Hi Tex! Good to see you again :) Bye Tex. Going to miss you :( ArcheAge is a required taste kind of game. My hubby plays and it bores me just watching him. I'm with your wife this week. All the new season shows are out, so I've been a couch potato and haven't played WS much. Good Morning Everyone! Had my usual eggs for breakfast, with coffee. Not much to report on WS. Logged in for a few minutes each day this weekend, but didn't stay on. Hope you all have a great day!

Well, if you're ever back, you are technically still a Chief in the Blazing Saddles and can have your pick of officer jobs, focusing on whatever you want. Please focus on whatever you want, I'm a crap party leader in this game! So, I'm assuming you all saw my thread yesterday about the Renaissance Festival and how blisteringly awesome that was! Put me in a mood for Wildstar on Sunday, and oh did we Wildstar! :D  Haven't had that much fun in months! First I dropped in and moved Donne forward a few levels (I think I'm 20, and if not I soon will be, so he's moving along at a quick clip). I transferred him all of Seeger's extra plat so that he can begin work on the Shadowcaster, so I should have the basics of that build soon-ish. I can't wait for Drop 3, when I'll have a LOT more room, a LOT more options, and a new centerpiece. For right now, working on proportions and setup for the aft- and fore-castles, laying out the roadway (for there shall be a roadway), figuring out what I'll do about the bar and inn at the center until we get the blank housing plug, and locating the eventual areas for the drop-pods, pilot's deck, engines, et al. I am going to start laying out the plugs as Donne gets higher in levels, so stay tuned. Also, I wrote the second draft of our RP backstory for member and potential-member perusal. Head over to our website (here if you haven't read our headline) and you can make any recommendations you'd like as far as inclusion, subtraction, or modification. Believe me, I take all feedback into account. I'm really excited about where this is going, though! Thedek's finally gotten his costume in order. I also did a purge of inactive members, which whittled a lot of names out of our system. I got rid of anyone who hadn't been on in one character in a month, and if you hadn't put up a note to call out your character, you may have been removed. If I removed your character by mistake and you would like to be reinstated, just let me know and I'll put you back in! This is also a good time, if you haven't already, to make sure your note calls out your main on all your alts. I will be performing a purge monthly and if you haven't been on at least one alt in that month, I will have to remove you. With the new megaservers coming and our character limits increasing to 12, we have to have room in the guild for incoming players from other servers and affiliated alts of our current players. Let me know if you'd like to join when you drop over! You're welcome to make any feedback you'd like, as a potential member, and I'll take it into account in these formative stages. Oh yeah, and we ran some content last night. Most of us were running for the first time in... ever. And this was my first time ever running as a tank. We ran Hycrest and STL, and let me tell you something. If you're bored in this game, you're not running content with the kind of guildies I've got! :D  Thanks to all who ran with me, putting up with my amateur tanking, especially Erayo (who acted as our de facto party leader since I didn't know a damn thing about tanking or the finer points, I'd only ever interrupted what they told me to interrupt and DPSed my way through vets before) and those who kept me alive. Special thanks to the random guy we pugged in for STL (I think his name was DrGoodbody). He kind of ninja'd a few purple decor items, but I wasn't going to complain considering both myself and the healer got punted behind some furniture, healer died, we blitzed Stormtalon's HP to like below 50%, and he ended up soloing through the last 25% to get us a silver medal. Normally, I figure PUG people drop group after things like that, since we wiped once early. But everyone was really patient with me learning my new rotation in a group setting and getting used to my new LAS. I'll tell you what, though, when things are going well and you're tanking, suddenly, you realize how good this game is. It's monumentally more difficult than tanking in WoW or any other game I've ever played, forcing you to watch not just what is happening beneath you, but also to make sure you don't jump out of range of the healer or aim telegraphs at the DPS, who are quite often standing near you. It's taking me a while to learn to watch the whole party, but when we clicked (and we got gold on Hycrest with the guildies alone) I felt like God! I laughed at everyone who spoke of other games and the difficulty of raiding. Wildstar's that addictive that it gives you a sense of real power and accomplishment. So thanks to the guild that massaged my God complex! :D This post has gone on long enough, even though I have more to say. Maybe I'll save it for later. Sorry I can't write as much on the forums, but let's face it, it's not really fun to be on here anymore. All it is in the threads is doom and gloom, people wondering about their own little personal concerns, sniping at the people who gave us this amazing game, downplaying all their work they put into it and all the progress they made to make us happy. All the fun is in-game, with my guildies, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, you guys are the absolute best! See you all on Nexus!

{| style="width: 100%;" Hi all! Wildstar was limited over the weekend due to RL commitments, but I am still gradually working on the Outfitter Adventus recipes, which means Scaarinen is finally building up a set of healing gear. I now have three of my Evindran alts up to 15+ so I can let them build up rested exp in their houses. Still have Warrior and Spellslinger to go! Still haven't managed to figure out how I'm going to handle the need for a two-word names. I was considering just putting "Warbringer" in front of all of them to keep it simple, since that server name should be uncommon on the PvE megaserver. It still doesn't seem to fit for the Exile characters, so I haven't settled on it.

Grats on 50! There are some introductory quests mixed in with the repeatable quests when you first get to Crimson Badlands. After you finish all of them the first time around, head back the next day and some of them will be repeatable.
 * drools over the ribs*

Sorry to hear that you didn't like AA. After I got over how pretty it was, it didn't appeal to me, either. I haven't played extensively, but Path of Exile seems pretty good. The character ability tree is like Wildstar's AMP system if it had been on steroids for a decade, and the overall game is similar to Diablo-style games.

Hooray for new medics! Just make him slot Mending Probes and Dual Shock as he's leveling up, and very basic healing will become second nature. Those two skills are enough to solo most of the group mobs, so if you're leveling together, it'll make it easy. Pacify is helpful at later levels, too.

Bye :(

Haha this sounds a little like me but less skill and epicness. Vanilla I was a hunter was a total scrub but had shining moments with my pet if the tank was killed, spent months getting FR gear went into MC had an awful time and quit. Went back in BC as a resto shaman and carried my Kara raids via stacked chain heals then quit again. Went back for WotLK as a DK tank and had so much fun with it I stuck that whole expansion out tanking all the way up to the LK with my pally tank RL friend.. Skipped Cata due to word of mouth from people who were in beta.. Then went back into MoP at patch 5.2 as a brew monk and didn't really get into it, I wanted to stick an ax in those pandas and join the mogu. Due to the skip of cata and not immersing in MoP I wasn't really looking forward to WoD anyways but that pally friend, before W* was released got us both the pre-order to rekindle those WotLK days and am quite hopeful those times will be rekindled here after he says in WoD "ok been there, done that."
