beta-discussion

[tough pebble]

Island*

[pulsar blade]

Live sanctuary is breachable again from others

Ps: i just read some post

[hollow compass]

Yes, sadly this is true. People have no respect.

[tough pebble]

Ikr it grinds my gears so hard

[kindred fossil]

watch out of who you warp to

[noble citrus]

Apparently my friend accidentally glitch to this new area in live but she immediately got out because it doesn't feel right

[kindred fossil]

friend chains... 2!

[spark lance]

Sound like season of enchanment, isn't it?

[kindred fossil]

it is exactly

[random gull]

guess I'm avoiding live for a bit until sanctuary actually starts. I really don't want to find out how many of my friends are going there on purpose

[noble citrus]

I'm staying because of the two candle bun event lol

[spark lance]

Kai, same :v

[random gull]

I'll just buy some candles to make up for it when I go back

[dense holly]

So, it's probably been about a month and I have officially given up hope of being able to download beta 😔

[mighty estuary]

Don't be sad

[random gull]

5 days until the season is live so you can play it soon in a bug free environment!

[noble citrus]

I stay awake at night for the beta and still couldn't get it

[open spindle]

hopefully bug free

[noble citrus]

So don't be sad man

[random gull]

they're wiping access before each new season to ensure there are active beta players so you could get another chance

[noble citrus]

I hope they're going to introduce a new place but underwater

[random gull]

get ready for 15+ minute slowmode again when they wipe access again and everyone goes nuts trying to get in

[open spindle]

Some people i have befriend haven't come back on from the first few days of beta starting >:(

[amber umbra]

I hope they're going to introduce a new place but underwater
@noble citrus please dear god no, underwater levels in video games are the worst

[mighty estuary]

Not good

[noble citrus]

Oh my

[random gull]

Some people i have befriend haven't come back on from the first few days of beta starting >:(
@open spindle this is why they decided to wipe access for each season funny how the newbies got bored after only a few days though

[kindred fossil]

over time the hype dies out, hopefully

[noble citrus]

Because it just the same thing as live lol

[random gull]

yeah I feel like after a couple of rounds of access wipes it won't be chaos anymore. it'll probably be chaos at least 1 or 2 more times though

[open spindle]

they're wiping access before each new season to ensure there are active beta players so you could get another chance
@random gull i think there was so much hype because for many of the Android players it would be the first time for them

[noble citrus]

Wait so they're going to wipe out non-active beta players?

[open spindle]

They are going to access wipe everyone

[noble citrus]

Oh yeah I'm an Android player

[amber umbra]

Idk, people don’t seem to always understand that beta does not mean early access or that they won’t get everything for free. I hoooope it will calm down, but idk

[kindred fossil]

the first beta android wave was back in march, it wasn't that chaotic

[open spindle]

Thats because most Android players would still be exploring live.. like myself

[amber umbra]

Less people knew about the game, too. 100k server members

[kindred fossil]

? that was before android's live launch

[open spindle]

Yess exactly

[hollow bolt]

Less people knew about the game, too. 100k server members
@amber umbra
Plus the Chinese server

[kindred fossil]

not really, after the launch, those who joined android beta jumped ship

[open spindle]

Only people following for sky would know there would be a beta for Android

[prime surge]

Me get into beta 1st time:

Also me after some days: what to do here
@spark lance HHAHAH same !!

[spark lance]

What happened with the emo

[hollow bolt]

I kinda want that emo to be my pfp

[open spindle]

I made so many new friends during the first few days of beta which is a welcome change from the chinese servers i always get

[noble citrus]

Bruh some people in tge sky amino that are mostly android player complain about th ts price being so damn high

[open spindle]

Amino eh

[noble citrus]

And i sit here like

Yeah there's a sky amino

[random gull]

I'm fine with the TS price being so high despite needing to buy it myself better than not getting it at all because I didn't know about sky until January

[open spindle]

There is an amino for everything

[spark lance]

What's amino?

[kindred fossil]

your long lost twin, amio

[open spindle]

I think sky's prices are much more reasonable than most games

[spark lance]

Not a native English speaker srry

[hollow bolt]

Are you talking acids or a person? O.o

[random gull]

according to google amino is a chat app

[open spindle]

It is an app

[spark lance]

Oh I see
... Lol I thought amino acid

[noble citrus]

I'm an Android player and yes at first i complain about it too, but after sometime i realized about the reason behind it and it make me understand

[open spindle]

I would call it more of a social platform app

[hollow bolt]

⭕️ 👁 C

[noble citrus]

They even curse at me when i try to explain to them ;-;

Bruh respect the drip, Karen

[dry pivot]

But yeah the fact you’d rather change your device language is telling
@dreamy moth sorry for cold ping but just FYI: on iOS 13 you can change app languages without changing the device language

[open spindle]

One season pass for the whole season that lasts a few months.. some games are seasons is per month at the same/higher price

[bright portal]

toxicity is everywhere, you can't cure them all

[hollow bolt]

I remember when Sky was very quiet and empty. I guess beta is a throwback, but I’m not used to the peace anymore lol

[noble citrus]

Sorry for the toxic android player

[bright portal]

also i just finished my exam with 5 seconds left on the clock back to sky

[open spindle]

The general discussion moves too fast for me to keep up

[steep ferry]

so the spirit for the 1st anniversary hat, there is a blue wisp in live which indicates it should be there but when you go to it nobody appears?

[amber umbra]

It is not ready in live, yet.

[bright portal]

it's not released in live yet

[inland halo]

@open spindle this is why they decided to wipe access for each season funny how the newbies got bored after only a few days though :aaaahhEyes:
@random gull I try to play few times a week. It's hard to follow 2 games.

[steep ferry]

oh i see, it's just a placeholder?

[open spindle]

There is the same thing in the beta office

[hollow bolt]

Yes

[bright portal]

yes ^^

[steep ferry]

coolio tyty

[inland halo]

But I like beta. Because it's way less crowded.

[spark lance]

[open spindle]

Depends what you're gonna do.. 8 player door

[noble citrus]

The lvl 1 bow emote is for "thank you!"
And the lvl 3 is "your welcome"

[inland halo]

Depends what you're gonna do.. 8 player door
@open spindle mission impossible

[bright portal]

litterally mission impossible , im always stuck at 7 players even during reset hour

[hollow bolt]

@inland halo Me too! Even though I’d like to talk about other Sky related things, we’re limited to beta topics 🤗

[noble citrus]

Haha when i try to glict using piggyback emote the candle is not there

[random gull]

you can OOB past the 8 player door if you don't want any candles

[noble citrus]

So sky basically say sike

[amber umbra]

I think they changed it recently so the 8 player puzzle activates with 7 ppl in beta? Or was that just a rumor?

[hard knoll]

Okay but again who got manta cape?

[random gull]

it's activated with only 6 for me in live. it's also randomly activated without any of us lighting it so idk if glitch

[hard knoll]

Oh hi there kai on sky

[spark lance]

I got handpan yesterday

[amber umbra]

Okay but again who got manta cape?
@hard knoll i don’t have it yet, but I will by next week

[hard knoll]

Congrats amio!

[amber umbra]

Oh hi there kai on sky
@hard knoll haiiiii

[noble citrus]

The only thing ppl hyped up from this season is the manta cape

[bright portal]

it's a server merging bug , sometimes u merge with people who is already on top

[hard knoll]

Will someone get it before the season start? I badly need the icon before the season start on live

Kai on sky i re updated the prices chart again

[bright portal]

hii mei

[random gull]

I'll get handpan on Monday! won't get manta cape in beta but that's ok I'll just blind everyone in live with glow spells

[bright portal]

again thank you for the charts

[hard knoll]

Hi puffers!

[amber umbra]

Kai on sky i re updated the prices chart again
@hard knoll you are the best 💜

[open spindle]

I have a theroy for having 7 people.. because the door to get through the gate is 2 player, so people waiting with 7 players are unlikely to merge servers with them

So the only way to get 8 players is if someone oob's the door or they just enter the room waay before the other player

[noble citrus]

Oh so you are mei who create the chart? Nice job!

[hard knoll]

Hahaha treble: use glow spell with manta suit and jelly hair epic

[bright portal]

god I don't wanna blind myself 😂

[hard knoll]

@ 𝔸𝕟𝕚_ℂ𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕤#9466 : thamks

[random gull]

Hahaha treble: use glow spell with manta suit and jelly hair epic
@hard knoll that's my plan

[open spindle]

Thats why we get them shades

[modest veldt]

ill do it if you wont

[random gull]

just put the sunglasses mask on first

[hollow bolt]

Put your brightness all the way up too

[bright portal]

Put your brightness all the way up too
like every parents at the age of 40+

[hollow bolt]

HAHAAH

[hard knoll]

Okay guys whoever think they getting the cape before live season starts please ping or let me know ill be glad if i could be provided with the lighted icon

[spark lance]

can somebody pls show me the rallying thrill seeker's hair in different angles/profiles?

[amber umbra]

Mei, I thiiiiink someone posted a video in #beta-screenshots-videos to show the regeneration animation on the manta cape. Not sure how they got it but i think it was Pakka#3178 (didn’t want to ping, just want to give you a name to search)

[hard knoll]

Ohhh

Let me quickly see!

[warm badger]

@spark lance still need the pictures?

[spark lance]

yup

[warm badger]

I gotchu

[spark lance]

thx dude

[hard knoll]

Sad I think they didnt get the cape just emptied their cape and then ran to the closet and got the preview kai
Also why so many kais

[hollow bolt]

I was literally typing to ask the same question

[amber umbra]

Ooooo I seeee, sorry Mei

And lolol it was a thing a few days ago, we created a legion of Kais

[random gull]

idk it started as a joke cuz of me and @amber umbra and a bunch of people changed their name

[amber umbra]

[noble citrus]

I change mine then

[random gull]

I do think there's a few besides us two that are actually named Kai though

[hard knoll]

kai

[amber umbra]

[hard knoll]

[tough pebble]

I got a Kai at our krill server now whenever I see the two Kai's here I just think of that Kai my kai

[amber umbra]

Ahahahaa @hard knoll

[hard knoll]

Ill change it soon just wanna be part of the joke

Again whoever gets manta cape before season if youre keeping an eye pls ping me or dm me you can quote my message for mods not to get mad

[random gull]

[amber umbra]

Love it the legion of Kais in beta is being built once again

Again whoever gets manta cape before season if youre keeping an eye pls ping me or dm me you can quote my message for mods not to get mad
@hard knoll will do

[hollow bolt]

Imagine if TGC staff members were made into NPC’s around Sky :O!

They could be companions for beta quest givers or something 👀

[kindred fossil]

my extremely close friend who quit sky was named kai

[pallid badger]

what does that mean, kai?

[amber umbra]

Imagine if TGC staff members were made into NPC’s around Sky :O!

They could be companions for beta quest givers or something 👀
@hollow bolt they kind of are, as spirits in the office o:

[sterile plinth]

[hard knoll]

Two mods time to

[amber umbra]

Which Kai, boon?

[hollow bolt]

@amber umbra I’m hoping for something with a bit of pizzazz 👀

[warm badger]

I hope they improve the manta cape like they did butterfly cape

Woah, guys, hear me out

Spirit manta cape

[amber umbra]

Yeah I would love a cosmic manta cape

[spark lance]

Krill cape when?

[hard knoll]

Tbh if they make butterfly cape into the ultimate that would be proper as well i think they might not have time to redo a design idk so moving the butterfly cape

[noble citrus]

I hope it would change in the vault

Change color i mean

[hard knoll]

Like they did during rythm with the hair and piano

[noble citrus]

To the prairie manta to the vault manta

[hollow bolt]

I would love to drape a person on my back like a cape. They can hold onto my neck with their feet and flap their arms in the breeze

[hard knoll]

But then the butterfly spirit would be deprived

That sounds like honking while piggyback level 2

[mighty estuary]

Butterfly spirit will be the quest giver

[random gull]

if butterfly becomes the ultimate I will buy an insane amount of candles in live on day one

[hard knoll]

It’s really not to criticize i like both capes but the butterfly cape does feel better as an ultimate

[random gull]

probably because it's more detailed? manta cape is shiny though

[hard knoll]

Ill try to feedback that but i might just be too late

[amber umbra]

You can always try Mei

[kindred fossil]

they did make adjustments to the turban whilst enchantment was live, so

[spark lance]

Wtb a tameable pet (like your pet butterfly who sits on your shoulder all the time) as an ultimate reward

[kindred fossil]

no thanks

[mighty estuary]

[random gull]

#beta-announcements did say that the build we're on right now is a candidate for live! so it's not guaranteed but the devs are pretty satisfied with where we're at

[noble citrus]

Idk but i think a lot of people suggest the manta cape and the tgc like well of a lot of ppl want a manta cape so much why not make it an ultimate gift?

[hard knoll]

Yes obviously because better details the butterfly cape before the change was just uhhhhh kinda like the manta cape itself so there was no point but aft the change my opinions shifted

They did but they also provided difficult designs i believe so maybe the devs are a bit torn apart about what to do or maybe they just are satisfied

[mighty estuary]

Maybe making the manta cape bigger

[random gull]

can anyone actually see the "stars" on the back of the manta cape? are they a different shape at all

[strong canopy]

they are the same as on default and most capes

[noble citrus]

Or can change color to the cosmic one at the vault

[hard knoll]

Yes i believe at least bigger would have been better

[mighty estuary]

I think they make the upper cape shorter to make the tail longer

[hard knoll]

Cosmic one feels more vault-y as you said, the season is based around prairie

[kindred fossil]

the cape itself is already short enough

[random gull]

the cape is the size it is because it's just a new design on the same cape rig every other cape uses. butterfly is on the same rig too. so the "tail" of the manta is part of the cape rig

[hard knoll]

Also i believe its a bit hard for the devs to play around the manta cape because it’s being hard to balance it

[blazing sail]

Lol people broke through in live and I’m not even the least bit surprised.

[random gull]

imagine trying to create a brand new rig for a cape though. longer manta cape would be cool but rigging it sounds difficult

[spark lance]

I hear once they break through the first portal there is a second wind wall lol

[blazing sail]

Yeah but they got all the way to sanctuary

[spark lance]

Oh boy 😬

[random gull]

windwalls can't stop everyone I feel like the double wind wall should have been a clue that they're not allowed there yet though

[autumn heath]

My friends rocketed and we flew out of bounds

[spark lance]

Same situation with the ark last season. People just like breaking things 🤣

[autumn heath]

Then I saw a random star out of the tower

mindblown

Bunch of particles hah

[random gull]

I mean I like OOB too but there are dev acceptable OOBs and ones they'd rather people not get into

[autumn heath]

Ye

[strong canopy]

what is the pb there? as long as you dont spoil ppl

[autumn heath]

Pb???

[kindred fossil]

i did make it past the barrier for fun, just to watch the dozens of groups trying to get past the wind wall (which i doubt once going past it, it won't take you to sanctuary)

[strong canopy]

problem

[autumn heath]

I just got a windwall in telekinesis spirit area

[velvet eagle]

I’m surprised people are even trying to get in. I mean, I would think they would want the new season stuff to be a surprise instead of doing stuff they aren’t supposed to.

[autumn heath]

( ；∀；)

Wait what are you guys talking about

[random gull]

the problem isn't "spoilers" it's blatantly disrespecting the devs wishes.

[chrome sandal]

the problem is that it’s not supposed to be accessible until july 13th. It’s not how the devs want the area to be accessed.

[autumn heath]

(・へ・)

[strong canopy]

whats the difference with the elders

[autumn heath]

H a i r

[strong canopy]

and where did the dev say its forbidden

[autumn heath]

B o d i

[hard knoll]

Sigh

[chrome sandal]

i feel like im talking to a wall with you.

[spark lance]

I wasn’t in beta for enchantment but in live I teleported to a friend and they were in ark before it was accessible. I felt spoiled for sure.

[slim kayak]

This is like pre ark season all over again, except more deliberate

[amber umbra]

The elders OOB is different — it is a dev-approved OOB. This is not.

[autumn heath]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT, WHAT WINDWALL, WHAT SPOILERS AND WHAT ACCESSIBLE.

[amber hornet]

I think if they change the wedges, make it a little more bigger and add some details it will be worth

[strong canopy]

nah i'm listening to you police i just dont get it. its in the game, we can get there, so why shouldnt we?

[velvet eagle]

The devs don’t want you to go into the new season stuff yet. There’s a reason that there is a windwall there.

Some OOBs the devs are fine with. This isn’t okay.

[random gull]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT, WHAT WINDWALL, WHAT SPOILERS AND WHAT ACCESSIBLE.
@autumn heath are you in sky beta or live version? you might be in the wrong channel if you play live version

[autumn heath]

Both

[chrome sandal]

headache emote

[kindred fossil]

lol

[autumn heath]

hAH

[random gull]

well then the windwall is in live version. everyone's talking about live players sneaking into sanctuary because it's not available in live yet

[amber umbra]

We‘re not policing, we‘re just saying it is not the intended purpose of the devs. Do what you want, but know that it will potentially spoil people‘s experiences, including your own.

[autumn heath]

I just came to this channel

WAIT WHAT BUT THE DEVS WOULDN'T WANT THAT

[strong canopy]

we have fun going there and strugglng, we dont harm anyone, it doesnt do anything to the devs, i really dont get the issue

i'm a beta tester, ik the place already, i'm just having fun experimentating

[hard knoll]

If this gets too controversial guys, let’s remember to not strain too much, I do get the feel too and feel sad about that but we cannot force our opinions on people

[velvet eagle]

People are sneaking into the sanctuary. That’s what they don’t want. It’s not even there for a teaser, I think. Isn’t it there for stuff to load ahead of time?

If I’m wrong, so be it.

[autumn heath]

But the beta players access it first till the live does, why try to sneak :'_

[spark lance]

The devs know people will try and get in. But they have clearly tried to make it difficult so people don’t get spoiled before the season begins.

[autumn heath]

Only beTa peoPle are spOiled ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[fleet bronze]

guys, does linking your main account from the original app to your Beta account of the Beta app work? like can you link all your progress to your Beta version of the app? and if it does, does it affect your friends in anyway?

[strong canopy]

the game is meant to be played, and no one is harmed here. those who get in wanted to. you literally just have fun going there lol

[random gull]

!betalive

[gilded parrot]

Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.

[worn field]

this is an interesting discussion but while y'all discuss, remember to be respectful of each other, even if you disagree

[orchid nexus]

don't worry yourselves about it. people will try to glitch. the only important thing here really is to keep the new areas from being spoiled outside beta channels

[spark lance]

Like with the ark, people got in and the ark looked terrible because it wasnt finished yet in the live build.

[fleet bronze]

ah i c, ty

[strong canopy]

kevin i linked both live and beta to the same google account, its like 2 diffrents apps 🙂

[autumn heath]

It is

[hard knoll]

Let’s all chill and gib hugs to each other

[velvet eagle]

Subject change?
What’re your favorite upcoming cosmetics?

[random gull]

h a n d p a n

[spark lance]

Krill mask

[strong canopy]

i love the manta suit!

[amber umbra]

Hmmm, butterfly cape and sunglasses mask

[autumn heath]

II WANT THAT ARMY SUIT PANTS

[amber umbra]

Those are my favs

[random gull]

also jelly hair

[spark lance]

The hand pan sounds great 😁 wish there was more notes to play with though!

[velvet eagle]

I adore the butterfly cape, and while I love the manta cape’s design, it’s just too small for me.

[hard knoll]

Pants and butterfly cape, the pants are absolute hot valley elder material

[kindred fossil]

jellyfish call

[velvet eagle]

Also, the pants. I love them so much.

[autumn heath]

I'M TALL AS FREAK SO I CAN BE AN ARMY MEMBER

I want dem army panTs

[fleet bronze]

yea but i cant link the progress, so thats normal right Morue?

[velvet eagle]

I think there’s a new stance, and if so, I’m looking forward to it.

[slim kayak]

I like the hair from the spirit with the shell cape!

[autumn heath]

Yes, it's the weird stance

[hollow compass]

@fleet bronze someone already replied to you

[kindred fossil]

yep, shy/timid stance

[hard knoll]

I feel like a kpop star when i wear the pants tbh

[velvet eagle]

The pants look amazing, I need them in my life-

[spark lance]

i want the jellyfish hair so bad

[autumn heath]

I feel like a war member with the black pants

[random gull]

Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
@fleet bronze from skybot ^^

[amber umbra]

Kevin, beta and live are completely separate. You can link beta progress across devices with the same account. But cannot link live to beta.

[velvet eagle]

Wrong Kevin-

[amber umbra]

I know ;-; discord is mean

I tried like 5 times to get the right Kevin

[autumn heath]

HmmmmmmmmMM

[random gull]

there's too many Kevins too 🤣

[velvet eagle]

I like the pink shell cape in certain lighting, although I can’t say the same for the Hawaiian one.

[hard knoll]

Sometimes discord do be like: nah you cant scroll past those names anymore

[fleet bronze]

oh ok i get it now

[spark lance]

We test out the season before it goes to live. We give feedback about what we experience and then we get to enjoy a good season in live 👌

[autumn heath]

I've got nothing to say, I'mma report a wall bug, bye!

[fleet bronze]

ty o/

[hard knoll]

But have we all noticed the gradient of the butterfly cape in light

[velvet eagle]

Yes. It’s so nice.

[amber umbra]

That butterfly cape

[hard knoll]

It is epic

[spark lance]

The updated butterfly cape is so perfect. Very happy with it

[autumn heath]

They changed the trim if anyone noticed. O0O

[velvet eagle]

Yes.

I’m a little disappointed on the manta cape, but maybe they’ll mess around and fix that. It’s just short.

[hard knoll]

The only thing i kinda uh sjdoododosodb is that the gradient cannot be seen in dark places

[amber umbra]

Yep! It looks a lot less like a pancake now

[hollow compass]

You’ll never see it comin’...

[velvet eagle]

I still call it the pancake cape for fun-

[bright portal]

not much has changed for the manta cape tho, hope they still consider to improve it

[hard knoll]

Take care everyone! Off to charting life

[velvet eagle]

Have fun!

[bright portal]

cyu mei

[random gull]

I'll be honest in that orange is one of my least favorite colors and it's kinda a sky game theme color I love butterfly cape shape and the new design but orange is definitely not a color I personally enjoy. proceeds to wear only butterfly cape anyways

[bright portal]

butterfly cape + manta suit it's adorable for short skykids

[velvet eagle]

I like orange, but I will not do primarily yellow stuff.

[spark lance]

Orange isn’t my favorite either. But for some reason I really like the cape so kudos to them for making me wear orange 🤣

[velvet eagle]

Yeah.

[bright portal]

well the season revolves around summer theme so they picked on warm colours

[grim vessel]

Does any one else still not have the gift from the QUEST GIVER!!!

[velvet eagle]

I’m not a fan of bright colors purely because of my sensitive eyes, but the butterfly cape.

[random gull]

I hope butterfly cape shape comes back in a future season in blue or aqua

[strong canopy]

if you're talking about the ultimate gift and want a compensation, it likely wont happend @grim vessel

[bright portal]

maybe a fairy cape? like blueish purple

[amber hornet]

Purple, just purple.

[spark lance]

Purple/blue combo would be heavenly lol

[random gull]

we definitely need more purple in sky

[grim vessel]

Oof! So no manta cape for me😅. Thx you @strong canopy

[strong canopy]

you can get in in live maybe?

[bright portal]

aw man i think another cool addition to the game is to have flying trail effect when wearing certain special capes , like more sparklier or even a tint of different colour

[velvet eagle]

We need more dark colors in sky. Indigos/purples would be amazing, especially with lighter trims or something like that.

[grim vessel]

Yea. I’ll get it in live

[bright portal]

like manta cape when flying gives off sparkles or something , would be cool

[lofty shadow]

Wear the pants and the bow tie then bam! you're a waiter

[velvet eagle]

The snazziest waiter to exist.

[bright portal]

Ware the pants and the bow tie then bam! you're a waiter
go capeless as well then wait at the office entrance for customers

[random gull]

oh I wonder how bowtie looks with rhythm pants

[velvet eagle]

That’ll probably look nice-

[lofty shadow]

"Would you like some crab soup"

[spark lance]

I find the blue top with the rhythm pants clashes with things lol

[bright portal]

limited choice of cape colours i guess since it has to match with blue

[random gull]

I like blue so I was super happy to have so much blue in rhythm

[amber umbra]

I‘m late to the party, but I would ADORE more purple and dark colors. Gonna drop that in live feedback, thanks for the idea y‘all

[spark lance]

Rhythm was the season of good pants 👖

[open spindle]

Typical cool guy outfit-> valley elder hair, rhythm pants, no mask, white/ rhythm cape

This season we have the onesie

Very cute

[kindred fossil]

cool guy
you meant ✨ikemen✨

[autumn heath]

I joined in Rythym, and was such and idiot and didn't open the Rythym constellation ( ；∀；)

Hope you don't mind I'm joining the party haha

[amber umbra]

Welcome to the party — we have crab cake 🎂

I want to add, btw, Rhythm pants are by far my favorites, but I am digging having new pants this season. I needed some change in my life

[random gull]

I joined in rhythm because my friend graciously let me borrow their ipad for literal months (also I am never going back to a tablet, my hands are too small to play sky on that big device)

[kindred fossil]

small hands gang

[amber umbra]

Soooo I love playing on my tablet, I use a PS4 controller and Bluetooth keyboard and prop my iPad up, and it‘s like playing a console.
Admittedly though, the controls are wonky on the controller and I‘m building a long feedback message about that

I have small hands as well, but I recently got an iPad for work reasons and now I almost exclusively use it when I play sky and beta. Much bigger screen

[noble citrus]

I'm happy there's more orange cosmetics they're my fav color

[random gull]

I'm both hyped and scared of sky on switch because of that. I tried with my ps4 controller and kept smacking into walls (more so than usual)

[amber umbra]

Awww, it‘s honestly about practice. I fly better with the controller now than in two handed mode on my phone. but as mentioned before, wonky controls make it harder in other ways for me

[random gull]

how does typing work? do you just pick up your ipad to chat?

[amber umbra]

I use a Bluetooth keyboard

[random gull]

oh fancy!

actually that might help me with typos on my phone o.o ima fish my bluetooth keyboard and try it out tonight

[amber umbra]

Haha, thanks I needed it for work but now I barely use it for anything but sky and beta

Yay! Good luck! I love using my keyboard, it is sooo helpful in game

AnYwAyS, sorry for straying from beta topics y‘all

[proper helm]

Candles today??

[amber umbra]

Check out #beta-screenshots-videos, @random gull posts them daily

[random gull]

I always post candle locations around 7:30 am eastern time 🙂

[tender oasis]

And how was it for you guys to switch to one hand mode in portrait mode after playing with 2 hand mode? 😃

[random gull]

about 4.5 hours after reset iirc

[amber umbra]

And how was it for you guys to switch to one hand mode in portrait mode after playing with 2 hand mode? 😃
@tender oasis on my phone? Impossible xD
But on my iPad, it is actually much better because i can still play two handed in portrait

And I am in loooove with portrait mode

I wrote the staff a love letter about it in beta feedback when I first got my iPad, hahaha

[worn field]

i enjoy playing in portrait mode on my phone, tho i'm sure it's not for everyone.
i switch between portrait and landscape depending on how i'm feeling

[tender oasis]

My friends are struggling with one hand mode on phones, while i was unable to get used to the 2 hand on ipad 😂 i tried so hard, and my brain and hands said no every time. So i was curious how others handled the change from 2 to 1.

[amber umbra]

Haha, to each their own! We all have our different play styles and that seems to be helpful for TGC since we represent a good spectrum of live players

[random gull]

do we know if portrait mode will be coming to all devices eventually? (the screenshots )

I actually can kinda fake portrait by opening multi window but it warps everything and I can't take in game screenshots

[amber umbra]

You can try digging around for things ktjn has said, but I don‘t really know the answer. I think they are working on Android, but I imagine that is a large task given the variety of types of phones and devices run on Android

[proper helm]

What's up with the Kai they/them name?

[amber umbra]

That‘s my name and pronouns, and same with @random gull

[random gull]

yeah android always gets things waaaaay later because of device variety. (but the device variety is why I like android)

[proper helm]

yeah android always gets things waaaaay later because of device variety. (but the device variety is why I like android)
@random gull yes.. and Android is far more customisable too

[random gull]

oh yeah XD Kai is literally the first 3 letters of my legal name and makes for a nice non-gendered nickname 🙂 I use they/them pronouns so I added that for clarity when people refer to me in chat

[proper helm]

😊 😊

[amber umbra]

We all have our respective devices we love that we use to find bugs and make the live experience better

[proper helm]

Kai.. hmm Kaitlyn?? @random gull

[random gull]

it's a secret

[amber umbra]

Please don‘t ask for real names here

[noble citrus]

Guys can you give someone a n advanture pass even if they already have one?

[spark lance]

I don't think so

[amber umbra]

We are the legion of Kais

And I don‘t think so

[random gull]

no you can only give someone who doesn't have one a pass. and you can't give anyone a pass until the season starts

[amber umbra]

Anyways, I gotta go feed my hungry kitty now Bai bai y‘all!

lots of kais lol
@kindred fossil Darkai - Darkrai

[half furnace]

Umm I need to ask a thing

I got into Sanctuary islands

But I am not beta......

[kindred fossil]

did you warp to a friend without knowing?

[quick oriole]

Seems to be another ark situation

[kindred fossil]

yes, lots of rowdy bois are glitching in

[tender oasis]

Happened to me too in live i wanted to say hi to a friend and poof sanctuary 😂 nobody’s safe from spoilers.

[pliant bramble]

i only managed to get past the one barrier are people managing to get past the wind wall there?

[kindred fossil]

i have no idea

[worn field]

apparently yes

[pliant bramble]

really is a second ark situation this community is determined, thats for sure

[quick oriole]

I have an idea since it sounds exactly like what happened with the forgotten ark map before it was officially opened, best not to discuss here though

[kindred fossil]

i do too, i'm only keeping my mouth shut

[hard knoll]

4 kai

[kindred fossil]

best to wait until its live for the best experience!

[hard knoll]

Lol aron same

[drifting siren]

Hello, when can I get the beta? I am on IOS

[modest veldt]

beta invites arent being sent out right now! we dont know when theyll release next
#beta-faq

[drifting siren]

Oh ok

[spark lance]

(Since I was sent here🙄) did y'all devs fix the crashing in sanctuary islands?

[half furnace]

I was trying to

I thought I can’t get through wind wall

But it pushed me in by accident

Xd

[random gull]

You were sent here because sanctuary isn't available on live until the 13th. If it's crashing on live is because it's not supposed to be accessed. Idk about crashing in beta because I never had that problem on my device but since I haven't seen beta testers talking about that since the latest strong of updates, I'll assume it was fixed.

[noble citrus]

I thought it was 12th june

I mean july

[random gull]

Whatever day Monday is

[modest veldt]

13 of july!

[random gull]

Ok I was right then :) but that's in pacific time so it might be different in other time zones

Idk if they said a specific time that it'll be released on Monday. I'm only 3 hours off from them so I assume I'll be able to access it Monday my time

[modest veldt]

nah, the number of the day doesnt change!

[kindred fossil]

yeah

[tough pebble]

I just hope some players understand that sanctuary island isn't available yet and couldn't be accessed, I've seen so many screenshots and I've seen so many warnings

[random gull]

The number of days doesn't change but the date/ time it is out will be different for different time zones because we aren't all on existing exactly the same day/ time

[modest veldt]

ahhh ok!

[tough pebble]

I just like to imagine that they're kids too excited to wait to go to a summer vacation at a beach

[noble citrus]

Wait hold on how many days left for you guys?

[tough pebble]

5

Wait how do you report beta spoilers in #screenshots-and-videos again?

I thought there's a command for that

[south owl]

I saw few people get to Sanctuary Island in live version

[carmine tapir]

I’ve only seen one person on the otherside

[random gull]

I just thought of something but imagine if the switch release happens the day sanctuary opens. so much chaos (like android and enchantment)

[south owl]

It's just 5 days they gotta calm down

[random gull]

that's why I just said imagine. it would be hilarious but Summer lasts until like September so we got time

[modest veldt]

i think itll be funny if they announce it coming soon and release switch a few minutes later

[random gull]

wouldn't be the first time that happened I don't even remember what the update was but I vividly remember Ktjn saying "soon" (no context) and like 5 min later the update arrived

[noble citrus]

Bro this guys in the screenshot channel

[random gull]

welp regardless of when I plan on kidnapping er adopting all the switch moths

[noble citrus]

I told them to take their pictures down

[random gull]

I forgot the text shortcut for crossing out text

[noble citrus]

And then they're try to reason with me like you can see it inside the barrier

[kindred fossil]

just report to the mods, move on

[noble citrus]

How do i do it?

[hollow compass]

@noble citrus there is no need to live comment here what is happening in another channel on the server

[noble citrus]

Oh okay

[random gull]

I had the right button then just wrong symbol oops

[tough pebble]

Bruh keeping a lookout for these spoilers is a hassle just to protect the others from getting spoiled

there's a LOT of beta bugs that don't make it to live. Beta is buggy like that. But also you were sent here because that area is not accessible in live and won't be until Monday. People ask if beta things will happen in the future in live a lot and they get asked here

[pallid badger]

@south tendon sorry but asking for and offering trades is against server rules. Please edit or remove your post.

[empty inlet]

yes that's soliciting and offering currency

[wise finch]

Even in beta soliciting for hearts is not allowed

[strong canopy]

understandable. they dont want to deal with possible scammers

@strong canopy accepting trade requests is part of that rule too.

[mortal nova]

The plan is to develop Sky for PC but I don't have any details other than it's a goal of ours. We're currently working on Switch so it won't be any time soon.
@vapid briar must develop for pc

[spark lance]

[rustic imp]

Please don’t ping the devs unless it’s an emergency.

[spark lance]

I’ll be so happy the day sky releases on switch lol

[tough pebble]

Same

But not for me but for my Aussie friends

[strong canopy]

does anyone know if it's technically possible for it to be cross platform?

[turbid bear]

Why for your Aussie friends specifically?

[south tendon]

It would be nice to try it on the switch, but they mentioned it will be a longer before the pc once. So my friend that doesn’t have a phone or a switch will have to wait a little longer. But still can’t wait for that

[spark lance]

Switch is scheduled for summer 2020 so soon 🎊

[tough pebble]

Uh cuz they're the only friends I Know that have switches

[turbid bear]

Ohhh ok I thought that maybe you meant for a different reason (like one that would affect aussies only for some reason lol) sorry

No. Nintendo doesn't do that, apparently.

[noble citrus]

Would the sky in the switch will be free?

[tough pebble]

Maybe

Imagine getting switch capes for beta testing sky on switch if it were possible 🤣

[turbid bear]

Most likely I’d say

[tough pebble]

Mario bundles in switch shop

[turbid bear]

It would be a bit odd if it was free on mobile but paid on switch

It would be an outrage!1!1!1

Even if it were paid I’d still get it lol I can’t wait

[spark lance]

Guys?

How much does all of the cosmetics & etc. cost in the new season?

Will I be able to get all of them?

[kindred fossil]

there's been a few charts there and there, but since prices, whichever is pass/non-pass etc, is subject to change, it's best to wait until the season starts

[strong canopy]

its around 300 seasonal or less

[spark lance]

Thank you for info! Me and my friend are trying to know if we can get it all

[strong canopy]

knowing that you do 5 candles a day w/o the pass and 6 with pass, you can do your quick maths

[random gull]

if you buy a season pass and play enough then yes you will have enough time to get all the cosmetics! there's enough time in the season to give you some off days but don't take too many off days

[spark lance]

Thank you friends!

[hot pilot]

Thank you friends!

[fossil elm]

where‘s the sanctuary isle oob winged light located?

[velvet eagle]

How many candles would you have left over if you got the max amount of candles each day [with season pass] and got all of the cosmetics? My brain isn’t functioning, and this is the first season I’ll be playing from start to finish.

[serene goblet]

How many candles would you have left over if you got the max amount of candles each day [with season pass] and got all of the cosmetics? My brain isn’t functioning, and this is the first season I’ll be playing from start to finish.
@velvet eagle not much (it costs like 270 or smtg to complete the constellation)

[velvet eagle]

Alright, thanks.

[fossil elm]

wdym birb nest, i didnt mean the isle, i mean the 8th winged light in the isle

[hardy bobcat]

Does anyone have a picture of all the seasonal candle locations for today?

[serene goblet]

oh oops i thought you said the season of sanctuary @fossil elm

[fossil elm]

nono i mean the oob wl ^^‘

[hollow compass]

Didn't they move the oob wl, though?

[fossil elm]

what happened to it?

[hollow compass]

I seem to remember them moving it into a cave. But to be honest, the first days were a bit blurry, so I don't exactly recall all the exact positions of the wl. Clement did an excellent chart that you can find in screenshots.

[fossil elm]

okii

[rain silo]

Where is the beta bug android submission. Cant find it

[strong canopy]

the star is now behind the waterfall in the cave, it used to be behind the wall, OOB, but they moved it

oh seems like bug channels are under maintenance?

[potent pumice]

[twilit matrix]

Would there be a Nintendo switch beta?

[plush vine]

I've been sort of avoiding spoilers, but I happened to see a screenshot a while back of what looked like a butterfly cape.. but seems like that didn't make it in? Does anyone know anything about it? Just curious...

[velvet eagle]

The butterfly cape is for this upcoming season.

I don’t know if I can ping you, but there’s the answer.

[zinc dawn]

Does anybody know what the shop store at home is for ?

[plush vine]

I went to the beta page on the wiki but I didn't see it - just pink, floral and manta?

[lone halo]

there is a butterfly cape, yes

[plush vine]

I don't mean just , the manta cape is brilliant 😄

hm which spirit is it?

[velvet eagle]

I don’t think all cosmetics are added yet on the wiki.

[plush vine]

oooh ok thank you so much! I can't wait to see it 🙂 Well maybe I can

[hollow compass]

@zinc dawn The shop is empty in beta, but it Live you can pre-order the AP, candle packs etc.

[lusty light]

I think they’re referring to the tent that was at home for a day

[zinc dawn]

What is AP ? Sorry

[lusty light]

It got removed without any indication of what it was for

[hollow compass]

Oh, lol. Yeah, that shop is gone.

[zinc dawn]

So no more shop ? :0

[hollow compass]

AP= Adventure Pass, ie for the season

Well, there is the regular shop that has always been there...?

[gilded parrot]

Soliciting or offering adventure passes is against the rules in this server @scenic spruce. Please edit or remove your message.

[lusty light]

They could add the tent back but who knows a lot of things get added in beta that get removed or never go live

[hollow compass]

But meow, why are you asking about things that aren't in beta anymore? Are you not in beta yourself and just heard some rumours?

[zinc dawn]

I am in beta but I didn’t log in recently. Chill

[hollow compass]

Chill?

[scenic spruce]

I didn’t realize. Eeek.

[zinc dawn]

Okie All I ask was what that for.

[hollow compass]

I was just curious where you had heard about it. There are a lot of rumours out there and it's not fun if people get their expectations up because of them. (Sorry, I didn't understand the chill part of your comment.)

[zinc dawn]

I didn’t heard anywhere , I saw it in beta And wonder what it for but never got the chance to ask. Since I didn’t log in and update so I didn’t know it got removed. That’s all

??

[empty inlet]

rip your long post

[slow narwhal]

Haha

[mint valley]

Oof

[slow narwhal]

Wasnt long... Just that where the gate is is where you'd normally phase through.

You don't normally get to land on that patch of grass

So people playing around on it seems harmless?

Oh no I mean by going around the wall and landing there

[empty river]

sorry we cant talk about sanctuary normally for a while guys, but this is what happens when people want to spoil the fun for others

[slow narwhal]

I don't think you can glitch in that way

[empty river]

discussing how to do it shouldn't be talked about either 😉

[slow narwhal]

I'm thinking it's just hacks

shrug

[kindred fossil]

nah, back in enchantment it was confirmed no hacking was involved

just lots of chains

[slow narwhal]

Ah... Determined folk.

[kindred fossil]

it unfortunately spreads and spreads to unsuspecting players

[slow narwhal]

Jumping to a friend who's there yeah

Would help if it were made inaccessible to warp to like certain places are

[orchid nexus]

I hope everyone here is taking skybot's advice and not talking about how to get to the new area...

[slow narwhal]

I have no idea how to get there 😅

[orchid nexus]

you may only talk about beta content in beta channels. These channels are live channels that are just named beta

[kindred fossil]

🤐

[slow narwhal]

[mossy glacier]

Hi!
I'm from live and got to access that place by doing something I did not intend to do.
Since i got screenshots that I'd be happy to share, would it be okay if I post them in #beta-screenshots-videos or do I wait for live to open that place?

[empty river]

wait for live to open please

[mossy glacier]

Aightyy, will do
Thank you 😅

[minor robin]

tho, if you got in purely by accident, it might be good to file in a bug report so TGC can increase the gate security of possible new areas in future seasons

[signal mortar]

im happy that everyone is so excited to see the new area, but when i see the ss of people going there, i feel like a mom that tried very hard to hide a christmas present but it still got discovered

i hope not too many people get it spoiled by accident 😔

[regal plover]

I do understand the Spoiling thing ?

[eager torrent]

also, beta is completely separate from live. our game is different. so if you have something to report about the new season in live, just report it as a bug. us beta testers can't really do much 🤷‍♀️

edit: I said live too much 🤦‍♂️

[willow lion]

It’s kinda odd and funny seeing people in live trying to go beyond the wind wall while the trigger screen to transition to sanctuary is where the blue barrier is xD

[royal elm]

yeah hahahahaha

actually, it IS the blue barrier

[willow lion]

I guess... trigger screen with collision physics... if you cant go through it the game cant spawn you on the other end

[foggy marsh]

What happens when you complete the constellation with the facebook thing and stuff?

[kindred fossil]

you become the CEO of facebook

[foggy marsh]

pft

[vapid briar]

In addition to the barrier and wind wall, the level is currently disabled on live, it should be impossible to load that area without hacking, unless you warp to someone who hacked to get there.

[sly current]

At that rate that player should get a krill to the face

[vapid briar]

Unfortunately battling hacks is a bit of a Sisyphean endeavor. It's only a matter of time after implementing a fix that people find a way around it. It doesn't stop us from trying, but it's one of those tasks that's never truly complete.

[hollow compass]

I'm so sorry people are like this. I wish they would respect the hours of work put into this game by all of you. Sanctuary will be available in just a few days. It's worth the wait.

[flat willow]

[sly current]

It’s literally only a few days... not that long to wait.
People accidentally warping to these meanies causes even more problems too! They could get in trouble for.. basically a mistake. And it’s all the meanies fault.
Not that hard to not be a meanie..

[eager torrent]

I like being impatient because it strengthens my patience, which is why I don't bother going oob much unless it's a known hotspot like the valley one
😖♥️ I love it so much, I hope it stays forever

[foggy marsh]

some people call the hacking they do "modding the game" and its just- no-

[willow lion]

Ohhh... ktjn thanks for the extra clarifications of the measures implemented this time... 😅 been in some heated arguments with people when i explains them that it shouldn’t be possible to go there unless something has been done to the game and those people start calling me... mean names lol

[foggy marsh]

My friend made it to the new area yesterday and I dont think shes a hacker so,, I wonder if shes aware one of her friends is a hacker?

should i tell her

[vapid briar]

Yeah modding is acceptable modifications of game files, such as things like addons in the PC gaming ecosystem. Ethical hacking a thing and very important. Data-mining is a thing that's also pretty commonplace. The difference being whether it's permissible by the IP holder. Being 'first' to share ill begotten spoilers and access content early is usually done in bad faith.

[willow lion]

Agree

[strong canopy]

what do you think about datamining TS item prices?

once they are announced

[mossy glacier]

In addition to the barrier and wind wall, the level is currently disabled on live, it should be impossible to load that area without hacking, unless you warp to someone who hacked to get there.
Checked the area just now and could still access it. And could even still merge with other players.
I think they did the same thing I did lol to check the area

[vapid briar]

Even then things like datamining can be a very strained relationship between developer and miner. I had a friend who did that for a living on another title and their experiences on that side were interesting to say the least, but they worked with the studio on suppressing certain spoilers that were not okay to be leaked early because of missing incredibly important context.

[burnt finch]

any type of datamining is done with the intent to reveal info that is not intended to be seen. thus, it's usually not too good for developers

[mossy glacier]

Idk coding i just went there normally 😅

[cobalt hare]

In every game I've ever played there has always been datamining that is outside of dev control, isn't that just a fact of life?

[vapid briar]

It's what we call a calculated risk, we know certain things will get leaked, ideally we get ahead of those though so we can control the narrative.

[burnt finch]

it is, yes. doesn't make it morally right though @cobalt hare

[strong canopy]

i can understand how datamining can lead to leaking informations subject to changes, that may lead to community being salty when things are different than expected

[foggy marsh]

Is the type of hacking that... uh... that guy on youtube does admissible or no

[vapid briar]

The existence of a public beta means it's impossible to avoid, the tradeoff is incredibly valuable testing and feedback at an accelerated pace that we could not manage to get otherwise during internal testing.

[willow lion]

I am up for data mining as long as its for prematurely find exploits and report them especially those that can compromise the integrity of personal information, but again it only depends on the intentions of the person doing it.

[vapid briar]

considering their name and content is banned from the server, it's fairly obvious it's not permissible.

[foggy marsh]

Whoops, sorry

[vapid briar]

right, like... with a game that has combat mechanics, getting that info out early for the sake of balance and theorycrafting is not a big deal. Story spoilers, not so much.

Since we don't have combat systems, there's very little need to have early looks outside of feedback-driven processes.

[mossy glacier]

Where can i report how I'm still able to access that place in live?
(i kind of don't want to lol but considering the hard works of the devs, why not keep the works that aren't supposed to be seen yet)

[cobalt hare]

Idk I think people are just so hyped for the game that they always want to know what's coming next. I get that the surprise factor is really awesome, but so is waiting in anticipation

[lunar zealot]

#report-a-live-bug, but the report channels are under maintenance atm, @mossy glacier

[woven jacinth]

Almost a month fron when i got to be betatester but i still cant even download it. google is never this slow and i have lost my motivation to play sky anymore. Im just wasting my time waiting for something that will never happen

[mossy glacier]

Oh boi

[willow lion]

There will always be those that are just so excited to know and to find out they will do literally anything

[vapid briar]

soup, you can DM @hardy carbon so it's not publicly available. I'll take a look and send it over to the team to investigate.

[cobalt hare]

@willow lion that's why I say it's inevitable or even a fact of life

[vapid briar]

@woven jacinth there's this lovely thing called the Live version of the game you can still play. We're frustrated by the issues with google as well but there's not a lot we can do when they don't respond to our emails.

[woven jacinth]

I know. I just said ive lost my motivation to play the live version

[vapid briar]

taking breaks are good and healthy, I highly recommend it.

[mild panther]

Why does beta matters more for some players, idk

[willow lion]

Status

[vapid briar]

FOMO

and yes, status and bragging rights is certainly a thing.

[willow lion]

It just sounds cools to some to say “i am a beta tester”

[cobalt hare]

I only played beta enough to test and unlock all the areas lol. In live I grind everything every day tho

[mild panther]

it aint cool chief jk

[vapid briar]

While it's not the purpose or intent of beta, it's definitely a factor in one's desire to have beta access.

[woven jacinth]

I was jusy very excited and ready to help the game by reporting bugs in beta and to see new cool stuff too. But now im just a bit disapointed i still cant download it

not for the status

[mild panther]

also Ktjn, have a good vacay/rest and the rest of TGC staff members ty

[vapid briar]

Not meant to come down on you specifically, Hihi, but the amount of really nasty messaging I get on the daily about beta access from people is really disheartening.

[lunar zealot]

Beta is like my second “home” if I want to play more Sky but no necessary want to do live. So I may go bug hunting in beta randomly. Or test the new features

[willow lion]

You’d be amazed how many times i have seen people act so desperately to gain access to beta and then just leave after 2 or 3 weeks cuz it isn’t as exciting as they thought

[woven jacinth]

Im sorry that happens to you. I try not to be rude about this since i have seen its the googles fault and you cant reslly controll it

[flat willow]

And even if it was tgc fault being rude is always a no no in my book

[willow lion]

Back when the FB beta group was the only way to interact with devs and the more common way to share feedback there were those commenting non-stop about getting into beta and it was kinda .... ugh 😑

[mild panther]

new season coming on live soon, focus on that maybe?

[vapid briar]

rude I can generally deal with, it's the attempted emotional manipulation that gets me.

[terse swift]

I really hope more people join beta for the sake of testing new content and not just for status/bragging rights

Oh gosh that’s not ok

[cobalt hare]

Kids get salty and can be really mean. You always want what you can't have

[flat willow]

Kids get salty and can be really mean. You always want what you can't have
@cobalt hare i believe that nature doesnt go away with the years, just how you express it

[willow lion]

Kids get salty and can be really mean. You always want what you can't have
You know what’s the funny part? Most of the time those are adults acting like kids 😹😹

[vapid briar]

Luckily no death threats, but that's absolutely a thing that happens. Over beta.

[lunar zealot]

That’s absolutely crazy.

[terse swift]

I’m sorry those things happen to you it’s absolutely not ok!

[vapid briar]

And yeah, it's usually not stuff coming from children, it's full grown adults who do that sort of thing.

[rustic imp]

Aaa keep clicking the wrong emotes

[mossy glacier]

Report sent, hopefully they're enough to help

[flat willow]

@rustic imp so disrespectful

[rustic imp]

I’m sorry

[woven jacinth]

Adults can be childish too i agree

[cobalt hare]

@faint pier Yeah there's a certain level of maturity that goes into it. Sometimes I find my own tone slipping from what I want my tone to sound like. Sometimes criticism is too harsh. But there are certainly adults too who treat service workers poorly just to get what they want. Been there.

[flat willow]

I said it as a joke i didnt mean it like that sorry aaaa @rustic imp

[rustic imp]

I understood 🙂

[flat willow]

I though the would get it across

Oof

[tender oasis]

For a game ... unbelievable😓😰

[flat willow]

I hate sounding mean to people

[dapper swallow]

im just gonna say
ive been playing beta for too long today i forgot that beta wipe is coming soon

[terse swift]

sky Karens?

[woven jacinth]

I often try not to sound mean but sometimes i apparently do and i feel bad for that

[willow lion]

Loved that one @terse swift 😹😹

[vapid briar]

beta wipe won't be for a couple months, you're safe...

for now

[woven jacinth]

Rip

[dapper swallow]

[flat willow]

Usually around the end of the season at live right?@vapid briar

[cobalt hare]

Lol I was refreshing the link so many times when it was first announced. I felt crazy 😅🤪

I dunno if I can handle having to do that again

[willow lion]

Usually around the end of the season at live right?@vapid briar
@flat willow Not necessarily...

[rustic imp]

Yup beta wipes at every season. It’s in #beta-faq

[vapid briar]

When we're ready to test season-after-sanctuary, yes.

[flat willow]

I assumed so bc it was around when it happened this time

[mossy glacier]

All these beta wipes and google is still slow

[flat willow]

If my wording makes sense

[dapper swallow]

so pretty much we get to test two seasons?- or am i wrong

[lunar zealot]

I’m kind of looking forward to the next beta wave. There’s a high probability we’ll see a lot of beta moths around, and that’s always very fun

[willow lion]

About google... heard they are a bit short on staff in that department.....

[woven jacinth]

Well thats just great

[terse swift]

Live vets joining beta like: haha

[flat willow]

I mean the... Crown virus is rampant in the usa where google is set

[vapid briar]

The goal is to reset every season now, rather than let 6+ months go by without new waves. keeps the test group fresh and gives those who haven't tested before a chance to try it out, and give those who have more than put in their time a break.

[dapper swallow]

probs gonna rush to get in the first wave again then

[willow lion]

Had to do with an oopsie a few made leaking a early build of a game from ubisoft on stadia... 👀

[dapper swallow]

or just get into beta in general, once more

[vapid briar]

Everything moves a little slower in a post-pandemic world. Everyone does their best to take that into consideration.

[pliant bramble]

just out of curiosity, if someone has progress in beta and were to miss the next wave to take a break then come back through the wave after that, would their progress still be there?

[willow lion]

Progress remains

[flat willow]

@pliant bramble as long as youre linked somewhere, yes

[terse swift]

I honestly might sit out for the next wave, been testing for a long time and I do need a break, sometimes I can’t handle live + beta and I appreciate these waves a lot

[pliant bramble]

ok coolio! that's good to know

[vapid briar]

Progress remains unless we announce a progress wipe, which we'd do with considerably more advanced notice.

[rustic imp]

Progress remains until a progress wipe. The ones every season are just access wipes. You won’t be able to update if you missed the wave that’s it

[vapid briar]

Outside of a full blown progress wipe, the only way you'd lose progress is if you failed to link your game to a Game Center or Google account and uninstalled the game from your device.

[lunar zealot]

Last progress wipe was right before iOS global launch if I remember.

[willow lion]

Yep

Few months before. Lots of updates were released before game launch like it felt like the devs were panicking a bit lol

[terse swift]

remembered that like it was yesterday pff I’m glad it kept our friends tho

[lunar zealot]

Velo, don’t ask where I get my memory from
Yeah. That took some added effort to keep. Very appreciative that we got to keep that

[rigid stream]

Do anyone know how many candle it makes from the new island?

Is it 1 or 2?

[willow lion]

Do anyone know how many candle it makes from the new island?
@rigid stream around... 2.5...

[vapid briar]

@mossy glacier where'd you send the report? I'm not finding it.

[lunar zealot]

Vector: i remember it was one day > old Sky with old Eden and all > next day entire new game, enjoy

[mossy glacier]

@mossy glacier where'd you send the report? I'm not finding it.
I sent it in @hardy carbon

[cobalt hare]

@mossy glacier did you remember to confirm it at the end? I always forget and have to restart lol

[willow lion]

I should classify as a sky boomer xD when I joined we were running around on Journey character models lol

[mossy glacier]

Oh wait I MADE A MISTAKE SKSKSKSK IM SORRY

DONT ASK WHAT THE MISTAKE IS AHAHAHAHAHAH

[cobalt hare]

Now I'm curious lol

[dry summit]

Same

[mossy glacier]

Im really sorry, will fix it and resend the report
Sorry for the inconvenience

[vapid briar]

it's okay! i just could not for the life of me find it and didn't want it to go unnoticed.

[terse swift]

Kjtn rummaging through big piles of bug reports 2020 colorized

[iron cipher]

:v

[dry summit]

And it is very wholesome tho

[foggy marsh]

It's so weird seeing beta moths... like they look like newbies but you know most of them are experienced veteran sky players

[cobalt hare]

Haha I'm sure there's a search function @terse swift

[mossy glacier]

I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but how do you use @hardy carbon
Im a boomer at tech

[rustic imp]

Tap @hardy carbon and hit the message option. Just type what you want to send into the dms

[frail wraith]

So how did people get into the new season area ? Someone said that the reason I was able to get in was cause someone used hacks and I got in through a series of tp chains ?

[wide grail]

oh i asked this earlier, but is the movement from the latest build a little clunky for anyone else?

[dry summit]

It's so weird seeing beta moths... like they look like newbies but you know most of them are experienced veteran sky players
@foggy marsh It is the same mood because the moths in live and the "moths" in beta too Are giving me friendship candles 2 seconds after I light them

[cobalt hare]

Yeah one of my friends also said he made it into the new area, but I wasn't about to follow him

[rustic imp]

Marzi the new area is open in beta cause that is what is being tested. In live it is currently closed and will open with the season

[cobalt hare]

I got to see it on beta anyway

[hidden quarry]

those are buff moths

[mossy glacier]

Oh, if that's the case, then I've already sent the report

Sorry for panicking earlier, I thought it works like thatskybot cos someone said I'll have to hit end or something

[frail wraith]

I tp’d to my friend and didn’t know she was in there and ended up there by accident

[wide grail]

beta moths are truly the buff moths

[cosmic ivy]

When I first got into BETA Sky I acted like a moth because I just felt like one - it felt new, amazing, and I was too awe-struck to even begin to act like I knew what I was doing ♥︎♥︎

[cobalt hare]

Beta privilege

[frail wraith]

@rustic imp I mean to ask like how’s that possible ? That people are getting in live

[sinful nest]

Don't think anyone asked before, but do you guys think the new area is at least half the size of isle?

[wide grail]

i feel like the island is the size of isle actually

[rustic imp]

We don’t know and Someone already answered you it was hacks. We do not allow discussions on how to hack in this server

[cobalt hare]

Is isle the biggest area confirmed? I thought the battlefield in wasteland was bigger 🤔

[cosmic ivy]

That’s true, I never thought about how big Isle was in the first place,, maybe they’re the same size? Including the cloudy spaces of Isle of course, but not past the temple

[mossy glacier]

It's like wasteland but the sand is water

[frail wraith]

Sorry

[wide grail]

7.8/10, too much water

[final lance]

@cobalt hare i feel like ark is the largest hehe

[cosmic ivy]

Too much drowning blblblblbl

[cobalt hare]

Ohh, maybe @final lance

[dry summit]

Don't think anyone asked before, but do you guys think the new area is at least half the size of isle?
@sinful nest too serious question I still need an aswer for what happens if I'm putting a crab in a geyser, I rlly need to know if they will become boiled or not

[sinful nest]

Ark is pretty big but its more horizontal, this new area is big in a lot of ways

[cosmic ivy]

Please do not boil the crabs

[olive tide]

Hi guys! Hope your days are going well and things aren’t too stressful

[wide grail]

boiled crabs in geyser, grilled crab in wasteland

[willow lion]

Kinda wish there was a crab BBQ in the beach area.... 🤤

[sinful nest]

!friendsnotfood

[gilded parrot]

The topic of food naturally arises often... but please remember to treat all skykids and sky creatures with kindness and respect. And please keep the conversation out of the gross-out-for-fun zone!

[mossy glacier]

Ark: Sand
Devs: ok let's add a little water
Sanctuary: 🌊🌊

[cosmic ivy]

Noooo

[wide grail]

oh sorry about the food

[tough quest]

Oooh fun thats a new bot command

[cobalt hare]

Which area do you guys like more, ark or sanctuary? I have a tough time deciding

[willow lion]

Ark personally

[cosmic ivy]

I think they both have a different reason to enjoy them ♥︎♥︎

[wide grail]

ark is super cozy, and sanctuary is a great ppace to explore the nooks and crannies i can't decide

[olive tide]

If there was a boat in sanctuary it would be my favorite

[cobalt hare]

I think I like sanctuary more because of the cool caves under the mountain

[foggy marsh]

!friendsnotfood
but... aren't friends food?
or am i getting something wrong

[mossy glacier]

I love old ark cos the music is sad
Sanctuary is just fly and chill

[olive tide]

Honestly the musical aspects for both of them make them so exciting to me

I absolutely loved how the music changed in ark with each added light. My favorite part of the season, honestly

[pliant bramble]

the music for both ark and sanctuary are fantastic. i need the ost to be released, i'd buy it in a heartbeat

[cobalt hare]

I think sanctuary nails the summer theme, but ark tells a better story imo

[cosmic ivy]

Ark feels more calm and personal, where you can take you time and explore - it feels enclosed, safe - even though there is a krill they don’t harm you,, and by all accounts it’s an amazing calm vibe

Sanctuary is more lively - wandering around in awe of everything is a common occurrence. It feels high-energy, and very excited - but in the type of way that you would enjoy hiking around with your friends ♥︎♥︎

[foggy marsh]

@foggy marsh
OH
I CLICKED ON MY USERNAME THEN SENT IT IM SORRY

[dry summit]

but... aren't friends food?
or am i getting something wrong
@foggy marsh there is literally a grill crab in gw

[wide grail]

yess, i love the oboe as the main instrument in sanctuary, reminds me of Abzu's soundtrack (which a tgc member composed i believe!)

[tough quest]

Imagine an oboe in game instrument

[cosmic ivy]

Oboe is such an amazing instrument ♥︎♥︎♥︎

[olive tide]

I WOULD LOVE AN OBOE IN GAME

[mossy glacier]

there's no krill in Sanctuary which makes Ark 10× better

[cosmic ivy]

I named the Ark krill “Paul” ♥︎

[wide grail]

oboes can be derpy doot doot sometimes tho

[cosmic ivy]

I’m on a quest to name all the krill ✨

[dry summit]

It is first time when I hear of this "oboe" instrument...

[sinful nest]

Questgivers going to be chilling in both areas forever alone

[olive tide]

Band/orchestra kids unite over sky music

[dry summit]

It is first time when I hear of this "oboe" instrument...
First time I read "oboy"

[tough quest]

I mean alternatively to in game oboe is bagpipes

[cosmic ivy]

I’m a chorus kid but we’ve had band accompany us so much that I just know

Imagine a moth with bagpipes

How chaotic would that be

[olive tide]

oboes can be derpy doot doot sometimes tho
@wide grail if we’re talking derpy doot doot then how about a kazoo

[mossy glacier]

"The Wandering Sore Eyes"
"Bouncy Baby Boi"
"Party Shrimp"

I’m on a quest to name all the krill ✨

[pliant bramble]

i want a kazoo

[wide grail]

i'd like to think that the oboe represents the refreshing feeling and renewal that a vacation brings, since the oboe can cut through an orchestra with ease

[tough quest]

Piccolo also cuts through hehe

[olive tide]

NO

[cosmic ivy]

that’s very very true ♥︎♥︎

[dry summit]

i want a kazoo
@pliant bramble kazoo-kid flashbacks

[cosmic ivy]

Ark Krill - Paul
Shipwreck Krill - Gary
First Krill - Mama

[dry summit]

I like how the chat just grew quiet after we accepted that the TS reveal isn't happening
@foggy marsh we The beta disscusion

[foggy marsh]

OH

I-im sorry I'm stupid

[cosmic ivy]

April fools 2021 = krill in every part of Sky

[mossy glacier]

What about rubber chicken as instruments

[sinful nest]

Pfft the ts is scared of the people in gen chat to show their silhouette

[tough quest]

What would the chicken do?

It would be funny with all the pet requests

[wide grail]

it was really interesting to see the evolution of sanctuary throughout development

[mossy glacier]

It's already a legitimate instrument tho, not some random pet

[olive tide]

I think I’m gonna hop online. See you all on the flip side!

[dry summit]

I would really like a violin as an instrument, that would be rlly interesting

[pliant bramble]

id really like some brass instruments in sky a trombone sounds like a lot of fun, or maybe a saxophone

[dry summit]

id really like some brass instruments in sky a trombone sounds like a lot of fun, or maybe a saxophone
@pliant bramble epic sax guy intesifies

[pliant bramble]

trombone when the elders arent home

[wide grail]

more bass instruments would be amazing, imagine a double bass or a tuba

[pliant bramble]

imagine carrying a tuba on your back

sky kids are stronger than i imagined

[cosmic ivy]

Imagine a string bass

[dry summit]

I would really like a violin as an instrument, that would be rlly interesting
Or maybe a cello, but now I'm thinking of a chibi carrying a cello , so not a good idea

[cosmic ivy]

Usually you sit to play the cello though, which makes me worried ♥︎♥︎

[prime vale]

I just want an ocarina to go full on legend of zelda ovo

[cosmic ivy]

Pfff - I think it would be really cute

And, maybe, instead of wearing it on your back, you would wear it with one of those strings around your neck like a necklace

[wide grail]

orchestra season where there'd be another chair cosmetic similar to the alreqdy existing one, but it's comfy black orchestra chairs

yes that is true, i was gettinf a bit carried away sorry!

apparently i cant type either

[kind perch]

Update for travell spirit please.

[rich frigate]

Hey guys im gonna sit here for a bit bc the general chat is freaking out

[empty river]

any cosmetic youre hoping to get next season?

[cosmic ivy]

I hope for a jar that you can wear on your back and maybe hide in like one of the butterfly jars :0

[kind prawn]

Bird wing cape
Horned hat (Viking)
Rollerblades/ skateboard
Violin (instrument)
Krill cape
Krill headlamp/ spotlight
Ring girl hair
Medusa snake hair
Coloured smoke trails
Fire juggling
Fire cape/ hair

[rich frigate]

I think a halloween season would be cool!

[pliant bramble]

i always liked the idea of a butterfly jar you could maybe store butterflies in it for later use if you're stuck somewhere!

[jaunty trench]

[elfin thistle]

for halloween we had the bat cape and pumpkin hat

[sinful nest]

Think the bat cape and pumpkin will come back?

Yeah gotta wait, It would be awesome to see lots of skykids dressed up in halloween

[mossy meteor]

Is it have information of traveling spirits?

[sinful nest]

!tsbeta

[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!

[mossy glacier]

Even Skybot is 3gerd

[amber saffron]

about the hearts of the season, how does it not affect the test of the game if we need to get the cover to know if it is correct to be released to the global? We know that you are under no obligation to release hearts to all betas because it is not a necessary reward. However, I think it is very necessary to know how it behaves on the doll. I've been on the test program since last year and I always see the bugs and help as I can, even in the design of some pieces of clothing, I think it is extremely necessary to have access to both gift for testing purposes.

[spark lance]

[empty river]

its not an extremely high priority because not all testers used up their hearts before the ultimates were added

i've seen plenty of players who purchased the hangpan after the bug was fixed they'll get the cape just fine. also everyone can do at least some testing with the manta cape using the preview from the closet

[cobalt hare]

If they were really concerned about people testing all of the cosmetics to that extent they would just push them to everybody instead of making us unlock them in the constellation. Just a thought.

Anyways, anybody can search up a YouTube video and see what the cosmetics look like

[unborn flax]

I think that's very sad because we play to test and help tgc, but we also do it because we love the game and want to have fun as we test everything, and fell good playing it.
If all of the hours I spent playing trying to get something for both for testing purposes and personal joy were for nothing... It's just so frustrating =( I understand it may be won't make any difference for tgc, but I can't help myself of feeling frustrated

[cobalt hare]

Yeah I'm not that heavily invested in the beta and I just look for bugs myself, not really into the seasonal content until it hits live. I guess those who feel more passionate about it may be justified, but I don't know if that's entirely what beta was intended for.

[desert badger]

Thats kinda the way standard testing goes across the board for betas. I understand why it can be a struggle, but betas are very much not meant for deep emotional investment.

[cobalt hare]

I don't even play on beta 1/10th of the amount of time I spend on live

[unborn flax]

It's the second season I can't get the full price because of a bug like that. The last one I was in the last day of the event and couldn't trade my seasonal candles to finish the season constalation haha it was veryyy frustrating

[spark lance]

[desert badger]

Same riley!

[cobalt hare]

I don't even have friends on beta lol

[desert badger]

I still dont have all the spirits bc the odds of getting enough folks for some of the 4 person or 8 person activities...

And I used to play beta daily before android live released. If you get fussed about beta too much youll hurt your heart

Ive been in betas for other games that periodically have to reset your progress

I think you have to adjust your mindset, the fun is different in beta - and its also more about ensuring the game as a whole is better.

But I mean its not like I dont get it. Spend enough time in amything and you get attached

[unborn flax]

@desert badger I understand =\ I'm very invested in beta =\

[wide grail]

i've learned just to not get too attached to any beta, it's a completely different mindset. it's to search for bugs to help the devs, not to gain early access or anything but i understand getting attached too!

[desert badger]

Mhm! I think its prob better in the long to recognize that progress in the beta isnt "real" in the same way as the live, and adjust your investment accordingly. You're not meant to treat it like live, and the frustrations of beta bugging out or things going wonky and impeding progress are actually good things, because they are being caught before they go live.

If its your first experience with a beta testing environment it can be hard to shift to that mindset though.

[lusty light]

The devs do not want you to be so invested in beta that you are frustrated and sad about missing out on things this is an intentional decision

The devs make seasons shorter than they are in live specifically so people won’t be able to get all the items and be overly attached

[desert badger]

Mhm! I think we all love the game, but the expression of that love in beta has to be different. If one day beta has to wipe, thats actually pretty normal and expected from other game experiences ive had.

[lusty light]

Also the frequent access wipes in beta means that you might not even be in beta in the next few weeks so there’s no need to stress over something so temporary

[desert badger]

Mhm!

[slim kayak]

uh... just gonna divert the conversation a bit here. I saw someone complaining about there not being enough masculine hairs, hopefully that person will like this season's cosmetics, because I certainly do

[spark lance]

Haha I saw that and was thinking JUST WAIT BRUH! 🤣

[desert badger]

Im very excited about this seasons cometics!

[spark lance]

Me too! After so many “suggestions” I’m curious to see what the final product will look like.

[slim kayak]

oh. I just realized that the confetti spirit was kinda spoiled? Cause it was in the info page for sanctuary

[spark lance]

They said sleepy and mysterious traveler so I had no clue really

[empty river]

the mysterious traveler is something else, traveling spirits dont arrive on mondays

[spark lance]

Ohhhhh interesting thanks!

[rocky solar]

Heya does anyone know where the light boi was moved to (the one that was on the removed floating island in Nest)

[slim kayak]

on the island where the green light lands!

[rocky solar]

ah ok

Thank you!

[fresh crater]

Does anyone know if office in live will have the party

[rocky solar]
