i got the emote though
Oh ok good
and funny enough the times i tried doing it alone, i crashed lol. didn’t crash until someone showed up
fun times
Live is so drab without that emote
If you get stuck in the cave with no light, go to the post that you light up to bring the elevator down, and just keep relighting that over and over. It will charge you very slowly, but it’s enough to get you out of the cave
But there is always a single butterfly recharging you if you call it. I think.
I just posted about our dance party on the Reddit
I called and didn’t see a butterfly, maybe I wasn’t in the right spot
@blazing sail I’ll go look ❤️
How the heck do you do isle spirit alone? Trying but feel like I’m missing a key bit of info
@blazing sail that is so great!
🙂
I made video if you need help: https://youtu.be/QB-mwjIRrXg
Fumbled a bit myself at first but once I found the opening in the elevator it was pretty straightforward
🙂
Hmm they closed off the exit of the sunny forest
like as soon you leave the sunny forest area to the broken bridges
you can't go back
so have to go the long way in order to get to the area again
Yeah, that´s a little annoying if you ask me.
I did it alone... gives you enough time to fly up the mountainside
Hey @blazing sail you see Law yet?
@regal pagoda They changed the island in the distance completely
@rich wolf please don’t cold mention users
Why target me? You didn’t say the same axfogaming or scraycee
Hethr, I dint think they were targeting you. It was just the cold tag you did. It was an out of the blue tag to another member when you weren’t in an active conversation with each other. I also didn’t know not to do that, so I will watch my tagging in future lol. Thank you for the reminder Seraph.
Hello! Haven’t been able to keep up with news. How’s the seasonal spirit situation today? Is it isle today?
isle spirit makes you crash when you light it up dnhfjdbf
i think there’s a lower chance of crashes if you go alone? When i succeeded i did not release the butterflies + was alone (i’m sorry sky kid that i abandoned in the cave)
@regal pagoda campfire spawning a table is a placeholder
I’m so excited to see what the campfire will look like 😄
darn i shouldve known earlier coz i just crashed while trying to light it 😔
I’ve always wanted a campfire instead of a chair
better bring marshmallows!
Is the campfire just gonna work like a table?
In a way. I’d assume you can chat around the campfire much like you can round a table.
That’s cool. It’s nice to have variety
I hope it charges too.
I do too but that seems overpowered
I think charging would be op
So I dunno if they’d give us that?
Ah is that what OP means!? Thank you!
There used to be message candles you could place anywhere and 90% of people just used it as a charge spot
Could also be Original Poster
Yeah I know it as original poster which is why I’d get confused with the use of OP on here
Ahh
I’m starting to think a common-issue channel for beta is necessary
Same question would be asked thousands of times
that’s why known issues exist tho yeah?
That’s for live
I need to start doing some candle runs in beta again. Anyone else just do the seasonal and run to your favourite spot to hang? 😂
Yup. Same. But now I want to experience head pat so I need an Eden run, and some candle grinding. 😂
The only thing I got in live was my general outfit
So that’s white cape, no mask, comfy pants and shorts, Afro puffs, staff
And then I got piano because piano.....
Yeah in beta I got white cape. That’s about it. 😂 I was collecting for table but now campfire is on the horizon ...
I have enough hearts for table and I was literally about to buy it but they gave me free logs lol
I think if they want to make it have a recharge feature, make it so you have to light the campfire first.
Ha yes, just checked. I have precisely 30 hearts. What else to spend them on...? 😂
purple cape
I got my working suite (beta cape) so i didn't bother to get the white cape
I wish I could get forest elder hair in beta but that seems like an awful lot of work for something they could wipe at any point in future. 😂 might get firework staff actually. That could be useful with all the dark tunnels etc
Oh yeah, staff is very useful in the new valley area!
Hey so quick question.... if the game doesn’t offload when you close it sometimes... and when you do return maybe half hour later and you’re still stood in the same spot (say, dancing) ... is your sky kid literally stood there all that time just boogying away?
I got the white cape before they gave out the beta capes I think
@pallid badger I don’t think so 
Sometimes it does that to me but when I open the game it’s still in the old state so I see like... the players before I closed the game
But obviously I’m not there
Ah yeah that’s true. You just don’t notice that if you’re alone. 👍 good to know, I could imagine that being rather irritating to other players if you are stood there clapping or whatever for hours on end. 😂🤦♀️
I wonder if today's dance is based off of Scott's girlfriend like the Panpipes idle was ❤️
Aw is that where the little boogie came from?
They are too similar to not have come from the same source. ❤️😍
I'm sure it was Scott who said it on one of the TGC dev streams
yeah, whoever the animator on stream was said the little bouncy sway was based on his gf
I can’t help do it too whenever I’m stood up and playing. 😂
I love the idle animations for instruments
Before panpipes came out my favorite was the bass animation
I’ve tried completing the spirit for isle but it continues to crash my game, any help?
Keep trying, or wait for the patch which I imagine will be out very soon.
Don't press open the emote bar
I’ve tried 5+ times, every spirit in isle crashes my game
It crashes everytime I pressed it
I was in my own lobby, didn’t activate anything other than the one spot to open the elevator, didn’t press any emotes either
Yeah I noticed that. It’s not exclusively the seasonal, it’s isle in general. That one seems permanently troublesome for the devs
Why was it not in forest were the candles were?
Hmmmm i think it's different for everyone then
Mine crashes everytime i pressed my wing icon
It kinda makes no sense when the spirits in isle are already malfunctioning
Are you vibing with us yet naru? Got the wiggle/boogie?
Why are the spirits being release separately too, wouldn’t it be better if we test all of them at once to give them more time to fix the many bugs we are finding
Yeah one at a time. Can you imagine the deafening sound of keyboards clacking furiously in the office today? At least this way they can focus one at a time rather than 6 potentially broken spirits all at once
true i suppose
I’m hoping to wake up to the first patch in the morning.
testing staggered release of spirits should be part of beta since it's new this season
Yeah, but imagine the last spirit being released and it having the worst bug and they end up not having the time to fix it. Isn’t the new season coming to live soon?
wait so i have a q , are the spirits showing up weekly or ..? bc to my understanding there’s a new one that showed today in isle right? The same one that everyone’s talking about that crashes ?
or is it just kinda random atm
I mean, there’s no real definite time on when it’s coming to live. They can postpone if they need.
Ah
It’s just approximately 2 weeks, but that’s never set in stone.
Last time it's closer to 3
Ah, didn’t know
If they release a new one per day this week, then there should be a week following that to work hard, before releasing it to live. But like last time, it was delayed.
but don't worry. initial beta builds have almost always seemed super unstable. I've been through many beta rounds and have confidence that they'll get it working
I mean even the fire pit isn't done so I'd guess it'd be a lil delayed
This is just my second season in beta
i've been through... what? 4 or 5 seasons in beta? and many beta builds before seasons were a thing.
It seems broken, and still broken, and still broken, and then all of a sudden it all clicks into place.
the new stuff is fun to play with even when it's broken, because you can sort of puzzle out the mechanics
Embrace the broken. The broken is good in this scenario because everything we do that breaks the game will eventually fix it.
Yup! Act like a moth!
Throw yourself around! That’s what I do. 😂
I think one of the most useful things beta players might do when there are crashing bugs like isle is to keep repeating it and see how many ways you can crash it. try different steps each time, do things out of order, whatever you can
Yeah! I like that thinking
I’m gonna do that after I finish eating. It’s about time that I start filing in some bug reports.
I did actually complete the isle quest after maybe 8 tries. and the silly emote feels so much more rewarding after that trial 
It does! It’s super special now. 🥰
grooving a private victory dance
I tried using emote a few times and immediately crashed after
Gosh, when this comes to live, it’ll be fun to tell all my live buddies of my beta tales.
Ended up giving up on using emote in isle and hopes the other person understands telepathically
I used the work around and actually managed to not crash in isle! Now I can be the spinning, dancing umbrella I was always meant to be
Oh i meant use emote to communicate stuff
Like how grandma is too blind to tell the lightseeker spirits from her family.
Oh so no emotes at all? I haven’t actually tried. I’ll have to see if I have the same problem.
Who’s going to take a wild guess at which spirit we might be encountering tomorrow? I feel like they’ll be saving forest for a bit later in the week ...
I feel like momma is gonna be in forest.
Yeah grandma’s probably the last one
And goodness gracious they understood
About that @sage mulch I just noticed the sky Instagram also posted the season ending cutscene with grandma, thankfully I don’t think anyone has noticed 
I was about to give up
i think itll be in vault, dunno who itll be tho
Oh yeah, they did the same on Twitter. I pointed it out and they took it down.
Hmm what about an eden spirit
😱
Just to guide players
To little secrets
Like flying over the rocks instead of walking/dodging them
Wait you can fly over the rocks???
Oh no!!! I just watched the Instagram. Hi grandma! (No one commenting seems to have noticed...)
I thought you couldn't fly because of the wind
Needs a lot of practice for that

Ohh
Hey bunny!! Let me know if happening with u too! After I toke the season spirit, they of course go to the constellation, but I can’t open them to see the cosmetic, anybody with the same issue?
yes, this is happening to everyone at the moment! hopefully the devs figure out a solution and push out a bug fix soon
@slow stirrup thx a lot
I wonder if it’ll be valley tomorrow. Grandma should be stood outside that gate, and the seasonal candles will be in there
I reckon it was isle today purely because grandma belongs in forest and she’s the last to get, and isle doesn’t have seasonal candles so they activated that spirit today in place of forest
I wonder how they’ll do forest. Assuming we collect her in the underground. But she’s supposed to find her children at the table in the sunny spot...
Grandma is the quest giver, though?
But.... wait. Her cape. We get her cape right? But we get the logs.... are they both ultimate reward?
The cape is from a different spirit. If I remember correctly, there’s another spirit that wears it.
Oh good!!
I need to rewatch their arrival again. Imma do that now before I ask another silly question. 😂
Haha, good idea.
Yes you’re quite right. Good! I’m at peace now. 😆
if her cape was the ultimate reward we probably would’ve gotten it along side the logs
probably
In the last update they had fixed the crashing error in new areas, now it came back * screaming internally *
wait so in the new season you have to buy seasonal hearts to get certain gear too?
I saw that in feedback and im confused
So it would appear
I don't think anyone knows anything about the economy yet, since nothing seems to be working
it could be an interpretation of something they saw
there is some sort of new heart currency, but who knows what it's for
.. Well. if that is the case then that sucks
I’m not sure it’d have any place to fit besides in the seasons since there’s already a heart system outside of the seasons
one theory is that the hearts can be purchased separately for those who don't buy the pass
i’m holding my tongue about the hearts since we have no idea what it is yet
Yea let’s hold our tongues and cross our fingers.
I honestly would have expected a better explanation from the get-go, so that we knew what to test.
it’s a first build, we’ll probably see better explanations later
It’s only 6 days so that’s the most puzzling part.
Btw I didn’t check. Can you still get the prairie spirit today?
hmm
Bc if you can’t...yikes
and we've basically wasted 2 days not being able to do anything
i can relive it
Ok that hopefully means they stick around permanently and you don’t have to worry about missing them on their official day
i hope that’s the case
I can get on the Android beta and see if the prairie spirit is still there. I’ve yet to get it on Android.
is the season in Android?
The same thing happened for light seekers, i feel like they put it out fast instead of making sure it works properly
Why do you think it’s in beta
For light seekers people were stuck at home for like 2 days
I thought Android was on hold?
Probably, I mean, it wouldn’t make sense if it wasn’t.
No, that’s MacOS, App.
Lightseekers spirits all worked right away tho. I don’t remember any being completely broken
It was
You couldn’t even get to Isle the first few days
The portal literally didn’t work
no one could enter isle bc it crashed on entering
I think that was only for new people
No, it was a big problem lol
I was on beta already so I was able to visit all areas
yee
I'm sorry, I didn't think Android beta had the seasons since Android doesn't seem ready for Live release.
It may have not affected you, but it was generally a big problem for a lot of beta
Right but again that was specific to new players so it was a bug that wasn’t really anything to do with the season itself
This is basically the entire season just broken for everyone
How did the portal not working for the new beta season at the time not have to do with the season itself..
i mean the entire reason we’re in beta is to help make sure that these problems don’t persist into the Live release yeah?
Like, the devs might not have had a way to catch a bug for new players but how does the whole thing get through without working at all?
And, again, it was for a lot of people.
it wasn't working, period, not specifically because of the season
the season just happened to time with a lot of new beta players entering the game
Right. I’m just saying. A bug for new players is understandable bc none of the devs are new players themselves
if you say so
It’s strange that they didn’t catch the spirits not working at all for anyone before pushing it through
it's strange not to tell tester what they shoudl be testing...
That too
It’s the same way they didn’t catch the portal not working
especially since there seems to be new features
There’s also a point that, oh does the player base know how to play the season?
And was the 6 days a mistake or did they know it’s broken so they made it short to give them time to fix it and then reboot the season? It’s all very strange
it took them like a week to fix the portal tho
previously, I think we've at least been told what new things to test and evaluate
I think we were more so hinted at what to try, but we were never told to specifically test things
When it’s this broken it kind of feels silly to even report bugs
Bc you don’t know what they’re aware of already off the bat
yeah, I'm not even sure what is a bug and what is an intended feature
Usually you test a game, they either tell you “don’t worry we know it’s very broken. We just want you to check _____” or...
Or they tell you it’s supposed to be ready for release, so if you find any issues, let them know. You wouldn’t expect the whole thing to be broken without any explanation
It’s just not the way to do a beta
Yeah that was the problem with the portal.
Like it’s one thing to have bugs throughout the beta that players should report
it’s another for the entire game to not work
That shouldn’t be a week problem for a beta.
For all we know, they pushed it through knowing it’s all in a broken state
that sucks
btw, did anyone find all 8 candles today?
Where’s new valley area?
didn't you ask that just now?
No.
ah, sorry
I swear I saw you ask
anyway, it's in the temple just to the left as you enter
‘As you enter’ ok
and I found the last two candles!
I want to join the new beta pretty bad
maybe Wasteland will be easy this time - hahahahaha
I found them all yeah
judging from where you can see the emote it’ll either be around krill room or graveyard

But we’ll have to see
Could you guys find all the emotes?
yes and no
Also, the new forest area, there are just wings there? Is there something else?
Can someone tell me where is vault's new area please
There is only isle and prairie spirits available now right?
@radiant badger there’s seasonal candles in the forest cave, so that likely means the seasonal sprit will be their when their day comes
Ahhh
That big plant in graveyard is my favorite thing to burn down. It’s the only thing that hasn’t become just monotonous yet in live... it’s going to be so intense with those huge sky kid eating crabs.
@kind briar When you spawn in vault, hop up the ledge to your right there’s a door. it can be opened with one person.
I haven't been to the graveyard yet
I thought all the spirits were available
@tardy dove Thank you!!
Lol I’m a coward and I don’t even go to the graveyard anymore unless I have to get wings
And even then it’s with friends
And I don’t burn that plant no way
I even got hit once while staying back and letting my friends burn it
that’s understandable i still get krilled in that area nowadays rkhdkdjfk
That place is cursed
oh man i love graveyard.. i’m actually hoping the spirit will be in graveyard
but the plant is bleh. i just sit and wait for server merges
Hahaha. Its a challenge. You can’t even rely on timing because I swear the krill in there have a decent AI. They go off course after you
||have you seen the crab spitroast in graveyard?||
lmao yes rjhdjdjdk best edition
||yes and it’s amazing||
Rip
||I'd imagine they'd do something with that||
||maybe that’s where the seasonal spirit path will end?||
maybe
could be
i think itll either start or end there, yeah
also do we have to spoiler tag any of this?
Why are you spoiler tagging? There’s literally photos of the thing in the screenshots channel
yeah
conjecture and incase anyone else hasn't looked at that
😂 everything in beta is a spoiler guys.
im kind of glad the spirit might be in graveyard, ill be TERRIFIED, but itll be interesting
i’ll happily be krill bait for y’all hahaha
doesn’t mean we can’t use spoiler tags though
||ok we can spoiler everything in this channel from now on||
yeah, its just a little redundant is all
||so we make beta really spoiler||
🤷 well if people end up stumbling upon something they wanted to find themselves, oh well
||Just feeling it's a lot fun to click then see the text||
what have I started...
i'll stop now 
I only meant it as a potential area people may not have seen
I sort of feel we forfeit the right to discover things for ourselves by being beta testers. It’s nice when you do, but it’s part and parcel in my experience.
so, just to be sure, what are the emotes available? wastelands, praire and isle of dawn?
then we have different views/opinions on how to handle spoilers
I've only found Prairie and Isle so far
only prairie and isle
no need to act as if it’s a bad thing if someone has a differing opinion
were just speculating about wasteland rn
Not at all. I’m sorry if that’s how I came across. 🙂
Where are the other new areas? I only know of isle and prairies new areas
Oh shoot
more crab
crab forever
I need to go exploring
You haven’t been to forest angel?
Prairie has a new area?
No prairie doesn’t.
Oh wait I found the found the forest lol I forgot about that one
Oh ok phew
I mixed up prairie and forest lol
the wet one 🙂
I need to find valley and vault ones
have you seen the new vault area yet?
Nope, only isle and forest
vault archive is awesome
I like it, though it does remind me of 2 quite disparate things
we had an old server room which at night looked a little like that
and secondly it reminded me of on of the secret areas in the original Doom
yeah theyre really pretty, even if a few are p dark
valley area is ridiculous for that, though I like the "tomb raider" / "Indiana Jones" feel to it
vault new area feels like i’m in a computer
we were exploring it with fireworks to get a feel of the map

See, controversial, but I’m not as keen on the vault or valley new areas. 🙈 I hope I warm to them, perhaps the spirit will add whatever it is that is missing for me
oh forest is definitely a strong contender for favourite right now IMO
i think that valleys really captures “old ruin” really well, but yeah, forests is gorgeous
i dont think a bunch of takes on tunnels and caves could really stand up to an entire new area, tho, forest got a lot of love with this update
Valley’s is kinda funny to me tbh but i do like it.
Yeah I mostly just like the new forest
also yeah new forest area is my absolute favourite addition
I need to go back to valley for another look around. A solo explore, I have been in groups yesterday but not ventured in today.
yesss the new beta update.. thank god seasonal hearts arent actually be super painful 
Forest was always the best
i can see some of the new cave areas being used by musicians, tho
So much packed into a small area
the resonance in the forest caves is lovely
I hated it when I was a newbie bc it was too easy to run out of light but now it’s the only area I really ever bother to complete lol
even the harp sounds good there
Oh man I still need to go to all the new areas
forest isnt my favourite to play through, but its my favourite to hang in now that i have an umbrella
You guys might find this interesting. Go play a musical instrument or do the dance on the table in forest. If you turn the camera towards the entrance, the ambience is different to when you face it towards the fireplace despite not moving your character.
I still always carry an umbrella to forest because I keep bonking into the end without releasing the jellies
ooh that's cool @pallid badger
though I suppose it's the "camera" picking up the sound rather than what the skykid hears
i carry the umbrella because when im not collecting light im just walking through there on the paths. its really moody
Added some notes to #beta-announcements please let me know if there is anything else that could do with clarification.
I guess my problem is forest is still a little laggy for me, but yeah I am totally down with wandering around the forest at leisure
thank you!
thank you Ktjn
Thank you Ktjn!
any thoughts on what the seasonal hearts will cost / how to acquire them?
i’m guessing friends, quests, or spirits
are seasonal hearts able to be acquired by non-event pass players?
I’m going to assume 3 seasonal candles = 1 seasonal heart. But can we purchase them ourselves or by gifting and receiving from our friends?
Which would fit with your gifting events I’m assuming
maybe spirit unlocks like regular hearts too?
I'll see what i can find out about the spirit shops. We have a lot of fixes in the next build.
...and about the seasonal heart functionality.
gotcha
👀
What is the second button on grandma for?
it might be short and not enough to test out everything to make sure they all work if the season testing is ending in a week
perhaps repeat it again in next week after it ends?
Its to the left side of the temple
It’s in the temple at the end. On the left wall
it’s very dark so you might need some fireworks spells haha
The boogie woogie emote is so cool! 😅 definitely will be a favourite
I cant wait to see the gw emote in action’ looks so dramatic 🤣
Does anyone know where the seasonal spirit in the rainforest is I can’t seem to find it
No problemo
@pallid badger You´ll end up loving the maze in valley when you have to carry the light in the dark while being chased by the giant crabs.
I wouldn´t mind having the Alien radar to know when they' re approaching.
OMG
The star up the wall in shipwreck is gone?
Because there is no other way that area is gonna work. A bunch of skykids moving in the dark and getting stuck with the different stairs, steps and corners.
I know already I´m going to hate the moment we will have to carry the light from the end of one corridor to the start of the one in front of it across the 2-storey area.
Also...
Are these new areas going to continue post season? Since they have Star kids with them I feel they might
Oh true, but i think it’ll be interesting if it is a carry spirit
i’ll be running around with fireworks 100%
Hey Granny
It will be. I see no other reason why they would design such a non welcoming maze.
I’ve shown you guys Law right?
i think so
You have to go oob before the cutscene to view in the same way
These new areas would be good all purpose areas for any future season events
Oof just saw the notes
So the ultimate gift isn’t a gift anymore
I really hope it doesn’t come down to choosing between the regular items and the ultimate “gift”
Where can I find these notes?
Under beta updates
Not too thrilled about the thought of having to trade for seasonal hearts in general
I think we will get more than enough time to get all the items, and with the days where we get double rewards it should be pretty easy to get used to
I was able to solo the isle spirit... wasn’t that bad... there’s a gap in the elevator shaft you can use to go up. And there’s enough time to go down the same way, then fly up the mountain
Regular hearts don’t bother me bc there’s no time constraint
We´ll see how it works AppUn.
Yeah hopefully it'll be fine
But like.... let’s say my close friends decide to trade early on and by the time I need some no one has any candles to spare?
How are we supposed to get those seasonal hearts?
But time limited trades are... Not fun
It seems like it could be stressful and annoying
Just wondering why they needed to add it
We don’t even know yet how to get the seasonal hearts
I'm pretty sure same mechanic with the normal hearts
Unless the hearts are gotten through quests? Then ok maybe?
Hmmm yeah
You’re very right, i didn’t think of that
But if it’s through trades and it’s the only way to get the ultimate “gift” then blah
ktjn said next patch should explain the heart functionality?
Yeah but it’s hard not to speculate based on what we know hearts to be
If it's an alternative to a pass tho
I doubt that
We´ll see, I guess. I wonder how the players without access to the beta get to understand the changes in each season (I mean the ones who don´t look at guides and such)
You’ll have to use the power of friendship to get the ultimate gift🌈✨
😑
Hmm true
I doubt they’d all of a sudden give people a way to get the items without a pass
Yeah, no way, they need 💰💰💰
Season of mutual interest lol
Is the isle cave for light seekers gone?
So assuming it works the way i think it is, you need candles for the nodes +hearts?
For the final one
I feel like.. based on what I think campfire will do.. the people who can use it most, will have the hardest time to acquire it..
Yeah, I feel like the experienced players don't need them that much? Same with umbrella
In eden tho
It’s kind of strange to go from giving the ultimate gift as a reward to making us work extra for it. Unless there’s two ways to get it
Ooh no idea hethr!
oh i went there when the patch dropped
The isle cave is still there
the light seeker cave i mean
It be cool if it wasn’t gone but a cave in blocked it
The umbrella, pretty as it is.. has to compete with so many other unique items... I wish the next ultimate gift would be a cool mask or ... outfit (pants slot)
Would the fire pit be op in eden
I feel like it might be a good idea. You can probably buy it before you finish the whole constellation which is fairer for players that can’t play daily.
A cave in on the lightseeker tunnel 💯
The giant snowball of doom as ultimate gift 😂
But we have to see it in action first
The seasonal hearts are not tied to trading with players. there is no situation where you would have to choose between Ultimate Gift and something else. Sorry for the confusion, I will update the post to reflect that.
What if you can only unlock it after everything tho
Where is this trading with players?
We need the hearts for the ultimate gift
Haven’t seen anything about trading yet. Post link?
there isn't. That is misinformation milling about, which is why i'm here to provide clarification.
there isnt any, people have been catastrophizing about it since the season update dropped tho
Now teaching emotes between players
For old seasonal emotes only.... that 💯
Any info on whether we can access the spirits in the constellation? 🥺
thanks for the confirmation tho, ktjn
yes thank you!
Like a friend could teach another friend how to juggle
I think ktjn was going to ask about that iirc @ nastymold
@vapid briar Thanks for clarifying! 🙂
Nasty mold 😂
@torn gust ok!
I now regret (not really) suggesting a maze area
It´s gonna be challenging to carry the spirit around, that´s for sure.
I couldn’t figure it out anyway
haha, i love that theres a little mouse hole for skykids to get lost in. im going there right when it drops in live
I was just there lol
Need a map... maybe go oob to figure it out
I think
Already been in isle and forest oob
I must say.. this weekly spirit thing .. I don’t think I like it.. what was cool before was that one player went for this first and the other for that, and there was this excitement and showing off your new things between friends.. but with this gradual release of content, everyone is railroaded into unlocking the same stuff at the same time ... very dull imo
Yeah agreed
Unless you save your candles? I guess you can do that
And then be the first to unlock the later more expensive cosmetics
Meh
it's also weird because what if you buy the pass but get to items you dont really want to unlock?
yeah
Or buy them
Maybe it´s a way to have the time to actually implement everything.
Yeah that’s why it seems like hoarding makes the most sense
Yeah, and the wait for the spirit that actually has the gear you like would kill some of the excitement.
i think gradual releases might frustrate players more than keep them engaged?
Bc I usually go for my favorite stuff first
Omg the game crashed right as I was lighting the spirit up lol
there's also the issue that you wont know how many candles it takes to complete it (though someone may post a guide from beta)
Welcome to the club
Yeah I just got on
Yeah, waiting that week for them pants is gonna kill me.
@peak oyster It does that for everyone
Ooooo okay thanks for the info
You need to keep trying. Apparently it’s less likely to crash if you go alone
i mean im still gonna find a way to get the pass but whatever lol
But then you need to go OOB for it
Lol
@peak oyster, you should press the flag in the constellation multiple times to feel 100% included.
oh you know what, i just thought about the fact that most of us beta testers werent around for how seasons worked in pre-launch beta. how will we be testing the season to it's fullest without the time?
i guess we'll see lol
Wonder if the 6 days was a mistake?
nope
Oh yeah I know nothing about OOB for this. Seems like a friend is required otherwise
Are we not meant to get any of the items then?
ktjn said so in #beta-announcements
The timeline for getting the spirits was accelarated, yes. Perhaps therell be time in beta afterwards to test the economy and the items
Where did she mention the 6 days? Must have missed it
we dont know for certain quite yet beyond that the timeline for getting each spirit was shortened from weekly to daily
she said it's been accelerated to one spirit a day instead of one a week
Right
which is implied that 6 weeks is accelerated to 6 days
But that doesn’t mean it was meant to end after 6 days
Like, the other season didn’t end in beta after the first day bc we got all the spirits
We still had like 35 days
Can’t wait for the new stuff
Mhmm, they likely shortened the timeline for getting each spirit just so we can test out the spirit quests
like im sure theyre getting plenty of good device info from todays isle spirit
hopefully the seasonal hearts aren’t such a grind where everyone is worried about getting the final gift
and how best to tweak things (like atm its easy to get trapped with no light in the new isle location)
Yeah, totally. The testing has been quite intensive since we all wanted to unlock the spirit.
I remember just glaring at that one lonely candle at the ledge in isle
HAHA
Ive done the same LOL
Yeah theres a few things that need to be moved around
The sunny forest message candle shrine for example
OH YEAH
Oh god I got stuck slightly above it and was low on light so scared to move and fall
It looks like it got covered in a landslide 😂
I got a picture oit it LOL
I think I finally managed to light it as I fell
app thats just like salt in the wound LOL
i noticed a dark plant stuck in the ground so i went to find the message candle spot and bam there it is, candles stuck in the ground
I still got the orb as I was falling
Im also very curious as to where that one gate will lead in the forest caverns 👀 the one gate that doesnt open atm with the winged light by it
Yeah that was a bit of a tease
You mean the one at the end on the right I think?
and also what will be put inside the area that those two gates connect to
The gate near where the birds come from!
I'm pretty sure I saw some lanterns in there @-@
i saw two people glitch in and they ran back pretty quickly
Yeah theres lanterns but it feels like its a good place for something....but what 
I can´t remember. Need to sleep more I guess.
Maybe another puzzle? o.O
Or maybe a dormant krill.
i hope we’ll see mo-atlantean you are EVIL
Pickle fish!
evil i say!!!
I love the added puzzles’ vibe. The atmosphere is lovely ^~^
atlantean seeing toilet krill: “ok but what if...there was More”
upside down dormant krill suspended in light goo
😂 I say that then I´m the first to get krilled. I always get instant karma punishment.
I´ll forget about the gate, then open it and have a heart attack ingame and irl.
@proven trout that sounds like a rather disgusting entree on in a posh restaurant
In 2 days, I will probably press the flag button AGAIN.
hahaha
we'll set the WhaleEel in the Forest caverns on it, that should see it off


=3=3=3
I don’t know if this has already been noted, but entering the new area in Hidden Forest reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
So I kinda wish for a caterpillar smoking a hookah somewhere in there.
Bro the devs and stuff of this game are so good 😭 I cant beleive this is a mobile game they pay so much attention to the community and are so active 👊 😔 this season looks so epic too, mad respect brooo
YEAH
Fr though
@spark lance , I said the same thing! Down the rabbit hole we go lol
the way this season works is kinda confusing me @~@ are we supposed to be unable to access the seasonal spirit menus at the moment?i have the prairie and isle ones right now. unless they're only accessible during the week theyre available? (in this case day)
Spirit shops are kinda broken rn
at the moment we have no idea kdhdjdhdk But hopefully next patch we’ll know? :0
hopefully! ! !
i really love the new area in isle, just finished getting that spirit
i was reading people have been having a lot of trouble with that area but i had really no issues? the elevator was kinda weird but
same
I haven’t seen the new areas yet
it just didnt crash for me.. i WAS with another person at the new isle area, maybe that helped?
Does anyone know how to get to them?
at the isle you need to go to the temple, there's a cloud tunnel to the right of the temple
the whole area is like a 2 player puzzle, and apparently pretty unstable at the moment
and then the only other one i know if is at the vault, it's to the right of the home portal
it's a two player door
Wait am I even in the beta? I’m at the temple but the tunnel only leads back to the beginning?
beta is a different app
yee
ohhh
you have to join with an invite link 😄
I’m a dunce
youre valid
its ok! youre fine!!
if anyone has any hints or just can straight up tell me the location of the forest seasonal spirit that would be cool :'3 been looking around for a while but i cannot find it
speaking of the forest, i'm really sad that the glowy boy in that hollowed out tree is gone. er, "gone". it's still there just in the wall yes?
I don’t think the forest spirit is released yet
Which one is released today?
Does no one have an answer to my question 😔
Isle is released today but it’s buggy. Lots of people crash before they’re able to complete it
apparently spirit shops are broken at the moment?
and yeah @hexed lynx it probably is just luck
Oh that makes sense
may depend on the device too? i have a newer phone (am using android at the moment) and it's not crashing for me
i can test on my 2014 ipad for ya xdd
I dont have anyone to keep redoing it with 😭 and no one is there when i try it
Yes
ill dm you
What are y’all tryna do?
testing isle spiritt

@bitter lava
We’re trying to keep getting the isle spirit because it keeps crashing
Ohhh can I join too?
im not gonna qr code but if ya run into me at the new isle area , i'm a skykid with pigtails and yellow cape :3
Big ol oof
invite links will be posted in beta-updates when theres new slots created 😄
need to update ios beta though
the only spirits released at the moment are prairie and isle yes?
not too many people seem to be on, ye could meet by chance at the isle :O
Yeah the isle is dead
.... so where’s the new spirit?
Isle
New area in isle
Tomorrow could be in vault
I’m stuck now though
Ohhh thank uuuu
HM well
the person i'm with right now, the door on top opened on their end but not mine lol
havent crashed yet though, on my older ipad right now
ok there we go, it crashed as the new person i was with was lighting the spirit to get the emote
do it alone, you wont crash
ive only heard of 1 person doing it where they were with people and didnt crash
Ugh I finally got the dang emote
I was with people btw
I guess make that two lol
It took like five tries though
Or more like 7
I had 2 people with me when it finally worked for me!
How are you guys managing to open the 8 person gate? There is never anyone in that area of Prairie when I go. I can’t even get the double butterfly door open. Gah!
Okay so I was able to confirm the spirit shops are indeed bugged at the moment. We should have that fixed in the next build. I'll add this info to the most recent post in #beta-announcements
THANK YOU!!!
@spark lance Why would you need to open it in beta? I just avoid it. It is annoying when you need a 4-person door opened in Vault for a quest, tho, and no one’s around.
@blazing sail Isn’t the area with the spirit in the tree changed? I keep reading about it but I can’t get there to see it. Unless I misunderstand.
It hasnt!
its the same
You only need to go there if you want to get that tree star honestly
Can I not send pictures here? :0 there is a grey emote in Graveyard that looks like someone begging for help. Where is it?
No the tree in the forest. The wing is in the wall or something. Don’t think the one in prairie changed.
the winged light is in the forest tree wall yeah. bit of a pain to get to but is doable if you have patient friends with tables! (though tbh it might just be better to wait till tgc eventually moves it
F
What would we need the new winged lights for
I dont even know what it looks like
Maybe new spirits
There’s a new one in valley also
theres 6-8 new winged lights iirc
2 in vault, 1 in valley, 4 in forest
Woo
so 7 new ones actually
ooo new valley one? 👀
Is it confirmed that the Isle spirit crashes when you're with someone? Because mine crashed even when I was alone.
I finally got the spirit when I burned the statue from behind, but I don't know if it was just a coincidence. 🧐
Yea I’ve tried to get the spirit nearly 7 times but I crashed all of those times. I already know about them saying they’ll update so yea but it’s kind of frustrating.
does anyone know what the two new instruments are?
I think one is a guitar
What’s this about the spirits being 1/day?
Also did anyone else get the ultimate reward already?
What does that mean though?
Only one appears each day?
You can only collect one per day?
more and more spirits will be available
the other instrument is a lute i think
omg my theory is lute too
the spirits available are isle and prairie, but we cant access their constellations
em, i thought about ukulele?
Each spirit is gonna be unlocked daily (beta only) but that doesn’t mean you won’t have access to the ones that unlocked previously
Also I want the guitar 🤧
A lute would be really fun to play. I’m hyped to get the instruments
it looks so cute!
uke is a good sky instrument too
the cosmetics and emotes for this season are all so adorable
lutes should have many strings, so ig that instrument with 3 pegs is something else
you can't???
nope
forever crashes

i dont know what else to call them
confetti launchers?
I guess I'm gonna have to wait until this goes live, because this second spirit is more bricked than a brick wall 🤷
have you tried going alone?
they said the isle crash will be fixed in the next build, so I think you don't have to wait that long
Does the party popper go back towards you at the end for everyone else or just me?
^
It does, right in the chest
yep. what i like to do is run in circles while doing it
Yeah! some stranger showed me that in game. It's fun!
Thanks! Just curious
wonder if it looks like that because it's the first level or if it's a bug
I like that it does that, return... but it is a bit strange
the seasonal emote in prairie
if you see weird things getting caught in the chat filter, do a bug report. That's something we can actively review and tinker with. Because the game is global, we tend to err on the side of caution with chat filtering so things will flag as a bad word because it hit the filter for another language.
The doors in the new forest area, should we be able to open them? There are two that I can't get past. Just wanna be sure it's me being silly, a bug, or on purpose
Depending on which doors, it may be a 2-person task.
I'll post the two doors in #beta-screenshots-videos
Is there supposed to be something behind the Forest door that only opens partway (so you need 2 people)? You can reach the exit door from the outside by flying, so it seems that there should be something worth obtaining inside
My own username used to get caught by the censor for some reason but seems to work now? Ha.
oob achieved:
new isle of dawn
new forest
new valley
can't wait to explore the wasteland bit and vault bits
Wastelands pretty unchanged in comparison to the others
new area in wasteland though?
It got some new decor put into the swamp but no new areas
Also Pines... if you want a reference for a LAW emoji (which should 💯 happen) you can find him underneath the new forest area
(LAW - Large Air Whale)
How do I get season hearts?
Thanks! I think theres a pretty good reference of it in the concept art though should the need arise 😄
Are there seasonal candle bundles today?
@exotic needle currently still unknown, besides whats posted in #beta-announcements
In forest caverns yes!
Is that the new area :o?
the big question is: how do we know what the items are for this season at all?
I can give you directions to find it
Yes I am ^^
We will know what the items are when they fix the constellation, it’s bugged and the team knows
We can only go off of what the spirits are wearing
Which is really cool so far so 
the forest area is very friendly to oob table users
there's a nice area right near the start that forms a the perfect oob entry overhang
OMG a whale watching badge would be so cool
you could have like little marks for the different encounters with LAW that you have
1- forest, 2 - wasteland, 3 - eden
I feel like the forest changes are almost 99% pines art inspired
I need hellppp
O one is ever one beya
beta
I Alonso got the spirit and while lighting it I crashed
almost
Where's the new area in valley?
In the temple at ghe end of the race
Hm?
the way out from that area is open
What do you mean?
Do you mean like on the upper wall?
I flew out of a window and went OOB, oops
its like in the middle of the wall
How do the seasonal hearts work? Will they be the same as seasonal candles? Or will they have to be earned/ bought separately? I’m genuinely confused
Nobody knows yet.
we dont have specifics, just that they wont be traded for, and that they wont interfere with getting other cosmetics
but how we obtain will forever be
Hey guys I found a goof
_a mystery _
You know that deadman switch door in the new forest area?
@finite shadow Check the post in #beta-announcements
((Just to troubleshoot a bit towards yall, I play on iPad Pro 11inch, but, couldnt get the new emote at Isle; I turned my graphics down to the lowest setting before talking to spirit to collect, and I got just after the spirit stops talking to you until I crashed. BUT the emote registered!))
So. Just in case anyone else out there is a little, blocked right now too.... heres hopeful thinking!
Just wait for the dang update. Whats the hurry
^^ they are beta testers, they are testing the new update
They are trying to bypass an known bug.
devp alredy said the patch for that will come out soon.
there’s no need to keep on the same bug over and over again
:/
I wasn’t aware, where did they post that information?
actually, its best to see how many ways the bug is triggered, from as many devices and settings as possible
Mhm
Op. Just saw that now in the update page. I was at work all day.
They are testing for bugs so there aren’t as many in the live season!
They are not trying to trigger the bug but bypassing it. Thats totally different
wouldn't you also try to find a way to get around a bug?
the beta is for testing, yes, but there gets a point where you also just want to get things done
it's nearly time to test tomorrow's spirit, anyway
the developer team is aware of thst bug. Go find another one to report.
I don’t even know why you are making this a big deal. You aren’t?? Involved ??
I dont think this convo is very constructive at this point, haha. So I suppose Cheers, and happy testing ya’ll. 👌🏻🌻
⬆️
It's okay to disagree on testing methods, both approaches are valid and useful, please remember to keep the dialogue civil. Everyone's play style is a little different. If you're feeling frustrated, please consider taking a break. There's no need to burn yourself out. 
Ktjn, do you know what happens next week by any chance? I think perhaps people are a bit stressed out because it says 5 days left.
Sadly general doesn’t like my idea of pasta table for the next update to go along with the new mustache... ;-;
It's going to live anyway, don't stress yourself out
It showed all the cosmetics of this season
you mean the intro of the season?
hmm sounds like the opening to the new season
someone already recorded the intro huh
don’t think it’s possible since the beta players can’t get access
to the seasonal spirit shop yet
yeah
It sounds like a hack
sorry for barging in but thanks, ktjn, and apologies if i myself made anyone feel a certain way.
15 minutes until the next spirit \o/
Ill be heading to Vault first <w<
hmm need to clear out my storage for this
I find new a spirit in valley, but can't get it.
I want to take part in beta. Please let me know how to do it?

Thank you
Why can’t you get it?
Same problem as previous?
sits on hands
sorry I can
found carrying people.
I could get it with no issue
I cannot find the new forest spirit
Buck buck the new seasonal spirit today is in the valley of triumph
I mean for yesterday
In the temple at the end of the race
Is it too late to get the forest one?
Oh I didn’t know the isle one was available
Has any new emo today ?
I understand why the team haven’t made the spirit trees available yet, its because they want us to accumulate enough seasonal candles to test the seasonal heart system
They said it's a bug
Valley emote got available today
It’s quite easy
Flip the crabs and the spirits isn’t really a big deal
I bet the dad is in wasteland and the grandpa is in vault, they all seem to fit the areas they're found in
where are the seasonal candles today?
In the Valley Temple’s new area
check in the #beta-screenshots-videos to see where to get them! ( thanks to Popo for the map! )
@formal breach
Thanks!
You’re welcome 
Please tell me the valley one isn’t an escort quest
I feel like I know the answer already tho
At least it’s not raining there lol
Lol
Ok definitely bringing some friends along then
You know what? It’s a really simple one. The only tricky bit is the end, making that jump from the exit back into the temple. I strongly suspect (🤣 obvious) that vault will be an escort one too. I’m expecting a really special one in forest though. Not an escort however. 😅
It’s nice to have that work as intended. No crash today. I’m happy!
Is it a sparkler?
Valley was surprisingly easy. I did it with one other player and we were only knocked over twice by the crabs.
But it’s a long walk through dark tunnels.
Just got the valley spirit
Thankfully someone had gone through and knocked down all the crabs
Unfortunately, some people still like to wait by the statue and not help at all
are they the people that goldbricks other people and just join in the last second?
Probably. It sucks but there’s nothing to do about it
nope still no luck on the cosmetics
In some scenarios, waiting at the end is a good thing. Be kind, perhaps they worry they’ll interfere with the collection process if they jump in earlier.
I mean I have had full on rage in the past with people jumping in and interfering. I’d wish they’d just go to the end. 🙃
I admit I have that in my head when I’m doing the collection spirits. I hung back today, which is a good thing because I was able to catch the spirit when they all fell into the temple.
It’s a steep drop
So honestly I wouldn’t get too cross at people waiting at the end. If they don’t know what the path is like, they figure it’s most helpful to not get in the way
In this season, it is expected that a very large number of players will gather in the area where spirits have been added.
I hope that no player will disturb carrying.
Compared to that, doing nothing is not big problem.
I just did the Valley spirit and I hated all of it 🤣🤣🤣 Thankfully I was able to do it aline with nobody to push me off a ledge or something. Got it at my second attemp.
thankfully went with a bunch of random players to help with the spirit
( thank u to the player with the Vault Headdress for the help!! )
Ok but there’s this one part where the spirit just
decided to leave the players
on its own and i’m just ????
COME BACK HERE MA’AM
We’re in the dark tunnel before the exit so
The most annoying thing carrying the light this time will probably be to argue with the path to take in the dark, not being abke to talk with random players
Sometimes it’s hard to tell which way you should go when you’re in a dark hallway and the next spirit checkpoint looks like it’s behind a wall opposite the way you actually need to go.
Yeah, totally.
Oh boy you guys are not making me look forward to this
I hate escort quests
At least there’s no krill I guess?
Hello, I haven't really been following the chats much, but I was wondering how people who had a crash problem with isle of dawn spirit, got the dance emote? I've tried it four times already and no emote yet
I've noticed few friends getting it even though they got the crashes too
It’s pretty random
For me it worked by going when no one else was around and going OOB to do it without a friend
For me I got it in 4 tries
OOB?
Aw, alright 
For all of my runs, i soloed all of them but it crashed 3 times
I’m kind of not too thrilled that the candles are at the stadium this season
