(easy step up without playing)

[near hinge]

I won't lie it took me a little bit to learn ins and out but it's nothing as hard as MMOs I've played for years and free right now doesn't hurt

[celest flax]

Everyday there is a spot total 5 for Rummage Pile, it takes 2 mins to fast run to these locations, after 1st week you know the track (Not aimed at you @near hinge

[near hinge]

LOL, no problem. I

I'm heading off, need to sleep. It was vety nice talking to you @celest flax

[celest flax]

No worries mate sleep well my friend

[near hinge]

So tired now spelling went straight out the door 🙂

[celest flax]

You ZL?

Oops NZ*

[near hinge]

I'm in the U.S. in the Carolinas

[celest flax]

Ah and wow ok sleep well

[near hinge]

Add me as as friend if you wish

[celest flax]

Done

[near hinge]

🙂

[celest flax]

I aint Grumpy lol

[near hinge]

Good to know LOL

[celest flax]

Rest well matey

[near hinge]

Accepted friend, I will try

[celest flax]

Was either Dropbear or Grumpy pmsl

[coral coral]

Yes the graphic on her relationship page is outdated (same thing with Najuma 4, they have a couple discrepancies to clean up)

[oak siren]

the only pickup lone i will ever use ever again 😂

[burnt laurel]

im dying over here, this game has a mission against me and it's doing an amazing job

itdoesntevensay impekible DDDDDDx

I dunno your taste but
Something low key: white or pale yellows
Something more flashy: purple, black
Something homey: orange, muted greens

I just used the star wallpaper on every single wall and the waves on the ceiling because no sense of good taste will stop me from doing what i want

[abstract lark]

you can put something on the ceiling? tried wall and floor tiles and couldn't

[timber walrus]

Does Subira exit her room ?

[burnt laurel]

Not the ceiling, ceiling, but the triangle part of the house thats closest to the ceiling, registers as a different part of the wall.

[abstract lark]

you almost gave me hope, don't do that

[burnt laurel]

Hope is great tho. Good pain. Sometimes. (Cries in rainbow tip)

[kind gazelle]

I did it with plain red. Looked good somehow with the roof color.

[meager birch]

i liked and chose the orangeish one and the pale yellow one, but i also used the others as well on several sides of my complex

[oak siren]

i just wish we could change the stone. i also did red but i wish i could get more of a brick shape for the stone foundation part

[meager birch]

yes i'm also interested in changing the wooden structure to stone or something

[kind gazelle]

this is what it looks like

looking like a toy house

[oak siren]

i think we did the same house layout too lol

[burnt laurel]

One day ill take a pic of my abomination, im so proud of it. It’s absolutely bad.

[iron bay]

Why is my character bending with the camera

[fading horizon]

what locations? i tried googling but they dont say

[abstract lark]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1172250012873408615

[abstract lark]

if only you could change roof color to match

[narrow oyster]

They make house roof blue and gazebo roof brick red, with no way to change them

[coral coral]

She does not

[timber walrus]

That's a pity, I would love to see her going around and do some magic.

[gritty socket]

She'll probably get more of a routine later, I'd imagine

[abstract lark]

she's probably not part of kilima and was introduced early

[crystal topaz]

I hope they add more pathing in general. Tamala shouldn't be standing around npwhere for hours, Einar should visit the village and perhaps even go to the western docks to fish some.

Just more movement in general.

[narrow oyster]

Yes that is great suggestion to add immersivity to the game

[coral coral]

I love the way Einar walks all for him walking around more

[snow rampart]

My pickaxe holding on for dear life after I found myself on an empty server where every palium spawn spot had a 100% palium respawn rate.. No rocks ever.

[abstract lark]

holy mother of palium

[snow rampart]

Righttt?
If you ever find yourself on an empty Bahari server, milk it! Haha

[solar crown]

[round lynx]

I hate that he doesn’t walk around as much anymore… man talks about going to the inn a lot and all the way to the farm but he never does it in game

[abstract lark]

would he fit through the inn door?

[round lynx]

Yeah if he crouches

[abstract lark]

bro, crouching einar waddling to get through the door
"How do you do, fellow humans?"

[round lynx]

Yeah

[languid fiber]

I'm not jealous. YOU'RE JEALOUS!

[lime mirage]

Running spaghetti code in Palia. Space !!! Space !! I'm in Space ! Finally !! The Palian final frontier !

[round lynx]

How come this thing has stars but the literal sky doesn’t

What is wrong with this game

[azure pumice]

Star in the Sky DLC for only $9.99

I just ran around the bahari bay tower and fell through the ground

[cosmic oak]

10/10

[novel flax]

i used dark green, it gave it a nice foresty comfy feel and blended nicely to the trees so my house doesnt stand out TOO much

[tardy obsidian]

FOUR amethyst lmao, thanks for confirming they stealth nerfed it to death. 2 weeks ago I was geting 4 per 100 ore.

[nova pivot]

Known bug. Have reported it; S6 then says it's fixed; I drop through there again and report it; rinse and repeat.

[snow rampart]

Haha oh they absolutely did. The drop rate is abysmal

[languid fiber]

Can we move the nodes away from the sewer entrance? Half the time when I go to collect what I've hit, I end up zoning.

Also, uncomfortable question, but... right clicking in chat crashes Unreal. If I try to report an abusive player I get crashed almost every time and because I don't log my gameplay, I often lose the name of the person I'm trying to report/block/whatever (sometimes it's Kudos, but my concern in the blocking/report function). I didn't see anything about this in the Dev Update, does anyone know if this is a priority fix for them?

[vocal cargo]

Known issue. Mentioned in #📢│palia-status

[brisk spruce]

you can also report them from the friends list menu. under your friends & community members it lists the other people on the server, find the "..." on the person's name and report from there so that you don't have to worry about losing their name while we wait for them to fix it

[craggy shell]

We still can't make purchases in the store?

[gritty socket]

It's odd, because it seems to be fixed for some, but not for others? Hopefully they get it fixed in the next patch or so, because a lot of folks are going to be coming into some extra money soon. I was even considering buying a few winter outfits

[craggy shell]

I wanted to redo my wardrobe T^T

[jolly idol]

I think mine works now but I’m gonna hold out for patch day

[quartz sand]

Hey everybody, new here! Was wondering where people shared the locations of the daily piles

[deft cape]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1172250012873408615

[quartz sand]

Thank you!

[tardy thorn]

Yeah sometimes the in-game info for quests is below minimal.

[celest maple]

What is the best way to level up hunting fast? I have the best bow and level 19 now.

[livid cove]

So I kinda like the Palia soundtrack. If I wanted to buy it and/or download it, where would I look? I'm not interested in dealing with a streaming service for music. Or anything.

[summer obsidian]

I think it's on iTunes. I have been listening to it on Spotify, but you said no streaming services

[mossy torrent]

Why are there so many apple cake parties now? It is better than the celebration cake?

[robust blade]

Apple cake is just celebration cake made with apples (not blueberries)

[mossy torrent]

Oh, I have done cake parties before with apples and they still just called it celebration cakes. Thanks!

[robust blade]

Np! I think the terms used in discord just shifted over time

[lime mirage]

A suggestion for future. We need a fish Market where we could sell our catches from 6AM to 10AM. 🐡

Managed by Einar

[fading basalt]

Hiii! I'm new to Palia and was wondering if there is any news on Palia being brought to the Switch? I know it's coming this winter but I'm scared it's going to be delayed (I hope this is the right section)

[trail cloud]

Still holiday 2023

[fading basalt]

That's fair I just really want to get my mum to get into it! But she only has the switch

[trail cloud]

Yeah they didnt adjust the release date so hopefully they are still on track and just have Nintendo do the announcement or something

Gonna be a rough launch though with all the bugs/performance issues I would guess

[fading basalt]

Perhaps! But I mean, when do Nintendo games launch without a plethora of bugs and performance issues

Only thing I'm concerned about is mum has a Switch Lite, I feel like that will really struggle. The normal switches should be fine, my deck runs is perfectly fine at least.. I know it's a bit more powerful but it seems to already be really good for handheld

[wraith ravine]

Is there a Switch release date available yet???

[dense smelt]

Bud just read a few messages up.

[wraith ravine]

Thank you❤

[storm yacht]

it's been a week and I havent gotten any furnishing from the rummage piles. I think the rates are rather ridiculous and it's making not want to play the game 😦

[lyric night]

recipe are at a ~0.6% chance, they are meant to be obtained on the long run

[storm yacht]

thats the thing, I dont think they should resort to rng for making content last longer.

[lyric night]

the whole game is rng based

[thick sundial]

Honestly I would be worried about the Switch release but the track record speaks for itself - it will be a freaking mess at launch and likely for a long time after. I doubt the user experience would be equal to that of PC, and the PC experience is marked by constant bugs that have gone unfixed.

[gleaming crag]

well long term daily gathering, just pray they dont add more to it cause i only got 1 so far and that still feels lucky to me 🙄 at some point if you want one thing from zeki balls that will be horrible rng based

[south plaza]

lol wut... she's not even IN her room yet. And what's with the first dialog option lol

[sharp wasp]

@crisp rain

[crisp rain]

i dont see that, i see this

[sharp wasp]

you're not in the mirror

[crisp rain]

oh whats mirror then

[delicate delta]

It can only be the mirror in Jels shop

[crisp rain]

OHHH i was in wardrobe, i didnt know u could acess the mirror-

[tardy obsidian]

Careful Alice, don't fall through.

i cant stop laughing

[weak wigeon]

People!! I wanna know what you think... ¿Would you like seeing the romanceable characters moving into our houses (Like in SV for example), seeing them around our plot or having more romantic interactions? Also, ¿would you like being able to have a real pet that you can interact with? Our own little plumehound or something similar ❤️

[storm yacht]

yeaaah i was thinking that! it would be nice if they come visit your plots and give you gifts or have some cute interactions

[weak wigeon]

yes ❤️ or if they asked to stay around for a bit

i'd love being able to hug or kiss them haha

[modest merlin]

I call him, Pondy McPond Face.

[hot oyster]

Is it still more profitable to feed celebration cakes to glow worms than to just sell the cakes?

[vocal cargo]

You can make more money using the machine-hour doing something else.

[coral coral]

That's fair. I hope you submitted feedback, I did. But it seems like it's just gonna be one of those kind of games.

[brisk spruce]

!feedback - in case anyone sees that comment and wants to know where to go to do it

[coral coral]

Move in, nah (as I'm dating every romanceable villager for the future and would dislike if we had to pick).
Visit and be cute? Yes. More pets? Definitely

[thorn oriole]

mmos usually always have rng elements when it comes to content drops. that's just the type of game you're playing.

[coral coral]

Rng elements overall are fine. It's the daily time limit I have the issue with. Other MMOs I play, you can run as many raid parties as you want for a drop.

[thorn oriole]

and those drops often have a daily or weekly limit, such as final fantasy fourteen. you can only get one loot drop chance per week on your first clear.

[quiet wasp]

Wym by time limit

[coral coral]

I can only check a rummage pile once a day

[thorn oriole]

a rummage pile once per day is more in line with a game like animal crossing, except you can't bypass the time limit by ganking your systems clock.

[storm yacht]

maybe the ones you wore pins for?

[cinder temple]

Ah, timegating. Yeah, I don't think I've ever met a timegate I enjoyed. I know they can be done in ways that feel organic though, and I hope they can find that balance here.

[quiet wasp]

Aah yeah. It is very annoying. As well as the Kitsune gifts. And 90 percent of the time they’re material stuff that I don’t need

[coral coral]

Depends on the game. Old School Runescape doesn't really have anything like that for example.

[thorn oriole]

old school runscape is timegated by how many hours in a day there are and the amount of hours you can grind. it doesn't need timegating because it takes a lot of time to get anything done anyway

[coral coral]

And that's what I'd prefer

[thorn oriole]

there's already elements like that in the game, it's called levelling.

[cinder temple]

As hilarious as the implication is that you specifically follow a single Chapaa around and rob him of his precious rocks x5 once a day, it does feel pretty weird.

[quiet wasp]

Leveling honestly means nothing in Palia tbh

[coral coral]

And what do we get for leveling past 25 or I guess 50 for the trophy. I'm level like 900 something

[vocal cargo]

Yeah, lots of grinding for things that are meh.

[thorn oriole]

having everything be the same system is boring and tedious and doesn't respect people's time. once per day means that people can find it and then log off and do something else if they decide to without feeling like they're obligated to spend every waking moment on a game

You are not the only person playing this game and the Devs have to consider everyone who plays and incorporate systems for everyone. It encourages daily play but respects people who can't afford to give a huge chunk of time.

[coral coral]

I don't really feel like my time is respected personally. Having to log on every day to do dailies versus setting aside some time on the weekend to do a bunch of activity is what I prefer. It's a preference. We can all submit feedback and the devs can choose what to do

[quiet wasp]

I mean regardless you’re gonna miss out on stuff.

[vocal cargo]

S6 definitely doesn't respect players time or the players, in general.

[thorn oriole]

games in general are made to pass time so yes

[vocal cargo]

I play games to enjoy myself, not pass time needlessly.

[thorn oriole]

honestly I think having daily activities is fine and I'm sure they'll add other ways to get items the more time goes on. we can't expect them to add everything all at once or it'll never finish coming out due to feature creep.

[cinder temple]

You know, this is similar to discussions I've seen regarding dailies in other games and the solution some companies went for is weeklies instead. So you could either rummage 7 times a week total or once a day for 7 days and the only difference would be the player being able to manage their time at a more relaxed pace.

[quiet wasp]

If I’m playing stuff to pass the time I’m playing other games that have like quick rounds of stuff, more PvP style. Palia is one of the games I play when I do have a good chunk of time.

[thorn oriole]

this is a good idea. you get a rummage "charge" once per day and can spend it that day or use them all at once if you have them saved up

[quiet wasp]

Thing is there’s nothing really driving me to play. The prizes in the rummage piles and Kitsune rock are lackluster. Knowing I can just pick up where I am in fishing, decorating, etc at any time makes me push back on logging in more. Theres nothing really stimulating the brain atm.

[thorn oriole]

I play palia to turn my brain off so I guess we play for different reasons. I like doing mindless activities for the sake of the mindlessness

[coral coral]

Yeah, could be a good comprimise since Palia already has weeklies in the skill medals/gifting situation.

[quiet wasp]

I play to play, I guess. Like I haven’t been spending as much time on Palia as I used to because of the holiday events going on on my other games. The minigames, quests, etc.

[coral coral]

Yeah, it's different reasons. It's tough because Palia attracted both crowds by being a "cozy MMO." I like satisfying repeatable game loops that I could play endlessly if I wanted. But that's okay. Palia isn't a main squeeze MMO even if I wanted it to be one.

[quiet wasp]

Yeah until they add in more mmo aspects it’s more of an open world single player game.

[coral coral]

I just drop in for a couple hours every patch

[thorn oriole]

I don't really care about questing in palia right now because there's not much for me to really do once I'm done with them. I'm waiting until there's more there for me to really invest. Right now I just like doing silly little repetitive tasks to do repetitive tasks. I like grinding but I also don't mind the daily activities because they'll still be there even if I don't get them right away. I'm in no rush to do everything right now when I know there's nothing else to do afterwards.

I don't really think it's timegating content for the same of timegating but rather a slow implementation of features. We are still in beta. I also don't think this game is ready to even release in switch with how many performance issues we have. I know they're being pushed to by their investors however.

[quiet wasp]

Think that’s a topic to bring up as well; nothing to do while waiting. In other games we have multiplayer minigames or race with our mounts and fashion shows and what not. Once you’re at the end of the quests here it’s either grind for money and\decorate until next patch comes out.

[thorn oriole]

MMOs are also games that are live service and typically try to aim for around 5-10 years of service. They're incredibly long development cycles and their content and qol isn't all at once. It took years for FFXIV to get where it is now for example and they're still working on qol. It's one of those things where you sort of have to be patient

MMOs when they first release are typically very bare bones and get more content bolted on with updates and expansions. That's one of the key aspects of the genre.

[quiet wasp]

Final Fantasy has been out for over a decade though.

[weak wigeon]

ooh true, i'm just dating reth and i'm not gonna date anyone else so i wasn't thinking of that really haha

[thorn oriole]

It has, yes, and when 1.0 and a realm reborn first game out it had very little to do. Which is my point compass.

[quiet wasp]

They still had things you could do though or entertain yourself with like cosmetics and what not.

[coral coral]

Yeah one of my favorite things about Palia is that it's poly-friendly. Devs have already said they don't have plans for NPCs to move in but things could change of course

[thorn oriole]

You would be surprised at just how little content the initial base game of a realm reborn actually had. Maps and a lot of the stuff actually came way later.

[quiet wasp]

And I get the very beginning but in truth, Palia has been in the works for over 3? If not 4 years now. It’s been talked about already but for the funding and people they have, they are incredibly behind

[weak wigeon]

making them move in would be a bit chaotic i think, but visits would be very nice!

[thorn oriole]

MMOs can take ten years to be developed before ever being released. They're called massive multiplayer games for a reason

[quiet wasp]

This isn’t massive

Which is another topic that gets talked about a lot

[thorn oriole]

it's still an mmo, it's the same principle. massive doesn't refer to just the amount of people but the scale of the project itself. and scale isn't just visual and world size but everything involved

[quiet wasp]

Mmo definitely refers to the people

[coral coral]

A lot of my annoyances would be fixed if Palia stopped capping everything (but skill levels I guess 😂) but they're super worried about people "getting ahead" or breaking things

[thorn oriole]

I'm very well versed in mmo history because it's a special interest of mine, it's probably for the best you don't discuss semantics of what mmo means with me. And I don't mean that to be rude.

[quiet wasp]

Idk how that wouldn’t be rude 😅

[thorn oriole]

I'm autistic so I don't know how my tone is perceived and I get worried about it a lot

[vocal cargo]

One game having no content isn't an excuse for another game to have no content.

[thorn oriole]

zero you have missed my point entirely about how I'm explaining what kind of game and development framework palia is using, but thank you for playing

[quiet wasp]

Especially with the people and funding they have.

[thorn oriole]

I'm specifically talking about palia from a development mindset

You have to understand the gist of how mmo games (and mmo-like games) are developed to understand why palia is in the current place it is now. I am not saying people cannot be discontent with it but I am trying to give an explanation as to why.

[vocal cargo]

What do you call the framework where the game tosses $50 million dollars over 5 years and then, while still in alpha development, goes into closed beta for 1 week (half of which the servers are down for) then slaps on the open beta sticker (still with core systems under development)?

[thorn oriole]

have you seen the rest of the gaming industry zero because that's a standard

[vocal cargo]

No, it isn't LuL You don't have games going into open beta with core systems not functioning.

[thorn oriole]

not to mention that you have to take into consideration what that money is actually going towards. Engine development, server costs, asset creation, program subscriptions, electricity, office bills, employee wages

[brisk spruce]

[quiet wasp]

It definitely is not 😅

Sorry for ping

[thorn oriole]

Multiplayer online games are expensive because you have to have data centers to host all the people who are playing your game. You have to pay for the bandwidth.

[coral coral]

I think many people understand why and are trying to provide suggestions for how things could be better. E.g. removing or increasing renown or cash caps, having a rummage pile minigame instead of a time gate. If people want it to be mindless, they could play it once a day and others could play it until they're satisfied.

[scarlet hazel]

and to pay for everything, an mmo needs to keep its players engaged to keep revenue flowing. palia doesnt really have anything to keep it going in the long run once almost everyone reaches the end game

[fiery isle]

combined w/ the fact the skins are overpriced, which is likely hurting them (at a more industry standard price more people would buy them, and more often), that's an issue

[vocal cargo]

They could start by fixing core system bugs that have existed for over 4 months.

[thorn oriole]

And they need money to pay their employees who spend the time to fix those bugs

[scarlet hazel]

and in some countries its practically paying like, 3 whole bills

[quiet wasp]

I agree. If I wanted to play mindlessly there’s sims and others. Mindless playing shouldn’t be the goal atm. That’s a big competition with the other games that are more ahead and developed aha

[vocal cargo]

S6 didn't buy or fill a data center.

[thorn oriole]

no but they have to pay for the server space that they use for the game to even be online. ???

[fiery isle]

I think everyone understands that making online games costs money

[vocal cargo]

Yes and they do that by getting players to enjoy the game enough to spend money on it. That isn't happening.

[solar crown]

[vocal cargo]

I didn't ask what they spent $50 million on

[fiery isle]

thank you for saving me from scrolling up endlessly, I was confused

[crisp ember]

anyone having a ton of issues trying to play the game through epic because of this fortnite event i cant even get into epic anymore

[thorn oriole]

Is this not asking? I'm confused

[brisk spruce]

if you can find where your install folder is, you can still launch the game through the normal launcher. they don't use Epic DRM or anything so it will launch fine even if Epic isn't working

[quiet wasp]

I saw a few others. They fixed it by opening the game through the launcher

[vocal cargo]

No

[crisp ember]

oooo thats great to know thanks so much!

[brisk spruce]

no problem, enjoy

[solar crown]

[thorn oriole]

but you literally asked a question here. I'm getting a migraine from this lmao.

[fiery isle]

a question, yes, but not about what the money was spent on

[vocal cargo]

I didn't ask what they spent $50 million on

[quiet wasp]

I think you misread it is all

[thorn oriole]

no I didn't misread, I answered what the money was spent on because the question itself felt like it didn't understand that game development is expensive.

[scarlet hazel]

i feel like they could have put the 50 million into hiring or at least getting accessability things up and running so it isnt the mess it is right now

[vocal cargo]

It seems more like they are reading what they want to read.

[fiery isle]

I don't think that's a correct assumption - I think Zero understands

[solar crown]

The person who literally wrote the message is telling you you misunderstood <_<

[thorn oriole]

s6 has over 100 employees so they very much did spend money on paying people/hiring them

[worn snow]

zero asked what the framework is called when u spend 50m dollars in 5 years and then say ur open beta when u still need to be in closed beta or even alpha. not what they used that 50m on

[thorn oriole]

it's called a framework

[worn snow]

paraphrasing to hopefully make it more clear ; --- ;

[scarlet hazel]

yeah but with how accessability is right now, and how we had to fight tooth and nail to get the accessability channel back, im thinking they arent focusing on it, let alone even glancing at it cause it feels like were just talking to a void still, even with the recent blog post

[solar crown]

[quiet wasp]

And I can say with a fact that there are many games that start with much, much less people and money than that. 50 million is just for the framework and if they did use it all just for framework, well now we know what went wrong lol

[snow rampart]

I find that there’s plenty to do but I also break my time up with playing other games too so I’m not exhausting all of the content palia has to offer thus far. I’ve finished the main story quests so far but there are a bunch of hidden quests I can pick up at any time. I haven’t rushed completing all of the friendships and relationship stages, there are a tonne of housing items I don’t have yet either by crafting, black market or from skill coins.. I’ve only just last night finished expanding my house to be 20 rooms and now have to go through and furnish and arrange it all and that’s just on my first plot. I haven’t purchased the others yet.

Even still.. I think there’s always a task to be done in palia if you have the motivation to do it.. and there will be more again come the next update.

[worn snow]

....? then why are u insisting that zero asked the question of "what they spent the money on" when you understood from the getgo u didnt answer their question and decided to answer a different one?

[scarlet hazel]

its just left a very sour taste in my mouth and has me side eyeing s6 concerning accessabilty with the 2 options we have rn

[solar crown]

Pretty sure it was a rhetoric.

[thorn oriole]

and those games aren't MMOs. Even pantheon, an indie mmo, had to crowd fund millions in order to even develop the project.

[vocal cargo]

Plenty to do but no compelling reward to do it, in my opinion.

[quiet wasp]

But with the progress and paste they’re going at, at some point you are going to find yourself with less and less to do

[thorn oriole]

because they were misunderstanding what I was saying when they initially responded to be to begin with

[scarlet hazel]

yeah development is just, really slow rn. probably trying to take their time or held down by a lotta bugs

[vocal cargo]

All I can assume is they had an awesome weeks long party.

[brisk spruce]

friendly reminder to stay hydrated

[thorn oriole]

they were arguing a different point entirely with me that I was never talking about. they're complaining about the game from a consumer standpoint and I was never arguing with them about their discontent I was explaining the development and giving an explanation for why the game is in the state it's in

[quiet wasp]

They are MMOs aha. You don’t need as much as 50m to start out for an mmo. 😅

[vocal cargo]

So you engage and tried to steer an existing conversation to what you wanted to talk about?

[solar crown]

[thorn oriole]

I never steered anything away I was giving context?????

[fiery isle]

I missed the beginning of the conversation but all I keep seeing is people bringing up concerns and the concerns being dismissed with base level game development info along with the assumption taht people don't know it

[cinder temple]

This is definitely discouraging, for sure. I was excited for Palia because it advertised itself as inclusive and relaxed. So here we are a couple of years in with quite a lot underdeveloped and quite a few accessibility things missing (not to mention basic QoL like shutting the chat off, for instance), so I can understand why people are feeling frustrated and a bit worried about the future of this project.

On the flippy, I can also see how some might feel they have to defend Palia. Really, that's fine too, we just have to remember to stay on the topic and not start on each other. Whether you're defending Palia as it is or wishing it was better, we're all in the same pro-Palia froggy bucket and wanting it to be good.

[solar crown]

On the flippy aheheh

[vocal cargo]

Yeah, it is almost as if this turned into #💬│palia-general

[scarlet hazel]

yeah. some of the defenders go to the extreme tho and its sometimes bizarre

[thorn oriole]

I was never dismissing anyone with what I said and I've never defended palia. I don't particularly agree with where the game is at now either.

[scarlet hazel]

i cant tell where these convos are going rn tbh

[thorn oriole]

I've been incredibly outspoken about bad design and marketing choices they've made including the way they run the premium store. I was explaining and giving context to why the game is in a specific state to give people more understanding as to why they might be discontent with the game

[fiery isle]

Regardless of your intent, that's the impact

[thorn oriole]

???? You weren't even here at the beginning of the discussion

[vocal cargo]

Why would that matter? They can read it.

[worn snow]

i have to say, i dont think the devs have bad intentions or anything, or like r trying to scam us, or necessarily mishandled money, or whatever. i mean, they could be, and they could have, and all of that, but i dont think i have to make those assumptions ab the character of the devs to say the game is lacking rn.

i'm disappointed in a few things, but mostly i'm disappointed with lack of effort on the accessibility front. palia said that from the start it wanted to be inclusive, and you truly cannot be inclusive without being accessible. i understand that it's a journey, ideally, imo, we would've started there initially but like. we've had breadcrumbs from s6 on this front and it really is starting to seem like no one cares :// idk

[solar crown]

<_< so people arent allowed to join in to the discussion? o.o

[polar elbow]

I'm absolutely in the boat of wanting palia to succeed, but at the same time incredibly worried about how it's being managed.

[thorn oriole]

i don't care if people join but at least read up rather than assuming. I also agree that accessibility is lacking.

[solar crown]

Some of us have just been watching with our popcorn.

[worn snow]

the funny thing ab that is that u assumed they hadnt read up 😭

[fiery isle]

I'm not assuming, I read you using dismissive phrases like 'thanks for playing' and continually assuming that because people don't agree with you, they don't understand anything

[thorn oriole]

Someone literally said they didn't bother to read up earlier Eyore

[cinder temple]

I am just a toothpaste-colored name in a sea of 300,000 people, but I care about it a lot. Accessibility helps everyone, not just those with difficulties, and I will gladly go around with a wooden spoon and a dented pot if it helps Palia git r done.

[vocal cargo]

Definitely. I still love the game but haven't played in almost 2 months due to "my" bugs. The development is still being rushed and it is going to have bad consequences.

[solar crown]

all this heat in December

[thorn oriole]

I wasn't being dismissive of them I was saying they were misunderstanding what I was talking about to begin with and asked about something I wasn't even talking about.

[scarlet hazel]

exactly how i feel! tbh it feels like s6 is lying at this point cause the two accessability options in the game rn just dont do anything for the most part. s6 is still pretty quite and giving fake positive corporate speak about it and its just, really uncomofortable. i HOPE there are people at s6 that care or a majority do and are fighting with us to get accessability into the game a lot more.

im really hoping for a chatbox slider or something cause its really tiny and its probably a request from day one i bet.

[thorn oriole]

whatever this has turned into a discussion of he said she said rather than what it was initially about so I'm going to cut that discussion there and move on. I hope everyone has a great timezone.

[solar crown]

Good plans. Everyone go get water :D

[quiet wasp]

This be it here

[coral coral]

The whole discussion started with people wanting to leave feedback for the game, so we definitely all just want it to succeed even if we have different opinions on what that looks like

[modest merlin]

If you ever feel useless, just remember that this exists.

[worn snow]

yeah, like again im not quick to say "these people are lying and scamming us and blah blah blah" but like.... where was the accessibility stuff? it just starts feeling like corporate dribble

[fiery isle]

It definitely feels like shareholders have a HEAVY hand in it all

[thorn oriole]

This was my entire point 🥹

[scarlet hazel]

whoever the shareholders are, they feel money hungry and theyre gonna drag the entire studio and game down with them

[cinder temple]

Oh chat options, my beloved! Font sizes, manual channel color assignment, and even being able to shut chat off would do so much for so many. And a minimap, but that's a whole other bag of beans.

[dense fractal]

Palia will be a successful game, just needs more time (and maybe some more investment). Bugs and missing features are unfortunate, and it will take time to get them in order. Not gonna remind you that it's still beta, and one might argue that it shouldn't have been released to public just yet, but we don't know all the circumstances.

[thorn oriole]

I don't like how large the friends menu is, or that even when we block people they're still technically following us.

[worn snow]

minimap 💗💗💗💗💗

[solar crown]

please im so directionally impaired LOL

[worn snow]

literally cant rven play minecraft without a minimap anymore

[cinder temple]

Palians across the server being told to head southwest from 'that area with the weird rock', spinning in a circle, then sitting down and crying.

[scarlet hazel]

or how we cant resize the UI at all. thats a feature so many games have right out the door 💀

[worn snow]

didnt they say they were going to make one of those graph thingies with the numbers and letters? that wld b nice

[polar elbow]

This is just a wild guess/speculation on my part, but, between the glassdoor reviews talking about poor management pretty consistently + beta's incredibly rushed release, it almost feels like the investors were tired of waiting on game development and pushed for open beta release so they could start making returns on their investment.

[gritty socket]

Honestly, thank god for flares in those situations. Reminds me I need to make some

[vocal cargo]

Definitely, sink or swim

[thorn oriole]

coordinates?

[worn snow]

yeah but it was like in chunks

[fiery isle]

there are like 7 different third party coordinate systems atm and it's confusing, I would like an official one instead!

[vocal cargo]

Map grid?

[thorn oriole]

a lot of investors don't realize just how long and tedious mmo game development really is, they have no first hand experience in game development and AAA games often work under crunch. Investors often want immediate returns on their investments which means games get released before they're ready.

[quiet wasp]

Sounds like a job…. For the Compass

[coral coral]

I'm having pre-flare flashbacks glad we have them now

[solar crown]

This is why youre a wise guy. We needed a compass.

[quiet wasp]

Plot twist my cardinal direction irl are absolute trash lol

[worn snow]

why is the mindcraft server im playing on still down 😦

[solar crown]

We'll pretend you said the opposite.

[vocal cargo]

We need a map that shows the locations of other players. That you can mouseover a dot and see the name. Click on it and have them show on the compass.

[pallid ferry]

No thanks, keep that a party-only feature 😅

[thorn oriole]

I want to add that me talking about the development of the game was specifically to make this point that the issues with the game come from the top down and the developers are often shafted and forced to work under worse conditions which leads to more bugs

Features get delayed and put on the back burner because they have to force to push the game out in a semi playable state. Code gets buggy and released unfinished and creates MORE work for the developers as a result of pressure.

I apologize for not making my point clearer but I was trying to give development context for the way things are specifically to talk about that but I didn't put it across as conscisely as I should have

[tulip wagon]

You've just described my average work day.

[worn snow]

i think they should expand the party sizes then bcos sometimes we need to track more people

[vocal cargo]

I don't think people really care why the game is in the state it is, though. That isn't their problem and certainly isn't an excuse.

[pallid ferry]

Party sizes should be at least 5, preferably 6. 4 seems TINY

[thorn oriole]

The thing is you should care why the game is in this state because it allows you to be able to explain why you have issues with it. It arms you with the information to better criticise the actual issues at the core rather than complaining for the sake of complaining.

[fiery isle]

No

[thorn oriole]

Complaints that understand where the issues come from mean that when you complain and they're passed on, the people who actually need to see it are more likely to because you understand

[tulip wagon]

I vote 8.

[fiery isle]

idk how to explain that we understand any more - it seems silly to argue about that instead of discussing the issues people were on about

[pallid ferry]

I would just like them to fix the server issue. They resolved it for a couple players individually, but now that there’s a ton of ppl who can’t log on, their only response seems to be “use a VPN or wait till Tuesday night.”

[worn snow]

i mean, i can only speak for myself, but really did we all not already know that it's about making money?

[vocal cargo]

No, when people complain, they are complaining about what they are dealing with. The devs don't listen at their own peril.

[thorn oriole]

If you want the game to succeed you should care why so you understand how to voice your concerns. The Devs aren't the ones that need to hear your complaints it's the higher ups of the company.

[solar crown]

People arent allowed to have complaints?

[coral coral]

I don't think giving feedback about how rng dailies could be better means I don't understand the pressure and parameters the devs are under

[solar crown]

Not that you have to understand either x'P

[thorn oriole]

I was talking about the issues with features being pushed back (accessibility) not rng dailies

[pallid ferry]

Referring to the chappa pile RNG?

[coral coral]

Accessibility too though. More important than the silly piles.

[vocal cargo]

Again, no. The investors pressuring the devs doesn't change the fact that I am forced to deal with broken core systems. If the devs aren't showing management the players concerns, that is another failure on their part, not mine.

[pallid ferry]

The chappa pile “junk” is actually pretty great early game. Most of us are just so progressed that it is junk rather than useful

[thorn oriole]

The developers aren't the ones that manage concerns, that's an entirely different department in the company.

Developers just write the code they're told to write from their higher ups.

[worn snow]

i'm tired of those kinds of excuses ab accessibility. like, if you want to be able to put the "inclusive" label on your game, you're going to have to spend money on it and push for it harder. idc whose fault it is, but the only reason it's not a thing is bcos of a cheap excuse. root of all evil is greed of money, same goes for this.

[solar crown]

Players are allowed to have complaints without dissecting and researching the hierarchy of a developer team or internal workings.

[quiet wasp]

I hope that department knows that pushing out content is pointless when bugs prevent that content to be playable 😅😅

[thorn oriole]

I'm tired of them too eyore, which is why I think people should care to understand why these issues exist so they know who to yell at about them

[fiery isle]

It's really rude of you to insist no one here understands this basic info.

[vocal cargo]

But do you understand why there is no accessibility? If you don't understand, you shouldn't complain. /s

[thorn oriole]

I'm not saying nobody should complain

[coral coral]

Hopefully those 8 hours on Tuesday clear up the server issues! They seem dedicated to fixing them (even trying 2 hot fixes) but it is understandably frustrating.

[quiet wasp]

Yeah that 8 hour downtime seems promising. I’m looking forward to it

[worn snow]

i just kind of dont think it matters who at s6's fault it is, or even whatever shareholders outside of s6, i think we all know there are larger forces at play. like someone else said i think it's kind of silly to assume no one else knows this

[scarlet hazel]

getting in touch with the higher ups in s6 or the shareholders is impossible tho, both communicating and knowing WHERE to start communicating. trying to go through the feedback forums or tagging them on twitter or such doesnt seem like it will work and who know how long it will take

[sharp wasp]

i'm glad they're really taking their time with the update this time. hope there's less issues 👍

[solar crown]

It is not on the players shoulders to communicate anything any type of way to "reach the right people". It's on the team to take the feedback and use it correctly.

[vocal cargo]

But how do you shift the blame, then?

[scarlet hazel]

yeah. us players can only talk, send, and do so much in our entirety, espcially when we dont know or cant communicate outside of designated feedback formus or areas really

[thorn oriole]

I don't feel like people don't understand this basic info I feel like people are misunderstanding what I'm saying and reading me as hostile when I'm not. I'm just autistic and discuss things the way I do because of that.

[pallid ferry]

What further accessibility are you looking forward to? I’m glad they listened and gave us flares as a photo-audio-sensitive alternative to fireworks.

[scarlet hazel]

flares kind of stinky tbh. i cant see or hear them for anything

[fiery isle]

I'm autistic too, but I believe people when they tell me they understand or that I'm being dismissive

[vocal cargo]

Blame shift, again. Sorry, I'm done with you.

[thorn oriole]

not everyone has the same display of autism so I'm sorry I'm not the same flavour of autism as you

I'm just explaining how I'm reading the situation and how I feel I'm not trying to blame shift?

[solar crown]

RIGHT SHIFT W RUNS

[worn snow]

and like one ofcthe people in s6 (i dont remember who i dont have reciepts!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHH) said that "this thing Feels Bad" is valid, good, constructive criticism for them as well, even if you cant describe it or just are complaining or whatever. part of their job is figuring out and deciphering how why where what feels bad about xyz thing and then fixing it.

[solar crown]

RIGHT we're players. We arent being paid to sit here in our own free time to research whats going on in S6

[worn snow]

do you see how this could come across as dismissive, though?

[bright ledge]

Wow discussion is pretty alive today 👀
I thought you said you were done before when explaining the same situation

[thorn oriole]

I was talking about something entirely different

[worn snow]

i would tootally be a tester for them though but only if i was getting paid paid

[thorn oriole]

I even apologized for not making my point concise enough and coming across as dismissive the first time.

[solar crown]

I appreciated the apologize half, following it with a "but" and continuing to do it makes the apology irrelevant.

[worn snow]

or, it makes the apology seem insincere-- like you're just going ahead and continuing on what you're apologizing for anyway, why would u apologize in the first place? (is my train of thought when someone makes that kind of apology)

[solar crown]

Anytime a sorry has a "but" after it tbh

[thorn oriole]

All I said was that I was talking about something else & that I personally believe that understanding how things work allows for productive criticism. I totally understand that it isn't the consumers job to know the ins and outs and complaining in and of itself is fine.

[fiery isle]

Please just let people discuss it instead of debating whether or not you're being rude

[worn snow]

or, "i'm sorry that you"

[thorn oriole]

It's fine to not care but for me personally I do care and I'm passionate about the game and I want it to do well.

[coral coral]

What I hear a lot from others is stuff like reading accessibility especially being able to adjust the chat box, minimap, reshading/brightness and color adjustments, and better controller support (yay that's coming).

[solar crown]

I can go back and link multiple messages of you insisting they have to UNDERSTAND inner workings to complain.

[worn snow]

there's a whole google doc in the accessibility channel :]

[solar crown]

Youve expressed you understand that we're perceiving you some type of way, so best move is to just let us complain and give feedback and chatter freely.

[thorn oriole]

Understanding helps with targeting critique, yes. That's just how I've been taught to go about things. But I've never said that people don't have a right to complain even without that. But I think people should care about dev stuff because Devs are suffering under the same systems that make the game bad.

[polar elbow]

speaking of reshading/brightness/color adjustments, that's one of the things that made me stop playing. When they suddenly decided to just up and make things extremely bright across the board, it strained my eyes way too much. They still haven't entirely fixed it tbh. (They need to give people the ability to adjust that on their own terms, not just make things bright because it was too dark for a few people.)

[bright ledge]

Dev stuff is dev stuff we arent privy to, you can address the devs with feedback
Players here cannot do anything about dev problems no matter how much you bring it up

[solar crown]

"Man I dislike xyz" Can just be that. It doesnt have to be "Well you dont understand why thats happening obviously" Like people can just complain. Maybe in the future you can ask "Do you want to talk about why xyz might be happening?" And if they say "nah Im just venting about the issue," there wont be a futher issue. And if they say nah, you can just leave them alone.

[worn snow]

okay so this is just how it feels to me-- it feels like you're changing what you're saying (not just how you're saying it, but the actual content of what you're saying) as you're talking bcos you've changed ur opinion. which is fine, i do it too sometimes bcos i change my opinion on the fly and i have such bad emotional permanence that i literally forget that ive changed my mind lol.

but from an outside perspective it seems like straight up gaslighting-- and frankly it is essentially that, except maybe it's not purposeful on your part. can you see where i'm coming from?

[quiet wasp]

[flint igloo]

Compass I am looking for the other part of your bird and thinking something is wrong with my discord

[solar crown]

And I think we can see how it would be rude if I were to say something like
"Wow its a bummer flow tree groves got delayed"
and you jump in like
"Yeah you dont understand whats going on internally with S6 so"

Like just let people complain unless they express an interest in the bigger issue with you. It doesnt seem like anybody wanted to have that talk.

Dont need to understand whats going on behind the curtain to be bummed/annoyed/etc.

[thorn oriole]

Okay so I guess this is about this post specifically but again I never mentioned anywhere that people can't complain. And I do understand why people may consider this to be dismissive but I want to quickly add that I talk with a lot of hyperbole and the "have" here isn't entirely literal. My wording was bad and I'm sorry

I struggle a lot with wording and sometimes it takes me a few tries to get things right and some of the things I did say do indeed sound kind of passive aggressive and I could've been better about it

[jolly idol]

text is also the worst on top of all that in trying to interpret according to tone/mood/etc

[flint igloo]

Also language if English isn’t someone’s first language

[scarlet hazel]

yeah. i use tone indicators to make myself more clearer at times

[jolly idol]

emojis are good for that

[flint igloo]

Let’s all hug and continue with a healthy discussion

[thorn oriole]

I am very much an activist type and I believe that targeted pressure at the right places can do a lot of change and that if enough people have the right information and know how to strike then it can move mountains. That's a belief I have and not everyone is the same.

I believe that people knowing and understanding more intimately how development works and who is responsible for what means that people can better pressure the right people and the more people that do it at the same time means that the more they have to listen.

It isn't our responsibility to make the game better but that doesn't mean we don't have a voice at all when we are their source of revenue. We can speak with our wallets and pressure with our collective voices. I apologize for parsing things as hostile or misunderstanding because I misunderstood and didn't parse others correctly.

Found it :D?

[noble stag]

First time finding a star one I wish I could put it in a plant pot and keep it forever

[warm python]

I think crafting/decorating might be more fun when there's more materials in the game... I just finished my house in FFXIV and it felt so much better to collect different types of wood other than just three kinds with the majority being the one that's the most pain in the ass to get

[scarlet hazel]

i wish we could plant dari cloves tbh. i feel like at some point the majiri would find out how to cultivate them maybe

[crystal junco]

There are things in the real world that cannot be cultivated simply because they just won’t survive that way. Like truffles.

[scarlet hazel]

i hope eventually getting flow wood, pallium, dari cloves and any other rare things are made easier. its too frusterating to farm for them for a long time

[warm python]

when all the pretty elegant furniture uses the same exact rare mats, it gets frustrating. like oh boy more flow wood and silk and palium, how exciting and entrancing to farm again lol

[scarlet hazel]

or every single best focus food needs a stinking dari clove that is annoying to find and when someone finds it, they instantly PICK IT and the timer starts. its really just- ugh. with how the end game mats are, i dont bother farming cause its just exhausting for me to try to do so

[pine sable]

steam

[brisk spruce]

we actually do grow truffles though! it's usually just an issue of either time (takes too long) or money (not enough profit in the end), not usually an issue of things being unable to be cultivated

[crystal junco]

Riiiight

[scarlet hazel]

with how isolated kilima village is for the most part, i imagine theyd be really good at cultivating the local fauna and herbs too. its been there for a long time at this point so them not trying doesnt make too much sense unless they gave up at some point

[brisk spruce]

considering how long some things can take to cultivate... I could see giving up being a thing, but it would probably feel like an excuse tbh.

[cinder temple]

I couldn't see Chayne giving up. Dude would spend 6 years figuring out how to grow a single turnip.

[brisk spruce]

how long has kilima village been around for? maybe they can use the excuse of "first successful attempt!"

[crystal junco]

I feel like the farmers wouldn’t either

[burnt laurel]

idk but delaila tells you the farm belonged to grandpa who had a deal with the then governor? i think? ????

[brisk spruce]

ohh yeah you're right, I forgot about that. yeah it would definitely be a lazy excuse then lol

[modern geyser]

Floating Butterflies and Laterns that follow .

Has anyone had the lantern from the doctor outfit get stuck on their screen when someone else used it? I heard it uses the same mechanics as the Butterfly outfit how the lantern and butterflies only come out when you stand still.

I sent in a suggestion that would not only fix this issue, but just in general look cooler. The lanterns and butterflies should always be out following the player around. Which would also be cool for those with ADHD running around watching it chase the player.

[burnt laurel]

like palcats?

[modern geyser]

Basically. 😮

[gritty socket]

Kilima used to be a bustling trade hub at one point, and then it sort of fell into disrepair IIRC

[cinder temple]

looks at that one bridge that everyone's thinkin' about

[burnt laurel]

does anyone recall if they said why? I cant remember

[gritty socket]

I don't think so? If it's in game, I'd imagine the "why" would come from either Eshe or Subira

I just sort of figured Bahari City became a bigger hub eventually

[odd orchid]

Having a tough time finding a chapaa pile .. is it near the farm?

[noble stag]

anyone else got permanent fertiliser? XD

[modern geyser]

For me some of them stay for longer than others but they all leave at some point.

[odd orchid]

Weird bugs tonight.. esp w/ hunting.. making a hit but no loot, animals not getting hit and can walk right up to them.. also f key not always working ..

[noble stag]

ive tilled these patches like 3-4 times since i place that fertiliser

[modern geyser]

Yeah, idk how they work really.

[brisk spruce]

it's in mirror fields somewhere, I don't know which spot
there's a thread in #1143270926394335282 that has the location usually

[noble stag]

this has been going a few days i think it was tomatoes next to peppers that did it I put a diffrent fertiliser over it and it gave me the old stuff back so maybe that will reset it

[modern geyser]

Oh, sorry, just saw the question. It is at the further right tree to the right of the fields. You'll see two trees on the map.

Right most tree.

[odd orchid]

Thank you

[livid cove]

There's this cooking bug where your ingredient prep menu frequently puts your highlighted item back at the top seemingly whenever anyone goes near any station and interacts with anything, is that EVER getting fixed?

Can't tell you guys how much I've been cooking with friends and we get repeat ingredients because someone wants to make something, but ends up making something someone else was already preparing because the selector jumped to the top right as they hit make.

[warm python]

I haven't cooked with people since before the great nerfening... I'm guessing this isn't in any of their known bugs list?

[livid cove]

Seeing as how it was present when cakes were the major money maker, I'd be surprised and disappointed if this flew under their radar.

[warm python]

Disappointed, yes, but honestly I...wouldn't be surprised. like no slight on you of course

[livid cove]

It's been a bug for a long time for my friends and I.
I mean, I feel you, a lot of developers don't make the time for quality assurance anymore. I hear these guys are World of Warcraft dev veterans, so... that tracks.

[steep idol]

[warm python]

QA's unfortunately pretty rough with this game; it's gonna be harder for us to be their QA once the switch release is out and hotfixes are likely gonna be slower because of that Obligatory send in a bug report and hope they look at it, but that's as much as we can really do at this point unfortunately

not yet but i dont even have the prompt. when i had the prompt for everyone else since i got the quest forever ago

i'll finish his quest first and go from there i guess

[noble stag]

oh maybe it was quality fert does pepper improve quality?

[brisk spruce]

it should show back up after finishing his quest. and maybe waiting a day? not sure if it's immediate, but he can't say yes until after you finish his level 4 quest anyway so check back after it.

[potent shell]

yep that was the issue. i got it thank you~

Where do we get firework arrows???? they want that but i cant make it and i dont see where i can buy it

[robust blade]

Zeki’s gacha machine (random chance) or buy from Hassian

[lyric night]

firework arrows are a quest reward from the quest family memento, najuma or Hodari lvl 4 is needed to get that quest, still weird that they are in the weekly wants pool bcs we get 5 and thats all

[gritty socket]

Can't you buy them from Zeki?

[lyric night]

that are normal fireworks, firework arrows are a special type of item

[gritty socket]

Ah

[robust blade]

Aren’t all fireworks arrows in this game??!

[abstract lark]

they are

[lyric night]

yeah they use the same tech for shooting them but there is a difference between fireworks we can buy or get through zekis machine and the weekly wants item "firework arrow"

Is it possible for a game to be release as beta on the switch?

[oak siren]

it is but with the way the patches have been working from the start i feel it will be difficult and pretty buggy. i heard that patches and updates have to follow more strict rules on switch

s6 has not announced if the switch release will be delayed as of yet or if it is still slated for holiday 2023 release (which is now) but i feel like their silence on the matter is not promising of a 2023 release

[finite shore]

Me too I’m worried. 😟

[warm python]

I severely doubt it's gonna be out this month. Not only do they gotta make sure the switch version is in good, not buggy as heck state, but I think they need to at the same time fix the larger bugs the PC version has been suffering for a while so the versions are at least in a similar state. And not a similarly buggy af state.

Which is kind of worrying when you see the growing list of known bugs each patch, and the bigger ones that've been around for months... I really am hoping for the best for them but they really have their work cut out for them

[stoic frost]

Surely it's time for another AMA

[warm python]

oh my god I'd want to rent a movie theater to project that thread on complete with popcorn for all, after the last one

[stoic frost]

I will accept an AMA in lieu of christmas content

[abstract lark]

that ama will need a lot of moderation and will have a lot of unanswered questions most likely

[stoic frost]

That's what the reddit mods are for

[noble linden]

Is this a bug? I can't open the door but I can talk to her

[lyric night]

no u get villagers room keys with lvl 3

[sharp wasp]

No that's normal

[timber walrus]

Hole in the pavement at the lighthouse, is there any bug and issue section ?

[finite shore]

I wish the just would let us know

[timber walrus]

ANother one i can't get out

[finite shore]

Yes you can get out. Type / unstuck all one word in the chat in game

[timber walrus]

I tried that, but it teleported me in another location always under that pavement, after 10 tries i finally got out

[noble linden]

thx, I only played for a few days some months ago

[tardy thorn]

I use (M)ap - Return Home to escape the Lighthouse non-sustaining pavement.

[timber walrus]

Yes me too but I have two quest in Bahari so didn't want to go home and then back

[teal stag]

Can someone sync me on a working server with bahari available?

[dawn helm]

I just opened a ticket for this exact bug

[timber walrus]

Nice 😊

[abstract lark]

I also thought this but was able to find some games that were labelled beta/early access
but I wish nintendo was more stern with reviewing the games they put in their library, it's starting to become like steam with all of these tiny indie games of bad quality

[distant copper]

Would be great if we could get some communication on the matchmaking error. The only one out of our group of 5 who is currently able to log in

[fathom radish]

it’s only an assumption right now but i think the extended downtime of 8 hours on tuesday is hopefully to fix all the server issues that came up recently

though i really hoped they would atleast acknowledge it and give some statement so people in the community don’t feel ignored

[gleaming crag]

i pray for that as well

[abstract lark]

yeah, sorry to inform I begged them to make this public 5 weeks ago when it happened to me, I was able to log after 4 weeks (didn't want to use a vpn to have to log into my plot) after the last patch and I thought "alright they fixed it!" but nah they just cleared whatever cache they had of those tickets during the maintenance and didn't fix it, pretty depressing

but yeah, if you're in the US you need to VPN to EU and viceversa...

[gleaming crag]

🥹 so sad that story every time i hear it

[arctic coral]

Oh, so EU cant connect with US atm? Is this the case for in-game chat too?

[civic silo]

hope they fix it. my whole purpose of playing is to enjoy the game with my wife who is in spain.

[unique nacelle]

Romance:
I am trying to romance all the characters to level 4 to collect all their ||portraits||
will wearing a certain pin increase the romance to level up faster ?
if i have reached level 4 with someone what will happen if i stop wearing this pin ?

[lyric night]

unequipping the pin will just trigger a dialogue nothing else, some believe that wearing their pin makes them faster to lvl their romance

[prime ridge]

Im dep clean that, use all furnitures, deco etc, and i have one empty room. Hmmm... SUS.

[polar tree]

I’m really hoping that patch will fix the bug I’m having so I can actually leave my plot. That or reset the tutorials so I can redo them and get out of the plot. It’s been reported to S6 and they said it was forwarded to someone. But I haven’t been able to leave my plot in almost a month.

[icy reef]

Anyone know the lactation of todays rummage pile

[last vine]

anyone knows how to fix slow download issue?

[scarlet hazel]

#1172250012873408615.

Better to ask in tech help lone wolf since they can help with that way better

[last vine]

on their website ?

[scarlet hazel]

No in thr discord #💻│tech-help

[last vine]

oh thank you

[languid fiber]

Do we know anything about the Switch release - as in, will it cross platform to our PC accounts like DDLV or will we need to start again (I kind of want a separate account on the Switch, I think...)? Will more than one household member (family Switch) be able to run the game on the same Switch ( not tandem, of course)?

[leaden meteor]

so no subira till next patch ?

[abstract lark]

"This software uses third party accounts" most likely scenario

[languid fiber]

Could you ELI5 what that means? Sorry, I don't have many games on the Switch that cross platform, and I don't know the nuances. And I'm not enven through my first coffee of the morning yet. 😄

[abstract lark]

lol it's just what you see as a warning on games on platforms like steam or switch, it means you don't use your nintendo user you have to login like you do on PC, so you can use multiple accounts yes

[leaden meteor]

Wait, i've done teh quests and i cant see Subira on the map ?

[abstract lark]

room at the inn

[leaden meteor]

man i could kiss you TY

_> she ain;'t in the in

Nvm i m dumb

[north halo]

Has anyone heard if Palia is going to have cross platform from PC to Switch for 100% yet?

[solar crown]

Yes you will be able to use the same account on Switch and PC

[north halo]

Thank you. If it’s 100% then I can buy clothes.

[solar crown]

https://palia.com/news/nintendo-switch-release if you want to see it from S6 themselves :) it's the very bottom

[north halo]

Tyvm

[oak siren]

I think they are fixing her eshe quest bug this patch but she won’t be coming out of her room until 2024z

[lime mirage]

Gee I hope she has a shower in there 😇

[vocal cargo]

They stated the Eshe bug won't be fixed until 0.175. This Tuesday is 0.174.

[shell mango]

Yay just got focus maxxed

[thorn temple]

weee, if you've bought writs and got exp maxed, renown waste inc \o/

[desert geyser]

Yeah was really hoping there would be other renown spending options in the coming updates. Gonna hit cap with another 150 :/

Like a shop with rare items or towards recipes for even more optimised tools or customizations.

[thorn temple]

they hadn't even considered it sadly, no idea what they'll go with but that won't be until 2024 sometime - so lots of wasted points

[desert geyser]

Guess it's time to slow down playing and leveling up Subira's friendship

[storm harness]

Does anybody is having problems syncing server with friends? My friends are in north america and I am in europe, but i cant sync with them

[low yarrow]

yeah it's been an issue since last update

[tulip wagon]

Might be for the best atm, since it seems to be linked to the bug preventing people from entering/exiting their home plot.

[quiet wasp]

And maybe now it will finally be fixed been dealing with it since October

[crystal junco]

I haven’t had any issues with it, or leaving my home plot. Or the achievements one… or the butterflies not fluttering. 😂 I have some issues going to Bahari Bay though. It likes to do travel errors. The last one I tried like 5 times before it let me through.

[oak siren]

IS KILIMA LAKE THE FISHERMAN'S LAGOON OR IS THAT A DIFFERENT PLACE

[robust blade]

It is the lagoon with Einar, but also that whole coastal area in Kilima

[noble stag]

its a sign

[tardy obsidian]

they make cats float now?!

[midnight oak]

Palcats, Masters of the sky

I would love my palcat to turn into like a flying squirrel to be my glider though xD

[shell mango]

When I talked to Eshe today some time ago she said that humans are forbidden from leaving the valley until the order can figure out what’s going on and then we can go wander wherever we want. Does that mean after some main missions in the future we may even explore a city area?

[shell mango]

I didn’t buy any writs, rn I am praying at the dragon shrine for an increase in the focus bar

[safe nacelle]

They already announced that we will get more areas in the future but didn't tell us exactly what those places will be.
But they did hint at more populated areas (so most likely a city like Bahari City or the likes)

[noble stag]

there seems to be hints in art ||for giant plant biomes like flowers and mushrooms||

[midnight oak]

People have been able to spot a little back area to the plot. No idea how but it’s not intended xD

[safe nacelle]

You can climb and glitch your way up on that wall and look over it.
There's actually a larger area and also another smaller one

[quiet wasp]

Elderwoods

[brisk spruce]

you don't even need to glitch to see the tree area, you can just climb. nothing stops you at least in the current version

[jolly idol]

climb where?

[brisk spruce]

you can climb the cliff to the left of the wall with the crack to get a better look at the tree behind it

[safe nacelle]

Jut don't jump/glide over the edge to get there. When I tried I got teleported back to the entrance of my plot.

[ivory leaf]

Just curious, wondering if anyone else is getting this text block that randomly appears over NPCs stating "Neigborhood bingo coming soon" I mean id be up for some bingo not gonna lie 😆

[jolly idol]

Yeah I got that a couple times

Bingo would be rad. Heck, any kind of sit down table game would

[brisk spruce]

yeah, if you stay on the cliff you get a pretty good view of it as is and no glitchiness (or teleporting back to the entrance) necessary

[velvet jackal]

Any update on when the switch version will be released?

[noble stag]

can you still be bugged to not be able to fish up any recipes?

[round lynx]

what are you fishing for?

[noble stag]

all three of them on rotation

[round lynx]

I think you're just having bad luck, I haven't seen people massively complain about recipes yet like it was with sushi. Double check that you're fishing in the right areas maybe?

[noble stag]

i have the wiki up every time double checking bait and locations

I swap between the suggested locations too just encase and i get nothing I have almost one of every fish at star quality so its not for lack of trying but idk maybe itll be like the void ray and just show up now ive asked if its bugged

[safe nacelle]

The sushi recipe took me 169 glow worms after they fixed it. So it can take quite some time to get that.
I still haven’t gotten Sashimi but also haven’t tried fishing for it again in a while.

[noble stag]

I think I had like 350 something when I started this week and I'm trying to get more atm

I think ill try the look for something else method now and just get the last of the star fish i dont have

[safe nacelle]

Remember the other recipes need no bait and worm as bait.

[noble stag]

i know i had 500 normal worms the other day im down to like 120 now

cant count no bait accurately tho

is it better to aim for the nodes or avoid them?

[safe nacelle]

At least for the sushi recipe I was lucky when I fished in my home pond. And got it there after just a few tries (before I kept going for bubbly spots)

[noble stag]

ive judt been getting them if they are there but still fishing if they arent

[tardy obsidian]

Everyone's getting excited about neighborhood bingo but how about the real thing, Text Block?

[jolly idol]

I checked out the tree! It looks like it leads to a dock of some sort, probably a way to port out of the area?

[woeful path]

what is neighborhood bingo anyway?

[ocean stone]

Man what a missed opportunity to call my community Text Block 😭😭

[tardy obsidian]

Nobody knows really

[woeful path]

oh, so a mystery? i like it! 😄

[midnight oak]

I mean >_> some might. But it miiight be under NDA… or not! Who knows indeed

[brisk spruce]

neighborhood bingo is the in-game version of patch day bingo

hopefully a lot cozier

[round lynx]

Why do you have to wave that knowledge around Vexy it’s supposed to be NDA :/

[pallid ferry]

omg noo i just saw the convo about renown max

this entire time ive been playing i havent been doing anything with renown... so much wasted with my achievements i thought it was just collecting 😭

[midnight oak]

It’s just a joke xD Rune said nobody knows. Someone might idonno

PSA: The shepps don’t know what bingo will be. If anyone does it’s NDA. I worded that joke poorly and I’m sorry it caused any distress.

[cinder temple]

If nothing else, we should be able to use renown to buy treats. It does have some uses currently, but it needs more, and since there's always a use for consumable and always a way of collecting renown, it seems like a sensible option.

[flint igloo]

Would love to have something to do with my renown

[ocean stone]

by treats I'm imaginging something silly like being able to throw confetti or blow bubbles. Gotta reup them bubble containers!

[cinder temple]

Dude! If I could get bubbles for collecting renown, I might actually talk to Kenyatta sometimes!

[quiet wasp]

Paintball

When skimming through the dev blog the first time I thought the new temple was some sort of snowball fight arena and was incredibly pumped

[covert saddle]

Shadow Creature Kodama

[raw wasp]

I've gotten the void ray, flame tongue ray, long nosed unicorn AND the sushi recipe...all before I've gotten a radiant sunfish. Thank you RNG.

[nocturne heron]

Is Palia going to add romances like marry or date with romantic interactions like hug, kiss , cuddle etc ?

[weak wigeon]

anyone know why they changed requests back to only stuff in inventory? It's very annoying :c

[weak wigeon]

i wish, we don't know yet

[tidal delta]

Does anyone know if there's a guide or answers yet on what specific ingredients need to be starred in the muujin bahari recipe for max profit? Like with cakes?

[midnight oak]

I'm not sure. People didn't just use every star ingredient there was for cakes? I find it interesting that you could substitute any non-starred things and get more overall profit.

[tidal delta]

Yeah, for cakes, the only things that Had to be starred for max profit were the starting blueberries and the 3 apples

[noble stag]

intresting they dont seem to despawn

[abstract lark]

been to 2 parties* that only required blue mushrooms (no star) and star wheat, corn, onion and pepper, everything else was up to the user and we had 80% star

[tidal delta]

aa thank you for this! Unless I'm mistaken though starred ingredients don't affect the rate of starred dishes. Whether or not a dish is completed as starred is entirely random, no? That's how it was for cakes, anyway. But whether or not certain ingredients are starred does affect the final price of the dish.

[abstract lark]

also I really appreciate the hosts that split the 2 free tasks with the vinegar task so that people don't end up spending 10x everybody else on vinegar! (rotate every x cookings)

[abstract lark]

I had a long look into this, discussed with many people, in the end it seems that the formula accounts the raw ingredients star/nostar and not the "prepared ingredients" for star chance (so if salsa requires 5 different ingredients and doesn't come out as star the raw ingredients before it being starred do account for the outcome)

[tidal delta]

Hmm... Interesting. The guides are wrong then?

[strong imp]

Anyone know what Delial wants for this week? Any single in the 1-3 category?

[noble stag]

I have found myself in an empty server and have farmed it for pallium till my pick gave out would someone like to try join it in my place before I leave?

[abstract lark]

I don't know any guides, but I suspect some ingredients have a heavier weight on starred, also since it's x2 corn and x2 wheat it's a total of x6 garden veggies
I truly believe the formula is more complicated then one would think because it really seems that grown veggies push star rating chance way higher than the other gathered/hunted ingredients

[noble stag]

I am currently in hideaway bluffs with pallium I can no longer mine and I am happy to show you all the locations before I leave

[abstract lark]

but also starter level! we've known that from cake parties, starter should be 55+ I think?

[indigo dust]

i would luv to hop in that empty server if ur still there

[noble stag]

yeah my name is the same as here im still in it for now

if you send me a friend rq I can invite you to it and we can do the grove together before I go

[indigo dust]

sent

hmm i got an error message when i accepted

[signal void]

When is Palia coming to switch?

[noble stag]

Well looks like I cant share the empty server T-T

bye bye special server 💔

[midnight oak]

Rest in Palium solo server

[midnight oak]

We're still not sure, Karsen. We're hoping they make an announcement this week since holiday season 2023 is basically upon us.

[signal void]

Thank you. I’m have been so excited to play!

[midnight oak]

I hope it comes soon =3 And you enjoy!

[sick hollow]

What is a muujin?

[pine sable]

A badger-wolf hybrid that likes to hide up trees is the bext explanation i can come up with xD

[pallid ferry]

It’s a coward

[midnight oak]

And they can heal themselves up there. Hogging all the health potions. Jerks.

[shell mango]

Y-you’re supposed to be able to fish up recipes?

[noble stag]

yeah theres three you can only get by fishing and I feel like im going mad

[shell mango]

So lucky

[trail cloud]

They should all be available to fish unless they bugged it again recently

[noble stag]

how so? Ive been at this weeks and got none so im convinced theyre bust again but last time i thought that i ended up getting it the next day but thus far no such luck

[shell mango]

Like lucky you got to an empty server

[noble stag]

oh yeah i had like 500 palium and including the ones it tossed into my storage about 27K in gems

damn it i cropped the amount off when i showed my friend but i burned through two levels of my pick refusing to leave I wish I could of shared it with someone 💔

[bitter escarp]

is silk difficult to get or am I being dumb about it

[shell mango]

Some bugs give you silk threads to make silk out of

[safe nacelle]

It’s easy to get. You can get it from rare bugs like the purple centipede when mining in Bahari, azure stonehoppers in south Bahari, hairy millipedes in north Bahari or vampire crabs at night in the flooded fortress (just to name a few easy to farm ones)

[bitter escarp]

thankyou!! I feel like I can never find any of the rare bugs so this is helpful :)

[safe nacelle]

I usually get a ton when mining or I can get up to 20 vampire crabs a night using buzzy jars and being alone.
You’ll learn to spot the right bugs after a while.

The purple snails also drop it or the green glowbugs in south Bahari, the yellow butterflies in north Bahari as well or the firebreathing dragonfly around the mirror pond in Kilima

[kindred escarp]

seeing all these flowers in kilima and bahari bay ... i so wish that creators allow us to collect all these flowers someday .

[azure phoenix]

Sorry if I've missed it (I'm a new mum and don't have much time to keep up with games anymore 😂) - does anyone know when this game is out on the switch? ☺️

[trail cloud]

We don't have a date, just holidays 2023 so far

[midnight hill]

Same. I know better, and yet I still run over to try and pick them

[fervent wing]

Coming soon "Winter Changes to Kilima". Seems like a VERY underwhelming winter.

[low yarrow]

There isn't even any snow in the background

[hollow acorn]

The trees stay green and full of leaves! Hihi. It doesn't matter as long as I get my tree!!!

[fervent wing]

I know right? Was hoping for a winter wonderland

[wind mulch]

Are treasure chests (and other type of unsellable chest) just for decoration?

Is the mine the best place to get gems?

[shell mango]

Why even add splotches of snow if you’re not gonna cover the area in snow 😭 just don’t add any snow at all

[thorn temple]

indeed it is

[low yarrow]

I wish they had red dead kind of snow

[thorn temple]

excl. the repetitive part of the update (for some decos), it'll be another 1hr maybe 2 thing again

[low yarrow]

Imagine dynamic weather system

[shell mango]

They said they’d want to add smth like this in the future

[thorn temple]

eh?

[nocturne heron]

So I was reading that it will have cross over pc to switch does that mean I can start where I left off on pc along with any purchase from the premium store ?

[thorn temple]

yus it's just account based, everything is stored their side for that stuff, you'll just login on the switch like you do now on your PC

[nocturne heron]

@thorn temple that’s good

[young plank]

Like if i was thinking winter im thinking bare trees. Random times for it to snow. (could also be like rain too once its not winter) white everywhere you can see! and once you saw those piles of snow you could make a snow man! but no we get a register with some decro options like the halloween update.

[ocean stone]

They did test some weather (rain) in testing days as per a previous dev blog (linked - scroll down and you'll see a photo of said rainy day). I'd guess for now this feature is tabled while they work on general gameplay stability and switch release
https://palia.com/news/alpha-2-our-next-testing-journey

[leaden meteor]

Looks just like Eastern Europe Winter to me

[ocean stone]

All my Xmas been green the last several years thanks to climate change. Who knows what Palia environmental conditions are like

[trail cloud]

Well humanity wasnt a thing for quite a while which probably helped the climate a lot

[left fossil]

Hello. Do we have any news about palia on Nintendo Switch? 🥺

[fathom radish]

#💬│palia-general message

[gray cobalt]

Hello guys, do you know what Jina want this week ?

[gray cobalt]

Thanks you
Where did you find that ?

[proven citrus]

Other than cooking, is selling jams/pickles most profitable?

[gray cobalt]

And do you know what Einar want ?

[proven citrus]

https://palianpc.com/
This has everyone's weeklys

[low yarrow]

https://www.paliatracker.com/

[gray cobalt]

Thanks you ! 😄

Can you date everyone ? Or are you limited ? Because i wanna 100% the game by dating everyone

[fiery sphinx]

I'm romancing everyone that is romanceable. At the same time.

[tranquil nest]

You can date everyone if you would like, yes I'm also 100%ing the game because I wanna see all the neat stuff

[fiery sphinx]

This. Hodari has my heart, but I need to see all the things.

[sudden iron]

also here's the general gift list for NPCs if you're done with weekly gifts and still want to gift them something they like~

oops quality is meh, i'll try to find the better one :')

[thorn temple]

http://paliatracker.com has all that \o/

[sudden iron]

ooooh, even better
thankies~

[crystal junco]

This one isn’t even correct on some. Kenyatta does NOT like Jam lol. She thinks its beneath her standards. 🙃🤭

[sudden iron]

valid :D
dunno, just stumbled upon this pic the other day
i'm still new to the game anyways

[crystal junco]

I’m new too. Only played for 2 weeks now. I just saw one of those lists yesterday that said she liked jam and wasted my time taking it to her for her to snub me 😂 She’s so mean sometimes.

[celest maple]

:/

[low yarrow]

[whole bramble]

Same issue here

[low yarrow]

i'm stuck inside my plot

[clever zodiac]

maintenance is for sure tomorrow right 😅

[thorn temple]

yus, the in game msg does state tuesday 😄

[clever zodiac]

ok cool, the game is being very difficult today, my chat's only sometimes connected and I was stuck in my plot for a couple tries too

[whole bramble]

maybe they meant Tuesday over the pond

[outer forge]

hey so is the update news anytime now? the one describing what the game gets

[vocal cargo]

Seems like they downgraded the servers along with the layoffs.

[whole bramble]

??

[low yarrow]

tomorrow is the update

[whole bramble]

What do you mean layoffs?

[vocal cargo]

Where a company decreases their workforce

[whole bramble]

I know that. But S6 is layoffs?

[ocean stone]

There was an article about industry wide layoffs. It's not that unusual (although not something I support) in practice for game companies to layoff some staff after a big rush is over. The article quoted something like 10% for s6 layoff but we have no confirmation afaik of how many people work at s6 and what types of roles were laidnoff. Same article went on to scrutinize larger scale practices in the industry giants.

I don't know their source for the s6 layoffs other than allegedly two laidnoff employees spoke with the journalist.

[thorn temple]

they've had 8 slots for hire for the last 2 months

heh no one has applied for QA xD

[whole bramble]

I knew about larger industry, but didn't know S6 was, thought they were moving full steam ahead 😄

[ocean stone]

Yeah

[thorn temple]

too many staff for a first time company tbh, was inevitable

[sleek crow]

salut a vous est ce que qq peux me dire si je suis le seul a devoir réinstaller palia régulièrement je vous remerci

[clever zodiac]

non, mais ce n'est pas courant

[rapid furnace]

I can’t get to my house? Is this happening to anyone else? Limited time to play and I was hoping to get some goals done

[clever zodiac]

the servers are struggling this morning 😕

[sleek crow]

en plus la je reste bloquer sur instaling palia et je ne sais pas si ca vien du serveur ou de mon PC

[rapid furnace]

Hopefully they get them up soon

[ocean stone]

There is the no way home bug it seems. But also the servers are struggling a bit on/off over the last few days

[midnight oak]

Time to get into Palia via grueling tester work!

[rapid furnace]

When I try to go home I get the message “beacon not connected” or something

[thorn temple]

So what we've been doing since earlier in the year then 😄

[ocean stone]

Listen, we can't spell QA without QA(schefield)

[clever zodiac]

Ce sont probablement les serveurs, ils ont des problèmes aujourd'hui. Ce serait peut-être mieux tard, mais ils font une mise à jour demain et ça devrait être bien mieux après ça.

[peak heath]

Does Palia come to the 🇩🇰switch eshop?

[thorn temple]

rofl xD

dies

[sleek crow]

merci ginger je vais essayer d'être patient

[lucid lintel]

I just went on the plot H menu to buy a second plot and found that I have a total of 3 already. where did the other two come from??

[clever zodiac]

de rien 🙂

[ocean stone]

If you go to your switch eShop, are you able to wishlist it?

[peak heath]

Nope :/ I can’t even search for it:(

[thorn temple]

via playing the game, if you want the gazebo you'll wanna buy 2 more anyways, so lots o plots!

[lucid lintel]

ahh right. I'm just glad I could save the 50k for now 😂

[thorn temple]

yeah do all that last, when gold is trivial 😄

[ocean stone]

Oh hmmm I'm surprised. I just searched for it for US region, Switzerland, and then Denmark (wanted a comparison), and it doesn't show up on the Nintendo eShop website. Hmm

[thorn temple]

English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese on the Ninty site, then other languages later (S6 ref)

[peak heath]

Exactly 😦 I really wanted the game to get to the danish eshop xD

[ocean stone]

Maaaan

[leaden meteor]

Womaaan

[ocean stone]

[nocturne lagoon]

Anyone else having issues with Palia chat ATM?

[low yarrow]

i can't even connect to the game

[coarse abyss]

I'm pretty sure that this is because they don't have a set release date yet. One of the CMs said so a while ago, but i can't find the message. It may have been in the old channels

[fossil verge]

when with the servers be down for maintenance?? Says 8am Pacific time which is 16/4pm, but i was able to enter? Is it today??

[brisk spruce]

I'm able to wishlist it on the US eshop
@fossil verge tomorrow 8 am pacific

[fossil verge]

tomorrow? okay tyy

[vocal cargo]

#📢│palia-news message The time given is your local time

[pliant turtle]

why is the server down for maintenance when there's a full patch tomorrow!!???

[coarse abyss]

Servers are up, maintenance is tomorrow for the patch

[brisk spruce]

they just put out the notice in-game too early/worded poorly

[coarse abyss]

I really wish the "only show new announcements" button actually worked

[thorn temple]

[coarse abyss]

They sent the message out a day early It will be tomorrow

[pliant turtle]

cant login tho......

[thorn temple]

common issue as of the last few weeks, might work after update, might not, who knows \o/

[ocean stone]

Some people have success after trying a few times.

The message is posted early because people have been upset in the past about not being given due notice of patch downtime

[brisk spruce]

it just needs to have the date thrown in there

or day of the week or something

[burnt laurel]

Honestly i dont think people even read notices

[pliant turtle]

yeah, i kept pressing login, got in now i think

[burnt laurel]

Theyd only read them if they had s funny joke, theyd close it, see everyone else laughing or commenting on them, quickly go back to read the notice because they got fomo

[vocal cargo]

Problem with timezones is that not everybody is on the same date or day of the week . "Tomorrow at 9AM EST" should be ok, if they can't do local time in game.

But even that gets messed up due to today being different for people, making tomorrow not precise.

[pliant turtle]

everytime i pressed login, it made a beep and the message flickered, on try number 7 i got in...

[brisk spruce]

the current in game notice specifies PT though, making it more confusing right now than it would be with a date because it was only 3 hours ago. making it sound like it's down right now

[coarse abyss]

I would like to live in a world with universal time

[pliant turtle]

if they put the server is going down in x amount of hours then it wouldnt matter what time zone youre in?

[vocal cargo]

Correct but they'd have to constantly update the message. ( I assume the message tool isn't very robust )

[pliant turtle]

update every hour wouldnt be out the way, anyhows, im off playing now i can lol, fingers crossed tomorrow that Eshes quest is debugged 🙂

[shy jungle]

This happend for my brother last night! I thought it was hilarious. I was stuck in T-pose and other guy just chillin in mid air 😂 it was only for him tho

[coarse abyss]

✨ Just another day in Palia #cozy ✨

[untold sluice]

Yeah, gunna be honest, this is about what Winter looks like where I live until like January or February.

However, I do think it's likely that they didn't have the time/resources/or desire to transform the map grass to a white snow texture and give all the trees a white snow top layer.

I'm hoping they do it, because seasons would be a big draw for this game. Especially if they can tie it into farming gameplay.

But, I'll take anything over nothing at this point

If they can't get everything done all in one go I'll take it in parts.

[indigo vault]

Is it true we don't share on here with nodes that you do you basically now? Cus I thought it was about community if so I suggest pvp

[round lynx]

..what?

[thorn temple]

we must pvp the nodes lex!

[indigo vault]

People are saying that s6 said they don't have to share palium nodes with anyone anymore

They becoming very rude with us when we ask nicely to share

[solid elk]

Anyone else having issues with server syncing?

Again?

[flint igloo]

While it is very nice and friendly to share nodes, etc., we also have to remember everyone is entitled to play the game how they want to so that can be playing solo and taking the node for themselves. Sometimes people are in a rush and don’t have the time to call it out, have their cameras at a weird angle and don’t see others. I’m giving people the benefit of the doubt and assuming everyone is nice and Tish approved

[solid elk]

Guess it’s just me today. Cool

[flint igloo]

Maybe change servers?

[flint igloo]

Haven’t gotten on today. Did you look in #💻│tech-help or #🤝│game-help

[solid elk]

How would I change from an NA/US server to EU

[flint igloo]

Sorry. That was for the person having issues with nodes and solo players

[solid elk]

Ah

[fathom radish]

There are many players having issues with all sorts of connection/syncing/partying, no it’s not just you but there is an 8 hour maintenance tomorrow to attempt to fix some of these (we hope)

[solid elk]

Yeah i thought it got patched last time

[flint igloo]

Sometimes one patch messes up another fix

[solid elk]

Well the vpn worked. Great to know that now

[scarlet hazel]

i wonder if they even test if the patches work before sending them out cause it really feels like they dont and send it out, just hoping for the best everytime

[flint igloo]

Happens with many game companies.

[solid elk]

I’ve lost all hope when it comes to the game working as intended

[sterile night]

I was not the genius who thought of this this morning. Wish I could credit the right person, but I don't know who did it. I climbed up to a ft grove and right there in an opening was a honey lure! It was an ideal way to pass the time, work on my bug weekly (which I never get) and my bug w/friends weekly (also never get). I even leveled up. Pure genius!!!

[fathom radish]

Just be super careful theres other bugs that are being caused by trying to switch from na to eu and eu to na

[brisk spruce]

I hope their 8 hour maintenance window is long enough for them to solve everything they hope to

[fervent wing]

Adding snow, by swapping out entire materials or adding a snowy look on existing materials, in Unreal Engine is actually a fairly easy task. The devs could have easily made it without consuming much of their time, which makes it a pretty odd decision not to. Maybe it's because they're based in California and not used to snow, I don't know. But I do know that a snowy Palia would have been awesome.

[celest maple]

Happy halloween everyone, a little late btw

[pallid ferry]

Anyone who had the "EU homeplot unable to leave" but and have it fixed? I'm NA but I had to use EU VPN just to log on today

[bright ledge]

server problems s6 side, no workaround, keep trying or take a break :/

[tardy obsidian]

I'm ready for new furniture, got enough to craft a bed and 2 chairs. 🤪

[modest merlin]

Man, I need some new furniture in this game, bad.

And not like 1/3 of a new set that could barely make a single room.

[thorn temple]

the rest of the emberborn set would be nice to start off with

[modest merlin]

I agree. Especially the wall that I saw got datamined.

[thorn temple]

I want all the walls ||the pebble one, the wooden smaller one, the phoenix one and the dragontide one||

[inland pawn]

Honestly same Tired of unfinished furniture sets

[jolly idol]

A new proper set with little trinkets and stuff like Makeshift but not a 'findable' one...

[thick sundial]

You are talking about the same team that had to delay beards because they were causing lag.

[jolly idol]

Didn't S6 fire like 10% of their team or something? Might explain why things are how they are if the people who worked on certain things & know how they worked aren't there anymore....

[untold sluice]

I 100% agree, which is why I'm HOPING the idea is that this is a transitional biome as for MOST people who experience a cold holiday season the snow doesn't hit till near the end of the month, so HOPEFULLY they are preparing the map for that transition and will swap it out before they go on holiday.

If not? It could be more than just "swapping textures for snow"

As they may want things like snowman making, snow angels, or any number of gameplay elements to go with it. Not to mention modeling all the trees and houses (as well as our own) to have snow on them will be a LOT more work than just swapping a snow texture on the ground.

However, I'd personally rather have snow on the ground and nothing on the trees, etc...and they can just add the rest later.

Not to mention I'd love snow as a weather effect.

End of the day, nothing is ever as simple as just a quick texture swap. Everything else has to inform that texture to create a sense of the image as real

Already pretty annoyed that they added snow piles but yet we can't just make snowballs from them we have to buy them? Kinda ridiculous and world breaking

[untold sluice]

Given Makeshift set has all but disappeared from my loot table, and Rummage set gave me two recipes and then literally nothing of use ever again...AND the Zeki gambling mini-game.

I'm frankly tired of RNG gambling as the only way to collect anything I actually want style-wise.

Why the most mundane objects in the entire game are the hardest to acquire is maddening

Why I have to check a pile of sticks once a day every day just to make a Laundy basket is just comical. Should replace them with items that make sense, such as stick theme'd chachkies or nature related collectable display items for landscaping.

Not a whole wooden towel rack

Makeshift set has this same problem....but at least it has the excuse of you collecting thrown away junk

[modest merlin]

Also, why does the Valley Sunrise set need 5 freaking ceiling lamps!?

Also, I thought it was just me that got a couple cool things from the first few rumage piles, and then got nothing for two weeks.

Oh how naïve I was.

[celest maple]

As they may want things like snowman making, snow angels, or any number of gameplay elements to go with it.

as much as i would like it, i really doubt it (at least for this winter).
The only thing they announced are the snowballs, which pretty sure will be a smoke bomb with a simple snowball model and new hit effect.

I hope most of the devs are working on the Switch adaption and they will be allocating more resources to adding content after that.

[silver bane]

I have no issues with the makeshift items there are some nice items in that collection. I do have an issue with the rummage pile like most obtain items/quests the first two weeks and now just getting basic every day I can obtain on my own.

I have also had an issue with Zeki mini game as yes I know you can get a coin basically buying from Zeki shop but if I want to get the furniture items or display items it can take 100’s of coins because most of the time it is fireworks, crop items or cooking items and for them to charge 10k to buy a coin and receive these types of items is absurd.

Once people find a way to make a profit to obtain coins in this game it is immediately nerfed. If you want to nerf something, nerf some of the outrageous prices on items 10k for a painting , expansions (30k-100k after awhile) and so on. I know you don’t want people to get to the end game fast but also have a balance.

Adding content allows your community to prosper and enjoy the game.

[oak siren]

hoping for much more content in the update tomorrow. are we just getting the winterlights stuff or are we also getting the new temple? anyone know?

[solar swan]

bleh i wish i could connect these two w/ a hallway but nahhh

[silver bane]

Yep won’t work tried everything to attach large to a small does not line up

[solar swan]

can't even make an L shaped hallway. very sad

[oak siren]

like who has a long hall that goes from one room to the next? halways are supposed to have doors on each side. what they gave use are closets

[solar swan]

i guess this is neat

yea this looks GREAT /s

hallway sections are ok for a halfbath, but then a small room is too big for a full bath :/

[oak siren]

the lack of doors on the bathrooms is funny to me

[solar swan]

maybe we'll get a dedicated bathroom... room.,.. in an update

ok now this is a bruh moment

I HAVE A RTX 3070??

[raw wasp]

its about ram not graphic card lol

[solar swan]

I HAVE 32 GB OF RAM??

[raw wasp]

you must have a lot open for you to exceed memory then lol

[solar swan]

what do you MEAN 3 adobe products and like 150 chrome tabs is too many???

[raw wasp]

I have 16 and have only had that happen once with illustrator, youtube, and some game open

[fathom radish]

this just isnt true, since last patch many have had this issue and its a palia problem

[solar swan]

TO be fair, i wasn't joking about the 150 tabs

[raw wasp]

ive had that happen once and i wasnt playing palia at the time

[fathom radish]

usually palia is using around 3k memory now its around 5-6k

doesn’t happen every time i play either only sometimes and most often around the flow groves

[raw wasp]

my palia is around 3k rn

its definitely a RAM thing, that palia may or may not help exceeding lol

[fathom radish]

yup thats where it should be, often in bahari since last patch though its getting to 5-6k super fast and i’ve seen quite a few mention it so idk, happened a couple months ago too but was resolved after the next patch

hope tomorrow will be a successful time for the devs 💀

[modest vine]

Anyone else think that Sifuu's wife Taylin might still be out there.. ? It could be a fun thing to develop further in the future.

[signal bane]

Is it normal for river specific fish to be spawning in ponds?

[hollow coral]

Does anyone know if there's somewhere I can look up the text from the romance quests? I'd love to re-read the story Hassian tells about the stars when he asks you to meet him in his grove, for example.

[signal bane]

The official Palia wiki has quest dialogue

[hollow coral]

Oh, I found it, thank you! I was looking at the character dialog and not at the quests themselves.

[trail cloud]

No but a couple ponds in bahari are bugged and can give river fish

[brave mirage]

Does anyone want to decorate my house for me? I will pay you in a amethyst. I have all the furniture I just dont like decorating im uninspired

[signal bane]

Good to know. I'll use Kilima's ponds for now

[flint igloo]

You could make a party in #1143270926394335282 and invite the first 10 people over and give them artistic license to decorate with the furniture you layout on your plot

[finite shore]

I just counted all the quests in my completed section… 185!!! A HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE!! Show me a game that’s in beta w that many quests!!!! I still have 3 to do at the moment. And some undiscovered.

I would LOVE to know how many quests are actually in Palia!?! 300?!

[finite shore]

I could! No need to even pay me I love decorating!

If you wanna see my plot for an example add me, my username is the same as on here

[brave mirage]

Added you 🙂

[jolly idol]

I think I got the pulsating key quest again but I'm pretty sure I did it

Jina doesn't seem to care for it so it must be a bug

[abstract lark]

I think they're too ingrained in how WoW and LoL did not have actual seasons ever and all the seasonal celebrations were like this, just decorations added to towns that NEVER change in looks in World of Warcraft, or how League used to have a winter map 200 years ago but now it's "too much work".

for a life sim??? this is the choice you make for a LIFE SIM?? I just cannot understand the devs truly

[round lynx]

They be like “Palia is like animal crossing” and then do this

[worn snow]

seasonal maps should've been added from the getgo Not Going To Lie

and it should affect farming, but there should be a mid-late game greenhouse and all seeds should be available at the underground maybe but at a higher price out of season? nd then in-season crops r gotten at the general store like usual

thag alone would add a lot of life to the game :((

[flint igloo]

I just want a dragon to ride

[celest maple]

Did you guys see the xmas decorations above Zeki's house front door? Other NPC houses too?

[hasty swan]

Not that I noticed. Will have to look when I log on later

[finite shore]

Ahh!! My game just took a hard crash!

[dire coral]

Can agree with seasons affecting gardens, tho I think after they hit a much larger crop variety. Having seasonal crops would shake things a lot given the whole 'puzzle' nature of crop buffs.

Not entirely sure about seed pricings but they'd definitely help newer players avoid planting off-season crops

Overall though the feature would be really fun to watch ASDUHASHUD. If there's other skills that can be affected by seasons, you'd have a dynamic shift based on season such as cooking meta. All exciting if the in-season options can add variety without being an overall nerf

[livid cove]

Might steal this idea.

[smoky turret]

Does anyone know if there will be anything Palia related at Dreamhacks this year in Atlanta?

[night lance]

You are the first one I see playing Palia on Lenovo Go. How does it run? Native resolution or everything on low?

[south plaza]

Had some ideas about housing plot. What does everyone this of this idea? It's a little technical. I did submit this to S6 via the website so hopfully it will be considered

The housing plot itself - not including buildable area - can use some work. Specifically, I think it could be completely reworked. I am aware this will take some doing but I think it will be MUCH better than the current. Hopefully faster?

Currently (to establish record only), from Kilima's side, there's the gate, instance trigger, and the narrow(ish) path to the plot. On the housing side, there's the gate, instance trigger, path back to Kilima, and the clearing. The entire thing is an instance.

SO, my idea involves redefining what the "plot instance" consists of. Most importantly, you'd only keep the buildable area as the actual "instance". The plot board to visit others would just swap out building areas. This of course would require, to keep code sane, the mailbox and sale bin to be movable and placed inside the building area. Next, make all the meshes (except buildable area) a part of Kilima zone. Next, extend the path leading to the plot clearing, making sure it curves in downward direction - starting at an angle and going about 100-120 degrees to provide proper cover. Instead of the zone triggers on either end, you would have three on Kilima's side. Having the path sloped downward allows the clearing to have higher cliff faces. Also leaves room in case S6 ever decides a buildable two-story house would be cool to have. At the end of the path, right before the clearing, use a swappable rock wall mesh to cover the void when unloaded.

trigger1: load geometry meshes for the clearing. This is placed at the swing gate.
trigger2: load plot instance. Placed around 10-20ft past the gate to allow completion of clearing.
trigger3: Unload both the clearing and plot instance. This one is placed in front (closer to the village) of trigger1 so that if player hits trigger1 and then decides to leave right away, the plot is still unloaded as normal. Would probably have to force abort the task from trigger1.

The idea is that the player doesn't have a loading screen between Kilima and their plot. It also eliminates the need to keep reloading all the meshes that never change. Can probably load the instance in this order too: trees+bushes+rocks, structures (rooms and tents) and mailbox+sale bin, fences, and then everything else.

[meager socket]

I think there are missing colliders behind the lighthouse -.- I allready fallen in the floor in two different places

[low yarrow]

It's been like this for a while hopefully today's update will fix it

[trail cloud]

I find it kinda hard to visualize what you want to do tbh. You want the house only be a separate instance while the mailbox and shipping bin are basically in kilima?

[meager socket]

i can´t even use the unstuck thing in the Chat -.-

[low yarrow]

If you go towards the Lighthouse you can jump up

[weak sonnet]

I am DESPERATE for some form of cantina or cafe in Bahari - these grove chops are making me lose focus like crazy and I'm not the best when it comes to remembering to take food with me. Reth honey, please sell a franchise across the border - mumma needs her lettuce soup!

[narrow oyster]

Yeah a dedicated place to relax and socialize might be nice

[vague chasm]

[indigo dust]

lettuce make some notes

[worthy nest]

What stuff besides new quests are added in this patch?

[lime mirage]

A Palia code bugs spray can to carry with you.

[earnest stone]

Guess no Palia for me today. Will be working and going home and arrive when the patch is starting and go to bed an hour before it ends^^ Hope the will fix the climbing bug or maybe doing something big like seperating shoes from pants

[wild crater]

When it ´s happen, I go back home

[warm python]

Who's got patch bingo card duty tomorrow

/sprays down the channel with flame... okay I know that word is not getting past the automod, uhhh, anti fire chemicals lmfao

Will the snow be enough to put out the dumpster fire the discord will inevitably be as is tradition, we shall have to see

[visual pasture]

I would love to hear if/when you get a reply regarding this! o.o

[crystal topaz]

Absolutely agree with this! I am really surprised that S6 didn't utilize a persistentworld setup with their zones.

[tardy obsidian]

sometimes I wanna get into gamedev just to read assumptions people write on the forums 😅
the reason you have a loading screen is because your plot is a 25man server shared with 24 other people.
the reason it takes so long is because of matchmaking, actual map load takes 4 seconds and the plot is streamed after loading in
your "comlpete rework" (avoid using this phrase if you want any developer of anything ever to treat your suggestions seriously) completely breaks multiplayer aspect of housing plots too but I get it, the game's barely multiplayer so it's easy to forget how it works

[twilit niche]

any chance anyone can help me out here, i can't leave my plot

[lime mirage]

welcome to the club. EU or NA player ?

[twilit niche]

eu

[lime mirage]

Same. Have this issue "unable to connect" since mid October and three tickets at support.
I can't even join game since yesterday. They have a flaw in their infrastructure or way users are allocated to servers. Happens to me also when I come back from Bahari with invent full (or not) and teleporting to Kilima. Obviously there are not enough instances of servers to host all players.
I have little hope they will fix this with this Tuesday patch (US time).
Would be curious to see how many users with this issue are in EU on "EU servers".
Using a VPN to NA did cure it on some occasions for me. But I'm more and more convince the issue migth not be networking (DNS) related at all. More like a design flaw from the begining in users/maps/instance of server relation. I love this game but the way support did address my tickets make me want to throw stones I get from chapas.
.
Strikes me how smooth it was to load after login and change maps at will at begin of beta in August. It went down the drain since. My guess the "unable to connect" happens when the game can't find a server free slot for you to join (at load or map change). I saw a change in perfs when Epic users joined by the dozens.

[finite shore]

Commenting again to ask how many quests there are again in the game??

I counted all mine quests and there’s 183!!

[lime mirage]

No idea sorry. May check when I get a chance to get in again. Proly not before Wednesday my time. If I can.

[tawdry tartan]

Does anyone know if the pelia is live in the switch yet?

[abstract lark]

you're forgetting that nothing gets unloaded on your plot (we're not talking about culling) and that each plot has a what 4k items limit or whatever? you can only cache so much, and if you prioritize house buildings you still will never ever have a smooth load experience if you want to stream 500 different meshes and place them on 4k positions, with real time shadows
this is not that kinda game for such hardcore approaches, this kind of loading has to be extra optimized, think of it like gta vi level of optimization, never going to happen

[spark flint]

What are you doing with quest items? I still have Einar's pebble pile and the Phoenix Fortunes although I finished those quests...

[trail cloud]

I throw them into Storage

[spark flint]

Me too, but they're taking away space and I'll never need them again ._.

[thorn temple]

they take 0 space (save for the odd item)

[spark flint]

yeah, I didn't mean it in a literal way 😄 I just meant they're lying there in the chest with no use.

[lyric night]

I completed everything questwise in the game for now and have ~210 + there are a few quests, that I was not able to do bcs they trigger if u mess up a quest and start an additional one, one of subiras new friendship quests for example

[coral coral]

Mhm of all the "befriending" quests that you only get if you didn't max out all NPCs at the same time

Or don't give a pebble to Eianar before getting a quest prompt to do so, don't have the right mining level check for one, etc. I've given up on trying to have all quests haha

[hexed flax]

ohh, is that why I never triggered the pebble quest??

well dang

[coral coral]

At least the reward for "Pebbles for Einar" is just a bit of renown and friendship 😦

[hexed flax]

i thought there was a pebble that we're supposed to get, too?

[coral coral]

Ah that you just get from a certain dialogue response with Einar while chatting, Werelex will probably clarify haha

[round lynx]

You get a shiny pebble decor if you pick the water personality dialogue option when he asks you how your day was on one of the lower friendship levels. The dialogue never comes up again and if you’re max friendship with him I suggest you make a ticket so that they mail it to you

[round lynx]

I was literally typing it already
I’m so predictable

[coral coral]

I'm max Friendship and made a ticket and they just told me "you'll get it at some point" lowkey was offended 🥲😂

[round lynx]

At some point? When???
Idk man I sent my max relationship with him they just mailed it to me

[coral coral]

I keep saying I never recieved it to place it and my reports just get closed 😄

[round lynx]

Lol you’re getting gaslit by Palia support

[wind mulch]

Do you have to have all shiny pebbles to turn them in?

[coral coral]

Figured i'd give it a break until the invisibility bug is fixed so i can definitively say I did not recieve it

[round lynx]

It is fixed actually lol that’s why I made a ticket as soon as the patch dropped, I was so jealous of other folks and also they didn’t let the rest of us have the pebble

[round lynx]

No, you can gift them at your own pace. But right now I suggest you hold on to your pebbles because the achievement with them is bugged.

[thorn temple]

I still have the broken lute quest item and not deco, the same for pebbles, all sorts - I just don't trust that it'll be sorted so I don't bother 😄

[hollow acorn]

I could not place the pebble. It is invisible.

[coral coral]

They sent me this literally 3 days ago T.T so that's even worse ahaha

[hexed flax]

thanks, i'll do that after they get through today's patch

[round lynx]

You can’t get Badruus lute unless you make a ticket :/
Yes they didn’t announce it I had to find out from other players

[coral coral]

But yeah i figured the pebble was like Badruu's lute, fixed for some and not fixed for others

[thorn temple]

correct, I dont' believe they actually will so I don't bother ticketing \o/

[coral coral]

They did send me the new lute after a ticket

[hexed flax]

i've yet to be broken down. probably because i've only been playing since october.

[wind mulch]

Ah gotcha! Thank you!

[hexed flax]

still have new player stars in my eyes lol

[hollow acorn]

What about Jina's flower Pot? Still broken?

[lyric night]

yup

[fathom radish]

Ooh i sent a ticket for the lute and the pebble, got both sent to me in game mail

[round lynx]

Same

[coral coral]

They hate me

[thorn temple]

my one and only ticket was ignored and the logs broke the form itself, then I just ignored the entire thing and carried on with my day 😄

[hollow acorn]

I want to place the pebble, the flowers and the lute, please.

[rapid haven]

I placed Jina's flowers and they were invisible and then disappeared completely and I wasn't able to pick them up again. LOL. Badruu's lute worked for me, though, and I was able to place it in my house.

[round lynx]

My first ticket was about Hekla lying to Einar that I’m cheating on him and the support said Hekla is just jealous because she wants Einar to herself and I was like ok this is canon

[fathom radish]

honestly i think it depends who you get as the support worker because a friend also got memed by one and had to send in all logs/pc specs, screenshots etc and only then after a week got it sent in mail

[hollow acorn]

That is a rather cool move of them. Very interesting plot line.

[fathom radish]

I literally just said hi i never got Einar’s pebble decor and that was all, no logs/screenshots etc

[round lynx]

Damn what not even sending pics of the friendship tab? Are you privileged or what?

Pookie you should tell them your 3k Palia coins disappeared they’ll believe you

[fathom radish]

They check my account info with 1000 played hours and just automatically send, no questions asked

I joke btw pls ily Palia support team

[finite shore]

Oo thank you so much for that info!! So many quests 🤩

[hexed flax]

it's weirdly quiet in here today

[round lynx]

wait a few more hours for the servers to go down

[scarlet hazel]

i bet the patch notes will be once again, a big nothing burger

[ocean stone]

[lyric night]

christmas decor, snowballs, approach of achievement fix and cosmetics, nothing more to expect, like we know that for weeks now xD

[scarlet hazel]

snowballs we gotta pay for too 💀

[lyric night]

and they are only edited smokebombs, don't rly care about them, at least we need to gather the decor and don't throw gold at the register

[pliant turtle]

is there any way to track what shiny pebbles you have found and given him, or just look on the wiki and check each spot?

[lyric night]

no way to track them ingame

[proven citrus]

Did they remove the option to choose from three silhouettes when crafting furniture or is that a bug?

[pliant turtle]

why not have snowballs as things you pick up from ground, only Zeki could charge for snow lol

[lyric night]

not all furniture set have those, moonstruck for example iirc

[scarlet hazel]

cause s6 hasnt figured out the technology to do that yet

[vital moon]

You just gave Zeki an idea

[pliant turtle]

moonstruck do, im currently working on that set, if you havent go the silhouette's then you have made it all?

[proven citrus]

I just started the kilima set and it would just give me a recipe instead of choosing

[hexed flax]

omg Hekla's SL quests are heartbreaking

[narrow oyster]

Oh no i hope the new Asia Pacific server won't lock me out from other region like EU server to NA

[drowsy ice]

Any idea if more uses for reknown will be added? I'm dropped off playing a lot, because I'm capped and don't wanna complete achievements and just lose the rewards. Have they said anything about adding additional things to spend it on?
