basic troubleshooting steps should resolve most issues
Ah, thank you, Uzephi! It's true, I can see some Google services updating shown on notifications tray. I saw no update at that time tho.
I've just watched a video yesterday how a bit flip caused by cosmic radiation made a level jump in another game which was not possible could not be recreated or added extra 4092 votes to a vote count 
True, but most bit flips are due to failing hardware, like a bad RAM module can flip a bit it's trying to copy over... like when you load your account from the cloud in Sky, a bit can flip due to bad hardware on your end, then the server or game thinks it's corrupted.... Even a bad Delta update could be the cause for a data corruption error, which is why the game suggests a reinstall just in case the update got borked.
Ah I see you saw the veritasium video

hi guys do anyone download beta ver successfully yesterday but having server issues(new acc cannot log in to play)? my friend downloaded yesterday but he cant log in(it says fail to connect to server)
is it a bug or what problem?
creating new accounts is currently disabled until further notice.
where did your friend download beta from? the test group has been full for about 3 months.
he downloaded yesterday, I think it might be a bug?
from android playstore
googleplay?
yes
Since you are here. Can I ask about "Inbox-related stress test" . What's the purpose for it?
~~it's for testing
~~
a stress test is kinda self-explanatory.

creating stress on a system ensure that processes don't fail when it's overloaded.
also creating a second stress test in beta chat
it's beta, it's a testing environment to find and fix bugs, stress testing is just another facet of the process.
At least it's kinda a excuse for those people can't get manta cape during Sanctuary Test
the handhold / piggyback seemed to be back normal.. ty for the fix.. hope to see it in live soon
i haven try summoning samantha after this update... will go try when i'm freewww
not really, but using a desirable item as the carrot-on-a-stick incentivizes people to log in and participate in the stress testing. the first one with the small red flower helped, but did not yield sufficient information. hence the second round of stress testing.
hmm so do my friend need to uninstall beta or just wait until...?
Hand hold is a little 'stickier' now. Jess and I almost made it through the toilet bowl cutscene with our hand hold in tact.
most of it pertains to things that are not player-facing, so there's not a lot of information i can provide that doesn't get into a lot of technical engineering stuff that isn't necessary for players to dive into.
me and fincky still broke... .-. will drag her next time.. to see can anot... www
as a tester, your responsibility is to log in, open inbox, claim the attached item(s) and give feedback.
My avatar (lead) was still showing handhold, but she was faceplanted and couldn't move due to handhold, so she had to re-attatch.
Since it's beta not even close to replica the real environment that when like new season starts and neck minute server crash due to overload because 1M people join the server in minutes

Is krill a bird or dragon?
officially it's a "Dark Dragon" but unofficially it's a shrimp
8x players - Jenova Said 

you're conflating completing separate issues. but i understand the sentiment.
my guess is... the player creation should be only able to open during the invite wave... so.. watch and ask your friend to catch it when it comes out?
the databases, servers, and tools that inbox uses vs what brings game servers into existence are completely different. though those systems can and often do communicate with one another.
also i'm not an engineer, so most the information i provide is going to be extremely reductive and abstract.
Just how every season AWS server employees need to ready fire extinguisher on TGC rented server just in case
Just casually waiting to something to test
okayy thank you so much
well you've got a new build that came out yesterday to test. otherwise? enjoy the break and visit other channels or hang out in live.
Funnily enough, half of the bugs I 'find' are through normal gameplay. "You don't find bugs, they find you" 

sometimes it's easier that way, haha. miss the forest for the trees sorta situation.
i mean... if you're really starved for testing, might i interest you in the incredibly important field of quality assurance/software testing? thought that won't be specifically focused on sky.
Oh, I've done that. It's really interesting how methodical that field can be
your friend will have to wait until account creation and invites are reopened. I do not have an estimate on how long of a wait that will be. we currently have enough testers to meet our needs.
It's shows game data corrupted what should I do?
Off topic but Uzephi I hope you applied to be an internal tester (they had a position open a while ago)
I personally never saw someone who does beta as professionally as you
okay thank you
did you install sky beta from google play? if so, you may need to reinstall the application.
Oki
That would probably because I do test my employer's app before they greenlight it for release. It's a smallish company, so we "wear many hats" so to speak. It's not my job, but since I can get them device logs if a call fails, they can see the reasoning. (It also helps that I can give them network logs as well)
I can see after season goes live the game doesn't have many game breaking bugs. The Q&A team at least doing great job
Can the "Game data is corrupt" line be interpreted as "Your account is fine but the game data or the external service/framework the game used to run on is not fine"?
whats this #questions-and-help message
a barrier
a Barrier blocking off some parts of the area. Further quest progression will open it up.
Something for a future quest 
oo oki yea i was wondering what it was lol! time to go oob hunting
In general blue barriers will open up when you have enough experience or have the requirement pictured on the barrier.
this one has none it just says to light up but wont open
it cant be opened yet
It could be something as simple as "you bought an item our servers think you shouldn't." Like we got a few times TS came to beta. It could be something as complex as a bad RAM module flipping a bit due to hardware failure. It would be best to do the simple troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the game and/or restarting your device.
I didn't type the second part of my answer because Uzephi already replied.
In future you'd see these blue barriers in a lot of seasons(prophecy) , they are blocking parts of the area untill you are on the appropriate task
||"oh you just bought this mask for 50 candles? Guess what lol, you ain't getting it"||
Not really, Just restart game and you all set.
Just like LLP season after season ends the game still think's the pants is buyable but in TGC server the pants already isn't buyable so game don't know what to do and decided to say data corrupted instead of crash
Not all data corruption errors are the same, though. A bad install can cause the error also
Mostly nah. Installation error is very rare on Sky. Except it was google play error that one of the #android-questions case. He reinstall Sky just in seconds and when get in it just com.sky.android blah blah stop working
All it takes is one malformed packet in the wrong (right?) place to cause the error.
Anyway, those kind of things are very rare
True, out of all the Android testers, it seems only a few were affected. As stated before, it could be a plethora of things. A restart of the app didn't fix the previous affected users in this and screenshots channel. They didn't say if a reinstall fixed it, though.
Wait, Where beta-seasonal-discussion go?
I remember there's a beta seasonal discussion channel.
It was archived at the end of season testing
👀

if you mean how to be a beta tester, check #beta-faq 🏃♂️
thank you
game data is corrupt

@cobalt sentinel same here🌚
Why can't I get on the test server after the update
It's ducked out
same
I would suggest making sure Google Play Games is up to date, uninstall Beta (do not select leave) and reinstall then try logging in. If possible, record you trying to log in. If still error, please fill out a bug report with as much information as possible in it to help TGC find the root of the issue.
To report a Sky bug to TGC, follow the instructions at the bottom of the read-only #report-a-live-bug 
You can also read more detailed instructions in the link below! 
#questions-and-help message
I kinda wonder what are they planning for this year christmas and new year
haven't seen any big update lately
I believe there was an update just the other day with some pretty important things to test. Beta isn't all about the flashy new cosmetics and events. 😉
Not yet I guess. Christmas events might come with new season test. Around the end of October or later on. Just guessing~
anyone remember yesterday vault of knowledge quest?
5 october 05.10
vault
relive think
collect 30 pieces of light
relive polite stance
meet a spirit in vault

Why do you guys need yesterdays quests tho? 
I have a question to ask. I don't know who can answer for me, so I tried to ask here.
I was afraid recently. I met some hackers.They said they would ban my account.Then whenever I light them up, I will drop out of the current server alone.Will they really ban me?
Hey there -- that's a false claim by the hackers to try to stop people from reporting them, according to one of the game developers. You can read the dev's statement on that here: #beta-discussion message
Thank you! But I was removed from the server again and again. This is very odd.
I can't say I've seen that happen before or know exactly what you're talking about without more details, but perhaps it's best to report that in a DM to @hardy carbon if you have any concerns -- as far as I'm aware, they shouldn't be able to interfere with your account directly
Okay.Very thank you for your help❤️
Same
same hehe
Why can't I get on the test server after the update
I'm gonna wait for the data corruption to be patched before I open the beta again.
data corruption?
I was able to log in to the game normally yesterday, but today I can't, which makes me very depressed.
Ya me too..
it shows server error and verify failed
rip beta 2019-2021
Remember folks, don't treat beta as the main source of playing Sky. In beta bugs are to be expected. Please reinstall the game and if no success, report it as a bug! 
Excuse me, is it just that Android can't log in at present?
I'm on Android and can log in...
If you’re facing login problems, make sure you do the usual troubleshooting steps: checking if Beta is up to date, clear your cache, delete and redownload them from TestFlight/Google, make sure you have enough storage, or sometimes simply close and restart the game
There isn’t a clear solution as this issue isn’t affecting all testers. But that should cover all the false positives that happen rather regularly on beta 
Same. No issues for me
It's clear it doesn't depend on account (i have same beta with Google sync on 2 devices. It happened only on one of them prior update) and it doesn't depend on OS/device type either.
Hello. Does anyone have the shortcut pathways of the different realms?
The season is already in live. Ask in #questions-and-help because that question suits there the most and beta folks are discouraged to share infographics 
Also, the exits should be fairly visually clear as to where they lead. 🙂 <- non-sarcastic smiley
why doesn't my sky beta open? I click it appears that it is corrupted, told me to uninstall, I did it, but I can't download it back
@pearl meadow
If you got beta through legitimate ways, you should be able to reinstall. If you got it without invite, or logged into a different Apple/Google account, you can't have beta
but I installed it normally, when vacancies came, in July if I'm not mistaken, I managed to install
Do I remember wrong, or during the last days of a season we had more wax? Is the lack of more wax a bug?
We never supposed to have more wax during last days of seasons.
Live version has sometimes double candle event but not necessarily and that's not in beta.
With that said, please remove your post
@spark lance I removed your post. If someone has something you’ve never seen before, just report them via the in-game report function.
!reportfaq
Here's some info on how to report players in the game: https://bit.ly/ReportFAQ
No I didn't see it directly, i saw others posts about it, and i went to check my own beta.
Sometimes things happen in fleeting moments i might miss out on things, so i went to ask for confirmation.
Who can really know some things are hacks or not ?
Remember that giant yellow umbrella? People post a lot about it turns out it is not hack, but some game bug.
I’m not sure what you mean by the giant yellow umbrella, but if it’s content TGC themselves hasn’t announced officially on any of their socials, it can be ruled as datamined, scrapped or modified content
If you still have links to these posts, you may report them to @hardy carbon
beta is still dead im gonna cry
Not beta and not dead. It's your device or bit flip probably 
there's a video in YT about it
Did the beta tell someone else that the data was corrupted?
It's been a random issue. We suggest doing the basic troubleshooting steps to see if it gets fixed. Clear Sky's cache and data, then log back into your beta account. If still have corruption error, uninstall beta and reinstall. (If your invite is still valid, you can reinstall) If that doesn't work and you're on Android, please make sure all of Google's services are up to date. (Google Play Services, Play Store, Play Games, etc). If you still are having issues, please fill out a bug report. TGC cannot fix what's not reported.
I already did and he keeps telling me the same thing, I don't know what to do (he will cry in the corner)
I think if the steps Uzephi said don't work, there isn't much you can do but wait for TGC to fix it. Of course a bug report would help.
Please do fill out a bug report with as much information as possible. So far, there aren't many bug reports on the issue so TGC most likely doesn't have enough information on what's causing it. Any info would prove useful, like install method, device model, OS version, if possible, even play store and play services version may help if it's an issue on Google's end giving false reports of a modified system triggering the error.
Hol Up, Did he mean the Yellow umbrella from Days of Summer IAP.
I have no idea
the yellow umbrella was a legitimate item. but hackers were breaking ToS by tampering with the game code to leak unreleased content before it became available through legitimate means or was ready for testing. that does not make it any less of hacked content just because it eventually became legitimate content. if something has not been announced in #beta-announcements as ready for testing, but shows up on social media or places like youtube, it is usually provided by hackers. they often try to hide the fact that that they broke ToS by saying it's a beta "sneak peak" or "preview" or sometimes even say it's a bug. i know folks are eager to know what fun stuff we're working on, and grow impatient, but leaking content/items/features before it's ready for testing can do a lot of harm by creating unrealistic expectations or making false promises.
how does a hotfix comply with console demands, in the event that one (hotfix) is planned to be released in a much shorter time span than a regular patch? from a console perspective, what makes hotfixes different from regular patches(other than less changes)?
Less to review, I would assume since not much code was changed.
we did not hotfix for switch, so there's no certification process to go through
how come switch did not have these said issues, to warrant a hotfix?
they do have those issues
Oh, switch has the handhold issue

but it takes several weeks to get a new patch reviewed, and nintendo only allows one hotfix per YEAR and these bugs are not critical enough to warrant burning that allowance.
nintendo will receive these fixes in the next major content patch.
fiscal year, calendar year or rolling year? Sorry, just curious.
i don't know
Hopefully it isn't rolling. That would be a bad time.
nintendo isn't particularly forgiving when it comes to exceptions, so rolling wouldn't surprise me, but i remain cautiously optimistic we never have to find out.
Honestly, with Nintendos history, we're lucky they allow any third party games on their platform. That said, in case I haven't said before, even with all the bugs, thanks for working to bring sky to switch at all
such a strange way of going about things. is there any information that you're allowed to share regarding what those exceptions could be? other than the obvious not being able to play at all
since the hotfix included small changes it did not require the deployment of a new game server, which is what allows players from different platforms to paly together (e.g. matchmaking) we could hotfix for mobile which improves the experience of a nontrivial portion of the playerbase, while still making sure friends can play together.
Don't forget low powered hardware. I'm surprised we get the framerate we do get on the switch. It's CPU is so underpowered compared to nVidia's specs for the Tegra X1.
ahh I see, thanks for the info!
it's a case-by-case decision and would require a lot of internal knowledge that i'm not able to divulge. suffice to say, imagine absolutely worst case scenario.
got it, cheers
Worse case scenario: Day's of healing flower incident on the Switch.
naw that wouldn't warrant a nintendo hotfix
That too - that said, still a better play experience than either of my androids. Being able to play on a system that runs better than either phone is a mercy for live
it would have to be worse than the android crash issues from 14.5. much, much worse.
Worse than not being able to see anything?

I am sure they have discussed variables that warrant a hotfix and probably have some type of spreadsheet with apocalyptic predictions. Let's just say "We hope it never has to be referenced" 
Y'all remember the Ktjn pronunciation board? What if those were code words for such situations?
Emergency code Soup, I repeat emergency code Soup, this is not a test everyone get ready
emergency code 
There's a lot of technical comments about hot fixes that I just can't comprehend 
honestly same, but I'm happy that I'm able to (kind of?) learn new things about development!
I'll probably reread the chat in the morning and see if it makes any more sense 
So far my experience in beta, there are strange things can happen if i update my beta/ not update my beta when a patch come.
Last rhythm director ts came, those who haven't updated beta can relieve the spirit while those updated can't.
Last SoTLP, some ppl can access asteroid jacket from shop when they haven't updated game, while the updated can only access if they've finished season quest.
So we saw some ppl with asteroid jacket earlier than others or ability to relieve spirits, but are they hackers then?
I saw a strange pic, my immediate mind was is this something brought with the new patch?
Tbh the milisecond umbrella is very sus too when i saw in people's posts.
Where else can i ask clarifications if not in the official source?
Can’t login for a day
#beta-bugs-android message
Uh, I saw someone post on Insta that shows beta got to stress test christmas table and hoot hair. But it obviously not, so... is this report worthy?
Okay, how do I do report?
Dm links and screenshots to @hardy carbon

So, Switch player here. @vapid briar , someone quoted you as saying, "...it takes several weeks to get a new patch reviewed, and nintendo only allows one hotfix per YEAR and these bugs are not critical enough to warrant burning that allowance. nintendo will receive these fixes in the next major content patch."
So us Switch players are basically SOL for months? For broken cosmetics and missing spells?
Correct. It's not ideal, but that is the reality of console development. Certification is considerably slower. Patch cycles are roughly every 6 weeks, give or take.
You're welcome to take it up with Nintendo proper, but we have to play by their rules.
How would I even go about telling them that this is wrong? These are products that we paid actual money for, and Nintendo is perfectly fine keeping us hanging for weeks with broken products.
A visual bug with a hairstyle is annoying, yes but it doesn't prevent you from playing. The spells are not missing, per se, but they are temporary inaccessible and only impacts a handful of trail spells. They'll reappear in your inventory in the next patch.
Accidently sended a message in beta screenshots..
i thought its beta gen chat for a seconde
Are you sure you have checked the right Email with Beta Invites or not ? Cause i actually have 3 other Mail attached to the Beta Invites and they all already confirmed as tester, all of them can download Beta
Even after i Uninstall the Beta, i still can download them just fine
You need to make sure open the Playstore with your Google Account that have the Beta Invites
If you open with the one that is not in Beta Program, they won't appear
Does anyone have a problem sending hearts? I have already sent the report.
@vapid briar I would like to ask when those who have only recently applied for the qualification can enter the sky test suit.

Switch: The Switch Beta testing period has ended with Live launch. All future content testing will be conducted on Mobile only.
These new invite waves go out as-needed when the number of active testers falls below a set threshold. Invites are no longer tied to the start of a new Season.
there are no invites at the moment, everything you need to know is in
#beta-faq
If you joined the beta last invite wave, you should've absolutely been able to download the app by now.
Depend, it can be now, it can be after 3 Months
That happen to some of my beta friends too uwu
Or you can wait until someone leave their slot
How do you feed back questions
Are you looking for #beta-feedback ?
We dont know exactly when, but used to be around before a new season come in beta💕 be tuned
There is no set schedule for new invite waves. Get the role in #beta-faq and be patient.
We ask everyone to please post only in English on this server, @round sapphire. Unfortunately, moderators and staff aren't able to support all the languages spoken by our global Sky family.
But it shows that I am already qualified. I remember last time I said I would wait for notice.
Can you send a screenshot of what exactly you're seeing? Maybe you're misunderstanding something? Or we are
Sure, but you have to....
Even if you managed to grab the invite link, it's possible it didn't register it or you were a second late. During the last invite wave some people still couldn't get into beta, despite being on time. If that's what happened, then you just have to wait for the next invite wave
At present, all new account creation is suspended until more testers are needed, even if you joined and Google says you're a tester. Even if you're able to download the app.
Would pinning that answer be a good idea, just so we can find it easily to show an official answer from a dev if more people ask about it?
Maybe you used a app called gugu am I right?

About Dev Letter at BETA:
I think some players made a perfect edit about NEW BUTTON feature screenshot by picking some Ultimate Gifts, IAP, etc. they wanted just ONCE (if they add more while editing perfectly, that's impossible) and then they'll edit the NEW BUTTON feature screenshot perfectly from BETA to make it real.
Also, Ultimate Gifts from other Seasons will never comeback (even TLP items)
Damn, hackers can't stop ehh?
Need to take a rest, so tired.
I can’t take it anymore seriously…
I am beta in android can i use that beta in iOS?
The account itself can be logged in on an iOS device so long as you've bound it to one of the sign-in methods -- but you won't be able to download or play beta on iOS right now without waiting for another invite wave (the invites to iOS and Android are completely separate from each other)
I was able to log in to the game normally
yesterday, but today I can't, which makes me very depressed.:stickerGloomy: :stickerGloomy: :stickerGloomy:
It should be expected of beta: it is unstable and not a replacement of live
So as much as I can see so many players saying their accounts dead, so is this some kind of nuke of mass beta players?
Sometimes a new build is just unstable for some devices. It could also be that some devices had an update to their OS, making them not compatible with the current beta build (or indeed Sky as a whole).
Can enter the game but can not send love, do you have this problem?
Ok so it seems there are some issues going on with beta. Mine says there’s an update but it won’t complete. I can sign in fine and there are other players. Is this ok?
Why can't Android users enter the game?
It doesn't matter whether you're iOS or Android, it can happen on any platform.
The fact that we see more android issues can be because of Google play issue, and many of affected users (not everyone is such) got Sky beta through illegitimate ways, such as Huawei store, post-installed Google play store for Huawei and honor devices, and outside sources. Of course less iOS users are affected because it's much harder to do it on iOS but they can be also affected with such bug
Hey @spark lance, sorry for the ping but your DMs are closed. This is regarding your message in our #contact-the-mods channel!
You should see reactions and instructions on how to get the Beta roles in our #beta-faq channel. If they are not there, it's possible you have reactions turned off for Discord or perhaps something is bugging out. Let me know (either here or in DMs) if you can find them!
If others can/can't see the reactions there either, that would be great feedback as well so we can pinpoint a possible bigger issue 
I see the reactions on both of my mobile devices, however it auto scrolls to the bottom of #beta-faq. Maybe not everyone wants to read and scroll.
At least they aren't totally broken
But feedback noted ^^
Hello everyone! 
I want to ask you all about how your experiences with the buddy system has been so far! For anyone who has the time to respond; has it either affected you or your friends/newer/older players since? How confusing/accessible do you think the request for help feels for both new players/moths and helpers? If anyone could tell me about their opinions about the system I would love to hear them! Pings are appreciated. 
Since the guide feature is in live version of the game now #general-sky-discussion is the best place to ask this 
IF I got a dollar every time "how do I join beta" was calmly answered here... I would have started YetAnotherGameCompany ™ ®

Hi beta chat!
Remember witch hair's old design
Well, even if it was good, think about the good things of the new one! Umm.. Like... It looks like it flows in the wind!!
i like how the new one doesn't look like the forest elder's hair anymore and how it's a lot curlier than the old one 
i feel like i'm the only one who likes the new banshee hair 😔
No-no it's rlly cool honestly!
Like, a messy hair flowing in the strong winds of fall
And in front of you, appears a young forest being, is this.. The witch ?!
Just to say the hair is rlly cool 
Does all upcoming seasons will stay longer than 2 months because of Nintendo Switch rules?
seasons are already 11 weeks long,
This is only the second season to be 11 weeks; you're saying that will continue?
Corrupt game dta fixed?
extended from 10, so not really much of a difference.
If you're experiencing the game data corrupt error, I would suggest the basic troubleshooting steps. (clearing play store and play services cache and data, Clearing Google Play Games cache and data, rebooting device, uninstall Sky Beta and reinstall from the Play Store) If they don't work, fill out a bug report with the steps taken to troubleshoot and any device info you can gather that Skybot asks for during the report.
Tbh, if upcoming seasons are long like the current season without some new things that we sky kids not expecting it
And specially friends consolation many friends just disappearing because no space left.
I will quit game for some seasons like an old player
Thanks for hard working

Imagine if 15.5 came with a crafting type system for some spells in the new seasonal area. mix and match hearts, candles, AC, and if they find a way, chevron levels to make a limited spell like the beach ball, trails, crab trick, etc. 
Put in materials and 15-60 mins later the spell will be made. (I.E. Put the materials in a furnace or something, go candle run and when you return, poof limited spell)
In one of pre - LPP or LPP #beta-announcements it was mentioned that seasons will be 11 weeks from now on 
So it does, thanks, Tib! That was before I joined beta
hey guys,I need some help. I used Android device about one week ago .Then I turned to use iOS device,but I can't download Beta 'cause I can't find it in App store.after that I changed my region and successfully installed Discord.I wonder that I need rejoin beta test or not.I mean l installed testFlight but didn't have the access code.please help me,I know my English is poor,hoping that my words can express all specificly.
Invites are platform locked. You would have to wait for a new invite wave to change platforms.
All right.Thank you.
andriod btw
Can i delete beta and could i download it at anytime or i wouldn't be able to download it again?
As long as you don't 'leave program,' you should be able to reinstall beta from the Play Store.
Aight thankk youuuu!!!
那啥ios怎么搞beta啊🌝
use english or some ppl will not understand what you means
wait for beta wave, join beta wave and you can download beta
Yesterday I see some amusing phenomenon: where Tib's name change color from yellow to dark red to dark blue, have
attached as both roles (Larry) and in their name. Ktjn's name changed to Larry. I was like, what happened? 😂
When is the next beta wave?
You entered the Tardis.
we will not know when is the beta wave. Beta invite wave is only opened at adhoc basis.
Mk 👀 thx
How come I'm always managing to be sleeping while true chaos is happening.... My schedule is different every day and yet still I miss it. :(
Can we add Larry to the board?
为什么我的谷歌商店里找不到任何一个sky的游戏呢?

If you mean live, that's a better question for #questions-and-help. If you mean beta, testing isn't currently open for new players. It would be on the TestFlight app for iOS or on the Google play store.
if it is not in your googleplay store, it is likely your phone is not suitable to play sky
I have it in my cell phone, but I suddenly want to see if there is an update in the Google store, and I can't find it
if you are looking for google store update in sky, then you should clear cache in your google play. check in pins #android-questions there is a guide there
http://bit.ly/SkyForAndroid Follow this link to see it in the play store. Any other questions for the live version of the game should be in #questions-and-help or #android-questions 
谢谢
Umm is someone's game still not working, does it still says gamedata corrupted..??
Yes, mine is game data corruption.
yes me too😭
With the same fate
I have many friends and I don’t want to lose them😨
Me Too. I don't want to lose them.
I found that all the people who came here to say that sky couldn't get in were friends of Android.
yes🤔
Yes, a lot of android users can't get in.
I won't go even if I'm qualified.
I have a friend is ios, he can log in
Now it seems that only IOS is qualified to enter and listen to others.
Forget it, don't think about it, I want to finish my head picture.
I Don't Know. I don't know anyone who can get in.
Well I think I should go rob the bank, and buy myself an iOS device...
I'm able to get in. 
@carmine thorn iOS or Android?
Android
👁️👁️ @carmine thorn srsly? Duh
Buy paintings to make money to buy IOS mobile phones, for sky
@bronze pasture you mean sell?
Draw pictures for others.
Yes.. I can do that, but am lazy 
I think i can steal my grandma's ipad to log in sky🙏
@unreal otter why not just ask her
👁️👁️ I should go die
just kidding 
Bye guys! Lemme go take a bath 
Bye-bye
bye!
I'm going to update my sky fan fiction, bye
i also have no issue getting inside sky beta, andriod too
Does anyone know the reason that the application started writing that the game data is corrupted?
Yes , tgc knows :)
At the same time, I did absolutely nothing, just went into the game. I tried reinstalling the game, but it didn't help.
And what, and why?
me too
OK, then I'll wait for the next fix.
My friend on iOS said she's facing the Game data is corrupt issue too
So maybe the issue isn't exclusive to Android players
Given that Flight is the last season for this year, a new season probably won't begin testing until December or even January. But there may be some events in between.
Finally, I found a suitable vpn to log in here.😩 I have encountered a very difficult problem these days.Whenever I log in, he will prompt me that the game data is damaged.He asked me to delete and reinstall it.I did it.But the situation has not improved.May I ask what happened?
Using a vpn is not recommended or supported by TGC. Please don't recommend, discuss, or seek help with VPNs in this server
I don't think anything is known so far, except that there are multiple people facing this issue. Try the standard troubleshooting (delete cache, reinstall, reboot, make sure other things like testfilght or google stuff is updated, etc) and if it doesn't work, bug report and patience is all you can do sadly
OK, thank you for your answer.I understand the situation.
Is anyone else experiencing that you have to update your beta app like six times a day?

I’m exaggerating but it asks me to update it super frequently 
No, but my client shows that the data is corrupted and cannot log in.He asked me to reinstall it, but I have reinstalled it at least six times.At present, the problem remains unresolved.
y'all actually get updates?
its a bug, everyone has it
this is beta and it's rather normal
would be nice if you do a bug report tho
Me doing summoning rituals and providing daily memes for the devs to bless us with an update.
Meanwhile others apparently: 7 updates a day 
plot twist
they're on 0.19.0 by now
TestFlight is just stuck on the loop.. it won’t even start updating

And when it does start the update it goes back to the button “ update “
Do the usual troubleshooting methods (restart device, restart wifi, try reinstalling again) and if it fails, head to bugreport 
They're already testing the eden season
Is it because I use Huawei's mobile phone?I have lost contact with my friends for more than 4 days, and I really really miss them
no, i'm using huawei too. my huawei has google support
Many Huawei phones lost Google support and needed to have post-installed play store, which is not legitimate. But some still have factory installed play store working.
Isn’t it that the newer models are excluded from Google Play contact, so you basically can’t access beta/Sky in a manner that doesn’t break ToS?
the account authentication failed / the game data was damaged ...... Reinstallation is still the same 
Do the usual troubleshooting methods (restart device, restart wifi, try reinstalling again) and if it fails, head to bugreport 
We encountered the same problem.These two messages appear alternately on my client.But can't log in successfully anyway.
#beta-bugs-android time

restart device √ restart wifi √ reinstalling again √ 
did you install from google play?
yeah
Do you still have access to Google Play the regular way?
bugreport has been submitted
Which channel? I don't see your report 
Just wait, after all, there is no other way.I believe tgc can handle it quickly.
With Nintendo you can't access beta 
Is your Google also linked to Nintendo? If yes, this is might be the issue with the Google login, too
With beta invites. Invites are closed now and we don't know when will they open. More to read on #beta-faq
It is come after long time

Tier 2 black and white capes when on live?
No one knows when things will happen in Live
Any Live announcements will be made in #news!
Get the beta invites role from #beta-faq , you'll be notified once invites are open again
Why do I use Nintendo's sky to log in? The data is damaged or the login fails. Please try again
Nintendo beta has concluded, maybe that's the case.
Can I still play
Try to login with google account?
I don't have a Google account
when it's deemed ready
So my Nintendo account can't play?
Is the original account no longer playable?
You can't unbind Nintendo account even if you could log in.
If you were part of the Switch beta, I'm sure there was plenty of information about how that worked.
I am currently logged in through Nintendo.
I can't log in to Nintendo's account
I’m an Android tester, I just bound my Nintendo account for login convenience
When I logged in with Nintendo, he indicated that the account verification failed.When I tried to log in with Google account, it indicated that the data was corrupted.
Maybe it can cause the bug. I recommend to do a bugreport with this information. Everything is precious until devs find out what's the cause
It is what it is. You can bug report the issue, but if the account is lost, there's not much we can do from here as regular players. Beta shouldn't be played as a substitute for Live. If your account is lost, that might just be a sad reality. I'm sorry.
Now the account can't log in. I can't cancel the account
My sky account is bound with two login methods, but unfortunately, both login methods have fallen.
Because I didn't bind facebook before, I couldn't try.
Yes, I also encountered this situation
Facebook login has been disabled in beta.
I was off from beta for three days..and what actually happened ?
Late to this conversation, but former switch tester (from when switch beta was happening), current Android tester.
Don't know how much help this will be, but I don't think the Nintendo login is solely to blame. My reasoning is this - my beta account is only linked to Nintendo, and I have been able to log in to beta without issue on two different Android devices. A Huawei P20 Pro, and an LG Velvet.
I don't know how much help this will be, but maybe it will help to narrow down what the actual issue is
Sounded like it is more into the Android problem itself or it just got defected with the current build until new Patch coming
Iirc iOS users encountered the issue too
Hey everyone, I'm a new beta player...just joined in late July. I was wondering if our seasonal candles typically convert to regular candles like they do in live? If so, do we have any idea when that might happen with the candles from Flight testing? Thanks!
Yes, they usually convert at end of season, but no guarantees, also no eta of when this might happen
@nova bay Thank you for clarifying 🙂
anyone else having the problem of testflight not letting you in and saying you must be at least 13 to use the app? ⟟ am older than 13 and idk why it doesn’t let me in please help
It sounds like parental controls might be enabled (I'm not an iOS user, so I might be off the mark with this one).
With most devices you can check for and enable/disable in your settings menu - sometimes they'll be under screen time, sometimes in accessibility, sometimes somewhere else entirely
Hope this helps
thank you! yeah ⟟ figured out that ⟟ was logged into my old account that had it on. it’s all working now thank god
somehow ⟟ was logged into my old and my new account at the same time. not sure how that happened
I know that confusion - I've got a similar situation on my old tablet, but that's more intentional for when I visit my kid cousins
But yeah, glad you were able to sort that out :)
thanks again!
😟
You can't connect either?
No
I just tried it.I still have data corruption here and can't log in.

O-oh
oh my god i feel so bad there was this skykid who was helping me relieve the beg spirit by getting krills and crabs out of the way and when i was done i sat down to go back home and they came up to me and their cape was depleted so i tried to get up to heal them but it was too late and i was teleported back home :( 
I still can't log in to my account. Do I need to get qualified again?
me too ...
Some people can log in, but I can't
Yes, I found that only some Android phones can log in.
Let's keep waiting, maybe we can log in after the next update.
I use my Nintendo account to log in and display data corruption. I want to delete the game and try again, but I have tried many times and still display data corruption.
I hope so. I hope my account will not be lost.
But I don't know when I can board.
It won't be lost, it just takes a little time for the staff to repair it.
That was great!
I have the same problem with you. I have submitted a bug report.The next time can only wait for the problem to be solved.After all, there is no other way.
I have lost contact with my friends for more than 4 days, and I really miss them.
This incident reminded me that I must have their contact information when I can log in
wait..we cant log in now?
The game is second, mainly I really don't want to lose my lovely soul.

Many friends who use Android can't log in.Including me, too.The reason is unknown at present.
This problem has been going on for 4 days.
me too...
I think I might consider buying an iPad.
I hope we can board the game smoothly!
Was anyone else experiencing issues with Ark being incomplete despite completing all the seasonal quests? 
screenshot for reference:
#beta-screenshots-videos message
I think ark is like that since the second seasonal build
enjoy the enchantment nostalgia 

Enchantment guide wrapped up their stuff and left because of a decrease in profit 😔
Nah, it lived up to it's name and no upkeep made it turn into that. 
Or wind paths is actually a wormhole that lets you travel to past 😳
Everyone forgot the ark 💀
Add a passive wax collection event for arch that is active 1 hour after the gayser and boom
Arch is no longer forgotten
I personally wish for a mushroom farm of sorts.
Grow the mushrooms, water them and get 0.1 candle for each shroom collected
Too late enchantment guide already made up their mind
A practice graveyard plant in the middle of the empty space in Ark area that respawns fresh light after burned every odd hour PDT/PST. 
Maybe add little mushroom spawns around it, also.
Ehm ehm , beta is all right? I mean it is working?



hi! pls dont spam emotes here
this is for discussing stuff in beta 
Idk where to put this but does anyone know the total amout of candles and hearts we need for days of mischief?
You can find info on what was tested in beta in #beta-announcements . But I believe there is also a blog post about the event for Live in #news which should have more accurate info.
Thank you
Please remember that beta is not a preview for Live, so any prices here are subject to change.
I know 😅 i just wanted an idea of how many candles i need to save
I've officially left beta testing, good luck out there 
yes
Rewatching the cutscenes re-restores the Ark, watch them out of order for a fun time
Do anyone have daily quests archive for beta?
Dm me if you have pls
thanks.
I have them now
I wish we could just restore the ark anytime we want. It's so festive and brings back happy memories.
I can't enter the game, prompt: the game data is damaged, please reinstall, but I have reinstalled it many times before this, because the game must be eligible to enter the game?
OnePlus 7TPRO
Try the typical troubleshooting process (clear cache, reinstall from Google play store - no other sources -, try on a different connection) and if they don't help, report as a bug! 
@spark lance see these above

Hi! Anyone else is having a problem updating the app?
There's no beta update, wdym?
...Unless 
No
It's unlikely that they would release a new update on the weekend while they should be taking time off, all I'm seeing is the build from several days ago
On a serious note I doubt we will get our hands on 0.15.5 anytime sooner than November or 4th quest in live
Even if/when we do i seriously doubt they will add such a plot twist the birb is. So more raccoon memes for yall and salty tears for me and Bea
Huh, thats wierd 0_0 yesterday the app was normal and today when i tried to play it “there is a new version! Tap to update”
Delayed update availability? I know that it can sometimes take a few hours for updates to show up in my playstore... Though I haven't experienced the few days kinda delays I've heard about
What is the version number
It was the 0.15.0, its the one that came out like 5 days ago i think… But for some reason the update appeared today
What was the 6 digit number without the dots?
It's the same for most of the Android players
Not most, we dont know. Considering the number of messages (the topic is not burning at all) vs. there are 10000+ android testers, the ratio of affected players is very very small.
True. More people complained about the black screen and crashing bug than this corruption error. 
i just hope it gets fixed soon so we don't have another black screen situation in live 
Dismiss spirit comes after I have a job and kids 💀 
Moreover, it seems that most of those who make mistakes are using Huawei equipment.I am one of them.
Beta has no bearing on what the next ts will be. In fact, first beta didn't have ts at all. Ts system came later to beta than live
yall are very lucky you get most of the stuff live does
hmm... to be more accurate with that, we did indeed test the ts system before it went live, but we didn't have a rotation like we do now. sassy stance was our ts for a whole month before they disappeared for a while, only for us to get the same ts as live a bit later. that happened because testers requested it so that we would have something to do during breaks
We tested Sassy & Guru made a sudden brief appearance before the system went live
That was test, not the actual ts system in sync with live 
Right. The way you worded it sounded as if the system was never tested
Really? 👀I wrote system. regardless otherwise beta players wouldn't have requested it 
I didn't write ts function 
I don’t think I follow. Technically beta used to have a bearing on what the next TS would be, since Sassy was the first test & planned first TS for live, her prices were already revealed (alongside Guru with the sudden appearance.) I used to see lurkers asking for prices & what the next TS would be, later it was no longer needed as the testing concluded. It’s evident by the correction Aeras & I made that the wording is confusing
Sadly, with our global community sometimes tiny nuances like that (TS system vs function testing) can get misinterpreted, though.
Basically beta has nothing to do until the next 30-40 days :p
😏



Don't spam emojis here 

Spamming emojis and chatting off topic will have this channel locked. Please don’t do that to actual beta testers, who may have important findings to discuss. 
Hi! After the last update, I'm having difficulty exchanging hearts. I can't give them in the constellation and in the friendship branch. Is there someone with a similar problem? I want to make sure that I'm not the only one.
Regardless you are the only one there are more than 10000device variations so it's always good to report as a bug so devs will have more information to fix it 
I have read back a little and saw others encountered this too so go ahead to bugreport! 🐛
I have already sent a report about this error. Thanks for the reply.
no autentication info
Does anyone has a price list for Days of Mischief IAPs?
我无法进入游戏,提示:游戏数据损坏,请重新安装,但在此之前我已经重新安装了很多次,因为游戏必须有资格进入游戏吗?
It's in #news in the patch notes. Beta testers don't know prices in advance, the ones in beta are always subject to change.
oh i see! 
I have a question to ask, that is, why did I open the game, and it showed an account verification error?
Where did you download the game? Official Discord beta invite?
Ya some devices have the same issue, it's been present in the bug report
Try the standard trouble solving steeps: restart device, restart app, reinstall, make sure everything such as TestFlight on iOs, google services on Android, etc are updated. If these don't work, sadly there's nothing you can do as far as I know... If that's the case, please take the time to send a bug report to TGC to help them find the cause.
And @shadow plank make sure to try to install beta from Official Google play store, or iOS TestFlight
Ok, thank you!
I haven't boarded the test suit for several days. He always shows that the verification failed, but I updated all of them.💔
Yes you must have a beta account to login,any guest account will got banned
||pls keep discussion in English还有整个服务器都是说英文的,你说中文也没几个能看懂,开发者也帮不了你||
It seems like there's currently a bug that causes this issue, to be sure try the standard trouble solving issues. If those don't help, bug report. Remember this is beta, so there's always the risk to lose data, access or miss things.
Well, it seems that we can only wait for the official to solve this bug.
Similarly, I haven't logged in successfully for 5 days so far.
The problem first appeared after the update on the 6th.
Just a few seconds ago, I tested it, but it was still unable to log in, and it still indicated that the data was damaged.

(⊙o⊙)哇,连游客账号都登录不上去了啊
English only please 
Well, my English is not very good.I can only use the translation software.So now Can the tourist account not be logged in?
No problem!
Correct. Tourist account can not be logged in. It's against rules and could be banned.
To get into legally, you need to get invite for qualification. We don't know when the next invite will be. Read more about it in #beta-faq
📱iOS/Android: Learn about the sign-up process and how to get notified when invites happen in #beta-faq!

Thank you.
I look forward to the day when I get the qualification.

I'm lost, what's a tourist account 
It's a guest account, often referred as to accounts which got into/created in beta without proper invites.
At least this is what I've heard + could deduce from the context
does it count as hacking to enter beta without invites
If you use modified app, or app downloaded for illegitimate sources (not from iOS TestFlight or Google Play), than that's against TOS and can be banned
I think entering beta without invite wave isn't itself bad (it's even normally possible on Android if someone leaves). But it's impossible to enter beta without breaking Terms of Service when there aren't any free spots, as far as I know... To do it you'd have to get the app when you can't download it on the official way, and that's forbidden.

Sometimes it can be downloaded from Google play if someone from android leaves beta program you need to be very very lucky to be there in time.

I think you should know why this happened,what caused the beta server to become unstable.
Beta needs optimization
Beta is for bugs and optimization. Not a substitute of live official Sky.
"BIRB" is being filtered and blocked from message shrines.... What did those skids do this time

I read that as hugs and affirmation 
How
Hey, the bird that followed you in the Wind Paths is unlocked with a quest or something?
Why does my test suit show that the software is corrupted and reinstalled several times
I would make sure you're installing it from the play store and that your Google Play System Update is up to date. (Latest is August, iirc... At least August 2021 Play System Update works for me just fine). Be sure in the app info of Sky Beta shows "App installed from Google Play Store." Any other install method is unsupported and against the terms of service.
Guest account will got a ban
Today is the sixth day to miss my friends


It seems that Android has run out of places for test suits. Will all the officials give out some more places?
Will the ancestors of the little Prince season return
Yes, once Flight ends in live, they'll be eligible to return as traveling spirits
Say, i have been wondering about the Trail Spell on that spirit tree season
Why the Dev didn't make it a Permanent Trail instead of just spell ? Since it was bought with Seasonal Candle , i felt like it is became waste of Seasonal Candle to bought it there, especially when it is not Permanent
I have to admit, I’m just hoarding my trail spells instead of using them 😂😂
Never have I ever used a cosmetics spell.
I just like collecting them
I hoard them
Unless I want to prank a friend by grabbing their hand and giving them a little hat
imo all the different colours could be distracting and out of place, just like how we can't have different hair colours
I think it might have been a change due to feedback on the expensive blessing we used to have in that spot in Seasonal Spirit trees. Personally, I'd rather the chance at some rainbow spells or a campfire spell than a trail I'd never use. Of course, that gamble comes with the chance at yet another resize I might not ever use also. 
I thought the term "test suits" is only for IOS Appstore
oh, it was TestFlight, lmao
test suit is just kinda a translation error
in chinese, the beta server is called 测试服
on their own however...
测试 - test
服 - clothes or suit
Yes,
I think you can use beta completely
After all, there is another word: 入乡随俗
I never expect learning Chinese in this channel
Man…COULD WE JUST…please…
阿西吧
I appreciated TGC work, because they make changed beta now only can access using Google or apple only, using clone/virtual space, no longer work. Thx tgc. It will ended up Game data corrupt. Hope this will come to live version as fast as possible.
Typhoon landing here soon so i guess i’ll dress my avatar as aang and soar the winds smh
Stay safe Koi 
Guest players go brrrr
It's enough to leave this feature in beta, there's no need to port it to live.
The cooldown for re using another crab spell is 5 minutes right. 5 minutes for the consumable spell and re use of another is 5 minutes too?
I'm stucked on fourth quest because there's a bird that cannot be caught 🥺 it's just flying there even how many times I hit it. anyone having the same issues? it's not moving with the wind path too. It's just flapping there.
Never mind. It seems to be a visual bug 🙈 I caught an invisible bird and the quest completed
Look like TGC also bring to live soon, sky no longer work in all clone/virtual space. Yes bring it asap 😊
haha nice try. Too bad they can only happen if new account creation is disabled. thats why it applies data corrupt in beta. I know how sky programming works.
If they fixed the issue with illegal beta testers, I hope they also remove those eerie leg bended moths in live 
Nope, corrupt data it's also appear for old player , if using virtual space.
I can't get into the game.
I can't tell why side are you on, the "I support illegal beta testers" side or "Thank you TGC for removing illegal beta testers" side
Of course support tgc.
I haven't been able to enter the game for four or five days. What's going on?
Assuming it's the data corruption bug, it should be fixed soon when beta testing is necessary (read: when new content comes out)
Oh, okay. Thank you.
try the method in #beta-faq :
Make sure you are signed into the same Google account that signed up for Beta.
Clear data and cache for ALL of the following apps
Google Play
Google Play Games
Google Play Services
Turn your device completely off
Sign back into Google
Try Check sky beta in playstore, if word appear "RED" then your gmail didn't register as tester. If a tester then will appear " gray " word
Is flight finale available yet?
No, not yet
I’ve flown into this bird like 8 times now to free it what am I doing wrong
someone tell the great manta to stop picking me up
Mantas see a skykid and go "ooo shiny"
I don't think it will until Live has it.
To have a surprise I guess-
Ooooh lookie here! Days of Feast testing!
Updoot
Update?
Yes

Surpriseeeeee
Why update always come when i was bouta sleep
f......east....
its fwest this year
it seems so early
I was going to make a feast prediction video after mischief officially came out
Updoot?
Updoot days of feast!!
wait whats happening days of feast? ;0
I assume it won’t start until a specific date or next reset, not too late to get predicting 
Very true 
It says updates to friendship constellations... I’m seriously hoping there’s a new search button!!
Updoot slow 
Mannn it feels like it was just yesterday that we had the ice rink ;-;
Updoot sooo slow 
Hahaha tgc was like gotta post before predictions come out
is it just me or is home more snowy than last years 
How did your download finish already ;-; mine just started
God pls light for all button 🛐
also i missed the ice rink!!! i am the worst at skating but it was so fun
well this is terribly interesting
My prediction was going to be something along the lines of: teleports us to an alternate yetis mountain where we celebrate! Trying to think of something more special after the amazing Mischief event 
...
How some of you finished the update so quick
Ooh that’s a fun idea! I wonder if we’d be teleported to an area with a giant thanksgiving table, kind of like the one from belonging
they should make the krills play christmas music or something /j
I’m still waiting for the patch notes to come out, you guys are so fast, you’re faster than the beta updates ping 😂😂
Awww or an alternate grammas dinner 😭
Could you imagine the belonging spirits coming back for an event - so sweet
Oh we getting ready for Feast? :0
That’s a sweet idea. Bring back all seasonal elders for a feast

omg the snow is backk 
That would be sooo sweet honestly I’d send that to feedback!! It would make the spirits so much more interesting if some of them came to celebrate events with us! Like imagine summer events, we’d have sanctuary spirits!
wait yeah i'm like 90% sure its more snowy than last year, i cant see any grass
i might just be dumb tho
waiting at 25% cutely
Looking at the screenshot posted in #beta-screenshots-videos, it does seem more snowy
i wish i had a fun game i could play while i wait for a certain app to update - ideally a game where i could fly with friends
Can't see it in the PlayStore rip
Ready for some double pings? 
Jetpack Joyride
Genshin isn’t bad XD

i keep getting random seasonal candles out of nowhere? 😭
Can;t wait for the detailed updoot notes from devs
i got my fresh banana milkshake ready 
Judging by the screenshot at #beta-screenshots-videos, there's more snow! That arc at the left wasn't there before!
SO MANY NEW THINGS
The IAP return! WOW
Omg guys, apparently there’s a new area for days of feast like Halloween 😍😍♥️
So many things I'm so excited!

Lol. She was a clone skater girl.

My update isn’t even half finished 🥲😭😭
Hopefully this is intentional... imagine a known-issues with this bug hahaha
nah it's too pretty for a bug
woah days of feast already?
hey how about blizzard in home, maybe at night?
Probably just a measure to keep the Void from sneaking back in
let me post a screenshot for it
I found one hell of a visual bug oh boy 
SORRY IF IM BEING DUMB in testflight the beta version says i have 0.15.0, but the number after that is the same as the one in the newest update message, so did mine update or no,,
I’m very excited to see this update, can’t wait!
it should be build 0.15.5, but the biggest indicator is if you log in and see snow at home.
Hmmm, you’re right, mine too! 🤔
yeah i see the snow :0 it also updated REALLY fast so i was just worried
Google was awake today. It hit the play store for some devices already. Be sure to clear play store cache and data if you don't see it.
Ooh boy, lost 2 pages of my stars in the friendship constellations
gosh it does feel good to have more bugs to find again tho 
Ktjn said things won't be available until reset so is it the DOF items?
most likely. however... the final cutscene for the season should be here already if i am not mistaken
It is here, I just watched it. Give it a watch
ty, also why beta discussion is so quite never seen during new updates, it be several typing
it was a while ago, just wait until reset 
While you're waiting for the reset, don't forget to go around and check out some of the other fixes and changes that were mentioned in the update, to see if they are indeed fixed or if there are still any old bugs (or new bugs) to report 
every time i collect one candle, a massive bunch of candles comes down from the sky it looks like i'm hacking noo 😭
(i only get one candle tho)
There’s a lot of little details to look forward to this update
Skybot now has wings, he's becoming a real skykid bit by bit, update by update 
I wonder if the animal masks blink now too, now that the normal masks do
the return shrine realm light is so cool omg
OMG I love wintery Home!!
Can’t wait for the reset!
is anyone else cant go play beta? mine keep closing the app itself
"removed cape level up hint and sound effects in credits" you mean we are going to visual clues only that we have the final star?
Tbh though i kind of wonder what the implications of masks like the turtle mask and the shaman mask is then, since the eyes dont quite line up with where they would be on the face… i guess thats more of a lore thing then
I love those details, whoever makes em r genius 
gah I wouldn’t want animal masks to blink, would completely ruin the effect of some of them tbh
(also hello I got too curious again, that’s why I’m here)
faceless blinking /j
cant wait to see christmas item
Always imagined that their eyes straight up relocate into the mask, considering masks on skykids are pretty much their face 
The Anubis mask for example, reeeally wouldn’t want it to blink at allllll
would completely ruin the effect
but anyway imma skedaddle, a friend of mine wants me to not see something in fact aaaa
would be cool if u could turn it on/off, I think sky needs more small options like that imo. It makes it easier to personalize how u wanna experience the game
just realized this is the fabled 0.15.5
I seriously love the new home shrine 🥰🥰
Office looks so fun with the rooftop icerink and i like the blinking on tall skykids
Home space is so beautiful! 😭
only base game style (including belonging, enchantment and assembly) and the fox mask blink for me 
What’s th4 difference in the friendship constellation it looks the same
Fox mask blinks? :0 I thought it was only the more humanoid ones
There is no difference in the friendship constellation. Make sure to check #beta-announcements!
Note: Despite what the description in TestFlight and Google Play for this update say, there are no updates to Friendship Constellations in this update. We hope to share those soon though
![]()
I love the shade (sarcastic/funny sentences) in the update notice
why those spirit from other seasons come to flight map just for cut scene and then gone lol
lore 
Don't ask why, if its not mentioned in updates, report it as a bug

tib, i'm pretty sure that was intentional. its part of the final cutscene
lore

yes! posted a vid in #beta-screenshots-videos
The music sheets have been moved around to fit together seasonally :0
love knowing things it's so fun
There’s no more interactions with the spirits in the cutscenes anymore :(
I thought the kalimba spirit chasing you in the third was so good 😭
oh boy, half my friends gone from constelation and emote, stance, spells buttons don't work 🤣
One question, anyone else can't switch from emotes to stances to spells in the menu? And anyone else sees like a bunch of candles and 'stars' (thingy when buy item) when you collect anything?
Do guys know where the day of feast festival map is

days of feast will not start until reset
Ok i see
ooh i'm very content with these prices for feast, everything is fairly priced both in candles and real money
i hope they don't change too much by the time they get to live 
The update notes said to relive the quests, but we can’t. I only see the cutscene.
Anyone else?
You can relive the quests if you sit in the meditation spots for them
i'm also extra interested in that scarf item, is it a neck item or a proper scarf cape like the prince scarf? i cant wait to see 
I think it would probably say cape like the little prince one did but I hold out all of my hope 
I also want more “no cape” options
im excited for whatever it will be
We await reset then
isnt 50 candles for a cape super cheap? i think its an accessory item
personally i think the scarf is gonna be a neck item like the pendants
Trying to find those 4 secret hideyholes is painful
reset is so far away 
same but a bull can always hope 
excited to see the winter ancestor cape 
Andriod shop u better stop hiding the update from me rn 
Ohh new update
feast already though? That's quick
and now the bloom sapling actually blooms when its a quest.. so like, it becomes a full tree
?
I assume so! It'll be a cherry blossom tree like during the event
thats gonna be so cool!!! so many exciting things aa
How much did the halloween antlers cost again?
it happens from time to time, I also have notifs for any messages posted in updates but I do not get them half the time 
i always get mine like 3 hours late 😔
With that price tag, it seems to be an accessory
Omg I can’t wait for tomorrow
i'm glad the meditation circles in trials are being improved 
Woah big update (lol)
all the days of rainbow cakes in realms (prairie, forest, ark, vault) are there rn! go grab
They made an awesome progress, hats off to Sky team ! 
It's just me or anyone else is not seeing the new items?
Some of the pages in my friend constellation appear to be missing, and I can't switch tabs in my emote menu, so that's fun
There’s at least 11 new nodes of x5 candle clusters in Treehouse

When updates like this for events drop, they don't become available until the next reset
the days of feast items are not available yet. the event will start at reset
Then it seems some parts of the friendship constellation update did appear already 
I haven't even gotten a chance to leave Home yet, and I'm already about to start a bug reporting marathon
Such is beta 
Has anyone found the idle wax spot in forests sunny clearing
I've been looking for so long.. and there's two other mystery spots
been trying to look for that one for a while now too
I truly don't know if they mean the butterfly clearing or end of level clearing
back to searching I go!
I’m there too.. not found anything as of yet
Still searchin 
Maybe it will show up on reset 
Prairie cave’s spot is active
Well the one in Prairie Cave is already accessible, so I would think the others are too
I hope they don’t go away when the event ends
The prairie one reminds me of a dry sauna 
did i miss something in the beta update? i don't see anything about idle wax spots :0
It's under the days of feast part of the first update message 
Out in the levels, there are four new places to gather that emit Light for players to collect while relaxing with friends, including spots in Prairie Cave and the sunny clearing in Forest
I’m flying in circles around sunny forest with my lantern like a krill looking for the spot 


ahh thank you i was looking through that but guess i missed it 
nobody's found the forest wax spot yet? 😭
maybe its the fireplace but its bugged 
sunny clearing... is that sunny forest?
isn't that called the elevated clearing in that one meditation quest
I like Sagomay’s updates. A little humor. Nice.
elevated clearing is an incredibly vague description, so maybe they changed it 
has anyone checked the last forest clearing becore valley?
I’ve just gone down into the underground forest just in case 
I wonder if they meant forest caves
Or maybe they mean the very start of forest in the area before the big gate? 
i looked around there a bit but didn't see anything hmm
there's a sunny clearing after the forest temple
only one of the prettiest places in the game 🤧
If its anything like prairies tunnel then its hard to find
but there's nothing here 
What’s the reward for whoever finds it first?
/j
bragging rights
Name it
the reward is the journey :)
imagine its actually in the forest lobby /j... i think
inb4 we all spend hours searching for it just for a dev to come in and tell us it wasn’t actually added/wait till reset 
time to use those forest pin spells i've been hoarding
I wonder where the other two areas are though? They only mentioned the Prairie Cave and Forest one in the update post
did anyone found the new spot to gather that emit light in sunny clearing in forest?
Not yet, that's what we're all looking for lol
Maybe it’s in the elder room 
Heading to the temple now
i dont think it's in the last clearing of forest i looked everywhere 😭
Anyone checked the stumps and or hills?
Could be hidden behind a tree
I think I'm going to explore the other realms a bit and see if I can find any sign of the other two places
I think it’s part of Days of Feast which will begin after reset?
Then why is the prairie one here???
Well the Prairie one is already accessible, although I'm not sure if that is a bug or if the other ones not being accessible yet is the bug
What is that symbol that appears on my screen when I am in the water?
All of us looking for bugged entrances
it's possible the 4 new social light areas won't activate til reset. i need to double check the code.
I think at least one is active but
Is it like that icon looking like a glass from a chem lab or something?
yeah, the one in praire cave is active
nevermind they're active, y'all just need to look harder. they might be hiding in plain sight 
Theres a huge fireplace in valley maze not sure if that supposed to be one or not. No wax to be seen atm
WGAT....


it seems like the valley one is the mountain hot spring in dreams village
This is like trying to play hide n seek at an ikea 
oo I'll take a bet, 3rd treehouse had that fireplace before
Hmm, I would suggest double checking if you can change pages in your emote menu. For some reason, tapping stances/calls or spells doesn't register for me. Will fill out bug report later. Happy bug hunting.
I've been having issues with this too, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Pressing harder sometimes works or like pressing in the exact center of the tab. But it's definitely not registering as easily now
it works for me, but it seems like the hitbox for the tabs is off
I found 2 so far. Sunny Forest could mean multiple areas (clearing, THE Sunny Forest & final clearing)
what the heck is the buddy request statue in prairie village?
In my personal hunt I've tried going over every inch of THE sunny forest with a lantern and didn't find anything
So there one in prairie caves caves cave
One in forrest somewhere ???
And theres a campfire in valleys end map in the tunnel and in dreams hot spring
One in the hot springs in Dreams village
that's great I like that one
maybe the forest one is in the underground with butterflies to collect 1 wing light idk or next to that place with 1 wl too
the grand quest continues
This is one of my favorite part of beta. Bug hunting and discovering vauge new release information
Ouuu what about the fake door in the forrest caves that one?
is it worth giving feedback if you're not a tester, but feel strongly about something?
ok good
nothing there
Lol i jist crashed i leave the hunt to you fellow hunters
Ahh right hot springs have wax
I really like that one 
The constellation gate for the Valley temple maze seems to be bugged, it says 0/1 for a constellation that doesn't seem to exist
Oh wait, I think it's the Little Prince constellation. But still, it's bugged
Or is it the Enchantment constellation? Either way... bugged
About the idle wax spot on Valley Maze, why do I feel like I've already seen that before? Around Beta: Belonging 
I remember seeing those in videos by some Sky YouTubers
Its in wasteland at the dont go parent spirit has a fire roast on top
Wait what’s the area with the pirate boat? Someone posted an image of it on beta screenshots but I didn’t run into it yet
Not that one, I'm referring to the one found at Valley Maze, per Pakka's picture sent on #beta-screenshots-videos
The one in the maze has a bunch of seats around it, but it doesn't seem to be giving off wax like the other two I've been to so far
It has the same stones as the one in wasteland i immediately thought of that when i saw it
Its more than possible that it was there i’m doing maze blindly from muscle memory for more than a year, never really had sharp focus on that area. The white candle is def new tho.
How do you actually use the buddy request statue? I found it, I'm standing next to it, but I don't know if I'm supposed to be able to do anything with it
Also where in the updates does it say this about the spots lol
Under the part about Days of Feast at the very beginning
"Out in the levels, there are four new places to gather that emit Light for players to collect while relaxing with friends, including spots in Prairie Cave and the sunny clearing in Forest"
ah there it is thanks
I was right about the crab roast omg!
interesting
I swear I remember watching a video, on YT, by AppUnwrapper. Not sure which specific video but I remember it was around Beta: Belonging and they were reliving Sparkler Parent, I think.
Not entirely sure tho, just going by memory alone.
Wait wait has anyone checked if the light spot in Forest is the bonfire in the rainy big area? forest brook
dos all new 4 hangout spots give light? the one in valley maze seems to be only a place to hangout
i am quite stumped with the forest one 
Still updating 
idle wax:
Dreams hotspring
Prairie Cave
Crab Roast
Valley end of maze? (I did not get any wax here, I don't think its this one as the update says forest)
Valley end maze is not it, we know the 4th one should be in Forest just haven't found it yet
Hmmm what about the belonging tree? Theres a fire spot in there with the giant table
there's one confirmed at crab roast?
sUnNy ClEaRiNg WhErrreee
There’s the one in dream hot spring no?
i checked every inch of sunny forest with my lantern 😭 cant find it
Ohhh forest eh
what are we discussing again im kinda lost-
Hidden forrests hidden campfire collection spot....
Yes, I'm there right now and it is giving wax
could it be in the assembly treehouse? i didn't do any assembly quests but
The keyword sunny is throwing me off so much 
It called google anti-hack feature. Maybe Jenova Chen won't enable it in live ,you can ask him in twitter for more info
Corrupt data on guest beta players = banned
Confirmed idle wax locations:
- Prairie Cave at the back of where the yoga spirit memory ends
- Valley hot springs in Village of Dreams
- Wasteland crab roast near don't go spirit
- Forest somewhere (not entirely confirmed yet)
I was really hoping on them reusing the hidden room in forest temple that was leftover from light awaits
If you're just meant to stand by the buddy request statue and wait for someone to come across you, then it's working great
I’ve resorted to chibi falling underground and looking up for it and still nada 
according to chris in #beta-screenshots-videos the forest wax spot is the laidback pioneer bonfire
”Sunny”
its.... by the entrance to sunny forest if that counts???
but I'm not getting wax in that spot at all
thats it? i went by and i don't recall any wax
there is a candle and you can sit around the fire now. but we aren't getting wax
I think some of the locations give out wax more slowly than others. I was getting wax from the Wasteland bonfire but it felt slower than the ones in Prairie and Valley
I stayed quite a lot of time in valley's maze and the only wax it gave was from the candle to activate the "sit chat feature"
It gave me some, but I think it bugged out 
That's not one of the locations, the Valley one is in the hot springs in Dreams village
oh sorry....my mistake...
i've been sitting by the laidback pioneer bonfire for over a minute, no wax so i don't think that's it
Yeah I don't seem to be getting any wax from it either, so I'm not sure about this one. I have gotten confirmed wax from the other 3 locations though
try chat or something, maybe there is some sort of a system that affect the speed of the bonfire
forest brook isn't sunny clearing forest 😡 just saying 
interested to see if anything is found in sunny forest
really hoping that its the belonging fireplace that's the bugged wax spot and not this 
a hint would be nice
i've checked under every tree branch? root? in sunny forest and unless i'm just blind its not there as far as i know
First campfire: I got 1 piece of wax as I arrived at the bonfire but nothing since.
Server merged and it went out - relit and another piece of wax.
That was about 5 mins of observing
its not, the fireplace right outside the entrance to sunny forest is where it is
just a few mins ago, i wasn't able to switch between emotes, calls/stances, and spells, but now its working completely fine 
actually i think the trick is to tap at the top of the icon (edit i'm 99% sure it is)
3/4 keep going, i believe in you! 
So.. we have not yet found the last?
we found it
the wax does not work though for some reason.
but but ktjn

and if we aren't getting wax from them.. 
if the wax doesn't work then how do you know it's the right one?
Has anyone checked if there's extra wax in Vault?
there's a candle that did not exist there before, like the other spots. you can sit there too. try looking... outside of sunny forest's entrance. its pretty close to it
or scroll up to see what i said earlier
I have a feeling this one is hidden like the prairie one and that's why they wrote it in the update notes 
the person who found it said they got a little bit of wax before it broke. when me, mlk, and voi went we didn't get anything
so hotspring wax is snowflakes, woah 😳💛
Has anyone tried OOBing under either the forests end or beginning for any new geometry?
I shall check but if there's no wax I don't think it will be the place
after scouring sunny forest in oob there isn't anything there 
I think maybe it was misundersood by the wax we get for lightning the candle to sit and chat
There are so many things in this new update aaaaa
could it have been wax from lighting the candle? i can't remember if i got any hh
check the place where there's a campfire close to where the rainbow show up in forest brook
You're right, that seems to work! Thanks for pointing that out, that was a major pain
#beta-screenshots-videos message
this is the spot. we looked for a while in sunny forest and there wasn't anything there. this is new though
yep! I tried lighting it but it did that thing where it wouldnt light on fire and it repeatedly gave me wax lmao
the last one's been mentioned, and it doesn't work like the others.
I think ktjn just tried to give us a gentle hint that there is somewhere we missed
.. oh? nvm?
campfire, I would wager
Ah, so that means it's not the bonfire near the sunny forest entrance then
