Good morning, Nexus!
 
That is "The Roscoe Taco" ... a glorious creation of Southern fried chicken strips, thick-sliced bacon, a crispy waffle and a fried egg, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla and served with a side of real maple syrup. You're welcome.
 
This weekend was a really good time in Wildstar. I re-created my Granok Warrior and plowed through to level 21 before I went to bed last night. As the old saying goes "what a difference" a couple of updates made. Particularly in Algoroc, I noticed quite a few rough spots had been smoothed, quests relocated or totally redesigned and generally the entire experience was more pleasant than it's ever been (and believe me, I've been running toons through Northern Wastes and Algoroc for going on two years!)
 
Galeras is still *really* buggy in spots. Ran into a couple of bugs I *know for a fact* have been there since early beta. The one that just irks me to no end is the "Rescue the XAS Researchers" from the Pell down in that dusty valley. To this day, there are still a dozen researchers NO WHERE NEAR ANY PELL and thus, you can't "rescue" them. They just cower there, in the middle of the road, for no reason - and there is nothing you can do to convince them to just quit being a crybaby and run off home.
 
All that aside, it's still been a lot of fun seeing the stream-lining that's taken place, plus learning the ropes of combat again.
 
Have a great day and I'll see y'all in-game tonight!

My children all were out of the house Friday night, so I had a glorious Saturday morning. I couldn't believe how restful it was! I got some major work done on my add on, and it's getting close to being a really usable group finder! Also, was working on it and explained to someone in guild chat why I wasn't responding quickly (I was bouncing between Houston and WS) and he asked about it. I described it and he said "Oh- I have that! It's great!" That was pretty validating :D
 
In raid news, my raid group got about 20 minutes worth of pulling in on Convergence. Was fun, though we had no idea what we were doing. But we are getting faster and faster- and I got a lot of good upgrades this week (first really big upgrades from this raid group since we started, in fact).
 
Finally, last night got into an alt raid with my wife (I went on my warrior). It was great fun. She's never raided before and had a blast. She hadn't finished world bosses yet, so she consumed a pristine key I'd bought in case this happened. Best 25 plat I've spent in game! Got all the way up to Ohmna and she even got a convergence weapon. I think we're gonna finish tonight.
 
Pretty good weekend for WS I must say. In real life we have some personal stuff going on today that's pretty stressful, but hopefully it will pass and we can get on to more fun stuff :)

Due to headache, and general frustration with all things living, I didn't get to play much. Most of what I did was to calmly push Vunnu to level her spell slinger. 
 
We also built some stuff. 
Courtyard needs a lot of stuff, and windows
 
 
The Chapel needs chairs and a roof
 
 
 
This sort of draken room is probably nearly done. Needs a few more magicy looking stuff
 
 
 
On Sunday night Vunnu's draken,
Who is the most majestic creature on Nexus
 
 
went to the Malgrave beach event to people watch. There were not as many people as I remember from when it started, but there were more female Granok there than I have ever seen. Kitty was there, and that made Vunne rather happy even if I don't remember seeing their characters talk. 
 
No one seemed brave enough to try out the Lopp pie, so I brought it here.

I might feel bad, but I got a draken wife, and a draken Mother-in-Law that I would not want to offend. (No seriously, Mama V got to see Vunnu's draken and commented about how she always wanted a tail like that, and how nice Draken horns look.) 
So I'm going to take my chances with the crying Lopp, vs offended Draken women.

Actually, I think that's just because the researchers and Pell respawn at different times.  No idea why, but it could be a fix for another bug relating to them spawning concurrently.  However, I think the Protostar and Ikthians spawn concurrently outside Prosperity Junction, so I'm not sure f it's really that big of a deal.

Oh, it's not a BIG deal, just a deal. Something I've noticed since ... oh ... forever. :lol:  At least you can complete the quest now. There was a time when the spawn rate/bug was so bad, you couldn't finish it in one go. Had to do one or two, then come back a while later, do two more, then hope for the best when you made a third pass through the area.
 
And best of luck man, we got a mess of newbies this weekend! Good times!

Ah, still remember that 'Rescue the XAS Researchers' quest, took forever!
Hope everyone enjoyed the easter weekend. For breakfast, had cereal and home-made pancake with honey.
 
RP update: After near perma-death and out of body experience on 1st April, gave up science. Am now trying out new things to sate boredom. Been hiding under judge hat and scarf while searching for jobs to hide identity, as many think Moska dead. Why hide? Because the few people that know I'm still here beg me to do science one more time! Not want anymore jobs or requests in that area EVER AGAIN! But yes...will do this last project to save frien...um...acquaintance of mine.

Jeff, is that available to download yet? If so, what's the name on it? When I hear people in chat talking about the crappy LFG tool, I try to shout out that there is an addon for it, or that one is in the works.  :wub:

{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, the bugs are a lot better than they were in the glory days.  Maybe one day, if the game survives and thrives, we'll have the experience of telling new players years from now how Wildstar launched as a buggy mess, and people will roll their eyes at us like we're telling them about the price of bread.  I had to tell people for years in WoW that there was a time when they were literally paying us intermittently to play because of the issues.

This weekend has been pretty eventful. I got my newest alt to level 50!
I honestly didn't expect my second level 50 Dominion character to be another chua, but with the other alts I had planned this was the best option.
 
It's also the first time I've gotten a non-spellslinger to 50. Engineer's been pretty fun. I know most people use bruiserbot instead of diminisherbot, but I like how diminisherbot looks. Also once I learned how to use it better it helped a bunch with its snares, though I guess bruiserbot stalls enemies a bit better. Nontheless, the snare stalling is fun.
 
But yeah, now that I've got another character to level 50 it's time for more veteran stuff! This time while tanking! Now that I have a level 50 character that can tank, I can see how tanking the veteran stuff is.

No, telling my nephew about my NES.... that made me feel old.
 
"You know those games you download on your Wii that you think are broken because they're pixelated?  Yeah.... we used to play those for hours and thought they were the best things ever invented...."

			If someone wanted to take a tour of all of your houses, is there a good list somewhere?

{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, I tried explaining to my younger kids that, once upon a time, when a show came on television, you HAD to watch it then - because it could be months or years before a show ran a second time, if ever. No dear, I didn't always have TiVo, On-Demand, DVR or even a VHS to record on. In the far distant past of the 1970's, we actually had to schedule television times or just miss out. No dear, we didn't care about "Spoilers" back then, because if we missed it, we needed to hear what happened!

Well my productivity for today is shot. I loved this game http://www.letsplaysnes.com/play-demons-crest-online/?play=true#content

My dad finally broke down and bought a VCR thanks to Battlestar Galactica.  No not the 2004-2009 series, the one that ran in 1978.  Unfortunately it aired right around dinner time and we kept jumping up to see what was going on.  Except this particular night was my Mom's birthday and well, she got pretty upset that we'd abandon her for some television show.  Normally my Dad would just smack us for this but he too was sucked in...
 
Yep, it was a different age.  Heck these days I rarely watch TV at all, I just play Wildstar.

Hey folks just a reminder that in order for this thread to remain in the general discussion it does have to be centered around WildStar (ie: general discussion about WildStar), otherwise I'll have to move it to off topic. 
 
Thank you

Did you watch Firefly?
 
Edit: which seems to have had a lot of influence on Wildstar (for Chillia)

I built a thing! It's a....
 
here have a picture...
 
Of the Cutts Co OmniFabricator CC-9017! 
 
 
 
 
Anyway, I was thinking about how factories might work in wildstar, and I came up with something like a cross between nanoskin and industrial replicators from Star Trek.
 
I figure, since Nanoskin, or more accurately, nanites, are capable of producing objects at will for a stalker, there might be an industrial version of them somewhere that could produce large scale parts. Essentially, a giant, nanite-fueled 3D printer that is capable of creating nearly anything. The idea here is that the entire ship (when landed) supports this machine, which houses a large pool of nanites used for construction of whatever Cutts Co needs to produce. Down below the machine, there's an area where the parts come out, and a loading dock for transports.

No, I'm trying to figure out what pieces to cull to fit in the account wide cap.  On one character I have 130 unique pieces only counting those she carries or has in her bank and not excluding the ones sent to a bank alt.  That's curated.  I've had to trim the collection in the past due to bank space issues.
 
Chalking this one up to "be careful what you wish for"

Renown requires being in a group ... and uh ... yeah. The first thing I asked was "Where do I get me one of those snazzy hats" and when the reply was "Renown Vendor" my heart sank. :(

I figured Tex would be all over that Roan-Wrangler's outfit on the Renown Vendor  :lol:

			I'm sure if you asked for a run of the dungeons you would have enough renown for a hat.

No it doesn't, you can run vet shiphands solo and get renown.   :lol:
