The Nexus Report TL;DR has been replaced by the 0 to 50 TL;DR, and the topic tag has changed.  Since the streams will contain somewhat less information and more playback, I almost decided to call it the 0 to 50 Commentary, but that seemed too long.  I will continue doing these, because this stream was well over an hour and a half long and they ARE taking questions, so there is information in it.  However, I will be commenting on the hot, wild, sexy on screen action.  Oh wait... Granok Female Warrior/Soldier didn't win.  Well, I'll cover whatever won.  Today's guest will be Cory Herndon, Lead Narrative Writer and the voice of Phineas T Rotostar.
 
We open with Tony staring blankly in another direction.  I think his mother is telling him he needs to clean his room, he says he's doing his homework, and he's staring at a female Aurin instead.  We've all been there.
 
-Tony describes that though all of us started at level 1, he is starting completely at 0.  Meaning he must have played his last video game on a Magnavox Odyssey.
 
-He will be playing this character which we voted for.  The faction choice was separated by two votes.  The winning choices are an Exile Aurin Spellslinger/Explorer.  He correctly surmises that we wanted him to play an explorer so we can watch him missing jumps.  He will be rolling on Entity because he would be the most high value target on any PVP server.  Warhound may have then depopulated Luminai.
 
-Tony creates a Mystique knockoff with eyes that are just close together enough to look like her parents might have been a little closely related.  He seems a little surprised with the ear choices.  He has obviously never played/seen an Aurin before, which means he probably hasn't played the game much, since they breed like rabbits.  Or wallabies.  She is, unlike most Aurin, a brick house.  She's letting it all hang out.
 
-Again, the Nexus Report is not dead, it will be held before major content drops and updates.  With the new schedule on drops, they wouldn't have enough to talk about for an hour per show if it was a talk show.
 
-The character's name is Toe Knee.  Clever.  Tony then watches the opening cinematic.  He relates that he is on a green screen and had to put black tape on his hat to cover the green underside of the bill.  He says it's because he loves us.  We think it's because he forgot how green screens work.
 
-Tony just doesn't love Kimber Gaming enough to be on a PVP server.  I don't even love him enough to know if I spelled it correctly, or if I even got the right gender.  Someone loves Tony, though, as there is a "Stream Stalker" waiting for him when the cinematic ends.  He relates that he wondered when he would see someone dancing in front of him.  I'm surprised there's only one.
 
-Obviously, Tony only loves Cory Herndon, and the two share a loving embrace.  He will handle Q&A.
 
-Cory became the voice of Phineas T Rotostar because he filled in during development when the Protostar guys sold skills.  He then muscled his way into the role later.  Tony is now backed by a small posse of players.
 
-Cory describes that he is in charge of writing lore.  Who knew?  He did say they have a small team of editors who help to fix his spelling errors.  In the beginning, it was just Tony and Pappy and a small team of content writers.
 
-Tony is playing on a mouse he doesn't like.  He pitches a showbiz hissy fit because this mouse just ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!  He's importing his from his house.  Non gets snarky, but obviously didn't read Tony's rider.
 
-Tony's sociopathic tendencies show.  HE IS ADDICTED TO THE POWER OF SPELL SURGE!  He doesn't care that Sadie Brightland is dying in the next room over!  If she dies, the game is over, and the stream will be gone!  Tony's gang now comprises the entire racial rainbow.  They're about to star in a kids' TV show.  Tony is getting friend requests and party invites, but turns them down.  He's that Mass Solo-player Online RPG gamer the devs talk about.
 
-Lemurian's question gets taken.  Cory cannot do the entire show in the voice of P. Rotostar, though he does some hilarious lines.  He would like a clone for spare parts.  He is also a sociopath, apparently.
 
-Tony emphasizes that it's a good idea to ask questions the guest and he can answer.  He will do his best.  They cannot give dates, because by now, video game companies know better.
 
-Klover's question gets taken.  I repeat, Non, KLOVER's question gets taken.  There have been settlers on Nexus for a few years, but the people on the Arkship have been in cryo for three years.  It has been 300 years since the Cassian civil war.  Tony demands his posse be called a "gang".  He probably shouldn't do that in L.A....
 
-PGGR's question is taken.  He says the hardest lines to do are the long ones because it takes so much air to do the voice.  The easiest was, "Ahoy hoy," famously the line Alexander Graham Bell thought should be used to answer the telephone.  Let it not be said I'm not a fount of knowledge.
 
-Tony mentions the PVP war on Warhound at Farside.  Protostar does not hold grudges, they hold attorneys on retainer.
 
-Non helps Tony out with a helpful tip!  If you are confused, you can read the quest log!
 
-Bazeleel's question is taken.  They have not rewritten the story around a different delivery of the lines by a voice actor, but they've fleshed out more lore from the character taken from those portrayals.  Apparently, Frost's voiceover work on the Lopp modeled a LOT of the Lopp.  Tony reminds Cory that Frost is dead.  Remember to always look both ways when crossing the street, kids.
 
-LEVEL 2!!!!!!
 
-Tony jumps into the abyss and lands on a platform.  Nice lucky jump there, Tony.  Gravity will win eventually...
 
-Tony takes my question and gives me a shout out!  I asked about whether they would keep the important narrative elements in the solo content as they have been doing rather than keeping it in the raids.  Cory takes the opportunity to nearly spill the beans on something related to solo content.  Do it!  DO IT CORY!  GO HOWARD BEALE ON THEM!  Oh well, we'll get him next time.
 
-Norcroft's question is taken.  There are more galactic aliens in Exile cities because they are more accepting.  The Dominion wants a tighter grip.  Tony thinks he's got jumping skills.  Tony ain't seen nothin' yet.
 
-Protostar clones can eventually build a personality around their "personality templates", which are laid on them to give them drive to do their jobs.  When they develop more personality traits, they get a new template that wipes their previous experience.  Why does Protostar remind me so much of working at Target?
 
-The Lopp hitched a ride to Nexus.  Everyone likes them.  BECAUSE NO ONE EXPECTS THE LOPP REVOLUTION!
 
-Cory leaves.  Community news kicks off.
 
-Thaydfest is mentioned!  It was great for us who were there.  Personal thanks to Nephele who organized it at the highest level and for letting myself and my <Blazing Saddles> participate.  Also to all the other guilds and people that helped either with donations or their time.  He shows some screenshots of our costume contest.  In the second picture, that's me working security on the hill in the glowing green trenchcoat.
 
-He also mentions the Farside rumble on Warhound again and shows a snippet of it.  It looks insane, and must have been a lot of fun.  Congratulations to the Warhound folk on their event.  They are looking to throw another soon.  I think Warhound folk should be there.
 
-Tony says that if you are putting together community events, let him know!  He wants community guests on the show sometimes and he wants to spread the word through the stream of anything cool we're throwing.
 
-Tony mentions giveaways.  Right after the fan art, he will be giving away Rowdower plushies.  Why did I have to miss the stream at the time because of the damn meeting about life safety?!  We don't need life safety!
 
-Tony meets Belle Walker.  DEACTIVATE THE BOMBS!... oh...shinies....  Tony should have played a Lopp.
 
-Tony takes more questions.  He states that Carbine actively monitors ALL server populations, and Carbine has reviewed the data, and Luminae seems fine by their metrics.  So if you want to roll on Luminae, go ahead and roll there!  There seem to be people, they just need stirring.
 
-Tony will be doing the shiphands on the stream.  He also loves a good leaf massage.
 
-Zenoen's question is taken.  Carbine is "talking about" the ability to change race and/or faction.  It is on the table for conversation, and they do talk about its pros and cons.  However, it hasn't gotten past the discussion phase.  He does say they will eventually add all classes to all races, but that will take time.  That has backing already though.  They also want to add new emotes.  It isn't planned yet, but Tony likes that idea, especially /brb.
 
-Tony'd hit that, Belle Walker.  Just sayin'.  /brofist.
 
-Tony is offered bodyguards to back him up if he rolls on Warhound.  Something tells me that would touch off the largest PVP event in the game every single Tuesday.  People would schedule around it.  He should do it.  Even the CRBs seem to agree.
 
-Tony says he's pretty damn good at jump puzzles.  Apparently he's not good at regular puzzles.  Activate the teleporter, Tony...
 
-Tony hits his first bug!  He showed up under the platform on the Arkship!  And the peasants of the chat stream rejoiced.  Tony thinks he'll really like spellslinger.  He'll like it a lot better when he starts using Charged Shot.
 
-Tony does say he does plan on eventually raiding on this character.  It will be a while.  He's still only level 2.  Disgraceful.  When I was his level, I was level 4.
 
-Tony would have rolled Chua had Dominion won.  Since Exiles won, he had to go with the highest voted exile race, which was Aurin.  His favorite combination is still Granok Warrior.  Tony is hopeless as an explorer goes, though.  Hit the switch to activate the platforms, Tony...  Hit the switch....  HIT THE *cupcake*ING SWITCH....!
 
-He will highlight cool addons in the stream as he checks them out.
 
-Tony finally gets up on top of the asteroid.  Welcome to the Explorer world.  Tony has no ETA to get to 50.  That's a good idea.  This could take a while.
 
-The fan art segment begins.  There is no music.  RIP Frost.  Email your fan art to fanart@wildstar-online.com.
 
-This will be a weekly stream.  He will be leveling a bit outside of the show so that it doesn't drag on.  There will always be a different dev guest.  Next week on Monday, Tony will release a highlight reel of today's stream.
 
-The codeword to win the Rowdower plushie is "Aron".  Non comes in to let everyone know Deadeye's first name only has one "a".  BigV wins a plushie, but is disqualified for corruption, using his position to try to receive goods to which he is not entitled..  He will go on to be a MP in Dehli.
 
That's it.  We're done until next Tuesday.  Tony, open your damn boomboxes!

Damn I wished I could have watched this! I really wish there was a way to go back and watch from beginning to end and not just highlights!
 
Great job Vic! As always, great commentary and your humor always has me laughing! Thanks for sharing this!

			I freaking LOVED that protostar response. Made my day.

Thanks for the recap! 
I was sad that I had to leave mid-stream, but hopefully I'll be able to watch the next one!!	
----
			Thanks for the tl:dr, much appreciated. Even if there isn't much of any news, it's still fun to read with your own humor put in. Gotta say that the war on farside was great, even if laggy (at first). I hope that becomes a weekly thing and the thing Warhound is known for. (no, not mindless mosh-pits you negative nancies, but rather community events that reflect the server as well, pvp)	
----
			I was dancing for Tony when he came out of the cinematic too! Dangit Vic, the details matter when you're the only journalist! =P	
----
			
OH my ... He didn't get off the Arkship.
 
I'm a horrendous backseat gamer. I would die watching this.
 
Good info on the lore: tidbits:
 
3 years in Cryo... Noted.  Not that it will make a huge difference in my character's backstory.

			in all fairness he is interacting with the guest, playing the game, and reading/ answering questions. thats not something anyone can really do.in the future Tony, leave the guest to handle the community and questions. focus on actually playing. that way you dont have to worry about asking a question that the guest is not prepared to answer

This would be hilarious! 50 exile healers trying to keep Tony up while 50 dominion stalkers keep back stabbing him! LOL

{| class="blockquote"
Or he could keep going and only get a level or two a day. I won't complain. Keep the show going longer and give me more to make fun of! He wasted like fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to climb up the asteroid.

Another hilarious TLDR.  Thanks Vic!

That's really upsetting. The whole Luminai community is down. All the guilds that are here kind of bunkered down forthe long haul. We will recover slowly, yes. But seriously, when you search gear by stat, put in "moxie" or "insight" and press filter and there's not a single item in some of the categories (like boots, gloves, chest), when someone can get away with putting only one chest for sale for 80 platinum, when I started to gear up trough elder gems, when there's very few guilds and everybody knows each other (it's especially dire on the dominion side) and when you come over to Jabbit and see the place absolutely full of people, it is not right. The population is simply not right. We will welcome every and each new comer. And I'll try to hide the facts away from them in hopes that they won't reroll. But it's going to be a tough winter. And if they don't even acknowledge that the server is having some tough time... It's kind of like getting an insult thrown to your face.

{| class="blockquote"
*sigh* I guess we can't even have fun in the TL;DR threads.
 
So population is fine according to all the metrics, but nobody does any content and nobody sells anything on the AH/CX?  I'm not sure if your message is coming across quite the way you think it is.

			... It's not your opinion that's bothersome. It's the fact that you're putting it in this topic and not the one that already exists.

I'm more bothered that chua got a heck tonne more votes than stupid aurin. I don't want to watch him running around levelling a stupid female aurin, it's just so off-putting to me. So broken having a faction vote then a race vote. Why not just vote race :'c
 
Chuas are so much more fun to watch, they are so expressive in their little personalities.
 
Thanks for the TL;DR Vic and keep it up, I probably wont be able to sit through the aurin butt for weeks on end :P
