Kay some bugs just aren't that easy to fix. TGC is a small indie game developer team of about 30-40 people and they have a LOT they're working on right now. Live definitely gets waaaaaay less bugs than beta but it's impossible for the game to be 100% bug free even live. They do try their best to put out the least amount of bugs possible
@random gull I watched the ending scene after orbit and there were so many staffs in TGC?

pine remnant
#

not all those people are TGC staff. some are just people who helped along the way. for example, Tom Zhao is there but he no longer works for TGC iirc

random gull
#

just counted it from their site, 32 developers. The credits probably do credit a lot of people who aren't actively working on the game like the orchestra that plays the music you hear in game and such.

#

Is the death loop got fixed in beta? Or the live players will have to bug report it as well later?

random gull
#

eden death loop is an eternal work in progress it seems. I did still get death loop on beta about a week or so ago.

spark lance
#

I refer to the death loop in fire trial.

pine remnant
#

iirc that death loop was fixed rather early on

random gull
#

oh yes that's been fixed

tiny umbra
#

Is the death loop not fixed?
Im actually currently doing all the live trials right now cause I went to eden yesterday, it's been smooth so far

random gull
#

I did die purposefully quite a few times when they said death loop was fixed and didn't get stuck in a loop so I'd say yeah it's fixed

tiny umbra
#

And the moth bug is another bug that's hard to fix, seems every time there's a possible fix for it the moth bug says "no" and gives us a new problem pFIRE like our spells dissapearing

random gull
#

I actually haven't encountered moth bug in a while pThink

tiny umbra
#

I did yesterday sqwarlockDed but we passed through a portal and it fixed

pine remnant
#

my friend on live has a weird version of moth bug where they appear like a moth to everyone but themselves SkyLOL

#

oh that's interesting. have they reported it yet?

It makes me a little sad that people are blaming beta testers and the devs for bugs sneaking their way into live stickerGloomy

pEyes kai has the shiny yellow emojis

kindred fossil
#

the shiny yellow emotes don't come from a super secret server

slim kayak
#

Kai has had them for a while SkyLOL
If I could I'd use them too.

random gull
#

I convinced Ktjn to let us have our external emotes back in this channel a while ago. probably gonna get that privelege taken away again at the next invite wave so I will use them until then

kindred fossil
#

i'm a mere humble beta tester, farmin' ma bugs with care, mowin' glitches

hollow compass
#

It's very flattering that people think us beta testers have power over bugs, but in reality all we can do is report them and hope that the information we provide is enough to be able to squash those annoyances.

tiny umbra
#

It aint much, but it's honest work 🤠

spark lance
#

No one have power over the bugs except the devs. But beta tester have power to report bugs. I wonder if beta player encountered the earth trial bugs that sends u back to the beginning of the trial if u fall at the end of the labyrinth where you have to jump over some blocks to go to the statutes to pray.

hollow compass
#

As someone else already pointed out, even if we all report the same bug(s) it doesn't mean that the problem will be fixed in time for the Live release. Sometimes bugs are hard to replicate for the devs to find what's wrong in the code. If you're curious about what has been reported you can browse the bug channels.

prime lintel
#

also some bugs never show up in beta and pop in live for some odd reason

spark lance
#

That does not answer the question tho, have beta testers encountered the bug that i was talking about?

prime lintel
#

like bel said, you can check the bug report channel for that info

tiny umbra
#

I do remember talk about that earth trial bug here, so yes, we have ?

hollow compass
#

Why do you need such a specific answer? The answer is probably, but I honestly don't remember what with all the other things we've all been reporting. It feels like you're pointing fingers, when it's not really our responsibility.

spark lance
#

Even you are not so sure.

stark sundial
#

I completed the trials like 10 different times before prophecy hit live and never encountered that bug, I completed the trial of earth a lot of times for skips in beta and also live but never personally found it,
@spark lance hey beta tester don't have to know every bug before they hit live.

prime lintel
#

some bugs are device specific. hooray for the unpredictable chaos that is bug hunting and game development

spark lance
#

That is the dilemma i think.. Live players think beta players did not do their job, beta players think live players pointing fingers.

tiny umbra
#

Though I do remember the reason for it was because the server merged and cleared the trial, and you didn't need to light that checkpoint, so it sent you back to the last checkpoint you actually touched, which was at the beginning. If this answers your question, yea, we've seen it, it's not our fault its still in live. It's a hard bug, I don't even think it is a bug, if you didn't hit the checkpoint then ?

prime lintel
#

the one bug that hit Android a while back with the crazy graphics was never encountered in beta, iirc. it just showed up in live for no reason

hollow compass
#

There was a bug where you would be be teleported back to the start of the Earth trial, unless you kept lighting the shrine at the end. But that was fixed in a recent patch to Live. Is that the one you mean?

That is the dilemma i think.. Live players think beta players did not do their job, beta players think live players pointing fingers.
Beta players would be pointing fingers, if they truly believe it's the beta players' fault for bugs existing in the game. That shows a lack of understanding of how game programming works, as well as what beta testing (for Sky) is about.

prime lintel
#

I think it is very helpful for non-beta players to read through the #beta-faq to learn more about how the beta program actually works so there's no blameshifting or other issues stickerHeart

#

The beta program can be confusing for people to understand if they have no reference or information about it, which is one of the reasons why the #beta-faq exists in the first place. New beta players have the same learning curve as well. Just because we're in beta doesn't mean that we know everything about the game or how the beta program works SkyLOL

tiny umbra
#

This also, isn't a job, it's us volunteering to help. 👁️

hollow compass
#

Ultimately, TGC always has the last say, regardless of how many times we give feedback or report issues. It's their game.

prime lintel
#

When I first joined beta, I knew that all IAP were free, but still hesitated to buy anything because I had an irrational fear that I'd get charged and then refunded for it or something. Beta moth me was not very smart SkyLOL

I didn't have that fear cause I didn't have a bank account to attach to my app store, it was a gift card balance instead SkyLOL

prime lintel
#

most, if not all beta players, play the live version of the game though? Beta isn't a substitution for live?

#

I played Live for 3 months before joining the Discord and even hearing about the beta program. If there were bugs, I just dealt with them and trusted that the dev team would fix them. Even after I joined the Discord, I never thought to blame the beta testers for bugs because they don't intentionally put bugs in the game??

spark lance
#

Why tgc limits numbers of beta players?

hollow compass

cloudberry 🌈#5443 hou played libe you would understood.
@spark lance I don't understand. What do you mean?

@prime lintel who said beta testers put the bugs there?

prime lintel

iirc, both TestFlight and Google Play themselves limit the beta invite slots?

spark lance
#

@spark lance I don't understand. What do you mean?
@hollow compass hmm maybe you lack of something but I don't know as well.

prime lintel
#

@spark lance what I mean is that I never considered the beta testers as responsible for the existence of bugs? Why would I? They literally have no control over the game? That was my point stickerHeart

Hi! I'm a live player but I saw something in the beta channels that I'd like to ask about is it ok? It's not in FAQ stickerUmm stickerHeart

hollow compass
#

Sorry, Kai. I think this person is only trying to cause trouble and being rude on purpose.

copper bison
#

regarding a post about why there's a limit, if it was even possible for there to be no limit to beta (not sure if there is a limit) i'm pretty sure most players would end up playing beta instead of live due to features in beta such as early seasons, free iaps, etc. (of course these are for testing purposes, but even with the slot limit people still only join beta for these features and take up a slot for someone who actually wants to help. SkyFaint) it would end up being pretty chaotic too when or if progress ends up getting wiped. this might not be the actual reason, but using my common sense i came up with this answer.

sorry for the long post!

prime lintel

Makes sense, kai!

I've seen this thing about shepherd's in sky, what are they and how do u get to be one (on beta) stickerHeart stickerHeart

spark lance
#

What i want to say is that, when the trials is on linve, there should be no major bugs. There will be no major bugs if the testers reported it no? Who are the testers?

hollow compass
#

@haughty perch the Shepherd system is a mysterious friendliness ranking and that's really all we know.

haughty perch
#

Ah thank u!! I started to see more posts so I started to get confused whether it in live or not stickerHeart

hollow compass
#

@spark lance What we are all telling you as beta tester is that this is not possible. You have a lot of more eloquent answers further up.

spark lance
#

Sorry, Kai. I think this person is only trying to cause trouble and being rude on purpose.
@hollow compass that is what you think. Think abt others as well. Im trying to fingure out something. Let other who understand what i am saying to respond. You with your think will going nowhere.

Shepherd system, a mysterious friendliness ranking
-ktjn, in #beta-faq

we don't really know how it works, but the general idea is to do friendship actions. (some people get the bar to raise by doing nothing though-)

prime lintel
#

As said earlier, there is no guarantee that the bug is (1) encountered on beta or (2) fixed in time for release to live. There's a massive amount of devices that can run Sky, and some bugs are literally only encountered on certain systems. Beta testing slots are limited, meaning that some systems may not be even represented in beta. That's just how beta testing works. TGC tries to make fixes based on the data that they have, but it may not always be enough at times. Please keep in mind that TGC is a small team with about 20-30 people on the engineering/dev team.

hollow compass
#

@spark lance I have been nothing but civil and helpful towards you. You are the one who started being rude and then sarcastic when I asked for a clarification.

slim kayak
#

we've reported lots of bugs. but sometimes the bugs are hard to fix. like moth bug, which has been in the game for months, due to how hard it is to fix. just because we report bugs, doesn't mean that they will get fixed right away. the dev team has to prioritize certain things too, like making new content along side bug fixing. it's a complicated process, but rest assured, we report as many bugs as we can pSkyHeart

prime lintel
#

Some bugs are just so random and never show up in testing that even the devs are confused about where they come from

stark sundial
#

@spark lance I don't think people really understand you here since you're assuming that we should discover every bug and report them to get fixed by the time it gets to live when that's just not true, sometimes even a bug fix can cause a bug elsewhere in the same zone

prime lintel
#

But I think Aeras has given the best response to your question stickerHeart

random gull
#

I want to try and make it so Kay can understand but I can't type well right now aquacrywhaaaa I can't be helpful today

hollow compass
#

At this point we're all just repeating what we've already said before. If OP has any other questions, feel free to ask away.

slim kayak
#

there are lots of bugs that we've seen throughout testing that have been patched before going to live, and there are bugs that sneak into live because of time/difficulty with fixing them, and then there are some that we've never seen in beta, and only affects live. there are so many factors to testing, but at the end of the day, us testers can't do much with fixing bugs, and the dev team are always working to make the game better. I hope this clarifies things stickerHeart

@hollow compass what?

copper bison
#

as for bugs, beta testers are human as well and can't catch every bug. we just do what we can and try to report what we find. and not every bug will be fixed right away, like beta testers, the people at tgc are humans too and can't fix every single bug with a snap of their fingers. some are more harder to fix than other bugs. some bugs are device specific, some bugs might not even be in beta but are in live.

Just a reminder that someone else's thought process on something won't be the same as yours on something and isn't the standard all the time, everyone starts with different mindsets and there is no right way to think of it. Saying "well when I did this... etc etc-" in a not discussion way is is ehhhhhhh.
I personally of the opinion that certain parts of this server are a little- unfriendly to people whose first language was not english who are going to make mistakes and typos, but that's different from this and off topic.
(i had a bigger paragraph but im gonna hit send before i regret deleting it)

hollow compass
#

Yes, there's lots of us who are not English speakers from the start. It's good to keep in mind when discussing things. Correct words can be hard to remember or can get mixed up sometimes.

It's always easier to keep a wrong impression than to release ourselves from cognitive dissonance and instead emanate confusion or anger. We're all friends, just remember that when someone's comments strike us the wrong way

is that why they wear turtlenecks?

anyhow, the final-ish cutscene confuses me because the guide is there with the other prophets, i thought he was some narrator but that completely debunks it

oak berry

I can hear lore chat going off already pFIRE

tiny umbra
#

This is making me search up all the non adult spirits in sky and lookin at their necks to see if they have one, maybe it’s cause skykids are kids pSquint

oak berry
#

But if qg isnt a narrator, are they the one giving out the prophecies? Or a prophet of light maybe? SkyThink

tiny umbra
#

Why are they a narrator if they have that halo and mask and drum, those items seem a little too important to not be involved pPopcorn, or, since they’re the one showing skykids the murals, they might be a leftover or a student of the prophets themselves? Maybe the last one remaining or the one who graduated
Or maybe they’re equivalent to a school principal and leeching off the prophets who knows

kindred fossil
#

because he has no direct involvement during the spirit memories, unlike the guide from sanctuary, i came to that conclusion because he doesn't appear in the murals either, basically nothing of importance during the past

I remember hearing that the fire trial would give the last wing light needed, so why would it be a bug? Also is there a different appearance for the 11th star?

I think it's possible for some people in live because of that one time we got the Gratitude dismiss emote briefly as the traveling spirit when it was supposed to be a different one, so some people got an extra wing buff from that before TGC fixed it

What is the shepherd system in beta?

slim kayak
#

it's a mysterious friendliness ranking. it lets more friendly players see who the new players are and help them out if they want to

no one knows how it works though. we assume that by doing things like making friends, leading them through realms, leveling their friendship trees, etc., the bar that indicates the role goes up. it can also go down if you are inactive

Good morning peoples 🤍
Does anyone know when beta season ends ? , I weren’t expecting it to last this long tbh... not that I’m complaining

hidden quarry
#

we arent really sure as of now... the in-game timer isnt really accurate either

slim kayak
#

Sorry for the late reply, but the shepherd system has been in beta for over a year now. It's probably not going to live anytime soon, since we've had little to no changes on the system for a few months now

hollow compass
#

I personally don't see any real reason for it to be there. If you're a friendly person, you will still be that regardless of the meter. Theoretically it can sometimes be good to see that someone is new in the game, but even older players need help from time to time, so I'm not sure the moth heart badge is of any real use either. But perhaps others feel differently?

#

Oh, and not all new players want help either. Some definitely want to explore on their own and us vets grabbing them by the hand and leading them around can even be confusing or a negative experience.

desert mango
#

I agree , it’s good to see who the new players are ... yea we all need help sometimes it’s nice just to have the company .....I think also it can be used negatively which I hope doesn’t happen ....but it’s a good idea to know who the genuine new players are considering the rumours that are circulating

hollow compass
#

Unfortunately, I'm not so optimistic. It seems that for every good thing in Sky, there's twice the amount of bad/trolling happening. It's just disheartening.

desert mango
#

So true actually , their are many negative things going on atm on sky ...people will be people though .

Also I wanted to ask because I see someone this morning doing it but is their a emote where the person pretends to do drums ( air drums ) .it makes the noise as they do it ... the person today had two levels of this emote

hollow compass
#

Hm, not sure. It could be some sort of glitch while wearing a drum, maybe? Like emoting while having the drum out? Or it's a new bug that the drum isn't showing? Did you get a video of it?

desert mango
#

It’s definitely a emote cause you can see them pretend to have drumsticks in their hands and do the drums in thin air

#

The second level adds a cymbal at the end

hollow compass
#

Oh, wow. That doesn't sound good. 😕

desert mango
#

I thought so, it’s the second person I herd have this ... it’s like I recognise it but don’t ... I can’t explain ..., I’m gonna go through all my emotes today ..but I’m 99.9 percent sure this has been got when not meant to have it

apparently, cancelling your TGC cape spell right after you pass the vault barrier isn't a good idea if you're running solo, you'll actually run into a reset wall stickerShock

The season of swagger
Ultimate gift = swag juice 😂😂

The person who designs the outfits really has great taste and I would wear most their designs myself ... time to look up who designs them I guess ...
My motto is
ITS NOT WHAT YOU WEAR ITS HOW YOU WEAR IT

So it’s the way they are hung on our sky kids has so much swagger 😂😂.... seriously though ...it’s the small details in sky that really impress me ...Thankyou for the slanted hats tgc ... love them 🤍

I think they should add a swagger system instead of shepherd too ... the metre shows how much swag you got 😂😂

The crip walk emote would just put the cherry on top ... I’d crip walk between each candle I collect 😂😂

#

Yooooooo I really wanted to ask this as soon as the Season was up for testing:
What's everyone's thoughts on the cosmetics, emotes and everything else about this Season?

Mine is definitely that the white fur tuft on the turtle Cape could have been similar to the unlit furry Rhythm Cape! And the emotes based on the turtle, lion, spider, and bat are really clever!

random gull
#

i llove the emootes! ddeep breath iss nicee

surreal beacon
#

Tbh I hope there will be more emotes based on/inspired by animals

dense whale
#

/deep breath is so fricken useful, i have a moth that panicked everytime they bonked, fly to the wrong location, and just does the panik emote all the time. they told me they thought they were slowing me down

hollow compass
#

I think the cosmetics are nice on their own, but they are difficult to combine with everything else we have in the game. I don't enjoy the trials, so the season as a whole isn't one I will cherish the way I do some of the others. But it's interesting lore-wise.

surreal beacon
#

Yeah I have to agree with you with the cosmetics! It looks like the black Cape is the only aesthetically pleasing Cape to go with the prophecy pants.

Btw was the Juggle spirit's Cape meant to have the fur trims intentionally white when unlit? It looks very unique but was it intended by the Devs?

How odd, if you can nab a recording you could ask that help bot. They were able to help tell me if something was an exploit or not since we shouldn’t be talking about it here if it is.

I did see someone on IG do some drumming sounds while having their candle out, which I know is a sort of glitch you can do. But I don't think any instrument we currently have has drumsticks as such.

Are you talking about the handstand emote from the air prophet? Because that makes those noises

Does it? I know the fire spirit has some percussive sounds to it. Air prophet is just the handstand in various versions, isn't it?

Earth and Air especially come to mind
But the emote gestures he described didn't sound like any of those... SkyThink

Either way, if it isn't a legitimate emote, we probably shouldn't discuss it SkyPray

desert mango
#

Nope it’s not emote from prophecy .... I have definitely never seen except them instances I said about and I don’t have the emote either .... the reason why I recognized it was because of the chest beat emote .. which has the tiss at the end ....

Nope I’m not saying they have a instrument either .. it’s a emote

Anyways
I know what it is now ... omg ... craziness ... they knew strait away and all I said was it looked kind of like they were playing air drums with the noise too ... it’s the salute emote from gratitude .... I’m not the only one that thought what I thought -so I don’t feel stupid now ... and they were okay with me messaging them 🤍🕊️🤍

ngl prophecy is my most favourite season so far pEyes

mossy lintel

@random coral Because the Spells are really costly and you have to unlock them 1st for getting a mask, unlike the last season where the spell nod was at the last( so i saved at least 60 Candles or more), but this season i won't be able to save any candles. Plus I don't like Goat mask.

eager ferry
#

I mean, The spirit nodes are gonna cost more, since there are less spirits.

random coral
#

True this season is costly pCry but this season is more of cosmetics rather than emotes which is why the masks are like that, Atleast that’s what I think

mossy lintel
#

@eager ferry Thanx for another good point. Less Spirits!!!!!

slim kayak
#

that's fair. not every season will be loved by everyone. i love the trials, but i'm not too big on the cosmetics, other than the hairs. I know that there are lots of players who don't like the trials, and absolutely love the cosmetics. hopefully the next season will resonate with you more pSkyHeart

Season of Rhythm was also 330 candles, according to tea11's item chart

@slim kayak Well for Non Adventure pass players, even hair is not a good benefit or option.

@prime lintel But there were atleast 3 Pants Dude. I mean pants!! They cover for everything.

everyone has different likes and dislikes, and TGC tries to balance the number and types of cosmetics for both pass and non-pass players pSkyHeart

not everyone likes pants (looking at you, Ral)

non-pass holders get 2 capes as well, which i think is pretty fair. but again, every season has things that people will dislike. I'm just amazed that tgc was able to make the trials while working from home

You can ask here if it’s beta related pSkyHeart

Okiedokie! ^^ So there’s an app called Testflight, which is what the beta game’s played on, right? I understand that I won’t be able to play it right now but I wanna have the app downloaded ahead of time so I can be ready when invites are sent out. I can’t really find the app though (:0 Is it not on the store right now? (I’m on iOS)

testflight's on the appstore as i'm checking right now; minimum requirement of iOS 8, which you should be well clear of if you're able to run Sky

I know ^^ I just wanna be ready!

sullen relic

it's "testflight" as one word; if it's not showing up in the AppStore for you, you can try googling it from Safari and then opening the link in the AppStore to see if it's returning a "app not available in your region" error (which seems unlikely)

When I tried it with a new friend I met it was not perfect quality but I could still easily understand what they were saying overall. Its been in testing for a while, but as far as I know still has no estimated arrival time in live (there's still bugs here and there getting patched for it)

the dev team has been working on making the translations better for individual languages, so hopefully it'll go to live soon. but it's kinda hard to hit the button right

I really like the translator being there. Most of the time it does a good job even tho it’s not all the time accurate. But it really does help keep the conversation going. I tried Russian English translation with a friend and it worked pretty well already. I definitely like itTGCThumbsUp

i like the translator too, even though it doesn't always activate right. my biggest concern is that the other side doesn't know how to use it, so it gets confusing at times, especially when it decides to bug out. hopefully those bugs get patched soon

Yes it was really confusing for me at first until my friend taught me to open message history and long tap on the message to activate the translator button. But once you know how to do it it’s a breezeSkyYayy

re "community submitted meditation questions": they might be able to take some suggestions from us in a dedicated survey and then decide which ones to implement, but i don't think it'd be feasible to continuously accept and implement new ones when they'd have to ensure the questions work across languages and cultures -- they'd probably have to manually check and translate each one to be sure they work

Is there a limit to the player's height? Do some people never get tall?

#

I saw in a forum that the initial players randomly assigned a "scale". Some players assigned a value that was too small, which would affect their later body shape changes. In terms of pictures circulating on the Internet, they could never reach the No.1 height and No.0 height. Is this true?

gusty sluice
#

Beta players know nothing about that. Only people who can unpack the game know exactly.

pearl roost
#

Of course, of course, I just want to verify that if it is true, it will become less meaningful for many players to sacrifice in Eden every week

gusty sluice
#

I just meant it's probably meaningless to ask in this channel

pearl roost
#

Because I go to Eden to sacrifice every week, but my height has not changed. Online customer service and civil servants have slowly come to this conclusion. What I want to say is that if it is true, please don't limit the height of each player.😭

slim kayak
#

@pearl roost your height doesn't change by going to eden? You use resize spells

simple bobcat
#

I can just tell you that I have gone through extremely small height to very tall height using resize spells, it just depends on your luck

slim kayak
#

Also, there is currently a bug with the spells not working. You have to restart your game to see a change

pearl roost
#

@pearl roost your height doesn't change by going to eden? You use resize spells
@slim kayak Of course, I know. I said that the potion has always been the highest on the 2 nd. It is not the problem that you have to restart the game to see this time. Is it that you use so many telescopic potions or on the 2 nd

#

The highest height is No.2, and I have never been to No.1 and No.0.

empty river
#

Scale is a thing, but it makes such a tiny difference that you probably won’t even notice it has an effect on us (ktjn talked about this let me quote it real quick)

slim kayak
#

Resize spells are random. But the height change should be visible. So if you are already short, chances are that you'll get taller.

Also, there are about 4000 different sizes. As giccix said, its a scale. Perhaps you've been unlucky

vast bayBOT
#
Ktjn

the range of possibilities in scale is incredibly trivial. it's not worth having a re-scale potion, would only result in angry posts about it not working.

[Jump to message](#beta-discussion message)

pearl roost
#

What's the probability? I used more than 200 potions, but I haven't seen No.1.

gusty sluice
#

They mean someone found there're limitations of what size a child can be by using potion in codes.
Just because they found 'scale' and don't believe it affects little.

empty river
#

Well if this has to do with looking at things in the code that’s sadly where this convo ends, we cannot discuss that

pearl roost
#

It's a pity. I just want the official to answer whether it is true or not. After all,😭

#

After all, it's too much trouble to find the wings again every week

slim kayak
#

There really isn't an official answer. There are fan made size charts, and even a website that tells you your height and the probability of getting taller or shorter, but other than the information we already know, we can't exactly help you. Sorry.

empty river
#

If it’s possible to reach no.1 height? Yes it is! But it’s a very, very tiny chance that you would get it because it’s one height out of 4000 stickerItsOk

slim kayak
#

You could probably get close though! If you've used 200 potions already, you've probably gotten close already

pearl roost
#

I like this game, but I also like higher height. I feel sorry that I can't reach height 1 and height I feel sorry for the height of No.0😔

#

No, I have a hunch that I will never reach these two heights, which is very desperate

empty river
#

You’ll get it eventually, my first resize potion waaay back in lightseekers made me almost max height, then I took another potion sometime in November, and it took me from then to March of this year to reach a similar height again SkyWhew some people are luckier tho, I hope you can get the height you want soon stickerHeart

pearl roost
#

Thank you. I'll look at my own height in January next year. If the highest one is still No.2, the online rumors may be true

#

Thank you for your answersstickerHeart

stone marsh
#

Just use chibi and tiny spell it’s so cute

vapid briar
#

For starters, there are no limiters on an individual player's height. If you've never managed to achieve 2.0, it's a matter of unfortunate randomness. The difference that scale makes to overall size of your skykid is fairly trivial, it's less than the difference between one number and the next on that player-made height guide that uses the 1-14 format. With the existence of 4000 different heights that can be achieved with the use of the Resize Potion, the chance of getting it is 0.025% per use. That chance does not increase per Potion used, there is no "bad luck protection" with increased use. You aren't going to magically get the height you desire in January. There is a livestream interview with Jenova (i think #5) on the TGC YouTube channel where he explains our desired goals around player height. Resize potions were not meant to be a means to achieve a specific height, they're supposed to be a fun thing to use periodically, it is intentional that we do not have a feature to accomplish this. The compromise to player demands was adding the ability to consistently obtain more potions from the spell shop. Though access is limited (can only buy a set number at a given time) and is further limited by obtaining with an in-game currency that cannot be obtained by spending money and has a hard cap to the amount obtained per week to prevent abuse. We genuinely listen to the community and try to make compromises that still uphold our design goals while giving players options.

is it bad i found a height i liked by channce and have like 20+ resize potiions collecting dust right now? pEyes

I used 3 resize potions and I've stayed at the height i got since release so... no kai, I also have about 15 potions sitting there SkyLOL

When the resize potions came out, I didn't know you could get so small by using them, so the very first potion I drank made me super small and I just burst out laughing!

valid terrace
#

Wouldn’t the ‘changes by at least ±0.8 each resize’ affect the chance, though, with the added randomness of the amount of the change of the height value?

#

Thus wouldn’t the 0.025% be incorrect?

gusty sluice
#

I've never used resize potion both in beta and in live. And in both server, I was wearing chibi mask when updating, which made me a buggy chibi size. Then in following updates, I was automatically switched to 13.

brave ibex
#

For a person whose scale value is negative, it is basically impossible for him to become the first two of the 14 heights defined by the player

valid terrace
#

I’m about +1.85 at the moment, and I often go around with a -1.7.

honestly the contrast is hilarious to me

brave ibex
#

When we say the highest, we don’t mean 1/4000,It is about 300/4000

valid terrace
#

Ye, I thought so

brave ibex
#

When the height value is higher, the influence of scale will increase. I am the one who has been reporting height problems.

#

If you think random scale is very interesting, please also give players the right to choose their own scale

gusty sluice
#

When live begun, kids were born with random height. Players were not satisfied.
TGC added potion in constellations. Players were not satisfied.
TGC added potion in magical shop. Players are not satisfied.

#

But I feel it's reasonable if players have different scales each time rebirthing...
Though I disapprove of the calling.

brave ibex
#

A great suggestion

oblique stump
#

But then you can't control it, what if you want to do an eden run but don't want to change heights?

brave ibex
#

different scale each time rebirthing

#

This will not be a big problem, people who care about height will go to Eden, and those who don't care about height will not even see the difference

prime lintel
#

they removed that feature a long time ago

kindred fossil
#

aren't scale and height two separate things

brave ibex
#

yes, Scale is another thing, but it affects how high it looks to a certain extent

slim kayak
#

i feel like this is better suited to go in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived
but the devs had reasons to make player height work the way it does with the randomness and not being able to choose, as stated by ktjn earlier.

of course, anything is subject to change in the future SkyShrug

oblique stump
#

I don't think size changes should be forced on the players, they might only want the ascended candles and no size changes

There is no other source of ascended candles in the game rn

stark sundial
#

For a person whose scale value is negative, it is basically impossible for him to become the first two of the 14 heights defined by the player
wdym is basically impossible?

brave ibex
#

When his height is close to +2.000, he is significantly lower than another person with a large scale

slim kayak
#

there aren't 14 heights. there are 4000, on a scale from -2.000 to 2.000.
it's highly unlikely, yes, since there is supposed to be a significant visual difference in height when you use a potion

stark sundial
#

how you know that two persons are closer to +2.0 ? the only way you know two players are close to +2.0 is if they both look around the same height SkyThink

prime lintel
#

the 14 height chart was fanmade and the devs have confirmed that it was inaccurate. They removed that pin and replaced it with the official height spectrum in the pins of #questions-and-help

brave ibex
#

The 14 heights defined by the player are enough to roughly distinguish heights. When we say the tallest, it does not mean 1/

#

How do you know that it is close to +2.000, it is not suitable to say here

stark sundial
#

so why are u even debating this here?

empty river
#

again, scale has such a minimal effect that its not worth the trouble

brave ibex
#

Because this is a potential problem, it does not mean that it is not a problem, it is a question of fairness

slim kayak
#

fairness? i'm not sure i'm following.

stark sundial
#

if you're talking about something you can't explain like how you know when 2 players are close to +2.0 and they are shown as very different height in game then it's unnecessary to start the debate in the first place, rng will never be fair anyways

brave ibex
#

So is it reasonable to randomly give the player a scale value when the account is created? Since there are already 4000 heights?

stark sundial
#

why not? why you care so much in your height?

prime lintel
#

there are 4000 heights on a scale from -2 to +2. I'm not sure what the issue is?

brave ibex
#

It's meaningless if you ask why not

slim kayak
#

when a new account is made, the skykid won't be in the extremes, or close to -2 or +2. they'll be in a small range in the middle. some will be slightly taller or shorter than other new skykids, but there is no way for a brand new skykid to be super tall or short, if that's what you meant

brave ibex
#

Account Creation
Given height ranges from -0.500 up to +0.500. Can be permanently modified with Resize Potions.
Given scale ranges from -0.1 up to +0.1. Cannot be permanently altered at this time.

slim kayak
#

that's what I meant. because the actual difference is so small, most players starting out won't even notice the difference until they use a resize potion for the first time. i'm still a bit confused as to what you are trying to say? stickerHuh

gusty sluice
#

Please, here is a channel named beta general discussion. If you want to suggest something, #wishlist-and-ideas-archived may be a better choice.

brave ibex
#

In fact, the gap is not small, more than 1/14 height defined by the player

#

Thank you, I won’t say more

no, i meant that the gap when you start out is small. but yes, we should probably move on to beta topics. if you want, leave your suggestion in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived

I actually prefer fire when it’s at the peak of difficulty with no clear routes, far apart white candles and terrible smoke that requires you to have a rule on how many candles you can run through with your friend before having to sit down for all the smoke

For starters, there are no limiters on an individual player's height. If you've never managed to achieve 2.0, it's a matter of unfortunate randomness. The difference that scale makes to overall size of your skykid is fairly trivial, it's less than the difference between one number and the next on that player-made height guide that uses the 1-14 format. With the existence of 4000 different heights that can be achieved with the use of the Resize Potion, the chance of getting it is 0.025% per use. That chance does not increase per Potion used, there is no "bad luck protection" with increased use. You aren't going to magically get the height you desire in January. There is a livestream interview with Jenova (i think #5) on the TGC YouTube channel where he explains our desired goals around player height. Resize potions were not meant to be a means to achieve a specific height, they're supposed to be a fun thing to use periodically, it is intentional that we do not have a feature to accomplish this. The compromise to player demands was adding the ability to consistently obtain more potions from the spell shop. Though access is limited (can only buy a set number at a given time) and is further limited by obtaining with an in-game currency that cannot be obtained by spending money and has a hard cap to the amount obtained per week to prevent abuse. We genuinely listen to the community and try to make compromises that still uphold our design goals while giving players options.

I just never cr. I do dailies and then goof off for 6 hours

if short on time, what i'd usually suggest is to do beta dailies and seasonal candle bunches (lots of candles in a really short amount of time), then spend rest of time on live -- good candle gain for limited time

yeah, knowledge really dials down the perceived difficulty of the fire trial; your friends don't know the timing of the wisps nor really have a sense of direction at all right now most likely

the live guys are probably getting a completely different experience than what we got going through all the iterations of the fire trial after the first blockier version

so basically how skybot works is they're fed some lines by the devs and mods and then they let skybot loose to do their own thing. and skybot be a lil gremlin sometimes sky_rofl

It wouldnt be so annoying if the monsters werent larger than life

i'm trying to see how badly i can break it pPopcorn
there might actually be some spots you can pull earth trial antics and hop right on top of the walls -- there's just little opportunity to do it alone since you'd die so far away from the candles

about the beta invites - i got in beta just by clicking upload button in google store - no invite link - is there some registration needed? I dont want to be swiped SkyScared

#

When an android testers leaves, a new tester can download and take their place

random gull
#

google seems to be letting people download as other google beta testers leave but from my understanding it's still not supposed to let people without access in and if you didn't get access through the invites (check the link in #beta-faq and see if it says if you are a tester) then you shouldn't be able to download even if someone leaves. you will have access wiped at the next access wipe either way so make sure you sign up for an invite again when that time comes

wicked sun
#

When in doubt, go left

Bruh has this been happening to you guys since i was hyped to get the anubis mask but this spirit did this to me - m - check the #beta-screenshots-videos

slim kayak
#

yes, it does that from time to time

Oh ok i used a chibi spell to get through

Shouldn’t matter. I glitched through many times and the spirit has always worked fine.

When the season ends on beta do you recon we’ll get some new content to test? pEyes pSkyHeart I’ve loved testing all the prophecy trials and stuff tho it’s been such a good beta first seasonstickerPlease

random gull
#

we can't really predict what the devs want us to test. could be next season or could be an event or could be UI changes. we never know until the update comes

flat shadow
#

Oooh I can’t wait!! I’m just so excited hehehestickerCelebrate stickerCelebrate

random gull
#

one thing I can predict: invite wave chaos sLaugh gonna be a LOT of people asking questions that are already answered in the faqs so be prepared for a 5-15 minute slowmode for a while. highly suggest if you haven't already to get a beta invites ping role so you're notified when new invites come because access is revoked between seasons now and you need to sign back up every time

Thought I’d bust in to say goodnight , night night everyone ... take care , have a good daynight 🤍

most of the time spent in beta is waiting for new content and then once we do get them time passes super fastpCry

Quick question- I remember Ktjn said the 11th wedge cape representations isn’t even in the game yet- is that still correct? Any pics of an 11th wedge cape stars are false?

random gull
#

yeah pics you see are photoshops. the UI is there (you can flap 11 times) but the design is still being worked on

stoic ocean
#

That’s what I thought. Thanks!!

gaunt prism
#

there is a "bug" that makes something different appear in the place where the level 11 cover design would be, but it only appears when you spend energy, then when you recover back to normal

stark sundial
#

it's a default design for a burned wedge after 5 wedges, you can make that appear with less than 11 wedges

gilded tree
#

the 11th wedge visual is still not implemented in the game yet, but have patience-it'll be there!

gaunt prism
#

But it appeared right in the place where the 11th star should appear, and it was just spending 1 level ... But I know it's a bug

random gull
#

hi Ash sHeyy

gilded tree
#

Hello!

#

the team has been pulling a lot of weight with the development of prophecy and this upcoming season, so 11th wedge is using the time to get some extra beauty sleep before making their debut ✨

stark sundial
#

Filha do Bug check what I sent in #beta-screenshots-videos it's a burnt wedge with only 8 wedge, it's that design that get on top of the first wedge in the 11 wedge when it gets burnt (spend)

random gull
#

and prophecy has been legit amazing. I love beta testing and watching the designs as yall update and improve the game pWow throwback to the ikea mattress icebergs sLaugh (I give up on my typos omg)

hollow cloak
#

The Air Trial redesign... pWow pWow pWow

#

I'm honestly astonished at how quickly things went from Enchantment to Sanctuary to Prophecy, and all of it was amazing... I hope everyone at TGC gets a break after this season SkyWhew
I know people will probably demand more content, but seriously, I can't imagine sustaining this much high-quality content for so long!

Im terrified of the power tgc holds while having less than 50(?) people in the team! Also it's 2:30 am

Trial of fire on live was a piece of cake compared to beta, I guess they’ll truly never know 😂

Season going to end in beta in another 6 days ;-; goodbye season goodbye my beta memories

random gull
#

that number isn't to be trusted too much sLaugh could end suddenly tomorrow or find out we have more to test past 6 days.

rain delta
#

Maybe too early to say this but anyone going to try for beta next time too?
Kai, I feel like they’ll push the new ui they’ve been working on for the emotes + the 11th wedge + the ts system updates

tender oasis
#

Im surprised we had such a long season pAww
Yap I plan to reapplystickerPlease

rain delta
#

IKR! And it felt so full... even though we only had 4 spirits >< the season felt so full.. my fave one is still probably enchantment tho.. my mouth was wide open every time I went to ark for a new quest haha

#

Omg it feels so weird to think that in another 3 weeks the season will almost conclude in live and it’ll be time for the next beta rounds ... like whaaaa where did the time goooo??

random gull
#

I've been in beta since March so yeah I def plan to stay if I make it through the chaos sLaugh

tiny umbra
#

Only thing that can tear me away from beta is is suddenly I did not have a sky compatible device anymore or if i died

rain delta
#

Massive amount of respect for the devs... how they build a new season + existing prod bugs + new features with just 50 people and around 70 days for coding is beyond me... I can imagine they pull long nights working at the office ><

#

i plan to be here even though i'm in google limbo. i don't know if i should really re-enter though, i'd just take up a slot for someone who can actually play. SkyShrug

#

@kindred fossil wooooow dark I didn’t know we can do that. I’m awed thx for sharing! stickerHeart

prime lintel
#

super late, but I'm not sure if I'll reapply for beta. My schedule doesn't really allow much time for the live version of Sky, let alone beta testing. I'll probably lurk here, but I feel like the spot would probably be better off going toward someone who might be a more robust and active tester

vapid briar
#

You all asked for the season to be longer on beta so y'all had something to do on beta after the content goes live and we listened.

I like long seasons, I will have more than 300 Candles 654848095410192403

Finally I won't be poor anymore in beta :D

analog citrus
#

I lost like 250 legitimately got candles when they reset us after the sanctuary bug “fix” so these babies are gonna get spent. Waste elder hair here I come

#

Will we get the double heart event in beta when it comes in live?

real dock
#

So, is it possible to hv 150 wl in beta?

copper bison
#

yep, i'm pretty sure it's also avaliable in live too though i'm not sure my brain is fried pFIRE

analog citrus
#

Yep got it in live 5 min ago 🙃

#

I’m not in the beta version of sky but I’m curious to know how many days left of the season do you guys have?

slim kayak
#

we have 6-ish days left. but of course, the devs could decide to end our season tomorrow so... SkyShrug

lucid onyx
#

Ohh okay thank you!

fathom river
#

gosh. season is gonna be over already.

#

i still have 15 friends and some random people i added because the quest said to bow/Hi to a friend that is actually online. haha but I enjoyed it

random gull
#

not sure why you tagged me in that? or what you even mean by it

sullen relic
#

Not entirely sure if I’ll reapply for the next beta wave myself, but will very likely lurk in here either way in case I have weird antics to suggest pSkyPeek

hollow cloak

I love beta testing (even if most of the bugs I find are flickering graphics pFIRE) so I'm definitely going to try and get in next wave SkyRally
