A VERY useful Feature would be to auto collect wax from each section... now that worth the price of pins

strong canopy
#

there is no problem with the pin tho

hidden quarry
#

dont think it was ever intended to work, just as you cant go backwards in some other realms

lusty light
#

But you really could only backtrack in 3 temples and 1 of them you’re obviously not supposed to

strong canopy
#

we just find it funny and we're annoyed they remove a simple feature from us

lusty light
#

(Walks up to a closed door) (somehow gets back inside the temple)

karmic thistle
#

You can go back from Waste to Valley and they haven't touched it yet....untill a pin features it at least

lusty light
#

It wasn’t a feature it was just something they couldn’t fix until now

strong canopy
#

just to give value to an item they want to sell

hidden quarry
#

doesnt that defeat the purpose of playing the game. why not buy candle packs instead

karmic thistle
#

Blocking the wall is an easy fix but they never intended to...untill the really bad temple warp idea now

lusty light
#

There’s other things in the game that have been broken for a long time but they just don’t have time to fix it

copper bison
#

I think I've only ever backtracked a few times, and one was live moth not knowing that realm portals existed and thought only the isle portal existed.

I don't really mind the backtracking being removed, though again i never really used it sooo- pEyes

tiny umbra
#

Is backtracking back outside the temple, like say from prairie temple to the islands a not intended feature too? Cause I notice it’s not a thing in forest or wasteland, and I rely on it to farm sanctuary

minor robin
#

But like, it’s a pin that is first and foremost a pin/optional merch. It’s a nice physical thing to have but I appreciate that the STAR feature isn’t op or makes others feel left out. The price of the pins and shipping can be quite costly to some people. There’s also people who own devices that don’t have STAR capability

empty river
#

we shouldn't be angry that tgc is finally getting around to polishing the game

lusty light
#

Hide and seek for example has been broken for launch and no one even knows how it was supposed to function

strong canopy
#

well there are annoying broken things tho

lusty light
#

They’re a small dev team and there’s a lot of bugs but they have to focus on seasons instead of fixing things because then people will be mad that they’re not making content

strong canopy
#

"fixing" something that adds value to the items they wanna sell... weird

lusty light
#

Ktjn said they fixed the temple bug because it was causing confusion for new players

karmic thistle
#

Backtracking isn't a broken feature...it's part of the natural realm

empty river
#

its not natural to backtrack anywhere

#

it isnt a feature

strong canopy
#

im not really mad, i just find it's a not nice move

lusty light
#

Your first play through the game literally says you can’t backtrack until you finish the game

#

It wasn’t supposed to be a feature

karmic thistle
#

Then explain why you can backtrack from Waste to Valley....no pin yet that's why

tiny umbra
#

Well no ones really gonna think “oh well backtracking is gone, guess I’d better buy the pins”

strong canopy
#

people who would have hesitated will more likely be interested more than before in buying em

copper bison
#

Oh, the whole "you can't go back into <realm>" was supposed to be for beating the entire game then you could go back? Cause once I beat Valley it kinda just let me back into isle-

karmic thistle
#

Well pins need a better function....they seemed really suspicious with this one lol

tiny umbra
#

It’s not hard, to get to the prairie temple, ?

empty river
#

or they could just...fly to the temple. its not like tgc blocked access to the prairie temple lol

lusty light
#

I remember when I first started playing I got to wasteland and got scared so I wanted to go back to fun prarie land and it said No

karmic thistle
#

Backtracking makes the game feel fluid...I can choose where to go freely almost as if it was "open world"

worn field
#

yeah you can use portals once you finish valley, it must have changed at some point but i don't know exactly when. months ago i think

karmic thistle
#

Moths just stay on prairie lol

tiny umbra
#

I don’t think it changed, it wouldn’t be fair to force moths to finish wasteland before going back to sunny prairie 👀

minor robin
#

Definitely around January, I was a moth who got really terrified of krills so I just skated around valley rink ghfhfgfff visited prairie a little too

karmic thistle
#

I hope that wall is a beta only feature \🤭

worn field
#

kinda nice to give moths the choice to go through wasteland, i think
until you're done with valley tho, the game really encourages you to Keep Moving Forward

copper bison
#

the reason why i noticed it pretty quickly was because im one of those people who go "im not leaving this area until i get everything" and i left isle early without getting a spirit and when i tried to go back the game went "nope"

empty river
#

yea there's a neat little "you must finish your adventure" message

lusty light
#

Well when I was playing I was also anxious about getting everything but that was before constellation gates and such were preventing me from getting overwhelmed

minor robin
#

Mr. Wall: This would be something to submit to #beta-feedback with a lot of reasoning + support for your opinion. Ktjn mentioned people were literally getting stuck with backtrack and that’s why they fixed it

karmic thistle
#

yea there's a neat little "you must finish your adventure" message
@empty river that's fine as a new player...but as an older players you use it to fast farm the maps

copper bison
#

that stopped when i got krilled twice in wasteland though, then i just got scared and ran into vault as fast as possible pEyes

lusty light
#

But if you’re already farming the maps wouldn’t you just go from the beginning ?

empty river
#

why not just finish prairie if youre farming?

karmic thistle
#

I honestly backtrack a lot from the already available maps

rustic imp
#

If I’m candle farming then o do prairie from the start and forest from the start. No back track needed

karmic thistle
#

I've been farming from beginning to end....now I go from end to beginning xD

lusty light
#

But why would you do that lol

rustic imp
#

How do you do vault though

minor robin
#

One thing I do use for the forest to pairie backtrack: U-turn of shame cause I forgot a candle cake lmaoo

karmic thistle
#

Makes the game fun and interesting... keeps the farming adventure alivr

lusty light
#

Also vault is The level where backtrack isn’t even an option

copper bison
#

yeah, vault-wasteland is just a dead end

karmic thistle
#

If they would have fixed it at any other time oh well then....cry a river somewhere else....but with the pin it's all too suspicious xD

lusty light
#

You can’t even buy the pins anymore

hidden quarry
#

i dont think they fixed this bug just to spite people

tiny umbra
#

that stopped when i got krilled twice in wasteland though, then i just got scared and ran into vault as fast as possible pEyes
@copper bison as a moth I literally made eye contact with the lookout scout but with everything I read I got so scared about the gate opening I did Not want to take that chance, so I walked past them

karmic thistle
#

Like a i said earlier....when they introduced the star feature... everyone said they could just go back from Forest....big RIP cuz devs said....ohhh wise guys uh

slim kayak
#

Best time to fix things is in between beta seasons. Makes sure that us tester are always bug hunting pFIRE

copper bison
#

yeah, krills are pretty scary first time you play as long as you don't get spoiled

tiny umbra
#

People said the same (though opposite) thing about the lightseekers cape pin and the shush spirit coming as a ts around the same time, it’s not influenced by the pins

lusty light
#

It’s not like tgc is rubbing their little dev hands somewhere trying to figure out what will make the community hate them next

karmic thistle
#

Lol almost %99 of people already got the cape cuz of TS....that feature really needs a do over or something xD

lusty light
#

But the point of buying the pins is to have a pin

#

The features is a bonus

#

It’s not even compatible with all devices

tiny umbra
#

And I’m sure the weasel mask pin is gonna give us weasel masks even though that ts has come twice, it’s just a cool pin

karmic thistle
#

I'm not referring to the pins itself...they are beautiful on their own, I meant the Star Feature and it possible affecting some aspects of the game
possible

lusty light
#

Saving a few minutes isn’t really affecting gameplay

slim kayak
#

Honestly I just think the pins look cool. Plus people will be like "woah cool pin where's that from" and then i can tell them to play sky SkyLOL

lusty light
#

It’s not like they just straight up locked the temples

copper bison
#

i think the pins are cool by themselves, i wouldn't buy it cause the feature. i'd buy it cause it's cool. (it's not even compatible with my device.)

it doesn't effect too much, just shaves off a few minutes of whatever you need to do with it.

empty river
#

this just in prairie temple doesnt exist anymore

karmic thistle
#

I already bought one btw xD

tiny umbra
#

Man I wish, that weasel pin is so pretty SkyDontGo

slim kayak
#

No going to temple for your spirits. Go straight to eden SkyPoint

karmic thistle
#

Useful pin feature:
Collects wax from each section you are in...now that
Shut up and take my money.jpg

tiny umbra
#

And the isle pin is also a thing, chances are it’ll take us straight to isle temple too, which would be, useful, and possibly in the future so would the other temples

slim kayak
#

But wouldn't that make it an unfair advantage? Tgc doesn't want their iap to be like that

hidden quarry
#

i thought of the pins more as something solid to express your love for the game, and the features were just a fun addition

slim kayak
#

Or well, purchases in general

empty river
#

also theyre pins
their main function: pin

worn field
#

i think the devs want to avoid pay-to-win things like that... also, why would they sell something that discourages you from actually playing around in the levels

tiny umbra
#

That’s why lantern doesn’t heal over time either

#

Cool stuff > major advantage

copper bison
#

if you could automatically get wax from each section of the game that'd kinda be like if beta had candle iap open but you could only buy <insert amount of wax you can get each day, it's around like 17 or 18 cause wasteland sundays and decimal points that i'm too lazy to include> each day

#

but you'd have to buy the pin i guess

karmic thistle
#

If lantern doesn't heal....should be half price then tbu

hidden quarry
#

they specifically stated they didn’t want items to be pay to win

slim kayak
#

Lantern is that price for the time and effort the devs spent making it. Plus whatever google and apple takes too

karmic thistle
#

There is no WIN in this game though

lusty light
#

There’s nothing to “win” but the devs still don’t want people to feel pressured to spend money or else they’ll be “lesser” than someone

copper bison
#

if lantern healed that'd kinda be extremely overpowered in places like gw and eden, and it's based off the effort put into making the item.

empty river
#

yea because having an op item isnt an advantage at all

karmic thistle
#

How is that op and/or different from the fireplace chair? \🥴

lusty light
#

Even the instruments, some people ask for an area that requires you to play a song to get in but jenova Chen said no because he doesn’t want people to feel like they have to buy an item or miss out

tiny umbra
#

I think that’s also why there’s a smaller ts version of the umbrella, as well as an actually bonfire spell if you’re about to compare those

hidden quarry
#

bonfire forces u to stop lol

empty river
#

you cant walk with the bonfire constantly recharging you + cooldown

karmic thistle
#

Bonfire/lantern should be equal

#

bonfire forces u to stop lol
@hidden quarry same....lantern only heats you up if standing still and at a slower rate

tiny umbra
#

Well one was a season ultimate and the other is for 20 dollars

empty river
#

you used to be able to move around a lit bonfire and they fixed because guess what? too op

steady pond
#

the only gripe i have with the lantern is the fact that we only know it cant burn plants because it was said by ktjn in the discord server, i feel like most people would buy it assuming it could burn plants too and putting information as important as that on just discord seems weird to me

karmic thistle
#

TGC lurking.....devs: write all that down .jpg lol

lusty light
#

The item isn’t even out yet why would they advertise its features elsewhere

tiny umbra
#

I need to candle run, bye bye y’all

steady pond
#

because... they released a news section detailing how we're gonna have a lantern on twitter...?

karmic thistle
#

Lantern needs a useful Feature for it's price tag honestly...I'm still buying it though xD

hidden quarry
#

stuff in beta is subject to change any time before live release

lusty light
#

News on a item would come out when the items releases

#

The blog post was just a teaser

rapid trench
#

new stuff in beta?

hidden quarry
rustic imp
#

Currently I haven’t found a need to buy the one off cosmetics and that’s ok. If others want them sure they have it. I don’t need to get it

karmic thistle
#

So far the lantern on beta does absolutely nothing lol...besides looking sort of nice-ish

stiff delta
#

I’m also buying it that lantern really helps in ship yard up those pipes

steady pond
#

yes but you cant deny people would be hyped and want to spend money because they assumed something that lights candles would also be able to burn plants. i dont think being clear about how it CANT beforehand, to manage expectations is a bad thing in any way?

rustic imp
#

The lantern does look cool and has more functionality that other cosmetics already but I’m on the fence. I don’t need it rn

hidden quarry
#

you can choose not to spend ur money in it. no one forcing u

karmic thistle
#

What's it's functionality you speak of \🤔

slim kayak
#

The biggest feature of the lantern is the light.

hidden quarry
#

lighting candles and lighting the way

stiff delta
#

I’d like it to recharge you light tho

copper bison
#

you can hold the lantern while flying unlike candle

lusty light
#

Things can change in development which is why they never announce full features and details of things before it happens

karmic thistle
#

So far all it does is have a slight bigger glow than our regular pocket candle

hidden quarry
#

it has a pretty big glow

slim kayak
#

Its actually much bigger

stiff delta
#

Yes really nice glow in the maze at valley

steady pond
#

precisely, so saying that as of current they cant burn plants or open gates but may in the future, to manage expectations, would be great!

lusty light
#

I’m not sure if it’s fair to be mad at the devs for their own assumptions though, people are mad that the manta cape isn’t what they wanted it to look like

rapid trench
#

is the 999 hearts capeless gonna be lowered?

lusty light
#

Read the pins

rustic imp
#

Yess I can fly in the maze while seeing where I’m goingggg

karmic thistle
#

Just use a glow spell and it's even stronger

empty river
#

not really

stiff delta
#

No I don’t like the glow spell lol

lusty light
#

Don’t u like being a shiny boi

karmic thistle
#

If you don't like the glow effect...you won't like the lantern glow then...?

rustic imp
#

I don’t like being blinded by the glowing kid

stiff delta
#

No I do a lot of screen shots and being a glow worm dosent look good lol

lusty light
#

But

rustic imp
#

The lantern is so much softer. It’s actually lighting just your surroundings

slim kayak
#

I mean... glow spell is the free alternative to lantern SkyShrug so if you're really upset about it, don't get it. It doesnt hinder gameplay or give you an advantage. It just looks cool

lusty light
steady pond
#

TGC has made it clear that they want to communicate better with the players so I really dont see any downside to simply saying something that would cause less backlash lols

hidden quarry
#

the lantern glow is a soft warm glow, i love it. totally different vibe than glow spell

karmic thistle
#

I still think lantern should recharge you at the cost of standing still and a slower rate

copper bison
#

I've always been very reluctant to use any spells, in fact I've only used one anti-grav spell in live. In beta I used firework and shrink for testing purposes so I've never actually used glow, no idea what it looks like

lusty light
stiff delta
#

U never know they may make it to recharge

karmic thistle
#

Also...if on wasteland and instant krill target attack lol

lusty light
#

Glow spell makes you look like when you select a player to open their constellation but a little brighter

stiff delta
karmic thistle
#

Oh you wanna use lantern on wasteland? Well make sure you know how to dodge krillpHelloKrill

hidden quarry
#

it doesnt make you an easier target for krills though?

karmic thistle
#

It Should xD

stiff delta
#

Ohhhhhh yeh I tested that a krill loves that lantern

hidden quarry
#

ok

slim kayak
#

Tgc specifically said in the updates that they didnt want it to feel pay to win with a recharge though

karmic thistle
#

Krill sees lantern from outside their target reticule: are you challenging me?

stiff delta
#

Anyone know when the new invites will be going out lol

lusty light
#

No and the devs won’t say to prevent camping

copper bison
#

if you're holding lantern in wasteland with krills in the map they automatically teleport to you and spot you pPopcorn

We never know when they come, they just do.

stiff delta
#

Lol ok

lusty light
#

Just get the beta invite role and you will be pinged

karmic thistle
#

No and the devs won’t say to prevent camping
@lusty light then where does the campfire fit into?

stiff delta
#

I can vouch for that

lusty light
#

What I said has nothing to do with the campfire or lantern ?

empty river
#

not that kind of camping lololol

stiff delta
#

How do I get pinged I’m sort of new to that lol

karmic thistle
#

Lol

lusty light
#

Just go to #beta-faq and follow the instructions

stiff delta
#

Thanks

rapid trench
#

in beta there are these boats and I just want to know where I can write something down so I my beta friends can see my message too?

slim kayak
#

Any place that has water, you can place a boat on. Except for valley ice rink, thats not actually water

rapid trench
#

how do I place a boat?

lusty light
#

You have to buy the spells from the spell shop

#

And then use it when you’re in the water

slim kayak
#

The boat is where your spells are. Just drag to place one down

rapid trench
#

there's no new area in beta?

#

I heard you guys talk about a lantern?

#

where do I get that?

hidden quarry
#

in the iap shop

minor robin
#

Any new areas would be announced in #beta-announcements by the devs. Any seasonal related stuff is unlikely to happen until there is a beta access wipe/invite wave.

#

Tbh though... asking for clear instructions in here is kinda defeating the purpose of beta testing. Like not all players have access to qnh/social media and might not have friends to ask. I encourage you to go into beta, try to figure it out yourself and leave feedback to TGC if certain things are confusing or unclear SkyPray

#

If you are having difficulty, then it’s likely other people in live would too.

karmic thistle
#

Lol yes! Go and try to break the game so they can fix it

#

What I said has nothing to do with the campfire or lantern ?
@lusty light i think they meant the fact that bonfire, a technically iap item, can be used for easy recharge/camping perhaps?

lusty light
#

But that still has nothing to do with what I said eufjsjsj

pliant swallow
white horizon
#

No and the devs won’t say to prevent camping
Camping in this server

pliant swallow
#

Ig its a misunderstanding

radiant drum
#

"Camping" here means someone lurking in this server, in #beta-signup-info channel, waiting for the invites to drop. As in "setting up camp" 😄

#

If they shared when invites were coming out, so many people would do that. It's more fair to everyone to just have the same blind chance that it could happen whenever

#

Not to mention this server is huge, too much activity, messages or reactions could make the server crash. We can't let that happen

karmic thistle
#

gasps in moth

rocky solar
#

... can't say i didn't camp at all

radiant drum
#

Just remember to prioritize your health always, invites are not worth losing sleep for. And when you can, have your device next to you so you get the pings whenever it happens. As long as you get the role in #beta-faq you're pretty much good

rocky solar
#

well, when I meant camping Im talking about having my work phone, my personal, and laptop on me wile waiting for the ping

radiant drum
#

That's just waiting 😄

rocky solar
#

lol

radiant drum
#

It's pretty crazy how we had people that would literally have that channel open at all times, in case someone from staff started typing. For all reading, please don't be like this guys

oak forge
#

Does the lantern come with a pendant?

rocky solar
#

oof

hidden quarry
#

no it doesnt

oak forge
#

Oof

#

What’s your guy’s opinion on the lantern tho?

hidden quarry
#

i think its pretty cash money

lean ocean
#

The lantern is bunk, all they will let you do with it is light candles, and when you use the lantern to light things the things you light will not charge your light, this may be a bug but its no Bueno.

oak forge
#

Pretty expensive I must say, I wish it came with a little more candles for the price

lean ocean
#

I wish it did what other light does in the game...

tiny umbra
#

Honestly I just opened discord in the morning and saw it was open and just calmly pressed enter, I got lucky 👁️

sullen relic
#

just checked what the lantern was capable of doing from the known issues channel, but has anyone tried lighting another player's candle with it? (i.e. not to recharge the player, but to see their appearance)

tiny umbra
#

I’ve tried, it’s not possible

copper bison
#

It's a cute item. It makes it much easier to see in dark places, and is good for some screenshot taking. Like, it's a cute item that I really like taking photos of. However it is a bit expensive for my taste. I don't really mind it not having too much functionality as of now, and that it can't recharge light cause that'd be kinda op.

you can't, it's one of the things it can't do.

lean ocean
#

The lantern is a mistake, or a half worked out cash grab

tiny umbra
#

It’s technically speaking not your own light, so light can light lanterns and candles but only your own light can light other people’s candles

lean ocean
#

Op? How theres no end goal in this game? Who are you over powering lul

tiny umbra
#

Other players who have no irl money to spend for an easier game experience

copper bison
#

if you could charge light it'd give you an advantage in places with less things to recharge light with. it gives you an advantage over the f2p players or just people who didn't buy lantern.

lean ocean
#

The game is neet if nothing else, the lantern feels sloppy

tiny umbra
#

The lantern is still subject to change, it’s beta

radiant drum
#

I understand not wanting items to feel too OP if they recharge light, but it's an odd statement considering the campfire is already a thing

lean ocean
#

Facts

tiny umbra
#

But the campfire is still a spell for In game currency 👁️

sullen relic
#

one thing worth mentioning with the campfire is that it's not entirely mobile though ("entirely" because you can still replace it as you'd like if you have the prop); you can walk around with the lantern while having an extended reach, which would actually give advantages similar to that of what a tall player has over a chibi one when burning plants or keeping other players lit (if it was able to recharge light)

lean ocean
#

The point is this light is not worth 20 dollars, there's little function other than ascetic, and i could just use a glow spell, however if this item was fully fleshed out, could melt darkness, light players, and open doors, then that would be a deal, the facts are this thing does 3 things and one of them is take up an instrument slot

radiant drum
#

If you haven't already, that would be great feedback to tell them in #beta-feedback

#

I don't think any single item should cost this much

tiny umbra
#

And an instant recharge potion is faster pFIRE

#

I think 15 would be a good compromise

limpid frigate
#

Well maybe they will change the price when it comes to live?

radiant drum
#

Of course the event itself is lovely, and the price is correspondent to all the work that was put in it. But I still hope they can find a way to lower the price

lean ocean
#

If they don't lol I'm not paying for that

sullen relic
#

you should give them feedback on your thoughts regardless so they have more information to make a decision with

sweet chasm
#

How do you get the lantern?

copper bison
#

It's an IAP

sullen relic
#

open your menu like you're trying to buy more candles to find it SkyTada

#

(assuming you're in beta)

sweet chasm
#

Thank you!!!

karmic thistle
#

Costing more than the season pass is kinda of a joke though lol

mighty estuary
#

Maybe remove the bonus candle? Because 35 candles is worth a pass

lusty light
#

Ktjn said that even if it didn’t include candles the price would be the same

Didn't the days of love pack also come with a gift pass? Or am I misremembering?

I saw some YouTubers post it while it's in betapPopcorn

I think so

The price is $24.99

You could buy another game or even a few games at that cost.

You can play it for one season

#

Two season

#

lol ok

#

lol ok
@storm vessel
?? Two adv passes right 10$ each lol

storm vessel
#

Sorry I always buy in two friends one

dusky spoke
#

Aaah i see

storm vessel
#

Well, the lantern will be permanent and you can use it many seasons lol

#

Unless weird update happens of course

#

And it's more useful than a swing

dawn grotto
#

Ok i missed beta for a while. How do I get these message boat spells again?

lusty light
#

The spell shop

storm vessel
#

on the boat

dawn grotto
#

Ok i try again. Thansk

zinc prawn
#

They did say that some of the functionalities are not available at the moment, but perhaps there might be more stuff added into the lantern later when its out on live SkyShrug

storm vessel
#

If the lantern is useful in the new season people will see beta spoilers and buy it anyway

minor robin
#

I’m pretty much going to buy it regardless of price. It’s way too fun.

  • lantern’s light up area is bigger than glow spell, I can skate under the rink now without spending candles on glow spell and get better vision
  • if I have the lantern out while flying... if I fly thru some unlit candles it’ll light them. This is a pretty fun precision lighting mini-game challenge for me stickerShiny
  • I can keep it out when I do solo or duo runs. Don’t have to constantly tap on the 🔥 icon on the screen or emote menu to pull stuff out
zinc prawn
#

i mean if thats what you like then go for it,
i personally would love it to be somewhere 10-15$

minor robin
#

def reasonable to send in feedback regarding it. I’m also going to send in feedback and tell TGC I hope it returns next year, especially if the other features like dark-plant-burning aren’t available in time of its scheduled release

dusk flower
#

My one complain about the lantern is not be able to burn the darkness with it. And you have to put the lantern down and use your candles to burn the darkness and then open the lantern again. Just imagine when you candles run.

zinc prawn
#

Hopefully the lantern gets more features when its released on live :0

minor robin
#

Lol I’m not gonna imagine it, I’m gonna test it tomorrow in beta with a try-hard candle run

#

there’s only so much we can speculate until we put stuff into actual practical testing. I did find that the lantern was put away quickly when I went up to a constellation gate to pull out candle and open it

#

it’s not bad on duo runs when the lead pulls out candle while the partner has lantern out

#

one thing tho that I’ve been mulling over:
if this lantern came with 35 seasonal candles instead of white candles, or split with 18/18 seasonals/whites. Would you feel that the purchase is more attractive?

#

For some people I think this would be a nice perk, especially if they’re behind. But ultimately the seasonals would be changed to white candles once season of sanctuary is over.

sullen relic
#

on that same line of thought though, would it perhaps be more appealing if it were to come with seasonal candles for whatever the next season is?

tiny umbra
#

Personally not really, since 35 seasonal candles isn’t hard to get for me compared to a 35 candle boost during ts weekend that also comes with a nifty lantern, but it would be nice for someone who started late in the season

minor robin
#

Yeah that’s a very solid point too! I guess it’d really depend on when the item is released, whether sanctuary is ongoing or the next

dawn grotto
#

Erm any idea is the cooldown for message boats? I wanna try at various crazy places.

minor robin
#

caline: ingame is there any Ui notification that there is a cooldown?

dawn grotto
#

Nope has a little sign over the spell but not txt

minor robin
#

cause like... not all players do have access to social media/message boards. It would be a good thing to send feedback on if you feel the boat’s usage instructions isn’t clear enough

marsh igloo
#

the white circle around the spell lasts for 5 minutes, and then there is another 25 mins CD I believe

tiny umbra
#

Ok I checked, 20 dollars goes to 60ish candles in the iap(live) and 10 dollars goes to 35 candles,

dawn grotto
#

Ok thanks. > cause like... not all players do have access to social media/message boards. It would be a good thing to send feedback on if you feel the boat’s usage instructions isn’t clear enough
@minor robin

sullen relic
#

actually, for the earlier line of thought about seasonal/white candles with the lantern: what if the 18/18 split was between the current and next seasons? since any leftover sanctuary candles would turn into regular candles anyway fairly soon

minor robin
#

I think there might be some clash with the way the currency works. I do not believe seasonal candles are currently separated from each other. With enchantment’s pass spam bug, people got tons of seasonal enchantment candles that simply stayed and briefly turned into sanctuary candles.

I think the additional restraints to the boats might help in combatting the previous issue with littering/planting candles:

  • restricted to bodies of water
  • long cool-down
  • can’t recharge cape (apparently that was the main reason candles were planted in the past, so people could recharge their cape, esp. in ||Eden||).

S u c k s

spark raptor
#

I personally think it would be better if the lanterns would either protect us from the rain or recharge

#

Especially for 20 USD

karmic mango
#

that would make them kind of overpowered

#

and make the game pay to win

lament nebula
#

At this point it's just a glorified flashlight lol

spark raptor
#

Hmm, the pay to win think may be true, but people are paying 20 USD

lament nebula
#

Exactly. Who would pay 20 USD for a real flashlight?

spark raptor
#

So, if anything, a reduced price would be better

sand dawn
spark raptor
#

The flashlight is useful in eden or forest.

#

I have put it in Feedback too haha

lament nebula
#

I rl don't wanna complain, but.. c'mon. If it's just one item and it's 20USD, why not add more features to it? Light up the dark areas yeah, but why not recharge your light as well?

lone eagle
spark raptor
#

I mean, I'm glad they're adding candles to it, but the lantern does seem a bit simple for the whole package. I hope they do consider everyone's feedback

#

Ultimately its up to the player to decide to buy it or not

sand dawn
#

The candles are half the price

#

It’s a 10$ lantern with 10$ worth of candles

lament nebula
#

And it's not even pay to win, this game isn't competitive at all

hollow compass
lament nebula
#

But what about the founders cape that goes for 30USD which includes 115 candles xD

#

It has more worth to it than lantern bundle cuz of more added candles, so 30USD price is legit for the cape.

oblique stump
#

The cape is a bonus

sand dawn
#

I think of the founders cape as buying the game

hollow compass
#

The discussion will always be divisive. If you want something to change your best bet is always #beta-feedback

bright portal
#

im pretty sure the lantern is much harder to implement than the office cape hence the price
"It takes a ton of time and effort for the team to create more complex items like the lantern. The IAP price of those items reflects the cost of all that development time." -ktjn

lament nebula
#

Fair

sand dawn
#

Personally I’d like to see the candles dropped from the pack and just have the 10$ lantern.

lament nebula
#

Same

kindred fossil
#

removing the candles wouldn't change the price point.

pPopcorn

minor robin
#

The alternative way to make the $20 feel more worth it, might be to adjust the number of candles it comes with. pPopcorn that is a legit good point about the number of candles gifted with founders cape.

digital dove

Portrait mode is in beta only right??🙏

#

Portrait mode is in beta only right??🙏
@digital dove yeah

minor robin
#

Yes and this also technically means it is a beta spoiler and shouldn't discussed in channels outside of beta.

arctic lake
#

Someone suggested to add an gift adventure pass instead of the candles like it was the case when the swing was sold.

#

This would definitely make the package more valuable as a gift pass for me would justify it a lot better than candles I can collect in one day almost

primal pagoda
#

Then the lantern pack might cost $25. Even more expensive 😆😆

arctic lake
#

I wouldn't change the prize just the content

#

a gift pass is 10 as well isn't it?

primal pagoda
#

Valentine’s swing was $25

arctic lake
#

Yeah but that doesn't change the prize of a pass, just means the swing was charged more expensively 😁

kindred fossil
#

the candles got nothing to do with the lantern's initial price, it's just a freebie

arctic lake
#

Yes it is. But it is a freebie that's added to make the prize more acceptable

lusty light
#

The valentines swing was 20

kindred fossil
#

although i thought people wanted the pass to be removed from the swing set, since it was released really late into the season

arctic lake
#

With being able to safe passes now that wouldn't be an issue I guess

#

You could gift it to someone in the next upcoming season

kindred fossil
#

true

#

i didn't test the swing set btw, just from what i saw lol

arctic lake
#

Fact is: It wouldn't pay off to sell it for 10 as the development sure needs more effort than this. There's also a chance more people would buy it though and it would equal out even if it was only 10 but that I can't tell.
So they add a freebie to make it more justifyable. Does it matter which freebie?

primal pagoda
#

Oh really? My bad. I read somewhere someone said it was $25

kindred fossil
#

the price could've been from a different region pPopcorn

#

Canadian money also uses $ but their prices are typically higher than USD (because Canadian dollars and US dollars are different currencies. 1 CAD is equal to 0.77 USD)

I remember from the introduction of the first iap items , there weren’t any candles included. I’ve left a lot of feedback back then to include candles with the items , to make it more appealing for purchase. I’ve bought the pumpkin and bat cape nether the less though.

did they take away the cooldown off of resize potions a couple updates ago or did i find a new bug?

warm badger
#

Hm, I’ll go try it out and let you know

#

Doesn’t seem to be a cool down for me either, it could be the same bug, or maybe they decided not to have a cool down since so many people were using so many resize potions to get the exact height they wanted

kindred fossil

i think the cooldown's bugged

it says 0min cooldown lol

waxen python
#

I've probably asked dozens of times, but
Have they decided when/if the portrait mode arrives to the android beta?

tiny umbra
#

Unlimited resizes pFIRE

#

I don’t think it’s that they don’t want to bring portrait mode to android or if it’s a choice it’s that android as a platform has different rules and functionality than iOS so it’s harder to do on android, but it’s being developed

primal pagoda
waxen python
#

OK, thanks!

hollow compass
#

It's also not quite stable in iOS. I have personally had a lot of lagging when taking screenshots in portrait mode. The control area on the screen is very centred and small when using 1-handed.

#

I'm not on beta, but was hoping someone could answer here...does the lantern light up dark areas better than the fireworks staff?

tiny umbra
#

I think the fireworks staff is brighter, but the lantern works just as well continuously instead in loud blasts, i think someone put a comparison in screenshots if you can find it

hidden quarry
#

also, the lantern gives 1 colour of light only

sorry, the ones i did weren't in valley temple, but in one of the small buildings in wasteland's social area

It currently comes with 35 white candles. The price and candle count aren’t set in stone, as this is beta.

im gonna take screenshots of all the dark areas with the lantern before access gets wiped thats for sure, i hate not being able to see every crevice, bless the devs for the lantern

I just really hope the lantern can burn darkness as well. It will be really worth every penny then

kindred fossil
#

lmao ok i'll stay in the dark

empty river
#

pFacepalm 🥁

amber umbra
#

I wish the lantern recharged your/others‘ light. I know the devs said it was not being done to avoid giving an advantage to people paying for the lantern, but the bonfire was technically an IAP (as part of the Adventure Pass), so it’s not unheard of. i think until they figure out how/when/if they want to bring back ultimates, it‘s kind of unfair for players who were able to play during Belonging to have this „advantage“ while people who couldn‘t play during that time have no access to an item with this power. (Yes I know there are spells, but not everyone can afford to keep crafting bonfire spells.)

Just my humble opinion, and yes I left it in #beta-feedback already. SkyBow

kindred fossil
#

idk if it's possible but to avoid making it way too OP (its more portable than the bonfire, if that makes sense) it recharges the player slowly while moving, but chargers decently if the player stays still or something

#

i can't type today 😔

Were the bugged seasonal spirits fixed? I noticed I haven't encountered any since the spirits became relivable

Has there been any discussion that the spirit re-living is just for beta, so we cant test them, or something that they want to bring back to live as well?

tiny umbra

As far as I know its something they wanna bring into live, so we're testing it in beta right now, not sure when itll be in live thou. Some things stay in beta for a long time

tough pebble
#

Yeah like the shepered system, only complains about the new UI is it's too bright

hollow compass
#

I for one am glad the ability to relive spirits is back again. They listened to our feedback and added the precursory question, so that people don't get too confused.

slate trout
#

🤗🤗🤗

tender oasis
#

I'm also glad that spirits are back however its pretty hard to find the right spirit to do daily quest if you don't know which ones are the regular 'quest' spirits.

hollow compass
#

@tender oasis But you can see that from the symbol on the quest...?

kindred fossil
#

considering the amount of questions asked about the relive quest in #seasons-events-chat, maybe not 👀

hollow compass
#

And really, they usually rotate between the same two, so just look for the first one and then go to the second if it wasn't the first.

#

dark, I think people just don't look at the symbol, tbh

iron geyser
#

and don't they shine blue anyways?

not with this update

No, they don't do that now. But it shouldn't be an issue, if you just look at the symbol by the quest.

I’m waiting for battery to hit 100% then it’s serious beta CR time stickerShiny

if you an see it on your tiny phone screen

tender oasis
#

I Never used the symbol pFIRE i know which ones are the quest spirits but thinking like a newbie i think its hard without the aura.

minor robin
#

Btw mild question for you guys: do you feel like the spirit icon is too small? I think also.. it might be nice if the description also included their name, now that it’s included in constellations

hollow compass
#

The symbol is there to help you and give you a hint. That's why it only says "relive this spirit", not "relive Cry spirit" (for example).

minor robin
#

I always wonder why seasonal chat and qnh has so many “what’s today’s relive spirit?” questions. SkyThink

hollow compass
#

Might be too long to include the whole name. I don't have any issues seeing the symbol on my iPhone X, but perhaps on smaller screens it is difficult?

minor robin
#

and that’s a good point too blep, should the quest be in our faces or continue to be a hint

kindred fossil
#

either can't recognize the icon, forgot the location or don't have time

hollow compass
#

Tbh, I think it's mostly that they don't look at the symbol at all. SkyLOL

kindred fossil
#

i feel like saying lazy too but maybe that's too harsh lol

hollow compass
#

Nah, not lazy. Just unobservant.

kindred fossil
#

#

I remember not paying attention to the symbol way back in my early days. Or not realising it was there. But considering we have had the same relive spirits for 4 seasons now (or more?), it shouldn't be that hard to work out.

tender oasis
#

Sky visuals are overwhelming in a way. So many details, its easy to miss small things like that. Even now i keep discovering new things after months of playing on a daily basis.stickerGloomy

minor robin

I think that’s also a plus stickerHeart keeps things fresh even for longtime players

I don’t look at the symbol at all. I just go to the places where I know the quests usually are.

If we learned everything there was to sky within a week, it’d get pretty boring

Nah, one playthrough and you've finished the game. SkyLOL

#

but that tiny tunnel hidden to the side says otherwise

tiny umbra
#

One play through took me a whole month then XD

#

Wait that’s not true, it was more like 3 weeks

hollow compass
#

But question: if it says "relive this spirit", why do people not try to look for an answer by themselves before asking in QnH? Do they assume the game doesn't tell them which spirit it is?

tender oasis
#

Agree SkyTada i like there is so much in it. My point is for a newbie it's hard to see all the small details like spirit icons etc.

hollow bolt
#

It’s quicker to ask than to research sometimes

hollow compass
#

In that case, the quest designs are not good.

hollow bolt
#

That’s a valid point

minor robin
#

... oh an interesting idea... what if the questgiver did the wave then did the emote of the relive spirit ?

tiny umbra
#

Some people go straight to just asking, others find it themselves, it depends on the person, I mean everyone could find their answers in game or on their own but we still have question channels

tender oasis
#

Ohh I like that Wyott

hollow bolt
#

Maybe if the spirits had the emote symbols associated with them instead of the flame to click on?

minor robin
#

Therefore we don’t have to just rely on icons/names in quest. It’s a visual in yo face clue to the spirit

hollow compass
#

If a quest says "relive this spirit" you should ideally try to find out which one it is and not just accept that it isn't immediately obvious. Right?

tiny umbra
#

There was an idea a while back where the non seasonal questgiver was replaced by whatever spirit you needed to relive for the day, that would be nice too 👁️

hollow compass
#

Lysken, what flame? But the quest icon is the emote icon.

tiny umbra
#

Imagine the questgiver crying at you when you click the “!”
Awkward SkyLOL

minor robin
#

LOL MAKE IT LVL 4 CRY

hollow compass
#

I think that would be way too hard to programme!

hollow bolt
#

When you relive a spirit, the icon is a flame that you have to light up.
What if, instead of a flame, the icon is the emote associated with that spirit that we see on our constellations

minor robin
#

bunch of skykids watch a grown up questgiver cry and throw a tantrum on the floor 😂

empty river
#

thats reserved for when you need to use the emote tho, that would confuse players even more

tiny umbra
#

Wasteland, the questgiver does nothing, just widens his stance slightly more, the skykids are confusion

hollow compass
#

I honestly think the easiest way would be to make the quest icons slightly bigger or more obvious.

minor robin
#

But not as entertaining as questgiver doing lvl 4 cry... omg I need to doodle this sometime stickerHAHA

empty river
#

why not just make them do it pEyes

tiny umbra
#

Valley, the questgiver just puts their head in their hands “you know this one, just go SkyPoint

#

It’s pretty crowded in my phone though. The text reaches all the way across my screen.
If they made the icons for the quests bigger, they’d have to compromise and make the text smaller 🤔

Ideas don't need to be repeated in the feedback channels. filling the feedback channel with repeats might make it hard for TGC staff to get through it all, but otherwise they do read it all and give it all equal weighting. Cross-posting to many channels regardless of content is spam

they do plan on adding more people. when an access wipe happens, the devs will notify us.

There will be an access wipe soon, they haven't started testing for the new season yet. They'll announce in #beta-announcements or #beta-signup-info probably whenever they are going to do the access wipe and start a new round of invites, but we don't know when that will be yet

The maximum cooldown time for discord is 6 hours I guess

i can just imagine all the new testers asking the same questions, almost all of which could be answered in beta faq

technically the maximum is making the channel read-only 🧠

the maximum is to delete beta

Or removing the channel pEyes

👆 said everybody since release. Don't get your friends hope up

There’s a reason some cutscenes can’t be skipped. They’re used to load the next area of the game, otherwise there isn’t enough time and you’ll get all glitchy. The cutscene that CAN be skipped the devs have already made skippable

nah

the painting one, that's already loaded in, the isle one you cant skip but can when playing it the second time

Hello 👋 does anyone know if we can leave message boats ⛵️ in valley

Not at the ice rink but if you can think of a legitamite body of water in valley then yes

Nope

Oh ok

I think only on a body of water that your character can float on, is needed to place the boat

#

So I think that's why valley's water is probably not working

tiny umbra

Not just float thou, just, actual water, you can’t stand in shallow non floatable water and still place a boat, the ice rink water is an illusion

You can put a boat underneath the stadium oob thou 👁️

beta is for the purpose of testing. progress may be wiped at any time if they feel like it

besides, ts come at the same time as live so might as well concentrate on that account

hollow compass
#

Beta is essentially the same as Live these days, except when there is a new season being tested. You don’t automatically get access to all past seasonal items just because you’re in beta. And you shouldn’t focus on cosmetics too much. Main focus is on testing gameplay mechanisms and performance.

#

@cloud flint how did you get into beta?

I am on andriod

Hello beta friends, how fares the Bug Hunt today? pSkyPeek

worldly star

Yeah there’s a huge increase in new players recently because of a certain website in China, it was taken down once but now it’s back and recently the popularity of Sky in mainland China spiked so there’s a huge increase of new players in Beta, chances are they won’t speak English very well. It’s really saddening that all these people who claim to “love Sky and TGC” download beta from these places, I’ve tried to talk to some of them (Yay I speak Chinese ) but they just say “I want to experience the new season first, what’s so wrong about that? Why do you care anyways?” It’s just sad pCry

#

Is it weird that the confirmation box doesn't show up when I tap on a spell/potion/paper boat?

worn field

sounds a little odd to me - if you can, submit a bug report. even if it's not a bug, better to be safe and let TGC know. at the very least, if it's not a bug, it still tells TGC that we think it's a bug, which is valuable feedback! SkyGoTeam

hollow compass
#

It is extra unfortunate that these apk players join beta, since the server for that has limited capacity. If there is a large influx of new players it can cause issues for those of us who are actually here to help test the game.

hollow compass

Which ones in particular? Some channels are read only.

feral mica

All of them except this one... and I also can’t put all the roles too

the roles channel is sometimes broken due to a discord bug... i don't think that should affect your ability to chat though SkyThink

Discord sometimes bugs out with reacts not being available if there are too many clicks on them. Maybe check your settings to see if something has been accidentally set to off?

What would you like to know?

beta is a testing environment. it’s a version of sky where tgc tests out new things, so it’s often quite buggy.
it’s also quite lonely. there really aren’t many active beta testers, especially compared to the live game

/how often are bugss is the game frustrating to play?????

hollow bolt

The most frustrating bugs, in my opinion, are the crashes. Some crashes happen when you're literally doing nothing, whilst some crashes happen when you interact with in game functions.

Bug reports are also tedious because you have to do them often (:

Anyone playing on iPad 2017 ?? I use that one for work and played a little on it. I kept getting crashes in sanctuary with the latest beta build. I don’t know if it is just my device , cause the whole game was laggy too. No network problems for sure , cause I could play fine on my newer devices.

"Fixed issue where some temples could be accessed from exit side" - so wasteland/forest were accesible from exit side or what? 🤔

oblique stump
#

Isle, Prairie and Valley were all accessible from the exit

fresh crater
#

@vapid drum Make sure you update your iPad to 13.7, check iPadstorage, not iCloud but iPad- settings-general-iPad storage- hard restart on iPad, see if that helps

bleak arrow
#

Valley is still accessible from exit.

#

Is it really an issue tho? Why?

minor robin
#

players were never meant to access the temples from the back side, but there were a couple exceptions that we finally got around to fixing. we were getting reports of players getting stuck when trying to go backwards, so now it's fixed.
-Ktjn

bleak arrow
#

😟

#

oof I don't like it

minor robin
#

You can send feedback on it. Ngl I personally use the forest to prairie temple shortcut every so often when I’ve forgotten a candle cake. But this is on me and my gameplay: I could have been more mindful and looked for cakes in their usual spot instead of going though the route on habit, I could have looked up candle locations before I finished the map.

#

I’d rather take initiative and play more mindfully, than have a temple u-turn that has caused players to get stuck, especially new moths who might get a bad impression of Sky

random gull
#

Odd question regarding that. I usually do my forest candle run in live by opening the gate to get the last couple of wax bits and returning to the temple room because the plants are usually burned by the time I collect from the last area. Is this no longer viable with the fixes?

empty river
#

i can go check in just a second pSkyHeart i do that too so im curious

minor robin
#

It’s still ok to U-turn like that. I did it last night stickerShiny

#

That temple door is completely open. I guess the change might be when someone attempts to fly from valley social space into forest temple area (I heard there were some significant wind currents tho, it’s tricky and not worth the effort)

random gull
#

ah yeah I've only ever done that once before. I just never really had a reason to outside of curiosity

hollow compass
#

Mostly it’s not being able to return to Prairie temple from Forest social hub.

empty river
#

can confirm U-turn into forest temple and going from wasteland social area-valley temple still works (dunno why you would try the latter tho :v)

minor robin
#

Only thing I can think of is vets who would rather skip the races and wish to access the stadium oob quickly. But it's so niche

bleak arrow
#

Me and my friends use wasteland -> valley to go oob arena.

because glitching through it is not the intended gameplay

Glitching is part of the game.

The lantern should be able to burn plants, open barriers, and recharge your light.

bleak arrow
#

Why they don't patch oob arena, golden and rainbow bridge etc? It's not the intended gameplay either.

fresh crater
#

I would just be grateful they haven’t

bleak arrow
#

Is it just because people reported being stuck there while glitching? XD

fresh crater
#

They allow us the OOb’s but really it is not official gameplay

random gull
#

the only reason I ever glitched through the gate is I didn't want to get some poor skykid (especially moths) stuck in a krill path during the cutscene. Now with the inability to honk and see locations I have NO WAY of knowing if everyone's safely out of path before activating the gate

empty river
#

ktjn said people were having issues iirc, and things like oob areas are not usually patched because tgc is aware theyre dear to the players

bleak arrow
#

They literally included table glitch in patch when they changed table to transparent for others.

#

Tbh if you do glitch you shouldn't complain of ot goes wrong.

slim kayak
#

The table is transparent now to prevent people from getting blocked out of places.

bleak arrow
#

^thats not the point.

random gull
#

I'm glad it's still solid for me but I forget when my friends put a table they gotta sit to interact with it and dropped my friend accidentally when i used a table to float us

tiny umbra
#

They allow oobs if it doesn’t bother people, they patched the easy route to the forest elder room cause players were getting stuck there in accident just cause they missed a winged light or a plant or something

lusty light
#

People trying to play the game normally and getting affected by bugs absolutely have a right to complain

fresh crater
#

It’s too bad they had to do that because players were not considerate

lusty light
#

Especially if it’s preventing progression

bleak arrow
#

How glitching throught wasteland door affect others gameplay?

fresh crater
#

It triggers the krill

tiny umbra
#

I think that one counts as an exploit? Technically? They patch those too

fresh crater
random gull
#

it still triggers the krill stickerShock here I was thinking I was not triggering the krill to save some moths

lusty light
#

But either way glitches get patched, that’s just how game development and quality assurance work, just because the devs are ok with some things doesn’t mean they have to allow everything

bleak arrow
#

I was talking about people who glitch and complain it gone wrong.

lusty light
#

A majority of the player base do not glitch and they’re being impacted by these issues

slim kayak
#

At lease they added a skip button for the gate. You have much more time to get through without getting spotted by krill. Poor moths don't get that option though SkyLOL

bleak arrow
#

Glitching through wasteland doors doesn't trigger krill, that's the point. Cutscene triggers krills.

#

How they are impacted?

lusty light
#

Because they were being soft locked in progression... I said that

tiny umbra
#

I remember before the cutscene became skippable the camera angles zooming in and out would get me stuck in a crevice until the cutscene ended

kindred fossil
#

I was talking about people who glitch and complain it gone wrong.
never seen anyone in my life complain about glitching gone wrong

Whelp guess I gottta wait for the smolmode to end

Was talking to Seraph "soft locked in progression"

kindred fossil
#

ok lol

pulsar edge
#

Just submitted feedback already on something different

slim kayak
#

I haven't seen the survey yet SkyLOL guess I gotta play sky

pulsar edge
#

There are a few different ones

#

There’s like the IAP one, the valley one, and the Eden one

#

I keep getting surveys over and over again in beta

kindred fossil
#

free candles

lusty light
#

Even though you personally don’t get it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t happening to others, when they made changes to calling and table people were mad even though those changes were made to prevent griefing, just because they personally weren’t being griefed

violet haven
#

I haven't gotten one in beta yet 🤔

slim kayak
#

I haven't seen a survey in beta in a long time pEyes even though i play it often

kindred fossil
#

when the krill glitch gets patched grab some popcorn pPopcorn

pulsar edge
#

People get upset when changes like this are made because it creates an inconvenience for those that used the existing feature to their advantage

minor robin
#

I left feedback on the wasteland gate patch, tho I'm pretty sure the devs know it's a very frequently used thing (like home glitch), tbh I like that there is a community culture of skipping that gate for the sake of other strangers and moths. It's very in line with sky values. I do hope they bring it back.

slim kayak
#

Anyways, now that the gate skip is patched, what do you think is faster, using a table to get through or just activating the gate and running?

random gull
#

if you close the game out IMMEDIATELY upon losing stars, it doesn't save fast enough for the stars to actually be lost

kindred fossil
#

using a table is faster

fresh crater
#

I just active the gate

lusty light
#

How is positioning a table and probably messing up faster than just activating the cutscene and skipping it

kindred fossil
#

i know how to it get right quick enough lol

fresh crater
#

I can get through the gate pretty quickly it’s just not a. Issue for me

slim kayak
#

You have to be really good at using the table

minor robin
#

It's worth tho, not triggering krills that could hurt others. I guess it's table practice time for me if this hits live

fresh crater
#

I always.make sure to honk a couple of times and check for other players

lusty light
#

Imo the glitches should be patched, but whatever is causing people to resort to glitching should be fixed too

pulsar edge
#

Honking doesn’t work anymore tho cause of the honk changes

kindred fossil
#

rip

lusty light
#

You can deep call and alert ppl of what you’re doing?

pulsar edge
#

But they won’t necessarily understand, especially moths

fresh crater
#

If you were going to fix glitches in every area there would be a lot of fixes

minor robin
#

Battlefield lacks cover, unlike graveyard. If the gate is not changed back I hope that the devs do add in safe zones/broken shields to hide under

slim kayak
#

If you honk rapidly enough maybe they'll follow

pulsar edge
#

When you can’t see them, there’s nothing stopping you from unintentionally releasing krill on an unsuspecting victim

fresh crater
#

If they are there I just wait on them

pulsar edge
#

Exactly, but you can’t wait on someone who may or may not even be there in the first place

lusty light
#

Whenever I go to the battlefield though, if someone activates the gate when I’m far away the cutscene doesn’t trigger until I’m very close to the diamond

fresh crater
#

Loll

kindred fossil
#

rip to them but i'm different

fresh crater
#

😳 wow

#

I try not to do anything to impact another players gameplay

kindred fossil
#

yeah the cutscene doesn't trigger unless you come close, which what made it annoying in the first place

pulsar edge
#

If the gate skip is patched, there should be another way to get past without krilling the innocent

kindred fossil
#

now it's skippable so whatever

pulsar edge
#

An alternate gate higher up that moths can’t reach maybe

#

Just to let the vets slip by

fresh crater
#

Good idea

kindred fossil
#

a secret entrance? pPopcorn

pulsar edge
#

Like a crack in the bricks

minor robin
#

That’s like, not very inclusive tho/accessible. It’s moths and beginner players who are playing sky at a higher difficulty and with inexperienced skills. I think it’d be better to have a crack in the bricks that is at ground level and slightly hidden

#

They changed prairie’s cave and birdsnest entry to be more accessible to new players

#

I don’t feel putting a vet-exclusive entry point is quite inline with Sky’s map design principles

pulsar edge
#

And I’m not sure I agreed with that change in the first place. Same with the change that made shipwreck gate take wasteland spirits instead of vault

bleak arrow
#

that's actually pretty good idea

slim kayak
#

I mean, wouldn't most moths go straight to activating the gate? Its a nice, shiny thing to interact with SkyLOL

hollow bolt
#

Perhaps if they just got rid of the gate and made battlefield a maze you had to navigate for cover?
Hi Ral (:

pulsar edge
#

I think required backtracking is important for a richer game

#

So long as it’s not boring and tedious

minor robin
#

I was on the fence about that prairie change too in the beginning but oh my god is birdsnest/cave entry more convenient on daily candle runs.

pulsar edge
#

For sure, but it definitely feels like there’s less of a progression between areas now

fresh crater
#

What do you mean less progression

minor robin
#

Sorry but, if you’re a vet who isn’t running candleruns daily, you might be out of touch with the candle grind experience. I don’t want to spend an extra minute flying without getting wax if I have to. It already takes 1.5-2hr to do a substantial wax run and adding height to entry ways just adds in inconvenience

pulsar edge
#

Before, you had to learn to fly well to get up to the nest entrance. It felt like an accomplishment for moth me. Like I had learned and mastered flying skills. Now you just walk up to a gate

minor robin
#

I feel it’s accomplishment enough for new players to discover spirits to unlock those constellation gates pPopcorn

fresh crater
#

Oh Itotally agree

minor robin
#

Why make us go flappy bird for months?

fresh crater
#

It used to be so much harder to reach so many areas you really had to work at it

pulsar edge
#

It didn’t take months to get into nest. Weeks, at most

empty river
#

tbh you still have to learn how to fly well in order to do anything in bird's nest :p

fresh crater
#

Gave me a seance of accomplishment

minor robin
#

No I mean flying up there every single day.

kindred fossil
#

i got into nest the same day i started playing 🤨

vapid drum
#

@spark lance it was my device , I had the lagging and crashing in live too. Hard reset did the job 🤗

minor robin
#

I got into nest first week but didn’t go in regularly because I simply didn’t have the flight skills to make it into the entrance. I was that bad of a mothy flier and I didn’t have a good sense of ingame depth perception

fresh crater
#

In the beginning you could not fly up there on the wing power you had till you made more progress or friended so one to help

vapid drum
#

On above matter , I got the survey after getting the lantern

kindred fossil
#

not first try though, i thought i should get more stars before attempting for the 10th time that day

pulsar edge
#

There’s an argument for the balance of accessibility in games. Accessibility allows more people to get enjoyment out of your game, but at the cost of making the experience as a whole less rewarding. Sky has followed the route of maximum accessibility, but I feel we’ve gone too far past the point of diminishing returns on that

kindred fossil
#

not first try though, i thought i should get more stars before attempting for the 10th time that day

#

ok discord

empty river
#

my 3 wedges when i started beta would like to disagree with you willow lol

lusty light
#

What’s wrong with accessibility though, the game was made with the thought of people who have never played a game before

#

There may not be hard challenges for you but it is still challenging for others

pulsar edge
#

Never said there was anything wrong with accessibility, but there’s importance to having a balance

fresh crater
#

In the beginning you could not access the area to the bird nest at all you had to fly up to the opening, and the cave too

#

It’s way to easy now but that’s my opinion only

vapid drum
#

I wish I was a new player again, with no knowledge of the game whatsoever , imagine how big sky would look with all the additions done in the past year 😍

empty river
#

you could just use the clouds to recharge you and push you up

pulsar edge
#

You could, but you’d need knowledge of how to do that

empty river
#

i was a stubborn moth lol

fresh crater
#

No that didn’t work not in the beginning it was very very hard and required a lot of practice and determination

#

I was stubborn too
