After 3 weeks of holiday, where every day started with croisants, baguettes or chocolate buns... Today is D-Day... the day i had to go back to work.
 
Soooo, , had to rush oofcourse i oversleptut of the door but also had to shave my 3 week old beard off before going
 
Breakfast today.... sad.... but true..
 
 
Holiday was good, Sorry i wasn't on the forums, but i was actually enjoying the game ^^.
 
A great many chua's have stopped doing science after meeting with my blade the last couple of weeks. Unfortunatly more keep popping up all over the place. I wonder if they are breeding while waiting for BattleGround que's to pop or something. I've also managed to get my 1st alt to 50 and my 2nd alt to 40 already, so it where 3 "productive" weeks :P	
----
			Chua stopped breeding centuries ago. They just use advanced forms of cloning now.	
----
			just realised.. I promised to get an avatar on my last day of work..... *runs for the hills*	
----
			
Yessss get that avatar!  :D
 
Today's breakfast is also a rushed scrambled eggs, in the microwave.  I did dice some fresh parsley for it at least.
Not my eggs, but a close approximation:
 
 
Om nom nom.
 
Today I might not get much WildStar - my SO wants to game with me a bit and we will probably be in LoL or D3.  Perhaps later...
 
-T.	
----
			
This is meh, bah humbug cupcake bugs addition of MC for me.  Hopefully the Aurora Domi quest bug will be fixed soon ( 26Aug ... tentatively ).
 
Sorry for my rage ... just hate knowing were "I should be" numerically and how I am currently ( again ) thwarted by rebroken bugs. :P
 
All that said,
 
Calling all Skullkickers: Get thee to the Bosses Shrine and earn your "Pit Fighter" title ( or make Scott stand there and be your DPS target dummy). ;)

Rocio spent yesterdy...
 
Napping with the Girlfriend.
 
 
Pretending to learn about hoogles while messing with his girlfriend and eating cookies and muffins.
 
 
Rocio honestly thought the beach party was lame... but Hey... girls.
 	
----
			Good morning! How's the science?Honey nut Cheerios morning for me. My vacation is nearing its end too so I have to get the most out of it!Dinged 50 yesterday and I have been issues trying to get the 5+ man group quests in Grimvault done. The goal today is to clear Blighthaven and possible the storyline in Crimson Badlands and Northern Wastes.	
----
			
Went to the hoogle event to keep Tex from being totally lost, unfortunately for me he disconnected and left me in a sea of aurin.
Much like any tour of ancient ruins there were some facts, some conjecture, and some hippy trying to commune with the stones.
 
Afterwards I visited some at the beach. The text feed was too much for me and I only had time to say hello to a few friends, and get scolded for making eyes at the blue mordesh to the right of Rocio.
 
Today is the beginning of the fall semester here, so breakfast is going to be coffee and probably not much else.

Yeah really. Killroy can lower the range for you, but big groups like that makes me tired... really quick.
----
			
Aw man... Yeah it was too hard to flirt with girls in that place. Which was the whole reason Rocio showed up. It was like being at the club.
 
"Hey girl!"
 
"WHAT?"
 
"I said 'HEY GIRL!'"
 
"Oh! OK!"

----
			Haha! I might as well been the "Hey!" Guy because conversation rarely got beyond that.	
----
			
I find that when flirting it is best to start with subtle compliments. 
 
"Your vitalus shimmers more beautifully than the stars over Celestion" 
 
Afterwards you can get more direct.
 
"Let's go make out while we both still have lips."

Rocio laughs loudly. "That's great. To be honest I tried that... maybe I wasn't subtle enough, but "Hey those are nice earrings." Usually got a "thanks" and got me ignored the rest of the night. Or worse... bitten."
 
He leans over and says softly. "What's working for me now is, pretty much talking about what she's doing... and if possible joining... then once I'm sure she's not going to bite me, I'll make a move in the middle of a sentence."
----
			
Good Morning Everyone!
 
Had an egg, sausage, & cheese croissant for breakfast. A big glass of milk and some coffee. For some reason, I woke up starving this morning.
 
Had a good weekend, even though my internet decided to act up. Was running a learning vet KV run on Friday and got dc'd right in the middle of it. Couldn't get back on, so went to watch some TV and read. The internet was acting up all weekend, so didn't get much time to play, unfortunately :(

Being bitten is a common problem when flirting on nexus. Aurin will nip, Draken will bite till they draw blood, and an insulted mordesh might go so far as to take a limb.

Good Morning All.
Wiles got to make it to Skullkickers...uhhhh...meeting, about... uhhhh... stuffs! this weekend.  He also got to level 30.
So little bit of playing time really is a bummer, and will be again this week.  
Wiles is making lots of monies though, almost 3 plat at level 30 from all the harvesting he, and his guild mates have been doing :)	
----
			*gives Medbae a treat!

Morning, everyone. Well my continual internet issues finally came to a head last night. Sadly, about five minutes after the Hoogle Hike started. I am *so incredibly sorry* for not making it back in. The wife and I finally got everything sorted out (Thanks, Xfinity Support!) and hopefully I won't have any more of those stupid "Be right back, my internet is being dumb" moments.
 
Sincerest apologies to Neph, Rocio, Elora, Imalia and everyone else. I had been looking forward to that event all week - and when everything went down last night, you probably heard my wailing and cussing from orbit.	
----
			Morning all. At least, for now, dead tired and may crawl back to bed, but I think I'm done with this introductory post for Rocio. Should I post it in the RP category?

Morning everyone.  So.. work and life finally won the battle vs. free time.  I've decided September will be my last month of Wildstar for awhile.  Maybe once life settles down, and Carbine figures out how to make Wildstar compelling, I'll pop back.  Out of all the MMOs I've ever played, Wildstar just doesn't "hook me".  I don't have a drive to log in.  I enjoy it, but it's not addicting.  Combine that with a new career position and my new daughter, just no time.  So.. I'll still be playing through next month, but then I'll be returning to my tree for a bit.
 
On the upside, during my play this weekend (all 2 hours of it lol), I got a purple drop!	
----
			
*stumbles in holding his head, obviously worn from this weekends activities. holds back the urge to burp*
 
G-g....good morning, everyone. Uggh. So this weekend was my "me weekend" since last week was full of fun family medical issues I had to take care of, time to relax, right? Friday was a friends birthday at dive bar downtown... so of course, drinks. Saturday I hosted a Magic: The Gathering draft at my house, 5 hours of MTG and.... of course, drinking. Sunday was recording day for my podcast which involves drinking as well, went through technical difficulties most of the day which meant 8 hours of shooting the *cupcake* and... drinking. Such a horrible choice, but it is what it is.
 
Wildstar news, Wildstar news.... I looked at it with longing feelings over the weekend. The little lady is going to her friends overnight tonight so I may just lock myself in the computer room and lose myself to Nexus At least... *clenches his eyes shut, shaking his head* if I feel better. 
 
Breakfast: Coffee, black as death. like mes.	
----
			
Good morning, everyone. 
 
Today is the first day of school for my middle son. So, I took the day off so I could get him there, meet the teacher, see the classroom, etc. Then I have 2 doctor appointments today. Bleh. But, taking the day off to get this stuff done is better than chopping it up into several days. 
 
In Wildstar news, Dott reached level 17 yesterday. Yay! Was also able to do my first adventures with Jacosta, Jia, Bival, and Rungo. And it was a fun adventure and not a "rush rush, go go go" adventure. :D I actually got to know what was going on. Adventures are so much better that way. 
 
Hoping to play for a while today. :D

Awwwww...   :(

morning all :)
 
Bival tanked a thing!!! Successfully! Woo!
Not sure what it is about Wildstar, but it makes all the things I didn't like in previous games much more fun. Tanking? Used to hate it, now it's a lot of fun. PvP? HATE it, but the Sabotage drop and Warplots just look crazy awesome. Crafting? Skip it before, but now it's pretty great (minus some convoluted trees later on >_<)	
----
			Wiles also got to take test drive in Bivals (Aldren) "Dragon Talon"  "Battle Chicken"  "Weapon of Mass Destruction" this weekend.  That thing is epic

			So when I got to my office there was a leggy lady glistening like shiny black latex there waiting for me. She seems to have done a great job making sure that no moths or bugs have gotten into my stuff, but for the sake of clumsy people, myself included, I escorted her outside to a safer location.

What is supposed to happen is when people get drawn into extended private conversation, they take it to party chat, so new folks can more easily be integrated. That's what someone told me anyway.... they hold a lot of large events and he said that if chat becomes overwhelming the host needs to do something like that to control it.
 
As it was, people were emoting novels that scrolled my conversation completely out of sight before I could read it. :(

When you have a blackwidow spider in a coffee cup, people will avoid you like you are walking with a nuclear device. It's not like these ladies are well know for jumping.

Oh hey, good morning everyone.  I really should say that before I start replying to things :)
 
I need to go do breakfast but since it's Monday I'll probably go all out with bacon, eggs, and toast.  I'm thinking over easy on the eggs.  We'll see though, I may default to my usual scrambled.
 
Thankfully I don't have to be at work early today (that's later this week) but I do have to find out the results of my performance evaluation at the end of the day today.... so that's either going to be awesome... or.... no, it's going to be awesome (please let it be awesome).
 
Anyway yesterday in Wildstar I spent more time in Western Grimvault finishing up various solo quests for Nephele, and then I went to the Hoogle walk which was fun, even if I did confuse a lot of people (Corriban is as unscientific as she can possibly be).
 
But for now... breakfast... and something coffee-like :)

Good morning, all! Played on Lillie some last night. Trying to get her to 50. Need to hook up with some guildies today if I can. 
Also, another poem! 
 
All Hallows Eve 
 
Ghost's and ghoulies, A pumpkin ale.
Scary movies telling frightful tales. 
Cloves and all spice both familiar smells
that cast nostalgia, a most potent spell.
 
There comes a time a single night each year
when the living worship all the things they fear.
It's a time when children don scary masks,
and turn their horrors into joyful tasks.
 
They dress themselves in horrific trappings.
Decrepit mummies wearing tattered wrappings
Or demons and angels from a world beyond-
night time creatures from which nightmares spawn.
 
While honoring spirits from beyond the veil
they knock on doors, and greet faces pale.
Candy tribute at a price most handsome
or a trick is played if denied their ransom. 
 
Songs are sung all in a key most spooky,
Great lengths are taken to ensure all is ooky. 
Games are played involving parts of bodies
while shadows dance around ghouls that party. 
 
Monsters mash and do the thriller dance.
Ghosts start busting as they seize their chance.
As we leave these spirits to their nights reprieve,
we'll live each night like it is All Hallows Eve.

Officially back to work after my vacation...so...yeah...a full morning of archiving old email so I can download everything from the last two weeks. HOORAY <_<

Do you have any patterns or names you usually use?
I've noticed that some of the Exile humans have very human-sounding names still (and even in FireFly, they had names like Mal,"Wash", and Jayne).  Are you going with a name, a nickname, a FirstnameLastname?  
Found a guide here as well:
http://wildstarreport.com/2014/03/26/character-naming-guide-exiles/
 
My names typically start with a T and are variations on Tenebrae and Tepetkhet.  I've a few other variants, but that's the base.
 
-T.

Sent Pugsley back to the Farside Moon to check the Crafting Board and the little hoodlum
spent all his time just hoverboarding around and annoying the locals.
 
 
I don't know how hard the programming would be, but wouldn't it be fun to see a special "Hoverboard Belt or Sneakers of Awesomeness" that
would duplicate the low gravity Physics of the Farside Moon.  Imagine flying around Illium with that.  Make it a semi-rare drop at endgame.
Oh, yeah, and not soulbound so it could be sold on AH. I bet it would sell for serious Platt!

I doubt I'm the only one but yeah I do play.

However, with the staleness of the last Standard season, I'm looking forward to seeing more random/homebrew decks instead of the constant Esper Control/Mono Black Devo and all that crap.

Whatever screenshot was earlier in the thread. Realistic, grim, dark and gritty-feeling ... that's what TESO is. That's what all the ES games were, and it's why I never spent more than two minutes trying to play one.

 Oddly enough 40k which invented the term has grimdark mixed with *cupcake*awesome. Which reminds me of dom a wee bit, only tainted by xeno filth.

I played EVE for a while, and the grimdark really hurts that game.  The problem with the "concept", if you can call it that, is that it tends to wallow so deep in moral ambiguity that you forget there's a point in anything.
 
I like Wildstar's kind of refreshing, "The world's not evil, the people are" take on things.  It's insane in the best way possible.

You'd think that, but my RP character apparently became some kind of lightning rod because he wasn't grimdark. You'd think, as a player, you should have something to work for. The whole atmosphere just tells you that it doesn't matter. You live, make money, you never die.
 
I became a spaceship flying God in order to turn into an office worker, ambivalent to anything but staying employed and helping out my corporation in a giant rat race of corporations all fighting for nothing but nodes of resources that they use to make equipment in order to take over more nodes of resources.
 
I can't just figure, "SANSHA MOTHER*cupcake*ERS! NOW WE RIDE!" There's nothing to crusade against, nothing to even crusade for, nothing to do that requires any kind of care.
 
So I made a bishop who wanted to bring peace and understanding to the universe. It was a wild six months. People hated me!

That's also why if Drusera is revealed to have been the bad guy all along, I'm gonna be really ticked off. It's already rare to have gods who aren't complete jerks who toy with mortals and then mock (or sometimes, even blame) them, so let's spare the uncommon good ones, please.

No, he was always like that.  I have a tendency to make idiosyncratic characters, so in EVE, which has its head rammed firmly up the ass of moral ambiguity, I was playing a bishop who decided to minister to people outside the Amarr Empire.  And everyone hates the Amarr Empire.  They hate the religion and everyone in it.  They have slaves.  I essentially made the most morally upright and kindhearted person in the one game where nihilism goes to breed.  And I've made a lot of friends among players, but the characters?  OOOOOOOOOOOH did most of them hate him.  The guy who called them out for killing each others' crews in their little games, the guy who believed money was the root of all evil, and the guy who went to spread the Word among their people, he was hated everywhere.
 
It's funny how much OOC hate I got.  Seriously, I was fielding at least a mail a week when someone accused me of being an IRL minister of some kind that was just preaching in EVE to make a point.  A lot of people seriously disliked me as a person because my character didn't really fit in and he didn't lose his faith or hope (which is what you're supposed to do if you play someone religious in an RPG).
 
I enjoyed it, but EVE was definitely the game were I caught the most OOC flack for my IC persona.  Apparently, you're not supposed to be able to be a kindly preacher in EVE; it's against the rules or something.

When I was a kid, like 8-9 years old, we would usually get 2-3 good snows during the winter.  The kind where school would shut down for a couple days and everyone would have a foot or two to shovel out of their driveways.  My brother and I would gather up as much snow as we could and build a fortress.  We would lay in a stock of snowballs and dare all the other kids on the block to assault our fortress.  Epic snowball wars would ensue as the kids of the neighborhood would choose sides - our fort, or the neighbor's fort.  In the end, we all had a lot of fun, although someone usually went home crying because they caught a snowball in the face.
 
That's EVE.  EVE is about control.  It's about staking a claim in a hostile galaxy and challenging others to come and try to take it from you.  Can you build enough, and fly well enough, and gather enough people under your banner to keep that system, that constellation, or that region of space?  That's the promise of EVE.
 
You're right that there's not much else, especially not from an RP sense.  There's an amazing backstory, tons of hooks.... but because content is purely player driven, it's hardly used.  The downfall of the pure sandbox approach is that unless you want to build a sandcastle, and you have enough friends to build a bigger sandcastle than the next guy.... there's not all that much to do.
 
I would love to see some more sandboxy elements incorporated into Wildstar.  I love the Archeage concept for example where guilds can build fortresses in war zones and those same fortresses can be destroyed by enemy guilds.  I think Wildstar's open-world PvP game would benefit from some similar ideas.  But at the same time, there should be an NPC element - at the end of the day, Wildstar has the entity and the Strain - an external threat, that fills that gap.
 
As a player I want my sandbox, but I also want my themepark in and around it.  I hope one day this game, or another, manages to do both well enough to convince all my friends to play it and stick with it.

Cowboy-ish name, right?
 
All you need is a good alias.  Cowboys and gunfighters have weird ass nicknames.

{| class="blockquote"
 
 Well I'll get a second opinion here first. I got the name I was considering using was "Vashyron" who was an acrobatic(well all three of the main characters were really) gunslinger in the xbox 360 game Resonance of Fate. He only used one gun, started with a 1911 but eh.
 
 
If I try nicknames I might would more try to do anime ish title names more than IRL gunslinger nicknames which were mostly inside jokes from their buddies more often than not like most irl nicknames. They seemed to kind of go out of popularity after WW2 I noticed.
 
Like just in the 101st Airborne E Company you had some cool nicknames and some odd. One guy had a cool and a insulting inside joke nickname. His real name was William J. Guarnere, his nicknames were "Wild Bill", "Gonorrhea" , the latter was due to the word's similarity to his surname.
 
Or in the same company  Warren H. "Skip" Muck.

Hey, one of the baddest gunfighters on the old West was nicknamed "Pink."  It came from his full name John Pinkey Calgoun Higgins.  He eventually died of old age and was the real serious business.
 
Anything else beyond the cowboy thing?  If I were using that, I might bring in my profession or a part of my character's background to bring it up.
