Only to hide the edges of the world
But yeah a lot of times in games its all about resource management
Whether the resources is money budget, performance, RAM, battery etc
so the clouds vs cape designs couldve happened LOL
They seem to have updated their tech enough though to add some textures on the capes so we might be seeing some form of patterns in the future!
like with the new seasonals they have some patterns on them so
Just buy new phones if problem
I have hopes theyll try to bring it back in some form. The default capes will likely stay the same but maybe there could be new seasonals or new spirits that offer a patterned one!
the new seasonals are so nice... i cant wait for them and also that prairie cutscene update to be live
i hope they bring back patterns
i nEeD JoUrNeY CaPe
lol i get so confused in live sometimes when im burning the plants and suddenly they arent there anymore bc someone rung the bell
i know it
Why more clouds can be good in #screenshots-and-videos
cant wait for that beta fix to hit live
they removed it right before launch
haha
i got them all in one go in love today and i was just. itll be like this always one day
HAHA
Sometimes youre lucky and therell be other players also working to do it
Or just some very slow newbies
The other day i had one newbie who rang each bell as fast as they could im like AAAHH
i was the only one doing it but the other palyers that were around just chilled and let me go for it which was nice
usually im in a server with newbies that just go feral when they see the towers
I want them to make an area where the floor is exclusively all cloud, so then the oob would just knock you back into the cloud floor. It would be like an infinite trampoline room
for a while i was leaving candle notes like “PLEASE wait” but i gave up my quest
I forget if you’ve been to the mountains yet Pine
Want to give them a good name
I hope they didn’t get rid of them in beta though
How long do candle notes usually last? I wanna put one up whenever I can, it’ll be like extra heart revenue
I literally just make up some poems on the spot too lol
im not sure, its a whole process to even get them to the public stage, though, iirc, since you need your friends to like them
Hopefully the next season will go live sometime next week
I can’t wait any longerrrrrr
i hope so too ;w;
You can read about how message candles work, and known issues, at: https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/a/sky-children-of-the-light/?s=known-issues-events&f=why-am-i-not-getting-my-heart-from-shrines-and-message-candles&l=en 🕯
I think so since they said theyll answer questions about it in next fridays stream
So I'm assuming next season will start next weekend
that’s exciting
or at least around friday, yeah
i can put another $15 in
Season tomorrow maybe
Tomorrow!? That would be awesome! Haha ever since I found out there are wind instruments I have been so impatient/decided I need pass this time around
anyone remember what day of the week the last one came out on?
the season isn't gonna be tomorrow
yeah, i looove the panflute
they would announce it ahead of time
It’s mainly just because timing stuff with Eden reset makes more sense
Maybe announcement tomorrow then
also last season
it came out the day the game did
so that was a thursday
they're not gonna announce anything on a weekend
Like on load screen “ The season of light seekers is about to begin! Get ready”
i feel like itd be weird if they answered too much about the season on stream before it came out, so i was imagining itd be out thursday or friday, but yeah we wont know until its announced somehow
I still think the devs are fixing out the bugs at the moment
the umbrella still looks bad when running as a chibi.... literally unplayable
And the sound of the flute is so mute outside of home....
Yeah that’s a real bug that I forgot about lol
I don’t have the flute yet since I’m saving for the cape
does the umbrella look like the staff when you run as a chibi?
bobs through your head
The umbrella points forward
Hey guys, how are you? 😃
It’s like you’re holding a shield

ahhh
Hey DL78! I’m doing good!

Is there a reason they won’t push non-seasonal updates to live yet? Like skipping prairie cutscenes?
Ah
YOU CAN SKIP PRAIRIE CUTSCENES???
Yeah 👀
Best update ever 😂
Yeah that’s the best part of beta
I get so sad every time I do Prairie in live and get hit with the cutscenes still
Keep hoping they’d just push that part through
But I guess if it’s tied together with the seasonal stuff they can’t
Yeah they are the most terrible cutscenes because you pass from there a lot of times, you can go in the cave and back in the sections before, I'm always there for a thing or another, idk about you
😩
Yeah and for a moment I was actually trying to get all the light from plants there but gave up on that for my sanity
Yeah! When I try to burn darnkess there always is someone who lights the candles and all the darkness goes away...
rip
They fixed that too in beta
I'M ASTONISHED
Waiting for it in live is 😖
I'm still waiting to play beta so 😂
At this point you’ll likely just see the season in live
Does it ever become clear why friend emotes are unlocked through spirits?
no
😞
and i don’t think it’ll ever do
oof
hi friends 
i'm so close to getting forest elder hair i pray the update gets pushed back
less than 10 hearts away on live o:
😯
congrats! thats a nice hair
I don’t think the forest constellation changed so you should be good
what happened to the new 25 heart umbrella?
Moved it
to nowhere
rip
Lol
Only seasonal umbrella now
it was so pretty though 😢
Maybe move to forest after season ends
makes sense ^^
That way seasonal umbrella, but new players can still get an umbrella
i'm kinda hoping some of the winter season emotes get moved to regular constellations, i can see a lot of use for the thinking emote
and it'd be a shame for some people to not be able to get that
@burnt finch right now it’s under the forest seasonal emote but that’s unintended
The winter season emotes Used to be regular emotes besides juggle/curtsy and I’m still upset about it
Juggle 🙀
Thinking used to be in forest temple, kiss was a race emote I think
I don’t remember where dance was at all but that didn’t stop me from spamming l3 dance!!!!
seasonal emotes need to be less general use and more "look at this cool thing i can do"
because i'd love a thinking emote rn in live
#makethinkanormalemoteagain2k19
Play beta because fun and candles
be satisfied with your playtime
close beta
open live to do some candle runs
Get to prairie area
try to hit "skip" button
it doesn't work
close app
Thinking would be a good stance
Just emote constantly, duh
honestly, having a stance that shows i am constantly confused is a perfect description of me
Thinking (standing)
Thinking (sitting). aka The Thinker
Thinking (laying down)
Yuuuuuuuuuu
MadKing ring any bells for you?
um no
Rooster teeth, Achievement Hunter?
You know what would be awesome to add in the beta?
Flags in Home
It probably hasn't been mentioned, likely ever I recon
This may be the first time I’ve seen you bring this up, in fact 
Bad removals require good reminders
What’s the point of flags
Flags?
Thinking emote?

When is this season being released in live?
@lusty light you said it's under forest seasonal emote
I said the umbrella was
Oh
@crisp plinth we don’t know
So no way of getting it
No
I just lost all the sparkles in my eyes
@lusty light is it confirmed coming back?
Yea
If I remember there was a regular one too
The umbrella is bugged
Normal umbrella is under seasonal emote
So no seasonal umbrella
Wut?
You can’t get the seasonal umbrella atm
And the normal umbrella isn’t under the whale voice like it’s supposed to be
Afro puffs, poofy shorts, white/black/pink/beta capes
Poofy shorts where do you get these
Ghost manta call
Thanks!
How come they didn’t move the Valley candles this season?
The valley spirit was also just sitting there in the open. Is that unfinished maybe?
The candles are just always near the seasonal emote
Since the seasonal emote is still in ice rink the candles don’t move
Makes sense
I guess the valley spirit is like last season’s Isle spirit
Low effort to grab
The door is still there for the old spirit lol
It won’t
Aww
I think they just forgot about the door
I like that cave
There was a tunnel thing in the pray room during the winter season
That’s gone now too 
I like the orbs
A friend who knew where it is held my hand so I could fly around easily and look but woudnt give it away
I didn’t expect it to have a brand new cave so that was cool to stumble across
The orbs?
They added orbs on the boat in the cave
Oh when was that,
A few days ago
Isn’t poufy shorts butterfly emote?
The pants do need better icons.
What do the quests mean by “catch the light”
@hollow compass theres 2
@ember prairie there’s a giant ball of light you have to run into
So is it hidden somewhere or is it floating/ moving around? @lusty light
Sorry I’ve just never seen them before
It’s flying around
It's a new quest
A new mechanic
So it can be anywhere?
Today it’s at the beginning of valley
Do you know where it was yesterday? I obviously didn’t get it but I’m curious as to where it was
Beginning of forest
Oh wow thanks
It’s in the ice rink for me
They’re hard to miss: giant light tadpoles flying in the air... 😂
Is it different for each person?
Quick question, which spirit has the normal umbrella
I need to know
@small sierra do you have the answers?
please don't ping tgc staff for questions others can answer for you!
the normal umbrella should be under the whale voice, but is bugged currently and instead under the forest seasonal stance
For the seasonal shops for each spirit, does the amount of seasonal candles go up 2 every item? Or is it a random amount
it depends on the spirit
I’ve recently gotten into playing on my flute but it bugs me that I can’t play it anywhere else besides home
How are people wearing masks from the previous season in beta?
Because gratitude ran in beta
Curious if there is some sort of account linking going on
I thought it was all wiped
Ah
@warm timber perhaps you can delete that ping?
We did an access wipe, not a progress wipe.
Cool thanks 🙏
Prior to Live release there was a progress swipe to test the economy. So anyone who has Winter season stuff did not get them legally. 😉 and anyone who has top tier other stuff has worked really hard to get them. Kudos to the latter!
Does umbrella slow your falls?
It does when you’re gliding I think?
I noticed when I was in helicopter mode I wasn’t losing height as fast
Thanks!
I’m really looking forward to the umbrella(s)!
I had been hoping for a Lemmings or Mary Poppins style of slow fall! Would be pretty cute.
is it just me or are there barely any beta players online right now? 
remember that there's only 5k beta testers compared to the over 1 mil players on live!
beta has always been this quiet
except for the big boom for a few days when new invites go out
oh, i see!
i just usually see more people in the lobby but i see only 2 others right now!
so basically you're having a private server
I lost my mommy on sky :c
@radiant drum why did you do deviceinfo when i put my device?
or was that just for in general?
@vapid briar just pointing out since it was fixed earlier but relogged to find it placed incorrectly! 
That was just in general, but you need to mention your device, beta version and build like 0.6.0 (140773)
You didn’t mention your build number, which is included in the command
how do you find the build? i only know of the 0.6.0 
the version was missing the build number, which is the relevant part of that info. 0.6.0 doesn't provide details while 0.6.0 (140733) is what we're looking for. it ensures people are playing on the most recent build which will have fixes for bugs from previous builds.
Check the pins in the channels ^^
But if you know 0.6.0 you should find the build beside it
oooh, okay!
thank you for letting me know! and now i see it! i see it placed differently, but looking in testflight told me!
we haven't released a build that fixes the quest NPC location yet, which is why it's still happening.
so it may appear in the right place then switch to a different one? 
sometimes fixes for bugs cause other bugs to happen, like the npc thing, haha.
oooh, i see!
i am happy to know you all are so quick to squash these bugs!
We're doing our best 
Can anyone explain the special friendship rank to me?
I’m not quite sure how it works either
Does anyone know if any of the seasonal items cost hearts like lasts season?
Hey is there any plan to stop people from honking the screen black?
I see it’s still happening in beta
Hey is there any plan to stop manta from honking the screen black?
Lol
Hey which area is the wasteland seasonal spirit in?
Shipwreck!
Ah okay, thank you!
Hey Pines, about that invisible ship video, do I have to just wait until the candles show up or is there some requirement I have to do?
Ah
dont know if you need to light them with a friend or not
but yeah! once you light the invisible candles/whatever they are
itll make the boat go!
alright, thanks
Wait where are these invisible candles?
its an OOB/leftover code in prairie!
hey does anyone know how to go to space
You mean orbit?
yea
That’s in eden
thats in the office
how do i find it
orbit is also a word for the place after eden
oh
Space station? What the
Oh really?
once you go to the office, if its all dark inside
and theres a flickering tv
try clicking the button that shows up when you stand right in front of the tv!
Tv in the first room on the left?
yep!
its only possible 1 day per week
ive only been able to go on the days where you visit and its already nighttime
did you guys see the moon tonight? 
Guys
You know the permanent change spell
That makes you a different height
Is there no way at all to get back to your normal height ?
use it again and hope
Does a certain spirit give you the spell?
no
it's purchased through emote store
Emote store ?
the store you access through constellation
there're two spell purchase options, one with 1 candle gives you a random normal spell, another with 5 candles gives you a random rare spell, including the change-your-height spell
most ancestors have it
Ohhh I see, so to get the height spell I need to buy 5 candle spells ?
Lol I meant the spells that are worth 5 candles ^
I worded that weird
Haha
i'm not sure if the 1 candle item includes rare spells but you surly have more chance to get it with the 5 candle one
Alrighty, thank youu
np
inb4 the crown gets hits by the satellite
ummm i don't quite under stand
Like last season the last item from the seasonal spirit would cost 5 hearts
Is it the same for the new season? I’m not in Beta so I can’t figure it out for myself
no one can finish the new season in beta
@gloomy river Yeah, I’m pretty sure when this season hits live some of the items will cost hearts like last season
@dusky mesa ok thank you!
Wait does the “change your hight” spell let you choose your hight or does it just reset it?
reset to a random height
Okay ty @empty inlet
Has anyone been in the 8 player vault and completed the 8 player task? I just went in and other than seeing that the emote to ||summon Oreo|| was changed there weren’t any differences, but there were only 7 people in the room. So I couldn’t actually complete the eight player task. Does anyone know if the 8 player task still does the same thing?
i haven't tried but i think it's the same
Oh good
@gloomy river seasonal items don’t cost hearts in beta so it’s safe to assume they won’t in live
if they do i hope they can let me confirm first
I’ve seen that all the items didn’t cost hearts from multiple people and screenshots
And I was able to see myself that the umbrella and masks were free
do they plan to make the flute louder / longer notes? Cause rn I cant hear myself at all :v
What does it mean I can lose all the wings I've earned?
Proceed and you'll know
Are you talking about in eden?
eden is a risk reward sort of thing
Bru
you exchange the stars you've collected for special ascended candles
So it's not worth it?
it is!
Yeah, if you haven’t gone through eden yet, I’d recommend going through without spoilers the first time. It’s quite an experience 😊
it helps you unlock the rest of the spirit's unlock trees
And yes, it’s totally worth it!
Going with friends is nice because they can help show you the way and recharge your cape and stuff
Is the teal cape color different in live than in beta?
Did the ios beta cape transfer over to live? I know they mentioned beta things not going over to live, I'm wondering what'll happen with the android Founder cape.
@sharp crater beta capes transferred to live but it was only for players who helped before global launch
founders capes will not transfer
Yeah, the founders cape is the one you get in the office area. I’m assuming it’ll be available in live, since they put a price on there.
Nice! Thank ya
i hope it'll be free in live
because its a really cool easter egg that i wouldnt want locked behind a paywall
I think I saw someone mentioning the winter season coming back sometime too? They had some neat expressions. 
I doubt it’ll be free, especially with all those candles.
bird masks bird masks >:0
Yes! Winter season is supposed to come back at some point. I’m SO excited for that one
how much is it in the beta
I think it said $29.99 USD. (But it’s free in beta)
yiikes
i hope it's a heart purchase ggg
or at least cheaper in live
because im not willing to pay 30 bucks but at the same time, its such a pretty color
With the number of candles you get, it’s actually a good deal compared to their other IAPs. But I understand that it is a rather large chunk of change for most people.
I think tgc has been getting a lot of feedback from the beta community on it, so who knows how it might change between beta and live
i also hope that theres more npc skychildren in the future
I imagine it will cost money as it has a price tag listed
you actually do save like $10 i think for the amount of candles you get
plus a cape
think like, a traveling skychild that appears in the home space on a certain day of the week or month and will sell you a certain amount of hearts for 3 candles a pop
id like the reverse of that where you could buy candles with hearts!
once you got all the accessories theres nothing to spend hearts on but still plenty of things to spend candles on
so many different skychild npcs we could think of....
Exchange eden candles for regular ones or hearts?
and yea you're right!
yeah thats also a good idea panda!
once you get all wing buffs theres little ways to spend eden candles
Although if they keep adding new friend emotes, that will give us something to spend eden candles on
Same! ^^
ive run into a bunch of people ingame who are desperate for a way to spend their eden candles
its funny they went from being the most valued thing and now some people are like
PLEASE let me spend them to get warp
just to spend em haha
a capeless chibi that will give you a reward if you help find their cape again. they forgot where it was so it's kinda like lightseeking but without telling you where it is
you'll have to scour the area a bit
i think there being a way to purchase candles with hearts or eden candles might make it a bit friendlier for FTP players too
Yeah, I think the game has been out long enough that we’re starting to get the first wave of players who’ve gotten everything and are like “now what?”
they probably have a very bad memory
"i think i left it in... the place with all the butterflies?"
Awww. I would love a quest like that @worldly osprey !
not that its unfriendly for FTP atm but it could help equalize the playing field a little bit but still leave incentive to buy candles (as tgc does need funds so)
HMM
also thats so cute!!
i like the talking npc in the office
itd be cute to see more of that
"oh no.. i think i was in the place with all those scary shrimp things last time i had it. i can't remember what they're called!"
when you finish their quest they do the valley gratitude jump and then offer you a hug
Yeah I really like that @worldly osprey they could lose like their instruments or be looking for a friend.
That’d be cute
yess
what if they gave you a special item in return
once you complete their quest
the game does focus on like really exploring the areas with the stars and spirits
i miss that sense of discovery
and its like a one time thing you can do
that could be a nice addition!!
you should put that in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived
😄
but they'll still give you little treasure hunts after getting their item!
WHAT IF THEIR INITIAL REWARD WAS LIKE A MASK THAT MAKES YOU SUPER DUPER TINY
ultra chibi mask.
Yes! ^^ what pines said! ^^
thats ridiculous though what else could we do
i wanna finalize the idea a bit more before sending it in as a suggestion
What if npc chibis gave you flowers, that you could give or send to your friends? They wouldn’t have to do anything, so it wouldn’t affect the game’s economy, but it would be a cute addition that could contribute to the themes of altruism and friendship that are so prevalent
maybe random achievements that give you special dyes?
i think even someting like a pack of 10 candles would be a nice achievement
maybe they could give you a mask/cape that gives your character an effect other than chibi?
or like 3 hearts
hmmm
if its a frequent npc
ooh i remember dune talking about flowers once! i would love to give my friends flowers
and afterward they'd give younhearts for completing their treasure hunts
Or they could give you the ability to unlock a friendship tree emote for free
antigravity cape
maybe like hidden quests or something
and you could give a spirit your flowers and get toggleable flower crowns
Right chicky? I would love giving flowers!
a flower crown cosmetic would be So cute
you don't know what the quests would be
Omg. I would never take my flower crown off lol
a cosmetic category for head items would be cute
maybe thats what the ||crown of shame|| will end up as
I think they're going a long way with the friendship and heart changes they did....
^^ i would be more interested in hats if i didnt have to give up specific hair
badges/achievements.... maybe you could make your favorite badge float above your head
little halo accessory
Oh! What if when a friend gives you flowers, your skykid leaves a little flower trail for a while instead of the jet stream?
me: look at that guy over there! he has an explorer badge, that means he's been to a few wilderness/oob areas wonder if they want to show me how to get there
or pants that change your skychilds outfit like the winter ones
maybe instead of badges they could be like hats
id love more shirt changes in general,
sadly theyll never recognize OOB areas as being a part of the game play heather
but maybe you could make a discord group for it?
that why I called them wilderness areas
making OOB areas a part of normal gameplay would make them not OOB anymore i guess
but i could see having a badge for completing each level
like a wasteland badge?
some areas are much more oob than others
or maybe going through eden 10 times gets you a special badge
that's a good idea.... like "compelte wasteland 50 times... get wasteland expert badge"
i like the idea of being able to choose a favorite badge to float above your head
yeah!
same, then you could choose what people might come to you for
that could also kinda still encompass your idea too cause someone whos done wasteland a lot will know a lot more OOB secrets in that area 😄
there are a few areas that aren't technically oob, but just very inaccessible in a "way would you go there?" type of way
go past where?
what?
@torn gust have you been to the far west of wasteland?
In eden
@tawdry hamlet #eden-spoilers could help you out maybe since this is beta chat
Sure
also i havent explored wasteland much just cause i honestly avoid going to wasteland unless i have to LOL
its not that bad of an area....
mood... im trying to get more brave but i prefer going with people who know it
that oil water can stay way over there away from me thank u very much
i have more trouble with wasteland than with eden so ;w;
I was exploring the boundaries recently and am going to try to map this weird feature I found there
its just my least favorite level overall (but one of my favorites for storybuilding as theres lots of little storybits in the environment)
im trying to get used to leaping past the krill as fast as possible to achieve true wastelander status
red i feel you haha! i like eden a lot but wasteland for some reason? no thanks
i mean pines saw me accidentally jump off a cliff thats kind of my whole control level and wasteland and that dont mesh,
i actually kinda like wasteland
maybe because I never really had a bad experience in wasteland
even though krill have annihilated me multiple times
I remember getting hit by a krill in GW near that last gate, it threw me inside and I couldn’t get my WL
there are good hints that help avoid the krill.... like the pipe on the right of the 1 krill area
I used to dislike the area but now I’m fine with it, as long as you know where their light travels you’ll be fine
i saw some beta pics of it when it was blues instead of the olive green it is now
it looked pretty sweet
it might be the color for me? like edens got that ruined look to it and is way more dangerous but its absolutely gorgeous at some moments too
Sometimes I would like to explore Eden more but wind walls are a thing
wasteland is pretty but i think the green feels very sewery to me (which from a design standpoint i like that idea since you got the gross water and those oily sludge pipes)
but it doesnt make me want to linger and just admire the scenery like i do in forest or smthn
I LIKE IT but yeah thats why i dont tend to explore there much LOL
also @rich wolf can probably help you out with that @rich tundra 😂
true, wasteland does feel like a sewer haha
a sewer with a huge boat in it. a very very big sewer, if thats tthe case
i like to imagine that it was once the city that surrounded eden/the castle
a big port city with a shipyard and stuff
but then pollution and the war and eventually the water dried up leaving behind sludge and exposed pipes
the hole that's in live eden to take you oob was patched in the beta
I completely lost track of time, when is the season beginning in the live?
Next week?
Hopefully
they said they were discussing it in the next live stream last i heard, so people are theorizing next week, yeah
Cool, thank you!
i do think itll depend on ironing out the bugs in beta, though
another npc idea: a talkative spirit that you can find in the vault. they're like a magic 8 ball and they have a hairstyle they can give you
to get it you have to ask them "can you give me something?"
they will always answer this with a yes answer, and offer you their hairstyle or whatever it'll be
i won't ask someone i just met "can you give me something"
like what did i do he has to give me sth
Can only your friends see / heart your candle notes?
At first, only your friends can see them. I think it takes three friends hearting your message for it to become public
Ah, I see. 
How much does the piggyback cost?
@safe dirge 6 candles at Level 1, 8 at Level 2
Level 2 costs 8 candles or it costs 2 (8 being the total cost)? Also normal or ascended?
normal, and 8 candles
I gotta stop trying to help people in seasonal spirits. I’m the one who inevitably falls off or drops things. Mental note. STAY OUT OF THE CIRCLE. 🤦♀️
yeah stay out of it is the best help most people can give
the one in wasteland is an exception tho, it really helps if there's a lot people joining around
Yep. When I’m trying to get them for myself, I stay out of the way. Don’t know where this mentality of “got to help” comes from when it’s for someone else.
But yes, the wasteland I help out on. Become the crab target and krill distractor. It’s fun!
it meant to be easier with more people doing together, but the wasteland one is the only quest I see is really reaching this concept
also the valley one during winter season
the light itself can recharge you
ah ive not noticed that myself
wasteland actually can get tricky if theres TOO many people though as if you deep call while crabs are flipped over, sometimes theyll flip back over and rush you
Yes agreed. It was vault I was trying to help on. Was trying to hover close enough that if she dropped it I could catch it, but I kept falling off and shooting back up there. She fell off completely, I stood holding it but she must have been disconnected or something, she disappeared. Felt so bad.
i was fall responsible for making the vault one drop when we were two one spot left away from completing it :c
should've just climbed patiently haha
Glad to hear it’s not just me. Sorry @tardy dove , how frustrating!
my group was patient enough to try again though!
How do others seem to graceful and in control of themselves. Can do a gently fly-jump etc. If it’s too high for me to jump, I fly and zoom right off.
honestly i try to just barely tough the movement controls some times
fly first then move idk if that makes a difference
press to rise, then flick slightly forward
or drag your finger forward
but yeah, sometimes the controls seem to have a life of their own!
I feel like the vault spirit is easier with another person as long as you're both patient
That's how I got it
Vault is easy if you just don’t fall off
I somehow got the Vault one on the first try together with three strangers.
Thinking back, I have no idea how it went so smoothly, but perhaps we were all just very focused.
Belpita, I actually may have been one of the people helping you lmao
@fresh quiver I think you were the one who helped me get the Vault one :D
Yeah!
Any sign whether we’re going to see the new season in Live on Monday?
Don’t think so
We don’t have an official date yet. It just depends on how the bug fixes go!
make a new acquaintance
anyone wanna test out if friend added with qr code count for this?
@empty inlet still looking? :)
Just lighting up a stranger’s candle worked for me
the problem is, i can't find a stranger
come on, how come there's no stranger i can meet
even my subs
my child must had some mysterious meeting when i wasn't caring him
i lit up a stranger and it didnt register :c
Umm
Can someone help?
I’m in eden in the area that has so many children
But when i want to leave to the next area
It asks me two questions
But I don’t seem to be able to enter
Should i go home?
Oh nvm
It worked somehow
lol
I suspect that Lightseekers will go live around the 17th-23rd
Me bein a probably-not-a-prophet
Go home, u drunk
anyone have difficulty getting the backflip emote?
Swear I’ve flown into it twice now and can’t get the spirit to activate after finishing the race
why some people with seasonal mask appear smaller than people with chibi mask? they’re not using shrink spell either..
@thorny oak they’ve used the resize spell, it gives you a new permanent height
what? 0.0 where did we get that spell?
Randomly from seasonal spirits
Is the strangers being already lit a bug?
because everyone is already lit for me and I can’t even find a single unlit sky kid
Same here
I'm pretty sure lit players stay lit
I finally got the umbrella. Is it supposed to not work while you do anything other than walk? Lol
So useless
Wait now it lets you try to go home in rain but just doesn’t take you there?
Wonderful
I guess that’s what the umbrella is for 😂
Just being able to go home in the rain
Hi) Guys, I have a question - are purchases in the beta version disabled?
Why am I pooping blue sparkles? Is that a side effect of the umbrella?
i think i saw a similar thing a while ago
Woow ok, thanks)
but personally i've never had that kinda thing happen
Its so cool
It would be fun with a small inventory and the ability to pick flowers to give to different npcs
Or present items to an npc
I don’t want to read any beta spoilers but can someone tell me if the quests are a bit more varied? Like at least relive different emotes?
@ionic wadi yeah they are,some can be confusing though
Mh ok so is it better or worse than before?
I would say they are fun 🙂
Catching the light is a ball of light in an area, though some people mistook it as a bug, just gonna put this here haha
Ok thanks I am looking forward to the next season
So I figured out how to make the “make a new acquaintance” quest
Find someone you didn’t lit them, wait for them to hold their candle then use your candle to lit with them.
It wouldn’t work if you were the person who is holding the candle first and the other person is the one lightening your candle.
I hope what I’m saying is understandable 
Is the umbrella supposed to be like this or are they still working out the kinks?
Maybe they fixed something about it?
It’s pretty useless. I just unlocked it and am very underwhelmed
Who would actually want to keep pulling it out every 5 seconds?
I didn’t buy it yet so idk anything about it
I use the move controls to the left of the screen in order to jump, just flick that side
Why would I give up a chair or instrument or fireworks staff for that?
Send them a feedback 
ah yeah i was a little disappointed that it closes every five seconds but y'know nice photos at least haha
What's the rendering distance on the light orbs?
Ooh it's pretty far
Can we access settings before the Isle of dawn..
@blazing sail I’m feeling the same thing about the umbrella. I would be ok with just being able to walk with it, if it protected you from the krill spotlight or something... but just rain protection while walking in forest is useless to me. I can do that level flying around without losing much light at all
I expect the umbrella can be improved. Definitely send bug reports and/or suggestions!
Imo I don't see how the umbrella should protect you from krill.
"Oh that thing there is moving and has lights on it.. better keep on flying"
I wouldn't say it should protect from krill. But from rain while lighting candies in the forest, sure! I find it most useful when with a friend who is leading.
Oh it doesn't do that?
It does protect from rain
Maybe because you need two hands to hold it
But if you use it solo it's hard to keep it open
I also really like the slow drift down when falling with the umbrella open
Hmm, unfortunately some of the players are trying to be too helpful atm, if you see a player without a cape reluctant to go into Dawn, understand they will crash if they go through that portal
But on the flip side, love how many players have shared their light with me so far and tried helping me into dawn
I’ve had a person spend 7 candles to unlock chat with me just to ask one question today
How does one meet a new acquaintance for the daily?
Lighting up a stranger’s candle worked for me
Hmm didn't work for me
However it seems like it’s incredibly inconsistent
Okay good to know
noob question...
On IOS when you set a graphics setting, (the three ⚡ inside the battery icon) does it persist between restarts?
As I'm seeing it reset to one ⚡ every restart (crash and app exit both)
Hey friends :) When does this beta end? I’m assuming it has something to do with the daily quest lady being absent
@tawny nest No word on that, its likely just a bug though
beta doesn't end
I can’t go into eden
Oh! I didn’t know that
Umbrella should block red rain XD
Does umbrella block the rain from reaching the spirit thing when getting the forest seasonal?
Anybody know where the beta link is
@formal breach no the spirit floats higher than the umbrella
@steady yew beta is full rn but keep an eye on #beta-announcements
@dire escarp The power settings seem to stick after restarts on my iPad (6th gen), but not on my iPhone (6 Plus) 
Just buy a new phone problem solved
Definitely the easiest and least expensive solution
Cool, wasn't sure whether to bug it or not, but if it's like that in ios too, there are higher priority issues for android right now
Haha yeah maybe a few 😆
@sand dawn update your game
i havent been able to play for a few days because college has been kicking my booty, can someone explain what the new heart thing is?
also why did my mask change :(
Instead of sending your friends candle light, blessings now give heart fragments to friends
thank God
And cosmetics might change during beta
@inland osprey About your bug report: Did you buy sheet music recently? If so, open the sheet music menu and tap on the new one with the red dot, and then you’ll be able to get rid of it on your cape icon
I heard people are getting the resize potion from a spiit in the office but I saw the spiit and I like follow it til the end bu it disappears before I can claim smt
@past field i got it from one of the seasonal spirits!
Sigh
avo and i both got one but they were from diff spells in the seasonal tree
People are getting free cape too
i got it from wasteland...i think avo got it from forest?
Sigh I got nothin lol
it looks like its random chance on each spell
but the spirits in the office dont give you anything
Brah they told me to look for the spirit 😂 🤦♀️
they'll sometimes trigger an event (flying cat) or tell a story but thats all
Okie wad about r cape then from the seasonal
at least from what ive noticed haha
yep!
the purple capes are all seasonals
the blue cape though
that looks like the beta cape
My friend got it for free
it is free with the seasonal pass but you still gotta buy everything with the seasonal candles underneath
YouTube
beta is for everyone who was able to click on the link they gave out last week!
@dusk grove no. It’s just got a limited number of seats
its full at the moment
Well I'll keep my eyes peeled for an open seat then
Pines sista r u playing sky
I’ll race you 😂
mhmm! theyll probably post about it in #beta-announcements
im not on rn but i can hop on nat!!
Thank you for the info
O it’s fine I m just asking since like literally every player in sky server is not on
Thanks! 
@stable gate Please keep discussion out of the bug report channels so that it’s easier for the devs. But can talk with someone about their bug reports by @-mentioning them here or in the beta pics and videos channel 
Ok ty
Is there a way to see chat history without clicking on someone's [...] icon?
the text ... that comes up when someone is typing
The lower left icon only brings up my keyboard
Nope
Tapping on the icon used to bring up the chat history
I wish they’d bring that function back :/
@hybrid wedge 😮😮😮 I don't have enough candles now, so I ’ll buy an instrument and try it later. Should I delete the bug report?
@lusty light I saw you mention you are permanently small, is this a new beta feature? I did not encounter it yet.
Ohhh. Well, you could get a horn or harp from one of the regular emote spirits for like 5 hearts, if you have hearts to spare. Otherwise you could simply edit your post and add that you haven’t been able to check your sheet music menu because you don’t have/can’t buy an instrument yet.
(@inland osprey )
Yes @sand dawn you have to get a permanent resize potion
Ah, yes.. how many can you get..?
It’s random
Oh I have some of those pots
Is it a thing you can get from spells?
Oh ||snapperdoods|| there's a new version out
bugfixes and improvements
The cornerstone to any nutritious beta update
I will edit. Thank you @hybrid wedge 🙇♀️
Yes @sand dawn
Hey guys, are both instruments in this season only available with the seasonal pass?
Both of them require the season pass, unless panpipes has been changed in the last few builds—but flute definitely still has the season icon next to it. @kind briar
Which is kind of a bummer :/
Yeah, i was wondering about that since last season one of them was worth candles :((
Thank you!!
Do they both offer 2 full registers of notes this time around at least? (As opposed to fragments of a scale)
After being a smol child in beta I have concluded that I will stay average in live
I can’t find a seasonal candle in the wasteland 😔
back side of the boat?
I think I checked there
They're all in/on the boat
@tough quest Yep—two octaves, 15 notes like the piano and harp
Hi, I was wondering how you could download Sky beta
@spark lance It’s not possible right now. Read #news and #beta-announcements for more info on how to get in the next wave. You can also be notified when beta updates are posted by going to #old-𝚛ules and getting a beta community member role 
Okay, thank you!
Should we give beta feedback here or through TestFlight?
did we ever figure out what made people shepards?
because how about shepard-locked gates
Nope, not that I’ve heard
Technically when you’re a first-run (or maybe even second-run moth) almost all the gates are shepherd-locked gates that you can only get through by holding a more experienced player’s hand ^^
imagine being a sherpa in the valley's mountains
sherpa is really just a guide, a shepard
Hmm I’ve been to the secret place once in the beta but I’ve been unable to return to it with a friend or not. Is it a one time thing?
You have to be wearing the blue cape to get in
How did you get there before
Did you turn the three dials?
Yeah but where
Through Eden
That was a bug
There's three dials in the Eden area
Whaat
Your supposed to get through a wall on the first floor of the vault to get there
You have to get to the secret area on foot
I’m very confused
He’s joking about the dials
I didn’t know it was a bug
They said it was a bug in the patch notes days ago
Ah so it’s at the vault?
Yes
Yup!
I tried looking through the vault when I saw something on Facebook but I didn’t see anything.
Wait is it the wall with the levitation emote? I know the pray emote is there but I’ve been unable to get any vault emotes.
Hmmm. Don’t trust everything you see. Sometimes you gotta touch things yourself to know for sure....
I have a feeling I’ll never find it lmao
you can consider the whole area as a bug
Well I’ll check it out again later. I’ve got irl stuff to do.
The nickname of the area is "The most commonly watched tv-show that doesn't give you a personality even though you list it as one of your hobbies on your tinder profile"
And you can only access it from 08:00-16:00
My time?
No, he’s not being serious 
Standard business hours 
Gosh darn it. I’m really gullible
(Ah, okay wasn’t sure if you’d seen the patch notes or not ^^)
Especially when I’m tired. Lol
I think Starflame needs a sarcasm flag cosmetic that he can use when he’s not giving serious answers
Lol maybe
I only use those when I'm being completely serious 
If anyone is missing emotes in Vault, I'm trying to rally a group! (Cross-posting from LFG channel >_>)
i can help (trying to add a dev in game)
Oh I need help! I’ve only got two from the vault. I need the mind levitation one, the pray one and the floating one.
I see kanpai, not sure if you made it there too Zoe
Well I’m still at ground level. Lol
||Looking for the thing but I haven’t found it.||
try stand close to walls
We're on second floor, you need the telekinesis emote here to get the one on the first floor.
try somewhere you won't go usually
surprise
:0 my friends are there.
Alright gonna go do actual vault stuff now.
Oh RIP I took too long finding the first place.
they broke the home button imo
Does anyone know which spirits give out the resize potions?
All of them have a chance
ohh okay ty!
What does it do? Is it permanent?
So about this “make an acquaintance” seasonal quest
Is it bugged?
I’ve made a new friend and lit candles with someone and both didn’t work
it must be bc i lit candles w someone and it worked :<
Thanks bb
how do you get the android version
theres info in the beta-updates channel
So what got updated exactly? Just says bug fixes but id like to know which bugs
no one knows
Anyone have screenshots of the wasteland seasonal cape under different lighting conditions?
It looks blue on the spirits but they do have a blue glow
And it looks green in the season art
ping me in beta screenshots if you have any
oh it looks orange and then blue in the art
huh
Darn, it’s not teal cape colored
@supple pulsar when people run out of light completely they turn gray like that
Wott
They have no cape so they’re gray
I’ve done eden with other ppl before and this didn’t happen?
I’ve seen it a lot
Huh
If you run into a newbie with no cape or someone who just returned from eden for the first time they look like that
Also they haven’t fixed that glitch effect when using camera yet?
I remember someone saying they had a bug with the chibi mask. Does anyone remember what it was? I just got the mask myself, and it seems off
It seems like I have the chibi proportions, but am regular height
Yeah it was wack
Lili and I are about the same size, but she doesn’t have the mask. The other players I saw weren’t much taller than me.
did you happen to use resize potion while wearing the chibi mask?
also some players can now get tinier than chibi with the potion!
Nope! I just got the mask while we were in orbit
i think they updated the chibi mask to shrink the player but also give them more rounded proportions
i think theyre a little bit bigger too
maybe..
Maybe you are just super tiny, lili lol
could report it as a bug anyways just incase?
My normal skykid height is on the shorter side, so I couldn’t tell if it was just me or not. I’ll send in a report- just gotta get a pic next to another player or something for reference
The chibi mask is... big
Too big
Almost as big as a normal player
Definitely a bug
Ok, thanks! I’ll send em a screenshot 😊
So the chibi mask is no use with the new changing size spell
Can we use the chibi mask with another mask?
Or it only works with the spell?
Yeah you can’t double mask lol
I hope they tweek the Home button
maybe a "if have 0 wing power and flying" home is available
actually that's actually pretty good... the only times I can think of you being considered as "flying" AND "having no wing power" are mostly likely if you accidently get stuck in an area
@supple pulsar that’s unfair :”( they should like ... make something special about the chibi mask then
Is not like a regular mask is ,like a power lol making u small there’s not even a difference in ur face
i was also thinking about that. if people can now be tiny, why did i spend 20 hearts for the mask for anything other than some facial roundness?
I did cuz I’m really smart :”)
¯_(ツ)_/¯ people have been requesting it for a while now
(Irony) xD
Well I was like okay I’m gonna use the spell to be a giant and use the chibi mask to be little when I want too but like :”/
Do message candles still disappear after 2 days?
Sometimes I get the notification that someone liked my message but I’m like “lmao what message”
I think they should limit the height change spell so that the shortest you can get on it is still quite a bit taller than chibis
do the height potions give out random heights or do you get to pick?
random as random can be
It has a little message after you use it telling you if you got taller or shorter I think. When I used it it said “you feel a little bit taller” and I did!
Ohhh that's cool
@exotic atlas to continue from screenshots, i have not noticed that! i figured with a blue cape, i did not notice! haha 
The masks this season are kind of blue/green and grayish I think?
When I first saw them I thought they looked a little off because of how it looks with the rest of the warm clay colored limbs the Sky kids have and the brown capes
But the more I look at them the more I like them
I stillllll think they look a tad bit intimidating though
The same could be said for the dragon mask from last season though
