Talk about it here. Surprised no one has gone created this already :)
Pics if you have them. I was outside the door handing out keys and giving directions so I missed most of it.
We need a Key Team next time there's a party there, so everyone can take turns handing out keys and playing.
I had the longest conga EVAR, I think you saw it, Fokian... but it means I don't have pics, since pilots really shouldn't be using their cameras whilst driving. I'm sure we'll get some, there were lots of photographers present!
Food lots of floaty food .. and drugs OMG the Purple Flowers and no-no were aplenty. Congas, the ball, trying to wake up people who had the ball stuck to them, figuring out where stuff floated ... splanking greedy food snatchers. Animals being released and getting miserable, then rescued lol
It was fun, only my second EOW party and I was happy to be in a position to drop lots this time rather than take.
Lol. Thats what i was thinking Ix...I stood there for 10 minutes of barely paying attention last test and got 41 of them.....I cant believe the Eotw party was in plexus again though....thats sooo last test. :p
Eta: wish i could have given them to you Fok. :( u should have fun at your own party!
Yes the key respawns often there, but for new players this is a problem. Plus it's quite a distance and a lot of platform hops to it. I not only handed out keys, but explained the use of them, gave directions to the site, and if I had been able I'd have done teleports too. @Murri sent me multiple copies of teleport scripts which I handed out on my way to the site as well.
Someone even created a mini-party outside the door for me and the other greeters. Shortly before the party end someone took it all :( I was in the middle of giving directions and missed who was doing it.
I also helped with a couple of digging quests.
What I did was courtesy, not a necessity
My first EotW party and although laggy was very fun. I didn't make it to the ending because I overdosed on no-no. So while the test is offline I'm stuck in hell. :(
That guy eventually flounced, Cerulean. Sat around griping about how there's nothing to make, that we've all got no lives, and that he was leaving. No, really, he's leaving. Did he mention that he was leaving?
From what I saw, nobody was giving him a hard time about anything other than "Dude, we asked you to stop picking ALL the goodies up. What do you mean you didn't understand that we meant you might wanna stop picking up all the goodies?"
Not really sure what he wanted, but it apparently just wasn't happening. I don't know if I'm sorry he left before he could see how awesome the game really is (but if you don't like it by level 22, I dunno), or if I'm glad he took off because he was a poop. (I didn't go PBBBBBTH at him until he was gone, though.)
Idk about dev involvement, but the griefer in question put all the stuff back and told us we were wasting time by playing Glitch, wished us well and left :P
I did wonder if that guy would go to a party in real life, hoover up all the chips and dips and then proceed to tell the host and guests they need a life. lol.
To his credit he did eventually put the stuff back after MUCH public harranguing.
Ah well, always a party pooper
isglitchopenGlitch, The Game Now we are done this test. The next one will last for a full week and begin on or around Aug 11th. Enjoy a little break! 1 hour ago
Thanks all for a fab paaarrrrrty! (Emphasis on the arrrrr :p) Hope everyone that followed from Gregarious Grange arrived in one piece (went back to check after cool down). My apologies, if not. *inserts rain cheque for next test*.
I put a bunch of TP scripts to the party up on auction for cheap, and a few stinkers bought way more than they needed. (You know who you are!) I can only hope they were getting extras to share with others.
I know we probably cant out griefers in the forums but this is silly. The game is in beta and they were invited to play a beta. Why on earth would you grief a test? Once the game goes live, i can only imagine....is there a way to list them somewhere for the community manager to take care of or are the devs handling it directly?
Awesome End of the World party - thanks to the organisers [+ fellow party-goers!] :) and also for the opportunity to fly JennyAir; simply outstanding!! :D
@Fokian: I think she popped in for a moment, but she looked AFK for most of the time she was there.
@alfa: Thanks for sharing the pics! Nice 'round' shots, lol...I need to set up something for regular JennyAir flights. With cocktails! There must be cocktails!
I think we got up to about 115 Glitchen, at final count...?
First time I made it to an EotW (EoT?) party. OH MY GOSH. Amazing, yo. I had trouble getting my food to stay in one place once I dropped it in mid-air but aside from that, really awesome to get to interact with and meet new friends. Thanks so much for the photos and the videos everyone! I'm going to try to do the same next test and start documenting the beta especially since word is that there's going to be lots of new stuff for the week-long test.
Also, in case you haven't done it, try eating purple flowers in Plexus. It will blow your mind.
Loved the purple. Got one flower from one of the devs as a thank you for door-duty and certainly livened up that little job (I was there for about 2-3 hours).
There's the screen shots I took. I haven't looked too close at them- they're pretty random!
It was lots of fun! This was my first party. I helped set up, then helped publicly shame the griefer, conga lined on JennyAir for a while, and was finally convinced to try no no.
I love all the pictures, I'm going to have to try and take some next party. Plexus is a great p arty room just hard to see everyone at once, any one have ideas for a party room? I would love to be able to see everyone at once with out us all squezzed together (sorry no spell check here). Thanks for helping me with a quest while on door duty @Fokian Fool. :)
The only thing I kept dropping for everybody was spinach and I didn't see the griever pick any up but everybody else sure enjoyed it.
