oH
yeah if you don’t see it, it’s probably under the ice
The transition from prairie meatball to prairie big cave still causes problems every time , do we need to report it again ?????
i wonder if we're basically helping revive the land 
looks like it, which as a concept I love
Is anyone else having trouble finding the fourth seasonal candle bunch in Forest?
I've only found the one near the big skeleton, the one on top of the crying spirit cave, and the one near the root in front of the hollowed out tree entrance (that has a cutscene)
I’ve only found 3 too 🤔
What happened to the water??
Last one is in the first small temple you light to fix the bridge
Found it!
If you’re entering that area, right after cutscene, it’s off to the left, right before the bridge
Oh sorry! If you go back the other way, the last one is in one of the tunnels
You’re welcome! I really thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t find it either
😂
And pun was not intended
is the Blue Lake located at ||end forest||?
alright. thanks
Np
Oh my gosh I can’t wait to see what this place looks like after we find all the colors!!!
I was just thinking that too! 😍😍
So just to be sure, there's only two winged light at the forgotten ark right?
I think so!
Great, thanks!
You guys know the location of blue spirit?
Blue light or spirit?
Light is ice rink at valley
Spirit is at forgotten ark
At the quest giver spirit
But not the one at home
Where is the red light?
Red light is at forgotten ark near the farm area (dirt mounds in stripes)
hum, is it the same as yesterday? I collected the blue one but the quest giver asks for red light as well?
Basically the place where you get the "boo" or scare emote (idk what to call it)
Yes
Np
Gosh, third time on the boat. I’m gonna end up hating that cutscene lol
Well at least for now I'm in love with absolutely everything from this season
Oh, I see how this could work. We´re gonna help rebuild the Ark, save the spirits that will fly away on it then this area will become a village/ farm space to socialize.
There´s a huge empty space in the middle to add little houses/ whatever.
Hi all, I made a map for the new area! Where should I share it? 😆
Ooooooooh yes!!! This is a brilliant thought, atlantean. Can’t wait to see it come together.
Plus everything becoming lush and green for springtime. Maybe the rows in the back are for crops instead of being seats.
But I´m almost sure the Ark will get reconstructed by the end bwahahahahaha
i think they’ll be crops too 👀
an oasis in this wasteland
Oh, that´s why it´s called an Ark, there will be animals everywhere. You´re welcome.
finally ark may become Paradise
How many candles do I get for spoiling the whole season?
none 
What happened-
Wasteland is all blue?
Whatttt
And pls ping me if you answer
Ooooo maybe the elements are actually different pendants?
omg.. that means we get SEVEN PENDANTS
its a theory!
😕
earth hour cape?
spoilers sorry
WH AT

IS THERE SOMETHING I DONT KNOW ABOUT OR AM I MISSING SOMETHING IJFKWJFJOVIUNERV

I’m not allowed to talk
the cape youre talking about is not in the game, nor is it available. it's a hacked item. can you please delete the comments about it, because its against the rules to discuss hacked content on this server. Thank you!
@small mist ^^
haha, i was right, blue light fo today
Anyone wants a map for the Forgotten Ark?🧐

i wonder what tomorrow's colour will be? or most importantly, what the final colour will be? the final colour that completes the transformation.
It's not a spoiler if I upload it here, right?
Hm
It does say “sky beta (spoilers ahead)”
my bets on purple
Green
So I think it’s okay
Grass grass grass
Yellow
Actually nah I agree with green
Yellow is way to basic for it to be the final colour
oO-
yellow last i reckon.
oH I meant for tomOrroW h-
yellow is like gold though, could clear the clouds and let the sunlight in to complete the area...
Yeah that’s a good point but it’s kinda like the regular light so I’m not sure
But they might just do that since it’s pretty much already a thing in the game
Oops Sorry I cannot upload any photo on this channel 😫
Please DM me if you still want it!
Oh maybe the photos one?
Hmm
I’ll dm you
Put it in #beta-screenshots-videos
Pop it in photos! If it’s a good map and people find it useful, we might be able to pin it. 
Anybody know where's the blue light?
@spark lance valley
@uncut relic Ty
Wait how do you activate it?
access to what
The bkue light
Just touch it
O
Or whatever
this is beta

this is not an early access to the season, its being tested to make sure things are working well before it goes live
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
You're not alone 😔👊
so many of the elements are intentional...?
like the mushrooms? I've never been so confused by a season
I have no clue, but I guess we'll find out soon huh?
I want one @rugged karma!
imo the diamond one looks like a power diamond
I shared my map on beta screenshots and vids channel! 😆
@spark lance where did you find the blue light?
From what I know, it’s in valley ice rank!
Valley ice rink
There is a grey light there, just like in Prairie yesterday.
Also, why does the quest say red light...? Confusing.
It's in the new area
Um, so in order to get the blue light I first have to get the red light in the new area...ie travel back and forth between 2-3 areas to complete each daily quest? Wow.
It’s going to take a lot of time every day.
I wonder, is this perhaps a sped up process for beta? I can’t imagine going to for example Forest -> Wasteland -> Mountains -> Wasteland for quests each day.
And this is the same as belonging with the whole wait for 1 day and this comes out
i dont think were supposed to repair the ark in 1 week... so
Yeah, that sounds logical.
Just unlock some stuff for the area
So presumably the coloured light quest will only pop up once a week. I wonder how that works for people who can’t play every day.
Who knows maybe they stay there or not
It would be nice with some clarification on that.
With previous seasons when we had one spirit per week, they all stayed for the rest of the season, so late-comers could still get them.
But if these coloured lights only show up for a week each it will make it difficult to skip days or start the season late.
Or just in general, whether we are expected to visit 2-3 realms each day for quests.
The ark needs its own portal/shortcut
The boat ride is nice the first time. Even the second or third time
But it gets old fast when you have to do it multiple times a day
Sky: Cutscenes of the Light
Hmm... would be a problem as to where to put the portal
It’s just a bit much
thought so too so, skip button perhaps ?
Like... it’s a cool area, and I especially like how we’re changing the landscape with each light we find
But do they want us to be excited to visit it or groan because it takes so long to get there each time?
We not only have the unskippable boat ride, but also the unskippable wasteland storm
Hmm... guess we have to wait and see for tomorrow i guess?
i can already see thousands of suggestion about skippable cutscenes if boat ride is going to stay the way it is in live
An easier solution is just a portal
Similar to the home/resume portal
But specifically for the ark
ark shaped portal 
That unlocks after you’ve taken the boat ride at least once
They can put it in the Wasteland social area if they don’t want to clutter up home space
It’s a new island. Should have its own portal
Otherwise I think it’s just gonna end up like the Vault — most people don’t go up to higher floors unless they have to
a gentleman this krill is
The thing is how yo manage those extra portals everytime a new area is added. Maybe a portal at the beginning of each level? In their respective hub maybe? That would prevent the home space from becoming a portal parking lot.
Yeah if there’s a portal in wasteland social area that would be fine
Helluva lot faster than going through the storm and then the boat ride over and over and over
probably put where the previous home portal was originally placed ?
Yep
Home portals don’t even make a lot of sense since you can open the settings anywhere and go home
maybe, yes. I never use those lol
Do people actually sit on home portals?
not for me
mhmm probably when in group
We even have a home portal inside our expression list now
But it doesn’t work for a group, does it?
The doorways used to but I don’t think these portals do
Lol
probably the home shrines arent meant to be used solo, theyre slow so a huge group can sit together and teleport without leaving anyone behind
A separate portal menu
but the older portals worked the same, so
To go to any section of any realm
Sky: Children of the menus.
next season: dinner menu
Well, need to go. Some of us cook.
special menu !
Yeah I am concerned about the lengthy journey everytime we need to return to the ark. I mean, I went there to check the spirit guy, then went to valley for the light, then back to ark, it’s a beautiful journey but it’s going to get frustrating really quickly
Yes
Unless the quest giver at home can save you the trouble by giving you the clue to where the light is? Or the other alternative is to be candle running all realms anyway so you’ll encounter the light on your travels anyway. But some of us just want to get the job done efficiently and quickly.
Yeah, it was frustrating. I almost didn´t do it, but the story aspect and layout changes are intriguing. I just wish there was a faster travel time to the Ark. Maybe a pop up menu that says "take a boat to the Ark?" after collecting the correct light for that day / week
Finding it by accident kind of defeats the purpose of him giving you a clue
The other thing that concerns me is if you’re in a group, because it seems impossible for more than one player to meditate on the boat at once. Does that split you up or somehow hold you together at the other end of the trip despite the individual journeys?
Teleportation, it should have
I like it as an actual quest and not something you just randomly search for so you don’t have to travel back and forth
I think you can meditate multiple. i did with a stranger and we ended up in the same instance
Yeah the boat needs more seats
I had to wait to use it bc two people were sitting on it
I couldn’t sit when someone else was. There were three on it, and we literally had to go one at a time. Granted they were strangers, so no idea if it’s different for friends
It’s still not good
Every other sitting/meditation spot is big enough for 8 people to sit at once
Sitting
I’ve never had to wait to sit on the vault elevator or to meditate at a temple
Or just make it that one needs to meditate to activate, and the rest can be passengers. Sort of like only one needs to meditate to open the doors for valley races
I mean why do we need to meditate on valley races tho?
Are we begging god to give us a good game?
To open the door
Summoning the magic to activate the doors

Open Sesame !!
Dear 🌘ThatSkyCat🌒
Sorry I wasn’t able to answer u last night. Yes, I think I have beta
@spark lance you’re iOS right? Did you download beta from testflight, and is the icon just blue background with white skykid silhouettes? That’s the beta. If it’s a pair of skykids watching fireworks, that’s live.
Ummm where's the red light for today's quest?(Forest)
Umm. Not sure u understand, boon
It’s in a place with a mountain lake. ||valley icerink||
No that's the blue one boon I mean the one for the quest the red one
Quest "Collect Red Light"
Oh
That is for the season of enchantment
Whete is the blue light im supposed to find today? Near a pond of pure water?
Mountain lake
Oh wait, you’re right! I just loaded up to check. I thought I’d done them all (assumed they meant the blue one
)

Where is the mountain lake,
Sorry, peridot, I thought you saying you think you have beta meant you weren’t sure. 
@pallid dragon it’s ||valley ice rink||
@spark lance it’s where it was yesterday, at the ark. 🙂
I’ve just gone in and done that quest.
Oh yeah thanks!!
I thought it was there for season starters
I can’t find the blue light
its at valley, ice rink
np
Hey, does anyone have pics of the seasonal candle bunches? I can only find three
GUYS I THINK I SAW AN ORB IN LIVE
In shipwreck
The fire one
In the clouds
I couldn’t get good pics of it but it was really looking like the other ones

Really
Can I post it in #beta-screenshots-videos or should I go to #screenshots-and-videos ?
It was in live
no, post it here
@crisp plinth I found only 3 too
The one i was missing was far from the others. In the hollowed out tree tunnels
@unreal marsh blue light sry my bad..
I think this would be a good time to introduce pack mules
We could ride them to move faster in the ark and also carry some extra cosmetics/tools to change into on the fly
I wish there was a more thorough explanation on what we can expect from this season, such as how it will work in Live over an extended period if time. It would be easier to give proper feedback then.
True
How would you want it to work?
I guess they should tell us if the colored lights will be daily or weekly
Guys I’m very disappointed because for the next season there is not instruments ☹️
Yet 
Im praying they add some new instruments
I'm sure we'll all be surprised
Why would they add cosmetics?
Although, don't know if recording studios are considered "essential businesses"...
Something they can do from home
Hat, yes, new area, no
i mean, look at beta lightseeker
Drap, I would like to know how the coloured light quests work because it may or may not require daily play.
well, they are working from home now
Why? If they did weekly, wouldn't it be the same?
As it is right now my initial reaction is that it seems very time consuming to have to go back and forth.
I agree
Once a week?
...
If one light only appears during one day or one week it would mean players can’t skip days.
You can’t force people to do that.
Unlocked lights wouldn't disappear
But we don’t know that.
Like spirits now, unlock any time past a certain date.
I skipped yesterday, and still got the red light
Yes, spirits are fine once a week like before. But today we had a “red light” quest that granted you a seasonal candle. will that quest be available every day or only once a week? If only once a week you risk losing out on unlocking the spirit’s individual light.
But that’s just a quest
Seems like that's going to be a daily occurrence. Whatever area the rest of the quests are in, that'll be the level you have to pick up the light for.
But if the red light quest is there every day it would mean we have to go to Wasteland every day also.
I hope not
Oh, no, it would vary based on level
The red light quest activates the other light. So you can’t miss it.
You have to do it.
Does it tho?
Juding by the fact the text didn't even display properly, I'd say its a wip 
I don’t think so
It did for me.
Just talking to the guy activated the blue light quest
Hmmm
I got both quests at the same time tho
I couldn’t catch the blue light in ice rink until I had caught the red light in Wasteland. Hence me going back and forth between 3 different areas today.
Maybe you didn’t do it the first time?
Wait, are we talking about quests or daily quests?
I didn’t do what?
I went to the guy and spoke to him and he gave me the blue quest. Then I went to get the red one and then the blue one
What’s the difference?
Didn’t do the red light quest for he first node
I talked to the quest giver in Home. He gave me the red light quest. But I had to go to Wasteland to find that light and then get the blue light quest.
Right but if you go to the ark
And talk to him
He gives you the blue light quest
Before you collect the red light
So the red light daily quest wasn’t needed for that
But why do we need to go both to Wasteland and talk to quest giver at Home? It doesn’t make sense.
That I don’t know
It does seem silly
I dunno why he can’t ask for the blue light at home
for the cutscene to activate?
But that’s the thing: do we actually have to visit Wasteland area every day for this whole season without being able to skip the boat cut scene?
So far yes
If you want the clue for the light’s location
Maybe even to get it
But it’s not every day
It’s just until the nodes are all complete
they should add a skip button on the boat cutscene, having to watch that over and over is going to get annoying
Yes
I still want to know how this works out in Live over consecutive weeks.
Or a portal to get to the ark instantly
Where is the blue light located
valley, ice rink
Thanks ❤️
how do i collect the red light i dont understand this
The red light is in wasteland right to graveyard
The first area in wasteland to the right
Where is the fourth candle bunch 
Thank you 
It should have been. But the specific spirit one that is blue is in ice rink.
Right but someone just said the red light isn’t at the ark for them
Unless I misunderstood
I hope it turns into a lush jungle
Ayayayayaa
I hope the sand gets replaced by prairie rolling hills
I hope we get a tree with leaves, like the one we see in vault for 1 (one) single time 
Hey does anyone knows where this new spirit seeking for pure water is?
Can’t find it anywhere
you don’t need to find that spirit, just talk to the quest giver by tapping the season symbol and head to valley ice rink to catch the blue light
Oooh it’s a blue light in valley then?
then you go back to the ark to talk to the quest giver and the “!” quest will be complete
yep!
Thank you so much!
I read above that some people have had minor difficulty? like they had to complete the red light daily quest before grabbing blue
but maybe try grabbing blue anyway, good to test it out
Oh I had that one
It’s quite a rush that’s the fourth time I go back to the new area today lol
@minor robin the blue light was greyed out for me, so it wasn't possible to catch it at all until I had caught the red light
or, it may be that you only need to talk to the spirit/quest giver in Wasteland itself and not just in Home
oh huh. that kinda doesn’t feel streamlined
might be a good thing to give feedback to the devs
if doubling back is excessive on live, might have a lot of people complaining
oddly, the same supposedly different coloured light was also visible in Prairie yesterday, but it didn't seem to activate regardless of me having done all quests including the red light
so I am confuzzled
I think each day another “?” node for the quest giver is unlocked
yes, that's how I understood it also
but I think we need some clarification on how this will work in Live: once a day, once a week, all week long, a different light each week?
we got a good amount of leeway for candle collecting for Rhythm, so I'm assuming there will be for this new one too - only it's not clear how it works with the new type of quests
I hope it’s once a day, allows people go at their own pace. 
Just wondering if I missed any season candles who has 13 seasonal candles rn after today’s quests
hey kit, a lot of people have different amounts of seasonal candles because they have some that didn't convert from last season. You can get 11 candles every day, if that helps
Ooo didn’t know that thanks for the info!
There was a beta news that the final compensation was paid for free. I want limited items to be paid only to users at that time. Why don't you consider the users who paid and bought the pass? I don't want everyone.
I don’t understand what you mean. What final compensation was paid for free?
Nothing in befa costs money anyway. Do you mean something that was given for free in Live?
I am confused, so add on is free in the beta?
@storm wren the feature you are talking about is not intended, please don’t treat beta as early access, things that happen here don’t always get pushed to the live build
*Everyone add on is free?
What add on?
like in game purchases
Yes.
aww does the beta go away soon or something?
It gets wiped periodically
It’s not a replacement for the full game
It has missing features and is buggy
ahhh dang, when was the last time it was wiped?
It progress was wiped shortly before global launch
Access to beta was revoked when light seekers was being tested
So you can lose your progress or you access to beta at any time if the devs need to do so
ahhh damn, back to candles days in the main game lol
I know people who completed all constellations in beta..
Lol i'm grateful you all told me now, i would of been maxed and crying 🤣
Someone who didn't play beta on the first day of this season, tell me if you can get the mission to collect the second colored light today or if you must wait for tomorrow after returning the red light
It's hard to tell since I'm playing them the day they unlock, so I can't tell if you can theoretically just wait out the season and do all the light quests in one day once the last node is ready
I was able to do the red light quest and blue light quest this morning
I’m a little confused. I don’t have a seasonal constellation, there wasn’t a start animation, and my quest giver is missing. Am I bugging or did they change things big time?
i think it’s a bug
I wonder if you have to visit the ark first
I saw it before going to the ark
The cutscene was telling me there was a new area to go to
Same Seraph... I saw it when I opened
There goes that theory 
Is it just an Android bug? My droid isn't having problems 
Dunno
maybe it’s happening to people who didn’t preorder the pass
idk tho just wondering what might be causing it
Oh yeah, I preorded it
Now I'm so curious too... Well thanks joshur didn't have enough things to think
I preordered it
Ins if I did cause I had a bug. The season was there so was the pass but no new area,no intro,no spirits. But the pass was there
Then the season came and I saw the cutscene later
Does anyone know what happen to the friend menu button, mine completely disappeared
Okie, sure they’re working on it
Ktjn said she thinks it’s not intended for it to be gone
Oh I think I got two opening cutscenes for this season, yeah it's a big one 
I hope it’s intended lol
also we may need to implement the function of showing two spirit progresses at once cause 
What if they tried to replace the button or they are gonna add a new thing later???
Hey guys, are there only 4 seasonal candle bundles in forrest today or did I miss any?
Does anyone know when the new season is releasing in beta? I thought it was suppose to happen yesterday but I haven’t seen anything
It did release yesterday, you are experiencing a bug
Well that sucks, is anyone else experiencing this?
Yeah, no one is sure what causes it but someone said that it might be because you didn’t preorder the pass
Did you preorder?
Yes I did
I’m getting the seasonal candles but the spirit won’t show up or t constellation
😭😭😭
I just submitted some feedback hopefully they see it quickly
I also hope they give us some more seasonal candles 😂😂😂
They won’t
The stuff from the new season is super cute from the screenshots I’ve seen
Awww that sucks
Stuff like this has happened before and there was no compensation bc it’s beta and it should be expected to be broken
I wonder if the candle bunches are there
They should be, they were there yesterday
It’s weird because I’m getting the seasonal daily candles
So maybe they are in the regular levels and I’m just not getting the the constellation and spirits
What’s this new season called again?
Season of enchantment
Thank you 🙂
What’s the ultimate gift?
Awesome thanks 🙂
I’m going to see if the new spirits are in the levels, could someone tell me where the spirit in isle of dawn is?
Or in any of the levels really
I just want to see what Is/isn’t working for me
They’re all in wasteland
Oh wow
In the new area
That’s new
I know 👀
Dang
Less work for me lol
I’m desperate to get a turban on my duck but I keep getting sidetracked and buying other stuff instead
Bc I’m also desperate to get the crab upgrade
That’s going to be interesting.... how many of them are carry quests? 😅
Crab upgrade?
Crab dance upgrade
All but one
The one is where you get the light fragments
WHYYYYY SKYYYY WHYYY
I’m going to get krilled
I wish they would just give us a boatload of candles and let us go crazy
no krills to krill you
It is the season of boats after all
Hello everyone! Does anyone know where the seasonal candles are in the hidden forest? I found two so far
There’s one in the section with the hollow logs and one in the last section (where the bridge is)
i think someone posted screenshots in #beta-screenshots-videos if you scroll a bit 🙂
Ooohh ok thank you so much 🤩
Okay so update!!! The new area is there but I don’t see any new spirits
guys. i really wanna be a beta player. someone have the link? please

I read that one of the spirits is suppose to be right by the boat but i didn’t see anything
there is the link for be a beta player?
no, there is no link at the moment because beta is full
thats telling you how to get notifications for when they open a new invite wave for beta
oh thanks
Terminal Laziness, they may have been talking about the giant boat/ark
someone knows if the next beta link is going to take so long?
We have no idea, I’m afraid, @spark lance
As and when the devs require testers, they will open the beta to new players. There’s no way to predict when or who (iOS or android) and how many.
Admin can’t provide you with a beta link.
so who puts a link?
TGC provide a link when they are actively looking for new testers.
oh. that is going to take so long.
Yeah, I’m afraid there is no shortcut or special circumstance that will provide you with a link before that. You have the beta role, so will get a notification when the next invite wave happens. 
gotta be patient, ive been waiting on it too 👀
Scratch that I see spirits!!!
YES YOU DO!!! Go get them, terminal!!
i really want it
Many people do. I’m sorry, there isn’t anything more I can tell you. 
When the invite wave comes out, the slots go very quickly, so you need to be quick.
it’s ok

You can prepare, (you’re iOS?), by going to the App Store and downloading “testflight” which is the app the beta will download from. That’ll prepare you to click the link when it’s ready and get in fast. 🙂
in ios @pallid badger
Lots of backreading to do still but I'll at least toss these upcoming changes out:
Increased the size of the meditation circle so more than one person can meditate on the boat at a time.
Cutscene to Forgotten Ark will be skippable.
The translation feature is definitely not working correctly and will likely live on beta-only until we get it in a good place.
The traveling spirits and their seasonal constellations in Orbit is Definitely A Bug the Designer was testing some things with their constellations and wasn't meant to go into the beta build.
I'll put this over in #beta-known-issues for reference.
thanks @pallid badger
will the percentage of constellation complete move to live? I really like that! makes me feel like I'm accomplishing my goal a little faster
I'm not sure to what extend that UI is being overhauled. If it's ready, likely yes.
oh boy will the other players be surprised (and possibly confused) when this season goes live
So how much of the boat ride will be skippable? Is there any chance of us just getting a portal in the Wasteland hub?
Are we already over the boat?! Its been like two days!
I think the start will definitely be, but I'm not sure about the time until you can move around on the boat
One of the things skybot does is keep metrics. This is a graph of bug reports over the last 5 days. It might be interesting to some, and it's a nice visual to remind beta players the impact we all have!
Keep up the hard work/play!
it's more the cutscene than the boat for me. i love riding in the boat for the short time you can
I mean, it’s a question of whether they want people to actually visit it past the point of needing to
gotta jump off the boat lol
screw this I can fly
that big change in direction is when the beta patch was deployed
That looks a lot better thank the stock market graphs. 😛
That is quite the spike of helpful reports 
the graph doesn't say whether each report is helpful, but let's just assume they all are 😄
it looks like live reports increased at the same time as beta reports (if im reading the graph right
)
Everything broke at the same time
well yes there were some unrelated live issues
Both apps for me crash on launch a lot lately
But I dunno if that’s just bc I always get to like 200gb before I move some stuff off
it’s been nice to see so much more activity in the beta channels
also it seems like we’re making more beta bug reports per hour than live reports per hour. 
beta player base is much smaller, so that's an accomplishment
may i ask why rhythm was released a week after belonging? l
iOS and Android combined there's something like 30k beta players.
i remember there was a bunch of bugs that came with it
and then there's like 10 mil downloads for the live version
rhythm experienced a lot of issues because the iOS App Store went down the same time the season launched.
it was just an unlucky coincidence? 
which is out of our control, and it took a couple weeks to get sorted.
Rhythm was our most stable release to date, otherwise.
i was gonna say maybe it was because it was an already existing season, but then i have to take into account spirits being places in new areas since the game had changed such a massive amount since that time, such as how we had the dance in prairie instead of aviary
It was 2 weeks between Belonging and Rhythm, which is what we try to aim for.
and also i have to remember prairie fields had a small redesign before rhythm came out
so it was a hefty season the more i think about it
Are the colored lights gonna be on a daily or weekly basis in live? Or can you not say yet?
Resurrecting Rhythm was actually a bigger undertaking than initially anticipated, a lot in the game had changed from its initial run so we had make a lot of adjustments, in addition to a lot polish to the cosmetics to bring them up to current standards.
The light quests are accelerated for beta, I'm not sure what the staggered schedule for live is just yet. The Spirits will all be available at launch though.
Ah ok
Yeah since we had a large portion of the season already complete, we took the spare time to improve funneling for brand new players, which is an ongoing process.
will we ever get a season like belonging where every spirit was released weekly again? or the feedback from it tells enough 
or you cant say 
Hopefully not 😬
i really loved seeing the winter season come to life again though! it seemed like it would have been fun for staff to look back on how far they have come in such a short period of time. it still amazes me
It was pretty boring having candles in Belonging and no way to spend them
We might, it's kind of at the discretion of the design team. We don't want folks to get bored of the same format, so they'll continue to explore ways to shake things up.
The lights work once a week bc they give us something cool to look forward to that doesn’t stop us from buying cosmetics
yeah i like spending my seasonal candles but i can see why they chose to do so. it helped pace players and in a way actually really helped me complete the season on time
When we got all the feedback in, it was surprisingly more supportive of the staggered schedule than what discord and social media might lead you to believe.
so although it was boring to not have all the emotes, i liked the time and pace i had to do things
Loving the gradual permanent changes to the ark. Would love to see more like that in the future
Oh no that’s not good
yes! i love seeing the gradual changes
Hopefully the lights are a good compromise?
i hope the weekly release comes back
i mean the hype leading up to the release of the weekly spirits
i actually quite liked it. made me focus on one thing at a time
Lol so outnumbered here
i feel like seeing that i can change things in game to make something better adds a new meaning to the story
and it'll help ignite a good spark in the lore channel 
Everyone's opinion on it is valid. Even I'm split on it, lol.
I didn’t like everyone having to go for the same items at the same time. Or having those long lulls where I had candles but nothing to spend them on
im so excited for this season
from what ive seen it’s different
the main thing i like about getting everything at once is having the emotes straight away
I'm impatient and wanted my expressions, but it was also really satisfying to sandbag candles and unlock a whole tree in one go.
But the colored lights kinda kills two birds with one stone.
i do gotta admit the phases of everyone wearingt he same cosmetics was a bit awkward but i still appreciate what the aim was
oh yeah i REALLY wanted that guitar lol
haha.
but i really like the hype this server gets whenever a spirit us about to drop lol
I still find it strange you guys don’t just gift yourselves all the candles/upgrades at once 😛
i really like the staggered release because it helps pace the story of the season and the individual spirits
the most satisfying purchase for me in belonging was those pants 
All four?
hhhh that guitar 
pairing those pants and the fluffy cape from rhythm was ultimate warmth for me lol
I got surprisingly attached to the light blue cape, considering I thought at first the purple was my cape soulmate.
I mean, I do on beta when I'm doing documentation. I keep my live account in a state to experience the same pain points y'all do.
i found the pants weird. it made my skykid too plushy lol. it looks like snow pants especiallyif ur chibi
but they are cute
Ahh
i love the belonging pants 
i am almsor at the light blue cape in live
yes suffer through the death loop
i'll be cutting it close by one day
The pants go really well with this season’s theme
Though it kinda bums me out seeing how big the new area is and there not being much reason to explore the krill mountains 
throw a star up there, spice things up
When they’ll need more testeeeeers ,_,
prairie dance pants from rhythm are NICE with this season's capes and masks
Ktjn, do you know if there’s a reason the floppy mage hat has the inner lining? It kind of looks bad with some animals
it makes it look so comfy on my kid’s head
make me climb krill mountains for stars 
But look at it on a duck 😦
ooooo wait a star on krill island would be a fun challenge
idk if i’ll ever take off the witch hat i love it
That actually sounds fun @narrow valley haha
witch hat with weasel mask is superior i'm sorry
Duck mask is weird with hats already, with the one flick of feather hair clipping into everything
floppy hat and floppy ears 
We do our best to make items from various seasons pair together well, but it's impossible to make every item pair perfectly with every other item. In order to do so we'd have to keep items kind of plain and boring.
im a unicorn duck
I’m guessing if it looks bad on the duck it’ll look bad on the deer too 😦
i rlly wanna ask the inspo for this season
it reminds me of the desert
Duck looks amazing in the turbans tho
I just want the mage hat to look good with my deer. 😛
the bases of this season i think is primarily middle eastern
The amount of art and dev work to perfect cosmetics and avoid clipping 100% of the time is A impossible and B not feasible in terms of ROI.
i'm just glad i can see my eyes when i wear an animal mask with my forest elder hair 
that being said, feedback and bug reports help. We can try to make improvements, but again, cannot promise perfection.
u somehow get close to it tho 
anyway, have fun with the clipping too! it's cute when animal ears and horns peek out of the flat lightseekers hat
may i ask a question in here? it’s about beta
Yeah I like the sun hat with the deer
Gives the whole look more character
And was hoping the mage hat would look as good
But I think the lining will be an issue
Not sure how much y'all recall from Rhythm beta how much fiddling with the cosmetics went in. i was sitting with artists for hours every day going over that stuff.
Since it messes with the duck’s face
The bow hair is really pretty with animal masks 
mmm yeah rhythm changed quite quickly in beta
where can i find the blue light?
Yeah you guys made the dodo mask reach further back. Appreciated that!
Valley ice rink
how do you get beta?
thanks! sorry to budge in 🥺 @crisp plinth

So glad I grabbed the owl hair before it was moved
I didn’t 😭
Rhythm beta sure was an adventure, the anticipation of “what will they do to the old cosmetics” was real. Then, imo, we got pleasantly surprised 
Sadly, because of isolation I don't get to jot notes and walk over to the artists with feedback from casual conversation in this channel like normal, which is why I beg that folks take the time to do bug reports and post in the feedback channel.
Oof
i need to submit some feedback soon
stay safe yall

Very true. Get those hands typing, so the feedback gets relied 
i usually wait until i've gotten a few cosmetics and such so i can analyze the physics and whatnot. and surprisingly i've only had one minor bug since this patch was released amd it was only the constellation one
Guess I’ll go report some bugs from the live version
I think I did put feedback about the mage hat
For such a long time, much of this server was convinced that when seasons end, their items will be gone for good 
But also I’m dying to just see how the deer looks in it
really!?
i wish i had the deer mask
Why would anyone work towards items they can’t keep?
I'm really more excited to see this season go live than any others thatve been around here 
same!!
oooo i should probably put something about how the stars move around on the new cape into the feedback channel
sucks that im already spoiling myself but 
Omg I still can’t get over the crab dance
It's hard to explain lol it feels really... complete? It's just satisfying seeing the emotes and cosmetics haha
That’ll be my favorite emote when it goes live
i dont use beta (my beta accounts dead lol) so i find it funny that im here acting like ik what to say 
And I just realized why those trees are there
At the beginning of the new area
And the garden things
welp i just learned i have more time for beta
the state of texas is now in isolation until may 4th
I’m trying to have some self restraint and not spend more candles on anything that isn’t the crab dance upgrade
The green element will deal with that
Right now I only get to enjoy L3/4 when I’m with friends who have it
I need me one of those layered capes so that's my first priority
Wait the whole wasteland is blue?
i'll be able to get a cape tomorrow
Yeah I started working towards a layered cape and then I was just sad I didn’t have anything I actually wanted
Or only that new area
for me only the water is
So I scrapped that plan
So, we are Ktjn's main source of social interaction now....
Play fight has awesome hair too so that's a bonus
Tho I might go for the purple layered since the turban is adorable on the duck
I am so soo sorry
krjn is lurkin
i need a friend to unlock the friend emote with though 
No, I mean that before traveling spirits, a lot of us were convinced that when a seasonal item goes out of season, it won't be available for purchase ever again because tgc won't rerun seasons
but now there's hope
Yeah I have playfight upgraded and don’t even have tier 2 emotes unlocked with anyone in beta
fun fact: last night ktjn was the first person i've talked to on beta in two months
i'm all for ultimate rewards being soemthing you purchase with real money
like how the piano from winter season was for a while
I still can’t believe I can’t buy the pass
It’s just sad T^T
Why can’t you?
i wouldnt be surprised if thats how it turns out. but like, a lot of people worked hard and played everyday to get ultimate rewards. then someone gets it on one go because they bought it..
There’s chaos in the world now
I can’t give money to things that don’t exist T^T
i hope i can get the pass for this season but i kinda spent $20 on the gratitude cape yesterday so it might take some convincing my dad to get the pass 
willow 
Oop
Isn't that a great life metaphor? They goin meta @vivid glacier

I miss hyper speed beta seasons where we can afford like 2 items per day
My parents won’t let me buy it
My apple account is set for the next five seasons thankfully 
i need a job. so i can spill for this game
Annoy them till they give in
I hope I can find someone with a pass...........
Works 2x fast if you have a sibling
Pff I don’t lol
though bc of this corona stuff.. >:(
i spent all of my own money on the founder's cape
Oh, did that get pushed to live?
It’s on YT ehehe
when i see people glitch in i get petty and just stay away from the island while they scream for someone tp activate the portal
Oh, that dude. Trust me, they know
yeah you probably shouldnt say that publicly 
Yeah
shshsh we don't discuss exploits 
i'm sorry but i'm not letting people i don't know in on my $30
Bigger thangs a goin on right now anyways
i could so use the shrug emote rn
Secret level isn't really worth it rn since there's nothing going on there
The Halloween thing was really fun tho I'd visit for that again
i thought they’d add hearts around the office for the week of valentines day haha
but no 
and days of feast, the npc letting you in was cute
the $30 is more to support tgc than to buy access (that’s why it’s called the founders cape)
oh yeah definitely
i hope they do the npc thing again for this years holidays
Crab dance is definitely the new friend greeting
i try to buy anything i can to support tgc
its very thoughtful
Ping me if anything important happens XD
I can't buy the pack rn (no stable income) but maybe when I pick up a job 
i mean if i plan to work there in the future i might as well support them while i'm an onlooker 

though I can also see the new jump scare emote being a substitute for leap spam 
the new jumpy greeting
i'm still waiting for the leap spirit to come as a traveler 
same 
also yeah I want to support tgc as much as possible but I’m also baby and broke 
same moss 
i spent all my christmas money on the founder's pack
and i was only able to get a pass for this season bc my confidential cupid (basically a valentines secret santa) gave me a gift card 

I’m glad I’ll be able to get a pass for the new season though,, I love these cosmetics so much
May I just mention, check out where friend warp is in beta!
playfight displaced it
i have a feeling i'll see a tiny moss running around in the witch hat 
so warp's moved down a level (I think)
I hope it didn’t move up?
unless I forgot to count and we actually have 3 friend ascensions now 
Warp is so essential
and i can also see you trying to befriend the krill in the forgotten ark
I am very excited for the new krill
if you just go the normal path and stuff he will never see you so for hims you have to really get up to him to get a reaction 

i saw a group of four get krilled by him during reset
So yeah, you'll need to compare friend trees to make sure, but warp appears to be lower on the tree than it is in live
That’s good
So warp might be becoming easier to unlock when the content rolls over to live
Don't count on it for certain, but that's what it looks like 
The beta only in Android? Or have in ios too?
Beta is for both iOS and android
Oh did they move warp in the friendship tree?
Iirc, in live it’s above the second lock
They moved it to the node below piggyback
there is a new friendship thing? hehe
It's really hard for me to prove it, so please send a screenshot if you can with the position of warp on the friendship tree 
Hmm it has always been below piggy back though
I love the updated swim
Swimming is actually fun now
But there isn’t a lot of room for it at home
I haven’t seen updated swim? Ooh will check that out tomorrow!
I didn’t notice it till I swam in the oasis
And then I went for a few laps around Home
I mean I think it was updated
I’m no swim expert
Is there any news on adding re-charging points in the new area?
Anyone else kinda bummed out there are no new backslot items?
Ooh Moonage.. that’s an important question
It really needs them
In live I’ll be fine with my campfire but without it charging is a nightmare. Endless walking back to charge on the spirit
Oooh, makes me wonder what new spirits will bring
I really need a hat and hairstyle slot not together 🥺
i’m so exited for it
I just wish we had a pointy wizard hat rather than one of the saggy ones
Can’t wait to make Gandolf the gray
Oh! Right... Does maintenance apply to beta as well?
i don't think so? since server of beta is separated but
We aren't specials 
Anyone else have an issue where both apps crash on launch but then are fine when you try again?
Both?
Live and beta
Happens to me sometimes when I open the app and immediately close
And then reopen later on
It’s happening consistently all the time now
Is it now? If so perhaps because of the announced server maintenance?
I don’t recall it being so common before
Beta isn’t under maintenance
iOS right?
Yeah
look out everyone, app is the reason people are crashing
Maybe connected to the crash bug with QR codes?
Any other large-ish apps? Planned obsolescence is an Apple staple 
I wish someone could lend me seasonal candles to get the crab dance upgrade sooner
2 days is so far off
I made poor decisions
Now suffering for them
So they are getting ready for Android realese
yeye
I'm happy it's soon
Hey I had Taco Bell for breakfast today, same boat. Poor choices.
...what's my life coming to
I'll get play with my friend
same boat.
heh
Boat puns are in now
where is da blue light
can't find the mountain lake
omg valley ice rink
i thought it all was in the same place in wasteland
my big brain thought it was in forest this morning
where is the mountain in forest? there isn't one
are the seasonal candles on the same places as in belonging or?
Different locations
Seemed sorta the same
Just that wherever the floaty lights are happen to be in the same area as the rhythm spirits are so far
They are still at the end of the forest
The locations of today's candles aren't the same eight locations as the rhythm candles
They’re the same place as rhythm but it won’t be that way when the season hits live
I can't find today's red light Dx
Same as the first red light
It doesn’t move
The spirit is just lazy and won’t get it himself
wasn't it in valley yesterday?
or are they all just in wasteland?
I didn't play yesterday so idk haha
The blue one was in valley today
ok =o
Kann jemand deutsch
The red one is at the ark
okay thanks!
i think this build had the old placements, the new ones have not gone in yet.
Sky bot remembers all
I’m confused bc the candles did move
Well, they’re not in the exact spots at least
Prairie might have been tho
The candles aren’t in the exact same spots in live
Ich komm nicht rein ich soll warten aber wie lange
Wo ist deutsch
It’s only English here
is there only 4 seasonal candles or 8
4
In the game Android phone still does not show the headset icon, whether this is a bug, I hope the official do not forget it,
i dont think its available for android yet
hey so this season is great-
We beta players are so spoiled. We get to see the whole transformation in a week
Wait so do season candles rotate even though all the spirits are in one area?
Also does anyone know how the red light works?
Is a non beta player allowed to ask a question here? ☺️

Lol. It isn’t. My question is when you become a beta player do you start beta with a new character or use the same one you play with in the live game. Just trying to wrap my head around it.
As long as you don’t get spoiled it’s fine
You start as a new character from zero stars
Ok. And can you still play in live game with you old character?
Oh cool. Thanks so much for entertaining my curiosity!!! ❤️
Oh maybe swim didn’t change
anyone knows when the live game for Android will be released ?
some time in April. there isn't an exact date listed
Any idea as to where the blue orb is?
my character in live is short, actually from a fix of an old bug, but I haven't used resize potions to change out of it yet. My character in beta in contrast seems to be as tall as they can be
