The first rule about PTR is... you do NOT TALK ABOUT PTR!  That said...
 
 
Drop 3 was one of those experiences where we got a lot, but not stuff that was really fun.  It was necessary, but bug fixes aren't fun to tell your friends about.  Drop 4 sounds like it's going to be.  Honestly, I figured this was going to be a PVE-centric patch, what with Protostar Games and the queue/gear fixes.  It sounds a LOT more extensive than that, and everything's already up in a rough build on the PTR (a note on behalf of the devs, no patch notes have been released, PTR elements may not necessarily make it into the upcoming drop, and all elements are subject to change).  I won't go into any real details there from what I've seen, obviously Carbine will probably do that once they've chiseled more into stone, but I spent most of last night chattering excitedly with the roleplayers on my rolodex about drop 4.  A lot of big changes are coming to make us even happier!  I can't wait.
 
Outside of that, I logged in to do some crafting quests (I'm still working on Epochos weapons) and found out Carshe didn't have an Epochos Psyblade.  Blasphemy!  So I made her one.  I asked where to deliver it, and she said Lightspire.  So I got to run Lightspire with her, which is always a blast when you've got a mixed Dommy/Exile raid set running the same event.  I handed that off, then ran around doing dailies in the Defile.  It's a blast; I really need to set a night for us to run quests like this as a guild every week so we can raise our rep.  Then I hopped onto Vincent Hawthorne, my engineer, for some old-fashioned shotgun-toting action.  Engineer keeps me entertained.  Quick question, was pet AI or aggro changed along the line somewhere?  My artillery bot was distinctly less annoying last night than it was the last time I had a chance to play him.
 
Today's play depends on what's going on and when I can log on.  I may need to help my friend move a drum kit and my wife may not be home tonight.  Her mother had some kind of panic attack and went to the ER, and so she called my wife to run over to her house to watch her dogs at about midnight last night.  That was quite the shock, but it seems like she's fine.  So we'll see what happens, but I definitely would like to get both some PVE and RP in on the weekend.  Also, I'd like to get those group quests in Blighthaven done on my Dominion Spellslinger.  Unfortunately, since I never get to play there, I don't have a guild there or any means of contacting help besides spamming zone chat.
 
Off to work now.  I'm just so excited about the possibilities of this game.  If this is what full-content drops are going to look like, just the glimpses of Drop 4 look fabulous!  I have to start getting ready.  Everybody needs to make sure this game is well known to everyone.  Take screenshots and post them to Facebook.  Take videos or stream it on Twitch (if you're younger than I am, apparently).  Not a lot of people know about this game comparatively speaking, and even fewer know what it's actually like.  Drop 4 is going to be that time to get people in, so hopefully we can get another boost in on the back of the upcoming release.

Nnnnghph... don't think coffee's gonna do it for me this morning. *rummages around for a set of jumper cables*
 
Been really dragging lately.  I think that's due more to some late nights than actually getting sick, so here's hoping.  Had to do some off-cycle shopping because we were out of milk so I got home a little later than normal.  Tried to convince myself to go run NW at least but wound up dithering a bit then hung out and RP'd with a few people.  (Why you all have to be so interesting after my bed time?)
 
I think my plan for tonight is to run dailies and then go crawl into bed.  (Best laid plans of mice and men...)

I've got a 50 Stalker DPS over there that I can blow the dust off. Her gear isn't all that great but should be good enough for zone group missions.

IKR, why does so much cool stuff have to happen PST?

That sale really shows what an obstacle the box price is to new accounts and why they need to get a Free Trahl Lahk Raht Naow."
 
Anyway, my RP story is leaping forward today with the introduction of the Aurin Risen on Rocio
 
My other character is going to be participating in the Exile Virus Story line that's going to last for about 10 days. Feel free to let this be your step in to RP!

That's because Mordesh have no sense of taste.
 
I'm afraid...  I have to side with the Chua on this one.

			Awwwwah Those pics are so cute!

Does that require a prescription?   :D

Good for us.  It's cheaper than what you're eating.
 
This is actually probably the Chua breakfast...

Sure, my Dommy there is Trajan Spenser. His gear is nothing to write home about... because I spent nearly a plat setting up some costumes and some rarer dyes.
 
PRIORITIES! :D

I did a few veteran shiphands on the PTR earlier! I wanted to stream but it was getting a bit too late on my end (11pm) so it'll have to wait until tomorrow. 
 
After completing one, you get a bag of rewards (with extra XP and gold I think if you run a random shiphand):
 
I got an epic decor, about 300 renown (I was surpised because I ran it solo, but ecstatic at the same time because there is soooo much stuff to get with Renown... It's going to take a very long time to farm!
 
On live realms, we got Prototypes down to 4% (damn enrage timer!) but looking forward to next raid!
 
Apart from that.. I have a narration job on Tuesday.. and my throat is still very sore from being sick.. eek.. hope it goes away by then :/

			Random vet shiphands, huh?  Sounds interesting.  Any idea if you get the extra rewards if you group queue?  (In FF14, you only got the extra random queue rewards if you solo queue'd.)

Hi! Hearing news from peoples about PTR and next drop really cheered me up. Not going to play PTR myself though as not want to spoil all.
Still going through remnants of hangover after graduation and party yesterday, so not gonna be as active until tomorrow.

Morning! Hope you're all well and good today :)
 
If you want any help on your Dominion feel free to give me a poke on Artisan Typrop. Usually I can help if I'm available and bring a long some guildies who'd be more than happy to help too. I'll be a bit pre-occupied with freelance work this weekend and tonight, but if you poke me during my breaks in game or even on the forums I'd be more thn happy to help ya through blighthaven or the group quests in the defile. :)

 I/We might do that next time I can be Domside!
 
Unfortunately, that tends to be a bit late.  I don't log onto my Dominion unless there is literally no one on Exile side.  I want to be available to help my guild with anything they might need.

Played and streamed the PTR (omg Protogames.... so fun)!! Then, I headed out to the park, even though it was very cold.. Drew with chalk with my son. I couldn't help it: (I know it's baaad lol, had no reference images or anything on hand)
 
 
And.. Coffee. I love the refillable K-cup thing, so I can buy Starbucks beans for way cheaper than their actual k-cups. Win!
