and as you can tell by how the assembly spirits showed up in one big group, that's something TGC seems to be intending to test with the live community and not beta cuz those guys haven't shown up in the beta servers whatsoever
yeah i read it but my brain get it as live ts will come after 7 beta ts
and also as they stated in the blog post - live reflects the largest playerbase that would be directly impacted by TS system rehaul, not beta
so it makes more sense that live gets the changes first to see how it goes
the current season in testing or the one after that
because if it's after then we know zilch
tgc would never give beta testers the power of early ts cause we couldn't keep it hidden if we tried 
Emily said she helped design the ocean cape in gen 
If we got early TS I'd probably forget which spirit came before they come to live
peanut brain to the rescue 
THE TALENT, THE BEAUTY, THE FEESH
this in relation to Emily helping design ocean cape this year, not peanut brain tak 
I would either forget or I would sit in gen chat every second week with popcorn watching whilst everyone guessed from the hints
I mean I do sometimes do that anyways cause ts guessing is fun
Who is Emily?
a dev, i think
if you're on mobile, try swiping right
2D/UI artist
Oh, right. I thought it was someone we knew from here
i was also about to say mariko š
Seems rather obvious a TGC staff member would design their game 
What ts is coming in beta next
Sassy! #beta-discussion message
Sassy beta visit number 3826
i just want pleaful to come so i can get the silly guitar and cape and go flat broke 
i dont think i have actually done pleaful in beta yet
I'm excited for sassy coz hehe floppy ears mask
if anyone needs to have pleaful done but needs help or is lazy or anything feel free to dm i can heš
wait I thought cy was joking earlier when they said sassy was next ts I didn't realise it was sassy time already 
Itz weasel timeeee
on thursday
sassy jumpscare

ay come on its a no hearts ts 
Yeahhh I can keep slamming all my hearts towards gw con 
no hearts ts WOOOOO
<-- me throwing hearts at everyone
I don't joke when answering people I've never spoken with before cuz I don't want miscommunication 
cy a good egg, I'm just used to sassy being the funny answer for ts 
I try not to do TS jokes in general because it downplays other people's excitement for em sometimes 
btw i think sassy might like cosplayi-
what if the ts was us all along? we're always cosplaying- OFF TO GEN CHAT I GO 
999 candles for mask What..
Ik itās a placeholder but that definitely donāt wanna cross beta line
placeholder
Ultimate cape reminds me of Ryuk
What's that??
Which maskk!!....
wait, the cape with the red interior is new or they changed that black cape?
The fluffy cape looks amazing, but are there any seasonal hearts this season?
#beta-season-test-chat ⬠ļø
they changed the black cape
Maybe everyone's in the other channel right now 
But a heads up, we made some changes to hopefully make it easier to trigger the vortex quest, so please let us know how that works for you now! In the "general updates" category, there are also some changes to what players see when activating a Do Not Disturb spell.
Imma go test that out rn 
Yooo the mask are so cool
I like new sound for the creatures. More unique.
Sadly can't trigger the quest, guess because I've already done it today?
where is prarie village that #beta-announcements talks about
The area with the bells and mantas
Updoot
Ult cape looks epic
Masks look amazing
Love the cosmetics so far!
YOOO NEW CHONK SOUNDS
Just went to go do vortex quest and I love the cutscene changes! It's definitely a lot easier to figure out where to go and what to do now :]
I used 3 permanent resize spells but didn't work. They got consumed anyway
Can someone test one to know if it's happening bc of latest build or just my device? Please
Does the vortex teleport you a bit back still or it's possible to just land on debris without a cutscene? I just couldn't trigger it cause I've done it today so I'm interested 
Can someone please explain to me what's that 999 white candles item? And it is the bug or mistake with regards to the price of 999?
It's explained in #beta-announcements
Yes it did teleport me back
Yeah but i do not understand, is it gonna have a different price in the future?
I assume so
Okay thanks
I see, thanks Dark!
I'm glad the chonk has not faceplanted into the beach anymore
Man I crashed like 5 times in the last 5 min šš
OMGAH!! The Manatees are incredible!!! I love them!! I want their call, I want their mask, I want to be a light manatee!! The animation is soooo good.. must breathe 
Can I just say I think these mask designs are amazing, I love that thereās no present eyes, and it definitely gives a new unique mask design, and theyāre not just like every other mask we already have
Gotta agree about the call 
I think everyone redesigning the mask to just be reskinned Anubis mask is kinda unfortunate. The mask look great as they are imo, not every mask needs to look the same or just be a reskinned. The patterns on the mask are awesome too and can definitely be used to make some sick outfits
not to mention it would be so much cooler to have a glowy halo accessory thats not attached to a specific mask...
Unpopular opinion: Primitive masks are cool. Less is more.
they look cool!
perhaps Iād add some gold details but I guess thatās not happening as this season doesnāt even do gold for the pendant lol
The masks are very different to any other masks in game so far. Itās refreshing to be honest. They will most likely get polished but it would be a shame if they put too many elements on them, they might end up losing their strength.
People are free to like the masks and people are free to redesign them as they want. It's not a shame for anyone to want something to be different or to remain the same. It's just difference in tastes. Plenty of players have wanted an Anubis 2.0 for a bit, so it's understandable why people like me would see these animal masks and think it's a good opportunity.
Whatever they end up doing, I hope we get cool polish to the masks regardless.
Thereās also the inevitable āI didnāt like this at first, but now I doā stuff grows on us sometimes 
Honestly the lack of facial features is what kills it for me personally 
Like thatās my skykids face but it has no sense of⦠form or personalityā¦. And that works for some people just not for me
I hope they lean fully into the African mask aesthetic, I need to look like I'm either about to curse someone or going to a ritual
I really like the otherworldly vibe with the blue markings, and no visible eyes.
completely ignoring how offensive that was but yes i do like the more simple design (not nyx) š
i mean calling african culture an aesthetic and comparing it to rituals and curses but i think itās just me
I hope a little more detail is added.
Also should move to #beta-season-test-chat for seasonal mask discussion
I think some people donāt realize that mask, hair, clothes, and capes are all telling a story of the history and traditions of the ancestors of the world. They all look the way they do for a historical reason to showcase that seasonās spirits traditions. Theyāre not just supposed to be fancy clothing for you character. The seasons are still telling a story about the world after all.
Gratitude, Prophecy, Passage, and every other season are all different cultures and traditions from different ancestors. Each one is beautiful in its own right and because one doesnāt look like the others doesnāt make it lackluster.
True and based
this times a million yes
Fair. Also people can feel the masks need more or are lackluster. It's about personal tastes. You can have masks that tell a culture and traditions and they look different from what we have now or be more detailed.
People saying the masks are lackluster are fine. There have been many edits I've seen that keep with the more ancient look that also provide more details.
Like I love the hair and clothing in the season, but for me the masks could be better and feel more cohesive to the season itself for me.
Both what you said and what other people are saying can co-exist, is basically what I wanna emphasize with this lol. Not to mention the devs themselves said the cape and masks are WIP and the colors and such might changed.
Honestly my only issues really is I don't like the mint color and the ult doesn't feel like it's defined enough from the other masks. It doesn't have to be a deer/Anubis mask, that's just what I drew but I'm not saying it has to be that way. My only bare minimum gripe is with the mint color not feeling like it fits into the color scheme of the season or of stuff we have in sky in general.
Just for me being more cohesive would mean having the colors match more with the items in the season. The mint just throws me off.
Praying the mask donāt conform to sky social norms /hj
i think a lavender would be better than the mintā¦
I believe tgc said none of their cosmetics were based off cultures or practices
me too or like a gold š
a gold would be pretty
(but also this is season content weh)
i mean the colors are gold purple and red the mint seems pretty out of place
or maybe like a pastel pink? but not like a cold pink.. a warm pink⦠
Honestly that feels like it's just to cover bases. It feels like it's impossible to not look at some of these things and see that there have been influences with cultures irl.
Even if they'll forever remain unconfirmed to avoid arguing, it feels so apparent that there is cultural influences on stuff.
Theyāre not based off real life cultures. Sky has its own cultures
what if the mask had glowy bits but you can toggle them on/off
sky is the story of a civilization chat
true !
I mean sure but again sago did say that there was no connection after someone decided to compare the season to paeanistic rituals
That channel was hidden for me oops š
Vortex quest aināt much better if ya ask me. Still donāt say to talk to the fisherman. Now the cutscene is super long and not skippable (not great for replay) Iām sometimes out of flaps when I get there so canāt get I the boat. Picking up the garbage is still janky and difficult sometimes. Still donāt know why freeing the light seals is not part of the quest :/ AND I KNOW
but this is a discussion forum and I wanna discuss
Someone got freeze too when try forge candels?
I got myself confused by prairie villages
What we call that way?
I'm honestly not sure how to feel about the Nature event, it's not that interesting aside from the chonky creature and the IGC cape
Especially since (kinda like the geyser) it still pretty much a garbage heap after we ācleanā it
Well pollution ain't easy to clean, I assume it's here to stay as part of the daily rotation like the visit they geyser daily
It's still very much off
I like that the light creature is bright and shiny now like the other ones. It looks a bit weird flying and swimming.
At least this is all a ways off from live so they got plenty of time for refinement
Is anyone else having the app crash repeatedly? It is crashing every 1-3 minutes for me.
No crashes for me, I wonder if the guide's cape is just too much lol
It is crashing wherever I am, including at Home with no other active users on the server.

There's a #beta-known-issues about crashes
but if it's anything not listed there make sure to yeet a bug report in if you're able
Late ping 
another beta update ping? 
Nah i think discord is just being weird again
doot gone?? 
i got a ping for it earlier but just got another one, weird.
yes and no
there was but it was deleted almost immediately
discord is strange
That ping just now was a reminder of the event being tested in an hour from now.
did sagomay accidentally trigger automod or something? 
Sorry all, I accidentally deleted my own post when I only meant to edit it 
How do we know where the seasonal areas are, are there warps to them?
I hope you all have lots of fun with the group test š 
whats the group test for??
Are you the one who puts crabs in the game or am I just making assumptions you are the crab royalty? I found one where he should not have been at all.
yes ik but i wanted someone to reword it for me š
waiting
Did Casey escape again? I sat him down earlier to explain that he needs to take turns and let the others explore but he hasn't fully grasped that concept yet
crabs gonna crab
They basically want everyone to do the seasonal missions at specific times.
We want to get as many people as possible doing a season quest at once!
is there supposed to be a crab under where the ice skater is? Iāll transfer my screenshots from my switch to my phone and get the actual name of where it was. Am I allowed to ping you in another channel about it when I post the pics?
Can I still join in testing today? I can't seem to download the beta
Are you on Android, Elsa?
I really wish I could, but as beta is repeatedly crashing no matter where I am, I am giving up on that event.
have whoever owns the physical servers record the temperature when the stress test starts 
Yes
Have fun, everyone else! 
Hopefully the new build will become available for you soon!
Can I ping you with the lost crab pics in another channel? Itās from live
Thankfully the stress test this time doesn't happen at the same time I go for my cr in live so I'll actually be able to properly play for once 
It's fine to link to the post here, Trio!
I can not post pictures in this channel
There are crabs that are intentionally hidden OOB. They were put in places like underneath Village of Dreams, and the elevated clearing in Forest during the Season of Shattering,
Under the world? Iāll post in the beta screenshots of my lost crabby
Yes.
Ghost ping? Saw the ping but it was gone before I opened the channel 
Is somebody able to help me through the first quest? I have a horrible sense of direction and canāt find the item Iām supposed to find for the life of me, and I want to be there for the playtest
Help would be appreciated!
bruh i keep forgetting to do beta dailies
@kindred fossil WHAT is y'alle've (in beta screens)
Is it a typo for y'all've. Y'all and y'all're are in my daily vernacular so I have to know
I just decided to write y'all so horribly
Oh that's fair HAHA I was like WAIT is there a contraction for y'all better have??????? I needed to know bc I'm a š¤
a yeehaw?
wait that's cowboy emote, I forgot the word ššš
Yes bc we can't say our states I think. I'm a š¤ so I use y'all and all the y'all contractions irl bc it's just local speech here.
AHAH yes I'm a yeehaw 
A yaehaw
When we test the anniversary event in beta and it's a cowboy hat I'll be able to live my full yaehaw dreams
Hey. I don't understand. how to participate in the event I did the 1st and 2nd quests
am i the only one whose game keeps crashing when visiting granny? it just happened to me rn twice
Have we heard if the current state of the friend constellation is a bug, because I cannot see ANYTHING on it š
getting a lot of crashesin beta rn (iOS) 
crashing too š (android)
Bruh i keep crashing at Forest
same š©
havent crashed
keep rolling
how many people are crashing?
knock on wood 
anddd crash
Kept crashing
the crash got me too lmaoooo
I dont think the stress test on 2nd quest will be successful
Crashed twice at Dawn, once in Forest so far
Constant crash. Cant even start 2nd quest, crashed 4 times in a couple of minutes.
Crashed 3 times hahaha
I can't make it, it crashes in seconds
Works now
Crashes in seconds, too!
Yāallāve is a more southerners turn for āall of you haveā it was turned from āyou allāāhaveā to āyāallāāhaveā then was transformed into its final form āyāallāveā
I crashed 4 times in the forest brook area 2nd quest zone.
gonna have to call it.. so much crashing itās unplayable:(
Many are crashing trying to get to Q2
i saw ppl crash infr of me xD
crashing it is kind of the goal of this š
i got quest n crash
if itās the goal then itās a success lol
oh no i just remembered about server pressure test :__O
Same ;-;
i think the goal is supposed to be having as many people as servers and devices can handle, not making people crash
i was having fun in a different game to skip some time until the test starts and got too invested... that i forgot what i was waiting for hjahha
I wasnāt even with ghosts, or in a quest and I crashed again, goodness 
So far non stop crashing for the forest quest
It crashed if you're late?
it crashes people in general
I finished the quest but ended up crashing a minute later
sometimes it just decides to get really silly and kaboom you for no particular reason
Just nope, crash crash crash, got video of it.
Not true I attempted to join 5 min before start same thing as the way until now it's bugged
āPlease stick around the Forest quest for 7:30, then Prairie at 7:45!ā
By sagomay if you guys didnāt read it

We are trying lol It crashes on me seconds after I tp back to forest quest over and over again š
I was in for a second.. got crashed rn
rip.. timer for the :30 session just counted down and ā¦crash
Yep, on to the 3rd quest now š
I was honestly confused on what the first playtest was supposed to be
Nope canāt do 2nd quest lmao
I don't think i joined the first quest right, I was really confused on where everybody went and where I was supposed to playtest
Can somebody explain to me how these playtests are supposed to work? Not sure what I'm supposed to do to playtest them
Yes, but what are the seasonal spots? What are the mechanics of the playtest supposed to be?
Right now we are about to test third seasonal quest at Prairie Caves in 12 minutes or so~
3rd quest intently crashes you it seems
I went to the grassland three times, entered mission 3, and it crashed every time
Me too for quest 3. I can't do it. It would always crash
because I'm not sure I did it right ?? everybody disappeared and I did the "light the torches" in isle but I don't think that was right?
What did I do wrong?
I don't think I joined the 1st quest correctly and I don't know what happened or what I was supposed to do
i got into the 3rd quest but idk how long that will last
Welp, quests 2 and 3 are crashing on me.
Have fun!
What are the mechanics of the quests we are playtesting supposed to be? I'm really confused
How do you "know" that you got into the playtest

Same story, crash.
theyāre making sure that itās stable with multiple people on it, if they didnāt test this then the chance of it crashing in live would be pretty huge (at least i think)
LMAO
I deepcalled for one second and i crashed
i understand the concept of a playtest, I'm just not sure what we're playtesting š . Is it just the "collect the mask/do the task" thing? Sorry for saying a lot, I'm just kinda confused š
i crashed 
Joining the seasonal quest and participating is enough. Sadly most of us are crashing so it is likely that weāll have another play test soon, in a different build
Oh okay, I just wanted to make sure that I was doing it right, because I wasn't sure what was supposed to be happening because it seemed kinda empty š
Oh I know what that is. Dark spelled it different so I was confused. I'm a š¤ so I have to know what it is.
I thought it was just me who keeps on crashing.
We don't fulfill outfit requests in beta
Oh! That's okay, just curious 
Oof I was in the second quest but fell on that one parkour area and couldn't get back up and I like died š
Did 3rd quest after 2 crashes, was ok but there were very few of us (including ghosts).
Forgot because I have company over as usual on Tuesdays and only got to help with the third one, which didn't feel particularly crowded. ^_^;
Eh... Kinda confused about this 3rd quest
crashed at home 1x forest 4x praire 1x
yeah Forest crashed a ton for me too
No crashes here but one mask totally ignored me, didn't let me psychic emote at it and spun out of existence without losing any blue-ness even though I was close to it for long enough it should have changed. ^_^;
Crashed too many times to count
gonna go back to live now to finish cr and pray my headache goes away 
cant do the 3 quests too, i keep crashing
And crashed seconds after 𤣠I think Im done with beta for today š
i crashed with 30 seconds left on the timer.. noooo now it started over š± maybe this is the passage of beta dedication
I joined late in the party but did also crashed with 10-15 seconds on the timer
Where is it?
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 
ouch- 10 seconds hurts ā¤
so.... I like the upgraded trash in the days of nature seasonal event vortex.
Also can we give f's for the samsung galaxy s8+ users bec there phones froze crashed and almost broke (I'm a user so I experienced that :((( )
No crashes on 3rd quest on my Exynos mobile so far, but got first a group of 14 ppl. Retried and just got teamed up with another lone player (ghost form).
Couldn't get all the masks teamed with just a single player.
2 seconds for me
omgoodness š the patience of everyone here is amazing!
Yup. Comes with the position of being a beta tester
We have to expect these kinds of issues when beta testing something after all, that's what we're testing it for 
This is just a Tuesday in beta
No fr

Hello crashing folks, can someone remind me if the new call is season-related or a DoN thing that I somehow managed to miss?
There is a new call, right?
ā¦
Iām not imagining things, right?
there is no new call i think :O
Thereās no new call as of right now, from seasons or events. My only guess where you got this confused is the DoN creatureās cry?
Must be it then. That and, idk why, calls from some other players sound nothing like the ones available up till now (Journey included)
calls, emotes, and stances are never related to events, only seasons, however there are no new calls as of now
Much obliged everyone, thanks for the clarification
If someone has a "new call", it's probably illegitimate. Probably best to report.
Hahaha in tonightās playtest, there were a lot of āsomeonesā with different calls
Also journey call isnāt obtainable in beta 
The masks is so ugly no offense
they really are 
Its like in season of trial ,, i see no one wearing it
at least give constructive criticism instead of just downright insulting them if youre gonna be negative 
Its not insult snowflake its the truth i did not insult the designer
I personally love big masks so I often wear trial spider mask (we just never met ;))
And dont argu bout it its not worth it
nice, going straight to calling me names
its not necessarily the truth, its your opinion. i think the masks look great as is.
Feel free not to waste your candle on it my friend
because I love them. And I prefer big masks than having straight small faces or even donning chibi masks. Just not my preference
Oh u knew its my opinion why are u telling me im being nega and insulting
Unrelated but statements often cushioned with "no offense" are quite offensive, not talking about you in particular but generally it's a pretty lame excuse for insulting people 
It's a work-in-progress though
....because you were being a bit insulting by calling it ugly without giving any suggestions on how to improve it.
Ugh i hate kids nvm just keep talking
lmao what
Am I the only one who likes the new masks šš
i like them, i think theyre pretty unique! very different from the rest of the masks in sky, and i love that about them
By the way anyone mind testing lantern with me because I think the lantern UI is harder to use in current beta, compared to live.
I absolutely love the masks! Will work very hard to get them all! Itās not appropriate to say just because you hate something everyone else will hate it too and itās not worth it. Makes me and others who like them feel bad. Do better.
Yesss, it's a new and more simple design compared to the prophecy marks, and in a way it reminds me of the elders from the initial concept art
Did i say lets hate it? Okay saint ill give u likes
You mean the days of summer lights lantern?
Why are u being so aggro lol
You said to not argue about it because itās not worth it š¤·āāļø
In my opinion, instead of calling it ugly in the chat you could drop it in #beta-feedback 
I feel that's a much more civil way to go about it
hi guys! does anyone know how much the earrings and manta ocarina costs? (if theyre paid or nah also)
Just give the bear mask a chance (:T
Kids get triggered when i say my opinion every kids in this channel gosh
Please keep the chat respectful and don't be aggressive while giving opinion. Thank you 
yeah im just gonna ignore them now lmao proably contact the mods if it gets worse :p
It can change before the release in live. And at the moment itās hard to tell because the trees arenāt properly set up yet
much thanks
Maybe they get upset bc u call them snowflakes for just saying constructive criticism is better than unhelpfully just saying it's ugly my guy. They aren't wrong. Straight up calling the masks ugly isn't going to help make them better when you don't say why.
One after another š¤¦āāļø
That's incredible misuse of the word "trigger", triggering is a psychological term used to describe situations that initiate vivid flashbacks and intense emotional or physical reactions.
We are simply trying to correct blatant insukting and nudge you towards construction criticism, no one is mad here, only you 
To those vulnerable to flashing animated emoji: Did you know you can deactivate animated emoji? ("Discord App Settings" āļø ā "Accessibility" ā "Play animated emoji") Hopefully this can be a protective measure for you
Not my fault if ur not willing to actually make a helpful comment and be open to someone giving u advice.
Everyone here seems to be of the opinion that the way you put forth that you do not like the masks are wrong
There are better ways to voice your opinions
Most of Season of Dreams items arenāt what I like the first time we test it. Not up to my taste and I think the theme isnāt pretty, I didnāt like Abyss cosmetics either. I also never liked Rhythm pants because they have no character after their popularity. And itās okay not to like the entire seasonās collections, itās fine to not get them. Not okay to just say scrap off an entire work because itās ugly to our taste, it is rather judging. Perhaps we have better opinion/suggestion to make it better, I say go for it, maybe we can write some feedback.
For your education in how to be a civil and polite human: āI donāt like the masks at all, theyāre not my thing. Iām not gonna wear them like the season of Prophecy masksā NOT āthose masks are ugly, itās the truth, nobody gonna wear themā. If you donāt see the difference and entitlement, you wonāt get far in sky discord
stop feeding the fire guys, this person is clearly just being toxic. Don't waste your energy 
Guys. Ignore them, not worth your time. Report to the mods if it's getting out of hand
Im trying thanks
I have hope for them, maybe theyāre having a bad day
Yeah. The UI is above our screen. I mostly turn off the lantern by tapping the levels UI. And now the lanternās UI is there too, itās kinda hard to toggle on/off. š
Everyone has their own opinion and we will respect that.
True
Itās okay not to like something, itās not okay to impose your opinions on others. Itās all very subjective
Wait whatās a levels UI? Dm me you QR code plz
Personally, I think the masks have wonderful potential, they just need a bit of tweaking but overall the vibe is wonderful
everything is still WIPs though
Wait ur Charlotte lol
Ya and it's also nice to bear in mind people actually designed these masks and worked on them. It goes a long way just to be a little more empathetic and realize that constructive criticism of something is nicer than one persons unfiltered brutal honesty. People can dislike the masks. No one is saying anyone has to like them, it's just the delivery of those sentiments that was rude and unhelpful.
Tgc has to improve some items yes , but it is beta so they are not completely ready and there are already people opening discussions 
Itās the wings UI/emote menu button. Hi Sol
Youāre not online
Hold up ima restart
At the end of it all, everyone will love sky things 
@marble cipher Do keep in mind they are WIP (work in progress) especially in beta, everything is subject to change. Do share your thoughts in #beta-feedback . People have opinions and likes/dislikes. Let's move on from this
True
Done .. i just hate it when they make noise ugh annoying
How was the test yall? I unfortunately had to miss it
Absolute crash chaos 
Everthing is all Crashed Bandicoots
So I've heard 
After 15th crashes i gaveup
Crash after crash after crash after crash. I have never seen so many "[friend] is online!" Popups in one session till today 
That part was honestly quite humorous though 
I think they were looking at the servers/coding during that, so they can see what most affected it
U have no petience tgc said theyll fix it
Welp, we failed to test PASSAGE RUN and we got scolded by Mr. Grizz the Passage Guide
Ayo? The guide scolds?

Ya need WAFO Waffles? š§
Yeah
it was so funny how we kept thinking we were safe from crashes, only to crash not even 5 seconds later 
In the second quest cutscene, yes 
It's a joke!š
I wouldn't know
The amount of times I was about to tell someone I was probably going to crash, only to crash before I could say it 
I randomly forgot what WAFO means ....
Omg the guide gets upset if we fail? šš
Oh wait, I have another Splatoon jokes! Those abandoned objects will be the Golden Eggs!
Splatoon?
Nonono saki is just referencing salmon run, and how Mr. Grizz gets angry at us if we fail a shift
it's just a joke that the guide looks like Mr grizz with the bear mask
(idk how to explain, help)
Opffff šš
I love making reference jokes
Idk who mr Grizz is but you made perfect sense (idk what to call you š)
Pff
Ok back to BETA Topic:
How's the vortex cleanups?
Mr. Grizz is a character from Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, he's the owner of Grizzco! I suggest googling him if you're more interested since I don't wanna go too off topic 
You can just call me Tak btw!
Those vortex got a glowup tbh š
I do it once every update and then never again bc I really dislike struggling to pick up the garbage in the water.
Oh wait, I forgot to put this up, some Blue Capes like Passage Ult Cape and Nature cape become darkerš
Just in spirits, not us
The cutscenes are a lot more helpful now to figuring out what to do and where to go, although it is still a struggle to pick stuff up and I'm still sad that freeing the chonky frens doesn't count towards completion 
Yeah sad about that too
I'll give a good tip: Just swim near the collecting target and try to get it
Chonky frens flock underwater when you free them tho
Tapping to collect for auto collect is hard tho
I do swim near, but it's still a bit janky
it's probably because of the constant movement
Why do you like to add shoulder pads to capes
What if, swim backwards and not the spinning vortex
is there still a site to visit with the abyss spirit for DoN? does anyone know how thatād work for switch? š or would it just not work at all
Here's a joke again: Becoming Wasteland Elder's soldiers
I think they could slow down the vortex speed. All the floaty stuff gets in the way, and itās too fast
In Science: That's because it's a junk and can float and rotate
Propelled by the audacity
There's no beta testing for Switch. So we don't know
Ok, I gotta go charge my phone now and Im about to switch to PC for chat hehe. Adieu 
i gotta get up, bye
The ultimate gift cape is giving me so much lag lol
The new masks aren't good:(
They're still work-in-progress. But if you have concern and suggestions for the masks, you can always send some suggestions in #beta-feedback 
Did the light creature seal's mouth get more :3
hello everyoneeee
hows everyone doin
Tired
Itās 12:37 am and Iām very sleepy but too excited about beta updates 
i just got the ping for the playtest š
Anyone else crashing like a lot? I couldn't do grandma or geyser 
Bad sleep schedule š¤ (01:37 for me)
Meanwhile:
beta taking five years to update
Literally. Doesnt even say āwaitingā šš
LETT MEE GET MY SCCCCC š
Iām not getting my sc today am I š
Its literally a sliver in progress Iām gonna cry
Hey, has anyone encountered the issue of not being able to play Beta following the aurora concert testing? Seems like @merry island (sorry for the ping) has been having some issues and has been getting server errors anytime they attempt to play. They have been keeping up with the updates as well. We were hoping to hear some insight or direction of where they could go about this; they've said they made multiple bug reports already.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Have you tried un-installing and re-installing?
and for some reason I didn't think to ask that
Yes I have
Do you think it's an issue with the outfit you were wearing?
I've heard of someone being unable to log into the game because of a certain combination of cosmetics
What cosmetics?
I can't remember anymore, I'd have to go back through this channel to find it
If it's not a cosmetic bug, I don't know what the issue could be. It sounds like it's just straight-up corrupted on your end and would require personal interference by the devs
Would they be able to just use the regular support link for Beta issues?
I don't see why not 
Cause if so then thats my suggestion
But it looks like the other chat gave the suggestion I was about to: use a new email and just start over.
I guess that may also work, hoping they don't encounter the bug again
It sounds like it's an issue caused by the AURORA concert test, so I would hope it doesn't persist.
just like the moth I don't know where to go
Iirc you can report beta issues using the support link. They can try that too
did DoN end? i havent been able to keep up with anything oof š
nope
Iām trying to uninstall and reinstall it
aight nice!
I think chook was also having issues logging in their main too. Maybe it's all related
idk if they got back in or not though
Is there a way to tell if you've gotten kicked from testing?
It only happens on iOS, as far as I know
idk what message it gives you, though (android here)
Just checked this to confirm, you can report beta issues using the support link
Here is the massage from Sago regarding server error to only a few people:
Chook has not been able to access beta with his main, and is still unable to unfortunately so he uses an alt account atm
I don't think his main was banned or anything, since it's server errors, but I don't know the cause
I didn't think it was a ban, but it does suck a few people can't log in due to unknown server issues 
So does anyone else have the seasonal guide items for purchase for the amount of 999 candles??
Its a placeholder, they arent supposed to be purchased yet.
Ohh that makes more sense. I did not want to click purchase just in case it was a bug
Mine kept crashing while I was collecting sc
you have 999 candles? 
gosh that must be so heavy for your skid to carry around, I'd gladly take some off your hands, you know, to help, 
š sure Iād appreciate the help
A question:
Did the 2023 ocean cape has change in this update?
Sorry my connection was bad I was unable to relogin. But thank you for trying it.
Think I would put it on feed the bag 
hi is crow cape gonna stay 999 candles?
Does anyone else think that the season of Passage reminds them of the movie Brother Bear? š„¹
I love that movie so much, after I saw the grafitti on the staircase it does remind me of the movie somewhat (esp the bear mask)
OH WAIT is the third mask supposed to be a giraffe?? 
the price for the new equipment is soo much 999 candles??? But the good thing is that it is not the final price

Any 999 candle items in the passage guide's tree are placeholders, those prices will be changed later on
It'll be changed to $999
The cape I think is an ult
but ig we don't know yet fs
(responding to this) 
I didn't think that before- but now I do
Which one?
It's an ult
Nooo! Help me, the mods are- oh, never mind, crisis averted 
reminder that season chat goes in #beta-season-test-chat 
It crashed again, sad, I love playing games
Dude
Sky crashed along with my phone 
Yipeeeeee
does the last node of Remembrance guide unlocked in beta? if thats even allowed to ask
As a non-beta-player-beta-enthusiast I believe the answer was yes as remembrance has ended in beta
Oh yay! I just got the playtest reminder now. š©
It's my fault, since I should have realized that yesterday was the 14th and not today, but these discord pings are getting to be too much lol.
hi
What happened? I throw 2 Resize spell and nothing happened......
: 
That hurt cuz 2 spell got wasted
It has happened to others, it seems to be a bug
Nooo my resize spellll. . 
Please report it
love discord notifs showing up instantly for things i do not care about, but deciding to give me the notif for the big test the morning after 
I think that's a weird thing with discord, when I go on my pc I get discord notifications instantly, but my phone decides to give me notifs for pings i got hours ago 
Hi is feather cape gonna be season pass or free (I hope itās season pass)
It's an ult i believe
Its an ult gift right now.
#beta-season-test-chat is for talking about the season.
Mb I thought this was beta season chat 
heh.. found a bug, my character doesnāt want to eat or drink
"mother i wish to starve! mother!"
probably had to much WAFOās 
i've had the realisation that it's almost been a year (tomorrow) since i joined beta 
youāve just started! some of us have been here 3+ years 
Almost 5 now
I've been here for 10 years
peepaw spotted 
I meant to write 50 
I think nastymold has every single cosmetic available. she probably beats out everyone but the devs lol
Surely you meant 500
Well, she is their official streamer, basically
I'm a 1000 years old some being of darkness
that explains the strange name
||/lh||
Iām just a joke
You're cringe, but you're my friend
seeing "cringe" used in this family friendly no-bullying sky server really threw me for a loop for a second lol
@ionic yacht try lookin around the island where the guide is
Yesterday I witnessed someone calling another person a snowflake in the beta events chat. Unironically lmao.
yeah.. that was... a lot
its weird to me how heated ppl r getting over the masks
some people dont how to read
It just made me laugh bc never in a million years can I take anyone who uses that as an insult seriously. I also never expected to see it be used here as a genuine attempt at insulting someone.
Glad the mods stepped in it seems š¤
ikr? most people who are like that wouldnt even look twice at a game like sky, and that is a good and wonderful thing
Imagine throwing insults to someone over some pixels
Poor attempts at it but still
what.
I'm so sad, I'm crashing frequently when I play the game
I'm pretty sure they're fixing that right now! Sorry your game keeps crashing tho qvq
Got it, this is looking forward to it, thanks for the answer!

Oh I was just going to say my game freezed after burning plants in wasteland
it crashed now
I'm not even gonna lie when they said "snowflake" I instantly burst out laughing XD
Anyone else having trouble with the prairie cave quest? My game keeps crashing every time I start it
devs said there will be a fix for that!
has anyone seen the icon that shows over someone with a do not disturb spell? or what the new text says?
my friends arent online to test it with š„²
You have better luck discussing in #beta-season-test-chat since it's more relevant to there
Oop didn't see it cause i didn't have the role š
Ty cy
Weird it was the new channel list thing on discord that hid itš§
hey now that i think abt it have we had any qgs with the chubby spirit model? gratitude i think but is that it? wrong chat oopsie
Do you mean the model like Fire Prophet?
yeah
Gratitude doesnt have that model.
I dont think theres been any questgiver with the model...
I was going to say, it would actually be really cool to have a questgiver with that model because I donāt think theyāve ever had one with that model yet, it would be unique
Gratitude uses the same model as Sanctuary Guide / Boat Salesman
boat salesman?? talented builder?
this dude
They mean the Sleepy Traveling Merchant in Home
ah sleepy traveler
What if the model of the guide was an actual animal šļø
Like the mask is their face and the cape is their fur
"hi can I have the Ult"
"(Bear noises)"
(new call: rowr)
give us mr grizz qg
Also for reasons I cannot say in the server I can't take seriously the idea of bear Ult/questgiver
look up Pablo Escobear if you wish to know
Oo even better what if the animals associated woth each quests started wandering after each quest in the desert. With a spirit like body and mask for the face 
Anyone know how to get that performance season drum. Or how it was able to get in past?
It's no longer available, whoever has it got from when Harmony Hall was in testing during Performance beta
Oh. Strange, i was playing during test but didn't saw it
(Maybe I'm just blind and didn't visited normal shop at HH)
Anyway thanks
It was available only at HH
um
something strange just happened
I entered the treasure reef using the boat, like a normal person, and was instantly placed in front of the guide instead of, yk, the cave entrance 
they've been expecting you
the fish cages didn't work on me, so they had to get involved
aw, cant eat at grandma either
Oh you're right 
I was writing a bug report but it canceled out on me when I was writing additional info at the end because I didnāt react within 1 minute. Now, I donāt feel like redoing it.
so anyone figured out what angler is pointing at yet or
accidentally ended up in an active concert, and sat through the entire thing without a single crash 
we win! (were you the one with the rainbow trail?)
lol no, but someone in our row did use it
I was the only one without aurora wings on :D
You're a part of the Isle of Dawn where the light comes from the dark šÆļø
are the items in game all the items that will be available as ults or from the spirits or are we still missing some?
I think there are a couple that havenāt been added yet 
This season's capes also have shoulder pads...
I feel that there are many capes with shoulder pads these days.
Are shoulder pads popular overseas?Shoulder pads are often treated as a story frame in Japan š
We don't have defined shoulders in-game, so shoulder pads are usually welcome 
Is the don memorial in live?
I just wanna say ty beta chat for being a fun place to constantly feel engaged in. It makes my day to come in here and see chatter about a game I enjoy even if it sometimes gets heated 
Aw rae
youāre so sweet!
Thank you for always being so funny and so patient with everyone, it goes for everyone too! Youāre all so constantly kind and welcoming to any and everyone no matter what, with incredible voices and so much to offer itās a never ending festival! I wouldnāt have it any other way 
Please take care of yourselves 
Well that's super sweet aa I wasn't expecting
šyou take care of yourself too or I'll find u
and get ya you are too kind so I'm at a loss for words sorry HAHA
(Already sent in feedback)
It would be a nice addition to see the dolphins/manatees in the crevice in sanctuary. Maybe they can swim back to it after you collect the clam?
And also if they could be added to crystal bay as well. It would be nice to see them around more, maybe they could have a kidnapping ride effect like mantas too, so you can cruise around with them? I feel like it would be a nice touch

Yes we definitely need more creatures to kidnap us
but that could actually help guide new players to underwater areas they might have trouble finding otherwise
does anyone crash when they big honk near the group of plants + crabs in the beginning of wasteland?
happened twice, 1. I honked 2. someone else honked
also i was playing the ocarina (switch) and someone friended me then quit out of the game right after D:
Are you talking about the live game now?
Nvm, that was 2 hours ago
It'd be nice if there's a shapeshift spell that turns you into a butterfly or manta
Idk in recent update vertex quest is really get annoying sometime.. š sometime quest doesn't start...and have to again go home and start again?
Sooooo it really is impossible for Sassy Drifter to return in beta
Itās Pleaful Parent right away lmaoooo
Were you looking forward to Sassy too? š„²
Yes, to complete my signature look in beta š
i was so confused why is it pleaful šš
Itās my face in live too. Itās ok, we can cry about it as we go hug a krill šš¤£
Is sassy not coming?
Why is sassy not here 
sassy isnāt there?? šnooo my candles
It was the only thing I was waiting for
so does this mean the next ts will be the one after pleaful or will it be a pleaful repeat in two weeks
sassy once again proving they are an icon and the force to be reckoned with š āØ
them breaking the natural order of things just to prove how much we actually want to see them? slay.
Where is the beta spirit? I don't remember and I haven't gotten all the spirits yet
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!
Skybot... š¤

You mean the Traveling Spirit that arrived today in beta?
It's Pleaful Parent. You can find him in Golden Wasteland, second zone called Graveyard (the one with huge bones).
Passing first krill and after shipwreck pipe entrance.. to the right.. campfire! You'll find him there.
It's one of the hardest spirits tho
Thank you, I couldn't remember if it was in Forest or gw, haven't gotten all spirits in beta yet since there's so many
sassy is on vacation
they were running late, so they decided to just not gonna go
queer rep is off the walls today
I'M GETTING MY EMO EARLY
RIP I was counting on Sassy 
Does anyone else wish (if they ever tried) rolling down the slopes like Valley sands/races does not slow down? Because I want to be a boulder come on, donāt tell me you havenāt tried rolling down the Valley in groups 
@snow steppe Replying from your reply in the screenshot channel ... I use the translated version only in beta to see the quality of translation and giving feedbacks about it later (which is why I only noticed the spirit translation by now, not when the spirit is in live
). Highly recommended if English is your second language (like me).
(I mostly find fun chaos)
Haha so true
Has anyone been able to complete the Pleaful Parent?
(I'm asking the people that have not relived the memory until now)
you can actually not slow down, just don't touch your screen 
Here's the reason: Krillophobias
I'm asking because of the crashing.
why TS is Pleaful Parent?

sassy is busy playing with the passage kiddos
Sometimes Sassy's just watching in the distance while Troupe Greeter was sitting on a campsite.
||Or maybe Sassy is sipping tea||

CRASH!!!
As a good beta tester you know what to do, report it as a bug 
š¤š„²
where.is.sassy. 
Honestly with how they ruined their stance i don't blame them š
I'm still bitter about what was done to the cape positioning with the sassy stance
true...it looks really weird and that's the only reason i dont use the sassy stance
Oh dear me, I didn't realised that Sassy got bugged
Anyways, maybe Plead came because he wants to challenge all BETA Testers to relive him while doing rolling emote
||Before Sassy came back from their vacation maybe Ktjn will fetch them||
I was waiting for ts since i heard ppl say there was going to be sassy
I really want their mask 
||chook, if you see this. It'll be your new rolling challenge
||
It used to be my main stance until they changed it back in 2021 . :,)
No Sassy? :megamind:
Sassy didn't come cause beta didn't get a new platform
Sassy
come back pls 
no sassy? š¤Ø
noooo someone already made that joke 
What if because of Passage Season test? 
im smarter im faster im stronger /jjjjj
I hope Sassy shows up at some point though cause I need my weasel mask. 
maybe if we all slay hard enough, they will come back
I was hoping it was sassy cuz I wanted to test the mask with my current fit
man 
getting nine inch nails š
weasel mask is one of my favourites noooo 
Sassy was sacrificed to make way for the group TS
gonna be real ive never seen ppl be this upset over NOT getting sassy 
how many times has sassy not shown up in beta though
Sassy hard-coded to only show up with a new platform launch
Sorry beta
the passage kids buried them in the sand
the game keeps crashing??-
woe
crash be upon ye
i just wanna relive the spirit 
i <3 krill repellent spells, such a smooth run for pleaful 
The bug when you teleport to the Nature Guide is making me laugh now. Running around with your arms stuck to your body is pretty funny.
was anyone else experiencing weird sc wax amount...
i only got 3.5 sc from valley and in vault, some sc bunches were giving me like 1/4 of the candle meter
then at gw, before getting to the last candle at the entrance to the krills, i only had 1/3 of the candle meter with wax but the last sc bunch made it full and gave me a whole candle 
Yeah the lag is making the SC go all weird and give incorrect amounts, I got a whole sc from a single bunch a couple times 
oh thank god
i almost rage quit at valley when i went back and the sc had no wax floating
also i cant relieve pleaful with all the crashes 
The lag right now is just. Atrocious XD
ive been trying to force a crash in a specific area, but my game refuses to crash 
update: successful 
I did pleaful solo without losing a single WL oh my god 
Do we have a price for the days of nature conch shell yet in beta?
We don't get iap prices in beta
Do we know that it's an iap?
because the only way it was obtainable was through the ingame shop menu
Oooo oki
I just wanted to know if I should be candle running like a crazy person right now lol
if it's on the DoN guide in home then it would be igc
i was able to relive pleading solo with just 60 wls. i feel so lucky right now cuz for some reason the krills like spotted me then ignored me twice 
i ended up having a case of flashing krill light while reliving the spirit 
I'm so glad I got help reliving pleaful back in December, now I don't have to worry about reliving him right now
I gotta do Pleaful⦠
(I say as if I donāt do Pleaful every few days.)
āļø I can't escape krill damage using game panel to imitate ios control menu
But rarely it can save me, idk how it works
Hello, does anyone know of a reliable page or app where they let you know that sky beta is available? I have discord notifications on but for some reason I never receive them
You haven't gotten any because there hasn't been any invites for a while
laggy candles! \o/
U did it, but anyway i have not enough for ascending
i have wifi issues so ive spent 10 minutes trying to send a bug report only for it to be canceled because I didnāt reply in 1 minute 
if you're writing a bunch of stuff, write it in a notepad first and then paste it into the report form
no itās my wifi delaying the messages
its like the brief greyed out text you see when you send a message in discord
I get that sometimes, that must be frustrating
maybe just wait until you're in a place with better signal :/
i managed to send the report though 
Hahaha, it crashed three seconds after logging in to the game
game is very crashy/laggy today yes
I was like hey parent came as ts its a sign i should relive it
Crashes 10 times in a row trying to get close to it
Pleaful came at the worst time with how bad the crashing is
my game crashed after I did the relive thank god 
I attempted to do pleaful a few hours ago but crashed 3 times trying to get there. Took it as a sign to close the game and think about it about for awhile š¤Ŗ
Maybe that's why Sassy ain't TS. They knew wat was coming 
Didn't matter if their relive is easier they didn't wanna deal with the crashes
I'm just glad I did it months ago after I got into beta 
i might go get krilled for fun
gotta face ur fears 
oh boy i sure do love going through my 12th crash (I've been legitimately counting) while trying to help someone with the pleading spirit!!
/sarc
almost every time i burn the plants near the crabs in wasteland, i crash
I enjoy Pleaful, but going near other players just makes me crash, so I will not š«”
ok im gonna run wasteland
if i get krilled i will laugh
im also gonna count if i crash
i crashed for running???
yeah no running on the premises sorry
Rolling only 
I've had it happen in prairie and forest, so no
third time!!
i give up
This is acc. For pt off it fast
where is your preferred location to sit around with the seashell?
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!
Ty skybot
, i actually have not found my favorite spot to chill with the seashell, i need to spend more time in beta with it and look everywhere for the perfect spot as per skybots rec
also, what happens if a bunch of people put them down togehter
just so yall know how bad it gets
just crashed for like 10+ times in a row trying to join dei in the temple section of the graveyard, each session lasting about 20 seconds max
Doot
This build includes testing for:
- Updates for some seasonal items
- WIP Tweaks for Days of Nature
- Other bug fixes and improvements

SEASHELL MAKES OCEAN SOUNDS NOW 
gah wrong channel oops
Wait so with the new pull up emote are they trying to say that sky kids can create solid stationary light that you can grab on to�!
Askin the real questions
btw, aurora concert is still active 
broo i hate the days of nature quest- i feel so bad for the oceans and ocean animals 
I'm sad that I can't buy the shell 
We're aware the concert is active! We turned it back on earlier to make some aspects of testing the group seasonal quests go more smoothly 
WOOOOO concert time baby!!!
The guide is so cute omg š
i want to be a beta tester but i dont know how to download it could someone help me? 
Beta is currently closed, for now read the faq in order to be prepared for a future invite wave
does it sends a link in invite wave?
You only need the invite ping role however, I recommend removing the updates role
send to you personally, no. but a link is provided in the invites channel when an invite wave is taking place.
Tip: if you keep crashing , don't use return shrine or if you use it, switch areas (go somewhere to get an area transition). It did the trick for me
do invite waves for beta happen randomly? idk if this is the right area to ask it but
ohh alright
They do (not scheduled or connected to season or event)
okay! thx
being able to move while forging a candle is literally a game changerrrrr. I'm so hyped for this specifically
@old rover making magic once again! 
WHAT
FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN FORGING CANDLES BETWEEN ZONES I NO LONGER HAVE TO
but heres the question. can the normal candle icon STOP SENDING ME TO THE SHOP when i want to look at quests
super amazing, right? It's in the general sections of the update notes. i tested it immediatelyyy.
honestly, what a life saver!
it's gonna be weird getting used to forging whenever. I also forge only during zone changes lolol
I hope the DND spells having a reduced price doesn't mean we really won't get a setting for dnd. Though it feels unfortunately like we will have to just buy the spells 
me irl
The day when we can see quests without hitting forge when tho (don't need to answer just speaking in jest XD)
fun fact someone basically put a comment in the code
// TODO: let players move slowly while forging candles instead of stopping them completely
in 2017
Controller supremacy (jk)
Though, it would be nice if D-pad worked on mobile with controller so we can also view quests without forging candles due to using the touchscreen ^^;
Does that mean ash's wish of waist props will come in another 3-5 years stay tuned
I would like to off-ping shoutout to Ktjn:
Have you fetch Sassy Drifter from their vacation yet? For BETA TS 
The sea shell supposed to what? Make water noises? Too much other water everywhere and other background noise seems to drown it out
I wonder if the code behind the settings menu has any notes about adding accessibility features hiding in it. ^_^;;
Adjust your sound settings to mute bg music and you'll hear it
Or, IIRC, try it in different places 
If it is, it's been hidden from civilization for who knows how long
FUN FACT: Just like Little Prince's Rose prop 
shell is quite good in the hot spring, just sayin
2017??? oof⦠Does not give me the warm and fuzzys for any of the other annoying features getting fixed in my Sky lifetime.
today is a significant day for me to learn that Sky's source code also has a "TODO:" syntax
(and I wonder how many TODO:'s you would find if you searched for it)
The update doesn't say anything about the Assembly Troop 
:/ not great. I donāt wanna have to change my setting to make some prop work the way itās supposed to
All maintainable code has todos in, its the ones without todos I get worried about
Go check the TODO on making doors work when you light them
hmm i want to ask wes a question but i dont know if devs accept questiojs
// TODO: I don't know how this works, but I tried changing it once and brought the server down, fix this
The surest way that code is going to stay untouched in production
when you actually do the request, do you change it to TADA 
I mean, it's frustrating yeah, but we have no idea the complexity of some of those annoying bugs needing fixing
I don't think they are deliberately not fixing things as fast as we want them 
You can always ask your question, without pinging, someone else may answer too
Been seeing a sideways blue-ish cape with transparency & bits of solid color. Is it from Season of Passage, or from a different event?
It's from day of nature
Oh, thank you!! I assume itāll cost real money?
Edit: omg thatās amazing

Krill repellant spell did t work ššš
Various spells are bugged
Like all of them?
No idea, didn't sit down to try every possible spell ever
I trekked across the sandy shores of Isle of Dawnāexhausted and severely parchedāto Sassy's doorstep. Words and gestures were exchanged. I am reasonably certain we came to an understanding of sorts and they'll arrive on time. 
Peace restored
How to terrify a dev 101: doors 
Oh dear, I should deliver you 2 WAFO Energy Waffles with Days of Bloom Energy Drink to restore your energy.
This does give me cause to share one of my favorite dev blog pieces of all time: https://lizengland.com/blog/2014/04/the-door-problem/
That's a lot of door criteria 
Question how does one get the beta updates role?
head over to #beta-faq and give it a thorough read and follow its instructions
Ty!
After skimming through this, doors scare me too now 
Ohh found it thanks a bunch
the QA Tester bit made me giggle 
The best part of it XD
ok so i have a few ideas that would be fun and ones related to this season
lemme put the seasoj related one first. so the roll lv3/4 cemote is fun and all BUTl it can be improved a lot heres how
-do not attempt to play the sliding animation while using roll lv3/4. reason? this makes you visually inside the ground
-try to play the emote as much as possible until physically impossible (e.g. player flaps). this includes not putting the player into glide mode when falling. reason? breaks rolling immersion and broken rolling immersion is not fun
-let player pick up speed down hills, and play the animation faster as you go faster. reason? to roll down hills funny, also to do the valley race
-this ones kinda stupid but if a friends holding your hand they should directly follow behind you like a train. this one doesn't have a reason itd just be funny
also if a spirits holding your hand and you roll its very scary they rotate very fast
the first 3 can go in #beta-season-test-chat
but all of that should go in #beta-feedback
yes i know feedback im putting it here for everyone's input
im gonnafix it and put it in feedback
OH NO I PUT IT IN THE WRONG CHAT
Well we can move the Convo over to the right chat still 
Me: "General Changes
š¹Avatar no longer prevented from moving while forging Candles or Hearts"
Me: "Best update so far"
Friend: "Eh?"
Friend: "OOOOOO"
Friend: "OMG WAIT THAT'S AMAZING"
Good job TGC, very cool
I never thought the day would come we could forge a candle and just.. walk around, fly in any direction⦠itās magical
Yeah itās so simple and yet one of the most goat updates
We are living in the future soon enough
now we just need the best doot of them all⦠ultimates returning 
Wes spends months of his life working on core gameplay optimizations
Skycord: 
Wes spends 20 minutes making it so you can forge candles while jogging
Skycord: 
One simple change can make everyone explode
The magic of QoL
{
Dont();
}```
now make it so you can check daily quests without forging candles and the game will be perfect. you guys donāt even need to update it anymore itās just a perfect game ā¼ļø
this is honestly the best coding meme ive ever seen
i wonder if a dev red my live and beta feedback yet
did i honestly just misspell "read"
i'm actually ashamed of myself im going
And move the active spell icon to not directly above the chat button
Iāve accidentally cancelled so many spells because of that 
Citing my sources 
the "They used coding and algorithms so drones didn't crash into eachother" is also pretty funny
I am sorry to report we dont have any methods called Dont() in the Sky codebase š
Thatās my fav coding meme itās genius š¤£š¤£š¤£
oh man
I used coding and algorithms to allow you to move while forging candles š§
C++ coring?
If(skykidabouttobonkintoawall)
{ donāt(); }
propel away from the wall
dae remember when bonking a wall hard enough made you lose winglight... 
maybe I should turn that back on for fun... maybe for April Fools'? š
wes do you know whatd happen if you made the skychild model jiggly like the prophecy halo
or maybe like hair
the krill cat boutta become a banned weapon of war
Re-enable losing your emotes after doing Eden
yes I do know what would happen. I'd scream
Do you have the krill cat yeeter prop Aes? š¤ @old rover
in order to make cosmetics have more value to players, you will now lose them at random when taking damage past extinguished flame. We hope this encourages cooperation among players to collectively agree to never enter gw or eden again
Me too
it'd be kinda like that one frame in the
emote where your skychilds neck is extended really far
we... actually experimented with that at one point
there is an alternate reality in which it made it into Live during Shattering... 
Man where was it that every time I entered guaranteed a light KO š part of me saying it was entering the valley races and youād slam into the gates
honestly id like a hardmode where thats a thing
me watching my
get reduced to atoms because a random crab hit me from offscreen
(ping off) This sounds like chaos and part of me is sad we didn't get it
Oops! Wall
Wait what. So I crash into a tree and Iāll lose my fav flight pants or tlp scarf š what if you lose IAPs lol anyway to get them back? Eden trip?
Hope people didnāt lose any ults š
Other players can pick up dropped cosmetics, boom ult trading has been figured out 
IIRC it was that your clothes could get ruined by damage and you'd have to go back to the closet to re-requip it. It wasn't pure permanent-loss evil, but it still felt bad, so we didn't go forward with it š
deer mask destroyed by going afk in forest
I havenāt forgotten that time yāall experimented with the old rhythm shop booth with the deer mask ult in exchange for candles 
Oh that was during internal testing. I donāt remember testing that in beta, only the soul crushing crawling
OHH so not lose lose. I actually think thatās b kinda fun tho. Like you get slammed into dark water by krill and then your tlp scarf looks all gross and muddy lol
Remember when dismiss cape got muddied? No-one liked that at all
Dark awake at 5 am like
need a sky laundromat. Which spirit would own it?
*pristine sword pants get muddied after a persnickety crab decides it wants a hug
Those were completely separate systems
the old Rhythm booth was a mockup for the boat spell shop iirc
dreams guide and her child

Is the child the skater girl?
yeah
It's 4 PM
Did you move to Hawaii
I never went anywhere
it is 11pm for me I should probably be asleep 
Maybe pleaful parent since he probs cares ab dirty clothes and doesnāt want kids wearing them
I know dark guys this is secret code for " I went to Hawaii"
Now you make me want a house chores season 
9pm for me, not sleeping until 2am prolly ^^;
What are you doing up past your bedtime young man š¹
Scaredy cadet cuz he hates water lol
Itās 8pm I havenāt eaten since 12pm bc Iāve been busy drawing sky OCs
Weāre gonna see a future TS hint thatās like
This weeks TS ||would own a laundromat||
dreams guide rn:
Go eat dinner smh š¤ŗ
I woke up in a new bugatti
i donāt need sleep I need to cr šŖ
Get well soon
where do they post the new invite waves again?
Itās 4 pm in New Zealand right now 
any rhythm spirit⦠they seem tidy 
grinding for t2 capes (mentally unwell)
In #beta-signup-info you won't see it unless you have acquired the beta invite ping role from #beta-faq
ty!
Read #beta-faq and grab the invites role, the invites are posted in the invites channel which you will see after getting the role
I just got the assembly spirits return event(?) but I canāt teleport from the guide in the home space to the rest of them-
Is this intentional or o(-(
They likely forgot to give it teleport. You gotta go there yourself
This is beta, is chaos (aka, likely bug)
Thought so- are they in the final area after the temple? I checked around the grandparents dinner table and the season assembly tree house but came up spirit-less
Yes, after the temple
I like how the ball emote level one is like offering to play
i heard transfem season guide and came running as fast as i could
does anyone else's beta game just, crashes and closes after 5 minutes in game
š
Is the giant whale at sanctuary island gone for anyone else as well? I was there with my friend and they could see it but no matter how long I waited there the whale wouldnāt show up

have you finished the final seasonal quests for Sanctuary?
Hi did they change the dark blue cape
If you're talking about the Passage ult, probably better to ask in the other chat but we don't know. It presumably will be changed, but it was removed from this build 
The dark blue cape from Days of Nature hasn't changed to my knowledge either
we can finally move while forging candles
best new feature in this update in my humble opinion
I honestly never thought I'd see the day
such a random but great optimization really
On candle runs I used to always hit the candle icon to collect them just before hitting an area transition so I didn't have to sit in place, and I'll probably continue the habit
but it's still great
Oh I should have tried the forge and moving when I got the last sc before reset. I'll try it after I finish my Cr in live
They gonna fix Resize spell bug , im Happy 
Wait I just realized something. I got taller in beta. I used a Perma resize yesterday but there was a known issue about it so I thought I wasted it. But it did affect me when I logged in today and just noticed it now 
I was wondering why my walk felt different today š
Yeah this is a fairly reoccurring bug, this is at least the 3rd time Iāve witnessed it appear in beta again, normally you just need to relog into sky for the resize to appear after using it
Well I didn't relog after I thought the spell became a fail and didn't reopen the game until I updated. And even then I didn't notice the size change just the walk feeling off š
How are yaāll feeling about the new ultimate cape colors? 
it's a placeholder? the black cape
All the wip items.. banished to the void...
It will be my head Canon that the passage guide is trans fem, and no one can change my mind
They will be the sky trans fem icon
Tomo-chan is a Girl moment
So we had butch muscle girl spirit, now we have trans fem guide
Whats up with the guides hands 
Fingers didn't transition right š
The amount of serotonin as i forge my candles while flying is

Our CR speed has increased because of the new feature 
Read #beta-known-issues and #beta-announcements : it's in development phase 
Am I the only one who waits to forge a big pile of candles when I get to the end if I can?
Nay
But this a great change in case you either forgot dailies or forged on accident
Some players wouldn't forge for days, weeks, months
Oh that might be it. I havenāt bother with old quests on beta
is anyone elseās quests locked?
Nay, did you try claiming them again
Mine were, they unlocked after I updated
think might have some issue with the network... my quest is locked as well.. collected sc and wax also doesn't increase the gauge let me try updating if it works
it works after updating =/
None is final yet
btw, they made it available in beta The Group of Visiting Spirits from the season of assembly š same with live only 2days left š
I just used two permanent resize spells and they didn't do anything i-
checks known issues AUGGGHH
You can log out and back in. It may look it did not work but from experience it did take affect. You just won't know wat until u log back in
hello, my sky beta is not entering. I've tried everything and it's still on the loading screen, I'm an android player. Does anyone know what happened or how to fix it?
Ack, stuck in Eden because someone won't finish and is just standing there
Love when that happens /s
Do anyone know how to change email in sky beta??? I can't unlink my email
@ripe aurora i think you need to add another method to your account before you can unlink it ?
I can't add another method too, i can't login to my facebook account,it saids "app can't be accessed right now and the app developer is aware of this issue. You will be able to login when the app is reactivated"
FB login was disabled years ago, do you have another login method?
Sadly no š
I mean itās always easy to just make a Nintendo or Sony account. The game consoles arenāt needed to link one. But idk ur circumstances so
Anyone else think the days of nature cape would be more appealing if it was symmetrical and covered both shoulders? I don't like the asymmetrical capes much at all and I rarely see people wearing them in game. I like the colour and the fishy vortex design thing but I wish it was more wavy and symmetrical. Like rather than an oval shape off to the side make it be like up and down waves for the bottom of the cape.
Honestly this is one of the few asymmetrical capes that I really do like, I think the DoN cape is fine as is
it's a good mussel clam shape
The rolling emote works while flying heheheheheheheehehe
TestFlight retruned my sky beta
That reminds me, I have a video to make
Soooo⦠#beta-screenshots-videos
I made a thing in the #beta-screenshots-videos channel of my thoughts...
hey, so I don't know if this is the right section to ask this, but how often do the beta invites get sent out? Or does it depend on something?
Depends on when tgc need more active testers so it's really random for us on our end, you can get the ping in #beta-faq if you haven't already
sounds good :)
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question. But wine is the new season do to be released to none beta players?
Hmmm think atleast 2 weeks after the season ends?? Atleast that wat I noticed but idk for sure
Itās normally 2-3 weeks after the season ends in live.
Thank you all of you.
I am being wrongfully mjakson-ed in beta scs 
i can do it like m-Jackson
prove it
(leans forward with immaculate ab strength)
this is an issue for live too
they should let us unlink the last method with verification
I tried everything, make Nintendo account, sony account, i can't just deleted my account,but i can't seem to unlink even tho i Did every tutorial
should be possible to unlink email if youāve linked at least one other method.
then you can just dump it by linking it to a throwaway email acc and unlink any other methods.
Iāve had to do this once with a switch acc that was accidentally created before I linked my acc to my switch profile.
Going back to Live and being unable to forge while moving 
It didn't work, i already link 2 account, i can only unlink Nintendo and sony
Isn't it impossible to unlink Gmail? Like, for security reasons and stuff?
I think the best thing would be contacting in game support for assistance 
If you created your sky account with email then you can't unlink it.
Hi! How do i do the rid of the great vortex quest? Thank u
if you teleport to sanc through the nature guide you'll be plonked on turtle island, go to the left of the guide until you see a washed up trapped chonky friend, burn the darkness to free them and click ! button
it'll trigger the vortex stuff about following them over etc. then you fly over with them, go over to anxious angler in the boat and it should trigger the collection part of the quest, then you just clear up the trash until the meter fills up
if there's any confusion or deviation/bugs then make sure to report them! Best of luck 
This new vortex cutscene is so long I could do a 20 cr by the time it finishes
Where is go to the #beta-invits??
Reminder that if you are struggling to find something, please remember to submit it in #beta-feedback after asking here, as that feedback is very valuable for TGC and can help many players in Live!
Make sure to check #beta-announcements and #beta-known-issues as well 
Thanks!!!
hii, live player here with a question: i just saw a video where someone said the next ts is pleaful parent, which ik we got recently. can anyone here confirm/deny?
Hello? Is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes
Pleaful is the current ts in beta.
ooh okay, does that mean it'll be a ts soon in live as well?
No, our schedule is behind live.
oh i thought it was the other way around- ty tho, i appreciate it :)
it's never been the other way round
TS schedule differences:
Live is present, and BETA was Time-travelled to past
hi 
i was thinking of getting
because it would fit my current oufit but completing valley seems like a pain
just asking for advice if i should
The way i almost got krilled in live coz i was too used to being abe to forge while moving in beta sdjkgjsl
chase your valley hair dreams!!!
it might be difficult tho like really 
I only have 59 hearts, but I have a friend that gives me daily hearts
I just need a lot of ac now 
Wow, my first time in this community
Seeing people with so many hearts, meanwhile I'm at 45 and struggling to get more 
Bruh I have like 1 heart in beta rn 
I have 3 in beta, but I also have no friends so I've just given up on being able to buy heart items lmao
Oh, don't worry. I went back down to 32 
Our hearts were reset to 50 during the Shattering currency wipe and it has been that way for me since, rarely 'farming'
dude i did miss stuff when i was gone 
so thats why I had 50 hearts when I came back!
now if only I had 50 more hearts in live so I can complete vault 
I sent you one!!!
I don't remember how many I had but it wasn't 50... 
1 heart richer... the pinnacle of friendship
Is that intended to filter automatically turn on when u wear glasses mask?
tbh having all base constellations finished in live makes my desire for stuff in beta so much lower which is refreshing tbh
but also the š¤ struggle having just the bare minimum for TS haha
Yes but it isn't supposed to turn on auto each transition after you turn it off iirc
im currently drawing my beta and live skids
it's hard
That heart is the one I currently have still XD 
I focus on live collectibles so beta just gets whatever
I'm hoping to slowly save up to get bald though, so I can see masks easier
In live,I have 92% iirc in valley
And in beta like... 40-50%?
I'm trying to get 
I mostly focus on live but I wanted to get a few beta constellations done to test their hairs with beta cosmetics before I eventually get their hairs in live
gw is my next stop, it's at 80% :3c after I finish gw I'm done with the base cons I wanna get in beta so yahoo 
I do focus in live but I have a lot more candles and hearts in beta so 
does anyone know how we can replay the quests from the season
meditate at the start circles then interact with the masks
do you know where i can find the circles 
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 
I thought you have to interact with the mask first to get the circle to appear
also this is more for #beta-season-test-chat than here
Yup
honestly all I know is you gotta med and interact in some order, my brain has blocked it away after the playtest I think
You have to light the masks and then the meditation circle will appear 
that doesn't answer the initial question of asking where they are.
quest 3: prairie caves middle sand bank
quest 2: to the left when entering forest brook (area before sunny clearing/belonging table)
thanks yall!! :D
Oh, sorry.
~~oops i pinged
~~
Has anyone tried to do the last Abyss quest recently? I had difficulty getting it to complete. Went back to the ship holding the cannoneer's hand and I'm standing there with them while the guide is staring right at us telling me he's missing š
I eventually took him back to see what happened if I redid the quest with the cannoneer and when I started to dive it completed and he was suddenly sleeping in his boat. Then I was able to turn it in.
@waxen surge, 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. 
Where can you get the teleport to forest elder spell?
I don't think that spell is available anymore
They're Skyshop pin spells from 2020, we tested a couple of waves briefly
i wish we got to test the krill spell 
We did when it first was a thing.
Do you mean the WL eject spell? We never tested that one, we never tested any other Skyshop waves after the first couple few
I have never been able to successfully bind a STAR pin to my beta account. I have no idea why.
what's up Beta chat?
We used to be able to but afterwards it's no longer possible in case you bind it to your live account first
Or it no longer outright binds with beta, something like that
things are harsh
ill prob stop logging in for awhile in both beta and live
thereās a spider on the wall above my bed and itās causing me immense stress
other than that iām fine and about to log into beta to mess around with quest 3 
This was great because it gave me SO many free chibi spells 
And I used up all mine šš
Also the office cape spells
Iām really sad the soulmates spell doesnāt work though š„² the one pin I want so desperately
I want to get resize spells till I can be basically chibi without any mask
