beta-discussion

[opaque cipher]

Has anyone explained about the IGC candle cost to the devs for the tulip cape yet?

[vagrant fable]

There has been an update, the design has changed
We were testing the butterfly server party event thing

[lament seal]

Has the cape price changed? I've had it so I can't check

Thought so lol

[vagrant fable]

It's been decreased from 120 to 110 but afterward there's been no price changes

Also I don't think we need to "explain" about the price, we just gotta keep giving feedback on it

[late sonnet]

I’m happy with the new look
my feedback was if the 110 price was kept, the appearance of the cape should be upgraded to match and it’s well worth it now to me

[lament seal]

I'm sure they're more than aware by now how much people don't want to pay for it

[spark lance]

Red tones are nice in sky, i can totally see the tulip cape being popular in live. I just have seen far too many fancy sausage memes... I can't disconnect the two now.

[opaque cipher]

THIS is fair. If it's going to be expensive, the quality has to match. This is an equivalent of lowering the price to me! Good job TGC!

[iron elbow]

blew 1 ts worth of candles on the new bloom stuff, worth it

[spare viper]

Was last year's purple bloom cape design updated? 🤔

[ashen tusk]

I now have 2 candles to my beta kid name until conversion, I didn't get the feeder even though I'll likely collect it in live, I wanted to test out the new cape some more and honestly it's still not hitting well for me. I would probably pay 90 candles at most for it with the new changes

[trim spade]

a lot of y’all are staying up late lol go to bed soon

[late sonnet]

it’s 11am

[kindred fossil]

Ikô may not be equipped to answer such a question

[iron elbow]

too late to turn back now
late turned to early

[spark lance]

I want to buy the feeder in beta just to have it but I need my candles to hold me over till conversion since I trade everyday with people

It's summer here, between 10pm to 10am is peak comfy time.

[vagrant fable]

Can't wait for conversion day to get my single candle

[regal niche]

ty Dark. That's okay then. I've already submitted a bug report. Hopefully they'll see it soon

[wet lark]

I just hope one day there is a purple outfit/pants to match the wisteria cape from last year

[ashen tusk]

Omg Tak I just saw this
#beta-screenshots-videos message

[spark lance]

Praying for purple pants and pink pants to match bloom items

[trim spade]

Yep we need more pink and light purple pants

Is it just me or there wasn’t as many people in today’s test compared to before?

[late sonnet]

it feels less congested than before yeah
but all my mutuals showed up 🤔

[spark lance]

I only saw five of my friends this time, last test I think I saw 7 or 8

Less pants, more dresses please.

[kindred fossil]

In 3 years inshallah ☝️

[regal niche]

last time there were dozens if not hundreds of butterflies feeding krill
today i was the only one there

[ashen tusk]

video upload failed now I gotta wait another 10 minutes

[spark lance]

I would totally buy the tulip thing if it was a dress.

[indigo gale]

I missed the playtest Was Ark krill fed well?

[kindred fossil]

Ark krill was fed crumbs today, not so much of a feast

[sand garnet]

The cape is looking much prettier but the bloom capes should never have rose above the 70 candles of the original one in my opinion. ^_^;

[ashen tusk]

So you can become a sparkler when you're a butterfly by spam interacting with a lighting button

[spark lance]

Homie got plenty of krebs and wl

[kindred fossil]

At least 10

[nocturne dew]

I keep missing these play tests cus discord won’t ping meeeee 🫠

[sand garnet]

I fed the krill once this time. Butterfly controls still a little wonky for me. ^_^;

[glacial barn]

Why does video editing have to take so long? Trying to get a nice clip of chilling with Snickers lol

[tidal aurora]

oh my the new tulip cape is so pretty now! id definitely spend 110 candles for that now (no more salami)

[spark lance]

Nice try tgc! But it still looks delicious!

[split dawn]

I’m so happy we can still carry crabs in the butterfly form

[kindred fossil]

It reminds me of smoked salmon, I love smoked salmon

[spark lance]

not only it's pretty, it's pretty delicious

Like sushi! If you like sushi....

[upbeat wadi]

Also, may iask what does the bloom prop worth 80 candles do? Aside from aesthetic purposes lol if there's any

[spark lance]

aesthetic purposes but also watching butterflies

[sudden pine]

It attracts butterflies

[upbeat wadi]

Oooo thank you so much! 💖

[kindred fossil]

Pre-existing butterflies just to be clear

[spark lance]

Imagine if it spawned butterflies in eden... 999 hearts prop right there.

[upbeat wadi]

Oh! Lol 😆
Ok thanks for that reminder too. It will be nice if friends as butterflies can chill in there too

[solar stream]

@opal spindle hope you enjoyed the crab! xD

[opal spindle]

I did! I was giggling when I saw your group eating crabs on the other table

[unkempt coral]

I was apprehensive about the tulip cape changing at all but it looks so much better!! I didn’t personally see it as salami in the first place but for those who did- it looks less like salami now right? 😂

[spark lance]

We're still testing bloom, we don't have an estimated date for when we'll start testing days of nature

[gilded parrot]

@spark lance, Beta testers do not receive information in advance and no one knows when something will happen. Please check out #news for Live announcements and #beta-announcements for what's currently being tested in Beta.

[kind kraken]

I somehow magically have Aurora voice instrument back in my closet! Did this happen to anyone else who got it too early and then wasn’t able to obtain it permanently ?

[glacial storm]

on the last and final concert in beta we get to bought it with 5 candles

[kind kraken]

Oh yeah thank you for reminding me !! I totally forgot about that!

[unkempt coral]

omg I just looked and yes!!!

[trim spade]

Y’all are making me hungry with all the edible tulip cape interpretations

[ashen tusk]

I can't unsee salmon thanks to dark

[peak mason]

y'know I think y'all just need to eat some food and then it'll look like a tulip

[trim spade]

New cosplay idea: wear yeti pants and tulip cape. Do the scared emote. Now you’re a sashimi 🍣

[kindred prawn]

Umm I was the one who claimed it looked like salmon sashimi

[peak mason]

it is very pretty this update ✨ I like

[ashen tusk]

maybe tgc should give us a food inspired season

[peak mason]

season of ratatoskr or whatever that one movie with the rat is called

[kindred prawn]

I know you blocked me but don’t credit other people for what I said

[ashen tusk]

ratatouille 😭

[hazy prawn]

I feel that the cape was a little strange in this new update, the look from before made her look like a 🌹

[ashen tusk]

I credited dark because they said it in another server hours ago but ok

[spark lance]

Maybe they saw it from dark first?

[ashen tusk]

To be fair the ratatouille that remy makes in the movie is pretty much like layers of sky capes at this point so we're so close let's just have remy the rat as the guide and for quests he hops on our heads and tugs our hair to navigate us round sky looking for ingredients

[trim spade]

I did it

[spark lance]

Ngl I got so confused by this bc honestly I forgot the rat's name is Remy and not ratatouille 😭

[ashen tusk]

that's valid I mean I could have nicknamed remembrance guide remy you never know but no I meant the world's greatest rat chef

i see a cy lurking, pretend you didn't see this, gp chef rat is my favourite I swear

[trim spade]

If only the remembrance guide took us through the realms in sky by pulling our hair

[ashen tusk]

maybe that's what they do when we click the teleport button

[trim spade]

praying that Cy decides to randomly illustrate that

[peak mason]

bald skykids:

[wet light]

Grab their head

[late sonnet]

tbh it's more fun when I draw something and it curses someone internally

[ashen tusk]

surprise blurse, yes

[late sonnet]

the true effect of meme drawings is when I can get a "cy why"
"why did you do this"

[trim spade]

Lmao 🤣 Maybe I’ll draw it tomorrow, can’t get the image out of my head

[late sonnet]

long nek horse

[wet lark]

it still doesss

[spark lance]

I woke up at like 3am by accident yesterday to be greeted your long neck horse drawings and I was very confused and concerned

[trim spade]

I missed the horse but was blursed by the giant toilet in gw

[late sonnet]

I showed it to my friend and they were like cy how did you combine 3 memes into one
horse mask, squidward long teeth biting patty, and monster hunter wiggler
two of those were intentional

[wet light]

I am tempted to draw dark’s snake head but it’s a bit more horror-ish

[valid briar]

~~Wondering if we get more turtle related stuff in nature event ~~

[wet light]

Y’know i was hoping cy draw the yuan meme

[late sonnet]

idk what that is

@trim spade behold #beta-screenshots-videos message
(scroll down from there)

[spark lance]

Turtles in every realm
Just
Turtles everywhere
Your skid is now a turtle
The sky is now a turtle
Candles are now turtles
Turtle

[trim spade]

CRYING 🤣🤣

[spark lance]

i think it'll be themed differently every year
2020 was abt trees/plants
2021 was abt the ocean
and 2022 was abt the turtles

People making horse and snake mask making me laugh 😭

We can't teleport to the guide in Ark anymore?
Actually i like the new cape star design but... I like red better

[trim spade]

I can’t get over the fact that there’s 10 ppl reacting with to that flying long neck horse drawing 🤣😂💀

[spark lance]

Blursed long neck horse and snek masks are not a want anymore, they're a need

[spark lance]

we can still tp from the guide in home to ark

[valid briar]

Sky: Turtles of the Light

[trim spade]

Sea: Turtles of the Wave

[valid briar]

Can’t believe you spoiled TCG’s next project.

[kindred prawn]

My friend said the manta lantern recharges even slower than the last update, is this true?

[valid gate]

Anyone know how to gather the seasonal spirit for the quest? 😭

[late sonnet]

so this actually introduces a 4th meme and it was on twitter where it was like one like = I will make hat taller or whatever equivalent
I think it was the alolan regional variants making sir fetch'd leek sword or the exeggutor veeeeeeerrryyyyyy long
(I just worked off dark's drawing tbh lol)

[spark lance]

it does omg 💀

[kindred prawn]

I just timed it and you get different results depending on your proximity for the manta

[spark lance]

Omg😭

[lament seal]

They made it slower??? 💀

[late sonnet]

listen tak when I make memes I make them with a lot of intent and research so they are high quality

[spark lance]

I'm not sure but it's like 4 seconds

[spark lance]

And I applaud you for that

[kindred prawn]

If you’re standing on a manta tho it’s about 2.8s per flap

[chrome ivy]

I just missed another event.

[ashen tusk]

Don't worry you'll get to join in live

[chrome ivy]

I just don't know when the second butterfly event came from, I don't think they even talk on the beta updates

[kindred prawn]

@trim spade you look like nigri with the white hair being the rice lol

[late sonnet]

every stress test had been announced in the updates channel and the update notes in the app store description, so it helps to read it in detail

[glacial storm]

#beta-announcements message

[ashen tusk]

Unfortunately discord is slow with pings for some people so it's not surprising some missed the announcement

[hollow compass]

In beta you need to be a bit more pro-active yourself

[agile hazel]

We have to start making the next season ourselves then. Someone go grab some lore, I'll get the sparkles

[spark lance]

I can see a community "inspired" season in the future.
And half of the spirits give you different variations of the owl hair.

[agile hazel]

And the other half take it away from you

[spark lance]

Hahaha the vengeful veteran spirits. Already like this season.

[hollow compass]

My comment was more about being active in the channels when you’re in beta, checking for updates and reading patch notes. But the other ideas were also good

[kindred prawn]

Im hungry so how about a season of Gordon Ramsey with a 2.0 version of the salmon sashimi cape being the ult 😂

[dark bear]

crab repellent ULTI CAPE.

Im just day dreaming. Probably never gonna happen but yk😊

[dark bear]

kidney is ready on the go

[late sonnet]

tbh even opening skycord once in a while and seeing if there's the ping notification in the updates channel is better than relying on the discord ping bug

[agile hazel]

It's only #beta-announcements where the ping is bugged for me. Any other ping works normally

[late sonnet]

maybe remove role and get it again see if it makes a change?

[hollow compass]

I just check every day, because I know automated pings are not reliable. It doesn’t take long to open Discord and check for the little notification symbol

[agile hazel]

I should also say bugged on mobile specifically. It's fine on pc

[light wave]

Here ya go:
That will be 229838 Ascended candles pls 😊
jokes aside, I'm totally down for it

[spark lance]

~Slides $5 under the table~
How about now?

[chrome ivy]

I didn't miss it, the ping just blends too perfectly with the last update ping where I did read it but just ignores the announcement.

[left quest]

I’ve got the lore!

[desert token]

I can’t seem to get either tiptoe or skipping to work in shared memories…planted one on the last build and it showed the skipping, while tiptoe just turned into walking. now I checked back and it doesn’t even show the skipping

[verbal snow]

guys help, i just got into sky few days before and somehow i dont see the days of bloom showing on my server 😭

[agile hazel]

Bloom ended a while ago

[verbal snow]

but before that i cant see the event neither

[hollow compass]

Maybe play Sky live version instead of beta, if you want to keep your items and play in a more stable environment

[agile hazel]

Are you in beta?

[neat wagon]

wait a minute, can people even obtain the gratitude pendant in beta? Wasn't there a beta wipe sometime in lightseekers?

[verbal snow]

yea

[hollow compass]

You can’t obtain pendants from past seasons. That’s never been possible

[neat wagon]

I know, I'm talking about the beta, I saw you wearing the gratitude pendant, like I was asking before, wasn't there a beta wipe during lightseekers?

[verbal snow]

well i didnt want to play the live one so i played on the beta version

[hollow compass]

No, there wasn’t

[agile hazel]

What was the date when you logged in and couldn't see Bloom?

[verbal snow]

i think it was 9 days left on the season of remembrance

[agile hazel]

So 4 days ago, Bloom already ended then

[misty bone]

The event should be already there for testing 1 week ago. did you report bug then?

[desert token]

that’s a misconception created from the fact that deer/true ultbrella are impossible to get. they were impossible not because of a wipe, but because the seasons were not tested long enough to complete them

[verbal snow]

no, because the last event didnt appeared at first but after i stayed on the game for few times it shows normal

[hollow compass]

It really isn’t recommended to play only beta, unless you are ok with possibly losing everything and constantly playing a bugged version of the game. Beta is meant for testing first and foremost

[agile hazel]

Guess you just missed it

[verbal snow]

😭 man i just want to test the new outfit

[agile hazel]

You really should get the beta-update role

[verbal snow]

well because before logging into the game, my phone was taken so i cant getting notice 💀

[agile hazel]

What?

[verbal snow]

i mean my mom took my phone

[hollow compass]

You can get the outfit in live later on

[verbal snow]

thanks anyway, where can i get the beta update role?

[hollow compass]

Sorry, forgot to add to Misty’s comment: all our cosmetics were indeed wiped about a month before live release, but for some reason we were allowed to keep the pendants. Gratitude and Rhythm were then tested again after iOS release with updated cosmetics and spirits. I even have photos from pre-launch beta with the deer mask

[chrome cypress]

the lightseeker guide is gone?

[kindred fossil]

Since Bloom guide is now selling past IGC/IAP at their perspective event trees, yes, LS guide is gone

[livid mural]

Late but I love the tulip cape update

Now the shape looks exactly how I imagined it polished

[spark lance]

Pretty good update, I’m still leaving feedback on the ult recharge speed

[swift cave]

TALKING ABOUT FLOWER CAPES, i wish for a yellow flower next season

[fluid cobalt]

Sunflower...

[trim spade]

I wish for electric blue lobelia. It has the most intense deep blue color that seems to be glowing. The shape is pretty interesting too

[spark lance]

well that's good. i don't want them bragging their mask now that i just completed my lightseekers mask collection in live /j

[craggy elbow]

How is everyone feeling on the prosciutto cape now
I still don't agree with the price

[mellow tangle]

Mogege

[cobalt jacinth]

The price is higher but the price increase is less than what the wisteria cape had last year

[rough bolt]

Something's wrong with the gardener pants

[cobalt jacinth]

This cape version is so far from the original design now that only beta testers and others who saw this name can see the salami in it

[agile hazel]

It's salmon now

[rough bolt]

Bought it one time bought it, but it glitched and it's now unusable and it is not in the IAP shop anymore huhu

[spark lance]

If you bought it when it was bugged you won't be able to get them in beta unfortunately

[cobalt jacinth]

This was mentioned in #beta-known-issues same time with the first patch when it arrived. If you bought it when it was bugged it's offered to the void
You can get it in live though

[rough bolt]

Got no money for live IAPs 😔

[cobalt jacinth]

Beta is not a live Sky substitute though 😔

[rough bolt]

Yeah but usually Kon use it to see what IAP things looks like but also see what's weird and wrong

Thank god they changed the new memory spell the old one looked so wrong somehow

[cobalt jacinth]

I like how the memory and shared space spells are arranged. Now everything seems at home and lobbies more organized

[rough bolt]

The new memory spell's colors/light kinda fits in to what location it is placed in, and if you don't see it closer it just looks like a random thing in any maps which is good, no more disturbance visually

[honest wren]

Tempted to skip keeps upping prices and never an increase in candles available per day ;c it’s gotten unreasonable.

[vernal turtle]

I myself am actually considering getting the cape now since it actually looks like a flower cape and not a floppy mess of salami

I just hope they'll lower the price a little bit further. If they do, I'll definitely get it in Live

[dark bear]

hard pass

[lilac solstice]

Don't agree with the price, love how it looks now personally

[opaque cipher]

I want a shared memory station at home to the right of the Eden door. I think it would be great for people to leave messages for their friends there.

[late sonnet]

tbh re: price
it makes me think of how the sakura cape somehow got raised to 90 candles last year, there's a pattern of 15 candle price hike per cape (if they didn't lower it back down to 70 after feedback)
90 sakura > 105 wisteria > 120 tulip
next year could have been a 135 cape if we let it slide

[orchid nexus]

@vernal turtle regarding your question about whether your feedback went through, when messages go red it means discord couldn't send. I don't see any record of a feedback message from you being censored or delivered, so unfortunately it means you'd have to type it up again. For longer messages, for bug reports, for anything that takes a while to write I always recommend that you compose messages in a an a document you can save. I also sometimes select and copy longer messages before trying to send, just in case

[gilded basin]

full of doots
i hope the tulip cape got pinker so it can truly be made of slommy

[vernal turtle]

Okay, thank you, I'll keep that in mind

[opaque cipher]

I would really appreciate a shared memory station (like the one in performance) to be available in the home space. I feel like home is overly cluttered with memory lanterns, and it would feel less intrusive but more organized if this shared memory shrine was located to the right of the Eden door. It would also allow people to communicate their message without using a spell, and I feel like spells make the most sense when not in the home space. There have been several times where I have been at home and talking to a friend, and I accidentally activate a shared memory instead of clicking on the player.

[left quest]

Nah it’s just honey-covered salami
/j

[trim spade]

In under a minute

We don’t know when things come to beta. There’s no consistent schedule

[placid junco]

thank you for the answer! :)

[bronze palm]

good night

[night imp]

So I’m muddled here. Is the cape Rose or Tulip?

[bronze palm]

[dusty walrus]

Just wondering if it's normal that we don't turn into butterflies anymore if we "daydream"?

[lilac solstice]

It's based on a tulip, but you are welcome to interpret it as you like

[spark lance]

Turning into butterflies is a timed event

[night imp]

Ok thanks! I heard both but to me it looks more Tulip.

[valid briar]

Boy, do I love the spicy pringle chips cape

[sudden pine]

oh yea! paprika pringles cape!

[night imp]

Sometimes I think TGC purposely releases stuff to beta they KNOW will wind people up. Entertainment reasons? Like they had to know the cape was going to rile everyone up. 🤣

[spark lance]

Ehhh I doubt they'd do that

[kindred prawn]

I mean sometimes it may feel like that but ya as Starry Krill said, I don’t think they intend that

[iron elbow]

love when tgc workers spend hours and hours on a funny for the chat!! lil silly as a treat

[kindred prawn]

What do you mean in a funny for the chat

[peak mason]

just a funny little wacky silly yk

[iron elbow]

a little jest, a bit of tomfoolery

[peak mason]

a spot of shenanigans, as it were

[kindred fossil]

We do a little trolling

[stuck condor]

sky’s servers have shut down the past 3 and a half years were just a prank

[peak mason]

a social experiment

[steep glade]

A bit of malarkey

[stuck condor]

we failed it fr

[cursive tinsel]

What's this? Early April fools day?

[peak mason]

me studying for the raads test

[night imp]

It was meant to be funny. I’m sure they didn’t mean to. But also the cape was very lackluster at first 🤷🏼‍♀️

[kindred prawn]

I don’t understand 😭 what was supposed to b funny

[stuck condor]

why would they go through all the trouble of modeling, rigging, and texturing a cape for a joke 💀

[wooden hound]

ye i don't see how it benefits them much 🤔

[night imp]

Ok it was a comment. Seriously im sure tgc never purposely released a cosmetic on purpose to anger us.

[sudden pine]

i dont mean to break in to the whatever this is, but when is butterfly party time usually? geyser hour or not geyser hour?

[steep glade]

🤔 I'm thinking the actual joke was missed here ✈️

[spark lance]

Just because it may have seemed lackluster at first doesn't mean it was intended to be a joke item they often put items in beta when they still need a lot done to them (I mean, just look at the Aurora capes. Do you remember when they were all just moth capes?? )

[night imp]

Maybe like granny, geyser? A set time during the event. Every 2 hours.

[lilac solstice]

Haha guys I just worked hard at my job just for a joke.

But in all seriousness they do consistently put in warnings that beta content is not final. So ofc they're gonna release some early versions, and less appealing stuff. They do so to get feedback and see our opinions on stuff

[iron elbow]

when the test was over it said 1,5 hours till next one, so yeah geyser

[wooden hound]

i like the new coloring of the tulip cape

[spark lance]

The new coloring is really nice, tbh. I'd consider getting it in live, but like, I don't even know if I'd be able to afford it

[lilac solstice]

I actually think I'll switch what I'm getting in live. I'm gonna not get the butterfly prop and get the cape now. Because 190 candles is a lot 💀

[wooden hound]

i like that it's more orangey it matches with more of what i have

[lilac solstice]

Ya know, one thing I'm particularly happy about, last year I had feedbacked that I wanted to be able to play music with the spirits in bloom. And lo and behold, this year they added it

[left quest]

What do you mean you don’t wanna waste 9 days of grinding?!!??!??????!
/sarcasm, I might get the cape, I dunno.

[sudden pine]

aw yea, butterfly party time

[left quest]

Repost to join the butterfly krill rave

[cobalt jacinth]

Is 12 flaps currently possible in beta? I guess beta ts (therefore wing buffs) is much behind live (also in summer events testing some ts were missing and replaced with other prop-npc thrillseeker)

[wooden hound]

yeah it's possible

[cobalt jacinth]

Then it's still pretty much just a little above 200 ish
Regardless, I met a fossil 🧓

[wooden hound]

pre-historic sky kids

[cobalt jacinth]

A delta tester

[sudden pine]

i do enjoy the trapped in an updraft thing that occurs

[hollow compass]

Theoretically, I have 200 wl and I think we’re friends in beta, Tib

[cobalt jacinth]

I double checked and we're not yet blep

[hollow compass]

Oh, no

[spark lance]

am i the only one that feels like salami cape needs to be more pink? less orange ?

[twin isle]

Praying next season we get a new call and some accessory items (earrings or hair pins or something).

Not having a real call since flight is wild to me.

[tropic bough]

You can never escape the salami/sashimi regardless of color, it just changes from salmon to tuna 🫡

[idle nexus]

The final scene in remembrance was nice. Made me think that these spirits are resilient and strong.

[sterile trail]

how do i get the gardern pants

[idle nexus]

It should be in the shop menu, but if you claimed it when Bloom started then you're out of luck.

[sterile trail]

i remember claiming it but never got it oh that could be why

[wooden hound]

rip

[sterile trail]

sad not like ill pay money live for them anyways 😦

[wooden hound]

i might i kinda like them

[sterile trail]

for you go for it but for me nah, i never buy the iaps other the seasonal passes, and occasional stuff which is rare, which is why i collect all the iaps on beta when i can so i can see how they look and try em out and see if its worth buying on live

[wooden hound]

i usually don't buy single cosmetic iaps unless i'm certain i'll wear them often enough for it to be worth it. i feel like i'd wear these a lot in live

[bright cloak]

Quick question: can you land on your friend's hand as a butterfly if they do the butterfly holding emote?
If not, it would be cute lol

[idle nexus]

We got the tulip cape instead. So it wasn't too much of a loss

...I only say that because I'm newish to beta and had no candles to see how the tulip cape would look like, if this didn't happen.

[vagrant fable]

Sadly no, once you turn into a butterfly your friends disappear if they're still in skid form

[opaque cipher]

[Redacted]

[ashen tusk]

We're not allowed to campaign for feedback, just leave your own opinion and tgc will consider it.

[opaque cipher]

Well there are at least 6 people here right now. How are you all feeling about the state of bloom now?

[lilac solstice]

I personally love it. I like there are 3 different bloom guides, and I think they should all have the different flowers in their hair. I also like the current look of the bloom cape so far

[spark lance]

I'm certainly fine with everything else, the price of the bloom cape could be changed but that's my only problem ngl

[iron elbow]

it's worth to be excited for

[ashen tusk]

I had a dream about bloom testing having a second event wave where ark turned into a beach area and tgc added snakes everywhere and it was not a great experience, so honestly irl bloom is going well in comparison

[opaque cipher]

I wanted to see an area transform permanently for bloom, and I got it!

[daring sun]

Uh, if they all had the different flowers from each year in their hair they could even sell those hairs , could even be same style just different flowers

[late sonnet]

I like how the collective conclusion sometimes was we just need a pure floral/bug related season because of the overflowing ideas

[spark lance]

we need a flower-themed season

[lilac solstice]

I think a foresty season with lots of plant cosmetics

[opaque cipher]

Here is my version of the floral themed version that I already wrote:

[late sonnet]

MOSS CAPE MOSS CAPE

[ashen tusk]

it would be nice to have more bloom hair or accessories, there's been a lot of focus on capes (which I love capes, gimme all the capes) and I wish there'll be a bit more consideration for other aspects - especially the potential for accessories - next year

[daring sun]

Honestly can we just have many floral/nature/bug seasons in the future?!

[lilac solstice]

I do like we got bloom pants. But I hope we can get more f2p pants after the last few events.

[late sonnet]

i know one repeating request in the wishlist channel is like
just a sprout head accessory 🌱
nothing but a little sprout on your head

[spark lance]

i WOULD love a igc pants in nature

[spark lance]

I wish there were flower crowns for bloom similar to the DoL crown, but themed around the various flowers used in the event just more flower themed hair accessories pls

[ashen tusk]

[lilac solstice]

I was gonna suggest a sprout actually and Cy got to it first also hoping for a jelly bioluminescent fungus cape

[daring sun]

TGC pls let my skid become one with nature I'll become a plant hybrid idc

[ashen tusk]

Have y'all played acnh and seen the glowing moss dress/pants?
I want that in sky

[iron elbow]

a moth tulip bulb

[lilac solstice]

No but omw to google rn 🏃

Okay I WANT THAT

[spark lance]

YES omg I would LOVE glowing moss stuff in sky

[sudden pine]

lichen hat

[daring sun]

Omg, it's so cute!!! Yes pls!

[silk tusk]

Contributing to the nature conversation, MUSHROOM HAT 🍄

[wooden hound]

i want bunnies and rabbits in sky

[spark lance]

Sprout Hair Accesory
it's just a Sprout in your hair
that's just a cute idea

[daring sun]

The glowing moss pants look similar to little prince ulti pants but moss and glowing

[ashen tusk]

googled lichen hat and I don't think a turkey hat on a cat or an octopus hat are what you meant but on the off chance: yes

[ashen tusk]

also for consideration: toadstool dress

[opaque cipher]

Season of Cultivation
Gardening season where spirits find a cove in Isle that needs to be cultivated in order to grow food and flowers. Floral themed cosmetics: (lichen hat, jean style pants, apron with a sunflower in the pocket, & sprout hat, straw hat, bioluminescent jelly fungus cape, suspender pants, purple lilac dress, mushroom hat, green mask with a leaf on the forehead).

[wooden hound]

imagine a crab or manta playing with a crab or manta plush like how humans play with dolls

[spark lance]

Honestly I'd love if next DoN was in an area like the lush caverns from Minecraft, and if it had glowing moss themed cosmetics based off of the acnh items like bubba said

[silk tusk]

Tbh I would love an enchanted forest kinda section in hidden forest 👀 maybe a fantasy looking season?

[sudden pine]

ill post a picture

[spark lance]

feel like axolotls could be next for days of nature ngl
axolotl hair accesory

[late sonnet]

season of D&D but just druids

[opaque cipher]

I'm editing the season idea to fit what people say they want

[ashen tusk]

honestly the more I look at the octopus hat the more I want it in game like imagine it like jellyfish hair but RAINBOW OCTOPUS

[sudden pine]

hello we have converted to lichen and axolotl chat 🙂

[iron elbow]

bubba I would literally wear that octopus hat irl if I could

[late sonnet]

then why aren’t you

[lilac solstice]

I actually put the bioluminescent cape in my fan season idea too! I think it'd be a cool cape

[spark lance]

Ngl when you said octopus hat I was thinking it would look like Splatoon octoling hair for some reason

I swear I totally don't have Splatoon brainrot-

[wooden hound]

i've mentioned this before but it really goes with your idea: a prop that is a watering can. the watering can will do a little animation where you pour water on the ground and wherever you pour it, one little flower will bloom there

[iron elbow]

only cause its not the most common crochet pattern yk

[ashen tusk]

turns out it's on Amazon and they have different colours, I'm losing my mind

[paper tulip]

As someone who enjoys Xianxia, cultivation has an entirely different meaning

[late sonnet]

off topic but for the octopus hat enjoyers look up chuggaconroy hiker dance it’s beautiful

[iron elbow]

I'm beyond jealous rn omg

[sudden pine]

(im not sayin you guys need to look up fleece octopus hat or anything...)

[wooden hound]

did beta open yesterday?

[stable quiver]

Oh man… body distortion made it to live

[spark lance]

Wdym?

[wooden hound]

i mean like people could download the app?

[daring sun]

Oooh that bug where the body looks like it's cut in half in certain positions?

[ashen tusk]

dying at the one that looks like octavian from ac

[spark lance]

There hasn't been an invite wave since November, though I believe Google play might randomly open slots when testers leave?

[golden sparrow]

Omg octopus hats reminds me of this show as a kid, and there was a character in it who was a mermaid with an octopus hair or hat idk- nostalgia

[late sonnet]

@sudden pine your last image just gave me a visual of shrek ears cosmetic lol

[sudden pine]

heh, basically. in order to be lichen you need to have like, 5 of them 🙂

[wooden hound]

i just noticed it was free to download in the app store yesterday and somebody said they just got beta in #beta-looking-for-group so i was wondering

[iron elbow]

cala maria?

[stable quiver]

Exactly this. I’ve reported it in beta a few times and it’s just heartbreaking to see it making to live

[wooden hound]

that sounds horrifying

[golden sparrow]

It’s been in live for a few months now 💀😭 I found out the hard way late at night one night and ended up loosing my voice bc I laughed too hard. My friend did too

Someone drew the screenshot and it’s now my pfp in this server

[spark lance]

Ooh okay. Yeah it was likely one of those random openings it does when testers leave, though the person in #beta-looking-for-group seems to be iOS which is a bit

[golden sparrow]

Sometimes it does happen, if you keep refreshing the invite page there’s an occasional person who slips thru

Although they usually just afk that process and use external methods to continuously refresh

[ashen tusk]

people really be chibi falling into beta testing after invites are closed

[iron elbow]

...ok wdym "usually" with that last part, it sounds hella sus

[wooden hound]

nah cuz i just assumed that they joined the last invite and didn't start being active on beta til recently cuz honestly that'd be a mood. when i joined beta, i was inactive for a whole week before i started making progress because i was in no mood to collect candles, friends, spirits, winged lights, realms, eden

[opaque cipher]

Did you report it in #report-a-live-bug ?

[idle nexus]

We should have a season in isle, where everything is a desert but as the season goes on the land becomes lush and fertile.

A place where we can play around in tall flowing grass would be amazing.

[gilded basin]

i haven't seen that video in years but i still think about it all the time

[golden sparrow]

it’s just my brief assumption, I wouldn’t dare think someone have enough hours to spend just sitting at their device clicking refresh over and over

[golden sparrow]

When I joined I was so lucky. But I had to do some stuff so I couldn’t start playing til I got home, but when I got home I did everything. Quickly learnt that the first thing you should unlock is chibi mask 💀

[twin isle]

I demand another season in sanctuary

[iron elbow]

it had two nature events in a row, where the season is gonna fit? on one of the itty bitty islands?? 😭

imagine 6 aprits and a guide awkwardly standing near each other on the lounge chair island and doing the fire prophet spin

[twin isle]

Oh dang I keep saying sanctuary when I mean daylight

Obvs we know where I go the most in daylight bc this keeps happening HAHA

I basically solely go to sanctuary in daylight to Cr and NOWHERE else bc it hurt my eyes

Well then I amend my Statement to say I demand a season in daylight

[iron elbow]

same, but I dont praire aside from sanctuary cause I find it very boring

[twin isle]

Omg I love sanctuary Cr bc candle cakes and I have a route that doesn't require backtracking. I love when a place doesn't make me backtrack to Cr. ||Looking at u valley||

[spark lance]

agreed rae

[lilac solstice]

I actually love valley but yes sanctuary is a nice compacted area with lots of candles and wings. Plus I personally love the beach and it has one of my favorite themes in game

[iron elbow]

even tho I avoid citadel as much as possible, valley cr is still my favorite, especially the temple - village - harmony hall part 🤲

I demand more mini games tgc !!

[agile hazel]

Why not another Valley season? We totally haven't had one in ages

[spark lance]

n o /j

[twin isle]

no /srs

Valley is like the spoiled child in terms of season areas give some other places season areas

[spark lance]

prairie is that popular kid with only 1 season
isle is the forgotten child

[indigo gale]

I hope isle gets one soon, every other realm seemed to have gotten tons

[twin isle]

Daylight or isle. I think they're the only two areas who only have one season area right?

[indigo gale]

Forest-Vault have 2 areas now so Daylight and Isle are the single season area places left

[kindred prawn]

i want a season in sle nextttt i feels like its been too long

[fluid cobalt]

A season that as cool as or cooler than prophecy season

[trim spade]

Eden has no season areas

[agile hazel]

Counterargument. Valley has the best 3 seasons

[twin isle]

Oh yeah I wasn't saying the seasons sucked. Just that valley itself is spoiled bc they have so many seasons. TGC is like doting on valley lol

[wooden hound]

and it should be right at pnr too so anyone who joins after the season and can't tp via season guide anymore will have to risk their wl to do these quests and get a few hearts

[trim spade]

Those doors at the coliseum behind Aurora mean there’s gonna be another season area there. And man it should live up to the 3 best seasons in sky

[spark lance]

Sorry to break it to you but... that area was just a tutorial area for concert moths

[left quest]

Please we need another Prairie season 😭😭

[peak mason]

isle pleas

[spark lance]

that doesn't mean they can't reuse it? the concert has already ended for the public so that whole tutorial is no longer available.

[wooden hound]

hopefully the next season is a bit lighter. remembrance with the war, aurora made me wanna cry half the time too it was so beautiful, and shattering was a whole thing in itself. maybe a season of counseling for all the traumatized sky kids would be nice

[raw wasp]

Shattering didn’t really make me feel anything tbh

Also I edited cus i realized what i said made 0 sense 💀

[twin isle]

I felt something with shattering when I stayed up with friends to watch the first eruption. It felt like it would be super cool but then come to discover it was basically unplayable on switch in live 😭

[kindred fossil]

Who's the next punching bag so Shattering will become "profound" and "a product of it's time"

[raw wasp]

God

[wooden hound]

i don't really mean sad regarding shattering as much as i mean confused and angry because that's how shattering made me feel especially that one shard by grandma 😃

[twin isle]

Let's hope we don't have a season worse than that the bugs were horrendously bad

[raw wasp]

YEAH idk it wasn’t a good season for me and it ended up being like the breaking point where i said “I don’t want to play this game the way ive been playing it anymore”

I kinda came back but i’m still too burnt out to bother with candle run even though i still have like 6 ts i missed

[wooden hound]

yeah shattering was my burnout point for some time i came back for aurora though

[spark lance]

The only things I'm thankful for regarding shattering is red shards giving another way to get ac and krill cape. Though I do feel like krill cape could have been done better

[raw wasp]

I liked assembly a lot cus i think the spirits are some of the most like. Lively characters in sky in a way

Like, distinct personality conveyed via design

[spark lance]

i started disliking it after the season ended in live. it was super confusing wondering why the shards are not falling the way they used to
it's still my 2nd favorite seasons in terms of cosmetics tho

[twin isle]

The ac and the fact we got some cool creature cosmetics were the only good thing HAHA at least for me

[wooden hound]

i am happy that there's an easier way of getting ac that doesn't involve wlring every week but shattering didn't really give me the feels i was hoping for and the memories just confused me

[kindred fossil]

Assembly fans in the trenches in 2021 it was the punching bag

[cosmic mist]

assembly was my first full season, i’ll always love it so much

[raw wasp]

YEAH 💀💀 i will NOT tolerate assembly slander

[twin isle]

Honestly I was like "oh I'll be able to take a break now I don't have to run Eden every we-" elder masks have joined the party

And then I did shard events AND Eden with no break

[spark lance]

i'm still mad the shard rewards are so little... like i fully remember them saying it's supposed to be an alternative way of earning ac, from eden, but like in a week, if there's even shards, the ac you get isn't even half of what you get in eden like how is that an alternative with how expensive everything is

[wet light]

Any flying shard and in forest make me weep, bonus if you are all alone. I don't think anything can beat Shattering soon
Wait there are ppl dislike Assembly??

[raw wasp]

Ive just given up any hope on obtaining those cus ik i’m gonna get mad burnout from trying

[spark lance]

I adore assembly spirits but good god completing the quests was difficult, especially since it was just me and one other person doing them together (both of us using 2 accs at once)

[cosmic mist]

also assembly had some of the best hairstyles imo, I love how unique they are

[twin isle]

Right the strong eruptions in the first two weeks happening every single day was crazy good. They should do that like once every 3 weeks where one week is all red shards every day like the start of the season. Personally I'd love that bc elder masks.... Spensiv

[wooden hound]

assembly has some of my favorite cosmetics

[raw wasp]

Yeah a lot of ppl hated it actually

I think its cus of the quests mostly

But also people were probably expecting a different kind of story from it because a lot of ppl really liked dreams’ story and felt like assembly didn’t live up to it

[spark lance]

the ult cape paved the way for the crazy capes we got in the next seasons

[raw wasp]

Dreams is overrated story wise imo

It’s a cute and good story but I wasn’t exactly moved and in tears on the floor from it and idk why ppl act like its the absolute best thing ever

I think it might just be the Nostalgia factor though

[cosmic mist]

I personally think Assembly had a very cozy and sweet story, and both Dreams and Assembly made me actually feel something. I do agree Dreams did it a little better, that final ice skating duet was AWESOME

[raw wasp]

Yah the quests were great, especially the last part. Assembly quests were really boring in comparison

[wooden hound]

i really like performance season

[twin isle]

When I played it as a tlp moth it made me tear up. Do I think we have a better story now? Yeah. Aurora made me have actual sustained tears LOL

Imo best stories are TLP, AURORA, Dreams

But dreams got me and I wasn't from dreams.

[agile hazel]

Cause Dreams had an overt story being told unlike prior seasons which were more implied/subtle

[cosmic mist]

im so sad i got burnt out at that time and missed it 😭

[raw wasp]

Good point ya👍👍

[wooden hound]

i liked that the performance quests were very interactive

[twin isle]

And not bugged super bad iirc. Feels like when they try to do a super interactive play based season it is buggy

[cosmic mist]

I personally really liked Flight. It had some really neat cosmetics, and the area itself is so pretty and cozy to hang out in also I love the spirits

[spark lance]

Performance quests were absolutely amazing, I loved completing them so much

Performance is one of my favorite seasons by far cosmetic wise and quest wise, only barely being beaten by flight

[raw wasp]

A bunch of the different functions of the village theatre are actually now broken last time i checked💀💀

[agile hazel]

Just the first quest already made Aurora my fav

[twin isle]

I liked flight but felt the story conflict was resolved WAY too quickly. Was like "oh nooo the golden wasteland is leaking i- oh it's fixed 😐" I wish they would have sustained that a bit more bc it was definitely COOL to see the lighting change and everything felt more sinister. Tone shifted hard and then I blinked at it was over.

[wooden hound]

only thing with assembly is i wish there was some easier way to get people to complete the multiplayer quests with you that wasn't simply waiting for a passerby to notice you and show some pity to help maybe a way to make it more obvious that you need help or easier server merge idk but just waiting sucked

[raw wasp]

the way u described it made me laugh in my head tbh

[cosmic mist]

I agree, it would’ve been insane to see a krill or two slip in, or even some sort of damaging rain. If there was more risk and it was stretched a little longer it would have felt more rewarding and relieving

[spark lance]

the trailer they released fooled us
we were like, oooh lore when everything turned green
but when the quests came out
by we, i mean us live peeps

[twin isle]

Skykids really do be shocking spirits with how easy they swoop in and fix problems

[wet light]

i really want another season like Tlp again, the main thing make me love it is that the prince is talking to us
Talented Builder may or may not have been my first spirit crush lol

[raw wasp]

Grandma spirit needs to open a pickle jar

Use the new prop to lift weights and become to open pickle jar

[cosmic mist]

I feel like Talented Builder would just be really good at baking and they would always give people the BEST desserts

[twin isle]

Some people might hate it but I really did also love talking with the spirits. It felt like they had more soul and I instantly felt less lonely when my Skykid was actually being talked to by them (TLP spirits).

[wooden hound]

my entire thoughts consisted of "this is a child you're tasking with this, a little, itty, bitty, baby child, a child who will be thrown 1000 feet into the air upon stepping foot in there. why did you think this was a good idea"

[spark lance]

why u talking about my man

[twin isle]

If he's ur man why u got chuckle in the name 🤨 not representing /j

[wet light]

i legit was hoping we can only fix wind path by whatever power the next season have and it keep getting worse

[glad sleet]

Agree! I wish there was a way to toggle between the light and dark lighting of the wind paths area
I got really excited when conflict came into the story but it was resolved too quickly and the story fell flat for me. If there were more quests to expand the story it would’ve been nice
I had high hopes for flight, bc the cosmetics and area were so cool and partly bc I’m a tlp moth and the story absolutely blew me away
Flight’s story couldn’t compete with TLP’s bc of that

[twin isle]

I wonder if they'd ever do that... Like drag out a season conflict to be resolved over another season. I think it could be pretty cool.

[raw wasp]

I mean, you can relive the quest memories to toggle the lighting iirc

[cosmic mist]

Also I feel like whenever a spirit had a birthday, they would do group baking with the other Flight spirits obviously the other ones would probably set the kitchen on fire by accident

[wet light]

our man he's big enough to hug all of us

[raw wasp]

Big… man… big man?????????

Holy bingle!!! Is that big man from the hit video game splatoon 3??!!!!

[twin isle]

I demand when a season of spirits or player has a birthday they all get party hats on head for a day and can't take em off

[cosmic mist]

TALENTED BUILDER = BIG MAN FROM SPLATOON 3??? 😱😱😱 NOT CLICKBAIT

[raw wasp]

They’re definitely connected together seasons by their lore before ( ) but not by their stories directly, i think that’d be really cool!

[twin isle]

Ik we're a long way off, but I wonder if tlp spirits (my moth season) will ever get incorporated into a days of event. They're so gloomy (clothes) I can't picture it. Maybe for Halloween 😭? Just thinking bc enchantment and lightseekers AND assembly have been looped in.

I can picture gloating narc standing on edge of cauldron cheering and then falling in. And probably lamplighter or smth laughing at em. Maybe lamplighter can help you light the fire for cauldron (WHEN narc gets out of the pot).

[wet light]

sanctuary spirit def gonna get slot in day of rainbow again, but i really want rhythm crew to be the main host.

[wooden hound]

something being referenced in one season, but not really explained, then is explained in a future season and it all comes together nicely in one big pile of lore

[twin isle]

They have such fluffy clothes I could picture them in the feast event or something 🤲 idk if anyone can think of something better. Belonging obvs could fit in feast event too. Imagine them around grandma belonging with the knit items she made they came together in belonging and now can come together in feast?

Would be neat if they were in her igloo. Maybe rhythm spirits in the roof of office when it's all decorated. They could be skating, sitting in the benches with the feast pillows, dancing around the office rooftop festive tree, juggler could get launched from the rooftop canon or something.

[half plaza]

i agree personally not a fan of season with a lot of interactivity because it ends up being buggy on my end so I wasn't really a fan of dreams and performance's storyline

[opaque cipher]

[late sonnet]

dreams I enjoyed the final quest a lot it made my heart warm uwu
(but also I'm biased to village of dreams because I'm a city person at heart so that realm is my favourite for that reason lol)

[opaque cipher]

Isle Season > Prairie Season because Prairie feels complete while Isle does not

[spark lance]

i hope an Isle and Prairie Season this year

[twin isle]

Also anyone think it's wild we are gonna test a new season sooner rather than later? Testing for the April season drop usually happens Feb 25-March 1 so it feels so fast. I wonder when we'll go through a doot drought

(Also ik it doesn't have a set time but looking at past testing doots for new seasons would imply it's close)

[gilded parrot]

@twin isle, Beta testers do not receive information in advance and no one knows when something will happen. Please check out #news for Live announcements and #beta-announcements for what's currently being tested in Beta.

[spark lance]

How long will it take to release the quota of the test suit next time?

[agile hazel]

We don't know, it's random

[spark lance]

thank

[lusty coral]

I don't understand that the Flower Day Guide of Encounter is sent to the Magic Ark at the disembarkation point of the boat, not directly to the Flower Day Guide at the Flower Day activity site in 2023. The transmission of the guide on the day of flowers there is direct to the destination. One more thing, is the butterfly also called butterfly? That is a light spot. The butterflies in the map are not like this. There is a butterfly hair ornament in the dawn season

[cobalt jacinth]

It sounds as a nice #beta-feedback to me

[lusty coral]

There are always reverse updates, which can be transmitted to the active location at the beginning

[agile hazel]

Reverse updates?

[lusty coral]

The updated experience should be better than the original experience, but sometimes the updated experience has deteriorated

Some changes. Of course, the test environment is always changing. If this test is over, that's what happens when the official service is launched, or the final effect

But that butterfly😭

[agile hazel]

What about the butterfly?

[lusty coral]

It is next to the fountain of the magic ark at the activity place of Flower Day in 2023 that meditation can turn into butterflies

If there is no accident, this Huazhida test is the final test, and then the official service will be launched later

[dense grail]

i just did and uh

The options are very hard to press or does not pop up

[obsidian spire]

Hi

[dense grail]

hello

[ancient zephyr]

Guys help TGC just stole my 17 hearts
Sky beta was clearly normal to me but when I was going to buy the manta it sayed that I needed more hearts but I was with 17 and when I was going to check I suddenly was with 0 but its not appearing to me

[spark lance]

did you check if you actually got the prop in the closet?

[hollow compass]

And unfortunately, sometimes things don't work as intended in beta, so if you didn't get the prop you should bug report that

[spark lance]

and compensation does not happen in beta

[ancient zephyr]

[proper inlet]

Yes, because beta is just a test environment, not a substitute to the live game

[sand dawn]

@hollow compass saw your beta bug report about the Gratitude pendant that refuses to stay equipped.
My beta Lightseeker pendant does the same thing. If I equip it it is no longer equipped after restarting the game.
It’s been like that for me forever though. Is it new for you..?

[hasty vessel]

Y’all where do you think the next season will be? I’m hoping it’s prairie, a new bright sunlit area i think the team will save a season in isle for their animation project i wonder if it will be a film or short series, but having a new episode / clips release every week would be pretty interesting

I also really hope they get rid of the 2 week wait times for the next quest giver quest. It’s nice to stay engaged the entire season, sending this to feedback

[kindred fossil]

Do you need translation assistance?

[scarlet moon]

They probably don't know how to speak English.

[sterile trail]

I just woke up, and got 3 notifications from here, no one’s feelings are safe from me until I’ve fully woken up

[twin plover]

No speak English

[chilly zenith]

they dont but they are mad so someone needs to translate and calm them down

[scarlet moon]

Then maybe step away until you feel better? You don't wanna end up taking it out on an innocent stranger.

[sterile trail]

True lmao
But I’m passive aggressive to everyone so oof. But it’s only 7 and I don’t have to work until 5 and no classes today back to sleep I go

Night night

[scarlet moon]

You should probably work on that then. Being rude to strangers isn't very good.

[hoary goblet]

A quick Google translate will show that they said something.. really interesting

Also I noticed one blocked message 😭
So random but night

[twin plover]

yes!

thank you :)

[chilly zenith]

beta is available through an invite wave, so you have to wait until the next invite

[scarlet moon]

Um I tried to help them in Japanese and my whole app crashed and tried to kick me out of the server???? What in the racism is that--

Discord needs a translator button if it's gonna do that....it's unfair to other cultures that may not know English.

[hoary goblet]

Google translate?

[chilly zenith]

you could just go on google translate

[scarlet moon]

Yes but that's too many spoons and fills my clipboard with copy paste junk

[chilly zenith]

rest in peace

[kindred fossil]

That would be great

[idle nexus]

A desert-like journey inspired season would be so good, especially if the lore is that this took place after the war and everything was desolate. Then, as you complete tasks, the place becomes more lush and green 💚. Maybe even mantas and butterflies would show up too.

A season like this would be amazing! It would be like an oasis after with the spirits starting anew here.

[scarlet moon]

Sounds like a good Isle season idea!

[hollow compass]

No, I realise this has been happening for quite some time now. I even think I reported it earlier. The strangest bug! I also heard from a friend that their equipped stance disappeared when reloading the game

[topaz turtle]

Is there any update regarding the manta spawner's recharging speed?

[kindred fossil]

No

[fleet timber]

Hi, does anybody know why there are so many chinese people on sky beta? I’ve been wondering for a long time

[spark lance]

There just is, some of them use beta as their main rather than global I think

[sand dawn]

From what I once heard from a Chinese teen in beta, the NetEase version of Sky has playtime restrictions so that’s why many Chinese youth use beta in place of live.

[agile hazel]

Oh yeah that's an actual thing I forgot about

[cobalt jacinth]

Speaking with some close Chinese friends they also tend to say "global server" has kinder vibe (maybe just coincidence)

[agile hazel]

Considering the drama that happened when Netease version got ported to Android, I wouldn't be surprised

[cobalt jacinth]

Can you please elaborate a tiny but about it (maybe in DM if you don't find it fitting here)?

[agile hazel]

A lot of people got very mad

[chrome cypress]

Live -> global/International server
ch server -> National server
beta -> test suit
mostly come play global/beta cause in ch server there are lot of problems not only cause the provider(no free speech) but also between people there (bully,discrimination by cosmetics u use and lot other), also people younger people have limited time play, and i can say ch player are mostly all young one unlike global where there are lot of adults.

[spark lance]

Seems like a normal day in beta sky.

[kindred fossil]

We're talking about the NE version of the game, no?

[agile hazel]

Lmao no, beta would just be a simple disagreement compared to the war the happened on the CH server

Even the cat hair fiasco would be nothing in comparison

[kindred fossil]

Hackers were threatening players on the NE server over the merge

[agile hazel]

Yeah just be glad global illegitimate players can't really anything do more than just get cosmetics and candles

Global Sky has a lot of issues and needs improvement but the CH server has a million times more issues. Getting showered with candle 'compensations' is just a distraction

[spark lance]

Chinese publishers are "complicated".
Can't believe genshin gained soo much traction.

[marble cipher]

Why did tgc change the recharge speed of ulti gift manta lantern.. i quickly bought the season pass cos i thought i could finally forget the bonfire but then tgc changed the recharge speed im sooooo angryyy i want a refund!!!!

[languid sandal]

Hey I have 2 questions:

1. Has the grass shrunk back down?
2. Which traveling spirit is next?

[gilded basin]

<- full of slommy

[spark lance]

Grass looks to still be that same new length to me??

Next ts should be water prophet I believe #beta-discussion message

[jovial delta]

When will the beta application release next time

[lilac solstice]

Don't have a set time that invites come out. You can get a role to be pinged when they do come out in #beta-faq

[dark bear]

dispite all the stuff that has happened the past couple years, Beta would STILL be a much more tamer version. If there is disagreement, the most you can expect is not receiving a ⬆️ or 👍 reaction emote to your message, cant say the same for the folks over there 💀).

For example, i believe there was a chinese vet here, another person (whom i am presuming is a vet also) was talking about ways to bring back old Ulti, and i saw that chinese vet straight up call those folks “Fomo” 💀. Here for the most part, if a person disagree with your suggestion, they keep their opinions to themselves or feedback it in the feedback channel without putting the other (opposing opinionated) people down, again this is Generally speaking.

[chrome cypress]

what is fomo?

[dark bear]

like you have an obsession of getting everything coz you feel like you’re missing out on something

[spark lance]

Fear of missing out

[kindred prawn]

Whaaaaaa how long is the playtime restriction? Like once you’ve played x hrs of sky a day, you won’t b able to play anymore that day??

[sand dawn]

idk but yeah, something like that.

[chrome cypress]

they cannot play more than three hours per week

[kindred prawn]

Per week???? Wow darn. I wonder why they restrict them from playtime. Like what’s the purpose 🤔

[dark bear]

i believe there is a national exam called GAOKAO. Which is a very intense exam for them. It like clearing this exam is like make it or break it kinda thing for them

(AGAIN, ITS JUST AN ASSUMPTION. NOT 100% SURE. THERE COULE BE OTHER REASONS TOO)

[kindred prawn]

Well yes I’ve heard of thag but like- damn

[neon basin]

it's also a cultural thing i believe

[chrome cypress]

"Chinese regulators have imposed limits on online gaming for minors. Chinese children will therefore only be able to play three hours a week between 20:00 and 21:00 on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays."
Is cause they governments want them focus on study

[sudden pine]

there were definitely chinese people on my bench in beta concerts having conversations that they definitely would get censored

[kindred prawn]

Do not only the three hrs thing but they could only play during the weekend??

[sand dawn]

in other words.. there is no way they can complete a season unless..💸💸💸

[chrome cypress]

yeah thaa normal, cause in ch server u can't talk freely, my friend talked to me about government stuff and what he no like about it, next day the provider block him from chat for 2 days

[kindred prawn]

Forget the dailies how they even cr enough to buy from ts and events 😭 but for adults this doesn’t happen?

[chrome cypress]

in weekends they have douple candles cake in every realms

[kindred prawn]

Ahh.. so 8 candle cakes in each realm?

[orchid nexus]

This isn't the place to discuss differences between the global game and the one played in China. Likewise, it is not the place to discuss government restrictions or any of the politics involved

[chrome cypress]

usually is 4 , 8 during important national holidays.
if u wanna know more dm me.

• sorry alex >< *

[gilded parrot]

no

[wooden hound]

apparently skybot says no

[orchid nexus]

thank you skybot for your undying commitment to making zero sense

[desert token]

season ending in 5 days, feels like it went by so fast compared to aurora couldn’t participate in the butterfly tests for bloom due to the scheduling, but how was it for those of you that did?

[spark lance]

[signal wing]

Is seasonal pass free in sky betaa!!!!

[lilac solstice]

All iaps are free in beta yes

[spark lance]

They should make the tulip cape yellow... Or a less delicious looking color.

[vernal turtle]

Idk, I like the red color and see it as an actual flower now. But I guess most people still can't unsee the salami cape and are still comparing it to other foods

[wooden hound]

i've just had my first experience of a chinese player running away as soon as i say i'm from the US

[spark lance]

It is imported ham now.

[lilac solstice]

I actually like the cape as it is now. I kinda wish the fade was more orangey-yellow rather than pink like everyone wants. But it's very cute imo

[maiden pond]

I really hope they release the last Elder masks sometime halfway into this year. I'm about to buy my final one here next Eden reset, as long as I don't skip tomorrow's red shard event. After that, I don't really have anything to spend my ascended candles on other than wing buffs and resize potions. But I am content with my height regardless.

[spark lance]

Nothing wrong with liking the cape💖
It just looks too much like food for me.

[lilac solstice]

Well i can see why it looks like salami too skykids are hungry lmao

[kindred fossil]

They'll change it to green and we'll think it's lettuce, yellow and it'll look like pringles... I fear there's no escaping the food-likeness allegations, in conclusion: yummy

[wooden hound]

i want just a little nibble of that cape

[spark lance]

It will look good as is, combined with flowy accessories and a matching pair of pants/dress.

[kindred fossil]

Yah, it's fine as is

[spark lance]

Maybe some toast.

[kindred fossil]

I'm on a diet, I'll have it with a cup of dark water

[stuck condor]

i still really can’t tell if dark water has alcoholic properties for some reason or that one lp spirit got so down bad he just started gulping tar

[kindred fossil]

Dunno, doesn't affect me

[spark lance]

Of course not, you are already a ghost.
Also the reason the diet is not working.

[left quest]

Every time I open this chat it’s about
— days of salami cape
— DOOT?!??!
— bashing Skybot

[kindred fossil]

I think it is working, I don't appear in mirrors at all

[spark lance]

That's vampires.

[kindred fossil]

Outdated, get in with the times

[valid briar]

Days of Turtles event when

[kindred fossil]

We had that last year for Nature

[valid briar]

I need more.

[left quest]

Two turtles!

[kindred fossil]

Tempting, but enough Sanctuary

[opaque cipher]

And they treat cosmetics as a hierarchy so if you have "cheap" cosmetics you get trashed on

[kindred fossil]

I got two Enchantment related events in a row so my work here is done, I'm betting on a Sanctuary and Flight tie-in for Nature

[opaque cipher]

Until someone lives in a place with no free speech, people can never understand what it's like to have free speech

[left quest]

Turtle in the middle of Wasteland.

[opaque cipher]

It's interesting to me because I think that it's really cool if TGC saves the season in isle for the animation project, that would really flush out the area a lot more than just a regular season.

[spark lance]

50 days till end of season on live and i already have only one spirit left.
Hope they add some extra iaps like with aurora or something.

[left quest]

I haven’t even been collecting dailies because of burnout.

[maiden pond]

Usually with regular TGC themed seasons, they don't add IAPs.

[spark lance]

I've barely been remembering to do dailies and such on both versions of the game, I've only been pushing myself to complete the first 2 spirits to buy the scarf ult in live... Which I got a few days ago, and now almost all my motivation is down the drain since I barely want any of the other cosmetics (though I will still end up getting them because aha fomo)

I'm really excited for the next season and days of nature in beta though, I wonder what tgc has in store for us

[kindred fossil]

If they ever do that it will be the opposite of exciting

[wooden hound]

i hope a new cosmetic or two is added for days of nature this year i mean i'm assuming so (preferably an igc item 💀)

[lilac solstice]

My wallet is still recovering. I don't need more seasonal iaps

[kindred fossil]

Take a pick between a prop priced at 100 and a small neat accessory

[wooden hound]

small accessory because unless that prop has a really cool and useful function i could not care less for it 💀

[spark lance]

I'm just an aurora moth, so this season felt kind of lackluster in terms of cosmetics. That cater to my likes.

[gilded parrot]

this is why we live like heathens, stealing from the trees of Eye of Eden

[kindred fossil]

Small accessory it is, that will be a yellow coral crown

[wooden hound]

nah fr because i'm already kinda over remembrance and ready to move on. not that it's a bad season, but since i finished it in beta it's crazy seeing 50 days left in live

[nocturne onyx]

new season testing usually starts when the live one has about 30-40 days left

[gilded parrot]

@nocturne onyx, Beta testers do not receive information in advance and no one knows when something will happen. Please check out #news for Live announcements and #beta-announcements for what's currently being tested in Beta.

[twin isle]

For April season drop last few testing for around that time prior to the season was Feb 25-march 1 so I hope we see what the new season is soon.

Inb4 skybot tells me we don't receive information in advance

Oh pleasant surprise

[spark lance]

Remembrance ult being a disappointment didn't help

[twin isle]

I still feedback abt the speed but I feel the last doot might be the solid one they release to live and we are done with 0.20.5

[wooden hound]

also, i feel this. i was afraid to say it but this season's cosmetics don't hit the same as aurora's especially the first ult which honestly should've just been a regular seasonal item imo

[kindred fossil]

Well you've gone from fancy dazzled out backup dancers to the horrifying realities of war

[wooden hound]

i was desperately hoping for a third ult that might make up for the disappointment i felt with the first ult but a third one never came 😭

[kindred fossil]

It's a jarring transition if you're still very much new

[maiden pond]

Me who had to deal with underwater Krills as my first season: Yep. This is the norm.

[wooden hound]

yeah there was a massive shift between shattering-aurora-remembrance

[blazing blade]

Season of Group Therapy

[wooden hound]

season of healing pls

[light wave]

This was actually a subject i had to study in my bachelors and it gives me nothing but nightmares.🗿

[spark lance]

I don't know... Just doing that quest line out of season gave me new phobias that i didn't even know existed before. It was pretty cool.

[vital nexus]

season of chill please, I've been haunted by the horrors since i started <- shattering moth

[wooden hound]

dude i remember when shattering started and everyone was like
shattering moths:

[light wave]

As long as you pray for a Valley of triumph season, you'll get happy season (based on past track records) 😂

[blazing blade]

Season of the Emotional Turmoil of Growing Up and also Have Fun in Eden Moths
TLP moth gannng

[sand dawn]

I’m imagining Season of Healing as a kind of second Sanctuary.. could be so nice!

[twin isle]

I would really like just a normal season with good story. Rememberance has good story but I just honestly don't want any new game mechanics. Like how they updated shared spaces and introduced spells. Ik many people like that, but my brain is tired of trying new stuff. I just want a simple season with good cosmetics and a compelling story might be unpopular opinion since many like new stuff/improved mechanics.

Story in seasons, if it is super good trumps, any new mechanics introduced for me.

[light wave]

glances at 2019-2020 seasons

[steady flume]

another season like dreams

[wooden hound]

i want something like prophecy again, little minigames, sort of. something different from savenger hunting as is done in assembly, flight, abyss, remembrace, am i forgetting anything?

[spark lance]

Season of birbs, and the new thing is actual wings flapping animations and another owl hair.

[wooden hound]

imagine every few seasons from now on there will be new version owl hair 💀

[blazing blade]

The next owl hair will be bug antenas and Even Longer

[steady flume]

its a nice hairstyle but i never understood the obsession tbh 😭

[twin isle]

I actually think it would be cool if they had like a whole line of owl antenna on hair tbh. It's very cute.

[light wave]

As Nagati said, the whole thing about Season of Rhythm will forever be funny to me, because people HATED the new ultimate gift at the time. Seeing the turntable now is just...💀

[wooden hound]

people obsess over it because they think it gives them higher status over other players to have it since it's an older item and ult

[steady flume]

the grass is always greener on the other side or something idk proverbs

[blazing blade]

I honestly think Pengu hair looks better so they can keep it I like the fluff

[dark bear]

i can bet you $500. Any hair that is anime-esque or similar like genshin will blow over in the world of sky. it’s something about anime hair and jagged sharped edged hairs, i tell ya 💀💀💀

[steady flume]

yeah only deer mask tops it in terms of status ig :') man status in a game like sky is so weird to me

[spark lance]

Lol no in my case. I just like that type of hair styles. Kinda like the hide'n seek one but fancy.

[light wave]

YES having both variants, Id always prefer the latter version coz its actually floofy and maybe more..hairlike ig?

[blazing blade]

I could care less about status I just want the wasteland hair because it's peak animal mask hair

[steady flume]

i just want more curly or wavy hair and not timid bookworm braid #5 or owl hair #3

[wooden hound]

with all due respect, i wasn't referring to you, then

[blazing blade]

Witch hair 2 baybeeee

A shorter witch hair would be sweet tho

[spark lance]

That's the real deal. I was just a moth without candles when i saw that.

[wooden hound]

i was so burnt out during days of mischief i regret it

[kindred prawn]

Srry for the kinda cold ping but I DMed ya!

[spark lance]

I was also too inexperienced to be willing to buy the cat mask... Biggest regret.

[kindred prawn]

Unfortunately isn’t that the kinda the same for some of the international version too sadly?

[wooden hound]

time to wait another good ol' year for that cat hair

[spark lance]

Or the yeti cape...

[light wave]

Eventually they'd have to do something about this at some point. I mean the Ulti items and just inflation in the world of sky in general.

They may have to pull a whole season somewhere and give people something of substance to 'catch up'. I mean 10-15 years later, We can't possibly imagine the number of exclusive and non-exclusive items.

I believe on average, TS could come like 24-26 times in a year ( a rough estimate) and We already have nearly 70 normal seasonal sprits waiting in que to come. Thats insane if you ask me. + like 800 candle a 'Days of ___' event to top it off.

[kindred fossil]

Owl hair was a mistake

[blazing blade]

Imagine an overhaul of the TS system where multiple ts come at once in a kinda market setting to make up for the sheer number available.

[spark lance]

Exclusivity was a mistake.

[kindred prawn]

I’m probably not helping that bc I friend anyone I find w owl hair 😭 I’m srry but it makes your skykid look so cute

[light wave]

exactly what im saying

[thorn temple]

I.... im an owl hair lover

I dont wear it much in game, but art wise its such a beautiful hair to just doodle and draw. Im sorry but design alone, I love it

[main sun]

Does the beta only open for download if there is an open testing server? I currently cant download it

[kindred prawn]

You have owl hair?

[kindred fossil]

Beta is currently closed, you'll have to wait until the next invite wave to snag a spot, more in #beta-faq

[cobalt jacinth]

Beta is closed currently and opens randomly for invitation waves

[main sun]

So i cant download until it does ok

[light wave]

I agree. We already have copyrighted items that we know for a fact won't return. Even if they produce a structure to return 1 Ulti annually, it may take like 8 years, It might even take 20 years to come back. Honestly buying the pass would not lose it's value at that point. 😂

[wooden hound]

the ts system just isn't ideal in the long term. with just a few seasons? sure. but more and more seasons are being added and therefore more ts are being thrown in the pool. it'll eventually get to a point where you have to buy season pass or your can't get those items until like 7 years later 💀

[blazing blade]

I mean, we're already kinda there.

[light wave]

EXACTLY!!!! At this point, I don't even buy the pass for Ulti anymore, to me. Its just a added luxury nowadays. I just don't wanna keep doing 3 hours candle run for eternity 💀

[steady moth]

Fr
Some spirits are already taking 2 years to return

[spark lance]

Playing sky in 20 yrs just waiting for THAT item to come back. I would be... Dead probably.

[thorn temple]

2.0 but still. An owl hair

[kindred fossil]

It's more known as penguin hair

[light wave]

TGC is not dumb dumb. I can guarantee you. IF someday TGC decides to bring back Ulti, there will be a HUGE catch. Like you said. 20 years 😂

And if you ask me, with that kinda conditioning, I would say, heck no. I'm buying the pass lmao

[wooden hound]

after doing the math, it would take approx 2.3yrs to get every ts we have so far and every new season adds 56 more days

[steady flume]

if there's no repeats

[blazing blade]

Days of Ascension. Once a year a wonderous festival is held where you can spend 40 billion ac to buy a handpan

[maiden pond]

Also the chances of certain TS coming decrease more and more with each new season.

[kindred fossil]

You can have mine for a cornchip (for legal reasons this is a joke)

[steady moth]

Interesting idea I have my own idea on this

Once a year you can visit a QG in orbit and buy an alternate version of the ults (like owl/penguin hair)

[steady flume]

handpan is one of my favorite old ults but i rarely see it in the wild

[kindred fossil]

It was hard to match with other cosmetics for the longest time, but recently I've been finding matches for it 🥲 I love the sound but not so good color

[light wave]

I think that will financially burden TGC to overwork their concept artist to keep re-rendering every Ulti (just my assumption)

[opaque cipher]

I don't want to shell out 20$ for the reskin. I'd buy it if it was the original, but it's not

[steady flume]

i offer 3 (!!!) cornchips (not a joke)

[blazing blade]

The original handpan sounds so nice but alas, I am a TLP moth

[steady moth]

Oh yeah that’s true

[thorn temple]

I refuse this name, because uhm... uhm
Penguins arent fluffy so /j

[spark lance]

I'll buy it tgc don't even worry about it.

[blazing blade]

I will not stand for this penguin fluff slander

[steady moth]

They are so fluffy tho
o think it’s called penguin hair because of the penguin mask

[steady flume]

have you ever seen a baby penguin

[thorn temple]

You guys have got me there.....

[opaque cipher]

Ultimates will probably come back some day. It's a simple way to get revenue, I just hope that there is some prerequisite like having all of the TS items from the season before you can buy it. And it should be the original. If absolutely, necessary, I was thinking that the old ults could have their seasonal symbol discretely stamped on the cosmetic to show it was the original, but other than that it would be easier for TGC to keep them in the form they were in during their respective seasons

[spark lance]

Harpy eagle hair soon™

[lilac solstice]

Noot noot rhymes with hoot hoot as well, so I like the idea of it being a penguin lol

[light wave]

I'm also certain someday it will return, if it makes it any better, just don't give out the pendants? (I personally have no problem but for the vast majority of the folks)

[kindred prawn]

Ults are such an easy way to make bank. Imagine how much people would pay for Anubis mask and owl hair

I’d pay for owl hair myself

[kindred fossil]

My offers are still up

[opaque cipher]

Yeah no pendants, I like that it shows the person bought the pass

[raven gate]

I kinda just wanna jump in and say that making Ults exclusive items really drives in this FOMO idea that’s already there when you don’t get to experience the season during its run. Grinding out the season is hard, but it’s even harder to wait for spirits to come back so you can get those cosmetics with the candles that you have to grind daily while also maybe missing out on other items

I’m saying this a vet myself with burnout. It makes the game less fun when you either have to play when you can’t or just don’t get the item

[blazing blade]

Off topic, I was thinking about year of the snake again and what if the "mask" was actually a hair item so they could put physics on it. It would wiggle while moving and in the wind.

[kindred prawn]

What offers

[spark lance]

How much would be too much for an ult? $30 tops?

[lilac solstice]

Medusa hair

[kindred fossil]

I'd prefer reruns or expansions, since those seasons were barebones back then

[kindred prawn]

I WAS AB TO SAY THAT but cooldown lol

[blazing blade]

Worn similar to Journey or Vault Elder hair but Long

[left quest]

If it’s above $20 I’m not buying it cause I need gas money. 😭

[raven gate]

I just think the game would be better if it relaxed a little more and catered to people with either busy lifestyles or mental health issues who can’t play everyday

[light wave]

I feel like TGC would avoid making it that way. See the thing is, we don't obtain Ultimate gift the normal way. It's not a 1 click of a button (Again, I don't have any problem, but i can't speak for others) Some have said, Making Ulti an IAP cheapens out the effort they put to obtaining it, so If TGC ever returns it, They would most likely make you pay AND grind for it

[steady flume]

making the ults IAP items would also (maybe) help with removing their "function" as a status symbol

[lilac solstice]

10$ but you also need to make it so you bought all the seasonal items through ts too. I think making it same price as AP is fair.

[opaque cipher]

I think they should be available in a bundle and be worth $30 for each pack because it 1. Makes getting the ults more valuable with the pass during the season, 2. It would line up with the prices for the Switch and Journey packs, 3. It would make people that gatekeep feel like their cosmetics are still valuable and also allow people that really want a specific to ult to get it. Finally, it would be seriously good source of revenue for whales that want to get everything.

[wooden hound]

ok so let's say like 4 seasons happen in a year, that's an additional 448 days so our 2.3yrs is now more like 3.5yrs if we consider the seasons happening during the 2.3 years we're getting ts (more ts being added during that time, lengthening it). and ofc, now that the time has lengthened, more seasons are happening during the additional 1.2 years and more ts are being added so there's really no end all of my math has turned into a paradox 💀

[kindred prawn]

Naw fam 30USD is like 40ush CAD

[spark lance]

I mean... It doesn't take much effort to just buy candles...

[kindred prawn]

Swirch and journey packs is 25 tho

[light wave]

trust me, I genuinely don't have any problems but sometimes....the cesspools i've been in, surrounding THIS very topic....a healthy amount of people would disagree.😂 💀

[opaque cipher]

Not $25 for each, $25 for the ultimate pack of the season @kindred prawn I just realized that 💀

[kindred prawn]

I know. But you initially said 30

[steady flume]

i don't see why it can't be $10 like the pass. players who got the ults during the season got them for 10 dollars and about 70 days of daily quests. players who would buy them as IAP spend $10, about 500-1000 candles on the traveling spirits and wait like more than 2 years for those TS to visit

[left quest]

math is FAKE ‼️‼️‼️

[opaque cipher]

That is why I changed it off of $30 I misremembered

[chrome cypress]

I bet first 4 season (ios) 29.99$ other 24.99$

[spark lance]

Obviously reruns/expansions would be like the ideal scenario... But IF money is the only way to bring back ults... A price needs to be discussed.

[raven gate]

This is also a bit better because of the currency exchange rates between countries

[blazing blade]

Numbers do not exist if I choose not to Perceive Them 😑

[lilac solstice]

Exactly my point

[kindred prawn]

Do the first 4 seasons include rhythm

[wooden hound]

it's true how did you find out

[opaque cipher]

But Gatekeepers that are also Whales could really cause problems for TGC. I don't like that, but unfortunately that's the case with many micro-transaction f2p games

[steady flume]

then they should cry about it

[raven gate]

It’d be cool if they bundled every few seasons ult in a IAP in office or something

[light wave]

😂 😭

[spark lance]

If you anger whale ghosts, you could cut revenue.

[opaque cipher]

Plus, it would make people buying the season pass for current seasons think "I can just buy it later" and would take away a lot of value from the current season passes

[lilac solstice]

Well i mean, TGC did say they plan on bringing ults back at some point. 🧍‍♂️

[wooden hound]

it would be interesting if players were offered a handful of ts and were allowed to vote for which ts they want next, then people will be more likely to get what they want

[raven gate]

If the game is about love and friendship than I don’t think we should cater to gatekeepers :/

[kindred prawn]

People have suggested that the guides show up in office during the anniversary and you can go there to buy the ults for iap $

[blazing blade]

NGL, I'm definitely a whale. I have projector in Live rn. But others who whale out and think themselves better for it and don't want items to be accessible are Icky Yucky Bad

[steady flume]

they can "just buy it later" for the same amount of money and waaaay more work (getting all the TS). so buying it later would only really make sense for players who missed the season or couldn't complete the constellations in time

[kindred prawn]

Didn’t they say that more than a yr ago tho 💀 and so far we’ve no updates?

[opaque cipher]

If I had statistics on player revenue per person (to see if it is the 10% that make 90% of purchases) then I would know what to do. That's why I am so interested in working at TGC for User Analysis

[left quest]

I just know. I’m that smart.

[spark lance]

I'm a dolphin and i just want more items. Tgc get on it please.

Release the hairs!

[lilac solstice]

Way back in rhythm yes. But they haven't retracted that statement, so for now we can assume it's just not planned at the moment

[spice mason]

Over 2 years ago iirc 💀

[steady flume]

it's always smarter to release an ambiguous statement than to release a clear one that they might regret later 😔

[light wave]

in that sense it's a good sign!

[opaque cipher]

NDAs are important for legal protection though. Imagine if Sagomay said "xyz is happening" and then it didn't or something changed, and then 10,000 people quit sky or stop paying because of one false statement. Sagomay would get fired and TGC's reputation would melt away

[left quest]

I’d go into the TGC office and wait for them to add it like:

/j

[steady flume]

from what i've gathered they've said a lot that they had to take back after a while

[spark lance]

10 years from now, people buying the manta prop for $50.

[wooden hound]

all curled up in the corner like "oh no don't mind me pretend i'm not even here"

[blazing blade]

Sagomay Prosecuted For Crab Crime

[peak mason]

idk if taking back is the best word, there are some things that they couldn't do when they said those things that they have the technology to now (underwater, translucent capes, etc)

[opaque cipher]

Think about how much people talk about cat hair still! That was the equivalent of a developer saying it was IGC and then it turning into an IAP. This is the problem

[left quest]

*In a hotdog outfit

[stuck condor]

are we having the ult gift discussion again

can I start a riot over the fact I have the lightseekers ap and got every cosmetic I missed through traveling spirits but I’m still missing the ultbrella

[kindred prawn]

Camp outside their company door. Who’s bringing the marshmallows? /j

[spark lance]

(Disclaimer: the digital office.)

[steady flume]

oh i was referring to when they say something about bringing back ults for example and then retract their statement because they spoke to soon or something?? maybe i'm remembering wrong haha

[peak mason]

I think I vaguely remember what you're talking about, that was a one off thing tho iirc

[steady flume]

the snack kit will be $19.99 then

[light wave]

Honestly same. Here's something I've never told, during Aurora Items, I spend about total of $325, in which I spend about $127 for myself and my 2nd account and the rest all i spent on giving away gifts coz I know for a matter of fact, these items are never returning. I had this 1 girl from Chile, she's only a kid, she didn't come from the most financially stable family, I promised her to buy her the Tiara + the yellow $25 pixie cape. My hand is still shaking as i write this coz when we (our mutual friend group) was all in a VC, Her mom literally almost teary voiced told me, I just made her entire Christmas and she was happy beyond words.

So being a Veteran myself (albeit not as old as some other folks here but still) I'll never understand this concept of Gatekeeping. And even during the time of recharge speed. My friend who LOVES my bonfire was thrilled about the speed. I kept bringing up the topic for that very reason

[kindred fossil]

You could be thinking of the return system where players could cash in their Gratitude collection for candles, pendant and ult reward included, it was soon retracted

[stuck condor]

ok but being serious for a sec I get that the season ended like 2+ years ago but I met all the requirements for the ult gift back then (seasonal hearts didn’t exist it was just awarded after watching the ending cutscene). If there was literally any way for me to access the lightseekers constellation even without being able to access the individual spirits I could legit just get it rn 💀

[spark lance]

An honorable veteran ghost... What a day.

[steady flume]

yeah that was probably it 😭 that just shows how much cosmetics have increased in value

[blazing blade]

I've done similar, surprised my Sky bestie with the Aurora dress, glittery cape and the Fortune pack so far. I wanna get stuff so I can share it.

[fierce thunder]

Tbh if they had something like a returning limited item from a season every other month or so (or more) that would be so cute ngl
And I’ve been playing since global hit and I would love that for things I possibly missed from past seasons
~~COUHG dreams ~~

[wooden hound]

THAT'S SO SWEET AWEEE

[chrome cypress]

pls explain this, i think i never heard it, i no really get how it worked before

[kindred fossil]

If they won't bring back ults can I at least have a pity system for passes that never were completed 😔

[stuck condor]

context: she missed bonfire by literally one sc 💀

[kindred prawn]

I feel bad for the aurora ps4 folks who joined for the concert and bought the pass but unless they whaled… didn’t get the ults

[light wave]

Nooooooooooooooo

[valid briar]

Bonfire was gonefire

[fierce thunder]

THIS OMG
I missed almost 3 weeks worth of performance and missed owl hair and dancers cosmetic minus the mask

[wooden hound]

dude i'm so disappointed i didn't get the aurora pass like i would 100% trade in my shattering pass for aurora pass

[kindred prawn]

My alt missed the aurora butterfly wings by one sc and I didn’t want to blow $5 for get a candle pack

[kindred fossil]

Exchange system release post: #news message

Exchange system cancellation post: #news message

[lilac solstice]

Yeah this. I really wish they would have put a warning at least for the PlayStation players if they buy the pass. I understand they may have released before the concert so the new players could watch, but it's still unfortunate timing

[valid briar]

I have to yell at my sibling to 100% the pass, and he’s the one that buys the group pass and misses out on the ults

[kindred fossil]

Gone, reduced to... ashes

[stuck condor]

i forgot aeri stepped down 😔

[peak mason]

me with remembrance tbh I bought passes to give to friends

[spark lance]

Anyone else having issues using their candle? Whenever I try to use it my character instantly puts it away

[kindred fossil]

I've noticed that but I'm not sure if it's just my other finger brushing against the screen lol

[sudden pine]

yes i had that problem yesterday

[fierce thunder]

Samee
I’ve already almost reached my limit on skipping dalies, but hey my friends already almost have the neck accessory lol
Like they have been GRINDING for seasonal, which good job for them

[kindred prawn]

Was Aeri a community dev?

[wooden hound]

dude if i skip 2 more dailies i'm done

[stuck condor]

Pretty sure they were also the old owner of this server
idk who is now lol

[kindred fossil]

It's also the fact some issues went without compensation (that were 100% the game's fault) and many couldn't complete their passes due to that

[lilac solstice]

Stellify i think cus the crown next to their name

[kindred prawn]

The only daily I’ve missed so far is that spirit one w sparkler parent. Him and Pleaful are the worst imo

[opaque cipher]

I am so glad they decided not to do this

[spark lance]

I missed sitting on a bench with a stranger the other day, by 1 minute.

[desert token]

was it you I saw at the tree in Sanctuary? I realised I recognised your skykid from bug reports. I was having difficulty keeping the candle out when we were with the plant then as well

[kindred prawn]

One time I did my dailies 5min before reset… but forgot to claim the candles 💀

[steady flume]

by exchanging gratitude mask for candles you'd be able to buy like... the sticker from prophet of air

[kindred fossil]

No one was going to use this (as far as I'm aware,) it was 100% optional and you had to fill out a form

[stuck condor]

trading in a deer mask for like 30 candles is the sky equivalent of that one guy who spent 5000 of the funni internet currency to buy a pizza back when they were dirt cheap

(for some reason the actual name of the currency is filtered lol)

[fierce thunder]

SAME OMG
Or I’ll do them right before I sneep but then I completely forget then remember in the morning, it’s the worst feeling

[kindred fossil]

Aye, those were the olden times, back then 50 candles got us by for weeks, that was a lot by then's standards

[spark lance]

Blundercoin

[stuck condor]

I felt so rich after rhythm sc conversion with my insane 100 candles

[gilded basin]

you can get maybe ONE hat. if you're lucky

[thorn temple]

Inflation in the sky economy, tsk tsk. It feels like in the past year its really skyrocketed though. (Granted ive only been playing for around a year, getting to 2 actually...)

[spark lance]

Lol 200 candles get waxed in 3 seconds now.

[steady flume]

back when capes (the most desirable igc cosmetics at that time) had reasonable prices 😔

[opaque cipher]

It's because of real world inflation.

[gilded basin]

no that's about right feels like it started around stlp to me but that might be because that's when i started participating in beta

[stuck condor]

im still in shock they seriously sold a snowman for 120 candles

[kindred fossil]

Poking it with a stick

[thorn temple]

Is it?

The only reason id assume they would bring it up due to real work reasons is because they want more money through candle packs? So they make things too expensive so you HAVE to buy candle packs for everything

[steady flume]

snowman was proof that the "beta is subject to change" goes both ways when it comes to prices

[spark lance]

Never buying regular candles tho.
Unless the owl hair cost like 500 candles idk.

[gilded basin]

if igcs get any more expensive they're gonna cost more than you can earn during their event's runtime

[thorn temple]

I feel like its already getting to that point...

[kindred prawn]

Why did I read runtime as furniture? 🤔

[thorn temple]

I read your furtniture as "funtime"

[gilded basin]

yeah, i was thinking about the rainbow cape and it would take you 8 days of full crs to get if you start with no candles i forgot if rainbow runs for one or two weeks though

[steady flume]

doesn't really matter because almost no one does full candle runs

[spark lance]

14-17 candles ftw.

[gilded basin]

sweet! man-made horrors beyond my comprehension!

[desert token]

tbh the most feelsbadman about aurora moths is that the cure for me pants were not announced in patch notes or anything (unlike sword pants)

[gilded basin]

seriously rip little prince and aurora moths

[thorn temple]

Full candle runs everyday are just burnout central

[desert token]

if I didn't have someone I do dailies with daily (ehe) I would barely be able to bring myself to stare at the shrub lol

[kindred fossil]

They were announced in the 19.5 notes, but it was probably too late by then

[sudden pine]

did you know you lean on the butterfly feeder to stare adoringly at the butterflies when you are next to it when they're on it ?

[steady flume]

candle economy is in shambles
whats also funny || || is how the wax requirement was changed while the orbit ascension wax bug is still ongoing
great timing

[desert token]

ooo you're right, but yeah kinda late considering feast was around the corner too

[thorn temple]

The four horseman of beta discussion

Economy
Traveling spirits
Ultimates
And bugs ig

[spark lance]

Thankfully hearts prices had not seen a lot of inflation...

[gilded basin]

secret 5th horseman: updoot droughts

[stuck condor]

if you can seriously do this you either are going to crash and burn HARD (like I did) or you just have wayyyy too much time to spend

[steady flume]

i'd love to bring this to live channels but discussions about candle economy are usually tied to beta topics (like the bloom cape)

[thorn temple]

Dont give them ideas

[desert token]

tbh tier 2 capes were the heart inflation so to speak, now we're getting the ac version

[spark lance]

I would be down with ults for hearts.

[kindred fossil]

Well they technically already inflated friendship tree prices, for "variety"

[left quest]

The secret fifth horsemen: “DOOT?”

[iron elbow]

in case anyone was wondering

the rate at which butterflies fly down to the butterfly bath doesn't change no matter how many butterflies there are around you 😔
just tested it after the praire medi

[opaque cipher]

It's shrinkflation. Either TGC could increase the prices of regular packs, or increase the prices of regular cosmetics, therefore making the packs less valuable and requiring people to buy more

[steady flume]

except for when they changed the like requirement to get a heart from regular shrines from 10 to 50

[stuck condor]

my heart isn’t ready for the absolutely astronomical price of vault elder mask

[spark lance]

Ac what?

[kindred fossil]

Elder masks

[thorn temple]

With how many nodes there might be in the future. Why not instead sway it cheaper? It seems better if the friendship trees actually felt like friendship, and not "spend all your life savings on this tree"

[peak mason]

fr some of the higher nodes are so expensive

[desert token]

warp being 10 ac sends an arrow into my heart every time

[spark lance]

I thought tier 3 capes for ac were discussed at some point. Sorry for the panic.

[boreal shell]

Tgc does know that but they haven't do anything about it, just made it worse

[kindred prawn]

What’s the most expensive node

[opaque cipher]

I'm actively collecting and reporting to TGC about all of those things, and I know I am a major reason they have come up so much. I try to push these topics so that TGC can find solutions to things that could potentially destroy the game.

[thorn temple]

I love my friends, but I will not spend almost 40 candles on just both the dance emotes?!?!

[kindred fossil]

I can't imagine what t3 would look like, another line? Meh

[desert token]

like 22? for dance lvl 2

[iron elbow]

wasn't your last bug report in october

[kindred prawn]

Like… to the devs directly or thru feedback?i

[thorn temple]

Perhaps something similiar to the light await capes? Like in pattern only

[spark lance]

As a black tier 2 haver, i would very much appreciate another line.

[steady flume]

and then it keeps going until you have a striped cape

[left quest]

Tier 20 cape:

[kindred fossil]

That was the main argument for the earlier versions of t2 capes, but the patterns on the LA capes weren't simply patterns, they were dynamic, they changed as your friendship grows with other players. I heard it had plenty of issues, not just only overheating devices

[desert token]

invis > any tier

[vital nexus]

listen, i just like doing mindless activities with my hands for 2 hours

[thorn temple]

Thats why I say just something like the patterns. Keep the dynamic changing of them out, and just take inspiration from the almost feathery diamond like design of em!

[spark lance]

I did full 20 CRs everyday for like 2 weeks straight during rainbow last year and I still haven't recovered

[wooden hound]

weekly eden also burned me out, not eden itself, just the wlrs. i finished forest constellation and i have to go to eden for that hair but i'm dreading wlr

[steady flume]

correct me if my math is wrong but if you continue the system that the next tier is 3 times the price of the previous tier, then the white/black cape would be...
58113073350 hearts??? what

[sudden pine]

i have 12 wedges in live now and i'm not doing eden again until i'm sure i have enough TS wing lights to not have to deal with shattering memory ones edit: possibly also trial ones too 🙂

[spark lance]

Stop with the math or else.

[stuck condor]

this will be cosmetic prices in 2024

[wooden hound]

you can never escape

[left quest]

I can’t correct you on math I’m going to art school 😭
I can’t do math

[spark lance]

Trigonometry can't hurt me anymore... I'm an ADULT.

[kindred fossil]

Yeah that tracks

[spark lance]

Logarithmic functions on the other hand... They will always hurt.

[opaque cipher]

Feedback 🫠

[kindred fossil]

Yes, what we also used to suggest, I can see that working now, that wouldn't have worked at the time of introduction of t2 unfortunately 😔💔

[opaque cipher]

There will never be Tier 3 because there isn't any demand for it

[wooden hound]

somebody tell me what x is. no, i'm not giving you an equation. 🙄 /j

[light wave]

my prof enters the chat "How dare you?, do you even UNDERSTAND how your little rectangular box works?? Let me start with the semiconductors-"

[thorn temple]

Sad face, one day maybe...

[opaque cipher]

Logarithms are simple but usually made more complicated than necessary

[dark bear]

NOH

[steady flume]

for now ........

[kindred fossil]

If players demand more base-game cosmetics, it is still a possibility

[wooden hound]

start adding t2 base game hairs and pants

[opaque cipher]

There isn't any demand at this time

[kindred fossil]

How do you know

[spark lance]

I demand it. There. Get on it.

[steady flume]

tier 2 bowing medalist hair 👁️

[opaque cipher]

I comb wishlist and ideas daily, I have read every message ever sent in that channel. Not one time have I come across tier 3 cosmetics

[wooden hound]

because they're in the server and they don't see a large mob with pitchforks in hand demanding more base game items

...yet

[spark lance]

The only t2 hair I'd buy (please) (I love medalist hair) (imagine if it was even fluffier than the base one )

[thorn temple]

I am rn, i want more base game cosmetics

[dark bear]

yk what? just give us a tier 2 skykid altogether which looks like a winglight at this point. Aka Shiny boi 💀

[opaque cipher]

However, there are about 4000 violin requests. Since 2023 started. 💀💀💀

[iron elbow]

a very dedicated person sending the big demands for t3 daily in the feedback: ✍️

[agile hazel]

I just literally used the search bar and there's multiple requests for tier 3 capes

[kindred fossil]

It still falls under demand for base-game cosmetics, I don't understand your logic here, Skycord is not the only place they receive feedback and requests from

[spark lance]

Done

[wooden hound]

that is a whole new type of dedication i respect your commitment

[dark bear]

i love how this chat trolls the heck out of TJ . Ya’ll 💀😭

HE WENT SILENT. LMAO BRO COME BACCC

[kindred fossil]

T2 pants where the triangle patterns are more prominent, yes there are patterns on base-game pants

[wooden hound]

no way

[steady flume]

i always wanted the pants/dress thing that some of the adult base game spirits wear

[spark lance]

The real tier 2 hairs would be long hairs that don't clip.

[iron elbow]

its probably corn chips

[valid briar]

Which spirit has the bald? I want tier 2 bald.

[spark lance]

How would. How would t2 bald work😭

[desert token]

u can buy it above inviscape, trust me

[stuck condor]

it’s just the same exact model but 2x larger

[steady flume]

shiny head that twinkles 🎵

[dark bear]

extra gloss

[spark lance]

And the light engine literally blinds you.

[wooden hound]

a little itty bitty strand of hair at the very top that bounces around when you walk

[valid briar]

So I get to be extra shiny AND blind my firends?? Sign me up

[stuck condor]

t3 has the same thing but with a single curl

[kindred fossil]

Mmmm cornchips

[steady flume]

i love how the icon for the hiking grouch hair has like a shiny spot where the bald part is

[wooden hound]

every tier just adds a new strand until you have a full head of hair

[dark bear]

im cackling at this point

[spark lance]

You people killed tj and my sides.

[dark bear]

TJ COME BACC

[wooden hound]

dude i asked for tier 3 capes too in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived not a single inappropriate word in the message and it got blocked 💀 now i can't message for an hour in there they'll have to wait a whole hour to hear my wonderful ideas

i asked "pretty please tier 3 capes " and tgc wants to SILENCE me 😡 /j

[dark bear]

DIS A BIRFDAY? 1984!!
Not a birthday, i mean a birth-year 💀

[left quest]

I thought you said “extra shiny and bald” 😭

[steady flume]

that's a bonus

[kindred fossil]

I mean it's definitely going to be extra bald, down to the bone

[left quest]

I like ya cut, G! (smacks skull)

[spark lance]

Transparent head, like aurora stuff.

[kindred fossil]

[Skull rattle sfx]

Anyways, I can't wait for Bloom in live, I actually like the cape more than last year's

[left quest]

I want the pants idc about anything else

[agile hazel]

The salmon salami ham cape?

[dark bear]

same, i just need a slice of cheese

[spark lance]

A transparent dress would be cool tho. I suppose the skykids could wear the generic moth clothes underneath.

[steady flume]

what kind of salami are you guys eating omg i was never able to see it 😭

[valid briar]

That too 👀

[kindred fossil]

Consider the t2 yellow cape, with a side of manta egg cape and bread lantern

[spark lance]

Its more like those japanese sausages cut to resemble wings

[valid briar]

You mean the spicy pringles cape?

[iron elbow]

homegrown

[stuck condor]

that’ll just look like a big rain poncho lol

[spark lance]

That! Exactly! I'm awful at English so i couldn't express that D:

Raincoat!!!

[dark bear]

[wooden hound]

yellow raincoat like georgie from IT or six from little nightmares

[spark lance]

Yes! Except for the traumatizing stuff.

[tawdry pine]

eden is the trauma

[wooden hound]

every kid in games and movies who wears a yellow raincoat will experience trauma and we're no exception

[stuck condor]

little nightmares season is totally never happening but it would work so well

[wooden hound]

it would probably "ruin the peaceful atmosphere" of the game but that was already done during shattering

[opaque cipher]

I only found 7 requests and none of them were in beta-testing discussion. Sorry I was on a walk with my family and I just think it's fun talking to you

I'm back lol you people are hilarious

[spark lance]

I thought you claimed there were no requests in the wishlist channel, not in this channel? Either way, I can find at least a couple requests/people wanting tier 3 capes in both here and #wishlist-and-ideas-archived .

[opaque cipher]

Well obviously Hisae added theirs so now my previous statements are no longer true

[opaque cipher]

I found 3 requests but when reading the whole message it was that they were suggesting it to be a way to bring back the light awaits capes, so I didn't count it. I guess you could count it!

[spark lance]

Was never true in the first place, here's one in each channel

#beta-discussion message (beta discussion)

#wishlist-and-ideas-archived message (wishlist and ideas)

We didn't kill TJ!!!
Also they could totally add a raincoat, transparent or otherwise as a cape and a hood head accessory.

[opaque cipher]

I stand corrected.

But anyway, Ash implied violin is happening at some point, so

[dark bear]

what!? when where!?

[opaque cipher]

Here (implication is not a confirmation)

[kindred fossil]

Wishlist channel is not representative of the entire community, as I already said this is not their only source of feedback and requests

[opaque cipher]

I simply don't have access to all of the feedback (yet) so I only work with what I can see. If there were hundreds of requests for T3 capes, I would see that as more likely to occur than something only asked for once. While #wishlist-and-ideas-archived is not representative of the whole community, it will have a least somewhat what people want.

[kindred fossil]

Which leads to bias

[spark lance]

Reddit is full of feedback. Although in a perhaps, more chaotic form.

[iron elbow]

tj, honest question
why are you trying to micromanage something that's already being handled by tgc

[opaque cipher]
