Morning!
Today's breakfast was eggs over easy with sliced avocado on top.  No picture of that, but I did find this:
 
 
Mmm...that looks even better than mine.
 
Today's musical theme inspired by the Mechari:  
Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd.
 
Tonight, I think I will play my mechari medic for a bit and let my army of alts get rested up!
EDIT:
I don't have a screenshot of the mechari in question, but I do have the one that I originally made as a joke:
 
I used her exact same model code to create Teptris.  The Eldan Gold dye is her friend.
 
-T.

Hi Tepi! :)
 
I think Scott was trying for a "WS topic of the day" for MC to keep us Wildstari.
 
Maybe edit and add something?
 
I like the picture.  It is an interesting idea.  What spice profile?  Standard southwest?  Only thing I see that might make that picture better is a dollop of sour cream ( or crème fraiche ), a hit of hot sauce ( your choice ) and some fresh cilantro. ;)	
----
			
I think today we should further discuss something that we started to discuss at the end of Yesterdays so it can get wider discussion range!.
 
CONSPIRACIES OF WILDSTAR!
Conspiracy 1.) Avra is Axis in Disguise -
They have the same VO and Build (Yes I know Mechari and Mordesh basically share a model.) They both have similar jobs with in their factions, and how easy would it be for a true master spy to infiltrate either side. Have you seen Avra's face? No neither have I.  She's creating strife for her own amusement.
 
Conspiracy 2.) Sadie Brightland is a Dominion Spy -
Many believe that is/was a Dominion Spy. That she may not be dead, that she might have been extracted from the crash. She's not dead til there's a body and even then with the writers taking a very comic book approach .. she could still be alive!
 
Conspiracy 3.) Emperor Myrcalus  is Dead -
You don't actually ever get to meet him and when it's revealed he's not on ship he goes oddly silent and stops being more than Idle when Axis walks out from the shadows. Popular Conspiracy Axis has been running the Dominion in the stead of a dead emperor, using Hologram tech to keep the people thinking he's alive. 
 
 
Discuss these below, or what's your favorite Wildstar Conspiracy I left out. (remember if your conspiracy includes late game use the spoiler tags, these are all things that get covered before you're level 10 above..	
----
			
How about perhaps that YOU Scott wish to convert everyone to the ways of Draken and join Skulllkickers? ;)
 
:D	
----
			
Seriously.
 
Still getting the word out about the Wildseed tribe. I'm starting to the like recruiting. Hahaha!
 
The first meeting of the Wildseed Tribe went off well. It was predictably small. I'm just happy people showed up at all, considering how fast the plans were made. xD But even in that tiny audience I was so nervous.  Good thing I scripted most things before hand. I looked waaaaay better as a event coordinator than I felt.  Copy-paste and go!

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Raw diabetes for breakfast again! Froot Loops rage.Last night, I went after both Metal Maw and the Hoarding Stemdragon world bosses out of boredom. Fellow Skullkickers joined in as the bosses died gruesome deaths. We all wished that we could have claimed a trophy to be put in a guild hall but alas, no such things as trophies exist. Instead, I give you this picture (well aware of the low resolution and bad shot. I suck at screenshots).
In other WildStar new, I am slowly but surely running out of things to do. Adventures seem pointless to do outside of achievements and reknown. I am at the elder gem cap for the week so dailies are nothing more than currency. Sigh.Also, I did Stormtalon two days ago and I could have sworn that Avra Darkos was the one guiding me...but the tag said Axis Pheydra. There is some credit to that conspiracy. As for Sadie Brightland, that would be epic. Planting a spy this close to a famous Exile character? Finally, Emperor Myrcalus being dead would not surprise me. He probably went insane like most of the early Luminai prototypes and Axis Pheydra locked him in cryostasis or something like that.More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!	
----
			
Looks like coffee for breakfast until we have hashed out the weekend plan. Probably will not be playing wildstar today.
Last night I tried out things on the PTR. Some nice medic buffs, and free monies and rep so I could play with all the crazy housing stuff. The draken witchcraft sign is neat. Not sure it is 20000 rep neat, but if that is the only way to get one, so be it. 
I also got to wear the armor that I have been after since they fist unveiled the raid armor sets. 
 
My mordesh is beside herself with joy. 	
----
			
On my end of things, my Mordesh Spellslinger, Barghest, is absolutely stomping Wilderrun.
 
I'm getting better at slinging, thank goodness.
 
On the Dominion side, my Draken Warrior, Makatza, is having trouble.
 
Armorsmithing is not agreeing well with her and that is a real shame because I wanted to be able to craft my own tanking gear.
 
I really have to ponder why in the world when the Weaponsmithing tech tree has each of the weapon types grouped into sections, the Armorsmithing tech tree has a branch for each and every equipment piece. 
 
I do not have enough materials for this, jeeze...

			Just saying hi, happy on the new server. Sad to leave my hard work behind though.

I am an armorsmith so I knownthe pain. Haha honestly get 1 or 2 mineral fabkits they help out a lot!

This game hates tailors. 
 
Rare supplies? ✓
 
Important schematics only dropping in dungeons? ✓
 
Said schematics being soulbound, so if your friend gets that one schematic you need, you are SOL? ✓
 
Barghest has my sympathies.

Good morning everyone.
 
I can relate to the crafter blues.  I gots em too.
 
Last night I had to do RL so did not get to play.  But I will make up for that today. :)
 
No comment on the conspiracy theories just yet.... I need coffee in me first for that kinda thinking.	
----
			
Morning, all! About to log in and see how my server transplant is doing. I moved one of my characters from Pergo to Evindra so that when whatever was going on with the megaserver thing happened they'd all be in one place. 
 
Did a quick sketch last night. I was frustrated with a commission, and needed to do something fun. Doodled for a bit..next thing you know, half an hour later I had this:
 
Zidaya the bard spends a lot of time roaming around old dungeons. During his travels he meets many strange creatures. Some are friendly, some not so much. One of the most infamous creatures one can find in those dark, gloomy places is the Mimic. 
 
Mimics are creatures who possess the ability to disguise themselves as common ordinary containers such as barrels, kegs, cabinets, and treasure chests. When an unwary or too-curious explorer goes to investigate the Mimic springs to life and attempts to clamp down upon them with its massive jaws, like a Venus flytrap trying to catch a fly. Unless the explorer has quick reflexes death is almost instantaneous...if they're lucky. 
 
Where this creatures come from, and whether they were a long dead wizards attempt at guarding their treasure or the result of magics effect upon natural evolution no one knows. Their origin is shrouded in the mists of time. What Zid does know is that not all Mimics are evil or mindless creatures. Some Mimics are more like stray dogs who have been long-abandoned by negligent masters. 
 
Here we see Zid with one of the friendly sorts. Zid came up with the name Mogu which in Japanese means 'chewing' or 'eating'. It's also a Chinese word that means 'Boneless', and is a style of painting where forms are made by ink and color washes rather than by outlines.
 
 
 
Here's a great example of Mogu art.

Mimics are some of my favorite mobs. They hit sooo hard....
 
But you still gotta poke that box!

Hops into the thread, sniffing the smell of eggs.
Grabbing one of the prepared meals, Oli jumps on his chair and munches his meal
 
Chua bit sad, but also happy today.
Chua did guild meeting yesterday and discussed important topic of guild : future
Chua and members ligned up all problems, solutions and upcoming difficulties and made important decision.....
 
C.H.U.A now merged into Nihilism, making bigger group and form raid team out of both cores.
Was long discussion, and is big operation probably taking many many days, but Chua really happy with support from Verlene, Azial and Incy.
So now new future begins for C.H.U.A and Nihilism, and both ready for mega-server!

I do not want to be at work today. :( 
 
Got some more work done on my arena, though I'm tempted to tear it down and start over. Hmmm Maybe. So many ideas running through my head.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Haha yeah, come to think of it:
Olivar of all people merging with a guild named like that could lead to a reaction like matter/antimatter, resulting in a big explosion.
 
Then again he's a Chua, so maybe... just as planned.  :ph34r:

Breakfast today isn't until 11am, so I have no idea what it will be, just that it will be bad for me.(fast food on the way to work. woo.)
 
Might try out medic today. and mordesh.

In WildStar news, I am standing in Illium near the auction house doing absolutely nothing. I need something to do! Challenges? Housing? Planet Reaping? Open to suggestions.

Hey guys!  Finally getting around to logging in and having some fun.  Wife went to visit her mom for most of the day, but she got lost (71 NB from 70 is closed) and I had to redirect her.  She's got the worst sense of direction on the planet, the poor woman.
 
Going to be running around on Spenser, seeing what I can do as far as levels go.  Drop me a line!
 
Also, I'm looking for an armorer on Exile Evindra.  I don't have the plat to make armor, but I have materials.  I wanted to run content with the guild and some RP dungeons and shiphands, but we have zero tanks.  So I'm willing to make a tank on Seeger (first time for everything!) but I need the gear.  As a Weaponsmith, I can make an Epochos sword and a new weapon attachment for myself, but I could use some non-Eldan warrior tanking armor.  Can anyone help me out?
 
Finally, I posted a long thread about possible issues with roleplaying instance mechanics in the Megaserver Feedback Thread.  If I could have everyone drop by and post possible solutions and comments to those problems, as well as any they have?  I'm not going to wait for a board room meeting of non-roleplayers to discuss these things before we sort them out, so I'd like to answer all the questions and issues we can as non-coding people.  Roleplayers need to take the reigns on this problem so that any eventual solution was crafted with our input involved in the minutiae of the decision making process.

Hi all!
 
So...definitely slept waaaaaaay too late for breakfast (yay!). Now lunch is out of the way and it's time for some WS.
 
Now to decide which alt to level... ^_^	
----
			
If you want Galactium Weave, I just need Refined Starshard Power Cores.  They're not very expensive on the CX.
 
If you can afford Hybrid Cores, I could do Epochos for you instead as well.  Really the Core is the only thing I need.
 
A full set of armor plus a shield is 7 cores in total.
 
Let me know if you want me to focus your pieces on any particular stat or if you'd prefer them balanced between tank stats.  Each piece will typically have 3-4 different stats on it, so you have (some) options.
 
Edit:  Also account friend me or something, I'm on my spellslinger a lot lately.	
----
			
 
Spenser has an outfit I use just for heavy assault missions.  He's a former captain of an elite reconnaissance and special operations unit.  I used most of the explorer set and the new beret for it (and some big ass guns).
 
You've got to have a couple costumes. :)

That's awesome. Is that  the sabo beret? The log in kept saying I could get it but apparently I could not =/
 
I decided, to mostly waste my money, and get an equivar because my grinder was annoying me because the  wheel looked like it belonged on a F-150.

Recruiting is so much fun! It's like RP but like with a purpose!
 
People seem attracted to the idea of Rocio's Tribe. Meritocracy, easily quantifiable. Made for misfits right?
 
Now I just need more events.
 
But I learned my lesson from FFXIV, where I did so much Ifrit Hard for random drops that my character my name and my very soul became synonymous with the content.... when I inevitably burned out people were like... does this mean no more Ifrit?!
 
Oh dear lord.
 
Lesson learned, now I am like. Ok. I set up the event and you do this and that, right?
 
Right now I got 2 events that are just advertising.... lol and the next one will be a collab with another guild... hopefully ... >.>
 
As for a wPVP with the Skullkickers... that's off. As mivh as it hurts me to say, I got a 100% no from errybody... so... meh. But hey I'm sure another guild won't mind tabletopping a fight!	
----
			Eh it's okay Ro I can barely make myself play the game when I log in anymore to level. I mainly run around in circles on my plot chit chatting or wondering why I am logging in. Maybe something will happen to make me want to play again, but eh... we'll see.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, this is the sabotage beret.  It looks awesome.  You should be able to get it if it's in your inventory.  Just bind it to your account and make sure you haven't already claimed and banked it.
----
			
I don't do nothing but RP man! I mean I love it but for me? This game is like SIMs! It's Barbie.
 
Seriously tonight I'm going to buy clothes for Rocio so he can look like a proper Aurin Dark Priest for his event Monday.
 
I'm talking to several different guilds about collabs and I'm going to see about starting a couple story arcs.
 
I guess just having a fanfiction wasn't enough for me! :lol:

Oh no. The last event they were pouring blood of slain Chua onto an oak as fertilizer for an initiation rite. "The Blood Oak! She rises!"
 
*cough* but Rocio's problem wasn't that they were goody goody it's that they were too Ordered. Rocio is a Chaotic character. He resents Authority and tradition. As far as I know no other guild offers a Male Aurin led tribe. Rocio's out to break every rule but he's a neutral, meaning that he's not out for Chua sacrifice, just money atm.
 
Wherever he can find it.

			I couldn't have two more different characters.  Seeger is a scary voodoo witch doctor warrior who's hard to pin down.  The things he does sometimes only seem to make sense to him, but he has a very strong spiritual fiber.  Spenser is an indebted inheritor of a very prestigious family title that does dirty jobs for mostly Highborne clients so they can keep their hands clean but still trust their secrets to someone "in the circle".  He's got a good heart, but he's also an ex-spec ops captain and he can put his own morality in its place when he needs to.

			Transmat? They are reducing the teleport to the capital city's cooldown to 30 minutes to be on-par with just about every other teleports known to the MMO genre. Coming soon with the next ultra drop! I wonder if my guilds will have survived by then. 6 people at peak hour is depressing. Zero hope of doing pve content at endgame at this rate.

{| class="blockquote"
Looking forward to that 30 min city transport.... I use my transmat for it already, but it'd have been hecka useful to set my bind point to Blighthaven while I was farming rep there.
 
What was the last thing you were doing prior to AH. Try to recall that, then it should fall into place.

{| class="blockquote"
No idea, but I seem to recall knowing I needed 50 gold.  I can't for the life of me remember what costs that much that I needed.  I'll probably remember once I'm back at the villa.
