beta-discussion

[sage haven]

In Live, if you do the daily quests without missing a single day you will have about 100 seasonal candles left over.

[coarse lark]

Ohh alright?, thanks then

[coarse lark]

Ohh my ohh my, thats interesting

[magic hollow]

Boat is gone :((

Cant travel to the seasonal area anymore, what about you all

[hollow compass]

Are you in beta? Or is it that you don't quite understand how beta works in relation to the live game?

[hollow compass]

We all read the patch updates...

[coarse lark]

For a mere second there, i thought your going to bash me with some criticism for my aloofness, and how i ask about the- ohh well im not in there, at beta sorry

[magic hollow]

I guess I didn’t read it enough??? Ok?

[sage haven]

Thank you so much for taking time to answer my question. I was very confused and you helped clarify things for me.

[kindred fossil]

It’s mentioned in the patch notes where the boat has been relocated several times, to Wasteland social hub

[hollow compass]

No, that was not my intention at all. Beta can be confusing if you've never tried it.

[hollow compass]

I'm sorry, it's in the Wasteland social area to the right.

[magic hollow]

For me I saw today but sorry I got confused

[coarse lark]

Aww, im very sorry x3 then for thinking our interaction that way, anywho i'll be going now, i hope everyone and you the best

[sage haven]

It's nice to see people asking questions in this channel, even those who are curious how beta works.

[magic hollow]

Where is social space

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[sage haven]

The social space is the area when you first enter wastelands from the gate.

[grim crypt]

@hollow compass you Russian?

[hollow compass]

Why do you ask?

[spark lance]

People have this thing called curiosity

[hollow compass]

Same.

[spark lance]

INTO THATSKYBOT'S STOMACH FELLAS

[toxic spruce]

It’s about hacking and stuff so I don’t think I should send it out in screenshots, I guess I will combine the pics into one and send it in feedback

[hollow compass]

If you see things like that on for example FB or IG, you can DM Zahlya directly with links etc. Otherwise, the best thing is to report in the game, if you can or just ignore.

[prisma sable]

Questions, what spirits in beta has been coming to ts this year? Just curious

[cobalt jacinth]

Same as live but we had some past ts return recently (crab call, sunbather) and sometimes it's replaced with other things to test. Prior ts props we had a thrillseeker spirit with props only (no cosmetics or wing buff iirc) instead of ts for example

[grim crypt]

@hollow compass Just reply

[cobalt jacinth]

I don't think it's kind to demand personal information and I think it's also against #rules

[grim crypt]

Just reply*

[fast skiff]

Excuse me however you can't constrain individuals to reply to uncover personal information, that is agains #rules as Tib said

[grim crypt]

Well in 1 I do not force and in 2 I just try to find friends from my country, and this is very difficult.

[cobalt jacinth]

Even if it's not personal information, everyone has the right to not reply and spam pinging the other is also against #rules . Please take your time and read them.

[faint comet]

You can also look for Russian folks on either #looking-for-group-live or #beta-looking-for-group

[grim crypt]

Tysm, It's just my 1 day in the discord

[sullen pike]

Umm did they revert the constellation update I have the old one back again

Like the one we have in the live version

[desert token]

yes, probably to find a quick fix for the crashes using the newer installation would cause

[sullen pike]

Ahh okay

[cobalt jacinth]

I like the old version now, way easier to navigate than the unfinished new one. I like the friendly star patterns and easier to see who is lit and uncollected gift of light

[spark lance]

It is indeed nice to have it back in some regards. Both still make me feel ill, however.

[pale junco]

All i need is a search function and the old one 🤌

[desert token]

if they can get the ”online friends” section working properly I will probably prefer any iteration of the new constellation over the old one

[stray elk]

and a send light to all friends button

[pale junco]

They already said that'll never happen

[stray elk]

one day... when pigs can fly

[raw wasp]

I hope we get an updoot today

I must know what the mural by the entrance to the former aquarium should be

[vital crystal]

Uhm was the constellation being reverted tied to the build updoot or nah? I couldn't remember when i updated my beta and whatnot

[final garden]

I just wanted a refresh button with the old constellation, though I do like the online friends section

[vital crystal]

Ty :D

[raw wasp]

(The one thats a duplicate of the one higher up in the ocean)

[pale junco]

Maybe it is supposed to be the same mural
Wouldn't it be cool if we had markings on the murals show where exactly they are

[raw wasp]

Oh actually yeah….

[pale junco]

No updoot today, it's still sunday for tgc

[raw wasp]

Idk two seems a bit redundant but not impossible, and it would make sense if they did that

[winged hazel]

what yall think about the ultimate mask ? i mean cmon 5 more second to breath ? that really lame

[oblique fractal]

I really don't like it either. It's so..floppy I'm sad they removed the cracked mask

[spark lance]

actually me too, feeling the old constellation is more comfortable, not only cause old. and i like the ult mask

[pale junco]

Plot twist: tgc is testing our feelings about the old constellation

[gilded talon]

I didn’t know how much I love the old constellation until I tested the new one

[molten panther]

Plus ugly and gross how it moves 🤢
Makes me think I have certain anatomy parts on my face...

[terse quail]

Its way more user friendly, its easier to see who sent you light and who you sent light to, seeing online friends etc. Old constellation is 100% better.

[wise patio]

i have an idea for the upcoming season , is this the best place to mention it?

[raw wasp]

Maybe #beta-season-test-chat

[ornate tundra]

Do seasonal candles turn into regular candles in beta too?

[kindred fossil]

Yes, though whatever 100K+ we have might not convert as they’ll eventually be wiped

[ornate tundra]

Aw man lol hopefully the devs allow it

[spark lance]

Never gonna happen.

[hollow compass]

There's no practical reason to keep all those candles.

[iron elbow]

the floppiness of the ult mask is uncanny, for sure, but it makes me feel like a sea monster, which i adore

[kindred fossil]

They’ll not allow it, we’ve been through several currency wipes that were earned through exploits

[rain latch]

#beta-feedback would probably be the best place to give ideas

[rain latch]

It would be nice to not have to grind for candles in beta to test things

[hollow compass]

Part of testing is playing the game the same way you would in Live version. How else would you know something isn’t working as it should?

[elder musk]

Any recent weird Eden experience in beta lately? I’ve run out of AC so I’m contemplating about a visit. 😂

[deep hare]

The spirits of this season will be those travelers that no one will want to come in the future. The worst cosmetics of all seasons. No items are worth buying the pass.

[stray elk]

#beta-feedback also I kinda agree some cosmetics don't look that great but it's alright

[deep hare]

Starting with the little prince's repeated and recycled cape

[mental ridge]

I’m pretty sure it’s a matter of taste, like everything. I quite like the Abyss cosmetics, to be honest! But yes, regardless of your opinion #beta-feedback is the place to go

[deep hare]

I don't understand why you marked the feedback channel. I'm discussing the beta.

[spark lance]

Those are very self-assured statements. Fortunately we all have different tastes and preference is subjective.

[mental ridge]

Because you liking or disliking something is a form of feedback. If you want your opinions to be read by the devs, that’s the place to go ^^

I’ve never said you couldn’t discuss it here, by the way

[gilded basin]

if you don't like something in the beta then tell the devs directly in #beta-feedback, that's the best place to put something if you wanna see it get changed

[stiff tusk]

To say that would mean the model is the same - which it verry clearly isnt. The closest cape to the one from this season is that of dreams - which even then is a different model. I can see why they put this cape in too, many people gunite liked the broader, longer cape that was introduced in dreams, but didnt necessarily like the bright yellow. And then again many likes the LP jacket, however couldnt afford it. The darker colour scheme of this jacket provides a long cape that is not as vibrant as the dreams cape, so many may find it more fitting with their style. To say none of the cosmetics are worth buying and to put that in feedback is kind of not really feedback worthy, as weather or not you like the cosmetics is purely based on opinion and your own likes.
I do like these cosmetics quite a bit, but I understand others might not. And that is fair, I'm not going to argue with your opinion because I understand. Personally I didnt like any of the assembly cosmetics besides the torch because of its functionality and the daydreaming forester hair, though it doesnt suite my style.

Actually scratch the not feedback worthy thing, it is feedback worthy, but do note just because you dislike it, doesnt mean everyone else does, as its purely an opinion

[oblique fractal]

Any opinions on cosmetics (whether good or bad) are valid but they're never a fact. Please remind yourself that whatever you think is not always what others think

[deep hare]

Everyone can see that they have repeated the little prince's paid cape. 😖

[stiff tusk]

They really havent-
Please look over the models again

In case you didnt read my text, if they copied any cape it if the dreams coat

[deep hare]

At least the new expansion and puzzles are awesome.

[stiff tusk]

That is very true

[oblique fractal]

[lilac solstice]

The capes are very different. The only similarities they have are the fact they have floppy sleeves, and are long. The shape is different, and the color is different

[mental ridge]

I dare to add that the way they both feel in flight is different as well

[timid bough]

honestly saying that something isn't worth it and nobody will buy it... i think the company itself knows its finances better
also... things are never unique in itself especially when its the same concept over and over, that does not mean they aren't creative or worth having

[stiff tusk]

To expand:
I could say that the spinning mentor's cape and the greedy star collectors cape are exactly the same
I could say the past days of feast cape and the new one are the same
I could say the white belonging cape and the new feast cape are the same
But again, they are all different and just because they share similar qualities, does not mean they are a knock-off of a previous cape

[oblique fractal]

Right, some might want a different kind of cape color or just some adjustments. It probably fits some people's style whether "copy" or not (like the days of love flower crown). The days of love crown doesn't have the hair like daydream forester but I prefer it more than the actual original hair from daydream forester

[lilac solstice]

I mean, the Santa cape is almost a recolor of jugglers cape, except the fluff is a bit different. That doesn't make it any less unique. It's still much different to pair with other cosmetics than jugglers cape.

[timid bough]

personal taste aside a lot of expectations for this season's cosmetics are fueled by false expectations of grand aquatic designs, but tgc went the narrative route for the cosmetics

[stiff tusk]

It doesnt help that non-beta players are making "previews" and leaks off what they want for the season, it's just creating unrealistic expectations

[lilac solstice]

With the spirits, it makes sense. They are scavengers, so they wouldn't wear bright fish-like, aquatic clothing. It'd be dark so they blend in when raiding for goodies. The cosmetics still aren't my personal favorite, but I understand where they are coming from with the design choices.

[stiff tusk]

As Luci said, the cosmetics and their looks match the season. Imagine if we had brightly coloured, pristine-esk cosmetics rather than torn and tatty ones

[oblique fractal]

I'm happy they made a bit more darker themed cosmetics. Other seasons mostly give vibrant cosmetics like gratitude to assembly along with flight. Tlp and abyss give off more darker vibes

[lilac solstice]

It can also be harder to pair lighter clothing. I find it quite difficult to pair anything with flight pants because of how bright colored they are. So more dark clothing makes it easy to make more outfits.

[raw wasp]

Not too important but i really enjoy wearing the ult pants w the butterfly cape from sanctuary. They complement each other quite well

Although i think you have a point that more dark clothing is good bc it def is

Variety is important

[lilac solstice]

I'll have to try that out. I've been struggling to pair basically anything with the flight pants. But I also main cargo 24/7

[raw wasp]

Ahhh alright

I think im becoming a flight ult pants main now tbh

[lilac solstice]

They are cute pants though. I just need to find more pairings, and I'd most likely wear it often

[raw wasp]

Fair enough

Vibrant capes work best imo (i really like using director cape with it as well)

[zealous pike]

does anyone know the reasoning behind why the changed the ship in abyss to a smol boat?

[gilded basin]

my first guess is that it's a memory thing, the ship might have fewer faces to make it load easier or something
maybe they just like the boat smaller though

[zealous pike]

icic i hope they find a way to make the big ship work though, no h8 to smol boat but i do be missing the fancy ship

[stiff tusk]

Moo's point is pretty accurate, but someone also said once they think it might be due to this new ship matching the theme and look of other ships in game?
But then we all pointed our shipwrecks ship

[lyric kite]

The shipwreck ship does have a more industrial feel to it though, maybe they wanted it to be more similar to the other ships that are like, hmm, more homemade or something? That's not exactly the right word but Idk how else to phrase it

[raw wasp]

Thanks to the person with the teal cape who lended a hand in helping burn the big sanctuary dark plant

[stiff tusk]

Ooo good thought

[timid bough]

shipwreck ship is a normal sailing ship, no paddles no diamonds or anything to help lift it up and fly
the scavengers ship is the usual flying boat type design with paddles and all

[azure kernel]

Sky Live is gonna SCREAM when Abyss comes out

[raw wasp]

It does strike me as better to have a boat that can fly than one that can exclusively sail

[stiff tusk]

True, makes me wonder if we are collecting resources to get it running again
It would be new and odd and kinda cool if the ship starts moving around after the final quest/disappears completly

[raw wasp]

Although they probably wouldn’t be able to get their hands on something like that so easily

[stiff tusk]

Maybe that's why we're collecting resources from the wreckage around

[azure kernel]

and they might surpass sanctuary hype
@stiff tusk or, their ship is working and they're just stealing

[timid bough]

personally i think flying boats are easily obtained... it seems to be usual transportation for the spirits (like a car for us), it appears in spirit memories all the time

[raw wasp]

Makes sense then

[stiff tusk]

Good point tru

[azure kernel]

straight up imagined a sky kid ramming a krill over with the boat

[lyric kite]

I don't think it's the boats themselves that are the issue, but the power diamonds that make them fly (which are the items that we have been collecting). But yeah I'm not sure if they need them for the ship or just getting them to try to resell or trade with other spirits or something

[raw wasp]

Maybe the spirits are gathering resources for a bigger boat to run over the leviathan with then

[stiff tusk]

*gets spotted by a krill *
TASTE MY STONE U UGLY OVERSIZED SHRIMP!!

[azure kernel]

boat ends up exploding

[timid bough]

shipwreck is a sailing cargo ship probably going from point a to b all the time so it does not need to fly, plus saving production costs by not needing diamonds

[raw wasp]

However, the Leviathan sued them for every penny they had in retaliation, and they died 🌞

[azure kernel]

I've noticed that the boats usually have alot of power diamonds in each side.

[timid bough]

actually shipwreck is a sailing ship, but still employs flying boats on it as per the salute spirit's memory

[stiff tusk]

Now I'm curious l, does the boat have spots for power diamonds
I'm off to investigate

[azure kernel]

They actually do, observe the Forgotten Ark, the boat we use to travel in Abyss

[timid bough]

usually its 2 diamonds on its front, 1 diamond on each paddle makes 6

[azure kernel]

wait... I've just noticed.

THE BOATS HAVE ISLE'S HEADDRESS

[stiff tusk]

I mean I'm gonna see if the crystal bay ship has empty spots for diamonds, to see of that might be where our collected resources are goong

[azure kernel]

ooo

Hm, if the Abyss team are gathering diamonds from ruins. It could mean that everything in the Ruins are still operational which proves that the diamonds can last for a long while

[timid bough]

they are good batteries made of some pretty sketchy stuff

[stiff tusk]

Bot sure how I feel about the rename to Tresure Reaf

[lyric kite]

Yeah, well I think that's the point of the cutscenes from the quests right? The power diamonds are what were operating the cages and stuff, especially in the 3rd and 4th quests. When you remove them the barriers come down, and in the case of the 4th quest we unleash the big danger boi

[stiff tusk]

Spots for diamond, but said spots have unlit diamonds in them

[raw wasp]

Hmm

The paddles are attached to the bottom… i think it might just be inactive

The ark boat’s paddles are fully functioning but bc the boat is crashed and broke apart they can’t do anything

So i think its just in an “off” state or needs recharging (new diamonds)

[timid bough]

the boats we take to ark and treasure reef have their diamonds activate and glow after we meditate

[azure kernel]

I absolutely love how the sky kids just destroy the cracked mask spirit's confidence

[timid bough]

personally i think the larger the diamond is the longer it doesn't need to be reactivated to keep functioning

[azure kernel]

Like Eden's

[gilded parrot]

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

[stiff tusk]

As stated a thousand times, and in a patch note about 2 weeks ago, it was moved to gw social space. Please make sure to keep up-to-date and fully read all beta updates in the #beta-announcements chanel

[raw wasp]

In the 5th quest they throw you off the boat 🌞

[spark lance]

like an actual pirate

[oblique fractal]

Walk the plank!

[raw wasp]

Yes

They make everyone else walk the plank and ditch them with the Leviathan

[stiff tusk]

That would be fun omg

[spark lance]

Here we go...

[raw wasp]

You have to save the other spirits and then chase after them

Once you catch them you devour them kirby style and the credits happily roll

[stiff tusk]

WHEEZE YES
S I g h
Man I got like 3 bug reports to do

[raw wasp]

O o f

[glass rampart]

嗨

[stiff tusk]

Please only speak in english in the server, it makes it hard for mods if discussion is happening in multiple/other languages

[glass rampart]

okay

[stiff tusk]

Thank you

[warm wyvern]

This may be a stupid question and I apologize if someone has recently asked this but has the location of the boat to take us the to new seasonal area moved?

[fast skiff]

that’s a popular question It was moved to Wastenland Social Space [the first area to the right]

[warm wyvern]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the help!

[raw wasp]

I drew my interpretation of this in #beta-screenshots-videos 🌚

[stiff tusk]

*afraid *

[raw wasp]

Be afraid

[narrow mason]

Would like to start a petition to change the boat back to it's former glory

[raw wasp]

You should start it in #beta-feedback if you haven’t already

[copper shore]

ironically i love that navy cape over little prince pfft

[empty rock]

am i the only one that thinks the directions for the season is a bit unclear? i feel i dont know where to go after gaining the diving ability. i will post to #beta-feedback but i just want to hear what you guys have to say

[still reef]

May i ask where is the boat to Crystal Bay now ?

[gilded parrot]

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

[timid bough]

right side of wasteland social space

[gilded basin]

petition for skybot to have an automessage for whenever someone asks about the boat to crystal bay

[oblique fractal]

^this is what we need. The same question being repeated over and over again can be annoying bc the boat update was a while ago

And also have an automated message for when someone asks how to get into beta

[stiff tusk]

Eh
I think the story is clear: we know these spirits are gathering resources, we just dont know why just yet. But the ship stood out enough I wanted to check it out when I first surfaced. That's just me though

[languid gale]

The entrance to the Seasonal Area has been added as an update note already in #beta-announcements which is, as beta testers something that you should frequently visit and read from time to time because it contains a list of what we should be testing. If it's difficult to find, as Skybot said above, #beta-feedback is the key.. There's already an automated message from Skybot /how to join beta/ as well, see below

[gilded parrot]

📱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.

[manic panther]

anxious angler: OH GOD A TINY KRILL panik
skykids: touches krill for fun haha red light go brr

[lost shuttle]

Next build when cause I want to see my Sky friends

[latent oar]

You already can

[manic panther]

i want an idle wax area in sanctuary thats accesed by diving through a tunnel

[tender knoll]

Where’s the new area?? I can’t find the boat 😭

[gilded parrot]

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

[sullen pike]

It's on the right side

Of the social gathering area in gw

[tender knoll]

Thank you!!

[spark lance]

@gilded parrot ate it

[sullen pike]

😂😂😂

Did anyone get the 4th quest done

[spark lance]

Yes. It's much more gentle now as well

[woeful geyser]

I am not sure about the storyline yet other than we are gathering resources but for what exactly, are we building the boat, or is supposed to be a treasure hunt.

[spark lance]

Yee it’s amazing

[dense zodiac]

Barrier is pain

[cyan kernel]

If there is nothing in the store, then there is no way to get this gift pack, right?

[hollow compass]

What gift pack are you looking for?

[cyan kernel]

New Year's

I haven’t had anything in the store since I first updated it

[young magnet]

The test for Days of Fortune just ended few days ago, so there's no more Days of Fortune IAPs in everyone's shop

[cyan kernel]

I haven't had it since the start of the test

[drowsy fiber]

The shop is bugged these days, so it's possible it didn't show the packs for you. Also, due to another bug the items might have appeared in your wardrobe already. Finally, I think some things are only available in the office.

[merry prism]

I have a weird guessing
Season of flight is air
Season of abyss is water
Then... Next two season maybe related to earth and fire??

[wheat oar]

[jolly bear]

Exactly what i am thinking too

It is actually an Open World Trial of Properchy lol

[sand rune]

We already have the power of earth
Go grab a chibi mask and sneak stance and go up against a slope

[desert token]

imagine an earth season brings an area like the minecraft caves update did hanging stalagmites and a large open cave system for you to play thread-the-needle flying through

[wild horizon]

New theory: Sky kids are the last airbenders

[sand rune]

Cave exploration season, nice idea

[desert token]

would also fit with the lore of mining for power diamonds

[sand rune]

Say with diving mechanic the devs can do a lot with caves

[merry prism]

Wb fire thoo

[desert token]

:0 yess imagine having small pools of water in the lush areas you can dive down into and reach new areas

[sand rune]

Side question how u get the weasel role

[merry prism]

Dm skybot I wish to be <role name>

[sand rune]

Yeehaw

[merry prism]

Welcome to the weasel team

[sand rune]

Still fire.
Hm, seeing the fire trial is dark and all, maybe it'd be a corner of land where light cannot reach?

[lilac bobcat]

I know that it’ll probably be a while before we get another sky album. But I’m hoping that the next album includes the music from Season of Abyss and finally AROURA’s version of the end credits

[sand rune]

And our mission is to help reconstruct light towers or smth from the last expedition team that went there?

[merry prism]

Hmm

[wild horizon]

Okay, but let’s remember what Tim said in the Developer Q&A they are probably working on a collab maybe after Abyss

[sand rune]

Oh? Did they specify with what?

[wild horizon]

Nope, Tim avoided saying it

[sand rune]

Hm.

[wild horizon]

Imagine a Nintendo collab xd wheeze sky kids with Mario stuff or more Zelda stuff would be quite interesting to me xd

[iron elbow]

imagine ghibli collab tho

[merry prism]

That would be fun but tiny chance

[wild horizon]

Yoo that would be pretty dope

[sand rune]

True but which universe

[iron elbow]

all of them

[bitter cape]

Having a castle like Howl's to explore would be fine and dandy

[wild horizon]

Howl’s Moving Castle

[iron elbow]

ponyo is the best pick imo

[bitter cape]

Or the spirited away world

[wild horizon]

I feel like with the Little Prince cape Howl’s Moving castle would be something to look forward to

[sand rune]

Pig man in a plane, oh no the monster eggs are hatching and they'll destroy the world, fish puppet, spirited away
....... Creepy smiling mask thing

What else hm

[merry prism]

Sky players r just so imaginative XD

[sand rune]

I do remember I have a CD with a few ghibli movies now where is it

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[iron elbow]

that one about cats was cool

[merry prism]

Oh noe, skybot ate ur cds

[wild horizon]

I would agree and I thought of it first too, but since the movie mostly takes place in the bath house idk where that would fit in the Sky world but I guess that goes with all other ones

[sand rune]

Oh right there was one with cats possibly

Damn. The last time I watched the movies was over a decaelde ago

[wild horizon]

Maybe Kiki’s delivery service xd lol that one hair some already have

[iron elbow]

we can assemble kiki ourselves at this point

[wild horizon]

Use torch as your broom or wait for Halloween

[bitter cape]

This is off tangent, but out of curiosity, why is there a high number of chinese players in beta? (At least from my experience of 100% chance bumping into a random skykid and they speak chinese). Or maybe it's just me?

[iron elbow]

witch jumper + confetti hair is the ghibli collab

[sand rune]

Also I think I've noticed something
You know now wasteland has two boats yeah?
The one to enchantment starts on water, ends up on clouds
And the one to abyss starts over clouds, but ends up on water

What is up with that

[iron elbow]

same, thought everyone's getting there from discord

[gilded parrot]

@sand rune please don't discuss or encourage the use of APKs. Downloading illegitimate copies of the game is against the Terms of Service and could contain malware. Trying to use APKs will result in download problems and may result in account data loss and inability to contact TGC support. APKs cannot be used to bypass the device incompatibility.

[sand rune]

Well, you get what I'm trying to point at
about the Chinese players I mean

[iron elbow]

boi, sky kingdom's captains need more training

[sand rune]

If could also be when you're online, but I dunno

I've personally not really sat and conversed with many players in beta

[bitter cape]

Hm interesting. I always thought usage is restricted. It's kinda frustrating to make friends or read message boats since I cant understand anything. Altho the new translation button gives me hope

[frail ruin]

A ton of players friended me during the unlimited candle bug a few months back, they were collecting hearts and unlocking chat, out of about 80 of my friends i only have 1 friend that speaks English

[sand rune]

That's... odd.

[iron elbow]

tbh, the concept of an offical sky version that gives you stuff for free would be too tempting not to try for some people

[frail ruin]

I mostly play at night PST, so theres more chinese players active

[sand rune]

Well, the time the invites were sent out were more favourable to Asia timezones possibly

Theres a separate Chinese server for public yeah? Is it the same for beta, cuz I don't think so

[bitter cape]

Mm hmm yeah that makes sense!

[sand rune]

Don't get me wrong there's still Taiwan and Hong Kong (possibly Macau idk) , but outside that those are the only other places with Chinese as the main language that's not China

[frail ruin]

Aight, im gonna go pay my respects for the placeholder Turtle that was removed

[hollow compass]

There is no beta testing for the Netease version of Sky.

[iron elbow]

turtle is forever stuck in beta realm

[hoary goblet]

I believe there are some people that get into beta without even knowing it's beta and that live version exists, a lot of them are from mainland China and/or speak Chinese. I'm not 100% sure about this since it's been months since I saw someone mention this. But you can legitimately get into beta without an invite. Some also aren't aware that getting beta/live through 3rd party is against tos

[sand rune]

It would help, a little bit, if you knew whether they're using simplified or traditional chinese

[hollow compass]

Let’s not hunt people down. If you find that someone is doing something they shouldn’t and acquiring unreleased content, by all means report them. But if they just downloaded beta without realising it, that’s not a crime.

[sand rune]

True

[iron elbow]

not judging accidental testers here, but how many of them are there really? beta testing is always cramped, and even if a couple of slots open for android once in a while, they are gone in seconds. i don't think there could possibly be so many oblivious players to really make it a trend, i guess

[merry prism]

Im android and Im accidental tester, is it bad to download it without gettin invited D: I saw it open just I just clicked download, I can delete if needed tbh

[hollow compass]

As long as the beta programme isn’t vetted or closed in some way, there will always be players who don’t actively test. TGC still gets info just from how people play the game anyway.

[iron elbow]

my main point is that it's not that common for a player to just mistake beta for live accidentally

[merry prism]

Not related but I just only realise ur pfp is full of eyes

[cobalt jacinth]

I'm sure the inactive testers are calculated in the invite window btw. Imagine reading 10000feedbacks after an update.

[iron elbow]

what did u think they were before that 👁️

[merry prism]

Idk, maybe smt like the hair around a lion? XD

[iron elbow]

good, my camouflage is working!

[sand rune]

Ah, good to know the water at the space map has a shallow invisible wall

How many ppl here has returned to earth from the space station map

It takes like more than 5 minutes of flying straight down and there's nothing but water and a wierd patch of clouds outside boundaries but I just wonder if the distance is in accordance to real life

[raw wasp]

I was thinking the same thing abt whether its to scale

It might be. The clouds are office i think. Also u can see the ISS in the sky from Office

[rich jetty]

Is the boat missing for anyone, for the new season?

[frail ruin]

Its at the Golden wastelands Start, take a right by the bonfire and pass the social space, it should be there

[rich jetty]

oh thanks

[sand rune]

You CAN?????

[raw wasp]

Its tiny but i think yes!

[sand rune]

Well only one way to find out!

[kindred fossil]

Doot

[jagged thorn]

Up doot

[kindred fossil]

This update includes changes for:

• Season changes, updates, and polish

[faint rose]

[barren sonnet]

[iron elbow]

oh man i changed pfp at the wrong time oh boi brb

[grand spear]

oh!!! backpack update!!!!

[glass spoke]

no more water in valley?? i need to see this

[iron elbow]

i'm back

[spark lance]

no more water……….

[plush osprey]

Lmao i kept asking why we can breathe at the ice rink, now they remove the water

[cedar turret]

Was I just told to touch some grass 🧍‍♂️

The audacity

[glass spoke]

apparently ....

[plush osprey]

We need to touch grass sometimes 😂✋🏻

[oblique fractal]

Did tgc rlly do that i-

[stuck urchin]

Did they get rid of water in valley?? Nooo wth

[frosty trout]

😌

[wind locust]

Exited!

[finite inlet]

lol it said "touch some sky grass" but why am i laughing-

[spark lance]

Ayyyy backpack finally updated 🛐

[grand spear]

i need pictures i'm still too lazy to update TT (oh right i'm on android lmao it's late anyway)

[sonic pivot]

What’s going on?

[bitter cape]

No more water in valley ice rink????

[pale junco]

[frosty trout]

I mean technically there's still plenty of water in that area. Only all of it's frozen now 🥁

[sonic pivot]

Hahaha u spelled update 😂

[spark lance]

no music underwater ?- i noooo

[restive stratus]

backpack upgrade????

[nova bay]

More eyes 😱

[plush osprey]

Yeah i wish we can play music underwater, it would be so cool

[iron elbow]

i guess devs like my eye-thing 👁️

[nova bay]

Will we be able to replay 4th quest again to see the updates?

[grand spear]

oh what, i love playing music there :<

[pale junco]

Google wake up!!

[gleaming bronze]

I’ve never seen so many people excited about the backpack update.
Bunch of Dora the Explorers…

[peak mason]

1. I don't like the name The Creature
2. YES THE ICE RINK PROBLEM IS SOLVED

[frail ruin]

I already completed the quest, i wont be able to see the updated version

[finite inlet]

hm why did they remove the water?

[peak mason]

I don't think there ever was water

[nova bay]

Couldnt we replay it like before then? Same backend magic?

[plush osprey]

I wished we could actually replay the quest you know, not just the cutscene 😔

[slim kayak]

the water was always a lie

[finite inlet]

what-

[dense fiber]

the water was just a figment of our imagination

[olive gorge]

but why does rain water still hurt us?

[finite inlet]

what was the problem for icerink?

[frail ruin]

Ima gonna go touch some grass

[cobalt jacinth]

Woooow, assemblyless backpacks!
Can't wait to see Rudolph

[slim kayak]

techincally it wasn't actually water, just a mesh. that's why we sunk in valley ice rink. from the sound of the change, it makes way more sense with the new swimming mechanics

[spark lance]

I like the water under the rink 🥲

it now looks so empty except the sea creatures still live there

[dense fiber]

is this the H2O? is this just fantasea

[iron elbow]

elders were so thirsty 😔

[cobalt jacinth]

Is this a fizzy drink ad? : )

[pale junco]

Us: we don't want the assembly backpack for every prop
Tgc: removes assembly logo It's not a assembly backpack anymore 😌

[grand spear]

oh there's another mask in the qg tree was it there before or am i dreaming haha

[spark lance]

300iq

[plush osprey]

This is why you need to be specific when making a wish 😭

[pale junco]

New, i think it's for the people that don't have enough hearts?

[spark lance]

Makes sense

[cursive prism]

The water in the ice rink: "I was actually never there, I was only an illusion"

[sonic pivot]

Does anyone know where can we find the big king krill once it’s been released?

[gilded parrot]

I ate it

[dense fiber]

no it is a reminder to STAY HYDRATED OR the ice rink won't be the only thing that's empty

keep your bloodcells healthy and poofy

[pale junco]

Nowhere 😩 🥲

[grand spear]

bot i thought you only ate peas?!

[sonic pivot]

Aww

[raw wasp]

Maybe theyll try to introduce special backpack shapes over time… i hope 🧍

[sonic pivot]

That was the only thing I liked

[spark lance]

We don't have water anymore, how should we stay hydrated

[sterile osprey]

Im sad... I feel like without the Assembly logo on the backpacks the back is a bit boring...

[desert token]

I'd be fine with backpacks that just have the correct season logo, or nothing too. making each prop into a fully designed back item that looks fine no matter where u are would call for too much time and effort to be a realistic wish I think

[pale junco]

Keep hoping... that backpack is going nowhere

[plush osprey]

My update is done, see yall later

[iron elbow]

assembly no longer sells merch to other spirits

[grand spear]

have fun with the grass

[raw wasp]

Imm throwing that backpack off a cliff then 🌞🌞🌞

[spark lance]

Now other spirit knows how to craft backpacks no more assembly backpack monopoly

[sterile osprey]

Assembly gonna go out of business then...

[faint rose]

Imo I think the oxygen mask should stay a final quest completion IGC reward like the sword pants were. Since it's an item with a functionality everyone should have access to it, what if a F2P player wants to explore the deep areas a little more but doesn't have the air to do so? Just my thoughts

[gleaming bronze]

Instead of the welcoming blue color the ice rink once had, it’s now a dark void that swallows any sky kid unlucky enough to break its fragile layer of ice.

[grand spear]

OR they still bought assembly merch BUT they stitched out the assembly logo lmao

[iron elbow]

non-assembly props were probably in the bootlegs ones anyway

[pale junco]

Android updoot here

[spark lance]

Maybe suggest this in #beta-feedback

[grand spear]

grass here i come

[spark lance]

The other day ut said thatskywurst

[minor falcon]

that's what the second rebreather is basically

[faint rose]

Doing so now actually

[spark lance]

I can already see the uproar this is going to make if it goes to live

[faint rose]

Is there a difference between the two?

[spark lance]

The problem was the bag, not the logo

[iron elbow]

there's barley an advantage there tho, so what's the point

[peak mason]

there's two rebreathers now?

[sonic pivot]

I don’t see any changes with sky grass

[grand spear]

yeah! voi sent a screenshot (re: rebreather mask 2.0)

[pale junco]

Tgc: how are you doing today jasmine
Us: But... You did this.. for what!
Tgc: why not
Us: Why tho

[iron elbow]

wait are any of them perma breath or

[spark lance]

At this point I'd rather hold the prop myself

[slate shuttle]

there's always an update when im at work

[iron elbow]

new art convinced me abyss guide is ex-flight guide

[pale junco]

From what i can notice the grass and flower texture tilt rather than move out of the way, looks more realistic

[lunar jacinth]

Seems like they did add two masks, season of lightseekers style

[frosty trout]

Yep, sorry--I meant to include that in the updated notes, apparently the coffee hadn't kicked in yet

[mental ridge]

(replying here because of the slowmode) It was the same one, @frosty trout! Luckily, nothing else of the sort to report since then (although I’ll keep an eye on the notes!)

[iron elbow]

someone legit needs to test the difference in breath time between the two

ios crowd i believe in you

[proud coral]

We don't have access to the other one yet 👀 the final quest is unavailable

[iron elbow]

HECK

[frosty trout]

Thank you!
Also, in case anyone isn't overwhelmed with excitement for a sea monster with ten zillion eyes or currently out touching grass ( ), do folks have any comments or thoughts on the updates to the translation feature so far?

[tardy hawk]

#bringbackthevalleywater

maybe just make it an option to dive? i miss the water, it’s so plain now

[iron elbow]

moths are going to drown

[spark lance]

I shouldn't be laughing at this

[hollow compass]

Wait, they added one mask to the quest giver's tree like a sword pant thing?

[slate shuttle]

Oh no

[hollow compass]

urgh, why

[unreal geode]

Honestly I wouldn't mind the paradox... it's just special glacier water, its built different

[hollow compass]

Is it going to be another one of those 200 candles items?

[hallow igloo]

Is that... Bad?

[faint rose]

We don't know how much it costs at the moment

[proud coral]

:0 I love the new valley water! The chunk of ice breaking as you skate is super cool

[frosty trout]

The idea is to have it be available for in-game currency, similar to how there was the ultimate umbrella and the f2p umbrella in Season of Lightseekers.

[hollow compass]

yes and no. No, because more people can get a rebreather mask. Yes if it costs 200 candles.

[tardy hawk]

hopefully it isn’t 200 candles like some post season items

[wind locust]

Is anyone getting Connection Error too?

[slate shuttle]

If its 200 candles again I will cry

[iron elbow]

qg is giving away scubas like there's no tomorrow and doesn't wear one themselves... interesting.

[unreal geode]

Does anyone know if the second rebreather will only be available during the season or as a permanent item like in assembly?

[hollow compass]

sorry, I mixed up the yes and no

[true idol]

Sorry for making a dumb question but.. what do they mean by art pass? Another round of changes in the art of this season?

[frosty trout]

Art updates and improvements of all kinds, basically!

[hollow compass]

We literally just got the update.

[faint rose]

They could always update the design in future patches if they wanted

[gleaming bronze]

I’ve noticed that now that the boat to the season area has been moved to the clouds, it still gives the sound of the boat being on water

[tawdry pine]

So happy that f2p and future moths won't be in a disadvantage for not having the snorkel ult!!

[iron elbow]

i'm sensing nefarious vibes yk

[frosty trout]

I hate to break this to you, spoilers ahead, but.... ||spirits don't need to breathe anymore ||

[faint rose]

But aesthetic

[oblique fractal]

I mean they are technically spirits which means they're already not alive...

[lucid star]

With each new update, Gerald receives more eyes

[wheat panther]

Hope not too late to reply . I like the new translations on the boat messages! I wasn’t expecting to see the “-“ then the English translation underneath but it is nice.

[true idol]

I like the name

[valid terrace]

Yoooooo, IGC mask?? this is perfect

...also yes. spirits are dead.

[frosty trout]

No it's not too late! I want to hear ALL translation feedback! 🧹

Thanks @wheat panther!

[stray nexus]

I kinda like the updated days of love flower crown but wish it had..yknow a little bit of flare like maybe a small ribbon in there so it wouldnt just be a recolor of the assembly flower crown? Idk just my idea

[iron elbow]

this "anymore" is huge for lore imo

[hollow compass]

Funny how the water beast got more eyes, when player feedback changed the look of Flight area because of too many "eyes"/holes in the rocks.

[blissful harbor]

im so excited to go touch some sky grass :3 see yall in the space between isle and prairie

[frosty trout]

It's huge lore that ghosts don't breathe?

[hollow compass]

also, jaws, I find your pfp is really disturbing, sorry

[wraith bolt]

Anyone knows what happened to the Friendship-Realms-Constellations that returned to classic style?

[lucid ginkgo]

what is an art pass

[iron elbow]

:с

[grand spear]

changes & improvements in art, basically

[gleaming bronze]

Many sky kids lost their lives every time they dared to open their constellation.
The game kept crashing.

[spark lance]

@frosty trout any eta on getting the color bug resolved?

[sand rune]

hmmmm so the path to the big gem in quest 4 is different now?

[frosty trout]

I don't have one, sorry!

[valid terrace]

...may I ask how skykid biology works? How exactly are they bre - actually no that might not be a good question

[frosty trout]

That's a good topic for the lore channel.

[lucid ginkgo]

also no more valley pond??

[cold cargo]

praying they change ice rink back sooobb sob 🤲😭 (already left feedback dw)

[gleaming bronze]

Nope only spooky darkness that transitions into surprising beauty.

[hollow compass]

What happened to ice rink?

[spark lance]

I literally cannot test the 4th quest. I cannot play normally to test the basic game features.

[final garden]

Good news, the shells are giving wax now!

[cold cargo]

#beta-announcements

[hollow compass]

I don't follow, sorry. What do you mean?

[plush osprey]

What’s wrong with the new ice rink? I think it looks cool, it’s purple and you can crush some ice

[cold cargo]

go to beta updates & read recent notes~

[wraith bolt]

What the frill ?

[cold cargo]

oops wrong person so sorry

[lucid ginkgo]

YES COLD WATER IS DELICIOUS BUT WHO DRANK ALL THE VALLEY WATER

[plush osprey]

Ahh thought it was for me for a sec there

[grand spear]

they removed the "water" in ice rink

[sonic pivot]

Some people found the king krill 😂 I can only find the little ones

[lucid ginkgo]

THE ELDERS

[gleaming bronze]

Bruh, the season masks are cool, but if the ultimate give you the ability to breathe underwater, I’d kiss each of the developers.

[hollow compass]

Looks the same to me in Valley ice rink...?

[plush osprey]

The “water” is still there, it’s just an illusion

[cold cargo]

did u update ?

[hollow compass]

Just different lighting.

[grand spear]

oh? i've seen players with diff screenshots, the "water" isn't visually seen from above too, only void

[cold cargo]

i just like the way it was before idk ..... i like the water even if it's odd to some with this new season

[hallow igloo]

You know, the quest giver rebreather also just looks like a regular mask. Nice if you want to look topical or health conscious without bringing in stressful real world concepts

[hollow compass]

It's a bit more misty and blue, maybe. But the feeling is still similar.

[iron elbow]

ok no more a trypophobia cat

[grand spear]

ah yep they didn't change anything in it, you just won't see water from up top

[raw wasp]

Random thought but i feel like…

[hollow compass]

thank you!

[plush osprey]

I guess without the water, it look kinda empty. But the effect are still the same when you’re under there

[raw wasp]

They should just delete the ult mask 🌞. I really dont see why it needs to stick around yk…?

[kindred fossil]

Since the water is gone, what is it for Blue Light?

[cold cargo]

hmm i think itd be cool if the holes were more transparent ? but still visibly ice u get me

[frosty trout]

Psssst any more thoughts on the translation feature? 👀

[spark lance]

Did they add more grass and flowers or what’s happening?

[hollow compass]

Psssst, any more thoughts on removing the ability to put message items in the Home shrine?

[grand spear]

ooooh good question... since the blue light has that water function for enchantment right

[sand rune]

without the blue sheen the holes look scary after the ice is broken

[iron elbow]

android update pspspsps

[cold cargo]

if they made it more blue it would probably be less off

[grand spear]

yeah like ice where you don't know if you'll fall

[cold cargo]

happened before too 😇

[raw wasp]

The thing itself though

[grand spear]

i have yet to check again! i'll send beta feedback when i do

[hollow compass]

Sagomay, translation looks to be working fine.

[raw wasp]

It’s so pretty. Like a mini starlight desert…🌝🌝

[tender oasis]

Swimming feels so much easier and natural now

[inland wadi]

While I'm updating the game, is the constellation crash fixed?

[spark lance]

The water in valley looks not finished I’m pretty sure they’re aware of that

[raw wasp]

True but the bluish purple hue is so pretty,,,,,

[gleaming bronze]

Was there some water left? Someone go drink the rest of it.

[spark lance]

HOLD UP THEY REMOVED THE WATER?

[frosty trout]

A list of update changes is always posted in #beta-announcements, @spark lance 👀

[spark lance]

I feel so stupid I just realised now, tbh it makes sense since bc of the changes that we can swim underwater now but still sad

[gleaming bronze]

One of the developers did the MIB memory flash and told us there was never any water.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

[spark lance]

I saw

[plush osprey]

There’s no war in Ba Sing Se 😭😭 im dead 😭✋🏻

[hollow compass]

Am I supposed to start moving towards the surface every time I finish recording a video?

[valid terrace]

So how about the blue light? How would that affect it?

[raw wasp]

On a diff note maybe add a bluish purple glow to the entrances… the transition is kind of off putting going back and forth

[spark lance]

@frosty trout sorry for the ping but could u give an explanation to “touch the grass and flowers”, are there more grass and flowers added or where can I test this

[inland wadi]

Back to old constellation again

[frosty trout]

@spark lance There were some changes to the visual effects when Sky kids move through grass and flowers

[hollow compass]

Ah, the flashing star is still there.

[raw wasp]

Uh crap i submitted a non working file to beta feedback 🌞

[spark lance]

I see it, that’s a small detail but so cool at the same time

Also does it lag for everyone too when the ice breaks in valley?

[lucid ginkgo]

the update is gonna take some time but since the update description says you can't play instruments underwater, can someone test if that counts for other items too? or if it crashes or smth

[gilded parrot]

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

[mental ridge]

@sonic pivot (replying here due to slowmode) unfortunately, you cannot visit the creature after you complete the 4th quest 😔

[sonic pivot]

ok tysm for telling me xD I guess its too late then I cant unlink my account or smth haha

[lucid ginkgo]

idk how other ways to log in work but if you're logged in on game center you could log out and just make a new save without any account or make a new game center account and play with that

[elder musk]

The area under the ice rink still has the underwater muffled sound effects, if I believe my ears? It looks cool without the water, different charm than before.

[sonic pivot]

oh yea im logged in with game center

[gleaming bronze]

Why do the most horrific creatures in this game has the best details? It’s like they’re trying to balance traumatizing their players and give the best relaxing experience.

[lucid ginkgo]

go relax! have fun with friends! don't look behind you 👁️👄👁️

[pale junco]

Gw is adulthood that's why it's traumatizing 💀

[lucid ginkgo]

fr man 😔

[gleaming bronze]

If you hear a loud roaring sound, just know that the next few moments for you will be so much brighter than the bowels of the creature that’s spotted you.

[lucid ginkgo]

sit back, suck on a CapriSun and know that this is God's plan

[signal folio]

Welp it's official, the time of confusion has ended: skykids are not immune to water
RIP Valley water

[oblique fractal]

Found a new bug ✨ if you enter into the valley ice rink from one of the small holes then go to the big holes with the thin layer of ice, your screen will turn white for 2 seconds and both thin layers of ice will be taken down even tho you only touched one of them

[placid sky]

can you only see the king krill after you complete the 4th quest ?

[final garden]

The best time to see it is before doing the quest

[random monolith]

can someone tell me what is meant by “art pass”?

[grand spear]

Art improvements & updates etc

[empty rock]

nah im confused on where to go lol

[halcyon kelp]

Where can I find this said king krill

[gilded parrot]

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

[woeful geyser]

Lol

[austere merlin]

Thank you thatskypea

[vagrant sequoia]

Complete the 4th quest

[viscid rampart]

I have a question
It’s been like so long since the days of love update came in beta
Will the boat thingy ever become available? I’ve been waiting to test it out for so long

[grand spear]

I believe a message was sent to our inbox with the boat

[vagrant sequoia]

I think you should check ur inbox, it said that some players didn't receive it

[fast skiff]

Here’s how to visit the Leviathan if you haven’t completed quest 4 yet | visual aid by Darkstalkers#5733
• #beta-screenshots-videos message

[viscid rampart]

I’ll check if there’s anything in there hmm

[latent oar]

Yaaay shells and blue orbs finally give wax

[raw wasp]

The new art is

[oblique fractal]

They know....

[teal obsidian]

hello is anyone having an iap shop issue like i do? Items there do not show up.

[desert token]

yes, it’s a known issue. you should have received a days of love boat in your inbox for testing purposes, but there’s no way to access the swing/seesaw if you can’t buy them from the npc in office

[cobalt jacinth]

The flowers no longer glow as you run amongst them

[blissful wing]

NOoOOOooOOOOooooo

[cobalt jacinth]

Running for leaving feedback

[chrome ferry]

D:

[inland wadi]

Are wedges supposed to be greyed out when underwater?

[teal obsidian]

The days of love npc within office? Checked there but he only has in game currency items to offer. I thought the shop issue was a minor one and it should be fixed after an update or two but it's still the same for me, i noticed my friend on the other hand, was able to get the boat from there which made me perplexed a bit but i hope they fix it soon enough.

[inland wadi]

Did you get one in your inbox?

[latent oar]

Here's the reason they addressed
#beta-season-test-chat message

[dire knot]

beta take so much time to released and on the end it's going to be Hacked actually its already Hacked ?

[cobalt jacinth]

As told, it's a known issue for many people. This is how beta works so you can buy it in live for sure

[desert token]

the shop issue no longer affects testing because it only concerns old in app purchases (given the boat was sent to all testers' inboxes). no compensation in beta also applies to this matter

[ionic bluff]

huh

[teal obsidian]

Understood. Thank you! 😊 💓.

[dire knot]

bro we are waiting for sky children, new pubg has been Released and its hacked Sky children take so much time i don't know for what

[cobalt jacinth]

Excuse me? What are you waiting for? Sky: Children of The Light live can be downloaded from Google play store, App store and Nintendo store

[blissful wing]

??
(waitttt there are hacked sky kids in beta????)

[cobalt jacinth]

Or are you waiting for hacked Sky here in official Skyscord?

[dire knot]

Beta is different bro

[blissful wing]

visible confusion

[latent oar]

May you please reword it again, no one understand

[blissful wing]

Yea but you have to wait for the official opening of the beta if you want to get in

[dire knot]

ok the beta version is different then tht one on App store Right ?

[blissful wing]

do you want to get into beta?

[dire knot]

yeah i do

[blissful wing]

is that why you are commenting in here

[muted cargo]

Yes beta is seperate app

[fast skiff]

Beta is currently full/closed. You’ll need to wait for a next invite wave

[stiff apex]

What do they mean by another art pass 😯

[cobalt jacinth]

Beta is closed and full. You can't get in. It will be open when devs want. The illegitimate players have been mass kicked from beta not a long ago.
More to read: #beta-faq from top to bottom

[blissful wing]

do you think that beta will magically free up because you want to go in
no
thus you have to wait until a new invite wave
been there done that

[latent oar]

wow

[blissful wing]

????

[inland wadi]

They are testing new looks in the game

[blissful wing]

You better delete that

[muted cargo]

What da h

[placid herald]

Delete please this can be very triggering for a lot of people.

[dire knot]

ok

[hoary oyster]

I look at the beta updates and see something called "The Creature". This is gonna be something straight out of Subnautica, isn't it?

[blissful wing]

mhm

[dire knot]

Here we Go 🦦

[raw wasp]

Is any one else having issues with the ball spell? I can’t knock it around

[stiff apex]

Owhhh ok okay thank you

[blissful wing]

the creature

[faint rose]

Lore chat’s gonna have fun with it

[dire knot]

bro when is new Invite wave?

[blissful wing]

in a few months or even half a year

[fast skiff]

Only devs know

[cobalt jacinth]

As I already told, when devs want

[placid herald]

We don’t know. It’s sent when TGC needs new beta players

[faint rose]

Whenever it’s needed. There was one fairly recently, so there may not be another for a while

[blissful wing]

do you think that beta will magically free up because you want to go in

[muted cargo]

Ok chat imma take ma leave since i feel uncomfortable
G night all of tester friends
(Ty guys)

[blissful wing]

g night ^^

[inland wadi]

No fun for you

[raw wasp]

Grabs u and morphs you into a working beach ball

Let the fun begin

[blissful wing]

can i join lmao

Krilliam also wants to play

[raw wasp]

It hasn’t had any updates and i’m really not that big of a fan of it

I’m considering skipping the upper parts of angler’s tree to get some much needed candles (when abyss comes to live)

[cosmic orchid]

they'll send out invites when they need more testers
when they need more ✨

[minor falcon]

not very noticeable ones at least, the design is slowly growing on me

[placid herald]

If I’m being honest, I don’t even remember which cape is Anxious Angler’s one, but none of the capes of this season really touches me that much, as much as the design is “original” I’m not a huge fan of them

Ohhhh.. yeah I dont like it, something seems off about it
And either way I’m not a huge fan of the seasonal cosmetics overall (if not the entire season) but that’s just personal preferences

Been a while since I wanted a gw season but this really wasn’t expected

[hallow igloo]

I personally quite like almost all of them, even the ultimate, it's grown on me. I do think the small shawl one needs some work tho, the one with the tassels. When used with the arms crossed stance it gets even thinner and looks very... Not quite right. On the other hand, almost every item id want Is conveniently free without the ap

[blissful wing]

what realm will the next one be? what do you guys think?

[placid herald]

I wish to have a isle one again, it would give more credit to this wonderful yet underrated realm

[blissful wing]

EDEN BUT NOT THE ||PNR||

as in maybe near the start for moffs

[placid herald]

Or a season like the good ol’days when the season didn’t have specific location and the spirits were displayed all over the different realms

Tho this doesn’t sound like something TGC would do nowadays, but I liked searching for spirits in all the different realms, it gave some more challenges than just staying in a seasonal area for about an hour and never go there again

[blissful wing]

good ol' season of belonging

||I CANT SAY MUCH IM A PRE LITTLE PRINCE MOFF AAA||

Tru tru, maybe a little harder, but i feel like sky is too mellow and it might give it a bit of a challenge

[placid herald]

They put more and more work into seasons, everything have improved (not only in the good side) since the first ever seasonal area added for a season.

Tho I do really want some spirits all over the different realms, just staying in the same area and farming there for 2 hours is boring, and I hardly go in any seasonal areas

[blissful wing]

Definitely agreed.

[placid herald]

Last time seasonal spirits were displayed in other area than the seasonal area, it was in Assembly, and was only in forest

[blissful wing]

Wait what about belonging even tho it didnt have a seasonal area

[hallow igloo]

I but I do really appreciate how expansive and vast all these realms are to new players. So many places to explore

[placid herald]

Well I did say l a s t time it was (btw the last last time spirits were displayed in all different realms, it was in rhythm)

[blissful wing]

yup that too

[placid herald]

All seasonal spirits before season of enchantment had its seasonal spirits in all different realms, + assembly with some spirits all over forest realm only

Yeah that’s what I’m vouching about, I want an other season with spirit all over the realms because everything at the same place is boring imo

[blissful wing]

more challenging and in general more fascinating

[unborn patrol]

Are the glowing flowers in the fields supposed to not glow anymore? :0

[placid herald]

I don’t relive spirits memories either (except for dqs), but when the season first arrive, you need to get the spirits anyway, and that would be more challenging and entertaining to go look for those spirits in different realms

[blissful wing]

no they arent glowing it so sadddd

[tropic bough]

Why does the last quest say available in 42 days?

[spark lance]

Is it just me or is Sky more "Saturated" in color?

[placid herald]

#beta-announcements message

Season quests will be available on a compressed schedule for testing and are planned as follows:
🔵 Nov. 23: 1st quest (today)
🔵 Nov. 24: 2nd quest (Wed.)
🔵 Nov. 25: 3rd quest (Thurs.)
🔵 Nov. 26: 4th quest (Fri.)
The fifth and final quest will become available in late January. Let's worry about that later.

[spark lance]

One thing I need to say: Valley of Triumph is the most altered map in the game

[manic panther]

testing for Abyss so long in gonna move before its over

[vast moth]

“let’s worry about that later”

[timid bough]

there never was water in the valley rink

[vapid lichen]

Is this a bug: me and my friend can meet each other all maps expect the first map of valley, we will splisted into different server if we go there. I also tried to tp to my friend's server, I got into their map but not in their server

[manic panther]

why there ripples?

[cobalt jacinth]

And why are sounds and fx dampened as underwater, haha

[kind cypress]

Hi guys!
I wanted to ask if the dailies in beta are the ones which are gonna be in live the next week?
Or am I imagining this?

[raw wasp]

I guess it just froze over🙋‍♀️🙆‍♀️🤷‍♀️💃🕺💅🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧎‍♀️

[kind cypress]

Yep
I think so

[cobalt jacinth]

They are independent and often they are completely different to match what to test in beta

[minor falcon]

recently there's been a five day gap

[raw wasp]

Just a question but do you all think it would be good to replace the Bumbling Boatswain’s current “hairstyle” with the tearful light miner’s hair? It feels a little weird that it doesn’t reconcile well with the existing artwork

[pine garden]

Where did they get the new season poster?!

[vapid lichen]

I see, thanks for reply, gotta report it later lol

[raw wasp]

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[twin isle]

Anyone see what is supposed to happen with the flowers? I don't notice a change other than them not really glowing much anymore when you step on them.

[kindred fossil]

That’s the only thing I noticed, it doesn’t glow as much

[spark lance]

Old conste is back?!? 😱

[bitter cape]

They're using it as a placeholder I think , while they fix and tweak the new one

It was causing crashes in the previous build

[spark lance]

I think you're right, but it had a weird effect on me ... I'm nostalgic and didn't know it 😁

[dire lake]

What happened to the ark to the Abyss area? Was it moved because it’s not next to the tower anymore

[mild patio]

Does anyone like the free breather mask then the AP breather more?

[simple slate]

Boat was moved to Wasteland social area

[languid gale]

Just a thought: Shared Space under Ice rink

[timber sinew]

I wonder how much the igc mask costs

[spark lance]

is it me or the adjustments on the assembly bag didn't affect it's redundancy? Still feels the same despite the logo removed from non- assembly props

[mild patio]

I dont want to grind for candles but i like the igc snorkel better than the AP version. The AP version kinda makes you look like a Kappa/Seal. 🥺

[raw wasp]

Its probably the quickest solution. I would love to see them implement beautiful custom bags for each season though

Ive seen some really good fanmade ideas around here that i really wish could be in sky

[final garden]

First read that as "beautiful custom bugs"

[raw wasp]

Beta specialty

[mild patio]

I dont know if its the intended design but the AP snorkel makes you look like a Kappa (japanese merman) or a seal. It looks goofy imho. Maybe instead of those slanted pointy things make it like a pair of horizonal cylinders akin to a real oxygen canister or more like an atlantean feel with small sea dragon or sea horse fins.

Still not a fan of the small bulky bag for the props. I prefer a slimer sack with neutral colors (white, gray, brown) that wont protrude much from the back so it goes well with outfits and not feel out of place.

[spark lance]

Agreed.The logo should correspond based from a season where the items/props were derived from

[raw wasp]

I’d like to see them do more than that, but that would be a start. I understand that it does take time to make custom models for stuff but i would REALLY like to see backpacks that have different color palettes, shapes, and maybe not even backpacks it would definitely be a long term addition but if they can pull it off

[mild patio]

The bagpack really feels out of place with the fantasy outfits cause how it looks "realistic and modern". It looks like an ordinary camper/scout bag for a child.

[raw wasp]

I think its also just ugly 🧍

[simple slate]

It would be also nice if all items from a season are not all in bags , nice to see different items too

[spark lance]

Yes,the bags are honestly getting iterated

[mild patio]

Im sorry to those who design it but yeah T.T

[hallow igloo]

Well yeah but so do the jelly whisperer pants and sunglasses mask

[raw wasp]

Some of the concepts ive seen imagine them as scrolls or bundles of maps. They all come from the same person but GOD theyre so good at it

[mild patio]

But u gotta admit the jelly pants almost always fit every cape cause its black and has a neutral/nice fit. Thats why i want the bag if it stays that way to have a neutral color.

[simple slate]

Though the bag from Assembly is not bad, it fits to the vibe for Season of Assembly, but if its applied to other seasons, it would be nice to have different designs too, with or without season logo

[raw wasp]

I’d just in general love to see a specific back prop for each season’s set of props thats unique and matching the theme well

Back props are a pretty good tool in terms of skykid fashion since its safe to say you see the back of your kid more often than the front

[mild patio]

Agree for assembly things the bagpack really fits well. But for other seasons maybe an old cloth sack, tools wrapped in cloth, a basket etc uniquely for each season

[raw wasp]

And also it can contribute to the making or breaking of an outfit too.

[desert token]

I think it would be more appealing to have different backpacks for each season the spirit selling the props originate from. I know Polinho#4240 has posted amazing fanart. admittedly it's very complex designs for seasonal backpacks, but it currently rankles to have the design of all props be both extremely generic, hard to pair with outfits, and iterated to infinity. having a "seasonal" backpack would be a lot less resource-intensive than designing back items to match the contents of the backpack

[mild patio]

Yeah like for example youre wearing a full sanctuary outfit, the "bag" could be something remeniscent of a beach outing or a picnic.

[raw wasp]

So i think that having special back props that are matched to the seasons theme would bring that to a new level, esp since the vast majority of cosmetics are from some kind of season, and as such, theyre bound to match with it somehow

[raw wasp]

Exactly that person!

[desert token]

some seasons have great outfit crossover as well. rhythm really goes hand in hand with flight imo

[raw wasp]

Idk i have a strong passion for skykid fashion

But yeah as detailed as stuff like polinho’s concepts might be id still by far prefer they invest some time in something akin to it versus leaving the bags in their current state

[lyric kite]

Maybe as a compromise they could do something like a toggle in the settings to show the backpack on your back or not? Like you could still be carrying the item, it just wouldn't be visible on your back if you toggle it off. For people who still want to use the props but don't like the backpack design. Idk

[spark lance]

Well,for now im glad that they made adjustments about the bag of how incoherent some items are within it indicating it's being addressed. Prospecting new features/adjustments regarding these is a good to go

[mild patio]

I'd like this. Since i dont have a torch, i carry the fire prophet's prop most of the time

[raw wasp]

The bags have a lot of potential to elevate the customization capabilities of skykids to a whole new level and i think TGC should definitely use that opportunity

Well a whole new level MIGHT be a bit far

But it’d be really nice

[mild patio]

Be sure to send them these suggestions so they can read it how people really want to improve the design of the prop bag

[timid bough]

i actually like the snorkel because it looks industrial

[raw wasp]

Sent it now we shall see

[raw wasp]

Honestly I don’t think ill get it when it comes to live. I think im just not interested in it no matter what they do

[timid bough]

the design of props showing on your back will always be low priority unless they make some sort of new universal customisation for the props

different tastes my friend its understandable

[raw wasp]

Besides i’m thinking about skipping the Anxious Angler spirit when they come to live too. Their emotes are good but i cant justify any of their cosmetics (again personal preference)

Plus the ult cape’s current placement means i can skip a spirit or two and still get it

I’ll probably be getting everything from the other 3 tho

[raw wasp]

Also this is true but we can dream and send feedback

[stuck sparrow]

Small question! Is it just me or are you all seeing the old friend constellation?

[raw wasp]

Yes. The new design had started crashing people with one of the more recent builds, so they have to use the old one temporarily 🌚

[stuck sparrow]

Thanks 🙏

[jolly bear]

Say
Should i sent feedback on adding more Seasonal Candle buy option in Shop ?

Like maybe for another variation and not only for 15 candle

Maybe can for 3 Candle or 5 Candle
S

Since i noticed some Players sometime didn't need that much 15 Seasonal Candle to finish their season constellation

[fast skiff]

Your thoughts are always welcome in #live-feedback

[prime lintel]

if it's something you'd like to see in the game, then definitely leave feedback about it! Just put your specific suggestion in #live-feedback as seasonal candle packs are something already in the live version of the game

[fast skiff]

oops

[dire knot]

[languid ocean]

Can you still dive in other waters?

[kind hawk]

I think I forgot the new season area entrance,or tgc moved the season boat to another location?
I can't found the boat in wasteland

[lyric kite]

It was moved to the Wasteland social space a few builds ago

[stiff tusk]

Make sure you always read and keep up to date with #beta-announcements as info like the fact that the boat was moved to gw social space is within those messages.

[trim spade]

What’s an art pass?

[lyric kite]

I think it means they went through and did some art updates to various things for the season or other new content

[onyx ginkgo]

You guys like the new backpack design?

[stiff tusk]

In the info about the season, I think it was posted in screenshots and vids

[lyric kite]

For example, some of the capes and other cosmetics for the season have been updated a bit I think (most of them have blue crystals now)

[trim spade]

It’s ok I guess, it was better with something on it

[stiff tusk]

The assembly props are still meant to have the badge

[onyx ginkgo]

Is it just me or the backpack looks more plain than before

[agile hazel]

It's just the same backpack without the assembly logo. Not really much of a change honestly

And even with it removed, it's still the assembly backpack to me. The look of the backpack itself is tied with assembly

[royal vapor]

Even a simple color change may could make things different
They said the logo of the assembly means an item could be put, that's not make sense to delete it again

[agile hazel]

Honestly yeah, it looks really plain. I don't like the assembly backpack but I'd rather the old look than this

[stiff tusk]

I agree however, stated by Kjin a while ago, the backpack itself is not meant to be tied to assembly, but rather shared spaces, hence why the look of the backpacks all look like that

[uneven valve]

Is it just me but I like the old ice rink more- like I miss the water-

[stiff tusk]

So I dont thing the look of the bags is gonna be changing

[lyric kite]

I understand their intent behind the design, I just personally don't like it lol

[stiff tusk]

I dont miss the water but i did prefer the colour underneath

[agile hazel]

I know, but TGC's intention for it has been completely missed by the player base. I haven't seen anyone who doesn't associate it with assembly

[royal vapor]

And they put the blue water orb there in enchantment I thought the water in that area is special, if they delete the water then why water orb there
I forgot the name of that thing

[lyric kite]

I think the text for that Enchantment quest also mentions something about a mountain lake that now no longer exists

[stiff tusk]

I think that's only because shared spaces came after assembly, so perhaps if the player base was informed of the reason by the set look of props, we would be less likly to associate it with assembly (even though we all still will)
All I'm saying is I'm like
85% sure that they wont change it

[stiff tusk]

Good point
Maybe they should just make it water rather then remove the "water" layer

[royal vapor]

But I do think the thin ice idea is really an good idea, but it shouldn’t be placed here

n I thinkw there's a small problem with the dealing of the underwater world that players cannot stand on the ground under the water, or it is difficult to do like that, if player can still skiing under the mountain lake then it's not bad to just make that place underwater

[agile hazel]

It's intrinsically tied to assembly since it was introduced during the season.
Not to mention it's kinda redundant to have to denote that these are shared space props considering all props can be placed inside and outside of shared spaces. And that any and all props that you own are already displayed when in shared space editing mode

[timid bough]

wait, are moths able to dive or do they need to get the ability at treasure reef first

[oblique fractal]

They gotta get the ability first, so if a moth were to crash by valley they will probably float if the water was actually "diveable"

[manic panther]

i like that they ddnt make it underwater because its fun to go there, use an emote and just slide endlessly in a circle

[kind hawk]

Ok. Thanks

[stuck sparrow]

So, the second winglight has been removed? I just spend an hour looking for it, I can only see the one on top of the tall tower now.

[timid bough]

no idea
they are still restructuring the area where the wing light was

[simple slate]

If you already got the 1st winglight it seems it moved to tower and you'll only see glitters, new winglight was added to where you got the 1st one , I got the 2nd winglight from the one underwater . Try to check if its still there (the 2nd one)

[vestal tiger]

Okay, am I the only one who doesn’t like the way grass and flowers look now? I liked when they glowed ever so slightly whenever a skykid walked on them, it gave the environment an extra little bit of magic.

[stuck sparrow]

No, the entry to the one underwater has been removed. The only one left is the first one they moved on the tall tower.
I thought they moved that "secret door" somewhere else, but I've been searching for an hour to no avail🤷🏻‍♀️.
But I guess we'll have to wait to see. I really hope they bring more because we only got one in Season of Flight. 😣

[simple slate]

Hopefully more child lights

[manic panther]

the way there was removed in the new build? i got it fine in the last one when it was added

[latent oar]

It's completely blocked rn

[manic panther]

im guessing theyre working on remodeling the empty half-made room where the grate was?

[swift crown]

I would like to ask, has anyone tried to run out of oxygen and see what happens? will we lose the light like in the rain in the Forest?

[latent oar]

Yeah I think so! ref screenshot here in other channel #beta-screenshots-videos message

[stuck sparrow]

Maybe, it was perfectly fine, a good hideout for a winglight. I just hope they bring it back.

[manic panther]

i mean from the screenshot Roc sent it looks like the "gate" is still there and not totally removed, they might just adjust the placement

[spark lance]

Ayo when is abyss coming to sky?

[latent oar]

In last build the shiny boi kinda floating in the air, and building itself was groundless. Pretty sure it's still in restructuring

[timid bough]

there is also a big hole near the two manta chambers caused by various adjustments in the area

[stuck sparrow]

Oh! So it's still there but hidden or inaccessible 🤔

[vestal tiger]

That knowledge is above our nonexistent pay grade, we know nothing of timelines

[manic panther]

1. we don't know yet, nobody will until TGC announces it
2. beta is not just for asking when new things are

[latent oar]

Inaccessible, I would say

[spark lance]

Hm Ig it is quite odd that they already started the season quickly when flight didn't even end

[stuck sparrow]

You know nothing John Snow 🤣

[timid bough]

they needed testing on the diving mechanics

[manic panther]

yeah the diving is a HUGE function to add so they need to be REAL sure they dont screw it up in advance

[spark lance]

It was one question i wasn't gonna ask and leave

[vestal tiger]

This is actually pretty normal. They run through the season pretty fast because they’re trying to keep the time between seasons as short as possible (they used to wait a little longer— I shudder when I remember the time from the end of Gratitude to the beginning of Lightseekers)

[latent oar]

Also this is the first time they have such tons of huge changes during beta, I think it explained why the preview art is very late this time.

[manic panther]

oh dw dw im jst reminding
i see a lot of people just pop in only to ask and then leave so i make sure to let people know

[spark lance]

Ah i just started im beta so i have no idea what im doing haha

[stuck sparrow]

And when do you think testers will do their job? It takes time so it's normal it has started in beta before the Live Season is over. 🙏

[stuck sparrow]

Welcome to beta then. 🥰

[spark lance]

It took half a year to finally be able to download beta people are very stingy with the app its hard to find a available time u can get it and hacked versions are probably the cause why beta is so full all the time

[manic panther]

they only ever release a few precious slots when they need them, usually several months between
and hundreds of people are RUSHING to get them the second they drop
i was lucky to get in

technically i DIDNT get in even, someone just happened to leave after the slots were all taken and i was lucky enough to be checking the play store at the time

[stuck sparrow]

Yes, everybody wants in, but not everyone wants the responsibility. So please make the most of your luck and test and report as much as needed. 🙏🙂

[spark lance]

No worries i beta test Minecraft i gotcha

[manic panther]

that reminds me i never reported like.. 3 bugs and now its been 2-3 builds since
i should look for em again real quick

bug reporting is a pain in the butt for me because i have to like.. pretype things or the timeout yeets my half done report
and also getting a screenshot is a hike and a half

[spark lance]

Just keep a note file or equivalent for your os and just modify as builds change, etc. That's what I do.

[stuck sparrow]

That's what I did too. 🤣 I finally got the time tonight and it was gone 🤔
But I was able to report one that was still there. 👍

[manic panther]

haha i have the secret technique of just.. going back and looking at my prevoius report to copy/paste the specs

[stuck sparrow]

Goodnight everyone, it's 1am here 💤😴

[manic panther]

anyone else seen yellow sliding race or purple village of dreams since the update?

ok so my esting list is
-yellow snow (reported, several builds back)
-purple village (not reported, several builds back)
-abyss seizure wisp (not reported, last build)

[timid bough]

no more valley of cheese

[manic panther]

village still purble... my beloved

wait i have to update dont i

damn you lack of auto update

[timid bough]

purple village used to be android exclusive and now its back?

[manic panther]

i will recheck after updating
and yes, my beta is an android

my main's an iphone but the battery is a potato and it dies in 15 mins

PURPLE VILLAGE LIVES AGAIN

[timid bough]

honestly no matter how buggy it always is
lighting in sky is very good, it allows the game to not be so detailed yet beautiful especially in a 3D environment
it feels so natural yet unique and doesn't look like those cheaply made unity or unreal engine made games

[novel aspen]

Oh goodness, why is the ground purple? Is it a bug?

Either way, it looks awesome lol

[topaz nova]

I heard that white cape lvl 2 and black cape lvl are coming to live version soon, is that information right?

[misty bone]

!omgomgwhen

[gilded parrot]

No one knows when things will happen in Live Any Live announcements will be made in #news!

[dry gazelle]

I'm sorry if this question is ask too many times and you sick of it. But, am i the only one that the summer lamp is gone? I can't find it in the wardrobe or in my magic list. I just knew it when i decided to bring the lamp to explore the new krill tower.

[odd lintel]

how scary do they want this creature to be-

[young magnet]

Unless there is an official announcement/update from TGC, nobody no exactly what would come to live

[misty bone]

my lamp is still here... try relogin or are you sharing account?

[dry gazelle]

Thank you for your advice, i found the lamp

[manic panther]

HOT TAKE: every new build adds one (1) eye to the leviathan it jsut takes them some time to update it

[oblique fractal]

Then by the end of the season the leviathan might have over 100 eyes...

all over the body....

Creepy....

[dawn prism]

Yeah no thanks o.O

thats too many eyes this is a good number to stay at

[oblique fractal]

Imagine if in the 5th quest you have to face the leviathan and poke all it's eyes /j

[inner loom]

That 4th quest was amazing!!!

[manic panther]

i figure it out... i know what the 5th quest will be
we harpoon the leviathan with the help of the cannoneer!!
jk but that would be pretty dang cool

[inner loom]

finally a challenging challenge 🤣

[oblique fractal]

Omg bye bye leviathan

Ik dang well the 5th quest will include the leviathan, the devs just don't add it there for showroom reasons

Prepare for a very scary season abyss moths!

[inner loom]

poor baby moffs 😅

thinking they can avoid danger by not going to wasteland

[manic panther]

theoretically the leviathan has access to the entire sea until that last quest 👀
nowhere is safe. if it has ocean, he could be there

[gilded parrot]

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

[misty bone]

out of curiousity, 4th quest will see 1 or 2 krills on the way? I only seen one but i think it was placed much better than the last time round

[finite inlet]

is the pitch dark bug already fixed??

[trail barn]

Eh sorry more eyes to THE WHAT? 😳

[manic panther]

have you finishd the 4th quest

[finite inlet]

mommy krill

THE SHELLS FILL YOUR WAX METER NOW 🎉

i wonder if i can hold my umbrella during the sliding race while im testing

[prime oriole]

Will I lose my qualification if I log in to the test server frequently?

[manic panther]

the qualification for "regularly" isnt very clear but some users have still been able to log in after a few months break
but if you mean youre on a lot thats actually good

[hollow compass]

If you're on Android, you never lose it unless you actively leave.

[prime oriole]

Thank you. I just saw that my test runs until March, and I thought I would lose my qualification

[hollow compass]

All patches have a 90 days expiry. But we always get new updates before that.

[manic panther]

the time left is a placeholder, it refreshes when new builds are released (so it never really expires)

[prime oriole]

I'm ios

[manic panther]

anyone else unable to start sliding race? it just. wont go for me when i sit in the circle

[azure kernel]

first sky boss battle!
but instead of fighting it, the spirits does it

[prime oriole]

Thank you very much for your answers

[hollow compass]

I haven't done any races since Belonging. Sorry.

Try going Home and back?

[manic panther]

ok yeah something is up with sliding race. i left and came back and it still wont trigger. will try home rn

[latent oar]

Try to turn off network for a few secs (around 10-15) too

[manic panther]

unfortunately i am not smart enough for that, idk how androids work lmao

... yeah it just straight up wont trigger.

[prime oriole]

I wonder which lucky friend has a test spot on switch

[manic panther]

nintendo's rules dont let us have switch beta after the game launches 😔

OH TURNING OFF NETWORK WORKED
weird. why it do that. what da dog doin

[prime oriole]

I envy my friend who has Link's haircut

[manic panther]

me jsut now realizing this is the flying race:

[latent oar]

Most likely a server merge bug there, so when you went solo it works again

[hollow compass]

No one, because beta ended for Nintendo.

[manic panther]

well at least i can test both now

[upbeat sapphire]

It is mentioned in the update that the effect of walking over flowers and grass has been improved. I tried it but they no longer shine . Is this a bug?

[hollow compass]

The Nintendo pack was tested and available for a short while in regular beta.

[manic panther]

if it feels like a bug its always worth reporting! dev team will decide if its working as intended or not

[peak token]

kind of oot but so i lean to someone with tea table, i didnt sit on the rock thingy but i can drink the tea

[prime oriole]

It's a pity

The ship was submerged in water

[upbeat sapphire]

OK, I'll report it now

basically, the Switch beta ended when Switch released and there isn't one anymore

[rose talon]

Sooo there’s no boat to get to the island where I’m at

[oak remnant]

Where are you at? You should find it on the right side of gw social area (gw entrance where there is a bonfire).

[gilded parrot]

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

[manic panther]

hmm i just watched a capeless kid get like.... 50 big white crystals in home... but they didnt get any candles or spells at all like the candle/IAP bug would
is this suspicious. shoul i be concerned about that

#beta-faq message
Q: WHY IS THERE NO BETA FOR NINTENDO SWITCH?

Beta Testing for Nintendo follows different guidelines than Mobile. They do not permit a public Beta after a game is released. All future content testing will be conducted on Mobile only.

[robust delta]

i just heard the news, why did they delete the water at the ice rink in valley, it was perfect the way it is

[swift ember]

I misread, thinking they were talking about the red and blue $29.99 package on switch ♡

But thank you ♡

[cosmic orchid]

since there really isn't water there and it was quite confusing being able to skate through that place like there's no water at all when we can actually swim and dive after the Abyss update

devs probably decided to make it the what it is now than adding actual water there and make one of the winged lights inaccessible if you don't have the dive ability

[cursive tinsel]

What do you think about the thin ice breaking on both entrances under the ice rink when you only enter by one?

[robust delta]

they delete the water will raise more question tbh, like how did that ice rink formed without water? Was there 2 layers of water? one floating and one at the bottom? like they got split and froze in mid air-

[cursive tinsel]

Like a glacier, melt water drops down nd creates ice caves and drains away.
If they wanted real physics they should create a stream through it draining away underneath but it's Sky, physics don't apply and they shouldn't ... it's a game!

[agile hazel]

The specifics of that really isn't a concern tbh

[covert hemlock]

XD The paradox of water in Valley of Triumph

[robust delta]

true that physic doesn't implied much in sky, but most of the map in it that have water still works normally. Floating ice rink still pretty odd, considering it used to be water. And we shouldn't say "just let it be like that, it's a game", if that's the case, they should have ignore why we can't be drowned under ice rink in the first place, it also doesn't need to make sense, there're people have the water as their favorite place to play in sky, and that's enough.

[cosmic orchid]

I'm just happy that they did something about that so it would no longer conflict with the whole water and diving mechanics

[oak remnant]

I was surprised and found it weird, but it would be kinda difficult to remember for the hole to go out if only one is breaking. Especially for new players.

I want the breaking sound to be more like an ice crack tho

[agile hazel]

Removing the water was the only logical choice

[cosmic orchid]

either they remove the water or add actual water

[robust delta]

there are another logical choice thou, they can add recharge source under the actual water

[agile hazel]

And they can't add actual water otherwise new players can't access the area

[cosmic orchid]

if they add actual water then we wouldn't be able to freely skate and admire the spot

[robust delta]

but doesn't it have diving mechanism thou, even in home space and the sanctuary island

[oak remnant]

They need to get the diving ability first

In new seasonal area

[limpid vortex]

is anyone still having trouble with the iap store? is it empty?

[robust delta]

yeah, they can still get it because to get in it, they need to have enough spirit, not stars

so they could just get the diving and get back to valley and dive, it still more sense to put actual water and let the player get the diving skill to get the star, than making floating ice rinks

[cosmic orchid]

I prefer being able to skate there tbh

so I'm go with the no water under Valley Ice rink

[robust delta]

alright, that's your opinion, i respect that

[agile hazel]

Blocking off an area behind a new ability is unprecedented. Only barriers block off areas

[oak remnant]

Oh right, that's possible! But what a hassle

[cursive tinsel]

The water could be a barrier? But it would have to give a hint to a realm the new player hasn't got to yet...and a seasonal area at that

[robust delta]

yep that would be cool!

[agile hazel]

That would be extremely unfair for new players. Everyone until that point would be have been able to freely go under the icerink but now this would force new players to get an ability first

[halcyon raft]

Honestly I didnt really think about it. I guess Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs numb my brain. (Sky) An ice cave with an ice roof and an ice floor makes sense. (Ice Age) An ice cave with an ice roof and a tropical forest/Jungle does not make sense.

[robust delta]

season of flight is exactly like that, you have to finish the quest to open the clouds portal, which used to be a barrier block, why can't season of abyss be the same in diving? just instead of short cuts, it is open to water realm

[cursive tinsel]

I personally never thought of it as a floating ice rink so I suppose that's why I don't mind as much but that your POV counts too!
I do like that they kept the the sound change as you go under, I would like to see the light blue light effect kept though even when looking in from the surface though

[agile hazel]

But the wind tunnels are part of the seasonal area, not a base realm

[cursive tinsel]

What was it about the water you really enjoyed and miss now?

[robust delta]

to be honest i didn't need it to make sense, i just have my own opinion that i prefer sliding under water, and the fact tgc make it gone to make it more logical doesn't change much of how odd it is for me. If they add actual water i can get it because at least it is logic in some ways

[robust delta]

then it is a new mechanism, after all it is a exploring game, shouldn't new mechanism means new player should try it out and explore more. beside there's only one star there, it doesn't change much

[robust delta]

well, my own opinion, it looks mystic and natural, that's all, also playing piano underwater is fun

[agile hazel]

Yes players should explore, but the diving ability is only acquired in the new season. It's unfair for an area to be blocked off behind diving considering we've always been able to go under the icerink

[spark lance]

It would get annoying very fast if I had to switch to the diving mechanics just to get some wax and the wl down there tbh so you're right

[cursive tinsel]

So I take it that you are not a fan of removing the ability to play instruments underwater in the latest build then ?

[manic panther]

not to mention you cant use the candle underwater so the candles would be unlightable

[robust delta]

the season of flight is also unfair if you consider about it, news player still have to explore the flight map to open up shortcuts. Veterans can fly through the cloud tunnel while in the new player's eyes, they fly through clouds. Or the fact that new player have to open 4 players door, where they either have to farm for chibi mask or friending with four people. It will go the same to the water area. Either ways new player still have to explore to get that abilities, like i said, it's only one star, why does it have to be so precious

[robust delta]

yeah lol

[oak remnant]

Oh, I didn't think about this before 👁️👄👁️ now I get why removing the water is more logical

[cursive tinsel]

Sidenote...is anyone seeing the assembly logo on backpacks for props from assembly?

[agile hazel]

Opening up shortcuts isn't unfair at all, it's a reward you get for completing Flight quests. And it doesn't affect base gameplay in anyway apart from saving a bit of time flying to an area. And you can open 4 player doors by waiting for other players?

[manic panther]

dont have any to test but the assembly logo SHOULD still be on assembly items

[cursive tinsel]

The brazier and pillow were assembly props right?

[robust delta]

then why don't season of abyss like that, a reward to dive down and explore more?

[agile hazel]

It basically does? The entire season is just that?

[manic panther]

mostly because it would be COMPLETELY uncollectable for players who haven't unlocked the ability to dive, while the ability to fly has always been there

[spark lance]

The Windpaths are only advantageous to seasoned players because they've already explored the world and would understand it better than your average moth still in awe of everything else, eventually they'll learn about the Windpaths and learn how to utilise them. Remember that moths don't necessarily jump into the world trying to candle run and even if they do, the Windpaths won't give them an edge when they're only connected to seasonal areas

[robust delta]

i know, then why don't we use it to dive in the water of the ice rink?

[agile hazel]

Again I've already said, it blocks off new players from the icerink

[robust delta]

it won't block if they explore the season map, which cost spirits

[agile hazel]

It is part of the base game, seasonal content does not affect base gameplay

[oak remnant]

I think Elysian has already explained it.....? Ice rink is a base gameplay. New players should be able to access it without gaining a new seasonal ability first.

[manic panther]

the turtle used to exist before abyss, right? i swear i remember hearing about it

[robust delta]

then i also explained it, it doesn't have to be a base game, it can be a new area to discover

[manic panther]

it's no different than a spirit barrier around a wingled light
except that spirits are free and dont require eden and a quest
and diving requres eden and a quest

[agile hazel]

What? Changing base game content to become seasonal makes no sense at all

[robust delta]

what doesn't make sense about that, it's a water area, like when you unlock it, you can explore water area, that's literally it, and it's just one spot with one winglight

[halcyon raft]

I think this whole ice rink thing has spiraled out of proportion.

[manic panther]

i think the point is that something that was alreay accessible shouldnt be taken away because of a new season

[cursive tinsel]

Ok what would you change about the under ice rink area to have it better than it is now but without a diving mechanic?

[robust delta]

they literally change the whole courses of in the end of the race map just for season of dream

[spark lance]

It really has

[spark lance]

I think it's time to let it go fam, there won't be water down there

[manic panther]

-drain the water, keep the WL and candles
-keep the water, but the WL is now locked away for new players, adn the candles are unlightable
-keep the water, but move the WL and candles

[robust delta]

sad noises

[cursive tinsel]

So... let's more to a calmer beta topic to give time for everyone to feedback about ice-rink....
How about Rudy, Gerald , king krill or the creature? What is their true name?

[manic panther]

to be entirely fair, the WL would go nicely up next to Confident Sightseer? i feel liek a lot of people miss that area
or maybe in the tunnel

or ABOVE the tunnel for the adventurous type that looks around!

[spark lance]

I like the wl being down there, as a moth you miss a ton of it bc they're scattered in some really odd places

[robust delta]

look, at first i just stating my opinion of liking to slide under the water, but if we talk about it make more sense and it's the only way, i just disagree because adding actual water there is still more logic and understandable for me, that's all

[manic panther]

that is the point of WL.. reward for exploration 😉

[manic panther]

we'll still be able to slide down there, the floor is still ice

[halcyon raft]

I feel like the name should be something from like pirates of the caribbean. Idk the season gives me big pirate vibs and there are pleanty of sea mosters in those movies.
