So, my daughter got married on Saturday. I was a damn hot mess for pretty much the entire day and well into Sunday. It was beautiful, if a little soggy outside, but we all made the best of it. Hey, at least we weren't ear-deep in snow, surrounded by yetis and Marauders looking to take our shinies, right?
 
We laughed, we danced, we cried (at lot) and saw family we hadn't seen all together in many a moon. It was wonderful, up-lifting and heart-breaking at the same time. All in all, I am glad and sad it's over. My baby is all grown up. *sniff*
 
But it's time to get back to work and not dwell on all that. I think my eyes have finally dried enough to be productive. And I'm hungry.
 
 
As for WildStar, I am kind of glad to see Shade's Eve wrapping up tomorrow and kind of sad to see it go. Mostly, I'm excited to see what's in store (see what I did there?) for Winterfest. Christmas is my favorite time of year next to Halloween and after seeing the awesomeness of Jack Shade, I am very anxious to see what our friends at Protostar have planned.
 
 
Gonna take it easy today. The office is in a lull and my feet still hurt from dancing. Can't wait to get home early and play some WildStar!
 
So, what's up Nexus? Busy weekend?

I spent the weekend alternating between lots of Shade's Eve-themed roleplay in WildStar and lots of BnS beta with the husband and a good friend of ours. I took way too many pretty screenshots. xD
 
It was roleplay time well-spent, though! I think it'll only take a few more days of grinding before I finish up the imbuements on my RP gear and max it's ilvl. Of course then I have to invest in new runes. I hear the Characterization and Massive Plot sets at ilvl 300 are kind of expensive. Doesn't help that I've picked some pretty unusual Characterization colors. But I'm gonna need to be ultra prepared for coming story bosses, so...
 
Also, have a drawing of Jack and Anne getting in the Shade's Eve spirit:

Just got started back into playing Wildstar after a long hiatus - coming back after the F2P drop was a great idea and supports my awesome casual lifestyle.
 
I also got a Snarflelynx finally yesterday after watching Trade Chat like a hawk. It's the one mount I really wanted and I'm so happy.

I'm actually taking a bit of a break from WS for the moment. I feel kinda bad since I have people waiting on me to do work on their plots, but at the moment I am having difficulty summoning the necessary mojo to jump out there and make more spaceships, and if there's one thing I don't want to do its half-a** a build project.
 
I've also been having some heinous lag issues that I can't seem to pin down. I thought it was the servers at first but I experienced the same effects on TOR. Then I called Cox but it seems everything is ok on their end. And my computer seems to be working fine and had perfect internet just a month ago before I moved to my current apartment. So really I have no idea where this is coming from anymore, but I refuse to do raid progression until I can figure it out and get it fixed, so I'll keep working on it. Hopefully I can figure it out soon enough.
 
In the meantime I'm enjoying TOR's new content, and I have no intention of raiding there for some time so the lag isn't as big a deal.

			That's the one thing I've noticed since coming back - I used to have decent performance even in places like Thayd, but now my FPS drops very severely, lots of visual lag. I tested dropping graphics to ultra low and I still was having issues so I wonder if it's something I have control over.

Big congradulations to your family, Tex! That's fantastic. I am glad to hear it was so enjoyable.
 
Indeed, it is a new dawn after the Shade's Eve. I don't know how to feel... it was much fun, I really enjoyed farming the instance. I kind of wish it was sticking around, just so I could keep doing it. I got a ton of decor from the Shade's Eve vendor, but oh god I spent way too much plat and renown on the housing vendor to grab some of those items, I never had a lot of cash and now I have a lot less! Hopefully selling off some of the extra items I got from the Shade's Eve instance will help make some of that up (and I predict a lot of shiphands in my future  :lol: ).
 
My Stalker just needs some of the new renown-previously-housing-challange-reward items, and a few more rocks and trees and odd items and I should be able to put the creepy idea I've had in my head, into space-reality!
 
I am also waiting to see what comes with Christmas; some snorting/chuffing Draken would indeed be awesome Khandi! Especially if they get horn-warmers. Like mittens, but for your horns!

Afternoon all,
 
I had a fantastic WS weekend. I hammered out a ton of levels Sunday 23 to 41  :D. Hope to be 50 before the weekend but i have a possible job interview to get ready for. Alot of research on Airwatch i need to do, which sucks cause if i could just sign up on the website without needing my company info i could do the training classes  :blink:.

Good evening! Joining in late for coffee, just finished work.
I had a great weekend too, got some leveling done. This week I'm starting to work more on my housing, it will sure take a while to make it what I want but it will be fun =)
Housing in this game is so epic =)
Hoping all of you are having a fun n games day! =)

Hello Everyone - 
 
Very nice weekend in Wildstar.  Did several runs of the Shades Eve expedition with Guild members.  Lots of silver earned and spent.  After a bit of a hiatus, the raiding circle is back in form and Saturday night we came so close to defeating Kuralak.  We had to learn a new strategy since the engineer strategy doesn't work in the first phase anymore.  By end of the night we had a handle on the fight, pretty confident we will clear the first floor entirely Wednesday night.  Sunday evening was just a lazy and fun time running content and chatting with Guild members.  During said chat, I came to realize my RP gear is lacking and I'll have a hard time running the RP dailies and contracts.  Going to have to rune some gear, I'll be chasing the Mavis Beacon set for 10% faster typing speed and 7% percent deflect typos. Probably go for the Rosetta Stone set next for the 8% increase to punctuation.  I want to be ready for the 20+ tavern brawl T3 RP contract.  Wish Antimony or Jack would create a drop 6 RP gear guide.

Didn't get much done this past week. I work evenings six days a week now so I often can't log on until late. I'm a night owl so that's no problem but it means less players are around when I get to play :(. Is anyone else a late night player on Entity-1 (Dominion)? We should stick together :). I'm generally online from about midnight to 2 or 3am PST.
 
I did get something I've wanted for ages, though! I've been trying to get that darn Scorchwing pet since I came back to the game in early June. I did every "kill SW" contract, gathered groups together to kill him on non-contract days, and then killed him dozens of times after F2P. They recently made the world boss pets bind on equip but I was still determined to get it the proper way. Early last week I was whining about never getting it (and at this point I've gotten pretty much every other SW drop, including lots of iLevel 90 gear) and of course it dropped that night :p. He's my little Moltres buddy.

			My best wishes for a lifetime of happiness for the young couple, Tex.  Congratulations, felicitations, commiserations on the emptier nest (there are compensations ;)  ) and anticipations, along with you, regarding Winterfest.
