I'm sorry. Luckily there's plenty of us who can test and make sure you can enjoy it live.
3 reports in Discord beta faq, 1 letter to the bot and 1 letter in support.
but we are filling sad.... š
why it happens with me omg.... my beta worked correctly until that week...
Sorry, I don't mean to come across as attacking, I legitimately want to help figure out why these items might be missing for you.
That said, I wish you luck in finding a solution ^^;
Sorry my apologies too, ppl telling me to go to office multiple times and i am kinda sad i gonna miss it again
i wish it's just a small crash.... š.... to be in beta is my biggest dream... and I finally became a tester... and over the past week, it's like the world has collapsed after this apocalypse.
i wish tgc would fix it soon... and i won't miss that event... why it has happened with my beta...
Yall want to be in beta? it's like a bag of responsibility!
no, i AM actually in beta
So i just do ss candles and log out since i have to run a whole 6 realms in live too
and my dream came true... however, this breakdown completely killed the good mood
Honestly I'm not on beta because I don't think I can take the mental responsibility to be searching bugs and reporting them
But to be fair, being unable to login is also a bug you've found on itself and worth reporting. So I guess you're working both ways!
me who play beta just to get free cosmetics and some time when i counter hacker i report them
and you don't know why the beta broke?
Make sure you have accessed Sky Beta thru legitimate means, they're only officially available thru Google Play Store (Android) and Testflight (iOS) thru Invites here in Discord
PS: I don't mean this in a accusatory tone 
i don't think that's the main reason.. i know one girl, who plays beta from internet download... it works correct
and i know some people, who play google play beta and it's broken.
that's unknown apocalypse š
Well, it would pose some issues, not to mention a breach of EULA/TOS, if they obtained the app thru illegitimate means.
what is TOS..
Terms of Service
Btw what happened with your beta?
End User License Agreement/Terms of Service
um... just write me YOUR GAME IS CORRUPTED
that's not only in my beta.
Oh i am sorry hope it will be fine soon
people in reports are also have that
No one knows. It's open upon demand
huh, scary
Whenever TGC needs more testers
ok thanks
i wish i will use the link again
cuz i think it will work.. oh, I don't know what to do anymore, I cried yesterday out of resentment.
i hope it comes when im on my phone or smthing,
it's 1: 00 in the morning in China,good night everybody.
It depend on your fast hand,caz i did missed two invited just baz of slow hand
gdnigh
dang š¦
Whose here waiting for the beta update at 3AM
For me the invite come at night 3 am tho
pro tip: don't panic during invites lol.
source: i panicked and barely got in, review what to do beforehand so you are familiar with the process
OMG THE BOT ANSERED ME
they come on an as needed basis, there's no set schedule
There is no set schedule for the invites anymore, they will come whenever TGC needs more testers. They've said right now that their testing needs are met, so it probably won't happen now
Dang, well Im back to my studies
Sometimes a month, many times more
ok, out of curiousity, after the update, i noticed that lot of people on my friendship constellation were gone.
it that a glitch of some sort or was access removed? a lot of them haven't been online in a really long time
I'm really hoping that next beta update will fixed the screen of Android players saying, Game data corrupt and finally gonna play my capeless cape account.
Report it as a bug 
Illegitimate players were unlikely removed from constellation, at most logically they should be inactive
anyways, how is everyone?
Good
huh
I've encountered this too today. I played around and 'unfavoured' a few friends to see where they would move too and they disappeared too.
I have plenty of space in my constellation.
oh, must be a glitch then...
i honestly want tgc to make a function to like give us the ability to delete ppl without blocking them
The wordĀ glitchĀ is usually used when anĀ unintendedĀ game state isĀ achievable, due to an unforeseen issue in the game's code. It's a bug in constellation.
I really expect a snowman to dance around the home space and give wax but GrANdma took the shot
Bug I have the same thing...
It's so annoying tbh
@celest compass @hallow shore
Did you install beta app from playstore or test flight?
Playstore
You mean, install or update
What device are you on?
Samsung Galaxy A50
My update wonāt finish downloading
It works fine for me, try bug reporting
Make sure you have enough storage
the update took a really long time for me, you can try giving it some time or clearing up space on your device
I have iOS, update starts, gets to about halfway then stops.
try clearing your cache or delete stuff, that's what i always do when that happens
Hhmmmm ok Iāll have to google how haha thank you everyone!!!!! šā„ļøšš»šā„ļøš
I am not happy
Why do i feel like the igc items are too good to be true
I hope tgc doesn't change it š
About what? 
someone please give grandma a blanket,,,this is parental neglect
I donāt think I have known all that many illegitimate players, and Iāve got friends from pre-iOS release. It truly looks like some of them are just missing.
My constellation friends have been cut down too. And I know itās not just the shady ones cause somebody sent me a heart in game and no matter how many times I reset I canāt get them to show up in my constellation. Another forever š“ to go along with the emote š“.
so the beanie is a hairstyle or a hat?
It's a hairstyle
Ugh I wonder how long some of us will wait for the resolution of this problem
The problem with friends constelation and data corruption
I know it's beta tho
One question, where can I see when the Beta is available?
I ask myself the same question ?
Before I had seen a channel that warned, but I do not see it
I would like to participate in the beta but there is no invitation link so I don't know maybe we have to wait
There is no link they just give you a code and you enter that into an app called TestFlight
Yee a new update
@delicate shuttle this isn't the place to discuss that
New update killed my game second time
Heyoooo the snowflake accessory isnāt working right? Or just me so i should do bug report?
Itās missing for everyone
@ruby orbitWe're not going to allow discussion of ways to get around TOS
how can i know when he will give the code ?
About the switching emote tabs issue: if I touch the tab buttons top almost at screen edge, emote tab switching works.
@hollow stirrup Folks have said multiple times in this channel already that there isn't a schedule, and that you should read the #beta-faq channel to see how to be pinged when invite links are posted
Around what? 
You can get yourself a beta tester invites role
Updoot
updoooot
Read #beta-faq how! No one knows when the new invite will be open. @ruby orbit
Lol it aināt me
Okay i see
TOS stands for Terms Of Service
But I wasnāt speaking about it what the hell-
I was just very happy because a friend I haven't heard from for a long time met her by chance on discord and i just said āAPO HERE U AREā so idk š„²
it sounds like a misunderstanding to me 
Thereās so much to test but Iām supposed to be working 
is the feast elder cape the cheapest iap cape that's been introduced? iirc the cheapest they've ever been is $15-20
What if the krill were white and they made it snow with their krill krusties
The earth cape was $5 if I remember right
Office looks so pretty 
Is there really an update? Cause the build number is the same (178284) Or did they just change the version number to 15.5, was 15.0 for me last update. I didnāt get a TestFlight notification
it updated, that happened to me too
The update is 0.15.5. We were on 0.15.0, so yes itās an update š
Give me your šŖµ š„ cold grandpa!!!!!!!!
why must the new cosmetics be expsenive i dont got everything for it lol
Then I apologize for misunderstandingāsorry about that!
Why can't I log in to the game? It shows that the game data crashes. Uninstall and reinstall.
It was mentioned in previous discussions with agreement that compared to rainbow cape cosmetics are not expensive. A hair accessory have been 50-55 candles. IAP prices haven't raised significantly either.
Where did you download Sky beta from?
š±iOS/Android: Learn about the sign-up process and how to get notified when invites happen in #beta-faq!
Switch: The Switch Beta testing period has ended with Live launch. All future content testing will be conducted on Mobile only.
Google store
Was it downloaded from Google store very first?
What's your device model? (Example: Samsung S10)
Yes, it was first downloaded from Google Store. . . Mobile phone model (OPPO Reno6ļ¼
i didnt catch the names of the items in the beta shop, can someone send a screenshot?
Is this the Chinese version of oppo Reno 6?
Yes
This is the issue. Chinese version doesn't have factory installed Google play. You installed Google store, which is not compatible with Sky anymore.
- You must have entered Beta from a legal invite wave.
I'm afraid no more beta for you
So, I can't play with test clothes now....
the new days of feast cape is quite disapointing
I love the icy blue reflection in the water before hitting play. I love overall this winter home. One of my favourite home theme. It's so playful, yet it has a chill atmosphere with that snow. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
I want to test the qualification of the suit, where can I get it?

hey can i ask?
which time playen can collect light in sunny forest and temple of valley? a random player says me "its like in gayser"
How do I get a test suit now?...
i still need help with this, please ping me in #beta-screenshots-videos š
Hello!
If, like me, your version is still 0.15.0 but your build is 178284, youāll see in TestFlight that you have to update again today to 0.15.5
Idk what caused the delay though
When I enter the beta, I log in, the message appears that the data is corrupt, asking to reinstall. I've installed and reinstalled several times.

Are you qualified to test the suit?
I bought the snowflake pin
it didn't show up on anywhere
(I'm on Android btw)
alt thanks-
This is a bug.
Can't Android phones play with test suits?
is the igloo at home supposed to blocked off?
Do you think it might open up as the event progresses?
Also the snowflake light/wax at home seems really slow compared to say bonfire...or does it just feel like that because it's spread out?
Android has a beta version, see #beta-faq for more information
i dont get notifs from beta updates channel anymore idk why
Has it been confirmed that gramma and the other new idle light events/areas are permanent fixtures? I remember reading something about it yesterday but I canāt find it for the life of me 
if we'll have dinners for the rest of eternity I'll melt 
Speaking facts
Heheheš¤
Nvm, I just understood that they replied to you, XDD
I thought that they replied to someone else's message and you were surprised about that
Yeah, some people experience this bug (i have the same problem)
ļ¼ļ¼
this @proud coral ?
Why did Belonging Grandma appear? Could this be the beginning of returning ultimate gifts? Or is it just random?
Ahh yeah, it was thanks. Still kind of cryptic
event related and permanent light installations.
incredibly incredibly unlikely. They probably just want all past season guides in the game in some way and gramma making dinner was a very cute way to achieve that.
Ahh well makes sense I guess. Was kinda hoping xD
Wishing for devs to update it so it's 1 hour apart from gayser and instead of ornaments it's mushrooms and/or cooked crabs

Could still happen someday, but I don't think grandma returning now has anything to do with ults returning
uhoh beta keeps closing for me everytime i open it
She's gotta get out of the cold sometimes.
Um... for some reason I got another update from TestFlight, the description is the same as last one... anyone else the same?
the MUSHROOMS oh god that would be perfect.
Um they changed candle cakes area in Vault? :0 or am i dreaming 
There's an extra one from Days of Rainbow in each realm right now, it's just a bug. Not sure if any other cakes are different
next time she'll offer us bells for dinner
she likes snow so much she doesnt want to melt it 
Ping off. Just noticed the version is 0.15.5 and build is same 178284 
GAYSER šššš
I quickly looked at the version number and it was 0.15.0 before (same build).
Guys someone took me to area(incomplete i think) with prince cape
First I'm afraid of under water. that guy tell me to look at the water. There's something...
I have been freaking out. and lefted the game

yeah i mean like it's weird why would we eat xmas ornaments for dinner? š š“
You were taken to an area not meant to be accessible yet
If you have them added in-game please do report them
Oh dear
yea I re-open the game and reported them already

Can someone give me a hint on the last new idle wax location?
does anyone know how to get to the snow house? iāve seen a lot of posts about it but have no idea where it is 
Sunny forest where the big table is. Happens in every two hour just like geyser, so its not constant as the other 3 (hot springs, prairie cave, wasteland crab barbecue)
Next batch is in 24 minutes
Thank youā¤ļø
Isn't there an idle light location in forest Brook too? š¤
no, some folks were mistaking it for one, since there's been a bonfire there for years
Tho Is it idle wax collection if you can't be idle there?
P. S. Saying this while assuming that the afk timer works in those places as well
Afk timer is like time. It is universal 
It should honestly go.
I'm perfectly fine on stumbling sleeping friends.
I actually have a growing collection of screenshots of Uzephi sleeping
.... This sounds weird and creepy now jesus
Or if I'm planning on staying in the server I totally don't prank them by putting a table over them or something like that.
In a way I am actually helping them by providing some privacy and protection for their sweet dreams
Are you in fact Coulson?
I saw some talks about some missing bird and I feel like Iām missing on some joke or something 
Seen in the #news before season of flight released there was a big fluffy bird featured behind the light whisperer. This was the same species as the bird from the season of rhythm finale.
Two chaotic gays after seeing it started theorising that the big bird might be added to the game since it is featured. With high hopes and decent memes they started hyping up for the bird posting raccoon and birb memes for Ktjn and Ash, while waiting for 0.15.5 to arrive.
Sadly the bird is nowhere to be found now so those 2 gays are causing arson all over the hidden forest in hopes of numbing the pain.
Wait, hold on, pause.
You saw that in live channels? That could be a completely different thing then
A missing little bird? Because maybe the wind paths change from quest to quest and maybe there is a little bird to come
Wait how do i do the 5th quest in flight if i already completed it?
You can meditate at the trigger point again...by the dock in front of the waterfalls iirc?
There's that little bird buddy in Wind Paths after you relive Whisperer, could be that
Which is the only thing that I donāt like ? Well the Assembly backpack for the pillow if come a prop thatās is IAP have the own design if is free then no better put Assembly backpack nobody will tell something. ( being respectful but someone has to say it.)
Oh no, I really saw in the beta channels
So what you're saying is, you think the assembly backpack is not attractive and it's over-used? Maybe you can write a feedback at #beta-feedback 
Oh wait, I think I know what you might've been reading: something about one of the birds seemingly not being collectible in the 4th seasonal quest?
Whats the order of flight tunnels unlocked?
they were all unlocked for us during testing, so we can't really answer that unfortunately
If you're in Live, the tunnel to the forest cavern is already open. It'll be used for one of the quests. For the whole wind path, we'll just have to wait as the quests get unlocked. A few of them utilize the windpath itself, and they'll open up
I did it
Ohh so the wind tunnels werent unlocked by quests on beta? I see...i guess thats for faster testing.
Updated but my friends are still missing, why? š„²š„²š„²
Well, I think they were, but the whole list of quests were available to us at once. We didn't have to wait for weeks until we could complete them, so I presume most people got through them at once
Shhh, I'm just role-playing Minecraft when I sit afk in front of the many farms built. 
did anyone else just get an update notif from testflight even tho thereās not actually one?
Can't open my beta day 2
Ah, yes, thatās the same build
Hi
I went back and found the messages, twas on screenshots channel and matches what ignis was talking about. Actually it was Ignis the one talking about it š
it's the same build with a different version because it can take apple several days to approve the new version. so instead of making iOS people wait several days we sneakily released it as a 15.0 build until 15.5 was approved. so folks recall any incidents where google got to test right away but iOS folks had to wait, that's what was happening behind the scenes. we tried to avoid that this time around. by "version" i mean "atch number (e.g. 0.15.0 or 0.15.5)
KTJN š¤š°š§
Oh, I remember when Android entered Flight testing but iOS couldnāt. Makes sense, haha
I don't know what you mean by those emotes could you elaborate @wide monolith
It's what your name sounds like to me
not sure if you're trying to be rude or make a joke 
Oh, kaching?
Like a cash register sound yeah
ahh "ka-ching" Onomatopoeia = "ktjn"
It...does kind of sound like something that could've appeared on the blackboard of names
psure kaching is on there
Lovely
Ah yeah -- was Forest's new wax spot just for a limited time, or a permanent addition? Think there was some confusion about that one in particular
oh my bad it has "ka-chin" close! folks we got a new one! 
Congrats on making it onto the board 
Yaaay

as i got, the forest spot is like geyser, the others are permanently giving lights
Ah right, that's not what I meant -- I was asking if it's only around during Days of Feast or whether it'll still be there afterwards, since the new spirit at Home looks very similar to Belonging Guide
ah sowwy

it's permanent but functions similar to the geyser. whereas the others work more like the bloom tree or summer bonfire.
Finally, our kids have some place to get fed on a regular basis 
I love that you guys brought back belonging grandma and with the theme of winter feast it just hits the spot.
Hope to see similar things with other seasonal guides that can't be found anywhere
my favorite spot is probably the hot springs in dreams village
I already chill and dance at the creb bbq, so that's where I'll most likely hang out
Btw with assembly getting new wax and dreams loosing some I really wish devs add some wax candles in dreams with better placement
Like in between the houses, next to some entrances, on top of some houses. So we actually go through the village and not just fly over it.
Noted
šø
Grandmaās dinner is more fun than geyser, Iāll visit it more often 
What can I say, I just love GW... So glad it got a passive wax location. It was neglected in the Daily Light candle additions, so at least it has this going for it, now.

is days of feast the first event to have a music sheet?
Ugh I can't enter beta. Right after I open it crashes 
I think so
I just love Days of Feastsā cosmetics ā¤ļø
I only wish the hats could be worn over our hair, and maybe have some pants to go with the capes.
And yes, I know my way to feedback 
Please fill out a bug report with your device information that the bot requests. Also, please keep in mind, devices that didn't come preloaded with Google Services from the manufacturer most likely have a missing library the game is looking for, causing it to crash. (This means your device isn't compatible for the game)
Even tho mine is a huawei it came with Google services
Then filling out a bug report should help. I would also double check if there is an update for Google Services since the last Huawei device that was compatible with Google Play Services would be over two years old by now, so hopefully an update to the services might fix the issue. (Any device released after May 2019 by Huawei will not have Google Services pre-installed)
I think the problem is sky Beta. I was able to log in the live version
I'll make a bug report later on
Beta keeps crashing for some ppl for some reasons all we can do is keep waiting for the new update hopefully they'll fix this issue
I have the same problem don't worry!
It is an issue with Beta, but it could be a feature they added that utilizes a new library call in an updated version of Google Play Services, so making sure that is up to date would be the first step to make sure nothing software side on your phone could be causing it.
Edit: also making sure you pass basic attestation (CTS) would be a good thing to check also. (Any safetynet checking app on the play store can check this for you.)
Is the season going to be extended or?

Don't think so honestly. Most of the testing is already done
oh nuggets :c I didn't finish collecting everything lol
Had crazy burn out so I haven't played as much
Yeah, this conversion is going to be a light one for me, also.
It's okey at least you'll be able to collect them in live... I didn't finish lpp neither in beta nor in live and lpp will never ever ever return
Sky burn out is real sob
Anyone else that were hoping the food we were served was the firecrabbers that got removed from Lunar event?
Yep, or mushrooms
Ark Mushrooms 

#beta-announcements should have the following info about Days of Feast 2021 Items Prices.
Do note that those prices may or may not change

I can't open my Sky Beta after updating it ;-; there is no problem with my device nor my storages
Does anyone here have the red gratitude cape in beta? I have it on live but I wanna see if the new scarf overlaps the red neckline 
Why are there a bunch of nameless children of Light on my friends page after an update
Is anyone else having trouble receiving the feast hat and snowflake flower? They just did not show up in my items after choosing them. I did get the feast cape
All the quests begin with meditation iirc, after that the cutscene will show what needed to be done. I forgot the order of the quests tho
The snowflake pin is bugged better report it, not sure about the feast hat as i haven't bought it
I know that, but I forgot to pay attention
@sleek pelican thanks. Should we report it? In feedback?
I don't know what I need to do for the third quest, and the second time you open up the clouds it leads to the Prophecy Cave.
They're not gonna make me do the water trial for this are they?
@elder hatch haha water trial

I think it belongs to bug report channel 
Closing the app and meditate again not showing cutscene?
Meditating still does the candle quest
There are several meditation circles.. one for each quests i believe
so u need to meditate at the correct circle
I'll figure it outā¦
Am I the only one who just noticed that if you ā„ļø a note the candle flame lights up bigger 
What update did this happen itās so cute 
wAIT FRR
Help me i still cant open my Sky Beta :( i've restarted my phone. What should i do now?
me too
I hate it here I finished the quest and now it made me start OVER
When you still can't log onto beta because it just crashes
Oh..so i'm not the only one
Is te beach ball spell becoming permanent? #beta-screenshots-videos message
Since the beach ball spell isn't in the patch notes, we wouldn't know. Hopefully it can be clarified in a future updates post or clarified here by staff.
we cant wear snow hairpin?
it will not be extended
currently broken, should be fixed in a future build
it's not permanent, but it will look/behave differently than the "summer" version. it's kinda like how the message boats change during some events.
Never mind, I just finished all the quests
So its like the ball concept is returning but the beach ball is just a placeholder till the real item gets coded in?
the "winter"/feast version is heavier and will look different (should be taking shape some time next week)
Hello Ktjn, I just have a question regarding friendship on sky. Is there a reason why we cannot unfriend others?
Is Sunny Forest wax event limited or permanent?
patiently waits for it to act more like a snowball and allow us to have snowball fights for Winter event. 
essentially yeah. same spell but behaves differently, it's a new thing we're experimenting with.
more ball yayyy
it's meant to act more like a giant...hockey puck
now we need mini hockey sticks
Ooo, does that mean it will slide on places like ice rinks but almost stops in snow or grassy areas? 
perhaps next winter 
ice is more slippery, so it should be more sticky on other types of terrain.
Can't wait to play some good ole hockey in Sky. 
i could see a retracted crab as a hockey puck
Oh no, grandma has us playing shuffleboard now 
Is snow more slippery/slidey than grass? Or is it the same
In the game's physics, it seems snow is a little more slippery to me than grass. Not by much, though.
snow and sand are prolly similar, grass is less so, stone def lacking in the slipperiness ofc
Thank you for responding! Sad it wont get extended :c
Oh no, I just remembered Nat next to the ice rink on top of the office. I hope they don't mind getting hit in the shins by giant pucks 
it ran for 53 days with like 500% seasonal candle gathering speed, so there's not much reason to extend it. this patch covers the final quest updates, but that can be accomplished whether the season is active or not.
perhaps that's why they are rocking an eyepatch 
Will there be a patch for the crashing <:?
i don't recall any major crashes occurring right now, but we're always working on fixing those things
if you mean the "data is corrupt" situation, i've talked pretty extensively with engineering, there's no problem on our end.
Ktjn, may I ask? if there's some changes made to Android Graphics Settings on select devices? My device (Huawei Nova 5T) used to be able to run High Performance Mode 60fps but Post-Update it can only run High Def Mode 30fps.
Clarifying first, before I send in any reports
a couple of people can't log into the game past the black screen of the game starting up-
I've reinstalled Beta twice, and I'm pretty sure its updated 
we refactored a lot of how graphics are rendered, but i don't believe we've made changes to how existing devices are rated for 60fps, though we did add info and data for newer devices with previously unrated hardware. i'd recommend reporting the bug regardless, and see if things change in the next build.
Noted, thanks for the input 
anyone else have their friend constellation flashing with a red dot, like there's hearts to collect or such, but find nothing to collect when they check it out?
A good thing to check is making sure Google Play Services is up to date. If you're on an older version, there could be a new verification call added to the game causing the crash. (Hopefully this link doesn't make a bot eat the message) Follow this link on your phone (It should pull up the play store listing of Google Play Services)and make sure it's up to date. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en_US&gl=US 
Does the sunny forest event start in 15 min? Ok

It just has a button to "deactivate"
That's odd. I wonder if Google isn't updating any Huawei device's Google services, then. 
Thank you for helping even if it didnt quite work^^ hopefully this gets resolved soon 
I thought Huawei was running on open-source android without Google Mobile services?
Huawei Devices released before May 2019 still have Google Services on them.
It seems there are a couple of game crash reports which specifically happening on Android 9 only
those are hacked, it's not currently an oob
It wasn't an oob, it was someone breaking the TOS to access an area that shouldn't be accessed by players. For all we know, it could be old concept assets that never made it to the game.
Ohhh ok thanks for clarifying!
............ Do I need to make raccoon memes for underwater season now? 
only if you want Ktjn to smite you
the philosophy is that we don't want someone to unfriend someone in a moment of passion, regret the decision and never being able to find that friend again, unless you just so happen to be able to contact them outside the game. instead we suggest you block that person, so you have the opportunity to change your mind.
- was not Ktjn watching us guess what was coming next
was Ktjn watching us suffer for something we will not get
She knows....
I know all more than you prolly realize
Do you know if we are getting the bird or do I have to make more memes until I waste away?
And I know she knows....
thank you for your reply. I appreciate it but I guess then we should have some extended pages on our constellations because the current limit is causing much inconvenience for anyone with more than 72 friends. With around 100 friends, I find myself everyday blocking then unblocking people just so I can light them all. And I think I am not the only one suffering this.
I think suggesting a ālight allā option defeats the personal connection we have with friends, so asking for extending limit of friends display isnāt too much of a stretch? 
iirc, there was talk of a revamp on the constellation but other UI improvements need to be in place first.
I can say with like 99% confidence, a "Light All" function will never be implemented. We're aware of the friend constellation frustrations and have been working on improvements for well over a year. Please be a patient with us just a bit longer 
how long does the testing for Christmas event last ?
Problem for me is how many people you āfriendā over time. Even adding people for group candle runs, is adding friends and over time this list just grows monstrously big... I canāt help but think the friendship constellation needs some visual updates
Are they coming anytime soon? Like before the 0.16.0?
As long as it needs to last.
now for what i was typing up but halted
this is amazing news >< sincerely ;-; has the team thought about making updates to the emote menu as well?
i'm 99.7% certain a nontrivial number of you beta regulars linger in places where ToS-breaking activity occurs, regardless of your motivation for being there, so please don't play like you haven't seen the leaked content. I love me some memes and tongue-in-cheek humor but the hacker stuff is extremely distressing and what you think is fun is actually pretty damaging. so please don't toe the line with server rules and things involving violating ToS, be in jest or otherwise.
again, thank you for your reply and I appreciate the team trying to work on a solution. I will remain hopeful that one day this update will come in the foreseen future
Have a good evening 
Ktjn, I've heard rumours of an underwater season coming soon along with a diving feature (there is a bug where an icon changes when you're on water, people are saying its a feature that's bugged) Is that true? 
I handle almost all of the takedowns for hacked and leaked content, it's incredibly heartbreaking to see people reveal stuff that's not ready because their either lack fulfillment in their real lives so they look for quick hits of dopamine (in the form of likes/shares/views/etc) to feel better about themselves or "stick it to evil TGC" or be "first" to show off new stuff before anyone else. It hurts the development team's morale and honestly spoils the extremely joyous moment of getting to show our players all the really cool stuff we work long and hard on and hope you enjoy playing through as much as we enjoyed making it.
last i checked if it's not in #news or #beta-announcements then the information is unreliable.
In relation to that: with helpbot being retired soon, which channel should we be using now if we wanted to report things like hacked videos outside of this Discord?
I swear I JUST discovered that there is hacked content regarding that specific thing we talked about and now looking back at my messages I realise how suspicious it looks like and for bystanders pov it will seem like a hint on the hacked content
I ask you to trust my word on this as I repeat. I JUST found out about it from here
bruh... talking about hacks and hackers is against the rules @lucid star
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 
Anyway, if I tell y'all where to find "a certain person whose name starts with V" (thanks skybot), do I get a scooby snack? š
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 
that's about all i'm gonna say on the hack/leak situation. server rules about those topics should be observed once again. with helpbot going away, the CMs will likely be more present in the channels and many will have their DMs open for things outlined in #news you can always send your hack reports to support in-game (they have an avenue to get those reports to me for takedowns)
Please keep in mind, it isn't just "spoiling leaked content." It is directly breaking the terms of service and in most countries, illegal. (modifying and reverse engineering code that isn't yours and against the copyright owner's wishes is highly illegal.)
Sorry to interrupt you ktjn, I want to ask if you can fix the problem that some Android devices cannot log in before the end of the Christmas eventļ¼
I've talked to our engineers and it's not a problem on our end. You will need to reconcile your google applications' certificates. If you miss the event in beta, you can always catch it on Live.
OK tq
Quick question, when beta invite waves initiate, it is when there's a shortage of beta testers? Do the developers basically kick out inactive beta testers beforehand? 
I assure if I knew what was going on I wouldn't make jokes about it. I wouldn't even mention it.
I've been around here for over a year now and I've made guesses almost every time. This was just another one of those. I know how hacked content should be treated. I've helped reporting a lot of hacked content on many platforms and never ever talked about it.
I once again apologise because now I know how suspicious and bad my messages looked like. And I apologise for continuing this topic, I just want to make sure I am not misunderstood
If needed feel free to delete this message
For iOS, yes, inactive testers get removed from the program. From what was relayed to us, there isn't an option like that on Google's Play Developer dashboard, so Android users won't get removed if inactive. They would need to select the "leave program" button.
#news says after October 15, so before that, would we still send stuff to helpbot?
That was essentially the way it worked before Google changed things on their end so that Android testers no longer leave the program. From what I understand, now they send out invites when they need to add more active testers to the pool, but only iOS testers can be removed from the program due to inactivity now.
Then I'm guessing there are lesser slots for android beta, since I don't think many players would want to leave the program after a long time
Will the next beta testers invite be posted here?
No, actually the opposite. There is no limit on testers for Android. TGC just puts a limit to make it fair between iOS and Android. when slots open up on iOS and they need testers, they increase the "limit" on Android.
I'm strictly talking about anything now that you know. Can't fault anyone for things they didn't know. You're fine. 
business as usual til helpbot gets the daily questgiver treatment <_<
no event for me ig
atleast i can get it in live..
Iām sure this has been answered but I canāt find it, does any Nintendo beta testing happen? Is that even possible?
I GASPED
helpbot is being thrown to the krills
hii!! im have an android phone and my beta kept crashing, i tried to reinstall but it still does, is there anyways to fix it?? 
Daily Questgiver treatment means the home statue took helpbot's job too
Android beta test never be kicked. Android beta capacity is unlimited. Not like iOs testflight where the limit is real and inactive players get kicked.
Well, It's one device. (Technically 3, but they all are essentially the same in a bare metal sense) So it can get beta tested internally. It isn't like Android where someone could have a random, off-the-wall device and has issues they couldn't find on a different device internally.
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 
Notice how there's now another statue in praire that doesn't have a function yet? 
Is it a known issue that the feast table appears as the bland usual wooden table?
Next season will have statues instead of spirits
I shall now call it the "HelpBot tombstone" from here on out. 
now I can't help but feel like the Home shrine's face lighting up is the trapped soul of the daily questgiver calling for help

Is there a reason why outfit/cosmetic requests in #beta-screenshots-videos isn't allowed?
I have this problem with my feast table too... No recharging š¢
nintendo doesn't allow for public beta testing after a title has been released to live. and they only permitted a single build before official release. this applies to all games on the platform, not just sky.
Since the items are still in Beta and may subject to a degree of changes
I believe the pins go into detail but essentially:
Everything is subject to change and beta isn't for previews
That makes sense
Thanks for the answer
Also, if we're logging in to give previews, that would take time away from us testing. 
Adding to that, is if an item did change after the said request, it may cause false expectations leading to disappointment, ig 
Changes is part of it (but that mostly applies to charts) the big thing is due to the limited number of tester slots, there were a lot of requests coming through and people being pretty rude at times if someone ignored the request (it's also not a tester's responsibility to take or honor those kinds of asks, especially when you can scroll through the #beta-screenshots-videos channel freely and find almost everything already being shared) so we decided to no longer allow requests of any kind. it alleviates the expectation that beta is "early access" or a "sneak preview" which is not the purpose beta is meant to serve.
It's totally okay to be curious and ask questions, but it's not okay to make demands of fellow community members.
Oh ok. Well I guess I could try and get used to playing it on my iPhone
To be more cynical, if someone cannot be bothered to scroll up and look at existing screenshots, what makes them think someone else wants to take the time. It's about being respectful of one another's time.
When will the next round of test server qualification begin?

does anyone here have the red gratitude cape in beta? I've got it in live but not in beta, but I wanted to see if the scarf overlaps the red neck fur, to anyone who replies, thank you sm for showing me! 
SilentBeast, we cannot accept outfit requests. Please check the pins 
Any android player has the update available? Not working for me still
Oh I didn't know that, thank you for telling me that!
Hi Ktjn. Only because the issue with some android users doesnt seem to be caused from your end, do you think this update will cause a problem again when it goes to live if nothing is resolved by then? 
Oh gee, Iām stupid.. youāre in beta... hmmm Idk how the rules apply to beta testers tbh, Iād guess it might be the same
I'm not sure either since I rarely talk here
Anyways am I the only one in loveeee with the whittle winter hat?/ itās sooo cuteeeee š¤©š¤©
I don't like bald 
Has TGC ever sued a leaker? 
im andriod 8 here and i have it
I dont think so but they did ban some 
Please do bug report it so TGC knows your device is having an issue playing the game. Without bug reports, it might go under their radar.
How should Android apply?...
How should Android apply?...
Don't have to send another message, #beta-faq already gives you all the information you need
well do
question
am i the only one who crashes after entering the sky beta?
I think if they started to, that would really quite them down, but the question is how they can even retrieve this type of information...
Why my message disappears when I send it?
So is Grandma kinda just hanging out in sunny forest šļø
I was able to enter the sky beta before the update. Why can't it after this update?
is it possible to purchase the antlers? because i wasnāt able to last year :/ if so where do we find it?
in here? maybe u hit filter?
same
Let me make it short, yesterday a newly friended player took me to a bizarre place with their asteroid cape. They eventually unlocked the chat and said it's the new season. I was flattered to hear that. I immediately left in awe and utter confusion. The place was looking unfinished and so watery and many remains of sky buildings. I reported that player, ever since then I haven't seen them online

you used an abbreviation for a curse word that hit the filter.
i canāt really find the spirit with the antlers :/ where do i find them?
Hmm I don't know where that could be, but we could jump in Beta and try searching it together! As testers, it's important for us to look for things ourselves before asking questions and submit any struggles to TGC in #beta-feedback. That way we are helping many Live children that could have the same questions 
Aha, pardon for my rashness. I have rephrased it.
Children who use Android 9 devices, have you found a way to enter the game?At present, it will automatically exit one second after entering the game.
wait its not just me?
Yes, my friends around me have encountered many cases of flash back after updating.After comparison, I found that what we have in common is that we all use Android 9 devices.
ya
Hello !
I got the "Device doesn't meet minimum requirements ...." message in this latest Beta. On latest Live version however, is not
Is this a bug, or Sky is going to upgrade the minimum requirements ?
perhaps you need more space in your storage device
I still got 3.4Gb/32Gb
It shouldn't be a problem imo
Some live players got this message, too.
something do with ram maybeļ¼
Well anyone remembers when the last invite wave opened ? I can't remember..
Hmmm. Maybe their device are not strong enough to provide full smooth Sky experience, like my previous Mi A2 Lite i use 4 months ago, immediately sold and change my phone again
But now I'm using Redmi Note 5, haven't met any "doesn't meet minimum spec ...." message for the last 4 month, until 0.15.5 recent Beta update
They said the same (with different device)
Samsung, Xiaomi and others delivered some very sloppy Vulkan renderer updates on some of their devices recently. Maybe not that's the cause, just an idea. Adreno 506 is not strong at all and Sky highly depends on GPU.
Assembly
You can always grab the invite ping role and check #beta-signup-info, but the last one was in July, toward the end of The Little Prince in beta
I entered that time ...
thanks! but somehow the snowflake cape spirit said i collected all of the items when i donāt have the antler horns⦠is it a bug?
yes its a bug, just report it
and 8 too
Good afternoon, everyone.
My program has not been updated, it has always done it automatically before. Is there a way to manually update? I use iOS.
Open Testflight and click update.
Or, if update button doesn't show, pull down on the menu of apps the way you do in AppStore to refresh.
It is recommended that you uninstall. Download it again.
Wow, that was so easy I feel so ashamed.
You don't need to uninstall iOS beta just because it doesn't automatically update.
How is everyone meeting belonging grandma? Is it triggered by a schedule? I couldn't figure it out
Yes, the same as geyser.
I've been thinking about one thing. Isn't Android not able to display white headphones? Let's turn on an audio switch in the settings. Turn on the audio switch. You can wear white headphones. Turn off the audio switch, will cancel the white headphones. Does this solve the problem that Android can't display white headphones?
This channel is about current beta features discussion 
š
!beatsbyelder
The headphones appear on your character when you play music or audio in another app while playing Sky (as long as you're not wearing another hair accessory). You can use them any time by putting on some tunes! š§ (iOS only, due to limitations in Android hardware)
Although Android has no way to break the hardware restrictions. But it can be set to open manually!
Haiii
Does anyone know what the current event split is called? (Christmas)
I loved it and I need to know it completely
According to my statistics, the Sky kids who sleep at least 8 hours a day are more likely to be... you won't believe it, less sleepy, amazing, right? 

Days of Feast (unless i completely misunderstood your question
)
I was referring to the name of the music score that offers the spirit of Days of Feast
I cant find the hair pin is this bug
Itās Ode to Joy by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Thank you

Now i wish for rachmaninoff music sheet.... YOU THOUGHT YOU ARE GOOD AT MUSIC??? WELL THINK AGAIN

On a serious note we don't have enough notes for rachmaninoff
Sorry hahaha
I did not know her at all, I do not listen to classical music
I-.......
Rachmaninoff is classical music and rachmaninoff is a he/him
the disres**PECT**..../hj
I was referring to the music note itself but hey ...
Ah okay, I was going to mention a certain youtuber who may have been able to do it but it appears we can't mention him by name anymore. Good.
Be careful Bea if skybot censors you one too many times they will have enough of you and will mute you
š I'm on my best behavior now, I'm a changed man
Hey, can i ask a question?
About Sky beta, yes
Ye. Is this a bug or season is actually ending today? It says 24 hrs before the season will end.
MOTD is usually not accurate in beta... watch and find out?
The season is coming to an end.Will new qualifications be issued later?
#beta-discussion message Things may change where they have to turn it back on, but for now, that's the official answer. Season will end at next reset in beta.
Hello Ktjn, I wonder if the end of the season will reset the qualification of the test.
That hasn't been the case in awhile. an invite wave will happen when they need more testers. It doesn't matter about any other factor.
Will sky give up its support for Android 9 devices?Or is the phenomenon of automatic exit only a bug?
nope. unless u donāt play for a long time, then they will remove u.
I don't understand what you said.
I borrowed a friend's qualification update download.š
Only Android is qualified for me.
Currently, around 14-25% (Depending on which stat website you check and their source for the data) of Android users run Android 9.0, I don't see TGC dropping support until the number drops more.
My iOS needs to borrow someone else's qualifications.
OK, thank you for your reply.It seems that many Android 9 users have encountered the problem that the game exits after opening for 1 second.Including me
Borrowing someone else's qualification isn't advised as I am sure sharing accounts breaks Apple's and Google's terms of service. Please don't discuss that here.
But some people use this qualification to make money, and those Taobao merchants will use scripts to grab the qualification.
As long as there are bug reports, they will look into the issue. This isn't the first time an update made a certain Android version crash in beta. Things like this take time. 
I feel unfair.
Ok, I submitted the bug report yesterday.
That would best be brought up to Apple or Google's security teams. Let's please drop the subject as that type of activity breaks a company's terms of service and is against Discord's TOS to discuss such matters.
I want to feed this back to the developer.
It is suggested to open anti-hacking script.
Maybe you can try beta-feedback channel
Can't open my beta day 3
I haven't successfully logged in for 8 days.Last version showed data corruption, and this version automatically quit.
I could log in but after the new update my beta keeps crashing whenever I open it
I don't have any problems with my game's data since I got it from Google play with invite links from here
It just kicks me out and won't let me in at all ;-;
Are you using Android 9, too?Many friends are like me, they all use Android 9.

I'm so happy
I can skip the next few weeks' Spooky Table in Days of Mischief and go for the Feast Table in Days of Feast instead
My best friend said that he sent a wave of qualifications last night.
is that trueš
are the servers down right now? 
The last invite wave was on 15 July.
Oh... I want to askOh... I want to ask Why is there a data error when my friend wants to play the test server
i have the same problem! i wonder what happened
He is a little nervous...has traveling ancestors and limited time activities...And he is not an illegal user
I need a little help

helo,, how much is the banner that festive spin dancer has?? (oooo ty :D)
nop i didnt find a way. ive tried redownloading app but it didnt help neither
Do anyone find the snowflake hairpin in the closet? I didnāt find it after I bought it from the shop. Is it a bug? Or just me ?
it's a bug, it'll appear in a future build
Ohh okkie thanks!
i wonder how to spawn grandma belonging at sunny forest?
Sheās a timed event like the geyser, comes every 2 hours (next batch in 1 hour & 20 minutes)
Okay thank you 
Future build I'm waiting for you
Have anyone know the price of events Halloween
its already been released in #news

Is it a bug that the snow door doesn't open at home?
i know
but it's uncomfortable here NOT TO ADD FHOTOS.
Someone already answered above u, don't worry
This is a discussion channel, not the images channel. It has its purpose
Oh so we're getting new props with every single ts?
Seems like it is
Can I get Android 9 on today?
grandma only serve wax for 5 mins huh
But I was surprised seeing ones in Live without them being in beta first.
I'm not sure, it seems Android 9 players are having issues atm
#beta-screenshots-videos exists for a reason 
Yes, I've been there for two days.
we haven't gotten any news about an update for a fix for that, so the situation would most likely not change
We ask everyone to please post only in English on this server, @lethal compass. Unfortunately, moderators and staff aren't able to support all the languages spoken by our global Sky family.
oh I see you're using translator
Yes, because I'm from China.
Oh, I really want to see the snow in the encounter, but it seems that there is no way for the time being.
The best thing to do now is to report the bug
Seems like it.
They also mentioned it on 0.14.5 Patch Notes on Travelling Spirits Update section.
We have already reported it, but there is no solution yet, so we can only wait for the notification from tgc.
Ye but I thought it's going to be these 4 tss and after some tss connected with other events
the event will surely come to live even if you miss it in beta, don't worry
What I've understood on 0.14.5 Patch Notes was,
Beginning from this patch, TS will now come with props on their Spirit Tree...
Not those exact wordings but that could easily mean TS starting from Chill Sunbather and onwards will now have props.
Haha, yes, I am looking forward to this activity.
We can't have 100s of props can we? I thought select TS may have but not all...
We can't have that many mostly because we don't have that many traveling spirits
I'm not privy to those information so I wouldn't know, sorry
Oh that opens a possibility for soooo many props

so many props, but only 16 prop limit for Shared space
True.. I mean in the long run... It would just clutter the items menu I guess unless props become of any use. But then not many are gonna buy props if they are of no use to them I guess.
Yeah with flight spirits total TS pool would be just below 60 I think .
ChimesSmith will bring chime prop!
Builder : Hammer
Someone else find difficult to switch between the emote, stance and spell menu after the update? Like i have to tap multiple times while in live is all fine so isnāt a problem of the screen but is weird like bug
is it just me or is the scarf and also hat's patterns look really jarring?
idk, just the colors clash and roar out weirdly
maybe it simply just doesnt fit my kind of vibe, but i just dont see myself wearing it, or even enjoying seeing that pattern on other people really
i know they're trying to keep the feast scheme, while also making it more like winter apparel, while also making it sky themes (the crystal shape ig?); im aware what theyre going for, but idk
They are definitely different to other colours we have in the game. I still like them, or maybe because they are different. Personally, I almost want to knit them in real life. š§¶ 
I'm not a fan of the colours too, the cosmetics this event don't really fit a sky vibe, more of a real life vibe, which isn't something I like to see in sky, but what can I do 
I think it is because the white in the cap/hat and scarf is off-white rather than SkyWhite Ā® we are used to... (already left a feedback on this)
got it, thanks guys
just wanted to hear other people's takes to know im not crazy lol
š¤Æ
Maybe wait for the updates before you start knitting, they might change appearance 
Hello i went to beta and found my season percentage drop from 100 to 85ā¦
one can only hope, my friend, one can only hope
Yes, new rainbow trail spells arrived available for purchase at seasonal spirits, check the season constellation
That's exactly what I thought, I want it whiter 
All fluffy wintery clothing item have been white so far.... This is the first one to sport the SkyWhite-but-not-so-white Ā® shade

im very happy about the big pillow and that its only 10 candles
Tgc went like 100 kilometers beyond my expectations with days of feast how its currently in beta

did the crab spell and krill repellent vanish too, after mischief was over round here?
cries because i can't enter beta

Please don't... my good friend...

It's not "forever"
They'll hopefully fix the log in issue in the next updates

I also lost my account too.. so I have been waiting too
Wait together! āØ
But days of feast will go miss , along with rythem last ansestor š
It's okay. There's still a chance to come back.
@charred fiber next year..
You'll be able to see it in live, at least, remember it's just for testing in beta, so everything is not sure here.
@haughty hare choughs I only am a tester..
I'm experiencing the same thing
Unfortunately beta is not a substitute of live, be sure to play Sky live to get the full experience 
Yes...
Still game data corrupt for me. Anyone else?
Keep in mind that beta is in testing, so everything in there is not safe... TGC might even do a full data wipe. It's your decision of course, but I'd strongly recommend to play the live version since in beta it's not uncommon to miss things due to bugs or changes, the way I understood.
Socialization is the most important thing.šš»
@jaunty bramble, you can try tapping near the top of the tabs, close to the top of your screen, to switch between them
Ye if u try around u switch eventually still is worse compared to live where it is much easier so donāt understand the change if is wanted š¤
For sure, it's not ideal, but at least you can switch tabs that way
I think it's a bug, doesn't feel like planned for me... And if it's planned, then it's best to let TGC know we have difficulties with it.
Yep I reported and hope wont come to live like that , my phone screen is already small and tapping on icons already difficult 
I can't imagine that that was intentional. It's very unintuitive
Did any one of you notice the days of feast elder in the ||forest||? Spoiler tagged in case someone wants to search for itself... But it is walking around in ||the table area at the sunny part||!
yes, belonging granma is back giving us dinner 
Ooh, that's mrs belonging? I've never seen her in the game! Thanks for explaining, I hope she'll stay a while back from retirement. Edit: Is she one of the wax sources mentioned in the patch notes? Or did she just get back from the belonging season and did the same back then, she gives put the dragon balls on the plates...
She's one of the wax sources, and she should be there permanently
That sounds great!
Oh it is permanent! 
Yep, here's what Ktjn said: #beta-discussion message
Thank you! I didn't get to backread the whole channel, too many messages... Seems like I missed it.
GRANDMA BELONGING IS BACK????
YES NOW EAT YOUR VEGETABLES
Where is Grandma at?!
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 
She is where she belongs. Lol.
Scroll up a bit
HECK YEAH GRANDMA IS BACK
Iām not seeing her for some reason. Iāll keep looking!
She bakes on a schedule, same as the geyser. She'll appear in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Oh!! Thank you so much for telling me!
I imagine you seaching forever, no problem 
Read #beta-faq and get yourself the ping roles.
I would have been. š
Did the igloo behind grandma at home open up for anyone?
Iād assume itās for a later phase of the event, weāll have to see
Woowowowowowowo thats why it is called "season of belonging"
When does the geyser event start again?
Guys I was busy this month, how many says of the season is left on beta???
This day
Says 14 hours I think
This is soooo tragicš

Idk y, every single time I tried to login the game it crushed as soon as I opened it. Does anybody else has the same issue

I'm really sorry if someone already answered this but I updated my Beta but it isn't opening up, it just crashes straight away, is this a bug of the new update or just my phone? 

Hey guys! When getting the new outfits from the shop, it bugged and I didnāt receive the snowflake hair accessory
Iām going to report soon but has anyone faced the same issue?
As far as I know, no one's gotten the snowflake accessory yet
@haughty perch read here 
My friend also experiencing this crash. Please report!
i think there was said, that for snowflake need to wait for next update. Some outfits are in Office, did you checked?
I hope TGC give us more information when update beta... I wanna know what bugs fixed but sometimes they just say "bug fix". I also wanna know how and what map polished
(I already gave feedback about this)
And i'm so happy that there's almost no more illegal beta tester
so does grandma come every other hour like geyser (so both will activate simultaneously)?
I understand
but many times even devs don't know when they will fix. This is the nature of bugfixing - unpredictable. If you feel very bad, play with live sky 
Do you guys think they should swap the scarf and winter cape? As IAP and candles?
Why yes and why no? Just curious
Ooh I see thank you! I need to read patches with more attention 
Iāll go check! But yeah I think itās just not available..
Tho it was in the ānormalā shop so, maybe a bug? I dunno
Anyone else testing the snowflake wax at home? I canāt collect unless Iām actively skating at the rink, I would like to hear other experiences
Same for me!
Well it makes sense, a little. You wouldnāt want to trip over AFK kids
I've noticed that some spots it will drift towards me? But that has been while playing music, I haven't tested other stationary collection methods
I tried idling at different spots, simply it will drift away & starts falling in a different spot
I feel itās because the wax snow is meant to be like snow, so if you catch when it flutters to you, then you didnāt need to be actively skating, otherwise, the only way to get pieces on the ground is via skating
Yes thatās what I think also, but wanted to make sure
I can say, it definitely acts like snow - not 100%, but close enough
Sorry for late reply but thank u!!

I'll probably be fine I love skating in this game
What does factory installed Google app mean, sorry 
Is it just me who cant update sky beta?
Did anyone notice how homespace time changes? It gradually goes from blue sky to darker š¤©
Basically when you have a new phone and the google app is already installed
Ah ok, everything checks out and nothing is wrong, so I don't understand why it's crashing 
When you open the beta it just crash?
Is it an android 9?
I still hope that devs can make a crash log when crash intercepted so experience android enthusiastic can find the Problem's and have a easy fix if any
is every device that system are Android 9 all crush ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
You can also force normal dawn/day/sunset/night times through the constellation, it looks softer
There is no official information on what causes the crash, no one knows for sure (well, maybe TGC does but we for sure don't). That the cause is the Android 9 operating system is pure speculation by some players in here, which may or may not be true.
updoot
Updoot
updoot
Yayy
Lessgo 
updoooot
it doesn't say much
No update on my end - iOS only?
ios gets them first, shorter progress time on smaller updates
Android has a delay, right?
iOS gets update before Android
I can by just idling but only 1 per minute...the range means the others that spawn don't float to you unless you skate by them
okayļ¼bcs my friend in a grp chat many of them are Android 9ļ¼then they cannot open the game and crash ļ¼but other people like there are using Android 10 and about all is not getting any problemļ¼and I'm just curiousš
updoot? nice 
It's alright to be curious, better to ask and verify information than believe in anything and spread false rumors by accident 
I'm sure there'll be one, there's one for each and every update.
Well sometimes they ping in #beta-announcements a few minutes or even hours later after updoot is available, so iād say wait it out while munching on some fried krills

update

there!
Aaaand speaking of ping guys
Speaking of update ping
Oh the npcās are talking now in office roof
help cant join in beta
Grandma superglued the seats and now she got scolded 
it crashed 
only in prairie cave? p sure somebody once said that ark also had an unintended cake
Maybe some of us were busy riding krills 
granma won't force us to sit down until we're done with dinner 
guys what time usually grandma out?
but without the sticky seats us skykids stand on the table. probably not very good manners 
every other hour, same time as the geyser
Guess grandpa came and said sheās too harsh on their grandkids or smt
Is there a known-issues post that didn't get sent? It was referred last update... Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ping you š¦
update comesļ¼hope I can get in the game after this update
for 15 minutes?
i think the event lasts 10 minutes?
let's get dinner in 15min!
Okay thanks 
the office spirit hints are so cute
Android can update already ā¤ļø
Can't wait to see if I can test again
Update is surprisingly big in mb
It would have just repeated what I mentioned in the update notes, so I've gone ahead and simply, uh, updated the update post ^^
Okay, thank you, Sagomay!
even the update got an update? fancy 
what
I can't get in the game šflash back crash...ready to report again š
Rip.
SAME
oh no...
Guess I'll wait in live ;-; or something
I start the game then the tgc logo still haven't show, only have the bgm then flash back... š
everytime i open the game it closes after 2 seconds
Uhh weird question but does anyone leave trails behind while flying? I have a rainbow trail spell active atm but i cant see that neither can i the regular white trail just some sparkles when i flap.
All is android 9 fault,I guess šthen should I ready to buy a new android phone for play this game
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Android 9 specifically, not sure how that assumption/rumor has spun up.
Okay thanks šā¤ļø
What is the main app store you download everything from? not just the sky app, but every app on your device.
Google play store
I installed mine from google play store ;-;
Google play
Device type?
Sometimes they call it selective vision, they think of one thing and only that remains in mind
Samsung Galaxy A40 i think
Huawei nova 3i
Uh, mind if I chime in? Also downloaded using Google Play, device type Galaxy A8 (2018). I hope this will help getting whatever broken fix 
So, while I was testing out ice slipperiness with the ball spell, I realized that when someone else places a beach ball it's a black void. Did that happen before? I don't remember.
nova 3i too here
Google only exists on Huawei devices manufactured prior to 2019 because of federal regulations in the US banning Google from doing business with Huawei. You can read more here: https://support.google.com/android/thread/29434011/answering-your-questions-on-huawei-devices-and-google-services?hl=en
So it is possible the version of Google play may not meet certain certifications
Updoot \[T]/
Do you get the "Verified by Play Protect" message when you download/update?
yes
yes
Never miss an opportunity to be meta 
Something very strange just happened. I entered Sunny Forest and my character just vanished.
Also, the wing menu changes icons when you're swimming.
I noticed the snowflake hair accessory is still not appearing in the closet, is it because it's still glitched for people who bought it already? Or did it not get fixed yet?
So much easier to switch tabs in the emote menu again
Yes ;-;
Not to make assumptions, but attempting to rule out possible contributing factors: Sky Beta is not available in China, so if anyone from that region is trying to access beta directly or using a VPN, this will also create issues. We are using the some newer tools Google provides to verify legitimate copies of the Sky Beta app.
Here's some Google Support articles on troubleshooting: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7165974?hl=en
https://support.google.com/android/answer/10248227?hl=en
Unfortunately it appears to be some sort of issue with devices not being recognized by Google's security checks that the copy of Beta has been tampered with in some way. This can include third party installations, rooted devices, out of date versions of certification keys or applications, data corruption during the download process, or caching issues after updating and so on.
Is there anything we can do on our side?
As far as I can tell, if it was something wrong with how this check is applied by TGC using Google's tools, it would block ALL android players from accessing Sky. since it's only impacting a very small number of players, I'm led to believe there have been alterations or a missing update on your device that is not passing Google's checks which is outside of TGC's ability to fix.
The only thing I can suggest is contacting Google support.
Google's been putting a lot of effort into improving the security vulnerabilities that come with APKs due to the open nature of the Android OS.
The best I can offer google troubleshooting steps for certification errors, cuz that's what I'm going in an effort to help rule out possible causes. The most drastic suggestion would be to do a factory reset of your device, but I don't recommend that for obvious reasons, and TGC cannot be held responsible for any data you may lose if you choose to go that route. Which is why I suggest doing some personal research and contact Google's support team.
I have a ton of work to get back to, but hopefully that gives a little bit of direction. If anyone manages to fix the issue, I'd love to hear what steps were taken so I can pass the info along to others, and let our engineering team know there's an issue. So far, they've assured me that things are working as expected, which is why I don't have a lot of options to suggest.
Thank you, ktjn!
Unrelated to this issue, but with the Belonging quest giver as the event guide, it might be fitting if there were some free or unlockable bonfire spells outside of the normal spell rotation
thank u ktjn, you're the best and thank u so much for tips ā¤ļø
thanks ktjn
it should be resolved for future testers who haven't "bought" the item already, but I may just need to send everyone the item via inbox to correct folks who obtained the bugged version.
then bedtime now, Iām going to rest š“ hope we can getting in the game soon
9t9 byee
Wait... I thought there weren't any compensations (sorry, vocab error) for bugs? But thanks!!
They don't normally go out of their way to give compensation for bugs in beta. They have given compensation sometimes in the past if it was necessary to fix another issue or something like that. And in this case it might help them with getting more data for the inbox gifting feature
ur right
we don't but if there's a bug preventing testing, we kinda need to resolve that.
Sorry if Iām budding into a convo here but can anyone tell me where the feast spirits are in the office? I canāt seem to find them anywhere
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 
Did you check office top?

Can I ask a question for the beta waves?
How can you become a beta tester ;-; sorry Iām new to the beta side of sky
š±iOS/Android: Learn about the sign-up process and how to get notified when invites happen in #beta-faq!
Switch: The Switch Beta testing period has ended with Live launch. All future content testing will be conducted on Mobile only.
you'll have to wait for another invite wave, which could be months from now š
if you get the beta invites role, you'll get pinged when there's a new invite wave though 
panicking I need the founders cape ahhhhhh itās 30$ I just need the candlesss
you don't need the founder's cape to get into beta
Even if you got it in beta, it wouldn't transfer to live, they are two separate apps and none of the progress gets transferred.
You can get the Founder's cape in Live.
I know I want into the office and I use friends for that but I feel like Iām bothering them with it and candles for mischief
during the events the office will be open for all
there's a friendly npc leading you in
What does that have to do with beta?
I just- I donāt even know
Please try to keep these channels to primarily beta discussion, and bring live discussion to other channels such as #general-sky-discussion or #cozy-sky-discussion or #seasons-events-chat 
If you have the money and can find a good use for the cape and candles, then just go buy the cape in Live. 
I can take you into the office. Please keep your requests in the appropriate channels, this is a channel for beta and you may see content that's still in works and be spoiled.
Ok imma go now cya
I'm having this issue. No trails from sky kid in any realm. Noticed only after the update today
rip ice rink at the office... i had so much fun skating there 
is there something wrong with the ice rink?
The one in office seems to have shrank or it has been snowing so heavily in office the snow covered half of the ice rink
part of ice is covered with snow, it was fun to skate there
I enjoyed the larger office rooftop rink in the first build better
I would actually agree
during the winter when it gets a bit warmer from the colder temperatures there's usually more snowfall, maybe they accidentally cranked the heat on 
Because this seems like a spoilerish question ima ask it here
Will the Days of Mischief cauldron that gives you wax be in Office or at Home?
Anyone?
It will be at Office only
Oof
Will it be like the bonfire was, where it gives you about 10 candles if you still have all 3 chevrons?
I personally didnāt test that, so Iām not sure
Afk timer applies. So if you are running around for may be 24 hrs.. Yeah may be it will. I didn't test how much it gives per hour or something. So don't know if it would give considerable amount or not
That aside, I was hoping it would get repurposed for the Ark itself (already left the suggestion in feedback)
Probably taken over by the shrugging spirit since that spirit seemed very interested in making potions
Iād go for the Enchantment guide instead because all he does is stand & stare š§āāļø
And occasionally the herbalist throwing in a mushroom or two into cauldron making it give more light for a brief time
mushrooms 
New update : Stand & Blink
I heard they're already gonna implement 3 bonfire style locations after days of feast: 1 on the mountain in Valley Village, one in the Prairie Cave and 1 at the crab BBQ in Graveyard
They're also bringing back the quest-giver from belonging who's gonna cook a meal (wax) for Skykids every couple of hours at the big table in Sunny Forest. It works a lot like the polluted geyser but it's way more cute
Clouds outside office are supposed to be less bumpy according to update note. Did anyone see any difference?
i didnt get pinged for the update message pls
Yes, I am currently testing that. Thatās why Iām hoping it would get repurposed for the Ark in similar fashion
OMG I LOVED THE NEW DIALOGUES 
The snowflake cape one goes like: "Oh, those trees would make some great goal posts!"
And the other goes: "GO TEAM KRILL!!!"
That made me laugh so hard 
I miss the old ice rink. I get putting snow around the sky lights because I did fall in there a few times, but I likes to skate around the showman. I think I'll put in some feedback later.
I didnāt even notice that change, oops
#beta-feedback please :D i want it back too!
I asked for the Canon to be temporarily moved, making ice rink larger. That way ice rink need not go all the way to the edge near skylights
I just noticed
The snowflake cape one goes: "GO TEAM CRAB!!" after that xD
One of them should go "Goooooooooal!" if someone hits the beach ball inside
xD
What if it does? Did someone test that?
That would be adorable 
I'm 100% sending that to #beta-feedback if not
It doesnāt
Well, #beta-feedback :>
I think i just mentioned this channel like 4 times in the past few minutes lol
It would be hard to implement I guess. Arbitrary target and n number of possible ways sky kids will get a ball through the post... They would have to implement part of Fifa 2021 code into to sky 
Well I personally donāt care, itās difficult to control the ball on ice
Season of Dreams 2.0 a village comes together to bring the dream of a small boy to life : become a footballer ā½
We get a small village with a football ground and mini games around that.
I think it's not that hard, they just have to make it so the code detects when the ball object goes in the middle of the two trees
And that activates the dialogue
Unless that somehow breaks & makes one of the spirits flutter away in the wind
It can be hard, i'm not a pro in coding, but with the (almost null) experience i had with coding and my abilities (i don't even know JavaScript, who am i trying to fool?) I assume that it's not that hard :'D
The spirits doesn't have to play, i mean, we could be the players, and they are just the crowd
Worth the feedback šš½
Guys which is better for buying snowflake āļøcape or ancestor cape š
xD
Thatās not what I meant
How many krill repellant spells can you buy from the crab in the Micheif area?
I don't remember :<
Is it only the one? or can you just keep buying them until you run out of ascended candles?
unrelated but the first time i saw grandma in home after reset i legit thought someone kidnapped her and took her home from dinner i was so confused š
Lol, that was probably just a glitch xD
Like all spells, it is limited
It depends, if I could, I would buy the Ancestor Cape because Belonging is a season that is dear to me
It was such a cozy & overall sweet season, itās a nice callback
I'm still kinda like "why's she just standing there shivering when she's carrying an entire bonfire set on her back?" 
someone give her a blanket or something smh
Wood isn't hot until you light it on fire xD
Yeah, but since a lot of players are complaining about the cape because it's almost completely reused from other capes, they might change it, so it's not a thing we can be sure now
Thatās sad
it'll make more sense in a couple days when the next phase of the event starts
i hope they don't change it, i love it ā¹ļø
we don't currently have plans to make changes to the cape
next phase

Itās meant to be an homage & its unique enough to stand out on its own
Oh, thank you!!!
the cape does look very cozy I like that
it's like taking your fuzziest blanket on the go
Yes those events at Home usually have phases š
Since the igloo/cave is closed I assumed so... The space around grandma changing as time goes by in the days of <winter? >. Just like the sand castle did in days of summer and then summer light
I think it's called days of feast
If only sky had brightness turned down... Otherwise it looks like you are carrying a light bulb š”
maybe grandma goes into the igloo and lights the fireplace in the next phase
that would be cute :0
And surely we will have hanging lights...
Thanks, itās lovely as it is!
Except, maybe⦠make the stars on it gold, like the trimming?
It would be easier to see the detail 
tgc has really been outdoing themselves with the recent events and SoF and stuff, im excited to see whats next 
Truly, I feel like a kid on Christmas Day discovering what they have in store for us 
I feel that the beta version consumes more battery power than the LIVE version.
What do you guys think?
i haven't really noticed a difference in battery ;0 i lag way less on beta tho, if that says anything
It was mentioned in #beta-announcements that there is a new shared space in the seasonal area. Are they talking about wind paths? If so,where is the shared space

Yes it is in WP, ||to the left upon entry||
do they though 
I⦠I am not sure what this may imply
I just want him to move around a little is all 
Do you think someone should go and watch if it does anything unusual?
I think there's a bug with the shared space meditation circle,after I meditated,no props appeared and the bgm changed. I assume that the game thinks that I'm a doing a quest or it's something else.
Going to report that
love the guides that are just kinda š§ but at the same time spirits moving and doing things is so wonderful

Is the vault elevator broken for anyone else 
Hey what happened with the snowflake hairpin??? I ""bought""" it yesterday but i didnt got anything but now the item is there but nothing in the store. 
restart your game and check the closet, it should be fixed as of a few minutes ago.
Hmmmm still nothing :c
I can see it in the closet now but it doesn't show as me owning it despite "buying" it yesterday
does anyone know how to get Beta back on another device? I had it on my iPad but it got sent to Apple and they gave me a new one, I linked my Google account to it but I canāt get the app again without an invite
I have the same issue
Same can see it now but in grey color
uff i lost the invite of july and now im losing the most beautiful items
if itās in grey yall thereās a bug that says you donāt have it
You need to be signed into the AppStore using the same Apple ID you used to download beta when you first got the invite, then the beta should be visible in TestFlight provided you haven't been inactive for a long time

Thank you so much!
welp, problem solved then 
Seeing the flight spirits ascend in the final cutscene made me sad
Did you click on the ā!ā To share your Space?
okay, i suspected that might happen when i fixed the bug with the IAP for the snowflake accessory. I sent the item out via Inbox.
much appreciated!
