Thank you, Drop 5! I am having HIGH-TECH COFFEE to thank you with!
 
 
Having the day off, I just spent 30 minutes at my bank, emptying out all the power cores (now in my tradeskill bags!) and all those costume pieces (now in the Holo-Wardrobe!).
 
I'm going to try out some of those lower-end contracts directly.
 
Oooooh, it's an exciting day to have off! 
 
So, what are YOUR plans for Wildstar today?!?!?
 	
----
			Oh.... *cupcake.* I forgot to start my patcher before leaving for work...	
----
			
The first thing I'm going to do when I get home is hit menacing strike just to see the new animation.
 
So last night was fun.  We threw together a vet KV run that went well (no Osun spinning rims though :( ) we did stop by the optional boss and I FINISHED SEEGER'S ATTUNEMENT!  WOOT! :D
 
After that I headed out to help lost out with some Wilderrun quests.  And that was my night.
 
I'm not sure what we'll be up to tonight.  I'll see what Parth wants to do since I didn't get to play with her last night.  So I'll see what's going on then!  Until then, though, see you on a Drop 5 Nexus!

Patch day, patch day
Roly poly patch day
Patch day, patch day
Freak them out
Yum
 
Well, popped on early this morning to go through deep anxiety as I acquired skins and eliminated the items providing them.  It's not completely done but I think I got the big shooters (heh, engineer joke there... heavy gun, big shooters... these are the jokes, folks.  They don't get any better.) and I have a list of more items to be managed when I get done with work tonight.  And that's just one character.  Glory's got a whole different set of costumery to manage.  Fortunately I don't think I got too crazy with that on any other character, so that's probably the extent.
 
Killed Ohmna for a 2nd week in a row.  Nice to see that it wasn't a fluke.  We spent much of the evening with 10% and lower attempts until we got the kill again.  And a few more people were attuned.  Did the minibosses in Datascape as well.  Two pieces of tanking armor that I cannot get to work.  I managed to get the Phage Maw challenge chest before the itemization drop and it's been impossible to replace.  So, Kinetic Body Barrier and Firm Graps are in the bank until such time as they become viable.  
 
Tonight, practice tanking with new build.  Going with a dashless tanking build in order to pick up Expose Weakness.  Not really wild about this, but it's a big benefit and should be doable.  Just slightly less of a safety net.  Interestingly though, results in an ability loadout closer to the old dungeon build so it'll be at least comfortable.  And more mitigation is always nice.
 
Anyhow, ought to get myself onto the bench and see if I can make this board fail while the software guy is on vacation.  Enjoy.  Don't freak out too much.

My WildStar consisted of patching the game while I exercised this morning. Aside from one patch failure it went smoothly. Now I'm at work, where I will stay until tomorrow evening. Good times!
 
Once I can log back on to WildStar I fully intend to utilize the Holo-wardrobe and switch my cores over to the crafting bag. It'll be neat to deck all of my alts out in the full Soldier garb and finally send my omni plasmic threads and highwayman's outfit to the wardrobe.
 
As for pets, well... the ONLY pet worth having is not in the game yet. Some day I will have my cubiglet. In the meantime I think there is a pumera cub in there somewhere that I can use to convince myself that I took my best friend from Farside home with me.	
----
			There were pumera cubs in Wilderrun too, during the Torine quest.  You had to turn them in eventually, but if you ordered the quests right and didn't turn it in right away, you'd have pumera cubs following you around the jungle for a long time. :-)	
----
			Morning.  Just randomly came by the forums this morning being my day off and saw the new drop has hit, so i logged on for the first time in a lil while.  Spent the while doing the holo wardrobe which is a lil confusing at first, but not to bad. Pulled my power cores, then just sat there not having a clue what to do.  Unfortunately, Im still probably gonna be taking a break from Wildstar with my playing time being so scarce, I'll just be doing something else that doesn't cost me anything XD (Hello older RPGs i havent played in forever) Ill still probably be lurking the forums or be on here or there till sub runs out. But i will be back, thats for sure, Wildstar is just far to amazing. ^_^	
----
			
Cleared out my bank of power cores and costumes.  MUCH more room now thankfully.
 
Played around with the holo-wardrobe and it's pretty nice.
 
 
Finally, I took a peek into Star Comm Basin and unlocked the new adventure.
 
However the new drop comes with its own pains.  Some of my most important addons are out of commission as expected.  I only really need my dps meter and build saving addon back since I have so many saved builds for each situation.  :P  I'll have to endure.  For now I'm trying to track down whatever the new medic rotation and build is.  QC seems to be making a comeback but I've heard talk about using D. Probes, Collider, and Fissure in the new buils, not to mention if GR has a place in any optimal builds.  I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
I so want to go home and play today! But, alas, I have to be a responsible adult till 5pm. So, in the meantime, I am 'playing' vicariously through you all who are in-game. :P
 
Last night I did my dailies. I put in yesterday's morning thread about killing Empress by myself. Well, here it is again! I am so damn proud of myself. To answer Phandaal's question from said thread, I cleaned out the area she was in of additional mobs, then did a constant strafing circle around her. She only got me once when I ended up in the water swimming and had to heal up some. But other than that, it went really well. Let's see if I can do it again lol.
 
Logged off early to watch The Voice with Hubby.
 
I will be going home for lunch, which is normal, and will patch up my game so it will be ready for when I get home. Also, will be throwing a pot roast in the slow cooker with baby red potatoes and carrots/onions. So supper will also be ready when I get home. More time to play! :D
 
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
 
Edit: Ok just found this gem in the notes:
SpellslingersSpellslingers who Void Slip and die in Mordechai’s lava pit are being instantly killed upon resurrecting. This is unintended and we are working on a fix.It's not like I don't already die a horrible death on Mordechai, now they have this going on. I am so screwed! LOL	
----
			
hmmm,
 
Today is the first day I can play WildStar again, and this combined with a new drop....
Sounds like a good moment :D
 
On the other hand, I know I will have my hands full now with updating every single Addon under the *Ex Project and the ones I'm maintaining....
So this weekend is going to be busy for me.
Unfortunately did not have the time to develop them in advance on the PTR.......
Too much time is going to raiding at the moment.
2/9 DS :D
 
Outside that, I've become more active on Tumblr, changed my handle on Tumblr and going to use this now as Roleplay base for my OC.
Already picked up drawing, and practising almost daily on getting the errors out of my drawing.
Met 3 awesome people so far on tumblr that are really supportive and are the main reason I started with it.
New link in my signature :D

You should have thrown in some biscoff cookies or biscoff spread. That stuff is full of win. I myself am torn between 1) finishing up the work day, going home, playing some Wildstar or 2) finishing up the work day, cinco de mayo (read copious margaritas)

I responsibly bribed my spouse with two jars of nutella and some brandy to find me that Torine pumera as I am stuck at work. 
----
			So I found the Pet Vendor in Thayd and bought the three pets that it would let me. For some reason, it wouldn't let me buy the Celery Sprout. It was "red" but didn't give any indication as to why.  :(	
----
			
Not gonna be able to play today, but I'm pumped! Will be interesting to see how the raid does with new buff mechanics.
 
Also, guess we're gonna schedule a day to try out the boss-in-a-box, so looking forward to that.
 
Started full on recruiting for the guild last night and already got some interest. Looking forward to playing with the newer folks as soon as I can get on.
 
Oh, and I just found out my wife might be changing her work schedule, meaning she might be able to raid with us every other week. Sweet!	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
What pets did you get?
 
Also, did you put the not being able to buy the celery sprout in the feedback thread?

We are aware that there's a hidden requirement for some of the pets but it doesn't let players know what that requirement is, we're looking into it :)

How do you get the vind? That could be a suitable replacement until Carbine fixes the cubiglet that they egregiously neglected to include.

So just logged in....and BOOM! I am highly disappointed.......in myself...
 
I apparently forgot to loot 40 challenge loot rewards...lol

Sigh.....I was doing so good at making a clean break.  Now i can't get off the forums and i just logged back in. Why must I love Wildstar so? =(  Even though I know I can't play enough to justify a sub or have time to farm plat, I just can't seem to walk away....Every other game depresses me because its not Wildstar...
 
Wildstar, Why you so amazing?

So....this drop made me actually excited a bit to make my slinger now...PEW PEW!
I may still level up my stalker though, I like her as well, but i miss healing.
 
Also it's hilarious seeing an Aurin run around in the engineer raid outfit, omg...	
----
			I think i have decided for a theme for my housing plot.  Extreme laser tag...	
----
			In a fact slightly related to boulders, Aurin got the beta ark ship outfit back.

yup....
I hope it stays and that they allow Mordesh to do it as well. It doesn't work for mordesh but works for exile humans and aurin, but exile humans get the post-boobgate version). Like the screen of my slinger up there is using it...
It doesn't seem possible the other way around though which is unfortunate and I wish it was...
Since cats out of the bag anyway...

I think I'll leave that place alone until the crowd dies down. You can't freaking MOVE out there right now. All the challenge toggles and mobs are gone within milliseconds of spawning.  :angry:

Have any of you experienced the missing amps problem? I saw on the feedback thread that at least one person actually lost an amp that they had unlocked.
 
In any case keep up the information flow! It's the only way I am able to stay sane while stuck here at work! Well that and reading the discussion around NASA's tests on the EM Drive.
