[dull vigil]

The crash

I can't go inside

[carmine thorn]

I haven't crashed in Eden in ages, but seems Samsung devices still have an odd crash in places other than just Eden.

[dull vigil]

Other releams crash too

[zenith cloud]

Sometime playing Beta is a pain for me due to lagging and crashing, but I have to be active since I need to finish my job testing

[bright portal]

Ayy updooot

[peak mason]

I don't see the updoot yet is it still being typed

[stark cloud]

Updoot. But I'm android user
Edit: Nahh me not waiting more. Updoot is here

[tender oasis]

I got it on android

[sick pendant]

Hold on its conspiracy time

You know how in blogpost they said that and I quote

goes to website to Copy the quote, ignis will be back in a second

[carmine thorn]

Android got updoot? Clears play store cache oh, so we do have the update.

[tropic radish]

/Huh, android updoot ?
Arrived under 1 hour ?
Impossible !

[limpid crown]

I wonder what's in this build 👀

[carmine thorn]

Bug fixes and improvements.... Hmm, let's see if it still works...

!whatsnewinbeta

[gilded parrot]

General bug fixes and improvements

[peak mason]

it's not even in the updoot channel yet

[tender oasis]

Ehh nope … still crashing

[crude turret]

skybot can quote messages?

[zenith cloud]

When the old bugs fixed, new bugs released

[peak mason]

it's like whack a mole

[solemn cedar]

The update seems doesn't fixed anything... Still crashing everywhere...

[swift mortar]

The summer guide is not showing still

[exotic spear]

Was about to ask what to give in feedback if I still see two emote columns. But I see new updates now so I’ll wait til after that’s done. Maybe it’s fixed

[bright portal]

They gave sanctuary one extra candle cake, wax in sanctuary is op. 😂

[crude turret]

if you still have two columns, it would be appreciated if you reported it with your phone specifications too

[finite coral]

Where

[crude turret]

10 candles full chevron only prairie confirmed?!

[tropic radish]

Sanctuary still do be hoarding those candle cakes

[bright portal]

Forget what i said, they move the candle cake from the peak of the mountain to the area i screenshotted in #beta-screenshots-videos

[crude turret]

I don't wanna be sceptical all the time, but I kinda liked the cake on the top
it felt like a korok seed on the top of a mountain from botw, or some neat location, you know? I dunno

[exotic spear]

Still 2 columns. On my way to report 😁

[peak creek]

is the summer spirit already gone?? :(

noooo i wanted the umbrella

[crude turret]

the umbrella isn't from the spirit anyways...
but I guess if that event ends the iaps are also gone for now and replaced with summer lights?

[empty river]

it seems like theyre two seperate events, but we'll see when they do the official blog

[exotic spear]

I did my best to send my report. No matter how many I do I still feel I do it wrong😂

[empty river]

follow the instructions the bot gives you and the report should be ok! it looks fine to me

[spice mason]

The world is still immensely broken.

[exotic spear]

I hope nothing better than the umbrella comes out. So many paid items I have to decide which to buy👀

[naive solar]

imagine being able to candle run on beta
this message was posted by the samsung gang

[empty river]

imagine candle running on beta
this messages was posted by me, i have 2 candle

[torn girder]

it’s possible to be poor in beta? man

[exotic spear]

I wish they give us free candle packs every now and then. Not enough to stop cr, but like when they want us to test event items and were too candle poor to get them. I’m not as good at managing candles in beta for some reason

[bright portal]

So far, seems not much apparent bugs have been fixed in this build. Valley maze , Hand holding and piggyback situation not fixed.
Only thing i found was sanctuary peak mountain candle cake changed positions.

[opaque swan]

did they do a secret update?

I see no info for the build..

[empty river]

last update was yesterdays

[naive solar]

New update?

[spice mason]

I think they did do a new update.. it was there for me.. tho. Nothing changed. At all.

[kindred fossil]

Yes there’s a new update, but it’s not always the update notes come soon after. Give it some time

[exotic spear]

Mine just said ui improvements and bugs. But seems the same

[sick pendant]

This way we can match the item with the character of the spirit, giving a nice narrative touch to the flow of new content. 

match the item with the character of the spirit

So there's going to be

Pipe - ts in wasteland (my bet is crab call)
2 ts's from Sanctuary - the "bed?" what is it called, and the chairs

And what was the 4th prop?

[exotic spear]

Stone fire thing maybe?

[naive solar]

Pipe - ts in wasteland (my bet is crab call)
We're going to rebuild Wasteland's factories? :flushed:

[empty river]

ohh so its a smaller update, probably done before they could find a fix for all messy graphics going on rn. and they dont always do patch notes, not unless theres something noteworthy besides fixes and improvements

[faint comet]

That stone fire thingy brazier knockoff is probably Wasteland related too

[opaque swan]

I still question how these builds have broke Samsung players games to the point of basically unplayable.. (including mine)

[carmine thorn]

Samsung is most likely not following industry standard Vulkan calls in their kernel.

[pale junco]

Yeah the matching thing sounded sus, because ts are chosen randomly so-
Unless they'll release it only when the matching ts comes which well we know how that is :SkyLOL:

[opaque swan]

industry standard? what does that mean?

[empty river]

sometimes things like that happen, theres even been worse bugs, and bugs that dont even let you open the game at all

[exotic spear]

I doubt they match. But how do they choose which prop comes first🤔

[carmine thorn]

It could be something with Samsung's Game booster. There are a lot of possibilities why only Samsung devices are affected.

[opaque swan]

a lot of the beta bug reports are from Samsung players

[naive solar]

I think travelling spirits are randomized in the sense that they're chosen at the start of a month and then everything about it is prepared afterwards

[spice mason]

In my. Over a year of testing I've never seen anything like this. •n•

[carmine thorn]

Vulkan is an open source video renderer. That doesn't stop companies adding code to it just for their devices.

[static saffron]

I have 15

[naive solar]

I have +

[pale junco]

I think they added that to give us another lore crumb but it's not a good one

[bright portal]

I think the last time i ever cr in beta was the introduction of the chevron system.

[empty river]

there was this one time where a massive graphic glitch went to live (didnt show up in beta) and the devs raced to get it fixed, drop the beta build so it could be tested, and drop it live, all in less than 12 hours i think? probably even less iirc

[crude turret]

well, there was a time there was -, no? so having just + is already nice

[naive solar]

I usually do SC runs, however I still check out the other parts of a realm in case a crash happens in that particular area. I don't go home either

[pale junco]

Oh? Wasn't it in wasteland, i think i read something about it

[static saffron]

Did they really move the candle cake on top of the mountain in Sanctuary?

[sick pendant]

OK srsly what was the 4th prop I forgot

Pipe
Seats
Bed

[empty river]

other seat?

[spice mason]

I don't remember this ... when did it happen ?

[bright portal]

The brazier

[exotic spear]

Stone fire

[pale junco]

The wasteland style lamp

[sick pendant]

TGC I AM READY TO FIGHT DON'T TEST ME

[tropic radish]

The most biggest and baddest visual glitch I've heard was... it was so bad, there's epilepsy warnings spoilered and everything was just flashing colours
Was that the one Giccix was talking about ?

[crude turret]

I saw a funny torch stone thingy
you know the last area of wasteland? there are some stone-cube-fire-pots-with-holes-

[timid bough]

sky went into party mode

[static saffron]

Wait what's the topic rn I'm so lost

[bright portal]

You know beta is active when you are lost by the topics in the chat.

[empty river]

19th of may last year according to #known-issues

[static saffron]

Well yeah I literally just got on discord

[spice mason]

There WAS that one. But iirc it stuck around longer than 12 hours. And would only happen on occasion.

[kindred fossil]

Oh I remember, that was terrible

[carmine thorn]

There was one for Android 11 when it released. I couldn't play the game due to the flashing for two months. Beta and live.

[sick pendant]

This way we can match the item with the character of the spirit, giving a nice narrative touch to the flow of new content. 

match the item with the character of the spirit

So there's in my theory going to be

Pipe - ts in wasteland (my bet crab call)
The seats - hiking grouch
The bed - grateful shell collector
The firpit - belonging papa round 3

[spice mason]

Okay so i was still kinda moth at that point. Would make sense why I don't remember it too much.

[static saffron]

And apparently android got another update???

[carmine thorn]

Pipe could also be Kabuki in Forest Brooke.

[sick pendant]

OMG IT DID I'M UPDATING RIGHT NOW...

[bright portal]

Latest build is 173240 right? Just to check if I'm in the correct build.

[kindred fossil]

Beach chairs is Dismiss cause he’s always on vacation 😗

[naive solar]

that's correct

[carmine thorn]

Would make sense Dismiss is on Vacation. He was dismissed from duty for an undisclosed amount of time... I still hear the cries of Skykids wanting him to return.

[sick pendant]

Mine shows 173164 (haven't finished updating yet)

[naive solar]

This build still has crashes

[bright portal]

If you gather all the skykids tears from crying for dismiss and juggler it's equivalent to the infinite sea in sanctuary.

[naive solar]

I have noticed something with Sanctuary in particular. The ground suddenly changes at the entrance and my frame rate drops significantly. Then it crashes

[spice mason]

You laugh, but those are 2 of the 4 spirits I need to have.. everything I CAN get. OTL

It's been 8 weeks without anything I need..

[sick pendant]

if dismiss is the only ts you need i guess you can say you're dismissed from cr

ba-dum-tsss

[naive solar]

Dermelles#2696 left the server.

[crude turret]

[probably more than 200k people in this server felt that like a truck]

[empty river]

[terse quail]

so uhhh what is the new location of the even spirit?>>

[naive solar]

Void.

I saw it. Before my very eyes. Blackness came and swallowed the spirit whole. I cannot get out. I am stuck in here. It's just me, juggler, summer guide and dismiss. Help me

[tropic radish]

Are you sure that wasn't a wave of a thousand krills that swept you and the rest away ?

[kindred fossil]

I actually am... I don’t have much to worry about

[torn girder]

also i just noticed that home button in emote menu doesn’t work as return shrine anymore

[naive solar]

I have no idea why but I think the "Home” text is much more pronounced(?)

[torn girder]

huh?

[cursive tinsel]

Are you telling me the return to realm using home button anywhere in home was a bug before... that's just been fixed?

[torn girder]

i have no idea tbh

[orchid yacht]

it allowed easy capeless, so they probably removed it
or it could be a new bug

[glass spoke]

hello everyone, the beta update said they moved the days of summer spirit but now i can't find it can someone tell me where the is it?

[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

[carmine thorn]

Days of summer ended in beta. We're in a "brief intermission" until days of summer lights starts.

[glass spoke]

aah gotchu i havnt been online that much i had no idea

[elfin raft]

Maybe they are on the way to the live version of the game (no date for the event though)

[spark lance]

Someone still CAN'T get into Eden?

[carmine thorn]

Don't forget to bug report.

[vapid briar]

The Days of Summer spirit only moved a few steps from their previous position. The reason no one can find them is because days of summer is over.

[thorn imp]

Update

[covert hemlock]

Updoot time

[sick pendant]

Why was the decorative umbrella removed....it was so cute

if the reason is it being a prop that you can place instead of a regular umbrella then can you guys please retexture or recolour it at least?

[honest fractal]

Castle is gone I was hoping that it can stay there the whole summer (correction: only for my alt which never been to Eden)

[sick pendant]

castle is still there

[honest fractal]

Oh right, I logged in with my one wing alt

Apparently acct that never been to Eden won’t see the castle, my main acct can still see it

[dry flax]

While there have been season polishes since last few updates... How/who are testing those? 🤔

We can't redo quests even for the purposes of beta

[wheat panther]

Makes me think of my moth friends that are too afraid of Eden... will they not be able to enjoy the Days of Summer to the fullest?

[honest fractal]

I think they won’tbut maybe I’m wrong, cause my alt haven’t go to new season area as well, Idk which area is the key

[turbid root]

uh ... guys? Does the beta work well for all of you after the update? I crash at every location except the house. Don't know where to type it, hopefully I'm at the right place ;-;

[wheat panther]

Mine works fine. I haven't experienced any crashes in awhile. I'm on iOS though if that makes a difference?

[keen crescent]

Same goes for me

[turbid root]

Maybe makes. I'm on android. Before the update I only had problem with crashing in the second location in the forest and the Eden. Now it's everywhere

[turbid root]

Ohhh, thanks that I'm not alone. I hope they will fix it soon

[keen crescent]

Same ! Cant really do anything in sky other than just chill in home.

[honest fractal]

I’m on IOS too, didn’t crash so far

[keen crescent]

Seems like it's an android thing then, most of the crashes are being reported in android bugs

[turbid root]

I'm not even surprised
Hopefully they won't make this live sky update before fixing it, otherwise there will be apocalypse XD

[carmine thorn]

If you look, seems more of a Samsung only issue rather than Android.

[turbid root]

I have Samsung, so yeah, can relate

[carmine thorn]

All reports of crashing are from Samsung devices. My Pixel hasn't crashed at all in any of the 0.14.5 builds

[timid bough]

my mi device also haven't had a crash at all

[fervent storm]

Anyone has the black screen problem?

[wheat panther]

two column menu folks, do we still need to report the two column bug for every build until resolved?

[carmine thorn]

I would suggest to. Just in case they made changes to the UI but it didn't affect your device.

[fervent storm]

Is it a bug? I thought that's how It suppose to be for Android?

[turbid root]

Not at all. Depends on device. I have normal one

[dry flax]

Likewise. Mine hasn't crashes its in android 10, non - Samsung

[buoyant berry]

What is the last thing “decline invite” from #beta-announcements ?

[fickle stirrup]

I believe for friends invites

[buoyant berry]

You can’t “decline” it tho

[fickle stirrup]

There isn't anything else though
Wait, THE FRIENDSHIPS UNLOCKS?

[plush osprey]

Did they remove the big candle at the peak of sanc?

[carmine thorn]

Switch to Switch friend invites can be declined. If they are declined, it locks those two Nintendo accounts from being friends, since switch to switch invites are one time.

[plush osprey]

Oh i just saw on screenshot that they moved it 💀

[haughty pine]

I mean... I don't quite know what I'm looking for, but I could go do them I suppose and see if I notice anything. I spent the entire season-testing period derping around Eden and also everywhere but the season area (I like looking to see if I can find random bugs that arise in other areas) so I... uh... still haven't done them... Does anyone have any idea what sort of polishes have happened?

[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!

[haughty pine]

Oh, hush.

[livid jasper]

just updated and got a black screen in the login screen-
even after finished loading, its still a black screen

[cosmic orchid]

I crash when exiting Valley, Forest and Wasteland Social spaces now, along with entering Eden and Cave of Prophecy

[grizzled kayak]

Yeah I think it was removed before season of lp, the candle for chatting right?

[wheat panther]

the white chatting candle was removed awhile ago but what they're talking about is the big red treasure cake of candles that was next to the two beach chairs (where the white chatting candle was).

[wheat panther]

someone posted a screenshot of it earlier today. you'll see it is now at the top of where timid bookworm spirit is (that first floating island with a wl when you enter Sanctuary)

[rain delta]

Does the seasonal area have music now? ;-;

[pure tapir]

The sumer spirit guide should be not anymore at home now? I only see the TS

[knotty bloom]

They’re still looking for reports of the 2 column emote bar correct?

[wheat panther]

correct now we are in a brief intermission while we wait for the Days of Summer Lights to begin

[vapid linden]

can we see each other’s notes while playing now?

[pure tapir]

Well at least we could see that cute haircut of the summer spirit once 🥰

[lament mica]

Here’s the link (took me ages to find it, so I thought it could be helpful to have it):

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[static saffron]

Nope

[lament mica]

Not in the normal way. A work around I found was to activate a music sheet and have your friend join in. You should be able to see each other’s notes and if you turn music off in settings the music sheet song won’t bother you
Unfortunately, for someone like me with an attention disorder this is not very helpful since you can still see the music sheet guides moving around

[cosmic orchid]

Add entering Vault in the list

basically I can't go anywhere without crashing

[frail mantle]

Are there shared spaces in all worlds?

[trail pike]

Now beta crash totally

[cosmic orchid]

currently only Prairie social space, office and Treehouse

[static saffron]

Have any moto users crashed in the recent builds yet? I haven't

[plush osprey]

Thank you! Yeah i just seen it earlier. I wonder what makes them move it 😂

I kinda find it annoying that when you guide someone and they went afk until the z’s comes out, it automatically lets go of the hand.

[lament mica]

Whaaaat??? Really?

Does that happen at the 2 min mark?

[minor falcon]

guide with the guiding feature? or just holding hands with a friend?

[spark lance]

Same with a friend. :(

[rain delta]

😭😢

[rain knoll]

Where is shared spaces in prairie

[gilded parrot]

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

[sleek pelican]

Social area left side?

[vapid briar]

it shouldn't require progress to eden, but an account should reach valley before it does show up. a lot of content is tied to reaching that point so as not to overwhelm moths with too much at once before they get a hang of things

[wispy venture]

I know the umbrella at home it's supposed to be removed but the spirit as well??

[haughty pine]

I'm a moto user, but I haven't loaded up the new update yet. Is there a crashing problem I should be aware of?

[sleek pelican]

#beta-discussion message

[spark lance]

Hello, testers! In the recent #news post for the upcoming Sky anniversary (https://bit.ly/Sky2ndBday) there is this artwork showing a party and featuring a moth with a wrench as a prop. I couldn’t but read this as a symbol made for the beta testing players who help to bug hunt all the stuff before the live release. So I hope you all got this little symbol at heart. Best wishes, a live skykid. 🛠️

[vapid briar]

the umbrella was removed from the terrain because folks thought the item would be place-able like other shared space prop items which could be misleading. unfortunately, that functionality doesn't exist in time for this event, but it's definitely something we'll add to the list of considerations in the future.

Days of Summer is a multi-phase event, and the Summer Guide is only there for phase one.

[carmine thorn]

That's just the patch notes moth. They're the staple of live update messages in #news although, a wrench prop would fit my OC

[static saffron]

Samsung users have been crashing these recent builds, so I was wondering if motos are crashing as well, turns out we aren't

[spark lance]

Aww. Meh. Nvm!

[hollow shore]

how much is the new anniversary hat?

[carmine thorn]

The #news article link has prices. Since the anniversary event is no longer in beta and has been announced, it might be best to ask questions about the anniversary in live channels, like #questions-and-help.

[gritty wyvern]

Those decorative flags still have the assembly bag

[lyric kite]

I guess they're using the Assembly bag to indicate that those items are intended mainly for the shared spaces feature. I'm still not really a fan of it though

[haughty pine]

Yeah no, I loaded up and played some and it worked fine for me.

Also, I'm curious: what have been y'alls experiences with the translator engine so far? It was the thing I was really excited to get into beta for because I'm a language nerd, but I just got my first chance to use it with a Chinese player. I was actually impressed by the fact that I could understand what they were saying pretty well, since most East Asian languages are known for being very difficult for translation engines to translate into English and vice versa, and Chinese is notoriously hard, but they couldn't read what I was saying and were dipping offline to use Google Translate. However, I don't know if they were using the translation button or not. They might not have known it was there? How has it worked for all of you?

[spark lance]

How much the sky anniversary?

[carmine thorn]

I haven't tested the translation feature. I made it my mission to not use words in beta and only emotes. It's been working quite well.

[tawdry pine]

#news

[spark lance]

I mean how much the hat cost

[lament belfry]

it’s mentioned in the article

[haughty pine]

That is an interesting goal.

[daring jewel]

how do you summon the krill in the ||office||

[carmine thorn]

The krill has to be active. Like during Days of Mischief had a darkness plant to summon the toilet krill in the office.

[zealous badger]

I've only ever seen people "Summon" it by constantly firing the canon on the roof or going to space when it's space day. Sometimes it randomly comes out when I'm there, but I don't think there is a specific trigger.

[graceful crow]

Whos going to Eden for the ultimate quest?

[boreal shell]

why there is no weasel spirit in home?

[zealous badger]

We are still testing the other mechanics with the TS' so it's not coming to Beta.

[carmine thorn]

It's in #beta-announcements #beta-announcements message

[sick pendant]

Can you guys in that case retextured the umbrella or give it another colour to make it appear as different item?

Because the area without the umbrella seems empty....it was the cherry on top

[crude turret]

if it's for cuteness I don't mind being deceived, yes...
-kitro, who didn't think the same phrase through for more dangerous situations

[stark yew]

i think some don't know about the translation feature
i got asked how i could read chinese once, and when i told them i used the in-app function they seemed confused and asked me how
i find it very useful though! it messes up the translations only sometimes, in my experience ^^ and when it does it's usually understandable anyways

[sick pendant]

The umbrella was the splash of colour the expansion desparately needs now.

It's way too dull now.....

Maybe change it to reddish and make it a prop that will appear in future with the functionality described above?

[shy ore]

Is anyone of u cannot escape the black screen?

[sick pendant]

But for candles tho not an IAP f

[crude turret]

from what I understood they could plan on some prop with that functionality in the future, but not for this umbrella this time
honestly, I'm fine if we had an stationary and prop versions of the same umbrella where the first one is purely for a nice environment for the event

[timid bough]

inb4 the sanctuary parasol is sold as a prop

[limpid canyon]

I saw that there was a shell accessory like the flower from days of rainbow,I wanna ask how much is it

[timid bough]

2 dollars

[carmine thorn]

Please keep in mind, beta prices are subject to change before hitting live.

[zealous badger]

Ugh, can’t wait for them to release in live. Buying the Umbrella for sure. I’ma buy that shell too.

[spark lance]

Ohh ok

[carmine thorn]

searches bug reports. Which bug? I don't see you filling out a bug report so TGC is aware of it.

[boreal shell]

thanks

[spark lance]

I know in beta scarf and fox go away when the 7th quest is unlocked but will it work like that in live?

thank you

[sleek pelican]

As mentioned in the blogpost patchnotes

[wanton shale]

still cannot go to eden hazzz

[static saffron]

I've triggered it multiple times, there's an invisible plant inside the first bathroom

[sleek pelican]

Is there any story about why the krill came out from toilet?

[peak mason]

ive named that krill benji

[crude turret]

Says the legend that it's one of the devs that come out to take a slice of blue pizza once in a blue moon
-and more bedtime stories for naughty skykids

[static saffron]

Nah I think one of my beta kids let them live under the toilet

[sick pendant]

Krill - wasteland
Wasteland - sewer
Sewer - pipes
Pipes - toilet
Toilet - bathroom
Bathroom - office
Office - illuminati

Krill are illuminati confirmed

[obtuse pike]

The cake in the sanctuary has been moved, is this updated?

[rough sand]

Is Days of Summer over in beta? I can’t find the event spirit,

[bright portal]

Yes, the mountain peak candle cake moved to the floating island with the waterfall.

[tacit stone]

One flaw about deco prop is since it doesn't involve any interact button, it looks only colourful to the owner. The others will see it as dark grey

[bright portal]

It seems like the summer guide is gone due to a change of phase , based on the last sentence in this post from ktjn. @rough sand

[indigo halo]

If they could implement the placeable function for the umbrella, it would be lovely which adds to its uniqueness and, perhaps, more advantages especially if you can stand on top of it.
May work as a good feature just to place it down and relax taking lovely photographs, playing an instrument or just sitting down enjoying the view anywhere. Even more useful under the rain

[bright portal]

Wonder what's in for us in the next phase of Days of Summer.

[gritty wyvern]

Maybe the ts system? There are 4 items meaning you'll need 2 months for all of them to appear

[bright portal]

Aw, thought we going to have a crab barbeque at home next.

[crude turret]

[by unanimous wish and the community kept pestering us we'll take the summer event to a later date so we can prepare the placing mechanic. Let's announce it in Days of Summer Winter]

for legal reasons this is a joke

[faint comet]

The last sentence tho 😂

[bright portal]

Days of summer, but it's the entire year. 😂

[lyric kite]

Where I live, it's basically like that anyway lol

[bright portal]

It's either scorching hot here or a monsoon season

[indigo halo]

There are only two seasons in my place. Hot and very hot.

[pure temple]

Th umbrella is so expensive and ugly

[lyric kite]

The good news is you're not required to buy it

[pure temple]

Why not solve the problem of bugs in sky

[lyric kite]

They can work on more than one thing at the same time ya know

[pure temple]

Nono

[bright portal]

Their engineers are assigned to different parts of the game with their team. Whether to make new features, events or bug fixing. I think that's usually how it works. At least that's how it is where I worked.

[pure temple]

I think the umbrella is not worthy of this price

Because l buy the gifts of every activities

But this umbrella is ugly

If it's beautiful ,im willing to buy it

[bright portal]

Feel free to suggest why you feel it isn't worthy of it's price in #beta-feedback and how you feel about it. You can suggest another price of your liking and the reasonings behind it.

It may not reflect in this event, but it may help tgc to share your viewpoints for future events.

[pure temple]

Thanks

Ohhh

, sorry for that

[bright portal]

It's okay. It's a matter of opinion.

[wide wasp]

Hello. I wanted to ask if the 999 ♥️ cape will become available in live version of sky in future?

[bright portal]

As of now, devs don't seem to have any plans to release it to live yet.

[crude turret]

there's also a pin about it here

[opaque yew]

Don’t you think all these bugs appear due to too many multiple platform created? How they able to match all different devices to play this game . And with so little time, and do you think it is player that push them with this many contents or they must push out this many contents within time frame?

[wide wasp]

Oh ok. Thank you

[bright portal]

To me , I think they are doing optimization for Android devices. Due to the large quantity of models and brands , it's quite difficult. It seems like Samsung devices are affected the most in recent builds.
As for me , I'm on the xiaomi pocophone f2 pro, beta is very well optimized for me compared to live. With the exception of the invisible bug.

I don't know much about hardwares and mobile development, I'm more on the software side of the tech industry.

[opaque yew]

I wonder how many things were scrapped from a season due to time constraints and we can see some statue or things in oob

[timid bough]

golden skykids

[opaque wyvern]

guys i'm searching if the new music sheets are related with the new movie or the old one

[opaque yew]

From prince season? Yes and the big crab statue under dream village

[opaque wyvern]

does anybody knows ?

[timid bough]

crab statue was added purposefully but the golden skykids seems to be too much effort for it to be simply an easter egg

but still i can't relate golden skykids to the little prince whatsoever

[bright portal]

I've only seen them in pictures and someone said it took like 20-30 minutes to get to it then I can't be bothered.

[uncut cove]

Q：NINTENDO SWITCHでモバイル[iOS / Android]スカイアカウントにアクセスできますか？」

はい！ Switchデバイスの進行状況にアクセスするには、モバイルデバイス ...

[faint comet]

Do you mean the 2 new music sheets from Season of The Little Prince Seasonal Spirits? Since it is already in Live, it would be best to ask on #questions-and-help

[faint comet]

Tbh, watching a short video of it, players going there, is enough for me

[bright portal]

Hi, very sorry but this server we are only able to support English.
Yes you can your switch account with ios/android. Just link your nintendo account and you can play on both platforms. Please check #🍄switch-faq🍄.
@uncut cove

[zenith cloud]

Though I've been learning Japanese for months, I don't think I can handle this

[autumn sundial]

Funny question but does anyone know where they moved the summer guide to

[bright portal]

Idk i use google translate and that's the closest i can understand. Hopefully I answered their question correctly

[faint comet]

Days of Summer already concluded, hence, Summer Guide being gone is right on schedule

[bright portal]

Days of Summer first phase* it seems.

[autumn sundial]

Ahhh that makes sense then 😂 I didn’t know it ended

[bright portal]

^ based on the last sentence of what ktjn wrote.

[faint comet]

Yeah, I think what I've understood what was written on beta update is that they moved the Summer Guide just a smidge away from its original position.

[autumn sundial]

Ahh okie thanks y’all

[spark lance]

SkyBot ate it

[opaque yew]

So I’ve put into wishlist-and-ideas that vault library can be use by new players as information centre . Like the books on the shelf can be tap and show the information of different types of spirit and how seasons works

[autumn sundial]

😱😂

[bright portal]

Opens a book and its just

[opaque yew]

I kinda love the mysterious things and the magical moment when we figure things out but I also need to read information on FB and walkthrough to get more info. Maybe, just maybe, many new player stop playing because they don’t know what to do

[faint comet]

I already forgot this but did we have a "Relive this Spirit's Memory" Daily Quest for Troupe Greeter?

I only remembered Festive Spin Dancer, Admiring Actor, Troupe Juggler, Respectful Pianist and Thoughtful Director.

[bright portal]

Maybe they can add an info board at home space.

[opaque yew]

But too many friends spawn at home and you might be busy reading and they will come greet you

[sick pendant]

There are only 3 season in my place
-extremely cold
-10 days of nice weather
-extremely hot

/srs

[languid apex]

where is the event summer guide?

[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!

[faint comet]

Scroll up, Puffers linked a statement from one of TGC Dev

[celest compass]

My screen is still black even after the new update whyyyy????

[faint comet]

It's best to bug report it.

[opaque wyvern]

thanks :3

[sick pendant]

Days of summer has concluded in beta. Hence the summer guide left

[faint comet]

(ping was off)
Here's the statement coming from Ktjn

[bright portal]

Made a little info board idea in wishlist channel.

[sick pendant]

Sanctuary cake was on such a perfect location why was it changed?

Overall sanctuary is already in a great condition please keep it that way.
DON'T TOUCH MY PRECIOUSNESS

[formal lintel]

Sanctuary cake?

[bright portal]

The candle cake on the top of the mountain

It has been moved to the floating island with the waterfall.

[crude turret]

I wonder why do they do these things

[bright portal]

Maybe adjustments for future plans there, or people left feedback about it.

[fluid quail]

probably it's hard to reach? or interfers with the lpp sanctuary quest
either way it might be a bug too no?
not mentioned in the patch note

[zenith cloud]

I can only understand what she mentioned is about a NS related question, most of the other characters she used is a kind of phonetic simbol called Katakana, which can be used tagging other non-Japenese pronunciations like Chinese and English. And for the はい, it means yes or roger that

[sick pendant]

I wouldn't say it's hard to reach like at all.

We fly down from entrance to it.

When on ground we blast up to it with geysers

[sleek pelican]

Imagine if they move it to heaven floating island instead

[fluid quail]

ok i just checked it, definitely not a bug.. it looks nicly done and very intended

[crude turret]

Brb gonna put that in feedback

[sleek pelican]

Nooooooo

[bright portal]

This is not a headpat, this is a bonk to your head.

||if y'all won't know what reference this is imma lure the krills to this chat||

[livid ridge]

Yup, even though i have the update, i still crash when i reach sanctuary send help

[pale junco]

Time to test if i crash on walking in this build or not 😌

[naive solar]

Haha

[plain depot]

waiting for android

[naive solar]

Android is already out

[zenith cloud]

Sky Beta: Children Keeps Crashing

[plain depot]

my country can't

not yet availaable

[naive solar]

Have you tried clearing Google Play Store's cache?

[carmine thorn]

I have.

[sick pendant]

Okay this conspiracy is closed...... For now

[naive solar]

I have lol

[sick pendant]

Are you guys sure you're not sponsored by Google to tell me this now? Cuz if you are then it's a whole new conspiracy

[carmine thorn]

Google couldn't pay me enough

[bright portal]

I have.

[pale junco]

Did i cause a confusion 👁️ 👁️ i ment the update that was in #beta-announcements i just woke up a while ago so it's new for me

[carmine thorn]

The caveat is if your device model or country doesn't have the update staged, yet, clearing cache does nothing. Play Store is the worst maintained app delivery system. It's as if the interns are in charge of Play Store or something.

[cosmic orchid]

updoot?

[timid bough]

updoot?

[naive dock]

Really?

[timid bough]

im confused as you are

[tough wedge]

Woo no crash in sanctuary

[sleek pelican]

Wasn't the update like 8 hours ago? Is there another one?

[carmine thorn]

Someone was late to the updoot party and just got that update

[sleek pelican]

Same country i got update already hours ago

[tough wedge]

I just received an update

[pale junco]

Just crashed while entering brook

[naive dock]

Is the build 173240？

[tough wedge]

Yes

[naive dock]

I see.

[pale junco]

Crash if i go anywhere from valley social space

[tough wedge]

I received on my newest phone but not on my alternate phone @naive dock

[nimble egret]

Question: I'm gonna change my device, can I download beta there too or I need to wait another wave?

[tough wedge]

@nimble egret If you use the same email then you'll be good

[carmine thorn]

If it's the same platform, you're fine. If you're switching from Android to iOS or vice versa, you would need a new invite.

[nimble egret]

Thanks💕

[drifting fractal]

Is it normal i still can't see the summer event guide, nor get the IAP umbrella?

[carmine thorn]

It's not a bug, Summer event ended, we're in an intermission between the summer event and summer lights.

[drifting fractal]

Is it already over? I didn't even have the time to get the suff

[tough wedge]

Ohhh I thought they were the same event sorry

[drifting fractal]

Even, i couldn't see the update till the next one came so...
I lost the umbrella :(

[flat steeple]

The umbrella ts will come

[pale junco]

It's okie, sometimes you cannot get everything in beta

[spark lance]

Will Umbrella come back with TS ? Day's of summer

[carmine thorn]

I think they're talking about the casual stance umbrella. (that's who has the f2p umbrella, no?)

[pale junco]

Iaps don't return with ts

[carmine thorn]

yet

[drifting fractal]

How could the event last only 1 day?

[pale junco]

I doubt that'll ever happen, remember Christmas hat

[bright portal]

Don't give them ideas , looking at a ts with pricey IGC and also IAPs is going to cause a riot .

[pale junco]

Event was there for 5 days as it was said in #beta-announcements

[carmine thorn]

Imagine a TS with an IAP in their tree. It sends you to a top secret shop with the IAP.

[flat steeple]

Yep ^^

[drifting fractal]

Ye, but what about christmas cape?

[unreal needle]

The umbrella TS will come after they spend already the Yellow umbrella. Only we have to patients because they don’t hear us and don’t go down the price at 10$ for more people can buy the yellow Summer one

[tawdry pine]

"hey kid you want some iaps"

[bright portal]

After spending 200 candles , spend another $20 ! /j

[pale junco]

It wasn't an iap

[drifting fractal]

Was it? It started on monday and yesterday it was already over

[spark lance]

Ohh

[pale junco]

Yes, but umbrella wasn't available from beginning because of a bug

[tawdry pine]

The Santa cape, table and pendant weren't iaps, only the Santa hat, reindeer horns and Snowflake Cape

[drifting fractal]

I know that, that's why it stayed like for 1 day
That's unfair tbh

[pale junco]

Beta is unfair tbh like i don't want crashes, but that's what we are here for

[tawdry pine]

In beta we get 0 compensation

[drifting fractal]

I was talking about 2019 christmas event

[tawdry pine]

But you mentioned the Christmas cape, which was 2020?
And that's what I'm responding to

[drifting fractal]

It also came in 2019, didn't it?

[tawdry pine]

It was only the Santa hat, which again, was iap

[bright portal]

2019 events weren't too great , all event items were IAP. Nice to see IGC items now.

[slim kayak]

we didn't actually get in game currency items for events until the 1st anniversary. the next time that happened was days of feast 2020.

[desert tide]

What did the update even fix about eden, still the same

[bright portal]

That gap apparently and wind speed in certain areas. In build 173164.

[drifting fractal]

I see, I'm wrong, but it remember seeing someone wearing that cape before 2020 christmas event

[slim kayak]

do you mean the fluffy purple cape from rhythm? its the same model but purple

[drifting fractal]

No, it was red

[tawdry pine]

That must have been juggler cape, which is purple/blue, Santa cape has diamond stars and it was red.
If it wasn't fluffy like juggler, you're thinking of Yoga cape or red Belonging cape

[bright portal]

Not possible to get before 2020 chirstmas event. Or are you mistaking it for belonging red cape?

[slim kayak]

ah yeah, belonging had a red cape. there was also the fluffy red cape from gratitude

[bright portal]

Since they have the same star patterns , maybe that's where they got confused.

[drifting fractal]

Lmao, pretty sure it wasn't that, i also have it
Probably i dreamt it

[tawdry pine]

You got three people telling you 2019 didn't have Santa cape, most definitely a dream or you're remembering wrong
apologies if this comes across as rude

[carmine thorn]

Or a false memory or one that you think was that long ago but really was later than you remember?

[timid bough]

i too dream of sky

[drifting fractal]

Uhm, i remember i belived santa cape came in 2019 too cause of that, so idk

[drifting fractal]

Yea, I'm wrong haha

[sick pendant]

OK so sword pants will cost 200 candles and meanwhile there are going to be several events with several props that can be bought with candles AAAND the cherry on top - there are going to be extra items on tss

Does tgc even want us to get those pants like at all? :sqwarlockDed:

Imma make this a meme later.

-hey skykid. Want sword pants? EARN IT!!!!

[tawdry pine]

Well yeah, you gotta earn it, same thing with TS and constellations

[shy ore]

sipping juice

[cobalt jacinth]

Many users alredy calculated that with 1hr gameplay a day you can get 700+ candles in LP season therefore I don't understand the question

[zenith cloud]

Most expensive season ever

[timid bough]

it really is, for both tgc and us

[sick pendant]

It was a rhetorical question 😉

[cobalt jacinth]

I know

[formal lintel]

is the summer anchestor spirit gone for temporary or gone forever?

[sick pendant]

Forever
The days of summer event is over in beta
Unless there's a new update and devs decide to prolong it

[tawdry pine]

At least the first phase iirc

[cobalt jacinth]

#beta-announcements states the guide's testing is over

[formal lintel]

oh but the castle still there

[stark cloud]

gone reduced to atoms

[sick pendant]

Yes. The expansion is a part of a bigger plan. The days of summer is the first phase of it

[sick pendant]

Thanos snapped

[formal lintel]

ahhh thanks

[terse quail]

but things are also time limited as well and since the ts/events will most likely overlap, its really not about how many candles you can get during the season if you have absolutely nothing saved up. its very grindy and probably kind of discouraging to newer players.

[sick pendant]

Also please normalise healthy criticism. Things aren't perfect and it's OK. That's exactly why we are here.

Being exclusively positive towards any decision is not helpful in my humble opinion

[pale junco]

Exactly!!!! They said we need to get 2 candles a day for the pants during the season totally forgetting about the ts that will come during the season. And now they add all these events like what ;-;

[terse quail]

things also cost hearts and if something is 20 hearts, thats like 60 candles-

[tropic radish]

/Huh, now that you mention it
Newer players I've interacted with seem to have a hard time hitting beyond the 500 candles without skipping a few items
We have more events and stuff now compared to back then, but at what cost ?
I've been stuck in the same 800 candles for almost months now

[sick pendant]

Don't forget that those tss now also have an extra item tied to their tree

[timid bough]

the 2 candle a day comparison is really the minimum requirement you really needed to if you're only aiming for the pants

[pale junco]

Yes ;-;

[terse quail]

500? some of my sanc friends cant even save up at all and are usually under 100 at all times as they are trying to also finish constellations

[pale junco]

Bruh, yes it's minimum but it's not an explanation for absurd price. If they consider an average player they probably need to add in the ts too

[timid bough]

getting cosmetics in sky is a question of choice if you don't grind much
you either buy this cosmetic or that

yeah the 2 candle per day isn't really a justification just giving a context for that quote

[pale junco]

Even if we take out the pants. The events are getting frequent and i'm finding myself grinding for something everytime

[tropic radish]

I dare say that the chevron system isn't helping much cause more time limited things keep flooding in. But maybe that's a bit far fetched

[median leaf]

I see your point, but in my eyes I think that the ts are just coming in hot and there is little time to gather up many many hearts and candles if you are a collector player. But I do see where you are coming from👍

[sick pendant]

In my opinion high prices take away the meaning of the game.

This game was supposed to be about spirituality and friendship. Meanwhile the cosmetics completely stole the thunder.

Yes, it's a choice to buy/skip cosmetics. But some of us happen to like several of them truly. And just the thought of that in order to have them we need to grind completely steals the thunder of the game. We now are expected to grind.

IMO if the prices were just a bit lower we would have much more free time to simply hangout and enjoy the game,

For example instead of spending 10 minutes of candle run I'd love to spend 10 minutes in sanctuary playing with the beach ball with my friends. Who wouldnt also mind spending time in game and earning no candles for it. Now our time is prioritised for candle runs

[terse quail]

that system still feels so discouraging personally too

[pale junco]

Not very far fetched, they added cr system so we don't have to grind for longer for stuff but these frequent events are countering the system

[timid bough]

make all event items IAP so no need to grind

[pale junco]

Yes, in days when i don't have to grind, that's the only time i can appreciate the beauty of the game

[tropic radish]

But then I'd still have to grind irl

[timid bough]

double chevron when

[median leaf]

I guess you can call it a money run 🤣

[pale junco]

Cr system irl when

[timid bough]

obesity rate drops to zero

honestly i been thinking of getting a treadmill to run while candle running

[timid arrow]

ngl but I barely ever go to shared space. I don't rlly get the point.

[sick pendant]

YES.. I'M NOT ALONE

[terse quail]

we all already share all the spaces anyways lol

[timid bough]

i like shared spaces... if they can improve on it
and on prairie social space

[timid arrow]

And the thought of items that will be for display that won't even show if you manually SHOW it, clogging up my wardrobe is meh

[timid bough]

the realms are property of the elders

[sick pendant]

Elders are property of megan

[median leaf]

Yes sometimes the spaces get kinda boring when the servers get low or you just have a few items.

[terse quail]

oh no will sky bot get triggered with the m word

[timid arrow]

Just a question... Cuz I don't have the beta version, but are the instrument bugs all fixed in the latest update?

[pale junco]

Those triggers were removed because people were spamming

[sick pendant]

Which ones

[terse quail]

yeah honestly unless you have interactive stuff like swing and stuff like that its pretty boring.

[sick pendant]

Lmao skids played uno reverse on skybot

[timid bough]

honestly tho i think shared spaces props should have cheap prices and straight up not clog up the prop closet

[terse quail]

ohhh i havent been to lore chat in forever so i had no idea lmao

[zenith cloud]

The space is too small to design my layout

[cobalt jacinth]

I don't think the game alters user behavior for grinding. I have several friends who almost never cr and they are perfectly fine with what they have. The question is why most users want to acquire almost everything and it has more to do with this society and getting caught in shopping behavior than anything else.

[timid arrow]

Having to tap right in the middle of your key to play a note, tapping friends icons will jump out of the instrument etc etc.

[timid bough]

i still yearn for the day we get minigames

[timid arrow]

The collectors

[sick pendant]

Prioritising chat bubbles and other UI elements are mostly fixed. Don't know about the rest sorry. Will share after testing

[timid arrow]

All g, Thanks!

[timid bough]

i want to beat someone at chess damn it

[sick pendant]

Which type tho? I was wanting to but never could answer this question

P. S. I consider the gayser event a mingame.

[timid bough]

board games, alternatives to hide and seek

[timid arrow]

I wish sky had mini games like four in a row, chess and stuff to play with people

[tropic radish]

Yes, we yearn for more small minigames
Hide and seek is not enough--

[median leaf]

Haha maybe some elder go fish 😂

[timid bough]

hide and seek needs a bigger range honestly

[pale junco]

But i like everything genuinely ;-;
And "just don't buy it" can't be a explanation for the frequency of events and prices. I'd happily skip an item that i don't like, i have in past but if i have to skip an item just because it's too expensive then it feels bad.

[sick pendant]

OOR a special area for it

hunger games in sky

[timid arrow]

When the tea set came out I legit thought it was going to come with board games and it would automatically light up the other person and u could play games with strangers

We could totally have like chess tournaments

[sick pendant]

It does light up the player but the only game we play is "who will spill the drink on the other first"

[tropic radish]

/Everyone thinking of board games ( which is super neat )
And I'm here begging for rock paper scissors

[timid arrow]

Ohhhhhh yessssss

[timid bough]

when i first heard assembly and props i thought we were gonna get minigame props

we don't have fingers

[terse quail]

i just want tag youre it

[sick pendant]

Deep down I still hope they are developing functionality for those props

[hollow compass]

This isn't really beta territory anymore, but I'm genuinely curious how much time you think is reasonable to spend in the game. I also like the idea of mini games, but it sounds a bit like you are expecting Sky to be a complete entertainment centre where we can hang out all day. Which also sounds a bit unhealthy.

[pale junco]

Gucci pillow backpack

[sick pendant]

[pale junco]

For me i think 3 hrs atmost in a day. Not continuously but maybe 1 hr at a time
Rn i think i don't spend more than an hour a day

[median leaf]

Some players do like to take in the whole game, so experiencing everything is a big factor. Buying cosmetics makes the game feel more like you are in control and more lively. Having the opportunity to buy something that you have your eye on feels like the biggest accomplishment when you get the notification of “try this outfit in the outfit shrine”. Having ownership or just taking part in the game I’m not sure how to describe in the best capability sorry 😅

[hollow compass]

That's quite a lot, but then again, I usually divide my gaming hour(s) between many games. I think for Sky I spend perhaps 20mins to 1 hour.

[tropic radish]

Most reasonable time is around 30 mins to 2 hours for me, cause I literally have no other game to play ( on mobile )
Tbh, I want minigames because it just adds a little bit a flavour while hanging out with my friend. It's not a priority, but I'd absolutely love it if they do implement another emote that functions like the hide and seek one www

[timid arrow]

I spend like 1-2 hrs on sky because I have all the ts and 1000+ candles. When I feel like cr it takes me 30 mins and I only do realms that get me the most wax. The rest of the time I'm staring into my friend constellation because it's empty and no one is online. Then I might go to prairie and spin in circles with some strangers. Mini games is a thought for more meaningful interaction with in my opinions is third to hanging out with friends and helping moths.

[timid arrow]

Yeah I don't play anything else but sky....

[hollow compass]

Mini games is a thought for more meaningful interaction with in my opinions is third to hanging out with friends and helping moths. This is a really good point. I wish we could do more togeher with strangers and not just with friends.

[timid arrow]

Yeah! And sorz for my awful typos

[terse quail]

i think it really depends on a lot of factors like age and therefore responsibilities. some people also use the game to just chat with people and ive found myself more than a few times talking to strangers and suddenly hours went by without me realising. if youre having fun and not neglecting your responsibilities and all that i think any amount of time is fine as long as it makes you happy.

[median leaf]

Imagine Simon says sky kid edition

[sick pendant]

[timid arrow]

Like who can scroll fastest for the right emote?

[hollow compass]

Yuki, definitely valid points. But it also sounds like Sky is just another chat tool, which I think would feel like a failure for the devs. I kind of wish they'd see this convo now.

[timid bough]

same i don't play other mobile games (most of them are gacha) tried one recently but almost had a heart attack from gacha
i spend around 1 hour to cr which often get extended when i get distracted by moths
besides that i don't do really much sky social stuff and just do sightseeing
so on average 2 hours

[sick pendant]

Can you believe I have done 0 daily quests in live?

I still don't have all the emotes collected

[terse quail]

well whenever i got lost in conversations we usually explored oobs or played music etc, so id say its still more than just a chatting tool, not to mention the background music is just amazing too (especially looking at forest).

[timid bough]

shared spaces inherently is something to do with strangers (which is why it isn't private spaces)
sky is really big on random encounters with strangers really

[median leaf]

When you meet a new person and have to communicate in sky sign language 😂

[hollow compass]

I listen to the music on Spotify very often. Lately, my colleagues at work have even asked me to put it on. 🙂
Yuki, sorry, I thought you meant you were just sitting around chatting.

[sick pendant]

me and my friends once were role-playing as if I was their therapist and they are getting a divorce. We were sitting on a chair and a stranger joined us. Needles to say they were impressed by my skills

[hazy zephyr]

Bruh samee

[timid bough]

im actually quite amazed many people sleep on sky
found many sleeping skykids on places like assembly treehouse

[hollow compass]

Yeah, I'm just not feeling shared spaces. If I want to build I play Sims.
I miss some of the old beta quests that would give you a candle. We had them briefly turned on in beta and everyone else seemed to also enjoy them.

I think Sky being a mobile game with international live playability somewhat limits the variety of games that can be introduced to it.

[median leaf]

That actually got me thinking, what about prop food? Everytime u take a bite you replenish health. There are only enough bites to get you to full health. Of course with a cool down! Would be fun to add a cake or so even for shared spaces

[sick pendant]

so just rename recharge potion to recharge pie?

[pale junco]

I just want a personal home space ;-; tgc can keep the shared spaces

[median leaf]

You are onto something

[hollow compass]

I miss the personal home space so much.

[median leaf]

Yes so practicing piano without running embarrassment in public, the pain

[sick pendant]

Personal room. Apartment system. Buy a flat in valley for 999 hearts.

I'd buy a house in village of dreams with a view to collisem.

there I would organise all my props with love. I Don qan shared space

[sick pendant]

MISS? Was it ever a thing?

[rain delta]

I kind of feel bad knowing that they spent a lot of time on making the shared spaces, but they’re not really working for me either
I think a simpler way to implement this idea would have been to just let players carry more than one prop, so that the location could be chosen by the player
I don’t like shared spaces because the locations aren’t really locations I want to be in and my locations may never be choose for shared spaces (I.e spot where little prince and me played music)

[pale junco]

Yes, in la the home space was a separate orbit like room

[sullen relic]

thinking along the lines of the new beach ball spell they put in the game, i wonder what potential there is in putting in items that any player could freely pick up and move around -- not like the spell window you use to place a prop down, but more like what happens with a flipped crab

[sick pendant]

Oh... The empty lonely island with the npc...

[timid bough]

old home space is literally water

[rain delta]

I wonder why dev team didn’t think to go that route? Say they added a new tab in the menu for backpacked props and allowed you to carry more than one prop

[pale junco]

No, the golden starry room. With all the statues to realms

[hollow compass]

No, it was a small open space with all your friends as candle shrines in water, kind of. Wait, I can post a photo.

[pale junco]

Bless us belp

[hollow compass]

Go check. 🙂

[sick pendant]

WAID HOLD ON. ITS LORE BOMB TIME.

WE DO BE CANDLES. WE JUST GOT AN EXTERIOR

THE CANDLE IN THE END OF THE ORBIT CUTSCENE IS US

now that i look at that old photo in the context of what we're talking about, i think i see why they changed home space to what it is now -- that looked a lot more solemn and mysterious rather than playful and welcoming, which sorta sets the tone and mood for how to behave in the game

[hollow compass]

It was perhaps not the best space, especially considering it wouldn't fit most people's constellations nowadays. But what I enjoyed about it was being able to sort of prepare myself before going into the real game and being social there. Or just not do t hat at all, and just send light to friends and log out again.

These days, when you log in, there is almost always someone there that you know, but it might not be a good time for you to be social.

[timid bough]

very real 😔

[sick pendant]

#skyforintroverts

[fickle stirrup]

SPOILERRR

[pale junco]

Yes, like i don't like meeting friends while i just logged in. I'd first like to send light and view the quests. Instead of having an awkward conversation while i'm trying to do stuff

[sick pendant]

NO SPOILERRRS IN BETAAAA

[median leaf]

Hopefully going solo for sometime becomes a thing. Just like the beginning of Sanctuary Islands “An escape from daily civilization”.

[rain delta]

Those days when I got into the oobs or sit in the trials just so people won’t tp to me ><

[naive solar]

I wanna play as a candle

[pale junco]

Candle outfit when

[hollow compass]

This! Exactly this. I often log in for a few minutes at reset, while I am at work, but I don't intend to play. But then I meet a friend and the inevitable conversation happens. They must think I'm just making bad excuses.

[rain delta]

Is the lantern supposed to be in the shop?

[tardy mantle]

Do i have to tap on the notes on the exact place in quest 5 season of little Prince when he ask me to demonstrate how to play the ukulele

[sick pendant]

Is it?

[median leaf]

Wax cape with the wax running down👀

[naive solar]

Hi there, the Summer Lights Event hasn't started on Beta yet, so nope

[rain delta]

It’s not in mine, but I’m suddenly seeing an influx of people with lanterns _

[sick pendant]

Remember beta lessons #2

Snatch freebies right away cuz they might not stay free for long

[pale junco]

Skybot ate the iap

[sick pendant]

Devs said we'll test each event for 5 days.

I assume testing the days of summer lights will start on Monday hence the lantern should be back only then

[naive solar]

I'm hoping for the crashes to be fixed, I really wanna get the asteroid cape lol

[pale junco]

I'd be disappointed if people didn't recreate a ritual picture around the bonfire especially with the glow on being back

[carmine thorn]

You can buy 2 lantern spells for 10 AC in the boat or at Ark.

[sick pendant]

Dm me the reference pls

We must do it meme gang... We must

[spark lance]

We were the wingbuffs in the old home i like seeing the old home but i prefer the present one since it feels really home to chat and sit and relax before starting the game

[timid bough]

to be fair friends were also the statues in eden back then

[main vapor]

Sometime in the future there has to be a steven universe collab, temporary warp crystal to his house and steven is quest giver

[candid vault]

😋

[fiery vapor]

Anyone know where can I get the yellow umbrella in beta? Can’t find the spirit with the hat that sells it😔

[gilded parrot]

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

[upper gorge]

@fiery vapor yellow umbrella is iap item,so go to shop

[fiery vapor]

Thank you!!!

[cursive tinsel]

Last eden, friends and strangers turned into statues...very confusing when you are struggling to get to them and try to give light in the rock rain

[real rampart]

I think other cosmetics are pricey but I believe sword pants were made to be that pricey because they were supposed to be IAP since they can only be sold during the season, the reason they are way more expensive than normal pants is that they will never come back unless they pay for copyright again. However it’d be really great if other prices were reduced and then it would affect the prices of the rare items too. But I see it as that currently it’s just supposed to be way higher than the current normal price for TS pants, which is already very high

[spark lance]

How to sign up for beta testing??

[digital kestrel]

Why aren't there any IAP cosmetics appearing in my shop? It only shows the asteroid cape, just reinstalled beta today

[kindred fossil]

Summer event concluded testing

[quiet hinge]

Did they removed the summer spirit who had that hat??

[cobalt jacinth]

Testing of that spirit is done

[kindred fossil]

Summer event concluded testing

[spark lance]

Interesting, didnt know that. It would make me feel heroic as i struggled to rescue and give them my wls

[hollow compass]

I honestly just found it stressful.

[opaque swan]

The update that came out yesterday still hasn't fixed the crashes I'm experiencing

[opaque swan]

Currently doing a lot of bug reports in #beta-bugs-android

[opaque swan]

I hope they read them

[crisp thorn]

The yellow umbrella is scrapped. Do we get to keep in beta? Or will it be removed next build?

[pale junco]

Who said the yellow umbrella is scrapped

[lost pivot]

i think its a misunderstanding

all they did was remove the umbrella from the event space so nobody thinks its an item you can place freely, its still an item

[crisp thorn]

[172775]

🔹~~ Summer IAPs are missing
🔹 One of the items from the Summer Guide's friendship tree is not appearing in the Closet after unlocking~~—the 20 heart cost item is a scrapped design and will not be released.

[lost pivot]

the item in question isnt the umbrella, thats just a rumor >_>
they accidentally added it

[crisp thorn]

Oh ok TYSM

[opaque swan]

Phew, I've finished all my bug reports

[cosmic orchid]

this is gonna become a rumor somewhere in social media

[amber umbra]

I know I’m probably just missing it, but could anyone point me to where the Little Prince is hiding for the quest in Hermit Valley so I can keep progressing (and bug hunting)? I swear I’ve hit every nook and cranny but can’t find him

[opaque swan]

Follow the sun!

[amber umbra]

Okay! Thank you @opaque swan ☀️

[mental gazelle]

how to join beta?

[amber umbra]

And I am still struggling to find the LP in hermit valley I feel like a bad beta player

[bright portal]

Fly towards the sun at hermit valley , there should be a hill in the distance by the clouds, LP is sitting there

[mental gazelle]

hmm may I ask how to get beta

[bright portal]

Please read #beta-faq. Invite waves are random.

[lusty light]

Crashes not being fixed doesn’t mean the devs didn’t read the bug reports, it means that they just haven’t found a fix

[opaque swan]

I wasn't saying they didn't read them

[zealous badger]

Anyone else notice the new cake in Sanctuary? Are there more than just the one on the island upon entering?

[timid bough]

that cake was originally on top of the mountain but moved there

[zealous badger]

Weird, I haven't gone on the mountain yet, just came in and hit the island on the way down toward the geyser

[amber umbra]

Thank you so so much @bright portal and @opaque swan, I finally found the Little Prince

[chrome ivy]

start
if {crash.interception=true}
{force.close.app=true}
{picture=true|path (./user/thatusername/Picture/moth.jpeg}
end

This is how TGC intercept a crash

[digital flame]

oh so the other one is not at the top anymore?

[timid bough]

yup

[digital flame]

they just ruined my cr route
i am lazy to get that one plant close to timid spirit and was always flying straight to that mountain

Was carry fixed in this build? Like sky kid is falling off

this bug is in live rn

[old dock]

Can you tightrope walk on the new flag prop coming for the Sky birthday?

[digital flame]

it's not solid

[old dock]

Too bad, but thank you so much!

[crude turret]

I thought that the flag pillars were a little thicker
not me imagining those pillars from light waits either but still not that thick

[timid bough]

invisible like the rope the little prince uses to hang onto their birds

[old dock]

[spare mulch]

Hi guys

How to i install the sky beta?

[tardy dune]

#beta-faq this has all the info you need to know

[tropic radish]

I thought the birds just pulled him with thin air by the power of light and sheer will

[crude turret]

Everyone kreb until the prince starts asking how can he fly without ropes

[lilac solstice]

Last time I checked, no. The flag prop didn't have collision. But i can check again

[faint comet]

Just checked, it still didn't have collision

[split mirage]

Compatibility confirmed!
I'm so happy. My hands will also be so happy. :SkyTada:

[sleek pelican]

Wooow what device?

[faint comet]

S20?

[pliant rover]

Awesomee & Congoo!!

[split mirage]

Samsung S20 5G

And using chromecast to mirror. I tried usb c to hdmi which let's me use Dex on tv but it's not great. This works like a charm. I'm off to hunt some bugs 🐛

[grizzled python]

All I think everyone wants at this point is a “send all friends gifts” button and a “receive all friends gifts” button.

[crude turret]

And once again, it most probably won't happen

[blazing sequoia]

Lighting up friends is show ur care that u pay attantion and give ur time for light ur friends up... So if we just have to press on a button it lose the sense of the lighting up system. not the heart grinding is the main function of the friends light up.

[south current]

hmm true but i want a light all friends option too because Sky won't let me see all of my friends in my constellation unless i block and unblock people

[real rampart]

It can be fixed by a list that shows all friends, a light all friends button isn’t needed

[tropic radish]

Search
Bar
Pls-

[lost pivot]

idk, theres two sides to this, on one hand yes, giving the effort to light every friend in your constellations daily means you care, but on the other hand, for someone who friends so many people bc hes a social butterfly that plays daily for 10 months straight (ahem, me) i have too many friends and cant light them all because its repetitive and tiring, >_> plus i cant even see all my friends anymore

[south current]

yep a viable alternative

[real rampart]

I have a lot of friends too but I feel that it only takes a few deserved minutes

[lost pivot]

i cant even light every friend i have unfortunately, so its kinda redundant unless sky adds a function where i can find the friends i havent lit,

but not to mention i have motivation issues (i struggle to do anything repetitive daily because it slips my mind or its too boring and i refuse to do it) so this whole light daily thing is uber hard for me to do :/

[gilded parrot]

I've been wondering that as well! But as beta testers we should do our best to figure out and test things on our own before asking. Remember that your struggles can help many players in the Live version and that feedback is extremely useful for TGC! Please submit them in #beta-feedback

[real rampart]

me neither, that’s why i suggested a list of all friends.
Regarding the motivation issue, i heard that a lot of people have that problem but i struggle to understand why. Sorry for that!

[umbral whale]

Does anyone know about the anniversary items? They say they're gonna give 2 hats but one of them is for late game players

[south current]

to be honest, i have friends who don't light me back and just collect my light without caring to return it so i stopped lighting them too lol. so i guess i am selective in lighting friends but if we had a light all option, that will remove the ability to choose which friends to light. all i want tho is to just be able to see all my friends in the constellation haha

[real rampart]

I was editing a page that can be added to the constellation page! I’ll post it in wishlists and ideas when it’s finished. I hope they take it into consideration

[lost pivot]

i have very severe adhd!! motivation issues is just one of the many symptoms! welcome to neurodivergency!

[real rampart]

i am a neurodivergent too, maybe i fail to understand because i’m really into the game. One thing i found for being unmotivated to cr is to kidnap people with me, it feels like you’re helping people and it makes me want to keep doing crs!

[blazing sequoia]

Why do u lit ppl only for hearts , i just love when my closest friends lit me up asap when they got online, feels soo precious 🥺 i dont need light all of ma friend button

[umbral whale]

Can anyone state the anniversary items ?

[sleek pelican]

#news

[gilded linden]

I don't get the relevance of discussing ideas on beta channels

[umbral whale]

The site won't load

[lost pivot]

yeah i uber my friend for crs every day to give myself the motivation to do it, i just dont get the same drive when lighting my friends for some reason? i dont get it either but i only really light ppl if i cant join them when im trying to lol >_> it takes a lot of time and i dont have the patience/attention span to do it

[real rampart]

I can’t think of a way to help you get motivated about lighting people tho, sorry again

[real rampart]

!! i think it’s alright to not light people, think of it as saying good morning to your classmates. You can do it if you want to, or don’t if you don’t want to. I feel that light all people button would be like wishing for a recorded audio of you saying “good morning” that plays automatically

[sleek pelican]

What info u would like to know? They stated cone hat won't return but we can buy beret this year

[blazing sequoia]

I feel the light up means "hey buddy iam in game feel free to visit me😊🤣"

[lost pivot]

thats a funny analogy but it does make sense and i do get it, i doubt sky will add the option to light all friends anyway >_> i use the light feature to send to friends to get their attention, just like anna said lol

[real rampart]

it’s cool!! Thank you

[still ore]

Which gap are they talking about?

[hollow compass]

It’s not beta-related. Please ask in #questions-and-help

[lethal pivot]

Guys who are the same as me? I log in in beta but it is all black except the tree friendship

[spark lance]

Not black my game is good work not black see

My friend who has samsung galaxy a30s the game keeps crashing, feels like the Dev's don't want to fix it. Even though they reported it to the Dev's since last month

I don't know when will the fix bugs and crashed those bugs and crashed get passed on to live making it unplayable, we pre-order pass thinking we can play sky without issues but even live is unplayable now

We report but feels like sky is moving on with new season and fixing home trick instead of fixing bugs and crashes

[flat steeple]

Guys,
Ya any of you will buy the umbrella
when it comes to live 😕

[hollow compass]

Fixing bugs isn't always easy. It takes time to pinpoint why something isn't working on one platform, but works perfectly fine on another. Sometimes it's even beyond the devs' control, because it has to do with hardware or OS updates.

[flat steeple]

Do we know at least if there will be some spells of it?

[hollow compass]

There were alreay spells in beta, so I assume so.

[fading terrace]

It's most likely to have so.

[pale junco]

Android has many many variations so it takes longer to fix bugs for Android devices. They read all the reports so you just have to wait.

[spark lance]

Bruh are you a dev? The game ran fine before the update but then it goes downhill, I believe if they used unity engine or unreal engine the game would have ran fine, even genshin impact runs fine but sky which a small game doesn't run well.

[spark lance]

They say they are indie game but claim they have 100 million downloads, but do they know how many are active? Because if the game is unplayable and buggy people will leave

[hollow compass]

I’m not a dev, bruh. I’m just saying it’s not always as easy as we wish. But it’s most definitely not a conspiracy against you or your device type. 🙂

[spark lance]

Lol why are you saying it's a conspiracy? If they cannot fulfill the criteria of playable, better Remove that device from its list, make it clear that phone no longer supports, why are you interfering if you aren't suffering?

[finite meteor]

they said its not a conspiracy wdym

[spark lance]

They can say it on PlayStore that device isn't compatible with this game (sky) instead of having it on PlayStore and letting the game run at an embarassing 15-20 fps

[naive solar]

I think Google determines whether or not your device can run a game, not TGC

[spark lance]

Dude it's the Dev's not Google, they assign the minimum requirements.

[naive solar]

Source?

[granite spade]

I update, I play, I crash 😭
#cursenotyerbroken
#goodluckandroids

[naive solar]

turns out it's correct lol

[spark lance]

Do you have your source claiming it's google?😂😂

[spark lance]

Yeah because they Dev's wanna milk the cow and not fix the bug

[spark lance]

Go to sky minimum requirements page 😂😂

[naive solar]

basically, and very very simply, having 100 million downloads does not automatically change their financial status and turn them into a billionaire. using their custom engine benefits this game and tgc in a lot of ways. simply claiming that they're milking their playerbase for not fixing your friend's problem is a ridiculous accusation, not to mention how it's completely irrelevant lol

[spark lance]

https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Android_Information#Requirements_for_downloading_Sky

[spark lance]

Source 😂😂

[naive solar]

yeah you're still on the subject of system requirements when I literally said that your info is correct

[spark lance]

Why are you defending them? 😂😂 If they want they can defend themselves. If one doesn't criticize them for their mistakes they'll continue making mistakes which is evident.

[spark lance]

You didn't say I was correct you asked me the source

[naive solar]

"milking the cows" isn't criticism, it's baseless accusation

[split mirage]

It might be a better idea for your friend to write some live feedback instead of venting the frustration here as the dev's won't see it here.

[naive solar]

@spark lance

[spark lance]

Who are you to decide if it's critisism or accusation? 😂 Mind your own business

[split mirage]

Please stop.

[spark lance]

My friend and many of same device user mentioned our grievances but they do not fix it

[naive solar]

i'm a member just like you are, there's literally nothing that puts you above someone else in the server, everybody is equal here

[split mirage]

Venting here won't fix the problem for your friend. This is a place where beta testers can communicate about beta.

[spark lance]

Lol why are you talking about equality, all I said is why are you interfering if I'm posting my opinion in discussion, seems like you want the Dev's to pat your back for defending them 😂😂

[pliant rover]

Here everyone are supposed to help and keep opinions to their knowledge as you did, so they are doing on yours, be free to do but don't restrict others who doing, everyone are just trying to help why are you taking an offense on all replies.

[broken fractal]

It would be better if you and/or your friend send a feedback about the problem. Since this is the channel for beta discussion for beta tester. They read the feedback

[spark lance]

I'm not being offensive, I don't want fanboys and fangirls saying things which they didn't experience, they didn't suffer bug or crashes so they shouldn't speak by saying they are indie Dev's small team and stuff, if sky is 100 million downloads which is not a small number they should stand upto that name

[naive solar]

if you're playing on an older device or on a device that isn't capable of running sky properly, there's a popup that tells you so. if your friend is seeing the said popup then they're gonna have to buy a new phone or stop playing altogether. the devs aren't going to pat my back or give me fancy titles for defending them, these arguments are quite immature and completely irrelevant to your friend's status.

[spark lance]

Who are you to tell others to stop playing a game? Mind your own business. Will you tell a ps4 player who cannot run cyberpunk 2077 to stop playing cyberpunk?

[spark lance]

If you start telling players to stop playing sky you'll harm the Dev's revenue think twice before you type 😂😂

[wide edge]

well yeah, they could mess up their device and the game if they play a game that cannot run on that device

[pallid badger]

[alpine field]

Okay now i’m reading others’ comments to reply you, but well, think about the marketing strategies of not only phones but almost all electric appliances. They want to profit most by selling you more products, so what do they do? They intentionally make the lifespan of their gadgets shorter. I say intentionally because there were televisions that worked just fine for more than 20 years before, and they had the tech to do so, but choose not to for max profit. Albeit this only proves why our modern phones last so short, this is probably why older versions can’t support sky with a large file. And btw they stop letting old devices run new OS you know, game devs can’t control these things.

[spark lance]

Run on the device? 😂😂 It used to run well but the recent updates screwed the game.

[pallid badger]

Has it been bug reported?

[dry flax]

Do you mean the beta update? Or live update?

[spark lance]

First it was beta now the plague got to live because they ignored the issue on beta

[pallid badger]

Skyeeme, have you bug reported your issues when you first experienced them?

[dry flax]

If you want to report on live issues this is not the channel. Beta constantly sees issues which beta players report and discuss here.

[naive solar]

it is their friend's issue, not theirs

[still cloud]

It's completely black for me too. Except I can't even see the friendship tree or do anything at all

[pallid badger]

Then the friend. Have they bug reported the issue? Have they got in touch with customer service for assistance?

[naive solar]

they said so, yeah

[spark lance]

I'm reporting both live and beta

[spark lance]

Yes my friend did report

[wide edge]

exactly, you can’t really play until it’s fixed, so you gotta pause until they fix the issue, there’s no point in playing a game that’s unplayable due to a glitch until it’s fixed

[spark lance]

Yes but they didn't respond

[naive solar]

also to reiterate, both of us are members, there's literally nothing that makes you superior to anyone, so simply asking the question "who are you to x" is irrelevant

[alpine field]

Then you should probably know that mending things also takes longer than breaking things

[naive solar]

exactly

[spark lance]

Pause? Really? Didn't I tell you not to give such harmful advice? If one pauses during on going season with a season pass on, they are at a loss. And tgc doesn't even compensate to live players

[wide edge]

what advice can i give if it’s impossible for them to play?

[naive solar]

it's best to let them "experiment" and see how harmful it's gonna be for their device lol

[spark lance]

If you cannot advice than don't speak. You are not suffer so better not interfere

[pliant rover]

My device is Samsung A20, been using it for the last 2 years, playing game from 8 months, in beta from 3 months,

I have faced tons of issues, I have reported so many other issues, and as far my experience every issue has been fixed after a while,

& if I have a different experience than you which is fair positive and good doesn't mean I'm a fan boy, neither I'm getting paid nor are devs my friends,

Its about just a little patience and time for the TGC devs to give and proper reports when whoever is facing

I agree it is so much frustrating to play with bugs but that is due to Android has so many variants and it's not device company but it's the device configuration which causes it most times.

[dry flax]

If you have specific issues in Beta, please log a bug report. And wait for it to be fixed. That's the maximum anyone in the group here can do.

[spark lance]

My friend was patiently waiting for 1 month in beta Nothing happened lol

[pallid badger]

Please keep things respectful towards one another. Everyone here is trying to help and advise as best they can. What you take from it is your prerogative, but do not dismiss each other if you do not agree with an opinion.

[spark lance]

Experiment? Such kind words 😂😂

[dry flax]

Can you please point me to your friend's bug report? So that I can try and see if it occurs in my android?

[merry kettle]

arguing isn’t gonna solve anything 😂😂

[broken fractal]

This is getting a bit heated

[naive solar]

yeah it's not making progress at all lmao

[faint comet]

"You are not suffer, so better not interfere."

Doesn't this contradict your earlier statement that "your friend is experiencing the issue" not you?

[drifting atlas]

I'm going neutral here as a person who plays on a low end device for more than a year, aka Samsung A30 Bug fixing takes a long time actually. Whether if it's on Live or Beta, if it works it works, honestly I don't mind some crashes on both sides ; Beta's just a testing ground of course
Best to report it though if possible, both Live and Beta

[spark lance]

So am I suffering with the same crash, I'm speaking for them and me

[spark lance]

But if the bug in beta isn't fixed it gets passed on to live, so hence I'm complaining about it and still the bug isn't fixed and goes to live.

[pliant rover]

Let's wait more maybe there are other issues that must be fixed with priority. There are always things to be done in a way and let devs do their way.

I waited for table and chat props to be fixed for 6 months and it's fixed now.

my best suggestion it's just report to devs through the proper channel here you are just doing nothing other than just venting yourself.

good luck!!

[naive solar]

it should be kept in mind leaving bug reports doesn't mean that the devs are going to immediately fix your issue, and leaving feedback doesn't guarantee a change, you're letting them know of the problems in the game and your opinions on it

[faint comet]

I see.

Anywho, it would be best if your friend and you submit bug report/s for it and provide feedback. Arguing it here doesn't solve anything, and Devs don't usually backread this channel, they might backread sometimes but not all the time.

[spark lance]

Who said we want immediate fix? Been complaining for a month. By saying they are indie Dev's small team you are hurting the game. If there is no critisism and critisism is dismissed there will be no improvement

[dry flax]

This is not a channel to complain about anything. People sign up for beta knowing they have to put up with game breaking updates. Please keep it to the topic of the channel. If you can point me to any bug reports that you or your friend have logged then I can see if I too face the issue and file a bug so that that specific issue gets more traction. If not this is not a channel to vent out anything

[pallid badger]

There are other people also experiencing crashes, different types of crashes depending on their make/model/operating system etc etc. The huge range in diversity of android devices makes it an incredibly challenging platform to work with, which is why development took as long as it did. Bug reports are absolutely crucial because they help identify the unique combinations of all of the above in locating the sources of the crashes and enabling a fix.

[alpine field]

Do you know tho that the piggyback bug took around one year to finally get fixed?

[elfin raft]

What is going on

[pallid badger]

It’s not that the company doesn’t care, or they prioritise other things over fixing issues with crashes, it’s that sometimes it really is a limited and unique set of circumstances that are incredibly difficult to identify.

[spark lance]

I'm not venting out anything I was just telling my and my friends suffering, it is folks like you who come and speak of Inde game small team nonsense and irritate genuine sufferers

[jaunty breach]

Isnt piggyback broken atm?

[alpine field]

It is broken again but it was fixed…for a while…😌

[spark lance]

Hence I said they could have used unreal engine or unity engine if they cannot handle diversity. I'm placing my suggestion to them to use these engines to make the game.

[drifting atlas]

Again, it's best to report it and hope it gets fixed someday. Whether it be a few months or a year, most of us have been waiting on some fixes as well on some other stuff so please be patient

[dry flax]

Can you point me to a bug report that you or your friend logged? If not then please move your discussion to another channel as this is not the appropriate channel to complain. It is to "discuss" not to argue about beta testing/ issues

[spark lance]

You can search it yourself not gonna waste my time to show you "sources" lol

[dry flax]

Use #live-feedback or #wishlist-and-ideas-archived for that. This is not the channel for that

[dry flax]

I did and there is none in your use name. I don't know your friend's usernsme

[spark lance]

Dude I'm using my free speech to voice my opinion in a public beta discussion what's your problem? Is this communist china where I cannot say anything?😂😂

[terse flame]

Where is the lantern?

[gilded parrot]

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

[spark lance]

Search again 😂😂

[faint comet]

It will be available once Days of Summer Lights begins and atm it did not start yet.

[elfin raft]

The days of summer lights didn't start yet in beta

[dry flax]

I have no problem. My only request is if you genuinely logged a bug report please point me towards that so that I can test it.

[pallid badger]

Please let’s not call each other out. There is no need.

[drifting atlas]

It's not out, probably yet, who knows?

[naive solar]

good luck boon lol

[real rampart]

i think they mean that they mentioned it in this channel #beta-discussion message

[alpine field]

Ah yes, the disco lantern that is purrfect for disco spinning with You Spin Me Right Round at the background

[thorny tinsel]

Hi do y’all still see the days of summer guide? Cuz I don’t

[spark lance]

Not this

Days of summer’s over in beta, so she’s gone back to hibernation uwu

[elfin raft]

The event ended in beta,but the area stayed

[sick pendant]

testin of days of summer concluded in beta hence the summer guide moved to orbit (metaphorically)

[tropic radish]

/So....
Has anyone checked if office still suffers from visual glitching ?

[dry flax]

We're now awaiting the days of summer light.. Whenever that starts.. To get the lantern

[real rampart]

!! i see
that’s the one i could find, i think the person you’re talking to would be glad if you could link the message you’re thinking about

[faint comet]

Can I DM you Anaty? I just have some simple question about Discord, it's kinda stupid

[naive solar]

i am going to bring out my antennas and try to communicate with them

[alpine field]

Why did i not think of this lmao ur a genius

[real rampart]

of course!

[spark lance]

54176 bug report number

[spark lance]

Go and search it now

[drifting atlas]

Yeah
The TV's gone, I think someone stole it

[real rampart]

#beta-bugs-android message

[naive solar]

your bug report mentions that the game lags violently while recording, didn't you say that the device incompatibility was the main issue?

how well does the game run while you aren't recording?

[spark lance]

Where did I say incompatiblity? You'll were saying my device doesn't support the game 😂😂 read again I said the minimum requirements of sky is different if they cannot deliver it as promised, change it

[elfin raft]

The screen recording lags the game for me too,on samsung.

[naive solar]

if a device cannot run a game, that means your device's specs are incompatible with the minimum requirements to run the game

[dry flax]

If you have issues with inbult screen recorder. Please try the screen recorder by Kimcy929 in play store. It works well. I used to have recording issues. But I don't now since I use this recorder mentioned above.

[carmine thorn]

So... Since your device does not have the GPU power to render Sky and record the screen at the same time, it's a bug?

[granite jay]

Updoot

[faint comet]

Again?

[spark lance]

You don't seem to understand anything 😂😂 I said the game is not optimised because when the beta was released the Dev's didn't fix it and it was passed on the Live

[granite jay]

Oh ye

[bright portal]

I was going to say, would be nice if Uzephi is here to explain android tech stuff.

[drifting atlas]

There's an updoot?

[cursive tinsel]

Wow they are rolling these updates out fast

[tender oasis]

I dont see any

[spark lance]

My GPU can run genshin on max settings, are you suggesting sky is a poorly optimised game?

[tropic radish]

They're rolling them out fast
Maybe because of the Samsung crashes and black screen ? www

[faint comet]

What Build Number are you on rn?

[carmine thorn]

Genshin is a horrible example. Genshin runs on a potato PC.

[granite jay]

I have had pctato, I attest it will 👀

[naive solar]

i don't understand anything cause you didn't mention the problem itself, just that it's not running properly and you just asked me who I was when it literally says Dermelles above lmao

[spark lance]

Really? It doesn't run on potato pc? And claiming sky is superior to genshin is an over statement 😂😂

[jaunty breach]

What season did you join? :0

[naive solar]

I'm gonna get popcorn lmaoo

[spark lance]

Enchantment

[granite jay]

Nobody claimed anything like that lol, just saying they’re different games and they got different needs according to how they function. I’m sure.

[spark lance]

I think you are correct sky is a poorly optimised game

[carmine thorn]

In graphic fidelity, yes. Sky runs circles on Genshin. Genshin is a simple cell shaded anime style game. Not hard on graphics cards at all.

[jaunty breach]

Voicing concerns and such is good but having emotionally biased language attached to it can give mixed messages.

[real rampart]

I think the problem would be solved with a note on google play that says “some features might not be available depending on your phone”. Try suggesting it on #wishlist-and-ideas-archived or #live-feedback
I don’t know how much they can do to make the recording not lag, since recording usually makes a lot of devices lag

how do i make the first channel name go blue
nvm i found it

[sick pendant]

If sky is that bad why do you play it

[naive solar]

they're gonna ask you the same question lmao

[tropic radish]

Try adding a "/" at the front :0c

[naive solar]

come ignis, next to me. I've a massive tub of popcorn here.

[slim kayak]

I've been monitoring gpu usage on the games I use, and I can say for certain that sky runs much heavier than most other games. It usually uses 90% of my gpu

[real rampart]

thank you! apparently i made the first word plural when it wasn’t

[cursive tinsel]

The expanding areas/graphics do play havoc on android...so what was running smoothly with no lag in May introduced regular lag after starlight desert was added
But just like sanctuary islands caused all sorts of graphics issues but now runs smoothly for past 6 months ( apart from latest crashes), I hope optimisation improves or new device time

[sick pendant]

I have advocated for normalizing healthy criticism several times already, im all for healthy and respectful discussions about features we find redundant and so...but never have i ever thought that sky is a bad/poor game

[spark lance]

Cell shaded? 😂😂 It's an open world game without boundaries, sky is all about areas and portals lol

[drifting atlas]

Nothing much to say so this is fun to watch

[slim kayak]

It's the clouds that make sky super heavy. RIP my gpu

[alpine field]

Yeah, ‘tis soap drama level comedy uwu

[tender oasis]

I doubt the ‘why do you play it then’ question was ever a good one. I mean they probably love the game itself and i can totally agree that it is frustrating when something you enjoy for a while now starts being laggy, and crash a lot. My android is also a laggy mess in this beta build but okish in live.

[sick pendant]

oop....
gurl.......

[radiant drum]

@spark lance please keep it respectful now. Name calling isn’t something that will be accepted here

[naive solar]

Mirian you're a godsend

[radiant drum]

And I’m having a hard time understanding why this discussion is happening in the beta testing channel

[broken fractal]

Hi mirian!

[radiant drum]

Hello everyone!

[carmine thorn]

Imagine... Sky released on Switch just fine yet Mihoyo says they cannot port Genshin to the switch due to "weaker hardware." Which is poorly optimized? Which has a competent development team that can optimize a game for a platform that can barely handle the graphics of their game?

[real rampart]

i think they complained about the same thing around 1,5 months ago and didn’t get a fulfilling response, nor a fix. I know it isn’t people’s responsibility to take other’s negativity and passive aggression but I feel replies in similar tones only get the OPs more angry

[alpine field]

Hiiii

[slim kayak]

It probably came from the current issues with crashes in beta for Samsungs

[radiant drum]

Let’s not pile on anyone either everyone. Just return to what’s new and being tested in beta at the moment

[spark lance]

Can you tell the same to the gentleman who said cell shaded games are inferior?

[empty river]

this conversation is literally going nowhere. If you have a bug report it in the appropriate channels (which you've been linked to), if you have feedback send it to the appropriate channels (which youve also been linked to). Everyone here is a player like you and theyre doing what they can to help you and instead youre being disrespectful to them. As mirian said, stop name calling others

[dapper ginkgo]

I mean the reason why such old generation phones can run Sky is because of the areas and portals. My old iPad was able to run Sky perfectly fine but it imploded in Genshin (it ran a lot better in smaller areas like houses). So it’s not really fair to compare such a large game like Genshin to Sky.

[radiant drum]

You can have meta discussions about games elsewhere. Not here

[spark lance]

Weaker hardware? So sky can run on switch? But cannot run on a Phone? A while back someone said Genshin can run on potato, why so much conflict of opinion

[sick pendant]

so....summer guide...gone....reduced to atoms

[dapper ginkgo]

Also why is this place always on fire whenever I walk in

[tropic radish]

Hmm, With the ridiculously HD graphics for a mobile originated game, I'd imagine optimisation issues is just, kind of barely holding on www
Cause first, it seems like the moment degs start tweaking with it, it's like playing minesweeper
And the "phone burn haha" joke seems to be always relevant TvT)

Respect in discussion goes both ways, by the way

[dry flax]

Generally giving attention itself is the fuel. I guess the max anyone can do is help them out. Which I think I did by giving a suggestion for the issue they faced.

[pale junco]

You tried 🌈

[radiant drum]

They just got a new haircut too!

[real rampart]

i agree!

[tender oasis]

Getting a haircut must be dangerous then

[drifting atlas]

Chile anyways so the summer umbrella's fancy though I'll probably be able to attempt to pull a Mary Poppins in beta only Looking forward to the Summer Lights update though

[naive solar]

"I have enough money to buy myself a new pair of shoes. Bye!”

[slim kayak]

The summer guide is just on vacation, like they should be for the summer

[pale junco]

Skybot accepted they ate them

[broken fractal]

Thats already 3 mods visiting here...
Anyway, anyone got a look at the summer guide haircut?

[radiant drum]

They’re running off with all those hearts

[tropic radish]

Nooo, the summer guide must be hiding and waiting for us to find them
searches in denial

[naive solar]

I was honestly expecting them earlier hahah

[pale junco]

Scam of the year

[dry flax]

We get a lantern and what else? What were the items last year? 🤔

[empty river]

i hope it brings new things besides the lantern, but im content if the new stuff is only in the first event ^^

[sick pendant]

summer guide IS a scammer

they sold us the void for 20 hearts remember?

[dapper ginkgo]

B o a t s

[tender oasis]

Just lantern and the paperboats

[dry flax]

Oob explore... Good Luck!
May be they are at that island we can see faar off from home space

[wary stream]

The summer guide got the Hide and Seek spirit haircut, right? They must be playing hide and seek then!

[faint comet]

Summer Guide must be arguing with Hide & Seek Pioneer who's got better haircut

[drifting atlas]

Same here

[sick pendant]

me and yash recently reached that island

flex flex

[dry flax]

They wanted to see if beta moths are really desperate. Instead their bait worked well for many seasoned beta vets too

[pale junco]

Summer guide went inside the sand castle, someone needs to check

[tender oasis]

There is one thing i could never understood. Why paperboats when we could have the floating lanterns

[pale junco]

No-

[sick pendant]

i'm still waiting for high heels in sky

[naive solar]

it'd be difficult to press on the buttons mid air

[tropic radish]

Everyone theorizing where the summer guide went
I mean, they could still be there
In..... Spirit

[broken fractal]

I didn't get to see summer guide new haircut, my internet died for few days

[dry flax]

paper boats oversized corn kernels

[granite jay]

I am hopeful that that beach ball will be a prop one can use a lot. I requested something like it in the wishlist and omg it would be so cool to play with like team games such as sky soccer or more

[split mirage]

Haaaa! 🤣

[pale junco]

Summer guide was hide n seek spirit in disguise

[naive solar]

you're making a fellow popcorn enjoyer hungry

[sick pendant]

we need a lemonade stand in that beachy area and we buy props from there istead of tss

[dapper ginkgo]

booo!
/j

[tropic radish]

It's the whole Days of Rainbows Guide situation all over again

[alpine field]

Wait i want a lemonade stand-

[pale junco]

Hold up- summer guide didn't had the sanctuary sunglasses- how could tgc
runs to feedback

[dapper ginkgo]

THAT’S VALID DO THAT DO THAT

[sick pendant]

you do that too

p.s. notice how chat got quiet all of the sudden

[pale junco]

[dapper ginkgo]

Three of us did it at the same time wheeze

Teamwork!

[worthy beacon]

cut scene's kinda long at the 7th quest
also: is the pants free at the end

[sick pendant]

no 200 candles

[dry flax]

Remember "attention" ...use it wisely

[pale junco]

He's literally dying let him have his time ;-;

[empty river]

move on please

[pale junco]

Those cost 200 normal candles

[worthy beacon]

its ok ittle prince take ur time dying *joke pls dont attack me

[sick pendant]

.........from LP cutscene or from the sunglasses topic???? /srs

[dry flax]

I think it is supposed to let you get a grip on what just happened.. What happened to prince... And give you space to think now that the season is over... What are you gonna do?

[dapper ginkgo]

Late Internet? It feels like we just started this other topic though.

[sick pendant]

ok lets move on from moving on

[chrome ivy]

🍋

[cursive tinsel]

I could have done with more small cutscenes in PNR to orbit as you move through each stage to keep engaging in the story....or did you mean the end of season credits?

[alpine field]

I’m left with a void inside me, and the void expanded because i exchanged the 20 heart void at the time, lovely decision uwu

[dapper ginkgo]

“Honk
…
…
honk””

[dry flax]

On beta testing: I just completed beta sc run... No issues so far on my android. Other than floor is lava in valley temple

[sick pendant]

🍋
⬛

this is a good format tho, imma go cause chaos in gen chat with it

[tropic radish]

7th quest really didn't feel as impactful as I expected. Not emotional enough :''
I don't know, all I remember is prince dying and then we go out of orbit
And he gone with the rose, the end

[cursive tinsel]

I didn't event see the rose in the final cutscene

Hope it fixes itself for live

[dapper ginkgo]

This.
#beta-feedback

[alpine field]

Feeeedbaaack tiiimeeeee woohoo

[dry flax]

May be they should show an ending like in the movie... /no Spoilers go watch the movie

[chrome ivy]

It was evolving but in backwards

[tender oasis]

I totally agree with this. It was like a regular eden run with prince cutscenes. Other quests were more interactive, this one felt a little like a set back compared to those for me personally

[carmine thorn]

Instead of a lemon, a potato would be a better one in that emoji sequence, imo

[chrome ivy]

You see that after season of dream , the Season ending are more not emotional

[alpine field]

True

[pale junco]

True lol, quest 6 was just a bunch of running

[dry flax]

I think except his departure message. Even the 6th task was not that impactful

[tropic radish]

Let me just figure out how to word it out instead of just placing a single "last quest wasn't too impactful :("

[dapper ginkgo]

Quest 6 was the most impactful for me

[alpine field]

Not enough interaction? Maybe? Idk don’t quote me on this

[slim kayak]

Just hopped online and I noticed that the blocky textures that have been bothering me for like, ever, are mostly fixed! Seems like I need to check eden sometime this weekend

[dapper ginkgo]

“I’m going to go somewhere else.
I do not want you to watch me suffer.
Do not follow me.”

[tender oasis]

6th lead you to a new area tho, so thats a plus. The krill visit was funny.

[cursive tinsel]

Hey there is still time for tweaks before live release ... you never know , we may just have the basic version and they want to see feedback before developing it?

[chrome ivy]

When on the eden that Cutscene and prince die. You need to bring the winglight to him and other skykids just like normal eden but with additional objective. If you don't give it to the prince it won't counted as the quest finished

[sick pendant]

yes but that area is as empty as the krillls

[drifting atlas]

The 6th quest was kinda funny to me, my humor descended just by laughing when looking at a fish skull

[carmine thorn]

Yes, do! It's really nice that the light lines are fixed in ascent.

[chrome ivy]

And when you got to the flight to eden, you fly with the prince

[pale junco]

The cutscenes were good, but the running was kinda awkward, maybe some dialogues like we had in the hide and seek one while running would work

[dapper ginkgo]

I was looking for Prince in ascent. If he appeared in the cloud tunnel in the beginning of the ascent that would’ve been amazing

[sick pendant]

imo silence speaks louder in those moments and makes them more emotional, lp is depressed

[tender oasis]

It was just weird for me that i didnt really had to do anything(or anything i havent done before) for the quest to be completed?

[tender oasis]

Shared place when

[chrome ivy]

I think if for like normal eden but with seasonal objective. When you honk you can track the prince body

[sick pendant]

DONT

[chrome ivy]

To prevent people can't find the correct statue

[pale junco]

The quests before build up a idea that we had to or the prince have to guide that's why 6th one felt odd.

[dapper ginkgo]

It’s kind of obvious but sure I like it

[alpine field]

It really feels like a normal eden run than a quest, so halfway through i was actually lost on the objective, like was i doing this right…? I think some sort of indicator or the prince flying alongside you would help

[tropic radish]

It really does. It felt like something morbid was about, and is going to happen throughout the quest.
But the fact that we just keep running, and the Cutscene just passing by occasionally feels off www

I remember when I was panicking at the last quest and if I managed to skip a segment from the quest cause he didn't show up untill orbit www

[dapper ginkgo]

Yeah there really isn’t a way to tell if you are doing the quest right u til the very end, which worried me in

[chrome ivy]

Everyone was frustrated when there's no real objective on eden. Just regular eden run and the prince just on the orbit

They should like give the wing light to the prince and give to the dying rose after the prince back to his planet

[sick pendant]

hold on,,,pause

were we supposed to find the lp statue and save him?

cuz i totally died after saving random statues for AC then reached orbit all alone and met prince only at the gates of rebirth

[chrome ivy]

No, it was an idea
