Sorry, I'd noticed that there wasn't a Morning Coffee thread yet and decided to take the initiative!  This morning's coffee come via my Keurig machine and is a Cinnamon Hazelnut blend from New England Coffee.
 
In Wildstar news I just went live with Too Damn Early and having a fun time so far.  Got Malak to 31 last night.  He'd been stranded at 30 for weeks.

Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?I worked from 10am to 10pm yesterday but got home at 11pm so no WildStar outside of doing dailies early in the morning. Today's breakfast was a fruit salad with vanilla-flavoured yogurt. Simple and delicious.
 
Today's picture is WildStar's superstar ghost lady that has the citizens of Thayd talking.
 
In WildStar news, absolutely nothing! I barely played yesterday and outside of dailies and I probably will not be doing much today either. I am just SO sick of the Crimson Badlands and Northern Wastes. I am still hunting for exile generators (housing challenges seem to favour Renown over any other rewards way too much) and a Decorated Titanium Helmet. The latter drops in Whitevale but apparently, very few people go through that zone so there are none of the AH. That's about it.
 
Danger ahead! Danger behind! Maybe danger sideways...

			dat entity!  ;)  I know the feeling a bit.  I've let my 50 warrior kinda wither on the vine because there was just nothing really to do after a while with her and I went more for the alts.  I'm a famous altoholic.  I do want to go through after the next drops hit and have had a few days to cook and see what new pops up at me for her.  That's also why I'm kinda pushing Malak slowly to 50 so he can be ready for the new stuff.  Having far too much fun with DPS Medic with him.

Morning guys!
 
6 days until ThaydFest!
 
Yesterday in Wildstar we took one of our new guildies through Stormtalon's Lair - was a lot of fun and the run went really smooth, too, even though I was on my at-level Esper for the trip and experimenting with different abilities :)
 
Today in Wildstar, we're doing Siege of Tempest Refuge, then we're going to go try a vet mode Stormtalon this afternoon and see if we can complete it this time - we have tried it twice so far.  The first time we bogged down on the Aethros fight and ended up calling it because of time.  The second attempt (which I wasn't there for) we made it to Stormtalon but weren't able to beat him.  It really is all about learning the fights though and locking in the muscle memory, so I'm confident we can win today :)  Then we'll just run it a bunch more in the coming weeks to get to the point where it feels easy.
 
As far as "dailies", to be honest I only go to those two places about once a week when I just feel like killing things with Nephele.  The rest of the time when I'm able to play, I'm either crafting (I craft a lot), running adventures or dungeons, or occasionally on one of my alts playing through content with them.  My spellslinger will be my next 50, and he just got to Wilderrun, but hasn't gone very far there yet.
 
That said though, here are my three wishes for Wildstar at the moment:
 
1) Merge servers this week.  Just get it done.  That way I can make ThaydFest happen for a lot more people.
2) Don't hold things back for a giant patch.  If a piece is ready, just push it live while you work on the other pieces.  People need to see some patches happening to help restore their faith.
3) Gimme a way to change my hairstyle and color from time to time.  Sometimes my lady characters just want new looks :)

Oh, yesterday was interesting...
 
I was going to log in and have a Wildstar day, but my wife ended up getting a call that her sister's abusive boyfriend was abusive.  That meant a lot of other crap we're having to go deal with.  That bled into us having to go to the store to get stuff for this "party", which is sort of a Mary Kay party for spices.  I helped all day with that, then had the party, then people hung around after the party.  Which was enjoyable enough, but I wanted to play.  I finally got to log in at just after midnight...
 
When I logged in, though, got to see Wulfe for the first time in forever.  It's good to see people being able to come back a bit!  I ran around on Donne, leveling up in Whitevale.  So that was a blast.  The reason I'm giving the short version of all this is because my wife wants to play so I have to log in.  See you on Nexus!

Rocio is getting tapped on the shoulder about his simmering plot but the real fun was on my other character.
 
Have you ever been in a situation where your ex shows up at your workplace? How many swears go through your head? The feeling of dread? Wanting to say something but not wanting to cause a scene nor give the the satisfaction if knowing how you feel?
 
 RPing that out on a character that is also quite restrained and polite was probably one of the most difficult scenes I've done. Letting people know how upset she is without taking away from the party, keeping up her work while letting her occasionally space out to show her distraction.
 
In the end she won. Victory! She made it through the night without losing it!
 
Something tells me that I enjoy lower key personal conflict as much as epic tales of derringdo.

Can't help but feel bit nervous about megaservers coming in few days. Behind cosmotronic exterior is shy awkward chua. But as all things, will get used to many peoples. Reinforcements can only be good thing for Nexus' struggle against strain thingies.

			If we get it done this week, that means ThaydFest just got way bigger :)  So I really hope it's this week!

Wait, has the date been announced?  Please say it's been announced and I just missed it.

I finally could convince one of my buddys to play wildstar, I started with another alt (chua again because SCIENCE!). And we played until lvl 20 in one Session.
It was awesome. We found so many quirky little NPC moments and conversations to laugh and watch. Playing with someone together is the best, we even read some
of the Questlogs and still discuss some of the Datacube Logs together.
 
I'm looking forward to the session next weekend :-D
 
I also finally got my main character to lvl 30.....It's been a long way for me but I did it...

What a wierd day it's been.
 
I did crafting dailies and got my next adventus schematic.  Then later I cancelled a run on Siege of Tempest Refuge because my entire guild had to deal with in-laws.  It was like attack of the in-laws today or something.  I responded to a few threads on the forums this afternoon, and got told that I'm a hardcore elitest because I disagree with someone about reducing the difficulty in dungeons.  In fact, someone was so mad over that response that they even came to my guild's website and posted a threat/flame in our applications section.  
 
While they were doing this I was in our guild's third ever vet mode stormtalon run, which we still haven't managed to beat yet.  But that's ok, we're getting better at it, and we get a little farther every time.  Stormtalon himself is way harder in vet mode than in normal mode, but we just have to learn how to manage his telegraphs, and then he's toast.
 
But yeah, apparently being willing to fail, and learn before you succeed makes you hardcore and an elitest.  Who knew?
 
Maybe I should change my forum signature.
