beta-discussion

[exotic sentinel]

I don’t like the new account settings system :((

[carmine thorn]

What do you dislike about it? I actually like how, at a glance, I can see which accounts are linked to my Sky ID. (Except Nintendo doesn't say your Nintendo ID name). It's also a bit cleaner and intuitive. Are you running into any bugs or something.

[exotic sentinel]

I can’t link my account with game center

[carmine thorn]

You should be able to. I would bug report it.

[primal pagoda]

It is in #beta-known-issues

[exotic sentinel]

Also my little sister is playing in my iPad we were switching accounts so if this system comes to live She will not be able to play anymore 🙁

[sick pendant]

WHAT THE PROPS COULD DO

this will also be posted in feedback later. As for now I'm doing this to discuss and gather ideas

-BOOKSHELF
Can display up to 6 spells (2on each shelf). Depending on the type of spell they appear as one of the 3 variations on the sleepy traveller's boats. Spells can be taken be seen by anyone. Only friends can collect the spells you displayed, spells are free to collect. You can only use this 6 times per 24 hours. Aka you can only give away 6 spells.
This will develop a new economic line of spell trading, where people would sell spells for hearts. I personally don't see a problem with this but.

-POT
When placed the pot has a wax seal. After burning the seal up to 11 butterflies spawn. Since butterflies are creatures of light and our capes are made of light here's a fun little mechanic that will be lovely
The amount of butterflies spawn is the amount of wedges you have. Aka if you have 5 wedges only 5 butterflies will spawn. The colour of the butterflies is the colour of your cape you had when you placed the pot. This will highlight the fact of butterflies being created from light.

-HEXAGON HOOP
Giving it the ability to fully charge the character without any need of "initial ignition", like for example the torch needs, would be overpowered so its understandable why it doesn't have that functionality.
Instead it can act like a portal to help reduce cr timing. It can spawn a portal in the place it was placed.

For example.

-I enter the sanctuary islands
-I place the hoop and go do my cr
-When I'm done I replace my hoop and as I walk through it I am teleported back to the first place it was placed.

If I place it for the 3rd time and go through I'll be teleported to the 2nd placement

.

Sorry for the text wall
Please ping if you have any ideas or comments so I can find them more easily.

[steep ember]

Are you going to buy the natures day cape ?

[spark lance]

-HEXAGON HOOP > this is a good idea for teleport or placeshifting.

but for the bookshelf:
I am not in favor of having trades in there since people can also price their ultimate if they want to. I think this will spoil the unique game setting. Or charge people for the free spells that tgc gives us.. .-.

I thought it could allow us to carry more than one prop more than 1 time on our back. Or a closet for us to change our clothes. XD that would be good as well

[dapper ginkgo]

I was thinking closet as well.

[sick pendant]

U can only place spells in them and your friends can take it without giving any hearts. That's how the mechanic works.

It's intended like the gift heart
I just mentioned the possibility of people using it as a way to trade spells for hearts

[viral atlas]

This is actually not too much to ask
i applaud for your idea but still it may be too much work for them and tgc just want to keep things simple and don't want to take any new ideas into consideration. so i don't see any of these happening

for all we know tgc can just say, oh they are for asthetic purposes and be done with it.

But your perspective is not too bad and it's a pretty believable argument. 👏

[spark lance]

Sorry, I do feel that it opens up more grey zone that is to be monitored rather than just good intentions. Sorry for disturb you before you sleep but yeah... we would have different ideas on it though.

[sick pendant]

As for the spells
Not all spells you get are for free. I was thinking about my resize spells which I get from spirits and don't really use since I have my desired size. It would be nice to be able to give them away

[cosmic orchid]

I really wanna give away all my resize potions lmao

[spark lance]

I'm not sure, coz some might do what you have suggested.. spells for hearts... >_> not sure we would wanna open up another grey zone to be monitored...if any... we also can friend people at anytime with qrcode

[pliant sparrow]

Yes! I would love the option to gift them to a friend 👍🏼 I never use those potions myself, but have a good friend who’s nuts for them 😋

[sick pendant]

I personally don't see a problem with trading spells for hearts

It's like heart trading. It's intended to be a gift but trading is always an option.

Not all spells you get are for free. Sometimes you have to buy spells to get the cosmetics you want and sicne you don't use the spells you can give them away. And besides I'm sure noone will be buying spells that much anyways since we can always buy them from ark so it's more less balanced

[timid bough]

people are definitely going to trade for resize potions

[sick pendant]

Yes but I doubt they'll trade for more than 2 hearts. Cuz all you gotta do is wait for another week and go collect some AC

[timid bough]

in my opinion they aren't just gonna make more complicated things just to monitor just to add functionality to a bookshelf

[sick pendant]

||we can actually build a pop up shop with these new props ||

[spark lance]

dun mind me saying... would it clutter the area with all the people's bookshelf? just like other mmorpg

[sick pendant]

isn't it already cluttered with bookshelfs?

Only your friends can pick up the spells from the bookshelf

[steady pond]

people would probably AFK with their bookshelves out in the open for hrs lol

[sick pendant]

Only 6 spells can be displayed in 24 hours

Only friends can pick up spells

To pick up spells you don't need to do/give anything

[steady pond]

ok, so AFK for 24 hours then

[timid bough]

i'd rather not have people trying to sell me stuff in sky other than spirits

[sick pendant]

I don't think your spells can stay unclaimed for that long anyway

unless you don't have active friends

[steady pond]

yeah but its not like people were active under the tree for the 8 whole hours theyve been there. home servers gonna be cluttered w/ bookshelves and AFKers all the same kind of like.. maplestory marketplaces but if you know what im talking about you deserve a veterans discount

[gilded parrot]

@steady pond do you know a veterinarian? My crab friend is sick and needs medical attention

[spark lance]

sellers will stay online... i dun think the bookshelf will go away once your free spells have been fully claimed... it is just like the sellers from the mmorpg though

[cosmic orchid]

me: places bookshelf by the infront of the boat shop

[steady pond]

im all for trading spells to friends but i think it'd be better if they were exchanged face-to-face :D

[spark lance]

I am not against your idea but I feel that it will encourage more unhealthy activities. But if tgc were to bring it out, that has nothing to do with me probably...

[steady pond]

also the hoop teleportation thing just reminded me of how the recent update patched the isle teleportation trick :( it made runs like 1 min faster with that lolz

[ashen tundra]

In my opinion, i think it would be nice to have the bookshelf store crabs again

But sadly that would cause some griefing because of the solidness, that's probably why it's been removed.

About the pot, it would be pretty cute if it had a seal and just 1 or 2 butterflies will come out to be fair and not overpowered.

As for the hoop, im pretty happy to how it is

I just want the pot to look like a pot on the back atleast even with no function. It would look so cute and i would being it everywhere with me just for that

I already placed feedback about it

[sick pendant]

I dont see a problem in opening a pop up shop with your friends and these new props. It would be something.

And about the cluttering with bookshelfs. You'd want an empty server so your friends can actually merge to you. So if i were to trade some spells and I saw that there's already a bookshelf in the server I'd try to enter another one

||marketing 101||

[chrome ivy]

I think the backpack should not completely remove instead to be a Standalone prop. You can bring two or three props or even lend the prop to other friend with same backpack equipped

[steady pond]

if TGC is trying to discourage AFKing for long periods of time i doubt the bookshelf thing is ever going to be considered
feel free to save my comment and then use it against me if it ever happens though

[chrome ivy]

AFK system is pointless. Because #looking-for-group-live uber is actually let someone help you cr and you semi or fully AFK.

[sick pendant]

Well, first of all the afk system is against afk wax collecting. Tgc doesn't have a problem with ppl sleeping in sky.

Besides. To trade you'd need to be present
And if you're not trading and have active friends then your spells won't stay unclaimed for too long....

So why would you afk next to the bookshelf?

[ashen tundra]

OH i just got an idea for the bookshelf actually.

Since there isnt a closet in vault (aside from office here in beta) it would be nice when we take the bookshelf out the "cape" icon will appear and we will be able to only change capes with it.

[silent lily]

Tbh, when the season started, i always thought all props will get at least some functionality sooner or later.
But that never happened :SkyShrug:

[steady pond]

Tgc doesn't have a problem with ppl sleeping in sky.
We’ve noticed that players will leave their phone on overnight... This behavior is socially disengaging and takes away opportunities from players who want to chat and connect with others who have come to admire the tree.
why would you afk next to the bookshelf
people would AFK to wait for their friends to go to them, we cant predict player behaviour tbh theres so much that can go wrong xD

[chrome ivy]

Bookshelf are purely cosmetic and gain no competitive advantage

[silent lily]

I really don't know how a jar, a shelf are good things for decoration purposes

[spark lance]

honestly speak.... while we are talking about the props...

while we are having a discussion with functionality.
Please think about those iap that has a functionality but cost is exp..

While this season only have tons of props and cost lesser than your prop iap.. >_> doubt the season's props functionality is going to come also.

[tawdry pine]

Some like the small things

[mental otter]

it's not like we can put multiple props at once to set up a nice place to hang out in either

[silent lily]

Yeah, so honestly speaking, ||i don't see the point behind them||
And now that they're in live, i doubt anything will change.

[vapid briar]

what exactly is pathetic about a bug?

[chrome ivy]

Maybe Bookshelf can put your owned cosmetic?

[drifting atlas]

Am I the only one who doesn't really care if the props has a functionality each and just hoards all of them?

[sick pendant]

"takes away opportunities from players who want to chat and connect"

"people would afk to wait for friends to go to them"

I'm just putting these things next to each other.

[vapid briar]

ignis, your ideas are lovely, but they really belong in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived

[steady pond]

yeah no im just pointing out the AFK system was implemented to discourage long periods of not .. doing anything in the game (and therefore being against people who leave sky on overnight while sleeping)

[tawdry pine]

That's my case Tiny jar makes brain happy

[tall oar]

y e s

[spark lance]

time for me to sneak out as I don't belong here

[sick pendant]

I was just trying to see them from other perspectives and I actually did.

Thank you everyone for discussing I'll definetly evolve these ideas

[chrome ivy]

Who leave sky open anyway? To cook thing's on it?

[silent lily]

Haha i really thought we can have butterflies come out of the jar and they can recharge us

[drifting atlas]

Though, the bookshelf idea isn't really great since AFK players yknow

[timid bough]

to cook eggs

[steady pond]

i do and thats why i dont like the AFK system 😔

[chrome ivy]

If I doing something I will call uber and leave it open but won't leave it overnight. It's pointless before the days of Bloom oc

[sick pendant]

Well. No giving away my resize spells

[little hound]

Earth day cape pweeeease and days of healing flower

[drifting atlas]

Anyway the ocean cape looks great, would most likely buy it on Live when it comes out along with the shell necklace

[silent lily]

I don't see them coming back since they were limited time items for charity.
So, like a gift of gratitude to those who helped the world!

[sick pendant]

I wonder if it was inspired from kanagawa wave

[chrome ivy]

Days of Krills. krill head for in game currency or ktjn head as IAP

[vapid briar]

I'm guessing no one has noticed the purchase screen for the earth cape changed have they?

[timid bough]

it is inspired by that if you read the days of nature blog post

[sleek pelican]

They did say it's inspired from great wave painting(?)

[mental otter]

i believe it was

[drifting atlas]

Haven't went on beta today, will check that out

[little hound]

WHAT

[sick pendant]

Oh... Where? Haven't noticed that

[empty inlet]

all brought the cape in the first second

[chrome ivy]

[steady pond]

in addition to #beta-faq no one reads blogposts anymore huh 😔

[slim kayak]

i had the cape last year

[hollow compass]

I can't see anything in the shop. it's just empty.

[sleek pelican]

Aaaaaaa call the moffsss to shareee

[empty inlet]

*bought, not gonna edit the original message

[mental otter]

We were especially excited to be able to design a cape modeled after waves. During the concepting phase we had many cool ideas, but this design (which is inspired by the famous Japanese print “The Great Wave'') was the team’s favorite.
from days of nature blog post http://bit.ly/SkyDaysofNature

[vapid briar]

that is true, if you already had the cape, you wouldn't be able to check for 2021 changes.

[hollow compass]

What was in the blog post, do you mean? 😮

[chrome ivy]

I think I buy the earth cape when I accidentally open shop and found earth cape. Before the 165515

[vapid briar]

the preview blog for days of nature had a bunch of interesting development tidbits about the ocean cape

[little hound]

But I didn’t have the cape. I became a beta tester in prophecy

[vapid briar]

you need to go to the office to see it, like prior legacy items.

[hollow compass]

Oh, sorry, I thought there was some glaring detail we had all missed about the Earth Day cape in the blog post and was so confused.

[slim kayak]

oh yeah, the blog post was an interesting read. nice to see that gender neutral options are being considered and made

[little hound]

OH MY GOD. YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY IT WILL COME BAck

[chrome ivy]

I can get you in if you want go to office

[hollow compass]

Oh, LEGACY items! I like that phrase.

[drifting atlas]

When you forgot to update beta and now you gotta wait just a little longer:

[chrome ivy]

Why the music intro bug still a thing? It's very unsatisfy when hearing intro sound when open Sky

[hollow compass]

Ok, now I'm confused again. What blog post is that?

[little hound]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH I can’t believe my eyes. My beta kid is wearing the earth cape

[steady pond]

http://bit.ly/SkyDaysofNature this one
the shell necklace was supposed to have pearls but was redesigned to be more gender neutral

[vapid briar]

this one https://thatskygame.com/news/event-preview-days-of-nature

[mental otter]

The necklace was inspired by cowrie shell necklaces, which remind us of the beach. Check out the concept art above — left is the original concept sketch for this accessory, but to make it simpler and more gender-neutral, we removed the pearls, and the shell was made more interesting.

[vapid briar]

lye2fast

[slim kayak]

you both are too fast

[hollow compass]

Pearls are gendered?

[steady pond]

i guess its a much more feminine accessory since pearl necklaces/earrings whatnot were for women especially in the olden days.. retro era... or something like that

[hollow compass]

Oh, ok. Well, I like the design as it is now, so never mind. 🙂

[slim kayak]

unfortunately, a lot of cultures and media consider pearls as feminine. it was probably a decision to ditch the pearls just in case

[vapid briar]

not in and of themselves, but pearl necklaces would probably be considered traditionally feminine.

[tall oar]

wot

[sick pendant]

Fun fact

Earrings and high heels were actually masculine back in the time

[little hound]

OMG your pfp is adorbs. Happy birthday jjongnim

But okay back to sky topic.
Ocean cape + earth day cape is about 20 dollars. That’s ... about 1000 php

[vapid briar]

so were stockings and corsets

and the color pink

[spark lance]

Pink is hawt now with all the male kstars wearing pink XDDD

[sick pendant]

KTJN HIGH HEELS IN SKY WHEN BRUH

[mental otter]

wait so earth cape really is coming to live?

[little hound]

Praying to the elders they will.

[steady pond]

:D more 🪑ities for us to donate to

[slim kayak]

i would think running from krills in heels would hurt

[hollow compass]

Ask all female superheroes ever...

[mental otter]

ooh, now i'm tempted to buy it just cause it looks nice (and i actually can save enough money for it) decisions decisions..

[carmine thorn]

Weren't heeled shoes originally for butchers so their feet wouldn't.... Hmm, shouldn't continue that

[sleek pelican]

We can throw it at krills

[vapid briar]

running in heels is easier than walking in them tbh

[little hound]

this is true. Tried and tested.

[vapid briar]

think of how your foot hits the ground when you sprint

[slim kayak]

i can't do anything in heels. which is why i avoid them at all costs

[sick pendant]

beauty requires sacrifice

[mental otter]

can confirm, sometimes you don't feel that you're in heels at all

[hollow compass]

In my old dancing days, I once performed an improvisation in a trainstation wearing a formal suit and high heels

[sleek pelican]

Can't relate i always wear sneakers

[spark lance]

> my heels drops off when I try to run with them.. >>

[steady pond]

walking slowly in heels is really hard and thats why people who do catwalks have to practice so much to walk in them in style

[mental otter]

what's harder is standing in heels for an extended amount of time..

[sick pendant]

Besides do I need to remind you that out of all elders wasteland elder is the one with heels

[little hound]

Any chance that the dress cosmetic might get a revamp? Say, it comes with the gladiators that the spirits wear too?

[pure path]

What a lovely beta conversation to wake up to
Morning y'all! How'd we end up talking about heels?

[wooden raptor]

If I really have to wear heels, I prefer running too

[tough swallow]

Excuse me Skybot, what the

[sick pendant]

Oh and the clicking sound everytime when we walk on stone.... Oooof sky asmr on another level

[mental otter]

started from the shell cosmetic for days of nature, then other items/accessories were discussed afterwards and here we are

[hollow compass]

Speaking of sound, why do the pots by that geyser not make the same sound as the pots in shipwreck?

[sick pendant]

👠

[pure path]

Ah thank you Meg

[little hound]

The sound of their stilettos make in the marble lobby is like ‘Clack clack clack clack clack’. And the clackers just ... WORSHIP HERRR

[mental otter]

it doesn't? that's an interesting detail

[sick pendant]

✨f a s h i o n✨
We need a long dress and high heels

[tough swallow]

Skykids with high heels ? Ok now this is epic

[sick pendant]

I have one better
||CHIBIS ON HIGH HEELS||

[little hound]

That was from Devil Wears Prada by the way

[sick pendant]

is there some reason that my coffee isn't here? Has she died or something?

[hollow compass]

Yeah, I noticed it yesterday while waiting for the geyser to pollute.

[mental otter]

i'll have to check it out for myself then

[little hound]

Sometimes I feel like beta gen chat is where the adults chill

[haughty pine]

A random question: so when reporting a bug, y'all know that "expectation" column? Am I supposed to put what sort of bug I'd expect to happen again if TGC follows the reproduction steps in that column, or am I supposed to put what I was expecting to happen instead of what the bug did?

[slim kayak]

expectation is what you think the game is supposed to do if there was no bug

[mystic elm]

it's the latter: what you expect normally if the bug didn't happen

[tough swallow]

It’s what you expected to happens

[sick pendant]

Huh... I always fill in as what you expect to happen when you follow the steps

[haughty pine]

Like, I just reported a bug where I bumped into a bench and suddenly clipped OoB -- am I supposed to say "if you bump into this bench in the way I did, I expect that you'll fall through the ground" or "I expect to not fall through the floor when I bump into benches"?

Edit: huh, okay cool, thanks!

[vapid briar]

the latter

[regal niche]

ktjn will the purple umbrella be removed?

[vapid briar]

what you would expect to happen if the bug was not occurring.

[sick pendant]

Lol I've been expecting bugs from tgc this whole time

[sleek pelican]

Now i imagine the one reading would laugh so u want the bug to stay eh 😂

[mental otter]

interesting that skybot says this:

When following the steps you gave, what did you expect to happen?

[tough swallow]

Hello Ktjn

[haughty pine]

Yeah, which is why I was confused. The wording seems ambiguous enough to where you could interpret it either way.

[slim kayak]

yeah, the wording states that you expected something normal to happen, but a bug happened instead. although i get how that might be a little confusing

[sick pendant]

Probably that's why all bugs I report don't get fixed for a month or so

[tough swallow]

Or just you’re write for this step : meh idk bro

[vapid briar]

it will likely be deactivated again once we figure out what's causing it to be there.

[haughty pine]

Also, am I the only person who derives amusement from giving their bug reports ridiculous titles and being all like "yah I generally expect to not plummet into the void or turn into a demonic matchstick"?

[sick pendant]

Meh

[vapid briar]

I'm sure the QA folks get a chuckle, I certainly do.

[sleek pelican]

Ngl i wanted to do this but i always held back

[sick pendant]

This is how I'll be reporting bugs from now on

[mental otter]

i keep bug reports at a professional tone so no i've never done that

[fluid kelp]

I has question. How do we pronounce Ktjn name

[sick pendant]

[Alekhandro]

[slim kayak]

bring out the whiteboard

[sleek pelican]

There was a post about it somewhere

[mental otter]

off we go to find that post

[regal niche]

Hopefully it will stay there. It reminded of the good old times with my 'old' beta friends

[slim kayak]

#general-sky-discussion message

[fluid kelp]

Been reading their name as KrillJin in my mind actually

[sick pendant]

Ktjn [soup']

[tropic radish]

Ah yes, soup, our beloved community Dev
( I usually catch myself saying it letter by letter at the end, K-T-J-N )

[mental otter]

got the link but it seems aeras is faster

[tough swallow]

For my part I pronounce Ktjn with French tone, like Kitjine

[sick pendant]

Katy Jane

[sleek pelican]

If i were to call ktjn as soup how do i greet her? 'sup soup?

[fluid kelp]

skksksksks sounds like a nice name

[hollow compass]

We're really unfocused here today!

[haughty pine]

I'm calling Ktjn Soup from now on.

Also, quick question on the topic of bug reports: if I can see just from looking that like 30 people have already submitted a bug report, but it's not in known issues yet, do I still need to submit a bug report? Like, I think it's common knowledge by now that the sit-emote is broken, but do I still need to report a bug report for it since I can't lay down?

[mental otter]

for me i only not report bugs (both live and beta) if it's already in the known issues channels, regardless if multiple people have reported it already

[vapid briar]

new one for the board

[sick pendant]

I've noticed I'm spending more time here than actually playing sky

[slim kayak]

even if its in known issues, it's usually a good idea to still report common bugs, as things like device type and os version can play a role in the bug. although if its in known issues, you don't have to report it

[pale junco]

Ktjn= three krills in a trenchcoat 😌 it's long but it's the most accurate pronunciation
Oh wait reset, imma head out

[sick pendant]

How to pronounce Ktjn?
K-||R-I-L-L||

[stuck urchin]

This is the first time in awhile I didn’t make beta unu does anyone know why they only did 1 wave?

[worn field]

i pronounce “ktjn” as “shofgouaoasif” am i the only one

[sleek pelican]

I think like, if it's not in known-issues yet, even if tons of people reported, they might still need some more info

[haughty pine]

K-||S-O-U-P||

[hollow compass]

The invite system was remade to be more needs based. So there aren't access wipes as such anymore.

Can we stop now...?

[little hound]

If Earth cape is making a comeback, and all the other past IAPs have made a comeback, then Days of Healing flower is going to make a comeback too??? Please please please

[chrome ivy]

Maybe

[sick pendant]

Y'ALL MISSED A NAME

||KACHOW||

[sick pendant]

Go off lightning mcqueen ktjn

[chrome ivy]

I think we should stop here. By the way anyone have actually have a idea about functionality of bookcase

[fluid kelp]

props- lock em chibi in there, oops i mean as display

[slim kayak]

its an upright table with no chairs.~~ just kidding. ~~

[chrome ivy]

I have a idea.Rework the bookcase to an inventory system. When you unlock the bookcase you can show your collection of cosmetics you collect on the sky adventure. You can set everyone can see it or only friends can see it

[pure path]

I thought it would be a portable mini-closet

[vapid briar]

a bookshelf isn't a closet though

[chrome ivy]

It's very useful to show off you have something very rare things. I talking to you

[pure path]

Can't argue with that

[sick pendant]

We don't have books tho

[chrome ivy]

Or maybe you can store your digital books. Online class in sky

[fluid kelp]

for the new update about the tier two capes tho. quite for some time, i had hoped the black cape tier 2 would have white lines at the end while the white cape tier 2 has black lines at the end. when its finally released in beta. my mind went " i did not expect this". pink cape tier 2 is pretty tho

[pale junco]

so- we can't carry 10 items in our backpack but we can carry a whole bookshelf filled with stuff

[chrome ivy]

This essentially make bookshelf as backpack thus defeat the purpose of bookshelf existence

[carmine thorn]

Maybe, limited to one cosmetic. Bookshelf for capes only.

[pale junco]

But it's not my idea ._.

[pure path]

I was going to say other props and then realized the functionality hell that would cause

[chrome ivy]

Change capes on move when your current cape is out of light and don't have any light source to recharge it

[pale junco]

We don't know if that kind if functionality is even possible

[wooden raptor]

I think having watched inspector gadget in past, one can’t help but wish for more

[sick pendant]

That's too over powered

And besides that seems to be what hoop does in the threehouse. Yet our hoop doesn't do it.

Notice how every prop that recharges you needs an initial ignition. Meaning if ur completely out of flame and in null props can't help

Besides notice that bookshelf is not in seasonal section but in QG tree, meaning it's something EVERYONE will need. Like the table

What are you planning TGC.....

[white latch]

Glitch in that bookshelf and let us go brrrrrr

[pure path]

I mean it could just be a decoration thing, doesn't need to have a functionality added to it

[sick pendant]

For the pillow yes....

But for a massive prop like bookshelf it doesn't feel natural

[modern pebble]

But if so, it's kind of.. boring -.- They would be the first props that have no function

[pale junco]

I have an idea what if bookshelf can be a chat item for two people, like we stand near the bookshelf and chat with another person

[fluid kelp]

I has another random question, if live channel aren't allowed to talk about the eden without spoiler tag, is beta allowed to? edit: i see people spoiler tag about it in beta it makes me go "????"

[modern pebble]

Beta itself is a spoiler

[pale junco]

You can tag if you want but spoilers are expected here

[white latch]

I gave them about that feedback last month, nothing changed oof

[sleek pelican]

Talking about props remind me of that game where u hide yourself as props and others will hunt will sky have this?

[slim kayak]

everything in beta is a spoiler, so it would be a little disruptive if everything here had a spoiler tag on it. also, its midnight, time for me to sneep

[pure path]

Bookshelf isn't the first item to not have a function, a couple other assembly items also don't. Why would all props have a function tho? Why not just be a decoration too?

And yes I agree the bookshelf really doesn't feel that much like a decoration, I would like it to have something added to it too, but I find no issue with it just not having a function.

[modern pebble]

I meant that all props before Assembly have some function

[chrome ivy]

Not everything needs to be function. Because bookshelf are not AP only and IAP or something that you need to pay it.

[tight bloom]

I just dont see the reason to bring non functional props with me. Like, sure it could be for decoration. But what would I decorate with 1 shelf anyway

[sick pendant]

The pillow can be just a decoration. Cuz it is essentially.

However something like a bookshelf without a function feels incomplete and redundant to me

Be completely honest

Would u wear the bookshelf or for example the torch?

[pure path]

I think the devs are specifically trying to break this idea that props need a function. That's why we're seeing these items in assembly. Just my take on it

[fluid kelp]

i'd wear it as fashion for fun, torch too, tho seldom

[modern pebble]

The torch is also not AP and has the most OP function of this season

[sleek pelican]

I mean if u have some friends to playhouse with, bookshelf can be useful

[wooden raptor]

I don’t think every items needs a functionality but since we can’t place more than one prop at the same, we will need help from our friends to build a camp for us to entertain. The issue here is not all of props are “chat props” most are just a ghost to other players. And this also effects the visuality. So it limits the experience of camping and that’s why I think at least it would be great if my friend would be able to jump on my tent or lay down under it while not being affected by rain as I do (p.s.: I have sent my feedback long ago)

[sick pendant]

I just realised.....

[zenith wasp]

this looks like a perfect opportunity to leave some #beta-feedback :)

[pure path]

The no collision thing I definitely agree with. I really wish there was a way that could be handled properly and with preventing griefing in mind

[sick pendant]

Notice how the bookshelf was moved from seasonal to non seasonal.
Meaning we can simply not buy it and still get the ult cape

This means 2 things

1. TGC has something so important that everyone will be needing the bookshelf

2. TGC realised that functionless prop that we have to buy to get the cape will make a lot of ppl upset and angry so they gave us the option of buying it.

If you don't like it you can skip it ands still get the ults

[little hound]

Wait a sec. how do I get to the invisible cape?

[real hull]

big brain time

[fluid kelp]

ah, like a button icon on the item for other players to be able to turn it visible and able to stand on it or make contact with it. its not good to directly making it visible on the go as there might be trollers who will block entrance or lock you in their cosmetic items.

[sick pendant]

9️⃣ 9️⃣ 9️⃣

[little hound]

What?

[real hull]

lmao

[mental ridge]

I personally feel a bit disappointed with some props not having a function. Might be because I’m used to them always being functional in one way or another, but I would always choose a functional item over something that isn’t functional if I had a choice. Also, for items that are meant to be just a decoration, most of those props seem a bit too simple and plain to me. They feel unfinished. And I would be much more ok with it if we got -for example- the little chains of lights that are around the treehouse as a decoration, since they do feel like an actual decoration, and make things feel super cozy. And yes, the collision thing, definitely. That being said, it’s just my opinion and in the end I’m not going to be super against it if they do leave things as they are, although I sure will not use them personally ^^

[sick pendant]

Go to eden, die, ascend, unlock vault, it costs 999 hearts

[tight bloom]

I'd rather have more capes than non fuctional props 👀

[real hull]

yea, but I think bookshelf can protect from krill thats kinda usefull.. kinda

[sick pendant]

Be completely honest

What's the situation you'd choose the bookshelf over any other item. For example the piano or the torch

[craggy bloom]

But they're great for roleplaying

[little hound]

Meh. Those props are fun to play house with friends.

[shut jacinth]

For taking.photos 🤣

[sleek pelican]

YOOOO have u heard about greenie cape

[shut jacinth]

What happened :0 pls tell 😭

[little hound]

Time to trade hearts with friends. Imma get that invisible cape

[mental ridge]

I’m pretty sure it’s been mentioned in known issues as a bug that hasn’t been fixed yet though, so I doubt it’s intentional

[sick pendant]

What if
||THE PROPS ARE JUST DECORATIONS FOR US TO CREATE SCENES IN SKY STUDIO ||

[real hull]

ohh sorry

[wooden raptor]

Bookshelf really helps when you want to be at the same height as the spirits. Makes some good photos. Also storing friends in it always fun.

[fluid kelp]

i mean, it's inner child season. go creative with em props, i got shelf for fun edit: ooof didnt mean to reply to your message. sorry ahahha

[tight bloom]

Poor bookshelf getting slammed. But honestly, for me the empty "butterfly" jar is worse.

[spark lance]

@wooden raptor Slm

[sick pendant]

Don't worry we slammed it aswell

[mental ridge]

Last time a friend ‘stored’ me in her bookshelf and I did the giggle emote, the entire lower part of my body was apparently folding into itself on her end looked a tiny bit disturbing ww

[real hull]

did someone know butterfly jar function? I haven't get that

[vapid briar]

has anyone noticed that when they equip the orange and log out it becomes unequipped upon next login?

[pale junco]

Imma try it now

[sick pendant]

Gonna try it right now

[sleek pelican]

I thought that was the nerf was it not?

[sick pendant]

Yes. It unequipped itself

[vapid briar]

excellent

[pale junco]

Yes, it gets unequipped
Aslo ktjn the daily tip/message stays for a short while after clicking the play button could this be a bug?

[sick pendant]

Was it supposed to?

[vapid briar]

it might be, try and record it and submit a bug report, the team can check on it in the morning.

[fluid kelp]

also lately, are there android users who experienced a minor bug too? where you have 3 chevrons, with the 1st chevron is slightly apart than the other two? I think it appeared for me after the Days of Nature update.

[real hull]

but I'm not

[vapid briar]

yes the orange is supposed to become unequipped to unstuck people who put on the outfit setups that freeze iOS devices and cause android players to become invisible.

[wooden raptor]

I may have missed the info on this but I’d like to ask about bow tie. I think it was replaced as feast bow tie. Is it still like that? Because whenever I wore it it was sanctuary bow tie and I can’t wear feast bow tie on my closet anymore

[vapid briar]

this is a temp fix intended for Live that doesn't need a patch because it be done on the back end until the 0.13.3 patch is ready to be released with the permanent fix.

That was the first fix attempt but testers found a second outfit set that would have the same bug. both outfit sets had the orange in common so we disabled the orange.

[sleek pelican]

Orange is taking vacation for a while

[fluid kelp]

sad orange

[robust hawk]

i'm hoping the b+w tier 2 capes will be included in the next Live patch.. 🤞

[spark lance]

i just came back from work and i try to download the update but everytime i get on it say again to update it i think something wrong with my phone

[real hull]

expensive cape

[robust hawk]

it's so worth it..

[spark lance]

ouh

[spark lance]

is the build on 165592?

[fluid kelp]

300 hearts here we come

[real hull]

wait, we have tier 2 pink cape too right?

[spark lance]

UPDATE OK I FIXED IT YAY IT DOWNLOAD IT and yes krillyori just my phone is kinda slow AAAAAA THE CAPE IS AMAZING OMG I CANT WAIT TO BUY IT ON LIVE

[robust hawk]

might be included as well

[spark lance]

omg they changed the backpacks yoo thats so cool is like i have a stick on my back

the hammock looks like im about to hang clothes at like sanctuary islands

[sick pendant]

Gurl you have a lot to catch on

[sleek pelican]

I really like that hammock on the back

[spark lance]

I KNOWW I KNOWW I WAS AT WORK AND I SAW KTJN SAY WE HAVE UPDATE I WAS SCREAMING

[timid inlet]

Where’s the hammock scavenger hunt?

[spark lance]

its in the forest brook iirc, second tree house

[sleek pelican]

5th quest of assembly, 2 people in 2nd treehouse forest brook area. Left side circles

[spark lance]

OMG TODAY IM FINALLY 100% ON THE SEASON

[wooden raptor]

I don’t know if you noticed but if your daily quests are active, cutscene guides you which spot is the mission when you get closer to the area. I know it always does it for seasonal quests but it still does for people who don’t have seasonal quest activated but just wants to do daily (which means even if the season is over, new players will be able to find their way even without completing treehouse quests)

[spark lance]

OK OK OMGG THE WATER CAPE THE WAVE GLOWS AT THE DARK TGC WOAH THIS IS AMAZING WORK! I WILL FOR SURE BUY IT ON LIVE

[feral turret]

Where is the event supposed to be...the shores look fine 🧐

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[spark lance]

thank you skybot, you contributed to stopping pollution

[sleek pelican]

U beat me

[pure path]

One of the geysers around the island has dirty water in it, and a few bells and stuff around

[feral turret]

Thank you!!

[spark lance]

arent they power diamonds

[pure path]

Kinda?
I call them bells because it doesn't need further explaining of what a "power diamond" is

[whole plank]

beta-updates:

Sky-Beta v0.13.3 build 165515
Temp fix to replace the visual appearance of the Sanctuary bowtie with the Feast bowtie

Isn't this it?

[spark lance]

understandable

[rain delta]

Aren’t power diamonds, the things that look blue and are diamond in shape? Not gold color :<

[pure path]

Ye these would be some huge gold power diamonds or something Hence me just calling them bells because of the color
The actual bells we've seen in Sanctuary so these are definitely not the same thing

[wooden raptor]

Yes, what I understood from that patch note was that the sanctuary bow tie would appear as feast bowtie when equipped. But it never happened that way for me. When I wore Sanc bowtie it was always sanctuary, not feast. That was what I tried to say but since the main reason appears to be 🍊 it’s not important also I may have misunderstood due to my English 😅

[feral turret]

I don’t understand, what are you supposed to do about the dirty water in the new event ?

[white latch]

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[wooden raptor]

Just hang out there at the right time. It’s a timely event, you don’t need to do anything to trigger it. But I don’t know when it happens

[iron cipher]

Bruh why is earthday cape cheaper than last year? I want my 50 cent back

[sleek pelican]

Wasn't it 4.99 from last year?(without candle) 🌱

[sick pendant]

Why does sky bot have the beta invites role? Does he want to get into beta?

[rain delta]

I keep missing the geyser event ;-; I kind of wish they have a timer for it on screen like “next geyser sprays in 23:05 minutes” with a ticking clock or something

[iron cipher]

For me it was 5,49 euro

[sleek pelican]

The price 4.99 was usd..
Iirc there was a correction on conversion rate the other day for android
Before that a season pass would cost me 139.000 IDR, after correction 159.000 IDR:sqwarlockDed: and those are before tax

[sullen relic]

exchange rates are set by Apple and Google, that's not something TGC has any control over -- they just set the baseline value in USD

[broken fractal]

I forgot where and which ones the hammock quest again? Is it 2nd tree house and right side?

[sleek pelican]

Left side

[broken fractal]

Ooh, thank you!

[ebon sable]

Easy to tell, the one on the right has a torch next to it, that is for the torch quest.

[viscid umbra]

Who is excited for the next season after assembly

[viral atlas]

if i uninstall sky beta app(android)(recently got into beta invites) and
will i be able to install again and access my beta account?

(shifting phones)

[willow fog]

Yes, but write down your recovery code or link your beta app to an account (such as google)

[fallow echo]

Is the hammock quest a seasonal quest? If yes which one? I don’t think I have unlocked that yet...

[broken fractal]

So that's the clue... noted

[fallow echo]

How to do hammock quest

[pale junco]

Go to the second tree house and do the 4th quest, the one circle without the torch

[fallow echo]

It’s the 4th? Does it require other players to help too? Cuz I haven’t done 2nd cuz I don’t have friends

[pale junco]

Yes, one more person, 2 in total

[sick pendant]

That emoji only makes the sentence darker 💀

[rugged pivot]

Beta's daily quests are exhausting.

[fluid quail]

they won't be like that in live, if u mean they're scattered everywhere it's just for testing purposes, to test as many as possible.
I think they're a nice add, more challenging now.

[wooden raptor]

When you only want to get quest done but you can’t because you remember that you don’t have any skills in skating let alone racing

[sullen relic]

is anyone else finding that the game forcefully turns their camera around during the "skating down the slope" quest? it's seriously interfering with my attempts to finish it

[tropic radish]

Was gonna drop in to ask the same thing
It occurs if I "miss" a memory by a few pixels. And then suddenly the camera goes crazy

[sullen relic]

it happens to me when i get certain checkpoints correctly -- it's like the game's trying to force me to look at the checkpoint i just cleared, which forces the camera to jerk around and interfere with my controls

[elder musk]

Yeah, those camera jerks are extremely annoying and becoming more widespread throughout the game. Really makes me feel nauseous.

[hollow compass]

There are a lot of forced camera angles during spirit memories. They’ve always been there. I suspect TGC wants to help the player, but it’s really just annoying.

[elder musk]

First time playthrough is fine but once the player has beaten the game, handholding the play style could become optional (toggle in setting).

[hollow compass]

I agree. The stickiness and angles make me dizzy sometimes also.

[sullen relic]

it's particularly troublesome with the skating-down-the-slope race because you don't have much margin for error, and the sharp camera jerks can make you lose nearly all your sliding speed -- it's at the point i have to strongly advise against putting it into the daily quest rotation in live until they remove the automatic camera shifts on this one

[hollow compass]

That must be something new. I don’t remember it being like that before.

[elder musk]

Today was extremely bad as I did not remember which spirit memory I had to relive so I relived 4 in a row from the current season and had to put away my iPad or risk 🤢

[sullen relic]

check the video file i just uploaded, particularly the 5th checkpoint at 25 seconds in -- the camera almost did a 180 on me there
#beta-screenshots-videos message

i don't remember it being like that before either, i don't remember needing to fight the camera to complete that quest

[elder musk]

I haven’t done that quest yet but based on the quest description I was planning to do the eace from Hermit valley as that feels more a race than the one in the village.

Anyway, I already gave the feedback so hopefully someone will consider it (remove camera jerks from the entire game and provide better quest description).

[sullen relic]

it mentions "village of dreams", but i agree, it was actually a bit confusing which quest they wanted you to go to based on "race"

[hollow compass]

I haven’t checked yet. But I can see how it can be confused with the regular Valley races.

[steady pond]

since the cutscene for the first area in forest could be removed after having cleared the area for the first time, maybe the same thing could be applied to every spirit 😔 camera angle changes could be disabled if youve already lived it for the first time, but you can still view the memory if you light the rock at the end

[hollow compass]

I am wondering of the camera angles are hardcoded into the memories, though. I’m saying that because they’ve been in the game since the start despite negative feedback.

[steady pond]

sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesnt, so im not sure... the worst offender has got to be 's memory for me, but it doesnt show if i move the moment it goes from one spot to the next

[white latch]

Any opinion about the last quest cutscenes ? I finished the last quest since the season came out and the cutscenes is too short so idk if there any changes here

[sullen relic]

"Here's what it feels like to be a krill: tunnel vision so extreme that you can't see what's actually in front of you sometimes"

[steady pond]

i uh...... certainly wouldnt want it to be hardcoded but if TGC has to put the game into maintenance for weeks to remove the camera angles going everywhere, id.. welcome it 🥲

[hollow compass]

I’m thinking stance in Valley also, and , and and...yeah, all of them.

[timid bough]

the quest cutscenes are also skippable for some reason

[white latch]

I mean its good tho

Unless you wanted to watch the cutscenes
|| and accidentally skipped it||

[pale junco]

That wasn't the case for other seasons so- it might be a bug but then why would they add skip button if they are supposed to be watched once

[spark lance]

the cutscenes are so adorable and you’ll only see them once why skip them

[white latch]

I never seen a real final cutscenes

[sullen relic]

@pale junco responding to your suggestion in #beta-screenshots-videos -- the forced camera angling still happened after activating the boats (and they were both 180 turns this time -- i have no idea how i finished that attempt without losing much speed )

[pale junco]

Oof, then i might've just been lucky because that didn't happen for me or maybe i didn't notice

[sullen relic]

sometimes they're fairly small turns which may not affect you much, but the really bad ones turn the camera around so much you're looking at your sky kid's face

[pale junco]

Ooo, that's annoying

[hollow compass]

Lots of people in Live seem to have automatically clicked the skip button for the cut scene that shows where the seasonal entrance is. I didn’t think that would be possible from the start.

[white latch]

Its skippable on live now, its a thing or a bug then?

[jolly bear]

Say, i just noticed that Live still have that Tree but without it bloom
Seem that TGC listened to some members feedback on keeping the tree on Live version ?

[white latch]

They gave the tree more chance to stay with the children before saying goodbye

[timid bough]

wait its back?

[minor falcon]

it was there for a while after the event in beta as well, next update it's gone

[pale junco]

It shouldn't be there now, the expansion of homespace will also be gone with next update
But feel free to provide feedback:)

[timid bough]

the last time i checked its gone, both in live and beta

[white latch]

I’ll miss the bloom tree

[spark lance]

Hi,The tree of the live version is gone.

[spark lance]

Me too. I'll be bringing those memories with me once I return to the Village and rule there in Beta

[white latch]

I mean it has to tho

[empty escarp]

If this year day of nature were focused on forests again, it would be cool if they kept it and let it bloom but in green.

Tho this year it's oceans 🌊

[white latch]

Welcome to water

[spark lance]

My Phoenix doesn't have enough time to watch over the Village for now. She still has work going on in Sanctuary Islands

[empty escarp]

Water trial spirit: "My day has come"

[spark lance]

I'm still to try the new waves cape with my Water Prophet outfit.

Aha good idea

[spark lance]

Who are you referring to?

[empty escarp]

Man wish i was on beta when phrophecy was testing. I know it was a huge pain but man it also seemed super fun.

[minor falcon]

prophecy testing is some of the most fun I've had in sky

[spark lance]

I don't use my Water prophet outfit that often now

[jolly bear]

Ah it is bug then, i will report later

[spark lance]

I wont forget how we were about to loose our minds while trying to find the way during the fire trial,

[spark lance]

The trial's scarier than ||Eden||. I don't wanna go there

[spark lance]

Hahaha ik! And the strong winds of the air trial, geez, we went through a lot during the propehcy

[empty escarp]

I still find Fire trial harder than Eden
Not because of the difficulty but my lack of orientation there lol

[wooden raptor]

Earth trial is the one which gives me nightmares, not the fire trial. I actually like fire trial now

[random gull]

fire is the only one I"m actually good at I get uber for the other 3

[alpine field]

Water trial is far from friendly to chibis

[random gull]

I am shortest resize without the chibi mask on both beta and live and lemme tell you it's not friendly to short skykids either

[spark lance]

I'm a chibi on Live while I'm a tall skykid on Beta

[mild loom]

is it ok to only play on sky beta? cos i have no time to focus on 2 since my school is starting next week and i focus more on beta 😦

[pale junco]

Yess, i drowned with no water ;-;

[wooden raptor]

I had a bug in my first earth trial which sent me to the last checkpoint after the second. I couldn’t understand how it was that easy while others were saying something about rotating rocks

[lusty light]

If you don’t have time to focus on beta and live you shouldn’t play beta, beta is extremely buggy and unfinished and your progress can be wiped at any time

[mild loom]

thats true, but i have more progress on beta than in live

[patent lake]

Do you know how to download beta on iOS

[gilded parrot]

@patent lake, to join future beta invite waves, learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.

[lusty light]

You shouldn’t be treating beta as a replacement for live, it’s even in #beta-faq, what will you do when the devs remove your progress?

[mild loom]

hmm you have a point thanks :))

[random gull]

I mean I have stuff on beta that I don't have on live and I still focus on live because my items won't be wiped there I kinda feel bad for the last few weeks not actually doing feedback/bug reports. I really only logged in to explore for an hour or two after the update

[bitter gate]

Is the earth cape going back to live?

[safe glade]

in theory it shouldn't

[hollow compass]

I thought it was? I am so confused now.

[pale junco]

It is available in beta, in office. Maybe it will return in live the same way

[random gull]

there hasn't really been any concrete yes or no from the devs yet. Ktjn said that the 2020 cape appearing in the shop had no bearing on this year's schedule but that doesn't mean it is or isn't coming back. we'll have to wait and see

[safe glade]

If you go to the #beta-known-issues Kjin says it's a mistake ...

[hollow compass]

Because we’ve been going back and forth on that, and I thought Ktjn confirmed it would earlier today.

[pale junco]

Oo in live?

[hollow compass]

It’s crossed out in known issues, though

[minor falcon]

as legacy items were mentioned as well as the sprout cape being moved to office in beta I'd say there's a good chance it'll repeat in live

[pale junco]

Yes, also the outfit spells are available which are always there to view the cosmetics before buying, we'll know if spells come in live

[foggy atlas]

It was in the normal shop (not entering office) before the latest update and it was not intended to be that way so that was the bug mentioned in #beta-known-issues
After the latest update, people are saying it is now in the shop when entering office so that part might be intended (idk though bc I got it before the recent update)

[quick harbor]

Was "cat chin" ever recommended on the Ktjn namespelling board?

[mild loom]

if we join our beta account to a game center account etc. are we still able to access that beta account if we delete beta and get back into beta later on during the beta waves?

[random gull]

I think if I figured out the reference ktjn based her name off of is true then the "official" pronunciation is kitten but she also said all pronunciations are correct. kinda like how I answer to both kay and kai (like high). also have heard "kah-ee"

[foggy atlas]

There’s cat jeans and koot chin
Close enough I suppose

[mild loom]

i say her name as kit jin is that wrong :0

[pale junco]

#general-sky-discussion message

[random gull]

ktjn accepts all pronunciations I've just been saying the letters individually myself cuz I was like

[pale junco]

I pronounce it like kt jin

[foggy atlas]

I say katie jin
Which is also kinda similar to just saying the letters individually

[sullen relic]

soup

[random gull]

ok but I literally heard someone deadpan call her soup in a voice chat when we were discussing beta updates and died laughing

[foggy atlas]

Lmaoaoa

[quick harbor]

WOA yall vc????

Me who doesn't see any vc channel 😩😩

[tawdry pine]

Probably in another server

[random gull]

yeah dms and private servers. official doesn't have voice chat for literally impossible to moderate reasons. also I only vc with people I'm really close with cuz my name is gender neutral but my voice isn't so I don't wanna be misgendered vc is great for days I can't look at my screen too much though cuz I can still hang out with friends in sky and chat and listen to ambiance

[elder musk]

Will proceeds from the green Earth cape go to the same cause like last year (assuming it will be in Live again)?

[empty escarp]

I don't think it will come live
Since this year's main focus is cleaning oceans, so i think all of the (or half...?) Of the profits go towards that.
Im not 100% sure though. I think green cape comeback was an oopsie

[pure path]

Half of the net proceeds, yes

[vagrant pebble]

is campfire a hacker?

[random gull]

not necessarily. I and several of my friends have legitimate bonfires. the last progress wipe was before belonging testing

[wild dust]

To be honest, I don't want a data wipe to happen 😔 I would lose all the friends i have and i don't wanna lose them

[tawdry pine]

That's what live is for

[wild dust]

[random gull]

they've said before that they do try to preserve the friends list with progress wipes so hopefully if one happens we keep our friends I have a few beta friends I made by candle that I have no contact with outside the game (they probably think I quit since I've been awol) so I'd miss them

[wild dust]

We all would be moths tho

[mystic forge]

I don't think it'll come again until another planting chairty. Don't brings your hopes down if it's not available right now. It might be available soon.

[median pasture]

i met someone with deer mask in beta recently, if the last data wipe was before belonging does that mean they're a hacker >> sorry i don't really understand how the progress wipes work lol

[elder musk]

It’s OK, thank you, I got it last year. I was just wondering if it comes back in Live and if for charity again.

[sleek pelican]

Sorry i read ur previous message wrong lol idk bout the cause tho

[empty escarp]

Im sure it was stated that anyone with a Deer mask is a hacker , so yeah i think you might've ran into a hacker, pal

[rich island]

i wonder why they keep the earth cape at office while it’s a mistake
oh it actually comeback at days of nature?

[sleek pelican]

The one stated in known issue was for when the cape appeared at home shop 6th april 2021. But seeing how ktjn said the cape can be found in office (for now in beta) as legacy items i think it was intended

[gilded parrot]

@sleek pelican, to join future beta invite waves, learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.

[tough swallow]

Skybot go to sneep

[willow fog]

Omg wait, the old earth day cape is available in office I’m so happy

[tough swallow]

Oh ?

[willow fog]

Is that a bug or

[willow fog]

wait I’m just blind

[tough swallow]

Oh me too

[tawdry pine]

At first it was but now earth cape is in office

[tough swallow]

It’s really cool

[willow fog]

I love the vibrant green it’s so beautiful, it’s why I’m such a fan of the new green one from assembly too

[tough swallow]

Same !

[mighty estuary]

But anyway, the lettuce cape won't available in live when the DoN hits live right?

[willow fog]

I don’t think so, because the cause is a different one this time so it wouldn’t make sense to collect money with the green cape, as that one was to plant trees if I remember correctly

[mighty estuary]

Ya that's why i say it wont, just wanna make sure 👍🏻

[hard parcel]

[austere fractal]

Just a thought about the AFK System regarding disabling light collection - If friends give me a ride and I stop being able to collect, it‘d be fair enough I‘d also be disabled from losing light if I get lost in wasteland or the rain in forest.

[hollow compass]

You can suggest that in the feedback channel. 🙂
Although, I don't know if it can really be considered "the same".

[willow fog]

Hmm good idea originally, but I think TGC wants to teach us that we shouldn’t be afk for too long in the first place. So being “rewarded” for being afk due to being secured from losing light ... I don’t know if it goes well with their intent of the afk system.

[hollow compass]

Yes, and people also like losing their light that way in order to go capeless. It's an old mechanic in the game and has lore connections as well, so I doubt they would introduce a timer for it.

[vagrant pebble]

Anyone else notice the recently used emotes (that u use) disappear once u pass to another area? I reported it as a bug..

[stray elk]

time to delete all the messy emotes

[austere fractal]

Sometimes I noticed I had lost wings when I was in forest for example because I suddenly got a call. I get what you mean about „not the same“, but stopping us because of afk from gaining should also stop us from losing when you’re afk - I think that’s a balance that shouldn’t work one way.

[sick pendant]

Btw the emote menu have been rearranged... It feels like it's in categories of types of emotes

[hollow compass]

As I said, you can mention it in feedback. I'm not going to initiate an argument again about the whole afk thing. I disagree with your suggestion, but that doesn't make it any less valid a point to bring up to the devs.

[subtle iris]

can you go through a progress wipe without being kicked from the beta tho

[hollow compass]

Yes, you can. We all had our progress wiped before iOS release, but kept our accounts and could log back on. All cosmetics and friendship upgrades were gone, though.

[subtle iris]

huh, nice

[fluid quail]

i see no connection between the afk system and being protected from losing light, either way you shouldn't afk in gw and i believe afk isn't effecting this, like with or without the afk implemented if u afk and get wax in gw you'll still lose light.. unless u mean just adding this feature to the afk i just dun see how that makes it fair

[austere fractal]

I was also interested in other opinions, but thanks for your input. As this is testing-discussion I thought this was the right place to go and see what others think about it before I put it in feedback, where no one sees it - as i am not arguing about the afk system as it is, but saying it should work two-ways.

[hollow compass]

The thing about feedback is that is should come from you, preferably unfiltered. But it's always nice to discuss and listen to others, of course.

By unfiltered I mean that we don't need to ask each other for permission or confirmation that an idea is good.

[arctic lake]

Does a purchaseable tea set spell exist in beta? Like there is for the swing or the seesaw for example? I haven't one encountered in live yet.

[terse quail]

Not to sound mean, but since this is a discussion channel, this person wanted to discuss a certain topic. It doesn’t mean you have to engage in it if you feel like you’ve done it before with someone else, so always sending everyone to feedback kind of goes against this being a discussion channel. Just my two cents.

[hollow compass]

I wasn't sending someone to the feedback channel, I was encouraging them to put their idea there.

[austere fractal]

I just had this short idea and was looking for other pro- and cons before I enter an idea that’s been discussed here and I wasn’t around or found it when I searched for it. I was not asking for permission to submit a feedback. I also would like you to reconsider how you came at me at first because I was not offending or asking anything that I should not be asking in this channel. It made me feel really unwelcome because I never asked someone personally to get into a discussion they didn’t want to have.

[terse quail]

I am mainly referring to what you said about “not wanting to start an argument again” about a certain topic.

[hollow compass]

I feel people are very quick to jump to conclusions here about others' intentions. If you don't like someone having an opposing opinion to you, it's not the other person's fault and it's not a personal attack either. I'm passing along what staff and mods have said about feedback: it should come from our own experiences and we can agree to disagree on something.
I am personally very tired of the afk discussion and feared that it would yet again spark a war here. I am sure it's ok for me to say that without knowing if someone has been here before or not.

[terse quail]

The whole afk topic is a big thing for a lot of players, so it’s very likely there will be a lot of conversations about it and what I’m saying is, you don’t have to take part if you feel like you’ve done it before and it’s making you feel some type of way. People are free to express themselves and as long as it’s civilised, which this person was, there isn’t anything wrong with them trying to have a conversation about this topic themselves even though it has been discussed before. I see it all the time, someone tries to start a discussion and then there is always someone pointing to the feedback channel, which is fine, but sometimes, people just want to discuss for the sake of discussing and bouncing of off each other. And that’s totally valid too.

[foggy atlas]

Facts
Sometimes I have to clarify that I’ve already sent feedback and I just wanna talk 😭

[hollow compass]

Yes, and that's what I was saying. I don't understand why people here are always so quick to judge and point fingers. It's hurtful and mean, and truly doesn't foster a feeling of openness.

[hard cave]

I think everybody was being very civil, assembleptia simply said she wouldn't keep on with the discussion, not that there could be no discussion!

Since she was the one keeping the conversation with Sarah, it would have been a bit mean to just stop answering, right?

[terse quail]

I think you’re taking this too personally, when what I’m saying is in no way an attack against you. But the way you wrote what you wrote came off in a different way than what you might have intend, hence what the person themselves wrote too. Just let people discuss what they want to discuss and if it’s not to your liking, you can ignore it. That’s my point.

[hollow compass]

Thank you, Anyanya.

[hollow compass]

Please stop. I did not say people couldn't have a discussion here. I said I didn't want to be a part of it, but that I respected this person's ideas and encouraged them to share with the team. In what other way can I make my civil and respectful attitude known?

[pale junco]

What is this new chaos

[static saffron]

I'm just lurking here

[radiant drum]

Just drop the arguing, please. I believe it's been clarified enough

[late mountain]

Just a gentle reminder it can be very hard to read the meaning behind text. I’m getting the feeling no harm was meant from either end so it might be best to drop the discussion and move on.

[pale junco]

I just came here 👁️👄👁️

[radiant drum]

Sorry for the late ping, just wanted to clarify: the progress wipe happened before a re-run of Gratitude in Beta, meaning every single season has been tested so far and players still have that progress. However, both Gratitude and Lightseekers were too short to complete, and the ultimates for those seasons should be unobtainable for anyone in Beta

[hollow compass]

I'm honestly very close to muting this channel for a while, because it's not a pleasant place to be anymore.

[pale junco]

Take your time off if your are not feeling good

[median pasture]

ohhh okay, thank you for the clarification!

[hollow compass]

I originally came here to ask which one was the hammock quest for the dailies, because I forgot.

[slim kayak]

Hammock is the 5th quest, so its in the second area

[brittle pulsar]

I think the AFK system is still "hard" for a lot of players. Especially those that have limited time to play.

Fastest solo Full candle run can take an a hour and a half (if it's smooth sailing) but not anyone can do it that way.

How about when playing with friends? It'd just a waste of time for the driver and other people to wait for "one friend" When they want to go to the bathroom just so they don't miss a couple of wax. Or a lot of things that people need to do.

I think it defeats the purpose of "helping" Others

[spark lance]

I heard there's the tier 2 white cape? :00
OmG REallY TiME TO FArm

[foggy atlas]

Yes
White, Black, and Pink
And they’re gorgeous

[static saffron]

Yes, it costs 150 hearts

[pale junco]

Black is better than white

[brittle pulsar]

cries in poor

[static saffron]

You're not the only one

[foggy atlas]

My favs are Black and Pink

[spark lance]

Ive always wore white
White cape supremacy

[static saffron]

I don't even have enough hearts for black/white capes in live
I have no hearts in beta

[pale junco]

I don't have either so- i mostly wear belonging capes

[foggy atlas]

I only have enough hearts for one of the three

[hard cave]

I think the capes actually look nicer without the little trim

But it's nice to have more vibrant variations of the capes to be able fit more outfits!

[pale junco]

Megabird cape when

[fluid quail]

||I have enough for all of em and I'm so tempted but my Easter Egg comes first 😔||

[static saffron]

I'm debating if I should buy the tier 2 yellow in live, I want more capes
My beta skykid is gonna be richer than my main when the ts comes

[sand dawn]

No-cape? Yea.. same! I’m halfway there but if I get all these new tier2’s I’ll be back at square one!

[static saffron]

I'd never be able to save up 999 hearts, I respect those who managed to do that

[fluid quail]

I turned off my brain when I decided that

[sullen relic]

+0.1% progress

[vapid linden]

y’all I got the ult cape somehow but I still need to finish 2 spirits? Bug?

[sullen relic]

ktjn mentioned making some kind of change that'd allow people who had a heart shortage to get the ultimate cape, though i'm not sure what it is since i actually managed to get the cape while it was still two ults -- now i'm missing the mask instead

[grizzled kraken]

Has anyone figured out how to trigger wax guyser in sanc

[rancid oasis]

am i supposed to be able to get the green earth cape ;-;

[drowsy wave]

How do you activate the geyser at sanctuary?

[vapid linden]

I only saw it in the shop when I went to the office, maybe try going there?

[grizzled kraken]

It was an oops and in store by mistake. So it is only available as free spell now

[pale junco]

It's available in office

[rancid oasis]

i got it in shop at home

[kind spindle]

whats the current price of seasonal props from the quest giver?

[static saffron]

I can't even check if it's available in office since I got it from the bug

[vagrant pebble]

You can get it from office (i just claimed mine from there)

[pale junco]

I saw it in #beta-screenshots-videos when the prices got changed in beta. You can use the search feature

[opaque yew]

After some thinking about AFK emotes what if they implement it to helps us? Like if I’m AFK at home and a friend come meet me they know I’m AFK when I didn’t respond instead of being mistaken as rude , or when the leader is farming with AFK friends and they reach 4 player door, the other players didn’t know the second player is AFK so they appear being rude for not helping. I know some leader chose to glitch instead of open doors with lots of friends and many wondered why, it could be everyone else is AFK

[steady pond]

i dont think anyone has a problem with the AFK indicator tbh . i love it for those exact reasons you mentioned

[random gull]

I think most of the upset over afk is currently over the timer being too low for candle runs? there are some areas you can't get in under 10 minutes and it does slow everyone down if the leader has to stop candle running for the friend who had to pause to cook dinner or feed a cat or whatever to ensure they don't miss wax. the zzz animation is super adorable and I haven't seen a single person upset about it

[tardy pelican]

i got the cape after the update, and turns out after you unlock the trumpet you can get the cape for free

[static saffron]

This goes for everyone?

[slim kayak]

mask is still unobtainable though. oh well.

[tardy pelican]

yep

[static saffron]

Nice

[opaque yew]

Ohhh! sorry I misunderstood

[plain falcon]

Hello. How can I complete the hammock Scavenger hunt?

[rain delta]

The thing I’ve noticed is that when we write sentences in a very formal manner without emojis on an open forum/chat thing like this... it comes across as serious. So people tend to read it with a serious tone too. what I generally do, is to try to maintain a neutral tone in my mind when reading a message
It helps clear out any misinterpretations of tone

[pale junco]

Go to second tree house in the forest brook and do the 5th seasonal quest, the meditation circle without a torch
Here's a map
#beta-screenshots-videos message

[sand dawn]

Can confirm.
Or you know they’re busy doing something (laundry, dinner, work ) and you don’t wanna disturb them with opening doors if you can just as easily glitch trough

That said, if others appear to open the door, I’ll “wake up” my friends to help, hahah

[spark lance]

I think everyone new that just learnt glitches are overexcited and over doing them inconsidering people that wait for someone to open a door. Old players tho would help when they can.

[static saffron]

Just used three resizes and now I'm super short
My live skykid can punt my beta skykid easily

[opaque yew]

Some couldn’t help because once they let go of AFK players hand they can’t hold them back. So they must glitch in with friends, and that will be unfair to solo player that put extra time to wait for nothing

[random gull]

I'm shortest resize on both beta and live the chibis think I"m one of them until they light me and see a weasel mask on beta and rhythm ult mask on live

[sick pendant]

Would y'all like it if the ult mask gave you chibi size aswell?

[random gull]

there's definitely been a lot of talk from people who wish chibi mask was it's own category so you could pair it with other masks. I don't think that will happen since we have spells and soon to come STAR pin for chibi though

[static saffron]

My live skykid is only slightly shorter than my friend, like only a few pixels short

IGNIS YOUR PFP AND NN ELHFKGEHGIEHGE

[sick pendant]

I'm a STAR baby

[static saffron]

SIGCIGSF

[orchid yacht]

STAR chibi pin? Too bad my device doesn't support it

[plain falcon]

Thank you so much 🥰

[random gull]

I left feedback on this. you have to bind you r STAR pin to your account permanently anyways so I asked them if they could make some way to use the pins in game without physically scanning them. the device I have that can scan them it's incredibly difficult to scan them because the NFC reader isn't at the edge and the device I have that can't scan them is just out of luck. plus ALL of my star pins just won't scan at all in beta anymore and ThatSkyShop just basically said "too bad so sad it's beta" and dropped it since they work on live.

[gilded parrot]

Hello beloved citizens! Skybot here to remind you all that if you are having trouble finding something in Beta, please submit that to TGC in #beta-feedback! Please make sure to search it yourself before asking, and together we can help many Live skykids have a great experience

[spark lance]

Where is the hammock?

[ruby parcel]

WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE REWARD FOR THIS SEASON??? Cries

[random gull]

there's 4 ultimate rewards: a mask with the seasonal symbol on it, a pot hat, a bugle/trumpet-esque instrument, and a cape

[ruby parcel]

wait so if i 100% this seaosn no special thing?

[slim kayak]

100% includes the seasonal quests. it doesn't give you anything

[pure path]

I think there wasn't anything for the 100% since Sanctuary? And even then it was cutscenes right?
My memory bad

[ruby parcel]

Cri

[static saffron]

100% completion requires every spirit constellation complete and all quests finished

[slim kayak]

gratitude and lightseekers gave you the ultimates at 100% i believe. starting at belonging, you only got a cutscene for 100%, and since the introduction of the quests, you no longer get anything special for 100%

[violet pebble]

Does the Sky beta play on the switch now? I saw there can link with my Nintendo Account.

[static saffron]

No. Sky in general isn't even on the switch yet

[ruby parcel]

switch access for sky?

[slim kayak]

the switch does not have a beta. the option is there in preparation for the switch, but currently doesn't do anything

[static saffron]

Pretty sure Nintendo would have to choose beta testers for the switch anyways

[ruby parcel]

yeah

[violet pebble]

Oh, so sadddddddd. Waiting for long-time. Hope it quickly on switch.

[slim kayak]

i'm not too knowledgeable on how beta works on the switch, but from what i know, the devs would have to create individual invite codes for each tester should they open up a beta on switch. else, they would just have to finish testing in house, which is what i suspect they're doing

[valid terrace]

In a way I kind of hope that this doesn’t mean 4 Ults from now on

a varying number would be nice maybe

[ruby parcel]

we had 2 in dreams i think

[static saffron]

Maybe around 2-4 every season, or just one like before rhythm

[slim kayak]

i mean, some thought that we were getting 4 spirit seasons for the foreseeable future, but that wasn't the case. i would assume it would depend on the need of the season

[pale junco]

This season has been historically different not only props

[static saffron]

Agreed, the spirits are all kids too
Last time we saw seasonal spirits as kids was in belonging
Dreams doesn't really count since dreams skater girl was just part of the story

[cyan bramble]

What exactly is there new to do Sanctuary?

[wispy dune]

I THINK my beta data transfered to live somehow???

[ruby parcel]

i love spirit kids

[valid terrace]

me tempted to go to the Ark in Beta solely to record cutscenes for nostalgia, but would that be a waste of time?

[static saffron]

OH MY GOD THE ADULT SPIRITS AS KIDS

WHAT HAS MY BRAIN DONE

[sick pendant]

Not possible

[foggy atlas]

That’s impossible
They’re two separate apps

[pale junco]

Rythm qg was a kid too? Right?

But if we are talking about what we know for certain then boogie kid was the last spirit kid

[wispy dune]

then why do i have things i shouldnt have in live that i have in beta

[ruby parcel]

w h a t

[sly plover]

Are you confusing beta with live

[minor falcon]

beta and live are completely different apps and have separate servers

[wispy dune]

no. i'm on live atm. and somehow all my progress was set to something completely different that is not mine

[ruby parcel]

h o w

[sick pendant]

The real question is what's the Rythm guide's identity. Some people belive they're male while I always saw them as a female

||i know gender doesn't exist in sky||

[valid terrace]

Was very short; can be a kid if you want - nothing against that interpretation

[static saffron]

I personally see rhythm questgiver as female

[quaint anchor]

sorry but what that hot tub with black water do at sanctuary? 👀

[pale junco]

Oo don't talk about fanarts 😳

[wispy dune]

Is it possible i have two accounts, because i played the game with two emails? (bleh words)

[sly plover]

It a polluted geyser

[static saffron]

I wanna do the same thing with sanctuary and ark

[quaint anchor]

ye but i see like 5 ppl waiting there... for what?

[ruby parcel]

Me did dreams and santuary but no ark ark is too much looking

[sly plover]

Doing a quest ? Cleaning the geyser?

[wispy dune]

??? i have confirmed that my live content has become my beta content somehow

[pale junco]

Just wait there, it will drop wax

[quaint anchor]

thx mate 👀

[chrome ivy]

Invisible cape in Sky:
It's not a placeholder. I assume it's a template for other cape.
For Example they release a new cape. They change the code for price,assets and where the cape can be obtain.

[ruby parcel]

its an actual cape, costs 999 hearts as far as I know

[pale junco]

In beta or in live?
In beta you could have been removed while a wipe
While live should still have your another account

[static saffron]

Well now I can't stop thinking about this
Help

[sick pendant]

Think of popcorn

[wispy dune]

no i linked my beta to an email a while back and apperiantly used the same email for live yesterday and now i have beta progress on live???

[wispy dune]

turns out i am BLIND AS A BAT. WHOOPS

[minor falcon]

my beta and live are linked to the same gamecenter and they're separate

[ruby parcel]

Same

[static saffron]

Beta and live aren't even linked to anything for me

[chrome ivy]

Me too

[wispy dune]

I have accidentally booted beta sky and thought it was live.

[minor falcon]

please link your accounts, it'll save you in the future

[pale junco]

Yes, there should be no progress transfer because there's no link between them

[tawdry pine]

You better get live linked at least, that way your prograss can be saved
Losts of moth accounts have been lost that way

[static saffron]

I actually can't link them at all

[pale junco]

And save your sky ids

[tawdry pine]

Settings and then account, I recommend linking your account to an email for quicker access

[wispy dune]

turns out my switch account can be linked too in beta

[static saffron]

That's the thing, I can't use my email to link them

Best I can do is keep both IDs, which I already have

[chrome ivy]

Just link your existed google or apple id. And save a screenshot of your sky recovery id as back backup. And save that screenshot to other phones or pc just in case your screenshot sky recovery id is on your main phone that broke or something.

[median merlin]

Do you know how much the invisibility cloak will cost?

[slim kayak]

invisible cape is 999 hearts, but you also need to finish all of vault and purchase the vault elder hair in orbit

[wispy dune]

I know orbit is technically spoiler related but is that different than eden?

[deft solar]

Are u guys satisfy with black, white, and pink tier 2 design? For me it's pretty similar with tier 1, i still thinking should i spend very huge amount of hearts for capes that looks similar with it's tier 1 design

[slim kayak]

orbit is the place after eden's storm. its where you collect ascended candles after dying and ascending. sparkly place? has a door of light at the end? separate area

[tawdry pine]

#beta-feedback

Laughs with 20 hearts

[static saffron]

Me with none

[pale junco]

I think i'm happy that we actually have an actual black cape

[finite meteor]

..that costs 150 hearts

[tawdry pine]

More doable than 999 hearts

[split wave]

im playing the beta sky with only two flaps to see how long i can last, im lasting longer than id thought keke

[tough swallow]

... I’m happy with just my teal cape 20 hearts

[lyric siren]

Guys I am 60% done with the season...
And I have 9 days left...
Idk if I’ll be able to complete it hhh why did my phone get taken away
Pls give me strength guys

[tough swallow]

If you don’t have enough time you can try to complete it in live don’t worry

[chrome ivy]

We need multiplier for beta user for candle and heart grinding. Beta tester can choose to whatever to enable or disable the multiplier.

[dry flax]

Brrrrrrrr

[split wave]

oh yeah, can we get the earth day cape in beta? or is it just gone for good now

[tough swallow]

You can get it in the IAP shop of beta office

[chrome ivy]

I sure before the day's of nature update I buy the cape IAP on wasteland. I am sure it was a bug

[sick pendant]

Is there a reason there haven't been any ultimate pants?

[chrome ivy]

Probably not. We may ask the developer when cames to the discussion.

[tawdry pine]

Maybe it's harder to design ultimate pants

[tough swallow]

Overalls are for me the Ultimate pants

[elder musk]

I love my “timberland” pants (as my friend calls it) ☺️

[chrome ivy]

They design pants why not ultimate pants. It's kinda strange Top 10 Sky Myth's

[wheat pumice]

Im still wasnt able to activated the geyser. Huhu

[tough swallow]

There was not ulti pants also in dreams

[sick pendant]

LONG RED FLUFFY DRESS FOR THE ULTIMATE 💃

if a season feels like it should have ultimate pants, then the devs may create ultimate pants. we've got time

[chrome ivy]

New season idea
SEASON OF HELL

[tough swallow]

Hmm no, not really in the vibes of Sky lol

[pale junco]

I think it's totally possible, maybe in future

[sick pendant]

Not for this season. For another one

[chrome ivy]

2077

[slim kayak]

i said a season. as in the future. its um.. a bit late to change the ultimates now for assembly

[sick pendant]

Imagine

Running away from the krills in a long dress and high heels.

Now tell me you don't want it

[spark lance]

For the quest, where is it ? I dont want to do all the quest for find de good one 😅

all the ts cost 1000 candles each

[chrome ivy]

Of course the season of underground in 2077 and everyone's favourite. PC release . That RTX On on RTX 9077

[elder musk]

PC in 2077? ☺️ It will be wired in our brain by then ☺️

[spark lance]

there would be many complaints abt the controls lol

I wonder how Sanctuary would look like at night 🌈

[rancid oasis]

sorry for the late reply but i haven't even gone to vault yet

[daring jewel]

how do you clean up the shores in sanctuary

[tender oasis]

Basically you wait until it cleans itself its not too interactive, the geyser will erupt occasionally and sou have to but the balls to get wax. Other than that you just wait a lot.

[daring jewel]

[carmine thorn]

Every few hours, the polluted geyser will spew out darkness balls.

[daring jewel]

cool thanks

[humble forge]

Question, which is the hammock quest? The one for todays mission

[sick pendant]

Felt cute, Just wrote another 3000 character feedback and deleted more than half of it

[toxic spruce]

Just scroll up a bit, someone sent a link to the map

[humble forge]

Thank you @toxic spruce

[orchid yacht]

I wonder if we'll be able to log onto Google Play Games on Sky for the Switch
if not...

[random gull]

you might need to link your nintendo account to your phone first and then log into nintendo on the switch to recover your account

[carmine thorn]

I think that is how it would work also. Why else have us test to make sure we can link Nintendo accounts on mobile?

[stoic adder]

Ohh thank youuuu

[sick pendant]

What if

You can put 6 spells on the bookshelf but only friends who you have been friends with for at least 30 days can pick them up

[crude turret]

wish there would be some little sky creatures dolls on the shelves tho

[sick pendant]

What if.... Season of pottery

[crude turret]

with a harry potter moth 🪄

[blazing sequoia]

5th

[vapid fractal]

Harry potter

[sick pendant]

Y'all know I meant pottery as in making pots right?

[vapid fractal]

Idk what even the topic is, I saw pot and thought potter

Me in beta: I should save up candles if more cool stuff gets added.
Also me: keeps giving out candles to make new friends
I’m broke now but atleast met some great people

[crude turret]

yep, brain said mothy potter first
but yes, pottery
i saw one or two ideas of props like the pots in prairie that we could storage some butterflies in it and summon them to recharge you or something, I thought they would be neat
but how would a season with the main point as in pots be?

[static saffron]

Jar is perfect for prairie elder cosplay

[neat stream]

This reminds me of one conversation I had with a friend

We came to the conclusion that the Valley Elders glued Prairie’s jar to his back so it’s easier to carry

[static saffron]

IYFSICGS

[sick pendant]

Sounds something valley elders would 100% do

[crude turret]

i'm waiting for people to clash the assembly scout's shenanigans with the valley elder's shenanigans

[spice depot]

So is general consensus that the hoop prop won't ever get the instant recharge it does at tree house bc it'd be too op? I was hoping it'd get some function

[crude turret]

imagine it would recharge one wedge per time you pass through but only if places at like 3 ts size in the air
but you still need to flap up one or two times to reach it and get speed

[modern pebble]

Have Ktjn or some other dev confirmed that the props will have no function?

[sullen relic]

I wonder if anyone’s tried making a krill fly through the hoop

[static saffron]

Bet

[frank slate]

It would be great if the hoop had collision and the krill was too big to fly through it and got stuck.

[cosmic orchid]

krills have no collision too so that still won't work

[frank slate]

Well, a Skykid can dream...

[finite meteor]

can we just consider krills deadly shadows since they go right through skykids when u get caught by them

[cosmic orchid]

yeah that could work
imagine shadow crabs

[crude turret]

lol invisible crabs
you only hear a loud hisss before it's too late

[foggy atlas]

#beta-discussion message

[wild dust]

So what do we do with them?

[foggy atlas]

#beta-discussion message

[silent lily]

Still doesn't make sense to me

[wild dust]

Thanks

[foggy atlas]

Basically
They have plans for nonfunctional items
We don’t know what they are specifically yet
(No function doesn’t = no purpose)

[crude turret]

i thought they'd be just to make the tree house look pretty but it decorates itself already no?

[silent lily]

Now that the season is in live, i doubt anything major is gonna happen with them. But yeah, we never know

Well then i guess the purpose of half of them is "decoration" ?

[foggy atlas]

Their purpose isn’t meant to be fully revealed during Assembly
I feel like they have bigger plans with them in the future
Perhaps decoration or something else yeah ^

[rain mantle]

To be completely fair, in a social/experiential game like Sky having props that act mostly as decoration could be the main purpose of the prop. Aesthetics are important, and it does potentially open up nice possibilities for screenshots.

Personally I like the spotlight/streetlight.

[foggy atlas]

Yeee

[sick pendant]

I cant think of any situation nor a place in sky that I would like to decorated with bookshelf

[modern pebble]

I don't know what to think about that " it'll make more sense soon, i assure you." ... it still doesn't make sense to me ... but I suppose they will have something prepared

[silent lily]

Yeah, but still, i don't think a bookshelf or a pot is a "good" thing for decoration
But yeah, others can think otherwise so can't really complain

[sick pendant]

Hmm. You know what would make this place better? a bookshelf

[crude turret]

if we hat a big carpet to put on the ground it could make a little room that we could place everywhere, in a way
ah, i remember when we thought the prophecy drum was a chat carpet

[silent lily]

Same. I also was thinking all of them will get some update by the time seasons hits live but that never happened

[timid bough]

because that update is apparently somewhere into assembly live

[rain mantle]

I mean, with the bookshelf being time-gated to only be purchasable after the final weekly quest of the season is complete there's still room for development time if necessary... maybe

[silent lily]

Well, We don't know that yet, and also ktjn already said not all of them have a "function"

[crude turret]

well, we'll see what it turns out to be over time, no? so let's chill

[silent lily]

I guess so, i hope for the best

[timid bough]

but they have a purpose
ktjn did say we will receive some patches during assembly live
also nick teased somewhat about it during his time on the treetop

[silent lily]

Ktjn said that we'll have patches in live?

[wild dust]

But I'm pretty sure that those items will stay after season ends. Like i can't get the tent because I almost don't have friends in beta so I would want to get them on a future

[crude turret]

purpose and mechanics are two different things. it probably doesn't have a "mechanic" and for now it's "purpose" is decorative

[timid bough]

our cosmetics are also purely decorative but no one complains

[wild dust]

I never thought of that

[plain falcon]

[timid bough]

well it has something to do with previous props having some functionality but when they release new ones people expect them to keep up

[crude turret]

yes, every cosmetic would be decorative
only props have mechanics, like the instruments, chat items, fireworks staff and umbrella. now we have props without mechanics, for now at least
but so what, the game is live, it changes with time. we didn't have traveling spirits at some point, we started having new areas being added, changes in office and etc, so getting too heated about changes is kinda useless in a way

[timid bough]

what was that word again that ktjn used to describe unnecessary observed patterns?

[carmine thorn]

It's odd though that the non-seasonal items in the QG tree count towards season completion. At least it does for my girlfriend's beta account. She has all spirit trees completed, quests done and all but the tent from QG and it says Season progress is 99%

[gilded parrot]

ktjn's clones are watching

[lyric kite]

Yeah I do find that odd as well, although I guess it doesn't really matter anymore now that the question mark/flag in the center of seasonal constellations doesn't really do anything anymore. It only used to be important when that was what you needed to watch the final cutscene for the season

[wild dust]

Same. I have 98% and don't have the tent nor the lamp in the tree / I completed all spirits too

[crude turret]

it was the same with dreams quests. apparently a season 100% completion means both every single cosmetic and the quests. pointless to say also relieving the spirits.
like, 100% means 100%

[silent lily]

Well i guess that visual percentage doesn't matter anymore because we can get the ultimate gift and watch all the cutscenes (if there'll be any) without that percentage
But yeah, still weird how said non-seasonal stuff counts towards seasonal completion

[crude turret]

in a way, it's a nice and actually useful measurement to keep track at what point you are in the season, even if just visual

[wild dust]

That's a shame. I won't be able to complete to 100%. I don't have much friends :(

Maybe I'll be able to complete it on live / I have almost 40 hearts

[crude turret]

why would you need friends? you don't need other people to complete the season
if you're talking about the multiple player quests, you can always ask for help in here or wait for people to appear in game, you don't even have to friend them if they help you cause they want

[wild dust]

I meant the hearts. It's like 30 hearts that I need so i don't think I'll be able to get it on time

[crude turret]

i don't play in beta and it didn't reach live, but you're saying that the questgiver items cost non seasonal currency or aren't free?

[sullen relic]

The shelf from the quest giver costs 30 hearts from memory

[crude turret]

bruh

this doesn't make sense for season completion then, and if it goes away when it ends that's just unfair

[sullen relic]

May change before we see it accessible in live, but some of the items you could claim for free, while the others required non-seasonal currency

[lyric kite]

None of the items in the quest giver's tree should go away once the season ends, except for the pass-locked ultimate gifts. The other items should stay along with the quests, just like with previous seasons. So if you don't have enough currency to purchase them before the season ends, you should still be able to after

The only difference is that this is the first season that we've had where there are extra items mixed into the season guide's quest tree, instead of just rewarding hearts for completing the quests

[crude turret]

pretty sure that confused people already, and still will riot because of those changes

[lyric kite]

Well, all I could suggest at this point is leaving #live-feedback with how you feel about having extra items in the quest tree instead of just from the spirits. I can understand TGC wanting to try something different, and I don't think it's too bad considering the items themselves are permanent and not just tied to the season

[graceful thunder]

im begging for orange to come back at this point

[gilded parrot]

orange you glad I didn't say

[crude turret]

i'm glad skybot didn't stop with those reactions tho

[graceful thunder]

skybot = best human

[crude turret]

ahem you mean best human
pfft you really did it

[distant imp]

wait the green cape is returning ? Didn't they say it won't be returning and last time it did, few days ago was a bug 🤔

[fervent apex]

i hope they return lantern too somewhen

[modern pebble]

So far there is nothing confirmed, maybe they left it in the office because they could not solve the bug completely.
When you buy it in the office, the message to help the forests (or something like that) comes out and that is from last year's event

[autumn elk]

The cape being in office isnt a bug, it is intentionally there whether it is coming to live is unconfirmed however the beta known issue saying the cape being available as a bug has since been crossed out.

[radiant drum]

Just like anything in beta, if you like the way it is now leave feedback in #beta-feedback

[tawdry pine]

At first it was a bug since it was appearing in the iap shop outside of Office, if you go there Earth Cape will be there

[crude turret]

if you don't like something talk about it too
but please be polite at least

[vapid briar]

it's also good to ask questions before coming out swinging with a negative emotional response. no need to cause yourselves or others undue stress

[static saffron]

So we don't know if it'll be available in office during live?

[sick pendant]

That's a secret Ktjn won't share

[crude turret]

we might know when they announce it in #news

[radiant drum]

while it's in beta, anything can change yeah

[static saffron]

Well I don't care if it comes back in live, I'm okay if it doesn't
But we'll see what happens

[crude turret]

did the owl hair change spirits in live or in beta, during rythmin?
actually, why did it change in the first place?

[radiant drum]

A bit off topic? That's not related to beta at all

[crude turret]

i mean, where else could they ask such a question

[radiant drum]

That was meant for a message that was now deleted

I have only one hair I care about, so I didn't even remember the owl hair was changed

[sick pendant]

I belive @/Kitro#6698 was also referring to that deleted question

[static saffron]

Me who doesn't even know what changed during gratitude-dreams beta testing
Are there any videos of it?

[spark lance]

winter piano was ult before owl hair took its place, maybe they thought owl hair is worth more of an ult than an instrument thats like the piano but in a higher pitch

i wasnt part of beta during rhythm, but i lurked a lot in these channels

[crude turret]

well, if it was deleted there was a reason... so whatever i guess

[crude turret]

i mean, that's fair
but i couldn't ask for one or another, i want both
at least i could buy the piano when it came as ts

[radiant drum]

I believe the winter piano was also part of a IAP pack at one point, maybe it wouldn't be that exciting to players that already had it

[sick pendant]

I deleted it myself

[static saffron]

I'm curious on what was changed though, I don't wanna search in #beta-screenshots-videos for like 5 hours

[sick pendant]

The owl hair was a regular spirit cosmetic. It was changed to an ultimate gift which rised some controversy iirc

[static saffron]

Figured since Director has the owl hair

[crude turret]

some fossils might know so when they appear here you can ask them
i learned a lot by coincidences too

[sick pendant]

Did you just call vets fossils???

[radiant drum]

It was most likely during beta though. Ultimates are pretty much accessible in live from day one, unlike current quests that are staggered

[crude turret]

imagine, owl hair, glokenspiel, mask and cape

[radiant drum]

Dreams for example had major changes in beta while the season was already Live, cause quests would take many weeks

[static saffron]

Any videos that explain what was changed during the other 8 seasons? I know what was changed for assembly since I lurked and actually tested some stuff myself

[radiant drum]

For every single change? Probably not But I would like to see that too

[crude turret]

and that matches with the "the owl hair is accessible in beta because people bought it before it was changed to ultimate" talk

[spark lance]

Glad to see changes being made to assembly even though it's live. Some of the items need some spit shining

[static saffron]

I know tara has some beta videos, not sure if they have some stuff that was changed

[crude turret]

it would be so cool if we had some kind of newspaper that would talk about those old old facts

[radiant drum]

You can learn some random trivia just hanging out here Even if it's just pieces

Or you could backread over a year of conversation

[sick pendant]

Maybe you can find the major changes in beta updates?
||ull need to scroll a lot||

[static saffron]

Very curious on what was changed during Sanctuary

[slim kayak]

you can tell when invite waves happened when you start seeing hundreds of reactions under every post

[crude turret]

since prophecy beta waves i realised it's safer to be away from this channel for some time during waves...

[static saffron]

Well time to scroll through beta screenshots
Until my phone dies

[sick pendant]

Everything changed when the fire prophet disappeared

[jolly bear]

So... that was the reason why Director have Owl hair ? Because it was Spirit hair and not Ulti ?

[slim kayak]

yeah, even though rhythm lasted only 12 days in beta, some players got owl hair because it wasn't an ultimate yet.

[crude turret]

you mean when he came to the cave, since he never appeared in fact
cause of that i have the headcanon that fire prophet is friends with yeti and both are shy cinnamon rolls

[jolly bear]

Fire prophet friends with yeti ??

[crude turret]

remember, it's headcanon
don't put me in trouble cause i said that

[sick pendant]

Shy?
Not in my eyes.

The fire prophet radiates toxic masculinity in my vision. They didn't appear cuz they couldn't be bothered by us not because they're were shy

[crude turret]

tho fire prophet is canonically very far from shy

[crude turret]

even if it could seem like it, i try not to put irl problems into the game lore, mostly because it's unpleasant

[carmine thorn]

Fire prophet was just pulling the weeds outside the cave entrance... They did a good job also. It looks like a desert out there.

[sick pendant]

The only thing that wasn't confusing in the prophecy murals is that vault is inside of the mountain

Everything else was way to vague

[crude turret]

we want lore!
TGC: best I can do is vague. now go nuts in #lore-discussion-spoilers

[static saffron]

Couldn't find anything in beta updates so now I go to beta screenshots

Nvm can't search from date on mobile

[tawdry pine]

I'm reading back into the beta channel: I recall veteran players saying it wasn't that fair respectful pianist came back as a TS since they bought winter piano with real money

[sick pendant]

Why are you interested in that typo of thing anyway

[static saffron]

Idk it's just nice to see what has changed

[north patrol]

The dismiss emote is in the emote menu? :0

[tawdry pine]

Bug!

[radiant drum]

People that got the Winter Pack IAP were given Rhythm's AP though. Some would argue that was a fair trade, some that it wasn't. The nature of purchases and collectibles I guess

[tawdry pine]

Oh I see! Didn't know about that bit, interesting
And thank you for telling me and clearing that up

[tender oasis]

What do you guys thing about the geyser clean up activity ? The frequency for me is very rare (~4h if we counted it right) and i was expected more than just burning a few balls. Doesnt require much skills, or teamwork either or active clean up from our parts. For some reason the idea reminded me of the first Ark quest the execution and current form of the quest, not so much.

[vague haven]

the idea is great but the activity is a bit too simple

[crude turret]

yes, from what I saw you just deep call with some people?
I thought of some kind of drainage or even some machine to suck the oil water out. even if we would power said machine with deep calls
or the big manta whale drinks it up-

[spark lance]

How long does the event last for?

[tawdry pine]

With beta you never know it'll probably get announced in News when more is developed-

[crude turret]

it'll start late this month™️

[spark lance]

Assembly is almost over though in Beta, but I really had a lot of fun there

[sleek pelican]

At first i thought we would be picking up trashes

[sick pendant]

It would actually feel more natural if the oil leak was around the geyser aswell. Not just inside the geyser.

Besides it doesn't feel polluted rn and the activity we do to clean it up doesn't seem like cleaning. It's rather self cleaning and we're there to just collect some wax... Meh idk

[crude turret]

actually, how would we dispose these kinds of oils from the oceans?
irl

[sick pendant]

We don't

[spark lance]

Yeah, I feel like that as well. Speaking of which, where's your Sister?

[gilded parrot]

Reminder that as testers, we should try looking for things in Beta ourselves when possible! If you are still struggling to find something, please remember to submit it in #beta-feedback as that feedback is very valuable for TGC and can help many players in Live

[tawdry pine]

I'm honestly busy to enter beta for a long time- hopefully I'll be more active once school gives me a break

[sick pendant]

Finding dora ignis' sister

[sleek pelican]

Good thing bot didn't say "i ate it" this time

[spark lance]

Sorry, Skybot. You're not the one I'm responding to

[static saffron]

Isn't it shiro?

[sick pendant]

Is it?

[crude turret]

i wonder if it would be nice if we could dispose of the oil irl logically but with the game mechanics. like deep calling we summon a krill that comes and drink it up or all the crabs in the island drink it up, or we storage the oil inside those golden ball thingies
also, about those golden balls. I think those, with the oil, symbolises a wreckage, since those balls are also in the broken ark in wasteland
there, i saw a sunk boat in the sand now-

[cosmic axle]

I agree, from what I've seen it feels like a self cleaning thing, rather than us cleaning up the shore ourselves.. I've yet to experience it tho

[sick pendant]

It definetly doesn't need our help to clean itself up so the current activity is not suitable for the event imo

[spark lance]

Do you want me to call Shiro over here?

[cosmic axle]

I just got home from work, have we learned more about the geyser itself yet? Timing and such?

[lyric kite]

I still have yet to experience the activity myself, I keep waiting around Sanctuary for long periods at a time but nothing ever happens

[sick pendant]

Do you want to turn this chat into family drama?

[crude turret]

the activity is really suitable for the event
the only problem is the way it's practised, that doesn't look too... "real" or nice looking in a way

[cosmic axle]

Really I just want some sandcastles in Sanctuary 😭

[carmine thorn]

Yeah, I waited for 45mins and gave up because I didn't want to be accused of being socially disengaging.

[static saffron]

Me who's socially awkward everywhere

[sick pendant]

By activity I meant our activity. Which is just standing there waiting for wax

Besides the fact of it spitting out orbs which we remember from the new year celebration isn't the best option. Since the orbs are associated with ornaments and celebration and now they're used to embody a completely different idea

[lyric kite]

I haven't even seen the orbs lol, only in screenshots. Nothing has happened so far in the game while I'm there, and I've waited over an hour at one point while doing other things before I gave up and closed the game

[cosmic axle]

I think some black mist should come up out of the geyser like it's trying to work normally, but can't and we work to clean it up 🤔

[sick pendant]

Maybe we can block the small geisers surrounding the main one and by doing that we can increase the pressure in the main one and by that cause an explosion

[spark lance]

What will it do next?

[sick pendant]

Stays empty untill it would activate itself again but now it's just refilled

[crude turret]

honestly, i do think the orbs are just to give wax and so TGC doesn't need to create a completely different object to transform into wax, instead of spawning wax all of a sudden
so i don't think it have any relation to the chinese new year event...

[slim kayak]

i've honestly given up on the geyser. i've already left feedback on it, but whatever timer the event is on is way too long

[stark cloud]

Or we let crab drink that water.

[lyric kite]

Yeah, some of these ideas are interesting, but we have to keep in mind too we don't know what all of their technical limitations are and what would actually be possible and reasonable for them to create in a limited time period.

I'm going to leave feedback soon as well, because if this goes to live as-is there are just going to be a million questions a day about what are we supposed to do with the geyser because nothing is happening.

[carmine thorn]

I am sure it is due to us getting the mechanic before the art and design team was able to go over and add new assets. This usually happens in beta. Flashbacks to the Ikea furniture in the trials.

[cosmic axle]

And maybe it could go off again with the pure water and leave like a rainbow behind with the wax until it resets 🤔

[crude turret]

yes, but we don't know for sure at what extent their limitations go. that's why any kind of idea is good, even those seemingly impossible might spark something in some dev's brain and create a new and viable idea

[stark cloud]

How about we let the rock bath in that water.

[lyric kite]

That's true, and it's still good to submit ideas. I just see it happen a lot that people get hyped up over player suggestions and then get disappointed when they don't happen, so just keep expectations within reason I guess

[ruby parcel]

y e s

[crude turret]

yes that's the most important part about giving ideas and feedback actually

[spark lance]

Shiro? Are you there?

[karmic kestrel]

Updoot

[tired mica]

If anyone still hasn't done the geyser, I've witnessed it 3 times now all starting at 8:15ish tgc time (2x pm and once am) not sure about interval between activations at all.

[subtle iris]

did anyone else just get the update notification or was that just me

[ionic sorrel]

question did the camera in office have a function? or nah

new area in office🧍

[daring jewel]

there’s a camera in office??

[vapid briar]

#beta-announcements

[orchid yacht]

on red yes

[sleek pelican]

Yay open office

[ionic sorrel]

Thanks!!

[real hull]

yaay

[viral atlas]

there is a geyser event!? I didn't knew about that😅

[orchid yacht]

there's nothing there about the camera
slowmode go brrrr

[vapid briar]

you sure?

[tawdry pine]

Oooo can't wait to test the cameras

[viral atlas]

👀 so ktjn saying there is actual functionality to the cams!? 👀

I'll go figure them out even if takes hours

[rustic imp]

🔹 Office cameras should work correctly now
had to look at patch notes twice

[orchid yacht]

apparently there is and I somehow missed it despite reading it three times thanks

[modern pebble]

I think that for something they will open office during the event

[vapid briar]

key word "should"

[sick pendant]

Welp. Gotta wait for the update to arrive

[daring jewel]

wait there’s cameras in the office? where and what do they do Xd

[real hull]

android gang

[karmic kestrel]

Imagine the camera there to test out and when it's 2years skyniversity, they'll live broadcast it

[orchid yacht]

it's in the old Journey office place that used to have sand

[sick pendant]

Quick question. Is there actually a studio in that part of the building in real life?

[modern pebble]

Hint: remember that office has two floors

[fleet sorrel]

There are a bunch of dark plants by the black geyser. But I can’t burn them.

[vapid briar]

I haven't been to the real office building in over a year, I couldn't tell you.

[tawdry pine]

Ah yes, pandemic, right

[sick pendant]

Oh are you working from home?

[vapid briar]

Correct, we've been WFH for the entirety of the pandemic.

[tawdry pine]

Ik this ain't beta related but I'm very glad the team has been taking precautions

[sick pendant]

Do you like working from home tho?
I personally loved that I could do my work in pyjamas

[vapid briar]

just imagine for a second... you know Nick from the Assembly video we put out? I've never met him in person.

[karmic kestrel]

So the whole idea of climbing on tree with a pot to record is all him?

[tawdry pine]

Don't forget the pot

[sick pendant]

I can imagine the moment Ktjn watching the video and saying
"wait, who's that?"

[stray elk]

Uzephi when you go on warp to me, oh wait android is 1 hour behind, and it's 11:45...

[mortal pendant]

What's the clean the geyser event?

[vapid briar]

i know his face, lol, i have no idea how tall he is xD

[sick pendant]

Like a......

Tall like a......

Tall like a tree

[vapid briar]

i will accept no other answer

[stray elk]

Measure how many pots he is

[real hull]

what if the pots are small?

[tawdry pine]

"How tall are you?" "idk like 25 pots"

[stray elk]

NEW SAUNCTUARY MUSIC AND ITS SAD SOUNDING NOOOOOO DARK PLANTS BOAT BOATTT

i sense you're implying something not exactly family friendly ignis
