BABJI SAYS DRINK THE COFFEE! BABJI SELL BEST COFFEE!! $5 FOR 100 POUNDS!! NO CC, CHECK. PAYPAL!
 
 :lol:  :lol:
 
Okay, sorry. I was dedicating this thread to the Gold Spammers of the Forum, but really, I just wish they'd all drink poison.
 
Not a lot to report, last night was quiet for me. The guild continues to grow and the leveling is progressing. Picked up some knowledgeable vets who are anxious and ready to start doing group content. No getting out of it this time, Tex. (You sure, Other Tex? I'm pretty sneaky.) Yes Tex, I'm sure.
 
Been doing dailies and sticking to the dye prizes. That's the thing I miss the most about my Exiles, they have a crapload of dyes that I don't have anymore - and it makes me want Account Unlocked Dyes and Collectibles even more. 
 
So, talk to me, Nexus! 
 
and ... uh ... you might want to bring your own coffee this morning. That one up yonder looks a little hinky, if you know what I mean.	
----
			
I'm drinking whiskey, coke... and IDk wtf else. I can still...
...
 
...
 
yeah wtf I'm not even kidding.. I feel like melting that spoon and doing some shards. Shit.	
----
			
It's 4 am and I'm drinking coca cola and wondering why I'm awake?
 
nap time Zzzz	
----
			Oh also F those spammers. Everytime I see the weird forum spam I get so instantly ragey.	
----
			
*quietly cleans the snipers rifle and wishes that Baba was within range*
 
Think iced tea here at the moment as way to darn hot down here at the moment for anything hot.
At least looks like things are going in the right direction for people and hope they keep doing so. At moment just log into my housing slot and peer over the edge as all the running around far below. Luckily have my Pumera to keep me company.	
----
			Looks like its going to be really cool Niliana!

Good morning!
I wanna go ingame now and finish this new restaurant design. I've been streaming it and had quite a few people sit and watch and chat with me. :)
It was a lot of fun! Maybe I'll do more after my lunch.
http://www.twitch.tv/NilianavenusRisingI'll be streamin there later. 
 
Also yea I'm annoyed by all the spammers. :/	
----
			@Kezra I feel ya.  Less than a week as a Wildstar fan and I've already seen all those spammers I wanna see :P  Drinking frozen caramel coffee this morning.  That still count? :D

			Got my pet for 10 daily logins. I like it. It is a space dog. Am temptated to call him Lajka.

Morning! *grabs a hot cup of coffee and slams it with frustration on the table* The shame/rage you feel, when coding, for not noticing a file was named something.txt.txt and you wonder for 1 hour why it won't open in the program...UGH!
 
 
-sips coffee-  Anyway, at least maintenance wasn't wasted ^_^. We should make a babaji minigame fabkit, speaking of fabkits, anyone working on their halloween houses ?

Good morning everyone! I finally managed to figure out what im doing. Im gonna stay with my Exiles for now on entity. Im trying to convince the wife to play and figured a pvp server probably not good for her first mmo. Im still gonna work on my Dommie medic when time permits on entity but most my focua will be on my slinger.
 
Hoping I might be able to start dabbling in raiding again. Been so long since ive done anything raiding wise. Trying to decide if I want to heal or tank but that will come pretty easily. 
 
The forum spammers dont really bother me because it will always happen. Even on the biggest forums it happens. I jist shrugnit off and go to page 2 :)
 
If I ever get 50 on my medic tex, ill heal for yas if ya need it.
 
Ooo...and I came up with an idea for my housing plot. I want to make a Lazer tag arena. The grounds work is being done on paper so hopefully I can make something of this. :) if anyone has any ideas let me know, since im a complete newbie at housing	
----
			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Quick breakfast this morning: berries and crackers with apple juice. Fruity. I am teaching in the afternoon so my morning is free and I got all the correcting done yesterday (even though I had three weeks to do it) so I am free to do whatever.In WildStar, I am still asked to reroll on Warhound but I like living. Entity-2 is getting more people everyday which leaves me wondering how things are on Entity-1. Got a few more deals on dyes and on some ability tier unlock tokens. Other than that, I am hoping to reach Beloved with the Guardian of the Groves soon and eventually start grinding the reputation in The Defile. I have also found out that the devs added Exotic Executioner achievements where you have to hunt some really rare and, I assume, exotic creature. Yay for more rare hunting!More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!

Hello and good morning all.
 
Finally got my own little house in the sky... And promptly spent about an hour messing around with it. Heheh.  ^_^
 
*Sits down and drinks some french vanilla flavored coffee*	
----
			
Today, thus far:
 
Meeting that no one else turned up to. - Meh
 
Being at work, I only have instant coffee. - Meh^2 
 
I also dropped a carton of milk and it splashed up my leg and all over the bloody place! - Meh^3
 
My sock is soggy :( - Meh^4 (Hyper-meh)
 
I'm still at work and have yet another conference call soon... Meh-ception!
 
Urm... Wildstar talk... I finally have a plan for what to do with my plot. But I haven't started yet :)
(Nili: Your building prowess makes me scared to even start :) the new restaurant looks amazing!)
 
On the second toon, I have started to get ready for new-era PvP.
 
... I didn't do a lot else last night!	
----
			
Why does the coffee thread start so early? I'm barely awake and need food and coffee. 
 
I spent most of my time leveling my new warrior. Its nice having leveling through PvP again. But even with all these new players no one is queueing for Daggerstone Pass	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I was up earlier than usual. The wife is not feeling well, so I carpooled in with her.
 
That meant I had 45 minutes or so to kill - but the servers were down (GG CRABINE Y U NO WERK?!?!) so I made coffee instead.

Morning folks!
 
Work is slow and I need to burn 14 vacation days before the end of the year.  About half of those are already planned so I need to figure out what to do with the other 7.  The servers are getting pretty stable so a staycation on Nexus might be in the cards  :D
 
Was looking at my tank set last night.  It's mostly GA drops, one GA token and a couple DS drops.  The pants are 78 and the implant was 68 <_< until my brain said "Psst! Hey dork go look at the GA glory vendor".  Ayup, I now have a shiny new implant. :lol:  Starting to look at what it's going to take to rune it out.  Unfortunately it'll have to be the non-exceptionals.  That should be good-enough for dungeons and maybe GA if we have tank issues again.  Gonna need to grind some plat to afford the re-rolls.   :rolleyes:
 
Follow up to a discussion with Ara yesterday:  Took my Dom Stalker to check out the Season2 PvP gear... She happens to be a Draken... For some reason Draken don't get butt flaps, at least not on those pieces :ph34r:.  Maybe I'll roll up a non-Draken stalker on Warhound or Entity-2.

Mornin,
 
Had a phenomenal time on Nexus last night.  First night of raid, so I took a little nap first after work, and then made myself a sandwich and settled in.  We killed so much trash and cut through the place like a hot knife.  Only hiccups were a few deaths on Kuralak and then Convergence took a little rearranging due to squishy stalker (FIX STALKER TANKS PLEASE) and our regular warrior tank was out for the night.  So had an engineer tank carefully tanking frog and it went pretty well.  Capped the raid night with simultaneous kills of Battery and Piston.  Split the raid in two and did them both at the same time.  And it took longer, but we killed them both, so I think honestly it probably took about the same time for both.  We were running out of time, made a stab at Ohmna but it didn't take and we called it there.
 
And then just for giggles, ran a Stormtalon to help attune someone's alt and we cut through THAT so fast that we got Gold, which is my first gold.  Someone got nicked by a tornado and we still cleared it fast enough for gold.  So, guildie got his attunement AND the amp point, and another party member got her final dungeon she needed for gold, so got the Solid Gold title.
 
All in all a phenomenal night.
 
Oh and I got a DPS support system off of some trash we killed at the start of GA, so I got to replace my seriously old Tab Blaster for my off-spec set.
 
So much chain pulling, and everyone just trucked right along.
 
AND my favoritest healer finally admitted this morning that maybe, just maybe, she does a good job at healing.  (She does a great job at healing, just very hard on herself.)
 
So... everything is awesome (cue song).
 
Hope everyone else is enjoying their Thursday.

Let's see... did Deep Space shiphand with husband and our friend yesterday. It was kind of hilarious how long it took for the mobs to die, but at least we still got gold. Then husband and I spent some time leveling our stalker and esper alts - finished Galeras and did Protogames! Stalker tank is a bit confusing to me. Using Frenzy, Nano Virus (t4), Razor-whatsit, Decimate (t4), Punish, and Steadfast, but I'm not sure how one is supposed to maintain suit power. Half the time I was just sitting there waiting for suit power to regen. It probably didn't help that the bosses didn't really hit me all that much, so I couldn't get in many Decimates, but still... Not having a "spam" ability to use when resource is low confuses me? xD
 
Oh, and I did some more work on Antimony's house! Pushed a little further down the canyon in decorating...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I love building natural landscapes in housing. :3 This is supposed to be in some winding canyons between Wilderrun and Auroria. I'm using the new extra space on our plot to actually construct some canyon maze, keeping the old interior with my character's crashed spaceship mostly the same.

{| class="blockquote"
How do you get rune slots on your implants? Or are we talking about a different kinds of implants.... :ph34r:

While we're on the subject of housing, here's a little preview... ;)

			That is quite a large ship, unless you have found a way to make mechari of a small size?

Good morning!
 
Standard day on Nexus yesterday, very fun- much profit.
 
I've been finding that purple drops seem to happen a lot more now- I snagged up three last night in less than an hour. It might just be RNGesus, but darn that was nice!
 
However... all things pale in comparison to my new bestie, the vanity Chompacabra. I didn't even know it had dropped until I went to sell and was like "why is there a Chompacabra in my inventor- OH HOLY YES".
 
So, yay to new friends~ <3

Today is dragging it's feet. Ready to get out of here and get a couple hours in-game. Stupid new 50 and so many dumb things to do ...

			I had to cancel today's lecture because some moron thought it would be funny to call a bomb threat and have the whole pavilion evacuated. I am royally pissed ; I am stuck having to put my lecture notes online with little explanation or discussion with my students.I guess bright side is that I get to play WildStar? "Play" WildStar because I have reached a point where I do not have much left to do but challenges and acquire collectibles. I do not want to pug veteran dungeons and Entity-2 is mostly lowbies. I am hoping to go back to Entity-1 soon but I am still on the 7-days cooldown for transfer.

Good afternoon all! Been a super slow day/week at work, so I've been following my usual routine of facebook > salon > huffpo > cnn > think progress > dailykos > wildstar forums.

Good afternoon all! Been a super slow day/week at work, so I've been following my usual routine of facebook > salon > huffpo > cnn > think progress > dailykos > wildstar forums. I do need to write an RFP at some point, but I can do that in my sleep so. 
 
We went into GA last night and cleared all the way through covergence fairly handily. We probably could have gotten further, but for whatever reason, I can never seem to get enough people on at raid time and we usually end up starting at 8:30 instead. That and we were for whatever reason just moving at a real slow pace. The summon changes aren't much fun either. I got my dps set runed out (its very shit) and it only cost me about 7.50 worth of *cupcake*ing service tokens since I have no plat to my name (having spent it all on my healing set). The post-f2p runing system is still my biggest gripe and the most unfunnest part of the game. 
I think one of the biggest unfortunate's about living in a group house in that I don't have as much time to myself as I'd like sometimes. My roommates are always wanting to chill. When I was living alone, I would hop on W* after work and play from 5 til 11 or 12, a good 6 or 7 hour chunk. That gave me time to do all the content I like in the game housing, dungeons, RP, raids, pvp, and dailies if I needed some cash flow. (Plat rules everything around me). Now, I'm lucky to get 1 or 2 hours on a non-raid night, so its usually either dungeons or raids when I'm in game. 
 
I'm currently trying to level up a new healer for our raid group too. Having to pick between slinger and esper is its own suckiness, since I'm not a huge fan of either play-style (both have tab target elements that don't work with my mouse look very well), but the raid needs what it needs and VP and Pyrokinetic flame are both on that list.  I decided to run a Tempest Keep and got a whole mouthful of remembering how hard this game can be. Mind you, I didn't realize til after I qued that the game *cupcake*ed me and didn't give me my support pistols back, but even then, keeping a squishy tank up with low dps when focus management is more important than ever is its own level of *cupcake*ery.

I was wondering where this thread went to, and I'm glad I found it.
 
I saw people necro threading old launch day QQs, so that's fun. 
 
The plot ideas you guys post are amazing. Rift had a similar housing system and just like in Rift I don't have the time to fiddle with all of the bells and whistles. 
 
In Everquest 2 I did crazy stuff inside my magical manor, but my time is so limited nowadays that I either have to choose to play my toon for an hour or fiddle with housing.
 
Keep posting those awesome screens of housing plots though, so I can live vicariously through your ideas.  
 
That's an order:

Afternoon everyone.
 
Spent part of last night and the wee hours this morning cutting 11 pages worth of paper bits for a helmet I'm working on. I can't feel the tip of my index finger anymore, so I'm assuming nerve damage.  :P
 
A combination of having a ton of stuff to do and playing Murdered: Soul Suspect (Crime drama with heavy supernatural influence? Yes, please! :lol:) has really kept me from WildStar. I'll have to jump back in at some point, even if it's just to keep an eye out for gankers greifing the new people still in the leveling process.

Bit the bullet and crated the entire magnum opus on one of my alts' plots-- it just did not work with the new size.  Reworking a second one so that I may be able to preserve it.  My main's Old School Exile battleship still works so I'll keep it.  I'll try to post a few pics of it sometime.  I built it before all the new sexy starship stuff got put in the game, so it looks like its made out of beer cans and guns, for the most part.  ;)  I could replace most of it with the new shiny, but I like my old junk heap ship-- it is an Exile vessel after all.  I'll get shiny with my Dommies.
 
Originally my Chua's plot had the largest house possible in game (of course, since they are the smallest species), stretching right up to the sky-- made of Granok Beds maxxed size and stacked, then covered with armour plating.  Huge fluffy interior of many, many levels.  Scrapped it too and I'll work on something more fiendish and less Space hamster.
 
So: nostalgia coupled with new stuff to plan and do, here.

Sly, do you know approximate what the requirements or guideline for healers going into dungeons? First I was told 1.5% focus recovery, then I was told that is for raiding... and then someone else said I should be focusing (lol pun) on focus pool instead of recovery.
 
Just want this whole runing business to be less migrane inducing lol.

Mechari don't have facebook, but we do have the axis hub in the middle of town. On cold days we dare organics to lick it. 
 
Putting padlocks on the hub to show your love is discouraged. Usually because padlocks are fairly temporary vs the natural lifespan of a mechari. 
Best to add it to the list of "facts" so that it is written in the knowledge base of all mechari new or old.
 
I sure do seem to play the super long term commitment races.

Just so you are aware, I don't have a single exceptional in Rythar's tanking set, and he's very, very tough in Dungeons. And he was more than sufficient in GA- so you'll probably be fine. Also, I believe there is a whole exceptional rune set for one piece in the guild bank that Fyre put there when he got his class set.
 
I think non-exceptionals are going to be fine for off sets, and we can work them up as the dust settles. My guess is your gear is probably better than Rythar's.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
But this is just general advice. I wouldn't let it induce a migraine. Dungeons are MORE about skill than gear, and actually more about perseverance than skill. Yeah, you want to rune and have some decent gear, but just enough to get you in the door.

Probably an ultra noob question, but for your canyon plot, how did you make it rain? It's my favorite type of weather and I love seeing it replicated in game.

Yeah - the Primal one does look the best.Looking forwards to the Shade's Eve one though. Hopefully that satisfies my need for Halloween outfits year round.Fireball might hold me over until I get something nicer though  and it seems easier to get. I'll look into it when I get home.
 
Thank you so much!

It's a Sky you can purchase on your plot.

Not a noob question! It's the "Stormy" sky remodel option. :) I love it. I pair it with the "A Little Rain Must Fall (Ambient)" sound and the effect is awesome - the splattering sound of rain, insects and birds, rolling thunder... love it. :D

Try to find Ichoris Orange or whatever it's called. :) It's the most orange orangey dye out there ^^
 
Going to bed, it's 11 pm here. I'm exhausted, been housing all day.

This may be true to an extent, but healers - especially esper healers - got hit with a HARD bat in drop 6. Our spell focus costs are astronomical, and no amount of skill with get us over that.
 
@Reconditioned: You'll want to do a kind of 1:1 balance of focus pool and focus recovery. 1.5% is the recommended recovery % for raids, yeah, as DR hits after that. Dungeons maybe... 1%? But really, get it as close to 1.5% as you can, because ugh those focus costs hurt.

It is my specialty. :)

Today I found myself with nowhere to go and nothing to do. I had one cup of coffee, my laptop and a passable WiFi connection. So I got more W* in today than all the time since f2p.
 
I did CB, NW and the new zone (forget the name) on my Esper. I was a little disgusted to see vendors selling gear better than vet gear I farmed before. 
 
I saw they increased the focus cost of Esper healers (x3 in some cases). My intention before was mêlée DPS, but I learned someone willing and able to heal will find themselves healing.	
----
			
So I think I just got a hefty dose of noob luck.I was told to go do my first adventure to start gearing for PvE - so I hopped in and just went at it in a pug. Absolutely nothing dropped for DPS but we finished up and I had some key for a chest.Not really knowing what was going on I opened it up and it didn't say I got any loot. Whatever. Hopped out of the instance.I go to check my bags and there's an orange texted mount in there.Really confused and wondering where the heck it came from I went to go and try and link it to guild chat...and learned it.Needless I say I got something in guild chat and I go back to Thayd to show a guild mate and well - Lifty decided to gank me while I was taking a screenshot to show a friend who can't get online.(I ain't salty I learned it by accident either. It matches my joke leveling outfit perfectly.) 
I still don't know what to think of this.	
----
			
How are you THAT far sideways? Shouldn't you wash out if you went 90-degrees full tilt? :P
 
And thanks for the info, Naunet. I haven't added any focus pool runes, and only with three 2/6 Cynosure (my blue gear only have 2 slots, and I'm not sure if I want to spend even more money trying to unlock more), but I think I'm sitting pretty close to 1:1 ratio, although only at just under 1.2% FR. But someone told me my focus pool of 1150 is too low for vet dungeon. /groan
 
Why is it that DPS can get away with lower average ilevel, lower tier runes.... etc, and tank/healer needs to be at near-raid-level-stats to function in dungeons? Wonder where the bias came from.
