Let's Happily Reflect on Changes that caught you off-guard and made you smile.

While we wait for the game, how about telling others about the changes you've noticed lately that caught you by surprise? And made you shake your head and mutter "Yes, THAT makes sooo much sense, thank you TS you're so thoughtful yada yada blahdeblah..." Ahem anyhoo, here are a couple that come to mind:

Local Chat. It tells me where I've been. No more wandering aimlessly, travelling to the same.street.I.just.left.a minute.before. Gathering supplies takes much less time now and is way more efficient. This update has saved my lil Glitch loads of energy and time.

Local Chat: lets us know who the Rube's for. Now we can start running like crazy for a real reason. No more embarassing sprints for the street signs only to find out Rube's here for another player.

The Awesome "Go Home" button. Wow, this one's my favorite so far. Seeing that happy cloud was a YAY moment. But, clicking on that button and realizing we can go home any time, and it costs no energy, was a huge unexpected bonus.

The Equally Awesome "Return to World" button. Unexpected. Awesome. And a free ride to it, too. Forget your EHSP? Just go home, pick it up, go back. No energy drain. Very cool, TS.

What about you guys?

  • The fact that I can go home and back into the world any time I want. I dont have the teleport 2 and 3 skill yet, so for me this was a huge bonus! Also, I love how local chat tells me who the rube is for.

  • I love the fact we don't need energy to get home! It means no one has to sleep under a tree because they don't have enough energy to get home, everyone can get home at any time, from any place (except hell), no matter what
    ~love it! =)

  • I love the qurazy quoins! Especially the ones that show up randomly on streets you *have* been to before. I wander around exploring so much more in hopes of finding them! There are a lot of really cool streets to explore. ^^

  • The ability to go anywhere on the map straight from home.  I know we had that in Alakol houses, but it has not worked until now in the new housing, and it is for everyone! Yay!

    (OK, I know you have to teleport, but that is a small price to pay IMV)

  • The local chat saying where I've been and where quarzy quoins show up so I know even if I'm not paying attention when the street loads is super awesome.  Also, the ability to go home at anytime without spending energy is the best

  • I had read someone else's post about being able to give piggies more food all at once and they give you more seed.  Wasn't ready to try it but then I accidentally fed a pig allllll of my brocoli.

    Awww, only one plop resulted, so sad, wahhhh.

    Oh, hey, more plops!  And, wow, lots of seed packs in each plop.   Look, another plop!!

    So, that was something pleasant that totally caught me off guard.

    ~Lets guard down~

  • New hotkeys!

    I made an offhand comment in Live Help that it would be really nice if something like shift-T brought up the teleportation menu since it had changed to be two keys to get to it.  Half an hour later, it was implemented and live in the game.  (Thanks again Endo!)

  • I love love love it that soulbound furniture now shows a red dot and a pop-up on mouseover. Yay!
    Posted 7 months ago by Sirentist Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love that we got starter furniture with the housing reset...and one of those pieces being a cabinet.  Figured we'd have to make it all...so nice to see we got at least a few baseline things.

  • what beachy said - I loved it that we were given some basic furniture !

  • The small change I love the best is moving the harvesting spot on trees.  On densely populated streets, the ability to harvest without having to highlight two trees at a time is fantastic! (West Spice, I'm looking at you)

  • The caterpillars! *squeee*
    (Drop one and see what it does!)

  • It's changed since I posted that.  Turns out you now Harvest, Pet and Water "in place" wherever you hit enter.  Awesome!

  • I love this thread. Yes to all, especially the local chat location to location feature (but really all of them).

  • On extreme zoom-out on a street in Kalvana (can't remember which street), I noticed little animations in the water at the foreground of the scene - little ripples in the water, like fish were feeding or raindrops were falling. I love seeing little visual details like that in games. :)

    I also like that animals can't come inside our new houses unless we put them there. And that furniture now stacks. And the new interface location for the inventory search. Hell, I'm still appreciating stackable gems, music blocks and furniture.

  • The awesome SDBs that pay no regard to capacity as long it's the same thing. I've seen an SDB with literally more than a hundred shiny objects. It all fitted. Nice touch.

  • love posting pictures into GlitchR, beautiful usability.
    Posted 7 months ago by Rudi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I also love that gems and music blocks now stack...soooooo much better!  And that we got cabinets back for those things you just don't want to put in an SDB (especially bags of things for sharing/projects, etc.).

  • I panicked for a moment when I couldn't find my bag search magnifying glass, and then was delighted when I saw where it had moved! And that it is now so much *more* visible. Thanks!

  • I like the crooked animated snaps on the snap page.  Its a small thing but it makes glitch'r unique.

  • i love how being able to see your neighbors on your sigh post and seeing all the stuff you have in your yard or house

  • Ah, and we can now mail furniture...sweet sweetness!! :D

  • "Context menus can now be opened at a distance" :) - really nice for dealing with shelves of icons

  • The emo-bear sitting up and hugging the moon instead of just lying down floppy. Best change ever. May not have been the most useful change but I squeeed for hours.

  • "You can now mail furniture to your friends (but you'll need to reload first). I think we're going to need bigger delivery frogs… Sendy!"
    Favorite by far!

  • The sold auctions announcements have been consolidated! Now there's only one announcement to see and click on, instead of one for every auction. TY Devs!

  • My camera never worked before they added the 'snaps' feature. Not only did it work after the housing/upgrade changes, they added all of the nice filters to go along with it. So, a surprise within a surprise:)

  • I'm not sure if this was a change or I just happened to notice it one day, but here it goes: I love the 'rolling' currants counter. From what I (think I) remember it used to be just a flat subtraction whenever you bought something, but then one day the number would slowly roll down to the new amount. It's a cool visual feature, but nobody mentioned this around the time it I discovered it, some I'm still not entirely sure how old the change was, or if it has always been that way.

  • Yes, that was implemented during the iMG changeover.

  • The mailboxes and alakol homes. Ah, the alakol homes. My home will never be the same again...
    Posted 5 months ago by daniel5457 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The Mailboxes were a favorite feature for me too.  I love to see them dance.  I always wished I had my own box and could hardly wait to get to my new Home street to have my own Mailbox but it didn't happen.  The Butler definitely is NOT the same.  It never tells me when I have mail or messages and always forgets who visited or left a package.

  • I was checking my energy level and noticed something new to the right of our iMG totals: An exclamation point within a white triangle, both inside a red circle. Yay Devs! We get forewarned when changing locations will trigger a reload for a game update now, niiiice : )

  • Are you sure that wasn't your teleportation cooldown icon?

  • 1) In game list of friends/groups/channels, has changed it's font(?)

    2) Button on the homepage and forums for posting things are smoother and furrier-ish.

  • Being able to access someone's home street/profile page by clicking on someone's name in game without having to go to 'info'. (Just noting the change.)
