beta-discussion

[tropic radish]

/I remember during dreams testing when people would offer "DM if you need to go to the village !"
Counterimg a bug with another glitch

[slim kayak]

To get into a seasonal area early, unless there is a bug, you would have to break terms of service, which isn't a good thing.

[hollow compass]

I don't quite understand why this is hard to comprehend. If you spend many months or weeks working on a project, how would you feel if someone snuck in during the night and showed it to the whole world before your scheduled reveal date?

[minor falcon]

the great village teleporting was a fun time back then the area was blocked due to a bug though, any other time stuff like this isn't alright

[mental egret]

if you aren't patient enough to wait for season(mind you this is how many mobile games work), and even though we're beta testers which means we get to see stuff earlier than everyone else, that doesn't give you the right to break the game and get into an area scheduled to release before it does.

[hollow compass]

Yeah. You don't gain anything from it.

[lunar jacinth]

There are times when I tried to teleport to a friend and ... I am in a new unopened area

[hallow igloo]

Like, best case scenario, we're only 20 something hours away from it opening normally.

[mental egret]

in fact, you ruin the suprise for yourself and everyone else should you choose to show/leak new scheduled areas.

[spice mason]

I'm putting my money on a floor is lava part 2

[finite meteor]

when the devs are ready for us to test it

[hallow igloo]

Supposedly it's tomorrow. Supposedly.

[naive solar]

No. It is going to start when the season is ready.

It may be tomorrow, it may be a week later, it may be in June. No one knows

[covert hemlock]

MOTD is not always correct. Pls check #beta-faq. Also, btw the date on Beta is Wednesday, 12th May.😂

Hi Annie didn't realise you were really active here. Judah here

[opaque swan]

Is there a way to report YouTube videos that include hacked items?

[covert hemlock]

#beta-feedback most likely

[haughty hare]

You can send the link to Thathelpbot, I was told...

[hollow compass]

You can DM ThatHelpBot.

[hallow igloo]

And what exactly is that link so we can all report it obviously 👀

Jk jk

[opaque swan]

I just dmed and gave the link

[hollow compass]

jk = joke

[covert hemlock]

Just kiddin'

[hallow igloo]

I'm just joshing ya

I'm just pulling your leg. The japery, the tomfoolery, the absolute waggeries

[static saffron]

I haven't been on beta in a few days

[hollow compass]

There is no obligation.

[static saffron]

I know, but I'll most likely be active on beta again when the season starts/a big update happens

[indigo moth]

Is the rainbow cape still 175 candles?

[slim kayak]

As of the last time we saw it, yes. But the cape was moved to the bottom of the tree, so you don't have to buy all of those spells to get it

[indigo moth]

That is somewhat of a relief, still so expensive though, thank you very much!

[spice mason]

Still feeling the Cape isn't quite worth the price tag

It's especially tough on newer players.

[hardy silo]

I hope they do tone down the price a bit, but I'm grateful that it's worth candles rather than $10 off my savings

[faint comet]

Wait, is the Rainbow Tassel above Iridescent Cape? Or was is it separated?

[kindred fossil]

Rainbow tassel is an accessory, I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

[faint comet]

I know, I meant on the spirit tree

Nvm, I saw it on beta pics

[polar spade]

now we need unlock cape first

[wary star]

send all links to thathelpbot, with all of the info you can find

it sucks that this happens, but it is what it is

[lunar jacinth]

Youtube is filled with videos now

[chrome ivy]

Send image, link to YT of hacked content, something that is not in the Sky beta counted as hacked content and should let the devs to punish it

[pale junco]

They did, you don't need to ping someone unnecessarily read the chat first

[wary star]

yeah

[chrome ivy]

Anyway, floor is lava pt2. SOON™️

[polar spade]

[signal folio]

Is the rainbow guide still around? I didn't see them at home in beta?

[kindred fossil]

Days of Rainbow ended in beta

[dapper ginkgo]

Or nothing happens and we’ll be disappointed

[kindred fossil]

Be prepared for the crash and bug fixes update

[tardy jackal]

What will happen tomorrow?

[kindred fossil]

We'll get beaned that implies many outcomes

[burnt hound]

when is switch releasing?

[rare smelt]

Sometime in June, I believe that’s all the info we have

[sick pendant]

What happened in 1267 in the medieval Russia - absolutely nothing

[chrome ivy]

What happen Sky in 2077? RTX support

[craggy karma]

Lets see if Sky can celebrate 10 years anniversary first lol

[versed fjord]

how to do the new daily task?

[zealous badger]

Feel kinda cheated that Rainbow Event started off super buggy and then left right as everything got fixed. =_= Pretty sure Devs had also said they would probably extend the date for it. But whatever, it’s not like we wanted to enjoy it or anything.

[lilac bobcat]

yeah but if I recall, that hasn't happened since 2 seasons ago. I doubt it'll occur twice

[carmine thorn]

One can dream though...

[zealous badger]

The Wish one? Meditate in office. The shrine is right to the left as soon as you enter the area. Outside the building.

[minor falcon]

beta season start always has something interesting, be it floor is lava, the great legal village break in or corrupted cheese cape we can just enjoy the ride

[sick pendant]

what if all cosmetics will appear magenta?

[lilac bobcat]

what was the great legal village break? The whole camera issue?

[crude turret]

Corrupted cheese Cape?

[minor falcon]

when dreams testing started the barriers to the seasonal area hadn't been removed accidentally, but you could get into village if you joined someone who was viewing the season intro cutscene - once some got it we all made big tp chains to access the area

[zealous badger]

Dude, I think next to crashing randomly the most annoying thing I’ve experienced is the camera locking. =_= Uggggh, it was super frustrating.

[lilac bobcat]

glad that they managed to fix that camera glitch. Like how did that even happen in the first place? It didn't happen before dreams

[chrome ivy]

Cape Asset's not found

[sick pendant]

i made 95% of my beta friends thanks to that bug

[crude turret]

I love the beta memes and stories
How fire prophet never appeared until close to live and we said he was shy
Floor is lava, of course!
When dreams was released and everyone would want to break inside the houses and all
This is why I like to hang in this chat so much! :pWow:

[lusty light]

Beta isn’t for enjoyment

[zealous badger]

I think it was caused by someone activating Spirits in each area.

[lilac bobcat]

so it was caused by a hacker?

[tender oasis]

Pink pole

[chrome ivy]

BUGS

[spark lance]

Тут есть русские?

[gilded parrot]

We ask everyone to please post only in English on this server, @spark lance. Unfortunately, moderators and staff aren't able to support all the languages spoken by our global Sky family.

[zealous badger]

I’m pretty sure that’s subjective. I enjoy finding bugs and glitches to report. Beta is generally pretty fun.

[chrome ivy]

This is English only server.

[crude turret]

Not with that attitude
I know what you mean, about the cosmetics, just like how we were deceived with the red beret
But even if it's not a secure way, it's nice that some people that really want to have a pass but absolutely can't buy one, they can in beta and have that short amount of fun
And of course there are other things in beta such as bugs, some people like beta version more just because of the instability too

[minor falcon]

we can enjoy beta, but our enjoyment isn't the priority

[lusty light]

Please don’t circumvent the filter, if you have a question about why something is censored you can contact the mods about it

[zealous badger]

And what I mean is anytime someone talked to a spirit in an area the camera locked as if you were being led to burn it at the end of the relive sequence.

[crude turret]

I wouldn't say it that harshly but... yes

[sick pendant]

i dunno about you guys but i enjoy bugs more than events. I still miss the tornado

[lusty light]

Yes that’s exactly what I mean

[runic path]

What if a progress wipe

[chrome ivy]

I enjoy beta because IAP's are free and I can watch an buggy beta built burnt

[lusty light]

Well you signed up knowing it would happen eventually lol

Again, please don’t circumvent the filter

[tawdry pine]

No compensations for a broken build, we got various ts broken such as sparkler and Director

And sorry seraph! Just tried to explain / where to look for

[chrome ivy]

I am thinking, why an app crash on Android 11 or 10 doesn't show any error's like "Sky has stop working properly"

[zealous badger]

I don’t think anyone was implying that we were owed any compensation. Least of all me. Just didn’t even feel like we got to test the Rainbow Event properly, but I guess that’s just me.

[lilac bobcat]

Sky should remove the camera locking when you talk to a spirit

[lusty light]

If the devs fixed the bugs then that means it was properly tested

[zealous badger]

It is mildly annoying especially in Krill room tho I find that if you keep moving it’ll break camera panning.

[chrome ivy]

Anyway I don't know what happen to the Early Rainbow Event testing because google beta rollout delay and I heard some people says that when you buy something it says Purchase Failed

[zealous badger]

But we aren’t even sure if they did fix all the bugs. Yeah, pretty sure boat animations for spells were also still broken.

[minor falcon]

it gave you an error message if you bought the spells

[chrome ivy]

And director ts in some case will corrupt local game data

TS on the background and the text says game data corrupt please reinstall the game

[polar spade]

can we know when the new tier two capes online to live version i want black one

[lusty light]

Well they definitely didn’t fix All of them, there are thousands of bugs and it’s impossible to fix them all 🙈, all that matters is that it’s in a playable state

[zealous badger]

It wouldn’t let me collect my spells from the boat when I tried even on the last day the Event was in Beta. Tassel and Cape spells. I’d get a shop is busy message too. Pretty sure that was still a bug.

[lusty light]

The devs do have their own internal testing as well, we don’t need to test everything

[minor falcon]

I saw that happened to someone who tried to buy the items just before director left, others had no issues I thought the ts corruption bug was fixed

[pale junco]

Watch them adding something to the game in future and every bug comes out at once

[sick pendant]

the app would crash the second you touch it in the menu

[finite meteor]

tries to move by 1 pixel
GAME DATA IS CORRUPT PLEASE REINSTA

[zealous badger]

Floor is lava and the stepping mode are the worst ones Beta testers had yet, aren’t they?

[lusty light]

No there’s been worse

[pale junco]

The worst thing is a feature
Looks at message boats

[sullen relic]

from what i've heard, there was a beta bug once where everyone was locked at home with no open gates, and everyone looked like moths -- basically moth party quarantine

[tender oasis]

There were a lot of worse even in my short beta carrier, but it’s subjective. I really hated the lonely server bug when beta was a single player for a few hours

[spice mason]

old woman voice

...There's been some wild bugs in my time.

[crude turret]

I think there was a build where some platform simply couldn't start the game? and other nightmare-ish situations like the moff stick bug

[pale junco]

It was recently with the ui update when the play button was moved to the beginning

[valid terrace]

I remember seeing pictures of a very old bug that put spirit models on people in your constellation honestly it makes me want spirit clothes but that’s beside the point
honestly that one’s funny but it’s besides the point

[trim spade]

The death loop was probably the worst

[sick pendant]

the worst thing is the absence of the king

change my mind

[silent lily]

Ah yes, those cursed bugs,

[pale junco]

I won't, because yes

[valid terrace]

the death loop good lord
that was an annoying one

got split first time in Orbit with a friend and it upset us both

[pale junco]

Wait what if you do a push-up everytime you try to use it's lit here why do i think it would be a lot of times

[faint comet]

Are you referring to the crash dialog? I'm sure you have to unlock developers option for that and afaik crash dialog is only available on Android 11. I could be wrong tho haha

[minor falcon]

single player mode bug during dreams

[polar spade]

But sometimes I am happy with strangers to die

[silent lily]

That was the first time ever i was able to listen to the butterfly catcher theme without someone completing the spirit and the music stopping :)

[valid terrace]

a bug that I called ‘boat paralysis’ in Dreams
the cutscene froze you and your controls

[runic path]

Not even in beta. I once had several month can't make a group orbit when the death loop are still a thing

[chrome ivy]

And that's fit the google and app store tag. "single player"

[sick pendant]

I already have gym membership so no need for that.

Btw today is my last day of nitro. I'll send my last haha lit here and say goodbye to it (cries)

[minor falcon]

it had nice uses as well, I could take skidless screenshots of a lot of otherwise populated places

[valid terrace]

h I could’ve been alone like I want to be sometimes

[sick pendant]

*not here in gen chat

[chrome ivy]

Yes, even I enable always show crash dialog on developer settings. I want to see that sweet crash log that maybe states something.

[trim spade]

I do that in live often and can hear it going on and on and on, but never listened to the end because cr. Is it looping tho?

[faint comet]

Iirc, it just shows "Sky stopped responding" and you have three options whether to close app, and whatnot, forgot the other 2

[timid bough]

wait for the app to respond

[chrome ivy]

Well, when I enable the setting on developer setting and try to crash the game by taping the sleepy boat shop third shop. It just freeze, and kicks me back to home screen without any explanation

[faint comet]

I remember now, "Sky isn't responding" then followed by 3 options, Close App, Wait & Send Feedback

[faint comet]

Interesting

[chrome ivy]

I want to see that send feedback and see the system logs. I don't know why but now I want to see crash logs on sky when it crash. Curious how the game can't handle certain operation

[carmine thorn]

If it's anything like verbose system logs, you won't see much of Sky's output there. It's also a reason TGC says sending logs to them is fruitless.

[chrome ivy]

[rain delta]

You guys it’s 14 hours till MOTD gets extended and it says 3 days left

[foggy atlas]

What is MOTD again?

[foggy atlas]

Message of the day

[spice crown]

Ah, I see

[chrome ivy]

If anyone suprised for that, i would be suprised

[minor falcon]

Oh heyy I thought that was you

My weak beta wings got me trapped under the ground when I tried chibi falling

[chrome ivy]

It happens more than I'd like to admit because I keep being too lazy to get spirits for the gates *and also wings..I'm just very lazy and I'm paying the price

[neat stream]

Hi! This is the beta channel with lotsa spoilers! Better head to #cozy-sky-discussion or #general-sky-discussion to talk about the live game!

[whole viper]

Whoaaaa

[sick pendant]

is it normal that big creatures like mantas leave perfect circles as shadows?

[vapid linden]

hello is the new season actually starting in beta next reset?

[lyric kite]

We won't know until it happens or there's an update announced

[vapid linden]

ohh okay, thank you!

[sick pendant]

Ktjn said the new seasonal area was not added to the game. meaning if there wont be update till the next reset the season won't start

@vapid linden

IMPORTANT
This does NOT mean that if there will be update then the season will start. Update simply increases the chances, not making them 100%

[lyric kite]

Next reset is when the countdown to the next season will end, but those can be wrong in beta so we wait and see

[sick pendant]

that's the season. your life, go play it

[humble bolt]

There's still a few hours until reset, so anything may happen

[austere merlin]

You have no idea how much I love this response

[sick pendant]

in addition to my previous post
IMPORTANT
This does NOT mean that if there will be update then the season will start. Update simply increases the chances, not making them 100%

[humble bolt]

Sometimes the season starts as soon as there's an update, or the update releases hours before the season begins

[lyric kite]

We don't even know for sure yet if there will be an update today though. The only thing we can say is it will start when TGC is ready to test it, only they know what they're planning

[humble bolt]

That's true

[crude turret]

or the season starts days after the update, cause bugs

[sick pendant]

OOR season never starts. it hits live without testing

[jolly compass]

if there’s a fox npc in next season i hope we can have an option to give him head pats

[sick pendant]

the only thing i wish for them is to finally change the seasonal candle colour. orange is getting way too boring

[lyric kite]

They've explained before why they wouldn't do that. Not saying they can't change their minds, but it seems like there aren't any plans for that right now anyway (part of the reason is that orange stands out the best in all the terrains)

[jolly compass]

i feel like there’s ways to make em stand out while also changing the colours, such as adding a lens flare or bright glow around the candles, etc

[grizzled python]

12 hours left y’all! Are y’all excited?

[sick pendant]

yeah i remember that but i still wish they figured out a way of doing so. having the same candle colour over and over and over is just

[sick pendant]

so who's gonna tell them

[minor falcon]

12h to another reset! so excited

[sudden flower]

Just checking but there’s no way to transfer my beta access from android to apple right?

[grizzled python]

You figured out that I didn’t mean the reset before I realized the truth

[narrow narwhal]

absolutely

[sick pendant]

i personally would not reccomend playing beta on Ios unless you wanna drain your battery life just keep your old android for beta if that's possible

[wary star]

skychild be like
Howto get beeta

no

[sudden flower]

Oooh really? Does live sky drain battery that much on iOS? And I’ll be able to keep the android for a bit but not very long

[sick pendant]

it depends but usually yes

[minor falcon]

your beta access is tied to your apple id on ios, if you get an invite you can transfer you progress and crossplay with ios and android devices on one same account though! beta on ios doesn't drain my battery any faster than live does?

[wary star]

im always on a sku ajr

[sick pendant]

well live + beta makes double the trouble

[sudden flower]

Thanks ignis and voi! I’ll wait for the next invite wave then. And I guess battery drain depends on the device

[jolly compass]

on a what now

[timid bough]

well you get updates 1 hour earlier than android

[wary star]

I forgot

[jolly compass]

LMAO FAIR ENOUGH

[north zephyr]

Guys when new season will going to start in beta

[wary star]

never

[sick pendant]

it's starts When ||the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves||

[opal goblet]

I want the same... TGC told me to wait till another invite wave. It's kinda pity cause I don't want a 2d account, just my existing account transferred to Apple. Seems that's not possible🥺.

[north zephyr]

Oof game of thrones

[faint comet]

Dracarys

[sick pendant]

This is such a perfect moment for its lit haha emoji

Too bad it's dead

[minor falcon]

it's possible, just get an ios invite and link your existing beta account on the ios device, then stop testing on android

[cursive tinsel]

Which GoT or this chat to notice? Edit: Dracarys reference...and the the too bad itz dead edited it: nvm

[tender oasis]

Its possible, you just have to link your account to a gmail account and log in when you get an invite to the preferred platform.

[pale junco]

You need invites to download beta, it's upto you if you want to link to same account or not

[opal goblet]

I've my account linked to Gmail... Still I have to wait for an invite wave with the chance I'm not selected. I've downloaded the app 'testflight' already.
But I'm patient 😜.
My android phone battery is slowly dying after playing Live and Beta on it for a year. So I have a new device just for Sky and other relaxing stuff😇. I hope that my phone can live another year 😂.

[hollow compass]

I've had my iPhone X since it was a new release and its battery is down to 91% capacity, despite having both beta and Live on it, plus loads of other apps. I don't think Sky drains your device that badly, unless you play for hours on end every day at highest fps.

[sudden flower]

I heard it’s also bad to keep your phone at 100% or 0% for too long. I’m not sure how much playing sky or other demanding games impacts battery life

[hollow compass]

True. Modern batteries last longer if you don't let them die completely.

[rain delta]

I still think it was weird that they had released a teaser for a season that was supposed to come out in live in July — in may

[hollow compass]

Not really, if you consider that they may want to attract Switch players.

[hardy silo]

im gonna melt and evaporate if there will be no instrument next season

[carmine thorn]

I will accept no instrument if that means they give us more music sheets.

[sick pendant]

i sure hope we won't be given any new useless functionless decorations

[gilded parrot]

[carmine thorn]

What if they give us a sink so they can literally say: We gave you everything, even the kitchen sink.

[kindred fossil]

I've been itching to ask this question since the collab was announced, since it's a licensed collab, will it be eligible in the TS pool?

[sick pendant]

i think so...why shouldn't it? i think while preparing for the collab they discussed and agreed on it

[carmine thorn]

I would assume so. Why would it be locked out of the TS pool?

[radiant drum]

I've actually been looking forward to more decorations since they introduced Shared Spaces But I think they would make more sense if bought specifically for those areas, or some other way to differentiate from regular props you can carry anywhere

[unreal python]

I think we have to wait for official word on it, all we can do is speculate and make assumptions at this point in time. They usually have blogs about the season, maybe we will find out for sure then?

[sick pendant]

i dont see myself nor my friends in crown using the shared space more than once a month at best...what should be my motivation? yes it's cool to have it for birthdays and other parties but thats it

[inland lava]

Whats the new price for the rainbow cape?

[blazing sequoia]

Why fireworks only works 2-3 times before the "forced break" while in live we can use it 4 times in a row?

[blazing sequoia]

Still 175 candles

[unreal python]

Shared spaces may not be for you, but there are other people who really like the idea of it and are excited to create our sky home. I'm excited to see it develop!

[sick pendant]

rainbow event is long over in beta. last time i checked it was 175 candles which is still subject to change

[radiant drum]

I visit the treehouse pretty much everyday in Live, just to hang out with people or sleep for a few minutes and listen to music. One of my favorite things in the game for years has been spending hours with friends doing, essentially, nothing at all. I am very excited to see how this feature will evolve cause I'll personally be using it a lot

[sick pendant]

meh

[unreal python]

I can't wait until we get more props to customize our spaces. Right now since props are limited, peoples spaces look similar. But I think a year from now, it will be a great way to have different variations of self-expression. Everyone's will look so unique!

[kindred fossil]

I lack the words on why it wouldn't be in the TS pool, usually games are stingy with it's collaboration events/items and would never allow for a way to obtain them in the future, so I'm curious on how TGC would handle this

[orchid yacht]

imagine getting interior design degree in sky

[unreal python]

Sky university!

[sick pendant]

Skyniversity

[radiant drum]

I hope there's more permanent props too. I have a few friends that didn't really get many things from assembly in Beta and it's pretty disappointing trying to build a cool space without them

[sick pendant]

season of university when bruh

we dont have any schools in sky yet

[tender oasis]

It would be nice if we had an instrument shelf/closet in the shared space to put down and everyone there could use the instruments you have too, same as the shared furnitures.

[orchid yacht]

imagine getting interior design degree irl from sky

[unreal python]

Hammock is one of the best back items in sky, I feel sad for the future moths who miss out on it (when its not back as a TS)

[orchid yacht]

it'll come back as TS just like everything

[unreal python]

I would love to be able to place my instruments as a prop so other people could use them! Thats a great idea.

[carmine thorn]

I think props would have to follow physics, which they don't right now. Remembers stacking all my props on top of each other knowing they shouldn't balance the way they are

[radiant drum]

A friend suggested we should be able to place our own instruments for anyone to play in our space... and now I need that

[kindred fossil]

Probably in a year or two, with the way the system is currently

[unreal python]

I never use my instruments, so I would love to place them out so others could give them love. Especially instruments that are Ultimate gifts

[carmine thorn]

Dismiss:

[hardy silo]

handpan pls

[unreal python]

Dismiss keeps snoozing their alarm clock

[kindred fossil]

Still going strong at a 1 year!

[unreal python]

"Just 5 more minutes...."

[carmine thorn]

Dismiss is just sitting here proving how bad RNG can really be.

[kindred fossil]

Is it now?

[spark lance]

Anyone liking the new pnr update? Where only 1 giving option will show up at one time

[unreal python]

Eden in Beta looming over me telling me its been weeks since I last tested it:

[tender oasis]

I think thats not pnr specific, but every prop and friendship emote has the same issue? Whichever is closer shows the icon.

[pale junco]

Rng is working fine it's the people that are putting value to the ts that hasn't been chosen yet. It would've been the same thing with some other spirit.

[sick pendant]

fun fact

basic coded randomizers arent really random. most of them are based on the number Pi (3.14....) which means if we randomize a number from 0 to 10 for example there are numbers that are more likely to be selected

[vapid drum]

Like in real life , all ya need is a place to sleep 💤

[sick pendant]

a really good suggestion to the ts system would be rolling a ts from those who havent appeared yet after live gets for example 3 tss in a row

[viscid viper]

Can't wait for next season tomorrow

[carmine thorn]

Next season is 99.9% not happening tomorrow. Timers and MOTD are usually wrong in beta.

[viscid viper]

Rip my dreams

[carmine thorn]

It's in the #beta-faq. Best to reread it

[rain delta]

Enjoy beta without lava now kids, tomorrow we’ll see 🔥

[spark lance]

hope the season not get delay xD

[kindred fossil]

I still feel it's too early, we're still testing Shared Space

[spark lance]

What if it happens? 👀 Better be mentally prepared, just in case 😋

[carmine thorn]

If it happens, I'll eat my cape

[west hinge]

Does the switch beta have an option to use the controls instead of touch screen?
I think thatd be really sick if so

[spark lance]

Maybe the new season needs more testing time, considering Nintendo's launch 🙇🏻‍♀️

[west hinge]

What are the controls like or would be like?

[wary star]

wait

[tender oasis]

If it was the cheese cape I wouldn’t be too worried, but with any other cape

[carmine thorn]

Black tier 2, so it would taste a little like Graveyard.

[spark lance]

Like toxic water

[finite meteor]

i read cheese cape and the first thing i think of is cheese touch
then remembered the placeholder ult cape for assembly

[spark lance]

welp someone destroyed my dream

[vapid briar]

@finite meteor that's really not appropriate, could you please delete your message?

thank you!

[west hinge]

I think flap should be left trigger, glide/hover should be Y, jump should be right trigger, and the item use (instrument/prop) should be right bumper, and honk should be A or B, and candle would be X

Shortcut controls like this would feel so great to have for Sky

[carmine thorn]

As someone who grew up in a time where console controllers didn't have bumpers, I like jump/flight being on a/b/x/y instead of bumper or trigger. Trigger would feel unnatural to me, personally.

[west hinge]

Well tbh, itd be even greater if we had a fully customizable control

Allow us to set
Hover/glide
Jump
Instrument/prop
Flap
Honk
Candle

To any button of our choice

It would make switch gameplay for sky so dang appealing

And then each button of D pad would open a different emote tab

[carmine thorn]

If Switch controls are like Android's X-input, they feel pretty fluid. I just hate flight mode being right bumper, it would feel more natural where honk currently is. (A)

[west hinge]

Well thats why i say we should have full option to customize

Cos clearly everyone has different opinions, and we should have a chance to play as we want

[minor falcon]

I'd barely held a controller before getting one for sky, the bumper flight mode switch is nice imo

[carmine thorn]

You can tell when I'm playing on a controller, because I just randomly honk due to the confusion.

[west hinge]

Okay so the switch DOES use the buttons and triggers tg tg

[carmine thorn]

Me on controller: honk bonks into a wall when trying to change from open wing to closed wing to land

[west hinge]

I still feel like we should be able to dump as many actions as possible onto any button of our choice, and the EMOTE TABS are a very IMPORTANT thing to be able to deal with navigating easier by splitting it up onto the 4 keys of the d-pad

[cedar holly]

Wait, is it possible to link a controller to the mobile version of Sky? It’d be fun to try it out before hand (:0

[carmine thorn]

IF your controller supports X-input, yes. Dualshock and Xbox controllers support X-input via Bluetooth on Android and iOS.

[cedar holly]

I have no idea what X-input is (:000 I’m guessing Switch controllers don’t have it..?

[minor falcon]

having a "take candle out" toggle on a controller would be :chefskiss:

[grand sphinx]

I got spoiled in gen chat so im here to ask if ||pnr|| is getting an update

[carmine thorn]

Joycons and third party pro controllers don't. Older Pro controllers like my Wii U one doesn't either.

[orchid yacht]

x-input is basically what makes controllers compatible with devices other than the console

[tawdry pine]

If someone in the live channels is spoiling beta stuff, go to #contact-the-mods

[grand sphinx]

Nah we already sorted it out in chat

[west hinge]

Yeah nintendo isnt known for being one to share

[tawdry pine]

"oh you have a wii remote? The same controller we used 2 generations of consoles so now you have a ton? Buy more but this time be it this specific control that drifts"

[valid terrace]

the emote menu is probably the most important menu in the whole game, it should be easily accessible

[pallid cipher]

Everyone ready for when nothing happens tomorrow?

[valid terrace]

one of the most important features in the whole game

[sage linden]

this might be a stupid question but I was wondering what pnr stands for??

[pallid cipher]

Point of no return I think

[valid terrace]

I can’t wait for nothing!

[sage linden]

Ohh that makes sense, thank youuuu

[pallid cipher]

I’m very bored in beta, what should I do?

[dry flax]

Play Live. Look for bugs

[pallid cipher]

ok!

[finite meteor]

break beta, play w friends in live or beta, break beta more, break krills uhhh break beta again

[minor falcon]

you can try the "spam an emote until you crash" thing from B and pakka

[blissful silo]

mmm is rainbow tassel changed from 20 hearts to 20 candles still?

[tender oasis]

That was or last info before the event ended in beta.

[lilac bobcat]

I wonder what new exciting features will come with this new season?

[orchid yacht]

can someone try running out of the office with one of those birthday crabs?

[hollow turret]

Lmaoo it won’t stay with you

[orchid yacht]

I just tried and the game crashed, which is why I was asking

[hollow turret]

Oh rip 🥲

[mental ridge]

They don’t wanna leave the party ||a sec, I’mma try too||

[soft monolith]

I just got teleported to vault with no crab

[mental ridge]

Seems like my crabs are ok with leaving ^^

[orchid yacht]

hmm
try the ones with the presents on top?

maybe just a random one-off crash

[mental ridge]

I did, no crashes on my end ^^

[carmine thorn]

Just tried, no crash here. That little bugger didn't want to stay in my hands though. Dropped him twice without tapping the arrow button.

[kindred fossil]

Were you consistently running? They drop off automatically if you're not handling them carefully (moving at a snail's pace)

[carmine thorn]

I was running, seems the little floor dividers and the steps made me "hop" a little and that's how I dropped

Uploading to screenshots channel and you can see I dropped when I 'hopped'

[kindred fossil]

It is a little annoying when you want to take it to a spot ASAP before it resets

[inland hornet]

is the new season dropping on beta at reset?

[timid bough]

yes but no

[orchid yacht]

#beta-discussion message

[tawdry pine]

The countdown is unreliable, we don't know if at reset the new season will start or the game will become unplayable (floor is lava part 2 anyone?)

[rain delta]

I know a new bug is probably gonna fall down at reset tho, hopefully it isn’t a pesky one

[chrome ivy]

Devs After US 12 am reset: We want to sleep please
Floor is lava part 2:
Devs:

[inland hornet]

Like firefighters on call 😂

[random gull]

petition to make reset noon so chaotic reset bugs are easier to fix since it’s the work day

[limpid crown]

A few more hours before the MOTD goes to zero, will there be a new season? Or it'll be just nothingness? We'll find that out later

...or maybe something else might happen

[lost pivot]

prob lava floor? the timer on beta is usually wrong

[limpid crown]

Please no more floor is lava

[lost pivot]

just prepare for it, just in case

[limpid crown]

I'm prepared for it after what happened to Season of Prophecy

[spark lance]

Entrance: Deemo Version is just around the corner for Beta

[hallow igloo]

Well no matter what, wether there won't be an update and the floor is lava 2 happens, or there is an update, and a new season will come with issues, prepare for some bugs tomorrow

[limpid crown]

No matter what happens this next reset, I won't be surprised at all, because as always...

..."Beta just being Beta"

[polar spade]

I'm ready to my phone may blow up

[limpid crown]

why did I wrote Earlier instead of Next Reset

[hallow igloo]

Side note, I think a nice idea of shares spaces is that less is better with such a small space

[formal lintel]

i remember way back when we wait to test the season of prophecy its kinda annoying we cant even let our skykid run becoz of the floor lava

[limpid crown]

You have to F L Y

[sick pendant]

fun fact the phrase "floor is lava"was used 666 (667 now) times in this server

coincidence?
I THINK NOT!!!

the lava will come straight from hell

[sick pendant]

ktjn did u send this message?

[chrome ivy]

Devs: Should we fix beta the MOTD and Season cutscene
Another Devs: Nah

[chrome ivy]

Hmmm, sus

[sleek pelican]

It's so weird that the meme comes at the right moment

[trim spade]

I think it’s triggered by certain words

[vapid briar]

skybot has a mind of its own, it sensed a disturbance in the beta force

[lilac bobcat]

Why is everyone expecting another floor is lava situation? That happened 2 seasons ago. Literally it hasn’t happened since the Season of Prophecy and it’s currently on the season of assembly.

not exactly beta related, but have you tried rebooting your phone?

[wary star]

howdoidothat

[radiant drum]

stop the nonsense spam please

[slim kayak]

mind if i dm you, since its not beta related?

[wary star]

yeah butidontthinkicaclickoit

[formal lintel]

it's just reminisce hehehe

[vapid briar]

discussion should be about beta, if you're having issues with your device, you should seek help from the device manufacturer. we're not equipped for tech support here.

[spark lance]

Meanwhile I here in the beta with some skykids watching a skykid catching more than 8000 season passes

Sky hacks of the light

[carmine thorn]

please don't discuss unsavory activities in this discord server.

[spark lance]

I'm just reporting a hacker just
And it's really funny, by the way, to see a shower of seasonal candles
But I will report, don't worry

[vapid briar]

report in-game not in discord chat please

we ask that folks refrain from talking about hacks in the discord because folks like to get curious and we want to discourage the behavior. hackers feed off the attention if they lurk here, don't give them the satisfaction.

[spark lance]

just please improve the anti hack in the game more

Anyway, I can't wait for the season to start tomorrow

[vapid briar]

we make improvements all the time, but unfortunately hackers are just as quick to find new ways. it's a never ending arms race, but just because you see nothing, doesn't mean we aren't doing anything about it.

[polar spade]

If ppl are not curious, what they do is meaningless, but it is impossible

[spark lance]

I wonder which cosmetics will come in the little prince's season, I guess we will have the little prince's clothes like pants.

I hope so

[vapid briar]

@lucid starthat's really not appropriate for a family friendly server, nor does it have anything to do with Sky or the little prince. Could you please delete your post?

[lucid star]

Ktjin: 3
Bea: 0

[thorn oxide]

😮

[whole helm]

anyone have the guide button in emote menu? i just have it today and pretty curious with it-

[lucid star]

Oh yeah it shows you what spirits someone is missing when you tap in it above someone else's head. It's for new players to request help.

[sleek pelican]

That's kinda neat. Haven't tried yet

[static saffron]

What was added/changed? Can't get on beta

[whole helm]

i click on someone's button and it show confetti
how

[spark lance]

I liked this guide system to lead to the spirits
It is very useful for those who are having difficulties to find the spirits scattered around the map.
Aproved!

[radiant drum]

the game wants you to throw confetti at them

[sleek pelican]

Congratulations for being born?

[sterile plinth]

[mystic elm]

that sounds helpful! this one time someone just cycled through all their emotes for me and i was standing there like...i don't have an emote for slow down please...

[whole helm]

i send it in screenshot channel thp

[sleek pelican]

We need this emote in game

[slim kayak]

its the first part of level 1 deep breath

[static saffron]

Guess I'll see for myself when I can, which won't be in a few weeks most likely

[sleek pelican]

There are some pics in screenshot channel if u want to peek

[steady pond]

i just hope there arent people who deliberately click yes to guiding to troll moths

this is such a nice feature though, id love to help them but i dont want to add moths so this kinda solves both problems for me

[trim spade]

Just saw someone in beta with an icon showing for them to be helped with spirits

[slim kayak]

i used the help feature and i can apparently help myself

[trim spade]

They were far away too

[carmine thorn]

Is this possibly an update to the shelved "Shepherd system," or is it a new system entirely?

[sleek pelican]

So moth can't see the icon for guiding? That would be nice

[steady pond]

i wonder if there'll be requirements that you need to meet in order to help people out, like you have to have all the spirits or reach valley at the very least. otherwise lost moths are gonna click guide for other moths and start a chain of getting helplessly lost

[sleek pelican]

I remember moth me being guided by moth😂 we were just flying around valley ice rink not knowing where to go😂 i was a powerbank

[slim kayak]

ok, getting really bad haptic feedback. my phone is vibrating too much

[wary star]

my phone is on life support

[sterile plinth]

@slim kayak you can turn it off in the Settings under Control

[slim kayak]

You know, this guiding system also helps older players in regards to seasonal spirits. Sometimes they're too good at hide and seek it's a pretty cool concept

[runic path]

Compared to shepherd system. This is a more okay way to encourage vets to help moth. Like it

[slim kayak]

And unlike the shepherd system, there isn't a downside of some players using it as a status symbol

[sterile plinth]

Your daily reminder that there's no vets in Sky

[bright portal]

but my crab is sick

[ashen tundra]

Wow this spirit guide feature is very helpful! I would love to help a moth without either of us needing to spend a candle

I'll be doing my prairie candle run and all of a sudden this moth comes up to me and asks, "I need help to find spirits please "

[static saffron]

Yes, vets don't exist

[ashen tundra]

I am hoping no one trolls these moths with this new feature

[void mica]

The Eden Star River is very beautiful
and it is very suitable for me to take pictures as a souvenir

[analog citrus]

It seems like the changes to the isle caves and cutscene have made it to live for me… and it’s bugged the heck out. Keeps tping me back to the caves from all ove in isle

A guide for spirits ?

[left dragon]

UPDOOT

[foggy atlas]

[simple coyote]

pls google LEMME PLAY

LEMME INNNNNN

[radiant drum]

Be careful about spreading misinformation, even as jokes. There is no season announcement in Beta as countdowns are still often wrong

[vagrant heart]

go find the button and figure out what it does

[spark lance]

IOS testers, let it RIP!!!

[slim kayak]

Check your emotes menu

[broken laurel]

omg i'm still updating 😭

[lucid star]

TGC: Press the button DONT ASK WHAT IT IS JUST PRESS IT

[celest zodiac]

Android: 1 HOUR LATER...update :")

[formal lintel]

the date in MOTD now is fix

[jolly bear]

I saw the Update with the Speed of Light--

[nimble lava]

My inbox says the message is unavailable-

[radiant drum]

Did you update?

[hollow turret]

Sameee lol I’m updating now!

[simple coyote]

what's the countdown now

and remember yall it can still be wrong

[whole lagoon]

So will there be new season today

[drifting atlas]

Pretty sure I'll be seeing that button a lot everywhere by moths when it comes to Live

[formal lintel]

4 hours left for new season

[hollow turret]

Yessssss!!

[sturdy copper]

wait what-

[chrome ivy]

I watching #beta-screenshots-videos says new buton. Press to See what happen.
*Press it
my phone exploded

[nimble lava]

It wasn’t updated, I may be stupid

[slate heath]

oml :0

[narrow narwhal]

I may have the update available, but it hasn't even gotten a quarter of the way of downloading but don't fret everyone, we'll all be able to see everything eventually no need to rush

[ember cedar]

guess season starts in 4 days

[radiant drum]

That's what the MOTD says, aka it is most likely accurate. Reminder to read pins and #beta-faq

[runic path]

Careful there could be lava

[spark lance]

guys my inbox just says unavailable

[mental otter]

seeing the "check your inbox" in the update message and getting excited but then remembering i'm on android

[radiant drum]

If you can't see the message, make sure you update first

[hollow turret]

Remember…being on discord doesn’t help😂😂

[limpid crown]

Looks like no The Floor is Lava later

[dreamy yarrow]

It says new button- but what is the new button??

[ember cedar]

guide button

[naive osprey]

it's a krill

[formal lintel]

guide button for new player im guess

[chrome ivy]

If the inbox says unavailable. You need to update it.If you on Android you need to wait 1 hour to let google is google

[slim kayak]

Test it out and see what happens

[dreamy yarrow]

Where is that??

[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

ohh what an interesting feature

[radiant drum]

Press it. Do it.

[zealous badger]

New button?

[vagrant heart]

press the button!!!

[jolly compass]

emotes menu

[sturdy copper]

what does it do :00 i’m still updating 😭

[naive osprey]

press the new button what are you scared of... a krill?

[vapid briar]

this happens when you tap the button

[proud coral]

SAKLSJA

[spark lance]

spam presses button

is this enough?

[sick pendant]

The message I replied to states in bold that it doesn't mean the season will start but it does mean that the chances are higher. And that's what I meant

[narrow narwhal]

Omg ktjn-

[proud coral]

That was so unexpected HAHAH

[simple coyote]

PLS THAT SCARED ME

[tiny umbra]

Us @ the spirits we’re supposed to guide the moths to

[timid bough]

the final form

[bright portal]

when we press the button this image downloads into our device and auto sets as our wallpaper /j

[broken laurel]

ohhh does the announcement mean the ||guide button||?

[sick pendant]

What's the button?

[zealous badger]

Ooh, what a GREAT feature ❤️

[chrome ivy]

Did the parents didn't tell you do not press a mysterious button?

[limpid crown]

Aight everyone, remember that stated fact in #beta-faq: "Countdown Timers are often wrong"

[broken laurel]

This is actually a pretty great idea!

[jolly bear]

[radiant drum]

This chat has lots of excited beta peeps that are excited for a seasonal update, so it's best for us to be clear rather than humorous and clarify messages such as yours with a bit of

[spark lance]

i wish we can place more then 1 cake at a time

[drifting atlas]

I can't hear, therefore I will press it

[zealous badger]

Agreed, this would have been incredibly useful when I was a moth. Such a great feature.

[vast moth]

this is so amazing brb gonna show my friends who have no clue what sky is

[native sky]

I imagine this will have a lot of use given the upcoming Switch release which will metaphorically open the flood gate.

[sick pendant]

Got it.

[lilac solstice]

I'm excited to lead real moths with it and not myself

[jolly bear]

Le me still waiting for the Update to come at Android Store

[ember cedar]

if its 4 days till season starts then its 5 days till season starts

[spark lance]

Wait does this mean we cant pretend to be moths

[sick pendant]

GUIDE BUTTON WHA

[bright portal]

can u also set skybot to post this ever so often just like lookfamitsnotthatdeep.jpg

[radiant drum]

You probably should ask skybot that

[lilac bobcat]

Remember that the countdown timer is usually incorrect during beta...and sometimes live

[peak token]

Uhhh how to unsee the pic that ktjn send 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[modern pebble]

Maybe 5, maybe 20

[vapid briar]

who says it isn't already

[slim kayak]

What in the world did I just come back to

[proud coral]

Waaaah it's such a cute feature I just tried it

[drifting atlas]

Perhaps if we spam that button, people would think we're moths just a theory

[spark lance]

everybody in beta see a new button and they go PUSH PUSH PUSH

[vapid briar]

my only regret is forgetting who originally made that image

[ember cedar]

yeah the timer was 4 hours then after the update it turned 4 days

[slate heath]

When's the season starting?

[carmine thorn]

beta chat being beta chat.

[vapid briar]

when it's ready

[cobalt kestrel]

me trying to update beta:
my wifi: 🚪

[lilac bobcat]

Could of been a mistake

[narrow narwhal]

Has anyone who hasn't got all the spirits yet tried to help guide themselves in a realm where they need spirits? Does it show where the spirits are that you need?

[limpid crown]

And Beta Channels just goes chaotic

[tiny umbra]

No floor is lava 2.0 for this testing period

[lilac solstice]

Now I wanna actually test how it works. How does it know what spirits you need?

[runic path]

Question, will moth actually look for this button? Or they just flap around everywhere

[sick pendant]

The chat's quality 📈 stonks

[formal lintel]

hmm mine still 4 hours and now change to 4 days hahahaha

[chrome ivy]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON ™️

[spark lance]

imagine the timer is at 1 minute and the devs change it to 1 week

[jolly bear]

Soon

[sick pendant]

They kind of did. It resetted to 4 days I saw a pic in screenshots

[jolly bear]

[sick pendant]

Side note. How come some of us and not all of us?

Device specific bug?

[zealous badger]

Sadly tho, it’s already broken. When I first tested it it actually put the icon over my head, but now it’s not showing up over my head.

[tiny umbra]

The button is currently located where it’s very easy to find and see, there’s a red dot where the emote menu opens, so it would be very hard for actual moths to miss it. Whether or not they’ll actually click it, I can’t predict

[gilded parrot]

Are you sure you looked everywhere? It has to be somewhere! Remember to try searching for things in Beta yourself, and if you're struggling with something, submit that as feedback to TGC in #beta-feedback to help them improve it!

[bright portal]

love the new feature , looking forward to help moths when it's in live

[spark lance]

sometimes the icon disappears when people honk. it's kinda random though lol

[vapid briar]

#beta-known-issues

[stray elk]

This player needs help getting krilled. Will you guide them?

[zealous badger]

It didn’t disappear, it just doesn’t show up over my head at all anymore.

[real thicket]

Is it just me or did the new season releace coundown jump up to 4 days

[spark lance]

looking forward to pretend to be moth and steal everyones candles

[timid bough]

they thought of this

[vapid briar]

that seems pretty disingenuous

[sterile plinth]

OMIGOSH, THIS FEATURE IS SO COOL!

[sick pendant]

May I know the reason behind it? Is it tied with the shepherd system?

[proud coral]

Ooooh shepherds only might have the button?

[lilac solstice]

So it might be a shepard type thing then?

[desert mango]

New button is awesome idea .. good work tgc I love it and sure everyone else probably will too 🙂

[plush osprey]

Wait what wym not everyone have access to it

[stray elk]

moth can help moth right?

[trim spade]

The update is stuck rip

[tiny umbra]

The button appeared above my head in home space, when there were other players in my server, but didn’t appear in an empty server in Isle, next to an actual spirit

[simple coyote]

maybe not everyone will have the button to request help to get spirits bc they already have them all?

and those who have all spirits will have the other option appearing into other's players heads

[split wave]

are android testers able to download the update yet? i cant UnU

[hollow turret]

Was the date extended??

[proud coral]

Wait it isn't shepherds only... I just helped on my moth account

[wary star]

whats the inbox messages

[finite inlet]

what feature

[zealous badger]

It won’t show up over my head anymore either. I can choose to request help, but I can’t see the icon over my head.

[slim kayak]

Android usually takes 1 hour after the update releases to get the update. We just gotta wait

[jagged marsh]

What-

[lilac solstice]

That would make sense. Then we could help others

[whole lagoon]

So the new season delayed right?

[sick pendant]

I think it's device specific then... Maybe only IOS can?

[real thicket]

i think so

[plush osprey]

I have all spirits and have the button

[split wave]

oh, its cause i saw a video in the screenshots thing so i thought it was out but just my device wasnt working heh

[proud coral]

Possibly, the message of the day might never have aligned with the release

[zealous badger]

I’m iOS and I have it.

[lilac solstice]

I can. I'm android though not ios

[slim kayak]

Its not. I could see it in the previous build

[bright portal]

the testing is delayed , if that is what you mean

[lilac bobcat]

Maybe...maybe not

[covert hemlock]

Hey Annie Judah here

[vapid briar]

it's not device specific, and we won't be giving details at this time about how it works. we want folks to try it out and form their own opinions first.

[bright portal]

hey friend

[zealous badger]

I was gonna get a screenshot with it over my head and now it won’t appear.

[sick pendant]

How are y'all on android and already on the new build doesn't it take an hour to update?

[slim kayak]

It was already in the previous build. Must have slipped in

[whole helm]

i don't think so, i have all spirits and i still can request help

[spark lance]

Interesting feature... to me it seems like a free "sign up to get kidnapped" button haha

[carmine thorn]

The button seems to be a server side thing, because some of us noticed the button before the update

[lilac solstice]

Mine auto updated. Oh i got the update on time this time

[modern pebble]

The button appeared a bit before the update

[real thicket]

Where does the button show up?

[vapid briar]

enabling this feature did not require a patch.

[frozen rapids]

Anybody look at their inbox and see “Message Unavailable”

[sterile plinth]

The feature

[sand hill]

emote menu

[carmine thorn]

The right of your prop/instrument in emote menu

[static saffron]

So no instrument button?

[vapid briar]

what does require a patch is viewing the inbox message.

[sleek pelican]

guide button is the fourth button

[wanton shale]

the dev in beta said: check the inbox?

[sick pendant]

OK update. I'm on android previous build and I have the button

[mental otter]

same here

[spark lance]

I like the cute lil "you found a spirit together!" message tho

[sick pendant]

Y do I have it is the real question. The gods of sky decided I was worthy enough? Kind enough?

Those gods probably don't know how chaotic I am

[static saffron]

I can't even get on beta so like, I'll be missing out on testing

[spark lance]

y’all the new button is so epic

[narrow narwhal]

Maybe it depends on the time when the account was made instead of the activities you do?

[mental otter]

it's basically looking for group but in-game that's nice

[spark lance]

it’ll be so helpful. im genuinely so happy and excited for new players

[sick pendant]

Anyways gotta go test C ya

[plush osprey]

I need someone to use the button. I saw a stranger but they didn’t push my button

[static saffron]

Emote spam is still mostly gone isn't it

[narrow narwhal]

Oh beta finished updating time to go test

[lilac solstice]

Imagine using it for requesting a candle run Uber. That would be pretty neat

[modern pebble]

Actually the button is to ask for help ... not to give it

[spark lance]

That is so cool i got stolen

[foggy atlas]

[high charm]

so wait who can see the button then??

[bright portal]

there's some delay in toggling on and off for the request help button

[whole helm]

maybe shepherds?

[astral hamlet]

I've been off chat for about a week, so forgive me asking about something old news...
what's the banner for at home?

[formal lintel]

hmmm when i open back my app the MOTD said 3 hours left and then open again the MOTD change the countdown again

[static saffron]

.

[sullen osprey]

what if the new time is also incorrect and they give us another 5 days to wait

[left mantle]

Will there still be testing opportunities this season for iOS？

[static saffron]

Beta waves aren't linked to seasons anymore

[spark lance]

we don’t know

[sullen osprey]

#beta-signup-info is ur best buddy

[left mantle]

i can’t find it

[covert hemlock]

still realise that the season would be tested in June

[sick pendant]

U can spam level 1 only

[sleek pelican]

Please read #beta-faq

[lament rain]

[tardy jackal]

[formal lintel]

if i'm not mistaken the new button is for you to guide the new player without become their friend?

[static saffron]

Hhh

[north halo]

beta update 🤔 ok first question, did they change the MOTD countdown? (i hope not

[spark lance]

i hope u can use this to make people carry u for cr

[astral hamlet]

lol dis

[covert hemlock]

Don't think so

[broken fractal]

I see there's no sherperd icon anymore? <♡>

[sick pendant]

Well we can generally agree if a person is requesting help and you light them up and they have 11 wedges it means they need an uber for cr

[narrow narwhal]

That's a really interesting way to use the feature

[covert hemlock]

well do they really need help with then? Gosh

[spark lance]

need help candles 🕯

[sick pendant]

Help? No. Uber? Yes

[covert hemlock]

Let's ask them for uber

[sick pendant]

And not befriend them by spending precious candles

[prisma mesa]

We could save our candle. Some veteran oftenly add moth to guide them but the moth usually never came back to sky, this feature is really convinient

[slim kayak]

Ah, so the new guide button is replacing the shepherd system? Finally, an update to the shepherd system

[olive wolf]

I'm kinda worried about this new shepherd system. What's keeping players from mistreating the moths? I'm talking about a moth requesting help in wasteland and then getting krilled after a player "guides" them

[gilded parrot]

A "moth" is a new player. They have brown wings, they flap around uncontrollably, and they are drawn to flame!

[spark lance]

i love this now i can help others cr

[north halo]

i see a lot of yes emote how many time left for the season shown in MOTD, after update

[static saffron]

I feel like this new update will encourage players to not friend others

[steady pond]

which is a good thing imo i dont want to friend people just because i want to help them one time

[timid bough]

it will be restricted to some extent

[bright portal]

maybe a penalty system where if the player is reported for trolling during the guide they will be restricted and cannot use that feature for a week

[spark lance]

After u helped then u can still be friends if u want

[sick pendant]

Besides we can finally avoid THE question

[static saffron]

This ui is still very unfinished...a lot of stuff that was from the old ui is still missing, which probably isn't coming back

[sleek pelican]

Make u sure u have updated to the latest build to see the message properly

[sick pendant]

the question - are you boy or girl?

[slim kayak]

It means you need to update the game.

[trail gorge]

Probably adding immunity on the moth from being krilled and only the leader gets affected would be a good counter from krilling moths

[olive wolf]

Hmm, that's interesting to think about. I gotta say tho, if anything it encourages players to have a genuine connection to another player before friending them.

[steady pond]

lol imagine if we get a rating system instead.
"was your guide helpful?" and if you get too many downvotes youre not allowed to guide moths anymore w

[bright portal]

this also could be abused by players whoare using the feature for ubering

[celest zodiac]

new season delay???

[covert hemlock]

Exactly my point. It is to use for new moths not otherwise

[sleek pelican]

Real uber give snacks(cool cape spell) to please the customer

[narrow narwhal]

"rate me 5 stars on Skuber"

[timid bough]

the "i need help button" will be restricted to those who don't actually need help

[steady pond]

new season was never delayed to begin with. its never even been confirmed to start

[static saffron]

Emote spam with all emote levels, recent emotes, screenshot button not being blocked by ui, smaller size, smaller buttons...

[chrome ivy]

100 Candles= You can help a moth

[wet mist]

i was about to come crying, asking what the button was only to realise my beta didnt update www

[spark lance]

But they are helping us cr

[opaque yew]

Different device different screen size, why don’t TGC add UI preferences in setting like audio so player can pick their favourite icon sizes ??

[cosmic orchid]

"This player needs help to git gud. Will you guide them?"

[hollow jay]

The guide button is kinda unstable? Sometimes appearing, sometimes vanishes

[celest zodiac]

yesterday it said season start in 24 hours

[steady pond]

FAQ also said since the beginning of time that MOTD is almost always wrong

[carmine thorn]

Button shows up on the previous build. It requires certain criteria to see the button. Criteria TGC will not tell us.

[static saffron]

Once this hits live I'll likely stop playing

Talking about all these new changes (eden and isle changes, ui, etc)

[covert hemlock]

For me, these kind of updates are amazing and special bcuz I got up in the morning to this😂

[trail gorge]

Sorry can you explain how it could be abused? I don't see the harm in ubers using the feature to their advantage during runs

[random gull]

shepherd is gone so I assume this help button thing is replacing it? rather than people trying to earn some kinda badge, it allows moths to just ask for help directly and anyone who genuinely wants to help will stop and help them

[cosmic orchid]

what? why tho
ahhh, I understand

[hollow jay]

I'm just curious: I didn't see any button above strangers' head.

Can you see the button with strangers?? Or we should first light up

[olive wolf]

Ok but imagine how useful this new feature will be in Eden. I can guide moths thru Eden more often now.

[astral hamlet]

mingSyen... we learn long ago: the times in beta are not expected to be accurate. it's usually a place-holder text

[wet mist]

||ask for help basically ||

[random gull]

and idk what criteria there is for viewing it. I’m sure it’s a bug if you can’t see it cuz both me, a shepherd, and a friend who made a brand new account can see the button

[spark lance]

This will be fun to krill everyone with in eden

[sleek pelican]

Butbut #beta-known-issues

[hollow jay]

But can you see it all the time or

[astral hamlet]

that's great idea hotdog!

[faint comet]

Android peeps, yall received the update yet?

Edit: cool cool, I'll be back in a jiffy

[fluid quail]

I can kidnappe hold a stranger now

[random gull]

definickly I was replying to someone (I should have hit reply) who said there was criteria for viewing the button. idk why there would be or how a brand new account would have hit it if there was.

[static saffron]

Don't think the devs are considering bringing back figments of the old ui; all level emote spam, screenshots while ui is open but isn't blocking the button, recent emotes, and smaller size

[slim kayak]

20 ish minutes before I check Google play again

[orchid yacht]

if I just temporarily freeze updates-
season :pFIRE:

[livid jasper]

i dont have it updated but i got the button tho 👀
(tho the inbox i received says "unavailable")

[slim kayak]

Yeah, the button didn't require a patch, so some of us found it before the update

[mild loom]

we can’t really do the collect light task in dp right

[hollow jay]

I posted a video of the button. Anyone same as me?

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[wet mist]

its in your emote menu!

[celest zodiac]

I need the button picture 😂 so curious

[spark lance]

U can make the people who help u wear spells

[steady pond]

i think most of the latter you mentioned are resolution issues that need to be fixed. iPad has smaller icons as far as im aware but everyone else seems to vary in the size of the emotes (although most have them larger)

[spark lance]

Wait some people updated the game but still see 3 hours left?

[static saffron]

It takes up almost all of my screen...

[timid bough]

UI is still in works, optimization, changes
there isn't a due date for when it will released to live
it could be tomorrow it could be next year

[clear cargo]

Huh early update

[steady pond]

it'll go through adjustments and likely be changed ... i also get uncomfortable looking at friend trees now lol

[rain delta]

I told you guys... motd can’t be trusted

[bright portal]

Sorry late reply i had work
the feature is basically to encourage helping new players tho, if they were to add immunity there's a couple of bad effects

1. new players wouldn't truly know the danger of krills and will cause gameplay confusion
   2.if this feature is applied to all players and its used for ubering and it has immunity, its basically issue with abusing glitches to accommodate gameplay ( again this ties back to the whole home bug debate again), and it encourages players to fully afk during cr and not help others. That's just my opinion tho

[carmine thorn]

#beta-discussion message and #beta-known-issues says some people won't see the button, so some criteria must be met (like moth/shep system, but probably more complex for TS and such for players who don't know where those are either.) Edit: didn't mean to ping.

[orchid yacht]

time to get an uber to the faint spirit

[ornate badge]

um i’m having this issue where i try to update the beta but testflight says that the app “is not available or does not exist”
what am i supposed to do at this point?

[steady pond]

granting krill immunity to players is just stripping the sole purpose of krills existence... would yall really want that??? be so cruel as to give the krills no purpose..?!?? 🥲

[celest zodiac]

crying in crab call

[spark lance]

Haha this is so funny u can make people help u and take them to other realms

[sterile plinth]

As always, feel free to submit bug reports and your constructive and respectfully written feedback to the devs that will help them understand what exactly looks off and how it can be improved based on your experience

[cosmic orchid]

beta players reading faqs: ok MOTD can't be trusted
MOTD: changes schedule
beta players: surprised Pikachu face

[bright portal]

ikr, these poor krills just wanted to give hugs and y'all just rejecting them

[vivid shore]

little do we know the devs also secretly downloaded the new season on this build 👀
My wishful thinking at its finest

[timid bough]

it still needs some protection for moths getting trolled on

[orchid yacht]

it does say 4 days

[steady pond]

i mean the entrance to the new season is already in beta... its a matter of time before they choose to open it for the rest of us

[celest zodiac]

does anyone know what's name of new season?

[austere merlin]

4 days is still very early, huh

[covert hemlock]

I immediately realise that they want to help new moths to understand what is going on while exploring new areas for them as well. Secondly, I agree with the fact that people using this system for uber when they have already finished collecting the spirits is a misuse

[gilded parrot]

A "moth" is a new player. They have brown wings, they flap around uncontrollably, and they are drawn to flame!

[cosmic orchid]

everybody gansta till Krills do the "This player needs help collecting . Will you guide them"

[modern pebble]

Can you chat with the person who offers you help?

[spark lance]

@faint pier is it still 3 hours? lmao

[dry quail]

I just updated and my MOTD says 3 hours still

[ornate badge]

any ideas?

[opaque yew]

It’s gonna be a looooooooong 3 hourssss

[faint pier]

Yeb

[rain delta]

Hmmmm this new feature is a bit weird, I kept clicking it and it keeps asking me if I want to guide myself....

[static saffron]

Shouldn't reset be in like 4 hours? It's almost 12 am for me rn, and reset is at 3 am

Same as in live too

[sand hill]

Have you switched to another Apple ID?

[scarlet wraith]

3 hrs 22 mins

[steady pond]

TGC removed the ability to follow strangers last year because of griefing so i dont know how handholding enabled for strangers wouldnt also have its own dire consequences lol

[ornate badge]

oh does that affect it?

[celest zodiac]

they said don't trust MOTD

[covert hemlock]

sneep

[gilded parrot]

A quick advice from wise ol' Skybot: remember to take a break every once a while and take care of yourselves please, fellow Sky kids

[bright portal]

i would suggest that the button should be available only for players who have not collected all of their game base spirits

[olive wolf]

What's wrong with veterans getting some help from strangers? Think of it as carpooling/hitchhiking to the same location maybe? I'm just hitching a ride from a passing player thru all the realms to get wax. I could even play some music for them along the way?

[sand hill]

Yep it does, u have to stay on the one that has been invited to beta.

[rain delta]

Lye, I think the way it works is, you need to send a request to other players and my guess is other players acccept that request and only when they accept it will they be able to help them

[fluid quail]

but u get to choose who hold u, unlike the following button

[static saffron]

I didn't say that, I was talking about regular reset.

[desert dirge]

i only looked in the motd once and i find the date is like few days and rhen the season beginning is so wrong lol

like we're literally im thw future haha

[steady pond]

yeah, but its still pretty open to griefing if people intentionally accept it just to troll hmmm i guess we'll see how it pans out

[orchid yacht]

Season of the Tamed Fox most likely

[left dragon]

i wonder if the season will start for me if i dont update

[bright portal]

wait actually , is the button only available for players who have not collected all the realm spirits? i have the button but i havent collected all spirit in beta

if im wrong, maybe they should include that ^

[covert hemlock]

we aren't trying to save fuel here, this is a game
Of course there are qr methods to do that, why does #beta-looking-for-group or #looking-for-group-live exist?

[sand hill]

That’s why this feature is on beta, we need to see how it goes

[rain delta]

Hmm the motd says 3 hours again after I closed the app and restarted it

[sleek pelican]

3 hours+ also shown as 3 hours iirc

[steady pond]

thats probably how its supposed to work, because right now there are some players with all the spirits that can still request help hahah

[rain delta]

So, for the new feature do I just sit in prairie and honk at people until they send me a request?

[static saffron]

I'm losing my track of time and timezones

[cosmic orchid]

like 3 hours and _ minutes left, that sorta thing, yeah

[spark lance]

The MOTD kinda surprised us and scared us at the same time even we know that it is wrong

[covert hemlock]

For testing purposes, afterwards the button poof

[rain delta]

Okay guys, the motd is broken hahahaha, every time you close your app, it will alternate between 3hours and 4 days

[trail gorge]

No worries! Thank you for sharing your perspective. I hadn't thought about those effects and those are very good things to think about ^^

[fluid quail]

i have all and i got the button, tho maybe the button is for 2 parties

1 whom qualified to lead/help moths
2 moths

[spark lance]

If it start in 3 hours then

Season_intro_11_11

[jolly bear]

Does anyone in Android got the update now

[spark lance]

Has the season be postponed to another day?

[orchid yacht]

pin spells in the boat yet?

[bright portal]

is it? but the button states it's to request help but anyone can accept it so I'd think it's more suitable to only enable the button for those who haven't gotten all the spirits i think

[radiant drum]

The season in beta never has a date to begin with. It just happens when it happens, regardless of the Message of the Day counter

[rain delta]

I’m curious, does this mean if I close my app once, I’ll get floor is lava, if I open it again and motd changes to 4 days my floor will be un-lava-Ed

[olive wolf]

It's not that I don't have friends who can candle run with me or that I can't get help from the channels here. I just don't see the harm in it. One player is a bit tired from cr-ing all the time, the other player willingly accepts to guide that player. Is it really all that different from the channel looking-for-group-live?

[left dragon]

floor is lava

[cosmic orchid]

season was never confirmed when to start anyway, MOTD can't be trusted

[raven gate]

What do you mean by griefing?

[spark lance]

We know that lmao, but the fact is it scare and surprise us at the same time

[static saffron]

Steal a crab every time someone mentions something about the season, such as the name, date, etc

[carmine thorn]

But if you know not to trust the MOTD and in game timers, how would it scare or surprise you?

[spark lance]

Let's imagine you are in Valley race

[orchid yacht]

you used to be able to follow strangers? 🥺 why do people have to ruin this stuff

[steady pond]

basically causing grief to players on purpose; aka griefing
following people when they dont want to be followed counts as griefing

[spark lance]

Also in Valley's race, it called cheating

[cosmic orchid]

looks back to when tables have full collision and people block entrances with them

[orchid yacht]

there's no winning in the race
if there's a way to do it faster I would gladly help people do it

[steady pond]

theres no competition in valley races so i dont think its necessarily "cheating" in a race
but it can be annoying to deal with

[bright portal]

i think the guide system is more lenient then the follow any players tho, because there is the ability to accept and reject. You can also cancel the guide anytime

[cosmic orchid]

what? I don't understand

[raven gate]

Okay. I was thinking about Minecraft griefing, where people destory structures that don't belong to them. Upsetting that fun ways to play are taken away because some people don't know how to behave

[sterile plinth]

The most important thing currently is that you can disable the search for guide by pressing the same button at the top of your expression menu (currently looks like a block button).

[steady pond]

same thing, its all about doing things that ruin other peoples experiences for the sake of it

[olive wolf]

Things are getting heated in the sky fandom y'all.

[wary stream]

Heyyyyy double checking, the inbox saying that the message is unavailable is a bug right? So go ahead and report it?

[sterile plinth]

So you can't really grief anyone because of that, lye.

[fluid quail]

oh i see ur point, what I said literally includes everyone I was just stating
but ye the button is useless for whom has all spirits alrdy.
I probably have it only for testing purposes, yk there might not be enough moths in beta to test this.

[bright portal]

no no no , we are doing what we called a civilized debate

[cosmic orchid]

it's a known issue so I don't think it's necessary

[raven gate]

I kinda like this. It's better than having moths come and friend me, take up a spot in my constellation, and then never play again

[steady pond]

i see thats good to know!

[sleek pelican]

Make sure u updated to the latest build to see the message properly

[steady briar]

what ismotd?

[covert hemlock]

The thing is that experience takes away from the social experience of Sky. In this context, the button is used to give new players a first hand experience of what having friendships allows you to do while exploring new areas. Plus I think in my opinion that serious players can time manage better. Sorry for late reply

[sterile plinth]

Nothing is getting heated.

[bright portal]

i see, that makes more sense if its only enabled for all for testing purposes

[cosmic orchid]

so many moths, never to come back again

[wary stream]

Ohhhh you’re right I forgot I needed to do that manually sometimes FJDBDJDNSKNFJF my bad my bad, sorry-

[raven gate]

I mark them with a brown heart in my constellation for this very reason

[sterile plinth]

Message of the day, basically the splash screen you see when opening the game with a certain message (e.g. TS is leaving soon etc.)

[bright portal]

overall i love the concept of the new guide system and looking forward for future improvements

[wheat panther]

Agree! That is how I got to 450 friends in Live

[orchid yacht]

it's better than not knowing what in the world they want too

[raven gate]

Right. They friend then honk and point at nothing

[bright portal]

also rip shepherd system

[orchid yacht]

it's obviously the squiggle on the wall!!1

[covert hemlock]

F in the chat

[sly cairn]

Me, with my android phone, sobbing after seeing an hour pass: l e t. M e. I n

[orchid yacht]

Shepherd system 2.0

[spark lance]

This is so fun

[spice sorrel]

I thought the shepherd feature was going to have a role in this new guide thing but it’s not there anymore ?

[orchid yacht]

you just don't see if you're a shepherd anymore or how close you are to being one

[steady briar]

oh!! okay thank you :))

[celest zodiac]

yess😭 there's no update button yet

[sterile plinth]

npnp pearl!

[slim kayak]

Sometimes Google sleeps in. Hopefully the 12 hour wait we had last time doesn't happen again

[bright portal]

patience my fellow android testers as the prophecy teaches us

[proud coral]

Being a shepherd seems to have nothing to do with it, I helped a moth on a different moth account

[austere merlin]

I was just lead my an orange mothe, was that any of you?

[carmine thorn]

New players and shepherds can ask or receive help, maybe.

[covert hemlock]

It will take time to settle in

[quartz snow]

How to count friends?

[spark lance]

[slim kayak]

I do actually hope this feature won't just be for moths. Sometimes players might need extra help finding a ts or a seasonal spirit. This feature would be great for that

[sudden flower]

Motd changes to the correct date but now it says the season starts in 4 days instead

[wheat panther]

I blocked everyone except my favorites and then went to the block list and counted. the block list has the players in sets of 8 so that made it easier to count

[olive wolf]

Nah, u have nothing to be sorry for. I agree, using this feature for cr ubers does have the potential to take away from social experiences such as making friends. U got me there

[proud coral]

Ideally it will be available for activation if you are in an area with a hidden emote (like a grayed out emote), that way even long time players can find something if they're missing it! (Like a TS or new seasonal spirit)

[spark lance]

I hope is for everyone its fun being carried everywhere

[orchid yacht]

goes to wasteland to ask for help with faint

[bright portal]

i think this is a great idea

[lunar jacinth]

What is the new system ? (I just woke up)

[orchid yacht]

I'm going to disable autoupdate so I can see the motd go negative

[chrome ivy]

Is the new update fix the MOTD?

[sly cairn]

QwQ I'm being WAAAY too impatient for this update QAQ

[carmine thorn]

Hopefully the button also enables/changes so we can get/give assistance with Winged Lights also.

[radiant drum]

What is there to fix about the MOTD?

[olive wolf]

Ok guys I have idea, what if this shepherd feature could allow the player to specify a type of help they need? For example the possible types could be: spirits, winged lights, "finding the light"(help finding where to go to continue their journey?), wax, quest, all of the above, etc. I think this new feature has the potential to be useful for everyone

[orchid yacht]

it says 2 hours instead of 4 days if you haven't updated
or in some cases if you have

[bright portal]

sounds good

[sterile plinth]

@sly cairn Your comment regarding Android players has been removed. Please remember to stay respectful towards other members in the server, thank you

[orchid yacht]

anyway I can't think straight anymore good night

[radiant drum]

It's beta, and #beta-faq mentions the MOTD is not really reliable or correct. So not really a bug/mistake they would fix, just one of those things that happen probably

[sudden flower]

Before it said it was may 12

[tawdry pine]

Does Android have the update? Just making sure since I can't find any on the PlayStore
Why the salt..? I'm just asking, just now I woke up from a nap..

[bright portal]

i like this guiding system, it's really useful for players who aren't in Sky community platforms to find friends or ubers

[spark lance]

It's always late for android

[vivid shore]

🔹 Message of the Day (MOTD) is often wrong
🔹 Countdown timers are often wrong
#beta-faq

[sterile plinth]

Based on my understanding and some testing I've done in the last hour or so, it can technically be used by everyone, but we shall see in the future, I suppose

[tropic radish]

I see something new in screenshots
Android player here
Cause y'know, google

[carmine thorn]

It's because it's beta. MOTD has no priority, so it can show random dates, messages or timers.

[radiant drum]

Either no one likes me or they can't see the guide button when I request help

[chrome ivy]

I think TGC make the feature for some people only to prevent abuse

[tawdry pine]

Why the salt reactions I was just asking

[radiant drum]

Because we hate google in this chat

[spark lance]

Ehehe i make veteran hold my hand and give them orange hats

wait theres a new season coming?

[cosmic orchid]

oh, it was an inside joke about Android getting an exclusive pack, its the salt pack

[spark lance]

Someone better go to Google to beg for the update!

[covert hemlock]

Nuuuuuuuuuu

[chrome ivy]

Google Developer who disgusted as a Sky player: You wot?

[north patrol]

Is the new season actually beginning in 2 hours? :0

[tropic radish]

The salt meme is low-key getting old. But I still chuckle at it

[spark lance]

This is so cute someone in prarie taking all the moths need help for candles

[tawdry pine]

I know about that but.. I don't understand how my question would get it :(

[chrome ivy]

A kitchen set. Including salt prop

[cosmic orchid]

android is not getting mistreated in any way, its google's problem why the update are slow

[spark lance]

wait do we know what the next season is orrrr

[static saffron]

Can someone pin the motd almost always being wrong? Not sure if it already is, but it'll be extremely useful

[spark lance]

now we can collect moths

[spark lance]

We all don't know when will the season begin just wait until it is ready to be hold

[chrome ivy]

Slow Boi

@sly cairn Your previous comments are just disrespectful based on their nature and the comparison you use in them, feel free to DM me if you have more questions regarding this!

[covert hemlock]

Google gotta go fast like Sanic

[radiant drum]

Please note that this chat moves fast and it's about testing discussion, not testing Q&A. Players are excited about a new feature and a possible upcoming game-breaking counter and questions will get buried sometimes

[spark lance]

Are we gonna be stuck in the 1 day build again?

[north patrol]

For sure! Thank you ^^

[static saffron]

Oh it is pinned lmao mb

[bright portal]

there's too many types of devices on Android , hence that's why updates roll out slower. I think there's no reason to insult and bash google for so

[carmine thorn]

speed read when chat goes nyoom.

[fathom river]

okay. anyone got the android update?

[lucid star]

Beta chat is impossible to read and understand at any pace

[tawdry pine]

Have you seen Gen chat

[chrome ivy]

30 second for me is already normal

[left dragon]

beta chat: existing rn
gen chat: finally a worthy opponent

[static saffron]

Have you not seen gen chat on every other tuesday/wednesday

[cosmic orchid]

chat faster than google update /jk

[chrome ivy]

Gen chat is 16 and beta is 30 second

[sudden flower]

Yeah I know, just responding for mirian since I think she was asking what thatscoutkid was referring to

[bright portal]

inb4 beta invites happen and chat goes to 1 hour cooldown

[radiant drum]

Testing chaos is good chaos! We're all excited and mods won't be stopping people from having harmless fun. It might be better to come back tomorrow or later when people are filling bug reports and generally more calmer if right now the pace is too quick

[spark lance]

Given the chaos Gen chat is always in

General chat while. Ts release is chaos

[tropic radish]

/Personally, I think it really is just google and android in general though
Since back when a build update happened ( from 0.12.x to 0.13.x ), android got it way sooner than IOS
Android is just wack

[spark lance]

i love this thing is so fun i dont have to ask friends for cr i can just ask randoms and give them hats

[vivid shore]

It's mentioned in #beta-faq that MOTD's are not to be relied upon, and that goes the same with countdowns.

MOTD in live is working fine. I believe the issue is a beta only bug, hence, does not require fixing.

[static saffron]

Yeah I just noticed it's already pinned

[spark lance]

If this new season brings lots of bugs, the Beta bugs report channels are gonna be in trouble

And its like now u can help uber people in sky which will be fun when bored

[south oyster]

Tbh even if the motd is correct it would probably be too broken to play for awhile anyways, as seasons in beta usually are

[low sleet]

Feedback New guider system

• guider don't know which spirit the requester search for

• the help button wrongly appear on requester screen which will confuse moth. When requester click help button, this msg appear
  "this player needs help collecting spirits. Will you guide them?"
  After click yes " use your call to find spirits this player needs"
  That button on requester screen should tell them to keep honkhonk till someone notice them

• at the end they need to find bench or table to working together which that is basic thing even without this system.

• basically this system just allow us to help moth/player without friending them.

[static saffron]

Omw to experience season_intro_1_11

[radiant drum]

It's pinned more as a reference than anything else, so we can easily point people to when needed. It will not halt the questions or the chaos, and that's okay too!

[rain knoll]

Why is Android taking for ever to get the update

[radiant drum]

Because Google does that

[opaque yew]

What if the beta bug channel is a big bird that feed on bugs? And it’s always hungry!

[spark lance]

Cries in possibility of 1 day build again

[chrome ivy]

Actually, when you guide a moth they each other have temp access to chat each other. This is more suit for people who don't have chair unlocked like me

[tawdry pine]

Google be like that ((insert the cmon do something meme))

[covert hemlock]

Mirissembly has become Google's Krill

[cosmic orchid]

Praise Beta the true Mega Birb

[chrome ivy]

Miri is city on Sarawak fun fact

[copper bison]

google wake up

[olive wolf]

What, we can temporarily chat with the player?

[limpid crown]

Here goes google again

[chrome ivy]

No, but it will be good feature for the new guide system. I didn't even test the new bulid

[spark lance]

Here we go again

[sleek pelican]

Nobody will buy chair if it's like this

[carmine thorn]

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the little things. The button art is so cute and perfectly fits it's purpose.

[dreamy bear]

Somehow i don't see any update on my playstore 👀

[lilac forge]

few more hours to go, boissss

[steady pond]

few hours to go before what

[covert hemlock]

Plays:- GTA San Andreas Music

[cosmic orchid]

Google takes a while to process the update, don't worry

[random gull]

@spark lance to answer your question in #beta-screenshots-videos Samsung galaxy note 10. i actually haven't updated beta cuz Google is slow but i can still see others calling for help. i used my phones native screen recorder because i hate the built in one and video quality is pretty garbage from compressing it enough to upload to discord.

[lilac forge]

and we can find out the true behind THE WALL

[radiant drum]

a few hours to:

season?
lava
nothing!

[olive wolf]

Oh I misunderstood, my bad. Still, I think temp chat for this feature is a bad idea. Players would abuse that and chat with anyone they'd like to talk with, by requesting for help. It'd make the chat table obsolete

[static saffron]

Lava

WAIT DIDN'T MEAN TO PING SORRY-

[remote peak]

#beta-known-issues message what does Ktjn mean
does anyone have a screenshot?

[spark lance]

Should I play Parousia rn? I'm gonna go eat some lunch and take a shower while waiting for the update.

[covert hemlock]

Sure
