beta-discussion

[kindred fossil]

No that's not what I meant

[wispy mulch]

Wow chat is lively someone fill attacko in on the hype

[orchid yacht]

oh, the game starts with the cutscene from after you go to orbit, and the game tells tou to go to isle

[chrome ivy]

Let's going back to orbit

[tawdry pine]

Shared Spaces are being tested!

[wispy mulch]

WOAH ...idk what that is

[tawdry pine]

We get our own spot in the treehouse to decorate with props :D

[orchid yacht]

you make a little nook in the treehouse with your props and other people get to see it

[wispy mulch]

ATTACKO CAN STOP BEING HOMELESS??

[sick pendant]

For the cheap price of 1 candle per minute

[kindred fossil]

Shared Space is vaguely explained in #beta-announcements, swing by if you want to be filled in on what's new and whatnot

[orchid yacht]

mm a single minute and it costs a candle
cheap price for doing essentially nothing but being kinda cute

[sick pendant]

✨purpose✨

[kindred fossil]

#beta-screenshots-videos also, we like to show off

[wispy mulch]

OHH THERES A PATIO TOO

[orchid yacht]

i hope this feature isn't done yet

[kindred fossil]

It isn't

[orchid yacht]

I hope this feature isn't anywhere remotely near done yet

[kindred fossil]

It's mentioned that it's still actively in development so there might be some changes in the future

[orchid yacht]

true

🤞

[steady pond]

oh wait. wrong chat LOL

[pale junco]

I was right about renovating a tree house

[sick pendant]

Ok but here's a roleplay yt video idea. So you know the TV shows that go renovating ppls houses

[proud coral]

steals

[pale junco]

[proud coral]

No jk, someone else could make that work much better than me

[bright portal]

can we have a mini blossom tree for our shared space ?

[sick pendant]

I'll be the judge or the owner of the house

[steady pond]

ill do you one better, we should just have a tree that changes with IRL seasons

[bright portal]

they should have done that with the days of bloom tree

[sick pendant]

I wrote this in feedback when we were testing bloom.

The tree changes colours in summer it's green in fall it's orange red ish and perhaps when the leaves start falling that's a new event for free. You only need to change the leave colour

[steady pond]

you need to change petal shape too cuz bloom's leaves were very obviously sakura petals

[gritty wyvern]

For shared space, you can only add the props you own, right? Oh sad

[sick pendant]

Still is less work than building a whole new event like sanctuary imo... Unless there's the risk of magenta kingdom again ofc

[kindred fossil]

They've added a lot of instructions too, I don't think I can fit everything in #beta-screenshots-videos

[lunar zealot]

Shared spaces, huh. They’re fun, kinda like a small house but when you share your space… it really just says “goodbye FPS”. Had a solid laugh at that

[sick pendant]

You could also add some sort of lore to it. Like it's "the tree of life-spawning of megabird herself"

[zealous badger]

||Just tested the Shop “?” Menu and was annoyed at first when Krill wouldn’t even look at me. Just went right over me like I was invisible. Rude. Then I dropped the menu and waited to be spotted, brought it up again, and he lost me. IT MAKES YOU INVISIBLE!!! wth, man, why didn’t I know about this sooner?||

[naive solar]

it feels like it's holding the player's hand way too much

[sullen relic]

that's how the home button was behaving in more recent builds, though i don't think anyone understands the reasoning for the change in behaviour

[tawdry pine]

"hey come here I want to test something!!"
: I'm legally blind

[zealous badger]

I do like the addition of the spirits reacting once you see them off at temple. It’s so cute and feels so rewarding for them to acknowledge you with different reactions. Some bow or wave. It’s just cute.

[sick pendant]

[formal lintel]

Simple question here. Is the share spaces is the new playground? Or the nintendo space?

[kindred fossil]

I think it does a little but, Sky is very confusing and it's nice to have that being made a little more clear

[naive solar]

isle was magical to me because it managed to lead you from one place to the other without the aid of cutscenes, yes I know there are cutscenes but those only exist to show new players things they might miss during their playthrough

[ember cedar]

share spaces is like

your little home where you can decorate using the props

[rain delta]

I think it holds your hand too much too, it’s funny I’m saying that since I was the one who wanted there to be more words when explaining lore... but this one definitely feels too much in comparison to the old one sighh

[formal lintel]

Thanks

[silent lily]

Yeah, we think those lines are too obvious because we know everything
But think about the new players who will have no idea what's going on
For them, these help texts are amazing! They even give new info to us , "not necessarily new" players

[tawdry pine]

I find that good tbh, that way new players aren't so lost.
Some manage to get the hang of it quick while others need a little more guidance!

[sullen relic]

according to when "playground" was used in #beta-announcements, it'd refer to the Nintendo space -- shared spaces is something else that was only introduced in this latest build

[rain delta]

Idk what to think, maybe I’m attached to the old ones more... liked how the old intro had a little fire crackling noise in the background, like someone is getting ready to tell an epic tale

[sleek pelican]

Oh i remember there was a survey about new player's difficulty when they first playing Sky
So it's for this change in isle eh:pWow:

[silent lily]

Idk which version of isle/"prologue" of the game was better.
But the new one feels better and more understandable, especially for new Players

[naive solar]

I disagree. Isle is linear in its design compared to the other realms. It was very easy to navigate. The biggest clue as to where you should go is the big structure - The Elder's Temple.

[zealous badger]

Anyone know any other things spirits do now to be more “personable”? I’ve noticed they bow or wave to you when you relieve them and see them off at temple. It’s really cute. I’ve heard they watch you more closely when you walk near their grave? Things in their social areas. I think these things are already super cute, but wonder if there are more things I haven’t noticed or heard about yet.

[sullen relic]

it's pretty easy to remember where to go as long as the "tap on yourself to see where the light guides your way" prompt appears once or twice -- that always sends newbies in the right direction if they're totally lost (provided they don't wander into an area where that doesn't show, like sanctuary)

[silent lily]

I remember they bowed and waved before the update as well? When we brought them to the temple

[rain delta]

I mean.. in all honesty, how much more guidance does a player need than a giant glowing halo around the winged light in isle... I feel it’s pretty straight forward
I do think the new area to daylight having the path makes sense, I remember getting confused when I first landed there cause it looked like the back of something.. instead of an entrance to something

[zealous badger]

Hmm, I guess I just don’t remember that as it’s been so long. They definitely watch you more now which is neat.

[steady pond]

older games tend to throw you in and let you figure stuff out on your own and thats what i appreciated about sky's first intro...... outside of movement tutorials i dont really think you need much else, text can take you out of the experience if theres too much of it

[silent lily]

I don't think the update makes navigation easier/harder
It just makes more sense with how isle is and how the intro takes place.
And those little help texts about evrything are a boon for new players.
Idk about others, but when i was new, i did wish if there was more of a help so that i know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
I'm glad they made these minor yet important changes

[naive solar]

The extra cutscenes are a nice and welcome change but it's holding the player's hand way too much. Visual clues are scattered throughout the realm to guide you to the next place. I get that it's supposed to teach the mechanics of the game but I feel like that's better done when the player has control entirely.

[steady pond]

yess omg i just want to roam! i hate games where tutorials lock me from doing things because theyre just feeding me text

[zealous badger]

I remember being annoyed about these hand hold moments as I was beginning my journey on Beta. Like, I know how to jump I was already doing it. And as for taking off on your wings, it’s kinda hard to miss that button on the screen enticing you to press it, it would have been fine without instruction.

[silent lily]

Also, as a lore person, these texts are nice.
They're just elaborating on the story , which is nice

[steady pond]

im taking BOTW as a reference point and you can correct me if im wrong, but there wasnt any tutorial beyond "ok heres how to move and interact with items", and "use this button to attack" and then it was just like. the entire area was free for you to explore however you wanted
and i think thats what sky should embody

[zealous badger]

They used Rhoam to guide you to the right path, but basically let you do what you wanted, yes. I ran around chopping trees and smacking enemies in the face before I went where I was told.

[steady pond]

this isnt relevant to the topic at hand but i guess this is why OOBs are well liked
for a game where the biggest draw is the ability to fly wherever you want, if people cant get somewhere they'll try their damndest to do so lol

[zealous badger]

I’d agree with that.

[silent lily]

Also i feel like we're not the correct judges in this lol
Only the new players can truly say if the new "tutorial" is too straightforward for them.
We've already went through it a 100 times, i think that's why things seem more straightforward to us than they really are.
Anyways, i just love that the little texts pop up, give hints about the story and what we have to do. Feels like someone, is guiding us and interacting with us

[steady pond]

wdym, you only go through the first tutorial once? ....except for the times when it bugs out and keeps asking you to forge your candle

[naive solar]

Then why are we even beta testing?

[nova bay]

They only show for new players or also for veterans first time going through ? (I want to see them XD )

[sullen relic]

Keep in mind though, Sky was targetted at more than just experienced gamers: some of the tutorials which might feel a bit overbearing to us are probably aimed at people who've never gamed or held a controller before, and those sorts of new players might need a little more guidance to not feel completely overwhelmed (I'm thinking in terms of giving this to somebody's grandmother and trying to get them involved with their family)

[steady pond]

but i feel like rather than text there could be other visual cues that could be used instead

[zealous badger]

Hmm, I kinda like the feeling behind this, that something is guiding you, but I didn’t feel like I was being guided. I know I felt more annoyed being forced to go certain directions. Well, not “forced”, but kinda heavily influenced to go a certain direction.

[kindred fossil]

Oh wow, ||Candlemaker now greets you at Prairie social just like the old Light Awaits NPC. "The Spirits you have already saved will descend to thank you with gifts." He then points at the outfit shrines after you redeem the free hair to try it out||

[silent lily]

Ok that's nice, I've seen alot of first time playing sky videos and noone is ever able to figure out that there are Cosmetics we can buy and we can change them in closet. That's actually great that someone tells us that

[tawdry pine]

That's so cool!!

[rain delta]

My biggest issue with the new cave cutscenes is how easily frustrating it could be when you aren’t a new player :( they keep triggering even as you’re trying to run past them and if someone else ends up activating the candles, you’re gonna have to press skip 4 or so times ;-;

[vapid briar]

Full disclosure, the changes to Isle of dawn were not meant for you all.
It is targeted at players who have never heard of sky, or tgc, and based on a lot of feedback from testers who also have never heard of sky or are unfamiliar with tgc or these kinds of games.
We have these things on beta to make sure the changes are stable and bug free, and catch any odd occurrences that did not take place during internal testing and iteration. Because of this certain aspects of your feedback are going to be loaded with knowledge newbies don't have and a little bit of prejudice against changes in general.
It might be kind of wild to think that the overwhelmingly vast majority of people who download sky never make it to the dawn temple before uninstalling and walking away forever.

[silent lily]

I feel like maybe I put it the wrong way.
What i meant is evrything will seem more straightforward to us because we already know what it is, we have already experienced it.
But for someone who has never been through that place, it's a totally different thing. That's why i said, only the new people going through isle cam accurately tell whether the intro is too guiding or it's fine.
I didn't say we shouldn't give feedback
I hole you understand what i mean :D

[zealous badger]

I would like to have been informed that we didn’t need to buy things from the constellation after we finish our first realm. We weren’t, were we? As a baby I accidentally spent a bunch of my candles because I didn’t realize that I didn’t need to purchase the things at the end. My Fiancé had to stop me.

[valid terrace]

Wait, I woke up to a lore-y Isle???
lovely thing to wake up to, I’m excited

finally, spirit lore

[prisma mesa]

I remember i downloaded sky with my friend and I'm already very interested in the cosmetic, but don't know how to purchase it. My friend ain't very interested and deleted sky in an instant becos she couldn't understand. But there's a lot of tutorial in yt that help me get through every realm

[naive solar]

Influencing isn't bad imo, but taking control away and insisting on moving the character to a place you don't want them to go is
The cosmetic tutorial is very well explained, as a moth I actually remember struggling to understand how those worked

[rain delta]

But ktjin will these cut scenes activate for us as well? What if I merge in with players who keep lighting the candles at isle’s caves ;-; I can’t even run past them and I’d have to keep pressing the skip button

[zealous badger]

I have also been snatched by the top of pride rock where wl is and forced to fall out of the sky. Unable to move. I have to restart. =_= It’s happened one to many times.

[steady pond]

lol if there needs to be a tutorial about anything itd have been about how you shouldnt carelessly spend candles on benches

[tawdry pine]

Breaking news, moths can now complete isle constellation in record time 📈

[vapid briar]

that sounds like a bug, but i'll have to check with the folks who worked on the dawn changes. if things remain that way in the next build, please let me know.

[kindred fossil]

I haven't merged on a fresh account, which should be the main concern so new players wouldn't be overwhelmed
Most players I've led and been led by fly above the cave to avoid cutscenes

[vapid briar]

#beta-feedback

[valid terrace]

I’d like to be able to voluntarily see these changes - it’s valuable lore.
lore chat will adore it

will go on Beta at some point and write a thing

[zealous badger]

Ah, I’m constantly hitting skip in Forest Temple Area. Sometimes more than 3 times. So that’s probably a bug. I’ll report it next time it happens.

[steady pond]

this would be hilarious if it was even considered because your moth avatar will go near a bench and the text at the bottom fades in to read 'dont do it newbie save ur candles'

[silent lily]

"hey bud, spend carefully"

[valid terrace]

so spirits are much more sentient than I thought...interesting

[steady pond]

"the lv 6 wave emote is more worth it than this lowly bench, child of light.... please reconsider"

[bright portal]

"fam, u gonna be in a financial crisis late game"

[hollow compass]

This is a very interesting comment to me. I remember there being items available in the closet when you arrive at Prairie and someone explaining how to get these items, but it was such a long time ago now and the game has changed in so many ways, perhaps I am now just thinking it was obvious, but it wasn’t.

[silent lily]

This pops us when you enter 1 krill area:
"hey bro, try not to get bonked by the shrimps"

[zealous badger]

It’s hard to miss the flashing closets tho.

[hollow compass]

Or perhaps, I am assuming that anyone who picks up Sky has a basic knowledge and experience of gaming, thus knowing where to look for things.

[sudden flower]

sky is a truly innovative game, not only does it let kids fly and make friends, it also teaches responsible personal finance

[silent lily]

Welp, i missed them

[zealous badger]

I probably did too at the time. XD I was more interested in the benches and grey people.

[tawdry pine]

I can't really say much about the current topic, I was guided and hand holded by a friend when starting out

[valid terrace]

aaa
time to think of what murals to put in my fan season now, there’s actual spirit lore at long last...I have been awaiting it
ones that elaborate on it, maybe?

[silent lily]

Yeah well, when i think from a perspective of someone who has never heard of sky, the changes kinda make sense

[sullen relic]

that's the thing, yeah; we can't account for all the players who don't continue the game shortly after starting it since we're very unlikely to run into them, as opposed to moths who've figured out how to change their hair already

[steady pond]

opinions on this would be subjective for sure, but im glad i got to do everything as a moth from isle to my first eden run alone. i wouldnt have had it any other way. maybe i was lucky to be playing sky at the time i did

[zealous badger]

I’ll say the changes haven’t really hindered me as a vet flying into Isle to get light. Only when going to get wls and even then it’s mild so is it really annoying or problematic?

[valid terrace]

I just feel “finally, some good damn food”

[ember cedar]

i noticed the isles alter isnt glowing blue

[steady pond]

on a serious note do yall think tutorials or some sort of text explaining TSes would be helpful?
god knows the amount of moths who missed their first TS and regret it sorely because it doesnt come for another year (or more) due to RNG

[zealous badger]

Unlike the freaking Trials cutscenes that we have to tediously skip after trials or annoyingly endure at the end of trials to get to the wls. =_=

[rain delta]

The second issue is that anyone can be activating these candles behind you and you’d be currently forced to participate in the next cut scene ;-;
Here’s a scene of me minding my own business and some kid behind me lit the candle stack and I got stuck:

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[tawdry pine]

Y e s

[bright portal]

Maybe there is a way to integrate first time tutorial cutscene for people's first ts?

[carmine thorn]

100% this. I missed Sassy and Hair Tussle appearance due to my moth self not knowing them.

[hollow compass]

Isn’t there one in the game already, when you click their tree? I don’t remember.

[zealous badger]

That would be nice

[silent lily]

Yeah, like if there's a ts and a moth taps the "?" On it for the first time, an intro should apppear explaining how they work
It took me a good amount of time to understand how ts work and that's why i missed crab call and piggyback spirits back then :')

[zealous badger]

You have to find and relive TS to even open their tree.

[hollow compass]

Or perhaps the Inbox can be used for this? Posting tutorials for things you need to know as a newbie?

[rain delta]

I agree, it’s nicer to be exploring the world on your own... a big part of what makes sky fun is exploring every nook and cranny...when someone flies for you, helps collect all the spirits for you, it’s taking away the fun of discovering those components yourself.... which is why I let moths do their own thing and just walk behind them for the duration I’m with them

[bright portal]

The cutscene can mention things like hey, this spirit is time limited and will leave soon , grab their cosmetics before its gone. But don't worry they will return again
Something like that i guess

[sullen relic]

would moths actually even have the candles necessary to chase after the first TS they see? though i suppose it's still good to clue them in sooner rather than later so they don't miss more than one

[hollow compass]

I meant that there was perhaps a ‘?’ in the tree, like there is for the seasonal qg.

[zealous badger]

Or just a scene for every new (To you) TS with a sort of cutscene hint as to their location so we can go relive them without having to look up where to find them.

[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

[silent lily]

Yeah, even if they can't purchase anything, it's just nice to know what they are

[steady pond]

i guess you could also say there is an issue with why TSes have to take precedent over base game cosmetics, but thats like an entire other can of worms to open

[carmine thorn]

They should at least afford wing buff and maybe a few emote tiers. Edit: helps us shepherds let them know about Eden before it leaves also

[rain delta]

Do you guys really want more cutscenes in the game?? I really don’t want to press skip every time a new raveling spirit shows up

[wooden raptor]

If I’m not mistaken, they need to unlock valley first to be able to catch TS though

[silent lily]

I want more cutscenes

[hollow compass]

It doesn’t take all that long to play through the game once.

[zealous badger]

About TS: The scene could be a hint to their location. If you don’t have the spirit’s emote already.

I hate having to look up where to find them.

[prisma mesa]

If tgc put so much tutorial it will only end up like other game where they have a lot of damn text and I usually skip all of it
And i bet it would be hard to explain everything that happen in the game

[silent lily]

Well, i guess it depends, i don't really care because we can always press skip which takes a second. But i guess some players don't like that

[kindred fossil]

Oh I can see that being a problem then

[wooden raptor]

For a person who knows how to play game, it doesn’t take long. But when you don’t know what you are going for it could take up days to get there

[stuck rose]

In my moth days i was so sad that we cant try ts cosmetics in closet

[rain delta]

Exactly, it’s a 2 - 3 hour game when you’re breezing through the arenas, I feel this new isle is just too hand holdy... didn’t they remove so many versions of isle before in beta because it had too much hand holding? I really think it’s redundant to have the camera zoom into the star on the boat in isle... it’s already soo bright with a giant halo on it

[bright portal]

To be fair instead of a cutscene tutorial, like what bleptia said, ts arrival reminder from inbox along with a brief description on how they work would do

[silent lily]

Yeah, that's what i was thinking.
All these things, tutorials seem unnecessary to us , maybe that's just because we aren't new, we always know each and every detail. It's really a day and night difference between us and new players towards whom these changes are directed

[zealous badger]

That’s an excellent idea. I’d also like a hint to their relive location too. Especially for moths. Like, “Forest Brook”

[steady pond]

lol TS's really hold the root to so many of the grievances people have with the game i feel. like

• you have to candle run a bunch, the game gets too grindy, making people quit
• you have to wait for an unknown amount of time to get whatever you want, at which point most people could quit
• the flexing people do before the TS with the limited cosmetic arrives can create a bad experience for people, prompting them to quit

[rain delta]

I like the inbox idea, I really just don’t want more cutscenes in the game, I think it already has a lot of unnecessary ones... or maybe what they can do is disable the activation of these cutscenes when you have a certain amount of progress in the game

[bright portal]

They can even link their TS FAQ in the message , sounds handy to me

Lucky me i managed to grab my first ts but didn't grab the 2nd ts (1st was crab call, 2nd was piggy lvl 2)

[stuck rose]

Don’t they ever think about skip all cutscenes button in settings for experienced players

[ember cedar]

im not sure if anyone answered my question yet but

was anyone able to switch accounts in beta?

[zealous badger]

I got lucky that I had my Fiancé there to help speed run me to get my first TS which was in Vault.

[silent lily]

Welp, it woulve been different if the ts system was never introduced.
Now they can't take it away or remove it because it's already like a huge part of the game.
I do feel that sky would've been better off without any ts system

[gilded talon]

Oh I like this idea

[rain delta]

But they also give people a back up plan - in case you missed something, in case you didn’t join when the season was around, in case you brought a pass but couldn’t finish the season, in case you had to take time off from the game because personal reasons, in case you joined but didn’t know what seasons were so never participated

[bright portal]

Iirc, the reason why some cutscenes are skippable and some are not is due to their engine build. So it takes time for them to even make a skippable cutscene

[rain delta]

There’s so many good things about the ts too, I feel they became a very important part of the game, especially with sky expanding the way it is

[hollow compass]

“- the flexing people do before the TS with the limited cosmetic arrives can create a bad experience for people, prompting them to quit”
But this is something personal that you can’t be made responsible for. Feeling inadequate has more to do with you than others. We should always strive to be kind and respectful in the game, but it’s not possible to know how others perceive that.

[steady pond]

theres good and bad to TS, but i think everyone can agree that the current system needs to be ... looked at ... lol

[stuck rose]

The most annoying scenes now before and after trials and boat to ark

[prisma mesa]

Is there someone who didn't know the setting system is on the top right when you're still a moth? I'm literally confused to how to get home and get back until isle entrance and found nothing lmao, that's how dumb i am when im still a moth

[valid terrace]

finally some spirit lore in Isle though
imma just...hhh
thank you, devs
I take several things back

[zealous badger]

I honestly wouldn’t have much motivation to continue playing if there were no TS’. Events and Seasons just aren’t enough for me. I’d have nothing much to save up for.

[rain delta]

The problem in my opinion is how the daily light system was introduced to reduce the grind, but now cosmetics cost double the price making the daily light systems introduction a complete waste

[ember cedar]

ig you guys are too busy

[valid terrace]

^^^
My grudge with more recent events and additions exactly
such as gay Thrillseeker Rainbow QG’s tree

[sleek pelican]

I had to google everything when i first play 😬 to make friends to open setting to chat. Everything

[zealous badger]

You aren’t supposed to have more than one account. It’s against TOS.

[hollow compass]

Didn’t I reply to that yesterday?

[ember cedar]

i was busy so i didnt see

[steady pond]

oh, definitely. id argue all 3 i list are personal grievances, but its most of the reasonings that i see around on twitter or from friends i introduced the game to who have quit, which is a bit sad... 😔

[hollow compass]

I tagged you, I’m fairly certain.

[ember cedar]

then why is there a switch account option?

[steady pond]

use the searchbar and type "in:beta-testing-discussion mentions: (urself)"

[bright portal]

The reason some cutscenes are skippable and others aren't has to do with how they were built into the engine. The team is working on improving this, but it's going to take a while to sort it out and essentially rework how the whole thing is constructed from the ground up.
About cutscenes by Ktjn for the earlier mentioning

[hollow compass]

A lot of things are in beta because they’re also in Live.

[zealous badger]

Not sure, tho I guess it doesn’t really matter as long as you aren’t using it to benefit one of the accounts. Like heart trading.

[silent lily]

Well, it doens't really matter for me, i don't really care about cosmetics, i think at this point, the only reason i open sky is to chat with friends, play music and do quests so that the pass doens't go to waste.
But i do understand there are a lot of players who play differently, which is expected. There are some who really love to express themselves through Cosmetics. i still remember how many people were ready to quit when the ts pass system was introduced
I'd just say they(ts) can be amazing for some, acceptable for some while horrible for others who experienced the "Cosmetic toxicity"

[valid terrace]

so spirits can move between realms? that clears up some studf

[faint comet]

Anyone on Android or all platforms, in general, that keeps getting screen freeze?

[steady pond]

im pretty sure its cuz theres people who share a device (most commonly iPads) and play on their own separate accounts, stuff like that. i know a couple of friends who do this with their younger siblings

[rain delta]

Needless to say I’m never entering the new isle caves again.. I’m flying over them

[zealous badger]

Makes sense. Thanks 🙏

[valid terrace]

good lord I remember that
I got rather distressed kcjfhdufurfj
but the system was worth a try

[sullen relic]

from what i've seen, the price range of the cosmetics haven't changed since halfway through 2020 or so -- they haven't increased around or because of the daily light system, though i also don't know if you meant "the price of cosmetics doubling" relative to when the TS system first started (where everything was extremely cheap in comparison to halfway through 2020)

[silent lily]

Welp ||~~ it kinda made me sad how many people chose Cosmetics over friends, but i think evryone has their reason and I don't need to know theirs~~||

[bright portal]

tldr: you cant please everyone but can only decide whats best for all in general

[fervent patrol]

Also, I’m curious about the new Isle cutscene.... I’m not a beta player, but I’m curious about it cause lore
Did the lore of Sky get revamped? Interesting, it seems the lore of Sky isn’t actually set in stone and the devs are still working on it, so it changes from time to time

[rain delta]

In this sense, I really meant the event cosmetics... a prime example of it being the rainbow cape..

[sullen relic]

oh right, the event cosmetics are another story entirely

[gilded talon]

Cuz maybe different family members share the same device to play?

[hollow compass]

I got a really weird bug yesterday that I’m unsure I can replicate: my controller ran out of battery and then I suddenly couldn’t scroll emote/closet menus by using the screen input instead. Had to restart my phone.

[silent lily]

I don't think it got revamped, there are just more hints about the story and the gameplay both

[craggy karma]

"Cosmetic toxicity" is still in the game? After 1.5 years?

[rain delta]

Wait I’m lost the spirits are no longer there in isle?? I can’t go to their gravestones and have them appear

[zealous badger]

Wanted to clarify since a point was brought up. Wasn’t trying to scare you or anything. It’s against TOS to use other accounts to the benefit of one account, but having more than one on a system isn’t necessarily against TOS on its own.

Switching would be as simple as choosing sign in method and clicking an account linked to your other account. Like google play being your main account for example and Nintendo being a different account.

[wooden raptor]

Switching accounts also make it possible to switch devices. You can play through your phone or your tablet or your switch this way. It doesn’t always mean having multiple accounts

[ember cedar]

ohhh

[ember cedar]

I have my sounds off so i wouldnt hear ping sounds
i would only see the notifs

[hollow compass]

And like I explained yesterday, you can’t switch accounts in beta, because you have to accept the invite through the account you play.

[silent lily]

That's something that can't be changed, because that depends on the people who are playing the game. There are still many who don't like moths, don't be friends with people who don't have nice Cosmetics i have experienced it myself so

[hollow compass]

Shallow people exist everywhere.

[bright portal]

that's a really sad way to look at a game tbh.

[sullen relic]

that makes sense to me relative to how android seems to behave, but it doesn't make as much sense to me with iOS since Game Center and your Apple ID (which is what TestFlight actually uses) can be completely dissociated

[kindred fossil]

It's moreso changes to the tutorial rather than lore, things are much made more clear to new players, it's nothing were not aware of

[naive solar]

Let's not belittle others on how they choose to play the game, there are lots of different play styles that might not suit you at all.

[valid terrace]

I don’t really look after moths out of an anxiety of feeling considered responsible for a first impression, and fear of messing up and therefore their view of the game
the difference is that’s out of a genuine reason rather than “new people bad”

[rain delta]

Which is why I think the traveling spirits level that playing ground... everyone has a chance at them, some people may not like it, but current moths who enter the game, current players purchasing season passes, are doing so with the understanding that at some point these cosmetics will return for in game currency

[hollow compass]

Well, maybe. But we’re highly discouraged to have multiple beta accounts anyway.

[gilded talon]

That I agree, but on the other hand, looking down upon other players just because they don’t have nice cosmetics, or being selfish and wanting an exclusiveness of your own cosmetic is a toxic behavior and is against the value of friendliness and altruism of the game.

[wooden raptor]

My best skyfriend and I didn’t have piggy or warp unlocked for a long time because we were both broke. But it doesn’t mean that cosmetics worth more than friendship. I can unlock the piggy with my friend anytime but the timely events or ts won’t come back again or soon. It’s related to how you prefer to play the game

[rain delta]

They kind of made the new intro to sky where the cut scene after orbit is played at the beginning, like journey’s.

[bright portal]

this is the first time i see Rageleaf online, is that a new staff member?

[zealous badger]

I personally like having new moths to look after, but I’m really stingy about my candles after all these new events that have cropped up. I need 200 per TS, just to make sure I can buy everything, and now 245 for Rainbow Event. I can’t afford friendship right now so I just don’t add people or update friendships. It’s really kinda depressing that I am forced to choose between one or the other, but I choose the cosmetics because I’m compulsive about it. It’s what allows me to enjoy the game.

[steady pond]

for sure. i myself dont add moths as much as i used to because of a few bad experiences, but it doesnt give me justification to be mean to them for no reason lol. as cute as our avatars are in the game, the people behind them are very much real

[naive solar]

That's true. It's not nice to just get on and see the words "cosmetic toxicity" because there's tons of people who intend on collecting cosmetics. I thought those words were directed at those people. My bad

[ember cedar]

I don't add moths cause most of the ones I friend don't play anymore

[steady pond]

hopefully the new additions to isle will lessen that from happening

[spark lance]

I don't know how but today i met Definickly Foxie and Nastymold

[zealous badger]

That too. Cosmetics can’t just leave you. Lol

[valid terrace]

ok but I do want Nod again soon for the sake of a lot of Switch players having access to one of The most useful emotes Ever

[rain delta]

Nastymold??? ;-; why does everyone run into her except me ;-;

[covert hemlock]

She does come on here sometimes😂

[steady pond]

nod is an essential emote and shouldve been in the base game, you cant change my mind

[ember cedar]

Ye

[valid terrace]

we need Nod again as hhh

[covert hemlock]

Yes pls

[spice mason]

And shrug imo

[valid terrace]

nod repeat for switch moths whenst
that’d be genuinely great

[steady pond]

right like, how do you have "No" as one of the first emotes you learn but not "yes"

[covert hemlock]

Why do I feel that we are getting one of those emotes as next ts?

[bright portal]

u need a rare seasonal emote to even symbolize agreement in the game tgc why

[rain delta]

My most used emotes are honk, bow, laugh and cry

[zealous badger]

They both have come back as far as I recall. They have equal chance of returning tho. I’d love one to come back. A break would allow me to not have to grind to the bone for events and TS’. If even one TS between now and end of Rainbow Event is a repeat or Sanctuary or Prophecy I’ll be spared and could afford Rainbow Cape and all the other items without worry.

[covert hemlock]

Honk is an emote? Yeah right

[steady pond]

i love that most people use bow as a greeting lol. we're all so naturally polite

[prisma mesa]

*spamming bow after lighting stranger

[covert hemlock]

Tru that

[gilded talon]

Ye I know collecting cosmetics is a reason and huge motivation to play the game for many. I think that’s a pretty valid reason, we all enjoy Sky for different reasons yet here we are having fun all together, whether it’s for friends, or cosmetics or any other reasons. I don’t think when they say “cosmetic toxicity” it’s directed at people who play the game for cosmetics, but rather those who belittle others with it.

[naive solar]

i look like im headbanging

[hallow igloo]

I think waving Is a nice break from the norm

[zealous badger]

And thanks for helping with things too. I know when it first happened to me I was so pleased. It feels so nice. Now I do it all the time too.

[covert hemlock]

Max headbanging

[prisma mesa]

Usually we use hand wave when we're about to leave, don't know why

[steady pond]

i thought the same. its always "wave as in byebye," not "wave as in hello"

[rain delta]

I remember someone saying shared space is a space where the assembly props will have collision... so true hahaha

[covert hemlock]

Sky Disney.... When?

[zealous badger]

That’s what I thought too. Like those people who act like past season cosmetics, not just ults, shouldn’t come back. Saying they’d quit if those things were all brought back because then they would lose their “exclusivity”. I’d rather those items not die out after all those people inevitably quit playing.

[ember cedar]

Plot twist it was a bye emote the whole time /j

[vital sentinel]

uhhh idk that sound so expensive-

[zealous badger]

I greet hello with the lvl 6 wave. I generally say bye to strangers with lvl 1.

[steady pond]

similarly, the hypocrisy behind people who want both TS and android exclusive packs cuz of the switch pack will continue befuddling me forever

[hallow igloo]

It's so tricky to please an entire player base, isn't it?

[covert hemlock]

Even God can't pls everyone

[sudden flower]

meanwhile blow kiss can be used for hello, goodbye, anything!

[steady pond]

this is... the first time ive ever heard anyone use it like that

[spice mason]

I use blow kiss as a greeting.

[blazing sequoia]

Ios still has no exclusive pack either...

[gilded talon]

Exactly, and Sky is a game about sharing most of all joy shared is joy multiplied

[vital sentinel]

i blow kiss everyone

[zealous badger]

I spam that at everyone I play with. My children!!! I love thee.

[vital sentinel]

whoever write message that keep dissapearing, rip

[spice mason]

Aha yea

[hallow igloo]

When was the last chance to get the blow kiss emote again?

[covert hemlock]

Wow

[zealous badger]

I’m surprised by that. The lvl 6 just seems so enthusiastic. Like you’re really excited to see someone. Level 1 feels calm like a gentle bye.

[chrome ivy]

In my mind Beta Cape is already a exclusive to some iOS player.

[sudden flower]

especially lvl 2 (?) blow kiss, i dont like accidentally doing the lvl 4 because that one looks so cocky haha (fitting of the actor ofc)

[spark lance]

I was using that too but then i saw some comments about ppl thought someone using blowkiss just weirdo and unappropiate so im using it only i’m comfortable with

[chrome ivy]

I know there's a founder's cape but it's too expensive and beta cape is free/only iOS

[fervent patrol]

It seems Valley is now kinda purple? Based from the portals and stuff. Tho, I have to admit, red fits Valley a lot better. Purple fits better if it was Dusk themed, and GW represents Dusk. Valley is Sunset

[prisma mesa]

I usually use lvl 1 bow as a greeting and lvl 6 hand wave as a goodbye

[zealous badger]

I wish he’d come back. I need to level up my blow kiss. QAQ I was a moth when he first came.

[spice mason]

Blow kiss pants supremacy...

[naive solar]

Now that Isle has been revamped to include new murals and story pieces, what's going to happen to the other island at home?

[hallow igloo]

Nothing's -really- exclusive, since you can merge accounts to get them on other platforms. I mean sure, you need to other platform to obtain it, but it's never really locked to any others

[vital sentinel]

welp, i guess i am a weirdo- but i didnt mean anything bad, thats just how i greet everyone

[fervent patrol]

Also, I prefer the old murals in Isle. Well, not that I hate the new one, but they seem a bit too big? I liked it when it was a lot smaller and simplistic

[sudden flower]

i love that there's like a lowkey skykid culture around how we use emotes like wave and bow, there's certain "etiquette" in some areas and of course the little tricks and glitches passed from veteran to moth like a tradition

[spark lance]

Yes, that emoto is one of my favourites and i waited to have it so long

Never thought some thing like that

[fervent patrol]

Like, the new murals in Isle look bigger than our skid now-

[vital sentinel]

tbh i saw blowkiss as innocent goodbye gesture that children always do to people they close to. my little sis always do that haha

[covert hemlock]

How to pronounce skids? Sky-ds or just skids?

[zealous badger]

Alright off to bed with me. Good night skids!! Hope you all have a good day/night depending on where you are. Don’t forget to eat and drink when you need to. And rest if you need to too. ❤️

[minor falcon]

just skids

[naive solar]

Idk always pronounced them like you pronounce skit

[fervent patrol]

I pronounce them weirdly in my head. In my head, its "Es-kid"

[hallow igloo]

Ess-kids for me

[covert hemlock]

So many interpretations

[vital sentinel]

i legit just pronouce it as skid

[fervent patrol]

Also, are the old murals now non-canon? I always liked them cause I saw them as extentions of the Prophecy Murals. Well, more like the Prophecy murals were extentions of the old ones since they were there first

[naive solar]

soup

[vital sentinel]

ski-d

[covert hemlock]

I pronounce them Sky-ds bcuz Sky... feels more legit

[naive solar]

I don't think so, the old murals are just as canon as the new ones. The new ones are more friendly to the Skykids who had just fallen to an abandoned kingdom

[fervent patrol]

Tho, RIP old cutscene...

But you know... the new text seems to strongly correlate with the Elder pin poems...

[vital sentinel]

sgkagsjs wait i need to cr on live first i will open beta later eee

[fervent patrol]

"Dear Child, we saw of your return to us" - Isle Elder pin poem

[naive solar]

Also I think murals revealed during seasons aren't placed chronologically, it consistently shows you the past but it might have happened before Enchantment or Rhythm

[fervent patrol]

"Dear child, we waited your return" - Forest Elder pin poem

[covert hemlock]

The amount of time taken to research that piece will be a lot

[vital sentinel]

here is the thing worth mentioning

isle elder and forest elder only refer the child as one being (instead of Children, which is prural). this means that before whatever cathastrope that destroyed the kingdom happened, there was one Child of Light

[hybrid dust]

Are these changes from the current beta version that we're just now discovering or did I miss an update lol

[covert hemlock]

Nope. Explore a little bit and see

[fervent patrol]

Well, we do know there is one child, which is the kid that crash landed in Isle in that spirit memory...

Prince theories intensifies

[vital sentinel]

y e s s s s s

and the fact that the fallen child on isle fell with star of bethlehem symbol-

[fervent patrol]

Wait, who is talking to us in the new cutscenes??? Not the Light, since they refer to the Light as something seperate from them

The voices of the dead????

[covert hemlock]

Vault elder?

[vital sentinel]

wait are you guys talking about isle cutscene or intro cutscene???

[vital sentinel]

maybe the original Child of Light inside us?

there is a theory that we, children of the light, were made from fragments of the original Child of Light

[fervent patrol]

I mean the new stuff in Isle. Now, there's someone talking to us as we go through Isle and enter Prairie, but idk who is

Intro cutscene probs gone now

[minor falcon]

I'll check with a new moth rn

[fervent patrol]

Go through #beta-screenshots-videos, you'll see what I mean

[covert hemlock]

Yeah bug reports did help

[vital sentinel]

out of topic but is it okay to ate raw butter

[fervent patrol]

[covert hemlock]

Unsalted?

[vital sentinel]

y e s

[covert hemlock]

Sure you can. It is not poisonous. But mostly used for cooking and baking

[fervent patrol]

[vital sentinel]

its so smooth when you bite into it, but kinda oily on tongue-

[prisma mesa]

Can't even imagine

[fervent patrol]

N o

[covert hemlock]

Can we eat @fervent patrol?

[vital sentinel]

anyway

[fervent patrol]

Also, I feel like for the Shared Spaces, there needs to be some place where we can teleport there from Home instead of going there from the Treehouse

Or perhaps anywhere like how it is with Home?

[covert hemlock]

If you have been there and come home, use of return shrine, you land in front of the Treehouse. But you go into any other realm you have to start from social space. Has been the case everytime. Could we have shortcut into Sanctuary?

[vital sentinel]

'The spirits of this realm have long awaited your arrival... and your light'

okay thats sound threatening for some reason lol

[fervent patrol]

But at least being able to teleport to Shared Spaces directly from Home rather than having to go to Forest Portal and all that stuff

[naive solar]

your light, hand it over

[vital sentinel]

'we have waiting for so long for your arrival... oh and your light too'

[valid terrace]

✋ (🔹 🔹) 🤚

[winged jewel]

This may be a dumb question, but can you friend people who play live while ur on beta? That's just not how it works right?

[gilded parrot]

📱 iOS/Android: To join future beta invite waves, learn all about the beta version and the sign-up process in #beta-faq.
🍄 Switch: Sign-ups for beta are closed. You can read more about the Switch Beta here: http://bit.ly/SkySwitchBeta

[vital sentinel]

[valid terrace]

give light

[covert hemlock]

Doesn't make a lot of sense, think about other places, to reach it you have to go manually

[gilded talon]

It’s not very far tho. I don’t mind going through Forest at all.

[valid terrace]

imma glad that devs are focusing on new players right now honestly
but an Isle overhaul is bound to be a little shaky, it’ll get sorted though

[naive solar]

Beta and live are two separate versions of the same game. You cannot friend people on Live when you're playing on Beta and vice versa.

[covert hemlock]

Also, aren't you a butter that flies? Surely you can flap your wings and get there pretty fast

[winged jewel]

Okay that's what I thought, thank u

[fervent patrol]

Maybe that's just me. I just feel like itd be fitting to teleport to there from Home since Shared Spaces seems to be a second home for our skid now

[valid terrace]

I think my theory was confirmed that reliving spirits lets them travel between planes rather than just this one

[minor falcon]

I'm on a new moth account rn, here are the changes I've seen so far: when you're first born there's the same shooting star landing at home animation as when you get reborn, old mural cutscene is no more

[valid terrace]

The mural cutscene’s gone??
oh no

that one’s valuable though

[naive solar]

Yeah it's gone. I wonder what's gonna happen to that island

[valid terrace]

that one’s very valuable - maybe both could work
lorey introduction and then more lore

[fervent patrol]

Also, Ash said once it had its own secrets, so I see of it as a big deal for them to remove it. Though, Ash also said its the tip of the iceburg, sooo...

[minor falcon]

I bet the lights are still there on the islands, I'll check it today

[covert hemlock]

Well, the Treehouse is definitely "a home away from home"

[valid terrace]

imma write for feedback as taking away the cutscene feels wrong

well eventually
h I’m being active in Beta? what is this

[rain delta]

What island? O_O

[valid terrace]

get on your gat, Voluntary
time for adventure

[fervent patrol]

I liked the old cutscene, but I lile how the new stuff in Isle explains more

[covert hemlock]

Every beta tester has its own day

[naive solar]

The island at home that's far from the main place. It's the island that's shown to you during the cutscene, and has the murals on it.

[sudden flower]

tgc never directly to the submitter for feedback, right? im not sure where to put this in, in feedback or in customer service since it's kind of half question half feedback (actually, relevant to live too)

[fervent patrol]

They couldve just made a new kind of Intro cutscene that has both the new Isle stuff, but same style as old intro, but there's a chance that doing that is a bit complicated so idk

[vital sentinel]

wait the inteo island is gone now?

[valid terrace]

why was that censored? there was nothing wrong with that sentence that I know of
anyway

[spark lance]

I really liked the old cutscene when we first started the game during we fell from the sky but the new one really adds that cave and make u feel u start a journey

[pale junco]

They wanted new player to participate but all that's happening is isle dragging them to the temple

[rain delta]

Whatttt how do we get to it?? Wait how do you guys know this?

[minor falcon]

the islands are still there?

[covert hemlock]

That has changed. Check isle again to see if it still pulls player.

[valid terrace]

ah, so there’s a debate between this? oh boy
I really don’t know what to think now

I say both cutscene and cave

[naive solar]

The intro cutscene IS gone, but the island it takes place on ISN'T.

[fervent patrol]

They could also have done the new explaining in Isle Elder, tho I think its too late to change the Elder cutscenes a bit. Also, that's very old concept art-ish so meh

[spark lance]

Looking for new place in isle, somewhere like small island under the sand

[minor falcon]

I'm willing to bet the lights for the old intro murals are still there

[rain delta]

I like the murals more I’m kind of sad that it’s gone too... not that I could have rewatched it anyways but man that fire crackling In the background, the music in that scene - it’s all a 10/10 for cinematic prologue

[fervent patrol]

Yeah, but explained too little as well

[valid terrace]

the cutscene being overhauled is damaging, I absolutely adored it coming into the game

[torn gust]

Generally anything submitted to feedback will be read by devs but wont get a verbal response, you could try sending a dm to thathelpbot though if you need an answer to a question!

[covert hemlock]

you indirectly get a response in-game

[rain delta]

How do we even get to that island?

[tender oasis]

Ngl i was one of the not experienced in gaming clueless moths and i didn’t remember a single thing from the first cutscene until i saw it again when i became a beta. I think this change is nice and helpful to keep you interested in the story too, because you can rewatch. (But im so unlucky in general i got permanently stuck with the first wing that’s something which would definitely happen to my moth self too)

[fervent patrol]

I had my own theories about it, but with that theory, I realized that the Intro may have been a bit messy in terms of the lore and what happened

[valid terrace]

good point

it’s the way it’s presented for me - the sort of visual story style with lovely murals

[rain delta]

I do kind of wish it had the same cinematic appeal though.. but I’m guess that’s gone forever now

[valid terrace]

that’s my worry
I wish for it to be kept if possible for its appeal

[covert hemlock]

Okie imma have lunch now

[undone lodge]

Hello

[rain delta]

Maybe they could at least keep the music... during the reliving in isle

[torn gust]

It was possible way way back when in late summer 2019, you could use a table to get yourself past wind walls by continuously placing it down in midair while sitting on it. The islands are very windy though as a result of being past the wind walls so you couldnt actually get around and walk on them-you had to stay on your table.

[fervent patrol]

Maybe its just me. I like the new stuff in Isle since it gives us lore afficiandos more crumbs to work on

[tender oasis]

I hope cutscene island will forever stay tho as an oob treat for the crazy ones.

[spark lance]

How do I get to the cutscene island?

[torn gust]

Im not sure if the islands are possible to reach anymore-if they are id be curious to know 👀

I heard from a friend the table tornado doesnt work to get there since the ground doesn’t reach all the way out there

[proud coral]

I just played the new intro and I love it! I really think it’s perfect for a beginner player as Sky has quite a large learning curve. For sure, some things are obvious and others are not at all. I get so many questions daily about the most basic beginner things and this new intro seems to answer a lot of them while still maintaining that “indirect” way of storytelling!

[tender oasis]

At some level it always was with bicycle and slow mo but that well require precision ( which i dont have) and not really driveable around. But it’s kinda the same as eden whale. Constant challenge to figure a way to get there.

[torn gust]

I bet you actually have a really good sense of what new players get confused about and how theyd respond to the changes Nasty

[fervent patrol]

Yeah, I actually tried Sky a few times before I decided to actually stay

[torn gust]

I really wish it had been possible to visit them back during days of love-they got the pink grass too

Also if anyone does reach those islands someday, the murals are on the backside and only show up when youre physically close to them theyre shy

[fervent patrol]

Back then, I was so confused, tho, I left mostly due to device issues and stuff back then, but yeah, they were really confusing for me as a moth back then

[proud coral]

It was the same for me and that’s why I made guides when the game came out though early beta was a lot more confusing, I probably tried to play the game a good 3 times before I finally got it

[spark lance]

I remember i completed the eden with your guides coz i was lost and quit a few times

[torn gust]

I remember as a moth being so confused and mildly peeved that the candles i had lit earlier that day weren’t giving me more wax when i lit them again

[fervent patrol]

Ooh, same

[steady pond]

mothventures?

[pseudo prairie]

i was SO confused as a moth... it's a good thing veterans took pity on me and helped me out 😅

[torn gust]

Also when i first loaded up isle i immediately turned away from the big rock cave and started swimming into the ocean thinking thered be hidden secret goodies

(There were not)

[spark lance]

You actually managed to play Light Awaits before? I'm so sad I couldn't get the chance to play the Old Beta as an Android player

[proud coral]

I remember I kept going into the pit under the aviary the pit that brought you back to the starting shores

[torn gust]

Nastymold? More like 🔥 nastyOLD sky player🔥

[neat stream]

I just played the new intro and Isle of Dawn as new player — Start of Prairie and I love it
I love how the Pointing spirit is kinda a part of tutorial too, with which I mean after getting his hairstyle he POINTS AT A CLOSET AND THE GAME IS LIKE “GO CHANGE, KID”

Overall I found it very enjoyable and things are more clear now, also I felt like a very epic moff

[torn gust]

(Im kidding ur great nasty even if your skykid probably has joint pain)

[spark lance]

Does Nastymold have any videos of their gameplay of the Old Beta?

[proud coral]

I did not record back then

[neat stream]

Also when I first started playing Sky, Prairie’s entrance wasn’t sympathetic to me as it is now, I remember I tried to avoid going there but then gave up after a while

[pseudo prairie]

I've been trying to play beta to see all these changes in person, but it keeps crashing on me 😭 it's probably not a bug tho, just my phone nearing the end of its days

[proud coral]

I decided to before the game released because I couldn’t find any guides in the game

[torn gust]

Omg i avoided going into prairie tooooo i just wanted to hang in isle...only when i found out i couldnt fly backwards into the isle temple did i accept my fate

[spark lance]

Time flies by really fast, especially if you're a Beta player

[spice mason]

My beginner experience was literally me just. Pushing forward through the whole game. I caught on to some things quicker than others..

[valid terrace]

just consuming a well-made meal of spirit lore at last

[pseudo prairie]

nasty your guides are so useful!! I looked for guides after I failed terribly in Eden as a moth and was like... ok maybe I do need help to figure out what I need to do

[torn gust]

I didn’t want to leave isle until i found all the secret goodies (aka winged light) since i wasnt sure i could get back into isle

[spark lance]

I was able to finish Eden in Live during the last 2 weeks of the Season of Enchantment

[torn gust]

Me trying to keep track of timelines and whats not a spoiler for content is like

[hollow compass]

Tara does, though.

When I started, we still had the old Isle tutorial where a bird led you to Isle Elder and you got your wings from him.

[fervent patrol]

I kinda picked up stuff quicklu in my moth days... But I was confused about the game's goal, and I ended up dropping Sky since device issues... Lack of space and all the other devices didn't reach the minimal requirement for a smooth experience

[proud coral]

Yeah tara has lots of old beta content and she always describes what every area was for in great detail

We started at pretty much the same time I think!

[fervent patrol]

Realizing I probably would never be able to play that game again, I spoiled myself on the game's ending :')

[torn gust]

Shiracheshire also has albums of old beta sky/light awaits pinned in #lore-discussion-spoilers if you havent seen! Theyre really good chronicles of all the changes that happened

[fervent patrol]

But I ended up playing the game again, back in August last year

[spark lance]

It must have been nostalgic for old beta players like Nasty and Tara to be able to see Sky turn into what it is now

[pseudo prairie]

I'm so curious now... I'll need to look for those old beta videos! I found sky during sanctuary so there's so much I don't know (even if I've looked at videos of past seasons lol)

[hollow compass]

It is indeed. We’ve come a long way since those early days.

[proud coral]

Ok I go off and work on one final video before sleep rip to my body! Goodnight everyone

[fervent patrol]

Tara has some vids

[pale junco]

One thing that was a pain in my moff days was the flight controls it took me longgg before i learned to toggle the flight modes.

[steady pond]

im joking, but sometimes i envision them opening a super buggy beta build like the gif of that guy holding pizza walking into a burning apartment

[torn gust]

One thing i miss about being a global release player is the feeling of like...everyone around you was a new player too. Seeing your first 6 wedge cape was exciting because not many people had a cape that high level! Much less a colored cape

[pseudo prairie]

S N E E P

[spark lance]

Don't forget the new batch of beta testers who've come to report possible bugs and crashes that could happen both in the new Beta and in Live

[rain delta]

Oksy I took some time off and did some thinking, I like the new isle elder cutscene it’s gorgeous and I love the bigger emphasis on Eden here and the fact that the prologue is readily available anytime I want to see it
And I really like the entrance to daylight actually has a path, I was lost there before

[fervent patrol]

Wait, did the Isle Elder Cutscene really change? I thought it was just the constellations after the cutscene that changed-

[rain delta]

I will still miss the original prologue’s mystery though, the fire crackling was pretty gorgeous ;-; and shiver just went up my spine when I heard that the murals were on an island at home omggg that’s soo cool

[hollow compass]

Reaching 9 was momentous for me. I stayed that way a long time even after 10th and 11th were available.

[neat stream]

Yeah the actual Elder cutscene didn’t change, just the constellation cutscene. Now all constellations show up :3

[torn gust]

The fabled 9 wing! That was the top goal for so so long, definitely a proud milestone whenever anyone reached it

[rain delta]

The elder cutscene has a sequence added to show you Eden castle and once that sequence is gone, there’s a huge amount of focus and reordering of the camera angles to put that castle in the center background... I think the new cutscene makes the castle and not the elder the center of attention
I found myself staring at the castle the whole time

[hollow compass]

I am friends (well, “friends” as in they are in my constellation) with Tara. I wonder how many of my old beta friends are now here, but I just don’t know it.

[spark lance]

Should a progress reset happen in Beta in the future, I just want to say thanks to my Beta friends who supported me and made me the person I am now

[torn gust]

One thing i dont miss about early global release days (and early beta too i think?) is the old version of carryball it was so much slower, stickier, and harder to move than it is now. Dismiss spirit was a nightmare to my moth self

[fervent patrol]

Ok, I think this is first time where I REALLY want to join beta to see... But I don't think my schedule is open for a Second Sky

[pseudo prairie]

i wish there was a way to manually shuffle or look for friends in the constellation... I have so many friends I haven't seen in months!

[lunar zealot]

Looking back at how old sky was, to what we have now is nostalgic for anyone I reckon. It’s just fun to see. We went from aviary, to shared spaces in a treehouse

[desert tide]

I miss the aviary though

[spark lance]

TGC have plans to revive the "spirit" of the Old Beta. They started doing that with the Colliseum.

[torn gust]

Fun fact-there is a tiny piece of aviary thats in the game now, added during assembly season

[lunar zealot]

they never stated they had plans for that though, no?

[hollow compass]

There is...?

[lunar zealot]

Spill the beans

[minor falcon]

the aviary window in a treehouse is a nice touch! the model fits very nicely there

[pale junco]

Yes, the grass from Aviary

[desert tide]

Where

[torn gust]

And by tiny i do mean tiny-in the third treehouse before the temple, theres a windowframe set into the wood. Its an old aviary window!

[lunar zealot]

I’ll have to go look later 👁️

[pale junco]

:V i knew i saw it somewhere

[torn gust]

Now you can stand on it or touch it and say that youve been to aviary

[spark lance]

Seeing that they revived the spirit of the Old Beta colliseum, it's highly possible that they will revive the Old Beta spirit of Sky

[vapid drum]

I never even bothered to get the 11th wing , right now I’m reborn in beta with 8 wedges (75 wings ) that’s more then enough , pick some lights along the way and I’ve got 9 wedges.

[lunar zealot]

Pines I can’t say that 😔

[torn gust]

The coliseum was redone to accomodate for the dreams season cutscenes, and to get spruced up with a facelift so to speak

[torn gust]

Youve been to the real thing you dont count

[lunar zealot]

While coliseum has vibes of how it looked before global release. I wouldn’t say it revived anything. Aside from the team banners. The rest is completely new.

[lunar zealot]

Shut :v

[minor falcon]

the old coliseum with the wl on the stairs is still in the game as well! when you slide down from either of the races that's the model you see it's inaccessible though, warp zones all around

[torn gust]

oh really! Good eye-nice to know its still around in some form. Maybe it has spiritual skykids bonking off the pillars trying to light the candle cake haha

[lunar zealot]

The OOB hides a great many things

[rain delta]

It’s kind of sad that I vaguely remember what the old coliseum looked like ... doesn;t help that I always skipped valley haha

[torn gust]

It was Very Orange, had a central disc that came up out of the clouds with pillars surrounding it in the clouds, and then the seats. There was nothing on the stadium seats though besides cheer spirit off to the side and a WL. And a single blue butterfly!

[tender oasis]

It was an art form to light the cake on the pillar before the toggle got added to cloudy areas

[late mountain]

My trick is whenever something is changing an old zone to something new in beta I go to live and snap a bunch of photos and videos of the area for keepsake.

[lunar zealot]

I remember I always thought the old coliseum (pre global) was so annoying. Because it would tally up your lights collected. And it was essentially red vs blue. And it took so long each time.

[spark lance]

The old colliseum platform used to be floating in the clouds

[covert hemlock]

Hi harbin

[torn gust]

Old coliseum was also a pain to connect with friends with. If you joined a friend in the area youd likely server split pretty quick

[late mountain]

Hello

[lunar zealot]

Yeah! I’m so glad it’s fixed now. Much appreciated

[rain delta]

Oh yea this part i very accurately remember

[narrow narwhal]

I actually really miss the old coliseum, I loved the clouds area and the extra challenge at the end of who lands on the disc in the middle first

[spark lance]

The new colliseum still has that same team blue vs team red feeling

[lunar zealot]

It has the banners. That’s it. To me at least it’s not the same

[covert hemlock]

It is just aesthetic to me

[torn gust]

Shira has some pictures of the old old Old races where your skykid would actually be dyed red or blue

[late mountain]

I'm really excited to see what these new shared spaces will be. Between the mention of props and coming together with friends its combining two of my favourite things.

[lunar zealot]

And the banners look different from then, also. As much as I found the tallying annoying I do kinda miss the actual system. Made it more fun to race

[tender oasis]

Omg yes the contstant server splits and befor that the race not getting activated for some friends if you did it in a group.

[spark lance]

The game crashes though when I try to remove things from my space

[minor falcon]

another fun new thing! even if you haven't relived pointing candlemaker the new tutorial just gives them to you when you reach prairie

[covert hemlock]

Oh really? What are your two favourite things? Chimes in the tune of Favourite Things.... Oh wait he just said it. 😳

[lunar zealot]

I do wonder. Can we do race with hammock. SLIDING down with hammock all the way
One thing to add to my list of things to try. I’d need a friends help tho

[solid dune]

Is there still anyway to sit on a swing with the first sitting position?
I know you can still do the second sit pose+lay down, but is it still possible to do first sit with whatever your stance is?

[late mountain]

Wait, I didn't think it was implemented yet last I heard? Thought we were waiting for the next version.

[minor falcon]

it's there harbin

[spark lance]

When will the next update come? I can't wait for the game crashes to be fixed

[solid dune]

Okay then how do you do it without my feet dangling still

[late mountain]

Why have I not been made aware of this? Clearly I must spend more time absorbing beta knowledge.

[late mountain]

I have lots of favourite things but yes those are two of them!

[lunar zealot]

Shared spaces also makes you have really low FPS when you share your space

[late mountain]

Sorry no idea. Unless a Dev has told us when we can next expect an update there's no way to know. Hope the crashes get fixed! 🛠️

[lunar zealot]

It is painful. Even on 60 FPS option. Throws that right out the window

[late mountain]

Hmm, I'll be interested to see how my device goes then. It never had any problems with the hot springs so this will be sure to put it through its paces.

[spark lance]

cries in 30fps Sky even if device can handle 60fps on other games

[terse swift]

[late mountain]

Hi Velo!

[lunar zealot]

hi velo

[terse swift]

I heard there was a crusty fossil party going on here

[late mountain]

Not with me around but yes there was

[terse swift]

Yo y’all saved me any cakes tho?

Ur still invited hairpin 😌

[spark lance]

[late mountain]

There might be some in the shared spaces I'm still yet to explore

[late mountain]

Yay!

[terse swift]

[covert hemlock]

Uwu

[willow fog]

Wait I also wasn’t aware shared spaces is available already

[spark lance]

I'm just gonna...

[covert hemlock]

It is

[ember cedar]

still kinda bug cause my screen freezes

[willow fog]

Time to search for it I guess

[valid terrace]

I, as someone who started in Enchantment, feel like a very strange case where nobody can decide what to refer to me as

[covert hemlock]

you're already an adult

[valid terrace]

Enchantment moths considered old?

[solid dune]

Wait shared spaces are actually In game rn??

how can i build my shared space when it keep crashing b4 i save

[buoyant berry]

Question for shared space: are we allowed to put available items if we didn't bought them from the assembly guide? I've all of them, just curious

[minor falcon]

nope, you have to buy them to use them in your space

[tough swallow]

Voi is the beta shepherd, change my mind

[formal lintel]

guys its chibi fall or glitch will no longer available in beta?

[willow fog]

It’s currently just a bug they are trying to solve

[tough swallow]

You can do chibi fall but mostly of the time your game crash

[ember cedar]

you know i just realized

were getting seasons based on childhood

[lunar zealot]

No. Clearly not. Not me

[willow fog]

So I’m still trying to grasp this new concept, can you only enter your shared space in building mode?

[ebon saddle]

It’s really a childhood season lol the shared space reminds me those interior decorating games which i played on the website

[minor falcon]

you can also share your space with others in your server if you return to the statue after building!

[willow fog]

Ohhh!! I think my server was already full with other furniture lmao so I didn’t even think about that. Going right back then

[slate sable]

Does it resets every time you login?

[minor falcon]

if you save your space then no, you'll have yo share it again though

[slate sable]

Ohhh nice nice

[distant imp]

Hello 👋 can someone explain to me what a shared space is ?

[sleek pelican]

Checkout in main treehouse

[scarlet moon]

I haven't been on the beta in almost two days (been a bit busy), but do you mean that they implemented the shared space feature? I don't see a beta update so I'm confused.

[scarlet rivet]

Good afternoon, can anyone tell me how to get the Season Pass for the new season? A few hours ago he was in the store, but was banned, and now he is not in the store either. But I have two gift passes from last season, for some reason in the form of a fox, can I exchange them with friends?

[neat stream]

I’ve recorded the whole Isle and some of Prairie as new player, for anyone who wants to see: #beta-screenshots-videos message

#beta-screenshots-videos message

#beta-screenshots-videos message

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[sleek pelican]

Yea it appeared without any new patch

[neat stream]

As far as I know, the passes are bugged and trying to buy them results in a crash.
Friends who you gift passes to can’t accept the pass either

[scarlet rivet]

Thank you

[neat stream]

You’re welcome

[spice mason]

I was hoping to see what the pendant accessory looked like ... Quelle horreur....

[valid terrace]

why are shared spaces reminding me of Mario Maker

[quick harbor]

Wait, yall talking about Shared Spaces while I'm still trying to understand what that is

Can someone explain pls

[spark lance]

Hey I heard someone talking in wishlist and ideas, that you'll no longer be able to go OOB anymore (no matter if you use Chibi Glitch, Rocket/Spiral or walk through unstable walls). Is this true?

Or is it just a bug?

[tender oasis]

Game crashes if you try which is not intentional for sure. Piggy spiral is safe for the upper person lower one crashes tho.

[spark lance]

Oh okay, thank you Pakka!

[pale junco]

Go to the main tree house and meditate near the fallen tree

[dense whale]

/hey any pic for shared space?

[quick harbor]

Alright, will do so!

[pale junco]

Many in #beta-screenshots-videos

[cosmic orchid]

does the AP preorder still crash us?

yep, still does

[spark lance]

I don't even have the option to pre-order, my shop is empty. Am I doing something wrong

[quick harbor]

BHAAAAAAAA

I went to the Shared Spaces, built a bit, laid down on the hammock and pressed the X on it and crashed lol

I also don't have the option to buy the AP either

[spark lance]

They also happen for me as well. I guess we'll just have to wait for a new update to fix the crashes from Shared spaces and AP pre-order

[vital sentinel]

looking the fact that they decided to polish isle like that (to be more 'interactive' with the players), does that mean we could wait for the same kind of polish for other realms as well?

[spark lance]

Can't wait to finally see how the next Season gotta be
And if the bugs get all fixed next patch updates. Sky Beta is so buggy now in this version, sometimes my game just randomly crashes

shared space... so we can build the given space like how we decide it?

cue minecraft bgm

[spark lance]

It is very buggy tho, so beware

[vital sentinel]

i havent even visited forest temple yet

[spark lance]

With the changes in isle, i’m just sad that one of the most soundtracks, “painting” just poofed in the game, the good news is we have a soundtrack album

Isle got changed?

The duck

[vital sentinel]

wait isnt painting still can be heard in the new cutscene?

[spark lance]

Sure, censor me Autocorrect -_-

[bright portal]

Just tested the new poco f3 on beta and its very nice

[spark lance]

We might also see soundtrack from the Old Beta when the Vol.2 & Vol.3 of the Sky Albums are out and ready

[spark lance]

I’m looking forward to hearing them! Especially the propechy caves

[spark lance]

Plus the other seasonal soundtrack that weren't included in the Vol.1 of the Sky Soundtrack

[prisma mesa]

Designing shared place for like 30 min and the game crash without saving

[hallow igloo]

Luckily mine saved without crashing. I think it's a bit restricting of a space to design personally, and I could bet someone can really flex by putting down the bonfire in a shared space

[wooden raptor]

My social space is only a way for me to enter my mind. If I share, it crashes me too. I guess that’s because my decoration taste vary from others jk

I agree that the area is quite small. If you accidentally go inside treehouse or slip off from the edge, you go poof

[hallow igloo]

I was kind of expecting something like a separate room and / or outdoor area rather than a little price of the treehouse

[fleet obsidian]

Will Shard Spaces be available on other maps?

[bright portal]

We can always leave a suggestion on that at #beta-feedback

[tender oasis]

I honestly really like the idea of a private corner when you want that and it can became a social thing when you are in a mood for that too. Hope it will get added to other areas too

[bright portal]

I can finally retire my poco f1 to poco f2 pro while dad grabs the poco f3

[hallow igloo]

Nice! Hopefully you'll get a better performance increase in Sky!

[quick harbor]

Bhaa.....tgc what the hell, making me cry like that with the new Isle changes

Idk if the video in the ss of beta was recorded on android or ios, hopefully the quality stays almost the same

[hallow igloo]

You can tell they're really trying to polish this for the switch release. Especially the intro to get new players into it

[quick harbor]

Lots of my friends said the game was confusing, so I'm really happy with these changes, it slaps you more in the face regarding what you really need to do

[minor falcon]

shared space editing suite is nice for practicing instruments, absolutely nobody can disturb you

[hallow igloo]

I mean, light awaits had an NPC that really let you know how to play, so this is nice, but should come with a cutscene skip or a one time tutorial

[quick harbor]

I think One time tutorial is a bit sad, maybe some of the new players might want to expirience that tutorial once again once they're butterflies

As someone who joined in September, played the game till eden and then got hard locked (game crashing assoon as it opened but) out of the game until begin of Prophecy, I would've liked a replay tutorial button

[hallow igloo]

Then maybe an optional button at the start of isle to begin the tutorial

[minor falcon]

most of the new player experience stuff that was added is shown only once for a new player who joins, I'm glad the more lore heavy cutscene stuff is now accessible for everyone in game

[split mirage]

Are we able to enjoy the privacy of our own space. I could not get out of decorate mode while in the space. I don't know if it's intentional. Or are we only able to decorate and then share?

[finite meteor]

wait is shared spaces available

[quick harbor]

Yep, go to the treehouse and look at the right side, there's a small staircase with a meditation stone on top (main treehouse)

[minor falcon]

in shared space editing mode if you go outside the glittery border you can access emote and settings menu and you can use your carried prop (like an instrument) - don't go too far though as I'll remove you from editing mode

[tender oasis]

So the decorating mode is private if you click on the little icon over the shrine you can share it and make it public if nobody else has an active sharing at the same time.

And also what Voi said.

[split mirage]

Thanks both of you. I did play piano just outside border. I would love to see a "close decorate mode" button so i can play in private in my space.

[willow fog]

I am also missing such a feature tbh

[spark lance]

i just logged into beta and im crying they have a pride beanie 😭

this is life this is greatness

[split mirage]

It's still in development so might come. I just wondered if it was present and working for some. Definitely putting it in feedback.

[finite meteor]

just remembered i didnt finish all the assembly quests can beta magically turn into live rn

[willow fog]

Good idea, I’ll also give feedback on it!

[lunar jacinth]

Eden rocks made more frequent?

[tender oasis]

I didn’t notice it felt the same for me today.

[bright portal]

Shared space is in active development and the devs are looking forward to our feedback, so if u have any ideas and thoughts on how to improve it after trying it out don't forget to leave it at #beta-feedback

[lunar jacinth]

Also, the color grading of eden is more dark now ?

[tender oasis]

Maybe? You can always compare it to live later. What I noticed:

• you turn into a statue now when u die
• if you were in there before and saved statues, those stay on the field with a yellowish glow instead of dissapearing like they used to.

[lunar jacinth]

Okkk :)

[spark lance]

I went to set up my tree house in the shared space, my game crashed and closed ༎ ຶ ‿ ༎ ຶ

[fleet falcon]

Ia the shared spaces working??? V

[pale junco]

Yes, go to the main tree house and meditate at the shrine near the fallen tree

[spark lance]

Yes 😊

How long will the rainbow spirit stay in beta?

[wooden raptor]

If I remember correctly a day left for the event in beta unless it gets extended

[spark lance]

Oh so tragic then I dont have the time to get 20 hearts 😭

[orchid yacht]

I dislike how the shared spaces still have camera auto-adjustment

[gilded talon]

Yes, I’m so glad that they are thinking about making these things relivable for all players. Cuz it’s really fun to go back to review some of the stories/lore. During my moth time it was so confusing and such a blur for me I had no memory of what the tutorial looked like.

[tender oasis]

Same i was way to focused on finding anything hidden in the level or just orientate myself i had zero memory about the cutscene and what did it say or what was the story. I was a moth with tunnel vision.

[gilded talon]

There was a lot to take in. But story-wise there is so much to discover and interpret that it would be a pity if some of them are only one-time experience for moth account and non-relivable

[hollow compass]

Sometimes I wish I had that perspective of the game.

[wooden raptor]

I was more focused on the realm too. I didn’t directly go to the point I was shown to. I wandered around in isle and prairie for the whole day so it's nice to be able to watch them when you want to

[gilded talon]

I was never much into lore, but there sure is a lot interesting things going on in that. Even after a year of playing I still find about things I don’t know (lore-wise), which is really exciting and refreshing!

[hollow compass]

Having been part of beta from very early on, it has always been a work in progress that never seemed finish. So there wasn't really any opportunity to be confused, in a way. Or rather, one was perpetually confused. I do feel that parts of the underlying themes were lost when the first Isle tutorial was replaced, though.

[wooden raptor]

I also would like to salute the old radar call which showed players around you. And instead of going to Temple I went to stars I saw when I honked. It was a pretty good one to spend time on tbh

[orchid yacht]

if you play through all of isle you see that nothing is lost; some things are just moved around

[hollow compass]

Beth, I agree so much. It just really killed part of the whole concept of Sky for me.

[tawdry pine]

I still remember my first words when reaching isle for the first time

"this is a big desert"

[gilded talon]

Ye I really miss that too. I followed people a little bit and explore different unknown places thanks to that and that’s how I discovered Ark, when I had absolutely no idea what a season is. it was really beautiful experience for moth me.

[orchid yacht]

I still remember the exact date I started playing

November 21, 2020

[fleet falcon]

the shared spaces are so awesoooooooooome

[tropic radish]

I don't remember what I did during my moth days, but there's thousands of in game screenshots of a moth in my laptop. I was probably too busy taking pictures to actually focus on the game's story www

[static saffron]

Shared spaces in beta yet?

Oh

[willow fog]

Was there a reason given for why radar honk was removed? If so I probably forgot about it, but I totally agree with you all and miss it a lot

[hollow compass]

Nowadays, I sometimes hang around in places I know where people tend to need help, but it's just not the same.

[orchid yacht]

I have various images of my progression through the game in the screenshots. Brown cape moth, yellow cape moth, yellow cape with Welcome's pants, etc.

[gilded talon]

Especially when you are moth you are just so lost, so having the radar call make you feel less so, and give you some kind of random anchor without the need to keep attached to it. Gives you the freedom to explore too, so perfect I’m just sad that it’s gone now.

[minor falcon]

I didn't take any screenshots before completing my first eden run after weeks of playing in live, I just ran around the realms in awe in beta I documented my moth days a lot better

[fervent patrol]

Hmm... It seems Sky is getting a bit revamped with these new updates... Its pretty cool

Hmm, I wonder if the other Elder cutscenes now show the other constellations afterwards like Isle. Has anyone checked?

[hollow compass]

I think I lost a lot of early beta photos when changing phone at some point.

[orchid yacht]

brb gonna go make a new moth

[tender oasis]

Ahh the radar honk. Thats one feature i will forever miss. it was way more clear who needed help and who was just honking for friends and it was nice to know you arent alone in the level.

[static saffron]

I'm a bit confused, what else was added/removed?

[wooden raptor]

I didn't know how to take screenshots because I declined the access prompt to save stuff on my phone but I found what it was for after playing for some time

[tropic radish]

To have radar honk return... I can always dream

[static saffron]

Radar honk?

[fervent patrol]

The radar honk allowed you to see other players

[bright portal]

when u used to honk u can see everyone in the server, this was removed way back during enchantment-sanctuary era

[static saffron]

Ah

[finite meteor]

we used to be able to honk to see where people were, even if they were strangers,, it was removed but now its so much easier to troll with it gone

[gilded talon]

You used to be able to see all players present in your instance when you honk. And you could follow them too with the arrow.

[static saffron]

AH that, following strangers seemed weird

[hollow compass]

They could have just removed the follow feature, instead of the whole radar one.

[minor falcon]

in this build others honking in the distance looks weird, there's no diamond symbol but only the small honk circle

[fervent patrol]

Yikes.

[gilded talon]

It helpful when you are moth who don’t have enough flaps and trying to fly on a chat table placed in air tho

[tropic radish]

/I agree with the follow feature being removed, and I'm pretty glad about it too
I would get anxious if I go cr alone with valley hair

[tender oasis]

It wasn’t back then, guess because we were used to it? It was a great way to save energy and honestly i never had any insulting or weird experience with it. Collaboration to get things done or reach places tho i had way more of that with the follow.

[willow fog]

So it was removed because people didn’t like the follow feature? Huh, I was never bothered by that

[wooden raptor]

Thanks to radar honk I had an idea where to explore to find spirits and candles. And that way people found me and helped too. I will forever miss it. If it wasn't for the help I got from radar honk, id probably quit the game on first day. That was the thing that got me going and keep me interested

[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

[static saffron]

Can't really say much since I only started playing in december

[hollow compass]

It was removed because of trolling or griefing, just like table stuff etc.

[gilded talon]

Some are bothered with people following them in Valley races I think.

[minor falcon]

being able to see and follow other childs of light made it feel like we're all connected somehow even without being friends

[willow fog]

Ahh I see, thanks you two
And I agree with Voi

[bright portal]

sometimes theres a lot of back feedback and data and players we dont know, so maybe after long consideration they decide to remove it

[tender oasis]

Now you can see all your friends in your server without asking

[wooden raptor]

You get a merge with a friend who you haven't spoken to in ages and it makes things awkward

[tropic radish]

I have a 50:50 opinion with the follow thing, since i had gotten stalked one or two times by strangers constantly spamming the follow button. Trolling, griefing and so on

But I do miss radar honk cause I keep catching myself glitching into certain areas, only to glitch out and see other players waiting while I hit towards the next level transition. Lots of inbetween helping potential missed

[gilded talon]

Also I remembered it’s really nice to be able to follow when we struggled to get to the underground mushrooms during enchantment. I know it’s not a intended feature, but it took so much effort and collaboration that it really brought people together and make us help each other out. Moth me made quite a few friends through that. Some of us stayed and chatted a bit after collecting the mushrooms and then we befriended one another. It felt so nice and heartwarming and some people with tables would also deliberately stay after they got the mushrooms just to help others out.

[wooden raptor]

If I'm really annoyed by people I block them. So making it possible to block grey people would solve the problem in my opinion. Deleting radar wasnt the best option

[hollow compass]

And my game froze.

[blazing sail]

Why did they make it so hard to light friends’ stars? The button is tiny now.

[tropic radish]

Imagine, if you block a grey player, you would become invisible from the blocked player

[pale junco]

What's the new chaos about

[wooden raptor]

Free invisible spell

[tender oasis]

Most likely there were. We just experienced the positive side of it and the help it provided made our moth days easier. Also the feature as others said made a lot of us feel closer to each other even if we werent friends. Which of course doesn’t make any negative experience nonexistent, its just our perspective.

[static saffron]

Am I the only one who thinks that sky is changing way too fast

[willow fog]

I actually think I would like that

[pale junco]

What spells

[wooden raptor]

It was a reply to Sal's message

[gilded talon]

It could possibly be less harsh for both parties now I think about it. Cuz the conscious knowing that someone has blocked you is the most harsh thing I’ve experienced in Sky so far. So it’s better for me (if someone’s gonna block me) to be blocked and not know at all.

[willow fog]

That’s what I was thinking too. I’d rather not see the person anymore immediately and have it out of my mind right away.

[hollow compass]

Urgh, was trying out the shared space thing, which in itself isn't working very well, when the app crashed. I think I don't have the patience for this today.

[willow fog]

Omg, seems like I’m the only one who hasn’t crashed at shared spaces yet

[tender oasis]

It hurt many ppl knowing someone who blocked them is there, plus if you are a little more observant its easy to tell if its a grey or someone who blocked you, last time I checked if you had warp you could temporarily warp to them too in the same server.

[gilded talon]

The game is constantly crashing anyways me and voi took turns crashing in Forest for several minutes non stop yesterday that we eventually gave up doing cr in Forest 🤣

[tender oasis]

Tapping on the X crashes us too now not just switch (on the furnitures)

[hollow compass]

Is it the slow step that is causing it all?

[gilded talon]

I crashed at least 8 times in shared space today (2 of them out of the attempt to chibi fall tho)

[wooden raptor]

I was able to not crash when I removed a table but I crashed when I tried to share my space

[vestal totem]

YES I REMEMBER LOL ppl tryna cut ahead in the valley race by following me

[minor falcon]

removing placed props has been a bit unstable so far, my efforts to break out of the editing space for good continue

[tender oasis]

I think its not just slow step but moving through objects? Whenever voi or emma landed with open wing mode in vault yesterday most of us crashed, chibi step crash, piggy spiral crashes the bottom person, plus the random crashes, ap crash, removing furniture with X button crash

[minor falcon]

follow boosting off of strangers must've been the meta back then

[gilded talon]

Also I think when we applied a new spell or when a spell ended it crashed some of us too.

[tawdry pine]

"you cannot contain me forever" - Voi

[wooden raptor]

• Hitting certain walls crash

[pale junco]

I'm going to build a shared space that is soo cozy

[tender oasis]

You have one chance (until they fix the removal crash)

[hollow compass]

Good luck, soldier.

[wooden raptor]

Try not to fly away or fall somewhere

[pale junco]

It didn't crash for me so i'll try

[static saffron]

I crashed twice already-

[minor falcon]

I think the crash landing crash and other crashes with quick movements are rooted in how the game updates your position when you're being dragged so it places you momentarily inside some mesh or surface which is a killer in this build

[tender oasis]

Hmm maybe 👀 it’s definitely more frequent in areas with walls and where you slide a lot.

[gilded talon]

Forest is THE killer realm

[pale junco]

It crashed i cannot edit the mess that i made first

[leaden adder]

Guys.. I invite you guys to my shared space..

[wooden raptor]

Also the piggy release is just quite weird now. If you release the piggy, your camera and whereabouts are changed into the bottom players view. I think that messes the communication and causes spiral crash when you grab hands

[orchid yacht]

shows mound

[static saffron]

Forest: Okay we got a new feature come test it out
Also forest: crash

[dreamy bear]

Is it still crashing? For pre order i mean

Okay thank you

[static saffron]

We can't preorder now lmao

[pale junco]

Since shared space is in my mind i'm not surprised it's crashing

[minor falcon]

rocket stop has a weird moment as well, could be tied to the position update thing

[fervent patrol]

Oh yeah, I mentioned earlier if anyone checked the other Elder cutscenes for changes. There was a subtle change in Isle's. The stone shrine of Isle originally had glowing blue eyes which turn yellow after the cutscene. Now, there's no light at all, and looks as if the shrine statue of Isle Elder has close eyes, and is opened after the cutscene

[tender oasis]

At least you can jump through walls now easily

[orchid yacht]

tell us

[wooden raptor]

That’s how I enter 4 player door in vault first floor now

[tender oasis]

I mean, you just jump off the piggy and you are at the other side of the wall

[minor falcon]

it doesn't push you back anymore? sweet

[wooden raptor]

The jump is too big. If you try you’ll see what I mean

[tender oasis]

Wish i was this good in long jumping back in high school. There is a lot to learn from my skykid

[wooden raptor]

My sky kid is very good with kicks as well

[lapis latch]

I have a question 😔
When my friend carries me, I cannot go down. I tried all directions. The cancellation mark does not come on my head .. Not only in the beta version, also in the other version .. Is this a problem for me only?

[tender oasis]

Happens sometimes with me too. Best to file a bug report in #beta-bugs-android or #report-a-live-bug

[wooden raptor]

Sometimes the icon doesn’t show up. That’s probably a bug but you can use “sit” emote from menu to detach from your friend

[lapis latch]

Ok thank u ♥️

[noble citrus]

is there any info of when the days of rainbow come to live?

[faint comet]

Sometime June 2021 (TBA), best to keep an eye out here #news

[fervent patrol]

It just hit me... In regards to the new death sequence in Eden where you now turn into a statue.

When you turn into a statue, at first glance, it implies that all the other kids we save are our friends who died like we did, saving others and thus, a cycle.

But what if that's not the case? When you go back to Eden now, the statues you already saved has a golden glow through their backs, ready to break out, while the ones you didn't have a blue glow.

Guess what? When we die, our statues DON'T get the blue glow at all. It's gold, meaning that we could break out at any time and we don't need saving like the rest did.

Our skids are strong-

[empty rock]

i just noticed this but why is the thatgamecompany intro (when you open the game) different on android

[fervent patrol]

Is it? I play on android and occasionally on iPhone, I don't notice a difference... But thats on Live

[pale junco]

What

[fervent patrol]

Well, for my android phone, its slightly slow tho

I think that's just the loading sequence for my device

[static saffron]

It cuts off for me, I'm on android

[fervent patrol]

Maybe depends on the device? I dont recall that happening to me.

But then again, I dont really pay much attention to the TGC intro sequence of the game

[spark lance]

in live i just spam honk, move controls then icon apoears

[vital sentinel]

Hmmmmm

Nice eyes you got there, btw. Perhaps golden glow means that the spirit inside the statue already free? But then does that mean that our wl replace the spirit so it can to back to the orbit, while the wl stay in their stone bodies to prevent it got shattered?

Statues that we havent saved have blue glows, because the spirits is still trapped inside the statue. Perhaps they could actually just go to the orbit, leaving their stone body. But they didnt want to?

We have those two statues that didnt have any glows in them, that will immediately shattered when we got near them. Perhaps the spirits didnt want to leave their stone body because they didnt want their body to get shattered...?

[languid gale]

I thought this was lore chat for a second—
(Can't wait to discuss all this in live !)

[fervent patrol]

Though, I often see blue as something correlated to loss. They glow blue cause well, they're lacking light in some way

[vital sentinel]

I mean it could be that our wl give them the capes, but if those statues were also a fellow skykids...

[fervent patrol]

The WL seems to belong to the Fallen, suggested by the Point of No Return's description, tho that could change with the new lore presented in Isle...

Are we just special?
Maybe it's because we're the Prince-?

[austere merlin]

Inb4 winged light is our past lives

[fervent patrol]

Also we do seem to get out on our own when we die even without the statue death sequence

In Live I mean

[vital sentinel]

New update showing us that those statues that already saved didnt get destroyed, instead they stay intact with golden glow, right?

Yeah maybe our wl give the spirit the capes and also keeping their stone body stay in shape

[vital sentinel]

Ah yes, this one line confuse me a lot

[fervent patrol]

Hmm, I wonder if they're gonna revamp anything in Eden like they did in Isle.

Lots of moths get confused there too afterall. And its the center of lore and also kinda the end point of our journey

Like have that mysterious being who talked to us in Isle also talk to us in Eden again and sort of hint what we do next

Tho, Eden may be a little disconnected from the Light, soo...

[vital sentinel]

Indeee

But eden is the only place that have the light beam...

So in some way eden is still connected to the light

[fervent patrol]

Yep, that is true too

Eden: has a giant diamond lazer shooting at the sun

[wary star]

if you do an oob, you can see a giant yellow light stick going through the lounds into eden

[elfin raft]

It would be nice if the questgiver would join us in the shared space. Even if there would be no one,questgiver can be there with you

[hallow igloo]

I feel like it kinda covers the idea nowadays about saving or reaching the light. With he intro being the birth (or rebirth) of a moth, and now the update having the Skykid becoming a statue, after the first rebirth, there just isnt really... A point? Lore and stroy wise. You're just sacrificing yourself into a statue so you could come back and free other statues, so it's just kind of a loop that thematically doesn't contribute to you saving any more spirits or honoring the spirits as their descendants when you're just looking the same ending that they suffered

[wary star]

no but you lived so thats different

[hallow igloo]

Well we live just to do it all again

[wary star]

Money

[vital sentinel]

We live to rob the ts and getting money

Its a life of rob or be robbed

[wary star]

sus

[vital sentinel]

[hallow igloo]

I mean the elders basically tell us that we have to perish to learn their hairstyles.

Ya live and die all for that bling

[wary star]

wait yo they aren't wigs? i thought they just put on wigs that magically stick to them unless in the outfit booth

[hallow igloo]

Lol could you imagine a growing collection of wigs on a shelf that the Skykid is just browsing and considering for hours. And we have to pay to walk outta there without one

[quick harbor]

As a moff who was crying herself in Eden, and clueless as to what I was supposed to do, PLEASE, we kindly need this <3

[wary star]

i just got mad that i died and died anyways

[wooden raptor]

I went to Eden with zero spoiler. I saw icons to give light and I thought i was supposed to give lights to all statues before I die out. And I thought I failed the mission. I could have used some spoilers back then to not feel sorry afterwards

[wary star]

maybe some text while going through the corridor

[fervent patrol]

Meanwhile, there's me who really wished I did not see spoilers before going to Eden. I never got the true moff experience, sadly

[wary star]

||don't worry, i accidentally saw a datamine for this season so i feel you||

[fervent patrol]

But I still felt this strong sense of desperation as I try to get to all of the statues

[static saffron]

I somehow did

[wary star]

next season***

forgot to fix that

[quick harbor]

I remember not knowing what to do so bad, so after I came back to sky near Prophecy (was hard locked cus of bug), I hid behind a wall and searched up a tutorial lol I only watched until the hug the kiddo thing, then everything was moff expirience

[wooden raptor]

Though I should say this misunderstanding motivated me to go to Eden more to get more statues each time

[quick harbor]

At least I knew I was supposed to give "light" to the statues, and then I was crying because my levels were going down BAHAHAHA

[wooden raptor]

I really like beta Eden experience. You never know what might happen and it always finds a way to surprise you with more fun

[dusty crystal]

death loop joined the chat

[opaque swan]

did you guys notice that Isle has a new intro completely to new moths?

[willow fog]

If you're talking about hacked Sky content, please don't discuss it here and just report the video to TGC

[dry heron]

[somber trellis]

I can Not find the clothes from Little Prince

[fervent patrol]

Forgot to mention, if people really want some changes in Eden like how there was for Isle that explains things, its best to voice your opinions at #beta-feedback! (And #wishlist-and-ideas-archived too)

[spark lance]

Noooo

[willow fog]

The are not in the game yet

[gilded parrot]

bruh... talking about hacks and hackers is against the rules @somber trellis

[willow fog]

The person you just mentioned is a hacker and should not be talked about here

[somber trellis]

Really 👀

[willow fog]

Yes

[somber trellis]

I didn't know that!

But thanks for this answer

[willow fog]

No worries.

[lyric kite]

The season has not begun beta testing yet, the only new stuff is the shared spaces in the tree house and the Isle changes and other bug fixes and stuff. The only thing related to the upcoming season that can be seen legitimately in the game is the season symbol on the gift pass and the adventure pass in the shop (that causes game to crash when clicking)

[somber trellis]

Yes, I see

[chrome ivy]

All other is data mined

[stoic holly]

have they changed the first cutscene in isle?

[empty escarp]

I Noticed they took down the pass from iap.
I hope it's gonna be back soon

(I know it will definitely come back, but i want it asap lmao)

[austere merlin]

Remember beta is for testing not early access

[tough swallow]

He/she/they never says it's to get it in early access

[spice mason]

I mean
People have every right to be excited for the new season content in beta. It's always fun to see.

People ALWAYS gush about the cosmetics . Even in the beta stages..

[tough swallow]

We can't help for pic requests in beta and please don't ask again in the future ( Alex's message about it : #beta-screenshots-videos message )

[spark lance]

Oh sorry

[lyric kite]

You can search on your own in #beta-screenshots-videos if you like though, I think some people probably posted it

[pale junco]

Shared space would be chaos in live version. Imagine 8 people trying to share their space

[valid terrace]

looking forward to it as a meme maker

endless possibilities for filming

[lyric kite]

I'm not really sure how the shared spaces thing is supposed to work, I made one but then it said can't share yet, and when I exited back nothing that I put was there

So IDK if it's a bug or if I did it wrong lol

[valid terrace]

you can make pretty much any set you want but I haven’t completed the quests so dunno

[onyx bobcat]

Hello…-

I heard that the chibi fall is getting removed soon? Is that true?

[wooden raptor]

Shared space is not working well with most players yet. Probably we get more things working with next update

[onyx bobcat]

I hope not

[lyric kite]

Chibi fall not working is probably a bug that the devs are looking into. Going out of bounds by any means seems to be causing a lot of people to crash right now

[valid terrace]

as said, they understand and appreciate lots of people enjoy those bugs just to say

[wooden raptor]

Also good to check this message: #beta-discussion message

[tough swallow]

This message should be pinned

[onyx bobcat]

Sorry

[somber trellis]

Why have I been buying the current pass since I update it?

Is it a bug?

[hollow vale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/618891214527266846/844244261288280114/Screenshot_20210518-110518_Sky-2.jpg

13/16 available, so 3 props are missing. I guess they are normal table, bonfire and what else? 😳

[faint comet]

Feast Table?

[hollow vale]

Feast Table?
@faint comet there is already

[faint comet]

I thought the last one is a regular table

[hollow vale]

Yeh I did mention "normal table" 🥺

[lyric kite]

I can't think of anything else that would be missing besides the regular table and the bonfire. Maybe 16 items is just the overall limit they set, since there will probably be more prop items in the future

[cosmic axle]

Perhaps it's for the new season 🤔 I can't think of anything off the top of my head either

[timid bough]

isn't the 16 just max amount of props

[carmine thorn]

There's always one missing just to mess with those completionists.

[faint comet]

Oooh, I know now, maybe ||Rainbow bonfire||

[rain delta]

I think there should be a timelimit for the shares, so that a new person can share their own space

[cosmic axle]

I do think 16 is a nice number for the amount of props most people have tho.
I've also yet to complete my area because beta crashes, but it's all good :stickerOK:

[pale junco]

There is one, there's a candle at the shrine just like there are at chat benches

[rain delta]

Ohhhh!!

[sick pendant]

time for criticism

||assembly function-less props are still redundant ||

[rain delta]

So far for me, the new cave cut scenes haven’t worked out well anytime there was another player merging into my server and they lit the cut scenes ahead of me... My cut scenes end up getting skipped sighhh

[lucid ginkgo]

so the props you can use in shared spaces are the props you own?

[orchid yacht]

pinwheel?

[tawdry pine]

"what is your purpose"
"decorative"
"and???"
"and I can be placed in the shared spaces"

[orchid yacht]

only you can't own it

[lyric kite]

No I don't think it's pinwheel, unless they make that into a permanent item that you can carry. I have pinwheel spells and it didn't show as an option to be placed

[tawdry pine]

maybe new season is planned to have another prop perhaps?

[orchid yacht]

i would guess 16 is just an arbitrary limit

[lyric kite]

I think 16 is probably just the arbitrary limit they decided on for now, since it would be too much to allow unlimited amount of items there. Eventually we will have more than 16 props as they keep adding new seasons and new special limited events

Think of it like how the requirement for the 12th cape star is 200 winged lights even though that's not possible right now. 16 could be the max even if there aren't 16 prop items yet, because eventually there will be

[tawdry pine]

ooo I see I see

[rain delta]

Okay so I finally figured out the bug for the crash that I’ve been seeing, someone confirm for me
Place your items in your shared space in some order (item a, b, c) and try to remove them in the order b, a ,c your space will crash
Now try to remove them in order c,b, a and it won’t

[orchid yacht]

sounds like they're using a stack

[silver willow]

Uh anyone else’s game froze when someone opens the two player door in vault?

[sick pendant]

devs:
players:

[lilac solstice]

So your telling me...

I have to remember what order i placed them in to not cause crashing

[lyric kite]

Well, it's probably a bug but knowing what's causing the crash can help TGC figure out how to fix it

[sick pendant]

[tawdry pine]

A bug report with more specific steps to replicate the crash will be more helpful than the "this crashes when prop b is removed" since the former narrows down what's going on

[spare urchin]

what are the changes to isle?

[orchid yacht]

look in #beta-screenshots-videos

[tawdry pine]

The shared spaces are in assembly main treehouse, there's screenshots shared in the beta chat too!

[spare urchin]

oooh thank you!

how do they work?

[lyric kite]

The Isle changes are mainly that they updated the cave area when you first enter and changed some of the cutscenes, to help encourage new players to keep going forward instead of people just quitting because they don't understand what to do

[tawdry pine]

For now you get a small spot to place any props you own (tables, assembly props) and share them with others for a limited time

[wooden raptor]

I was able to remove them without order and I didn’t crash and other times I crashed randomly. I don’t see a pattern in my experience

[spice mason]

Whelp. Time to ATTEMPT to test shared spaces.. hoping the beta gods don't crash me.

[tawdry pine]

Good luck

[lilac solstice]

There's changes to the opening cutscene and a few changes in the terrain

[spice mason]

Spoiler alert. I crashed

[zinc mica]

Same

[rain delta]

Interesting 🤔 I placed down a bookshelf, a fire pot, and a pillow
And tried to remove the bookshelf first — crash...
the firepot first —- crash
The pillow first — no crash

[silver willow]

Yo anybody willing to test something? I keep crashing when trying to chibi fall for the two player door in vault. Kind of want to know if anybody else is experiencing it too?

[tender oasis]

Literally everyone. Chibi fall is cursed in this build.

[silver willow]

Ahh okay thanks!

[lilac solstice]

Most oobing and clipping walls is causing crashes right now

[wooden raptor]

Yeah just before typing that message I was able to remove 12 props without any order. But then again I crash even when placing one or removing the next try. I crash when I try to share sometimes too. It’s weird with me so far

[cedar holly]

The only oob that I’ve found that works still works is flying through the clouds to get underground in the Valley entrance

Also has anyone else been crashing as soon as they go to see the Treehouse?

[tawdry pine]

I crashed on my way to the entrance does that count

[cedar holly]

Sure
I guess the whole thing’s buggy

[rain delta]

Nothing to do but wait for a new build haha 😂 hopefully one that’s a bit stable

[cedar holly]

Nice thing about these crashes is they keep playing the music from the game on other apps So relaxing to have the Vault theme while on typing in Discord

[strong phoenix]

i mean it is beta

:0

[wooden raptor]

I hope we can see the rainy treehouse in next build. That change was the reason why I finished sixth quest. I already missed the rainy view

[faint comet]

Can people wear/own the "The Little Prince" pendant already?

[tawdry pine]

Nope
It actually got removed, any attempt of getting it legitimately resulted in a game crash

[faint comet]

Cool cool, thanks

[rain delta]

It got removed? I can still see it in my shop tho

[tawdry pine]

Weird.. When I checked the shop on my phone nothing showed up

[static saffron]

Same

[rain delta]

Ohh wait hold up... it was showing up in my shop a while ago... now it’s not there anymore

[faint comet]

Same for me, it showed up before but not anymore rn

[hollow compass]

I don't think it was supposed to be there.

[tawdry pine]

Most likely tbh

[faint comet]

Probably scheduling error (e.g Earth Cape)

[rain delta]

Hmm it could have been there on purpose.. I mean testing for shared spaces and isle changes was supposed to have started last week..
This build has generally been very buggy, so maybe it was one of those things that wasn’t included due to a bug

[spark lance]

Yea, that is my favourite part of crashing lol

[sick pendant]

my third eye is telling me we wont get an update in the next 5 to 7 business days

[tawdry pine]

It's been 30 days, Assembly has ended and beta still hasn't gotten an update

[tawny badger]

Well there is still stuff to test for assembly (shared space) and rainbow days

[karmic plover]

Hello!

[dry flax]

The stars have aligned!

[karmic plover]

I have come to receive your feedback.

[sick pendant]

grab a pen and a notebook

[spare urchin]

ooh hi :D

[sick pendant]

what would you like to receive feedback about dear totally not handsome krill?

[karmic plover]

Let's start with Shared Spaces!

[vapid drum]

Just got home from work , no time to test yet 😂

[spare urchin]

aww havent had chance to try that yet. i like the concept though!

[spark lance]

Maybe add more space, make it bigger so we have more play room?

[kindred fossil]

I don't understand it

[spark lance]

Multiple levels of floor would be cool

[sick pendant]

ok

the first thing that came to my mind was those home renovation tv shows.
while it's fun but i believe it doesnt make the props less redundant. they still remain as ✨decoration✨

however i like the barrier like thing you put there. that was new and interesting

[sullen relic]

the number indicator by each prop icon is a bit confusing -- it's like the game's implying that we can place multiple copies of each prop rather than just one (and if we can do that, i haven't figured out how)

[wary star]

buy them again maybe?

[split mirage]

I love shared spaces. I wish we could get out of build/decorate mode while we are in the space so we can enjoy the space privately also.

[lunar zealot]

It feels.... very small. And with you technically being able to place 16 items... the small space becomes a mess quickly
Oh, and when you share your space, FPS walks out the door on a vacation. It's kinda funny.
That aside though, it's a really fun concept, but i'd want it bigger and more interactive? As far as i know, the bookshelf is just an empty shelf, and all you do is stare at it at best. Would be cute if an interaction would allow you to skim through a few pages of a book :o

[wary star]

how can others visit your space btw

[tawdry pine]

:I have,,, some ideas 👉👈
But mainly a question since I already sent feedback about that! Are there plans for more share spaces? Like different locations we get to decorate

[rain delta]

I think it’s a bit simple at the moment, doesn’t help that a lot of the props that I have still don’t really have any use cases. For example, the hexagon, I can share this space with friends but what do they do with it? I also can’t help but wonder if the only prop I have is a table, what added benefit does going to the trouble of creating a shared space have for me over just propping down the table at a location?
My friends and I hang out near the cosmetic shelves a lot because it allows us to easily switch between instruments... shared spaces doesn’t help us with this and we would probably still prefer camping out near home

[waxen pike]

How exactly does the shared space work? I’m not sure I understand completely 🤔

[light creek]

Wait is the shared space patched what is it?
Srry haven't played beta for a week now

[spare urchin]

look at #beta-screenshots-videos :))

[waxen pike]

Okay thank you!!

[rain delta]

I agree with some of the comments here stating that the space itself doesn’t make the props seem all that better, since the props that do have functionality can be placed any where in the world and achieve much the same effect. I.e placing down a chat table in valley at the location of my choice, vs placing down a chat table in a confined area for shared space. The props that don’t have a function, unfortunately still remain functionless in a shared space.

[chrome ivy]

Hello, I still confuse about shared space. Is the shared space works like sharing your room with decoration and your friends can access it? If it's the case I hope there's a privilege setting that I can use to choose who can use my space.

[hollow compass]

I don't quite understand the purpose of this shared space. If I want to share a space with some friends, we would do that anywhere with the props we own collectively. Plus, there are still items from Assembly that are just decorative. Will they never have any use?

[chrome ivy]

Probably it's for shared space maybe

It kinda works like roblox meet city.

[random gull]

I really only went into shared spaces for a few minutes. I was excited about the idea of getting to use all the props there until I figured out it only lets you use props you already own so there’s going to be a lot of people, especially newer players, who aren’t going to be able to really use the space at all. I also thought the spaces would reveal some use for the props but it seems that use is still purely decoration? at least the space lets you put more than one thing down but you can’t place more than one of the same thing down still.

[dusty dagger]

Hi! ☺️
I’ll give more comprehensive feedback once I have time to play around with it more and sit down to write...

First Impressions:

• would love more space
• hard to place items where I want them when there’s a huge image right in front of the item as I place it 😬
• would love to be able to access my instruments to play with friends in my Shared Space
• props need more interactivity... right now most feel very useless and expensive

I’m super excited to play around with it! For now, I can’t really say much more. 😊
Thank you guys for all that you do!
🤍

[hollow compass]

I'm giving feedback for Whirtun.

[opal pasture]

hi, had a quick question and was wondering if anyone could answer it. is there any place where switch beta content is being discussed/shared?

[pale junco]

In the switch discord server

[hollow compass]

Yes, the Switch beta Discord.

[chrome ivy]

Welp, good night. Becuase I don't even finish a single quest so still confused about the feature

[opal pasture]

ohh, where can i find the link to that server?

[gilded parrot]

Beta testers' feedback is very important for TGC to create a good player experience! Please try searching for things yourself instead of asking here when possible, and remember to submit your thoughts in #beta-feedback so the devs know how to improve

[faint comet]

I believe they have their own server specifically for Switch Beta

[rain delta]

To be honest this is what I thought shared space would be, a space where me and a friend would be able to collectively decorate an area, maybe share cosmetics if we wanted to, and also I thought the props would have a use case beyond just decorational

As many mentioned already it does feel small, and it is underwhelming for what it is now, many and much more breathtaking places exist in the game, I'd rather bring my friends along those places instead. I was expecting that we'd get an empty treehouse nearby the main treehouse just like the rest of the scouts, or have multiple spaces to share in. Second it's very confusing and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do or how to share my space with everyone.
Placing props is very difficult to get just right on Sky, you always have to angle your camera in a certain way and fight for it to stay at that angle, because the camera doesn't hold still, and props rotate however it pleases. I wish I had more control on the way I place down my props.
Also, I think it would benefit from a closet shrine at the treehouse! So players can change outfits more easily while roleplaying. 🙂
