I wanted to try and start one of these.
 
I admit I never really have a big breakfast to be honest, usually just a single bagel and a cup of tea/coffee. (not very exciting unless you have a very big love for bagels).
 
 
I've noticed that I've been getting a quite a bit of lag since drop 3. more annoying than serous just that it takes a few seconds for the health bar to go down (lingers for a while) and gibbing animation will keep on replaying and sometimes enemies will keep standing for a few seconds before dropping dead. Also (not sure if anyone else is getting this) but my house keeps on resetting to the default walls, floor, music, etc.
 
Later Chua planning on finishing mapping up Malgave and Southern Grimvault, lot of primes in Grimvualt so Chua have to be sneaky.(bumped into some a few times >.>) Though would love assistance! ^^ and after that make journey down to Blighthaven! (and map that too. >.>).	
----
			
Ooh, that tasty looking bagel!
Also, Chua have question: Is Tali's birthday? Made reference to birthday cake and hats?!
Chua happy to help clear maps and kill thingies in Grimvault and Blighthaven. All have to do is ask, yes?
 
Chua no longer breakfast fan either, often sticking to bacon and eggs.
Not sure if good, but hungry not good either. Science shown breakfast important, but sometimes simply no mood, yes?
 
Lately Chua seen many people play game "wrong"......
Now before jump Chua, allow to explain:
 
New things added to game. Runes for example.
Now Chua see people run normal dungeon like crazy, over and over for whole day.
Get maybe 10-12 pieces to change rune.
Then minion complain is tired of game and feel like drag.
 
Is moment where Chua facepalm, yes?
Why do this? Minion not understand is causing burn out problem self?
Why not play in moderate? changes come when keep at it, but burn out stay away, yes?
Then minion get angry when Chua state obvious.....

Back in the day....
These threads originated from the Beta phase of the game. It's a tradition some of us started and kept going on a daily basis.
Basically it's a place of serenity where everyone posted when they woke up, stating what they had for breakfast, plans for the day and their WildStar progress and plans.
This tradition was approved by moderators, hence why they are in General Discussion and not Off Topic (Please dont start this discussion again....)
 
I think they've been going for a bit less then a year now?
I've seen many people come and go, and the spirit of the topics changed quite a few times as well, even being the cause of drama from different sides, including Carbine.
In short: breakfast & WildStar.
----
			
Good morning folks!  And yes, welcome to the morning coffee thread.  We kinda chill and talk wildstar and morning breakfast habits.  Unfortunately mine have had to change quite a bit since I was diagnosed with diabetes and so the morning bagel (70g of carbs!!  0.o) is a thing of the past.  So I've taken to a croissant (24g of Carbs) and a Four Shot Mocha from Starbucks (30g of carbs without whipped cream...or shipped cream as one typo on the menu here said for a bit).
 
I had to cancel my show last night unfortunately but Vilton picked it up for me thankfully.  I also have chronic migraine and i think the diabetes may have changed things a bit so that the preventatives aren't as effective or some such.  But I covered for Dagun earlier in the week so it all balances out. 
 
Malak has been stalled at about lvl 42 for the last few days.  I'm just hitting Malgrave but Wilderrun kinda burned me out a bit.  Balancing a game is a tricky thing and thankfully Wildstar seems to be fairly balanced in some regards.  Every game has those one or two zones that go on just a bit too long and you get tired of adventuring there long before the quest chain moves you on to the next ride in the theme park.  I think the kill 30 of x quests that were the first quarter of the zone really cause it to drag out and get kinda boring well before you're done.  I was so done with Wilderrun that I stopped questing before finishing the exo lab section.  I think mostly because every time you die or something happens it's at least a 1000m run back to anywhere.  Wilderrun is my one zone that lasts way longer than my tolerance can handle.  The other zones seem to last just long enough to where you get shuffled off to the next zone just before you get tired of it.  So well done for the most part!
 
I've been kicking around an idea of having a "DJ's vs Listerners" event.  We used to do these periodically at the station I DJ'd for back in Champions Online and they were usually a mixed bag.  We either had way too many people show up or we had no one.  But kinda want to get some community participation in things and just have some fun.  Even have one of the other DJ's announce for it on air.  Just something fun to do.
 
So how's everyone else doing this morning?

Good. Got some more RP in.
 
Rocio Silverroot has been quiet, going deep into the Cursewood to practice his forbidden Weave Arts. This morning, he met with a friend who had lost a beloved pet. This friend didn't much trust him, but fotunately, the reanimation went well. True to form, Rocio neglected to inform his friend of the consequences of using one's own primal pattern to reanimate a creature.  He just told him that it was necessary to do it. "Why couldn't you tell me that before?" The Aurin asked.
 
Note to all folks, if someone is asking for your fresh blood in a necromantic ritual with a grin on his face... you might want to ask your questions then. :)

I'm finishing up my yogurt and first cup of coffee, dreading going outside since it's 16 deg F.
 
Not much W* last night.  Ran a normal Siege of Tempest Refuge with an altaholic guildie.  I still don't care for that adventure,even on normal.  After that, had just enough time for Northern Wastes dailies.  Some of the kill quests seemed to go faster, but is it just me or are there now more Primes in that zone.
 
Logged on this morning to quickly harvest my garden and ...  it's just bare dirt.  I guess I finally caught the garden bug people have been talking about.  :(

			They added the Moodie primes but that's the only ones I know of.

			it's looking awesome so far!  Drop in on Telessa Ford's plot sometime.  I built her ship on her housing plot and it turned out kinda nice.  I haven't done more since the drop on her ship but i thought the basics turned out really nice for what I had available at the time.  But it's looking really awesome so far Vic.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
This thread needs coffee!
 
Had a veggie, ham, and cheese omelet for breakfast along with lots of coffee.
 
Life is crazy and it doesn't seem to be getting any less crazy as the holidays come upon us. I want to give up my adult responsibilities for a week and just play WildStar. I might be able to finally get to level 30 LOL.
 
 
Happy Birthday Drpwndr!
 
Hope everyone has a wonderful day and a gaming weekend :)

ALSO!  BEFORE I FORGET!
 
Shameless plug; I'm performing a questionnaire prior to another content treatise, this one on server independence, co-dependence, and idiosyncrasy.  Please head over and fill it out, I kind of got lost in the shuffle of the exploit feedback and I would REALLY appreciate the feedback before I write this.

Good morning coffee people!
 
Didn't think I was going to be able to play much last night since I was feeling bad enough to consider leaving work early.  I had a headache bad enough that I was feeling queasy which I think was eye-strain related.  I'm also prone to apnea and I've been waking up most days this week feeling like I pulled an all-nighter. 
 
Normally I drink decaf coffee in the afternoon, but I opted for water instead and I think that helped calm things down a bit and popped a couple Advil when I got home so I was well enough to game.  The silver lining of the emergency hotfix downtime was that it shooed me away from the computer at a reasonable hour  :lol:.  Used a Breathe-Right strip and actually feeling like I slept for once.
 
Finished off Malgrave and moved on to Grimvault where Kitty hit 47.  Looks like I'm on track to get her to 50 sometime Saturday morning and get her blank key on Tuesday unless the boom-box gods deem it fit to give her another 2 or 3 Eldar Gems :ph34r:

Good morning everyone, happy birthday Tali, and welcome to the coffee thread Kory!
 
Last night in Wildstar I got Tal out and made some progress through Wilderrun.  I was all set to take a group into War of the Wilds and then the announcement came that servers were coming down for a fix.  So, oh well.  Ended up logging out and getting sucked into a game of Beyond Earth, so didn't make it back in last night :)
 
Tonight!  It's Friday night!  I have no idea what I'm doing!  But there will be lots of exclamation points!!!!!!!!
 
I am sure that Daggers will be up to something fun.  There's a PvP thing on our calendar.  Maybe I'll try to build Neph's PvP LAS tonight.

Coping with very little sleep at the moment (early rising insomnia) so everything is kind of fuzzy.
 
Have both Remil and Glory well runed.  Worked with the Old Timer's Guild and got folks (including myself) a Pirate's Bane weapon attachment.  Very appealing now with 4 rune slots.  Remil at 12/12 Tech and 12/12 Weapon Spec, and Glory at 12/12 Spellweaver and... well a bunch of extra stuff that's stupid.  Easy to add runes, changing them is expensive.
 
But occasionally useful.  As an experiment, I picked up a Luminite Hybrid core from the CX and crafted a new psyblade for Glory.  Even though we can't supermax a single stat, the cap is still pretty high.  For example, prior CW-3 Psyblade with Dual Hybrid, talented in psyblades, I got 1033 assault power and 110 moxie.  Today, CW-3 Psyblade with Luminite, talented in psyblades it's 1050 assault power and 100 moxie... AND a lot of finesse too.  So... it's a power boost by a little and lots of side stuff too.  Had to switch out one rune slot though, and still the bug exists where you can't add to crafted weapons, otherwise I could give a 3rd to that weapon.
 
Anyhow, she's a deadly little aurin.  And new rotation actually fits her better.  In the storyland of my brain, she's an esper who really can't heal (primarily because I suck at healing and don't want to heal).  Previously though, she was taking Bolster and using that for psi point generation.  Sometimes the land of story and the mechanics of Getting Things Done don't wholly gel.  But now, I honestly can't get Bolster in and still keep some stunning going, so pow... away it goes.
 
So, ... yeah losing track of things... maybe I'll just faceplant on this schematic here and powernap.

Good morning, everyone!
 
For Drpwnder:
 
 
Coffee cake in the truest sense. :D
 
I actually worked a bit on my Engineer last night. As much of an altoholic as I am normally, I'm having a really hard time settling on a second class to level. Not one of the other 5 is as fun to play as my medic. The closest is my Stalker, but I strongly dislike the dependency on stealth. I was hoping that Engineer would be fun, mainly because I'd like having a tank character, and I tend to prefer ranged abilities. Spellslinger would be awesome if it had the damage to back up the squishiness. At low levels, it certainly doesn't. I dunno. I'll keep at Engi until I get used to it. It is amazing how WS's classes all have completely different play styles within the same combat system.
 
Engi kinda feels like someone who's superglued to the rocking chair on the front porch shooting squirrels with a bazooka.
 
Medic feels like the self-repairing T-1000 hyped up on too much caffeine. :lol:
 
I also made the "mistake" of reinstalling Skyrim...It is amazing to me that people are still creating and updating awesome mods for a game that's 3 years old. I had to try some of them. I know we've had this discussion before, but I truly wish MMOs could figure out ways to capitalize more on the obvious market for player-created content.

Good morning!
 
I forgot servers were coming down this AM. I logged in to see them come down. Oops! I was having my coffee at the time. Alas, I guess I'll go into work early (then maybe I can be done early!)
 
This weekend, I have work to catch up on. I also ordered a new stationary bike, and I need to get it set up in my momcave. I'm pretty excited about it. Hubby is gonna help me set it up cause it's crazy heavy! I'm sure I'll still find plenty of time to play in Wildstar, too. :)
 
Last night, we downed X-89. Normally, that's not a big deal. However, since we have pretty much an entirely new raid team, it was exciting. It was nerve wracking with the announcement of the servers coming down shortly after we started the raid, so I was pleased that we got that done. Once they came back up, I went and played in the Defile a bit. I'm really enjoying it. Very cool stuff.
 
I need more coffee! Refill time!
 
Oh yes - and Happy Birthday, Tali!!

Morning everyone I hope you're well and happy birthday Tali!
 
I got to do a little bit of defile before bed, but I didn't do much else. I spent most of the day in the ER after work, but it was nice to play for a short bit after that...
I'll be sleeping most of the day and weekend, but would like to defile and work on my house later.

			Hey Daggers!  TT just announced that Datascape will, in the near future, be converted to a 20 man raid.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Were you the patient? Is everything ok? :(
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Went in as a patient, things are fine now though. However they ask that I monitor a few things that may be cause for surgery if something did occur.
 
So...Datascape will now be a 20 man in the future. I am foreseeing a sea of raging and tears, but I think it's a change for the better in the longterm. As much as I miss 40 mans, I think that this is a "healthy" change...

{| class="blockquote"
I think, from just the response so far, most people agree.

I'm of two minds about this.
 
One the one hand, cool, I guess that makes it easier once we get GA sorted out next year.
 
On the other, I was actually looking forward to doing DS as 40-person content.  Because there's a lot more you can do, encounter-wise, with that number of players than you can do with 40.  Or at least there is in my head.

So WS went from their attempt to bring back 40 man raids down to 20.  Does this mean there is not enough players to support 40 man ( tbh, I don't buy their reasoning )?
 
I am of the mind that WS should move to a hybrid model ( a la SWTOR ) and get it over with. Face it we need more players and WS "seems" to be dwindling ( per the most recent NCSOFT report ).  I wish WS had taken off, I really do but, it seems that it will not hold a primacy of place in the MMRPG universe.  I just hope they can hold on enough to stay open.
 
Oh Coffee and stuff ...
