i see
I mean not actively farming
i go through eden because it's thrilling to go through
Like I said, you earn hearts without even trying and even candles can trickle in just from playing a bit
the ascended candles are like a bonus
Ok that’s great but I don’t think there should be outside pressure to spend that time
That’s what I’m talking about here
perhaps, yeah. i'm still undecided about that.
but so far, ascended candles aren't essential to enjoying the game
so i don't think it's a critical issue
If the flying bits of Eden could be skipped and the game didn’t make you manually collect all your wings for the 1000th time, I could see an argument for “just doing Eden for fun”
Is it 10 ascended candles for 3 resize?
It’s one eden run.. for 3 resizes... and you have some ascended candles to spare..
I think that’s a good deal
Again, I’m not talking about the specific item
I think the spells are for people have a stock of hundreds of ascended candles already
Just the general idea of giving people a reason to endlessly play Eden other than for fun
i think it's worth my time to go through the game, collecting winged light and going all the way through eden, for the same reason it's worth it to do essentially the same thing in Journey (which doesn't even offer cosmetics and spells and whatnot, the white cloak being the single exception)
Over and over and over and over and over? Really?
yeah
I like recollecting my wings.. if I never had to do that.. I might just forget a few..!
it's like a ritual
I don't like Eden runs much either so I am happy that we didn't need ascended candles for a cosmetic but for consumable spells
as long as i don't rush, it's fine
I guess I just really don’t understand the F2P mentality and never will
And I probably will just have to move on soon
oh
What you you mean with F2P mentality?
This idea of just endlessly and mindlessly repeating the same actions to slowly earn in-game items. Most games I play value my time a lot more than that.
I think it's more like MMO mentality
Ok we’re going in circles so I’m gonna go and get my day started
I agree the game needs more randomization (in the right places...)
i'd just say the point of the game isn't getting items. the point is your relationships. the only reason the items are there are to have something fun to do with friends (e.g. rainbow spells, fireworks), expressing yourself with cosmetics (which is important for relationships, as long as we do wear cosmetics based on which ones express ourselves, instead of "flexing" expensive cosmetics).
if you aren't finding yourself using items to bond with friends and genuinely grow closer, you may be able to provide valuable feedback about it to tgc
I think everyone plays the game for their own reasons (which may vary from day to day)
And every reason is equally valid (as long as it causes no grief to anyone)
I mostly play the game because of the realistic sound effects and visual effects, the sound effects are very calming and collecting light and candles feels rewarding and you get to express yourself and socialize with many players, I love to explore and it's such a intense interesting game, I just love to enjoy the beautiful, realistic surrounding, other than that idk why I play the game 😂
Appunwrapper, from a different perspective: hearts aren't quite effortless. The sender does have to spend white candles on them and white candles are purchasable via store. If the person they send hearts to uses it for resize, there is an element of random chance.
This could be interpreted gambling. Which EU and certain countries have strict laws against. Especially in games accessible to minors.
Having resize purchasable strictly with ascendant candles eliminates that. Also can you imagine the uptick of heart begging the community would experience? Not everyone is an old player. Not everyone who wants resize potions is done all their cosmetics. Ascendant candles are way easier to earn for the majority of people.
Your always busy collecting light to unlock items, that could also be why it's so addicting and why people get so drawn to playing it all the time. Xd
I play because I come to see the genuinely sweet people I have met both Beta and live. But I am a touch bored with the maps. Which is sad that I'm gritting teeth to get through such pretty places. But it all flys by when we are all together chatting away . So I come back. Also i like testing the bugs in beta its interesting. I do want new lands. I wonder if TGC can expand without blowing up mobile devices.
I've been playing sky for at least a month now and I that's pretty much the reasons for why I still play it, I don't think ive gone one day without playing sky to be honest. Xd
Yeah I'm getting bored of the maps.
I like reading these convo text walls tbh
I want more constalations and new maps to unlock, and mabey more accessories?...
Difficult maps with challenges that I can get my teeth into. Requiring creative thinking
Yes! I love the challenging maps, I sometimes go into the eye of Eden just for fun because of the challenging obstical courses you have to go through.
i've heard from some that it was still possibly (though difficult), though that was a couple builds ago
remember to submit a bug report if something unexpectedly changes 
Chibi movements are different but still possible if not easier.
I have been using new way and like it
Chibi is still a caffeinated little OOB stinker
Ahaha, thanks a lot
Has anyone been able to open the shop without crashing?
I can
yes, in the most recent update (build 150134)
^
Yes, tried it, no changes to the shop though
Not sure it’s okay to post here but is there anyone who can help me open the 2-person door at the vault?
#looking-for-group-live for live, #beta-looking-for-group for beta
You still need help?
yes, in the most recent update (build 150134)
@worn field
how to update via android?
i'm not certain, unfortunately, since i don't have much experience with android 
Thanks

I just open google play store, go to children of the light beta and hit the update button.
I just open google play store, go to children of the light beta and hit the update button.
@minor robin I clicked but an error appears
oh damn... that’s never happened to me before.
sorry I’m not quite sure what to do to resolve that. maybe wait a few hours and hope it works properly
message something went wrong, try againmessage something went wrong, try again
or restart device
I restart the device but it didn't work
browses Android bug reports
Wait.. how does someone have many thousands of normal candles?
I mean.. the hearts to get the No-cape can be acquired
(we are well on our way to boost one lucky friend in our group)
But over 6000 candles is... what?!
There are some candles that come with event iap.. if they didn't spend any. But that's not nearly enough to get 6000
how could anyone candle run in beta 
It's almost impossible to get as many candles you get in live from running in beta
Since you cant open most doors
I hope the new season is soon because I'm getting bored of everything
make some new friends 
I am
I wish it told you have many friends you have
So you know when you get too 80 friends
have ya suggested it
No
ok
Donut, even if the season is soon in beta, you'll still have to wait like 3 months for the season after that. if that's not fast enough for you to not get bored, you'll need to find another way to hold your interest.
It's alright to take a break from sky if it's getting really boring for you. You can come back with a fresh perspective and find the joy in it again 
better to miss something than to force yourself to play a game without enjoying it 
I just look forward to traveling spirits
Missing one thing isn't too big of a deal. We know traveling spirits repeat, so you'd still have a chance if it's something you really love
i believe if content is the main thing that interests you in sky, you're in danger of burning out
sky was designed for us to play mainly for the sake of growing closer with friends in-game. the content is only there to supplement that. 
I'll just try and make friends then
When the cosmetic burnout got to me I found some other stuff to have fun with too! I started practicing the in game sheet music and trying to make songs on my own 
I've been into OOB lately as well, it's a fun time discovering things I never knew about after having explored pretty much everywhere in bounds already
I've been trying to learn music
gathering friends to go glitch areas is very fun too
But I can only play one sheet
the less skill you have with something, the more room you have to grow
yup
enjoy the #journey
I feel like I need to be able to play a whole song and not a sheet though
I keep myself occupied with speed running and challenges. For example: valley citadel. the candles on the 8 pillars
are you able to get all the wax straight up flying?
no stopping on pillars, no bumping into them. All 8 in one go.
Not yet
and prairie birds nest: with the exception of the 2 candles on the dock, can you get all the candles while continuously flying?
ark crab maze: wait for server merge to burn everything on the map, fly through the maze and get all the wax without touching the floor. it’s doable 
No wyiott, I always knock my legs on the bird call tower candles 
It's just hard to get those candles under that one island in birds nest
the trick for those is to boost to do some low flying skimmin
and do a flip up or a spin so you don’t get sticky feet
Ooh! Here's one I do! Valley citadel, start at the highest point, fly up and dive down through the big set of rings without hitting any
yeah the candles under the islands are tough, I’ve managed to not touch the ground in the tunnel once.
another oob practice challenge: go to valley oob above the water and set up a table midair. Try to land on the table. I still need to practice that. ark’s oob mushrooms required that skill and basically my friends hard carried me though it RIP
(didnt the mushrooms get removed?)
you just tap the icon in your emote menu, if you’re high enough it’ll just spawn midair. it’s doable at home
(yeah they did, but still when they were active I wasn’t able to lead or be much help getting them)
(oh ok lol)
anyway, there’s plenty of content left in Sky if you choose to challenge yourself.
If you've got a table you can table climb somewhere or take qg into the air with others! I end up table climbing with complete strangers all the time
Is it possible to table climb alone
Yes, you'd need to fly up, place the table, and land on it. You'd either need a bonfire to stay recharged tho, or have a lot of instant recharge potions
You can bring a friend without a table as free recharge tho
If only I had bonfire
But I'm Android so missed alot
Might be able to get it one day if they bring ulitmate rewards back
Yeah, and if you just start climbing in home others may see and join in!
doing stuff with a friend is more fun I feel. I joined in jan 2020 so I missed bonfire as well.
but tbh with 6 months of playing, I’ve been doing perfectly fine without it
Alot of the friends I meet I never talk too again or quit
aww, hopefully you’ll find a group that’ll stick around. but it is in the nature of all games for people to come and go. even Sky’s theme itself is all about cycles and helping others, while saying goodbye to some.
I friended alot of people from this discord though
Good luck table climbing with this change to tables.. every time someone new joins, they have to first sit at all the tables once
The tables become solid when the owner of it is lit, no?
So you just have to light them
I like the new table changes
Because I saw someone covered that one tunnel in prairie cave with a table so no one could get it
@crisp plinth not how it works, you need to sit on the table first for it to get solid
So even people you've lit up can't collide with the table?
seems that way
Ahh we should try that. If it is that way I have feedback to give lmao
actually it seems a bit bugged, even friends pass through my table until they sit down. i tested with chia today. still need to bug report
yeee
still want to do more testing with strangers
uninstalled but now I can't install it anymore
@radiant pendant make sure you're signed into the right email in the play store
So the whole landing on sombody elses table thing that was used so nicely to get the oob mushrooms and the juggle emote spirit pretty much goes away now huh?
preventing griefing is a worthy cause
i think griefing is being used as an excuse to kill alot of the fun stuff
why would they want to kill the fun stuff for us
cause we dont play the game "correct"
I think it's a bug cause patch notes specifically say it's to prevent strangers from having collision with your table, not friends.
some instances of table griefing: covering home constellation rock/ blocking prairie cave entrance / putting it on top of musicians/ spawning it on top of ark boat so the cutscene clotheslines people and they drop into the dark water
the “not having a solid friend’s table before you sit at it” is probably a bug
as st said
those are some of the examples I’ve heard of, tho haven’t personally experienced but I can imagine the distress it causes. it is behavior that is definitely not inline with sky’s core values
maybe they should do a better job and make it easier and a more obvious way to report the problem people than nerf the fun and expensive things (chair, fireworks)
human nature is hard to regulate 🏃♂️
spamming unlimited fireworks until the game collapses on itself is fun
Idk bout that tbh, reporting individuals requires staff to review cases/evidence. that’s a ton of time and manpower
I’d rather have staff take care of the super serious problems like severely inappropriate harrassment, rather than griefers.
Fireworks staff spam used to crash the game before, although the timer might be annoying at times you want to have unlimited fun, its not only meant to address the issues it had player to player (like obscuring view), but to actually make sure the game do not crash (or bugs out in random, unexpected ways) as well.
if this table nerf cuts down on griefing, it clears up possible reports and people/minors who do report serious cases can get their reports seen faster and dealt with.
the cooldown period isn't even that long man 
can still put on a pretty impressive show
@icy falcon especially if the watcher "freezes" the game
also we got android peeps, my phone already heats up if someone spams
for over a minute. I can’t imagine how fireworks spam from multiple people would heat up my phone 

and if you have two boomsticks you can take turns! 
@minor robin I've noticed however with emotes that have sounds do become quieter as they are spammed
Game would literally be unplayable Wyiott. Even for the iOS platform. It would lag badly 
Maybe we need to get 8 people all moving tables around at the same time
Or better, 8 people with fireworks
The madness that was 2018 (or 2019? was the new year going into 2019 at least) new years. We all got gifted fireworks spells to use throughout the day. And you would know when it was midnight for some. Game would like freeze or lag for a duration if you merged with people that was spamming the staff

does the fire not recharge strangers now unless they sit?
@analog citrus not until they light up the player with the fire
It's like the ghosting tables I believe
so if i put the fire down for sombody when were burning the last waste plant we have to light each other and they have to sit first? ug
BTW just added feedback on new spell icons, but thought I'd also give a brief idea here.
I think having the bubble indicating temporaryness of a spell would be a good indicator to visually differentiate resize with tiny and huge spells, my though that it would be "time bubbled" to a limited period, whereas resize should have no bubble as it is permanent.
Thoughts?
Yeah the icons need some improvment. They are not really helpful right now. no consistency and kinda confusing untill you press on them
Temporary and permanent spells could definitely have designs the set them apart like that yeah
Id like to hear from the oob community about the changes to the chibi step and these table / fire changes.
At first I was wondering about a die 🎲 icon above the resize instead of arrows, to indicate its randomness
@analog citrus it's harder but still possible
I actually kinda like it now, but took ages to figure out with friends how to do it, then learn to pull it off reliably
gotta keep trying, i cant seem to make chibi step work for me
places that were consistent in live are difficult in beta
Please share @dire escarp .... or post a new vid 😀
@lyric kite I wondered that, but the icons should represent that wordless, but would agree on the changes
@analog citrus I may do a vid, but wanna fire me a beta qr and we can go practice in Isle (that's where we learnt to do it again)
maelstrom, could i send you one too 
ok... when i get home... thx
@hidden quarry @analog citrus sure, the more the merrier
(They could just make the table not work in certain spots? Like the constellation hub?)
What worked for me:
- hop left so the camera is over left shoulder (not sure if it matters, but I find it easier)
- drag foot using right thumb
- left thumb drag forward slowly and about 1/4 of the screen
- lift right hand
- split second later lift left hand
oof... im a one hander
Not tried it one handed tbh
Didn’t check myself, but can the table still interfere with your constellation view even when you can’t collide with it?
The issue for me was always that it would just take over my whole view
I feel chat interferes more for me that tables
like im always poking a person of their text when im lighting people up
But Ive never had a serious problem with harassers. I must just be lucky
I've had unfortunate experiences with people trying to block things/trap me in tables before 
@analog citrus OK video recorded, I'll have to do some editing, but will post it to beta vids when it's up
Also just did it one handed, and looked like similar instructions
one thing I'd like to know tho is did they mean to make this harder (chibi step)
or is it just a byproduct of some other change?
Cause Ive never heard of somebody aciidently chibi stepping
@analog citrus it's definitely harder to do one handed though (even with 2 hands in 1 handed mode)
Oh I believe the change is part of the hold to chirp changes
As previously you had to hold your feet to step, now you can step holding anywhere
I've had lots of long chirps cancelled through slight movement
I just worry, cause there had been nothing said, that they frown on it and are activly trying to prevent it
In which case... shhhhhh... I know nothing.... lol
Tbh this is a beta channel, and while we can't talk about hacks, we should talk about glitches
And I assume the reason nothing has been said is possibly as Ktjn has said previously, there is little time to writeup all changes in a beta build, and this is probably extremely minor
And everyone working from home, so you can't just have the overheard "oh yeah sorry I noticed that in another bug I was fixing"
What’s the current wing max in beta atm ??
that can vary wildly... did you get all the traveling spirits in orbit when they were available?
did you even have access to the previous seasonal ones?
Yes
I’m at 128 atm , I thought that was the max
But now I see another light available

Im pretty sure im at 129 but i wasnt even able to get the lighseekers and other gratituse ones in orbit when they were available
So it’s 129 ? Then that would be right
I’m pretty sure I already collected this light in prairie cave
maybe for you and me yes... But others can have more
Oh , never mind , I forgot we had the eden bug where we could purchase the travelers 😬 I think I just overlooked this star child. I had the same count as live in mind , guess in beta I have one more 😑
So we are getting more tunnels
underwater tunnels though, maybe, just maybe i'll let this slide
nah for real it's probably not what we think it is
if anything it could be an unused pathway
theres all kinda abandoned stuff like that in the "newish" forest area oob
yea like dark said, maybe it's been there all this time and we just never noticed 
max winged light in beta rn is 125. Add to that whatever seasonal spirits you ascended during the orbit glitch
The underwater tunnel is in live too, I just checked
also the translation glitch can come in handy sometimes 
where is the under water tunnel? 😮
prarie cave, it seems
I HAVE a question wasn’t there supposed to be a baby krill in the office at some point
At one point there was one in a pot next to one of the desks, it left with the update that brought the ark though
baby krill grew up to be the big boi at the ark
Okay I’m upset but also happy for krill bb
Huh?
me responding to a since deleted message
So, this tunnel everyone is talking about, isn't it just the passage to the pot room?
update!
so fast
Update 
wow its fast
what is new on the update
I’ve been exploring oob in the prairie caves for an hour now, there’s nothing new that I found?
i dont know now..
bug fix and improvements

@quick oriole same, it looks the way it's always looked
I kind of think the "tunnel" is just that passage
i just noticed there's background music in the wasteland temple. has that always been there?
ive noticed its always been silent, ill check it out the next time im running
you still there?
i'm not there anymore
@hollow compass it’s under water , you can’t reach the surface from there. I think it’s just some old discarded remnant
hm, I see
I think I need more precise instructions, as I was swimming around for quite a while without seeing anything
You have to fly in from the exit point to bell tower , follow the clouds next to the cavern and dive under the cavern. When you go up you will get caught In Water. This isn’t the same water as the square pools you see. When you’re caught in the water , swim to the part where you posted the pic.
I'll try that then. Thanks!
remnant, that is correct
There has been background music in wasteland temple for a while (thankfully it goes silent when sitting in one place for a bit)
How can I get beta access
!betafaq
To join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-announcements! Give yourself the beta role here by tapping the

Ok
if anyone with a table in beta happens to be around, could you hop on and help me test something?
whaddya need 
a player with a table
im here >:O
lilichi: zero fear. a madlass. 
Chia and wyiott to the rescue! I need me a table too tbh 
ktjn: 🚪🏃♂️
Any more help needed tho? I even got a campfire and swing :3
Mini, need halp still?
Ktjn?👀
Em came to the rescue, got the info i needed. thanks guys!

So the collisions change where your friend can walk through the table til they sit is intentional., but they only need to sit once. You can move your table and they will still have collision, meaning table stacking is still easily to complete. It's just that first placement where everyone needs to sit.
Yup! I sat once, and never again. We climbed tho 
is not being able to see the chat button above your head when you have a table at home plate intentional >:O
We didn’t test that. But i would assume if you enter a new instance you would have to sit again
I did test that.. it resets every instance, mildly annoying but .. it’s for the greater good.. no griefing..
But then again.. griefers could still grief if they trick you into sitting first
+1 chia, when we had them on home plate we didn't have chat bubbles above our heads. Is that supposed to do something and just isn't working properly or..?
Blocking someone should disable interaction with their table too imo
(Because it doesn’t far as I tested..)
but you can still chat using the menu toggle, the button just doesnt appear over your head

chia: 🏎️

If it's not there, it's a discord bug. Restarting Discord a few times may fix it
How can we have a piano in this game?
From a spirit in the valley constellation (if my memory serves me right)
Next time please ask such questions in questions-and-help
Hey @hazy bloom , press the 🕯️ in #rules to gain access to the rest of the server
#questions-and-help will be available then!
Ok thx
how to download beta sky? IOS
Hi cawa, you have to download beta from the test flight app. TestFlight is the official beta testing for iOS. You also have to be invited to beta to be able to download it
Welcome to the server and be sure to read #rules and click the 🕯 at the end to unlock the other chat channels!
but how to be invited?
TGC will post a link in beta channels when they need new testers. They’ll also ping the beta member role, which you have, so you’ll know immediately when they do
Thanks!
Hmmm so with the previous changes to the bonfire the #beta-announcements post said strangers had to light the bonfire owner for the flame to be activated for them. Has that been changed as well?
Heh, is it free? (Download beta)
Yes it is free to download when there is a chance
Not everyone in the server has the role, only those who tapped (reacted to) the
in #rules
Okay
Maybe there could be something in the friendship menu to unlock constant solid tables with friends
Hi! Did the fallen spirits in eden reset yet?
reset is in 1 hour 34 minutes
In Philippine time
!edenreset
The Eye of Eden resets once per week.
Next reset is on Sunday June 07 at 00:00 PDT (In 1 hour 32 minutes 56 seconds)
Ohhh
Luna, if you go to #rules and scroll to the bottom, there should be a candle icon that looks like 🕯️
if you click on that candle icon, you can access the whole server, instead of just the beta section.

@spark lance for future reference, reset is always 3 pm philippine time 🙂
@tidal wolf oh okie, thank you!
,
1hour left!
i'm confused, they just turned off table collision for non sitting players?
Can somebody explain table collision to me?
Is seasonal spirits still available to exchange after u collect orange light?
check #beta-announcements for an explanation on table collision changes @limber bone
I believe so, though In beta the season ended before the orange light quest became available
@spiral quartz
The seasonal spirits' trees should remain available until the season ends
Oh oki ty
I think when this goes live.. we’ll need a !tablechanges command
@spiral quartz the season has ended in beta, so you can’t get any of the spirits anymore.
@livid mauve, if you go to #rules and scroll to the bottom, there should be a candle icon that looks like 🕯️
If you click on that candle icon, you can access the whole server, instead of just the beta section.
Is there a candle icon there for you?
check #beta-announcements for an explanation on table collision changes @limber bone
@hidden quarry i did, thats why i said i don't get it

Then I think it's better to check how it works by yourself. I can help you now if you need someone with a table
Needing the 3 resizes from shop super much
Its not yet here

How much is the resize now?
10 ascended for 3 resizes
10 ascended candles for three
yes, it was changed
dunno, restock times may vary
maybe lazycool spirit's longlost twin will be in next season
ah, so the icon we have on the pre-order is an umbrella
It all makes sense now
season of lighthiders
:000
enlightment seekers
Enchantedseekers 
enseekment 👁️
though isn't lightseekers set in vault?
I thought it was forest. Y'know umbrella and all
they got a scholar and everything
even the promo art has them in vault, but that probably doesn't exactly mean what i think it does
Gratitude and Lightseekers weren’t really set in any of the kingdoms because the cutscenes always took place in home (´ー`)
Oh wait ur right
i go into #beta-screenshots-videos to see what it looks like and get greeted by skybruh telling mini to not spoil
yep
Mini was joking
skybruh is just trying its best
Waah I just remembered that grandma took over the lightseekers final cutscene once
What a legend
:0
You might find a video if you look hard enough 
i remember my friend and i trying to complete belonging, the entire time we freaked out not knowing grandma was the questgiver
gratitude didn't have lore, did it?
so we just sat there running around questioning who grandma was
since it was the first season, i don't expect it to
no explicit grat lore, as far as i know
Well technicallyyyyy

It wasn’t the first season lol

Too bad gratitude won’t get the same chance :v
onward and upward we go
More l o r e 
Wonder what a butterfly call would sound like
Silent
I imagine a flute
D:
No speak,,,
Well actually they make little sounds when they lift you up
butterflies make noises when you deep call around them
Little water noises
yeah what Rose said
you kidnap people nearby
:D
I knooow lemme joke smh 
no jokes allowed 🚫
go to clown jail
Not related but I really like how they added the potion shop, very unique
Much better than what I was thinking would happen (just a spirit in home that would sell you potions)
i'm very glad for it, the ark won't be ded
walmark
I wonder if they’ll do the same thing next season :0
:v
Omg joshur
Repurpose the new area(s?)
hmmmm
pet shop :omegalul
maybe we can restore the archives in vault, since it's all broken up and water's leaking everywhere
Did we ever learn what busted it up in the first place?
vault krill vault krill
game updates
If we fixed it though then we wouldn’t be able to explore very far... the only reason we can get in the giant cubes is because there’s holes everywhere
Tru
Perhaps it can become a door
vault whale ninjas...?
Season of whales
or probably just a large swarm of crabs, they're terrifying in large amounts
Even bigger manta
Well maybe, because of the pendant??
Spirit whales in vault when 
Wait what about the spirit whale on level 5....
There’s the flat whale thing near the top of vault
Is it called a whale?
That looks more like a bunch of mantas stuck together
i call them Ferris
Actually yeah has it been confirmed?
Most people refer to it as a spirit whale....
Probably not rose
Ah
Oh rly? I call it the manta bus
imagine having confirmatin for something
it's the spirit manta voltron, doesn't look like a whale
Jdjdjc
It’s a 2D whale
flat whale lol
It’s the one animal that doesn’t have a sticker here
||not counting the giant jelly fish in the ascent||
Don’t think you need to spoiler? Unless I’m mistaken
no need
I mean the cat literally says spoilers ahead
It’s nice if you do spoiler tho ^^ but yea not needed
oh right, we've never seen those king jellyfishes anywhere besides ascent 
They fling you high though
Spoilers for newer players are always needed, especially since a lot of new people here get mixed up on how to access the rest of the server
this one?
The spoilers ahead seems more like it's for beta specific spoilers, but most people here already know eden stuff anyways
beta chat generally doesn't need to have spoiler tags
it's not practical for us to discuss what we're testing if we have to have black strips everywhere
that's why there is a warning to other server members
We usually asked for spoiler tags after android waves, cause there would lots of new players around, but now it’s not really needed
I see
they all moved on to the live game 🗿
Is it possible to give the Child of Light role to people who end up here without it?
i think it must be, but that'd be tedious for mods
no, they have to actively choose it themselves
yes, too much admin for such a huge server
I don’t think mods can add roles but I might not be remembering correctly
but many people seem to be new to discord in general and don't always understand what reactions are for, so there is also that knowledge gap
Which makes it more of a hassle
Discord just messes up sometimes and people can't see the candle 
generally, an admin of a discord server can add roles manually if they have the right permissions, i think
but maybe there's added complexity with how the roles work here
yes, that's what I meant
Possible, yes, but very much not practical for the TGC admins. Language barrier, new to discord, discord bugs, there’s lots of reasons why some people are stuck without the role. The option of having only the beta role is intended, if people want to have access only to beta channels for any reason, but can be reviewed if it’s causing problems
perhaps it needs to be the other way around now that the server is so big?
Or move the role somewhere else? 
Can someone send a picture of the new spells' icons??
Perhaps 😄 I’ll pass the discussion on to the admin team and hopefully we can figure out a way to have less lost souls around here, even if it means they remain stuck in the welcome center 
Check #beta-screenshots-videos
There’s a bunch in #beta-screenshots-videos if you scroll
Kizuna is taking over sky
like two patches ago 
not a beta player but whats the current price of resize spell on spellshop? and will they possibly change it on live?
searching for keywords or pics in #beta-screenshots-videos is usually the best way to find the information you seek
things can change considerably during beta before they come to the live version, or not make it at all
ahh, aight. ty!

I am too lazy to buy my table on beta
Is the collision still active
For the owner
?
Yes
Or the owner needs to sit ?
I am too lazy to buy my table on beta
understandable
I'm poor and too lazy to go to eden just to ascend it tbh
i would focus on beta now that i'm taking a grind break from live, but 
If the shop currency is still ascended candles when it goes to live, then i am going to be visiting eden more often :))
Ahhh with my luck I'll get the size I want on the first resize and the other two will taunt me with their existence until I use them and I will never get the size I want again for the next 50-60 resizes
Hello
^^
If you can't see the 🕯️ restarting Discord a few times might fix it
What's collision?
Changes to chat tools are explained in #beta-announcements
I wanna know what do they mean by collision
"to enable collision" basically means that you can sit at it
Basically is the table an actual object or not
if collision is not enabled, you walk through it
if it is, you walk on it like an object
Chia explained it better lmao
What do I need to unlock the beta version store?
Nop
Like, in the game there's the store, where u can buy candles, pass etc
My store only shows the season pass and the starter pack
Oooooh that's cool
To encourage us to actually go through and grind for candles
Tks for the help ^-^
Any idea about next travelling spirit.
!tsbeta
Traveling spirits appear in the beta version at the same time as live, so we don’t know any details in advance
Check #news for announcements and save up your candles!
Ahh. Thank you
Hey i got a question if someone dosn't mind, do i need to be a beta tester to discuss beta stuff?
feel like this is a dumb question
No you don’t need to be in beta to discuss here
Just make sure to keep beta-only content/discussions out of the live channels
ok with that being said:
me and my friend tried glitching pass the barrier but we fell through the floor
Ahhh with my luck I'll get the size I want on the first resize and the other two will taunt me with their existence until I use them and I will never get the size I want again for the next 50-60 resizes
I can relate to this and i cant wait until ark shop becomes live so i can splurge on any resize potion i can get my hands on
I can relate to this and i cant wait until ark shop becomes live so i can splurge on any resize potion i can get my hands on
@fair relic wait what does live mean
I wish they will make the price of the resize back to hearts🙃
We don’t need tons of swing spells especially for the players who’ve already purchased real money for it
How do people end up being part of the beta, do they usually have an announcement that will say they’re looking for more beta testers?
If they need more testers,they’ll post in #beta-announcements I think
Oh sweet. I like the concept of them having a store after I accidentally used up all the resize potions 
Hope we’ll get either hearts priced resizes or invisible cape in live
Otherwise my hearts will become ornamental lol
stuff costing hearts also means more people pestering for trades 
but i do agree that theres no use for hearts otherwise if youve bought everything
resizes are coveted potions and i think people would want to buy a lot
:O
(They put the cool down tho
whoah, knite thats a good one
Agree with that
Hi guys! Already have any spoilers about the new season? 
no
oh
I still remember when this season was first pushed to beta lol

All the ppls waiting for that several guys to post their screenshots
We don’t know yet
Even the hacked content can be changed
So just wait till they bring it to beta
i can't wait so long. help
baseless rumors arent really reliable 
Same for us lol

yeah
Hi, and welcome @kindred ocean ! Read #rules and react to the 🕯️ to gain access to the rest of this server's channels! 
The next season is probably gonna be really good
Definitely gonna 100% it if it is based on light creature stuff
good as in...
You’re really focused on the next season aren’t ya?
There’s still one more light this season and plenty of time 
2 more weeks
It's because it's gonna be my 2nd season
I'm gonna be sad when enchantment end though
Yeah but this isn’t the first time you’ve talked about it, or the second, or the fifth
It’s like the fifteenth lol
if enchantment was the first season i experienced, I would be just as excited 
I’ve experienced every season since gratitude and after each one ends I’m twice as hyped for the next one
although I also sit there and stare into empty space because I get sad after all the seasonal spirits leave
I only start getting hyped for a new season when teasers are released cause then I know it’s just around the corner for live
I always get overly excited for stuff even if I shouldn't be
It’s okay 
well unless Ktjn's warning that beta is gonna change means we wont test the new season, Id think well be getting it pretty soon. We tested last season for a while before live started. And with only two weeks left in live, times running out
How can we get the beta game?

I wonder if the potion amounts/currencies change depending on the day
I haven't checked every day though
update
Update
Lol
150207
Should fix the wax not collected
bug
"The heat issue should now be resolved"
Idc if nothing is added, hopefully I can turn the graphics up from the lowest setting without my phone burning up now
The wasteland wind got fixed 
A few updates ago brought overheating issues to a lot of devices, mine was affected so I’ve been waiting for a fix
And now it’s here 
my ipad still pretty warm
but i havent crashed cause of it yet
so i guess thats progress
I wonder how Eden is doing cause I crashed there the last time I tried to go in beta
I went through eden yesterday without any problems
Hopefully with this new update it won't crash again for you
What are the spells you can buy from ascended candles?
check out #beta-screenshots-videos , tho an update just happened and idk if any of the spell currencies changed up. Sorry... currently I can’t check for you, phone’s outta juice 
anyone had the same bug before like the one i just reported?
I think the dates in the daily message are messed up, however purchasing the pass has intentionally been removed
stuck with the date january 26th and i cant buy the season pass because it says 0 minutes to go for preorder and i still have 21 season candles
it's been this way for a long time. there's no need to keep the date 'up-to-date', since it's only beta.
the season pass isn't meant to be purchasable in beta yet.
oh ok

where can i download beta?

T - T sad
!Have there been any changes in the items in your magic shop?
(´°̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥`)I can't find the swing. I want to buy two swings.
i believe the items available in the shop are on a schedule, so not everything will be available every day
According to the date?(๑⁼̴̀д⁼̴́๑)ッ‼
If the resize potion isn’t available on the first day

I don't know. I was at the magic shop just now and I found a lot of things missing.(´°̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥`)
Only some very common things left, swing, rainbow, bonfire, bigger and smaller magic disappeared.(´°̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥`)
Ok we’ll have to monitor what it looks like today compared to tomorrow
Hopefully it’s one day on, one day off type of biz
yeahhh, I hope so.(´°̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥`)
Dev said that items rotate depending on the day
!All right, thanks! ! !

from Ktjn a couple days ago:
This beta pass should have the rough live schedule enabled, spell/scroll/potion availability will vary from day to day

Does anyone know when exactly the new season will begin? I can’t wait 🥺
no
cant get mote than 4 season roles
discord being discord
i get a msg from bot saying 4 is max for that category
but i guess it doesn’t really matter that much
Hello?
hello 
Can u help me open two player door in Vault
i'm not able to right now. you can ask for help with that in #beta-looking-for-group
Already asked
wait
i'm not able to right now. you can ask for help with that in #beta-looking-for-group
@worn field its ok
then there's no need to ask here as well
@proper helm the qr isnt working for some reason i click the link and it takes me into the app but it doesnt open
I'm on beta
I know but when i open the link in the game my character just sits down and the friend prompt doesnt open
screenshot the qr and click import

Thankyou @kindred fossil that worked
Or try to open in safari and then click the arrow
LOL WHY IS THE CHIBI POTION CALLED A BABY POTION NOW
its cute 
besides we have another kind of "shrink" spell now, maybe they did it to avoid confusion
i was thinking like "we can get smaller than chibi??"
also uhh when do the seasonal candles transfer to regular candles in beta.. or is my game bugged
beta is wack. in the past the seasonal candles haven't always converted to regular candles in beta, but it's not a prioritised bug because it works fine in the live game
beta is fun but god its buggy LOL
the bugged adventure pass tho
pre order for a boomerrang looking season thing but it gives seasonal candles for the past season
that's the nature of beta 
ah nod call and lazycool are still there i see
yisss
Thanks for the names I think I'll call it lazycool now too ❤️
They should add candle and eden candle packs and heart packs in beta.. so that we can test the cosmetics for bugs..

The new update is an improvement for heating issue tho..
On energy saving mode
If candle packs were added no one would play the game
i'm sure tgc has considered it. there's the problem that if we buy candles we might not go and test the levels and quests tho 
The iOS and Android betas are full at the moment, @ebon tulip. To join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-announcements! Give yourself the beta role here by tapping the
in #rules to be notified of important updates.
But candles would be usable on new quests only when they are unlocked.. so I don't see any problem
If we are able to buy candles for free in home, how will we find bugs out in the realms when we don't need to candle farm?
i'm thinking of daily quests, Geralt. if we had candle packs, we might not test the daily quests, y'know
Hmmm
Most things that cost regular currency are already in live anyways
What is the friend meter in beta?
are you here to test or to get everything for free
Maybe we will get a heart when it fills up

what we don't know is how it's filled up
it's a ranking system that doesn't offer rewards
frens uwu jk noone knows
👻
keyword "mysterious", no one knows, literally
Seasonal candles don't become regular candles in beta?
sometimes they do, if they feel like it 
They just haven't converted yet. Who knows if they ever will lol

they do when you get the end of season text
I think it will be along with live season end
Besides if they do some of us are getting thousands of regular candles if those aren't taken away 
the season is already over in beta tho
sounds like a fun hobby 
Free passes to everyone
your battery might drain before you get to 10k 
Energy saving mode
New update is good in battery
And heating
Haven't tasted on 30FPS extensively tho
Tho.. in 30FPS, it did heat up faster
they do when you get the end of season text
@empty river Did u get it in beta?
Yeah candles converted but we were able to pre-order over and over again after
We gotta report.. ofcourse after we gather some seasonal candles
it's been fixed
that's because your version of beta was downloaded through an APK
if anyone has translations of the ark subtitle text for languages other than english, my small uncultured brain would appreciate it 

Basically the japanese text says "The boat is sailing again, with the magic as a tailwind"
Wrong ping?
I've never been a fan of spanish sky tbh
it hits different
I hoped that the crops field would become green too
it was! sorry someone starts with J!!
@dry pivot wow that’s very different
that really makes it sound like the ark is flying away, Mochi 
mochi that sounds so cool :0
That boat is very clearly not sailing smh 
yeah
that ship has sailed
There are no languages that I understand that Sky is localized for
metaphorically
Joshur I hate you
Did the play dead spirit in Wasteland die tho?
Yes
Well it's a spirit soooo

Yeah all the spirits died. That one specifically died on camera
im sure they just sneeping 
Elders are alive I guess
Level 2 and 4 have zzzz so I'm going with sneep thanks
they'll wake up soon
Just powerless
Elders not alive
Until we give them our light
Head to #lore-discussion-spoilers 
Elders are more powerful than spirits and are able to interact with us as we pass near the border to the spirit realm in meditation and ||orbit||
unless you were asking about the play-dead spirit bc of something in beta, Geralt?
Nah
ah i see
maybe the ark is meant to fly away someday in the future
When I saw and reported the Japanese subtitle, I didn't know that skykids could craft magic spells themselves
ooo never realized that the "thanks for your purchase!" illustration was never updated in beta
at least for the preorders
oops
nope
not yet but soon
ooo whatever happened to the counter in live tho
Yeah, Spanish Sky is terrible.
I wouldnt say teeerrible
just weird, very weird
That definitely feels Machine translated. Very literal
Yeah, sounds artificial to me.
daylight prairie's translation its very awkward at least 
also there's some mistakes with the spells, will report those later uwu
daylight prairie's translation its very awkward at least
and in case you were curious, it literally translates to: "Plain of the light of day" or "plain of daylight"
Oh god, In the singular? Rather than the collective “Plains”
1 (one) plain
hmm wonder if that's what breaks the text from the spells
It breaks my heart too.
The market is meh..
if it gave you free spells, would you reconsider?
Enchantment never happened then? 
they added 3 new spells too
And people have been asking for a spell shop since forever
They should also add a portal to market in GW Social space
#beta-feedback would like to hear that
Sent now
if they have an emote from an upcoming season, they're almost certainly a hacker (unless they got it via some strange new bug)
i recommend reporting them in-game, so that tgc can check to see if they're a hacker and deal with them if they are
They told its bug
I also got it but I could not get emote
It was like fist bump
Yes I reported
Hellu, what's the cost for those resize potions in ark?
Check #beta-screenshots-videos
and keep in mind the prices in beta are subject to change 
I see
Thank you!
Last time i saw it was 10 hearts, luckily it changed to ascended candles
Wait, are those ascended candles?
Yes
is there a way to enter the beta campaign on android ?
You've got the Beta Member role already, so you will be notified if slots open up again
thank you, I wanted to be sure
when does the next season enter beta testing?
We don't know. Whenever TGC decides to start it
okayy ty 
You can earn 15.75 ascended candles in beta per week, just like live
Gaahh
beta is live but buggier and empty
99 AC just to unlock capeless
and 999 hearts too lol
999❤️ lol

good luck champ
Ded
it’s basically an easter egg, but the easter rabbit loaded it into a rocket and shot it into the moon
I'm happy with my dear pink cape (that I'm working towards still
)
I wonder how did people gather 999 hearts
I'm happy with my dear pink cape (that I'm working towards still
)
@crisp plinth I need 22 more hearts
999❤️ lol
@kindred fossil seriously 999 hearts tho?
yeah bruv
Lmao I need 34 more. I'll just collect fragments of light to get it honestly, I don't have the energy to candle run in beta
before android went global, there were way more players there. I can imagine some very passionate players deciding to pool resources.
Aww dark tysm
Lmao I need 34 more. I'll just collect fragments of light to get it honestly, I don't have the energy to candle run in beta
@crisp plinth oh I was talking about live lol
Does beta only get active when something new happens then everyone just leaves
I wish beta and live had some link so that players could exchange candles and hearts from beta to live and vice versa
mostly, yes
The capeless cosmetic isn't meant to be something every player gets. You've got to be pretty dedicated to beta to get it. Not a lot of people are now that Android is out on live.
pretty much, I mean as ktjn’s said:
Keep in mind beta access can be removed and all progress can be wiped at any time to serve testing needs. Play the live version.
Ktjn#8721
you tested enchantment, right donut? you've seen what its like
Waiting for manta
nah more alive
I thought ark would be more alive when it came to live
I still haven't got the spirit in the 8 player door in beta
But I barely see anyone there
servers work differently at the ark
lmao me neither geralt. beta is so empty I don’t bother to try for 8 door or even 2 doors
live is way more fun anyway
i got it by chance, logged on one day and a friend was organizing at home
otherwise i wouldn't bother
Maybe we should organize one day
I got in there once when we organized on discord. That was like six months ago, at least
And there is also less chance of poofing
I got in there once when we organized on discord. That was like six months ago, at least
@crisp plinth couldn't we rocket into there?
the candles to activate the spirit wouldn't be there
I wish beta and live had some link so that players could exchange candles and hearts from beta to live and vice versa
@proper helm
That would be so OP, since iap in beta is free and you could just buy the Founder’s cape to be able to send yourself hearts in Live.
Well I never go to Eden so I never need stars. And without all those people we can't get Oreo either
@proper helm
That would be so OP, since iap in beta is free and you could just buy the Founder’s cape to be able to send yourself hearts in Live.
@hollow compass oh.. forgot that![]()
Beta and live aren't linked up and never will be
It’s for the better.
am i the only person that keeps the channel on #beta-announcements when going to another discord to see that channel when going on this discord while waiting for the next beta wave
Huh?
We have no idea when the next beta wave will be
you shouldn't, the beta member role will be pinged once there's an opening
Please don't stress yourself out about missing it 
my ping broke in that channel which is why i keep it on that channel
I was lucky enough to get in during the march android beta wave. it was open for roughly... over a day I think?
the last ios wave was open for less than 2 hours, iirc
How to get the beta role in this server tho?
Give yourself the beta role here by tapping the
in #rules to be notified of important updates.
You're in beta but never got the beta role?
How do you even see these channels?
Kept searching in roles rather than rules
the channels can be accessed without the beta role
I thought they weren’t visible.
They are
So that people could avoid spoilers.
it's been this way for a long time, iirc
Muting and hiding these channels works to avoid them ig
It’s funny it’s the other way around then.
I mean that unless you click the 🕯 you can’t see the rest of the server.
It’s the same way you have to click
to see strangers in-game 
Hey guys do we know which travelling spirit will come on live?
Nope. Beta knows which spirit will come when live gets to know ^^
Woah really?Dang
!tsbeta
Traveling spirits appear in the beta version at the same time as live, so we don’t know any details in advance
Check #news for announcements and save up your candles!
in Setting, Sounds & Haptics, System Haptics at the bottom, turn it off
be aware this is a system wide setting and it will also disable Haptics when you change other system settings, charging etc etc
and of course, it will affect other apps as well
Thanks
Oh my game doesn't vibrate when I put my phone on low economy mode
Did people got banned? Cuz I saw like 5 new players yesterday
It’s possible, though new players could’ve come in by slots left from people who might’ve quit too
Or the some just hadn’t updated in a long enough time and got pushed out of the beta program
One question, what can make people get banned from beta?
I would assume the same as in Live.
Yeah
Oh
Although, I’m unsure if anyone has ever been banned.
I think its harder to find people that are breaking the "rules" on beta
It relies on TGC being able to pinpoint certain unwanted behaviour to someone’s account.
