Good Morning Everyone!
 
It's Monday! I want to go back to bed and forget about being a responsible adult :D
 
So here is some coffee for those Monday Morning Blues.
 
And some breakfast to make you have the energy you need to make it through the day.
 
In WildStar news: I finished my house! I really like the way it came out. It's a nice quiet fun area called Sanctuary and it fits the name well. There is a little bit of everything for everyone.
 
Outside: A nice hottub on the deck with some seating. A tree bar that serves everything you could want for drinks. A quiet fenced in date area complete with swing. A rooftop fire pit.
 
Inside there are several rooms, including a eat in kitchen. Also has a bar area, trophy room, TV room, pillow room with fireplace, library area for studying, a quiet area behind the library, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
 
It really is a must see :)
 
This weekend was a lot of fun. Did several guild group vet shiphands and vet adventures. Got 50% of that part of my attunement done. The weekend just seemed to fly by. :) I know there is more I did, but I just can't remember it all. LOL being tired doesn't help.
 
Went to Plasma's lot and played on his trampoline (anti grav fabkit). It was fun trying to see who get the highest.
 
I may think of more later :rolleyes:
 
Have a great day!

Ran hycrest with the guild last night, it was a lot of fun and I hope to run more instances with all of you in the future. 
 
Been trying to wrap my head around the faction discussion in a productive way. Sent stuff off to CRB_Anlath to get more information on feasibility. 
Hope that pans out. The last time I asked about feasibility it was in regards to preserving the RP environment, and well that didn't go well. It turned out to not be a big issue, but I felt like in my inability to come up with a working fix I had let my friends down.
 
So I hope everyone has a good day, and if you could pass the coffee carafe, I'm going to dunk my head in it.

Cooooofffeeeeeeee......  I feel like a zombie...
 
 
So, my weekend was extremely busy IRL.  Friday night, I had a show to do, which went... okay, I guess.  It was a REALLY hard room to mix.  Gyp ceiling, gyp walls, VCT floors, wing wall near the stage, let's just say I had my work cut out for me.  Worse, the crowd was talking the whole way through the show, and in that boni fide echo chamber I really had to drive over the crowd to get the band heard.  But I had to EQ weird, to say the least, because raising the bass would make the bottom end muddy at that level.  The band wasn't hearing that, though, all they heard was the system go extremely bright and loud.  It was throwing them off, not that they needed help.  Players were making mistakes; ironically it was the newer songs that went over well even though there were several timing issues.  Maybe we're just really hard on ourselves; the management loved the show and we got another gig there in April, but that was probably the worst venue from an acoustic standpoint.
 
Saturday rolls around, and I spend most of the day working on furniture planning for our new condo.  I had all kinds of cool ideas that broke expectations and made awesome use of space (I had options to turn our living room into a billiards room, our dining room into a parlor, and to add a dumbwaiter to make a dining room and activity area in our basement), but my wife overruled me.  At least I get to modify our basement into a billiards room and den, so I guess I have a man cave.  However, figuring that out took all morning at the condo and all evening at my desk.
 
Two great things happened in Wildstar, though.  One was that, between my extra time Friday and Saturday, I made some great adjustments to the Shadowcaster (I got to put a dumbwaiter in somewhere!).  The other was Sunday...
 
Sunday I had nowhere to go, and I was aching to get my content on!  So from the time I woke up until the time I went to sleep, we were running content as a guild! :D  My favorite!  We started on Vet Shiphands, but I thought, "We're the Blazing Saddles!  I've been doing Shiphands with these guys for weeks!  Let's see some adventures!"  All in all, we ran a handful of Vet Shiphands, a pair of Vet WotW, a pair of Vet CoW, a Vet SoTR, and I took a new player (or two, I didn't ask) through Hycrest three times and showed them three different endings! :D  That was all great fun, and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
 
I'm totally going to throw an RP CoW one of these days, and WotW could use a few more "maps".  I actually really like the player-mimic AI the opposing Dominion "players" use in that; we could use that in a few more adventures.  The hardest was Vet SoTR, which I'm still not as comfortable with.  We got to have Saboteurs drop in during an assault tank phase, so that didn't help, and most of my guild (including me) don't know the bosses that well.  I'm not sure if that's why I think it's harder than MT, but who knows?  It certainly feels harder than Vet STL and Vet KV.  Still, we bronzed it, and I'm so proud of the guildies for that!  We may not be perfect, but we persevere!
 
All in all, Sunday was excellent!
 
This week, I don't have band practice, so I may do the TL;DR on Tuesday after the stream.  I do want to do more content runs, but now that the Shadowcaster is more or less complete, I want to start throwing RP parties so we can light up the night!  I will have nights for old soldiers to tell war stories, and we're also looking into a karaoke night for our main stage.  I'm still trying to think of a name for the coffee bar, musical bar, and the four vendor stations on the main thoroughfare and by the garden.  Suggestions would be appreciated.
 
See you all on Nexus!

Do share any feedback you get please.
Really liked that idea you posted.

The weekend was filled with continuing to acclimate the new kitties to their new home. Also, attending the Houston Author's Bash... yay selling books! xD
 
But I did get some good game time in on Sunday! :3 Though I was a little distracted constantly having to deal with kitties crawling in my lap, it was nice to do something other than Redmoon/Rocktown in Crimelords of Whitevale... Still itching for more content. The poor SO couldn't participate because he was busy writing. Always next time...
 
I really need to work on my Mordesh's creepy cave some more. And the mansion... Aaaah housing. D:

If you could also try and get information from the devs in regards to the faction idea it would help. If it is just me asking, they might not take it seriously.

Sorry, I done blowed it up.  Rather I redid it as the elevator for the docking bay.  You can still jump on it but the top platform is high enough that occasionally it'll gig you for falling damage especially if you land on a piece that you didn't launch from.

Good morning everyone.
 
There are 63 housing plots signed up for the Lifestyles of Nexus competition.
 
I think I may have to start paying judges, or something.  I think we'll still be able to announce Winners during ThaydFest II though.
 
Oh yeah, coffee.  Imma go do that now.  Just needed to share.

That is awesome! I am so happy to see so many sign up.
 
I don't envy the judges at all. They have their work cut out for them! /cheer for the judges :)

Good morning everyone!
 
I finally got out of whitevale(wow that is a huge area) and reached 30 this weekend. I feel so painfully slow, but yet having so much fun sitll when I get to play. I also have found roleplay partner I am levleing with who is great slinger!
 
I also got to tank War of the Wilds in a pug twice. The first run didn't go so well since we awere all confused and lost =[
The second time went great though and we got silver. I think I need to toughen up my stalker threat though, but I did pretty well according to others and am happy.
 
I also ran Stormtalon succesfully too, but I felt very squishy. I may try to do Kel Voreth this week, now that I ahve crafted gear guildmate made me and I feel stronger in it.

Good news everyone!
 
Delve Deep is now officially 5/6!
 
 
In other news, the ship is like 98% complete! Sadly at this point I'm waiting on the plot owner to level is butt to 50 to grab some Dominion Fighters and some ergonomicish keyboards... le sigh. I hope he gets in gear before the housing contest inspectors come by. I may make a point of not building on people's plots until they're level 50 to avoid this issue in the future.

Update: Monday Afternoon.
 
Yeah ... still have the Monday Blues. It might be that Hubby is finally home after being stuck in NY over night due to weather and I am stuck at work.
 
More coffee is needed STAT!!
 
But at least he brought me home lots of D&D k-cups coffee :wub:
 
I am so looking forward to showing him all the improvements I have made in my house on Nexus. I've told him about some of them, but describing them doesn't do them justice.
 
Have a great afternoon and night everyone.
 
See you all on Nexus!

			YAY!! Hubby is home!!

And your stream wasn't you twiddling your thumbs going, "Well.... I was an idiot with my phone today and... yeah, this'll be a short one."
 
Was ist das auf Deutsch?

"Ich war Heute ein Idiot mit handy....und ja, es wird Kurz sein."
Still happy we did SD, had good progress and practise.
Just need to iron out some mistakes and work a bit on communication, then practise on tackling second phase.

That fight looks like a blast, though! :D

Long time reader, first time poster.
 
Weekend was loads of fun.  Saturday was veteran ship hand missions with the Guild.  Easy Peasy, gold on all of them with time to spare  Sunday was veteran WotW and SoTR.  Finished WotW so easily that we didn't medal. Doh!  SoTR was going well until we had a tank attack, and in the middle of that fight the sneaky Olivar Chua bombed our reactor.  But we got a completion, just not silver or gold.  Try another day.
 
A few months ago when I joined the Guild with three of my friends, Seeger was pretty excited because we doubled the active members.  Fast forward to present day and we have tons of members on through out the day.  It's really getting exciting.

			Well I didn't play as much as I wanted to, since I slept most of Sunday (the life of a 3rd Shift Worker haha), but I got my character finalized in path choice and looks and actually played a bit today. Got to the end of Everstar Grove for the first time (I usually went to Northern Wilds), and I really loved the enviroment there. I do think with this game I'm going to slow down and just pace myself, really read every little thing I can manage to. I've grown tired of this rush-rush mentality in my MMOs.Tho I do worry about my internet connection not being "good enough" for the game at times. I seemed to lag some. Don't know if it was the server or my own connection, but it seemed to calm down a little bit after about 10 minutes.

			Hit lvl 20 on exile, then went over to dominion for some pvp. My taller half ate popcorn and giggled as I got a reminder on what happens when you go into battlgrounds in pve leveling gear. Tomorrow I will grab warplot gear, and then I will be the one laughing.
