Good Morning Everyone!
 
 
 
As always, I had a blast in WildStar last night. Did a shiphand and vet adventure with my guild. Talked to a few new people and invited a new person the guild. Did lots of pixel killing! :P
 
More later :) Work calls.
 
Okay, have a few minutes to add to this.
 
So, last night in the Vet SoTR, my group, made up of Vic(tank), Parth(healer), Khandi(Esper dps), Taerse(Esper dps), and myself(SS dps), was on the last boss, Esper Mako. I take aggro and die a horrible death. :huh: Only after I died did I realize that Khandi and Vic are both dead. That leaves Parth and Taerse to finish this boss who is just about 1/2 health. They do an awesome job with Taerse tanking him and Parth healing her. Then Parth dies. That leaves Taerse. OMG!! I am in awe of the awesome job Taerse did! She tanked, healed, and dps'd by herself! It was about a 3-4 minute fight, but Taerse did it! She killed the boss by herself!!! I wish I had gotten a couple of screenshots of it. It was a fantastic fight.

Did some PvP yesterday, and some raiding last night as well. After the announcement a lot of the talks in zone chat, and raid chat, were about drop 5 : somehow minipets were what excited most people  :lol: !
 
Otherwise I'm still on the fence about the holo-wardrobe. That is : until someone on the PTR starts a thread in th PTR general discussion forum and us folks that don't have enough disk space to install PTR can at least discuss it and ask questions...

Ups and downs last night. On Tuesday our GA raid took out four of the bosses, and today we blew through Convergence is just two tries. Ohmna however.... :/ Well we didn't make much progress on that point, and there were a lot of disappointed people around.
 
No work on the Cutts co plot to show I'm afraid, but I did realize that I currently don't have any casual fun rp characters atm, so I went ahead and used a new concept of mine to start up a fresh one. And hence, Drezrek WrenchTosser was born! I didn't think I would but I actually really like the male draken stalker animations. Somehow they feel right. Dre is a Draken mechanic and wholesale annoyer of chua :P (Chua also annoy the hell out of him since they keep modifying their tanks and vehicles). I plan to keep out of any serious rp with him and just do fun stuff. Hopefully that will help me rp without getting into some super serious situation where I end up getting annoyed or bored or having to leave people hanging.

SUPERHERO!!

Not really sure what is going on in wildstar this afternoon. I know that here off nexus it was nice and sunny, but will be flooding around 6. There had better be lightning and thunder. 
 
Might Run on the ptr, might try and help Vunne through Auroria. 
I will try and stop in on exiles to make sure everyone is ok/throw paper airplanes at Vic. 
 
See all of you on Nexus.

I'm trying to decide if I can stomach something in my house clipping with something in the interest of positional aesthetic, or if I need to just suck it up and move the object in question and have not quite as mathematically pleasing an arrangement. Dx Oh the horrors!
 
That's what I did last night! Haha. As well as RP. As usual.
 
But OMG IT'S ALMOST SPRING BREAK TIME! I just have one more student and then I get a whole week off! :D Super excited. Gonna go see Chappie with the SO later today in celebration. Will have to balance finishing DA:I with logging into WS for some good group content shenangans this coming week. It will be VIDEO GAMES ALL TIME. /istotallyanadultiswear

I feel nervous before Thaydfest.  I just want our events to run really well.  I spent a few hours last night fretting about them.

{| class="blockquote"
Everything will go fine. I know that your housing issues are ramping up your base stress level, but it is no big thing. If things get out of hand just delegate some responsibility to other guildies. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I'm not actually worried about the housing thing.  That'll play out as it does.  If we win, that'll be great!  But if we don't, I won't think of it as a failure.
 
If our dueling and mounted race don't go well, that's on me, so I keep trying to go over it in my head so that they'll work out on Sunday.  That dueling competition starts right when the doors open.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I was talking more about the condo..
 
Duels will be interesting. I guess that making sure all of the people participating know what the rules are first should minimize issues. Judge at each fight ect. 
 
Is the race tiered, or all just in a pack? I am curious because of the riding levels and stuff like explorer movement buff points. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, I figured it'd be best to do a rally race.  Current rules are Tremor Ridge to Prosperity Junction all on the ground, no transmats, no taxis, no teleports, but you can pick the road path to get there.
 
I'll actually, if I have my way, have three judges.  Myself, one guy to watch one contestant and mark his starting location, and one guy to watch the other contestant and mark his starting location.
 
And yeah... the condo.  There's some movement happening on Sunday that my wife, knowing about Thaydfest, took the bullet for alone.  So Parthenia won't be there. :(  She sacrificed so that I might be able to continue on.  Which is sad, because she was set to be a fashion show judge, and now she can't be.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Are they allowed to have mounts?
 
The race will only have 2 contestants? *confuddled*
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Three judges for the duels.

Reading comprehension for the win today!
 
Note to self: Always read the quoted part first THEN read the response. Might make more sense. :wacko:

Afternoon folks!
 
Noticed a Smashburger had opened up near where I worked, so that was lunch.  Definitely a step up from Wendy's (BK, McD's and White Castle are dead to me).  About on par with Five Guys.  Pricewise it's inching into Friday's/Chili's/Ruby Tuesday's territory.  It's a bit further out than we prefer but may make the rotation.
 
Originally signed up for the SoTR run but had inventory issues (already?! I just cleaned it out!) so had to bail on that.  *coughs* I solved some of it by dumping some of the archi stuff in the gbank only to have Vic begging us to take stuff out of the bank later on that night :ph34r:   Guess I'll see if I can alleviate some of that.  The new Holocloset can't come fast enough.
 
Did NW and CB then joined up with the Infestation and WotW runs (so much pixel death).  I also hit Expert Architect.  Yay!  My first data fragment ever!  Now I just need to grind out some craft vouchers to do anything with it.  My other Expert crafter (a Technologist) is only level 25.  She's Dominion so that puts her waaaaaay down on the priority list.  Oh well... I did unlock Dominion Generators so my engine room is looking even more engine-y. :lol:
 
I picked up a couple of cheap Arkship Cryo Pods expecting to use one of them for the ship's med bay.  These things are freakin' -huge- when opened.  Worse, they've got bits that stick through the floor :(   Guess I'll have to rethink that.
 
Tonight... ergh.  One of the wife's clubs is having a bake sale tomorrow.  I know how this plays out.  -I'm- going to get volunteered to make her dish.  Hopefully I'll get some playtime in.

WoW got mounted combat? o.O When?
 
I'm still waiting for a game to do mounted combat that I can get into. Mount and Blade doesn't count due to my graphicswhoreness

You missed a great time in Vet SoTR! :P

Yay! Grats on getting to Expert Research! Now the hard part begins. :D Hit the crafting dailies in Malgrave, Grimvault, Wilderrun, and, if you want, Thayd. They give the most vouchers. A couple of days of them and you will have enough to do at least one research. And don't forget to get your daily Eldan Data Fragment quest.
 
I stopped doing them, for now. I am up to the Expert Warplot Research and just have no interest right now to get them done. Maybe someday. B)

Morning everyone! Enjoying my day off in WS and close to 22..soon to start the dreaded...whitevale.
 
I worked a bit on my leatherworking and got it up to a point that its caught up with my level and a bit more. Then out of the blue some people wanted to make a STL normal group which frnakly I was expecting to bomb so hard as truth be told I feel extremely rusty and never tanked as a stlaker before.
 
BUT!!!!....
We did it!
 
We ALMOST made silver too, which was really nice for a group with almost no one who knew what they were doing. One shot the first two bosses with just saying "stay out the red and pray to your gods", because I actually derped out and forgot what the bosses did.
 
Two issues we had though:
1) I think that the shift to the 3rd phase on the first boss is a bit rough for a low level tank when I thought about it. At least for stalker anyway at 20. You can taunt, but unless you have a way to really sore pass the healer in threat you're basically praying you can catch up.
2)Sure this is a bug, but when we were fighting a monster near the last boss someone noticed we missed a totem and went back while we stayed and fought it. However when they activated the totem the monster immediately ran off to fight that person and so we had to chase the mosnter all the way to the entrance and taunt didn't work on the monster. This pretty much took away our chance at silver having to run all the way back. =[
 
 
Otherwise group did awesome and made a healer friend who thought i was easy to heal.(I am stronk like cat!-growl-)

I find Koob and Kitty (stalkers) to be extremely easy to heal all the time. I find Seeger (warrior) extremely hard to heal some of the time.
 
Happy to hear you had a great time!

To be fair, that may be because I have a marked tendency to do crazy/stupid things while tanking. :)
