Woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep.  Laid there as long as I could before giving up and getting out of bed.  Spent the time working on configuring AuraMastery.  OMG does that addon need a TM.  When the alarm went off, I figured it was time for breakfast.
 
Not much in W* yesterday.  Didn't get on till real late.  Made it to the new zone and picked up a lot of quests, but that was about it.

Doing another lowbie bracket weekend with support of the Warhound Events LEVELING crossfaction circle!Starting at 2:00pm PST!!  Read about this weekends event here! We're also doing other stuff!  :DIf you're on Warhound you GOTTA join! On Exile side PST Flo X, Miss Stabbie, Ron Paul or just ask in zone chat as a lot of folks are in there! Dominion side PST Kingpin sevRAWR, Bepulse Jenkins, Viewtiful Tom, or ask around as well! The past couple days it's grown RAPIDLY and it's SO AWESOME to see new players (many of which brand new to the game :D) cooperating and questing together through the circle.The circles are bursting at the seams, and I see us expanding to 2-3 circles per faction within the week! (good thing I have a lot of alts! :P) So we're boostin' queues for the huge surge of new players we've received!Remember queues are cross-server, so hop on your alts on Entity and join us!

Morning :)
 
I am headed out for coffee since I can't log on.
 
Wish Chillia could go poke the IT people with a stick to maybe restart entity :(

My mother picked the wrong week to come visit from Honduras... or maybe the right week.  Honduras rarely experiences any sort of cold. Maybe down to the 40s if you live up in the mountains. She talks about the cold but doesn't complain about it. She'll say it's cold in a way that makes me expect that the next word out of her mouth will be, "Awesome!"
 
I've been spending a lot of time with her so maybe that's a relief.  Words can't describe really how disappointed I am in Drop 3. I was actually able to get some folks to come and try Wildstar over the weekend only to run into the LAS bug before level 10.  The LAS bug won't update your LAS when you level and you can't add or subtract or move any skills. Some of my friends only had 2 skills to work with. While Wildstar devs figured out and fixed the problem, they logged out and went back to the other games they were playing.
 
This morning, I couldn't chat with my friends so I relogged and now I'm stuck at Retrieving characters screen.  Yes I've reported all these bugs.  But I thought we were getting past this.  I'm so bummed.  So tired of reporting bugs... *sigh* :(
 
On the RP side, it was really light since I had little time before bed to chitchat. Nothing on the Rocio side of things to report. My other character had a cute time with her BF and other friends. :)

Retrieving Characters
Just a moment...
----
			
That retrieving characters thing is really annoying, I hope Cougar and team are making progress on tracking down why it's happening.
 
Last night I went with a guildmate and we did the first few quests in the Defile together.  I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a complete zoo at 9 pm Pacific like I expected it to be.  Don't get me wrong, I love seeing people, but I don't like it when questing areas get completely overrun with people.  I like to feel like there's actually some danger.
 
We stopped after a bit because I was all yawns but the highlight of the night for me was finding a chain of path quests.  A chain!  Of path quests!  Two of them, in fact!  If this is the model for path quest design moving forward, yes, PLEASE!
 
Today I have no idea what I'm doing.  I *need* to spend time unpacking and doing house things.  I *want* to goof off completely and not do anything productive at all.  I will have to try to find a happy medium I guess.
 
Rocio, I hope your friends will give Wildstar another shot.  It always feels wierd to me how I can play games and almost never run into bugs like that, and then I hear about how lots of people DO hit those bugs, all the time.  Not that I want to encounter bugs, but it just feels wrong that a bunch of people hit them and I don't.

Sorry guys, just jumping in and out.  I have to bring lunch to my wife and run some errands, what might be band practice, and then I have date night with the wife later.
 
I just wanted to stop by to say I spent something like 8 hours last night and 6 hours today on the Shadowcaster.  I'd post screenshots, but I don't have time.
 
If you're interested in seeing how the project is going, Nightengale Donne's plot is public.  I'll hopefully finish the garden, training area, armory, loading bay, and wheelhouse this weekend.  Hopefully the whole thing will be done by next week!
 
Really excited and proud of the thing, I don't think I've ever had anything this awesome in any MMORPG I've ever played.

			There actually is a bagel under all that cream cheese.  Much more than I would use at home, but that's the "single serving" container at the coffee shop.
