[random gull]

They're working from home right now I think

I still call you tiki tho

[copper bison]

i'm never exactly sure what to call you so i just go by whatever is on your nick at the moment

[dapper ginkgo]

No problem with that.
just don't call me 'Tiktak' or else honey, you gotta big storm coming

[random gull]

Suddenly picturing you dropping capeless skykids into a krill pit

[dapper ginkgo]

But they were indeed careless.

[copper bison]

i just thought of something random
what if like, 10 kais worked at tgc and a new player joined and saw like 10 kais on the staff list-

[dapper ginkgo]

That's a neat april fool's idea.

[random gull]

Kai at least two Kai's applied to work there cuz one of my other Kai friends applied same time as me. We both make "notice me senpai" jokes at each other over it

[dapper ginkgo]

Imagine having friends.
POGFISH SLJEFKLJDFL:

[random gull]

What am I chopped liver? U my friend no takebacks

[bright portal]

~~ah yes , kai the chopped liver ~~

[copper bison]

a majority of my friends are online, i'm not very good at socializing in real life and it also kind of reflects on my online self as well, though i'm a bit more vocal online so i don't have many friends in real life but have a few online friends.

[random gull]

Would y'all believe me if I said me too? Legit all friends online and like 2 in person friends total.

[hollow cloak]

Sliding in to report that I just had a graphics glitch in Forest
I was beginning to think that it had been totally fixed...

This time I'm actually going to report right away, so I'm not stuck with 7 outdated videos anymore

[random gull]

The memes channel OMG they memed the auto glide flight toggle

[dapper ginkgo]

How naive... they will soon see...
maybe

[random gull]

Watch this be something we test for months before it goes live

[dapper ginkgo]

Hence the 'maybe'.

[random gull]

I just had a dumb meme idea xD as many skykids as I can get standing in a circle doing emote and a person in the middle doing as an in game summoning circle I say this here cuz I don't know if any of my live friends have that emote but I have a few beta friends with it

[dapper ginkgo]

There was a summoning circle meme here... how did people do it again??

[random gull]

Don't put it in chat. Ktjn will appear and tell us no I'll dm u if you want it

[dapper ginkgo]

Oh nevermind then/

[random gull]

idk why my iPad thought dm was email

[dapper ginkgo]

it was a bit square anyways

idk why my iPad thought dm was email
Kinda the same concept.

[random gull]

I think I'll go to sleep early tonight. Shake things up a lil watch areas still come looking for me in game but I will not be there today

[copper bison]

have a good sleep!

[tropic radish]

Just saw someone repeatedly do the candle buying animation + the ring , is there a reoccurring glitch or-
Couldn't report them at the end since they refused to light me

[random coral]

It’s a hacker so it’s to bad they didn’t let you light them

[buoyant geyser]

Just saw someone repeatedly do the candle buying animation + the ring , is there a reoccurring glitch or-
Couldn't report them at the end since they refused to light me
@tropic radish the "ring" ?

[tiny umbra]

That’s a known thing that hackers do, expecially if they run away from lighting you

[tropic radish]

You know, the sound effect that plays after you buy an IAP from the shop :0 unfortunate, but I hope to be able to report if I do encounter one again-

[spark lance]

i mean if I'm understanding you correctly

[oak berry]

the windchime sound?

[tropic radish]

Yes !

[spark lance]

it could be someone with a lot of candles and/or hearts repeatedly buying things

[storm vessel]

That's different

[tropic radish]

they were doing it outside of homespace, not buying stuff from spirits, I can confirm since they were at the center of praire's social area :'')
But they just kept spinning, glittering, and it kept repeating www

[spark lance]

oh. then probably are

[serene fern]

you can see the animation of sky kids offering a white candle if they are buying things from constellation, the one you see is haxer :<

[split jay]

WA did the fire trial change like the air trial

[slim kayak]

not really? i think the 3rd level changed a bit, it's now like a maze with dead ends

[split jay]

okok because if the fire trial changed like the air one i would cry doing the trial in live vers

[pine mirage]

in here we talk about the trials here? since what i said in the gen chat was beta related they said

[split jay]

ohh no you can talk abt trials in general but not the trials from beta

beta talk isn’t allowed in general so that ppl can avoid spoilers and we can keep the next trials a secret

[pine mirage]

||so everybody here knows the demon lurking in the shadows in the last trial?||

[oak berry]

mhm

[slim kayak]

we know lots of things
but nothing about release dates or the next season. some people lurk in here and ask about those things

[oak berry]

theres multiple, a whole flock of dark owls

[split jay]

ya!! most ppl in here are already in beta w beta invites such as me so we gotta keep things a secret from the other non beta players

[gilded talon]

Yes Sushi, it’s fire trial which isn’t out on Live yet, that’s why people direct you here and you don’t need to spoiler tag that in beta discussion

[pine mirage]

wait dark owls? thats a thing?

[slim kayak]

they have many names

[pine mirage]

are they the one that lurks in the last trial? the dark owls?

[split jay]

i call them wispies

[oak berry]

yeah, theyre terrifying if you arent prepared

[slim kayak]

i call them dust bunnies

[pine mirage]

i call them, flame takers/demon flame eater idk

[oak berry]

i remember when i first did the trial and my friend was ahead of me, i only saw the eyes before the violent screen shake of doom got me

[slim kayak]

i can't say that name anymore? aw ok

[pine mirage]

when i first say their appearance i thought, "oh wow a flying flame! must be a flame bird thingy! <3"

then it gave out the earthquake "OH JESUS-"

[gilded talon]

Yeah I tried typing that too Aeras and the message didn’t go through lmao I was so confused

[slim kayak]

that's ok, dust bunny it is

[oak berry]

when i first say their appearance i thought, "oh wow a flying flame! must be a flame bird thingy! <3"

then it gave out the earthquake "OH JESUS-"
i actually thought they were players who already completed the trial at first

[rustic hearth]

you're going to see some of this on the next trial, Sushi.

[pine mirage]

ohhh i got a good one
the boogieman/Baba Yaga

[oak berry]

i wonder if they still shake the screen, they did get louder though

[split jay]

terrifying. absolute pain

[oak berry]

i really need a partner to do fire trial so i can remember the path

[slim kayak]

no, no, its

[gilded talon]

I turned my screen vibration off so I never had much trouble with screen shake. does it vibrate violently?

[oak berry]

no, just shake

[slim kayak]

they toned down the shaking too. it's not as bad anymore. the sounds however...

[pine mirage]

i really need a partner to do fire trial so i can remember the path
@oak berry in sky? or the beta one

i mean if they released it, then i can accompany you in the non beta sky? I have a friend that will be going with me too, cuz y'know teamwork

[rustic hearth]

The sound for me is kinda creepier than the krills.. or maybe im just immune now to the sound of krills

[gilded talon]

Lol I was so mad at fire trial at one point so to calm myself down and chill through fire I listen to music now when I practice

[slim kayak]

fire won't come to live for another 2 weeks. be thankful that you get a break in between air and fire

[oak berry]

@oak berry in sky? or the beta one

i mean if they released it, then i can accompany you in the non beta sky? I have a friend that will be going with me too, cuz y'know teamwork
beta, i have quite a few friends to do the trial with, i might be able to take you in live once i complete it with friends though!

[slim kayak]

solo fire is fun

[gilded talon]

@oak berry I can go with you I just love the fire trial. I’ve mostly done fire solo so going with a friend would be fun for me~

[pine mirage]

i only have the non beta sky tho, do you have the non beta sky? I've been spoiled alot in the beta updates thats why I can see what will happen in the next few updates

[slim kayak]

fire isn't in live yet

[oak berry]

time to solo fire, lets see if i can complete it without quitting
i do have non beta!

[pine mirage]

woaaaahhhh what happens if you go to the trial with 8 people XD they be screaming XD

[serene fern]

I was going to do trials with my usual 4 friends... piggyback tower let's gooooooooooo

[oak berry]

i dont think 8 would even be able to fit into the corridor of doom

[slim kayak]

all of us beta testers also play live! keeping up with 2 separate sky's is hard, but we do it because it's fun to help the devs.

also fire is easier with friends. way easier

[serene fern]

moff together strong

[pine mirage]

you(the only one that has beta) :
the other 7 players: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! AYE YOW ITS COMING THIS WAY! RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
you: nice GG

[slim kayak]

you cannot outrun the fluffies

[serene fern]

we do be chilling and eating popcorn everytime a new trial came out and everyone raging tho

[oak berry]

you can side step them though

[serene fern]

accept your fate, moth

[slim kayak]

or just go and hug them. they don't bite.

[oak berry]

they hurt to hug

[pine mirage]

while we were playing trial of air the whole thing is just
** S C R E A M I N G ** in anger

[gilded talon]

They don’t bite but they drain your light

[slim kayak]

they were very fluffy. worth losing my light

[serene fern]

they don't bite you just kinda die because of their cuteness

fire boi is teaching us kids don't smoke or you will be trapped in this dark ball and never be able to come out of it again and you will hunt other kids

[slim kayak]

is that why fire boi didn't show up for the first 2-ish weeks? cause they got stuck?

[serene fern]

wait no this is not a threat I swear

[oak berry]

i remember awhile back while talking with friends and i suggested what if there was a dark level with krill in it
the devs read my mind

[slim kayak]

that's why this season is called prophecy duh

[serene fern]

what have you done, now millions of sky kids will suffer

[pine mirage]

so ** you ** made the last trial @oak berry

[gilded talon]

Now it’s the moment that skybot says : Dragon is a horrible person and can spend the next 9hours 47minutes thinking about what they’ve done

[serene fern]

live people will hunt you down for what you have done dragon

[oak berry]

i mean that explains why i like it so much

[slim kayak]

Too bad fire won't be out in time for Halloween. Would have been a perfect way to spend it: in the spoopiest place in sky

[oak berry]

one week too late..

[serene fern]

HIDE AND SEEK IN FIRE TRIALS
or just any trials

[slim kayak]

Who will find you first? Your friend or the dust bunnies?

[sullen oasis]

both

[serene fern]

my death

[oak berry]

i managed to spark my memory and beat the second part of fire trial! one last section to go!

[quick oriole]

The friend will find you only for both of you to be yeeted by fire eyeballs

[slim kayak]

Last section has lots of dead ends. Good luck dragon

[gilded talon]

I pray for you Dragon

[oak berry]

i will go out trying my best! oh no i hear them

wearing headphones was a bad idea

[copper bison]

i just translated a sky comic from chinese to english my brain aaaa-

rip, the dust bunnies do be loud

[dense whale]

/translator's pain i can understand that speaking of which with the growing population of vietnamese players is tgc thinking of translating to vietnamese

[serene fern]

really want translator in live, it has been soooo helpful
Wish I can talk to my friends more but I don't speak their languages

[slim kayak]

the translator supports almost every language I have come across, but not all translations were accurate apparently. maybe test out the translator with vietnamese and see how good/bad it is and give feedback. That would be very helpful for them to get the translator working better for certain languages.~~ I'd do it, but i still can't read vietnamese. gotta make time to learn~~

[serene fern]

Hey google translate is not accurate too what can you expect

[slim kayak]

They aren't using Google translate anymore! Can't remember which program they're using tho, its somewhere in this channel

[serene fern]

joke aside if you use more formal language it turns out better in the translation, most chinese players use more of an online words so the translation is stinky, idk about vietnamese cuz i only know Madeiran ww

[slim kayak]

I mean, I can make out some things in vietnamese, mostly food though, cause I have to be able to order off of a menu
I'm terrible with grammar, but perhaps I'll get back to learning it

[copper bison]

I think they're using deepl or something. Would link the message but on mobile so I'll quote it instead.
We were using google translate for a while but I believe switched to deepl.
-Ktjn
(well i was going to quote it but it broke-)

[leaden kettle]

Random fact : i just noticed that most of the players i met are chineese people 😅

[dapper ginkgo]

A lot of the players I come across are Chinese. Which makes me worry about their sleep schedule.

[leaden kettle]

Same--

[fervent patrol]

One Chinese player I met was really concerned about my sleeping scedule since it was past 10 at night. But they didn't even mention how they're also staying up at the same time as me, lmao-
But it was nice that they showed concern-

[vapid drum]

Holy crabs , never been to that old eden oob 😱 , seems I missed some interesting convo yesterday

[spark lance]

Guys how do i het the green ball from the manta in the prairie because i keep getting teleported back

The ball wont fall down

[tender oasis]

You have to wait a few minutes, until the manta’s release it. It will fall but takes some time.

[spark lance]

I have been waiting for 4 minutes now

[small kindle]

Apparently there’s a meditate spot in air trial??? I’ve never found it. For me at a wind jump I can’t go anywhere as there’s a weird kind of wall that stops me other than to angle it so I’m thrown to the final platform for the star.

[tender oasis]

Hmm it shouldn’t be that long but Ark quests were a long time ago for me and we didn’t have green light daily for a long time now. Are you doing the Ark quests @spark lance ?

[spark lance]

Yes
I just remembered that i didn't do the ark quest

[small kindle]

Try having a friend with you to help the server stabilise maybe? Or wait at where it falls to encourage it to put you in a server where others stand there (which will be less likely as it’s not the current daily)

[tender oasis]

And bug report it if it’s still stubbornly attached to the mantas.

[spark lance]

Ok

[tender oasis]

What kind of meditation spot Smabbles? There is a message spot and the home shrine in the beginning, and there is the statue with the meditation circle which will make you shiny so you can reach the star.

[small kindle]

The shiny part, I never saw it when I did my run and struggled to go anywhere other than up to the final platform when on the wind currents

[sullen relic]

shiny part is after the 3 consecutive arrow jumps (the spot where it's possible to skip the latter two using the first one if you can get past a wind wall)

[supple relic]

Do we know which ts will come?

[hidden quarry]

not yet
beta doesnt get it earlier either

[copper bison]

chia you just said what i was going to say but with 2 words
beta and live tses come at the same time

[hidden quarry]

the less they gotta read the better

[dense whale]

/ooop 5 hours late to the convo but if yall ever need a vietnamese

[sick pendant]

HIDE AND SEEK IN FIRE TRIALS
or just any trials
I see u like playing with death

[sullen relic]

so you can apparently use the table warp to go between the office and the space station, and the distance is actually mind boggling

[prisma swallow]

Is the fire trial the end of all the season material? Cuz when fire trial comes, there will still be 28 days remaining for the season (in live)

[dense whale]

/hey guys why does the webpage for deepl online not have languages like vietnamese??? i was gonna test it out online

[tender oasis]

@prisma swallow No, the season won’t end when the fire trial comes. You can still relieve the spirits, and get seasonal candles daily and finish the seasonal constellation in that 28 days even tho there won’t be any new trial left.

[random gull]

i can't say that name anymore? aw ok
@/Kathykitty#8028 did Alex actually go and block it 🤣 🤣 🤣 yall have some good conversations while I'm sleeping let me tell ya

[prisma swallow]

No, the season won’t end when the fire trial comes. You can still relieve the spirits, and get seasonal candles daily and finish the seasonal constellation in that 28 days even tho there won’t be any new trial left.
@tender oasis I know but that's like half the season without anything new

[copper bison]

if the season just ended after fire trial released then the spirits will all go bye and those people who don't buy candles won't get all the cosmetics they wanted

[tender oasis]

Fire trial can be delayed too, like the last ark quest which came pretty late. We don’t really know tbh what will happen in live (or beta).

[potent heron]

oop my message got instantly deleted. Did I say a banned word? I didn't think so

[sterile plinth]

Yup, you did, it was the one at the end 👀

[potent heron]

Must be a new one ahaha

[spark lance]

How's the cooldown my dudes?

[potent heron]

people said the word yesterday. What happened 👀

[spark lance]

omg-
Half a minute
This Is a record

[random gull]

No new pins on banned words

[sterile plinth]

Why would we pin those?

[potent heron]

Now what am I supposed to call the fire trial krills

[hollow compass]

Because we want to be unruly! Muahaha! But seriously, what did I miss? 🤔 Oh. that word. 😆

@prisma swallow seasons have always been like this, lots of activity in the first 4 weeks and then a quiet lull as everyone just does dailies and try to catch up.

[random gull]

Sometimes they get pinned to explain why. Like if it's an innocent word for sure gets pinned. there's at least two pinned that I can think of

[sterile plinth]

@potent heron you can call them so many different names, something like zappers

[random gull]

fluffy krills

[potent heron]

the shadows

[finite meteor]

deadly fluffies

[vital sentinel]

Worm on string

[random coral]

I just like to call them worm boi’s

[vital sentinel]

Mmmmmmmm cloudy worm

[kindred fossil]

dust bunnies

[worn field]

soot sprites

[hollow compass]

But soots are adorable and helpful.

[random coral]

Exactly, the dust bunnies are adorable and they wanna be helpful and hug you but the fire makes them kill us 😔

[hollow compass]

Why did I get beaned for that? Are we not talking about the tiny dust bunnies in Totoro? They are called soots and they’re not like the krill shadows in fire trial.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand why I’m being beaned.

[copper bison]

i don't really get it either

[random coral]

Ooo I just found another name for them, flying beans

[chrome halo]

Krills I draw are just big beans so that’s accurate

[alpine field]

Big black beans radiating blue and red disco lights for the dancing floor

[static glade]

Quick question, will they be keeping the color changing ultimate gift?

[random gull]

no that was a bug and it's been patched already

[static glade]

Aw ok

[lavish leaf]

when beta server open

[random gull]

check #beta-faq for that! beta access is wiped and new invites are sent before each new season to test but we have no time frame. you can sign up to be pinged when invites are out in the faq

[vital sentinel]

Ghibli : have smol and cute soots
Sky : we have those too but bigger

[tiny umbra]

What's the banned word?

[slim kayak]

Yeah... best to stick with something else
Like dust bunnies, or worms, or owls

[hollow compass]

death owls

[dapper ginkgo]

Fluffies

[past abyss]

Yikes, the new air trial is a lot harder than the old one.

[hollow compass]

Yeah, that's beta for you. We always get the basic version first and then the fleshed out final one.

[dapper ginkgo]

Every trial got an overhaul.

Except the earth trial. I don't see any difference between the basic version and the overhauled version.

Or maybe it's just my memory fails to serve.

[slim kayak]

They redesigned the checkpoints and patched up a lot of skips. The blocks at the end were slowed down to make it easier

[kindred fossil]

in one update there used to be two rocks that stood out but then removed the next update, wonder what's up with that

[dapper ginkgo]

Ah, I was talking about design differences. Y'know how the trials looked a lot more ghost town than they do now.

Then again Earth Trial never really looked that dead to begin with. It somewhat reminded me of a city for some reason.

[tiny umbra]

It reminded me of a limestone city, especially that one wall with the hole and broken structure

[hexed mica]

i hope fire trial wont be that hard

[oak berry]

fire trial is something alright, especially solo

[random gull]

just bring friends as a battery

[hollow compass]

It's already out. You should try it and practice for Live.

[oak berry]

teamwork and bravery is key!

[random gull]

I'm currently acting as an afk battery on a beta cr phone in my desk drawer at work

[hexed mica]

i dont have beta, im just saying it here because talking about trials that are not released yet in #general-sky-discussion is not allowed

[slim kayak]

I agree with dragon. Its... something alright

[dapper ginkgo]

I won't say anything.

[random gull]

I feel like people who intentionally come to this channel are seeking out spoilers

[tiny umbra]

i hope fire trial wont be that hard
@hexed mica A friend with piggyback unlocked is a must,

[dapper ginkgo]

I'm just not saying anything about the trials that aren't out yet so that I'll have more tears of people who spend two hours on it to drink.

[oak berry]

or if you want to do it another way, you can hold hands

[twilit vault]

I’m seeking spoilers for the next ts 👀> I feel like people who intentionally come to this channel are seeking out spoilers :sLaugh:
@random gull

[dapper ginkgo]

We get TS same time as Live.

[tiny umbra]

Aha beta doesnt get ts early, we're on the edge of our seat as much as you are

[random gull]

yeah beta doesn't get TS any earlier than live

[twilit vault]

😂😂😂 yess im jk

[slim kayak]

We dont actually test ts we actually got them taken out for the first few because we didn't need to test them anymore. The devs put them back in so we dont get bored

[random gull]

the teaser will be out some time today though! yall didn't see that typo

[hollow compass]

maybe they put the TS back in for us to test the 11th wing...?

[slim kayak]

I mean, we're testing the ts system now I guess? Also the 11th wing, but without the orbit bug, ios live players would have gotten 11th wing before us

[dapper ginkgo]

The devs put them back in so we dont get bored
sigh "Fiine. You can go play with the TS too."

[twilit vault]

Hmmm how would the 11th wing look like 🤔

[random gull]

FUN FACT i just found out if you pick up a crab and warp to a friend, the crab warps with you

[tiny umbra]

Beta will get One ts system, as a treat
YES thats how youre able to bring crabs to the sunset stadium from the valley temple without geting tired

[dapper ginkgo]

OH MY GOODNESS KAI THAT'S POGGERS!!

All the more reason to clear up these missing assignments.

[random gull]

I am carrying a crab on a cr now

[oak berry]

crab sees the world!

[twilit vault]

Someone should try bring a crab back home

[dapper ginkgo]

"You see Craig (the name I give to the crebs), everything the light touches is our land."
"What about the area covered in shadows over there?"
"That's Eden. We don't go there."

[random gull]

it does not work. I just went home and crab is gone

[tiny umbra]

I have tried, it just dissapears
tfw theres crabs in eden

[oak berry]

everything but home at least

[dapper ginkgo]

It actually just falls on the floor as if you just dropped it after you go home.

[tiny umbra]

I think the thing is the map changing, like you cant bring a forest temple crab to valley social, but you can bring a valley temple crab to the stadium oob since there's no map change

[twilit vault]

Yea i think anything but map change will work

[stoic crow]

i'm sorry for interrupting but i want to try something

!betaspoilers

[gilded parrot]

Content from the beta is considered a spoiler and shouldn’t be posted in this channel. To ask or post about it, scroll down to the beta-related channels like #beta-discussion and #beta-screenshots-videos. Thank you!

[stoic crow]

hmm

[tiny umbra]

I mean it is beta related

[brisk condor]

that sad moment when you wanted the baby spell but forgot the shop wasn't at home in beta anymore and so you have to go to ark but when you get there you remember you joined beta for sanctuary and don't have any of the colored lights so there's no shop and no baby spells for me

[tiny umbra]

But the colored light quests are still there?

[kindred fossil]

think they meant that they didn't complete the quests, AKA lazy

[random gull]

wow snow that command is much shorter than omgomghaveyouseenthe

[slim kayak]

but that command is more fun kai

[random gull]

it is XD tbh I feel like I owe at least 2 beta friends an apology rn for being afk and them warping to me for high five quest. my phone is in my desk and I'm being a battery

[lilac solstice]

Ya Know. I enjoy going online and then just meeting random people. It's peaceful in beta because it's so silent. I met someone and helped them on their quests.

[random gull]

it's rare for me to find grey skykids in beta anymore

[lilac solstice]

I want to make all the friends in beta

[random gull]

hang around me for an hour. half my friends list gonna warp to me at some point anyways

[slim kayak]

lol just watch me kai

[random gull]

I mean I'm afk rn so if you warped to me you're just beeping at my afk skykid

I am friends with everyone I'm attached to tho for reference we started with 3 and ppl warped

[slim kayak]

omg why are you with so many people

[random gull]

this is my life

[random coral]

I would join but I’m sadly not friends with any of the other players besides Kai 😔✌️

[slim kayak]

we already have a full server

[random gull]

I always get 4p hand hold quest within minutes of opening beta saying I'm friends with most beta players is not an exaggeration

[hollow compass]

Lol, that moment when you log on to find Kai surrounded by "frenz", they then poof (it's ok, they had good reason!) and Aeras appears instead!

I'm playing Eden with a controller, btw. It's slightly easier in the red rain area.

[quaint onyx]

Anyone got any boats left?

[oak berry]

i have some! i dont use them but i stocked up

[random gull]

lol blep did I typo in game again was trying to type without taking my phone out of my desk drawer

[hollow compass]

I don't know. I don't think so?

[random gull]

you just put frenz in quotes so I thought that was me making a silly typo again

[hollow compass]

I have a few boats left, because I just never use them.

Kai, oooh, nah, I meant your friends are perhaps not friend friends, you know... 😉

[random gull]

XD nah the group I'm with is all people I have unlocked up to piggyback with. they cool peeps aside from abandoning me in home space because they didn't realize I wasn't attached

[hollow compass]

I thought what with you knowing so many it would be hard to remember each and every one of them.

[dapper ginkgo]

Imagine if there was no server limit.
Kai has an army behind them.

[random gull]

tbh that would actually happen. I'd crash the server with how many people I know

45 skykid tall piggyback stack though

[dapper ginkgo]

. V That's kai.

[copper bison]

i can imagine seeing a random moff in that situation watching kai run around with like 45 people on their back and just being super confused

[random gull]

I did an 8 person tall stack in fire trial

[dapper ginkgo]

Guys my grape fell on the floor. 😔
.. wait WRONG SERVER

[hollow compass]

Moth be like: "That must be an NPC doing a tutorial or something."

And finally, I can get Forest Auntie hair.

[copper bison]

yeah, i can see that as their explanation. a lot of moffs think that the shadows running around are npcs. (for some reason i was an exception as a moff- )

[dapper ginkgo]

Their movements were too human-like to be bots. So I never thought they were NPCs, but my biggest fear; people.

So I just... ran away from them.

[oak berry]

i was also an exception thinking they were npcs but another thing was that i barely friended anyone while being a moth

[random gull]

I never really had a chance to process the grey skykids when I first started XD got whisked on a speedrun by an experienced player and then by the next day I was like oh this is how that works

lol more friends showed up got prairie elevator in a room of just my friends.

[copper bison]

i just went "oh those are probably real people" and that's it.

[dapper ginkgo]

The first time in prairie, my most vivid memory is that someone was dead and people were loopdancing around the dead guy.

[tiny umbra]

I just went “oh those are real people, lemme just avoid them like the plague then to avoid socialization”

[random gull]

Tiki you witnessed the making of the foxband coffin dance music video

[slim kayak]

my first friend ubered me through wasteland. I didn't even have time to process the krill

[dapper ginkgo]

Tiki you witnessed the making of the foxband coffin dance music video :crylaughLOLOLOL:
The foxband coffin dance was how I discovered Sky
Amazing. Truly stellar.

[random gull]

@random coral sorry for ping but when I'm not afk I need to get warp with u XD just saw u pop up on screen

[random coral]

Okie XD I was just waiting to see if people were gonna do Oreo

[random gull]

my group wasn't at least. half of us are afk. my phone's in my desk drawer and at least 2 others are at work

[tiny umbra]

I’m struggling to remember if I actually met met anyone as a moth, weird cause I spent a lot of time as a moth
Maybe it was cause I bought yellow cape and a new hair almost immediately oop
..... ok I Legit don’t remember did people even exist back then ?
Or did I just like
Not look around wait I’m having a crisis
Edit: I found my old screenshots and there was like no one in them I’ll be back, maybe not

[fresh quiver]

I made friends with other moths because when I joined we were all stuck at home

[copper bison]

i remember my first friend(s) were two moths i met in isle. i can't remember their names exactly, but they left without me to prairie while i stayed behind to explore more and i never saw them again

[dapper ginkgo]

Most of my friends during my moth days offered me. The first time I ever offered was in eden with a veteran.

[tiny umbra]

Oh I do remember my first friend ! They gave me a candle and then tried to drag me and I let go and I never saw them again
But after that I am drawing a blank 😶

[dapper ginkgo]

It was quite appropriate to say they were babysitting me and a few other moths. There were 7 of us and 5 were moths, me included.

[random gull]

tiki tbh that sounds like something I'd do

[dapper ginkgo]

Only me, one moth and the veteran made it out together.

[hollow compass]

When I started there was an NPC who greeted you in Aviary.

[tiny umbra]

I don’t remember the first time I offered, I actually think the first time was a month or so ago

[dapper ginkgo]

tiki tbh that sounds like something I'd do :sLaugh:
Insert that one meme image with that one dude and children on harnesses.

[random gull]

me with my moths ^^

[copper bison]

first time i went to eden, i got dragged in by a moth with isle ponytail. they then proceeded to abandon me and i didn't know i could go home so i had to do eden by myself
(thankfully i did research on eden beforehand or i probably would of died in the last part with no idea of what i was supposed to do.)

[covert socket]

Hello guys, will the capeless cape be available on live version?

[copper bison]

maybe, though it doesn't plan on going to live for a while.

[slim kayak]

we don't know haku. it's been in the game for months now with no eta on if it will go to live

[random gull]

the first time you do eden there's a thing that pops up on the screen that tells you to offer your light to those fallen or something like that. I don't think it lets you continue until you've tapped the icon. like how isle won't let you continue until you go to fly off the ledge

[slim kayak]

i go too fast to read those kinds of things

[covert socket]

Alright thank you! ^-^

[copper bison]

yeah, but the thing was back then i didn't read those things
probably would of accepted the one statue and then have no idea what to do next lol

[dapper ginkgo]

I only lit up two children first eden run because my wings are too precious.

[random gull]

yeah you may skip reading it but I think the game doesn't allow you to do anything but offer your light. in isle whenever you collect wings you'll notice how it forces you to fly off that rock where the one wl is, I think that's how your first eden is too

[copper bison]

actually first time i played i didn't know how spirit doors worked and just flew up the ledge next to the clouds

[oak berry]

i lit as many as i could and then stopped at the final rock rain area with a friend and stared at it trying to figure out how to survive my third friend already knew we were supposed to die and pushed on without us

[slim kayak]

yeah, it doesn't. there are 2 statues in the very beginning that show you what you have to do. of course, moths will still hold onto their wings because most don't expect to die at the end

[dapper ginkgo]

I just followed the others! I didn't know what to do!

Although I only lit two statues. I didn't know I was supposed to die.

[copper bison]

i ended up deleting most of my old screenshots so i have to remember my moth days with my poor memory
i was so scared of golden wasteland that i did research on vault and eden

[tiny umbra]

Me trying to remember what I did during my first Eden
I know a vet helped me through and they dropped me off at the point of no return and told me what I needed to do, it was awesome
I did research on krills but not wasteland so I was here with a vague idea of krills being in wasteland but not believing it until I got there, I thought krills were the Eden final boss

[oak berry]

i actually had to do eden twice since the first time i chickened out

[sour kelp]

I had eden spoiled for me before my first run rip

[dapper ginkgo]

I just dropped my sister off at the point of no return, told her what she needed to do. She was still confused and stressed. I was giving out such vague answers to her questions because I didn't know how to answer!
Ahh turned out it only stressed her more.

[tiny umbra]

When ya trying not to spoil the game but they keep asking
I actually got spoiled for Eden and that’s why I went when I did and not later, didn’t wanna get spoiled more

[eager fulcrum]

i don’t remember most of my first eden but i know i was clueless also i don’t remember having someone with me but i remember linking hands with someone at the end.. i thought it was one of the ones that are flying around at the end but i might’ve lit someone

[spark lance]

i was in a call with my friend when i took him through eden for the first time
it's so hard trying to explain things in person without accidently giving away the ending

[sour kelp]

Oh and by "before my first run" I mean before I was even able to play sky

[random coral]

My first time through eden was very bad, I was doing it pretty normal but once the rocks started hitting me and I started losing my stars I started panicking because I didn’t know you could recollect them and once I got down to 2 wedges I got so freaked out that I deleted the game right as enchantment was starting I hate myself for deleting and missing the season

[slim kayak]

right before going into eden for the first time, my friend told me "happy dying!" and I was like what....

[copper bison]

I don't really have any interesting experiences on my first Eden run, but I do have a story about guiding my friend on their first Eden run via vc because I couldn't get on Sky that day. There was... A lot of screaming.

[eager fulcrum]

i just told my friend to “give them all away” (was trying very hard not to spoil) and she was like.. huh.. but after i led her through she got the idea

[slim kayak]

first eden run was in beta too, so empty server

[random gull]

so I already knew what to do but looking like a moth in the NetEase server on my first eden run I got kidnapped by a vet. they were not shy about telling me what to do

[tiny umbra]

Pulled a few moths through Eden and when we were at the tunnel I said “have fun dying” and they slapped me

[spark lance]

when my friend figured out that you die in eden and have to recollect all our light he was surprisingly chill about it? he really liked the idea of it for some reason, im a little concerned lol

[copper bison]

and then later you go "...Yeah, I already knew all of this-"

[random gull]

I was trying not to get caught as not speaking Chinese so I just kept saying ok cuz it's like one of a few words I know

[tiny umbra]

when my friend figured out that you die in eden and have to recollect all our light he was surprisingly chill about it? he really liked the idea of it for some reason, im a little concerned lol
@spark lance There’s a reason everyone’s hyped on Sunday reset

[spark lance]

me marking my calender every sunday for eden

[eager fulcrum]

me and my friend normally do eden every reset but bc she’s been busy we haven’t been able to we did last eden on a saturday i think

[copper bison]

i just say "my chinese bad" and they go "oh." one time i told some netease skykids i wasn't from china and had broken chinese and one of them went "i was so shocked i could eat a whale"

[random gull]

they figure it out when I say "spirit" instead of "ancestor"

[tiny umbra]

I know the JP community says “rainforest” and “abandoned land” instead of forest and wasteland, I adore the little differences in different languages

[random gull]

now I wanna switch my phone UI to japanese and see what everything in sky is called omg

[spark lance]

i'm curious to know too now lol

[tiny umbra]

I do think prairie is still prairie but I’m not too sure
And valley is canyon/gorge

[copper bison]

pretty sure chinese call vault "forbidden pavilion" or something. im going to go change my ui to chinese, hop on netease and do some translating lol

[spark lance]

forbidden pavilion sounds really cool lol

[tiny umbra]

how do you change ui
Wait i think i found it, they dont have my mother tongue anyways

[random gull]

for sky the UI language is automatically your device language for android but ios can make sky language different from their device language. I have a friend who's phone is in german but sky is in english

[tiny umbra]

What's the thing for ios

[random gull]

I'll take a screenshot from my ipad when I get home for you lyze! it'll be a couple of hours tho 1 more hour at work then I need to grab some groceries

[tiny umbra]

Take your time! I'll play with it myself as well

[random gull]

it's in the settings for the app itself if that helps. go to device settings and scroll to sky

[tiny umbra]

OH I FOUND IT
Dammit, I know none of these languages

[random gull]

I only know English and Japanese well enough to use as UI. and a teeny bit of Chinese

[tiny umbra]

LOL I guess i could brush up on my spanish

[spark lance]

Breaking my old records to do fast trials everyday

[copper bison]

don't mind me just trying to fiddle with the translator to give me any translation for prairie other than "uno"

[teal compass]

if anyone needs Chinese/Eng translation I’m happy to help

[vapid drum]

I hope it won’t be a repeat TS , but I’m afraid it is . If not , then tgc better has the new 11 wedge cape design ready 😍

[oak berry]

theres a design, it just hasnt been implemented yet iirc. it'll still show as 10 wings on the cape

[random gull]

I specifically don't want a repeat TS because I get saltier every time something repeats while boogie has not returned 🤣

[copper bison]

alright, here's what i have, though they might not be 100% correct because i have broken chinese and my chinese friend who helped me has broken english. (plus we also used a translator so that's probably wrong, considering they translated prairie into "uno")

isle is "morning island", prairie is " cloud field", forest is "rainforest", valley is "red cloud valley" (or something like that lmao), wasteland is "dusk/twilight soil(???)", vault is " forbidden pavilion/court(???)" eden is "storm's eye sacrifice" home is... i have no idea. i've gotten from encounter land and situation.

again it's probably off, i have decent english and broken chinese and my friend has decent chinese but broken english

sorry for the long post and if it's in the wrong channel ;v;

[slim kayak]

Storm eye sacrifice... kind of a spoiler

[copper bison]

yeah, it is. i ran it through Google Translate again, it gave me Eye of the Storm Sacrifice so yeah, definitely spoilery.

[spark lance]

You know these are kind of lore fuel

Specially the name for vault ... Forbidden pavilion

We've discussed about it a bit in #lore-discussion-spoilers once

[teal compass]

@copper bison valley=sunset valley , wasteland=dusk/twilight land (the word for soil in this context means land), home=meeting area (遇=meet, 境=area, place, location)

[copper bison]

ah, thank you! we weren't sure what words to use to describe those ones so we kind of just used Google Translate

[kindred bluff]

home used to be a semi-post apocalyptic city flooded with water in the concept arts, i just think thats cool and i would love to explore it hehe

[copper bison]

holy island season tho-

[kindred bluff]

i mean like a real city in our world, and it would transition into the whimsical world of sky through isle
you'd come out of this little hallway and come out onto the roof of the building and see this mass of water everywherre with little buildings poking out with dirtied furnitire on the top 🏙

[copper bison]

that would be interesting

[kindred bluff]

i should drop the conversation because its not beta and stuff, but you can find it on tom zhao's website or the sky twitter i dunno its cool!

((https://www.tomzhao.com/))

[dark quail]

I really like the idea – reminds me of Flower in a way

[copper bison]

anyways, what i found out today is that in netease sky only english and chinese are supported. any other language defaults to chinese but the date on the MOTD will be in the language ui your phone is on.

back to beta talk, how's the testing going?

[kindred bluff]

good! ive been popping in and out as i'll be pretty busy until november probably.. but if theres a new update i'll seek out the befores and afters

[slim kayak]

ah. the calmness of beta chat . I haven't found any bugs so far, and i'm still candle broke.

[copper bison]

hoping to be able to get back in, really starting to think i'll need to buy a new device to play sky again. (that of which i can't afford.)

[valid terrace]

Coming here as a fugitive from the extreme TS hype, I need a calmer environment for a moment

[tender oasis]

Had some fun with the krills today, i’m getting a lot of server splits in general but besides these nothing much. Currently chilling in the pity room .

[eager fulcrum]

Coming here as a fugitive from the extreme TS hype, I need a calmer environment for a moment
@valid terrace i feel u i think i’m just gonna vibe in home area for a bit until teaser happens

[valid terrace]

Currently listening to Funkytown on loop

it oddly fits

[copper bison]

if it's rhythm bird cape spirit or boogie spirit i will purposely krill my 0 wl netease sky child-

(not really, i wouldn't do that to my skykid)

[tiny umbra]

Hello people my ears seem to be ringing from the hype even thought discord makes no sound
Kai those names are soo cool

[valid terrace]

I was doing a...summoning ritual with the Ult-Gift mask at one point

what has gotten into me

I mean it would make sense for it to be included if it were to be perhaps

I keep looking outside of my shelter to see the madness

[slim kayak]

gen chat's 3 min cooldown reminds me of the 15 minute cooldown we had here once

[valid terrace]

w h a t

[slim kayak]

actually that wasn't the worst of it. this chat got turned into read only when people started spamming rude emotes. that's why external emotes were turned off for a while

[valid terrace]

What caused it?

[slim kayak]

First access wipe

It wasn't even the invite wave. People were waiting for the access wipe, thinking that invites would come at the same time and got mad when that wasn't the case

[valid terrace]

Ah.

[tiny umbra]

the worst of it was when they caused the tipping point to archive the android channel 👁️

[slim kayak]

And then after this chat turned to read only, they moved to the Android channel. You can still see the remains of the chaos that happened then

[valid terrace]

...Oh dear...

[tender oasis]

Don’t forget the most recent 30 mins cooldown

[tiny umbra]

When the channel is a giant wall of teal and red you know something went down

[late scarab]

So I just met someone on beta who had the swing cosmetic, and I think every cosmetic and he only has been on for two months not only that he has the Christmas wings how is this possible?

[quick oriole]

Hacker :/

[late scarab]

I asked them but they had to translate my English to Chinese and they weren’t getting the message

[gilded parrot]

bruh... talking about hacks and hackers is against the rules @late scarab

[quick oriole]

If they have the swing they could possibly have been an older beta player from Jan-Feb but the cape you mention hasn’t been released in beta yet at all. The only way to get it is by hacking.

[late scarab]

But they only had been on two months I’m so confused and it was the worst because they couldn’t understand me

[quick oriole]

Well if they’ve on only been on for 2 months they just hacked to get a bunch of stuff, but I don’t think we should discuss it further cause it’s a touchy subject

[late scarab]

Yeah but thank you!

[tiny umbra]

That person isnt the only hacker ever, report them if you see them again

[oak berry]

an enchantment ts!

[hidden quarry]

hackers are unfortunately dime in a dozen in beta, please please report them

[prime lintel]

hello everyone I will be hiding here as gen chat is scaring me

[radiant drum]

@late scarab please don't try to circumvent our filters to talk about hackers. i have deleted your message

gen chat is scary at times, but please remember that this chat is not a second gen chat and topics should still be about beta

[analog citrus]

so its like only 12 days (less if you got the fur cape TS bug) in live until we can get 150 wings? Wonder if we even gonna get to "test" the new look or if they saving it for a live surprise

[late scarab]

@radiant drum I’m sorry I was just stuck on how he had so much I didn’t mean to circumvent out filters

[radiant drum]

it's alright, but the best we can do about the hacking situation is not give them the visibility and attention they want if you ever encounter people like that again, or if they are your friend in-game, please report them!

[prime lintel]

yeah, I was wondering the same thing with the 150 wings, though I wonder how many people in beta will actually be able to get 150 wings as they would have had to be beta testers for several seasons

[tiny umbra]

There was a bug a while back where you could buy em all, so more beta testers have them than expected

[prime lintel]

there was a what
and I missed it??

[analog citrus]

You can get 150 in beta already. but it doesnt look any different. There was a bug a few seasons ago where you could buy the buffs from all the seasonal spirits you had unlocked in orbit

[prime lintel]

interesting
kind of hope the 150 wings will be a surprise for live though as it's such a huge milestone

oh I see. is that expected to change though?

[analog citrus]

Ktjn mentioned that they have the design done but just not released in beta yet

[prime lintel]

oh Mirian, just saw your comment. Sorry about that. I was trying to make a joke earlier, but it didn't translate well through text

[late scarab]

Wait we might get 150 winged lights?

[prime lintel]

between the Prophecy trials and the traveling spirits, iOS is inching toward 150 with Android not too far behind

[late scarab]

Omg sorry Never Mind I See awesome!

[prime lintel]

soon™

[dapper ginkgo]

sigh One word. Twitter.
Came here for sanctuary.
I wonder what 150 cape design looks like?...

[daring parrot]

Yo, is the TS already on beta? If so, can someone share the prices with me?

[tender oasis]

Ts comes to beta at the same time it comes to live, so we dont have any information in advance

[vast basin]

Thats kinda sad

[daring parrot]

Ahh... usually we somehow get to know the prices a early.
If its not because of beta, then why

[dapper ginkgo]

I thought it was predictions.

[tender oasis]

Either hacked content or some information from the chinese version of sky which has totally different schedule and pricing etc. Which is not related to this version of sky.
Dark was faster

[dapper ginkgo]

Dang. I thought they were just really good at predicting or players who came from the future; but that's just delusional. It's still fun to dream though.

[worthy beacon]

it says that my invite is invalid

[copper bison]

chinese version of sky's last ts was welcome spirit from rhythm. i believe they haven't had any from the enchantment pool due to prophecy not being out yet (could be wrong tho idk how chinese ts pools work-)

[dapper ginkgo]

Didn't Sanctuary just start for them?

[runic path]

@dapper ginkgo sanctuary already started. I think the sanctuary is near end in cn server

[random gull]

general chat still has a longer slowmode than beta I already did a candle run in beta or I’d just go hang out and see who I see in beta again

[copper bison]

in chinese sky there are 15 days of sanctuary left.

[random gull]

I kinda wanna go in there still looking like a moth when they get prophecy and speed run the trials on day one

[copper bison]

i can't do the trials completely due to the wl at the end lol. excited for chinese days of mischeif, starts on oct 31 (30th for me i think timezones e.e)

[valid terrace]

The Chinese TS trees though

eldritch monstrositrees

[copper bison]

indeed

[valid terrace]

why would you put an LV 4 emote on another branch entirely so you can have one without another

no really

[tiny umbra]

It's like when you solve a math problem in a completely different way from the teacher but you still got it right and you have no idea how

[valid terrace]

putting cosmetics behind those emotes too in that manner and w h y

It's like when you solve a math problem in a completely different way from the teacher but you still got it right and you have no idea how
@tiny umbra

That but your method is incredibly incoherent

[copper bison]

i remember thoughtful director just completely didn't have a wingbuff
(in chinese sky)

[random gull]

uh if you’re seeing TS trees I wouldn’t trust it. it’s either speculation or hacked content (and the latter could still change before the TS comes to live)

[tiny umbra]

At least those trees actually look like trees and not like ferns

[valid terrace]

they what

so they had Thoughtful Director, Respectful Pianist and...?

[tiny umbra]

Pianist, Director, Actor, Spin-Dancer, since juggler and dancer were merged to be the same spirit we wouldn't know

[valid terrace]

...weird

wait they did WHAT

what’s the purpose behind that at all

[stark sundial]

it was Troupe Juggler I think, but idk if they would even change that

[copper bison]

yeah, chinese sky merged a bunch of spirits together into one and i looked at the spirit (which was what was supposed to be the rhythm juggler) and went: "what-"

[valid terrace]

wait let me see that
DM images

[tiny umbra]

Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak spirits stronger

[copper bison]

idk if i have any, i can check though

[stark sundial]

they only added a red flower and changed the juggler hair for the dancer one (a brush for another brush )

[random gull]

yeah I don’t go on netease sky much it’s weird and Kai is my only friend there

[oblique stump]

I haven't tried it yet

[valid terrace]

I’m curious to see it but honestly too scared to

[oak berry]

they combined the spirits? does that mean juggler hair doesnt exist?

[tiny umbra]

I'm sure the netease server would think we're weird as well

[random gull]

it’s also hard keeping up with 4 accounts juggler hair will probably either appear on the right spirit or the wrong spirit later on

[copper bison]

i don't have any pictures myself, i'll look it up.

[stark sundial]

they just changed the hair and added a red flower, nothing more, it was for an special occasion tho in China

[random gull]

oh they definitely do Lyze XD they talk about it without realizing I have a built in translator on my phone

[tiny umbra]

I'm waiting for the crossover fanfic

[dapper ginkgo]

[spark lance]

[serene fern]

it’s also hard keeping up with 4 accounts juggler hair will probably either appear on the right spirit or the wrong spirit later on
@random gull (sorry for ping) For CN server since they combined, some players already see the juggler changed in orbit From what I heard the reactions of the players is "hmmmm... "

[mossy lintel]

Hello, I wanted to know if there is any new TS system applied in Beta version.

[serene fern]

this #beta-announcements message

keep in mind it is not going to live any time soon, it is just getting tested in beta

[shy pumice]

So i stumbled upon this web survey while i was playing sky beta, They asked me for my email address. I wanna ask that am i getting that prize in sky beta or sky live?......PING ME UP, IF U HAVE AN ANSWER

[random gull]

the survey is the same in beta or live. they’re probably encourage you to give the candle pack to your live account if you win but keep in mind they have 50 million or more downloads so winning isn’t a very large chance

[uneven dust]

Im so happy even tho im busy of work i got the anubis mask just today in beta lmao 😭

[random gull]

Congrats!!

[vapid briar]

External survey rewards would go to your Live account.

in-game surveys (that don't ask for email addresses) go to the game version you took it on.

[random gull]

I've noticed both of those surveys have a nonbinary option now in the demographics section I cried I was happy about that

[vapid briar]

Glad to hear it, representation matters.

[tiny umbra]

I've noticed both of those surveys have a nonbinary option now in the demographics section I cried I was happy about that
@random gull RIGHT? ?

[worn trail]

I asked in live but no answer. When did the fire work staff price change?

[vapid briar]

what do you mean?

[worn trail]

The fire work staff was 30 hearts before it's just 20 now?

[vapid briar]

it's always been 20 to my knowledge

[sullen relic]

the only item in the instrument slot i recall being 30 hearts was the table

[worn trail]

One sec

.... Always has been 20 hearts?

I always thought I was 30😐 sorry for the trouble

[vapid briar]

Yeah. I'm looking at time stamp from when it was entered in the game data, it's been 20 since before the game launched.

[spark lance]

Makes sense. I bought it when its 20 🤷🏼‍♀️

[jagged marsh]

What's improved on isle ?

[worn trail]

I was waiting to buy the 5 candle blessings and even saved up 30 hearts😂. After buying the blessing only I realised

[jagged marsh]

20 ? 30 ? What

[sullen relic]

the original isle area, pixpy? i don't know if they've made any changes to the level outside of the cave of prophecy, but the flight toggle change actually makes things a lot more manageable around the two-player door now (much easier not to get turned around in the cloud tunnel, and much easier to just fly up for the winged light if you want it)

[jagged marsh]

There is a wing light at the top area now ?

[worn trail]

There is a wing light at the top area now ?
@jagged marsh always has been(no meme reference)

[vapid briar]

The only things that cost 30 hearts are:
Purple cape
Table
No face Mask

[sullen relic]

off the cloud tunnel to the right of the temple entrance, yeah -- you normally have to open a two-player door and solve a puzzle inside to get butterflies to boost you up to the top of the mountain area, where you'd find a winged light inside the tunnel passage leading up

[jagged marsh]

Ah well i won't be getting anubis mask because of previous build my seasonal heart turned to normal

[vapid briar]

no winged light were added to Isle of Dawn (aside from the Trials)

[worn trail]

I got the table and mask too maybe I got them all mixed

[jagged marsh]

It's gonna be 8 month of me using beta sky on nov 1

Anyways im heading to see the winged light

[vapid briar]

There's some minor visual polish in Isle of Dawn, nothing impactful enough to list out specifically.

[spark lance]

Ktjn's pfp always makes me think it would be great if there are some krills with fox mask

[worn trail]

The textures of snow has been degraded a bit in valley😬 but the underground "cave" looks real cool(in the middle of valley)

[jagged marsh]

On ktjn's birthday it should be like
-krill head was changed to ktjn's sky kid head for a limited time

I still wonder why they remove shadows from office it really looked good

I'm more intrested on graphics and what could be added but some low end devices would get worse fps

[tiny umbra]

I also could have sworn the fireworks staff changed in price

[sullen relic]

...i really hope that player i just saw in forest was actually trying to go capeless and didn't fall asleep in the rain

[worn trail]

Maybe there can be more settings like anti aliasing, shadows, etc. So that low end devices can still support them

[jagged marsh]

Volumemetric lighting would add much better god rays but I'm not sure if the game engine support hq vl lights

Global illumination in sky but would be laggy on other devices

[worn trail]

And the battery drain it gonna get bigger with all those fancy graphics. I love them but

[jagged marsh]

My device supports various graphics but not sure abt others

[worn trail]

Mine can only do upto boosted def 30fps

[jagged marsh]

water reflection should not take much gpu procces but the current water reflection is slow and changes constant

Mine can only do upto boosted def 30fps
@worn trail high performance 60 fps !

[worn trail]

Imagine playing sky with an rtx 3090 on a 240hz Nvidia g sync monitor 🤩🤩

[jagged marsh]

I have alot of idea for graphical implementations but due to engine limitations i don't think it's possible

[worn trail]

We need pc version with everything lol

[vapid briar]

it's less about what the engine is capable of and more about the device that will be running the game.

[jagged marsh]

Atleast the game is beautiful in visual !

[vapid briar]

A lot of what you're asking for are like...PC game features, mobile device graphics chips just aren't that robust because they have to do a ton of work for how tiny they are.

[worn trail]

We gonna start Samsung s7 edge all over again

[jagged marsh]

Mobile devices can support shadows !

[vapid briar]

Can Sky be 1080p at 120fps? Yes! Will your phone or tablet melt if it tries to run that? Also Yes!

Sky doesn't have shadows...too graphics intensive.

we have the illusion of shadows using textures and shaders.

[worn trail]

SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE! Already forgot the story?

[jagged marsh]

@vapid briar my mobile is capable of 120 fps but for now it only supports 90 fps on ||pubg|| and ||fortnite||

[worn trail]

Ah oneplus 8 pro

[stark cloud]

Mine only can 30fps.
Battery: Say sike now!?!!

[jagged marsh]

I was wondering sky on 90 fps xD

[late mountain]

So who can hook my device up to a PC graphics chip? Like just imagine all us sky kids walking around with a block of pure processing power in our backpack hooked up to our phones and tablets.

[vapid briar]

pubg and fortnite do not require the kind of rendering Sky does.

[sullen relic]

wait, if sky doesn't have shadows, then is the "shadow" cast by our sky kids as we fly through the air something else?
or am i missing the context?

[worn trail]

But not everyone can you know get past even 30fps on their device

[jagged marsh]

Yeah because those game runs on unreal engine and sky runs by thier own engine

[vapid briar]

spearmonkey I answered that in my post above

[jagged marsh]

Thanks to motionblur sky looks so smooth

[sullen relic]

my mind can't process what in the world the game is doing if it's an illusion using just textures and shaders then to actually get that to match up

[late mountain]

I take it in efforts to not melt devices that's also why krill light can go through walls? Not lantern light though I think

[vapid briar]

Skykid's shadows are a special kind of illusion

[worn trail]

I guess we can get better graphics for sky maybe in two years? Right now a lot of devices still struggle

[slim kayak]

our skykids' shadows are just a ton of circles formed into a kid-like shape

[jagged marsh]

I love how the game do not have those graphical stuff and it's more like diseny pixar dreamy type

[vapid briar]

Aeras knows what's up. ⚫

[late mountain]

Its funny when occasionally they spread out and you look like michelin man

[jagged marsh]

our skykids' shadows are just a ton of circles formed into a kid-like shape
@slim kayak yeah if it would render a sky kid with cape it would lead to fps drop and tgc don't want that

Sky: path traced global illumination

PTGI

Also impossible

[oak berry]

I dont think my poor little s8 could handle that

[sullen relic]

it'd probably lose a lot of its visual charm if they went for photorealistic graphics, the current look feels like an artistic choice

[jagged marsh]

Will nitendo get better graphics or the same ?

[slim kayak]

my s10 can't go in prairie without getting toasty. i couldn't imagine it getting any more detailed. then no phone could play sky

[vital sentinel]

sky in 120 fps

[desert mango]

Tgcs engine is amazing and is probably my favourite looking engine...I’m yet to see a mobile game with better graphics and smoothness .. nothing flows like water like sky .. yep the shadows 🤭 very clever and it does the job enough for it to look right

[jagged raven]

hi i have a question about beta stuff, if you wanna take part as a beta tester do you need a separate sky account?

[slim kayak]

!betalive

you can link the same email, but the progress will be separate

[gilded parrot]

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

[jagged marsh]

My phone gets kinda gets heated up 90 imagine 120 fps xD

[late mountain]

Yeah, wouldn't want it too realistic, I like their art style. Would be curious to see if a realistic skykid would still have the palm hands and no fingers or if they would separate them though, along with a few other curiosities of mine.

[jagged marsh]

Adding too much graphics will kinda destory thier beautiful art style tho

[sullen relic]

i'm still mildly amused at how the sky kids still manage to point without an index finger

[jagged raven]

!betalive

you can link the same email, but the progress will be separate
@slim kayak ahh okii thank you so muchh

[vital sentinel]

realistic sky would ended up like realistic minecraft lmao

[oak berry]

I feel like realistic skykids would be a lot like harpys, but less bird

[jagged marsh]

i'm still mildly amused at how the sky kids still manage to point without an index finger
@sullen relic less polygon more fps

[sullen relic]

actually, now that you mention it...photorealistic sky kids might actually be kind of unnerving to look at, considering that they've got humanoid facial features but no mouths when unmasked

[worn trail]

And tips to reduce heating while playing sky? I can cook crebs

[jagged raven]

so like basically if you're part of the beta testers even if you have linked the same email your sky kids will be different?

[vapid briar]

correct

[slim kayak]

dust bunnies, but more realistic

[vital sentinel]

@sullen relic their face would be like this 👁️👄👁️

[jagged raven]

okii thanks so muchh

[vapid briar]

you cannot transfer saved data between beta and live, they are completely separate games/accounts with no bearing on one another.

[late mountain]

actually, now that you mention it...photorealistic sky kids might actually be kind of unnerving to look at, considering that they've got humanoid facial features but no mouths when unmasked
That's my wonder though spear, I wonder if they would get a mouth in super realistic XD or if they truly do not have one. like many emotes have mouths although I know that's not much to go off

[vital sentinel]

like this one

[vapid briar]

photorealistic skykids would be a whole lotta uncanny valley going on

[sullen relic]

the spirits don't seem to have mouths either, though a lot of the gestures act like they know the concept of one

[late mountain]

om nom I get a mouth.

[jagged marsh]

This would be nice if you want to play at 30 without heating device or device don't run on default 30 fps and had ro switch to 20 low ress and want to play at 30 fps this shoud work i guess

low res 30 fps

[slim kayak]

getting krill and the dust bunnies to be more realistic would turn the game into a horror game

[sullen relic]

the whole "glowing eyes in a mask" thing would probably look a lot more unnerving in photorealistic graphics too, they just look cute to us when we get used to the game's visuals (but they can still be a bit creepy to look at in a darker map where your sky kid's just staring at the screen from the shadows)

[jagged marsh]

On previous build, when a krill attack a player with low end device it would crash thier game

[late mountain]

Watch us all get fooled and it turns out a realistic skykid looks exactly like they do now and they just run around looking like works of art in our real world

[vital sentinel]

ngl i imagine photorealistic skid eyes would be like fnaf animatronic eyes lol

[slim kayak]

no mask skykid, but their eyes are open

[vital sentinel]

👁️👁️

[worn trail]

Also at the second graphic setting I barely get above 20 FPS most of the time even 12 at times. Any tips or tricks? (Im using SM-P615)

[late mountain]

I dunno, like chibi eyes can blink and stuff, I feel like super realistic skykid eyes would be able to like have those tilts of happy sad ect. Would look cute. Also have to remember skykids are smol and most are highly expressive, I feel like they'd make for a good friend.

[oak berry]

I feel like the glowing eyes would work a lot like how when light reflects off an animal's eyes in the dark

[jagged marsh]

Prairie but it's night

[vital sentinel]

like cat eyes

[oak berry]

And all the time

[worn trail]

@worn trail default 30 fps and look at sky and it will boost fps

[slim kayak]

that'd be a cool april fools prank in sky. switch the time of day in every realm

[vital sentinel]

would be very confusing for new players tho

[jagged marsh]

that'd be a cool april fools prank in sky. switch the time of day in every realm
@slim kayak no no night is better

[late mountain]

No advice?😂
@worn trail make sure all background process are closed. That's about all I can think of

[latent oar]

No advice?😂
@worn trail Game Plugins and Game Booster+ from Galaxy Store would be your choice

[oak berry]

that'd be a cool april fools prank in sky. switch the time of day in every realm
valley but dusk instead of sunset

[sullen relic]

speaking of sky kids looking creepy, posted something in beta screenshots -- that is gonna be freaky in photorealistic graphics

[worn trail]

I have em both!> @worn trail Game Plugins and Game Booster+ from Galaxy Store would be your choice
@latent oar

[jagged marsh]

Days of pranks

-added clown mask
-added clowm hat

[latent oar]

try to lower the resolution with high performance mode? @worn trail

[jagged marsh]

Sadly sky in low res locks tp 20 fps and not 30

it's a battery saving mode for a reason

[worn trail]

I found an app that reduced overheating and removed FPS cap. But I may get banned because removing the cap may count as hacking. So I uninstalled it.

[jagged marsh]

@worn trail no don't try that !

[worn trail]

The app removed it . Got rock solid 60fps. I could play pubg on 60 anyways

[jagged marsh]

@worn trail do not forcefully increase fps if your device is laggy it could be a real problem

It's like giving 10 kg to a weak human

[worn trail]

Got a capable device but the optimization is a bit bad on Android

[late mountain]

Might burn something up, or rather melt then burn

[worn trail]

It reduced the overheating idk how

[slim kayak]

yeah, don't try to get around the fps limit if it's there (not talking about fps drops) don't wanna be like the player who got their phone to 75C

[sullen relic]

at that point, you're trying to turn your phone into your own candle

[worn trail]

Sniff sniff where's that smell coming from?

[late mountain]

I dunno, if the device is already hot before and then it suddenly can get awesome frames and not heat up. Seems too good to be true That is to say something is probably getting burnt out somewhere.

[jagged marsh]

Srsly, don't force a device if it's rendering at 20 or 12 fps it would end up with a black screen not responding

[worn trail]

I dunno, if the device is already hot before and then it suddenly can get awesome frames and not heat up. Seems too good to be true That is to say something is probably getting burnt out somewhere.
@late mountain the app had good reviews and infact their moto is "unlock the true power of Android". I found it hard to believe

[serene fern]

when i turn the brightness off it stops burning as much
but i cant see as clear at the same time

[worn trail]

Told you guys mine does play pubg at default at high graphics no probs

[copper bison]

skykid talking to ts: "ah shoot i'm short a candle, do you take burnt phone candles as a substitute?"

[late mountain]

The rule of life. If its too good to believe then the safe bet is it probably is.

[worn trail]

But the only issue i found was.... Battery consumption increased a bit

[jagged marsh]

Oh and one thing !

I recently updated Android 11 on my oneplus 8 pro. And when i started sky i had a huge fps drops and when i went to eden it suddenly dropped 60 to 5 and 0 fps and screen was not responding, screen went black and made some horrifying constant glitch sound and my device turned off

[slim kayak]

i mean, sky has insane graphics. just look at the clouds! they're the ones causing my phone to overheat

[quick oriole]

Beefy clouds

[worn trail]

Whats sky without clouds?

[slim kayak]

i hope you reported that as a bug
android 11 has had lots of bugs, and the devs could use some more data, since there aren't too many users with android 11 just yet

[oak berry]

Sky without clouds: journey but more social

[late mountain]

Sky without clouds: journey but more social
especially in the sands of golden wasteland.

[jagged marsh]

Sky 2018 had small dots on clouds and on 2019/2020 ver has voxels aka cubes which has been reduced in size and gives a look of a 3d fluffy cloud

also when you get to close you see cubes those are voxels !

[worn trail]

How does the oneplus fare most of the time rock on 60? @jagged marsh

[copper bison]

prairie village would just be a bunch of floating islands or just a deep hole where the clouds were

[jagged marsh]

How does the oneplus fare most of the time rock on 60? @jagged marsh
@worn trail idk i don't get heat issues so i play at 60 every time

[worn trail]

Of course its a true flagship after all

[jagged marsh]

It sorta heats on 90 fps and kinda more at 120

[worn trail]

Previous onepluses were flagship killers but now it's a complete flagship. My mom had 1+ one

[jagged marsh]

I'm getting an i phone 12 pro on next month. my first own ios

I used to play sky on dad's ios that's why i got this far

[quick oriole]

I’ve actually got a new phone coming tomorrow and low-key excited to see how sky performs on it

[worn trail]

Wait you can get more than 60 in sky?

[jagged marsh]

I’ve actually got a new phone coming tomorrow and low-key excited to see how sky performs on it
@quick oriole let's hops it runs at 60

[worn trail]

Which GPU?@quick oriole

[jagged marsh]

@worn trail no only 60 but if they do changes it can run at 90

@quick oriole GPU and RAM ?

[quick oriole]

It’s an iPhone 12 with the a14

[worn trail]

You will get haha

[jagged marsh]

@quick oriole same but mine is a pro and I'm getting it next month

[copper bison]

ive never seen what 60 fps sky looks like actually
anyways im going to head out and try to get more than 2 hours of sleep today, have a good rest of your day/night/etc!

[desert mango]

New iPhone 12 runs easy ..I’m waiting for the iPhone 12 pro max ..so I’ll have a new phone in a couple of weeks

[jagged marsh]

@copper bison i can show you at 60 fps

Let me record

[worn trail]

ive never seen what 60 fps sky looks like actually
@copper bison check out youtube

[potent heron]

You can ask your friends in game

[dreamy gulch]

saw some potion spammer in beta 😱

[serene fern]

potion spammer?

[ember oriole]

How do you spam potions

[dreamy gulch]

vid is not allowed. caught it on vid. cant share. used spells consecutively with no cooldown

[serene fern]

if they have the forging candle animation on their head non stop and they are spinning then they are buying stuff, which shows they are a hacker

spells should have cool down, only 3 can be used at a time (as i remember?)

[slim kayak]

Yeah, please report that player if you can. Also, best to not spend too much time discussing them here.

[dreamy gulch]

jst sharing. cant report the dude is shadow

i can’t bring myself to experience the fire trial again, is it still as difficult as before? about two weeks ago or is it still as difficult to complete solo?

Ahh.... Beta IOS version the testflight app is asking me invitation code how can I get it

[hollow compass]

@feral meteor please read #beta-faq 🙂

[tender knoll]

Invicape hearts or ascended candles?

[hollow compass]

Is that a question about how much it costs? If so, 999 hearts. But AC to unlock the Vault Elder hair first.

[peak token]

hello everyone! do yall having problem when opening beta?

[bright portal]

i have no issues

[random gull]

I was able to log in just fine about half an hour ago

[peak token]

nice to heart that

[sullen relic]

logged in at the moment with no issues on iOS

[random gull]

oh yeah mine's android

[solid osprey]

im having trouble opening beta as well as live. i dont know if its my wifi or not since i never had this happened before

[random gull]

might be network issues in general. do you have cellular data you can connect to or another wifi to try?

[craggy karma]

The trial of fire is revamped again?

[random gull]

I haven't checked it in the latest update

[runic path]

@craggy karma whattttttt

[lusty light]

It says audio polishing not level changes

[random gull]

ah so the spookier sounds the fluffy krill make. so I did go in since the update apparently 🤣

[oblique stump]

Yeah, the sounds they make are actually really cool

[opaque mantle]

im not excited for fire trial, even in beta i havent finished it yet suhoquhdoq

[dense whale]

/ fluffy krill. that;s the kind of light spoiler im into

/wait wait holup are they reusing the chonky krill we see in the concepts arts?

[random gull]

uh maybe? I need to look at the comcept art. but they look like worms on a string except 200% fluffier

[hollow compass]

My adventure in playing Sky with a PS4 controller: all is good so far. I went through Eden yesterday and even found the red rain part a little easier. I am now curious if it is at all possible to chibi glitch with a controller, as I hunt down my wing lights again. To be continued.

[random gull]

blep let me know if you succeed chibi glitch with controller I figured out how to on one handed mode on my ipad finally only successfully did it once tho

[tiny umbra]

I thought they took out chibi glitch on one handed mode

[random gull]

idk I managed to do it and idk how to reproduce

[hollow compass]

Kai, you can do one-hand chibi glitch? I lost that skill a long time ago. 😮
remembers the good old times of easy table glitches before everyone started to troll with them

[oak berry]

I can barely even do chibi glitch in two handed

[tender oasis]

Yap its possible i do it a lot you have to pull your leg forward the. With another finger do what u would do if you want to walk and release the other hand in the meanwhile

I can record a video of it if anyone needs ( one hand mode chibi glitch).

You got it! I believe in you!

[worthy gate]

I believe in taking friends with warp. Especially on air trial, where being able to create extra “save points” is huge.

[dapper ginkgo]

It'll be so helpful in Fire.

I have to do water trial again on Beta AND Live. Can my phobia just leave me alone for once
I feel you... except it's me with Fire trial. I hate the complete darkness.

[analog citrus]

not necessarily a beta specific question; but when was the change made where the crabs dont flip back with a deep call? Was that when the crab call pin spell showed up? It makes that quest EXTRA annoying in forest. Its seems like a bunch of the quests now have seriously annoying bugs

[hollow compass]

Yes, it seems to have been around the time of testing for the pins/spells. It's not a bug that they don't flip back, but it was a kind of bug that they didn't all flip over properly before.

[random gull]

I just go into wasteland and flip 35 crabs for that quest XD

[hollow compass]

Same.

[slim kayak]

they do flip back, their friends help them out
it just doesn't work if you flip them all

[analog citrus]

then they need to move that quest to waste days. Quests are mostly tied to the day the candles show in that area

[random gull]

the little wiggle they do when they help their buddies flip back over is just too cute when you're not the one being attacked anyways

[hollow compass]

But you can go to Wasteland if you like. You don't have to do that one in Forest.

[slim kayak]

i think most of us forget that there are more crabs in the forest pipes

[random gull]

it is called crab fields there though NVM I MISREAD I saw pipes and my brain went gw pipes

[tiny umbra]

Don't the candles show in the area the spirit resides in? Though not for Sanctuary or Prophecy, cause the spirits are in their own area

[hollow compass]

There's only two there, though. So in total, if you're lucky, you can get all the 5 in Forest.

[slim kayak]

i usually get the 3 where the hide and seek spirit is and the 2 in the temple. so there are 7?

[tiny umbra]

Lol if i cant get the crab quest in forest(cause I often forget about it until im at the temple), I get it in Valley
I think they fixed it but usually the crabs glitch and show as flipped for a second before going back up, I used to be able to finish that quest with the temple crabs alone

[hollow compass]

Oh, right. Well, 5 in the brook area: 3 in the cave and 2 in the tunnel.

[analog citrus]

but on quest days they are often already flipped

[hollow compass]

Yes, but if they are flipped in Forest you can always go to another realm with crabs.

[random gull]

really not as bad as the rescue a manta quest because there's only 2 mantas to rescue

[tiny umbra]

There's crabs in every realm but isle,

[slim kayak]

what if the devs make the crabs flip back over after we pick them up? that'd be cute

[tiny umbra]

Ok I'm confused, didn't they used to? I have video from early sanctuary of me and my friend holding angry unflipped crabs and getting mauled by them in general

[random gull]

soooorta. before when they could unflip themselves they could unflip in your hands too BUT they didn't unflip right away in your hands

I have a really nice screenshot somewhere of the angry crab in my hand and also an angry crab behind me attacking at the same time in beta sanctuary. now finding that picture is another issue XD

[tiny umbra]

Oh I just accidentally left the recording on while playing in sanctuary so I have about 40 unedited minutes of it 👁️
Which apparently happens a lot cause I have the same length of videos of different places

[random gull]

tbh I wish I was recording the one time I hit a bug where a crab hit me and yeeted me halfway across the GW map. I legit flew instead of being knocked over haven't been able to reproduce bug tho

[tiny umbra]

So much stuff I wish I recorded, but my device storage is almost full and it's gonna be a pain transferring those videos and screenshots to my hard drive cause the transfer keeps crashing whenever I try I have so much-

I can't go into detail on what my first assumption was without veering into breaking server rules territory

Lmao but in beta channel ?

[shy pumice]

There are no restrictions for contextless talks anywhere in the world

So, How's life?

no

we're generally discouraged to go too off topic in this server. that's why there's lots of channels for different topics, and no off topic channel.

[random gull]

I have like 150 seasonal candles. watch out forconversion day cuz I be upgrading friends

[tiny umbra]

Dark that’s the first I’m actually hearing of the tune and it sounds like the qg just dropped his drum tbh

I should really do beta dailies, maybe I can actually get a ts in beta this time

[sullen relic]

If you can’t do the dailies, at least look for the four candle clusters, they’re worth a lot for the time it takes to find them

[random gull]

yeah the 11 daily seasonal candles is how I have so many despite having the ultimate

[kindred fossil]

nah, my replication sounds like i dropped the drum: #beta-screenshots-videos message

[tiny umbra]

The qg dropped the drum which made you drop the drum and both were interested in the sound so you both are trying to replicate each other’s mess up

[random gull]

I believe you may be chatting in the wrong channel. This is beta channel and it sounds like you're talking about live

you can discuss your frustrations with air trial in the live version of the game in #general-sky-discussion but beta channel will have lots of spoilers because we test upcoming content. like the fact that we can change flight modes whenever is being tested currently. no ETA on when that will hit live

[sand dawn]

Did anyone else notice they reduced the amount of candles 1 seasonal candle stack gives (from 1.5 to 1)

[tiny umbra]

I didn’t have that ? I got 3 candles from 2 stacks

Wait till the fulffy thing pass your location and follow then. Light as much candle as you can.

[oak berry]

and when they come back round you can actually sidestep and make it back to the candle if youre quick enough

[toxic spruce]

try to remember which candles are safe and which are not, try to light as many candles and explore then try to remember your way around. and yes have the patience of a saint, youll need it

[tiny umbra]

Cry before the trial, not during

[brisk condor]

thankssss

[random gull]

live unexpectedly got the flight toggle feature XD no patch needed even! I guess I can go do air trial now without being so lazy on live. fire trial is now the beta thing to discuss and TS system but that’s vague

[tiny umbra]

Pfft I was just in live messing around oob underneath the prophecy cave that could have been sooo useful if I had just rebooted the game two minutes ago

[brisk condor]

Cry before the trial, not during
@tiny umbra im trying, MAN im trying

[tiny umbra]

It’s ok you’ll have plenty of time to cry after the trial, right now it’s showtime

[brisk condor]

tis been an hour and i've been at the level 3 start for maybe 25 minutes

[tiny umbra]

Don’t be scared ! Dying is part of the process ! Eventually you will die less and get farther

[slim kayak]

You can do it!

[brisk condor]

im doing this all in the name of science... not even looking for speed, since i've surpassed 80 minutes... i think im reaching a verdict point

[slim kayak]

Level 3 has lots of dead ends. It's so easy to get lost in there if you don't know where you're going

[oak berry]

^^ i suggest following the dark owl paths, since iirc they follow the main candle line

[tiny umbra]

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer

[slim kayak]

give them lots of hugs

[random gull]

Piggypack stack and intimidate the fluffies with your skykid totem

[tiny umbra]

T pose to assert dominance, basically

[random gull]

Yup!

[vapid briar]

hang tight for the next beta build

[random gull]

Ok now I”m hype I been coming on and mostly doing daily quests or being the 8th person for people to get that gate in prairie

[brisk condor]

ok sadly i must stray from my computer but ill still be working on it- i shall report back once i've finished

[random gull]

Wow beta chat really do be dead. Ktjn appears and tells us there will be update and people aren’t going crazy this time

[oak berry]

just wait till the update is actually released

[bright portal]

[spark lance]

and just play the piano in prophecy cave till the update be released

[tiny umbra]

Two of my teachers didn’t show up for class + I can back read gen chat + this place being dead is fueling my paranoia about everyone disappearing

[random gull]

Well I am here

[tiny umbra]

Yeah it’s probably the west coast cause I haven’t heard from any of them since this morning

THERE IT IS

[oak berry]

there is what?

[random gull]

On ios there is update

[rigid field]

Update

[limber tusk]

NOO THEY FIXED THE TABLE MOVING THING

[tiny umbra]

Reduced difficulty of Air Trial

• Reduced difficulty of Fire Trial
  cries tears of joy
  I am weeeping

[dire reef]

wait they patched table running? is that what you mean?

[limber tusk]

so many oobs gone

[tiny umbra]

Aight who wants to table test

[random gull]

I can’t test table rn cuz android does not have update yet

[brisk condor]

thank you @vapid briar

[oak berry]

yknow i kinda liked fire trial's difficulty, even though im mid run
Ill have to try it ond android gets the update

[limber tusk]

• Players can no longer be forcefully moved with the Table by another player
• Reduced difficulty of Air Trial
• Reduced difficulty of Fire Trial
• Fixed issue causing the cutscene introducing the door to the Water Trial when returning to the Questgiver for subsequent Trial quests
• Fixed issue in Air Trial that would reset checkpoints if resuming the Trial from Home
• Fixed crash issues for iPhone 12 devices

here’s the list on testflight (and then the ping comes out LMAO)

[sharp bridge]

reads the first one

[vapid briar]

[random gull]

I think it means you can’t move people with your table not that you can’t move yourself

[mental otter]

ahehehe

[long helm]

Players will no longer be forcibly moved with the table

[tiny umbra]

Maybe it’ll be like chibi glitch and they’ll be a new way to do it

[copper ruin]

could someone explain the table one?

[limber tusk]

ktjn you’re too fast for me 😭

[olive tide]

aw. sad. never got to try the table

[vapid briar]

you can't shove people with the table against their will anymore.

[sullen relic]

Oh my, that new pfp is freaky Ktjn

[mental otter]

wait so does that mean the table glitch thing is gone?

[tiny umbra]

Players will no longer be forcibly moved with the table
@long helm by another player

[long helm]

thinks of oob nOoOo I hope it means by forcibly there is a way we can do it still just we need the player to let us-

[slim kayak]

the table one is worded is a way that implies that you can still do it, but you cant bring others with you
ktjn got to it first

[random gull]

android still no update google y u sleeping

[limber tusk]

OHHHHH thank god, it’s not what i thought, thank you! we can still oob

[copper ruin]

ohh so others will just pass thorugh it if its placed i see

[toxic spruce]

How about the quest giver and TS?

[oak berry]

so no more table driving with others?

[nocturne dew]

So can we say....have a friend at a table who can be cooperatively moved still?? When they offer their hand?

[vapid briar]

no

[brisk condor]

ok bacc to fire trial with DECREASED DIFFICULTY

[olive tide]

well darn. fewer oobs

[mental otter]

so the table glue glitch is gone indeed

[limber tusk]

wait so we can’t- 😭

[vapid briar]

this shouldn't impact going out of bounds using like the handhold thing

[nocturne dew]

gasp :(( wow...that’s been in since day one and a super fun way to get too OOB.

[sullen relic]

Even without the hand offer, shouldn’t matter if you can table yourself then have them warp to you

[oak berry]

guess warp will have to do with oobing then
good luck samba!

[vapid briar]

it's the menu manipulation used to shove people who haven't sat at your table

[limber tusk]

oh- i’ve been so confused, so many different things being said

[slim kayak]

samba watch, fire got harder
jk i don't actually know, google being slow

[mental otter]

oh? good to know, thanks for clarifying

[toxic spruce]

So it’s just we can’t shove ppl around using a table... didnt know this was a thing does this affect quest giver and TS???

[nocturne dew]

Menu manipulation...? And yes thank you for clarifying Kjtn

[lilac solstice]

Okay okay lemme clarify, they are fixing the table surfing glitch thing? So we can't table sled anymore?

[vapid briar]

the expression and spell menu

[spark lance]

soo I'm going to clear the trial of fire again. i just finished it 20 minutes ago..

[vapid briar]

correct

[lunar crown]

this shouldn't impact going out of bounds using like the handhold thing
What “handhold thing”?

[vapid briar]

trolls and griefers were doing mean things to others without their consent so we fixed it.

[nocturne dew]

Aahh. That’s a shame. I remember the days of Sky where stuff like that didn’t seem to even really exist in Sky. :((

[random gull]

that always makes me sad when people do that. sky is such a nice game

[toxic spruce]

It’s when a friend sit on the table then offer you hand (the one with the table) and then you move the table around to go oob

[strong canopy]

What “handhold thing”?
@lunar crown place a table, a friend sits and asks for your hand. you can now move them with the table

[vapid briar]

poorly intentioned behavior ruins it for everyone, unfortunately.

[small pebble]

Oh my goodness Krilltjn your profile picture changed 👁️ 👄 👁️

[lunar crown]

Okay so it doesn’t affect that? Then what does it affect? I’m still confused

[slim kayak]

table warping maybe?

[random gull]

has anyone explained what the letters in the devs and mods pfps are yet

[olive tide]

yeah i saw some people bullying moths in wasteland w the glitch in a video... not very fun

[empty river]

doesnt affect table teleportation apparently, i just tried it

[strong canopy]

it affects the newest TP method, which allows you to go back to your last table's position

[small pebble]

Understandable why you'd remove that feature if ut went against the concent of others

[nocturne dew]

Do those players with records of poor behavior or numerous reports get banned? Just curious. It seems it would be best just to actually remove those players from the game instead of alternating the functions every time to stop them.

[agile crag]

From what I understand all the update is saying is that we can't move around non-friends with the table. You can still pick friends up and move them around with the hand hold trick.

[oak berry]

as my librarian said, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch

[zinc prawn]

Yeah the table bug was quite annoying when people started to do it again and again even if you tell them politely to not do so

[strong canopy]

if someone sat at your table before, you could move them using your table again

[nocturne dew]

Yeah but...:bad apples should be banned just sayin 😅

[toxic spruce]

I’m getting confused as to what ppl did...

[strong canopy]

Yeah but...:bad apples should be banned just sayin 😅
@nocturne dew kinda restrictive. and it would lead to undesired bans

[mental otter]

oh wait, is it when you can see what people are chatting in tables & benches even if you aren't sitting on said table/bench? or am i understanding this wrong

[rocky peak]

TABLE DRIVE IS GONE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (is it?)

[shy flicker]

i disagree with the table glitch removal lol

[strong canopy]

I’m getting confused as to what ppl did...
@toxic spruce what i understood is you can't use your table anymore to move other players without their consents

[zinc prawn]

There was a bug where people can control where you tp just by sitting at their table, it was involuntary

[slim kayak]

tgc has around 40 people on their team, not sure if they can feasibly monitor every bad apple. that sounds like it would take a lot of time to do. not saying that they don't but it's hard

[lunar crown]

Players who are not your friends

[nocturne dew]

And still waiting for a “report player” option for unlit skykid s to be reported. All the worst behavior I’ve ever encountered (mostly in beta oddly enough) has been from players who refuse to light my candle so they will not be reported. It’s very annoying and I’ve brought it up several times in feedback.

[copper estuary]

Is there a way I can see this grievance regarding the table? I’m finding it hard to picture

[shy flicker]

wait, ur wanting to report someone who wont light ur candle?

[nocturne dew]

@strong canopy not restrictive if it is based on pattern of behavior such as: a player is reported for griefing 5 times within a month etc.

[spark lance]

Bruhh images and videos

[nocturne dew]

And yes, correct. I have encountered several abusive players in game that I can’t report because they refuse to light my candle. You cannot report a player who’s candle is not lit to you. AS IN they are a stranger/shadow/ghost child

[random gull]

shakes fist at google y u so slow man

[zinc prawn]

Sabriath, some people come to sit by others' tables to chat and the owner of the table may have wrong intentions of using that bug to teleport people around the map when they just wanted to talk and have fun. It's annoying when you want to talk to your friends or strangers but then this person is constantly moving you around the map and you can't get a control of it.

[oak berry]

i think im lost in fire trial, i have no idea where im going

[slim kayak]

give it an hour kai. google has to wake up first, even though their alarm has been going off for a while now

[spark lance]

oh damn 2019 sky chat was wack, filled with long texts

[lunar crown]

Yeah, that makes sense as to why TGC would want to fix that

[random gull]

u gonna yell at me if I’m awake in an hour tho Aeras

[empty river]

sadly not everyone reports, and not everyone can report the people that grieve on time. It sounds easier and more effective to patch what theyre using to grief people instead. this isnt the first time a glitch or something else has been patched in order for people to have a nicer experience

[copper estuary]

Ah I see. I thought that was already a bug that was patched a long time ago?

[sullen relic]

oh, that is weird -- looks like you can't warp yourself using the table anymore, but trying to do so causes the table to get placed at your new position with no cooldown

[toxic spruce]

How do you teleport them tho? Like when you move the table ppl just automatically unsit? I’m definitely missing something...

[empty river]

you can 100% still use table teleportation cos i have done it twice in a row now

[sullen relic]

ah, i might be getting the timing wrong then, lemme retry

[zinc prawn]

When you moved the table, you would teleport with the table to the new location. But dont get this mixed up with the normal table drive glitch and this glitch

[slim kayak]

and you can do the teleportation glitch with any chat item, although its way harder
it's cause i have bonfire but not table in beta

[analog citrus]

I’m having trouble doing it with the fire

[shy flicker]

And yes, correct. I have encountered several abusive players in game that I can’t report because they refuse to light my candle. You cannot report a player who’s candle is not lit to you.
@nocturne dew But... nobody is obligated to light anyones candle, hence why it's an option to light it or not.

[spark lance]

ok but you know whats really bad? people who arent patient and oob to get in future seasonal areas thats not finished yet

[strong canopy]

you cant
thats hack

[bright portal]

quite confuse. so is the table update patching the table teleportation or the table sled with friends or both?

[toxic spruce]

From my understanding, to table teleport you have to hold hands then place the table inside you then you’ll teleport to where you’ve previously placed the table

[shy flicker]

That wasn't an OOB...

[spark lance]

waitItAint

[sullen relic]

Ghoulix, have you updated the app? i'm completely failing it so far with the same technique (the one were you warp yourself to a position where you previously placed you table)

[nocturne dew]

@shy flicker I’m not sure you’re following. I’m not talking about friends not lighting my candles at home in the constellation. I am talking about strangers harassing me and then refusing to light candles with me so they can avoid being reported for their awful behavior.

[zinc prawn]

Yes sol, that glitch is still available but the other type was patched in the beta update

[slim kayak]

try it out i guess. that's why we are here
gather some skykids and try to take them on an adventure

[random gull]

yeah the future seasonal areas teleport points aren’t active so it’s impossible to OOb into them. only hacks or teleporting to a friend who is there

[strong canopy]

so is table TP gone? or TPing other players only?

[bright portal]

would try it out when mr google releases the update

[toxic spruce]

Suki, what’s the other type? Just curious, found out about table teleport a few days ago...

[zinc prawn]

You can still do the tp with the holding hands method, but the automatic tp should be fixed

[shy flicker]

@shy flicker I’m not sure you’re following. I’m not talking about friends not lighting my candles at home in the constellation. I am talking about strangers harassing me and then refusing to light candles with me so they can avoid being reported for their awful behavior.
@nocturne dew Ah, I understand.

[sullen relic]

i'm having extreme difficulty replicating the backwarping at home right now, but at least one other user has said it's still possible

[strong canopy]

i just wanna know about the solo TP that requires no friend

[sullen relic]

that's the one i'm talking about -- using your own table to warp yourself

[zinc prawn]

The table glitch that was just patched: Any player could move you around the map using their table just by sitting at their table once. By placing the table in a new location, you will automatically teleport to the new area without the use of holding hands.

The standard table glitch that requires friends: Offering your hand while your friend moves the table to the new location.

[random gull]

welp google be sleeping and I’m pretty sure yall gonna sic skybot on me again if I stay up for the update

[strong canopy]

i just wanna know about the solo TP that requires no friend
i know how it works huh lol, i just wanna now if its gone or not

[vapid briar]

without knowing how it works, i can't tell you

[zinc prawn]

welp hopefully I make sense

[vapid briar]

what are the steps to move your self with the table

[sullen relic]

the solo table teleporting involves putting a table down at a location you want to warp to, and then holding the table above yourself somewhere else, then simultaneously closing the menu and releasing your finger on the table to warp to where the table was previously placed

trying to do that right now on the latest update is causing me to place the table at the new spot where i am, rather than warping me to the old spot

[analog citrus]

Well now it for sure will get patched 😂

[shy flicker]

^

[vapid briar]

yeah then that is what was patched.

[random gull]

solo table teleport works by placing a table somwhere, moving far away from it, opening menu and pulling out table like you’re going to place it but don’t, sit at chair, close menu while still holding table, boom table and you teleport to original table location

[vapid briar]

that is what's called menu manipulation.

[bright portal]

well goodbye fast runs in ark

[tiny umbra]

Put the table somewhere else, hold the table above you so that it overlaps with you, close the menu and let go of your finger before it disappears without you

[vapid briar]

people were using that to move others maliciously, so it was patched out.

[random gull]

was i the only one sitting to teleport

[slow scaffold]

how were people moving others? i don't understand, the original table you place, and warp to, never moves...

[mental otter]

me who wasn't aware that trick existed

[slim kayak]

i think someone mentioned that they could still tp themselves.... i'll have to try it out

[tiny umbra]

Oh, maybe someone could check if sitting works
