Happy Friday Everyone!!
 
Already thinking about Friday after work and this place is right down the street from my house!
 
So drop on by today and say hi! I would love to hear what everyone has been doing on Nexus!
 
 
So grab some coffee and head down to the beach and let's talk about what you are doing in Wildstar!
 
 
Besides waiting patiently for Thaydfest, I have been working hard on my plot and finally came to the conclusion that it won't be ready to enter the housing contest but there is always next year  :)
 
Other than that, it's been dailies and Vet shiphands!
 
Man! I just LOVE the vet shiphands!!
 
I hope everyone has a great Friday!  :wub:

... THAT is down your street? The view posted above?! How lucky are you!!! 
 
I am looking forward to some gaming, gaming, more gaming, and more gaming. The recent posts in the housing section of the forums means I'm wishing I had a EU account so I could visit all the houses. I'm thinking of nosing around the NA homes looking for the same amount of creativity :)

Woo!  Friday!  I get to work tonight!
 
Actually, that's kind of true.  I get off real work here a few hours early in order to make it to a show tonight in Lancaster.  If you're in the Columbus, OH area, come check us out at Fat Cats Pizza West on Ety Pointer Dr in Lancaster, OH at 7pm!  I have to get there early to set up and we might not be back until very late.  I'm on call until all the equipment is tucked away.
 
Hopefully I get home, because I might have some tweaking still to do in the bilge area.  I say tweaking because.... I'M PRETTY MUCH DONE!  Yes, everything is all set up for the most part.  I'm going over some ideas like putting chairs at the stations in the back of tactical, putting some kind of centerpiece on the small tables in the lounge, swapping the cushioned chairs at the private seating for something else, and maybe adding more riffraff around the place.  However, the place is done!  We can open for business right now!
 
Joyous day!  I'll include more pictures and maybe a video after taking it.  Things done yesterday:
 
-The conference office was populated heavily with "trophies".  Saddles, feel free to use this space to appear intimidating.
 
-Got Kitty's nod on the science lab
 
-Finished the kitchen area
 
-Finished the private seating bar
 
-Finished the home-made, hard-light mainframe Donne upkeeps and finished the EWAR lab
 
-Hid the scanner frame on the flydeck as best I could
 
-Finished tactical in principle, and I'm not sure what more I'll be doing with it.
 
-Finished the brig in principle, see above.
 
-Finished the security checkpoint in the lobby in principle.
 
Seriously, all I may do is add more touches to the lobby, brig, and tactical.  I may also tone down the conference office a bit... there's a lot we've apparently stolen over the years.  That may be the point, though.  I may also look at doing a BIT more with the lounge's TV area, but I'm not sure.  Literally, though, I think the Shadowcaster is ready for Thaydfest and, on a more important note, is ready for general use by the guild at all levels and all places.
 
So bring your friends on by!  Everyone come see the Shadowcaster, public on the plot of Nightengale Donne!  I'll be kicking off RP events there next week if I can get around to it!
 
And I'm looking forward to running more content....  So see you all on Nexus!

Feel free to stop by SpousalUnit Fitch anytime. I have done a lot to make it a true 'Sanctuary' on Nexus :)
 
Good Morning Everyone!
 
I have been working on my house to get it as close to 100% done (well until I change something else LOL) in time for judging to start on Sunday for the Lifestyles of Nexus housing contest.
 
Other than that, I have been doing dailies and vet shiphands with an awesome group from Blazing Saddles. :wub:
 
All of this while waiting for ThaydFest on March 15th. I am so excited for this event!
 
Have a good day all. Back to work I go. 5pm EST can not get here fast enough!!

Hi!
 
I honestly wanted to draw dropping in and saying hi but time is short. Again. Again. I'm starting to get tired of morning shifts, although as it is now I may get my best time with them.
 
Anyhow! Good morning everyone! Yesterday has been kinda eventful, and I have more snapshots than usual to work with so I'm gonna spoiler them up instead of post them straight up. First off, I got to experience the TAXI BLOOM in Illium. Man, that was a sight. A very lag-inducing sight.
 
Lag induction extracted and removed from this image
 
 
 
Secondly, my monetary efforts have hit a new high.
 
...Soon after I dropped a good 20 on an archivos schematic.
 
 
 
Finally, while this was a few days ago, I hit 1000 exterior decor on my plot! Unfortunately I couldn't do too much with the finer details, but there's always next time. With less hexagon tunnels. Those things ate up a good chunk of the limit. If you want to check it out, just look for Kolba Toh dominion-side, I keep my housing plot public. Still need to work on the interior though.
 
Come on down!

@ Kolba Toh-
 
What is Taxi Bloom??  :huh:

@ Kolba Toh-
 
What is Taxi Bloom??  :huh:

It's kinda like an onion bloom/blossom or flower (Same thing, really) with taxis. As seen in image 1, I got the name from the arrangement. There's been other names for it like taxi mountain or whatever else I can't remember but I like the name taxi bloom.
 
Okay, time for work!

Oohh, makes sense.
 
I never saw that in closed betas. I was a dommie then  :ph34r:

			Well, I'm new here, but I like the general feeling of camaraderie I'm getting from this place. So I shall do what this topic says and "drop in and say hi"As for Wildstar, well... the last time I did anything in it was maybe a month after release, but that's going to change as I'm currently patching it up and will play tomorrow sometime.I'll tune back in and contribute more constructively to Monday's Morning Coffee  (or Saturday's/Sunday's if one happens to pop up)  ^_^ -shakes off the "awkward first post jitters"-

Hey, welcome back!  What faction and server will you be on?  If you're an Exile on Entity, you've got a friend in me!  Add me as Houngan Seeger!

Hmmm,
 
Today is a sad day as a legend leaves us.
Just read the Leonard Nimoy, the person who played Mr Spock has passed away.
He was one of the greatest icons in Star Trek :/
 
On another note, I'm currently running a research project in the gaming industry in regards to toxic behaviour.
Before you ask, no; I'm not going to ask for input here and take your opinion ;)
But there is one feedback post I'd like to share with the community:
 
{| class="blockquote"
 
Years ago, I was staff (and briefly co-Implementer) on a MUD. Since I wasn't a programmer, my job was mostly writing zones... and player/staff liaison. The MUD in question was RP focused, and had very little stock content, whether that meant stock areas, or stock abilities and systems. We didn't really have forums, but we did have in-game messaging and the ability to submit suggestions and bug reports.The reason I'm mentioning this is background for an observation we made in the late 1990s that has only been getting more true: toxic players don't actually want to contribute. The point of their ranting and abuse isn't to suggest improvements, or to call attention to problems like bugs and similar. The point is for them to vent their spleen, and whatever the alleged issue might be is simply an excuse.We made this observation as a result of being directly engaged with our players; there wasn't a community manager or any layers of filtering between us and them, It was just us responding directly, in many cases in real time within the game. We did our best to be fair, to listen to concerns, and to engage in dialog with everyone. Some players, however, those who would now be described as toxic, weren't interested in discussion. They weren't interested in a compromise, or in why a choice was made by staff... the only thing that would placate them would be to immediately change some element of the game to suit whatever their personal preference was, regardless of the impact it would have on the rest of the player base. Doing anything else simply made the bile worse.I see the same thing happening in the game forums I participate in now. Posters who may or may not have an actual issue somewhere in all the venom, and who aren't satisfied by anything less than changing the game to suit their desires. I don't see an awful lot of attempts by developers to engage those players... and I can't say I blame the developers, either. I don't see a lot of positive results coming from trying to placate toxic players, not when CM and developer time could be used to address constructive critique instead.In other words... you can make all the people happy some of the time, or some of the people happy all the time, but dealing with people who refuse to be happy is a waste of your time. ;)

Never saw that either...but i didnt send much time in town or maybe it was just before my time? I started CBs during winter betas 2013.

I'm sure you were around. As you will notice the id watermarks are not all over the screen, so this was spring of 14 after the nda had been lifted.

Well, I'm failing at Internet today!  I was going to post a screenshot of Koob's Butt!  Being literal about your "get my butt to the forums," but for some reason, nothing will go through!  Oh well, I tried!
 
Woot it's Friday!!!  I'm ready for a weekend of Wildstar!  Are we going to do some Veteran Dungeons???? :D  We should!!!

Hey Hey! 
 
After a very nice 10 days freebie, it certainly re-kindled my love for this game. (knowing that the Bots have been eradicated) 
 
I decided to Re-Sub and also buy some CREDD, not that I needed the Plat, which I don't. Just to show my support for an awesome game! :P A really big regain for Carbine I think and a well done, pat on the back. (NOW GEIF PETZ PLX!)
 
The community is booming, people are returning, life in Nexus feels good! But I can't seem to figure out which character I like to play the most!! They are all brilliant in there own way! I still haven't reached 50 with any of them yet Ha! But who cares!? I'm loving the game, even just zooming around zones farming tree's on my Rent-a-mount! 
 
Well I thought I'd drop in say HI and give a little update, It's good to be back. Spreading the word through social media as much as I can and hope I can entice others into giving it a go and joining in an awesome online community. 
 
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE - HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND!!

Khandi, I want you to know that your picture at the start of the thread ruined my day.  I was perfectly content this morning with the rain hitting the roof outside and the dreary gray skies and my cup of coffee.... and then I saw your picture and my brain said:  WANT!!!!!
 
Sigh, all I've been able to think about since then is how I need a vacation.  Your fault!!! :)
 
Anyway, just stopping by to wave at everyone before I go finish the workday.  Oh, and I posted some things that you all may be interested in.

Eh... I'm late.  No coffee now, now I have beer.
 
Ground up Architect to Artisan level (the masochism calls me) just so I could crank out Magnetized Storage Containers.  Stir in a couple Shiphand Lockers, two Corrugated Steel Containers, a pane of glass and a handful of Wooden 2x4's and behold, one mainframe:
