I don’t believe that accounts can crossover between platforms yet
Cause the game is in development
I think Ktjn even stated that earlier
So yes
Thanks Leony!!
@spark lance are you asking whether there will be an android beta still or are you asking whether you can move your iOS beta account to Android beta?
I'm at the area in Birds nest but I don't see the light
Oh yeah someone said it was stuck in the ground
Then look down and left
It's a bug
I just did, not seeing it
I finally got it to appear by leaving toward the village and coming back
Can tgc put hats and hair in different wardrobes? although game modeling is a lot of trouble... But they shouldn't be put together
You can also enter from bell tower area , that makes the light appear immediately
@pure stag You should put that in #beta-feedback
Sorry
No it’s fine, I just thought that was a good suggestion to give them
Tried going home and reentering; still nothing
I had to wait about 2 minutes before it showed up, maybe try that!
Sorry. It’s kindof a jiggle the handle kind of thing
I tried diving under the ground and flying all over that spot
Will do Giccix!
When I went to another area then back it finally showed
I heard someone found it stuck in the ground
It takes a while to start flying yes
I found that on the ground
To my knowledge the Green Light is working as intended. A modicum of patience goes a long way.
So it’s like a Diesel engine , it takes time to start up ?
gotta warm those glow plugs up before it gets going 
ktjn, is it intended that the lights are not flying in the sky?(on the ground)
Ugh , I’ve got that every morning 😑
The hint text states it's a gift from the sky to the earth.
oh, that's good
thanks
How long have you been waiting?
A pinch of patience goes a long way 
where are the seasonal candles located?
I GOT IT
@bright gulch in the ark
On the ark
fancy that 
alright, thank u!
I forgot to tell you to stay in that area Axiom, sorry!
it'll slip by faster than you think 
Sadness
Purple light anyone?
@woeful lodge asking about android beta still be there
Ok yeah you’re good
37 DAYS!?!?!?!?
It will stay open
@woeful lodgethank God
It says next challenge is in 37 days. I can’t
oh 37day sor
Anyone know where seasonal candles are?
Should be in vault
In the two player room at the beginning of vault
That’s where the purple light is too
May be in production
The ||purple light|| and ||seasonal candles|| are in the beginning of ||vault|| in the|| 2 player room||, everyone!
Where can i find the purple light
@digital tundra u can get them by completing daily quests
@uncut relic i got the quest today of collecting purple light
Anyone know where the green light is? 🙂
Prairie nest
There is no new content today?
Ty!!
@runic pawn yes, check #beta-known-issues 
Anyone asking for purple light or seasonal candles. Look up.
I can’t seem to find the green light
Bird nest at the bottom of the first landing spot @whole kraken
/rant-on I know that it was (and still is) a bug that we can defeat the fall to the ground upon entering the "golden" wasteland, allowing us to fly, if we are careful, up to the skykid on top of the stones, or elsewhere, however. HOWEVER, it did not need to be fixed. The fix that has been done thus far 1. doesn't actually stop us from defeating the fall, 2. just ruins the entire immersion experience. Now, no matter where we land, we are suddenly thrown into darkness, as if the fall was never broken. Just now, I let the fall happen, and then it didn't, my skykid floated to the ground gracefully. All was well, and then I skipped forward, and then yes, there it goes, darkness, the noise of landing, and wake up time. It's just horrible as an experience. I'm hoping this does not make it into the Android launch. Please, either revert it, or simply prevent any interaction until the fall has completed. Personally, I don't see the point in the uncontrolled fall. Seasoned players should have the option to try and arrest the fall naturally, to use their hard earned ability to fly, and ... fly. I've never really understood why the entrance to wasteland was made to be this way; it's just an annoyance, like the cut-scenes after so many times.
/rant-off
Oh no the 38 days
So I guess we’re testing that after the season goes live
Oh boy
Probably yes.
I still hope they have a plan for the daily light quests bc it seems really silly to get clues after we know where they all are already.
I imagine that once they have the next big animation around the ark working well enough for testing, there will be an update and the 38 days will come down. it's just an artificial time thing to prevent us triggering something that would probably crash the app right now.
just shows that this season really in a true beta state.
Or they don’t want us seeing the whole transformation in a week
Maybe they figure if they’re set for the first few weeks, they can wait on testing something that won’t come until like 5 weeks into the season
now, that rant before raised a thought for me. given that Android is due to launch this month (the days are ticking by), what is going to be launched? will it match what we have now in live, or will it just match what live will have when the current season of rythm finishes. I'm really hoping that TGC are not hoping/planning for this new season to launch at the same time as Android. There are so many little issues in the current beta that are not in the current live version. It's puzzling to see some of the changes (moving goldenkid #1, pink/missing textures in forest, camera is like all over the place)
I think it’s probably still like 2 weeks away
Since there’s still a few days left of rhythm
I know I'm a cranky old so and so, and I whine a lot, but I do love the game. The new ark area is pretty nice, and what we're seeing so far of bringing the ark back to life mirrors a vision I had for the game as a whole that I wrote about last year (or the year before) on the old FB group.
They only had like a week of beta before Belonging went live, no?
And Belonging was buggy
yeah, but do you really want the masses on android (and there will be literally hundreds of thousands of people) to have a first experience of the app as not being damn near perfect?
I assume they’ll push it off if they need to
I hope so
But they did say the season is coming this month and I doubt they would willingly walk that back
....it's not like we release broken things intentionally.
or try to make things annoying
Welllllll
the accusations are genuinely very hurtful
it's okay if you don't like something, but please keep the feedback constructive.
I must agree with Sky Peter on the wasteland entry thing above though..
I wouldn’t want all the ‘droids to also get bothered by that
I think harsh feedback stems from people waiting too long before they give it, having build up a lot of frustration about it before they actually take the step.. or on the other hand, they could be initial knee jerk reactions (I’ve been guilty of a few 😓)
I think the visits to the ark are just highlighting how annoying the wasteland cutscene is. When you have to go through it multiple times a day it really hammers it home.
If playing a game builds up resentment, it might be time for a break. Even I have to remind myself of that for games I play and care very deeply about.
Normally I don’t even visit Wasteland much unless there are quests there.
So some of us have gone from doing it once a week to 3x a day over the last few days
Hey Ktjn, I never mean to be hurtful. yes I can be gruff, and I say what I think. Eric told me this is what made so many of my reports in the past useful, that I didn't pull my punches. I have taken the odd break from Sky, but I'm always drawn back in. I'm not resentful at all.
To me.. if part of a game builds resentment..
I start thinking about how to lift that resentment
By making suggestions to improve the game
(Also, resentment might not be the right word.. more like, mild frustration)
that's the nature accelerated content for test purposes, in live there will be a lot more time for this stuff to breathe. these quests will be spaced out a week at a time, and the daily light quests will only be added to the rotation as their story quest unfolds.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with your old reports, and perhaps that style worked for Eric.
That’s good. But people still might want to visit the ark just to explore, mess around...since it’s new. I hope you guys are still considering more than just a skip button for the boat cutscene.
I think it's really easy to forget that there are people on the other side of the screen.
I know that feedback has been submitted, and I've sent it over to the design team. It's up to them to make adjustments as they see fit.
Right
Hopefully the break in the ark quests will give the devs time to figure out solutions.
I always saw the fall in wasteland as symbolic, a fall from grace that is valley, and while I agree it can be annoying at times, it serves as the realisation of the challenges both of the area and the symbolic life stage and times both ingame lore wise and in real life that it is reflecting represents.
BTW you can land by getting over to the rock with the spirit in the middle of crab lake, further than that and you don't hit the blackout cutscene.
I think people just want to get closer to the boat tho
And this week was the first time I even successfully landed by the higher wing 😅
Yeah, you can avoid it, buuuuuut... and here I have a possible solution..
Once you touch ground outside of the cutscene trigger zone, the cutscene trigger should be disabled.
Oh I've managed to fly from the whirlpool onto the ark transport boat without touching the ground (10 wing though humblebrag sorry not sorry
)
If you do it right, you can land fairly close to the boat (I think people more skilled than I am even landed in the boat) so it’s certainly a bit demoralizing to then get flung backwards. Even if you know it’s coming.
i like how i know a lot about the ark but none about where the ark is
Ktjn, we really appreciate everything you and TGC do, especially during such a trying time. However, please make sure you guys take care of yourselves so you don’t overwork yourselves and burn out. I can’t speak for everyone, but I‘m willing to say that many of us are willing to wait as long as necessary for you guys to get new content up and running without risking significant crunch time and stress. Your health and safety, as well as that of your familles, is most important right now.
Please take care of yourselves, and stay safe. We all love you! 
It’s not just about trips to the Ark, it’s about the entry to wasteland in general, isn’t it.
...I feel dumb asking this but are we allowed to ping community devs here?
No
@sand dawn do you mean zone as a physical area zone (which I think it currently is, just is the whole island before the swamps, so maybe a but large)
or a time zone, that if you hit within a time from entering it doesn't trigger?
Coolio, thanks AppUnwrapper!
I hope Ktjn sees my above message though...she seemed pretty bummed out earlier 
Axiom I think you can send that to the feedback channel where they'll definitely see your message
It’s about entry to the wasteland but the ark certainly highlighted the issue for many
@blazing sail yeah, there seems to be an area just before the boat that doesn't allow closed wing flight, however, fly above the pier and you can change to closed wing and land in the boat more easily.
Ahh thanks
I think I’m done trying to fly to the boat, tho, until something changes 😅
Maybe I should bug report that, like the wasteland floor in vault was hard to land on the bones until it changed to allow closed wing, or how it still is with the pillars at the end of valleys races.
This was an odd read back. I must say I didn’t perceive Peter’s “rant” as unconstructive. It was honest and heartfelt, and I know many of us find the unskippable cut scenes tiring after the umpteenth time. That doesn’t mean we suddenly hate the game or are resentful about its features. I find that a strange logic. Surely we must be able to “rant” as long as we are not outright rude.
@hollow compass do u know the purple light location
It’s in Vault Aster!
@spark lance it's in the vault archive, you'll find a 2 ppl door to the archive near the message candle circle
1st floor
or ground floor
We are expected to play this game daily (basically) and I hope that the devs realise that some features can therefore become annoyances upon numerous repetition, however beautiful or important they are.
what @dark quail said for sure. I'm sorry Ktjn is feeling hurt. Nothing I say is a personal attack; yes sometimes I (and others) can be critical but that has always been an essential part of finessing this game.
I'm a dev myself; I know what it's like to be on the other side.
@finite pumice yeah, creator bias can suck sometimes when your first reaction is to be defensive, I know I've felt it in the past, especially on long running projects.
@dire escarp I love what you've said. yes you're right that from a lore perspective that it makes a certain sense.
Thank you for the kind words Axiom. We know so many of you have exercised tremendous patience with us when we miss the mark, which is why it's equally important to us to make things right. This season has had its challenges with the current state of the analog world and transitioning to remote work to accommodate. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices you all never see the light of day of, which is why it's important that we polish what we do present. That being said, design vision and player expectations don't always align, and there's opportunity for growth on both sides.
I think the core strength of TGC is your willingness to engage with and listen to the players. It’s a two-way street and we should all remember that.
Oof I just remembered feedback I forgot to give
As much time as I spend trying to convey the reasoning behind design choices, I spend even more time championing for what you all hope for in return from the design team.
Ktjn, please don´t feel as if you miss the mark because you don´t. It is your game after all and we are happy to be able to test it before it goes live.
It’s looking phenomenal though. I mean, we’ve been wanting more lore. This is a veritable treasure trove. So much story being revealed to us. And the incredible hook of restoring light to such a dark place. You guys have surpassed expectations with this season. 
^^^Very much this
^^^^!!!!!!!!!!
Wholeheartedly agreed to what Boon said
Omg, yes. I love the new area. That is definitely the least of my issues with the game.
You all are doing wonderful work over there in these difficult times. This season might´ve started rough with the unskip-able scene, but we know in the end it´s going to be a great product that gets pushed to the live servers. Although hiccups are bound to happend, cause technology

My only concern is wheter Ktjn hasn´t gone to bed yet or is already awake.
squint isnt it like 2 am in cali
You can just jump off the boat and boost your way through the clouds. You can almost be at the ark by the time the sound of the boat beaching happens. 
As a side note, I was seriously considering quitting the game, because I’ve been playing for two years straight. But nope, this new season is too amazing to miss!
Honestly, you get a bit tired, take a break and all the sudden you´re drawn back in. Regardless of new season or not
The polish already with the sleeping spirit looks amazing, I reran that yesterday, after only 4 days and it's looking near finished, and more detailed than some other emotes with the canopies and spiritual bunting
Well, I can’t say I’m doing much in Live atm...
That´s a really good quality Sky has. I don´t think other games come close, in terms of genre n´all that
@hollow compass you could say the new season is "enchanting"
Lol
@timber ridge Schrodinger’s Ktjn
Unless we talk AC, but AC has been around for decades, Sky has been around officially, live, for about a year soon. And look at what it has done to impact everyone 
If it's not me, it's the clones 
It´s always the clones, Ktjn is asleep 25/8 
thats not even ktjn, thats a clone
since i don't have a 3 hour commute, i'm glutting myself on my natural nightowl tendencies >_>
Oof, i can totally get that. I didn´t sleep before 2am >_>
nervous 5am laughter
And i even go in for work, though the commute is only 15min
The whole method and mechanism to get these quests is also really cool. It’s so different to all previous seasons. Makes it feel like sky 2.0 ... new.
I took a break once I completed the rhythm cosmetics bc I really just needed some time where I wasn’t logging in every single day
Sky has officially entered the path of evovlement, soon it´ll go from Sky to... Sky.. more? 
3 hr commute?!?
I wonder how many offices will just stay remote after this.
@ebon vector we don’t share personal information here, to keep our members safe. Can you remove or edit that so you’re not revealing your location? 🙏
@blazing sail I'm not going from 2 years of experience (Androider) but now I'm done with regular constellations, I don't go into levels to farm anymore, I go into them to enjoy the areas, look at walls and textures for things I havent noticed before and generally just enjoy the creation.
Not having a perceived "to do" list is freeing.
you can miss so many things when you’re focused on one
it'll certainly be interesting to see how the world recovers after this.
@dire escarp Yeah, i much rather log on and skate around, mess with emotes and outfits, chat with friends.
But I knew a new season would be around the corner and that I’d be doing it in both beta and live, and if I didn’t take an actual break I’d go mad
@blazing sail I think I've done the graveyard plant more times now after finishing than I ever did before.
Haha nope nope nope
I’ve gotten krilled while standing back and letting friends burn that thing.
More than once actually, I think
Ouch, there is no spectator sport in wasteland, you're part of the sport in there
Same, Mael!! I go in for fun, not to grind. Do the bits I want, leave the bits I don’t want. And graveyard plant is the most fun!
Nope
I know a lot of people are disappointed there aren’t krill all over the ark, but I’m relieved
We did get 1 additional krill at least, and a krill painting!
True
I hope the krill will come at the end and destroy all the beauty achieved, making the Ark area return to its original state.
Just kidding XD
I like krill from a distance
@timber ridge I was kinda now thinking the opposite, would have been nice to have krill diminishing as we restored the light from where darkness prevails
atlantean dont spoiler the ending of the season! 
and that's how the white krill will appear
Start with the ark looking like the most daunting area, ending with it looking most beautiful
At the end we all get a friendly pet white krill
i wanna grow some tomato there
And have krill races
You can just jump off the boat and boost your way through the clouds. You can almost be at the ark by the time the sound of the boat beaching happens. :sLUL:
@pallid badger yes I’ve had the boat landing sound just after landing at the spirit.
I am so looking forward to the spirit village that will pop up in the big empty area in the middle...
Any theories on the area of ark just before the furthest cave?
I was thinking farmland, maybe a mushroom farm
I hope we get a pub like the one in Stardew Valley lol
It doesn’t seem like the transformations are affecting the areas beyond the main ark and pool, tho?
Oh yeah there is an anchor there now
it looks like farmland and the spirit there was watering the soil
Ok I seriously need more sleep. Night guys!
maybe not mushroom I think we don't need furrows for mushroom farming
Another theory is that a big donut shaped mothership will come out of the ground, try to fly away, get hit by the krill, then crash and roll over Charlize Theron trying to escape her demise.
I don’t think i saw that movie
i cant believe im getting excited over a farm in a game
i want to plant my candles and make it double
Spirits gotta eat
The central area could also be used for krill rodeos, but I guess we would need cowboy hats before that.
But if the ark flies off, it’s probably taking civilization with it 😛
The styles are slowly coming westward, we had Bhutan inspired cosmetics, and this is looking similar to eastern eurasian magi, soon we'll have stetsons and bowler hats
🤣
Since the animals might have had babies since the Ark crashed, we might get to keep them. There´s just room for a couple of each species in the Ark after all.
2 of each lol?
animal babies!!
I really hope we never get a toreador flamenco dancer inspired season though. Please, don´t.
Flamenco dress inspired cape would be cool though
Iker I thought you like ruffles
💃
And the whole soundtrack played with classic guitar. I just can´t.
I hate ruffles.
I wouldn´t mind more ancient Iberian outfits though.
https://img.europapress.es/fotoweb/fotonoticia_20170805174413_640.jpg
The flamenco toreador thing is so cliché I just can´t.
ancient designs are cool
Bullfighting is awful anyway
i can imagine that image as a hair
it looks like huge headphone
i cant find the green light for the life of me, im in the area where i think it is but im not seeing it anywhere
and of course as i send that i glance at my screen and see it
it's in the bird's nest but it seems that u should wait there for a while until the light appears
yeah i was flying around for quite a bit looking for it and didnt see it
lo and behold, the moment i ask for help it pops up lol
speaking of magic, do y'all remember the boo emote spirit was doing boo beside the farm?
I wonder how that emote could be related to the supposed cultivation
Scaring off the crabs and everything else trying to eat the seeds?
oh, scarecrab!
I was hoping that emote would scare crabs off too 
when you dont have a scarecrow, sometimes you must BE the scarecrow
Well @blazing sail , the whole flamenco dancer aesthetic is very specific to Southern Spain. We don´t even relate to those outfits in the North. And yes, I find bullfighting totally disgusting and anachronic. In the past, bulls were considered sacred, not anymore sadly.
SCREAAAAACH
Oh no, Pines.
To scare crows you must become the scarecrow
atlantean 
hi everyone
hi
you mean the seasonal candles?
I’m way behind everyone else this season due to the reshuffle but today I get my crab dance and that’s all that matters
Until @timber ridge sends me more photos of his kid in the purple layered cape, that is
Did someone say the candle placements will be changing for live?
afik no if you are talking about seasonal ones
Ok maybe I misunderstood
ktjn said the seasonal candle placement could be old in earlier build, and that's it I think
Ahh
so far the candles are in the area where the colored light is, so probably they are being placed as intended
Weren´t you supposed to be in bed like an hour ago?
I´ll prepare some new pics with my flamboyant purple cape.
I tried to get more sleep
I failed, as usual
So I noticed something strange
If you try to go from lvl 1/2 crab dance straight into lvl 3/4, it just goes straight into you getting off your back
The vault candles in the same place as Belonging seems wrong
Lol
No, just around the purple light
On the flying debris
That purple light really is nice
Yeah, please, to the top floor.
Now home candles! 
That I can dig
Ummm
Anyone have a weird thing going on with the elevator?
Someone else would light the the sconces and sit down like they were all activated, but they weren’t all activated for me
I would have to light them again
Still haven´t done today´s quests in beta.
So go do them
I´m cooking, I´m always cooking.
I gotta say, I'm really enjoying new season ngl
Just got the wizard hat I really wanted and it looks amazing haha

Android coming out on Live this month!
Buuut we don’t have the initial date when
So might give some time for TGC to work with fixing and finalising everything before launching onto Live for Android !
37 days ⚆ _ ⚆

lots of time for TGC to work with!
( probably for the best since the next spirit/light might play important role hence having the needs of time to work on for the Ark’s next glow up XDD )
Hi
Anyone know wheres purple light
In the Vault new area to the right
Where are the mushrooms?
In ark
2 in the left corner of the map floating in the air and another 2 oob underground by the smaller sunken ship
Bring a table or a campfire you need to land to pick them up haha
I gotta say, that Ark area really reminds me of Journey
the bit at the beginning where we walk up the sand hill gave me some journey vibes 
sand is a staple of journey
Just had my first try with the auto-translate option. I had a chat with some Chinese friends and it went quite well.
The new translate function is great! I have lots of frens from China, Japan and other SEA countries and I've been using a separate app to talk to them before, so I really appreciate the devs for adding this in-game 
Now I can talk with all frens with no boundaries :p
Yeah, I switched from English to Spanish to test if other languages were included as well and it worked just fine.
That purple light really is nice
@blazing sail it’s super pretty but it’s SO BRIGHT! 🤣
For everyone freaking out about the month+timer, let’s keep in mind that there was a gap of 2 weeks or less between the current live season and the previous and the previous season and the one before it.
They know that a new season means a lot of people dropping money on season passes, so they have a big incentive to get that content finished and released to us ASAP.
Be patient. I’d guess we’ll see an update before Monday.
(Current Live season ends this weekend)
i need advice where to post this:
it would be a nice touch if the blue water at the Ark elder provided rapid charge (like bonfire in the Forest). in desert cultures, water was highly cherished for its cleansing and restorative powers. this would fit well with the season’s theme, add a layer of meaning for the new water color, and provide a sweet recharge point for solo players.
@vapid briar where is the best place to post this?
You can put it in beta feedback, but having water recharge a being made of light runs counter to other elements in the game.
Just my 2 cents but it is a beautiful concept
thanks @woeful lodge
making it even more special!
Does anyone know where the greenlight is?
Not necessarily. If the next node isn’t unlocked in live for like 7-8 weeks from now, they can start the season without it coming to beta yet
@covert mirage i just searched this chhannel: it’s in prairie birds nest area
@wheat blade put this in beta feedback. And best not to ping TGC staff
noted, and thank you @blazing sail
posted it to BF
Where’s purple light?
vault, archives
Thank youuu
theres also images in #beta-screenshots-videos
Why is the next node for the light quests say “37 Days????” 😂😅
HHH
Ty 🙂 I really hope it doesn’t take over a month though
omg that ONE krill is buggy!
Is triggering krill in red light for 3 times and it attacks immediately?
hunting time is cumulated
Yeah just tried it
(the time its eye become red)
So, since they survived the accident and even thrived afterwards, what could have caused their final demise?
The Mega krill attack, I´m telling you.
The Krill indeed get tired of your nonsense and attacc when repeatedly baited.
i hate this setting tbh
That's exactly what happened.. I found the problem
there are krills in the game?
nope just spikey grumpybois with bad dandruff 
It can be repro tbh
The krill in the new area is not stale, it does attack you and it’s quite hungry for you if you try to go oob 
I was wondering if someone had tried that...
Me and boon tested.. accidentally yesterday
oh so it's supposed to attack if you get caught a second time? I thought that was a abug cuz it only happens sometimes
The area the boat travels in, there’s so many windwalls. I just want to explore the entirety of that part of the new area 
Absolutely love the new translate
Oh is the translation feature working in beta now?
yeah! it works quite well 
Gotta test later!
I hope the candles in Vault get moved to floating debris. The Belonging spots can’t be their intended locations, can they?
it's been long enough that i couldn't remember if they were the belonging spots, so i don't mind
having candles on floating debris would be really cool for that area though
maybe put it in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived
Hi, umh, Where's the blue light? The spirit says it's in a mountain lake, but where's that?
||ice rink in valley|| @bitter remnant
Would make sense to have the candles along the path of the colored lights, the same way they are with spirits
The candles should also be under the ice in valley
We’ve never had them under the ice before
Actually surprised we never had a spirit under the ice yet
Prairie....I mean, there aren’t too many places to shuffle it around to at this point, so it’s fine. But would love to see those others more in the path of the lights
@prime belfry Thank you!
update

Uh oh
idk if it's my internet or what but it's taking its time this time 
Update time
b u g f i x e s a n d i m p r o v e m e n t s
mine doesn't seem to want to download
Where are seasonal candles today? 
In the new arae vault. The archives
Ok CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME WHICH EXACT ISLAND IN PRAIRIE THE GREEN LIGHT IS? Sorry just angry and literally forgot which one was bird nest
@tawny bough mine downloads very slowly
maybe something big idk
or a LOT of bug fixes
nope
😔
sooooo, this happening to anybody else? The new update plays a cutscene when you enter the krill temple in Wasteland and there's a windwall right inside that slams you back out the door... into the cutscene that then forces you to walk back inside 😆
going to check that out
idk if it was just the way i was inputting movement but my sky kid fell down from the wasteland vortex as if it was standing
can confirm @icy falcon
does this mean the rest of wasteland is inaccessible?
oh after the second time i got glitched under the map and i started losing wings to the murky water underneath
lost 3 stars
stay on the right side, close to the wall and you can avoid the windwall and enter
Isn’t that old bug news tho?
Ok so I updated beta and now I can’t see any other players. I’m totally alone in the game
it may take a little bit for everyone to update.
So this update is just general bug fixes?
The game is deserted not just empty constellation. I did the whole of vault alone, just went to the ark and not a single player to be seen. This can’t b right surely?
@rain token might only see people on your same version. ?
it's largely art polish or back end under the hood stuff. Placement of spirit memory poses, textures, spell effects, meshes, blob tweaks, minor crashes, android device ratings fixes and the like.
Patient Loony is patiently waiting for 37 days to suddenly be over 😁
Probably best not to think about that.
Although there are other reasons to want the next month to pass quickly. 😛
Ktjn, is there a reason why some people are seeing the tents and stuff from the spirits and others aren't?
Might be different builds.
Wait Iker are we only friends on live? I thought both? I was gonna try joining you but can’t find you.
it's phased to personal progression. Are there screenshots?
Yeah, I´ve seen some blue tents.
Also, is it just me or does the game have a harder time staying in memory lately?
I'll take a look when I'm out of this meeting.
In different spots, so the spirit might be active for some people. Oh, nevermind, no worries.
Thanks anyway. It´s not important by any means.
Ok so ummm
Everybody appears offline after this update, except people who haven't updated but I can't warp to them cause they're on an older build
Steph it says you’re on an older version but we both updated?
I didn’t update on my iPad but can join people who did
Can’t join them on my iPhone which is updated
Weird update
In the meantime, while you wait until things are sorted out, @blazing sail could entertain you all with her cooking skills. A sight to behold.
That’s beta for you lol
Ok, I´m leaving.
Lol
@blazing sail I swapped to my iPhone which I haven’t updated yet and I could find people finally.
Feels like the update it bugged in some way
Ahh ok
Thank goodness I didn’t update my phone yet
So yeah new update is definitely broken
Do we have to do anything at the ark today?
is it too early to bug report? 
I did on my iPhone but not on my iPad since it had bad results
Now the non updated one is empty 😂 trying to do bench task
Oof
@blazing sail I don’t think it’s actually going to be 37 days. I think they’re just trying to finish the next task and then release it when it’s done...
Probably. I´d put 3736743 days left to troll players though lol
The new update has a windwall in wasteland, in front of the krill room, so if you try to enter it slams you back. You'll hit a wall, the doorway (which forces you to watch the cutscene again), or end up back outside and in water, and still have to watch the cutscene. It's an endless cutscene loop now... 😭
Wait so you can’t get into the room?
I could get in by staying really close to the right side of the doorway. On my fourth try, which makes four cutscene repetitions. 😢
Oeh nice , I’ll check it later , I love cutscenes
Wow what a weird bug
Sounds like grounds for a bug report 
Sounds like the whole update is broken. Just toss it. 😛
#JustBetaThings
Beta fail no. 272273937383739
Does anyone know if switch will go into beta , if so , then I can confiscate the switch from my kids in advance
Which krill room are we taking about, the very first one?
Never experienced so I have no idea atipleb
yeah it looks like there's something amiss, we'll be deploying a new gameserver shortly. Hang tight.
Should I make a bug report?
I have video proof (getting a heart from an “offline” player )
we'll be deploying a new gameserver shortly. Hang tight.
Okidoki
Wait, why is there even a panning out of the camera there? I don’t remember that being there before either.
Oh, ok.
Lol, the krill have had enough of us! We’re literally shut out.
No problem , just give me the wax and I’ll let them@be
wow that is a strong windwall. it's actually kinda fun
i dont think switches do public betas?
I don’t even know if switch is kinda like android based or something
Switch also seems to have a really long review process. Baba is You would get like weekly updates on PC but Switch would be like a month behind.
Wonder how that works for online games
gameserver was deployed, restart and let me know if things improve.
That need constant updates
same
the only online game i can think of on the switch is fortnite lol. though i dont play
I still see no people
The one friend I tried to join said they’re on an older version
Consoles have a certification process before updates can go to the public, that's why updates are fewer and further between. When we do updates for iOS and Android, there is a review process, but it's nowhere nearly as exhaustive.
I ended up just not playing much on my Switch, even tho it was more convenient. Bc it was just always behind.
For that game at least
Most games I think don’t get/need weekly updates
Ktjn, still unable to enter first krill room.
we’ll see when we get to more switch announcements then i guess
hmm, lemme hop on and see what going on in that room.
Okay, works I can see friends and be seen by friends
The details for switch are still being hammered out, unfortunately I don't have much for specifics or talking points. once Android is out, we'll shift gears a bit.
either way im very excited for the switch release 
i see peeps online!

i see what you mean now with the first krill area. i'll flag it up asap.
Alternative solution: Just delete wasteland
We get it App, you hate wasteland
but the new season.. 
Alternative solution: purify all of wasteland 
Wasteland is nice wym
alternative solution: replace krills with mantas
Krills are nice 
Just move the boat
ark flies over wasteland at end of season and purifies battlefield Okami style
And then we all get friendly pet krill to ride
yes please tgc
Don’t get me wrong — the krill are a great concept. Their sound effects are terrifying. But I’ll watch from a distance
I’ve only gotten more comfortable with the graveyard bc of the home trick and bc I had no choice what with all the candles being there for TWO seasons in a row
Even from a distance that sound when they attack plays like it's right next to you 
It’s funny when people think that bc I make videos I’m gonna help them burn the big graveyard plant 😂
one day you’ll learn to.. accept the area
I just solo wasteland and pray I merge into a server it's already burnt in XD
when i do it solo i do the same 
Well, you could help us burn the graveyard plant, @blazing sail
kinda hilarious to watch 8 people burn it at once. plant goes byebye real quick
The krill can’t even spot you under the leaves 🤣
I once did that plant with my candle run partner AFK at the bottom. I had to constantly lure away the krill while still making progress on burning the plant
the wasteland issues at broken temple and into the first krill area should be fixed in the next build.
i need advice where to post this:
it would be a nice touch if the blue water at the Ark elder provided rapid charge (like bonfire in the Forest). in desert cultures, water was highly cherished for its cleansing and restorative powers. this would fit well with the season’s theme, add a layer of meaning for the new water color, and provide a sweet recharge point for solo players.
@wheat blade you can just stand near the spirit there to recharge.
The area the boat travels in, there’s so many windwalls. I just want to explore the entirety of that part of the new area
@lunar zealot I was expecting one of the quests to be there. Tbh the quests are super easy this time which is a nice change after that one in the swamp.
They are quite easy, but I don’t mind though.
I just wish a lot more was explorable. Spirit or no spirit in the area. From what you can see before the wind wall push you back; there seem to be some interesting mesh patterns that makes for some cool structures to explore. Though it being rock 
thanks Peter. i have been doing the spirit charge for ages. i think this is a worthwhile addition to the season, especially with the cultural reference. also the recharge time is like 1/100th of what it takes standing at the spirit. for a 2-3x daily task, that time adds up fast
Well, you could help us burn the graveyard plant, @blazing sail
@timber ridge never
Everyone saying the quests are easy and like I almost lost the light for good several times. Just from slipping down sand or the light not following me when I fly up onto the ark.

Why not tone down a little the pink flowers. It looks a little candy for a desert.
that looks like a good candidate for #beta-feedback momo
the green light appears after around 2-3 minutes of waiting
Need help with the sit in a bench quest 🙏🏼
@vapid briar done
Everyone saying the quests are easy and like I almost lost the light for good several times. Just from slipping down sand or the light not following me when I fly up onto the ark.
@blazing sail actually, there was one that was a pain, but I think it was mostly because of the path I took. The boat with the hollow part up high. when trying to get up to the (I think) 2nd last spirit location, I could not walk, I kept sliding down and it seemed liked there was a crab inside the boat or under the ground that kept knocking me over. I eventually managed to fly up without losing control. I must say, that like the current camera issues, the tap/hold to boost upwards seems flakey and unreliable at the moment. I don't know how many times it boosted twice, taking me beyond the quest light. I had to float back down and start again. lucky that our flight power doesn't deplete when holding the quest light.
I had the same issue getting on top of that part of the boat @finite pumice
I slid back down a few times until I flew up properly.
has anyone noticed that when the boat first starts off from the pier, the patterns on the side of the boat don't move in sync with the boat itself. what's more when the initial cut scene is done, those patterns are gone altogether.
anyone else getting straight up yeeted by a windwall in wasteland? Only happening in Beta
I put it in #beta-known-issues just now.
thanks! I didn't see a notification from bug news ^^;
Glad I’m not the only one who struggled with that ark spirit. I was so nervous I was gonna run out of time after managing to rescue the light like 10 times.
Those flowers definitely make me flashback to the game Flower. (Which is available in the app store, btw.)
is there any way to upload a video more than 8 measley MB for a bug report here? Sometimes, when you want to demonstrate an issue 8MB, or about 20 seconds worth just doesn't cut it.
I want to see a flower portion in ark!
upload your vid in #beta-screenshots-videos then link it in bug report
Like we turn into light and follow the flowers. Would be nostalgic
Sky Peter I usually just break the video up into multiple parts for that sort of thing
Thanks Adar. I've done as suggested and posted it in the other channel. Bug reported. I used to do that a LOT on FB, but these days I don't have the time, and this discord mechanism is to clumsy for a concerted effort at writing up issues like I used to.
this server has a 100mb limit now. and Youtube is always an option if you need a feature-length bug report @finite pumice
isn’t there gonna be a forgotten ark area?
well I seen spoilers by a lot of people saying there is
if you're not afraid of spoilers, try searching for "forgotten ark" or scrolling through the beta screenshots channels
ok
how to change the sky, ios account for Android?
First, is one of the accounts live and the other beta? Or both accounts beta/live?
both accounts are active
Hmm that’s not quite what I was asking
Are you trying to transfer live progress to beta or vice versa?
no, i'm wondering if there will be a way to transfer an ios account to Android
You’ll need to link it to a Google account, then it can link up on both platforms
What do you think the new icon will be for the season? A boat?
i thought it already is
I mean the app icon
A boat makes sense, but flowers would be a subtle homage to an earlier game...
Valut. 2 player door
I think it was an anchor App
Can I get a beta access

Does anyone know when a pc version will be avaliable?
I really want to play again..
no announcement has been made yet for when sky will come to pc. i believe sky will come to PC eventually, but porting takes time, especially since tgc is a tiny indie-studio, and for now they’re just focusing on porting to android.
sky is coming to android this month, and to nintendo switch later this year. hopefully you can play on one of those platforms. 
midnight update
might be that tgc submitted hours ago but apple took a while to review
Does anyone know where I can find the purple light?
tgc submitted this build and it got passed just now
catenkaa, it’s behind the 2-player door in vault of knowledge 
hi!

So cute 
yay!
Thank you
Hahaha
Thank you Chief!
Morning (or afternoon/evening) all 🤗
Can I get promoted to the post higher than yours Chief?
There is no higher post than mine
Do purchases in the beta charge my iTunes account or are they demo purchases as in just forbtesting?
@neon dragon Hi would you like to be Private Krill
No, but they are reduced in price
Private Krill? 😱
!betacost
Everything in beta is free, so nothing in the in-game store costs actual money.
Chief wants a private krill for this :- 


It shows a price, but you don’t actually get charged
So I accidentally bought a pass in the beta but iTunes didn't ask for my finger print confirmation and I didn't receive an email for the in app purchase
I can't help you there sorry
Yes it doesn’t charge u since it’s beta
beta iaps costs nothing
Everything in beta is free, so nothing in the in-game store costs actual money.
@gilded parrot that's a relief
So u won’t get an email or anything
No worries Private Krill
Another question
I have the white founder cape, if I "buy" the founders pack in the thatgamecompany office HQ area , will I lose the blue/white one and gain the blue/black one?
they are two different capes
What's private krill? Do I have some private setting or something that means you can't see me?
youll have both
they are two different capes
@empty inlet oh nice
Thank you for your useful replies!!!
I'm still scared of krills in the game after playing two years 😭😩
You never noticed Everything is free in beta, after2 years😂
I did but I forgot.
And I did see I didn't get a purchase email
Bur thought I'd make sure
🤕
@glad inlet sorry, this is really late reply, but just to let you know you can't change iOS beta to Android beta since you need to apply to get access to each of them. I'm assuming you are hoping to do that, since you're asking here in the beta channel. If you're talking Live accounts, then the advice given should work.
@neon dragon I was just thinking , do you go by the name ‘max’ in game ?? I’ve a max in beta but he hadn’t been online for sooooo long. I used to play a lot with this one in the beginning 🤗
Does anyone know were the green light is today from the daily quest?!.. thank you

Bird's nest?
😩
Yes, bird's nest, I just found it
So in this season, we have an additional pack with the gratitude cape and mask
Is there gonna be something like that at the next season?
No, they’ve stated they’re phasing out seasonal cosmetic packs like the gratitude one once Rhythm ends
I just wanna check here incase its a bug or not, but does the green light move around? in the two times ive seen it it has been stationary on the beginning hill, yet only spawned after a good 5-10 mins of flying around away from that point
Do we need to wait 37 days
Yes, Ktjn said yesterday that whatever the end thing is for the light quests isn’t complete yet, so they need more time to work on it
guys where is the green light?
I know is in the bird's nest but where?
nevermind I found it, took me a while
yes, #beta-known-issues
you can still collect it iirc, but you wont be able to complete the ark quest
It might happen earlier, but it’s to give TGC enough time to finish everything. If you’re new to beta, this is how things work sometimes. Features may not be final, they may be removed and changed many times. Patience is key. 
We’ve had times when seasons ran in parallel with Live, but lately we only tested for a week or two before release. This time there seems to be a bigger thing in development, though. Exciting!
I hope the boat in the new area will eventually take us to a new area once we’ve returned all the lights to the spirits 😍
Haha the other day the green light appeared right away, no issues. Now I don’t see it at all
it didn't show up when i went today, after flying around for a few minutes waiting for it. i went back again 10-15 minutes later and it was there straight away.
Oof
So it’s still buggy
I left and returned right away and it’s there
I assume a bunch of people already reported it?
i guess so. i don't know if i need to make a bug report though, since it's probably been reported a bunch of times already.
Is it supposed to land and stay there?
i think Ktjn said it's intended to be stuck in the ground (because it's "a gift from the sky to the earth")
i like it, though i wasn't expecting it, because all the other ones stay flying in their set pattern
I thought those clues were just to tell you the location
Would be interesting if it also dictated the path they fly
Oh boy
I wanted to see if I left and came back if it would still crash into the ground
So I didn’t collect it
And now it refuses to show
rip
Been back 5 times and no light
classic beta testing
Morning my Skysapian bros.and sistas
The green light is hard to spot ...
you really have to look for it and if you stand at the ground on the one rock behind the broken tower where the season candle is you should get it
it took a few mins for me too though
Nah I know where it spawns. It just doesn’t always spawn
I got it to show like 2/10 times this morning
okay...yeah I was wondering when I was waiting this morning....
The two times it did show, I didn’t have to look at all. It was right there in the same spot I expected it to be in.
it showed my first try but I had to fly around for a minute and when I seen it it was flying the opposite direction then it did before...it was coming up from the entrance
I just thought someone said it was fixed. That’s why I’m so confused
I hope they don’t consider that fixed
lol
Oh weird.
There isn’t that much in the area to hide it, tho. So seems unlikely to me that the times it didn’t show I just didn’t look hard enough
True
The few times I’ve seen it, it was right in front of me in the same spot each time
So I assume that’s where it’s supposed to be
oh....that reminds me...has anyone completed the last 2 lights? Mine says come back in 37 days
I think it also spawns when you enter the area and isn’t visible the same way to everyone in the server? Or am I wrong?
I saw people standing where it lands even though it wasn’t appearing at all for me
quests still being polished, so no one can finish those yet
thanks @kindred fossil
app i saw people standing there too. might be they were just waiting for it tho

Like, when I enter the valley on the blue light day, I also see it in the same spot always
So I think there’s a specific path and when you enter, you see it at the start of the path
I want the hippie hair so bad!
maybe it moves to sync with everyone else once you get swapped into an instance with other players
I wasted my candles on the other one first and the cape
But if people are seeing the green light further from the landing spot than I am, maybe my whole theory is wrong
Should test it one day with a friend
Join them and see if the light is in the same place for both of us
yeah plus when I seen it ...it was flying from the entrance and around to the left instead of coming the other way
I lost so many candles it hurts to think about it
When they reshuffled everything, the things I paid for became free.
So I have to buy those nodes again.
The mushrooms let me pick 3 this morning
Seasonal?
it let me pick one twice
Aren’t those regular candles?
yeah
no they give regular candles right?
no they're regular
i wonder if the mushrooms are planned to be a new type of dark plant
i like them
calm down now!
It seems like a gift for OOBers?
yeah they are kind of right on the edge
maybe, but i don't know if they'd let OOBers get an advantage like that
i don't think they'll be oob if they go to live
But they seem like they’re meant to be hard to get to
Man I cant find my way to Oreo to save my life...I kept getting stuck under the cave and trapped
Based on the fact that they give whole candles and the message
what's the message?
scavenger hunt type of thing
I never seen a message
you found a mushroom!
oh yeah
A whole candle is pretty generous tho
So it makes me think they’re not gonna make it too easy to get to
ESPECIALLY IN BETA!
like we keep saying, it's subject to change since it's in beta
I use my fire...and after the 5th wing flap start grabbing
I introduced a new friend to the shrooms earlier this morning and he was so happy it was cute!
I absolutely love the new area in color!
Did y'all see the catapult under the blue water around the quest spirit...?
I wonder if they are going to uncover it?
Yup! I thought maybe it could be a crow’s nest tho. Why is there a catapult on a ship?
oh theres one on the ship too?
I mean....didn’t it fall off the ark?
to catapult crabs at krill!


and enemy ships!
or just because our spirits need a thrill!
I can't wait to replay this season in Live!
Twice hopefully!
I'm thinking they are going to open droid live with this season!
I'm hoping!
You’re gonna start a new account on Android?
well yes, android is releasing sometime this month
yeah
Dang
But I mean if you already have the game on iOS
Spidey said she’s gonna play it twice on live
oh yeah! why not! 3 times the fun!
Hand holding quests stress are over for me and a friend!
I'd have a beta in ios too if I can get in!
Haha

just how many devices do you own
my phone and my tablet
i just imagine them all stacked up on your arms full hacker style
actually I have 2 phones 2 tablets one is ipad and one is droid
but those are old and I dont use them...one is an s6 and the tab is galaxy tab E
I really want another windows computer
mine is caput!
HTC 300 dollar junk
My dad has even given me his extra laptop he had lying around and the second I turned it on it broke
hard drive went up after like a year
I’m cursed
oh darn....
Spent over $1000 on my current laptop and it’s still a mess
Had to have it fixed once already and it’s still a mess
I’m that guy from Good Omens
my first HTC was 1200 plus tax and it didnt go up but started acting goofy after 2 yrs...but I also kept burning the keyboard up with cigarettes ....falling asleep on it
thank God I dont do that anymore...I dont smoke sitting down
You fall asleep with cigarettes in your mouth? I hope you haven’t burned down any homes. 😳
how I collect the green light?
You go to prairie bird nest, on the first island go down and left. Then you have to wait until the light comes ^^
wow ty
Np
ANOTHER UPDATE IN GOOGLE PLAY STORE
@silver torrent please don’t talk about beta content in #general-sky-discussion
e
hey so umm.. i've heard that it's not out on android but my friend can play it?
nevermind, got the answer, basically it's limitedly out for singapore and japan and my friend is in singapore xd
Can’t find cyan light to save my life.......... anyone?
cyan light is right at the end of isle of dawn 
you can get there easily by going into prairie then walking backwards into the previous area
The ark quests are back?
Love the fix in Wasteland
Joshur, I know your icon is the seasonal hat, but it also looks a bit like Lisa from Gravity Rush 2. 
@spark lance what was the fix? is it just the windwall?
in wasteland now, i notice 2 things:
- a white light in the battlefield, presumably placeholder (?)
- a spirit-quest light
has persisted, taking me thru the end gate and hanging in the air in the corridor between WL & Vault. is that a bug? or is it a new feature?
I’m really gonna miss the ice rink 
omg me too
i wish they would make a seasonal rotation of that mechanic...
skateboard for spring
surf/boogie boards for summer
skates or blades for fall
WATERPARK for fall 😳 just bodyboarding, tubing, and slides 🥰
The krill too
no more looking at it passing through walls like a magician
But it still aggressive as before
kikik8, it seems like the spirit quest light
is replacing the the temple symbols we used to see when we called, that guide you towards the end of the level
