#### Mining, harvesting, watering, petting, etc. is slinging us like mad - AGAIN! (updated)

Whoa, nice update there sweet devs! Thank you for not slinging us around anymore! We harvest, pet, water, mine, etc. wherever we are standing. :)
LOVE IT!!!-----------------
ETA 6-14-2012: Nevermind, you guys have us slinging WAY OUT to the edge of the trees, overlapping the other ones next to it. Why???? Please put it back to either the trunk, or not moving us at all. Please!

- Now if we can add slinging for shrine donating, that'd be great. (For those of us who drag and drop with the check-favor window open, while there are other players standing in front of the shrine)

- Do any of you play with your mouse, or just the keyboard? I am wonder if anyone that regularly clicks on items in the world notices anything different...

- I mainly use my mouse as the arrow keys do not work on my Imac with a wireless keyboard. I noticed a small change while mining and gardening. I wasn't really paying attention though.

- I use a mouse,i find you do not have to be next to the object to get the menu. You can just click on object from where you are and Menu comes up. Also if you point the pointer anywhere on the screen and click your little Glitch will walk to that point.

- @ eric
  When I was on earlier (watchin' grandbaby, atm, and can't check it out again til she goes home) I was able to do almost everything with my mouse except collect from my collectors which sit up on a shelf...told me I was not close enough to collect from them so I had to jump and hit enter to collect - no biggy, but thought you might like to know lol
  But totally love that I don't have to try to be right next to everything else to collect things!! Very awesome!!

- @eric I almost always play with my mouse and It makes a HUUUGE difference not having to walk to an object to interact/ pick it up! So thank you :P

- Big hug to eric! I too use my mouse for lots of actions. This improvement is icing on the cake! Thank you.

- Oh, I really don't care for this change. I like the interaction from afar (horizontally), but it seems you have also decreased the maximum vertical distance at which you can interact with something. Before, I was able to operate my machines while they are in my attic from just standing in my top floor. Now I'm not close enough and I have to try to jump up onto my shelves. Boo. :-(

- I think that was probably just too convenient.
  Maybe we could have special teleportation skills that lets us zoom around our houses instantly for some energy.
  Maybe be able to add multiple doors, to floors. Even onto the same floor.
  There would be a special achievement for re-enacting a Benny Hill chase scene in your house featuring a set number of Gltchen.

- I'm being slung around while shaking trees again...

- Is this why we can harvest the wood trees in the enchanted forest even when we are 2 levels away? I really have fun doing that.

- Slinging didn't actually change, did it? It looks like the only change is the ability to bring up a menu from a distance. It still pushes me where I don't want to go once I make my selection.
  EDIT: Ah, I see. I can pull stuff out of SDBs without moving around. I guess that's a bit of progress.

- Too bad its slinging us again. :(
  Posted 7 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously | Permalink
- Eric, I mainly play from my keyboard, it's a lot more useful.
  Great update, I'll have to get inhale to check it out

- The trees are definitely slinging me around - especially in the Enchanted Forests. I got slung so hard by a few that I dropped off the platform with the tree and landed on the ground at the bottom :(

- My wood trees still sling me around, although most other interactions seem much better.

- Why was this changed back to slinging us again? I loved the way it stopped moving us around, eric. :(
  Posted 6 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously | Permalink
- I actually prefer that it moves us near the tree we are watering, etc. It didn't feel right to water a tree from across the yard.
  Posted 6 months ago by Audaria | Permalink
- I'm with Buttercup✿ on this. I like more control over my actions, not less. I think it's reasonable for our characters to be touching the tree to take an action, Audaria, but I don't know why we have to be moved from the center of the tree to the side...
  That said, I've been consistently impressed by TS's tweaks to game-play, and would be interested to hear their take on why they choose to sling us.

- I agree (smiley face). I just didn't like it when we could interact with them from across the yard.
  Posted 6 months ago by Audaria | Permalink
- Trees are again slinging you too far. You can interact with one tree and have it push you so far that the tree next to it is now the new default selection.
  Stop the madness.

- I tried to report this yesterday, I was told "they are working on it, be patient"...But yeh, I really liked it so much when it either took inside to the trunk, or didnt move us at all. Why did it have to go back to the way it used to be?
  Posted 6 months ago by Innie✿, Obviously | Permalink
- I always use the keyboard.
  Posted 6 months ago by Janitch | Permalink
- I play using the mouse most of the time. A couple days ago I noticed that i was being slung further than ever. I was at Grimsee, harvesting wood and was thrown off the edge several times.
  Delays using the mouse when gardening sometimes seems longer but I am having a hard time teaching myself to use the keyboard. It's been many years since I used the keyboard and I have never looked back until now. The UI is geared toward keyboard and the actions do seem better when using the keyboard instead of the mouse.

- I spotted I was being slung way out for chopping wood trees but pulled in for watering them. BOINGY.

- I hate being moved so far that I get two trees when I try to harvest! Its very annoying :( I liked it way better when I didn't get moved..

- Massaging butterflies is also super annoying. When you have them orbiting a stick, a massage will shove you out of their range and you have to keep moving back and forth to deal with them.
  For the usual no reason whatsoever.

- Yikes, it's baaack and sling-ier than ever.. maybe this would be a good action to record on my 15 mins of TS fame video.

- Yay! Our long Glitchian nightmare is over!
  Free at last! Free at least! Thank Pot Almighty, we are free at last!

- Im not free, not without coupon.
  Look for it in your Val-Pack mailer or in the Sunday paper.

- I love this! It will move us to the outer rim if we are too far away, but if we are within a zone, it will not sling us around. THANK YOU! That is amazingly perfect. :D

- Yes I noticed that harvesting jellisacs, I will get slung around from my keyboard but not my mouse. BUT I prefer to play from my keyboard.
