Counter for some badges!

We need an in game counter for some of these badges. Primarily, numismatizer.

For the last week I have been a slave to actually checking the game day time before logging in so I have time to collect coins and I find out tonight I only have a few days on the counter so must have missed a day. This seems outlandishly impossible to me since I have literally not even bothered to log in unless I have the game time (and RL time) to collect the 100 coins.

The tree, animal, etc badges are fun surprises but I think things like teleportation/subway riding/and anything that can be reset like the numismatizer badge should get an in game status bar near the calendar/coin collection thing.

It was so upsetting and discouraging finding out that the focus and attention I had given to playing was pretty much for nothing that I think I need a break from glitch for a few days. 

I love glitch but this type of feature feels like...glitch doesn't love me!

  • Or, a quoin on each day, on a calendar in your account for every day you collect the 100 coins, would be great.

  • Posted in the wrong forum - can it be moved to ideas?

  • I'd love to see a counter for all the badges, but the fact that they've had badges for at least a year, with pretty constant demand for counters, leads me to believe it's not possible :(

  • It is definitely possible. If staff has a counter they can see, then they can create one for us to see - and if they can count how many coins per day then they can most certainly count how many days you collect those coins (displaying that information on a calendar might be easier than a "counter"). It's not that it's not possible - it's a matter of whether or not they'll do it, and if not why. And I don't really want one for all badges - trees, pigs, butterflies and all related actions, smelting, etc I don't want them for (I support others wanting them, but really my post is related to these big ones)

    Would love to see an answer from a dev if they are NOT going to do it and why. I feel rather strongly about this for some reason. Maybe because I literally wrote this stuff down and can't figure out how it went wrong or when, and that information isn't something anyone can see - just how many days I currently have.

  • Marie -  i just went through the numismatizer badges a week ago so i feel your pain.

    My work around (which doesn't address your primary point) was, as you said to log in at least by 11pm on a game day. I'd position myself on marrakesh meadows where in 15 minutes of real time you can get 100 quoins. Did that 17 game days in a row (was annoying) but got the badge.

  • I feel your pain. I've been doing the same but lost count on the way to 17. I forgot about it last night and at midnight realized that I had failed to get 100 for the day. I must have been getting close, maybe 13 or 14. Oh well, it's back to coin (I prefer quoin) collecting.

  • We should all have a way to track our hard work and focus.

  • i'm starting to use a notepad/text editor to keep track... all these times didn't realize that the count reset to zero if you miss a day. o_0

  • Good place to work on this is Groddle Forest Junction, by the time you get to the end you run back to the other end and can redo it again.
