the classic bug fixes and improvements

[charred eagle]

I-

[chilly wigeon]

In a few months they said@charred eagle

[vagrant heart]

#beta-faq !

[charred eagle]

Whew Chile

Ok

[alpine field]

Ok so I started downloading at 11:55, see how long it takes

[chilly wigeon]

My downloads never take long

[kindred bluff]

i dont have a lot of storage thats why

[primal pagoda]

I was about to report a bug in previous build but they have another update already 😳

[woeful lodge]

this is normal for beta guys 😅 we get bugfix updates quite frequently, specially during season testing
@empty river oh I know. Usually I dodged it in the past by getting more than one update between play sessions so I didn’t have to download both. This time I had just finished the download so I’m whining. (But only sarcastically.)

[kindred lion]

its been 62827 days, the update still haven’t finished, who knows how long it will take

[spark lance]

One winged light is floating again

[empty river]

ahh i was directing myself more to all our new beta friends Loony

[alpine field]

Still floating after this update huh?

[chilly wigeon]

So fixing bugs just brings more bugs

[olive tide]

Is anyone else having the issue where their skykid has the eden effect (hunched over/blowing in the wind) except everywhere and all the time?

It’s been here for three updates for me now

[alpine field]

I see many others elsewhere with the issue but not for mine

[marble delta]

@olive tide you can fix that by selecting a stance.

[kindred bluff]

my beta just got 99% done with downloading but then i got the your storage is running low

[gloomy agate]

um my sky app has been deleted from test flight and i can’t update 🗿

[olive tide]

@marble delta I’ll try that, thanks my dude

@gloomy agate Do you see your Apple ID in TestFilght

[gloomy agate]

OH

[kindred lion]

Mine always updates less then 2 minutes
@obsidian jacinth mines be taking years lowkey smh

[stoic ocean]

Anyone know where the seasonal candles are? I got 2 from the landing map

[gloomy agate]

i logged out recently 🗿 THANKS SO MUCH @dry pivot

[hidden quarry]

ah...

[kindred bluff]

someone pointed out that the shop could be a new place for traveler spirits and oh my god thats genius

[hidden quarry]

bug fixes and improvements sjkdfkjs

[bright portal]

slightly out of topic, saw you guys saying there's an update so i went to check my playstore, clicked on my apps&games and turns out i have 57 apps not updated

[chilly wigeon]

It would be cool if the ts appeared by that shop

I was also thinking it could be a place to buy adventure passes

[dry pivot]

@stoic ocean all 4 are in the same map https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/618891214527266846/727850925078741154

[visual vigil]

I just want previous ultimate rewards

[kindred bluff]

it would make sense and the pendant hanging would change by the Tspirit's season!

[bright portal]

I think that shop would a good place to promote event IAP bundles (like the previous earth day cape and healing pack)

[chilly wigeon]

IAP bundles and adventure passes

[kindred bluff]

oo yes!

[alpine field]

Like a red dot on the shop saying cmon here we got something new and charitable stuff

[kindred bluff]

that would be wonderful actually

[spark lance]

I was gonna report the missing 3 seasonal hearts that I wasted on the first node as a bug until I read #beta-known-issues

[kindred bluff]

we need an npc there that has dialogue when something is new

[bright portal]

an npc shopkeeper

[exotic gorge]

If they bring back ultimate rewards you should have to pay for them like original seasonal not hearts or candles

[lusty light]

They already said it’s not going to be available for in game currencies

[exotic gorge]

Awesome 😊 because I want everyone to support game

[solid dune]

me: upadting beta while doing a live CR
my phone: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[spark lance]

This is suggestive, but I was thinking just refund the number of seasonal candles by how many seasonal hearts you got so you can acquire it again (e.g. 3 hearts = 9 seasonal candles).

[lusty light]

They’re not compensating anyone because it’s beta and it doesn’t matter

That’s extra work for the developers

[spark lance]

Lmao just saying

But ty

You got a point there, have a nice day

[normal monolith]

i feel like the shop/tent at home has to do something with the season of rhythm because the star like logo is like the rhythm logo

[bright portal]

that could be just a placeholder but we don't know yet

[spark lance]

Either that or just cut the trip to buy spells from the Ark

[solid dune]

omg fr please let us skip ark cutscenes

[primal pagoda]

As if we buy spells everyday lol

[solid dune]

no but i go to ark for CRs

[spark lance]

I mean the only time we can travel to the ark is for daily quests

[primal pagoda]

Ah, was replying to xero

[spark lance]

As if we buy spells everyday lol
Haha

[bright portal]

i think i read somewhere they might make a shortcut way to ark in the future

[solid dune]

[spark lance]

Wat

[solid dune]

i am LOOKING

[spark lance]

This is interesting information that we are witnessing

[potent pumice]

Hopefully so! I love the boat scene but I am very much tired of seeing it 😭

[primal pagoda]

Did you read the staff said that? If not you’re just giving us hope

[kindred bluff]

tbh, i hope they dont sell pendants in any form
pendants have slight value if noticed but are insignificant enough not to be bought. if they were in stores for real money with nothing else it wouldnt make sense, and if they were sold for regular in game currency there would be a protest from players who have been playing at least one season

[bright portal]

https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/583370574449999880/719780443871903760 source for the ark shortcut

[spark lance]

Imagine wearing the specific pendants cuts the number of candles from that certain seasonal traveling spirit by 30%

[kindred bluff]

too OP

[calm root]

Is anyone having issues teleporting to other players after the update?

[spark lance]

Yea true

[solid dune]

im not even halfway through the update lol

[calm root]

Even after reconnecting and closing the game down?

[dry pivot]

maybe you friend haven't updated the game yet

[spark lance]

I second this

[calm root]

Possibly

[dry pivot]

sometimes you need to be on the same build to teleport to each other, sometimes not

[spark lance]

Usually the message says “Your friend is either using the old update or newer build” or something similar like that

[quaint onyx]

It should say that when trying to teleport to them, tho

☝ that

[calm root]

It’s saying that they’re in a place I can’t go to

[sonic talon]

UpdaTe

UpdAteEE

[thick lion]

Yes please let us skip the slowboat ride to ark. Like once it takes off, let us skip it

[spark lance]

(flashbacks to that one glitch where the boat fell out the map once and went back to normal when the cutscene returns)

I didn’t see that glitch again afterwards

[thick lion]

Like how many of us take off once the game allows and just speed flies to the ark xD

[bright portal]

I can;t wait for a shortcut implementation to ark instead

[sonic comet]

sanctuary islands need a shortcut as well not gonna lie. It’s a long ride back for candleruns

[kindred bluff]

i dont like having to go through 4 cutscenes to get to ark tbh, some people like the slow ride but it would be nice to have another option for speedy boys

[solid dune]

i have a need for speed

[bright portal]

i still havent mapped out a way to integrate sanctuary into my cr yet , it's too big

[kindred bluff]

well, for now it modivates me to actually candle run prairie but getting back out of sanctuary hurts my bones usually i just go back home

[thick lion]

I don't think one person uses the social candle in the boat either... J's

[sonic comet]

ahah I have actually@thick lion

[bright portal]

i used it once when ark was first added and never again

[spark lance]

Me: (goes to the sanctuary islands)
Phone: (starts to get hot)

[bright portal]

Phone : haha i'm a microwave

[kindred bluff]

i never used it before i got noboddy

[thick lion]

I usually save prarie candle run for last now because of how much of a pain it is getting out of there

[kindred bluff]

MMMMMMMMM BEEP BEEEEP BEEEP BEEP

[spark lance]

When hot, throw the phone to the freezer

[hidden quarry]

honestly i might consider starting prarie runs backwards at this point leave sanctuary islands for last

[bright portal]

When hot, throw the phone to the freezer
disclaimer : don't

[thick lion]

I go in prarie butterfly, cave, bells, Birdnest then sanctuary

[spark lance]

Disclaimer: Seriously, don’t.

[thick lion]

Disclaimer: definitely don't. Just turn your phone off and unplug it. You will destroy your battery doing that, and fry the motherboard because moisture.

[bright portal]

has anyone even figure out an optimal route for sanctuary candle run?

[kindred bluff]

oh shoot

(disclaimer: i have not done this before but i got close to)

i used an ice pack instead

[thick lion]

Not the best idea, but also not as bad as just deep freezing your phone. It can stikl damage the battery/chip.

@spark lance they improved the design

[bright portal]

don;t sudden temperature changes will cause condensation in your phone, and water traps inside

[kindred bluff]

they did?! i was almost done with my concept sheet!

[thick lion]

It has more detail

[solid dune]

it got bluer too..

last i checked at least

[thick lion]

That was a visual glitch, it's back to it's pretty deep redorange

[solid dune]

oh good, i was not a fan of the blue imo

[spark lance]

Ok imma head to sleep, nice talking with you guys

[bright portal]

goodnight Xero

the hawaiian flower cape looks more orange-redy ? is there anything else that changed?

[solid dune]

jellyfish dude got a turtle neck t-shirt

[thick lion]

But back to the phone: if your phone gets hot, close all apps, unplug your phone and turn it off. Leave it be. It will save your phone doing that. Heat makes the battery swell (I lost a tablet that way when I was a cab driver and forgot to put a towel over my tablet) and the moisture inside will cause a fried board. It's like how after cooking dinner you have to let the leftovers return to room temperature before storing it in the fridge. Condensation is bad, and that moisture will void your warranty because even if your phone is waterproof, that won't stop internal water from building. Internal humidity is bad :(
Andphones are expensive

[royal elm]

My phone doesn't really get incredibly hot but it does warm up a bit

[solid dune]

this is why im waiting for console sky

[bright portal]

i need that pc sky

[thick lion]

My phone only gets hot if I'm playing a full candle run while plugged in.

[bright portal]

bowtie still isn't back huhu

[vague zephyr]

It is normal for the mobile phone to be hot.

[thick lion]

There's hot and then there's hot potato. Sky can make your phone hot potato

[solid dune]

tho i hope console gets controller sensitivity options because when i connected a bluetooth controller the turning speed was soooo slow

[vague zephyr]

approve

I'm going back to the country to play.

[thick lion]

First time I ayed sky I got all the way thru valley and then my phone got so hot it stopped charging.

[royal elm]

Woah, I haven't had any problems like that

[kindred bluff]

the cape doesnt look like it has more detail but the cape definitely a little bit longer

at least the tail is!

[solid dune]

my phone has never gotten as hot as it has as when i play sky

and i have a newer phone model

[thick lion]

I tend to get hyper focused and don't pay attention till it's too late

[flint wigeon]

Still no ultimate gift

[hidden quarry]

[sturdy temple]

beta keeps asking me to update the app but its already updated

[flint wigeon]

[broken fractal]

Did the beta app updating again, or is it just me?

[flint wigeon]

Yes again just after several hours

[worn field]

there was another beta update in the past hour or so. build 151373

[scenic verge]

Does anyone know what the new update is for exactly? 😊

Ooh, alrighty

[vast walrus]

What changed after the patch? ( ᐛ 👐)

[rustic imp]

Skybot is very accurate

[lavish zinc]

if seasonal hearts haven’t returned to me, is it worth writing about this in errors or an update with a return has not yet been issued?

[empty river]

i got overheating and lag on the lowest graphics setting after the update already reported it in game

[alpine venture]

sky beta is telling me there's a new update but it doesn't have on the play store

[empty river]

they're aware of the issue Pypochek, we dont need to report it anymore #beta-known-issues

[sturdy temple]

@alpine venture same here

[lavish zinc]

@empty river thank you 🤗

[alpine venture]

yeah it worked reinstall the game hunny @sturdy temple

[fresh quiver]

If the update doesn't show up in the play store, just click back and then click the app again

[patent oar]

It's just me or another Android players cant update the game? I had spent all night to download it but it was stuck at 100%

[thick lion]

One of the things they patched was the locationa of winglights in Birdnest. In previous update they accidentally burried one winglight I side an island and left another inaccessible floating in the abyss

[meager merlin]

So, do android players need to uninstall and reinstall again? Is the update working this time?

[spark lance]

i had to uninstall and reinstall because the update still wouldnt do anything past the 100% mark

[meager merlin]

Aaah, got it. Thank you friend

[open spindle]

Mine went past the 100 mark and kept on installing things.. i was confused but it eventually finished

[formal pewter]

Oh hi Vel

[meager merlin]

Yes, I heard it worked for few people that way.

Hola, Shio

[formal pewter]

Coincidence to see you in beta channel

[meager merlin]

Lol, beta member as well

[patent oar]

Just uninstall and reinstall again, the update is worked for me now

[dawn grotto]

How many wings are there supposed to be in sanctuary??

[meager merlin]

Around 8 wings

[dawn grotto]

👌🏻 thanks. I didn’t find any of them in weird places so I’m guessing it has to do with the os

[idle current]

That issue missing seasonal ❤️ still hasn’t fixed I guess?

[worn field]

it might never be. it'll only be fixed if it's needed for TGC to test something

[quaint onyx]

Install from store worked, now just can't download the levels

Always failing at about the same spot, then the game tries the download again

[quick thicket]

Where do I get the hat :((

[earnest marsh]

The office

[quick thicket]

Where in the office

[earnest marsh]

For 3 hearts

Where you get the blue cape

[quick thicket]

Ah tysm

[earnest marsh]

No problem

[cunning olive]

Uh, why did my bow disappear

Bow decoration in the new season

[empty inlet]

bow?

[formal pewter]

Ah a bow tie?

[cunning olive]

Yes

[thick lion]

Now I've got the 100% download error but I don't want to uninstall the game cuz I didn't create a backup

[worn field]

Enderpuppet, it seems to be a bug. those happen a lot in beta.
if you have a little time, it would be really helpful to report the bug to TGC by following the instructions in #beta-bugs-ios

[quaint onyx]

Does code: -100 event: enter_state_failed mean anything to anyone?

[slim kayak]

Another update? Already?

[empty inlet]

surprise

[slim kayak]

Aw its 10:30 pm... too tired for testing

[thick lion]

NVM app downloaded, and it's linked. I didn't think I did that but yay

[lilac grove]

Is there any hope to return the 3 Seasonal hearts？

[empty inlet]

i'd suggest save that hope for something else

[spark lance]

Is there hope i can complete the ! quests? i still find it confusing to complete

I just updated and there's another update :3

[vapid drum]

Still nothing in the pop up shop

[whole helm]

3 updates in 3 days

[spark lance]

I think the shop in home is just the IAP because when i reinstall my progress is wiped til i connect my google acc. When i tap on the shop it let me buy Adv pass and starter's pack. So i guess it's just the shop.

[slim kayak]

Ooo I see the overheating problem now. Just got to the island after 5 min and my phone is a bit toasty already

[lofty shadow]

So... What did the update change?

[old osprey]

What is ODR Support?

[worn field]

On Demand Resources

[old osprey]

Which means?

[worn field]

it's what allows you to only download levels when you need them, to save storage space on your device

[jovial lantern]

it says there's an update but i don't have one to download ._.

[old osprey]

Okay, thanks @worn field

[worn field]

happy to help!

[jovial lantern]

like the app says there's an update but google play says there isnt

[worn field]

i suppose it's possible the update hasn't rolled out to all regions yet. sometimes it takes a while

[stark spoke]

Google is slow

[jovial lantern]

nvm I was on the wrong account haha

kinda weird it doesn't show updates then tho

[stark spoke]

I hope I get mi handpan . @jovial lantern

[jovial lantern]

for some reason it's redownloading all the areas lol

[round sparrow]

There was another new update?

[jovial lantern]

and I lost my 3 seasonal hearts ok

[spark lance]

Same

[round sparrow]

I lost my three seasonal hearts too

[stark spoke]

Same

[final vapor]

Things will be smooth in live so no worries

[spark lance]

I didn't rush to getting seasonal hearts on previous build, didn't expect it to happen on the latest builds now. So don't know what happened to the others

[autumn geode]

new wave of patch

bigger than the last one

[weary imp]

oop- bowtie has disappeared

rest in peace bowtie.

[umbral rampart]

Update is not completed. I haven't collected all the candles for today... 🥺

[spark lance]

the bowtie was kinda cute tho-
what's there for the old man now?

[small pebble]

Did the bowtie just get removed from the constellation of that spirit?

[torn rampart]

[karmic fox]

Ahhh...bowtie...

[mild scaffold]

Is the Season of sanctuary Adventure pass Screen is new....Or I'm just seeing that now

[reef vault]

Its new

[prime surge]

WHAT NO BOWTIE !!!

[lean plover]

Hmm

[reef vault]

Oh no the bowtie is there any new features there?

[wanton canopy]

Bruh why no bowtie

[reef vault]

I thought the new update is the seasonal hearys fixed

[wary magnet]

My update is stuck on 100% 😔

[reef vault]

Dont worry its running still and its not 100 percent yet

[karmic fox]

Oof, I updated this morning and finally can open it
I try to open again just now , and they ask me to update again

[elder musk]

3x 1GB updates.... So long data allowance 😂

[manic dagger]

I just played beta last night and this morning and now it needs an update again even if i alreDy updated it

And no new updates. Just the same as yesterday

[outer mica]

I have a question and I have a screenshot to go with it. Do I put it here or in the screenshot chat?

[honest moon]

@outer mica #beta-screenshots-videos

[outer mica]

Sickk

[solid dune]

oooh they increased the amount of QR invites you can have

[dense verge]

maybe they’re modifying the bow tie to make it better

[last echo]

can we buy handpan now? I mean, it'll appear right? I haven't buy it before update

[worn field]

i believe some testers have already unlocked it

[honest moon]

Ummmm what was the smol update for? nothing in da patch notes...

[last echo]

okie thanks joshur

[rigid stream]

Do you guys got the notice to updates your beta but you already update and they take you to the original link for new tester

Cause mine does and I dont know what to do

[nocturne dew]

@last echo can confirm, you can get the hand pan now

[honest moon]

@rigid stream i updated mine in da app store

[rigid stream]

Same here

[last echo]

yosh! handpan here I come

me too nesss, I updated when it came but a few hours ago it said I haven't update. so yeah, I just download it again

[sick void]

Sorry, but the soundtrack in the new area is just so nice it's so soothing and calm, I want to listen to it for hours on a loop.

Sorry if I interrupted a convo I just had to say it somewhere

[hollow compass]

It's a great idea to check Testflight/Google Play every day for updates, especially during a busy period of testing for a new season. The app should force you to update, but it seems to be a bit inconsistent (maybe depending on device?). There will not always be patch notes for smaller changes, but if you reported a bug earlier it is always worth checking if it has been fixed even if it doesn't specifically say so.

Sometimes it's really just minor landscape changes or colour/texture corrections.

[tough pebble]

Do y'all think the new pants is kinda bland and plain?

Manta suit is 👌 but the other one is just the normal clothes plus black pants

[spark lance]

I feel on the pants. There are pockets on them, but you can barely make them out. I wish they’d add some small detail, like an outline on the pockets or where the shoes begin or something

[ornate urchin]

i cant get into my beta app? (im on ios) when i go into testflight, it tells me i have no apps available to test, and if i try to enter the beta app the yellow "tap to update" shows up and sends me to testflight.. which tells me the requested app is not available or doesn't exist. i joined during the recent waves a few weeks ago, and it was working fine until now,, anyone know what's wrong?

[gilded parrot]

@ornate urchin, to join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-signup-info! You can learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.

[hollow compass]

Is the game missing when you open Testflight?

[ornate urchin]

yep

[hollow compass]

Did you accidentally press "stop testing" at some point maybe?

[ornate urchin]

hmm i dont think so.. i only ever opened testflight to update and never really messed with anything else

[dry pivot]

Do you see your Apple ID on TestFlight screen?

[ornate urchin]

oh! i logged out of my usual apple id to download a game from a different country's app store today 👉👈 that must be why, let me change back

[hollow compass]

oops

[ornate urchin]

it works now, thank you 😭 didnt think of that hahah

[dense verge]

where do the candle bunches be

[hollow compass]

btw, I think today's patch fixed the texture issues with the pink bells etc.

seasonal candles are in Vault today

[royal elm]

oh boy, bowtie machine broke

[pseudo bane]

@spark lance @tough pebble yeah, I submitted a feedback on the pants being too plain. Let's submit as much feedback as we can, hopefully the developers hear us and make changes, like they've always done.

[tough pebble]

I already sent mine

Twice lmao I really want a new design for the pants

[visual vigil]

I like the black pants but I think it's too simple there's no details like the rythm's pants or the manta pant

[pseudo bane]

Yay
I'm tempted to send a second time, honestly 🤣

[tough pebble]

I like the black pants but I think it's too simple there's no details like the rythm's pants or the manta pant
@visual vigil exactly it's too plain, it's more of an upgraded version of regular pants

[pseudo bane]

It looks like faded cargo pants 👀

[spark lance]

@pseudo bane oh bless

[visual vigil]

And it's hard to accept pants so simples once we got the Rythm pants

[pseudo bane]

They did too good a job with the Rhythm pants 😂

[spark lance]

I think the issue for me is that there are details, but because it’s all one colour, you can barely make it out what’s on there :(

[mighty estuary]

Do we have to download all resource again after this update?

[pseudo bane]

I like your idea with the pocket outlines @spark lance

[sudden flower]

Did the change the butterfly cape slightly? I cant tell if its just my eyes

[visual vigil]

Also I'll give a feedback about f2p players don't getting a single pant, people want pants so bad it would be nice to everyone getting a chance to have at least one

I'll suggest they can put at least one of those 2 for free or somehow create a new pant to put for free

[spark lance]

They might do so for next season! From the way I see it, I think the spirit tree maps are all planned out for this season at the moment.

@sudden flower my friend told me they thought the same as well

[sudden flower]

hmmmmmmmm

[visual vigil]

Things can always change before it gets into live version

And they changed butterfly cape

[untold musk]

im trying to update beta but it keeps getting stuck at 96%

[sudden flower]

mine was stuck at 100% for a bit haha, eventually it got past it though

[untold musk]

and now its stuck at 100% too

[mighty estuary]

Me too its still downloading

[lofty shadow]

Y'll know that the 202mb was a lie

[mighty estuary]

[worn field]

for some people, it seems to actually need something like 800mb, from what ive heard. so the app gets confused and thinks you're at 100% when you're at 202mb even though there's still a bunch of downloading to do

[open spindle]

yes that happened to me

but it downloaded and runs perfectly

[shadow pagoda]

Can someone explain to me what was the purpose of this current update??

[sharp temple]

Bugs and graphics fixes 👁👄👁

[shadow pagoda]

😖 also really hoping they fix the issue of the missing seasonal hearts of people who purchased the instrument ultimate gift before the update?

@reef vault same here.... I guess not 😭

[hardy pebble]

does anyone know when the season will actually start in live? i lost track of how much time has passed

[limber bone]

Can someone explain to me what was the purpose of this current update??
@shadow pagoda bug fixes and improvements

[warm pewter]

Live season start hasn't been announced yet

[prisma remnant]

The new map/ season is still not stabile enough on android, so it can't go live until those issues are fixed

[warm pewter]

What Android device are you on, if you don't mind sharing?

[spice mason]

The new map isn't particularly stable on my android device, either.

[prisma remnant]

Huawei P20 Pro clt l29

[spice mason]

Mine is a Samsung Galaxy A40.

/

[pseudo bane]

Redmi Note 5 Pro

[spice mason]

Pristine, does screenshotting in the sanctuary crash your game, too?

[prisma remnant]

Yeah, It's not like either of these are weak 5 yr old lite versions, my phone should absolutely run a game like this without problem. And it does, bc all other maps are fine, it's really just new prairie area

[wise cliff]

Hello Beta players! 2nd consecutive update. I wonder what did they fix this time.

[prisma remnant]

Yes, and parts of the map and my character disappears from the screen, or start flashing

I hope they fixed this, I'm just downloading the update

[spice mason]

I'll go to the sanctuary and see.

Yeah. Screenshotting still crashes me. It'll be fixed at some point. Probably.

I've submitted a bug report about it, anyway.

[flat willow]

I wonder if this other update will download properly or ill have to reinstall the app again...

[untold musk]

its still stuck at 100%

its been over half an hour

[flat willow]

Yeah it got to 100 a minute ago

Welp, reinstalling it is then

Yep, reinstalling was the way to go again

It would be really interesting to learn why some people have to reinstall the game for the update to work properly.

Could it be device specific for Android? Or do iOS users have this issue too? It's literally never happened to me in the two years I've been a tester.

[real flame]

What's updated

[uneven moat]

I could easily update on ios

[real flame]

Android has the same problem as yesterday，God！！！！！！！！！！！！！！1

[royal elm]

!whatsnewbeta

[hollow compass]

there aren't any more detailed patch notes, so you'll have to go explore by yourself: I think the textures for bells and chairs were fixed at least

[royal elm]

uh, !betawhatsnew

damn

[real flame]

Don’t administrators know about Android update issues?

[dry pivot]

!whatsnewinbeta

[gilded parrot]

Bug fixes and improvements

[hollow compass]

administrators where, at Google?

[real flame]

Yesterday you need to uninstall and reinstall, and today too! ! !

[royal elm]

You didn't, thats just a problem your device had

[dry pivot]

if you reported it then they know

[royal elm]

My updates worked perfectly fine both times

[real flame]

Android has this problem

[royal cliff]

most of them were Android users right? who claimed about those update problems

[dry pivot]

yeah but not all android players had that problem

[real flame]

yep

[royal cliff]

because I had that problems too.. I reinstall again today for update

[real flame]

android

[dry pivot]

so I think it's important to report it with your device info to help devs fix the problem

[hollow compass]

I also didn't have any issues, which is why I'm wondering if it is Android specific and then perhaps also down to what device you're using. It's probably not something TGC can do much about, sadly. But do still report it.

[real flame]

I saw this problem on Android in the feedback channel, but it seems that it has not been solved today.

[hollow compass]

Fixing an issue often takes longer than one day, because TGC needs to be able to reproduce the issue in order to find what it is that goes wrong. But again, it could very well also be a Google issue, which TGC can't do much about.

[spark lance]

hello

Is it not a playstore problem?

[royal cliff]

maybe or not...

[spark lance]

I think it is. Like how android testers couldn't download beta before

[dreamy moth]

What is the new area called in English? My game is in Italian so it’s already translated for me. I need to know the English name and caption that appear once you enter the new area before posting a feedback. 🙏🏻

[worn field]

the area is named "Sanctuary Islands"
the caption is "An escape from daily civilisation"

[quaint onyx]

People getting install issues: Playstore update, or in-game map pack updates?

[royal elm]

Was the home shrine moved from the archipelago to the belltower?

[dreamy moth]

Thank you! This confirms my hypothesis that the Italian translation is weird

[snow nebula]

I have anniversary hat, but It doesn’t show . Same problem anyone?

[worn field]

happy to help, Misera'!

[blazing sail]

the area is named "Sanctuary Islands"
the caption is "An escape from daily civilisation"
@worn field That S is gonna haunt me

[dry pivot]

@snow nebula it seems no one can wear it with headphones on

[snow nebula]

@dry pivot oh i didn’t know that thanks

[serene prawn]

How can I get the free candles TvT

[open spindle]

ah as an android player i didn't know that

@serene prawn cr is free:)

[serene prawn]

Can you add me fint?🐢🍈

Every who have the

I have

[tulip kettle]

Hello everyone, I would like to ask the dev whether to fix the ankles of the black pants of the sanctuary season? I felt the ankles of those pants were too small, they looked a little creepy

[serene prawn]

Oh

[open spindle]

@serene prawn i dont understand what you mean by

have you seen our legs they are thinner than twigs@tulip kettle

[karmic fox]

Is it just me or Sky Beta file is really BIGGG
Live version only 700MB+
But Beta is 2GB+

[quaint onyx]

Report that! Pls

[serene prawn]

It's the mask

[open spindle]

oh i dont have the deer mask

[serene prawn]

I have it

[quaint onyx]

You ran into the same issue that caused them to drop ODR the first time, it would download a duplicate version of the map packs without overwriting the old ones

Double Sky

[tulip kettle]

@open spindle yesss, it's veryyyy thin 😥

[serene prawn]

[karmic fox]

Oof , so should I uninstall and install again?

[serene prawn]

I wanna get the

[karmic fox]

I think I downloaded the maps over and over again when there's a new update

[quaint onyx]

That would work, whats it say the size is for data and for cache

[serene prawn]

omg wait game

[karmic fox]

Ahhh let me check again, I didn't realize is it data or cache

[serene prawn]

[karmic fox]

That's user data..cache only a few KB

[quaint onyx]

So its all in app

[karmic fox]

So HUGE 😱

[quaint onyx]

What's your app, data, and cache sizes?

[uncut plover]

Beta update again. What's the news?

[worn epoch]

hi guys i got my ultimate gift before the update and after update i cant get my ultimate gift cause my seasonal hearts are disappeared

anyone has any idea about it?

[uncut plover]

@worn epochalmost everyone has experienced this and has already been reported to dev

[worn epoch]

@uncut plover oh okay thanks 🙂

[fleet matrix]

#beta-known-issues

[dusky spoke]

Guys do we have ANOTHER update??

[quaint onyx]

You mean since last night? No, still just one

[dusky spoke]

I updated yesterday and it's gone now

[final lance]

there's update. yes

[dusky spoke]

It's saying to update again

[kind prawn]

I had another update, a few hours ago. Haven’t noticed any particular changes so far

[dusky spoke]

Wow crazy

[final lance]

Maybe try to check sanctuary again to check if there's any bugs (especially android)

[quaint onyx]

Update went out around midnight west coast, so you know what that means

[spark lance]

Hey guys, does the big whale at the 5th floor in the vault, make the same call as yours? Or is it just for me XD whatever call I use, while I’m burning the lamps on his back to activate the platform, it does the same call as mine 😂 I’m reporting it from a while lols - still, with the new update

[whole marsh]

Nope I thought it was just me LOL

I was like wait did it just make the new jelly call? 😆

[spark lance]

Ok then, I’m gonna report it again

[whole marsh]

I thought maybe it was just me and that I didn’t get enough coffee but you’re my confirmation it wasn’t a fever dream and yup better go ✍️

[random gull]

Another update?!

[north zealot]

Hi! Can i ask a question about a beta item from the outfit shrine ? 😄

[fervent finch]

how do we get manta cape

i wanna know before the season starts lol

[north zealot]

I have seen an item in the shrine which makes my kid look capeless, but i do not see it as obtainable in the spirit trees, where does it come from?

how do we get manta cape
@fervent finch its in the items u can buy with seazonal hearts

[fervent finch]

o but how can u view it, even if u havent bought everything from the spirits

[spark lance]

@fervent finch you can preview it in the cape closet,, if that’s what you’re asking

[fresh crater]

You can try on any item in your closet even if you haven’t bought it

[fervent finch]

ik

but u know the quest giver

i rlly want the manta cape, but do i need to buy everything to get the manta cape

[spark lance]

yeah you do, since it’s the last ultimate gift

[fervent finch]

oof

do i need to buy the things that need the season pass

[spark lance]

yep, the seasonal hearts to get ultimate gifts require the seasonal pass

[storm flame]

I have seen an item in the shrine which makes my kid look capeless, but i do not see it as obtainable in the spirit trees, where does it come from?
@north zealot You can find it in the spirit of fish called from the forest, you need 99 rising candles and 999 hearts to unlock it

[fervent finch]

ok

[kindred fossil]

i passed out as i sent my feedback and idk if it got sent

[orchid nexus]

it got sent

[fresh crater]

The tent over the new shrine in home is gone 🤭🤔😪 hope they bring it back. I think the new shrine is for players to relive old seasons

[flat willow]

Ive heard someone say they reused the shop asset from prelauch beta, maybe they're working on modifying it so that it correlates to its actual purpose? @fresh crater

Also how much slowdown is there? (10 sec)

[fresh crater]

?/ @flat willow So do you think I am completely off base here

It’s about 10 seconds

[flat willow]

I dont understand what you meant by that, sorry > ?/ @flat willow So do you think I am completely off base here
@fresh crater

English isnt my first lenguage

[fresh crater]

I think the shrine the new shrine in Home, Could be for new players to be able to relive old seasons

Ok sorry

[flat willow]

It could be like that, but then whats the point for travelling spirits?

If you can just relive the seasons

[fresh crater]

Well the traveling spirits Dont allow them to relive the whole season, In most games as you level up you play each season as it comes in this game you can’t do that I’m wondering if they’re doing it so players don’t lose seasons they can actually play them instead of travelers because travelers are very limited you only get one spirit at a time instead of the whole season

[flat willow]

The theory i am most inclined to is that its going to be a way to get the ultimate gifts from past seasons.

[fresh crater]

Ugg I have to go to work I was just throwing my idea around I’m probably wrong. You’re probably right too bad because I know a lot of new players would like to play all the seasons

[flat willow]

It would be nice, yes, but at the very core a season is just getting to see the spirits. Even if once every week/2 weeks you are lowkey relieving a bit of that season when you get a travelling spirit

[vapid drum]

How come some of the players see the sun beds and some decoration as pink , like the old forest building window bug ??? That one in forest I seen too , but all the sinners are normal for me 🤷‍♂️

Sun beds not sinners

[fresh crater]

Okie bye have a good day

[flat willow]

I know it has to do with missing textures, maybe your textures are loading properly and theirs dont?

[kindred fossil]

the tent never went away, it's very faint and hard to see in daylight

[dusky spoke]

Guys do i have to delete and download AGAIN for today's update

It's not going past 100% again :/

[broken wedge]

Is the new version not compatible for some phone, in which it was playing earlier

[random gull]

Guys do i have to delete and download AGAIN for today's update
@dusky spoke mine stayed at 100% for a good ten minutes before allowing me to open and play it today. I had to uninstall and reinstall yesterday. Check your internet connection and storage space on your phone and if both are good you might have to go uninstall/reinstall route

my app fluxuates between 900 MB and 1.01 GB from the past several updates for te full storage space it takes up

[dusky spoke]

Oh no

I don't think i can play beta if i have to uninstall and reinstall at every update

:(

[random gull]

I'm not really sure if it's a google problem or a device specific problem. there were a few ios devices having that problem yesterday too

[spark lance]

What if the office decorations simplified abit? It's a bit messy imo

[random gull]

submit your ideas in #beta-feedback ! our suggestions do help polish the game so it can be the best for live players

[amber umbra]

I don‘t really notice anything different with this build, other than the chairs having the proper texture and the shinybois being in the right place. Has anyone else noticed anything?

Found a few more bugs, but that‘s been about it so far. Guess I need to keep looking.

[random gull]

I haven't explored much besides grabbing seasonal candles today. I heard others mention this morning that the vault mantas were making the same sound as jelly call

[compact iron]

I notice maybe if they can make back the little iland where the star was i dont find it anymore its close to the gate of sanctuary islands

[viral ginkgo]

@random gull no that was butterfly sounds. It’s the sound they make when they charge you. I just bug reported it 👍

[north zealot]

@north zealot You can find it in the spirit of fish called from the forest, you need 99 rising candles and 999 hearts to unlock it
@storm flame i would need 10 real lives to get that hahahah OMG

[random gull]

I was like wait did it just make the new jelly call? 😆
I just mentioned what I read earlier ^^ I didn't actually go high enough in vault to get to the mantas.

[storm flame]

I'm glad I already have it.^ω^

[random gull]

they might be making different sounds for different people though. Now I'm curious 🤣

[spark lance]

There's alot of cleanup to do

[random gull]

I fell like game development is a series of "fix one thing and three more break" on endless repeat. TGC is amazing at keeping up with it all though.

[flat willow]

The big ghost manta sounds so cute with the fish call

[bright portal]

doing a test cr run for daylight + sanctuary , took about 20 mins

[honest folio]

If I leave beta and then come back in a future wave, is my progress kept?

[flat willow]

@honest folio if you have your account linked to google play or game center, yes

If not... Maybe, but i wouldnt try my luck 👀 💦

[honest folio]

Oh well, was just curious. I will be leaving beta cause I haven't had time to test so I want to free my spot for someone else more useful

[flat willow]

Lets pray to the google gods that your sacrifice lets another person download the app

[honest folio]

I'm ios

[flat willow]

Lets pray to the testflight gods that your sacrifice lets another person download the app

There, fixed it 😌

[hollow compass]

It won't, until there is a new invite wave.

[flat willow]

But there were some people in ios that also joined the program and werent able to download the app

Even if its ALOT less than android

[hollow compass]

Oh, ok. I don't think I heard of that before. Otoh, I don't think one person leaving will affect an error on someone else's download.

[pulsar edge]

!tsbeta (does this still work?)

[gilded parrot]

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!

[pulsar edge]

Survey says yes

[mild panther]

hola sensei

[random gull]

how did that not flag skybot's "speak English only" message 🤣

[mild panther]

no clue lmao

[pulsar edge]

Cause “hola” and “sensei” are words that have become part of colloquial English

And are used a lot here on the interwebs

It’ll only trigger if you have like a full sentence in another language usually.

[hollow compass]

Hej på dig.

Nope, it didn't trigger.

[sand dawn]

Dit is een test

[mild panther]

we are just testing if the bot works jk

[vast sun]

Wow the skybot doesn’t care about me lol

[flat willow]

Yes its for feedback purposes

[woven jacinth]

3 weeks and still cant download beta, ill go cry in the corner now

[mild panther]

i think you need to wait for next invite wave

not sure tho pls don't judge me

[random gull]

yeah I don't think google is really trying to fix it they've blamed TGC for it

[woven jacinth]

But i got the "youre now a betatester" in the last wave but google is weird and doesnt regognize that im beta yester

[bright hedge]

When is the game becoming one year

[woven jacinth]

and im not the only one

[mild panther]

last wave be like that tho

[woven jacinth]

I got it in the second wave of the last waves 3 weeks ago

[mild panther]

wat

[flat willow]

The one year celebration will be for when it first went live or for when the beta was released?

[woven jacinth]

The waves that happened 3 weeks ago, i got it in the second one

[mild panther]

idk then, really
i bet you tried all the steps in faq and even repeat them

[woven jacinth]

Yea

[empty river]

The one year celebration will be for when it first went live or foe when the beta was released?
it's for global release anniversary!

[flat willow]

Oh so for the live verison :0

[hollow compass]

The one year celebration will most likely be for when it was released worldwide on 18th July 2019

[cosmic ivy]

I’ve only been with this game since rhythm but hearing that Sky is turning one I just-

I feel like I’ve watched this child grow up so fast

[hollow compass]

it's been...a journey, lol

[dusky spoke]

Haha

[flat willow]

lvl 4

(its the slow clap)

[kindred fossil]

more like sarcastic clap

[hollow compass]

yeah, I always found that level 4 one as sarcastic

it's ok, it was a dad joke

[proper helm]

Did we get our hearts back after the update?

[broken wedge]

@woven jacinth download a p k

[woven jacinth]

What is that

Is that one of the cheat things?

[orchid nexus]

@broken wedge don't suggest things that are against the rules, or try to bypass filters here

[pallid badger]

No @broken wedge apk is against the terms of service. Check #rules if you’re not sure.

[woven jacinth]

Knew it

[kindred fossil]

please don't encourage 3rd party downloads, not only it is against TOS, but extremely dangerous and could put you and your device at risk

c-c-c-combo

[worthy tulip]

I'm part of the waiting party but I wouldn't want to risk getting a third party app anyway. I'll just wait and enjoy the fact I'll get in one day

[mild panther]

I smell ||h a c k e r z||

[sharp scroll]

I smell b e e f

[mild panther]

I smell liek b e e f

[random gull]

Did we get our hearts back after the update?
@proper helm you didn't get answered among the other stuff I see. no we didn't get the hearts back and probably won't. check #beta-faq we don't get reimbursed in beta. just get it in live when it comes to live 🙂

[late mountain]

is just clueless as to what that even is. anyway back to beta discussions XD

[proper helm]

@proper helm you didn't get answered among the other stuff I see. no we didn't get the hearts back and probably won't. check #beta-faq we don't get reimbursed in beta. just get it in live when it comes to live 🙂
@random gull Thank u for the answer
They announced in beta news that they were looking into it and so I was curious whether the new update fixed it

[kindred fossil]

probably by that it meant "looking into wether this error will carry over to live"

[random gull]

looking into it probably means they want to make sure it's not a bug that will happen in live. I don't suspect it will affect live players because we did purchase an item. it was just a null item at the time of purchase

[hollow compass]

it could also mean that they are looking into making the items appear for those who bought a blank

since that is actually a sort of error, because we do occasionally buy things that are moved around or not "available"

[proper helm]

But then we will not be able to test the manta cape since the hearts are already bought and we can't buy them again.

[mild panther]

Well, he's got the point imo

[random gull]

don't get your hopes too high for that. setting yourself up for some huge disappointment later if you do. I'm among the people who lost 3 seasonal hearts to it and I understand I likely won't get those back. Ask Seraph who bought the founders pack before the cape got added in. They can never get the founders cape and it still hasn't been fixed

[cosmic ivy]

^^

[kindred fossil]

conclusion: patience, we'll see how this rolls out

[empty river]

you can try on the cape in the closet + there's still players that will have access to it. but then again its not really necessary to test cosmetics like capes

[proper helm]

I don't see the founder's pack in live. Is it removed in live too??

[cosmic ivy]

I believe the capes mesh is actually just made of the regular cape, so I don’t believe the tail is going to go crazy on us any time soon, haha

[random gull]

I don't see the founder's pack in live. Is it removed in live too??
@proper helm you can only buy it while in the office. ask someone to bring you there

[cosmic ivy]

@proper helm the founders pack is only available once you are inside office ♥︎♥︎

[proper helm]

@proper helm you can only buy it while in the office. ask someone to bring you there
@random gull oh.. earlier it was directly accessible from the shop

[mild panther]

[random gull]

did you purchase it already? I bought it aaaaagggggeeees ago when it was only in the office. didn't know they'd made it available in the shop anywhere. you can only buy it once though

[lusty light]

The founders cape is always only available in the office

[spark lance]

Geralt, you need a office uber to buy the founders cape in Live

[proper helm]

No... I'm poor
But I saw the founder's pack in the regular shop (outside office) some updates before... It looked just like the starter pack but with the blue cape instead of orange

[mild panther]

Maybe it was a bug

[proper helm]

Maybe it was a bug
@mild panther Both the starter and founder packs were there

[kindred fossil]

iirc it was a bug before

[mild panther]

wha

[spark lance]

Founders cape is TGC blue

[kindred fossil]

you can purchase starter's wherever

[lavish dune]

Hey guy... any update on the missing seasonal hearts situation?

[hollow compass]

No, they did make it available if you were inside the barrier area, I think.

[proper helm]

Hey Yen, remember me? It's Geralt🤣

[mild panther]

Yea i do remember, henlo

[lusty light]

They’re not going to give anyone their seasonal hearts back

[mild panther]

Rip

[lavish dune]

Whaaat

[lusty light]

Their investigation is most likely seeing if this issue would happen in the real game

#beta-faq you never get compensation for bugs even if it’s currency related

[lavish dune]

Well rip lol

[kindred fossil]

yup

[lavish dune]

Thank you

[proper helm]

I hoped I would get my first ever ultimate gift.. even tho its in beta but

[spark lance]

Beta is testing ground. I cannot imagine the horror if the bug didn't fix properly then transfer to Live version though

[whole marsh]

Beta is the test version of sky so please don’t take it too much to the heart. Live is the main game and should be the focus as I imagine beta at some point might not be needed in the future when they reach to that lvl

[random gull]

you can try the manta cape on in the closet and test the handpan when you get the last 3 seasonal hearts! flying mechanics on a cape will work the same as any other cape since it's just a new design on the cape build that already exists. so trying on in the closet works fine for providing feedback on how it looks in beta. You can get and keep the cape in live when the season comes out

[proper helm]

Was the swing available to buy in beta?

[mild panther]

that is why you shouldn't rush for cosmetics my guy

[kindred fossil]

yes, the swing was tested in beta, it actually was rough looking before being properly redesigned

[mild panther]

I hope le swing will be back next Valentine's

[kindred fossil]

most likely in live, but not beta, there's no need to

[cosmic ivy]

Next Valentine’s Day they can have a tire swing 👀

[proper helm]

TBH swing is over priced and not very useful

[kindred fossil]

oh dear god

[mild panther]

It looks cool aight

[kindred fossil]

we had pages upon pages of discussion about its price

[thin frigate]

I want to ask this here since it feels like the best place, but is it common knowledge that using the point emote or heading home can cause a person to fall below the vault's floor barrier? (This is a live question by the way, but I feel less likely to get in trouble here for some reason)

[kindred fossil]

yes, it's well known

[random gull]

you can spoiler tag things in #questions-and-help if you're unsure about spoiler status

[thin frigate]

Thank you

[proper helm]

I knew only about the faint emote until now

[cosmic ivy]

I usually used pray, but it works for all stagnant animations I would believe

[minor robin]

Bogjoore: nah you won’t get in trouble for asking questions about bugs like this. (also I had no idea about that emote lol)

[proper helm]

I can create light trails

[odd umbra]

the swing - it's more about perspective differences imo

[kindred fossil]

maybe it's not as well known as i thought, lol

[surreal shadow]

how is beta everybody?

[kindred fossil]

pain

[mild panther]

gucci

[surreal shadow]

haha

[proper helm]

TGC should have made the swing's price $1.. It would have generated much much more revenue

[kindred fossil]

...?

[proper helm]

Everyone would have bought.. almost everyone

[kindred fossil]

1$...? that's not how it works...

[random gull]

probably not. I don't buy things I don't want simply because they're $1

[lilac timber]

I definitely would've bought xD

[proper helm]

Me too😂

[odd umbra]

that's part of support to the company Geralt.

[minor robin]

Geralt: I don’t believe that the amount of effort and time it takes to code and build the swing model is worth $1 at all. And that’s such a low price for any cosmetic... there would be people questioning why it wasn’t simply added to the regular constellations for free

[thin frigate]

Bogjoore: nah you won’t get in trouble for asking questions about bugs like this. (also I had no idea about that emote lol)
@minor robin Thank you for letting me know

[random gull]

as said before there was pages and pages of beta discussion on price before they settled for what they charged. I think their prices are typically fair. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean they should charge less on a product they worked hard on and already sell themselves short on

[cosmic ivy]

I think the price was very fair honestly, especially because it’s going to all the talented people over at TGC for their hard work, time, and effort ♥︎♥︎

[minor robin]

If you low ball a price like that, you also devalue the true effort and work behind something. It isn’t just about deals and making players happy, but also having integrity and belief that one’s work is truly worth $

[proper helm]

Are prices discussed here before releasing the product?

[kindred fossil]

yes

[mild panther]

[lusty light]

Prices of items are not up to us though

[kindred fossil]

well, most of the time

[proper helm]

[random gull]

yup beta provides feedback on prices but TGC ultimately decides the price themselves.

[kindred fossil]

yeah that

[proper helm]

I think they should add a free swing at home for everyone

[mild panther]

Bruh it would be occupied 24/7

[lilac timber]

Is anyone else a bit unsatisfied with new sunbathing chairs placements?

[hollow bolt]

Why are you unsatisfied green?

[lilac timber]

I think the first ones to the left of the entrance are good though

[proper helm]

Playground/park area at home.. with swing, see saw, big chat tables and benches with no candle requirements and slides

[lusty light]

You can get swing spells from the ark tho

[mild panther]

10 hearts

[lilac timber]

Can't really pinpoint what I don't like, just a feeling 😔

10 hearts.. I would rather finish constellations

[hollow bolt]

Ah okay, that makes a bit more sense. I thought you would’ve not liked how some emotes make you sink right through the chair, or that there’s several different types of beach chairs, etc.

[hollow compass]

It would be nice with chat benches in Home, but apparently feedback was very negative on that from old Aviary and now there isn't really any space for it either. So most chat features are in the hubs or other places.

[proper helm]

That would be kind of a lot to cram into the current home space, unless they made it bigger
@lyric kite I mean a separate area, which would be unlocked once you finish eden for the first time maybe

[lilac timber]

Oh I know what would make it much better, sun umbrellas owo

[proper helm]

Don't u guys think candles burn too fast on chat benches

[hollow bolt]

There is a chat table anyway in vault, and in the tree in forest.

[proper helm]

There is a chat table anyway in vault, and in the tree in forest.
@hollow bolt where in vault?

[cosmic ivy]

Aah yes, the supersized table haha

[hollow bolt]

Inside the 4 player door where you collect the spirit

[proper helm]

Ooh yeah yeah😂 😂

[lilac timber]

Does anyone actually use candles for benches? Besides moths

[proper helm]

Tree house chat table is awesome and the ambience is so amazing

[kindred fossil]

i did if i was enjoying the conversation

[proper helm]

Does anyone actually use candles for benches? Besides moths
@lilac timber sometimes... When I want to exchange QR but the candle burns out

[lilac timber]

Does that work? I thought links counted as red messages

[hollow bolt]

If I’m enjoying the conversation I usually spend all my candles on unlocking the chat

[kindred fossil]

at those times i usually had 1 or 2 candles

[proper helm]

I dunno but my invite links get sent using the table in live but other people links get censored....

But my links get censored in beta

[spark lance]

I heard the swing supposed to be an ultimate gift?

[kindred fossil]

no

[spark lance]

Ok, i heard from others. I missed some seasons so Idk

[odd umbra]

yea, it's valentine's day's ultimate gift 🤣

[kindred fossil]

i recall that being speculation, but ultimately (heh) it's an IAP item, completely separate from the season it released in

[proper helm]

But, it cost almost as the pass

[kindred fossil]

it has functionality, and you can chat privately without stranger's table/bonfire merging

[proper helm]

I wish we had more than 50 emotes without boosts in discord

No eavesdropping?

[kindred fossil]

yes, from strangers that is

[proper helm]

[cold pike]

wait dark I don’t remember paying for the swings, I thought it was a gift for days of love

[kindred fossil]

we were given 4 free swing spells to try out during days of love

but if you wanted to own the swing permanently you had to buy it from the IAP shop

[random gull]

I didn't understand how the spells worked and used all four of mine in one go trying to figure out how to even put it down

[proper helm]

Why the hell beta downloads all the realms again and again even if its a minor update?

[empty inlet]

It's intended

[hard knoll]

Odr was introduced

[proper helm]

Still doesn't feel like ODR

[empty inlet]

From ktjn:

when we do a new build, all levels must redownload with the latest files.

RIP data

[supple vortex]

Hi guys. I’m not sure if it’s been resolved already but I purchased the ultimate gift before the icon was created now it’s updated but it shows I haven’t purchased the instrument yet. However, my hearts were already used.

[empty inlet]

see #beta-known-issues

Hi guys. I’m not sure if it’s been resolved already but I purchased the ultimate gift before the icon was created now it’s updated but it shows I haven’t purchased the instrument yet. However, my hearts were already used.
@supple vortex same... A lot of people experienced this including myself

[hard knoll]

Oh btw, you might not know it but it’s the same for ios. It just downloads it from the testflight app itself. So when you come home it feels like it didnt do it but it does actually.

[supple vortex]

see #beta-known-issues
@empty inlet yes I’ve checked that already and seen a few same reports.

[median oyster]

As the saying goes, don’t get attached to beta

[random gull]

regarding the seasonal hearts: you bought an item. it was just null at the time of purchase so you received null. I did the same. we likely won't get reimbursed for it and the investigation is likely just to make sure it won't happen in live (since there is an item there now and it's not null it shouldn't happen in live)

[empty inlet]

It's possible that you'll never get compensation

[supple vortex]

I see.

That’s sad though.

[empty inlet]

That's beta

[proper helm]

Actually they should have used the data format instead of split apk format cause in data format all the files are in uncompressed in the system folder so that only the files that are patched are downloaded instead of each and every file

Android/data

[supple vortex]

That's beta
@empty inlet what do you mean?

[empty inlet]

💰 No compensation. Beta is for testing and finding bugs. It's not a substitute for the full Live version of the game. As such, we generally do not offer compensation when players encounter bugs, even if they affect currencies or other important account features. As a tester, you should submit a bug report to #beta-bugs-ios or #beta-bugs-android if you encounter an issue.
in #beta-faq

[random gull]

beta isn't a replacement for live, free stuff, or early access. we're here to test stuff only so get attached to your live stuff not beta. (we could see a complete progress wipe any time after all!)

[supple vortex]

Yeah. Though it’s nice if compensation is also done in beta as it would in live. Not complaining though.

Yeah of course

[empty inlet]

Compensation result in extra works for devs

[hard knoll]

I think it requires additional work to precise which files exactly to download, specially if like half of them were changed. It means they have to go through the whole list and for the update and downloads to occur make a selection of exactly what was changed. If you have to re download everything, they dont get to do that additional work

[supple vortex]

Yeah. That’s sad.

[empty inlet]

They could better use the time on fixing bugs

[supple vortex]

Yeah. True.

[proper helm]

but almost all games are in data format... But I think they did split apk format so that people can't access the game files directly

[thick ridge]

What's the new shop at home?

[supple vortex]

I think it’s for the cosmetics of season of rhythm. Just guessing. Lol

[tender oasis]

Does anyone have a screenshot/video of the Sanctuary aloha caped spirit entrance and big plant area? I feel like they really lightened the area maybe added a stair kinda thing to get to the spirit and the town is more bluish than brownish. Unfortunately i didnt make any photos there and i don’t trust in my memory.

[random gull]

we don't know yet! there's only been speculation but devs haven't confirmed anything

[thick ridge]

Yes I've noticed season of rhythm icon

[supple vortex]

The next season’s gonna be jam-packed!

[empty river]

@tender oasis they did change the lightning and added stairs! the entrance used to have a slope instead, I'll see if i can find a video 👀

[thick ridge]

Why is my playstore showing 745/200mb now,it happened yesterday (should I just uninstall for every update?)

[random gull]

my app's been between 900 MB and 1.01 GB for the last 4 updates now

[proper helm]

Yes I've noticed season of rhythm icon
@thick ridge I think that is the Winter season

[thick ridge]

Oh 🤦‍♂️

[proper helm]

I dunno.. cause I haven't played those seasons🤣

[thick ridge]

my app's been between 900 MB and 1.01 GB for the last 4 updates now
@random gull what device are you using(I'm curious why its large sized)

@proper helm me neither

[proper helm]

My sky is still updating😳

[random gull]

galaxy note 10. it was in the 700s before the added ODR support

[tender oasis]

Thanks Giccix I felt that something is really different there, and my only sharp memory was really struggling with dragging the spirit where the stairs are now.
It’s little bit weird that there is no actual light source in that area and the ladder area either.

[thick ridge]

I've cleared cache and it worked for me atleast(cache accumulated for weeks is bad)

[proper helm]

galaxy note 10. it was in the 700s before the added ODR support
@random gull rich

[thick ridge]

Hmm probably due to the resolution and stuff

[random gull]

so like it's not a significant change in file size (compared to the 256 GB storage I have) . and nah not rich 🤣 I'm still paying this phone off a year later XD I just got told if I didn't upgrade my note 5 that it would brick itself and cried cuz I loved my stylus. the 7 was the explodey battery and the 9 literally cost the same amount as the 10 preorder so I was like why not and got the 10.

[proper helm]

😳 why would a phone brick itself tho? They probably told u a lie

[random gull]

they probably meant that support would stop happening and if something broke or stopped working I'd get told "too bad so sad". I'm glad I upgraded anyways cuz the note 5 can't play sky 🤷‍♂️

[proper helm]

they probably meant that support would stop happening and if something broke or stopped working I'd get told "too bad so sad". I'm glad I upgraded anyways cuz the note 5 can't play sky 🤷‍♂️
@random gull yeah well, everything happens for good😊

[random gull]

yup! I hope this phone can play sky for a long time

[proper helm]

I wish I had a good job so that I could buy the TGC cape🥺

[random gull]

I just pick up overtime for sky IAPs. guess I'm lucky that I can maybe you could do something on the side like offer to cut some neighbors yards for them to get extra cash. double good deed cuz you helped a neighbor and you helped TGC

[proper helm]

Tho my parents would let me spend money on a game

[random gull]

what if you framed it as spending money on helping grow a small business

[proper helm]

What?!! My sky beta is downloading additional files over and over

[random gull]

it's probably because of the ODR support. I'm thinking adding that support is what's causing a lot of the issues with downloading stuff right now. might be something to bug report or put in #beta-feedback to make sure the devs are aware this is a problem affecting a lot of us

[empty inlet]

In-App Purchases - Issue
Yesterday, 11:00 PM - ongoing
Some users are affected
Some users are experiencing a problem with the service listed above.

[random gull]

is that live? beta doesn't really have any IAPs right now

[empty inlet]

i believe, just put it here for reference in case

[small pebble]

The whole season is gone for my beta

I can still get the candles, but thr quest giver is gone, and the constellation is gone

[hard knoll]

Tried restarting?

[small pebble]

Good idea

I just downloaded the update

[hard knoll]

There was an update that happened where as soon as I opened the app, seasonal conste was gone. So i restarted and it was good again. Try that and let us know if the problem persists?

[rugged pivot]

Bloody hell. My game is still updating. 😑

[random gull]

try uninstalling and reinstalling. that worked for me yesterday

[steep ferry]

it's when your game is still updating, when saying 765/202MB, you wonder why the size of the additional data required is larger than the whole app

[random gull]

ODR is why. it only downloads the core of the game at first so you can open it faster (supposedly) and downloads other assets as needed. I haven't seen anyone be able to open it at the 202 MB part though

basically that additional data is literally every realm besides home space and the constellations

[rugged pivot]

So how large it is? I'm stuck at 666 MB. My impatient self hit cancel.

[random gull]

mine's been fluctuating between 900 MB and 1.01 GB for the last 4 updates

when mine got stuck I uninstalled and reinstalled and it loaded pretty much right away so you can try that

[rugged pivot]

I'm afraid if I uninstall the game I will lose all my progress. I'm not sure if I connected the game to Google Play. 😑

[lofty lantern]

Tbh the game size is now 1.3GB

[rugged pivot]

Whoa.

[lofty lantern]

ODR is Really messing it up

[rugged pivot]

I feel bad for cancelling it a few times.

[random gull]

I'm thinking this is something we should all submit to #beta-feedback with device info so TGC can investigate it! there might be a fix if they can figure out the source of the problem

[lofty lantern]

Leave it for an hour it will be installed

[chilly wigeon]

I met a Chinese kid a I thought I wouldn't be able to talk to them but they can speak almost perfect English so I can

[random gull]

oh yeah they learn English in school! some of them care enough about school to actually learn English 🤣 I wish America taught second language in school as a normal course

[chilly wigeon]

My school made you learn a language

But only 3

[random gull]

the translate feature has been AMAZING though for those who don't know English. I could only hold conversations in English and Japanese without translate

[spark lance]

Someone said that ultimate gifts can be bought from the shop thing at home, I don’t believe it, but is it true?

[chilly wigeon]

No

[lofty lantern]

Nope

[spark lance]

Okie that’s what I thought, thank you ❤️

[rugged pivot]

No one knows.

[random gull]

Someone said that ultimate gifts can be bought from the shop thing at home, I don’t believe it, but is it true?
@spark lance nope not true. You can buy them with seasonal hearts from home space by talking to the questgiver. 6 seasonal hearts in total

[lofty lantern]

Its the same shop that up there for buying pass and candles pack

[chilly wigeon]

But at my school they made you watch badly animated kids videos to learn a new language

[dense verge]

I want my hearts back

[rugged pivot]

I just hope they will relocate the shops in the Forgotten Ark to Home area.

[dense verge]

Cri

[random gull]

that's beta for you though. you lose cosmetics and currency unexpectedly. just par for the course

[dense verge]

well yeah

I wanted to test out the turtle shell tho

[lilac timber]

badly animated kids' videos for learning languages in school gang

[dense verge]

Ah well I guess I’ll just wait for live

[mint valley]

Where are the candles location?

[chilly wigeon]

1st and 2nd floor of vault

[random gull]

you can still get the handpan instrument when you get the last 3 seasonal hearts. manta cape won't be possible but you can try it on in the closet to give feedback on how it looks anyways

[steep ferry]

why is the shop in uh, home, that thing, what is that?

[random gull]

Where are the candles location?
@mint valley search my name in #screenshots-and-videos I post pics every morning of the locations

why is the shop in uh, home, that thing, what is that?
@steep ferry we can only speculate what it's for. right now it shows you the same IAP shop that you get in the settings menu. Devs haven't confirmed what it's for though

[steep ferry]

huh, I see, cool thanks

[proper helm]

My game finally updated

[native finch]

What is the beta code for Sky in TestFlight

[potent pumice]

If you mean the link to get into beta the invite period is over as mentioned here https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/718642521542098974/721889870733246474 and you’ll have to wait to next time my friend. Check out #beta-faq for more information.

[bitter imp]

Has there been any discussion on the bow-tie coming back? A quick search and I see that there are at least 6 bug tickets filed against the missing bow-tie. I was really looking forward to that cosmetic. Thanks

[random gull]

we don't know what's going on with it at present since the devs haven't said anything. it does have the null icon like the ultimates did at first and is no longer in the closet so some are speculating that they are replacing it with something else. but that's only speculation

[night mica]

Has anyone else noticed that the light gradient/glow effect around shinybois looks very pixelated now?

[random gull]

submit a bug report! especially helpful if you have any screenshots 📸

[night mica]

Just wondered if it was my eyes playing tricks, I definitely think they look sharper in live though 🤔

[random gull]

it's possible that it's just a beta bug! I didn't check the shinybois today so I couldn't tell you if my device looks that way too right now.

[proper helm]

Did they change something in beta eden?

[rich field]

Didn't have that issue yesterday but there was an update today, would check but have all the wls atm. I think you should send a screenie and put it in the beta bug section or compare the two

i didnt notice anything different, why @proper helm

[night mica]

well it's been like that for the past few days on mine, I noticed it when I went to collect stars after eden. I have oneplus 5t so I dont usually experience graphics glitches

[proper helm]

Has anyone else noticed that the light gradient/glow effect around shinybois looks very pixelated now?
@night mica Didn't notice after today's update but there was pixelated graphics

i didnt notice anything different, why @proper helm
@rich field A friend told me that he heard from someone that Eden was modified a bit he was excited to try it out..
I told him that I didn't think so otherwise official beta chat would have exploded

[spark lance]

the new seasonal spirits' emotes look.... questionable

[rich field]

@spark lance how ?

[spark lance]

the jelly call tho 10/10

[rich field]

@proper helm i was in there yesterday and it was the same

[spark lance]

@spark lance how ?
@rich field idk they seem weird to me lol

[rich field]

something about the winds kinda felt different, but i think it was cuz of the height difference between me in live and beta (:

[spark lance]

but a good weird

[proper helm]

Did the belly rub emote spirit eat his friends?

[spark lance]

THE JELLY CALL SOUNDS SO FUNNNNYYYYYYYYYY

[tough pebble]

Do y'all know what the friendship thingy is for?

[proper helm]

THE JELLY CALL SOUNDS SO FUNNNNYYYYYYYYYY
@spark lance It's mosquito call actually

[spark lance]

@spark lance It's mosquito call actually
@proper helm LMAO YES

[random gull]

Do y'all know what the friendship thingy is for?
@tough pebble the "mysterious ranking of how friendly you are"?

[spark lance]

the sunglasses tho xDDD

[tough pebble]

Yeah

[spark lance]

this season is just heavensent

[chilly wigeon]

I finally got the beard mask today

[random gull]

that's the shepherd system. when the meter fills up you are a shepherd and it basically tells new players you are a friendly person who is likely to help them out. nobody knows how it fills up though but when you're a shepherd moths will see a symbol over your head and you can see who is a moth

[spark lance]

i really want the braids lol

[tough pebble]

oooooh

[proper helm]

You get a rank called shepherd after filling up the friendship bar. It shows u new players by adding a heart symbol over their heads..

[tough pebble]

I'm gonna love that I can finally let all the little mothies come to me

[spark lance]

the bermuda cape....

[tough pebble]

I can finally help the ones in wastland

[spark lance]

xDDDD i cant take it anymoreee

[tough pebble]

Also Eden AAAAH I want it in live

[random gull]

the moths don't always know what that symbol means

hold on what's going on in eden now?

[tough pebble]

I'mma gonna have many moth babies

[rich field]

im expecting if they do put a thingy they will put some kinda prompt

[tough pebble]

Idk something about light boys being pixelated

[random gull]

the shepherd system has been in beta for a while so we don't know if the feature will ever make it to live. I do love the idea of it though because i am a person who collects moths and levels them up

[warm badger]

How can you tell if your Shepard bar is full?

[proper helm]

How can you tell if your Shepard bar is full?
@warm badger check urself

By tapping on the heart icon in the friends constellation

[warm badger]

Will it say you are a Shepard?

[random gull]

yes if it's full it says you are a shepherd

[hidden quarry]

https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/618891214527266846/728313234540462194 someone got it recently, heres how it looks like @warm badger

[random gull]

nobody knows how to fill it though. it just happens. like I was shepherd within a week of starting beta and some players older than me don't have it.

[warm badger]

Huh, im a Shepard though I have no idea how

Yeah

[hidden quarry]

my friend who hadnt played since forever (lightseekers?) and never got past wasteland got shepherd too i really have no idea how it works

[warm badger]

Huh

[rich field]

from what i've observed, you have to be kinda steadily active and sociable

[hidden quarry]

from what they said they werent active at all 👁️👁️ probably a bug

[rich field]

when i was very very active and met new friends and stuff i got sheperd, i kinda stopped candle running as much and really meeting people for like a week and i lost it

[random gull]

it does say it's a mysterious ranking I suspect it won't come to live any time soon if at all though because there's been debate on people using that system to grief new players. or seeing the shepherd badge as a status symbol to be achieved .

[rich field]

oh that's weird

[warm badger]

It’s something you can lose too? Weird

[icy fog]

hello

[rich field]

I think it's a cool thing and might help but also that just because you are active and meeting new peeps does not mean you want to help moths

some people ik legit treat moths like they're "less than" and don't see the thrill in helping a moth, watching them grow and exceed your flying skills

[hidden quarry]

i never candle run in beta but managed to get the bar filled by unlocking many friend constellation nodes

[icy fog]

how can i send a android issue ?

[tough pebble]

I'm a little worried about the griefers who may use the rank for their advantage

[hidden quarry]

#beta-bugs-android @icy fog

[icy fog]

but, i can't send messages there

[rich field]

i find great joy in helping newbies but some just walk around with their head held high and act high and mighty,, i dont like to think about that, but it does happen

[hidden quarry]

@icy fog click the flame symbol at the bottom of the channel and skybot will dm you

[hollow compass]

Aislex, please scroll down and read the instructions

[rich field]

you tap the reaction to trigger it

[tough pebble]

Mhm

[icy fog]

ok thanks

[hollow compass]

it actually doesn't matter which one you choose, since the bot will guide your report to the right place anyway

[tough pebble]

It's sad to know that other players treat moths like nothing more than a nuisance

I kinda get it but

[rich field]

I don't get it at all tbh if when i joined, a veteran didn't help me around, i would've probably walked around isle, got confused and uninstalled

[tough pebble]

Same

The only thing that kept me going is confusion and curiosity

[rich field]

several of my friends told me when they joined they got rly confused and had to google it
and some of the newer people ive met had told me about them getting krilled when someone was guiding them, probably to make them lose their light or generally being unkind

i dont even know if i should call it "guide" more like bullying tbh

[tough pebble]

Omg I know those kind of people

[hollow compass]

There will always be trolls in big online games, sadly.

[rich field]

[tough pebble]

One of the members in out little server does it for fun

[rich field]

why tho

[tough pebble]

And we generally don't like the idea of him krilling moths

[rich field]

it's like eliminating the progress they made and time they spent

[tough pebble]

Idk ya see our server is like a krill church where we consider krilling as a kind of ritual but we don't krill anyone without their consent

But he does it in excuse that he's doing the ritual

Sorry if that sounded crazy it's a meme server

[hollow compass]

With all due respect, but that actually sounds really dumb and verging on abusive, if it's done to an unsuspecting new player.

[tough pebble]

Yeah that's why we told him not to do it

[hollow compass]

It may sound ridiculous, but consent is important online too.

[tough pebble]

Yes exactly

[royal elm]

I feel like the shepherd system SHOULDN'T come to live

[hollow compass]

I have seen far too many new players be genuinely terrified and almost traumatised by meeting krill the first time. There are also some very young players among us. That is a terribly disrespectful and selfish behaviour.

[tough pebble]

I feel bad for the moths who are being krill for the own entertainment of the vets

I've had my fair share of krills krilling me as a moth and let me tell ya I didn't finish wastland in two days

[rich field]

I have to agree with @hollow compass

[tough pebble]

I had a vet guide me through gladly she's a nice one

[hollow compass]

Seriously, no true veteran player would do that. We know and understand that this game is built on friendship and kindness.

[royal elm]

I generally let moths drag me around the realms, and soon when I get the umbrella I can protect the moths in forest

[rich field]

I understand wanting to fly around with the krills for the thrill :) me and my friends sometimes do that but only because we know home glitch and we just find it kinda funny. we NEVER EVER EVER bring a new player or someone who doesn't know the glitch or someone who doesn't want to, and NEVER in big groups or when someone is in the same map.

[tough pebble]

YES ikr that's what sky is all about but some are just not respecting other players in general

[radiant tree]

im gonna fight the “veterans” who krill moths. like, why is that fun to you?? what should be more fun is guiding around a new player and feeling accomplished you were able to complete the level together. if you don’t to guide a moth, just don’t friend them

[rich field]

when a moth adds me i try to put down my table, if i dont have a table with me at that moment i use a spell and try to communicate with them / go to a social space if its nearby and ask if they want me to help them or they want to explore. if they say the latter, i just let them grab my hand and recharge them

[fresh crater]

I feel ya

[visual vigil]

Trolls are everywhere and once we can't report unlit players is hard to fight against them on sky

[tough pebble]

Moths are very cute when they see you and instantly ask to be ur friend

[radiant tree]

moth protection squad!!

[tough pebble]

Moth lives matter

[rich field]

it's truly upsetting to hear people talk about getting krilled cuz of someone who calls themselves a veteran they are not a veteran. they are a bully targeting the future of sky

[royal elm]

Yeah, if you take a moth everywhere it kinda ruins the experience for them, I remember crying in forest as a moth because I was lost and then a vet came and helped me out

[tough pebble]

Ur not a veteran if ur not helpful

[fresh crater]

So right and it’s very upsetting I feel so bad when they lurk around intentionally trying to get them to loose stars to krill

[tender oasis]

Fun part mostly comes when you are experienced, and completed a bunch of things and trying to find new activities. Definitely not when you are new so, krilling moths intentionally is really not a behaviour a decent player should do.

[visual vigil]

We should be able to report unlit players

[radiant tree]

best part about being a veteran is helping others!

[tough pebble]

I go to wasteland time to time just help moths go through krills with a table ready and sometimes it's generally fun to help them out
