[upper bronze]

its not the nets that are the thing, its that it seems to be only the angler taking the blame for all this trash around them

[shy ore]

Assembly Guide and Mellow's band: 🎶 We are number one! Hey! 🎶

[ashen tusk]

maybe angler rowed up and the vortex was already there and they were trying to clear it up with their nets and inadvertently made it worse cause the current kept getting hold of them 😭

[iron elbow]

look
listen
lemme ask you a question
have you seen a baby krill swimming in sanctuary?
exactly.
angler says you are welcome.

[sand garnet]

Poor Angler. ^_^;

[sudden pine]

who's letting all these pillows fall from the sky ?

[spark lance]

I'll send that over in a second then would you like me to ping when I send it as well?

[shy ore]

We actually need baby krill asap!

[ashen tusk]

assembly

[upper bronze]

can someone please tell chuckle and march to take their pillow fight indoors

[ashen tusk]

don't worry guys I gave them plenty candles today so they can afford to enroll in a friend to the environment programme

[spark lance]

Assembly got too excited for being picked to get an event + being the first TS group visit and forgot to clean up their pillows

[upper bronze]

they are kid scouts, someone oughta teach them about the environment

[frosty trout]

yes pls

[wanton yacht]

the real secret of the great vortex is it was a shared space all along

[shy ore]

Forest Elder will also come to clean the Assembly Props after their 2 weeks TS days cuz you know that's her garden actually. ||Vsauce: Or is it?||

[upper bronze]

actually. ythink some of the tlp spirits couldve littered? i mean a lot of them are careless greedy adults

[left quest]

All I’m imagining in my brain is “We are Number One” but with the Assembly kids and Mellow’s band. 😭

[shy ore]

@left quest I've been mentioned that LMAO!!

[spark lance]

NOOOO 😭

didnr someone make an edit with that last year??? I swear I thought someone did

Mellow wasn't in it but I swear there was an edit

[left quest]

IVE BEEN LAUGHING AT IT 😭

[vagrant fable]

Either Slouching Soldier by accident or Star Collector on purpose

[keen sage]

i actually like the idea that Angler was trying to help but didn't realize that nets were making the problem worse,, though it probably IS just that they were fishing in the area, dropped a few nets, and were just pulling them along like there wasn't already a whirlpool of trash in the area.

not right to blame them for it existing in the first place, but the nets definitely seem to be theirs

[upper bronze]

:narci: ughh…. this mirror doesn’t highlight my curves… into the vortex it goes!

[left quest]

I wasn’t here a majority of last year I couldn’t tell you 😭

[agile hazel]

I have the same thing too. When I'm flying to the vortex, the cutscene starts so my skykid overshoots it, but after the cutscene I'm placed before the vortex

[shy ore]

Hold on, hold on. I think that new Memorial place would be the greatest place to watch Red shards floating during Shard events

[iron elbow]

star collector found out about star fish

[upper bronze]

“you seein this sh little prince?”

[spark lance]

@frosty trout to answer from screenshots! The cutscene was happening as I was landing, but other than that you've got it correct!

[digital glade]

oh, i have some video footage of that actually

[frosty trout]

(Oh, slowmode, right. Sorry!) Thanks!

[spark lance]

No worries! happy to help

[vagrant fable]

Narcissist would definitely throw random stuff in the ocean

[upper bronze]

they use a bottle of mascara a grand total of Once and into the sea it goes

[shy ore]

Saki's BETA agent neurons activated
Gonna teach that guy a Nature lesson

[spark lance]

I FOUND IT HERE #beta-screenshots-videos message

[upper bronze]

IM DYING AT THIS VID

[vagrant fable]

And yep, it's Saki's

[left quest]

THE REESE’S PUFFS HELP MENEHFHFHWJDH

[spark lance]

I vividly remember that video purely because I kept losing my mind at it sent it to a couple people too

[shy ore]

So you guys time travelled.

[upper bronze]

dude have you seen the season of passage? we’re practically expert time travelers now

[night imp]

Maybe we should free the chonky boy from a trap in the water near the nature guide. It would be fun if we could ride the chonk to the vortex?!

[vagrant fable]

I second the notion of chonk riding

[shy ore]

You're talking about the creature from Sky Anime teaser rn. /jk

[left quest]

I can’t breathe I think I’m sleep deprived 😭
(It’s from laughing I promise)

[wanton yacht]

internally giggling at the lag funnies with that. several skids in a line standing on nothing being carried to a vortex (since it would be interaction triggered most likely)

[iron elbow]

but the chonk is like.... carousel sized

[shy ore]

To AURORA's meditation room

[vagrant fable]

Problem: chonk too small
Solution: enbiggen the chonk

[upper bronze]

piggyback on it!

[random galleon]

We have elder mantas, elder birds… elder chonk ?

[wanton yacht]

8 player piggyback on chonk challenge

[shy ore]

Ok, I'm done chatting here. Imma eat breakfast and do my homeworks. Have a nice chaos.

[iron elbow]

can I let the chonk piggyback me instead 😭

[ashen tusk]

if the chonks are made bigger then they'll be harder for me to steal

[spark lance]

Chonk grabs our hand in its mouth and pulls us along with it to the vortex

[left quest]

Jaws gets the chonk backpack

[ashen tusk]

have you ever seen a video of a dog pulling its owner along gently by the mouth because yes exactly that

[vagrant fable]

Can't write steal without seal 🦭

[iron elbow]

like one of those cat backpacks with a little window

[spark lance]

Don't need to see a video of that when my aunt's dogs treat my hand like a chew toy and do that to me on the regular (but yes I have seen videos like that )

[left quest]

THATS SO CUTE

[vagrant fable]

🐶 "yum, shrimp!"

[ashen tusk]

if they dropped a charity chonk plush at the last minute I would so buy it btw subliminal messages @ sagomay

[left quest]

(sends my brainwaves to Sagomay for chonk plushie)

[vagrant fable]

adds chonk to the list of things we want merch of

[spark lance]

You see I wouldn't be surprised if that was Lucifer's thought process considering she has repeatedly tried to steal my shrimp whenever I eat while on the floor (Lucy is one of the two dogs )

[alpine field]

Stop u guys make me wish to have pets in sky again

[wanton yacht]

chonk plush with backpack straps (like a lil jacket for chonk and back accessorry for us like skids carry ingame plushies)

[upper bronze]

we shld have those purses withh plush animals in them, like cld u imagine carrying a crab or a krill in a bag?

[ashen tusk]

Sagomay trying to get work done with our quest feedback whilst trying to fight off our one brain cell focus on chonk plushy

[iron elbow]

I don't know which chonk I would like to see more: big giant plush or small tiny bite sized chonks, but either one will warm my heart 🤲

[late sonnet]

krill plush

[languid sandal]

I cuddle my krill plush at night, I wish I could cuddle it in sky too so... season of plush when?

[kindred prawn]

In a bag lmao

[wanton yacht]

season of comfort where everything is pajamas and plushes and big blanket forts

[vagrant fable]

"Dear Sagomay

Beta chat would like to formally request for a Chonk™ plush

Signed, all of beta chat"

[upper bronze]

hey what were we supposed to be talking about again

[languid sandal]

Plushies

[iron elbow]

planet is dying

[vagrant fable]

The event to which Chonk belongs

[peak mason]

moons haunted

[wanton yacht]

Moon big

[vagrant fable]

Moon round

[ashen tusk]

but anyways give us chonky plushy

[left quest]

I also cuddle my krill plushie :D
The fact the light changes color based on your body heat makes me so happy.

[upper bronze]

when the moon hits your eye

[random galleon]

Chonk plush to help raise money to save planet from dying it all circles back around 🔄

[wanton yacht]

Y es

[ashen tusk]

like a big chonk in sky, that's a'more

[upper bronze]

when you go to abyss and you see a long fish that’s a moray

[languid sandal]

I have a good memory with that moray, blasting Route 216 from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl in my ears and swimming around alongside it, are you still able to attach to it? I can't remember

I haven't glued to it ever since its route changed during testing hahaha, I need to try again and relive that memory

[vagrant fable]

Not attach, sadly, it just swims and leaves wax now

[ashen tusk]

surprised angler hasn't tried to catch that yet

[iron elbow]

why do you think it's a spirit

[proper sail]

No update

[vagrant fable]

I imagine it was actually Cannoneer who got it because Angler was too scared to catch it

The week just started

[languid sandal]

Have patience the cosmetics are said to come this week! :)

[late sonnet]

no cannoneer tried but also got too chicken
then abyss guide comes in and grabs it with their bare hands

[upper bronze]

beta testers waking up in a cold sweat 12 am monday like WHERE UPDATE

[iron elbow]

classic spider in the house situation here

[ashen tusk]

another reason why angler feels outta place in this event tbh, I feel like they'd be too anxious fishing in such a vast body of water on their own, they don't know what's down there and imagine their surprise at the giant turtle

[upper bronze]

i feel like out of everyone who’d fumble the fishing gear it’d be boatswain?

[vagrant fable]

What if they napped in the boat and it floated away

[ashen tusk]

they do be bumbling

[upper bronze]

who up bumbling they boatswain

[vagrant fable]

I think boatswain actually is competent at what they do but are just incredibly clumsy

[ashen tusk]

what's that fergie song you got me tripping stumbling flipping fumbling but it's just botswain bumbling around with the nets 😭

[wanton yacht]

Angler is panicking over boatswain dropping all the nets by accident and keeps thinking all nets are theirs new headcanon

[left quest]

Bumbling is such a bouncy word which is why I love Bumbling Boatswain
It’s a silly.

[ashen tusk]

next nature we'll get botswain for when they finally give us bees

[languid sandal]

omg bees in the light creature style would probably look so cuteeee

[spark lance]

Lots of people are out there wondering where the update is when I low-key forgot about the plans to release cosmetics this week because i spent the weekend farming big run

i miss horrorboros

[late sonnet]

sago said no doot today so just gotta keep on WAFOing

[ashen tusk]

why am I even still awake, I could wafo in my sleep

[languid sandal]

(Unrelated but currently holding krill plush, ily krill plush)

[iron elbow]

chonks arent gonna pet themselves people, back to work 🫵

[vagrant fable]

opens cryogenic sleep pod
Alright everyone, get in there

[spark lance]

Y'all can have the wafos, imma be over here crying about my spaghetti fish being out of rota

[late sonnet]

sleep to skip the night 🏃

[languid sandal]

I just got an idea, i'm going to introduce my krill plush to chonk!!

[ashen tusk]

alrighty goodnight beta buds, someone wake me if the chonks rise up and become plushies from all our wishing

[left quest]

BOATSWAIN IN A BUMBLE BEE OUTFIT

[iron elbow]

fursona confirmed

[vagrant fable]

Is it a fursona if it's a bug tho?

[iron elbow]

its fluffy

[sand dawn]

I imagine light bees are just smol elongated white spheres with a lil yellow diamond shaped “eye” .. and maybe simple tiny buzzing bug wings

[vagrant fable]

I'd invert the colors and have them be yellow orbs with white beady eyes

[sand dawn]

I was considering that.. kinda have to see both to decide..!

[sudden pine]

remember, you're supposed to stay 50 yards/meters away from marine mammals!

[peak mason]

bird themed days of nature with flight would be really nice

[vagrant fable]

Like Herbalist's prop orb but small and with eyes

[iron elbow]

cant even get dinner out here smh

[vagrant fable]

With 50 meters you'd be 5 meters closer than with 50 yards
Wait no that's not how measurements work

[frosty trout]

Thanks everyone for your replies! Passed the information along with the team

[languid sandal]

I just showed the chonky friends and dark dragons to my krill plush :)

[late sonnet]

oh hey double treasure candles were enabled for beta too, that's neat

[sand dawn]

Imagine we also got double the amount of seasonal candles we have in beta already..

[left quest]

45 seasonal candles a day 😭

[shy ore]

It's 25 seasonal candles per days if u get a pass for testing lol.

[left quest]

I know.

[spark lance]

Hello, can I ask what is this season ulti rewards are?

[kindred fossil]

We don't know, cosmetics are not available this build

[tropic bough]

The seasonal ult reward is me

[woeful obsidian]

No plishie.. I want a pet.

[safe valve]

I’m so excited for the gardening outfit in the days of bloom 🤭

[delicate shuttle]

so exited to see new seasonal cosmetics✨🌿

[lime nebula]

Same, I need the pants for a oc outfit

[steady rain]

What is the next ts in sky beta?

[hollow compass]

I don't remember, whichever was after yeti

[agile hazel]

Oh there's double cakes in beta

[steep shell]

should be sassy drifter

[spark lance]

Is sassy, yes #beta-discussion message

[agile hazel]

Does the vortex debris spawn all at once or in sets of 4 for yall?

[spark lance]

Seemed to spawn in sets for me

[agile hazel]

Yeah it spawned in sets the other times I did it but it just spawned in all at once just now

[hollow compass]

it's been different every time for me

[shy ore]

Oh my goodness, just my spirits thoughts. Assembly Guide got their favor from their parent that they'll plant the sapling at Home before Days of Bloom

[empty vessel]

I had a great time today.

[austere bear]

Is it just me or one of the seasonal candle isnt working? Like i was collecting seasonal lights from seasonal candles in realms n i'm sure i didnt miss any n i'm still ''missing one'' somehow.

[kindred fossil]

It could be a server error with forging again

[fluid cobalt]

No new beta doot?
🤨

waits patiently

[fast skiff]

It’s just seven in the morning for TGC 😭

[kindred fossil]

@trim kettle
It's a new addition to the area that came in build 21.0, it's down a pathway off the shore

[delicate shuttle]

i hope today but no one knows

[trim kettle]

thanks a lot! D:

[kindred fossil]

Turn that frown upside down

[spark lance]

:ᗡ

[kindred fossil]

Now your face's all contorted and twisted, don't tease me like that

[desert root]

GOOD MORNING BETA CHAT I HOPE YOURE ALL DOING WELL

[hybrid obsidian]

So uh… beta servers f for everyone? Or just me

Can’t collect gifts, send, hearts, there’s just flames around me, server errors every 15 seconds.

[lofty rose]

the vortex quest is cool i just really wish it didnt zoom into the water the way it does i have to keep looking away when it does

[delicate grail]

Hello

[mighty sluice]

Ello

[languid sandal]

Hullo

[steady widget]

No beta update

[quiet obsidian]

uhh is there server issues

[spark lance]

Some people seem to be having server issues, though it was fine for me when I checked earlier this morning

[steady widget]

Beta is a Lil wonky.

[frosty trout]

EDIT: Thanks!
Are folks still having server issues on beta? 👀

[languid sandal]

It will happen some time this week, so we don't have to wait very long! It builds a lot of excitement and suspense for me. :)

I'll head on beta right now and see if I experience any connection problems with the servers!

[frosty trout]

EDIT: Passed along to the team. Thanks everyone who replied!
For those who are having issues, can I ask what continent/region of your continent you're in?

[quiet obsidian]

i’m in europe

[languid sandal]

Servers are doing perfectly fine for me! (I live in the UK if that matters at all).

[quiet obsidian]

oh that’s odd because i’m also in the uk

[sudden pine]

maye its better now? i got it to forge a (not complete) candle. East Coast US

[quiet obsidian]

i’m still getting errors, unable to log in

[kindred fossil]

No server issues in Asia

[languid sandal]

Maybe it's a device issue? I use android! You?

[kindred fossil]

It can't be a device issue, I use iOS

[quiet obsidian]

i’m on ios too

lemme try on my ipad hold on

[languid sandal]

I was about to try on my switch (that I never use) and then it clicked jshhfjdhd

[quiet obsidian]

yea nope ipad won’t let me in either

[minor falcon]

no server issues here in EU

[frosty trout]

Thank you!

[kindred fossil]

Chook is cursed I guess...

[languid sandal]

(Except for poor chook)

[quiet obsidian]

i rolled too much and the servers are punishing me for it
voi you do not know how hard i just wheezed

[minor falcon]

brexit /j

[languid sandal]

(I guess being half filipino casts immunity onto me)

[minor falcon]

then we wheezed together 🤝

[cunning marlin]

Several times today I can’t send out conversations, and I can’t add friends. Is it my network problem?

[kindred fossil]

What region you in

[spark lance]

Just checked again right now and no server issues for me, western us

[languid sandal]

No it's not your network problem, it's several people's problem you greedy little skykid! Hoarding all the problems for yourself! /j

[quiet obsidian]

(im only half brit tho so why don’t i get immunity )

[languid sandal]

(Little do they know I feast on problems, like the bad luck glutton that I am)

[languid sandal]

skybot ate it

[kindred fossil]

Have you tried looking for it at the British museum

[languid sandal]

That's not funny :(
(okay it's a little bit funny)

Dark woke up and chose violence

[sudden pine]

in other news, East Coast US, not logging in anymore. you can do it status bar! I believe in you!

[languid sandal]

I just met someone from China who was unable to relive the pointing spirit

[kindred fossil]

The spirit is bugged this build

[random galleon]

Eastern US as well, my status bar could do it but it was very slow, oh yeah and there’s definitely some lag too

[potent cargo]

大家晚上好

我已经迫不及待的看到新季节物品了

[gilded parrot]

We ask everyone to please post only in English on this server, @potent cargo. Unfortunately, moderators and staff aren't able to support all the languages spoken by our global Sky family.

Can't wait either! Looks promising

[delicate shuttle]

yes, waiting for doot.......

maybe the problems with the servers are somehow related to the upcoming doot sniff sniff

[drowsy fiber]

Am having issues as well, am in Europe (Germany). Sky works but is extremely slow with starting or looking at the quests or so. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to ping. Noticed too late.

[left quest]

Did your snoot find a doot?

[desert root]

the beta testers are evolving…. They’re sniffing out doots and wafos!! What an exciting find

[kindred fossil]

I'm a human being

[drowsy fiber]

There must be an update coming, there's someone with a newer version in my constellation...

[delicate shuttle]

soon but don't know when... 🤔

[sharp yew]

hackers ✨

[narrow current]

||I dont think thats how hacks work|| then again i dont use them so shrug

[sand garnet]

Did you add a dev? Lol. XD

[spark lance]

In less than a minute

[drowsy fiber]

Maybe that, for sure someone who's gotten the update early.

[delicate shuttle]

how did you notice it?

[paper tulip]

Probably went to light their friend in the constellation and noticed the new cosmetic

[delicate shuttle]

👁️ 👁️.... interesting.......
i need to see it oh oh oh

[sweet geode]

It doesnt seem like the devs would update early like that... Unless they just released an update...

[sand garnet]

There are friendship missions today. More likely they tried to warp to them and the game said they're on a newer build. ^_^;

[undone rapids]

[drowsy fiber]

Exactly this.

[fast skiff]

What build are you on, Jenna? Latest build is 231361

[green monolith]

which days of nature items are safe to get and which arent?

[spark lance]

All should be safe I believe, I haven't had any issues with any of them

[languid sandal]

I can't wait for a doot to arrive and it's just a fix for connection issues or something hahaha

[drowsy fiber]

213361. Could join other friends though.
        Did they give an update I didn't get or do you have the 1 and 3 switched in there?

[fast skiff]

Oops, yeah, 213*
I ask because if an update is available, more players, not just a single one, would display as in a newer version (and screaming in the beta channels) And no one has yet received a notice of an update, so far
Also thought you miight be in an older version - thanks for confirming!

[green monolith]

just confirming, the iaps are safe to get as well?

[undone rapids]

people are traumatized because of bloom pants

[fast skiff]

First time?

[ashen tusk]

servers are fine on my end but chonky friend is gone again

Nooo chonky fren (why did my phone try to autocorrect that to French )

[late sonnet]

DOOOOOTTTT now to wait impatiently in android

[shy ore]

My man. Time to eat WAFOs for bekfast

Would I can see cosmetics someday?

[ripe mango]

Wooo we get to see the cosmetics finally and the fourth emote hopefully,

[stuck condor]

[light panther]

[spark lance]

Doot notes!!! Hi sagooooo :D

[ripe mango]

I didnt know I would start crying because of the grave in starlight tonight but here we are /lh

[gilded basin]

DOOT

[light panther]

the additional note

[late sonnet]

the wedge for the nature cape changed (according to notes)!!

[peak mason]

this is decidedly not what I was expecting for the sunglasses feature but I'm interested

[gilded basin]

very interested in "🔹Transparent and translucent capes now appear properly transparent or translucent when worn by all Spirits, when shown in Shared Memory recordings, etc." i wanna check if that also includes the invisibrella but i can't bind it to my beta account

[spark lance]

The note :( My condolences to you all at tgc and to the relatives of the late coworker

[narrow current]

Me reading why the little prince memorial area implementation: 🥲

[ripe mango]

I would have been fine thinking it was in honour of the prince (this is just sadder and it’s very a nice implementation for someone who passed away I’m just sad now )

[shy ore]

Additional notes be-like

Expectation: OMG Is that Little Prince's memorial grave?
Reality:

🌹In memory of a beloved late coworker, a Spirit has been added among the Spirits who appear in the Office, with a monument to them in Starlight Desert. Thank you for everything you did for us. ❤️

[ripe mango]

I’m excited to see a igc cape have the nature stars instead of the normal ones tho (I hope they changed to the nature stars)

THE PENDANT IS SILVER?? PLS LET THAT STAY

[vagrant fable]

My condolences to the team, I hope everyone is doing well

[shy ore]

Oh yeah, Silver pendant joined the Assembly pendant gang

[random edge]

So sorry you lost a coworker. What a nice way to honor them and the work they put into the game and their camaraderie with fellow TGC coworkers

[ripe mango]

me and the gc watching as I feed them beta information like:

[ripe mango]

IRS SO PRETTY don’t mind me as I craft a irl pendant of passage

[vagrant fable]

Since the chonk has received its own call, now we need to add Chonk call to the list of calls we need along with krill call and butterfly call

[ripe mango]

I am shaking im so excited, the cosmetics are actually so pretty

[spark lance]

maybe the person's favorite season was tlp so that's why it's in starlight desert

[light panther]

this is where i dip from lurking as i wait for my ipad to update

[vital crystal]

Additional Note
🌹In memory of a beloved late coworker, a Spirit has been added among the Spirits who appear in the Office, with a monument to them in Starlight Desert. Thank you for everything you did for us. ❤️
Will there be a memory message for them other than the area itself? May they rest in peace 😔 🕊️

[merry pewter]

my condolences for the lost member of the dev team! glad they get a special place in sky
you all do so much for us

[pallid dome]

I ate them

[frosty trout]

I'm not sure about the monument area, but their memory quest will appear in the Office starting at the next reset ❤️

[ripe mango]

SAGOMAY YALL ARE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB WITH COSMETICS AND THE PENDANT ITS SO PRETTY SILVER IVE ALWAYS WANTED A SILVER PENDANT

[kindred prawn]

Wait.. the lost member of tgc like lost lost?? Or just quit the dev team 😨

[runic fossil]

Unfortunately, they passed away. We will forever have them in our hearts.

[shy ore]

plays funeral song with Assembly Ult Trumpet for tribute

[kindred prawn]

I think it’s a great idea yall made a memorial in game too. Was starlight desert the dev’s fav area in sky? If I may ask.. is that why the location

[spark lance]

Forever grateful for their contributions to this wonderful game. My condolences to you all, sending love towards the team and towards the coworker's family

[vital crystal]

This reminded me of the Lead QA from terraria ;-;

[lilac solstice]

That's absolutely terrible. My heart goes out to everyone who knew them

[runic fossil]

We aren't going to go into the details, but your thoughts are appreciated.

[barren mist]

I will 100% check that out

[kindred prawn]

Understandable

[shy ore]

Get ready for another EMOTIONAL DAMAGE guys

[marsh crypt]

I’m really sorry to hear what happened to the coworker My heart goes out to the devs and their loved ones, the community will always appreciate what they have done for us

[desert root]

I’m sorry for the staffs loss my condolences, I hope everything is well for everyone

[frosty trout]

As Tethys said, it's not something we want to go deep into in the chat, but it was something that we didn't want there to be speculation about by the quest appearing in the Office one day unannounced. Thanks y'all for understanding

[kindred prawn]

Srry to kinda derail the convo but that emote you out at the end. If you have 8 people doing it, does it “unlock” anything or something like that? Or is the lights just there to just look pretty

[vagrant fable]

Nope, it's just a neat thing players can do

[frosty trout]

It's okay!
That emote also used to signify "I opened my emote menu and now I'm trying to find the emote I want, please don't walk away," but I think that bug was fixed a while ago, heh

[runic fossil]

hahahaaha... classic

[swift cave]

oh that’s neat

[pallid dome]

The roll emote

Its way too funny

[orchid frigate]

Gasps! Roll is fast QUICK SOMEONE GET VOI TO SPEEDRUN

[late sonnet]

the DoN cape has the wave wedge now!!
I manifested that edit haha

[spark lance]

YOOO

[untold oxide]

does the vortex quest count now-

[frosty trout]

The updates we added should make the quest completion work properly now, yes!

[elfin raft]

I'm really sorry to hear about your beloved coworker's passing. Sending my condolences to you,their family and friends.My heart goes out to you.The memorial is a very sweet way of honoring them.

[vital crystal]

this is a very cute baby seal call

[spark lance]

The fire pit prop circling around your sky kid in the first season quest looks like crabs circling you. It was visually confusing.

[meager sleet]

So sorry to hear about the passing of the tgc employee.

[rich fractal]

the memorial is lovely, i'm sorry for their passing though sending everyone at tgc light

[spark lance]

Also, the cutscene of the second quest (mask flying to forest) kept on playing on repeat every time I got up after seeing it.

[vagrant fable]

#beta-season-test-chat ~

[languid sandal]

Omg my wish for another unique pendant has been answered!

My condolences to all who have been affected by the loss of our beloved sky family member! It would be lovely to hear about some of the contributions they made.

[normal palm]

Hi is anyone else unable to do the vortex daily? I went to go clear it after the door and nothing is showing up after activating it

[gray moat]

i cant find the shrine in the desert, any hints on where in the desert it is?

[gilded parrot]

I've been wondering that as well! Remember that your struggles can help many players in the Live version, and that feedback is extremely useful for TGC! Please submit them in #beta-feedback after getting help here Just be sure to read #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues first

[languid sandal]

Jellyfish beach, near the docks <3

[gray moat]

skybot, sit in your corner and eat your peas

oooh okay tyty!

i love that it has a small cutscene as well

[languid sandal]

It's night here, I won't be able to test the new update until tomorrow. That gives me a reason to go to sleep so I can do a time skip haha!

Sleeping is kinda weird there's this blurred line between feeling like time has passed whilst also feeling like you cheated time...

[spark lance]

Already found a bug anytime I enter a new realm, my glasses function seems to enable, even though I haven't touched it yet will report asap

[frosty trout]

The update changed the sunglasses filter effect to automatically apply; do you mean that you had turned the filter off, and then it's reenabled after you go into a new area or level?

[normal palm]

Tried refreshing the server ans activating it several times, I'm still not able to do the great vortex quest at all. The cutscene triggers, and only once did Angler show up - other than that? There was no quest to complete

[noble mantle]

It is not directly beta related but just a little bit, I want to say I am sorry for the staff loss. We will think of this special star everytime we cross Eden's beautiful Sky.

[frosty trout]

Did you check in with the daily quest statue in Home? And free the trapped creature on the beach?

[normal palm]

Mhm. Each time I tried ro reload Sanctuary as well. I'll go in and make a bug report in a bit. But so far I've gotten no results.

[left quest]

BETA UPDOOT

[frosty trout]

Out of curiosity, had you already done the quest earlier today?

[normal palm]

Nope, I did claim dailies a bit before the update released... but I didn't actually start running them until after I had downloaded it.

[dire escarp]

Mine only completed the last build, going to sanctuary and freeing the creature on the island with the days of nature spirits gave a circular light fragment metre, similar to the ones when doing a valley race, or playing a sheet music, after filling that the quest completed

[frosty trout]

So you claimed the dailies after the most recent reset but before downloading this update?
(Do you mean claim as in get the candle? Or just "checking in" to make them possible to complete?)

[normal palm]

I accepted my daily quests before the update, I didn't complete any dailies or accept the candles from them until after the update to clairify, I'm sorry for the confusion ^^

[frosty trout]

Ah I see, okay

Please go ahead and send a bug report, but it would be helpful to include the information about checking in with the dailies, just in case that's a factor.

[normal palm]

Will do! Hence why I made sure to clairify. I'll try to get scrernshots as well. and if i can, a video, but android can be annoying to get a video from

Thanks for asking for some clarifications. I'll be sure to add them in my bug report

[tidal aurora]

who passed away

[spark lance]

Yes! It was enabled when I logged on, so I turned it off, but became enabled again when I entered prairie. Turned it off again once more, returned home, and then it was enabled again (Apologies for late response, was in game )

[frosty trout]

Ah okay, thanks! If you have a chance to fill out a bug report for it, we'd appreciate it1

[spark lance]

It happened when I entered forest/valley/vault too, and will do! I'll fill it out as soon as I get settled in

[cloud carbon]

The memorial is so much more than I imagined it could've ever been. Its so nice and quiet. I also like how it feels integrated, the rose could feel just part of little prince, and folks who might not know can find it to still be such a wonderful tribute for the rose. Those that do know, feel that even so much more

[left quest]

The second beta updates I’m gonna go pay a moment of respect at the memorial.
It’s been updating for awhile though.

[cloud carbon]

Oftentimes i forget my google play wont update without wifi. Make sure thats on if thats your case scenario too

[alpine field]

My condolences for the passing of your beloved coworker. May they rest in peace, and thank you so much for letting us know, this made the memorial so much more special.

[signal wing]

I think it was allready writen in build updatess...

Btww..is vertex is buggyyy?

[fluid cobalt]

Omg a new doot

[prime lagoon]

I'm still experiencing server error even after updating the app, how sad

[idle nexus]

One of these days, discord will properly ping me on time when there's an update instead of it being a day later or me finding out due the activity here.

[left quest]

Visited the memorial, sat there for a little while. I never knew them but other people did, and everyone deserves to be remembered. I hope your coworker is resting in the stars in peace. They were loved greatly.

[tidal aurora]

add them in orbit too (please)

[runic fossil]

you'll be able to meet them in the office.

[tidal aurora]

yea but orbit makes sense too

matter of fact, add them everywhere 🥹

[delicate shuttle]

YEES I KNEW IT I SNIFFED THE DOOT YES

[cobalt jacinth]

Well if they were Sky friends (and there's a great possibility), they will be seen in orbit. Rest in peace, fly in forever Skies ✨

[wary star]

what does it mean by beloved late coworker

[tidal aurora]

dead

[wary star]

oh. oh my god

[delicate shuttle]

prince..... 🥀

[wary star]

that is actually horrible im so sorry tgc dev team

[opaque vapor]

yeah that's awful. hope everyone at tgc is doing alright

[noble hill]

I don't know what happened, but the fact that you cared enough to add a memorial to the game tells me that they were well loved 🫂 I'm so sorry for everyone's loss

[wary star]

crying right now

[cobalt jacinth]

Was it Zahlya ? Her disappearing from this server and now the memorial ...

[daring sun]

Was it zahlya? Pls tell me it wasn't I just remember people coming here saying they couldn't find her discord profile to send leaks to

Edit: tib ! We thinking with the same brain cell

[runic fossil]

No, it wasn't Zahlya. She is fine and had just moved on to other things.

[tidal aurora]

may we know who?

[left quest]

It’s probably better not to ask. /nm

[runic fossil]

we won't be sharing details in chat, but you can meet them in the office. They weren't a presence on Discord, but integral.

[tidal aurora]

whats nm

[left quest]

Not mad.

[tidal aurora]

im sorry im trying to not sound insensitive i have a hard time with things like this

[left quest]

You’re okay!

[idle nexus]

Can someone check something for me? When I first went to the vortex (after update) I got hit skip and then nothing happened. When I left and came back, I didn't skip and the cleanup was able to start since the fisherman showed up.

I went back to see if skipping makes it so you can't do anything, but I no longer get the intro to the vortex now that I've done the clean up. Can someone check to see if this is a bug or not.

[runic fossil]

you're fine. thank you for caring and understanding

[wary star]

are they today's spirit?

[spark lance]

I believe they'll show up after reset

[runic fossil]

no, they will come another day.

[wary star]

ah

ive never ever cried at sky before by the way

speaking of, if a dev's still here, is the memorial and/or unfortunate announcement going to come to live?

[runic fossil]

Yes, the memorial will come to live.

[drifting pier]

Saw some beta content lately and I love the feather tassels? I wonder if they’re free or season passed🥹

[wary star]

i'm glad

@rugged minnow by the big stone ramp with the mural on it!

[rugged minnow]

is the season guide warp supposed to just take you to the beginning of isle? i dont know where im supposed to go

[hybrid wedge]

Best to follow the chat in #beta-season-test-chat, but it’s good to keep in mind that everything in beta can change, and things often get moved around on the trees during testing

[nocturne onyx]

go towards the rock cliff to the right of the map, where the map shrine is

[rugged minnow]

oh! found it

[fervent vortex]

i’ll be sure to visit it every day!

[left quest]

Is anyone else getting a weird cutscene in Vault that can't be skipped when you enter the realm?

[hybrid wedge]

The one where it zooms in on the return shrine?

[umbral pagoda]

Yea, I'm getting that as well.

[hybrid wedge]

Yeah, that’s been in since the first build I think

[left quest]

Slowmode, yeah the return shrine one.

[hybrid wedge]

Reduced the slowmode a bit, things are a bit calmer since the first build :)

Not sure if it’s a bug or not (I assume it is), probably best to keep reporting

[left quest]

Yeah! I forgot 30 seconds for me feels like doing a plank for a minute because of how fast I type. (wheeze)
I'll report it in a minute.

[solar stream]

Anyone seeing 2 floating meditation circle near anxious angler’s boat?

[marble cipher]

What happened

[bright forge]

which seasonal spirit has the ponytail?

[solar stream]

#beta-season-test-chat would be better for this

[gilded parrot]

Quick reminder!

Use this channel discuss "Days of" event testing or other Beta-related topics! This keeps discussions organized in this testing phase.
For seasonal testing chatter, head to #beta-season-test-chat
💭 Continue to send your feedback in #beta-feedback! This chat isn't a replacement for that.

[hazy vortex]

can ppl that doesn't have beta access still send feedback regarding the cosmetics?

[marble cipher]

Need at least 1 korean typa hair

[hybrid wedge]

Yep, though I think in the past devs have asked for the feedback post to include a mention of whether you play the beta or not

[vernal turtle]

I just tested it, and yea, that definitely seems to be the case. We should go ahead and bug report it

[hazy vortex]

oki thank you!

[radiant drum]

It’s always good to do some research in the channels here first before sending feedback as well, if you do not have access to the Beta version to check them out for yourself. But the channels are open to everyone

[timid valve]

I'm at the vortex and I have no idea what to do... the light creatures are spinning in a circle underwater and there's nothing else to pick up??
Ohh thanks

[white latch]

Huh what

Oh it’s 10 seconds cooldown

[hybrid wedge]

@raw wasp I’m not sure how you intended that post, but it came across as unnecessarily aggressive.

If folks disagree with each other, the rules require us to do so respectfully, or just not reply at all

@marble cipher there’s no need to continue an argument here

The rule applies to everyone.

[fervent vortex]

hello silly little beta chat in my phone how are yall

[white latch]

Please no more arguments I need to say something about the event

[vagrant fable]

Speak forth, O Child of Sanctuary

[marble cipher]

I really like the pants color it match the enchantment stuff

[hybrid wedge]

I’m really loving how the new light creatures sound ^^

[fervent vortex]

ONG THE SILLY LITTLE THING IN SACTUARY? i have yet to see that whwre is it

[white latch]

Okay it took me forever to remember, can the seal looking creature stay forever?

I want them to be my personal pet someday

[brave yoke]

Well, the turtle seems to have stayed

[analog citrus]

So they sound like dolphins but look like seals

[daring sun]

I love the sound of the new light creatures too

[wary star]

personally i think they should've delayed aurora to after this years nature so we could become seals

[brave yoke]

I think they're supposed to be vaquitas, a nearly-extinct dolphin species

[analog citrus]

I wish they were shiny like other light creatures

[daring sun]

Aurora 2.0 (doesn't need to be a season , maybe an event?) With new song as the new light creature

[vagrant fable]

Ehe that means "tiny cow"
They're little sea moo moos

[solar stream]

I was thinking it looks like manatee

[white latch]

I wanna be FISH AGAIN

[wanton yacht]

Still voting to call them Friendly Light Water Creatures

[spark lance]

They're chonky frens. And I want to hug them

[vagrant fable]

No, see, we have officially dubbed them "The Chonk™"

[hybrid wedge]

The Light Chonk

[white latch]

Hmmm most of the light creature doesn’t seems to have eyes

[wanton yacht]

I can stand for that

[idle nexus]

Thank you! I'll go report it now.

[vagrant fable]

They're made of light, they see from the inside

[marble cipher]

I wish the headband of that one hair can able to hide/show

[trim temple]

the new neck fluff item is so

aight that's all from me for now, goodnight everyone!

[half kestrel]

SEA MOO MOOS ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE IT SMMM

[vast grail]

There sure is some tweaks to the constellation as well, no?

[potent cargo]

[proper condor]

ThIs is sad news about your friend. Would love to pay my respects at the monument. Anyone know where it is exactly ?

[spark lance]

Jellyfish cove, in starlight desert

[analog citrus]

Yeah the friendship constellation got harder to read in my opinion. Seems like we reverted back to the old scrapped version were you cant tell who you lit or not and everything got dim so my friends look like the random stars behind them :/

[late sonnet]

tbh all the game UI in general got tweaked cuz the closet icons don't look washed out anymore but I guess it's just linked to constellation as well

[vagrant fable]

It's at the jellyfish cove in the starlight desert

[austere merlin]

I say we dub the light creatures “flying potatoes”

[brave yoke]

@vernal turtle you have to talk to the spirit in the boat! They're the one who gives you the quest now.
Sorry for the ping, I just read your bug report.

[vernal turtle]

No, Ik that. But when you skip the cutscene, he doesn't even show up

[errant ember]

i am silently referring to them as knishes

[brave yoke]

missed that part

[sand dawn]

me: trying to upload a picture of my skykid
discord: explicit content

[peak mason]

Clyde is very functional and has no problems whatsoever

[sand dawn]

worst part it it does activate the cooldown

[lost swan]

How to I complete the clear the vortex quest when it gives me nothing to clean

[late sonnet]

go to the angler to start the quest

[proper condor]

Thank you

[vernal turtle]

Don't skip the cutscene, and do as Cy said

[lost swan]

Thank you

[eager harness]

Are the new light creatures the ones at the debris?

Does anyone know where the monument is?

[hybrid bobcat]

mb wrong channel

[late sonnet]

when do we know when anything comes out from beta into live

[daring sun]

Yes, those are the new light creatures

The monument is in starlight desert where all the jellyfish are , at that little beach

[jaunty cosmos]

I really hope they add the new creature's call for us to use

I wanna make dolphin sounds

[daring sun]

An ominous whale sound would be fun too

[restive needle]

is there any update to the accessibility paywall mask

[daring sun]

For future ofc, save for season of whales

[daring sun]

It's still iap

[restive needle]

well that sucks. but i’m talking about the feast mask that reduces all bloom though, but i didn’t see anything about it in beta updates so i’m assuming this might just be like this still

[daring sun]

Those goggles are igc

And only available during feast

my beta skid has to wait until next feast testing to aquire them

[full jewel]

Tbh the new days of nature cape really says a lot about how bad the candle inflation got

[alpine field]

Is it still 180 candles? I haven’t checked yet

[full jewel]

Unfortunately

[earnest pawn]

and days of nature isn't that old - first time was 20 hearts for the coral crown thingy, this was the only in game currency item available for the first 3 yrs the rest was iap/donations. For a first in game currency cape from this event 180 candles is insane, while most first capes of events are around 80

[agile hazel]

I can understand the cape being expensive because it's transparent but 180 is way too much

[mighty mulch]

As long as our candle income stays the same, cosmetics shouldn't go above a certain price imo.
180 is really too much.

[spark lance]

I also agree that it’s too much

[cyan holly]

[earnest pawn]

the only other cape that is close to that is the days of rainbow 175 candles - which I think it also really steep. I think it would be fair if it's maybe 120 because it's kind of fancy with the transparency and it's only really one/two colours while the rainbow cape is a bunch of colours.

[exotic falcon]

they should really increase the amount of candle players can earn or decrease the price of cosmetic cause its getting out of hand

[agile hazel]

While you do only need to get 13 candles daily for 2 weeks out of 3, there's also the TS to consider

[spark lance]

is friending broken again?

[mighty mulch]

the rainbow cape set a bad precedent for pricing imo, since cosmetic prices have always been ++ and never --

[tidal aurora]

i think this cape is a steal

[spark lance]

Should we all add feedbacks then? Hopefully, the price will go down

[stable quiver]

Their explanation is that they’ve increased 15 to 20 candles to complete the chevrons. What we actually need is the total max candles earned per day to increase…. What is this logic that tgc can’t grasp?

[tidal aurora]

then the prices are still gunna rise, but be even more expensive

[stable quiver]

Imo, capes shouldn’t be more than 150. The events plus needing to save up for other events doesn’t make sense.

[leaden oak]

Who was the co-worker that passed away ?

[spark lance]

We don't know and let's not ask that please /nm

[hybrid wedge]

I understood the blog explanation about the 20 candles to mean that they applied the daily light set-up to the max number of candles that were possible to get in the game at the time DL was added

[leaden oak]

Alright then

[stable quiver]

A moth had to stop playing because they felt that they could never get cosmetics which was a shame. Two events for 450 candles? You simply can’t even gain that number of candles in two weeks.

[kindred prawn]

What’s /nm mean

[tidal aurora]

not mean apparently

[spark lance]

/nm means not mad

[vernal turtle]

Not mad iirc

[kindred prawn]

Ahh ok

[hybrid wedge]

@leaden oak it’s understandable to ask, and also understandably it’s something that staff don’t/can’t necessarily go into a bunch of detail about. But this is a comment from one of the staff who was in the channel earlier

[tidal aurora]

👺👺👺👺

yall made me look stupid

[hybrid wedge]

We aren’t born knowing everything there is to know, it’s all good waifruit

(Tethys and Sagomay were in chat earlier if you want to backread some of their posts, fwiw)

[prime lagoon]

Imo for pricing, they should also consider the candles that we'd spend on making friends in game. Isn't that the most important point of a social game? Consider that we get 20 candles daily and make that as a base for higher pricing is not good...(?) IMO

[earnest pawn]

I was confused by the explanation that they increased the limit to 20 total and made it harder to reach anything more than that, it is still only 15 candles to complete the chevrons and has been for idk maybe 2 yrs. I grind every day myself in live until my candle turns grey - I put in a lot of hours also helping other people cr and wl run, dailies etc and give hearts to newer people. I would have liked to see the limit upped by even 5 regular candles more so we can at least get 25 white candles a day during seasons. That isn't a whole lot extra but it would make the prices seem more doable at least. I'd like to be more generous but I also would like to be able to afford the things that I do like and still foster the friendships i've made

[tidal aurora]

how bout a daily login system to give a lil chunk of free candles daily (just a small chunk)

(a smidge)

(a crumb)

[earnest pawn]

I think if I'm not mistaken that would be the daily quests (during non seasonal time)

[prime lagoon]

Yeah like daily gift for log in to the game

[agile hazel]

Increasing the candle limit won't work unless there's a rehaul of the system itself. TGC bases prices on the length of events as well, so it takes 2 weeks to get the nature cape with 1 week leeway. The price would just increase as well to stay 2 weeks

[tidal aurora]

that you have to work for plus thats only for like a week at this point, i mean like a calendar sort of deal that rewards you for getting on everyday and building the streak for more candles

[late sonnet]

I think the candle cost for DoN cape is fair considering the event is 3 weeks long compared to 2
if you grind like 12 candles every day you can save up for it by the end

[tidal aurora]

real

[stable quiver]

I find it hilarious when f2p players can only skip one day of the season if they want to complete the season I remember it used to be 7 days or something

[spark lance]

A system like that would give me an excuse to end my 1.4k+ streak on amino and make a new streak elsewhere /hj

[earnest pawn]

I think they did increase the length of events to 3 weeks instead of 2 - there will still be overlap of traveling spirits unless they change that up - which it seems they have with the assembly group return but then you really have to pick your favourites.

[tidal aurora]

i kinda would like the idea of a f2p player being able to get 1 ult as a reward for getting on everyday and getting all the challenges + sc

[late sonnet]

you can still skip a few days if you don't buy the spell blessing nodes in the trees
like the ones that are 35 candles at the end just don't get them cuz when the spirit comes back they will reduce down to 5 candles anyway

[kindred prawn]

Sooooo many people would complain if tgc made this a thing

[tidal aurora]

yea but theyre like "well we had to work for ours" so make the f2p players work for just 1 ult

[earnest pawn]

I think it's also a motivator to encourage people to gift the passes

[agile hazel]

You're forgetting that you have to essentially pay for the ults as well

[peak mason]

nightmare!

[earnest pawn]

yes at the top of the trees is the seasonal hearts used for the ults

[tidal aurora]

OORRRRR make an exclusive ult for players who do the most (get on everyday+do the dailies+sc runs) for everyone

(my favorite idea)

[wanton yacht]

Idk like i can see the idea of 365 days of consistent log-ins (and maybe requiring dailies done) could equal an Ult. Buuuut yeah it usually comes down to money. If anything is bonus it cant be for something that once was money (as much as i personally would be willing to have f2players access to p2players coming from me who pays for everything)

[earnest pawn]

in other news I LOVE THE MANATEE NOISE OR WHATEVER IT IS

[tidal aurora]

(i really wanted that blue sparkle aurora dress and i think it woulda been perfect for it to be the get on everyday reward in my head)

[wanton yacht]

Y e s

[tidal aurora]

mayn why didnt they make that blue sparkle aurora dress buyable

THAT shoulda been the 200 candle pant NOT CUCUMBER PANT 👺👺👺

[earnest pawn]

Is anyone else having trouble doing the clearing trash quest? there's no hand symbol to pick up trash after I did 2 freeing of the animals

[stable quiver]

You need to speak to the angler

[steep glade]

Which Spirit actually gives the outfit that the 3 are wearing? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere of who has what.

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[earnest pawn]

They all say WIP so... idk either

[earnest pawn]

I mean after I freed two animals it didn't say complete and the angler never showed I did activate it too - nvm the angler didn't show the first time but this time it did. ty

[spice mason]

Skybot, honey. You're half an hour late. Let's get you to bed.

[leaden oak]

I’m using my sister’s android because it has beta. Does anyone know the location of the memorial ? In starlight desert

[spark lance]

Jellyfish cove

[leaden oak]

Found it ! Thanks. Also very unfortunate moment 🕊️

[barren mist]

Theres like 3 floating sitting spots near the vortex and I've been trying for the past 20 minutes to try and see if i can get a prop and sit in the spots, its so difficult though

[lethal sedge]

Yeah same here, I can't do the vortex either, no quest thing pops up so how do I do it for dq??

[spark lance]

as per #beta-announcements , the quest now activates when you talk with anxious angler first
the 3 medi spots they were talking about is completely different and afaik, doesn't do anything. might be unrelated with the event

[wary star]

this is a horrible idea

fomo is already so bad in this game (unfortunately). i could deal with one cosmetic being lost per season if it doesn't count towards 100% but you know people who play sky. they will do anything for that one cosmetic

[wary star]

also its not about working for it literally everyone "works for it" on every season excluding the first 3 (rhythm, grat, lightseekers)

i get the ap cosmetics but the ults are literally money!! we never worked for them we just got the privilege to get them (and 20/30 candles)

im cool with the "everyone gets ult" thing but its flawed

[stable marsh]

as nice as that sounds, your already have to dedicate a LOT of time to the game to finish the season. All this would do is make ppl focus on being online and CRing instead of, yknow, socializing, the whole point

[wary star]

the ults are and have been a "you had to be there" thing

the travelling spirits? a very bad way to try to fix it

[keen sage]

Encouraging, and in turn forcing people to log in EVERY SINGLE DAY and grind to get what it ultimately nothing worth the time and effort it took is how the player base dies.

[wary star]

a compromise could be releasing it WITH the temporary rerun seasons (but for longer, like 2 and a half weeks), and then slightly changing it, like performance to rhythm, and... performance to several other seasons

either way no ones gonna be happy!! atp id just prefer a "you don't get it so deal" from tgc

i wasn't able to get lightseekers' and gratitudes ults but im not being salty over it

[stable marsh]

yea I think making them available to everyone basically removes their purpose
the is nothing wrong with manufactured scarcity, especially in a game, something that at the end of the day, doesn't exist

but even if they do bring back Ults and make you basically rerun a season to get them, they would definitely have to up the price of the pass for it to make sense to do (which makes the same ppl asking for this to complain)

[signal wing]

Right now i am feeling i also get a candel bugg at this rate😞 but this isn't right too🥲

[wary star]

how about this, 10 dollars OR 80 or so ascended candles

let's finally give a use to them

the elder masks always were overpriced but this actually deserves to be like 100 AC

[hollow compass]

Did anyone else get the Vortex quest to work? I freed a few seals and then nothing happened, not timer or any other debris

[wary star]

(lowered for seasons belonging and lower, because they weren't that hard)

[agile hazel]

Definitely not IGC, just as IAP works well enough

[stable marsh]

making it free is not a good idea (referring to the AC idea)

10 dollars is the normal price of the pass (in USD) it would have to be pretty significantly more expensive or else there isn't much incentive to finish the season when it happens

[gilded parrot]

@stable marsh, 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]

I got the vortex quest to work, did you activate the quest with angler before freeing the manatees?

[signal wing]

Yaa it happened to me too befotee but you should not skip and then i went to boatt and after that i can complete the task

[wary star]

true true

[stable marsh]

girl what 🗿

[wary star]

maybe a slight discount if youve been in the season for atleast 10 days

[hollow compass]

Do you mean I shouldn't press the skip button?

[agile hazel]

Don't skip the cutscene

[signal wing]

Yaa but important is that first you should go to boatt from there the quest will start now

[spark lance]

Right, let the cutscene play and allow angler to appear. Angler had to appear in order for you to go up to them and properly activate the quest

[signal wing]

Yupp..

[hollow compass]

well, that's obvious - not
whatever was wrong with the first version...sigh

let me guess how many players will flood QnH once this quest arrives in Live

[keen sage]

people in this very chat were saying they couldn't find the quest area so now the launch method also brings you directly to it

[late sonnet]

tbh there also needs to be a hint text like "follow the light creature to free its friends" otherwise it just flies off as is

[agile hazel]

Or just bring the vortex closer

[stable marsh]

it would have to be a discount from the max price (let's say $20)

I know it sucks, but no matter how you twist it there has to be incentive to actually play the season when it was intended. These ideas may make sense as a player, but tgc would be stubbing their own toe in the process

tbh I prefer the re-release as recolors method, as they did with hand pan

[signal wing]

Actually i didn't skip the cut scenes at first but the quest still didn't started...but isd i went near the boat and again saw a cut scene and the quiz started!!!! Idk what was happening

[agile hazel]

That would be a bug report, not feedback

[late sonnet]

ya'll please take this ults convo to a live channel, it's not beta related

[spark lance]

I feel like the vortex quest as a whole is gonna be very confusing unless they add more clear instructions on how to get there, how to start the quest, etc. Thankfully I already knew what to do since I've done it in a previous build, but other players, especially moths, won't have that same knowledge

I'll feedback this in the morning, it's late and my head hurts

[late sonnet]

tbh even when I went there at first the manatee just flew off and I was like oh it's done? bye lol
didn't know you had to actually follow it

[signal wing]

In first i was also all confused

[signal wing]

Truee

[hollow compass]

given that most people don't even seem to read the hint texts or watch the cut scenes, I honestly don't know how to make this quest easier other than bringing the vortex closer to the spirit and having it "honk"

[signal wing]

I think a text hintt thing will be easyy!?

[late sonnet]

if people don't read the hint text it's on them lol

[signal wing]

The quest area is bit farr soo it is kinda confusing..at first

[stable marsh]

remember some ppl have actual trouble reading

which is why visual instruction can help immensely

[signal wing]

Aahh now i m thinking people are kinda smart they will watch from YouTube ... ...😌✌️?? Idk

I Don't know what yo sayy..

[stable marsh]

well no offense or anything, but design that requires you to use things like that to progress is not very good lol

[stable marsh]

I think this idea is good (or some iteration of it) as it's cohesive to other Sky functions and can be understood by those who have trouble understanding just text

[late sonnet]

rather than find a solution, best to just submit feedback that it's still confusing as heck

[hollow compass]

Sanctuary is already difficult for moths as it is, why make an event quest mimic that?

[tidal aurora]

i mean its free when you finish the season entirely

so you already do everything in the whole season and for a free reward you get an ult

[stable marsh]

my guy- ^^^

[analog citrus]

The Vortex quest is not a great experience right now. Confusing and just kinda half baked. Hope more refinement happens and it can feel more integrated. ESPECIALLY if this all is supposed to stay after the season ends

[agile hazel]

Reckon we should get wax as well, 200 seems fair

[analog citrus]

i got a clam after i finished

[alpine field]

Tbf we CAN get wax if we swim down the vortex to the shell, but it’s not 200 wax
And the picking up debris motion is still wonky as heck

[analog citrus]

Very... and why isnt freeing the Seals part of the quest?

[alpine field]

It should be a main part of the event imo, giving that there’s at least two stuck in the nets

[agile hazel]

Honestly it should just be freeing the seals, it's much simpler and not wonky

[late sonnet]

tbh the seal freeing animation is still kinda weird like
they just swim out without struggle and I'm like wow it's that easy

[analog citrus]

This is still the 1st part right? This is supposed to be like a progression?

[late sonnet]

supposedly the amount of debris in the water increases over time then decreases as the event nears its end

[analog citrus]

o thats it? .... hmmm was expecting something different.

[late sonnet]

Note that the debris increases from phase 1 to phase 2, and then decreases in phase 3.

[analog citrus]

This is not really a quest I want to have to do over and over. At least with Geyser and Turtle you got some wax. My 3rd or 4th time in beta and I'm already kinda sick of it.

Hope they dont make it timed

[late sonnet]

tbh it's probs just made into a daily for beta so testers have the ability to go and test it
in live it would probably be a lot more like the "go see the sapling" daily where it only shows up once every few days during bloom
it's part of the regular quest rotation cycle now but like, it usually increases in frequency of appearance during events

[analog citrus]

So much going on in Sanctuary now. Thought all these spirits were supposed to be chilling on Sky Vacation. Making me work work work

[craggy elbow]

What bothers me most in the vortex quest is that swimming sucks in mobile

[livid mural]

Random but I just knew that the rose memorial area in the TLP beach is to remember an actual co-worker in TGC 😭

[blazing blade]

I don't remember them mentioning who passed but its so nice to see a memorial.

[torn gust]

Their quest is in the office today if youd like to pay a visit

[blazing blade]

Unfortunately just a beta lurker, but once it hits live for sure.

[proud coral]

Sending love to Eds family, and those who knew them best!

[minor panther]

May he rest peacefully ♡

[orchid frigate]

May we send condolences for the departed staff member of Tgc thank you for all the help

Oh jeez I was playing Undertale music when Memory/his theme started playing when I first saw the memorial

[rigid rain]

Hi guys~ did anyone have a login problem after adding friend?
my friends said they have this question when them add new friends (they're using HuaWei account to login)

[hybrid wedge]

Just a gentle reminder, it’s probably best to avoid references to info on what the family has done since this staff person’s passing, to err on the side of respecting their privacy

[shy ore]

That means you need to lower your curiousity about that

[orchid frigate]

Agree we keep this private for now if we find anything

[tidal aurora]

is there a deeper meaning for choosing the little prince area for the memorial? i dunno if that's invasive sorry if it is

[prime lagoon]

Oh yeah. I remembered I added @/chook yesterday through qr code, but after I added him, his account doesn't appear in my constellation. So I restarted the app, then server issues started to show up. Even after the update and i updated my app, the issue is still there

[quiet obsidian]

oh wait no that makes sense i added a ton of people through qrs yesterday before the errors started

[orchid frigate]

Maybe because of the stars? That’s all I mean the only area that plays at night is the desert

But we must keep quiet for now

[hybrid wedge]

I’m not sure, but if you didn’t play the season or read the book, the story’s themes include loss. (On a different note, if you haven’t done the Little Prince season quests, they’re all available in the game and really beautiful to play—I really recommend them)

[tidal aurora]

i have.. but i wish there was a way to review the cutscenes

[late sonnet]

you appear properly for me and i haven’t had any issues (android)

[hybrid wedge]

Oh, right, the cutscenes :(

[orchid frigate]

Remember when Little Prince said about it? Can you hear the stars? They will all be your friends

[quiet obsidian]

i jusg wanna log on man let me see the silly new cosmetics and plan on how to spend my silly little pounds

[prime lagoon]

Same

Guess I'll send updated bug report

[quiet obsidian]

ohh i might do that too

[orchid frigate]

Does anyone had the problem when you were your glasses and turn off effect, but when you either do to a different area the effects are back?

[lethal sedge]

Is there a name for the new cape cause there's already a ocean cape so... what's the name of the new one???

[cobalt jacinth]

LPP is also about no matter how people get separated from each other they stay connected forever in a moment of inner silence

[rigid rain]

oh sadge… but i remember last time have a same problem with my Google account, so i change to use sign in with method and it's work! i can login my account again

[cobalt jacinth]

Capes don't have official names. The current DoN cape is quite new, but often referred as the semi transparent cape.

[lethal sedge]

Ty

[bitter bronze]

||where is the vortex|| please help

[gilded parrot]

Are you sure you looked everywhere? It has to be somewhere! Remember to try searching for things in Beta yourself, and if you're struggling with something and still need help, submit that to TGC in #beta-feedback to help them improve it after getting help here! Check #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues too!

[cobalt jacinth]

I noticed too, that some effects are still rendered in regular colors (wedges, candle animation, etc)

[lethal sedge]

Use the nature guide in home and find the small light creature, free it and follow it

[tidal aurora]

"are you sure you looked everywhere 🤓🤓🤓"

GRAH I SKY BOT MAKES ME SO ANGRY

[quiet obsidian]

WHAT i can log in on my alt but not my main. TGC WHY

[lethal sedge]

...I didn't know beta allowed alts..?

[cobalt jacinth]

Unfortunately these reminders are necessary because usually feedbacks are mostly lacking in quest completion and gameplay

[quiet obsidian]

yeah as long as you aren’t making profit off them you can use them for testing

[lethal sedge]

... is that why beta is always full?

thank you too those who are replying with emojis, I was worried for a sec that that's why it took so long for me to join the beta testers cause people had alts

[cobalt jacinth]

Invites are not based on slots but based on lack of individual activities, feedback and bug report numbers I think
Back in the day there were 8x more people in beta servers than supposed to

[lethal sedge]

I learn new things every day

[cobalt jacinth]

The only platform that is limited by test flight is iOS but that has a limitation for players too (iOS tester can get out of beta after 90ish days of inactivity)
When more player feedback and bug reports are needed invites do open rest assured

[maiden pond]

But typically I'm assuming that takes a long time, too.

[cobalt jacinth]

For those who wait for invites definitely

[kindred fossil]

I was aware of beta since Dec 2019 but joined almost halfway through 2020, it does take time

[orchid frigate]

Mmh I joined in Beta Abyss and still playing and looking at some of the players I added hadn’t either played the game anymore or forgot

[strong sentinel]

They probably realised “beta is not live and bugs are painful to deal with”
Freeloading is difficult in beta actually

[kindred fossil]

Still remember the guy that joined for a couple of seconds and immediately said "take my slot I don't want it", I hope they're doing alright

[glacial storm]

I'm patiently waiting for beta to reopen for invites. I missed it 😔

[daring sun]

I wonder if it was having to start all over as a moth that made them say "I'm out✌️"

[agile hazel]

I skipped Abyss invite wave and I regret that cause no infinite candle bug

[daring sun]

I know the feeling took me 2-3 invite waves to get in tbh because of how fast it fills up

[orchid frigate]

Honestly some bugs are fun but it is very responsible to tell Tgc about it

[daring sun]

Yeah shout out to everyone who religiously reports all bugs they find,

I report some but mostly try to contribute to beta through my feedback and thoughts on the game

[maiden pond]

That's just as good though. Feedback goes a long way.

[meager sleet]

I think I'm one of the rare ones that is happy I'm not in beta lol . Between bugs and changes/ not putting things in to live, I'd be so bummed out lol.

Happy to have great testers and posters in this community. These channels help me plan ahead. You all are also actively making live so fun and smooth to play

You all rock!

[late sonnet]

I'm used to cool ideas being thrown out because such is the life of artist
it's fun to see how development evolves to the final product

[meager sleet]

That's very true. I'm such a sore loser lol, so i try to mitigate that in myself. It is really fun to see all the changes though, whether I agree or disagree. 😊👍

[spark lance]

same
i didn't even got to try the first versions of the abyss ult mask

[tropic orbit]

infinite candle bug was very funny, all of a sudden you just get bombarded with regular candles and seasonal candles out of the blue

[kindred fossil]

It was so funny it lasted months

[fallen thorn]

i just wanted to say im in love with this ponytail hairstyle

[mild mason]

I’m sorry everyone’s loss at TGC my condolences and sending lots of love to family and friends

[keen sage]

what?
nvm i just saw the note in the update

[smoky isle]

Sorry to interrupt the conversation, but I have watched this video about how a game (not Sky) kept on releasing reskins and made this valid point:
"The reason why [this company] this releasing reskins for the game is because not only does it save time, but it also buys them more time to work on features that requires time to implement into the game"

As much as I would agree with this point and have this as an explanation to TGC's trend of releasing "reskinned cosmetics", the question remains in my mind about how far is TGC going to take this route to the point where this statement is no longer applied/excusable

[cobalt jacinth]

That is a question even TGC themselves can't answer, it depends on so many variables

[sand garnet]

The only "reskinned" item I've seen come out in very recent updates is the sunglasses though, and those are for a charity event where the partner makes blue lens sunglasses according to what I've heard. ^_^;

[agile hazel]

While a lot of cosmetics do look similar, there's very little that I would call reskins. Too many people are conflating the two

[steady flume]

also it makes more sense for charity items to be "reskins" so that they don't spend a lot of money on the development of the cosmetics and more of it can go towards the charity

[timid bough]

imo things are always "reskinned" in a way, lots of things are built upon basic principles/frameworks and worked on
the "reskinned" stuff has always been in the game
but that does not mean its always bad, one could always prefer the same cape but red instead of black

[dense quest]

Why I can't join the Aurora's concert with friends who had Aurora's wing now?
Is not the concert time?

[agile hazel]

I just find it funny how so many people complain about reskins but demand more cosmetics as well. That's just going to add more 'reskins'

[agile hazel]

The concert isn't in beta

[spice mason]

I don't think the aurora wings feature works in beta- yeah

[azure zinc]

You can warp to the colosium with the concert. There's just no concert anymore 😔

[dense quest]

So I can't finish Aurora's last quest

[shy ore]

BETA doesn't have concert countdown, unfortunately. (Only in LIVE has a countdown)

[sick pilot]

tbh if we really want to stick to actual definitions or reskin, tgc doesn’t really reskin items that much (with glasses, dor pants, cape, earphone, and flower accessories being the exception THATS WHY I WANT NEW COSMETICS FOR DOR CUZ ALL OF THEM ARE RESKINS) most cosmetics are made in different models

the main reason people keep thinking tgc loves to reskin the cosmetics because most of those items have the same aesthetic which honestly makes a perfect sense cuz you know… before they all died people in sky were civilized and had culture of their own so ofc the design shouldn’t stray that far from that………… thennnnn for some reason people keep saying “tgc is lazy they keep reusing/recycling old assets” then the assets in questions are either three different pants with the same aesthetic or two different spirits with the same pants though it actually made that way for storytelling purposes

[sterile trail]

To me instead of reskinning the glasses they should have just brought the sanctuary ones with a twist

[ashen tusk]

isn't the twist they're blue instead of orange?

[late sonnet]

and also have the blue tint feature slapped on?

[ashen tusk]

I still think if they're gonna market them as made from recycled material they should make them fit better with the fact sky is a bunch of kids and use how they would recycle/reimagine everyday items as something else so like idk sticks with bits of smoothed glass from the beach or something all bungled together with some sky glue, it would be cute

[iron elbow]

also, very important, blue base mask ☝️

[ashen tusk]

also unrelated but when y'all go into vault does your camera pan and zoom towards the back corner where the home med spot is (before it's spawned) or is that just me?

[ashen tusk]

this just made me think of sky kids not even having glasses but just having a plain mask and splatting paint on around the eyes as if they're wearing glasses

[iron elbow]

oh, my game definitely has been doing that ever since passage dropped, but I always forget to record it for a report

[ashen tusk]

same but I think I'll go grab a recording after I finish this run cause I remembered now

[late sonnet]

I don't have the orange sunnies in beta but like
in live the back of those glasses are literally just flat white plank you literally can't see out of them at all
the blue one is a legit upgrade ngl

[quiet obsidian]

the real question is do the skykids eyes glow behind the blue glasses because they don’t glow behind the orange ones

[late sonnet]

nope

[kindred fossil]

It zooms into any meditation shrines that have such cutscenes, try it at Village theater lol

[spark lance]

it's so annoying but at least it reminds me that there's a seasonal candle cluster by the entrance to the archives

[ashen tusk]

maybe they're trying to remind us they exist since not many use them often

[ashen tusk]

OH I MISSED THAT ONE OMG, THANK YOU

[kindred fossil]

It should appear for moths but not us

[errant badge]

Off topic but: I was watching the animation project teaser and seeing all those people made me wish we actually had a civilization in sky realms

[dry ibex]

Is anyone else experiencing trouble with collecting the spells from DoN? Every time I try to collect it, it’s saying “reached maximum amount of purchases”

[tawdry pine]

I'm sorry to the random person who got a ghost ping I did a edit of the abyss spirit but discord deemed the edited SpongeBob meme to be inappropriate

[ashen tusk]

either angler is completely obtuse or tgc are hopefully gonna shift pinning the blame on a local fisher to a big vessel and hold big corps accountable
#beta-screenshots-videos message

Hoping for the latter but considering angler feels both remorseful for leaving their gear and confused about who left the gear in the first place I guess they're obtuse

[late sonnet]

tbh it is a little sus that they're the only one out there so like
who left that there in the middle of a very clean ocean lol

[tawdry pine]

Embedded fail I am sad

[ashen tusk]

imagine if it was sanctuary spirits all along

[late sonnet]

tbh can imagine chill being a litterer

[ashen tusk]

the vortex started last year when chill set up shop by turtle island and it got worse this year because they're back again

[vapid field]

Where is the said vortex of waste??? Is it a timed event like grandma or geyser??

[gilded parrot]

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

[trail prairie]

The horn earrings look like bananas ngl

[left quest]

Grouch is a litterer.

[kindred fossil]

It actually was the King, since they're the punching bag of anything that has gone wrong ever

[ripe mango]

So placing a gazebo with a barrier around the Memorial could deter people. Too bad ppl don’t have common sense but sometimes ppl may not know it’s a memorial (I’m not saying everyone, just some)

I do Wonder how they’ll change things but it’s weird it’s only becoming a problem after the announcement yesterday. Or maybe ppl are only pointing it out now that we know the reason it was added and it’s not a thing to TLP rather, a real death

[hazy prawn]

The biggest defect of this event is not having a plush of the new creature of light
and that's a fact

[ripe mango]

Worse case it gets removed from the game entirely which I don’t think is a possibility unless ppl keep disrespecting it. But I do hope if they put up a barrier That it doesn’t affect the Memorial and how it looks

[smoky isle]

~~Skybot is brutal in the beta screenshots channel 😭 ~~

[ripe mango]

It’s the one in place for a employee who passed

Found in Star Light desert

They talked about it briefly in Beta Updates last Night

[tawdry pine]

A TGC staff died (may they rest in peace) and people are using the memorial as a Couple Photoshoot spot

There's even a memory candle using the place as a virtual wedding spot??? What is this

[glass spoke]

disgusting

[errant badge]

Ig they also could unable to use props and emotes when getting close to the memorial, tbh I don’t think they would add a barrier

[ashen tusk]

Skybot beaned my comment in screenshots but I will try to repeat it here

Please be mindful not everyone will know the purpose of the memorial spot - we didn't realise until this update and for whatever reason not everyone will have seen the announcement.

If you have concerns about disrespectful behaviour remember to leave feedback, but you also don't know what others are going through on the other end of their screen they may be spending time with a family member or friend to remember someone or something too. We don't know, so try not to be rude

[ripe mango]

Like i do understand maybe not everyone knows it’s a Memorial Spot because i didnt know what it was and probably wouldn’t if I didn’t read Beta Updates.

Bit it’s the fact some do know and act rude when you tell them to leave

[ashen tusk]

If they are then report and block, it's best to not give them further attention if they act that way

[ripe mango]

Also!! Sometimes couple photoshoots might NOT be couple Photoshoots!

Sometimes it’s a family member or theyre grieving their own way. Always leave room for error before going after anyone!

[late sonnet]

[not against anyone but] bit weird to grieve by sitting on someone's grave

[ripe mango]

Also just dont Go After After anyone no matter how rude theyre being. Don’t fight fire with fire and simply just leave and rejoin if theyre not listening

[glass spoke]

i personally grieve exactly like that but i don't CLIMB ON THE TALL PART LIKE

[keen lagoon]

This would be a great idea around the gazebo walk ways you know the barrier that the sky npc has to allow you in to the office because you don't have a cape? Add that but without the cape or anything or an invisible wind barrier. Because I heard from Nastymode video people was making little prince jokes about it.

[ashen tusk]

it's questionable yes, but we don't actually know if the people in the screenshot we saw know about the circumstances, I'd like to hope they didn't and if they learn they will be respectful in future

[ripe mango]

I’ve seen it happen and sky has limitations to what you can do. Sometimes ppl lay against graves etc (I spent the entire day on my grandfathers grave when I grieving irl and wouldn’t leave) /info

Also I know it’s a video game so it’s a bit weirder than irl. Plus it is weird they DONT know the Person who died. But to each their own 😅

[late sonnet]

yeah just commenting on it than making it about anyone in particular

[vagrant fable]

It's just that it looks a little silly to see someone Slav squatting on a tombstone

[quiet obsidian]

my ideas: put a reset wall around it so you can come close but not close enough to sit on top of it. Maybe a notice that says it is a memorial to a real person too, and to please be respectful. also a no shared spaces/shared memories zone around it. People can still grieve but with less opportunity to be disrespectful.

[keen lagoon]

Ahem.. People still going to find away and glitch into it some how—

[ripe mango]

Again, I’m not trying to like be on the Ppls side who are disrespectful I’m just trying to say some reasons why their behaviour is happening. Of course, I’m fairly certain most of the ppl doing this know the reason and just want a pretty place to take pictures (probably)

I cant read their minds unfortunately and sometimes ppl are just too stubborn to listen and you have to take drastic measures to stop them

And again, worse case they either remove the Memorial all together or move it to somewhere less ppl can get to like the office or smth locked because a Wall Limited ppl can get too

[vagrant fable]

If they really want to go through the effort to be disrespectful, sure, but most people are going to be sensible enough to not do that

[ripe mango]

Never doubt the lengths someone will go to..

[kindred fossil]

Unless it's a wind wall

There is always going to be someone or something disrespectful, it's more about lessening the chances of that

[ripe mango]

I find the thought funny someone trying to get ‘cute pictures’ while using glitches to get to the middle but unable to because their character keeps freaking out as the Wind Bashes them

[ashen tusk]

Ultimately it depends on how tgc feel they want to proceed, at the end of the day they maybe already considered different possibilities already, but the main thing I'm getting from the inclusion of the memorial is they wish to pay respects to a beloved coworker but also allow us sky kids to do the same, but they've let it so far ambiguous. I think they'll decide in time what they feel is best going forward, as long as we all do our best at the very least to be respectful then regardless of how anybody else behaves we know we're doing our part.

[kindred fossil]

But I personally believe the best course of action from us is to leave feedback and report who we may come across as genuinely disrespectful, there's not much else we can do about this situation

[tawdry pine]

Windwall but it always shoots you upwards at top speed ||so everyone can see who is being disrespectful||

[ripe mango]

Make it like the goblet of fire in Harry Potter and it gives you a bunch of weird funky cosmetic spells that last 24 hours That you CANT remove 😈

[solid kindle]

my eyes r teary reliving their spirit in the office oh my goodness

[tawdry pine]

This just angers me a lot ack

[quiet obsidian]

desperately annoyed that i cant go relive their office spirit rn

[tawdry pine]

Finally

Clown cosmetics

[ripe mango]

I am all for light hearted jokes to keep ppl from being disrespectful

The cosmetics certainly won’t hurt you but ppl will definitely know you were being rude :]

[vagrant fable]

That's even how a lot of games keep their players in check

[ripe mango]

Finally Clown cosmetics but the only catch is you gotta act like a clown to Gettem

[wraith agate]

i love that last one ngl

[vagrant fable]

(off topic but your pfp is just perfection)

[tawdry pine]

(thank, yours is cool too!)

[ripe mango]

I think I’ll write up some suggestions for this stuff later because I’m lazy..and need to not stay asleep in wasteland because I got distracted.

So good luck everyone with the crs and hope y’all have a nice day till we talk again

[sand garnet]

I hope maybe the dearly departed staff member had a sense of humor for sky kids' antics and that's why there isn't already a barrier but we have no way of knowing so it would be better if folks behaved more respectfully regardless. ^_^;;

[ashen tusk]

It's touching that we could help Don by burning the darkness as they helped the rest of the team, they seem to have been an important member of tgc and it's warming to have had the opportunity to work with them whilst reliving their memory

[sand dawn]

shooting upwards at top speed?, that sounds like it could be fun, it should not be in any way rewarding to sit on the memorial stone.

same thing for cosmetics “curses”

[tawdry pine]

Ack :/

[chilly zenith]

oh
yeah no i think
they should move it. or at least put a sign up for people so that they know if that stuff is happening

[spiral grotto]

Invisible barrier so they can see but not get close?

[stuck condor]

I mean invisible walls are easily broken through 😔

[chilly zenith]

yeaahh

[frosty trout]

Morning all! ☕ Just a note:

Also just dont Go After After anyone no matter how rude theyre being. Don’t fight fire with fire and simply just leave and rejoin if theyre not listening
100% this, please. We realize that this is going into a game, and that Sky kids have a certain amount of chaos. When this goes live, not everyone will know about it, and that's okay. It's kind of like writing song lyrics with poetry you intend a certain way, and then when other people hear it they interpret the poetry of it differently.

[spark lance]

(morning sago! )

[quiet obsidian]

morning sago!! could i ask a question??

[spark lance]

I was trying so hard not to cry while reliving the memory in the office but when Don said they're going to the starlight desert for a while, i completely lost it

[frosty trout]

Sure, I'll try to answer it if I can

[quiet obsidian]

are the server errors supposed to be fixed? i’ve not been able to log on all day

[frosty trout]

Argh

All day as in, since reset? Since before reset?

[delicate shuttle]

i also want to ask!
🥺🥺🥺
will there be any mask in new season? i liked masks in quests but i really wanna see them in our wardrobe 🥺

[cobalt jacinth]

I had some errors a day or so ago but it has been fine since

[quiet obsidian]

since yesterday when we were having errors and you came to ask about which regions we were in

[frosty trout]

WAFO!

[frosty trout]

Ahh okay

I'll let the team know that some folks are still being affected. Sorry you've been having trouble though, chook!

[quiet obsidian]

thank you!! i sent a bug report and there’s one other person i know of being/been affected who has also reported

[kindred fossil]

Sago, I have an exploit to report with an IAP cosmetic, but I don't want to expose it through a bug report, where else should I report it?

[frosty trout]

Oh, thanks Dark—please go ahead and DM me, though it would be helpful if you could include the same kind of info and steps to reproduce the bug as what Skybot would ask for

[vagrant fable]

ThatSkyBot
ThatSagoBot

[left quest]

ThatCrabBot

[frosty trout]

That's the 4.1 upgrade

[peak mason]

instead of cold pinging now they just bonk you

[sly arch]

Hello Sagomay! How's the morning!

[frosty trout]

The morning's good. Looking through the feedback, I appreciate the stuff people have sent in about the vortex quest updates! (Thanks all!)

[vernal turtle]

(I have more pics to send, but arggghhh the slowmode )

[sudden pine]

i havent done vortex yet but mask tag feels way better

[vernal turtle]

I just did it earlier, other than the skip cutscene bug, it works fine

[sudden pine]

events just continue showing that sky ancestors really need to work on their occupational safety

[vernal turtle]

Also, hi, Sagomay

[stark root]

Sagomay jumpscare

[sly arch]

Btw, I just saw the Beta Update Notes.
I didn't have time to actually open Beta to do some testing and visit the Memorial area.

But to Don, I thank you for all the help you have given to the TGC staff as an IT Manager and to us Players as a TGC Staff. You did so much behind the scene, your work won't be forgotten.

Sending my deepest respect to you

[gilded basin]

the kingdom wouldntve fallen if we just had osha

[tawdry pine]

The moment I see OSHA all I think of is that one video listing Smash Bros Ultimate OSHA violations

sky osha violation list when

[vernal turtle]

Forgive me, but what's OSHA?

[tawdry pine]

The organization that makes sure working places are safe

[quiet obsidian]

oh geez all the various mines in the game would have serious violations 💀

[tawdry pine]

you can not hide your ladders from me/ref

[frosty trout]

The spirits were put on notice after that hole in the stairs in the Dreams Village/Hermit Valley area

[sudden pine]

"Occupational Safety and Health Administration" so for your eye protection and your hard hats and dont stand on the top rung of a ladder and please for goodness sakes if you're an ancestor dont try to mine on the side of a cliff without a safety harness

[frosty trout]

Safety goggles cosmetic coming Soon™️!

[sudden pine]

days since last mining accident: 0

[tawdry pine]

The spirits are using the former kings treasures/money/candles to pay the OSHA fines

[marsh crypt]

Just dropping my opinion here, I feel like a message can be added in the cutscene when we interact with the memorial, so people can immediately know that they should at least be respectful and appropriate I can’t say it’ll fully prevent rude behaviour but it’ll at least minimise the chances on a significant extent.

[sick pilot]

sagomay, do the devs have any plan to implement the no bloom filter, like yeti goggle, in the setting?

[stuck rose]

Is it just me or sanctuary vortex clearing doesn’t start even if you see creature and talk to it

[vernal turtle]

Don't skip the cutscene

#beta-screenshots-videos message

Also, Kai said here there's a memo on the website about Don, can anybody link that for me? I would like to see for myself

[potent forge]

https://thatgamecompany.com/our-team/

[stuck rose]

Which one do you mean?
Before circle used to appear just after you tap ❕

[vernal turtle]

As in, when the cutscene for the Vortex triggers, don't skip it. A bug causes the event to not trigger if you skip the cutscene

[vagrant fable]

Oh so that's what happened

[signal wing]

Yaaaa

[vital crystal]

Don's memory in the office genuinely made me teary, it's like he's actually alive. It feels like it is more than enough of a Eulogy prop placement in his place at the starlight desert might be disabled some time

[stuck rose]

Still have no clue which scene you talking about
I watched both: flying creature and boat appearing
Still nothin

[vernal turtle]

The cutscene that occurs when you first get to the Vortex. Don't skip it. Idk about the cutscene you get when the Angler gives you the quest, but I would assume don't skip that either. I.e. don't skip any cutscenes

[sly arch]

Yes, they should disable prop placement around that area as some players may use them in a wrong way.

A memorial is a place to respect and give love. Not a place to place props

[vernal turtle]

Also, speaking of cutscenes, is it just me, or does it take longer for the skip prompt to appear for Vault cutscenes?

[vagrant fable]

#beta-screenshots-videos message

Sagomay commenting about that ^^^

[sly arch]

I just saw it now, I'm currently reading this

[stuck rose]

To future players who may struggle like me:
You have to see fisherman first to activate quest not a creature

[vernal turtle]

Says it in #beta-announcements as well

[sick pilot]

the part when he said he’s gonna go to starlight desert is so sad like.. he’s not gonna come back isnt he 😭

[vagrant fable]

How to do vortex quest:

• warp to nature guide
• go left
• find Chonk
• free Chonk
• follow Chonk
• see cutscene (don't skip it)
• talk to Angler
• start!

[keen lagoon]

Are y'all still working on the deep call for krill?? I haven't saw anything about it sence the new days of bloom update

[white sparrow]

There’s a krill call!?!

[spark lance]

You can deep call to distract krills, iirc

[vernal turtle]

They mean the krill distraction feature I think

[white sparrow]

Ah that makes more sense

[frosty trout]

That's not a focus for this round of testing. Don't worry, when we focus on it again I'll be sure to mention it in the update notes and add a lame joke about it while I'm at it

[ashen tusk]

Excited for any update jokes you have! Highlight of beta reading

[vagrant fable]

We don't know, only when the devs need more testers

[narrow current]

Yes i need me some krill distraction feature before 21.0 reaches live hehe

[last rover]

i just saw nastymold's video. i have never met don but i felt the appreciation and love the staff has for them in the spirit memory. the memorial is beautiful and it was difficult not to get teary eyed upon seeing it. rest in peace 🌹

[left quest]

I just looked at images of the spirit and I’ve never been close to crying while playing this game in my life

(Referring to this: #beta-screenshots-videos message )

[kind summit]

iirc, every season so far has given us at least one new mask. do you think we'll get a new mask with this season and it just hasn't been released yet, or no?

[golden rampart]

What is meant with "Rest near it until nightfall?"

[drowsy fiber]

The quest starts about every 15 minutes. You'll have to wait.

[cobalt jacinth]

No one knows, but I'm sure cosmetics are not released based on statistics rather how concept artists find it would fit into season theme. A season without a mask definitely would be a new thing though

[random galleon]

Considering the guide is a maskmaker, I wonder if masks won’t be a part of the spirits’ trees, but be purchasable from the guide instead
Might be a better suited discussion for #beta-season-test-chat though

[quiet obsidian]

im still having server issues im in pure agony

[languid sandal]

For the first time in years *two teardrops managed to escape my eyes after seeing Don's spirit memories. Coming from my dry eyes that translates to someone bawling in tears.

Have a good ascension into the Light, Don. Thank you for all that you did. 𓆩✧𓆪

[ashen tusk]

day 282649 of a chookless beta

[quiet obsidian]

this is the first time i truly feel exactly like this emote

[ashen tusk]

hopefully you can join us again soon, no luck on your alts?

[quiet obsidian]

i can get on using my alts but i have no motivation to actually play on them because they’re moths with a few fancy iap clothings i slapped on them
aka i cant be deprived of access to valley elder hair for more than five seconds or i go bonkers

[true ibex]

My sincerest condolences to those that knew the staff member who now has a memorial in a harbor within a dreamlike desert

[vagrant fable]

Welp, guess you gotta finish valley con in your alt then ( )

[quiet obsidian]

how many hearts does valley const cost total

[vagrant fable]

125 iirc

[quiet obsidian]

watch me speedrun 100% completing it

[vagrant fable]

Btw chook when you return to beta, wanna be friends?

[quiet obsidian]

also my alt doesn’t have the silly singular marshmallow stick that was available before the marshmallow rack was a thing

[vagrant fable]

I keep forgetting the stick is not supposed to look like that

[quiet obsidian]

marshmallow magic wand my beloved

this is what i get for speedrolling the game huh i was simply Too Powerful and the servers decided to throw me out

[kindred fossil]

Rolled beyond time and space, you simultaneously exist and ceased to exist

[ashen tusk]

beta took away your rolling license

[vagrant fable]

Schrodinger's Chook

[quiet obsidian]

what can i say when you roll faster than the speed of light you’re constantly living in darkness

[kindred fossil]

Your rent is due the 25th

[peak mason]

who knew the quantum dimension still has rent

[orchid frigate]

Hear me out if we get more 80s hairstyles we could get an 80s season

[kindred fossil]

It's only a bits of your soul, good deal

[peak mason]

what if you don't have one is seaglass from the sea of stars ok

[left quest]

Free Chook from server errors jail he did nothing wrong!!!!!!!

I will not STAND for Chook beta slander!!!!!!!!!!! (insert my one temper tantrum emote I can’t use in this chat)

[kindred fossil]

Yeah bro

[peak mason]

aight thanks

[kindred fossil]

As long it's shiny and twinkles bright like a distant fading star

[peak mason]

yeah I can get some like that

[languid sandal]

I really like the new side fade hair but I can't use it with my Forest Elder mask, they clip with eachother... I also wanted to use the spiky valley elder hair but can't because that also clips with Forest Elder mask. Why must my favourite hairs clip with my favourite mask?

This is a sign that Elder masks are needed!

[sand garnet]

Aw, I hope Chook is able to get their main working again soon, what a weird bug. ^_^;;

[woeful obsidian]

#beta-announcements message

So, maybe the server limit would be change? No 8 players anymore. Maybe there will be more players on Server in future.

[mint zinc]

Wow dang wonder what are gonna be tested with the said large group play-test

[gilded parrot]

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

[mint zinc]

I love that idea

[daring sun]

Same, I just read that update as well,
I wonder if we are all going to do the quests together or if it's something else

[orchid frigate]

Oooo a play test? Sign me up!!

[drowsy fiber]

Oh I hope not, it already uses the Aurora many people mechanic, that's enough.

[languid sandal]

pls aknowleg me

[vagrant fable]

Go ask in the seasonal discussion channel, tako, it's a seasonal item and we were discussing hair there

[languid sandal]

I did earlier and I got ignored so I deleted it and posted it here and I got ignored!

[hybrid wedge]

Sometimes a channel might be slower. If that’s the case, then it’s just a matter of asking at a different time in the day when there are others able/willing to engage with the topic. At any rate, we ask that folks use the beta season channel for topics related to the new season

[wary star]

i think we need a beta questions channel, a lot of questions get ignored

i just find things myself atp because no one answers anything

[drowsy fiber]

Anything specific you'd want to know right now? Or just a general observation?

[wary star]

just a general observation- don't need anything right now!!

[daring sun]

A beta questions channel would be nice, tho I do think there is benefit to having ppl ask here since it sometimes leads into a beta conversation

And at the same time I feel ppl aren't obligated to answer everyone's questions in any channel, I have been noticing some burn out type responses from people when they answer questions, which is also understandable

I only say that because usually it is the same ppl answering all the questions , and ppl probably don't realize how often some questions are asked here

Only saying this with love tho pls always feel free to ask beta chat questions as like I said, sometimes it leads into a good beta discussion, which I love

[vernal turtle]

That's the thing, though: so many questions get asked here or in #beta-season-test-chat that just get ignored mostly cuz an update just dropped and chat is going crazy. Having a separate chat for questions would lessen that.

I should point out, also, that people like me who have no problem answering questions but rarely lurk in chats that are going crazy will mostly just pop in briefly and then immediately back out, further increasing the chances of questions getting ignored.

Just sayin', though, I think it'd be helpful

[daring sun]

Yeah, that's a good point, as long as ppl have patience and recognize that we will get to the questions when we can but may be indulging in the excitement of the beta chat discussions ATM

Having a questions chat would be beneficial so it gets addressed at some point tho, so I'm for that

[proper condor]

Anyone else not finding debris at vortex ?

[ashen tusk]

alternatively people could use the search function too, a lot of the time the questions have already been answered

[ashen tusk]

if you skipped the cutscene then it won't trigger, I think there's something in #known-issues about it but I haven't tried myself yet

[proper condor]

Ur awesome and thank you.

[left quest]

Bubba is, indeed, awesome.
This is a fact.

[vernal turtle]

Don't be so humble, Bubba

[vagrant fable]

I have no idea how to play a single song in instruments in sky
Bubba plays multiple songs
Therefore, bubba is awesome by my criteria

As well as everyone else who knows how to play music in sky, you guys rock

[ashen tusk]

You're all wonderful, I'm grateful to have met you guys and I enjoy testing with everyone

[full hearth]

the playtest is at 3am for me

[ashen tusk]

Let's suffer enjoy the chaos together! It's at 2am for me

[vernal turtle]

For me it went from 8pm to 7 cuz of DST lol

[left quest]

Its at 8 or 9 pm for me but I’ll be in another city so I can’t do it BAHAHA

[full hearth]

I have school that day I won't make it

[iron elbow]

the 5 am gang knows no fear and no sleep

[ashen tusk]

I thought the US were scrapping daylight savings?

[vernal turtle]

I thought so too, but Ig not

[glacial barn]

My province was supposed to be scraping daylight savings, but enough people didn't want change ^^;

[ashen tusk]

nobody told tgc

ohhh was it only implemented in some places?

[glacial barn]

At least in Canada. No idea the deal in the states

[left quest]

DST is on Sunday but not every US state follows it.

[vernal turtle]

cough cough the state I live in

[left quest]

They’re debating getting rid of it but I don’t know if it’s gone through or not.

[ashen tusk]

that's gotta be the most confusing thing, I already have such a bad time with figuring timezones out I'm glad discord supports the unix timestamps cause it's helped so much with keeping track of beta as well as organising events with friends

[glacial barn]

I was hoping my province would get rid of it (less stress in the spring), but alas - can't argue with the majority ^^;

[left quest]

It confuses me and I’ve lived here all my life 😭

[vernal turtle]

I'd be confused too, it's the one thing I actually like about my state Nobody saw me use the wrong "too"

[ashen tusk]

I fully vote that daylight savings only happens with the winter half so we just keep gaining an hour in bed every year, no more going forward only sleeping longer

[glacial barn]

It does help that phones and computers can automatically adjust for it now though - I still remember the panic of "did I move my clock forward/back?!?!"

[languid sandal]

But alarms don't

[umbral pagoda]

Can agree.

You are also awesome, Fenrir.

[vernal turtle]

Never had to do that in her life

You what-

[glacial barn]

The main reason my phone has all my alarms now ^^;

[ashen tusk]

ah yes back in the day we had to manually change our time

[left quest]

The last part is false information

[umbral pagoda]

It is the truth.

[vernal turtle]

Now Fenrir is being humble Accept the praise, peeps

[glacial barn]

The best parts of that time (jk)

1: My parents not realizing I already shifted the clocks and going to shift them an extra hour

2: computers gaining the ability to shift and me not realizing and shifting them an extra hour (bonus points when my parents would then shift them an extra hour)

[ashen tusk]

mine is the whole family spending the entire week leading up to the clocks going forward or back reminding each other to shift them on time only to all forget

[tropic orbit]

a lot of states were pushing to get rid of the time switch but none have implemented it yet afaik except for a few that have already changed more than a year ago

[spark lance]

What’s up with camera panning on home statue when we go to vault? So annoying 🤔

I never know about the time change until I wake up the next day at 5am instead of 6

[peak mason]

wait was tht yesterday?

[ashen tusk]

kinda hoping california keeps it cause it's always nice being able to keep my mind semi-wrapped around the time difference between tgc and I

[mighty sluice]

Is it legal to send a turnaround of the new cosmetics in beta screenshots

[tropic orbit]

i prefer having the time set backwards in the winter than the “loss of one hour” for spring
