beta-season-test-chat

[narrow plover]

There's a krill patrolling too

[stuck apex]

did u see krill's dinner plate

[narrow plover]

Yeah I saw

[somber gate]

I should perhaps have phrased myself more clearly. With the four quests we have been given, I don't find myself drawn to any story or the fate of these scavengers. Why are they looking for crystals? Who are they? Did they arrive here after all the other ancestors passed? How many different generations of ancestors are there, in that case?
But most of all, we got to test the quests over four consecutive days. This is not how the Live version will be. Most probably, like in Flight, we get one quest every other week. I don't see myself being drawn to this new area in between that.

[hot perch]

Oh yes I get you completely, I feel like there’s something lacking in the spirit narrative; Because with the previous seasons, there’s always a clear reward structure. In Ark, Sanctuary, Flight and Assembly, there’s a sense of repairing, your reward is watching the main area grow and the benefits that come with that (Paths or just visual growth), and in Dreams, TLP, and Prophecy, the reward for completion was more story and a new plot beat with a new task assigned to it. You know what your doing, you’re either helping a place, or helping unfold a story

I wish I knew more about the story, I’m helping them find treasure/resources but why, what’s it for? What’s the reward here? The spirits are so cute and I adore them but what is going on. I wish there was more to them, especially Abyss Guide since they take a heavy backseat to everything (They’re quite literally in the background of cutscenes)

I’m sure quest 5 will have answers to some of the questions, but I do wish there was a sense of “here’s the story” and/or “here’s what your actions contribute” from the start, especially with how minimal the changes to the area are (Removal of the barriers is it) and the lack of story (We only see progression in the form of how many crystals are collected, nothing else is really clear)

I will be sending feedbcak dw i just like to make that clear everytime i babble HDBDBDB
(OH MY GOD THAT MESSAGE WAS LONGER THAN I EXPECTED I USE 100 WORDS WHEN 10 WOULD DO)

[somber gate]

Lol, the 10 word version: "what? why?"
that's just two words

[hot perch]

HDHHDHD

[somber gate]

I appreciate that TGC is trying something new, but I also don't understand why or how it is supposed to fit into what we already have. Why are we all of a sudden in such dire need of sea-based shiny things?

[sage sail]

even something like showing the power diamonds at work would make it clearer what they actually are. I'm thinking like a cutscene of past ancestors putting the barriers in place and the then shallowly submerged slowly becoming more and more overtaken by nature to show the passage of time. currently the only way to know the power diamonds even have utility and purpose might be to either abstract from murals, or to just be well versed in lore from the get-go

[somber gate]

Perhaps it's the classic case of the creator knowing everything, because they made it, but forgetting that the player (or reader/watcher etc) is not in on that whole brainstorming session that preceeded the creation?

[deft quail]

In my opinion, as the new seasonal area is quite big and we want to swim underwater to every corner possible, 2 more winged lights would be perfect

[rich silo]

or maybe just wait and see what the final cutscene reveals

[near mountain]

Don’t you guys think it’s a bit inconsistent? We can breath and walk underwater in valley lake. But not in any other water 🤔 this kept bothering me honestly

[glossy shore]

It was never possible to dive under water until recently, the water at the rink is not actually water, but rather an illusion. Maybe it will change for consistency in the future

[somber gate]

Of course we can do that, but I think we should also consider what a new player or anyone who isn't in beta will be experiencing. The final cut scene seems far away for us, even though it will happen in January. Imagine in Live, it's going to be 8-10 week!

[deft quail]

the only thing I did not like with the new version of the underwater part of the crystal bay is the placement of the krills...they are too deep...I enjoyed them on the underwater tower, it gave the 4th seasonal quest more adrenaline

[tough shuttle]

It's gonna come after live release, then another 1.5 month to have the last cutscene goes live

[high atlas]

I actually agree with this. Especially since winglights replenish air. It could reward us for swimming to the farthest corners and exploring

[deft quail]

correcting...I also did not like the new ship where the season of abyss guide is...the older version was so unique...now it looks exaclty like very boat in sky

[tough shuttle]

I have doubt on how would it even possible to fit 5 people

[primal cloak]

Hello Ktjn - 3 Krill in a Trenchcoat! I think the one wing light in the tunnel is nice and enough. It's great to find it and a nice reward for searching and being curious, but I feel like too many ones would not fit the area as it gives us wing power but the season is mostly on diving... (And sorry if I shouldn't have pinged, I know it's late but you said in a message you wanted pings if I understood correctly).

[stuck apex]

the area looks so empty without krills

[deft quail]

the krills are there, but they are placed too deep in my opinion

[winter pawn]

Am I losing it? Been discussing this with a friend in beta - is the polluted geyser event in Sanctuary Islands every hour, or every 2 hours. I thought I saw a note from TGC saying that Grandma was every 2 hours unlike the polluted geyser which would be every hour.

[tulip mantle]

Geyser is every two hours

[rich silo]

geyser is at :00 - :15, grandma is :30 - :45, following the same timing structure as geyser
so both happen in the same hour

[winter pawn]

Thanks you two!

[mossy bear]

Hello and sorry for the late reply.
As I did for season of flight, I still find that one isn’t enough.
The next wedge at 200 is already an unrealistic goal considering the number of WL currently available.
One WL per season makes it even less reachable.

Another thing to consider is placement. Hiding them is fun, but players won’t risk actually losing WL to get the one in the abyss on their WL run. In fact I don’t think I would take the detour for the one WL.
Now if there were more…

Those are my thoughts. Eagerly hoping for that 12th wedge to happen someday 🙂.

Have a great day!

[winter pawn]

yeah - one in a new season is a sadly small offering. And putting it in an area that can cause you to lose other WL just to get that one is just a poor decision imo.

[mossy bear]

Yes, it’s disheartening. I’m having such a hard time with the diving mechanics too, them relying on the camera when the camera is known to have a will of its own

[real haven]

I wish I could be qualified for the test. I would like to provide advice as much as possible, but I don’t know the actual operation status. Judging from the screenshots seen in this update, it feels like the design of the season has been reduced. I prefer the old boats and underwater plants. They are more like what this season should look like. It feels like there are more corrections to be made about this season, such as more in-depth stories or more attractive costumes, but I can only do small talk now

[winter pawn]

As it stands - this is probably the first season I won't purchase. 😦

[rich silo]

you don't need to be a beta tester to submit feedback?

if you have opinions about the season, submit them anyway

[mossy bear]

I agree. I was a bit underwhelmed by it all, and then battling the diving mechanics to stay alive was just “nope”.
I’d like to explore freely but it’s impossible.

[real haven]

Provide some ideas. What attracts me most at the moment is the season of dream. The balance of maps, stories and costumes is impeccable. I think the region of the new season can narrate the meaning of the abyss in a more macroscopic way. After all, this is a wasteland and It has a profound story and is a charming place

[blazing crown]

This. I feel like the problem is that the area is too big, so they can't load it up with stuff without everyone's devices heating up. I'd honestly prefer a slight downsizing in return for more attention to detail. Sure it's big, but if what you're exploring is kind of boring then what's the point?

[rich silo]

also this channel is for discussion. If you want the devs to more easily see your opinions, post in #beta-feedback

[blazing crown]

Oh trust me, I've sent feedback

[rich silo]

oh I was addressing wayne dw

[real haven]

Thank you, I tried to provide feedback

[inner plaza]

Where are the kriilllls?! I just went down the tower and saw no krilly bois, what happened??

[rustic fiber]

they're hiding

[tulip mantle]

The big one ate the smaller ones

[lime goblet]

To be fair the reason why ultimates are so sought after, is because of their exclusivity
If you could get them in the shop after the season ends, they’d loose their value

[tulip mantle]

I don't think so, bonfire hasn't lost its value
There can be nothing like having a ultimate permanently

Oh and tgc has added all the ultimates with functionality as a spell now, except the umbrella is the basic one 👀

[uncut ginkgo]

I absolutely cannot properly convey how diminished the whole Crystal Bay feels now with that Ikea prototype looking replacement for the boat. The only thing the original needed was some small details added.

[carmine stone]

Imagine if the last quest allows us to see the Leviathan

[lime goblet]

A spell is different from having the item though, and spells cost candles and we all know how expensive and hard it is to get candles

[mossy bear]

The reason they’re so sought after is either their usefulness and/or the personal attraction towards a given cosmetic.
For example, I am underwhelmed by SoF’s ult and I don’t care for Assembly’s yellow cape, yet I have both, having played both seasons.

What I really want are the jelly umbrella, because transparency means that you see where you’re going, plus it looks hella nice; the manta cape and the musical instrument from Sanctuary.

[glossy shore]

This might become an unrelated discussion about our ults wishlist, but I really want the bonfire both for utility & sentimental value, some ults of past seasons I wasn’t so thrilled to own and have in my collection. SoA isn’t going to be

[peak cedar]

Oh, I see
I do agree, the quests are rather repetative and all we get out of them are finding new places, maybe. The only way we learn anything about the spirits is through their cutscenes.

[compact trellis]

it's worth noting that we still aren't a full month into testing yet, so there's still a decent amount of time left for improvements

[peak cedar]

Idea I had at like
3am
What if the nausicaa mask was like the sword pants from TLP?
Available for candles only after finishing the last quest, and only available in the season? That way, everyone has access to it, so the debate of increasing its time/the advantage it would giv p2p players is diminished. That way they could bring back the cracked mask as an ult maybe make it a bit fancier, but also have the nausicaa mask available for all, meaning that its functionality could be improved?
Gonna drop this in feedback, but what do yall think?
Please ping

[uncut ginkgo]

I've mentioned this idea a number of times as have others..have had no feedback from the devs on this idea unfortunately.

[peak cedar]

Dang

[hot perch]

I think I could see that working, I believe the rebreather should be more of a bonus than a necessity for diving, so a general improvement to the air system with the rebreather as a bonus for those who love the depths seems better, it also means people can’t pay to win by getting ults day one, and f2p arent barred from it, i think that plus keeping the spells available.

((Also taking back this point, I was being silly and I realized some flaws GHDHDH))

also igc rebreather mask would be cool just NOT 200 i would cry.. i cant do that again.. im not strong enough…. /lh

[uncut ginkgo]

But think of the trip the sword pants went on before being finalized as IGC obtainable. So, who knows? I think if the idea has crossed their minds and they are reluctant to go that route again, it may be do to player reception. I don't think many were jazzed about a 200 candle purchase. I saved for a long time in preparation, alot of folks probably don't have the stash or time to cr so madly.

[ornate rover]

Maybe make a spell version kinda like previous season ults that have huge utility (like bonfire) and make the spell let you breath under water for the whole duration and the mask less time under water? (like half the spell's duration)

[compact trellis]

i highly support the idea of more spell ults
i mean we have bonfire

[peak cedar]

Man I would cry if it was 200 if they went through with it
And also the f2p p2w thing, and exclusivity, it created a divide which I dont think should be something within sky. It is about friendship, so why is there such an exclusivity, and therefore decide, around ults, especially when they have functions

[languid aspen]

They already made a spell version of the rebreather mask tho. Lasts 30 minutes with 15 minutes CD

[peak cedar]

Ahhh yep I remember that

[ornate rover]

But does it let you breathe the whole duration of the spell?

[languid aspen]

It works the same as the ult mask

[peak cedar]

To my beliefe it gives you the same function, you only have 30 minutes of that function though, if that makes sense?

[hot perch]

Yeah you’re 100% right, I think the spells for utility ults is a step in the right direction! Making it more available for everyone, regardless of playstyle.

[thorny ocean]

Anyone know how to replay the quests for abyss? (Not the memeories) I wanna experience when the encounter the giant creature again

[rare glade]

since the chat is active rn— what are y’all’s opinions on abyss? me myself... i won’t beat around the bush, it feels empty and lacking the soul/polish that TGC is known for. overall, i’m not excited for it. i know this is beta and things could still change— but to me, i feel lack of excitement towards it.

[compact trellis]

not possible sadly

[hot perch]

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a way to replay quests yet

[compact trellis]

only quests activated via meditation circle are replayable
anything activated by the quest guide isn't replayable

[ornate rover]

Luckily it's in early testing, then. There is possibly more polish planned in the future, just waiting for assets and such to be completed by the Art team.

[thorny ocean]

Yeah I agree, I do think if they expand the greenery underwater and maybe add some on land I do think it would be nicer, or turning the saturation up a bit more. Again, we’re still in early stages for testing so we’ll have plenty of time for change

[rare glade]

i hope so— i pray this won’t be the final piece.

[ornate rover]

Flashbacks to the ikea mattresses we had for quite awhile in Prophecy testing

[compact trellis]

ktjn said they tend to add a bunch of changes at once and then take out what people dont like

[thorny ocean]

I….ikea mattresses???

[hot perch]

im a beta baby,

the what? i want to see tye funny mattresses

but yeah rn abyss is missing the mark a bit for me, but I excitedly await future builds and updates and polish

[thorny ocean]

Same here! It’s obvious tgc is stepping out of their comfort zone for this season, (we’re literally diving instead of flying)

[compact trellis]

we are only 3 builds into testing (and less than a month)
big expectations!

[regal hill]

200 candles for a mask that gives extra 10 seconds
hmmm

[uncut ginkgo]

We have had 5 builds

[compact trellis]

oh i have been sleeping on builds huh

[ornate rover]

Before platforms in the trials were polished by the art team, we just got basic cubes, rectangular and octagonal prisms for the platforms in water, earth, and air trials.

[uncut ginkgo]

(I'm keeping track because I have had to file the same bug reports over and over.)

[uncut ginkgo]

Chonky water trial

[tribal jungle]

I really hope it will have polish because we are already testing the new Season and entering the wind tunnel still splits hands (and servers) towards the previous seasonal area

[compact wedge]

I'm stuck on the first quest, I don't know what I'm looking for or where to find it and being underwater is so vast and alot of places I almost lost light in (some places I did)

[glossy shore]

Before the boat for Flight, the manta dragged a concrete slab

[compact trellis]

look for a pointy tower in the water

[compact wedge]

There were many, is it the one closest to the reef area?

I went in but couldn't do anything at all

[compact trellis]

if you honk there should be a little blue star where you need to go (like a spirit)

[compact wedge]

No blue star at all.

I did activate the quest, but yeah, it's like nothing works for me.
Do I have to go through ||Eden|| first? Because I'm new and didn't do that yet

[twin osprey]

Anyone upset with the new boat? I really liked the first version plus it made sense for it to have a steering wheel and the “mini house” on the boat. I dont get why they changed it

[compact wedge]

I got reset in the game (app reset) and now showing that the season has arrived and such.
Maybe that was the problem and the game didn't process me as able to go there, yet???

[hybrid crown]

I agree, I think the first version was a lot more fun and you could actually explore it. The new one is just kind of boring.

[compact wedge]

Figured it out. Was a small issue on my part, had to reset the app for things to set in out of 'tutorial mode' ig

[regal hill]

Manta dragging the whole dock lmao

the placeholder boat (not the dock) that the Flight manta used to drag was a lot bigger and had different art style from the usual sky, much like the old Abyss ship, I liked those

[neon trout]

Does anyone know how to get to a new location? Because the boat that is supposed to transport is not on the shore! What to do?

[hollow compass]

Didnt it get moved out of shipwreck and into the wasteland social area? Or are you talking about something else...?

[neon trout]

Oh, thanks. I was already scared

[valid lintel]

I took a short ride on mega krill before i was blown away by the wind

Its like it has the same ride mechanics as mantas, atleast the mega krill doesnt steal your skykid like the manta in sanctuary

[peak cedar]

Please check updates

[rare glade]

new boat my detested

[steady flower]

where did the boats go

nvm

[mental vigil]

am i the only one that think that the forcefield should be somewhere, just not everywhere? like it should either be something i can unlock if i have something or by pulling a lever(or some other constructs)?
because the forcefield seems like it should be here in worldbuilding sense

[somber gate]

What do you mean by force field?

She asked two hours later, when the conversation had died.

[compact trellis]

im guessing they mean the big one in the deep area? since the first quest one was removed

[unborn night]

I think from the sheer amount of confusion over the force fields in the first quest, and the fact that it is the first quest with the new mechanic and drowning possibility, it's good that it's a grill instead. Forcefields in sky means there is a way to burn through. A grill with no obvious split like a door is just a window that I won't bother to find a way through.

[woven pike]

I thought the colours of the force field made it pretty clear that we couldn't open them, at least in our current state: barriers we can open are orange in colour, and the ones seen in Crystal Bay were all blue. Where the potential confusion arose for me is that most force fields seen in Sky have some kind of condition that eventually allows you to either burn through them or remove them -- but in this case, we were meant to find a way around them to deactivate them from the inside (i.e. I was half-thinking of looking for some kind of switch in the first quest before I noticed a convenient crack that I could just swim through).

[mint dove]

Actually the forcefield in the first quest and the one in front of, say, office are still different in color
I agree with it being changed to a grill

[woven pike]

They are a bit of a different shade, yeah (though I'm not sure if it's the ocean tint affecting the blue) -- but it clearly wasn't orange, which is why I was immediately clear on it not being openable with a candle (which we can't take out underwater to begin with)

[mint dove]

That’s true but that’s also part of the problem since I expected there to be another mechanic to get through it
Like the 4 player door in vault

[somber gate]

I have to confess I didn’t understand that these barriers were supposed to be “force fields”. I just though they were similar to constellation barriers, but had a different colour under water.

[woven pike]

Oh, I call constellation barriers "force fields" as well, they just have that sort of "energy wall" look that makes me think of that wording

[sand forum]

How long will the last task of the new season open?

[tulip mantle]

In January

[regal hill]

the tutorial called them spirit gates, so the term kinda stuck to me

[somber gate]

I remember when they were introduced

[paper turtle]

How do you get to the seasonal area I am so confused

[uncut ginkgo]

• read #beta-announcements patch notes or
  -scroll up to find answer

[oak fog]

So how will we get the seasonal gift if it costs two seasonal hearts and it charged 3 hearts for the other ones before it 🥲

[wise bone]

you can't, unfortunately because it's beta, tgc doesn't compensate for things like that

[limpid badger]

this is beta, things like that happen

[devout fractal]

Yeah oof

[wise bone]

it happened in assembly too, i believe

[limpid badger]

you can still buy the mask as a spell though, so theres still an option for you to test it

[clear kindle]

No coesmetics polish

[slate valve]

I think the priority rn is that the season works properly--
Maybe the cosmetics won't change, maybe they will, we just gotta WAFO

[mint citrus]

whats the season rn

[slate valve]

In beta? Season of Abyss

[mint citrus]

oh what does it feature

[slate valve]

Bugs

[solar lark]

A lot, please read though #beta-announcements

[ocean aurora]

The area appears to be called Treasure reef now as opposed to Crystal bay

[devout fractal]

Yep

[fierce fox]

there's a second wl! check the lighthouse

[hot yarrow]

Uh, so, uh, guys -- where did the boat go

Ooooh nvm, missed that part of the update

[compact trellis]

ooh ouch ow i heard someone get krilled somwhere

[compact trellis]

THEY TOOK MY SUGGESTION? 👀 well.. probably other people suggested it too

[compact trellis]

wait, it might just be moved
i alreayd have it for some reason
or they swapped them? ill have to go check

[quaint willow]

Name of seasonal area changed to treasure reef?(I only looked at screenshots for now)
New name seems more fitting to me

[dark basin]

If only it were more like an actual reef

[jovial brook]

Diving is definitely easier now, since there's more places to get oxygen (the flowers)
I reached the depth of the area where the two krills are patrolling

[uncut ginkgo]

The swimming got soo much better wow

[fierce fox]

marking the bubble spots with the underwater light blooms is nice too, you get to use your boosts more

[hybrid crown]

Did they make the boat even smaller??

[compact jay]

sky kids dont lift, imagine carrying a huge boat

[hot perch]

The underwater light blooms are so lovely! They’ve saved me a few times already

[umbral shard]

Is the boat supposed to be available in the 🛒?

[compact jay]

I guess so, since its IAP

but also not sure if some people cant access it, I got it as a bug with other cosmetics a few days ago

[umbral shard]

I can’t see it so I am not sure if 2nd run of the event already began or not. I did not see the boat in round 1.

Hmmm quest 4 did not reset for me with the update. Anyone else?

[compact jay]

you might wanna check what Ktjn just said in #beta-discussion

[carmine badge]

I miss the old coral reef

[clear kindle]

The only thing that I’m don’t liking is the dark capes the rest amazing

[devout fractal]

I don’t too much imo. I think if like they made the sponges and sea stars look like light creatures itd be better…?

Cus both of those things are animals as i understand it and i think itd be neat

If they do that and implement them back in though alongside the light blooms thoo 🍽️

[unborn agate]

Will miss the starfishes

[devout fractal]

Let me. Sketch smth up

[uncut ginkgo]

I didn't care so much for the pink coral additions but the swaying seaweed(?) was nice. I think it'd look great with these new light plants.

[compact trellis]

the coral/seaweed/stars were REALLY nice they just needed some more texture and to be less bright

they looked kinda plasticy ig. too smooth
but they were veyr lively

[devout fractal]

Posted one of my doodles on it thoughts?

[unborn agate]

In which channel?

[devout fractal]

#beta-screenshots-videos

[compact jay]

I'd say they added a lot of diversity? it looked more varied so I definitely noticed the contrast in this current build

[unborn agate]

Nice , a bit less bright, as it's under water would be better .

I think different colors of satrfishes and trees would be good for the map

[devout fractal]

Yeah i kinda just wanted to get the concept across skjdjfkc

[compact trellis]

whn i say they looked too plasticy i meant they were a little too smooth and untextured. other than that i LOVED them

[devout fractal]

Ohh i see

[compact trellis]

id love to have botht he little lieafy things and the other decorations they took out

[devout fractal]

Ohh fair

I like the idea but i honestly would rather have diff coloring for the sponges+stars. The kelp might be fine though…?

[blazing crown]

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like people are going to get "married" by the grat guide like the set up now--
Like I'm not saying people should but I'm sensing the jokes now

[devout fractal]

What about divorce 🌞

Maybe even megadivorce

[ornate lake]

What if we 😩 got megaultradivorced next to gratitude guide

[regal hill]

oh, we have 2 winged lights now in the Crystal Bay Treasure Reefs

[devout fractal]

What 🤔 if ❓we 😩 got 🌝megaultradivorced 🏃‍♀️next to 👯‍♀️ gratitude guide

[unborn agate]

Is it possible the get the new wl?

[lime goblet]

Wait what’s the fourth quest update? Mine still shows it as completed ;-;

[unborn agate]

Anyone.. ?

[proven monolith]

I am curious too . Cause mine is the same

[lime goblet]

And I still don’t see the days of love stuff in the shop either

[unborn agate]

sigh

[fierce fox]

crystal bay/treasure reef will be another yeti slope/hermit valley situation

[limpid badger]

the new plants look so much better now, the starfish etc looked super weird

[lime goblet]

I can see that happening too...

[limpid badger]

did they,.. really remove bubble spots?

nvm the bubbles just glitched out

[lime goblet]

I love the addition of fog in the area now

Waitttt guys, you can now turbo underwater using the flight icon

[livid rune]

Crystal reef / treasure bay

[lime goblet]

Ohhh and also flick = faster swimming movement

[lime goblet]

I already keep flying to the old entrance location for the season XD

[shell fossil]

Quick question for folks--is the boat to the seasonal area yellow or red for anyone?

[fierce fox]

no banana or tomato boat for me at least 🍌🍅

[tribal jungle]

I loved yellow boat, it had such a spiritual transformation lore feel

[shell fossil]

What about a strawberry boat? No strawberry boat either?

[fierce fox]

not even a strawberry boat

[shell fossil]

Hopefully you're able to get your daily serving of fruit somewhere else then 😔

[uncut ginkgo]

No bright boat for me, just bright flashes of light everywhere.

[umbral shard]

Anyone else who still did not dare to spend their season hearts in case the ultimates change? 😂

[regal hill]

no Strawberry Boat on my end

[cunning hearth]

i really like the darkness in the abyss now

[uncut ginkgo]

I'm pleased by how overcast it is. 😊

[cunning hearth]

also the light plants (and the boost button)is a god send, that's what i said about strategic oxygen spots

[umbral shard]

Boost button?

[cunning hearth]

boost in water, press the flap button

[regal hill]

jump gives small boost, flap makes you a torpedo

[lime goblet]

Is the new build not released for android yet? Maybe that’s why the quest is still completed

[cunning hearth]

not sure what they mean on everyone getting the update cause android already has it

[tribal jungle]

They told they will need to reset 4th quest manually when the respective engineer will be available. They will announce when it's done.

[ruby creek]

I wanted to suggest redesigning the oxygen mask. Maybe instead of having those “breathing horns” (or whatever they’re called) be designed like a regulator? (Scuba divers use this to breathe under water) Like two round air filters on each side with oxygen hoses. Also, it would be nice to design a mechanic to have your avatar ascend quicker to the surface when running low on oxygen. Much like a BCD (Buoyancy Control Device).

[vale temple]

You should put into #beta-feedback if you haven't alr :]

[uncut ginkgo]

Personally I like the idea of being able to ascend quicker but I feel something resembling a gas mask might be triggering for some folks.

[ruby creek]

Ah yes I see, I just realized what I wanted to say but I couldn’t find the right word for it. I meant it would act as if the breathing apparatus was designed as a “regulator”. It’s a device that scuba divers use to breathe under water for long periods of time. Normally, the average diver can be under water (30-40ft) for at least 3-4 hours. The amount of PSI (pounds per square inch) can be around 200-300lbs. Sometimes even more, up to 2000PSI.

I know this because I in fact am a semi-certified Scuba Diver

[uncut ginkgo]

Ah, okay. Yeah, I'm not sure where they got the design for the mask from. But there are some ideas 🤭 I wonder if they were trying to come up with something obvious enough but not too life-like? Either way, we really need to be able to ascend quicker. Maybe they can make the plants do double duty and act as an ascension aid if we happen to get close to them on the way up...though it might be too cumbersome when you're fleeing for your life

[ruby creek]

Well we just hold down the button and up we go

Like maybe a gameplay tip like “To ascend quicker, hold down the button” or something of the sort. Or “to get more oxygen tap your screen 3 times”

Or, better yet, a toggle option for us to choose the amount of desired air we need just in case some people decide to go candle running underwater lol 😂

[peak cedar]

Sorry if this is off topic-
But after the update, when I swim into the tower as soon as I go below the level where the hole is half covered by a fallen pillar, everything except my skykid goes black, and when I deep call nothing shows up. Anyone else experiancing the same?
Also the wl ontop of the tower only has the outline, yet I havent collected it. And the 4th quest is not available for replay

[frosty dawn]

I got very lucky, dived for awhile and came back up just as I was loosing oxygen so my wing broke off but it didn't despawn since I caught it quick enough

[hard dagger]

Progress on the shells giving you wax? Nothing gets added to your candle meter still, but the candle meter does appear now

[regal hill]

the shells give you light and air, idk if it is intentional that they shouldn't give wax
reporr it anyway

[lime goblet]

So how do we get the days of love boat?

[rotund cradle]

Check your inbox

[lime goblet]

Oh wow thank youu!!

[hard dagger]

I think they're supposed to give wax, but they still don't just yet

It's all of the blue light, too, not just the light from the shells

[honest jacinth]

I feel like the light bug gotten worse. I tried to dive down to where krill is and colors flashing before it lights out and pitch black

[uncut ginkgo]

It's certainly worse for me. I had so many problems, every build. Please report all of these problems. Are you on Android?

[honest jacinth]

Yes, I'm on android

[uncut ginkgo]

Me too. It's so bad I can't even go very far down the tower before it's all just blinding color.

[honest jacinth]

I'll bug report it once I have time. Hopefully the light bug ease up next few builds

[spare onyx]

I feel so bad about the boat
About all the boat
Good news for me is now I can save money in live, all the changes so far killed my desire to spend money for them

[waxen oyster]

That's a big, please report it in #beta-bugs-ios or #beta-bugs-android

[ripe tangle]

a quick question, is it not available to get the cape of fortune that is located in the office?

[raven oyster]

Question, is the turtle gone?

[peak cedar]

Ik it's a bug, I was asking if any had the same issues is all

[waxen oyster]

You can look through the bug reports to see what others posted, maybe you'll see someone else having the same issue

[primal drum]

Guys can someone re-do the 4th quest?

[rigid haven]

I personally can’t :o0

[peak cedar]

I think were waiting on the update to say we can?

[primal drum]

#beta-announcements

[peak cedar]

:0
O my mine isnt showing it

[primal drum]

Oh wait there was a message

[glossy shore]

That was an accident, it’s not ready yet

[primal drum]

~Maybe they delete it~ ohh ok ok thanks!

[glossy shore]

Yes it was deleted

[primal drum]

Now it suppose to be available

[peak cedar]

Me, whose screen goes black when I dive to deep:

????
Emoji r u ok????

[ruby creek]

Ok I was wondering when will the next invite wave be? Or is this on a “as needed” basis?

[peak cedar]

It's on an as-needed basis, and considering we had an invite wave about a month ago, I say we wont have another for a few months

[honest jacinth]

Me too

[primal drum]

Now I’m scared to swim with that black krill out there But so far it’s my favorite quest! Great Job TGC and I know this should be on feedback but I just wanted to share my fears

[uncut ginkgo]

This is ridiculous. I cannot complete the quest because there are so many bugs everything flashes or goes completely black.

[glad crater]

OMG. I just released the mother of all krills 🥲😢 Welp..

[slate valve]

they what now

[cunning hearth]

so basically there is a giant underwater cave that is shut to keep the leviathan in, but your skykid takes out the power diamond keeping the giant gate shut and the leviathan escapes the cave and goes into the depths
you can actually see the leviathan diving into the hole between the two structures

[subtle prairie]

that's the price you have to pay for being in beta, you play early builds so you can report these bugs to the devs
imagine how much angrier you'd be if this made it to live

[uncut ginkgo]

Yes. I know. I've been a beta tester since Prophecy.

[glad crater]

I think this spirits are full of greediness. They don't know what their doing. They're fall has something to do about it. Tss tss.

[wraith cedar]

OMG IT'S TERRIFYING

[primal drum]

I was like “Ok I’m dead” When I shut down and took the Diamond well the map turned red

[devout fractal]

Is anyone else having trouble finding any entrances to the room w the diamond 🌞

The tower entrance, mural tunnel entrance, entrance above next to the tower and the deep sea “entrance” are all blocked off

[honest jacinth]

Every entrance has been closed off. Like what...

[devout fractal]

There is probably A way but i’m just so horribly lost

I assume theres a way to open them but like. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[cunning hearth]

there is a diamond you need to snatch above the deep sea entrance, and it will open

[inner plaza]

X2, im so confused about that quest :/

[devout fractal]

This is as hard as my algebra 2 homework

[wraith cedar]

have u tried honking? i forgor but when i did honk i was able to find it

[devout fractal]

Ohh. I know where the thing to complete it is and i did use honk to locate it

I just can’t. Find a way in 🧍

[wraith cedar]

oh well the first diamond i grabbed it and then the door underneath it opened

[devout fractal]

Ihh

Ohh can you. Give me a vague idea of where to look. I just don’t even know where to begin💀

WAIT

[upper gust]

There are now 2 WL

[devout fractal]

OHHHH 💀IM SORRY SKDJDJFJDJ 🤸

Uh. Yeah no still no luck

God this is

[wraith cedar]

what part are you stuck on?

[devout fractal]

I just can’t get in

I cannot find any diamond that i could open the doors with either

Honking doesn’t seem to help unless im misinterpreting the whole thing

[wraith cedar]

there's a really deep area between most of the buildings, if you honk down there you should be able to find the first diamond

when you honk a blue marker will show on your screen that shows where it is

[devout fractal]

Is it embedded in that huge door somewhere?

[honest jacinth]

Oooh, I found out where it is. You literally need to swim down, follow the light seaweed(?) stuck at the building down below

[devout fractal]

Ohhh

[cunning hearth]

are you sure you are at the correct door? the correct door is in the ravine

[devout fractal]

This is beyond me i’m gonna take a break and go do some other stuff

[honest jacinth]

Sadly, after I released the megalodon, light bug strikes and I cant see anything except my skid

[devout fractal]

I feel pretty stressed w it+algebra stuff so

I think yeah ill take a break to clear my cache so to speak 🌚

[cunning hearth]

don't worry you can always try later 👍

[rugged heath]

wheres the season boat again

[hard dagger]

In Wasteland's social space

[rugged heath]

the beginning of gw?

[haughty silo]

Anyone know how to finish the 4th quest

[hard dagger]

Yes, the area with the closet

[cobalt cobalt]

Is there a way to see the leviathan again after completing the quest? I remember before it circled around and you could see it, but no sign of it so far

[carmine flint]

hey, how to do the 4rth quest? the roof thing isn't opening, did it change that much or is this a bug?

[haughty silo]

Find a way

[rich silo]

@crisp basin I had to wait for the cooldown to post it

[crisp basin]

mmmmm beeg fissh

[rich silo]

BEEG FEEEESH

[uncut ginkgo]

Just got an idea when the boat was going underwater while taking pics
A submarine as ultimate would be epic for this season
Allows you to take you and your friend dive deep in sea

[silver bridge]

Does the leviathan have any sounds?

[gloomy tundra]

How many wings in Treasure Reef?

[peak cedar]

*crystal bay, and 2 as of now

[gloomy tundra]

Excuse me, What's name the new seasonal map? I know it as a Treasure Reef in new update..

[peak cedar]

@ornate lake if you swim down far enough outside the tower you can get into the Leviathans room
At least i could before the quest update, havent had a chance to try yet now

[ornate lake]

yesyesyesyesyeysyesy

[peak cedar]

Its called Crystal Bay, im unsure who would have told you otherwise, but in beta currently it is called Crystal Bay
Ah! i havent checked since the update you may be right-

[silver bridge]

So is there a treasure there then? 🤔

[peak cedar]

The spirits were tresure hunters, and we're told they found tresure and we must find what they did, so my best guess is yes

[compact trellis]

i prefer Crystal Bay yes

[waxen oyster]

I found a way to not lose WL while underwatet!

[potent quarry]

The boat look so small now, i can't play pirates no more with my friends

[peak cedar]

OOH OOH IK THIS ONE MEEE MEEE

[waxen oyster]

When you are about to lose a wl, make sure you are directly under a ceiling or under a prop like the tent. The wl that jumps off comes back to you. The wl float up, but any obstacle will stop it and it'll come back

[waxen oyster]

What's yours?

[peak cedar]

:0
Oooo clever
I was gonna be silly and just say 'dont drown '

[waxen oyster]

Pff 🤣

[potent quarry]

I have my own portable oxygen

My friend

[waxen oyster]

I don't have friends 😭

That are online rn

[urban coral]

I just drown… want to explore… rip

[waxen oyster]

Except Holla but they were up to their own thing

[potent quarry]

Make some plans together

Earlier we were trying to investigate the big scary horrendous krill thingy

[peak cedar]

:0
LEVIATHAN MY BOYY

[waxen oyster]

I think everyone and their dog is on to that thing

I wonder if it makes rounds like the previous version

[urban coral]

I think it’s gone now after I did the quest :(

[waxen oyster]

Oh no

[potent quarry]

The quest was confusing since the map changed a bit

It took me 10 minutes of screaming where to go with my friends

[waxen oyster]

I think I spent an hour wandering around

[urban coral]

Yeah… it was kinda annoying trying to figure out where to start

[waxen oyster]

I followed a rando who appeared to be smarter than me

[potent quarry]

The past quest was you waltzing down the tower

Take the thingy and done, now it's a maze

[waxen oyster]

Yeah

[urban coral]

I just kept honking and trying to head toward the light

[waxen oyster]

Imma have to take my friend who's afraid of diving through the quest again

[waxen oyster]

Ah I did the same, but it was wrong lol

[urban coral]

I’m still not a fan of swimming… or drowning

[waxen oyster]

I lost 6 wl lol

[potent quarry]

My friend were afraid too, she's asked me to go together

I love this season so much, finally playing instrument under the water and died from drowning

[urban coral]

Yeah… I’m under 150 again

[waxen oyster]

It was fun tho

[urban coral]

I found a bubble patch way down. But I lost 2 lights trying to surface…lol

[waxen oyster]

Wow playing underwater... Pick a spot where you don't lose light

[potent quarry]

Alright wish me luck

I'm about to search this big Leviathan after the quest alone

[waxen oyster]

@urban coral

[waxen oyster]

Same

[peak cedar]

Gl yall!!
I'm sure he has to be in the map somewhere, from experiance ik the krill, whales and manta always are

[urban coral]

Yeah… I try to do that too but after a while I just said what the hell and lost the light

[waxen oyster]

Ahaha you just get annoyed and give up on saving those wl

[cunning hearth]

i had 20wl at the beginning of the season now im at 10

[urban coral]

I just want to explore unencumbered… it’s why this season doesn’t do it for me. I’m always in fear of drowning

[wraith cedar]

i like the challenge. i find it more engaging, personally

[urban coral]

During the quests I don’t mind the challenge, but when I’m just looking around :/

[wraith cedar]

yea i think they should buff the mask more maybe

[urban coral]

The mask is so ugly (in my opinion) it really should make you super scuba man or something.

[stuck hornet]

Looks like the Star Wars sand people mask

[wraith cedar]

i think part of what makes it look a little weird for me is that the eyes seem a little more wide-set than other masks

[devout fractal]

I think its just a matter of palette change

The respirator could be darker and have lots of green highlights like in the gems

Also maybe replace the jiggly things with more power diamonds cus they look super weird

[stuck hornet]

I do. Not know. It looks nicely utilitarian

[peak cedar]

^^^
Looks like the nausicaa masks to me n I love it

[soft zodiac]

The jiggly things had always threw me off
Like, I feel that they shouldn't jiggle and be solid-

[stuck hornet]

Maybe their are full of organic air purification material

[wraith cedar]

tbh i think it would look kinda cool if they removed the things sticking out, but i guess it wouldn't really look like a respirator tho. i dont actually dislike the design but not too much goes with it, so i would probably only wear it for when i go to the seasonal area

[stuck hornet]

This could be important wear for running after little brothers when they bug you too much lol

[wraith cedar]

lol

[compact trellis]

i feel like the respirator jiggling is a bug somehow
like they accidenatlly enabled beard physics on it

[peak cedar]

Alas, I could not find the big boy either 💔
But I only lost one star thanks to ur trick

[waxen oyster]

I just gave up and lost like 20 total haha. But glad the trick helped!

[twin osprey]

jesus christ was that a mama krill??

[uncut ginkgo]

Is there trouble going on after the 4th quest?

[tough shuttle]

Oh noooo that big boi has ||red eyes||

[compact trellis]

changed from gentle boi to hellspawn

[cunning hearth]

now that its smaller elder manta should be around its size

[waxen oyster]

I think it's as big as the Eden whale

[tough shuttle]

4th quest feels like a completely new thing and it. is. supreme.

That big revamp of the building is just 👍

there's more recover spots outside/inside the tower, I don't even need a mask

[peak cedar]

EDEN WHALE????
OOOOH that one yea

[waxen oyster]

Couldn't find the big krill boi after going super deep and all around the outside. I hope it comes back

[burnt remnant]

That leviathan better be krills' predator

Or unless it's already in the entrance mural which contradicts what I want for the leviathan lmao

[cunning hearth]

it probably comes back in the 5th quest..... with malicious intent

[waxen oyster]

[burnt remnant]

Can't wait for lore 😌

There's two wls? I've only seen one which is the top of the tower :||

[uncut ginkgo]

Hello guys?

nice to meet all guys☺

[slate valve]

Welcome to the beta channels! If you want a more active chat, please head to #general-sky-discussion or #cozy-sky-discussion

[tough shuttle]

Oh the deepest part with bubble bunches is blocked right now?

no bonking sound but I can't go further downwards

[high atlas]

||The leviathan coming out of the door when we opened it literally gave me goosebumps goodness||

[frosty dawn]

well just finished the 4th quest again and all i can say is ||that leviathan scared the honk out of me but I really hope it shows up in the final quest ||

[waxen oyster]

You can get around the barrier, just swim to the side and you'll find the way through

[tough shuttle]

tysm

[frosty dawn]

(also swim down a nice little corridor bit only to see a red light at the end appear and an enraged krill sound is terrifying..very fast backpedaling occurred (the chibi who triggered it was fine at least but my heart was not))

[slate brook]

||I am in fear for people wanting to hug or kiss that leviathan||

[fluid owl]

wait.. how do you get inside of the tower for 4th quest? entrance on the top is closed now and on the bottom (in the water) there’s just a wall

[frosty dawn]

go down into the water, on the right side of the wall theres an entrance with a glowing plant to recharge your air in, it's not the easiest to spot but it is there

[fluid owl]

okay! i’ll try it now, thank you

[soft galleon]

How many wing in New Area?

[slate brook]

||so far I saw two||

[fluid owl]

still can’t find it.. can you please send a video of where is it?

[tulip mantle]

I love that we can actually go in the buildings and explore

[safe spindle]

Sorry to bother.
Is it true the boat where the quests take place, the cool looking fishing boat, has been changed to just be the normal boat that is scaled up and the props (like the map table and whatnot) plopped on top of it?

[tulip mantle]

Where did the giant krill go after the quest? Is it in a oob?

[bold flint]

I cant wait to play the new season in my live account. The swimming is cool and all that but when it comes live, i will dawn the greatfull shell collector outfit and procceed to greatfully collection shells underwater.😊❤

[uncut ginkgo]

They changed the name to Treasure Reef… 😮

[safe spindle]

Really?
Can anyone that knows about the beta leave feedback, or only players that have access to the beta?

Because the ship going from cool and unique, to something that looked like it was slapped together last minute is so silly.
It is like evolving, but backwards!

[hard dagger]

You're free to leave feedback on beta content if you're not a beta player

[safe spindle]

Thanks and much appreciated.

[noble stag]

||what about a boop on the snoot||

[main niche]

||i would like to boop the snoot||

[ornate lake]

More leviathan kith for us

[fierce fox]

||I don't think your wl would enjoy the boop on the snoot||

[hard dagger]

||I will sacrifice all my winged light to boop the snoot||

[main niche]

||shhhhh they'll love it||

[red kiln]

|| a sacrifice that's worth it in the end ||

[tulip mantle]

Does the giant krill eat other krill 👀

[slate brook]

Ok y’all are scaring me

[sharp plinth]

what the hell is going on here

[uncut ginkgo]

Just done with the new Season Quest 4 .... its more exciting compared to the previous one and good thing you added the Jelly Plants .... this Quest 4 version should go to live .... Its fun finding where the entrance is 😅😅😅 #beta-feedback

Im still manifesting an extra 60 seconds of oxygen when using the Ultimate Gift Mask .... Hmmm or 30 seconds perharps 🤗🤗

[lime goblet]

Omg that quest was so good >< and scary, it was really had to find though the places at first, but finding them finally felt rewarding and the reveal at the end 😱😱

I was still expecting something to happen >< when we turned in the quest.. but nothing did still
…. Disasters pending guys, these guys are all celebrating and Jurassic park bout to happen here

Definitely the most intriguing season for me

[lime goblet]

Sameeeee 😱😱😱😱😱

I am a bit sad that they changed the boat ;-;

[silver bridge]

Which one? The season one or love boat?

[lime goblet]

The season one ;-;

The double decker ship 🚢

I feel kind of bad now when I realize, in time, this area would be abandoned too :( I wish we get updates to seasonal areas... I’m totally down for a season in an already existing seasonal area :(

[cunning hearth]

well when the shells get fixed it will be a viable candle running spot

[regal dagger]

How do you all find swimming straight up through the tower floor holes now?

[cunning hearth]

toggle button

[regal dagger]

What happens when you toggle to rise and get stuck against a fallen pillar or ceiling? Do you find easy enough to get out of that position?

[tulip mantle]

You have to position your skykid just right i don't switch mode i just angle my camera towards the hole and swim

[cunning hearth]

toggle off and adjust

[fluid owl]

is leviathan still passive? yk after tgc adding these red eyes it just became creepier

thanks!

[tulip mantle]

It can't eat you... yet

[regal dagger]

Just me then my camera forces zoom in and find it really hard to direct to swim out of being stuck when stuck in a ceiling even after toggling modes

[lethal geyser]

Beta is crashing everytime I press the constellation button

[tulip mantle]

Oh the camera zooms onto your skykid? That was fixed for be two builds ago

[tulip mantle]

#beta-known-issues

[cunning hearth]

i hope the leviathan doesn't do anything to the spirits on the final quest....

[tulip mantle]

Spirits are already dead all damaged it could do is to us

[regal dagger]

What do you think the fifth quest is if we have just released the kraken leviathan?

[tulip mantle]

I hope we see it again 😩

[cunning hearth]

the leviathan thanks us with a big big hug because it was lonely being trapped and we freed it

[tulip mantle]

Also sky engineers must be of god tier because they built the huge structure underwater and trapped the krills

[regal dagger]

They look like that built the final level boss for sure

[tulip mantle]

Btw who ate the turtle

[cunning hearth]

they built cities in the sky and borderline space(eden) , giant fortresses n temples, they can afford to make a lot of gigantic vanity projects (citadel the statues), giant ships and the diamond technology itself (probably the cause of all this progress) is pretty impressive by itself

[oblique bronze]

Tbh I kinda find the swimming controls very finicky too 😂. Can’t get used to the camera directed controls wheeze

[regal hill]

is it safe to say tha the turtle in the same realm as now?

[vague spindle]

boat dead.I cant find it

[sage sail]

a couple builds ago it moved to wasteland's social space

[narrow plover]

Huh? The top of the tower is closed???

The other side entrance is also closed???

[tribal jungle]

Read the past few #beta-announcements thoroughly

[narrow plover]

Yeah the mission is repayable but I already started the mission....

The backend update finished yeah?

[rustic fiber]

they put a hat on big tower?

[tough shuttle]

dive deeper

[cunning hearth]

the tower has its top hatch closed partially to trap a wing light

[narrow plover]

Checked deeper, they really changed the mission a lot eh?

And the tower

AND THE MASSIVE DARK THING IS IN HERE NOW OH GOD

Still looking around the environment I see those village of dreams ski lift pylons

[rustic fiber]

I really wanna update and see but using a hotspot isnt the best since it takes hours

[hollow crown]

Do you have a seesaw or a swing? My shop doesn't have it.

[rustic fiber]

Some peoples shops are bugged i think

[hollow crown]

There is feedback from players about the boat. I just got it today.

[thorn wigeon]

Have you checked in the office? Swing and seesaw should be available only there? Correct me if I'm wrong

[hollow crown]

Not in the office either.

[thorn wigeon]

Then it must be a bug, I recommend reporting it :]

[hollow crown]

Report?

Where can I give them feedback?

[rustic fiber]

#report-a-live-bug to report bugs (you can report beta bugs you just need to choose beta when skybot dms you)

[hollow crown]

thank you

[glossy shore]

I don’t want to finish quest 4

The Leviathan model has no collision, so I went inside and saw there were a lot of teeth/tongue, but the screenshot I took wasn’t clear

[cunning hearth]

i still have no idea how to get into the cave without opening the gate

[honest jacinth]

The momma krill reminds me of morray eel for some reason

[narrow plover]

You can actually find the leviathan?

[glossy shore]

I glitch from the surface

[narrow plover]

I saw that it entered the gate but there's literally no where it could go

[glossy shore]

You freed it, so I’m not sure where it went to. Safe to assume its good as gone

[narrow plover]

Oh so we freed it

[cunning hearth]

there is a hole in the ravine, in the freeing cutscene it curves into the hole

[glossy shore]

I noticed that too, but going there it was nowhere to be seen (oops ping)

[slate brook]

I am not sure if that thing is huggable or boopable or kissable y’all scare me

[narrow plover]

Also they added an invisible wall on the bottom but didn't remove the patch of bubbles

[glossy shore]

It’s a friend

[cunning hearth]

its gone for now

[slate brook]

I’m still scared of it

[limpid badger]

well,.. new version of the 4th quest is definitely less scary, which is kind of sad

[cunning hearth]

well the previous 4th quest... most people didn't even notice the leviathan looming

[limpid badger]

i was hoping there would be more done with the leviathan, fingers crossed for next quests

[vague spindle]

thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[sick harness]

croissant .... it reminds me of tht

[bitter idol]

Does it bother anyone that the mask jiggles when you run around

[uncut ginkgo]

The breathing apparatus mask? It bothers me too. It doesn't need to jiggle. Not everything needs to jiggle.

[topaz mantle]

i didnt get into beta, it was full when i found the invite but i'm looking forward new season and a possible undyne cosplay for me!

(aaaa keyboard ded)

[prime umbra]

I want to dive in Santuary island but the water isn’t deep enough

[woven pike]

Putting into feedback later, but is the entrance/routing to the 4th quest vastly different to before? the two routes i used to go in are both blocked off

[glossy shore]

Yes

[tough shuttle]

It's completely revamped

[limpid badger]

Best tip is to forget what you knew about the 4th quest before it got changed and just follow the star when you honk

[tough shuttle]

me: No, no way the entrance could be right ther- IT IS THERE

[stuck apex]

is the golden eel supposed to drop oxygen? or are those blue particles just decorative? because it doesn't help with oxygen. just trying to understand if it's a bug or a feature

[desert hinge]

That's it am deleting beta can't handle no phone 😭😭

[silver bridge]

When in doubt file a bug report. I think it should be dropping oxygen bubbles

[molten sorrel]

Man... this is literally me 🤣

[stuck apex]

what do u guys think of new name? Crystal Bay became Treasure Reef

[limber shadow]

I personally like crystal bay better 🤔

[prime umbra]

if we could play hide and seek underwater that would be cool, sadly i cant do that while underwater, also i cant play instrument there
gonna feedback this

[waxen oyster]

Crystal Bay sounds better imo

[woven pike]

"Treasure Reef" as a name sounds a bit weird to me when the season isn't really pirate-themed, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about "Crystal Bay" either when there're hints that the water level wasn't as high as it is now at one point (e.g. stairs deep under the water near the giant doors)

[slim abyss]

Crystal Reef

[waxen oyster]

Did the world of sky experience global warming I'd say those are not hints but very obvious signs that water levels used to be much lower

[prime umbra]

wait i thought this is about flood

i still dont know the story of this season

[woven pike]

But the murals in the area indicate that there were deep sea creatures in the area back when the murals were made as well, and there's also the question of what that room behind the giant doors were for if it wasn't a giant fish tank to begin with...so then there's another question of whether parts of the area are newer than the others, if there's an obvious mismatch between the designs and purpose of architecture that's closely put together

Still, I'm just kind of like "this area wasn't always underwater, so wouldn't it have had another name besides Crystal Bay or Treasure Reef before it got the Atlantis treatment?"

[umbral shard]

I agree with you, it looks like a cataclysmic event of sorts flooded this area

[waxen oyster]

The spirits exploring the area are not the ppl who built it. So I think those ruins are much more ancient than our treasure hunters

[woven pike]

...hmm, a scenario I didn't think of earlier: if they actually had the technology to flood or drain the area at will. That'd explain why they might still have a need for stairs in areas that are underwater, if they could've drained it down

[woven pike]

That's absolutely a given, yeah. The lore of the season feels like it's much more about the area than the spirits themselves, who just look like they're here to salvage valuables

[viscid plinth]

imo i like Crystal Bay much better
from what I understand it wasn't always flooded, and it seems like it was a mountain range before hand, or something similar. I think "Bay" makes more sense than "Reef"

[silver bridge]

Sky Nuclear site #1 would be appropriate name then 😁

From what they have been experimenting here... And in the process seem to have crested/attracted a mammoth worm

[umbral shard]

Or the area was repurposed after it got flooded. As I understand the Sky ancestors migrated from another realm to what Sky kingdom is today

[crude pivot]

Why is there nothing in my candle shop?

[umbral shard]

btw kudos for the reimagined 4th quest, I really enjoyed it, even with my fear of deep water

[limber shadow]

This... I screamed in excitement when I did the quest. Especially when the animation happened. So dramatic

[umbral shard]

Suspenseful enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, but not scary to the point that one would abandon the quest (like I did in the previous iteration).

[viscid plinth]

everything in Beta is free! so there's no candle packs in our shops, but if you're talking about IAP maybe you bought them already?

[limber shadow]

There was a bug that makes some players to get all IAPs without buying it. Check your wardrobe, is it already there? Also, check your in-game inbox

[prime umbra]

that reminds me, i missed the infinite AP bug

[crude pivot]

Thank!

[tall quail]

Is the color bug a known issue or does it only affect some devices? It's almost impossible for me to complete the 4th quest bcs everything around me keeps changing color and at one point got black and I couldnt see anything, but just hear krills lurking around me 😢

[stuck apex]

not listed in known issues so... i guess u should report it

[uncut ginkgo]

PLEASE report it. I have this problem and it has gotten worse each build. I cannot finish the 4th quest myself. I'm really worried that this will not be resolved if enough players don't report it. Everyone who is experiencing this, please take the few mins and file a bug report.

[echo verge]

Why boat for teleport to new season area is disappearing?

[uncut ginkgo]

The boat was moved a number of builds ago. Please check wasteland social area to the right and remember to read #beta-announcements patch notes when downloading a new build. It was mentioned there.

[livid rune]

So 4th quest confirms that spirits released the dark dragons into golden wasteland through ignorance and greed? Cant wait to see papa krill destroy everything

[woven pike]

I got the impression they were studying them in the seasonal area: the room where you release the krill and the big leviathan-eel looks like an observatory to me. If that relates to how they started appearing in Golden Wasteland, feels more like "science gone wrong" or a containment breach, because the quests so far don't really make it seem like the krill had to do with the resources we were collecting (if anything, the resources were parts of technology to keep them contained).

[somber gate]

Interesting twist if we’re actually seeing the ancestors who were responsible for destroying the world of Sky.

[devout fractal]

Ohh true

Anxious angler: the most insidious of them all 🌚

[regal dagger]

I thought the story was that...the scavengers arrive to this flooded city of an older civilisation. They start looking for resources and (unintionally) release the remains of ancestor's science projects that already destroyed GW from the first time round ....at least that's the story I got from all the cutscenes and murals so far

[high atlas]

That's what I'm getting too. The scavengers are looking for power diamonds (way later in the future when this supply is now limited) because they cost a fortune possibly? Or maybe it'll help power their ship.

[silver bridge]

I assume the same. The first ancestors definitely did experiment. But the seasonal spirits seem to be alive at a period when the water had already consumed most of the structures and put them underwater...

[high atlas]

But, in an accident, while getting the diamonds, they released the leviathan and krills into the bay. This may have been what killed them in the end

[tall quail]

Yeah I've been reporting it for the past 3-4 builds. Seems the bug persists in dark areas across all maps, at least for me. I was just wondering why it wasn't in known issues or if I missed any updates hehe

[lime goblet]

No y’all it’s our skid who unleashed the ||leviathan||! The other spirits couldn’t find any haha

[uncut ginkgo]

They need to address it. It is effecting a good number of players it seems, on a number of different Android devices.

[tawdry field]

||That’s true, it isn’t spirit-y at all so it’s definitely real and alive right now, and not a memory ||

[unborn night]

That darkness and lighting bug is really aggravating. I can't get to the third diamond if I can't find the hole in the ceiling 😕

[torn herald]

lore chat is gonna love this season

[uncut ginkgo]

Have you made a bug report?

[tulip mantle]

It's like the Nintendo trailer, a huge meal

[unborn night]

I'm redoing the quest so I can get a video for the bug report

But it's not fun on my nerves being in pitch black and hearing 1) krill noises 2) someone's wings cracking 3) krill attack noises

[uncut ginkgo]

Understood. There's enough of an element of horror/dread without bugs making it worse.

[unborn night]

Hasn't the technicolour everything is disco lighting bug been reported forever now? I seem to remember seeing screenshots of it from previous seasons

[tulip mantle]

The lighting bug is only happening with the new stuff added

[uncut ginkgo]

It's been around but I've never had it before and I'm not entirely sure I've seen it act this problematic in the past. This time, I have it every single build and it's actually worse now (181781), with flickering structures, miscolored items and structures. Not just the bright colors and blackness.

[unborn night]

Someone is gong to have an epileptic fit and hurt themself

[silver bridge]

Someone posted in #beta-screenshots-videos that the old leviathan is still behind that large area where the raindeer 🦌 leviathan is roaming. And in the image the old one looks larger then the current one...

[unborn night]

Mama leviathan and offspring?

[silver bridge]

Quest 5 : cutscene continues... Behind the raindeer leviathan comes the big momma... Breaking and smashing stuff 👀

[cunning hearth]

the long eel creature and leviathan have collision on... previously all creatures don't, only a wind wall at most
i wonder if other creatures can have collision too... or preventing people from riding them is the reason why they don't have collision in the first place

[viscid badger]

Man I wish I had gotten the chance to get up close and personal to big mama krill before completing the quest, it would have been so cool to swim in the same space as it

[cunning hearth]

they either shrunk the leviathan to fit it in the ravine or the bigger leviathan will make another appearance elsewhere

[blazing crown]

I'm having trouble figuring out the 4th quest. What if some of the mantas we freed in the 3rd help us out and guide us? What do you guys think might help?

[tulip mantle]

There were two because of the cutscene, the small one was swimming in the tank
And the bigger one was in the cutscene

[silver bridge]

Well apparently the old one is still roaming outside... You need to oob out and take a friends help probably to visit that. But it won't be as detailed as 🦌

[cunning hearth]

although one might think the smaller leviathan is the "final" leviathan with it having better textures and modelling, but one never knows

[tulip mantle]

Tap on yourself and follow the star

[cunning hearth]

it may be smaller but it looks more menacing tho

[viscid badger]

Maybe before they release the 5th quest they will improve the model for the bigger one and bring both of them back

[blazing crown]

I tried that but it said to go to the lighthouse so I went all the way down to the bottom of it (where we see the meg) and then through the corridor that has stairs and leads to a gate. The star was over there but the door was closed. I thought I needed to stay in the lighthouse though

[silver bridge]

Mural shows only one. So I assume old one is still there owing to season area Polishing round 3. Once they do next round of polishing it should not be there anymore

[cunning hearth]

there is a diamond above the door you need to take to open the door

[blazing crown]

Is that what is triggering the "grab" at the top of the door? And is the diamond grey?

[cunning hearth]

yeah

hoping we get more info on how the area got abandoned and damaged on the final quest

[blazing crown]

I have a theory somewhere in the screenshots channel

[tulip mantle]

I want to know who scratched the lighthouse

[cunning hearth]

if it was a leviathan (which i don't think so?) that must be one hell of a jump if it didn't want to beach itself.... well that is if it can't fly

[blazing crown]

I figured it might be able to, since krill can fly and also swim. Maybe big boy can fly free

[fierce fox]

I'm sorry tgc, I can't test 4th quest as I like looking at megalodon /hj

[tulip mantle]

Doesn't look like natural decay but it could be

[tulip mantle]

I wish i hadn't done it, i'll leave it unfinished in live

[high atlas]

Sure, but I mean the events in sky do take place thousands of years in the future. Personally I think our skykid is reliving past memories and using that to fulfill a desire the spirits want. Because the spirits didn't live long enough to get it. Assembly spirits wanted to build a treehouse, so we built it for them. Dreams skater wanted to skate for everyone, so we watched over them learning. Once that goal is achieved, the spirits can rest peacefully, hence they ascend at the end.
So for abyss, the spirits are already dead from something||(presumably the leviathan)||, so they never got to finish collecting all the power diamonds.

[uncut ginkgo]

The more I read into this, the darker sky actually gets

[halcyon shale]

Well.. what do you expect from a game that literally having Ghost haunting all realms ?

[high atlas]

You should look into some of the old concepts. It's a very dark game if you really look for it.

[cunning hearth]

the new leviathan is more evenly shaped like an eel
the old bigger one is really chonky, has a shorter snout (no idea if it had teeth) and a mace like tail

[uncut ginkgo]

I remember having this realisation while doing a relive task

[woven pike]

look up images of "moray eels" -- the leviathan definitely has the same kind of head and chin shape going on if you ignore all the tendrils/spikes sticking out of its body

[uncut ginkgo]

The old concepts for forest were pretty dark, hope abyss is the start of seasons being much darker from a narrative standpoint

[high atlas]

I hope so! I love darker lore! And this season is exactly that. It is dripping with dark lore

[onyx dove]

Has anybody been having an issue getting to the island?

[sage sail]

head to wasteland’s social space and look around. the boat moved there several updates ago

[livid rune]

I wish we can replay cutscenes, 4th quest cutscene is beautiful….feels like a creepy sci-fi movie 🍿

[peak ether]

Whomever came up with this season, was a genious. Finally we have a creepy season.

hopefully we’ll get more creepy seasons after Abyss

[visual egret]

ooh i just entered treasure reef and got excited about the fog lol…

[atomic dust]

I turn my back from beta for ONE season, and next thing i know we have A GIANT TERRIFYING MONSTER????

[blazing crown]

I finally figured out the 4th quest! I think what was so confusing was that the first diamond wasn't even inside the lighthouse, which was really confusing since we're prompted to go into it. I know there is the honk thing, but that led me to the first diamond but through the entire lighthouse till I was on the wrong side of the door. I think the first location might need to be changed

[rigid haven]

I did the 4th quest in the “wrong” order (by diving in the big hole and arriving almost immediately to the part where you see the leviathan
I noticed this entrance while exploring yesterday and honestly thanks god bc I wouldn’t have been able to get in by the intended entrance!

[livid rune]

The music from the depths is so gooooood

Adds so much to the spooky mood!! Bravo!!

[normal oar]

how...how do you do the 4th quest now

[devout fractal]

Follow the blue diamond that shows up when you honk

I was confused myself but i think the key is to do that

Its not the same one as inside the chamber thing

I think it would be easier to do the quest if people had a set of fresh eyes so to speak

Because I personally think the difficulty is rooted in the expectations of the quest to play out similarly to the original 4th quest?

Maybe thats just me but

[faint sequoia]

[drowsy fossil]

How to complete the task with the guide? I don't understand what she wants from me in this lighthouse. Help

[high atlas]

So I decided to swim into the doors that ||we opened in the 4th quest. The ones that let out krill and the leviathan||. It is completely closed off in there, so the creatures in there were trapped. It definitely seems like they were being studied or experimented with/on.

[hollow orbit]

Where did the boat that leads to the seasonal island go? Lmao i cant find it

[drowsy fossil]

It's on the right when you enter the location

[waxen oyster]

Y'all I found the second wl ahaha

[wheat pike]

Day 6 and the boats to the island are not showing up. I have only used them one time when I first entered the new season. Now, no boats and no new season.

[sage sail]

the boat was moved several updates ago - to wasteland social space

[waxen oyster]

You didn't look in the gw social area to the right?

[sage sail]

make sure to read #beta-announcements when downloading a new build

[wheat pike]

I was unaware of the move. Thanks

[shell fossil]

+1 on checking the #beta-announcements channel. We have strict character limits for the blurb that goes to TestFlight and Google, so those important details usually have to be saved for Discord

[livid rune]

Does anyone else find it strange that the boat to forgotten ark goes from water to clouds but the boat to treasure reef goes from clouds to water?

[sage sail]

well, it could make sense in that clouds are made of water but ye it's a little reversed hahs

[shell fossil]

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be 😌

[livid rune]

That sounded a lot like Thanos

[pine crypt]

Didn't that huge fish/krill thing that's deep underwater get a few updates to its texture/model? (apparently it got red eyes added to it)

[valid lintel]

Yep, it did

[pine crypt]

Didn't it also get some new sound files added to it? I looked at some recent beta footage and it made some sounds when going near it

petition to call that huge sea krill "the big guy"

hihi?? can i ask if i can ask people in beta to do an outfit req for me with one of the season of ||abyss|| capes? or is that not allowed

per pins in #beta-screenshots-videos beta doesn't give outfit requests. you are free to scroll the channel and see some fits people have just from their pictures, or use the discord search feature to your advantage. full outfit recs are best suited to #seasons-events-chat when abyss comes to live

you don't need to spoiler the word abyss because everyone here already knows what the season is called

it was at first confusing because they changed some things in quest four, but at least for this quest i actually have to find it which i do like (maybe it’s because i was dumb enough to realize i opened the door for the first time)

[uncut ginkgo]

yes, i actually like this season now because it feels new

[molten holly]

can recharging props recharge our cape energy underwater?

[silver bridge]

While glowing plants are a welcome element for exploring... I would have expected more vegetation everywhere just to keep the area lively... Not just a lonely glowy plant out of the blue at different places

[silver bridge]

Yes if you can manage to light them I guess
/j

[molten holly]

oh okay thank you

[trail notch]

I mean the ones what help you go through the 4th quest are kinda explainable - it's too deep and dark for too colourful life to be there. Maybe in the lovely reef we see when entering the waters for the first time - yeah, the variety will definitely be welcome in that part of the map

[silver bridge]

Yeah need not be colorful. But could be luminous.. Cuz we see in the depths usually living things are luminous for various reasons. It is just that a random glowing plant makes sense gameplay wise.. But doesn't feel natural for the environment /map

[trail notch]

Hmmmm... a little moss-like glowing patterns on the walls maybe? :D

[silver bridge]

Yeah.. A creeper here and there. And moss on the walls definitely... Those walls underwater seem pristine

[regal hill]

if you somehow find a way to light up that recharging prop underwater then sure
but we can't pull out our candle underwater, so no way of lighting that up

Sorry if this has been asked before. How many krills are available in the new area after the 4th quest revamp?

[steady flower]

Did king krill just up and leave. where did he go

[compact trellis]

into the ocean to wreak havoc i suppose

[steady flower]

so hes gone :w; i wanna find him

[wide jackal]

The updated 4th quest made me went from 7 Krill reflecting Spell down to 2

[compact trellis]

ive still only ever used the krill spells like 2-3 times purely to bait

[wide jackal]

Also… is that Bug Krill… LARRY?

[tough shuttle]

4 in total
2 in tower and 2 outside

[high atlas]

He dived down ig. I started swimming down where he went out of curiosity but I got blocked by an invisible wall. But I see bubbles down below. I wonder if that area is where the last quest will be

[wide jackal]

Is one of them outside the Krill King

[tough shuttle]

sadly but no, Big Boi is gone after 4th quest

[compact trellis]

im sad, i wanted to swim in front of his red eyes to see what he'd do
would he attac like krill?

[wide jackal]

Unless someone decides to OOB their way there…

[high atlas]

People already have lol. Theres been vids of it

[wide jackal]

And I’ll now check YouTube

[uncut ginkgo]

Is the structure crew quarters part of the ship supposed to be gone or is it a bug?

[tough shuttle]

Yeah, only available before you finish 4th quest tho
@ King Krill

[high atlas]

I meant here. In beta screenshots

[wide jackal]

yeet

[compact trellis]

the whole ship was replaced, its completely diff now

[uncut ginkgo]

Ah thought so, I only checked it after the majority of the beta updates since I last played it on the first version just to compare

Gotta love the new 4th quest tho, glad they changed it

[tough shuttle]

here u go a comparison by Euwu
#beta-screenshots-videos message

[wide jackal]

Also… Someone oob see that there’s 4 Candles on top of that King Krill…
I smell Bait around here…

[compact trellis]

when will old boat return from the war

[uncut ginkgo]

I didn't even realize it was smaller now. Wow

[high atlas]

I agree. The 4th quest was defo an improvement. It had so much more excitement rather than just swimming up and down a tower. Plus I love the addition of the plants. I had put in feedback before about more spots for oxygen, and the abundance of these plants really helps encourage exploration.

[wide jackal]

For anyone wondering: #beta-screenshots-videos message

[tough shuttle]

Those plants are god like

[compact trellis]

candle hat candle hat
(jk i know theyre not actaully on him)

[uncut ginkgo]

Well besides the current lighting bugs in the tower

[compact trellis]

and the seizure wisp
anyone else found the seizure wisp?

[high atlas]

Yes. It hurt my eyes. I had to actively avoid it

[wide jackal]

Hmm if they not actually on him… then I think the King Krill is trying to bait us for Winged Lights… Is this another 3 Krills in a Trenchcoat Prank?

[hard dagger]

That was before the most recent update, though. It looks different and was moved with the update yesterday

[steady flower]

i feel like a bit of this season was a bit lazy, like instead of bringing matrerials back to the ship it could be trying to restore the underwater mine or something. I also felt this way about the season of flight

[wide jackal]

I guess the Krill gave us mercy

[high atlas]

I keep getting lucky that I don't get these types of issues on my android phone. Couldn't imagine seeing things like purple walls while swimming in the dark corridors

[steady flower]

like bro these seasons have so much potential and i feel like its just half butting it. hopefully in live it improves

[compact trellis]

we aren't even a month through testing, it has plenty of time to improve. nothing is perfect from the start

[tough shuttle]

Didn't get those too
Seems like it's another Mali GPU issues

[steady flower]

yeah, i'm just saying, i hope in live they fix it thou. i would love to see it more livened. like the past seasons

[cunning hearth]

why do the skykids want to restart the submerged mines

[steady flower]

idk it was just a thought

[high atlas]

I mean either way, that would release Rudolph the 8 nosed krill. So it still would make sense with the most recent quest

[steady flower]

what if there was something bigger then the leviathan

[compact trellis]

honestly i find it hard to say the worm monster from the cave painting was the leviathan
it just looks too different
the only thing that's similar is its length and eye count

[slate brook]

So far the bigger creatures we met was the big manta, and the whale, and probably the really big jellyfishes

[cunning hearth]

its probably an early concept or an exaggeration to scare people away

[wide jackal]

Feel someone gonna make a Kid Song out of that… (and post it to Pinkfong… you know… the channel that post Baby Shark?)

[steady flower]

where did those jellies go

[uncut ginkgo]

Other quests could alter slightly but hopefully the fifth quest might be a bit more bigger and better. When I played the last quest in flight in live, it was a little bit lacklustre and I'm not sure why.

[high atlas]

Rudolph the 8 nosed krill
had some very shiny eyes
And if you ever saw them
Just know you're about to die

[steady flower]

true , it did feel that way and i wonder what they look like in the live, cant wait to replay the quests

[slate brook]

Maybe the jellyfishes will be there on the final game! Who knows but the leviathan is out there somewhere being serene

[uncut ginkgo]

You can tell there's a bit of a build up of some big creature lurking, especially with this new 4th quest but I do wonder if it could be improved on. I mentioned before but I like the suspense of the lights of the towers going out when you take the gem from it especially in the first quest. Like you have a bad feeling about taking it.

[slate brook]

Ikr it scared me the most when I checked the where the gem was realizing something deep was hidden and it was giving me goosebumps on what’s going on

[high atlas]

What if when we take it, it makes a rumble from the depths. Or even a cutscene flashing to the big door with suspenseful music would do. Helping add the buildup to the 4th quest.

[uncut ginkgo]

Yeah. I hope they change the ship back too, the spirits are supposed to be pirates but the only thing that really hints it right now is the fact they use a treasure map. Idk they don't have that wild personality shown actually in the quest cutscenes unlike their actual spirit memories

Maybe not pirates then scavengers but even so the old ship had much more personality to who they are

[high atlas]

Well what if, everytime we grabbed those resources and brought them back, it fixed up the ship? Then we could get to see it come back to its look from before

Then again, we kinda did that with the ark, huh

[uncut ginkgo]

That's what I originally thought but considering we're collecting gems or like treasure, I don't think it'll have the build up type of scenario that assembly had with the Treehouse or the lights had with ark

[high atlas]

Yeah. Judging on the story, I assume they are nabbing these power crystals because they cost a lot. Possibly would make them a fortune.

[somber gate]

Essentially, Abyss is an anti-hero story, then?

[uncut ginkgo]

Debatable but since the spirits are pirates that only want the gems, in one way by quest 4, we're bringing harm to others by releasing these dark creatures back to the surface without knowing that's what taking the gems causes.

[slim abyss]

Personally, I feel this season is more focused on the seasonal area than the spirits and the questgiver

[uncut ginkgo]

But some people might be a dark creature lover and say we're simply freeing them for the better same with disabling the barriers in the manta tubes area technically releasing the mantas too

[cunning hearth]

i actually find the leviathan really cool

[slate brook]

This season definitely explains about pirates stealing treasures (now that sounds like a movie about that lolz)

[covert osprey]

When does days of fortune start for live?

[slate brook]

Not sure ig maybe in February

[somber gate]

Beta players don't know TGC's schedule. Please keep your eyes peeled on #news

[peak cedar]

I mean, then we'd have to discuss ethics and have a philosophical debate over the humane side of keeping dark creatures locked up simply because they are threatening, rather than avoiding them and leaving them to their own devices

[peak cedar]

It's the celebration of the Chinese new year, so our best guess is around then

[hidden bolt]

What is the water creuture at quest 4 Didn't expect it

Hi I have this issue after getting to second fase of new fourth quest, everything is black and I can't see anything or resurface, and I end up being attacked by the giant krill. I use an android device
Samsung galaxy s8 +, android 9

[peak cedar]

Aww, you met Rudy! Hes a king krill/leviathan

[brave thistle]

Before the new 4th quest change, you could actually dive all the way down there to those bubbles so I feel like it’ll be related to the 5th quest somehow… very excited to see that when it happens

[sharp plinth]

,, bro I forgot where to go for the 4th quest help💀

[cunning hearth]

dive into the ravine and follow the marker

[sharp plinth]

aw hell nah ||the krills was released||

[pine crypt]

[indigo swallow]

I'm unable to update sky 😭

[real haven]

I think the abyss story has two parts, one part is the story of the spirits digging up the treasure, and the other part is the story about the development of the abyss in the past!
It's a breakthrough! It shows that the krill on the battlefield may have escaped from this area, which led to the decline of the wasteland.

According to the newly added mural, I speculate that they may have used the energy of the krill and the big guy on the sea floor to generate rainforest gems, but then the device went out of control and led to resistance.

[uncut ginkgo]

The background of game is pretty bleak. I wouldn't say it's turning into a horror game by any means, not anymore than it already is or isn't. We're just getting more of the story. I mean the season is in Wasteland, fwiw.

[real haven]

In fact, the story of the sky is not always bright. I like the presentation of this season. I want to know more stories about the decline of this kingdom.

Although it’s a bit dangerous, I also hope that the big guy under the sea is dangerous (Dangerous thoughts

[uncut ginkgo]

I swam with it a few times and nothing bad happened, so... It's friendly, for now 🙃

I believe it will remain friendly in the future

[woven pike]

I'm not sure I'd consider it "friendly" as opposed to "just doesn't care about something so small to it", but there's also a chance that they just haven't programmed in aggressive behaviour yet...but I still think we're a bit small for it to really pay much attention to

[uncut ginkgo]

Let's hope it stays like that LOL
If this thing attacks, it will send us straight to ||eden|| 😶

[red nexus]

I cannot pass this quest. Lost 50 WL and still no luck. Horror game is about right.

[uncut ginkgo]

Who knows where the finale will take us. I have a feeling however it is more background color and awe factor than anything that we will actually engage with.

[devout fractal]

Megabeaned

[fierce fox]

the megalodon has a fully modeled mouth with teeth, maybe that will make an appearance in the final quest

[somber gate]

Maybe it turns out the scavengers are actually dentists.

[livid rune]

Plot twist: What if the leviathan eats krills

[glossy shore]

I was under the impression that they feed off of krills

[haughty lotus]

Like magically or eating them in the sense of the word?

[glossy shore]

It doesn’t in game, but when I first saw it in the aquarium with the krill, I thought it was going to eat them, in the sense of the word

[haughty lotus]

Oh! Yes, me too. That would make sense if it’s a friendly creature. I was wondering if it’s the same creature that is in the underground forest.

[woven pike]

Who knows how long they were trapped in there together though, so I wonder if that really indicates that the leviathan feeds on krill if it's been left alive for this long

[high atlas]

They definitely aren't the same creature. But maybe it'll end up being grateful for us freeing it. I still think it's what ended up killing our scavenger friends

[clever ingot]

The new update for the 4th story is so hard to do. I actually rather the older way. You just had to dodge the krill and get all the way down to the switch. Now you can barely hold your breath and there's multiple switches.

[peak ether]

Just realized. If Quest 4 is as terrifying as it looks then imagine what Quest 5 will be

[trim bramble]

They added more recharging points so it should be easier to hold your breath. I genuinely took a long time finishing the quest bc i was dumb and didn't even realize the switch was right next to the jellyfishes I was recharging at 🧍

^also when you press your boost button you actually boost underwater instead of fly up. Doing this quest should be easier but #beta-feedback does exist if you are unsatisfied

[peak ether]

Also what I’m happy about is that they maybe took my feedback on adding in more dark elements into Sky. Since there really isn’t anything dark and terrifying in Sky currently. Not even the shadow worms are that terrifying in my opinion

[trim bramble]

This season is surly dark as in lore, looks, and cosmetics!

[devout fractal]

I think the current 4th quest is an improvement

It’s a little challenging but at least you can find the diamonds w your honk

[spiral needle]

[devout fractal]

The point is to use recharge spots wisely like the plants

[livid rune]

Yeah, honking and looking for the plants is the idea. I thought it was quite easy and straightforward but I can understand it being confusing at first.

[hazy pivot]

I was a little thrown off at first by the entrance not being the same as before (through the top of the tower), but then I also found it to be pretty straightforward. The main difficulty is trying to avoid the krills in the second half I think, the new plants do make it easier to stay recharged at least

And also keeping in mind that this quest will be released in live probably several weeks into the season, so people will have had time to get used to the diving mechanics and explore the area before that point

[devout fractal]

Yeah

Its understandable to be thrown off when the locations change but I don’t think that means its a badly designed quest

[trim bramble]

I got super confused about the big door at first. I remember it was just an open spot so it took me 10 mins just to figure out where the first switch is

[devout fractal]

Fair

[azure plaza]

had a dream about the season was released and there’re fish swimming around the forgotten ark

[uncut ginkgo]

Weird question but shouldn't TGC have dropped a teaser for abyss by now? Seeing how they'd usually drop a teaser a few weeks before the season ends

[somber gate]

Who knows. Maybe?

[cunning hearth]

maybe we getting a bigger season gap this time

[ashen ginkgo]

This is my own theory, but when TGC releases a teaser depends on the mood of the players!

For example, during assembly, LP was teased from as early as the 2nd quest because players weren't quite into the quest

People is probably hooked rn with Flight + Feast and therefore they don't need to announce yet (maybe)

[uncut ginkgo]

I hear you but could it also be bc of the new AP thing of removing preorders so there's really no incentive to promote it so early. But yeah you do have a point, nobody is necessarily screaming for a new season

[uncut ginkgo]

You reckon?

[azure plaza]

is flight season still up

[solar lark]

This is the beta channel, I think you want #seasons-events-chat. Flight has 8 days left on Live

[peak cedar]

The most likely assumption atm is because there will be a larger gap between seasons, the trailer might'n drop until the usual 3-4 weeks out

The reason I say there will be a bigger gap is due to testing of the final quest not happening until mid Jan, and it would be unlikely to have the season released in live when testing for the final quest hasn't even happened yet

[high atlas]

That would make sense. Plus we are testing a completely new game mechanic. So that will take time to smooth out all the bumps too.

[cunning hearth]

iirc we had to wait over 50 days for lp final quest too... forgot if it were live before then

[high atlas]

It was. It was the same with flight iirc. We didn't get to see the final cutscene until it came out on live as well.

[lapis girder]

It's no longer available and was removed from everyone's closet, if I'm not mistaken

[peak cedar]

Ahhh, which mask? Cause to begin with there were 2 - one of which was removed. So it depends on which one you're talking about.
If you are enquiring because you would like to see it, we are not able to provide that (see pins)

[cunning hearth]

rebreather is still an UG but it got some changes
the other cracked mask that was an UG is gone completely

[lapis girder]

I assumed they were talking about the first ultimate mask because they asked if it was still available, which is not.

[ornate rover]

That's the rebreather, due to currency bugs, most players were able to buy out the season day 1, so most of us already have it.

[lapis girder]

That mask is still available to purchase, the one that was removed was the cracked one [similar to Anxious Angler’s mask]

[uncut ginkgo]

Hi everybody, does anyone else's screen gets pitch black underwater? (new area only, inside buildings)
Due to this I can't redo the 4th quest 😕

[next isle]

Currently a bug

[peak cedar]

@uncut ginkgo

[uncut ginkgo]

@shell fossil I'm dealing with pitch black screen on the areas inside the buildings underwater.
My phone is a Huawei Mate 20 Lite, Android 10, Processor Hisilicon Kirin 710, Mali-G51 MP4 1000 MHz

[upbeat owl]

i wanna test beta how?

[obtuse gate]

hello, did we get a bug where there are no ships going to Abyss Island?

[rustic fiber]

its in golden wasteland social space

[regal hill]

they'd probably drop the Abyss teaser during Days of Feast

[bronze mason]

guys....about the red eyed monster...After the cutscene where did it go?

[uncut ginkgo]

@shell fossil Colour issues underwater in abyss specifically inside the buildings. I have Huawei p smart 2021 (model: POT-LX1A) and Android 9.

[tulip mantle]

Sagomay said they got enough data, you can report the issues in #report-a-live-bug

[cunning hearth]

the red eyed monster went deeper into the depths

[obtuse gate]

anyone know how to get to the krill king?

[tulip mantle]

Have you finished the 4th quest?

[drowsy fossil]

Where to write about seasonal candles? If a mask was bought for a heart, and then this mask was transferred to the main spirits and now one heart is missing to close the awards branch from the season guide.

[lethal zenith]

you can write feedback on issues and bugs you're experiencing in either #beta-feedback or if it is a bug, #beta-bugs-android or in #beta-bugs-ios

[drowsy fossil]

Thanks

[uncut ginkgo]

Also something to keep in mind for beta testing in general. There is no compensation in beta.

[peak cedar]

#beta-faq be sure to read it all please

[uncut ginkgo]

As well, when looking for an answer to a question, please refrain from spamming the same question in multiple beta channels. Just try to be patient and someone will answer you. 😊

[somber gate]

Or read the #beta-faq , where it clearly says there will be no compensation for currency issues and beta is unpredictable etc.

[uncut ginkgo]

hello somebody knows where the boat to the new area went? cause it’s gone :0

[mighty gate]

#beta-announcements message

[uncut ginkgo]

thank you TT' 🙂

[blissful gyro]

Hello guys, would anyone mind assisting me for the 4th quest I keep on struggling.. and losing stars

[uncut ginkgo]

Hi. Have you tried looking for help in #beta-looking-for-group ? That channel is likely to give a quicker response.

[solid marsh]

I find it so strange that so many people cannot find the moved boat in social space despite it being very obvious there. Additionally the location has been changed for over a week so I'm scratching my head on that one 😅

[woven pike]

It's obvious provided you actually look towards the right -- problem is, tunnel vision is extremely easy to fall into if you've already got an objective in mind, and there was no reason really pay attention to that side of the screen before prior to the boat being put there (nothing but a Return Shrine to go Home). Easiest example of tunnel vision is when you miss a candle cake or seasonal candle up in the social area because you're too focused thinking about the next part of your usual candle run routine -- it's actually quite easy if the object isn't right in the middle of your field of vision.

Haaaaaaving said that, it's a little disconcerting how many people are overlooking the update notes

[thick hull]

does anyone find the ult cape a bit…not ult like?

[glossy shore]

Just needs the necklace part to stand out more

[glossy shore]

Mucho texto

[uncut ginkgo]

It's...like not reading instructions

[woven pike]

No read, only honk

[somber gate]

No read, only sneak peek new shiny stuff.

[spice latch]

True true

I recommend you to send your opinion in feedback channel

Maybe this way devs gonna see our opinion

[thick hull]

I will
Thanks

[grim hearth]

Hi

[uncut ginkgo]

Ults, as have been mentioned by the devs are not necessarily the 'fanciest' items, but are the final items to unlock. If you look at the history of seasonal cosmetics in beta you'll see that items have been moved back and forth between the seasonal spirits and the quest giver. So there is a level of subjectivity when making these kind of assessments. Personally I feel they wasted an opportunity with scrapping the ult mask when they could have redesigned it, but it's just my opinion. That being said, there has been little focus on redesign thus far as we have a new mechanic and other consideration at the moment, so perhaps the next big update aside from hopefully dealing with the color bug plaguing many Android user will also focus on cosmetics.

[uncut ginkgo]

Wonder what changes they would make to the initial cosmetics bc they've grown on me but not enough to entice me to buy an AP for Abyss

[sage sail]

my main hope is that the art-update planned for the new constellation will bring some other art changes as well

[tulip mantle]

I hope they don't remove the acorn hat

[uncut ginkgo]

I'd fight them

[sage sail]

it's so cute especially with the long hair from vault

[spice latch]

Well, that's the devs' opinion. Imho final items should be worthy collecting 350-390 seasonal candles like it is in the Season of Flight now. I like the final Ultimate so much that i will get all the candles i need for it. Reverse situation happened with Season of Little Prince for me: ultimates looked not worthy for me, so I skipped the whole season after after getting some of emotes and cosmetics i liked. So I think it weird to put "lower than average" items as Ultimate or final

[real venture]

Id skip this next season after all. They are not my type.

Plus the ulti has no extra story like dreams season

[uncut ginkgo]

Previous seasons have set the standard so it does kinda feel weird for the ults to feel like something you'd get from any other spirit

[somber gate]

Tbh, I would have expected the coat to be an ultimate, since it's reminiscent of the Prince IAP and looks rather luxurious. But again, it's probably more a story-driven decision which items end up as ultimates. I don't like the rebreather mask at all and would never wear it, even if I got the AP.

[spice latch]

Exactly

[real venture]

Hmm that coat navy cape is surely one of the reason i want to get the adpass. Too bad that its only adpass not ulti mmhm

[uncut ginkgo]

My initial thoughts was that it was an ult from how it looked but we don't have much overcoat capes to begin with so making it an ult would create somewhat of a barrier in the variety of capes to get for F2P

[somber gate]

The coat is already AP locked, so it wouldn't really matter if it was an ultimate or not.

[vapid zinc]

I love the coat. But I feel it's still lacking something. The Season of Dreams did it best and I still can't believe it was free to purchase without AP.

Personally I'm not at all impressed by this season's cosmetics.

[real venture]

It will come back after TS, so not making it hypeful hhh

[uncut ginkgo]

That's my thoughts exactly, the dancing Performer Cape is in a league of its own compared to the one in Abyss

[real venture]

Overall, too many free cosmetics and most of them are the good ones to wear.

[somber gate]

I forgot the Dreams coat, which is also very nice and preceeded Prince cape. Personally, I prefer this Abyss version out of the three.

[spice latch]

Id prefer coat to be Ultimate as well. It looks like one, why not making it smell like one?

[uncut ginkgo]

A good decision bc I've seen people get literally depressed bc they can't get an AP and a cosmetic they really want is AP locked

[spice latch]

Thats golden cape from Dream?

[real venture]

Yes i know, but this one seems pretty much unbalanced, the ultimate gift is also wack so.. thats why this adpass seems skippable

Wake me up when stumbling came as TS //runs

[uncut ginkgo]

Don't give them any ideas before they decide to rearrange it

[vapid zinc]

As it is now... It's not worthy to be an ultimate. It's flat when you fly, the sleeves don't have any movement to them. It's like a basic cape but with a different shape.
The Yellow Dreams coat cape feels heavy and sturdy, and has a movement to it. The sleeves have volume and shape and movement. It actually feels like a coat and moves with you.
The Abyss one... Looks like a paper coat.

[spice latch]

Lets hope this thing will change as its still Beta

[uncut ginkgo]

Time to head to #beta-feedback but I think we'll start seeing cosmetic tweaks last

[spice latch]

Already

[uncut ginkgo]

This is one of the more contentious seasons concerning cosmetics, it seems. I like all the cosmetics except for that shawl cape the Angler has. I will be getting an ad pass, regardless of what is locked or not.
I really like the cosmetics and hope that they do not mess with the color pallette.

[uncut ginkgo]

Whenever I buy an AP, there's always the thought of that's a few more spirits to not look forward to as ts and that's honestly the only thing keeping me on the game. I hope they add more functions to the area so it just doesn't feel like another season with pretty clothes and a soon to be abandoned seasonal area

My thoughts are along the lines of "ouch, that'll be a pricey spirit later". I always get an ad pass. I have yet to see a season so lacking in cosmetics for my taste that I've felt the need to decide to skip.

[uncut ginkgo]

That's also a huge problem with the game, seeing how prices are inflating when spirits come back, I like the concept of the lower half of seasonal nodes being less expensive but they need to start dropping the prices of most things, like how the flower crown was moved from candles to hearts

[high atlas]

That's basically how I think of it too. Now I have like less than 10 more spirits left to complete, so if I missed a season pass, I'd have to wait for these to come back too

[uncut ginkgo]

Sky lacks variety to an alarming degree, they mentioned it in the QnA so hopefully events will start having more things to do instead of being an aesthetically pleasing marketplace

[uncut ginkgo]

Yeah, it's gotta be brutal for new players. Especially with all these 4 spirit seasons.

On the topic of ults the rebreather mask is interesting. It should be an ult as it's unique being the first cosmetic that acts like a prop. However it's superfluous by the time you get to unlock it because of all the recharge points in Abyss (which we obviously need).

[devout fractal]

Yeah i think w prices i do wish theyd slow them down a notch

[uncut ginkgo]

I feel like hair and masks are very overpriced, capes are debatable as well

[devout fractal]

Ever since little prince ended i had like 430 candles after conversion and i got knocked down to 195 and i feel like im not gonna be able to keep up at this

[opaque breach]

They mentioned in the QnA? That's very much reassuring
on that topic.........not looking forward to another collab,,, please pleeease be an event

[sage sail]

I would prefer if they sped things up on the ts side, and hiked down prices significantly, as it'll soon be impossible to acquire everything from past travelers in literally 2 years (with no repeats). the ts pool is at 50 seasonal spirits, which means it'll take you 100 weeks to get everything

[uncut ginkgo]

You have a point there, I feel like everyone will be used to the whole having to recharge aspect the same way they did when it comes to flying

[opaque breach]

Would "more frequently and cheaper" only increase pressure?
I hope not, but it'd be a good compromise...?

week-and-a-half-ly, perhaps

[devout fractal]

Hmm… i think yes…? But no….?

Actually though yes

[opaque breach]

but yeah there's also the argument of "the work needed during the season"
crusty old enchantment moth here would prefer things to be easier for the younguns, but that's just one person out of many

[devout fractal]

If the prices are cut in half that still kind of nets to the same pressure if its just a week in between. A week and a half would def help

[uncut ginkgo]

I'm surprised they're willing to have another collab after TLP, not the most liked season.

[sage sail]

on the flipside, having them be weekly and still remain at the current price point would perhaps make it easier for the "you don't need to get everything" message to actually become reality - since it would be literally impossible to buy every spirit out

[opaque breach]

...every 9/10-ish days, I guess
would be good, 3 a month

[opaque breach]

some people enjoyed it, and I'm glad they did - but I was begging for that to be it, I really didn't like it

[uncut ginkgo]

Traveling spirits already force people to choose between event cosmetics and ts cosmetics so that would just drive alot of players away

[opaque breach]

that would be unfair, so no

[uncut ginkgo]

Well,yeah. And since they added those plants and the shells work I haven't even been using the rebreather.

[opaque breach]

would the reeeeeally cheap ones (Sassy and Nod for example) stay the same, though?

[devout fractal]

Just maybe. Take the prices down a notch so a spirits price cant be higher than so and so

[ashen ginkgo]

I suppose they'll change how it was done. Personally for me as long as it's not packed with IAPs, it could be fun, because I enjoyed LP story-wise, not so much to my pockets

[hot perch]

There’s definitely pros and cons to both systems, however with both I believe prices need to be reduced and the number of candles someone can earn in a day needs to be increased as well, the economy frankly, is in shambles SGHDHDHD

As well TS being more frequent would make it so that people feel less bad skipping, if you miss a ts now they’re not coming for another year, but more frequent means a sooner return

[opaque breach]

yeah my hope in that is that they've likely learnt from LP

[uncut ginkgo]

Increasing the daily limit will prolly have people less inclined to buy candle packs and I'm not sure how TGC would feel about that

[devout fractal]

ie like have it so a spirit cannot be higher than 180-195

[opaque breach]

...good point
unsure what the stance is on that - it'd be beneficial for the playerbase, but I'm unsure on the devs' side

[uncut ginkgo]

Story was great, cosmetics were depressing. You could tell that the creative direction wasn't necessarily one you'd expect from TGC

[ashen ginkgo]

However, for people who's waiting for some specific spirits to return, it would be so stressing to see your dreamy finally came back but you literally got not time to save

Having TS more often would be a nightmare for me ngl

[opaque breach]

imagining Shrug (current top spot) while I'd be broke again is heartbreaking so good point

[uncut ginkgo]

Maybe it'll end up like recharging props, nice to have but not necessary to use as often

[sage sail]

I would also consider the current system as unfair given that to buy juggler/fire prophet out you'd need to grind around 20 candles per day for the entire two weeks (and spend nothing on anything else). cosmetics coimpletionism is rapidly becoming an impossible play style unless you shell out on candle packs. I don't personally believe keeping the prices inflated like this is good, but I don't believe they'll ever hike them down again out of fear that players will find it "unfair" they spent more to get those cosmetics in the past

[devout fractal]

ie. A spirit like dancing performer if they stuck to the usual pricing system would round up to like mmmmaaaybbeee 243???

[opaque breach]

ok
this might be controversial but
TS props are a pointless addition
(please politely argue if you disagree)

[uncut ginkgo]

Feels like there's always a conflict of interest between beta testers and TGC, morally that is

[glossy shore]

Need I remind you when the TS was first introduced, it was on a weekly schedule, and only available for 60+ hours (compared to current 96 hours)
That changed due to feedback and the pressure to collect everything (I almost missed one of the TS’es because of the previous schedule )

[opaque breach]

shared spaces are offtopic, I would go on a rant about why I hate them but now is not the time

[uncut ginkgo]

I feel like the backlash would prolly see players either bash TGC for the entire visit or demand the prices to be lowered (which will not happen)

[opaque breach]

thanks for your input, I didn't know that - joined late Enchantment as you know, so only learnt about the system in a later iteration

[ashen ginkgo]

Yes and no!

Pointless if you don't build shared spaces or the object does nothing (watching at you, memory cubes), but if you do they actually make fun props.

I like them for that reason, and maybe it's something else to get for veterans, but I also like they're not truly needed, so we can skip if we don't like or don't care

[devout fractal]

I honestly think itd be fair to say that players who get spirits as ts work just as hard as the vets who got them in their og season,

If not more 🌞

[sage sail]

yuh, candle running every day to spend 200 candles in two weeks is more time consuming than just doing dailies for 2 months

[uncut ginkgo]

Shared spaces < Places where you can choose a mini game and broadcast it so other players could join.

TGC doesn't understand that social interactions aren't something to be forced, I can't for the life of me see myself walking up to a Skykid and striking a conversation

[opaque breach]

...refraining from going onto an offtopic, but tl;dr I feel like the props are a waste of time and resources that could be used to improve many more things and put too much emphasis into shoving a feature in our faces and making that the focus on things
also only increase tree prices and therefore pressure

[ashen ginkgo]

One is more about consistency in a long place, other more about daily consistency. Both are hard, but I don't stress about seasons since I know I got chance, while TS burns me out sometimes

[opaque breach]

whew I feel much better now I said that

[uncut ginkgo]

The community is at its breaking point with how TGC has been running the fame tbh

[opaque breach]

I still love this dearly, but there is sooooooo much to be improved

[devout fractal]

Remember the time they tested the Ap locked ts items in beta? I wasn’t there for it per se but i saw it and a little backlash…

[opaque breach]

I was part of that
very upsetting, very very glad it never became a thing

[devout fractal]

Well not a little from what youd think bc ofc people would be very mad

[glossy shore]

Oh boy, don’t get me started

[high atlas]

Ohhh yeah. Beta was on fire. Everyone hated it.

[devout fractal]

Do tell

[uncut ginkgo]

Honestly, it's like seeing something you love turn to just another daily grind and simply saying then don't play the game is very dismissive to how the fan base feels

[ashen ginkgo]

I think like... Shared Spaces do have some kind of magic, bc it allows for creative building. But I feel very restricted because of the space (very few items) and having only 4 locations.

And that doesn't change the fact we need more things to do like mini games or so. Trials were great for that, but maybe even more tiny things would help.

If I could use my hoop to build a flying course I would be so happy

[opaque breach]

what keeps me to this game is optimism that the devs Can Listen
I hang in there in case

[glossy shore]

refuses to elaborate further
leaves
I wouldn’t mind that system if it was introduced from dawn of the TS system, but it was way too late to introduce it

[vapid zinc]

It's especially hurtful when you've invested money in this game.

[opaque breach]

this game is much more than a grind to me, but I hate hate hate it being emphasised on

[devout fractal]

ascends

[devout fractal]

YES they missed such a good opportunity to make the hoop an. Actually interesting prop

[high atlas]

See, they listen occasionally. They listened when I gave feedback about more oxygen replenishing spots in the new area. But when we critique about all the events coming through, suddenly we should just "leave the game"

[uncut ginkgo]

Let's hope 2022 is the year for better things, less cosmetics and candle running! More things to actually do
