Today has been nothing but meeting after meeting so far, but its nice when you finally get to sit down and relax.
It isn't much, but have a lil ol' Ekose with some coffee for ya!(Scribbled it during a meeting about crickets getting into the radiator and I don't know why I had to be there...lol)
 
 
Wildstar I don't really know about everyone else, but while I love killing monsters, getting gear, etc...Housing just fills that "cozy" gaming spot I need. I t reminds me a lot of my animal crossing town and home, where after raids work ,etc...i just wanted to do something for myself. At first I was going to do a theatre or some kind of amazing grand idea, but instead I think I'm going to just go with something simple.
 
I'll probably gab some shots later, but chose to just build my house around a giant tree I found. Theoption to have the bunker really makes it much easier just do your own thing now hehe.
 
Other than housing I didn't get to do much other than help soe folks on farside with group quests. How bout you?

I'm pretty much in the same bucket— housing is my Wildstar mainstay. :P  It's fun, creative, and probably the most important thing, it gives the combat purpose. While I do enjoy WS's action style, it's been too many years of MMO warfare and I feel like that part is becoming less and less entertaining to just get levels or do content for its own sake. At this point I'm all about hard boss fights and grinding gold or renown to build.
 
Speaking of housing, I made a post on that other forum but figure I'll share here:

So what’s next for customization? Well, player housing hasn’t received any crazy new features in a couple of months. What do you say we change that next?

Some of the chua I know are making pimp suits.... And I was like, I don't have a lot of dyes that's gonna be hard! And then I remembered.... slingers have THE pimp suit. :D
 
 
 
Anyway, this weeks been pretty quiet so far, but I have Friday and Monday off, so I have every intention of sitting down and finally getting some more work done on Nikson's plot. Hopefully I'll have it at 80% by the end of the weekend. Just gotta make it through work today...

Ah good. 
People need to get on that right now, the pvp leveling gear will be gone in drop 5 when all of us who are not slingers are going to want the coat.

			Today's been extremely busy, and that's after working last night to get through as much of these specs as possible.  Still running behind, which is why I've been a little absent lately and will probably continue to be for a while.  Our project timeline accelerated quite a bit, so now we're under the gun.

Frustrating day at work. Trying to resolve a defect that makes no sense whatsoever. Was about to give up about 10 minutes ago (after a day and a half), when a cowroker and I discovered something new so I have a new direction. Ah, the work of code sleuthing!
 
In my new world of add on development, I got a good feature set for the initial "log LFG in chat" stuff in, but the code is a complete mess. The casualties of learning Lua on the fly, I'm afraid. So wanting to work in a clean environment, I refactored the whole thing. I haven't tried the refactored version yet, but I'm sure I probably broke it pretty hard and will have to fix that. But that's the pre-cursor to adding the IComm features.
 
Wife and I finally got a chance to play WS last night. She logged on before me and my guildies grabbed her for a run through KV. They had fun wiping on Trogun for about two hours; in the meantime I was stuck pugging and did KV and SC- haha. Wife said she had a blast, despite the wiping and enjoyed the final victory. Then she and I teamed up and we blew through a STL run in a pug in about 20 minutes, which was fun. My wife had never played an MMO before WS, so getting to tank/heal through a vet dungeon with her on a whim is a dream come true :)  She also managed to make Stormtalon #hardcore by how she handled the eye, having never had it in vet mode before and not realizing that you get confused (which a slinger cannot cc break out of). Let's hear it for running around in circles while the person with the eye freaks out!Now, on to bug slaying!

What the heck did I do last night?  Oh right.
 
Wednesdays are typically tough gamewise.  Due to reasons I need to drive the kid to and from his night class at the local community college.  Not too horrible by itself but Wednesdays are the day I make a slightly more complicated dish for dinner and since we sometimes forget to defrost the meat I've found that I'm better off hitting the grocery store on the same night to mitigate that.  In other words, there's some scheduling stress.  Combine that with the induced food coma and it's rare that I manage to stay logged in after the return trip.
 
Usually I'll get in a round of NW & CB dailies and/or some PvP matches.  Instead last night I wound up working on another Addon.  I tend to regularly visit a set of plots that aren't neighbors and I'd like a way to shortcut them.  I've heard that Visitor is having issues and Neighbor Notes sort of does this but it lists all of my neighbors (resources sharing, yo) and they have to be neighbors. 
 
Anyway, I kinda got stuck on the saving of settings data.  ProTip: If the file doesn't update it means the save code crashed.  You'll never see a crash dialog or be able to view it from the Addon panel because to cause it to execute you have to log out or /reloadui.  WTB: Individual Addon reloading.
 
Probably more of the same tonight.

Yesterday, Exiles were absolutely awful at PvP (and for some reason I kept getting 2-shot even though that's never happened before o.o). It was too frustrating, so I just hopped off to RP. XD
 
On the bright side, I finally got to do a scene that I'd been eagerly awaiting for almost a week. Weeeee.
 
Looking forward to the weekend so I can drown in video games and roleplay. It's been a really rough week and a half. *sigh* Though now that I think about it, it being the weekend won't change the root of the issues. Urgh.

Okay, I'm out of my specs meeting.  Ever spent two hours talking about gypsum wallboard?  Every facet of it?  Its finishes, how it's oriented, how it's attached to the wall in multilayered applications?  Well I just did.  Gyp, P.Lam casework, and hollow metal doors and frames.  I'm having trouble remembering my own name and the face of my wife and dogs, but I do know how to spec a floor anchor to a pre-existing concrete floor for a full edge welded HM frame.
 
This is a website for a game, right?
 
I got to log in last night and talk for a while, but I was working on spec sections throughout the night.  Hopefully, I'll have time to help a new guildie through a normal Skullcano.  Whatever I do, I hope it's mentally stimulating.  It better be, or I'm going to forget how to feed myself.
