Yesterday was a great day for RP. I was bored for a bit but then I got in touch with Karaaga and Windflower.
 
In case you've missed the entire saga, Rocio is a young male Aurin who's making great strides in learning about the Weave, expanding his Weave powers through Torine magic. He's nearly completely bound to the Godwood tree in Celestion and is so eager to learn more that he can't imagine returning to Arboria for more than a brief visit and he certainly doesn't want his children galavanting across the galaxy to retake that planet when he feels that there's more opportunity to learn and grow and get strong on Nexus, which he is taken to calling New Arboria in private.
 
These views are so radical, however, that many feel he's gone rogue, a heretic and borderline traitor that's under close watch by probably a lot of people. His behavior, being as he is a teen and full of the lust and angst that goes with it, has further sullied his reputation. A run in with Windflower Moondark resulted in a violent confrontation and many have condemned his actions.
 
Of course, Rocio feels like the victim in all this, but is powerless to do anything about it. In an effort to appease the grumbling masses, he requested a favor of one of his most loyal tribesisters. She's to act as matria in his behalf. She can work the Weave well, and he feels she'd be a passable stand in and could prevent any further violent confrontations with his kin. Sure it will work for a bit in a short term, but it won't be long before everyone else figures out that this 'Matria' hasn't gone through a single trial.
 
Yesterday, I had an idea for Windflower to have a private conversation and conflict outside Thayd. But it wasn't long before someone figured out where we were and immediately hoverboarded over to get a closer gander at the proceedings and participate themselves. Our scene was disrupted slightly and we had to break it and go away and fight another day.
 
As unpleasant as that sounds, it really is heartening to know that people are -watching-. Like this is some sort of TV show. "I see on my friends list that you and Windflower are in the same area. What's going on?" I didn't mind so much breaking up the scene and trying again later, I got that much satisfaction over it.
 
I'm recruiting Aurin and anyone else interested in Aurin based conflict to join the Wildseeds. I feel that public and private conflict is good for the RP community. It gives people in investment in the lore and the community. Please give me a mail or a whisper in game if your Aurin main or your Aurin Alt want to have a grand time.

Chua going to start new project in Roleplay: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/117178-chua-lore-the-moons-of-bezgelor
Chua think is going to be big project, and would really like to involve both Pappylicious and Community in this, maybe even make concept part of Lore if possible.
 
Unfotunately current week is bad week for WildStar. Many RL events eating up time. No time for WildStar.
Maybe play again on Thursday if lucky.
Chua also working more on Speech pattern, shifting words and structure, using lore as feedback.
Trying "peppered" sentences, not sure if working.
 
Happy with overal progress in game now. Guild growing, Raid progressing, fun increasing.
Maybe take down bit, cause feeling getting too much too fast.
But will see what happen.
 
Still working on Science Lab.
But Actually thinking of changing concept. With new faith idea, make more sense to build sect church instead.
Help to emphasize concept. Thinking of mixing Draken and Chua stuff into one and build club house for new faith.
Chua thinking about idea.

Different is good! Go for it!
 
One thing someone, I think it was Raltia, mentioned that Rocio is not that much different from any other Aurin. 
 
He just breaks the rules where it matters most, leading as a male in a matriarchal society, closing the gap between male and female Aurin magic using an outside belief system (Torine worship Vitara, not the Weave), and worst of all: losing his zeal for the fight for Arboria.
 
Just those 3 differences have provided 3 weeks of conflict so far, with no signs of slowing down.
 
Conflict may not be exactly what you're after as a goal but it's bound to happen if Chua RP is as passionate as Aurin RP.

Agree, like RP conflict very much. Not fought in RP for long time due to lack of villainous characters. May have to annoy someone enough to sate growing thirst for conflict and explosions. As modern skeptic chua that looks to future, hating past for personal reasons, may have some conflicts with Oli if he goes on religious path. Should be interesting.
 
Despite knowing most of chua Loremageddon info already, still got some new knowledge such as age longevity, bit of history and some physiology which was nice. Also enjoyed reading Granok stuff. Good to know your enemies.

Great to see all the RP going on =)  Rocio, at one point you had used my plot on Tekunin ("Garden of the Shapers") for an RP event for your group.  If you ever want to return, feel free to visit Tekunin Nevershade, as he is named now.  Any of my plots are also free to those looking to RP.  I haven't quite dived into it myself and I'm not very good at it - I wish I hadn't been so tied up in housing to miss the ThaydFest RP 101 class.
 
In WildStar:  Finally got my Grim-Grims imbued and had a hilarious Skullcano run.  That place induces madness and hilarity, especially when never-been-before guildmates end up being the sacrificial rowsdower.
 
Also super excited!  I wrote my first blog entry today, threw up a bunch of screenshots from my first character experience and stuffs.  If anyone wants to check it out, here's a linky - http://kelzamduskthorn.tumblr.com/post/101171951993/thaydfest-lifestyles-of-nexus-contest-winners
 
Happy Tuesday everyone!  Hope no one goes crazy from Wildstar hungering :p

G'morning everyone.
 
I find the saga of the Wildseeds completely fascinating.  Seriously, I eat it up every time you post about it Rocio.  My own Aurin character, Corriban, is way too innocent and naive to understand what's going on at all, so that's why you don't find me following you around on her when I have her on, but definitely like getting periodic updates on the storyline here on the forums :)
 
Oli, your project sounds really neat too!
 
I was really bad last night and stayed up until 2 am playing Beyond Earth after I got home late.  I am paying for that now.  Especially because work starts in 45 minutes.  Oi.  I need to learn to remember that sleep is not optional.
 
Tonight is an anti-Wildstar night (blargh, responsibilities) so I won't make it back in until Wednesday.  Even then I think my time will be cut short this week because I have to start moving things to the new house.  I have to be out of the current one by the 17th.  But I'll probably at least jump in and do some crafting.
 
We also finished posted the winning houses for the Lifestyles of Nexus contest yesterday, finally, if you guys haven't seen.

Mornin' all.
 
I'll leave the breakfast up to those of you who eat before noon. But, no coffee in the thread yet? For shame. :)
 
 
I'm honestly feeling like I'm in a rut with WS. I think I've just hit a burnout point, which is weird, because I'm playing WS far more casually than I have any other MMO.
 
Last night, as I was doing NW dailies, I was watching TheZone fluctuate between 9-10 Exiles for every 1 (and very rarely 2) Dominion characters on the list, and the frustration with the faction imbalance (and various other things) hit me like a train. I ended up logging out shortly thereafter.
 
It doesn't help that despite recruiting about 5-10 new players over the past two weeks, the Skullkickers roster has gradually been diminishing due to people just not logging on, which is really depressing as one of its officers. I realize that some of those players are actually people's Dominion alts, which I have no problem with, but I'm beginning to think recruiting Dominion mains is nearly impossible. It may be that there are simply too many guilds on the Dominion side for the number of people actively playing.	
----
			
I think the Dominion needs a new in-character recruitment video.  Maybe with a Dominion version of Kit Brinny (dark-haired, sultry, no freckles, and a slightly european accent).  Cover all the same things that Malvolio's videos covered, but emphasis on honor, purity, nobility, etc.  Put that up on YouTube as part of the game's re-launch and watch new players choose Dominion first.
 
Not really joking :)

I'd help with the population problem, Vick, I think, but Tex recruited me to be the Saddles GM before I turned into a full on Dommy.  I have had a similar problem with guild membership.  I've recruited a lot of people, but it's hard to keep people logging in on those characters when I have to spend so much time recruiting.  Which is better than the alternative; not recruiting and guild dessication.
----
			
The other day I saw someone recruiting for a brand new guild with exactly the same things we advertise about the Skullkickers. I just rolled my eyes.
 
I intend to keep up with recruiting, because I realize that's the only way that the guild will eventually get to the self-sustaining point. It's just a miserable process...at least as far as I'm concerned.
 
I may have to resort to chat spam, so fair warning! :rolleyes:

Guild-wise, it does get better if you're able to recruit enough to hit critical mass.  That's the point where the guild itself starts to attract new folks without you having to get out there and actively recruit.  Unfortunately it's impossible to tell when that's going to happen because it doesn't just depend on how many members you have online but how active and visible they are and how outgoing they are.  Even if you get to this point you still have to be prepared to get back out there and go on a recruiting blitz again if something happens.
 
The Daggers recently hit this point after ThaydFest and so we've backed off on recruiting via zonechat for a little while.  But with holidays coming up and people being able to play less, it's likely that we'll turn it back on at least briefly after Drop 3.  Ideally, that would put us in a really good place after the holidays numbers-wise, and enable us to start on GA as soon as our people are ready for that level of challenge, without having to fight the roster boss right out of the gate.
 
It's also important that the guild as a whole have a positive outlook.  Negativity will poison a guild just like a forum thread, and that can suddenly lead to people logging in less, which is never a good thing.  One of the reasons the Daggers run in-guild events nearly every day of the week is to help make sure that all of our own members are staying positive and having fun.

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?
 
Shouldn't come as a surprise that factions are imbalanced even with all the players pooled on a single server. Exiles are thriving though since the advent of the megaserver, I have seen very little roleplay. That's probably due to Killroy reducing the range of /say though. As for recruiting, Neph said it all and it usually how it goes. I used to plug the guild I am in when going around older zones while offering to help with group quests or setting up buff stations. However, with the megaserver, this is no longer helpful outside of early in the morning.. Plenty of people in the Exiles zone! Beyond that, in the case of the Daggers, it helps that we do a little bit of everything but we do it everyday.
 
Anyway, I had Special K with blueberries for breakfast. This week is back-to-work week so regular schedule will happen...except I am off on Saturday, for real this time!Mondo Zax! I am seriously getting the urge of getting this image tattooed on a shoulder blade. That's horrible xD
 
 
In WildStar news, things have been stagnant from a progress point of view. No new dyes, no new gears. I did hit beloved in the Northern Wastes and will hit beloved in the Crimson Badlands later today when the servers are back up. Last night, we ran Kel Voreth and, well, lots of hilarity happened at the Forgemaster. He throws burning saw blades which, apparently, go by a million different names all of which seemed to be NSFW, bwahahaha! The plan for when the servers come back up? Try and figure out what to do with my house plot. I thought about a spaceport but that's done to death. I thought about a market like you would find on Tatooine but without changing the ground to sand, it started to look like some festival you would find in Elwynn Forest. I am stumped as to what to attempt next.

You guys can always use the Bayou or the Shadowcaster if you want to have a private conversation. Most people wouldn't know to visit (and on the Caster might be kind of obvious if they were).
 
I didn't get to log in until later last night. Wife was having a partial meltdown because of work so I cooked dinner and tried to put her in a better mood. I didn't get to log in until 10:30 pm, and by then most people had logged out. I took care of some recruitment mail, then hopped Domside to keep an RP promise I'd made on Spenser. That cleared up, I'll be Exile side today all day. Obviously won't be doing a 0 to 50 TL;DR until tomorrow when they do it.

Breakfast: The usual cereal & OJ at home, banana and buckets of coffee at work.
 
Wildstar: No clue why I'm feeling better today I was a total slug last night.  Tier 3 thickets were back on the AH so grabbed one.  Been a long dry spell without survivalist xp, I almost forgot what it's like :lol:.  Headed over to the BHB and was getting ready to hang out when RL got in the way, so had to log (boo).  Came back a bit later but people wandered off after about 5 min.  Bounced over to WOW (reasons) for a bit.  Wasn't really feeling it there so back into WS.  There was a lovely discussion about Loremageddon Drop 2 so just planted her at the bar while that convo was happening.
 
Somebody tried to start some ERP and I was trying to figure out how to let them down easily IC, probably should have done it OOC.  Normally I would but it was one of the least creepy propositions I've had in about a RL decade.

Discounting those that need to be the boss... I think many are groups that prefer to maintain their culture or philosophy.  In my own guild we've had two attempted alliances fail because our respective attitudes were just different enough even though we were all considered "casual".  Our preference is to build instead of join.
----

Hi everyone :3	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
In short, "casual" and "hardcore" don't work as terms because they're highly subjective.  Casual means "anyone who plays at or below my level of play" and harcore means "anyone who plays at or above my level of play".
 
It's when you get talk of people "raiding casually" or veteran PUGs being "hardcore".  They're absolutely meaningless distinctions in real game terms.  There are people logging on a few hours every couple nights to raid and people logging in every single day for eight to ten hours to spend on housing.
 
Generally speaking, hang out with people who are relaxed and laid back.  Nothing's fun when people are being pricks.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, that's true, there are a lot of different styles out there.
 
One thing I've started trying to do is to avoid the word "casual" at all costs when talking about guilds.  I've seen guilds that raid 4x a week advertising as "casual".  In my mind, if you're running 4 raids a week, that's not really casual.  I think people just equate "hardcore" with "jerks", so now everyone wants to be "casual", because that means "nice".
 
Either way though, "casual" was always a really overly generic term anyway that could mean anything from "only can play X hours a week" to "people who aren't in a hurry to progress through content", so we shouldn't use it.  It only confuses discussions.  In fact I should probably go edit it out of the Daggers guild recruitment post.
 
On alliances, at least for the Daggers we kind of view it like dating.  We'll talk in a chat channel, maybe go on a few dungeon runs together or an RP event, see how it feels. If we end up logging on every day looking for the other guild so we can go off somewhere and have a party, then the alliance will work.  On the other hand if we're like "oh, hey.  You're still here?" then it didn't really work out and we're back on the prowl.
 
That said, our current allies (the Blazing Saddles and Veritas) are awesome people, but that is also more of a complementary relationship than a supplementary one.  Then again, we're not really in the market for a supplementary ally since we're nowhere near Datascape yet :)

A really appreciate the offer however we need a common ground for the two opposing parties to meet. The conflict has grown more passive aggressive due to the intervention of Authorities. That's why Roci and Wind are not at each other's throats constantly. What's more, Rocio is a rebel, not a villian, and will not actively stalk Wildflower without significant provocation... which she is avoiding. He onlu acts violently in self-defense or in the heat of passion.
 
At the moment we need a new log to add to this fire. Part of the reason for pushing to recruit.

It's been getting a little harder for me to log in to WS lately and that "burn out" feeling is creeping on me as well if I'm being honest. Weekends tends to be a bit dry (Dominion side anyway) inherently it seems, but had a couple in and out of game losses lately that really just kinda knocked the wind out of my sails. In addition to that work has been killing me lately as well and all i feel like doing is sleeping. Maybe it's just overall stress from a number of outside things and I need vacation time and stepping down/opting out of duties.
 
I'm a very community oriented person myself so I try to help as many as I can, but only one person. I want more people to login more often in and out of guild...I miss them...
 
eh...maybe try an event. I've considered advertising in zone, much as I hate that, but might help get more like minded folks together easier...

If the kickers need more Chua, I will happily detonate leave current guild and Join them :3

They'll probably see if this becomes a money transfer method.  I don't think it will; the game just doesn't have the population for that.
 
But in the future it might disappear.  Or when people stop complaining.

{| class="blockquote"
Hopefully the free transfers, both ways, will silence people whining about server population. If this does not fix underpopulated servers, it will more than likely finish them off Mortal Kombat style.

When the only major argument against a decision like that is player epeen...yep, it was about time they gave in. Especially when so many PvP server players were even saying "yes, we said that bothered us, but not at this cost."
 
 
I'm really hoping Carbine has plans to market the game like crazy once the major QoL changes are live. They need a major reversal of public image for an influx of new players to happen.

[V]eteran dungeons are still too difficult to pug so I can see people complaining about it again. Double-edged sword, really. Dungeons being pug-friendly would make it better when you feel like queueing solo but would probably make them way too easy for non-pug groups.

I'm a very community oriented person myself so I try to help as many as I can, but only one person. I want more people to login more often in and out of guild...I miss them...
 
eh...maybe try an event. I've considered advertising in zone, much as I hate that, but might help get more like minded folks together easier...
