Chilaquiles for breakfast. Mmmm. If you know, then you know. If you don't, then getchaer butt down to the taqueria and order some. Think "spicy breakfast nachos" and you'd be close.
 
So, this weekend was mostly dedicated to chasing costume pieces. Not as easy as it sounds. I finally broke down and installed Prestige, so it's a little easier, but still requires a great deal of patience and trust in the RNGoddess.
 
My problem isn't finding the pieces, it's cleaning out my Holo-Wardrobe. I was already at 340/350 when F2P hit - and I can see myself wasting money on cash shop items, but increasing Wardrobe space is way, way down on the list of things I'd even consider buying. So there I was, at the cap, sitting on four new costume pieces ... what to do it.
 
Time to begin:
 
I gotta admit, there are a lot of looks I just don't care for, so it was easy to pitch those, and of course there are duplicate looks and re-colored looks ... those were trickier, since I'm a cheapskate and don't like paying to dye something that's already pretty close to what I want. Some hard choices.
 
Regardless, I finally whittled myself down to 325.350. Enough for now, at least. It may come down to unlearning the styles I have in Account Inventory that I don't really use (Huggyface Squirghead, I'm looking at you).
 
So, how are you guys and gals coping with the influx of new styles?
 
Talk to me, Nexus, and have a great day!

My wardrobe is actually pretty sparse. I had Gryff (my SS) in highwaymans with the augmented shoulderpads up until just before F2P and no other characters really. Now that he's got a proper hat, I had to switch the shoulders due to clipping, but that's fine because I've got some of the crafted shoulders that got purged in the transition that still works on him in my wardrobe.
 
 
My Engineer is now almost level 30 and I've been having trouble finding decent looking gear at his level to play around with. Also, my esper is stuck at level 13 because I promised a friend I would level a healer with him and he rarely gets to play...  :(

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Breakfast is waffles for no particular reasons. And hot chocolate because the weather is getting cold.On WildStar, it appears people finally got tired of the lag on Entity-1 and there was a mass exodus or something because now Entity-2 is starting to lag during prime time. I also found out that my computer BSOD when the Siege for the Lightspire is on-going at prime time so I have to be extra careful when I go to The Defile now. Sigh. Bright side is that I am almost Beloved with the Champions of the Defile so I might not even have to go back there soon.Systems critical! Which systems? Mine, actually.	
----
			I'm more concerned about my old styles tbh, since I lost my goggles from my explorer's headwraps. I really hope this is a bug.:(

Morning  :)
 
I got some really good Wildstar time in this weekend! It was a great time and I got to spend time with some new guildies. Oh and this came along...
 
 
I am a Great Aunt!!	
----
			
 
Speaking of discoveries and new things ... I found these guys in my local Kroger this weekend. I am totally sitting at my desk and drinking Darth Vader in a cup.	
----
			
Good morning US ;)
 
I've been getting sucked into ARK: Survival Reloaded lately, so haven't spend much time in WildStar over the weekend :/
Game is so addictive with capturing dino's and building stuff.
It really is like Jurrasic Park and Minecraft combined :P
 
That said, I'm still happy with WildStar.
Our guild is growing on a steady pace, and we're planning on getting our new Genetic Archives team going soon for a first initial run and getting people into the raiding scheme.
 
I don't know if it's just me, but I find some dungeons to be way harder now with all the changes, or I'm not used to running with people who have lower gear.
It's not really about the damage though, as DPS and Healing itself seem to be fine, I have more a feeling that the mechanics changed compared to drop 5.
Then again, might just be me.
 
Our roleplay has been picking up as well.
So many people joined our event last week Wednesday, that I'm really looking forward to playing our server live event where we go explore farside.
Still need to prepare some pictures for it, as well as finalize the plot and rules.	
----
			
Good morning coffee goers!
 
Was a pretty good weekend for me. Finally healed my first dungeon since being away for several months and OMG I forgot how much I love this game.
 
Vet SSM might not have been the best choice to relearn the game but it made me remember why I love it so much. So now im really re-energized to really delve back into wildstar again.
 
Other than that I just basically hung out and did dailies and worked on my reps to trybto get max ability and amp points. Also started working on my engi to get him vet dungeon tank ready. 
 
So all in all, fairly good weekend. Hopefully sometime this week I can get the wife to start playing.

			Hey, Oli. Did I read that you were working on a Discovery Tracker addon? I thought I heard you mention it, but when I went looking for it, I couldn't find it.	
----
			
Yesterday I took time out of my busy schedule of being lost in Wilderrun, to go visit people. Cirinde was very busy working on housing, which if you know her is not at all uncommon. I guess it was "light" construction, as she did not have her hair protector on. Through some sort of housing sorcery she has visually extended the size of her plot to a ridiculous extent. To the eye it really looks like two plots worth. I think the terrace style that she has put in it what causes it.
 
After that I went to go hand out goldfish, I mean mini metal mouths. A few for Vunne's characters, but the last one I decided should go to Tex. So I had to find him. The server decided that there were too many people in the small outpost in Auroria, so even though I was right next to him I could not see him. Had to wait until his character walked a distance away before I could hand off the squirmy little chomper.
 
I wish I had taken pictures, but all I have is this one of me finding out I forgot to take pictures.

That's some terrifying commercialism right there! the C3PO one reminds me more of one of those old childrens toys... the rubber 'figures' that always rebound and stand back up?
 
Ahhh... the Holo-wardrobe!
I was at 349/350 before the patch (and would've been at 350 but for the bug that means you can't use the last slot ;P) and that was after two distinct phases of pruning through everything I had in there in order to squeeze in more. (First pass took out any model duplicates that I could replicate with recolouring. The second was me getting rid of the least favoured/likely to be used ones *sob*)
The first thing I did after I trusted the servers/shop to not crash mid-transaction was get some Ncoins and get a bigger wardrobe!
Now I'm at about 380/450 :)
I give it about another two weeks before I need to invest some more... might have enough Omnibits by then...
 
I may have a problem.  :rolleyes:
 
Olivar:
I found STL to be basically the same, Kel Vorath to be largely the same, though lacking a few patrols that were there before (making some pulls a lot safer) and SSM to have significantly fewer patrols (the place feels kind of sparse now... which is a shame) but they've actually made the Skash fight tougher! Which was a nice surprise. (he was always a bit easy before once you get the hang of the eggs/eyes :))	
----
			
Gooood morning!
 
Oh don't get me started on costuming, my next batch of omni points are going for another extension! x.x Damn my Cassian for being so darn fahsionable!
I love her so much, she's like my mini barbie who I get to dress for fun! :P It's not the same with my Niliana really. She has certain clothes that don't look good on her.
 
I watched The Walking Dead this morning, LOVED IT! HAd a cuppa coffee, been up since 7, so thinking of another cuppa maybe?
 
http://www.twitch.tv/nilianavenusrising/v/20343051And this weekend I finally finished Bomba's Fine Dining. I'll do a proper walkthrough when I finish the interior, put some music to it and maybe a half naked Bomba (cause that's always good for viewers :P ) 
 
I have another project to do, someone wants a themed hoverboard skate park, so I'm trying hard to think outside the box :)

The very first thing I bought from the cash shop was a wardrobe expansion. After lots of grumbling over how Carbine was a Big Fat Liar about there being no more data space to store looks. But yeah, I am the kind of person who will collect all appearances, regardless of whether or not I currently intend to use them, so... I needed that expansion. xD And I had three new costume sets sitting in my inventory when I logged in for drop 6, but I had been at the 250 limit for months!
 
Still a little bitter about that whole lying thing but ah well.
 
I FINISHED MY HOUSE! Well. My landscape and crashed Spaceship. xD People should visit in-game because I need to bask in praise. Er, I mean, the screenshots don't do it justice!
 
The question is, what now... I made my guildie faint by doing two world bosses yesterday. Yeesh, I wonder how he'll react if I ever actually re-rune my gear...! ;p

I loves my Mini Maw! First pet I've ever bothered to summon and leave out! Thank you SOOOO MUCH!
 
I love how he leaps up and spins around in his little "attack pattern"! So awesome!

Hey Tex,
That functionality is part of RareTracker now, so I took down DiscoveryTracker for it.
Just get the latest RareTracker and add "Discovery" as custom rare to track.
 
 
 
So far I've noticed changes in difficulty in SwordMaiden most of the time.
Several of the bosses and minibosses seem to be extremely closer on their interrupts, giving you like one or two seconds max overlap with interupting their spells.
Skullcano felt harder as well with the changes to Tuga and the sniper mini-boss.
 
It's not that I dislike the changes, but I think they need a bit more tuning or some leniency.
----
			
And I killed the coffee thread.
I'm sorry.
Olivar if you wanna deflate your ego anytime and come to me and my guild for help, despite our past I'm willing to help out. :)

Morning Everyone! hows the coffee?! im drinking carbonated juice this morning! my current outfit. Special Ops Style!	
----
			Hey Daed, nice to see ya! Glad you chose Dominion ;)

After farming discoveries for about three days, and buying a couple of 'newish' pieces out of the AH, I'm currently sitting at 340 unlocked pieces. I'm waiting for my omnibit weekly cap to reset (any time now...) so that I can finish farming those and buy Carbine a new storage hamster the limit increase. 
It's more of a preparation for the future rather than an actual need. I already have every set I want except one (Dark Mystic, of which I only want the chestpiece, actually), but one never knows what kind of neat little cloth pieces they will add in the future. 	
----
			Thanks Niliana! I really enjoy them so far, been getting into plot and things, reading lore, and occasionally yelling at people that run inside the Vigilant Churches. Its been an all around gewd time! Good to see you! Ohh also errybuddy! I finally finished my Raidin' set... took forever.

Ghrnnh.  Work coffee isn't doing it for me this morning.  I feel like I'm experiencing everything thirty seconds after I've done it.
 
I've got plenty of room to grow into new costumes - 160ish, even having been given two costumes on the switch and buying one off the store.  I'd bought the NCoins to fix the ship, but then I got to the store and they were all like, Look!  Maugan Ra armor with a Baron Samedi hat!  GG guys; you got me.

Good Morning-ish everyone,
 
Naunet - the doctors say I have made a full recovery from the shock of your world boss killing spree yesterday.  They do advise that I ask for an estimated date of when you will start to rune your gear so that they can put me on the proper medications and have the emergency responders on call in my drive way that day.  Thanks for considering my health.
 
My weekend in Wildstar was pretty great.  Did some raiding Saturday night with the raiding circle and Sunday downed a world boss.  My experience in that encounter seems to be different from what I have been reading in other posts.  I joined the group at 16/75 particles and within 30 to 45 minutes we were at 75 particles.  i personally got three particles during that time frame.  All I got from killing the world boss was gold, but really I was doing it for the contract.  And while farming the particles I also knocked out the kill 20 primes and 10 super kills contracts.  All of that pushed me to the tier 5 reward which turned out to be an il100 weapon.  My current weapon was an il96 weapon.  The il100 weapon had about 150 more AP then the il 96 weapon, but the lower item level weapon had 5 rune slots vs. 4 slots on the higher weapon.  Decisions, decisions.  Bit the bullet, recovered the exceptional runes out of the il96 weapon and went for it.  Result was 150 more AP, raised my crit chance to a little over 22%, kept strikethrough at just over 15% and crit severity stayed at 195%.  So now I have to work on my crit severity.   Oh and take note, the world boss teleporters in the Wilderun camp, if the settler project is going on, they are pretty hard to spot if it is your first time using them.  Leads to some pretty funny exchanges in Guild chat as you try to direct guild members to the teleporters that they can't see  :P

			Good morning all. I am sitting here drinking my Monster Khaos as i needed a bit more kick than coffee would have provided. I had fun this weekend grinding out some levels in the limited time i got to play. I went from 13 to 26 just focusing on the zone/region quests. Also popped a nasty little Exile warrior and spellslinger that tried to jump me in whitevale last night. Didnt realize that the mind control squid quest had put me in pvp mode. Hope everyone has a great day.

This is one of those non sequitur stuck at work thoughts. 
 
You know what would be a neat piece of mount flair? A little basket for what ever pet you have out, so they don't totally disappear when you are cruising along.

How long has F2P been out? And I'm just now about done clearing out my bank on my main. Hard deciding what neat clothes to keep and what to throw out. Really bad for me, since I have an alt problem and for some dumb reason the holo-wardrobe is account wide. So, for people like me, we get much fewer item slots per character than those lucky people who can mange to just play one character. (How do they do it?) 300+ items isn't much room for eight characters.
 
Granted, some of the time I've been back I've been playing an alt on a relief server, since doing anything on my main's server was a good way of getting real acquainted with the loading and character select screens. I figure by next week I'll probably have my main's action set done, amps selected and maybe I'll even be back to questing.

			Anyone techsavvy in here? I'd rather not ask in Tech Help because trolls are everywhere...except in this particular thread, our safe haven.I've done everything I can to stress test my computer but only Wildstar still crashes and throws blue screen of death everywhere. I've stress tested my cpu/motherboard with Prime95, my GPU with FurMark, my RAM with MemTest86+ and even used DDU to wipe any and all nVIDIA leftover driver parts and reinstalled. Everything tested just fine but Wildstar still throws a tantrum since a couple of days ago.I have uninstalled it and will reinstall it later today because of my slower Internet but I am open to suggestions as to what to investigate next...

{| class="blockquote"
when did it throw the blue screen exactly? How much time did you spend in the game before it crashed? I mean it sounds like overheating problem, maybe your gpu? hard to tell though.without an actual error to see.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
What about other heavy games?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
It shouldn't be overheating. I've stress tested the major components to their limits and it still did not crash. While on Wildstar, it crashes within a few minutes in The Defile but it could crash elsewhere. Heck, I tried doing a simple repair and it ended up crashing. And by crashing I mean BSOD and forced reboot. It is quite strange. Only does it on Wildstar too.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I don't have any extremely heavy games (which is why I stress test) but Lichdom Battlemage and Skyrim (with an intensive ENB) both are stable and show no signs of crashing or BSOD.

Hi guys :). Had my coffee and everything this morning but now I don't have work so I'm awkwardly sitting here :p. I work as a tutor and only have one student on Mondays. They cancelled so I have nothing to do for a bit. I can't play WildStar, either, because of latency problems on Entity-1. Figures!
 
I have a bit of a rough day ahead--I have to put my 12 year old dog to sleep :(. I'm devastated even though it's for the best and she would only be going downhill from here. I've had her since she was 7 weeks old. Those of you with dogs--please hug them extra tight today for me.
 
I haven't been accomplishing much on my main (Engineer) lately. I maxed out the last of my ability points and AMPs a bit ago and am waiting on the rune cost changes to finish properly runing my gear. So most of my playtime has been running around with my boyfriend's new character. He decided to switch to a Spellslinger so we've been trying to level the new character fast. He seems to be having way more fun (he had been playing a Warrior, up to level 27) and I'm glad. New character is a Chua, too, so I approve :p. I've also been messing around with my Medic. I think I healed Protogames Academy like 5 times yesterday. I keep meaning to actually level him (he's been in the high 20s forever) but I get distracted running low level dungeons/adventures. This is my first time healing in any game and I'm really enjoying it.

Reekah, your post is a combination of :(  and :) .
 
It always hurts losing a life-long companion pet. Our oldest cat is approaching 15 years old and is really starting to show his age. He's been with my wife since she was fresh out of college ... when the time comes, our house is going to feel very empty, even though we have other cats and pets. He's the senior partner and nothing will ever be able to replace him in our hearts. Best wishes with that trauma. :(

the weird part is you getting BSOD, it shouldn't happen since that's most likely faulty/old hardware rather than bad drivers. I had the same problem with a certain game as well.
 
Can't tell without an error log or something, though you would have more luck taking it up with support at this rate i'd wager.

A wardrobe expansion was the first priority for me, as I've been at 348/350 since a couple of weeks after the Holowardrobe was introduced.  I've been collecting as many of the new costume pieces as fast I can, planning to get the wardrobe boost with Omnibits the instant I looted enough of them.  Sadly, I got the last of my Omnibit drops over a week ago, and was still 18 bits short of getting the wardrobe increase from the store.  Then, I got today's login reward of 20 bits!  A few minutes later, I opened up the store to get my hundred new slots, and found out I was four bits short of affording it, as six bits had disappeared from my inventory in the meantime.
 
So I'll skip the coffee for today, I've got enough bitterness as it is.
