My Take On Glitch So Far

Hey guys.
I was admitted as an alpha tester yesterday, and so far the game seems amazing. I can't wait to see the game expand and become as big and successful as WOW. It gets a little slow at times, but that may be the Alpha acting up.
I do have some helpful tips for the game creators that may help make Glitch a bit more of a success:
-more spaces for players to explore: when y'all open to the public, the individual areas will be immensely crowded.
-more skills to learn: I'm 1/4 of the way through all skills, and I think it would be great for long term players if you could learn more skills or even hidden skills
-morphing-Don't outrule it automatically, think about it!
-faster regen. time on the free XP, currant, mood things that float around
-functionable accessories-jetpack, winged shoes, stun guns, etc.
-real time clock- it was confusing for a bit to see it go from Theday to Fryday in a mere two hours.
-switch between minds of giants-once you gain enough favor, maybe you can go to live in a special residency in that giant's mind, where you'll be able to do all the things they like more often too, (eg: Live in Spriggan's mind and live on a big farm, or live in Friendly's mind and live in a graveyard)
-Pets-this may exist, but I'm not that far yet.
-slowdown mood and energy depletion, or make food much easier to obtain.
These are a few suggestions I had, please feel free to criticize, tell me what you like and what's crap. Thanks again for letting me test it, it's shaping well.

  • striatic will be happy to see someone else asking for jetpacks ;)

    Some things you asked for do exist, like 'pets', making food &currants easier to attain, etc. You will see as your level increases. Also, your energy is less depleted as your skills rise, so food is less necessary (or less often).

  • That's good, it seemed a little static but it's a good thing it gets better.
    What did you think of the mind melt/transfer thing? Does that also happen later on?

  • "morphing-Don't outrule it automatically, think about it!" — I am eager to think about this, but I don't know what it means!

  • Well the morphing thing was really a brain fart :P but perhaps some sort of wizardry skill allowing you to camoflauge or turn into an animal, and the disguise will allow you to get into places previously hidden or prohibited.

  • That's actually an interesting idea. A wolf in sheep's clothing type of skill. Gains you access through small "caves" that only a pig/chicken sized glitch could fit through. Possibly containing huge masses of pigs and chickens (20-30 per seam street).

  • A VERY helpful thing would be:seeing the individual player's (glitches) level and house info if you click on them.GOHEMI

  • Yeah, like a mini-profile where people can actually see where you live/what auctions you're offering, etc.

  • Morph into a piggy for a few minutes, and see how many players you can get to nibble you!

    Morph into a batterfly and poop on people!

    And you could still have your own identifier because they are already in place, e.g. "A piggy named Nossidge"

  • I think there need to be resting places, like in Paper Mario or Pokemon, where you can fully replenish mood and energy, especially in the early stages of the game, so that way you can heal faster and do more. There also need to be boosts to energy and mood that permanently raise the stat.
    Can the morph thing be a prankster ability where if you get nibbled while in the form of a pig you can steal something from the nibbling player?

  • if there is the prankster ability that nyarlophotehp suggested, I think that when you enter a street, the disguised pig should be listed as a person being there, either "A piggy named Nossidge is here." or like what we have now "Nossidge is here."  So there would be a way to detect pranksters, but it's not too easy, I think...
