Fine I'll get it myself <_<
 
Whatcha'll been up to? 
 
Got to bop Ohmna on the nose Saturday night.  We managed to get all four mini's down but we pretty much ran out of time so we went in with no real strat just to say "hi!"  We poked her, she smacked us down :lol:
 
Pykke's now at 75% of Vet. Adventures and should be able to buy his LAS3 this week.  Got a couple more worldbosses down on Elsa (think she needs another 4 or 5).  Started my next run to 50 on my Spellslinger AnnaJon.  Went from 15 to 20 over the weekend and put on another two levels on Monday and Tuesday.  Tonight will probably be Vet content on Pykke and Kitty.
 
I have a four day weekend coming up and I'm planning on getting a good chunk of levels on Anna.  Would like to knock out the rest of Pykke's content requirements (Vet. SotR, Vet SC, Vet SSM).  The funny part is that I'm the least worried about SSM ;)

If you need help with your vet adventures, let me know (Antimony Stibine)! I love Siege. Jack and I also both need vet Skullcano and SSM for attunement, so it'd be great to get those done together. :)
 
Yesterday I finally RPed my Dominion character, which was nice! Husband is building up a really incredible housing plot as a backdrop for the project holding our RP group's characters together. I'm not sure he wants me sharing screenshots until it's done, though! xD
 
We've been spending the past few days really putting our noses to the grinder to get the second novel written. Today we'll hopefully get a ways into, if not complete, the first big climax that marks the roughly halfway point of the book. x3 Super excited about that. When we're done, then I'll have to decide what to do in WS... contracts? Leveling dommie alts? PvP? ... More rp for sure. XD

Dinged 50 on Sunday and capped gems on Monday evening.  (Much easier than I though it'd be)
 
 
Started jumping around a bit and began messing around in the Defile.  Ran into a challenge that was pretty easy until the last stage when it turned into...............
 
Math?!?!
 
All I can say is one of the devs has a sick sense of humor.
 
 
Well, got the key now and working on Exile rep.   Woo-Hoo!
 
 
 
Ironically, I was getting ready to make a coffee post myself.  Glad someone else caught it before me.  /brow-wipe

Can't wait to work on Ohmna. Hoping for a good raid weekend even with the holiday, so fingers are crossed people will be around. Would LOVE to get an honest shot at Ohmna in.
 
John, have no fears about Vet SC either- you know that Criss is a huge fan, and I know what's good for me, so when she wants to kill Mordaci, we kill Mordaci :D
 
We actually have a baby sitter tonight, so probably not much WS for us. We might actually go *out*! So SC might have to wait until tomorrow. But it will happen.
 
Criss really loved finally getting a chance to raid with us (in the past, it's all been alt raids). She felt sheepish about the number of times she died in Kuralak phase 1 (which is interesting, because she's never died on it before in any of the pug runs we've done- I think she just psyched herself out), but was happy we killed Kuralak the time she finally lived :D
 
No Sword went a lot easier than I remember it going in the past. I think this was for two reasons: the first being a lot of people have solid experience on Convergence now. The second being that having 8 slingers (!!!) in the raid makes the squid a lot easier.
 
Criss has told me she really wants to get her stalker leveled and attuned so she can raid. I presume she means pug raids on nights when her slinger is locked. The girl is getting addicted to the game, I'm not going to lie (how many guys out there have a wife who whispers to you in the middle of the night, "I can't sleep, so I'm gonna go pug a dungeon"?). The only downside is trying to explain to guildies that I can't help them with stuff because the whole reason I'm playing is to make the wife happy, and she wants to run a vet dungeon. LOL.Finally, I was able to get the assignment designer integrated into the web page for our raid sign ups. I now have the ability to dynamically create groups with fields constrained by role or class so it's easy to adjust without having to drop back to code. I'm VERY pleased with how it came out, and I think it's going to make it a little more flexible for me when we change/create strats on the fly. I do want to add a dup check in the future to avoid the silly things I do like assigning someone to heal AND dps, but all things in time. Authentication is next so outsiders can't get in and muck with our signups!

Happy Canada Day everyone!
 
I've just started to polish up my plot, changing a few things around and having fun. Not doing too much with the game otherwise... the Techno-Phage decor bug thingy has kind of killed my excitement for logging in to run the daily. :(  At this point I'm just kind of popping in inconsistently until the F2P drop hits with its many changes. Neighbourhoods are gonna be epic!
 
On that note, I'd really love if Carbine would release concrete information about how exactly the neighbourhood will work (how plots connect, etc.). There's a lot players could be doing with just that little bit of information, and I hope (really hope) that this system is far enough along for development that it won't be changed, so letting us know how it works shouldn't be a problem.  *fingers crossed for the next week or two*
 
Also hoping that the F2P drop launches in September, cause I'll be a little annoyed if they push it back to October. If it comes in November, well, this game's not gonna compete with Fallout 4 so I probably won't bother subbing or playing for a while. Which would be unfortunate because yea... neighbourhoods are (IMO) the best thing to hit this game since launch.
 
Enough grousing... hope everyone's having a good week and enjoying their summer!

Well let me see.... not much of Wildstar week for me. We did work do minis with the guild on Monday, but I just haven't had the energy to play since I got some bad news this week. Tonight we'll do minis again, but no raiding over the weekend cuz 
 
'MURICA
Seriously, I got bacon, sausages, pork loins, brisket, ribs, and pork shoulder to smoke; other stuff to smoke; explosives to launch; and beer, whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka, rum, wine, and cider to drink. When am I going to raid in all that.
