Good morning, coffee folks! Breakfast this morning consisted of a banana-mango smoothie made fresh this morning at home!
 
 
Hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday! Also hope Santa was nice, and everybody got to spend quality time with the folks that are important in their lives, because that really is all that matters, in the end.
 
Yesterday in WildStar, I worked a bit on filling out my Achievements/Lore/Map for various areas. Sunday let me finish Northern Wilds (the pre-Algoroc area), Everstar Grove, and Algoroc. Yesterday I got about halfway through what remained for me in Celestion, mainly challenges and general Exploration achievements. It's my goal to finish out as many of these as possible, so if they ever implement vanity items for achievements, I'm ahead of the game. ;) Also, YAY COMPLETIONISTS! I also worked a bit on filling out my cooking tech tree some more, and cried over the pain and the grind and the cost. But I can almost hit the targets on the level 50 foods! So it's worth it!
 
Last night, the Daggers were able to get three Veteran KV runs together, and killed Trogun Man! twice. So very proud of the guild, and our progress. This weekend, we're going to be trying Skullcano for the first time!
 
Real life, is, well, real life. There's too much to do, and too little time to do it in. I got Skyrim Legendary for myself from the Steam Sale, and want to play more, but it's a tad difficult to find the time. And then hubby got me Torchlight (the original), and we want to play THAT, too!
 
So much to do. So much I want to do. And not enough time!
 
Oh! And before I forget, everybody on Entity (Dominion and Exile) should check out the Lifestyles of Nexus II housing competition and pimp it to their friends! What could you win? Cold, hard, WildStar cash! Roll in the plat! Turn it into Silver and make a pile of it to roll on! *ahem*
 
So, what has everyone been up to in game? :)

Siiick.... *flops*

*flops more*
 
RPing in Wildstar.

Last night, I spent the whole night leveling with my wife.  There's something really relaxing about playing with her.  Maybe it's because she likes rolling a healer, so I've got a pocket healer with me.  Maybe it's because I know she likes to slow down and read everything so I'm never in a hurry to do anything.  Maybe it's just playing a game I like with a woman I love.  I'm not sure, but it's always a blast to just lay back and relax.
 
As I've related, last week was pretty insane, and I'm kind of glad to be back at work.  I really needed a break from this vacation.  So last night was therapeutic.  I got to just lean back and, instead of working to organize things or recruit, I just played the game.  It's magical that way.  Some people hate the leveling process; I love the leveling process.
 
Also, my brother, the Stack, kicked off a 7 day free trial.  He'd be a tremendous asset for the game, I think, and especially for me and the guild.  He's a lot of fun to game with and, as I've mentioned, has been a support-role Jesus in other MMORPGs.  I'm hoping he sticks around.  Generally speaking, if we're both playing a game, the third brother will eventually come along.  He's a little more intense than we are, but he's a lot of fun to be around.
 
But the best part about last night?  Hearing my wife and Koob jawing about dyes and costumes.  I think my wife has become a sort of addict and now she wants to get to 50, for no other reason than because I linked her to Beattlebilly's dye list.  Now she wants all the dyes.  We've just started the process of upgrading her computer, and a new tower case is on its way.  The next step for her is a giant core upgrade to her processor and motherboard.  We're just a bit worried about how her hardware is handling this game with only one operating fan on some comparatively old hardware.
 
See you on Nexus!

Good Morning Everyone!
 
Had a wonderful 4 day weekend, sort of a mini-vacation. Did lots of skyping on Christmas day with my other 2 daughters (ones in Louisiana and the other is in Vermont), my Mom and my niece's family (who all live together in New Hampshire), and with my father-in-law (who lives in Florida). My Granddaughter (3 yrs old) made sure to wait to open her presents from me and my husband until we were skyping. She absolutely loved the LeapFrog LeapTV Educational Active Video Game System and dance video we got her. Her parents don't game at all, so I have to start her early LOL.
 
Other than that and Christmas dinner and presents at my house, I played WildStar all weekend long. Finally got SpousalUnit to 50 and really started working on my house plot. It's coming along, but won't be done for a while yet. Spent way too much plat on new gear and runes :)
 
Thinking I will need to find a new guild soon. 99% of the time, it's just me on. I have been staying with them hoping more would come back and/or join. Not looking like that's going to happen any time soon with the leaders not logging in at all. 
 
Well, time to get some work done. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

It's too bad you're a Chua and I'm an Exile. :(

{| class="blockquote"
Actually I am an Exile Human. Had to change factions due to the mega servers and guild rules of not having 2 rival faction guilds on the same server. So we all went Exile. I just haven't changed my forum picture because I like how my Chua looks :)
 
EDIT: Okay went back to using my standard picture until I can get a good one of SpousalUnit.
 
I can put a better spin on it, I think.
 
Mr. Fitch and I were captured by a gang of Chuas when we were exploring a dangerous part of Nexus. After being in captivity and experimented on for months, Mr. Fitch was blown up by an experimental bomb that the Chuas were trying to perfect. It was suppose to be a timed delay detonator but when the Chuas strapped it on him, it went off, blowing up most of the compound. During the chaos, I was able to escape and made it back to Thayd.
 
Now, I am recovering from the shock of losing Mr. Fitch and all the experiments they did on me. I am floundering around looking for a group of people who I can call friends and to start a new life.
 
Hopefully that is a much better story :rolleyes:
----
			Sounds like Fitchs experiment was a success because why blow something up later when you can do it now?

The sinus whatever that has been building over the past several days is getting worse. >_< If it continues up to the 4th, that'll be a great way to go back to teaching my kids...
 
Last night, I refined the latest addition to my main's housing plot (Antimony Stibine - Spaceship Crashed) and then worked a whole bunch on decorating my Cassian's classy manor (Eilor Corvinus - Corvinus Manor). Then I ran out of gold. D: Oops. Dunno how I'm gonna get all the portraits I need, or the other housing items... definitely need to farm up 10k renown for a couple dominion wall scrolls, too. >_< And figure out just what the heck to do with the outside.

I've been alternatively logging in to RP and "flopping" into bed all day long... .... ungh... here I go again...

*stumbles into the coffee thread*
 
Woo... what to say?  Managed to RP my main into a (thankfully limited) corner.  Been doing dailies on and off OOC'ly.  I might be able to finish Defile rep this week.  I can get close with NW & CB, but ... dailies.  I'm getting sick of them.  It did give me a chance to dust off some alts and RP with them.  (Still not really feeling the Granok vibe <_<)
 
RL has thrown us a few curveballs, nothing major but just enough that my head isn't really in the game at least as far as tackling end-game content.  OTOH, the RP has been a blast.  Now that I'm staring at the Great Wall of Attunement for the second time here if it wasn't for the #WSRP crowd I doubt I'd still be around.

I know the feeling. When i happen to run into the GM, she tells me it's just the holidays. Yesterday, i asked myself when the holidays are officially over so i can declare the guild legally dead.
Over the weekend, i actually made it inside vet SSM (i thought it was a myth like bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster). My excitement was quickly dashed though when the tank said he wasn't running with noobs and wanted to abandon. One of the DPS vouched for me, but still no-go. We wouldn't abandon so the tank dropped. At that point, we had no choice but to disband. 
I knocked out the last shiphand that my Esper needed. Turned out to be the one in Algoroc.
Last night, i was back on Farside on my Mordesh Warrior. Put together a group to do the bounties. Had two groups for the one target.

Glad you enjoyed your mini vacation! :) I did a lot of Skyping over the holidays as well--it stinks not being able to visit family, but at least thanks to technology it makes it easier to stay connected. 
Hurrah! Grats on 50! :D That stinks that it's just you online, that's never fun. :( I hope it's just a holiday thing and more of your guildies come back!
 
That's a pretty awesome story, actually. :D

{| class="blockquote"
Thank you :)
 
 
Hope you both feel better soon! *Hands over some internet chicken noodle soup*
 
This has been going on since the mega servers hit. People just stopped playing or switched to other games. Even the forums have been dead :(
 
What is your in-game name? I will add you to my friends list, or you can add me (SpousalUnit Fitch).
 
I am always in the WSRP channel. As for it not working for you: I use Killroy for my chat and have to recheck the WSRP channel sometimes when I log in, but no other issues with it. Maybe something like Killroy could work for you (if you don't use it)?

Oh, I was talking about the actual website they run on Enjin. XD
 
I'll message you my account name.  It's hard to know what character I'll be on at what time.  If nothing else, though, I'll be on Houngan Seeger doing my mercenary thing.  I like to run out and just randomly help people clear group quests.  I'm like a blood-drenched voudon Santa Clause!
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Ahh ok. I didn't know there was a website. Hmmm even old dogs, like me, can learn new tricks!
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, I think this is who runs it.  I'm not sure since I'm not in the channel nor is the Enjin site working, but they're both still active.
----
			
Afternoon snack: Coffee cake and coffee - just because I forgot to bring coffee and breakfast with me earlier :)
 
 
Looking forward to getting home, eating supper (I'm starving LOL), then playing some WildStar. I need to finish up Southern Grimvault for my path stuff, then I can start doing all the good, fun things level 50s do - dailies!
 
50 minutes to go!!!

Feel better Rocio!
 
I um....hrm.  I'm not sure what else to say in this thread right now.  It's monday.  I'm not working, but neither is my brain.  Maybe I need a smoothie.  At the moment I am debating whether I want to blow all of my spellslinger's platinum on runes or try to improve his gear a bit first.
 
Hope everyone's having a great day! :D

I wish I could take part.  For some reason, WSRP hasn't been allowing me in almost since launch, but I don't know why or what happened.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Sad to hear about that vet SSM run :(. Id say DD would help you but you're a filthy exile so theres nothing we can do :P

{| class="blockquote"
 
WSRP worked fine with an established Enjin account. If your account is locked, I'm pretty sure you'll need to have a chat with the Enjin folks. Anyway... It's not on the site, it was more random bar RP.  If you run into her I'm sure she'll tell you all about it.  Heh.  (Sealed encounter suits FTW).
 
 ;) Well, that RL curveball has just unraveled and things are getting to be more of a mess. I may have to go out of town for a few days.
