffing from the years I couldn't be with my family due to school and my dad's job taking them out of country.
Yesterday was kinda scary.  Steel's family finally agreed to come up for the holiday so my family hosted his mom for the dinner then his sister and her kids came over after for pie and pumpkin cake.  Our families have never met before now so we were kinda holding our breath to see how it would go.  Turned out fine.  All the adults got along well and Steel's niece started crying when it was time to go because she had so much fun with my sisters.  We're not 100% sure what they did to make that little girl love them aside from play coloring books and stickers. I guess maybe stickers have better bonding power than I thought?
 
I'm on the fence about leveling another alt.  My warrior can use some love and I do want to get her to 50 but I'd also rather level her with whatever class Steel goes for next.  Maybe I'll take advantage of the boost for one of my housing alts or another Dominion toon.  Dunno.  Guess I'll see how long Steel's family sticks around and go from there.

Well, it being Canada here, Thanksgiving has long since past. :lol: But I am happy all of you down south (and also northwest..?) are having a great one.
 
I think I will be leveling my Medic this weekend! I will, no MUST, drag myself away from Fallout 4 to do this. I'll post some screens later, I am quite happy with his costume- though it is rather generic.
 
All this food though, it's making me jealous. For no real reason at all I decided to try intermittent fasting yesterday, and thus today. The change of not eating for 15 hours is surpisingly tough right now... I am trying very hard not to me a grump. ;)

No leveling for me this weekend. I don't want anything making leveling any faster than it already is. >_<
 
Last night I actually managed to spend some time playing the game with a friend who normally plays FFXIV - whom we haven't been able to play with in a long while for exactly that reason. I got so excited! We were gonna do some vet shiphands and unlock her AMP power upgrade, and maybe grab some guildies to fill out a vet adventure group and really dig our teeth into content to gear her out...
 
... and then after one vet shiphand, she had to go eat dinner. >_< And dinners for her are like 3 hour affairs, so... that was it for the night. Sigh. Much disappointment. Why is it so hard to find time to play with friends??? Husband and I hopped into GW2 and got our characters to 35 instead, so we could buy the cultural armor. :/ I still have no idea what I'm doing in that game (we picked it back up a week ago after not playing since launch... holy what).
 
Looking forward to trying Convergence tomorrow evening in raid at least! I foresee many a wipe!

Good morning/afternoon all, 
 
Hope those of you doing Thanksgiving had a good one and no doubt probably went up a couple of belt notches with the amount of food you ate. 
 
As ive gotten to lvl 50 on my Stalker this weekend I plan making the most of the XP boost to get my Engineer to at least lvl 25, I keep reading that is when the class gets better and im hoping so as right now it is very sloooowwww going.
 
Worst case scenario I level up one of my other alts that I have sitting in the wings maybe Warrior or Esper as they two are my next two favorites or go back and use my Stalker to try and get his armor up so everything is at least ilvl 70 or higher. Right now leveling another character up is a nice welcome break from the information overload I got from reading a few guides on what to do at end game and to be honest I still haven't got a clue what im doing.
 
But im just completing contracts and picking stuff up off a board and going to different areas and completing more missions and seeing where that takes me.  Purchased the PVP armor as it was far better than what I had and it was relatively cheap, been keeping my eye on the AH for anything useful that comes up although alot of the medium armor stuff is all for Support but on a plus note I nearly got all my Tank set sorted because of it.

Another week has been survived and it's finally time for the weekend, yay!
 
Considering WS is one of my "undercover" games where I don't play with my usual group of acquaintances I'm deliberately taking things very, very slow instead of hurrying to the cap to run dungeons and raids.
With the XP event (and my ongoing lack of motivation) that means I'm pretty much living in housing (Ha! Very punny indeed) to avoid leveling any faster than I normally do.
 
To get a change of scenery I've downloaded Guild Wars 2 after leaving it a month or so after its release. I'm surprised and a little overwhelmed by how much the game changed since then and having a pretty good time just casually leveling a new character and doing map completion.
 
I did hang out with the aforementioned acquaintances on TS for a bit earlier, the plan was to do something in Skyforge but ultimately nothing came of it due to timezone madness and differing schedules. We did make plans for tomorrow, Saturday afternoon/evening should be a time everyone has a couple of hours available.
I'll admit I still can't wrap my head around any timezone that's not GMT±X without resorting to a conversion website, it's hard enough to keep track of regional holidays. Although Thanksgiving is easy, it's heralded by my inboxes exploding with Black Friday this, Cyber Monday that. 
Ah how I miss the time when none of us had to worry about things like work and other appointments, things were simpler then.

Well, I made it from 7 to 17, not too bad for a couple of hours. At this point queues are getting longer, and I'm getting a bit tired :P So, time to call it a night =)
Will see how it goes tomorrow, hopefully I will have a little time to level, got a fill rested xp pot that would go well with the weekend. But I need to finish an assignment first.
For those of you leveling, how are things going?=)

I've been hella busy today. Managed to get a dommie to level 14 in a few hours :D
Sunday will be Entity exile.
tomorrow I'm making the following for 5 people:
 
We'll have 7 layer dip prepped first for us to eat while we cook
Then main meal: Green bean casserole, potato salad, mashed potatoes, turkey, UK gravy
dessert we'll have a picking of pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cherry cheese pie.
 
nom nom!
Late thanksgiving for me tomorrow :DD
 
Going off for the night!

			Umm, I don't want to jinx us, but I was playing during prime time on Friday during 2XP -- lag free. I have never, ever, ever played an MMO during 2XP without massive server lag. It's disconcerting.	
----
			
Yes I'm reeeeeeally late to the party...
 
Ran a couple of 7's to 15 and 16.  Got another 7 I'd like to get to housing and a 3 cooling his heels on Warhound.  My big project for this weekend is to get my 25th level warrior to 50 which will give me one of each class at 50 Exile side.  Hope to put a big dent into that tomorrow.
