Pet Peeves

So I thought we could all use a place to vent about some of the things that rub us the wrong way while playing the game, not so much features and development issues but all the little things that always come up when lots of people interact with each other.  So I'll start with my two currants' worth (*deep breath*): The incessant leapers.
There you are, walking down the street minding your own when suddenly someone goes sailing over your head.  Three seconds later, there they are, heading back the other way.  Or you're trying to water a tree, and instead end up inviting someone you don't know to a party you're not having.  It can be unnerving.  Yes, I know there are achievements for leaping, but please--exuberance is all well and good, but try to keep it within *bounds*. ;-)

  • 1: Players who think that killing your tree is perfectly ok, but you killing theirs makes you a griefer.
        Always female characters who do this of course, and they tend to form gangs against me

    2: Players who think they own the right to plant a particular tree in a particular area uncontested.
     The game is open to all and you can treat any area any way you want, within game constraints

    3: Players who say bean trees are everywhere and wood aren't when I am replanting a bean tree.
      Wood trees would be everywhere if you went out and planted them :) same as all other trees

  • When mining, or scraping, there are a few spots where, once you start mining, your glitch then wanders sideways to get in position and randomly falls off a platform or walkway but carries on working, with the pick or scraper 20 feet above you. Other times, in exactly the same position it works fine.  Most embarrassing if working with others.

  • Jumpings crap because it's undignified and I'm not very good at it...fair enough?
    It should cost 10 energy units per jump, that would stop those boingy boingy types!

  • Oh nobbinobody - I agree with that one. I have fallen off many a ledge when I was harvesting, petting or whatever. It makes me feel as though my Glitch is as clumsy as I am in RL!

    Also, when I am trying to jump up on a rock and I keep missing. Everyone just wizzes past me onto the top and I keep falling off.

  • People being annoyed with others' jumping; don't really see the cause for concern, nor how it affects you, unless they're jumping back and forth over your head- and that can be easily solved by, erm, moving a little bit.

  • my pet peeve is people who don't use the off-topic forum when posting topics like this...

  • well, it isn't entirely off-topic, it is about Glitch after all.
    I'm amazed to find that so many of my peeves have already been mentioned. In fact I'm almost peeved!
    nah - game play first, think up peeves later.....

  • A Glitch's work is never done! This little Glitch lives paycheck to paycheck. Always gathering for the next big shrine donation. Not enough hours in the day...

  • Ppl who go through my neighborhood and kill all five trees and plant them with either wood or bean.  Only one kind of tree.  There's a special hell for monomaniacs, I'm sure.

  • There are a lot of little things that annoy me, but I think my one big pet peeve is when people call me Zoel.

    :|

    I am Zoei.

    iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

    WITH AN i, not an L. 

    Zoel sounds like a boyish name D: It reminds me of the name of a pokemon or something. And it annoys me when people call me that, even though I know it's difficult because i and l look similar. I'm a woman, dangit! Zoei! Sounds like Zoey/Zoe! If you need to, call me Zo or Z!

    Just, gah, it bothers me XD I actually tried to change my name to Zoe so people would stop calling me Zoel, but Zoe was taken... so I just have to keep correcting people. D:

  • I love teh bouncies! Wish I could get around that way in RL. 

    I wouldn't miss splanking if it disappeared.

  • ZOEL is a girls name as far as I'm concerned.

    another Pet peeve is why do girls always gang up on one person, and then act like that person is the bad guy and they are the nice people, when they are all actually bullies and need a slap.

  • @Berry Goode: Really, most of all, it annoys me to think that someone might be annoyed by a glitches not always stringent, rational and concentrated behaviour in this GAME(!). G - A - M - E! I play a computer game to get rid of the eternal efficiency imperative of RL for some time! 

    Let me explain that a little closer, because you don't seem to know what could be meant by that. Sometimes I just bounce. Really! Very likely I bounce without any reason - perhaps first in one direction, then immediately back to where I came from: YAY! A sweet little character in a cute and lovely world between beautifully couloured trees and meadows! 
    But please be aware, that there are times, that this seesaw even might have a reason, for example I forgot to look which vendor there was, or sometimes - believe it or not, Berry Goode - I overjump and this way overlook the shrine I wanted to approach, or - also quite often - I rethink that I now do want to pet&water the tree I just harvested. So... 

    Please let us jump in one direction! And please also let us jump in the other direction without being annoyed!

  • @Kuki Believe me, I am not trying to make you do or not do anything you want.  All this thread is for (or all I meant it to be) was a forum for people to blow off a little steam in a friendly and harmless manner.  Did it work?

  • @Zoei--I think the mistakes about your name have to do with the font and size of text in the game. I know I have a hard time distinguishing i and l sometimes. Not to mention that you could always be spelling your name with an uppercase I ("eye") rather than a lowercase l ("ell"). It really is hard to tell, especially with the faded text in local chat.

  • PS @kuki check your doorstep--I hope you can make good use of what's there (if it still is).

  • Here's a pet peeve I find myself growing increasingly annoyed over- ffs, can people please use the search bar at the left of the forum screen to poke around, perhaps see if an issue has been brought up before, instead of jumping headlong into posting the 30th thread on the same topic? Please? It's really damn easy to use, and the words you search for are even highlighted! Amazing, this newfangled technology. And no, I don't think being new is an excuse- pretty well every other forum in these interconnected series of tubes has the exact same functionality, and the people in those forums will tell you the exact same thing. Why's this forum any different?

  • I was sad about the splanking. I mean, it could have been so fun right? Smack, straight to the butt- maybe a lil leap of surprise from the recipient, or a squeal perhaps? Then I asked my mate to splank me and, well, it was kinda dull. Now when we see each other, we just leap around a bit.
