I'm bad at food pictures. Will that suffice? That's basically my... dinner-breakfast-thingie. It's technically after noon, but I'm awake since yesterday evening. Food becomes confusing.
 
So yeah. Impulse control. I'm totally lacking it... and because of that I couldn't resist the urge to buy some credd to take advantage of the high prices it goes for right now. I guess some platinum can't hurt, mh? And I got the pretty marauder outfit now, woo.
 
I also made the best Chua in the world.
 
 
Look at that face. Look at it.

Morning! (or afternoon)
 
You men who long for love, you mustn't all despair,Theres a secret you should know,to capture the hearts of the fair.You may not have the looks. You may not have the dash.But to win yourself a girl,If you only got a moustache, a moustache, a moustacheif you only got a moustache.

Hey Wylf, thanks for starting coffee. I'm working out of the home office this morning, so it's a quiet, peaceful day with no cross-town commute!
 
I got into the game last night and started a guild. If you're going to be around in-game today, let me know and I'll send you an invite. I didn't try and recruit anyone else just yet, but I figure I have time for that over the week and this weekend.
 
Your Chua makes me uncomfortable, with his sad eyes. He reminds me of Droopy.

That is the most conflicted chua I've ever seen, haha. The eyes and hair say 'Don't hurt me!' but the moustache and gun say 'Back off or I'ma stick this where the sun don't shine'.
 
I also have a bit of impulse control trouble when it comes to CREDD. It's easy to tell myself that it's for a good cause, that app. $300 hasn't just gone to gameplay advantages but to creating muh 3D art (pffft). But in the end I blow up most of the plots... then I look at where most of the money went— my crate— and realize that every item in that crate is soulbound to one character...
 
BOA crates, Carbine. Go ahead... make my day. :P
 
Hadn't really thought about it until now, but this may become a problem for me when F2P hits. I know for a fact I'll be spending money unlocking that extra decor limit, and trying to squeeze my new student budget for a few drops to buy some guard decor and maybe an unlock or two. But then I'll still need plat to buy in-game new decors and such, which is a struggle because house building takes so much time, along with socializing and such, that grinding out plat is almost impossible while still maintaining a practical out-of-game schedule.
 
What am I gonna do? Suppose it'll be a real test of my commitment to building and the game. If it turns out that I just can't get the time to play content for plat, the whole house of cards will fall apart...
 
Here's to hoping that never happens. :P   Damn TESOL courses, why must you be so demanding...
 
Anyone else worried about this? I imagine most of you actually play the game's content for funsies, haha.

			He looks very reserved for a Chua. Is he poorly? ate too much?

When a game feels like a job, it's no longer a game.

I thought he looked a bit more like Sam Elliot
 
 
I love the mustache's in Wildstar  :P

Precisely why I rarely do any group content, unless it's with friends. The days of me sitting down for two or three (or more) hours of uninterrupted game time is long gone. 
 
Probably why I never got heavy into Housing. I am a professional graphic artist and have been for over 20 years. I spend all day, every day, moving pixels around in an imaginary space to create art. When I sit down to game, moving pixels around an imaginary space to create art is REALLY REALLY low on my list of priorities.
 
I totally can appreciate people who are good at Housing. I could be that good if I applied myself - but at the end of the week, Housing is just another form of graphic arts and I am *so done* with that. :lol:

Love the OP's new Chua, that is one fine moustache. My Chua shaved his beard off recently but might just have to grow something like that - it's Movember soon after all.

Not to rain on your dream there, but I saw "Jeffrey Lebowski" in Dominion chat last night.  :(
 
I can't wait for the Great Arkship Name-Purge. I am going to be waiting like a hawk to log-in and hopefully scoop a bunch of names that people squatted on and then left.

Hey guys, I'm still pretty ill but we managed to at least clear Logic wing and try out some new stuffs last night.
Healing pistols dropped from a mini, but we gave them to another SShealer in the guild cause poor guy needed them more.
 
Pardon my typos and stuff my head is all over.
 
For free to play, I'm thinking of rolling a stalker for a Vanilla GA group we're putting together in Venus Rising(progressing without proper gear and tactics, of course with my experience I'd only be a filler and I'd be expected to keep my mouth shut during their progress attempts)
 
but I can't decide which race! QQ
Niliana's sister or cousin
 
orrr
 
this hot thing xD
 
And people say Dominion characters can't be attractive! :P

I guess it's just unusual (and in the way you're putting it, job-like) that I feel the need to juggle finances to continue having fun in a video game. :/
 
But that's F2P for ya. Something to think on...

Still waiting for Blade and Soul to start "beta" over here. 
 
Madda sure can't wait to "test" it.

To answer your question yesterday Tex:
 
1) Yes Dom has many rpers! We just got through a bit of drama throwing a bad apple out of the community, but things are starting to settle down now! If you want to get involved, I think that Ijio Nano is on all day today, you can try talking to her about rp places :). Otherwise try messaging Chef Noriack. Also join our WSRP channel, its not always good but people there will tell you about all our rp locations.
 
2) I don't know if Illium actually has sewers, but I assume it does. We also know (or settlers know) that the city is actually built on top of an Eldan facility of some kind. Also its a city that involves chua, you can bet there's going to be some nasty stuff hanging out down there. So I figured perfect rp environment! :D I'll be building some of it and then use my Chua Janitor as an NPC and do some kind of one-off adventure.

Technically afternoon coffee, I suppose...but coffee nonetheless.
 
Hey, guys. How's it goin'?

So good. So, so good.  :lol:  :lol:

Oh, it's EXACTLY the type of people we're going to have ... ahem ... injected. That and far worse. Trolls, bots, spammers, kids-with-moms-credit-cards, self-entitled brats and screaming mimi whiners.
 
Maybe six worthwhile players out of thousands. 
 
If we're lucky.

Oh, it's too late for that. I've spent plenty of time on the test server, and the dissection has already begun ... starting with the Holo-Cryptkeeper.
 
I don't begrudge the transition to F2P as a means to an end - but I've done the "small game that opened the floodgates" before, and the game and community never recover. The game might make money, but the soul is inevitably either leeched away or put up for sale on the Cash Shop.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well, tbh, there were some of those before when I played as well. 
 
There's really no solution for it. The game needs the playerbase. I wonder how we can assimilate these people to fit the game instead of a million new people demanding the game be dissected piecemeal....

Honestly, f2p will likely go exactly as launch did, back in the day. A huge influx of new players who will play for a month or so... and then stop. The question is, if enough of those players will remain after the main bunch lost interest.
 
Also, I apparently missed Tex by an hour, according to my social panel. Drat.

I definitely think a lot of the issues that plagued launch have been fixed. It's a little like fixing a leaking pipe; the fewer holes in the system, the less players will spill out after.
