Hello world! Hello Europe! It's 10 AM here and it just doesn't feel right waiting for mid day for someone to make a morning coffee thread. :)It's been a while since I ate actual breakfast food. Today is no different. That left over slice of pica will do! It's not like I couldn't just go to yesterday's shopping bags and get some fruit (bought lots of fruit!), but it's my day off (well I should be working, but it's not a lecture day in uni so I get to work from home), so I get to be lazy! In Wildstar news yesterday was probably one of the most high days for me in Wildstar history. I got to pug with guilds that will unfortunately be leaving the server on Sunday. We got all the way to the maw. Not only that but I actually got to keep two pieces of gear. One is so pretty that I'm wearing it as a costume rather than a gear upgrade (sorry guys!), but nobody else found it useful so I think it's alright. I mean look at it!
Those gloves are so preeety! I also managed to reach 19/20 Talent points towards level 4 of cooking yesterday. Finally, finally, FINALLY I'm finished with Galeras bees. In fact after a while I found cooking to probably be the most time consuming, most fun activity to do, when there's no guildies online to play with. Which brings me to my coffee thread question:if another hobby was to be implemented into the game what would you like it to be and why?I would probably have to pick fishing. Why? Because I'm used to it being an MMOs. After such a long while I want to do the activity that everyone else find the most boring activity possible in an MMO. I want a new hobby and I want to master it! They're fun!

Congrats!  I was just about to make a coffee thread so your timing is amazing.  Last night was a great night for me in Wildstar as well.  Though I didn't get to level Malak and further, I did have an awesome show and hired on a new DJ for a midshift show on Tuesdays.  I'm looking forward to having more people.  My time with Wildstar has been unfortunately limited lately as it's been a migraine week for me.  seems like every other day this week I've been down with one this week.  Today I fear won't be much different.  Hopefully it'll pass and I'll be able to get into the 40's with Malak by next week.
 
As for a hobby, something that I've never seen in a game that would be amazing, and seem kind of simple as a bone to throw to the RP'ers would be some sort of costume tailoring hobby.  Nothing with any stats, just straight up clothing for outfits.  There's been a few games that have extra outfit slots and things meant for RP'ers but nothing like this (that I've seen).
 
I hope everyone's having a good day.

Hi Everyone!
 
Yesterday was a huge RP day for me. On my other character, I had a bit of drama and She got her boyfriend to confess his love for her! Yay!
 
But the real show stopper was was the RP between Rocio, Karaaga, and Seeger.  Rocio failed to properly reanimate the corpse of a blackbird. But under the watchful eyes of Karaaga and his friend Seeger, not only did they do it successfully, but Rocio now has an avian familiar. "Every boy needs a pet," Seeger quipped much to my amusement.
 
Not sure what Rocio will call his new undead companion.
 
We need pets in this game...	
----
			congrats on both arpees Rocio! name his new undead friend Quoth :)  Gotta slip some Discworld in where ya can.

			yes much like that.  :)  There never seems to be anything to make actual clothing.  Wildstar has come the closest with the ability to wear any item as a costume.  I'm all for hobbies.  I was big into fishing in the other two games i've played that've had hobbies.  Just something to do when i don't feel like adventuring (*gasp*)

Houngan Seeger... raising the dead and corrupting the youth... since 2014....
 
 
Yesterday was my last sick day; I'm back at work now.  But it was a good one.  I ran dailies on Seeger and then got to pop to Spenser for a few hours.  I swapped back to Seeger, ran the aforementioned RP with Rocio and Karaaga, and hung out the rest of the night helping the guildies.  The new guy is hilarious. :D  Content night got pushed back to tonight at 9 (it was slotted to be last night at 11), and I'll definitely be there if I can.  However, I got an emergency call that I might need to run a soundboard either tonight or tomorrow night for my stepfather's band.  I'll find out which in a few minutes.  It's up in the air whether it lands on content night or my date night, but whichever, extra money is always extra money.
 
I wish I was still sick.	
----
			
Just cold cereal and coffee here, nothing to write home about.
 
No WildStar yesterday, but today should be better.
 
 
As for the hobby question, I've never found an MMO hobby I enjoy.  Fishing would probably be a top pick for a lot of people.  I always joke that it's actually a form of torture, but many, many people like it.

Good morning coffee people!
 
I actually had a homemade pretzel for breakfast today.. it was sent to us on a 'care parcel' by my mother. She occasionally bakes (mostly pies) and loves sending us her creations from time to time. It is like opening a package filled with my childhood memories and it is deeply appreciated every time I get one (not to mention I have to fight the rest of the household for my cut.. :P). I think I should take a snapshot of it next time.. this is a thread that loves hosting food images! :)
 
Best part.. at the bottom of the package I found a box of my favorite coffee brand. The simple joys! :)
 
In Wildstar news, yesterday I tried my first 'pug' veteran adventure and it was a success. Normally I find the safety of our guild groups extremely comforting.. but I wanted some practice and decided to queue into the unknown. Maybe the rest of my random party members were seasoned veterans.. or maybe I was lucky.. either way I had a good time, zero drama and managed to snatch a gold medal (whee).
 
Still excited about this Tuesday -now a popular gametime topic- but also a bit stressed to finish my in-game goals before the new content.
 
Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning, everyone!
 
Hooray for European breakfasts! I miss living in Europe so much. Not that I dislike living in the US, but study abroad was one of the best experiences of my life.
 
So for today, international coffee:
 
 
Anyhoo...
 
By the time I was able to log in last night, I was already tired and not really into doing anything strenuous, so it was a relaxation night. I am now up to about 80 survivalist neighbors, so by the time I get through one cycle, the thickets at the beginning have more trees to gather.
 
So, I did lots of gathering while I caught up with some TV shows and other stuff I needed to get done. Then, I crated Scaarinen's house and started over. I had the concept to the point where I liked what I'd done, but parts of it were extremely cramped, so I decided to restart and try to modify it to use the various spaces better. Now that I'm much more familiar with the housing controls, it's already faster than it was before.
 
For example, I realized recently that if you're trying to line up walls into specific shapes (like a hexagon), it is far easier to line the walls up on open ground, link them, and then move them where you want them in your house. Seems obvious now, but it didn't occur to me right away. :rolleyes:
 
An improvement that I would LOVE to see to the housing controls: The ability to copy/paste linked groups of objects.
 
For example, if I create a hexagon with a certain wall type, I would love to be able to link all six together, copy the group, hit paste, and have a second set of six walls automatically linked together that I can place. All of that is assuming that I had the necessary items in my crate.
 
Maybe eventually. B)
 
As for a hobby that I'd like to see added...let's see...
Treasure Hunter (kinda like Explorer discoveries, but more like scavenger hunts with clues and maps)	Zookeeper (catch creatures to put in your housing plot)
As for new crafting professions:
Costume Designer (think tailor, but specifically for costumes)	Mechanic (create mounts & flair)

			As a hobby, I'd love musician.  That'd be great to get a stripped down fruity loops and music skills so we could play little musical minigames.

Heya Coffee peoples. Breakfast: Boooooring.  Goofed when I got to work and started with decaf <_< no wonder I was dragging... Wildstar: Hung out at Black Hoods' earlier then the Drunken Boulder.  Social Fun Times :lol:.  Think I'll make an effort to knock out lvl 41 tonight.

			GW2 has musical instruments.  <shudders>  Thank God they gave us the option to mute them.

{| class="blockquote"
Holy heck how did you find so many?

{| class="blockquote"
Unfortunately, Kaelish said NN is no longer supported.  :(
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Oi.  Hrm, maybe I'll look at it.  I don't want to make any promises especially considering my list of itches to scratch is getting longer every day.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I remember instruments from Guild Wars 2. While they were still limited I remember writing popular tunes in numbers to be played in game and people were even talking about setting up orchestras. Which is awesome. It would be so great to have that here :D
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Better than modeling it off the real thing and making you set up sound gear for two hours before you play, then tear it all down again.
----
			the LOTRO music system was my main hobby in that game.  There were nights that we played in the Prancing Pony.  I was a Minstrel of course.  I taught everyone how to play and i made the ABC files for a bunch of songs and instruments.  There was also teh time I was a total dick and watched a guy that stole our quest mob die horribly while I played Eye of the Tiger on my Lute.  There's nothing worse than getting your ass kicked to a soundtrack.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I much prefer acoustic concerts anyway. :P
----
			
Or you could turn your housing plot into a miniature Red Rocks. All the natural acoustics you want. :D
 
Sometimes I wish I live in Denver. Concerts at RR and Food+Wine extravaganza in Aspen!  It's also the #2 beer city in the country if you're into those hoppy malty stuff.

Morning everyone! I hope you're all doing well today <3
 
I got Montka up to level 28.5 last night so I'm really happy! I should be on track for hitting 50 before drop 3 *flex*
I'm also working on my characters RP story and working on a plot with a couple of people along with brainstorming a few things for skullkickers*evil scheming face*
 
In regard to real life. I got tired of Carbine not doing it...so I ordered a bunch of materials and making my own Wildstar plushies!
 
 
I've only played GW2 and loved the musical instruments. Our guild ahd a little music festival thing a couple of times and we also tried to do a play with our own music...that...didn't...go so well and turned into a brawl among the musicians for being out of sync lol

On hobbies.
 
My history with music systems is SWG and LOTRO.  I preferred SWG, because while LOTRO's system offered more creativity, SWG's system made it much easier to get together with the band and play something that sounded halfway decent, without everyone downloading the same script from the same website.
 
That said, I'm also biased against LOTROs system because it seemed like everyone's hobby was transcribing older pop songs into the game.  I don't begrudge anyone their musical tastes, but Madonna and Prince didn't really fit very well in middle-earth.  Just sayin'
 
Fishing would be awesome, especially if the fish could be used in cooking.  I have a long history with fishing in pretty much every MMO that had it. :)
 
I love the treasure hunting idea, especially if there's a "treasure map" component and then once you find the spot, you have to fly a scanbot manually to find the treasure.  Make it a minigame.
 
I'm not so sure about the costuming idea.  I would rather see more unique artwork given to equipment crafting professions so that they can make you the costume pieces, since they already have quite a bit today.
 
And yes, if you're wondering, move is mostly done.  Internet is up, furniture is here, and I just have one or two more carloads of stuff to bring over and then unpacking.... so much unpacking...
 
 
Edit:  Forgot a hobby.  Chompacabra breeding.  Have a little pen on your house plot where you have to feed them and introduce captured speciments to breed new chompacabra variants :)	
----
			
@Vick- no worries, only one person may die in this process ;)
 
I've always loved fishing in MMOs. I miss going out on trips with friends and or guildies. Since I couldn't really do it in person it was the next best thing for us.	
----
			Honestly, the only reason I think costuming would be good for its own crafting profession would be that A) adding it to the three existing armor professions could be potentially tricky to keep all three satisfied, and B ) when they first implement it, we'd get a whole lot of new stuff all at once. :P	
----
			
*curses*  May the Wildstar Gods bless you with a bunch of Fisherman rep grind.
 
B*con happening right now. New Team Fortress-esque game Overwatch announced.
