next you'll tell me I should be writing my feedback in a separate document before posting it in the feedback channel and hitting send so the filter doesn't eat it up and I don't have to re-type it 💀
what are you doing making essays 
if that happens, you can write a request in #contact-the-mods and we can retrieve it. but yes, best to avoid it
You can copy/paste your old responses from the dm from skybot if you have to start over.
tbh it is also better to type in the essays on desktop because when the filter eats it you can just ctrl-z and it makes all that reappear so you can drag it out
i missed another wave🥹
you'll have your chance again in the future
Sago keeping us on our toes.
it normally takes 4-5gbs, did you clear out google play's cache and reboot your phone :Oc
i missed the last 3
not to be dramatic but omg skybot you're learning!!! to be more helpful!!! (which will also be a curse later but omg)
Yeah Pengu helped me not that long ago for that, it wasn't skycord filters though it was discord that ate my message 
Which is also a good note for new testers: if you write a lot of feedback make sure to split it into parts or discord will eat it and mods won't be able to grab it for you 😭
does sky beta have dailies?
I'm so sorry for you

i havent relived some of these spirits in years 💀
Can live users play with beta users together? I don't know if it's the right question to ask here
If I find a bug do I just report it in beta android if I'm on android.
you use separate account for each
Akshulllly, instead of writing essays of feedback, it's much better to keep things as short and to the point as you can.
Repost of my favorite article on that topic: https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/7/21122308/gaming-feedback-complaints-positive-compliments-balance-bugs-how-to-be-heard
it's not cross platform (in that sense)
you can play with other testers in live with your live accounts but you can't have a live and beta account play together
OH OKAY, sorry! Ty for the answer:D
personally I just bullet point my bits and send it in 
sometimes I forget if I sent something already I'll send it again anyway
I know how easy it is to fall into a text wall (😅), but keep in mind that we get a lot of feedback posts, and the more text there is, the higher the chance that we don't understand the point you most wanted to convey
now I feel less bad about the short and blunt feedbacks I’ve sent in the past
me when tearful light miner wont let me relive its memories: 
It doesn't need to be an A+ persuasive essay--even just a simple list of bullet points can be really, really helpful
I'll try
Now I feel more bad about all my massive feedback textwalls
we're not being graded on our feedback here either 
Sorry for text walling sometimes, brain just has lots of thinks being thunk 
@prime acorn on beta Android I think
what do you meaaan I cant use beta feedback to jumpstart my career as a fanfiction writer? 🙄
i accidentally used a resize spell and now im small and i cant fix it
is it bugxbug or 10 page novel on passage guide's transition we may never see
it's a choose your own adventure feedback essay
No need to feel bad about it! Just something to keep in mind for next time
and all endings lead to #beta-faq
You'll be surprised to hear this, I'm sure, but—I have a habit of writing long posts too. So it's always good practice to try to pare things down.
It's a useful communication skill when the internet has a weird way of making all posts 73% harder for everyone to read 
well also add in people's first language isn't english so gotta make it extra clear
especially when tone is lost
she wafo on my doot till i uhhhhh i cant continue this joke
the size of my font makes everyone's posts look really long to me if I'm being honest, but I can't seeeee otherwise
yeah sometimes it's hard to find the right words
I waited so long for it to download, just for the download to fail once it reached 100% and now I have to start over 
I'm going to sleep see y'all later 
hi skybot!
Hello, I have a small problem, I accessed the beta quota but it does not let me download the version in the play store
Thanks i have installed it

I have installed and cleared isle of dawn. Will continue later today after work
is it possible to add someone as a friend before running through all the realms? 
thank you 
HOW DO YOU RELIVE THE CRYING SPIRIT THIS IS SO ANNOYING HOW DO I GET TO IT BEHIND THE WALL
maybe you'll need to wait some time(?)
I'm not quite sure, but if you got in beta, you should be able to download it eventually
that's the fun part, you don't
the spirit is bugged for everyone, I think
so no one can cry huh GRAHHH
I have a bad habit of over explaining things, so this is something i do have to work on 
It's okay during the aurora beta invite wave all the spirits in coliseum were inaccessible and the dailies had the gall to have bow to a friend as one of them 
I'll wait a bit and then I'll try again to download it, thanks
Downloaded!Welcome to the beta version🥳
👺
wait till new season drops
it better be pastel or else 👺
A bird is born!🥰Enjoy the world of beta!thank you!
umm anyone else also having trouble reliving the crying spirit in hidden forest? 
New to beta testing here😀
GRAHHH DONT MENTION THAT SPIRIT IT MAKES ME MAD 👺👺👺 that i cant be sad

"it's okay, you can cry"
absolutely in shambles i miss the full coliseum
i hope that can be fixed soon
i wanna go to grandmas
me too, Season of Aurora will forever be in my heart
so how do yall cry in beta then?

When is the new season?
!omgomgwhenbeta
it is unknown, we will know in an update
Beta testers don't know when things will happen in Beta
Any Beta announcements will be made in #beta-announcements!
No one has answered if I messed up by just downloading the beta,
probably
I can delete if I need to let someone else in that did the process right. I do not mind
what was your question again?
i love you skybot
i mean probably not devastatingly bad messed up, just go through the link and make a "new" account
I didn't follow the link in server i just downloaded the beta
well actually, if you can just play it then i dont see why not
If you didn’t go through the link and still got in beta then you’re fine. You didn’t mess up. That’s just how google play works
If there’s spots open then you can download without going through the link which is what happened in your situation
task failed successfully 
Ah I see
Though am I supposed to have test flight as well? Cause I don't have that.
Android doesn’t use TestFlight
Oh!
Testflight is only for iOS!
That makes sense.
Same here
New beta tester here.
Question, since beta and live Sky are pretty much different, is it okay if I just login with the same Gmail that I've been using?
does beta have shattering events? :0
How are some people getting past items? I'm a beta moth and it feels so weird going back to being a moff 
Is android still open? They sent a new link a while ago
Android invites are closed
I woke up 10 minutes after beta invites opened I feel so lucky 
Aiya, that sucks
Same, it opened right as I got out of school 
It was like 1:30 am for me : D
I'm really glad more people could get into beta, I remember seeing so many disappointed people yesterday and now everyones got in it seems! 
Like new players getting past items? That may not be legitimate.
Anyone else has problems with crying emote spirit?
Question, I joined the android beta now and if I am to join the next ios one, would I be able to sync my progress if I put in the same email as the first one?
Wait guys I was a beta tester and now I'm apparently not? Did I get removed?
It's bugged, and can't be collected right now
Thanks
If youre inactive, you get removed
that only applies for ios, android won't get kicked
Only if you were on ios. Android doesn't remove inactive testers.
Anyone else crashing a ton?
Well idk how I'm no longer a tester because I run android
Are you using the same Google account that you used before?
Some people said they are. Make sure to bug report it 
Oh, weird. I'm not sure what the issue is then. I myself am new to beta as well, so I think it's best to ask someone else. Hope you'll be able to download it soon. Maybe make some storage free as well.
Please check #beta-known-issues and if you don't see your specific issue then go to #beta-bugs-android and report it. 
I think? Let me check
You can try clearing your cache and restart your device.
I guess I was removed for some unknown reason
I think it's bugged. I tried the testing link on my browser and it says I'm indeed a beta tester. Weird
Just sent my first bug report
You can try clearing your cache from the play store app or you might need to just wait longer.
They grow up so fast 
Beta moths give Sagomay more data to comb through.
Fr
Also, loving the new Days of Color/Rainbow outfits
When there's a new build I can't even finish a single realm cr because I encounter so many bugs.
Are the beta invitations for Android over?
Lemmie delete my first report real quick. /j
I haven’t been able to get through majority of the realms cause of the amount of crashes I get 
Woops, just noticed I should post this in feedback. Sorry!
Seems like big things will be happening soon
new testers, multiple ts, sky pc
Devs are cooking a good season to test I just know it 
They always go big when it's a new platform
That means you're a good 🐛 hunter. #beta-bugs-android
Funny enough I’m IOS 
It's OK to chat about how you feel about cosmetics here too. But don't forget to send feedback!
Got it, thanks for your help.
Why do I get a candle when I get a spirit? Is this only available in the beta version?
What do you mean 
This goes for all new testers, but please don't feel like you have to report every bug you see! Since this is in the later stage of 0.21.5 testing, it's really likely that that bug has already been reported or is otherwise on QA's radar. Please don't spend all your testing energy at once 
When you relive a spirit for the first time, you get some candle wax— this happens in Live too!
That is, when I get a new action, I will get a candle.
you're doing great skybot 
I'm pretty sure that's also the case in the live version.
Let the bot tell people to read the FAQ now 
🐛 everywhere. I'm excited for the next major build to see what I can break.
Days of color is a wash for me. I'm saving my energy for Days of Music which is the best event of the year. 
Is it normal that in the sky beta I started like I didn't have any progress in my sky acc?
You get to experience mothdom all over again! 
although it takes a long while to get everything 
I’m so excited to save my live candles for the days of color stuff that’s coming back. Not the stuff for tickets. Also I’m excited for the days of music as I love playing music in sky
I just want that saxophone 
I've been a tester for a year and a half and I never completed my constellations. I just play through new content and contribute what I can. Hearts are a struggle for me fr
I want the violin so bad. IT SOUNDS SO NICEEE

Constellations in beta is useless.
Honestly I’m just glad my favourite performance mask of all time was on the QG tree I got it immediately upon getting into beta 
My beta strat is just get the stuff I genuinely want to see combos with in live 
Time to make my first bug report
We all just want that free IAP so that we feel better ourselves because we too broke to buy IAP when it hits to live server
So I registered to be a beta tester on android… i went to the store and bought an android tablet and when I returned home it says I can’t install now… is this common? I check FAQ and I see it is, but wondering if anyone has a similar experience and it worked out??? Or did I just buy a tablet for ….. no reason lol
Don't count on free iap. You could end up with a null item and never get it.
Firstly, was it compatible? Try to find Live version of Sky and Install it. If it fails, tell me what's tablet you using?
i want to be more invested in beta but i realize i have to cr in beta and in live as well 
well grab the null item anyway because it's important for reports
It's possible but, just don't buy it when it was null.
Hi fish, ya it is! Fully has play store and when i get to the beta app, i just.. don’t have the option to install ://
live should have higher priority
don't bother doing CR in beta, SCR is way better once all the candles convert since you can get 25 SC daily and it only takes 30 minutes to run
If you have the message you're a tester then you're in. Sometimes the store is slow to update. Make sure you're using the same account.
I’m far too lazy to actually play through the game in beta, just got myself over to having access to Eden & just sitting at 50 wl 
That’s encouraging!!! I most def got the success, you’re a tester message so hopefully things come together 🥹
When I first got beta but I had to wait until tomorrow and using some tricks to make beta actually works
I think I had to wait until the following day to download the app when I first joined.
Aww ok guys thank you for sharing your experience!
I’ve been playing sky for years and have always wanted to join beta , i was feeling really discouraged
Why can’t I actually be on when they invite
Ask Google for buggy beta program.
Now I can’t get the beta code because I was a day late and I was waiting since the last one!
This is good advice. Just focus on new content and don't try to cr live and beta because it gets not fun especially when you're mostly running solo in beta. It's tough because you'll be broke until the end of the next season but that's expected. You can always look at #beta-screenshots-videos and give feedback on cosmetics. The new ticket system will help as well.
I was also waiting for Invites so I can help my friend to join the beta. But I still slow one step.
I wish they gave out more frequent invites
On that note, the first heart cost item you should get is Chibi mask because beta is truly pure solo mode at times
Just why don't give people that doesn't resides US a chance lmao.
Oo very true haha beta is lonely
But anyway, if there's a CBT for PC, I gonna get it, no mater what.
I realized that I should buy chibi mask today after I waited for a sadly long time at the two player door in prairie to grab WL and then the realization that there’s significantly less players occurred to me
Ima wait another 6 months
If TGC does read this channel, I hope they give beta players more flexibility by having a CrashDump that can be seen using WinDBG to find bugs that crashes the game.
While TGC devs are here often, this channel is largely for testers (and non-testers) to chat about Beta so if you have any feedback to share you can send a message in #beta-feedback 
Just keep in mind they have the beta program for their specific needs, which you can read about in #beta-faq. We are not QA testers nor is Beta available for all to join unfortunately. Those closer to their working hours timezone are just gonna have an easier time catching their active hours 
Asia Player's Pain. It's possible to catch beta invites if it was 1 hours late on Asia when that invite comes and you need to go to work or school. That's the chance
I'm also an asian timezone player and I got in just fine but I digress
Hello! I wanted to know why i cant get the violin yes (im New on beta)
It says that i need to came back when i progress more
Happened to me too, someone in this chat said it was because days of music testing hasn’t arrived yet. If you look at #beta-announcements it says DoM will come from May 22 - June 4
literally over half of beta players r chinese tho
,, like usually an in an 8 ppl server at least 5 is asian
So i wont get it since the days of music come back?

Yes I’m assuming that’s what they mean
are crashs normal?
Not normal, but expected in Beta. They get reported to TGC automatically but if you notice something makes the game crash consistently (aka you can repeat specific steps to trigger it every time), it might be worth reporting!
Omg the event is so cute
Being able to help moths with various things in beta is honestly such a refresher and has motivated me to start playing a little more frequently again 
are you really programmed to respond to every what where when why how or was that a joke 
So, The bots is a mod, or an AI
its called bot for a reason
no, that's the next event that will be tested after days of colour is over in beta
so you can get it then
Ohh thanks!!
Also, why i cant see the candles store? Is It Just to buy items from events?
If any new testers have questions feel free to ping me.
Candles packs aren't available in beta
there are IAP bundled with candles you can get though, so there's that
You can get the office cape that comes with a pack though.
Whoa excited for the next season? Will we get an updoot on Monday or sooner? 🧇
probably after all the events end (color, music, anniversary)
I don't think we will be getting any updates (aside from maybe a bug fix, if we are lucky) soon, since passage JUST ended
You can get the orange cape bundle, the rainbow flower hair accessory bundle, and the 2 office bundles
Get your free candols now you'll need them later
I wanna be rich in beta 
Did season of passage end in beta?
I'm not even done getting all the normal spirits or doing eden and I'm already tired
Metoo
Same! 
so real. When I first got in beta I spent the whole day going through the realms and it was exhausting
Do be sure to take breaks
And I can't even cry about it thanks to a certain bug
a lot of people here only collect spirits if it's a daily, just grab your essentials and chill 
when is next season gonna come is there a date yet
I did all realms, collected all the wl I could get, and did Eden and did the whole thing over 😭 hope to never do that again
Do we have to go through Eden to do any of the beta stuff?
ive been to eden already on my beta moth~ but im built different (autistic about sky) 
This too, I haven’t gotten all the non main spirits even after all this time
Not really tbh, I haven't been to eden once since I've been playing beta
I'm just collecting the base spirits for the hearts so I can get chibi mask
Don't try to get everything done at once. Focus on new content when it releases. Don't try to play your beta character like you do your live.
The only reason you'd "need" to go to Eden right now is to be able to see past season spirits, but that's obviously not required and is completely up to you
vale i just realized what ur icon is and i immediately chuckled 😭 if ur icon made noise it would be heavy breathing
Hello!
HAJSHSJDHF HELP. SO REAL. That was me seeing chimesmith again fr
Should’ve heard this before I did everything 😭
OK Thanks! You and @sage haven
For the seasonal spirits I'll just choose the ones I want based on emotes
tbh for seasonal spirits I don't bother unless it becomes a daily relive
Im new on the beta testing! Nice to meet you all!!
I gotta get my

only getting my fav seasonal spirits 
I do recommend yall speedrun getting the chibi mask and the stealthy stance, you wont survive otherwise
i dont like to cr/do dailies/etc without my gf on live so whenever im dying for sky i can just go on beta now
he has beta too buuut again im built different
Already on it
jaws i don't have chibi mask yet I'm still thriving in beta 😭 i think I'm built different
/they make pray the daily relive for SC/
Yeah, these two spirits are really the only ones you really need, because merges aren't very common tbh and it's helpful to just chibi through a 4p door 
The invisible cape that costs 999 is my life goal. I have 7 hearts right now.
hey beta chat i was wondering is it possible for players to legitimately have the new rainbow cape yet?
hoarding the chibi spells 🫶
I think so and there are spells.
so instead of buying the mask you're paying for subscription
getting hearts in beta is so hard jaws, i spent them on the manta plushie
We tested the event before and some players have leftover tickets
tbh even if you merge there's a 95% chance they'll ignore your pleas for help
Exactly why chibi is a necessity in beta 
especially for the second 4 player door
people will finish grabbing their SC and just home straight after no one is gonna wait for you
They should make Chibi Mask Free once you finished Eden
Or, Beta Exclusive Chibi Mask
How yall do the 8 player door if server merges aren't common?
if it isnt THE day of the new beta wave or the daily on the first day of the season, yall arent getting pray or leap
we dont
chibi mask is my next heart goal
i appreciate the advice yall, i feel like a moth again. except when i was an actual moth i didnt get any help… so not rlly
tbh what I do when I need the oreo zone WL is I use the DoL swingset, put it right next to the wall then clip out the wall as chibi height and fly up
or rocket 
Well I guess I'm gonna have to find a replacement for my oreo area candols
listen jaws it's solo mode out here 
i finished isle today 
ill be sure to rocket w my gf for that then 
Thanks!
It will be up to you also if you want to go to eden for extra acs ^^
btw yall really shouldn't sleep on shards either 👏
Eden is more like an optional thing for those of us who regularly use seasonal spirits emotes
When will the events start appearing? During certian dates or at certain game milestones?
@steel thicket, 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. 
Okok thanks Skybot!
current testing schedule is here: #beta-announcements message
i never sleep on shards (im trying 2 get the elder masks) so ill be sure to make sure i do them on beta too
i am not going to eden weekly on both accounts that is for sure

question, when can i see the days of color spirits in home. im a new player-
Honestly I do feel like a brand new player because in live I play on switch I'm literally relearning how to fly
i play on both ios and switch, but ios less so sooo. i understand 🤝
They should be there at home right now in beta. Are you asking about live?
nooo like when i started the game they arent there
me finally learning phone screen controls because I'm an ipad main 
the phone horizontal keyboard still kills me inside
get to at least valley and restart your game
The schedule for the current build is usually posted in #beta-announcements but we're in the dark otherwise. Right now we're testing 3 events this build.
Had the same issue, so thanks!
speaking of shards...
the next red one will be at the graveyard, this is like one of the easiest ones to do
you can do it 6 times in a row and finish the shattering quests in a snap 
Thanks to getting all the iaps that come with candols I officially already have enough for chibi mask now I just need to get ascended candols
why six times?
AAA how can I get a plush in Sky beta? I want to hug one 😭
because every time you redo the shard memory you get a new one, unlocking all the void memories of shattering
Has sky anniversary already happen in beta? Or not 
Rememberance guide sells them
yes and no
we've had a round of testing earlier but there's another one scheduled as per #beta-announcements coming up in like 2-3 weeks
Cool! I’m trying to get into office so I’m to do that through anniversary oh flip I’m sorry 😭
save your hearts and wait for the anniversary, there will be a free oreo plush
Read #beta-announcements. It’s a good practice for all beta testers
OOOo when??? NEVERMIND J FOUND IT 
I can help you get into office if you need?
ya'll the event testing schedule:
#beta-announcements message
backreading #beta-announcements as a new tester is very nice to keep up to date
It’s alright I don’t want to trouble! 
You wont be troubling me at all!! If you need to dm!
By the time all the events end there will only be 20 days of passage in live or something. Isn’t that a little short to start testing?
I had hoped they start the new season earlier in beta
When did they fix the rainbow ticket bug?
If I end up being impatient
I’ll ask you!! Thanks for the offer 
honestly a big majority of the time most of your questions about the update can be answered in #beta-announcements so reading is very cool, actually 
depends what you're referring to
- the bucket tickets are fixed
- daily bubbles still crash you
and uh, they fixed the bucket like one reset after it happened
I’m not one to read a lot which is not the best especially as a new beta tester 😭 sorry I’ll check there next time
there will also be a very brief and short description on each new build in the respective app stores when they go out, but discord is the most concise and detailed list of stuff that will ever exist
it also gives context behind update changes
question, and sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but my friend and I are new beta testers, do you need to complete vault to purchase the violin? It tells us to come back after we've made more progress and we're not sure what that means
it will be available when days of music arrives in scheduled testing, so next week monday
The Remembrance guide has a plush. And you'll get one during the anniversary event.
I can’t get to him 😭 I have no spirits from vault. I would get the ones on the bottom floor but there’s no one around
what is there to do for days of color? other than the things you have to buy
get the 👉👈 stance
We don't know! 🧇
if you progress there's the spirit on the third level?
there's also the ghost manta call you can summon if you completed manta call spirit from valley
OHH thank you!!
Thank you 😭
I didn’t ask when the new season in beta would begin. Just putting my thoughts out there
@kindred prawn, 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. 
any android users still unable to download beta, even after being accepted
I can give you an Oreo spell and help with vault if you give me a few minutes
Thank you

I meant it as tongue in cheek. Sorry if I came across as anything but excited to answer questions. 
whats oreo spell?
Oreo plushie 
Unfortunately tone doesn’t rlly transfer well thru text. I often don’t know when someone is joking or not unless they make it rlly obvious
fr its hard communicating well in text, you can't be sarcastic either hahhaa
Going to eden so I can get chibi mask. This is gonna be fun /s
wooowwww good luckk!
Me who hasnt even touched eden:
same!
A piece of advice: In beta be prepared to cultivate a reading habit because there will be instances where testers will have to read through really extensive patchnotes to figure out what is happening
-
Some of you who have been here for long enough probably know which Sago’s posts I’m referencing to…
I went through yesterday with 51 wings, been so long since I had such a ~time~
what should i try and break in the beta to find bugs
do you get kicked out of beta if you dont report bugs?
Is the ticket thingy fix?
no but it will def help the devs solve the issues found here so it won't come in live as much as possible
gotcha thanks
bucket tickets yes
crashing daily rainbow thing no
What that?
Just play as you normally would
You only get kick out from iOS TestFlight if you not active at beta. Meanwhile Android, you can't get kicked because beta policy
ohh i see thanks for telling me
i wanna break smthn
/jk
Anyone beta newbies wanna b daily light buddies in beta?
Are all ticket munchers placed everywhere?
i wanna cry
I missed the invite again
How many tickets can we get per day
currently for DoC, 8
would be another 4 but daily makes crash
Hi just a quick question- should all beta feedback be sent through discord or is there like an in-game form or something?
is the passage guide supposed to be at home? or is that just for the normal game
No, passage has ended in beta so they won't be in home anymore
I played as I normally would and literally became just legs 
i swear to elders im gonna stay awake till another invite (when Poland timezone is not cool)
First day in beta went well I'm gonna keep going tomorrow since I still have to do my dailies in live
Does anyone know when the days of music are coming? Asked in general chat but got flagged for spoiler 😭
We don't know when anything comes to live. You just have to watch #news Also it is a spoiler outside of beta, so it's best to keep anything not in live yet, in these chats here.
ya tbh I didn’t even know it was a spoiler… I thought it came around like every other “days of something” and I’ve asked plenty about those in general chat 🥲
Where is the days of color area, can we still access it if we just joined today?
Yup! You just need to talk to the two rainbow guides to get to it. I'd recommend standing close to them and waiting a minute. They have to do a few emotes, and then you can warp in
Tysm!!!
you do need to progress a fair bit before you can see em though
like get to valley
Is there a reason why my new beta buddies were able to light my candle in the constellation, but I’m not able to light theirs?
did you try zooming your camera out and trying again
sometimes it does a funky
Oh no not yet, I’ll try that out. Thank u!
Still won’t work, i really hope it’s not because I’m blocked
I was also unable to light friends' constellations when I started, I want to say it became functional around unlocking forest or valley?
Oooh, I’ll work on unlocking valley now, thank you!!
good luck! 
Hey guys! I been wondering about updates for IOS, when we get an update, do we have to go somewhere or do something specifically to download an update when available or does that download automatically?
I don’t want to accidentally miss an update and have the app deleted if it doesn’t get the updoot ( just got beta so I wanna ask this sooner rather than later just in case)
It might update automatically, but you can check TestFlight for any new beta updates !
Ah I haven’t thought about that, thanks 😅 I don’t wanna worry so much when I literally just got beta but at the same time I just don’t want to lose it 
Every update is a surprise on testflight - I have mine set to autoupdate but it likes to trick me and not update at times 😭
You won't miss an update though, we get pinged here after we get an update - sometimes it can take discord a day or so to actually ping us, but Sagomay always gives us patch notes
Testflight updates my sky beta only when it feels like it 
Last time it didn't autoupdate iirc, so the next update might 
Do you have to get updates by TestFlights automatically only or can you start the update if it does become late?
You can start the update when it arrives, it'll just have an update button in place of the open button
Also to add, the game will automatically tell you to update after a certain amount of time, so even if you are late, you'll still be forced to update before playing.
Ah that’s good, thanks guys! 
question, i did enter the link for the beta, and it said "you're a tester no2" or something like that but then i tried to download it and in google and it said it was full, then it said in the beta faq, if that happens we probably need to wait aroind 16-24 hours, but im already a tester and i just need to wait?? or i wasn't able to play then?
updates and reverts back because I was doing a thing before sky said nope
testflight screaming in the background:
I haven't actually done this, but the thought of upsetting testflight makes me happy 
Unfortunately google is extremely slow with this. You will just have to wait until it lets you in.
Oh so it means i was able to get in????
If you see "you are a tester" then you have gotten in. You just need to play the waiting game
Took about 20 hours for Google to allow me to download the beta. Takes time.
tysm, that's all i wanted to know
i'll then gladly wait for it!
It was so painful when I joined having to wait for the download
Gosh y'all got so lucky. Back when I joined in, it took me a couple weeks even 
Everyone was talking and asking questions here while I just...
Mine happened to download quickly too, I always miss the waves so it surprised me when I was able to download took me maybe 15-20 min?
oh i see, Tysm my friend 
On that note... Yesterday I had 4 tickets because of the bug and when I logged in I had 34. I can't pick up the rainbow ticket though. I know this is an issue. I just hope I can get the cape. 
It seems most of us won't be able to unfortunately 
oh man there do be a lot of yelling at google for android updates
30 minutes plus and one time it only let us in like 10 minutes before a scheduled playtest was gonna start 
Yeah I think we were all getting used to the ticket system.
I remember the time android didn't update for so long, it was almost a whole day
if only the crashing tickets actually worked 
But once every million years android gets the update before iOS
has only happened once in my time testing iirc, but ye 
just need to shake google play like a maraca enough times 
Or bite it's ankles! Always works for me 
Anyways, I'll be waiting by the office for some moths, and lurking here
cya guys 
maybe i should wander over to the office then 
Welp time to head there too
fellow moth coming through 
my moth self is still going to valley 
I can uber you both in if you want assistance
just shoot me a qr in dm
Ok! I want beta friends anyways too so thank you! ^_^
I seem to only merge with other ubers when camping office entrance, I've had to manually seek out moths to take into office 
dw, i will make myself look moth to be carried to office when i get to vault 
this is the first time i've needed to do it, but how do i get sky to let me capture video recordings? when i click the video button it says my account isnt able to? is that an app permission setting or an internal sky setting?
a fellow android? i cant do that too
wuh oh. i sure am. hope it isnt just an android compatibility issue :'3
Please do not use the ingame recorder on Android! 😭 It sucks, and it doesn't even function on Live either. Please use a thirdparty
good to know, thank you! do u have any recommended apps that you like to use? :0
I use my phone's included recorder! AHSJSH
So I actually can't give any suggestions
fun fact: I’m pretty sure it’s actually designed like that on purpose; non-founders/beta-cape wearers are iirc prevented from automatically server merging w/people who have the proper cape in the office opening area, this was done to prevent hitchhiking awhile ago I’m pretty sure 
wait, really...? even though the gate itself suggests you find someone else to pull you through if you dont have the cape? 
Yeah, I read it in a patch note for this game a good while ago so I assume that’s still how it works
I assume what it means by that is that you have to actually befriend somebody who just happens to have the cape, then ask if they can take you 😅
This is very interesting because as soon as Tak warped to us, we immediately got merged with other two office heroes there!
I mean, I read that in a patch note a good while ago so I assume it’s still true 😅
funny story though; I never had to get anybody to uber me to office to get the cape, because I was part of the wave that experienced the IAP glitch so I randomly got it automatically 
also, iOS moment (as a fellow iOS user
)
I'm Android LMAO
Samsung has a included functional recorder!
oh fr? you have the iOS role too so I was confused 🤔
Yes, I have iOS but I only really play on my Samsung xD
My iOS is a tablet, too big for me.. (and Android rules)
I use a controller for this reason xD
oh lol 😅
I just enjoy that iOS players get little headphones on their skykids when listening to music/other external audio while playing 
I want those headphones but I simply can't suffer thru my giant screen
(I also don't have anything to give me the headphones since, Android has my music)
I mean there’s always soundcloud or youtube or the like 
I use none of those for music 😭
I download music because I hate the ads, and I don't have money to buy premium adblockers basically
If i keep playing beta would I still get kicked out?
fair 
question though: with the samsung built in screenrecorder, are you able to record the game UI too or is all game UI hidden in the recording?
UI still shows, that's the annoying part.. 
no, not at all. You’re only kicked out:
- If you’re an iOS player (apparently)
- If you’re inactive (which is actually a really vague description bc nobody actually knows how long they consider “inactive” 😅)
both of those criteria have to be met for them to kick you out, but it seems like a pretty rare occurrence to me either way 
I’m so late, but ohhhhh new beta players
hi yall welcomeeee
me bein moff 

will we have those rainbow confetti emotes too? 
Oh i should get beta friends fvbkvfjb
the what now
that's from confetti cousin who hasn't visited in /checks notes/ two years
Wow they haven’t visited for that long already?? Time sure flies
i see, im still waiting for confetti cousin to go to live
so i never knew what lv2-4 emotes of it look like
the last time confetti cousin visited was January 21st, 2021
we are reaching 2.5 years folks will it be three years who knows
Does it matter if i applied for beta testing and it closed but i still dont have the app? Or i should apply and immediately go play in before it's closed?
It doesn’t, you can download it later
for ios you dont need to download it right away, just accept the beta testing
Youd think the headpat spirit would be the shy one, turns out it was confetti cousin all along-
You can download the beta app again as long as you have testflight app and accepted the invite
Hi im new beta too, and may question sky of music event already ended i cant get viola lmao 🤣
days** of music hasnt started yet, check #beta-announcements
may 22 it starts for beta
Okayy tysm 
Retesting to be exact, but same thing
oh ok ok
strongly recommend new testers to backread #beta-announcements it provides a lot of helpful context to current testing
Reading the updates channel is extremely helpful (and necessary) to stay up to date on what we are currently testing in beta 
oh fr? that’s what I like about iOS built in screenrecording tbh 😅
the screen recording function without ui is very different in both os, i dont think theyll change androids function at all
Hmmm I can't download beta sky
I lost the link to download the beta app what do i do?? I 100% signed up and it said that I am a tester but i didnt get to download it set cuz my new phone isnt compatible 
did you get into the invite wave?
@wise fractal clear your cache and data, also check #beta-faq
Nope
Is live sky also not compatible with your device or it works ?
then you cant download beta sky since its full
Search the app in play store, if it’s saying beta is full, wait patiently! Sometimes it takes hours to days before you can download
Couple more performance quests until that violin is mine...
performance quests have zero correlation with violin availability
you need to wait for days of music testing to roll back round
Oh well I'll do it anyway for the free hearts
Days of music testing comes back decently soon btw so it's not gonna be too long till you can actually get it!
and then begins the grind for the sax 
Yep
forever glad I got the hat while it was still cheap, now I can save up fully for the sax 
Beta moff’s first bug! :D
Where should i report a Android bug?
At the moment I have not found any bugs, however I have seen that the game is having performance problems It's also very shiny haha
esports android 😂
~~I'm busting out laughing I'm so sorry
~~
It was just a texture issue so nothing fun and engaging
It's fine cy me too. I ended up deleting because I gave up 
Now for beta moff’s first feedback >.>
Guess the beta moths finally found the small hole at Oreo place 
Just a tiny question (not really important enough for the question channel imo) but do we have enough time to grind tickets for the now DoC cape?
Okbacktolurkingigo
in my mind I was like
the live bug reports channel is esports android 
I actually try to search bug reports before I make one, but my keywords didn’t pull anything up
You dont have to search bug reports. Just submit any bug you found if you want to do it and have time
Most of bug that has been reported few times indicates the high severity of the bug.
Thanks!
I’m unsure whether to report the two rainbow guides missing cutscenes as bug tbh. It really BUGS me to see them appeared instantly instead of the usual running from the Eden gate side to start the Days of Color cutscenes
no that's actually intentional due to feedback
but if it was confusing to you, report in #beta-feedback
I search them up to reference them actually! But i do report bugs as i come across them (crud i forgot to report a switch bug OOP)
Anyone else getting issues with accepting QRs with links? Screenshotting & importing works, just when I tap on a link it sends me into the game and doesn’t bring up the friend menu
Ahhhhh i was wait why they’re not running from there? Why they’re just standing from the start. I think it just different emotional experience as we do experienced cutscenes from previous DoR
links are broken in beta, scan the qr code itself
That happens, Beta invites are finicky
Oh okay, thanks! I’m still new to this haha 
I mean SkyBot wasn't entirely wrong. It does state in the FAQ that invites are broken 
It replied at the wrong time, though
/lh
idk why but it's just so endearing to me that skybot's only answer is #beta-faq like
I just learned new words and I will use them! 
Weird to me that Skybot only just learned it and is overusing it
New favorite words
Hi, I don't know where to ask this but, is normal if sky crashes on my phone constantly?
skybot is like Groot, it's vocabulary consists of #beta and -faq, in that order specifically /ref

I have 20 gb of free space and the version is the most recent one, with 5 gb of ram
I was there when I suggested we could have a command to tell people to read the three channels above this one for information since people come in asking questions all the time
so this was the result in the end 
I guess Skybot's still learning then
A lot of people have been experiencing crashing currently. Just make sure to bug report your crashing issues!
Oh ok, thank you so much!!
hey can someone tell me since apparently new currency/tickets are resolved and they are visible i can’t find ballons, found some floating in the air or in dailies but game crashed..
#beta-known-issues for crashing
the one floating in the air has been there the past few builds it's just a mysterious blob
My first meeting with these cute rainbow spirit, was a bug? (I'm new so I don't know exactly what is a bug and what isn't 😅) I went to the spirits but I couldn't see the friend tree, they didn't even offer me a hug. 🥺 I try to go home and back. When I was back I could see the friend tree, but without the hug. Was that my first bug? 😅
i have read that but i can’t find them anywhere maybe 3 in total couple of friends and myself tried
hey older beta testers, is there any specific formatting for sending in feedback, like what to include?
well there is the very handy link sago sent in #beta-announcements that's a nice guideline for how to write it
otherwise include whatever you want
How far are travelling spirits delayed in beta? Cause I know they usually come a certain amount of time late
7 spirits I assume 
Delayed by 7 spirits, here's the current list (piggyback has left already!) #beta-discussion message
Thank you! I’m glad I’m not late for boogie 
My beta js cradhrf after just opening the app😭
Been quite a while since I was a moth. Well, time for a restart.
hello! can i ask how the ts system works in beta? is it the same as live?
yes, we're not testing any new TS system at the moment
Hello, does anyone know why my beta account cant link with my fb acc?
My goodness the new pride stuff looks great.
Iirc, FB linking is disabled for beta
beta cannot be linked to Facebook #beta-faq
i wonder if pc will get an exclusive package like switch and ps4 
that's not really beta related, though
they'll test it in beta though right? pretty sure they did that with the journey set at least
Is it bad that i got approx 400 candles from packs and spend more than half on color guide

no, Journey set was never tested in beta and there most likely will not be an open beta for Steam version
beta doesnt even have the journey pack offered for testing so it's only exclusive to Live players
you can get 400 candles from packs? 
i remember seeing an video of the early set i'm pretty sure before the release of sky itself, so it was probably scrapped in very early beta and brought back in live 
Oh, that Journey cape was an alpha thing never available in actual pre-release beta. Only a handful of players had it for a short time before it was removed
yeah i think that's where i got confused, mb
It is more like the real Journey outfit than the version we have now in Live
Yep, though the one added to live was probably the better option. the pre-alpha one definitely wouldve been super out of place
Haha, yeah, it changed the whole appearance of the Sky kid wearing it 
i must ask where you found a pack that gives 400 candles 
or well, multiple packs
Finally done with eden man
Multiple packs, not single pack lol
And i got few from relieving spirits!
Is the audio a bit teary?
My sound comes up very chopy and teary
It is fine from my end
i cant hear anything wrong with audio personally, it might be your device
does days of music offer any? i got about 180 from colour 
Idk about days of music since it’s not here rn but two office packs gives approx ~~ 250
ohhh forgot abt the office, thanks 
I had no expectations to once more be richer in beta than in live 
Damn prophecy spirits 
I’m not getting anything from prophecy spirits in beta, no thank you! I’m already broke in live, don’t need another broke account
was abt to get those spirits then remembered i havent got any ac compared to live 
i don't suppose shards are still halted are they?
The shards are on the same schedule as in live. They started up again awhile ago now.
alright, thanks! 
I just helped 2 people get into the office, maybe I'll find them here 
Sky's pc version's announcement is pretty hype but will there be a pc specific pack just like for ps?🤔
wow just wow, I got tallest in beta while in live I barely get the message of "you feel a little taller"
I will try it with live version and compare then. Thankchu @waxen sequoia @floral zenith

Who knows? And also what exclusive title will they even bring? Crysis?
Thank u for the waffle ❤️ 
Funny idea but maybe a steam punk set of items! Yk, since it'll be on steam lol!! 
I think something from Garry mod, Half Life, or Portal will come to Sky as special pack
Most probably portal
Yo imagine the portal gun being added and you can just hop from realm to realm in a snap of a finger 
Does anyone know how many event tickets you can get per day?
I just imagine nice portal like puzzles to give headache to skykids😁
And trapping them in an inifite loop
jkjk
Guys can someone check if I know it right?
• 4 bubble tickets in Oreo’s area
• 1 extra bubble completing the rainbow puzzle
• 1 extra bubble completing the rainbow daily quest (which cause crash tho)
So 6 bubble daily right? Am I missing one? Seems strange we can collect 9 tickets daily
What's #beta-discussion and #beta-season-test-chat difference?
The second is just for active season as the title said
So i can talk about season here as well?
Here yes since there is not active season for now
Oh ok cool cool. Thankchu mimi

Haven’t made it past prairies first cutscene due to crashes 
I have to complete from the start again😭
Am I the only beta Moth that isn't crashin'?
yeayyy u got into beta as well @sinful chasm !
Omg sharkie hellu
. Yes i got in beta hehe
I’m trying to get the guitar in harmony hall but i click the pack and nothing happens
I haven't had any crashes yet
It's possible that the influx of new testers means things are under stress right now; it might perform better overall in a few days when it calms down.
Of course, it never hurts to submit a bug report, just in case!
Wen 😭
Hi NyR!! We gotta exchange friend QRs at some point but I'm heading to sneep soon, haha
The feeling of finding out that your friend made it to beta is awesome
i havent crashed at all aside from the rainbow quest thing
~~Night night, now we go go mothing around in beta
~~
I do not want to go through Eden again 
Someone knows how can i get the PS or Nintendo bundle? 👀
You can’t in beta since it’s only in live
Sad...
glad i learned the krill area skip from live 
Wanna go together? I’m planning to
sure
Send me a qr
i just love when people decide to not help even though im honkin at them and theyre honking at me at the forest dark tree 👺
now im just stuck here. a lone beta moth sitting here alone on one side of the dark tree.
I WILL FIND YOU 👺👺👺👺👺 WHO EVER YOU WERE
It is a sad experience however I don't think revenge is appropriate on this server, better delete this
You can find quest buddies in #beta-looking-for-group though :
I can't share the pic but i can't complete the weeping spirit. There are like very big rocks closing access to the spirit
its not like ill ever actually find them tib cmon 😭
Then as a good beta tester you know what to do, report it as a bug 
Oh ok. i was afraid what just happened😂. I thought it was new way of doing the spirit i didn't knew lol. I will report the bug. Thankchu tib

Without joke hinting emojis or /j it's easy to misunderstand intents online, so c'mon use 'em 
This channel has seen many examples where they meant it
well i did use hinting emojis : 👺👺👺
That's the emoji of being angry not joking.... But I drop the topic since it seems you don't understand
Tonality is still important for text messages. I have been misinterpreted many time because of no tonal info
Feels good to help tgc devs with bugs

I gotta get my chibi mask real quick, idk how I managed in live when I didn’t have it there but now I understand it’s incomprehensible power
I had it by day four, you need it in beta 
/srs im normally a switch player and bugs are pretty rampant so im not sure whats important enough of a bug for me to report for beta, what would be a good standard?
Interesting! I almost never feel the need to use chibi mask in beta 
Afaik as Ktjn Sky dev told anything that's not mentioned in patch notes and you expect it to function (not the mechanism but the function) otherwise, should be considered as a bug and the bugreport department - so to speak - will sort the reports. It's not rare that some people have dozen+ separate reports after a bigger update. So based on your message you have pretty much to do 
I have been chibi falling past the front eden gate in live so almost forgot, today I got reminded how much pain it is to open that gate. Also i love wearing it
Oh the Eden gate bug. So it happens on a lot of new accounts and devices 🐛
It’s not even lighting
, well ig i should report my first bug
You're helping the experience of countless future moth generations 
Also, what’s that thing called that you light to open the gate? So i can put that in the report
Skybot betafaq response, it's working!

Probably you mean the diamond shape stone on the gate? 
Yeah that, thanks
I'm not good at English, so I use a translation.
There is no fire spirit in the trial
is this a bug?
sorry if i'm wrong
if you are talking about the 3 spirits offering their cosmetics from the season of prophecy, it is not a bug as the fire prophet was not included
My English was so bad
But i give the bug report😁
Not a returning spirit
There is no fire spirit in front of the gate
oh, my bad! im not sure, currently i do not have beta access
i know i dont got the option yet but how would you skip cutscenes on mobile
Unfortunately if you don't see the ▶️ button on top right there's no skip option 
was able to complete praire and forest without any crashes, better than yesterday and a few hours ago where i would constantly just crash 💀
Is beta crossplay?
How do people play on mobile like this every day
we just do it
People are just enthusiast
imma hop on now and just wait at the office gate and hopefully we merge?
If there is a way to connect a controller to my tablet and use that, I would do it in a heartbeat
…is there a way to do that?
does anyone else find the bubbles in the rainbow area too difficult to see? I'm having trouble finding them because they blend in with the bright surroundings
already submitted feedback but I wanna know if others feel the same or not
yes, mostly it became visible when you really near it. However, it became apparent visible after the rainbow beams activated, you could see the bubbles from far away.
You can connect joy cons to a tablet?? Google said you can, is.. is that true?
It’s possible on iPad but I don’t know about android tho, try connecting the controller to your tab and she if sky is working with that
I’ll see if it works
so sorry i should've deleted the message- i already got help. thank you anyways 
Power of "getting used to"🙃
Not gonna get used to the delay with the instruments though
If it's the only device u have, u will
I have a switch, which I've been playing sky on for like a year and a half, im used to no delay with the instruments lol
I found a tutorial on connecting joycons, so I'll try playing beta with that
I didn't get a crash at all lol
Everything is so decent for me there😅
I couldn't get my pro controller to work, but I've heard people had a great experience with dualshock :Oc
Quite interesting, because I didn't get any crashes yesterday, but at the same time I barely saw any other players and crystal memories
Joycons aren't detected by sky :/ guess I could try a ps4 controller
Is it normal to not be able to move when there's a winglight nearby? I'm trying to have a wingless account..new to beta btw
I think it's because of the guideline
Im curious if that works, touch screen controls are hard on a phone and id love to use a controller instead 
I'll try it, and I can tell you if it works
It works! It works great
I literally told yall it would 😭
You said you’ve heard from others it works
joycons are usable in ios 14 (if thats what youre after. android i have no idea)
Only my phone is iOS
And the ps4 controller did work
Controller player here to share some wisdom before calling it a night (yes it's 4am, but I work until midnight, so....) (Ps: apologies for text wall)
If battery life isn't an issue, wired controllers usually work with mobile when paired with an otg adapter. Razer kishi controllers also work with sky, though you will need to remove phone case and use the correct version (Android/iOS) depending on device type. Should be noted, D-pad does not work with the Kishi in sky (for Android, haven't tested with iOS), and other wired controllers are hit and miss for this feature.
For wireless switch controllers, the nyko core controller (Android/switch) works with sky and sky beta. Bonus points, layout is almost identical to switch controls, and the D-pad actually works.
Joycons can be used on Android, but you'll need an enabler to allow for use in games - this usually requires a paid subscription
sorry for the ping but joycons do work for sky on ios , are you sure you have both connected?
you’ll need both left and right to be connected for sky to detect them
They didn’t work, and the ps4 controller did work.
The above message said you need an extra thing to make them work
nvm 
Yes and I have an android, I’m not playing sky beta on my iPhone, I’m playing it on my galaxy tab. I assumed you knew, sorry
ah I only saw the my phone is iOS part, sorry about that 
No problem, just a small misunderstanding
Thanks for telling me! How do you get it connected?
Wouldn't it be nice if the people standing on each platform could talk to each other when people stood on the platforms to activate the rainbow during the Rainbow Day event? What do you think?
that’d be amazing, maybe they can implement the same mechanic as kettle where you need to stand near the tea to be able to chat 
it would be a good idea if this wasnt a pride event and hateful people didnt exist 
If only we could report strangers messages, that would work though!
hi! im new to the beta and i really want the new violin, but no matter what i do it keeps on saying "Come back after you've made some progress" so, i completed the game (-eden) but it still says that message, does anybody know what to do?

I’m not in beta (yet) but I’m just curious, do the iap items that have candles attached in live have them attached in beta also or just the item connected to them
it will be available during days of music, everyone's locked out from getting it rn
oo okey!! thank uu!

im a yesterday moth, been speedrunning realms & spirits & stuff. im up to valley rn & for some reason most seasonal spirits dont show up, is that normal or a bug? i have no recollection whether it was the same when i started in live, its been so long 
@cinder goblet, 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. 
excuse me, who knows how to get a Tearful Light Collector behind the stones?
they are only visble after your first eden run
wrong message sorry 😭
You have to have gone through eden atleast once
U have to pass eden to see the seasonal spirits, its the same in beta and live
ohh alr that was my first assumption! thank yall.. still i was able to see the 3 prophecy ones but i assume its cuz they r returning rn
time to wait another 6 months for beta invites 
Real
excuse me, who knows how to get a Tearful Light Collector behind the stones??((
you can't, they are behind an invisible wall, wait for this bug to be fixed 
ah... thanks for the answer..
makin bug reports makin bug reports
I held down the share button and the ps “turn on” button and it showed up on the Bluetooth devices thing and I paired it
Today I found tickets only at rainbow completion, near the cape drawer, near the geyser and near the exit to prairie temple. Could someone please help me out finding the last one in Oreo area? 
haven't done the hunt today, but check near the oreo's grave and on top of the pillars 
Yeah, at least it'd be easier to activate it
There's one near the map shrine iirc
After 82 days is over, what happens?
I'm android and I will play every day 😌 do you know when the new season will come to beta?
!omgomgwhenbeta - read below, no one knows. There's about 3 weeks gap between seasons usually, it may vary
Beta testers don't know when things will happen in Beta
Any Beta announcements will be made in #beta-announcements!
Okay thanks both of you 💕 sorry I'm new to beta
We just get things to test when they are ready for the bug hunting state 
Keep an eye out on the update channel 
seeing beta moths so eager in bugs hunting
u guys cuties imma nab u all 🦈 🤏
Could someone take me to the office please

Everey veteran I meet already found their moth to help and I feel just as lonely as I felt on my live account 
If you’re still in need, I’m happy to help, just send me over your beta QR and preferred name 
Tysm!! I’ll dm now
I was able to exchange the cape for the beta version of Nijikakeru Hibi without any problems, and I was able to exchange it for what was supposed to be a billable item.🥳
It's fine! Each new build has to pass internal testing before it can be pushed to beta. This makes the schedule variable for everyone and it can cause significant delays in beta doots.
You can dm me your qr and I'll play beta with you.
The music of the days of color kinda feels like Pokemon x Harry Potter and i love it
Was the rainbow cape 175 candles?
only 4 around the event area... 4 for rainbow completion and 1 for viewing rainbow
Where do I buy all the days of color cosmetics? There is no option to buy them from the spirits in prairie
In shop there is only the dark earrings and tunic
Why can't I see any tickets :c
i am an unveteran'd beta moff
my friend is also beta but she is beta moff too
I got that bug too😂 but I try to use Chibi fall and it works! Maybe it worth to try
@cinder yew u there?
how do u even get so many hearts for hearts cosmetics in beta 
spirit at home should have the ones you are looking for if you are not looking for iap items
Yeppppp
We should have a daily hearts trader as spirit. 1 heart from trading with the spirit each day
Isn't the event area too quiet?
No wait actually. Better idea. Just like quest, there should be a quest everyday like collect some butterflies or stuff like that gives 1 free heart. Only one quest
Maybe because it's about to end
?
Maybe, I'm just new
why are some people already at vault im literally still at gw 
Bump
beta is more quiet compared to live, so unless there is special gathering as per requested by dev.. usually it will be quiet
Ah I meant the actual sound, there's no bgm music, just wind
I will be off to study. Taco care

you mean the new rainbow completion area or the rainbow light gathering area... i dun recall there are bgm for it... unless the way up to new rainbow completion area
it is oddly quiet usually in beta but i like the peace and quiet 
if you're looking for the iap cosmetics from previous years, jelly hair dude sells them
It's always quiet unless there's a scheduled test on
🤔 wonder will there be beta on steam
X) i just used all my candles on spirit hearts earlier
heloo i just joined beta sky is it possible to log into my sky acc in beta? but i already “restarted” and im a moth again
Since #beta-faq doesn’t mention it, is beta shard same as live shard? Like, for example, if on Friday live shard is red, beta shard is red too (on Friday)
React with
or 
It depends. It is often same as live (as now) but we have seen different schedules in past and it's been turned off too so it won't conflict new findings
Also I know that live sky cotl and beta sky cotl are two different apps, I just wanted to be sure
currently, we do have shards in beta, yes
I am on a bug hunt 
will there be a beta branch on steam?
ah it was asked before and seems unconfirmed 
love seeing all the mothies with the new pants and their brown capes still
yeah we're very cute
we all match 
All us moths are matchy 
Hello, I have a question, so the first spirit that you're supposed to meet in isle to unlock first door, do u automatically start with it on beta? Cause I have it but don't remember doing it
this crying relieve bug better don't come in live, quite bad for andriod players... as for your question, i think usually the game will auto bring you to a nearby spirit and ask you to relieve at least one right? as much as i can recall
Yeah I kinda flew through the door in my first run in isle and it didn't force me to do it, unless I did it and forgot which I doubt is the case
maybe you can check your spirit constellation to confirm?
If anyone still waiting for PC Beta testing, I'm giving free WAFO Waffles to gain patience energy so come and get'em!🧇
runs to get wafo waffles
How many tickets did you guys find in the rainbow area?
rainbow area has 4 and rainbow quest also has 4 (except rainbow quest is currently bugged and will instantly crash you if you grab it)
I just grabbed it tho? Its fixed i think
I found 8
The spirit is there, I remember how I got it, when I got to prairie social area it was there and unlocked
you did? ill test in a bit as it usually just crashes, hopefully this means its fixed for everyone
Yupp i hope so
crash issues might be different with different devices. kindly bug report if yours does crash
Why can't I get the violen
you can only get the violin during days of music so i have heard
Where’s days of color place
the guides are in homespace ^^
Shall I complete Valley first? Because I reached the Valley
they showed up for me after i got to forest, but that might work!
Idk, I’m opening beta later
Quick question can you use your account from the live version (linking the account) to the beta ver
Thanks yeah I was trying to link my psn to the beta and it said that I had to link it in game?
So I just keep my live account and make a new one for the beta?
Yeah, even if you decide to use the same login methods to backup your account they Beta and Live don’t influence each other in any way
Does anyone know how to add the invites beta channel?
You can read #beta-faq to be informed of how to join upcoming waves and what to expect from testing 
This is me 🥹 was accepted and still unable to download unfortunately
hello! I'm new to beta testing, and I'd like to know if being unable to light friends as a moth is on purpose?
That doesn't sound right
this is normal since beta is laggy at times.
So the event ticket balls appear randomly anywhere?
those who’ve been in beta for awhile; did any crazy bugs/glitches happen during y’alls first invite wave? 
Not my first wave, but there was at least one time that new testers were effectively stuck in Home for some time because of bugs 
All coliseum spirits evaporated when I got in during november, we literally couldn't relive them because of that and there was a bow daily around then too 
Oof lol
My invite wave experienced both the IAP glitch and the endless season candle glitch, so that was fun 
All I remember from my invite wave was after performance ended and we had season conversion tgc then fixed the candle bug past testers had by doing a currency wipe and I lost 200 candles but gained 50 hearts 
Now i know why it's exciting to be in beta
Does anyone else have a problem with tearful miner spirit? On the second part of their memory, the checkpoint is to far for me to reach.
It's exciting because it's so broken at times 
Same!, I was a new tester in beta I just joined and when I wanted to relief their spirits the checkpoint is also too far for me
Yes. Sometimes the broken stuff brings a level of comedy with it
😂
you can do it with two chibis.. wwww
Yeah me too, I just joined yesterday
Report tearful miner as a bug!
How do we report bug in beta?
Btw how do I know new stuff?
Omg SAMEE... The spirit is far beyond my reach behind a broken wall 😭
But when I checked in the live game, there wasn't really any problems when reliving tearful miner
#beta-bugs-ios for iOS or #beta-bugs-android for Android
Ooh okay thank u sm!!
Hop into #beta-bugs-ios or #beta-bugs-android depending on your device and react to skybot's post with the flame that's there. Skybot will then DM you with step by step instructions. Make sure you make a note of your device model, the latest software update it has installed, the beta version 0.21.5 and the build version 219733
I see then!, I will do it tomorrow since it's already 12:30 am here I hope you all have a wonderful night, morning, evening or afternoon 
Bubba i like your banner and pfp
Also how do I know new stuff? I only know about days of color and music
read #beta-announcements most of the information is there
Oh ok. Thankchu tsuka

Thank you! The talented Cy painted it 
Also check out #beta-announcements, do a backread of a few of the recent posts there and you'll have a run down of the things we've been testing!
We're moving onto Days of Music and then Days of Sky (anniversary event) after we've completed this Days of Colour schedule 
Oh ok. Excited to test those out
. Thankchu bubba

~~why did i type taste🤦♂️ ~~
EAT THE EVENTS 
Is the Days Of Colour event in the hidden area like most times?
Oh, that's new. I don't have access to that area yet 😭 gotta start collecting Spirits
You should be able to teleport through the guides at homespace, but if you don't have those you may need to progress a little bit more
The only guide I saw was the one that lead me to the (tests? area I completely forgot its the water fire bla bla area) but I should get access to the
area fairly soon, I know where everything is anyway 😁
anyone could help me get into the office area? also im looking for friends.. ;-;
Hello I just go accepted to beta and I am a bit confused by this message. My Live Sky account is connected to Google is on the same device as my beta is installed. Would it eradicate my progress?
Message:
Creating New Sky Account?
If you want to play with your existing Sky account, cancel this process. First sign in to your other device and link your existing Sky account with this new login methof under the Accounts menu, then return here.
Ohhh prophecy guide, behind them the days of colour guides should be there (rally and jelly), if they're not try progressing at least all the way through prairie perhaps and if you're still not seeing them come back and I can uber you through the rest of the realms. I don't think you need to progress all the way to be able to see them, but I might be wrong
Beta and Live Sky are essentially separate games, you can use the same login for both - your live account won't be affected nor will it transfer over any progress, so you'll start fresh as a moth in beta 
okay thank you, the message sounded so scary
😭
does it matter if i use the google account or can i use a different sign up method ?
If you're on android it should automatically link to your Google account anyways, but if you're on iOS you can choose from other login methods if you wish to - the only one that doesn't work in beta is Facebook iirc
I am yet to catch a bug, I am like a krill on a mission 
Be sure to check out #beta-faq, there's plenty of helpful trouble shooting info in there from the devs to get you guys started as testers! 
I completed Daylight Praire, though I left before progressing to The Hidden Forest. I'm trying to get a proficient amount of winglight right now so I can reach more areas during testing. Thank you for the advice, I should be able to access days of colour fairly soon.
I heard from people who just came, clearing forest seemed to clear for the days of colour spirits to appear. Can try
Try reliving all of the spirits in forest 
I have only found five in the forest 
One question, am I the only one that gets a server error in the beta? Since yesterday I can't log in 
Vault area seems abit buggy. I have to retest the area again to see
Does anyone use Facebook login for beta?
Facebook login does not work in beta
There’s a bugged one in the temple area. Seems that a lot of us in the most recent wave of beta moths have come across it and reported it. I think unless it’s now in known issues it’s worth reporting since everyone is using different devices and different iOS / android versions
yeah I will check it out and see 
Is it the weeping spirit?
Idk if it's a bug but when i was going through the sky ocean sequence from Isle temple as a beginner, 2 bgm kept overlapping each other. Unfortunately i couldn't record anything
will there be beta in pc??
That spirit won't let me go to grandma's and I would about it cry but I can't
I can get you into grandmas rq if you'd like?
No one knows
. But since pc is quite free just like Android, it has a possibility
are pc and ps at the same level? because we didn't get beta testing for thag one
I would accept but I was about to take a nap
PlayStation testing was internal, I think.
is ok
go get some rest, that's more important! 
I know, and there’s, what, 6 WL that we can’t access without help.
Ironically, the spirit that we need but cannot relive is crying too- tearful light miner
I’m pretty sure if you go through the Wind Paths and complete those missions you might be able to go in Grandma’s that way temporarily?? Don’t rely on me for that information though cause I haven’t done those quests in a hot minute 😭
Yeah, you can get into deep caverns + grandma's area by completing the flight quest, or by having an Uber take you in
That's why I said I would cry about it but I can't
May I know if there's a rainbow in starlight desert?
Yes. It's by Narcissist
narci ally
Ah thank you!
who is grandma??
The Belonging guide in the Forest’s elevated clearing.
(It’s not their actual name but everyone calls them that.)
Oh her
is there like a quota we have to meet? like a bug a week or something 😭😭😭😭?
Nah, no quotas of any sorts. Just report any that you happen to encounter while playing 
I don't think you have to meet any quotas. You will encounter bugs while your playing anyways so you will eventually report it
it like a bug what I am taking the ticket near ranbow today but the application exist and I opened it again pick up the ticket all exist
Hey folks! I’m new to beta and I’m trying to buy the violin but it says I haven’t made enough progress yet. I completed the performance quests and I found all the triumph spirits as well. Does anyone know what progress I still need to be able to purchase the violin? Thanks!
Need to wait until Days of Music starts again
Oh ok thanks friend!
Skybot you entered the wrong time
How do I get the black rainbow cape quickly? Because I’ve seen a beta moff with the cape before
Quickly?.... You can't get it quickly
Only through spells atm
You can only get it by collecting tickets, there's no way to get it quickly. Though there is spells
Oh true, I forgot that spells exist
But you have just 2 spells
Pain of coming late to the party
tib, you got my message just now? 4 tickets at oreo area and 4 after completing rainbow.. the view rainbow one seemed to be spoiled now
everyone got 2, the cooldown on claiming them is 256+ days or smth
With three days left in rainbow I don’t think I’ll be able to get the cape this time 🥲
Same
. Tho i can get ready for music
I’m lazy to reach Eden 🏃♀️
Sky live really spoiled me
i dun think alot of us can get thou.. i am also missing out a couple
I doubt anyone will be able to get the cape actually, even the day one players 
Same
I calculated, maybe can 6 more tickets more? i think i missed out quite some
I have saved up for a long time, and even if I count all the tickets I can get later, it is still not enough to exchange for the black rainbow cloak...
can someone recap me on what is coming up in terms of costing candles? i know some ts are coming at the music event, only i forgot which ones... the days of rainbow and bday stuff, do they cost tickets or candles?
Oh no, is it the new ticket system that is causing that?
But it’s true that prices are just used as reference, and they’re not 100% confirmed
guess you could say that? it's just the testing periods for each event were very short so far, and the amount of tickets offered each round vary wildly
rainbow / music / sky aniversary 2023 items are all in tickets... the older years items are in candles.. can go view for reference and not to count the TS coming for the events.
What was the price of rainbow cape back then?
Will days of colors in live last 3 weeks? (Cuz if it's 2 no one will be able to get the cape lol)
ohh ok
If all tickets worked this time i could get cape but the bubble at rainbow quest crashes
!omgomgwhen
No one knows when things will happen in Live
Any Live announcements will be made in #news!
73 now 136 tickets i think for new rainbow cape 2023 i rmb coz 73 is a nicer number for me too
During the testing cycle, collecting all the event tickets that can be collected is not enough to exchange for those items
- we dont know
- we have no idea what's the ticket per day count will be once event is live
So wait… Today’s daily quests are… awkward because I’ve got no friends on beta 
hi-5 can be done with seasonal guide spirits too.
And I forgot about that too
Oh man. It's 175 candles for old rainbow cape
Prices have hiked up super high
Wait, true, I forgot the amount of tickets could be different too
i want a saxophone honk
Does this take couple of days until I am able to download the beta ver? Cuz I am still waiting for the install button to come up until now
I'm going to beta again. See ya guys in a min
Ty to the chibi that helped us with the second level 4 door 🥰
Should I buy the old rainbow cape with 175 candles or should i save this candles for future testing?
save your candles!
It's up to you, but candles are not for testing. You can test items with spells already. 🪄
Oh ok. Well i will consider on it. Thankchu @tired birch @cobalt jacinth

see what you wanna get? ts wont be coming back (coz might be too random) but the days of rainbow would be back next year. (unless tgc wanna remove rainbow day or >_> not)
Oh ok. I will take this in consideration as well. Thankchu tsukasa

how do you see your quests on mobile. this is god awful
tap top left
Yeah there's no seperate button on mobile unfortunately, it's at the same spot as where your candles sit
i will never ever ever ever ever ever EVER understand how people can play this on mobile
why have they spiked the prices when you can still only get 20 candles a day...
pain, suffering, alot of heat and patience.
Also having started playing before options other than phone was available. I prefer to play on the Switch usually 💀
can anyone come to the second floor of vault and see if they merge with me this is getting bananas
in beta u guys got fire spirit?
no
I am beta moff from a new wave and I am in love with colour cape,I don’t think we (beta moffs) are gonna be able to collect enough tickets for it, much can we collect tickets per day ?
Tbh from what I hear from switch users I would not switch to ... Switch 
I started on mobile and people tell I'm quick as the wind 🏃
I tried playing with controller on my iPad and I will never ever ever understand how can people play with that
i can do more with 2 flaps on a controller than i can with 6 wings on mobile. why is movement so different 👺
Because it's.... different. Still I don't believe it's a beta feature to discuss here.
rip fire spirit then
Playing on play station was the easiest, controls are so easy, but when it comes to chat it’s worse than switch
Do you have two hand controls or one hand? It could be hard in one handed mode, most people ik play on two hand mode
its 2 hand by default
Honestly I prefer playing on switch
it was definitely a learning curve and I kinda wish I had recorded my first cr in forest on switch since it was a disaster, but now that I'm used to switch I feel like I fly better on there than on mobile 😆
i connected my playstation controller with bluetooth to my phone, it worked, problem is only that i had to figure the controlls out myself bc i got no tutorial, but it worked 
Thank you for the info I will definitely try it out !
np! i think you have to hold down either the share, home or options button, if the light blinks white it is trying to connect (i have a dualshock ps4 controller), you can also google it ^^
Switch controls are bad? I thought all controls in every console were samey
Does it work with switch Joy-cons too?
god no. (switch dont even got bluetooth 
Wondering how to get season pass in beta or if we automatically have it
I've completed eden and all realms on beta etc
no clue, i have no switch lol
Get one /j
~~but imo it's worth it. I don't have one tho
~~
I tried playing sky on switch but the controls were really annoying for me personally, so I stuck with mobile for Sky
my ex had one, it was basically a portable wii i guess
I’m a switch veteran but idrc about touch or controller
Idk. I just think it's only worth it for botw and totk. Other than that it's pretty useless
never actually played any zelda games
i think the season is technically over in beta at this point? right? ok yup looks like it is. at least theres still Live!
Not sure
Never played on a console but I have a bt controller for my phone and I just can’t get used to flying with a joystick. I also prefer the touch screen camera control, which allows for much quicker and more precise shifts in camera angle. The one thing I like better about a controller is having a button for honking. I really wish they’d add one to the on-screen controls like in Journey.
A new season should begin
Just recommendation cause it looked really fun to me. But it's upto you. Personally, better than any 1st party title i check in ps expect ghost of tsushima and journey
Season of Passage is over in beta, but for future reference, you claim the pass the same way you do in live -- it just does not cost money. You get it free in beta
wahoo! tbh i think having beta will curb my spending in live lol. i'll get to experience the feeling of "having" things and get it out of my system before they cost real money 
Thanks I was just wondering why I couldn't claim it anymore, didn't realise they ended the season in Beta
abzu, journey and the last guardian were my favourite ps games growing up lol
Abzu is also available on switch as well
.
Everyone has different taste. I like very less ps titles. Only journey interested me. And ghost of tsushima as well.
I was going to ask about a bug but i forgot
It definitely took me a few days to get used to it but now that I am, touch screen controls feel weird to me
But I guess I better get used to these controls again now that I'm in beta 😅😂
Idk, maybe I could get used to a controller but after nearly 3 years of playing almost exclusively with the touch screen controls, I’m pretty adept at using them. I do sometimes bust out the blue tooth controller for Eden runs, since the joystick is just fine for moving around on foot, and it’s easier to get the statues with a controller, especially when running by them.
Yeah that's true! Making shared spaces is a pain on console though, if I'm planning to make one I'll hop on mobile just to do that 😂
Makes sense. My main barrier to trying Sky on a console though is the lack of text input. I have no patience for trying to type with a joycon and on screen keyboard.
Do I have to wait May 22nd for the violin? Because it shows, but it says that I should do more progress, so tell me because I’m a beta moff
Also I love the saxophone lol
I went to the days of rainbow spirit but the icon is not showing up so u can't look at the spirit tree
Fortunately on switch you can link your phone and use it as keyboard instead! It doesn't always work perfectly but it's certainly much better than using the switch keyboard
Why is it like that😭
Oh, wow that’s cool!
Hmm it worked for me earlier, but you gotta wait a lil while for it to show up. At least for me it didn't show up instantly
Ah okay
the switch keyboard 💀💀💀💀
A gentle reminder for all that we’re requested to keep this channel focused on Beta topics and things currently under testing
More general discussions, like different platforms or controls for Sky, should be taken to our Live channels.
Oh regarding the delay in interacting with rally and jelly -
Message from Ktjn about shortening the original sequence but wanting to leave a few moments for us to admire the rainbow in home before teleporting straight to oreo area:
#beta-discussion message
If there's any confusion/that intention didn't come across be sure to leave feedback
Hi, Do you know if they open beta for Huawei teams?
They have released Huawei invites in the past, but not recently
the teamwork that just happened in vault 😭
Ok. Tks!
Guys
I just completed all spirits in valley but still can't enter village of dreams?
Is that a bug or smth?
Or there's something else i should do?
Thanksss @peak mason
you need wasteland spirits
Who can tell me how to get the iOS test server account when the invitation wave arrives? It's a little confusing, or the test server can be downloaded in the Safari browser through the link, and you can log in directly. Thank you.
The invite slots were filled already, but for next time: be sure to read through #beta-faq to learn about the process and collect the #beta-signup-info role 
When the next invite wave opens the devs will post all the invite information in that second channel along with links to access the iOS and Android test programmes
is it just me or is going up to the third floor in vault really really really slow now?
Reading #beta-faq cleared my skin and helped my crops grow and the harvest has been bountiful and
Thank you.
No, it's not just you. It's in live too currently 
Does anyone know why me and my two other friends who also got beta, aren't able to add eachother as friends? I've completed all the realms already and have used return shrine at least once.
i knew i wasnt crazy 👺👺👺 outrageous! blasphemous!
If you are playing on ios, try taking a screenshot of qr code and than scanning in game (import option)
It could be a bug. You can report it. We have friendship bugs frequently and it's important they are addressed before they get to live.
#beta-bugs-android or #beta-bugs-ios
I'm on Android, but maybe that might still work
Been inactive for so long, I accidentally disabled notifications for Sky beta. Got in but have to wait now since Devs closed slots rn
For Android btw, I'm still active on iOS
Plus Timezone Pain
It’s in the 8 player puzzle too. 
I think the elevators in Sky need an inspection. Their contract is expired. 
Is there a reason why props are disabled in Oreo area?
real
They're not disabled entirely, just around the middle section because of the event - if you stand anywhere away from the rainbow section you can still use props
You cannot be a baller while waiting for the rainbows to form. 😔
I see. I'd rather use my prop while waiting. Maybe there's performance issues but it feels like waiting in line to get out to the playground.
Did they ever say why they were disabled or is it just because of the platform existing?
I'm really frustrated by the sound field for the ascension music. The music is so awesome. I got so excited when it picked up. Then...it just went away as I was carried past it. 
I tried to light one of my friends in beta multiple times but every time I log back in, they are not lighted, is those things also for reporting?
I did leave feedback. I'm just discussing it here.
