I also can't log. But I have no strawberries for you, only tears. ;_; Yesterday I realized that my computer was running like garbage, and I was really tired of my bulky, unresponsive wireless keyboard, so I held my breath and reinstalled Windows. Then I went out and bought this Razer Deathstalker keyboard. It's not actually as cool looking as it sounds, but it's 2lbs and the keys are chiclet-sized. Oh, and the letters glow green. That's a neat change from my Logitech, which, well... most of the letters were wearing away from the billion keystrokes per day I output. :p Anyway, that led to a decision: Do I reinstall Wildstar? After seeing the recent PTR offerings I felt pretty let-down and decided to let my sub expire. 90 iterations of skate park building blocks, and a bunch of reskinned stuff we got last drop, plus the two coolest items are gated behind Popular with Starcomm (a move that really bothers me— I absolutely do not want to see the top decor being locked to a reputation grind). SO. Now I have a question for you folks. Am I overreacting? I mean, obviously whether or not we keep playing is our own choice. But am I the only one who feels that the next patch is (currently) a disappointment for builders? I want to continue playing but the PTR aftertaste is just so bad. On the flipside, Thaydfest's housing contest showed off some fantastic plots, and enthusiasm the likes of which I haven't seen on Dominion side much lately. That, and the apparent fix to plot entry lag spikes/falling through ground, have made me want to give the game another chance. Maybe I should make a thread in the Housing forum and poke Lamenth about the possibility of more decor being added to D5 before launch. Hm... As to alts, I leveled Uta Gaus to 14th last week to get ready for a new nature-based plot. I like the changes made at low levels and would consider bringing her up higher to get some of the gated decor. But I'd really like to see more alt-friendly QOL changes before trying to get another level 50.

{| style="width: 100%;" Good morning! Hope you're al well and in good spirits! I'm unfortunately back at work now form long vacation grrr However I had a great time watching Thaydfest and especially fashion show. I've started on working on the prizes for the winners and they're turning out pretty good. I've also begun work on illustrations of Wildstars dungeons beginning with my favourite.

On days like that, just best to kick back ,relax and just let the river take ya

They may get it, but we're not talking about something they could even include in six months and then directly test. Maybe if they were just giving us the ability to faction switch, but I don't know if that will solve the problem. Anything else, that's going to be a nightmare to code.

Hey, maybe we can get you to draw a group picture of our Saddles? How much would it cost?

Oli hand me that bomb. See "To be honest, I'm also not sure how much it would actually help faction imbalance if it does work" would have sufficed. Instead you buried it under a lot of stuff that you only think might be true. I think being able to ask your friends to help with something is of great use, the fact you disagree makes little sense to me.

I have no problem at all dealing with mordesh that are secretly mechari. Today is just one of those days that I feel like

And so I would prefer raw data on the best course to fix something that I perceive as an issue. Compounding my frustration is because of my lack of data, all of my rebuttals are also only opinion based. Despite the fact that mechari don't have ears, I stand by my statement from the dominion thread. I want to hear ideas. I care deeply for this game and the people playing it.

I'd love to help foster the community in any way I can--but the amount of time and work that goes into ThaydFest before it even happens (3+ months worth) is not something that could be tackled by the same people for both factions without burning out a good chunk of the community. In the interim, I suggest Dominion host and advertise smaller events--costume contests, a race, a lore trivia contest in Illium, etc. I'd be willing to attend/help out for smaller one-shot events on my Dominion toon. I do agree that we can help with community building, but at the same time, Dominion need to have some sort of drive to continue such things after folks help out. ;)
