Another year has come and gone. 2014 was "character building" for me. That being a euphemism to describe the terrible loss. Life goes on for most of us, and dwelling on the past benefits no one. Head up, shoulders back and eyes looking towards tomorrow. 
 
 
Yesterday, i finally made it into vet SSM. "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it." That fire boss... OMG! The group had tremendous staying power, but eventually had to admit defeat.

Anyone have any game resolutions? Less time playing with decorations and more time in raids (hah, as if)? No more alts (snorts)? More time in WildStar?! :D 
 
I'm going to run some RP events in the new year which I'm looking forward to, I've participated in a few so far and always had a great time. I love the community that has been set up, and I'm really looking forward to 2015. :)

Hi peoples, behold my resolutions for 2015:
 
Perform required activities at least 20% faster. Like WSChestnut, will try harder to rid self of all dallying in between activities. All seconds saved can stack up to 1 or more years of free time. Will try finish all unfinished home-projects so that others can be graced with the explosions trapped in my mind.
 
Also going to run RP events in 2015 to try get more roleplayers to experiment on.
Enjoy New Year's Eve! Going to watch fireworks tonight as inspiration for bomb upgrades.

No ingame resolutions.
 
I Rped a good while with Rocio's sister and her baby niece and nephew.
 
Luke the oldest, is a biter. Rocio enjoys wrestling with his son. But he bites hard on sensitive ears. But instead of scolding his son Rocio just laughs while saying "Ow!"
 
Lamaya really doesn't like this. Luke bites everyone now.
 
Aria is too young to do anything but eat sleep and be adorable. Oh and babble. A lot. Which isn't surprising. Both parents enjoy hearing themselves talk. Aria will happily chat with interesting inanimate objects.

My game resolutions :
 
- Read the forums first before I engage in a new system. Example : I could have saved me lots of time and plats by reading on the rune systems instead of going right into it. Like I would have saved plats by crafting my owns instead of buying from the CX, also like ended up having to overwrite runes I had crafted a couple minutes before. That plus many other mistakes. That said it really "wrote" the experience in my head for good  :lol: !
 
- I had others but I forgot, hopefully I remember them before 2016  -_- !
 
Other than that I resisted the urge to open "the one" today and will do tomorrow to celebrate the new year instead...
That said nothing "good" can come out of it since it'll either be something silly and everyone will laugh at me or something really good and noone will believe me  ^_^ !
(so hmmmm yeah, nothing "good" : forum-wise...)

Hmm, game resolutions for 2015....
 
I'm not sure I'd call them resolutions, but my goals are:
 
- Get all the remaining heavy armor crafting schematics for Nephele (including the archivos ones)
- Get my guild through GA and into Datascape
- Help my guild build a PvP team (once PvP gets "fixed")
- Make ThaydFest II and ThaydFest III even better than the original.
- Directly help at least 2 new players every month.
- Finish gearing/runing my spellslinger.
- Try to make at least one of my houses look halfway decent so that I don't feel so completely horrible every time I go look at the amazing things that people do with their housing plots.  I get house envy so bad, you guys have no idea.
- Get my esper to 50 and work on her tailoring.
- Play my warrior more than once a month.
- Finally try the stalker class.
- Finally level a medic past level 5.
- Keep having fun!

I am looking forward to all the community events planned for 2015, especially ThaydFest II!!!

WildStar resolutions, huh? Well...
 
- Find a guild by the end of the year (oof)
- Finish playing through Dominion-side
- Do veteran adventures and dungeons on my main
- Figure out what to do story-wise for my creepy cave housing plot
 
In real life, I have a few resolutions of my own that include...
- Either negotiate a raise enough at my current job that my husband and I can afford to move out of my parents' house, or find a new job that pays enough that we can live on
- Complete the novel my husband and I are working on and send it off to the agent
- Actually go to the gym regularly again (oops...)
- Draw at least two times a week (with the goal of bumping it up to more over time)
- Continue supporting my husband in his writing career. :3

Well, I'm officially on my way out the door (though perhaps not permanently, ball is in Carbine's court). Haven't done anything in-game the last several weeks so I think it's time to stop pumping quarters into this slot machine. I'll leave off for now with a happy holidays to everyone and hope you have fun playing whatever you play in 2015!
 
To the CRBs, you really need to make this game alt-friendly if you want it to succeed as an MMO. For the record I'm quitting WS specifically because the game is not alt-friendly (no BOA/carry-over), the vets/raids/pvp are inaccessible in this low-pop dual faction system (so tired of watching the Dominion struggle), and if you want to keep building cool stuff in housing you're required to spend way too much time on grind effort to get more decor.
 
That about sums it up, so on the bright side nothing that can't be fixed, but on the dark side I doubt any of it will be sincerely addressed in 2015. Maybe drop 6?
 
Take care and thanks for all the fish! ;)

In other news, all this talk of difficulty in vet dungeons makes me want to roll an exile so i can actually say id be happy to help run people through stuff. Dunno if i could handle the stench though :P

In my mind, vet dungeons generally aren't incredibly difficult. The trouble is with the, IMHO, ridiculous mechanics like the end of SC and the fire walls in SSM. Those are what give people fits.

In-Game Resolutions for 2015:
 
Finish all the research on all my crafters ... almost done with WS but some of the others are far more annoying (requiring alot of farming just for work orders)
Get attuned (should be done soon!)
Raid once a week
 
Resolutions I hope the dev team makes:
Releasing race changes (with or without faction changes, or the completion of all classes for all races) ... I desperately want to change some of my characters, and they're all 50 now (at least on dommy side)
Releasing the ability to change paths... I have discovered that I don't like the gameplay of anything but scientist, so I'd like to change my explorers and settler.

They aren't. Just keep trying. Eventually you'll get it. It's tough with SSM though because the queues are so long for it.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Right now, I have no intention of queueing again for SSM. That dungeon is just more than I'm willing to ask of complete strangers.

Right now, my only resolution is to not be sick anymore.  Turns out the cold I thought I had on Monday was the flu-shot-resistant strain of flu that's been tearing ass across the midwest lately.  It had me on my back for most of the last two days.  I was coughing so hard I pulled my abdominal muscles.  They're still tense from the cramping.  My throat's killing me, I'm barely awake, and my fever is shifting me back and forth between freezing cold and ridiculously warm.
 
Still, got the wife's computer all moved into her new tower.  And, finally, I'm going to be able to log into Wildstar tonight.  We're throwing a party on the Saddles if anyone's on!
 
I really don't have any resolutions for this year in Wildstar beyond getting the guild website into a presentable state and doing some more recruiting.  Hopefully, the returning players and hopefully some new incoming players will make the game a bit broader in the coming months.  Drop 5 is looking good on paper.  Things are looking up for us here on Nexus!
 
Really, though, I just want to spend the next year on Nexus having fun and making sure my guildies have fun.  As long as everyone's having a good time, that's all that matters.

			I have a friend who's 9 months pregnant and caught that flu. Ended up in the ER because the coughing had worn her stomach muscles out so much she was contracting constantly. They couldn't do anything for her, tho, except give her some IV fluids. Poor thing. She's doing alot better now, tho.

Ok.
 
I came up with a 2015 Wildstar resolution. I'm going to make a chua medic named Zub the WubWub, and he is going to be the DJ at the most EPIC CLUB NEXUS HAS EVEN SEEN.
