We're doubling your pleasure since your didn't have coffee yesterday!
 
 
Logged into Drop 5 and loved everything I did.  I'm attuned, but I didn't feel like looking for a GA run.  So I bounced around the holo wardrobe, putting Seeger's cybereye on all his costumes.  Then I hopped on Spenser and ran his holo wardrobe.
 
Since I never get to play Spenser, I decided to hang out on him the rest of the night, playing with my housing plot and generally having fun.  I hopped back Exile-side to help Cyco with a Scorch run, since that put him into the Kythria stage of attunement.  Figured I'd help with that but yesterday was sort of busy.  I never got to log in.  I had band practice after my wife's appointment (which I go to), and the culmination ran up to 10:30.  To top it all off, I'm sick.  So yay.
 
What's on your Drop 5 agenda now?  I know I've got a new housing plot to start building as well as finally getting into raiding, but I need to start taking contracts.	
----
			
Well, I spent a while working on a CS/IG rotation, but am having trouble getting it to parse as good as IG/FB. So yeah. I hear it does better on raid bosses, but it's a more challenging rotation, and if I'm leading the raid I want to make sure I'm not tripping over my rotation while coordinating stuff. But the CS/IG rotation is more fun . . .   so I don't know.
 
I've hardly had a chance to log on since drop 5, but looking forward to seeing how my DPS is in GA tomorrow :)
 
Also, recruiting seems to be going well. We're filling out the roster pretty well. Maybe room for 5 or so more folks on our new raid team. It's nice having a lot of new/returning people in the game :)	
----
			
My drop 5 agenda is going to be trolling  reading the forums. My computer just died :( dead as a dodo died, and I don't think this old macbook would manage Wildstar
 
If I'm lucky its just the power supply
its not even a very old machine, 13 - 14 months old is all.	
----
			
I spent some time testing out my warrior rotation on some Dregs. Judging by the gurgles and decapitations, my rotation and build still seems to be working. Going to need to test in in pvp before I know just how good it is. My outfit has been done for more than a month so not much in the way of fiddling with the wardrobe for me. Vunnu on the other hand has been going through all of my dominion laundry on her Aurin and picking what she likes. 
 
With all the trading of clothes it has rekindled some of the implied romance between my mechari and her aurin back from the days that we would log in to find them both naked. Clarification for the new: There was a bug that would cause your characters to be randomly naked in the log in screen. 
 
On the pet front I have not found where the Torine pridelord comes from, but some jacknose put it on the AH for 200 plat. Yea they can choke on it, I'm not paying. I will keep this pet Aurin instead. 
 
She just wants 40 plat for dye. 	
----
			
Heh, could use that coffee to be honest :)
 
I've been engaging in some awesome roleplay over Tumblr laterly. Joined a small group of awesome people roleplaying with lago's from the Sam & Max universe.
So happy I've been invited with them, as the roleplay is intense and the story they have in mind sound epic. It even feels a bit like WildStar on some points.
After talking with them a bit more, I made some changes to my character I am using:
Still working on my drawing skills, as I'm not even remotely close to their level, but I'm seeing some improvements daily.
As say others :)
 
Yesterday in WildStar we organized our first cross-faction Roleplay event, where a a bunch of Dominion and Exiles worked together to join a mercenary company.
Although it was a bit chaotic and trial and error at the beginning, it turned out to be quite fun.
Definitely hoping we're going to be doing more of these events with the guild.
 
Tonight Datascape again.
Really hoping we can get the third boss down this time.	
----
			
I just sat in the corner all day yesterday, rocking myself for comfort like a patient in a straightjacket.
 
No forums all day. Y'all trying' to kill someone.
 
And the "thanks for your patience!" bit ... I wasn't patient! I was screaming at the monitor, blowing snot-bubbles in wild rage and ranting like a mad man.	
----
			
Ahh forum fix :-).  Got some help with the DSP portions of the project today so will be helping those efforts along, and probably digging back into the bus structure in the device.  Seems productive at least.
 
Wildstar was a raid night.  The contracts thing I think is a very good solo progression move and some perks along the way for everyone else.  I did get one of those "counts as 2" runes, so that will be good to work in one of these days (Logic Bomb).  
 
Spent an entertaining amount of time in Initialization Core Y-23 last night.  We didn't finish it, but I think we understand what's going on.  It's (at least for me) a lot of fun to diagnose a fight when there are few if any guides, strategies, videos and what not.  We left ourselves enough time to go bump off the Datascape minis so we did that.  Tonight I believe we're back into GA for farm night and see if we can't get that done by end of Monday.
 
This drop has been rougher than others on the bug front, but they seem to be getting dealt with in quick succession.  I think this was a very aggressive patch, adding a lot of things, so that's to be expected.  There's a lot of good in it though.  What's been more discouraging is finding the addons failing.  Virag appears to have abandoned his excellent projects (I use social and auto-coordinate) with one final "this fixes it for the API".  I'm missing my Runemaster as well, though I suspect that has more to do with some of the additional rune sets and the possibility of having runes that count for more than one in play.  Patient there, though I got a DPS chest out of DS minis that I might have to manually rune up (carefully, painstakingly...).
 
And I'm not really a huge pet fan, and I think I posted something to that many months ago... but...
 
well...
 
Best pet ever :-)

Heh,
 
i just have to share this  :
A drawing someone made of my roleplay character
 
 
It's so adorable :D
 
 
 
I've collected my first pet, and I already hate where I need to get my second pet.....
Malgrave trail of all places...............	
----
			
Drop 5 has been enjoyable so far, I've not really gotten to play much beyond going through al my characters and clearing up SOOOOO much inventory space.  I really want to try the new areas soon, but I have to focus on freelance stuff still which is nearing an end soon and I can relax. Hopefully if all goes well I'll be more in-game playing with guild and friends this weekend  as well as getting back into some wildstar art stuff again.
 
 also got 2 people back into Wildstar, will be leveling my slinger with one of them and doing some end-game stuff with he other. So looking forward to that as well...
 
Outside of Wildstar...NYCC tickets are gonna be up for grabs soon(think the 13th if i remember right) I don't' think I'll be getting a table this time around though and just going as an attendee. It's been awhile since I've done any cosplay wonder if my beastboy outfit still fits XD	
----
			
I actually did stuff yesterday in WildStar! :O It feels weird to be doing new content when I haven't even finished the old stuff (still just popular in CB/NW, barely into Defile, haven't touched the protogames, haven't even done all the vet dungeons and adventures XD), but... oh well. Hopefully I'll have more time after next week once my students take their finals and I'm FREE FOR THE SUMMER!
 
What do you mean I have to help my husband finish three novels? @.@
 
The SO and I ran around in Star-Comm Basin doing the dailies and contracts. That was fun! Then a good friend logged in - much to my surprise, as I was certain he'd quit WS for good - and we ran around some more doing contracts. Wee! Then I had to log off because apparently Skype hates WildStar. Whenever I have the game running, it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to talk in Skype - typing slows down to like one letter every 5-6 seconds. And I wanted to rp...
 
... Anyone have any idea how to fix that? :(

It's not only Skype.
Firefox becomes extremely slow as well.
I don't know what is the reason, but it seems to be using something that prevents things like Skype and Firefox from working properly,
----
			
Yeah... This was me yesterday at work... I needed the forums yesterday and they weren't here for me! :P
 
 
I've been chugging along on my Spellslinger this week. Will hit 50 soon™. I picked up a couple of pets, but went back to leveling. I'll get the pets when I cap out. I'm questing in Malgrave right now, which isnt as bad as I remembered it being. The landscape is a bit bland, but all in all it's been enjoyable. I've got to go hang out with Drusera again soon, but I'm not sure how I feel about doing those while on stream. It's such a big part of the story, I'd hate to ruin it for some folks. -_-

Drop 5 is great! I haven't been playing as much though as a I just moved into a new place where there is always something going on, usually involving bourbon/craft beers. Did DS minis and started on GA last night, that's always good. No ilvl 74 weapons from the mini's though. =( 
 
I would recommend ditching firefox and skype for raidcall (free VC) and Chrome at your earliest possible convenience. Firefox is so like 2008.

			hmmm maybe it has something to do with the way they implemented the read/write changes to the wildstar client? I didn't notice anything running either program, but I wasn't typing in skype and firefox wasn't being used much. I can try looking more into it when I get home see if I can figure something out to help you both. :)

Using skype for work calls, and Firefox for debugging websites.
maybe it's "2008", but in web dev you still need it.
----
			At the moment just these 2 programs.

I have noticed that tumblr is slow when making posts in it. But I dunno if that's Skype-related.
 
It seems to be affecting typing in Word as well. (I noticed this when trying to record the colors for that Simon game in Farside. It was very laggy!)
 
(also, you are awesome, Typrop xD)	
----
			I didnt notice any issues typing in skype last night while I was playing. I dont use firefox daily, but I will launch it tonight and see if I can reproduce the issue that yall are seeing as well. For Money! errrr Science...

{| class="blockquote"
Firefox is so much sexier anyway...it's....a foxy browser >_>
 
Have you or Naunet had issues with any other software or just those two?
 
Also is there a pet Moodie? My friend was asking,but I wasn't sure...

Morning peeps.
 
Haven't been able to do much content the last couple days.  Spent a bunch of time pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to resize and move the new mission tracker.  It's now called Objective something-or-other.  On the whole this drop is shaping up with some really nice QoL improvements.  I'm slowly but surely thinning out my Strategic Costume Reserves.
 
Contracts seem really neat.  I'm super in love with the rep promissory notes.  If I have a rep to grind I'm no longer constrained by that rep's mission set.  Now I can run as many Tier I's as I can tolerate and exchange them for the rep I'm working on.  I may actually cap R-12 for once.
 
Really want the Pell Probebot.  Not sure I want to grind STL for it though. :lol:

How am I just now learning about Loremageddon!

Good morning everyone!  This mornings has actually been really good so far(its afternoon now but whatever).  I managed to finish my attunement, and on the Vet KV run that finished it, i also won the weathered Eldan Gauntlets, So now i MUST see GA, because legendary gloves =O
 
Now im just goofing off doing some contracts for funs, debating on what race i want my warrior to be.  I have a strong urge to want to play a class that bashes things over the head with a giant weapon.  I have my 23 Granok warrior, but Im kinda feeling like making my warrior Dominion, being a draken.  But i just don't know.  Super indecisive.

It would rock if it had internal consistency with the game. As it is, it's just useless. 
 
Ingame lore Mechari only eat to fit in with organics. Loremageddon, mechari eat, sleep, and can get drunk. I will not even start on the white washing of lore when it comes to Aurin consorts, or all the female draken that hang around clan lords. Yea sure Loremageddon they aren't romantic interests, those are all just advisers....Not buying it for a moment.

Answers more clearly on the consort thing imo...
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I think one of the issues is the fact that before the Loremageddon, everyone just assumed that the system of matria + consorts was the default relationship for Aurin. Lormageddon talks about Aurin marriges, but I don't recall it saying matria didn't. So there was a confliction, this way makes more sense. 
 
I'm still not backing down on the absurdity of mechari getting drunk

----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I like to imagine that Mechari can get "drunk" in two ways...
1)They try to act drunk based on observations by triggering a set of programming to simulate the actions
2)They drink something SO chemically dangerous for normal consumption(we wouldnt regard it as alchohal at that point) that its strong enough to corrode their chasis in ways that affect their ability to properly move. In turn their core is trying to compensate and calculate ways to counteract it to a point that the resources used leave little for other processes like speech and irrelevant thoughts/conversations....
 
 
but thats jsut me...
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
They break food down into primal elements, it says.
So...I guess there is either a primal booze element...Or it's just hand wavium.
 
My mechari for the record is just eating to not anger Draken or Aurin Mamas. Food is love after all.  
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Primal booze would explain a lot with the Eldan....lol

Small crystals that we sell to stupid cassians. Mechari are so classy we crap diamonds.

So I just started getting runic bartering fragments. Any suggestions on what support rune sets I should pick up for my medic?

			Cool thanks!

I know nothing will probably come of this, but I figured t couldn't hurt to try asking. I submitted a ticket to see if they can change my warrior to a human because of the recent drop fixing their weapon size when sheathed. I know it's petty to some, but it's a pretty big thing for me...
 
If anything I hope they'll have the option later at least =(

			I hope that they would open race/class combos at the same time as race change tokens, so we can hit 2birds with 1stone
