Well, this weird week is coming to a close and my WildStar Weekend is getting ready to start. I've been busy every night this week and haven't had a minute to log in.
 
I understand I missed something special last night in Thayd. :(  But ah well, getting my youngest ready to take off for four weeks with gramma took precedence. My son left on Tuesday to spend the month with my oldest daughter, who lives in Oregon and just finished her junior year at university up there. So the wife and I are going to have like ... 24 days without a child in our house for the first time since Ever. Looking forward to that, for no particular reason.  :o
 
What I have done is read a lot about Warrior tanking, different builds and I think, once I splurge and buy some runes, that I am ready to do it for real. Seems like a fairly simple rotation (that I've never used a single ability of before, ooops) and I'm a quick learner. Now, to perfect the "stay out of the red stuff" ... thing.
 
So tell me what you've been doing in-game this week. How was that event thing? Screenshots of cool stuff? Favorite things? Pie or Cake? FREE-FORM TOPIC DAY!!!!
 
So, until then, have a great day, Nexus! See y'all in-game this evening!

Morning!
 
I got to log in for like 5 minutes last night :( I've had some bad stuff happening with my brother. I'm really hoping things look better this week end.
 
Killing pixels in Wildstar is serious stress relief for me  :P

Good Morning Everyone. 
 
 
Well last night was kind of a fun train wreck. I had fun just watching everyone gather in one place and chat. But it was a train wreck with the fps issues and confusion. We all gathered in Thayd, then was told to go to Alogoroc. The taxi train was quite amusing. Got stuck for a minute when the taxis landed. I couldn't move till there was a break in the taxis landing on top of me. Went to the snowy area above Tremor Ridge to lag through 30 mins of watching a huge Anniversary rowsdower flicker in and out for the first 10 minutes, then have it turn into a purple one, then disappear. And the confusion and frustration was real.
 
Some got dc'd and couldn't get back on. Some couldn't log on at all. Some got dc'd, was able to log back in but had their communication stuff broke, so the couldn't do anything. Everyone had very little fps or was watching a slideshow. Myself, I had 4 fps at one time, but the average was around 8 fps.
 
I do hope they got some good information for server performance from this.
 
Sorry, I didn't take any screenshots. I was too busy being amused by some of the comments in zone chat. :) I went to this 'event' with the thinking it was a stress test and not expecting anything.
 
Tex is having a 'parent vacation'. I used to love those when my girls were little. They used to go to their dad's house for a month during the summer and few weeks during the year. I missed them like crazy while they were gone, though.
 
Missed you both this week. I do hope, Khandi, that things get better for you. /hugs to you!! Call me if you need to talk. :)
 
Have a great day and I will see you all tonight or this weekend.

Well, if nothing else, maybe we can do Early Morning Dailies and Shiphands on Sunday? I'll have to drive out to Schulenburg (HOME OF TEXAS' ONLY HAUNTED HOTEL AND THEATER!) on Saturday morning, to drop the girlie off at gramma's, but I should be home between noon and 2PM. But I'm all down for tonight, Saturday evening and all dang day Sunday!

I went and saw Jurassic World last night, which I liked a lot (not  usually my thing, I actually just watched the first one yesterday afternoon). Saw it in 3D which was pretty neat just for the effects, though I'm really not a fan of death / killing.
 
WildStar wise, I had put my baby medic alt on hold a few weeks back due to some IRL issues, had no time to play. This week I got a few chances here and there to dust her off, so she's finally level 30. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with her house. Today I upgraded it to the spacious aurin home (she's human but I love the design) and after the coffee thread yesterday I decided to let go of a few of my fabkits that I'm no longer in love with and am trying to pick up some new ones or I'll use the space for building, undecided! :)
 
I hope everyone has a really lovely weekend.

Haunted Hotel!! ZOMG!! Sounds like fun!!  :lol:
 
I will know more this afternoon/tonight about when I will be able to log on.
 
Hells yes I want to do stuff!! I'm beloved in NW and CB and I'm esteemed in Defile, roughly 19K out of 32K needed so that shouldn't take to long, especially if I can rally a group to do Gargantua everyday!
 
Then I suppose I will work on Guardian of the Grove, which according to Kitty may take awhile  <_<
 
I've been picking away at SCB, I'm not really sure why I'm so 'meh' about it.
 
I would really like to see Bay of Betrayal, is that on the attunement list? (I have all adventures and dungeons to do on vet).

Yeah, the Guardian of the Grove will take a bit to complete. You don't have many choices to get rep for them.
 
Bay of Betrayal is not on the attunement list. But I still want to do it. I heard it's a lot of fun. :)

Kitty said something about a "Fail Tree". Well I went out there and was running around and found the area and there was a datacube on the tree that I didn't have and it took me a couple of jumps and clicks to get it and I inadvertently set off set off the event  :ph34r:
----
			
What's Guardians of the Grove rep? Is that the Defile or something?
 
I've started hording those Protostar Rep notes, since I'd heard there was a faction that's rep was tough to come by. Figured I'd just save up a couple hundred of those bad boys and drop them on that one.
 
HAX!

Tex planning ahead?  Is the world about to end or something?  Is someone else posting using his name?
 
Got on last night for the event, did my SCB dailies first then hung out with Fitch in Team Speak during the event.  I got turned into a rowsdower during the event, but my appearance didn't change until I zoned back to Thayd.  I'll be on this weekend.  One more week until my vacation!  Come on Fitch and Khandi, I'll be off for a week,, looks like Tex will have some time, I smell a Wildstar marathon on a week day.

Tex, you missed nothing last night. It was pretty lame, tbh. Though a bunch of people went ballistic over it, I just kind of shrugged and move in. I guess we all have our flash points.
 
But what you missed was everyone going to one zone and watching a Rowsdower run around at 4fps for a while. It was like 20 minutes of the entire server standing around in one zone followed by "thanks everyone- hope you had fun"! LOL.
 
But we ran some dungeons afterwards, and THAT was fun.
 
Except for the part where we earned bronze but got no medal on SC :(	
----
			
I haven't been able to play Wildstar all week other than logging on briefly and doing little else. It has made my week rather dour. I have plans to make amends for that this Saturday as I'm going to do every daily, every contract, every everything possible in a day of celebration and MMO crackoutery.
 
I can't tell you how much I'm ready to get off work now.

I hereby nominate "CRACKEDOUTERY" as the official Word of the Day!

Morning folks!
 
Grove gives another Ability point.  The Tree event is a neat idea but it's far too easy for trolls to screw over a gold effort which requires a solid group.  It's just more efficient to get bronze.  I was a month too late to see it done right.  I think the Defile's 20+ public event was better laid out.
 
Been doing more dungeons lately.  I actually made it through most of Rayna Darkspeaker's firewalls (SSM).  Only died to the last one because we were too close to the wall it spawned from.  That's been a "no way in heck" mechanic for me so I'm really happy about that.  Still dying to Trogun's first set of blades but I've lasted longer than I have.  That one I know is lack of practice.
 
Discovered I had a Nature's Herald (energy shield) and bought a Berserker's Infusion (Weap. Att.) so I spent some time runing those out.  I re-rolled a few slots.  One was an upgrade, one was a "I can make that work" and one was a "hell no".  I can buy an upgrade for my Implant (Tainted Fangs vs. Swordmaiden's Vitara Serum) but I think I'll lose too much strikethrough.  Maybe once I replace my pants and shoulders I'll have some breathing room.  Regardless, finally cracked 3300AP.
 
Tonight and tomorrow night are raid nights.  Changed up my skills to add in stance dancing (just. shoot. me.)  Still not great at the new priority but hoping to see a good boost.  Was able to pull around 10k dps on dungeon trash when I didn't mess it up.  I'll adapt.  What worries me is that I have to drop a utility slot leaving me with only two.  Since I'm going to be one(?) of the Stalkers running BT I'm going to be down to one.
 
As for the rest of the weekend, thinking about running Pykke (engi) or Elsa (esper) through some PvP matches.  Pykke has an unruned set of blues, haven't yet gotten gear for Elsa so it'll likely be Pykke.

			Tex,you missed absolutely nothing. There was a taxi train which was kind of neat but we may as well have all stayed in Thayd. The area that Carbine picked to park their giant invulnerable rowsdower was an actual frozen and radioactive wasteland, and thanks to the server overload you would never get rid of the radiation poisoning debuff. And if you were fortunate enough to get turned into a sheep and jump into the water you would drown, because the models can't swim up. And then it ended and we were encouraged to raid the enemy capital, because we obviously hadn't put our evening plans on hold already to attend the non event. And the capitals are filled with raid boss robots who pwned the few people who were foolish enough to listen to Carbine twice!

I've never actually managed Grove gold myself.  It was always difficult to get a solid group for an event like that together on Evindra.  Right after the megaserver merge, Contajulie Prime used to organize the R-12 and Grove events almost nightly and we got close.  Just not enough people willing to be aware of the flyers.  Inevitably we'd lose a thingy to one of the birds because someone was inattentive.
 
Is okay though, don't care that much.
 
We had a good raid night.  Interrupted the completion of GA for The Event.  I think it was well intentioned but needed a skosh more planning and asset creation.  The radiation zone area was a bad idea.  And there was no event to The Event.  The most exciting part was the Realm Announcements.  Actually had a festival feel to it.  "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...NNN..NNN.nnn.nnnn"  "THE MOMENT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ... for... for".  That sort of thing.
 
But well intentioned anyhow, and maybe they'll start planning these things a little bit more in advance to put assets in place to do some cool announcements and celebrations.
 
Got back to GA and wrapped it up perfectly.  Got a tanking shield and the DPS gun off of Ohmna.  Would have preferred tank gun, but... oh well.  Offspec is no gear points :)
 
Enjoy your Friday folks.  Pants optional!

Apparently everyone is leaving the office at lunch time today, which is awesome. These are the things nobody bothers to tell the guy who's on his way out!
 
The only WildStar thing I want to do today is rune out the sweet new gear I got last night before the special fun event killed our roster. Got a good suggestion on the Medic forums so I'll see what I can do with that. I'll probably break 3k support power, which will be awesome!

Morning Ya'll,
 
Standard IT meetings and trying to decide how to set up the request to move some cubicles in our main office.  (I know exciting, right?)
 
Will dive into the game more when I get home, actually got my wife to do the trial as well.  Always loved this game, just never had the time to play until now.

I've got a fair bit to do this morning, but the afternoon shouldn't be too bad :) And, it should mostly involve taking my kiddo shopping (he leaves for camp tomorrow!)
 
Last night, after enjoying the cat parade, taxi train, and rowsdower shenanigans, we formed up or raid and finally downed System Daemons. After that, we explored a little bit, then we raided the glory gear vendor. The rest of the night was spent runing shiny new stuffs. FUN! Tonight, we'll finish up a GA we started a couple of days ago. Mostly though, I can hardly wait for Sunday's raid!! SOMETHING NEW!!! :D

Sending super positive vibes you and your family's way. *hugs*
 
Save for the ridiculous stress and confusion of the event last night, I did actually enjoy my day in WildStar. Husband and I logged into our Dommies intent on doing some more leveling, but a friend of ours logged in at almost the same time. We then decided to knock out the Drusera quests we had stacked up and go do whatever with him. Whatever ended up being PvP! :D I love me some PvP. Exiles were rocking it in Bloodsworn but every time Walatiki popped, it was just a steamroll by the Dominion, with their team 2-shotting pretty much everyone on our side. Not sure what was up with that. Oh well, I got two more pieces of PvP gear and runed them up, though I'm sure I'm runing them completely wrong...
 
After the... ahem... "event", Jack and I kinda piddled around feeling disappointed (a friend we'd been wanting to RP with ended up going to bed during the event). Farmed a few challenges for pets. Then we decided to queue up for SoTR, since we need both that and Malgrave for our attunement quest. Took a while, but we got an awesome set of people! Everything went crazy smooth, and we got GOLD! :D So that was cool. Nothing useful dropped, but eh.
 
I also decided that I need an Exile medic, so I can unlock their PvP set for costuming purposes, but I can't decide which appearance to go for. Thoughts?
 
 
Halp me choose, coffee people!

Get to go home an hour early from work so that's nice. 
 
Server event was a total flop. I didn't even get turned into a rowsdower. I still think the best thing they could have done was stack everyone up in a small area and then give one person near the center AIDS. 
 
I like that Contajulie (he used to be Perseus Veil) gets a mention in this thread! I miss the old days of R-12/GotG gold runs. I actually got a few of the GotG purples and used them for a while.
