beta-discussion

[vast barn]

u have no idea 😭 some people were calling me names on a comment section for telling them that sky is not about flexing emotes on newbies

[tawny pecan]

In live version, I collected almost every spirit as they came out since gratitude, except for one and it hasn’t come back in ts so I’m really glad to see this change so I can finally get it
I haven’t seen anyone complaining about new players being able to access it but in the news article they said “some players might be upset” since there was a similar outrage when ts first started happening

[stuck urchin]

I feel like they should be giving everyone the same sky experience & SHOULD be a priority right now. The fact that they’re just brushing android users under the rug is very concerning and sad.

[iron nacelle]

Beta stuff is all free?

[iron anchor]

I know we are in beta, but they can't manage it well, they keep adding those new things all at once (anniv, next season, rainbow), all what i meant is they should be fixing other important stuff first, and don't be hurry on something

[somber meadow]

I explained my reasoning above! I have to admit, I’ve only watched the movie and it’s been a while since I watched it last lol. I think they represent both the planets he went to and the sky realms

Lmao this was supposed to be a reply to someone

[lament belfry]

me too, if it comes to live i can finally get my beloved crab call

[hardy silo]

Ok but y'all should really maintain this topic of unnecessary IAP until tgc arrives back from vacation. This will impact their company image a lot if this arrives to live

Also @spark lance I'm sorry for misinterpreting the veteran topic! Of course not all veterans are bad, I salute most of them for still saying in Sky for almost 2 years with immense dedication. I'm only talking about those who "want to keep the game to themselves" kinda veterans.

[empty river]

changing the location of cosmetics in beta doesnt have any effect if you own them already i believe, they've done them plenty of times before. And juuust in case you arent aware, iaps are free in beta!

[rose narwhal]

But what’s with all these events happening so quickly and around the same time

[primal pagoda]

oops, okay then. I don’t watch youtube for spoilers because...I play beta obviously

[gray tangle]

👁

[spark lance]

I've found the right question.
why did TGC make something that they can't afford? if they could afford it, there would be no IAP seasonal cosmetics. if I'm correct, they have to pay the copyright expenses.

[edgy canopy]

Tgc really is putting so much effort into releasing new content… honestly they should give themselves a well deserved break…

[tropic estuary]

They should also work on equality in all aspects across all platforms.

[carmine marsh]

Apparently they don't have to pay for little prince rights, it's public domain

[sick pendant]

Season of the little prince be like

"ugh...adults....odd"

[viscid axle]

its not public domain everywhere afaik, not in the us at least which is where tgc is based

[lavish trellis]

this way of making the season is totally unfair to us, players.

[blazing sail]

I don’t think anyone is upset at the artists and designers?

[blissful harbor]

omg its appunwrapper...............

[ionic isle]

most people here are criticizing the paywall not the season itself

[dreamy stone]

correction, Season of the rose*

[tropic radish]

/I agree. While I doubt the whole "android get salt pack lol" as they've came to explain and address the issue,
But in a general standpoint, TGC's plans don't feel clean and they have to be called out for that :")

I'd doubt they'd prioritise the headphone feature, since it doesn't affect gameplay. But I do have hopes it can be implemented on android devices one day. It's not impossible.

The Devs are chasing deadlines, everything feels unfinished and messy, just a wreck.
And yeah, they really need to put their priorities straight
( And the Devs should really get some better timing. This one was pretty unfortunate )

[dreamy inlet]

I mean we're not bashing individual devs. we aren't saying "ktjn is so greedy" (example) we are talking about the company as a whole.

[dry quail]

yes but earlier i saw lots of people being unnecessarily rude about how the cosmetics look

[molten yoke]

We are criticizing the company as a whole and especially people who take care of the economic aspects. No one is bashing the art developers or coder at all so I dont know where you got that.

[stuck urchin]

Nobody here has said that. And nobody is targeting any staff members. We are allowed to criticize their wild prices and broken game mechanics.

[hazy zephyr]

Another correction,

Season of $50 IAP

[primal quartz]

Update: my phone is working again

[rose narwhal]

We do have to give a applause for the artist and sound directors because the whole season area is beautiful

[azure spruce]

Season of patience
Season of bugs
Season of ikea

Behold: season of iaps

(Still love sky anyway)

[misty star]

Another correction,

Season of $50 IAP + $10 AP

[tired wolf]

nope. i've been watching this discussion for 3 hours actually eating popcorn.

the "rich" are just upset about the UG coming back. but one of the mods said that tgc confirmed it will never be bought with in-game currency.

i've only seen 2 people so far saying "it's just cosmetics". don't make assumptions. i can afford these IAPs but i am also upset about how overpriced they are as i also think about my friends and people in other countries that can't afford it.

no one is against the previous spirits coming back. i can guarantee you, we're fine with them coming back.

don't do us like that

[blissful sinew]

Did the devs really make a reference to alcoholism with the sigh spirit’s cutscene and his tirade about drinking the dark water? That’s pretty deep for a game like this, though I admire TGC’s willingness to add something like that regardless - alcoholism is a pretty big issue among adults that’s not frequently talked about due to the stigma that surrounds it, and it’s interesting to see such a serious issue gain some awareness, even if it’s in a contrastingly cute and calming game like this.

[carmine dove]

looking at the lore of Sky COTL

[crude turret]

But I can't joke about how I drink fuzzy kronchy wasteland water anymore or else the mods might probably warn me

[deep tusk]

WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IS INVISIBLE TO THE EYE 💛

[hasty dew]

i pOlitely request dismiss locatiom

[barren sage]

Id like to give some positivity! You all are amazing in your own ways 💖💖

[lavish trellis]

friend the question is not to sell, and to have an exactly simple pass just to profit from paid items, the season is the little prince or the rose or the pay and have?

[woeful harbor]

Sorry, I phrased that all really poorly. I tend to overexplain things to the point that the final message loses the point of what I'm trying to say.
Nobody's been criticizing the individuals, yeah. What I meant was that a couple people have just been bashing features for the pure reason of being upset at the company instead of the reasoning that the features actually had issues.
Yeah, sorry again for that. I should've just removed the entire first two paragraphs.

[blazing sail]

We’re not but I do need to point out that Ktjn has her own “rubbing hands together” emote. Makes you think. 😛

God this 5-min cooldown makes it really hard to have a conversation.

[sick pendant]

So far we have found only 2 WL correct?

[hardy silo]

No cuz the season itself is most likely one of their best works ever. The storyline, the cosmetic designs, the new locations. So far there are very few complaints regarding these stuff aside from some minor bugs. Right now the issue is about the unexpected IAP exclusive items tgc made for a season. All we need is for them to change this and they are ready to wrap up their game again, no more capitalism

[fervent hatch]

You can't spell thatgamecompany without EA

[ionic isle]

i’m talking elitism i’ve experienced in game, sorry for the confusion.

[dreamy stone]

and here I go again

+TAXES MAN, + TAXEEESSSS. 👁👁

[mental ridge]

It’s in the first krill area in Wasteland, left side, you should notice it when you get there ^^

[pliant furnace]

Let's overthrow the governmet to get rid of taxes

[tropic radish]

/The "it's just cosmetics" argument is one thing, if the main focused cosmetics aren't so ridiculously expensive-

I'd like to admit, I've used that argument here and there. But In this case, this argument really just isn't sitting with me

We need balance between free and paid content !

This whole season is a future reality check for me and its low-key scaring me www

[hazy zephyr]

I thought I was the only one who noticed, I feel like most of the spirits are representing mental issues (???) like the stadium preformer and like you said the Shameful drinker, and the fact that there are chains on their waists makes it even more creepier
I expected this season to be kid friendly :pCry: :pCry: :pCry:

[calm tundra]

Any updates or announcements from TGC regrding IAP issues?

[scenic grove]

having black and gray capes makes sense imo. all of the spirits are adults, and in the lp movie all of the adults are gloomy and dull. the capes capture that. i'm really glad we got dark capes this season.

[rose narwhal]

During that spirt, it felt really weird and a bit uncomfortable seeing the kid watching the spirt drink and saying how ashamed it felt. It feels really out of place in sky but it goes along with the story and gives awareness

[nimble orbit]

The funny part about the IAP is that it may be 50$ but in some places taxes makes it higher. It’s 10 extra dollars where I live so really I’m paying more + the extra pass which is going to be around 5 more dollars. That’s literally almost 80$ #wth.

[acoustic dust]

Bruh sick burn xD

[opaque yew]

It follows the story of little Prince and it’s a children’s book

[glass shoal]

exactly! this is a game for kids. most of them don't have jobs. it seems really cheap to keep the little prince's outfit behind a paywall. it totally diminishes the message the little prince and sky are trying to send

[dreamy inlet]

with the dark theme an eden extension would be pretty neat though

[stuck urchin]

Anyway we are allowed to “whine” and complain when a game we were told to test isn’t even playable. Nobody has targeted staff. We are here to tell them our issues and this is us doing it.

IAP is getting out of hand. Too many and too expensive.

They keep pushing out new, unpolished content instead of fixing what they already have. They need to stop and listen to all of their fans telling them to slow down instead of tripping over themselves to make new stuff every other week. I’m sure all of us Would love a time Where there are no events and no seasons happening where we can save up candles and relax

i’m gonna go play video games that are not sky because it is getting too stressful have a nice day everybody

Edit: TGC should have waited until the holiday was over before dropping this huge update on everyone and to respond to their criticisms and issues . the fact that they just dropped this huge update and left to come back to it I think is very unprofessional.

[empty river]

its a holiday in the US right now, no updates until Tuesday at the very least

[misty star]

Yes I agree this season is honestly incredible, they’ve really outdone themselves. The area and cosmetics do the story justice, it’s just the paywall that people are taken aback by.

[iron anchor]

I do my own feedback on the feedback channel, u donno if someone made their feedback or not bc the testing discussion is like one of the place they are able to ranting about, as a player myself i would be more enjoyed if the games doesn't have many bugs, and i am talking about the live ver now. They damp those update even though we still have tons of bugs behind.

[abstract nacelle]

what if tgc is just playing part with the little prince season, cus... its all make sense

[cold valley]

They have a lock around their waist, which I think means they are bound by something, like an adult, like the lamplighter, who is bound by rules, right

[deep tusk]

Then u didn't get it 💛

[lilac oriole]

Gotta love how tgc just dropped this bomb and: 🏃 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

[woeful harbor]

The "It's just cosmetics" argument can be used by both sides since it supports both points. You can say "it's just cosmetics" to say that they're not necessary and therefore aren't something that the company's forcing onto us, but you can also say "it's just cosmetics" to reason that the prices are too expensive. Either way that point isn't worth anything for either argument. Might as well abandon it.

[static saffron]

Ok but

||Grow up, but never forget.||

[spark lance]

Finally i have crab call even in beta

[azure spruce]

Suddenly feels like buying one of the iaps (if one is incapable of getting everything) is more worth than ad pass

[dreamy stone]

TGC giving cute IAP for wealthy people
We who can barely pay for season passes: What about us?
TGC: a gray cape with holes and a badly cut hairstyle
Ppl: 🧎k.

[ionic isle]

it’s very…. interesting that tgc chose to release all these iaps that they knew would’ve been controversial right before they took a break. maybe theyve planned for the controversy to cool before making another announcement? i can’t say i blame them considering the drama in this channel but it still feels kind of… shrewd?

[copper fractal]

i really dont like it when people use these terms to express "inequality" for something like this especially when android devices has a lot more obstacles than IOS. it's been made clear multiple times how difficult it is to implement the same small mechanics for android devices compared to IOS, which is why the headphones haven't been able to be implemented. there's too many differences across the android platform that developers haven't been able to achieve. if you're speaking about the switch getting more development than mobile devices right now keep in mind that nintendo is very picky with allowing constant updates for switch patches and have to make sure that the release doesn't have game breaking bugs. i understand that some are upset because it seems that there are favoritism but that is really not the case and it makes me even more upset when people throw in phrases like "equality for all" and "second class citizens." leave constructive feedback but please express your feelings without using those terms.
these terms are used for real world issues. seeing them being brought up here like it's the new state of oppression makes me extremely uncomfortable.**

[reef furnace]

I disagree with “kid friendly” being just positive, happy and light stuff. Kids who are old enough to play this game can understand and should be gently exposed to slightly darker themes. It’s good for their development to gently process these themes imo

[rose narwhal]

Tgc questioning rather or not to return back to work after seeing this huge fire

[calm tundra]

ahhh, I see. Thanks!

[glass shoal]

i really want the sword outfit but it doesnt come with the scarf i feel like the scarf should be a separate item

[scenic grove]

Yeaa.. Why did they drop a new season in beta and just immediately dip?? Why not wait until they came back to drop the new season so they could immediately receive feedback and work on fixing bugs? Would that not make more sense?

[fervent hatch]

What will happen if I tagged Ktjn?

[tawny pecan]

I’ve been playing sky for a long time (a little after global release) and I have noticed that with especially adventure and now this season that a lot of the more favoured outfit items (short/masc hair, capes, pants) are locked behind the ap; the typically popular cosmetics you almost always have to pay for now. I always buy ap regardless but I was a bit upset on behalf of my friends who can’t buy it.
I don’t usually buy iap cuz I don’t have that much money, and I have been a bit bummed out seeing how much iap stuff has been released lately. I always loved sky because while there was always paid content, you could still get really cool cosmetics for free, but now I’m finding it hard to still see the game like this.

[marble sigil]

Ah also, it's better to buy an IAP than an adpass, because I don't think it's worth it if the ultimate gift is just rose and hair.For me, a rose is just like a pinwheel

[tropic radish]

One hand, TGC are making bad decisions
And on the other hand, TGC seems to be RUSHING them.
Then to people that arent familiar with how beta works, this will look like an big scummy move by TGC. Meanwhile it could be just bad timing on their end.
But what do I know ?

As a long beta tester, this is already discomforting enough to look at, knowing the bugs and glitches. They really should come back armed ( with explanations and clarity ) or else we're gonna set this chat on fire till there's nothing left

Here's the them
And absolutely bad timing www ó_ò

[misty star]

Don’t think they would get a notification anyway because their status is ‘do not disturb’ but you shouldn’t tag developers or mods etc, leave feedback or request help in the appropriate channels

[hybrid wedge]

Don't ping staff to give feedback. That's what the feedback channels are for 👍

[deep tusk]

Just rose? JUST ROSE?? go read the lil prince (and if u read it then do it again XD) They'll change that for sure or add more ults

[kindred perch]

i noticed that too.. cosmetics that are generally in more high demand are locked behind a pay wall, i think it would be best for tgc to stray away from this and somehow make some sort of balanced system that allows for high demand items to be earn-able in game without the use of real life currency

[primal pagoda]

how do yall reacted with emote right after 2 seconds the essay is posted I haven’t even finished reading the first line LOL

[bronze nebula]

For all us non-beta people: what’s happening 👁

or more specifically what are the prices of the new cosmetics haha

[foggy atlas]

Let’s not mix kid friendly with toxic positivity
Emotions are normal and being sad/down is a part of that
Kids should be encouraged to learn more about their emotions and why they feel that way… not everything is rainbows and sunshine and the more you teach a kid this the more they will be scared of their own emotions when feeling a different way

[spark lance]

And we have juggler emote without the pants Gezz 5 min cooldown

[azure spruce]

I'm guessing copyright is very expensive that paying through ad pass isn't enough Maybe.. just maybe

[cold valley]

What kind of price I am without money?

[ionic isle]

yes exactly plz stop using terms for real world issues to describe a situation happening in a mobile game. the fact you can even play sky is privilege. while the concerns about this iap are valid this isn’t nearly as important as the REAL WORLD CLASS DIVIDE, god. everyone stop using irl activist terminology for video game drama. anyway good post quetzal

[spark lance]

The whole season together is 60 dollars. Absolutely beyond absurd.

[lilac oriole]

The crying spirit from forest is kinda dark aswell soooooo

[harsh stratus]

Fox backpack is 10
Sword suit/pants are 15
Little prince pack (pants and scarf) are 25

[white root]

Yes. They must let us use the sword to poke krills and get cosmetic loots.

[spark lance]

lmao im glad im not the only one up at 3 am

[rancid skiff]

Hey uuhhh
What do you guys think is the reason for the adenture pack being so expensive? I'm am shook

[spark lance]

why are there so many IAPs this season? It’s not like le petit prince is an event, it’s a whole season and TGC is already getting a lot of money from all the passes that people buy each season. It’s also assumed that they are getting so much money because during the charity events, they raise hundreds of thousands of dollars so that would mean that lots of people are buying the IAPs that they release. Plus, they have another event coming up, The Days of Rainbow, in which they will accumulate even MORE money. So i really don’t understand why we have to pay for season-related cosmetics when we never had to do this before? I don’t understand why they can’t just implement the season-related IAPs INTO the season of le petit prince.

Like, you pay for the season pass and then there are still more items to get but only if you pay MORE?????? What the heck are f2p players supposed to get from the season…

Another thing, Sky is a global game and when they make their IAPs expensive, it’s even more costly for countries whose currency’s value is lower than the USD. :/

[dreamy stone]

TGC: SOMEONE SAID MONEY? * sniff *

I do an edit because the cooldown is overwhelming: I understand that TGC must pay its employees and the costs of the collab but at least they have to think about the satisfaction of its players

[opaque yew]

And young and kids spirits from season of belonging

[swift marsh]

It’s it me or the guy that talks to the birds is mental ?? I mean who commands birds ??

[iron anchor]

And taxes are like 20% from the price on my country (with 3 party too)

[marble sigil]

This channel keeps heating up every day until ktjn and other developers notice this chaos

[woeful harbor]

I think the fact that this is a "special" season probably led to it becoming a season/event hybrid in order to make it feel more different since otherwise it's basically just a season crossover and for some reason it needs to be more special than that

[snow jetty]

this probably wont be seen but the spirits are most likely based on the adults the prince meets in the book, they are chained down by the rules of society and adulthood so thats why they seem so "dark"

[lavish trellis]

Really

[zealous dew]

apologetic lumberjack

[misty star]

Well it just shows how the community is against this IAP chaos. As long as we stay respectful and kind, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be heard

[cerulean rivet]

wHAT THEY ADDED A SNEEZING EMOTE ITS ADORABLE WAT DAH HECK

[balmy spoke]

What is the premium candle shop?

[glass shoal]

no better demonstration of that than hiding the childish little prince items behind a paywall, or society and adulthood

[calm tundra]

I had the same thought, but then TGC should try to earn profit from a different separate event (like Days of Rainbow/blossom), not making IAP.

[bold tapir]

Special=IAP?

[copper fractal]

i completely agree! if you haven't already please don't hesitate to bring these thoughts to #beta-feedback
and that goes for the rest of you, feedback helps a lot!

[reef axle]

no they shouldnt be profitting off of days of rainbow, that should go to charity, companies should not be profiting off pride in general

[reef furnace]

Question. If season pass was a bit more expensive but included all the IAPs would you be more likely to buy it? Maybe $10 for it as is, and like $15-20 for everything? Just curious

[foggy atlas]

I’m starting to think this collab should’ve just been an event lol
Days of the little prince or sum

[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

[bronze nebula]

so just to clarify:
there’s a normal adventure pass for the normal price ->
but it doesn’t get you all of the spirits’ cosmetics? or are there are other cosmetics locked behind a different IAP paywall

[fervent hatch]

Becoming a royalty has its price to pay..

[analog belfry]

there is other cosmetics behind paywalls. the most well done and popular outfits are all IAP, for a total of $50 USD

[royal root]

that's exactly what I'm planning to do, all I want is the scarf although I'm pretty sure I won't be able to afford when they convert it to my country's currency

[harsh stratus]

What others me is on top of all the iap being added to the season they have also updated the store for real items like pins ect

[tropic estuary]

And that's without taxes

Edit: In my area, with taxes it's roughly $70

[peak mason]

swords are very espensive canon

[tawny pecan]

A good example of a balanced season (that I can remember) is rhythm, where some pants were ap, some were free. Some masks (including my beloved parrot/eagle mask) were free, and others were ap. And seasons were like this for a while, but I started to notice a shift towards locking the popular content behind ap and while it doesn’t affect me it still made me upset for those who it does affect. I noticed that almost everything I wanted in the little prince season is behind ap as well

Regarding “kid friendly”: growing up I went through a lot of hardships and being sheltered from those topics only made it worse since I thought I was alone. I think it’s important to show kids that life may be hard, because some kids do in fact have a hard life and it’s good for them to know that they’re not alone. And for kids who aren’t affected by these things, they get to learn a bit of compassion for those less fortunate.
TLDR kids are human too

[lilac oriole]

I feel Mr. Crabs energy

[opaque yew]

Now I think dev choose this date to release before holidays is because they want to gather all respond/feedback before giving us the answer or changes at one go instead of making decisions every hour? and I think they also get feedback from Twitter and IG too

[tough thunder]

.....but...the little prince dont have copyright is publick domain why so much money?

[woeful harbor]

I will say if I was reading this conversation before I tested the season I would probably be thinking that we had a $60.00 adventure pass and no free cosmetics with the fact that everyone's being so obscure about the context of this situation

[balmy spoke]

What is the premium candle shop?

[dreamy stone]

QUICK, GO UP. WE HAVE TO STOP TGC.

[calm tundra]

Not too sure if TGC ever mentioned about donating 100% earned profit from cosmetics during days of rainbow. I've heard they did donate the half of the profits they made during the Earth day, but not too sure about the Rainbow. Any sources?

[misty star]

You should put that into #beta-feedback if you haven’t already!!

[wicked harness]

Omg u guys still talking abt it? I
W8 r u guys here still talking abt the iap or

[merry forge]

Ont thing you mentioned so weird and unacceptable it the we need to lay for three Iaps and season pass at the same time. Tgc is sounding out a new to get more money by doing so, if everyone accepts it so easily, this gonna be the ‘new norm’ in the all coming seasons in the future.

[iron anchor]

I know right, besides the Little Prince is out of sky lore, and that's 3 season in a row without the sky lore related.

[mellow tide]

Honestly I don't think sky paid to collab with the little prince, I kinda think it's the other way around.

[quaint canyon]

Why not

[hybrid wedge]

@tough thunderIt is not in the public domain in at least the US and France

[humble nebula]

in app purchase accessed through the shop button

[spark lance]

Is it just me but has the message cool down timer change? I swear it was two minutes before, but now it’s five

[reef axle]

honestly i dont thinkk ill buy the ap if they dont fix the iap prices or merge them with the ap bc the cosmetics are lackluster compared to the iap. it's one or the other for me and i would rather go capeless

[crude turret]

Is it legal to sell things like those with these prices in public domain countries?

[sly kernel]

Where are my fellow broke Brazilians?

[static saffron]

My favorite cape from this season isn't ap locked, and that's the lantern guy one

[sick pendant]

I managed to find my first oob

I shall call it "season of the little prince but it's only the clouds"

[vast barn]

let’s go broke latinx gang😼✨

[tawdry pine]

Cries is pesos

[harsh stratus]

Speaking of im most likely going to skip adventure pass as well and just get the sword outfit, even though a couple of the items from the season are cute they arent worth the grinding if i can just get 1 epic one right away.

And does anyone know if the hat is ap locked? I haven't gotten to check it

[cold valley]

I like that scarf cape

[tropic estuary]

Except they already make enough money off the APs and event IAPs to cover that

[cerulean wing]

it’s still going HUh

[tough thunder]

....guys in the 2015 the little prince pass to be a publick domain it dont have animore copyright@hybrid wedge

[gentle jetty]

I'm only getting the pass for the valley elder's outfit! I'm obsessed with those two.

[swift marsh]

Broke Caribbean’s where you at ?

[placid wadi]

Saaaaaaame

[calm tundra]

I swear to God if TGC was based in Korea, they would be seeing tons of truck in front of their HQ.

[opaque yew]

So uh ..... remember there is a question in their survey “how to make Sky attract more new player?” .... I kinda suggest “do collaboration with well known brands” TGC actually listen to their players , all the new area was once suggested before like the treehouse and sword pant ( if they took my suggestion so it is my fault they get bashed for this

[merry forge]

Does tgc collab with the movie copyright or the book one

[ionic isle]

is the next season gonna have more of the same iap style???

[dense vigil]

Go capeless and valley elder hair then boom

You are now elder

[hybrid wedge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince#Extension_of_copyrights_in_France

[tired wolf]

okay well i'm leaving the channel, see yall in tuesday.

just wanna make a few final points.

don't compare ea to tgc (at least not yet). a paywall prevents us from playing the content, cosmetics don't.
just don't use the term "paywall" as it's the main reason why i still play this game because it doesn't have any.

yes the IAP are ridiculously overpriced regardless of the collab, since those cosmetics are dedicated to the season.

the little prince is still copyrighted in other countries, sky is global

the people who can afford these IAPs, aren't bashing on those who can't.

the veterans are only complaining about UG returning. but not about the travelling spirits. (personally i just hope tgc comes up with a way to make everyone happy, not a way to get more profit outta this)

any feedback is welcome here. positive or negative. just remember that you're not supposed to give feedback on someone else's opinion.

[barren sage]

Hopefully not

[ember cedar]

Is the chaos still going??

[royal root]

[crude turret]

Also the art, all of the little prince cosmetics we have are original art by antoine de saint-exupéry, so they are also public domain in most countries

[analog belfry]

[white root]

This is season of assembly 2.0

[summer garnet]

I feel bad for new switch players. Their first season is chaosss and expensive

[tawny pecan]

So from what I’ve heard, the book is public domain, but not everywhere, and maybe the specific character designs are copyright
Sky is a global game so I do wonder the legality behind this. Someone did ask if it’s legal to make countries pay for something that’s free domain, but would it be illegal to have it for free where it’s copyrighted? I can’t imagine it would be fair to only make some people pay and not others.
(No I don’t like the prices either, I’m just curious how something like this works)

[harsh stratus]

Someone needs to make a list of what is ap locked verse what isn't ap locked 😖

[reef axle]

hey does anyone know how to get the green cape? do you have to go to the shop in wasteland? i dont have it unlocked on beta yet

[rose narwhal]

Dream is also a good example of a well balance season, they had popular things such as yeti stuff behind AP but they made up for it by having other spirits having free and popular items

[odd fable]

I was wondering how to get that too..

[signal folio]

And the free stuff is drab and grey... I know TGC means well but what were they thinking?!

[sick pendant]

Can we talk about the "im depressed" emote level 3/4's music???

[fervent hatch]

Don't let this chaos distract you from the fact that the rainbow cape cost is still 175!

[rugged geyser]

What’s the testflight thing you need to download to be a beta tester?

[tropic estuary]

Wow that's absurd

[gray tangle]

didnt the days of feast table cost lesser than the rainbow cape?

[quaint canyon]

175, 5 candles is too much don't miss them

[iron anchor]

Assembly was full on very constructive feedback, and not the hates.
Kinda blame the Devs of what things happened rn

[dense vigil]

We're all gonna be broke on days of rainbow

[leaden radish]

yeah im totally skipping on days of rainbow bc its outrageously expensive😒

[swift marsh]

175 for cape , 20 hearts for hair -accessories... RIP rainbow , don’t forget

[opaque yew]

They changed it, no longer needed hearts. All use candles after feedbacks

[static saffron]

Only thing I'm excited for event wise is GAY THRILLSEEKER

[molten yoke]

Can I have a gay discount

[sleek pelican]

Read #news

[tough thunder]

So.........
Tgm is doin it bery bery bery bad...

[white root]

Everything is expensive. We grind in real life and sky.

[chrome halo]

TGM = That Game Mompany?
agreed tho

[wispy mulch]

Mom?

[calm tundra]

I'm gonna laugh when TGC bringns the juggler spirit as the next TS. Too much shallowness revealed for a professional corporation😂

[reef axle]

why is mom making me pay rent

[crude turret]

no, krill

[rose narwhal]

Is the days of the rainbow coming after the season ends because that's the only way I can actually get 175

[alpine escarp]

rip to either my wallet or my cosmetics collection <3

[signal folio]

I feel like they hiked the rainbow cape so that more people would buy candles... I can't think of any other reason considering that the bloom cape was only 75 and (I personally think) it was higher quality

It sorta feels like they're low-key profiting off pride (but to be fair a TON of companies already do but I thought TGC was better than that)

I dont like the narrative that TGC is greedy because I feel like that's exaggerating but what theyre doing now is frustrating and disappointing

[analog belfry]

But will the fires continue until TGC gets back into the office on Tuesday, or die out before then? 🍿

[ionic isle]

i get that tgc needs to make money but 175 for rainbow cape is absurd. the cherry flower cape was about 75 if i remember correctly. it just kinda feels in bad taste to have such an expensive cosmetic on an occasion meant to celebrate freedom from oppression… i realize it’s because tgc knows there’s a lot of players who want this because of what it means to them but i think the price should’ve been 120 tbh

[spark lance]

I’m conclusion; tgc make me very angy. I will now retire from this channel, goodbye lads

[tropic estuary]

I've already submitted feedback for Days of Rainbow, but personally 175 candles is absurd for a single cape when everything else from the event spirit also costs candles. Personally I think 70-75 candles is far more reasonable and realistic for the cape and like 10-15 each for the hair and accessories

[iron anchor]

TGM ? Is that stands for That Game Money?

||This will probably getting deleted||

[lilac oriole]

Tgc not poor

[leaden radish]

its probably gonna cool down and the prices are gonna stay the same

[glass shoal]

theyre exploiting kids lol

[vapid drum]

You don’t have to buy all the cosmetics , learn from the story of the little prince 🤗

[barren moss]

someone: you do realise that TGC staff needs to eat right? the reactions: NO 😡

[dense vigil]

Yeah, they already earn a lotta money from the players buying AP

But seriously, 20 hearts for only one rainbow tassel? Yeah, not sure about that

[bronze nebula]

Remember when they raised over $1 million from the covid flower alone?
I imagine the price of the adventure passes alone keeps the lights on lol

[molten yoke]

they make more than enough for a company of 50 people

[narrow nimbus]

That doesn't excuse the fact that they're taking extravagants amounts of money from everyone. Learn to read the room further, especially now that we're in the middle of a pandemic.

[sleek pelican]

Aaanyway i blinked and this chat suddenly talking about days of rainbow. Days of rainbow is over in beta discussion about it can take place in live channels

@opaque yew read the patch note when they drop new UI, they put DoR prices in there

[spark lance]

I only hope valley pants are a placeholder and not actually an iconic sky outfit in the least-sky season.

[odd fable]

Guys, is possible to get the green cape? Or we can only try it in the home shrine? :))

[gentle hornet]

Are the cosmetics from this season supposed to be grey and discolored? Is that the right word?

[hybrid wedge]

@static saffron That may have been an attempt to make a lighthearted comment, but the pandemic is still killing people around the world, so it's not appropriate to use it as a punchline

[reef axle]

that depends where you live, your financial situation, etc. covid is not over. very privileged statement to make

[calm tundra]

I wish they had elders' costume as part of the ult gif of regular item trees...not as a part of Seasons'.

[vocal valley]

They might color them in live version, hopefullly

[tawny pecan]

While they’re by no means the richest game company around, they’re not starving or broke anymore. Their charity events alone raise a lot of money, so you can imagine that the iap items + adventure passes bring in lots too, not to mention the people who also buy candle packs.
Even if they were starving, I doubt the workers would just accept their fate. A lot of people get additional jobs when things are hard or support from others.

[rose crown]

Remember kids, Laws are complicated and even vague at times

[opaque yew]

But in Beta the tassel no longer cost 20 hearts, and the rainbow event not in Live yet, talking about it there is a spoilers. I saw it changes to 35 candles or something

[quaint canyon]

The memories of one of the spirits did have some normal constellations spirits tho

[white root]

Days of rainbow took all the colors. They are buying new crayons

[void hinge]

Out of topic,
I want to ask, is eden have new feature dat we cant jump when we lost our light? In black room even when we still trying to sacrifice. I walk so slow der,

[spark lance]

So what do I do about this whole “Game data is corrupted. Please re-install” thing whenever I try to go to the rose spirit

[rare pier]

How likely does it look for the little prince outfits prices changing?

[tawdry pine]

It's a known bug, for now move on

[analog belfry]

I should be off candle-running right now but I can't peel my eyes off of this burning train wreck.

[signal inlet]

rip...
looks like the rose is being a bit prickly

[leaden radish]

it is quite entertaining ngl

[spark lance]

there’s like 30 of them in the company and they’re getting half a million dollars from a two week event… absurd

[gritty wyvern]

Very likely, during beta development, many seasons have undergo several changes, this one will most likely change too!

[spark lance]

Not only that but our sky kids also seem to go slower while having their light drained. So all the storm lock part is hella slow too, it was a pain

Heading to #beta-feedback

[sleek pelican]

Not a spoiler they already announce the price. Tassel is 20 hearts. Check it out in the #news

[foggy atlas]

I’m pretty sure they’re eating just fine

[honest fractal]

Exactly rose’s characteristic😉

[tawdry tree]

I've once returned to remind all heated hearts to not forget to drink water and rest! We will have our voices heard on this matter

[dense vigil]

1 tassel

[orchid flare]

Yes, i agree. The price is still absurd, but knowing why they decided on the IAPs would make sense. I'd be happy if they made the scarf and suit ADV pass only

[gray tangle]

tassle changed from 20 hearts to 20 candles, then when announced 20 hearts again (it changed to 20 candles in beta due to complaints iirc)

[thorny dagger]

And servers that can handle millions of players

[rose narwhal]

Still worth it since it looks like the one from

[static saffron]

I am very, very, sorry. I didn't realize that it was still doing that. I didn't mean to offend anyone if I did
Again, I'm sorry

[iron anchor]

Ututututu TGC be starving while they're showering with money like Mr. Crabs

[rose crown]

Just shouting that they are collaborating with Little Prince is quite the promotion already

[lilac forge]

Is the update available on Beta after update for The Little Prince?

[tropic estuary]

TBH collaborations shouldn't be entire seasons, they should be events

[carmine thorn]

It's as if people don't count in the costs of keeping a company afloat. AWS service alone to keep the game running costs at least 150k USD a month. Then factor in the rent for their office space, domain rights (thatgamecompany.com, thatskyshop.com, littleoreo.com, etc used in emails, websites, etc), Customer Service platform costs, etc.

[gentle hornet]

The little prince kinda scared me hehe I wasn’t expecting him to talk

[swift marsh]

Little prince paid for this , can’t tell me otherwise

[opaque yew]

I do remember after feedback they changed it to candles, not hearts maybe 35 candles. Do they forget to change the patched note?

[ionic isle]

i get the reason tgc made the cosmetics so expensive, and i get the reason that they took vacation because they were aware of the absolute pr disaster this would cause. it still feels manipulative though, lol. anyway my skykid is channeling the for the iap changes.

[dry quail]

Ok I’m so confused. How does the new spirit guiding system work? Whenever I try to lead someone idk which spirit they need. I know it says to use the call but that like does nothing

[reef axle]

right? now a collab is gonna be a permanent area in the game. it just feels kinda icky honestly. like dont get me wrong the new area is gorgeous it just stinks that it's such an obvious cash grab

[hybrid wedge]

@static saffron Thanks for understanding! We know that people process difficult situations with humor, but we do try to keep things a welcoming place for all

[spark lance]

The player who's asking for guide need to start relieving a spirit for that first I think

[dense vigil]

Just make the little princes suit a different purchase while the scarf cape, fox bag, and sword suit AP the fox bag just places a fox on the ground

[spark lance]

is slowmode still 5 mins

[hybrid wedge]

five minutes and seven seconds Don't think the chaos means we forget about our beloved prime numbers

[leaden radish]

it went from 4 minutes to 5 😫
oh

[gray tangle]

the patched note in #news says 20 hearts, either they forgot to change it or the tassle price changed back to 20 hearts

[viscid marten]

We have to finish Eden to access the previous seasonal spirits?

[tough thunder]

Ok this season...is going be a mesh totally worst than enchanzment

[static saffron]

Prime numbers best numbers

See you in five minutes and 7 seconds

[rose narwhal]

Saw a video during assembly on a new season, was hoping it was related to lore in vault and giving vault more livelihood, new season turns out to not relate to vault and have not much lore connection

[foggy atlas]

I don’t have much hope for this tbh
I don’t think they’ve ever changed/lowered iap prices once they’re decided (yes they have changed an item from igc to iap but not the other way around…)

[gritty wyvern]

I feel like TGC just uses us for money, what is the most logical reason that they need loads of money for?

[quaint canyon]

#beta-screenshots-videos has less cooldown than here oh my god

[rose crown]

@gritty wyvern

[harsh stratus]

Anyone else feel like the little prince feels a bit out of place, being a actual person and all

[swift marsh]

Imagine doing a candle run and seeing the little prince over and over again 😭

[gentle hornet]

To get Lots and lots a boba tea I like to believe

[spark lance]

On another note, I have noticed the change for regular spirits to look at our sky kids has been implemented on our characters themselves. This has resulted in lots of starring even while sitting, either normally or on a chatting spot. It honestly feels kinda weird

[lost pivot]

i think id be ok w it if it was only like. the fox mask and sword pants, but the little prince scarf and pants wouldve been wonderful as ult gifts heck, not even, the pants would be fine on a spirit too, making just the fox backpack iap i dunno,

[main talon]

this argument is totally valid but oh my this is sort of funny how long we've been ranting for

[ionic isle]

wait what was wrong with enchantment 😭

[honest fractal]

The area itself is free tho I kinda feel like we are paying for it too, the place itself is free so tgc just rise the price of cosmetics but just a guess

[chrome ferry]

every season area has been free. whats your point here?

[sleek pelican]

The guided:
-have missing spirit in the area
-tap ask for guide button

The guide:
-already have the spirit the guided needs
-tap to help
-honk honk to reveal icon of the needed spirit in the map

[iron anchor]

For those who are saying no, remember that GAMES ARE MONEY MAKER, just be real, thanks for the feedback & Community support to make the Game is still alive

[distant imp]

i would love for the green suit to be the ultimate reward, i mean how cute

[analog belfry]

Fox backpack is ultra cute and all, my main disappointment is no fox mask, and no fox call. Highkey, I was expecting a fox call at least.

[signal inlet]

business perspective, if they had the same prices as before, I'm sure they would lose a lot of s t o n ks. not everyone would buy it so if the prices continue it'll flop.
While there's no way to exactly note down all the money they make and everything they have to pay (unless some krills get through the system and h a ck which is very bad of them to do so ) I would consider that they're doing okay in the sense of money.
According to wikipedia, it's said that they receieve millions of dollars in support from companies like Capital today when journey was coming out, and with all the games they have now, it's likely they'll have some sort of profit.

In addition, there's a lot of coverage on sky. A lot of sky youtubers and musicians, meaning that they'll get a lot of coverage. More people will play, and more things happen. here's a lot of cases in which what is happening, they could just be testing out how much money they can get without breaking the border and sending everyone into 🔥

Cost wise; it would be best to lower the prices, if not just make a lot of things AP. Previously hours ago it could be seen that the ap is higher priced. Or they could make new cosmetics (most unlikely) for those who can purchase expensive things. I doubt it would turn out good because if the cosmetics are as good as the ones we have now, that would be... ...;; no.

[dry quail]

Oh thanks this helps a lot!

[half plaza]

i feel like the backpack should just be an iap since it doesn't really do anything, maybe just there if you wanna support TLP or TGC?

[reef axle]

i really think tgc could avoid all this if they let us be involved in future decisions for seasons. they always just anounce them once theyre really far along, at least EA puts out surveys now and then. the surveys tgc gives us are always related to features but i wish we had some say in seasons yknow?

[spark lance]

I am interested in seeing if trademark did have anything to do with it. its not like they own foxes and roses but it would make sense for the more iconic costumes.

[valid geyser]

How many seasonal candles are available in beta Prairie, please?

[thorny dagger]

And salaries plus all the money that company has to pay for employees - social security, insurance, unemployment, pensions.

[barren moss]

i’m sorry my brain hurt trying to read all of that but i’m sure you’re educated 🥲

[spark lance]

It's good that we don't have to pay to enter the new map
Imagine paying for new areas:pWow:

[daring abyss]

Wait- is the ap higher? I'm not in beta but I do follow people who are.

[vast edge]

Im having a hard time finding all 8 seasonal candles in prairie
Can someone tell each location please 🙏

[kindred perch]

i think that tgc wants to make sky a nice environment for people to chat but i feel like it is safe to say that they are in the wrong when it comes to a lot of stuff regarding pricing... if you have money cosmetics pretty much come easily AKA people who spend money on the game are favored
you can always say “its not a big deal its just cosmetics” but frankly cosmetics are the reason the game has replay value

[tawny pecan]

Friendly psa: some of us have trouble reading huge walls of text and get overwhelmed, a tldr is much appreciated

[late mountain]

General reminder for everyone to take a break if you’re feeling drained. This discussion has been going on a long time so don’t forget to take a rest and sneep when you can I promise the beta channels will still be here when you get back

[static saffron]

Tgc uses their money to feed the krill workers winged light
And pizza of course /j

[orchid yacht]

I see the tire fire is still burning

[carmine thorn]

You apparently didn't read the room when people were saying TGC is rich and doesn't need to make money.

[trim hamlet]

There is a bug, there is a candle that is under the ground

[bronze nebula]

It’s as if people don’t count in the potential profits from having an active player base of over 1 million people
like even if only 30% of total players buy adventure passes that is still an insane profit margin

[rose narwhal]

That explains all the pizza parties in the office and the krill

[sick pendant]

It's been 18 hours

[barren sage]

7 atm I think???

[white root]

They are all in the social space and butterfly field

[opaque yew]

One of the candle is oob, near the entrance to bird nest . It’s underground

[frigid shadow]

The 8th one is underground in the butterfly fields, it's near the clouds around the candles in front of the constellation gate leading to the bird's nest!

[hybrid wedge]

Please remain courteous to your fellow posters here

[foggy atlas]

Agreed
People are talking about how TGC needs to maintain themselves but we are not asking much. In fact, we are asking for the bare minimum (which is to lower to iaps a bit or put one of them as AP instead of IAP)

[opaque swan]

Just checking how long the slow mode is don't mind me

[summer garnet]

I'm just gonna buy the sword outfit and not AP, if they won't change IAP items and wait for ts to get AP items. I can forget about ult 🥲

[quaint canyon]

one of them is inside the clouds infront of bird nest barrier it can't be seen but if its already lit you can get its wax the rest were easy to spot

[main talon]

wait hold on is the ap price raised for this season? oh god pls no i just saved $20 for my friends and i--

[hybrid wedge]

It's okay to have deeply held opinions, but a differing opinion does not make a person your opponent, just a fellow passionate fan

[honest fractal]

My point is the season area is gorgeous and free for everyone way more creative and large than before and I love it, tgc put effort for it and everyone can enjoy it.

[ionic isle]

okay real talk i’ve seen several high quality photoshops making fun of the new season… where are y’all finding the time for this it’s been 18 hours 😭

[gilded parrot]

Hmm I don't know where that could be, but we could jump in Beta and try searching it together! As testers, it's important for us to look for things ourselves before asking questions and submit any struggles to TGC in #beta-feedback. That way we are helping many Live children that could have the same questions

[analog belfry]

💸 🔥 🔥

[modern pebble]

Quick question, with each ts that comes, there is a guide point that shows you where the next memory is when reliving it, right? That is not the case in those who arrived yesterday... is it a bug or is it planned?

[rose crown]

I mean when they whip out something as minimally designed as the Days of Nature Green Cape, tons of people buy it. I mean you do have to take into account the properties applied to the material of the 3d models but that's most likely not what people go for

[empty river]

btw can i just say and just got absolutely dethroned for most dramatic emote?

[spark lance]

Damn, it is still Burning here 🎉

[distant imp]

expect for prices i really don't see why you guys are complaining, so far the season is really awsome and it reminds me of my first time playing sky.. this discovering and magical feeling ✨
at the end of the day don't forget this is just a game so no need to be hasty over there

[reef axle]

thats what we've been talking about since last night lol, we know. its still way too much

[fallow crater]

I was gone for 5 hours and this chat still going 😭 lol

[tough thunder]

......this going make so angry so many persons when they comeback

[hybrid wedge]

Nahh, it's not so bad right now. In fact we just brought the slowmode from 5 min 7 seconds to 4 min 31 seconds!

[ionic bluff]

They didn’t just get shoved off their throne, they got thrown off

[spark lance]

Not fair

[static saffron]

Sorrow emote is a call out

I love it, especially the level 3/4

[empty river]

the flop is like, faint lvl 100

[primal quartz]

Is it me or the prince looks soulless in the sky style

[leaden radish]

ok but the capes are beautiful i hope they get coloured

[barren sage]

Im just reacting and giving explanation as necessary tbh-

[rose narwhal]

him staring at you: o o

[iron anchor]

About the #news , since there are some veterans that disagree about this, i think that would be okay if Call & Stances only available to be relieved when the TS arrives, since Stance & Calls are the Completely level 1 emote themselves
Just my opinion & suggest❤️

[empty river]

ironically he's the most alive person in this whole game!

[humble nebula]

it was fun watching the arguments but im gonna hop off and candle run, have fun debating and remember hydration is important

[kindred perch]

lol true!

[random gull]

I already left feedback that the prince’s model is pretty unsettling to look at it looks pretty close to the netflix adaption version but it’s still offputting in sky style

[gray tangle]

I think the capes are okay, i like the greyscale in it but some of the capes look kinda.,, similar idk..

[white root]

Need more crayons.

[harsh stratus]

I wish the would but i think they are staying the gray

[signal inlet]

depresso for crab expresso color

[orchid nexus]

I've been busy cutting and welding all day... Is beta chat still on fire?

[swift marsh]

Or maybe they want you to buy the little prince outfit instead of a ap because it’s more expensive 🤔

[ionic isle]

heck yeah

[normal shoal]

i hope at least one cape stays grey :(

[dense vigil]

If it's all just grey colored, it doesn't match the seasonal place in vault,and the theme. It just looks like they only put the bleak adult stuff from The Little Prince in the seasonal cosmetics

[spark lance]

"This is just a Game" with an expensive IAP that rivals PC games, so...

[fervent hatch]

Hey you get essential shared spaces and a new season the little rose. No complaining

[craggy elbow]

so did they really made the sassy stance unaccessible
i got all happy there to revive the spirit and then wow wind wall time

[opaque yew]

But I wouldn’t wanna see a totally different Little Prince from the book he actually look like the real one so I like it

[quaint canyon]

I just wheezed when i saw the little prince's face after that one spirit said "to buy more stars"

[orchid yacht]

Keep in mind that this is still literally the first day of the first rendition of the season. That is to say, from this point on there will be many changes.

[half plaza]

i'm honestly glad of the new seasonal system being tested- it's nice to get these expressions for newer players but idk,,, something just feels off to me when all of them are immediately available to be relived idk how to describe it

[distant imp]

I actually like the capes being all black it gives a unique aesthetic but i won't mind it colored as well
Also i think the grey tones really represent adults while u see the little prince being very colorful, it kinda make sense

[wide reef]

imagine if we could gift iaps to friends

[lime current]

how have you been in the new area?
It is a very nice place

[barren moss]

just sent feedback on the season and asking for at least a call! hope they really think about it because a fox call would be amazing

[orchid nexus]

I'm really happy is base emote now

[spark lance]

If those aren't going to get some colors I'll probably won't buy the pass.. I'm ok with my rhythm outfits

[empty river]

i agree, he doesnt look like hes from the world of sky but thats...kinda the point lol

[pallid cipher]

I’m very proud of everyone calming down!

[static saffron]

I'm happy all seasonal emotes are base game now

[spark lance]

Maybe just that hes the only thing in the entire game with a visible human skintone? Not wearing a mask or anythin.

I feel like if the capes had slightly more variation in shading then they’d be some really cool items. Right now they look hard to see, especially in dark places/at night but that’s a personal opinion

[tough thunder]

[warm ether]

I think a lot of sky is moving more towards pay to win(not that there's a lot of winning, but hear me out), because the social politics start coming into play when we introduce things like limited-time or IAP cosmetics. People only want to hang out with others who have "cooler" cosmetics (especially the rhythm ultimate gift, lightseeker cape, etc.) and i can't help but think that TGC is at fault for putting too much emphasis on the limited time seasonal cosmetics/IAP. Especially with something like limited-time Le Petit Prince collaboration items, that will never come back, it further separates players who have the means to pay for items in the game and f2p players. I think it would be good to put less emphasis on cosmetics and appearance, and maybe adding emote events (sort of related but I'm really glad they're allowing players to unlock lvl 1 of all past spirits), and try to limit IAPS to holiday items that can return/seasonal passes.
TL;DR: Putting too much emphasis on cosmetics/limited availability is eating at the community, maybe return to the social aspect of Sky

[main talon]

hold on hold on so wait ap prices are higher too? .... how much higher :'))) thank god--

[tawny pecan]

They need a little ✨pizzazz✨

[barren sage]

Ap is still the same price I think

[swift marsh]

What if they are giving all emotes now , so that you have to do iap for emotes in the future 🤔

[signal folio]

FYI the prophecy pants look GREAT with the new capes

Edit: I know that a lot of new players don't have it I just really excited about seasonal cosmetic continually and mixing:stickerUmm:

[spark lance]

5 mins feels like a very lomg time so...

Also I hope the old Csmetics comes back with the Ult rewards

[gray tangle]

pizzazz.. i see my name there

[orchid nexus]

The tl;dr is good :) and I would love a season focused on interactions and some new social mechanics

[gritty wyvern]

This has a good point, you should send it in #beta-feedback if you haven't! And TGC already have plans to make everything less exclusive, we will see their updates in the future

[dense vigil]

But the thing is, most new players don't have the prophecy ninja pants

[normal shoal]

people r gonna be going nuts over crab call after the next update for live hahahah

[quaint canyon]

how can yall react yes after 3 seconds of posting a long paragraph, that's some interesting speed

[random gull]

I personally like the grey/blue of the pants that look a bit like the valley elder twins. I think the point of the grey though is the “adults are boring and constricted” message of the original little prince story cuz the prince’s stuff is all colorful

[rose crown]

Seconded. We need more minigames such as tag

[empty river]

the people going for crab call or the ones that are going to listen to it?

[wide reef]

i hope the capes can change, but maybe they're all gray scale because they represent the adults who are seen as depressing and pitiful by the little prince 🤔

[white root]

Earning candles/hearts while helping a moth would be nice

[spark lance]

PROP HUNT!!!!!(hide and seek)

As a school student :- in terms of money I've no money

[harsh stratus]

Okay okay but are the capes ap locked because i have the pants and could totally be a ninja

[primal quartz]

I love how they specifically pointed out that the $15USD sword is not a weapon and cannot be used
Still too expensive and we dont get to use it after paying that much :sob:

[ionic isle]

okay well even though i get the feeling this convo will still be rolling tomorrow morning please remember to get sleep, drink water, touch grass etc etc. everyone have a good morning, afternoon, or night!

[static saffron]

I'm both

Seriously though I absolutely love the call and will risk winged light for it

[barren moss]

15usd on a sword i can’t even use to fend myself off from krills..... 🥲

[half plaza]

cosmic manta cape when

[orchid yacht]

The little prince in Sky looks stonefaced during all the cutscenes. There's no emotion there

[spice sorrel]

The capes are so nice i just wish they weren’t ALL black

[median pasture]

i'm so glad we can have all the stances and calls now and the selfie emote !! i just barely missed that ts in live

[distant imp]

Seeing the Little Prince book as a child, as teen rereading it and even as a movie and now seeing it on my favorite game makes me emotional I love it

[hybrid wedge]

Personally I dread the permanent return of the crab call 🙉

[barren sage]

I want a group hug action

Goodness the slow mode makes it hard to reply >.<

[honest fractal]

But it may pokes yourself few times while you using emotes😏

[empty river]

your doom is inevitable, sorry not sorry ✌️ 😔

[sick pendant]

ugh misclick

now i have to wait 5 minutes

[hybrid wedge]

I would bean you if i could, Giccix

[opaque yew]

We should help without expect anything in return. This will make players only help to profit from moth

[stuck musk]

Is beta open

[kindred perch]

adding on to this...
it might be a stretch but i think there should be some sort of different way cosmetics are distributed. (seasons and limited time editions could still exist) its kind of sad to see that some people will have to wait literally months to get cosmetics for a TS they want
this is a very broad point but... i guess what im trying to say is the way cosmetics are such a big deal within the community is really straying away from the main idea of sky
i think there should be some sort of pity system for people who never got to experience a season in the past, and i notice that sky is recognizing this by making level 1 emotes for all spirits permanent

[rose narwhal]

loud sever of honking crab children going WaAaaAAAah

[dense vigil]

The capes do look cool, but they're all so...bleak

[stark cloud]

I think I already relive all previous seasonal spirit. But need to check it again if there is some that I forgot

[white root]

Days of rainbow took all the colors

[spark lance]

Makes me think if the main point of getting iap cosmetics (like this) is just for showing off to others

[agile cliff]

they still have to have their models reworked and textures added onto them. everything is still subject to change

[static saffron]

Specifically, Rallying Thrillseeker did

[silent crater]

Is the fire still burning

[gray tangle]

yall- if children play sky and seeing all of the expensive iaps, they might ask their parents to help pay for the cosmetics- and it will be a bad habit

[half plaza]

i honestly think they could've done more with the concepts of stances and calls. the last stance/call we got was from sanctuary, which will over be a year old soon. there was definitely a possibility of a new call or stance here (maybe a fox call or a dazzling stance), i'm kinda tired of seeing the same spirit trees since prophecy and hope they would've added something unique this season.

[harsh stratus]

Sorta but not as bad as it had been

[peak token]

oot but is it only 2 seasonal candles in valley social area?

[primal quartz]

Feeling bad for batman 😔

[azure yarrow]

I do not like that the new season is so expensive, all the good accessories are paid separately, if so, it makes no sense to buy the adventure pass😢

[wild dust]

I love that the drunk guy lvl3 emote is just. Slumping on the ground. Such a mood

[honest fractal]

Days of rainbow used up all pigments if ults return they probably will remain colorless too

[thin fable]

Ello, im just suggesting, please report to tgc, don't be silent, some of us can't afford the iap 😭😭

[sick pendant]

so who's gonna tell the little prince that we can litteraly become drones and fly up and easily spot him in under 2 minutes? while playin hide n seek with him

and he was like, this time took the longest
no hon, it took 5 seconds

[barren moss]

i think tgc will fix the prices. and if they don’t, all hell will break lose and they know that. so they’ll fix it lol

[dense vigil]

I hope they would add some color, bluish gray would be cool to match with the current seasonal environment

[tawny pecan]

Galaxy capes

[swift marsh]

Yes or a little purple

[carmine dove]

Ngl, but I prefer the King cape to be black totally not because I want to cosplay as King (Sky COTL King) nonono :) /s /j

[viscid marten]

I did the seasonal quest and it said game data is corrupt and I spent the last hour reinstalling the game

[rapid salmon]

Um is it just me or we can't get the quest reward
First quest

[rose crown]

Someone said that the adult cosmetics being colorless is a good touch considering the way they look at life compared to children

[signal folio]

Hopefully the NEXT next season with be better and less controversial. I just want normalcy

[peak token]

i only found 7 seasonal seasonal quest in valley

[white root]

Grow ups are odd

[honest fractal]

Yeah we can fly but it took me 5 minutes to find him

[static saffron]

I love the capes this season, especially the lantern guy's one!!

[gloomy sonnet]

Have you checked underwater?

[barren moss]

yes, but in the book it’s still way more colorful. i get what tgc is trying to do but they could still stick to the book when it comes to clothing or cosmetics

[narrow nimbus]

Yeah, I honestly prefer it this way tbh...
Besides, too much light colored capes is hurting my eyes abit, so I've been wanting more dark colored capes for a while now... ;;w;;

[analog belfry]

They should do something about the prices though. Thinking about it more, even if "whale hunting" is profitable they really do need to think more about their free and regular AP players. I tend to be someone who whales for a game they like; I can deal with the prices. But a lot of people can't.

Something game companies often forget is players are content. If there is nobody for the whales to play with, they leave. There is good reason TGC should work on keeping F2P and AP players happy and do right by them. Otherwise, those players leave, and when the game is empty, the whales leave too.

[dense vigil]

Dark colored capes are cool, but add a little more color to mix it with. Like blue and purple but make it dark

[shell jetty]

I wanna leave bcs next season

[sick pendant]

right now my only problem with the season is the fact that they ignored their own geography yet again.

vault is inside of the eden mountain, this is confirmed. yet they threw in there the eden mountain as if it's 5 realms away from us....why tgc? why

[gray tangle]

dark blue capes!! :000

[tough thunder]

.......

[tawny pecan]

Vault has been speculated to be a dreamscape in later levels, and personally I also think the new area is an illusion/ dream

[wispy iris]

Is the IAP chaos still going here?

[peak token]

aha i found it
idk if im blind or no, i wasnt paying atention to one odd candle there 😂

[barren sage]

The chaos part is mostly gone

[nocturne mason]

As a huge fan of the little prince, i'm a little dissapointed. If at least one of the suits came with the season pass, it would be a lot more fair to those who makes effort to just buy the pass. TGC needs to remember that they have players all around the world, and that there are places where 24 dollars are A LOT of money.

[empty river]

the description says this level is "dreamlike" i assume this means is not entirely real
also theres a giant pot on one side and a stage with infinite fireworks right next to it

[honest fractal]

It sounds like a glass of wine when our heads hit the wall Ignis don’t think, just don’t think

[dense vigil]

The seasonal environment takes you into another world, which is the dream / fantasy world to go on an adventure with the prince

[tropic estuary]

I still say this season's prices and days of rainbow's prices are absurd

[spark lance]

just here to check slowmode again edit: 30 sec shorter

[errant folio]

Hi guys is beta channel still chaos

[clear sleet]

fun fact: 50 usd is 55692.50 won
good luck to korean players....

[static saffron]

Not me about to make my new oc part of the dreamworld and travels between the real world, sky, and the dreamworld

[sick pendant]

fact remains

vault starts on the bottom of the eden mountain and since it's a tower it elevates us to almost the top of the mountain. It is dream like yet it still is inside of the mountain

sources - isle temple and prophecy murals

so my point still stands

on the other hand, hermit valley is the highest peak in valley (personal opinion) , and it should have had the best view on eden mountain yet it's nowhere to be found

[white root]

So it's like Coraline small door. Ah SkyxCoraline when? I need button eyes

[round sandal]

Yes

[agile cliff]

sadly :( it would’ve been really cool to see everything tied into each other and not feeling like separate areas on different sides of the world

[tawny pecan]

I personally love being able to see the stars, since they are covered up in eden and waste with clouds
(And personally have wanted to see what a hypothetical outdoor area for vault would look like for a long time)

[tawdry pine]

Even home space has eden visible, not because of the portal but because the castle's shadow can be seen

[viscid marten]

I can only find 6 seasonal candle bunches in prairie

[cerulean rivet]

Did beta calm down now?

[empty rock]

there are only 3 wl in the new area right?

[dense vigil]

Speaking of eden, I really need to charge my phone because it's cheese reset later

[sweet current]

Is it still burning?

[barren moss]

ok let’s just settle this once and for all, who wants aviary back

[honest fractal]

I think they put one inside of mountain? try to glitch in

[shell jetty]

Why is everyone asking that? What i missed?

[static saffron]

Posted in #beta-screenshots-videos

[sick pendant]

conclusion, ctril+x mountain from the desert ctrl+v in the hermit valley

tgc keeps ignoring geography and it makes the kingdom EXTREMELY vague, no fantasy world should be THIS vague

[tropic estuary]

People are angry because this season has IAPs and days of rainbow also has absurd prices

[blissful quest]

hi is beta calmer now

[jolly compass]

why not

[white root]

It could fan into flame any moment. It's unpredictable.

[analog belfry]

The fires seemed to have stopped suddenly, unfortunately. 🍿

[blazing solar]

I was hoping this season would have a instrument (I mean little prince season)

[empty river]

is there an instrument in the book?

[cyan knoll]

IAPs and confusing geography aside, i love love loveee the new area it’s so massive and beautiful, beta is honestly more fun than live right now because of it

[tawdry pine]

Nope, not even in the movie.

[tawny pecan]

Anything can be an instrument if you try hard enough

[empty river]

make music with the emotes 🧠

[molten yoke]

60 dollars is 1,382,760.00 Vietnamese dong too 💀 everyone finna go broke for this

[blazing sail]

Everything’s a drum.

(I don’t know if anyone will get this reference.)

[empty rock]

how many winged light are in the new area?
edit: thanks i thought so

[naive osprey]

How many seasonal candles are there in prarie are they all in the first two areas

[cerulean rivet]

You're not wrong

[balmy rock]

. There’s 3 wl???? I only found 2

[shell jetty]

What are IAPs?

[static saffron]

With the new seasonal area, there is now 102 winged light in all the realms, including trials, eden, and orbit

[solid dune]

I’ve seen some people say the Prince Packs might be due to it being a “collab” with the company of The Little Prince.
That is not the case. The story, The Little Prince, is public domain and has no copyrights at all except in France. Anywhere outside of France, you are welcomed to use the story in any way that you wish, even to make money off it. So the Packs are not due to a collab deal, because there is so deal, and simply TGC wanting money

[honest fractal]

Like our heads

[blissful quest]

alright then calmer topic- thoughts on the new season area?
also 70 dollars is 1.001.448,00 rp here smile [still crying because of sword pants costing money]

[mental otter]

on top of the huge lamp & pot, as well as underneath the "king spirit" platform

[safe turret]

Its not burning anymore just a little spark

[cobalt quarry]

Is this chat still burning?

[tropic estuary]

Shame I can't get to any of that bc wind wall bug

EDIT: When I try to go to those in the area a wind wall blocks my way and sends me in the opposite direction

[elder spade]

One at the top of the tower where you can find the stretching emote
One at the jar
One on the kings island thingy

[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!

[white root]

People are recharging....their wedges

[rotund hare]

People really still said “no one is forcing you to purchase” I’m so mad rn💀

[tawdry pine]

New area is Gorgeous!! I stood there for minutes just taking it all in

[primal quartz]

Alright so as yall might know by now, the cool items of this season are iAPs and overpriced in general, it could be for multiple reasons:
-Paying for the Little Prince license (renewed in 2019) and TGC wanting to make a profit after the investment
Or
-As it is a collab, both parts want to have profits, so both the owners of the license and TGC settled for those items to be sold as iAPs

Overall, having very expensive items is not a good option, not many people will buy it and it should be lower so more people buys it. People are already complaining.

Do I think is justified wanting to charge that much for virtual items? No.
I understand they want profit but the prices are just outrageous considering you get just that, virtual non tangible items that cost almost as much as merch sold by both TGC and the copyright owners of Little Prince

TL;DR of the situation: we have to wait for TGC's statement on the situation before yall start thinking about boycotting them.

[tawny pecan]

Quiet before the storm
And the fire burns once more

[flint sorrel]

This is such a miracle. I no longer see “several people are typing”. Its like Moses parted the red sea.

[jovial bramble]

Man the chat is still burning.
Keep up the good work.

[hybrid wedge]

The game is still copyrighted in the U.S. and France, and the characters are trademarked.

[blazing sail]

Why does flying feel super slow in the new area? Even with friends, I feel like I’m just floating instead of flying.

[peak plume]

Is it.... is it over?

[naive osprey]

Can someone tell me where the 8 candles r in prarie?

[sweet current]

[static saffron]

Chat is burning? Nah, it's arson

Valley twins are doing this

[empty rock]

i thought he just split a sea, nevertheless

[craggy karma]

18 hours now

[blissful quest]

i dont think even the valley twins are capable of doing this much chaos and arson

[shell jetty]

Thats true!!! I take more time to cr, its so slow and seem like the area its going away from me when i fly, its so stressful

[safe turret]

I felt like a rock when I went into normal flying mode tbh and boosting myself dodnt do anything

[hybrid wedge]

Pretty sure they would take that as a challenge

[white root]

There's a reason why skykids are always carrying portable candle

[jolly bear]

Why does flying feel super slow in the new area? Even with friends, I feel like I’m just floating instead of flying.
@blazing sail oh finally someone noticed that too, it seem that we have a little invisible wind barrier there actually (?)

I was with 2 of my friend, we test fly there and all of us could feel like our flying getting delayed or slowed down

Also sometime you cannot fly too long on top of the Rose Garden, it is like we got pulled down and heavy

[elder spade]

This is what I'm saying to my friend, but somehow he sounds mad that I'm saying that it's unfair all the ultimate reward worthy items are iap and as a f2p player it's disappointing too even tho I'm not getting any of the Ultimate reward lol

I also thought the scarf will be the ult reward but it seems the I'm wrong 😧 I hope they'll change the ultimate reward cause i feeling like it's not worth it for the players who will spend money to buy ap to get the limited time ultimate reward which are Hair and a music player rose ONLY

[shadow stratus]

If you look in the first image they provided us, its writen at the bottom of the image "property of POMASE", so it is a collab thing i think

[tropic estuary]

Regardless of royalties and it being a collab season, it's absurd that this season is so expensive when the majority of the playerbase is under 18 and dependent on their parents for money

[lost pivot]

can confirm im not a kinnie, but i have did and have a valley elder alter. they WILL take that as a challenge

[wheat pumice]

Even now and then, at least TGC give us TRANSPARENCY with the PRICES they are putting in a certain IAPs.

[spark lance]

manifests that tgc will be kind enough to make the IAPs ultimates for the season

[sick pendant]

TGC: We want ppl to know that you are from the valley of triumph
the ''hype me'' spirit: say less

[oak lagoon]

Chat still chaos?

[toxic monolith]

pretty much yeah

[rotund hare]

They probably made the scarf as IAP because a lot of players always wanted to be capeless so lots of people would buy it

[static saffron]

Mettaton is from valley? /j

[molten yoke]

Google says it remains protected until 2039? Im not sure there are conflicting sources but most say certain versions (publishes) of the Little Prince will be copyrighted until 2039

[blissful quest]

i might turn into a juggler stan but sword pants edition if it still costs money [yes even if its ap] 🗿
man the slowmode

[spark lance]

heres how to budget for the new iap! :
eat once a day
try and shower less
dont go outside
move back in with your parents

[shell jetty]

I only have $ 10 to spend on the game
I do not intend to put more money
The focus of the camera is more and more horrible
Basically this season you spend 70 or 90 dollars
The emotes menu and the constellations are disastrous I could buy everything but playing I'm going to get sick of the camera and the menus of friends and emotes
It won't do any good to have all that if I'm going to end up hating the game

[crude turret]

to eat or not to eat... that is the question

[tawdry pine]

ah honk here we go again

[sweet current]

Survey: Will you buy the AP?

[rose crown]

I have never spent money for the game because I couldn't. I was lucky because someone gave me a pass as long as I accepted their commission. Now this lol. Sad

[late mountain]

Always remember to put your health first everyone. That includes a healthy amount of eating, drinking and sneeping.

[barren sage]

It depends on if it becomes worth it for me

One of them. More likely buying the little prince pajamas and scarf

"Wagie wagie, get in cagie
All day long you sweat and ragie

Wagie trapped and wagie dies

[elder spade]

I'm just hoping that tgc will put atleast one of those iap as ultimate reward for the season of for a normal spirit lol

[buoyant rock]

The outfit of Little Prince should be Ultimate Gifts

[clear sleet]

not me eating chicken tenders & fries rn...... & school just got out for summer......

[toxic monolith]

it would honestly make more sense to keep the fox and make the rose IAP bc they’re like the least “sky-like” items. if they have to make something IAP, making the suits and scarf are pretty sad because they’re the best and fit the season. making those IAP rather than something else is just eh

[sick pendant]

since tgc didnt do it time to name the spirits and their emotes

the applause seeker - hype me
the workaholic - act casual , don be suspicious
the dark waterholic - just send me to orbit already
the king - is he? yknow? ✍️ *without the pen
the smart one - UwU sneeze

[cobalt quarry]

Maybe the Sword pack or the Little Prince's pajamas

pomase? more like boutta pomPASS on this season

[gray quarry]

They make me mad I no buy AP I no support bad

[Skykids loved that]

[distant imp]

the little prince pack should be the ultimate rewards hands down

[sweet current]

Survey: If TGC doesn't change anything, will you buy the AP? ( or )
Will you buy the IAP? (✅ or ❌ )

[crimson basalt]

Little prince season without little prince items bahahahahah

[static saffron]

Your pfp is amazing

[wraith charm]

How’s it going

[spark lance]

glad we all agree the prince’s outfit and scarf should be the ultimate gift

[jovial bramble]

Heavy slurping sounds.

[crude turret]

what's the point of buying the ap if the star of the show is an iap

[molten yoke]

Does anyone have sources stating whether The Little Prince is in Public Domain in the US? I cant find anything on google

Based on the 70 years after author's death law then the book shouldve been in public domain since 2015 but some sources say 2039?

[cosmic orchid]

I really like the LP pants,
they make you have moth skin color, not green or black or blue, the classic light brown tone

[tawdry pine]

If things don't change ( cause is 1st day)... I would like to get the sword pants.

[true bone]

it makes sense honestly

[elder spade]

Ikr but it's just a hair and a rose...😐 I'm really looking forward to get that scarf but it's expensive lol it's around 1500php in my country lol I'm too broke😭💀

[spark lance]

This will be the most reasonable answer 👍🏻😁

Expensive or not is relative. But because they introduce the collab as Season, people expected that at very least they can get the iconic look of le petit prince with Adventure pass. Additional cosmetics can be choices to get or not to get (a.k.a IAPs), since it is limited, there will be people who still want to buy it.

[hollow jay]

The AP has the little prince hair and a rose 🌹. It's still appealing to me and this season also has more interesting and exotic hairstyle than assembly.
And the capes haven't been finished yet. I bet they would look good.
So maybe not all packs but, yes I'll buy the AP

[errant folio]

Same i was waiting for that scarf

[blissful quest]

i just want the sword pants because it looks cool and i love cosplaying i can cosplay as alot of people/characters is it too much to ask for 🗿 🥲 😔

[fossil locust]

the capes aren't finished?? :( dealbreaker, i was happy to see more black capes

[sick pendant]

no wonder the crabs are always aggressive, they're always in the magick juice dark water

[spark lance]

its public domain everywhere but france, but everything else about the book other than the raw text, including the characters, illustrations and even the title of the book arent.

[compact jetty]

i dont think TGC can make changes easily because they have a contract with whatever the little prince is belonged to. if they want to make any changes, both of them need to agree on that decision
so if the little prince side says no, no matter how players want TGC to make change, TGC cannot do anything

[craggy karma]

That is beyond sad

[sweet current]

for anyone who still wants to react

[clear sleet]

what exactly is POMASE cause when i google i cant find anything on it other than that it owns the lpp character

[kindred perch]

i thought the little prince and sky collab was only regarding the theme of the season and not the actual prices/financial decisions?

[cosmic orchid]

if all goes well, the fox and the swordpants will remain as IAPs and the LP pants and capes will be Ults
still, I'd buy the sword pant
I gotta start saving

[tawdry pine]

Let's keep in mind sky is a global game so they gotta check with everyone

[distant imp]

hmm if tgc not ready for feedback or can't making change shouldn't done a collab to begin with

[signal folio]

Idea/compromise:

1. Ults = hair (1st), pjs (2nd), cape (3rd)
2. IAPs = Fox, dueling pants, rose, and general cape
3. Free players get 2 capes and 3 hairs (idk how much free players get regularly so +/- on these counts) and the scary mask since its kinda... ugly...

[bright portal]

every cosmetic that has little prince elements to it is under copyright and its a shared profit among both parties

[molten yoke]

However honestly if they did have to make a contract with anyone, they should not have continued with the collab if the prices are calculated like that and cannot change. Its like they knew players wouldnt be ableto afford but still continued with the collab anyway.

[fervent patrol]

Its free domain in the US, but not in France, its country of origin.
Normally, it should be 70 yrs, however the author lived through WW2. To compensate for creations from WW2, they extend the copyright even longer. Makes sense, considering TLP got banned at some point in France because of the author during WW2.

[elder spade]

Yes, but isn't its unfair that the coolest possible Ultimate reward are iap?😕

[limpid crown]

I believe one reason why the other Cosmetics are IAP is because TGC don't own those Cosmetics

[stark cloud]

LP pants will available in entire season..take your time to saving money

[tropic radish]

Watch me say "TGC is on vacation
They'll clarify soon enough" for the 245836th time before they actually come back from their break

[daring prawn]

R.I.P

[wraith charm]

UGHHHH the new area looks so dang pretty I can’t be the only one who think that the area is the right move?

[upper rover]

We'll see how it plays out

[true bone]

me who can't even buy IAP anymore

[orchid nexus]

Details of the licensing contract will likely not be publicized, and any guesses about copyright and public domain may be misinformed. Actively developing the brand, for example by making a movie, may add legal requirements to anyone else wanting to license. Copyright law is not very simple

[spark lance]

It's so dreamy

[brisk wing]

it's too big ;w;
doing cr there gonna be a torture 😭

[spark lance]

almost like we already know

I feel so sorry for tgc tbh. They've been trying to make a change and all they received is backfire

Not that there's something wrong with that they should have seen it coming

[lilac forge]

I wish there is a violin can be add inside the Sky

[compact jetty]

maybe they think ppl can afford it since IAPs are always in this prices

[spark lance]

That's what i said. I'm agreeing your opinions. To put some of iaps to ult/Adventure pass

Then make additional iaps.

[sweet current]

The chat is ✨ALIVE✨ again

[clear sleet]

idk im just happy we're getting so many capes
*stares at assembly & its 2 capes, 1 of which is ap & the other which is ult*)

[crude turret]

what's up with this violin thing, people have been talking about wanting a violin for like a year now

[fossil locust]

makes me wish they did a days of little prince instead if theg were gonna throw everything good onto iaps :/

[mortal basin]

Is it just me or..
The game keeps telling me "game data corrupted"

[opaque mantle]

The seasonal quest area is basically isle but dark mode

[errant folio]

Reminder to keep polite with ur opinion,please don't be rude if someone else have different opinions

[distant imp]

I mean this is beta of course we gave feedback what did you expect haha it's legit the point of it : asking players for feedback

[humble bolt]

It's a bug, looks like the quest is not full yet or something

[elder spade]

This is right, we should accept what will be the final free and IAP item hehe. For now let's enjoy those iap for free on beta😂😂

[teal obsidian]

Someone plz update me what is going onnnnn

[tropic radish]

Wait, does this mean TGC can't /aren't allowed to explain on why the IAPs are expensive ?
Sorry, trying to wrap my head around it

[orchid nexus]

@bright portal crosspost from other platforms should be done as a direct link, not copy/paste in full. we can't validate the content of that post

[spark lance]

So dark water is like alcohol in sky?

[tawdry pine]

This is making my head hurt

[molten yoke]

I see. If thats true then its even more messed up that TGC is expecting for their players to cover the costs to actually enjoy the content. I do believe they can well cover the cost by themselves since they get a hefty amount each month.

[plain shale]

Tgc put the prince's items as iap pack and no one liked it

[dreamy inlet]

tgc charged an insane amount for the little prince items and everyone is mad

[cosmic orchid]

representation, symbolism, that sorta thing

[lilac solstice]

guys, the winged lights found so far in the new area is: 3

Make sure to snatch those cosmetics while they are free cuz once they change it to candles or seasonals we gon need more grinding

alright, my apologies. The post is from a private group with supports from variety of people in business knowledge so i cannot link it here

It’s $50 in total for all the IAPs, which is an unreasonable price imo

can we talk about the sea/boat/jellyfish new area pls with the star collector spirit, legit the most beautiful place ever bahsjsks

[limber turtle]

We need to refer them to Sky therapy

[elder spade]

Am i the only one thinking that the fox will be cooler if it is following you when you place it. That would be so cute, please tgc make my idea happen🛐

@spark lance true, just saying that we should accept what will be tgc's final decision (hope they change everything tho teehee🤭)

[teal obsidian]

Disappointed but not surprised 🤦

[spark lance]

How many sessonal candles you got today guys?

[brisk wing]

I don't get the use of the fox tho

[eternal orchid]

I got a screen saying my game data was corrupt and to please reinstall???

[cosmic orchid]

see #beta-faq, it explains thoroughly what you need

[peak token]

Just restart your game

You can use the fox in your shared space 👀

for sure. but as beta testers its our duty to riot until the season is in live.

[lilac solstice]

4 from each realm, plus the 4 quests, plus the 1 gift at the statue. 25

[spark lance]

Already guessed that good cosmetics are always required to get with money

[molten yoke]

I kinda wanna see chaos ensue when the prices are kept the same into live 💀

[south oyster]

We can tame our own fox now! ||with money ||

[muted ibex]

Jesus christ i love sky and I understand thg needs money but this IAP stuff is going WAY too far. Going near gacha game levels of "i need to buy stuff to enjoy myself"

[plain shale]

I like how the little prince season hasn't a prince in it

[signal folio]

Pspspspsp here foxy foxy 💸

[errant folio]

Tgc: put the main character outfit as IAP

[teal obsidian]

I need friends to explore the new area together and roast tgc while doing that

[upbeat knoll]

i completely do not understand why people get as straight up rude as they do with TGC about the prices, like i'm not pleased about them either but when people are like "fix it now!!!one" (pretend that's in all caps because i'm not actually doing that lol) i don't understand how they think they're going to persuade literally anyone into anything. diplomacy who am i right

[blissful quest]

we should've seen the game monetization coming by the time they used bit.ly for all their links here

[nocturne dew]

I want the Fox to follow us around too. It’s such a bummer that it costs $10 and just sits there. The AIPs are soooo pricey

[elder spade]

Ikr!!! We fight for what we want on live! Aaaaa lmaoo

Also why are those die hard fans of TGC are saying what i complain too much lol

[bright portal]

So I assume TGC had two options to make a license agreement.
1- Increase the price of Adventure Pass so that both parties will make satisfactory amount of profit.
2- Keep the price of the Adventure Pass same but add extra / premium cosmetics that can be bought seperately, so that both parties can still make satisfactory profit from per sale.
!It is important to remember that what's important is the price of a single unit whether it's an adventure pass or an exclusive cosmetic.

Which one would you choose? Make every single player pay more for an item that has been the same for past 9 seasons or add premium content for the first time which has no effect on the gameplay whatsoever. Not mentioning it is always a hassle to pick the proper price of an intellectual property. I think business wise, TGC choose option 2 so that it benefits more for both parties, and to maintain the ability for players to still get the AP at the same price as other seasons so that in a way, anyone can still participate in the event within the same pricing as previously.

Although personally, i agree seperating the little prince full outfit seems underwhelming and my personal opinion would be swapping out one of the IAPs with the Ultmate Gifts, for this instace, The rose Jar with the Prince's outfit bundle.

[orchid yacht]

imagine if sky were a flat fee game
@agile cliff they needed to get the new UI in there so that shared spaces would work

[agile cliff]

no cap is it just me or does it feel like TGC rushed out this last update for live especially right before they went out on holiday? I feel like the testing time for beta was too short

[limber turtle]

Anyone else struggling to find all 8 seasonal candles in Valley? Missing 1, can’t find it anywhere

[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

[cosmic orchid]

everybody gansta until the fox actually starts saying something

[craggy karma]

More like the more usher to fix it, the quicker TGC will do something about it, increasing the motive to actually do something

[pallid cipher]

this.

[obtuse pike]

You guys remember that tgc said you'd change it to a ultimate gift reward candle?

[wind grotto]

definietly😐

[compact jetty]

check the lake

[kindred perch]

i think people are just outraged because the prices are just absurd in general, i can tell people are trying to be nice about it but it is frustrating to see that tgc has come down to this
the fact that these prices are even in the beta is very questionable and honestly worrying

[spark lance]

damn thatd be a dream. or even subscription based, really

[eternal orchid]

I get that popup whenever I talk to the season guide

[lilac solstice]

Yup. Just leave the quest alone, its bugged. It'll be fixed soon

[molten yoke]

40 bucks a month 😻

[mellow tide]

I'm most concerned that this will set a standard for future seasons. If they see success from the Prince season's IAP, chances are the game will stay like this permanently- with the best cosmetics costing more than the entire Adventure Pass.

[dreamy inlet]

I honestly wish that tgc would stop rushing out content in general and work on the existing issues. There's so many bugs and so many server issues. So much lag. I feel like the game experience would be so much better if they worked on the existing issues rather than pumping out content. And anyway, I don't think anyone would mind a break from candle grinding.

[runic path]

I don't think increase AP price is a option for tgc.... What about those leftover AP some having now? Do they appreciated?

[muted ibex]

Sky went from. Haha fun sky game...relaxing and friend based to . Capitalism simulator I hate grind culture so much

[ionic reef]

Well we play the game, TGC always looked forward to hear our opinion so ✨we're giving it✨ 🙂

[signal folio]

Honestly with TSs I don't think anyone would be too upset about taking a month off after a season and getting 5 extra candles a day

[buoyant rock]

I'm getting tired of it all. I do not believe that TGC waited for the holiday (I believe it is a holiday there, idk) to throw the bomb and only come back when "everything will be calmer". I'm feel frustrated :(

[sweet current]

[upbeat knoll]

i've seen people just downright insulting/swearing at the developers in the comments of youtube videos though.... and even here, a lot of people are resorting to insults. like you can be angry and give them feedback publically but you don't have to resort to name-calling.

even if i wholeheartedly agree with someone about something, the second they act really childish like that about their stance i refuse to back them up 🤷

[errant folio]

One of the reason i start losing interest to sky

[river socket]

im back, sup people of beta chat still the same chaos from before?

[cosmic orchid]

either we grind to get things or play gacha
Choose only one

[craggy karma]

Reminder
Halloween cosmetics = 10 + 15+12+ 18
Summer lights = 20
Christmas = 15 + 15 + 5
Fortune = 25 + 10 + 1
Love = 20 + 20
Bloom = 20
Nature = 15 + 2 + 5 + 5
Rainbow = 10 + 20
That was a total of $243, not to include the 9 seasons and the winter piano/gratitude fur cape packs, Switch capes and the Founder's cape

[balmy rock]

HARD agree, thank you for putting this into words when I am unable to. This is exactly how I’ve felt for a very long time and I’m so glad that someone out there feels the same

[jovial bramble]

But hey, you can't be a prince if you aren't rich. /j

[visual yoke]

the ones who are okay with this are totally getting robbed since these cosmetics are nothing special ): that’s why everyone’s frustrated, it’s a really high price for capes and pants that don’t do anything out of the ordinary hehe

[wind grotto]

Other seasons quest giver: we are ready to do everything to our family and friends. Thats why megabird created me🦵💪⌚ rose quest giver: kejwhııhsısbskjso data corrupt now get beaned noob wıheısjıskosjs

[fierce inlet]

But there's a difference between events and seasons!

[viral spire]

The fact that I had players telling me to "get a job/get a better job or stop playing" because I said prices were unreasonably expensive makes me question what kind of people are playing this game, it's heartbreaking.

[woeful harbor]

All I’m hoping is that this is just a byproduct of experimentation, and this won’t be an issue in the following seasons due to this season’s unique nature

[orchid yacht]

only noone is giving feedback in the right place
no dev in their right mind is going to go out of their way to read through this hot steaming pile of 💩 while trying to find legitimate feedback
#beta-feedback is the place to be if you actually care about what you're saying

[molten yoke]

i agree, and like a few cheap events here and there would be more fun than the constant seasons

[rotund hare]

Sky really went from relaxing and friendly game to a monthly event, ridiculous prices for IAP and candle event items and candle grinding everyday for hours

[agile cliff]

not to mention, most of that stuff went to charity, and it still was cheaper than the IAPs in this season

[lyric bridge]

I have a question : ||are the spirit names of the new season announced?||

[sick pendant]

those flower thingies now recharge you

[blazing sail]

Yeah this is why I’m not sure why people are looking to find excuses for it. They didn’t need excuses all those other times. :/

[true bone]

I think we should also remind that most players here are most likely young adults, teens and students here who can't even afford the iAP items

[pallid cipher]

Sky went from “relaxing game about friendship!” To “GRIND FOR PRETTY CLOTHES, I SAID GRIND!!”

[signal folio]

Exactly, remeber when they experimented with putting season pass locks on some TS items? Everyone rioted and it never happened and was taken out of beta.

[willow garnet]

the rose garden reminds me of the stepmom’s garden in coraline

[errant folio]

Reminder to keep polite with ur opinion,please don't be rude to the staff or if someone else have different opinions

[elder spade]

Tgc die hard fans could never handle our "negative critism about them lmaoo, they shouldn't expect positive feedback from other players lol.

[kindred perch]

im almost certain tgc already receives lots of money from seasons alone and i think thats the reason that these prices are... weird.. some might even say greedy

sky is really relying on people who get adventure pass every season + people who IAP

f2p (like me) really have to struggle in a time like this and this really distracts from the game that tgc wants sky to be

[halcyon ermine]

Ight, I’m confused on the purple spirits. I don’t really know what they do besides giver you their emote. Any know anything about it?

[opaque mantle]

Imagine they make a season out of Coraline ✨ trauma✨

[river socket]

i mean even with all the insults and chaos, we all can agree tgc made a mistake with this and they must change those unfairly high prices but ye, remember to be respectful also this is beta, its meant to be the place were things are being tested and stuff

[eternal igloo]

that's it. also new experiences!

[proud nexus]

it would frighten children

[weary swan]

I feel like they would make more/the same amount of money if they made it cheaper because more people would be able to afford it and would be happy to buy it… but that’s just me

[wind grotto]

What about pink diamond's rose garden in steven universe :((

[upbeat knoll]

think of it this way: not insulting the developers while giving criticism (even if it's objectively scathing criticism and you otherwise don't hold back) prevents people from being able to dismiss you on account of "well you're being rude so w/e i don't care i'm not listening to you".

edit: also "season bad i do not like it >:(" isn't actual criticism

[rose surge]

now let's all try to calm down and just give the devs the feedback they need in #beta-feedback this conversation has been going on for a bit too long and it isn't going to help we can just give the devs the support they need and hope that they will fix it and let's not turn ourselves into the toxic players in the community that we all hated

oops sorry

[obtuse pike]

Android users couldn't do it from the rhythm season
What did you decide to do with the ultimate gift?

[spark lance]

morning, i just woke up to the beta content and like can anyone please explain why we have a season pass yet still have to pay for extra iap, and why the season pass of the little prince doesn’t include the little prince cosmetics

[sick pendant]

has anyone made a meme with the little prince running

"ÿ are u runnin??? Ý ar u runnin????"

[rotund hare]

Even if they change the IAP in the future I would still quit the game already I’m just tired that i have to candle run everyday all those events and TS cost too much candles

[lilac forge]

I feel like I am the Peter Pan in Sky now, the capes from last season really fit perfectly with The Little Prince shirt with sword

[muted ibex]

Yeah like . The other day I saw a video that was trying to be "motivational" about candle running, telling the viewer to not be lazy and spend an hour or two grinding candles, to stop thinking candles are going to magically appear and....god that mentality is so?? Toxic to me at least? Like yeah if you're very motivated and WANT to do it go for it but. Grinding like this for days and weeks and months ?? It's basically just another job?? Do this for hours and make money for pretty things. Also people who are neurodivergent and have executive functioning issues (me, with autism and possible adhd for example) exist ??? Its so . Frustrating to me and I never feel seen whenever I say my thoughts abt it in these discussions. I understand the workers are people, of course its not all their faults. But TGC the COMPANY def needs to step up abt this toxic grind culture

[orchid yacht]

#beta-feedback*

[true bone]

not to mention how a lot of players might have spent their money on candles and seasonal candles

[cosmic orchid]

Little Prince didn't skip leg day, he fast boi

[pallid cipher]

I just stopped grinding. I’m only on beta nowadays since some free IAPs give candles.

[lilac oak]

Season isn't much so far, I look forward to the updates

[wraith charm]

I SAY tgc needs too take a break after rainbow and little prince and take a break from events and seasons for awile and figure out what’s going on

[willow garnet]

ok but a coraline themed season would be so awesome ngl imagine button eyes mask for cosmetics 👀

[woeful harbor]

It's hard to imagine another story that would be unique, imaginative, and suitable enough to hold its place in a collaboration with Sky.
I have my doubts that we'd ever have a situation where they would do a collaborative season like this again because of that, unless Sky flops to the ground in the future. Under the assumption that all of the IAPs are because this is a crossover and for no other reason, I think we're safe to assume this is a one-time thing unless TGC is experimenting with something new. Which in that case, who knows what will happen.

[elder spade]

"Come chase me"
I'm literally ahead of you-

[balmy rock]

Also this isn’t a new issue. Instances like this have been going on nearly every other month for the past year or so, with items being sold for outrageous prices and beta testers never being listened to when they give feedback on those prices like they are being asked to. I’m glad that people are finally coming together and saying “enough is enough” because this has been a long time coming.

[muted crescent]

TGC doesn't want to hear criticism LOL
They just want PEACEFUL SKY WORLD

[last bane]

I have awoken from my slumber and returned to watch this chat burn for another 6 hours

[empty river]

if they didnt want feedback we wouldnt have feedback channels in the first place

[river socket]

well i pretty much sent my opinion about this IAP thingy so uh despite all of this we can agree the new little prince area looks georgous right? its smth i've been lookin forward into

[static hamlet]

When I arrived in Starlight Desert I felt a joy that was so pure I thought of course I would want to give as much as I could to the people involved in creating this amazingly beautiful place I can come to any time night or day. That view is free.

[plain shale]

Seriously thinking about migrating to the beta and only play there because I have less stress.

[kindred perch]

unfortunately thats just the way sky is.. and i dont see the devs changing the way people get candles and such. i think this is the main reason why i still lack cosmetics when i joined in december 2020 lol, i lost motivation to grind quickly and the repetitive nature is just tiring
i really like this game but it is getting weirder and weirder in terms of gameplay to say the least

[molten yoke]

Yes and some people simply do not have time to spent even 40 minutes a day on the game. This game doesnt do a very good job of also letting low time commitment players enjoy the content. Even with the new system it still takes quite awhile.

[blissful quest]

i think starlight desert is a very nice place ill spend alot of time in it when it comes in live

[buoyant rock]

It is very difficult for someone to have a different opinion in the face of the absurdity that the company is doing to the players, but ok.

[radiant drum]

Beta is for testing, many things are broken and your progress can be reset if TGC needs it for testing or any other reason, or access may be wiped. Please don't use it as your main account!

[bright portal]

It's my new fav place, if we look at certain angles looks like a scene from Attack on Titan when ymir was on the ground looking up to the stars in the desert

[halcyon ermine]

Guys can someone please explain the purple spirits

[rose surge]

oops sorry misclick

but yes i meant feedback, not discussion

[obtuse pike]

Tgc still not talking about the ultimate gift

[prisma mesa]

How to have the green cape?

[sleek pelican]

It's seasonal spirits. U can read more in #news

[spark lance]

please, if the next season looks like this i’m quitting and i know a lot of people who agrees

[sick pendant]

dont get attached to beta tho. beta might get progress wipe or be completely shut down any given moment

[wind grotto]

what you mean is: same meaning as "I created the mistake but you should apologize"

[jovial bramble]

Basically: tgc collab, collab = money for license and profits for both parties.
But the way they implemented it is wrong, too wrong.
So i hope they will find another way

[proud nexus]

so are we all against the IAPs in next season? (not the adv pass)

[orchid nexus]

as with all things beta, try to figure it out. if you can't figure it out in-game without explanations, then it might be helpful to provide that feedback

[hidden isle]

YOU GUYS STILL HERE OH MY- that's good tho keep it up

[cosmic orchid]

sad the IAPs don't have free candles

[stone swan]

I still can't understand why tgc did it with this season. had to be the best. more after that cold water bath. it is good to rethink what to do with these items.

[hushed flax]

What is the premium candle shop?

[true bone]

If players are willing to change TGC's mind about the iAP then please do it in #beta-feedback because that's where TGC would actually see your criticism and let's not be toxic as this community is supposed to be friendly , some of us are beta testers and as beta testers, it's your part to give feedback to do the DEVs about this season so that there would be a solution for everyone to agree to

[opaque mantle]

Would u guys buy the IAPS if it came with free candles??

[pallid cipher]

ayo where my 75 added candles

[spark lance]

this channel is really making me think of stuff

[hasty dew]

Agreed. I tend to hyper-fixate on certain things, and Sky is definitely one of those things. I used to spend upwards of 12-13 hours a day on the game. After a while, I started to realize, that once you have visited all the realms, and collected all the spirits, there is nothing to do besides grind. Grinding is all it is at this point. Want cool cosmetics? Grind for 1-2 weeks straight. Even then, you might not have enough still. Don’t feel like grinding? Open your wallet. It’s annoying, and stressful. Nowadays I barely have enough time to cr. I can barely get 15 candles in before I have to go. I have a strong dislike towards this way of doing things. Especially with the new IAP coming out. That’s almost over 100 dollars, and 200 candles. You have very little time to prepare if you consider TS, as well. This is just my opinion, though. Don’t take it too seriously

[hybrid wedge]

As a general reminder for folks writing feedback:

!howtofeedback

[gilded parrot]

ere's an article about how to write helpful feedback! https://tinyurl.com/gamefdbk

[signal folio]

For real, if youre going to charge 25 bucks you might as well throw in seasonal or white candles.

[willow garnet]

all the iap stuff is giving me flashbacks from genshin lmaoo

[runic path]

What if they removed all IAPs, but make you impossible to finish this season but only with extra candle packs? Are you agreeing this?

[radiant drum]

ere

[empty river]

h

[muted ibex]

No exactly !!! I miss the days when like. There wasn't such an emphasis on grind culture and YOU NEED CANDLES YOU NEED MORE its so mentally exhausting and I hyperfixated on sky for a bit as well and its so . God

[hybrid wedge]

lol Skybot adopting a cockney accent today

[gilded parrot]

What do you all want now

[empty river]

oh no its alive

[hybrid wedge]

For you to pronounce "here" with an H

[gilded parrot]

how many skies would a skybot bot if a skybot could bot skies?

[tawdry pine]

[bold tapir]

Sentient bot

[median pasture]

anyone know if a 'premium candle shop' has been mentioned before? i'm not a vet but this seems like different language than for normal iaps... does this mean there will be a different system for in app purchases?

[molten yoke]

I agree, either TGC changes their candle system so that players can earn more in less time or they have to lower cosmetic prices. 175 is absolutely absurd, I dont even have enough to spend on TS or normal constellation and these expensive events just keep coming

I was replying to a comment about rainbow prices, but the comment got lost***

[elder spade]

Please hack through their computers and put the scarf on the quest giver's tree

[proud beacon]

Is it possible to lower the prices at least for the IAPs

[blissful quest]

skybot making beta discussion a bit less chaosy
actually nvm

[wraith charm]

I’d think so I’m not too sure

[haughty shell]

175 candles for a cape that doesn't look exceptionally nice I have the candles but I feel like it isn't worth it

[river socket]

as someone who grinded to 2000 on live version i can tell this grind culture, its toxic and i mean it in the most honest way possible its toxic pushing urself that way is not healthy and despite all of that TGC has yet not provided a strong solution to the fact cr is the only way to get candles, prices keep rising leading to players to cr even more and causing more stress

[spark lance]

remove the iap or lower the prices or at least put the prince cosmetics in the ults and we’ll get less chaosy

[languid ocean]

Im glad a bit more people are talking sbout what they like abt the game. But with that said, alot of people are still talking abt the same topic since yesterday. Heres oreo....

[wind grotto]

How did you guys made a price mistake without game script. Or IAP mistake without game script. Don't make me laugh lol

[rotund hare]

I think I would just skip the cape lol I don’t want to use two hours to candle run all the maps everyday just for a cape it’s too tired

[last bane]

Its almost like they make it so expensive so people who dont have time or just dont cr will soend real money on candle packs to get it

[kindred perch]

yeah its very interesting to think about
if tgc changes the way we get candles that would change... everything

im very intrigued to see how the devs will react to all of this feedback in the community and i hope they hear us loud and clear

[noble kelp]

I recommend lower the price

[proud nexus]

these days i have no motivation

[sick pendant]

LORE CHAT LURKERS I HAVE A LORE BOMB

[spark lance]

How many candles can you earn in a day? 18? If that's the case you'd be grinding for 2 hours every day for 10 days... that's 20 hours...

[cosmic orchid]

oh wow, people literally make new discord accounts/join sky discord just to throw comments on beta

[orchid nexus]

I'm not sure what your question means, but I think you mean to be addressing it to developers, which I am not.

[misty fog]

did you know, orbit laugh bug has moved to live

[muted crescent]

Season of Le Petit Prince(No season item about Le Petit Prince)

[opaque mantle]

The moment we see Ktjn typing it's time for everyone to hide

[rose surge]

let's remember that the items being iap isn't final and it's still in testing, tgc would need time to see our feedback and make a choice. we shouldn't be getting this mad over something that isn't decided yet it would be a great choice to end this discussion since it isn't going to help at all

[fallow crater]

I feel like they should make more areas in the home world so we can explore new things instead of having them add one area to one place every season. It’s kind of exhausting even being in vault because of the amount of zero color it has other than blue. I don’t want to be rude but that area makes my eyes hurt lol.

[compact jetty]

TGC: We hope our players can spend more time with their friends and spend less time on grinding
Still TGC: HEY! LOOK AT THIS FANCY RAINBOW CAPE

[analog belfry]

This tbh. Little Prince's outfit or not, the truth is that the prince pack is just extremely plain, bland, green pajamas. $25 USD? They gotta be nuts. They need to at least throw some candles in to justify such a price tag on such a simple item.

[buoyant rock]

I think accepting this will only show that in the future it will be normal to take items from THE SEASON and make them IAPs

[hollow quest]

The cape isn't that fancy tho
Too basic for a 170+ candles cape

[spark lance]

the moment we see ktjn its time to type all of our complaints

[pallid cipher]

I kinda wish ALL the prices were lowered, especially hearts and candles : ( grind culture is so draining

[spark lance]

i can’t make myself go candle run lmao. like when i was just starting on prairie, i already wanted to stop because it’s getting repetitive. i don’t even wanna buy cosmetics from ts anymore because it doesn’t feel as rewarding than it does

[muted ibex]

Yeah god its so. My brain is fried . Tgc recognize your neurodiverse/busy/child players challenge

[runic path]

You are moving way slow in rock rain in the latest build. Looks like they are not changing eden, but instead they fix the problem that "you can give too much wl to statue"

[lilac solstice]

So question about the shared spaces, when the time runs out for you sharing, does your space stay until someone else shares? Or should it disappear as soon as the time runs out?

[round sandal]

I have a quick question

Are the capes and some of the cosmetics staying that dark grey color or have they just not colored it?

[orchid nexus]

please don't ry to encourage harassment or bullying of one member of the staff. The feedback channel is where complaints for devs should go

[dreamy inlet]

im honestly really exhausted with candle grinding. I might just go ftp all together. I don't want to keep supporting their high prices, because it's getting absurd. I understood with the merch prices (k i n d o f) because that takes materials to produce. But when an iap costs as much as the merch thats insane. And also the candle packs are so expensive. It is the furthest thing from worth it. But they get you at a point where you need to buy it if you want to get cool cosmetic, and im tired of it. screw cool cosmetic return to moth outfit /hj

[boreal shell]

they shouldn't change the price, those cosmetics should come included into the seasonal pass like always has been.

[haughty pine]

Well, I'm a bit late from typing, but yeah, this. I'm not terribly thrilled about multiple things in this update, but being able to give criticism while presenting yourself as a rational human being is a good skill to have — not just because it's a basic communications skill, but because it's also pragmatic. If you know how to communicate what you want without giving anyone any opportunity to disregard or brush off what you're saying, you are going to have people listen to you much more often. Contrary to what you might think, having a strong opinion does not require ad hominems. It's even possible to have a negative opinion and say that you dislike something or are frustrated with something, without resorting to ad hominems. I'd like to see people focus on communicating their feedback and making it clear what solutions they want TGC to put into place.

[bright portal]

I think this one was the one that hurt me the most. The cape is very symbolic to folks who want to express themselves yet they hiked up the price so much compared to previous event items. Arguably the days of feast table was cheaper and had recharging factor and this cape was suppose to celebrate something important for humanity

[obtuse pike]

Did Tgc need to change the UI? It's really uncomfortable. I want to go back to normal

[royal vapor]

Is the chaos over?

[rose narwhal]

Wanting some candles, heads to valley, sleep though race, fall asleep oh uh

[jaunty breach]

Why should we strive for somethingb so underwhelming as a rose and a spiky hair? Those do not define the little prince. He is a PRINCE not hair and a rose. When you think of the little prince, you dont see his hair as the most definable thing abt him. What you see is his green suit and his fox. Not his hair and the rose who did not treat him well.

[river socket]

TGC: so in order to acknowledge the diversity of our player base on pride month! We're gonna add a super expensive cape which will represent you + 2 TS prior to the even so u make sure to spend every candle and grind as a monster

(this is pure jokes btw)

[upbeat knoll]

you took the words right out of my mouth! excellent job on voicing exactly what i was thinking - don't worry about it, your lateness was worth it

[ocean heart]

Hey um whats the deal concerning prices in the IAP? 🌚 shouldnt they just put it in one big pack for 35 dollars maximum?? Why is it 60 usd plus the AP?

[spark lance]

i shouldn’t be saying this but honestly us getting mad=tgc having a bigger chance of knowing their decision sucks and most likely doing something to make it better at least
like look at the afk system

[twilit spindle]

Dont forget the amount of candles used before the cape unlocking..

[blazing sail]

And they could have made the rainbow cape a nice ultimate reward once you get all the other capes. Instead they gave us tier 2 capes that cost astronomical prices. :/

[rotund hare]

I just realised we never got any rewards lol like other games they would give you their in-game items for free or in-game currency Whenever sky has like events or anniversary event they made us candle run to buy even more They never really gave us any rewards

[proud nexus]

its soooo boring running the same place every single day for an hour just for 10 candles

[visual yoke]

FREE COSMETICS for all 🎊🎊🎊 cosmetic party

[blissful quest]

i just wanted to say i absolutely hate candlerunning/grinding because its really exhausting and i have no interests for it. i have multiple times forced myself to candle run and its just tiring tbh especially because they make the cosmetics expensive [for me atleast] it forced me to candle run and do something that i hated which is why i barely have any cosmetics i just want to play the game peacefully and vibe instead of grinding 2 hours a day 🗿

[halcyon ermine]

Guys did the bug with the quest get fixed?

[sick pendant]

The seasonal area could be a realm of it's own tho

[signal folio]

More proposed compromises (thoughts?):

1. Add a fair amount of candles to the IAPs
2. If 1 is not possible: reduce IAP price as much as feasible
3. Give more free seasonal cosmetics since seasonal IAPs are present
4. Give AP purchasers better Ults so that they don't get mad that F2P are getting more items

[compact jetty]

At least we get 2x free spells

[true bone]

I prefer the 4 option, or atleast just have the rose and fox backpack as iAP

[cosmic orchid]

new seasonal area is sorta bigger than or the same as isle

[spark lance]

how are complaints harrasment? are you actively trying to misinterpret what i'm saying, because i was pretty clear in what i said.

[noble kelp]

Don’t think so

hi Alex I just wanna thank u for being a cool and nice mod here, I appreciate it

Being a mod is hard, especially with chaos like this so thanks for being here : D

[last bane]

Season of boycott

[runic path]

Seasonal IAP should not present at the first stage. What are we talking about? Is this a event or a season?

[spark lance]

targeting a specific person is harassment

[mellow tide]

Honestly (don't hate me for this) I've been playing since Sanctuary and never really had issues with the candle grind, even when I took a few months break from running every day, to once or twice a week, I was still able to buy all the cosmetics I wanted from the TS without using real money. It's probably just me though since I'm good at turning my brain onto autopilot

[dreamy inlet]

honestly now that i think of it i would love a minigame that you could get candles from. and something that is just more fun. if we had more ways to get candles that would make it so much more fun. Imagine being able to play mingames with friends like maybe races or something .

[muted ibex]

Tgc: hmm today I will do a little trolling and make the cape for pride month extremely expensive, thus profiting off the lgbt community (clueless)

[orchid nexus]

You specifically said that when ktjn joins chat, that's a time to direct all complaints at them. That's not productive, and it's not the right way to give feedback. Ktjn is one of the people who reads all the feedback channel posts and delivers them to the rest of the team, so if you want ktjn to read something, put it in the feedback channel

[bright portal]

Ah yes, thanks tgc for giving me something that lasts a whopping 10 minutes in the game. Appreciate you 😌 👌

[opaque mantle]

It would be nice if after finishing the quests the cosmetics could start gaining color

[kindred perch]

honestly we really need a new way cosmetics are given out OR they change the way we get candles cause this is just.. im sure everyone is tired

f2pers cant get the easy way out of anything lol... already said this but i really think that we should all make sure that tgc really hears us on this since most f2ps are really counting on this whole commotion

[brisk wing]

solo players would ✨suffer✨

[rose narwhal]

We do have races, it’s in valley but doing it everyday gets boring

[hasty dew]

“child players” im dying lmbo
but yeah, this is true. I’ve met people as young as 7 on Sky. Do you really think a 7 year old, much less their parents, is going to have the money for all that iap? And if they do, do you actually think they’ll let their 7 year old child spend 20-50 bucks a month on a game? 🤨

[rotund hare]

Same I just feel like they keep changing unnecessary things the UI before looks so clean now it’s just...

[simple oracle]

Are we still unable to get the sassy stance?

[tawdry pine]

Targeting is basically harassment?? Ktjn is only 1 person, all the devs see what's placed on feedback

[calm tundra]

Hmm this sounds fun but at the same time those minigame will be considered "boring" as the time goes by just like how we get sick and tired of candle run nowadays.

[molten yoke]

When Sky resembles capitalism a little too close

[proud nexus]

still so much homework on top of it

[topaz veldt]

Can also be a matchup type minigame with strangers, then a place to meet those strangers after the game

[lost swift]

Tgc hear me out let the little prince cosmetic be ultimate gif 🤜🤛

[signal folio]

Maybe they could apply the "call for help" function like with the Assembly quests to the hypothetical mini games?

[cold cradle]

Little Prince Season without little prince

[upbeat knoll]

the word you're looking for is "rainbow capitalism" ^^

[boreal shell]

I want can't believe they're expecting regular players spend $60 now

[river socket]

as a solo player i encourage this, i just hate to honk spam and no one comes to my aid, that would be pretty useful

[stone swan]

If you want the prince, pay for it.

[cosmic orchid]

sassy will still be sassy towards us until Tuesday bsince the dves are on a weekend holiday

[sweet current]

They almost profit every event/festival

[spark lance]

everyone can disagree with my thoughts but like i understand that video games is just another form or way for people who manage it to make money, the same way companies with other purposes do, but isn’t tgc getting a bit greedy here? i’m no expert but i can see a lot of people thinking about quitting here and won’t that just make the game less popular and make less people invest their real money in the game’s overly expensive purchases once in a while?

[plain shale]

I just wanted a violin in this season, so unfair

[tight bloom]

Season of Paying for The Little Prince

[last bane]

As a person with pretty bad adhd i cant force myself to do something that i find boring so thats why i never have more than like 10 candles i cant force myself to cr every day and even when i do cr its just Prairie vally(skipping races) and vault on top of all that im a solo player so i dont even have friends to keep me company while doing it or help when i dont feel like cr

[ember cedar]

Oh god it's chaos all over again

[south oyster]

My parents let me buy iaps!….with my own money

[runic path]

Sorry can I pay 60$ candle in exchange of 60$

[sick pendant]

Oh boi oh boi this chaos will get us into the second lock down

Yeah I may need money for food but check out these sweet cosmetics ❗❗❗ /j

[orchid nexus]

it's a huge amount of feedback to sort through. The comms team reads through it, categorizes, throws out purely unconstructive things, and delivers to the rest of the team

[rose narwhal]

I’m pretty sure being a prince gets you enough money, why take this much from us

[bright portal]

This is the asian parenting life, even if u have ur own money u need to ask ur parents first 😌

[hybrid wedge]

It's available for multiple people in the dev team, particularly the community devs

[ocean heart]

Why are they making the pride thingy so expensive 👁👄👁 also why is this new season so out of place 👁👄👁

[lone night]

Hahaha

[blazing sail]

It’s such a mouthful to say on all my videos, too.

[opaque mantle]

Goodluck tgc staff and mods, you guys must be tired and swamped

[spark lance]

i expect the prices to be expensive but for 3 iaps in a season, i find it a bit strange

i agree, it's pretty overwhelming. i mean, $60 for everything?? uuugh i cant anymore

[viscid marten]

Do we need to go through Eden to be able to access the previous spirits

[shy ore]

How's it going?

[pine remnant]

i kind of wish we could have "daily comissions" and "world quests" similar to genshin impact. daily comissions change daily, and world quests are done by talking to npcs and stuff and helping around the world and in return you get rewards that help you progress. why cant we have stuff like that ? in GI at least the quests are often new and they have enough it doesnt get boring

[median pasture]

i've always felt there was something morally wrong with essentially profiting off social justice movements such as pride - i guess i can't say much about the iap items since they're going to charity or something, but the cape seems excessive to me. especially considering ts occuring around the same time, it seems like it was made that expensive in order to sell candle packs.

[wicked harness]

i’ve been playing since rhythm and i’m the same way :o i’ve definitely gotten burnt out but it usually only lasts for a month and this new cr system has made things so much easier and i’ve been able to save a lot of candles but that’s just me

[pallid cipher]

so like... how do I access the previous spirits?

[royal vapor]

I prefer they kick the little prince out of this season and just make this season about the vault

[rose surge]

my dad would already kill me for playing games no he doesn't know that i play sky i don't see a way i can ask for iap

[spark lance]

theyre literally on vacation lol. thats the exact opposite of tired

[wraith charm]

Season of you have too be a prince

[lilac oriole]

Just make the days of little prince and leave ap alone 😩

[rugged geyser]

I really just wanna say if it’s such an issue just stop playing, you don’t have to be there for every season, it’s a collab, they have to make profit, we can only hope it won’t follow into other seasons

[cosmic orchid]

Me: I don't think I have enough money
Little Prince: Then you are unlucky

[spark lance]

i literally said that to a friend this morning
also
a lot of us are willing to spend hard earned money on virtual cosmetics that doesn’t actually contribute at all to gameplay, but the prices do be discouraging

[last bane]

if they wanna make evrything about the little prince an IAP they should just change the season name and do something that adds to the lore and keeep the little prince stuff as an IAP

[river socket]

hey the prince did nothing wrong, its the unfair prices not the prince give ma boi some respect

[spark lance]

they’re on vacation because they haven’t had a break lol

[sick pendant]

TGC: We went through all the trouble and made a collab with a famous book the little prince!!!

Players: throw it into the garbage bin

[tribal crystal]

Days of the Little Prince

[dreamy inlet]

That's what people are doing if there's no change. But it's better to try to fix things than to just abandon them.

[upbeat knoll]

i do not understand how people expect game developers to be working 24/7 and also be outputting a good product for the entire duration of that time: you cannot have it both ways

[ember cedar]

I love how it's chaos here while beta screenshots are just posting some peaceful pictures

[signal folio]

In addition to ⬆️ im going to say yet again that the bloom cape was 75 and arguably more complex (new cape shape, gradient). There is no reason for the rainbow cape to cost 175 PLUS all the candles needed to pay for the trail spells to get to the cape.

[hybrid wedge]

It's not a "vacation". Monday is a holiday in the U.S. All it means is one extra day on the weekend.

[spark lance]

next update: Skykids will have an energy bar to enter the realms, in case the energy bar runs out wait 2 hours or deposit 3 dollars to have energy instantly

[orchid nexus]

fwiw, comments telling other people to take a break from the game will generally be received as insulting, so please refrain from that. It's perfectly ok for people to express displeasure here, in a respectful and constructive way

[spark lance]

#sky-memes this also applies to visitors who visit this channel

Season of suffering from capitalism

Yall the companies are profiting off us (the lgbt community) again❗❗ representation 🥰🥰🥰😻

[molten yoke]

they have weekend days off, thats how all jobs are. Its not like they're doing their jobs 24/7

[rose crown]

I can see it. One way is that because they didn't even bother adding the recent used emotes back yet. They could've done that, but they didn't. Most likely because they were tired

[twilit spindle]

I forgot Dreams my bad

[warped geyser]

season of EA

[lone night]

Because they want to exchange our love for them for more money

[hybrid wedge]

@wind grottoRude reactions and responses to people's posts are uncalled for.

[cold cradle]

I just wonder why tgc sells all the little prince's fashion for a fee when it's his season. not complaining yet

[hollow quest]

Well, if they don't change the price that's fine ^^
They will lose some potential buyers and they will be forced to make the price lower because only a little amount of people buy the IAP >:D

[shy ore]

Man, you made my greeting message laughing.

[jovial bramble]

If you don't want to pay, quit.
Game dies.
Wait no-

[spark lance]

werent they gonna donate 100% to charity?? please educate me

[plain shale]

If you ever feel useless, just remember the next season's Adventure Pass

[sleek pelican]

It's back in beta...

[rose narwhal]

He’s a prince, his drip is gonna be more expensive then my wallet

[steady pond]

wdym recent emotes are back on beta

[bright portal]

Yes, the rainbow flower 100% net profits goes to charity

@burnt hound they usually announced the charity of choice when they finish calculating the total amount

[elder spade]

Whom are they gonna donate it to?
Edit ik it for the LGBT peeps but I'm asking who, like to sick lgbt?

[burnt hound]

have they say which charity？

[viscid marten]

I just want the sword suit-

[wraith charm]

Lower price= more will buy
Higher price= .... not many there will buy....

[rugged geyser]

I don’t see why the devs would change the prices, again they have to make profit, and I get that. It’s just a season some will have to miss out on, no biggie.

[cosmic orchid]

[woeful harbor]

Part of me doesn't want to care about all of this. I joined Sky for the experience, and I valued Season of Dreams so much because of the story. This season still gives us that for free, if we receive a fraction of the message, or the feeling I'm hoping for, that's what I care about.
But I don't really want to settle for just letting this slide by, either. I don't want to see the company that made some of the games that I value so much just turn into a creature that tries to leech out as much money & playtime as it can from its players. Sky's getting tiring. When cosmetics are all that a player has left to look for after finishing the story, doing this only hurts the experience. The way that candle running becomes so routine, the way that it's unironically justifiable for our complaints to be about a few pants and a scarf, that sucks.
It's not that I want things to be how they were before, I just don't want them to be what they are now. If you're a player that's already "finished" the game, then, assuming these issues persist, Sky's going to lose the vision of what it used to be.

[visual yoke]

next season: you want a new area? sure, 49$ to unlock it and 149$ to enjoy it for an hour a day

[spark lance]

sky doing a great job in this collab to make people hate the little prince, which im sure wasn’t the intended purpose for the little prince to collab

[round hull]

im, starting to feel really bad for tgc, because i was scrolling through insta and i saw some really mean things being said about the current uh, situation in the official server,, really hoping this mess gets cleared soon because things have gotten to a level that makes me really uncomfy,,

[river socket]

agreed, just saying "just quit" its just another way of saying "shut up" to someone else's opinion so i highly dont recommend saying those comments to others since its very annoying to say the least

lmao this slowmode is eternal omagad

[cosmic mist]

The way everyone’s been so aggressive here lately is kinda upsetting, yes I agree that the current situation with the new season is tough but the sky community I know isn’t always at each other’s throats many have already said it but let’s share our opinions respectfully and have open minds

[wicked harness]

pls put this in feedback i think a lot of us would love this as well !!

[sick pendant]

Yeah let's pray to megabird this chat doesn't explode till Monday and plot a revolution. Its been almost 20 hours and the chat is still quite angry

munching popcorn intensifies

[opaque mantle]

Imagine if TGC adds a subscription in sky

wheeze

[royal vapor]

The little prince is worthy of respect, but I don't think TGC put his hair in game pass and put his body in iap is respect…I can't feel they respect their own vault and sky stories too…I'm really disappointed about this two things but the map and the season quest do excellent. I can forgot my disappointed

[ember cedar]

Beta chat is scary sometimes

[haughty pine]

One of my major frustrations with Sky right now is that there are too many events. I don't think it's that TGC is being purposefully hypocritical about their "oh, new candle system for more social time!" system, as much as they're caught between trying to balance multiple groups of people who are making contradictory demands.

The reason that the candle system didn't do much to fix the problem is because they're constantly putting things out. If you want to participate in all of the events, you have to work the new CR system harder than it was intended. But they're putting out things because there's a constant demand from people to "have more content," because they feel like they don't have enough to do otherwise. The problem that this creates is that TGC is putting out a lot of content in order to meet those demands, but 1.) it makes it hard for TGC to handle the content in the best way possible because they have to focus on quantity over quality and 2.) it makes players feel overworked and exhausted.

Part of it is less that there's malicious intent on TGC's part and more that, in trying to meet all of our demands, they're struggling to meet any of them. I guess the question we should ask ourselves when it comes to candle-running and events is this: when are we going to ask TGC to put out more content, and when are we going to ask TGC to take more time on content?

[dreamy inlet]

I will! i literally just wrote in feedback id have to wait for slowmode lol. (and also races were an example)

[upbeat knoll]

wait, it's not an actual vacation they're having?

i thought the devs were getting a week off at minimum with people's word choices in here, why are people using the word "vacation" for a mandatory holiday

[last bane]

Tgc taking a leaf from animal jams book

[rotund hare]

Imagine in the future we would need to buy the pass to get into the new area like you need to buy the office cape to get into office

[mellow tide]

Reminder that Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, a DLC that adds an extremely expansive and fun addition to the basegame's story mode, doubling the offline content, and is widely regarded as one of the best DLC to ever be released... costs less than the two cosmetics in the Little Prince pack...
