Things that went poorly

I'm tempted to chalk it up to whingeing, and tell myself to get over it, but there were a few things that didn't quite happen for me this test that confuse me a little bit.
-didn't get anything for starting my first skill
-didn't get anything for buying my first Bigger Bag
-auctions were extremely slow for me for the first two days ("slow" as in, it took me about two hours to get papers I bought on auction, and I only got the first one I bought after getting annoyed and buying another).
-didn't get the Gem Collector trophy, despite having gotten all the gems (even handled shakha's moonstone when one wasn't forth-coming, but eventually got one of my own).
and just for icing, couldn't really get the pickle to do anything aside from throw my stuff all over (all but 2 times I used it).

On the plus side, I incited a full-on Rook attack on the subway, leveled up more quickly than my first time, and got the house I'd been scoping since the end of last test :)

I'm wondering if anybody else had problems with basic, automatic functions like the above.

  • I felt vaguely discombobulated this time. Moreso than the first time I started. I can't say as there was anything specific that I can put my finger on like you, Djabriil, but I'd forgotten what it was like to run out of energy so quickly. Last time, I seemed better-able to keep a supply of meats on hand to feed myself while I explored; this time, I was always low, for some reason.

    Maybe my having specific goals this time (getting a big bag, getting a little house) threw me off my game.

    +1 to not being on that subway when the Rook attack happened!!!

  • I was too surprised to even think of getting a screencap, unfortunately- I tried to recreate it, but so far to no avail.
    The reason that so many things stuck out to me this time was that I was starting with Irie, so when she got currants for a Bigger Bag and I didn't, for instance, it was more apparent. For all I know, I didn't get a bunch of stuff last time that I should've, because I didn't have anybody else to compare notes with.

  • I just had tons of problems with lag. The other things didn't really bother me. The lag really was a killer today. Reloaded so many times, it was driving me ever so slightly insane(r) o_o

  • Maybe the Giants just like me more than they like Djabriil :)  Maybe I'm prettier or maybe I smell better (look at him... he looks like he came from a bog LOL)  Just kidding honey, you know I love ya (that was for Djabriil, not my other honeys).

  • Oo, you know, you're right -- I got achievements the first time that I didn't get this time (the bigger bag among them).  Might not be a bug, they might just be discontinued.

  • I'm betting on bug since I got them this time.  It was weird sitting right next to Djabriil and I'd get a bonus for buying my first bigger bag and he wouldn't.  I still think he should have reported it.
