Good morning everyone!
 
Today marks the first of many with pumpkin spice coffee and a plethora of pumpkin flavored things, because well... it's everywhere and I love it.
 
 
Last night I rerolled a stalker with a friend and just had a great time doing a little RP/questing.
 
 
Meet Hiraeth, Mnemosyne's forever getting lost companion.
 
What are your plans this week in game? Mine are finishing up a few houses I've been asked to decorate and pack because I'm moving this weekend and will be away from the game for a while. :(
 
P.S. I fail at titles.	
----
			
Awesome ... so ... Stalkers are the topic de jour? ;)
 
I used to think stalkers were OP for leveling until I got more familiar with each class.  I think they are now pretty much balanced and on par with each other ( again for leveling ).
 
I do like the stalker class in WS because it reminds me of a combination of Subtlety Rogue or Combat Rogue from WoW ( depending on if you are DPS or Tank ). To me the class plays the same as either ( again depending ).  This is cool ( to me ) because I know how to use those tactics.
 
But, again after playing all the classes, I don't see one more powerful than the other ( for the leveling game ). ;)

Well I am back on to Skinny Latte with Sugar-free Carmel Syrup. I was on Americanos last week, which is my idea of being healthy! I do like the sugar-free syrup as long as I do not think about what on earth do you make syrup from (or caramel for that matter) if it is not sugar? Although fun fact the sugar-free caramel syrup from a large popular syrup brand still has the picture of a massive bag of sugar on the label! Makes me giggle anyway.
 
I also rolled a Stalker at the weekend though I went for a Mechari whose name is Tyvire. Though with mega-servers coming I am starting to think about how the name will change with a second name. I am thinking Tyvire Theta, not sure if that fits or not. Loving the class so far. Finding them great fun to level with, really enjoying taking on Prime mobs alone and still being able to win. I found that a bit trickier with my Esper when levelling, though that may have been because they were stationary when I levelled one. Not tried the tanking stance yet., so much till to explore on them!	
----
			TBH, if you use a DPS build while leveling  .. most classes do just fine.  I think Medic DPS is very viable.  DPS Medics can nearly clear content as fast as stalkers, and Spellslingers ( at least as far as I can tell ). ;)	
----
			
Hops into the topic and smells the scent of pumpkin filling the place.
Grabbing some of the deliciousness, Olivar hops to his seat and starts eating.
 
Chua finally done with dungeon part of attunement.
Now killing world bosses, halfway done. Chua almost done with entire attunement, still some parts, but goal in sight :D
Now helping other members get through dungeons by healing Skullcano and Swordmaiden.
 
Chua even had lot of fun in Skullcano yesterday. Cleared entire dungeon without dieing :D
Is shame lost tank on one trash pack or might have gotten immortal achievement.....
Chua think will be able to get next time if ca make same group again.
Chua find healing dungeons quite fun actually.
 
Chua unfortunatly not had breakfast.......
So Chua happy to get some here :D
Big party at work today too!
Chua think going to be drunk.....

This weekend had been horrible. An overnight stay at the hospital, being woken up every 2 hours to check my vitals. Throwing up everywhere. Feeling dizzy.
 
Today I feel a lot better.
I'm just so thankful for my guild.
And maybe I'll hop ingame and help a few people with world bosses later. :)

You know, the one up side to me with the giant megaserver move is that I can join a French RP channel in addition to English.   :)  (Though I confess, my French is largely from university study so I don't always know MMO terms....kind of hard to look up things like "kiting" in the English-French dictionary!)
 
Today's plans for "not work" are to see if I can get my engineer to 20 (Stormtalon Lair), build her a proper tanking build, and then....well...we'll see.
 
In the "work" segment of the day, digging through a week's worth of email (yay vacation, boo back to work), then trying to see about expanding my current article on child soldiers in Mexico into a longer journal article in preparation for journal submission.  Don't suppose any of you are TCO experts?

"Topic DU jour", s'il vous plaît, que diantre! I am très offended by your viol of the french langue, kind monsieur.

Work, man.... work..... *wipes crap out of his eyes and tries to focus on words*
 
I really wonder why they allow us to drive to work everyday this early in the morning.
 
Anyway, got Spenser to 48 last night (I think... or was it 49?)  He's in Grimvalt now, and I imagine he'll be 50 in the next few days if not by tonight.  Then, I'll probably hop back to Seeger and keep an eye on how things are going everywhere else.  But at the very least, I'll have a 50 on both sides of the faction divide pursuant to any eventualities that may occur to the megaserver merger.
 
I'm actually excited about the megaserver move now.  Before, I was a bit more reticent about it and what it will do to the RP community (and I'm going to continue pushing for RP instancing for open zones; if I keep on keeping on with it, we might get it as soon as they know the new server is stable).  However, I know a lot of people that do not RP that I'll be able to do content with, and it does make me happy that I'll be able to do that.  While it means the RP community is going to have to learn to swim in the ocean and lock arms, we are getting a larger server for mechanical purposes.  I'm kind of happy about that, thinking on it, so it's not all doom and gloom over here.  Not to mention that the RP community has been largely adamant that everyone, even megaserver supporters, want RP instancing sooner rather than later.  I have a feeling we'll get it soon.  Even the non-RPers are backing us on that.
 
After Spenser hits 50, I'll hop on Seeger and see what we've got as far as support roles are concerned before I start pelting Nephele with cores and asking for tanking gear.  I'm sort of worried presently about the implications of the gear and stat changes upcoming making my crafted gear useless, but I may bite the bullet.  I want to run some IC events that end in instance runs.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
@Niliana - Happy to hear you are feeling better :). Sad to hear you had to spend the weekend in the hospital :(.
 
This weekend I spent getting my new Exile leveled up. Got to 15. I am slow going on this one due to trying to see everything and get all the lore for the first time. I will get to max level at some point, but, for now, I am having all kinds of fun exploring :)
 
Sorry for the confusion yesterday, Kaelish. I forgot I wasn't using Cirinde as my ingame name. Thank you for the invite to your circle! I am looking forward to getting to know everyone :)
 
Having dry Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast. Stomach is a little upset. Coffee didn't sit well this morning so switched to Green Tea with honey.
 
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?
 
Today might be my last day on WildStar for a while. Emphasis on MIGHT. I posted a long rant on the <Skullkickers> forum last night so I am still waiting for the miracle. Good start though (see WildStar news below). Had Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast too. I just noticed that they leave a weird aftertaste so I might actually drop those in favour of vanilla-flavoured Rice Krispies. Today is the day I FINALLY get to solve my little rent problem (head office charged me twice for September) starting at noon. Once that is solved, I can focus on something else. I have paperwork to do, which will be incredibly boring but it is part of the job.In WildStar news, I ran my first veteran adventure as an Esper. I was expecting to score something like 3/3/3 but went 1/1/3 and we even scored a gold medal. It was War of the Wilds so it is not all that impressive but still was a great start to my day. Beyond that, I have to do the dailies in Crimson Badlands because I totally forgot about it yesterday, what's with the doom and gloom and death and despair going around. Maybe I should ditch the Dominion and go back to the Exiles but I would miss being and being around Chua. Meh.Danger ahead! Danger behind! Maybe danger sideways.

I have to sincerely admit your name caught me from left field, whoa boy. :) There was lots of squinting and asking in guild if someone was trollin' me. Haha, but good times overall. Sorry I was so busy I didn't get to chat more with you one-on-one! Mostly everyone in the circle has an amazing layout or they're working on it. Everyone there goes to visit and help one another out, so feel free to ask for ideas/feedback/help whenever!

*wanders in from vacation, obviously still dazed and not ready to return to the living Hell which is work*
 
Morning all my fellow Coffee'teers!
 
Unfortunately I bring no Wildstar news from the Muncheez/Draonyx front since I was out of town on vacation. Definitely needed due to a lot of crazy stuff going on right now in my life, it was nice to get away from everything if only for a few days. Only thing I got for breakfast is my usual insanely large mug of coffee.
 
I do, however, plan to do some serious leveling on Muncheez this week. I'm thinking of even pulling all my computer stuff into a crawlspace in our house and hiding out there so no one will find me... *cackles evilly* yes....yessssssss	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Tex no minions?
Chua has minions for Work.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I can't trust my minions to do my work. They have their own work.
 
If I could trust them to do my work, then I wouldn't have any work to do ... which would make more time for Wildstar. Well, at least until the end of the month when my sub ran out and I'd have no money to resub. Or food to eat. Or electricity or internet or ... wife. :lol:
----
			
Good morning everyone!
 
What a crazy weekend. Friday was an extremely stressful day. Not good stress, bad stress. But hopefully that stress is behind us now. The rest of the weekend was okay. It went by too fast. 
 
I didn't play Wildstar this weekend. So, instead of news, I'll discuss plans. :D I'm planning to get Dott out of Whitevale this week and to my favorite zone: Farside! I don't know if I can hit 36, but if I can I'll upgrade her house. :D Then I might just get lost in housing for a while. 
 
Topic of the day is stalkers? Okay. Well, Xila is a level 50 Stalker. :D I really enjoy that class. The speed is great. It was hard to play the other classes at first after getting Xila from 1-50 with no breaks. My favorite thing about stalker, though, is the stealth. I love stealth. I think it was a great first class and someday I'll go back and get her all her gems and things. But having too much fun with Dott right now. :D

I have a stalker alt that I started last month sometime. She's level 10, I think. I haven't played her in a while. Even though I loved playing her, I prefer to play a caster type character. I might level her after I am done with my new one.
 
I may re-do her because I picked Settler for her path, which I am not liking.

Chua agree, Settler really tedious to level.
But pay off in the end!
Many event quests for settler easy and fun. + free repair bot in dungeons :D

Good morning everyone.  My vacation is over and it's back to work for me today, too....  Since last week was a short week, I only have..... 900 or so emails that made it past all my inbox rules while I was out.  That's a couple hours this morning.  Then I need to pull all of last month's business data and update all the charts we use in our presentations and stuff (I really need to automate that sometime).  Oh and meetings.  Looks like the first status meetings start at 10 am today.  I'm willing to bet that nothing important happened at all while I was out, and that the folks in the meetings are still talking about the same things they were talking about the last three times I attended them.  In fact, if the pattern holds, the only real change will be that someone invented a new TPS cover sheet and I need to make sure I start using that. ;)
 
Bleh.  I wish I could just stay on vacation (and keep getting paid) indefinitely.  It's a good thing I like the non-BS parts of what I do :)
 
Anyway, Wildstar stuff.  I don't have a stalker.  My guild has lots of stalkers.  They seem really popular.  But um.... yeah.  About those adventures!
 
Yesterday I got to do Crimelords of Whitevale for the first time.  That is SUCH a fun adventure to RP through.  Seriously it was so awesome.  I think I'm going to try to find a way to run it at least 2 more times this week.  I might even start calling my guildies "youse guys" when I talk to them in guildchat.
 
The only other thing noteworthy from yesterday is just a little announcement we made over on the Evindra forum.
 
Off I go to do to do my coffee, breakfast, puppy, workout, shower, traffic, office, lunch, please-let-it-end dailies for the day.  See ya'll when I can come up for air :)

{| class="blockquote"
There is that. It's the tediousness on getting there, that's making me rethink.

It's not tedious if you're OCD.
 
Just sayin'... I have a settler and can't run by an area without gathering mats and building everything.

I'm a hoarder in games by nature. Gathering is my thing. But Settler is not fun. It was extremely frustrating that I can't make a helpful node. I can make part of a helpful node. If no one else is there, it doesn't do anything.... That was my issue. It's tedious not for the gathering but for the reliance on hoping other people are settlers.
 
In my old guild we discussed how the Settler front mount flair was probably a big neon sign that flashed "You're Welcome, Cupcakes!l because everyone wants the stuff Settlers make but no one wants to be a Settler. :P
----
			
*grabs coffee* *nods*  Not much from Sunday.  Had to work.  See Saturday Coffee for images of Skullkicker Carnival.  We've got 1 more plot to do, and we're building either a bar, ticket stand or games inside the Rocket ship.  (Still debating).  Outside of that, scarred a guildie's brain for life when he/she figured out what Gynobotix meant.  
 
As for Monday?  Yea.  It's Monday.  *adds Whiskey into his coffee*  Yep.  Monday.

For settlers my main problem is the duration is so short.  I build something and 5-10 minutes later it's gone.
 
A recent day in Thayd while I was on my settler:
 
Zone:  "Hey what happened to the teleports?"
Zone:  "Oh those are settler things.  I guess there's no settlers around."
Zone:  "Oh really?  They used to always be up.  What happened to all the settlers?"
...Nephele's settler goes and activates the teleports...
Me:  "Enjoy the teleports everyone!  Courtesy of all us settlers out there.
Zone:  "Yay thanks!"
...10 minutes later...
Zone:  "Wow did the teleports expire already?  That sucks."

Barghest finally hit 45.
 
She also started building up her housing plot.
 
She either does not care about basic safety protocol in a lab setting or she is simply unaware.
 
I'm not sure which is scarier.
 
Also, since Barghest is a settler, I can honestly say
 
that I don't build for others. 
 
I just got in it for the titles.

Mornin' all!
 
Stalkers are the bane of my medic's existence in wPvP. Just saying. I can hold my own against just about anything else, even without PvP gear equipped, but Stalkers are mean.
 
 
WE HATES THEM. ...and those invincible Espers, too. :D
 
I'm just grateful I have large AoEs to try to knock them out of stealth, and Devastator Probes to keep them visible.

I loved my medic in beta, I can't stand her in the real game. Idk what happened.

Good morning everybody! Finally got a day off since before I went away for work. But lucky me, I get to run errands most the day. Oh well, tis life. XD. Any who...
 
In wildstar news, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm probably gonna transfer my Slinger over to evindra exile side and level him to 50. So now I gotta figure out what I'm doing for my dommie side cause I don't want two healers. So now I'm debating. Female draken stalker or chua/mechanic engineer.....I just not know. :( anybody got any thoughts?

Good morning forumites.
 
In Wildstar news, I decided that I might as well level some of the 24 characters I have now, so I'm leveling my Exiles on Avatus now.	
----
			
Did I misunderstand the thing with having more than 12 characters? Like, when a new class/race or combo is opened up, you'd have to delete characters until you only had 11, in order to experience that new thing?
 
I mean, I ain't judging. Do what you want, it's your game ... but that kind of seems a little, I dunno, short-sighted, I guess?
 
I'd be pretty loathe to level up 24 toons, only to have to delete 13 of them when Granok Stalkers (or whatever) become a thing.

Maybe they'll allow a free race change token for when those happen...I would hope.
 
..if that ever does happen...

People heavily overstate the difficulty of dungeons.
 
Is it because these people didn't start playing mmos until the giant aoe fests of wrath of the lich king or something?
 
I remember having to cc 2-3 mobs out of a 4 mob pull then focus fire and work them down one at a time.
 
None of these whippersnappers remember vanilla scarlet armory!

I wanted 12 character slots and now it will be a thing. I'll have 7 made, because I want to make a Draken. But otherwise I'm saving the other 5 slots for future use.
 
Like Chua stalker. 
 
Or... Protostar Clone rolling a whole new class... Middle Management. Skills include ambush abilities. Lots of dot buffs/debuffs like "coffee break," which boosts ally skills and ads a haste. Or "excess paperwork" which slows enemies. :D	
----
			
So yeah we had a crap tank in stormtalon immediately quit after a minute, behavior of which I think should lose you like a dozen levels. Then amazingly we got a good tank. Run went fine. We got to stormtalon himself then he did the eye of the storm thing and my sorry butt was in left field so I just died.... as in about one minute later all of the other dps did too.... the tank and heals soloed stormtalon from 50% hp to 0.
 
We got two epics or whatever purples are called here. I won one, probably didn't deserve it but eh I was the only slinger and it was slinger stats.	
----
			
Heh, yeah, I've got five of the six fairly well spoken for. I've re-rolled the sixth slot like ten times already since launch. :lol:
 
I don't know what I'll do with seven more slots. Probably nothing, for a long time.

I know I'll make more characters once I get the mains off the ground, and I'll probably start alts to level with friends with my plethora of new space.  I do still need a Draken and an Aurin... I guess.

To be fair.... I think Stalkers are OP in general and that's why I'm playing one.  B) Although it's a complete 180 for me as a player because I've never really devoted time to playing any class that couldn't heal.

That could just be someone trying to be friendly, although I'm also a bit weirded out when people start asking RL questions when you don't really know who they are.  xD
 
And then there are the whispers because your names mean something completely different in someone else's language. For example, go from a Japanese server with a character named Moshi Moshi to a German server, and you can expect to be reported. Oh, the fun things you learn during study abroad. :lol:

			You guys just need to stop offering free candy to /zone and you'll be alright.

			I'm lucky to see the /w at all some days. For some reason, Guild and Circle chats always catch my attention, but whispers don't. Maybe it's that awful pink color it has. I really need to change that lol.

And you could do something like that: Create another chat panel, add whisper and account whisper in it, and remove the whisper from your primary panel. People whisping you and you don't want to? Stop monitoring your whispering panel for a good 10-30min. If he is still talking to you... well man you are F

{| class="blockquote"
ChatAdvanced is great, but the sticky whisper thing really screws me up when I'm trying to talk to people and account whispers get thrown in there. Like Shah from Evindra who no longer remembers me.  :( Apparently my whisper was met with a bunch of confusion and then later, because I went to whispering someone on the server, I couldn't respond to the account whisper. Ugh. Rare that problem happens and the ability to color all my circles/whispers/trade/yell/party/guild/officerchat/zone/say whatever I want more than compensates.

I don't get the reference with the name. I did play a game that was based in hamburg, all the text was in English but much of the player base was German and they were a bit touchy. If I recall this one player got like perma banned for getting a level and saying "Sieg Hail!" Which on it's own as I understand it, simply means "Hail Victory!" which could make sense to be something to say when getting a level but people knee jerking with connotations people got butthurt.

That's my point. it's not in the same context.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
The Germans don't care about context. They care about making sure that future generations of Earthlings do not equate modern Germany with Nazi-era Germany - even if that means trying to make everyone "forget it happened" by refusing to talk about it.
 
As a huge fan of history and historical context, I've always found the German aversion to discussing the past to be a true travesty to future generations.

Ah okay, I guess I was misinformed then. (No biggie, it happens a lot) ... I was under the impression they didn't talk about it AT ALL. Like, not even in a historical or educational context. Having never been there, I wouldn't know the full extent of their aversion.
 
No worries, either way, for me. I live in a place where even neo-Nazism is okay, so long as you don't go hurting people. I think it's a bit insane to follow teachings like that, but hey, the Tea Party can do what it wants.

History in Wildstar:
 
The lore may be hard to find sometimes, but exploring (and downloading a good lore tracker addon) will make you see what happened in the past. This will also give you respect for the people who fought for what you have now. The freedom to pummel that annoying Chua or Aurin in the ground and call it PvP!
 
A great (IMHO) game that makes you laugh and keeps you busy :)

I wonder if it will interfere with NoAlienChat, or vice versa? Seems some chat addons interfere with each other to the point you can't use them together.

You need an addon to change in game colors of the various communication methods.
 
I use ChatAdvanced, go back a few and it'll tell you the cons. I've been told by Killroy's developer that it can do that too as well as limit /say, /emote range, but have not yet installed to try it.

LOPP COMBAT TECHNIQUES
 
[This instructive book by the famed Lopp bounty hunter Marshal Yubbi outlines the basics of Lopp combat. It is not a lengthy book.]
 
SPEARSpear is chosen weapon of Lopp, especially. Most Lopp make own spear or inherit spear from family. Spear really useful! Spear make holes in things with the stabbing. Also useful to see how deep water is before walking kurg across it. And for stabbing!
 
KURGKurg! Every Lopp love kurg. Lot of kurg to love! But kurg also useful weapon. Why? Big! Way bigger than Lopp! Kurg-stomp work just as good as spear-hole, if not hunting! If are hunting, kurg-stomp good for tenderizing meat!
 
CRAZY BIG-FOLK WEAPONSBig-folk make lots of crazy weapons! But Nexus big scary place. Makes sense! Lopp love spears, but Lopp have to learn guns too. Just remember: point the glowy end away from face!
 
RUNNINGLopp’s best friends are hippity-hoppity feet! Stay out of way, and be Lopp brave. Then lure baddies into scariness! Lots of big scaries on Nexus. Also, could just run away. Running always good for Lopp! Good exercise too.
 
TEETHI know! Controversial. But Lopp have good teeth for the chompy-chomp! Get bitey. Go crazy! Nobody expects Lopp bites! Just make sure not to bite somebody trying to bite you already. That gets complicated.
 
SPEARReally! Best weapon! Been a while since we talked about it. Don’t forget! Also good for hanging laundry, or for measuring how far Lopp can jump. And the stabbing! Always the stabbing.

A simple way to do it if you're for some reason having trouble uploading from a link, is drag the image to your desktop, open imgur.com drag image from desktop to site, click the "upload" button, bam it's there! Then just link to imgur here :)
 
Edit: After the upload, imgur will display the image but in a sort of frame (not direct image), click on it and it'll display the full path to the image itself.

You quite possibly never want to run with me because if I think the run isn't entertaining enough, and someone has totally made me DPS instead of heal like I prefer, I will turn into SS Tank. It's a very enjoyable experience, especially when you get the healer in on it. ;)

Go to your Reply box on the forums and click the Image icon.  Paste the URL in.
 
Just tested and...well, okay.  That explains a few things.
I was having trouble getting a picture to load earlier from my Photobucket account to show somebody at work, but just assumed it was my phone's connection being crappy.

You and me both. It's part of the reason why I haven't gotten into RP. It's too much to keep in my head.
 
As an example, I've been leveling alts waiting for my main to stop exploring the void on his way to Evindra. Last week, I was on my Aurin Esper for several days, got him to 16 and settled with a house and basic costume. So, then this weekend, I switched to my Engineer.
 
Well, all of a sudden, running around, I started seeing a /say conversation that started with, "But at least we didn't run into any filthy Exiles." First thought in my head was, "I'll cut you." (gotta remember, I'm from a PvP server).
 
So, I hunted them down and got ready to start a fight...and realized that I was playing a Mechari.

So yeah, while I'm daydreaming and questing, I'm not likely to be aware of little details like what planet I'm on or who I'm fighting for. :lol:
