beta-discussion

[spark lance]

Excuse me, does anyone know what is inbox？

[radiant drum]

If you’re experiencing server issues, just wait. You’re not missing out on anything for not logging in at this second, head to #beta-screenshots-videos to read while you wait

[pulsar swallow]

I don't get why it's so exciting. we get the messages here and on their website page.....unless the things the inbox CANNOT do yet will be ENABLED in the future

[vast basin]

Its like messages!, check the settings!

[crude turret]

so it'll be like our #news channel but in game?

[neat stream]

Me seeing the inbox: “OUUU ✨”

[sturdy hazel]

HAHA I WAS RIGHT
still pretty neat though, and I can see how it'll be useful

[knotty drum]

some people don't have discord esp new players so inbox is a good way to get updates etc. imo

[stark cloud]

I saw the Inbox..but no message

[worldly jolt]

I got the message! Looking at the potentially future update to it looks super cool. (Giving items away!? Does that mean what I think it means?! )

[lusty light]

Not everyone knows about their website or social media pages, having this inbox is a way to make sure every single player will see an update

[rustic imp]

I'm glad the inbox is being used now. This means people won't have to follow TGC social media outside the game to get important info about the game!

[buoyant wasp]

love the inbox little smooth animations tho

[atomic root]

Maybe you have to restart the game

[low kindle]

uuuhh that looks COOL

[wary roost]

i guess it’s for broadcasting from tgc, not a portal for players to communicate each other

[grizzled kayak]

If your beta app is up to date, try force closing it and opening it again. It worked for me

[south oyster]

I wonder if we’re gonna get updates from tgc themselves like in other games with inbox’s

[elfin raft]

Wait we can gift items in the future? Like cosmetics? :0

[vast basin]

I wanted this uptade since forever!

[steel mesa]

no exchanging messages between players.. yet

[half plaza]

i see the inbox message now, thank you

[late mountain]

Yay I can see the message now. Restarting the second time worked.

It’s so cute and tiny with the menu screen still thinking it’s a phone screen size on iPad

[drifting eagle]

so it’s just a news feed?

[austere merlin]

We don’t know what it is yet

[slim kayak]

that 'yet' part is exciting! can't wait to see what the inbox will let us do in the future!

[lusty light]

We do know! There’s a message telling you what it is

[tropic radish]

I am thinking about the third bullet

• deliver attachments such as items and currencies
  Wonder how that will work ^^)

[grizzled kayak]

It’s just a direct line of communication from TGC to the individual player according to the mail

[blazing sail]

Is there supposed to be a message in the inbox?

[crude turret]

yes, once I heard a dev saying how we have like millions (was it) of players but we only have 220k in here so it's such a nice feature if it'll be used to provide news!
still I wish we could send messages to friends since timezones and all. it could be a new friendship node

[lusty light]

For now it’s just messages from tgc

[spark lance]

OK, thx mate, Ill try to fine it

[peak token]

tgc love us

so they send out a love letter for us

[orchid yacht]

that would be useful, but localized messages might take time

[white latch]

Wait so it (inbox) can deliver the new update for the game?

[random gull]

i think its pretty neat though. it means that people wo arent connected to the social media can still get updates!

[alpine field]

Lots of screenshots in the #beta-screenshots-videos channel showing the message if you can’t see it in your game

[crude turret]

and boy, do we love TGC back

[low kindle]

i wanted to know about translation tool

[spark lance]

i opened the inbox and it says no messages?

[finite meteor]

skidorddles and goes into abyss
gets message
""stop going into the abyss ur gonna kill ur skykid smh." --tgc"

[steel mesa]

friendship ended with discord news, now sky inbox is my best friend

[rustic imp]

try restarting! many people are seeing it after restarting a couple times

[stray elk]

||Goes to eden, "Welcome to hell"||

[vast basin]

Ill be posting it in #beta-screenshots-videos!

[spark lance]

EYO WE CAN SEND MESSAGES NOW?
lol i’ll just go check what it is adios

[limpid crown]

...so I don't know if anyone noticed but there are 2 cakes in trial of water...

[blazing sail]

Oh rebooting worked

[peak token]

oh so you love tgc? name everything what the letter says

[radiant drum]

Please read the inbox message before discussing here or asking questions

[vapid briar]

There is a message in the Inbox ready for every beta tester to see.

If you cannot see the Inbox button in the Utility Menu restart your game.

If you can see the Inbox button, but the Inbox is empty, please let me know.

[rustic imp]

please restart to see the message TGC sent

[alpine field]

iT’s mEme TiMe

[verbal jacinth]

The Gaming Crumbs

[vapid briar]

Please read #beta-announcements It's a very short message.

[crude turret]

does the inbox have a red dot too? i can't log in now
i see, that's nice

[blazing sail]

The cursed red dot has its own emoji now?

[slim kayak]

it did have a red dot

[radiant drum]

And please read the inbox message, while not that short it’s got all you need to know

[dire escarp]

Inbox is implemented?

[orchid yacht]

ah nice so is this going to replace the discord news?

[buoyant wasp]

both the inbox and the bell notification had the red dot for me

[radiant drum]

Dottie is life, Dottie is love

[grizzled kayak]

I don’t think replace, but it’ll allow players who don’t have discord to see the news

[stray elk]

How do you report a friend that isn't online, and report a friend without them knowing?

[low kindle]

btw, will translation tool ever be in live? i really needed hahahaha specially if in the future we'll be able to send inbox messages

[radiant drum]

You cannot @stray elk

[crude turret]

plot twist: it actually isn't for news, it's just for developers to spam the mail on how they love playing with krills and crabs

[sleek pelican]

I love that they are working on the inbox! Looking forward to be able to send messages to my friend

[orchid yacht]

Dottie is discord nitro-only :dottie:

[light depot]

Friends already don’t know i believe

[alpine field]

Sad

[stray elk]

Messages expire :( is there a way to archive them?

(Also I think I friended a hacker, but I never see them online)

[spark lance]

ouuu cute inbox

[acoustic stag]

How do I get the swing in Beta? It doesn't show up to me

[tribal grove]

Idk about it happening in live but gboard is a very handy tool for talking to people

[peak token]

w-what if we got a love letter from tgc? 👉 👈

||nah jk but just imagine it||

[radiant drum]

What do you mean?

[blazing sail]

The red dot is everywhere now 😰

[grizzled kayak]

Go to office to obtain it

[slim kayak]

it's been tested for about a year now, with little adjustments to it here and there. it'll probably come to live at some point, but until we get news on it, we won't know for sure

[atomic root]

You cannot find it in the office now lol

[tender knoll]

I think I will be seeing sky bot messages in inbox

[crude turret]

ahaha the name really is dottie, that's so cute

[stark cloud]

I thought Inbox only for message.. but can "deliver attachments such as items & currencies"

[radiant drum]

The message says it cannot do that at the moment

[vapid briar]

it cannot deliver attachments

[alpine field]

Gboard still isn’t accurate enough for me (translator rookie here), and tbh the translation app sky used is way more accurate so i’m looking forward to it

[acoustic stag]

Oh, sadly... Thanks anyway 💙

[radiant drum]

Please take a deep breathe and read it slowly 3 times

[stray elk]

Long ago, I friended someone who had the prophecy ultimates way before people could get them, I was thinking about blocking them, but didn't know how to secretly, because I don't want them to see me reporting them

[stark cloud]

Yes i know..that is for the future not now.

[steel mesa]

I don’t think it notifies the player if you report them

[tiny umbra]

They can't tell that you reported them, it's ok

[buoyant wasp]

(yet) gives me the hope I needed

[radiant drum]

You don’t need to do it secretly though. They know what they’re doing report, block and move on

[tribal grove]

That’s very true same here I hope they implement it in live

[shy geode]

ooo an inbox

[orchid yacht]

I accidentally reported a non-hacker once and apologized, wish I could've undone my report
hopefully staff realized

[prime lintel]

oooh inbox

[azure basin]

after so long finally an inbox feature

[tropic radish]

I'm gonna need better clarification on the third bullet from the "What the inbox cannot do (yet) :"
Honestly just can't wait to see it in action overall www

[crude turret]

may I ask, I know there's no threat (i think) in game, but what about here in discord?

[stray elk]

But I never see them online, it's as if they unblock me and then light my star and then block

[grizzled kayak]

^ Wait, is it possible to get the light that someone sent you if they blocked you?

[orchid yacht]

might be the bug that doesn't let you see people that are online

[spark lance]

lol if it makes you feel better i had to hunt down a friend for two days in order to send a report 🧍

[stray elk]

if they unblock you and then light you yes,
(also their hair is shiny even though they aren't wearing the orange hair)

[tribal grove]

Is this bug in live as well cos I have something similar happening to me in my live account

[crude turret]

wait, the hair is shiny because of the orange?

[orchid yacht]

like I was with a friend once (in live, not beta) and they didn't show up as online in my constellation

[tender knoll]

Sky Bot: No one Prophesaw

[grizzled kayak]

Ohh really? I thought since they block you, their name just wouldn’t show up at all

[tiny umbra]

Propheseesaw

[steel mesa]

sse

[tropic radish]

I can go invisible on sky by simply just switching from wifi to data (and vice versa)
I wonder if they should fix that

[orchid yacht]

I wonder if they can fix that

[stray elk]

The name shows up, it's just if you are in the same server, they will be shadows and the problem is you can see their cape and size and guess who they are and you can't light them up :(

[modest latch]

Umm I checked the inbox.... is there supposed to be something in it.... cuz there isn’t..... is it just it’s existence we are supposed to look at?

[frosty oak]

I can't enter the store on the beta server. There's nothing in the store even in the secret place. Is this normal?

[random gull]

rose is that me in the background of your screenshot

[primal pagoda]

I noticed that if I switch from wifi to data I couldn’t send any msgs or the msgs I sent just didn’t show up even tho other ppl can see it. didn’t know it would be invisible though. would you appear offline to friends?

[frosty oak]

Oh, Is the sale of seesaws and swings over by any chance. Or is it not out yet?

[limber urchin]

what is the mailbox for?

[austere merlin]

Yes 👀

[karmic jolt]

Are the swings no longer available?

[lapis ore]

You sure that's not just lag? My chat was lagging by like 5 mins in live the other day and I was using my phone to hotspot my ipad although my friend had the chat lag on their end too so that might actually be something else

[white latch]

Wait swing is no longer available??? When-

[tropic radish]

That only happens to me for a brief moment
Once I enter another area, everything goes back to normal, but I'll still appear as offline
Another thing to point out, if your connection is weak enough and you keep disconnect/reconnecting it'll give the same result

[alpine field]

I’m pretty sure that’s lagging for everyone the other day

[primal pagoda]

that happens every time I switch connection while staying online in game. I mean the msgs not showing up thing. not just lag

[karmic jolt]

I can’t find the swings in the shop 😦 so I assume it’s gone

[orchid yacht]

I thought the swing was unavailable, since days of love ended yesterday

[uncut inlet]

yoo inbox!!!

[bitter lake]

I thought its only me about the switching from wifi to mobile data, yea i use mobile data most of the time and now I have to suffer searching for a wifi somewhere to play lol

[white latch]

Do you mean its not available on beta now or its not going to be available on the next live? Srry if i read it wrong

[spark lance]

Theory: they're gonna use the inbox for announcements and surveys and stuff and things

[chilly urchin]

who has the idea of sending uno reverses to people when we can send messages in the inbox in the future?
✋

[tender knoll]

What about double heart event?

[alpine field]

Same, same, it happens every time i change wifi - coz my wifi router is too weak - i experience that everytime to the point i’d tell my friends to ignore me for 5 min when it happens

[primal pagoda]

read up #beta-announcements yall clearly it stated that stage 3 it ends together with the release of wool hat

[white latch]

Thank god,i was saving my money on the swing, cant wait aaaa

[toxic spruce]

yea same! i usually play on data but sometimes i forget to switch to it and when i switch while in game i wouldn't be able to chat for a couple minutes...

[frosty oak]

Are the new capes, tangerines, and mask items sold out?

[oak pivot]

When will the special days of fortune Staff in office go？

[primal pagoda]

at the same time with the season concludes...I guess

[lapis ore]

Huh I don't see any difference with wifi vs data other than the constellation text is consistently missing with both there's nothing weird for me (ah in live, beta is on my ipad)

[lilac oak]

Inbox?
Empty?
What's it do?

[tender knoll]

I only got one during fortune and love event

[slim kayak]

make sure to read all of #beta-announcements

[alpine field]

The important thing here is changing internet, wifi to data or vice versa, within the same game session, so yeah, there won’t be a difference if you’re using the same wifi or data the entire game

[bold igloo]

finally the inbox was opened

[lapis ore]

Ohh ok, I'll go mess around with it on my own then

[toxic spruce]

one weird thing is if i play on my iphone using wifi i laggggg and poofs all the time but if i play on my ipad using wifi (same one) everything is fine

[lilac oak]

So what's the plan? What is it going to do?

[foggy atlas]

Me too!

[cobalt crater]

we have inbox now?? does that mean we can send dm’s to our friends?

[toxic spruce]

omg comrade!!! it was horrible when moth bug was still a thing...

[lilac oak]

Hopefully

[slim kayak]

the message in the inbox says that it allows tgc to send messages to us. it can't do anything else yet. key word, yet.

[primal pagoda]

I think it’s more like the dev sending us inbox

[spark lance]

I can't imagine a lot of possible uses for inbox tbh, announcements are in the daily message, maybe for doing more survey type things?

[alpine field]

For now

[toxic spruce]

as of now not yet, according to the message

[slim kayak]

the biggest thing that was hinted at in the message was the possibility to send items/currency to other players. but of course, it can't yet

[lusty light]

I don’t think that’s what they meant

[tender knoll]

I would like to send playfight to my friends and when they opened it. They get hit.

[primal pagoda]

if it’s friends inbox it would be in the constellation lol

[valid terrace]

a I never tested seesaw jank

[lusty light]

It’s more likely they meant devs giving out currency to players for event or compensation reasons

[neat shore]

I probably missed something but did the days of love event end already? I wasn’t able to play for a few days >-<

[prime lintel]

it ended yesterday

[toxic spruce]

ohhhh this makes so much sense!

[lilac oak]

I don't have any messages ._.

[slim kayak]

ah, that's probably true. but it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility
i just want to give away my resize potions i don't need anymore

[neat shore]

Thank you I was so confused

-<

[alpine field]

Sameeee i don’t even use my resize potions

[stark cloud]

I have 23 resize potion..never use one.. I don't know what to do with that

[spark lance]

Just restart and it will appear !

[scenic merlin]

Is fav friend constellation button a known issue?

[alpine field]

Btw tgc, can i get more glowing spells from ts instead of resize? I love exploring wasteland and eden with glowing spells-

[slim kayak]

ts don't give smaller spells, so they can't unfortunately

[austere merlin]

You can go to the forgotten arc on certain days for those!

[alpine field]

Sad
Well i still got my ark
I know, i just don’t want any more resize

[vapid briar]

no

[stray elk]

and surveys :0 probably, since I get notifs for surveys

[edgy nexus]

Just curious if this is a bug or not, the small candles in Vault disappeared and a treasure candle randomly appear at place it never appear before.

[vapid briar]

not a bug

[tranquil ether]

So there’s an inbox huh.... I wonder what they’ll put in it 🤔

[spark lance]

Ok this is probably coming as someone from a community where this kind of stuff happens a lot, but if we have the ability to send candles and stuff to other players then I see possibilites for exploits here. People can easily create new moth accounts and use the boosted first day candle rate to send a boatload of candles to their mains

[scenic merlin]

So vault will have a cycle like forest and wastes?

[white latch]

Update news i think

[stray elk]

I'm thinking about, event updates, surveys, updates, known issues, etc

[vagrant heart]

ohh having surveys in the inbox seems like a great idea! More chances to give feedback as well if they wish to put more surveys like that out.

[vapid briar]

There are no immediate plans to allow players to attach items in messages sent to other players. If or when we do allow that, we will have protections in place to prevent exploitation.

[stray elk]

I seen surveys in game on the right, and they give candles, but idk if it is from TGC or it will be used in the inbox

[alpine field]

I cr-ed vault two consecutive days and i did not see a new pattern, it’s more like an increase in candles you can farm in vault

[autumn bane]

its permanent cakes. they will laways be there. 4 new cakes and a few little candles removed

[stray elk]

What about the alt accounts right now? Like the ones where people gift hearts to themselves, also the alt accounts in beta, where they take up slots

[alpine field]

I counted 5, there’s 2 new cakes in 4th floor

[tranquil ether]

at first I thought the inbox was just a beta thing so that people get all their update info in a accessible place but maybe not... now that I see the discussion about it... I do like the idea of putting surveys in there (for live and beta now that I think about it)

[autumn bane]

oh true!!

[stray elk]

Can we archive updates before they expire?

[lapis ore]

Couldn’t you just scroll up to read message history or something? Or there could be an archive

[white latch]

They dont have expiration i think, is it?

[vapid briar]

take a screenshot

messages will eventually expire, we can't really keep messages indefinitely.

[stray elk]

Is there a way to report people with instagram accounts that are hacking without knowing their sky ID

I'm going to look at Valley coliseum, I like it so much :)

[long mason]

Oo hi guys I have a smol question are the graphics above other skykids to light them supposed to be hearts?
Also I saw this thing called Shepard in the friend constellation that I never saw in beta updates ;-; thanks y'all

[tribal grove]

I could be totally wrong but Shepard is a judgement of how friendly you are I think the people with hearts above there heads are newer players that you can help..I think

[stray elk]

I think it's to see the rank of people, but it's not really a thing yet... I don't know much about it

[lapis ore]

It’s ✨mysterious✨ (if you’re a Shepherd you’ll see a little heart symbol over new ppl’s heads)

[slim kayak]

the shepherd system is a little way to rank friendliness. just play through the game and be kind to other players. once you are a shepherd (check the top right corner of your friend constellation, bar must be full), then you can see a little heart above new players' heads.

this system has been in the beta since 2019, with no indication of going to live anytime soon, if ever

[red perch]

Can i ask what is the mailbox for?

[long mason]

Woahhh thanks for the answers guys! Now I want to explore it :)

[primal pagoda]

go log in your beta and see the 📩

[spark lance]

Looks like it's a way for TGC to announce things to players, and it may become a method of receiving rewards from TGC in the future

[proven trout]

this is a stretch but does anyone know why my beta app literally will not update
i hadnt updated to the latest version but im trying rn and it stops like halfway through. ive been trying for the last 10 minutes and tried to download it like 4 times

[random gull]

android or ios? hmmis it ok if i dm to troubleshoot?

[stray elk]

Is there a way to stay in the starry stadium or it's a oob I hadn't seen

[finite meteor]

TestFlight would like to kill your sanity. Update Halfway | Dismiss

[primal pagoda]

latest update took sometime for me as well. I just left it when it stuck. eventually it’s done

[proven trout]

im gonna try deleting and reinstalling the app then ill come back if it doesnt help

[lusty fiber]

hi, is the event already over in beta? 🥺 i havent took a photo with the dragon yet

[slim kayak]

dragon is still there. but days of love is over

[dreamy bear]

What does the inbox feature do? Can i send a message to my friend?

[orchid nexus]

log in and try it. it tells you what it does

it also tells you what it doesn't do

[toxic spruce]

i tried to oob in but turns out its just like a cutscene playing over the stadium... you actually in and slide around the normal stadium 🙈

[stray elk]

And you instantly warp out after a while

[dreamy bear]

Ohhh i just logged in to check it but not try it. Thank you😅

[slim kayak]

nice pfp alex
i can't wait to see what else the inbox will be able to do

[proven trout]

deleting and reinstalling worked. time to see what this inbox message is all about

[unique pagoda]

Inbox?

What’s this about an inbox. Will we get like... compensation candles there?

[spark glen]

No it’s just a message

[slim kayak]

maybe you should check your inbox. you've got a letter in there

[upper delta]

whats with the inbox anyways

[pseudo bronze]

Can anyone tell me how do I get the lanterns?

[mossy glacier]

If we'll get compensation candles in the future, that would be mega poggers

[carmine thorn]

Mine's empty.

[proven trout]

there are popcorn kernels at home

[spark glen]

The lanterns are disguised as the boats

[lapis ore]

They’re just message boats, there’s a free boat spell along with the other event spells!

[orchid nexus]

Compensation for what? All our hard work asking for candles?

[slim kayak]

i actually mistook the lanterns for seasonal candles earlier today

[mossy glacier]

I think of them as happy bonus candles

[lapis ore]

I wonder how chaotic the home shrine will look with all the boats ppl tend to put there in live it’ll be a whole cob of corn probably

[mossy glacier]

If tgc didnt remove message boats in Eden, imagine having to deal with gigantic lanterns everywhere

[toxic spruce]

but i still see boats in wasteland

[lapis ore]

||Orbit|| would look really nice though

[orchid nexus]

I'll have to add to beta feedback: I wish lanterns would float up in the air a bit if you hold your candle to them... or heart them

[mossy glacier]

||Orbit|| with lanterns

[vital sentinel]

We have inbox now? What will we recieve?

[slim kayak]

ooooo that'd be so cool! although i wish they were a bit smaller

[vital sentinel]

How about this? When a message have been liked for 10 times, they will lit up and float?

[mossy glacier]

what if the added lanterns cos like in tangled, we're the girl in quarantine

[slim kayak]

when you hide a message, they'll float away until they pop

[mossy glacier]

Pop like a popcorn? Imagine days of festive but the fireworks are popcorns

[orchid nexus]

how about the more likes, the higher it floats... so the more popular it is, the less likely to get more likes xD

[spark lance]

Nah man hear me out. FLYING LANTERNS IN EDEN

[mossy glacier]

Instead of getting ||hit by red rocks||, you get bonked in the head with an enormous flying kernel ||and die ||

[spark lance]

Eden: Days of Fortune edition!
||Instead of statues you have to give your winged lights to the lanterns||

[valid terrace]

having to use ridiculous OOB tricks to get to a single lantern

Piggyback rocket, anyone?

[mossy glacier]

||After death, you hug a lantern and be the lantern||

[spark lance]

||all the sky kids are lanterns||
||nah screw it it's all lanterns||

[steady pond]

no but youre right skykids ARE lanterns. they emit light

[jovial ridge]

Can you link your beta account to your Facebook account?

[balmy rock]

Is there supposed to be something in the inbox??

[slim kayak]

restart your game if you don't see anything

[small swift]

There was supposed to be something in the inbox???

[runic path]

Is that considerate as a bug for restart the game to receive message?

[small swift]

Maybe? I'm not to sure

[slim kayak]

you could report it, but it was mentioned in #beta-announcements to do that, so you probably don't need to

[tacit stone]

What is the in-game inbox for?

[icy falcon]

I had to restart three times before I saw the message in my inbox, if it still doesn't show up after restarting several times, then you should bug report it

[solid oar]

when is the beta going live?

[sturdy hazel]

Beta is for testing features that may or may not be added to live, and there is no timeline for if (or when) various features will be added

[radiant drum]

Beta is also a permanent, separate version of the game so it's not ever "going live", as new features and events are always being tested! Do you mean any specific features?

[bright heart]

lowkey bummed that the teased dress from beta is shorter than I thought

[radiant drum]

#beta-feedback

[sturdy hazel]

wait, what dress--did I miss that in an update

[spark lance]

Is it me the only one that feels like..proud to see all the features and all the things Sky has become since well I’ve been playing since February, it’s so exciting watching the growth

[finite meteor]

all i wish for again is the triumphant music that would play whenever you went home or opened the game why did they remove it

[small swift]

the
what?

[bright heart]

I don't think my retort about the teased dress is worth the feedback

[sturdy hazel]

The three-note sting that played over TGC's logo when you opened the game

[worldly saddle]

Yo! Where’s the green light for the forgotten ark quests?

[finite meteor]

no, not that

[chrome ledge]

Its at Daylight Prairie

[worldly saddle]

AH YES i forgot that it was there! Thank you haha

[finite meteor]

hold on lemme find a vi- ktjn typing

[vapid briar]

It took a couple hours for all the messages to be delivered. It was not globally instant since it was the first message from a new system that was just turned on for the first time. If subsequent messages take a long time to receive, then we may ask for that feedback/bug reports later.

[finite meteor]

THIS IS THE MUSIC IM TALKIG ABOUT https://youtu.be/GEpwXduTQ9k

[alpine field]

I-I-I was actually glad they removed the bgm-

[pseudo bronze]

Wait what I didn’t know it snows in the village! Does it happen in live too?

[vapid briar]

also wolfy, there's no reason stop what you're typing to point out that i'm typing.

anyone in the channel can see that i'm typing.

[alpine field]

It’s a recent update in beta! Hopefully implementing in live a few updates later

[primal pagoda]

oh I actually remember the music. just didn’t realize it was gone 😂

[finite meteor]

fluffy snow

[high pumice]

[sand dawn]

I heard the splitting issue in flying race got fixed.. is that really so?

[finite meteor]

well the snowfall in sky is one way to enjoy that my state rarely gets snow

[alpine field]

I still got split from my friend last time we went a couple of days ago...although i admit it’s a rare occurence now

[rich island]

what's the inbox menu do? is it for support messages?

[radiant drum]

The message in the inbox has your answer

[indigo yarrow]

there's no message in my inbox, but i can open it

[rich island]

yup i don't receive it yet as well, gonna wait

[glossy sedge]

me too

[radiant drum]

Well in that case you can read some screenshots people sent in #beta-screenshots-videos while you wait

[indigo yarrow]

i restarted the app and it's there now @glossy sedge @rich island (sorry for ping, dunno if you'll get it)

[visual island]

I just want the dress to come to live TT

[radiant drum]

#beta-feedback

[soft fjord]

Anyone finding lighting and exploding crabs both fun and disturbing at the same time?

[light depot]

Exp- exploding crabs??

[grizzled kayak]

I just feel an immense wave of trigger happy feelings lolol

[soft fjord]

Yes they pop out of the dragon in home and land upside down. Light em up like 🧨

[primal pagoda]

it’s disturbing because the crabs actually look like they wanna escape it because they move when we get near them 😂

[small swift]

I was so happy to see the little crab family at home and I got curious when a fire icon appeared over one of the babies. I was scarred.

[light depot]

I have no idea what that sentence means but that sounds both terrifying and exhilarating

[soft fjord]

Was there an announcement about the dress? My kids were looking through the wardrobe and noticed it and I thought they were the shorts from forest until they pointed out said shorts. It would be nice if the dress were a bit longer so it looked more distinctive.

[slim kayak]

No announcement, it was slipped in. Even ktjn was surprised

[tropic radish]

Exploding Tangerines > Exploding crabs

[soft fjord]

The dress being a little longer than the cape would be nice

The sign next to the boat?

[small swift]

I think sleepy traveler is connected with the days of fortune event? I might be wrong

[orchid yacht]

it is

[fathom river]

i'm a sleepy traveler. i sleep everywhere lol

[spark lance]

What's this new inbox?

[soft fjord]

So TGC can send messages to players for now.

[spark lance]

That's cool

[abstract plover]

guys i need to know why can we kill baby crabs this is wrong

[dreamy bear]

Baby crabs for meal

[slim kayak]

you can leave feedback about it. i don't like the crab fireworks much either. i would rather have them be just generic balls of light or something

[abstract plover]

why do the crabs explode

[spark lance]

They explode in keeping with the festive new year's theme. I also just wish it was something else that we got to light and see explode.

[primal pagoda]

soft shell crab 🦀 salted egg yolk

[abstract plover]

but they are baby crabs

[vapid briar]

they're crab-shaped fireworks

it won't matter in the next update anyway as we'll be changing the model of fireworks to something else. hopefully that allays any concern for animal cruelty.

[radiant drum]

[fathom river]

they're fire CRABkers. k bye

[tropic radish]

Good to know the crabs are just placeholders

[abstract plover]

ah i thought they were real crabs i was worried :C

[green urchin]

xd

[small pebble]

Hmm, I thought it was so silly seeing the crabs being able to explode, I haven't been able to see them myself since the dragon only now is appearing for me, but the exploding crabs was cute to me, and kept with the theme of the event and Sky. But if you think it's not okay, that's alright

[fathom river]

people need to chill lol.

[green urchin]

Yes

[small pebble]

Mhm

[vapid briar]

not everything "is offensive" and making hyperbolic generalizations like that really don't contribute to healthy discussions.

[royal elm]

are we supposed to have anything in our inbox? pardon me if we don't, I just woke up so I don't know if you've answered it already

[prime lintel]

I think part of the reason people were/are feeling uncomfortable about the exploding crabs is that Sky is inherently a non-violent game, and seeing what looks like animals getting exploded in the non-violent game is something that people did not feel comfortable about

[vapid briar]

read #beta-announcements log into sky. if you still have questions, feel free to pop back into chat.

[royal elm]

no no, I saw the inbox, I'm just not sure if we're supposed to have any messages

[slim kayak]

There's supposed to be a message in there, try restarting your game and see if it shows up

[vapid briar]

by saw inbox do you mean you logged into the game and checked for messages and found nothing there?

[royal elm]

yeah, I reset and it's there now

[fathom river]

same. I reseted and it's here. it's so cute

the wool hat is so cuuuute

[royal elm]

seems like, for android at least, you need to reset to update the inbox, gonna go make a bug report real quick

[small pebble]

I really want the wool hat in live, it's honestly one of the cutest items I've ever seen in the game

[fathom river]

looks so good with the blush mask. makes me smile whenever I see my sky kid

[vivid shore]

Good day everyone

[oblique wren]

Can we separate the hair and the hat? I think many players will like this

[vapid briar]

no, they were designed as one item.

[fathom river]

hmm I like the way it is. looks cozy and cute (cheaper this way too lol)

[vapid briar]

hats and hairstyles fill the same equipment slot in the Closet, this is why we often combine some sort of hair to go with some hat items.

[slim kayak]

is that the case for the rose mask too? i know that some people were hoping it could become an accessory instead of attached to the mask

[primal pagoda]

I would totally buy it in live if it is a headgear instead of a hair piece

[royal elm]

rose is a mask to prevent clipping iirc, and the only actual hat we have is the party hat

[undone chasm]

What exactly is the inbox what’s it for?

[fathom river]

i would buy it regardless of design lol. as long as I feel cute

[vapid briar]

accessories are different, often smaller and can be paired with a wider variety of hairstyles. Eventually, we have to make a design decision to not allow certain things given the current constraints on equippable items.

[royal elm]

imagine the rose with the new ox mask now that would be a clipping nightmare

[vapid briar]

most of what people ask for as accessories were never designed with that intent. This doesn't mean we never will, but it's better to make those requests in the #wishlist-and-ideas-archived channel than ask for dramatic modifications to existing items.

[slim kayak]

ox mask is just munching on a cool snack

[royal elm]

most hairstyles and animal masks gobble the flower up for breakfast so I can't imagine how the rose would work if not a mask

[undone chasm]

🥺 👆

[vapid briar]

consider when the game launched, accessories and necklaces were not equippable items—now they are.

[fathom river]

rose mask is so funny imo haha

[vapid briar]

any non-flat mask would envelop the rose if it were an accessory, rendering it useless for a large number of masks available.

[royal elm]

there should be a message in your inbox, if not reset the game and check it again

[alpine field]

Imma flirt with my friends with that mask uwu
@undone chasm pls read #beta-announcements
And go in your game to check

[undone chasm]

What exactly is inbox and what is it for?

[royal elm]

you should have a message in it that explains what it is, if not reset beta and check again

[undone chasm]

Ok! Thanks because I had no messages thanks!

[royal elm]

yeah, the inbox is still kiiinda buggy , gotta reset to update it

[random gull]

would something like requesting the rose mask itself have more to it texture wise also go in wishlist or is that more feedback?

[primal pagoda]

instead of a mask with a flower maybe the design would be better if it’s a no mask with a flower

imo it’s kinda weird to see a mask with no mouth and a flower attach to it 😂

[fathom river]

i forgot the eyes of the rose mask. does it have emotion? if it's not that would be really funny. i love it tho

[abstract plover]

i still dont understand why we can use a chibi spell and have our mask but it not be a permanent thing

[alpine field]

More feedback ig

[royal elm]

not sure, don't have enough hearts to buy it , I'm broke in beta

I bought the ox mask aaaand.... I'm broke too busy to do a cr in beta atm

[lyric kite]

You can try it with the free spells from the boat

[royal elm]

oh right completely forgot, it's just the default mask with a rose, looks kinda weird yeah haha

I'd much prefer it if the rose used the lightseekers mask colors to match with the white of the swing and seesaw

[edgy tangle]

Does anyone know what the real prices for the items being tested were? I grabbed them without paying enough attention and I’d liek the context since I might actually buy some in live but don’t have enough info for feedback

[fathom river]

or have like a doe eye or something haha

[royal elm]

nothing in beta is final so these might change, but I remember the orange is 0.99, the pack is 24.99 (not quite sure), the swing and seesaw are 14.99 with a seasonal candle pack and the hat is 4.99

[slim kayak]

swing and seesaw are 19.99 iirc, and hat is 9.99

[royal elm]

ah, thanks for the correction, I also didn't pay much attention

I probably won't buy anything from this except maybe the orange, the rest are a tad out of my budget

[random gull]

i am obsessed with the orange probably gonna buy the wool cap too

[slim kayak]

my budget is $0
but i'm so glad that the orange is very, very cheap. it gives more players a chance to buy something this time around!

[gilded parrot]

did someone say ?

[random gull]

we said orange too many times skybot was like no

[royal elm]

I'm very glad the ox mask is free, it's like an extension of the gratitude masks!

[slim kayak]

the lion dragon headdress makes me so happy. actually, all of days of fortune makes me happy. i get to celebrate lunar new year even if i can't go outside

[fathom river]

the ox mask looks really cool and clean. it's so amazingly designed

[primal pagoda]

🧧

[vapid briar]

got some clarification about the Inbox: it's known/intentional that you need to relog to receive the message waiting for you. If it requires you to launch the game more than twice for the message to appear, please send a bug report. The message is released to players on a staggered cadence to avoid bogging down the servers with too many messages at once. Remember this is just the first iteration of this feature, as we add more functionality, improvements to stability will come as well.

[royal elm]

maybe it's yoga's lost mask only gratitude spirit to not have a mask

[slim kayak]

omg i didn't know that was an emoji nice 🧧

[royal elm]

days of fortune feels like an extension of gratitude and I'm all for it

[sullen relic]

The red envelope emote is pretty amusing seeing how everybody is a sky kid

[fathom river]

and the cosmetics looks so awesome especially the cape,

[royal elm]

everyone gets money!!!

[lyric kite]

Yeah, I really like the Days of Fortune stuff a lot, it fits the aesthetic of the Sky world really well, in my opinion. The artists did a great job

[tidal cradle]

Guys what’s the new inbox for?

[slim kayak]

if you don't see the message from tgc in it, reload your game. it explains what it's for

[hollow compass]

Oh, the inbox makes a return! I remember it existed in old beta, but was never used.

[slim kayak]

oh really? that's pretty cool, implementing old ideas and making them new again!

[crude crystal]

It said ‘it can deliver attachment such as items or currency’.What kind of currency exactly

[hollow compass]

No idea. Maybe if you've lost some and CS helps you?

[fathom river]

hope we can gift iap items. haha just maybe

[late mountain]

Make sure to read the message closely
As of now it can only send messages from the TGC team to the player. Delivering currency and items was something listed under what it can not do (yet). It may be something they're considering for the future but we'll just have to wait and see. If it does become an option then you'll probably get the answer you're looking for when testing begins.

[spark lance]

can you find out the prices for a swing for two?

[faint hazel]

19.99 usd as of now

[spark lance]

😱😱😱😱😱 oh noooo

[late mountain]

It also comes with 35 seasonal candles. Be aware price and what comes with the pack is all subject to change until it hits live though

[spark lance]

In my country, the dollar is very expensive. It's not fair!

[faint hazel]

its pretty expensive in usd too lol

[cosmic orchid]

I'm just happy the orange is 0.99

[late mountain]

If you have feedback about the price you can send it in #beta-feedback if you haven't already. Sorry to hear that purchases in game are very expensive there though.

[spark lance]

Who will listen to me. I have already written about the prices to the support service and not only there. They don't care.

[faint hazel]

customer support doesnt exactly work on gamedev if i remember properly. they will consider it if you put it in feedback though, but it might not be changed. we'll see. sky has changed a lot about the game for its community (valley oob, rainbow bridge, thigns about cosmetics), and while im not sure if theyve changed prices they might

[late mountain]

TGC reads through all the feedback given and considers it in their decisions, they care.

Its best to send your constructive feedback about the price to #beta-feedback. Customer support wont be able to help you with that.

[ashen tundra]

I have a quick question for ya'll to ask for your opinions (asking for a friend)

What do you think if the "days of fortune orange" was available to be gifted to friends like an adventure pass?

[hollow compass]

I think it would make sense in relation to it being a tradition in some South Asian countries.

[late mountain]

Personally I love the idea, especially since its much cheaper than an adventure pass so its more affordable for people to offer their friends a special gift as a token of friendship.

[minor falcon]

I would love to gift oranges to my friends! submitted feedback on this a while back

[sullen relic]

imagine if gifting an orange results in you kneeling down and doing the friendship candle pose -- except you're just holding an orange

[ebon sable]

What a nice tradition!♥️🍊

[ashen tundra]

Because one of my friends who loves the orange isnt able to buy any IAPs even if they are very cheap due to personal reasons. Once they found out it was just 0.99usd in the beta they were left kind of sad.

On the other hand, a friend of my friend can 100% buy the orange and would love to gift it to them

They arent on the official sky discord so i decided to do them a favor and send a message here in beta-feedback since i know there are many more people like my friend who arent able to buy any IAPs even if they are cheap

[gilded parrot]

[amber scaffold]

Yesssss I sent my first message about it in beta-feedback

[ashen tundra]

Apoligies for the big block of text, should i delete it?

[late mountain]

Have you put your idea in #beta-feedback?
I'm just wondering how they would store bonus oranges though. Not like we have a counter for extra oranges we have bought Maybe one in the friendship tree just for the event?

[sullen relic]

every extra orange you have is stacked on your head

[gilded parrot]

[slim kayak]

nah, it's fine to send things like that here. you should have seen our discussion about ts prices the other day

[late mountain]

Nah I wouldn't. Its beta related and explains well so I'd leave it.

~~I like to contend with the word limit sometimes in big discussions here ~~

[slim kayak]

especially with a 15 minute slow mode. text walls become common

[ashen tundra]

For some reason your pfp goes well with your message

[sullen relic]

think people have already commented on it earlier, but just to throw in an extra confirm: the chevron drops don't seem to be tied to every time your candle counter rises by a full number anymore, so it seems to be tracking the exact wax collected per day

[ebon sable]

Yeah, more noticeable when you get down to one chevron.

[slim kayak]

oh yeah. the meter is consistent now. it tells you every time you collect a candle and when your energy depletes, even if you don't physically forge the candles

[tender oasis]

It would be nice to see the internal chevron levels too. Sometimes i'm in autopilot mode and miss the drop down

[slim kayak]

you should put that in #beta-feedback
sounds like a good idea

[distant pelican]

For the red envelopes, do you have to have a certain friendship level?

[slim kayak]

yes, i believe you need double high five? it's somewhere in the second part of the friendship tree

[late mountain]

According to the updates and the preview page you need to have carry (piggyback) unlocked but it seems to be connected to the double hi-five one instead in beta. Not sure if it will stay there come live or not.

[slim kayak]

it could very well be lower for testing purposes

[late mountain]

Guess we’ll wait and see.

[sullen relic]

i wouldn't recommend using the 5 heart option much unless you've already completed most of your constellation and travelling spirits, it's really inefficient on your candles in comparison to regular heart gifts during the double hearts period

[hollow compass]

Red envelopes? Oh, are those the multi-heart gifts? I forgot to check them out.

[gilded talon]

I just see it as a way to show that I love a friend really really really a lot

[fathom river]

you're friend is so lucky. hope he/she treasures you too

[primal pagoda]

Hahahaha the idea of having a stack of orange on chibi sky kid head is superrr cutee

[fathom river]

plus that blushing mask. I'm gonna die from cuteness

[primal pagoda]

Too bad chibi can’t blush. Gotta choose either one of the mask

[fathom river]

i have the smallest height in live. so i might achieve this look

[versed drum]

iirc when you slide out of the tunnel in Hermit Valley the columns would lit up and the bridge go down then the gate will open. But they are inactive now? Did they changed it?

[fathom river]

yes they did. too bad. i love that too

[versed drum]

Awh. That's sad.

[steady pond]

that was actually unintentional which surprised me, but i guess i could understand what bugs would occur if many players went down at different speeds down the bridge

[versed drum]

It was the coolest thing I ever see in the game hope I would see it again

[daring parrot]

during double hearts yes, but iirc it is stonks normally, right?

[primal pagoda]

I think gifting 5 hearts won’t be permanent. It’s an event thing

[late mountain]

Gifting 5 hearts for 14 candles is a Days of Fortune exclusive feature and will be going once the event ends.
Double hearts will be active during the Days of Love event but when both events cross over the 14 candle Days of Fortune 5 heart gift will not gift 10 hearts. Only the single heart gift is doubled.

[sullen relic]

it saves you 1 candle across 5 hearts (i.e. total cost is 14 instead of 15), so it's really more the ability to give hearts faster than to make any candle savings; the main problem is that using that option multiple times while the event is going will drain your candles quite quickly, and there's already plenty of other sources of pressure on your candles between double hearts, the event cosmetics as well as a travelling spirit towards the end of the event

[limpid herald]

Inbox poggg

[craggy bloom]

!ts

[gilded parrot]

The next Traveling Spirit is scheduled to arrive on February 4 at 00:00 Pacific Time (UTC -8:00)
You can read how Traveling Spirits work here: http://bit.ly/TravelingSpirits

[atomic mountain]

hiya, whats inbox do? dont see any options to send messages to friends 🤔

does it send notifs from tgc?

[late mountain]

Be sure to restart your game. The message in there will describe the rest for you

[atomic mountain]

ohh! man, this looks so cool omg
sending items in the future?

[late mountain]

Possibly, but we'll have to wait and see

[fathom river]

sending message to your future self? haha. jk would be cool tho lol

[desert tide]

Hello, does anyone know what does the inbox box do?? Cause mine is empty and am kinda confused

[late mountain]

Try restarting

[late mountain]

Haha, that'll be my note system of who I said I'd do art for and who wants hearts

[kindred fossil]

i'm imagining that we send letters through crabs, haha

[fathom river]

I'll send to my future self that life isn't too bad.

[pale junco]

What is the inbox for

[kindred fossil]

restart and check again, the message will explain

[pale junco]

Here are some things i noticed while my eden trip today
||Our capes tear bit by bit as the red rocks hit||
||The statues now glow in a blueish hue after giving them the winded light||
The sparkles near our feet aren't that harsh now when we use spells

Have you guys seen any other changes to the game play

[toxic spruce]

That been the case for awhile for me. It’s pretty easy to tell if you gave wings to the statues while standing far away

[pale junco]

Yes but i don't think all statues are glowing pfft some in the beginning do then not the rest.

[toxic spruce]

A change I think very useful is that you can no longer click into friendship tree while flying (leading) I love this feature

[pale junco]

Huh

[late mountain]

It might be graphic setting related but they all have a blue glow for me when close. When far away all you can see is a light orange hue around saved ones.

[pale junco]

No when i was close the darkness falling off of them happened but they never glowed might be a bug

[late mountain]

Oh, I nearly bug reported that at one point Was going 'tap tap tap, why aint this working'

[desert tide]

So in the inbox we'd be able to see updates and upcoming event for the game without needing to see on the server or Instagram for news ??

[toxic spruce]

For me before giving wing is dark blue with a glow, can be seen far away (as long as it loads in 😂) then the ones I gave wings Is kinda pale tint

I use 1 lightning bolt

[late mountain]

Its very subtle but its been around as long as I have I think. Perhaps people might know more in #eden-spoilers since its not a new feature.

[pale junco]

Also why am i seeing the emote menu of my friends when they honk

[toxic spruce]

and why do I feel like eden kinda got harder(?)

[pale junco]

They never fully glowed. That one is new

[late mountain]

I think its the same for me, at least I'd assume so but I can't tell colours well enough to confirm. I use high performance mode usually.

[toxic spruce]

Kinda miss shiny boi too...

[pale junco]

It looks like a emote menu. Could it be a new feature
#beta-screenshots-videos message

[toxic spruce]

That looked so weird it looked like a combination of instrument notes and emotes

[late mountain]

Perhaps its in development but for now that's almost certainly a bug.

[pale junco]

[kindred fossil]

nah, most of those look like the flight toggle assets

[pale junco]

Is the invisible cape going to be a thing in live? Because it seems so weird lol

[low kindle]

[toxic spruce]

Btw what’s the max candle count in beta now? I saw someone posting it but can’t find it now

[late mountain]

Its been in beta for months and months with no indication of coming to live. Due to its wonky appearance it might also seem buggy or confusing in live so I doubt it will. Never say never but I doubt it will ever come.

[desert tide]

Btw am i the only one with grainy graphics even though they are maxed, igh time for bug report

[low kindle]

where's my daily "good morning" message from tgc on my inbox

[pale junco]

I'm legit feeling like i'm in a pre global release beta rn because of everything happening

[kindred fossil]

17-19, just like live

[kindred fossil]

we'll get "sneep snorp" instead if any of us is caught past their bed time

[late mountain]

Surely we get a chat with skybot in the future for commands and of course that chaotic skybot nature

[runic path]

imagine type !krill in inbox

[pale junco]

🥲 i can't wait for the next season even tho there's more than one month left

[wary star]

ao what's this cool inbox stuff yall have

[late mountain]

Be sure to restart and then you can check out the message yourself
(or check out #beta-screenshots-videos if you're not on beta)

[pulsar blade]

I will wait another half hour again someone pop the crabs again

[tender knoll]

Is the final seasonal cutscene fixed? After last update I went to check and found my sky kid sliding when the dream girl was dancing.

[crude crystal]

the ox mask looks like a manta on a cow ears

[late mountain]

Just tested it now and it seemed to work as intended

~~I still wish you could stay there though until you left through a portal ~~

[valid whale]

for the mailbox we will have soon what do u think we’ll get to gift other players

[high girder]

How much is the seesaw, swing and cape?

[random gull]

seesaw and swing are $19.99 each and cape is sold in a pack not separately and the pack is $24.99
these are beta prices and still subject to change before they go live

[late mountain]

Currently no gifting options are available but if it does become an option in the future I’m hoping for IAPs to be giftable, particularly the small and cute IAPs like orange.

[hollow bolt]

Ooh, so I got about 7.5 candles doing all of valley (incl. village, races, etc), as opposed to getting only 4.45something as according to Clement’s live tally.

If skykids only had a few minutes to spare to do one realm, I’d say that the new candle system would work well in their favour.

[strong tangle]

How much days left till season of dreams in beta finish

[tender oasis]

6 days

[warm gulch]

Purple grass is gone already ;-;

[radiant drum]

It’s done testing in beta but will be in live for much longer ^^

[crude crystal]

how much is wool hat

[late mountain]

In beta the price was $9.99USD but it is subject to change until it comes to live

[random gull]

man I'm imagining moths who like juuuuust learned the candle routes in the future and then this new candle system gets introduced to live. those are gonna be the people who struggle most with it I wonder if it'll go out before or in tandem with switch release for that reason

[steady pond]

i dont think itd be too much of a struggle even if they learned older candle routes though, since even with the old routes it still lets them familiarize themselves with the map.
which imo would be the most important thing, plus most candles that are moved are still placed in the usual routes, excluding extras we got!

[tender oasis]

It will be more of an older player problem cause a bunch of us is going from muscle memory now I tend to forget candle cakes a lot because they are not there every single day.

[steady pond]

oh god true, when they were moving around the WL in bird nest during preperation for sanctuary it messed with my flight path so much xD
that along with the valley WLs being moved too

[strong tangle]

thank you!

[buoyant wasp]

muscle memory thing is so true tho, I can literally do anything while farming not paying too much attention to where I’m going because I just go automatically to where’s the wax spots
there’s some situations that I don’t even remember on collecting a specific spot but I actually already collected, but I wasn’t paying attention at all, went airplane mode and go back to double check

[strong tangle]

I remember their was two spirit in the dreams season in beta it was the spirit and another spirit from valley..but i dont see them in live verison

[slim kayak]

They appeared when you relive the yeti spirit. Is that what you mean? Cause I could still see them

[gilded talon]

That was the seasonal spirit bug I think. Wait you mean cutscenes? Nvm I got it wrong

[tender oasis]

Quest cutscen has juggler too if you meanr that.

[random gull]

another Kai I guess I don't have muscle memory issue cuz when I do cr on my own I take a different route every time I usually beg for ubers tho

[strong tangle]

oh! Yes that what i meant

[strong tangle]

but im the same kai your friends with- right you have too much kais on your friends list

[random gull]

I have like at least 12 Kais I did look to see if I had a dm started with you and I don't so I though maybe you were a new one

[strong tangle]

oh and kai last time you was sleeping in sky for more then 10 hours- i lost my account this is the 4th time

[random gull]

tbh I find it hilarious I have only fallen asleep with beta open once and it was the time they did beta server maintenance so I woke up to "server error" message hopefuilly none of my beta friends found me before the servers shut off

[lucid ginkgo]

not sure where to ask this but around what time do beta invites usually get released

[primal pagoda]

around the end of the season in live

[strong tangle]

but kai you fall asleep on live verison and it was more then 10 hours moff kai told me it was more then that child dont leave your sky open

[primal pagoda]

make a petition to create #kai-general-discussion where all Kais in sky can gather

[strong tangle]

we need that

[copper bison]

hello, how are you all? how's testing going?

[dapper ginkgo]

They're multiplying!

[random gull]

hi kai hi tiki

[dapper ginkgo]

Yo Kai. Hi Kai. Hello Kai I haven't seen before.

[copper bison]

hoping google will let me back into beta next testing season

[random gull]

I hope so too! I miss the shenanigans we got up to

[strong tangle]

three kais here now

idk how to join beta im andriod and it dont let me download it im just always using play store but it dont say download or anything how do i download it for the next time for the invites

[gilded parrot]

@strong tangle, 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.

[random gull]

ahahahaha for once it wasn't me skybot pinged

[strong tangle]

still didnt understand skybot

[slim kayak]

What skybot said. You need to wait for invite waves to happen in order to get a spot in beta. #beta-faq is a magical place where most answers can be found

[strong tangle]

ik but on play store it dont show the download button or anything

[slim kayak]

Thats because its full right now. Invite waves aren't happening until around the end of dreams in live, most likely

[cosmic orchid]

its full atm

[strong tangle]

Ik ik i did that when the invites wasnt full

[slim kayak]

Are you sure you're signed into the correct gmail?

[strong tangle]

Yep it wasn't showing but it was showing me green sentece didnt read it

[slim kayak]

You should probably read it. It might be helpful to know why you can't download it

[tawny tangle]

Ok do y’all know where the fourth trial starts? I can’t for the life of me figure out where it is

[strong tangle]

oh well i needa wish i could get on the next invites thank you

[slim kayak]

You might wanna get the beta invite role from #beta-faq so you'll know when they happen

[languid flare]

I think that one starts in the stadium, the girl will be near the entrance to village in the stadium

[tawny tangle]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok thank you!!

[spark lance]

I must get the invite to join the beta next time

[merry ibex]

[slim kayak]

!reportfaq just report them. we shouldn't really be pointing them out, it gives them more attention

[gilded parrot]

And then there’s me, Kay.

[finite meteor]

asking for heart trades isnt allowed

[sour crown]

Oop- why tho?

[finite meteor]

scams can happen, and its not guaranteed that a heart will be returned from them

[sour crown]

Oh yeah true I don't know why I didn't even think of that that's so risky

[left dragon]

Could you also please delete the message. Iirc you should probably do that for messages that violate server rules

[dapper gust]

Wait wait wait, for what is that thing of Messages added to the menu?

[random gull]

you should have a message in your inbox explaining what it is and what it currently can and can't do! if you don't see any messages try reloading the app. if after one reload you still don't see a message then #beta-bugs-android or #beta-bugs-ios to bug report it please

How to send messages to friends?

[finite meteor]

if you mean with the inbox you cant do that yet

[tawny osprey]

I see the new inbox thing, is there supposed to be something in it?

[gleaming yacht]

yey servers downnn i wonder what surprise awaits owo

[craggy bloom]

wha

[kindred fossil]

server maintenance is just that, server maintenance

[wary star]

what are all of the free items in the two events

[random gull]

6pm my time. exactly when I was planning on meeting a friend hopefully they see the ping too

[kindred fossil]

they're already listed in the blogpost in #news, they're referred to as "in-game currency" items

[woeful lodge]

I don’t see anything in my in game inbox. Am I supposed to? Or is the inbox itself what I’m supposed to see?

[tribal grove]

At first I thought it was down now cos it’s already 3 lol but nope it’s down at 6:00 (for me)

[finite meteor]

there should be a message in your inbox. if you've restarted multiple times and it hasn't appeared, Ktjn said to bug report it

[woeful lodge]

Ok I noted that he said (in the announcement) to restart if the inbox itself isn’t there, but he didn’t mention anything about the message being missing. I’ll restart a couple of times.

[vapid briar]

check #beta-known-issues for what's expected vs what would be a bug

[light depot]

watch everyone freak out when #beta-announcements server cleaning happens

[woeful lodge]

Gotcha! Thanks for all your hard work. Message appeared after restarting and I’m SO EXCITED for the potential of this feature!

[slate heath]

oh man im so exited for the inbox feature - you will be able to send candles or even cosmetic packs through it! (in the future)

[vapid briar]

we're very excited too, a lot of work still needs to be done before we're able to allow players to message one another, but the potential is there.

[sick pendant]

While the servers are down, I have a theory to share with y'all

So office (besides being an Easter egg/secret) was added so we could celebrate things not connected with the sky kingdom. Such as new year, Halloween etc.

The dragon w firecracker crabs is added in home...

Meaning it HAS lore... Right?(i have a bigger theory if yes)

[vapid briar]

I should clarify before folks get their hopes up when we talk about including attachments, this refers to TGC sending items or currency (for CS and account restoration purposes) We absolutely want to add more support for gifting between players, but that may not be served through the inbox.

the dragon does not have lore implications, it is a real-world tie-in.

[sage shuttle]

wait- are the servers down rn?

[light depot]

Do you mean like gifting IAps or soemthing?

[vapid briar]

no

[sick pendant]

Oh(((
What about the firecracker crabs?

[random gull]

aaahhhhh I'll be able to send little happy notes to my friends one day in sky and tell all my friends I love them or maybe arrange meetings with people I'm not connected with on discord. the potential for this is so exciting

[vapid briar]

nope

it's thematically tied to Sky's aesthetic, but no lore implications.

[valid terrace]

Suspected.

[sick pendant]

Cuz my theory was

Butterflies are marinated fireworks (elder cutscene)

If marinated for too long they starts to spoil/spore darkness.

If they didn't have time to completely spoil they become firecracker crabs

If they spoil fully they fully form into crabs

[light depot]

Oh I literally just asked thing that you just said no to, I’m an idiot sorry

[valid terrace]

My concern of the messaging system is the monitoring it might need - sad thing is that though a lovely idea, there’s always someone who abuses it

[vapid briar]

not everything in-game has lore tie-ins. some things are for gameplay. There's always a balance between story and gameplay.

[sick pendant]

Possible solutions

Chat filters applied to them
Messaging cooldowns/limits per day

[vapid briar]

that is exactly why allowing player-to-player messaging will come at a later date.

lots of things to consider before enabling that function:
-filtering
-spamming
-scamming
-harassment
and so on

[valid terrace]

Ah, good.

well, I did trust the team on that and I’m very very glad

[random gull]

I think it's fun that Sky has some "real-world" easter eggs like the office and the events that don't really tie into the sky world so much. Lore theories get overwhelming sometimes to me so the fun stuff is a nice little break

[sick pendant]

I have an idea to share.
To avoid scams we need some sort of "exchange" or "trade" feature. Where we can receive a heart for example only after or at the same time as we are sending one and vice versa.

[vapid briar]

that kind of defeats the intent of gifting in the first place. quid pro quo means gifts aren't truly gifts.

[random gull]

hearts are meant to be gifts not a trade I never expect a heart back when I gift them (I don't actually need hearts anyways)

[minor falcon]

I'm excited how different communities might use player-to-player messaging, like shrine message groups! a "reset briefing" style "newsletter" spread through the dm system could be possible too

[sick pendant]

No no no, this is fully new feature alongside the previous.
We aren't removing the gifting option. We're just adding the "trade" option

[random gull]

the inbox actually makes me really happy cuz I now have a way to tell my older in game friends I appreciate them without them being bombarded with hearts they don't need I often go on heart gifting sprees until I run out of candles and I feel sad that I can't gift some friends cuz they already have e v e r y t h i n g

[sick pendant]

Omg we can build a whole marketing server 👀👀

[minor falcon]

imo player-to-player messaging needs to come with a friend constellation ui update so we can find everyone we want to message but of course this is really far in the future

[haughty wyvern]

I think trading isn’t as nice as gifting

[minor falcon]

I'd rather not commercialize gifting and other aspects of having friends, like ubers

[sick pendant]

My suggestion was for solving the scamming issues. Ofc If u gift something you dont except anything back hence you can't get scammed

[random gull]

omg Voi yes I have far too many friends I surpassed the viewable constellation limit my first week on sky. that was over a year ago

[deft charm]

oh my, imagine sending valentine's cards to friends

[random gull]

lol Vol why are you shocked. I thought you knew I throw candles at everything that moves ask Aeras

[slim kayak]

if/when messaging players is possible, i'll be bombarding my friends with birthday cards

[vapid briar]

we really want to discourage heart farming groups via message candles, so combating coordinated efforts like that are on the list of considerations. It's not an exploit but is definitely behavior we're disappointed to see.

[minor falcon]

it feels very natural to be able to send messages to friends, showing appreciation can be easier when you're not face to face

[kindred fossil]

[carmine thorn]

What if the player messaging system can only use the in game emotes as "text?"

[kindred fossil]

inbox: from dark

crap, i forgot to put /j at the end! oh silly me

[sick pendant]

Y'all please tell me you know where this is from...

Or else i look like a weirdo

It's from tom and Jerry

[blazing sail]

I would ignore any messages that made me play charades to translate it

[dapper ginkgo]

Like these emotes?

[minor falcon]

record little "choreographies" of emotes for people you haven't unlocked chat with?

[tribal grove]

[sick pendant]

Omg pantomime... Another mini game

[orchid nexus]

player-to-player messaging does have a lot of major obstacles. I'm glad that is a distant-horizon kind of topic and I wouldn't be upset if it never materialized.

[valid terrace]

Completely honest opinion that I’m somewhat against the idea of a messaging system in Sky - I do get into friendly conversations sometimes and do prefer to be alone sometimes - but solely out of wanting to be with that person without disregarding the existence of others.

DMs would feel...too personal, honestly. The game’s special to me to allow that sort of intimacy but feeling secure at the same time, the fact you’re out there, but others are too.
That sort of very very personal thing for me feels it’s just asking to result in something concerning at some point.

anyway

[sick pendant]

Guess the story

[tribal grove]

A happy sky kid gets spotted by a krill can’t find a place to hide cries looses light cries cos of this an gets spotted again?

[orchid nexus]

flip-side: I really do think direct player messaging from TGC will have many benefits. I just want the text to be larger and more contrasty 😄

[valid terrace]

might as well throw that in feedback
I’ve rarely posted feedback, should I

[sudden flower]

ngl I find DMs kind of stressful sometimes and don't always wanna reply so i feel this -- i love just vibing silently or chatting with friends tho

[sick pendant]

Yes but at the end it's just a happy krill with full stomach

[tribal grove]

I think dms are a good idea but with a short number of charecters to they can be short and sweet

[sick pendant]

Round 2 this one is a phrase

[timid bough]

maybe some sort of dnd mode can be implemented

[minor falcon]

there is a part of me that likes that in order to reach someone in game you need to be right with them, where both parties have agency to remain in the situation/conversation, a dm is just something people can just fling at you - maybe there should be a further "unlock messaging" friendship node if this ever comes to the game? so people can decide who if anyone they wish to give that avenue to

[orchid nexus]

what about with a limited range of emotes and no text so they can't be harassing or begging? Enough to express gratitude or whatever, maybe even enough to say "join my game?" but no verbal freedom

[slim kayak]

if dms became a thing, i would want it to only be limited to closer friends. like voi said, perhaps a friendship upgrade of some kind

[timid bough]

considering normal face to face verbal communication requires to be unlocked that is a good idea

[orchid nexus]

Sometimes I wish face-to-face interaction had to be unlocked IRL ... but sometimes a friendly greeting from a stranger is a bright point.

[timid bough]

too real

[bright forge]

I agree

[slim kayak]

considering that most of my closer friends in sky live across the world from me, i don't think that would be possible for me alex

[sick pendant]

Sky emoji <-> English

[tender oasis]

I would be happy to have the option to send dm-s to friend I’m unable to catch online because of time zone differences and we are not in contact at discord.

[orchid nexus]

no, I didn't mean unlock IRL interaction with sky players. I mean IRL people you meet... can't talk to you unless you unlock interaction with them

[slim kayak]

OOOHHH lol

[carmine thorn]

Yes, totally this. I only have two friends in live that know me on discord.

[tribal grove]

I wanna light people on fire to talk to them

[orchid nexus]

no!

[bright forge]

The IRL interaction does sound great but I feel like there may be some dangers to it...

[barren gate]

you really woke up and chose arson huh

[orchid nexus]

you're right. best not to interact IRL

[tender oasis]

I would be sad if i had to pay for unlocking hugs irl and I wouldn’t unlock piggyback with anyone for sure, my back ouch.

[kindred fossil]

i wouldn't get weird looks for suddenly getting on one knee and offer a candle to my coworker, no?

[slim kayak]

imagine having to go through the trials to unlock a faster mode of transportation irl

[bright forge]

Oof

[vapid drum]

Ever been to the bank for a new car ??? Rather have the trials

[orchid nexus]

so ktjn's list of things to consider before enabling DMs in-game:

-filtering
-spamming
-scamming
-harassment
and so on
That last point is super important. There are so many ways that DMs can work against the goals the of the game.

[bright forge]

True

[tender oasis]

However if anyone would be good with bicycle glitch irl, i can give that piggy a consideration. Getting to places fast are worth the temporary weight.
Maybe dm ability could be a friendship tree thing to unlock?

[minor falcon]

I'm going all out and unlocking irl bearhug lvl 2, wish my friends luck

[bright forge]

I really want to give away 100 of my hearts... I really have no use for them except for seasonal emotes.

[toxic spruce]

I personally don’t really like the ability to dm friends within the game, so it was really nice reading the conversation above I really like the aspect of sky where friends would randomly pop by or you just join them out of nowhere and these encounters are so special. If I can just dm a friend it kinda takes away this unique experience. I hope I explain that well if we really going to have dms, having the option to unlock it within friendship tree is pretty much a must for me

[orchid nexus]

that's a good point @toxic spruce, that enabling messages may remove the incentive to be together

[carmine thorn]

Yeah, if it ever was a feature, I would only want to be able to DM offline friends. If a friend is online, just go to them.

[haughty wyvern]

I am pleased that tgc can send me messages directly via the inbox. In order to contact the players who are particularly close to me, this inbox option would not be necessary for me. but the tgc team always has very good and surprising ideas and solutions which could make me change my mind.

[slim kayak]

for those who wouldn't like dms in the game, perhaps tgc could come up with a way to turn them off? that way you won't get random dms from your in-game friends if you don't want to. granted, we don't even know if this will be a feature yet so...

[orchid nexus]

disable entirely and block individual dm would definitely be features

[carmine thorn]

Maybe limit DMs like hearts? One to that friend a day and can't send another until marked as read?

[craggy bloom]

Note hunting isn't compating, its pretty friendly and fun
Also we have daily note highlights and question of day

[orchid nexus]

but if DM is unlocked in friendship tree, then I wonder if it would need to be tied directly to blocking player entirely. would be awkweird to have a friend who blocks DMs but you can still chat them

[slim kayak]

i guess it would be the same as blocking chat with them?

[tender oasis]

Oh the famous message has been read text. I hate that

[toxic spruce]

Hahahaha true

[vapid briar]

read receipts are the worst <_<

[toxic spruce]

I do check notes (a lot) but never considered myself a note hunter... It’s a pretty great way of seeing how ppl do and pretty hilarious to read some of my friends random jokes

[valid terrace]

ok I both want to and don’t want to get into Beta next time

[craggy bloom]

Their community is so nice and they rush if you need help thats why i love them so much

[tender oasis]

You would be surprised, some groups are pretty serious about the note hunting and counting who liked who’s etc. while others are really just combining the fun with the ability to get hearts.

[oblique mica]

Hello beta chat hope you miss me I’m here and ready to have fun

[toxic spruce]

Ikrrrrr I made so many great friends (even a few of my best sky friends) through my message shrine group

[toxic spruce]

that’s surprising and pretty sad... how do you even keep count lmao 😂

[random gull]

i think like all of my closest beta friends came from my throwing candles at everyone and from this channel chat

[sage shuttle]

i cant see it in beta updates (I prolly overlooked) but do hearts that’s we get from previous seasonal quests (I was doing sanctuary quest) now cost three candles?

[elfin raft]

Can I share this awkward conversation I had with my ||hacker|| friend? Because I remember that we shouldn't be giving them attention?

[craggy bloom]

That really hard if they really do that , i know my every friend from note hunting, strike hunters groups are really little and unstable tho

[toxic spruce]

I would love to read it but idk if you should send it out 👀

[elfin raft]

Hm I'll try posting it,hope it's okay to share

Me:hey,where did you get so many ultimate gifts?

Friend:oh well,it's seasonal and you can't get them anymore.This one for example is from season of rhythm. Btw I play on the chinese server mainly

Me:Oh then,how long did you play on chinese server?

Friend:I've been playing for 4 months already!

Me:...

[finite meteor]

they blew it themselves lmaoo

[tender oasis]

I haven’t been in any of the serious note hunting groups (I’m super lazy to do things like this daily anyway), my best friend was and shared a lot of things about that. I still see those notes in beta a lot so probably not that unstable.

[tawny badger]

I like message shrines- its really satisfying to be the 10th one liking a message from anyone.

[radiant drum]

Feels nice to be the third like too! Especially earlier in the day

[tender oasis]

When you press on a 9 likes note and 11 appears instead of 10 you can never be sure who was the real 10th.

[kindred fossil]

when that 9 turns to 149 though

[elfin raft]

I wear moth cosmetics(well except yellow cape and prairie mask) and somehow some people in beta think that I'm actually a moth and someone befriended me and unlocked chat to try to guide me (well in chinese tho,but I used a translator)
Guess I should've expected that

[tough oracle]

I read back only a little, but is the general consensus that the inbox we were supposed to check is for a DM option?

[valid terrace]

@vapid briar also aaaaa forgot to say earlier

Happy Birthday

[austere merlin]

Birthday fox 🦊

[tough oracle]

hmm interesting.. I wonder if it would be possible to only have the ability to send a DM when the player is offline. It'd be so stressful to try and talk to your friends in the server AND have DMs coming in

[vapid briar]

thank youuu~!

[valid terrace]

uh
I want to do something for this but no idea what

might draw something, it’ll probably be belated as I’m out of ideas for some reason

[tough oracle]

wouldnt DMs in the game kind of be like real life when you're talking to someone and theyre on their phone (playing sky muahah)

[austere merlin]

Hey, just wanna ask here if anyone is experiencing issues when colecting wg. When you collect the wg, does it always show that u leveled up? Also another issue with WIND on doors

||Had that issue in eden today, grabbed the light in front of the door and it didn't actually give it to me, I went through the door to refresh it and when trying to come back the wind pushes me inside the door, and if I try to go to the light it will teleport me to the second part of eden. The eden door issue has been in the game for a long time so is it intentional?||

i have been having that problem as well, both in live and beta, not sure if its a bug when it yeets you back... but i found that if you keep flying up while going back it might work but you will glitched out just fly up

[carmine thorn]

That is intended I think. It's pretty much the game telling you "no going back now." If you don't wait for the light collection sound to end, you won't collect that winged light.

[quick harbor]

me who plays with music and booster who only affects my music app

Cannot hear anything anyways mskssjsjsejwkwjs

(Edit: Also this booster thing I use so it's like I get to mute the game, so I can just listen to music without the ingame one getting in the way which is very poggers)

What do you mean by side by side screenshot?

[lusty fiber]

hi, when will the days of fortune end in beta?

[hasty gull]

Happy Birthday Ktjn

[lusty light]

Did you turning it off and on again

[primal pagoda]

If you turn that option on in your phone setting and take a screenshot in-game, two pictures will be saved on your phone. In beta though, only 1 picture is saved and that is the actual screenshot. I have both side-by-side screenshot on for beta and live

Yes I’ve done that. Maybe other ios users can help to test if it’s not working or is it just me

[gilded talon]

11 days counting from the day it started #beta-discussion message

[lusty light]

It works for me still

[carmine thorn]

Beta is a smaller server than live. Live can do a rolled maintenance to have no downtime. Servers need to take updates (OS updates, kernel fixes, etc for security reasons, stability fixes, etc), reboot, flush cache, etc.

It's not uncommon for a single or dual server setup to need downtime for this maintenance unlike the infrastructure live has (AWS iirc) where you can reroute traffic to the rest of the network and have no issues.

Happy birthday Ktjn

[spark lance]

Happy birthday Ktjn！Thank you for the all～

[uncut mulch]

Happy birthday Ktjn!!

[gilded talon]

I tried both on Live and on beta with that mode on, they both just gave me one screenshot. RIP guess I’ll have to bug report that

[kind hawk]

A complete candle run will probably get 17 candles

[manic talon]

Can you transfer beta to a different phone? or do you have to stick with the phone you downloaded with?

[fathom river]

as long as you linked your account to an email/account

[manic talon]

Ok thank you! I’ll give it a try

Oh another question, is it fine for me to use the same email link for live and beta? I don’t want to open a new email but I’m worried it may affect my live one😅

[fathom river]

hmm. I think it's okay. i used the same email to my live. also, save a recovery code just in case

[manic talon]

Okie sweet! Thanks for the help!:)

[civic cedar]

I've been waiting in the eight-person room at the prairie for over an hour.😂

[jaunty thistle]

Hey, i wanted to get rid of my beta tester roles in this discord but it doesn't seem to work, any ideas?

[prime lintel]

you already did

[jaunty thistle]

Oh wow i did. How am I still here tho

[prime lintel]

This channel isn't locked for just beta testers - the beta channels are open to everyone who wants to look. The roles were just for pings

[jaunty thistle]

Oh right im dum :stickerNoThanks:
Thanks a bunch :stickerShy:

Rip emotes bruh

[light depot]

Hope you have a great day!

[thorn delta]

Yes I do! It is always happening! Especially when I collect the wings from praire(by birds nest& sanctuary they don’t seem to always add-on!)😅😂But if you swipe off the game give it say 5 minutes then log back in the winged light will be added to the other winged light! I hope this helps?

[proud coral]

Happy Birthday Ktjn! Am I late? I must be super late! I hope you had a wonderful day and I appreciate all you do for the community!

[mental juniper]

I’m glad resize potions are getting some hints, I’ll have a look at it

[rose rampart]

Hey guys I was wondering where the dress/skirt cosmetic is from in beta, i don’t remember having collected it but it shows in my menu

[vale arrow]

Happy Birthday Ktjn

[slim kayak]

updoot???

[late mountain]

The dress cosmetic is not yet fully implemented and hasn't found a permanent home with the spirits yet. Its only in the closet to test for now

[fathom river]

yup it's currently in our closet for free. ktjin said. it was snucked in lol

[severe sluice]

Happy Birthday Ktjn

[dapper ginkgo]

“Someone yell in beta gen” as said by @slim kayak
Ok
AAAAAAAAAAAA--

[rose rampart]

Thank youuu!

[slim kayak]

that's not what i meant-

[minor falcon]

update notes in #beta-screenshots-videos

[slim kayak]

OH resize text change??? nice

[tiny umbra]

Any guesses as to which spirit ? Wasteland’s pant options(seasonal and non seasonal) are lacking

[fathom river]

oh new hint text for resize potion. maybe like "oof close to chibi lol"

[primal pagoda]

“tall but not the tallest, sorry”

[slim kayak]

new hint text: hey! i can see over your head now!
and: can you reach the top shelf for me, thanks

[fathom river]

or "oh wow, almost tall as an elder, now jump"

[primal pagoda]

or maybe “grats, you can naruto run now”

[dapper ginkgo]

[slim kayak]

i should have saved my resizes, now i can't test unless i want to go broke

beta wake up time!

[orchid yacht]

the wax crabs are gone

[lapis ore]

I wonder what took their place

[slim kayak]

only one way to find out

[primal pagoda]

probably 🎁

[orchid yacht]

wait an hour to get the update

[late mountain]

No idea as of yet, you could leave feedback about that option though if you would like?

[mental juniper]

I see no difference in resize potions’ text
You feel a little taller/shorter, a lot taller/shorter
*used 5 btw

[deft belfry]

nooooo why get rid of kreb

[orchid yacht]

free boats in sleepy traveller?

[stray elk]

Packets, gift boxes, lanterns, WHAT REPLACED THE CRAB

[pliant fog]

DID SOMEONE JUST CALL THE ALMIGHTY TALLEST OF THE IRKEN EMPIRE?

[tribal grove]

THE KREBSSS NOOOO

[fathom river]

"i see you want to be tallest, here you go, chibi"

[shadow stream]

RIP krebs

[orchid yacht]

"you feel almost the same" LOL what a waste

[lyric wadi]

So the dragon won't drop crabs?!
NOOOOOO
IT WAS SUCH A CREATIVE LITTLE DETAILLLL
We even burst them in vault secret area on events!!!
That's not fairrrr

[marble fog]

I just woke up and it’s 12:40AM from this thing

[shadow stream]

I feel that the TGC are secretly crab fans and are outraged by the sudden increase of crab violation

[mental juniper]

It would be cool if they implement a real height measurement among the 4000 heights, because if the tallest one is 1.20m and you use a potion a text that says “you’re height is 1.12 or something”, so you can really notice if you got taller or smaller, right now is very ambiguous

[spark lance]

someone got on my seesaw this is the happiest moment of my life

[shadow stream]

Who said that lol

[marble fog]

Gn all stay safe haha DONT WAKE ME UP

[pliant fog]

Night!

[buoyant wasp]

Probably it wasn't meant to be crabs all along, it was just a placeholder to we test earlier, design choices

[fathom river]

"you felt you got taller, but you didn't" lol

[lyric wadi]

How on earth is that Animal cruelty. Following this logic eden is human cruelty, krills are animal cruelty, crabs in gw are also cruelty etc
I liked the crab detail which they removed 😭

[daring gate]

It’s not animal cruelty if the crabs aren’t real crabs

Anyway everyone has wanted crabs in homespace since the beginning of time

[formal hedge]

Why everytime I come to check in here there's a lot of people writing... How you guys do it

[orchid yacht]

so I'm guessing it's on the hour now?

[shadow stream]

Not surprised if SJWs did this xD almost everything is a controversy to them so a simple exploding crab would be animal cruelty

[fathom river]

yup some people put it in the feedback tho. i was saddened too. my fire CRABckers are gone

[daring gate]

Well the revolution of feedback begins. Operation BBC. (Bring back crab)

[lapis ore]

I just got large changes with my meager four resizes “you feel a lot taller” and “you feel a lot shorter”

[orchid yacht]

who knows, maybe this might be better than crabs

[minor falcon]

maybe it drops oranges? I'm still updating

[gilded parrot]

did someone say ?

[gilded talon]

Updaaaate! And happy birthday the one and only amazing Ktjn~ 🎉

[lyric wadi]

No! We say we miss firecrackers crabs

[orchid yacht]

firecrabbers

[primal pagoda]

🔥

[fathom river]

what if the dragon are now dropping the smoke krills from fire trial and then they start wiggling. hahaha

[buoyant wasp]

Village's snow looks really nice and clean now

[pliant fog]

How does one do a trial?

[shadow stream]

Plot twist they're gonna change the firecracker crabs to firecracker krills lol

[daring gate]

Firecrackrill

[primal pagoda]

you can enter 4 trials in prophecy cave located in isle just before you fly into the temple

[fathom river]

from fire CRABckers to firecraKRILL

[pliant fog]

I see

[wanton vine]

What is the new schedule for the dragon?

[pale junco]

Also this chat isn't for asking questions plus you might get some beta spoilers. You can ask in #questions-and-help

[daring gate]

That’s not a good idea this is beta content and that channel is not for that! Ask here. (Generally speaking)

[lapis ore]

Well the trials aren’t beta content though

[spark lance]

oh no dev take the skirt back

[pliant fog]

I wish I realized I was in the wrong channel...

[vapid briar]

That has nothing to do with it, and your comment isn't constructive nor does it adhere to community guidelines of treating situations with kindness.

We had a design, we implemented it. We didn't like how it played out and made changes to suit our needs and design intent. It's totally okay to be disappointed by the change but making baseless accusations to stoke some false narrative around outrage culture does nothing but stir drama.

[mental juniper]

Do any of you know what’s the reason purpose of having 4000 heights other than making you spend hell of a candles?

Please Ktjn, try to implement a different system to measure height, as you might notice since forever, people want to be tall or short, we all have different preferences and it is really exhausting/depressing to spend ac for months waiting for that potion to be the last one to reach your desired height and feel bumped out and being stucked in a height that you don’t want, maybe you don’t feel like playing until you get more potions and try again after 1 week
Also maybe decrease the amount of heights? 4000 using probability is a very low success rate?

[daring gate]

I forgot about that. I thought you meant the other question sorry.

[shadow stream]

Oh ok then sorry

[south oyster]

Just tried out the resize potion thing and it said you feel like you barely changed oof

[fathom river]

hahahaha that is so fun

[dapper ginkgo]

GUYS GUYS

YOU CAN SKIP THE CUTSCENE BEFORE THE RACES
