beta-discussion

[mortal robin]

So basically. Close eyes and just push thru it 🤨

[sudden pine]

i've done orbit with kaiju aurora so many times it feels weird without her

[mortal robin]

TQ for full details.

[late sonnet]

please turn off ping reply if you're responding to my messages

[mortal robin]

Sure...how? O see it 👍

It's a bug. Should move to bottom of screen. Good call.

[crimson hollow]

hi i just wanna ask if the days of fortune drum is iap or bought with candles? i saw a tgc tweet with it so i just wanted to ask

[dry ibex]

Oh Cy, lol! I assumed it would be active. IAPs not in shop when you’re in aviary?

[late sonnet]

no, just the past IGC

[dry ibex]

Oop

[late sonnet]

notes also say this

⚠️Bloom is in a WIP state, and new/returning cosmetics will be added later. In the meantime, we’re looking especially for feedback on the event gameplay.⚠️

like I have the past IAP but usually an empty shop menu would show up if that was the case
instead the mannequins in the event shop show the IGC tree progression per cape

[sudden pine]

thought we started in the middle of it but it seems like the tree in forest is back to the beginning of the event with no petals on it ?

[ashen tusk]

we started in the final phase and it was meant to start over on Monday? lemme go reread cause I could be lying

[burnt creek]

Did anyone else get this issue with android recordings? #beta-screenshots-videos message

[ashen tusk]

Okay update we started in ONE of the final stages but I misread as the final stage and based on the tickets it appeared to be phase 3?

And we're meant to go into phase 1 on Tuesday but beta schedules wonky I guess?

[dry ibex]

I think this isn’t uncommon - I’ve seen a couple of android friends also having this… experience the first few times.

As this is a new feature, I hiiiiighly recommend bug reporting everything you think is not intentional

[late sonnet]

prairie peaks starts in the final stages but forest (which is running wisteria) is going its own funny track rn
everywhere else also looks relatively final-ish

[ashen tusk]

I'm so confused doot notes are so long the info isn't being retained in brain

[sudden pine]

well, hard to know if someething is a bug just for me, or bug everyone sees, or just intended but weird scheduling

[drowsy fiber]

Am I missing something or are there only 3 tickets plus the guide one? (I will go look for myself, don't worry, just wondering whether anyone managed to get 5.)

[late sonnet]

4 on the water, 1 after interacting with guide

[drowsy fiber]

Looks like I missed a water one... Back to looking there, thanks!

[late sonnet]

I do also need to feedback about how they were very not visible to see so

[maiden pond]

I feel like they were easy to see, they periodically made a call when you were further away.

[sudden pine]

yea they sort of make a call but they are hard to see; I'm kind of annoyed that the other flowers are calla lillies cuz they don't grow like lilly pads like that

[late sonnet]

The problem is that they're both tiny and also the same bright close to white colour as the wax and particles floating over the water so they are just difficult to spot in that way
Like there's a lot of visual noise going on

[drowsy fiber]

I agree cy, I keep mistaking the callas for the water lilys...

[sudden pine]

i would like them to all be lotus flowers and the tickets be big pink ones or something

[drowsy fiber]

Yes, great thought!!

[sudden pine]

also the rainbow if you fly into it as a kid takes your flight controls away ?

[ashen tusk]

I found the tickets surprisingly easy for this event, but I can see how they might be difficult to spot for others

[safe arch]

are there any new cosmetics for the days of bloom?

huh

[fair glade]

They'll be added later as stated in #beta-announcements

[safe arch]

oh shoot myb

[dry ibex]

Oh yeah! What are your thoughts on the changes to the map shrines? Are they clear for you / do you think it’s a good change?

I also haven’t had the time yet to fully look into them - does the ❗️disappear when you finish the quest?

[late sonnet]

There is curiously the placeholder aurora ult cape + laidback pioneer umbrella on the guide atm though so that could be something to hint at what could be added later

[gilded basin]

lily pad umbrella perhaps....... 😳 i'll just have to wafo i guess 🧇

[late sonnet]

God squeak it's been wishlisted since the year bloom started

[oak lynx]

They made the shell orange....
It was better as a white shell
Is it temporary?

[fast skiff]

It could just be a bug with the coloring. There have been similar issues with other cosmetics in the past as well.

[odd lintel]

Hoping for lotus wings as the cape this year, they’d probably make it take half the event to collect tickets for but oh well And I’d also love a lilypad umbrella with a lotus on top of it, that’d be really cute

[wary hollow]

okay but hear me out. lily pad hat.

[chrome oriole]

And what about he camping event? Isnt it going now? and how do you get up there? There are never 8ppl in my server to open the door. Is there a teleport area?

[odd lintel]

You can teleport there by the Scaredy Cadet outside the event shop in Aviary

[chrome oriole]

Ur awesome thank you!

[delicate mason]

I was thinking about a lotus cape, but it occurred to me that a lotus cape has already come out this year. If course it's a special IAP cale, but I do think it may lower the chances of a lotus cape for bloom.

So I realised it's probably a lily cape.

And if the aurora wings are anything to go off since they are a placeholder we might be getting big/fairy shaped wings. Take that with a massive grain of salt though as placeholders can be revealed to be entirely different to the actual content

[odd lintel]

A pair lily flower wings would be really cool

[drowsy fiber]

(Kind of off-topic but which cape are you talking about with the lotus cape?)

[sudden pine]

deer radiance i assume

[drowsy fiber]

Oh, that is a lotus cape? Makes sense actually, now that I think about it...

[gilded tree]

🧇

[delicate mason]

Not to say a lotus cape is out of the question, but at this stage in beta let's keep our minds open coz we have simultaneously a lot to go off and nothing at all so all we can do is squash some bugs and give feedback while we wafo

[shy ore]

Oooh, the WAFO Founder is back, how ya doin? (Reaction answers only)

[compact trench]

Is the ticket from interacting with a guide a one time only thing? I got it yesterday, but today she just shows me her umbrella 🤔

[analog citrus]

Hmmm… I’m pretty sure I got one from her today

[cold raptor]

Hey for those that have access to the PC beta and has a Nvidia gpu, is taking pictures on the camera finally fixed?

[earnest pawn]

I can only find 4 flowers in peaks and I got the spell from the spirit guide. Am I missing something? Do I need to go to aviary for the 5th one?

[upbeat ore]

There's four on lillipads and one from interacting with the guide 🤔

[cinder gulch]

I love how over-complicated betas updates are and then we have like a 2 months break only to have another 'Bug fix improvement!'

[earnest pawn]

Ok well I did interact with the guide and I only could get 4 from the lilypads

[upbeat ore]

I was able to get all five before. Someone else was talking about the guide not giving one, so maybe some changes on the game's side?

[earnest pawn]

Hmm or a bug. Thanks!

[upbeat ore]

Yeah, better to report it as a bug

[sudden pine]

One of them is off in the distance away from the main bunch of lily pads

[wheat panther]

Is anyone experiencing server errors at the wisteria event? I went in and got the error. I reloaded Sky using my regular login and Sky was showing me the beginning of the game as if I was a moth. I closed it. Logged in with my regular login and it shows me as a moth at home with every realm open and closets empty. Really hoping it’s my internet and not that my account has been erased.

[sullen relic]

Don't think it's just the Wisteria event; think the beta server started acting up within the last 5-10 minutes (was doing something else unrelated with no issues until just a few minutes ago).

Edit: yup, server's definitely playing up -- now it's loaded me in like I'm a newbie viewing the new intro cutscene...before crashing about 10 seconds later.

[regal niche]

same
definitely server issues

[glacial storm]

So I'm not sure what happened but either the update or the server errors but my controller no longer works with Beta Sky

[static hamlet]

I have had a few problems moving my skid as well. Near the bloom guide and just now at the end of Eden.

[glacial storm]

Also my menu for emotes is completely gone

[unkempt coral]

yeah every piece of the ui keeps disappearing for me about 10 seconds after I enter the game 🙁 I can view it once and then it’s gone. and any light I collect doesn’t collect unless I exit the game and re-enter. beta is completely unplayable for me right now 😦 there are server errors but that’s the least of the issues on my end

I wanna test but playing is completely impossible 😥

[woeful flint]

i would say they could be applying backend patches to the beta servers? but i am getting similar connection issues, i would say its break time lol

[hollow compass]

it's really late Saturday (almost Sunday) and I doubt they're prioritising work on beta
come back next week instead

[silent lotus]

Hey guys does anyone had this problem like me, my game doesn't show any button so i can't interact with anything

[woeful flint]

Servers are wacky rn, best to check later

[tawny shale]

Awh man I was going to do my dailies now since I have some free time but I guess not

[simple spoke]

Same

[inner compass]

You can still do dailies tho, just the prompt won't show up if you completed it. But you can still claim the sc

[tawny shale]

I can’t even log in 😭

[inner compass]

Oh😭

[spark lance]

Hi, i was wondering if anyone can get 5tickets today? I could only get 4 that were placed in the area. I interacted with bloom spirit but i don't get ticket from her. Or did i have to do something else?

[spark lance]

Yes, i turn off my internet connection and after that, the buttons are finally showing up, then i reconnect internet

[ashen tusk]

I think yesterday it appeared for me by just interacting with the button to open the guide tree, but the day before it only appeared after I emoted the butterfly emote with the guide which the prompt should appear a little while after you first interact - could try both ways and see if it works?

[inner compass]

Thank youuuu you're a life saver 😭

[silent lotus]

Hmmm idk if it will work for me but hopefully it will

[brittle patrol]

Finally, Days Of Bloom

[wooden bluff]

GUYS I CAN'T ACCESS THE STORE

[earnest lily]

Umm.. Does anybody know why my Sky keeps crashing and getting bug?

[flint lance]

beta being beta

[earnest lily]

It kills me like fr, it's the 4th time i rejoined to sky

[gilded falcon]

Still error

[earnest lily]

Now i can't log into it, when the cutscene of the new season came up, it crashed and logged out from the game

[flint lance]

i just got stuck spinning in the water under the aviary map with the hopeful steward

[earnest lily]

It happened to me once then i decided to rejoin

[misty bone]

I also got newbie cutscene but i didnt crash (probably coz i force close app as i was lost ), no dailies at old home or aviary >_>

[chrome oriole]

Did everyone else get the 5th ticket? I found 4 in water. But nothing when I interact with the guide. I open her tree she stands up and opens her umbrella,I use emotes. I use the butterfly emote after she sits back down. But nothing

[ashen tusk]

I guess it could be bugged today, might be best to bug report for now!

For the people trapped in aviary loop do you guys have aviary set as your default load?

[dry ibex]

I’m also curious how did you guys manage to get in the intro

[ashen tusk]

rattles cage let me in the intro

[analog bone]

Can’t go to old home from aviary, the return shrine no sit sign. Can’t get daily quest and game shut down after that

[signal tiger]

I kept logging in and out of the game and it's a different intro bug and upon fourth login i was in normally but no ui🤣

[buoyant berry]

Every ui apart flying toggles are missing to me too

[ashen tusk]

Bug report! Seems like a lot of people are affected by UI vanishing

I can't believe reset came and stole all the buttons

[analog bone]

Bloom guide cave no sit sign to teleport too

[vocal moat]

Someone, it's not related to the event, but I don't know where to write it... Where is it written that the piggyback rocket will disappear in beta? There was a lot of buzz on Twitter.

[buoyant berry]

I tried buying one ticket from the boat which is the only thing I can do with the ui, but I spent 6🕯️ (ui of my inventory popped on the screen but only regular currencies) and no ticket received

[placid iron]

I JUST HEARD THAT ANDROIDS IN GAME RECORDER FINALLY WORKS IS THIS TRUE 🏃

[signal tiger]

We wanted a recording without ui now the whole game is without ui🤣

[ashen tusk]

sky hard mode just dropped, you cannot communicate through anything but honks and you can only jump and fly, no interacting with friends or spirits or doors

[misty bone]

u can communicate as long your friend is trying to type, can click on the ... on their head to try chat

[placid iron]

oh my god the model bug on the passage pants 💀

[misty bone]

how did u guys can finally record when there is no ui at all? the recording function didnt work for me previously as well as it didnt allowed me to save in my phone, kept asking me to save in cloud

[ashen tusk]

I'd guess external screen recording

I still have buttons never mind connection error stole them

[shy ore]

Wha happen?

[ashen tusk]

Beta be betaing

[flint lance]

your turn was over, tgc said you have to share

[misty bone]

skybot, did you ate up valley's realm door?

[ashen tusk]

Oho okay so I still have buttons to collect the season candle and light regular candles

Can't interact with spirits or med circles though

[misty bone]

I can't really do much in aviary since it went into beginner stage now even when i completed it previously. Trying to complete the door-opening will result in app crashing. I cant do current event at the moment since i am unable to access prairie peaks

[gilded parrot]

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

[ashen tusk]

I haven’t experienced the aviary restart or the new intro somehow, I’m not sure what triggers it but I can’t really do anything else currently with the UI bug cause I’m not even sure if candle running is registering so I guess I’ll bug report from yesterday and take a break from beta today

[glossy vapor]

Anyone else playing for like 2 minutes then crash since they updated the game

[misty bone]

now my sky is in beginner stage again. i guess i only can wait till dev fixed it.

[signal tiger]

Everyone else is like that😅
Let's wait for fixes

[ashen tusk]

You know what I’m most sad about is that the buttons being gone means I can’t change my pants and now I don’t get to enjoy the silly biblically accurate sky kid bug

[flint lance]

this is actually the only reason i tried to get into beta earlier

[wooden bluff]

Sooo beta still broken

[ashen tusk]

yes, always and forever broken

Alrighty so to escape the UI-less bug if you log in, experience the connection error, turn your WiFi off, hop into a new realm and turn your WiFi back on you should be able to get the UI back!

[dry ibex]

Is the event over for anyone else

[drowsy fiber]

Still active here, I just got server errors instead. Looks like beta is beta again...

Also, my UI is gone (with the exception of the walking and flying buttons). Looks like that's a common issue right now though.

[ember cedar]

question but is anyone else having trouble with the keyboard keys not working in sky pc?

[ashen tusk]

Try this! #beta-discussion message

[drowsy fiber]

Thanks! I'll try later once I don't get server communication issues anymore.

[misty bone]

tried but my ui still gone. probably skill issue. www

[odd anchor]

happened to me when i was stuck in aviary loop. controller works but i can't interact with anything (be it using keyboard or controller) idk about the mouse tho

[drowsy fiber]

Has anybody figured out how the daily quest spirits are supposed to work? Do I have to set aviary as my home to see them? Couldn't find anyone despite looking for them both yesterday and today (though yesterday might have been due to having already activated the quests).

[dry ibex]

I activated the quests and was able to see them regardless! Did you finish the quests in Aviary?

[drowsy fiber]

All but the passage/masks shop one.

[dry ibex]

I mean today the beta is quite bugged so it may have something to do with the bugs, but that’s really weird

[ashen tusk]

I saw them on my alt the other day and I only reached the eden quest there, but I haven't seen any today on my main and I don't know if it's cause I don't have aviary set as home or if beta just beta

[drowsy fiber]

Yesterday I figured I'd just check again today, it was late... Today, I am not sure what is a bug and what is caused by other bugs so no clue where to start reporting.

[dry ibex]

In other news: anyone able to find the 5th ticket?

[drowsy fiber]

Which 5th one? Season spirit or one of the floating ones?

[dry ibex]

Spirit one, if it is that! As were in a different phase

[drowsy fiber]

Oh, I'll check! Yesterday it pretended to make it appear each time I called the butterfly, let's see what happens today.

(Oh, can't warp...)

I can't find it either.

[dry ibex]

Okay! Bugged

[drowsy fiber]

Most likely.

Does anyone else keep getting server errors? Or is just my wifi a little annoying right now?

[cinder gulch]

That actually has a meaning

[whole radish]

I just came in here to ask the same

[whole plank]

yes, I get a server error after a while of logging in. Then the UI including the wedge, disappears and I can hardly do anything

[whole radish]

Rip 😭 also I haven’t played beta for a hot minute so idk if it’s normal but when I open the game it keeps taking me to the “At last, child. Rescue us from this darkness” cutscene thing 💀

[fluid pebble]

There are lots of bugs in the new update 🌚

[somber ether]

Indeed...I'm in the same situation, plus...I bought "Gift of the Nine-Colored deer" pack just a day before the mask is added and now there is no way I can get the mask 🥲

[idle nexus]

Beta be betaing. I got an error and now it freezes at the start screen. I'm going to wait a bit before trying again.

[thorny field]

Can't cr and get the event wings and hair because beta is bugging

[misty bone]

1 event ticket from guide is missing, only the guide tickets seemed to be registered but not wax from white candles / seasonal candles

gt the dailies from old home but i cant see the new dalies hint in shrine map even uncompleted. probably have to do with different home being set as default.

[cinder gulch]

Any1 having a bug where you're stuck with revival guide at the beginning and can't go any further because of a windfall?

[desert token]

has anyone found a way to finesse meditation circles into working without pressing sit? I tried closing the app and making my character sit that way but doesn’t seem effective

[misty bone]

@desert token this seemed to work after a couple of tries

[brittle patrol]

Bugs everywhere

[silk rock]

The candle and wing light (wedges) icons suddenly disappeared in my case—

[desert token]

will try it again then, just got so frustrated because my game also tends to freeze when I switch apps 🗿 but I want those tickets

[thorny field]

I guess I won't do my cr today

[pure sand]

The beta is crashing everytime

[strong sentinel]

I'm just stuck in a loop of Aviary first revival quest :'D
Also it plays its last firework quest cutscene at the same time

[buoyant flax]

Does anyone have a problem with the 8-player puzzle area? We can see players up there while we are down waiting for players to light the puzzle

[misty bone]

8 player puzzle area never have enough people in beta, you use the warp portal from the aviary to get to event area i made the same mistake previously too

[worn light]

Buggy beta....
Did everyone's UI broke?

[late sonnet]

turn off your wifi until the game is like "your connection is gone" then turn it back on and the UI returns

[old sparrow]

:OO
I'mma try that

[drowsy fiber]

It works, thanks again for figuring it out!

[viscid dagger]

But I can't light the candles when I use that tp 😭

[misty bone]

?? you follow the guide to the house and there is a place to meditate but if you are unable to sit then you wont be able to go there

[viscid dagger]

No not that, I'm trying to get the spirit by opening the elevator manually with 8 players because it only works from that

[misty bone]

8 players is impossible in beta unless you try to look for a group in #beta-looking-for-group

[viscid dagger]

Dang

[thick valve]

UI broken right?🙁

[blazing flower]

We need to save piggy rocket glitch 😭

[hollow compass]

save it from what?

[drowsy fiber]

Try switching off your wifi/data, going into a new realm, waiting for the UI to return, and then switching the wifi/data back on.

[sand dawn]

so uhh, solution to Android no UI recording is to just remove the UI altogether?

[dire escarp]

No UI no problem

[viscid dagger]

It works 🤩

[drowsy fiber]

#beta-discussion message nine coloured bubba found a way to solve this, just wait with switching your wifi/data back on until you have the UI back.

[dire escarp]

If a popup warning breaks it, a popup warning fixes it too
Popups attac
But Popups also protecc

[sudden pine]

Hello Beta Arthropods, how are we all doing with our multiple legs today?

[twin isle]

||Cy I eat ur art it's always so nice to look at and pretty||

[late sonnet]

YOU'RE THE THIRD PERSON TO TRY EAT IT HELP

[sudden pine]

aw i can't post the pink fluffy unicorn dancing on rainbows dancing gif that looks like how the bug kid runs

[grizzled raven]

Is anyone else having UI issues today? I’m on iOS and haven’t been able to interact with candles/ spirits/ constellations or friends menu at all

[drowsy fiber]

Switch off your internet, go to a new realm, wait for the popup and switch on your internet again.

[grizzled raven]

Idk what happened but it fixed itself, thanks tho

[drowsy fiber]

How many tickets did you all find for the event, today?

[maiden pond]

I found five the first day.

[dry ibex]

Group playtest is today??

Never mind it’s tomorrow hahaha, I forgot timezones exist

[karmic frigate]

Earlier today tried to get 5 but it seems the fifth one from the guide is unobtainable atm ? probably a bug haha

[karmic frigate]

I'll join in and say thy art was quite scrumptious

[dry ibex]

I do think it’s nice that the tickets are almost all* placed on the lilypads, but I did write feedback about maybe changing the colour / size of them.

In the different lighting it can be hard to see, but I definitely love the embers - I don’t think we will have a “there are too many cones where are the tickets”-situation

[hollow compass]

I found them fairly easy to find because they have that honk halo

[dry ibex]

They do, similar to the Love tickets! I do think they could benefit from a slight change of colour and size though, they blend in with the environment a bit tooo much

[late sonnet]

They're about the same brightness as the particles in the water and I feel like that + ember zones going wild is gonna be a thing to contend with

[dry ibex]

Yes! Agreed

I’m gonna check the map shrine / dailies thing in a few too if servers are stable. Haven’t had a chance yet but I’m still wondering if the ❗️ leaves after we finish the quest

[drowsy fiber]

I'm not sure what causes it, but I'm having a surprisingly hard time seeing them, the only thing that makes it feasible to find them is the calls they make.

[late sonnet]

it was easier to find them today than yesterday but at first glance it was difficult

[drowsy fiber]

Hm, yes, yesterday I missed one of them, today was easier, true.

[left quest]

I haven’t had a chance to look at them yet, I can try to look later???

[dry ibex]

Same 👀! I can’t remember if this was a thing with the butterflies last year but I also love that we can hold hands as jellies

[late sonnet]

it was a thing and we could also carry the crabs around and it was glorious
the true spectacle of the playtest was everyone immediately beelining to the krill at the start of ark and it was a whole rave party just for the one krill

[dry ibex]

Yes lol 😭 I remember that hahahahahaha

[sudden pine]

there was a heart pile and a wow pile too

[left quest]

Now we need a WAFO pile…

[late sonnet]

@cinder gulch the brush was given to me by a friend, don't know where the original source is but it's fun to draw with

[late sonnet]

also the circling enchant guide

[dry ibex]

Okokok I just left some feedback about the mini camping event, and while I was writing this I was thinking about the shared space featured props.

The aren’t as many props as I would like , I imagine when it comes to live I definitely don’t have all the IAPs I have in beta. So brainstorming here:

What are some featured props you would like to see in a shared space of this size?

[late sonnet]

it's a pretty tiny shared space tbh (idk how far the range is, but the general area is relatively small)

like I'd imagine treasure reef sized shared space for that

[dry ibex]

The shared space extends over the entire area - meaning you can literally have small or bigger nooks everywhere (I could have small nooks somewhere, and the skyball set somewhere else, a race too,…)

[late sonnet]

oh interesting...but then like how will people know where it is
(just going off my memory of looking at the shared spaces and nothing showed up at all and I was like huh okay then)

[dry ibex]

Ah it’s a bug, props are up in the air. Assuming everyone makes a space when participating in the event, you can do so much with the space. The idea of “oh we can hang out here!” Is nice

[steady flume]

when you view a shared space the camera pans towards it but ig if someone makes a big one thats spread out then the camera won't help much

[late sonnet]

from the few times I've made shared spaces, the prop cap needs to increase tbh
sometimes you wanna make detailed things and only have so much 😩

[dry ibex]

This is really possible in that event - like it doesn’t fill up fast at ALL. I pretty much didn’t have a lot of props left over and I still didn’t ran out

[late sonnet]

time to go build a gundam again 🏃 but it's gonna just get obliterated by the bug innit

I'm pretty neutral when it comes to prop variety cuz it's more like
the existing ones lack so much colour unless you pay money for things so like
more colour is good

[steady flume]

I spent so much time building a maze only for it to float away 😭

[dry ibex]

Yeah, as the event lasts for a week I think we could benefit from more assembly / remembrance props but also bloom. Chatting props, flowers, all that stuff. Throw in some IAPs for the new players!!! Go crazy!!!

[sudden pine]

i need some more plushies for plushie mini golf (but i guess people can bring their own)

[late sonnet]

you can't place props when you're in a shared space thingo

[twin isle]

Try? I succeeded 👽 there is a bite missing for sure

[sudden pine]

can you smuggle them in like you can smuggle plushies into the passage quests?

[late sonnet]

never tried so i dunno

[sudden pine]

i guess when they release the companion cube then it will be possible to have 4 plushies, theoretically

[dry ibex]

I love this omg

[late sonnet]

there is also the giant manta plushie STAR thingo

[quiet obsidian]

aren’t there already 4? oreo, manta, crab and fox

[sudden pine]

oh yea fox (i don't think fox will every get put in a menu cuz it was a collab item tho, and probably neither will cube)

[quiet obsidian]

would definitely rather use companion cube tho

[tiny tiger]

does anyone know where to access previous year iaps?

[drowsy fiber]

I don't think I've seen them yet, and #beta-announcements mentions them not being included yet, so I guess we'll have to wait for those.

[chrome oriole]

Anyone else able to get an event ticket from interaction with the spirit?

[sudden pine]

oh oh oh i forgot, days of love heart is a plushie too

[idle nexus]

Seems like it works now, only I can get a ticket from the guide 😔 really love how the water is low now in prairie peaks. The view at night is especially pretty.

[stuck rose]

Shared space shrine is buggy so much I can't even like messages of my friend list
They dissappear like flash

[proper condor]

Finally working. Only found 4 tickets though. Interacting with the spirit didn’t do anything

[spark lance]

I'm so excited for days of Love. One of my fave events because I love the cuteness of all the items. I can't wait to get that beautiful new purple cape and wear my heart glasses and use my pink scepter and bow ❤️ I have a whole outfit planned I can't wait! ❤️

[wooden bluff]

So is beta still broken?

[sand dawn]

beta is always broken, it’s just a matter of .. intensity

[late sonnet]

It's about the bugs friends we made along the way

[earnest pawn]

So far we know that:

• Piggy and carry friend emotes are broken
• Season of Passage yellow and red outfit gives you extra limbs
• carrying props on your back has clipping issues with the cape being worn (torch looks like it's under the cape, fire pit looks like it's half way through the cape)

Days of Bloom

• only able to get 4 flowers even after interacting with the spirit guide
• cannot place props in prairie peaks at all (I believe we should be able to before we sit to meditate to transform)

Campsite

• items are not where they are placed when publishing a shared space

[whole plank]

• shared space items seem to be placed far above
• can't call regular spirits in the orbit constellation table.

[sand dawn]

• horn instrument is a null item

[late sonnet]

• wafo

[shy ore]

• We can record non-UI version in Android but 43% chance of laggy recordings as a result

[sand dawn]

that’s a suspiciously exact percentage lol

[odd lintel]

they tested it 100 times

[waxen surge]

Soo...how do we test the event in the 8-player puzzle area? I never even see that door open, let alone get enough people to go there in beta

[sudden pine]

the assembly guide is in aviary to take you there

[steel thicket]

Has anyone crashed after doing the Red Shard in Prairie? In the Bird's Neat area?

[sand dawn]

Oh please bug report that, I’m off to bed it’s 3am here

[tame pasture]

Does the in-game recording for android still require you to be signed in to google?

[viscid dagger]

I couldn't meditate at the time bc of the bug so now I can't do it again-😭😭😭 I can't open it until reset time

[shy ore]

Are you sure about that?

[shy ore]

in LIVE
in BETA (you can record in a non-UI way just like in iOS)

[sudden pine]

well unless something changed in the last few hours i went there via them today, theyre outside the event shop next to the bloom guide

[shy ore]

But what I see is Crab Whisperer's Scaredy Cadet hosting it

Let's just wait another build if Assembly Guide can 🧇

[stable totem]

I'm not a beta player, but I remember seeing scaredy cadet there too as the host

[fervent ridge]

Is beta doing beta stuff? I try to enter but the wing menu and most of the buttons disappear after a error

[vernal turtle]

After making a Shared Space and noticing my props disappear, I go to report a bug... and only after I finish bug reporting do I check here and notice the props aren't entirely gone... they've flown away

[outer island]

anyone else can’t use beta? it opens to OG homespace and there’s no buttons 🤯

[atomic latch]

it happened to me too. i can't really play on beta

[ashen tusk]

Hey try this to get UI back! #beta-discussion message

[vernal turtle]

It was working fine a bit ago, but now it's not. Classic Beta

[atomic elm]

I just got on and after 30 seconds all of my buttons are gone and it keeps saying it's either server or connection issues, and my connection is fine so idk what's happening

[ashen tusk]

It's a bug, click the link I shared above and try those steps to get everything back to as normal as beta let's you

[waxen surge]

Yep, right after getting candles and before going to the memory

[eager harness]

The spirit is there, but gives me nothing. Nothing is working.

[eager harness]

Mine is. I can’t do anything.

[atomic elm]

I tried it 3 times it didn't work for me

[ashen tusk]

I guess it doesn't work for everybody, are you waiting to get the connect to wifi to play sky screen before you turn your wifi back on? If you don't wait for that it doesn't work

[eager harness]

Beta is broken completely! -sniff;

[atomic elm]

I got on, i had my wifi on, then when I got the error thing I turned it off and jumped into a realm then turned it back on

[eager harness]

Nothing is working though. No friend tree on the home pad, no tasks.

The Assembly spirit isn’t working either.

[atomic elm]

I guess we just have to wait a bit until it's fixed

[eager harness]

The old home page, same thing.

[eager harness]

Probably some time tomorrow.

[atomic elm]

Maybe but it could take awhile, I remember during one season there was a glitch with the seasonal candles, everyone picked up one candle and they one candle kept going up in number til I think if I remember correctly 2k? So at like the end of the season people had a lot of normal candles

[eager harness]

Yes!! I had so many candles. lol Of course we didn’t get to keep them.

[ashen tusk]

I yeeted up a video to show what I mean better, if this still doesn’t work then I’m not sure what to suggest other than bug report and be patient #beta-screenshots-videos message

[atomic elm]

We didn't? I thought we did bc I used the seasonal candles we got on all the season spirites then all of them after the season went into my normal candle batch and I had a lot of candles

[eager harness]

Oh sorry. I meant, any candles left over. They fixed it and gave us all 200. That’s how I finished my spirit trees also though.

[atomic elm]

Makes sense, it was still funny bc I was so freaked out and thought I broke the game when it happened 😂

[idle nexus]

The bug is happening again, only I feel like it's worse the emote menu disappears when the error message appears, so Bubba's trick with the wifi won't work since there's no way to transfer to another realm. You can still gather things, but you won't see it until you restart the game.

Hopefully it will be fixed and the playtest tomorrow won't be affected by it.

[viscid dagger]

I kept turning off and on the Wi-Fi and my mobile data it worked after that

[deft silo]

can’t get into beta at all rn

[rain latch]

Servers down?

[ionic matrix]

Who else has a broken heads up display (hud) cus I sure do. Log in most the way, server error, log in the rest the way, no hud, no closet buttons, and can’t see dailies. Oh and I can’t sit either. Gots an iPad.

[hollow compass]

you don't need to double post and you may notice that lots of people are experienceing the same thing, if you scroll through the beta chats

[deft silo]

respectfully there’s no need for you to moderate the chat like that. even if some people have already commented that they experienced it, we don’t know the scale of it and it’s perfectly fine for anyone who’s experiencing issues to come to the chat dedicated to beta and beta issues… it’s better for more people to voice that they have issues. if the server moderators have an issue with chat events they will say it themselves

[hollow compass]

it is common practice on this server to not double post, especially if it is very apparently an ongoing issue (since Saturday, I believe)

[deft silo]

regardless I think you should leave it to the server moderators to moderate the chat, again all due respect but it’s not up to you to decide what’s ok or not for people to chat about

[hollow compass]

you're probably quite new to Skycord, but most of the chats are peer moderated and mods are only called upon when there is spam or a real emergency
very occasionally we do have a shep or mod actively partaking in any chat
gladly, we just got a beta regular made mod, so maybe that will change in these channels

[deft silo]

I’m not new to the server lmao, you’re being pretty passive aggressive. the reason I don’t chat here often anymore is bc of behavior like this

[hollow compass]

that's on you, I am being and was also very respectful in pointing out some common ways we are all asked to behave in here

let's just move on now

[deft silo]

it’s not respectful when you tell others what to do without the authority to do so, even if you put a bow emote at the end….

and for the record my experience of expected behavior here is that beta testers should report their beta experiences including bugs/crashes in both chat servers and bug report channels. if one person reports it and then everyone else says nothing cause “double posting”, how will tgc know more info about the issue?

[hollow compass]

that sounds like a bit of a misconception
everyone who experiences a bug should bug report it, but you don't have to announce it anywhere - especially not in all channels
once a bug is stated by TGC in a known issues channel, we don't need to send in more bug reports until they actively ask us to

[deft silo]

known issues hasn’t been updated with this issue, in fact it hasn’t been updated since january 5th. so no need to silence people on that account.

also it’s perfectly ok and natural for people to chat and seek discussion surrounding issues especially in a channel literally dedicated to discussion of testing and testing issues.

[hollow compass]

the connection issue started happening on a Saturday and I don't believe TGC actively works on beta during weekends
yes, it is good to discuss what is happening in beta

[upbeat ore]

You don't need to leave the same message in both beta chats, that just creates spam.
This is all there is to it

[deft silo]

at the end of the day all I ask is that we leave the moderation of others to actual moderators. it would be one thing if the chat was literally blowing up with people panicking, but you don’t need to tell people off for hopping into the chat to mention an issue. its not your responsibility. even if the issue has been going since Saturday, myself and others only began experiencing it a few hours ago

[wooden bluff]

[hollow compass]

I'm confused on the timing for the Bloom testing: has it already happened or is it going to happen later today?

[deft silo]

there’s another 24h ish of phase 3, it resets after Monday reset to phase 1iirc. and the group test hasn’t happened yet

[hollow compass]

right, it almost always happens in the middle of the night for me due to the timezone difference
oh, well

[ashen tusk]

it'll be 1am for me

[simple spoke]

Damn the issue is still happening

[ashen tusk]

yes it's still the weekend for tgc, hopefully we'll get things fixed later on Monday but we just have to be patient

Question for y'all, what do you think about the camping event so far? ~~aside from the bugged share space ~~

[hollow compass]

it's a little boring, no?
there's nothing to do

[ashen tusk]

Yeah I did feel that, after making the space there wasn't really much else other than sitting for wax

Which don't get me wrong I like wax, but I hope we get more to do later, maybe they'll have us interact with assembly gang again but I also feel like we keep seeing them often and I wish we could see other spirit groups too (I know assembly are the prop friends though)

[final gull]

Decent

[random orbit]

Agreed, there's not much too it. Personally, I'm not much of a shared space user anyway, so this event feels like it's definitely for some players, but not for me

[hollow compass]

I really like that we have more spirits around both in Aviary and in events generally; it makes the game feel more alive

[hollow compass]

same, I never use shared spaces or any memory items, actually

[ashen tusk]

that's true, I only tend to use share spaces when friends leave bubba enrichment around

[steady flume]

I'm glad that it's a mini event that doesn't require you to collect tickets every day bc I'm getting kinda overwhelmed with the amount of events we already have :')
I don't really use shared spaces either so the camping event is a nice opportunity to just make one

[ashen tusk]

I will also say I'm confused about the new items and getting likes to unlock them, I guess it's a way to encourage us to engage with other people's spaces

[ashen tusk]

inb4 they turn it into a ticket event

I really hope it's not gonna be cause we really do have a lot of them already and at least this one feels less omg I need to visit here everyday to collect the things so I don't miss the timed items!!!

[fringe light]

Has anyone had the same problem like mine?
My menu icons above are gone and I can't interact with the spirits and players 🙃

[random orbit]

I'm also a bit confused by it. If I get enough likes on the first space I make, then I can use those items in a second space I build? So far I haven't been able to test it for myself

[ashen tusk]

I'm still waiting for likes to test it myself, but by the looks of it yeah, although I don't know if they're permanently unlocked

[young pecan]

Aye, mate. Seems to be an ongoing issue for a plethora of us. (Add in frequent crashes, lack of quest and candle generation, and inability to use sit-to-teleport spaces as well.)

[ashen tusk]

Y'all can try this if you want: #beta-screenshots-videos message

No guarantees it'll fix for everyone and it's only temporary, but remember to bug report!

[thorny field]

#beta-still-didnt-fix-the-annoying-bug

[turbid grove]

Has anyone noticed that carrying and princess hugs don't work?

[thorny field]

It's bug

[turbid grove]

revision:piggyback and officer and a gentlemen

[jade veldt]

Temporary solution to problems such as missing buttons around the current screen of beta-sky:

1. Disconnect the mobile device from the network
2. Wait for the pop-up window of network connection failure to appear.
3. Network connection to mobile devices
4. Click "Retry"
   button to return to normal

[manic notch]

It's been a while since I last played beta but when I came back all of the ui once im loaded in the game is missing? (like the wing menu, camera and settings)

I can still move around and fly but i cant access any other ui that is missing. how do i fix this?

[drowsy fiber]

Try switching off your wifi/data at home or aviary once your UI is gone, go to a realm, and when the UI returns (usually with a server error popup because your internet is off, just click retry on that one), turn the wifi/data back on.
Helps me most of the time, credit for the fix goes to nine coloured bubba who found it.

[sand dawn]

some people do no back reading at all

[idle nexus]

I can move past the initial home screen when you first log on 😢

[steady pond]

ive not popped in beta for months, but i guess its nice to see some things dont change

[delicate wasp]

The pop-up didn't come for me

[jade veldt]

After disconnecting from the Internet, try to exercise more,

[echo mason]

What if a lotus cape?
Lotus Umbrella
😭

[languid sandal]

psh yeah imagine that... wouldn't be me

[fringe light]

Me neither

[ashen tusk]

Did you shut off data too?

[fringe light]

Oh my it's back
So I follow the steps above, when it is almost done loading I cut off the data once until the internet error message pops up, turn on data and click retry

[ashen tusk]

you turn off wifi and data after the first error message and then wait for the "connect to wifi to play sky" screen and then turn your wifi/data back on

[slim herald]

I'm on the iOS test server. I have to go through the novice tutorial when I go online today. There's no point in deleting the download.

[ashen tusk]

Hi! Please don't spam the same message in each channel, we can help you with just the one

There's been some people experiencing the moth intro/aviary restart bug, it's likely this that you're experiencing too - make sure to report in #beta-bugs-ios

[odd lintel]

hoping for a little doot later with this year’s bloom cosmetics

[ashen tusk]

just a little doot

I saw Bear's drawing earlier and I wanna second lil frog on lily pad accessory and leap frog emote

[thorny field]

Guys did someone buy the bloom suit from the store because my store is empty and I think it's a glitch

[drowsy fiber]

IAPs aren't included this build.

[quaint garnet]

I'm unable to move after loading up in the beta, i'm just stuck admiring home realms is anyone else experiencing this?

[soft pebble]

Every time I open the keyboard to type a message in a memory candle or comment on one or name a shared space i crash. I couldn't find it in known issues so can you guys please check and report too. This would be a very sad bug if it made it to live

[late sonnet]

it is the first build and it was warned in the notes that it would be extremely buggy

[idle nexus]

Yep, but after turning off the game for a bit it worked again. By work, I mean I could move and the error message appeared

[late sonnet]

me when the moth intro started out of nowhere and I was like aw hell-
/restarts game/
oh it's back to normal

[old kindle]

Does anyone know why in beta I have a lot of pages for friendship constellations, but in the live version I run out of pages after the crab constellation? I noticed a long time ago that in beta I was able to create many friend pages (with one friend in each), but in live I can’t. I'm confused

[late sonnet]

one of those residual things from friendship constellation testing that stayed in beta I would imagine
which works because beta has a significantly smaller population than live so the servers can handle that? (this is a guess)

[quaint garnet]

the first time I got on I could move freely but I couldn't check out the shop so I logged out

[sudden pine]

It’s definitely not all the bug-kids running around lately

[soft pebble]

I still think we should point those bugs just incase

[dry ibex]

Today!!!! Is the playtest!!!!!!!

Last year the playtest for DoBloom was so much fun, I hope you guys can make it for this one as well

[lilac solstice]

:0 I forgot it's play test day.

[dry ibex]

It’s in 8 hours

[drowsy fiber]

Thanks for the reminder to charge my phone Edit: Wait, you're Sof, sorry!

[sand dawn]

can we get a countdown somewhere?

[lilac solstice]

I'll be at work unfortunately

But I do hope it's very fun for those who can go!!

[dry ibex]

There’s a timestamp in your timezone here if that helps! : #beta-announcements message

[sand dawn]

oh, I was looking for it there but somehow missed it lol

[dry ibex]

Yeah big doot note!

[hollow compass]

Have fun!

[idle nexus]

Imagine if the jellyfish randomly got the extra limbs bug if we wear the outfit?

[sinful sierra]

I have a schedule to be able to play, it turns out that when I enter the missions are not active,That is to say, do you plan to apply that change for live?
The group of spirits gathered at the bar of the aviary grotto is very good,but why does it have to be in the moments that someone puts it? Many of us do not have any time of day to access!! I do not understand this....

[late sonnet]

1. report to #beta-bugs-android or #beta-bugs-ios whichever platform you use
2. it's the first build, and in every single update post it states that nothing in beta can be assumed to be intentional for what will end up in live until it's in the live game.
3. I have no idea what you're talking about in the moment who puts what with the spirits

[buoyant berry]

How we unlock the fifth ticket in this phase?

[dry ibex]

Hi! Are the spirits in the Aviary (who give the Daily Quests) not always there for you?

[late sonnet]

the guide's ticket is bugged rn

[buoyant berry]

I can see the ui again and the guide offers a placeholder spell, still bug like this right? ☺️

[late sonnet]

turn off ping when replying to my messages please

with the guide, it's more that this year's bloom items haven't been added yet so it just looks like that, as was stated in #beta-announcements
before it was broken, just interacting with the guide would make the EC appear behind them.

[kind vigil]

How is beta server now Is the hamster still healthy? Or did it go to a vacation?

[hearty copper]

I'm so glad PC beta works again stupid error message is gone finally after waiting for so many hours.....
Raise your hand if that error ruined your day/mood!

[thorny field]

I need help like how to get so many candles without cr

[drowsy fiber]

In beta you can get 25 season candles a day, that somewhat makes things easier with conversion. I think you can get a few hundred candles each season that way (assuming no bugs related to them).

[dry ibex]

On top of what Jenna said, yes! We can get around 1000-2000 candles at the end of conversion, usually no more than that.

But we still need to put in the work, so we still have to collect the seasonal candle bunches

@thorny field I removed your message, as discussion about hacking isn’t allowed in this server. Any third party apps / any modding is against ToS

[kind vigil]

It is, but that is concluded hacked contents, and will get banned once devs confirmed.

[thorny field]

That make sense

[kind vigil]

There was a bug that you could buy multiple season pass in beta and get a huge amount of season candles, but that bug was fixed and never appeared. Soon after devs fixed this bug, they reset all beta testers' currency. So If anyone told you this, They may trying to cover up the fact that they're hacking

[thorny field]

Okay! Thanks!

[kind vigil]

A quick tip:
ALL ban in beta are permanent and cannot be appealed afaik. So stay away from hacking if you love all those beta-limited spiderman bugs

[late sonnet]

you should report all of those posts to @/Stellify in dms tbh
it's not feasibly possible for any tester to have that many candles since the currency wipe

[idle nexus]

I've added an alarm for today's playtest! Even if there's an error, I have enough time to continually turn my wifi off and on for it to work.

But knowing how these playtests go, we may get a doot in a few hours.

[old nymph]

they're pretty stupid, that's how

[spark lance]

Do I have to complete ALL of the Aviary quests in order to access the daily quest update? Or, up to which quest do I have to complete in order to experience the daily quest update?

[spark lance]

Oh okay, so I don’t have to complete like 5 seasons worth of season quests just to get the daily quest update, thanks 😅

[tame pasture]

Manifesting lilypad cape

[sudden pine]

seems like jellyfish flying is fixed \o/

[idle nexus]

Someone mentioned a Lilypad umbrella. And now I want that with a little frog on top.

[dry ibex]

Playtest in a little over 3 hours!!

[gilded basin]

manifesting lotus or lily cosmetics this year 🪷 even just lilypads on their own would be cute

[sinful locust]

Lilypad as head accessory just like the dew drop leaf from season of moments

[cosmic rivet]

Since the last update, movement anywhere is causing me to feel nauseous…feels like motion sickness. Anyone one else experiencing this?

[maiden pond]

You should write that in #beta-feedback, stuff like that is essential for letting the devs know how you feel.

[dire escarp]

Mass jellyfish test starting <t:1705971600:R>
<t:1705971600:F>

[formal plinth]

Is there a chance aurora wings will come back with season of bloom bc of the guide wearing it? It’s pretty much the only thing I’m sad I missed out on except Anubis mask so I wanna know if I have hope

[gilded parrot]

‘cause just like the crabs, everything wants to live

[dire escarp]

I have a feeling that spirit will change appearance when the bloom cape is finalised, I'm hoping for a lilly cape given the theme

[slim apex]

If every tester helps, send me a beta invite :(

[formal plinth]

Ooh that would be cool

[dire escarp]

OMG I summoned Sagomay

[oak juniper]

i'd join but thats 1am 😭

[spark lance]

i'd join, but I can never get a IOS invitw

[autumn spindle]

2am for me will try to be here

[slim apex]

it's 11:30 for you, another 1.5 hours is nothing.

[ashen tusk]

I took a big ol' unplanned nap and woke up just in time

[odd lintel]

you better get to sleep soon

[sudden pine]

a group of jellyfish is called a smack (alternatively a bloom, of course)

[oak juniper]

I have college tmr wdym, I aint staying up for some playtest 💀

[slim apex]

Write college thesis on Sky

[ashen tusk]

why did they name it a smack of jellyfish

[oak juniper]

This is a good thesis and all but your assignment was on cyber security

[fair glade]

Just want to ensure it's not my phone misbehaving before I send in a bug report, anyone else noticed the meditation circle to stop being a jellyfish not working properly?

[dry ibex]

Just now? Oh wait yes! It’s broken

[sudden pine]

ok well i am not saying to do this but if you live near the atlantic where theres moon jellies that dont sting and you have a brother and you go swimming in the ocean, etc

mayyyybe you've been known to toss a jellyfish at him

[frosty trout]

a group of jellyfish is called a smack
My options for emoji to use in reply to this are disturbing at best. I'll stick with the all-purpose term "crowd"

[ashen tusk]

so what you're saying is tgc please let us grab our jelly friends and throw each other around

[frosty trout]

Hope you all had a good weekend, and thanks for your patience with the less fun bugs. Perhaps those are the price to pay for the fantastic, glorious, amazing, and definitely soon-to-be-fixed cursed spider bug

[ashen tusk]

ah shoot I was hoping you'd not notice that bug

[odd lintel]

Sago when can we be blessed with another doot that features this year’s Bloom cosmetics?

[hybrid bobcat]

everyone: spams bug photos
also everyone:

[sudden pine]

we're 🤏 this close to getting the dream rhinocerous beetle mask

[ashen tusk]

I'm pretty sure my bug report for the pants said enthusiastically please don't fix this so I am shocked to hear there's plans to fix it

[hybrid bobcat]

LMAO so fair

[odd lintel]

To be fair Bubba, most people in live would probably rather be able to wear their outfits without becoming a spider

[left quest]

Give the people what they want! We wanna be spider amalgamations!

[hybrid bobcat]

i mean out of our control group here idk if youre right

[cinder chasm]

I set an alaem so I don’t forget the test hopefully. It will be cool to see what it looks like with a huge jellyfish swarm

[ashen tusk]

they can just close their eyes and pretend everything is normal

[odd lintel]

Like I close my eyes and pretend the elder masks have been released

[cinder chasm]

I think people would like the bug for a little while, it’s very silly

[gilded basin]

not me let me become a missy

[hybrid bobcat]

i rarely see people use the pants anyway we could just give them a rebrand

[ashen tusk]

this is what you get if you fail your passage rites: wiggles extra arms and legs

[odd lintel]

maybe the bug can make it’s way to live just for 0.24.5, then fix it with 0.25.0

[hybrid bobcat]

yesss i love your thinking

[ashen tusk]

I mean it's a harmless lil buggy bug in beta, but we don't know what would happen between here and live if they let it loose, what if it grows, suddenly we're all consumed by stretch armstrong arms, the krill fear us now-

[odd lintel]

I’ll use my elongated arms to steal the masks from the rest of the elders

[hybrid bobcat]

people in live would ask if theyre safe to use

[random grove]

I kind of want to provide some feedback for the daily quest update theyre testing out. We should totally have the 4 extra quests as side quests that can be done alongside dailies. More activities and viability for the village.

Also we can go to harmony hall from the village but not the other way around so a portal that can connect those two places completely would be excellent, especially since it tends to take longer to move between valley/dreams village back to the village/wind paths via the one way we have available. This is something i've been meaning to suggest for awhile and now seems a good time for it. All submitted as feedback. Ya'll keep up the aawesome. ❤️

[odd lintel]

No they aren’t, the universe will collapse in a matter of seconds upon equipping the pants

[hybrid bobcat]

*sky crashes *

[ashen tusk]

I think I'm right in saying if you go into harmony hall from aviary and then return through the same entrance you appear through you'll go back to aviary

[hybrid bobcat]

yeah that makes logical sense

[random grove]

I thought about that but it might be complicated since it leads outside and thats a good way to shortcut to the village of dreams this way. Possibly a new exit that can be placed somewhere, make it all magickal like a large photo frame with a painting of Aviary that we can jump through as an example, something unorthodox would be pretty cool here.

[stray pulsar]

Dang I have school 😍

[ashen tusk]

They could always add a new doorway up above somewhere so it's less smooshed on that ground floor. Good feedback so far though!

I'm interested in the extra quests from spirits as opposed to them giving the same dailies as the shrine - would you see those extra quests also giving the same rewards?

[woeful flint]

I’m not seeing many others

[dry ibex]

Okay 2 am is a little late for me in a work week have the most fun at the playtest today everyone!!!

[sudden pine]

you still have an hour to go 🙂

[dry ibex]

Hopefully there’s another one soon, really wanna participate

[ashen tusk]

SLEEP WELL WE'LL MISS YOU

From the sounds of it they plan to do some more tests later so fingers crossed they're at a nicer hour for us Europes

[random grove]

Possibly different rewards to give it a unique experience. Im not sure the criteria of quests currently in the works, but I hope they'll consider giving some spirits tasks based on maybe something theyve experienced during their own travels and day to day interactions. Possibly even 1 particular quest that pertains to the shards that fall on a particular day. maybe relative task alongside the event. for days that dont have shards we can give 1 of the spirits a special quest relative to the village or something to that nature.

[woeful flint]

Oop

[ashen tusk]

Currently, when they're not bugged and hiding from us, they issue us the same daily quests that the shrine gives us and we receive the same rewards for completing them, so season candles.

I guess if they offered different quests I'd see them offering alternative rewards, but I feel like if they issued quests each day and we got rewards each day on top of already daily quests it would be a little overpowered.

I think they could maybe have the spirits appear every so often, maybe once a week or every couple of weeks to issue us unique quests around the aviary or around sky and they could gift us something like hearts for our help

But I guess it also depends on what tgc have planned, I feel like with spirits offering dailies the shrine in aviary will become obsolete, and that doesn't surprise me because aviary feels like it's going to become more interactive as opposed to home which is fairly passive. I think it balances well having both in game because people have different playstyles, so if they do continue to make aviary more interactive and lose some of the specifics that home has like daily quest shrine then I'd be happy to see that development

[random grove]

Hearts would be a great reward in this case for the extra quests, if not just a piece of light similar to how we provide them to our friends via the constellation. maybe they can do double the light that we send to our friends for spirits that we've relived their memories, is another thing that could compliment this. The spirits are our friends is the good theme here. great add on.

[sudden pine]

oh noes invisible rainbow is here!

[odd lintel]

I’m now forced to join in on the group play test because my brother is going on the Xbox when I was about to go on now that I’ve done the dishes… yay fun

[ashen tusk]

Don't say it like that, we're happy you can join us 😭

[odd lintel]

I’m not complaining about joining the play test, I’m just annoyed because I wanted to grind ranked fortnite

[ashen tusk]

You'll get 'em next time

[odd lintel]

decided I’ll do dailies & scr quickly before the playtest starts

[viscid sundial]

Going on beta for the first time in months for the play test

[autumn spindle]

Less than five minutes before playtest

[cinder chasm]

It’s sweet that the baby manatee manta isn’t afraid of players if they are jelly fish

[spark lance]

Why isn’t the meditation circle in Prairie Peaks showing up for me? Where is it?

[frosty trout]

Do a smackdown of jellyfish, then grind Fortnite

It's along the river bank, across from the side you of it with the monolith

[spark lance]

I see the jellyfish and the Bloom Guide, but not a meditation circle ? 🤔

[odd lintel]

Sagomay I have no choice, my brother is playing GTA V instead of literally any other game that he hasn’t played, and then he’ll complain there’s nothing to do

[runic fossil]

it should be directly below them near the edge of that drop off they are on

[odd lintel]

I’m a purple jellyfish

[slow crow]

jellyfish

[ashen tusk]

Jelly friends are so pretty! I have one request, when we hold hands as jellies one of our leggies should just link up

[sudden pine]

aw you can play with the manatee ❤️

[spark lance]

I don’t see a meditation circle anywhere 😔 Do I have to have Moments quests completed?

[odd lintel]

who wants to come join me at the highest peak?

[sudden pine]

oh thats weird, when i tried to join a friend it sent me to the map shrine

[wind rose]

i am so tall rn lol

[odd lintel]

I HAVE A FREN AT THE HIGHEST PEAK WITH ME

[wind rose]

making my way up lol new to beta and phone controls in egenral, flying is hard lol

[spark lance]

what does it mean if I don’t see a meditation circle at all

[runic fossil]

Do you have any Aviary quests done?

[spark lance]

Up to the 4th quest is done, yes.

[runic fossil]

have you started quest 4?

[spark lance]

yes, I have completed quest 4

[runic fossil]

you have the most current version of beta?

[spark lance]

That might be it, let me check Testflight

[odd lintel]

should I go join the group? It’s kinda lonely up here at the very top

[tidal aurora]

jelli

[spark lance]

It seems I do… 🤔 0.24.5

[ashen tusk]

WE NEED MORE JELLIES

[slow crow]

im just chillin with a group here

[wind rose]

i cant figure out how to go lower on mobile

[runic fossil]

would you be able to send video?

[sudden pine]

there's some places where it's just....really hard to go. down

[runic fossil]

try pointing the camera down, then pulling the flight side down

[wind rose]

thanks!

[sick comet]

I’ve joined you at the summit

[runic fossil]

or, try just letting go of the flight toggle.

[cinder chasm]

My meditation circle disappeared

[odd lintel]

THE SUMMIT ARMY GROWS

[whole plank]

I can get winged with light at the top of the mountain

[spark lance]

How annoying; As soon as I went to record video of my problem, the meditation circle finally appeared for me 💀

[runic fossil]

[ashen tusk]

So many jellies on all the monoliths

[runic fossil]

beta being beta

[kind vigil]

Oh I just woke up hopefully I'm not too late

[slow spear]

I think the quality of the in-game recording on Android is very low. Can this be configured?

[slow crow]

the sight of the monolith jellies from down here is amazing

[frosty trout]

A monolith of jellies

[sick comet]

Everyone go to the highest peak

[sudden pine]

(you ever sing the Close Encounters ufo song while on a monolith? cuz i do)

[slow crow]

the peak jellies are just too far away to see

[odd lintel]

Our summit group grows

[tidal aurora]

why is everyone blue, white, or gold?

[whole plank]

hmmm, I don't know how to get down there

[ashen tusk]

I wonder if we can try doing different aurora emotes on each peak, I see stars on the left leading into night bird cave, then hearts, maybe the big monolith can do cwow and jellies down below can do cry

[sudden pine]

you're sort of the color of your cape and i bet everyone's wearing the deer lotus cape

[slow crow]

yea, i dont think i have any green cape yet

[odd lintel]

I’m a purple jellyfish over here, wisteria cape supremacy

[wispy seal]

It depends on the color of cape player is wearing.

[ashen tusk]

NVM WE ALL CHANGED EMOTES

[fair glade]

I'm still not over black capes looking blue according to fest tech tho

[ashen tusk]

YAY CWOW JELLIES

[odd lintel]

Okay I might head back down to the rest of the group, it’s been fun summit nation, but my people need me down below

[tidal aurora]

thereß gotta be some different colors out there we can't all

[sudden pine]

join us on Monolith Metro!

[slow crow]

pond jelly here

[sick comet]

There’s a shared space at the summit and someone placed a swing there.... swinging as a jelly 🤣

[tidal aurora]

I actually hate typing sideways I can't do this

[slow crow]

my jelly just goes

[tidal aurora]

this is all very fun and all.. but what do we do?

[kind vigil]

I've tried, but I'm still not used to this jellyfish body Not used to Control this little creature

[ashen tusk]

stress the servers with our jelly antics

[frosty trout]

Try to break as many things as your jelly tentacles will allow

[random edge]

Jellyfish don’t snore I discovered

[spark lance]

I get the feeling that it has to do with the unskippable Moments quest cutscene that happens what I thought was every time you enter Prairie Peaks, if you’re in the middle of an unfinished Moments quest;

The few times that the meditation circle didn’t show up for me, I had to go through the Nightbird Whisperer cutscene each time, before heading to the area to see the meditation circle not there

The last two times where the circle has appeared, I for some reason spawned on the other side of Prairie Peaks (closer to the meditation circle) and I didn’t have to go through the Nightbird cutscene.

Could an unfinished Moments quest being triggered be blocking the circle from appearing? 🤔

[tidal aurora]

I give up sorry 😭 I can't type and play it makes my game so slow. one less jelly to work with 😔

and like I'm really hungry

[kind vigil]

I saw a lot of jelly honking at the metitate point, but they disappears as I gets closer

[slow crow]

i like to be a jellyfish, i dont need to breath underwater

[slow spear]

I have no Aurora emote menu as jellyfish
But I had it before going jellyfish

[ashen tusk]

For curiosity sake, how many jellies do we have online right now?

[slow crow]

i see fellow underwater jellies

[fair glade]

Anyone else that saw friends around their instance noticed them constantly appearing and disappearing? Could be just them tabbing out of the game for a moment but would rather check if anyone else is also experiencing it

[odd lintel]

Instructions unclear, accidentally beat up Cy as a jellyfish /j

[sick comet]

Got caught in an updraft and now super high 😅 aiming for space

[late sonnet]

I was screaming at @final terrace to stop moving so i could join server

[frosty trout]

Well that escalated quickly

[runic fossil]

[odd lintel]

CY JUST SHOVED ME INTO THE GROUND

[random edge]

No screaming cy. It hurts the little jellyfish

[late sonnet]

listen i’ll do all the screaming (internally)

[kind vigil]

no you won't, you'll be sent back after a magical flashback

[sudden pine]

jellyfish heaven!

[fair glade]

is there anyone still at the snowy peak?

[ashen tusk]

there's a lot of blue jellies, y'all wearing the lotus cape?

[pulsar gull]

Hahaha me too

[final terrace]

WHEEZING I'm so sorry, I was too excited at Cy jelly to stop

[odd lintel]

currently being jellynapped by Cy

[ashen tusk]

Wren how tall is your skid cause your jelly was ginormous

[calm wedge]

Not that many jellies

[slow crow]

bigger skykid = bigger jellyfish?

[sudden pine]

oh yea i also seem to be going to space

[kind vigil]

oh seems like It's time to quit now gonna ask if anyone wants to scr, or I'll go along

[dire escarp]

Chibi jelly, also purple cape makes for pretty purple jelly

[final terrace]

I'm very Tol! Interesting if it affects your jelly size then

[fair glade]

Does the excitement include an escapism session because you kept going missing from my end

[wanton yacht]

all i see is jellies nyooming across my screen as i play random songs on guitar

[late sonnet]

wren jelly: moving at the speed of light
me: CEASE YOUR MOVEMENT, CHILD

It does, I was floating by and I saw you and was like GIANT WRELLY

[random edge]

There’s not much to do besides floating around. Will there be more added?

[kind vigil]

my input auto-fill scr to scratch hhahaha

[slow crow]

i just want my jellyfish to look chunky

[placid nimbus]

It would be nice to have jelly races 🏁 hehe

[final terrace]

SAME you kept disappearing for me, along with other friends. It was so strange!

[sick comet]

I went so high it reset and put me back on solid ground 😢

[ashen tusk]

Where did the devs go pspsps did we finish breaking the servers?

[steel thicket]

I forgot about the test!

[random edge]

I see you Cy

[slow crow]

just love seeing alot of jellyfish here

[sick comet]

Joining the monolith party

[final terrace]

SHSHHSHSH punished for zoomie crimes 😔 My app closed because I tabbed out for too long to check Discord ahah

[late sonnet]

that sounds about right then
discord gods banished you

[ashen tusk]

I don't know what happened but I merged with Cy and Sokai hello fellow glowies

AND AN OLIVE!

[fair glade]

Everyone just abandoned the highest peak to straight up move to the monolith, this is the sky hivemind

[vernal turtle]

Playtest was a little underwhelming, but hello hello to all the friends I saw there And ty to @maiden pond for accompanying me

[late sonnet]

oh everyone vanished again

[trim spade]

There used to be a dupermagnetic rainbow there o the first day. The rainbow is now gone, but the magnetic force remains 😭😭

[ashen tusk]

I'm still with Olive

NOOO AS SOON AS I SENT THEY VANISHED

[late sonnet]

i too see an olive
wren is still banished for crimes

[final terrace]

Exploring as a jelly is so fun though, you can reach such high places with enough patience! I got some pretty photos of the sky, too

[odd lintel]

either the servers held up well or we didn’t have enough people to break the servers…

SO I SAY WE ALL GET EVERY DEVICE IN OUR HOUSE AND MAKE NEW ACCOUNTS SO WE CAN BREAK THE SERVERS /j

[sudden pine]

the gravitational pull of antimatter rainbow is still there

[random edge]

Heading to the top of the mountain. I see you up there. Hehe

[idle nexus]

I didn't get to see many jellies unfortunately. But I did like how you can hold hands as jellyfish.

[late sonnet]

the sokai jelly is like dead
they’re just laying there face down

[merry wyvern]

was it intentional to able to use the camera from the season of moments to take selfies as a jellyfish?

[final terrace]

Stuck in jelly jail for eternity...... Avenge me, Cy.....

[maiden pond]

Okay but I have an iOS device and I still need another invite wave for it too.

[odd lintel]

and you’re swinging like a pendulum

[merry wyvern]

if it wasnt, please keep that. i love it so much

[late sonnet]

what do I need to avenge you for, atone for your crimes/bonks

[vernal turtle]

Off-topic, but hello fellow Nine-Colored birdie

[random galleon]

Oh nooooo we were separated Bubba but hi hi everyone !!

[idle nexus]

We need a giant jellyfish train.

[spark lance]

you can??

[sudden pine]

circle wont let me turn back into a jellyfish

[spark lance]

Me with my PC, waiting for more Steam sky beta keys

[idle nexus]

If you go close to a friend, the hand holding prompt will show up.

[late sonnet]

you need to be in the same server though I thought

[ashen tusk]

That’s the only way to know if you’re sharing an instance with a friend

[fair glade]

The option to join others' servers is gone? Or have I just been terribly unlucky and all were full?

[idle nexus]

Yep! It would be nice if we could join each other's server. Then a giant jellyfish train could happen.

[final terrace]

I could see & click the button to join other players but it didn't seem to work for me; the screen faded to black and then I was still in a separate server (?)

[ashen tusk]

I saw it pop up a couple of times but I never tried it I didn’t wanna get slammed into a server on my own if it bugged

[late sonnet]

it’s because you were moving at the darn speed of light, you fool
it was only when you stopped moving I could join you

[fair glade]

I just straight up don't see the prompt so just wondering if it's my bad luck or a bug to report

[idle nexus]

I didn't get the prompt at all.

[odd lintel]

Cy is carrying around my afk jellyfish body while I chat with people

[ashen tusk]

also the devs never said we were finished but it was only for 20 minutes right? I've hopped off already

[late sonnet]

well it’s dead anyway so it’s fine

[odd lintel]

I think it’s worse to be carrying around a corpse

[late sonnet]

not if it’s your corpse

[fair glade]

~~too much jellyfish chaos for the devs ~~ yeah, the message said 20 minutes

[left loom]

Currently playing Moments final quest as a jelly...

[runic fossil]

we're still watching/playing and discussing

[wanton yacht]

idk if its over technically or not im just gonna keep playing music til i get bored pff

Edit: nvm lmao

[ashen tusk]

Ohhhhh….. hops back on

[sudden pine]

how small can you be with a small spell ?

[odd lintel]

CY I’M SORRY FOR ABANDONING YOU BUT I GOTTA MEET UP WITH TABLE ON LIVE

[ashen tusk]

itty bitty

[fair glade]

The monolith feels pretty lonely now

[kind vigil]

Think of some seasonal candles and that's it

[stuck sparrow]

I can see players honking for the 8 players puzzle. I literally just wasted 20 minutes there to realise there was a spirit in Aviary to teleport you there. 🤦🏻

[ashen tusk]

Has anybody seen jellies that just swing from side to side, like they're laying down and just swing, swing, swing?

[frosty trout]

A smol monolith of jellies

[fair glade]

Not sure if we mean the same, but saw horizontal jellies

[maiden pond]

Not exactly but I've seen sideways looking jellies.

[kind vigil]

Oh I see a jellyfish trapping the event guide

[ashen tusk]

Owh I just came back to the monolith and I'm a solo jelly amongst- HELLO CY

[sudden pine]

bubba are you a person or a jelly

[late sonnet]

bubba is a very dead looking jelly right now

[ashen tusk]

star emotes from beyond the grave

[slow crow]

i turned off my game bcause my phone battery is

[sudden pine]

when i joined you it sent me to the map shrine

[random edge]

My friend has this really weird bug. He’s wearing the passage pants and looks like he has two sets of legs and arms. He chose to wear the spider mask and it is terrifying looking

[ashen tusk]

Cy is also a ginormous jelly

[trim spade]

I gotta scr so I left 😔

[ashen tusk]

Oh I shrined back here and it sent me there too

[kind vigil]

It's a beta-limited bug

[sudden pine]

no i mean, you were a jellyfish and i clicked on you and it sent me away

[fair glade]

Something that I find confusing, is the fest tech menu meant to appear even when you're not a jellyfish? I read the #beta-announcements message multiple times but still don't manage to grasp that

[trim spade]

If you scroll up in the screenshots channel, you’ll see a lot of hilarious videos with that bug 😂😂

[spark lance]

Oof I have discovered a glitch where I got stuck in the air while trying to approach the meditation circle to become a jellyfish 💀 I couldn’t fall down 💀💀

[ashen tusk]

my jellyfish heard about what you and your brother got up to and said STAY AWAY

[fervent ridge]

I still don't know how are you supposed to go down in jellyfish mode the rainbow kidnap me

[random edge]

I know but he’s terrifying looking 😂

[sudden pine]

hey i was like, 6

[trim spade]

There used to be a huge rainbow there that would not let you go. The rainbow is gone, but the magnetic force remains

[ashen tusk]

that's just rodney the invisible rainbow, if you desperately try to swipe you way across your screen they might let you down

[trim spade]

I wish the rainbow was at least still there, it’s pull would’ve been less annoying

[frosty trout]

We're talking to Rodney about not being so clingy and letting people have their space

[kind vigil]

average Sky moment tbh, just like the invisible boat under the terrain in the pirate

[frosty trout]

Also, thanks everyone for helping out with the test! As always, helpful for our team to see, and we really appreciate it!

[fervent ridge]

my simple report: stuck in the clouds

[trim spade]

Rodney is cute bring him back

[odd lintel]

can you investigate this CRIMINAL carrying around a jellyfish corpse? #beta-screenshots-videos message

[ashen tusk]

Okay hopping off for real now then, thank you for the jellyfish fun back to eepy I go

[trim spade]

Good night Bubba! Sweet jellyfish dreams 🪼

[kind vigil]

good night Bubba!

[trim spade]

Where do we get the fifth ticket? I can’t find it

[fervent ridge]

Isn't that bugged? I only found 4 of them

[late sonnet]

Idk man you died it's not my fault

[woven nacelle]

i have my home set at aviary and now i cant even login 😭 anyone else having trouble?

[thorny tiger]

i am😭 it was the same thing yesterday please just let me onn😭😭

[woven nacelle]

i was like ok once it gets me in the game ill change to og home but it wont even let me do that 😔

[thorny tiger]

and when it does eventually give u a server error and you retry it gets rid of all ur uid things, cant see settings, emotes or candles😭😭 cant do NOTHIN

[maiden pond]

Have you bug reported it? Make sure you do so, so that the devs can fix it.

[thorny tiger]

i have😭

[maiden pond]

You can't ask for exchanges of hearts in this server, beta or not. You can ask for daily light buddies in #beta-looking-for-group though!

[soft rune]

i missed the playtest

[prime cove]

hello, can i ask some questions? currently playing on beta right now but i can't interact with it, the whole ui is missing, is there a bug that i missed knowing of?

[soft rune]

hello yes !!! there appears to be a bug that makes the UI disappear sometimes
I'm not really sure what triggers it, but there's many players who have experienced it, the best its to report it

[sand dawn]

Jellies are nice and all but imagine we’d turn into those cute chubby seal creatures

[cyan ledge]

I'm having the same issue. Has there been a fix for it? does it fix itself or am i stuck until the devs do something?

[soft rune]

afaik there's no fix yet, as even today there's players talking about it, and there's no updates announced yet ;;

[spark lance]

There is no fix for UI disappearance yet, but for now you can try to terminate internet connection and wait until your emote menu appear. Then you can reconnect.

[cyan ledge]

omg it worked thaanks so much

[odd lintel]

YOU COULD HAVE BURIED ME INSTEAD OF DRAGGING MY CORPSE AROUND

[late sonnet]

YOUR CORPSE WOULD HAVE JUST FLOATED AWAY LIKE A PLASTIC BAG
DRIFTING THROUGH THE WIND
WANTING TO START AGAIN

[trim spade]

I think the UI thing and issues with logging in is due to the playtest. We did it y’all. We broke the servers 💪 I finally feel like an accomplished beta tester 🏅

[eager harness]

Yay it’s fixed! I missed the play test though.

[agile hazel]

Why did discord give me a notification for that lmao

[late sonnet]

~~Cuz baby you're a fiiiirewooork ~~

[agile hazel]

Cy getting powers to deflect pings now

[kind vigil]

I wonder if I can use jumbo command or is it a Mod-only command

[lilac solstice]

It's a mod and Shep only command unfortunately

[kind vigil]

Uh okay ty

[atomic elm]

My sky is still being iffy

It's still doing the error thing it did yesterday

[hallow orchid]

hi someone can tell me if rock dragon mask similar to auspicious visitor head was remplaced by white dragon mask as cosmetic ?

[sand garnet]

As far as anyone can tell yes, the days of fortune mask was the blocky one and now it's the thinner one. No need to post the same question in more than one channel though. ^_^;

[hallow orchid]

i have the right to do what i want especially when everybody seem to be afk

[ashen tusk]

people who frequent this channel also frequent the other beta channels so double posting won't get your question answered any faster

[agile hazel]

There's been an uptick of rude people lately

[ashen tusk]

I will also say double posting might mean you get pinged multiple times across channels from people sharing the same answer so I guess if you enjoy that then go right ahead

[agile hazel]

Also reminder you have the right to ignore questions

[sand garnet]

Most people who get answered similarly here just respond with a "Whoopsie, didn't know which channel was best. Thanks for answering!" So I didn't expect that. ^_^;

[ashen tusk]

Hopefully we can all just learn to appreciate that everyone here is a fellow player and sometimes it takes patience to get an answer, if we can provide one at all, and that we only encourage others to not cross-post because it's not necessary to do so. I for one live in across the beta channels so I'll see a message and answer it if I can wherever it's asked, I think a lot of others are the same!

[hollow compass]

Most channels have descriptive names

I would also always encourage seeking out the information on your own by using the search feature of Discord or even Google

[ashen tusk]

Are we supposed to have one or five buttons for eden gate?

[agile hazel]

Depends on what 'test group' you fall into

[tidal aurora]

do y'all think it's gunna be a lily pad cape or the flower on the lily pad

[earnest pawn]

Hmm.... I think and hope for a lilypad blossom cape

[soft pebble]

The flower

[ashen tusk]

I want froggo

Oh goody I got the load bug between dying and ascending

[sand garnet]

Hoping for a classic lily pad umbrella and a lotus or lily cape. Lotus would look cooler imo but the 9cd IAP cape is kind of a lotus so I dunno if we'll get another with the same kind of flower. I can imagine different lotus designs would be cool though. ^_^;

[ashen tusk]

Oh this is new, the bug has transformed hello to the single other person also suffering with me, we're in this together

Oh no wait that's just me, I'm in this alone 😭

[sand garnet]

Transformed in what way? ^_^;

[ashen tusk]

Well I don't know if you've ever experienced the bug where you just get trapped in a white screen and then it gives you whooshy black crunchiness in amongst the white and you just sit there for a thousand years until it lets you out - but this time I sat there for about a hundred years and thEN I GOT BIRDS EYE VIEW OF EDEN and then I descended into literal hell where I waited another hundred years

[odd lintel]

I feel like a pair of wings would be cool

also maybe a sneaky doot before reset surely

[sand garnet]

Lotus wings? That would be really cool! ^_^

Oh I've gotten the white + whooshy crunchies Eden bug before. Interesting development, sorry it trapped you for so long though Bubba. ^_^;

[ashen tusk]

That's okay it made for a good video hopefully! Also have we had a graphics update to the ascension sequence? Cause Eden castle looking mighty crispy and the clouds are very textured and NOW IM STUCK INSIDE THEM

[sand garnet]

Just showing off their new textures, a special close-up just for you. ^_^;

[ashen tusk]

I GOT FREEEEE and listen I know I don't eden often but last time I visited it wasn't this HD I swear

[odd lintel]

SHOW

[ashen tusk]

Hold on I'm still dying

[ashen tusk]

This is not feedback channel

[robust ether]

How come I just saw someone having the dragon cape ? I thought the days of fortune event was not out yet, or am I just late ?

[foggy crater]

testing for Days of Fortune ended, we're on Bloom now

[robust ether]

Yes I guess it was just a hacker, I'm on live version and they're wearing the dragon cape at granny's

[foggy crater]

oh def a hacker then, Days of Fortune doesnt come out till next week in live iirc

[unreal tusk]

THERE'S A GROUPTEST?!

anyways, what happened to the grouptest? ||Discord doesn't notify me, or even any apps I have 🥲 ||

[scarlet moon]

Are the bloom items still missing from the game?

[ashen tusk]

Group test was last night (?timezones weee), we hung around as jellies to help stress the servers, not a lot happened in terms of activity though

Bloom items aren't yet available, we haven't had another doot yet but I would guess they'll appear when we do

[scarlet moon]

I missed the playtest because timezones are timezoning, and plus my sleep is messed up.

[oak juniper]

Hey BetaChat
One of my upcoming college units is about games development, do you think there's a way I can use it to play sky beta on college time?

Or better yet find a way to include it on one of my assignments

[ashen tusk]

You could potentially, I'd imagine you'd have to confirm with your tutor, but it would be a good way to explore how gamedev benefits from active beta testing from their playerbase as opposed to internal beta testing - pros and cons and all that

[oak juniper]

Genius
Imma shoot a message to the teacher I've got for it when it starts next week

I was kidding i wasn't expecting actual advice in how to do that

[ashen tusk]

Best of luck! Even if you can't use Sky beta as a specific example you can probably still use knowledge you have from being a tester and seeing patch notes, etc. to inform further studies and research

[oak juniper]

Ty bubba

[scarlet moon]

Does anyone know why we still don't have the extra four friendship constellation pages in live like we do in beta?

[oak juniper]

It's probably coming with an upcoming update like Bloom or the mid season patch

[scarlet moon]

Also I'm seeing a purple sparkly cape that was added in beta for Nine Colored Deer season testing that isn't in live.

[scarlet moon]

It's been that way since they did the pages though, so I've just been confused for a long time about that.

[gray anvil]

That's the new IAP for days of love.

[scarlet moon]

Oh! Ok good. I thought it maybe was the old radiance cape and was sad that it wasn't purple in live because Vash wants it since he only wears purple and blue. Finally a really cool purple cape was added so I was hoping it was kept.
I've got beta PTSD from when the old Assembly ultimate cape was changed so I was worried we were experiencing that again.

[coral lake]

I'm unable to boot sky on pc

[dry ibex]

Hi there! If you’re having troubles opening the Sky demo version, then #pc-questions might be a good place to ask

Not sure what "waffle" means. 😭

[ashen tusk]

Wafo - wait and find out

[ashen tusk]

Anybody else missing quest spirits in aviary?

[misty bone]

thou i am not sure if it has to do with me setting my home as the old home and not aviary

[ashen tusk]

Ohhh so I have homespace as default too, but I saw the spirits yesterday (after I already completed the quests and handed them to the shrine, at which point I think the game realised and they vanished) but I haven’t seen them at all today

[drowsy fiber]

I don't have them either, home is home, not started the quests yet. Edit: Bug, I guess?

[ashen tusk]

I wonder why it isn’t consistent, I’ll go check my alt cause they have aviary set as default

Hmmm not on alt either, bug reporting it is

[steady moth]

The carry bug is so funny 😭

[odd lintel]

pspspspspspsp, come here doot 🪤

[misty bone]

i knew it will crash, did you crash?> judah

[misty bone]

i didnt see them at all at any times... www

[sudden pine]

I don’t see them until I pick up a quest and come back but the buttons are there

[rose nova]

LOL posted in the wrong channel xD cute lightning struck pose

[idle nexus]

The bugged out passage pants look like they've gone through an update. The arms look more menacing, which I appreciate!

[misty bone]

is there only 2 lotus ticket to pick up today? i cant see the others

[hard void]

Same😭 I have found rain only ☠️

[rose nova]

Got to go where the lightning is
I mean the actual lightning strikes

[misty bone]

lightining only strike 3 places?

[old sparrow]

Where can I get the Bloom Gardening Tunic outfit?

[rose nova]

Yep! So we get three tickets from lightning strikes, one ticket from interacting with the guide, and one in the area

[final gull]

I think it's not available yet

[bold heath]

Can anyone tell/show me where the bloom shop is? (If it's even available) I can't find it and I really want the pants which are not showing up in the store for me

[dry ibex]

Seems like IAP shop isn’t enabled (yet) in beta. The IGC cosmetics from the last years are available, but past IAPs are not.

Maybe a bug, I would suggest reporting it as a bug for now!

Past IAPs usually don’t need testing though, but it never hurts to bug report

[bold heath]

Alrighty, thank you a lot!!

[bold heath]

Yeah, but the cosmetics usually return and I wasn't able to get my hands on the pants last year (I bought the tulip cape before they changed it to IG and couldn't buy the pants later and really hope I will be able to this year,,,)

[dry ibex]

Ahhhh…. If you bought the pants bugged it’s very possible you’ll never obtain it in beta. We all have some cosmetics like this (love scepter, beloved ).

You can always test out the spells though!

[bold heath]

It's not the same as having them, and my sky kid is a herbalist 😭

[dry ibex]

Yeah that’s very common in beta, I hope your live skykid gets to live their best herbalist life!

[bold heath]

I unfortunately doubt that, I don't have a way of buying iap's but thank you 🙏🏻

[dry ibex]

I have been at work for today but…. We need to get electrocuted blessed by the lightning gods to get the extra ticket right? 🤣

[hollow compass]

yes, unfortunately
such a terrible design for anyone sensitive to flashing lights

[dry ibex]

I’m gonna collect tickets in a few and check it out . It sounds really cool in theory though, but I haven’t seen the lightning yet.

[chrome oriole]

So there’s supposed to be a ticket after the lightning strike? I’m not seeing any.

[gray anvil]

You have to get struck by the lightning for the ticket to spawn.

[chrome oriole]

Ahh so you have to actually get hit

Yeah I just realized that. I don’t like that. It’s very traumatic.

[dry ibex]

Okay I just left some feedback about this ticket rotation. I thought the lily pad tickets were much easier to find in the previous rotation!

I also ran out of light so fast - lightning ticket is cool though!

[analog citrus]

What is their obsession with putting these tickets in, around, and now under water? It’s a massive pain and bad experience and they just keep doing it. Took me 4 tries to grab the one under water :( also did they remove some recharging from Prairie Peaks? Didn’t there used to be more butterflies and suff. I run out of gas way quick and this stuff is all over the place.

[maiden pond]

There used to be butterflies by where the Guide was somewhat located.

I don't know if there still is.

[analog citrus]

At least the rain don’t kill you. (yet) I only found 2 of the lighting strikes. One near the guide and one by the waterfall. There are supposed to be 3? The ones I already got keep flashing so something is def a lil buggy

[inland hearth]

There is a third to the left at the base of the tallest peak

[hearty copper]

Damn, my game crashed when I tried to enter shard memory... I thought it would have more reports about it (Pc beta)

[sudden pine]

getting struck by lightning should charge you up to full wing instantly

[dry ibex]

I’m a big believer of having the tickets themselves recharge you too

[stable totem]

Or buff us and give us unlimited flying power (and speed too) ~~I need to sneep don't I ~~

[merry mulch]

I got 5 in total, each lightening stop give you one, wait to get hit for tickets to appear.

[spark lance]

where does the nine colored deer cape take you after the quests.?

[frosty trout]

Thanks all, we're set on the info now 🙏

Graphics don't look good on my tablet even normally bc of big screen probably, but recording got worse (but screenshots look way better than game looks for some reason)

[lilac solstice]

Lowest graphics settings caused a laggy video, while 30 fps, and 60 fps caused the video to be completely glitched out.

[dry ibex]

Good time to send a reminder that everything in beta is WIP, so things might get shuffled around in the future. For now, during this phase in testing, it appears to be IGC for tickets

[blazing blade]

So looks like this year is water lily for the flower

Obligatory Not A Tester, but wonder if this'll be the first year Bloom doesn't have a chat prop No wips posted yet at least

[dry ibex]

There’s a cosmetic available for hearts too, not sure what it is yet!

[languid sandal]

That'd be fine by me, after all who needs that many chat prop variations?

[frosty trout]

The umbrella and the new bloom cape are indeed flipped - in an upcoming build, the umbrella will be properly in the IAP category, and the cape properly in the IGC category

[faint comet]

Was there a beta updoot?
Edit: Ohhhhh, I thought my mind was tripping since I can't see anything on #beta-announcements. Thank you.

[blazing blade]

But floating lilypad picnic! I joke, the umbrella is a great alternative tho. Big fan of the design.

[dry ibex]

I will enjoy the umbrella while I still have it

[late sonnet]

THE MOST WISHLISTED THING IN ALL OF EVER FINALLY ADDED?!

[blazing blade]

Also wild seeing something for hearts after events moving away from them the past while

[spark lance]

I can’t wait for the next time that iOS beta invites are sent out, so that I can get my best friend into the Sky Beta w/me

[lilac solstice]

Android doot!

[languid sandal]

elaborate??

(the most wishlisted thing around these parts is a beta doot )

[stable totem]

That tlp (bloom's edition) hair is a MUST and I know it will be an iap. I just feel it 😭

[maiden pond]

Sagomay, while you're here I'll give you info on my device for Android recordings and also I'm gonna assume to bug report the new hairs reverting to moth hair upon reloading the game?

[timid bough]

you can’t tell me the new bloom cape isn’t lettuce

[languid sandal]

I can't get on so someone tell me, have more elder masks been added yet (jk i already know they haven't )

[sand dawn]

Are they safe to get tho? Or will flipping them as intended delete them from our inventories?

[frosty trout]

I think we wishlisted the leaf umbrella to ourselves even before the game launched in 2019 Pretty sure we had that in the Lightseeker's concept art at some point

I'm not sure about that

[odd lintel]

another event, another umbrella as IAP

One day we’ll get another IGC umbrella, surely?

anyway, lettuce cape 🥬

[languid sandal]

it's our duty as beta testers to grab those potential null items

[gray anvil]

Android doot is up

[echo mason]

Is it just me or

IM SEEING MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO'S UMBRELLA 😭😭

[sand dawn]

@ jemj.sokai
Yeah.. that’s kinda disappointing, really they should add just a simple umbrella that is permanently available, I could imagine an umbrella shop in aviary selling additional designs for various currencies, not just iap but also hearts/candles and like a really ragged up one for ascended candles

[dry ibex]

Personally I am also a fan of having more colourful / funky / fun and cool props for in-game currency, especially because of all the attention shared spaces are getting .

Regardless, the bloom IGC capes feel like a tradition and I’m stoked we’re having more variety in bloom hairstyles, now also including a more androgynous hairstyle

[odd lintel]

OH MY GOD THE PLANTS AROUND THE AVIARY EVENT SHOP

[dry ibex]

YEAH

[sick comet]

Where can I find the umbrella & cape?

[faint comet]

Aren't those the new hairstyles? I unlocked the one with event ticket but it shows I already got both of them

[spark lance]

Does anyone wanna be friends I have no friends and I’m still kinda new to beta🥲💗

[echo mason]

YESS MORE GREEN COSMETICS 😻😻

[faint comet]

At the moment, cape is in Shop and Umbrella is at Bloom Guide tree

[sick comet]

[odd lintel]

Lettuce cape + cucumber pants = salad

[viscid dagger]

Mee

[spark lance]

There are cucumber pants where ? :0

[idle nexus]

You guys might not be aware, but I went to the play store and there's a doot. Pretty exciting stuff! I wonder what's in store. 🤖

As of this message I've had a Sky video uploading continuously for 15 minutes to my Google Drive and I'm concerned it really bugged out because I'm unable to cancel it as well.

[spark lance]

OH MAN

[lime rivet]

sure

[left ridge]

Oh my gosh, if the leaf umbrella is a IAP I will cry. Becuase I don't want to wait for piggyback to come back, and I don't think I was to spend any money on fortune let alone the umbrella😔

[dry ibex]

The umbrella is an IAP, as confirmed by Sagomay: #beta-discussion message

[faint comet]

Piggyback doesn't have the umbrella tho. Might be mistaking it for Laidback Pioneer?

[odd lintel]

ooo one of the new hairstyles looks really nice with ox mask

[spark lance]

Yay I’ll send you a QR code ^^

[faint comet]

The new bloom cape suits perfectly well with base-game pants

My recordings have always been laggy, but it was worse with my phone's built-in recorder. The in-game one at least works, but it makes both the game (while recording) and the resulting video very laggy

[dry ibex]

I also can’t wait for the camping event to return! Seemed so promising

[edgy cypress]

is the IAP safe to buy?

[dry ibex]

The cape and umbrella will be switched soon, however it is always safe to buy - as feedback on cosmetics is needed as soon as possible.

Sagomay has a more in-depth explanation of this here: #beta-discussion message

You can, however, try out the spells too

[left ridge]

Let's hope they have mercy on us and price the umbrella at 10 or lsmt.. I don't think I can mentally handle yet ANOTHER 15-20 dollar item umbrella

Call me a bittlerling in animal crossing, because I'm mad, but only a little /ref

[spark lance]

GHE UMBRELLA IS SOOOOO CUTE IM GONNA CRY IF ITS 15-20 USD

[tropic estuary]

Umbrella is in the spirit tree

[dry ibex]

I hope the umbrella will make a sound when opening it, like the lightseekers whhwooopmh

[faint comet]

It'll be IAP in the future build

[tropic estuary]

Ahhh

[vocal widget]

#beta-discussion message
I AM IN LOVE I CALLED IT I WAS HOPING FOR LILY ITEMS omggg

[faint comet]

Ooooooh, that would be so cuteeee!

[tropic estuary]

Then the current IAP is bugged bc it gave me just the cape and seemingly 2 new hairs when the cape should be in spirit thing xD

[sick comet]

The green outfit from The Little Prince also works great with the cape 🤩

[odd lintel]

I did try that out too

[tropic estuary]

I bet the kid spirit's outfit from remembrance would be cute too@

[cinder chasm]

Are iaps from previous years somewhere? I’m hoping to find the gardener pants and picnic basket

[faint comet]

Ping's off.

Yeah, Sagomay cleared it up here and that it'llbe IAP @tropic estuary

[left ridge]

IT SHOULD AMKE A WATER DROPLETS SOUND

[tropic estuary]

Oh that's good! Haha I can't imagine it would have gone over well if the cape was IAP xD

[twin isle]

So guys the two hairs + cape are slotted to be igc and umbrella iap? I only see the cape whach has been flipped to be igc with lily pad brella iap

Just trying to figure stuff out not sure if I have it right.

[tropic estuary]

The hairs are on the spirit

[cinder chasm]

I think rn the umbrella+ hairs are for event tickets and an unknown item for hearts are all in the spirit and the cape is in the iap shop

[spark lance]

OMG YES PLEASE

[tropic estuary]

I wonder what the heart item is

[spark lance]

I just put this in the feedback hopefully they have mercy on us 🙏

[twin isle]

What's the heart thing? Iam one heart short and have both hairs in my closet able to be worn around though depsite only getting the brella from spirit tree

[late sonnet]

heart is the peter pan hairstyle, ticket is the swishy one

[tropic estuary]

Maybe the heart item is furniture bc I bought out both ticket things from the spirit

[cinder chasm]

I only bought the ticket one on the right but have both hair, what is the heart item?

[late sonnet]

right now both are available in the closet as is without needing to purchase from the guide
also if you scroll up, I just said

[cinder chasm]

I read what you said but I was just wondering why both were available to me when I only bought one item

[spark lance]

Does anybody know where I can buy the picnic basket from last year?

[late sonnet]

beta being beta, will likely change in future build

[dry ibex]

Oh yes! Both hairstyles were in my closet before buying this as well. Seems like a very fortunate bug

[unborn root]

TGC broke the tradition of free capes on the days of bloom, BUT I DON'T CARE LILYPAD UMBREALLA>>>>>>>>>>>

[late sonnet]

it’s going to be flipped in a future build, it’s not intentional
sago said so: #beta-discussion message

[twin isle]

Guys I love all these items.... This year's bloom is so up my alley. I love the green and dew drops oh my god. Finally my dew leaf on head has other dewdrop buddies.

[abstract vortex]

Oh Im happy the cape is an IGC , love the umbrella but i cant miss on that lily cape.

[maiden pond]

I'm happy about the Little Prince esque hair a lot, and the cape is great too. I hope that the hair stays as free IGC.

[calm wedge]

The cape is great! I love the fluidity

[vernal turtle]

I love all the cosmetics this year, they all look so cute

[faint comet]

I just realized.. only the 2nd and 3rd Days of Bloom Event didn't have a hairstyle/s inspired by the event.. what a missed opportunity.

[mortal saffron]

I think they should put one of the hairs with the cap in an IAP pack and give us the umbrella

[spark lance]

Anyone else notice that when screenshots are taken using your phone’s screenshot function & not via the ingame screenshot function for iOS, the screenshots come out with the brightness way up?

Interestingly, this only happens when using the actual phone’s screenshot function, not while using the ingame camera button to take a screenshot. Has anybody else noticed this?

[left ridge]

Since it's lettuce lily pad inspired I think we should have a lily pad flower hair accessory! Like the double ones from DoC but bigger and a pinkish coral orange ehhehe

[faint comet]

Sooooo.. more IAP? /j

[cyan gust]

Did I miss the event or something. I don’t see any of the items people are talking about

[hallow igloo]

Hello yes it looks like I'll have to get this whole events worth of items because green omg

[faint comet]

Check out IAP shop and Bloom Guide's tree.
Before that, check if you've already updated the game

[cyan gust]

Oh

Weird it didnt update

[unborn root]

Awww, just the item I wanted most is going to be paid for

if it's 10$ I'll buy it

[sudden pine]

oh no! my bug arms are GONE

[dry ibex]

Noooooooooooooo

Lily pad boat prop for bloom 😭😭

wow new cosmetics are very nice, finally can get a forest themed umbrella to hang out in my fav forest spots with 0 fear
sad if IAP tho, I mean I can afford it but f2p deserve some cool umbrellas...

[fervent ridge]

woot, doot dropped?

[tidal lark]

THE BLOOM HAIR AAAA question is it gonna be for candles or hearts

[sudden pine]

bloom cape: continuing the theme of bloom capes as food

[tropic orbit]

yeah i do kinda wish the umbrella was igc, i believe we only have one igc umbrella and its from the ts i already have it but i wish newer f2p players could get an umbrella too

[deft silo]

I think the umbrella is iap and cape is igc, capes are usually free in bloom. but let me say I just adore the days of bloom theme this year, it’s so magical

[tidal lark]

Is the hair iap or IGC? 🥹🥹🥹🥹
