Wait for the next beta wave

torpid sapphire
#

Wait?

mighty estuary
#

Its a separate app and server

torpid sapphire
#

Oof i download on own app store lmao

hidden quarry
#

the only legitimate way to download beta is from an official invite link from #beta-signup-info when the beta waves open up.

lyric kite
#

Please read #beta-faq for more information about invite waves and how to join. The next invite wave won't be for probably a couple months though, so you will have to wait if you didn't get an invite last time

Hello.. I downloaded the beta on my android phone and have been playing for quite some time. I now have an IPhone and I am wondering how to install the beta again. I would like to continue playing with the avatar I’ve already created before I switched phones.

copper bison
#

i don't know if you can, because your google play account might not be able to connect to the iPhone version of beta. and if you want to download beta if you don't have it, you'll need to wait for an invite wave because i don't think you can download it otherwise.

#

though i can't be sure on connecting the google account, i don't have an ios device.

young shore
#

Yes that is my predicament. It’s unfortunate. I made so much progress with my beta avatar. I’ve already missed out on so much. I don’t understand why I have to start over and wait for the next wave just because I needed a new phone 😞

hidden quarry
#

have you linked your beta account? pEyes

primal pagoda
#

Beta account can be linked to google account. I just don’t know if it works just like live

young shore
#

Yes I believe I set it up with an email. I just have no way of downloading the app

copper bison
#

it's beta, things like this can happen. (wipes, new phones cause the old ones died, etc.) it's why we say "don't get too attached to your betakid."

it's between android and ios, i'm not sure if you can connect a google account to an ios device because i don't have one. and either way, they still have to wait for an invite wave because they can't get the app.

young shore
#

I have my global sky account from my android connected to my iPhone. That’s all set. I’m just missing playing beta.

copper bison
#

the thing is, (idk how it works very well on ios, i'm a android betakid xd) you have to sign up for an invite wave with testflight right? idk if you have the option between game centre and google play. but either way, unfortunately you still have to wait for an invite wave. no other way to get the app legit.

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

What about the colors?
@jade night
i meant color by seasons! what i interpreted each season's main color theme was i guess pEyes 💦

Well, if that’s the case then

Manta is my favorite color

yes, the manta colour, coming straight from the mantas themselves.

@spark lance What you described is an issue with Google, some Android players have had issues with the play store saying they're a tester but they can't download the game. Google doesn't seem to want to fix it, so unfortunately if you're one of the players affected by the bug, then you'll have to wait until the next access wipe and try to get in through another invitation

spark lance
#

So

#

I played beta ~a year ago~

Then got bored and deleted, bc was playing non stop

Now I want to get back in and play non stop again to get bored again.

slim kayak
#

You're gonna have to wait unfortunately. There was an access wipe, so anyone who played before June can't play in beta rn

spark lance
#

:( when it wil happen? I will put a reminder

slim kayak
#

We dont know SkyShrug

open lava
#

Theres no announcement on when the next wave is open

kindred fossil
#

you have the beta invites role, you'll be pinged once invites are being handed out

#

until then, you can only wait

lyric kite
#

The next invite wave probably won't be for around a couple months still though (or at least several weeks). They'll start testing for the next season once the current season in live is ending or close to ending

spark lance
#

:( I was reinstalling sky sokme times during my period of non stop playing, one time when it said to update playmarket refused to do it, it was one of things that made me stop playing it.

#

Okay, so I didnt know I had invite role, I will wait then.

slim kayak
#

Oh... there was a wipe then too I think

#

That might have been why you couldn't update?

spark lance
#

I cant play live too btw, (and dont even want because I wont have stuff I earned)

slim kayak
#

If you cant play live, you ask around in #questions-and-help maybe? But if you played before July 2019, you'd have to start over in beta anyways

#

Beta isn't a substitute for live because sometimes its impossible to collect everything during seasons. You can have your items wiped at anytime. Live is much better

open lava
#

And when playing Beta, progress wipe can happen anytime so better not get attached to Beta stickerHeart

#

Beta purpose is to test about new stuff. For general playing, better play in Live since everything is more polished.

What did the beta cape look like that the beta testers got in 2018?

ooohhh! Cool!

I might have a photo somewhere, if you want to see. But it's probably difficult to tell the difference without a comparison side by side.

We are looking for some additional information on the following issue:

If anyone has experienced an increase in device overheating in recent builds compared to Live, please consider submitting a bug report in #beta-bugs-ios or #beta-bugs-android.

This is what beta is always like

One large update with seasonal goodies and then fine tuning after that

Everyone's interested in the new shiny stuff when the boring daily testing after the shiny new testing smell wears off is often more important for the health of the game.

#

The cutscene after you complete the last treasure hunting quest on sanctuary looks cooler now that there is going to be a whole WHALE flying around the island. The whole place is more lively now!

I thought the whale isn’t sticking around? Did I miss an update that added that?

hollow compass

Yeah, I thought it was just making a temporary appearance for the cut scene.

I dont know im just judging based on what i saw on the vid that is posted on #beta-announcements but if the whale isnt sticking around you bet im making a bell msyelf and call her to stay FOREVER ON SANCTUARY PERIODT✨

Please don't ping someone several hours later just to quote them, and especially not TGC staff.

vapid briar
#

Yeah, shiny was a figure of speech stickerShiny

#

Rose, i don't think there's anything specific to test controller-wise. The controls scheme has been pretty set in stone for a very long time. There is no custom button-mapping or anything like that, only inverting camera and controls options. Switch development may warrant testing and feedback, but that's a bit of a different beast due to different processes than mobile platforms.

Peeps in gen chat wishing for an in game translator when little do they know that one has been in testing for a while already pSkyPeek

rocky solar
#

in-game translator is pretty good i have to say. At least I think it's pretty good at translating chinese to english.

slim kayak
#

It is pretty good! However, it seems to be a bit hard to figure out how to get the button to pop up sometimes

fresh crater
#

I do think the translator is very helpful, should get it to live

slim kayak
#

Pretty sure that they're planning on it SkyLOL
From the patch notes, it seems like they're making sure certain languages are accurate before releasing it to live

I hope so I use it so much in beta, all ways looking for it in live, then I remember. 🤣 pAww

Where is the ts this time?

edgy canopy
#

Having the in game translator in live would be great, sometimes I become a third wheel as I watch two of my friends have a discussion in a different language

hollow compass
#

The translator seems to work for a lot of languages. The main issue is you can say some really rude words in one language and when translated into English, the filter doesn't catch it.

Sorry but can i ask that, on hidden forest constellation whale call, we have to proceed but need 99asc... Is that known issues? I already report about it, but i just want to know, cuz my friend mistaking it to be a way for go ||capeless|| somehow..

I just want to clear this misunderstood is all.. thank you :"

hollow compass
#

It is correct. The item costs 99 ac and then 999 hearts to unlock. But it is also not meant to be unlocked and the spirit is mainly used as a placeholder for these type of joke items or items meant to be somewhere else. (The Lightseeker umbrella was there at one point also.)

Do we know when they are going to announce Sky for other platforms?

#

Or have they announced it before

lyric kite
#

There are no announced release dates for other platforms yet. All we know is they are working on getting it out on Switch either later this summer or sometime this year (but no confirmed date yet)

#

After that, they've said they have plans to get it released on other platforms eventually as well, but again no exact timeframe for that

Does the beta have whatever all the bells unlock?

the season has ended, so yes, the sanctuary is complete. know that what is in beta can change before going to live

The devs have been fixing it language by language so far, so it seems likely that it will come to live. But don't take my word for it

Yeah I noticed that in the patch notes. Seems like it would be a waste to not bring to live so I hope its just refinement before they implement it ^^

There are also issues with the translations bypassing the filter, which is not so good.

You don’t need to buy items in beta either, all of the base cosmetics don’t need to be tested

wild shore

#

There's no such item in game for now

#

They might just put it there for legal purpose

#

Or referring to adventure pass

wild shore
#

And the No Warranty section.
Idk why but the whole CAPS paragraph sound abit funny

lyric kite
#

A lot of it is legal stuff that has to be worded a specific way because of legal definitions of things

#

If it's not worded properly it can cause problems when it comes to things like lawsuits and all that stuff

wild shore
#

True

slim kayak
#

To add to the conversation above, beta does not have candle packs because all iap are free for testing purposes. If we had candle packs we would no longer need to play the game, which we need to do to find bugs.

#

Just a reminder that the point of beta isnt to collect everything, as fun as that is. We play the game to find bugs and help make the live game better pSkyHeart

If you mean the emotes in this server, they are either in-game icons, art made by TGC or art used with the permission of the original artist. The official ones are copyright of TGC so you cannot use them elsewhere, and if you want the community ones you'd have to ask permission of the artists

Or is that the name of their seasonal pass? Cause i have the orange fluffy cape

The Gratitude Fur Cape Pack was available for purchase in the store during rhythm, people paid real money for the white fluffy cape and the red garuda mask. You can get the white fluffy cape but only if it returns as a travelling spirit. SkySalute

#

I’ve been wondering whether it’ll feature at all. I guess it wouldn’t be surprising, since they brought back the swing spells for purchase w in-game currency

lyric kite
#

They haven't said that it won't come back as a traveling spirit (and actually it did show up as a glitch once before for people who hadn't updated). So I think it's probably in the pool, it just hasn't been selected yet

minor robin
#

Swings are a back item too that were available for a brief time as an in-app purchase. I don’t think it’s in the nature of TGC or Sky to totally bar people from getting items that used to be widely available. (charity stuff being the exception so far.)

What kind of apps are you guys using to measure phone temp? Or is there a feature for that already that I'm not aware of?

minor robin
#

I play live on ios but I use android for beta. I use an app called “GSam Battery Monitor”. For ios you can see a graph of your battery % in the settings buut internal temperature isn’t available data. My friend tried looking and she said the only decent ios temp measuring app costs $4 usd sqwarlockDed

slim kayak
#

Any recs for android?

minor robin
#

Today I did a full solo candle run through prairie, forest (only had help getting into the sunny forest cavern) and valley.

#

I am beta android, I’m using GSam Battery Monitor....... tho this is just a comfort thing. It was recced to me a while ago, the timestamps could use improvement but overall I like it a lot. If I plug in my phone charger the line on the graph goes green, when I unplug it goes blue and I immediately start playing sky. That’s how I can accurately know when my start time is.

slim kayak
#

I'll take a look at it stickerHeart my phone has been getting really toasty, but the temp feels different between live and beta so wanna see if that is actually the case

minor robin
#

I def recommend starting at a similar baseline temperature so your readings can be accurate. So maybe play live and do one candle run in a realm, then wait several hours and do the same thing on beta.

Just tested my temp. Started at 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Just 5 min into forest (entered 2nd area), it hit 100. It seems to stay at roughly 100-105 f for the rest of forest. My phone sure got toasty fast

minor robin
#

Whoaaa that’s intense pEyes Ok so for my beta vs. live runs I’ve been noting down the times and when I enter new areas, and I’ve marked them on the screenshot of the temperature graph, then I submit it to the #beta-bugs-android SkyTada

That’s a really stark difference to mine... it took me 15min to hit 37 celsius/98.6 F, then it kinda plateaued. Lool this is why I have 🍳 in my name right now ahahaa

slim kayak
#

I'm definitely gonna keep taking notes on temperature tomorrow. I was really surprised at how fast my phone heated up. I was sure it took longer SkyShrug

#

I have a relatively new phone too... and I have game booster to limit overheating so it's strange that my phone is getting so hot

minor robin
#

Okay... now that I’m looking over my bug-report I forgot to mention some critical stuff in my report that could affect battery graphs sqwarlockDed g-guys don’t be like mee:

  • FPS/Graphic setting. How many lightning bolts? (30fps and 1 lightning bolt for me)
  • sound volume or if your device is mute (minimum for me, one notch away from mute)
  • I forgot Americans prefer Fahrenheit. I gave temp in Celsius.

Haloo there! It seems Android live is somehow able to use vertical/portrait mode. I saw a friend of mine using portrait mode in live Android. I know it is not official yet in live but just wondering if anyone have noticed this.

pulsar belfry
#

excuse meee may i ask about how can i get the invisible cape?
Thanksss

copper bison
#

i don't even think beta android has portrait mode yet, (can't check right now) so live android i dunno. i haven't seen it anywhere on android so far, beta and live.

you get the invisible cape by buying it from the forest whale call spirit in beta. it's past the 99 wingbuff lock and costs 999 hearts.

pulsar belfry
#

oic thanks for your answer lol

slim kayak
#

Hmm... yeah graphics are probably a huge indicator on how fast the battery drains and how fast the phone heats up. I always play with 2 lightnings, with sound in between mute and mid

hidden quarry
#

my phone heats up real fast with 60fps, crisp graphics though pFIRE~~phoneFIRE emote when ~~

hollow compass
#

I also did some testing during the past weekend and for me HD 30fps got the phone way too hot, but 60fps mainly ate battery. I play on iOS.

#

However, I do notice a difference in certain environment; mainly clouds making the device heat up both in beta and Live.

#

Btw, re portrait mode on Android: I think some devices have a built in portrait mode that overrides the game somehow, but may also cause stretching.

minor robin
#

I noticed that too on my phone! Prairie in particular increases my phone’s temperature a ton too. Tomorrow I’m going to test there too, today was focused on forest’s battery performance in beta vs. live.

#

Funny thing: beta was so empty that I got kinda spooked seeing a rando skykid in prairie cave pFIRE I think they had closed app?? They were grey, faceless... floating in midair and twitching a ton and it freaked me out for 2 seconds ohNOreo

hollow compass
#

Eek! Yes, that happens sometimes. I always try to light up anyone I see in beta, just to say hi and bow to them.

minor robin
#

It was at that cave exit too... where the light’s shining in... so I didn’t see them until they were SUPER UP CLOSE. stickerShock

slow gyro
#

I'm sorry suddenly. Is it a bug to be able to take screenshots on a portrait screen?(I'm used Translation)

spark lance
#

from the last update i can confirm that for iphone6 at least the temperature becomes consistently warm rather than burning up in the first 5 minutes of gameplay, but even in some locations i can feel my phone stress from 30fps including prairie, forest, and the valley races, bonus points if i have a a music app like spotify running in the background. It has gotten a lot better though

hollow compass
#

If you are in iOS beta you can play and take photos in portrait mode now.

slow gyro
#

oh,Thanks

fresh crater
#

I play on iPhone XS and iPad Pro, has never heated up on me I over 1 year

That’s with graphics turned all the way up 3 lightning bolts, and in live and beta. I’ve tested for days in both games my batteries did not drain and my phone and my iPad never got hot I find no issues here

Is your sound on or do you have any other specific settings? It’s super interesting that it seems to be so different.

I recommend this game to have the mute button for the game's music because of the recent Vincent Diamante audio copyright.

Once my phone heated up pretty badly the first time I played Beta for about 30 mins, but then it stopped the next day

@brittle jasper that’s a very thoughtful suggestion but unfortunately this isn’t quite the right channel to post it here. Ktjn does browse through this chat but only to address some concerns regarding beta play. #wishlist-and-ideas-archived is the best place for your suggestion stickerCelebrate

minor robin
#

I’ve done some searching and... for Android’s “Gsam Battery Monitor” still looks like the most solid app for measuring internal temperature and battery %. Lot of other apps have so-so graphs or none at all or they require a person to root their phone... which is super not recommended here. SkyWhew

Been two months any android peeps got access ?

Ktjn has said that that the issue affecting android players is only a small amount of beta players, there’s still nothing they can do about it

minor robin
#

Btw if you guys are on iOS >> settings >> battery health.
There will be a 24hr graph that tracks the %.
I recommend briefly plugging in your charger so you can get that big green bar to appear on the graph, then unplug and start your testing. At least this can visually indicate exactly when you start playing sky stickerPlease

With each new Adventure Pass season, we will do a fresh wave of Beta Tester invites to help us test the season. (...) In the interest of fairness, we will reset everyone’s Beta access (but won’t generally reset friends or progress) when we conduct all new Beta invite waves.

Confession: I usually play live on my ipad pro, and briefly on my phone, so I’m not very aware of where people encounter the most overheating.SkyThink I know places with clouds usually heat up a ton but have you guys encountered any unexpected places that heat up your devices? Earlier this week me and a friend discovered that spamming SkyBOO really can hike up temperature

also hope you guys are compiling bug reports for this, let’s feed the team tasty tasty data!!

Oh how I wish they remodel the current home into Aviary

minor robin
#

I’ve seen screenshots and vids and.... ngl Aviary doesn’t look very kind to people’s batteries. On one hand it’s a cool hub with a lot of space that encourages a lot of socializing, on the other hand cloud rendering burns through batteries and heats up phones. So as sky is right now... it’d be a bit of a trade off for some people: do I hang out with my friends chillin at hypothetical-Aviary? Or do I go do candle runs and miss the fun?? Battery drain would make this decision even harder to compromise or even have time to experience both.

Is there any chance, that I am going to be able to download the beta app? Since two month, it says I'm beta tester, but at the same time it says, the beta program is full. I know many people have asked, but its two month now, and I only want to know, if theres any hope. 🙃

you can try the instructions in #beta-faq but if those don't work it's unlikely you'll be able to get in this beta testing season and actually test in game. you'll have to wait for the next access wipe to try for beta again unfortunately.

raven kiln
#

@copper bison thank you for your quick answer ^^
Am I automatically a beta tester in the next season or do I have to get in again?

copper bison

when an access wipe happens, everyone loses access to beta so you have to join via invite wave. this is so newer testers can have a chance to join and it's not just the same people. so yes, you'll have to join with an invite again.

I don't know if I should ask here but I have been filing bug reports where my sky kid will blink (glitch) as I enter sanctuary for beta (and this problem is present in live ;w;) but it seems like it's not being fixed after several updates as well orz. Should I try re-installing beta app or should I wait till the dev figures things out for the next update?

minor robin
#

It’s best to wait for the next update, fixing bugs can be very complicated. There’s a lot of different factors as to why a bug you’ve reported hasn’t been fixed:

  • might be a lower priority compared to another bug that seriously/severely affects the gameplay of a ton of players
  • it might be only happening to people with certain devices, which is a head scratcher and devs gotta figure it out
  • there’s seriously a ton of bugs to deal with and with a team of 30ish people, they have to spend hours working on each one
  • working from home also affects communication between the team

so please don’t feel ignored or discouraged that a bug you reported earlier hasn’t been dealt with SkyPray as long as it’s reported in the correct channels, the devs are aware of it and will get to it when they can SkyTada

spark grail
#

I just hope it's fixed soon ;w; I know it's a hard time for everyone but it's been a issue that has been bothering me ever since the release of sanctuary stickerGloomy But I kind of think it is my specific device going through this bug since the other phone I use seemed to be fine, considering how it have lower specs

I’m curious, is happening only when you enter the map? When does it stop flickering? stickerHuh

spark grail

It is happening when I enter the map only, it will start when I get close to the edge of the cliff when you first enter the map and it will flicker until I get to the main island.

so i guess it could have happened while you were speed running

cobalt hare
#

True

rocky solar
#

OHhh

#

there is actually a bug in sanctuary that makes people to not be able to hold hands for long time

#

the crab cave spirit is the one causing the problem, that thing keep activating and makes people not be able to hold hands

#

I think it's probably because of the light source, since light source breaks the hand hold(in this case that effect is affecting everyone in that particular server with the bugged spirit)

cobalt hare
#

YES, THAT'S EXACTLY IT!

#

It starts with the cave and then affects me the rest of the time I'm there

Aeras, alot

olive tide
#

The social media constellation is gone too

#

I also tested the manta kidnapping. So far I’ve been kidnapped by both mantas that’s fly through the right island and center island when I remain next to the lit white candles

#

I was also kidnapped by the right island manta when standing on top of the bell (photo in #beta-screenshots-videos to clarify), but was not kidnapped by the center island manta while standing on top of the bell.

#

Should I bug report, if most people aren’t experiencing kidnappings at all?

kindred fossil
#

i did some further testing in both live & beta, and it's actually nothing new

wild shore
#

previous build 4 mantas hovering, new build three.

kindred fossil
#

the 4th manta is hovering up high for some reason, i spotted it

wild shore
#

Before update it was hovering with other 3

kindred fossil
#

exactly, it ascended into a different plane

olive tide
#

Just saw your vids dark. Idk why I was kidnapped nearly every time I tested.

kindred fossil
#

not moved even an inch?

olive tide
#

I don’t believe so

#

I can do more tests. Perhaps it’s necessary to compile more data

kindred fossil
#

that's weird, slight movement does get me kidnapped though

minor robin
#

..honestly I’m gonna send in feedback and request less manta-napping. Would be nice if the effect had a timer or something and only turns on after they’ve started circling in the center. But idk, who knows what’s the easiest/most practical fix through the coding SkyWhew

#

Why must I quake in fear when I hear that call in the distance lmao

olive tide
#

It would certainly be nice to be able to move around and burn stuff rather than pause everything to either fly up or stay perfectly still

minor robin
#

LOL so my theory is: either the local animals are very helpful or they just want to yeet us outta their realm

ebon vector
#

I do appreciate that cutscene skipping is now working in that area.
Update: Worked just once, subsequent attempts did not skip.

olive tide
#

Maybe bc the local animals are made of light and the children consume light pEyes

kindred fossil
#

considering you get yeeted so far up when you try to escape manta-napping, i think it's the latter

minor robin
#

Omggg I gotta hop on and see that later. I’ve been dying for that fix pCry I hated that the unskippable cutscene made me low-key resent other players for tripping it... even tho it’s not malicious. I hated that I felt that way on a daily basis.

olive tide
#

Well it’s definitely frustrating. I didn’t notice that they changed that, I’ll have to check it out

minor robin
#

I don’t wanna hate on curious moths for just being curious. They don’t know what they’re putting other people thru. Or that other players have different burn order preferences

ebon vector
#

I got very good at burning all the darkness without lighting the candles. A skill I am happy to dispense with.

kindred fossil
#

does it really skip properly? i just tested it out and they are still present. do you have any recordings of the proper skip?

ebon vector
#

I can try it again and grab a screen recording. Maybe it was a fluke

kindred fossil
#

keep in mind, the only cutscene that's currently skippable in that area is the last cutscene

ebon vector
#

Yeah, it was the first two that skipped properly earlier. Not so much when I tried again just now. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up.

kindred fossil
#

that's a shame... but thank you for checking again 🙏

vale shale
#

maybe the team could code in a benchmark? it might be possible to reuse the cutscene tech so the path is kept constant every time

vapid briar
#

The reason some cutscenes are skippable and others aren't has to do with how they were built into the engine. The team is working on improving this, but it's going to take a while to sort it out and essentially rework how the whole thing is constructed from the ground up.

#

The ones we've made skippable were easy to implement, the remaining ones are still on our radar.

..Maybe when prairie cutscene triggers... I’ll do something irl to cope with it. Like push ups pFIRE

||hello does capeless exist to be purchased in beta or live?||

The invisible cape does exist in beta, but you need 99 ascended candles and then 999 hearts to get it, so not very many people actually have it

It won't be available in the live version any time soon though, if at all. It's kind of just an easter egg item

The game both in live and beta doesn't only crash when taking pictures in sanctuary but also crashes when changing the graphics settings. The crash can occur if you are or if you have been in sanctuary and has encountered lags, that's how it works for me atleast.

So in beta before we have seen the whale in the 3rd/4th bell quest. When i was completing my bell quest in my another account with a clone app (i dont link it to a Google account), i noticed that the whale is turned into another mega manta. Can someone explain this? pPopcorn

hollow compass
#

First of all, you are using a clone app to have a parallel account in beta? I kind of don't think that's ok by the ToS.

#

Secondly, I think the final quest was indeed changed in a later patch.

cobalt hare
#

Against the ToS SkyLOL

#

I don't see why it would be considering it's a feature built into many OS

#

The idea is that if you have two people using the same device they can use separate apps without having to coordinate logging in and out. Most of the time it's called "parallel apps".

#

Smurfing is regular occurrence in most games anyways. Sometimes you just wanna be a moth again.

#

Even if it was against ToS it's virtually unenforceable, so the only thing that would prevent is us from talking about it in this here official discord.

spark lance
#

Someone know how to report a bug in the beta? I’m an iOS player and my game crashes when I try to go to the forgotten ark, before the animation my screen turns black and I can move my character and fly and all (I know that because the sounds) but I can’t se anything

#

Someone can help me?

pine remnant
spark lance
#

Thanks

hollow compass
#

@cobalt hare Of course I understand that it can be beneficial to have a parallel “moth” account for testing reasons. But the ToS does advice against having multiple accounts for various reasons. In beta, I think it’s mostly frowned upon because there are limited spots available. I’m only referring to what has been stated here on the server many times before. SkyBow

mighty estuary
#

:O thanks for the reply belpita and rileypPineapplePizza

#

I don't clone the beta btw just the live

#

I think having a second beta account is uselesspPopcorn

spark lance
#

If we need to be moth again for testing a new update, there will probably be a progress wipe

storm vessel
#

I just don't see why there will be the need to test having everyone as a moth in the future unless they are testing new platform or something but most of us are not using the new platform...

#

Unless they want to reboot sky of course

radiant drum
#

If any important aspect of the gameplay is changed it would be important for us to test it regardless of platform. Last progress wipe had changes in the economy, perhaps they change something about the flight system or tutorials in the future and want to see how new accounts (no candles, no winged light etc) react to it

storm vessel
#

With the current settings for access wipe every season. It's quite likely that there will be some new people with new beta accounts to test though.

#

Ok, may be if they want to test instantly.

spark lance
#

Dunno if someone already gave the answer but I remember the 5th or the 4th bell quest summoned a whale in beta... But in live there's only manta... Any explanation?

toxic oasis

I think is because as we saw on the last bell the wake is summoned again. So probably they just postponed :)

@icy falcon do you crash between sunny and bridge with your OP 7 Pro on beta? I don't have enough spirits to test it

But it happens to me every time on live

Prairie, Valley and Waste was safe no moth bug there. Also boat to ark works like a dream in beta compared to liveSkyYay

I noticed that when I run with two or more friends I (or my friends) experience moth bug, but when I run with only one friend ,the friend holding onto me almost always turns into a moth for brief second and go back to normal(Im running back and forth between sunny and the map before the last area to relieve the spirits in forest).

question for people who do experience overheating phones: I did a candle run in prairie cave, and in beta I noticed my phone’s temp is fine going thru it... but in live is actually increased a bit. Has this happened to anyone else? Live wasn’t even that busy compared to beta, had 3 shadow kids just standing around at meditation rock, ship and exit.

lunar zealot
#

The few times I’ve been on for an extended period of time, Wyiott, live feels more hot in temperature compared to beta

wild shore
#

Not yet.

vapid briar
#

the overall server load is considerably lighter in beta than live, so even though an instance might be empty, the server that holds all the individual instances is busier.

minor robin
#

ohhh! I see pWow

#

.. makes me wonder how many musicians are in there practicing but in another instance SkyLOL

quaint onyx
#

So moth bug = going through level transition, and you appear as moth when level load? Or other people appear as moth? pThink

#

Does height change too? SkyShrug

minor robin
#

I realized I missed a word, Cave. Prairie cave is where I had the temperature uptick on a candle run in live, but not in beta SkyFaint

icy falcon
#

height actually does change back to moth height!

rocky solar
#

For me the height remained the same(before the moth bug), but if someone was wearing a chibi mask then that person went back to his normal size.

tender oasis
#

DrapTap i never saw myself as a moth just others i was holding hands with. Usually only one person experienced a bug at a time not everyone from the group. Also going through another gate helps to change back to normal again. Height changed when my friends had chibi mask on before bug, but thats logical. Since while the bug lasts there are no cosmetics on them so no chibi mask to make then shorter.

So those moth friends bug thing is probably due to the making of STAR functions of the pins?

It already happened in build 152126. Still happens in current build. Not using STAR function so not sure if that's a root cause.

No one is using the Star feature yet, because shipping isn’t until September.

If you notice the hole at the ball in the office, I doubt that has to do with the pins.

Draptrap: nah I'm just that extra lmao stickerShiny I am still working on the spreadsheet, all the info above the map is actually a screenshot from my spreadsheet. All I gotta do is input info in a big table on the first tab and everything else afterwards updates. Hopefully when it's done I can figure out a good safe way to let other ppl download and use.

Biggest cross platform hurdle tho.. Is that iOS does not have any free apps that measure internal temp and provides temp VS. Battery% graphs as detailed as android pCry

I guess... If any ios people want to be extremely extra they can get a temperature gun and literally aim it at their phone screeen in a consistent spot to measure physical temp

vapid briar

So those moth friends bug thing is probably due to the making of STAR functions of the pins?
That bug is completely unrelated to anything with STAR, the pin features only exist on internal versions of the game and are not included in the Live or Beta code at this time.

storm vessel
#

I see, thank you

#

Just seem similar to change all friend's cape or mask that's all

vapid briar
#

I think the cursed gate is somewhere in Forest that has been causing issues lately. The vast majority of crash issues are GPU- and memory-related issues based on your device's capabilities. Sky is as demanding as some PC and console games when it comes to graphics and when your device reaches its performance limit, the game will crash to protect any damage from occurring or your device freezing up due to lack of memory.

storm vessel
#

The caverns gate fails to open sometimes.

chrome vale
#

Me: updates game

Game: theres a new update

Me: but I already did-

vapid briar
#

Yeah, I can understand how appearance-wise it seems related, but it's actually an issue with the server "forgetting" what your character's appearance is temporarily because it cannot access the information so it reverts to a default/placeholder state until it can retrieve the information from the server once again.

olive tide
#

Oooh that’s interesting

Oh interesting

I think the switch port has the potential to be really good if they can squeeze everything they can out of the hardware. Helps that you're only optimizing for one (or two in the case of switch lite) device(s).

Looking at my notes, my phone didn't get any hotter than 101 degrees today, which is an improvement from 105

#

Still hot though

How do I leave beta testing? I don’t have time for it anymore and figure someone who does should take my place

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

Does the beta season go for as long as live version?

slim kayak
#

Nope. Its much shorter. I think there was only one instance where it lasted almost the same? But im probably wrong

#

The shortest only lasted 12 days, but that was because rhythm didn't need that much testing

What is a darkstone plant?

slim kayak
#

Dark plants, like the ones you see in forest and wasteland

#

And prairie too

#

You burn them? And get wax from them like candes

spark lance
#

As far as I know, those plants were called darkness. I am wondering if it is a particular type of darkness- like the huge ones or the smaller ones

slim kayak
#

Any of them. Darkstone was the original name way back pre launch. The models of the plants changed quite a bit since then, so the name changed

spark lance
#

Ooh! I get it now. Thanks a lot Aeras

It's called dark corrosion in Chinese Language

Funny, patch notes are basically saying: "Go do an Eden run, recollect your light and do some wax farming. Good old style!" SkyTada

yes, that i know @gilded parrot ..
but why the new update is misleading about departure time of t.s. when none have arrived 🙄

#

Is there any t.s. in beta in any other version or something?
cauz mine don't show any 😅🤣

do you mean the sleepy traveler Ruby?

the one that leads to the sky merch shop

its departure time has been updated because it was incorrect before, as it leaves on the 18th

Ruby, it doesn’t say TS, it says “sleepy traveller”.

I never had any crashing issues and didn’t see the moth outfit, but playing through Prairie now it seems mostly ok. Phone still gets a little hot on 60fps.

Adreno 506 doesn't support 60fps. 😩

Just a random question but does anyone know when TGC is going to release the game on Nintendo Switch?

manic sierra

soon

lyric kite
#

They were planning to have it ready for a Summer 2020 release, but that was before the pandemic became as bad as it did and they're still working from home. So it's possible there may be some delays, we don't have any additional information at this time other than it's still being worked on. No set release date yet

slim kayak
#

Can confirm that live still makes my phone go to 105 degrees. Ouch

#

But on the plus side, beta only hits 100. So... improvement yay! SkyTada

In Fahrenheit SkyLOL

It reached 153F beforestickerShock

My phone. Not sure with other models. Now it's at range so i'm glad

slim kayak
#

Haha i live in the US, so I normally use Fahrenheit. Tgc is also located in the US, so i use it in bug reports too. Although its probably not hard to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

Might wanna try other devices if i have time shopping in the phone store stickerShiny

#

Hey, for people getting the krill crash bug, can you still do Eden? pThink

latent palm
#

is it just me, or did the new 0.10.4 update make things worse?

#

cause I'm crashing on every black screen transition

slim kayak
#

I haven't experienced any crashes so far, but I'd definitely report it. Maybe make a list of every transition that you've crashed in

spark lance
#

Wait i have a question so theres a beta thingy about some cosmetic that has a 99 AC block?? I wanna know pEyes

radiant drum
#

You can learn more about it in the pins!

onyx thistle
#

People getting Actually Mad in general chat because someone said "there's an invisible cape in the beta that costs 999 hearts"

radiant drum
#

Or just searching invisible cape in: general-beta-discussion or similar in search

#

It's a beta only thing (for the time being, at least) so it's just important to keep information about it restricted from other channels to prevent misinformation or spoilers

#

Especially with a high price, it can be a bit scary for some to have that said to them and it could lead to potential criticism on TGC

spark lance
#

Oh my god im never buying that cape im a broke kiddo ;-;

onyx thistle
#

Okay if it wasn't a joke then I'll retract my statement but there's no way that's not a joke right?

radiant drum
#

Unfortunately has happened in the past, so we are strict about it and I apologize for that

#

Taking a read at the pinned message I linked above ^ explains it a bit. It's basically a beta joke yeah

spark lance
#

Oh its just a joke. Alright

radiant drum
#

From the pins:

It's meant to be a silly item and prohibitively expensive, which is why there was a 99 Ascended Candle lock tied to it as well as the 999 Heart cost. Not having a cape and being able to fly is immersion breaking and exposes some of the rigging wonkiness of the skykid character model. For the time being, it is only a beta easter egg.

onyx thistle
#

Huh

radiant drum
#

You can find a lot more context here in the beta channels, as well as in-game to see it in the shop if you have access to the beta, and that's why we disallow talking about it in the live channels

onyx thistle
#

Alright, my bad, I apologize

spark lance
#

;-;

lusty light
#

Also keep in mind that the cape was added to beta back in January

#

It’s really not going live any time soon

It struck me as too absurd to be real so I took everyone getting mad about it as A Bit Much, but, I was wrong

also i can technically do that cosplay in live 👀👀👀

I got it as well but I got charged so hard on shipping

austere merlin

Was it a joke from the start or was it going to be an actual thing when it first came to beta?

Not everything that gets added into beta is something that will go live

austere merlin

I know, I’m asking if it was always intended to be a joke

chrome vale
#

I was gonna get a pin but shipping brutally killed me

My dad refused to let me spend $45 on a crab pin

#

Even tho I have more than enough money, he won't allow it

#

But jokes on him, I've spent like $60 on the game already and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon, if I can't buy the crab pin I'll just buy endless candle packs

sorry for interrupting
have anyone experienced app crash with losing wing in Beta?
i heard one of the causes was the total of wings, like this
over 130: app crash
129 or less: safe
i’d like to test but i couldn’t collect enough wings in Beta...stickerGloomy

kindred bluff
#

i dont have that many wings in beta unfortunately!

limpid vapor
#

I’ve had the game crash when losing wings in live, and I do have 131 wings... so maybe that’s the reason!

kindred bluff
#

oo! i could try that in live, i have nearly 140 wings but i dont remember the amount

undone pilot
#

How long does it take to complete eden?

bold igloo
#

me too, app crashed when i had over 130 wings in live
i think few testers had enough wings and the bug didn’t occur frequently in beta🤔
thx for your info! i’ll test more in live

I think they'd be more pleased to send it to a bug report than to talk about speculation here🤔

Anyone know of something we could do to help with Switch? SkyShrug

I know they're waiting to release inbetween seasons, most likely

But we don't know if they're in a panic/race to finish, or if everythings s'coo and they're just waiting for season to finish SkyShrug

#

Oh yeah, android released right before Enchantment, didn't it?

quaint onyx
#

So worried that we haven't even seen like a screenshot or a twitter post of a dev playing it on a Switch SkyShrug

cobalt hare
#

My theory is that they're probably delayed. Waiting for the Summer release date on Nintendo's website to update to Fall.

quaint onyx
#

Think alot of the success of Sky Android in China was to do with how much people were seeing of the game

#

Back when beta had sooo many people from China playing the leaked apk

#

Hype and all that SkyTada

#

Guess its different, but its hard to build hype when you don't have something physical to hype SkyLOL

#

Sky Switch is still just a concept in everyone's minds SkyShrug

#

A demo, maybe? SkyShrug

#

Nah, that's silly. A demo of something that's already out SkyLOL

#

Oh, wait pEyes
I forgot, most of the leaked China APK players were stuck in isle pEyes

#

It was basically a demo pEyes

I’ve had 130 wings in beta for some time now (since Sanctuary testing started) and it never made my phone crash. I’m on an iPhone X, though. Isn’t crashing more prone on Androids?

wild shore
#

Really?

hollow compass
#

It’s just my general impression from reading bug reports and seeing comments here. I don’t know?

Yeah android crashing is much more common

My phone is pretty much the latest tech and even I crash

does anyone know what the tgc pin will do? Im asking here cause maybe beta players know-

cobalt hare

Nope, only tgc has that info.

The pins haven’t been sent out yet. I think shipping was in September. So no one would know, except TGC. And they also said, features may change or be added.

Previous build I don't have problems crashing when collected winged lights, haven't tried on current build yet.

Just did eden with 141 stars , no crashing. iOS that is

It seems there’s a huge increase in new players again ??

kindred fossil
#

in beta?

vapid drum
#

Yes , the crashing in eden didn’t happen to me

#

And yes , also the new players in beta 🤣

kindred fossil
#

it's either 3rd party testers or legitimate testers finally being able to download beta

That would be good news for the ones waiting that long already.

Is it hard to earn hearts in beta? Let alone 999 hearts?

hollow compass
#

well, yes nowadays it is, since not a lot of people are playing it,
but then again, you don't really have to collect anything either, so...

#

Most of the main testing for the game, ie spirits and realms, has already been done. Now it's more about optimisation and seasons.

You can ask right here! This is the beta channel

Can I ask when we will know the start of the development of the next season?

slim kayak

Well, I assume tgc is working on the next season right now. Beta won't get to test for about another month, however, if that's what you're asking

main wyvern

Does it mean that the next set of beta testers will be on October?

We dont know. I'm estimating the time because usually beta starts testing closer to the end of a season in live

I see, honestly I'm just really anxious on when the next season comes as I'm finding all ways so I can assure myself an adventure pass next season... The current season getting extended would be extremely in favor for me...

No moth bug , did a run from eden till wasteland , but solo. The moth bug I experienced in live was with friends
