Anyone finding the wording on upgrades "vague"

I wrote this on "ideas" but really should have vented on "General" to see if it is only me who feels this way............. Am I the only one who is not clear what EXACTLY a particular upgrade does . I go to encyclopedia and it repeats the exact same wording dah if I am unclear in update I am still unclear after encyclopedia then I ask help and still do not have a clear idea what my IMG buys??? Would appreciate your feedback perhaps it is just me!!!

I am so frustrated. "Max Relax" - what does that mean - asked on Global - then Help and still have no idea what exactly it means (yes I know it has to do with meditation but what increase do I get, mood/energy/img/time what?????) ........... Enclyclopedia repeats the exact wording with no additional information ...........Please tell me upgrades have NOT become just a cash cow. Is it just me who feels TS "seems" to be pulling a fast one on us by being so vague and unclear as to what exactly you get for your hard earned IMG. I am so frustrated!! Phew..
PS Since this is "ideas" I apologize and must be constructive not just critical. TS I suggest you be much more specific on your description of what exactly an upgrade does even if only on encyclopedia. Thank you

  • Max relax is a random bonus you sometimes when you meditate. It gives you more of whatever you were meditating for (mood, energy, or both), and iMG. When you get it you'll see a rainbow appear around you. If you've learnt Meditative Arts III you should've seen it before - the quests you get upon learning that skill is a quest to get a max relax.

    PS............ I love your use of extra punctuations to accentuate your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think the majority of upgrade cards indicate how the game mechanics are altered, some are maybe a little obtuse but not all of them.

    I would enjoy having an easier time being able to tell which card Ive bought ties to which skills, so that I would know if I am getting max tree harvests, etc.

  • I too am very frustrated with an upgrade that I purchased today.  I love jumping and so when a card for 5000 currants appeared that would guarantee that my jumps would triple I bought it!  Went to try and ....nothing...nothing at all...no differences whatsoever.  Come on Stoot - what is up with this?  I love Glitch - again - but do not love feeling cheated. 

    Thanks for making sure every upgrade actually is an upgrade and not just a way to collect our iMG in exchange for not much at all!

  • Sand Dollar: while I do not dispute that some cards could be clearer, I'm not sure which ones you are referring to.

    There are three Triple Jump upgrades and none of them cost 5,000 iMG. Also, none of them "guarantee that your jumps would triple" — all of them seem pretty clear:

  • The only other upgrades relating to jumping as far as I know are the High Jumper I, II and III and they do affect the standard jump (as opposed to the triple jump which is jump, jump, JUMP) but again none of those are worth 5000 img either, unless some cards scale with level or follow some other formula.
