No yet, the team are on holiday today so we will know this week hopefully
Nope the team deserves a break just as everyone else 🙂
if it fixed on its own we could see it today
we don't really know what kind of bug it is
the quest completion is bugged
not cras
se bug reports
crash*
see
just server errors
the team deserves a good break, so we can spend all day long preordering season pass
I’m trying to get 10k then screenshot hahahahaha
Lol
Hahaha
lolol
Ok
It always prompts me that the server connection error
Same for everyone @glass coyote
Just report it, with your 10k candles screenshoot of course haha !
The season of enchantment ended?
in beta yes
I thought we had a couple more days before it ends
I get the point
Hahaha
Hahahaha everyone at home is maxing out candles 🤣 I hear the sound of bought pass everywhere.
my seasonal candles got converted multiple times in the middle of season, this is revenge 
That’s a buttload of candles
pfft... im at 5k
I’m two seasons in beta and I’m seeing rich sky kids
Developers distract from the fact that the quest does not work. 😆
And the cutscene
beta is going to implode
yeah 😂
And the cutscene
@safe swan
great
I already have 2400 candles
@glass coyote hahahahaha you guus are fast.
How many passes does that makes ?
This is a very significant loophole
80
Hahaha nice !
I didn’t get to see the cutscene
@safe swan
I don’t think anyone did. Season ended when the next quest happened. Weird thing that never got resolved on time with Memorial Day and all
I know everyone didn’t see the cutscene because it’s like winter but without the ultimate reward
There were people in beta who got to see the rhythm/winter cutscene because they bought the owl hair before it became the top ultimate gift in the quest giver’s tree. We just couldn’t see this one because the cutscene is tied to finishing the light quests, yet the last light quest became available right when the season ended
Wait what is the point of getting seasonal passes now? My seasonal candles were already converted... will they be converted again?
If they don’t take them back then they’ll be converted after the next season is concluded
for infinite currency i suppose
@prisma quiver 😳 oh that would be interesting
What happen!? but thanks lol
?
New to the party too 
So... What blew up?
stonks
And how fun was said blow up?
No. Please end it. I have enough
Actually I have an amount. I was waiting it to stop
Hahaha
Boring
I have forgotten the animation after the end of the season! It really disappeared!
its tied to the light quests
and since we cant finish it, we wont see it until at least next week, once its live
@spark lance i suppose it won't until you stop
I saw six light orbs whenever I resumed game in Ark. They hover above the quest giver and then disappear.
Hahaha
what's happening in Beta? season ended but you can pre-order the seasonal pass again, and you get a ''server error'' when you try to return the orange light to the spirit in the Ark. Assuming this is a bug
correct, both are bugs
Just curious
What holiday is it?
Memorial Day
Ahhh, thanks
hi qwq
The devs coming back to see the beta servers: 🔥
☕ 🔥
Anyone know off hand, Is this season 6 that just finished?
They'll just be happy to see people online 
it depends on where you start counting
So the season has ended but no final orb challenge? Plus no cutscene? Anybody else have this problem?
we all have that problem
Wow
Actually, I'm assuming 5. The game's throwing out Could not find outfit option: season_pass_06 errors
it was the fifth season if we consider repeated seasons as one each
what a surprise!!!
Wait what
you should be able to find the orange light though
But we never tested it
we just cannot see the cutscene
it's in the ||forest||
in the area where there were seasonal candles
Is spoil if not exist? 
Hey if you pre order the pass unlimited candles!!!
yep
We know dont worry
Wow
sweats
try not to abuse way too much though
I just woke up so I'm now know thia
Good morning bro
Ty
All in the name of testing 
I just wanted 2 see if there was cap at 1000, i was wrong, i was very wrong
haha i only bought it once
...they laughed....they all laughed! Well who's king of friendship-land now?!!!
Testers*
They will probable be reversed , the seasonal candles
Being king of friendship land gets u more hugs and unprotected handolding

#104 - Mochi-Daifuku: Once.
Think how many fancy non-existent necklaces they gonna have 
I already had many candles from the season😂 hope it wont get all wiped away
👀
the ones you had didnt convert?
Actually, I'm assuming 5. The game's throwing out Could not find outfit option: season_pass_06 errors
@quaint onyx where did you get this? when you purchased the pack?

ic thank you
@willow sage i mean I had many seasonal candles now converted to normal ones
oki
lol
I tapped too fast and my game keeps crashing bro
🤔
Time to continue eating breakfast
so the pass pack is available because it's actually offering a new season_pass_06 which we don't have, and stays available because we don't get season_pass_06
Ok so pink cape and white cape spirits crash when trying to scroll up options
It offers me an enchantment necklace
And my enchantment candles were gone but not added to my normal candles
Bugs....
Reporte,,,,
draptap found out it's actually offering a necklace for the next season
did you tap the normal candle icon on the top left? it didn't add up for me until I tapped the candle
Oh wait, this is season 6
HSHAHA
I don't see it, i only see the enchantement one :0
Well, more problems I guess 
WHAT
rhythm and winter pendants may have been different
Is there a necklace for the the next season ?
no looks like it wasn't the case
Oki
Do you think all these enchentement candles will convert into the next season's candles ?
No they convert to regular candles when the season finishes.
but the season is already over
Oh yeah! They didn’t convert? They are supposed to
Now the candle obtained through this loophole belongs to the magic season
they did
the candles we got during the season were converted successfully (for me)
and now there are adventure pass packs available in IAP shop
No no no
Yes me too thinking about it. Did they not convert for you, Marie?
I am talking about candles obtained through unlimited pre-orders
iirc there is only one kind of seasonal candle system wise
if they were not converted, then you can use them for the next season
the symbol on the candle will change
I think the staff will take them back
So take a screenshot now to commemorate it!🤣🤣
I own 5000 candles! Hahaha



seasonal candles that didn't convert after season of rythm carried over to season of enchantment
yeah I got some carried over
everybody gonna be decked out on day one 
Is the glitch still not fixed
nope
Or is tgc doing this on purpose
neither
Season of enchantment will end Today
it ended in beta today
So now we'll wait for another week. Nice :)
days or weeks we do not know
It will come in live next Monday
if the bug turned out to be really difficult to be fixed and will bound to happen in live, they will push it further in live too
Hmmmm. I really hope that doesn't happen
My patience is screaming.

Now what about the candlez?? They didn't change, right??
yeah
Magic candles.
So, may I leave the program?
Did you get to see the season's end cutscene?
It's bugged
I can't test it like before due to life issues. So. I'm sorry.
Did you get to see the season's end cutscene?
I don't
Nada 
So what actually happened?? Did it just ended like "poof" and everything gone.
hum?
The ending just hasn't happened yet 
what that means
Yeah, what does that mean?
The season has ended, right??
I need a really good teacher to guide you know since I'm real noob rn.
Until tomorrow's patch
@quaint onyx ok
The final animation has not yet been turned on
So I think there's extra time
Until tomorrow's patch.✓
Maybe not tomorrow
Guess what?
Servers are experiencing issues ;-;
Right when I was about to tap the Orange Light's cutscene ;-;
YouTube time 
Ikr
yeah 
did- did I miss the final cutscene again?
I dont think any of the YouTubers have posted anything about it yet
ah
@dry pivot I guess we keeping em yay no more grind ever again
@dry pivot after next season ends lol
grinding in beta means testing, so I am not sure if you could keep them this time
@dry pivot I will still do all the daily quests just not running to each candle everyday
people may have hundreds of seasonal candles when the next season starts
i think there will be less people do daily quests if thy could complete the constellation on day 1
@dry pivot i personally don't think so 🤔
but that's the reason why we do not have candle packs sold in beta
maybe you will do the dailies, but people including me will be far less motivated to do daily quests if we had enough candles already
I am just saying there's a reasonable chance those seasonal candles will be wiped out. Maybe it won't, but we just don't know.
This is basically how the US economy works. Just print money. 😛
Lol
It's fine, I understand beta is different. I just having the curiosity to learn the whole game and test for bugs.
anyone know what the orange light is gonna do yet?
not yet

"This Spirit cries for
Orange Light. They offer warmth in times of cold."
probably
"they"? my bet is on mantas!
Ok
I thought they were butterflies but they aren't consistent with fire?
It's warmth
could be butterflies too, both are found in forest 
Friends are the mantas, they are the warmth hence the orange light.
Forest rains are cold.
I understand.
Is it candlelight?
I’m afraid it will only lit the lanterns 😑 maybe the sun will shine after the orange light and the whole place will be like an oasis in the desert with trees and stuf.
I'll leave for giving troubles.
I can't finish the final quest, it keeps saying 'Server Error'. 
thank god we have beta to test the quests
imagine if a bug like this hit live
yeah
that's probably it
How would I know if I got chosen to be a beta tester
There'll be a post in #beta-announcements when beta slots open
It's first come first serve
so uh, rip the light quest 
Ikr
on the bright side I am now the owner of a lot of seasonal candles 
no Im rich cos I spam-bought passes :v
Lol I saw someone with 20k seasonal candles
so it's not only the orange light quest that was bugged
I was wondering about that but thought everyone have already completed purple
until I saw your bug report
The bugs extinguished our flame
🚒🧯

what's up with people having thousands of seasonal candles
mine converted to normal candles just fine
they are from the shop
you can purchase the pass infinitely
Yeah but those don’t do anything
yeah but probably because that won't affect the testing
I doubt they’ll let us keep thousands of free candles
rip that one person that got 20k then lol
Though it would be nice to never have to farm candles in beta again ever
it is nice😄
I would help to have free candles in beta once in a while
I don't have time to farm candles both in live and beta
Agreed
It’s not like we can’t test whether candles/darkness are still working if we need to
I wish they’d give us some free ascended candles
I seriously can’t stomach eden anymore
Not just eden but collecting all my wings after
It’s too much
something something testing the economy
I signed up to test and help out with bug reporting, but if the thing to test requires a bunch of candles, then can't help 
I mean, I never even get to test new friend emotes in beta bc I never have enough ascended candles to use with friends
Miss the developer so much
???
where did they go
oh yea today
Finally I saw someone got to 100k candles
Well i dont need much candle in beta though
That new feature about stranger's tables/bonfires/swings, never got to test that cause no one is pulling them out lmao
I barely see anyone at beta home anymore
I couldn’t even find people to light up yesterday for the quest
i got to test the tables by chance
and i had 1 table spell on me, which i got on that same day earlier
...and theyre all spam buying the pass 🤣
I've stopped now I'm at 1500 exactly 👌
Real special bonding moment, standing next to someone in game and watching the white particles appear around each other again and again 
and speeeeeen
Most annoying thing is those surveys that keep popping up on the side whenever you make a purchase 😂
I stopped trying at about 30 passes. but yeah it's actually letting people spam buy. the candles aren't converting and devs probably won't let anyone keep them though
the surveys will keep popping up if you ignore taking them, but if you actually did take them (which are only two), they wont again
Yeah it's fun to spam buy, I don't mind having them removed as I'm not buying anything in beta anyways
I dont mind either, but this is like playing one of those clicking games 
kinda relaxing
I'm not using auido audio rn
Does that sound play every time you buy the pass? The one that plays when you redeem quests
I’ve heard that capeless was confirmed as a joke item? And is not and was not ever intended to be fully released. Is this correct?
Currently they are not intending for it to be released, it is just a beta easter egg
It's meant to be a silly item and prohibitively expensive, which is why there was a 99 Ascended Candle lock tied to it as well as the 999 Heart cost. Not having a cape and being able to fly is immersion breaking and exposes some of the rigging wonkiness of the skykid character model. For the time being, it is only a beta easter egg.
From ktjn
Thank you for the quote
I believe this was horribly communicated and I feel like there are a bunch of people who just got wrecked out of an item they spent heaps of money on.
Myself being one
Rip and F
How'd you spend heaps of money on it?
!betacost
Everything in beta is free, so nothing in the in-game store costs actual money.
On packs to trade constantly for hearts
And there are no candle packs anyways
Well
In preparation for release
Quite a few things in beta you can’t depend on coming to live.
Right but it was never explicitly stated that it wouldn’t when it was first brought up
Tgc isn't responsible for what you spend money on. You chose to rely on beta info
nothing in beta is confirmed to ever make it to live
This is correct
I feel like most of the time you wouldn’t even get to see the beta content for any game
there's a shepherd system thats been in beta since october
Information improperly communicated is still improperly communicated
You really shouldn’t spend money on candles in anticipation of something that might or might not come to the game
Unless you’re ok wasting that money if it never comes
You’re taking a risk.
They've always said that things in beta are never guaranteed to come to live. And that's the standard for everything in the video game industry
this is a given fact with everything that comes to beta honestly
They can put whatever they want in beta. It’s a testing ground
days of rainbow could not happen in the way it appeared in beta for all we know
Something existing in beta doesn’t mean it’s coming to live.
If you spend money on the game because of a maybe, that’s on you.
Literally everything in beta has come to live, and the conversations were allowed to happen within the community that it might. Allowing that misinformation to spread, and that was not corrected or clarified upon until months later now.
That’s not true
The shepherd system hasn't ?
i just told you about a feature that hasnt made it to live
Ummm the entire game was completely different in beta than it is now in live
Oh hi everyone
The original design never made it to live
We have stressed many times that beta is not early access and nothing is guaranteed to go to the live game
Right but which other items are so called “joke” items I know no other items like this
The multicolored capes never made it to live
as a general example, early beta was very different from live release
Sorry guys but where can we talk about something strange with game?
Does someone have problems with season candles today?
Also my issue isn’t so much the conflict with beta, it’s the way the information was unsupported and went uncorrected* within the community
Oh thanks
TGC never said the cape was coming to live
Tgc can't control what information is spread outside of this server, incorrect or not
Ktjn has said it many times
If you listened to a rumor that said it was, that’s not their fault
It’s not our fault that people do not listen to what we say
@spiral summit TGC has always said that nothing in beta is guaranteed to go to live. Sometimes other players will talk as if things are set in stone, though, and sadly TGC can't control what other people say
How long did it take for tgc to come out and solidly say “the cape no cape won’t be released”
A fairly long time
They still haven’t
there are no plans to bring the invisible cape to Live any time soon, if ever.
This was a month ago
It’s still a maybe
Ktjn has said this many times before that too
Capeless has been a known concept for way longer than a month xD
@spiral summit That puts TGC in a bind though--if it's an easter egg that might someday be put in the game, it would be a major spoiler if they announced it
Ktjn has said this many times before that too
It might happen one day, but don’t buy candles to plan for it. Because it may never come.
If someone spreads a rumor that a rainbow cape is coming that will cost 200 hearts, is it TGC’s fault if you bought candles in anticipation?
Nothing in beta is certain. Even beta players can't always count on having their account or keeping their progress, let alone expecting that some feature will always be available in it
No, it isn’t, however if it is an often discussed and supported topic within the game and a bunch of players mistakenly get lost and grind early for it. There should be preventative communicational measures to prevent that among leadership. That’s why leadership is a thing. To help guide and moderate the flow of discussion within the community and obviously with how wide this miscommunication went that wasn’t done.
I know a bunch of players in my same boat
I mean, it made sense when the traveling spirits appeared in beta to go to Eden and get some extra ascended candles. But spending a ton of money to get 1000 hearts for something that was never confirmed....is just not a wise thing to do unless you don’t mind potentially throwing that money away.
Tgc only ever spoke about the invisible cape in these beta channels
they can't stop rumors from spreading
We also try to makes sure people direct beta comments to these channels but not everyone comes here
It was spoken about in news was it not?
It was not
No
I can't vouch for what people talk about on other servers, and none of us here can control what people do in other communities. But I can say that every time someone in this server asked about the invisible cape, every dev, moderator, and shepherd in the chat have immediately stepped in to explain the situation with the cape—that it was beta only and had no ETA for live
(not to mention, plenty of other community members stepping in if they knew, too, if one of us weren't there at the time)
TGC and beta players have said many, many times that beta info isn’t set in stone. The unfortunate thing is there are people who lurk in these channels who just don’t pay attention who then go and spread beta content. TGC can’t really control the people who come in thinking beta is early access, no matter how much they try to specify it.
I literally have Shepard’s from this community telling me all the time it’s still “in development” or “being tested”
Does that not sound
Misleading?
I know that it's easy for rumors to get carried away. We try to encourage people to check in here about something they've heard (or "heard") about so that they can get more accurate information
In development to me means who knows what’s going to happen
Mmmmm that is definitely not what that sounds like to me
Maybe other people think that too, so the intentions were lost in words
Test means the outcome is uncertain. Again, in the future I'd recommend checking here and reading #news or #beta-announcements and posts from devs like Ktjn
The bottom line is that you shouldn’t just come in here expecting foolproof answers about upcoming events/items.
If you really want to be sure you’re not wasting your time or money, wait for official announcements.
Lol I get the point
But you’re still upset at TGC for something they didn’t do
Yes I’m upset that things weren’t managed more appropriately and clearly. Indeed they were not and didn’t. But that’s fine. I guess these things happen 🤪
They might probably gonna give some ways to spend ur spare hearts lol
if TGC had a wild goose chase with every single misinformation/rumor that came out, development wouldnt see the light of day
It would and they do the structure is obviously just not there.
Also I have indeed differed to Ktjn on this matter, and I was definitely not given the impression that it would not happen.
I’ve only ever seen her say that it won’t come any time soon, if ever
that doesnt mean it wont get shelved later in development, weve went through this already
The key wording you used is that it “won’t come any time soon” is not never
Early on when it first showed up, there was a lot of confusion, but that was a long time ago and the consensus since then has been that it’s not a sure thing
“If ever”
You’re ignoring the “if ever” part
Apparently that consensus was not communicated because many players got it wrong.
It’s been repeated many times
Again, beta is not meant as a road map for what’s coming to live
No no I’m not ignoring it, I’m just high lighting where there is room for things to be misinterpreted
It’s fine to get excited about potential upcoming events/items
But the second you spend money/time preparing for it, that’s on you. 100%
Spending the money is my error yes, giving me a false thing to spend that money on is the mess up. Even if the thing I just spend money on in the end is my own and others confusions.
Maybe it will come one day and you’ll have the 1000 hearts all saved up and ready to go. Then good for you! But don’t blame others for your lost money if it never sees the light of day.
Please don't bypass the language filter
Yes
Corrected
In any case
You have beat me well over the head by repeating ur verbatim
Like I said
I understand
And I’m just more surprised that my point is not met with any validity after a few fairly legitimate examples.
You say you understand but you’re still arguing with us so 
I’m not arguing I’m just looking to platform my perspective and see if anyone agrees. Which is obviously not the case.
It sounds like everyone is basically repeating themselves at this point, so I don't think there's much benefit to continuing the conversation
I agree xD
So...er, any news on the server error yet?
nope
I know it’s a holiday. I was just wondering if we’ve heard anything regardless, since it’s been 12 hours now. 😉
is the season over? last week I saw that the last node in the questgiver’s constellation was gonna unlock in 3 days, so I was planning on getting on to do that. I think it came out maybe a couple days ago or so, but I got on now the season has ended... Is the season coming back? I was also saving the candles to wait and see what I most wanted from the constellation so it kinda sucks that I didn’t get the opportunity to use them.
or is that server error you guys mentioned what’s causing the season to appear as over
The light quests are not tied to the season
It's returning the orange light to the spirit that isn't working
You can still do the light quests
oh? Is the questgiver still in the ark or something?
Enchantment season has ended in beta, yes. But the light quests are still left. Only there is a server error currently preventing us from completing it.
The season itself was scheduled to end today
Rip for all the people who stayed up until reset for the light quest
unlucky timing on my part
So any candles you had got turned into regular ones and the constellation is gone
I’m sure it’ll be fine tomorrow at some point.
i wanted to rest but my brain told me 'wake up new light quest' two hours earlier, but thats on me
Lots of people reporting that you can purchase things in beta for free in the bug reports
I guess they didn't know that they were already free in beta?
I think they're trying to report that we can buy the adventure pass over and over
Theres that too
@ancient cobalt everything's free in beta, buddy, jsyk
They aren't even on beta
nah, look into the two most recent reports in #beta-bugs-android
Okay, so I mistakenly reported it as that, I'm new to beta, it doesn't seem to be stated anywhere I can find, and I didn't try purchasing things because I wouldn't be able to afford dropping 15$ on a beta item, so no I didn't know that.
But season passes still being available after season ends is still an issue, so I imagine it's still of some use even if I didn't get it quite right.
Please don't @ me when I'm not around, and I don't,, really like the tone ("buddy" thing).
sorry about that, noted
Vallahai , the pass you can get in beta now , is the pre order
Season 'ending' (no QG or constellation) but still being able to preorder pass is apparently considered a bug, so I'm not that worried about it
well yeah, now they know, but thats not supposed to happen either
i imagine you should be able to preorder season pass for next season when the current season ended, just maybe they didn’t change the info, all season passes are technically the same and can be used for any season anyway. tho based on what we see, this iap is totally bugged
but hey, no one hates more candles
the candles aren't converting to regular candles and it's possible that all those candles will disappear when the devs fix whatever bug is allowing us to "purchase" unlimited season passes 😦
maybe, or may not, or we use them in next season
Yep but my candles I earned by farming and quests went away and no normal candles :/
I would bug report that. my season candles I earned up until yesterday all converted to normal candles
my seasonal candles got converted in the middle of season from time to time
Anyone else getting server error when they try to get the light quest complete?
everyone 
Ah okay XD sorry
......................

more accurate:
........

HAHA
PFFFFFFT
we’re that guy dabbing his tears away with cash but it’s 
it will end itself if people keep stacking passes :p
light quests are currently bugged, and theyre also not tied to the season
Ah
we’re that guy dabbing his tears away with cash but it’s
if only i had editing skills
got it got it, thank you both
Just got an idea , they can put the rainbow as the ultimate reward of the next season, rainbow like swing and bonfire that can set anywhere
war flashbacks to ye olden beta message candles
I just did starter pack, it isn’t doing repeat purchase
yeah, thats what i said
some season event scheduling chaos happening
Whelp
Dear someone, I don't know who you are but you're a friend in the game, and we all play together nice and those are real good moments. I literally has no idea I have the control making the game which all this while I was just try to report bugs. But real life doesn't permits me to open the game to test the features which I try to explain so many times.
In fact I found a controlled dimension which now I know some bugs are intended which fears me.
@spark lance we could have known what it'll do today, but light quests are currently bugged and can't be finished, so we won't know for now
it's coming to live next week either way 
Ik im just super exited
we were too 
Just got an idea , they can put the rainbow as the ultimate reward of the next season, rainbow like swing and bonfire that can set anywhere
@prisma quiver need to put in the #wishlist-and-ideas-archived
Okie I’ll
Please keep beta content in beta channels, yk
seems vague enough to not be mistaken with beta spoilers, but yeah, keep it to those channels just to be extra duper super safe
Now I wonder what the next season will but I'll have to wait
now we wait 
i had a dream that colored seasonal candles made a comeback, they were... pink i think, and the seasonal symbol was a flower

Its annoying sometimes when people hear your in beta and assume you can look into the future and know everything that's gonna come
What, like #questions-and-help right now? 
look into the future
People think I know what the next season is
go follow jenova on twitter, he knows more things
Beta testers are time travelers, didn't you know?
Or they say in lucky Im in beta
it's just like live but devoid of life most of the time and the annoying but not game breaking bugs don't often get fixed
im from the distant patch 0.9.6, and in a recent update they added flying car boats
WHATTT? NO WAY
Beta is just like live except we get to test some tiny things sometimes and it's lonely and filled with bugs
Hey guys, got back from patch 0.9.7, flying car boats are removed 😔

Or someone asks every 5 mins how to get in and the bot responds
you guys are too much 
What kind of season passes
the point is: inb4 they troll us and 1.0 doesnt come out on anniversary

How does the beta invitation work when there's space?
Do I need to be invited by someone who already has beta?
!betafaq @sly kernel
To join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-announcements! Give yourself the beta role here by tapping the

Noice
1.0.0 will never exist. Devs will troll us forever telling us each next update will be 1.0 and it’ll never happen
0.9.9.9.9.9.9

Like how Minecraft is 1.15.4
0.9.9.9.9.9.1 sounds nicer 
Minecraft 2.0 will never exist. If Mojang changed enough to warrant that, the community would riot
Alright. I will be on in few hours and let me see what ideas to implement.
Omg I just saw the tax fraud bug report 😂
Someone doesn’t know everything in beta is supposed to be free
But even so..... how would getting stuff for free be tax fraud?
theyre new, give it time 
There was the old beta tale of the money for beta purchases actually being from the elders...
We singlehandedly made the entire kingdom bankrupt on a few hours
Imagine if the IRS went after you every time you got a birthday gift
Bc you didn’t pay for it
I need some training.

Confession: I played BlipBlop way too much before I finally cut myself off
bruh
Are beta qualifications randomly issued?
@glass coyote no
How do I get it?

OK
and...
Opening additional beta slots is on an as-needed basis. There is no pre-set schedule for when we open it up.
get it
Right
Now I have 7000
should be enough
It takes a few thousand to complete the game.. and then there’s travelers... and trade for 999 hearts..
Probably 7000 is just about enough... a bit extra wouldn’t hurt.. you’re right Jay!
Click until you’re sick..?
No.
yes
Roses are red violets are blue
No matter how hard u try, there’s never enough candles for you 😳
I wouldn't bank on getting to keep all the candles you're acquiring from this bug.
every time i go through eden i feel i'm knocked down or pushed away for nothing, it's not giving enough visual hint, making it hard to control. Same for citadel
Yeah I don’t expect to be able to keep them but I didn’t want to be left in the dust if they do let us
I was told it's a bug, so I i tested it out to check.
Hi ktjn!
Ktjn it's your weekend get outta here 
no rest for the wicked.
In my view
I always knew we were never going to keep them and I wasn’t expecting to
Everyone jus thought it was fun to spam the pass and see how many you can get
Well it’s beta so you never know
If we do keep em imma scream
imo, it really doesn't matter, you get seasonal candles a lot faster in beta anyway
The only reason it's not being fixed is it's a holiday weekend and a lot of us on the team have been pulling some extreme overtime to fix more important bugs.
Aw you guys deserve a nice break!
Is that a Ktjn I see? It’s Memorial Day


A lot of season-after-enchantment works in progress made it into the latest beta build because we didn't split it off the main branch before pushing to beta because we needed to get that graphics glitch on Android tested and the hotfix pushed to live. We planned to have a more stable beta build friday, but we're human and there's only so many hours in the day and it just didn't happen on time.
Compared to this, I want to see the end animation more
Take ur timeeee
We all appreciate ur work 
Ktjn enjoy your vacation! This can wait :)
I'm milling around for some planned work stuff, it's alright. I promise I took full advantage of the long weekend and got all the sneep.
Well... at least I can keep my screenshot with 20k candles
I just wanna say thank and give so much love for our devs, you are working very hard!


Is there any news for the next season?
it's the season after the current one! 
Rainbow season! Right? Where can I find stuff like the new cosmetics/expressions?
They non-existent right now 
it will be announced in the news, or in beta-updates when it's announced.
keep in mind the current season in live has 30something more days left. we probably won't test the next season for quite some time
That’s hacked content, please don’t talk about it here
Is it??
Yes
don't trust hacked junk
Sorry about that
I’m super excited for new expressions tho >:0
And a rainbow too?? That sounds amazing
It's also an old one repurposed 
The rainbow?
Everything right now is "stand-in" content 
oh we've seen the rainbow already looks like a daily quest when they fix it up
it's been taken out of the run until it gets fixed
Ah.. you know what would be amazing? A rainbow cape
we had it for 2 days iirc and it was a little buggy
Ooh!
noodle are you in beta or just asking about what beta is like?
ah well beta can't access either. we literally just finished testing the enchantment season yesterday
Ohh cool!
Is it alright to ask questions about beta here? Or should I ask in a different channel?
do you guys know if theres a way to get a notification if a spot is available in beta 
beta testing for seasons is shortened and usually not super long before the season goes live anyways

All beta slot notifications will get a ping in #beta-announcements
aa thank you 
If you weren’t pinged there’s no opening
Alright ^^ thank you. I have one more question
Has there been any talk about alternative ways to change height being implemented, or possibility of getting the ult. Rewards from previous seasons?
Oop- that’s two questions
nothing about height changes. but back in March they did mention wanting to bring back past ultimate rewards in some fashion
Ooh! Thank you. I was hoping for a seasonal spirit to bring that hair with the ponytail and little wings on it, before I realized it was an ultimate reward- TwT
The devs don’t want people to choose height the random nature is an intentional design choice
I hope to separate the mask from the face, and then we can freely match
There is also a hairstyle
Also, is it still impossible to submit the orange light?
Reset is in 2 hours, but that is in the middle of the night for TGC. So I wouldn't count on any fixes until at least 12 hours more.
Has there been any talk about alternative ways to change height being implemented-
I'd like to add.. While it is intentionally randomized, currently they recognize that once you unlock all spells/potions from spirits, you can't get more opportunities to change height. This is something they are working on.
didn't know they are. we always can get new blessings in new seasons tho
except for the spells which were given only from normal constellations, like the glow spell
I’m unable to find certain friends in my friend constellation in beta, not even after repeatedly login in 🤔
have they been playing actively lately?
I mean, is it possible their accounts have been "deleted"?
Nope , more active than those friends aren’t there
that's odd
I was to send him a heart yesterday but couldn’t find him
Then this morning he send me message that the same happened to him
I’ll pop in a bug report when I have time on my hands
Hey so what’s with the orange light in the beta?
it's currently not possible to finish that quest
Ah, unfortunately that’s probably hacked content, or modded. Either way it’s not allowed here, also we haven’t even been able to test the last light in beta so for now anything claiming to show what happens afterwards is very fishy
shall I delete it?
Yes
it's so annoying... people want information and this content mostly shows what's already in the game... well...
It doesn’t actually show what’s in the game though, neither beta or live. It’s people showing off content they hacked to get which isn’t readily available. It’s a very trashy thing to do. If people want access to early information they can observe what happens in the beta channels here or what’s posted from beta around the community. (though hopefully keeping in mind beta info can still change before live) Seeing it a few days or weeks earlier than they’re supposed to through hackers doesn’t change the date for when they’ll get it in live anyways, it just shows impatience and support of the cockroaches of any game community (aka hackers)
You really think people hacking beta aren’t also hacking live? They probably just can’t access those files in live yet.
nice name 😂
knowingly posting links to hacked content on this server, even if to demonstrate something and with no ill intention is against the rules. TGC work really hard to create fantastic new content for us to enjoy, and it is only respectful to wait and allow them to reveal the new things on their terms.
;-;
no more hacks/hackers content discussion now please. Thank you guys!!
same question
please, that would probably be wise. thank you! 🙂
welcome 
And bopped
done sorry for the mistake
awesome!! thanks everone!! 
anyways, when will they be back to work to fix the server error? 
no, the season one, want to finish 
if they wanted to test that in beta asap then maybe they'll fix it soon
but they also have serious issues going on in live too
they should test it, see what happened to the hair flower which wasn't tested 
they would but we just don't know if that's the priority
true
the bug in beta is not happening to the orange light alone
oh really?
But the flower glitches were so funny 
yea they have been very funny 
Flower glitches and by that you mean how they flip flopped things on the back when it was equipped?
yea
@civic totem yeah it's happened to purple according to Giccix's report so probably happening to all the light quests
And you got a phantom xylophone to play any time anywhere
ok, so it is a server issue because the server says "event is over, what you trying here" 
oh the xylophone bug was also flower related? didn't know that 
hello is there any travler leak ( like they used to post a pic where you can see his shape so you can guess )
thanks
hey guys i wanted to know if there still was the error that didn't let you give oramge light to the spirit :)
does anyone know?
I just tried it. Still there
You’re welcome. 😊

does developer come back now
I had forgot to log in Sunday and found event ended. I have all items except the last orange light. I grabbed it and tried to turn in for final quest but keep getting server errors. I know season ended but the quest giver is still there. Will we get a chance to turn in and see the ending cutscenes or did TGC stop it to keep it secret for live?
we won't see the ending cutscene in beta it seems. the orange light quest wasn't even available until after the season ended and season candles converted to regular ones
Right. It confused me. Just read some of the posts above and same issues from others. I thought I missed the boat, lol
I have no problems waiting. This has been a good season imo
The colored light quests "will be available to complete after the Season of Enchantment has concluded. Once the area has been fully restored, the end of season cutscene will become available to view for anyone who has completed all six quests to recover the colored light." https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/a/sky-children-of-the-light/?l=en&p=all&s=patch-notes&f=patch-notes---may-14-2020---0-9-2-149422
rn there's a bug in beta that we cannot return (any) colored light to the quest giver in Forgotten Ark
the same happened for the purple light quest
I thought they were being sneaky little ninjas
I never had purple light issues. But I did not start the season until about 2 weeks in
no one reported a similar issue before the season ended
and not in live, as far as I know
Live has worked well. I’m happy with it. Other than stretching it out so far, lol. I have anticipated the end though. I’d like to see a ‘flower’ effect
My friend said she saw hints about the travelling spirit in here? Is it just that you guys guess the spirit after they reveal the shape? Or u guys can actually predict
Vyllan they'll post the silhouette around 2 PM
Beta update ........... orange light ........pwease 🚽
next week lul
Sup beautiful people
hi
Hello
So is TGC taking a 4-day weekend? 
just let they rest and enjoy our candles
I hope they backflip into a 5day weekend 
sneep is good 
Tgc work real harde,,,
excuse me. Do you know what will be the spirit that will come this week?
no
We're still working on fixes for the next beta build. it likely will not roll out until tonight.
Thank you for all of your hard work! We appreciate you guys!
Whoa foxy lady again?
We're all ktjn clones now
(again)
Popular spirit
At least the fellows who spent it all during double hearts have a nice cheap spirit
Everyone’s gonna be a fox
Let foxes take over the world 
w e a s e l
In the beta, do players get to see the new traveling spirits before live?
No
Arrives in beta at the same time as live 
!foxmask
Are you sure you don't mean weasel mask 

my seasonal candles converting to normal candles came at a good time since weasel mask is comin back ❤️
OHMY GOD I love that command
Ktjn mask coming soon to an isle near you
I remember the first time I saw someone wearing that mask during Gratitude. I didn’t really know anything about the seasonal stuff and thought they were like some god or something
Then once I figured it out I needed it
I saw traveling spirit prices go up for beta ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀•✎ . . . ↺ Why?
this also happens to be the one travelling spirit I didn't get the wing buff from yet so yay
I’m still dreading the day the gratitude wasteland spirit returns
Traveling spirit prices haven't and won't change, Canaria
I look forward to helping people with it
I was clueless back then and got krilled so many times
You might've seen a really old pic when it was tested if it's different
if they're old screenshots from beta, we changed the prices several times before it hit live.
Now they appear the same time as live 
Why does it return twice?
because it's random
I'm still hoping to get the confetti spirit 
That bow hair is so cute 
-aggressively wills the rng to put confetti spirit soon- XD
I wonder if I’d be any less of a mess with the wasteland spirit by now. I’m not optimistic
Also, can I use orange glow now?
app you talking about the don't go emote?
Gratitude gw
No, that one I did with friends who distracted the krill so it was actually fun
Talking about the one that takes place basically entirely within the krill’s view
yeah that one was super hilarious for me because the entire server was my friends so there's 8 of us fighting over who got to be krill bait
Can I submit an orange glow now?
I tried about 20 minutes ago and still got a server error 😦
no
The first krill will always be the Meanest Krill to me bc of that spirit quest 😂
Yes
All rights
I'll post in #beta-announcements when the build is ready
And we have to visit him the most often
For that face the krill quest every single week 😂
Reliving wide stance is a pain bc it's easy (for me at least) to get caught in a position where it's hard to see where the krill is at
Yeah I still hate doing that
And last week someone kept bringing the krill to me while I was doing it
Nearly got hit
I don’t think they were doing it on purpose bc they got hit twice
But was still stressful
I don't like the forced camera pan D: like yes I know the krill is there and I literally am trying to avoid it as we speak
pretty sure I gave feedback on that already 😐
Gotta teach the moffs krill are bad
But it'd be nice if they didn't teach me
I already know
Yeah that zoom in on the krill is not great
I have watched many moths still get krilled by that exact krill
Has double love been over?
It ended a few hours ago
OK
Uh we don't know anything about the next season yet
enchantment is in live already 🙂 it's the current season
unfortunately, any content about next season is hacked since we havent seen anything about it in beta yet
Yes that YouTuber is a hacker. The best thing you can do for the community is to stop watching them
oh ok :<
Not yet
Some people try to justify those channels with the shabby excuse of “but the data is in the game! It’s the devs fault!”
Well that’s so updates are done just in the app in “data pack updates”.
Usually that’s why when the app needs to update, it’s for these packs and or critical fixes. It is not intended to be dissected in full, so some people do and “leak” the rest of the pack.
It’s all on these [REDACTED] channels, not the team.
In order for these packs to be dissected, they need to be... grabbed from game data and presented in “leaks”. Which is against the TOS in basically every mobile game. This is astronomically different from extracting sprites or models from the game. These don’t spoil new content and provide instead more creativity in the fanbase as long as it’s not commercially used.

I’m just surprised TGC can’t do anything about it considering they’re not exactly hiding what they’re doing
I guess, technically, they can only ban the user. Which they can just make new users in the end. I’m not sure if they have the power of an IP ban.
Plus I don’t think they can take down videos on YouTube.
IP banning for context to anyone is when the entire system is banned from a website or smthn. No new accounts can join and be permitted in because the unique system itself is banned. Usually some very drastic things gotta go down for that and it’s super rare.
It’s more common in things like console games. Get caught as a [REDACTED]? You are banned from using online on the console.
I’m pretty sure they could take down videos. Usually it’s frowned upon for a dev to take down videos, but I think leaking hacked info would be an acceptable reason.
YouTube gives creators very little power. I don’t see how a hacker would have a leg to stand on
Tho they may get blowback from the community for it 
they've tried, they keep sliming back into the community somehow
I don’t get it. Why go through all that trouble? If you have those skills, use them to do something more worthwhile
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t get it. Why go through all that trouble? If you have those skills, use them to do something more worthwhile
@blazing sail
They do it because they have a public who watches it, therefore they make money
YouTube Ads don’t pay much
