probably bugged? two spirits vanished for me

I insist on it. It would have been nice to have the mantha cape with some skills. Like: calling the manthas near you, in the world of sky, while you flying and charging very quickly your cape, or a cape which lets you fly more then the others, slowly blowing off your wings... I dunno, I was expecting something like this for this season, after the last cosmetics... stickerGloomy

Yes, usually they do fly away after the ending cut scene.

I think as a final cutscene it wouldve ben cool a giant manta appear with a very small island on its back and that island to have like chairs for us to sit and maybe other stuff too

I think it's fine that ultimate rewards do not have a function, since that does give you an unfair advantage to someone who wasn't part of the season.

spark lance
#

But i think some capes SHOULD have special effects like you say.like the manta cape being able to someowhat make a manta follow you since it thinks you are an actual manta or something lmao

#

It’s not unfair to me, one cannot think about the people who don’t play the game šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
And the devs can think on a way to let the new gamers pursuit the ultimate gifts they missed, like they are actually doing...so...

@hollow compass
We android users missed out on both lightseekers and belonging, both of which had practical uses so I don't see how it's unfair for season ultimates to have SOMETHING special to itstickerGloomy

hollow compass
#

What I mean is that there are other items with functions that anyone can get, like the chair. All seasonal items except the bonfire and the umbrella, have been just cosmetics. I think that's more fair to anyone who come along later, regardless of platform. (Can we stop with the Android woes, please, lol?)

@hollow compass
I don't understand what you mean by "fair" here lol also fine, if we DO put aside 'android woes' completing an ENTIRE season and grinding everyday for 2 months and finally getting the ultimate should have SOME benefit, which is different from a orange cape you get for 3 hearts you know?

@dusky spoke I mean that having an ultimate reward that also has a function that gives you an advantage is unfair, because at present there is no way for new players to get those ultimate rewards, unlike the regular seasonal items that return with TS.

hasty vessel
#

The quests aren’t confusing at all, unless you were expecting a shop at the end. The season is for sanctuary (Safety, Protection). Essentially this is the creatures home that we are restoring for them, Calling them back to safety. The wasteland is a barren and dark place of course if you restore it with the magic of sky the impact will be polar opposite. The sanctuary islands seem untouched by the spirits and used more by the creatures. The only structure we see is the bell tower. This was for the creatures, not us cEllieSkyHeart :pManta pJellyfish pCrab

That's a nice way of looking at it!

copper estuary

That was very well said

i wasn't expecting anything at all, but that helps clearing it up

I think I was mainly confused because I did all first five quests in a row and everything got a little jumbled. Perhaps it will be more evident in Live.

Is today the last day of the weekly seasonal quest?

#

Ohh

hollow compass
#

@dusky spoke Unclear why the stickerGloomy react. We must be able to have a discussion and not agree on everything here. And perhaps you also agree that the bonfire gives you an advantage in for example Wasteland and Eden? I found it very useful for that horrible carry quest up the mountain in Sanctuary, even.

@hollow compass I think, the devs are thinking on a way to let the new gamers of sky to purchase the previous ultimate gifts. If they are not doing it, they should šŸ’• if this point could be fixed, we can think about special gifts, not just cosmetics, and help them with ideas. I’m just saying - let be the mantha cape (mantha is a very special being in sky) a special gift, not just cosmetic, it’s nice to think about the future gamers, but let’s think about who is playing now the game

#

pSkyPeek I'm a regular bonfire user here. That gift suppose to act like a table for social networking. It's helpful for recharging a solo wanderer and also helping others when burning dark plants in wasteland.

#

Plus, if you have the campfire, for example, and you are doing wasteland, you can leave it on the ground for other players and share it. If the campfire didn’t have this ability, you couldn’t share it with others

#

pSkyPeek that is correct.

hollow compass
#

I actually think that the regular spirit constellation Elder items should be changed to these more useful ones instead. But that would mean a complete overhaul of the game and it's a little late to go back now.

hasty vessel
#

The problem here isn’t about whether or not they should return ultimate items though, They should. BUT you have to remember that the first 3-4 seasons where advertised to players that they would never return to the game. TCG have to think of a way to bring back the items while keeping ALL players happy, not just new ones. The ultimate items are essentially the physical manifestation of the entire season wrapped up into one cosmetic item. If you weren’t there to experience the season you shouldn’t be able to get the ultimate item. Rather a variant of it instead. Allow the ultimates to return but in different colour variations. A deer mask with silver antlers instead of gold. A blue flamed campfire instead of yellow. Just subtle differences that allow new players to enjoy old items but for veteran players to enjoy the authenticity of theirs.

pOhReally mindset mindset mindseeeetttttt becomes crooked silly

hasty vessel
#

Were you not talking about the fairness around ultimate items?

elder belfry
#

On a different issue, what about the ones who didn’t got to finish it? Shouldn’t they get a chance to still get ultimate reward? If they had the seasonal pass

kindred fossil
#

yes pls give me a chance i was merely a few candles short pCry

hollow compass
#

Azaura, yes, but not in that sense. I wasn't talking about them returning or not. I meant that ultimate rewards in seasons shouldn't be functional, but rather just outstanding in a cosmetic way - like the deer mask.

elder belfry
#

same here🄺

#

I wished we could still get them, I mean after all we did pay for the season, but events can happen and end up short in candles.
So if I technically paid for the ultimate reward, shouldn’t I still be able to access it?

hollow compass
#

Not really. You do still have to grind for the items in each season. Otherwise, people would just not be playing.

cobalt hare
#

@hollow compass I don't think that argument holds up. I've seen people with manta cape already who probably bought a ton of candles to get it early, and they still play regularly.

elder belfry
#

I mean that you farm for the seasonal spirits,
But you can still get the ultimate reward even tho you didn’t finish

spark lance
#

I have the mantha cape and I haven’t bought any candles, cause the shop is empty šŸ¤“ I just got it testing the game every day

hollow compass
#

@cobalt hare um, they paid for candles then. I was talking about getting the ultimate reward without doing anything.

@spark lance same just got it today

hollow compass
#

I got the manta cape in beta yesterday.

hasty vessel
#

Reign you still have to farm for the items. If you know your going to fall short for the ultimate reward you have the option to buy seasonal candles from the shop, if you miss the ultimate you blew your shot

cobalt hare
#

That's literally what I said. The argument that people need to grind in order to play doesn't work, because plenty of people play the game without grinding. I'm talking about people with manta cape on live already.

elder belfry
#

@cobalt hare um, they paid for candles then. I was talking about getting the ultimate reward without doing anything.
@hollow compass not mean not doing anything, just being allowed to keep going but not the spirits you missed but the reward

cobalt hare
#

Obviously if you don't have money, you still need to grind, but there are definitely whales in this game

hollow compass
#

Sorry, I have no idea what either of you are trying to say now. I said: you still have to make an effort in order to get the ultimate items in the season, either by grinding for candles or buying candle packs. If you could just get the ultimate item because you bought the AP there would be no point in playing the season at all.

spark lance

One can choose between pay or play, that’s freedom, how could it affect you?

primal pagoda
#

If you want a free item that comes with the pass, we’ve got pendant. Ultimate rewards need effort to get it that’s why its called ultimate. If it’s free from the beginning it wouldn’t be an ultimate reward then lol

hollow compass
#

Exactly.

elder belfry
#

@hollow compass the thing is some start the season a bit too late, and buying candles is not a free option. So you grind to as many candles and get as much as you can. But you bought the pass, I’m not saying get it with no effort, I’m saying we should smh get a chance to still get it by making an effort with normal candles or Ascended Candles

cobalt hare
#

@hollow compass

There's no effort involved if you buy 300 seasonal candles from the store. People who do that still play the game.

You originally said that the only reason people play is because there's grinding, but that's not true.

Not really. You do still have to grind for the items in each season. Otherwise, people would just not be playing.

distant skiff
#

Oml not this topic again

hollow compass
#

@cobalt hare You're putting words in my mouth or taking things out of context. The point of the discussion was whether the ultimate reward should be available just because you bought the AP, not how you played the season.

#

You still have to either grind or buy the candles. You can't just cash in the ultimate without some effort towards it.

#

Let's stop now, yes. SkyFaint

cobalt hare
#

I was only debating your way of arguing whether the ultimate reward should be brought back or not. Not everyone plays the game just to grind, that much I know is true.

gusty aurora
#

Totally agree with the suggestion of bringing back previous stuff with small variations. It could be a way to make if fair for everyone.

Forget it, it's not important lol. Not worth this much discussion.

hollow compass

Ok. Just for the record, I was only responding to someone saying they should get the ultimate just for buying the AP, even if they didn't complete the season. I had nothing to do with bringing back the ultimates. If that's what you were talking about?

Well if we are to have a discussion and not agree on everything i feel me simply reacting stickerGloomy instead of continuing on with the debate is totally validSkyLOL
However since you decided to bring it up again, as you said yes the bonfire is infact super useful, and you are still reaping it's benefits, now it's because you have PAID for it and played in the season, hence your advantage, just like that for the current players and not the future ones who are yet to even discover sky all i ask for is something similar to it, it doesn't NOT need to be something practical, but simply atleast which is a bit different from your normal items you get i mean it is an ultimate i do not ask for an unfair advantage but simply a cosmetic which is special in some way.

Each bell has something grander and grander happen, with each seeming to have a purpose of summoning a different creature. The final one bringing them all together seems to be missing something... Like it all should have a reason to get these mantas flying around together.

The bells in Prairie summon mantas who bring the birds. There are some additional light effects coming off the clouds. Just seems like having them all flocking together like that would cause something the ancestors would have wanted. Maybe birds or some kind of light/energy?

I did it with only 4 flaps (went to eden and haven't collected wing lights yet). it's doable if you start from the floating island that the one wing light is on, ride the geyser up to the floating island, take a running leap off the edge and immediately switch to glide mode and pray you make it to the clouds to recharge before you run out of wings SkyLOL

It is fun, just yeah feels like we were built up for something that didn't happen

Haha nice Kai! SkyLOL I used two geysers to get me above the main island, then I glided up to the clouds, flapping only when necessary. Once I got up there, it was just a matter of circling a few times to get the right angle stickerHeart

Would be nice to see a purpose for the manta party, like maybe them getting together and causing a ruckus summons some crazy big manta who tells them to settle down it's too early for this sort of thing.

I've got 2 bugs to report, soon as I go on break. One was the timid bookworm being literally fuzzy the other, was how the cut scene when I went back to the spirit.... Well it's probably more of an annoyance, but the screen lingered on the bell tower very slowly zooming in for a full 2 minutes

I have a feeling the cutscene which we saw today is a mere placeholder. In live there are 5.5 weeks left so tgc may be still working on the final cutscene and its impact on Sanctuary.

I wonder what the grey spirits are for. It would be cool if lighting them up or something would let us relive their quests. I’d love to do manta shard collection again stickerShiny

lyric kite
#

I'm thinking it might be something that maybe didn't get finished? I feel like all of the seasonal spirits were probably supposed to appear on the hill behind the quest giver and kind of say goodbye, like what happened during Enchantment's final cutscene. But either it's not finished or maybe it didn't work as intended? This is just a guess, but it doesn't seem to me like they're supposed to just stay standing there after it's over (and also a couple of the spirits were missing)

empty river

yea I also feel the cutscene isnt finished yet šŸ˜… especially since we're used to testing season ending stuff closer to the ending of the season in live

I really liked the shy bookworm (?) memory. In my imagination the quest giver might be the butterfly spirit or maybe a relative of them, because it's one of my favourite spirits.

elder musk
#

I could not see what was going on for the timid bookworm spirit as the spirits are translucent and the whole memory is displayed against a bright background. So to me that one will remain a mystery, sadly.

hollow compass
#

Yes, that was my main complaint for most of them. I asked in Live channel about the jellyfish call one, because I honestly had no idea what was going on there. People suggested they were just jumping around on jellyfish for fun.

elder musk

Me too, it was a feedback I gave in beta. In Live the jelly whisperer was somewhat better. I think he was listening to the jelly sounds. But for what purpose, I have no clue.

Do you get 12 seasonal candles per day in beta?

Btw, I interpreted the timid bookworm memory as the quest giver trying to show her the butterflies and maybe not quite catching her attention all the time. In the end he catches a blue butterfly and she gets up from reading her book and tries to catch it.

I’ve considered asking a moth friend of mine if they could sacrifice that spirit so I could get good pics of jelly call while greyed out but I don’t want to do that to them

#

But I did notice cause the belly pat spirit is a carry quest that either the crabs stole the spirit’s sunhat and glasses and the quest giver was helping them get it back, or the spirit was playing dress up with them and the quest giver was defending the crabs SkyLOL

hollow compass

Yes, what is the quest giver offering belly pat at the end? Is it a crab?

elder musk

The quest giver shakes his head when he returns the šŸ•¶ and the hat to the spirit. That spirit is very lazy. Probably he fell asleep and the crabs stole his things and the quest giver helped to get them back. But tummy rub: did he eat a crab? šŸ˜‚

Hey wouldn’t it be cool if we could spend a really high amount of candles to get a special code that would give us a discount on everything in the store??

random gull
#

I don't think they would do that because it would essentially be exchanging virtual currency that I'm assuming you didn't buy (why would you buy virtual currency to get a store discount) for real products. Merch isn't a high profit margin to begin with

worn field
#

my brain is too small to work out the economics SkyScared

spark lance
#

pPopcorn economics is too big of a subject to handle alone. You need expertise

random gull
#

I haven't taken an economics class in years. I only vaguely remember stuff like this so I couldn't give you the exact maths but I do know offering stuff at a discount usually means at a loss and they're taking the loss over the item taking up storage space that new profitable items could be using. and a slight loss is better than loss of the full cost of producing the item. so I guess if the merch sticks around long enough they'd discount it just to make it go away and to eat less of a loss than never selling it at all.

#

the other option for less reputable places is marking the item up way above where you would make a profit and the offering it at a discount where you still profit just to make the buyer think they're getting a good deal. I can't see sky devs pulling that one though

feels like it's another one of those times where we're seeing things while they're still in an unpolished state, so we can test the main new content sooner

I think this season as a whole is pretty anticlimactic. None of the season quests seem to matter

With ark we knew what we were doing, we were restoring Ark, and each cutscene had small visual and gameplay changes, which made it feel like we were making a difference. This season just doesn’t have that feeling.

random gull

yeah I am still honestly confused what they were going for with the bell quests. we've brought back just a whole heck of a lot of mantas to the area but I can't sluth out why SkyLOL

I think the sheer amount of mantas there is a bug

pulsar edge

@empty inlet what could be added at this point tho? I agree that it feels like it’s not complete, but cerebrally, it very much seems like it is, which I think is my point here when I say that we’re missing a purpose/motivation this season

empty inlet
#

i thought there should be an update before the final quest is unlocked

#

The final quest delayed in beta as well during Enchantment

worn field
#

i understand the feeling of it being anticlimactic if expectations are set by the enchantment quests. stickerItsOk the enchantment finale was slightly gamechanging because it introduced the spell shop.
i kinda like the sanctuary quests, since they're really chill, not super dramatic - kinda fits with the vacation-theme of the season. and maybe they don't matter a ton in the grand scheme of things, but i think they matter to the sanctuary spirits (especially the guide).
it's kinda nice to see the sanctuary filled with manta flying around.

I’ve never really cared about the spell shop, I’ve maybe bought 5 spells in Live, so I don’t think that’s entirely it. Enchantment had a clear cause/effect/reward for all of the quests in the season, not just the ending one. This season really doesn’t

empty river
#

and now every player, old and new, can at least experience part of the newest seasons whenever they want pWow

spark lance
#

Just my two-cents but maybe the effects of the final cutscene are being held back to avoid spoilers as the final quest was released a lot earlier than the enchantment one (in terms of the seasons lining up) so maybe that could be it SkyShrug

hollow compass
#

I agree with Ral. (I also didn't really care for the shop, tbh.) The quests for Sanctuary are unclear. Why am I doing them and what is the result? Birds? Golden bells? Why?

spark lance
#

Hope the next season brings us a more useful thing like the spell shop

hollow compass
#

Also, do we know if the bell quests will stay after the season ends, like they did for Ark?

spark lance
#

Probably it will

empty river
#

highly likely, i dont see why they would take them away

spark lance
#

That means new season questgivers cannot retire

hollow compass
#

Then I really think they need to have a clearer end result.

random gull
#

seems to be implied that they'll stay. I think Giccix is right that this is a way for new players to experience old seasons and devs have been trying really hard to find ways to give new players access to older content in a way that doesn't take away the specialness of the content when it was brand new

worn field
#

i'd guess the idea for the sanctuary quests is we're restoring the sanctuary by calling back all the manta (presumable, there were a lot of manta there when the spirits were alive)
another way of putting it - to me it feels a little like the area is being brought back to life. there were't many manta there before, but now the area's much more full of life

pulsar edge
#

It already felt full of life to me in the beginning, so I can understand why I could’ve missed that effect where others saw it

tender oasis
#

Enchantment was the season of innovation then. I like the quest system and really liked to do the restoration ones. Guess that’s a good feedback for them and maybe a successful path to follow in the future? To make players feel that they are doing something useful. I like Joshur’s theory but some of the creatures just dissapeared after the quests. Why? SkyShrug

worn field
#

i suppose there were already a fair few creatures around at the beginning - jellyfish and crabs and butterflies. (i don't remember if there were any manta there yet at the start...)

pulsar edge
#

Don’t think so

#

There were birds I think tho. And butterflies

lyric kite
#

There weren't any mantas in the beginning. In fact, that was something I sent feedback about how the place would feel more lively if there were some mantas or birds flying around (this was before we knew what all the bell quests would do). So it seems like that was part of the intention, the quests are about restoring life to the place in a way

random gull
#

no manta at the start no. but definitely were active creatures otherwise. the birds and butterflies I think got added in a patch. I remember the geysers being the only way to recharge at first

worn field
#

yeah butterflies weren't there yet in the first beta build for sanctuary, iirc

random gull
#

in live they were there from the start tough! was very helpful for timid bookworm quest because I was letting a moth lead me SkyLOL

hollow compass
#

yes, the area is already quite alive in the Live (lol) version, so the difference after the bell quests is still not obvious to me

lyric kite
#

I wonder if part of the feeling may also come from the fact that Sanctuary seems to be kind of a standalone season. With Enchantment, we had some references to previous seasons and it felt like it tied into the overall lore of the game. Sanctuary is kind of its own thing (some people have even compared it to like the beach episode situation used in anime sometimes for fillers lol), so it seems more independent of the overall lore and therefore might feel a little less meaningful maybe

spark lance

The new season area is at a easy place to find- even some moths has the new season's emotes

I feel like a ā€œbeach episodeā€ works, especially since with a game like this, where people join anytime, telling a story where one time occurring things are important makes things complicated, so the seasons kinda have to be extra that isn’t important, and while yeah, a little more story would make the quests in sanctuary better, if the point is for it to be peaceful and like a vacation of sorts, then maybe the point is there isn’t much of one other than just fool around and have fun

In case yall missed it in #beta-known-issues :

Hi all!

The cutscene for the final bell quest in the current build is a placeholder. We will have an updated version in the next beta build, but it may still not be finalized at that time. We'll keep you updated on the status of that cutscene as development progresses.

For those who have completed the final quest already, we'll post a recording of the cutscene so you can provide feedback.

From Ktjn

The amount of engineering work it takes to reset everyone's progress for the cutscene isn't a trivial task. For testing purposes, you've accomplished what needed to be tested in the sense that you've ensured the game doesn't crash when triggering the cutscene. That being said, we know you all would like to see the cutscene which is why we'll provide a recording.

Not to say it isn't something that we may consider adding in a future update, it has definitely been discussed before and is on the nice-to-have list of feature requests. It's just not a feature we have planned to add in the immediate future.

Hypeeeeeee! I would love to relive spirit memories. I will wait a year if I have to stickerShiny

We usually provide videos of the ending cutscene once the season has concluded on social media.

@flat willow yeah it is

When the sun rises, the sleeping merchant will be awake

Ohh okay!Thanks UwU

spark lance

Maybe they will edit some of the quests idk

proper pawn

I think they'll replace the flock of the mantas with something grand...But I knowthey'll not edit out the quests because it's already awesome to have a bell hunt

blazing sail

The spirits didn’t do anything so they’ll probably give them something to do besides stare at the ocean for infinity

night meadow
#

Oh so the spirit at home is not for in game content?

kindred fossil
#

most likely

#

we'll see in 8 hours, how he functions and whatnot

lyric kite
#

Common guess so far is that it will provide a link to the merch shop or something like that, but yeah nothing has been confirmed yet so we'll have to wait and see

humble fossil
#

May I ask why we’re not allowed to discuss heart trading?

rustic imp
#

Arranging heart trades is against the rules because it can cause drama which we don’t want in this server. It also can lead to harassment as people spam requests and chase down people.

orchid nexus
#

it's also generally against the spirit of the game, gifting and friendship. Transactions are the opposite

humble fossil
#

Okay understandable but what if we could alter a bit. Maybe have a poll to let people know they’re open to find friends to trade with? That way they wouldn’t be asking anyone directly and the personal issues if they were to appear would be kept in private messages

#

Yes but you can’t disregard it completely

orchid nexus
#

Anyone is free to trade in-game, privately with friends, or in other servers. But not here. Everyone does it to some degree but the kind of atmosphere it would create in a large server is also counter to how TGC and server staff want the place to be

spark lance
#

Also I always wanted a way to exchange my candles for hearts

humble fossil
#

Okidoki glad there’s morale behind it at least stickerHeart

orchid nexus
#

you can @spark lance , up to the limit of what the spirits offer

spark lance
#

So people will only send hearts when they want to make their friends happy

humble fossil
#

It’s quite limiting if you don’t have many friends but I get the idea behind it

spark lance
#

Or they can continue to heart trading idk

orchid nexus
#

it's totally fine if you want to trade with your friends. but that's only between you and your friends if you want to play that way. Even with trading disallowed we've had many complaints of scamming, people arguing over agreements... one even tried to share a very detailed contract for daily trading. YUCK

humble fossil
#

Right I see how that could be a problem

spark lance
#

Yeah it can be a problem

humble fossil
#

But theeeeen what if trading in general was updated to a two option system where one: you can chose to give a heart to your friend without anything in return and 2: there’s a locked trade that makes you give each other hearts simultaneously. That way there would be no scam

orchid nexus
#

then there would be no gifts as well pWeep

spark lance
#

But also no scams

humble fossil
#

There would be gifts if that is what the player chooses
But if its an arranged trade there would be reassurance

lyric kite
#

It would put more pressure on people though, feeling like they are required to give their friends hearts instead of just giving them as gifts. People might get mad at their friends if they never agree to do the locked in trades, which would still cause problems

orchid nexus
#

This takes some adjustment to thinking. You have to realize the current system is not broken, and not accidental. It was designed with the specific intent of making a friendship/empathy-based game.

tender oasis
#

Locked trade is when you have a good friend whom u can trust in and both agree on doing it. I don’t think there is a need for a feature like that if you are both want it.

orchid nexus
#

This game has been in development for a long time, and many different things have been tried. If the game could guarantee a return, most players in most cases would opt for that, and never form the trust required to be friends, instead just use players as currency grinding. Without that, people can still use their friends for currency grinding, but even in that case, there's trust involved, instead of the simple mechanics of a 1:1 trade

spark lance
#

That makes sense

orchid nexus
#

You also have to realize that Jenova and all of TGC have heard this kind of request for years and have had the vision and courage to completely stick to their goals. I really admire what they do. I did before Sky, and watching development as a long-time beta player has increased my respect for them.

humble fossil
#

Of course I’m not going at their necks or anything I’m merely coming with ideas

#

I do see how I may seem disrespectful towards their efforts though

#

I really do appreciate all they’ve accomplishment

orchid nexus
#

I know you're not. You're coming from the place almost all of us came from: other games that focus on individual goals. That's normal and to be expected. I've understood the aims of Sky for a long time, but I still catch myself thinking like a gamer instead of thinking like a friend sometimes.

humble fossil
#

I have the same issue but it’s hard not to when you’ve played for a long time

#

Just need a reminder to appreciate it once in a while heh

orchid nexus
#

absolutely, and this is part of why Games For Change (see #news ) gave TGC awards

spark lance
#

It wouldn't be bad if we could see known but refused ideas for a logical reason

humble fossil
#

That’s why we have a discussion chat hahah

orchid nexus
#

So, sorry to get into LECTURE MODE for a bit, since it's a little off-topic, but I hope the explanation helps, instead of just a blanket no it's against the rules cuz we said so

tacit flame
#

I think that’s part of the reason why I grew to love beta so much? like I didn’t feel the pressure to grind or constantly do heart trades like I do in live, and it actually changed the way I play live too :0 like, game design truly does go a long way, and i feel if anything sky really manages to deliver an experience that...stresses the importance of just being kind pSkyHeart

blazing sail
#

Thing is... if you get scammed, it should only happen once

#

If you really did make an agreement with someone to trade and they don’t follow through, just don’t send them another heart

humble fossil
#

Yea i really appreciate you taking your time to help understand🧔

orchid nexus
#

if each one of us got scammed in this server, that would be 115k scams to clean up

blazing sail
#

It sucks but it’s not a huge loss

#

I’m not advocating for trades here, just to clarify

orchid nexus
#

and I'm not advocating against trades in-game

blazing sail
#

I’m just saying that I don’t think locked-in trades are necessary

#

If someone agrees to send and doesn’t, they’ll just have a hard time getting people to trust them in the future

humble fossil
#

Could be for a grind game but not for sky

blazing sail
#

Also, really not cool to pull a stranger to a bench just to ask them for hearts

#

Or a brand new friend

empty inlet
#

bruh

blazing sail
#

It’s happened a few times, where I thought I made an excited new friend and they just wanted hearts. sqwarlockDed

empty inlet

So i kind of ignoring all friend requests from complete strangers (those who are not friend of any of my friends)

blazing sail
#

These days I’m like that bc I have so many but I used to just accept candle offers from anyone

empty inlet

tbh, I really want to start fresh and try to make new friends actively, and see what kind of Sky experience i can get from it

it's lovely stickerPeace friends come to you and you come to them, having great moments of sharing

I really have too many friends. I don’t even remember how I met most of them

Befriending with moths can be good too but I suggest you to unlock chat with them

but if you have more than 70 friends you will lose some of them, having a hard time to find them again in the constellation😦

Yeah thankfully the close friends I care about don’t disappear

I was half expecting a new permanent addition to the game post-final quest like the shop at the Ark :c

@blazing sail me too lol. I'm in an active sky server

True

Maybe there's still hope lol

strong canopy
#

its a good news tho šŸ™‚ you will have sth new to discover in live!

tender oasis
#

I wish we could organize friends in a way besides the favourite constellation. Sometimes i lost track of who is who and where did we meet if we dont cross each others path too often.stickerEmbarrassed

lyric kite
#

The cutscene is a placeholder/not finished, but I'm still not sure if there will be some big change. I can't really think of anything that they could add like they did with the shops at Ark. So I'm thinking it will still be a similar cutscene with all the mantas, but the spirits will probably do something other than just stand there creepily

strong canopy
#

indeed. but i really dont have any option to suggest yet to re-work the friend menu system

tender oasis

I had some but as soon as started thinking about them i could already saw the flaws of all of thempFIRE pCry

spark lance

I wish we could organize friends in a way besides the favourite constellation. Sometimes i lost track of who is who and where did we meet if we dont cross each others path too often.stickerEmbarrassed
@tender oasis yeah. Also a folder-like system wouldn't be bad.

slow narwhal
#

I've had to block tons of people just to sift through the list to try and find a friend again, kinda time consuming since it seems pretty random who will turn up.

strong canopy
#

its mostly based on time shared with the person, if its a favorite one, if your tree is expanded, if you shared hearts already etc

#

once i see some friends i didnt see in a while they reappear right after in my constellation

slow narwhal
#

True, but when old friends start playing again...

tender oasis
#

Or just the ability to relocate the friends in your constellation the way you want too. Like on the left. Far end the friends of the friends, on the right, ppl whom i met and tried to help.

lyric kite
#

Instead of suggesting a specific solution, you could still suggest a general improvement of the friend menu and explain that it's hard to keep track of all your friends if you have more than the menu can currently display. Let TGC figure out what they might be capable of implementing or not, and then you can leave feedback if they ever do make changes to it stickerHeart

spark lance
#

I can still see a favorite friend that doesn't log in since 2 months ago

slow narwhal
#

I don't SkyShrug

strong canopy
#

if they start playing again and were good friends, they should be able to se you, join you or even just light your candle, which will show them again šŸ™‚

spark lance

But I can't see a moth I befriended with them recently

strong canopy

crescent did you share hearts with them a bit?

slow narwhal

I dunno what to say other than that's not how it worked out

Interesting cBattiChubbersR

#

crescent did you share hearts with them a bit?
@strong canopy I didn't. They were kinda rich though

strong canopy
#

its really sad to only have the block option when one of your friend is totally inactive but you want to see the active ones instead

slow narwhal
#

Sometimes even recent friends I spend time with will vanish

spark lance
#

They bought the office cape when they went to there for first time

strong canopy
#

hmm strange

tender oasis
#

All would be good if i had a decent memorySkyPray

strong canopy
#

i once had a friend i played a lot with, shared many hearts and then they just stopped. they stayed for weeks in my constellation

slow narwhal
#

If you add a lot of local friends and they all have a favorite it's going to crowd some out

#

That happened too, I have some that have sat there for months

#

But those tend to be the ones I unlocked almost every action with

strong canopy
#

but as this is beta discussion, lets talk about the facebook constellation, what the hell is this thing

slow narwhal
#

I don't like it

spark lance
#

I don't even have Facebook

there is a bluetooth one lol???

tender oasis

One plus page which makes it even longer to reach your poor friends pFIRE

slow narwhal

Takes me out of the game. I don't want to think about Facebook.

spark lance

It looks like Nearby feature

strong canopy

plus it has like a completion thing, for what

#

you added 10 fb friends, here comes your facebook cone hat lol

tender oasis
#

To get the ultimate facebook reward SkyYay SkyWhew

slow narwhal

If they're going to have it I'd rather it be an optional menu

spark lance
#

Facebook reward?

strong canopy
#

oh facebook elder give me your mighty hair lmao

#

zuckerberg in Orbit hahahah

lyric kite
#

The completion percentage is probably just a placeholder, or leftover from if they copied parts of the code from the other constellations. That section isn't finished yet since none of it really works right now, so it could still be changed or removed in the future

spark lance
#

Facebook elder is Zuckerberg

tender oasis
#

There is no such thing as facebook reward i just mentioned it for fun oreoheart

spark lance

Lol

#

And a Bluetooth reward

strong canopy
#

i dont think i want this constellation to stay, i dont get the point of it

#

haha it would be a bluetooth speaker to play music around you lol

spark lance
#

A blue Bluetooth speaker

#

The ultimate Bluetooth reward should be blue

lyric kite
#

It seems like they might be experimenting with other ways to add friends to the game, beyond just sharing QR codes. I also don't really feel like we need to have separate constellations for those friends though, but we'll see what happens when it's more finished or whatever

spark lance
#

Maybe they will add player codes like SkyKid_747364738

sharp scroll
#

Lmao friend codes

empty inlet
#

We do have a Sky ID tho

spark lance
#

But it's for recovery

lyric kite

Your Sky ID is for account recovery purposes though, you're not supposed to share it with other people

spark lance
#

And it supposed to be private

#

Game search engine to find by number SkyKid_465378195

#

Maybe they would add flags near the player codes

#

SkyKid_746383103 šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

#

I think it's going to look weird. pOhReally

tender oasis
#

It will be interesting to test in beta if we ever have to, since beta access works with invite links + testflight/google . And we should invite our fb friend who may never played sky, to come and use this fb link to get a beta account? pThink i SkyLOL can’t imagine it without at least a hint of awkwardness SkyLOL

slow narwhal
#

Seems like a promotional thing to me. Why else have a specific section for how you got friends? Like advertise to your friends in Facebook, anyone who clicks and joins will be added to your Facebook constellation!!

#

Bluetooth is bewildering hah

sharp scroll

Maybe it would be like [insert username of freind here] 2763646

#

I can't even find people playing sky live IRL

slow narwhal

Yeh

empty inlet
#

You can't do that pakka, beta and live are two different games for real

sharp scroll
#

Lmao facebook friends

empty inlet
#

beta and live have two different identifier and facebook won't recognize them as the same game

sharp scroll
#

I don't think the karens at facebook would like sky very much šŸ˜‚

lyric kite
#

I think that was part of the point, this would be difficult to test in beta since you need to have been invited to use the app in the first place

spark lance
#

@spark lance
It will be no longer clear, the player for example does not want to spend candles and the number can be through third-party applications and this feature is already available for invitation, if you have already spent candles then why invite friends again. And yes, if you enlighten the player and see his ID for making friendships, then you have to completely change the system of friendship pOhReally

#

You're not wrong though

sharp scroll
#

Y'all literally write essays

serene goblet

hello SkyYay

If you change the system of friendship it will be the same as before, now everything is made more difficult so that people who mock others could not do it very simply pOhReally

general beta discussion have now become gerneral beta lore discussion

Kanpai i know they are different apps. What i wanted to say is it’s gonna be real hard to find a facebook friend to invite with this feature into beta just for the test. Sometimes i struggle with expressing my thoughts in english, srry for that. stickerHeart

spark lance
empty inlet
#

Ok, sorry that I got you wrong stickerHeart

spark lance
#

At the moment on the beta I can not invite a friend through Facebook, although this application I have installed, really can not understand this reason

#

May not have given the necessary permissions

#

I think Facebook/Nearby feature isn't that necessary atleast for now

#

It can be added when the game becomes more popular

#

It's played by a lot of people.

#

Yeah but it could be more popular

#

People usually discover the game by themselves or by friends maybe, not from ads

#

There is no advertising, I agree with this, but it does require not a small budget of companies

amber umbra
#

Iā€˜ll be honest, Iā€˜m curious about the invite square. Has anyone tested this yet?

spark lance
#

It's for the invite codes, it seems

amber umbra
#

Yes, but has anyone tried it?

spark lance
#

Yeah

amber umbra
#

What does it look like?

#

Does the square populate with the people waiting to confirm the invite?

spark lance
#

I think so.

#

When you create friendship links, the qr icon gets shown in the fav friends constellation in live, but the qr icons gets shown in that square in beta

amber umbra
#

Yes, thatā€˜s what I thought. Thanks yā€˜all

spark lance
#

These invitations can be removed if not accepted in the currents for a long time, so it does not actually interfere

amber umbra
#

I just wanted to know if it was being tested as a new holding ground for QR codes sent but not yet confirmed. SkyBow

#

And it sounds like it is!

spark lance
#

It's kinda useful tho

amber umbra

I can imagine! Decluttering the main favorite page

Poor servers

Shop background had a yellowish glow this morning. Now the sun rose and it’s all blinding whitepCry

#

general is going mad crazy

random gull
#

the coming soon page doesn't exist anymore but we can't not redirect

empty inlet
#

the problem is, server doesn't respond

rocky solar
#

devs underestimated us

brisk tiger
#

That’s why I prefer beta general discussion...

spark lance
#

Does the website working?

rocky solar
#

just gotta wait lol

random gull
#

they hit 20 million downloads AND 100k server members recently. it's not really all that surprising to me

rocky solar
#

200k*?

forest pawn
#

well,why did not i inter the thatskyshop?

rocky solar
#

was it 100k or 200k?

brisk tiger
#

I was kind of surprised server didn’t crash after sanctuary opened

random gull
#

100k but it is growing

rocky solar
#

oh ok lol

forest pawn
#

Just because mine is a Chinese account?

tough pebble
#

Little dissapointed ngl but not surprising

random gull
#

the game server didn't crash because it's hosted by AWS so they pay money to make sure it can host 20 million players SkyLOL

spark lance
#

the screen is fine on the sky shop

forest pawn
random gull
#

Just because mine is a Chinese account?
@forest pawn nobody can access it right now

spark lance
#

its just lizard mans hair covering the screen

forest pawn
#

Is it like this?

#

I thought I was the only one like this.

empty inlet
#

now the server respond, but still direct you to the countdown page

forest pawn
#

thanks dude

rocky solar
#

lizard man's counterattack to skykids: 404 not found

random gull
#

they're probably working on fixing it

empty inlet
#

but with nothing designed for when the countdown finished

forest pawn
random gull
#

lots of devs online right now so I bet they're scrambling. we should let them sneep once it's done

spark lance
#

this chat is so much more chill then the general sky disscusion

random gull
#

well yeah. 5k beta members approximately. 100k server members total. it's a big difference

brisk tiger
#

Im not beta but I feel safer here šŸ˜…

spark lance
#

same

random gull
#

SkyLOL you don't have to be beta to be in this channel. it's generally advised that you know you're getting into unfinished and spoiler-y content here if you lurk though

spark lance
#

yup i like to see the bugs just to get teasers of whats to come

brisk tiger
#

I have this feeling people will compulsive buy and merch will be gone in seconds

random gull
#

oh I"m not redirecting this time yet aahhEyes still loading tho

hollow compass
#

also, just because it says "general" here, it doesn't mean you can chat about anything: this channel is meant for discussions about beta gameplay and experiences SkyPray

rocky solar
#

i wonder how many people lurk here lol

brisk tiger
#

Can we discuss about the stampede rushing toward merch shop?šŸ˜‚

random gull
#

a lot SkyLOL probably a lot of people who missed beta invites specifically like to lurk here to keep up with what's going on in beta

rocky solar
#

lol

brisk tiger
#

Yeah, one of those, I just like spoilers pWow

random gull
#

beta isn't really early access. if you've lurked here a lot you'll notice even beta testers miss a lot of content because it's unfinished when we test it

#

makes for a fun surprise in live sometimes SkyLOL

brisk tiger
#

Sneak peaked into general chat and now they are fighting over somethingšŸ‘€

random gull
#

oh?

#

lol I checcked in time to catch Ktjn reminding everyone to keep it kind and respectful but heck chat is nyooooooming

rough rampart
#

For now, let's wait quietly for TGC to respond.

OH I SEE it's not limited because it's a preorder SkyLOL

#

rough rampart
#

It looks like you got up.

flint wigeon
#

I didn’t expect the shop is pre order status šŸ˜‚

random gull
#

yeah it finally stopped redirecting me SkyLOL but pre-order is good. this means the people like me for whom is is 3:30 AM get a chance

#

there is a whole month to pre-order

rocky solar
#

it's pretty nice

hollow compass
#

A limited edition item may sell out before last date.

random gull
#

I can't decide if I want the limited box set SkyFaint like it's so pretty but I have nowhere to put the pretty box and it's more than the 3 other pins I want to buy combined

rocky solar
#

woah

#

check out the star tab in the shop guys

rough rampart
#

Oof

slow narwhal
#

Has me wondering what the star feature on some pins will be

brisk tiger
#

Remember also that shipping is like 30$

@random gull a backpack !! They tend to fin it so well

#

Remember also that shipping is like 30$
@brisk tiger sadly ;-;

brisk tiger
#

I got a weasel pin, that’s all I can afford šŸ˜‚

random gull
#

I live in USA so shipping is probably little less than that for me. I can get small stuff shipped in a box for under $10

rough rampart
#

Shipping cost 30$?

hollow compass
#

Shipping from the US right now is crazy expensive and in some cases not even possible.

brisk tiger
#

Wow, I live in Ecuador and it costed me 31$

random gull
#

free shipping to USA (probably because I have $130 worth of pins in my cart aahhEyes )

rough rampart
#

Wow…

tender oasis
#

Wow

slow narwhal
#

Free shipping to some regions if you spend over $60

random gull
#

I only have money right now because of the government pity check that they called the CARES act pFIRE

slow narwhal
#

Ah yeah the timing is unfortunate... Lots more people strapped for cash

random gull
#

yeah so many people out of work right now. I'm lucky in the regard that I still have work (even though my workplace has had multiple coronavirus cases and terrifies me) and get paid SkyFaint

flint wigeon
#

Free shipping is not applicable for EU

hollow compass
#

I just realised: is the Star technology how they are planning to reintroduce old ultimate rewards?

slow narwhal
#

They seem to be cast spells, but maybe

brisk tiger
#

Well Imma go sleep, spent my money and now it’s time to rest

slow narwhal
#

It's like Amiibo in pin form

hollow compass
#

Yeah, I noticed that they were just spells for now. Hm, but maybe later?

pPopcorn niceeeee

littleoreo.com redirects to the facebook page that is all Oreo and I am dying of cute now ablobhearts

kindred bluff

what do you guys think the other pins than the lightseekers cape would do? :0

hollow compass
#

the crab one says: Searching high and low. Walking far and wide. No crabs in tow? Nor neighbors aside? If they were to follow... Could you be a friend?

So maybe you get a pet crab?

random gull
#

star does not work on android pWeep

slow narwhal
#

Seeing it just made me want to email it and tell Oreo they're a good dog pHelloOreo

#

If mystery item is an Oreo pin people will be sore I'll bet

#

Especially if it does something Oreo related

random gull
#

why do people gotta be selling their used and broken iphones that are 4+ generations behind for $500 stickerShock yall this is why I have android. guess I have to wait for star to work on my phone or beg an iphone friend to let me tap my pins on their phone

spark lance

SkyBow a good memory is fine

international shipping is killer SkyFaint and I don't get why either. I can get stuff shipped INTO America for way less than it costs to ship stuff OUT OF America. why usps be like this

NOTICE: STAR is only compatible with iPhone 7 or later iPhone models (iPhone 7 / 8 / X / XS / XR / 11 / 11 Pro). Android support will come later.

quick oriole

As long as the iPad has NFC I’d assume star support for iPad will come later, just like Android

empty inlet
#

no

#

ipad don't have nfc

Welp

Ooooof SkyFaint

kindred bluff

rip, i still have my iphone 7+ though i guess pEyes šŸ’¦šŸ’¦

quick oriole

Also I need to know whose phone is in the star demo video cause they’ve got a hella crowded screen of apps

rocky solar
#

I hope they somehow make the STAR feature work for android when they ship the items, because i bought it lol

kindred bluff
#

the problem is i dont usually use,, my iphone 7+ for my main acc, its my assistant account that i kinda use as a me friend stickerGloomy hope i dont mess stuff up if i use it

rocky solar
#

well i literally have the latest galaxy phone so.... pretty sure it will

random gull

glances at my home screen with 100+ apps in various folders šŸ˜…

empty inlet
#

well

#

STAR applies to you and your friend

#

but STAR will connect to the account as well

#

You will be able to clean up your home screen when iOS 14 arrives kai SkyLOL

random gull
#

I'm on android. technically my home screen is clean because it's all organized into folders but I was making a joke because random cats was joking about the phone in the video being cluttered with apps SkyLOL

empty inlet
#

oops lol

random gull
#

yeah. I like that my phone has neat features like that but the amount of device variability is killer for coding so I have to wait longer for app developers to give me features SkyFaint heck even two of the same exact android phone can vary on app compatibility so it's really unpredictable what androids will do with the code
