#

Yeah but it doesn’t help to flood this channel with questions

scenic cliff
#

I accidentally posted in the live looking for group once when I first joined beta. Accidents happen too

random gull
#

Ktjn just told someone to get a child of light role to access the rest of the server so some of them might be getting a beta child role but not child of light role?

exotic atlas
#

Oh wait both of them only have the beta role and not the Child of Light role, so they probably can't see the #questions-and-help channel

scenic cliff
#

Ahh that would do it

exotic atlas
crisp plinth
#

@spark lance react to the 🕯️ in #rules to gain access to the rest of the server

blazing sail
#

Isn’t there a way for the bot to just tag people when they join and tell them to do that?

spark lance
#

Oh ok thank you

#

And sorry

blazing sail
#

No worries

#

Was just noticing that the last two hours were questions unrelated to beta

vapid briar
#

it's important to meet folks with kindness and herd them to channels that might be tailored to their needs, but there's no reason to make someone feel bad for asking a question in the wrong channel.

analog gorge
#

where is the orange and green light?

exotic atlas
#

orange light is in the last area before the temple in forest with the bridges and jellyfish. it's off to the left of that area where the star in the treehouse(?) looking thing is

#

the green light is in the birdsnest area of prairie

blazing sail
#

Sorry, didn’t mean to be rude. Was just wondering out loud why so many people were using the beta channel for non-beta stuff.

forest violet
#

If someone doesn’t mind, id love to see some photos of the new spirits! I don’t have access to beta and it’s be great to see what the cosmetics look like before I preorder

dry pivot
#

or i can dm you some if you want to avoid non cosmetic spoilers

austere merlin
#

The problem with asking questions in the questions channel is that the question might be forgottten if the channel is scrolling too fast/multiple convos are going on at once

vapid briar
#

It's bound to get a little wild around here, we've had almost 10k new members in the last 10 days.

neon dragon
#

Anyone knows where the beta season candles are today?

sand dawn
#

Lol.. and here I was worried sky might be losing players to other games cough animal crossing cough ...guess Android release more than makes up for any loss

neon dragon
#

I searched for the word candles on here but obviously its giving me all sorts except the beta season candles location

random gull
#

@neon dragon give me a min to finish helping my friend in prairie and I'll go get screenshots

sand dawn
#

Oh, uhh forest I think..

neon dragon
#

I thought it would be where the orange light is

#

But can't see them

sand dawn
#

Yeah, they are a bit hard to find

neon dragon
#

🤯

sand dawn
#

One in the house where the cutscene triggers as you enter

#

One in the pipes before that

#

One in the first tower

#

Eh.. last one.. forgot

#

House next to the stuck manta when you enter from tree house map

#

I think

neon dragon
#

Ok I got three!

#

That fourth one though 😬

#

Where are you candle lol

#

🕯

#

What's the tree house map?

#

Found it pheww

#

😰

round frost
#

i dont know if i could ask this, or where, but any chance someone with a beta or founders cape take me to get one? 👀 i really would like to get one but i dont know anyone who has one

#

and yes, i do realize and am willing to actually get the cape, knowing what i have to do. so i wont bail out suddenly kek

random gull

#

i didn't know, i wanted to make sure it was okay to talk about it first lol

Wait again? :0

woeful lodge
#

Yep. Now it will just be 30 minutes or so until any of us had it downloaded 🤣

#

The Play Fight emote crept into live.

sly current
#

Better have given the vault spirits their head pieces back 👊😤

empty river
#

Aww the lost them? Didn’t even notice stickerGloomy

near locust
#

I’m hoping it will revert a change that genuinely distresses me.

woeful lodge
#

?

#

@near locust what’s that?

near locust
#

Entry to GW changed so that you can no longer land under control. I realize it’s just a response to some personal losses I’ve suffered over the last couple of days, but I just can’t seem to handle landing face down in the sand.

woeful lodge
#

Oh yeah except I haven’t been landing in the sand

#

It keeps planting me on top of the monolith

near locust
#

I’d deal with that. Maybe I should stop trying the old technique.

#

I’m really struggling with it. I’ve considered stepping away from the game for a bit despite loving the new beta content.

hollow compass
#

Didn’t they change it so you now are able to not face plant?

woeful lodge
#

It’s actually kinda weird because it throws me straight down then at the last moment it’s like there’s a weird ooberpowerful wind sheer upward and my skykids curves up

#

I can’t faceplant but he can’t avoid it

hollow compass
#

Yes, exactly

#

The upwind sends me flying and then I just continue by using the normal means.

near locust
#

Pulling hard to the left used to allow you to land under control

#

Now it face plants you

hollow compass
#

Don’t do that, then?

near locust
#

I guess I’ll try just not doing anything

woeful lodge
#

Used to be that there was a technique that you could learn. I never consistently got it

hollow compass
#

Yes, there is a new upwind in the...third (?) angle part.

woeful lodge
#

Yeah

hollow compass
#

The old way was very inconsistent.

near locust
#

Ok. I’ll try landing without input. I used to be able to stick the landing pretty much every time. You had to pull hard left at the 2nd scene.

woeful lodge
#

Some day we will convince them that camera and control steals are basically the worst

near locust
#

They are upsetting. It’s a matter of player agency.

woeful lodge
#

Not just agency

#

The plant in the forest temple

hollow compass
#

The plant has a forced camera...oh, if someone actives the cut scene.

woeful lodge
#

I’ll be 3/4 done and someone lights the temple beacon in forest temple and it camera steals to look at the altar and the plant grows back before I can see

#

🤬

hollow compass
#

🤦‍♀️

near locust
#

Oh right yes. That’s what I mean. You dont get to control your avatar.

woeful lodge
#

I’ll be honest I’m really glad that there’s less than half a candle worth of light

hollow compass
#

Prairie village and the mantas...

woeful lodge
#

Half a candle worth of light in Isle of Dawn

near locust
#

Yes those creepy critters abduct people against their will all the time

#

It’s illegal in real life for a reason

woeful lodge
#

I really don’t like the changes to Isle of Dawn

#

So many more control steals

near locust
#

I guess there’s a lesson to be learned from “you don’t get to have control of your character all the time” but... right now, I’d like to have an illusion of control in a game I play to relax.

hollow compass
#

Like Peter said before, there is now even less story at the start of the game.

woeful lodge
#

Hmmm I felt like they were making even more certain that the early story got told correctly

#

And it all makes sense for noobs to get a solid walkthrough/tutorial

#

But after completing eden all camera steals and cutscenes really need to be a toggle

#

/toggleable

near locust
#

I agree completely.

hollow compass
#

yes, please toggle

woeful lodge
#

I mean I remember telling my wife about this game back in August. I was getting close to Eden and even then I told her “it’s beautiful and oddly relaxing but I have no idea what the heck I’m doing”

#

There’s more information available in game now than there was back then

#

But still

hollow compass
#

I don't know, having spent a lot of time in the Questions channel lately, my impressions is that a lot of new players don't understand the core value of the game: generosity, kindness, exploration. They are on mad hunts for candles to get cosmetics, they claim to have "finished the game" because they played through all realms, they actually what is the meaning of the game. So something is not being communicated properly.

finite pumice
#

I experienced the adjusted entry to GW this morning. I don't know what this latest update might have done. I expressed my feeling about the fiddling going on with this recently and it wasn't welcomed by TGC. It's interesting to see others with similar opinions. It was mildly annoying before, but now it's just all sorts of broken.

woeful lodge
#

@hollow compass this. For sure.

finite pumice
#

"Chore value", that's an interesting term.

near locust
#

Well... I think it was unintentional, but by not releasing new narrative content, all people really have to do is farm, buy things, rinse repeat.

woeful lodge
#

I mean if you KNOW what all the literature means, I suppose it’s pretty good as a reference, but that defeats the purpose

hollow compass
#

And I should say, some of us oldies have the advantage of having experienced the game in the very early stages, while in close communication with the devs. So maybe we (or I) are just taking some things for granted.

woeful lodge
#

Lol. “Core”

hollow compass
#

oops, typo!

woeful lodge
#

Choir value!

#

Lalalalala

hollow compass
#

<-- me not English, also haven't had morning coffee yet

woeful lodge
#

What’s your native language Ati?

finite pumice
#

I need to take another look at Isle on my current device.

hollow compass
#

are we supposed to reveal personal info here...?

woeful lodge
#

Sorry. Didn’t seem too personal.

hollow compass
#

I am from a small Nordic country

woeful lodge
#

No need to say if you’re uncomfortable.

near locust
#

I know that it’s really a placeholder for feelings I have about real life things being beyond my control... but even knowing that, I find it really distressing when control is wrested away from me, especially when it results in unavoidable harm. Like, I’m just not in a good space to “learn” from that experience. And frankly, at my age, I know all about how control is an illusion.

hollow compass
#

I definitely get that, Adar

woeful lodge
#

Just tried wasteland entrance on my iPad and it seems back to normal?

near locust
#

That would be delightful

#

I’m downloading the update now

woeful lodge
#

Also I like being able to use the home@button while in home to resume

#

They took that away in beta

hollow compass
#

how do you mean?

woeful lodge
#

In live right now, if you are at home, you can use the home button in your emotes menu and it is the same as walking up to the resume journey portal in the water.

hollow compass
#

oh

woeful lodge
#

In beta, when you’re at home the button is greyed out

hollow compass
#

I didn't know that, oops

woeful lodge
#

It was nice being able to resume from anywhere at home

#

I don’t know whether it’s a bug or intentional

hollow compass
#

I remember hearing about this, but never used it

woeful lodge
#

@near locust I can’t break out of the fall

#

On my iPad

near locust
#

Ugh.

#

Thanks for letting me know. Guess I’ll be avoiding GW until I get over myself. Sigh.

woeful lodge
#

Oooh! They sunk the new building in GW

#

The new building on the right hand side is just a roof

Animal crossing 😆

woeful lodge
#

Lol

#

Ah

#

Still haven’t touched it

near locust
#

My kids are obsessed

hollow compass
#

so addictive

near locust
#

...and that’s why I haven’t gotten it. But given that I “literally can’t even” with the most important realm in Sky at the moment, maybe I should look into animal crossing instead

hollow compass
#

it is very happy and cute

near locust
#

That sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

sly current
#

with the adjustments to how to have a friend let you in the dev room, I wonder what are the requirements for the friend part? I’d imagine it’s not just “just met player we can hold hands”.

#

I’d test that but beta is pretty barren

hollow compass
#

isn't it just that you can't skulk around and hitchhike the moment the portal goes up?

sly current
#

Check beta updates

#

They changed it so you can’t do that anymore

#

Too much “leeching” was in live in a sense

hollow compass
#

it says: -changed the matchmaking to the secret area so strangers who glitch past the gate can no longer prey on cyan cape wearers to get into the office without being guided by someone they are freinds with

tired relic
#

i think it's just in that specific area tho, u can still meet players with the founders cape outside the portal area

sly current
#

Yea that’s what you just said

#

The portal will now not open for you if you glitched in and someone else was near the portal

hollow compass
#

so, it has nothing to do with whether you've been friends for ages or not

#

it's just to stop strangers from going in at the same time

sly current
#

No what I’m saying is that for example there’s a requirement for sending hearts.
I’d imagine they thought ahead and you need to meet a requirement with a friend to be eligible to be let in to the portal if someone brought you in.

woeful lodge
#

Im willing to test with you if you’d like.

hollow compass
#

it doesn't say that, though

sly current
#

That’s what I’m asking!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

I want to test to see that!!!!!!

hollow compass
#

ok, breathe

near locust
#

LB just offered

sly current
#

I’ll send em a DM for the we

#

**qr

#

For.. obvious reason

lusty light
#

It’s like how you can’t teleport to people in 8 gate after they activated the elevator

hollow compass
#

but that's not the same mech, is it?

#

the way I understood it, you can be in the same room, but you can't enter unless you're holding a cape owner's hand

lusty light
#

That’s not how the portal works

hollow compass
#

oh

#

then I must have misunderstood

#

I thought you could bring a friend who didn't have the cape with you, as long as you were holding hands. But the new patch prevents a stranger, who is standing by the portal to sneak in while it is being activated.

#

Is that not it?

lusty light
#

People who glitch past the area won’t even get put in the same instance with people who have the cape

hollow compass
#

yes, exactly

#

The whole mechanism of sneaking in has been prevented.

lusty light
#

But you don’t have to be holding hands with them

#

I think it doesn’t apply to ppl just waiting by the gate but I’m not sure

#

The first gate that is

hollow compass
#

So, if I am with a friend whom I have held hands to get past the barrier, I can let go of them and we can both enter once we're close to the portal?

lusty light
#

Yeah

hollow compass
#

Interesting.

#

But I suppose it makes sense. Although, it doesn't contradict what I was saying earlier about strangers.

woeful lodge
#

We did some tests

#

Me and @sly current

#

We had my sons account join us in the vault when we were standing by the gate

#

He didn’t have time to warp to me before he got server clipped

#

Tried again knowing what was going to happen and just barely managed to warp to me

#

But yeah it looks like the game just doesn’t let you stay on a server where someone else is headed in

random gull
#

I'm glad to see that people who sneak in can't be put in the same instance as the cyan capes though. You should make the effort to make friends (friendships being the main focus of the game) with a cyan cape or support TGC monetarily if you want the bonus area. This is a free game with ZERO ads and a ton of content. I don't mind financially supporting that when I can afford to and it's not unfair of them to have exclusive paid content. There really isn't much paid only content and you can still access 90+% of the paid content for free if you're patient and daily candle grind anyways. Also it's super easy to make friends with cyan capes. just go in #looking-for-group-live and ask for an ||office|| uber. also because you put that up while I was typing my paragraph here: thank you for testing that Loony! looks like it's working as intended.

#

also side note: I absolutely 1000000000% love that building friendships is a huge point of this game. I have made so many friends here and my live account constellation can't even hold them all. It's super cool to connect with people all over the world and Sky is so much more relaxed pace than a lot of MMO type games. I'm so happy my friend introduced me to the world of sky stickerHeart

woeful lodge
#

I want to do another test to see what happens if a founder cape is just standing there waiting for people to take across

#

I wonder if they’ll end up on a separate server or whether they’ll be able to befriend randos and take them through.

#

That wasn’t clear from our tests

random gull
#

hmm that probably involves waiting for strangers instead of friends warping to you

woeful lodge
#

Yep. I have a hunch that the founders cape person won’t encounter any random non friends. They’ll get sifted to separate servers

random gull
#

you could wait at the hidden door and it probably wouldn't server swap but further in it will likely prevent strangers from entering with you

#

otherwise it might hurt cyan capes trying to get the 4 player doors further into vault x.x

woeful lodge
#

I also want to try two friends who aren’t holding hands but are just side by side

#

I wonder if it will separate them and when

random gull
#

I wonder if TGC is planning on bringing the cosmetic shrines (idk their official names? those little closet thingies) into vault too for quick change of cyan cape

woeful lodge
#

If the cape is too disruptive they’ve almost gotta

#

It’s already kindof annoying

#

If you want to put it on after GW you have to go home.

#

I wish it were a badge or a pendent or sommat so we could wear regular capes and such.

random gull
#

I tend to warp home between realms when I do a candle run rather than flying through. feels a bit faster to me

woeful lodge
#

Except when there are candles on the other side, like forest.

#

Otherwise I generally ageee

#

But it’s harder and more disruptive when ubering, which I do a lot

random gull
#

you can rocket glitch through there XD not that I encourage it but it's fun to yeet into the clouds

woeful lodge
#

They had a warp wall up there at some point in the recent past

#

Did they get rid of it?

#

(Cross a certain point and get warped back inside)

random gull
#

I've rocketed into the clouds recently without warping. my friend might just be -really- good at timing that rocket though XD

#

I kinda wanna test now and find the warp wall 😮

woeful lodge
#

🤷🏻‍♂️

#

Anyway. Bedtime calls me.

random gull
#

have a good night!

woeful lodge

Good luck.

blazing sail
#

Two colored light quests today? That can’t be right?

#

Or is it a way to give Cyan some action?

dry pivot
#

may be it is!

#

it's nice to see the cyan light again

blazing sail
#

The big candle bunches are in prairie, so maybe that’s why it’s there today?

worn field
#

i hope it’s right

#

i really like catch the light quests

dry pivot
#

yeah and it is not a chore to get the cyan one, once we know where it is

blazing sail
#

Yup

#

and it’s pretty

blazing sail
#

Wait umm

#

They moved the cyan light?

#

Oh nvm

worn field
#

i basically had the same reaction haha

#

it's fun gliding around that area so i like it

blazing sail
#

Disappointed the valley candles are still in old places

worn field
#

you and your candle bunches

#

maybe they'll be in citadel in the season after this one stickerItsOk

blazing sail
#

The balls of light are so much nicer now

#

Haha noooo

#

They just need to be under the ice

blazing sail
#

Although that’s true we’ve never had them in the citadel, have we?

timber ridge
#

All seasonal candles in the last krill area in Eden

finite pumice
#

If they were in the citadel you’d consistently fail to get them unless they were nerfed to fly close to a spot you could stand on. Flight in the citadel is one of the worst in the entire game. After they nerfed flight and the controls all sorts of wind walls and updrafts were added to allow you to just ride air currents up to the top. Those constantly interfere with flight here making quests painful and not-fun.

worn field
#

i know you prefer the old flight system, but i've never been bothered flying around in citadel, i love it there. i never experienced the old flight controls though.

empty inlet
minor robin
#

I love citadel flight... It's fun to switch between glide and hover for precision landing. Birds nest has funkier wind currents and I love it too. It's a fun challenge

#

If everything was just dead air... This game would be slow and unrealistic tbh.

empty inlet
#

i bet seldom would say work from home is a fun challenge tho

#

i’m open for challenges, but well organized ones. if there’s no way i can adjust myself to land on where i want, when i’m just a bit off from it, i don’t like it

#

take citadel for example, if i’m going down too fast (which is also hard to control) and i’m a bit below a platform and i still wanna land on it, either i hit on the wall and bet i would jump on it, or awkwardly switch to floating mode and fly up as least as i can but still make myself farther away from it and need seconds to descend

#

if you’ve ever tried to burn down a whole branch of the huge darkness you’ll probably agree even the floating mode is hard to control. the repealing force from the darkness is not a fun challenge in my opinion, it’s a huge trouble

blazing sail
#

The thing I hate the most is when you’re aiming for a platform or hole and instead hit a wall and bounce in the opposite direction

#

Why does it dooooooo that

empty inlet
#

exactly! it’s hard to know which one will happen

blazing sail
#

You should just hit the wall and then be able to correct it. Why does it send you off in another direction?

obsidian dust
#

I find it mildly annoying lol... except if I'm in a place like the cave in Prairie. The available light sources are pretty slow to recharge the cape.

blazing sail
#

I hate it

obsidian dust
#

That light in the hole there ticks me off if I start dropping altitude and bounce off the wall after missing the ledge by a few inches

blazing sail
#

I’m like just happily flying along and hit the ledge slightly off and now I have to circle around again

obsidian dust
#

I have been playing a lot of flying games with dogfighting so I'm pretty used to circling back, but then I already depleted my flight power. As long as a strong light source is nearby or get to maintain flight power like in Citadel, I'm fine with it lol

#

Hi

#

If I take pre-order and give real money per season, when will the new season officially launch, do I have to buy it again?

kindred fossil
#

yes

#

ow wait

rigid radish
#

Ok

kindred fossil
#

are you asking if passes are a one-time purchase?

rigid radish
#

I mean, if I buy now pre-order when the new official season will be launched, I have to buy it again?

#

No if you pre-order the pass you'll have it when the next season starts

But you'd have to buy a new one for the season after

did someone already note that they removed the new wasteland building from 0.9.0? just noticed
@vale shale it’s still there, it’s just sunken.

Was it like that in Live? The building is in Live now.

i don't remember to be honest

Yeah I find myself questioning how much of that was there before. I know the building was new, but now that it’s sunken in beta... I feel like the sunken version looks familiar...

#

why is the beta still available to be played if the official game has already been released? do you intend to close it?

because sky is still in active development, so there's always new things to test

Hey did anyone actually got the invisible cape?

#

And is it really 999 hearts?

worn field
#

it is really 999 hearts. it's just a beta-only easter egg though. there aren't any plans to add it to the regular game any time soon.

#

i don't know if anyone has unlocked it yet

west musk
#

Oh really? I thought it was soon coming to live version after some beta testers will have tried it

worn field
#

even if it's been tested, it might never make it's way to live

#

some stuff in beta has been there for months

spark lance
#

Some of my friends in live got the capeless option

#

Apparently it was accessible at the end of Eden

#

As a glitch.

sounds like a bug, yes

west musk
#

Do you think the rankings of the friends menu will stay as a beta thing?

worn field
#

probably. but you never know

west musk
#

Well you can become capeless by just loosing all wings on purpose

worn field
#

yeah.

#

there's capeless, and there's the no-cape item. they look similar but they're quite different

#

if you're capeless you can't fly at all, but with the no-cape item you can.

west musk
#

Yeah I really wonder how it works though

worn field
#

it basically functions like an invisible cape, to my knowledge

west musk
#

So you still see the stars on the back and stuff?

worn field
#

it looks really wonky because your skykid just flaps their arms

#

i don't think so

west musk
#

I see hope someone will upload a video of it I'm curious

I was thinking that instead of flapping their arms, they’ll hover and spin like peter pan functions

#

Wait so the changes inside the ark come with the ark quests, too.

spark lance
#

question: do changes to the ark appear different for each player? like if one player brings a brand new friend there, will the new player see that ark in it's first stage or whatever stage the other player is at

#

It is based on each player's progression. Yes it does appear different.

It's based on what language you have your device set to.

feral anvil
#

Hello KtjnSkyBow Will there be any limit set to number of candles player can earn from collecting mushroom in Forgotten Ark?

vapid briar
#

It's a bug and if you're able to endlessly farm candles from it, it's an exploit. I'd recommend not gathering any more. We'll probably have this fixed and removed in the next build.

dark quail
#

...You can get candles from mushrooms?

dry pivot
#

Yeah, but afik up to one candle per day from each mushroom. They will reappear when you re-enter the ark, your candle won't increase when you pick them again.
I know this because I did try that once in beta, when I leant about the mushrooms

#

sry!

not intentionally, they're leftover from a designer testing a concept.

#

Glitching into the new area in Live just feels a bit disrespectful to TGC, who put in a lot of work to create it as a surprise with the new season. If you did somehow manage to glitch in, why spread the word and have everyone and his aunt try to get in as well?

feral anvil
#

The mushroom should fix asap because with the glitch to forgotten ark, there are already a bunch of players gathering there for free candles and winged lights.

dry pivot
#

@hollow compass Hi I did some investigation on the off-key music sheet bug you mentioned the other day. The bug is still unclear but I found the walkaround: Go to any area with a background music (like forest social) and play the music sheet there, or start playing the sheet before the home music ends. I already reported what I could find but thought you might be interested.

hollow compass
#

@dry pivot oooh, thanks! I also tried it on the boat to new area in Wasteland and then it sounded great. So it could be related to the area you're in.

spark lance
#

Live sounds chaotic

#

I believe tgc will get the patches soon enough in next update

dry pivot
#

@hollow compass Yeah it seems to happen in areas with no background music or with a short background music (like Home). Hope they'll identify the cause and fix it

there's not that many new ones at the moment, though

I often answer like that whoever asking me that in the game..

hollow compass

it's ok, I was just curious since this is beta channel and we should be able to discuss most things openly here

analog gorge

that is reasonable

I'm always careful in the other areas of the server

it's kind of the nature of beta, imho

Yes, i did that too to hide myself being distracted by other players when i am practicing songs

hollow compass

but how? 👀

spark lance

It's a bug tbh, crouching stand.. A lot players glitched their way in OOBs like that

And, new players in beta most of them got into the server out of ToS. Try play in beta and you understand what I mean.

I know, I play beta.

Whether or not it’s disrespectful to the devs everyone is excited for the new area/season. Nearly all of the live players sharing ark content have never seen it before. Us beta players can sit back and say “Why do you guys have to spread it around so much? It’s not right” when we’ve had the content for a little while now and our initial excitement has faded. Most of us are happy for the ark/season but we’re not the same level of excited as the day the ark update released. Live players are excited because they’ve never seen it before. Let them have that excitement and just tone it down where it needs to be, like if they’re posting in every live channel. Side-eyeing live players when you come from bias as a beta player isn’t going to do anything other then make people think you’re rude.

kindred fossil
#

so far i havent seen anyone trying to shut down live players in the beta channels

#

besides, most live players made it there by accident

dry pivot
#

I still can remember how I felt when I first visited the new area by boat, so I feel bad for them never being able to experience that.
And especially feel really really bad for those who went there unexpectedly, by warping to a friend to do 4-ppl handholding quest

worn field
#

yep, i logged in today and a friend warped home, said "warp to me", then return-shrined

kindred fossil
#

oof

slate oar
#

It isn’t just for here. It’s for beta players in general. I have beta friends who’ve been expressing their annoyance at people excitement for the ark glitch in live. There’s offhanded comments I’ve seen on here every so often today, even one some messages up a bunch of people reacted to like “100%” and prompted me make the post. I’m disappointed I see some long-term beta players making comments that don’t seem to see past their own bias of having the content weeks in advance.

worn field
#

i understand where you're coming from sidra

dry pivot
#

non-beta people are also upset about the glitch tho

worn field
#

i hope we all try to remember our most important server rule, being respectful to others

kindred fossil
#

not upset, but id rather wait for the b o a t stickerShiny

dry pivot

actually i think most of us beta players don't actually care because we have already been

#

spoilered

slate oar
#

I’ve only seen live players upset it got spoiled for them when they warped to a friend.

worn field
#

in the mean-time, it is true that the more attention we draw to it, the more it'll spread tho, so it may be best to let it go

#

the only people who really have the tools to deal with this are TGC

dry pivot
#

@kindred fossil yeah you shouldTGCThumbsUp it really worth waiting

slate oar
#

That’s what I’m saying. I’ve been seeing beta players make comments about how disrespectful it is to the devs and whatnot. Maybe true but you’ve had a long time to digest the new content. Live players haven’t. I’m sure if a similar situation happened in beta almost every beta player would be asking how to get there.

kindred fossil
#

just like ye olden beta

blazing sail
#

I hope they can figure out how to avoid this in the future, bc it really is nice getting a whole new area for a new season.

#

I don’t want them to not do it bc they can’t stop people from glitching in ahead of time

dry pivot
#

i fear that might happenpCry

blazing sail
#

Also, I 100% thought that the ark was similar to the office, and that the boat is just a portal to get there.

#

I guess not

worn field
#

i think TGC must know about it by now and are deciding how to act on it. they've been silent about it though, so i think we should too. discussing it (publicly) only draws more attention to it.

random gull
#

people probably went out of bounds to arrive there. there's a massive out of bounds area between valley and wasteland I've found

blazing sail
#

Right but I don’t think anyone has figured out how to find the office by going OOB, so maybe they could have done something similar?

random gull
#

possibly 😮

#

I know they just made it so that the instance merging in office won't put cyan capes with people just waiting there

blazing sail
#

I mean, just like I don’t think you can OOB your way from Home to any of the kingdoms. Or can you?

random gull
#

not from home anyways

blazing sail
#

Usually you can’t OOB somewhere that’s accessed through a portal

random gull
#

the oob I know of between wasteland and valley you have to reach through valley's temple

blazing sail
#

Right but Valley and Wasteland are connected

random gull
#

is that cloud area between not a portal?

#

been a while since I've actually flown between instead of warping home XD

blazing sail
#

It’s been a while since I did it but don’t you go straight through?

random gull
#

I don't remember D:

blazing sail
#

Anyway, there’s probably a reason it is the way it is. But maybe if they want to avoid stuff like this in the future they have to use a portal the same way as the office

#

Bc some people are just really good at breaking things

random gull
#

yeah I'm with a group of chinese players right now who glitched through the ground to see ||oreo|| without actually summoning from the candles XD

#

I may have also intentionally made a manta glitch to see if I could so it

#

I mostly keep my game breaking behaviors to beta since it is a test ground XD

blazing sail

I accidentally broke the manta in Eden by trying to ride it

It folded in on itself

#

hollow compass
#

@slate oar the whole point of beta is that what we test here stays in beta until it is released to Live. It’s not about side-eyeing someone’s joy at finding a new area. It’s about respecting the creative process.

#

Besides, it does ruin the whole surprise effect of the new season if everyone already knows where it takes place. If Live players want to spoil themselves they can lurk here and see our updates.

feral anvil
#

Usually you can’t OOB somewhere that’s accessed through a portal
@blazing sail
Saddly to say I've seen comment in other beta discussion group said 'Player modified data and turn the boat from GW to FA active', more details are not mentioned though, it is only a statement.

random gull
#

so they hacked the game. which is veeeeerrrryyy much against TOS and quite different from the people taking advantage of glitches already in the game.

#

big yikes if hackers

finite pumice
#

Reading back through all this, tbh, I'm surprised that TGC put an update out there that actually contains the ARK area in it. The had to know that some people would glitch/hack their way in, especially when they've just opened up the game in Live to Android where (I'm guessing) most of the hacking is occurring. Given that the next season is obviously far from complete (I'm basing that mostly on the 29 days till the next light event), it's very surprising to me that the content that is considered done has been put at risk in Live the way it has. It may just be expediency due to the current compromised position the devs are in. It's just a shame because now they have to lose time to whack-a-mole instead of polishing and making the next season as wonderful as they want it to be.

random gull
#

according to the last update notes, it was in preparation for the release of the new season which is this month. It was probably necessary to put the area in before the actual release (likely to make sure it didn't crash the game or cause critical bugs)

hollow compass
#

Yes, I think they’ve done similar things before, such as for Belonging n

#

A lot of things in this game relies on an unwritten player code of conduct, such as not spoiling certain endgame events or Easter eggs.

kindred fossil
#

i may or may have not made it into the ark by accident SkyScared

random gull
#

teleporting to a friend (probably because you wanted to hang out or get 4 player quest) isn't bad though.'

kindred fossil
#

i know, haha

#

but, how more people are going in there is by leaving their checkpoint at the ark

#

so it keeps branching into other friend groups

#

so the method i figured out isnt how they actually got there, it mustve been through hacking

My game is super laggy now

Maybe it’s because I visited that area?

I think maybe the changes to the ark in beta are related to the ark quests? I think they added changes inside the ark to make it more impressive

Maybe?

I thought of that too

blazing sail

I hope so, at least

#

It makes sense

Especially if we eventually watch it fly off

I’m wondering if a YouTuber started this

blazing sail
#

Also, I didn’t see it personally, but people posted photos of lots of shelves in the ark and then it was removed in the next update

Awhhhh

So maybe they decided that change was for one of the last two nodes that we haven’t seen yet?

That’s good. I hope TGC won’t change the whole area because some players saw it

They’re the best company

blazing sail
#

With Belonging, they only tested for like a week before it went to live

#

I think they figure they can keep working on the later parts of the season while it’s live

#

The new areas that were added in belonging got changed even after their spirits came to live

vapid drum
#

If we are to believe the new seasonal quest giver in live , then the season is about to start in 8 days

left sparrow
#

Belonging was a huge change

#

And maybe they will bring the area before the season

#

I think that happed with Belonging

vapid drum
#

I think they needed to bring the update with the new area to live version cause this particular update contained the pre order seasonal pass

It lines up with the first update we got in beta

LMAO CATAPULTING THE QG

celest yarrow
#

they stay put when you try to sling them

#

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO GRANNY! It all makes sense now!

dry pivot
#

OMG

late nymph
#

OMG

dry pivot
#

YOU ARE RIGHT SPIDEY

#

granny was catapulted and had to swim all the way back to the home island

celest yarrow
#

They catapulted her but didnt have enough power behind it and she got stuck at sea!

dry pivot
#

she wasn't on vacation, she was swimming for days

celest yarrow
#

lmao!

late nymph
#

Lol iron man vibes

celest yarrow
#

poor GrannystickerPlease

dry pivot
#

she was strong

celest yarrow
late nymph
#

Granny was a survivor... A man of strength and perseverance

dry pivot
#

I miss her a lot

celest yarrow
#

"Granny" was a man?

late nymph
#

Yes

celest yarrow
#

🤣

late nymph
#

Xd

dry pivot
#

actually we don't really know her true gender

celest yarrow
#

nice save!

dry pivot
#

or whether they have gender

late nymph
#

They wear wigs

celest yarrow
#

welp I gotta split...finishing dailies and candles then start on Easter dinner!

late nymph
#

And possibly a golem

dry pivot
#

she's someone who looks like a grandma to human eyes

celest yarrow
#

nice chatying!

kindred fossil
#

only belonging's QG was canonically granny, the others are whatever you want

late nymph
#

Or the boats are possibly from the world of journey

dry pivot
#

i am now calling all QGs grandma but I thought that was just me (and my sis)

kindred fossil
#

lol

dry pivot
#

you know, they give us treats every day

kindred fossil
#

i miss the glitch where enchantment QG's model was swapped with rhythm's, he looked like a young prince

dry pivot
#

he does

#

that was a fun glitch tho i like his usual dress better

drowsy nexus
#

Does anyone here know how to get in Forgotten Ark area in Live? I warped to my friend in live today and she was there, I was like omg how are we here!?

kindred fossil
#

friend chain

#

you get into the ark by teleporting to a friend who teleported to a friend who teleported to a friend who teleported to a friend who...

dry pivot
#

yeah she probably warped to her friend

kindred fossil
#

and her friend was teleported to another friend, and so on

drowsy nexus
#

Well yes of course I know that 😅

kindred fossil
#

no one knows

drowsy nexus
#

That's why I'm asking if anyone would know how the first one even got there

kindred fossil
#

either by hacking or complicated glitch methods

drowsy nexus
#

I heard somebody said in this chat, that there was a wall over a mountain in Valley or something that was connected to the Forgotten Ark area

kindred fossil
#

yeah

#

its not worth the hassle though, wait until its live

dry pivot
#

beta players can go there in beta without glitching so I guess no one here knows the way

drowsy nexus
#

OK thank you for answering guys

#

I'm just too excited haha

dry pivot
#

it's better to wait or you won't be as excited as you are now, when the season actually comes

austere merlin
#

So then the loading zone is in valley if that’s true? Well that’s even more odd lol

#

I mean tbf it is version 1

drowsy nexus
#

it's better to wait or you won't be as excited as you are now, when the season actually comes
@dry pivot thank you, but I think I'm gonna go and try glitching everywhere to get there lmao

livid ice
#

Welp

worn field
#

the area’s not even in a finished state. you’ll have a better experience if you wait.

austere merlin
#

imo that makes it more magical but to each their own pEyes :

glass coyote
#

I think the first person to enter the ark cheated

livid ice
#

After TGC did what it did ,about glitching to the office without the cape being not a thing anymore I think no one can outsmart TGC anymore

glass coyote
#

I spent a whole day without finding a way to enter the Ark!

livid ice
#

I don’t believe there’s a way you can get to the new area and if there is TGC already fixed/is fixing it

#

Yep

#

They may have done something to their game

#

@glass coyote react to the candle 🕯 in #rules so you see all available channels to talk and stuff

glass coyote
#

yep

#

Won't people without permission enter the office?

carmine loom
#

You can tp to me

#

to get to ark

#

but i can’t show you

livid ice
#

Without the founders cape or a friend that has it

#

You can’t enter anymore

#

There’s no way of glitching in

glass coyote
#

I hope to find a way to go in by myself or two people, instead of sending friends

carmine loom
#

ahh oki

glass coyote
#

Without the founders cape or a friend that has it
@ dae # 5087 That is very good!

livid ice
#

I suppose (?

glass coyote
#

Very many Chinese people are cheating recently!

#

I don't like this approach

livid ice
#

Hmm,well is fun to glitch inside places not gonna lie

#

And not everyone has 30 dollars for some pixels

#

Everyone has their reasons

glass coyote
#

yep

empty inlet
#

tbh cheating is a too heavy word if they're just glitching in

livid ice
#

Yeah SkyWhew

#

I mean Most players get inside just to get the little extra wax

glass coyote
#

You're right

#

Maybe it should not be said

livid ice
#

Ah don’t worry anyways that’s part of the past now

#

The office is still only a place for players that have paid

#

Or have a friend that did

lusty light
#

Please don’t generalize an entire group of players. People who are getting into the office aren’t hacking and not all of them are Chinese

glass coyote
#

What are the changes to the beta
now

empty inlet
#

yes, try your best to avoid using general terms like Chinese players, Japanese players, American player

glass coyote
#

you're right

#

I should apologize for my words

empty inlet
#

What are the changes to the beta
now
you can read the amazing patch notes written by ktjn in #beta-announcements

austere merlin
#

That also goes for glitchers, not all glitchers have malicious intent

glass coyote
#

A loophole appeared at the end of the track

#

Where you can redeem last season ’s items

#

There is an ancestor

spark lance
#

Awesome

empty inlet
#

i believe tgc is aware of that

glass coyote
#

It has been around for many days

#

I hope tgc can fix it as soon as possible

empty inlet
#

tgc is working on it

spark lance
#

It's alright KiShi. Not all Chinese are bad.

glass coyote
#

Yes

#

I apologize for what I said

#

Sorry!

empty inlet
#

it's ok, let's move on from that

#

Jenova on April 2nd

Thank you all for the report! With your info we identified the issue and will fix this hack. Just like what we did with outfit hacking in the past and size hacking now. Please inform your community, items purchased via this spirit hack will be removed when the fix is implemented

blazing sail
#

That’s in live or beta?

#

I thought they don’t care about that stuff in beta?

#

Oh wait what spirit hack?

glass coyote
#

This phenomenon should be stopped immediately!

#

This is very unfair to players

blazing sail
#

Is he using “hack” to mean “glitch”?

hollow compass
#

I don’t think so.

spark lance
#

Hacking and glitching are entire different process

glass coyote
#

They use modifiers to get unavailable items

blazing sail
#

Ok I thought you were talking about when older seasonal spirits appeared in Orbit

glass coyote
#

This is very bad behavior

muted stirrup
#

hi

#

I can’t wait until forgotten ark

hollow compass
#

Ok

livid ice
#

@muted stirrup soon soon just wait little longer

#

Hi

spark lance
#

Hello

#

Can I ask something

left sparrow
#

Go ahead!

spark lance
#

Umm

#

So I finished playing the game so iam asking what to do next?

#

._.

#

I don't want to delete it coz it's super cool

hollow compass
#

How do you mean you finished it? Beta is a continuous project that gets updates regularly.

left sparrow
#

I think Ken finished all the levels

#

You should keep playing

#

Explore

#

Get cosmetics

#

Make new friends

hollow compass
#

Yes, but beta in particular entails other things also. Although, of course, if you don’t want to test play anymore it’s always ok to leave.

#

I think they left...?

left sparrow
#

Yup...

vapid drum
#

Uhmmmm .....it seems like live and beta are mixing up more and more in this channel🤣

#

Even the beta screenshot channel is filling up with live pics 😑

#

Ill take of my shoes first then

chilly wigeon
#

They said to put stuff about the season in beta channels

round pond
#

Well yeah because stuff ab the season is beta as it is not out yet

#

Which area

#

Ooo

#

Nvm

chilly wigeon
#

What's the point of glitching into it

#

You could just wait

round pond
#

I am in live version yet I see the new temple and the dock

#

But not the boat

hollow compass
#

That’s normal

round pond
#

Ok wow

#

You can’t fly there

vapid drum
#

Beta hasn’t got the temple anymore 😭

chilly wigeon
#

I see the side of the boat if I look at certain angle

round pond
#

It takes you back to the start

vapid drum
#

I thought it was a nice entry point onto the boat

chilly wigeon
#

Can't wait for this event to go live

round pond
#

Yesss me too

chilly wigeon
#

I gotta combine crab call with crab walk

round pond
#

Wow

chilly wigeon
#

But I accidentally deleted my beta account instead of downloading the live version

round pond
#

I didn’t know you could do both

chilly wigeon
#

The crab call is just a call

#

And the walk is emote

round pond
#

No I mean that you can do live And beta

chilly wigeon
#

You just get the 2 apps

round pond
#

Ooh

#

Which app is beta isn’t it test flight

hollow compass
#

It is

austere merlin
#

I mean don’t look down on people who glitch and “break the rules”
It’s just something they like to do, there’s nothing wrong with it

#

At least in my opinion lol

kindred fossil
#

glitching isnt looked down upon generally, as long as its not game breaking

chilly wigeon
#

You still should not be in the ark

#

If you're in live

#

Other glitching is fine as long as your not somewhere your not supposed to be

#

Like the ark

#

And you don't spoil people

dire compass
#

Wait what is the ark?

worn field
#

it's a new area that's being officially released when the next season starts. currently still being tested.

austere merlin
#

How many days are left for the season in beta currently?

empty river
#

42

austere merlin
#

Mm

#

See the quest giver in like says ||8 days ||

#

So I was just curious

worn field
#

the "8 days" is an estimate

#

the season won't start before it's ready

austere merlin
#

Ah 👍

quick oriole
#

With all the discussion about the new area, all the opinions and everything being put out in the last day, I think this is a nice learning experience. Has been for me at least SkyPray stickerHeart

narrow valley

shrugs in chat
me, 2 seconds later: wait that's a spoiler

cosmic star
#

I have a question about something in beta. I reported it several times, but only got generic bot responses that didn’t address the issue. Who do I talk to about this?

worn field
#

you ask us

cosmic star
#

👌

#

Well... I’ve completed 2 spirits and both have a heart ♥️ as the top node. Shouldn’t I have 2 hearts now?

worn field
#

i believe those give 'seasonal hearts'

#

they're different from regular hearts

#

you can use them to unlock ultimate gifts from the quest giver

kindred fossil
#

werent spirit trees reshuffled and that caused some issues

cosmic star
#

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. I should have 2 seasonal hearts for completion of 2 s3asonal spirits?

kindred fossil
#

are you asking how to use seasonal hearts, or where they went to

worn field
#

you should

empty river
#

did you buy them?

worn field
#

some people did have a bug where all there seasonal currency got converted to regular currency (as if the season had ended, even though it hadn't)
maybe that happened to you?

cosmic star
#

I gave the right amount of candles but I still only have one seasonal candle 🕯 not 2 seasonal candles 🕯 🕯

worn field
#

i thought it was seasonal hearts that you're missing. are you missing seasonal candles too?

kindred fossil
#

this is beta and things go bork

cosmic star
#

Sorry... my flub...🤪

#

Migraines this week so I’ve been going bork! 🤯🤮🤪

kindred fossil
#

in beta, it did, for testing

#

sorry to hear that rae, feel better soon

worn field
#

season hasn't started in the regular game yet

kindred fossil
#

you pre-order from the shop

cosmic star
#

Thank you

kindred fossil
#

thats the questgiver

#

...did you get into a chain SkyFaint

worn field
#

Levi, sounds like you stumbled into a place that is not meant to be accessible yet

kindred fossil
#

season is not live, and youre not supposed to be at the ark either

#

run while you still can

worn field
#

🏃

cosmic star
#

How do I get somebody to notice me and get back my missing heart? 3 messages in game, 3 emails from the app and 2 from helpshift.com—you think someone would have noticed a little midget sky girl by now!

empty river
#

when did you send them tho?

crisp plinth
#

Also, when did you get these seasonal hearts? I was able to get a seasonal heart on the first day of the season, but it converted into a regular heart because of a bug

cosmic star
#

Everyday for the last week

empty river
#

well tgc is working from home, so it might take longer to get an answer. And yea it could be what mini said too ^^

cosmic star
#

Each one got a bot response telling me to go to the update pages or FAQ

#

I know... hate this virus 🤜🏼🦠🤛🏼

small kindle
#

Does anyone know how many stars the new area is adding so far? I’ve made a map of the arc area and jotted two stars, unsure if there’s more?

crisp plinth
#

Just the two afaik

#

I thoroughly explored the crab emote maze, didn't see anything

small kindle
#

Ahh good, I’m not updating my map officially until the update is released,

#

The maze isn’t that big when I mapped it, just looks big XD

crisp plinth
#

ikr, I was by myself there so the only way I knew where I was were the crabs I had knocked down already 😆

small kindle
#

Can I send you the wip? It’s meant to be a very simplified map, wanna make sure it’s accurate(ish)

neon dragon
#

where can I catch the red light please?

worn field
#

in the new area

#

at the very back

neon dragon
#

oh sweet easy!

#

I lost so many wings today in Sky live trying to help new players 😦

mortal jackal
#

Lets summon the dog oreo

neon dragon
#

so wasn't looking forward to catching a red light in the middle of a krills nest

mortal jackal
#

We’re waiting at the summoning

neon dragon
full tusk
#

when this season comes out to live

#

all i want are the masks

#

so i can match a mask to my lightseekers crab call cape and my umbrella so i look like a mary poppins ninja

quick oriole
#

Or Mary Poppins when flying in the sky gets a little chilly SkyLOL

full tusk
#

😂

austere merlin
#

So when the ark does come to live where would the glitched screenshots go? The beta channel or the live one?

tardy dove
#

in the past we asked people just to spoiler tag new areas for maybe about a week?

#

just in case anyone was looking to explore for themselves

austere merlin
#

Mm, sounds good 👍

woeful veldt
#

Guys question

#

Does beta still keep going for new seasons?

#

And if so does testing keep opening up to explore for new bugs?

quick oriole
#

Also yes, new things to test means possibly new bugs

dire compass
#

What’s the ultimate gift in the new season?

neon dragon
#

Beta is so quiet right now, anyone playing in sky beta and willing to help me hold hands with them and two other players?

Hey, is there a way to join the beta? Or is it full?

carmine loom
#

So there has been people going around about a glitch on live that goes to Ark

vale shale
#

no word from tgc yet?

random gull
#

not that I've seen yet. It's possible they're leaving it be because the season is coming out some time in April so within the next two weeks
