beta-discussion

[kindred fossil]

pog

[minor robin]

Would be cool if they made a shimmering noise like Prairie green light

[slim kayak]

Hmm maybe a hint at home? Like one of the clocks?

[empty inlet]

you got it already

[minor robin]

Haha maybe a clock at the end of home rainbow

[empty inlet]

hourly bell

[blazing sail]

The hourly bell isn’t a clue tho

[empty inlet]

the hourly one is super loud and long

[slim kayak]

But for the quest, the clock would be a clue that something is there

Like the ones in praise and forest

[blazing sail]

Yeah something like that could work

[hidden quarry]

[slim kayak]

The assets are already in game, so it'd be easier i guess

[blazing sail]

Or.....

Make the candles actually rainbow

[minor robin]

Clock design is fixed tho at 5pm/am PDT. Idk how we'd do a countdown unless it's a glowing pie chart/minute hand

[slim kayak]

Idk, I'm not a game designer

[blazing sail]

And there the whole time

[minor robin]

Hmmmmmm

[blazing sail]

But the rainbow doesn’t stick around the whole time?

[slim kayak]

The one in prairie... isn't that also hourly?

[kindred fossil]

im assuming the candles are placeholders

nah

[blazing sail]

Make the rainbow sort of an Easter egg but you still can get the quest any time?

[slim kayak]

But then it wouldn't match the quest

[blazing sail]

The quest is to find the candles

[minor robin]

All the time we have people in q&a who can't find the meditation shines/mantas/lights and ask so... Rainbow and clues gonna have to be in the face

[hidden quarry]

yea

[blazing sail]

The candles can be there all day but the rainbow shows up only 10 min every hour

[hidden quarry]

was trying to say that in a kind way 👁️👁️

[elder meteor]

Cant see the rainbow

[empty river]

Huh, interesting to know the rainbow appears at nighttime

[blazing sail]

So you’re not dependent on the rainbow for the quest but it’s a cool thing to find if you happen to be there at the right time

[hidden quarry]

reenter the area, kei

[elder meteor]

Oh i see it

[hidden quarry]

but the quest literally says find the rainbow candle

[minor robin]

I wouldn't mind if rainbow was just permanently there. Tho it does take out some challenge but in this case the challenge is being punctual

[hidden quarry]

isnt it the point of havign the quest

[blazing sail]

Yeah I’m just spitballing ideas if they want to keep the rainbow on a timer

Still think a clue where to look would be nice

[minor robin]

Challenge VS. Repetitive questions in q&a and people complaining and sending in "it's bugged" tickets when it's working as intended fhshfhs

Da balance of sanity

[crisp plinth]

I left stuff in #beta-feedback on that clue, app

[blazing sail]

It’s the green light all over again

[hidden quarry]

wHerEs the rAiNbOW??? @ ktjn

[minor robin]

"I saw rainbow at home and no candles. Windwall was blocking it too"

[hidden quarry]

although, ingame clues have never been there :0

[worn field]

there's never gonna be a way to satisfy everyone obvs, but i feel like this quest does have a fair bit of room to be improved with some small tweaks

[hidden quarry]

not never

just... vague

[blazing sail]

Well, candles are usually in the area with the spirits

[minor robin]

You guys betcha I flew into home rainbow like a moth to flame

[blazing sail]

This season they’re with the lights

And the lights have (cryptic) clues

[slim kayak]

Hmm... the rainbow is only visible from one side

[blazing sail]

But this is the first time a quest is on a timer

[crisp plinth]

I certainly don't want the rainbow location to be shoved in our face
But having a time constraint and some of the realms being quite large and tedious to get through (vault) I do think a little hint to what area it's in would be good

[blazing sail]

And it also doesn’t have any clue where to look

[minor robin]

The merciful thing about the lights cryptic clues are also the light's permanent flight route.

[hidden quarry]

where would a rainbow in vault look natural

its inside

[lusty light]

Faerie ring used to be a quest too

[minor robin]

Probably archive. Or summit

[hidden quarry]

whoahhhh

[crisp plinth]

Idk vault is magic or something

[minor robin]

Summit rainbow would be so nice arching over the elder stones

[hidden quarry]

yea, archives would be cramped

[minor robin]

Probably would be ok in conjunction with a meditation quest at summit

[crisp plinth]

Faerie ring used to be a quest? Oh man 😅

[minor robin]

Oh... Maybe rainbows will appear with meditation quests too?

[crisp plinth]

Hmm

We'll have to wait for tomorrow to find out ig

[minor robin]

Cause here's the thing... People totally nyoom to meditation quests at reset which is on the hr.

[worn field]

i feel like the timing wouldn't be a problem at all if there wasn't so much time pressure on quests. since they're daily. if you don't finish the quest that day, no candle for you, and maybe you never get to unlock the seasonal cape you were aiming for. so the quests have to be reasonably easy while still being hard enough to be interesting.

[minor robin]

Higher chance of seeing rainbow then.

[blazing sail]

People also have to be able to realize on their own that they aren’t in the wrong place, just the wrong time

[minor robin]

... Lol have rainbow work as a loading bar 😂 😂 😂

[worn field]

as it is, you can search for 45 minutes and then just go "welp i guess i'll never find it"

[minor robin]

Slooowly loading to the candles ghshfhs

30 min in its at 50% rofllll

[crisp plinth]

Inb4 I'm at the rainbow in hidden forest but there are no candles

[hidden quarry]

i-

[kindred fossil]

double rainbow at hidden forest

[blazing sail]

Ah yes forest will be interesting if they add a second rainbow

Maybe they’ll reuse that rainbow

[worn field]

they may add the forest rainbow in a separate area

[minor robin]

Hmm meditation spot at forest tends to be in the first sunny area before first gate... Unless they change it to 2nd or 3rd major map

[hidden quarry]

would look pretty in sunny forest

[worn field]

i hope they reuse the regular one tho tbh

yes chia

tho that's really hard to access for moths

[minor robin]

Sunny forest has a demanding spirit gate tho

[hidden quarry]

oh, spirit barrier

[crisp plinth]

🌈 rainbow in graveyard 😂

[worn field]

that barrier needs all 8 forest spirits

iirc

[crisp plinth]

Or battlefield as the krill come out

[hidden quarry]

didnt realize the demand of spirit gates until i started beta as a buff moth

[worn field]

i'm guessing if wasteland gets a rainbow it'll be in ark

[hidden quarry]

that would be pretty

[blazing sail]

I’ve been enjoying not having to deal with any krill this season

Please don’t take that away from me

Well, outside of facing the dark dragon

Ah yeah isn’t this related to the ark quests?

[minor robin]

My theory is rainbows correspond with meditation rocks locations. Sooo graveyard rainbow could be a thing

[blazing sail]

Nooo

[minor robin]

If so, new goal: get krilled during rainbow and take the best shot ever

[hidden quarry]

after you get the lights knocked out of you by a krill, you lay flat on your back and you just see the rainbow

[worn field]

makes me think, hiding relive spirit quests behind spirit-gates shouldn't be such a bad thing, since the meditation quests (and the rainbow quest) are already behind the citadel spirit-gate

[hidden quarry]

cave meditation too

[minor robin]

At least tho the costs have tweaked since android release

[hidden quarry]

hecc, theres meditate in birds nest too

[minor robin]

Way more streamlined, like shipwreck requiring only 1 WL and not vault

[hidden quarry]

really? never noticed that

[minor robin]

Chia ur beta moth is too buff. Ur smashing thru constellation gates like Kool-Aid guy

[hidden quarry]

forest constellation: 0/8

[blazing sail]

I remember when my friend told me I had to go through Vault like 3 times to get all the spirits (unless I got through the doors with others)

[minor robin]

Could be less if you have friends or really kind randos.

[blazing sail]

Right

[crisp plinth]

I was two weeks into playing sky and realized there's a four player door on the first floor lmao

[minor robin]

Which is interesting mechanic

[worn field]

i love that

[blazing sail]

But if you do it the “right” way it’s a biiiiiit tedious

[hidden quarry]

i dont remember how i even did vault, i think i sent the classic "this spirit is glitched??" for the levitate emote to q&a

[worn field]

i loved going back through vault as a moth and exploring, looking for the pray spirit

[blazing sail]

I played some beta before live and remembered missing stuff

So when I first started live, I tried so hard not to miss things....

Not realizing that it wasn’t really possible

[worn field]

if you try to get everything on your first run, you're gonna have a really tiring playthrough

[hidden quarry]

haha yea, you have to retrace to get through gates

[blazing sail]

Right

[worn field]

i don't think the game's meant to be played that way tbh

[minor robin]

I didn't know about swipe jumping so I literally manually jumped up the steps to levitate only to find out I didn't have pray lmao, then I mistook it for another emote got the wrong emote and jumped up it again and when I found out I was still wrong lmao. A rando took pity on me and did pray for me. It really stuck with me.

[worn field]

you're meant to find new things on future playthroughs

[minor robin]

It's those encounters that make each individual playthrough interesting

[blazing sail]

But I just went basically in a straight line in beta and missed everything

[hidden quarry]

i was so scared of falling from the vault stone spiral steps

[blazing sail]

You’re meant to explore but also can’t get everything

So I was a little confused

[worn field]

there's a balance somewhere

[hidden quarry]

most ledges are really fall proof doe lol

[worn field]

those steps in vault really are hard to jump up tho 😔

[minor robin]

Chia u underestimate my moth energy

I will Fall. I will slam into walls no vet has slammed into before

[hidden quarry]

dink

[minor robin]

My moth days = walking flying xylophone

[blazing sail]

I got seriously lost in the clouds between valley and wasteland

[hidden quarry]

glockenspiel

[blazing sail]

And I might have done that both times 😅

[hidden quarry]

omg i was scared there was something out for me in the valley/wasteland clouds

[sand dawn]

Swipe jump needs a tutorial... it’s not explained and it took me ...months to realize how it worked (and how well it works once you know it.. except for jumping down lol)

[hidden quarry]

almost had a heart attack when i saw whale

[blazing sail]

I didn’t really understand wind walls back then

And kind of thought it was just part of the challenge and really mean or something

[compact stratus]

Yeah

[hidden quarry]

lol

[compact stratus]

Chimealean your not the only one

[torn gust]

Hahaha same here Chia 😂

[blazing sail]

So I just kept flying back into the wind walls

[torn gust]

first time i saw the whale i instantly bolted as high up as i could go

[minor robin]

I caught onto swipe jump cause the game started me off in 1 handed mode but I didn't know it had lock on

[hidden quarry]

[compact stratus]

Yes whale scary

[blazing sail]

I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to follow the whale or run from the whale

[hidden quarry]

lolll

[compact stratus]

Yes same

[blazing sail]

Anyway.... the good thing is that I never made it to wasteland in beta 😂

So I was in for a shock when i got there in live

[hidden quarry]

i was happy cause there were nice recharge clouds but also the colours and music.. smths up

[unborn flax]

Hello; Does anyone know where is the rainbow candle? can't find it anywhere

[sand dawn]

I would swipe jump on accident but not realize how to do it, or that it could be used to jump up those vault stairs with ease

[torn gust]

hahaha thats absolutely true chia

i had an inkling something was probably coming just from knowing journey levels

[empty river]

rainbow candle is 💥 gon

[worn field]

@unborn flax look in #beta-screenshots-videos

[minor robin]

I played journey before so when I noticed the ominous colour change I was like : TGCCCC

Spook whale shows up: boom there it is imma die

[unborn flax]

Thank youu

[torn gust]

HAHA

thats literally the mood

[hidden quarry]

for 10 minutes at the beginning of every hour, theres a rainbow and a candle bunch. fly near the candle bunch to complete the quest

[torn gust]

it took me awhile to trust the whales

[hidden quarry]

when you bomk into whale when in orbit and your phone does the buzzzzz

[crisp plinth]

Valley to wasteland transition scared the light out of me

[minor robin]

Me: I see the people who created those stone dragon flies of death are still employed

[worn field]

i have no idea what i was thinking when i first played through, my moth memories are mostly a blur now

[crisp plinth]

Absolutely chilling to see it go from orange to green

[blazing sail]

I was also really puzzled the first time rain injured me

[hidden quarry]

about to get the the 6 enchantment spirits !! 3 days left in season

[crisp plinth]

And I saw the big vortex and knew it wasn't gonna be safe

[blazing sail]

Like.... this peaceful game just turned deadly

[empty river]

i didnt really care about the whale because moth me totally missed the cloud hole to wasteland

[sand dawn]

First time jumping into the vortex was .. leap of fate..

[hidden quarry]

hahaha mini i think i thought "do i... jump?"

[crisp plinth]

Oh yeah , I remember flying around confused at the end of valley temple bc I didn't see the hole

[blazing sail]

There’s just so much space around there

[crisp plinth]

I got up to that ledge really high in the air with my four wedges, somehow

[blazing sail]

It’s so easy to fly off in the wrong direction and get lost for hours going in circles against wind walls

[minor robin]

I jumped into vortex no question no hesitation : "haha Tgc ur having too much fun stressing me out."

[torn gust]

i only remember wasteland moth adventures clearly because of the crazy adrenaline i had

literal heart pounding

[empty river]

and there was this giant cloud dome in that area and i was like "hello???" "wheres the entrance????"

[crisp plinth]

I met a lovely person sky named Okalaka on my first time in gw. That's my only memory of it

[sand dawn]

First krill

[minor robin]

"just hit me with whatever horror u have in store--OH DEAR GOD WHO IS THE SOUND DESIGNER FOR KRILL"

[torn gust]

but also as a moth i was a little afraid to exit from dawn into prairie through the mountain so 😂

[hidden quarry]

it took me SO LONG to do wasteland

hated heading back

[crisp plinth]

I remember trying and failing to do gw gratitude for hours with my friends

[blazing sail]

I somehow ended up leading a new friend through the graveyard my first time. Even tho I had no idea where I was going

[crisp plinth]

We got it in the end

[torn gust]

omg gw gratitude spirit

[crisp plinth]

It was quite the journey lol

[blazing sail]

I think I went in circles a few times

[torn gust]

i am so excited to compare my moth struggles doing that quest to now (whenever it returns as a traveling spirit)

[hidden quarry]

2 moths are better than 1

[blazing sail]

Picked up the gratitude spirit’s light without knowing what it was

[crisp plinth]

Thinking back on it now it seems so easy but moth me was having so much trouble

[torn gust]

there was blood sweat and tears shed on that quest

[empty river]

sheer fear

[sand dawn]

I don’t think I even made it alone

[hidden quarry]

[worn field]

that one krill is already scary enough

[blazing sail]

I was kind of oblivious my first time in the wasteland

[hidden quarry]

i hated it

[blazing sail]

And then I learned after to be afraid

[crisp plinth]

I was scared of gw after finally getting that spirit

[hidden quarry]

completely forgot that i saved my spot every time so i would accidentally start from the beginning

[crisp plinth]

And that was back when we had to go to the temple for seasonal spirits too , no?

[torn gust]

yep

[blazing sail]

I never managed to get that spirit the right way. I was too scared. I finally gave up and just piggybacked on someone else’s work

[hidden quarry]

oh myy, forgot that was a thing

[sand dawn]

I kinda miss not taking spirits to the temple.. it’d be so nice to see them all sit in a circle

Should be a quest, gather all the spirits and take them to the temple (but maybe it’s a bit elaborate for a normal quest... )

[hidden quarry]

in my recent isle playthrough the spirits didnt appear at the temple so i thought they took it out or something...

[minor robin]

Oh going back to the rainbow, if it does show up on the same map as meditation rocks, I think a clock/loading bar indicator or some sort at that rock could be a good clue for the countdown

[spark lance]

They hinted the rainbow quest on Android users iykwim jk 😜

[hidden quarry]

haha..

[minor robin]

Meditation rock ain't going anywhere and is static

It could drum up curiosity if there is a visual change to it

[empty river]

but what if its not meditation day

[minor robin]

That's what worries me too lol

[worn field]

the moth confusion

[minor robin]

I think it would be streamlined if they were connected at least

[worn field]

it would be neat

maybe the spirit-gate to citadel could go rainbowy

[minor robin]

Cause at reset that's on the hour, people rush to meditation rock asap for messages, which could increase chances of them seeing the rainbow

Thus hint can spread via word of mouth

[empty river]

i am stumped

[crisp plinth]

Perhaps they could have multiple rainbows for whatever the quest is that day?

People will still rush to do them and see the rainbow

[minor robin]

If they see the meditation rock with an active loading bar of sorts, if they come back later to see it partially loaded, that's another clue I guess. Idk just spit balling before submitting feedback

Atm rainbow is on the hr, I think every 30min or 15min would be better.

[empty river]

or maybe just add a bunch of clocks everywhere

[minor robin]

Season of rainbow clocks

[worn field]

i had that thought too wyiott 🧠 (every 15 mins or 30mins or smth)
it would feel a little unnatural for the rainbow to appear/disappear that frequently, tho, so i'm on the fence about it

[blazing sail]

I’m gonna be so sad if the rainbow cape is like $20 instead of an ultimate cape gift

(I’m just guessing at there being a rainbow cape)

[minor robin]

If rainbow cape gives to a charity I don't mind.

[empty river]

we dont even know if there'll be a rainbow cape lol

[minor robin]

Ye ye

[blazing sail]

There has to be tho

[worn field]

if there is a rainbow item, i'm hoping for something less flashy than a rainbow cape

[blazing sail]

It’s the perfect opportunity for one

[worn field]

something subtle like the poppy flower

[empty river]

now if we're talking about rainbow pants

[crisp plinth]

As I said in game, rainbow cape would screw with sky aesthetic imo

[spark lance]

Sigh

[blazing sail]

Flashy rainbow bell bottoms

Disco ball hat

[spark lance]

I'll try to fix it.. It's my fault

[empty river]

yea come to think of it, rainbow cape could cause issues, maybe heating issues?

[crisp plinth]

Plus idk about another IAP during the covid relief iap

[blazing sail]

The capes are getting more and more intricate tho

[crisp plinth]

If there is one, perhaps it could be a pendant or something

[worn field]

CatsEye, fix what?

[empty river]

not friendship-is-magic intricate tho

[minor robin]

Oh I know... A white cape, but the fringe looks like belonging's gold one but is a rainbow. Subtle but nice

[elder meteor]

Why the citadel full of armillary spheres

[empty river]

bc

[spark lance]

CatsEye, fix what?
@worn field I literally no idea you guys are getting ready for pride month

That silly krill did it all

[crisp plinth]

We're discussing the new rainbow quests

And various ideas have been floating around for a pride rainbow IAP

[blazing sail]

Rainbow mohawk

[worn field]

i'm struggling to think of something that i feel really fits with sky's aesthetic

[slim kayak]

Rainbow instrument that shoots rainbows when you play

[crisp plinth]

Maybe not something that's rainbow colored, but has a rainbow theme?

[empty river]

rainbow staff?

[minor robin]

Another fireworks staff

[empty river]

wyiott u and i have the same braincell

[worn field]

the fireworks are alreay multicoloured. i should spam that during days of rainbow

[minor robin]

No but like different lighting effects

[spark lance]

Instead of a rainbow gradient it’s possible they could add a small rainbow hearts that act as the wing buffs on a white cape

[worn field]

regardless, i'd be fine if there isn't a new item

[empty river]

it shoots up a literal rainbow

[worn field]

the rainbow quest is great for celebrating pride month

[hidden quarry]

rainbow inside for your cape :0

[minor robin]

Yeah same here, not going to die or get mad if there's no iap

[crisp plinth]

Yeah tbh, just the quests are enough for me

[worn field]

i love how subtle it is

[crisp plinth]

Quests are free, so everyone can participate

[blazing sail]

Would be surprised if there isn’t a new item

[worn field]

the rainbow at home is lovely

[slim kayak]

Cape that makes a rainbow trail instead of clouds

[blazing sail]

It’s like the most obvious event to make a cosmetic for

[crisp plinth]

And I understand that not all people passionate about pride can afford IAPs to show it

[blazing sail]

Doesn’t have to be an IAP

[elder meteor]

A friend of mine said she would like to have an invisible tent ..like the invisible cape of harry potter

[crisp plinth]

How would the new item be distributed, if not through iap? Added to everyone's account?

[worn field]

kei, they could drop that in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived, tgc reads all the ideas there

[elder meteor]

I.see

[empty river]

questgiver gift maybe?

if that were to happen

[minor robin]

Days of love did give us those swing spells. I still have 3

[crisp plinth]

Ah yeah, days of love had qg gifts didn't it?

[hidden quarry]

havent used them :0

[spark lance]

It could be a gift given where there’s that small candle shrine (that gives event candles)

[crisp plinth]

I haven't used them yet either "saving them for later"

[slim kayak]

Ooo if there is a cosmetic, having quest giver gifts would be nice

[crisp plinth]

I'm never gonna use them

[empty river]

i will keep them forever

[worn field]

i wonder if days of rainbow will run at the same time as days of healing

or if days of healing will end first

[crisp plinth]

True veterans still have four swing spells left

[empty river]

when is days of healing ending again?

[worn field]

we don't know

[slim kayak]

Haha I "save" them knowing full well that I have the swing itself and will never use them

[worn field]

no exact date has been announced, afaik

[blazing sail]

Days of healing is like 35 days long

[worn field]

it is?

[minor robin]

Oh 2min till next rainbow appearance

[empty river]

the iap yea

pretty flower

[blazing sail]

The healing pack is available for 35 days

[worn field]

oh i missed that

[crisp plinth]

If there is a cosmetic I think it'd work better as something subtle

[blazing sail]

I think the idea is that if you’re gonna buy candles over the next month, you should buy those

[minor robin]

It is timed pretty well with the 2x heart event.

Some iap buffer, and next TS coming up too

[worn field]

donate to charity and give more hearts to friends

[spark lance]

Days of rainbow? What might that be?

[late temple]

Im experiencing "crash" on my game. Since yesterday on ios

Anywho experienced this

[empty river]

so anyways backflip man hates me

[worn field]

so unlocking some spirit items causes crashing now

i just crashed again without even trying to unlock anything

maybe my phone is just getting old

[empty river]

nah that's exactly what im looking at

doomed after purchase

[worn field]

rip

[empty river]

i wonder if other spirits break

like if i try to purchase something else

time to break my game

[worn field]

time to find out

[empty river]

does the rainbow at home not dissapear

[minor robin]

I’m hopping on to check on both

[empty river]

oh hi wyiott

[worn field]

oh i think the home-rainbow is always there

[minor robin]

we don’t sneep therefore rainbow does not sneep

[worn field]

👁️

i just unlocked a greater blessing from without crashing

[vapid briar]

I think there's a memory issue causing some crashes, needs a new build to fix.

[worn field]

[vapid briar]

but it should just be related to isle of dawn.

[worn field]

i crashed on backflip handstand level 3, too, Giccix

[vapid briar]

hrmm... toss it in the bug reports and i'll send it over in the morning.

[worn field]

will do

[vapid briar]

some in-development stuff in this beta build hadn't been fully vetted internally, so i'm not surprised there's some instability. focus was getting that fix for android out and tested so we could do that emergency hotfix to live.

[jovial remnant]

will wasteland crash be fix

[worn field]

tgc is working on it

hopefully it'll be fixed in time for the next major patch

[solar granite]

are we supposed to be able to see strangers message candles if they have < 4 likes on beta?

[crisp plinth]

Once they get three it should be visible to everyone

[stoic ocean]

Beta only has the rainbow at home correct?

[worn field]

there's a rainbow at home, and occasionally a rainbow in the valley of triumph

[stoic ocean]

But beta only/ it wasn’t patched in yet....?

[worn field]

yes, beta-only

[stoic ocean]

Coolio! Thanks

[worn field]

[solar granite]

ah i guess i incorrectly remembered it as 4. thanks!

[hard wharf]

i have a question

when will you become sky beta player?

[worn field]

you can become a beta tester next time TGC opens a wave of invitations

!betafaq

[gilded parrot]

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.
This command is for informational purposes only and not a replacement for beta slot alerts.

[hard wharf]

you can become a beta tester next time TGC opens a wave of invitations
@worn field thank youu, will this invitations will be send every end of season right?

[dark quail]

Rainbow?! :O

I'm excited!

[worn field]

@hard wharf invite waves do not happen every season. there's no schedule for invite waves, since tgc only invites more beta testers when they need more. at the moment their testing needs are being met.

[hard wharf]

i see, thank you so muchhhhh

[hollow wind]

I assume this rainbow event is gonna give us some sort of device that throws rainbows everywhere. Hopefully doesn’t encourage more griefers.😒

[vestal totem]

my friend seen a rainbow in forest so probably that? i tried finding it at a later hour but it didn’t show up

few weeks ago

[hollow compass]

the forest rainbow is connected to the clock there, at least the latest I heard

[slim kayak]

It shows up at 5 am/pm

[hollow compass]

PDT time

[vestal totem]

AW YIS THANK U

[silent lily]

So the orange light will come day after tomorrow

Right??

[hollow compass]

I can already tell how many questions of "when/where is rainbow" this new quest will generate, because nobody will read the instructions.

[bitter plover]

：） I was about to ask but then searched here and found answer:)

[spark lance]

Office, anyone?

[hollow compass]

what about the office?

[vale shale]

another rainbow quest for gw

[vapid drum]

WTH

It was at ark

[minor robin]

oh my god i must zoom

[vapid drum]

But disappeared after 9.05

[minor robin]

AW

[vapid drum]

I was just to late

😑

[vale shale]

rough

i made my way to the graveyard instead

[vapid drum]

I thought it lasted 10 minutes

[empty river]

it looks amazing with the current ark wow

[vapid drum]

Huh , after re-entering it appeared again 🤷‍♂️

[minor robin]

oh boy... 10min window is way too short.

I’m fresh from eden with 3 wedges, I super cannot make it in time

[vapid drum]

Took about 4 minutes to just get into that area with 10 wedges 😑

[minor robin]

hhhhhhh if the timed window stays a thing, can imagine people going early to camp there then showing up on time

[empty river]

so its not in the same area as the meditation spots

[minor robin]

still rough tho.

and yeah rip. maybe most aesthetically pleasing map then

[vapid drum]

So the bundle@is a placeholder at the time ??

[empty river]

the what

[vapid drum]

I didn’t wanted to scroll through a 1000 missed messages

At the rainbow it gave normal wax

The candle bundle

[minor robin]

yep it’s a red candle cake

[empty river]

oh candle bundle! i was thinking like something in the shop sorry lol

[minor robin]

can you check both ends? i didn’t get a chance to do that at citadel

[vapid drum]

Hahahahaha , got you excited 😆

[empty river]

very confused

[vapid drum]

There was only one bundle at the left

[minor robin]

ooo thank you for the confirmation

[vapid drum]

Oh sorry Giccix, about to get to work then my brain goes in overdrive

[fair current]

in valley rainbow candles appears every first 10 minutes of an hour

maybe in wasteland its the same?

[vapid drum]

Not this morning ? In valey

I checked between 8 and 9

9 is reset for me

[minor robin]

ohh so guess it only shows up where the quest giver is at

[vapid drum]

Now I’m lost

It was at the citadel wasn’t it ?

[fair current]

citadel or ark?

[minor robin]

yep, may 21st quest giver was in front of valley portal

[vapid drum]

Before reset it was citadel

[fair current]

21st it was in citadel

[minor robin]

may 21st, valley citadel
may 22nd, wasteland ark

[vapid drum]

😂

[fair current]

and quest giver stands in front of valley portal

[hollow compass]

I got it in citadel, but maybe an hour before reset. So it should be in Ark now.

[vapid drum]

Yes it’s at the ark now

So it’s every first 10 minutes after a whole hour ??

[fair current]

yup

[vapid drum]

I love this new quest 😍

Maybe cause it’s new

[minor robin]

great photo op on top of more wax

[fair current]

seems that the rainbow at home space has to do with rainbow quests

[dry pivot]

I think it has to do with the quest text

Yesterday the quest said the rainbow candles were in the valley, and today the quest says they are in the wasteland

[minor robin]

I’m not sure how to feel about the per hour thing. if someone works 9 to 5, plus commuting and making dinner and all that stuff

[dry pivot]

so that people would not look for candles at Home (tho I did)

[minor robin]

there’s only a few chances in the evening for them to get it

[fair current]

should last longer

[hollow compass]

Wyiott, that was my feedback also. It assumes players are available whenever.

[fair current]

like 30 or 45min

[dry pivot]

I let the team know the wait time on the rainbows missed the mark, we'll have changes in the next build.
from Ktjn

[hollow compass]

Ah. 👍🏻

[fair current]

oh great'

[minor robin]

aa good to know

[fair current]

[sharp temple]

Wait so do I need to find some rainbow CANDLES (if so, how do they even look like) or is it just "find the rainbow" quest?? I'm confused 😅

[dry pivot]

you need to find a particular candle bundle by the rainbow

it looks like a normal red candle bunches

[sharp temple]

Ohhh thanks

[fair current]

feels like the pot of gold by the rainbow

🤔

[sharp temple]

Haha kinda :))

Ugh is there like a full instruction on this rainbow event somewhere? Or should we figure it out ourselves?

[dry pivot]

i think the quest text is all we have for now

[sharp temple]

So there is no knowing about what time the rainbow appears?

[dry pivot]

no, but the time window will be changed in the next build

[sharp temple]

Ooh thanks for the info

[fair current]

its said that it will appear at the ark today

im waiting for that

[hollow compass]

On the hour for 10 mins.

@sharp temple ^^

[sharp temple]

Yes! I already saw the discussion above :)) Thanks for confirmation anyway!

[vale shale]

rainbow's back

[fair current]

hmst

i lighted it up

[vale shale]

candle bunch is behind the ark but i'm not getting the quest?

[fair current]

but quest didnt complete

[sharp temple]

Same for me :((

[dry pivot]

what it's already the time wish me luck

[fair current]

hmst

should be a bug

who can report it?

[empty inlet]

maybe, you?

[fair current]

🤔

[sharp temple]

Send it straight into beta feedback. I feel like that would be more effective

[dry pivot]

theres another passenger on the boat and we only have 2.5 minutes left lol

I made it in time but it was bugged for me too

[fair current]

sad

report it

the bug

[dry pivot]

yeah I will later

[fair current]

the time is gone

u need to wait until next hour

the first 10 mins of an hr

[short sigil]

Guys, does anyone know what the rainbow in the daily zone is?

[dry pivot]

see #beta-screenshots-videos but it only appears in the first 10 minutes of each hour

[short sigil]

Thansk> see #beta-screenshots-videos but it only appears in the first 10 minutes of each hour
@dry pivot

Ah, where can you report a bug in the live version, not in the beta

?

Is it under #live-feedback?

[dry pivot]

under #report-a-live-bug

or #bug-reports-android if you are using an Android device

[short sigil]

Thanks

[dry pivot]

sure

[cosmic ivy]

Are there any items available in the rainbow event? I’d like to know more about it ♥︎

[dry pivot]

we don't know about that

[light valve]

I want to ask, after you lit the rainbow candle, did you finish the task? I didn't finish the task.And I went there twice, but I didn't finish it,too.So is my friend. Is it a bug?

[full rock]

im confusing about it too

[light valve]

The first time I thought it was because I didn't arrive on time, so I just went there again on the hour, but still didn't finish the task.

[full rock]

[dry pivot]

it's a bug

it worked yesterday in the valley

[full rock]

its a new type of candles?

[dry pivot]

not it looks like normal red candle bundles

[full rock]

[dry pivot]

they appear and disappear with the rainbow

[light valve]

Maybe it's just a red candle under the rainbow.

Rainbow Candle for short

[full rock]

interesting

[light valve]

I even thought my network was stuck. Thank you for your answer.

[dry pivot]

sure now I will set my alarm again😂 for testing

[full rock]

i think they should let the rainbow stay longer

imma write a feedback

[dry pivot]

they will change that in the next build

[full rock]

o noice

[dry pivot]

also if you have suggestions on how they look or how they are called ig you should send them to #beta-feedback

[full rock]

ty

[dry pivot]

I let the team know the wait time on the rainbows missed the mark, we'll have changes in the next build.
from Ktjn

[full rock]

noice

[dry pivot]

yeah

[full rock]

the rainbow is amazing, i love it

[dry pivot]

Yes! It's so beautiful

[lunar zealot]

Is the rainbow only apparent on set times? I tried going earlier but i neither saw the rainbow or the candles

[full rock]

first 10 mins of an hour

[lunar zealot]

thank you

[full rock]

[dry pivot]

i wonder if the candles are the source of the rainbow

[lunar zealot]

i adore the home rainbow though, put more life into home space

[blazing sail]

I can already tell how many questions of "when/where is rainbow" this new quest will generate, because nobody will read the instructions.
What instructions? 😛

Oh this is gonna be rough. The next rainbow appears when my cat expects breakfast. 😛

[dire escarp]

Seems the wasteland rainbow trigger is broken,
Anyone able to complete the find rainbow today?

[dry pivot]

It seems all the ppl I met near the candle today couldn't, but ppl started reporting the bug 1 hour after the reset.
so maybe it worked in the first 10 minutes... or maybe not

[cloud karma]

What is the rainbow event? How does it work?

My gosh, you are still typing...

[kindred fossil]

shush

testing for the rainbow quests started yesterday, so we dont know yet what else is there in store. basically the quest asks you to find the rainbow candles, its not a new type of currency, its literally a red candle bundle at the end of a rainbow that appears every 1 hour for the first 10 minutes

[blazing sail]

And now it’s gone 😢

[cloud karma]

Is there a rainbow in every realm?

[kindred fossil]

nope, only the realm that has the quest

[cloud karma]

How about the forest rainbow? That one iz there every day

[kindred fossil]

irrelevant

[cloud karma]

Oki

Thanks

[kindred fossil]

no problem.

[rain token]

They need to add information about when the rainbow appears. Not all players in live will be on discord and will have no clue about the time

[spark lance]

I just summoned Someone

[kindred fossil]

even then i still think the little time it appears for is not all that good

[spark lance]

where's that person

[kindred fossil]

?

[blazing sail]

God I just had someone get hit twice by the krill while I was trying to do the spirit quest

[kindred fossil]

oof

[blazing sail]

Almost brought it on me too

Had to use the home trick

[acoustic moss]

🌈RAINBOW EVENT COMING SOON🌈
#Beta_Spoilers

I got this message before, what is it?

[left sparrow]

wait

in dms?

[radiant drum]

the # just sounds like a hashtag

not a channel

[acoustic moss]

Mmm

[kindred fossil]

yeah, its just a hashtag

[radiant drum]

at least, not a channel in this server

[acoustic moss]

No it was from a discord server I have with friends

Someone sent that message

[left sparrow]

oh

before it was announced?

[acoustic moss]

1 hour ago

[radiant drum]

Again, there is no such channel here. You can learn more about the event in #beta-announcements

and talk about it here

[kindred fossil]

could have copied it from somewhere else, its a hashtag, theres no channel such as beta-spoilers here

[acoustic moss]

Yea I understood that around 20 messages ago

[kindred fossil]

were you asking about the event itself, then?

[acoustic moss]

At first I was only asking for the channel

But then understood it wasn't a channel

[kindred fossil]

i roughly explained it a few messages ago:

testing for the rainbow quests started yesterday, so we dont know yet what else is there in store. basically the quest asks you to find the rainbow candles, its not a new type of currency, its literally a red candle bundle at the end of a rainbow that appears every 1 hour for the first 10 minutes

you can also check #beta-screenshots-videos & #beta-announcements

[keen cobalt]

Anyone knows where the rainbow candles in wasteland are?

[kindred fossil]

at the forgotten ark

[acoustic moss]

One random question, beta testers have a different client compared to the normal one right?

[kindred fossil]

yes, beta and live are separate

[keen cobalt]

Forgotten ark? Thanks 😊

[acoustic moss]

I wanna be beta tester :c

[blazing sail]

I still think it’s weird that the candles appear and disappear

It’s normal behavior for a rainbow, I guess, but not for candles

[dry pivot]

ig it's part of the rainbow

[blazing sail]

And if the candles stayed, at least there would be some indication you’re in the right place

[dry pivot]

and we know the candle bundles in Sky do move every day

[blazing sail]

Every day, not pop in for 10 min at a time lol

[dry pivot]

well I sent a feedback that the rainbow should stay for 24 hours

I think the hint idea is cool, but I love that we find a rainbow first then find a small treasure at the end of it, and I wish they'd keep it that way

[blazing sail]

If it stays for 24 hours, a hint is not as necessary

Since there’s only so many places it could be

[honest folio]

I was looking for the rainbow earlier without looking at the time
Not even one day and I already forgot they appear for a short amount of time every hour, I hope I won't be the only one struggling

[blazing sail]

A disappearing rainbow without a clue is not great

[kindred fossil]

i already missed it by a minute earlier, so having to wait the next hour, got distracted, and almost missed it again

[honest folio]

I-- literally missed it by a few seconds

[rain token]

Did anyone manage to complete the rainbow candle quest?

It won’t complete for me

[blazing sail]

No it’s broken

[kindred fossil]

yeah

[rain token]

Just checking it wasn’t only me

[blazing sail]

And I guess my wing run is on hold until it’s fixed bc I’m not doing that boat ride again today

[rain token]

I got my wings while I was there

Need to do rest of WL later tho

Don’t you have a save point at the ark @blazing sail

[blazing sail]

I do now

But if I go wing hunting, it’s gone

Seriously, Ark needs its own portal

[rain token]

At least they tested this before sending it to live. I just hope they also send over the micro chibi!

[full rock]

i feel lazy to go to ark, so farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[elder meteor]

Yep

Developer should be sleeping

check when they r at work

[spark lance]

I tried. A bug is there.

[kindred fossil]

uh what bug? theres plenty of bugs

[viral ginkgo]

OMG I hate this rainbow quest 🤦🏻‍♂️. A quest that shows up for ten minutes then disappears for an hour booo 😤

And 10 minutes to run through Wasteland come on.

[worn field]

@viral ginkgo Ktjn has heard our feedback that the timing isn't great, loud and clear. She already sent that feedback to the team, and there will be changes in the next build.
please remember that everything in beta is subject to change, and that since beta is a testing environment, it's expected that some of the things we test will be broken part of our job as testers is to help tgc identify what works and what's broken so the live game can be the best it can be

[viral ginkgo]

Yes I’m aware thank you, I just keep looking at the clock today, and realizing I missed again 😅. Sorry

[spark lance]

Actually, I wanted to test it out but life doesn't allow me to.

[dry pivot]

the candle quest was still bugged

[shell marsh]

I heard the islands at home in the distance is where the beta cutscenes were is that true?

In the live I mean

[dry pivot]

it's where the opening cutscene takes place

[shell marsh]

does the wind wall really go into infinity though

[dry pivot]

i don't know what you mean by that but I heard we can't reach there anymore

[shell marsh]

I mean how high is the wind wall

[dry pivot]

ah, I have no idea but maybe infinite

[spark lance]

Yo wut is that about rainbow event ???

[shell marsh]

ah ok. shame. thanks Mochi anyways. I'm still going to try though

[dry pivot]

No problem! Plz tell me and take bunch of photos if you made it through

[crisp plinth]

testing for the rainbow quests started yesterday, so we dont know yet what else is there in store. basically the quest asks you to find the rainbow candles, its not a new type of currency, its literally a red candle bundle at the end of a rainbow that appears every 1 hour for the first 10 minutes
Rainbow event 0.0

[spark lance]

Where is the rainbow ??

[crisp plinth]

We know there's one in citadel and ark so far

But just so ya know stuff is subject to change before it goes live

[spark lance]

Oki tnx

[hasty vessel]

@blazing sail i didn’t see those complaints but i can understand, it would have been nice if the game offered two variations for the pack

Majority of the items are more feminine which isn’t a bad thing but it would be nice to have more variation

[dry pivot]

gender is not binary so it's just some people like some items and others don't

[hasty vessel]

I’m still wearing the poppy because i really support the message behind it. But a feather or a golden twig would have been nice, no complaints from me though

[dry pivot]

And the flower looks the best on a bald head😂

[blazing sail]

I dunno, I just wear animal masks

[dry pivot]

A laurier crown in memory of cancelled olympic games🍃

[blazing sail]

There’s plenty of mustaches, beards, Mohawks....spiky hair

The pants are all very unisex

Capes are just capes.

[sand dawn]

@shell marsh the windwall in home stretches up infinitely, it used to be possible to go to the islands with table, long ago, but no longer.

[blazing sail]

Last season the ultimate hair might have been more feminine but this season is a turban

So I think there’s a pretty good balance.

Also you got a manbun!

[hasty vessel]

I dont think anyone’s tryna run around sky looking like guy faulks or Santa 😂 but they are an option and I appreciate that. But the hair is definitely more feminine, again not a bad thing i think me and some of my friends would appreciate more variation in that department, and this is not to undermine anyone’s experience of the game, I don’t mean any offence

[sand dawn]

Oh geez.. My quest didn’t trigger.. even though I found and lit the candles >~<

[worn field]

yes it seems to be bugged for everyone

[empty osprey]

did they fix the OOB for wasteland?

[high mantle]

Yep

Oh yes there no rainbow thinganynore

Time for continue my journey :)

[spark lance]

What's it with the rainbow at home, also me clicking 18 times to give candles to buy a node, and the rainbow candles?

[blazing sail]

Oh that is a new change, isn’t it? Having to tap for each candle? I thought maybe I just forgot or something

[spark lance]

Oh ok but what's a rainbow candle

[blazing sail]

Check the #beta-announcements

[high mantle]

Almost die lmao

By monster

[spark lance]

Ohhh ok

I didn't get any nots from there

That's why

[lusty light]

They chose a white poppy for the pack because it’s a symbol of peace and remembrance

Is the rainbow event about the Pride month? Or completely separate?

[worn field]

we don't know yet, but that's a good guess

[lean drift]

Okay. It would be nice if it was.

[blazing sail]

I doubt they would say explicitly

[dry pivot]

at least they wouldn't in game

[sonic vine]

Hi, how did you get a beta version? I wanna join it too🥺😬

[plain swallow]

are we supposed to collect things through the rainbow at home?

[dire escarp]

FYI found the trigger location for completing today's rainbow quest, see #beta-screenshots-videos

[plain swallow]

ah thank you

[vapid briar]

updates in #beta-known-issues

[vapid drum]

Must be nice , being a rainbow candle ..........only 10 minutes of work every hour . wonder what it does in its spare time

Is the rainbow supposed to disappear after touching it ?

[dire escarp]

But it's 10 minutes work every hour every day...
Imagine only having 50 minutes to sleep

[vapid briar]

has anyone encountered an issue with being unable to open the friend constellation in this current beta build?

[empty inlet]

not yet

[lunar zealot]

No issues here. Just checked

[vapid drum]

No problem for me neither on the friend constellation

Sleep is for the wicked

[plain swallow]

nope

[empty river]

all good with the friend constellation too

[worn field]

i've been able to see the friend constellations ok too

[blazing sail]

Glad the candle purchase thing is a bug and not an intentional change.

[kindred fossil]

yeah, imagine it with the invisible cape

tickticktick into eternity

no issues with the friend constellation here either

[blazing sail]

I have a problem with lighting friend stars in portrait mode

[kindred fossil]

the UI is in the way, but i still can if i zoom out or in

[blazing sail]

Hmm

[empty river]

oh riight i forgot about the ui

one (1) problem with friend constellation 😅

[worn field]

can open it, it's just a little funky to work with sometimes

[empty river]

yea its not really giving me any trouble but its still bugged

[worn field]

yeah

the only thing i've had difficulty with is lighting a friend's candle in portrait mode, otherwise it doesn't make much difference

[dire escarp]

Has anyone seen the effects of the "ghosted stranger table"?

[kindred fossil]

yep

[crisp plinth]

Table placed by strangers? Yes

[dire escarp]

I've not seen enough people in beta who I don't know

[empty river]

i have not seen a table 😔

[worn field]

i posted a video in #beta-screenshots-videos a while ago

[kindred fossil]

i can post a video

[worn field]

it got buried in rainbows

[dire escarp]

@kindred fossil that would be useful, just link it if you've already uploaded and I'll search it

[worn field]

vid of me ghosting through someone's table:
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/618891214527266846/712517864107671593

[dire escarp]

@worn field oh nice

I imagined a spirit table, like the spirit memories, blue and see through

[empty river]

the color change is distracting

[kindred fossil]

i met a stranger by chance and we tested it together

[worn field]

wow it's so much more noticable at night

[dire escarp]

Nice one dark, did you guys try sitting at your respective tables and see each others chat?

[kindred fossil]

oop, nope

[worn field]

you shouldn't even see the "sit" icon

i didn't

[kindred fossil]

no, at our own, to see if table merging worked

[dire escarp]

Sorry I mean if dark sat at his, and the stranger sat at theirs

[worn field]

ohhh i see

i should think more before i type

[kindred fossil]

but we didnt, i never thought of it

nah you gud

[dire escarp]

@worn field not hard to explain, and if it's easy enough to be misconstrued,makes sense to explain

But you answered another question, I assumed as it was ghosted you couldn't sit there either

Would be interesting to see what happens if you both place taes then light each other, if the effect then stops and the tables solidify / corporealize

[kindred fossil]

oh, think i got that recorded too

didnt sit down at their table in the video, but the icon appeared after i lit them

[dire escarp]

@kindred fossil OMG that worked so smoothly, my concerns are eased, but I'll bet there will be troubles in live when there are a bunch of players with different tables, hope not though

[kindred fossil]

literally a ghost town but with tables

[blazing sail]

It’s a little strange that the whole point of tables is to be able to chat with strangers and now you can’t really

Also, if they’re doing this, please remove the timer on the table/campfire?

[empty river]

cof #beta-feedback cof

[vapid briar]

they can still be strangers, it's not terribly hard to light someone up. we wouldn't have to make changes like these if people wouldn't grief others in the first place.

somethingsomethingthisiswhywecannothavenicethings

[lusty light]

I will write my feedback on the table changes

[empty river]

In a perfect world where people didn't cause grief, tablecoptering could still exist 😔

[lusty light]

Tablecoptering was bad even without griefing

There’s no way they’d just let us have a tool that lets you break through wind walls no issues

[blazing sail]

Also, I often hit the campfire button by accident or just place it poorly and then have to wait just to be able to remove it. It’s silly.

[dire escarp]

Even if doing it is as complex as coordinating 3 players table surfing and is extremely unlikely to be done "accidentally"?

[lusty light]

Accidentally isn’t an issue when you can just Leave the map

[blazing sail]

If something is being put into place to stop the griefing, couldn’t we get our old non-cooldown tables back?

Why should I have to leave the map just to remove my campfire?

[lusty light]

there was really no limit to how far you could go with tablecoptering and it would eventually get so unstable the game would just give out

[vapid briar]

It's complicated, and we set ourselves up for a struggle because we want a smooth gaming experience for people who have zero desire to ever do out-of-bounds things and supporting our prolific oob community at the same time.
We don't nerf things because we want to ruin anyone's fun, we want to protect people from being abused by others with poorly intentioned behavior and their sense of "fun" is to ruin others' enjoyment of the game.

[lusty light]

Also whenever you went through a wind wall it was Loud and everyone could hear it no matter how close you were to them

[rain token]

Are we going to get to keep micro chibi mode?

[dire escarp]

Yes this is what I mean by having complex enough bugs that they would be hard to ruin others enjoyment

@lusty light oh I didn't realise everyone could hear it even if they weren't close to the windwall

[lusty light]

It was basically the you hit a wind wall sound on loop very loud for everyone in the level to hear

[kindred fossil]

isnt micro chibi already ded, i used a shrink spell today and it did nothing

[blazing sail]

Oh nooooo

[rain token]

We need something to compensate for the terrible loss of seeing other players when you honk, it feels desolate all the time now 😱

[dire escarp]

The sound positioning seems more the bug than the windwall traversal imho

[vapid briar]

how were you able to achieve the micro chibi thing? i was fiddling with the shrink spells and couldn't replicate it.

[lusty light]

You just used it and it worked

[blazing sail]

Just used shrink spell

[lusty light]

I got a video using the spell

[rain token]

Micro chibi was THE BEST THING EVER

[dire escarp]

@vapid briar I believe it was chibi and shrink

[quick oriole]

It was literally just the spell

[blazing sail]

And get even tinier with chibi mask + shrink spell

[quick oriole]

Too easy

Wait no that sounded like I was mean crap

[lusty light]

Also @dire escarp wind wall traversal wasn’t fun lol I remember doing it for like a half hour (we were trying to get somewhere very far) and my game was running at 1 FPS and my iPad was burning up

[empty river]

oof i didnt know it was that op

[lusty light]

Like it seems cool in theory but there’s really nothing out there and it’s just a mess

[rain token]

We ran Eden as micro chibis 🤣

[dire escarp]

@lusty light yes, though later, we tried doing it with grandma Belonging spirit in beta when she went on holiday

[blazing sail]

It was very buggy

[rain token]

But great fun tho

[dire escarp]

Also seeing the intro rocks at home would be nice

[quick oriole]

just let me travel past wind walls in Eden I want to explore the prime real estate

[rain token]

Really challenging, revitalised the game for me

[lusty light]

But then you still run into the issue of crashing bc of the wind walls actively trying to force you out

[empty river]

oh there's a lot thats not limited by windwalls in Eden

a lot of void that is

[dire escarp]

@quick oriole use the clouds for pre-no return Eden, then orbit, there are hardly any windwalls

[lusty light]

It’s impossible to do now even if you managed to somehow sit in a wind wall bc the wind wall makes you stand up instead of you being stuck in the chair

[quick oriole]

I know it’s the dream that shall never be

[blazing sail]

Anyway, once the cooldown was added I gave up on ever becoming a table-placing expert

I dunno how people have patience for it now

[quick oriole]

It’s possible just...takes patience

Yeah

Placing it in the air and trying to land on it really tests the flying skills

[rain token]

I hate to say it but for me the game is become less and less about the social aspect as the best parts of the social elements keep getting nixxed

[dire escarp]

Yes I still love doing that in the clouds between Isle and prairie

[kindred fossil]

ive gotten better at landing on it thanks to the mushrooms lololol

[quick oriole]

I felt like a boss when on the last day before the mushrooms were removed I was able to place the bonfire under the oob ones and land on it all on the first try after weeks of trying before

Then I couldn’t replicate it at all so

Luck

[kindred bluff]

is the stranger table (ghost table) a privacy measure?

[radiant drum]

Nevermind that windwall glitching would cause horrible noise for anyone in-bounds in the level, and not everyone cared to be in an empty instance when doing it

[vapid briar]

BIG MEGA DISCLAIMER: no promises, but maybe the mushrooms will return as an easter egg some day, though probably not award candles.

[quick oriole]

Hope we still get the “You found a mushroom!” message tho

[kindred bluff]

yesss

[lusty light]

Ktjn maybe you should bold no promises

[empty river]

and underline it

[kindred bluff]

and italic font it

[lusty light]

No it’s “You found a Mushroom!” You can’t forget the double space

[kindred fossil]

at least something similar, id love to practice landing more

[vapid drum]

The stranger table fix is a good one , never had any grief from a stranger joining my convo , but I usually just want a private conversation with a player without being interrupted

[vapid briar]

how bout that? lol

[radiant drum]

You found a Mushroom!

[empty river]

it'll do

[quick oriole]

Also the table thing isn’t for privacy, it’s for griefing cause people will place them over other players/closets/doors

[kindred bluff]

ohhh

[radiant drum]

It can be both though

[kindred bluff]

ive never experienced rhat before

[quick oriole]

So now if they’re a stranger you can just be like “Lol you tried”

[lusty light]

I just don’t think the flashing is a good idea and I think that the table should just be gray like shadows

[kindred bluff]

that sounds awful

[vapid drum]

And they wont be able to read it

[radiant drum]

Just make it glow like the old glow spell EZ clap

[empty river]

the flashing makes my eyes feel weird

[kindred fossil]

no pls

[kindred bluff]

i havent gotten a glow spell since the update for the glow spell

[lusty light]

The flashing could be very distracting to ppl who don’t really care about the table

[lunar zealot]

Mirian that’s cursed

[kindred bluff]

i havent seen the new glow spell yet :((

[vapid briar]

it's a slow pulse, not actual flashing, which i just learned today, haha.

[kindred fossil]

the winged light has turned into a table

[blazing sail]

While we’re nerfing strangers, can we just not see all the little dots on our screen from people we can’t chat with?

[radiant drum]

Watching the video in #beta-screenshots-videos seems flashy enough lol

[kindred bluff]

yeah!

[kindred fossil]

its more visible at night

[radiant drum]

oop wrong channel

[pulsar edge]

#beta-screenshots-videos

[kindred bluff]

@blazing sail ive wanted that to be a thing especially since we cant really.. read their messages in the first place

[vapid drum]

Nice , its like a hue light lamp

[empty river]

i like those actually, it makes the game feel more alive imo

[blazing sail]

@blazing sail ive wanted that to be a thing especially since we cant really.. read their messages in the first place
@kindred bluff And if we really really must see those dots for some reason, we can open the chat log

[lunar zealot]

It’s odd though App. If you’re the host of a chat table, and you sit on it, all shadows and / or people you don’t have chat with goes away (like chat bubbles)

[pulsar edge]

I think the moths might be even more confused than they already are if it was completely gone

[kindred fossil]

[vapid briar]

that's a separate ask, best for #beta-feedback channel

[lusty light]

Some person minding their own business in home
Table: hello yes I am here please look at me

[kindred bluff]

may we lift the questgiver

[radiant drum]

it pulses so it's like look at me** look at me** look at me **look at me **

[lusty light]

Moving the quest giver is also a bad idea

What about the people who wanna actually talk to it

They won’t know where it is

[vapid drum]

It’s hard to get the quest button at the quest giver as it is

[vapid briar]

yeah it's meant to draw attention that hey, here's someone new to maybe make friends with.

[kindred fossil]

yeah, ive seen bug reports about it being in the air, those players didnt know the QG was being bridged

[empty river]

it is i the table

[pulsar edge]

It only moves the quest giver for people who are already in the area when they start, so you can leave and come back, and it’ll put it back to the regular position, even if you get matched with the same people

[kindred bluff]

i mean, if you join a server and the questgiver was brought in the air by someone else the questgiver would be on the floor

yeah @pulsar edge thats what i tried to say you said it better 😔

[blazing sail]

Also

[radiant drum]

new sky challenge: instance with 8 people, you gotta find the owner to make it stop flashing- that's if they wanna light your candle lol

[blazing sail]

We still have no way to open the chat log without text on the screen

[kindred bluff]

yup

[blazing sail]

I feel so rude when I look away and have to speak to see what I missed

[pulsar edge]

That’s just annoying, and part of the reason why I’m not the biggest fan of this. I get to a table of three people. Who do I go to to get lit?

[quick oriole]

Sometimes works for me when tapping the chat button on the bottom left corner

Idk what makes it work though

[vapid drum]

Cant you just open chat without typing and [press your bubble app

[pulsar edge]

Also I don’t want to have to interrupt their conversation in order to join in

[blazing sail]

That just opens the keyboard for me

[vapid drum]

When the keyboard is open , you can tap your bubble

[quick oriole]

Most of the time it’s the same for me but occasionally it opens the chat log

[lusty light]

Aren’t you interrupting before that by just randomly inserting yourself into the convo

[blazing sail]

Im not sure that works

Pretty sure I’ve tried that

[pulsar edge]

I’m not literally making them stop taking tho

[vapid briar]

this is why we have beta...and feedback channels... so y'all can like...post in them and stuff

[radiant drum]

I mean it's not really interrupting you're just joining

[kindred bluff]

• make the stranger chat bubbles uninteractable, but visible
•add a "open chat log" instead
ill add this in im just seeing how it writes out beforehand

[blazing sail]

I guess when something doesn’t change after this long I just figure it won’t? 😛

[static glade]

For days of rainbow, will there be any packs coming along with it or not?

Like one with a cape

[quick oriole]

[static glade]

I feel like I read cape somewhere here or not idk

[vapid drum]

It still works @blazing sail

[radiant drum]

I'm not sure what device that is but there is definitely not a chat icon when my keyboard is open on iphone

[blazing sail]

Or I just figure they know it’s an issue by now

[vapid briar]

I guess when something doesn’t change after this long I just figure it won’t? 😛
that's a really bad outlook tbh. it depends on a number of factors as to why something does or doesn't change after x amount of time.

[lusty light]

The devs aren’t psychic 😛

[kindred fossil]

@static glade testing for event quests just started, we dont know yet

[static glade]

Ok thank you

[pulsar edge]

How often did the table trolling happen anyway?

I see it only rarely

[kindred bluff]

ive never seen it other than "lift up the traveler or questgiver with a bunch of people"

[vapid drum]

Ktjn, did you ever get a reply of why the vault isnt on the office story board ?

[kindred bluff]

and new people who just joined the servers would just see a giant stack of tables but the questgiver/traveler on the floor

[lusty light]

Didn’t vault not exist back then

[radiant drum]

Recently i've been encountering lots of people that think it's funny to put a campfire to drop you in the water during the ark transition

[vapid briar]

storyboards are just for ideas and concepts, they're not feature complete.

[kindred bluff]

ohh

i tried to do that with myself

[quick oriole]

How does a campfire move you to the water?

[pulsar edge]

At a certain point, if it doesn’t happen that often, isn’t “go into any portal then port back home” a good enough fix?

[vapid briar]

there's tons of stuff on those existing storyboards that never made it into the final game.

[lusty light]

You’re sitting on the boat, the boat moves, the campfire doesn’t move, the campfire pushes you off the boat

[empty river]

maybe it doesnt happen often to you, and you are one of millions of players

[radiant drum]

I'm not sure how exactly it works but when the boat moves you stay behind fall

[kindred fossil]

if it didnt happen to you that doesnt entirely mean it didnt happen at all

[quick oriole]

Ohhh makes sense

[radiant drum]

Sometimes you land on top of the campfire, but if not you stay in the water losing flame

[blazing sail]

Ok done

[radiant drum]

And stars if you're unlucky

[kindred bluff]

i wanna do that to myself but i was never successful

dw i wasnt with anyone the times i did do it

[blazing sail]

Also... I’m disappointed that my report that I could hear music while recording in the ark let to them removing it instead of adding it everywhere else 😂

[dire escarp]

I assume campfire, as its so low, you hit the log and it pulls you back/ keeps you static as the boat moves on

[kindred bluff]

at least i can play my music really high up in the sky and nobody can land on my campfire huh

[vapid briar]

we try to make changes based on data, not just anecdotal evidence. the logical fallacy of "it never happened to me, so obviously this isn't a widespread problem" is a really dangerous point of view, not just about the game, but life in general.

[pulsar edge]

@blazing sail the thing is it wasn’t just recording. It would make the music play through my music

[vale shale]

heart mushrooms 👍

[kindred bluff]

i just didnt know that was a thing

[dire escarp]

Friday game philosophy

[kindred bluff]

ive never seen anything happen so i never knew it was a problem in the first place lmao

[dire escarp]

This is why I like spoilers, if one person finds a thing, others can use it to find other things

[blazing sail]

@blazing sail the thing is it wasn’t just recording. It would make the music play through my music
@pulsar edge Yeah the best solution would be just a music toggle for when we do/don’t want to hear it

[kindred bluff]

yess

we need more social and game toggles

i think

[blazing sail]

Sometimes I’m in the mood for the music and sometimes I’d like to just hear the birds and wind and rain

[kindred bluff]

yeah!

[blazing sail]

And with my videos I don’t even have the choice. They’re just really quiet

[kindred bluff]

there is a toggle for ingame chat on my ipad in settings but it doesnt do nuthin when i toggle it

usually, if im on a discord call the music for some areas just.. dont exist

mostly valley

but it makes the sfx crusty

[lusty light]

Crusty? Sjdjsk

[radiant drum]

On iOS bgm is muted when you're listening to external audio, so for now the trick to disable music is play a silent file lol

[kindred bluff]

ohhh

neat!

[radiant drum]

i think we have a file pinned in #sky-music

[kindred bluff]

24 hours of silence

[vapid briar]

the team is working on adding QoL things like toggles, but it's a major undertaking to rewrite the whole system.

[lunar zealot]

It’s pinned in #questions-and-help Mirian

[sand dawn]

That’s amazing news

[radiant drum]

are you sure?

[empty river]

i dont see it

in either of those channels

[lunar zealot]

Yes. Last time it was there

[radiant drum]

giccix and em look better lol

[empty river]

[sand dawn]

Are there plans to do something about the camera automatically moving?

[lunar zealot]

Haha it was moved

[empty river]

[blazing sail]

I’m surprised that it’s not easier to make the music toggle since the game already knows how to remove it.

[empty river]

well ya should've start with that jsjsjs

[dire escarp]

@sand dawn possibly if enough people put it in feedback 😊

[vapid briar]

just because it looks or sounds easy, doesn't mean it's easy to implement.

[kindred bluff]

honestly i thought it was a joke cause i didnt know an audio file shut off the music

[radiant drum]

it's real haha

ktjn just tell the code it's like playing external audio

[empty river]

flip the switch smh

[dire escarp]

@vapid briar
Basically this...
https://xkcd.com/1425/

[lusty light]

Yeah just go {musictoggle} [on] it’s that easy

[dire escarp]

Then adding it to the UI, and making sure it works with queued music files and not sound effects

Then making sure no bugs exist when you turn it off then on

[vapid briar]

The team is tiny so the people who are working on upgrading features based on feedback are the same people who are making fresh new content. Imagine if we stopped all content development to solely focus on feature improvements, the community would be breathing down our necks about how dull and boring the game is and how stale the content is and why don't we add new zones and levels and cosmetics and and and and.... The team has to strike a balance between new content and improving existing content.

[lusty light]

No to fix that you just go bugs=no

[kindred bluff]

Water . Earth . Fire . Air . Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked

[dire escarp]

@lusty light dammit I keep missing that line of code

[blazing sail]

Ideally, I like to see music/sound sliders in a game but the music in sky is low enough that it might be overkill

[radiant drum]

except valley
