  1. For me, it's too close to call between Fiddler and Trull, but everyone else you listed would be a close second. Tehol and Bugg had me laughing out loud on a regular basis. I'm also partial to Dancer and Hood. Thanks to both of you! I should be around the next few nights and through the weekend trying to get my gear in decent shape.
  2. A fellow Malazan reader and a Karsa name drop in your first reply!? You're off to a strong start in my book (pun not intended). I wanted to pop-in and say hello. If you're looking for some company as you get established on Stormreaver let me know. I'm recently returning from a 3-year WoW hiatus and as slowly working my way through the BFA content. With regards to questions (since we're on the topic), whose your favorite character from the Malazan series not named Karsa?
  3. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! 1. My personal favorite are Nike Frees. They're not the best running shoe out there, but I mix in a lot of crossfit/circuit type work outs and they're a good all around shoe. A lot of my friends run in Brooks. 2. I'm currently in the military and have a degree in International Relations. I get to play in the dirt a lot, just with different goals. I'll transition out at the end of the year and am looking to go back to school for a MBA. I'd probably make an exception for a beer like that. It sounds delicious. I'm currently on a Stout/IPA kick myself with my current favorite being Rogue Chocolate Stout. Like I mentioned I was an International Relations major, but I actually took quite a few econ classes. The best/worst was probably Game Theory. It was really interesting but I still have nightmares about it. Talk about a misleading course title. Depending on how long you'll be there, Sweetwater does tours every Thursday, Friday and Saturday (or at least they used to 2 years ago). For $20 you get a tour, a pint class and 5 sample tickets. They give you about 3/4 of the pint glass with each ticket. Pretty good way to spend a night, but it gets crowded fast. Ha, not but I wish sometimes. I spent way too much time pretending I was in the most recent Assassin's Creed. Welcome message reviewed and understood. I'm relatively new to TC having just transferred there about 6 months ago. Prior to that I was on Isle of Janthir.
  4. 1. Scout. She's a mutt but mostly American Bulldog 2. I'll use a Wildstar example. I had just hit level 15 on my stalker in the Beta and jumped right in to the first dominion adventure as a tank. Earlier that day I had completed the Exile Adventure on my Engineer so I was pretty confident it wouldn't be too difficult. From the first pull on, no matter what I did I could not hold threat. I tried changing my abilities, taunting on cooldown, asking the group to give me some time to build threat before they attacked; nothing worked. We eventually makes it through the adventure, but only after several wipes. I pride myself on being a halfway decent tank so by the time we're done, I'm pissed. I go back through all the stalker's abilities and finally realize that the stalker has 3 different class stances, one for assault support and utility. I had run the entire adventure in assault stance and not the support one which increased threat by 200%.... 1. No, I wouldn't say I'm much of a beer snob. The only thing that kind of turns me off are overly fruity beers. I don't mind a hint of something, but when it tastes like its 50% fruit, 40% percent sugar and 10% beer I'm not a huge fan. I lived in Georgia for a little while and miss the Sweetwater beers. It's a small brewery outside of Atlanta. 2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I beat plenty of games before it, but that was the first game where I spent months collecting and completing all the side objectives. 3. Costa Rica. I did a report on its political history in college and I've wanted to visit it ever since. 4. Definitely the show Lost. I watched every episode the first night they aired (almost all...I only missed 2 shows in six seasons), but never went back to re-watched any of them. I enjoyed it, but the story was never fresh in my mind and I felt like I was always missing something. I'd love to wipe it all from my mind and then watch all six seasons back to back in one binge marathon.
  5. Hello South of Heaven! As the Wildstar Open Beta drew to a close, I realized two things: 1. That I really wanted to play more Wildstar 2. I would have much more fun if I found a good group of people to enjoy it with. Since then I've been on the hunt for a guild and stumbled upon one of your recruitment messages the other day. After a few days of stalking...I mean exploring the website, I think this might be a great place for me to hang my hat. About Me: I'm 28, work full time and live just north of Austin, Texas. My real name is Rob and I'm married, don't have any kids yet, but I have a dog that my wife and I treat like kid. Outside of work and games I like to travel, workout and run (sometimes even as long as a half marathon), read, watch TV with my wife and try different types of beer. I'm also an avid New York Giants fan who lives behind enemy lines. Gaming History: My Aunt bought me a Nintendo when I was three and haven't put down the controller since. My favorite genres are MMOs and FPS, but I'll play anything as long as I'm having fun. I got into MMOs in 2005 with Wow and played on and off until 2011. I raided as a prot warrior in BC and as a prot paladin and bear druid during WOTLK . I also have raid experience as melee DPS (fury warrior and enhance Shaman). After WoW, I started playing GW2 at launch and still play WvW several times a week on Tarnished Coast as a Guardian. I've also dabbled in SWOTR, Rift, NWO, ESO and FFXIV, but never for a significant amount of time. I enjoy raiding, but my favorite parts of MMOs are tanking dungeons and team oriented PvP. Why Wildstar: I really enjoy WvW in GW2, but I don't really find the PVE side of the house fulfilling anymore. I'm looking forward to leveling a few of the tanking classes and getting lost in veteran dungeons, adventures and raids. I'm also very interested in Warplots and PVP. I'll be leveling either a engineer or stalker at launch. Why South of Heaven: I love games; they're my favorite past time. I just don't have the time to devote to them like I used to and my family and my career come first. Reading your recruitment messages and browsing the website, it seems that you all understand where I'm coming from and have developed a community of like minded individuals. You also have goals, a vision and make the most of the time you do spend gaming with a proven track record. Oh, your raid times work with my schedule so that's a plus. And you like smashing the other faction which is cool. So that about wraps it up. Thanks for your time and bring on the questions! -Avenge
