[royal knoll]

I just want to be able to gain focus from sleeping in a bed. Can't as far as I know, just eating food

[spring kite]

oh shoot now i dont know if my stuffs going to be there at all

[vapid bolt]

Ah so now you have lots of hours of content left atleast

[round sluice]

There are an awful lot of 🍄 in Palia. Mushroom leather, a real thing, now, might be kinda cool to have, in-game

[wraith sierra]

yeh that was their idea. what about fur tho hmm

damn how long did alpha play for? all those hours of gaming/ work lost? D:

i kinda wish there were saves that you could revert to bc sometimes i feel like i chose the wrong dialogue option and i wanna undo lol

[spring kite]

yea

[round sluice]

As far as I can tell, the only thing fur is for is gifting, so that could easily be something lese
As far as hides, they're really only for leather, so could be removed, entirely, if the shroom leather, or similar, was a thing

[quiet spade]

You can't really have sleeping in live-service games because you can't time skip so it would just be an animation of you lying in bed for pre-determined set of time? I can't imagine how else it would work

[wraith sierra]

hmmm poor jel he'll have to learn how to use these new materials loool

[quiet spade]

if youre an alpha tester, you go into these things knowing thats going to happen. Not to mention the amount of changes and updates that happen after resets its often like playing a new game again

[wraith sierra]

ahh fair enough but id still be sad lol

how does one become an alpha tester

[unborn parcel]

as someone dating jel and having to fulfill the weirdest requests he has for materials, I think he's gonna be thrilled

[wraith sierra]

i only found out about this bc i was researching to see whether i'd like that other farming game

[novel crescent]

I was happy be able to play it and help give feedback.

[quiet spade]

it requires a lot of digging around in the right communities, forums, and spaces, along with going to the websites of the software developers and applying for it

[ancient nymph]

you would habe been a tester during alpha, we're now in beta. (though the role seems to be bugged? a lot don't have it anymore)

[unborn parcel]

i think some bug bags can be made with fur but im not sure

[wraith sierra]

yeh i know i just meant in general

[round sluice]

As long as we tell him "Look at it as a challenge!" and "You're sisters never worked with this.", he'd go fo it

[valid sphinx]

Have no more storage space in my plot…ugh!!

[hard tinsel]

I don't know about anyone else, but I find "I hope you don't get murdered" to be such an odd goodbye from Kenyatta and possibly triggering for some people. Idk, feels so misplaced in Palia.

[ancient nymph]

I got an invite from someone who as an alpha tester, but there were open signups occasionally too

[wraith sierra]

😮 maybe i need to talk to Kenyatta more lol sounds like me pfft

[ancient nymph]

yeah, but it does fit with her ||serial killer/true crime obsession||

[wraith sierra]

that's pretty cool. i'm very obviously not much of a gamer so it's all very interesting to me

[round swift]

are chapaa nests gone?

[hard tinsel]

I know it's connected to that but it still feels so odd in Palia due to it's censorship.

[round sluice]

Then there's Hassian's overt racism, and Eshe's more casual, unintentional version. Not as "cozy" as I was expecting

[ancient nymph]

nope - #1172250012873408615 has info on each day's pile (you need the lfg role to see it)

[round swift]

how do i get that role?

[marble sandal]

I don't think so, just picked up today's.

[ancient nymph]

head to channels & roles and add it

[hard tinsel]

Yeeeah... there has been a lot of things that have made me raise an eyebrow. Game feels pretty dark once you get past all the colourful fluff.

[quiet spade]

Nah, Eshe is a wonderful blend of racism and classism lol

[round swift]

I found that pile but just got stone

[unborn parcel]

the way i understand things, character dialogue fulfills the purpose of storybuilding and writing. Players being modded fulfills the purpose of prevents us from turning into little dungs and skinning each other.

[round obsidian]

i got a chappa rug earlier today so i thinknits still going on winterlight themed stuff for a bit until they announce it

[round sluice]

I loled at this, even though I have grown to kind of like her

[quiet spade]

I mean the whole game is literally taking place in a post-apocalyptic scenario

[round swift]

that stinks I just got stone like it was a rummage pile

[quiet spade]

Its fallout without the nuclear wasteland

[round sluice]

I got 5 sapwood, today. I got logs, from a pile of logs. Who knew?

[round obsidian]

lol

[round swift]

i probably wont get everything before the event ends...

[ancient nymph]

and it seems like there might have been a few other large scale disasters as well, not to mention the war

[sand apex]

Can you only have 9 soul plots ??

[unborn parcel]

unrelated but. The way each wood log turns into one singular plank every time. It feels like such a waste of woodto me.

[round sluice]

Ugh, yes. I'm so hoping they expand this

[unborn parcel]

its just the visual, since bigger trees give you more raw material, but bruh the waste of wood i keep picturing each time i see a giant log go in and a tiny plank come out

[sand apex]

@round sluice yess!! I also would like more garden decor like paths and trallaces

[round sluice]

I figured something out, about this and similar scale issues. I don't think it's a "log", so much as a branch of bough or whatever. Similarly, I think "1 potato" is more like "1 bushel of potatoes". It feels to my like it just representative, rather than exact

[unborn parcel]

same, i think it in terms of "1 wood unit" or "1 potato unit" of undetermined number and quantity, but its become such a pet peeve, I feel so wasteful

almost as wasteful as tish who keeps apparently using the rarest flow wood for 70% furniture recipes

[ancient nymph]

yup only 9 soil plots right now, we're hoping for more the next time the add a crop

[round sluice]

Things I hope they add, for us to decorate our Plots with, whether simply decor, or active crops (Feel free to ignore):
||- Trees and rocks cleared on 1 Plot do not disappear from the others

• All sizes of tree
• Those little, non tree shrubs
• Rocks, in numerous sizes
• Flowers
• Paths
• Trellises and pergolas
• Vineyards
• More soil
• Water features, like the small pond we refill our water cans at
• More than the 2 or 3 fences we currently have
• Different colour roofs
• Different outer wall textures
• aaand probably others||

[ancient nymph]

sorta wondering if new crops will come with lny

[onyx venture]

I am sure once they add more stuff to the skills gardening will expand, along with the plots.

[slim pendant]

Just got the key to Jels vibe. Loving his room. Screams romance

[tawdry patrol]

what new crops would you like to see? 😄

[hushed patrol]

well, i think there's already vegan options in palia

[solid viper]

I think part of why we're limited to 9 plots is a balance thing, too, since you can make a lot of money farming

[round sluice]

I expect so. Unfortunately, this may not be until full release ||which may never happen, as is sometimes the way of games ||

[unborn parcel]

right? my friend told me the guy has only sisters and his passion is art in the shape of fashion (and speaks poetically), makes sense the whole character screams romance

[ancient nymph]

would i like to see? strawberries and cucumbers to match items in game we can't make. What do i think is coming based on spoilers? ||bok choy & cabbage||

[hushed patrol]

they should add the extra plot to be buyable for 1200 token per plot in badruus shop, like an end game sorta thing

[slim pendant]

Such a vibe

[round sluice]

Rather a lot a lot

[unborn parcel]

Me, seeing the celebration cake FULL OF STRAWBERRIES: ah yes. The apple and blueberries I used look so good.

[granite falcon]

Where can i find long nose unicorn fish?

[solid viper]

Or the Sashimi, which is made with a side of rice... which is nowhere to be found on the finished model

[unborn parcel]

In the ocean in bahari, with glow worms I think

[granite falcon]

Dang. I almost used them all up. Still no where 😦

[round sluice]

We have a decor planter box, with beets and something else in it, even though 1) we can't plant beets (yet), and 2) all the sugar Zeki sells us has to come from somewhere, so maybe from those beets?

[unborn parcel]

you can use buffs to try and up your luck, like the fishermans brew, sushi/sashimi, trout dinner, einar's angler buffs, a different bobber... and also some people say complaining in this chat tends to work

[wind tinsel]

I hate the 24 hour gift limit but it makes sense honestly.

Once I harvest an apple tree do I have to wait another 12 days- I mean 12 hours for it all to grow back.

[devout ledge]

no because i want my relationship pins now (started 6 days ago)

[wind tinsel]

I want to finish Reths quest line and give him the next h
Chocolates

[onyx venture]

They're quite rare .. in the time I've been playing, I have only ever caught one ... still waiting for the starred version

[stone gull]

Bahari Coast, focus the Bubble Spots, using Glow Wroms.

[wind tinsel]

I got sapphire and emerald last night

[unborn parcel]

My prediction is going like:
-Theres fruit and produce you get at other places and zeki imports
-New area opens
-Humans import invasive species en masse because aesthetics or money making reasons
-We end up having chaapapocalypse 2.0 but with strawberries and sugarcane or smth
-Hassian cries
-Economy collapse
-S6 reigns it in by nerfing prices and import policies

Yeah i can already see the announcement in my head and all.

[round sluice]

I don't remember the time, specifically, but I realized while apples make a lot of money at one time, it's not worth waiting for that time. I can replace the 9 spaces with 4-5 tomatoes and 4-5 potatoes, and make way more 🪙, in the same amount of time

[stone gull]

Dang, I had to scroll a bit down. 🤣

[wind tinsel]

I need the apples for quests

[crude cape]

can do even more with rice and wheat 😄

[round sluice]

I want to , , and , all at once. Also, some thrown in

[nova bluff]

All I wanna know is where my strawberries at

[tawdry patrol]

i'd love strawberries in game too!

[crude cape]

those earlier wanting new crops, 2 may come sooner rather than later...

[round sluice]

I've got a reserve of 55, but I can't even bring myself to make Honey Lures with them

[unborn parcel]

hassian throwing a tantrum and breaking up with his 25789342 husbands and wives simultaneously because they imported invasive species, and we get a new salt lake from all the tears

[crude cape]

cat drinks the lake

[nova bluff]

Ocean in bahari between 6am-6pm

[burnt torrent]

My whole farm is just apple trees lol 🙃

[stone gull]

Stonk.

[crude cape]

if you shove corn in a 9x9 (middle soil) you can get just under 600 apples per 30 days (or obviously smother it all in harvest fert, but that stuff doesn't always work)

[vapid bolt]

Well if you want to store your money then all apple trees are the way to go, you can store a lot of money by making apple seeds

[burnt torrent]

Oh??? That’s awesome thank you!

[narrow compass]

HAS THERE BEEN ANY WORD OR NEWSSS

[astral vessel]

nopee

[stone gull]

You seen my plot!?

[crude cape]

I am behind you right now! MOUWAHAH!

[vapid bolt]

I switch between all apples and then my 140K/30hrs layout of tomatoes/potatoes/rice/corn

[astral vessel]

[ivory prairie]

i see we havent gotten an update on whats to come. DId they let go just the discord devs? I could of swore there was going to be something written out.

[quiet spade]

Hopefully we will see something this week

[narrow compass]

ok ill come back in 5 days to check in again

[stone gull]

Had that going for a while, get away with 4 apples down the row, corn on the left for more produce, with tomatoes for hydration on the right.

[ivory prairie]

Heres to hopin but its not lookin good. They really broke the game with those last two updates and then no word since they said they were "in office"

[nova bluff]

Oooo pumpkins and watermelons

[crude cape]

mine was 8 apple tree's, 1 soil of corn in the middle, weed fert on all cause damn weeds... watered it every hour, made seeds to store gold 😄

[nova bluff]

Badruu has pumpkins I want pumpkins I WILL THROW A TANTRUM

[astral vessel]

At this point, even just an acknowledgement of the new year would be good. I think this radio silence is just unprofessional and not looking good 😅

[round sluice]

My current, no apples but lots of other things, layout makes me about 50K+ 🪙 per day
(with seeders, preservers, worm farms, etc.)

[stone gull]

I have 1 apple tree in the meditation area.

[round sluice]

Even an automated "Happy 2024!" message would have been preferable

[wraith sierra]

Well humans do overly enjoy colonising other people's lands so I can understand the uncertainty 😅

[astral vessel]

I think the pumpkins were a fall thing (i missed out on them too bc i took a break)

[ivory prairie]

i was about to say id rather take the automated typos then silence

[round sluice]

This is an all too fair point

[astral vessel]

exactlyyy, like i'm REALLY trying to be patient and support the game but thats becoming hard to do.

[stone gull]

@crude cape Yes, and its also better time storage considering jams are abundant and they are fast income instead. The seeds take up hardly anything in comparison. It's a stock investment.

Could have 500 Quality Apple Tree seeds in storage and hold it and still make an efficient coin with the jams, even now.

[crude cape]

yarps, I got bored with the game though in the end and stopped seed farming, but got 100k of apple seeds sitting there waiting

[stone gull]

Right, so when something big comes, you got the stock.

[crude cape]

yeps, + gold cap all the time + more stored seeds with bloobs and toms and all other stoof

think theo has the most, he's got over 1 mill in apple seeds xD

[stone gull]

Like, "so what if it cost me 300k for this one item?, looks in storage. (the box glows when you open it LOZOOT ques)

[crude cape]

We've had two people leave the CS team, AmeliaMarz and GingerbreadWitch (who oddly still has her S6 flair currently). Of the two remaining CS team members, one is out on an extended leave, but hasn't quit. They're currently hiring for more CS positions IIRC

[slim pendant]

Yes 🙄

[stone gull]

We are most definitely going to get more garden plots to use, there's no way they can't let us use this much land without having a massive fenced-in || grazing field of alfalfa for animals along with Animal Husbandry||. That and sprinklers, if it's anything like all the farming rpg sims, we'll even have a greenhouse. Still waiting on this weather system, the most though.

[crude cape]

pain right? the pupfish from kilima lake drop often if that helps

[quiet spade]

Are you on Switch and have you cooked recently?

[crude cape]

well we got ||the sunroom inc, no idea if it'll have a mechanic use with it or not, ormuu pen is for 1 only, piqni pen has multiple animals|| we'll see what happens this year... 😄

[stone gull]

Either alfalfa or timothy.

[iron axle]

Ugh, thank you. I restarted the game lol

[wispy musk]

[onyx venture]

They have changed how their career site lists things, there's now a drop box option - so sounds like they are actively looking for a few things but accepting resumes .. I am guessing that is what the dropbox part means. That wasn't there at least pre beta.

[crude cape]

nutfall circus's arriveth

[iron axle]

Yes and yes lol

[wispy musk]

i wonder what gingers up to…
Also hey yall

[quiet spade]

yeah i saw the dropbox notation and came to the same conclusion

[hearty flicker]

I don't seem to have all the recipes for the Emberborn furniture. I'm missing the small column and fencing for sure. And I've made what I have. Any idea on how to get the inspiration to pop up again? I had it, and then leveled up furniture making or something else, and it hasn't been around since that.

[crude cape]

she's watchin you 👀

[wispy musk]

heh and whys that?

[crude cape]

they've not got emberborn at the start of the name, search the list under L and S

[solid viper]

I kept meaning to friend them when they were giving out their names in game, but forgot

[quiet spade]

i see now under the publishing dropbox description that it includes community management, that makes sense

[onyx venture]

you have to make something you haven't made in the same style as the furniture - but .. if you have made all there is available, then likely waiting for them to appear in the underground market, or see if Tish has more recipes you haven't acquired through inspiration

[wispy musk]

Its GingerbreadWitch, pretty sure theres a typo in her announcement rip

[crude cape]

ALL circus's and clouds must be watched, for the world would not cope 😮 😄

[wispy musk]

Loool. Im not doing anything! Im just watching steven universe with mena for .. uhh… hour 13 (?)

[crude cape]

mena will be the circus guardian

[wispy musk]

We are near the end of season 3 already and its only been 13 hours, lol

[onyx venture]

As to GBW still having the S6 logo. She might have a civilian log in and watching us as we speak

[hearty flicker]

I did look through everything and it's not there. 😕

[crude cape]

then have you done the stormseeker air temple bundle? the bookshelf comes from that (you then make that and get more recipes like others)

[quiet spade]

that was my thought too. If it was created specifically for the role then its probably just abandoned

[hearty flicker]

oh shoot this was supposed to go to the help channel, sorry!

[wispy musk]

oh xrystal!!! i remember ginger said you were really cool lol. Its nice to finally meet you!
Also yeah i guessed she would keep it until someone came online to remove it, or a new cm joined

[crude cape]

we're better than the help channel, we're hawt stuff!

[onyx venture]

yaay fame

[wispy musk]

lololl

[hearty flicker]

I did get the bookshelf, and was able to make a few from there, but not all of them. I've sorted by what I haven't made, there wasn't anything new. I've scrolled through all the furniture and there isn't anything there.

[onyx venture]

It's cool. We're here for new players, but it's just a cool to help a veteran 🙂

[solid viper]

I know Amelia's account was changed (or she made a public facing one and deleted the Sixer one), so it's odd

[onyx venture]

It might be that GBW hasn't come back to the server yet to make the changes etc.

[wispy musk]

huh?

[crude cape]

did you set the filter to show you what you've not made yet?

[hearty flicker]

i did

[wispy musk]

i miss her so muchhh man~ i wonder when she will be back…

[onyx venture]

we may never know 👀

[hearty flicker]

i might just need to submit a bug report. I may be bugged

[wispy musk]

Its been nearly a month since weve spoken aaaauug

[onyx venture]

Have you looked at the emberborn achievement silhouettes to get a clue as to what you're missing ( it has one right ? )

[wispy musk]

we used to chat every single day , i hope shes doin well

[crude cape]

nah they stopped adding them to achieves sadly

[hearty flicker]

My achieves haven't worked for a while either 😅

[onyx venture]

ouch, you have that problem. Mum has that problem too.

[crude cape]

you definitely made the shelf then whatever you picked as your silhouette next and repeat?

[quiet spade]

I'm about to head out for the day y'all. I hope y'all have a great night

[distant wave]

||Did you do the Temple of the Gales bundle? That's how I got fence||

[hearty flicker]

yes, until I either leveled up or something popped up and I couldn't choose another piece. it's not popped up since then.

yep

[round sluice]

Have you looked under "all" instead of "furniture"? Some furnitures are not categorized correctly

[main hull]

I’ll loop back around, thank you!

[unborn parcel]

heyo, what y'all up to

[onyx venture]

I wanted a flour recipe .. that's one way to get rid of some of that wheat

[round sluice]

There are a few recipes which take wheat, but not enough. Besides, bread is tasteh gud

[leaden relic]

Cream of wheat could be on the fire pit. Similar to congee

[unborn parcel]

its confusing when recipes sometimes ask me to use wheat and others to use flour

[hollow tusk]

out of curiosity- does anyone know if there are any palia rp servers?

[slate orbit]

does anyone know if the mask quest is bugged?

[unborn parcel]

I searched last time and i didnt find any that were currently hiring, but a few people have been asking for one already.... low key surprised no one has made one so far

[onyx venture]

I'm bugged with the mask quest, my mum wasn't

[round sluice]

The Devs do not seem to be experts in certain fields. Recipes are often weird, and they seem to know nothing of basic agriculture

[chilly dock]

does anyone know if you can go back and put a referral code in after youve already started the game?

[short lava]

i just learned that everyone gets bugs that pop out of ore they mined even if not everyone smokes the bug

[onyx venture]

One of my initial suggestions was 3 posts long on a farming setup .. from crops to raising animals

[chilly dock]

i think it's same for hunting when they come out of the tree that you chop together

[unborn parcel]

perhaps majiri wheat requires pummeling it into oblivion to assert our dominance / prove our worth and make the flavor submit? like maybe some gourmet majiri cooking procedure we're not aware of?

[solemn bear]

Yes, we need the cow equivilent for milk butter, cheese...and burgers! 😛

[onyx venture]

ormuu 🙂 Just waiting for them to be added to the game as an interactive element

[unborn parcel]

if they get added, I want to place bows on my ormuus' heads

[round sluice]

One of my biggest peeves, about Palian farming, is having to till after certain crops are havested. Specifically, potatoes. They both grow in the ground. Harvesting them automatically tills the soil. We should never have to till, after harvesting them

[muted sky]

is anyone else having trouble finishing the wind temple

[round sluice]

The first farmimg peeve I noticed, though, is the hoe. We have a hoe, but we don't hoe. We have to till, but do not have tillers. Tillers are for tilling, and hoes are for hoeing. This is just wrong

[solid viper]

Tbh, that's not just a Palia thing

[onyx venture]

If you opened the portal to the eyeball island before completing the quest to talk to zeki on the main island .. then welcome to the unfortunate ones

[chilly dock]

me, im one of the unfortunate ones lol

[quasi kelp]

My wind temple bugged before I also did that lmao. The fan to the last island simply never turned on despite all 15 eggs. (WHICH TOOK ME THREE. DAYS. TO FIND THE LAST ONE. Not worth the headache tbh)

[round sluice]

But, hey! That 2nd moon. She's a beaut, amIright?

[solid viper]

Did you also do Elouisa and Calieri's quests?

[wheat bolt]

do I have to wear a pin of someone I'm romancing? i already have both slots filled, and it says if I remove them so I can put in someone else, the character won't be happy

[quasi kelp]

"before i also did that"

[onyx venture]

npcs notice pins being worn .. and perhaps not worn I guess - I'm not doing romance stuff so I don't know more than what has been said on the subject

[unborn parcel]

I do not understand the farming at all and I do not use it so i cannot say nothing on the gameplay lol. Im chilling with the... visual novel + dating sim + open world + puzzles + quest system + exploring for drops + temple + mmo aspects.

wow thats a really convoluted genre right there and i just noticed

[solar kindle]

there's definitely a deepness to farming but you could literally toss some crops in there, water them, harvest them, repeat and make out just fine

[sinful moth]

No you don’t have to.

[wheat bolt]

cool. I'll just keep what I'm wearing then

[solid viper]

Farming is relatively simple.... right up until you start really looking at companion planting, and using fertilizers to try and synch up grow periods, and....

[leaden relic]

Maybe when we get the ormuu mounts, we can feed them carrots, and then they fart and get a speed boost. Do you think that would be too distasteful?

[round sluice]

Right now, I'm mostly building friendships, but farming is how I make 90+% of my 🪙. Being that submerged in it, the... idiosyncrasies get noticed, rather a lot

[onyx venture]

I don't think the ormuus will be mounts .. one of the npcs hint at a different animal for that purpose

[quasi kelp]

you have to put down the 9-plot soil you buy from farmer guy, then use the hoe to make the 9 plots appear and become plantable. you water once a day for one stage of growth per ingame day. i like doing the companion planting but it's designed so you don't have to bother with that if you don't want. i LOVE that plants don't wither

[solid viper]

There's a certain amount of realism that's going to be sacrificed for gameplay, but I get it

[unborn parcel]

i think the game is an ace of all genres, master at none. Like there's farming, but its not excelling in it. And there's a dating system, but also not excelling in it. And mmo, but also not super mmo experience. Puzzles, but not as shiny as other puzzles games, etc.

[quasi kelp]

because you know who can't keep track of how many times they watered per real day much less ingame day? this dude right here loool

[solemn bear]

I wish they would add around 5 more types of plants to give us a better range of companion plant options so multi-harvest and single harvest can be picked between.

[round obsidian]

that seems to fit palia for sure hope they kinda nail down what they wanna be their focuses

[quasi kelp]

i wish you could individually revisit tutorials instead of just having an option to reset all of them

[round sluice]

Honestly, I think it might be cool if feeding our eventual Ormuus, Riffrocs, and domesticated Sernuks the wrong things upset their balances or whatever. Maybe flatulence, maybe they can't move as fast due to discomfort, maybe their milk yield is reduced, or any number of things

[unborn parcel]

if every single gameplay system was polished and taken care of by a specialized team, that would be wonderful

[quasi kelp]

well, it also wouldn't be in beta at that point probably LOL

[solid viper]

I imagine they'll have some sort of happiness meter that you'll need to manage

[unborn parcel]

yeah LOL

[round sluice]

I am so glad failing to water just pauses growth, and doesn't kill them. I have such a brown thumb, IRL. All the poor plants I've touched, and they've then died

[round sluice]

Nooo! I couldn't stand to make an Ormuu unhappy

[topaz comet]

I really hope they focus more on multiplayer in general, tbh. It'd be the huge thing that actually sets it apart from the other countless "cozy" games imo... Game feels almost entirely single player right now except when you chop a tree with someone lmao

[unborn parcel]

I enjoy the visual novel aspect the most, but the quest tracking isn't the best, or the most varied, it's buggy, and the reactions of characters to things isn't super realistic like breaking up with them and they just "aight peace im getting amnesia now to anything and everything related to us dating", or your shepp doing nothing (?) or your prestige and fame points not quite linked to your actual fame in town

[quasi kelp]

i have nearly killed my aloe 3 or 4 times but it's still hanging in there! 🥲

[unborn parcel]

it would be really cool to do some puzzles in temples with friends!!! or even in parties! same for certain special npc quests

[quasi kelp]

ooooh group puzzles would be cool

[round sluice]

I killed an "air plant". All they need is moisture in the air, and I lived in an area with an average humidity of 94+%

[unborn parcel]

and i know we have no pvp but how about small horse races or minigames a la mario-party like

[weak ocean]

That 6% got him

[unborn parcel]

I do something strange to all plants. I don't kill them, but... they somehow go through their entire growth process super super fast, then die. It's like their entire lifespan plays to 250% speed once I touch them

[topaz comet]

what I want are actual multiplayer activities tbh. Not just "I am chopping this tree at the same time you are, wow" but content where you can both work towards a longer term goal.
Like, say, a shared neighborhood space for communities, where ALL their members could build and help shape it.

[round obsidian]

ffxiv had chocobo races like that too! maybe not for everyone but for those that wanna race it’d be fun

[solemn bear]

I don't get the facination with mounts in game, we already have a fast travel system, they just need to let us set up one of those boards on our plot...

[round sluice]

I've though about this. I was thinking along the lines of "X# of platforms, and they have to stepped onto, in a certain order, similar to ||the arrow targets, in Fire temple||. 3-7 platforms reuires 3-7 players, to step on, and stand there, one per platform, in a certain order

[solar kindle]

how about some animal crossing-esque "gathering" missions where the community has to donate X amount of wood to fix the western piers

[unborn parcel]

mount go fast brrrrrrrrr

[quasi kelp]

....small engine attached to glider instead

[solemn bear]

Here is the world we spent so much time designing and making look amazing with the detail and such...and here is the mount that lets you rush through without seeing any of it...

[quasi kelp]

INVENT THE PALIAN JETPACK

[round sluice]

I'd be happy with mount go slow brrr, as long as it has panniers, and can hold All The Things! ™️

[unborn parcel]

i played a co-op puzzle rpg with friends called trine 4, each character has different abilities and you ahve to solve coordination puzzls in which each ability they use combines in a certain way to create a system to activate things, and you can switch abilities with them at any point

[earnest nexus]

I'll be happy with just fast travel being available just outside the housing, if not from the travelling board on our plot.

[devout ledge]

najuma needs to be able to sell her inventions one day

[round sluice]

My biggest travel complaint is with stuff like having to fish in Bahari Bay, on the coast. This either involves a looong run, a teleport and a run, or 2 teleports. That's a lot of time wasted, just for coral, peat, or whatever

[unborn parcel]

I told najuma I wanted to try her new glider/jetpack hybrid and she was like "im fixing a few bugs" and i was like "you merely adopted bugs, i was born in them, molded by them, give me the improved glider"

[solemn bear]

Then you find out the reason the town looks so worn down and damaged is Majiri tech has a strong similarity to WoW Goblin tech.

[severe moat]

Hey do ya'll think later down the line S6 might add skin features like freckles, moles, vitiligo, etc?

[sour shuttle]

I was just like darnnnn I want zoom zooms

[round obsidian]

omg

[unborn parcel]

i want a big mount. Like a car in GTA that can be single player but you can also pull your homies in for a ride. I wanna go around the map with the bois and tell them get in loser we're going FT farming

[stone gull]

Tattoos.

[ionic crag]

You can go around together just FT hunting.

[solemn bear]

You mean the ||Cartel tracking sigils||? 😛

[round obsidian]

that’d be cool

[unborn parcel]

yeah but its a different feeling wheneach go their own way than when everyone is clowning around in the same hyper mega sized chaapa resembling a school bus

[round sluice]

Maybe. We have different skin tones available, than when we started

[stone gull]

Any of them, could reuse the 2D Texture Samples that are in the game now.

[unborn parcel]

im still salty that we have like 7 different eyeliners as makeup options and thats it (and most arent even visible because your eyelashes cover them up)

[severe moat]

Ooooh yes that'd be so cool!!

[stone gull]

Would have to look through the Template Contents, I'm sure it's a 2D sample.

[solar kindle]

anybody seen anything like this before? (yes I will submit a bug report) https://imgur.com/a/UzzKF3t

[gasp!] Einar!

Someone tried to lie but got caught because we can see right through them? 😛

[astral vessel]

ive seen soemthing similar, some other players disappeared just like that

[ionic crag]

@solar kindle is it stuck there?

[solar kindle]

i can move around and still play and interact and everything

[stone gull]

Why not have tattoos and body piercings? - We already have beards.

[unborn parcel]

invisible potion playthrough

[stone gull]

An asset that's being reused now.

[astral atlas]

Oo…I’d like tattoos and piercings

[solar kindle]

I was hopping around einar and accidentally triggered conversation with him while changing my tools via hotkey

[unborn parcel]

... my mind kind of just.
-Cosmetics are the only buyable option in the shop
-Tattooes and makeup are technically cosmetics with no gameplay impact
-One of the outfits already has tattooes included
-Maybe in the future we can buy tattooes and makeup at cheaper prices than outfits

[quasi kelp]

i noticed I tend to become a grey t-posing headless shape more often when i'm wearing items built for the fem frame (my character is masc frame), but any complete absence of my character model has just been a loading delay.

[solemn bear]

Thinking about it, how common would something like piercings be in Palia? Last I checked they were kinda the bread and butter of teenage rebellion, yet I don't think Kenyatta has them or tattoos for that matter?

[solar kindle]

walking around with tools is so strange, the frame rate on it makes it almost look stop motion

[round obsidian]

if their looked down on i’m rioting

[quasi kelp]

i get a lot more "tearing" as well

[unborn parcel]

Jel has a pierced ear so he had to get that done somewhere

[quasi kelp]

Well, how many small villages have their own tattoo parlor?

[unborn parcel]

We need a tattooist / piercing parlor or hairdresser / makeup artist character in palia. Idc if its in the city in a future expansion and not in kilima.

[solar kindle]

if youre a pacific islander, more than you realize lmao

[quasi kelp]

...Ok that is a fair point

[runic cedar]

YES YES YES

[solemn bear]

earrings do look to be a thing at least. But for tattoos...Reth, Chayne, and Ashura are it?

[stone gull]

Would want more submenus so we could do fine adjustments on areas on outfits too, like the Backpack/Syandana or even the Magical Ephemera. Like the Lantern or even that little floating Mushroom.

[runic cedar]

I think hassian has one on his arm

[quasi kelp]

tattoos seem to be religious or otherwise uhhh motivated

[unborn parcel]

your player character can also have them if you buy one of the more expensive glowing costumes. They have glow in the dark swirlies that go tattooed on your skin

[runic cedar]

The pirate costume has earrings which doesn’t give me much hope for free piercings some day…

[quasi kelp]

i have a real bone to pick with the transactions in game tbh

[round obsidian]

[runic cedar]

Yesssss

[solemn bear]

So barring paid for extravagance, it seems tattoos might have more cultural importance linked with them then something to get just for personal expression?

[runic cedar]

It was worse at the beginning but yeah lol

[quasi kelp]

the offset pricing so you buy a pack of "coins" but then don't have enough left over to buy another thing, so you would have to buy another pack of coins....

[runic cedar]

They fixed that a long time ago?

[stone gull]

Maybe I want to wear the Sage outfit with a Sky Captain Jetpack and have a Lantern follow me, while I am wearing a Patisserie Hat. 🤣

[quasi kelp]

and like. why have "coins" at all when they are equal to a penny

that just obscures the price, and makes it more difficult for people like me with number-based disabilities

[unborn parcel]

going back to reality tho, Palia is a game that's an ace of all trades, master of none. So you dont get a 100% involved system at no moment in time, not in farming, not in building, not romancing, not fishing, and not really in the personal expression aspect either. So I wouldnt be surprised we only get tattooes and jewelry and makeup as part of clothing bundles

[stone gull]

That, or the Fungi Forager Hat.

Can you wear the Chapaajama with the Doctor Mask?

[blazing niche]

i try playing paila after animal crossing and every time i play i get server connection lost!!!

[round sluice]

Then, they give us an artificial coin cap equivalent to ~$30,000. 30K, max savings, and free bartering not allowed, except through a very convoluted process

[quasi kelp]

so 300 dollars

[solemn bear]

The legitimate reason to have a premium currency instead of direct purchase of items actually has to do with transaction fees. Companies have to pay a bit for each digital transaction and for really small sums that means they basically get no money from it. By selling currency packs they can do the transaction at a rate that they still make money off of, then using their premium currency can do the $1 and similar microtransactions without them being at a loss.

The wierd purchase sizes on the other hand are just the underhanded method of making it never line up so you need to buy more...

[quasi kelp]

i don't mind giving them money for their hard work. i DO mind feeling like they're trying to trick me into spending more money

[solar kindle]

Yall how long has Najuma had a prosthetic?

[runic cedar]

I’m pretty sure if you buy any bundle (except the first one you can buy at least two things

[solemn bear]

Not saying Palia is doing it, covering premium currencies in online games in general

[stone gull]

They could do a Copper, Silver & Platinum system. 300k Coins would be 1 Silver, and 100 silver would be 1 Platinum. Coins being the Copper.

[round sluice]

There's much lore about it. You have to get to know her, Hodari, and a few others, for it to all piece together

[runic cedar]

They had it like that in the beginningi where you would always have too many coins but they tried to fix it

[sullen parcel]

No matter the reasoning, I'll never like funnymoney currency in games lol

[solemn bear]

And that is a real plus that they worked to make that change.

[potent magnet]

anyone know where subira is on the map?

[runic cedar]

Yeah 🙂

[solar kindle]

i should pay attention to the lore more lmao

[zenith spade]

Just to double check, we dont get anything for giving a weekly gift to maxed out villagers?

[quasi kelp]

Well, it's still clearly based on that predatory kind of pricing scheme and is still confusing enough to me, a person with dyscalculia, that imo they have not fixed it, they just made it less egregious.

[round sluice]

Have you already|| met her, and gone to the party?|| If so, then ||she's in the Inn, in an upstairs room||

[runic cedar]

Is it bad that my fingers are so cold my screen is barely working

[solemn bear]

Eh, I prefer lump sum DLC or subscription models, but if they want to make the game available to all then there aren't too many income models they have as options.

[stone gull]

Chronicles of Elyria, "I was to be a Settler". This is nowhere near that.

[quasi kelp]

Like I said, I don't mind paying them! I am pleased that it's not pay to win, too.

[odd herald]

Where do I go to turn in to get the stormseeker bundle? I have the six medallions needed but the game didn't give me my furniture.

[stone gull]

No lie. That! Was predatory bait.

[solar kindle]

When Palia has its eventual third party crossover, which IP would be the most likely?

[odd herald]

I wnated to play Chronicles of Elyria so badly but my ****** sense told me to stay away.

[solar kindle]

Other than Fortnite, which is like the standard crossover property for Everyone

[odd herald]

Eww you said Fortnite.

[crisp crow]

What's wrong w/ Fortnite

[solemn bear]

People don't put Fortnite in their games, Fortnite puts other things in their games to try and drag more in.

[potent magnet]

yeah ive done that, she just hasent popped up on the map at all

[stone gull]

I followed it back in 2015 or 16. Heard about it through Mortal Online community, and they put a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouth.

[crisp crow]

excuse me?

[solemn bear]

It wasn't the PvE Co-Op survival building game it was advertised to be.

[runic cedar]

Wtf

[solar kindle]

technically true, but i just named it to get it out of the way

[quasi kelp]

Uh....

[sullen parcel]

Never forget the official Palia streams that had them playing an hour of Fortnite at the start time they advertised for Palia then never acknowledging it

[crisp crow]

to me it's just another game lol. I play the lego mode sometimes but other than that it's wtv

[solemn bear]

Honestly, Stardew Valley would be a likely candidate, be amusing if they went for a Terraria one...

[odd herald]

I just don't get the appeal of fortnite.

[tawdry stag]

guys how do i get on top of the light house in Bahari?

[crisp crow]

I think the only thing I and most people i Know don't like about fortnite is the stigma around it from internet culture lol. I watched my friend play an actual game once and it really just felt like any other video game haha

[stone gull]

Hey now, we can all agree on this. Anything is better than H1Z1. 🤣

[crisp crow]

yeah that game I think was pretty lame, I remember playing it when I was testing this new streaming app at my old job (supposed to compete with twitch lol) and it was pretty bad

[quasi kelp]

for me it's that i've known too many people that neglected their children in favor of playing fortnite

[crisp crow]

Yeah, I've heard stories of people who have neglected their children over a lot of video games though

That's on them, not the game, imo. It's like blaming a musician because someone who likes their music did something bad

[quasi kelp]

those games tend to hammer really hard on the same kind of reward systems that get people addicted to gambling

[solar kindle]

world of warcraft has entered the chat

[crisp crow]

^

[round obsidian]

make it leave

[quasi kelp]

it's what it implies about the game and the kind of people playing it

[crisp crow]

hmm

agree to disagree, I guess. I still feel like it's just another game haha. But I think it's just 'cause I know people who play it that are just.. regular people lol

[solemn bear]

It is the effect when you have programs designed to cater to addiciton that are allowed to advertise as games.

[quasi kelp]

the difference between "person that plays fortnite" and "a fortnite player"

[crisp crow]

I think that's kind of extreme, it's just a dumb video game idk why it has to be treated like some kind of sin or something lmao - I don't even play the game aside from recently playing the lego mode and I think you guys are being a little extreme lol

[solar kindle]

it's popular, therefore it sucks

[quasi kelp]

well, it also introduced some new kinds of awful monetization that then became wildly popular in the game industry and that kinda sucks, but it's hardly the only one to do that

[odd herald]

I remember my friends coerced me into playing Fortnite I played it for every bit of 40 minutes and I had to put it down I could literally feel myself dying.

[solar kindle]

God, I'm old enough to remember when Horse Armor was a thing

[crisp crow]

I don't think it introduced them, I think other games have already been awful when it comes to that kind of stuff. It probably just feels worse 'cause Fortnite blew up so much (Responded to wrong post sorry)

[timid smelt]

man how far we have come from that

[solemn bear]

I played for one season...then the next one they ripped out the mechanic I loved...was done after that.

[odd herald]

I mean WoW is popular and so is Minecraft and I think they're ok games. It's not because Fortnite is popular.

I'll keep c/ping if y'all would like since you dont seem to think I'm aware this game is f2p but

[odd herald]

I don't think people would hate microtransaction prices so much if everything wasn't time limited. I played Azur Lane for like three years and that was the only problem I had with the game was that the outfits were so expensive AND time limited.

[quasi kelp]

It's not a microtransaction. it's ten dollars that's just a transaction

[stone gull]

I think no one is getting it @sullen parcel

[potent magnet]

im so confused also what house is the inn

[solemn bear]

What alternate payment model would you prefer they use?

[odd herald]

Purchasing an outfit for $30 in a FTP game is very much a microtransaction it is the literal definition of it.

[sullen parcel]

Pancakes and waffles as per usual

[quasi kelp]

...there's nothing micro about $30

[timid smelt]

Its the giant building in the town next to the smithy

[unique nimbus]

I feel silly for not spending my renown on my focus more than 3 times. I spent a ton on plot land writs instead

[solar kindle]

its where ashura and the freeloader hang out

[solemn bear]

Sure there is, you pay $30 for a microscopic amount of content. 😛

[plush plover]

[odd herald]

We both agree the price is insane but it is still called that.

[quasi kelp]

$30's more than my monthly phone bill. that's just a transaction.

[sullen parcel]

If it helps you feel better, there's more renown you can earn in the game than you can actually use

[potent magnet]

city hall or tavern?

[timid smelt]

eventually you will get it all, adn then be capped and waste SOOO much renown because you are capped. doing focus first just helps you level up faster (Which yes helps oyu build renown faster as well) EDIT: @potent magnet the tavern.

[quasi kelp]

inn = tavern with rooms to rent

[plush plover]

me being a silly increasing my focus cap instead of focus gain.

[timid smelt]

you want to make sure that your cap is at or above whatever food you can most easily make.

[odd herald]

I can't wait for the day when the average game MSRBs for $100 dollars and I am gonna laugh while I enjoy my indie gaming lifestyle.

[crisp crow]

I have a weird question but after the fortnite discussion I'm afraid to ask it lol (omg sorry I keep responding to people by accident for some reason???)

[solemn bear]

We are kinda already there with collectors editions...

[quasi kelp]

taverns serve alcohol. if there's rooms to rent it's an inn. i have no idea why, i just know this is true for the english language

[potent magnet]

thank you! and i really feel silly asking this one, you spend your renown?

[unique nimbus]

This guy 5 months ago played the game 20 hours and somehow had a full farm and two house extensions already and I suspect it was due to his focus boosting

[plush plover]

when I found out that you can also upgrade the amount of focus you consume, my obsession kicked in to balance it with focus cap but it's too late.

[timid smelt]

at the city hall to buy more plots, the phoenix statue where you spawned to increase your focus bonus and at the dragon statue to increase your focus cap

[odd herald]

Collector Editions aren't average price. I'm talking with no extra content, you can't escape paying it, normal retail price.

[solar kindle]

there's two places to spend it, the dragon shrine and phoenix shrine. the phoenix shrine is where you first "spawned" in the game and the dragon shrine is in maji's hollow

[sullen parcel]

If I've learned anything, gamers will get mad at a bad thing happening for 5 minutes, then forget it happened, then embrace it

[quasi kelp]

some companies are already pushing to 80 bucks a pop so you won't have to wait long.

[crisp crow]

Funny, 90% of indie games I play all feel like clones of other existing indie games (to me, at least, this of course just my subjective opinion lol) so I tend to avoid indie games. It's rare I find one I like for more than a day or two haha

[potent magnet]

wow, what is the focus again?

[stone gull]

For this is a free game and I played it now since Aug 10th, and still do today. I spent 20-30$ on one outfit since that time, I think I bought the game.

[solemn bear]

We can't say which is the average price without data on how many are purchased at each tier of pricing.

[timid smelt]

when you eat food, it gives you focus. focus is consumed to give you bonus xp when you do things

[quasi kelp]

That's the bar in the upper left

[odd herald]

I love my indie games but I am very selective of which ones I buy.

[solar kindle]

it could be worse, in the 80s and 90s games were already that expensive, adjusted for inflation lol

[round sluice]

In addition to Dragon and Phoenix, you can also buy Writs, which are permission to expand the amount of land you can build on, within your Plot

[crisp crow]

OK idiot question alert; this game has ZERO plans for macOS support, right? Keeping in mind I'm already aware that "macs aren't for gaming" and etc, I'm just askin

[potent magnet]

ooooooh im so oblivous on what things are called. ugh

[stone gull]

No one else would realize this, until they hit that mark.

[solar kindle]

also if anyone cared my PC's model came back after changing maps lol

[potent magnet]

is there somewhere i can see how much renown i have?

[timid smelt]

its all good. feel free to add me as a discord friend if you want and hit me up with any questions you have. im always willing to help new players

[odd herald]

I went the other route I purchased all my writs and I am now gonna spend the rest on focus.

[plush plover]

Not an idiot question, also, no news yet about MacOS release but it was heavily suggested before and our Community Managers have taken note of it. 🫡

[quasi kelp]

I think it's on the character screen

[potent magnet]

ive been playing for 2 months, but i have a 2 year old and a new puppy so its like maybe 4 hours a week i play ahaha

[true ruin]

I haven't been on in a bit and may have missed it, do we know when the next update is?

[odd herald]

It's at the top of your inventory screen.

[round sluice]

Well, some folks are already trying to make it work (well) in Linux. Macs are, effectively, Linux, already. I suppose it's not beyond the pale. But officially, it seems unlikely

[solar kindle]

check your inventory (I key) it's next to your gold

[potent magnet]

dang! i must be missing out on alot though cuz its capped at 1k

[crisp crow]

yeah, I have it running on my mac but it's unofficial and I'm running an update on the client for it now and it's... taking... like.. 40 minutes for some reason. Might just play on the Legion Go : /

The game runs fine unofficially but I worry about playing via unofficial channels due to like.. some people considering it a window for cheating and etc

[solar kindle]

i wouldnt worry about it too much the game throws renown at you like candy lol just spend half at each shrine

[round sluice]

Devs know we're playing it, on Linux. There are chans, in the Discord, related to that. As long as Devs don't think of it as cheating, others can get well stuffed

[odd herald]

I can't even imagine the extra hoops you have to jump through to game on Mac. My condolensces and respect. You are a trooper bro.

[potent magnet]

lol ive almost got everyones keys and done almost all the quests. fml

[solar kindle]

that's honestly really impressive

[odd herald]

I'll be honest I couldn't do it. I don't have the patience to deal with Mac because of all the compatibility issues.

[crisp crow]

oh it's pretty easy

Someone else made a tool lol. I don't PC game much, and I'm a musician / heavy Logic Pro user so the mac seems like a no brainer for me, BUT I have a Lenovo Legion Go for gaming.. the PC controller support in Palia right now is just kind of buggy

[flat wing]

That tower mini game, I just discovered it today. It is surprisingly difficult. I feel like I'm Alice in wonderland when I go into it.

[crisp crow]

But yeah so far, thanks to Crossover and some GPTK stuff that's floating around, getting games to run on mac is super easy; it's just a question of whether it works for not, which is the bummer

[solemn bear]

So, for those that might be interested. Totaled up the list of premium outfits on the wiki and the total cost in Palia coins comes to 141,084 Now this doesn't cover gliders as I didn't see them on the list here.

[odd herald]

When I first discovered the Tower my mind flashed back to a Civvie11 episode... "Whenever I boot up a game I know within five minutes if it's gonna be an episode."

[solar kindle]

i tried the tower without the glider i damn near tore my hair out before giving up

[odd herald]

I played another game years ago, the name of which I cannot mention, and I found out then I was a glutton for punishment.

[quasi kelp]

i think gliders are 450 a pop

[odd herald]

That's actually not that bad.

[solemn bear]

850 I think...

[open plaza]

When you ask a character what they want and go to give it to them the next day and the don’t want it anymore 😭😭😭

[quasi kelp]

...well. always doublecheck a number if I say it 😂

[odd herald]

Plus I like the fact you can purchase the first outfit in a set and the 2nd and 3rd are half off. That was a very sweet detail.

[solar kindle]

ive got palia open right now lol it's 425 each or 849 for the bundle

[solemn bear]

I think there are 3-4 glider variations for purchase? adding $50 to the total would cover it and not change the overall price much sadly.

[odd herald]

I'm talking outfit I haven't purchased gliders.

[quasi kelp]

so you could spend about $200 on this game over time

[crisp crow]

how the heck do I give a gift to someone

[solar kindle]

oh my dragon i finally found a firebreathing dragonfly lmao

[tawdry patrol]

oof i feel bad because i found one just running by mirror fields today when i wasn't looking for it. i stole your luck!!

[solemn bear]

...$1,410.84 if you do a 1 cent per palia coin conversion.

[crisp crow]

oop wait, the newbies chat

[quasi kelp]

there's three little icons on the left side of the conversation screen. the middle one looks like a gift box. click that, and it opens your inventory.

[odd herald]

If the total price for the shop is 141K coins and they're selling 11K coins for $99 how did you come up with 141K coins being $200?

[quasi kelp]

not moving the decimal far enough moving the decimal too far

[odd herald]

Can I just say that compared to the many mobile and PC games I played over the years Palia's shop is pretty cheap and doable?

[tawdry patrol]

at the very least it tempts me less than many gacha games do

[sullen parcel]

Eh, anecdotal evidence, I've found the opposite in my experience

[solemn bear]

We have very different definitions of cheap...I will say I have seen worse though./

[quasi kelp]

Yes, everyone's finances are exactly the same at all times.

[odd herald]

@tawdry patrol That's the beautiful part this game has no Gacha.

[sullen parcel]

tell that to Zeki

[tawdry patrol]

that's what is saving my wallet LOL

[odd herald]

Yeah but that Gacha is free since it only uses a in game item which is acquired in game.

[solemn bear]

Time is a currency all it's own.

[odd herald]

Also I found out yesterday Heavy Metal Chapaa has an attack function.

[tawdry patrol]

very philosophical

[sullen parcel]

I don't get why so many people don't realize that here lol

[odd herald]

Yeah but time is like energy from the sun it's basically free. We haven't gotten to the grimdark future where you purchase longevity yet.

[quasi kelp]

like, it's not the worst pricing i've seen, but even if it's not THE MOST predatory pricing doesn't mean it isn't still a bad thing so going "um actually it's not that expensive" is just...🤦

[sullen parcel]

Where can I get this free time so I have more hours in the day to do a thing

[quasi kelp]

it took me MUCH too long to figure out how to duck

[round sluice]

My current Starstone hoardings holdings are 463 stones = 223,450 🪙

[odd herald]

Well the alternative is Palia turns into a subscription service and you'd end up with MTNs anyway because in most games the subscription does not cover the full development burn.

[worldly seal]

Great…. It’s time for me to catch that dragonfly…. Hopefully none of the newbies run over there and scare them away 😭😭

[sullen parcel]

I'll be real, games with subscriptions are almost always much better quality than f2p games because they don't need to rely on MTX

[quasi kelp]

this just in: only two methods to fund a videogame. lol

[odd herald]

Those are the two major ones the rest are just hybridization of those two.

[quasi kelp]

I just want games to be clear and honest about pricing, and that is apparently not something you can comprehend, so I'm not going to discuss that with you any further, Arfoire

[round sluice]

Sell it. Rent it. MTN it. Merch it. Did I miss any?

[solemn bear]

I honestly liked the plan Wizards 101 used, and ESO does to an extent, base game free, DLC can be acquired by subscription to maintain access or one time purchase to permanently unlock.

[odd herald]

How much clearer do they need to make it? They have a screen you SEE the rates. What are you not comprehending sir?

[leaden crypt]

good luck to you I hope you find it quick, easy, and without issue

[odd herald]

Look at the end of the day Palia is a product made by a for profit company who has employees to pay and facilities to upkeep that is the long and short of it. If you can't understand that your the one with the problem.

[quasi kelp]

"I'm not going to discuss that with you any further" :)

[sullen parcel]

Now if people could realize that f2p is a business model and not a charity and thus f2p doesn't mean infallible....

[plush plover]

**Hi everyone, I can see that we're starting to get a little heated in here. I just want to remind everyone of a few things:

• Be respectful of each other. People don't have to love the things you love, that's okay. We can disagree respectfully.
• Remember that tone is hard to read over chat, and it's easier to ascribe negative tone than positive interpretations.
• We are all working together to build a healthy and diverse community, and it does take work.
• If you are finding that you're responding in anger or snapping back, it's okay to disengage and take a break.**

[solemn bear]

Is it bad that every time I see that Chappa peak up I get the reflex to play Wack-a-mole? 😛

[quasi kelp]

I have motion turned off so it's just a brown bar to me.

actually that reminds me i need to report that the motion sickness settings Do Nothing lol

[solar kindle]

I have a question for yall:
who is the best villager, and why is it Tau?

[tawdry patrol]

tau because he is cute and puppy

[solemn bear]

Eshe, she is the only one working to keep the madhouse together! 😛

[quasi kelp]

(Unconditional affection.)

[odd herald]

Best villager? Probably Tish technically Tamala isn't a villager because she lives in the wilderness.

[craggy carbon]

Is Jina's level 3 quest bugged? It hasn't popped up for me.

[odd herald]

You may have to wait for the next Palia day I had that with Tamala's level 2 romance quest.

[lucid oar]

What, a bug in a Palia quest???

[craggy carbon]

ahhh dang. I need her key to finish the ||Masks|| quest.

[odd herald]

Yeah. But if it's any consolation Jina is a nice girl.

[proud karma]

jina my beloved

[craggy carbon]

I love her haha

[solemn bear]

We don't need the three chappas in a trenchcoat image, we need the stack of bugs in a trenchcoat holding a '!' sign over their head.

[solar kindle]

whoa TIL you get renown for filling player requests

[odd herald]

I like Jina as a friend she's a nice girl and she has her funny moments.

[proud karma]

player requests don't seem to pop up very often for me is that just timing or am I in less populated servers or something?

[solemn bear]

Ask in chat for requests.

[tawdry patrol]

i think a large part of it is just timing. server hopping is a good way to find more active requesters, but like necrovore says, asking for requests is good to do as well

[worldly seal]

One of the amazing community members helped me in game 😭❤️

[leaden crypt]

nice! I'm glad it worked out easy for you

lmao I was wondering why I wasnt moving, was typing in here on accident 👀 whooops glad I didnt send that spam for automod to bonk me again

Jina is a great first character to meet, i immediately adored her.

she is interesting & strange & full of energy & life & a great introduction character I think :>

[mossy blaze]

i must return to my jina!!

[tawdry patrol]

i salute the litte mod!

As long as they aren't holding the banhammer...

[prime scaffold]

anyone wanna fish with me (na)

[blissful plume]

Hello everyone

[keen frigate]

Just giving a friendly reminder, please do not send random friend requests. At least not for the time being. Currently there is a bug where the person receiving it may be unable to decline the request as it keeps showing up. Currently the only solution is to either just accept it, or block the player. I know you want to make friends, but please, just a simple "Hey can I add you to my friend list?" is all it takes. Thanks.

[proven mountain]

I had this happen to me so I ended up blocking the person

[valid cedar]

Hi is there a way to change my in game username? Or would a team member be able to change it for me?

[keen frigate]

I believe it's permanent.

[plush plover]

No possible way to change username in-game.

[valid cedar]

Aw man :/ gotcha thanks for the fast responses 🙏

[quasi kelp]

A friend request crashed me earlier but I have a lot of video memory issues (aging computer) so i assumed it was on my end; is it maybe an actual bug?

[keen frigate]

Yeah I have had to do the same so far. I plan to remove them once the issue is resolved but personally I just prefer to have people I plan to play with on my friend list over someone who can't even say hi before they add me. Not trying to be anti-social because I do engage in calling out flow trees and palium ores.

[simple tinsel]

whats happening to the devs?

[elfin ruin]

They just got back from winter vacation on Monday, two working days have passed. I'm sure they're catching up on things

[warped imp]

did anyone else crash?

[woven otter]

I admit, I've been a little concerned that there has been no word from them, even a hey, we're back at it, would be nice

[leaden relic]

buckin' sernuks are so glitchy

[quasi kelp]

i like when they walk backwards.

[leaden relic]

they're the best moonwalkers ever. the chaapas are jealous

[round sluice]

Ah, yes; the Moonwalk

[keen frigate]

The game may crash for any number of issues, likely not due to hardware unless your system is struggling. I'm using an AMD 5700X 16 GB RAM and 4070 card and I still get random crashes now and then, usually when transitioning to my plot.

[elfin ruin]

#💬│palia-general message

[round sluice]

Agreed. The "drive-by" friendings are really annoying

[woven otter]

that helps, thank you - I've been keeping an eye on news and status, hoping for a peep there 🙂

[spring ibex]

Yo how we doing

[keen frigate]

Although I don't agree with the reasoning behind it I can still understand why people do it, it's just with the bug in place right now it makes it far more cumbersome for those who don't want it to decline.

[proven mountain]

I get these all the time and I'm like bro we smacked a rock once. We ain't friends

[round sluice]

I've gotten them with out even that much contact. Some folks just shotgun the entire list of players in server

[raven orbit]

Is anyone else having login troubles?

[quasi kelp]

i am constantly crashing because it has used all the video memory. it's not the only game that does it; my computer is both out of date and has some connection issues internally. if i had a soldering iron it'd probably take me twenty minutes to fix, but alas.

[sullen parcel]

Yeah I've tried to explain to people that not only is it bad MMO etiquitte to do so, it's gonna get them mass blocked in Palia for the simple reason of the friend list bug that's been here since day 1

[quasi kelp]

I didn't know there was a bug about it, which is good to know. It's bad internet etiquette to randomly add people, so y'know...

[keen frigate]

I'm sorry did you say since day 1? As in since the game first launched? I know it's been in beta for awhile so bugs are expected but if they've yet to fix something that is a core part of their game then that's on the devs.

[cinder laurel]

When did the game launch?

[keen frigate]

I forget but it's been out for months I believe, this is something that should have already been fixed since the game heavily relies on interaction from the community.

[tawdry patrol]

what do you mean it will get them banned?

[quasi kelp]

I think she means blocked by players en masse

[sullen parcel]

I've had the same people on my friends list since open beta started a few months back that I can't get rid of. And there are other bugs that have been going on for months (before anyone comes at me with "but the achievement bug is super complicated that's why it hasn't been fixed" yes I know, please dont well actually me again LOL)

OOPS I mean blocked yeah sorry

[tawdry patrol]

oh haha ok that makes more sense 😄

[sullen parcel]

I'm typing and watching twitch and playing sandrock and RPing simultaneously LOL

[keen frigate]

Hmm.

[tawdry patrol]

a jack of all trades 😄

[leaden relic]

is sandrock any good or is it full of bugs?

[sullen parcel]

I've run into a small handful of glitches but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a quick reload. It's definitely a chonky game, over 100 hours into it right now, lots of fun and great characters. Been loving it

[quasi kelp]

...those aren't mutually exlusive...

[wide lodge]

Do you all think palia will get a lot more bugs fix? where can we find the future updates and ideas?

[sullen parcel]

Amusingly most of the bugs I've run into in Sandrock are because there's so much in the game; it can sometimes glitch out when events overlap LOL but I only ever had one that I had to load an earlier save for

[odd herald]

I got Sandrock played it for months I don't think I'm even 40% done.

[sullen parcel]

Yeah it has a crazy amount of content. like seriously i'm 100 hours in and I'm still going through the story

[minor bane]

If I break up with someone can I date then again down the line? Or has that not been tested

[frail vapor]

you can just remove their pin but keep the romance

[leaden crypt]

you can, I've done it to make sure you could. you don't redo any of the quests though, once you do them they're done

[wind tinsel]

Finally got delialas key

[minor bane]

Ah got it. Thanks!

[teal stump]

Has anyone else have a problem looking for the pebbles like the blue one or small one?

[ruby gull]

I'm stuck in my house D:

[regal bone]

I'm stuck in bahari, everytime I try to go home it says can't finalize the server connection 😦

[unborn parcel]

im stuck in my bed and ok with this

[solemn bear]

Maybe there is a meta game we are missing, if you are less likely to be tossed onto a server with people who have blocked you...what if the reason for the mass friend invites is with the intent of most blocking you, that way simple matchmaking would force you into more empty servers, just keep doing it till you stop seeing people and lose all competition for resources...

[ruby basin]

of course i picked the time the server crashes to do my honey lures

[misty schooner]

I've had one or two pebbles that Simply Do Not Exist for me

[kind ember]

Same

Stuff is on fire again 🔥 🛟 🖥️

Yes, 731 Palians a head of me.

[minor bane]

Is the team still on break?

[karmic river]

It's my first chance to pick up the switch all day!

[exotic blade]

it was bad a few days ago, but it resolved eventually. just be patient

[storm flower]

Mine went from 619 to 119 so it’s going down somewhat lol

[spiral bane]

Omg it’s worse 1060

[unborn parcel]

people seem to be getting in little by little

[tame cargo]

Please screenshot. For the lolz

[hushed patrol]

Ya it wouldn't let us go to the Bay area. So we hard rest the game and sitting at 323 ahead of me

[graceful marlin]

At this point the better question might be are they ever coming back?

[naive fog]

Just got in my home.

[misty gull]

Y’all I was so stressed - 931 people in front of me! Immediately thought “what is happening! Gotta go to the Discord 😂”

[nova bluff]

I put it in memes

[hushed patrol]

Why is the wait so long

[red ember]

i don't think palia being in beta really matters for that tho

[quasi kelp]

LOL. it matters.

[open plaza]

Servers just go down frequently

[novel crescent]

They try to keep to a bi weekly update schedule

[cobalt sparrow]

It absolutely matters. There's also what's called a code freeze. Palia is likely in a code freeze period right now. Where they CAN NO update.

[blissful plume]

Hello everyone

[sullen parcel]

🍿

[cobalt sparrow]

Small shop throughout the holidays... I wouldnt be surprised.

I think with the release of the switch and how buggy it can be returning sooner may of been a better option but I also get break time so lol

Ngl I don’t know much abt game servers but I do know beta games be buggy and have wack servers

[red ember]

i worded that poorly, i mean to say that we should expect at least a text update because its in beta and s6 is a full company with one project

[open plaza]

Ah ok

[storm harbor]

I believe the servers are AWS, so they're as reliable as Amazon. Not sure about the game code though

[cobalt sparrow]

They are still techinally a smaller firm. @red ember They're not Blizzard.

[spiral bane]

I mean it’s free game other than the side purchases what do you want

[sullen parcel]

Bingo!!! what do I win

[lucid oar]

No, they haven't been around for more than a month

[red ember]

there are lots of small mmo devs that update weekly or biweekly

[novel crescent]

They have been on holdays

[hushed patrol]

Who?

[red ember]

IMC games for one, granted ToS is a smaller MMO now

[lucid oar]

S6 is NOT a small developer

[cobalt sparrow]

I'd also like to know... and what size are the updates 😄

[red ember]

Where did I say large updates? I said a text post update, not bug fixes during the holidays

[solemn bear]

Less then a month, last patch was a hotfix on the 19th of December

[lucid oar]

Who the heck in Los Angeles goes on holiday for more than a month? No one. I live here.

[worldly plinth]

Wish I got 3-4 weeks vacation when my project wasn't even done.

[hushed patrol]

What kind of content do you guys realistically think they are going to bring to the game?

[maiden girder]

Is it...safe to go load into a different area?

[oak sluice]

if you romance more than one charecter to the charecters get upset at u

[cloud scarab]

no

[astral vessel]

kinda, sorta

[unborn parcel]

try it for the plot development

[visual crest]

Did you ever get an answer for this? I am having the same problem. I'm at gardening level 9 and have only 7 plots down but I'm getting a message that I've reached my purchase limit. Is there some other condition needed to purchase the last 2?

[lucid oar]

There are so many glitches. Many people are glitched on the new Temple Quest, and they will not fix it.

[sage pebble]

No, even if you're wearing their pins, they don't get upset. They do have some spicy dialogue though 🙂

[open plaza]

You can have 2 partners I believe

[frail vapor]

I've never had any of the characters acknowledge any of my other romances, other than Nai'o and Kenyatta

[cobalt sparrow]

a new skin and one bug fix != update @lucid oar Software peeps all the time. I know I was off the last two weeks of december and 1st week of Jan... so...

[chilly dock]

im not even looking for more content yet, i just want the temple of gales bug to be fixed 😦

[novel crescent]

There was a Hotfix for Switch on Dec 19th?

[oak sluice]

wdym spicy

[lucid oar]

Oh, yes, they fixed the store! I forgot about that. -_-

[worldly plinth]

All they told me was "known glitch" I'm stuck at 8 plots

[open plaza]

Spicy 😏😏😏

[blissful plume]

Hello everyone

[errant isle]

yeah I just loaded into Bahari just fine

[sage pebble]

Like, if you're wearing Tish's pin and romance Reth, he'll mention you being with his sister. But ultimately, he doesn't care.

[cobalt sparrow]

@chilly dock which bug?

[hushed patrol]

Well I was asking what yall thought would be coming not if you want more to come 🙄

[spiral bane]

I want more story

[oak sluice]

oh okay i just got to my first relationship level lmao i dont know about pins yet

[unborn parcel]

reminded me of how the store could never sell us snowballs so they decided to ditch capitalism and go the comrade option and just give everyone always rations of snowballs

[chilly dock]

not seeing zeki on the main island

[cobalt sparrow]

Oh thatd suck

[sullen parcel]

my mailbox is going to forever to be overflowing with snow

[worldly plinth]

I bet the majority here don't get 3-4 weeks vacay a year. 🤣

[oak sluice]

do they have a use or can i just keep selling them

[astral vessel]

i dont even use the snowballs... 😭 i sell them every morning

[unborn parcel]

when i open it i hear the urss hymn playing in my head

[cobalt sparrow]

@mars snowball fights!

[chilly dock]

i just keep selling them lol

[sullen parcel]

If the glassdoor reviews werent' so bad I'd wanna work there just for that vacation time LOL

[open plaza]

You can throw them otherwise not really

[cloud scarab]

seems the queues might be fixed?

[oak sluice]

okay but actual uses

[lucid oar]

Yes, many people have that glitch

[teal stump]

Ok all I need is the blue pebble but I didn’t spawn

[quasi kelp]

I can't throw the snowballs 🥲

[sullen parcel]

Just throwing at people. Or selling them.

[oak sluice]

hodari so true so true

[cobalt sparrow]

I took 9 weeks total last year

[unborn parcel]

equip your bugbelt, and then switch from smoke bombs to snowballs

[lucid oar]

You can throw them

[chilly dock]

you have to do it with the bug belt

[dire thorn]

And I literally just found out about the
Sprint button

[quasi kelp]

WHAT 😂 it doesn't say that anywhere does it

[open plaza]

Uhuh 😩😩😩😩
I always go to najuma like “yo wsgud can I kiss you dad”

[atomic ocean]

Does anybody know what "Ball Launcher Tool Acquired" refers to? I haven't been able to find anything on the line.

[unborn parcel]

me when i finally could use the autorun button on both switch and pc

[lucid oar]

Maz, do you live in LA and work as a coder or game developer?

[lucid vault]

Where can I advertise my community? Can I drop my invite here?

[cobalt sparrow]

Coder in cyber security.

[oak sluice]

i just got to his first relationship level and it says i have to get najuma to lvl 4, lmao shes almost there but i want it NOW !!! i cant wait another day

[unborn parcel]

#1135682474324807681

[lucid oar]

Well, I want that job for all that time off.

[lucid vault]

Ty!

[worldly plinth]

Sus

[open plaza]

Real, I’m not at actual relationship level with him yet unfortunately

[cobalt sparrow]

One of my coworkers took 12 weeks off. Easier to give us time off than hiring new folks 😉 they're serious about "burn out" in the industry.

[blissful plume]

Hello everyone]

[lunar raven]

are they finally coming back to fix the bugs in game?

[oak sluice]

only reason i kept playing hello hodari bbg whats good

[storm pendant]

are the items in Zekis Underground market Gobal or local?

[chilly dock]

whoa, 12 weeks off is crazy lol

[lucid oar]

This is the exception, not the rule, unless you work at your company or S6.

[shy root]

Bloop

[cobalt sparrow]

Truly not, more and more people are coming around to "unlimited time off"

[red ember]

i'm kind of hoping they give us a bit of an update or content roadmap this year, i'm curious to see where they're going to take things

[sullen parcel]

12 weeks off is insane for America. anything over 2 weeks is rare

[open plaza]

OMG FRRRRRRR
I was literally forced to play palia I would not be playing if I didn’t like the characters

[lunar raven]

am more interested to see how they gonna expand the story. seeing how the 4 elemental temples are confined to kil/bahari

[worldly plinth]

Lol 6% of employers offer it. Cap

[oak sluice]

yeah its feeling kinda dry rn and player driven and ive only been playing for a little bit. trying to catch a blue marlin for the first time and screaming and crying

[modern zinc]

I thought you were joking

[shy root]

Hahaha nope. 🤣

[red ember]

yeah I think the game has a lot of interesting lore they can work with, i definitely want more of it

[lucid oar]

Doesn't Hodari give you a blue marlin?

[oak sluice]

uh i dont think so? he wants one

[cobalt sparrow]

I mean if you're looking at jobs for burger flipping and retail... and include that in that broad scope then yes.... I'd say 6% offer it. Unlimited it ALMOST standard in my industry. And if it's not we negotiate for it.

[shy root]

Earlier I had a friend say “eyeball” so I could find him because switch typing my user would’ve been miserable

[open plaza]

Good to know

[unborn parcel]

im an artist (i dont wanna say where or what specifically i do but) the work rotation is crazy in my industry

[oak sluice]

waiting for gift cycle to reset please free me from this hell palia

[open plaza]

It reset for me alr

[lucid oar]

And cyber security makes up what percentage of jobs in America?

[novel crescent]

It says unlimited PTO on their careers page

[modern zinc]

Too funny

[candid charm]

Are villager gifts the same for everyone?

[red ember]

this is kinda what i've been thinking as well

[oak sluice]

oh maybe its done lemme go see

[solemn bear]

Not enough going by all the data leaks we keep hearing about. 😛

[open plaza]

No everyone likes different things

[astral vessel]

unlimited PTO seems unfathomable 😭 i can't imagine having that ability tbh

[cobalt sparrow]

I mean, it makes up 100% of my jobs 😄 that's what matters to me.
