beta-discussion

[bleak furnace]

Ohhhhhhhh

What is that

[somber venture]

i'm extremely happy that extra ascended candles now have a use

[wise finch]

You can see pics in #beta-screenshots-videos

Lol Laxi

[somber venture]

you can spend ascended candles and hearts as well as normal candles to but barious spells

smoko, imma abuse this

jk

[wise finch]

[somber venture]

but yeah, beta bugs or beta feedback?

i'll say bug

since mochi called it one

[dry pivot]

definitely a bug

[sterile carbon]

heyo what comes after last light?

[blazing sail]

Still no Ark portal, eh?

[wise finch]

#wishlist-and-ideas-archived

[stoic badger]

I like the idea of the shop, but I think my real problem is less the prices and more the unfun I experience when trying to get resources.

[wise finch]

The idea of the shop is meant for the players who don't have a use of normal currencies anymore

[stoic badger]

I am that person, and I still dont want to 😂

[wise finch]

Lol

[timber ridge]

By the way, why are the spells in this game so useless? Why can’t we have a shield or protection bubble to defend ourselves from krills for example. I don’t know. Maybe something that can alter gameplay somehow? A hook to climb maybe?
I’m so bored at this point.

[wise finch]

Well, you are not forced to buy them

[blazing sail]

I think the reason is so there’s no leg up for buying them

[stoic badger]

Im not, but it’s like dangling a carrot that doesnt exist

[blazing sail]

No pay-to-win, so to speak

[quaint onyx]

Krill repellent 😉

[timber ridge]

That’s the thing. I am not buying anything.

[wise finch]

You don't need to

Also we got like 4 new spells

[blazing sail]

My problem is that all these things are fun and exciting at first and then they just become part of the repetitive grind

[wise finch]

More spells ideas are possible

[spark lance]

Oh my gosh testing new things I just saw I should update it now~

[blazing sail]

Just getting to the shop each time is a grind

[timber ridge]

Totally.

[quaint onyx]

I mean, its not an mmo

[stoic badger]

When I think about the cool-factor of the items compared with the time and unfun I get out of playing the game to get those resources.... its a bummer.

[blazing sail]

If I were playing a point-and-click adventure with a big world and lots of traveling back and forth between locations, I would expect a fast travel map

[stoic badger]

I like the idea of it, but not the journey to get to it

[quaint onyx]

Wait, you grind everyday to get epic pants

It is an MMO

[blazing sail]

This game is a year old and still doesn’t value our time

[stoic badger]

@quaint onyx Thats why I dont play most MMOs <w<

I wouldn’t say its validation just because other games do a potentially bad thing

Also in this case the pants last 5 minutes

I dont get PERMANENT PANTS

[blazing sail]

This is the only online game I’ve played in years

I tend to avoid games these days that put me on a schedule

[quaint onyx]

Also, thinking if there is warp gate, it may be for after the season's over

[blazing sail]

But the season is over in beta

[stoic badger]

Same, at this point im just letting go of the idea that this game is for me even though I keep an eye on it <w<

[blazing sail]

So my hopes for a portal are dwindling

[timber ridge]

Yeah, me too.

[wise finch]

Some waypoints system would be good

[quaint onyx]

Didn't we have campfire for like 2 weeks before it actually did anything: SkyLOL:

They got time

[sand dawn]

It used to be a table placeholder in beta, hahah

[stoic badger]

Indeed

[blazing sail]

We had campfire from day 1

As a placeholder

There’s no portal placeholder

[quaint onyx]

Actually, don't really see how they'd be able to have a single instance warp gate and not have it not look off

I guess they could move the boat

[blazing sail]

Stick a boat statue in the Wasteland social area

[timber ridge]

The sad thing is we are going to get a new dead side area, with a shop. Are they really leaving everything behind it as it is now?

[blazing sail]

Lots of things look off. That would not be so out of the ordinary

[timber ridge]

It might come later?

[blazing sail]

You should be able to grow the potion ingredients on the farm

Everyone gets their own plot of land

[quaint onyx]

Farmer-kid

[blazing sail]

Stardew Sky

[timber ridge]

For me all that area is like a blueprint for a village or a farm or something. Can’t deal with the empty arena in the middle.

[blazing sail]

Another empty cave to explore

Two empty caves to explore

[quaint onyx]

That... may be just they ran out of time...

I mean this all started before lockdown...

[timber ridge]

Plot twist: Sky Shopping mall opening next week, with escalators and the “Girl from Ipanema”soondtrack.

Yeah, could also be that.

[blazing sail]

Maybe each season will add to the area?

I do hope they do more of these transformation quests

It’s probably the coolest thing they’ve done

[timber ridge]

(Edited)

maybe?

[pure stag]

I hope there will be more interesting things.

[blazing sail]

If every realm gets a new branching realm

[timber ridge]

Maybe there could be another boat ride at the end of the sea of clouds

[blazing sail]

Boat ride to a boat ride

[timber ridge]

to a Forgotten Grass area lol

[blazing sail]

Just boat rides to infinity

[timber ridge]

boat rides to a maze of boat rides in the dark

[pure stag]

Collecting new costumes over and over again can get boring.

[blazing sail]

Oooh what about a hedge maze

That changes each day

[cobalt hinge]

So much water in the home area, an island expansion would be nice uwu

[blazing sail]

New quest: Collect the candle at the center of the hedge maze

[timber ridge]

yeah, something that changed everyday, like the candle locations and the quests do.

[blazing sail]

People would just glitch through the maze 😂

[timber ridge]

not gonna happen

[blazing sail]

Randomly generated maze that’s new each day

Or each week

Not repeating after 4 cycles

[timber ridge]

I’d rather have a Cutscene farewell season first

[blazing sail]

New update

Oh wait same one

Sleep-deprived

[pure stag]

I'm curious how many new seasons tgc has been completed ahead of schedule

[reef sail]

i think they're just one ahead? a mod explained that while the current season is going on, the team's already working on the next one

[quaint onyx]

They don't even have this one finished

Flyin by the seat of their pants

Or they just finished last night, at 3AM

[blazing sail]

I keep expecting the rainbow quest to have some color in it

Maybe bc of the light quests

Did they bring back to ability to see people when you honk?

I’m seeing the occasional eye show up

[pure stag]

Do you like the new settings?

[blazing sail]

Anyone else having an issue where the return shrine puts you back on the boat cutscene instead of in the ark?

Over and over?

[dry pivot]

no and I used the shrine multiple times today

[blazing sail]

Finally worked. Had to get far away from the boat

[timber ridge]

Oh, you actually use the return shrine?

[dry pivot]

I do a lot at home

[pallid badger]

@timber ridge do you think you could possibly remove the post regarding possible future season location? unfortunately thats likely to be hacked content since we do not have any such information from official sources as of yet. thank you so much!

@blazing sail could you remove your response to the post I'm referring to above? lets keep our discussion to what we definitely know. 🙂

[blazing sail]

I do, especially for Ark

[timber ridge]

Done.

[blazing sail]

Done

[pallid badger]

Thank you both!

[spark lance]

Hey people

I updated the app

But no rainbows

No item shop

[crisp plinth]

Return the orange light

[timber ridge]

You were probably punished by Ktjn.

[spark lance]

Ok...

I hope not

I krilled oreo twice successfully but it doesn't have a punishment this big I hope

[timber ridge]

I´m telling Ktjn to extend the punishment.

[spark lance]

No~

[blazing sail]

How can you krill Oreo

[spark lance]

Idk I just succeeded

[blazing sail]

Bringing a krill from wasteland to prairie is some skill

[spark lance]

...

[timber ridge]

How did you manage to get a krill there?

[spark lance]

Ew lmao

I mean by the krill command in memes lmao

;-;

[blazing sail]

Ok that’s less impressive

[spark lance]

It is

That's why I said this

I krilled oreo twice successfully but it doesn't have a punishment this big I hope

[timber ridge]

lmao, now you´re gonna be punished by @blazing sail

[blazing sail]

Lol

[spark lance]

Idc

[timber ridge]

what does that mean? Lowndoadable content?

[kindred fossil]

"i don't care"

[timber ridge]

me neither

[glass coyote]

Will the hairstyle and hat be separated in the future?

So that we can freely match

[kindred fossil]

no

[reef sail]

we don't know that yet, as no such announcements have been made

[spark lance]

Where's the orange light?

[timber ridge]

@kindred fossil is super scary

[reef sail]

forest

[kindred fossil]

good.

[spark lance]

Wow

Where in forest? I know it's in forest.

[kindred fossil]

orange light is specifically at broken bridge

[reef sail]

lmao uuuh i'm not sure how to describe the place

[kindred fossil]

around the trees

[blazing sail]

My game crashed when I tried to turn in the Orange light 😭😭😭😭

[spark lance]

Okay thanks

[reef sail]

i'm not even a beta player

[spark lance]

[kindred fossil]

watch the orange light from the watchtower that has the winged light, takes awhile to appear

[reef sail]

i don't see the use for the constellation gate for that tower, i could perfectly reach the star without going through the gate

[spark lance]

Kay tysm

Same reese dw

[kindred fossil]

it's oddly misplaced

if it was moved a little more to the center then the gate wouldn't be so useless

[hasty vessel]

@blazing sail did you manage to turn it in yet? Remember to update through TestFlight:)

[kindred fossil]

she updated already, her game just crashed for some reason

[silent lily]

I have a big question

[hasty vessel]

Ah ok

Go for it L

[silent lily]

With the orange light, the season ended. Because all the spirits were going away.
So what will that Flag icon in the seasonal constellation do now.

[dry pivot]

usually you can watch the ending cutscene again

[hasty vessel]

The flag will show you the ending cutscene

[kindred fossil]

it'll play the same cutscene

[silent lily]

@kindred fossil oh lol

Means non pass players can also see the end scene when collecting the orange light!

Have your checked it!?

And what do you think about the new season???

The pendant is looking like a manta

[kindred fossil]

it does, and that's all i can think of it

[dry pivot]

nice pendant

[hasty vessel]

I’m hopeful again, the season of enchantment resparked my love of the game and now i cant wait to continue on

[silent lily]

SeAsOn oF mAnTAS

[kindred fossil]

there isn't much to go from a pendant design, it can be anything. i'd rather wait as more information comes our way

[silent lily]

I wish they bring new calls and stance

[balmy snow]

Grow spell!!! Grow spell!!!!!

[silent lily]

Cause this season didn't had any!

[kindred fossil]

yes, grow spell

[balmy snow]

GROW SPELLLLLL

[kindred fossil]

beeg boi spell

[balmy snow]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO BE TALL

[kindred fossil]

grow spell is 10 minutes btw

[balmy snow]

10 minutes is fine

[kindred fossil]

yeah, glad it's not 5

[silent lily]

Well now we can purchase resize potion

So it isn't a big of a problem

[spark lance]

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THE CUTSCENE

[balmy snow]

Considering I’ve had a total of 10 height change spells...
I used to be the tallest height. Then I accidentally used a resize potion. Then I became short. Every time I used a resize potion, I would become shorter, then slightly taller, then shorter again

[spark lance]

It's...

Perfect. Emotional. Idkk

[balmy snow]

Finally, I can become tall. Maybe

[silent lily]

When i used the resize potion fir the first time in live, i got tall and i never used one after that

[hasty vessel]

Noodle I’m the opposite I’m hoping for the smallest height and i dont mind running down all my heart resources to reach it! 😄

Running around as a giant chibi is my dream 😄

[silent lily]

Giant chibi🤔

How can that be?

Btw what's the difference between the huge and the grow potion

[kindred fossil]

giant spell

grow changes your height, huge/tiny changes your scale

using both at once makes you beeg spirit sized, i posted screenshots

[blazing sail]

The rainbow over the ark should be permanent

It’s so pretty

[misty hazel]

Can anybody pre order the adventure pass?

[silent lily]

@blazing sail agreed

[kindred fossil]

no because we did already

[silent lily]

Fits perfectly

[misty hazel]

Oh hahaha

[kindred fossil]

like, 100 times or something

[misty hazel]

Glad I got 3000 candles

[blazing sail]

8000 times

[misty hazel]

Dang

That's alot

[kindred fossil]

10 million times until beta crashed and burned

sky is over

[empty river]

is that why we cant buy it jsjsjjs

oops

[frigid shadow]

Ahh I wish there were more renovations made for the rest of ark, not just the ship :""0

[timber ridge]

Yeah, same.

[spark lance]

I got 120 and they're still Enchantment candles

Also my old 2 enchantment candles are lost in void. Not normal nor enchantment rn

[random gull]

haven't logged in since the update did the candles from broken season pass convert too?

[empty river]

nah

theyre just chilling there

the logo didnt change either

[spark lance]

Mhm

Btw the new season logo is a manta

Lore incoming

Get ready people

[dry pivot]

i recently collected photos and calls of manta

[empty river]

i hope we learn more about the creatures in sky

[spark lance]

Yes

[dry pivot]

and found that the manta calls are based on irl bird calls

[spark lance]

I guess it'll be a "Season of Light" or "Season of Creatures"

Just ideas tho

[kindred fossil]

then we unlock a pet shop at the end of the manta season :omegalul:

[spark lance]

and found that the manta calls are based on irl bird calls
Ooo

then we unlock a pet shop at the end of the manta season :omegalul:
YES PLEASE

[kindred fossil]

no pls

[empty river]

nooooo

[kindred fossil]

'twas merely a joke

[empty river]

you know that mean about no capes? no pets,,,no

[winged eagle]

Will items like Bonfire (Season of Belonging) be added in future seasons?
Only cosmetics with a pass?😩

[empty river]

we dont know how they'll bring back ultimate rewards yet

[blazing sail]

Beta is super unstable for me lately

Keep crashing

Glad the rainbow is free every four days

So I don’t have to worry about ascended candles after all

Strange to only let you buy two grow/tiny spells every 18 hours tho

Since they only last a few min

Maybe they should last an hour or longer?

[kindred fossil]

immersion breaking, i guess?

[blazing sail]

Just doesn’t feel very worth it for 5 min of fun

[empty river]

they dont want it to be too overpowered i guess

[blazing sail]

Overpowered how?

It’s just a fun thing

[empty river]

imagine someone bought a ton of them and they lasted an hour each 😅

[dry pivot]

i think it's once per reset rather than every 18 hours

[empty river]

and after saving for a while they just use one after the other after the othr

[sand dawn]

So what if someone would?

[kindred fossil]

i saw a big skykid what is this is that a hacker guys help pls

[pallid badger]

😄

[sand dawn]

5 or 10 minutes is way to short..

[blazing sail]

Right now you can only get it for a few min per day so ehhhhh

Takes longer to get to the ark and buy the spell

Than the spell lasts

[sand dawn]

Not to mention gathering the resources to buy it

Lol

[blazing sail]

If you use the spell while traveling there you’ll be normal sized before you buy the next one

[sand dawn]

It should last a day really

Or 30 min at least.. xD

[empty river]

30 minutes sounds more reasonable

[blazing sail]

At least 30 min or an hour

[kindred fossil]

i did have someone ask me how to do it so...

[blazing sail]

With the ability to stop it early if you want

[sand dawn]

Yeah.. more reasonable than 5 >~<

You have that ability

[kindred fossil]

yeah i already used up mine rip

[sand dawn]

It’s just not worth the cost at all

[empty river]

you've submitted feedback yet?

[naive flame]

Is anyone having issues seeing the icon of the new spells?

[sand dawn]

Not just the giant and tiny spells either.. all temporary resize spells should last at least 30 min imo

[empty river]

there are some icons that arent finished i believe

[naive flame]

Oh

[kindred fossil]

place holders obviously

[sand dawn]

Yeah, I see no icons just solid colors for the new spells

[blazing sail]

They should let us clone ourselves for 30 min

[naive flame]

I thought I was buying green square spell 🟩

[blazing sail]

For multi-person doors

[naive flame]

Then I become a green square

For 10 minutes

[blazing sail]

And high jinks

[sand dawn]

You become a green square for 1 frame, don’t blink, you’ll miss it!

[naive flame]

@sand dawn 20 hearts per pop

[sand dawn]

[naive flame]

Are we keeping thos sconed canes btw?

[timber ridge]

I wouldn’t mind becoming a green square for a change 😆

[empty river]

those what

[sand dawn]

Those what?

[blazing sail]

What

[kindred fossil]

what

[timber ridge]

sconed canes

[kindred fossil]

the what

[empty river]

seasonal candles????

asdfsdfasd

[blazing sail]

Lol

[naive flame]

@empty river yeah

[timber ridge]

😂😂😂😂

[kindred fossil]

AHAHAHAHA

[empty river]

probably not lol

sconed canes thats a new one

[kindred fossil]

nah we're probably not keeping 'em

[empty river]

I'll put it next to seasoned candles

[timber ridge]

Season of sconed canes me needs now

[kindred fossil]

SECOND CANES AHAHAHA

[blazing sail]

Would be nice if they let us keep like 1000

[naive flame]

@kindred fossil @empty river did they say specifically tho?

[kindred fossil]

we gotta test the season morty

[pulsar edge]

Wait wut

[naive flame]

I wish I did thsi before converting my seasonal canes though

[sand dawn]

Lol wut ..

[pulsar edge]

I’m confoozed

Sconed canes?

[empty river]

ktjn said something i think i'll look it uuup

[pulsar edge]

Yeah she did

[blazing sail]

Being a giant is fun but seriously needs to be longer

[kindred fossil]

no official word, but kinda obvious isn't it?

[naive flame]

@kindred fossil xD noo my sconed canes

[kindred fossil]

we have to actually test the season, 100K second canes will kill our motivation

[blazing sail]

They don’t want us to complete everything in 5 seconds

[pulsar edge]

I wouldn't bank on getting to keep all the candles you're acquiring from this bug.

[minor robin]

... Season of enchantment... Hint at spell store has been in our faces all this time
I'm-

TGCCCCCCC

[empty river]

the tents gave it away 😔

i wish it would have been less obvious

[sand dawn]

I was hoping for a new fancy staff.. but... renewable spells are nice

[minor robin]

No I'm moth brain I was like "o pretty "

No further thoughts were had fhfhf

[empty river]

no thoughts only pretty lights

[sand dawn]

All the glyphs too..depicting spells

[minor robin]

Me: oh that's pretty too

I accept a lot of things at face value

Rip catapult, you were a good red herring

[sand dawn]

Catapult?

[kindred fossil]

in the water

[sand dawn]

I didn’t even notice that

[kindred fossil]

yeah it's just buried there

[minor robin]

There is one under the water ahaha. I was praying for a spirit of yeet. But I'm ok it didn't happen

[sand dawn]

Wonder what the next season is gonna bring..

[minor robin]

I bet it'll be at vault

[kindred fossil]

manta invasion season

[sand dawn]

Mantatack

[kindred fossil]

goddamit

[random gull]

random question but will the beta role notify if nintendo switch gets a beta too? I have finally obtained one and wanna help make the game possible for switch

[kindred fossil]

nintendo doesnt have a beta program

[minor robin]

We had belonging at forest, rhythm at valley enchantment at wasteland. Vault next in line I think

[sand dawn]

You’re so right wyiott

[minor robin]

Lmao if next quest giver is a manta ghdhdhd

[random gull]

aw sad D: oh well. hopefully devs have enough means to get a stable version live on switch

[sand dawn]

A huuuuge ancient spirit manta o.o

[minor robin]

You get too close and kidnaps you 😂

[timber ridge]

Please, a Krillipede in the destroyed library to make getting the seasonal candles more fun, with Jaws soundtrack in the background.

[sand dawn]

Gotta say, it would be more fun if the destroyed library was more of a maze, with some element to avoid... like krill

[kindred fossil]

krill skeletons to add spooky

[minor robin]

Intensee aaa imagine if a wing of vault was sealed off cause krill and creb broke in

Tho it seems like every other season releases new big areas?

If the next one doesn't have a big one, it's chill.

[sand dawn]

Meh, sample size is to small for such a conclusion

[minor robin]

Fingers crossed

[sand dawn]

Vault really needs more light, so a new area would be most welcome

(also still waiting for better rewards for opening the doors)

[kindred fossil]

you get confetti for opening the door

[minor robin]

I... I kinda low key enjoy how dark it is. Like night time. Been doing vault maze every day and I'm getting good enough to fly thru most of it.

[kindred fossil]

🎊you did it🎊

[minor robin]

Fun challenge

[empty river]

oh no

[minor robin]

From smashing my knee and face into every wall in vault archive to being able to speed run thru it

[pulsar edge]

Such is the progression of sky

[empty river]

ooh i thought you were going to propose a challenge i was mentally preparing myself lol

[blazing sail]

They put regular candles where the old seasonal candles were but they’re floating in the air? 🙃

[pulsar edge]

The challenge is for you to do the same, giccix

if you can

[sand dawn]

I found 2 bundles that were in the air

[pulsar edge]

Yeah same

[minor robin]

"wow wyiott do you have xylophone?"
"no that's just my face/knee/toe/shoulder smashing into a wall "

[pulsar edge]

Lololol

[sand dawn]

pingggg

[empty river]

diy instrument

[minor robin]

What does the moth say?
Tingtingtingtingting

[pulsar edge]

In live: “Ral are you wearing the xylophone?”
“No that’s just me eating my campfire”

(I’m still in 0.9.3)

[blazing sail]

I think after a certain number of Eden visits you should have the ability to just auto-collect all your wings after

[kindred fossil]

auto grind mode 1000 ascended

[pulsar edge]

Y’all didn’t get my joke

[kindred fossil]

i did

[pulsar edge]

It was about the flower xylophone bug

[empty river]

there there

[pulsar edge]

I’ll take it

[sand dawn]

I don’t mind getting ALL my wings back.. what is worse is missing a FEW and not knowing WHERE

[timber ridge]

Yo mean like having a giant magnet that allows you to recollect all the light from the home portal? Without even crossing the gate to Eden?

[sand dawn]

I really want an indicator to see where my missing wings are

[pulsar edge]

You just come back from Eden and all the lights just fly out of the portals at you

[minor robin]

I like the wing runs tho, keeps my memory fresh so I can help others get to them

[timber ridge]

I would want that too, or a light vacuum cleaner.

[sand dawn]

Even narrowing it down to 1 world would help a lot

[minor robin]

Flamethrower for Prairie bell tower plants > winged light vaccume. IMHO

[empty river]

but why a flamethrower

[pulsar edge]

Because flamethrowers are cool

They’re lit, if you will

[minor robin]

Why not a flamethrower Jk. 5 moths do the same thing

[sand dawn]

Power call, destroys all darkness in its range

[empty river]

what moths are you running into jsjsjs

[kindred fossil]

buff moth mode

fist fight a krill

[pulsar edge]

Yeah what moths burn the plants on the towers?

[kindred fossil]

buff moth, boff

buth

[minor robin]

Financially Desperate Moths

[empty river]

fair

[sand dawn]

Poor moths..

[kindred fossil]

you can actually become a flamethrower

[blazing sail]

[sand dawn]

Now there is yet another avenue to burn tough your candles (and hearts & ascended candles)

I wouldn’t wanna be a moth now

[pulsar edge]

I can buy so many spells with this

I’ll need to ask clement to design a handy price graphic

[kindred fossil]

[empty river]

oh my

[pulsar edge]

@sand dawn actually I feel that the fact that this is renewable will make it less daunting for the moths, cause there’s no collectors mentality

[sand dawn]

Perhaps.. yes

[minor robin]

HAHAHA DARK

[pulsar edge]

Dark how

[sand dawn]

Fun stuff

No idea how you did it tho

[empty river]

the fun is in the secret

[sand dawn]

Can you reproduce it at will?

[kindred fossil]

hmmm haven't pinpointed it yet, probably has something to do with your friend holding your hand AND piggybacking at the same time

[minor robin]

In the past I did worry about resize spell being purchasable, like if they were straight up white candles, it might toe the line into mobile gambling/gatcha. At least with the heart currency as a buffer it's not as easy for people to whale and mass buy

[blazing sail]

Wait it said there will be new spells each day?

[empty river]

uhuh

[kindred fossil]

yeah, click the question mark

[sand dawn]

I think just the same ones become available again

[blazing sail]

Hmm

[empty river]

ah thats true, we cant buy multiple

[sand dawn]

There aren’t any more spells .. I think they’re all there?

[blazing sail]

That’s why I was confused

It made it sound like we’d see diff ones each day

[sand dawn]

Also says there is a limit on how many spells total you can carry 😦

What if you’re overburdened? No more flight?

[empty river]

i'd imagine the cap is a big number tho

i have like what, 25 of one spell in live?

[sand dawn]

I guess it’s just higher than the maximum spells you could have right now

But what if you get lots of spells at Ark and then want to unlock more nodes of a spirit? Would you be forced to waste spells to make space?

Wish you could give them away

[empty river]

maybe the blessing will opt out the spell you have max of

[sand dawn]

You think the limit is for individual spells..? I got the impression you can have XX Spells total

That

[empty river]

i have no idea honestly, im just speculating

[sand dawn]

You could glow all day whahah

[empty river]

i feel like a cap per spell would make more sense lol

[kindred fossil]

yeah

hi

[empty river]

also i cant stop thinking about the possibility of us not being able to preorder the pass because we bought several already jsjsjsj

english server pls

[kindred fossil]

i'm not french, english pls

[empty river]

and on-topic

can you stop

[kindred fossil]

what

homie you want something or not

:|

[empty river]

sconed can you please stop

[kindred fossil]

im not roleplaying with you bud, go elsewhere

[hybrid hill]

Hey guys

[kindred fossil]

hi

[empty river]

back on topic

heyo

[minor robin]

Btw I just thought of something... Do you guys think the release of rainbow spell is possibly a little premature and might clash with days of rainbow?

Like.. I can imagine the confusion it might cause if someone is trying to look for rainbow candles and there are rainbows all over the place.

As nice as sky is as a game, there are gremlin troll players

[empty river]

these rainbows are sorta different

[kindred fossil]

yeeeeeah, and also it's a bit of an overkill, smaller sparkly rainbows might be cuter

[empty river]

is my game bugged jsjss

[kindred fossil]

they're brighter and can be seen from both sides, but still

[empty river]

i could barely see the rainbows when i placed them

[minor robin]

Ohhh i see, I can't test out rainbow spells cause I crashed on cutscene (reported it already)

[kindred fossil]

you need to go afar and be in an open place

[empty river]

i tested in prairie and at home

[kindred fossil]

:think:

[empty river]

going too far or too close made me lose them basically

[minor robin]

Ohh interestinggg

[blazing sail]

They should let us sell spells back to the store

[kindred fossil]

oh? maybe i need to test more

[blazing sail]

So like trade in the chair spells for 2 candles each

[sand dawn]

That’s a bad deal app

[blazing sail]

Placement of the rainbow is odd, too

[kindred fossil]

like animal crossing, prices go higher at a certain time :lol:

[blazing sail]

I thought I’d have control over the arc itself but it just appears?

Arc over an ark

[sand dawn]

@kindred fossil Stronks

[blazing sail]

I would take anything for my chair spells

1 candle would be more useful than a chair spell

[sand dawn]

Not true imo..

[dry pivot]

They should let us sell spells back to the store
@blazing sail I think this is a great idea

[blazing sail]

You don’t have to trade them in if you like them

But for those of us collecting spells we’ll never ever use... the option would be nice

[sand dawn]

Even though I have table and campfire in live, table spell is still useful for when I carry an instrument and suddenly need chat with a stranger

Less, yes! Scraps.. no..

[dry pivot]

I'd keep my chairs but I don't need resize potions anymore

[sand dawn]

3 or 4 candles for a table spell

[blazing sail]

I can’t see how more than 1-2 candles would make sense for a spell that cost 5 to begin with

[minor robin]

Why sell back tho... 1-2 candles is just running valley

[blazing sail]

Again, it’s more like a trash option with a slight reward to make it worth more than just sitting around collecting dust

[sand dawn]

I’d much prefer the option to gift unwanted spells away

[blazing sail]

Trading 3 spells you don’t want for one you do could also work

But that’s probably harder to implement

[kindred fossil]

spell trading is the future

[empty river]

the distant distant future

[minor robin]

I'd just use up what I don't want. It's a lot of coding/time/effort/Tgc resources to be able to sell stuff back I feel

I'd rather get new interesting content than worry about currency like this

[dry pivot]

gifting spells sounds nice but may cause troubles in and out of the game

[sand dawn]

It would be nice to be able to give a few glow spells to your moth friend when entering a dark area.
it’s dangerous to go alone, take this!

[minor robin]

Yeah gifting spells might encourage people to create alt/multiple accounts

[empty river]

people asking for heart trades 2.0

please nonono

[hasty vessel]

^^^

[sand dawn]

Hardly.. you’d have to farm to get those spells on your alt too

[minor robin]

Sorry to be a bit of a damper on these ideas but some people are gremlins and I worry about negative stuff affecting the game and being exploited

[dry pivot]

and black markets of spells that tgc cannot control

[sand dawn]

It’s no worse than hearts are now

[empty river]

its still really bad

[minor robin]

definitely seen some YouTubers and people talk about dragging their alt

[hasty vessel]

Why would you add to something thats already bad?

[empty river]

sure i would love to gift my friends spells

[minor robin]

It's not them playing 2x, it's them uberin themselves

[empty river]

but i dont want to see people asking to be given spells 500 times a day

[dry pivot]

pretty foreseeable

[sand dawn]

I think you’re looking at the negative side to much

[empty river]

because thats the side that worries me

[kindred fossil]

ahahaha black markets of spells

[sand dawn]

Not everyone has 2 (or more) devices that run sky, so dragging alts is not a huge issue

[minor robin]

Like TS. The concept is very good and had great intentions but look at the stress and drama it causes now...

[dry pivot]

real money trading is banned in some countries but not in mine

[blazing sail]

TS?

[spark lance]

Hello

[kindred fossil]

hi

traveling spirits, app

[spark lance]

Is those huge potion permanent or time based?

[kindred fossil]

time based, 5 minutes

[blazing sail]

Better solution is to just let us trade our spells in to the shop for ones we want

[minor robin]

Am super thankful for travelling spirit but it makes me cautious about new mechanics being introduced. It's a delicate balance

[blazing sail]

3 spells = 1

[spark lance]

@kindred fossil cool. Thank you

[sand dawn]

Also think there is a difference in how people treat an alt, if they use it for selling that’s a ban, but.. treating an alt like a full fledged character, unlocking everything with it, another story?

[blazing sail]

Most people with alts use them to unlock stuff faster

[sand dawn]

Alt abuse, call for alt rights :0

[blazing sail]

You can do one run and then use all the alts to send hearts to the one account

[lusty light]

That’s against the terms of service though

[blazing sail]

Right but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening

Like others said, people even make videos of it

[sand dawn]

It’s like.. a loaded subject

[pulsar edge]

Woah sera that’s a cool pfp

[minor robin]

Anyway alternative to exchange/trading spells is simply helping friends get spells by taking them on uber runs and gifting hearts. IMHO Spending quality time with them is nice and better than having devs implement a system that could bring all sorts of drama/exploitation to the game

[timber ridge]

Instead of exchanging spells, I wouldn´t mind the option to use them as a carrot to trap moths. Imagine putting a spell on the underwater catapult, activate it and film the whole thing from afar.
Catapult that would send the players directly to Eden.

Now that I think about it, a portable catapult to bury wherever you want would be a nice addition.

[kindred fossil]

hm too OP

[timber ridge]

Imagine putting the catapult just as the moths spawn at the start of the game lmao

[crude sluice]

#season of trick or treat? XD

[blazing sail]

Season of Trolls

[slim abyss]

season of Covid 19

[sand dawn]

Catapult spell

This should be a thing

[blazing sail]

Enchantment was covid

The devs just took away our echolocation to cut down on griefing. They’re not giving us a catapult spell 😛

[empty river]

jump on a giant manta, same effect

[blazing sail]

Giant mantas be griefing

[random gull]

I thought that taking away the call's ability to fill a whole room with light if you spammed was to stop the griefing o.o

(totally have submitted feedback on the manta calls being a lil too flashy if you have to be on top of them to light)

[blazing sail]

I don’t personally understand the removal of the echolocation but that’s the reason they gave

[old sparrow]

Does anyone know when the beta version will be open again? I would like to be a beta player

[radiant drum]

check the pins in this channel for information on beta openings

[old sparrow]

Thank you

[main pivot]

Anyone know where the orange light is?

[kindred fossil]

hidden forest, broken bridge nearby the watchtower https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/618891214527266846/715185287348617296/image0.jpg

takes awhile to appear so just camp uphigh in the trees

[clever ledge]

Map Hidden Forest

[cloud karma]

Hey, will the new market be permanent?

[autumn ridge]

it seems like it will be there after the season ends, yes

[cloud karma]

Oooh, nice

I hope it at least lasts for a month or something, or forever ofcourse

[autumn ridge]

i don't see any reason why they'd take it away

[kindred fossil]

it's staying

the ark will stay, the light quests will stay, the season will not

[cloud karma]

Ehm, what's up with 'invisible cape' named in the pins? How can you get that in the beta?

[kindred fossil]

999 hearts

[autumn ridge]

99 ascended candles too

[kindred fossil]

it's a "fun" easter egg that 'won't come any time soon, if ever'

[cloud karma]

Where can you get it? The building near whale call?

[kindred fossil]

no, from whale call itself

[cloud karma]

Ooh

I must say it's funny to have it somewhere since a lot of people speculate about such thing in #general-sky-discussion without knowing they are kinda right that it exists

[kindred fossil]

they probably do already

beta info spreads like wildfire

[cloud karma]

That's true

[solar wind]

Still upset that some of my seasonal candles didn't convert but

[spark lance]

Same

[vestal patio]

I don’t have beta but I saw that you can preorder the new adventure pass. I was wondering if it told you how many more days until it comes out? I just got excited and was wondering when I would be able to see the cosmetics. Sorry if I interrupted anyone.

[crisp plinth]

The only thing on the new season we have so far is the pre order
Nothing else yet

[vestal patio]

Okay, thanks! I will just check up on it later

[lusty light]

@main pivot please don’t post off topic videos

[jade night]

And ur pfp gets creepier yet again

[analog citrus]

Do you have to finish the seasonal constellation (or does the season have to be over) to get the market or just get the orange light? In live we all get the market this weekend then?

[minor robin]

no, you just need to complete the light quests and give them to the questgiver at ark. the cutscene/market will appear. And live will likely get the market soon but idk if it’ll be on the weekend for everyone cause... timezones. the quest happens on monday for me

[analog citrus]

so the constellation completion is for?????

[minor robin]

satisfaction and the ultimate reward

a player can choose not to finish the seasonal spirit cost trees, but if it comes back as a traveller and they want to get something from it, then it’ll cost hearts/candles to get it

[analog citrus]

the season was "over" in beta so I didn't know if anything ever comes of the blinking flag in the center of the constellation

[minor robin]

ktjn’s confirmed it is the same cutscene.

the benefit of having it in the seasonal constellation is being able to rewatch/relive it multiple times until the season is over

which I can imagine, will be pretty fun if someone has giant/tiny spell active

[analog citrus]

just a bit jankey in execution. Some people have the constellation complete but cant see the cutscene cause they dont have the lights. and others dont have the constelation done. so do they not see the flag? even if they have all the lights?

and cant "re-live" it untill they do?

[blazing sail]

Yeah not the best execution. Maybe next season they’ll have that sorted

[minor robin]

really? I’m kinda okay with how it is. If they don’t have the ark quest lights... the how can the ark itself be restored? The cutscene has all the razzledazzle and it wouldn’t make sense for someone with a green sanded ark to see it. Reliving the cutscene can be considered a bonus gift of appreciation for people who did complete the constellation and bought the pass.

ever player who has completed and turned in the ark light quests at ark will experience the cutscene at least once.

and considering ark will stay after the season and be accessible to new players post season, it’s very nice already? If someone wants to see the cutscene again, they can always check out youtube

[blazing sail]

Referring the flag in the constellation

Not the best way to store the cutscene if it means a blinking red light until the ark quests end

They might want to just rethink the flag thing

At least for seasons

Or just have a message when someone completes the constellation and get rid of the blinking red light

[minor robin]

ah yeah, it can be pretty distracting on the UI. def something for feedback

[analog citrus]

Also, what are the "scrolls" mentioned in the beta update. spells and potions i get but never heard anything refered to as a scroll before

[blazing sail]

I guess the rainbow spell is a scroll

[analog citrus]

-the sixth light quest should now be working correctly (Reminder this quest will not hit Live until June 8th)

doesn't it say 4 days in live when you click on the ?

[kindred fossil]

oh huh

[analog citrus]

sry for all the ??? here, I know, FEEDBACK! but im stuck in slowmode

[blazing sail]

Yeah I thought it’s next week in live

[radiant drum]

It's possible they will announce in news if the quest is postponed in live

Hopefully before monday

[analog citrus]

I wonder if the prices and method of payment (ascended, hearts, candles) will change as they come and go. I assume we have them all available right now so we can test and just a few or one at a time will be available when this goes live. Because the of the "check back each day" for new stuff note.

[empty river]

i believe that refers to spells refreshing ^^ since you cant buy a spell more than once in a day

[analog citrus]

hmmmm

[empty river]

sorry not day, but after their cooldown is over, which is several hours

[knotty whale]

what’s a rainbow spell ?

[empty river]

it spawns a rainbow!

[knotty whale]

ooh that’s so cool

[empty river]

you can place it in the way you would place a table

[knotty whale]

cool !

[atomic yoke]

I’m gonna put Skittles in that rainbow

So that it’ll be tasty

[vapid briar]

the delay was announced in the patch notes, but no one reads those

[bitter plover]

the delay was announced in the patch notes, but no one reads those :blobpain:
@vapid briar For the record I did read it lol, so at least one...

[vapid briar]

three weeks.

[bitter plover]

wait I remember two weeks too when I read it.. --- ok went back and checked, it did say THREE weeks...

[empty river]

ktjnn is the preorder for next season supposed to be there? 👀

[astral surge]

it was probably changed to three weeks so the team has more time for development, and we did have a small setback with the patch update chaos of last week

[lusty bay]

Emmm hello why did they put the cat spirit back?

[analog citrus]

I remember the patch notes being posted then taken down then reposted and changed a couple times so

[astral surge]

weasel. and it's randomly selected

it can repeat at any time

also, some of the spells don't even have icons yet

and the error in the numbers should be fixed soon.

[elder musk]

three weeks.
Patch note (14 May) for live indeed states 3 weeks between 5th and 6th light, but countdown today says "Available in 4 days"...

[analog citrus]

just letting them know that a little better messaging is needed. alot of people dont scour the patch notes or discord and just play in game. They gonna be confused

thats what were all here for right?

[blazing sail]

I’m confused. The node still says 4 days

Definitely gonna be some mayhem on Monday

[vapid briar]

working on getting it fixed.

it was pushed back because of all the emergency fixes last week.

[blazing sail]

Staying out of general chat on Monday. (And always)

[elder musk]

May 14 patchnote which says 3 weeks (https://thatgamecompany.helpshift.com/a/sky-children-of-the-light/?s=patch-notes&f=patch-notes---may-14-2020---0-9-2-149422&l=en ) timestamp: Last Updated: 5d - so it got updated on 22 May. I also remember 2 weeks.

[vapid briar]

it was pushed back because of all the emergency fixes last week.

[blazing sail]

Sorry I just can’t resist that emote

[atomic yoke]

Me when I’m hungry

[hasty vessel]

Another week?! Time to crawl under a rock

[lunar zealot]

So June 8 instead? I was excited for the shops, but i would want them in a more finished state than they are now. So i can wait another week

[astral surge]

as long as it's stable and fun i'm okay with whatever wait

[slim abyss]

yo

[royal elm]

i can wait, these don't even have icons yet after all

and huge/tiny definitely cause some weird things to happen

[slim kayak]

There are a whole lot of platforms in vault 4th floor now

[empty river]

really?

what does that floor have

[autumn ridge]

it already has a ton of platforms in live

home to the spirit manta call and meditation emote

[kindred fossil]

those platforms are from gratitude and lightseekers

[sly wind]

There is a new season icon

[empty river]

thank you dark!

[kindred fossil]

yeah, and that's it

[sly wind]

Leak

[empty river]

just wanted to confirm it was those ones ^^

[autumn ridge]

i mean the next season should be in vault (considering that it has been going sequentially thru the realms...)

[kindred fossil]

we don't know, it's just there

[empty river]

its literally a single icon

[kindred fossil]

i have some guesses on the exact realm already, but i'll wait a little more

yeah

[empty river]

maybe they turned them on by accident jsjssjs

[kindred fossil]

this gives me hope for my bull boi 🥺

yeye

[crisp plinth]

Now people can practice getting up those platforms for vault lightseekers 😝

[minor robin]

another thing about the delay for live: this morning I updated the patch but my android still got the server error crash when I tried handing in the light. it’s working now but who knows if other android beta ppl are still experiencing it my phone is also still overheating a lot too.

the wait time is worth it if it means all platforms can experience it with no problems

[blazing sail]

Beta is still laggy and crashy for me but I don’t think live is

[minor robin]

Yeah... some areas are still laggy for me. But atm I'm chalking it up to my phone being old.

[blazing sail]

I really should upgrade my iPad this year but I don’t wanna lose the home button and get that ugly home bar 😦

I pushed off the inevitable on my phone by getting the SE

But it seems like a downgrade to go from an iPad Pro to a regular iPad

[minor robin]

which ipad pro are you using? I got iPad Pro, biggest size. 2nd gen

[blazing sail]

The 10.5” from 2017

I love it. It’s been great. But it’s starting to suffer with some newer games

[minor robin]

oh hey we’re both using the 2017 one then, just different sizes I think.

[blazing sail]

I wouldn’t go bigger

[minor robin]

aha, I had to go big cause I use this for art too.

[blazing sail]

Altho I guess I would have to go to 11” now lol

[elfin quest]

So I was going through some old beta news and I saw a mention of spirit names? Could someone explain

[blazing sail]

I was happy with the 9.7” iPad before that

[edgy canopy]

The spirits were given placeholder “names”

[blazing sail]

The bigger they get, the clumsier they are for games

[elfin quest]

Such as?

[hard barn]

@blazing sail ... don’t mean to interrupt but if you still want a 10.5” screen then I would recommend the iPad Air 3rd Gen 2019

[blazing sail]

Yeah, the problem is it seems a little crazy to spend all that money on something that won’t be much of an upgrade

[crisp plinth]

Spirit names were kinda wonky, I can't remember a lot off the top of my head tho

Enchantment qg was Enchantment Guide iirc

Someone took pictures of all of them

[hard barn]

That’s fair enough, thought you just wanted rid of your old one... it’s good quality

[blazing sail]

Backflip Champion

[kindred fossil]

placeholder spirit names archive: https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/618891214527266846/708836404976681000

[minor robin]

oof yeah, droppin hundreds might be a bit much, maybe wait a bit longer

[blazing sail]

Nah I don’t want to get rid of it. It just seems time to upgrade but I like doing it every 3 years so getting something slightly better doesn’t make a whole lot of sense

[crisp plinth]

Thanks dark

[hard barn]

Ah I guess that makes sense...

[blazing sail]

I just wish Apple would take games more seriously considering they just released a gaming subscription service 🤷‍♀️

[minor robin]

I was kinda charmed by how slightly wonky the names were. Sky kids are kids. Don’t know how to read, don’t know math, just got dumped from sky to land.

[blazing sail]

They still don’t let you hide that home bar. And I know I would accidentally close games while I’m recording

I really don’t understand the need to get rid of the Home button. I like it. It serves a function

[minor robin]

apple’s sense of minimalism is getting more brutal with every gen, it feels. I’m sticking with my ipad for as long as humanly possible

[vapid drum]

It’s just some getting used to , i cant go without the no home button anymore

[finite pumice]

Heartily recommend the 7th gen iPad, 10.2”.

[blazing sail]

Soon they’ll do away with the screen

[minor robin]

yes just project stuff into our brains/dreams. sneep snorp sky shall be possible

[vapid drum]

General question on beta , are there more people not being able to find certain friends in their friend constellation

[short gale]

What is the ||rainbow scroll?||

[crisp plinth]

New spell

[vapid drum]

Already send bug report in last update but its still not fixed

[blazing sail]

I haven’t tried

[kindred fossil]

let's you place a rainbow like a god

[autumn ridge]

does it have a time duration?

[kindred fossil]

no

[crisp plinth]

Do you have a lot of friends rob? I haven't had trouble but I have like twenty friends at most in beta

[short gale]

Oh it’s just the rainbow spell, I thought it was an item

[blazing sail]

If we’re really gonna play god we should destroy the world first and then make rainbows

[autumn ridge]

so it's just there forever?

[vapid drum]

Yes mini , but i cant refresh the constellation

[kindred fossil]

eden got us covered

just place the rainbow there

if you go the rainbow goes

[crisp plinth]

It's probably like the table- it's there until you leave the area

[autumn ridge]

so everyone around you can also see it?

[kindred fossil]

goes as in vanishes

yes

[crisp plinth]

poof

[kindred fossil]

unless you vanish

[minor robin]

aa that’s good to know. I logged in this morning and got confused trying to find the rainbow candles. Had to look at the ends of 4 of them ghfhg

[autumn ridge]

is it only visual or does it recharge you or something?

[kindred fossil]

visual

[blazing sail]

Haha people gonna use the rainbows to troll?

[crisp plinth]

The rainbows for the quest are lighter, aren't they?

[kindred fossil]

yeah

ones we place are brighter and can be seen on both sides

[minor robin]

I do worry about that trolling aspect a bit. but if the rainbow candle duration is longer, should be ok.

[blazing sail]

I don’t think they disappear now?

[kindred fossil]

quest rainbows are faint and can only be seen on one

[minor robin]

like.. rip if a newbie moth is trying to find the rainbow candles in a non-stop rain map and there’s a bunch of them. gotta check the end, recharge, check another

[kindred fossil]

smaller rainbows

i'll post my feedback i swear

[crisp plinth]

Biggest hint is candles at the end of it. Buuuttt I can see the bug reports of "no candles" rolling in already

[minor robin]

or rip q&h if people say they found a rainbow and no candles, only to get the wrong one oof. and yeah I posted feedback about that too. small rainbows would be less visually confusing

[blazing sail]

I think they made the candles stand out a bit more?

But it’s too bad they’re not actually rainbow candles

[minor robin]

og glow spell the candles

[soft hatch]

Hi

[minor robin]

or give them star lensflare aura?

[stone flicker]

Hi

[blazing sail]

Give them Huge spell

[autumn ridge]

are the rainbow candle quests special or are they part of the dailies?

[blazing sail]

Both

[crisp plinth]

Personally, I think the rainbow spell would look better if it was just a little rainbow arch for you and your friends to mess around with

[minor robin]

yes. burn the visuals into my retinas so when I close my eyes I can still see their afterimage

[kindred fossil]

Hhahah

or recolor them white, so it looks like a cloud

[blazing sail]

Make it a double rainbow

[autumn ridge]

so are they like an extra quest or just a part of the regular 4?

[minor robin]

q&h: “where is rainbow candles today?”
Me: “my man, my dude, my moth, lemme just close my eyes to check “

[kindred fossil]

part of regular

[crisp plinth]

it's a double rainbow!!

[autumn ridge]

oh is it still every hour or did they make it more frequent?

[kindred fossil]

don't know

[minor robin]

I saw the rainbow + candle bunch at x:30

[kindred fossil]

aren't they on 24 or do i need to check now

[worn field]

i think they're probably on all day, based on this, but idk

-enabled rainbows in all zones for testing purposes

[minor robin]

huh, maybe ironing out visuals + location first before going (possibly) into timers

[worn field]

that would make sense

[crisp plinth]

I've not been anywhere but ark today

Exploring time ig

[worn field]

i see no rainbow in bird nest or villages or butterfly fields

[empty river]

no rainbow in forest either

[worn field]

hmmm

[autumn ridge]

oh and the regular rainbow, timed with the clock still works the same?

[worn field]

found prairie rainbow

[kindred fossil]

yeah its not related to the event

outcast

[worn field]

prairie rainbow is at the beginning of the caverns area, just outside the big cave entrance

[vapid drum]

With candle ??

[kindred fossil]

forest is after the social hub

[worn field]

yes with candle cake

[crisp plinth]

So we get an extra cake a day with this event

[vapid drum]

Oeh nice , so is isle included too??

I’m in bed already

[crisp plinth]

No quests in isle

[worn field]

i'll check isle

[crisp plinth]

So idk why

[worn field]

oh right

prolly no isle rainbow if there's no quests there

[crisp plinth]

Might be a little distracting for moths as well

[kindred fossil]

isle got rainbow bridge

[worn field]

heh

[minor robin]

dark big brain as usual

[worn field]

maybe it'll get upgraded to look like a real rainbow

[main pivot]

Anyone else think the tiny/huge spells are a bit too pricy, or is it just me?

[worn field]

i think the price is fine, personally

[main pivot]

True, but I feel it’s a bit much for something that lasts a total of ten minutes

[worn field]

it's quite a silly spell

[minor robin]

I think the time duration could be better tho, gonna leave feedback on that later

[storm vessel]

They are all too pricey for something not permanent.

[vapid drum]

Nothing in isle

[worn field]

if they were cheap i think they'd get used too much

[vapid drum]

They speed up the trip to the temple

[worn field]

it'd be weird to see giants and tiny kids all the time

[vapid drum]

It goes really fast now

[main pivot]

I mean I can understand the other stuff in the spell shop being pricy because it’s the only way to choose which one you get but for something that isn’t random, I think it’s a little much to ask for 20 candles

[vapid drum]

Poor isle , it’s like the child that’s not allowed to play or participate☹️

[worn field]

for me, the tiny and huge spells feel silly enough that i don't think they should even be in the game

[minor robin]

nah isle’s like chill with retired grampa

[main pivot]

I mean unless they do smth like the chibi mask that’s basically a permanent shrink spell

[vapid drum]

Even grandpa needs to party once in a while

[minor robin]

tbh I’m kinda fascinated by the currency difference between swing set vs. campfire spells. one was iap vs. ultimate reward

[worn field]

yeah

[blazing sail]

I said this earlier, but it takes longer to get to the ark to buy the spells than the spells last

[worn field]

i don't see that as a huge problem

[blazing sail]

[minor robin]

it’s not too bad of a trip if the player is a regular candle run grinder. the wax yield/time for running wasteland ark is better than going up vault elevator

[worn field]

they added candles to the ark, too, so there's even more wax there now for candle runners

[blazing sail]

TGC has trained everyone really well not to value their time 😬

[minor robin]

I think a fun secret way to get to ark tho, would be to put a portal entrance behind wasteland’s entrance. so it’s like doublesided

if you wanna streamline ark, then do the every-other-day method. like, day 1: go to ark last. day 2: use return shrine to go to ark first

repeat ahahaa

[blazing sail]

Case in point. Everyone’s ok with every little thing taking way more time than necessary

You shouldn’t have to spend 10 min to travel to a shop to buy a spell that lasts 5 min

[minor robin]

but that’s also assuming you have the currency to burn every day

[blazing sail]

Doesn’t have to be every day to be a waste of time

Just like Eden doesn’t have to be every day/week to be a waste of time

[kindred bluff]

i feel like there should at least be a "skip cutscene" or a ark portal by the home return shrine in the wasteland hup

[worn field]

i don't think the spell-shop is really meant to be treated as sky-amazon

[kindred bluff]

similar to the home portals

[blazing sail]

The ark should just have its own portal

[kindred bluff]

you enter wasteland take a right and boom! ark portal!

you could go to the boat if you wanted the cutscene, however

[minor robin]

ohh like in social space? aaa that would be pretty cool, a boat moored before Da Flush (tm)

[worn field]

this way, it feels natural that you need to make a long trip to find the place where potions can be made. it has meaning to the sky-world, instead of being an arbitrary shop thing (like the candle pack shop)

[kindred bluff]

yeah! i mean hub as in the social space with the closet lol

i mean, maybe they should at least not trap players when they enter ark for the first 7 seconds and make a skippable first cutscene? ah, maybe i can deal with the cutscene more but i dont like being trapped in the boat lol

dont get me wrong i appreciate the boat but, i cant even get to the back half of the boat D:

[worn field]

i enjoy the boat ride, it's part of the experience of making the trip to visit ark, for me. i don't want to just teleport in, complete a shopping list, then teleport out

[crisp plinth]

I like to see how fast I can jump out of the boat 😌

Sometimes it lets me out really early

[minor robin]

same, usually I’m chatting with a friend on the trip to ark before I hurl myself off the boat and into the cloud ahaha

[blazing sail]

Will you still like it after 3000 boat trips?

[minor robin]

alternatively: do pushups while waiting for cutscene to finish

[worn field]

i've been many times already

[blazing sail]

Do you still like the prairie cutscenes?

[worn field]

yep

[blazing sail]

[worn field]

i realise im maybe the one person who doesn't hate them

[kindred bluff]

i have like a list of unnecessary cutscenes in my head

i dislike the starter valley race ones the most

[minor robin]

prairie cutscenes, are the #1 cutscenes I could do without. it’s like.... the only cutscene that makes me resent other players for triggering them too early

[kindred bluff]

ive glitched out and waited for other players to trigger it so it wouldnt be unfair just so i wouldnt have to go through the cutscene

[crisp plinth]

Prairie cutscenes are annoying, but I make it a game to see if I can get far away enough to not be caught in them when they activate

[minor robin]

mood mini, if the belltower plants are done burning I hurl myself off the cliff and into the cloudsea to force the camera panning to stop

[kindred bluff]

how bout those back to back cutscenes in eden ||after you enter through the door?|| did it have to be two??

[crisp plinth]

I always burn the plants by the candles first because I'm extra careful and ik I can avoid lighting them

[blazing sail]

Sky: Children of Escaping Cutscenes

[kindred bluff]

and those cutscenes when you relive the wide stance spirit where it just zooms in on the krill?

gahjh

[crisp plinth]

That's the first krill in gw- I think the idea is to teach moths about krill in general

[minor robin]

I really don’t like the fact that I resent players for triggering cutscene btw. I know it’s not their fault for being eager or having a different order of burning. It’s a game mechanic

[spark lance]

the cutscene everytime you slide down into valley, lol

[crisp plinth]

That's why it gets the poor manta every time

[kindred bluff]

sky: try to escape the eden cutscene and get ||hit by a rock in the face and have to walk the path of shame with no light||

[blazing sail]

I sometimes burn it when I’m trying to get my 10 darkness burned and others are beating me to it

Lighting the candles gets you like 5 right there

[kindred bluff]

i feel like setting off the cutscenes in prairie is something you should be able to do/witness or something that only triggers when you stand right infront of the candles

[worn field]

i feel like the cutscenes would be less disliked if there wasn't the rush to get through quests and/or candle runs. since those can be tedious, so you may just wanna get them over with asap so you can go and actually have fun at your own pace

[spark lance]

its tough, because making changes to make the game play faster seems kind of contradictory to the slow, relaxed pace the game wants you to vibe with

[minor robin]

speed runnning is legitimately my way of having fun tho. I don’t care about wax/quests as much anymore but I really enjoy nailing a good flight route

[kindred bluff]

i think the cutscene where the doors open to the temple in valley are also unnecessary, i mean i can see the doors open from afar,, theyre humungous!!

[blazing sail]

I just don’t like having to keep switching servers to try to get my quests done

[kindred bluff]

oh yeah fr with the manta quest

that quest is just,,, kinda silly

[worn field]

the manta quest is pretty broken, yeah

[kindred bluff]

i mean its more of a struggle than an accomplishment

[blazing sail]

It hurts the most when it pops just as you land there

[minor robin]

valley doors might serve a purpose tho, like, I’ve glitched thru those doors before the candles were lit and there is a lot of differences between it and the race post white candle lighting/cutscene

[worn field]

especially since it feels unnatural. reminds you that servers exist, and you're not just vibing in sky-land

[kindred bluff]

imm,, not the only one bothered by people screaming by doors for that same reason,,,, right?

[minor robin]

w-HAT when did surprised-oreo make it debut

[worn field]

a few weeks ago maybe

[kindred bluff]

i love suprised oreo

i havent seen this one wht

[spark lance]

a good boy

[kindred bluff]

anyways yeah!! im just generally not a big fan of cutscenes that repeat stopping you in your tracks to make you focus on something even if its like right infront of you or the thing that stands out the most in a scene

i have fun working my away around em but yknow,, its kinda like giving a tutorial to someone whos played the game thousands of times every day

[worn field]

btw, wyiott, valley ice seems to be back to normal

[minor robin]

I think I’ve read a dev say that they’re also to hide loading times of certain levels. also I have a theory that it’s also to help with server merging/matching.

[blazing sail]

I consider this surprised Oreo

And this is “the world is ending” oreo
