The First Feat!!!

You know the legend of Groddlocritus right? The great philosopher who discovered Imagination in the first place? Then you certainly know of his legendary meditation which lasted 11,113 minutes. It was a Feat which echo'd through history, right to the present moment. If we Glitches can united to re-create this week during the next six game days (the new "game week!") then ... something cool will happen.

UPDATE (one hour later): We've fixed the bug which prevented the correct display of your own contribution. Everyone's previous meditation counted towards advancing the overall goal (yay!) but until a few minutes ago the individual contributions were not correctly recorded.

So, take heart from your anonymous gift to your fellow players — the advancement of towards the goal of re-creating an ancient feat is a wonderful thing! — and take heart also from the fact that your individual contributions will now be recorded properly.

  • Agreed WalruZ. Anywho, I wonder are we getting new Feats every game week? I hadn't really payed attention to this post, so I may have missed that........

  • I need to start a Stoot quote file. The aforementioned Neopets quote, and my all-time favorite "Glitch - It's not just for perverts, but mostly it is."

  • I love the Feats feature!! Thanks!  
    I dislike the leaderboard, not because I dislike competition but because in this Feat, it worries me to see someone spending 2+ hours just meditating.  I'm not trying to judge, your time is your time and I'd never tell anyone how to spend it :) 

    In the future perhaps the leaderboards could just show the leaders (who have well earned their titles)  while leaving out by just how much they're leading by.   When I signed on and first saw the Feat, I was pumped...until I saw that I had no chance at all of getting on that leaderboard.  Not that I need to win to play, but that was a very deflated feeling.  Leaving out the amount contributed while listing the leaders would leave more hope to go around.

  • Unless I'm missing something (very possible), I don't see a really intuitive way to get to the Feats leaderboard/personal contribution page from the home page. All I can get to that way is the calendar. Is there a place to click on the home page Feat graphic to take you straight to more information about the Feat?

    While I'm at it, I wish the iMG drop down menu would let you access Home (which is how I get to Leaderboards) and Snaps (it takes me a bunch of clicks to find my unpublished ones). The navigation in general is pretty confusing. (I think I still use Google to get to the "see Favor with all Giants" page.) Maybe this could go in the ideas forum if people want to discuss.

  • Oh, and that new stuff this feat unlocked? Well, let me say this: it is, in my most Holy and all-knowing opinion, the most fun real-time collaborative play thing we've added to the game so far. Sooooo good." 

    does this mean something new ? or are you referring to the feast itself ?

  • all that for 40 Img?  worthless.

  • Did you see this, Rennie? The individual reward may not be high, but the reward for the whole is very great.

  • For my part, I agree 40 iMG was a bit surprising.  But they never promised more than a participation award.  Plus, I think this was more of a build up to the BIG NEW content, than an individual rewards thing.  Personally, I met some really great new friends through this feat and the competition was fierce, but lots of fun!   Thanks, stoot and the rest of the devs, for this event!  I'm looking forward to what you come up with next.  :)

  • They release new stuff on Fridays anyway.  I'm looking forward to future feats; however, this is nowhere near the old style project giveaways.  I get more than 40 iMG from meditating once.

  • Hmmm...so the few minutes I meditated during the first hour were not recorded as my contribution to the feat? I'm sad :(

  • Ah whoops, I wasn't on today so apparently missed the whole thing.
    Posted 96 days ago by Anaglyph Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sk8r Dave - don't worry, you got 40 img less than if you'd meditated for 2 hours!

  • Ameh, I'll buy you a sno-cone.  You'll actually gain more.

  • Poop. I missed it. :(

  • Sadly, I saw it, just went into game to figure out how to participate, and a bunch of lightning struck very close to my home, so I had to shut down, and the storms raged all evening.  Came back last night and it was over.  Excited about the new areas, but sad I didn't get a chance to participate...looking forward to the next one...I'm one of those that misses the old street projects, and if this is  replacing them, then I wanted to get in on it to see if it scratches that itch.

  • So far, the feats are the first thing that have made me feel left out, incapable of achievement and generally unhappy with where an aspect of the game might be headed (even the rare vendors were less alienating). I suppose many others felt this way in regards to street projects, but they (the projects - not the players) weren't around for very long after I joined Glitch and I have no real sense of what that time in the game was like. Mostly this is just frustrated rambling, but I thought I should share my view of it since it seems like feats are here to stay. :(
