I don't even want to look at coffee today.  My stomach's killing me.
 
 
Generally speaking, if you're married to a teacher, you know two things:  that your spouse will get sick in the bacterial/viral breeding ground that is a classroom and that your spouse will get you sick.  So I'm starting to show symptoms of what my wife had all weekend.  Joy.  I'm at work anyway and keeping clear of everyone.  I feel like a plague carrier, but this relocation project needs to be done this week.
 
Anyway, in Wildstar news, had some fun last night with Qae and *ERAYO out in Grimvault finishing up some group quests.  It was fun to get out there on Seeger and jump around a little.  Ran into someone that recognized me from here, but didn't recognize the character name, so if you're here, hello!  Otherwise, I spent the night pushing the new Donne up in levels a bit and engaging in some open world RP.  Donne's perfect in Eldan facilities for fun since he's a computer hacker and programmer.
 
Also, I bit the bullet and upgraded to the deluxe edition of the game.  Donne needed those Omni-Plasm visor glasses and I wanted to use the dyes.  Also thinking of using my next paycheck to sub forward a few months or a year so I can save some long term money.
 
Donne's 13, so next level he gets the skyfortress plot.  As it stands, I might do some work on it to make it all stand up, but I am really interested in the new housing terrain options and the "blank" plug, then building the bits and buildings out of blocks.  I can't wait for drop 3 so I can see what we get on the housing front.  I would like to get the aft- and fore-castle started, which means picking up the plugs I need as soon as I can to start setting them up.
 
For now, I'm at work, busy, and I need to be in-game.  A couple of you I keep little "side debates" going with to keep my brain fresh, but I might not be able to take the time to answer them for a while, so I apologize.  I just can't spend an hour or so on the forums jawing when I really need to (and do want to) move these characters along.
 
The Saddles are also looking for people to take up leadership positions, particularly after the purge and megaserver merge.  I want us to be broad in scope because, obviously, we started here on Coffee with people who had a lot of crossing interests.  I'm handling the RP end of things, but I wanted everyone to have a place, especially if those people wanted to take up a torch and run with it, whatever you'd want to do.  I don't step on my officer's toes.
 
Have fun out there!
 
EDIT:  I gave Erayo a level of seniority and education not typically found in a player character accidentally, and it has been corrected.

Aw you've got a tummy ache just when I started to cook again! D:
 
I brought home made chips and salsa for today's coffee thread!
Believe it or not those chips are fat free. They're actually lasagne pasta boiled, sliced, and baked.
Sorry for the blurriness, it's on my shitty phone :P 
I'm up and about and cooking and sitting at my desk again.
But I didn't really think about the consequences of bouncing back so quickly...! 
My feet swelled right up hahaha! I usually have slender, thin ankles and feet but now it looks like I put on a fat suit ...it's hilarious!
I'm sure they'll settle in the next few days or weeks..xD
 
I'm glad to hear the Saddles are going forward with plans for the merge. I've got a plan for Venus Rising's recruitment plans and PR imagery and the like. I'm handling my guild like a brand and so far it's worked ^_^
 
Speaking of my guild, we've progressed really well in GA so far! 
We even scored a lightspire dommie first. Which is great to boost our morale (not that it needed boosting)
X89 is crazy insane, but we love the fight. At first there was a lot of panicking going on..random island and lots of woooing in team speak when we jumped down with a big bomb. We've got him next time we try him though, our dps in through the roof and our tanks just need to stay close and he's ours.
 
Wildstar raiding is unlike anything I've ever done before and I'm in love with it. I wish I could raid heal all day! :D

Yesterday I went to the Osun event. Rocio had a lot of interesting questions to ask, but alas, Pappy is no longer asking questions.
 
After that I RPed with a few of my buds and got my event going. It wasn't as big this time, but it moved our story arc forward and then I RPed with Murdock and went to the beach party.
 
The Wildseeds have had a difficult time. One of their members has a bounty put on her head but Rocio managed to allow her to be captured by bounty hunters who happen to also be his friends. After speaking at their second public communion, Rocio allowed her to be arrested but then something interesting happened. After feeding the Godwood tree more primal life, the tree seemed to be at rest, not in pain or not in much pain.  He gave him in turn an immense sense of relief, that everything was going to be alright.  His fellow tribemembers joined him in the communion and after a tearful goodbye for now to their arrested friend, they departed.
 
But Rocio had some business to attend to with a certain Granok Scientist.  This scientist Murdock had made a very important step forward in the battle of the Strain, but each step was expensive and arduous. Rocio knew that if he were going to live on Nexus, the Strain would have to be dealt with.  Meeting the Granok in his lofty lab, Rocio supplied the man with something he needed: Pure Exanite. The sample was small but very high quality. "There's more where this came from. Don't tell anyone I gave this to you or I'll wake up dead."
 
After that Rocio went to the beach and met an old friend.  Unfortunately this old friend was a friend no longer, she confronted him about what he was doing with the Wildseeds. Rocio tried to make her see that they were harmless, even good. But the Aurin warned him that he was walking an unknown and dangerous path for no reason.
 
Rocio was hurt by the rejection and went home.

Vic, no hiring new non-guild officers until I get at least one! =P  I'm thrilled with our activity levels (especially for a straight up roleplaying guild) - but *REALLY* need someone to help with PvE content organization.  And I asked first, silly goose! ;)
 
Morning Tea:  English Breakfast
Breakfast:  Noosa Passion Fruit Yogurt and a biscuit with honey.  The yogurt makes the biscuit and honey healthy, it's science people!
 
In Game:  Ran the Osun history event last night.  Seemed to go really well, had 21 folks (roughly) in attendance from a wide variety of guilds, RP circles, unaffiliated, and all backgrounds - which is precisely what I like to see in an open world RP event.  So thank you!  Definite thank you to all the other guilds and guild leaders that came out to support the community.  I don't know that we had a dev drive by - if one of the unaffiliated folks was a dev, they didn't out themselves to me, but that's ok - I'm sure they also have many other things to do, and I know they supported the event by providing me content.  Got some great questions I knew how to answer, some great questions I didn't know how to answer, and had a lot of fun all around!
 
Next time, top votes so far for October's Walk-n-Talk is either the Torine Sisterhood or the Lopp.  
 
Out of game, exhausted.  Another busy day of helping my mother in law. Still more to do, but I also actually *do* have a full time job that isn't just helping family, so I really need to get back to doing that again. (Lately I've felt like a housewife/stay at home and I'm really not...it's not that I'd mind it per se, but it's kind of difficult to be shouldering what are technically *two* full time jobs.  Work has been very understanding, but at some point understanding - and leave - runs out.)  Think today I will work on things at home, try to get some admin and writing done, and then just take it easy. Depends on how much I get done.
 
Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly Vic, feel better soon - I deal with much of the same thing, being a professor.  The germ factories are larger and use more profanity (military college), but the dynamics are remarkably the same otherwise.

Hello, and hope you feel better soon Vic!
 
Had crumpets and milk for breakfast, haven't had crumpet in years.
 
Spent most of time played in Wildstar yesterday crafting after the usual rep duties, and had a fun time roleplaying last night. Might try pvp again today to save up for remaining AMPs if I have time.

{| class="blockquote"
Grats on 50! :D  Let me know if you need anything.  I'll be leveling Donne for the foreseeable future as my prime activity to handle when no one needs me, but I'm always eager to take Seeger for a spin.

{| class="blockquote"
Thanks! I got all the way through Phagelabs and into the next little area with Dr. Lazerin (no transmat!!) and I have the quest that leads me to Crimson Badlands, I think that's where anyway.
 
Is that where I pick up the first of the dailies? I have gotten roughly 30 elder gems from finishing up Phagelabs and doing my path stuff. Is it worth it to quest as well as do dailies or just do the dailies when I get all of them?
 
I can get all the EGs I want up to 140 per week, right? Will I hit that 140 mark with dailies alone or do I need to do a lot more to hit that mark?
 
Sorry for all the nooooooooooooooooob questions :D

And now a more general reply.  Good morning everyone :)
 
Vic, I hope you feel better soon!
 
On the guild officer thing, if I can make a recommendation to you, it's that you probably need to appoint officers instead of waiting for people to volunteer.  In my experience, many people that would make good officers aren't necessarily the type that will just step forward on their own and volunteer.  They need some encouragement.  So you have to strike a balance.  As the leader you have to watch for the people that have the potential, and that are sort of "doing the job without having it".  Then, you have to talk to them and ask them if they'd like to take on the officer job.
 
If you can learn to read the signs correctly you'll get more good officers this way.  You may get some duds from time to time, but if that happens, it's ok.  They tried, and you tried, and it just didn't work - those folks can usually just go back to being normal members and someone else takes a shot at it.  Being an officer in a guild means work and responsibility, and not everyone really wants to have to do those things as part of their hobby that they do in their free time.
 
Anyway, just my unsolicited advice for the day :)
 
Wildstar was a ton of fun yesterday with all the RP going on!  Sadly, I won't get to play again until Thursday now thanks to work and RL stuff.
 
Off to breakfast for now, see you all around the forums!

Hi forumites.
 
Still not back to driving tow work. Working at home today.
 
In Wildstar news, I'm missing playing properly so much! I want to level Tastybrit, dammit. But all I've been doing is housing plots in bed every couple of hours.

Morning loves,
 
I haven't logged in since Friday because the mum was over for a visit. Still adjusting to the sun conures shrieking every few minutes for "attention".
 
I found this interesting spider (you've been warned) video [hint: it's a documentary with a Sparklemuffin Spider] that made me realize I never asked my questions on the Lore thread. Anyone think the different races have specific courtship practices? :) The Aurin males are soooo colorful, the Granok ladies are so elaborate with their foliage appearance, and the Mordesh -- well, I don't know, do they literally hand over their hearts?

Yeah, I've thought about that, but I don't know that I want to dictate that anyone take over an officer role.  I'm not even sure I feel comfortable asking people.  There are a lot of members who would make great officers (Qaestri, Rocio, and Elyona all come to mind right off the bat).  I'm just not comfortable asking someone to take an admin role that doesn't necessarily ask for it.  A lot of people just want to play the game, even if they'd make great officers, and I don't want to take that fun away from anyone.
 
I like being GM, even with the insanity.  But that's not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm always worried about being the guy that gets someone involved in organization and then they burn out on the workload.

One of my guildmates, Onya, an Aurin female, put a bell on her tail yesterday.  Quote:  "It's so you don't lose me! *giggle*"
 
I think she was just trying to get the attention of the all the men in the area.

What's the harm in asking if they'd be interested?  They can always say no :)

I agree - most folks aren't comfortable volunteering.  They'll be flattered you asked no matter what, even if they don't want to go to the dance.  I'd go ahead and ask.
 
My challenge is that well - guild for busy people is guild for busy people.  Everyone I've asked said they'd love to help if they had more free time, but....lack of time to do a good job.  I'm glad people are honest about time demands, but still would be nice - especially filling in the areas I'm not so good at.  (Read, anything involving leveling.)

Good Morning Everyone!
 
Had homemade chocolate donuts for breakfast .. yummmm :) Along with coffee .. lots and lots of coffee this morning.
 
@VicVanMeter Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope you get well soon. Here's some chicken noodle soup, for when you can actually eat again :)
 
 
 
 
Had a good weekend in Wildstar. Got SpousalUnit to level 27. I would have gotten her higher, but hubby kept interrupting both our gaming times by snuggling up to me.
 
Saturday was our 11th wedding anniversary. We stayed home and enjoyed our gaming time and each other, along with a few drinks and a good meal. Yeah, we are the 'ol' married couple up the street' lol.
 
Made some new neighbors for thicket sharing. I really do have to work on my house. It's very plain right now. I just need a theme and I don't have any idea. Need some ideas for a good Exile Human theme. Any ideas all?
 
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hello, folks. *takes a sip of chestnut-flavored coffee while buttering Myala's toasts with the knife her tail is holding* It's been a while, what did I miss? Did the Chua finally blow up Ilium?
I haven't been on for a while.
 
Been disguising myself as a Bounty Hunter to get some reference pictures in another seriously messed up galaxy, something about a Republic, an Empire and two orders of religious nuts, weird dark and light sides of a magical force people are fighting over, catgirls, hooded tail-less Chua shouting "UTINI!", weird red folks talking about a "Sif" purity something and many others having black vein, pale skin, yellow irises and power hunger issues, all of them moving weirdly, having questionable moral decisions and being unable to double-jump or roll. Their ships are cooler than ours, though. I will be back soon, anyway, my contracts are nearly over and I nearly got every pictures I was looking for.
 
As a less-RPd point, however, ever since I played Wildstar, I feel I'm far much better at TOR than before. I still feel being forced to complete every single common mission of every planet without the dynamic Wildstar combat to be the correct level not to be curbstomped is painful. But at least, now I feel I'm doing things properly instead of throwing soft figs at whatever is trying to kill me.

About the bells.... ;) All my aunts wear ankle bracelets with bells on their right feet, it's so their husbands can hear them approaching, if they're up to no good, and have a few seconds to hide whatever project they're working on that isn't a honey do. I wear bells on my purse, light soft chimes, so my family can keep up with me.

Osun event last night was interesting. I don't generally go out into Galaras, so I had never seen crosswind, or anything like that. 
It was nice to RP a bit of "out of uniform" Drusyla, she is a very different creature when going about her work.
 
I'm sorry that I never caught up to your mordesh Norah. My attention was elsewhere and then night fell on Thayd. Literally it went from noon to midnight sky. I thought it was lag, but then the zone chat started yelling about the endtimes.

Good Morning you Crazy Cool Cats!
 
Sorry to hear you're not feelin well Vic, take some time and get some rest!  Lots of fluids and rest  ;)
 
Out of game news it's t-minus 13 working days till I'm off to Vegas for 8 days, nice little vacation and the celebration of my little brothers 21st birthday.  I'm pumped and can't wait, found a super sweet Paintball place that does a "Zombie Apocalypse Experience" on friday nights.  You go in with a group of 10 people, place is roughly two football fields large with 4 zones and 2 safe houses.  They bring in people and dress'em up like Zombies that come at you and your goal is to clear the zones and make it to the end without letting the Zombie's get you!  Think we'll do that, and then we're going to hit up Wine Amplified for Blink 182 on Saturday night (my bro's a big fan, I'm excited to see the Violent Fems myself).  Needless to say I'm super pumped and am counting down the days, I'm in need of a vacation!  Any suggestions on places I need to hit up for food or attractions let me know!
 
In game news recruitment is going well for the guild, we're almost up to a full 20 lvl 50's and now we're just working on gearing and attunements.  We've been running three nights of dungeons a week, and doing fun raids of the lower level world bosses so as many people as possible can partake!  We had to postpone our latest Guild Grand Prix on our housing race track due to people just not being available this past weekend, means our pot for the winner will be double next week and I've got my eyes on the prize!
 
Tonight will find me bumming around, guess I should work some on the world story I haven't touched at all, and some quests out in Grimvault.  Maybe if the wife's up for it we can level her SS some more, get'er to 17 so I can lvl my engineer with her.

Good morning everyone! I started the post before noon, and then got distracted, so I'm leaving it "morning." ;)
 
@Vic, hope you and Mrs. Vic feel better. Our office goes through the germ infestation 2-3 times a year, because taking sick time is somehow a problem with our HR department. :angry:
 
In WS news, I settled on a theme for Scaarinen's house. I'm renovating the exterior of his spacious Chua house and building him a castle laboratory a la Frankenstein, complete with a twisty secret staircase. Over the weekend, I ended up having to put the exterior walls together twice to get the basic geometry right, but that got me a lot more familiar with the housing tools. I eventually figured out how to build the secret staircase so that it's not totally obvious that it's there, and getting to it, the player passes a couple other rooms that I get to decorate, too, so I'm pretty excited about it. I was even more excited when I took my gigantic Mechari through and there was very little adjusting needed for him to fit.
 
I've only been putting up building blocks so far, but perusing the auction house gave me some fun ideas for decor once the overall castle is built.

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?Just got home from work. 6am to 1pm is always fun since pretty much nothing happens outside of typical migraines, upset stomachs and other minor pains. That's about it! Have a picture of Tresayne Toria for no reason whatsoever!In WildStar news, I cleared some more 5+ man quests in Western Grimvault with Seeger and Qae last night. No, I am not Elyona (that's actually the name of Drusera's teacher) but close enough. Erayo the Aurin Esper, woohoo! Life at 50 is the same as it was the other four times I did it. Dailies, 5-man quests, adventures, crafting, etc. Once I get my house done, I might actually be able to start roleplaying!More to do! More to do! Also, more to do!P.S Have a Torine of a day! With lots of swords and Pell servants! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3q6Nn364t8

I do know that the garden, crafting table, festival, and thicket need to be incorporated into the design.  I haven't place any of the bigger plugs yet. Maybe if I come across one of them, I will get an idea.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Build a farm!
 
Take the spacious Exile house and turn it into a farmhouse, build a barn over the festival plug to make it into a hoedown party with a hay loft. Create fenced pens for animals (can use plushies for the animals if you want - I wish we had some more realistic animals) right next to and incorporating the thicket. You might be able to turn the crafting station plug into a gristmill to help it fit in with the farm theme.
 
Then, you can arrange plant decor to look like crops.

			There's a specific decor piece that'd be really good for the gristmill...trying to find it.

			I really wish we had account wide bank/inventory/something. My Domi has all kinds of things I could use for my Exile.

Agreed.
 
I know I sound like a broken record, but maybe if we all say it enough times, we'll get cross faction mail or a bank tab.

 :rolleyes:
 
EDIT: and I can't find the decor item I was thinking of, Cirinde. The item I'm picturing has a windmill-style top that rotates with some sort of flame underneath, so if you scale it up really big and bury the bottom half, you might not have to build the top part of the gristmill at all.

			Anyone know what I need to do with the code if I won the raffle for the Wildstar fancy pants thing?

Vic.. you are so unbelievably right.  Wife is a teacher.  I swear.. if zombies ever happen.. child will be patient 0, teacher will be patient 1 and.. that's how the world ends.  Elementary School kills the world.

I have seen them. I just don't know the name of it. And yes, that would make a perfect top part of the gristmill!
 
Didn't you (or was it VicVanMeter) start a thread about the cross faction mail?

The top hat and monocle are from the Gamescom code, I think.
 
I've never seen that particular chest piece before (the starry pattern is neat), but I've seen lots of similar ones.

You're right Kael, no one should let you loose in game.  You're downright dangerous ;)
 
Really looking forward to the fashion contest we do at ThaydFest on the 18th - if we're really lucky, the merge will happen before then too!

Maybe, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask as long as I stress that anyone can say "no" and both I and the guild would be fine.  I just worry about them saying "yes" when they otherwise wouldn't.
 
EDIT:  You might want to say it doesn't matter anyway.  Officers don't have to be on every day, of course.  If you're PVE lead, you mostly have to show up enough to set up your raid/dungeon times and be there for them.

Hey!  Wildstar note on Facebook says the next Nexus Report will be about The Defile.
 
I think we'll get a lot more information, hopefully.

Stealing is wrong, I'm telling Drusera.

Aw...Kaelish <3  :(
 
As we keep saying, the megaservers can't happen soon enough.
 
@Cirinde: the decor item is called the Self-Cleaning Auto-Grill! I found it on the auction house!

They really, really need to happen sooner.

{| class="blockquote"
"Soon" I'm pretty certain means by next quarter which is why I think Megaservers was announced Sep 2nd and not in August when the population crisis was already very apparent.

I'm feeling neglected. Another friend who had been subbed, just not logging in, sent me a game mail to say they were canceling. :( I haven't really been logging in, so yes, yes, please steal me away.

Donne has reached 15 and gotten to Thayd.  I haven't done any building yet, but his plot has become the guild HQ, its flying fortress, and I'll set to work as Donne levels up and can use more plugs.
 
I christen this flying fortress "The Shadowcaster!"

For those interested, I am the Chef in Koala's Off Topic Bitro thread.
 
So recipes will be there to see what the Bistro is serving. ;)
 
In wildstar news ... leveling toons as the altoholic that I am (specifically leveled paths for costumes). ;)

Well, log into baby Kael on Evindra and we can try to introduce you to a whole bunch of new friends :)
 
I won't be in game til' Thursday but I'll shoot you a PM with the chat channel to join so you can meet everyone before then, if you want.

			Someone should really make a new one of these.  I guess that'll be me.  I hate having old coffee.

			New thread! :)
