beta-discussion

[foggy brook]

i think i have a love hate relationship with it tbh, for instance i like how you can pair hats with the antlers but i don't like how i can't use the elder ult masks with the antlers.

[steady flume]

yeah the idea is great but the way that some cosmetics were split into the different closets doesn't seem to make sense to me

owo moth????

[strong sentinel]

In my opinion hats are their own separate category, as well as antlers and earrings — I really feel like all thede should be separated.
Elder masks are precious gifts, they can be their own category too. There were times when I wished even elder hair could have been combined with regular hairstyles. But that's just me
I did send a feedback on that topic to them, except for hairstyles

Also in my opinion it doesn't hurt to have more separate categories in one closest type... Or as someone mentioned, making able to wear multiple cosmetics at the same time is also sounds useful (not like 10 at the same time, but maybe 3-5)

[odd lintel]

I would love for no cap on how many accessories you can wear at once, just for goofing around

[trim temple]

being able to wear multiple accessories would be handy. my current outfit involves two (red earmuffs and the single feather from flight) and is gonna break 100% as soon as the closet gets shuffled again

[foggy brook]

i think people would abuse that and crash others' games is the issue. ive played multiple games where you can stack many accessories on and it can get terrible

[dense grail]

That's a possibility but it's chance to happen is not that high since why risk getting banned for intentionally trying to crash the game. Since if you have that much cosmetics you wouldn't even want to risk it

[strong sentinel]

You don't want to know how many people would absolutely love to do it for the sake of it just to be a menace /tlp asteroid jacket painful flashbacks/

[steady flume]

there was also a super specific outfit combo with the fortune orange once that crashed the app for every ios player in the server so it's not too far-fetched

[strong sentinel]

Oh that, yea, totally forgot that one horror. I didn't have ios back then but a few of my friends couldn't stay in the game simply because someone would go wear this combo just to crash the server

[odd lintel]

y’know, I love my beta closet, we have…

• no base game capes except for moth cape, orange cape and the TGC cape
• manta cape, nothing else from Season of Sanctuary (we love TGC testing stuff )
• Pretty much no cosmetics from base game constellations whatsoever

[gilded parrot]

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

[steady flume]

yeah i remember being super wary of every unlit chibi i encountered and I didn't even play on ios

[strong sentinel]

I also remember beta builds where people would camp logging in players or simply looking for afk players at home to use angry cat and then launch everyone to wasteland. It even went as far as throwing people into the vortex and pushing them into dark waters to make them lose light while afk.

[half kestrel]

Moral of the story is that beta players are menaces

[odd lintel]

My “winged light run” turned into a spirit run

[tawny shale]

My goodness I can barely live right now with how buggy it is

Might as well try to get wl and Spirits in beta

[shy ore]

SR in acronym

[dry ibex]

@raw wasp sorry to ping here, but in beta there are seasonal candles in every realm (except isle) - that’s what makes me say that

[raw wasp]

i did notice now that i’ve had a chance to see for myself! Also idm pings

I’m not really Sure about this, but thank u for pointing it out nonetheless

Oh ☹️

[lunar jacinth]

Does it rain in the new map ? If yes, does the rain hurt ?

[dry ibex]

In the last beta build, the rain seems to have been removed. we don’t know if that makes it into Live though

[lunar jacinth]

Did it hurt in the beta build, when it was available?

[floral zenith]

At first it didn't, then it did. After that it was removed

[lunar jacinth]

Alright, thanks 🙏 everyone

[woeful flint]

boat at home space, what does this mean

[strong sentinel]

Usually it comes with a schedule of events

[woeful flint]

next days event i guess?

[strong sentinel]

I’m not sure ngl. Sometimes boat in beta appears between testings and stays for a looooong time even after
Id say I’m actually used to seeing it be at home all the time

[woeful flint]

ah interesting, good to know; thanks

the slowmode delay, did something happen? lol

[late sonnet]

the sky shop is opening soon cuz they had the jumbo manta + crab so that's probably it

[woeful flint]

weird to see it in beta and not live, i was expecting to see it in live since the store will open soon; i will buy the manta if its the last thing i do

oh i didnt notice it was also in live wow i completely missed it, did it arrive later in the day?

[strong sentinel]

Oh right, totally forgot this too.
For skyshop boat in beta appears a little bit earlier too I think
Or I think of something else probably

[odd lintel]

Must have, since I didn’t notice it yesterday

[woeful flint]

yeah the shop should be opening monday (i thought idk maybe im being too hopeful lol)

[whole plank]

the online shop opening may be a little while away, as I have not yet received an email from the shop for prior access

[woeful flint]

at the boat it says 2 days so im hoping monday, i need

[whole plank]

Oh, I hadn't looked there yet. I hope so!

[waxen glacier]

Where to get the qualification of the experience service?

[late sonnet]

Read #beta-faq

[queen plinth]

Not sure but I think sometimes in some areas and the rain doesn’t hurt 🙂

[dry ibex]

No, the rain isn’t in this beta build. In the previous builds the rain did drain our light

[noble hill]

What are the chances of a beta update this week? Live just updated and we have a couple events coming up soon that need tested
Like, I know updates are random but it seems like we're due for one soon

[dry ibex]

I don’t think the updates are random, they come out when the new patch or build finishes internal testing at TGC. We are all enjoying our WAFO’s rn 🧇

[odd lintel]

<—— is eating her 57th WAFO today

[dry ibex]

Im kind of glad there’s a small drought, I’m very broke in beta & lots happening in Live rn

[steady moth]

<—— has joined Jade on her WAFO feast

[odd lintel]

same except I’m not broke, I have no winged light

I really don’t feel like doing a wl run on beta tomorrow since I’m in the middle of my live wl run so… agh

[vagrant fiber]

Hey, I'm not a beta player but just asking- does anyone know for how long the four traveling spirits will be staying?

[dry ibex]

You can check the patchnotes for that #news - aug 7-13 iirc

[vagrant fiber]

Oh okie thanks 🙏

[fair cave]

Actually I wish the next comming group of ts (of the new season of moments) could last longer than just a week (from AUG 7th to 13th) maybe till 20 th, or maybe be the first day of them comming the 14th (Monday) until 20 th (Sunday) so It could still be a week 🧎🧎
IM BEGIN PLS

(I wrote this on other chat thing but idunno where is exactly the correct place to say this kind of stuff hehe)

[dry ibex]

Since it’s been announced in Live, you can leave #live-feedback about it. It’s not really beta content anymore!

Which spirits will come hasn’t been announced, but the duration of the visit has

[fair cave]

Ohhh kk I guess I'll try to make this thing happen ☄️☄️👺🌪️

[sinful chasm]

I want burger

[trim spade]

Just saw the concert in live. They didn’t implement the mini games yet 🥲

[left quest]

I made some pancakes from scratch Beta chat, y’all want any?
I haven’t perfected a waffle recipe yet, that’s for tomorrow.

[odd lintel]

pancakes good… but WAFO

[burnt creek]

was there an update?

[late sonnet]

it's still basically sunday night in dev timezone, there hasn't been anything

[woeful flint]

i hope they had a good weekend

[nocturne onyx]

is the ticket farming system for days of sky going to be the same in live? pick up the cupcake at the beginning of every show for every hour’s first 30 mins?

[late sonnet]

most likely tbh

[odd lintel]

great

[ocean birch]

When will there be travel spirits?

[gilded basin]

!ts same as in live

[gilded parrot]

The next Traveling Spirit is scheduled to arrive on <t:1689836401:F> (<t:1689836401:R>)
You can learn more about Traveling Spirits here: http://bit.ly/TravelingSpirits

[lilac solstice]

We get traveling spirits the same time as live does. But we are about 7 spirits behind than live is

Oh I got beat

[cosmic nova]

Hey I heard from others that tgc collaborating with AURORA again next season?

Isit true ?

[cosmic nova]

Cos someone uploaded video on bilibili, spreading info saying about new collaboration with AURORA (Next season & days of summer)

[left quest]

The next season is Season of Moments. Whatever happens after Moments is over, we don’t know. We haven’t gotten there yet.

[stuck rose]

Its just their own speculation that doesn’t have anything common with reality

[half kestrel]

Please do not trust sources other than what TGC has announced themselves, as that can be misinformation

[delicate shuttle]

no aurora collabs please, we want something new😌

[floral zenith]

Marshmello collab

[jade kayak]

what would be next on our event tests? is mischief already possible or is it too early

[minor falcon]

I feel it would be a bit too early, but all we can do is wafo

anyone knows if 4gb isnt enough to reinstall beta? im on android and i just uninstalled a bunch of apps including beta sky but it kept saying cannot download app im on android btw

Maybe this helps!

[agile siren]

Please use English.

[rose axle]

What? What happened to Aurora?

[shy ore]

Please lower your expectations and keep an eye on #news cuz past collabs cannot be replayed or return anymore. (Just like some Collab IAPs will not returned in the future)

[trim temple]

we aren't allowed to speculate on or discuss things that have been rumored or leaked until they're confirmed (or denied) by TGC

[shy ore]

And that's a true facts so WAFO🧇

I always feel that the popularity of sky is decreasing in China.

is it really impossible to get the ult reward anymore? cant i still get it even tho i finish this season's guide's friendship tree when we receive new seasonal quests?

No owo in the updates, but we do have a Sagowomay now

[quiet basin]

[brazen arch]

Hi beta chat, ive heard a rumour that the current season is going to feature some returning spirits, is this confirmed? I tried not to spoil myself too much but ive seen a glimpse that one of them is Cannoneer that I'm really looking forward to...

[frosty trout]

You can read about the group of visiting spirits in the patch notes! But we haven't announced which spirits will be included (note that things can and do change between when they're tested in beta and when they're brought to live.)

[twin isle]

Sagomay can you console us on why the purple flowers were removed...?

[trim spade]

Purple flowers biggest tragedy of sky 2023 😔🪦

[gleaming bluff]

Does anyone know when the next beta invites starts

[dry ibex]

!wafo no one does unfortunately, TGC opens invite waves whenever they need new testers.

Skybot pls the command 😭

[idle nexus]

Is reporting a bug working for anyone? I just finished describing what happened and sky bot is now ignoring me. 😮‍💨

[dry ibex]

I think Skybot’s on vacation

[left quest]

Skybot went to Peaks with everyone else. 😔

[quiet obsidian]

skybot went to try and find the monday TS hint and is now lost

[idle nexus]

Success, Skybot stopped ignoring me.

[sudden pine]

hi beta my house is still full of children and i am very tired but i hope you are all doing well i see we have a new emote

[left quest]

Peregrine appreciation week!!!!!!

[sudden pine]

explains to 7 year old that the fact that the 4 year old nephew has a sign on his pillow house that says only he is allowed to go in is par for the course for being the big sister (also explains at mini-golf what "par for the course" means)

[odd lintel]

Manifesting beta doot while I’m at school today
I’m also manifesting the next set of elder masks, just hope that when we do get them, if ever, Valley’s masks branch off into two separate trees, so you don’t have to buy one before the other (presuming there will be two, since the mask is slightly different on the twins)

I think only kakashi twin has the spike going up from the mask, right? Whereas Dora’s doesn’t have anything going up from the top

[late sonnet]

I think they would still be inverted versions of each other

[spark lance]

All of the oob in beta has been patched in live. Live area now is a big eco bubble. I know oob wasnt meant to be "there" but I cant shake feeling trapped inside of new area

[sand dawn]

heh, the first thing my friend managed to do was fly though a cloud and end up inside of a mountain :’)

[shy ore]

Skybot's snacks: Peas and WAFOs

[brittle bough]

What spirts will be in the peaks?

[odd lintel]

No beta doot yet, I shall enjoy WAFO’s for longer then

[whole stump]

Someone please give me a sky beta account 🙏

[tawny hornet]

:(

[odd lintel]

You’ll have to wait for an invite wave, Sky beta is linked to Apple ID & Google Play Accounts

[spark lance]

How cane you get notifications for when beta opens up?

[late sonnet]

#beta-faq message
this section of #beta-faq, give it a read

[dry ibex]

We cannot ‘give you a beta account’ as we are all just beta testers and have no influence in opening the invite waves. That’s something only TGC can do.

We can also not ‘give you a beta account’ in the literal sense, as selling / buying accounts is against ToS.

[delicate shuttle]

hm
what spirit will come to beta this week? 🤙

[odd lintel]

Sneezing Geographer is up next for beta I believe

[barren thicket]

This is the first time i'm in the beta chat . Such a new thing One thing that make me suprised that there are so many people who are waiting for be added into the beta version

[delicate shuttle]

tysm💞

[shy ore]

Thowback: Provoking Performer and Geographer. (and Return Shrine)

[odd lintel]

oh god don’t bring back that memory
TGC should make it happen again on beta just for the memes

[scarlet birch]

Can't add my friends from other country Cuz if i add Them its kinda Buggy

[agile hazel]

Don't double post in multiple channels

Good morrow beta chat. How farest thou this day?

Wouldst thou like to eat wafo waffles for thy patience in beta updates?

I'd like waffles in general. It would probably be more filling than the cheerios I'll be having for breakfast.

[odd lintel]

manifesting beta doot overnight

[cinder schooner]

Hi, sorry if the question is answered somewhere but will there be a beta for pc ?

[dry ibex]

!wafo (it hasn’t been announced to us for now)

[gilded parrot]

🧇 Beta testers don't know when things will happen in Beta or Live Any Beta announcements will be made in ⁠#beta-announcements, and Live announcements will be made in #news!

[cinder schooner]

Fair enough, thanks for the reply!

[zealous mulch]

Any news for days of summer?

[proud coral]

Yeah, I heard it’s coming sometime in summer

[left quest]

Nah I think it’ll come in the fall

[quiet obsidian]

gonna be controversial and say that actually i’m 100% sure it’ll come in the winter! no one can change my mind!!!

[trim temple]

days of summer will become real in 5 ||years||

[woeful flint]

hmmm im gonna say we get a patch in the next week or so

[snow shore]

Hey wasn’t there some event or smth where there were spirits in the new season area? There was crab call (only one that I can remember)

[halcyon epoch]

Apparently Cackling Cannoneer was with them but I don’t know if that was true or just a rumor

[snow shore]

Ohh i think it was the next ts group (first was the assembly spirits)

[spark lance]

Yes there was a ts group visit, their date to come in live is August 7-13 iirc

[ashen tusk]

as sago mentioned previously things can change come live, but those were the last group we saw in beta at least

[safe current]

What is everyone talking about winning an ultimate? How does that work?

[late sonnet]

there was a shared memory challenge in beta and that has long passed
winners could choose to have any item (bar some exceptions) added to their beta account

[safe current]

Ooooh! That’s actually cool

[odd lintel]

manifesting beta doot… please, I’m sick TGC, I need something good today

Waiting the beta update😭

[woeful flint]

PC BETA???

[frosty trout]

Hey y'all. Thought you might want to see what's in this blog post.
https://bit.ly/SkyGamescom_Disc

Especially the people who've been curious about the Steam PC beta

[left quest]

More emotes for me to hoard? I'm down!

[woeful flint]

Filled out the form!! I'm READY!

[whole plank]

I feel like it would be better to specify the operating environment on the blog for those who jump at the mention of beta.

[left quest]

Filling it out rn!

[sudden pine]

dont have a windows pc! sad!

[frosty trout]

@whole plank could you explain what you mean?

[woeful flint]

First Line in the part of "Get Ready for Sky PC Beta"

You probably noticed how we mentioned having a version of Sky ready to try on PC during GamesCom. That means we’ll be starting a limited Sky PC beta on Steam soon—very soon. If you have a PC and want to take part, we’d love to have your help!
so I assume the operating environment would be PC, also there is more information on the signup form in the blog post

[whole plank]

I was worried that some people might just apply in a big hurry when they don't actually have the environment to play the Steam version (yes, I only have a mac ).
The operating environment of the Steam version is quite strict, so...

[sudden pine]

mac users pretty much mostly have to assume any steam announcement is not gonna include macOS (for any game rip)

[woeful flint]

yeah though M1 mac users can play ipad/ios version of games, and theres a good amount of games that work on mac through steam too. im not sure why there isnt testing on mac, we even have testflight too, but oh well im not too bothered

[frosty trout]

As a fellow Mac user I feel that pain 🥲

[left quest]

I used to have a Mac, I also feel pain for you all. 😔

[sudden pine]

this laptop has to live a few more years til i get to upgrade to M1 or whatever they'll have by then... weirdly i have actually never owned a windows machine in my entire life

[woeful flint]

I have a steam deck where i dual boot windows 11 on, so im not too restricted luckily

[barren gate]

AAAAAAH im so excited for sky pc!!

[lilac solstice]

Pc testing woo Hope all the PC testers, new and old enjoy it

[gilded basin]

i'm gonna use pc testing to see if my computer can run sky i hope it won't explode or something

[woeful flint]

i wonder if steam will get a exclusive cosmetic.. I'm really hoping it will be the steam valve on the back of the head like in the early days of steam games

[spark lance]

Good luck to fellow people applying!

[noble fox]

aw man i just have a silly laptop
i hope i can still play when it comes to pc though... we'll see

[fervent ridge]

signed for the pc beta! hoping I can apply and good luck all who also applied

[trim spade]

Omg I hope there will be more Aurora concert play tests I just read the blog post about it and I’m ready to break the servers again! Will we have 10k beta players tho? Last play test had like 4500

I honestly can’t keep up with another beta, that would be 3 Sky games for me with PC beta. So imma sit this one out

[woeful flint]

Honestly I think you will be fine, it runs okay on switch and that thing is getting old lol

[left quest]

If my gaming PC can't run Sky then I'll be slightly concerned (wheeze)
It's gone through a lot of me being indecisive with programs 😭

[noble hill]

So I saw a blog post about TGC bringing the Aurora concert back for a week with new items to collect. I missed the most recent play test and have to ask: have these items been added to beta yet or are they still a mystery?

[sterile marlin]

Where can I sign?

[still socket]

yayy

[radiant drum]

Check the recent #news post!

[analog bramble]

[trim spade]

I just talked about it above your post. The items are brought back during play tests for a short period of time. If we do have more play tests, maybe the iaps will return too, but it’s not guaranteed

[woeful flint]

no clue what the items are, i didnt even see that there would be new items! ahhh!!!

[blazing blade]

Imagine we get another voice instrument that's more masc

[deft silo]

but it’s aurora :0 so I don’t think that is likely rn

[trim spade]

An opera bass

[torn void]

Which items returned in beta so far? @deft silo

[late sonnet]

we didn't get any items
we just got to playtest the pre-concert activities and that's it

COOLDOWN
response to kev:
the golden wings weren't even intended to be available, it was just leftover code they didn't clean up
the subsequent tests removed their availability.

bonfire was just to get as many players on as possible.

[woeful flint]

though we were thanked with the golden wings and the campfire during those select tests we did, yes just mentioning 🥳

[autumn elk]

In some of the play-tests the wings of Aurora the orange transparent cape and the dress were available accidentally. It may not reflect what is returning in live in august

[blazing blade]

So doot soon

[shy ore]

Potato PC users,, anyone here?

[final terrace]

It's not even certain that beta will get to test anything related to the previous IAPs cosmetics for the returning concert, so don't get your hopes up too high in that regard

[deft silo]

aurora is not opera- it would be hard to add an operatic voice to the game because of the vibrato and technical components involved like portamento etc. personally I might be biased but opera is not something that should be done using computers 😔 it’s only possible with real life voices. auroras voice works well on the instrument because it is very pure and minimal vibrato but opera would not go like that (I know it was a joke but I feel compelled to explain bc the word opera gets used in a lot of inappropriate ways)

@torn void in beta players could buy the dress and cape, and the original orange concert wings but nothing else. and I think this was just due to a glitch maybe not on purpose

[agile hazel]

Yeah that was an accident but they will be returning in Live either way

The blog says "original Season of AURORA IAPs", so yes

[trim spade]

Bii that was a joke

[woeful flint]

i think just the cure for me outfit and mask, not the wings or the aurora outfit 🥲; just reread it so i can assume that we might get them all again 🧇

[late sonnet]

they didn't specify which ones would return, but I think it can be assumed that all of them will come back tbh
but as usual, 🧇

we did see the runaway aurora standing in aviary during the trailer for that so POSSIBLY we can see that too

[autumn elk]

It says the original Aurora iaps, cure for me outfit was igc not iap so its likely both

[trim spade]

They said in the blog post all Aurora iaps will be returning for the concert in live. Beta is a different story. But at least folks who missed the Aurora iaps in live will be able to get them all, plus a couple new ones

[torn void]

If the Aurora iaps come back, hopefully they bring back other limited iap content

[woeful flint]

probably to help get as many people in the servers as possible, im guessing since we hit almost 4500++ in the beta tests that they are trying to increase it for gamescom

why is this cooldown so long T_T

[acoustic pawn]

Do you get any email confirming what you filled in the form? I get paranoid with these things

[worthy wadi]

I'm trying to fill it out and having issue with the discord user ID, I have a number but the field is still telling me to "please enter a valid discord user ID"

[nova swift]

so excited for pc

[molten sun]

I hope I get in the PC beta I'm so excited for it

[late sonnet]

the sky shop just launched and they have a TLP collab and the star feature lets you go to asteroid zone and summons the prince

[frosty trout]

Try it again--it should be accepting 17-digit UIDs now 🤔

[heavy narwhal]

I missed out on buying the Prince of the Stars ribbon cape, so if Aurora is going to re-release it, I hope they will re-release the Prince of the Stars too.

[deft silo]

I wanna buy fox plushie

[woeful flint]

sorry for the ping but I mUST have the figures, but my wallet doesnt allow it as of right now T_T

[opal granite]

Quick question: I'm attempting to sign up for the PC Beta but for the Discord UID It's requiring the #1234 which I do not have since the ID change started to roll out so I'm unsure what to do

[worthy wadi]

Submitted and hoping to be accepted!

[frosty trout]

The Little Prince is a completely different IP (intellectual property) with a completely different collaboration. If we ever have anything to announce about it, we'll do so, but the Aurora encore concert is just Aurora

[molten sun]

The UID is the very long number right? I just filled it in the forms like "username UID"

[frosty trout]

Yep, the very long 18-digit (or on really old accounts, 17-digit number)

[late sonnet]

I filled in the form like
discord user: cysketch, UID: [mega long number] so it's as clear as possible

[frosty trout]

the discriminator is [username]#1234

[frosty trout]

Here's how to find your User ID number:https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-

(that's also linked on the form)

[unborn root]

Sky for pc = more bugs

[heavy narwhal]

It doesn't matter to the user why it can be re-released because it is Aurora or not because it is Prince of the Stars. Users only think about whether the collaboration item will be re-released or not.

[spark lance]

i'm really hoping that i manage to get into the pc beta since i'm already a tester anyways

[woeful flint]

Right click your user name and select "Copy User ID"

edit: seriously cy, i just sit here for a min and a half waiting to hit enter lol

[forest heath]

is sky out for pc? 👀 I haven't opened steam for a long time

[opal granite]

tyty! I misunderstood but have it now 😄

[molten sun]

are we gonna be moths in the PC Beta or are we linking our Live/Beta accounts

[still socket]

Can I write " my username - my UID " ?
Thank youuu !! I can't wait for PC Test wohooo

[late sonnet]

you know, I am really glad that the steam sign up is through a form rather than how it's a first come first serve battle of attrition and screaming at google play
so much more orderly and peaceful

this cooldown is killing me inside though

@forest heath read the news post about it: https://bit.ly/SkyGamescom_Disc

[unborn root]

Guys, do you still need to type #1234 to put it on the form or just the username?

[woeful flint]

if you have it, yes; if you dont, no

[timid grotto]

what? PC test? Could anyone tell me what just happened about PC test

[frosty trout]

Please read a few posts above at the link

[molten sun]

so many things happening in Sky this year that I almost forgot we're still getting Aviary in beta

[unborn root]

Well, I don't use my name with the # anymore, so... no?
Sorry, I'm too slow to understand

[woeful flint]

im so excited, my heart flutters every time i read "the aviary"

[spark lance]

speaking of aviary, is there any hope of it coming this summer? cause if it comes immediately after summer is over i'm gonna cry (UGJAKGAkjf THE WAFO IS NO HELP)

[woeful flint]

no you dont need to put it

Just saw that PC beta is being opened up, and I'd like to join, but the system requirements say Nvidia GeForce GTX 1030 while my machine has a GeForce® GTX 950M. As far as I can tell from the specs that shouldn't be a problem, but can anyone confirm?

[unborn root]

Alright i got it
Thanks!!!

[spark lance]

tbh i forgor to check my specs but i just put yes anyways cuz my stoopid laptop can handle lots of stuff that it shouldn't pretty well (yk, like stupidly photorealistic vrchat worlds with high quality lighting and stuff)

[alpine junco]

the DirectX feature level of that card is only 11_0

[rustic locust]

hoping to be part of PC beta

[wintry ravine]

Noooo, thank you for catching that 😭

[late sonnet]

Good luck to everyone who applied
Again I'm glad it's a form and not the usual first come first serve madness

[alpine junco]

it technically still falls under DX12 but barely but under more of a compatibility mode and not true hardware DX12 support (that starts at GCN2 archtecture-based cards, 12_0)

[sand marsh]

Ahhh so exciting! Good luck to everyone hoping to test on PC!!

[glacial storm]

Weird question, someone probably asked this but can you still be apart of Sky PC beta and Regular Sky once it comes to live WHILE being on the steam deck?

[woeful flint]

yes, beta and live should be different versions of the game

[wet light]

i already have beta so idk if i should apply for pc, feel like im snatching other people chance to join

[wintry ravine]

I assume the final system requirements for the live version of the game won't necessarily be the same? Be a shame if I couldn't play it at all.

[alpine junco]

they only specify DirectX 12 and not a minimum feature level so worth a try, or is there a dev in here maybe they can answer?

[spark lance]

you probably should apply anyways, cuz i mean... i have sky beta already and i applied cuz i want the chance to test for pc to make sure my decent gaming laptop can handle the game at all as well as just look for crashes or something

[unborn root]

Now that I stop to think
whether the Aurora event will return along with the IAP items outside the pass
will we have any chance of Little prince coming back with IAP items again?
Scarf cape, fox, and asteroid cape

[alpine junco]

but I can at least tell you the minimum specified cards support FL 12_0 (RX 560) and FL 12_1 (GT 1030), sooooo

[woeful flint]

unless they can work out a deal with the little prince team then maybe but it's a whole different negotiation and likely not possible

[sand marsh]

[jade sluice]

How to apply for beta in pc?

[barren mist]

I'd explode with joy if I got accepted to beta test on PC, as its significantly more convenient for me meaning I'd have more time to do testing and report bugs and such
Plus performance bugs and crashing would be much easier to look out for, and I could record them for once

[wet light]

you can find it in here edit: sorry, i mean you can find more detail in here👇
#news message

[spark lance]

I'd love to get into PC beta just to see how badly I can nuke it

[delicate moth]

While that’s funny and all they do mention they want above a certain specs so nuke it within reason I guess lol

[barren mist]

Screw the minimum specs if i get in ill run sky beta on my windows 7 laptop with 2gb of ram im sure that will work perfectly

[wintry ravine]

I'm sure they'll accept you with those specs just so they can watch what happens

[alpine junco]

i have the opposite problem, my phone is barely capable of running sky, while the PC i'd be suprised if it is not capped to gsync refresh rate, ill have to uncap fps

[delicate moth]

To be fair seeing how below specs run is also good testing interesting enough

[wintry ravine]

Should I apply anyway then? Don't want to waste the devs' time if not.

[delicate moth]

Not 100% sure on the serious side . But I’m sure a lot of people will just click yes anyways not even knowing what the specs are and hope for the best

[alpine junco]

again, they have not explicitly specified a feature level so just go for it

[spark lance]

just apply anyways, every tester counts in the long run

[barren mist]

My PC definitely meets the specs, its just that the windows 7 laptop experiment would be... interesting...

[frosty trout]

If your specs don't meet what's outlined there, I'd ask that you hold off on applying for now. We have a limited number of testers we'll be able to accept, so it's that much more important to have as many accepted testers as possible be able to run the beta

[late sonnet]

I did a double check and my computer meets the requirements listed
just barely

[wet light]

i wonder if i can transfer my beta account to pc or start all over again

[serene totem]

what if the pc just doesnt exactly fit one of the specs but the rest are fine?

[alpine junco]

what do you not fit?

[unborn root]

Guys, one thing I was in doubt: will the Steam beta be the beta to test content in advance or the global one?

[frosty trout]

There'll be an FAQ later but tldr you can link mobile beta to your steam account and that should transfer progress.

Key word: should

[barren mist]

In the end, if linking doesn't work I won't be too bothered, its beta after all, collecting cosmetics dont matter much to me

[frosty trout]

PC beta is focused on bugs and performance issues, not content

[spark lance]

Moth time.. part 3

[glacial storm]

Also another question, will the AURORA encore concerts in beta too? I'm sorry if this has been asked, I'm at work and trying to read

((Thank you!))

[worthy wadi]

If I do happen to be chosen for the PC beta, would I later on be able to link my Steam ID with an existing non-beta account?

[delicate moth]

I had to get someone to check my specs for me but I do qualify (no guarantee of getting in tho I do understand that )

[radiant drum]

If your PC doesn't have all the required specs, you might encounter issues playing that could be a result of that and not an issue with Sky Beta itself

[delicate moth]

Yea I can see that , it can end up being a matter of is the game genuinely bugging for pc right now or is the pc on fire

[radiant drum]

Yes, but note that Beta and Live are completely separate. You won't have any issues creating a Live account or linking to an existing one, but your Beta progress will remain in Beta

[barren mist]

It would definitely cause problems for the devs

[late sonnet]

and as usual, don't hold anything in beta sacred, live matters more
beta is where sometimes you will straight up never be able to get items ever and stuff vanishes

[grizzled kayak]

I’m trying to enter my discord username on the form but I’m getting an invalid error message saying it’s not in proper UID format. What should I do?

[jade sluice]

Same here

[tame edge]

ur uid is 572226302342594562

if you are on pc. you can turn on developer mode easily on the settings (mobile too) and just right click on your name or others name. you'll get them

[barren mist]

I put mine in as 'User: (username) UID: (number)', you could try that format and see if it works
If it doesn't try refreshing too

[alpine junco]

i did '<name> <uid>', worked

[radiant drum]

Make sure to submit both the username (with the # discriminator numbers if you still have them) and UID as mentioned, the form also has instructions for that if you are not sure how to find it!

[frosty trout]

You can put in just username UID#. No fancy formatting needed!

We can tell the difference between which is which

[late sonnet]

maybe it would help to have an example format to input in the form so people can just copy that and know what to expect

[woeful flint]

i think this form alone is a test for pc beta

[radiant drum]

What if I change my username to 406295581431037972

[jade sluice]

What is my UID?

[tame edge]

if ya still cant find it. yours is 1016348837205516460

[frosty trout]

I mean, it is a fact that reading is a necessary part of being a beta tester

[frosty trout]

I will bury you in beans

[barren mist]

But what if your username was a number just as long as your uid

[echo gale]

Hello, I was trying to figure out how to fill an application for beta tester for Sky PC, is it via this part of Sky disc?

[gilded parrot]

@echo gale, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!
💻 https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[radiant drum]

You can follow these steps in the form to find your ID too
https://tinyurl.com/DiscUID

[frosty trout]

Then you should really be rethinkng your choices in life

[late sonnet]

If you aren't rereading sago's mega long textwalls every doot how are you a true beta tester (they are always wonderfully written )

[woeful flint]

my fave is "🔹Bug Fixes & Improvements!™"

[grizzled kayak]

Yeah, it’s my fault since I skimmed through the help link and I just don’t mess around with discord settings at all 😓

[radiant drum]

!whatsnewinbeta

[gilded parrot]

Bug fixes and improvements!

[frosty trout]

My favorite bot command

[spark lance]

ok- i'm starting to get more and more worried that i might not get accepted even though the application stuff literally just started today. i'm just afraid cuz i use a gaming laptop, and i really wanna be able to test beta so i can make sure sky will even run on it, cause i can run high quality vrchat worlds with shaders and stuff turned on, so surely it'll be able to run sky beta... right?

[torpid jasper]

if i only have my Sky account linked to Nintendo will i be able to link that account when im PC beta testing? or can i only link it from a mobile account?

[late sonnet]

my favourite was
"hey guys
owo"

[radiant drum]

It's alright to ask here, user IDs are a bit hidden from the regular Discord experience— just oh so helpful in locating accounts

[tame edge]

if anyone still having trouble finding uid i can help give it to ya (after next cool down-)

[ashen adder]

Just submitted my form for the PC beta. Wether I got in or not, I'm so excited for the future PC release!!! I wish to everyone who enters good luck

[delicate moth]

I think it just helps in locating specific accounts especially while discord is in this transition period of username and special numbers so pull out the extra special numbers lol

[radiant drum]

As Live and Beta are different apps, if you haven't played Beta yet you will need to create a new account for Beta. Not sure about linking once the PC Live version launches, but we most likely will have FAQs soon for that!

[jade sluice]

cherry9901[1016348837205516460#] correct??

[frosty trout]

brackets aren't needed

Just name and number is fine

[torpid jasper]

ah thank you!!

[vernal coral]

Excited for PC beta
Hoping that my current beta acc is usable (edit: just read, nice)

[vernal coral]

This
I've never encountered an issue with it myself, but for my friends in different time zones it was hard to get in before everything fills

[glacial storm]

Alrighty, I filled out the application. I had to double check my PC specs before filling it out.

Best of luck to everyone trying to get in!

[atomic burrow]

So glad Sky is finally coming to PC, I filled out the beta application with joy.

Best of luck to all the Skykids!

[wise flower]

I've got a question why am I the only one that can't see the spirits that are apparently in forest? In beta? I'm with a friend who was buying stuff I was wondering how?? And it's cause there is an event they see that I don't see? ;-; 😢

I've restarted my phone so many times and still nothing

[woeful flint]

have you gone through eden?

[wise flower]

Not recently why?

[woeful flint]

i assume you are referring to seasonal spirits but to see them you will need to travel through eden at least once in beta

[lilac solstice]

There are no spirits in forest to buy from. Is it at the temple?

[untold cradle]

do you mean the tree house?

[wise flower]

No :/ at granny's

[woeful flint]

yeah those heart shades are hacked items, likely unreleased items

[wise flower]

I'm not sure if one of them knows that though they didn't understand why I didn't have them too, and she even said she can gift it to me after we've been friends after 3 days. Like the norm
Which still doesn't explain the spirits they see in forest 🤔

[lilac solstice]

Well they can see them due to illegal methods. Just report the hacker, and block them.

[gilded basin]

just applied for pc beta i'm surprised my laptop meets the required specifications 😭

[lilac solstice]

My laptop is like 10 years old. It would never run sky

[woeful flint]

really not sure tbh, it could be hacked items, the only spirits i could imagine in forest would be for days of sunlight/lazy days, it hasnt started so it could only mean they were hacked

[wise flower]

But it was more than just them there, there were others there? And they were not our friends.

I would imagine lazy days hasn't started yet has it?

[cosmic axle]

Just submitted my PC beta application. I included my indicator in () in case it was needed I hope that was okay..

[wise flower]

Has lazy days started in other countries before ours?

[stoic frost]

will there be an Aurora concert in the beta version on August 25, as well as in the Life dedicated to GamesCom

[gentle bramble]

have u guys seen nastymolds new yt video?? apparently aurora is returning 👀

[lilac solstice]

Every country you can play sky in gets the updates at the same time. Your friend, and anyone else were hackers. Just be sure to report anyone you see with the new stuff

[late sonnet]

unless it's Netease sky, which isn't applicable to global because they are a separate company that does whatever separately

[gilded basin]

can confirm, stuff on the netease server gets brought up so often i feel like we need a !notnetease command or something

[wise flower]

It might be that you think?

[visual crest]

is it true that the developer issued a beta tester registration form for Sky Steam?

[gilded basin]

yes, there's a link to the registration form in this blog post #news message

[lilac solstice]

I think they should pin the registration form here

[halcyon epoch]

Wait there’s a PC beta application? Where can I find it?

[gilded parrot]

@halcyon epoch, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!
💻 https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[wise flower]

But if that's the case makes me worry hope I'm not in the wrong beta? Most ppl on there are from China or somewhere else lol I'm like partly almost the only American one there other than a few more friends of mine lol

[visual crest]

oh wow alright, I'm looking forward to it, thank you!💕

[gilded basin]

this is the only beta, the netease server doesn't have one a lot of people get in through illegitimate means though

[halcyon epoch]

Crying screaming FILLED WITH UNIMAGINABLE JOY RIGHT NOW

[shy ore]

Ok, so I checked my PC and my bro's PC specs for System Requirements. My bro's PC specs are higher than my specs. So I don't think I should use my bro's PC to test it for him to play Sky on LIVE

[lilac solstice]

If you joined through the same invite link sent here, it's the right one. (I don't think there's a Netease beta anyways) You just encountered hackers. Unfortunately there are many, but don't give them any attention.

[halcyon epoch]

Probably not, considering the Aurora concert is disabled on beta outside of specific testing

[scarlet birch]

So only on the beta gonna have the aurora Concert?

[gilded basin]

only live

[shy ore]

BETA concert ended cuz we tested it 3x this year so right now it'll be in LIVE

[scarlet birch]

When They gonna Release the TS on the beta? Any info from y'all?

[gilded basin]

!ts same as live, beta is 7 tses behind though

[gilded parrot]

for convenience next is sneezing geographer

[lilac solstice]

Two lpp spirits at the same time

[gilded basin]

i hope we get the provoking performer bug in beta too

[hollow compass]

applying for Steam beta felt a little nostalgic, like signing up for this one way back when - it'll definitely be interesting to see what the difference can be

[scarlet birch]

What will happen if you log in steam on beta?... is there changes?

[gilded basin]

i hope i'll give tgc useful feedback for how to optimize sky on weak computers 😭

[hollow compass]

changes to what?

[scarlet birch]

It don't let me Log in On any platforms...idk why Is it a bug?...

[alpine junco]

unless they drastically improve graphics im expecting PC sky to lean heavy on the CPU

[shy ore]

PLZZZ

[terse burrow]

I have a question on the pc beta I’m trying to apply but it’s saying my discord name thing is invalid?

[weak tundra]

So , if im not a phone-beta tester i can't be a pc beta tester?

[hollow compass]

yeah, I would definitely keep a look on CPU/GPU temperatures, general performance, fps drops, controls (I assume we can use a controller?) and any other individual settings you can do on PC

[scarlet birch]

Tbh if they gonna Release it on Pc version..the graphics would be overrated...

[wispy thunder]

[worldly scarab]

Do you have your ID number in there as well? Or just your Discord name? You’ll need both the name and number for it to be valid

[late sonnet]

did you include your UID?
which is 181856827321876481

[gilded basin]

you can be a pc beta tester as long as you're on the official discord you're already here

[lilac solstice]

I think anyone could apply? As long as you have all the requirements for testing sky on PC. Similarly to when we tested switch

[weak tundra]

@gilded basin oh thanks 😄

[shy ore]

Oh dear, I felt like BETA PC Moth lurkers are in to apply. :0

[hollow compass]

the main criteria besides specs is to be here, because they need the feedback and bug reports

[terse burrow]

Oh I think I get it lol I’m still a bit confused

[scarlet birch]

Have anyone tried sky on pc?

[steep tusk]

boop

[late sonnet]

and also as long as your computer specs match up to the requirements they listed on the form
not worth signing up if your computer can't support sky beta

sky is not available on PC at all right now, the sign ups are going for beta testing as we speak.

[gilded basin]

my computer just BARELY 🤏 qualifies but that's probably exactly what they need right now

[worldly scarab]

I believe you just need to put "lely 181856827321876481" and that should be it? (your discord user and User ID)

[shy ore]

🧇 Woe, WAFO waffle be upon ye

[odd lintel]

No one has yet, the beta for PC currently hasn’t started

[alpine junco]

meaning graphics elitism?

[weak tundra]

Sorry for ask this but , how i can get my user ID? I can't just find it qwq

[scarlet birch]

I think you can see it on Account info

[celest ledge]

you have to turn on developer mode on discord and click the 3 dots on ur profile

[hollow compass]

in the form to apply for PC beta there are instructions, so just follow them and you'll be fine

[late sonnet]

here's yours: 1033092926068240384

[terse burrow]

Thank you! Lol I think my computer can run it so I wanted to apply, I never did beta testing so I wanted to try out this one

[weak tundra]

THANKS CY 😭

[celest ledge]

i couldnt figure out if it meant i5 or i5 or greater so im hoping i7 is fine

[worldly scarab]

I believe i5 and greater

[alpine junco]

which i7?

[late sonnet]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
I made a quick guide for UID obtainment in the screenshot channel so feel free to throw this at people to help as well

[misty bone]

i7 is better than i5 for more instances but it depends on your cores and etc

[celest ledge]

intel cpu i7 i built my pc and recently replaced the old i7 so it should be fine

[alpine junco]

..you can see the exact model in task manager

[hollow compass]

there is literally a guide inside the form, though

[misty bone]

I have issues figuring out if my GPU fits their criteria... .-. and not sure what kinda computer knowledge they looking for..

[celest ledge]

im looking at the list i made on pcpartspicker great website highly reccomend also my desk is covered in sewing supplies currently

[late sonnet]

I think just assume their list of requirements are the lowest minimum that is needed to run PC beta
anything higher will be fine

like how there's a lowest minimum android version (8 I think?? version 10) to run beta

[hollow compass]

I think they are mainly looking for testers who understand how to bug report properly and to maybe be able to specify or draw conclusions based on their specs

[alpine junco]

android 10, and my huawei is about to lose support so the pc version better be proper

[misty bone]

coz I was looking at Nvidia GeForce GTX 1030 or AMD Radeon RX 560 > seemed like for supporting for max 60 fps / 120 fps... .-. tot they wanted players who can max their fps.. or somewhat..

[lilac solstice]

Well I'm hoping they can have public beta for pc past release, but I don't know anything about steam and their terms on betas.

[hollow compass]

PC beta may be a way to hone their own knowledge on what minimum specs to require for the game and/or what issues may arise from a specific set of hardware

[alpine junco]

i have high doubts a 1030 will be able to sustain even 30fps on a resolution that is 1080p or above, really, really weak card
the RX 560 would be a good bit better

[shy ore]

My PC processor I have was Intel i5-4300u, and it needs Intel i5-6400 so it's not enough for me.
Plus just an Intel HD Graphics Fam. is my graphics so the results is a potato

[alpine junco]

that one has AVX2 instructions but less cores and IPC, its still worth a shot just to see how low you can go cpu wise, but your graphics? gg

[terse burrow]

I have a ryzen 7, rtx 3050 and an 8gb so I think that will run it pretty well

[worldly scarab]

It will be nice being able to play Sky with good fps and not worrying about my iPad burning up and losing charge quickly

[gilded kayak]

its gonna be much better on pc. the hardware will take it easier

[hollow compass]

the game might still be taxing on PC hardware

[alpine junco]

i have seen bad looking games struggle on some absolutely ridiculous pcs, dont discount the possibility

[terse burrow]

Well it’s just beta testing I guess to see how it’s running and the bugs

[gilded kayak]

im sure itl be fine with a 1080 and an i7 or above

[celest ledge]

im super excited to see how they do the controls

[deep turtle]

I can't wait for PC release! My phone is super laggy I can't even go to eden 😭😭

[gilded kayak]

or anything above that i could be wrong. have high hopes i g

[gilded basin]

can confirm (<- can't run minecraft java above 15 fps) the specs just barely accomodate my computer which is a work laptop though, so either pc sky isn't resource-intensive by default or it's supposed to be really well optimized

[potent grove]

There's a beta for PC?!

[alpine junco]

assume the regular WASD Shift Ctrl Tab F deal

[celest ledge]

the drifty-ness is a huge part of the controls and what makes flying feel so realistic so i think just regular buttons would take that

[tame timber]

I can't imagine sky on the pc tho like the controls are gonna be so weird for me

[worldly scarab]

I hope the twirling flying mechanic works well on PC.. it’s not very good on Switch so wonder what it’ll be like there..

[alpine junco]

use optifine, you should get very playable FPS even on the worst of machines. if you were already using optifine... yikes

[shy ore]

My bro ask me to use my PC to test Sky even my specs aren't good enough.

[wet light]

idk how to read pc spec the requirement said AMD FX 8310, i have ryzen 7, not sure if both have drastic differences

[gilded basin]

i was 😭 optifine with fast graphics and the tiniest render distance barely helped, i switched to bedrock a while ago because it was nearly unplayable

[hollow compass]

Maybe this time we'll get better button priority...

[shy ore]

Ok, let's wait for Devs to see this so..... sad WAFOs

[celest ledge]

chibi fall on pc im excited

[gilded basin]

anyway ontopic i hope they let us mash the directional keys to roll instead of mapping rolling to the flight mode swap key for some reason, maybe they'll even let us remap button layouts???

[iron elbow]

I will definitely attempt to cr an entire realm using the mouse alone

[shy ore]

Shift

[alpine junco]

any ryzen 7 is more than good enough

[tame timber]

just get one of those mouses with like 30 buttons

[celest ledge]

i hope they add controller compatibility too that would be so great

[alpine junco]

its a given with pc games

[gilded basin]

i think sky would play really well on the steam controller actually there're trackpads where the joysticks would be on a typical controller which is basically what the mobile version already has going on, camera controls would use the actual joystick and menu navigation would use the d-pad and face buttons

[late sonnet]

i don't have a controller at all so looking forward to mouse n keyboard

[left quest]

Same vibes as beating Elden Ring only with the hop forward / attack button

[celest ledge]

ooo yea i had a prototype of one and it was so hard to use but sky would be perfect for it

[gilded basin]

the only game optimized for the steam controller......... i kinda wanna buy one for sky but i don't think they make them anymore

[iron elbow]

inb4 someone plays sky on a ddr mat

[late sonnet]

beat minecraft with a steering wheel

[celest ledge]

mine was part of the steam box prototype from i think 2013 so probably not but u never know

[gilded basin]

dark youtube show me the evil kinect eden speedruns

[late sonnet]

hear me out
playing sky with bananas connected to cables.... (idk I've seen something similar done before lol)

[shy ore]

Imagine if Dream plays this as sponsor /jk

[iron elbow]

someone should beat sky using voice commands alone

[tame timber]

someone probably will

[gilded basin]

beating sky with a wii remote, call that squeak boy and the secret rings

[late sonnet]

beat sky with kazoo recognition until they add a kazoo to sky

[celest ledge]

crabs play sky (they walk on a giant mat that has buttons in it)

[shy ore]

No, Twitch chat will do it 🤣

[upbeat inlet]

i think so

[iron elbow]

FORWARD FORWARD JUMP FLAP FLAP FLAP GLIDE FLAP FLAP HONK HONK FLAP FORWARD

RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT HONK JUMP HONK JUMP

[late sonnet]

no
the emote menu just constantly opens and closes

[gilded basin]

you keep spamming the screenshot button if you keep doing that i'm turning on democracy

[iron elbow]

no one will ever suspect that I was testing the pc build using the donkey kong jungle beat bongos

[shy ore]

I think I should remove this stupid idea cuz ik it's bad.

[left quest]

All of this talking of the PC Sky possibilities made me hungry

[shy ore]

And so for the potato PC users

[jaunty cosmos]

I have officially applied to the Sky PC Beta !! I’ve been playing sky for a very long time and love finding bugs so even though it’s not the same as the mobile beta (which I’ve missed every time ) I’ll still enjoy it and try and squash as many bugs as I can if I get accepted

[verbal schooner]

for beta PC I'm wondering if the email used must be the same as the steam connection ?

[hollow compass]

No idea. It might just be for the confirmation e-mail if you get in

[verbal schooner]

Oh I hope so Because of the email I used to connect to the steam It's full and can't receive notifications
Tysm

[hollow compass]

They seem more concerned about your Discord presence

[lone matrix]

hmmm PC sky shall be able to log in to the beta account i have create right?

[fiery coral]

is beta PC similar to beta mobile? I'm curious of it (to specify, whether both accounts can be linked)

[jaunty cosmos]

Didn’t they say the pc beta wasnt like the sky beta there already is? I assumed it would be live but we’re just testing it on pc early for bugs

[verbal schooner]

it may be similar But the beta might have some weird buttons and bug

[fiery coral]

Very well then! Guess we'll have to see soon from those who will be picked

[late sonnet]

I reckon they'll pick both a mix of beta fossils and new peeps to keep it even

[tame timber]

how many pc testers do u think theyre picking?

[gilded parrot]

@tame timber, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!

[verbal schooner]

Sky kids was staring at each other with murderous eyes

[iron elbow]

would be funny if we get our progress transferred to pc beta, and then immediately encounter an account wiping bug

[lone matrix]

thousands?? will they test for the concert again??

[jaunty cosmos]

Probably around 1-2k (just a guess)

[fiery coral]

I would cry

[left quest]

Gallus gets sent to the shadow realm (colorized)

[late sonnet]

From sago:

PC beta is focused on bugs and performance issues, not content

think safe to assume they're not looking for a big number since regular beta can already cover a lot of stuff

[lone matrix]

okay there's why we are invited to test for it ahahaha

[iron elbow]

gallus 🤝 gali
one weird bug away from vanishing

[verbal schooner]

Oh, and the PC must have a button setting 💀 Maybe

[jaunty cosmos]

I hope they have emote keybinds on the pc ver

[alpine junco]

they will need a wide variety of pc configurations, stuff like Intel non E-core and E-core platforms AMD non x3d and x3d platforms, different RAM generations, intel's new dedicated graphics

[iron elbow]

they better bring accessibility settings 😤

[lone matrix]

intrested on how pc sky play music

[verbal schooner]

OOPS SRY MY BAD I'm not good with Dc on mobile 💀

[left quest]

Sky music on PC will totally be just like Osu
Make every sheet HARDER 👹 /joking

[lone matrix]

i want to have a try!!!
it will be fun

[jaunty cosmos]

Probably keys for each button like most games

[shy ore]

plz dont 💀

[alpine junco]

honestly will be better than a controller

[verbal schooner]

Img Sky on PC and RTX on
If it could be done it would be beautiful

[iron elbow]

sky pc but every music sheet now has a project diva style music video going on in the background

[verbal schooner]

Aurora sheet music on PC

[old nymph]

i may be late but where do you apply

[sick spear]

just wondering but is Sky PC beta gonna be a different app like the one on mobile or is it the same ?

[shy ore]

No, DEEMO

[jaunty cosmos]

In #news there’s an article in the newest post which explains

[iron elbow]

shhhhh, everything for the janky gloat model to pop up and go "SEKAIIIIIII DE-"

[smoky yarrow]

sky pc beta hype :D my phone will hopefully suffer no more!

[old nymph]

it's not starting in like a few days right? I'll have a new pc in about a week so i should be fine

[placid stump]

I love sky

[jaunty cosmos]

I think it starts in august but I don’t remember if there was an official date best just to wait and find out! I don’t think it’ll be in a week though

[pastel cloak]

I can't wait for it lol

[vagrant hazel]

Eek

[whole stump]

Next ts?

[spark lance]

Yeeeeeee, I hope my application will be accepted and I will be able to help with the Beta version Sky on PC

[oak lynx]

Hello! I was just wondering for season of aurora in beta
All the cosmetics cosmetics they mention in their blog
is the ult gift coming too?

[tame timber]

i dont think theyre bringing back the spirits so the ult gift is probably not coming back

[ashen tusk]

We're getting aurora in beta too? I thought it was just live

[untold cradle]

I think only IAP like the golden wing would return

[hollow compass]

There’s no season of Aurora in beta. That was last year. We have tested festival tech a few times lately only

[late sonnet]

it would be:

• tiara
• runaway hairstyle
• runaway outfit
• voice of aurora
• orange dress
• red sparkly cape
• golden wings

[gilded parrot]

dancing around a shooting star, and every beancell remembers what have taken us this far

[sand garnet]

They did say the Cure for Me outfit and mask will return too but best not to chatter about it too much here since it's not a beta thing. ^_^

[jaunty cosmos]

I need to do so much math estimates for traveling spirits, returning spirits, and Aurora cosmetics

[sick spear]

Wasn't Aurora cure for me outfit one of the most expensive (in candles) outfit in sky?

[whole stump]

Guys it shows gift icon in aurora in valley but shows nothing there

[jaunty cosmos]

Which are the spirits that are returning in prairie peaks again

Pretty sure that wasn’t announced publicly specifically which ones so I’m asking here

[ornate spade]

i cant wait to see the new stuff
im a beta tester on android and would love to be one for pc since my phones to small to enjoy it
i play on the ps5 as my main and have account for the switch (kinda didnt get to link my account to my switch account so ended up with anther account) so i test on the switch too same with the ipad/m1 mac mini (since m1/m2 macs support the game)

[cobalt jacinth]

They are gone on beta and as a dev told in these channels regarding them not long time ago things are subject to and do change from beta. (I don't remember all of them, one was canoneer)

[jaunty cosmos]

I racked my brain and remembered them all while doing math

Hiking Grouch, Cackling Canoneer, Troupe Greeter, and Crab Whisperer

I’m going to need approximately 703 candles for the items I want from the ts this week, returning spirits for prairie peaks, and the Aurora cosmetics I missed.

Not including the two other traveling spirits in between now and the concert OR the new cosmetics they hinted at

[shy ore]

U forgot Lil Prince Sword pants

[dry ibex]

Yeah but the full outfit with the mask was more expensive than the sword pants! (Even though we got it for like 3 candles in beta )

[shy ore]

We start grinding Seasonal candles for candle conversion

[odd lintel]

wait- that happened?

[dry ibex]

Yesss! During Aurora testing there was a very brief moment where we were able to buy the Cure for me outfit and mask, and TGC lowered the price to 3 candles each iirc.

I think normally we weren't even able to get it in the first place!

[odd lintel]

Oh wow

[tranquil tree]

Hey guys how I sign up for beta on pc

[gilded parrot]

@tranquil tree, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!
💻 https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[strong sentinel]

I'm sitting here, hoping PC beta will also explore the graphics castom settings for users

[late sonnet]

nah they were 5 candles each, not 3

[pulsar oriole]

:/

[sly arch]

The blogpost was actually surprising. Like, was at the Global Tea Event and saw a notification from TGC

[thorny crater]

will the aurora things arrive in beta aswell??

[quick jasper]

How would I know I was accepted into beta testing (for pc)?

[gilded parrot]

@quick jasper, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!
💻 https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[upbeat inlet]

anyone applied for the testing qualification on steam？

[quick jasper]

Would I get an email.. or would it be something on the discord?

[sly arch]

TGC will ping Testers in #beta-announcements or #beta-signup-info if I remember, when they send the email.

And you should get an Email too.

[cerulean turtle]

Rahhhhh

[upbeat inlet]

they may receive an email and ping testers later today

[sly arch]

Reminder to Testers: Don’t forget to link your Beta account to Steam so you can access your beta account on PC

[quick jasper]

Really!! That soon? I was ready to wait a week-

[hot lily]

Beta testing on PC can this year get any better X3

[quick jasper]

Would connecting it to beta stop me from linking that same steam account to my main sky ? (After live release)

[upbeat inlet]

its just possible, or they will inform later this week. i hope to experience sky on pc with my friends asap

[indigo beacon]

Yee

[quick jasper]

I’m asking stupid question cause I’m very super excited to finally be off my phone// Consol

[sly arch]

No, linking your beta account does not affect your ability to link your Live Account to Steam.

I have link both my Beta and Live account to Steam and It did not have any problems

[late sonnet]

beta and live are two completely separate apps so I'd imagine steam would just run the same way between the beta and live version

[quick jasper]

Glad u said it, I didn’t even release I could link my account yet. Thank you!!

[strong sentinel]

As far as I know abot betas in steam we will get access to global app but it will only work on the “beta branch” which we will have to manually chose in settings of steam

This is how I usually beta tested games on steam

[visual onyx]

What if my steam acc different from beta account on my phone?

[strong sentinel]

You just go into beta app on your device rn and connect your steam account you intend to use for pc beta

[sly arch]

Btw, does anyone intended to Test Sky Beta on a Steam Deck?

[errant wadi]

I still don't understand, why the IAP of season of aurora decided to come back and not for example the TLP in sky?

[late sonnet]

liscencing and copyright

[ashen tusk]

I think this will only work if you get accepted into pc beta, you wouldn't be able to access beta without being in the programme specifically for pc

[gleaming flume]

Im done registed with the limited Beta on PC
So what we r gonna do is waiting for being accepted to be a tester ?

[visual onyx]

I see, thank you

[errant wadi]

Oh so like, aurora in some ways gave the permission to make come the IAP items of the season of aurora? Meanwhile with the TLP is more complicated right?

(Sorry if explained this message bad)

[late sonnet]

we don't know
they just had a collaboration with thatskyshop to have TLP collaboration merch, so there's that

[strong sentinel]

Tlp owners are quite litigious as far as I know, they really hold tight to the title

[timid bough]

yes, the extent of agreements of copyright material and their respective owners don't always stretch the same way, so just because one party does something does not mean the other is the same

[errant wadi]

Understood, If something else will come to my mind I will ask, thank you all for the responses and time

[hollow compass]

This isn’t really a beta topic. So you can ask in #questions-and-help

[errant wadi]

Oh alr, I did it here just in more "safe" case, thank you

[hollow compass]

These channels are for beta content, ie things being actively tested in the beta version of the game. Anything else, such as the return of Aurora concert in the Live game, belongs in Live channels

[errant wadi]

Then thank you for also telling this since I didn't know, if I have more questions I will ask in the live channels

[sly arch]

I see…

[cerulean hill]

PC beta applications

[topaz kiln]

How to get PC version

[topaz zodiac]

you have to apply first, there is a link in their blog post

[cerulean hill]

Look at the blog post in #news there’s a link there if you scroll down!

[dense hill]

Are there any specific things we have to test on pc beta?

[cerulean hill]

There’s a list of requirements your PC needs, and few others like being a part of this server and having @Beta Updates (Ping) role, if you go to the application form, they list everything they need from you

In the beta, you’ll only be focusing on the UI and things like that, not events etc since that’s covered by the main beta

[topaz kiln]

Do u have the link of that?btw how to get the link of ios i didn't see

[cerulean hill]

Sure! Here’s the link

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpZpkZNQWPBRE6lrrHrjp2OqWppN3mAu72RCvAYZb8S0JsLg/viewform?usp=send_form

[cerulean hill]

There is no iOS invite, this application is only for desktop PC beta

[topaz kiln]

#beta-announcements message it said opened

[cerulean hill]

Sorry I miss read,

That’s a beta update, if you are on the beta program, on iOS: TestFlight should automatically download new updates (you can do so manually), Android: I have no clue, I think you can update the app on the Google Play store?

Either way, these are only available for people already in the beta

[late sonnet]

the update channel will never tell you about invites
that's for the #beta-signup-info channel, which you need to grab the role in #beta-faq for.

[wooden bluff]

Keep forget this is the Gen chat for beta

[quiet obsidian]

no MacOS beta? damn i REALLY need a windows pc now

and what if that means mac players won’t be able to get sky???

[alpine junco]

do you have an intel mac or an apple silicon mac?

[hollow compass]

Unsure how that will work, because I do believe you can have Steam on a Mac
Wait, I just realised that the game itself is only available for PC

[quiet obsidian]

i’ll try and find out bc i don’t really know honestly
i know certain macs can play sky but i tried a long time ago and i couldn’t find out how

[alpine junco]

intel macs can bootcamp straight into windows, some macbooks and most desktop mac pros have AMD dedicated graphics that will be sufficient enough for the game
apple silicon macs can straight play the iOS port

[sly arch]

Currently, if you already in the Beta for iOS, you can download it to your Mac as long your Mac has an M1 or M2 chip. (Live works too but will be in the Mac App Store)

For Intel Macs, there is no official Intel version on TestFlight or Mac App Store, so you will need to install Windows 10 or 11 on your Mac and run Steam from there

• Please be mindful when installing Windows on Mac (i.e: Calculating your Storage Space, getting the ISO, checking the keyboard layout and Updating Windows), performance may vary depending on some Windows Update especially with the latest version (which requires 3 system restart to finish install)

[quiet obsidian]

ok this is too much hassle for me i’ve given up WHEEZE but ty for the help!

[alpine junco]

it really isnt hard

[ashen tusk]

I imagine if there's not an official way to access sky/beta via mac it's best to just not until tgc says otherwise

[late sonnet]

if they're looking to test PC and mac they would have had a mac beta to begin with
best to not try and skirt your way around it just to get into the beta testing

[quiet obsidian]

⬆️ this as well, im not gonna risk getting bonked just to play pc beta

[whole stump]

Unless they wanna get banned 😂

[alpine junco]

intel macs under the surface are like regular windows laptops really, you are just running a windows vm which is still a valid way to test

[ashen tusk]

chook v1 has been through too much to be taken out like that, stay with us here in mobile and maybe some day they'll drop a mac beta

Last thing I'll say on it - it might be valid to install windows on mac, but if tgc wanted mac users specifically then I'd imagine they'd include a mac sign up without requiring people to install windows, so until they express otherwise I'd just wait it out if you don't have a windows based pc

[shy pumice]

Can anyonen here help me with the sky beta pc applications?

guys so i was filling up the sky pc beta application and so i have a question.... do i have to put both and discord tag and UID together for example ( maxx@7165 754787944149287133)

[trim temple]

yeah, you have to do that

[shy pumice]

so i have to write that exactly?? Thank you so much

[foggy verge]

I havnt done that because discord removed it, I wrote ".saizo." does it works?

[foggy brook]

so excited for pc beta, hope I get picked

[radiant drum]

Discord discontinued discriminators (the # followed by 4 numbers), but you still have your user ID (a 17-18 number digit). You need to include both, the form has instructions on how to find yours

[foggy verge]

yeah I wrote ".saizo. 710036131630284872" its good ?

[strong sentinel]

I lost my discord discriminator not long ago so I just put my username and UID the way it was shown on example in the form

[late sonnet]

#beta-screenshots-videos message
I also threw together this guide for how to get the UID

[ashen tusk]

rip discord discriminators

I think they can still find people easily with UID so that's probably why they need that too

[foggy brook]

yeah, people can change their usernames but the UID never changes

[trim temple]

mhm! that's why those are commonly used instead of just usernames

[cerulean hill]

You can install windows on a Mac machine

There’s plenty of tutorials on YT and you can switch between MacOS and Windows any time, it’s kretynous to set up tho, so if you’re not comfortable with doing it, don’t risk it

If your Mac is recent enough an has an Intel chip rather than Apple silicon, it should have the specs for running Sky, whether you want to go through all that just to get on PC Beta is another question

[trim temple]

worst case scenario is doing all that then not getting selected

[vale wharf]

[cerulean hill]

Duejciwijx good point, I mean, having windows means you can play Steam games that aren’t on Mac, so it’s a win either way

[strong sentinel]

Please don't encourage people to find workarounds to get into PC beta.
TGC needs specific performance testing for devices with specific requirements.

[trim temple]

once sky goes live on pc that's useful info though

[cerulean hill]

I’m sure there’ll be a version for MacOS in the future anyway, probably no beta though since all the UIs etc will be universal and worked out already. Wouldn’t get your hopes up though since there’s a reason most games only come out on Windows

[strong sentinel]

I'm sure if tgc ever makes Mac testing - they'll make a dedicated launcher for that, don't worry

[cerulean hill]

Anyway, I think we’re all just excited to see the game we love coming to new platforms bringing more people to the game

[late sonnet]

Good ol' sassy round 5

[trim temple]

five ??? maybe it's a good thing i've only been around long enough to see one visit..

[delicate shuttle]

[late sonnet]

How many sassys old are everyone
I'm gonna be 3 sassys old soon

[trim temple]

what season did you first start playing during?

how many sassy visits have you lived through?

[strong sentinel]

I started at the season of prophecy and was such a lost moth I missed all the ults

[trim temple]

i started during tlp and missed, everything

i'm very upset about it but at least i have beckoning ruler's crown on both beta and live and feel complete

[foggy brook]

i'm just glad I won't have to have a ps4 on my desk just to play sky and my family can get it back too haha

[strong sentinel]

So many of ny friends may cone back because of PC platform

[foggy brook]

steam has built in controller support too so i hope sky takes advantage of that, even tho i might play with keyboard and mouse most of the time

[alpine junco]

i for sure will start playing, my phone and terrible mobile controls were the limiting factor

[spark lance]

Hello, my friend told me they saw on youtube that aurora wings might comd back on august, is this true? hopefully not… theyre like my biggest flex

Unluckily that won't change for people that can't buy iaps 😔

Returning limited items is a good thing for people who missed out
Though they're gonna add new stuff so rip everyone in general, emotionally

[proven axle]

Question
Is it safe to link my beta account to the same account I use on live? Or should I link it to a different one?

[trim temple]

it's safe! beta and live are two different apps, nothing bad will happen

[oak cloak]

just realized my pc doesnt barely meet the gpu requirements

[stray sorrel]

i honestly don't understand anything of the tech things of my pc, but i signed up for the beta on pc XD

[alpine junco]

wow what do you have?

[oak cloak]

Nvidia GeForce GTX 970

[alpine junco]

....you are way above minimum requirements

[whole stump]

Bro is intentionally flexing

[oak cloak]

im so confused

[burnt creek]

I think it will be able to download anyway, my pc meets all the requirements but the GPU one

But they were not specific at all about GPU, they just gave us two families of GPUs, while there are others out there

Laptops usually have the MX family and some of them are even more powerful than the minimum GPU they listed there

[alpine junco]

dont look at just the name, the GTX 970 is like over 2X faster than a GT 1030, with "double" the video memory to boot, you also cover all the directX and vulkan requirements

[burnt creek]

Do you think an GeForce MX250 will be able to run it?

[stoic badger]

The GPU requirements lack specifics as you have to try and compare relative power. The big point on compatibility is what Graphics APIs Sky requires as older graphics cards wont support newer APIs

[alpine junco]

that chip is on par with the minimum specified GT 1030

[oak cloak]

I dont understand it that well but its GTX 1030 not GT 1030 or does it not matter?

[stoic badger]

If you have a NVIDIA or AMD GPU made in the last 6 years you're 99.9% going to be fine, a GT 1030 is one of the cheapest GPUs and released in 2017.

[alpine junco]

GTX 1030 is a mistake on their part, it is actually called GT 1030, there are also two versions of it, a GDDR5 one and a DDR4 one, the DDR4 variant is WAY slower, do not assume they are referring to it

[burnt creek]

Thanks!!

So many pc experts here, wow!

I'm really happy i will be able to play sky on pc!

[oak cloak]

i see! tysm

[whole stump]

When sky will be launched to steam will it be free?

[chrome ivy]

No. Screw GT1030, It's the worst low profile GPU in the market.
Linus even review it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX4BEkNKxUc
If you just want a budget GPU, go for GTX 10 series, have better thermals and more power just enough for Sky (30 FPS maybe)

[stray sorrel]

my gpu is intel graphics so it's totally different XD

[stoic badger]

I didnt say to buy it (you shouldnt), just putting it into perspective and simplifying the discussion.

Instead of getting hung up on model numbers, just **consider whether your AMD or NVIDIA GPU was made in the last 6 years. If so, you're good to go 👍 **

[chrome ivy]

What Intel Graphics? The Arc or the Integrated? Integrated usually slower (Newer iGPU) to painfully slow (gen 3 gen 5 cpu's)

[late sonnet]

Y'all if you wanna fight over pc specs take it out of beta lol
Just focus on helping people fill in the form

[stray sorrel]

intel uhd graphics

[alpine junco]

be careful, radeon 520 exists

[burnt creek]

I think this discussion is important, but it doesn't need to become a fight, just needs to help people know if they have the specs to join the beta, or if they can afford something that runs it

If it's peaceful then there is no problem

Also Sorry for forgetting to turn off the ping

[chrome ivy]

It can run, but I wouldn't expect stable 30 FPS.

[late sonnet]

Please do not ping reply me
My nickname literally says so

[stray sorrel]

yeah i expected it XD

[burnt creek]

Yeah i forgor and i just added an apology to the message, my bad

[eternal mango]

Im just wondering if it will be able to run on steam deck qwq
I prefer playing with my deck instead of using my pc qwq

[alpine junco]

the deck will absolutely run sky no issues

[chrome ivy]

But you need gen 6 above intel that will support Vulkan 1.2.

[iron elbow]

the steam page says sky is windows only

[ashen tusk]

the sign up form stated windows 10/11 only too

[chrome ivy]

Proton Compatibility layer are useful for this case. As long as TGC allow us to run it on Steam Deck.
Also, with Steam direct support, Windows can be installed to deck.
@alpine junco And no, It's not emulation, like Linux Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator)

[alpine junco]

the deck has its own emulation layer that can run windows games very well or even better than native windows, if you really do not wanna play on linux, just install windows on your deck instead

[gilded parrot]

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

[burnt creek]

There's a macbook version that exists for more than 1 year now i think

[iron elbow]

yeah, it's not what we are testing

[ashen tusk]

Since it's not out yet and they're aiming to test specific specs they've asked for in the forms it's best to just wafo for other alternative ways to play - there might be ways for you to access windows on other devices sure, but it's not relevant here as tgc require specific pc testers

and as skybot said any e wording to play sky is against ToS

[alpine junco]

steam deck and any other handheld testing like with the ally or GPD winmax will be of huge help considering that market has exploded with casuals

[burnt creek]

Oh im Sorry i misunderstood your message, you wanted to play it on linux? (I always forget linux exists 😭)

[woeful flint]

me dual booting windows on my deck >.>

[chrome ivy]

Installing Windows on Steam Deck instead as it was officially supported, and the CPU is x86 not ARM. Not a problem if the game runs natively. Linux also have a advantage on Windows by having less bloatware, means better experience.

[iron elbow]

I meant linux, yeah, cause it's what steam deck's native os is based on
guess we'll hear about this in a qna or something

[woeful flint]

if anything you can test some protons with it if you do get in, but it's not difficult to dual boot windows but it's still something that takes a little more work due to partitioning

[ashen tusk]

Fantastic, but it's not what tgc have asked for in their pc sign up so it's not particularly relevant to beta chat

[burnt creek]

Love the positivity

I dont own anything linux, I just hope you guys get to do some cool gaming stuff

[chrome ivy]

I mean, because steam deck is a PC just for gaming, with Linux and steam does officially port Windows to deck with it's driver. Same as ROG ally

[exotic wigeon]

anyone else having trouble signing up for Sky PC beta? I'm unable to complete the forum because it doesnt recognise my Discord username, even with the # and numbers

[woeful flint]

I think they are just saying you can install windows on a deck which will be able to work with sky once youre on windows, im personally dual booting windows on my deck and it's been a great experience

[burnt creek]

Depends of the hardware the steam deck, if it meets the minimum requirements it's worth testing if you have one, it Will be the same as testing on pc!

[left quest]

Your username doesn’t have a discriminator, so you wouldn’t need to put the #1234 thing on it! Is that what you’re having troubles with?

[iron elbow]

did you include the user id

[exotic wigeon]

for some reason, neither my regular Discord name or legacy name are valid

[ashen tusk]

I'ma bow out then cause I'm just reminding y'all if it's not already listed amongst the requirements for the pc beta then it's not relevant here for now good luck to everyone applying for a pc beta spot though!

[burnt creek]

You need your UID

Should be like this

tobiobi 896471117869494333

@exotic wigeon

[chrome ivy]

As the Steam Deck uses custom AMD CPU with 8 RDNA GPU, and the GPU can run triple AAA games, it's possible.

[exotic wigeon]

ty ty

[iron elbow]

sky id has nothing to do with the application, they need your discord uid

[stray sorrel]

sorry but what's the meaning of putting the UID in the form? i never used it honestly XD

[left quest]

Probably just to verify that you’re in the server when you apply, or at least that’s one of the possible reasons.

[stray sorrel]

also, what's vulkan 1.2? do i have to download it now?

[dire fox]

As an ex mac user, I feel bad for yall

[exotic wigeon]

cant get UID to work. my disc is cursed

[wise crag]

Hi

[kind steeple]

OMG THE AURORA CONCERTS ARE COMING BACK???

[whole stump]

Yeah you can also buy the iaps

[kind steeple]

AS SOMEONE WHO IS OBESSED WITH SEASON OF AURORA THIS IS AMAZING

[stray sorrel]

I KNOW, IMMA SCREAM, but i don't have money for wings of aurora 😭

[burnt creek]

If the devs can't find you by your username (the old user#2834 allows custom words so it's hard to find) they can use the UID

[burnt creek]

Mac is different than windows and Windows it's a more specific target than MAC, way more people have windows and ask for the windows Version, but most people don't even know there is a mac version, that's why it doesn't receive the same attention as other platforms, nor the same optimizations

[kind steeple]

AAAA I KNOW I LOVE THE CONCERTSSS

[oak cloak]

did you turn developer mode on and stuff?

[dire fox]

I know this thank you

[burnt creek]

I gave your UID to you!

Just copy and paste this:

tobiobi 896471117869494333

The UID is the number only, tobiobi is your username

[exotic wigeon]

omg tysm! sorry i thought it was just an example XD

[pastel pollen]

for anyone struggling to get discord uid its in
settings -> under app settings -> advanced -> turn on developers mode
make sure you go somewhere where you can see your profile and right click [desktop] on your username and click "copy user id" !!

[oak cloak]

on moblie its the same process, just go on your profile, then click on the 3 dots :3

[burnt creek]

:3

[pastel pollen]

if anyones still stuck lmk and ill message with screenshots of how to get there since i dont think i can send any images in this channel

[woeful flint]

hopefully us mac users can get a beta version 😭 i dont see why not it's just the ipad version of the game running on mac

[whole stump]

Testing on windows is easier

[slate fog]

where can i join the pc beta? Or is it not avalable yet?

[gilded parrot]

@slate fog, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!
💻 https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[slate fog]

oh there isnt a mac one yet 😭

[woeful flint]

Though i dont think it would be very much different than how testing is on ios or ipad 🥲

[whole stump]

iOS has limited beta space that is the reason it takes them so long for an beta invite wave to come

[tribal carbon]

Did TGC ever stop to think how upset the people who bought the items during Aurora live season will feel bringing it back after the season ended. Yet, have made no decisions to bring back other season items, (example little prince cape or fox). For years you told us there was copyright issues and you can’t bring items back once a season ends. Yet, you just broke that rule and returning the most expensive season yet in sky history 6 months after it’s release. I’m not okay with this update coming. We purchase items during the season because we are told it will never be available again. So, why bring back a season and not bring back other seasons?

[woeful flint]

Because of copyright. these things can change as nothing is set in stone, new deals can be worked out between the developer and the collaborative party. these things cant just happen, these are properties owned by other people. If TGC were to bring back unapproved iAP they could get sued or other issues that may come up from doing that.

[opaque shell]

i personally missed everything so i think it might be a good idea

[tribal carbon]

It’s not a good idea to return 1 season and not any other season

[dry ibex]

Feeling upset because other people now have the opportunity to enjoy items items?

[opaque shell]

not returning all others sure, but im all for returning seasons and making ults available for everyone as long as they put in the work! i went on a huge hiatus during performance and came back at the very end of aurora

[whole stump]

They are upset because it was supposed to be a limited edition item

[tribal carbon]

I’m not happy it’s only 6 months later and it’s returning when no other season items has returned. If people wanted Aurora so badly they should have purchased it during the season like players have in previous seasons.

[ashen tusk]

They're not bringing back a season, they're bringing back items from that season that have obviously been recontract with the collaborating party (i.e. aurora and her team) for a new period of time

[gilded parrot]

shards, you keep me crawling on my knees

[woeful flint]

Exactly, this is for Gamescom, to break the previous record again by getting the most people in the concert space and bringing back iAP will help facilitate more people joining than before.

[opaque shell]

not everyone has money at the right moment

[worldly creek]

I think if they going to do that, we ask that old ultimate rewards and all IAPs from TLP should return sometimes in the future. It ironic how a lot of people on here claim to know copyright, but the truth is TGC can bring whatever cosmetics they want from the past to the live version.

[tribal carbon]

Aurora was advertised 2-3 months before it’s actual release and sound Christmas, they knew what they was doing. People would have money or gift money from Christmas. That’s not a excuse why it’s returning again.

[ashen tusk]

It's also up to TGC and Aurora/team to decide what they can and can't return, you may not like it, but limited items can always return if and when those collaborating are both open for that to happen.

Not everybody has money at the same time, if ever, and not everybody celebrates holidays like Christmas so that's not really relevant.

[woeful flint]

Some people just wanna hate tgc for the sake of hating tgc lol

[fallow marsh]

Aurora's season is coming back...?

[opaque shell]

speaking from here, the prices are example 25 usd for the aurora cape, but converted into my currency AS WELL as the app store heightening prices it became a whopping 33 cad dollars!!!!! which is really expensive here

[whole stump]

Imo TGC is a very good company and cares for f2p players as they give game pass items for free after some months still many people hate them I don't understand why?

[dry ibex]

Yeah, so that doesn’t change. If someone is angry just because other people get to enjoy items they missed out on, maybe a game about friendship, connection and equality is not for them

[tribal carbon]

I’m upset TGC lied to the players that items will not return once a season is over and now they are returning. What else will change that they promise won’t happen?

[fallow marsh]

Some items from aurora,will come back on live or beta?

[gilded parrot]

just reach out for The Light

[ashen tusk]

When companies say limited edition items it doesn't strictly mean they'll never be around again, it just means at the time of their release that's their intention, especially collaboration pieces, because that's what they've agreed upon legally. That doesn't mean that deals can't be struck at a later time regarding those same items, that's how business works.

[woeful flint]

skybot eating popcorn over here

[dry ibex]

The specifics on why Aurora IAP’s are coming back and not TLP IAP’s have been mentioned above. Sagomay also reacted saying it’s an entirely different IP

[whole stump]

You need to understand that aurora was a collaborative season and don't have full control over it also they aren't returning the season just the iaps

[tribal carbon]

They are returning some of the season items like the 200 candle pants Aurora gave. That was not a in app purchase.

[viscid sundial]

I don't get why it's such a big deal that the items are returning? They'll still be limited. It'll just give newer players, and players that didn't have enough money/candles another opportunity to get those items. Why the gatekeeping??

[static river]

You act like these are going to be free handouts
People still have to spend their candles/money to obtain them

[woeful flint]

i believe this will be as thanks for those participating in the event, they are also giving us a free emote and a new item that will come back.

[spark lance]

Boi. They're the devs, they didn't lie, they just had a change of plans. And they have the right to be able to do what they want with their game.

[whole stump]

Now you have grudge on f2p items too? 💀

[worldly creek]

The whole community is aware that Aurora cosmetics are coming back (we read the news). I am just shocked that so many people on here claim to know copyright but in fact TGC can change the narrative on their end whatever they want to bring certain items back.

[thin sedge]

i don't see anything wrong with the items returning, why are they mad?

[trim temple]

uh oh i think we woke up the entitled vets

[tribal carbon]

If they can bring back Aurora they can bring back little prince

[viscid sundial]

They want to gatekeep items lmao

[stuck rose]

I wonder if they updated their license
That made it possible

[static river]

@tribal carbon Did you just decide to not read this at all?

[cursive tinsel]

Anyway....so which mini games are going to make it through to the finale?
Can the canvas really work with 10000 people?

[spark lance]

No they can't, it's not that simple, they're both completely different IPS with different owners with different minds.

[whole stump]

Selfish players like them are not worth the time

[dry ibex]

Just so you know, TGC never promised players these items would never return.

The wording is different: (paraphrase) “these limited items are not scheduled to return in the foreseeable future”. This leaves leeway, and a possibility of these items to return, though TGC can’t state when and if that will happen.

TGC never lied

[ashen tusk]

They will have or they couldn't return the items at all

[tribal carbon]

I read it and it doesn’t make any sense if they can change there rules to bring back season items from Quests Spirits and In app purchases than they can do it for any and all Seasons past and future.

[worldly creek]

For me, it false advertisement. I remember when I played Aurora, we were told that the items were limited. It just shocked that they would bring these cosmetics back. We don’t mind other players have access to them. We just ask that other TLP cosmetics or even ultimate rewards be brought back too if Aurora could be brought back. Again, TGC can always change their narrative on their end to fit their profit mission.

[woeful flint]

I think so! It will be with Nastymold on twitch so she will be telling us what to do during the minigames!

[stuck rose]

Happy to leave in foreseeable future

[radiant drum]

Hello all Reminder this channel is for chatting about Beta topics. Discussions regarding Live announcements, including the recent news of the Aurora encore concerts, should be taken to channels like #general-sky-discussion, #cozy-sky-discussion or even #seasons-events-chat— regardless if you feel positive or negative about it

[trim temple]

please take a moment to calm down. this really isn't worth getting steamed over not to mention ruining your rep on this server for

[dry ibex]

If you feel a certain way about items returning, you can mention it in #live-feedback or #wishlist-and-ideas-archived - otherwise devs won’t see it.

Oop sorry Miri, I’m leaving it at that!

[whole stump]

Yeah we were doing that but someone just decide to act selfish

[cursive tinsel]

I'm just hoping they have new mechanics to clear the canvas and get people to follow directions.

Tug of war sounds easier by far

[radiant drum]

We don’t yet know if we’re gonna be testing that out in Beta, while any discussion about the new minigames we did test are okay to discuss here. But general feelings about cosmetic availability is too broad of a topic

[woeful flint]

yeah! I liked the polls too

[ashen tusk]

Hoping we get a doot soon with the pc beta so we have more to talk about again

[static river]

Has anybody gotten into the pc beta yet that we know of?

[whole stump]

Don't think so

[spark lance]

This is the last thing based around that one thing ima mention, but they also need to keep in mind this isn't an exact re-run of the concerts. There's apparently gonna be new items and a new emote judging by the news tgc put out.

[viscid sundial]

I'm guessing it'll take a while for tgc to send out emails with steam keys

[trim temple]

i would assume quite a few people applied for the pc beta

also buying limited items just to feel "special" and better than everyone who missed out is dumb

[static river]

When it comes time for that, it's a separate account from your main one, right? Like idk how exactly this works, but I know people have main accounts and beta accounts

[woeful flint]

i hope so, i am thinking this week or next for a doot but you never know!

[radiant drum]

Once people start getting invites for the PC Beta, they might share something in #beta-announcements / #beta-signup-info. Or at least, there will be plenty of chatter about it here

[viscid sundial]

Yes, beta and live are completely separate games. You can use the same email youve used in live in beta (or whatever other linking method youve used), but the accounts won't be connected

[woeful flint]

I believe Sago did confirm they are working on a connection to connect the beta accounts together but we shall see when we cross that bridge haha

[stuck rose]

Now i have just a little belief of that the rarest event item might return one day
i will hope to see white flower of days of healing again

[trim temple]

i wonder if pc sky will have a iap pack limited to it not sure what it could include though

[viscid sundial]

I'm guessing it'll have something to do with the steam linking method, since that's available now

[woeful flint]

im hoping it's the steam 'valve' head accessory but wafo 😎

sorry for ping!!

[rigid panther]

Or maybe a new camera

[trim temple]

i'm still placing my bets on an igc pair of fairy wings for when the AURORA concert comes back- i'm still dreaming big there

but yeah! a cosmetic pack or something small to say "i got this on steam" would be pretty neat

[flint horizon]

Hello everyone ! Just wanna know about people using cloud gaming as GeForce now to play steam games. Can they proceed to the beta test program?

[undone mirage]

As the room went silent

[stoic badger]

Id side against no, as they'll want specific details of your computer when debugging issues

[half kestrel]

Go to the form and check the required computer details

[woeful flint]

technically it would work but i would say it's not really the ideal testing environment for beta as it's not your native computer

[flint horizon]

That’s the thing it will have in a way the required configuration yes, but not really 😅

[flint horizon]

Kinda agree but it may not be a bad thing to test cloud gaming environment as well... better know if there is any issues about that

[terse sluice]

any idea how I can check if my gpu supports vulkan 1.2 without going on my pc? im not home till tmrw and so far I managed to check my directx version and if it has avx2 by looking up my gpu (which does check out apparently), only thing im unsure about now is about the vulkan support (I have amd ryzen 3 5300u iirc (yeah its a laptop))

[leaden oak]

Tgc better add better graphics effects like realtime shadows, better lighting etc. ofc it’s a pc not mobile

[spark lance]

Doooot

[chrome ivy]

"RTX"

[leaden oak]

Yeah that too ! I have an Rtx 3060 lol

[ashen tusk]

0.22.5 doot includes testing for:

• new events
• updates and improvements for world notes
• other bug fixes and improvements

[dry ibex]

omgggggg doooooooooooooooooot

[toxic spruce]

Are we testing summer events already?!

[spark lance]

Currently eating 6 years expired sunflower seeds as I wait for Google play to give me the doot

[leaden oak]

NEW EVENTS !!!?!

[chrome ivy]

Yeah, as long as it support DirectX 12 or 11,Vulkan are generally support out of box

[wheat panther]

Beta players unite!

[ashen tusk]

about a third of the way through the update, praying I have enough storage cause I don't wanna start over - feels like a chonky doot

[dry ibex]

same here 😭

[sudden pine]

oh man! a dort while the kids are at the library !

[chrome ivy]

No, it's impossible to play Sky on GFN, as it wasn't supported by devs out of box. Until then, you need to wait long enough to have Sky on GFN.

[steel edge]

Guys, do yall know how long does it take for tgc to reply with the email code for beta on pc?
Any estimated time?

[gilded parrot]

@steel edge, you can learn more information about the PC Beta and how to apply in the link below!
💻 https://bit.ly/SkyGamesCom

[glass spoke]

doot

[chrome ivy]

Doubt, 1 week or 3. As TGC doesn't really need much tester and I can see TGC mostly need players with good English to give feedback

[wheat panther]

Summer event! Sand is back home

[steel edge]

Hmmm okay

[chrome ivy]

Besides, they also might also choose people with more knowledge about PC.

[steel edge]

Are you saying my English is bad or that i don't know ab pc?
Just curious, cuz I think I'm not getting the message here...

[wheat panther]

Lots of iaps to test! Says it’s free until 11 days from now. Omg one of the event guides’ code string says “name_questfashion” :0

[dry ibex]

excuse meeeeee what kind of speedy internet yall got

[zenith lynx]

Oh no, tgc have mercy on my wallet for once..

[frosty trout]

[dry ibex]

woaaaaaaah does anyone see the closets in hermit valley? The temporarily available cosmetics?????

[woeful flint]

[gilded basin]

[daring geode]

Anyone know why my beta isn’t showing the guide yet? It said its updated, but its not showing- I’m on iOS if that helps

[woeful flint]

oh my, the excitement

[daring geode]

(225215)
I don’t know what the build number is so I apologize if I get it wrong

[spark lance]

ohy my god i broke chuckle they evaporated goodbye

[radiant drum]

That’s the build number! But that is a past build, most event recent one should be 0.22.5 (226102). Maybe try quitting and opening TestFlight again?

[proud coral]

At first I really didn’t like the pants but the more I tried them on with other things, I now love them. same with the glasses?? They don’t seem super “sky” but I’m glad we’re getting fun events where things aren’t so serious. Just us and some goofy looking cosmetics to play with

[woeful flint]

same he's jumping around everywhere

[spark lance]

chuckle ran into the floor for me-

[white sparrow]

I’m all for retro baggy pants 👖

[daring geode]
