That is absurd. The LG beast drops about 50m each time you kill it, perhaps more. There are people who are willing to take a few hours out of their vacations with their loved ones to kill the beast. Maybe even a few hours a day just to play nod regularly.

It's the act of a sadist to intentionally conceal the date/time of the beast, which would force people to play, quite literally, 24-7 for the next 14 days just to be sure that they can queue for the beast, let alone kill it.

I'll review what other people have said and update this, but if I recall correctly nearly every post in the forums relating to whether or not beast times should be announced was in favor of the former.

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

Narrowing down to a 2-3 day window would be nice, but not really going to affect my availability and I doubt I'm the only one. If a beast turns up while I'm here, great. I'm not going to rearrange my schedule or hang around the comp all day waiting though.

It may make a difference for many people.

Examples: It's going to be at 3 AM my time? I'm not going to bother sitting on the comp all day if it's going to be on at that time.

Maybe it will be on at 5 PM. So instead of playing in the morning as I normally do, I'll spend that time for something else so I can be there for the beast.

I'd be willing to give out my number so that as an interested and collective group, we could text each other when the LG beast makes its appearance and inform the rest of the group in real time.

Beast have always been random. Why change it now? If you want a leg up, Brother's suggestion is the way to go.

If you're that desperate to be here for the LG beast that you're willing to spend all your time on here, just in case you miss it, then you might want to have a serious look at your life, and your priorities.

Just saying.

Most of everyone "the reasonable non trolling group" will agree with you on this huggles....

But at the end of the day, isn't that exactly what glitch wants? For people to be online and active as much as possible?

As much as I also don't like the beast being random, more now than ever that I don't play much anymore. I also see the humor in your post in glitches eyes

Example. I manage a company that I pay my employees a bonus based ok thier sales. When ever I check the reviews of what customers have to say each month, I find my self happy and laugh when I see someone complaining about how one of my employees were doing something that would suggest that they were indeed doing their job. For example, "he talked me into purchasing ____ and I ended up not using it. Complete waste of money". Terrible I know, but people should make their own decisions and that customer chose to purchase that feature/benefit so it's no ones fault but his own. Sadly in this generation it's all about the $$ and glitch team is very smart at finding ways to keep the community as active as possible and making that extra $.



IMO anyway.

We hear what you are saying, and we promise that at least one of the beasts will have 24 hour notice of an hour window within which it will appear.

Thank you. I appreciate it and I'm certain many others do as well.

If anyone is serious about the LGBT (LG Beast Text) Program, then you can contact me in game. I've got a couple players already who want to do the real time text alert.

Will LG beast appear on NG server as well? Or good stuff doesn't apply to S2?
