Morning everyone,
 
First time making this thread, hopefully I can come through with style~
 
First, the breakfast. I wanted to bring in a little Canadian flavour so you're gonna eat this peameal and you're gonna like it!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then a little something to wash down all the grease. Unfortunately you're going to have to DIY the actual drink, though I brought some ingredients...
 
 
 
 
 
 
(Yes, chocolate-raspberry is my favourite coffee, though I'm mostly an oolong tea drinker!)
 
 
So I've named this thread after Wildstar's players— new and old— who have kept the game going. But in particular it was a shout-out to the Dominion RP community, which came through last night with a wonderful showing of at least thirty to forty people at Golah Jo's new marketplace. This was seriously the most RPers I've seen in one place since the launch honeymoon. It was fantastic to see folks running around, trading, acting inappropriately and just being awesome.
 
There was a time, about a month or two ago, when I felt like the RP community (and the game in general) was struggling. Well I'm not sure we're out of the woods yet, but last night was a solid indication that, as many of us know, MMOs can be incredibly resilient when the players put effort into creating community. This is the foundation of longevity: Ensuring that, regardless of how many people are online at a given time, you feel part of something. I've never been much of an RPer but I respect roleplay and it's been great to finally be part of the RP community as more than just an observer... and housing has a lot to do with that. <3
 
In essence, this is why I Wildstar. ;)

Sounds like fun.
 
Sunday evening we had sort of a meta roleplay event in Final Frontier.  Verana Bloodrose hosted a murder mystery party.  So there we were playing characters in the mystery.  I explained this to my son, that I was playing a character who was playing another character.  His immediate response was "Yo dawg, I heard you liked playing characters, so I made a character for your character."  Teenagers with internet access... typical :-)
 
Had a great raid last night.  Final Frontier got a really nice and clean Convergence kill, so we're 5/6 in GA now.  Also downed Malfunctioning Gear and Malfunctioning Dynamo quite easily.  Then we went downstairs and proceeded to wipe to Gravitron because... hell I don't know.  We were a little giddy after Floor 2's success :-).
 
Anyhow, more attunement and gearing helping tonight for all, and I'll have to look into seeing if I can make something nice for Thaydfest.  I only have one really nice pattern, but it might be alright.  Really depends on getting lucky with some material drops (Biophage Clusters)
 
Hope everyone is staying warm on a Tuesday.  It's still (unfortunately) February.

Last night went poorly. I got an ocular migraine just about the time I got home from work. For those that don't know about those, you get a blank spot in your vision. You can see above, and below it, but there is just a big spot that isn't there. I have had them before, but it's still pretty terrifying to hold up your hand and just be able to see the ends of the fingers, and the arm, but nothing else.
 
So as I was pretty much blind, I handed the game over to my wife. I'm guessing that most of the guild was in TS, because she wasn't really pleased with getting no response from however many of you were on.
 
Today I think we are just going to work on housing, and I will probably try and talk her through Auroria.

That's messed up, Arachnaas. Hope that doesn't happen often!
 
You're on Dominion side, right? Are you in Delve Deep?

Or not?  That was weird.
 
Anyway....

Congrats on the kill! Final Frontier is Exile? Love the reference :P

Last night was really fun, did a bunch of random things.  Did my CB and NW dailies for the first time with Dixie and Spouse and had a lot of fun, they had to endure me not having a clue what i was doing XD  We then did some Vet shiphands with a couple other guildies.  Did the daily then attempted to get gold on Space Madness for Dixie's final gold, and i failed twice to exploding rowsdoser.  Doing it with 5 people, we were doing the strategy and exploding the rowsdoser on purpose and avoiding them.  On the second time, i got hit by the very last one =(  But 3rd time was the charm and we got it when someone else did it.  Was a ton of fun
 
Then i went and visited the Shadowcaster for the first time.  Holy crap.....i was basically in pure awe of what has been made there.  Its absolutely amazing and if you haven't seen it, you need it.
 
Been on most of this morning and managed to find 2 more epic pieces in my random adventures of doing random things, so Cycotik now has 6 epics to his healing set =D though these runes are getting rather expensive.
 
 
Anywho, im done rambling!  Have a good Tuesday everyone ^_^

Oh so you want to know what I did last night?
 
Well....
 
 
I was working on my..... foot fetish!
 
 
Just kidding. But you may ask, "Zub, why would you need to make such large feet"? And I would say, "Well, there is this giant ship attached to them..."
 
 
 
....also the elevator works.

Anyway....
 
 
 
I was on and chatty.  Which character am I looking for?  I was talking to pretty much everyone once I logged in.  Had some visitors to see how the Shadowcaster is progressing and invited Evalyn from Evindra now that she's back in the game.  I wasn't leaving anyone hanging, I don't think.
 
I didn't get home until well after 7.  Long day at work, as they'll often be for the next few weeks.  We're very deadline heavy and people are falling behind, which means we tend to have to start working on projects to get them out the door that we've not been accounting for.  So now I'm on two projects I wasn't on, and they HAVE to get done.  I suppose I'm the better person to stay late.  I don't have kids, and my PA didn't get to see his daughter for a week because he got home after her bedtime during the permitting run-up.
 
Well, I got home, got on Donne, got into the Shadowcaster and... DID A LOT! :D  I'm really happy with how some of it's turning out!  I started moving along the back wall of the second floor, which I was worried if I was going to be able to effectively use, and the library and small garden area (both usable as conference areas) turned out REALLY well for hip-fired projects.  I think I'll leave them in place.  I also did some work on the lounge area, though that's not feeling the way I want it to feel, so it may require a lot more work.  The main conference room I've got set up to be a bit more awesome, though I'll need a little more decor to make that work.  Cirinde dropped a couple platinum into the project, so I'm not hurting for liquid cash, nor is decor headroom an issue (for now).  I just need to get better results out of some of the things I've got.
 
However, going forward, I've got some great ideas and a lot to do.  I started a layout for the science lab, though I'll need Kitty's input on how that comes together when there's time.  I'm starting to change the staircase again to something that'll require a lot more eyeballing, I still haven't touched the brig besides cladding it, and as I stated earlier the actual lounge area doesn't feel right.  It's a rather large space, so I may need to get creative.  Still, all in all, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel here.  God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be done by the weekend.  Just have to keep up the pace.
 
At least the abovedecks is done and looks great!  We're essentially open for business.
 
Tonight, if I'm on, it won't be until VERY late (band practice tonight), but I hope to at least get home in time to get a little bit done.  Until then, see you on Nexus!

Dat Grav Pad ;) (Kudos to Kelzam for the original idea, I just took it to the next logical step)
 
Here picture! One side goes up, one side goes down. The sloped portion at the top of the shaft that comes up from the lower deck knocks you out of the shaft. Access to all 5 levels without stairs.

			Missed the start of the stream.  Any announcements?

Good Afternoon Everyone!
 
I know, I've been quiet the past few days on the forums. Too much work to do with the end of month stuff. Have one thing left to do, then I can return my attention to more important things :lol:
 
Saturday: Did some stuff around my house plot - changed some things and added/deleted others. Getting it just perfect for the ThaydFest housing contest. Attended the Fashion Gala hosted by DoomKitty Saturday night. Had a blast watching and cheering everyone one. Actually entered the Duo with Nova and won! Yes, I am still surprised I/we won LOL. I messed up a few times but don't think anyone noticed but Nova, who was great about the whole thing :)
 
A huge thank you to DoomKitty, Myrick Renolds (your plot was just awe inspiring!), DJ Malak (the music was fantastic!), and the many other people involved in making the Gala a truly fun and wonderful event!!
 
Sunday: Worked on my house pretty much all day. Did my dailies and some Vet Shiphands, I think. Weekend was kinda a blur :unsure:
 
Monday: Grouped up with Cyco and Khandi to do the dailies. Then we added Dord and Elsa and did VSH Space Madness. Had lots of fun plowing through it 3 times. Finally got the last gold I needed for VSHs. Now I can just do them for the fun of it :P
 
Arachnaas: If I was on when your wife come on, I apologize for not seeing her. I have been a little anti-social the past few days, but trying to keep up with gchat/logins/logoffs.  The best way to get my attention, if I don't answer in gchat, is to /whisper me. I have an addon that pops up a box on my screen when someone does.
 
Shoutout to an awesome community, both Exile and Dominion, but mostly Exile B)
 
Okay back to work. See you all on Nexus.
 
Have a great day!
