glitch: a wacky new mmorpg played in browser

(like how much time is left?)

don't know, but last time it was noon PST

Someone in the forums says about 5pm PDT, which seems to be based on this tweet:

playglitch Glitch, the game
Only ~24 hours left in this test! We close Thursday afternoon-ish PST - there will be in-game notifications for the exact closing time.
17 hours ago

so basically I dunno

I am away this weekend so I guess this is good timing (as long as I can get my current short skill learnt in time to queue up a long skill next)

thanks for the heads up. just queued animal kinship vii

ah crap, all of my skill trees are blocked by needing to spend emblems of whoever and i am at work and should be doing stuff :(

there's a greasemonkey script somewhere that'll allow you to cue-up 5-10 skills in advance

oooooo dangerous

i'm done playing this until it reopens. i don't want to exhaust everything fun to do.

learned ez cooking 1 just because it was there

idk maybe i have too much faith in these dudes but i am pretty optimistic that they are going to roll out some fairly awesome stuff on the regular, so im going to keep cracking away - also this beta has def focused my ideas about what i would concentrate on in the next go around - def didnt need quite so much teleportation, def should have gone deep earlier on mining/refining/etc. i dont think cooking or gardening are ever going to really grab me tbh

see i'm exactly the opposite; obsessing over food and harvesting is what this game is about to me.

yeah having just discovered alchemy and contrasting that with the sheer amount of bag space taken up by cooking, I would definitely go that route first next time

although the ability to quickly reset my mood by grabbing a few ingredients and whipping up something fast is awesome

see this is why we need to coordinate our playstyles better, then we could have make our group into a coalition where ppl only have to concentrate on 1 or 2 skills

the big problem w/a refining focus is that grinding stuff burns energy like its going out of style, so i have to keep buying shittons of food or wasting a bunch of time petting random piggies or whatever.

so yeah what dan said

and thus we take our first steps towards becoming an actual gaming guild

*gulp*

well I'm gonna be the cook for this group.
Learning awesome stew kinda fixes everything? 2 meat, 2 potato, 2 parsnip, 2 onion, 5 beans, 4 potato, 1 saffron. 200 energy. 18 energy to make. I keep 80 of all the above produce and make as many as i can with meat/bean reserves everytime i find a produce seller.

in other words, find and friend me in game so i can mail you two awesome stews and you'll be set for food for two game days

I hereby offer to be the dealer. Making no-no powder is the only thing that's made me any money in this game.

how do I friend someone in game? I'm not on fb with any (?) of you so I can't do it that way.

i think its a pretty good testament to the game that we all are finding totally different things that make it fun

i am also intrigued by the musicblox - i enjoy it when crabs sidle up and want to listen to tunes

xpost i thought they mentioned adding a search function on the last update? havent looked for it yet though

we definitely need a dealer.
the things i'm finding that make good cash oddly enough are stews and cherries... i'm getting 24 cherries per tree, so an average board on parts of the world are good for 100. 250 cherries sell for 2500 on the auction board fairly easy so that's what i've been doing.

HAVE NOT MET CRABS YET
this game is pretty deep

lol I seem to run into a crab like every third zone

jjjjusten, you need to get your hands on some flaming humbabas. makes grinding so much easier.

yeah i know i should use some of the drinks that make mining and grinding not eat up energy but i am too much of a hoarder

I love the crabs. Uh.

Is there anything groups can do besides have a private forum at the moment? It'd be good to have a central repository for food/materials/etc but I haven't noticed anything like that.

we could buy a big house, invite each other to enter and get a group place.
Just have to make sure not to allow other people in or else the safe gets emptied.

haven't gotten to the point of getting a residence yet; can those be used as communal storage?

xp: well I guess that answers that

inventory breakdown for me is one toolbox, one big bag for tools, one big bag for groceries, one big bag for produce/dairy, one big bag for meals, one big bag for cherry/bean/wheat/egg/meat, one big bag for drinks, two big bags for "stuff", one big bag for musicblocks, one big bag for bubbles/earth, one big bag for rocks, one meditation orb

"4PM Vancouver/San Francisco time" according to http://beta.glitch.com/forum/general/6351/

xposts oh man the crabs are awesome, I have been waving my hands around like pinchers and going "hey, man. got any tunes?" randomly at my bf since getting on this thing

i'd chip in, made some cash selling shrine powder. nowhere near the 50k you were talking about earlier though!

xp oh and boxes for spices, compounds and elements of course
why am i not meeting crabs? where are they?

Wish they'd hurry up and reboot this so I can justify getting back into it. I'm worried that by the time it happens, you'll all know the systems inside out and I'll be the irritating newb getting everything wrong.

there doesn't seem to really be any systems? It's all grinding, exploration, surprises and good design/writing.

I think I mainly meet them in Ix? But other places too, can't remember, sorry.

I seem to have fallen into cooking (though I am still pretty low level) because it had the most obvious reward tree, I guess? like, I learnt mining I and II and got myself some rocks and then realised that it was going to take another six billion levels to do anything with them and I didn't know what that "anything" was going to be anyway

whereas with cooking, it's like, here are 3 easy recipes for energy-restoring food, here is a quest to make 10 meals, once you've done that you'll get another 3 recipes and another quest, etc

but I've got to admit I'm getting a bit bored of the cooking, so, uh, hi! tell me what is awesome about your chosen skill paths, what you can make now you are a level whatever, etc (no spoiler-level detail, just a quick introduction to what you like about yr skillz)

Maybe I mean you'll have seen all the surprises then? Dunno. Maybe it'll all be fine and great!

Either way, I'm keen to get back in.

diversify with the cooking and it gets less boring. like with drinks and spicemaking and harvesting and animal kinship.

just started with cooking too and yeah it seems like a lot of work

ok i am literally just learning the shortest stuff i can so i am rocketing up the cooking charts

better learning 5 is a pretty awes skill

i have been procrastinating doing Better Learning, as soon as i finish all the gardening/animal stuff that's my next pathway.
then teleportation. then finally mining/alchemy/tinkering.

i think if i time this right, i might learn everything its possible to learn w/o using an emblem of anybody today

nah wait herdkeeping still takes 1 hr 45 minutes

Okay, there is still brilliant stuff. I just found a big rock formation that looks like a dragon that other glitches have turned into a shrine and left cryptic notes hinting at how to reach the seemingly-inaccessible top. Love these guys.

where the fuck do I get eggs?

the community is just so fucking awesome, it makes the game much more fun to play.

eggs are on egg trees. they tend to be in dark places like caves.

man I have no idea what Im supposed to be doing at the beginning.. Ive been beefing up my animal husbandry stuff but I dont know what it is Im supposed to be striving for..?
