I’m sure there are people who though it was
like why am i doing all the work
If someone followed me in the race I’d just turn around and follow them for the rest of it to be petty
lol
Never thought it was griefing tho
yeah i did that too...lol
I feel like non of the feedback given in beta is making it up the chain
well all the time Ive been thinking it was a bug so never considered submitting a feedback
i know lots that did tho
the ugly valley ice made it to live too
as well as the new step mechanics
where you have to long press
well all the time Ive been thinking it was a bug so never considered submitting a feedback
Same cause I thought we’d be told about something like it in beta updates if it was intended
it may be that some of these things will be changed due to feedback, but weren't high enough priority to work on before pushing the 0.9.2 update out
Possibly
this is why some sort of beta patch note would be nice
i am surprised it wasn't mentioned in the patch notes tho to be honest, since they're mostly quite comprehensive
Ugly ice?
maybe they didn't want to discuss griefing
Yeah I'm a bit lost on the griefing thing as well
well they're in the patch notes now (honking to reveal locations and following non-friends)
Ktjn must have added them
the truth? I'm human and occasionally miss things. apologies.


I miss things frequently
Might need to hire someone to help you
I'm really surprised and disappointed that the radar was turned off.
And yes, I have left feedback in #live-feedback
We were sort of led to believe this was a bug in beta, if I remember correctly, so whyever it made it into Live is a mystery. It just takes away so much of the game experience.
If people were being bothered in Valley races, maybe...just maaaybe it's how the races are (not so much) designed (to be races anymore).
Told you guys, the ice rink is sandy :v
still hate it.
leaving live feedback on it later
if the textures needed to be simplified, blue would have been better too
I agree
literally in canada to prevent from falling and slipping on ice we literally dump sand and gravel on ice
I’m going to sleep. too many changes i don’t like 
we do too the current ice rink reminds me of that
tho the sand and gravel we dump irl are dark in color
anyway we know some bugs cannot be fixed before live updates, and I think the change in ice rink is not mentioned in the patch notes
wow, what a huge change to usability for so many players. Was this tested in beta? I don't remember noticing. For me, I play solo most of the time and I won't mind not having the stars all over the screen all the time, but for so many other players, this seems like the change might be more grief than what some unfortunate individuals might have experienced. I was trying to think of another player-driven solution however everything came up with a complexity issue in the software.
If you in the game, actually alot of them has opinions about since March..
It was unintentionally tested. It was in beta for a while but we were under the assumption that it was a bug of some kind. It wasn’t confirmed intended until just a few hours ago.
i noticed and bug reported the honking thing
i believe several bug reported the ice thing
This is so confusing.
i've noticed that sometimes bugs we report only get resolved a while after they've already made it into live (including some bugs fixed in the 0.9.2 patch)
they might have some backlog of bugs to fix
I have a feeling the feedback channel will be full of people wanting the mushrooms back and drowning out the actual practical stuff like radar.
maybe
though there has been a lot of discussion/complaints about the radar things
it's easier to cool down the mushroom talk by reminding that they weren't meant to be there in the first place, but the radar is a more difficult conversation
not much talk about the ice rink though, that i've seen
They will get used to it in few days
well a bug or not the new ice link is far less annoying than the pixels in screenshots
Ice rink might come into view when the quests move there tomorrow.
true
Yikes.
On top of all that, they apparently broke the deer mask and now I’m worried about the fact that they’re messing with the deer mask.
I’m worried too but a lot of ppl are saying it’s a bug
Worse case scenario
Deer masks and ultimate umbrellas aren’t visible to other players bc tgc wants to keep everyone equal and to not look down and show off to other players
Shouldn't all these be tested in beta before goes to live?
Sure, it’s a bug. But why are they messing with it? 😰
Well since the deer mask and umbrella blinks on and off for other ppl
I’m pretty sure it’s a bug. But if it’s not and they are planning a mechanic to remove deer masks from other ppl’s view
I’m gonna cry
That would be the most ridiculous feature ever
an item can get glitched even when the devs are not working on that particular item
uh, why would they even plan a feature like that
i think jay is just kidding
am i missing something here, wouldnt that defeat the purpose of ultimate rewards
They jus don’t like the idea of others looking down on ppl
And that’s why they don’t add cosmetics with large detail and stuff
And yea I was kidding

It will make no sense that way
Maybe tone that down a bit right now when everyone’s tempers are a bit tried.
I think it’s easy someone will run with it.

The deer mask and umbrella textures are bugs.
Things break sometimes between beta and live. Code is weird and very tricksy like that.
haha well i have to say that the ice rink bug its in live
theres multiple lights
on the rink
Just saw the umbrella, it’s not a bug, the bioluminescent bacteria just need some water 
Just got a little dehydrated
This is interesting
I didn’t update on my iPad but my mask is still bugged?
Or maybe my mask got removed bc I was on the updated version on my iPhone
Ok yeah that’s weird. I played some on my iPad on the old version, killed the app and when I came back my deer mask was off again. Even tho my iPad isn’t updated
Would think the last version you played on would stick?
Lol I said “cure corona” for my quest today and it was banned
You mean red sentence?
True
Someone was telling me about how they went to the grocery store back when it started and there were only corona beer and corona beans left
It’s just a word, people
Corona beans? I never heard it before
Lol I said “cure corona” for my quest today and it was banned
@blazing sailI said "make covid go" and nothing happened I guess ur luck
Lol
Weird, since “covid” is kinda hard to confuse with anything else
If they have to block something, covid would make more sense than Corona
hmm... i put that as my meditation response and it wasn't filtered. submit a bug report and the team can look at it on monday.
Ok will do
Corona and Bacardi and Heineken etc are all blocked
Nope , it’s the brand names that get blocked of alcohol Btw , it’s really hard to have a conversation in my native language , Dutch. We’ve got a word ‘ hoe ‘ which translates to ‘how ‘ ....... well you guess , all is in red when I type that word
That’s a big pet peeve of mine bc a hoe is a gardening tool
And uhhh I also often typo “how” to “hoe” and it gets flagged
The only people using “hoe” as an insult are spelling it wrong. 
They’re basically calling someone a gardening tool. Let them!
Here’s my 5000-word thesis on the matter.
It’s kinda hard to have a conversation without hoe ..... when you meet someone , first thing you ask is ‘how are you doing ? ‘ / ‘hoe gaat het ?’
When I meet Dutch people nowadays , I just ask it in English.
I don't think I have ever met someone in game speaking Swedish, which is weird considering it was out for Soft release in Sweden.
I can also say all manner of rude words in Swedish - rotfl!
Are we not testing the healing pack?
nah
i suppose its to sync beta with live /shrug
Would think they’d want feedback on it since it’s an accessory that’s supposed to work with everything else?
yes, so maybe it will arrive on Monday
At the same time as live?

idk it seems like such a small accessory, either it clips into hairs or it doesn’t 
maybe tgc is just confident with the systems they have in place
I don't think I have ever met someone in game speaking Swedish, which is weird considering it was out for Soft release in Sweden.
@hollow compass i can speak swedish hahah
👀 
im updating sky beta but it's stuck on about 0.5% or something
that's odd, usually sky updates are quick to install, because the update itself just contains the essentials to play the game + Isle, and the other worlds and audio start downloading once you open Sky
Does anyone know what the flower accessory looks like
@languid widget you can have a look on the sky official Instagram, Twitter
And even in this discord news channel😂
Does ||space station work in beta?||
uh, yes, it does
Oof then someone is lying in question channel
They said that is was that day today, I went there and nope
Some people believe space station is on a weekly basis but in reality it is every 9 days. They might have been mistaken like that 
Ohh
So it's 2 days from now?
Never been there on space day so I have no trach
Track*
Might be, I visit office every day pretty much. If you want I can dm you if it is space day
Or @ you lol
Lol no it's alright I'll just check also get candles. Thank you so much tho
Any idea when new beta keys will be available? I would love one please 
Opening additional beta slots is on an as-needed basis. There is no pre-set schedule for when we open it up.
Hi
Ho
Oof I’m peacing out of this server for the rest of the day. It’s hectic with the update for the player call thing, and the borderline harassment on every platform about those stupid mushrooms is appalling. See y’all tomorrow 
Have some rest. 
How to go capeless?
get 999 hearts and buy the capeless cape
To go capeless you need to rip of your cape with all your might then sacrifice it to the elders
if you mean the invisible cape, then follow kanpai's advice.
(keep in-mind it's a beta easter-egg that won't be added to the regular game anytime soon, if ever.)
if you mean remove your cape, you can do it by losing all your winged light in forest or wasteland, then warping to a friend

@quick oriole this it’s a sign that the system of grinding, cosmetics and currency is working against the goals of the game. Ppl are so focused on features that are not even supposed to be parts of the actual game if they lose sight what the game is about.
Love the 14th birthday crossover artwork today TGC. Lovely.
ttt
design team chose not to beta test the healing pack.
just like any other bug, if the chat filter is being weird, submit a bug report. it's based on a complex system that is part algorithm and part black/whitelist. it does filter any sentence or word in a vacuum but in relation to the chat lines that came before it. when the filter doesn't know what to do with something sometimes it blocks it out of caution based on context (e.g. hoe) and sometimes it lets it pass because it doesn't have enough data to verify bad words are being used, it also can get wonky with unsupported languages (e.g. dutch and swedish)
if folks are getting overly hostile about the mushrooms, please poke a mod or myself to intervene and redirect the conversation. Even though it's a 3-day weekend for TGC, I'm typically on-call for emergencies.
!er
The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday May 17 at 00:00 PDT (In 1 day 5 hours 21 minutes 39 seconds)
i love the new updates where people cant spam short calls it makes the game more peaceful why do they hate it?
I think I too will enjoy that @trail oak
Yay my deer mask is back
please talk about changes regarding the live version in one of the live channels, and keep discussion here only about the beta version of the game. this channel isn't meant to be a second general chat
When I use firework staff, why the black bar on the screen is include.
It used to be non black bar on top of the screen
I'm limited access rn, not seeing one myself yet (Android)
they broke warp in live with this latest patch... ug
i dont have it with many in beta... is it ok there?
Hi guys! Do you have to pay to get the Adventure Pass in the beta?
no
No all iap is free in beta.
And no transfer to live version
How can I become a beta player ?
The iOS and Android betas are full at the moment, @spark lance. To join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-announcements! Give yourself the beta role here by tapping the
in #rules to be notified of important updates.
You have the Sky Beta Member role, so you will be notified if more slots open. If you are on iOS you can download the app Testflight to prepare. You won't get into beta just by asking for it.
All this nonsense could easily be solved with an incognito mode or something that would let us get private servers.
I think I might do a recollection of complaints and thoughts ( mine and from fellow sky friends) so they get a comprehensive list of sensible user complaints.
I think private server would only be viable for TGC if you paid for it, e.g. to have a monthly subscription. I don't think it fits TGC philosophy to create divide between those who can and can't afford a paid service (on top of season pass and other cosmetics).
Those are complaints from people who still play the game. I just log in to get the candles then come back to Discord to chat. Not much to do ingame anymore.
Did they remove the mushrooms in the Forgetten Ark?
Did they remove the mushrooms in the Forgetten Ark?
@wise cliff Yep
they were unintentional, so their removal was innevitable
Quick question, did anyone in beta ever see a version with the hidden strangers as with live yesterday?
I don't recall it in beta, but I may be wrong
Not seeing strangers was in beta but there were never any statements made about it so we all assumed it was a bug. Kind of annoying to know it was unintentionally tested
Oh, I never noticed that, possibly because of low density of players at most times
I went into beta yesterday specifically to check this, found someone I hadn't lit and kept chirping while flying away and still saw their star, maybe I missed an update
I know the previous build had it, but I haven’t met anyone in the most recent beta build so I can’t say for sure it’d still be like that
I could always pray though
I know some people mentioned they noticed it and reported it as a bug.
But no indication that it was intentional.
And with beta being a ghost town it’s hard to know. The warp nerf better be a bug.
It’s telling me to update beta but I don’t see an update?
Hmm I don’t have a beta update 
ig it hasn't rolled out yet
edit: probably bc of the 0.9.3 hotfix like skycat said in #beta-discussion-android
Same. Can’t update.
Wait warp bug?
Warp doesn’t seem to work properly, or it was changed as well
The eye won’t appear over a friend and apparently you have to both be stationary on the ground or something for it to work now
In live... not sure bout beta cause I don’t have warp with a lot of peeps.
Is anyone not able to access beta? It says there is a new version but there are literally no new updates available in TestFlight for me. 😦
A lot suffer, we have no idea except the hotfix theory in #beta-discussion-android
Alright, well at least it’s not just me! Thank you for the help 🙂
You're welcome
can we have beta and live version on the same device? its 's probably a silly question but I'm just curious (∗ˊᵕ`∗)
👋
tysm (˘︶˘人)♡。+
Can’t play beta either, forces a non existing update, rip!
RIP,dear
How are we suppose to update to a nonexistent build
don't
we can just wait until Ktjn finds some time for us and explains what's up
remember tgc is on a weekend at the moment 
I guess in the mean time I’ll just play in live
Does anyone know anything new about the invisible cape 🙋?
It’s an item that most likely will never go to the live builds
Oh... that's too bad😭
Hopefully one day it will 
oh what? I thought it's already in live O.o
awww :(
It’s not
will finish my last constellation in live next week... I thought I will be able to see it then 
damn
Be glad it’s not in live yet , otherwise you would be far from finishing the forest constellation 🤣
but yea to be honest, the invisible cape isn't really an ultimate gift worth 999 hearts 
It wasn’t really intended to be an ultimate gift
heck no 
at the moment (and for the foreseeable future), it's not intended to be anything
It reminds me of the story of the emperor’s new clothes , a lot of ‘money’ for well....... nothing
yea 
if it ever became something, do you think we'd still be able to fly 
kinda
There’s a vid on beta screenshots by ktjn
you can glide but not really fly
She uses the invisible cape
ah, thanks (∗ˊᵕ`∗)
You can fly with the invisible cape
oh ok
You’re thinking of people glitching to remove their cape, and with that their ability to fly
yea
it's an invisible cape, but it's still a cape
There’s something different about your name 🤔

Any way is fine, so I hope it comes out someday😢
in my opinion, the "no cape" is not a thing that belongs in the game... if you remove the cape or make it "invisible" you should not be able to fly... but this is just my 50 cents 
^
Even tho it is, 999 hearts... like ||dying and getting reborn capeless|| is way easier to get capeless
yea true
that reasoning is why it was 999 hearts. it's a silly item so they wanted barely anyone to be able to get it
where could you possibly get this item 
but people mostly don't care, especially perfectionistic people 
heart 999 They said the number was just for a spot. In response to my previous inquiry🙋
it's too bad... I feel like I have some lingering feelings. 😂
Anyway, thank U, everyone!👏🏻✨

what's the build number for you all in Testflight?
149370
^^^
try logging in now
It works now ;-;
huzzah i remembered how to fix it
Thank you Ktjn😂
ktjn now becomes an engineer 
wearing all the hats
fixing bugs, wow
soon all tgc employees will be Ktjn clones
in my opinion, the "no cape" is not a thing that belongs in the game... if you remove the cape or make it "invisible" you should not be able to fly... but this is just my 50 cents
@civic totem I tested it, capeless you cannot fly and very dependant for other mechanisms to move.
Ktjn way is invisible cape, still a cape and it can fly.
Getting 999 hearts is indeed a very, very, very ridiculous feature. :v especially there's literally ghosts in beta..
That’s why it’s not a feature 
thanks CatsEye 🙂
You're welcome

but i have to wait 
your best bet is to wait for an invite wave 
haha yeah
you'll be notified when it happens
Good 😅
@worn field was you username always like that?? i swear it was different a while ago...
it's usually "joshur" 
ah ok
@civic totem do not suggest or allude to "workarounds" for accessing beta. I've removed your post. Anything that isn't through an official link is against ToS.

Hello
hi
hi everyone
hi
Dingly dingy ding ding ding tapping that phone screen
Beta is peaceful.
Oh
Hello, I want to know if I will buy in ||office|| beta-cape it’s just a cosmetics with candles or I will be the beta member?
The cape you can purchase in the secret area is the founder's cape. The beta cape was a limited gift given to beta players prior to the game's launch and isn't available anymore. They both act the same though and grant access to ||the office!|| The founder's cape is just a cosmetic with candles, and has no relation to being a beta tester

React to skybots message at the bottom
@gilded parrot hey
Skybot is a bot
@versed saddle at the very bottom of the chat there’s a flame icon, tap it and skybot will dm you to make a report ^^
@lunar zealot yeah sorted thanks I've sent them a msg
Just hope my sky works soon :-(
Aw, i hope so too! 
Beta and live are separate apps, you have to be on the same app to play with others
People who beta tested the game before the game released (July 18, 2019) got the beta cape applied to their live accounts if they met the requirements (not all testers got it)
The beta cape isn’t the same as the founders cape you get from the secret area and has a white lining instead of a black one
That boogey still in beta. But but internet connection still got him jailed

is it based on the selected language to match the player?
What is this boogey man that we’re talking about? I need to know
The ‘them’ part makes it especially interesting
1 more week until 
@dusk pagoda no, matching is related to friendship and/or number of players in an instance.

@spark lance the tassels and turban are the ultimate gifts for this season
once the constellation is complete, you don't get extra items, just the season-finale cutscene
@spark lance you just asked this question in #seasons-events-chat . Beta channels are not preview Q&A and at the moment we don’t even have any unreleased seasonal things that aren’t already in Live.
im sorry . i deleted it
You’re welcome to lurk here and ask the odd question. But remember that this area is for beta testers to discuss their experiences foremost.
It’s ok. Just you know, there’s usually no need to post the same question in multiple places.
How to be a part of the beta team?

Can't find where to react with the blue cape under rules o.o
the reactions often disappear because discord is a bit buggy. sometimes restarting discord helps 
Strange how all other reactions are there. maybe they temporarily took it off
Nah we don’t do that discord is just broken
no it's discord being weird

In fact, i got screwed by my family because was suspected been hacked. Now I can't play
Sigh... 
Hey guys,
Have they released the next light in beta yet?
If not, any idea when they are going to release it? Is it along with the live?
the next light hasn't released in beta yet. it's scheduled to release in about 1 week, tho for all we know that could change
Okay thank you very much!
How come beta season is ending earlier #beta-screenshots-videos
That’s just how it is in beta
Does that mean we also get to see previews of the next season? 
Not until it’s close to the season releasing in live
It’s not really a preview it’s testing unfinished content that will change rapidly before going to live
Oh no I hope I’m not going to meet tons of people from my country
i saw the notif for beta updates and thought there was gonna be a test wave then i realized i wouldve been pinged for that because of the beta role
ok
this may be of use, given the recent post in #beta-announcements

I should try out the chair/bonfire things they mention also.
I'm assuming some of those changes can be tested alone also, if I don't find any companion.
Are they already implemented
I can easily place them on the shrines and portals
And home plate
hm, I got that impression from the notes?
but I don't know
weird to ask for feedback then
Now I’m not sure anymore , so its only feedback about a ‘if implemented ‘ future
it doesn't say you can't place them on shrines and portals and whatnot
it says they don't have collision in some cases
that's what they want us to test
griefing
+no longer have collision if you have not lit candles with the person who placed the table +seats and flame are not enabled until you have lit the owner +when table does not have collision, it will flicker blue and gold and cast no shadow
very interesting the middle one!
i like it
I actually had to read it 5 times 😂
It read to me as not being able to block etc +no longer etc
the only downside I can see is that the owner will have to get up and be lit for each new person
this stuff is already active on beta, i'm just now being asked for feedback on it now that it's had time to simmer and we haven't seen much discussion of it.
oops, that's a bit embarrassing on our behalf that we haven't noticed!
It’s hard to notice with no other players
well, true
I made a full star run this afternoon and only came acros one player
What’s wrong with my autocorrect 😢
that could also be because of the new radar feature where you can't see other players anyway
even though we had the massive wave of android testers, beta feels emptier than ever lately
even before the change to calling
I kind of think that many of those newer members had other expectations for beta...
Sky isnt that big that i cant spot them in vault
Btw , there was the stranger , for the sit with stranger quest 😊
i'll try hopping on at next reset to catch the candle-runners
we should make it a date
Uhmmmm , i just had a stranger lit my bonfire

i wonder if they can be recharged by it too, or if they have to wait to light candles with you
I placed it on the home plate and he was lighting his constellation
interesting...
a grey just sat on my swing and we could speak to each other
well, then...
Is the healing pack not releasing for beta?
i'll bug report once i'm done mucking around trying to break things
nope, no healing pack in beta
I just sat down at some strangers bonfir
e
I could also light it
they're not replying to me, though...
Sadness:'(
no, they are replying, but I can't see their text. I can also recharge
you can ask in #beta-looking-for-group
hi @vapid drum LOL!
Hahahahaha, so it works half
im alone at home again, waiting for test subjects
XD
I was baiting
indeed
I just warped to mirian
me too
mirian, the stranger magnet...
You see , she was the only one online
wait, where did you go?
I think mirian is afk by a boat, btw...
What happened to the mushrooms and what were they for in the first place?
mushrooms were unintended and so have been removed
Ok , nothing works except the non chat function of the bonfire
I know they decided not to test the new hairstyle flower 🌸 in beta and they should have because all my back pieces are to the side now my umbrella 🌂 is sticking to the side of my head
@vapid briar sorry for the ping, but are you sure those chat table features are enabled? We're testing them out now and can put things on top of each other wherever etc.
wait, I just realised @vapid drum : "no longer have collision if you have not lit candles with the person who placed the table"
so, how exactly is that going to stop people griefing with tables across portals?
Yes , I’ve put the table on you when i arived and you were unlit

I am so confused
Good news , chat doesn’t work 😊
If you notice someone blocking a portal, just don't light them and their table won't affect you
Oehhhhhhh yes
is that how it's supposed to work?
Belpita , can i unlit you again 🤣
so, basically any table with unlit strangers I should just be able to run through?
According to #beta-announcements yeah
er, how are we supposed to be able to test that?
v3Dguy1v, we're just testing the supposed updates out, yes
But i place a table on a stranger and he got up in the middle of the wood after placing
If someone places a table and you haven't lit them, then you shouldn't be able to stand on it
He shouldn’t be able to stand on it then
It also looks different
right, that makes sense
I haven't logged into beta yet today so idk if it's a change that went through or not
but rob's bonfire looked like a normal bonfire when I met him by chance
Lets wait if its actually implemented yet
Ktjn's reply above was a bit confusing, so I don't know if she was puzzled by my ping or if she didn't know if these things had been implemented
I suppose we'll have to assume they are there, if we're asked for feedback
I wrote some feedback based on this short experiment, anyway. 
oh, I just heard about the double heart event chaos
I'm sorry, Ktjn, I had no idea my ping was so badly timed
please accept my apology
...and the flower is breaking back items, oof
I’m dying
The videos of the flower chaos are killing me
Why....didn’t...they.....beta.....test...it?
sorry, not beta related
no idea
I suppose the main purpose of the Healing Pack is the money, and they wouldn't be getting any from beta anyway
But beta is for preventing stuff like this
wasnt the earth cape tested in beta doe
This is the first paid cosmetic that wasn’t tested in beta
were they working from home during earth cape?
Yes
we all know by now that even when we do beta test, some bugs just don't show up in beta when they do in live, tho. beta isn't a silver-bullet. tgc would know that even better than us. i figure tgc weighed their options and made a call.
yeah
After this, they’re gonna have to add an item that intentionally turns your chair into an instrument
Is the double heart event already happening?
But I didn’t get my heart doubled D:
see #known-issues, there was a rocky start to the event
Ok thank you I’ll check it out!
Hope they’re fixing that
hope they release it into beta XD they shouldve earlier so we couldve caught the bug
@prisma quiver XD just lol maybe they forgot
XD
@prisma quiver are you on live XD
Lol I have all the three versions
wow
All I'm at liberty to say is design chose not to beta test it.
does the netease one also have a healing pack?
NetEase runs their own promotions.
@prisma quiver soliciting for heart trades isn't allowed in this server. please remove your message 
Oh okie
thank you 
it's in #beta-known-issues for reference now. re: healing pack.
at least those 75 candles
@naive flame accepting a trade request is also against the rules of this server.
Does anyone know how the matchmaking based on locale works?? Like location, the language settings, or...?
i don't believe we have any more details than there is in #beta-announcements yet
happy to help

None of the chat prop changes are working, I tested all three with an unlit stranger and they all function as they do in live.
I did chat with an unlit person
to #beta-bugs-ios and #beta-bugs-android we go 
Huh
We tried it with table, bonfire, and swing. I could read their chat on all three
We tested it not at home but in the ark area
we should try to include extra info in our bug reports so tgc can pinpoint when and why it does and doesn't work 
i tested at home too 👀
The only thing that worked outside home was the non chat , but guess ill give it a try in other places first
So sitting on a bench with a stranger for the quest now can’t be done with a gray person?
i think that should still work with grey skykids
since in #beta-announcements is says the changes are made to "props"
The bench still works
Good

@hollow compass> @dusk pagoda no, matching is related to friendship and/or number of players in an instance.
@hollow compass thank you

I really don’t understand what changed with the fire and table in beta... seems like it all works the same for me. Not many peeps around tho to test it with sombody
Hey all, been a wild day.
All the items in the updates post are currently active in beta within the recent 0.9.2 builds. Design team just reached out to me to ask for additional feedback so that's why some of it is coming so late.
The table change is so shades cannot put the table in front of portals or on top of shrines to block players. It's a potential fix to address the griefing issue without removing the collision from the table entirely since we know it's a popular out of bounds tool. It's not a perfect solution but was easy to implement to test the waters. I know this is tricky to test on beta since it's kind of a ghost town right now, which I'll also flag up to the team—our thriving android playerbase has probably mostly shifted to live, never to be seen again.
The locale matching is to explore matching people who speak the same language (I'm guessing this is derived from the default language on your device, will find out more tomorrow). This is in response to community requests.
The healing pack didn't have any new tech and the design team didn't encounter any issues during internal testing that warranted further testing on beta. Lo and behold we got some hefty surprises when it hit live.
While working remote, beta test cycles have definitely slowed down because they're a lot more tricky to push out at the rapid pace we did while in the office. We'll be looking into this situation in the near future.
Thank you always for clarifying things up for us!
I’d have loved to see the reactions when the flower glitch started rolling in as bug reports. 🤣🤣
Thanks for working so hard. This has to be difficult.
I think I feel the worst for QA because this came out of nowhere and they feel the worst for not catching it.
and again, I'm sorry for the ping in the middle of all that
I had no idea about the mess
I appreciate it 
Please know a lot of us really do appreciate your work, even if we occasionally grumble and make a lot of noise.
You grumble cuz you care.
yep!
And we'll make it right, even if it takes us a little while and stumble along the way.
Hi!
Hello, @keen pendant what's up? 🙂
check #beta-announcements for a feedback request that you can help out with, if you're in beta
No, I'm not beta 😣 I would have liked to have known this game since its inception
Maybe some day you will be able to join. 🙂
Right now there's nothing majorly exciting happening in beta, though.
Just some fine-tuning.
Great, well then I will see the other channels to inform me a little more of what is coming, have a good night 
I think I'm about to slither out for the night, it's been a long day and I have some chicken kebabs with my name on them. As always, thanks for the chat 
The Healing pack and double hearts is not in beta, correct.
Thankyou @hollow compass
ah. grumbles.
Hello I'd have a question involving beta android
when the stress test for android beta was opening up spaces I got accepted as a beta player but I couldn't download the app at that time because my phone was too old. Now that I have a new phone it says my email is still accepted as a beta tester but the app store won't let me download the game :(
am I not a beta tester anymore because I couldn't download the app in time or is my app store buggy?
what your new device?
Is the days of healing pack available in beta?
@simple granite no. check #beta-known-issues
Thanks
Alright!
Hey @vale monolith, it looks like you shared an invite link in a public channel. Sky invites are single use and it's best to share them through DMs
On que first
please delete your QR code from here and send it through DM instead
Ok sorry
What's the difference between Beta and... not beta?
beta is a testing-version of sky, for finding bugs and stuff
Hi, where I can find the names of the spirits?
You can look at the constellations in Home.
Oh 😂 thank you!
Confirmed the locale matching is based on your default device language. Updated the info in beta-updates.
let's say my system language is japanese, but i change the game language to english in setting, i'm still meeting japanese players?
interesting...so potentially one could practice language skills in the game also...
I already do that , I’m amazed with how similar the Scandinavian words are with my native dutch 🤗
I'll double check with the engineer, but my assumption is it'll be based on what language you're using in sky. for Android, there isn't a secondary setting, so it's just default language.
what your new device?
@vapid briar sorry for the late response ;-; I have a phone with android 9 now (the huawei p smart pro) and couldn't download it before because my old device only had android 7
no worries, HWPOT-H (HUAWEI P smart 2019) is supported.
err wrong device, but the p smart pro is also supported, it's a lower end device, but is definitely compatible.
we haven't revoked beta access, so if you're getting an error downloading, make sure you're signed into the Google account that was opted in.
hm alright thank you
I'll try again
I am signed into the same email but it still tells me that beta access is limited and not free right now
I've tried accessing it over the link where I first joined
Have you tried using the Play Games app?
I’m kinda curious, what is the % for the increased chance of encountering other players who are using the same language settings as I am? It’s a bit hard to test in beta right now cause it’s so empty, and not everyone is in the mood to chat. 
I hope it isn’t too high... I think it is cool to interact and connect with players who don’t speak the same language as me.
Have you tried using the Play Games app?
@fresh quiver I just tried that but it sadly didn't work either :(
but thank you guys for trying to help!!
not exactly beta but i'm guessing the recent live patches will make their way here as well
Hot Bug Fixes (live):
*Fixed the overheating problem. Now the performance should be back to normal.
*Now tapping on your self will reveal players you know, and the "Warp" feature should work like usual.
*Flower Hair Accessory causes the items carried on the back to flip.
*Player can't tap on gates and gears when strangers are standing nearby.
does "gates and gears" relate to ui priority :0
What are gears?
engines
I might be stupid and this might not be the place to ask, but how can I find out if new beta players are ever needed for Apple?
we'll announce it in #beta-announcements and @ the beta member role.
XD why don’t you test a patch in beta first and find the bugs that’s what beta is for
it's complicated, hotfixes typically do not need a public beta phase. Clearly something is afoot in the code. we'll be pushing a hotfix for the hotfix to beta soon. see #beta-announcements
Oh okie
Erm, how would I get into beta Sky for Android?

it is a bit confusing that it's called "sky beta member"
mini
kritoder, how is your name purple?
it's not purple
Or was
Oh
app, maybe your discord is being weird
Hold on gonna screenshot it
lol
Discord does that when there are too many reactions, kritoder
yeah discord be buggy
Oh
@ app it was purple because of the enchantment role was at the top, didnt have either the child of light/beta member roles
;-;
restarting discord fixes it sometimes
clever duck dark
thank you, thank you, i watched rick & morty recently
Oh the beta cape button reappeared
(heads up you might get pinged later but it won't be for beta slots)
;-;
might be a permission issue. discord likes to be weird sometimes.
MY HEART
those reacts filled up so fast
Wow those reactions got there fast
big ping
Press f to pay respects to the graphics
i wonder how many people have the beta role
all members with the role got tagged, which are a lot 
we'll find out.
A,, a lot
No update beta in platstore.... yet 
I haven't gotten the update yet
^
iOs build is still processing, but this focus is on android anyway.
update yet to be released on the play store
ah ok
Well, lucky for you I have both Apple and Android
I'll keep an eye out then. I'm glad I didn't update on live yet
jesus, made the mistake of checking beta updates
Crashed discord?
yep
how long does it usually take the playstore to update? (normally I download the update several hours after the notice)
"NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST PING THE BETA MEMBER ROLE!!!!!"
"haha reactions go brrrr"
You got update on playstore?
HAHAHA oboy
The beta member role is for beta news and it was used appropriately for beta news
I haven't gotten the update yet no. my page still says "last updated may 9th"
brrrr

Heh same 

I'm checking for the update in the play store, but I still don't see it. I'll keep looking. Otherwise I'd start testing right away
engineers told me it was out 
Might just be a delay
I see it
i see the light
Good thing you guys had a long weekend? Sort of? Kinda?
Heh... google problem
tuesday
Tgc day it's monday
wednesday if you're feeling diverse
what's a day

God that popcorn emote is good. Pines deserves a raise.
Dont forget dis
The expression on her face is just perfect

i hope her name is poppy, the skykid in the emote 
That is amazing
It might even dethrone
as my favorite
@worn field still none
I think
represents a lot of us rn
Indeed

q, i don't know anything else to fix it, sadly
the skykid has pigtails, automatically best emote ever
it’s okay

Finally someone who appreciates the pigtails. Best hair

Peek
Can I come into the out now
I'm not sure. Because i don't know 

My lights are off now so if the bug is still here I'm toast 
bugssssss
I'm kinda glad I didn't update live yet
auto update screwed me 
I have Google play on auto update, but it sometimes just doesn't...
I'm glad it didn't in this case
(kind of wanna try my hand at eden while it's still around
)
Oooo hardcore mode
i was considering it but it probably wouldn't be too great on the eyes?
Just looking at screenshots of it hurt my eyes
It's not affecting me too badly when I've got lights on around me
I feel bad for the folks who it does affect 
So... there is no testing Just the update? n.n
If you mean more slots? Unfortunately not this time
Yep, no slots this time
i tried going to the ark, and it was painful... once it's fixed we can all laugh about that one time we blew up the game for android players.
05/19/20 tgc broke the game
Guys I need help for the beta
I still remember when all the water had pixels all over
at least its a,,,colorful bug;;
The invasion of the rainbow bridge
sky: children of the rainbow

yeee i'm beta 
XD

mini and Giccix sharing braincell
The beta doesn't seem to work...
🧠
I went to the rainbow XD

boxthrot what do you mean the beta doesnt work?
It won't install...
Lol I didn't know that bug xD
No update¿
Not on Android.. but I need videos of this bug.. I gotta see this in motion 
A friend of mine gave me a heart but he waste 6 candles xd
It hadn't update and I couldn't play it anymore
still haven't gotten the update on google play yet ^^;
I don't see the ping update in question 
I shall have my rights! Lol
still haven't gotten the update on google play yet ^^;
@random gull I already did
the update may take time to roll out to all regions 
Lilichi I've got photos but no vids
happens just about every time there's an update, it seems
i've got a short clip here if you want a watch, disclaimer it might hurt your eyes https://youtu.be/E42OLXr7cAQ
I can wait for the update but it's not installing XD
even i can't update because google doesn't want to recognize my dev account, lol.
i'm in the exact same boat as y'all.
just have to rely on the legions
well that was a fun 3 seconds of rainbow
I have the power of a normal user xD
You mamkin me wanna update to kill my eyes now
yea dont
What rainbow 
😩
0.9.4 really said rainbow bridge who?
@vale shale thanks! It’s even worse than I imagined from screenshots alone 
the glitch, zaki 🌈
Zaki I'll send a pic in screenshots
Oh.... tv rainbow 
i've got a short clip here if you want a watch, disclaimer it might hurt your eyes https://youtu.be/E42OLXr7cAQ
@vale shale looks like the usual meme of a broken Animation xD
i thought those glitches were static 
Ahh. Magic light hurts my eyes
I await updates 
that is definitely intense
Wow that was worse than I thought it'd be
is this graphics thing because of an attempted fix for the healing pack?
no clue
I'll start my travel of the day cya nwn
General beta discussion! 🎶
my guess is that something got messed up when they were resolving the overheating issues
Well that backfired
well i can't say that the game doesn't run smoother, so...
I guess you get the choice of burn your fingers or your eyes
XD
My phone didn't heat up.. can't say the same for my eyes
or dont open the game 
Interesting... I don't see the glitch on my pixel 3
Interesting... I do
Haha don't do it
dont update sdfasds
I'm going to check if it updated or not
OOP it's because I didn't update
I don't plan on doing that ahaha
that rainbow glitch is wild
thank u for that very smart decision breaddip
which one is the graphic glitch patch? 0.9.2 or 3?
Who here is from the Philippines??
I really need to know who has the update in this region
It’s still 0.9.4
Its the same in live
Beta is behind a bit in builds
XD
I...don't even know anymore.
o ok makes sense thank you!
u can do this! 
thatgamecompany is doing great work dw
Italian here ? hihih
My Android update just hit...downloading now
can confirm ^
Ah not here for me yet
have fun
No idea if I can speak here, I’m not an official beta member. But I have noticed when you equip the Healing Pack’s flower, it places whatever you have on your back (instrument, etc) to float over your shoulder instead. Might be a feature, I am not sure. But if someone could let them know or tell me how I could let someone know? That would be wonderful
I had a feeling, I’m glad they’re aware
addressed in #known-issues
Thank you

That being said I’m eager to be a beta member some day. You guys do such good work
the prop wonkiness and the phantom xylophone should no longer happen with the hotfix.
If i may ask, does the graphics bug only applies with android users?
yep!
yep
appears to be so for new higher end android devices if i'm not wrong?
yep
@vapid briar so if i am an ios user, would you advise me to update the game? Or not. Im interested with the new patches
No more graphics bugs on my Pixel 3 XL
it should be safe to update on iOS.
Woohoo!
it should be safe to update on iOS.
@vapid briar nice thank you. ❤️
no more on SD s9+ as well
it's not over yet but congrats devs !!
congrats and thank you
we'll see what happens when the fix will come to live
Oooh, whadaimiss whadaimiss!
Hello, i have reported recently about my issue on sending gift of lights for my friends at friendship constellation
I dont know if anyone of you is experiencing this
Lighting stars appears to be redundant.
When you light a star of your friend, after seconds, it will become unlit.
This is beta discussion tho
Wait the beta is open again?
@quartz drift no open slots for now
Ok thanks
@late temple uy!! that's better for #questions-and-help
Yay! Updating right now!
Noted
When servers are merging, it can take a while to synch @late temple
As a test, send a light, close the game, then reopen. It'll be lit
But firstly, is the sky currently falling? Or did I walk into a post-fall clean-up stage?
the recent beta build fixed the issue
live is still a mess though depending on your device
seems like post-fall, DrapTap
Ok, so a buggy update was pushed to live, emergency beta update fixed bug, and now its a matter of getting it to live?
yes that's about it

yep, we're still checking if most devices on beta don't have the bug
Hey guys where i can report the bugs after this urgent update in beta ?
Ktjn has asked to write if the graphics bug is fixed in #beta-discussion-android. Other bugs can go to regular channels as joshur says
I have no access to weitz on this chat
Scroll to the bottom and react to skybots message
you need to follow the instructions at the bottom of the channel 
Make sure dms are open
How to get the No cape? Like, I know it's 999 hearts but, which spirit?
(I don't play it that much)
Oh ok
