beta-discussion

[cosmic orchid]

ah
how very disappointing

[idle salmon]

Genshin impact number one

[terse yarrow]

Yes it seem Asia server got whacked again. Constant server error appear.

[woeful obsidian]

Shards buggy? I got nothing.. No ac..

[terse yarrow]

Same

[shadow stratus]

Thats rare

[quiet obsidian]

yo beta chat did they finally add a proper way to access past memories yet or do we suffer

[cedar spade]

Thanks

[broken fractal]

Can't enter beta again

[cedar spade]

too bad

Not long after my test server was launched, the old display server was abnormal.

[fiery gust]

You mean beta 🤣..

[cedar spade]

Yup

[oak remnant]

I just hopped on to beta again and the kit doesn't let us eat on fire marshmallows? 😔

[kindred fossil]

I think you’d have to time that?

[cedar spade]

That's natural. Would you like to eat flames?

[oak remnant]

Oh? The button won't appear whenever mine is on fire. Or maybe I did it wrong 🤔

[kindred fossil]

It disappears as soon as it catches fire, so it has to be timed

[oak remnant]

Ohhh I see, I'll try it again. Thanks, Dark 😌

[cedar spade]

u can eat it when it becomes the smallest briquet, so that you can eat the burning flames.

[trim spade]

Anyone else crashes when going to sunny forest?

[cedar spade]

Me

[fiery gust]

iOS got this problem, but Android are safe

[limpid crown]

Most android are safe I believe

[trim spade]

Still getting server errors too

[chrome cypress]

Some Android 8 can't neither enter the game so yeah 🤣

[shadow stratus]

Is it not all android 8?

[inland halo]

Happened to me in live recently

[primal meadow]

Me too… (iOS as well)…

[glass spoke]

i really hope that ping was turned off

[steady pond]

t-three years ago ....

[quiet moon]

Where can we buy the mash@allow thing?

[hasty vessel]

Through the in-game shop, it is free

[kindred fossil]

If you bought it in the previous build you won’t be able to this build, supposedly

[chrome cypress]

Dunno, i asked here days ago and some says it was work good for them other no work, i saw in beta bug android too and it seems that some android 9 have this problem too, may is only in some devices with some kind of gpu?

[storm vessel]

Android 12 is fine, only server error sometimes when pressing things too fast that require server. Although the phone does get hot in sunny forest area. Wonder if Samsung S22 would have problem since I heard it over heat easily?

[slate narwhal]

Still with the server errors?

[elder inlet]

seems so,for mine at least

[cosmic orchid]

wrong server

read #rules #beta-faq

[spark lance]

I can't log in my internet is great tho

[elder inlet]

i had some connection error too but retrying did help, though i did get bombarded with server error

[cosmic orchid]

Beta is experiencing some server issues and is actually normal

it's fine, lets just wait

[scenic wave]

ah, that explains

[spark lance]

Where's the 1st guide? Got yeeted by TGC?

[gilded parrot]

Hello beloved citizens! Skybot here to remind you all that if you are having trouble finding something in Beta, please submit that to TGC in #beta-feedback! You may ask here if you are struggling, but together we can help many Live skykids have a great experience Remember to check #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues as well!

[idle salmon]

Are u the tgc’s adm or something ?

[whole plank]

i am getting server errors frequently, but it seems to happen when a server merge happens or when someone is trying to in/out an instance. while that does not happen, I can play comfortably.

[obtuse cipher]

do you have to finish eden to get shattering season unlocked?
or just unlock valley..?? or something
some chinese moth added me and was wondering why they still didn't have the season opened

[cosmic orchid]

no?
but it's not wrong to redirect fellow players in the community and help share information
you don't need to be an admin to advise

[shadow stratus]

Man what if they added an shortcut to grandma's area to assembly main treehouse, that would be so convenient

[cosmic orchid]

I get a bit of errors when I try to forge but goes away after a while
yeah beta servers' are a bit unstable atm

[misty bone]

.-. server error again for asia..

[cursive tinsel]

When you say sever error do you mean the game is kicking you off/cannot open the game?

Or just the pop up that appears but goes away when you tap retry?

[gilded parrot]

I don't know if they're watching tho...

[misty bone]

1. Loading the game very slowly in the water 2) connection error pop up

[stray elk]

I think it's part of the recent ddos attacks, but they've said it's resolved. To be fair they hadn't said it's resolved on beta.

[cursive tinsel]

Yea it's definitely more severe than just a few retry attempts with this ddos.
Unfortunately live will be the priority over beta for now. Hope it's fixed next week for beta as well

[idle salmon]

My question was just if u are some adm or something, ok ? Thank you dude

[rich oyster]

Next week? Ugh. 😢

[rare carbon]

Im crasing when i visit grandma forest

[jolly bear]

You can go to General if you want to talk about other Games

This place is for Beta Sky discussion only and not for just random general Chat

Any other General Chat that is not in Beta Topic can go to General Chat

No, i am not an Admin as well, i just fellow Beta Player to remind you of the rules

[jolly bear]

Reduce the Battery Lightning image to 0 then don't use Wifi

Use mobile Connection only, it somehow works for me

Some Crashes actually got triggered by Wifi Connection in Beta and in Live, i already report it separately through other way

If your game crash repeatly on few places when others didn't get it and it is when you using Wifi

Try to change into Mobile Connection only after Reducing the Image Level to 0 or 1 Lightning

[idle salmon]

Who are u ? lol I don’t remember answering something to u, sry man 😓

[jolly bear]

I just replied to your Genshin comment XD anyway, good luck testing if you still able to enter Beta

[idle salmon]

Thank you

[kindred fossil]

If you’re iOS you won’t be able to access the area

[hollow compass]

What area?

[calm wedge]

I'm just having server trouble at the Daylight Prairie.

[hollow compass]

I could enter beta fine earlier today, but not now

[steady pond]

stepping foot into sunny forest seems to obliterate iOS users by crashing immediately upon entry

[hollow compass]

Does it happen both through tp and regular route?

[steady pond]

im not too sure but i think it does

[kindred fossil]

Yes

[hollow compass]

oh, well, it was nice while it lasted

[split sundial]

Hmmm how come there's server errors in beta but not live

[river charm]

Because it’s literally not the same game/server

[split sundial]

..... 🧍
Anyway
I assume they made live a priority to fix,,, which totally makes sense

[visual temple]

Actually, funny story. I tested this on different iOS devices and the results are a bit different:

• crash upon entry
• dumped under the box
• gets whatever prop swapped for the cursed marshmallow

[true ibex]

Says it's failing to connect

[twin isle]

So does anyone know how the masks differ in protection based on pricing? I saw a video about it in here but felt a little confused still.

[hasty vessel]

Please can you link the video?

[cursive tinsel]

Just me or is fishing getting harder...the rare sparkles never lift

[spark lance]

helo

[twin isle]

Sorry for delay, had to find it. I believe this person mentions now forest elder mask can take two hits from crabs? But I'm still struggling to understand the full use.

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[calm wedge]

I just tried the Dailight Prairie mask (cheapest) with shards and crabs. Took one strong hit

[solid dune]

My question is how they’re going to handle obtaining the WLs after the season ends.
We won’t need the Guide to do that since they already has zero connection to the Memory scenes/WL, as you cant “replay this memory” through the Guide to just teleport direct to the memories.
So for right now, I’m guessing the only way to obtain the WLs once season is over, is to do the shard events and just hope that— 1, it’s a Strong Eruption day and 2, that after meditating you just hope it takes you to a memory with a WL. Which would also mean you can only get 1 WL per day.
I cant confirm if redoing the shard numerous times a day will give you different memories, I tried to test but that was just too much of a hassle I was too exhausted trying to do the shard event on my own after the first time 💀

[chrome cypress]

I just wish they make shattering WLs permanent like the one you get from WsBuff, this would be the easly way, so we no need suffer for get them back

[twin isle]

Tbh I feel like once we get deep into the 12th wedge it'll be one of those wl everyone skips. Like I skip trials and tlp area bc I don't need them to be at 11 wings lol.

[solid dune]

Exactly but that’s going to take a while 😭 with the 4 from trials and 3 from Memories, we’ll have to wait for an additional 7 WLs from either TS and or next season

[chrome cypress]

I do no get all wings back, but there are always some crazy people's that want them all back 🤣
Also shuld be able easy access them anyway like others wings

[solid dune]

And idk about you, but depending on how they handle Post season with Shattering, I may do the unthinkable and prefer doing trials Vs the memories

[glass spoke]

i'm not crazy just mentally ill

this problem has been present since the first wl was added to the shattering memory, i suppose we know just as much as we do about the returning of the cosmetics

[pallid hawk]

Where is the multiple marshmallow sticks is supposed to be ?

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[glass spoke]

if you bought the one in the previous build it shoudn't be obtainable
if you didn't, check shop

[pallid hawk]

Oh no 😱 TY !

[solid dune]

Yeah it’s the only thing I’ve been thinking about for this season to be honest, since 12th wedge is finally going to be obtainable for me with these Shattering memories, I must know how obtainable recollecting the WLs is going to be

[glass spoke]

i suppose they'll slam some entrance to the seasonal area in eden lobby or god knows
@wheat widget if you're ios it's a known issue, wait until the next build releases

[wheat widget]

Same here

[solid dune]

Shard events are just going to become the next Trials where I avoid doing them by any means necessary because I cannot be bothered to go through all that hassle

[sly quartz]

update..but cant enter event area at all

[hasty vessel]

Thank you! Yeah this is very confusing. Shards and crabs seem to have the same damage system were you may get two chances of protection, and if you recharge after the first blow the shield can also be fully recharged. I wish the video compared the lesser two masks then it would probably be more clear as to what the advantages of the forest one are.

Tgc need to allow us all to test this new function it feels so odd that only a small minority get to test these

[spark lance]

Don't they have the same amount of effect in terms of taking damage?

[hasty vessel]

Nope

“🟡 Elder masks: masks that require more Ascended Candles to unlock will be able to withstand higher amounts of damage”

#beta-announcements message

[dry flax]

Not sure if every shard event after season will still show the fragment. If so we should be able to view different memories... I choose a memory in the memory place or home(currently) then when shard event happens, I complete it - the memory fragment allows me to view the memory I chose previously

[spark lance]

oh! that means it is wiser to wait for all the elder items to be released first and then decide which one to buy. If the prices remain the same it isn't possible to buy them all.

[spark lance]

i was able to do this in beta too. however when i went back there was no wing

[high charm]

do certain shards correspond to different ancient memories? I've done today's shard like 6 times now and it just alternates between the manta memory and the elders memory
or do I just have absolutely rotten luck

[dry flax]

I didn't try after eden. I will try in live. In live this worked. I completed 2nd memory, choose 1st memory from home. Today when I finished shard event I was able to view the 1st memory again

[trim zenith]

Recently, many beta players have been qualified to enter the server through improper means. I firmly oppose this. Everyone should be equal to enter through the qualification, so I hope that tgc can rectify and remove improper players from the server

[dry flax]

Choose a memory from shard guide.. Before doing a shard event and see what happens

[blazing blade]

Imagine if the Ultimate Ultimate reward for getting all the elder masks was Eden Crown

[noble mantle]

What do you mean ?

[trim zenith]

I think some Chinese players behave wrongly

[spark lance]

They mean that player get beta without an invite. i have come across so many such players. They told me how it was so easy for them to get through. most of them were chinese( no hate sorry)
They said they have 1M candles

[noble mantle]

Oooh I see

[trim zenith]

yes😓

[spark lance]

Also these people went inactive after a couple of seasons.
They said even if they get banned by TGC they will make another account bc it is so easy

[high charm]

oh, is that why I see so many moths in beta

[trim zenith]

I just saw a player who improperly got beta on the channel

[noble mantle]

I guess I was lucky, I never encountered such people...

[trim zenith]

The only way to compete for qualification in discord，right？

[high charm]

i run into so many new players in beta, I thought they had just gotten in a while back and never actually tested

[elder inlet]

through the invite link,yeah if im not mistaken

[spark lance]

These are usually kids who think it is fun and don't understand how wrong it is (they not only get into beta by illegitimate means but get igc too)

[trim zenith]

what means igc？

[high charm]

didn't work :/

[tawdry hemlock]

wasn’t there a Huawei invite wave too thoough

[spark lance]

in game currency like regular candles and seasonal candles

[spark lance]

some of them maybe legit idk. but yea if u go to prairie social in beta it is not difficult to find "those players"

[high charm]

ah, I never go to prairie social space. too social for me

[trim zenith]

I think these Chinese players are unqualified. No wonder tgc is not qualified to open up in China

[spark lance]

They called me an innocent foreigner and mocked me for candle running to collect candles. i was sad as a beta moth lol

[high charm]

man, that sucks :/. it always weirds me out when players call others foreigners. Like, we're not in China rn? This is a video game?

[rugged kayak]

i have a taiwanese friend on live who played on the chinese servers for a bit when she first started sky, she had to quit playing on those servers and move to global because people were so nasty to her about not having "cool" cosmetics (she was a moth!??!?)
according to her, and another mutual chinese friend of ours, lots of players on the chinese server are like that. i told her that i was interested in maybe playing on it a little, and she firmly told me to Not do it because of how toxic most of the playerbase is there. it's sad :[

[trim zenith]

Many Chinese games also have these conditions.

[frank slate]

It’s probably best not to make generalizations about the entire player base in a country, especially a country as large as China.

[trim zenith]

Although I am Chinese, I resist this kind of behavior.

[high charm]

yeah, I've heard the Chinese servers have a lot of toxic players. I haven't encountered anyone too bad but the amount of people that randomly hit on me is... uncomfortably high. And i'm not even dressed in an overly fancy way! I'm like moth height & i don't use maskless or elder hairs

[rugged kayak]

very true, i'm just telling you what i was told by these two friends who played on that server

[muted depot]

Me too

[rugged kayak]

that's creepy but do people actually hit on other players based on how their skykid looks?? if so i think they should be visited by the fbi or something that's so creepy

[muted depot]

I think this will give other players a bad impression.

[trim zenith]

that’s right

[high charm]

happens in live too, it's why I stay away from prairie and wasteland social spaces

[glass spoke]

they absolutely do
also i think you guys should move this discussion to #general-sky-discussion, we're drifting away from beta topics

[frank slate]

But the comments still imply that they’re representative of that player base as a whole and repeating them here only furthers other people’s sense that they are.

[spark lance]

A player asked me if i am fair skinned irl

[high charm]

yikes

[vagrant fable]

That's weird in it of itself but also who even talks like that?
"Good day, kind fellow, I would liketh to know if thou art perhaps fair skinned"

[shadow stratus]

It should be, i honestly think they should remove black shards once the shard drops starts being more rare, waiting for a shard and it being just for wax and no quest at all would suck.
And i think the red shards after the season ends will have the memories still, its a season, people who werent present at the time have to be able to complete as well

[ashen tusk]

wait do we only have 2 days of testing sunlight left?

[carmine thorn]

Never trust the beta timer. Event times can change depending on testing needs.

[ashen tusk]

I was just wondering cause the shop timer is all, I know it's not always accurate so I'm hoping we have longer still because I've been away and haven't had much chance to test it after the first few days I see we can still eat firemallows after the last update so that's fun

[ashen tusk]

pokes skybot
why you gotta die when I'm trying to submit a bug report

[runic girder]

The summer areas becoming more...boring has to be a bug, right? Why would TGC make something more boring?

[ashen tusk]

How do you mean?

[wary temple]

Home space looks so sad and empty now with update sandcastle come back

[ashen tusk]

I can't say I liked the sandcastle so I didn't even notice it was gone omg but now you mention it
I swear I'm good at beta testing, I may seem unobservant but I notice other things

tgc: removes giant sandcastle
me: anyways this tent here is nice

I noticed that bald kids cape stars are glowing now, that's interesting

[sand dawn]

all I noticed was a bright pink tent that is big enough for a tall skykid to enter.. lol

[narrow current]

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding how days of sunlight and days of summer are different events. And it's all due to circumstances brought by situations like the attack and sky assemblies happening recently etc (also days of Sunlight's first build being legit days of summer.)

So even though this will get lost in chat; days of sunlight is NOT days of summer or days of summer light.
Days of summer's Cosmetics will come back for a future event as has been stated by sagomay. (Not sure about the sand castle)
Days of summer lights bunny and lantern will most likely also return.

These at this very moment are 3 different events and all have their own quirks. I don't blame anybody for being confused though as lately communication has been iffy due to circumstances

[stark sundial]

[onyx hinge]

Wait!the event is gone???🥲

[vagrant fable]

As I expected, we get no compensation for the days we lost due to the attack, other than event extension
In beta i get it cuz the policy is none ever, but in live is just sad

[vagrant fable]

Kinda? They removed the previous Days of Summer aspects, like the cosmetics, props and the sandcastle

[misty bone]

was something tall suppose to appear at sunny forest? i see message candles on air but i dont see anything

[vagrant fable]

Afaik no, memory candles just sometimes appear in strange places, I notice

[chilly wigeon]

Didn't the ts and event get extended in live

[vagrant fable]

Yeah but we get no seasonal candles, it's what I meant

[onyx hinge]

I haven’t bought that tent yet!🥲

[vagrant fable]

Imo, it's cute and aesthetic and all, but not worth the 90 candles, I didn't get it either

[sterile cobalt]

iirc free to play skykids only get two days in season of shattering that they can miss without losing out on cosmetics?

[vagrant fable]

Even less now with the server issues and the no compensation
Also genchat is scary

[sterile cobalt]

at the very least i wish they had extended the season by abit if they werent going to compensate

i love tgc and sky but gods theyre bad at compensating for things, like ik this wasnt their fault but im still a little hung up on the switch bug that crashed players games so they couldnt play til it was fixed- i was one of the players affected and i never got the compensation, if i didnt just get a phone that could run sky i wouldn't have finished season of flight bc of that bug

[vagrant fable]

Even if it's not their fault, they should acknowledge that it was an inconvenience to players who were unable to log in
It's nice that they extended the TS and the anniversary event, but those dailies seasonal candles we missed are now forever lost

[sterile cobalt]

yea, and for some players those daily seasonal candles mightve been what helped them finish the season without buying candle packs/if they can

its even detrimental for players with the pass who couldnt collect, especially if they struggle with motivation or just not being able to play every single day as it is

[vagrant fable]

Just doing dailies in sky is enough to eat half the battery of my switch, so I end up missing days because I want to play other games too
And usually I think "oh it's fine cuz there's a little leeway in days i can miss" but them bam servers dead

[languid bear]

Unless a lot of people ask for compensation to feedback, etc. They will not compensate...
The combination of candlerun's tiredness and server errors makes boredom and lethargy worse.
If they compensate, people will be comfortable and there will be more users who are loyal to TGC...

[mighty harness]

How on earth are we ever supposed to get seasonal event cosmetics and props? The tent is 90 candles. This is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for me to obtain. Now I see why hackers do what they do to get all those candles. I’m tired of not ever being able to even test these items because they cost too much and I can’t “buy” candles in beta

[vagrant fable]

The epitome of that problem to me is those dang masks

[sterile cobalt]

my phone has good battery but im terrible at playing on mobile and usually focus more on live, so i dont full cr on beta at all or sometimes even do one chevron lmao

[tulip flame]

L update for removing the items from last year

[vagrant fable]

Theyapparently (not sure if that's actually whats happening or not) have made shards more frequent in beta so we can get more AC to get them, but we still have to complete at least an entire constellation, and thus get a bunch of candles and hearts for it, which are very difficult to get
And again, grinding is not encouraged in beta

[tulip flame]

i guess my sky experience is ruined now 🤷

[sterile cobalt]

days of sunlight is different from days of summer/summer lights, thats probably why they removed the older items/they said theyd be re-added later with a different (not stated yet that i know of) event

[narrow current]

Anybody confused can also read this in depth message I wrote later

[languid bear]

Yes, even we do candlerun hard in beta from now on, we'll buy it when the event is almost over. This means less feedback...
However, we can test whether the price is reasonable while buying with beta candle run.
After all, it only reminds us that the price of the item is expensive.

[raw wasp]

I dont get why they seperated sunlight from summer at all. Now they gotta get rid of summer lights unless they seriously intend to cram EVERYTHING together in time, and I think Summer Lights deserves to be an event in its own right. Though maybe still later..

[narrow current]

I mean we obvs don't know their intention but what if summer lights and summer are being merged? They were already similar events by proxy

[vagrant fable]

Maybe because they wanted to add more stuff to Sunlight event but that would make it too much for a single event

[raw wasp]

I actually really don’t like that idea tbh….

[vagrant fable]

I just want my throne the sandcastle back

[tulip flame]

Does this affect the umbrella iap thing
Oh

[narrow current]

It will return later but not for days of sunlight

[raw wasp]

Like, esp with the bunny hat, i feel like the opportunity to theme it off the mid autumn festival is. Absolutely there if its already not somewhat intended to be that

To be fair then it shouldn’t be called summer lights but. Yeah i’d rather have it be a unique event on the grounds that Summer Lights has a lot of potential to be really interesting as its own thing instead of just, you know, being Days of Summer part 2

[autumn elk]

I do hope summer lights actually gets some proper content instead of just another IAP.

Like even just an interaction with NPCs.

Preferably id like an activity or an Igc cosmetic but something other than an event to sell an overpriced nightlight and a rabbit 🫤

[narrow current]

Tbh tgc picked a really weird time to add a new event cramed in between other 2 events that already existed and making one of them disappear for the time being. Doesn't help that at this moment communication is very scarce and it's just weird to pinpoint what they are doing, it doesn't rlly feel like there is a plan even though there might be one that they have

[raw wasp]

IGC summer lights item when

[vagrant fable]

Crab dev: goes traveling and can't explain to us what the heck is going on
Chaos ensues

[storm vessel]

May be we will have DoS - Day of Sunlight and DDoS Dual Day of Summers in Day of Summer Lights...

[sterile cobalt]

i used to love the summer lights lantern, i still do so i bought it but sometimes i wish they kept the feature of it lighting candles, idk how something simply being quality of life-ish and helpful in only a small handful of areas was overpowered for being able to light candles because it..has a fire...and fire lights things on fire........

[autumn elk]

Maybe summer/summerlights will be combined into a new event because having three events in two months seems very excessive

[agile hazel]

Ah Dual Days of Summer, DDoS started a few days ago in Live

[narrow current]

To add to this point if they intended sunlight to be a different event, using the skeleton of days of summer for the first build was a bad idea and this chat shows how much confusion it has brought

[gilded parrot]

Hey @narrow current, did you get enough sneep snorp today?

[autumn elk]

They are trying to keep people motivated in live to play because they know shattering is barebones and a grindfest so events are the way to go

[agile hazel]

I don't get what yall are confused about, update said that Summer isn't repeating

[sterile cobalt]

"shattering is too grind-y." *makes the event more expensive and thus more grind-y*
"perfect."

[storm vessel]

That's why I thought both might be put into Day of Summer Lights, unless they come up with a new event...

[vagrant fable]

Because at first they made it seem like the event had just been renamed, but now they went back on the decision and made them all separate events again, even if it isn't called Days of Summer anymore, the items will come back in a similar event later

[narrow current]

Well as you could imagine not everyone reads patch notes, some people aren't even testers and just see posts on Instagram and get confused etc. Not only that but the timing and the sudden rise of this third event was out of the blue. Leaving ppl confused entirely especially when the first build was using days of summer's overall layout

[sterile cobalt]

they just haven't specified the later

[opaque iris]

this is totally random and out of nowhere
I’ve read through #beta-faq a couple times or more idk
And I still can’t tell if I would need test flight installed before I click on an iOS invite (whenever such event would happen again) confusion

[vagrant fable]

I'd say install it just to be safe

[radiant drum]

If you click the iOS invite link, it prompts you to download TestFlight. So better to have that ready

[frank slate]

I think they thought it would be nicer to add the Assembly Guide and tent to this event, because the area in Sunny Forest already had that Assembly Treehouse vibe and the other spirits from that season were hanging out there. Who knows what features the next event will have? But they also wanted to rename the events because it’s not summer everywhere on the Earth right now. People who live in the Southern Hemisphere are in winter.

[agile hazel]

I don't see how clearer they can be with

Days of Summer is NOT repeating
You're all just spreading speculative ideas that does nothing but add to the confusion

[narrow current]

I explained it well enough not doing it again

[misty bone]

did anyone have issue receiving ac 1st time after doing shard event? me and my friend only manage to get the ac after 2nd round of shard event in jelly bay LPP

[radiant drum]

There’s always been some confusion since summer and summer lights were added for having very similar names, themes and being close together The many changes being made now just add to that

But it’s also always a good idea to hold back on speculation as many people do read this channel without a full understanding of what’s going on, which can also add to the confusion

[storm vessel]

I find that some times if you don't collect all the spirits that comes out after meditation in time, you don't get anything...

[misty bone]

we collected everything

[mighty harness]

Is TGC aware that when you try to use the teleport from the spirit at home the app crashes?

[vagrant fable]

We've been reporting that, yes
They haven't addressed it yet
The crashes, at least

[storm vessel]

iOS has that problem.

[misty bone]

might wanna bug report on that... tgc is aware that we will fall into oob.. #beta-known-issues

[mighty harness]

ok- so the summer event is completely gone now? Correct? Wasn’t it in the beginning area of the forest? So…that means I missed all that stuff that was offered before the last update??? All because I do not have enough candles?

[vagrant fable]

Everything that was a part of the previous Days of Summer event has been removed as of now, yes
The tent however, should still be in the Guides tree, since it's from the new Days of Sunlight event

Also no need to get all the chair props, since they all have basically the same function

[frank slate]

You will likely be able to purchase the former Days of Summer items at a later date.

From Sagomay’s Patch Notes:
7/15/22
Days of Sunlight
This build includes a rough (ya know, beta) version of an event that is new to Sky: Days of Sunlight. For this event in particular, we wanted to find a way to celebrate the unique experiences within the world of Sky. (I see you, Southern Hemisphere folks⛄)

⭐**NOTE:**Days of Summer is NOT repeating. However, items from last year’s event will be available—seek them in a little cave that may not be as abandoned as it first appears. Home has also been redecorated to make its outdoor spaces more festive!

🟡 Returning items from last year’s Days of Summer event will be removed from Days of Sunlight. We anticipate bringing them back for different event that will be tested for a later patch.

[mighty harness]

Well- I can’t even go to grandmas because the app crashes! This is ridiculous

[vagrant fable]

Unfortunately, that's beta, it crashes a lot and it's buggy and we just gotta deal with it

[shadow stratus]

Thats common, ios finally getting the android treatment

[spark lance]

do beta also get extended ts?

[shadow stratus]

Dont think so as its not priority

[trim spade]

I was thinking that too lol

[shadow stratus]

At least is most likely to get fix before hit live

[trim spade]

Do elder masks not flicker anymore? If they don’t I don’t feel like getting them at all lmao. Loved the semi-transparent look and was actually farming for them. If they are just a solid color then nah

[pulsar blade]

Kinda ask if the capeless thing is still under vault

[storm vessel]

It was last I went, this week.

[toxic cloak]

THE ROASTING MUSHROOM THING IS SO CUTE

[full blade]

Anyone going the ancestor table area in hidden forest and the game crash?

[gilded parrot]

[fading lake]

Do you know when the sky test suit will be invited again?

[coral cosmos]

they only send out invites when they need people to test. we don't know when new invites will be sent out. check #beta-faq for more information

[fading lake]

Is it normal to get 40 candles a day? 🕯️

[coral cosmos]

no, in beta the maximum amount of candles you can get in a day is 20

[fading lake]

thank yous

[spark lance]

only now that I realized that there was an update in the beta
Why TGC;!!!!

[fading lake]

What update? I didn't join the test suit yet. I cried.

[spark lance]

When beta test will be start? I want to play beta in my ipad :/

[gilded basin]

whenever tgc needs new testers

[spark lance]

i cant enter sunny forest ~~now i know how android players feel ~~

[ashen tusk]

I love beta
Test the days of sunlight event, sunny forest will crash your game though

[spark lance]

WHAT

[ashen tusk]

Everyday we suffer, everyday the bugs thrive

[zenith mist]

is it possible to have thousands of candles and hundreds of sc in beta? i saw someone with that many

[still socket]

Can any iOs players join Sunlight area ?
Anytime I teleport to there, my game crashes

[hollow compass]

Yes, absolutely. If the person didn't buy any seasonal cosmetics from Shattering they would have quite a lot by now. Similarly with regular candles, although we did have a candle wipe just before Shattering testing started

[coral cosmos]

technically it is possible to have more than a thousand candles in beta if someone were to grind to max every day since candles were reset, but i doubt many people have anywhere close to that much considering the amount of effort it takes and events/ts.
it is possible to have hundreds of seasonal candles though, since you can get 25 sc a day. i have around 700 rn

[zenith mist]

like.. four thousand candles? also they had some shattering cosmetics

[hollow compass]

it's really hard to say, but if you feel iffy about it you can report them

[coral cosmos]

definitely not four thousand. candles were reset may 23rd, 61 days ago. the highest possible candle count someone can have is 1420, and that's without spending anything since reset

[terse yarrow]

There are two possible ways, one is legitimate, one is illegal.
First one is you finish last season then go offf until they reset candle, then login and sc convert to regular candles.
Second is using 3rd app afk hacking.
I believe many of us have already had over 1k sc at this point.

[brittle cargo]

Will there be floating red stones ？

[radiant drum]

Sorry for the late ping, but you can read about the delay in the newest patch notes in the most recent post in #beta-announcements or the pinned messages in this channel— it also has a brief description of what’s included in the build until we get the full notes

[woeful obsidian]

I think they let the diamond stay at gate.. As daily quest guide. Like the spirit before. But now it has a function to go to the void.

[minor falcon]

I don't think that would make much sense, especially when the next season comes around

[languid bear]

Then, maybe there will be a shattering guide somewhere else after the season end...

[terse yarrow]

In eden definitely

[vast grail]

Or maybe not at all, like Sky’s first three four seasons

[stark yew]

those seasons didn't have season quests though like they do now, from what i've seen, so there wasn't much of a need to keep the guide around

[cinder bough]

When do y'all think days of sunlight will start on live ver?

[kindred fossil]

Someday

[steady pond]

you can be a little more specific than that. someday this year

[cinder bough]

No lmao i mean do y'all think it'll start uh the next month or is it too early?

[rustic leaf]

No one knows

[cinder bough]

Just an estimation tho cuz imma start saving money for the umbrella lmao

[kindred fossil]

The umbrella won’t be returning for DoSunlight though

[cinder bough]

WHAT?

[steady pond]

read the beta update posts and you'll find out why

[kindred fossil]

They’ll set to return for a different event, what & when is unknown

[cinder bough]

Oh 😭😭😭😭 😭 lmao i got so hyped over nothing, thanks for the info btw imma go check it out😭 😭

[shy ore]

Hooows it goin?

[quaint osprey]

beta testers, are there fish in the little lake in the new sunny forest ?

[copper scaffold]

Do you know how to feedback game problems on that channel?

[inland pier]

If it's a bug, so better to report in beta bugs. Well, for feedback here: #beta-feedback

[copper scaffold]

OK, thank you.

[sturdy wind]

may i ask why is the cotton candy appear in the music section but look grey in the place section ?

[kindred fossil]

You bought the previous version from the first build, it has been removed from the Shop but it’ll remain in your closet (for now...) The intended version is in the prop section

[stuck heart]

When is days of sunlight coming?

[sturdy wind]

ohh no wonder thanks for explaining QWQ

[kindred fossil]

We don’t know, it’ll eventually be announced in #news

[narrow lake]

good thing to keep in mind if you're lurking here

[thick spoke]

Hi just a question tho about the elder shield. How many times the shield will be totally broken or just one hit and it's done? (sorry about my bad English 😅)

[frank slate]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
(from kotoeri &, posted on 7/21)

Edit: Adding another video kotoeri &, posted on 7/23:
#beta-screenshots-videos message

But this of course might change. So far it sounds like the more expensive the elder shield is, the more damage it can withstand before it breaks and needs to be restored.

[keen arrow]

They delete the summer items from past year?

[cosmic orchid]

#beta-announcements
\[T]/

[frank slate]

You will likely be able to purchase the former Days of Summer items at a later date.

[keen arrow]

Ok thanks

I want that hat so much
I actually hope they will bring some new cosmetic its will look bored just with only camp

[cosmic orchid]

we're still in beta, nothing is final
there's a good chance that they'll add more

[steady pond]

im actually fine with nothing more than that, new kids already have so much to grind for lol, not to mention we'll have yet another summer event after this one

[shadow stratus]

Rlly hope they add a campfire to that snack kit

[kindred fossil]

In our wildest dreams

[dense crane]

Please don't worry, hun, the umbrella will very likely return, it will just take longer than first anticipated, TGC seems to be planning and preparing an event seperate from Days of Sunlight that will include the Days of Summer items :)

[hasty vessel]

Does anyone know if there’s it a pattern to the shard rewards for the week or is they are completely random? Like ac / normal candles and the amount of ac candles you can acquire for a week through the shard explosions or is the total different each week?

[shadow stratus]

Isnt the umbrella hidden on this ecent tho?

[tight phoenix]

Did TGC remove the krill protection use from the mario pipe prop?

[vagrant fable]

They seem to have removed the "complete damage reduction" of any prop you place in front of a krill, aka now no prop will make you immune to the full damage of a krill pounce

[upper gate]

To be honest since those "shield mask" are kinda floating it would be cool if those could be worn above usual and seasonal mask. Like hats on hair or decoration on chest. I don't think it whould cleap that much

[autumn elk]

Greeting shaman mask would like a word with you

[hollow compass]

all prophecy masks would like a word too

[noble mantle]

I really like the props but I am also still hoping for some summery cosmetic

[golden steppe]

Hi beta chat. Do you know why the new map shrines are not appearing? Somehow i went to the place and nothing was there (at least Prairie and Hidden Forest)

[languid bear]

Sagomay said"Map shrines are anticipated to be added to levels in builds either this week or early next week."
So map shrines maybe not yet added

[hollow compass]

They've not been added to the game yet. If you saw them somewhere, that was a hack

[nova bay]

What is meant by mapshrines btw? Will it be like shortcuts to season realms? Or is this a wafo thing XD

[shadow stratus]

Wafo yeah

[hollow compass]

We don't know yet.It could be just a map, it could be some teleport function

[unreal garden]

I'm new to beta and just have been seeing many players lately getting crazy amounts of candles. Where are they getting those from 🤣🤣 I see no options to puchase em.

[hollow compass]

Welcome to beta. How did you get it now?

[kindred fossil]

They’re playing a modded version of the game, hacking, running a script, etc… It’s not possible by legitimate means

[willow sorrel]

And you should report them if you can

[trim spade]

Report them they’re hackers

[halcyon raft]

Anyone else hoping that they keep the changes to the area around grandmas table. Like is that the plan???

[glass spoke]

i suppose they'll keep the treehouse and the decoration but not the spirits

[trim spade]

It’s most likely only for days of sunlight

[glass spoke]

i doubt they'd take off a whole treehouse
it looks great so why not let it stay sunny forest finally looks lively

[trim spade]

I hope the shrines will be shortcuts to realm shrines

[unreal garden]

I got on few weeks ago, but I go on android. And I have vision issue. Due to it being a small screen on phone I can't play much or test anything. I'm trying though. I am hoping to get on ios one so I can play on ipad. Because my android account is just existing, I decided I should try to play it a lil bit each day, even to just light ppl.

[trim spade]

Yeah the tree house will probably stay

[unreal garden]

I befriend one player who was doing that, I asked him. And he innocently said he is new, huawei platform and that he can see pass in option and it's free so he keeps clicking it.

[hollow compass]

If there is a new invite wave for iOS you can use the same account, by logging back in with your Android account

[willow sorrel]

I really hope they improve the textures on the treehouses, I’ve always thought they were really bland looking

[unreal garden]

Oh, I thought it would be separate account, thanks for letting me know. I have been thinking a new account will be created with ios. That's great news it would be too much to start rt from the beginning.

[halcyon raft]

I just made a suggestion in feedback to make the firepit in eden social area a social light location where players can meet friends or guides to assit them it eden or even quell their nerves before venturing past the gates.
What do you think?
Edit: thanks feel free to send feedback on it as well the more the merrier.

[vital crystal]

just noticed in kotoeri's elder mask vid -- crawling thingamajig didnt happen on dark water 👀

[limpid canyon]

Sorry to bother but i wanna know if Chuckling scout is in Sunny Forest in the updated ver, can't seem to find them

[halcyon raft]

Fun fact: the marshmellows will roast with any source of flame. This includes firepits (obviously), tourches, even the white candle on the grandmas table will roast the marshmellow. So long as there is gechnically fire the marshmellow will cook.

[lyric kite]

I noticed that too, even with the shared memory candles lol
I wonder if it would work if another player holds out their candle and you roast it on that

[halcyon raft]

Guys!?! I was eating marshmellows at grandmas table over her fire when i noticed my candle metor kept going up. THE MARCHMELLOWS WERE ACTUAL LIGHT I MADE A WHOLE CANDLE BY EATING MARSHMELLOWS!!!!!!
Edit: okay so the size of the marshmellow seems to matter when I eat it as soona s it is ready, i get nothing, if i eat it burnt i get nothing, but everytime i eat it when it it a little brown and the size of my sky kids head i get a single light.

[autumn elk]

I tested this it unfortunately doesn’t roast the marshmallow

[lone spindle]

Guys, i updated the game and there is a new marshmallows prop that's iap, but it isn't visible in shop... Does someone else have a similar issue?

[kindred fossil]

Huh?
There’s a disclaimer on the purchase screen for the kit that it doesn’t reward light

[topaz rover]

sounds like it's not supposed to but does anyway

[kindred fossil]

I mean, it sounds more like stowaway wax from Grandma’s dinner

[cursive tinsel]

Have they taken away the public marshmallow stand now from both sunny forest and home?
You can only roast marshmallows via IAP?

[topaz rover]

so the marshmallow could be pulling from grandma's wax pool?
does that mean you could reproduce a similar result over at the social lights firepits as well?

[kindred fossil]

No? That’s not what I meant at all

[spark lance]

Which props can shield you from Krill Attacks?

[autumn elk]

None fully protect you but some can take a certain level of damage.

ik the pipe can take enough that you dont lose wings if you have 10-11 wedges

[spark lance]

Damn I don't have the pipe

[fading lake]

Hello, how can I get the qualification to go to the test suit? I don't want to be cheated anymore. I didn't know that the test suit needed to be applied for through search. Once, I was cheated of money by black-hearted merchants on the Internet. They told me to give them money, and they could let me join SKy's test suit and cry😢

[chilly wigeon]

You have to wait for an invite they come on a as needed basis

[fading lake]

Okay, thank you, but I waited for a long time.

[chilly wigeon]

I guess you will just have to wait longer the invites come out on this discord

[solid sparrow]

Hellou

Who is also excited for the new season? ^^

[chilly wigeon]

What season the collab one

[solid sparrow]

What collab?

[chilly wigeon]

The collab season after shattering

[kindred fossil]

There’s no further official info regarding next season, please only refer to #beta-announcements & #news

[solid sparrow]

Oh okay

This server is kinda dead

[chilly wigeon]

It's just the beta channels that are dead till an updoot comes out

[solid sparrow]

Ok

[vagrant fable]

I wonder how people who just join the server end up in the Bata channels first of all places

Also so is the new roasting kit a new shoulder turtle situation? As in we can't get the new version if we have the single stick one?

[chilly wigeon]

Yes

Why do people never read the beta faq

[vagrant fable]

Truly, a question for the ages
Although some don't because they don't speak English very well, but the ones who do, no idea

[topaz rover]

i was just asking your opinion for the sake of discussion, not assuming your stance on that, don't worry about it xD
regardless, since it's not suposed to give wax so it doesn't matter

[noble radish]

Hello, Where are the shards today?

[spark lance]

Same as in Live, in Sanctuary Islands

[high charm]

did they take the wl out of the whale memory? I can't seem to find it

[coral cosmos]

it should still be there, there was no mention of taking it out in the updates.

[shadow stratus]

Hermit valley is so messed up rn lmao why are there two eden mountains

[spark lance]

I haven't went through Eden yet in beta but I was curious if the elder masks are permanent cosmetics? Or is a case of if they break you have to recollect/buy them from orbit?

[shadow stratus]

Permanent, if the shield breaks you need to go to their respective temple

[chrome ferry]

god, imagine paying 250AC everytime you tank a krill bonk. what a nightmare

[coral cosmos]

eden 2, sequel to eden: you die twice as hard on this one

[trim zenith]

Oh, my God, I haven't issued the test suit qualification for more than four months. It is supposed to be open in three or four months...😓

[plush marsh]

You got me questioning myself when they didnt even say anything about it yet

[opaque iris]

Eden 2 electric boogaloo you do this and you are a full on moth again

[cursive onyx]

So has the method by which to relive memories been defined? I cannot get back to the 2nd memory for the wing. No idea how. I’m exhausted by how clumsy this season is.

[lilac solstice]

There is no specific time period they open beta invites. It's issued when the devs need more testers. It could be tomorrow, or it could be 3 months from now

[plush marsh]

let me hope its before the season or something i need it on my ios android quality is dying

[ancient pike]

How many days left in Season of Shattering for you guys?

Ping me with response.

[coral cosmos]

the counter says 7 days but there's always the possibility it will be extended

[plush marsh]

It still feels like a wip. Hope it'll be extended atleast to fix some stuff

[viscid sundial]

They probably won't change anything

[cursive onyx]

They’ve been changing stuff constantly. This whole season seems to be a perpetual WIP

[viscid sundial]

True, I meant moreso like.. they won't change anything we've sent feedback on

[coral cosmos]

honestly i think that's just how the season is going to be. it's been in development for months and nothing really has changed since it was introduced, and it's already too late to do any extreme changes at this point (it's already in live and nearly over in beta -- there's also the next season to test). it's just a repetitive, lackluster season.
i just hope the next one will be better.

[cursive onyx]

Sadly, you’re prolly right.

[viscid sundial]

I'm looking forward to the next season but I'm also worried, with how badly this one went (and is going in live)

[spark lance]

Shattering is just. Bleh

[muted depot]

I went to check the previous eligibility time, which is about every three to four months, or even longer. There may be some people who have joined the test suit through improper means. I hope TGC can remove these people from the test suit.

[coral cosmos]

there's also the whole collab aspect to it as well. we don't even know the specifics or anything about it yet, and it will be the last season of the year once shattering is over.
i think shattering is just kind of a lull between higher-concept seasons, performance was full of energy and i think the collab season will have much more thought put into it. shattering introduces some new mechanics but isn't worked on much and sees little change, while other seasons seem to have much more of a storyline and plot to them

[trim zenith]

I also think most of them are Chinese players.

[carmine panther]

where is the shard(s) today? im in sanctuary and the sky has been red but i see no shards (i have been here for 10 minutes meaning AFTER the shard fell)

[gilded parrot]

Beta testers' feedback is very important for TGC to create a good player experience! Please try searching for things yourself when possible, and remember to submit your thoughts in #beta-feedback so the devs know how to improve after getting an answer here Remember to read all of #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues too in case it's mentioned there!

[ancient pike]

Why do you guys hate theSeason of Shattering so much? Give me some actual, valid reasons.
I don’t want JUST “It’s hard.”, I want to know WHY you think it’s hard.

[placid iron]

tbh i actually really enjoy this season, it lets me pass the time when I'm bored

[plucky hearth]

Particularly I dislike how the crunchy crawling mechanic works. Four times now I've seen my winged light get rended from my body, and I've been disabled for reaching it because a cutscene has prevented me from crawling toward it or changed the direction I'm crawling in. When you're growing crystals you don't have time to turn around.

[celest zodiac]

so I bought the IAP Campire Snack Kit which is "marshmallow stick" from the last updated, Then I just updated my Beta and I saw people's videos on YouTube there is a new IAP "marshmallow sticks" with new design but after I checked there's nothing in my shop

[carmine panther]

i can list my personal reasons

1. it feels unfinished despite the supposed 'second half' coming, because honestly, where can we go when the season ends? i mean for the void, because so far we can only get there by the qg shard and by memories which another similar shard comes with. theres also the fact that theres still multiple bugs (in live) where people cant complete the quests. and why do we have memories instead of cutscenes? memories seem cool and all but theres nothing being added without cutscenes, it doesnt feel fun and it doesnt give us much of a glimpse of whats happening, it only gives us assumptions, and im not saying to remove them but they could at least put a cutscene and THEN put us in the memory?
2. devs have mostly ignored anything we say regarding it and have changed almost nothing, this season feels like it hasnt even been thought out properly, i get it has its errors in the beginning like every season but many of those errors have been carried into live even when we have spoke up about it and sent our thoughts to feedback, weve felt ignored for so long about it
3. the crawling. its such a pain and you cant even get any, maybe one, winged light back after losing them if youre alone, it gives an unfair advantage to those in groups, not to mention during the shards if youre alone you will literally get demolished by the crabs. i have lost well over 10 wl in ONE shard event (i have around 120-130)
4. yes, it is difficult, i will say this, and again, its mostly the shard events but take into consideration: eden. in live i have about 170 wl and i cant even get the last few after the dunes when i used to get ALL of them with a remaining of 20 or 30 wl. and they say its supposed to 'give advantage to older players', then whats with that? you basically have to have 12 wing levels to get all statues
   .
   theres plenty more but im not going to spam this chat and this is really all i can think of currently

[gilded parrot]

[carmine panther]

people that already have the marshmallow stick dont have the updated version, i personally dont know why but if you havent gotten it then youll be able to get the shared one, if you did get it, it doesnt change to the shared one

[celest zodiac]

okaay T^T)

[shadow stratus]

I like it tbh, ppl complain about the crawling but i think its a great change, it actually makes taking damage more serious

[storm vessel]

They reduced at amount of damage from Eden crabs and shards now though. I think it's just about right.

[honest lily]

It feels more like a grandma event that's stretched for 3 months

[carmine panther]

that too, and at least they fixed eden to some extent which i am happy about

[storm vessel]

Most people I talked to in live said that red shards are fun...

[sullen relic]

The direct damage from the crystal crabs isn't the main problem I get from them: it's the fact that they can chain their attacks and can't really be stopped, which makes them particularly troublesome if they manage to knock you into a vibrating crystal since that puts you into a crawl state with a long recovery time

[carmine panther]

to me, because i dont mind losing wl in live, they can be in groups, me and my friends sometimes do them for fun and watch each other get knocked around by crabs, but without friends its boring and sometimes stressful

[zenith mist]

crawling seems alright until you and the only other person youre with starts crawling.. and theres no flames in sight to relight yourself.. and youre constantly being bombarded by crabs.. and you cant crawl fast enough to get yourself out of the situation

[carmine panther]

this is exactly what im talking about with the crabs and the crawling and why i say people in groups have an unfair advantage, like yes its supposed to be about teamwork but at least make it possible for solo players, its not easy to get a group of friends

[zenith mist]

its also just super frustrating to do the last part of eden. ive done eden god knows how many times, i can do everything up to the rock rain perfectly, and ive gotten pretty much every statue every time for months. but now with crawling i miss them solely because i just cannot crawl to them fast enough, while im constantly losing wl at a ridiculous speed

[storm vessel]

It's possible soloing until they added the floating shards but I think it's still possible if you drink restore potions...

[carmine panther]

im in the same part with this, i always love doing eden but the crawling makes me not want to do it unless i have friends with me

[zenith mist]

i dont think ppl should have to spend candles or more ac just to complete shards

[sullen relic]

restore potions cost AC, which somewhat defeats the purpose of doing the red shards if you're spending more than you get back for doing them

[storm vessel]

Can't you drink restore potions when you are crawling?

[storm vessel]

You can buy restore potions with normal white candles.

[sullen relic]

which i can't say i feel much better about either considering the pressure already exerted on white candles by travelling spirits and periodic events

[carmine panther]

theres also the people that struggle to save and struggle to get candles every day

[zenith mist]

cant wait to spend some of the few candles i can make a day for my daily allowance of Two Ascended Candles

[shadow stratus]

I think the changes that are left to do in eden is to bring the very last statue back, because that one you need 170~180 wings to reach, and some new instances of cover they added that are very weird and sometimes rocks go trough then

[storm vessel]

It's only 5 for 2 , I think

[zenith mist]

a lot of the cover spaces are definitely broken, not even just in the rock rain. theres one specific rock that was my favorite to hide behind and take a break and now it doesnt shield me at all. idk if its bc im too tall or what

[sullen relic]

One other thought about having the idea of red shards balanced around the idea of having players do them in groups: full server splits still seem to happen periodically in this game, which would effectively force everyone into a solo instance when you get the orange connectivity error (had that happen to me twice yesterday while doing one shard event )

[shadow stratus]

The cover was always wack tho, one of the first statues at the wall corner was really annoying to get just because getting protection back there was weird

[fading lake]

Guys, is this the SKy test server channel?

[sullen relic]

5 candles is at least 25% of your possible daily income (assuming you're spending close to 2 hours to farm down to grey candle), that's much too high a margin for my liking for two consumables that can be wiped out within seconds from just one bad crab knock -- I don't consider that cheap

[coral cosmos]

to me it just feels unfinished and very lackluster. it has a lot of potential and could have been something really good, but it just fails to live up to it.
the quests are repetitive and have little payoff — burn darkness around shards, view a static memory, leave. it's the same method each time with the same results, it just feels very boring.
the shard events are stacked against new and solo players — crystal crabs attack frequently and are hard for me to see against the harsh red lighting from crystals along with the pink fog in some areas. i've seen new players get their light knocked out of them over and over again, and struggle with the activity as a whole. it's easier for some people to complete, and that's fine!, but not everyone has the same experience with the shards. for me they are difficult to complete and time-consuming, and as a solo player, it's much more challenging for me to complete. not to mention the reward, two to four ascended candles are hardly worth the effort to me.
i am a big fan of lore, and as the first eden-focused season, shattering could have been a huge lore dump. instead, the only thing that really stands out against everything else is the elder memory, and that's just a grain of lore. other people may read more into what lies between the lines and find something in the other memories, but to me it's just nothing special.
shattering brings with it the damage mechanics; crawling makes eden more difficult if you get your light knocked out of you early and you're alone there's basically no recovery unless you go home or use a recharge potion. if multiple wl are lost, there's less time to gather them if you're crawling slowly towards them. eden is way more challenging for newer players, especially with the heavy winds. i've seen several moths leave because they can't cross the gap in the first area.

shattering is just. a mess in my opinion. apologies for the huge text wall

[zenith mist]

i usually go into shards w a friend piggybacking for the recharge and i think that makes it harder for us to merge w other ppl. since theyre piggybacking ive pretty much done most of the shards solo

[pliant gyro]

none

[zenith mist]

the elder memory, the best piece of lore we get in the whole season, isnt even new right? isnt it from an old oob?

[storm vessel]

Usually there is restore point near by as well, you just need to look for them.

[coral cosmos]

yeah, it's from an old light awaits oob. the assets are even reused and scaled up and they needed to add forest elder in post.

[zenith mist]

yes let me crawl very very very slowly to the lantern across the map while 15 crabs constantly ram themselves into my limp body

[prime void]

It might seem easy to some experienced old players but it’s just not friendly at all for moths (and many average players I believe)

[storm vessel]

Well if you are in that kind of situation then may be use a potion?

[sullen relic]

The elder memory being a reused asset doesn't exactly bother me -- it's more the fact that the presentation feels oddly underwhelming compared to how it was found before (hidden out of bounds within a dangerous map, so it felt like a hidden conspiracy rather than "look, abstract lore for interpretation!")

[weak pebble]

I hope they bring back the props for summer event and make new ones for the new upcoming challenge TGC is preparing

That way newer player dont have to work harder than vet did to get the summer props

And the vet dont have to do the upcoming challenge to get props they already have

[coral cosmos]

not everyone may have a potion on hand. i've had to use a ton of them myself, i will run out eventually

[shadow stratus]

I never really got attacked by any crab while without light, i wonder if them attacking is a bug, pretty sure they werent meant to

[zenith mist]

my issue with the elder memory being a reused asset is that it's pretty much the only good piece of lore we get in this season and it isnt even new. this season is just nothing. its total filler

[languid bear]

Shattering had a lot of potential... As there aren't many seasons related to eden, it's just too sad.

[zenith mist]

shattering is nothing more than a glorified days of event honestly. its like if we had an entire season revolving around the new turtle event. its boring. cant say any of this in feedback though, or else itll get completely disregarded and thrown out 🙃

[prime void]

It feels rushed and unfinished

[ancient pike]

I don’t mind the large textwall.

But why did you leave on ping? 🔥👄🔥

[sullen relic]

I'd be a bit more open to the "use a restore potion" suggestion if the shard events weren't so relentless with the attacks: a restore potion after a krill makes more sense because the same krill won't attack you again for just long enough for you to recover and get back to a safe spot -- this isn't really the same with the shard events from what I've found so far, since you need to actively put yourself back in danger to continue the event (and thus have a higher risk of using up more consumables which cost currency, back-to-back)

[coral cosmos]

omg im so sorry i usually turn it off

[topaz rover]

i love the vibe of shattering, but i was really expecting a little bit more in terms of variety and rewards...

[fading lake]

Friends, which of you can tell me when we will be invited into the sky again?

[storm vessel]

Well, I haven't used any myself. I'm just suggesting a way out of the situation for you.

[lilac solstice]

There's no set time that beta invites will be open.

[prime void]

It’s random, we don’t really know

[sullen relic]

None of us, I'm afraid -- only the devs know when they'll be doing another invite wave, and they specifically don't tell us when they'll be doing one beforehand so that people don't just camp here waiting for invites

[shadow stratus]

They seem to be making a big deal of the next season, i wouldnt doubt they make a new invite wave once the time comes, recommend keeping a look at

[fading lake]

Haha, okay, I understand. Thank you. Love you.

[fading lake]

thank you

[topaz rover]

also to anyone who needs it, if you get below half you total light meter, don't feels shame in bailing temporarily to go hug some clouds or a seasonal guide nearby in many cases (though not always obviously)
it's better to stay lit even if it makes you lose some time, the event stays active for a while so don't worry too much about it

[shadow stratus]

Thats the main strat that turn all shards in to easy mode

[storm vessel]

That's what I do as well

[lilac solstice]

Personally I don't hate the season. It has a lot of good aspects to it. The cosmetics are nice, the seasonal area is pretty, the music and the animations for the shards are wonderful. The problem for me is how lack luster the quests feel. They're just the same quest, incredibly repetitive. It feels boring for me. I didn't like abyss, but at least the quests were really exciting, exploring deep underwater in a flooded facility.

[languid bear]

If TGC heard a bad opinion of shattering, I hope TGC won't repeat that shattering's mistake in next season or the next of next season.

[storm vessel]

Not sure about that, I report solo possible and they increased the difficulty 😂

[shadow stratus]

I do like this season as well, its not horrible, the lighting changes are cool and stuff, the shards are a challange and there is actual shards that people that are new can complete as well.
The void rooms are cool too, i dont think this season is comparable to an "days of anything", there was effort put into it, it just didnt appeal to a bunch of ppl.
Ofc i do gotta say that 3.5 as a max reward is kinda meh, its not 4 as people say, it is 3.5
Also im pretty sure the unburnable plants issue is fixed in live so thats fine too

[topaz rover]

yeah, you get 4 candles if you have AC leftovers, took me a bit to notice that was the case lol
(which is a bit low but it's better than nothing™️)

[lilac solstice]

Mmhm and thats the thing here. Not every season is gonna appeal to everyone. Though I'd say it's much better with all the bugs fixed. The shard event is kinda fun now, I just find it boring to do for every quest

[shadow stratus]

Oh yeah and i think the major cons is the lighting issues. And the shard timing changing every single day, is something that makes me think "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??"

I think 2 AC for the red shards that have no red crabs is a very nice reward considering you are just having the wasteland experience of flipping crabs and burning plants

[topaz rover]

the jank is really bringing a lot of the steam off of the events
shards falling over and over again, darkness popping back up or not burning for extended periods of time etc

[lilac solstice]

Yeah the bugs were what originally killed it for me. I'm glad they fixed a good amount at least

[coral cosmos]

it's like. compared to previous seasons, shattering feels like the earlier seasons before tgc started branching out with quests and storylines. enchantment and sanctuary had the same "go to this location. collect the thing. go back and collect rewards from guide" sort of deal. sanct at least had cutscenes. shattering fits in with that same method, compared to dreams and forward. since dreams, there have been some variety of quests that give more than just fetch quests. they have emotion in them that get you invested in them. performance was by far my favorite season, it was fun and i was actually sad when it ended. shattering doesn't evoke that same emotion, i hold no real feeling towards the season at all.

[shadow stratus]

I just wish we had an switch to turn off or on the stuff, i really wanted to see eden exploding more, explore more the stuff while its all red

[topaz rover]

since several shards seems to fall out of eden every eruption, it's possible they envisioned to have every realms to be hit at once with possibly only one of them (being the daily quest realm) having the red ones

but that maybe would've been way too much to handle

but it begs the question, what happens to the shards falling outside of the daily realm, do they just disapear on their own or what

[shadow stratus]

No idea but i am still surprised that the two shards per day was just for testing purposes

[soft rose]

I don't, I find it a fresh new take on a season. But since I'm not beta, I haven't seen everything, so take what I say with a grain of salt. This reminds me a lot of and to a lesser extent. I remember the insane drama that took place during those seasons, but over time they grew to be extremely popular

[smoky trench]

i agree sorta as someone who really wanted a more gameplay heavy season than just watch cutscene and fetch an item, sos has been different enough that it feels like a nice refresher, i am a bit disappointed when it comes to like the quest and just lack of set up for eden errupting but i think its cool that tgc are testing the waters for seasons in general even if i disagree with the way its done a bit.

[shadow stratus]

Tbh every season generates drama here in beta 💀 some more than others

[steady pond]

its because we dont get a conclusion/a way to stop the eruptions (due to TGC wanting this to be a permanent event to obtain AC), that i think shattering is just a setup for something bigger. maybe im hyping myself up for nothing, but in the future we'll probably eventually have a season thats actually About eden that'll link itself to shattering, and it'll actually be good. ||maximum cope||

[shadow stratus]

I know that during LP times it was just like what people are feeling now, wich is the feel of feedback not being heard

[steady pond]

looooool TLP is beloved now but i remember when people were complaining about TLP cutscenes because there was dialogue in them and sky cutscenes previously didnt have any dialogue. and someone came to argue saying the english TLP uses is too "weird and grammatically wrong"

[shadow stratus]

Not really on part of the season i mean, we had the august patch after a whole month without beta update or something, there was tons and tons of bugs

[topaz rover]

i'm keeping hope that more "memories" could be added over time after the season ends, like a somewhat continuous thing, who knows...

[chilly wigeon]

Did enchantment ever have any controversy really I forgot it seemed just well received

[steady pond]

yeah, people were sick of the quests because they were "go x location to fetch light", but the ark transformation was highly praised

i was gonna edit my message to include that but ⬇️ LMAO yeah i remember that. although it was a minority issue, there were lots who were in support of sky having real world influences for design

[topaz rover]

not sure about when it came out but i heard people diss it for bringing middle east-esque cosmetics because they're derivative from real world cultures
i might be mistaking the names here hold up xD (yeah no i got it right )
idk, i just really like how the spirits looked

[fringe light]

I wonder if any Androiders had received the marshmallow skewer rak?

I search it everywhere included the office yet no tracks about it 🫠

[chilly wigeon]

I did see some people saying sky does cultural appropriaten with some of their items now I'm kinda worried about what I wear sometimes

[topaz rover]

gives the appropriate people stuff they might enjoy/represent them, but what do i know

[soft rose]

nobody should forget the horrors that were Sunglasses discussions in Sanctuary

[shadow stratus]

I have no idea about these

[topaz rover]

we don't talk about this

[chilly wigeon]

I remember participating in those convos and people sending feedback to try to get them removed

[topaz rover]

having a santa cape: fine
sunglasses: now hold the honk up...!

[shadow stratus]

I think performance also generated a lot of drama with the iaps, but it was extremely fair since they literally made a room where you could test all the instruments in the game, i think most of the issue was with the ult reskins that they took off and only let the handpan

Also what was wrong with the sunglasses?

[chilly wigeon]

They said they were to modern for sky

[topaz rover]

allegedly, they don't respect the lore because glass doesn't exist

[timid bough]

not again

[soft rose]

Sky is modern, though, and sunglasses are medieval, and the real world technology doesn't correlate with the Sky world, and sunglasses used to be made with rocks, and this whole argument is dumb, tgc is dumb in responding to it, it was all dumb

[topaz rover]

TLDR: if the devs decide it's a thing, then it's a thing

[shadow stratus]

I think these people would go total crazy if they saw the eletric guitar

[soft rose]

not only that, but all facets of the lore approve sunglasses. you'd have to make a bad argument that involves listing every item as too modern

[topaz rover]

i mean, a season is pretty dang good if the only criticism is a pair of sunglasses, all things considered

[drowsy island]

this is the same season that has a body suit 👀

[steady pond]

[shadow stratus]

Dreams and Prophecy didnt generated any drama in beta at all not that i remember
(In beta so the hat stuff isnt part of it)

[soft rose]

these are like ancient memories to me

ah, come closer kiddos I'm gonna tell you of the horror that is TLP drama

[chilly wigeon]

I liked how it brought some new variations of mantas

[simple coyote]

LOL I REMEMBER THAT

[steady pond]

prophecy had a little bit during fire trials creation. the first version was way too hard so they had to tone it down

i think there were complaints about how the cosmetics were all ugly and they were gonna skip the season but in the end prophecy is pretty well liked now

[shadow stratus]

TLP as a whole is something that i want to forget because really the situation the game was at that time for android users and everyone in general was not cool

[topaz rover]

from what i recall from that time people really didn't like the trials much because they were hard but i can't testify on the account i wasn't around to see it for myself

[chilly wigeon]

I kinda wanna know what happened with tlp

[simple coyote]

it's kinda funny seeing that the sunglasses became really popular even though they "didn't fit in sky" or whatever that argument was

[soft rose]

Prophecy was complained about a lore more in live, with some saying that platforming challenges didn't fit sky (???) and that they were generally too hard

[shadow stratus]

3 broken patches in a row happened 💀
To be fair, it was nintendo switch release, i honestly expected something like that to happen. You either were a IOS user or you were likely struggling in the game

[simple coyote]

but let's not forget the prophecy floor is lava and new area not being accessible for a whilee

[topaz rover]

floor is lava
what's that about

[chilly wigeon]

I remember when I joined beta there was a glitch making it so no one new could get past isle

[steady pond]

we sound like a bunch of grandmas this is so funny. strolling down the beta memory lane

[simple coyote]

in the beginning of season of prophecy testing, whenever you entered the game the cutscene for that season would play, as usually.

the problem was that, that certain cutscene was glitched and would crash your game if you watched it, and the only way to avoid it was to fly AS SOON as the game opened and straight to hidden forest, and you couldn't go back home because if you did you'd be softlocked into the cutscene, which would make your game crash

so, we basically played the home floor is lava for a while before it was patched, good times

btw if anyone wants to see what the bug looked like I pinged a video on #beta-screenshots-videos

[steady pond]

tbh my favourite "start of season bug" has still got to be dreams and the teleport chain we had to do to start beta testing the season

[topaz rover]

that's crazy xD

[simple coyote]

OH YEA THAT WAS FUNNY

[chilly wigeon]

What was that

[topaz rover]

beta testers: game broken?
no worries, we'll find a way

[chilly wigeon]

I could have done prophecy testing but I got a single hairstyle from it and quit for some reason

[coral cosmos]

my favorite "start of the season bug" was at the start of performance and chat was broken and everyone could see every message. was fun just to go places and talk to people

[storm vessel]

Current date of Sky could be in the future. And you can have both ancient spirits and recent spirits returning?

[steady pond]

when dreams started on beta no one could enter the village through normal means because the entrance was blocked.
people found out, however, that if you teleported to a friend who was watching the season cutscene, you would end up in dreams village, so #beta-looking-for-group had a bunch of people who offered to let you warp there by taking QR codes and then sitting in the village.
it was really nice, lol a small spirit of community

i wonder how vault and valley masks will look like if there will be some Eden crown is still forgotten till this day

[fading lake]

I want to go to the test suit. My baby hasn't been in yet. Which of you can help me? I can show you my picture.

[zenith mist]

your baby.....?

[spark lance]

Read #beta-faq .

[chilly wigeon]

We have told you that you gotta wait for a invite

[spark lance]

you have asked this like 5 times now

[gentle hornet]

Has anyone else experienced crashes while trying to go to uhh Sunny forest? I forget the name (where grandma lives)

[coral cosmos]

ios users crash at sunny forest yeah

[hasty vessel]

I really hope the team introduce all the elder masks at once unlike the tier two capes. Give us the opportunity to pick and choose which masks we want to aim for from the get go. I don’t like the idea of them having 3 now and the other three later which are presumably more powerful and offer greater protection

[tropic radish]

Man I'm glad we can outfly krills

[carmine thorn]

Not me holding onto a stash of 150 hearts for over a year waiting for Black Tier 2 to release. Yes, please release them all at the same time.

[tropic radish]

Well, the gradual release does give an illusion that they "cost less". I wouldn't mind it
But then again, since they have varied strength, maybe it's good if TGC would announce it that ALL the elders will have shield masks if they plan to stagger the releases. That way people can plan what they REALLY wanna buy

[fading lake]

Can the tent in the sunshine protect me from the raindrops in the rainforest?

[scenic tide]

What's all cosmetics for now in Days of Summer

[ashen tusk]

insert squidward looking out his window at everyone having a great time meme
I'm glad some of you are able to enjoy sunlight event, hell shards and all, I still can't get into sunny forest without crashing

[woeful obsidian]

Anyway... Other topic.. I want that the spirits stay after summer event. It makes the granny time so much funnier... And i hope that the jellybaby stays too.

And what about the home space? Where is the sandcastle?

[gilded parrot]

Reminder that if you are struggling to find something, please remember to submit it in #beta-feedback after asking here, as that feedback is very valuable for TGC and can help many players in Live! Make sure to check #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues as well

[chrome cypress]

I think they take it out with other summer items too for another event we ll gonna test later

[prime void]

Is there any way for those who have the single picnic set to get the shared version (with the rack)?

😭ok, thanks

[chrome cypress]

I think is impossible, like was for the people who bought the lil turtle when was a head accessory😥

[ashen tusk]

I sent feedback and it just disappeared

[kindred fossil]

You didn’t get a confirmation message? You could check in with a mod

[ashen tusk]

No it just vanished into the ether, I've messaged mod channel so I'll find out if I used a filtered word or something by accident

[cinder wing]

Hi
I have question
The days Of sunlight it will start with assembly guide or days of saunter guide

[kindred fossil]

Days of Summer is no longer related to DoSunlight

[tall hornet]

Can we please have a bonfire prop for Days of Sunlight? Uwu. 🥺👉👈 I miss doing shards in beta but hard pass if it's in Sunny Forest. My experience there was traumatic.

[hasty vessel]

Hey can someone please explain the shard ac reward system to me please or direct me to somewhere where it may have already been explained?

I was under the impression that the shard explosions varied in difficulty and the amount of ACs we acquire from them is based on the groups performance during the process of removing the corruption? Does this system also correlate to the shard explosions in live as well? People in live are saying that the shard event today was 2.5 ac candles when me and my friend clearly got 3.5? They also mentioned that 3.5 is the max when in live a few days ago I got 4 in sanctuary.

Please ping me

[trim spade]

I can’t even visit the shard in sunny forest, the red light makes me sick. Cant even visit grandma when the shard is there

[trim spade]

Yeah you get 4 candles when there’s wax left over from the precious time. In live you get 3.5 always no matter how many ppl are with you or the difficulty. In beta the amount used to depend on how many people are with you, but it may no longer be the case. In the next update they may give more ac depending on the difficulty

[hasty vessel]

Sorry what do you mean by “wax left over”?

If that is the case about players getting 3.5 no matter what then why did the majority of players get 2.5 today when I got 3.5?

I’m even more confused than before

[kindred fossil]

Wax leftover is from how full the AC meter is, if the max event is 2.5 today and you had 0.75 leftover on the meter it’s going to look like you’ve forged 3, whereas someone with 0.25 leftover is going to look like they’ve forged 2
You’re both are forging the exact same amount it’s just rather confusing visually

It’s a bit of a nightmare to understand & explain on a daily basis

[hasty vessel]

Thank you but it’s still not adding up for me my ac meter definitely looked like 338.5 and then after the event it went to 342 and the meter was completely full, I’m sorry for making you explain it again

[shadow stratus]

I dont think its that bad to understand tho, but im used to the 15.75 in eden so i dont rlly know

[hasty vessel]

It’s probably not that hard to grasp but there hasn’t been a clear explanation as to how the reward system is calculated especially as it’s now different in live to how it was in beta

[trim spade]

I’m not sure what your question is. The ac or any candle or heart can be half full, quarter etc. so if it’s half full and you get 3.5 candles, you get one extra candle because you had half and the shard gave you half

[kindred fossil]

I forged 3 today because my meter was at 0.75, I have 100% the event so the max I’ve gotten is 2.5, I’m not too sure then

[trim spade]

We’re there other people with you?

[late sonnet]

From my experience in live, the amount of wax given is related to the shard difficulty where the 2.5 AC is when red and normal crabs appear
3.5 is all red crabs

[kindred fossil]

Yes

[trim spade]

Beta may still give less if there are others helping

[kindred fossil]

I’m speaking of live

[hasty vessel]

You are correct I got 4 candles when turning in my wax because I got 3.5 from the event. But if I got 3.5 from the event how are other players saying that they only got 2.5?

[trim spade]

Ohhh then perhaps what cy said is what’s happening

[kindred fossil]

Do you have screenshots of before & after?

[trim spade]

Same event? Then that sounds like a bug

[late sonnet]

Which realm was it in live btw for the 3.5 and 2.5 difference

[hasty vessel]

Yeah it was today’s shard event in live, i don’t have any screenshots but I know what .75 looks like compared to .5 I’m going to monitor it over the next week

[kindred fossil]

I’m not sure if the incorrect amount of AC being rewarded has been patched

[late sonnet]

Which device did you play on for live btw

Cuz I got 3 candles due to the .75 difference because I got 2.5 AC

[hasty vessel]

Ipad pro 2018

[late sonnet]

Huh same as me

[hasty vessel]

Some players in gen chat even mentioned getting 4.5 acs from todays event in live but I’m not sure i believe that. I’m going to video record it next week and see what i come back with

[agile hazel]

Just to be clear since no-one has mentioned it yet. You got 3.5 AC from the forest temple shard in Live today?

[hasty vessel]

It went from 338.5 to 342 (full meter)

Edit: sorry typo

[late sonnet]

I wasn't fully paying attention to how much AC I had before it but it felt like 2.5 to me

[kindred fossil]

Okay so, my event was desynced in live earlier, I’m not sure if it’s another platform different issue, are you & your friends all on the same platform?

[shadow stratus]

I got 2.5 on the temple shard today, and it was weird because we had to collect some extra fragments even tho the progress metter was full

[agile hazel]

Yeah the meter was broken. Went from 66.5 to 69

[hasty vessel]

No my friend is using an iphone both ios

[kindred fossil]

So you’re both iOS is what I meant, I was with 2 strangers earlier so I’m not too sure

[hasty vessel]

Thanks everyone, i’m going to keep an eye on things and see how it goes

[shadow stratus]

I wonder if the random AC number that some times goes (3.25, 2.75) and when ppl start saying they got different, is due to an bug with the amount of light fragment collected, because often to me these end without me collecting all, either the metter is full and dont let me collect the rest, or the activity end without enough fragments to fill the metter

[kindred fossil]

The shard today we all started at the same time, we all were waiting for the shard to land, but some for reason it was desynced & I couldn’t burn anything

[trim spade]

Anyone else think the elder masks looked much cooler before?

[kindred fossil]

No ❤️

[cosmic orchid]

you mean the non stop jittering and fading in and out?
no thanks

[timid bough]

it looks cool in a gimmicky way but its really annoying imo

[wheat pumice]

The shards in Hidden Forest is so difficult that my sky kids swirling all around.. shard crabs keep bumping me, flying shards keeps me twirl, ground shards keep passing me to one shard to another. Like.. its the most hardcore that I felt in my entire life playing sky, so far.

[misty bone]

hidden forest after temple is almost impossible alone.. especially when you need to burn away the darkness

[misty bone]

.-. so frustrating for grandma shard ....

[gray furnace]

What do the flying shards do? Do they act like the big oof ouchie oneshot rocks?

[carmine panther]

they disable piggy and handhold, they kinda throw you back a little but not much and they deal one wedge of damage

[gray furnace]

Seems pretty alright then, as long as they don't hit players on the ground

[carmine panther]

theyre also difficult to get hit by because i was actively flying at them to test what they did (i record this information to help people) and it took 5 minutes to get hit by ONE
as a whole they dont seem that big of a deal to me

[kindred bronze]

why am i meeting so many moths in wasteland lobby today? are the invites open

[grand pollen]

I def bring a light recharge accessory when I’m doing harder shard quests. Also is anyone else crashing whenever they enter forest brook? :’l

[kindred bronze]

yeah i can’t enter sunny forest without crashing

[misty bone]

you can check #beta-signup-info , there is none from what I know. Might be server connection issues that make them look like moth or newly made accounts .-.

[kindred bronze]

i had a conversation with one of them, and they just joined. apparently people on android can get in without the invite

[chilly wigeon]

You gotta have an invite for android like ios

[kindred bronze]

are you sure? i’ve heard about this a few times. i’m confused

[chilly wigeon]

Yes because I had to have a invite to get into android beta

[kindred bronze]

i had a chinese friend who did it though

[chilly wigeon]

They might be a hacker then beta is having a problem with those

[kindred bronze]

yes

[chrome cypress]

More than hackers, they are also some people who pay a hacker to log in illegally

[kindred bronze]

well they also bought seasonal candles and offered to do it for me, so definitely a hacker.

[lilac solstice]

Ik way back in sanctuary something happened where we had so many people join testing, that some people couldn't download beta on Android, despite being a tester. I was in the program but unable to download beta till prophecy testing. But I highly doubt thats the situation here. You should definitely report it just in case.

There's definitely been a lot more hackers for me recently. Just keep reporting if you can.

i think they are downloading this hax app from some group on a chinese app, i have seen several videos on bilibilli. Just hope TGC ll' find a way to stop it one day

[delicate moth]

I don’t think it’s possible to fully stop but at most they can do what they can to cap it with stronger codes , all we can do atm is report

[split wave]

S...so, instead of lowering the prices of the masks from extremely higher (almost impossible to get) prices, they decided to just give them more shielding. Why doesn't tgc like to lower prices???

[plain helm]

capitalism🗿

[split wave]

I- my message got deleted-

Watch, next theyre gonna add ac packs. Or, you gotta pay to get double ac everytime you go to eden
(Gotta pay everytime you go lol)

[glass spoke]

we can't discuss about hacks here

[frigid shadow]

Someone probs already said it here, but i feel like people who can afford them need them the least, which kinda defeats the purpose of having them in the game in the first place :"D

[split wave]

More endgame content, without explaining anything or thinking about newer players. So many games went down this path, tgc is as well

[iron elbow]

250 ac price tag really makes me worried for the second half of the masks
I'm already saving up for them in live, but I'm not sure whether I should buy the forest one right away, or save up for another, like, half a year, for a possible 500 ac vault mask

[hollow compass]

no, not yet

I don't remember right now. Can't you check yourself in game?

The countdown says there's 6 days left, but that can always change since it's beta.

[delicate dawn]

What's this about a snack kit?

[cosmic orchid]

ඞ

[lilac solstice]

The only thing is that ac literally doesn't give them anything in return. They don't make money off of it. My best guess is it's supposed to be another end game item to work for

[carmine thorn]

Highly priced AC item would make people do more shards to give data that people like the shards by doing it, but in reality, we just need to grind AC for the masks.

[lilac solstice]

It is very very expensive though, and I wish they lowered prices. I mean that's way too much

[visual temple]

There are a lot of real issues we can’t discuss here.

And I’ll say it again, if you can afford one of the elder’s masks, you don’t really need them anymore.

It’s a vicious cycle. Why would you go to Eden? For AC? You already have everything.
For fun? It’s cringing and painfully slow now.
To recharge your mask? You don’t need to recharge if you don’t take damage.

Half-baked, overpriced, and the only one that doesn’t make you look like a cooking pot is the Forest one.

[hasty vessel]

These masks are literally meant for all the players who feel like they have nothing other to do in the game than socialise with friends, which is all well and good but sometimes even that can become mundane and boring (not always). For the players who have all the items in the game that they want and are looking for something else to dive into, once you complete all the constellations and acquire all the elder hairs we realise how boring this game can get when we have nothing to work towards, this is why many players leave and jump on over to another game after reaching this point because it’s not the end game item that matters… it’s the journey it takes to get there.

Some players including myself find it extremely fun to organise and map out ways to reach a new shiny end game item and for some of y’all to act like tgc shouldn’t have these types of systems in place is really puzzling to me cause y’all are all grinding daily anyway? Now that another grinding task has come around for players who have nothing else to grind y’all are mad?

If you don’t like the prices or the functionality then simply don’t get it. It’s not a necessity and it wont allow you to master the game either.

[carmine thorn]

I think you missed my point of the new items making the shards relevant. TGC staff have claimed before they take data of players doing actions in the game. Adding an absurdly priced AC item will artificially inflate shard activity because most players will choose shards over Eden to grind AC or do both an unhealthy amount to get these masks. As a long term goal, the masks look good on paper, but in reality, it will send TGC a message through players activity that these shards are more popular than they are in reality because people need to save up hundreds of AC to get a mask they want coupled with the fact most AC friendship nodes are 5 times the price they were last year.

[hasty vessel]

Sorry my post wasn’t directed to anyone in particular i was just commenting on the general rhetoric that i’ve seen towards the masks since they were introduced..

I don’t quite understand your point when i could say the exact same point for candle farming? Im not logging on every day farming candles because i enjoy it (fair enough some people find it cathartic blah blah) but the main driver for candle farming is to save up the “hundreds” of regular candles and hearts to complete the constellation which again is a big task in and of itself. Thats a 6 months grind.. and you have to be consistent to reach that otherwise it’s even longer.

My point is It doesn’t matter what data the devs get from the shard explosions because the players will use it however they see fit. I’d argue that the shards are similar to the introduction of passive candle farming. The only difference is that ACs have been described as the most valued currency in the game, so there is a challenge attached to them. The mask prices and the friendship prices now earns them that value.

[carmine thorn]

I agree with having long term goals, but making an Item literally worth months of Eden runs and shard events isn't a good long term goal if they made changes in Eden for their claim of "more emotional" experience. Grinding AC would nullify that emotional experience a couple of months, if not sooner, into that grind making their previous statement kind of a tongue in cheek lie.

[vagrant fable]

Basically, we wanted something new to do, but not a new way to grind currency in the exact same boring way we used to do, only this time with a different currency

[glass spoke]

the maximum price i’m willing to pay for a shield mask is 100 ac

[twin isle]

I'd be more happy with multiple different items for one elder being released that are cheaper but add up to like 250 ac. This is kind of on par to what we complained about when the shattering spirits were only two spirits. Buying one insanely expensive item, imo is less satisfying than buying multiple items/nodes that amount to the same price as the insanely expensive item. If it was like elder hair, mask, pants, elder prop (like a staff or something) and all that plus nodes in between was 250 ac it'd feel like making progress as opposed to just saving and feeling none of the reward aspect. Just my opinion tho.

[carmine thorn]

What's there not to understand? Adding an AC grind will inflate the "shard participation" numbers they would see on their end of "data points." 250 AC (and possibly more for later realms) isn't a good goal to give players if the community is split on how they like the shard events and it definitely isn't good if they want to keep Eden as an "emotional experience." Adding an AC grind will muddy those numbers and higher ups will think it was a good idea instead of the reality that a good chunk of players are only doing it for the masks.

[glass spoke]

i am simply unwilling to do eden every weeks only to get a mask that makes me survive a few krill attacks
might aswell learn dodging
(I SOUND SO PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS UZEPHI IT ISN’T DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU DW)

[topaz rover]

aren't people doing the shard regardless of nescecity anyway during the season?
that's really all there is to interact with here this season, pointing this as 'inflating shard participation" is kinda missing this.

[vagrant fable]

Exactly, learning to just dodge stuff is honestly easier and more worth it than the masks

[twin isle]

Tbh tho the only mask I want is forest elder. Kind of crazy how the others I just do not like.

[glass spoke]

“we want eden to remain as an emotional experience for players” as someone who avoids eden all costs so i don’t need to recollect my wings and so i don’t get used to it, i do not agree with what they’re doing to it

[zenith mist]

if tgc values eden as a meaningful emotional experience i dont understand why theyd add an item thatd 100% just turn eden into "the thing you have to do over and over to get your masks". i feel like ppl r able to go on and on abt how they think the prices are fair or how its ok to have things to grind for but there really is no good excuse for this. at least before you only had to do eden every couple months (unless for resizes which are unnecessary), now ppl r gonna be doing it every single week

[twin isle]

I think it's funny when they said they wanted Eden to remain an emotional experience everyone went "rage is an emotion."

[glass spoke]

it’s also funnier especially with friends

[carmine thorn]

I know quite a few people personally who will only do the shards if it's a daily task or for the quests and avoid them at all costs.

[hasty vessel]

I guess i’ve been playing for too long then because that emotional experience you’re talking about with eden has long gone for me, i’m probably a minority that used to do eden every week during my early days of sky, the experience has already dulled down for me. Now that there is a new shiny item attached to that dulled experience it has relit an excitement and urge to do eden again that was once lost.

[topaz rover]

that is fair, but as someone who is not one of those people who sees people helping other players doing them without getting rewards after the end, I can attest some do it out of the goodness of their heart or to just, do the thing that's new

[vagrant fable]

I know people can say "oh you don't need to do Eden every week to get the masks, there's no rush" but people will
That's just how it is, they'll want to get the masks as soon as they can and thus Eden will be a chore for them

[zenith mist]

if you want something in your game to be emotional and impactful, dont give them a reason to do it over and over again just to get something else done. it absolutely dulls the experience
(yes you dont HAVE to do it. no its not necessary. i know. does not matter people will do it anyway.)

[twin isle]

I just want them to lower the price a little bit because I can very much picture them adding more elder stuff. Everyone saw gloating narcissist and there was a lot of people foaming at the mouth for their elder cosplay pants if additional items get more expensive then how much will they run for 300-500 ac?

[zenith mist]

i used to do eden every week when i was a moth and even then i got kind of tired of it. then a while after that i did it every single week for several months while trying to get my old height back and it completely ruined eden as an experience to me. i dont want people to go through that because its exhausting and i didnt even want to play sky sometimes

[hasty vessel]

Then the entire premise of the game needs to be reworked because this game is a literal merry go round

[ionic bluff]

the “you don’t have to get it so it doesn’t matter” argument is a bad argument and never solves anything. Like people are saying above, I’m not sure if the masks are reflecting how tgc wants Eden to be

[twin isle]

I think most people would agree the entire premise of the game (grinding) needs to be reworked bc even if tgc insists that's not what the game is about that's what it has come to be for a lot of players.

[zenith mist]

yeah the game is a merry go round of spending days, weeks, or months to get something, and then you lose all of that hard work in a single day. maybe it does need to be reworked. after a year of that im just over it

[spark lance]

Sky became so repetitive for me that I have to find other games in the meantime to play while waiting for wax events, shards, and reset bc there's literally just nothing I can find to do on there that's interesting

[ionic bluff]

the constant grinding and repetitiveness is probably why I’m falling out of the game tbh. It doesn’t feel like it’s supposed to

[topaz rover]

let's not fool ourselves, as the game stand today it is a grindfest,
you don't need to grind, for sure
but it's tied to one of the main progression system, which is acquiring cosmetics or other goods
so if you don't engage with that, you're very much shooting yourself in the foot...

[vagrant fable]

Even if they claim the cosmetics aren't the focus of the game, you still need to grind candles to spend on friend trees

[chrome cypress]

Felling like game is going a bit too much in "candles run" mode now.
We need cr already for :
•Ts and events that are already quite expensive the new later ones
•Constellations (and tier 2 capes)
• hearts trade
•For Friend both white and AC
• Now even masks for eden
Do eden is quite a journey now with crawling, hard get 15 ac like before if you aren't good at it, plus friendship constellation need more AC now since has become expensive.
I know later stuff are for "veterans" but really for me they are too expensive, and i am quite afraid see the other masks prices

[hasty vessel]

I agree with this but tgc isn’t forcing anyone to farm for all of these things at the same time, the problem right now is that the player base feels a sense of urgency to get everything all at once. I think it’s probably the TS system that has perpetuated this feeling amongst players, things definitely need to be changed a little

[carmine thorn]

Yes, that's something I didn't think of. Imagine being a new player, haven't checked social media or the wiki, learning you can get masks from the elders after finishing their constellation, still haven't bought all base game wing buffs, then seeing that sticker shock. "I have to die how much for Forest Mama's mask?!"

[vagrant fable]

Eden nowadays takes like 30 minutes to do, and that's after PNR, and I just don't want to spend an entire half hour crawling around in a game before I can resume the rest of it

[twin isle]

Anyone feel like it's hilarious how every time it feels like TGC does something to alleviate grinding they take one step back? When they implemented shard events I was so excited that I could get more ac for resizing and my friends could avoid going to Eden to get ac for TS. A lot of my friends have all the elder hairs (myself included) so really it came down to just needing ac for spells or for TS. We were really happy about TGCs decision to give us more ac and less trips to Eden-- and then they revealed elder masks in the very next breath.

The happiness and relief for the grind slowing came to a screeching halt. Really had us fooled too. Like they were so very much emphasizing getting ac from shard events was a way to preserve the emotional impact of Eden and then blew all that up with elder masks being expensive.

[ionic bluff]

Doesn’t help that the “later stuff” (specifically the new masks) have special features that a lot of players are gonna go nuts over and loose a lot of energy over them. I don’t think the “this is for veterans” thing works in theory correctly

[topaz rover]

uh quick trivia... how many AC do you even need to get all wing buffs present in the main constellation?
(been playing for too long i don't recall how much of a grind this actually was)

[zenith mist]

even if tgc isnt forcing people at gunpoint to grind people are still going to do it, and feel pressured to do it for so many reasons i dont want to list. at some point they need to plan around the behavior of players and take steps to alleviate/prevent these things

[vagrant fable]

Again, people who actually need the masks can't get them and people who can get them, don't need them
(Not counting aesthetics)

[blazing sequoia]

For a new player nowadays only finishing 1 single realm takes 4-5 months…🫣 before they could even think abt the mask 🤦🏼‍♀️

[zenith mist]

also not to refer to crimes but this is definitely gonna lead to ppl breaking tos to complete constellations even more than they already do lol

[spark lance]

I'm barely at 50%ish for all of my constellations, they've basically all been on hold because of so many back to back events and TS and just so much @_@ I can't even get myself to do any sort of cr outside of wax events after having to do a week of full 20 runs for DoR

[twin isle]

Honestly if I didn't have the one social media account I'm active on i wouldn't have made any friends. I made a post asking for friends and or mentors for the game back when i started and got around 20ish friends from that. Then exchanging hearts and shards of light daily was easier and even just making that post was crazy for my anxiety. Imagine if you just have no social media and try to make friends via talking in game-- i could never.

[chrome cypress]

161 (including the one from tier2)
Without elders hairs

[shadow stratus]

At least the isle constelation is very acessible

[carmine thorn]

I think around 170 161 AC for all base wing buffs. (including tier 2 buffs) My info might be outdated, though. (see above for correct number) So, about 11 weeks of Eden runs without shards.

[zenith mist]

im really interested in seeing how many ppl completed constellations without social media at all, solely through heart trading ingame, and how many completed them through trading servers or selling things in exchange for hearts

[topaz rover]

if you introduce currency in any game the optimisation paradox will kick in, just like animal crossing
you're quote: "supposed to play at your leasure"
but people grind bells as fast as they could to churn the content as fast as they can (not all of them, but most people do)

sky is no different
especially since FOMO is a thing, you can'ttell your players to take it easy if you're going to swoop the rug from under them within a week or two lol

@ miro: thank you, it's almost as much as one of the elder mask holy cow

[hasty vessel]

I don’t agree with this at all. Simple gaming systems always have a level of progression, the more time you spend on a game the more currency you acquire and the stronger your player becomes, how do you incentivise players to spend time in your game? By offering shiny end game items. Moths don’t need the shields because it would allow them to float through the game more easily which would offer a completely different experience to how we all experienced the game. Moths should be exposed to learning the hard way so they can become accustomed to the game without any crutches

[vagrant fable]

I myself have completed only one con by just getting hearts from my in game friends, but it took like, a whole year because I don't have that many friends that give me hearts

[ionic bluff]

if a moth can afford or even try to get one of the masks, they’re not a moth. I don’t think anyones talking about moths being able to get the shield masks?

[topaz rover]

i haven't completed a single constellation yet and i've been playing for two years lol
I've had no incentive to, elder hair aren't to my taste at all, and the other cosmetics i would never use so...

[zenith mist]

i dont think moths would "float through the game" because they already have to spend a ton of time completing the constellations just to get to the mask at all. thats already doing a lot of eden/shards just for the constellation, and anything else theyd need ac for. someone that joined 3 days ago and doesnt know how to avoid krill isnt getting an elder mask
also its sky not dark souls if someone wants to make the game easier for themselves bc they find losing their wl stressful who cares LOL

[hasty vessel]

Thats everyones main argument? that the masks are too expensive and the players that would actually make use of it (moths) can’t get it because it’s an end game item… what are you talking about that’s the main argument i’ve been seeing in here the past week

[gilded parrot]

A "moth" is a new player. They have brown wings, they flap around uncontrollably, and they are drawn to flame!

[vagrant fable]

The shield masks themselves don't even offer that much protection, the devs specifically said they don't want them to be op, so that makes them not that game changing if a moth were to get it, but again, they can't even

[ionic bluff]

We’re talking about average players. Not new players (moths) either you have the definition of moth wrong, or are confused

[vagrant fable]

We mean the mask's function is useless, basically

[glass spoke]

average players can't afford them either, i rarely meet someone who stacks more than 60 💀

[ionic bluff]

that’s what I’m talking about! it’s insane for average players

[topaz rover]

they should make some other stand alone shield you can make stronger at your own pace or choose not to tbh, new players would either decide to strenghten their shields over getting wing buffs or not dependeing on how they feel they can tackle things

[zenith mist]

i think the elder masks should cost ac, just.. way less. if someones at the point where theyve completed an entire constellation and then have gotten enough ac to get a mask theres no way theyre still considered a moth

[glass spoke]

PETITION TO MAKE ALL ELDER MASKS COST MAX 50 ACS

[ionic bluff]

bro IM a longtime player (my 3rd anniversary of playing is LITERALLY TODAY.) I have all constellations finished etc but these masks just seem like they’re too much

[zenith mist]

no matter how much ac you think masks should cost, there is no way a moth is getting their hands on a mask bc of the constellations. they can take months to do

[hasty vessel]

Boring, give me a challenge

[glass spoke]

HAPPY BARFDAY HUNNN ENJOY YOUR SUFFERING
@hasty vessel how abt touching some grass /lh

[ionic bluff]

THABK YOUUU I’m suffering ☠️

[shadow stratus]

As for the total AC for wing buffs, you only need 71 AC to get all the normal buffs, the other 50+ goes for the 9 tier 2 wing buffs that are unlikely to be prioritized

[chrome cypress]

I think i can say the new masks will end up be just a plus cosmetics for be more "cool looking ", no really important for the function of the shield (especially for krill, that can be emulate with some glitch already)

[gilded parrot]

Using emulators is against the Sky TOS, @chrome cypress. Please don’t use or discuss emulators here.

[steep glade]

Is there a trick to finding the Star (children) in the final memory? I can't see them anywhere, even from the top.

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[rugged kayak]

i still personally don't mind a long-term goal, but yeah TGC being like "we want eden to be an emotional experience" and then doing. This. really is. strange, to put it nicely.

the idea of a mask protecting you more the more expensive they are does not justify this because. how is something gonna be emotional if you're grinding it every week.

i personally don't mind the eden grind (i Love eden now) and again i don't mind long term goals, but not when they're very blatantly contradicting themselves like this (in a way that personally annoys me a Lot bc i also want eden to be a more emotional experience)

[topaz rover]

wat @ skybot xD

[vagrant fable]

I used to wonder why were people looking for a challenge in a game like sky, it's because the base game doesn't offer much after a certain point, that's why.

[zenith mist]

tfw the concept of eden as an emotional experience that means anything at all is ruined bc one guy on discord wants a challenge in Sky children of the light, for , Some reason,

[rugged kayak]

want a challenge in sky? speedrun the trials

[shadow stratus]

But the whole purpose of eden was to be a challange tho, its literally on the name
"You cant warp to you friend right now because they are in the middle of a challange"

[glass spoke]

if you're looking for challenge play arena of valor or genshin idek, sky is supposed to be for relaxing
although what tgc is doing to the game certainly does NOT make me relaxed

[spark lance]

Eden didn't even feel emotional for me from the first time I went

▼ agreed with that, except it only felt like a challenge the first two times ._. I literally sometimes go through Eden for orbit screenshots and the wl because Eden just doesn't feel like the challenge it was at first, and it's never been emotional to me sooo

[vagrant fable]

It's was a challenge the first 5 times you do it, then it becomes a chore

[hasty vessel]

The reward isn’t worth it.. i like the idea of gaining an item that encapsulates my hard work

[zenith mist]

if you want a challenge complete all the constellations and get all the masks then

[vagrant fable]

Imma make a bold statement and say that hard work doesn't need to be boring and burn people out

[topaz rover]

how many times do you have to do something before it stop being emotional?
more than once probably

[hasty vessel]

Im planning too…

1000 AC goal

[carmine thorn]

What ever happened to the only challenge in Sky being the mental gymnastics you have to do to get an ounce of lore out of the game? pulls out cane Hold on, I need to tell the kids to get off my lawn.

[glass spoke]

IT'S SO HARD TO RESIST ROASTING PEOPLE I DON'T WANT TO SEEM MEAN

[sand rune]

just that 160 is a bit absurd
though anyone whose really really gone height gambling would say otherwise

[ionic bluff]

god this game gives me such a headache. my only wish is for tgc to hear us over how grindy this games been getting and nothings been done about it tbh. The chevron update didn’t do much

[maiden pond]

I think the prices of Elder masks should be as follows:

Isle - 25 ascended candles
Prairie - 30 ascended candles
Forest- 35 ascended candles
Valley 40 ascended candles for 1st mask, 45 for second.
Wasteland - 50 ascended candles
Vault - 55 ascended candles

I think this is appropriate?

[zenith mist]

i like having a challenge but doing something over and over again for weeks isnt challenging. its boring and makes the game feel like a chore. thats not a challenge, if you want a challenge for yourself have higher standards man lol
anyone can do eden over and over again. its not hard. it just sucks and isnt fun and doesnt make me want to play sky

[topaz rover]

better in the sense you don't need to wake up every three hour at night?

[hasty vessel]

I mean it’s obvious you’re speaking about me because I’m the only one going against the grain rn, how about you quit the condescending passive aggression and come out with it already???

[glass spoke]

i like the 25 ac price for isle

[vagrant fable]

This is reasonable, this makes sense
Why can't tgc be reasonable like this?

[zenith mist]

if youre going to just be dropping weird middle school insults because someone disagrees with you over a video game just dont lol

[topaz rover]

money, the answer is money
you string along your players as long as you can so they get the feeling they need to purchase other things in the meantime

[shadow stratus]

But this time we talking about a currency that cant even be bought

[rugged kayak]

i wish i wasn't so constantly in the unpopular opinion club (likes candle running, likes WL running, loves eden, etc) lol

i still do agree with a lot of points being made though. the game is very grindy for what TGC wants it to be, and making the masks cost as much AC as they do contradicts their vision and also makes the game even more of a chore for most people.

i was wary of the shard events bc i was worried for other people but they've become one of my favorite things to do in sky too aha

[zenith mist]

i agree that tgc does a lot of bad things for money but ppl pull out the "its bc of money tgc did (insert bad decision bc of money)!!!!" over things that make no sense and make no money.

[topaz rover]

time is money
ac isn't the only currency in the game, the fact that this specific one is time gated makes you play longer, which in turn makes you more inclined to spend on other things

[vagrant fable]

I like candle running when I'm not doing it with the mindset of "GOTTA GET 15 CANDLES EVERY DAY OF THIS WEEK FOR THE NEXT TS OMG"

[sand rune]

honestly the chevron didnt help much, but they did add more light sources
forest elder table gives 5-8 candles at full chevrons. sanctuary 3-5, maybe the 8 player elevator 1-2, and vault should make it to 15
a 15 candle run doesnt take too long, compared to before where it needed over an hour

[shadow stratus]

The money thing is pretty obvious and TGC fails to hide well some time, example as when they rigged two beloved spirits with new props (CC and juggler) to come one after another, and the prince pants was also avaliable at the same time, we were also had the summer event a bit earlier.
But this time we talking AC, that cant be bought, unless...

[zenith mist]

if someone is willing to spend that much time grinding for a single item in sky i think theyd already be playing for that long and spending money anyway..???

[rugged kayak]

yeah that's very fair. i'm a "privileged" player in that i don't need to worry about TS at all, but this is something i think about a lot 😔😔😔 the TS system desperately needs to be changed

[ionic bluff]

Saying that this is for money feels like a stretch tbh. I genuinely just think this is tgc overpricing things as they tend to do. Like Alaike is saying, you can’t buy AC

[carmine thorn]

It's at least 5 weeks to grind at the current prices... if you Do Eden every week just for the cheapest mask, that would keep that one particular player playing to get that single mask. If they're a completionist, they would want all just for piece of mind, so tack on the extra 10-15 weeks of "player retention" for just the other two we have access to prices. Yes, it will retain the player, but at a cost.

[topaz rover]

i mean, you tell me what's the mindset behing making those elder items cost so much?
pride and accomplishment?

[sand rune]

honsetly the same goes for the 160 heart capes

[zenith mist]

i think tier 2 capes are super overpriced and not worth it for what they are but theyre just. so boring and not that different than the originals i feel nothing about them

[twin isle]

Prolonged pain and suffering for completionists

[topaz rover]

my favourite xD

[sand rune]

the arguement used to be that tses were mean to be special, and thats why their prices were high, but, i think, they can afford a slight reduction. i mean who would complain about it anyway
i doubt veterans mind, unless someone really salty and proud

[rugged kayak]

pride and accomplishment is literally it though i think, at least that's probably what they intend these ascended/elder items to be

[shadow stratus]

Never gonna forgive that our wings grow, but the amount of statues remained 63, the solution should be increase the statues ( or both) , not increasing the damage on us/decrease our speed like they did on TLP

[vagrant fable]

Pride and accomplishment in spending hours and hours on a game of which the devs actively incentivise people not to play

[sand rune]

naw i was barely able to reach the last statue with 187 wings
they should let us crawl faster when down at least

[ionic bluff]

Some ts go to around 200 candles. That’s a lot of grinding for 2 weeks, atop of literally everything else you gotta use candles for in this game. I think they can afford a reduction

[topaz rover]

yeah the more WL you have, the more damage you take
that's kinda counterproductive

[shadow stratus]

Ts prices will always be justified for me, what should be changed is the events
Fun fact headpat come back 3 candles cheaper lmao

[sand rune]

i mean you lose it all anyway but they sorta changed the wl requirement for all the AC from linear to exponential
they pushed back the constant rock rain, and its only lethal until over half of what used to be the endless rock zone

[zenith mist]

grinding for 2 weeks and then blowing nearly all of those candles on a single ts over and over again was such a painful cycle

[ionic bluff]

Idk. I cant justify ts prices ever anymore, remember when tgc sold a bowtie for 50 candles?

[shadow stratus]

It used to be the more wl u have the more you lost, it makes sense actually, but now you lose 4 by 4 until 40~50 wings on eden, then 2 by 2, if it wasnt for thatt we could actually reach the end without 180 wl

[rugged kayak]

i think both events and TS should be changed..

idk in the end it SUCKS seeing people stress over things alllllll the time in a game that's supposed to be relaxing. it's part of why i'm not too active in the discord and the sky community in general, it's all i see and it gets me upset (not At people but For people)

[topaz rover]

i'm gonna be honest, the only times i've ever been in need of candles was when i stopped candle running for a few weeks
when i do CR everyday i always had enough, even when using some on daily hearts so i've always found that strange that people are always short

then again i stopped friending people for a long time so...

[sand rune]

smh when the headphones accessory isnt even close to the supposed headphone function that only works on ios
not even close

Its just the normal pricing tbh, like i said before, belonging headpat was 150 back on june 2020, that was expensive too, and so are other spirits.
I think these prices with the event stuff that doesnt work well

[rugged kayak]

speaking of being inactive i'm going to go now and think of a new feedback essay. take care y'all

[vagrant fable]

That's the thing, a lot of us just don't want to cr every single day

It changed to cry but it was accurate lmao

[viscid sundial]

The typo was correct too

[topaz rover]

no, cry worked too, my bad y'all

[hasty vessel]

Hahah free hugs

[sand rune]

also theres the season. i suppose theyve gotten more than enough feedback about this season.....
can jsut hope they listen

[topaz rover]

i mean, what more can we feedback on, all has been said at this point, several times over

[vagrant fable]

Anyway, we can understand players wanting a long term goal, that's fine, but the elder masks seem a little too much, that's all

[shadow stratus]

There only can be so much feedback that can change the game, the devs had an vision of what they wanted to do.
But damn these bright lights have to go

Just think its extremely odd the amount of interesting QoL we got during SoS

[storm vessel]

You don't have to get the elder masks if you don't want them. It's for people who want longer goals.

[sand rune]

QoL?

[topaz rover]

quality of life

[vagrant fable]

At least they added the WIP screen transition thing, although it's not even for all cutscenes, but finally, something

[shadow stratus]

Yeah, and the shrine thing seems something that will add up to the game as well even tho we have no idea what it is.
Is it a general consent that everyone is thinking something about teleporting?

[sand rune]

over 11 weeks of weekly eden runs. 160. and more if youre not up to recollecting all your wl every week

[vagrant fable]

I personally thought it would be literally just a map like "you are here" with no other function besides that

[storm vessel]

Is it because you want to have everything in game? What happen after you've gotten everything?

[topaz rover]

personally i don't see the appeal of teleporting because each maps can be crossed in less than 5 minutes because, let's be fair, they're kinda small, not a bad thing
but some people might think otherwise...?

[shadow stratus]

The guy who constantly posts his 1k+ ascended on the galery will go crazy once they hear about the masks

[zenith mist]

every convo about the elder masks is one guy saying the same arguments over and over in favor of the masks while like 10 ppl expend all their energy explaining every single issue with the masks. and also sky as a whole

[vagrant fable]

And then when people reach a conclusion to the convo, a new challenger appears and starts it again

[topaz rover]

sunglasses being the combo breaker

okay beta chat, let's flex our muscles, what thing would you like to be obtainable with AC other than overpriced masks?

i'd exchange those against heart in a heartbeat

[vagrant fable]

Hearts

[storm vessel]

Just got bored of reading how bad it is lol

[zenith mist]

if i see someone make up a guy thats mad about the sunglasses, and then get mad over that fake guy that exists in their head in this channel one more time ill go nuts.

[wary star]

IM SAAAYING THE LONG TERM GOAL SHOULD BE THE EDEN CROWN AFTER YOUVE COMPLETED EVERYTHING

[sand rune]

🕶️

[shadow stratus]

Size spells , the 10 minute ones, been feedbacking this for ages, i had no goal with ACs but still did eden because idk i like it, ended up stacking 100 rainbows and resizes instead

[topaz rover]

we are no longer asking
give us eden crown

[hasty vessel]

After three years of the currency system i think it’s a bit too late for tgc to try and rework it, they’ve dug the hole too deep.

Can we hope for a change? Yes but will it realistically ever come? Probably not

[sand rune]

i mean ACs are a real free real estate rn

[topaz rover]

it's free real eden

[spark lance]

Krill pet im a desperate shrimp lover ok-

[sand rune]

the based game spirits dont take ...too...long to all acsend, and ts only need 2 anyway. the only other things are potions
and friendship trees
ah right warp is 10 AC

[shadow stratus]

Its time for a change !!!

15x ascended candle
30$

[carmine thorn]

Previous Ults.

[hasty vessel]

I’d literally do anything for the eden crown, even if it meant getting all the AC masks ☠️

[solid dune]

I am here to remind y’all they removed letting us know the prices of IAPS in beta. Meaning we can no longer give feedback on prices before they release on Live, which would make it too late to change.
No one is talking about this enough

[frank slate]

So, I was thinking about what steps a game company would take to keep their players playing, the things we often see in games – adding new items to collect (especially ones bought with types of currency that accumulate over time), adding new areas, adding new activities, adding more login and/or participation rewards, increasing social media activity, inviting players to participate in events and activities outside the game… Basically a game needs to constantly fight player attrition from all angles or the servers will become empty and the game will die. I stumbled on this article, which some might find interesting. Apologies for the meta discussion, but it’s relevant to these conversations we keep having about new features being added to Sky, some we’re not so happy with: https://medium.com/swlh/how-to-design-games-for-engagement-4f1bfedae180

[shadow stratus]

Id pay 10 ac for 10 minutes of old ult spells easily, we have the campfire, even tho its not for your back
Oh wait thats one is for hearts (?)

[vagrant fable]

And it was right after we got the rainbow pants to be igc instead of IAP
Although that wasn't even the intention, we just asked it to be cheaper

[topaz rover]

can't have controversy over prices if there are no prices ahah...

[shadow stratus]

I understand the prices a bit, even tho i disliked
People would cause a lot of drama out of the beta channels , and sometimes the item wasnt even finished and stuff

[carmine thorn]

It's not like we already know the prices. They've set a precident on the "type" of item and it's worth. Most props are always 19.99 USD, small accessories are under 5 USD, capes are usually 14.99 or 29.99 if they unlock an area.

[storm vessel]

I saw many people gotten their 999 hearts for their cape, The cost of masks are less? What kind of price are you hoping for anyway?

[topaz rover]

man, i really miss the time when i saw every updates as nothing more than improvements... Please be the future be good

[shadow stratus]

Beta is not live brother, we worrying about live

[zenith mist]

ah yes the capeless cape which is most definitely coming to live, and most people that have it definitely did not get it through a glitch

[shadow stratus]

What glitch? Tgc gifted everyone billions of candles
What glitch are you talking about

[zenith mist]

also hearts can be gotten through normal cr, not eden, which is supposed to be Emotional Meaningful Impactful whatever other words theyve used idk

[hasty vessel]

The entire game is meant to be “emotional, meaningful, impactful” not just eden candle running sucks the life out of the entire game too! Let’s not act like its any different

[carmine thorn]

999 hearts < 250 AC, especially with people who min/max hearts. You can get up to 21 candles a day, that's 7 hearts if your friends gift back, not including message boats/ shrines/memory candles. That's not including daily light gifts which some people get a heart or two a day from that as well.

You can only get around 15 AC a week guaranteed, then some splash AC from shards.

[zenith mist]

i dont have the ten other people here to back me up on the dozens of reasons why the masks overpriced over and over im gonna go eat ravioli

[slow spear]

Brown cape lvl 2
It already exists, but is it obtainable?I saw it on YouTube

[shadow stratus]

Since hearts were always attached to being gifts, i think they should make fragments as a reward for opening cooperative doors, imagine everyone gathering togheter for completing something, no moth would suffer on a possible endless waiting

[topaz rover]

just reinstating what i always thought, community tasks should give everyone a few heart fragments 😔

[shadow stratus]

Not sure if what you saw on youtube was legit (it most likely wasnt)
But, there is a picture (or there was) brown tier 2 cape that was spotted on a indonesian promotion card for sky on google play

[topaz rover]

legit or not it would be nice to have
acended moth
only for 999

[shadow stratus]

So the ascended brown cape will fall with the eden crown that was on a promotion image that we never will see in the game too

Still thinking how i stacked 100 resizes, 100 rainbows, 40 lantern spells on live, just so tgc release an end goal for AC

[topaz rover]

At least you're set for life... right?

[carmine thorn]

We need a spell merchant that will buy our spells back from us at a reduced rate. /hj

[hasty vessel]

WHYYY?!

[shadow stratus]

I dont use these, well i will use the rainbows likely, but the resizes, i dont. In fact, i have 106 of them, the cap is 100 but the spirits break that once in a while lmao
And why, because what else cold i do with AC, there was nothing lmao

TGC needs to realize that the real end game is the friends we made along the way

[carmine thorn]

The real end game is losing them one by one as they start quitting.

[hasty vessel]

Uzephi why do all my reactions get deleted from your posts?

[topaz rover]

dear moth that friended me once and never returned, I'll never forget you yet and the time we didn't spend together

[slow spear]

If that's the case the youtuber spent a lot of time on editing
Also what has to be Starter Pack cape lvl 2. Would be fun if they added it as IAP

[shadow stratus]

Why do you have to remind me that the starter cape exist

[topaz rover]

imagine, tier two office cape
tbh starter cape's color is fire, i love it

[hasty vessel]

It allows you to teleport to the office from anywhere in sky?

[shadow stratus]

Office 2 expanded and enhanced

[storm vessel]

What do you do if you've completed all the constellation and every TS coming is what you already have anyway? Just new season daily quest?

[shadow stratus]

I do daily quest + 15 candles( up to 18 a day) , i like grinding even tho i have enough candles to stop doing it until the game ends.
Friends play a very important role in your end game state, otherwise it gets boring

[topaz rover]

get everything from the current season so they don't have to grind for TS coming 1+ year in the future

[slow spear]

Special lounge inside the Office where they only let in those with level 2 Office cape. Kinda like what they have in airports

[carmine thorn]

Become a gremlin and break the game in ways TGC doesn't want you to.

[shadow stratus]

Wrong warp ftw

Considering that they said that the more expensive the mask the more the shield, part of me want a really expensive one

[slow spear]

Wrong warp gone?

[topaz rover]

i'll just settle for the coolest one

[shadow stratus]

Nah wrong warp is a bug , a very good at breaking the game, was just adding to what Uzephi said

[shadow stratus]

Ill buy the twins one for sure, wasteland too if his mask glows

[slow spear]

Yeah but is it still gone? There's been a new update buy i haven't tried

[plush marsh]

I'd start saving in live for those ngl lost hope don't think they'll change the prices anymore

[shadow stratus]

It is gone, but still breathing its final moments in live

[slow spear]

In beta

[shadow stratus]

But wrong warp was already doomed, i think they tried to fix once, wich made the bug better, so it was just a matter of time

[carmine thorn]

Do the Valley Twins even have masks? In orbit and Valley cutscene, it looks like they're maskless, no?

[storm vessel]

So the main problem is, if forest is 250, what kind of price would the unreleased one be?

[shadow stratus]

Its a mask with an edge , they have mirrored masks too i think

[topaz rover]

one of the twin's mask is triangle and goes off his face while the other one is maskless ish

[plush marsh]

850 for vault 💀

[plush marsh]

No both have the same thing but the other is covered or not viewable much

[shadow stratus]

Pretty sure that the masks are mirrored, being the spiky hair with one eye to the left, and the spike to the left too, and the mushrook hair with the spike and eye only on the right

[topaz rover]

i watched the cutscene only once in the last year, guess i missed it

[plush marsh]

Same but two years ago💀

[carmine thorn]

I always saw them as maskless, I guess because the bloom or something made them near invisible if they're not covering their faces fully.

[shadow stratus]

Then literally a month later little prince update come and broke both hands and piggy

[plush marsh]

After seeing Voi posting about the masks and forest looked so good with noot noot hair

Thought aren't they supposed to make capeless to live after those prices .

[topaz rover]

but then, will the twin masks even have glowy parts or what

[shadow stratus]

I always saw the masks on them, i think the simplicity may help players think there is no mask at all, ive seen more people thinking the same

[plush marsh]

Glowy eyes? something like forest

[shadow stratus]

Gonna check the cutscene now yall making me doubt myself now

[topaz rover]

all elder masks have glowy eyes tho

maybe they'll have a sans moment and have one of the eyes being brighter xD

i've watched your vid from the screenshot channel, one is dorito shaped but the other one doesn't seem to be, but they only have one eye each...

[spark lance]

[spiral kelp]

Can someone tell me where the shard is today?

[chrome cypress]

Grandma forest area

[spiral kelp]

Oh 🥲 thank you.

[shadow stratus]

A bit late but yeah, both are like that, the eye being on the oposite side for the mushroom hair implies that their mask is mirrored, both masks are triangles too in the top of the realm portal so yeah

[alpine field]

I mean it’s kinda hard to find anyone that’s maskless in this world aint it
Except for skids-

[whole plank]

When I actually used the elder mask, I began to feel that it was not suitable for playing with friends. It does not feel good to be protected only by me. I think either all my friends should be protected at the same time or the price should be lowered so that everyone can have one.

[languid bear]

Right. It would be cool to protect friends not only myself with the power of elders.

[mighty mulch]

The krill repellant cost AC too when it was sold in the Mischief area yeah? Would make sense too for Elder masks to be able to shield nearby friends.

If they are removing the "bug" that is prop shielding, can they make it so that bigger props can conceal Skykids again. Makes no sense the krill can see you through the huge tent.

[carmine thorn]

Props are made from light, so I would think they would spotlight a prop anyway even without a player nearby. Kinda like crabs attacking props. That would be a better "fix" to the bug. Make krill lock on to a prop and attack it destroying a prop and injuring any skykid hiding behind it.

[zenith lynx]

I was like yeah uh huh this makes sense but then the last part lmaooooo

You're evil XD

[carmine thorn]

Nah, injure implies WL don't need to eject. Just a few wedges lost depending on how far away the person was from the prop that was targeted. (kinda like being near a krill attack that wasn't directed at you.)

[velvet ether]

where is shard drop today??
i done in SF but no ac
now i at brook, still red sky, but not see any shard

[gilded parrot]

Hello beloved citizens! Skybot here to remind you all that if you are having trouble finding something in Beta, please submit that to TGC in #beta-feedback! You may ask here if you are struggling, but together we can help many Live skykids have a great experience Remember to check #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues as well!

[fiery isle]

ayo so like
just now when i enter the last part in forest, i suddenly have this blue thing popped up around me for a second, kinda like a shield of some sort, and it made a lil woosh sound that startled me, anyone know what this is?

too bad i didn’t record it(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

[carmine thorn]

Do you by chance have the forest elder mask? Watching the cutscene would have recharged it. Maybe it was that?

[whole plank]

This is probably a bug, but if you have the mask of the elder, there is a recovery animation after meditating in the temple of another realm, and it happens to friends without the mask as well. It is possible that there was a player there with elder mask. Ah yes, I forgot to make a bug report about that.

[inland hearth]

I got the same blue halo animation after meditating at forest temple, and I don't have an elder mask.

[whole plank]

Were there any other players there at the time?

[inland hearth]

Yes, my sister who also doesn't have the mask. For me, the halo appeared around my head.

[whole plank]

Thanks! it seems to happen regardless of whether anyone have an elder mask or not. I'll actually go there later and check the details.

[chilly lynx]

any reason beta keeps crashing when i try to enter grandma area? tried teleporting theough assembly and both enterances

[gilded parrot]

📱iOS/Android: Learn about the sign-up process and how to get notified when invites happen in #beta-faq!
Switch: The Switch Beta testing period has ended with Live launch. All future content testing will be conducted on Mobile only.

[whole plank]

there is a bug on iOS devices only that causes a crash when trying to enter the sunny forest.

[chilly lynx]

dang

[errant dirge]

Ditto

[polar field]

[sly pecan]

HELLLOOOOO?????????

[lilac solstice]

don't give them any ideas

[languid bear]

I'm nervous. Really. About the price of elder items.💀

Honestly, when an item price crosses a certain limit, it just makes me feel exhausted.

[tranquil folio]

Are the wls in the memories only 1 time thing? I missed all except the whale one and can’t tp into any previous memories

[trim spade]

We thought the invisible cape was impossible and yet here we are. Elder masks will eventually be obtained as well ac bug when

[twin lintel]

welp at first i wasnt able to get in beta because i didn’t have enough storage for updates
now, it’s because the only device i had beta on got corrupted and will not turn on… i’m not having a good month for beta

[twin lintel]

you can still tp to a random memory from doing a shard i think

[silent wigeon]

Will you collapse and flash back when you enter the rainforest hidden map?

[lapis ore]

Apologies as this is not a testing question, but I assume beta screenshots aren’t allowed for #996106458632564899? They’re screenshots from when I joined beta (as I got kicked for inactivity and haven’t been in beta since abyss testing iirc)

I’m combing through my pictures trying to figure out which ones are from beta and which from live bc they saved to the same folder 😅

[alpine field]

If you see those scenes in live too, i don’t think that’s a big problem imo
Ofc it’s just my opinion, i could NEVER tell beta and live screenshots apart

[lapis ore]

Hmm I’ll not post the ones I know are from beta then (I found that one time I decided to wait outside office to help a new wave in and merged with three others doing the same super funny)

There’s one I’m not sure on (I’ll post in screenshots in a sec), not sure if the candle icon bug went to live or not but I think it might be from beta; guess I could crop it??

[oak bane]

[lapis ore]

Ah nvm I’m dumb it ended already I read it wrong 😭

[past token]

What is sky map shrines？

[trim zenith]

Can beta eligibility be obtained by mail? I heard that someone was qualified by in-game email

[cosmic orchid]

no, that's not how beta invites work
see #beta-faq

[rugged kayak]

the only people who got in via email invites were for those on huawei invites iirc, everyone else has to click links in #beta-signup-info when they are available

[echo mason]

I'm leaving on Earth 😍💅💔 and Sky

[hollow compass]

The e-mail invitation was pre-iOS worldwide release, when the game was in early beta

[solid scroll]

Dang i had to start the season late because phone issues rip these beautiful cosmetics

[hollow compass]

You can always get them in Live (and keep them for certain!)

[solid scroll]

Ah yeah thats true

[fringe light]

It's kinda sad I still haven't see that camp fire kit in the shop and the sunlight day spirits had gone

[viscid fjord]

Hello, i want to clarify the question
Is it possible to get into locations with winged lights of the season of shattering after end?

[chrome ivy]

We can't say it for now. As today they didn't even given a answer that how we can access to the season area after the season ends.

[shadow stratus]

I think the event being gone is a bug? That was just a week i think

[shadow stratus]

Yes, but so far the only option we aware is to do the shard events and go to the void again, but that is kinda randomized in a matter of what memory you will be sent to

[misty bone]

if i am not wrong, there was a counter the past few days.. probably that was for the summer event?

[sand rune]

Yeah what happens when the season is over......

[solid scroll]

Im guessing they will move it to an area in sky kingdom where the shard and its progress can be seen

[shadow stratus]

Shards will keep falling, so people can still do the quests
Still hope they will put the guide somewhere outside of the memories

[solid scroll]

Unrelated but i did the shard quest in Valley and nothing happened after i finished clearing, does that happen sometimes?

[wheat pumice]

TGC should be able to emphasize this things in the last part of the quest of the season that Winglights from each quest will be able to get it thru a certain shards (e.g. crabs, mantas, krills, and dark flowers) but I notice most of the shards memories are on crabs or mantas.

Hoping we can get more info about it or else, TGC should make this Winglights from voids to be permanently added to our winglight counter so that it would be less stressful for us to get and no longer to wait which shards would be falling for us.

[crimson olive]

sos i need help, i have reset my device and lost the beta of "Sky", i used gmail to sign up for beta but it's not showing, what should i do

[hollow compass]

Are you on Android or iOS?

[blissful harbor]

Oh dang, didnt realize i missed grabbing some goodies from the sunny forest event 😭

[alpine token]

Why I can't sign in with huawei ID on my iPhone? But my friend's iPhone does!
whenever I click on "sign in with HUAWEI ID" It just does do anyhtibg, just gives me a plain white screen then brings me back to the main menu.

[golden steppe]

Does anyone know the max WL count in beta? I know we are behind schedule and the current WL count is 199 in live

[sinful glacier]

I really hope that for the sunlight event they don’t make you pay 10 dollars for that marshmallow on a stick

[frank slate]

@golden steppe It’s just before the Coliseum if you fly from Dreams.

[pale wadi]

Hi, does anyone know how to get the shared campfire kit? I saw some ppl buy it infront of me, but I can't find it in shop

[chilly wigeon]

If you bought the single stick before the update you can't get the shared one

[sand dawn]

and the event ended

[pale wadi]

Oh no, thank you 😫

[carmine thorn]

It's a prop, if they follow their past pricing schema, it will be 19.99 USD.

[ashen tusk]

I'm hoping they're planning to drop another event update with more testing before they ship it off to live because the last update just broke the entire sunny forest for ios

[chilly wigeon]

Did the event actually end or is it a glitch

[fading lake]

Does anyone know that the scanned cry has always existed?

[chilly wigeon]

What

[fading lake]

An NFC badge

[vagrant fable]

I would guess they mean the Kizuna Ai STAR pin call

[rare carbon]

wha the hell i didnt even tested event

[harsh panther]

Yhea... can someone play with me? I am very sad.

[solid scroll]

The event ended for me as well im guessing its a bug

[chilly wigeon]

It didn't seem finished enough for it to end yet I would be surprised if it wasn't a bug the guide was literally floating

[rugged kayak]

it ended based on the in-game timer, not a bug

[ashen tusk]

maybe we were meant to get a new update before the timer ran out but it didn't escape internal testing maybe I'm just hoping for an extension so I can actually test it when sunny forest is fixed

[vagrant fable]

Yeah, it probably ended because of the internal timer they probably put in the event, but I doubt we done testing it, no way it's finished

[ashen tusk]

flashbacks to when we said this about shattering

[shadow stratus]

Map shrines living rent free in my head, WHAT IS ITT

[sick pilot]

does anyone know if that summer lantern will be available again this year or not? also does it charge you

[spiral dawn]

as far as i know, i dont think so and unfortunately no it doesnt charge you.

[twin isle]

We haven't tested that yet, but I'd assume it'll be back.

Forest why do you think it won't be back? past iaps that aren't like exclusive ones have
