I don't understand why there needs to be a pop-up about needing a tithe. The icons are the coolest looking objects in the game, but they are a visual blight in my living room because of the incessant warnings about needing currants.

The icon menus are quite clear about how the system works, when a tithe is due, every other option is greyed out, with red text explaining that a tithe is due to become operational. Anyone that has an icon for more than a few minutes understands the concept, and knows how they work.

I've talked to a lot of people that are annoyed by it, some even said they might just keep them in a bag so they don't have to see these messages. It just seems like such a worthless message overall, and it ruins the cosmetic effects of the most interesting looking objects in the game.

I just don't get it.

  • I'm in complete agreement here. It doesn't give any information you won't have anyway. Just detracts

  • I understand why if you never tithe how you might want the option to dismiss that message *for you*, but I use the pop-up and don't want it to be removed permanently.

    I use the R/R/R on my icons every time I play and enjoy the random Giant Love that I sometimes get when walking by my lineup of icons.  It would be a pain in the butt for me to have to constantly check all 11 of my icons to find out which need tithing.  The current announcement saves me a lot of time by letting me know which of my icons need tending.

  • I think it would be better if the message just appear once when you go past (maybe once a day) and don't come up again every time you pass them. One time is enough for me to remember at least and the constant message every time you get near them gets annoying fast -_-

  • I often have multiple come up greedy at once and need to run by more than once to catch which ones are whining for tithing. Like I said, I think it's a personal preference and hope that any changes would allow each Glitch to choose whether they want to see the message.

  • Perhaps the visible reminder system could be toggled on or off.

  • Exactly what I was trying to say.

    Alternate suggestion: a more ambient tithing signal. What if the icons had a faint glow while hungry?
