one thing we all do celebrate tho

#

Is New Year !

tardy dove
#

would be cool to have fireworks go off on reset/newyears hehe

arctic pecan
#

oh no

#

that means

#

looks at all the players with the firework staffs

#

TAKE COVER !!

#

Ok ok but seriously though

#

fireworks would be great for that moment

spark lance
#

Yes I like the idea of celebrating New Year!

#

Especially a countdown ...

arctic pecan
#

yessss!!

#

Good thing i’m working on the Wasteland constellation so that once i’m done with the cape, I could work on getting the firework staff!

#

then when times comes, i’ll whip out my staff and go saiyan mode

spark lance
#

@abstract snow If your question in the general channel is when will beta content be released in live, we don't even know that it will be released. Better to ask those questions here than in the general channel.

abstract snow
#

Didn’t know that

#

Sorry guys

#

Changing channel

spark lance
#

we like to say what happens in beta, stays in beta .... BlueThumbsUp

#

Beta content doesn't always make it to live, so we don't want to set expectations.

arctic pecan
#

things will change

#

so can’t really expect all of them to appear in Live

safe swan
#

So I know from nastymold that you guys have different times for things other than live

#

Per say the bat cape

radiant drum
#

Beta gets updates before live so they can be tested

#

So yes, the beta is more “advanced” usually

spark lance
#

And not everything in beta makes it to live

arctic pecan
#

Mhmm

radiant drum
#

~ testing fun ~

spark lance
#

-feedback fun-

safe swan
#

Yea so it’s like a final check for items and seasons

spark lance
#

Not necessarily a final check

safe swan
#

But kinda

radiant drum
#

More like a quick run for major bugs

spark lance
#

New content is introduced there, and we test it and give feedback

safe swan
#

yea

spark lance
#

There's no guarantee what's in beta will be released to live

safe swan
#

like that so

#

kinda like that jester hat

spark lance
#

Are you in the beta, dozen?

safe swan
#

No I was wondering

#

that’s all

radiant drum
#

Beta tests some bugs and we give feedback on builds and new features before they go live

spark lance
#

If they go live ...

#

If you;re going to ask whether we think specific beta items will be released to live, we don't know. We can hope, but we don't know.

safe swan
#

I know I can’t ask for it but thanks for clearing up my question anyway

#

but yea

Winter Solstice in the Office

long marsh
#

Anyone notice that the tiny Krill that was in the plant pot is gone? I just find it cute thinking it got upset and called it’s friends to beat us up

past oxide
#

That's a funny thought xD

spark lance
#

There's people setting up fireworks like crazy in the office...

hushed jackal
#

Couldn’t get to ||space|| through the ||office||. Maybe is glitched. Or maybe is just me.

hybrid wedge
#

@rancid pier Are you asking if the beta version will allow beta players to keep friends and friend levels the same the next time it’s reset? I’m pretty sure that within the beta, friend lists will stay the same. We don’t know for sure if friend levels will stay the same though. The first time they reset the beta they put friend levels back to 0 in order to test the economy; the second (most recent) reset they didn’t mess with friend levels

hybrid wedge
#

It’s possible it’s tweaked because they added sources of light other places in the game—like the office 👀

#

@hushed jackal is it dark in the office today in the beta?

#

You can only get to space if the lights are off.

hushed jackal
#

Yeah. Is space day. But for some reason is glitching on my end @woeful lodge

seems to be the case for beta and live

celest yarrow
#

Hi all! Is anyone having an issue with no shop or way to purchase candles in Android?

#

(open beta)

spark lance
#

You can't purchase candles in beta.

#

You're only able to farm candles. The IAP store is only in the live version (iOS for now).

celest yarrow
#

oh okay...I was able to get season candles and an adventure pass though

radiant drum
#

Only special packs are available in the beta version, but no candle packs IAPs

#

Beta is for testing and buying candles for free would defeat the whole purpose

celest yarrow
#

okay cool good to know thank you guys 😊

spark lance
#

Is it possible tu buy them for free

#

👀

#

When you’re in beta

celest yarrow
#

I wasn't sure because Its open beta not the "approved"

#

I was told they are two different things

spark lance
#

Like?

lusty light
#

You cannot buy any candle packs at all in beta

#

The only packs you can get are the starter pack, the founders pack, and the adventure pass

spark lance
#

Oh no

lusty light
#

I didn’t say that

spark lance
#

Sorry

#

It wasn’t you

#

Hey.....I was wondering how to get to the space craft in the sky office

spark lance
#

Explore in some of the rooms

valid gyro
#

can anyone with a beta cape bring me & a friend into the office?

lusty light
#

@valid gyro there’s no need to ask things in multiple channels, also when ppl ask things here it’s about the beta version of the game so asking for things for the live version of the game wouldn’t help you here

valid gyro
#

sorry seraph

woeful lodge
#

Have the devs/anyone official talked about where they intend to go with the game? Have they talked about new levels being developed a/o more changes to existing levels?

spark lance
#

@woeful lodge Yes, they have in the livestreams, and that's one reason to watch. You can go back and watch past livestreams on the same Twitch site noted in the #news.

woeful lodge
#

@spark lance so what was said? Are they working on new levels or do they intend to evolve the current levels? Where is the game headed?

torn gust
#

Its been said ( in livestreams or on their social media, maybe both I cant recall) that they do intend on bringing new areas to the game!

#

Its perhaps even hinted at ingame by the fact that even if you have the max 108 stars theres still a message saying the next wing cape wedge level is at 120 stars!

tall sigil
#

We can only wait for that full 5 outlined stars

torn gust
#

Im not sure if new areas means new levels or just expanding on the current levels in the game-Id have to go back and watch their streams-but stuff is coming 👀

#

Yes!!!!

woeful lodge
#

Thanks @torn gust.

#

This is a beautiful game but candle grinding is tedious and ubering noobs (while fun to watch their excitement) only provides so much satisfaction. With each update it seems like they lock/block more and more of the oob, so exploring oob isn’t sustainable gameplay. With all that in mind it’s not unreasonable to wonder what the gamerunners plan to do to keep people’s interest.

woeful lodge
#

@tall sigil I can’t wait to have 5 full outlined BATS! 😂🦇

pallid badger
#

Game play has completely changed for me since I started upgrading friendships and chatting. I used to happily solo through every day on the candle run, but being pulled through in a group, with chatter and someone playing music and silly shenanigans occurring, well, I don’t want to solo any more. I jump into a level, do a little bit, get bored and return home. Friends are carrying the game for me now.

proven trout
#

hearing that is really unfortunate. perhaps you just need to find more things to keep you in that are already there. i don't know if you guys have played since before the global launch so maybe you have more experience so to speak, but the game never gets old for me. i almost always run through levels solo for dailies which is fine for me. then i might help another friend through levels or play music or even just chatting and spamming emotes with people is so heartwarming and fulfulling for me. then you have the daily quests and working toward finishing constellations. i honestly think i could never get tired of sky.

pallid badger
#

It’s just so much more fun with friends at the moment. I don’t relish disappearing on my own anymore. It takes a lot longer with a bunch of people though 😂
I think certain moods dictate gameplay style though.

stoic badger
#

Id agree @pallid badger , friends really augment the game experience, there isn’t enough to do or make play with as just a single person

woeful lodge
#

If interaction with friends is so important, then why is it so expensive? The cost to interact would suggest that that isn’t the point.

#

Anyway, my point was that I love the game and I wanted to find out where it is headed without having to watch 2 hours worth of live-streams.

spark lance
#

I would say the friend gifts may seem expensive because they are worth a lot! And our friends are worth all the effort it takes to give them.

hybrid wedge
#

The upper level ones are indeed expensive, but the core interactions aren’t really so prohibitive—like high five, perhaps hug. And there are a lot of ways to interact just through using emotes together, or playing songs to/with each other

#

(Thinking about how much more expensive warp is now than it used to be—as a player that kinda sucks, but considering how powerful it is, I can’t help but agree that its place is way at the top of the friend tree ^^)

vestal kraken
#

How do you get the new Halloween cloak?

lusty light
#

It’s in the iap store

hollow compass
#

@woeful lodge , friendship costs have been through a few iterations. I think the way they are now probably works best for how large the community has become. Back in early beta, the community was smaller and more close-knit. So, there was a lot of trust. Nowadays it's probably better to not take friendships too seriously. An element of commercialism has perhaps entered the game, making friendships more about the monetary value (=hearts). Even if you upgrade and invest in someone you thought was a friend, you can still end up getting blocked for no apparent reason. In essence, we're all strangers to one another and it's probably unwise to put that much emotional labour into what is literally fancy pixels on a screen. Value the playtime you have with someone in that moment, but don't expect it to last forever. Lol, I sound a little bitter, but really, I'm not. I just try to be a realist. After all, we can do some pretty amazing things all for free, even if it takes a bit of farming.

How do you get the bat cape?

tidal veldt
#

check the store

proper wagon
#

I did even talked to the girl in the office, nothing appeared in the store.

fresh quiver
#

It's in the regular store, not the office store

proper wagon
#

It’s not there either

urban grove
#

Look around for some extra spirits in the office

vapid drum
#

@proper wagon you know it’s beta only atm where you can get the bat cape ? And you need to be on latest update

proper wagon
#

Yes I know I’m on the most current beta. It might be a bug so I sent in a bug report

vapid drum
#

It should be in the middle of the office , there are 2 spirits there that interact like the one with the blue cape.

#

And you do see the Halloween themed office when you’re there ??

proper wagon
#

No I don’t see two spirits and it’s not Halloween themed

vapid drum
#

That’s weird

#

No TestFlight beta update ?

#

Or are you on android

proper wagon
#

iOS

tidal veldt
#

that probably means that halloween is over and you cant get the cape anymore

proper wagon
#

That was short only 11 days

#

But if that’s the case I’ll just wait till live

tidal veldt
#

i think bat cape is supposed to be a time-limited option cause its about halloween you know, makes sense

spark lance
#

And makes sense we're only testing it in beta ...

proper wagon
#

Ok well thanks for the info

spark lance
#

It was there long enough to do the tests needed.

vapid drum
#

Oh , yep , just checked , Halloween is over

proper wagon
#

Ok thanks guys. It’s to bad but it’s my own fault I was late

#

This means the krill above the office are gone too, I suppose? sCry

Until they (hopefully) come to live.... 👀 krillin

Sad times. I headed in just now hoping it wasn’t true. Alas....

we should check under the office next time were both on beta skymii!

#

Any hint to as when Halloween office might make it to live?

pallid badger
#

Probably right around Halloween. Can’t think, how many days did it last for in beta? 3-4?

#

I imagine it will be a 3-4 days event in live too.

atomic trail
#

maybe 4-5days.
I notice halloween office on October 17th at night, and it seems ended on 22th.

hushed jackal
#

So around Monday next week " IF ! " it gets implemented on live. We don't know if it will make it or not.

Halloween package has gone? 😦

Is that sky bot having troubles atm?

Going a little slow (first couple timed out after the minute), but is getting there now

hybrid wedge
#

@dire escarp I was having trouble too, but it appeared to be a Discord issue, according to their status

dire escarp
#

Cool, just checking incase it was me

#

Would it be possible to increase the 1 minute timeout on the bot a little?

hybrid wedge
#

For which fields, @dire escarp? Some are one minute (like Apple vs. Android), others are ten

spark lance
#

When is the ios beta gonna be free ugh?

dire escarp
#

I guess all 1 minutes being 2 possibly while discord is having troubles

hybrid wedge
#

Oh I see what you mean. I don’t think it will be possible to change the bot like that so quickly for something that’s a temporary issue, but I can try to flag it anyway

dire escarp
#

As a couple timed out, android or ios on the first and additional information on the second

hybrid wedge
#

@spark lance the beta is already free ^^. If you mean when more spots will be opened, it really depends on what TGC needs and how the process for the Android beta goes

dire escarp
#

Yeah, I'm just raising it as a suggestion, hopefully discord will get their stuff sorted soon

hybrid wedge
#

I hear you @dire escarp

That’s what i meant... free spots sigh.

I didn’t realise I was in beta discussion

quaint onyx
#

Which philosophy you guys think we should have as beta testers?
Intentionally trying to find bugs? Or playing normally and stumbling upon bugs as they pop-up?

vapid briar
#

Seriously though, both approaches are useful and appreciated equally. The important factor for us is that people continue to play on Beta so that we have data to examine. I know the allure of Beta is being first to see what's new, and once the new shinies wear off it's not as enticing to keep playing. One of the goals of having beta testing in the first place is increasing exposure to potential bugs that may not come up during internal testing so that we can identify and fix them before they are released to the greater audience.

quaint onyx
#

Its wrecking time!

rich wolf
#

if you go intentionally looking for bugs though.... it almost becomes less fun

#

because they get harder and harder to find

#

or they don't fix the bug in the way you might be thinking to fix the bug

torn gust
#

Not sure if its supposed to looking for the bugs just for the sake of fun (though it can be), you look for bugs in beta to help improve the game

#

Some people are avid and determined bug seekers although even more casual playstyles are appreciated like what Ktjn said above!

rich wolf
#

Im more saying that searching for bugs can be a fun experience...

hollow compass
#

This is why it's so important to read the patch notes (at least if there are extensive ones, lol!); you already have a set of things to bug test there. Unfortunately, some things may be almost impossible to test because there are fewer players in beta. This was the case with the server merges/disconnections when entering new areas (or sometimes even within the same area), because we just couldn't stress test the beta servers that way.

#

love the friendship button!!! thank you!

feral torrent
#

Useless button!

#

We should be able to access to the constellation in any are at home not in the centre only where there are always people messing with the tsble

carmine owl
#

I do agree that people can be annoying/distracting when you're trying to use the constellation menu. im not sure what a good solution would be as people could harass you anywhere at Home... I almost wish you just didnt see them or get affected by them at all, but its also good to know when your friend is standing there trying to get your attention 😂

feral torrent
#

Just need a separated me\end to at least access to our friends list

#

*menu

#

There’s not point of this button when u can just tap OJ the regular one and do a long swipe and reach the friendship constellation

carmine owl
#

I have a hard time with the regular menu.. it never ends up where i want it to if i swipe, but the arrows are so impossibly tiny i constantly miss them and click off the menu and it closes.. (and im on an ipad) so I like it.

#

sometimes im in a rush to join a friend and its so frustrating trying to get through the clunky menu

feral torrent
#

U gotta swipe not ripe on those buttons

#

*tap

#

Even when I’m playing with controller I just swipe

#

Lot faster

hollow compass
#

not sure i like the hug symbol as a friendship menu button; it's a bit confusing, as you can sometimes have an actual friend standing on the platform wanting to hug you

#

I don't understand what - Invert camera and invert flight control settings means

lusty light
#

It inverts the y axis

hollow compass
#

I don't notice any difference

#

I'm confused now

#

help?

#

oh, hang on

#

lol, the invert flight option is properly confusing: you drag up and fly down SkyLOL

lusty light
#

That’s how old flight games are controlled

#

So ppl still like to play that way

hollow compass
#

true, I recognise this "move control in the opposite direction" system

#

interesting addition

#

I wasn't aware it was something people had been asking for, though

#

I would have liked the camera to be more controllable in that it would stay were I angle it, and of course also get rid of all the forced camera angles that can wreak havoc in the proximity of krills

lusty light
#

I want the x axis to be inverted when I invert camera controls :(

sage mulch
#

My dad will probably use inverted controls whenever he's able to play. My parents always seem to use inverted controls when they play games, and that's probably why.

fringe oxide
#

Ehh not liking this friend shortcut button. It makes the UI look cluttered. It would be better if the shortcut was there after you open the constellation

#

It also doesn’t even take you to the start of the friend pages. It drops you in the middle, so to see everyone you’d have to cycle back through the pages you’ve already been to

proven fog
#

@fringe oxide I agree, I don’t like it either. It doesn’t look good. What people were asking for is to be able to do a search for friends or organize them, not this

dry pivot
#

Though I wish we'll have more improvements on friend constellation in the future, I like this new function. It's useful when I get separated from my friend want to teleport back immediately.

proven trout
#

it's helpful for that, but it also assumes said friend is a favorite friend and is in the crown constellation

fringe oxide
#

Yeah if you have more favorited friends than fit in the crown, they get pushed elsewhere anyway, and you have to look through all the pages

I think it looks much better to just have one button floating there. If there is a shortcut it should be accessible, maybe on the top bar, once you open the constellation

echo wind
#

My only feedback would be that perhaps instead of a hug the button should look like the favorited friend crown, but otherwise I really like this new button

torn gust
#

Yeah I can see the hug icon being confusing and having people mistake it as friends offering a hug if theres people nearby

spark lance
#

I like this new button too because I would rather the default constellation view be the favorites. It's funny because it only takes maybe 3 seconds to scroll over to favorites, but still it's one of those little annoyances.

fringe oxide
#

Yeah I don’t mind the idea of there being a shortcut. I just don’t like the UI. To me it looks as bad as those Shepard badges. Maybe if it were smaller, the icon changed to one that wouldn’t be confused for hug, or located once you open the constellation

spark lance
#

I hope the badges go away .... soon too.

sage mulch
#

I think my only real problem with the friend stars, is being rotated away from the page of stars (constellation?) you’re on when you’re done interacting with a friend. (sending them a heart, lighting their candle, etc.) This is mainly due to the which way your sky kid is facing after interacting with the friend. So having to scroll through the constellations after lighting a friend’s candle every time can becomes really annoying. Fix that problem, and I’m fine..

fresh quiver
#

I was fine with the button until I discovered that I can't look towards the friend constellation and press the normal button anymore, it rotates me away from the friend constellations. So now I really don't like it, I always go from one side to the other, so to have the friend button take you to the middle page is annoying. I want to be able to look at whichever friend constellation page I want right when I click, I don't like that it forces you to either look at the middle one or look at the regular constellations to the sides

pallid badger
#

I like the function of the button, it’s nice to get straight to the friends constellation, but yeah, I’m not keen on the button itself. I tend to panic smash when I’m in a hurry and I just know I’ll hit the wrong one sometimes which will annoy me and delay me. 😅

#

I blocked a friend, but the blocked friend is not appeared in the blocked friend list. I am suspecting the blocked friend list is not working or I am misunderstanding how the blocked friend list works.

cyan pagoda
#

It is not clear to me how to unblock a friend if I blocked a friend accidentally.

spark lance
#

With the friend constellations open in Home, tap the upper right unblock icon. Scroll to the name to unblock.

cyan pagoda
#

For testing, I have almost blocked all of my friends, but I still cannot see any friends appeared in the menu of the unblock icon.

#

Tapped the upper right unblock icon, and see nothing in the list. There are no friends to be scrolled.

spark lance
#

It will first appear blank. Tap the right direction arrow to see the beginning of the list.

#

Does anyone know when I’ll be able to get the bat cape in live? Or is it still unknown

torn gust
#

Beta cape was only for beta players who helped before global launch

#

If you joined beta in this recent wave, you won’t be getting it

We don't know when the bat cape will be available in live as well as any other features and items that are currently in beta.

I’m eager for the bat cape to hit live though....I keep checking the shop 👀

I want to know when we're gonna have a coffee cape that lets you fly around at double speed.

#

@torn gust think it’ll be bought from office or regular shop?

Im not sure! Reika’s npc in the office made it sound like you had to talk to her first but it got moved to normal shop in beta

#

so its anyones game!

We might need an actual update for live in the app store though before spooky office and bat cape comes to live

So if that happens then def check the shops asap 👀

I have reviewed the list many times and reported this bug.

I was in beta but i deleted the beta version now i wanna install it again how can i

hollow compass
#

that depends on when and which one

#

if it's iOS, then the beta is currently full and you will have to wait until next sign-up

#

for Android, I think they are still taking applications, but you may want to check out #beta-announcements for that

may I ask why you deleted it?

weak tusk

😦

#

I didnt want to play in that time period but now i do

I understand

#

I suppose beta takes a bit of dedication and sometimes you just don't have that energy

#

I'm sorry

weak tusk
#

Yeah thanks

hollow compass
#

when did you delete the app? I'm not sure if they actually purged inactive players, but I do know we all lost access to our accounts during the last sign-up.

#

Hey guys I have a question that I'm not sure if this is a beta players only feature

#

There are several times where I heard a player did a realistic bird/manta call, like the ones in the over world

#

It's not the usually 'beep' calls regular players make. Apparently I'm not the only one that heard this before, so are these different calls a beta player only thing like the winter emotes?

rich tundra
#

It became fifteen bucks?

#

Are you kidding me? I was looking forward to purchasing it

timber ridge
#

Could we spend some time praising the excellent work of the fx and sound designers? There are few game with such tactile qualities to the fx.
My personal favourite are the sound of footsteps on snow and ice I wouldn’t mind feeling a little rumble when sliding over it). The different animal calls are great too.

rich tundra
#

I agree, remember how you would walk into the ridge race area? This little platform had a sound that I liked but now it sends you to the starting area 3/4 of your way there

#

Where do I buy the blue beta cape, if I can buy it?

pallid badger
#

The blue founders cape can be bought from the office shop. The beta cape is not available for purchase. It was a one time gift for the earlier beta testers/soft launch players.

sudden leaf
#

Ahh, ok. I’m not sure where the office shop is, though

#

Is it in the vault area?

arctic pecan
#

Mhmm

sudden leaf
#

Where in the vault? Is it that secret area sort of in the back from where you spawn?

arctic pecan
#

Mhmm! that one!

#

Though you’ll need someone to take you there

#

you’re in Beta or Live ?

rotund mist
#

Do you have to be a current beta tester to get the founder’s cape?

sudden leaf
#

I’m not in beta, but I think I’m in live. If live is referring to the livestreams, then I haven’t been able to join because of inconvenient schedules on my part

arctic pecan
#

Live meaning the Official Version of the game

sudden leaf
#

Oh wait, never mind I’m dumb, yeah I’m in that

#

I have the iOS version of the game

arctic pecan
#

to take you there

#

since I do not have the founder cape nor the original beta cape

sudden leaf
#

Ah, ok. Thanks for the help Bow Bow

#

How much is the founder’s cape anyway

arctic pecan
#

@rotund mist If you mean by the Live version , no

#

ah ok

Hmm I forgot but for my case it’s $40 something AUD

Yes that’s confirmed by tgc

#

@hybrid wedge I’m actually feeling hopeful that the pumpkin hair will be a gift on halloween day for all players that login. In part because of where they added the hair slot. It’s one slot ahead of the default newbie hair, which is free. Honestly as long as the hair makes its way into the game somehow, I’ll be happy. It’s so cute! It could be the start of a small tradition where for Halloween, Christmas and other major international holidays each hear the sky community get a themed accessory from the devs as a way to celebrate

Beta and live are separate so you can play both on the same device

#

Also to play beta on iOS you need TestFlight, they will post an invite link for TestFlight on discord that you need to open on your phone

halcyon meadow
#

...okay?

spark lance
#

There really isn't a beta suggestions channel. You can use the in-game support function to also provide feedback though.

#

The reason there isn't a beta suggestions is that it's assumed a lot of beta content makes its way to live, so the live suggestions channel is the single source TGC wants to review.

Soon for Android beta they said, and it hasn't came yet.

#

@halcyon meadow You can do both at the same time. I won't say you "should" do either or both, cause it's really up to you and your mother. If you can use her iPad whenever you want, then you don't have to wait and you can start playing live version of Sky now, and probably you'll be able to sync your progress with your Android device when Android Sky go live.

How do you become a shorty mcshort? Is it the clothes?

You can get resize potions when you buy spells too

I think the 5 candle spells give chance to a resize potion

unreal stone
#

@vapid drum but it’s underneath the current constellation symbol, the current shortcut. The patch notes says “added friendship button to quickly access to friendship menu in home.” I don’t think the hug symbol is the friendship button, since why would they put two buttons to access the friend stars, and one that already means “hug” too? I feel like it should be a different symbol, and located where there wasn’t already a shortcut.

Well, if they did, it sure looks confusing… Think

@unreal stone, I suggested them to replace it with the real friendship button, I thought the hug was totally confusing. I don´t really like the placement either.

unreal stone
#

Ah so that’s the new ‘friendship’ button for reals? Yeah I don’t see the point in it. I think it just adds more visual clutter with 2 buttons to do the same thing at the same spot and is confusing (looks like a bug, since there’s no one to hug).

@elder shard if you wanna see this friendship button, I had reported it as a bug in channel beta-bugs-iOS and included a screenshot, because I thought it was a bug

Yup, in-between seasons in the live version.

#

So around when Lightseekers end, we’ll be testing a new season... hopefully.

Why is this game did not release in android??¿!!!!😤😤😤

misty hazel
#

Can someone explain how I can get the headphones in the android beta. I played music from another app but it didn't appear

pallid badger
#

If it was reliably going to work across the major android engines and devices, it would have been released sooner. There are still problems that need fixing and they are working really hard. Patience is a virtue. ❤️

hollow compass
#

@celest yarrow the point of beta is to test new features that may be released to the Live game.

celest yarrow
#

yes I know this

hollow compass
#

So, we don’t just “get” seasons, we are supposed to test them for potential bugs and glitches. Along with other features TGC are considering introducing to the game, such as the current friend button at the constellation stone.

radiant drum
#

Seasons are usually shorter in beta as well

celest yarrow
#

Someone told me there are no seasons in Beta that's why I asked ..the first time I played was towards the end of one so I didn't know if they discontinued it or not in Beta

hollow compass
#

I see. Yes, sometimes the season in beta is shorter or ends “prematurely”.

#

But again, anything that appears in Live is usually tested in beta first.

#

That’s what beta is for. (And friends...?)

Who else is excitedly (and slightly impatiently) waiting for next week? I’m hoping there is a new season to test! I’m also slightly concerned with the long drawn out android testing process, in that since it’s still a major focus, whether there might be a delay in the next season or not. Guess only time will tell!

I’ve been neglecting beta, and when I signed on today my friendliness meter had gone down 😅😭

quaint onyx
#

If they had implemented a full sliding scale for the friend rating, -100 to 100 instead of 0-100, now that'd be something fun

#

Growing little devil horns if you slip to far into the negative...

brazen flicker

Lol! Skykids could start making that krill crackle noise as they walk

just don't rate how friendly a player is

@woeful lodge here's the answer to your question in #593970570442440724 : "KtjnToday at 12:36 PM
The messaging is hard coded into the system schedule in advance. we don't have the ability to edit it on the fly right now. We're working on changing it so we can be more reactive with messaging."

#

thats why it was still saying there was one today

turbid bear
#

Ah ok so does that mean friend rating might eventually be in live? I like the idea from what I’ve heard about it so far

hollow compass
#

the friendliness rating is still there? urgh.

#

I hadn't checked in a while and hadn't seen the badge on anyone, so I just assumed it was finally patched out

vapid briar
#

it's still being iterated on and has gone through some changes over the course of several builds.

hollow compass
#

I see. (But I still don't like it. SkyLOL )

elder musk
#

@quaint onyx Like in Fable 😇 😈

pallid badger
#

I don’t like it either. If you’re kind and helpful, you’re kind and helpful. You don’t need a badge of honour. 🙂

arctic pecan
#

RalseiSwish Agreeing with Belpita and Boon

turbid bear
#

Maybe some active status? Like so you know if that person is active

#

Bc friend lists get rather confusing when there are a lot of people who just stop playing all together and it’s hard to know when you need to remove someone to clear space

quaint onyx
#

Yeah, I still don't know, for someone's star to be empty, that means they collected the previous light you sent, right? And therefore still playing?

#

There's not like an expiration date on light gifts, right?

quaint onyx
#

And on badges, the Newbie badge is actually useful. New players and OOB enthusiasts are almost indistinguishable! Is that guy jumping repeatedly into a wall lost or a pro?!
That badge has saved me many candles.

turbid bear
#

Idk I’d just like a “last online (for example) 11 hours ago” kinda thing

elder musk
#

@turbid bear I wouldn't, privacy and all. But a voluntary status setting would be cool.

turbid bear
#

I mean a lot of games have that

#

Animal crossing pocket camp and the switch friends list comes to mind

#

But if they were to add it maybe it could be optional to have on or not

#

Maybe like a “never show” “only show friends” or “only show mutual best friends” kinda thing so not everyone can see

#

But that would be harder I guess

hybrid wedge
#

Definitely don’t want that kind of info to be automatically available. I don’t have that label floating above my head IRL, I don’t want it in Sky life either 🙃

alpine tartan
#

i think itd be cool as an optional thing for sure

hardy carbon
#

an "active" vs. "inactive" indicator would be nice though. I have a lot of people in my friends list that are definitely never online and no real way to sort them

topaz pewter
#

Do we have any idea when the next beta wave will happen?

gilded siren
#

yea cd like a very active, active, inactive thing might be nice but optional because u know

hybrid wedge
#

@topaz pewter nope. When things like that happen, TGC will announce it in #beta-announcements, so your best bet is to keep an eye on that channel.

Ok, thanks!
