Small annoyances, fixes, requests, questions/comments

I know the Ideas Forum is generally used for suggestions of new content or big changes, but I just have a few small things I wanted to comment on for possible changes :)

* Silvertongue and Yellow Crumb both stack much higher than the other herbs. The small herb stacks make it very difficult to garden multiple herbs without carrying two or three bags dedicated to it - especially when making potions and essences, particularly Purple Essence (five STACKS of purple flowers + two empty slots for sauces if you don't make the Tangy Sauce beforehand + your tincturing kit + hooch = almost an entire bag devoted to one vial of essence)

* I don't know what to call this, but the motion of moving to the side to carry out an action - when scooping a jellisac, scraping a barnacle, or almost any other action, the Glitch will move to the side to make the action icon visible. I am of the opinion that this motion serves no purpose except to make harvesting more cumbersome. If the motion is absolutely necessary to the devs' concept of Glitchy actions, I would love a mechanic to keep us from being forced off tiny ledges. I've had to climb the same tower five or six times to scrape barnacles, which is inconvenient - but even worse is climbing perilous rickety staircases to go after a swarm of fireflies, only to open your jar and be thrown off the ledge, canceling the action (barnacles jellisacs, etc will finish being grabbed, but falling off a ledge away from the fireflies causes your jar to be closed prematurely - losing you your time, your energy, and your fireflies).

* With the growth of Glitch, the Ancestral Lands have grown much less profitable. This may be intentional, but if it isn't, I'd like to see either an extension of the Nostalgia counter or a shorter dust-trap respawn. I've taken several recent trips to the Ancestral Lands and knocked over a maximum of ten dust traps, when I used to be able to fill multiple bags with the amount of loot i'd be picking up. Not just the loot is at stake here, but I'm finding it incredibly frustrating to hit my final dust-trap badge, and I'm sure others are as well.

These are just a few minor things that bother me, not anything that I consider a bug, merely things I'd think of as flaws that I'd like to see fixed. I love Glitch a lot and would still love playing even if every action in the game grated on my nerves. :P

  • I also dislike the moving to the side thing. It always messes me up when trying to harvest trees that are next to each other. I wish I could stay in the one spot that only has one tree available, so I don't have to guess which tree is the one I want when I'm feeling lazy.

  • Lol, I actually enjoy the challenge the firefly fall presents. But I understand why others would hate it.

  • You do have to think about what direction you are facing when you scrape, but that is not that big of a deal.  The ancestral lands are another.  If you are hitting 10 dust traps, you are doing well, as far as I can tell.  I used to be able to completely refresh my mood at least, and now I can't even replace the energy it takes to teleport there.  I'm not too happy about the removal of animals in there, either.  It used to be you could max your energy, sing to a few butterflies, then max your energy again.  Now that you can't even max your energy, maybe that isn't a way to play any more, but removing the butterflies has taken a lot of the fun out of the AL for me.

  • I too find the AL much less enjoyable. It's the only time in game that I dread seeing another glitch. It always feels so cleared out.

  • For real, all of this.
    Especially the Ancestral Lands.
    And falling off ledges while mining or collecting fireflies.
    And just.. yeah.. all of it.  :: nods nods ::
    I give this thread a ... +1 MILLION.
