Extra Bonus Thursday: Wine of the Dead

OK, last new thing this week (probably)!

If you've placed some things in your yard that you'd like to remove, there's now a way to do that. You'll just need to get someone to mourn your death to get started...

  • @Kalli, for future reference, you can join a mass die in, binge on no-no, and collect multiple tickets without cashing them in. Then, when you feel like it's worth the trek, go visit the Hell Bar to pick up many many many bottles of wine at once.

  • @Aleph. Fantastic tip, thank you so much! Do you know the answer by any chance to my other question, should it have actually removed by herb garden completely and is it just a bug maybe that it didn't?

  • As with others - I do hope that there will be another mechanism for removing/moving items we place in our streets/yards.  This task would very quickly become intensely tedious if I had to do it everytime I wanted to move a garden six inches to the right.

  • @Kalli, I just gave it a try. When I got "project available" and clicked on the mangled remains of the herb garden, I got the options of "remove" or "restore." I chose "remove," confirmed, and now it's gone.

  • You see I get project available, then i get the earth and the guano, it says completed and gives me no mangled herb garden to remove or restore, that's good to know it's obviously just bugging for me so. Not as frustrated knowing that. Thanks Aleph!

  • Worked out what I was doing wrong, I am officially brain dead, but finally my herb garden is gone!!

  • Yea, this whole process kinda stinks for those of us that have OCD and are trying NOT to die...oh, well...it is what it is - guess we have to rely on the auctions, and a few people not being scalpers...

    I'm with the person that said things shouldn't be too easy or convenient (since I think aspects of the game have been 'dumbed down' a bit - ex. getting rid of the rook egg quest)...but can't there be an alternate way for those of us that choose not to die?  Give us the "Microsoft" options where we can at least accomplish stuff in 15 different ways...can we hop on one foot 20 times, while holding our tongue out on the left side of our mouth, while waving our hands in the air like we don't care to get rid of some our cultivating mistakes?  Oh, wait...don't have that many options for our glitches to do...okay, then, just send us Mart to personally move our stuff... ;)

  • I have a feeling this wine gathering is only popular now because it is new.  Once it actually costs us something to Cultivate items, we might not be so eager to immediately flush it down to 0%.  I for one don't think I'll use too much WotD once Imagination is in place and housing reset hits.

  • Wolfette, you'll never get the death badges if you don't die.

  • I love the hell wine. Killing myself multiple times a day is even more fun now!

  • Mourn = white flowers, celebrate = red flowers! Same effect on the dead. So let's celebrate instead of mourn and let's color the streets red :)

  • How many tickets will it take to buy the apocalypse? 1009?

  • The bar tender keeps taunting me with my inability to get on his stool, one day I'm going down there and waiting out the pooped time to see if I can actually sit on one of those stools. Loving the wine, it gives me a good reason to go for the death achievements.
    Posted 8 months ago by jiva Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Jiva, if you drink the wine you'll be able to get on the stool...
    Posted 8 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah but I want to save it... :) maybe I'll collect a few first.
    Posted 8 months ago by jiva Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So - if you die while you're pooped (drinking wine immediately after you come back from naraka) does it still count towards the achievements?  With no-no, you have to not be pooped to take more, so you have to eat a little something in between.  It appears if you start pooped and die, you stay pooped, so I wanted to make sure it counts towards achievements.

  • Maybe people who don't want to die but still want to do this could die once for the quest and wine and have that not count in their mental tally of deaths?

  • See, there's just something dark and awesome about paying someone to die and collect some wine for you, because you are above taking the plunge yourself for some reason.

    I think what the wine does and represents is beautifully crafted and perfect.  And messing that up for someone who already sacrifices a chunk of game play to eschew something that... well, death is weird, isn't it.  Even when it is just a game.

    Even so, I feel like there's a point where compromise ruins the art, and the discomfort of a certain aspect of play makes the game more rich and interesting, and can lead to better interplayer dynamics.

  • OK, even more specifically - if I am super pooped and drink wine and die, does it count towards badges?
    Posted 8 months ago by PTB3 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just asked that in another forum :) sure hope it does!

  • me too!!! it will make dracula a little easier to manage.
    Posted 8 months ago by PTB3 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Definitely!

  • I sniffed no-no I died I got the quest ..I drank the wine....I came back to life..( eventually ) do I now have to keep dying, collect tickets...talk to bartender,  but not drink the wine in order to pour it on my unwanted wotevas?? 
    Posted 8 months ago by Cryztal Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That seems to be the arrangement, yes.
    Posted 8 months ago by CrashTestPilot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yes, and pouring it uses it up too, so you have to go get more.

  • Kudos on the Sartre reference in the bar. :)

  • I just gave a couple of fine Glitchen a piggy back ride through hell, and they were so grateful, it was fun!

    If anybody starts a group dedicated to organizing that, you should call it "The Nicest of the Damned."

  • Ok, I have a random question that may have been answered before....
    Why don't I ever leave a grave stone?
    (I've tried not being in my house (either real or beta), not being on my street, being in public streets, etc...  No stone.  No wine for me.  So much for the ability to acquire wine or move things around in my beta house.)
    Posted 8 months ago by Nerd of Epic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That was something changed/fixed a long time ago, flows with logic.

    You don't get a ticket till someone goes to your grave while you are "dead" and either mourn/celebrates it by using the appropriate action on the graveside marker.
    Posted 8 months ago by Rook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Nerd of Epic you need to die on a street with other glitches, only someone else can mourn your death. when you come back from hell the grave stone disappears. (unless other glitches are failing to see your stone after you die? in which case you should file a bug report when it happens)

    [edit beaten by Rook!]

  • It seems like if they want this pattern to work they should make Hell a good deal larger so people are inspired to explore it and thus might just remain dead for a bit longer.  I accept that only other people can mourn me and that stones disappear upon return to life (to help reduce objects in the world) but I am seldom dead for more than about 13 seconds at a time, give or take.  (It just doesn't take that long to smash some grapes.)  Thanks for the info guys.

  • Did you drop through the hole and explore the 7 streets of Naraka?
    Posted 8 months ago by Addi Bee~♥ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ages and ages ago unfortunately.  Unless they've expanded beyond the 7 levels of Hell, I've been to all of them.  (I love exploring new streets.)
    Posted 8 months ago by Nerd of Epic Subscriber! | Permalink
  • You should explore again then, Nerd of Epic. Hell has some new features.
