Random questing

Not so much random as in rather just charging about. I did get a lot of quests done in Blighthaven, but with me not knowing whether the ones I have left are group ones or not, I don't really want to risk doing anymore there.

Though I will admit, Drusera's tree is lovely when you aren't getting ripped apart by strain creatures. I especially liked the datacube from Drusera herself. It's a nice touch to know what she herself was thinking back when she had just been created.

Though I have to ask, what is with the weird cooking quest back in the nearby village? I mean i'm used to odd quests by now, but this was just really, really random. I mean i talk to a guy with a mark over his head and he wants me to get some steaks for him. Easy enough just kill some mobs. Then suddenly I have to cook them and there's this whole weird scene with judges talking about cooking. The whole thing just struck me as totally odd and rather rushed in there. Like they wanted some lighthearted quest here and this was the best they could come up with. Though why no voice acting? One of my biggest bugs with this game has been the lack of voice acting. Considering this cut away as sort of like a mini cutscene, it was bland to watch given that there was no voices.

All in all just very odd.

Oh and while filling in a gap on my map back in Malgrave, I'm running along when a meteor hits the ground before me and suddenly there are all of these fire monsters about. I'm quite impressed with myself that I took them all out. Especially the giant rock thing that was a elite monster with something like 150,000 hp and little Lyghtning totally smashed him. Very happy victory ^_^

Blighthaven Bugs

So Summer has finally arrived here in the UK and with it my computer is hating me every time I time I turn it on. Still I have been able to get back into things with regards to Wildstar. No last minute cosplays to play at the moment.

So, back to Blighthaven. I don't know whether this is an issue for other players (if it is please do comment and let me know) but Blighthaven seems to have it's fair share of bugs for me. I mean, again I don't know if it is just me, but the latter stages of the game seem to have far more bugs than the earlier stages did.

And they aren't like ground-breaking bugs, or bugs that make the game unplayable for me (like that Biolab in Grimvault did) but they are annoying.

The first one was to do with collecting essence from some floaty blue wisps near the start of Blighthaven (after the holo-deer quest but before Cankertube swamp) Now to do the quest you basically jump into said floating wisps, they explode into blue shiny fog, and then you've collected something. Now the other week I ran around this area for ages doing just that and not getting anywhere with the quest. Today I ran back and it worked first time.

Then I've had the issue where getting new quests isn't bringing up all of the text. See people are contacting me, I can see the options for clicking to accept the quest, but I don't actually have any words there.

This might not be so much of an issue, except that I'm also not being told when quests are group quests. Hence me accepting the quest from my home-girl Drusera to protect her tree and then getting my ass smashed several times over as I realised that this quest is likely a multi-person one. Like I said, it's not game-breaking, but it is annoying. Especially in the case where I have no idea how many people quests need. All other quest text is showing up fine from older quests or new quests that I missed in older areas. It just seems to be the ones in Blighthaven.

I got so much of an ass kicking here

Then I has this issue. Please note that this death scene greeted me when I first logged in. How can I have died before even entering the game???

I did actually have some fun with the quests, it wasn't all doom and gloom, but I'll post about those separately


later on this evening :)

Drusera Cosplay

So....my video post didn't happen. There is a reason for that. Mostly because I was having derp issues with Camstudio (i wanted pretty video clips) and secondly because on Friday afternoon I had something of a madcap idea and decided to roll with it.

See I was at the Manchester expo this weekend and on the Friday I thought, 'hmmm, why don't I cosplay as Drusera???' So i grabbed my sewing machine and made a costume that afternoon lol XD I do crazy things like that.

I had to slightly alter it to include a wig as I couldn't get the hood to completely obscure my head like hers does and my facepaint admittedly wasn't great. But as I said, I decided the Friday before to do it.

Know the best part though??? Being Drusera was awesome. I mean I was cosplaying a god. And a damned badass one at that :D Plus people recognised me. Even if I did have to close my eyes for every photo, people recognised me. It made me so freaking happy. And those that didn't but wanted a pic anyway, were awesome because when they asked who I was I got to gush about how awesome a character Drusera is and how brilliant Wildstar is as a game.

I'm not going to lie, I love fangirling about characters I love and I love Drusera. I think for my next project I might have to cosplay as Lyghtning....but which of her costumes to do lol.

And I'm back :D

Hiatus over. I'm back :D

Not really a post post per se, more along the lines of a I'm here and haven't fallen from the face of the earth. Though I'll admit I haven't played much Wildstar since returning from France. Mostly due to work commitments going on after my usual hours and being oh so sleepy from my week away lol.

But regular posting will commence again this weekend :) Maybe even tomorrow....might even try and do a video entry lol. Now that will be interesting lol.

Week Hiatus

Hey guys, just to update you all that I shall be away till Friday so no new updates to the site until then :)

Gate Crashing Thayd!

I know, I know, I'm a Dommie so what the heck was I doing in Thayd?

The answer to that is, quite simply, while running round Blighthaven, I happened to notice my guild chat asking if anyone wanted to join them on a mission. After realising that my guild (or members of) had managed to get into Thayd and not be killed instantly by the guards, I decided to join them. What then followed was a crazy, mad run through Thayd and, when we died through Galeras, taking part in PvP battles and general silliness. Seriously, not sure what I'd think if a group of about ten Exiles ran into the centre of Illium and started dancing, yet that is what we ended up doing in Thayd. Gotta admit it was a while mess of crazy fun XD Also, Illium > Thayd any day of the week XD

Had a fun charge around Blighthaven too. Only just started in this area, but I'm thankful there's new content already. I can see the dailies becoming very boring very quickly lol.

I did rather enjoy the quest where I got to be a holographic deer complete with hoof sounding deer noises (simple things). Not to mention said holographic deer was called Lightning. It was clearly meant to be XD I also found out that once in the holographic deer form, you could actually go quite far as it. Always more fun to run round as a deer rather than yourself XD

That's pretty much all I did today. Pratting around in Thayd took up a good portion of the day. Totally worth it though. I'm all up for random craziness like that :D

Blighthaven

I found it ^_^
