I am sleepy 啊 困死了
If you sleepy, go sleep
Pls don't ruin your body 
thank you QAQ
I’m very sleepy but it’s 10 am
(I’m aware it doesn’t apply to me
)

2am here
It's ok, we don't need to go through the whole world clock. 😉


Can i ask Something? 
These days of feast have Christmas tree?
(Like, maybe office?)

There hasn't been any update to beta regardin a possible Days of Feast. It will presumably be in beta, but until it's in the patch notes no one knows.
I don’t know what the previous days of feast looked like, but I would assume as a repeat event it would be the same as last year in the office
No i mean last times decorations!
Office was decorated to let the peolpe have fun!
I heard that crabs are piggyback the presents 🎁
it will be cute!
Latest live patch notes (0.11.4 build 157539) there was notice about Days of Feast coming sometime in december, last year we had some decoration in office but we don't know if it will be the same or have something else, gotta actually wait for it so we can see it exactly
I have a single pic of the present crabs during days of feast. There were lots of presents and lights last year, but I don't remember too much
Thats the answer i was looking for! 
it was there last year iirc
Will you be qualified for the test today
Wait so it’s still 150?
I better finish as many constellations as I can before they’re released
Thank you! Its good to hear that!

Sent a pic of the present crabs in #beta-screenshots-videos

I wish those presents could be collectable just like Enchantment mushrooms 
Not yet, we don’t know when they start
Thank you
If you read the #beta-announcements you’d know the prices are not placeholders and they most likely won’t be changing anytime soon. The new capes are not counted when it comes to completion which is also in the statements made in updates channel.
Oh thank you 
I just noticed that my Sky ID is different in beta and live. I’d just assumed it was the same cause it’s tied to the same Game Center & Google account and what not. Glad I checked. Better keep a screenshot of both just in case you lose your account
!betalive
Beta and Live versions of Sky are completely separate apps. Progress/purchases in one have no effect on progress/purchases in another.
can i know why you playing beta beside teaster?
i like seeing how things develop and improve overtime
i'm only on beta for seasonal because i'm playing live server, and i cant play too many server xD
I like to see the improvements too, but in general, beta is exciting. More like a treasure hunt than bug hunt. There are always new things popping up, new features which affects other features. It’s fun to find them, or at least try and think about why did they appeared, and can we avoid them somehow or make them work etc.
same as dark tbh, also I like helping in a way and discovering stuff (and I love the beta community here too, makes me feel part of something in a way)
i'm naturally likely to test and break stuff to see what can be done, so i figured i'd be more likely to run into situations where doing something would cause the game to become unplayable or problematic -- better to find that as early as possible in beta rather than in live (though in all honesty otherwise, i've almost been treating live and beta the same way these last 2-3 months)
i played beta mostly because i like bug hunting and giving feedback, along with watching things change and improve. there's usually always something going on. i also met a lot of my close sky friends from beta
I started playing beta because it was the only way to play on Android before release, but I stayed becuase I love helping and knowing that I had an impact on the game I love. The beta community is so welcoming too, and I have so much fun finding bugs. A lot of my favorite memories are from bug hunting and generally breaking the game 
i just wish i'm find out this game sooner xD because those ult gift from old season look cool
and do you think the new ts system will come to live? last time i saw they said they put something into the umbrella ts but they delay it
The patch notes in Live said nothing about the TS whatsoever.
it's early into development so it's unknown wether it will or not, but i can see it taking effect, just not the way it is currently
I play beta because it’s quieter and I can walk away from people easier for the same reason as most people have said
I like seeing things grow up and I love learning about the technical aspect of bugs and stuff
i found a bug but i'm not sure about it, because everytime light my friend list those friend order keep changing place right after i'm collect their light and its so anoying keep flashing and changing order
#beta-faq tells us to report bugs even if we're unsure, it still helps the devs 
I’m too confused by the beta updates
i found it on live server xD
yeah seems to be fixed for beta, it was there first but not anymore
i wanted to but i take too much step xD made me lazy lmao
It's pretty straightforward, the devs don't need an analytical essay on how you found the bug.
Just explain what you know and keep it simple 
I also psyched myself out of bug reports for maybe a week or so before I realized I was thinking way too hard about it, it's actually pretty easy to submit reports! 
i envy those who write 30k word feedback, when i try to be detailed or get a point across my brain freezes
half the time that I write a big feedback I forget to hit send on it and then a new update comes and I’m like well this is outdated now 
i envy those who write 30k word feedback
i envy those who can be concise while preserving all the necessary details, i've had more than one instance where skybot was like "bruh, shorten your message"
I also envy concise people, although I must admit that I've never had Skybot call me out on message length before
(Aside from that one time I mixed up the version and build numbers
)
Are beta members back in testflight? (For ios)
Nobody has beta in TestFlight right now, you can only play beta until access expires, then you can only play until they force an update. Then you’ll have to wait for the invites so you can get beta back in TestFlight again 
D:
is there really a translator coming to the game?
We don’t know if it will come to live or not as we’re still testing it but it’s in beta!
Its been in beta for almost a year now 
oh wow thats interesting
is it that buggy?
Yes sometimes it doesn’t translate something well
but hopefully we’ll keep testing and it might come to live! 
It can be difficult to use at times and some languages are not very accurate. They've been trying to update languages and fix some minor bugs
hmm
well i dont see why they couldnt theoretically put it as an available option....
better to see then not to see imo, and if people disagree, they can simply just not turn on the option which would (theoretically) be in the settings menu
at some points the translator was game-breaking and/or extremely laggy and/or bypassing the filters
it's honestly not something that's ready to be in game yet, but I'm sure it will be eventually
many players use keyboard translation apps like gboard for now
It’s not just things like it doesn’t translate things correct all the time, it’s things like it not working at all or having issues with the censor in game. We would all love to have a in game translator but the devs have their reasons for not adding things that are in beta in a short timeframe
yeah I’ve noticed some words that should be filtered in other languages don’t get filtered and if you translate it to english it shows plain as day.it’s a work in progress so any feedback/bug reports you could give on it not functioning correctly will help that process
Can Facebook still log in? My number is bound to Facebook and I can't log in
if you did not update to the latest version last week, you can no longer play. Access was wiped for everyone, and invites have not started yet
Thank you. I see. The qualification invitation didn't start. I don't know if it's from Facebook, so it's very troublesome
Hope they start tomorrow but who knows lol
All invites are from here
please don’t camp in the channels tomorrow
they’ll just be getting back from a holiday so there’s no guarantee that they’ll have the time tomorrow. as long as you have the beta invites ping role and have your notifications set to allow role mentions from this server then you’ll be good 
If you don't start competing, Facebook won't be ??????
Lol I’m always camping out here when invites come even tho I have a ping ready and waiting 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right bed time
#I don't know if I can get it
I can log in to Facebook this time. I like to be qualified for this one
Morning, guys!
good morning
Good mornin! <D
The invite waves is coming...
Sometime soon, yep ^^ There’s no guarantee it’s tomorrow though, or even within the next week
Hello there, people who aren't current beta testers are allowed to speak here right?
Yes just be aware of spoilers 
Gotcha, cause I just got a new phone today that's able to play sky really smoothly and can actually download testflight! I'm hoping I can catch the next invite wave~
Yeeeee :D!!!! That’s lovely, best of luck!!
Alrighty good luck! Hopefully you can become one of our beta tester friends!

Oh yeah, uhhh
Does anyone know about how many waves are sent out? And is it over the span of one day?
we won’t know how many are sent out and usually it spans a couple of days
I really like how supportive the beta chat is when it’s calm like this 💜
Yeah! <D You guys are all so nice and welcoming, I feel like I can ask any questions and I feel welcomed in the community. Frankly that goes for all of Sky ^^ You guys are the best!! 
Hello , goodmorning !!!
Morning!
As a general reminder it is 5pm on a Sunday where TGC is, please don’t expect invites to come out any time soon
We will! And good morning!
Yep, Sunday evening. They are still on holiday 
They should rest, they've been working hard on sky and should enjoy some quality time at home~
I WANT BETA!
About 3pm?
theres no set time for beta invite waves thank goodness for voice to text
Will there be news today?
last holiday
so excited abt new invites
Oh!!!
Maybe we need to camp here until the invitations is released 🤣
We do not know when invites will come back, even when tgc is back on holiday it doesn’t mean invites will come out
Please do not camp, beta is really not that important
;-;
Try not to get your hopes up on tomorrow, we don’t know when they’ll be out, so you shouldn’t camp lest you be extremely disappointed if they don’t come out tomorrow
Nope Don't camp here
Your health is important than games! 
Please don’t camp as that can be dangerous for your health, we want everyone to be healthy so they can test at their best. There will be plenty of invites for every time zone so just get the invites role and wait for the notification. Have a happy and healthy day! (And don’t forget your sneep!)

Yea you're right 😢. I guess I just need to turn on the ping role and wait
I will back to sleep
Yessss pls sneepsnop for your health 
My friend won't let me do that at all :/ btw it's still morning here, so I'm still okay 🥺
It's so cute!! Thank you ❤️
Please only use English @still temple 
Sneep snorp to ready for the invite tomorrowww 
I see you, @dusky jolt, you should probably sleep, brah 
camp.hhhh
Nawww, you guys should rest. Even if you miss the first wave, there’s gonna be more than one. You’ll have plenty of time to catch at least one <D
to camp!!! 
invites aren’t guaranteed to come tomorrow please don’t camp
(just particularly don’t be announcing when people are typing in channels. the invites will happen when they happen. get yourself a ping role in #beta-faq and wait for the ping) still thankful for voice to text right now. I’ll head out though before voice text doesn’t understand me anymore
camping 
please just get the role in #beta-faq
It’s dangerous to camp here ! Haven’t you heard the story of the ten foot tall crab ? 🔦👁️👁️
I know ... I've been camping for 3 days, heading for day 4
please do not camp the invite channel. The invites will come when they come. just make sure you have the ping role. 
anyone camp in here during their sleep time, will have 10 krill wait at home.
that's very unhealthy 
please sleep and take care of yourselves... beta isnt too important because it’ll come in live anyways
Please, I pinky promise with both my pinkies that you’ll have the chance to join. They send the invites all throughout the day so people from all timezones have a chance to join
Take note ; Everytime you think of trying to camp, refer to ktjn's message in the invite channel, please 
In some places it would be in midnight when the invites release, but in other places it wouldn't be midnight. But there will be more invites suited for different time zones and not just that one.
(And we don't even know if it will be at midnight, because we don't know when invites come out.)
We dont know when invites will be released. It is highly unlikely for one to happen in the next few hours since its still the weekend and night time for tgc
yes
Can I click the ios invitation link on my Android device?
Must the ios invitation link be opened in safari?
invitation links are separated by platforms because they require different processes
the iOS beta is through TestFlight, which is an iOS only app
you can use any browser to open the invitation
You must click the links using the device you wish to test on
You can’t use a computer to access the iOS beta links as well
OK.Thank u
idk where to ask this but im gonna ask it here
so does anybody know when the new season will be in the beta version?
Please don’t type out long messages, and please keep everything in English. Instead direct people to the proper channels
i didn't see it sowy
btw thanks bean
@simple coyote, to join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-signup-info! You can learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.
Did you not just read what I said 
OK i will delete it(recently i found out a lot chinese asking so imma help them translate?)
I understand wanting to help, but writing out long messages and posting them constantly is just as disruptive as people asking questions without reading first
You can help with translations privately, but the rules of the server allow only English
Guys? A question. I was in the beta this season (the season of prophecy). Do I have to get an invitation again? My friend said <<It depends on how active you were>>? in this point, I was quite often visiting the beta.
You can read more about beta access in #beta-faq
Quick overview: TGC removed all beta access you you will need to get an invitation again
everyone has to rejoin even activve beta testers
it doesn't matter how active you are in beta, everyone gets wiped at the end of testing and must rejoin via invite waves
@slim kayak, to join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-signup-info! You can learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.
When do you guys think the invites’ll come
I don’t know when but i hope they come while i am not asleep
OK, thanks. Are TGC going to announce when they're giving new links?
!ts
The next Traveling Spirit is here and will be in Home until 11:59 pm Sunday Pacific Time! 
You can read how Traveling Spirits work here: http://bit.ly/TravelingSpirits
They won’t announce them. Ig. Last time i remember they gave away link randomly with an interval of 12 hours approximately
There is no announcement for beta invites to prevent people from camping out in the channels
past invite wave times aren't the best indicator as to when they happen, since ktjn has to do them on her own time.
Oh so usually the timings differ?
Huh, what means I should check the beta-invs daily? Alfine./
There's no prediction whatsoever in waves. No nothing. Just wait patiently, they will come when ktjn wants to
what i have done it that i put #beta-signup-info notifications on high priority.
is the invite start yet?
@wary zephyr head on over to #beta-faq and learn how to turn on notifications for invites

z
zzz
zzzzz
why did you chat " zzz " ?

Hi
The invite waves are coming... 
Really?
Don't send the wrong message
If you feel sleepy just go sleep. Pls don't spam zzzz in chat. That doesn't help your sleep

will the new capes change desgin ? I am not satisfied with the design a little bit
@still socket it is up to the devs since those things are still in beta and not in live yet. But if you have constructive feedback, feel free to submit on #beta-feedback 
Good morning 
yeah
Mmmm, not sure if this is a problem but when i came back to read faq, i found the role button are not clicked yet
And im pretty sure i clicked it last week
I think the numbers reset every now and then, which is just how discord works. Beta Invites Roll is on your status ^^
sometimes the devs have to reset the roles because discord gets a bit funky when too many people react. you will still have the role whenever they reset them
:/
I did not get a redeem code or invite 🥺🤧🥺
There haven't been any invite waves yet
When is there gonna be one? 🤩
We don't know. Whenever the developers are ready they will send them out

So is everyone gonna get one???
if you are fast enough
There are only a few thousand slots, and it's first come first serve. Not everyone will be able to get in unfortunately
Oh 🥺
it's not a guarantee that everyone will get in as it is basically first come first serve
Where will the beta invites be announced?
If you would like to know more about beta, the process, and how to get notified for invites, read through #beta-faq 
We don't know when waves happen. Its random
Oh where? In #beta-signup-info
Gentle reminder to not camp out in the invites channel, as there is no set time for waves to come.
Will there be invites coming soon? Just thought id ask because so many people are talking about it
We dont know. Invites are never announced beforehand
end of thanksgiving break
Eh, it’s still Midnight for them VuV Let them sleep. We should probably get some sleep too
Just a reminder: Even though Thanksgiving break is over, it is currently midnight here in California so please remain calm
I see provoking performer in home space as TS https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/618891214527266846/782881163227955230/image0.png
That reminds me that I live in California and therefore should be sleeping 
Goodnight! 
I know I just saying my thanksgiving break is end too lol
Is today TS day?
I should definitely be asleep, but uh... new ts system maybe? Cause the ap nodes are free
Go sneep, Aeras

Fine 
We don't know anything yet, just another surprise from TGS as always 
TGC needs to sleep
T G S
thatgamespirit
omg i really dont realize my typo sorry, tgc and thankyou for correcting 
i assume thats a bug
@silent lily, to join future beta invite waves, watch for announcements in #beta-signup-info! You can learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.
the marked items are for free

: Stickeryum: I'm looking forward to the registry link
Why does the spirit of traveling appear?
We don't know..or maybe early Christmas present

Interesting so I guess that’s the change they’re thinking of making.. making the items that are pass locked free but making the non pass locked one expensive..
But I don’t like this spirit tree.. we are forced to buy the paper hat first first for the mask o_o
Not a holiday gift
Wait, beta tree is different from live?
Because it is optimized, it is under test
Yea the tree is different now... it’s the same tree as what was there I think during the season the spirit came..
It seems like a new TS system, but nothing confimed yet since ktjn should be having a nice sneep snorp 
Wait, so in beta, instead of mary Poppins, the gratitude spirit came?
No Mary poppins also showed up, but we also got mr karate stance
Confusing
so is beta
damn why the hat be 70 candles doe, time to farm
I like this new system btw, of making the items free
IKR ;-; I like the making items free part, but I don’t like how the tree is arranged ;-; what if I don’t like the hat and don’t want it? I’m still forced to buy it for the mask ;-;
~~when u just spent lots of candles for giving hearts but there comes 70 candles for karate hat ~~ 
that's how it works during the season
Why is Kabuki suddenly here
But you still get the mask for free. So practically, you’re paying 70 candles for two items which ain’t that bad imo
Personally I feel making those items even more expensive only adds even more pressure with CRing, and even more pressure as to cough up your equivalent of a USD tenner for the AP
Will rephrase this for feedback, maybe, but is it a bad idea considering I’m not in Beta
It’s different during the season tho, first, the price is about 1/3 of the price of the item when it comes back as a TS. I don’t really see how this reduces cr stress honestly... I still need 70 candles — before the price was distributed between the kabuki mask + the hat and I had a choice between the two, I could spend the candles on an item I wanted.. —- now the hat is singularly 70.. and I have to get the hat to get the other item...if anything the pricing got worse... -_-
But Ned, you’re getting 2 items before for that price... now without the pass, you only get 1??
Put that thing above in feedback, but phrase it more neutrally - and suggest other ideas.
I’m going to sit on this for a bit more, before I put anything into feedback haha
I understand the idea behind it absolutely, but I personally feel this iteration only makes it even worse.
Looking at the screenshot since I cant open beta anymore, does that mean they go ahead and make the AP locked TS a thing?
I agree,I think people will be more stressed about candle running now, because items are pass locked now and it’s not guaranteed that you would be able to get a pass all the item. So to unlock the ‘freebie’, they’d stress to get the required candles for the tiers below on the ts tree.
Ok I actually searched for how much both items costed when the kabuki spirit visited us for the last time, and it was around 75 candles, so it doesn’t make much sense to me either if the purpose is supposed to be reducing all the candle running
Kabuki III: Redemption
The new TS system is still being tested, so no guarantee it will make into Live, unless the devs feel that it is ready.
If the mask is AP locked, there's no way F2P players gonna spend that much candles just for a hat. 
I’m glad we’re debating this calmly though
Yea :( 75 for 2 and 70 for one (mandatory) is really not a great deal at the end :(... I’m only seeing negatives right now.. despite the freebies... anyone seeing any positives that outweigh the cons?
Want to get a different outlook on this..
The entire concept of involving the AP with the TSs - though an experiment - creates nothing but inequality in my eyes.
How is this meant to be? You need an adventure pass to be able to unlock items of Travelling Spirits?
...if they change the prices, maybe ww. Less hearts spent on upgraded emotes. Uh. Quite frankly I’ve been having mixed feelings about the entire AP lock since the idea started being tested, and I still do now.
I feel like the other problem is — introducing these changes after everyone got used to the existing system... u_u
It’s obviously going to lead to some dissonance
Basically, yes. The items that used to be obtainable for seasonal candles during season are obtainable for regular candles, and the items that required an adventure pass during the season, require adventure pass now as well
I see mostly negatives, but I am a pessimist honestly ckndlcjdocjpsjdj
and I don’t like how negative I am about everything
That doesn't sound too good to me too... Which pass will be required? The one of current season?
Presumably?
The one of the current season untill the preoreders for next season
Yea, the pass of the current season and my bet is that, during off season - they’re going to introduce a way to purchase passes for upcoming seasons earlier and obviously they’ll allow for gifting of passes to happen earlier too
For me the travellers were a chance to get items that were locked under a pass before at a later date. This would not be possible now and players that can't afford passes never will get a chance for specific items they might like.
I just think they will lose active players this way since what most do is candle running for TS. 
That is true. I can totally see people without the AP in particular not being happy about the changes because -although the ones who do have an AP get some stuff for free or perhaps a tiny bit cheaper (5 candles, h-hah)- the ts system that’s being tested in beta right now only takes some stuff away from them, not giving anything in return
It basically means that a locked item will remain a locked item forever
That’s sort of what the traveling spirit has become in the community.. but ktjin did say that was never the intent of the traveling spirits.. but I think st the end of the day, regardless of intent, it was received in that way and changing it now to relock items feels a bit... idk what word to use here... cheap? Even if it might help some people, idk.. I really like the discount system idea still...
It also means that without a pass at hand the available items steeply increase in prize. Since you only will get one item without pass at the prize for two.
What if we consider the pass locked items as ones exclusive for pass owners. I mean cosmetics are not mandatory to win or play this game so certain ones should not be limiting factors for the gameplay...
Please correct me if im wrong
Sorry if i sound greedy. Thats not my intention
Im just keeping the discussion
Are the ts schedules changed in beta?
@rain delta I totally support what you say. If this wasn't their intent they should never have given the items away without a pass lock! Everybody is looking forward to the travellers because they know they can finally get that one item they were looking forward to while they couldn't afford a pass. And honestly... I don't mind that having had passes myself, that a player that hasn't had can get these items, too. I mean waiting times for these spirits can be up to a year.
I feel like that conversation thread has been brought up and discussed multiple times, but I do feel cosmetics play a big role in this game... It’s not an RPG open world like Genshin impact... honestly in Genshin impact — we care less about the type of wings a character has and instead care about characters and unlocking the right weapons or getting the right characters... because that’s what needed for the game or what makes the game fun
I feel for sky, the artistic aspect of it, really makes it feel like a social media game where cosmetics feel like an extension of myself... so intended or not, cosmetics are a big part of the game... and I know they added the new trials and tried to change up game play a bit
But, idk about others, but for me, the trials became as repetitive as the races in valley after playing/testing them in beta... I honestly didn’t even do the trials in live yet....
So to that extent, cosmetics give a meaning to the hearts in the game, to candle running daily in the game etc..
why would I care if other people send me hearts unless I knew I could get a new cosmetic in the game
But that said, the game is different things to different people, for me at the moment, it’s very heavy on the cosmetics... u_u

We don’t know atm, the kabuki ts was a big surprise to everyone I think ww
I feel the inequality this creates among players might arise conflicts. As playing from Android start in live I am in the comfortable position of having unlocked many travelling spirits. So I got these for "free" at the prize of candle running. While players that will join after this change never had any chance to do that.
And still there is one or two spirits I craved for from the start and then might never be able to unlock, despite candle running every day to prepare for them. Unless I happen to have a pass at that time.
Also I agree with cosmetics being an important part of the game. While they may not be mandatory to achieve certain goals they are a way of self expression which is very important in a social game! I'm not seldom being friended because a player likes the look I wear and thinks we might become good friends because they enjoy a similar style for example.
To me the adventure pass grants you the immediate access to the AP locked items and emotes upgrades. Waiting for the spirits for months if not longer is enough of a price for the ones who did not purchase the pass in my opinion. Even more so since the ts system has been working the way it has been for almost a year now, I feel like it’s going to be really badly received by the community if it ever gets changed like this.
I understand that adventure pass sales and special event items may not suffice for a healthy business model on a long-term basis but I don't feel this change will be perceived as positive among the player base that does support the game for quite a while by now.
Sheorun, ktjin did say this wasn’t because of AP sales or special event item sales... ktjin said this was due to the number of people who were purchasing candle packs to unlock items from the ts..
in effect, these individuals were spending up to $20 on candle packs per traveling spirit...
ktjin said the studio stands to loose money by making this change, however, they’re making this change, keeping these people in mind..
here is the reference : #beta-discussion message
I see. That does make sense as well. I guess it would balance itself though. There's players that have to buy a pass now but didn't before, so I suppose it is hard to say how it would really effect on sales.
If this is the case however... Why lock it behind a paid system? And not adjust the prizes that by the way got even steeper since the second time sassy stance appears?
wait, so the items that has AP icon is free but still only for the AP holders only there? I THOUGHT IT WAS free for ap holders but costs candles for non ap holders 🤔🤔🤔
Now that would be an entirely different idea!
The discount idea for AP holder is the best imo.
It seems like the ultimate gift of the season, where u can only buy the cosmetics if u purchase the seasonal pass
Because i recently just got the kabuki mask for free, and that item is having that AP icon right there. i just clicked into the mask and it has dots.. well wow..
Make it free for those that hold a pass but buy it with candles for a set prize if you haven't. This would only give further discount for pass holders, making it more valuable while at the same time mainting the possibility to unlock without a pass.
This would make more sense if they didn’t make the -in this case- hat price rise to 70 candles ww. Otherwise it really makes very little sense to me because you still need to get just as many candles to get the current ts’ items
Yeah you would need to maintain prizes in a similar fashion as before. But the idea itself is great I think. I don't think this is where they are currently going though. It seems more likely to need a pass to unlock at all.
Well then gotta write that feedback eh ww 
the pass-for-items-from-ts is so disappointing tbh, glad it got removed as of now
I'm no beta tester, so I don't feel I'm in the position to do that. I just like to lurk here and see whats up ahead.
the price of the hat in the ts spirit tree.. has it been increased or was it always 70 candles?
It has been increased indeed. I think it costed around 30 candles the last time
Another sidethought: If you now pay double the prize for achieving two items, how will this decrease candle-run stress? If you have to pay for a pass anyways why not just leave he prizes for free items the way they were in season?
oh you think seasonal candles and normal candles should have the same exchange rate when it comes to purchasing items from the ts?
If formerly paid items are locked behind a pass purchase anyways why not?
it should be fine to leave feedback as long as you understand the context behind what you're criticizing
Correct me of im wrong , but weren’t gratitude pass items , free of candles in the first place, when the season played ??
The lock items is free for me
Locked items are always free for the AP holders during the season, right? But with TS gotta buy them with candles (before system changes)
I just claimed free mask and music note from the TS today
On beta? That's the new system they're testing. You prob have the AP for Prophecy since IAP is free on beta.
can someone reminds me how it will cost in AC for the new capes pls ?
On beta, yes
mask was free for me as well
They went gone holiday, I think their money ran out whatever Hahahah
sky broke im out here bb
x3 of the original price, 75 total
I was talking about when the season run in live version , weren’t the pass items free of candles back then ? It’s been a while ago
only 75 in total ? niiice thank you
Are there prophecy symbol when you guys bought it? I can't access beta anymore so I just based it from the screenshot. And from what I see the free items are AP locked.
there was on the emote upgrade and the music sheet. cant remeber about the mask
the prophecy logo is on all pass locked items
i do not see u_u
Ahh yes. So IF this system comes to live, the mask would only be free for AP holders. And non AP holders can't buy it at all.
correct
Just to add another bit to the conversation. If tgc decides to introduce the adv. pass to the ts system (replicate season ap logic), I think it will only be fair to release ts schedule so people can decide if they want to get (buy or get gifted) the ap or not.
ah, i'm sorry. i'm a little confused. does the new change in ts system mean there is no option for non AP holders to buy the items locked behind the AP logo?
I do have a lot of give away pass. Don't have the current pass though because the season is over.
With the current beta system, yes. But It hasn't come to live.
That was a so ethic right that means give money or ur friends given
even with the current system that should've been the case, a lot of frustration stems from saving up for weeks only for it be a TS you don't want
@vapid drum yes you are right, the cosmetics were hearts back when gratitude was first released, but you still required seasonal candles to move up the tree
is this ur justice someone can’t give money some country adveture pass so expensive
What time have invite to beta !!!!!
we don't know, as long as you have the notification role you will be notified
@hasty vessel that’s what I thought , maybe tgc wants to bring back the TS in the original form as they were during the seasons
Is that’s what I would call a fair return for the seasonal spirits
i agree but i think it may be a little counterintuitive to hike up the prices of the free items and then also require the ap for some of the cosmetics. it incentivises grinding and spending money which i don’t agree with
but in saying that the current seasonal system requires you to pay up and farm for seasonal candles so i’m in two heads about it right now 
Guys , sorry to interrupt the discussion .. I'm just confused over a picture that my friend shared with me .. In the picture , it was the karate kabuki spirit that returned. Is it true ?
I checked beta, and its true
it returned with a new system, beta-only obviously
Don't beta and live have the same ts schedules , and the same spirit visits ? Wait that's confusing
The thing is tho, is that the prices are low for season items during the season, and even then the seasons last for so long that you could miss a ton of days of daily candles and still have enough for everything. It’s also pretty cheap for how many items you get, only 10 dollars for all the rewards. The case of the ts is different. 10 dollars for one or two cosmetic items, and then in the case of the karate spirit, you have to pay 70 candles, something that many people won’t be able to afford unless they candle ran on a schedule. The point of this was supposed to reduce the need for grinding, but instead this did everything but that... if that was the problem they were trying to fix they hit way off the mark
beta has one distinct difference with the TS system in that old nodes that were previously locked behind an adventure pass are visible, so there's clearly some difference between live and beta with the TS programming -- the kabuki spirit being here is definitely pretty weird though
Oh for sure
Reducing the amount of farming comes at a price and I understand their system and I like it .... you farm and pay too .. seems fair to me ... I’m happy whatever they choose as long as farming candles stays as that’s what I like
I like the farming system too. It makes the reward feel great and well deserved, and the act of increasing the prices with the introduction of more candles to get daily also helps. And usually if you’re committed to getting an item and you candle run from when it’s announced to when it leaves, you’ll be able to get the item. Me and my friend have done that countless times and it’s great 😄
Just be feel lucky we get to have input on stuff in game cause other games are totally different and the price is the price and that’s final ...
So uh, haven't checked beta for a while, and scrolled up pretty far 
First, I kinda feel okay with the beta TS System,
Second, I think kabuki lost track of day 
beta is always subject to change
My opinion is that there should be an option. I understand putting items behind a paywall for those who are able to afford it, but I think there needs to be an option to grind for all the people who can't
Kabuki came a little too early 
If that's the case, the discount system would maybe suffice
Sorry which discount system? If it involves payment, keep in mind that a LOT of players are underage and can afford literally zero
Okie, Lil thanks
invites have yet to start at all, there's been no new posts in #beta-signup-info
they’re not even guaranteed to be today. but it’s also like 3 am TGC time so maybe not get too excited yet.
In terms of candles. AP holders can get the items much cheaper. While those who don't have it can still grind for full price
I don’t know what I would do if farming got cut from sky ... ohh wait yes I would leave .. farming is everything to me and all my close friends ...the flying mechanics is amazing in sky and no better way of using flight is candle farming other than that cut farming you might aswell take away capes .. so that goes I go ... 😂
the kabuki/karate spirit appearing is making me confused tbh, so ill just read through to find a clue about it
Hasnt kabuki come already? Like 2/3 months ago iirc?
seems to be beta testing the new TS system revamp?
full/nearly full runs daily is quite draining. as an ap holder I like the changes but they clearly rule out f2p players from the whole thing which is iffy in my view - maybe the ap items should be free for passholders and similarly priced as in the current system for others?
Oh ok. I would be ok with that. I get the pass each season, but I wouldn't mind grinding some. I'm just worried about disenfranchising so many players by putting it behind a firm paywall. Thank you for taking the time to explain that btw
Help the TS. He is lost.
well tgc did mention the umbrella spirit is not apart of the ts revamp project they're planning yet so i assume they're working on it?
I dont really like how the tree has been reorganized 
Imo Free of charge or discounted candles for AP holders should be fine. Locking them only for those who have it doesn't feel right
I do dislike how you have to buy the other cosmetic to get to the top of the tree, what if someone doesn't like the other one? 
I dont like the hat this is quite a pickle I'm in
this is scaring me. imagine having to buy an item you doesn't really prefer to buy due to limited candle budged for the item you wanted, but you need to do it anyways 
i'm assuming the current TS friendship tree is working the way it does during seasons, you have to buy everything wether you like that one specific cosmetic or not
Let’s all wait to hear from team. Probably a bug like Spirit Wax.
provoking performer just cannot stay away 
Does anyone know the total of candles you can spend for this lost TS ?
I can't really buy anything from them to check myself and I wanna know how far it went down
70 hat, 5 blessing and 3 heart. Rest with AP lock are Free
let's hope for the best 
78 candles oh dear 
vs 104 candles and 13 hearts last appearance
Whoa, 78 candles ?
A less than a week full cr can get you everything oh my
the price seems fine for the AP holders. But f2p players only gets a hat for 70 candles...
The ts ain’t compulsory, just enjoy the season and if you feel like it then get the ts ... either way don’t let it bother you guys and gals too much , it’s not healthy to worry about things that are small like the ts when their are bigger issues in the world .... whatever happens things always work out and everyone gets what they want in the end 🤍🕊️🤍
the price decreased for AP holder 
Skybot simply deletes my confusion part 3827 💔
I tend to get ts by impulse, especially if they have something I want 
wait why are yall agreeing
ts is a pretty significant part of a lot of players' experience which we can't dismiss imo
TS is the thing I look forward to every 2 weeks. And the reason I CR everyday.
same
I really only cr the day of the ts hint and everything after that, but often it's only when the ts arrives I'll actually cr
I do CR for fun 
Yes, of course there will always, always be larger things to worry about in the world. However we are talking about Sky and we all have things we enjoy about it, we also shouldn't be dismissive of those elements of the game that are important to others and comprise a key component to their enjoyment.
I want the ultimate reward. Do I have a chance?👀
Seasons give enough time, I have a friend who missed half of sanctuary and managed to get both ult rewards
As someone who started in enchantment? The TSes are my saving grace in terms of.. me managing to achieve my dream look. Which I have by now! After.. 8 months of playing...
I also started in enchantment and got my preferred outfit completed after 6ish months iirc 
still hasn't gotten my most wanted cape after a year of playing 
The enchantment struggle..
which cape?
Like I said eventually people will be able to get what they want using money or candles ,, yeah it is about sky but sky is also about real people and to be honest it’s more than a game to me it’s about relationships with real people and I care about my friends in sky -what I said is not dismissive one bit actually , I just state a fact that it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get ts and that it’s not healthy to put too much into caring about it too much ... so yeah we are human and game or no game -I have the right to share my feelings and concerns with a community and game I care about .
I was lucky to play when yoga came, but I missed crab call as a moth 
I joined SKY when there were 28 days left in the rhyme season. I did CR every day and bought some candles, but I still didn't get the ult haircut reward.
the reason i think the fur cape hasn’t been released yet is because that spirit offered a mask and a cape, with the current ts system in live i think it would seem like tgc are asking for too much currency for one ts, maybe this new system is a way to resolve that? i guess it’s still being ironed out
I think it's nice to have the tses there.
In a way where people have to put effort and/or money in much like the people in the seasons themselves.
Oh i want the fur cape for a cozy outfit 
tbh there’s a sneaky part of be that only wears it because it’s unobtainable atm 
I want the mask too but I dont know what to call it, is it a crow?? A really stylized snake?? what is it
garuda
wiki calls it crow, and the name garuda also is fit for that mask 
gratitude generally doesn't have much to offer compared to later seasons, i don't think that's it exactly
I love the fox mask sm tho..
dragon mask is cool too
May I know the date of update for season of dream in beta?
... we don't know the name of the season yet. ^^" and. Well. There won't be an update until after the invite waves.
We don’t know when the new season will begin in beta yet
i think the level of detail in the gratitude items has not been matched yet with any other season, all items from gratitude seemed to have to same level of detail
We dont have any current info besides the teaser image, sorry! 
I really like all of the seasonal cosmetics with the exception of a few, but enchantment is my personal favorite
they fit with the completed ark perfectly
That's hacked content. If you see them again please report them through in game immediately 
i heard some people are disappointed over the upcoming season's cosmetics, some said they bear resemblance to other past season cosmetics and lacks originality. im sitting here trying to figure out where's the similarities

yeaah, been doing that 
whoa not me, I’m already in love with them 
usually I’m hyped with anything new actually 
These new cosmetics give gratitude vibes in the best way possible.
The only similarity I found was the snowy theme. Just like rhythm
That's it, that's the similarity
I originally planned to buy the fox star
, but unfortunately it was not relisted in the TGC store. Let's wait for the next round of ts.
Every season seems to have a unique vibe to them and with the seasonal area format it amplifies that even more, though this season teaser does give belonging/rhythm/gratitude vibes with something completely different 
i was browsing through twitter and happens to read the conversation. for me, the season looks great already except the shape of ladybug (?) spirit bear a tiny bit of resemblance to the juggler spirit's cape
but that's just all
touché, but also the player base growing larger later on, as well as the items becoming scarce contributes to its popularity not until rhythm came by everyone wants OWL
the ts will arrive after every 3 days ?

wait what
no, we don't know that yet
The TS at beta is a bug or something?
but i brought everything from ts
I dont cr in beta so I can only afford everything up to the hat
finally some use of 600+ candles
i cr live and beta
i don't think so, since it includes the new system. i'd wait for a word from the devs first before putting my tinfoil hat on
maybe tgc picked provoking performer as a test because not many are interested to get the cosmetics offered, and i didn't buy anything from it as well (broke beta kid). too bad i can't login beta due to the access wipe, or else i could've analyze the ts costs 
Most of the ts is free, only 78 this time iirc
i make so many mistakes, can this slowmode to edit go away 
I get confused... I need #beta-announcements 
Hello I am new
Hello! This is the beta chat and there tends to be tons of spoilers here, I suggest you move to #general-sky-discussion 
Man I do hope the new season's cosmetics has a similar aesthetic to Gratitude! Those masks don't get a lot of love and I think the "Tengu" mask will look lovely!
Tengu mask? 
maybe they're referring to the garuda mask
the only thing i love about the weasel masks are the wiggle physics on the ears, i wish more masks had that
Masks with cool wiggle physics 
They wiggle??

yeah, it's so cute, too bad something bugs me about the mask overall but i can't place it
Ah wait, we alr got new TS?
Coz i forgot to update b4 access wipe and now it didn't let me in xD
Why did i uninstall beta 😂
good question, why?
Yes, as seen in #beta-screenshots-videos
same and i am trying to understand why he allowed me to get the cosmetics i didn’t buy it 😭
wiggle physics on the demon mask horns/teeth anyone? /j
i wouldn't mind
If the weird sideburn spikes on dragon mask could wiggle that would be cool 
the end of witch hat wiggles as well 
when will the invites be available?
The end of wizard hat bounces iirc 
There is no predetermined time for invites
ohh okie thanks @lusty light
i'm sure they do already...?
Oh they do?
Guys, guys, guys, i know when invites are gonna come
What would be the drawback of ts prices to be one to one to seasonal candles. Players who dont buy ap already waited more than 1 season for a ts and more than 2-3 seasons for others ts from the same season. I think for those who pay for ap it is worth of getting cosmetics 1-4 seasons early? So giving prices 1 to 1 seems pretty reasonable?
I often wear the wizard hat with dragon mask so I probably dont see it 
When?
After some thought and contemplation over the situation, i have determined when u can expect invites to come out, and it’s... wait for another cooldown timer

Invites are gonna come out sometime AFTER this message has been posted, i hope this has been enlightening for us all
As if...
Aight this is a no for me
You see, I’m a truth speaker, my prediction is already coming to fruition
e......
Why are we having ts

Its a test for the new implementation tops
Icicic hopefully it won't make it to live
They really want cosmetics to be locked behind a paywall 
But this is still beta so 
My beta candles are crying, it's stopping me
I mean tbh, when they introduced to beta it got such backlash from the testing community to the point where they probably won’t put it into live, also introducing for real kinda kills the purpose of the travelling spirits in the first place
Yes this is why I dont like the new implementation, its not the purpose of the ts
ao
the purpose of TS was to give new players a chance at older items . older players who couldn't afford AP at the time getting it "free" was jjust a bonus I think. but this is also still in the early stages and probably will change before it hits live. Just remember in your feedback to be constructive not mean. There are actual humans having to read your feedback.
I always figured the TS was for people who don't have money but are willing to put in the time, and wait months to collect a whole seasons cosmetics

Thanks kai, just completely wondering why they've had to put ts bc it'll bug the second time around like the gratitude fur cape guy
ah yeah all teh TS are kinda buggy in game right now with them appearing greyed out and uncollectable when you get close to where their memory should be (specifically the carryball spirits). It's probably something they are working on fixing but idk how high priority it is with switch release and a new season and beta invite waves coming up.
Ah, I'm scared of new beta moffs. It'll be one hell of a season
I have like 190 candles ready to collect beta moths on day one 
All I can say is good luck to this game when/if this exact implementation hits live 
Never expect things being tested in beta to go live
I'm expecting more bugs
shepherd system and translator both been in beta since before I joined and aren't live
could happen, could not.
Should've used bold on if
Im waste all my converter candle on umbrella, luckly umbrella ts don't need any heart to unlock, coz I don't have anymore heart on beta, andd im so happy 
!whenisnextbetaupdate
Honestly, it's been a few season since we last had a friendship emote tier. What do you think?
I'm hoping for more friend emotes 
what about a mini-game emote like hide'n'seek? i wonder if its possible
Friendship emote tier tree too is kinda messy. Guess they're working on it? Arguably yes
I absolutely want more mini game emotes
give me more things to do with my friends
though I am definitely amused at the fact this is Kabuki III: [insert a good subtitle]
Kabuki III: The Rerun
It's been a while since I joined beta gen chat lol
Kabuki III: Resurrection
Slowmode is real pain circa rhythm '18
yooooooooooooooooooo
I wonder if were going to have more friendship emotes or minigame ones
“The next TS is...”
at the TS announcement event where all the spirits are there
but the seasonal ones sit on special tables
“...KABUKI!”
everyone complains
“It’s his THIRD TIME”
throwback to when weasel returned with balanced prices or when garuda accidentally came from a bug
Kabuki is visibly weary even with the mask on
buries face into hands
I’ve had this vision about the spirit TS announcement meetings for ages - might and probably will draw it
I want to see
Henlo~
Dismiss visibly dies inside, despite being a spirit
man all you Beta people with The Mask are going to overwhelm me because I love it so much
I have accepted I won’t be wearing it in Beta but
why do I envision lots of you wearing it walking around my cowering curled-up body T-posing
I just check my Beta aand there are ts. And im broke. Only able to get 4 heart from constelation. 
And cost 70 for hat. Whelp wahaha
The Mask™️ makes it sound so imposing 

I call it that as it is The mask
The mask that I love so deeply
(the Anubis/jackal/‘Prophecy mask’ (according to the #news))
What are you doing?
it is just
WOW
I’m going off on a tangent but it is relevant
what?
it is so beautiful I just
What's beautiful?
The Ultimate Gift mask for Prophecy
I’ve loved it ever since I first saw it
I’m sure it’ll be fine! ..... Right?
OMG
it is
gorgeous
people wearing it in Beta will intimidate me
What's the bot mean?
bot is random
Is the qualification starting tomorrow?
We don’t know.
The bot responds to 50% of mentions of the word, prophecy. It comes in like; "DID SOMEONE SAY PROPECHY????". Also, I got Anubis mask the day before yesterday and it is indeed beautiful.
Would be better if it's a human mask, I don't want to be a dog
Got it on Wednesday, and absolutely in love
well I’ve always been in love with it, it multiplied
Prophecy mask is the modern deer mask its a jackal mio
Hmm
Now I’m just imagining a Skykid with a human nose
Vol if it makes you feel better I wear only my weasel mask in beta
I'm too attached to it

Same thing, what if you don't want to be an animal and prefer being at least human if you are reborn
I usually wear dragon mask in live but theres the rare occasion I dont 
You could always ask for it in the wishlist ^^
good
lighting anyone up even now wearing it makes me stammer in real life
just a little “GHA!”
and I always make myself faint
always
I open the menu and just
collapse
I have come to love and cherish this TS' mask, even though I never liked it when it was in the season.
I rarely come across anyone wearing bull mask though 
Which one is the bull mask?
if I get into it, if you wear the mask in Beta, and light someone up who faints and/or spams the shy emote with an obvious lack of kiss-blowing
that’ll be me most likely
The bull/dragon mask is from gratitude, with the mouth open
what will I do before I have faint though
Use sit emote and lie down dead on the floor?
yes
That even better than faint
all I can envision is someone posting a picture of some semi-moth lying flat on the ground while they have The Mask on and saying “found Voluntary”
Oh, Shira's mask! (Hm, I swear I've seen an emoji with it.) I like wearing the crab mask now, because it's so unusual.
I might wear anubis mask this testing round to see if I can find you in game
I really really hope I get in as I want to help out
I can't wait for the beta invites, I love helping a game grow, plus, i'm a bug magnet lol, i've found many oob in-game by accident.
I keep on falling through the floor in the transition to prairie cave 
I can just imagine
you can ping me and ask ‘is this you’ and it will probably be
unless anyone does impressions of me
Flashforward to me lighting up various moths
I wanna be on the lookout for anyone with the allusive 11th star 👁️
It might be hard to spot under hair/back cosmetics.
the Voluntary detector
state-of-the-art technology
just wear this mask

I'm so excited for the beta invites that i've already downloaded testflight~
The new TS in beta , is the one who coming next week in live ?
Beta and live are not related
WRONG CHAT—
sorry
Like seriously? Ts in beta?
Beta used to not have any traveling spirits at all, but were added because the players wanted them
Seraph, I just noticed your icon
I know where that’s from
The devs will do whatever they want in beta for testing
Explain new ts system to me pls
Well it’s a pretty popular game
I hope they don't implement the new TS system 🥺
yes👍
@spark lance yeah I agree 🥺
...I’m going to miss Salmon Run
Wdym by new ts system did i miss sthing or am dumb-
Everyone's sayin it so am sayin it ... Its like ... You need current season's pass to buy certain stuff in the TS
Isnt it tested before in Beta?
Prices have been adjusted
Still no wave?
It’s 6:45 am on a Monday
Did anyone post the complete tree with new prices for this TS? I can only see partial ones and I already own it in beta, so everything is collected.
Be patient when TGC is ready the wave will come
👀
I keep on forgetting that my state doesnt use daylight savings and get confused 
We gotta be patient, TGC has been working hard and we just need to wait for them to be ready~
Blessings are 5, hat is 70, heart is 3 and everything else free iirc
I have no idea ifwhen I’ll get in Beta and I’m anxious about seeing the mask
The Anubis mask? You know the season has ended in beta right
Interesting! Free with an AP, I presume? But basically, the top cosmetic (mask, in this case) is blocked behind a secondary one (the hat) for regular candles?
Yep
Hat 70 😭 😭
I don’t understand the complaint about needing to get one cosmetic before unlocking the other cosmetic because that’s how it’s always worked
Umm hello there is something happen in beta j don't if it bug but a ts has come after the umbrella one 3 days between 🤷♂️
Seeing it amazes me every time is the thing
I know that it’s ended in Beta and I accept that, but seeing it out of nowhere amazes me every single time
It’s not a bug, unexpected things happen in beta all the time for testing
I'm just mildly bothered by it since I usually have choice of what I get from ts, I'll get used to it
Hope the invite comes this week🙌
I think it’s to do with the fact that single cosmetic is so inflated as compared to other versions.
I can see how some might find it inconvenient, since the TS has previously offered a choice between two-three items either for regular candles or hearts. With this new system it is however closer to what they looked like in the season, as you say.
You’ve always needed to unlock one item before getting access to another, you don’t have less choice you just wanted the items more
Otoh, with this new system the total needed candle amount would be a lot less, wouldn't it?
Do the emote upgrades still cost hearts?
I still don’t like the idea of having to buy the current pass to get past seasonal items, esp if you already experienced the season before
You have to pay twice in a way
Hi
Hi
No, I could upgrade to level 4 because I "owned" the AP (Prophecy symbol visible). There was no cost involved.
i have seen your future, @hollow compass, and... well, i won't spoil the surprise 
I feel it only creates inequality.
你们好啊
Did level 3 cost hearts?
This server is English only
Level 3 did cost hearts I think
不要说中文,这里是英语联通
Please speak in English, it is the #rules
ok
am I the only one who actually likes the Kabuki hat
3 heart foe lv3 emote
I told him to speak English, didn't it affect him。
I don't know, everything else but the hat and level 4 were unlocked for me already.
i thought everyone likes kabuki 
Come here for the first time.👀
I was really really excited when that was revealed as the TS, it’s my favourite hat from Gratitude (Grat-hat?)
Which one
I understand you are trying to help, but we just can’t allow other languages in any circumstances
Has the holiday time passed?
Okay👌
I don't know how to speak English yet, but thank you!
It’s 7 am in California, and even though their holiday break is over doesn’t mean invites are coming today
Yep
Please don’t be upset if invites don’t come today, the invites will come out when tgc is ready
Once this slow mode goes up ten mins that’s when to panic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's hard to give feedback on this. I feel my opinion will mostly be theoretical, since I already had most items unlocked and couldn't really see for myself what the new tree looked like.
While it’s already 11pm in China, probably i should go to sleep
wow,To find you.
I’m in the uk last time I think the first was around 6 pm my time but it changes each time but the sends them over a few days and different time zones
Hey speaking of beta invites I didn’t miss them or anything right? They’re like in the upcoming days or something no?
I am a bug magnet, so I feel like if I were to beta test, I could probably find at least some bugs, plus, bug hunting could be something I can do when I wanna play sky but have nothing to actually do in sky. My new phone plays sky at such a high quality so I will take any excuse to play more 
Morning! Hmm... I dont exactly like having the mask locked behind the hat, since we used to be able to choose if we wanted one or the other, but that doesn't quite work with this system. I don't see any way to merge the two systems. 
Haha hopefully I can catch up a invite wave in my time zone
Happy
Well young folk who have never been in the beta, a word from me would be: do not treat the Beta as a replacement for sky. Treat your main account first, because the Beta can be absolutely absorbing when you try to attract bugs.
Mwah
What exactly was locked behind the AP in this TS tree? Was it possible to progress up to the hat with regular candles/hearts?
I think so, it went the lvl one emote, a blessing, ac lock, then lvl 3 which was 3 hearts
I’m ready to bug hunt again 😎
I found that the engraved ancestors of bugs in beta appeared, and I hope that the next version of fixing is better (why optimization is preferred?)

What is this sneep you're talking about? I've never heard about it! 

You're funny.
🛌 
what's with all the reactions
Wait they reacted to their own post- 
Don't you sleep?
I hope my beta invite PING will be as loud as my alarm clock!🤣
Put ur alarm sound as krills
I was actually just sleeping, I had a good night's rest - and as you can see, nothing happened! Now I'm refreshed and ready for a new day, if invites come 
(Don't expect them though, seriously, waiting for them every day is way more stress than you need on your mind)
Staying up late is a nightmare.

really?
No,
there are no predetermined times for invite waves
Not necessarily random but not set either
Oh no, I hate randomness, as you can see
It isn’t random because it needs to accommodated to different timezones, not set because we don’t know when they go out 😊
It is random because it’s when ktjn has time to do it in between her other work obligations
will they release beta qualification today?
We don’t know
Not today I think as many people said earlier, but perhaps tomorrow
TOMORROW mybe
maybe
Well if not tomorrow then we hope for tomorrow after tomorrow. Simple-
Guys is still 7.40am in CA. Ktjn may still sneeping. And it's a cold start day for studio.. let's be patient
MAYBE
In vietnam , 22:45pm . I need go to sleep because tomorow i will go to school
there will be multiple invites across different time zones. if you don't make the first one please don't stress about it 
Finally my homework 😪😪😪😪

I want go to sleep😪 but i can't
Good night!🤣


Good night
So , goodnight all
Last time I get into beta purely base on my luck...
I don't think I can make it this time


Everyone gets into beta based on luck
Whoah what’s with the new ts tree
so are the AP items free with the pass now ?
And some speed?
Especially when the testflight invite website is in chinese or russian and you speak none of those
so u try to tap everywhere on the screen to see whats working
1551
希望资格快点发
English(I'mma pm him)
This server is English only
He can't wait to be the tester of the new season
may be 2 ?
why still don't have
Maybe soon
We don't know when invite will hit
Wait a moment
no further announcement about invite waves aside from what we have been told about has been made yet
Looking forward to the coming of new season
Even when invites come it'll be a while til the new season hits beta
It’s very early morning in California right after a holiday break
The test suit qualification will be issued early this morning?
no, seraph was just saying that it is currently very early for the developers
Please read #beta-signup-info and the pins in this channel. We don’t know when the invites are coming out and we will never know ahead of time
They will be here when tgc is ready to release it
iirc it’s 8 hours behind England and therefore 6am
8 am I think
It’s 8 am in California
Waiting.........
It's time to sneep (for me)
wow that's early in here, time to sneep snorp
guess I have to give up the first invites
I guess invite waves > ts changes again haha everyone’s back to talking about the invite waves
I'm waiting for the moment when we only can answer with emojis because of a potential long slowmode
I'm ready
we don't even know if invites will happen today

Not sleeping.
But stalling on the invite waves worked.. I imagine this time they’ll fill up much lesss quicker
This is very unhealthy behavior. When the invites don’t release as soon as you think they will what will you do?
wait another 2 hours
And when the invites don’t come out in another 2 hours? 🤔
just make sure your pings are push notifs outside of discord and inside of discord and that its not suppressed and you’ll be fine, sleep is more important
im running off of 5 or less hours but thats because i woke up early due to stomach issues 
Wait 2 more 
And then when you’re so tired from staying up you fall asleep and miss the invites
Just go to work, don't worry
i've said before that i physically wince when i see people staying up late on ungodly hours just for the invites, but soon as they slept the invites came
hello y'all! just checking the slowmode. reminder to not camp the invite channels and go take care of yourselves and go do work/get education. 
Beta is REALLY not this important for all of you to be compromising your health. The season preorders start next month. You’re not going to miss anything
I just wanna gently remind yall what ktjn has said in #beta-signup-info , camping is very unhealthy!
If you're that desperate then just wait until the first invite wave happens, wait a few hours after that, then make sure you have the ping role and keep an eye on your phone to catch the second wave
stay healthy! 
i camped for sanc beta invites but thats because it came at 12am for me and i luckily got lots of sleep
and you don’t have to get the very first invite, multiple will come over the course of a couple days for different timezones, you could be on discord and talking here the second it comes, and it’s the 2nd or 3rd invite
And even if you just don’t get into beta at all. It’s really not that big of a deal
Most people stop playing beta after a week or so anyway
Beta is just buggy and unfinished, so many people come into this thinking it’s early access and get frustrated when they encounter bugs with currency and don’t get any compensation and just stop playing
Sleep and mental health are more important than beta

After they get the preview, they'll stop after a week or so. Motive to join beta is very much questionable. That's why bugs can't be rectified properly. 🤷🏻♀️
me who rarely encounters bugs in beta but a few in live 
There's no need to join beta if you don't want to do bug hunting. #beta-announcements will tell you all
Being active is the most important part of being a beta tester, even if you don’t send in feedback or bug reports the analytics collected while you play is very important for the developers. But people don’t even update their beta regularly
I wonder what is the number of crashes all together we went through in Prophecy
ppl dont even update their beta regularly 𝐬𝐚𝐝:(((:pCry: 
Hi, is beta invites coming out today or tomorrow?
We don’t know
You can see #beta-bugs-android how many tester forget to update their build
ahhhha i see
lots of testers don't read the faq, seeing how many people report the empty shop and free iap 
That was a really short period where you could update tho. Usually we have a few days. Besides they tried. So you can count them as actives, if they weren't we wouldn't see those bug reports
im that person who has a 40/100 chance of reading the entire TOS and a majority of that 40% is beta faq and stuff for cookie run 
Helloo IIf u dont mind can u vote what I should do this night for me? I'm in a dilemma
I need to study for a test and prepare a group project (and look out for an invite during that time👀) but I'm tired... I may be able to stay up for 1~1.5 hrs if I try though
What should I do?
A. Study for the test u need da grades (indefinite amount of time)
B. Prepare your group project (approx 1hr) 
C. SLEEP and somehow cram it tomorrow 
Can u vote using the emojis in the options?
Btw its 1:42 am here
Sorry if this is inappropriate to post
Reading the beta faq is also the way to get notified about beta invites so if people aren’t reading it they’re sabotaging themselves
If getting into beta it’s meant to be it will be , just remember to do beta for the right reasons ,which I believe they are to make sky a much better experience for those in live including yourself ... if you do beta for the wrong reasons then nothing good really comes of it . You will spoil the experience in live for yourself and pretty much waste time doing something you can’t keep ....
you will know if it’s for you when you leave beta caring about the game way more than you thought you ever could and appreciating the hard work it actually really is and how important it is to let people who really want to genuinely test bugs get the test slots 🤍🕊🤍
Goodnight everyone 😘
Good night
Okay I'm out. Please I don't want to see a 10min slowmode by tommorow I wake up. Keep the hype down and be patient tho
yea, beta is FULL of bugs and glitches, because it is a TESTING server. if you only are trying to get on beta because you want the season before it is released, you will probably be disappointed. At that point, it'll just make more sense to wait for live. if you aren't prepared to experience gameplay glitches and bugs, please don't camp/make a beta invite your priority 
Ok I'll finish up and go to sleep! Ty everyone goodnight💙
dw it won't be 10 minutes I'm sure it will be 15 :v
Oh, oh, what time does the qualifying start?
I will admit that I had to stop playing beta after a few weeks, but only because I suddenly became very busy with schoolwork
I did have fun bug hunting before I became super busy, though! If I can find a way to make sure I won't get swamped with work again I'll definitely try and catch the next wave. (If not, I'll take a step back to let someone who can spend more time on beta take my place
)
(also we dont know when the invite waves start!)
What happen ?
To those not sleeping, as everyone up there said, beta is not something that is worth trivializing your health over. During generation Prophecy (it's what I call it) TGC sent out multiple invite waves that caters to all timezones over the span of two days. They'll likely do it for this too. But we don't know for sure. I find it very likely to do it with this one. So just sleep. It'll make you happy, it'll make us happy, it'll make TGC happy, it'll make the elders happy, just go sleep. Invite waves will come when they come. 
bruh hang on, this isn't what the prophecy foretold!!
Oh no... SkyBot, what did the prophecy foretell...? 
Skybot but not bot lololol
Let me guess... People not sneep snorping, is it!? 
Don't disappoint SkyBot! Go sneep! 


still waiting
chat might be quiet, but please don't start spamming emotes here 
it's ok for the chat to not say anything for a bit
Take care of your body
dont forget to drink water

drinks H20
Is your Thanksgiving over foreign friends?
Yes but this does not mean invites are coming today
I guess the staff will also need to prepare for a while.
I have been too busy these days to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. It's a little late
Hi everyone :) I wonder what the next season will have in store for us? Hopefully I'll be able to get in beta again and find out
But for now, I guess we will have to be patient 
Hi! Dabai! I know your Weibo
Are you Mi feifei?
But I have a question about whether the administrator will be qualified today. Or if there's any recent news of the animal. Thank you for your

@limpid idol Light encounter blogger before in Douyin now check into weibo
good night 😂😂😂😂
This channel is set up for people to discuss sky beta! If you want to discuss other stuff, dms or other severs/platforms will be better for it 
good night 
@sinful steppe OK, I'll search it
:0
@hearty pelican I use WeiBo ennnn ...Twitter😋
Will the qualification begin tomorrow? ? It's all so lively.
we don't know when invites come out. 
i had sky then deleted it then redownloaded and now i need to start again
whats ur id # lol
Hope so
👀
Qualification is about when to have?
this slow mode-
If you talk about other things, please go to other places
@rustic imp We're also talking about beta versions. I hope you can join us. Thank you
It's all Chinese. Can you allow language freedom for a while?
We cannot allow the rules to be broken at any point
we don't know when the invites come out. there isn't a pattern of when they come out either, so best to just get the ping role and wait.
Does anyone know when to issue the qualification?
No one knows
This space is English as moderators and the TGC staff that help the server are English speakers mainly. You are welcome to speak Chinese in other groups, just not here.
It's all Chinese. Can you allow language freedom for a while?
@pastel flower hahaha I think what you said is reasonable, but this is a foreign social software after all, we should follow this rule. I understand your mood at this moment
I heard it was today.
I see. I just asked and didn't say
It’s still early for TGC right now. But we don’t know when Exactly invites start.
Don't assume anything, unless you've heard it from TGC themselves. ^^'

Shall we go to the next channel?
I want to give feedback on one thing here. The badge I bought cannot use nfc function. At present, skyshop😩
So are they still resting?

currently it's around 9:30 in the morning for TGC
@rustic imp I would like to ask whether TGC can establish a channel for Chinese people to chat together. I would be very grateful if you could. After all, Chinese people also like guangyu or Guangyu test service very much. I think it is because of my love and worship for Mr. Chen that I come to this channel
Badges can't be used? Is it not supported by your mobile phone👀
it's only 9:30 am there, so it's still pretty early.
TGC employees may be preparing to start work.
@sinful steppe we understand the want for support for other languages here, but it’s just not something the developers can do
Sky store hasn't given a solution yet. I want to know.
@pastel flower Maybe try and ask in another channel?
@lusty light I know 😆😆
Whenever reset happens, please be nice to Ktjn, the mods and shepherds and your fellow skykids.
I can still log in to the game at present
Last time there were so many uncomfortable comments about Ktjn's sleep schedule... >>"
Will THE TGC start tomorrow?
Which channel do you usually ask such questions on? I don't know.
All we can do is wait
we don't know when invites come out.
a good place to ask questions would be #questions-and-help
No one can tell this
Try question and help
it still be able to access the latest build until the next update
Are u guys gonna camping all the night for invites?
Idk, can’t fall asleep
@pastel flower #android-questions might help too if you're in android 
everyone should sleep early, attention to health 🥰
Hhh I saw so many Chinese name here, it’s midnight then
Yea i can't too cuz of coffee
Go sleep,
you are just harming yourself by “camping”, your health matters
I mean seriously
1:43am, lol
Perhaps they are all waiting for the qualification to be issued
Beta is not more important than your health

you guys shouldn't stay up so late, go get sleep. there will most likely be an invite wave in a convenient time for you guys. 

You mean today? Since it's 9:43 AM in California. That doesn't mean invites are coming today, though.
02:45am,don't know what am I doing
No one will know when the official release will begin
So please don't squat here
Go to sleep
definitely a hypocrite for saying this because I get scolded for being on sky when I'm not feeling good but please get enough sleep and food and take care of your real life responsibilities. there will be multiple invite waves and they're not even guaranteed to come today so staying up camping here might not even yield results. your life is waaaay more important than beta and live sky will always be there even if you don't make it in 
@lusty light I know the staff already said I was just making a comment thank you
so...what do u guys think about the ts system?
Go to bed, everyone. Good night
Good night
okay I will go sleep and hope for luck oor destiny

Good night

Good night
👀
@sinful steppe hi there I’m waiting for ur invitation for vx group
I'll be honest: I don't have a strong opinion on the TS system. on live I have almost every cosmetic in the game anyways because I started in January before the TS did and only skipped a couple cosmetics. The only TS I'm missing in general is dismiss. so no matter what gets implemented it won't actualyl affect me in any way
i don't really like the ts system. i'm a broke skykid and can't afford iaps. but i don't mind if it changes that much. i don't really care for the cosmetics that much. sure i would like to have some, but i don't have a need for them. 
I see, tbh I just don’t like the fact that they said that it was a way to reduce the stress of candle run but the item (in this case the hat) cost 70 candles and u have to have in order to get the mask which it’s the most appealing in this ts in my opinion...like I need to get one in order to get the other which I don’t like
How to exchange cosmetics if it is not the season?
I think it's good, originally 108 candles, but now only 78 candles
if its from a seasonal spirit you cant until it comes as a TS
TS system is fine though some players might have to pay twice for an item.
For example someone who owns the Rhythm pass but somehow couldn’t complete the full constellation
Then when Rhythm spirits comeback as TS they’ll - in a way pay twice for an item.
The TS change is very good for newer players into the game I think.

I dont mind the pass lock, even though I cant buy adventure passes, but I don't like how an item is locked behind another. I know its exactly like it is during seasons, but I'd prefer having the choice to get one or the other
Sure it’s less expensive but again it’s taking the option to skip an item that u don’t want...so it’s feel like imposing to buy an item that u don’t really like with candles that u can use for other things
I do think it's a good way to give some newer players emotes they wouldn't have otherwise. It seems like it's a little tedious for veteran players and also people who have no energy to candle run though (me lol)
I'm sleepy
With this ts tree the reason that you don't have to buy it if you don't want to is not valid anymore. If you want the AP locked item you have to buy even what you don't like. 
I think at the end of the day their intent is to get people to use participate in the seasons and get the items then... but some people started after the season was already done >< at that point there’s nothing to do except pay steep candle prices
啥时候出呀
@surreal quarry please speak in English, it is the only language we can support
Also, even if they participated in the season, if they were a free player their problem still isn't solved
In China, it's two o'clock in the evening!I really want to sleep!!!😭
Please sleep then
Go to sleep then
If you're sleepy then please go sleep!
The possibility of beta invites is not a valid excuse to stay up
Yup
Ktjn said most people spend money for traveling spirits, not farming for candles
meto
It is not allowed to post links to other discord servers here
He is asking when to release the qualification
I think most people will buy the pass, now TS, you can save half the candles than before.
We don’t know when it will be released.
They want to adjust the prices to be more fair for everyone who spends 20+ dollars every 2 weeks
I love every haircut of the season of prophecy. Very impressive😋
Keep waiting
Please protect your health, health first
When will the test suit be qualified?
We don’t know
Please stay safe and your health its first
I think the branch could use a candle or a quarter card,If you don't have a season card, buy more candles.
Okay, I decide to sleep
ngl I spent money on candle packs to upgrade and add friends
idk if my purchases somehow get seen as TS purchases tho. ah ok thanks Sera! ye I def spend a lot of candles on friends in game 
a friend of mine is buying us passes and I'm super exited XD it's the first time I've ever been able to get a pass
They can see what you spend your candles on

Chinese compatriots can add me oh
so the last time if you wanted only the mask of the ts you needed 52 candles, 2 ac and 3 hearts, now if you want the mask in the present system you need to spend 75 candles, the ap, 2 ac and how much for the emote? this is kinda worst if they are gonna block the most wanted item from the ts behind AP
ok.fine
You can wait, rest, or wait for the second wave
Too sleepy, go to bed. Good night
That’s how it was during the season though
What time is it now?
Im waiting for the invites so i can update the game 
We have multiple chances
wjsjwh I just woke up and it's 2:14 AM ill probably wait for beta invites
what time is it in Canada ?
Guys in beta TRAVELING SPIRIT HOW??
the devs are in california :V
bruh kids are screaming here in the midnight how am i supposed to sleep it sounds like aliens
Tgc is in California, not Canada. It’s 10:15 am
ajsjj I'm not that tired but I'll try to get back to sleep!
THANKS LOL
The reply thing in discord it’s so weird now lol
Again, zero confirmation that invites will happen today. Even though the holiday is over, TGC is not obligated to begin anything until they feel they are 100% ready.
i cant sleep

Who told everyone invites are happening today 🥲
Thanx
yeah they are returning to how it was during the season after 10 months with a specific system wich is kinda weird, but my point was comparing this to the present live system cause this was also said to be good for people who missed the items and spent in candles packs when this is making it worst in that aspect for them
Depends on where you're refferring to
this bc everyone is going crazy rn
This is why Ktjn didn’t give a timeframe about beta wipes this time
I guess its the mindset of "okay, break's over. Time to get back to work, devs! 🤗 "
they saw that "this is a holiday weekend and invites definitely won't come during the weekend" and just assumed that means Monday after the holiday break invites would magically come
I'm willing to bet it'll be at least a few more days
But Ktjn even said that it’s gonna be out when it’s ready, no date 🥲

🥲 this emoji is the beta experience 
my bones hurt

Ugh I'm so tired😧
ww my shoulder just made a cRaCk sound
I thought it was a server specific emote lol 🥲
I CANT SLEEP BECAUSE KIDS ARE SCREAMING OUTSIDE AND ITS MIDNIGHT
Kids as in sky?...beta...for invites?
Guess I'll stop camping I'm tired already 
Reminder that this is beta discussion, not general chat
Also please don't camp!!! It's unhealthy

bed! Give me a bed!
Hopefully, when I wake up, an invitation has arrived
yall please it’ll be ok, therell be multiple waves whenever they come please dont stay glued to the screen!
Also a reminder to be kind to the mods and ktjn when theyre around 
It's 2:24 a.m. Beijing time. I'm not an all-nighter, I'm a time reader
Yes! I'll be sleeping and stop camping lmao, I should take care of myself 
Guys i cant sleep 
@viscid umbra violence will not be tolerated here, regardless if you mean it as a joke. please refrain from making such comments
those who are sleepy should go to bed the invites may even be in a week or longer so there is no point staying up for it
Thinking that the wave might come, I can't sleep
We literally just said that they aren’t coming today
@radiant drum im to lazy anyways 
We all thought there would be an invitation code today
It's important to sleep, more important than getting a beta invite. Please get some rest :D
Get some sleep, everyone! Please come back in December 
insomnia
Pls guys don't camp for beta!, your mental health is first pls sleep and drink some water
Go to bed on time, to be a lovely baby 👶. Tomorrow morning, don't be late.
How can i sleep
i need tips
