Like water in prairie, must be pure
eg. achievement
Oh yeah those koi ponds don’t hurt you either
the standing water in forest doesn't cause damage, it's the actively falling water.
@blazing sail yeah that's what I'm wondering (game mechanics aside)
What does that tell us about story
is there a lore-reason for the rain hurting us but the standing water being ok?
OK I'm going to write this up and put it in its proper place
@worn field not that I know of yet, hence I need to write up
rain is cold
i was hoping Ktjn would answer
still water is not cold
to my knowledge tgc has never given us an answer
Ice is cold
@empty inlet frozen water is 
it seems like we're not gonna convince app to let go of underwater candles.
maybe it’s picking up polluted water from wasteland and raining it down on us in forest. water cycle yo
and bang the magic mother of earth cleans it
But the rain is collected in the river sooooo
We have those flying candles oob in valley, I'm OK with that
water in the forest rivers dilutes it and yes. magic bells prufiy and stop rain and idk lol
Flying candles?
best idea ever
Wyiott lore channel would go bonkers over that theory 
so many things don’t make real-world logical sense, be bending your braincell into a pretzel trying to comprehend it all with real world logic
I’m really curious to see how the arc is going to look fully cleansed tho 
wait till they hear my pineapple-pizza-war-at-battlefield theory
kidding
I’m calling it tho: one of the ark spirits is the spirit of YEET and resurrects that submerged catapult
They should hide the candles in the office fridge!
pineapple-pizza deathmatching mode
people are assuming the ark is gonna wake up, but maybe the last spirit will use the catapult to break it lol
and that catapult will help us reach the back area of ark map without using so many wedges/hiking 
@blazing sail I tagged you in beta pics for the oob flying candles #beta-screenshots-videos
that’s why they gave us so little recharge lamps in the beginning, catapult yeet
But the magic is flying over the fully recovered ark tho 
tru tru 
Oh weird. Didn’t know about those
i guess app wants the moving-flying candles
I keep hoping there will some day be an ingame reason to get shot out of a cannon on purpose
maybe a new race in valley 
I want candles on the vault’s floating debris
Season that utilizes the catapult? Yes please
season of trebuchet
we have flying race, sliding race, what's next? swimming race?
@blazing sail yeah they are in live too, and normally get prelit, it's a nice bit of farm and a nice flying challenge
Old candles OP 
pure ice race. let us slide at insane speeds and encourage sky-kid endangerment
@empty inlet noob modes turtle races lol
ᴴᵉʸ ᵃ ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ ˡᵃᵗᵉ ᵇᵘᵗ ᵖˡᵉᵃˢᵉ ᵈᵒⁿ’ᵗ ᵃˢˢᵘᵐᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵈᵉᵛˢ ᶜᵃⁿ ᵒʳ ʷᶦˡˡ ᵗᵉˡˡ ʸᵒᵘ ˡᵒʳᵉ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ᵍᵃᵐᵉ
pure ice race. let us slide at insane speeds and encourage sky-kid endangerment
even the 10-winged kids would die once they hit somewhere in the race
even bigger brain: ice ramp naturally sends you flying thru a fly/boost gate and you land on an ice patch at even higher speeds 
Sera that’s like impossible to read 
@minor robin would love an infinate plane of ice, as when you emote, like handstand, on ice seems you can accelerate infinately
I leave all lore questions to the designers unless I know we've given a public answer about it.
Where's Pines and Reika when you need them?
Always a party when they both show up in the lore channel together
Ok let me repeat
Hey a little late but please don’t assume the devs can or will tell you lore about the game
I still find it heartbreaking that going through the ice tunnel at the speeds it encourages gets you all banged up
mechanics, systems, and technical questions I'll answer when I can.
app: steer with your camera
I can go through it at top speeds and either exit unscathed or maybe 1-2 wedges lost
I think we changed it so the ice tunnel doesn't do as much damage or at the very least it was discussed.
mechanics q: why losing energy in ice tunnel
Remember the tricks to skiing...
Pizza slice, French fries
Yeah it’s not like I’m dying in there but I’m still surprised every time I take damage
tbh, even when i've lost all my cape energy by knocking into walls i've never actually lost a single star from it
I've actively tried losing my last star there so I can be capeless, was very hard
I kinda like that we get hurt, encourages people to practice better control for slide.
I managed to do it skydiving while unlit in home on the edge of the Eden portal once
it's definitely a topic recently actively discussed internally. by 'it' I mean the ice tunnel.
I like going recklessly through the tunnel
it's the ice tunnel and the hole down to forest-underground that hurt more than i expect them to
I got myself krilled down to 1 star then homed and saw how hard it was to lose that last star by bonking alone
it's been a topic since it starts making damage from a certain build on 
Yes that too
and people defense it with "what's wrong with a little challenges"
sky’s slide/skate mechanics are so so so good. I know the emphasis of the game is on flight but the sliding physics are a such a gem
generally speaking, concerns you raise here are already being discussed by the team. and yes that includes the connections made between players and if our design upholds our goals of sky being focused on friendship and altruism. even if some very vocal parties feel we don't care about those things.
I guess to each their own, kanpai
I still remember a Reddit post I saw back when the game just came out
at this point i just embrace the ice tunnel, and try to do flips on the way through, it's really fun
Someone posted a clip of that tunnel. They were just so excited about how pretty the game was
And someone who hadn’t even touched the game yet started ripping through them for not having a better handle on the controls
It wasn’t the official Sky Reddit
Valley is one gorgeous area, both lighting and architecture
I hope sky gets to be really popular soon
yowchh
yes valley is such a nice place place to hang out, so pretty and peaceful
Like one of the games everyone knows
Google play is saying over 1mill downloads on android right now
fr?
We shall take over
Sky is hitting 2 mill downs?
And 110k reviews
Its already popular hehe
that's a big review-download ratio
the thing is tho about ice tunnel: if you’re not in control of your slide through it, you’re not likely to get the candles at the end of it. I see myself loosing a wedge or two scraping the walls... I take it as a sign “oops, need to slow down and get a better handle on this”
But like fortniht popular
Idk 10% isn't bad
I usually slow down as I get to the exit. Kind of like the way you stop when you’re skiing
10% is way more than i'd expect from any mobile app
Just like make a sharp turn
Atleast I found this game
Less for the candles and more to avoid going over the edge
the biggest complain i'm having about it is loosing wedges from scraping the wall
I didn't think I would ever find a mobile game like this
And most low star ratings are about crashes on older devices, so not really a criticism of the Game per se, only its compatibility
I try to do a smooth, consistent slide from top of the hill and through all candles until I hit ice rink, just a personal challenge to stay speedy and incontrol
I normally do a spin move if I want to stop
i just jump back
Or go into flight mode and quickly switch to closed wing
Ohhh I’m probably gonna get that new SE. I wonder if the game will look any better on that over the 8.
oh i wouldn't trust the number of negative reviews on the app store as an indicator of quality, lol (for any app)
@worn field very true, but reading the subjective is all about technical problems, not quality of the game
Are Google Play players able to review a game if it’s not compatible with their device?
Or some of the positive reviews
just don't trust reviews, make your own judgement
@blazing sail people could review it before it was released, so I guess
to get through ice tunnel: I hold forward with lefthand, tilt camera downwards with right hand to get less air and stay in contact with the snow, steer with camera to the right on turns.
Google play is weird
anyway that’s it. lol gonna drop ice tunnel convo
cant wait for the android sky bootlegs
Most people just don't know how to play the game
it launched with a 4.7 due to limited live reviews
tilt camera downwards
it gives me so much pain as well
sky dive: children run through jungle
And say it needs more tutorials
I realized that if I want to upgrade to new devices this year, I have to go in blindly without handling them first. First world problems, I know....
Boot leg sky games but it like one of those bootleg spider Man games
And they just call it something different but they just used free models
I’m wondering if there would be a noticeable difference in Sky’s graphics going from a 2017 iPad Pro to a new one.
I remember leaving a review on the limited live app once. Memories 
I’m wondering if there would be a noticeable difference in Sky’s graphics going from a 2017 iPad Pro to a new one.
the device is less hit up, that's all
so it'll be smoother in long time running
Hmmmm
NASA
We're 6 days away from the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.
Earth cape
I find it funny when everyone forgoes the four new seasonal capes to all wear the holiday cape
Gonna be a sea of green
a sea of tree
little sprouts everywhere 
Sky: children planted in earth
turnip cosplay with the green cape and moth hair lol
earth: children of the leaves
tgc's next game found
OK I've written up some water purity lore theory, ty kanpai and wyiott, I mentioned you but didn't @ you incase you didn't want the ping
that's cool
Has there been any more discussion on if/when portrait is coming to live. It is AWSOME on the Ipad!
We need leaf hair for earth day
when it's ready, it still has some issues and is only functioning on ipad at this time.
it has a lot issues (though feeling sorry for not organizing a report bc too many projects happening irl
I only tried it for one photo. Playing in portrait on ipad is a bit awkward
It’s beautiful on iPad, it shows so much more
the screenshots are ver nice
It was some getting used to, but I remember when I first played the beta , I wondered why I had black bars on my iPad and not on my phone. Eventually I got used to it
Looking back on the off topic discussion on ktjn’s name , It reminded me of the old cash register sounds: ka-tjin
oh man, portrait mode would be super pretty in vault for pics 
looking forward to that comin in live
I still have to try to see what the iPad video looks like when I play it on my tv through AirPlay
I fell like it would be good for taking phone background photos
If it the same image size as a phone??
Isn't it more tall
I don’t know
I use it as a background on my iMac but it gets cropped
Ktjn, are portrait mode to come to mobile as well? Or is it iPad only?
Guys, how to farm heart?
!iheartyou
Thanks
Oeh , it auto adjust the picture you chose or you can do it manually 😍
the goal is probably broad availability of portrait mode, but i'm not sure what is feasible from a technical standpoint. portrait on ipad was fairly easy to implement since the width of an ipad in portrait is similar to a phone in landscape mode so making the ui work went somewhat smoothly.
have to say one hand control mode needs to be brought up more if portrait mode is implemented on phones
it's a nice-to-have but there are more pressing things to address first before devoting a lot of dev time to it. re: portrait on phones.
imagine using joysticks in a 5 cm space
i think i’d be ok with 2 handed mode and portrait mode on a phone. i type 2-handed, so i figure sky will work as well.
one and two handed mode is available on all devices.
i meant 2-handed mode in portrait mode, sorry i guess i didn’t make that clear
My fingers are too small to type one handed anyways
the landscape keyboard on my phone causes so many typos
ah gotcha, sorry trying to multitask <_<
can relate
I type better in portrait mode than in landscape mode
same, but that’s probably bc im used to it
My iPhone 8 is just too wide in landscape and I have to stretch my fingers to type
Chat buggy ness is the only problem I had. And I take that if I can get the good pics in live
iPhone 5 was perfect for landscape typing
maybe one day smol phones will make a comeback
Was hoping they might make a full screen phone the size of the 5, but since the SE is now the size of an 8, I doubt that will ever happen
As for Sky in portrait on my phone, I think the most I’d use it for is to light friend stars while I’m multitasking
hey 4" device still exist (iPod Touch crying cause no one ever consider it)
not a phone tho. but i get where you’re coming from.
Yeah I don’t need two devices in my pocket
aahh kanpai I used to use iPod touch to play
I could barely play for five minutes before needing to recharge lol
And wow it got hot fast
Who even gets 4G on an iPod touch? You wouldn’t be able to play anything away from home
Yikes
hum all kinds of offline games?
imagine playing a game that isn’t sky
battery would be so relieved
maybe peeps don’t have a compatible phone/tablet. but wow good on tgc for making sky ipod accessible
sky on ipod works but it's really not great lol
better than nothing
it's ok since 7th gen gets an A10 chip
better than nothing, 
I play games that aren’t Sky but I still wouldn’t want to carry a device around that doesn’t have access to the internet outside of home
well you're talking about my ipad
lol
So I get away with just WiFi
Anyway my point is that I don’t see what the point of the iPod touch is
When you can just get a phone that does all the same stuff and works as a phone
me neither but i'm just getting a cheap ios device to mess around with
basically yes
extremely good for kids.
i kind of assumed that’s the main market for it
i would rather get my kid a ns lite
yep...can confirm lol
Stick Apple Arcade on it and you don’t need to buy them any other games
Assuming it works with it
it does work with it
Then that would probably be cheaper in the long run than a switch
still, ns wins, up coming next, a Sky topic
Sky is also on iOS tho
coming to ns as well tho i doubt if it would really worth to pay before head
speaking about paying
Wouldn’t it be the same payment model?
doubt, but no official news yet so put it aside for the moment
i think one of the reason of people including me complaining cosmetic price a lot is that Sky is lacking game play for people to focus on
the most attracting part of the game is collecting cosmetics and expected it doesn't require payment to achieve
Well it’s focused around doing the same things day after day week after week to earn your cosmetics
It was freeing to be done with all my regular constellations
comparing gacha games that require a lot more money to get what you want but people can probably feel fine about it
because collecting gacha items is usually not the main focus of the game
Personally I usually avoid most F2P games
If you’re able to buy a leg up at all in a game, I usually delete
And if I don’t delete right away, I usually wish I had by the time I do delete it
If I want to play my iPad in public and don’t have access to WiFi I would just use the personal hotspot on my phone
That drains the battery pretty fast, no?
Not really
two batteries draining
Not more than it would playing sky lol
my 1st gen SE can't afford hotspot
My iPhone battery drains just from me being on it constantly
because collecting gacha items is usually not the main focus of the game
so not paying for gacha items would probably still give a fairly good experience. But when it comes to Sky, collecting items becomes the main focus, and many times it requires payment. If one decided to not collect items and reject any payment, a possible option is quit the game. Socializing is not going to be one's main focus for sure since a good socializing experience is hard to promise
i know there are players who feel that way about the game, kanpai, but i think there are also some players who don't feel like cosmetics are the main focus at all (including myself).
yes i get that
the social experience of the game is hard to promise and it depends on your luck
sometimes you meet nice people then you can get some joyful memories
sometimes people will just make you feel miserable
it's rare for me to find players who i can't easily escape if they're making me have a bad time
if i have no friends online and don't end up making some nice new friends, i still enjoy playing alone, as well
i find it hard to do so when i need cooperation to get through
oh, like multiplayer doors
yep
i don't candle-run or anything, so if that happened to me i'd just move on
i know it's really frustrating if you just want to get in and do a quest or something
doing quests is my main focus in game atm
i would probably return home if someone is making me miserable and my Sky life of the day is ended
Good dayyy.
Can someone Uber me on the Alpha. Romeo. Kilo.?
So
Hey guys anyone there ?
hey anka 
Joshur can u say me wat is the ultimate reward of season of enchantment
There’s a turban and a pair of earrings @spark lance 
But u get it with seasonal hearts i ask after the ultime reward. Or r the thing wat i can by with seasonal hearts the ultimate reward ?
yes you can buy the gift with season hearts
The ultimate reward costs seasonal hearts i believe
For hearts i dont have to 100% the constellation and that my problem xD
For seasonal hearts, yes i do believe, like past seasons, you must buy everything in every seasonal spirit
The beta players have already the season my thinking is should i save the candles or should i do 100% because the reward is really nice like the umbrella reward
There should be extra time to get extra candles so I’d say do 100%
Hmm
We dunno how ultimate rewards will come back, they may cost real money
So idk, I’d get it
I buy already the adventure pass
For the coming season of enchantment in live version
tassels not earrings for the first part of the ultimate reward
But i can save the candles of the reward is just a hat,
Looked like earrings to me
Idk
Yea me too
The capes for coming season r amazing but ultimate reward dont a must have
In my opinion
we all have different taste
If the hat and the tassels r the ultimate reward
look in #beta-screenshots-videos I took a pic without hair. ears aren't that high up ^^
some people love the ultimate gifts, some people don't
even though ears aren't so high up, they can kinda look like earrings
As long as theres hair to cover the top teehee
it's ok if you want to see them that way on your own sky kid but with the amount of people complaining that there aren't enough "masculine" cosmetics I feel like it might be uncool to keep calling them earrings when other people wear them
opens up more possibilities for people dressing up so that's cool i think
@random gull thx i see
earrings aren't gendered
neither is hair but plenty of people upset about hair being too feminine
I guess ill wear em as earrings, sky is rly open anyway, wear em however haha 
i know what you mean
ok uh I've seen like three capeless moths in home
hello again beta peoples, do y’all think the season will really start in 3 days or are their still minor bugs ?
Oki oki, tassels then... sry
on the brightside with the new beard, pair it with any hair and bam! masculinity level +20
big oof at the friend who got mad at me for not wanting to go to the ark in live XD called me a drama queen after she left not realizing I could still see her conversation
Why bother glitching in when you'll be able to go there normally in 1-2 weeks?
that was my logic plus like TGC could ban accounts for it. I doubt they would but they'd be within their rights to
some people are ravenous for spoilers or 'being there before it was cool (aka widely available)'
hey ktjn
if you don't mind sharing what does your beta skykid look like
eh that's their thing. I don't see why it harms them any that I didn't want to go XD
it doesn't, but it prolly reminds them they're doing something they're not supposed to so you might be imposing some guilt they don't want to feel, lol.
i'll post in screenshots for you, mini.
yeah I can go in beta but even if I couldn't I personally wouldn't want to go with them anyways because that area will be properly accessible soon and if I wanted to spoil myself there's plenty in beta screenshots and vids XD
yeah i had a friend who glitched in on live and i was like 😄 , then i stopped going after that because i got scared i was gonna lose my account for going there earlier than official release
Can i ask where to spend this seasonal candles?
@shut saffron I'd assume you preordered the adventure pass in live and have 10 special candles?
If that was the case you cannot use them for now, but you can offer them to seasonal spirits soon.
And please read thorough #rules again and tap the candle there, you are missing a role to see all the channels in this server
beat me to it lol
You won't be able to spend seasonal candles until the season begins. Keep an eye on #news for an official date
When will next beta openings be?
We dunno
for the upcoming season, do you think
the spirits all going to be available on day one? or is it weekly spirits
we won't know until the season starts. they were all available day one in beta but the season is also abbreviated for testing anyways
3 more days time to see :')))
I think only the light quests are staggered
Spirits are all up front, the light quests are staggered.
Ktjn
:0 yey
the one it says relive spirit memory from the valley of triumph isn't it where is at the ice rink?
One of the candle bunches is on the same mountain
yw
I don’t think they will ban you for joining friends and ending up in the ark by mistake lol
You'd never be punished for accidentally making it to the new area in live
Lol seems like moths shouldn’t be able to tap the Beta role until they have the Child of Light role 🤣
You won’t be banned for glitching in either. They just find ways to lock down areas that aren’t supposed to be accessible.
In this situation I assume that they are just focusing on more important details since the season is almost here.
And everyone will be able to get in anyway.
You CAN however get in trouble here on the server for giving instruction to glitch and exploit.
Anyone can tell me what can i get or what happens after collecting colored lights?
magic
🤔
Hey
Went i bought pre order adventure pass now, but i dont want to spend in the next season(forgotten ark). Can i have candle season? While the next season is end & i want to use afte the next season
No
it'll automatically active in season of enchantment
but the candles you're not using will convert to normal candles when the season ends
I think the spirits will be released incrementally, because it would make sense with how the light quests connected to them change the Ark
if not that, then the light quests will be weekly, but in that case I am unsure how it will work if a player misses a week
ive heard spirits will be released all at once
light quests are staggered release, but you can always do them later
like how you could release Belonging spirits all in one day later in the season
that makes sense also
spirits on day 1, light quests are weekly staggered, if you come into the light quests late you can do them all at once to catch up quickly.
I'm just laughing quietly to myself thinking about the coming chaos of people trying to work out this new type of season, because a lot of us were so confused in the beginning
oh, that's good to know, Ktjn!
Seasonal chat: "Where is the xxx light? Where is the spirit? Do I have to go to Wasteland every time?" 
I'm glad we got such an overhaul, though. It's fun to be challenged again!
confusion in beta ig was mostly from the accelerated, daily release of light quests
so live will be less chaotic
no not really
I personally was very confused about whether we had to go back and forth to Wasteland every time, but that was eventually sort out.
live will be more chaotic no matter how simple the quests are
yep, lol
just look at it now

I try my best, but sometimes I just have to step away from the Questions channel
I feel sometimes people are just rushing in without taking their time and looking around, trying to work things out for themselves. This game really is about exploring.
but you are so kind answering a bunch of questions often
Where is the cyan spirit?😬
I agree belpita. Makes me sad to see these new people trying to go so fast, and asking for someone to take them everywhere all the time.
thank you, mochi!
I can't figure out the clue. 😞
cyan light?
@dry pivot yes.
Oh- I thought you were joking partyrocker
Use the portal for prairie
Then go backwards as if going back to dawn
Thru the crack in the cliff
I think you can stand on the grass and wait for it to come closer.
You don't need to fly into the clouds, because they can be a bit dis...what's the word...dislocating? confusing?
Disorienting ?
just realize the game doesn't tell you eden reset once a week?
!er
The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday April 19 at 00:00 PDT (In 2 days 45 minutes 3 seconds)
we know it from experience/discussion outside game
no i'm not asking
talking about info provided in game
no wonder brownies keep asking why there's no statue in eden
not even in Help?
Does the season only give regular hearts or I have to finish all the colored spirits first?
haven't check that
you get seasonal hearts from each spirit tree
Ooow.
I would answer: Try play, and you will know
This game is full of suprises :D
@hollow compass thank you alot. 😊
Wait, I think I remember something
The game does tell
i believe the game tells you about Eden reset in Eden, after giving the first winged light to a kid statue
yeah
oh right
"eden resets * days later" or something. I don't know if anyone could understand what Eden reset means without reading the help tho
i'm always busy skipping forward 
In the game it tells the shrines resets instead of eden resets
meaning the same thing i think
and what actually comes back are statues
True
imo the word reset kinda sound strange in game
I thought was the shrines where we light up the fire at first but no
i mean in this game
but it only tells you once you're actually there, which isn't so good
dead kids will return 2 days later
btw, I wonder if those regular hearts in the quest giver's tree are either place holders for something else OR are compensation for non-pass holders
I think it's just another way to get hearts
people keep asking for them, pass holder or not.
many people want to spare their candles for traveling spirits and also need hearts for traveling spirits
I know, but I thought maybe this way the people who don't get the pass could get something special out of the season also, since they can't get the seasonal hearts
yeah, and get motivated to complete light quests
Anyone have the new spirit trees or a chart?
Items prices on beta are currently not accurate.
from Ktjn
Items in beta may be smaller than they appear
Or different
Or completely non-existent 
don't worry i am sure some kind ppl will make us accurate charts as soon as the season starts in live
I’m mostly wondering what u can get with and without a pass
yeah, and you know how an inaccurate chart can be a bad reference if you wanna know that
one day an item can be pass-free and the other its pass-exclusive
Hey so if getting the ultimate gifts just gives you a blinking red light right now... what’s gonna happen in live when people buy candles to get the ultimates on day 1?
Hey everyone! I was just wondering, can I wear the face masks or the scarf with a chibi mask? As in, are they also masks or separate accessories?
No, the face coverings are attached to masks
Aww
are resize potions random?
i mean
if ur gonna buy it from the constellation
are they bought as "resize potion" or just those "spells" that gives u random spells
It's random
oof
resize potions are given randomly and each potion gives you random height
i need that chibi run without the chibi mask ::cccc
you can get it! you just need some patience or luck
Can we still download beta version of sky for ios?

Hi
With the nod emote and turban, you can be a genie granting a wish
Why are the new emotes scattered all over the emote list?
no idea. I submitted a bug report on that
Did what happen
I assume the emotes now relate to the kingdom where the lights are found, like the other emotes and seasonals are in kingdom order.
So head nod is Isle, boo is prairie, shrug is forest, crabwalk is valley, and sleepy is vault.
As the playfight is a friend, I'll assume that is wasteland.
BTW, did anyone else notice the background music change as we found each light in the questgiver spirits shop?
yeah the music's nice, isn't it
Going there with an alt without any lights, the music seems different
Whereas my main has more brass /oboe instruments, the alt has more string plucking sounds
i thought about that but the emotes are not in order of the lights either. for example the isle Cyan spirit has crab dance emote but the crab dance emote is located next to the vault emotes
Good morning my beautiful people
Hello
are you good today?
yes thanks, what's up
Dude I had a great sleep.
bruh
Yesterday I joined an art server and I just could not wait to meet them.
right when I came they all were vary nice, and cool.
Guys I need help
About the new area in live
I don’t want to get there but my friend told me he hacked the game to get there and now I don’t know if I’ll get banned from getting inside that area. I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say this here
I’ll delete this message if I can’t say this here
i don't recommend going to the new area before the season
you can report the person claiming to hack in-game
You prob wont be banned if all u did was warp to ur friend
I just joined my friend
However ur friend may be banned for hacking
that gets a yikes from me haha. i recommend reporting them
I’ll do that
Pff I was not expecting this
Reported him
Reported him
Ahh he said that I decided to risk my account my getting there. I think I should block him
You should, it wasn’t ur fault
Ok I blocked him
I just realized he might be a youtuber
His name is pretty similar to that youtuber’s name
Now I’m really lost
I got a small problem
Speaking in short, i played on Beta and got some amount of progress, that is precious to me. I want to transfer it into Live, but i either just can't, or don't know How to. What can i do about it?
Live and Beta both are seperated servers
!betalive
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
Skybot did a better job
So nothing i can do about it? Alright then.

skybot good bot
Sky should splash a big message across the screen that says that before you start playing the beta version
nothing you can do, sorry i know it's frustrating. it's why we say not to get too attached to your beta account
I just wondered if such transferral could be possible. But guess i'll have to start from the beginning.
Well, here goes nothing
@carmine hearth I hope you were aware that your progress can be wiped in beta at any time?
I do. Nothing i can do about it, so...
I got it
I already began trying to get the progress in Live by going through this adventure again
I just wanted to make sure you were aware before you got on beta, that’s all. Perhaps it needs to be clearer for everyone.
It's Not something either me, or any other fellow player can control. So when i signed up for Beta playthrough i was well aware of what could happen
why can beta access be revoked?
Unacceptable behavior?
Does anyone know when the season of enchantment is coming public ? I know it is later this month but maybe sooner?
soon bruh
!seasonwhentellmebruh
soon bruh
lol

@spark lance tgc revokes access or resets progress if that’s what they need to do for beta testing
is it a thing where sometimes they need less beta testers
No they just want to get a fresh batch
Testflight has a hard cap of how many people can be in beta (Android is significantly more forgiving with the cap) so we are forced to do access wipes to clear out people who no longer play.
That doesn't mean you have to log in every day to be considered active, just active when we have content that needs tested and feedback collected for. A lot of people treat beta as early access or a means to avoid paying for items, get bored and quit.
clear cache
Are only beta testers allowed to talk here?
Anyone is allowed to talk/lurk here, but this isn't a q&a channel for live players just so ya know
everyone can feel free to drop off
@spark lance @carmine hearth beta access has been revoked for all players at various times to let new testers in and “reset” the game or perhaps to get rid of inactive players
I see ill just back read and see if I find anything I want to know thank you
Search function is useful here too

hi. i have a small question. how did you get to play beta?
Beta is a separate service with a limited capacity for testers. You can only get in when the devs open more slots, and you can be notified of when they do that by following the instructions in the command

They’ll post an invite link in #beta-announcements that will open a page to sign up for the program, then it’ll direct you to Apple’s TestFlight or a Google Play Store beta program where you’ll download the actual beta game
I’ve got a bunch of players in beta wanting heart exchanges. Seems there are way more ‘players’ than testers at the moment. They don’t understand when I say I don’t trade items like that in beta and it’s just for testing
yes its annoying that people think that beta is early access.
Some testing requires you to purchase items though, such as when fireworks staff was changed.....
So heart trades in beta are valid
you can trade in beta, but still not in this server 😉
There's not anything wrong with working towards cosmetics in beta, just as long as you know it could be wiped
I would be going for my baby pink cape but I'm too lazy to ascend the spirit
I mean, it’s nice to have at least one fancy cape.
Will there be a beta on mac or is sky strictly mobile?
Yeah, my fancy cape is the orange one 
There was a Mac beta a long time ago, but it was put on the back burner just before global release of iOS.
My Sky kid from Mac is still in my constellation in iOS beta. 
Hulooooo
hello! 
Is anyone going to forgotten ark
Yes, for quests and seasonal candles
I can't take you nor am I willing to glitch in in live game
Ok
It'll be accessible to all in live soon, so just wait until the season starts
Where is that rumor coming from that beta players can take live players to the ark?
I have no idea 
A lot of the new live players think that beta is just an extension of live (that they are all in the same app) but that the beta role players can access areas that regular live players cant. They don’t understand that it’s a completely different app and they don’t crossover.
essentially, heh. how does any rumor start, lol.
o__o
Hm
Yes, I thought we all play in the same app? And that beta just has a different version?
Isn’t that also android too?
Beta and live are different apps
hey beta team
iOS beta and Android beta play together. iOS live and android live play together
damn community manager is here
!betalive
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
What
yes
Isn’t beta also for some players only not everyone has access?
yes
It’s like testing?
Perhaps it should be added that beta and live can't play together? I thought it might be implied with them being different apps tho
yes, there’s just a limited group of beta players
About 30k correct me if I'm wrong
I have heard they will kick inactive people from the beta program , is that true?

and open the recruitment
Sometimes, i think
it has happened before
Testflight has a hard cap of how many people can be in beta (Android is significantly more forgiving with the cap) so we are forced to do access wipes to clear out people who no longer play.
That doesn't mean you have to log in every day to be considered active, just active when we have content that needs tested and feedback collected for. A lot of people treat beta as early access or a means to avoid paying for items, get bored and quit.
Ktjn
ok
beta members were the ppl who played at the very beginning ?
I joined beta last fall, after global release
Well i am not a beta player , but i somehow went to forgotten ark i dont know how in the live version😅
The new area is in the live version but is supposed to not be accessible yet
the last time we did an access wipe was august.
No you won't get in trouble for ending up in the ark accidentally
Thanks
Oofie
To my understanding there's two ways of getting there, glitching through normal means and hacking by modifying game files. We're working on preventing the latter from occurring.

I teleported to a friend😅
Same ^
Generally speaking, purposefully exploiting the game to give yourself an advantage over other players is not ok
Glitching is just, in a sense accidentally managing to do something that is not intended
Nice interpretation
if you’re interested in details on what you can/can’t be suspended/banned for, you can read the terms of service we all agree to when we start playing
i might be guilty of not reading that
it’s a fun read
TGC owns you
appunwrapper go make videos😅
It´s some heavy duty reading, i skimmed through the other day. Terminology city 
but hey I know what is good and allowed and what is bad and not allowed
1% battery bye guys
see you!
Thanks dark 
lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk... 
Should have that ToS pinned so everyone can read
you can read the terms of service in-game, too, by the way
Yeah I’m doing that
For push notifications, I’ve always wondered does it mean they have access to your actual phone
If you press yes for push notifications?
Or it just means whatever happens on your END they will send it over no matter what
Hey all, I was just curious if they was a specific thing you gotta do to unlock the boat to get the the Ark
The ark is not meant to be accessible in live yet
Gotta wait for the season to start first
How is it some people have access to the beta? I guess I just missed the memo
Like it’s okay it’s only two days away I was just curious
some players have gotten to the ark in live via either a glitch, a hack, or warping to someone else who is there
Oh I see
We joined beta when there was an invite link available in #beta-announcements
If there is another wave of invites you'll be notified because you have the beta member role
OOo I see how push notifications work now. The app registers with the push notification service of the phone (e.g, iOS, Apple), and if users select yes for push notifications. Notifications are sent to The push notification service then to the phone?
yes
I had it enabled for a while, i got event notices as well as a notification for friends who lit my friend star

Either they got the beta a.pk files from other illegal source or modified without being invited into beta membership role. This is something we need to be aware of.
Please don't discuss or encourage the use of APKs. Downloading copies of the game from any source other than the Google Play store is against the Terms of Service, is not a legitimate copy, and could contain malware.

There, skybot got it
Hello have got a q
I saw the screenshots reward regarding the new season and there's one reward which is quite confusing
||Is the simple dark purple Cape a premium reward?||
items could shift from premium to free, and vice versa, without warning during beta stage.
beta can’t confirm any final prices nor what is f2p/adventure pass accessible
for example the winter piano used to be ultimate reward for the rhythm season before changing to a seasonal spirit reward.
Oh I understand. In one screenshot is premium, in a second one is not
Thanks for clearing
np, we’ll all find out once the season is out 
When is the new season?
soonish ™️
we don’t have a confirmed start-date (when we do, it’ll be announced in #news)
And also how could I get into the beta?

Can anybody take me to office? uWu
I’m so late to the party. Only just saw the announcement
I just checked out the general chat 
Someone plz tell me there are new winged light in this season.
I am at 119 and lord I cannot find anymore light
There's 2
YES
1 on the boat
THANK U
And one 1 in a cave
Are you in live or beta
live
Have you checked everywhere for winged light
I think so, I missed the cutscene one tho
And I missed 1 traveling spirit ascension.
Have you checked the 2 person door in vault
It has 2
Have you gotten the stuff there
There's also one in the vally temple
If you don't wanna open any doors
Ahh I already had gotten the stuff there
it’s fine tho I can be paitent and wait a couple days until the season
Speaking of... the ark can’t fly off bc there’s a wing on it.
Still a huge mystery what will happen with it at the end.
oh yeah.. and the spirit positions are pretty fixed there too
maybe more boats will rise up out of the sand and circle it? or from the caves there were murals of mantas
maybe they will return
what i wanna know is, after the season ends, will new players still be able to do the light quests, or will it be a dead ark forever for them
So many mysteries
I suppose it could permanently change for everyone at the end of the season too
So you miss out on the transformations but still see the final one
It would make sense from a lore standpoint aswell
yeah it would
I’m still wondering what’s gonna happen with the missing cutscene for people who buy everything on Day 1. Unless that’s fixed in live but not on beta?
i'm guessing it's in the current live build but not in the beta build
so it's a surprise for everyone
Any information about the next season in live?
Well, it’s a surprise for the people who buy everything on day 1 😂
The announced it’s coming Monday
if you want spoilers, you can see stuff in #beta-screenshots-videos
How would they buy everything day one
Using $$$
You can buy more candles once the season starts
Thanks
Ah i just realize your name. I have read your guide @blazing sail
Nice guide!!
Thanks 🙂
Ahh.. it’s gonna release...
Without instruments..?
I don’t see any on the release announcement art ..
And I had so hoped they’d add s o m e t h i n g ..
Also, App, I think spirits will release on a weekly basis.. so no unlocking everything at once.. probably
But that’s just speculation
Also, beta hasn’t seen any updates for a bit
pretty sure Ktjn said spirits will release all at once
She did?
Better than having everyone wearing the same stuff at beginning
For sure!
I just hope the bug with having multiple lights to guide is fixed
That was some confusion and noise, ahah!
I believe they said the lights will only show up as dailies once we’ve had them as an ark quest
So that confusion we had in the beginning of the season in beta shouldn’t happen
Not what I was talking about
When two guide spirits are activated at the same time and you're carrying both of them
When you start more than one spirit and the spirit lights you must shepherd towards their memories ..
Yeah
That would get weird
It happended during rhythm when the
spirit was visiting
Oh right
hopefully that already got fixed
Umm so I avoided that happening with Enchantment but....
Ktjn did say they made some adjustments to carry-quest mechanics
-tuning for the circle on carryball quests
Last week when I went to relive the traveling spirit, a moth activated the spirit that crosses its path on the ship.
Hopefully that fixed it then josh
So I think I ended up carrying both?
But one wasn’t a carry quest
Anyway it was all a bit confusing
Yeah you can end up carrying both.. but which one goes where.. and.. the noise
because the game is trying to direct you to two checkpoints at once
A good fix would be to not have so many spirits in one place... xD
Yeah that’s no good
They could have added more stuff to the ark area so there’s more room for the 6th spirit 😛
And more sand in between everything- oh poor moths
Woulda been cool to see one high up in the sky :3
Like that spirit in the sky in the secret level?
Glad I’ll have my 10 wedges in live
Not like the manta call spirit?
I've got seven I feel like a noob lol
Eh.. idk just.. There is so much space ABOVE .. which is not super hard to reach
They could have made us climb that giant anchor as part of a carry quest.
I really shouldn’t suggest that bc it would make me cry.
Moar jumpy puzzles!
I get so nervous flying with that light
Like Lightseekers vault 😈
Nooooo
Yeee!
The patch notes say all of the spirits are in gw right? Or is there a lot of "where's the isle spirit?" in our future?
no one reads the patch notes any way 
Where are the patch notes?
dhdjdj and the vault lightseekers statue was off the platform uggghh pain
I would read them if they were easier to find
Why not here tho..?
Because everyone here has the game and not everyone who has the game is here I guess
I don’t wanna sit there ingame, seemingly afk..
People are afk a lot. I sat with an afk just a while ago
patch notes are also here: https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/a/sky-children-of-the-light/?s=patch-notes
Thanks
I think they are also on the update page in appstore. I remember something like that being there, at least
Hi everyone , I have a question and making me confused for a long time , I often look messages of all maps , and I found that many messages always have banana 🍌 , did anyone can tell me what is that means ? I really wondering what it is . Thanks! 
Also what does the inbox thing in the settings menu mean? I see it there and click on it and nothing happens. Is it just for messages from the game itself about updates and such or is there gonna be some kind of in game message sending thing for when your friends are offline someday? If it’s the second thing that’d be really cool.
min, we're confused by the banana messages too. one of sky's great mysteries 🍌
Commander_Squablo, The Inbox is a not-yet-implemented feature.
My guess is that someone joked with bananas and got high message likes and everyone else just follows.
@cobalt bay It's a member of this server who places those banana messages and now they've become a thing. I can't remember their name here right now, sorry.
In Them Olden Days, one Chris would always post about...er, what was it again...??...oh, no, I forgot
wait a sec, going searching
Chris the Beard is not on anymore...?
I can't find his posts.
But I believe the banana thing is used now in organized groups to get the heart likes
that's ok and Thank you guys for answer my question ! banana message let me and my friends confused but feel funny , now we finally got the answer lol , we also like joked with bananas so everytime when we look banana message we will talk about its excitily lol😆
THANK Chris make us happy (although that I never meet him
)
howdy all
good early EARLY morning...3:40 am here
what spirit has the capeless cape
?
the whale sound in forest
hmmm....
99 ACSENDED? IS THAT RIGHT?




I think I'll start eden runs now! see yall next year

hi! i read on a different discussion that when beta slots get opened, everyone would be notified and it’s first come first serve. i was wondering when it does happen, where would the signups be? thanks!
Does anyone know/remember “garlic toast”

ohh ok thank you!
i thought about that but the emotes are not in order of the lights either. for example the isle Cyan spirit has crab dance emote but the crab dance emote is located next to the vault emotes
I think I found the answer. The emotes are in order of the constellation, from the left end to the right end
I still think it's a bug though. The current order is just confusing
The real game of Sky is finding the emote you need when you need it
Hi AppUnwrapper!❤
Hi!
Can i play beta for now?
If you’re in beta you can play whenever you want.
The picture in the news channel only shows 6 lights, but we know there's 7...
They probably don’t want to spoil the main purpose of this season, since it’s so different from previous ones.
The two in Wasteland are the same as of now, though.
Hm i see i see
Even we don’t quite know what it is, wouldn’t you agree?

Why does it still say ‘ early access ‘ ?????
Now I know where the confusion came from
Yeah wow
early access, where?
where is that from?
There are some regions where the Google Play Store actually has the beta app labeled as early access
It always been labeled that way since Android beta launch
unfortunate wording
But isn’t that just the limited launch?
I don’t know how Android works, but for the iOS beta you can’t download it from the AppStore. It’s only accessible through TestFlight with a redeem code.
On Android it downloads the beta game directly through the Play Store
yeh beta apps even have their own special folder lol 
Noob questions , are we able to forge Seasonal candles even though we dont have the pass??
Yes
#seasons-events-chat but yes. Collect 5 in the daily quest realm makes 1 candle in live
The daily quests will give seasonal candles, and the seasonal candle bunches you will find will offer wax to forge candles. Pass holders will just get an extra one in home every day of the season
Seasonal chat usually has someone post the locations daily
Also this is a beta channel, if you can't see other channels you gotta go back to #rules and react with a candle to the right post to gain access to the rest of this discord and the relevant live channels
Where is the purple light in vault? I still can’t find it
2 man door at your right side as you enter The Vault
Sorry, I’m just a bit dim, but the screenshot, is it for beta or the limited release of Android? It didn’t seem clear from comments above.
Because if it did say “early access” for limited Live it sounds logical. Otherwise not.
On the actual Android beta game download it calls it early access. It’s not for limited live, somebody just really messed up the name
It’s not called early access in English
Idk how well they were able to correct the name in different regions. I was under the impression it was fixed but judging by both screenshots it’s not 😕
I don’t think I get the full just of beta but despite that, can anyone tell me where all of the different colored lights are? And is anyone aware of the ultimate gift? Okay I might actually have to wait on the ultimate gift but the lights👀
How do you get the beta cape? I was apart of the beta version before the official release is there a way to get it?
The time frame to redeem the beta cape for testing prior to iOS launch has passed.
What about android?
!betareward
The Beta Cape was a one-time reward for the testing period prior to the iOS global launch. A future reward is not planned.
:(( i wanna go to office but i cant
I don’t want to see anything else but the cosmetics, but was wondering if someone had posted the spirits cosmetics list and prices for this season somewhere?
the beta prices aren't accurate, so we don't know what they'll be when the season hits live
that said, there is a list of the cosmetics floating around somewhere in #beta-screenshots-videos
I dont think we should get too attached to capes and emotes in beta. Dont the dev's do a complete or partial wipe periodically? so we can test new things or bugs with old items?
yeah, beta could be wiped at any time (though we'll be given some notice in advance if/when it happens)
The most useful things in beta are chibi mask, chair and coordinating here with other beta testers
basically, yeah
If you wanna enjoy and hoard play live
Although I have to admit playing in beta has tested my ingenuity. I test in beta and beta tests me right back
It definitely does when you need others for some things.
Less than 2 days left 😳
That’s why I asked, hoping someone could DM me the cosmetics chart. I don’t want to see other spoils, just the cosmetics
if you're fine with seeing the emotes as well as the cosmetics, there's a chart somewhere i could probably dig up
Yes please! Tysm
that was unintentionally possible in an old beta build, and is no longer possible.
btw, that youtuber is a known hacker, so i'd take anything they say with a grain of salt.
Nah old bug
Oops, that was quick. Was it the bot?
i doubt it, their message was up for a few minutes
if you mean the message i was replying to?
I heard for the season that there is 2 new winged light in the new area, is it gonna be permanent or like a limited edition kinda thing?
we don't really know, but probably permanent
They were permanent in the new Isle and Forest areas.
Wait I don’t remember any new winged light in Isle
When you don't have enough people for the telekinesis door so you oob in
I’m still terrible at OOBing but some nice stranger helped me in today
They poofed before I could friend them tho
They set up a table that somehow allowed me to get in just by sitting on it 🤷♀️
I just flew up a ledge and it let me go through the wall
I tried getting in with my campfire but I’m hopeless
Its nice because beta is barren
Those tricks been there for a long time
using table for that oob is REALLY finicky but its doable, I still don't have chibi so its a struggle every time 
when you're tall its hard to stand on the ledge
Ohhhh Sky should have had a cherry blossom festival since we’re all stuck inside right now
Ooh, cherry blossoms would be nice, but we don't have a lot of trees (that are short enough to see the leaves/flowers on) to do it with. Maybe those white trees in Vault?
May just have to make do with the pink cape
!news
Sky kids as cherry blossoms 🌸
Cherry blossom cape!
