beta-season-test-chat

[hollow compass]

Go to the seasonal area via the collab area instead of via teleport to season guide. This is how I got around the bug that send you oob instantly.

[dense smelt]

Collab area?

[hollow compass]

Where the little prince area used to be in vault

[spiral lodge]

I really hope there will be some traditional URs this season. I have a feeling the mask will be candles and who knows how expensive it’ll be

[rough kraken]

I’m sure there will be ults

[fresh carbon]

we should rebel!!! protest!!! SAVE THE DEER! refuse all quests in order to keep the deer's magic!!!!

[dim cedar]

I'm a deer hater, I'm going to do all quest the moment I can now

[hollow compass]

Anyone else think the deer looks super weird when it leans its head forward? Like, I'm not sure the model is meant to stretch quite like that....

[fresh carbon]

it has gumgum powers (jk)
it's probably bc it's such an early build, they'll definitely fix up the model as we go along

[fervent island]

yes it stretches out abruptly

[tender crescent]

Hey guys did you know where we want to buy a new season cosmetics?

[hollow compass]

#beta-known-issues edit: #beta-announcements <- sorry, it's actually mentioned in this one

[fresh carbon]

they're not out just yet! you can test them in the closest

[tender crescent]

Okay thanks

[rich silo]

agh I'm so mad I had such limited time I couldn't SCR before reset

[digital turret]

That deer mask is an abomination… i’ll be sending my feedback but why are we not getting the nine coloured deer’s head in a mask form?

[pale yoke]

There doesn’t seem to be anything specifically designed around the deer 🫤

[digital turret]

There don’t seem to be any ults on the quest giver spirit tree so there’s still hope!

[spiral lodge]

Wish there were at least like antlers or something

[pale yoke]

I mean, is the deer a doe or a buck in the story?

Nm I just looked up the original on wiki, definitely had cool horns

[white flax]

where's the headbob spirit? Well the spirit with a headbob placeholder at least

Also CWD be goin' crazy on this one

[uncut ginkgo]

What is the season called? Of the 9 colored deer?

[pale yoke]

I think that’s what it said on the intro

[digital turret]

Yeah, she refers to herself as the “queen of deers” but she does have antlers. Tgc did a brilliant job with her design, why they haven’t translated that into a cosmetic mask is beyond me

[pale yoke]

Probably for IAP sadly

[digital turret]

Oh yeah! I forgot this is a collaboration season! I usually end up paying for the iaps and not the season pass. The pendant is beautiful this time though

[pale yoke]

Oh I really like a lot of the cosmetics this season as well tho but that’s a good tactic

[shadow oak]

not all cosmetics are finished so wafo on that one, we don't have iaps or ults yet. What bothers me is that mask without horns will be no good at all so it doesn't make sense for it to be free and for horns to be iap

[pale yoke]

I want more cool or unique people masks, I’m not a fan of the animals.

[rich silo]

wdym there is a mask
#beta-screenshots-videos message (second last image)

like probably will get the antlers later but the mask does represent the deer tbh, since it's got the other colours on it

[pale yoke]

Yeah true. White glowy horns would be cool

[shadow oak]

also while I love capes and pants, other masks are weird, eyeless and all
and I kinda wish capes had more color variations

[pale yoke]

Not even just the ones with a simple splash of color?

[rich silo]

those are probs just for people who enjoy maskless
if you wear the shattering or yeti pants, those change the eyelash colour and can be matched in that way

[digital turret]

That’s the one i’m referring to as an “abomination” it doesn’t even look like a deer, or replicate the actual nine coloured deer in this season.. the shape of the mask looks more like a rabbit. I was expecting gratitude 2.0 level awesomeness and this just is not cutting it

[rich silo]

but this is not gratitude? XD
tbh it is already improved because the model in comparison is waaayyy smoother and less chunky feeling

[lavish matrix]

It's in the first build, normally collab seasons would have the extra items so we will wait and see for thr later builds

[digital turret]

Still it’s the closest thing we have to a deer in the game, so it’s what i’ll use as reference

[rich silo]

yeah and like we have multiple bird masks and they're all different so idk why the deer has to be the same

[lavish matrix]

I prefer the deer mask without the horns because I like the lightly snooty masks and can fit with many cosmetics / hairs well

Also the design is reminiscent of the soap opera masks in a way

[rich silo]

the deer mask does currently pair with the feast horns nicely too

[digital turret]

Because birds naturally look different? Majority of deers look the same..? Again they’ve designed the nine coloured deer beautifully, i don’t see why they couldn’t turn that into mask form

[rich silo]

I introduce you to Chevrotain

[lavish matrix]

It's nice to have a variety of animal mask shapes

[digital turret]

That beauty still looks better than this mask though 😂

[rich silo]

well either way it's all subjective end of day
just feedback away~

[digital turret]

It’s all down to preference i guess yep i have already sent my feedback

[rich silo]

I'm more of a yay two cakes kind of person

[digital turret]

I have a sneaky suspicion that they will provide the mask i was expecting but as an iap instead

[rich silo]

they've never really doubled on the exact same cosmetic for collabs though, least not for IAP

[lavish matrix]

Perhaps! But it's beta so things aren't set in stone

[digital turret]

Hmm I’d disagree, the translucent iap cape from the last collab looked very similar to the pass capes

[lavish matrix]

where is the similarity

[rich silo]

also please turn off ping when replying since it's just us speaking

[digital turret]

The feathered shoulders, the translucency, the design.

[rich silo]

my argument is that the transparency was tied specifically to being paid only, because the only other items so far that are sparkly + transparent have always been paid for

[digital turret]

My apologies

Oops i am out of touch the pass capes weren’t translucent were they? 😂

[rich silo]

nope XD
you are correct that they follow a similar construction with feathered shoulders and the long rectangular cape form though! but the transparency is what made the difference

[lavish matrix]

There aren't any feathers, they're mostly fabrics and the guides cape may have the same type of transparency but overall its very different as it is based on the wispy sashes commonly seen in eastern mythologies

[rich silo]

so a transparent looking sparkly deer mask would be veeeery weird

[digital turret]

I’m not referring to this season, we’re speaking about the last collab.

[lavish matrix]

ohhh my bad hahaha xD

[digital turret]

Haha i’m just hoping we get a replica of the nine coloured deer as a mask, for all the players who missed out on gratitude. And all the gratitude ult owners like myself who’d like a refresh

[rich silo]

I'm just here like the deer-looking mask is IGC so that's a W for f2p lol
it's great for everyone

it's not like it's an ult to begin with you don't need to pay money for it

[lavish matrix]

trueee, I feel tgc is trying out different things for the same concept :o I think separate antlers would be a neat idea like can pair up with any masks

Still it's a big big win for f2p, a deer mask for free if it does end up that way in live

[rich silo]

like if you had to pay for the deer mask sure it is your money you're spending but the thing probably costs 50-150 candles or something like hey I didn't have to spend money for that XD

[digital turret]

That’s very true, it’s definitely very inclusive, okay i’m going to backtrack on my feedback, the mask can stay as it is, i just need an extra replica 😂

[lavish matrix]

I would still pay money for the pass because gosh those cosmetics are a massive hit

tgc has outdone themselves on the designs

Personally it's much better than Rhythm ult 2.0 as Performance Guide 's hair, in a way they're both similar looking but both are pass locked x'D so not a lot of people can have the chance

[spiral lodge]

The SoMural having facial features will take a while to get used to

[final knoll]

did anyone else notice bumbling boatswain in one of the spirits memories?😭😭 what is he doing hereee

[spiral lodge]

YEA 💀💀 Lmaoo

[uncut ginkgo]

We still can’t buy anything from the seasonal spirits right?

[rich silo]

oh yeah that guy 100% stole from the headwrap dude

[late magnet]

Will the deer's antler be part of the pass or will it be paid separately?

[spiral lodge]

Apparently the villagers emote is a whistle 💀 it took me so long to figure out because there’s no sound

[sly bay]

Hi everyone today I just start play and come back sky beta , I play alone , does anyone wanna be friends ? 🥹😭

[shadow oak]

While I like the idea of antlers and mask being separate, they both need to be free for it to be logical. We don't know how it'll be but we can write feedback on this

[rich silo]

ask in #beta-looking-for-group

[sly bay]

owkie thank you 🥳🥳

[rich silo]

it doesn't exist in beta so who knows
if you saw anything otherwise it's illegitimate and should be reported to Stellify in dms

[rich silo]

it's not the first time they've separately IAP'd two halves of an outfit though
during mischief 2022 cat hair was igc but mask + cape were IAP bundle and they're meant to go together

I think if it was added it'd be IAP tbh

[shadow oak]

sadly it's probable but we can still submit feedback on it if it will be so. I'd rather pay for both and have something else for free tbh

[hushed isle]

Does anyone know where to buy the season items? I can’t find it

[rich silo]

did you read #beta-announcements

⚠️ The new season constellation isn’t active, so cosmetics shouldn’t be unlockable yet. However, you should be able to preview them in your closets.

[wanton niche]

how many spirits are there? i found 4

[bright raft]

Where can anyone see the seasonal constellations? 👁️👄👁️

[somber oyster]

Look just two messages above or in #beta-known-issues

[orchid knot]

Oh the guide is back to rotating to each daily realm

[somber oyster]

SAME BRAINCELL BUBBA I JUST SAID THE SAME IN ANOTHER SERVER

[worn plaza]

his many spirits have you guys found so far? i’ve found four but seeing the size of this new area i can’t help but feel like there’s more

nvm just saw the previous message

[orchid knot]

krill really take no prisoners in this valley 😭

[rich silo]

Maybe because people feedbacked that it was too confusing (it's also great to have the guide show which realm has the dailies in tbh)

[shadow oak]

anyone else wish the capes were of more various colors? Overall designs are great but 3 of 4 are yellow, my literally least favorite color

[rich silo]

Probably just wait for another season tbh
Not everything will always match your taste
Rn the items are very thematically coloured with the seasonal area to me

[orchid knot]

nine coloured deer wasteland run when? I could do with them shooing all the krill away

[shadow oak]

I found all 4 spirits, the one with catching net was a bit unintuitive to find
Not hard tho
just took a bit of overall exploring, stumbled upon him when searching for a high spot to look over the map

[finite anchor]

100 candles for a flower accessory?? 💀

[worn plaza]

i think the nine colored dear should have just let the villager drown

[orchid knot]

I lost the manta

[willow eagle]

another ordinary collab season pricing make the flower cost 50 - 80 candles would have been more reasonable imo

[silent wharf]

And it's not even very noticeable on your hair

[snow hornet]

collab or not 100 candles is wild

[shadow oak]

Yeah like why give a part of your magic for some random person? I understand self sacrificial but if you have a limited resource then choose wisely who's worthy of it 😭

[finite anchor]

wasn't the cure for me mask 50 candles 😭

[somber gate]

They do when the villager betrays them

[blissful grove]

Are we getting double hearts after the season or the season update? I see '+2' added on heart numbers 👀

[shadow oak]

Tho it happens often with people who are very lonely
Well and lonely deers too I guess
Easy to trust some two-faced waste when you have no one and they are just there

[prime umbra]

yo

[willow eagle]

in the 1981 movie the deer didn't even gave up any of it power, it just save the villager and then walk away lol

[finite anchor]

fr the fact that it's a collab item doesn't justify a 100 candles price imo, especially for a small accessory

[bright raft]

Thank

[noble stag]

it's almost like the price might be a placeholder

[somber gate]

No. Everything is always set in stone in beta.

[finite anchor]

that's good to know tlp sword pants made me anticipate the worst

[pastel breach]

lol yeah probably is a placeholder

[somber oyster]

Welcome to beta, where everything is final and nothing will change!

Just like the first version of the passage masks, they also stayed 999 candles!!

[pastel breach]

also this is the first season build

[orchid knot]

manifesting lower placeholder prices

[noble stag]

increase it by 50, noted

[orchid knot]

WHAT DID I DOOOOO

Oh hey look if we get the flower the size of the one in the third quest saving the villager then 150 candles is a steal that thing is huge!!!

[pastel breach]

why there are so many items only aviable whit season pass?

[somber oyster]

All in beta is WIP, things might get shuffled around

[pastel breach]

i hope so

[noble stag]

placeholders, and not all items are enabled. we typically shuffle things around a few times over the course of testing

[orchid knot]

Villager didn't pass the vibe check

[whole plinth]

Before :oh no the villager!
After: let the honk honking SINK

[orchid knot]

Okay but like hear me out, I could totally just scrub the mural away and redraw the villager being a good guy and not going to tell the king and queen about the deer, someone hand me paint

[forest glen]

Home stone infront of gates in avairy doesn't recharge energy.

[spiral lodge]

I hope the villagers fate is the same as the animatic 😈😈

[orchid knot]

God I really hope the deer doesn't die in the end, that's my emotional support deer

[whole plinth]

Naw let the villager DROWN

[orchid knot]

that's not very 3 core values of sky of you

[spiral lodge]

There are some exceptions 🥰

[forest glen]

I skipped the first quest. I warped direct from spirit to the new seasons area. And dmsolved the first quest. I don't had to go trought the dark plants and krill area.

[whole plinth]

Bro betrayed every single on of us tho so villager can drown

[shadow oak]

simply make a blood sacrifice for the sake of the deer, or well, drown sacrifice

[orchid knot]

Chat got dark suddenly, mum (deer) come pick me up I'm scared

[spiral lodge]

At least in the animatic, the villager had like 2 mins of “no I will not tell” before he actually told them 💀

[shadow oak]

I's not dark if it's for the sake of love and care 💯

[willow eagle]

waiting for karma to enact any moment now

[orchid knot]

HELP THE HEADBANG EMOTE WAS USED TO PLACEHOLD THE BUFF EMOTE 😭

[woven hill]

@shadow oak ||you literally have mask from the last quest on, its not obitainable in the regular beta||

[shadow oak]

um you know that you can preview costumes in Aviary shop right?
as long as it's in the wardrobe you can put it on

[woven hill]

And you cannot walk with them

[shadow oak]

yes you can but only in the shop. Try it

[woven hill]

Ok, bet

[spiral lodge]

In the aviary shop, you can preview and walk around until you leave the shop!

[shadow oak]

That's literally the only reason why shop has a use bc trying stuff on in the old wardrobe is otherwise way faster

[woven hill]

Weird that i have never seen this feature before

[white vale]

Help- I can’t find the last spirit lmaooo where is this king guy 😭😂

[shadow oak]

somewhere on the temple steps to the side

[willow eagle]

they're on the left of the palace/temple entrance

[orchid knot]

why is the queen's bedroom a dungeon

OMG ROTISSERIE CHICKEN EMOTE

[shadow oak]

and her hobby seem so be levitating
and we saw her carrying the king
she is very very normal

[orchid knot]

oh no her emote is rotisserie chicken and she wants the king to catch her the deer.... DON'T ROTISSERIE MY DAD

[spiral lodge]

The queen is able to carry the king back inside the castle and ascend from her body most normal

[lime wraith]

Current season theory: the deer is another being of light

Megabird got sick of seeing skykids ask 'boy or girl' and sent someone else to finish the job 😭

Cant blame the king for wanting to catch the deer, eating just crabs, mantas and skykids must be boring after a while

[pastel breach]

i think deer is megabird like aurora is megabird like tlp is megabird

[spiral lodge]

AND SKYKIDS????

[lime wraith]

so they said
'Fine I'll do it myself' 😭

[pastel breach]

true

[lime wraith]

the queens soul left her body 😭

[spiral lodge]

Good thing 9CDeer won’t make us go to Eden, right…?🤡🤡

[lime wraith]

🦌🏳️‍🌈 :YOUR WINGED LIGHT MEANS NOTHING
YOU SHOULD SOLO EDEN NOW.
*Lightning strike*

[warm verge]

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-low-tier-god-yskysn-ltg-thunder-thunder-gif-23523876

[sterile girder]

TBH the queen is the one that is named the spirit of mural, the "queen" or spirit that you're talking about doesnt look like a queen to me, it looks more of a princess. If you watched the film you may know!

[lime wraith]

if you watched the film you may know
gamer i didnt know what a 9 coloured deer was until abt 3 hours ago

I apologise for not having the same niche film taste as you

[spiral lodge]

Wasn’t she the empress tho?

[lime wraith]

Wait so the guy who justed pinged me

correcting me abt a film I've had no interest in, and still have no interest in outside of sky

could be wrong?

[spiral lodge]

Maybe? I watched it a few weeks ago. I think she said like “if you don’t get the deer you don’t love me/you don’t love your wife” or smth I forgor💀

[tranquil flume]

Just can't get past this instant OOB yeet at the opening cutscene

[spiral lodge]

Go through the collab room, you don’t get yeeted the.

[lime wraith]

It doesnt really matter, I'm just more mildly annoyed at the guy pinging me to correct me. Just for them to possibly be wrong

[rich silo]

she was also extremely dramatic like “I will end myself in 3 days if I don’t get this”

[spiral lodge]

Yeah I didn’t wanna say that here 💀

[lime wraith]

if the mods krill you for discussing the source material for a crossover thats a huge red flag 💀

[spiral lodge]

But table! You should watch it, I believe it was around 30 mins and is quite entertaining 🤡🤡

[lime wraith]

I like the new sand texture lowkey

[spiral lodge]

As someone who was on a sugar high when I watched it

I agree 👍👍

[somber oyster]

I think discussing the movie if it relates to the quests is okay, as long as it aligns with the rules of the server (so family friendly, all ages)

[lime wraith]

The new area is pretty neat
having a hard time finding spirit 4 tho

nvm think i found em

nvm it was a deliberately misleading looking hole

[sour viper]

Isn’t the architecture supposed to be Chinese? It doesn’t feel Chinese to me or do I just not know China?

[uncut ginkgo]

I feel like the new season so out of place because the design is very different from the usual sky building and cosmetics. It's interesting tho, something new.

[gilded stump]

May i know the spirit locations (except headbob)

[gleaming jackal]

any android beta tester here that can access the game at this very time?

[lime wraith]

tbh im a fan of the expansion of one off 'realms' like this

and I hope that future seasons create enviroments as unique as this

[vivid gulch]

Totally not me over here being a animal anatomy nut (this includes deer) and absolutely loving the deers animation especially the running

[vivid gulch]

One is near the castle entrance to the left, one in a back room behind the throne in the castle, and one is right on the land above the mural where the guide is)

[orchid knot]

It’s better to look yourself and not give so much advice here though, tgc need feedback about genuine efforts in finding stuff during testing so they know how easy or difficult things are for live playerbase without guides (since not everyone is in skycord) #beta-announcements

[gilded stump]

#beta-screenshots-videos message

[sterile girder]

If you thought that I was mean to you I wasn’t. I just said that if you watched it you may know. I wasn’t rude if you thought of that.

And it is not my niche taste of films, 😭 I just know the legend and stumbled upon this film a long time ago.

[shy rock]

The season intro won't load for my friend no matter what. We went through every single realm, did Eden, set Home as the default, went through every realm again...

[dusky orchid]

The story is originally based on Persia I believe? But I could be wrong

[shy rock]

Does anyone know what the stimulus is for the season to activate? I got the season intro instantly, whereas my friend can't see it at all.

[orchid knot]

usually like reach valley for seasons to activate but if they already did all that I’d suggest bug reporting

[rich silo]

update the game to latest version really

[shy rock]

They're in the same version as me (latest one). I have access to the season and they don't...

[rich silo]

bug report time

[red moon]

How do I buy the new season outfits?

[uncut ginkgo]

Guys how to buy the seasonal cosmetics, I don't have the constellation

[orchid knot]

Please read #beta-announcements you guys 😭

[sterile girder]

It’s not available yet

[karmic silo]

hi wafo chat what are the new emotes from deer season ?

[summer forge]

Did they claim their season pass? :0 idk if that triggers anything (or if there’s a connection) but I didn’t see the new season cutscene at aviary home until after I claimed mine from the shop

[solar lark]

Where are my fortune tickets

[shy rock]

Aw geez I gifted a pass to her... I hope that doesn't affect anything!

[digital turret]

Ask her to try clicking on the shop icon, does the free pass show for them?

Anyone else think that the oasis and the temple /village are way too close, feels like there should be a little more distance between the two. Also hoping the next iterations of the oasis are amazing, tall grasses and plants that could easily hide the deer and more trees

[crisp cedar]

For those who have completed the first quest and are familiar with the story of the nine coloured deer, how did you find it?

[digital turret]

I really liked the part when she saved us from the krill, it almost looked like she had vaporised it. I got a bit too excited at that part. I like how they’ve incorporated us and sky creatures into the story

[orchid knot]

pretty sure it shouldn’t matter if you get the pass or not, I got the season cutscene before buying the pass

[rich silo]

Tbh the more interesting stuff comes in quest 3 because that's where the actual core of the story got cut down to what's in sky
Quest 1 was a good way to introduce the deer's powers of protecting
Instead of them protecting the travellers in the movie in the first part, they help us
The whole crescent = depleting power thing wasn't a thing in the movie at all
It was strange to see the deer transfer the crescent over

[uncut ginkgo]

How do you buy stuff from spirits?

[fervent crest]

I found a remote place in the new map, but I don't know how to get there #beta-screenshots-videos message

[digital turret]

The TREE!

[rigid gull]

How are yall playing rn my game keeps crashing whenevr i open the app?

[fervent crest]

I also discovered that there is a hole at the bottom of Crescent Lake. Enter it and you will be washed by the powerful current to the village's waterfall outlet.

[crisp cedar]

Thanks Cy! I won't be able to do any of the quests till I get home from work, but I was wondering if I should watch the movie first before playing or not. I think I will and then do the quests. Hopefully none of the future ones involve Eden

[blissful grove]

Yesterday, I saw the season guide in front of the prairie door. Today, he/she/it is in front of the forest door 😬

[dusky orchid]

I’m hoping the spirit guides outfit and cape won’t be IAP, they’re so pretty! The deer mask and antlers feel very ultimate reward-y to me idk 🤷

[lapis girder]

Yes, it rotates every day - Though i thought it changed since moments season

[lapis girder]

Which antlers?

[dusky orchid]

There are deer of nine color antlers no? Maybe I’m seeing things lol I swear I saw them in a screenshot on someone’s sky kid

[lapis girder]

Not in this build, no - some players have been suggesting it with > edits on #beta-screenshots-videos however

[hollow idol]

Hi can anyone show me the warrior’s hair and Anubis mask wearing together? Cause I don’t have the mask in beta

[dusky orchid]

Ah I see that’s what it was. Anyways I’m hoping we get really good ultimates and it doesn’t all end up IAP

[lapis girder]

Beta testers don’t honor outfits requests, sorry

[hollow idol]

@lapis girder I know but I just wanna see it

[sour viper]

I would honour it but I don’t have crap in beta

[lapis girder]

Please see #beta-screenshots-videos pinned messages - Beta is not meant for looking for sneak-peeks. Once content is live, you can ask in #outfit-requests channel

[whole shard]

I’m just here for the new music

I’m a big fan of the new season, except for the location being in the middle of nowhere. It would be much cooler for there to be an actual connection to the world of Sky.

[gentle spindle]

anyone else think the deer would have been a perfect chance for another halo mask 👀

[pastel cove]

A rainbow halo for the deers colors

I don't know the story at all, but with a name like "nine colored" and the minor rainbow-y details on its flank, it would be cool. It could also help for some more color on the skykids heads since hair is always white

[orchid void]

nooo cuz then the mask will definitely be season pass only 😭

[somber gate]

I never wear Anubis mask because the halo is so bright and annoying

[topaz gyro]

Give it to me, you don't need it

[crisp tendon]

i find it so hard to make my anubis mask look good with outfits loll

[willow eagle]

In the movie the deer actually has rainbow halo btw. It only show up a couple of times so this is a pretty cool idea

[whole shard]

Tbh, I can see this being in Wasteland or Isle

It’s not like the seasonal areas have to correspond perfectly to the realms (look at Wind Paths), so long as there’s a general vibe

[fading canopy]

I decided to look up the story of the Nine Colored Dear, the story we are experiencing is a extention of the original story (aka the movie) which is really cool

[whole shard]

It’s much better than this random palace in the middle of nowhere, it wouldn’t be hard to make a spirit gate somewhere

I wonder what a map shrine of this area would look like?

[fervent crest]

Can I send a link to the original movie of Nine Colored Deer here? I found its official website👀

[gentle spindle]

yeah it’d be accurate 😳 (and also i forever regret not getting the anubis mask LMAO)

[somber oyster]

To be 100% sure, I’d send a message asking this in #contact-the-mods

[whole shard]

It would be much better if the area connected to the world of Sky (especially because other season spirits appear), rather than only be accessible through some lore-breaking collab area.

I worry that they’ll use the collab area as an excuse to put new locations in random spots

[somber oyster]

We don’t know if this is definitive yet though Baud! (The collab room is, but TLP is still accessible through WP)

[fading canopy]

Season of Aurora is accessible in 2 ways (the collab area & the coliseum I hope I spelled that right) soooo maybe this season will be as well? Because of the sand I believe it will be like Abyss & Enchantment, accessible through GW... some how XD or maybe Isle of Dawn??

[somber gate]

WP?

[somber oyster]

Windpaths!

[fervent crest]

Can I send you a DM about the official viewing address of Nine Colored Deer? If TGC allows, you can send it to everyone~

[somber gate]

oh, duh me

but to tie into Baudshaw's comment: I believe the collabs will generally be outside of the Sky world anyway, simply because they will always be using real world assets due to being...well, collabs

[somber oyster]

I really like reliving the spirits and watching the movie is definitely recommended

[whole shard]

The dialogue in the season is interesting. The text is quite bigger than the normal narration.

||Also, side note- why do the characters have “he” as the pronoun? It’s weird, since most spirits are referred to as they in game||

[lilac briar]

We are able to buy the cosmetics right? I wasn’t able to explore much yet

[willow eagle]

I’m gonna bet on GW, it was called Golden so the new seasonal map does kinda make sense to be in there

[green cave]

not yet

[somber oyster]

Ooooh I’m not a moderator, so I can’t make that decision! Feel free to send a message in #contact-the-mods though!!!

[somber gate]

The "he" could be a placeholder or intended? Maybe feedback on that, if you feel it should be more neutral
The dialogue text is similar to Aurora, isn't it?

[lilac briar]

That sucks, well anyways the first quest was fun. And I just saw that there’s a flower available after you do the second quest and I think it’s permanent for now

[somber oyster]

It has a placeholder price btw! It’s 100 candles now, but Ktjn confirmed that’s a placeholder

[green cave]

I believe it’s because the characters are referred to as King and Queen, so there will be he and she pronouns

in any other season they would just be Monarchs or something like that

[somber gate]

I should add that the gendered pronouns didn't bother me, because I assumed it was caused by the original story's character genders

[whole shard]

If the deer was the first collab season, then maybe.

But we already have the Little Prince and Aurora. Both of them have quests that send you around the Sky world and are directly tied (especially Aurora) to the world and story of Sky.

And it’s not as if Deer breaks anything in the world of Sky. New biomes have been put into existing realms- there’s a reef in Wasteland, a mountain valley in Prairie, and a desert in Vault

[willow eagle]

I guess it’s similar to TLP spirits having “he” pronoun. I can’t remember which spirits have the pronoun but if we take the 1981 movie as the source material; the deer announce itself as the king of deer. I just think it’s a fun fact

[whole shard]

Perhaps, but keep in mind the Little Prince spirits also use neutral pronouns, except when they directly quote the book

There’s no need to break the consistency

[somber oyster]

Im mesmerised by the area, so much ground to cover and I particularly liked the second quest. I’ve been wanting more quests where we interact more with the creatures in Sky, so this one fit in really well

[green cave]

the new area is so good, if they’re going to tie it to anywhere else in sky I see it being on Valley

[somber gate]

I don't remember if they always did, though. So it might indeed be worth feedbacking on that to keep it more in line with other stories in Sky

[somber oyster]

That’s valid though! I didn’t notice at first, but that’s a good point. Gonna head to feedback with that

[whole shard]

is it a good idea to refer to the new season as NCD?

[willow eagle]

That sound like pop band name to me for some reason lol

[green cave]

Big area with candles and new winged lights feels like a dream

[whole shard]

The first collab was a book, the second was an artist, the third was a real life mythology

I think it’s over for ghibli

[fervent crest]

Speaking of Ghibli, I wonder when Sky can collaborate with Ghibli
||Laputa, the Castle in the Sky, appears in the sky||

[somber gate]

or why

[uncut ginkgo]

This is how I felt about Starlight desert and Treasure Reef. I'm praying that TGC have learned their lesson with giving us a seasonal area and then just leaving it there without any significant updates to said area or a reason to visit them

[somber oyster]

Oh I’m a bit confused. I actually really like this seasonal area, as I do for Treasure Reef and Starlight Desert!

I don’t mind some areas being a little bit more “deserted”, because it feels like a break from CR

[whole shard]

Starlight Desert is already one of the more popular areas, even with no wax

Treasure Reef… yeah, the land portion is a bit small, but the music is nice!

[winter nexus]

There's finally water we can dive in and explore 🎉

[whole shard]

Is there any new music?

[orchid void]

this is such a minor gripe but does anyone else feel like "nine colored deer" is a little clunky? "deer of nine colors" flows a little better and its one of the official translations of the film title, right?

[whole shard]

NCD vs DNC for the abbreviation

[orchid void]

DoNC... donk sound lol

[whole shard]

Or just call it deer season

[orchid void]

season of the deer king!

[crisp tendon]

the name definitely surprised me at first, it feels so much longer than all the other seasons’ names lol; i don’t really mind, it feels very similar to little prince
i’ll definitely just be calling it deer season though

[winter nexus]

the palette for thee new area is gorgeous damn

kinda reminiscent of Journey a bit lol

[sweet tulip]

I'm probably gonna buy the season pass once it comes to live sky, it's just so amazing

[limber nacelle]

Did you guys notice with the carry spirit they were being carried bridal style? Am I the only one noticing this?

[whole shard]

That would be bizarre for Skykids to do

[crisp tendon]

i was gonna come in here and ask if we think there’ll be a way to get to this area other than through the new vault collab season space(?) but i kind of answered that question myself- probably not, since there isn’t a “natural” way to get to the LP area now either (if this makes sense)

kind of disagree with the decision (i like being able to go right into the area naturally) but it’s a very small thing- and it makes me wonder a little bit which realm this season is supposed to take place in?

[limber nacelle]

It's not out of the question. If Sky kids can carry 7 other Sky kids on their back, imagine this.

[orchid void]

i think theyre really going for this not being connected to the wider sky world imo, hence the unnatural way of getting to the area. especially if none of the quests are going to take us outside of the seasonal area like the previous collabs did

[whole shard]

You can get to Starlight Desert using the Wind Paths!

But I think they’ll change it in future builds, I can see it being in Isle (sunny desert), Valley (red and mountainous), or Wasteland (lots of dark creatures)

All of them could fit

[fervent crest]

<Nine-Colored Deer>is the official translation of the Movie

[dull gust]

Hello. Am I the only one that can't access the first quest? I fall down, in the water, outside the map. I tried from Aviary and from regular home space but nothing.

[whole shard]

Then why is there bumbling boatswain, base game spirits, krills, crabs, and mantas?

It’s not like it’s the weirdest location in Sky

[orchid void]

huh, ive seen it both ways all over the web :0

[dense matrix]

I had this issue try entering through meditating by the deer picture in vault that fixed it for me

[orchid void]

i feel like boatswain's gotta be a placeholder at the moment, and they arent gonna make a bunch of new animal models just for one season tbh. even the seasonal spirits have weird faces that arent like the rest of the sky spirits (which tbh i hope they do change those back to normal spirit faces, the empty doll eyes scare me a little )

[dull gust]

Thank you! I'll try this

[crisp tendon]

just in response to the first part; i did know that, i was talking more about being able to get to the area directly through one portal, instead of having to go into another space first (the wind paths, or the new vault room)- sorry if this doesnt make any sense

[whole shard]

Also, keep in mind having it be meditation only without any exit will be extremely annoying for groups traveling to the area

[orchid void]

ohhh true, i do hope they change that

[prime umbra]

Villager emote looks like a whispering-to-someone-ear emote

[dense matrix]

Eventually we may get direct access but I presume it will be after the first quest at least since you have to exit that valley before being able to even TP to friends there

[sour viper]

The princess carry emote is just promoting online relationships /j

[crisp tendon]

also one more thing while it’s still on my mind, do you guys think the season guide’s name will change? “spirit of mural” sounds really weird to me 😭 but i figured if it was a placeholder name it’d just be a bit of gibberish or something

[sour viper]

I think if they just added ‘the’ it would be way cooler “spirit of the mural”

[orchid void]

or even just "mural spirit"

[prime umbra]

WAIT THE FLIPPING MINUTE

[crisp tendon]

true, that makes it a lot better but it still sounds just a bit off to me- do we have any spirits with “spirit” in their name? (genuinely asking i don’t remember)

[willow eagle]

I don’t think we have any spirit like that

[prime umbra]

GUYS, THE KING SPIRIT CARRIES THE PRINCESS SPIRITS, POSSIBLY THATS HTE NEW FRIENDSHIP INTERACTION??

[sour viper]

Princess Carries the king and I’m pretty sure that’s the emote (also is she a princess or a queen? I thought she was a queen)

[orchid void]

isnt it the king being carried? which is very cute imo

[prime umbra]

WAIT WHAT DID I SAW THAT WRONG LMAO

[sterile harness]

She is a queen, yes

[prime umbra]

i have no idea anymore, not sure if thats the queen of the princess

ah yes its queen then

[willow eagle]

I was expecting the empress to get carried but that was a pleasant surprise lol.

[prime umbra]

imagine carrying your love one like that on sky 😍

[lilac briar]

I was not expecting this update today lol

[sour viper]

They have such a cute relationship she carries him and he comforts her after being visited by the deer

[prime umbra]

the queen looks greedy in the film

[sour viper]

I don’t think they are good ppl but they are good partners and def in love

[orchid void]

we can have one (1) loving villain couple as a treat

[sour viper]

Can we agree that collab season are just on top?

[prime umbra]

tgc pls i need that new carry interaction nowwww

[prime umbra]

the 7D has a villain couple

i can tell no one know what that show is

[dull gust]

It worked!! Finally. Thank you so much

[lofty crypt]

Personally as much as I like the crescent oasis rn, the lighting seems a bit too... bland. And there's barely any spots to recharge in the huge desert. I'd honestly prefer if the desert had like... a partial sunset to it.

[willow eagle]

I wonder if TGC also took reference of the book and tales version of Nine color deer. Since their design are drastically different from the movie

[prime umbra]

also not sure if the team rocket count as the villain couple

[sour viper]

THEY DO (I thought they were siblings at first)

[sterile harness]

This is the first build, so all of that could be subject to change. That said, #beta-feedback so the devs see it

[orchid void]

i put in feedback that i hope they add even more color stripes to the cliff, it'd be really cool if we could get a sky version of the Zhangye Danxia rainbow mountains (if you havent seen those please look them up, you won't be disappointed)

[shy rock]

I would love if it had that wavey effect that shows thermal energy

[fervent crest]

It is possible that TGC adapted it based on sky's background, per hats TGC directly referenced the murals in Dunhuang during the Northern Wei Dynasty in China (AD 386-534) {🧐

[sterile harness]

⬆️ Just looked it up, I second this

[prime umbra]

cant wait to carry-your-friend-like-a-baby emote when the new emotes are fixed

[sour viper]

Ask tgc to collab with me I promise you the most beautiful Arab inspired season

[somber oyster]

Enchantment definitely has Arab influences. It’s one of my favourites

[barren solar]

Which spirit has the mask with the diamond on the forehead? Assuming it's the queen but can't get a close enough look

[sour viper]

It had but it wasn’t really that much. It was kinda:
Desert ✔️
Face cover ✔️
Turban ✔️
Market ✔️
Non of the outfits really gave off the arab vibe

[orchid void]

yeaahh enchantment was definitely super vague "its the desert" vibes

[sour viper]

Like Hollywood version of Arabia

[somber oyster]

The embroidering definitely was though, I don’t think it was “Hollywood version” of anything but regardless if you’d like a collab then #wishlist-and-ideas-archived is a good place!

[orchid void]

you've got the whole 1001 nights series of tales right there for inspo tgc~

[prime umbra]

why not sky x MIXUE

[sour viper]

Ehhhh, idk, as an Arab I could tell it was meant to be inspired but I also wasn’t 100% where they were getting these ideas. Nothing specific from any arab country. Grated it was 2020 but I felt robbed

[orchid void]

yeaahhh the enchantment embroidery was kinda just 1 very simple pattern that doesnt really give any specific cultural vibes... there's so many gorgeous middle eastern embroidery styles they could've taken inspiration from instead

[fringe marten]

I was about to immerse into the new season opening cutscene and then got jumpscared by wing losing noises
... and I really lost 3 wl

[sour viper]

ME TOO I WANTED TO LOG OUT WHEN I WAS HIT BY KRILL

[limber nacelle]

You're not the only one. I lost the same amount too.

[fringe marten]

not sure if that's what it's supposed to do or not
I hope it's not

[tulip veldt]

I think after the hat kerfluffe it’s probably a good idea for fantasy world designs to not lean too hard on real world designs

[orchid void]

they did warn us in the doot notes that you might die in the opening

[lavish matrix]

That note is the most ominous sounding hahah

[whole shard]

The hat kerfluffle was probably done out of boredom, a large amount of modern seasons have real world inspirations

[orchid void]

they didn't get that memo with this season though these spirits are very based on irl cultural/folklore outfits

[fringe marten]

I can see what they're going for but I skip the cutscene right away when hearing that

[tulip veldt]

Inspired by yea but not like exact same as

[whole shard]

Look at Assembly, Flight, Abyss, Remembrance, Passage, Moments…

They’re not exact copies, but there are clear influences

[sour viper]

If you’re gonna make it fantasy at least make it look good

[somber oyster]

That’s true, but Enchantment wasn’t meant to be inspired by one culture exclusively. I do think that it fits just perfectly in Sky and there are definitely some influences there and I really enjoy the representation (although not complete, but yk!)

Forgot to reply 😭

[orchid void]

you could argue the same thing about the hat tho. that it's "inspired by"

[lavish matrix]

the designs are gorgeous and well done though as an Asian I'm loving these. Think they're well done and even blew my hat off

[sour viper]

Then I stand correct! ARAB SEASON WHEN? /lh

[tulip veldt]

I think as we’re going along designs are getting more complex than they were

[somber oyster]

I reslly do like the designs of the cosmetics already, ahhh! However I sent some bug reports for the clipping, but another headscarf is sooo nice (hopefully it’s IGC)

[fringe marten]

I was very surprised when I see the cape
the one from guide

[orchid void]

everyone should shoosh about fun oobs before they get patched out and made inaccessible forever 💦

[twilit rose]

Oh right..

[somber oyster]

Hhahahah, probably will anyway

[whole shard]

#lore-discussion-spoilers message

You’re right, Enchantment does use clothes from multiple cultures, and some I couldn’t find any information on

[orchid void]

i still miss the cool moments ones

[twilit rose]

Anyway, how was the new season for everyone so far..?

[willow eagle]

pretty cool

[bleak mural]

10/10

[somber oyster]

Can’t wait for the bridal carry (not confirmed just speculation )

[bleak mural]

my biggest criticism is the placement of one WL really

[fringe marten]

I'll give it... 4/10 for now, since full story is not out yet
Could be better if you don't lose wl during cutscenes (or at least put a warning)

[twilit rose]

Glad ya'll like it. For me, personally, is an 8/10. Seems a little... bland... could use a little bit more.... decorations and stuff...

[orchid void]

7/10 for now, area toooo big and empty otherwise cool! i like the cinematic opening quest

[fringe marten]

Maybe it's like Aurora/Revival, area getting more lively as you progress

[bleak mural]

I don't think more decorations, whether in or out of the village, would make a lot of sense for a mesa/plateau!

[fringe marten]

I forgot I'm playing Sky and was thinking "How do I bring Jellyfish out of water they would just dried up"

[static oxide]

Hey no. If you can't do it all, then don't do it at all.

[shadow oak]

For me, it's kinda "beautiful as a picture but feels empty when up close". To be fair, it was the same with Aviary when it started, so I have faith more or less. But for example Prairie Peaks still feel a bit empty so idk where on the spectrum it will land

[uncut ginkgo]

Is princess carry not yet available on friendship node?

[twilit rose]

I don't know whether you know about that internet MEME or not but... ok

[bleak mural]

it crashes the game when you try using it

[fringe marten]

The Nine Colored Deer is solid oh my gosh
They're not spirit

... probably rock cause it makes the bonk sound when Sky Kid hit a wall or something

[static oxide]

I do, which is why I'm telling you to not scare out...

[blissful grove]

I'm always the last.. finally found out all 4 spirits till now😬😪

[static oxide]

I hope the deer mask gets actual horns. That's a big thing I wanna see

[winged ore]

Is this season going to have DunHuang inspired elements?? I havent logged in yet

[fringe marten]

I'm not very familiar with the theme/culture/myth surrounding this season so I'm not able to tell

[somber oyster]

I'm really surprised by how polished everything is already! I really hope the yellow capes stay the way they are, so beautiful

[somber oyster]

I hiiiiighly suggest watching the movie, which is available on YouTube. The quests and storyline will make way more sense

[fringe marten]

The deer is very well modeled and animated too, feels exactly like how a real deer acts 🦌

[winged ore]

https://images.app.goo.gl/nJtqWX2MHrSkgvjb9
https://images.app.goo.gl/mqZrZWEXFTRWgohR7
Basically like this

If you dont wanna watch the movie you can just search the mythology up.

In simple terms, a merchant was saved by a nine colored deer. But he was ungrateful and told the ruler. The empress heard about it and want his fur for her clothing. They went to hunt it and the deer is very angry with the ungrateful merchant and drowns him. in conclusion, the emperor decide to forbid hunting the deer

watching Nastymold's video. Fun fact: The Cresent Oasis exist irl in DunHuang

It's probably have some reference to the Silk Road since DunHuang is located in a very important location on the Silk Road

[cobalt solstice]

Anyone else see boat guy ... What's he doing in the desert lol 😆 #beta-screenshots-videos message

[glacial raven]

probably a placeholder ◀️

[winged ore]

he's a merchant now?

He's a silk roa merchant now

[whole silo]

Is the season out yet I'm so out of the loop guys 😭 I wanna buy when this comes out the stuff looks amazing

this season might get me back into the game

[tidal willow]

we are currently testing it yeah, but can't buy cosmetics atm

[cobalt solstice]

I hope he stays though because then we have some more sky lore. Maybe this story is why he left and went on a boat !? Oooh

[somber oyster]

#beta-announcements

[whole silo]

That doesn't tell me when 😭

[fringe marten]

It's beta testing now! Though no one know when it'll be live

[tidal willow]

we dont know when it's coming out live, we are only beta testers

[pastel breach]

i love the vibe of the seasonal area. is so dreamlike for me

[whole silo]

Oh okay. Sorry I haven't played beta or live in months😭

[cobalt solstice]

Skybot might come and bonk us lol

[pastel breach]

[whole silo]

just panicked cause I don't wanna miss buying this day 1

that purple sparkle cape........

[tidal willow]

that's gonne be on days of love
most of the stuff we are testing right now will be coming next year so you have time

[winged ore]

OMG I just saw the pants. Sky is finally giving the Chinese hanfu pants I always wanted. The round collar robe and the DunHuang style outfits aaaaah

im getting way to excited

[cobalt solstice]

Things could change since it's beta so don't be too attached to anything yet

[winged ore]

true. hope any changes are good changes

[fringe marten]

They look very promising
I'm not into this style but they do look good

[vale temple]

People just waking up and shouting doot and confusing people who got the season drop 8 hrs ago is so funny to me

[winged ore]

I was working on an geology assignment thats coincidentally enough is on DunHuang and suddenly I see news of a DunHuang season??

now im completely distracted

[fringe marten]

I don't know what doot stands for and I keep hearing Pingu's "noot noot" when seeing that

[winged ore]

This season feels oddly strategic of TGC with the rise of popular of DunHuang in China and all

[barren solar]

Anyone else think the ult cape would look better without the gold part or just me?

[winged ore]

also this isnt a collab since the story is actually Public Domain

[winged ore]

the ribbon one?

[fringe marten]

technically speaking, The Little Prince is also public domain in most countries
though using a specific myth (as the season name too) is a first time

[tulip veldt]

well, if the design is based on the animation then it would not be entirely

[barren solar]

Yeah, that one (fun fact: it's known as a hagoromo or heavenly raiment and is sort of analogous to a halo)

[uncut ginkgo]

guys do u think the ribbon cape it's going to be the ultimate? 😯

Just went to relive the seasons spirits right now and.. wow the palace was dark XD

I struggled to see honestly, and the valley was also hard to see in hopefully they lighten those areas

[fringe marten]

I'm 95% sure since it's wear by the seasonal guide
It is still possible that it's an IAP though

[uncut ginkgo]

OOf I hope so but we never know in beta

[barren solar]

It's got the season pendant icon in the closet

[fringe marten]

It's beta™️ we never know for sure

[winged ore]

it could be the clothing.

[twilit rose]

Ah, I see you're also another man of culture as well..

[orchid void]

these days i just expect any very nice looking items are going to end up IAP or pass only

[barren solar]

But yeah the gold part might just be there as somewhere to put the cape stars but also makes the whole thing look a little crowded imo

[fringe marten]

This is very new/unique cape design, I'm curious about where they're gonna put cape stars on it too

[round patio]

Just saw the seasonal cosmetics and I’m so excited for this seasonnnn, the cape is so cool so far

[winged ore]

these ribbon capes are usually associated with flying and gods who fly and the flying apsaras

[snow lagoon]

Ok umm I have a question, can we use krill repellent spell to be safe from krill attack in the first quest?

[uncut ginkgo]

You'll be safe regardless

[snow lagoon]

Ohh we won't lose our WLs?

[fringe marten]

I get hit by one and I didn't lose wl

[uncut ginkgo]

You will but it's more like an Eden thing before the deer gives it back to you(it's a really weird but beautiful cutscene)

[snow lagoon]

Ohh I see. The deer gives back our lost WLs! That's so beautiful 🥺
Thanks for the info!

[fringe marten]

aw so the ones I lost during cutscene really are lost

[hidden geyser]

I don't like how they disabled direction control in air. it feels too heavy and uncomfortable to control myself

[snow lagoon]

Yeah apparently. But I will admit that's a beautiful act of kindness shown by the deer

[fringe marten]

I'm curious though
If you "die" (lose all WL) in that session, does it send you to the place where you hug yourself after Eden? Or you can continue and the deer returns all of them

[bleak mural]

I'm guessing it sends you to aviary's pity room?

[fringe marten]

I should test that if I can redo the quest

[snow lagoon]

I haven't seen anything of that sort happening. I have seen the deer rescuing you though, but I was unsure about whether the deer returns the WLs Or not

[bleak mural]

you'll have to wait for a future patch for that sadly

[fringe marten]

Nooo the opening cutscenes I skipped cause I didn't know losing fire is intentional

[spiral lodge]

I literally got Eden flashbacks from it

My thought during the opening cutscene and Eden was both “just keep going”

[fringe marten]

they should have removed the skip button so people know it's supposed to happened

[lapis girder]

@winged ore #beta-screenshots-videos message Nope, bug-report it

[winged ore]

ok

[fringe marten]

Hang on why is that skip able in the first place
I thought you can't skip a cutscenes you never watched before?

[somber oyster]

That might be a good thing to feedback!

[tranquil flume]

Rofl at getting yeeted through the underground water tunnel at the bottom of the lake. Mad flashbacks of testing Season of Flight before the devs toned down the winds because sky kids were getting yeeted wildly all over the place

[leaden jay]

Found two wings lights in the area. Are there anymore?

[uncut ginkgo]

Sof

[steady flower]

i hope they give the deer antlers or give us a antler ult cause how you gonna not 😭 i already left feedback
like dont get me wrong the season items are beautiful but then again wasted opportunity

[somber oyster]

@forest mica wait what 😭 did you just do a vault run and then they showed up?

[forest mica]

Yeah, I relived the seasonal spirits earlier this morning and went on a vault run both with my alt and main account ( my main, being the one that relived them, and they didn't show up on my alt's end ), and they were just there chilling 💀

[somber oyster]

Ohhh your alt didn’t relive them yet? Or they did?

[fringe marten]

They thought they're Vault regular spirits
(I think that's a bug)

[forest mica]

Yeah it probably is, I already reported it just in case it really is a bug

[steady flower]

i wanna ride the deer and use it as a form of transportation

[umbral fox]

Hi beta! I’m sadly not in beta but wanted to say I’m excited for everything I’ve seen of the new season so far! Love all the cosmetics- excited to figure out the story 🙂 Keep up the good work y’all!

[snow storm]

i started playing the 2nd quest and thought:

"oh yeah just another boring go to that location quest"

but i ended up crying, and as soon as i started quest 3 i literally closed the game bc i had to screenshare it to my friends i'm so excited

[winged ore]

woah this season is set in DunHuang omg

Will it also have the Singing Sand Dunes?? or even MoGao Cave

[somber oyster]

Were those new spirits your alt relived? Like in vault

[fading hazel]

Cannot get into valley of darkness...cannot get to new location...just drops me into OOB.

[tranquil flume]

Same, teleporting to the guide from Home forces you into OOB but you can safely enter the new area through the vault of knowledge instead of teleporting to the guide from home space.

[charred cedar]

have you tried go to valley and go through the door instead of home spirit teleport
That worked for me

[calm jetty]

Hi beta chat is anybody else having the issue where you land waaayyy underwater when starting the first quest? i wish i could send a pic to show bc im bad at explaining things ;-;

[forest mica]

I misunderstood a couple of things and edited the first message. Basically I was on a Vault run with both my main and alt account to relieve the vault spirits for my alt. I already relieved the base game vault spirits on my main account in the past, so I wasn't supposed to get any spirits at the meditation circle, but when I went there, my main account had the seasonal spirits around the meditation circle for some reason so yeah, it was most likely a bug, but it was nice of them to pay me a visit I guess

[winged ore]

oh oh, the villager in the mural 3 is probably gonna be the ungrateful merchant

[sour viper]

I want to buy cosmetics so bad

[fading hazel]

Thanks will do!

[tranquil flume]

Apparently teleporting to the quest guide from Home is bugged and leads to a forced OOB but you can enter safely through the alternate entrance in the vault (the door that used to lead to the starlight desert), that worked for me.

[wanton sand]

Is there only 2 wl in the new map?

[bleak mural]

seems so, for now!

[wanton sand]

Alright thank you

[calm jetty]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[snow storm]

this season is reminding me of journey

am i the only one?

[sour viper]

Beta keeps gaslightining me telling me I have connection issues

[reef oriole]

yayy new season

[tulip veldt]

i like how there's candles (?!) in this underwater tunnel 🙂

[snow storm]

there's candles in the throne room as well

[shell fossil]

@bleak mural Can't say I've had time to explore the season as much as everyone here--there's always lots to organize for beta build releases!--but I love seeing all the screenshots (and memes) people are posting

[bleak mural]

It's all so pretty I'm loving how engaging the quests are too

[somber oyster]

Okay so we’re saying goodbye to the spirits only in Vault though sending them off to Eden

[fringe marten]

seasonal quest speedrun

[limber nacelle]

How did you do that, Sof?

[bleak mural]

how fitting that today's daily tip is "beware of the dark dragon"

[fringe marten]

"Beware of the dark dragon"
Sky kids:" Save us, the mighty Nine Colored Deer!"

[somber oyster]

By running vault to summit (I tp’ed to Luna, she did all the work)

[limber nacelle]

Oh. That's interesting, are they interactable at all? Or just act like regular spirits?

[somber oyster]

No haha they will just ascend

Okay idk how Luna did it

[sharp geode]

Hello, does anyone have the locations for all the spirits? I've only found 3

[winged glacier]

Do they have it to where we can't get the season cosmetics yet?

[analog silo]

Yep! Make sure to check out #beta-announcements

⚠️ The new season constellation isn’t active, so cosmetics shouldn’t be unlockable yet. However, you should be able to preview them in your closets.

[charred cedar]

the queen is in the very inside part of the palace (there's a tunnel)

[sharp geode]

I have her. It's the uh....king?

[charred cedar]

Oh he's at the entrance I think?
Need to check again but I think he's on the left hand side of the palace entrance

[sharp geode]

GOT HIM! THANK YOOOOOOU

[lilac briar]

Hey what did they mean by dofortune earrings?

[terse ridge]

[eager oriole]

That krill came out of nowhere. This is the first time a krill made me scream since moth days

[real solstice]

Slight spoiler. Depends how you want to look at it.

In quest 2, there's just a black text box next to the deer instead of having text when you find/rescue the manta. The only text that appears is at the bottom telling you to go back to the mural at the end

[somber oyster]

Ohhh that one I forgot to bug report! Ty for the reminder

[real solstice]

I really wanted to read that part cause I instantly fell in love with the season

So I wanna know the whole story

[somber oyster]

Yeah that’s beta! We usually dont see the finished result until Live… but that’s what makes it fun for me, I get to experience it fully as intended in Live

[uncut horizon]

It's definitely fun to see quests change and get polished before they go live if the quests are broken in beta that's fine, I know that eventually it'll go live without being broken (hopefully)

[real solstice]

Adds more to the surprise for us then

[eager oriole]

The season guide kind of reminds me of Forest Elder

[vale haven]

Her facial structure is gorgeous

[bleak mural]

speaking of forest elder, 👢 when

[eager oriole]

She's so ethereal

[vale haven]

I realllyyyy like how the guide is right now

[eager oriole]

Right? I personally can't think of anything I'd change. The cape alone makes me want to get the pass

[vale haven]

I do hope we get a set of horns and ears to match with le deer

[eager oriole]

Yeah I'm curious to see if they will, since the christmas deer antlers are already so fitting

[vale haven]

Hopefully this season has a good ending XD

[eager oriole]

First Flight, then Abyss and now Nine Coloured Deer. The holy trinity of krill seasons

[bleak mural]

I really really really want the inevitable super IAP to give us the rainbow call color

[reef oriole]

going crazy trying to find this last spirit

[eager oriole]

me too

[bleak mural]

which one? is it the one to the side of the entrance to the big palace?

[tulip veldt]

one of them is not very glowy

[bleak mural]

if you're having trouble finding it, feedbacking that is a good idea!

[eager oriole]

There's 4 in total right?

[lavish kestrel]

Hey uhh where can i purchase stuff from the spirits?

[dense smelt]

I found all the spirits with no issues. Though I usually explore looking for bugs instead of intentionally searching for the spirits.

[terse ridge]

#beta-season-test-chat message

[blissful nest]

I have a question in mind : how to get the code ?

[sour viper]

What code?

[peak ether]

Is the Season of the 9 colored deer supposed to be a Vault season or a Praire season?

Or is it a closed off season like Season of Revival?

[limber nacelle]

Vault, because that's the only other place you can use to get there. The Guide is also seen walking in the Vault during the season introduction when logging into the game for the first time of the season.

[peak ether]

I think this is the first time that a season doesn’t match the aesthetic of a realm

Cause even Abyss had very similar story theming with the Golden Wasteland

[rough kraken]

really the entire area doesn’t match the aesthetic of sky, the red color of the sand was so striking.
I think the story itself matches but the season area definitely doesn’t

[lusty flax]

i'd have to agree, though i wouldn't say i entirely dislike it. i think i'm just in shock by the color palette personally, i think it's gorgeous and at the same time completely different than the sky i'm used to

[vale temple]

The light red sand reminds me of journey's pink desert

[lusty flax]

me too! i'm getting major journey vibes and i personally cannot complain about that haha

[vale temple]

All they need to do now is add a tiny yellow flower easer egg.

[real solstice]

I took a screen recording, but can't share it here. But the little stone where we mark the area on our maps is glitching

[frail herald]

Hello, I was wondering, I currently have the beta on my android device. I just got a new iPhone. How could I have access to the beta on both devices?

[real solstice]

Everything goes as normal. But then it doesn't do the usual animation. When exiting, it keeps going in a loop until you press "X" and quickly move

[lusty flax]

i wonder where the seasonal area will be accessible from besides taking two teleportation routes to it. like, in which realm will we be able to walk to it from?

[real solstice]

I've only seen the one (seasonal guide). Where's the other?

[lusty flax]

there's this room in vault where you can tp to aurora and the little prince area, and now you can tp to the seasonal area

that room used to be where you could just enter the little prince area, but now it's been changed into a tp area to three areas

[real solstice]

Oh cool. I haven't been to the vault today because I save that area for last on my CR

I've gotten used of that cause thats how I do it in live

[gentle yew]

Both devices both invite pings You need to wait iOS invite pings

[umbral fox]

Y’all think they’ll update the model on the antler cosmetic if enough people want it? I see lots of requests for more accurate horns and I think it would be awesome if they were white with the 9 colors 🤷🏼‍♂️ How do you all feel?

[vale haven]

We don’t have any antlers for the season that’s why everyone is requesting for there *to be * horns

[umbral fox]

Oooooooh that makes sense. Misunderstood what people were saying. I’m not in beta so I wasn’t sure

[vale haven]

Ye people are going Gaga over the hopes of antlers that are white and shiny

[umbral fox]

I’m on the antler boat with everyone else! Fingers crossed- would be cool imo. We have seasonal antlers sure but it would make sense thematically of the season to also offer some antlers

[vale haven]

I want lil baby antlers to be available one day it would be so cute

[barren solar]

I'd rather have antlers included in the mask tbh

[whole shard]

I like antlers, but don’t get the massive wave of hype associated with them

Flower crown will always be my permanent head accessory

Also, this area would be the very first “dead-end” area with no real exit.

Getting in or out of it could be a hassle for groups.

[vague lake]

Should be a little cave corridor thing like from Little Prince that takes you back to that little crossover chamber

[barren solar]

There should just be a normal entrance somewhere imo the whole collab room thing shouldn't supersede the collab areas actually existing in the game

[rare ocean]

My Aurora season pants disappeared from my closet, is this normal? (I hadn't logged into the beta for a while)

[whole shard]

Definitely, agreed

[orchid knot]

Ah heck I wish dreams ults could come back cause this outfit is so cool #beta-screenshots-videos message

[still sedge]

are there any winged lights in the season area?

[mental salmon]

Are there any recent movies of the collab season? I can only find old films and fanmades...

[bleak mural]

it's better to explore yourself before asking what's in the area!

[wide star]

It’s an old short film from the 80s. There’s no official remakes

Is there a season constellation yet?

[rich silo]

Unlikely to be one until we get another update

[pastel tapir]

has anyone gotten launched out into the oasis? i found a hole at the bottom of the jellyfish part and it yoinked me and launched me into the oasis lol

[rain fulcrum]

I found one in the crescent lake and shoots you out!

[wary wing]

Should I even fill bug report for android when there are zillion bug reports w the same issue (ie android 9 n 10 being basically not even starable)?

[limber nacelle]

Always do it. Devs need this info.

[rain fulcrum]

No constellation yet?

[fading hazel]

Has anyone found the cosmetic trees?

[green cave]

not in the game yet

[fading hazel]

TQ

[edgy imp]

To the person wearing the revival ult cape and fire prophet pants IM SO SAD THE SERVER MERGED AWAY FROM YOU...PLEASE YOU WERE SO COOL AND I NEVER GOT TO FRIEND YOU.....

[heady plume]

I thought it was in vault where Little Prince was?

[lilac briar]

The constellation doesn’t have the new season yet so we can’t buy stuff yet right?

[trim coral]

It turn to a collaboration room so

[whole shard]

I hope it’s either Valley or Wasteland. Maybe Valley because the spirits are fancy and regal, or Wasteland because of the krill appearing

[fervent crest]

[lusty flax]

wow, the artwork looks beautiful

[somber oyster]

Thank you for sharing!!!!

[grave pecan]

I'm the only one who doesn't start Beta Sky, it just doesn't open, I don't know what to do

[warm furnace]

Hey guys, how many spirits are there in the new area?

Edit: Thank you! I only found 3

[vale temple]

I have reported ults from flight, abyss, and tlp being messed up again now that we've launched into 9 color deer beta season😭

Soon... Tlp rose will approach 1 year 8 months (in 5 days) of it having messed up lighting in caves and certain areas...

Abyss cape 6 months

Flight feathers wonky on a couple hairs for about 2 months.

My first three seasons 💀 I am consistently fighting a losing battle 🫠

[grave pecan]

Oh, but I have version 12

Recently, everything was working, as the update came out, the game stopped opening

[rich silo]

https://youtu.be/DcGVqaes8dA?si=qCMAs9wHKBl7lOVm
you can add this to the screenshot post too
this is the youtube version with english subtitles

[fervent crest]

I tried booting on my Android 10 test device and it succeeded, it seems like it may not be related to the system version but maybe the device?
I have seen many Android users reporting that they cannot start the game, most of them are Android 10, but have different device information, you can also report your device information

[rich silo]

the team is aware of the beta not opening issue but it's encouraged to bug report so they can get a larger variety of reports for this issue to help them figure it out

[timber forum]

Has anyone unlocked a friend’s tree to see what the new friendship emote is? I PRAY it’s actually a princess carry O_O

[somber oyster]

Yeah, it doesn’t show up yet

[timber forum]

Dang :p thank u!

[urban coral]

Seems like that’s what the spirit is doing

[somber oyster]

I’m as curious though! I’ll check it out with my friend when it’s there

[desert gale]

princess carry would be so cute

[urban coral]

Didn’t the update notes say it crashes… ya it’s in the #beta-known-issues

[somber oyster]

Yes but it doesn’t show up in the friendship tree, and also not after the backend update. Friend & I checked!

[urban coral]

Ahhh… I don’t have many friends to check it out with so I thought it might have been there already

[reef oriole]

maybe it's a throw emote

[limber nacelle]

A carry and throw emote would be chaotic.

[uncut ginkgo]

Chibi punting is finally real /j

[urban coral]

My candles are burning a hole in my pocket… hope I can buy some stuff. Or IAPs ??? Gimme gimme

[somber oyster]

I’m in

[tulip veldt]

who are you people downloading so fast?!

[somber oyster]

Interacting with friendship emote crashes you now yes

Bless, the one hairstyle everyone loves is 8 SC

[wary halo]

where do you find the spirit with the beautiful lushest hair i cant find him anywhere

[amber dirge]

He's above the mural

[rich silo]

if the spirits were hard to find, #beta-feedback

[tardy ruin]

Doot!

[rich silo]

oohhhh it's halfway theeere~~

[urban coral]

Mine is extra slow today… I think it heard me talking and decided to torture me

[olive forum]

🆙 📅

[fresh stone]

up jul 17?
(this what i see in your emoji)

[somber oyster]

It’s not in the friendship tree yet!

[stiff locust]

Spiny in the air emote level 1 and 2 is no longer on loop

[proven wadi]

Anyone know how to buy from the spirits?

[waxen oyster]

I updated, and the friendship emote in the spirit tree crashed me. I couldn’t get it

[somber oyster]

By opening your constellation at home pad

[proven wadi]

I tried, maybe it's a bug?

[waxen oyster]

Update?

[somber oyster]

Yeah, and it’s not in the friendship tree. Tried with friend 😔

[proven wadi]

I didn't realize another update was available lol, thanks I'll try that

[waxen oyster]

Aviary moths will be so confused with this season. There’s a guide at home and a new constellation where to buy the cosmetics

[whole shard]

It’s similar to pre-aviary moths

However, the constellation placement is very strange. Is it like a crescent shape?

[icy flint]

how can we buy iaps in the new seasonal spirits, theres no constellation bug?

[somber oyster]

There are no IAPs yet!

[rich silo]

update your game, the constellation is added
and yeah no IAP yet, you just unlock with SC

[icy flint]

Oh okay ty

[green cave]

how does that person in screenshots have 415 seasonal candles

[icy flint]

Ohhh... So thats why thanks

[proven wadi]

Anyone know where the queen spirit is?

[rich silo]

did you feedback that you couldn't find em

[proven wadi]

Not yet

[rich silo]

tgc encourages peeps to just look rather than get the answer because live peeps would have the same issues

[proven wadi]

True, ok I'll look for them then, thanks

[waxen oyster]

I have 1300+, it’s from seasonal candle cobversion

[green cave]

seasonal candles tho... the season just started lol

[waxen oyster]

Aviary just ended like 2-3 weeks ago bruh

[spiral needle]

Happy Revival to Aviary, Happy Revival to Aviary, Happy Revival, Happy Revival..! Happy Revival to Aviary!

[green cave]

Seasonal Candles convert to regular candles, am I missing something?

[lapis girder]

Seasonal candles reset every season

[green cave]

I get having a lot of regular candles, but 400+ Seasonal ones at the start of the season is weird that's all I was talking about

[lapis girder]

That’s a good observation…

[waxen oyster]

Ohh you said they have 415 seasonal candles. I missed the word seasonal my bad 😂😂 They have that many from buying all the days of love iaps

Imagine they get to finish the season in a couple days

[green cave]

all the DOL packs combined give 105 seasonal candles

[waxen oyster]

Wait does it

I thought they get like 100 from each 😂

[lapis girder]

A few love packs include 35 seasonal candles. I think like four?

[vale temple]

Wild to me none of the ults are deer items for deer of 9 colors season...

[rich silo]

no one should have 415 SC, if they do they're a hacker rn

[fresh stone]

me who actually explored and found the last spirit

[green cave]

three, which amounts to 105 candles... 415 is suspicious

[lapis girder]

Ah, three, okay thank you!

[fresh stone]

interesting, i got 2 game crashes from lighting up one spirit

[vale haven]

I’m satisfied for this season it’s got new emotes new masks new pants new hairs new spirits new light bois and a entirely new outlook on darkness plants

[blissful grove]

When I press level 2 upgrade of new side hug emote , app crashes again n again...😪

[shell fossil]

MonsterOfMercury (the person whose screenshots were being referred to) is a member of our Creator Troupe, so they have those seasonal candles as part of their participation

[pastel tapir]

oop pc crashed after reliving the emperor t-t

[fresh stone]

ok, its not just me then

[shell fossil]

(If folks have concerns about hackers, though, it's fine to let us know. Thank you for keeping an eye out )

[limber nacelle]

Seems like the dailies are invisible until completed. I'm gonna bug report that when I wake up if I don't forget.

[fresh stone]

i was being lazy, and didnt do spirits / explore the new area yesterday

[reef oriole]

I'd didn't even know there was an update
Hi lex nice seeing youu

[waxen oyster]

Is the flower safe to buy for 100 candles?

[analog silo]

Only one way to find out Testing time

[fresh stone]

oh hey zale! nice seeing you here
and there, got a video footage for bug report

[prime umbra]

Yo is the new friendship emotes here yet

[pastel tapir]

couldnt find it so no D:

[prime umbra]

Awww

[vale temple]

Can anyone else not see dailies...?

[stiff locust]

Happening to me, too! They still work, just not visible text

[spare onyx]

Should the floating dance be a continuous emote?

[pastel tapir]

level 4? please i would love it

[vale haven]

I wanna spun midair infinitely

[spare onyx]

All levels only last for seconds on my device, is that a bug?
It was a continuous emote before the update I remember
IDK if it's a change not a bug

[vale temple]

@prime umbra Even if other capes made to look like other animals, since the queen in the story explicitly wanted the garment from the skinned deer (and didn't get it), to make a cape that distinctly looks like the 9 color deer would probably cause a lot of issues since it would directly contradict the story in the animation. It would just probably not be a good idea. Even if it were communicated to not actually be a deer pelt...

[prime umbra]

still want it skin 🥰

[gloomy bramble]

Adding another point to your message, the other capes were not part of a collaboration, so they were not limited to a certain theme/limitations such as following a plot

[vale temple]

Well you probably won't get it. Or if we do get a 9 color deer cape it will probably not look like the actual deer at all. It would just feel disrespectful to the animation.

[somber oyster]

#beta-screenshots-videos message like this again?

[prime umbra]

@karmic stone i took it

It’s mine 😍😍

[somber oyster]

The emotes this season are phenomenal though…..

[vale temple]

@karmic stone we haven't gotten any horns for the deer mask yet, but if you want some please

[uncut ginkgo]

there is 1 emote make us crash

[limber nacelle]

Yes, but in the story, the King and Queen learned about the man's betrayal to the Deer and they decided that it wasn't worth messing with that deer because of its powers.

[rain fulcrum]

Hilarious, the DoFortune spirits run away with the dragon

[urban coral]

Since this is a collab I’m assuming we will have some IAPs … at least we have every other collab season

[prime umbra]

Imagine wearing it 🥰🥰🥰

[limber nacelle]

I would be cursed by that thing.

[terse ridge]

Well you’re not going to get it. It would go against the story.

[spare onyx]

So the floating dance not going loop anymore is a change

[terse ridge]

WHATT NOOO 💔
Feedback time

[shell fossil]

Did you learn nothing from the Season of Aurora quests??

[prime umbra]

Imagine dancing around it, oh how I love to imagine how smooth the cape is 😍😍

[limber nacelle]

What are you trying to say? I'm confused by that, is there some kind of reference I'm missing? Genuine question, I might be dumb.

[sly narwhal]

Am i the only one got crashed and not able to login

[terse ridge]

Feedback sent!

[somber oyster]

If you crash when opening the game, then that’s an issue multiple android users are having at the moment :/.

I suggest reporting the issue as a bug for now!

However, you can always try the troubleshoot steps here: #beta-faq message

[vale haven]

I really want to emoji all of auroras messages in her song onto the message but soon as I think for more songs poofs went the words

[shell oxide]

Hi after I lit the candle to set aviary as home how can I go back to default home to set it back?

[somber oyster]

I’ll answer you in the other chat!

[shell oxide]

Ty

[uncut ginkgo]

AAAAH I think I'm not the only one here who would liked to see a deer plushie in game

[patent quiver]

My ears are buzzing
If you’re wondering where the extra candles came from, a member of tgc gave them to me a little while after Revival ended and they never converted over

[somber oyster]

Yes! Sagomay explained too here: #beta-season-test-chat message

Big hugs, enjoy the season!!

Update your game

[rain fulcrum]

Guessing that the change in color in the dragon from white to black is a 🐛? If you pick the mask in front it is white, if you go behind it is black

[somber oyster]

We had a new update just now

[somber oyster]

Maybe! But I think that might be better discussed in #beta-discussion

[rain fulcrum]

Forgot

[visual pewter]

Does anyone else get Ginyu Force vibes from the new muscle/strong emote? Or Saiyaman? XD

[boreal grove]

Anyone got crashed after it gets the carry emote to buy?

[visual pewter]

Weird, my message disappeared. What you're referring to was hacked content and not allowed here.

[boreal grove]

I hope that the season spirit 21 (which is the floating spin lady) is make it loop, it's more gorgeous than the one spin and back to the reality.

[willow eagle]

"You cannot eat money, oh no"

[limber nacelle]

Oh.

[delicate dock]

I can't get the task.ls it a bug ？

[rough kraken]

ults for a deer season not including deer horns is… a choice

[amber dirge]

Or the deer mask

[rough kraken]

isn’t the deer mask part of the season guide tree? but regardless the season pass cosmetics are feeling lackluster to me now that I can predict what will be kept back for extra IAP ://

[amber dirge]

It's probably 200 candles it should be a ult

[visual pewter]

Yeah it's crashed on me twice now

[rough kraken]

better igc than non season pass iap

[lean hare]

how many seasonal spirits are there?

ive only found 2 lol, where do i find them all?

[manic belfry]

bruh why i can't upgrade emote or buy something, did i need to complete all spirit?

[tranquil flume]

Hiya fam have we found more than 2 WLs at oasis? Just checking in

[eternal hedge]

Yep! One behind mural and one above castle

Ah I mean yes 2

[amber dirge]

One is behind the throne one is above the mural one is outside the castle in the corner of the castle wall and the last one is in the sandy area by the castle

[waxen oyster]

Update!

So the hunter is everyone’s favorite this season huh

[manic belfry]

ohh, i think i need to complete golden wasteland spirit cause i not completed yet😅

[craggy kayak]

I do wonder that, how can we have a deer inspired mask without the main visuals to show it's a deer will tgc bring some kind of design to look like a deer? Or just keep it as is?

[waxen oyster]

Check TestFlight for an update. You should be able to play the new season if you opened wasteland

[rough kraken]

absolutely. and if you do a bit of digging you’ll see that there most likely ARE deer horns in development but somehow they’re not included in the pass which makes me think it’ll be an additional iap ://

[craggy kayak]

Ah I see. Well thank you for that, it has helped clear the question better now

[manic belfry]

so.. can you help me? im afraid of krill😅

[vale temple]

I've said too if they do have deer horns in the works, now that they have shown us ults, I really fear they will be iap. We shouldn't have to pay an additional price to complete the main visage if the 9 color deer... Feels crummy if that ends up being the case. But I don't see where else the deer antlers will appear since there's already two igc ults in the tree for the quests...

[spice stone]

You may need to buy a gift package.

[rough kraken]

tbh I can’t say it’s unexpected but I am definitely disappointed if tgc forces players to pay an additional price for the hallmark of the season, the deer….

[spice stone]

This is normal.

[craggy kayak]

It would end up being like the cape for both the little prince and aurora.

[rich silo]

normal aside, people are free to have their opinions about this and send feedback

[vale temple]

Maybe if we complain enough they'll change their minds 😞

Any deer horns we do end up getting should be an ultimate reward. Igc or pass but definitely not an iap.

[paper scroll]

Are there anyone missing one seasonal heart ? I just checked and miss one 😭

[rich silo]

iirc one of the spirit trees is missing a heart rn

[rich silo]

it's not the first time they split items this way though
the TLP scarf was separate from the pjs + hair in the end
asteroid cape was IAP, pants became igc

[craggy kayak]

I do want to ask if anyone has had trouble going through the spirit to get to the new area, I keep getting pushed out of the map once the cutscene ends and I can't fly back up. It's up-to-date too, but I want to make sure before sending a ticket about it. I don't know if someone else already mentioned the glitch.

[rough kraken]

in the season of the little prince the ults were the likeness of the prince tho. now we don’t get deer ults in the season pass and might have to pay extra for them instead? I definitely left feedback

[rich silo]

send it anyway because it's important for TGC to get a variety of reports from various devices to narrow down the source of the problem

[visual pewter]

That happened to me as well, the way I got around that is I went to the vault collab area and teleported to the new area that way

[craggy kayak]

Thank you, I'll try that route after I submit a beta-glitch ticket

[void patrol]

100 candols for the flower? 😭

[fervent crest]

It seems that there is a missing season ❤️ node. Did I misread it?

[uncut ginkgo]

Me too as I don't mind getting a seasonal pass just to get the deer antler if it ever comes but can't get a seasonal pass+IAP that would be not healthy for my wallet

[waxen oyster]

Collab seasons be like

[rich silo]

confirmed to be a placeholder price just 🧇 as usual

[waxen oyster]

Watch it go up to 200

[fervent crest]

There seems to be no ❤️ on the king's exchange tree

[waxen oyster]

This is normal

[rough kraken]

same, plus I’m aware this is just my personal preference so it doesn’t matter too much but I am actually not a fan of most of the cosmetics to the point where I’m unsure if I’ll get the pass or not for myself. I was certainly expecting some deer items in the pass…

[rich silo]

tbh it is also a common marketing tactic to have some stuff available for free then you get the rest through money if you wanna do the extra fancy
like if you want ONLY the deer cosmetics then the deer mask is IGC (free) at the top anyway then it's just that + the supposed IAP for the antlers

[waxen oyster]

I think we’ll get a deer something ult. I’m not buying ults until a couple weeks into the season because I think we’ll get one more

[uncut ginkgo]

Hi hi, help me, i couldn't see what are today's daily quests. Before the new update, i glance hug a friend but other than that i can't remember and the quest list doesn't appear on my screen

[rough kraken]

that’s definitely true, it’s just wacky to me that a season called nine colored DEER wouldn’t include any DEER items in the season pass 😭😭

edit, sorry for ping cy I am sleepy

[rich silo]

the guide themselves seem based off the figure to the right of the mural the story is based on
unlikely they will suddenly gain anything deer-like

[waxen oyster]

They’re the same as in live except for the hug. If you complete them, you’ll still get the candles

[uncut ginkgo]

Thanks

[uncut ginkgo]

I do agree and I'm still waiting if there is a deer antlers in working cause buying every single items individually would put me in tight spot and I would say tgc really knows how to lure us

[rich silo]

I'm fortunate to have a friend gift me a pass for the season so I'm neutral on this but I think also like
we need to wait and see what the antlers end up looking like as well if they get added in
like what makes them IAP worthy

[waxen oyster]

What if the guide will be the actual deer, and the figure right now is a placeholder?

[rough kraken]

yeah and I think the time to campaign for a switch would be if/when they add deer horns as iaps

[rich silo]

it makes even less sense to have the guide's items as IAP
tbh I'm surprised they made that sash an ult, it's kind of insane

the guide isn't a character that existed in the film at all, so they don't have much bearing on storyline
I feel like they might be a representative of the mural, a storyteller

[radiant jackal]

Where is the spirit constellation for this season?

[rich silo]

if you updated your game, it's where it usually is in the constellations

[waxen oyster]

Check TestFlight for an update. It’s at home

[rich silo]

why would we have a cape that is literally the animal pelt of the deer that's just being a villain and is really morbid
I don't think TGC wants to promote hunting animals for their pelt

[waxen oyster]

You mean the Queen in her memory?

[waxen oyster]

I think in the movie the queen wanted the deer hyde to wear, but that never happened

[rich silo]

yeah so I'm saying why would you offer that as IAP it's really messed up lol

[digital turret]

It could be a cape “based” off of the deer, not it’s actual pelt

[waxen oyster]

Oh lmao I missed that Cy

[digital turret]

There are many capes ingame that already replicate fluffy animal pelts so i don’t see how this would be any different?

[rich silo]

because story-wise that's why the queen is the villain in this one lol
she wants the deer killed for vanity reasons

context matters.

[waxen oyster]

turtle cape

[digital turret]

Hopefully they are all vegan

[rich silo]

I think pants based off the deer could be cool as well

[digital turret]

Yeah that’s true but i’m sure the story will change in some sense like i can’t see them || killing off the boy that ratted on her whereabouts || any cosmetic based on that deer would be appreciated cause right now that mask aint cutting it for me, i’m still sour about it

[rich silo]

in quest 3 she was still straight up "I want that deer pelt get it for me hubby" though lol

[steady flower]

100% agree, I left feed back about it I also made a drawing of an ult that I wish was included

[oblique inlet]

I dont like the lack of ears or antlers, hopefully some come during development

[subtle hedge]

Where’s the emote that looks like it goes to a friendship tree I can’t find it anywhere 😭

[waxen oyster]

The king, side of the palace behind the columns

[subtle hedge]

OH NVM FOUND IT THX

[waxen oyster]

The emote itself is bugged rn

[digital turret]

Oh nice! That’s very similar to what i want, just a carbon copy of the deer’s head in mask form, there’s still hope and i don’t even mind if it’s iap

[subtle hedge]

Ugh yah my iPad made a sound

[steady flower]

Same! It was kinda disappointing seeing as there are no cosmetics actually about the deer itself. It’d make more sense tbh

[versed token]

Do we know which season is set to go live after revival ends? Living?

[rich silo]

Season of Nine-Coloured Deer

[digital turret]

I think tgc already know that is what players want, so i can definitely see them putting it behind a paywall

[steady flower]

True

[rich silo]

well yeah, white antlers are something I've also wishlisted for
I don't mind paying money for it as long as it's more epic than the feast ones in some way

[fair glen]

Are the antlers gone?

[steady flower]

I wouldn’t mind buying it either

[steady flower]

The reindeer ones?

[fair glen]

The new deer ones, I was hyped, thought they might be part of the ultimate gift

[steady flower]

There are new antlers?

[shell fossil]

(I'm unable to add anything about deer antlers in the game. As a researcher of Sky creatures, I'm here merely to give 1000 beta points to folks using "antlers" instead of "horns" 🥇 )

[steady flower]

Yay

[proven bronze]

Omg, it's called "Cradle Carry"? Yesss, YESSSSS

[cobalt solstice]

What if... Hear me out... We get a deer skin coat cosmetic 🤣

[shell fossil]

Nothing I say in #beta-announcements should be taken as the word of Megabird until it's also in the live version of the game but feel free to use the term if you'd like, haha

[steady flower]

Yes and a deer mask with antlers

[shell fossil]

Widget...

[oblique inlet]

It will have a disclaimer with " no deers were hurt in the making of this coat "

[shell fossil]

[cobalt solstice]

It can be faux fur

[steady flower]

Man I should work for sky I’d know exactly what players would want hahahah

[proven bronze]

Hehehe, yes yes okayy! As long as I have more and more ways to take my friends hostage, I agree (cue evil giggle)

[cobalt solstice]

I still say we need a catch your friend in a cage emote so you can just abduct your friends 🤣

[rich silo]

okay but we better be able to fly while carrying friends cuz it would be absolutely hilarious

[steady flower]

It’d be cool if I could ride the deer into Eden

[finite saffron]

Cradle... carry..??

[proven bronze]

Hehehehe... HEHEHEHE

[cobalt solstice]

Crab-le carry

[steady flower]

I WISH TO MOUNT THE DEER INTO EDEN AND RIDE IT INTO BATTLE

[finite saffron]

Oh no...

Another partner emote that's gonna be locked behind 10 ascended candles...

Thanks TGC...

[steady flower]

It sucks when for people who play solo 😭

[winged ore]

Noooo that defeats the purpose of the story

In the story, the deer got so angry with his betrayer (that turban snake guy) that he drowned him

[cobalt solstice]

Exactly a life for a life lol

[steady flower]

Yer

[shell violet]

One spirit in sky beta have bug crash game

[winged ore]

That deer is very violent. Ironic enough, he saved him from drowning. So he got revenge by drowning him

[steady flower]

Deer meat it’s hunting season boys!

[fervent crest]

I saw on the tree that one of the tops was missing a ❤️ And I was wondering if I only needed 3 ❤️ This reason? Or is one missing due to a bug?

[steady flower]

Gonna turn that deer into a Texas BBQ

[cobalt solstice]

We will need to WAFO to find out

[winged ore]

Smh

[willow eagle]

Wasn't the villager drown himself from being scared? The deer just flex itself and made everyone intimidated lol

[cobalt solstice]

We kid we kid don't worry lol but for real it does have a pretty coat 😄

[winged ore]

From my memory, he drowned him. Could just be a variation I read. Its a oral story after all

[lean hare]

are dailies nonexistent for anyone else?

[steady flower]

I have never heard of this story prolly because I live in North America so

[winged ore]

Well not rlly oral, but also pictural

[cobalt solstice]

You may have to be forced to aviary to get the quests

[winged ore]

Its a Chinese mythology, originated from the cave arts of DunHuang

[steady flower]

That’s prolly why I’ve never heard of it 💀

[lean hare]

they dont show up in aviary either
when i click the exclamation mark on the shrine, or tap the corner of my screen
bug?

[winged ore]

Silk Road and all. So that drowned merchant is a "Hu person"

The Crescent Lake and the Oasis are real locations in DunHuang

[steady flower]

But yeah, legit never heard of the nine colored deer so I hold no emotions over a deer or the story. But an eye for an eye my friend , also I’d be petty too and drown the hunter again LMAO

[winged ore]

I demand tgc add a Sky version of the MoGao cave. Instead of flying apsaras, it can be whatever lore is part of the Sky universe. That way, it can connect directly back to the game lore

[fervent crest]

You can see #beta-season-test-chat message

[steady flower]

They should do one based off of a Native American story, it’s be interesting to see other races get a cool collab story too or a Polynesian one, or any indigenous tribe, it’d be so cool to see

[winged ore]

I have this crazy obsession for DunHuang and a love for the culture and especially art and clothing of the region
So much so I came back from hiatus

[fervent crest]

If you have time, you can travel to Dunhuang. I've been there before, seen the paintings and the architecture

[light agate]

Where is the spirit for the floating emote

[fervent crest]

In the cave behind the palace

[cobalt solstice]

Or Cree Nation! The aurora song you cannot eat money is from a cree proverb I believe.

[winged ore]

I always want to visit. If I xan go back again this summer, thats my goal. Oh since u been there, what do you think about self travel in Du b Huang?

[light agate]

I don’t see it

[steady flower]

yes it would be super interesting or one based off native mexicans too, as a mixed native mexican itd be so cool

[winged ore]

Ive always been kind of too much a simpleton for China, thats why I wonder if its safe for self travel

[willow eagle]

Go to the second floor of the palace and then walk into the doors beside the throne, go along with the tunnel and you will find the spirit

[light agate]

There is just wall

[slate sentinel]

did anyone else lose a ton of wl during the beginning of the first quest? or was that just me

[rich silo]

(btw if you're having trouble, you should #beta-feedback so other live players won't have the same problem)

[fervent crest]

I'm sorry that I haven't tried a self driving tour I followed the guide of the travel agency 🤣
I’m not sure about the policy issues regarding cross-border self-driving travel, such as whether driver’s licenses are universal.

[steady flower]

i think that was the purpose i also did too

[light agate]

The game toook all my levels from the thing so k can’t really get up

[slate sentinel]

ah, okay. i kind of got mad 😭

[steady flower]

im too lazy to wl hunt so

[willow eagle]

there is an elevator inside the first floor, you just need to light it up

[light agate]

It doesn’t work

[low spoke]

I’m too lazy to see my doctor

[slate sentinel]

same, im like a lvl 35 in beta 😭💀

[willow eagle]

try to light the one *on * the platform

[light agate]

Still don’t work

[steady flower]

im 64, like why bother when ive got most of the buffs in live plus i got invis cap so seeing the incomplete lights isnt bothering me anymore

[winged ore]

No I dont plan on self drive. And NOOOO No tour guide. I was force to go to HengDian with a tour guide and lemme tell you the hell I went through 😭😭
Taxi is cheap

[rich silo]

(I don't think this is a beta topic so you could take that to dms?)

[light agate]

I found a way

[winged ore]

Ill never go anywhere in China with tour guides 😭😭😭

[winged ore]

Oh sorry yeah

[fervent crest]

Can I send you a DM?

[winged ore]

Ok back to beta:

Can't say I like the outfit pairings decision of the Empress spirit 💀
I mean a male round collar robe which is normal at the time but with the hair is kinda out of place. That hair goes better with a more girly style. Especially since with the inclusion of a "buyao" hairpin

[rich silo]

and sky has never quite done a 1:1 representation of irl cultures so it's artistic liscence
at least in recent times for their designs

[winged ore]

I know. It just feels like a weird combo. Like ummm.... the most girly hair ever paired with the most boyish outfit

The "buyao" (Step- Shake, wasnt reading Lol) hair representing self restraint, and the outfit is more representing freedom. Two clashing elements

[rich silo]

don’t ping reply me please

[winged ore]

Ok sorry 👌🏻

Habits

[steady flower]

Same

[pastel tapir]

doesnt help that discord turns it on by default t-t

[steady flower]

I can’t seem to find the deer in the seasonal area, krill must have ate him

[winged ore]

Dont he appear during quest?

[steady flower]

No after

[steady flower]

Yeah, I don’t mind when people do it for me because sometimes I leave and come back later and not know if someone was talking to me

[pastel tapir]

big same

[winged ore]

The only time I mind pings from discord is when Im in the middle of a game match like Identity V or HP Magic Awakened

[devout venture]

i know we moved on from this kinda but id love an Inuit story. what with Abyss and Flight very much having clothes vibes i remember from growing up and the Iggaak (snow goggles) Yeti got last year (and Yeti entirely tbh their wraps are y e s)

[steady flower]

Yeah, but then again I have notifications off so, yeah. Not sure why people get so bothered by them really. Seeing that makes me laugh and do it to em out of spite. I’m mean I know 😭

[steady flower]

Yeah yeah! I knew those goggles reminded me of something, I knew it!

[frosty wasp]

Does anyone know which spirit will sell the Taiko drum? I'm not seeing it in the constellation

[winged ore]

They dont bother me. Only annoys me when the notification pop up blocks my view during a match

[steady flower]

That’s why I got discord on my phone and mainly use it on my phone

Got discord opened in the background on my Mac, with notifications on mute, and muted notifications on mobile

[winged ore]

No its bc its on my phone. Like in a game in Identity V, last time I got catch by the hunter bc I couldn't see them or when Im chasing an opponent to capture them, it would block my view. But than I just decide to turn off notifications for server news/update pings

[steady flower]

Be me, turn off notifications completely

[winged ore]

But then I would be waiting for individual user pings sometimes

[heady garden]

I just updated the game and it is asking me to get the spirits but i already got the spirits before the update. Should I remove again?

[rich silo]

did you do the thing in the constellation where you unlocked the nodes? see if that does something

[manic belfry]

where i can get more candles? like in shop

[amber dirge]

Gotta farm in beta no buying candles

[manic belfry]

but in beta is free

[amber dirge]

That's why you can't buy candles because you would just have a infinite amount and never do anything

[manic belfry]

i mean seasonal candles

[vale temple]

You can get many seaonal candles per day doing dailies and getting the bundles around the maps. We can't buy any seasonal candles in the shops as those don't exist to buy in beta. 26 season candles can be found collected per day.

[manic belfry]

so where i can get bundles?

[sonic cradle]

no bundles

[amber dirge]

You cant

[manic belfry]

i got like 80 seasonal candle in knowledge

[umbral abyss]

How?

[manic belfry]

WHAT? i think everyone know it

[sonic cradle]

I could remember i only have 55

I don't know if they added sc the day they updated and put the new season so if they did then i didn't collect it

[manic belfry]

i got that in like dev place, i don't know that name place

[sonic cradle]

in vault of knowledge?

[manic belfry]

yeah

[sonic cradle]

that's impossible. getting 80 sc in vault of knowledge

[uncut ginkgo]

Old fortune iaps in office gives seasonal candle

[manic belfry]

#beta-screenshots-videos here

[sonic cradle]

oh that's why. i already got the iaps long ago

[manic belfry]

ohh, and iam new in beta

[feral walrus]

anyone, do you know wherere spirit?

the spirit dancing

[ashen sonnet]

Inside building

[median wraith]

You mean the empress spirit? She's right behind the throne in the throne room.

[feral walrus]

thank you

and it seems that there is an error of faulty spirit, i cannot burn that spirit, is emote in the branch of friends

[median wraith]

I mean the Yuanlingshan was worn by women in the Tang Dynasty. {{as much as my knowledge goes}}

[median wraith]

Really? Perhaps, you should try restarting your game? If still doesn't work you can report it as a bug. I suppose.

[winged ore]

It is, as I already acknowledged that. But the problem is the hair. Its a clashing combo

[feral walrus]

i found it, thanks again

[wicked snow]

has anyone else had trouble in the third quest with taking the drowned spirit’s hand and then you can’t walk or move?

[median wraith]

Hmm, that is true. The essence of elegance by the Bu yao and the masculine history of the yuanlingshan does clash.. but, In terms of her character it does seemingly fit in a way?

[winged ore]

Also especially since its a double buyao.

I mean her character is a Emperor's pampered concubine/empress?

Like the ultimate hair with the bunny ear buns actually match the robe more

[ashen sonnet]

New dance emote is too cute . I wish I can float continue without stopping!
