Mmmm. Steak, eggs and hash browns. That's what's for breakfast. Flower-munching vegetabletarians need not apply. :D
 
Spend last night doing the Northern Wastes for the first time in months. I always liked that zone and it was good to use familiar terrain as a re-training ground. Learning how to play this game again, after months of mindless WoW and WTFArcheage is kind of hard but I think I almost back to being as terrible as I ever was.
 
I am a hardwired Rogue, though. Years of WoW lead me to play a Stealth class in every game where such a thing existed. I miss Sap and I really miss that instant Shadowstep for perfect positioning, but meh, I'll get used to it again. The trade-off is I get to double-jump and ride a hoverboard, so I figure that's a pretty sweet deal.
 
Have a great day, Nexus!

Morning!
 
You are the KING of breakfast Tex!!  :wub: It's so good to have you back!!
 
Northern Wastes is a good place to start (and if you are doing both NW and CB you have to start in NW or you're doing it backwards, don't ask me how I know this)  :ph34r:
 
I haven't played WoW since WotLK? Whatever the third one was anyways.
 
Jump, double jump, jump, double jump!! WOOHOO!!	
----
			
Hoverboard is best transport!
 
Been taking snapshots of possible locations for open world RP, completely forgot how nice scenery is on Nexus! In RP, recently recovered from near starvation, so am just taking it easy with food before eventually moving on to bigger meals. *nibbles on cooked insect*
 
Never tried stealth class before in any MMO, think I lack patience for any sneaking. But if dominion ever make stalker claws small enough for chua, might consider giving it a shot.

I ride in style...

Oddly enough, I also seem to know this information without being taught.
 
Weird. It's like ... tribal knowledge.

I was also pleasantly surprised that they lumped all the portal/transports into the same area. Super-convenient and a most welcome change.
 
I also like the new "F" bar that kind of skins over your character portrait while you're toggling stuff. Sleek. Much better than the old bar.
 
So many *little things* that I missed. The polish and care is finally starting to show through.

Fighting things today. Bugs on the PTR, and a headache since about 4:30 am.
 
Neither of us has work today which is good, but between her stomach flu, and my aching head,I'm not sure how much we will be in game.

So much RP so little time.
 
Got to spend some quiet time with a friend to chat about recent events IC which ate up my pre-Teahouse time. Then spent two hours at the Teahouse and got an hour to dink around a little with the Addon.  The last stop was to head up to the Boulder and what's going on?  zOMG dramaz!  Guess we'll see where this falls out.  Heh.
 
Sorry Tex, I did see you jump in but by that time I was fully engaged in the events of the night (spoiler: This is common for me).  Tonight's probably going to be just as busy if not more-so: There are competing open events: Villa vs. Friday Night Science.  Blech I hate having to choose between them.  Worse there are potentially three other things people might need her attention on.
 
Revisit's in a state that I'm happy with so I'm calling it good and releasing it.  Actually v1.0.1 was tagged as release but oh well.  This time I'm going to add a post to the Addons forum :lol:.  Load speed should be "good enough" now and I added a Quick Visit box.  Sure it's redundant with the one you get on the stock random property list.  At least on mine hitting return causes it to process.
 
My brother is arriving at my parents' house tomorrow afternoon.  We have dinner scheduled on Sunday but Saturday plans are up in the air.  Personally I need a day to unwind after a long drive like that or I won't be fit for polite company.  We'll see how it goes.  I should be on in the morning.  Maybe I'll finally start my dailies :lol:

			So, uh ... where is this itinerary of RP events located?

Woohoo, client meeting today at noon.  I get to have four conversations at once with a gaggle of surgeons trying to get them to tell me what kind of equipment they need...
 
I wish I could pack angrily to vent.  The second I get back into the game, something somewhere is getting *cupcake*ed up.  I don't know what it is yet, but some boss somewhere is going to write a complaint to Carbine that the Agitated AMP on architectural designers needs a nerf, because it's game-breaking.

Arrrrrpeeeeeeee
 
That's what I did last night. xD Found an "all the prompts ever" tumblr blog and while RPing with friends wrote up a bazillion drabbles for a variety of characters.
 
I am feeling like murdering pixels today.

There isn't an itinerary, per say.

Rainy/hail day in Kansas.  Wish I were at home on Nexus and prepping for some PvP.
 
Had a reasonably good time in GA last night, Convergence and Minis and a few attempts on Ohmna, though we were already down a few people by that time due to long days and fatigue and I don't think it was our best work.  However an entire raid night for Ohmna based on last full night's performance I feel confident we'll make significant progress if not win the encounter outright.
 
Still some weird behaviors sometimes, usually immediately after a threat wipe (an extra devour or erupt before the next body slam).  I don't have that one twigged.
 
Virag's Auto Coordinate is the best thing ever for Technologist.  I'd actually completely given up on that crafting profession, but VAC makes it a relative pain-free treat to fab up pots for raiding and PvP.  So my little esper garden tender, relic digger-upper, and Dominion ganker has been quite busy shuttling around for crafting dailies lately.
 
And tonight, more PvP, hopefully warplot time, but I'll queue up for everything under the sun :-).

Well, crud.
 
That means actually looking around. That's no fun. I want instant gratification, dagnabbit. :lol:

Wait, wait ... Warplots happen? You've seen them?
 
Now I am super-jealous and want to cry for ever leaving. That's the only things I ever wanted to do here - but given the state of the game, pre-merge, it never happened.

If you ask PJ, he may tell you some that he goes to.

Good morning everyone!
 
So yesterday was slightly tiring I got home after a decently long day of work... and then I was dragged into my guild's raid night to help take down Ohmna. I kinda floundered a bit due to tiredness messing with my memory of the tutorial but... woohoo, I can go to Datascape now! And then promptly died to two of the first minibosses but hey, learning! Also technically I died at the end of the final phase of Ohmna, but I just forgot if I needed to do anything special during that phase. Then a combat log error blocked my screen and... yep, couldn't see stuff and died. At least I survived a good 5 or so seconds after it popped up.
 
I've also been levelling an engineer so I could offer for tanking if people ask for it (Which seems to happen a lot nowadays), and I've almost got him to level 50 as well, so I've been pretty productive lately. So close! Engineer's pretty fun, definitely different from Spellslinger.	
----
			This morning, I'm trying to convince guildies to build laser tag arena for the upcoming Laser Phaser toy. ZOMG! So excited for silly games! :D	
----
			
Finally got into Datascape too! (Kolba and I are in the same guild) I was working on Ohmna with the guildies back before we beat it but missed the final kill, so now that we've done that (again) I was finally able to see Datascape, which is a very good looking place. I just wish other people could see it :(. It's a shame so few people make it to DS, though with the raid difficulty (WHICH I LIKE AND WHICH CARBINE SHOULD NEVER NERF OR I WILL SMITE THEM WITH RIGHTEOUS FURY. Ahem.) is definitely a gate to getting there.
 
Also lazer tag arena? I have an exile who's plot I'm not using.... if you want I'd be happy to make that for you sometime :) (Might cost you a bit though :ph34r: )

WHY AM I AT WORK AND NOT HAVING FUN AT HOME!?!?!?
 
Ugh.
 
Stupid work. Stupid having to pay for things.

Happy Friday everyone!
 
I'm going back to the pvp grind today. Still want to buy the ability points and the ICI costume. 
 
Was trying to get all gold shiphands but gauntlet hates me. 9/10 skulls whyyy
 
 
Edit:
 
It's warplot Friday! I almost forgot. I'll have to see if there is mercenary room. Then I'll do that tonight instead. Gah! Too many things in this game, I can never focus on one aspect

I need some donuts stuffed with Cadbury Creme Eggs to make myself feel better.
 
And wash it down with all three flavors of Peeps Milk!

Holy crap.  I think I just got diabetes from looking at that picture.
 
Too much sugar for this old guy.  I'll stay with my bitters and heat :-) (a.k.a. beer and burritos)

Too much sweets. You should have Consuela take you to a draken place for chow.
