Bored so why not have goals that we can do while game is down?

It seems that there are a lot of Glitchees who are bored to tears without something positive to do while game is being tweaked.   Maybe even earn a badge or two.  Maybe something along the lines of sell one item a day in auction, make one new friend at level 5, 10, 15, 20  etc., join one new group or start one new discussion here in the forums.  Good Idea or Bad Idea ??  Just can't keep asking when will we be open.

  • I think they want to focus on active in-game achievements so that they can get the game up and running as fast as possible. If they worry more about what we can do out of game, then they'll have to stop focusing on the in-game stuff and then we'll all have to wait even longer for the game to open.

    But that's just my observation... :S

  • Unicorn, you know what they say? Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, my friend. :)

  • we can make flowcharts detailing what's in our bags and then mock up our re-organization before the game starts so we don't waste any spare in-game time!

  • I *wish* I could just have another skill being learnt right now.  I finished BL5 yesterday and could have been halfway done with something else by now.

  • I feel ya, Whiz.....My last mining just finished...but there's so many other long skills I could have going right now! To think I was worried it wouldn't be finished by the time we started back.....*Sigh*

  • Apparently I'm carrying 77,000++ worth of stuff in my bags. That means I have 100,000+ currants altogether. Woot!

  • I know NutMeg - I had the same worry that I'd still be working on BL5.  If I could have worked on the other skills, I'd have a couple more under my belt by now.

  • you mean *heaven* right because omg omg omg!

    for those who haven't seen the big news in the other thread, might i kindly suggest that a goal you might have while the game is down would be to get and play katamari damacy and just imagine how freaking amazing it is going to be...  :D

  • @katlazam I don't know about anyone else, but I've already been planning to find and buy Katamari Damacy tomorrow (since it's currently the middle of the night where I am) (: I just saw a youtube video of it that someone posted in the other thread, and that game looks AMAZING.

  • Wait, wait, I've played that basic Katamari...what is Katamari Damacy? *off to snootle round the interwebs...*

    Hmm, looks as if maybe that is just the full name and I didn't know it:) durrr

  • Hang on, how many are there? And which should I start with?
    Posted 17 months ago by Xacau Feera Blin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • it really is!  i have never played anything like it ever.  i went through a phase a few years back where i couldn't get enough katamari, to the point where my brain started playing it as i walked around outside.  i have a distinct memory of one day where i was riding a train, and we came out of a tunnel to this scene with cars and bridges and a dock with shipping containers, and suddenly i could just *see* it all being rolled up into my mental katamari.  total tetris effect!

    if you have an iphone, there is also an iphone app!

    haha, can you tell that i am excited?  :)

  • katamari damacy is "basic" katamari.  next came we <3 katamari.  then the iphone game.  that is all.

    i would probably start at the very beginning.  a very good place to start.  but really anything you can get your hands on is good...

    ETA: oops!  by "that is all", i meant that i have played.  :)  in my excitement, i overlooked beautiful katamari (xbox 360) and me and my katamari (psp) because i haven't had a chance to play these yet!

  • HA! katlazam, I had a similar experience with a videogame and real life. I love the Super Mario games. One night we went to Fry's Electronics and for who knows what reason, there was this giant piano-type thing above the entrance. And my mind clearly saw me leaping up, hitting the piano with my head and getting a coin out of it. And then I thought, Well this is it; you've gone over the edge!

    (This was pre-Glitch dreams, which I've had a couple of, too.)

  • Haha, that sounds brilliant. And I love your excitement! It's getting me excited about not only Katamari, but also Glitch! (: It's like having a tasty drink!

    I have an iPhone, so that's where I'll start. I can play it on the way to buy Katamari Damacy tomorrow! I have a lot of free time on my hands right now, so this is absolutely perfect (:

  • About to start the iPhone game!
    Posted 17 months ago by Xacau Feera Blin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yay!  :D

  • Whenever the game is up, I make a point of collecting a minimum of 1 bag full of stuff to sell at auctions during the down time. 
    This last time round, I didn't get much play time in, but I somehow managed to collect 2 bags of stuff to sell during the down time. 
    I've managed to sell most of it in the downtime so far, still got a very small number of items to go, but the big ticket ones have gone.  
    I tend to go with making money while the game's down and then spending big time when the game's up lol

  • Okay, I'm not great at this, but it's definitely going to keep me busy (: LOVE IT. Maybe I'm just going crazy because it's waaaayyyy past my bedtime, but I'm so excited!

    @Ebil That's a good idea. I waste a lot of game time trying to make money, and that's usually when I need to buy stuff. My organization is terrible.

    I keep looking over at my desk...

  • I heard there was a super secret badge for going to play outside while the game is down ;)

  • ???  Really  ???  How would they know you were outside ?  Make a video ?  lol

  • Outdoors is exactly where the iPhone game comes in handy! (;

  • Downloading it on my iPod now.........
    OMG LOVE IT! The menu is so interesting to use, and the pencil sticking to the ball just made me go WOW. It's just so full of Glitchy randomness. Yup, the new guy is AWESOME.
    ETA: Love the Royal Rainbow part :)
