[lunar steppe]

Okay guys - I'm getting time to almost pick a shep and unlocked a couple options - who'd you pick and was it a good cut scene?

[iron echo]

I just did my ceremony yesterday!! I picked Zeki and I cried lol

[lunar steppe]

aweee!

[iron echo]

Who are you thinking of choosing?

[lunar steppe]

I unlocked Jina and Tish - but Kenyatta and I are close to it. I was also thinking Jel?

[iron echo]

There’s honestly not a bad option I love them all 😭 I almost asked Jina just bc I saw a graphic that showed she was asked the least

[lunar steppe]

😦 she's so sweet no lol

It may come down to how impatient am I to unlock all those options lol

[iron echo]

Hahah I feel you, it doesn’t seem to really matter story wise at least as of now so fair enough

[lunar steppe]

but you only can choose one 👀 so much pressure lol

Kenyatta Romance spoiler - you'll never guess which one I picked (earth)

[wide hound]

My version of Fire: ||Who?||

[young jewel]

Can somone help? I havent played for a while was working one bundles. went to all locations for emberseeker medallions no boxes left there but i only have 3 medallions. what do i do?

[fiery perch]

You could try asking in #🤝│quest-help , #🐣│palia-newbies , #🤝│game-help (not sure which would be better, maybe quest help?) to see if they have an idea!

[shut barn]

Just saw a video talking about the acquisition. I've not ever played EQ so I know nothing about the company, yet I'm seeing conflicting info about what this means for the future of Palia. So I guess my main question is, how worried should I be that the game might get gutted and rebranded?

[rustic oyster]

Nobody can tell at the moment... I am at a 5 on a worrying scale from 1-10.
Influencers/Ytuber today have sadly only 2 modi: Praise or Drama
I could not find something totally bad about the company, but also it's not everything roses and sunshine.

[proud bluff]

I like to think if Tamala can have it, we can too sob or at least, have the leaf details on the walls/vines. (and her wallpaper thank you very much her walls inside are so nice)

I'd pay way too much money for her greenhouse window area too.. Like come on pleaseeeee? Pretty please?

I hope they add a 'sit' option on the benches. I love the way we can look over it, but I don't want to awkwardly have to climb onto the bench, try and position myself (which takes a while), then make myself sit on it (with half of my body off and my arms clipping into the back of the bench) - I love those benches, but pretty please make them usable. (for multiple people? not just one person?)

[proud bluff]

Truthfully, there is no point worrying and stressing out, the game definitely isn't gonna go down before it hits 1.0 - in fact, there is a good chance it'll be longlasting because of better funding. (: a lot of people are panicking and doombraining, which isn't being good to a lot of easily stressed out people (basically setting off more people, and bouncing/growing more stress) Enjoy the game, have a good time, and if anything happens, we'll know. But for now everything is on a good track and it's good to be cautiously optimistic! ❤️

[ocean tartan]

This was day 3 IRL of searching for an emerald. I try to stop at 1000 copper per day and STILL no emerald. I'll never complete the bundle

[mossy mica]

@normal timber Hi! I’m responding here since it’s a much quicker cooldown. Zeki’s Underground Prize Wheel use actual coins. The Prize Wheel from Maji Market used Lucky Envelopes. You’ll have to play hotpot in the Underground to get the coins needed to spin the wheel. If you win, you get two coins, but if you lose, you still get one coin.

I will add that one of the prizes from the Underground prize wheel IS a “lucky coin.” The ones used at Zeki’s Lucky Coin box.

[void sierra]

I have one more bundle to complete 😄

[mossy mica]

I don’t like to spoil things or offer suggestions if someone didn’t ask for it, but it pains me when I see people sell epic or legendary items, especially if it’s their first time acquiring said item.

[granite heath]

They all have to learn one way or another 😂

[mossy mica]

This is so true. Now, if someone asks “should I sell this,” I’ll give a hint, such as “You may need this later on, so I’d keep it,” or “this item is extremely common, so you don’t need to hoard it.” Before the Water temple, I caught a ||dawnray|| and sold it. Turns out I needed it for one of the bundles. This was in August last year. Since then, I keep at least two of everything (bugs, fish)

I saw someone sell a starred giant Kilima stingray. It hurt my soul. I have two starred ones, and they are both displayed. 🤣

[granite heath]

I would have been so upset to see that 😂

[weary void]

Did you already donate them at the temple?

[mossy mica]

Unless I catch 12 starred Kilima stingrays, I’m not selling a single one. 🤣 Then again, some people don’t care about that, so to each their own. I have like 7 starred void rays, and i plan on displaying them all. 🤣

[dire kraken]

hot take: if it's hits 3 am and we're waiting for mroe people for a hotpot game, it should start immediately u_u

[cinder comet]

Have you ever had an emerald

[weak wigeon]

Maybe someone has mentioned this before, but, if Daybreak implements some P2P or P2W stuff in the game, what do you guys think that'd be?

I was thinking there's not much P2W stuff just because of the kind of game Palia is. Maybe some mounts, or stronger arrows/fishing baits/etc. Something that gives a bit of advantage to players that pay for them, nut other than that I couldn't think if anything.

As in P2P, I was thinking they might introduce new maps and NPCs (things that have been mentioned ingame, such as ||Bahari City, Nuroo, the Duchess|| etc) as paid DLCs or Expansions, just like WoW or FFXIV... I was talking to some friends and the idea of monthly sub came up but I sincerely doubt it, so I'm sticking with the Expansions... That's the only thing I could think of, what do you guys think?

Tbf, if they decided to make paid Expansion packs i would definitely buy them since I've played so many hours of this game (and i'd play way more) and it wouldn't really feel like a waste

I just read the rule 5 thing and idk if what i said is against it Oopsie

[lyric night]

paid expansions would be fine AFTER 1.0 launch I guess, but still a weird move and will cost them a lot of players very likely so idk

[hexed cloak]

I feel bad for you, but at the same time that bundle was the easiest for me. The hardest were the ones involving fishing

[weak wigeon]

Tbh knowing what Daybreak is known for... I think it's the best option haha

[haughty coral]

Ive been thrown out of hotpot by crashing 4 times tonight. No way I'm paying for a broken game

[hexed cloak]

"Pay to win" means selling unfair advantage for real money. Stronger gear is definitely P2W

[lyric night]

for the p2w part only thing they could do is monetizing items hard to get for convenience + paid furniture sets

maybe a luck boost as well

we'll have to see what'll happen in the end
as long as they don't move to subscription

[weak wigeon]

I also thought about furniture but i don't think that could be considered Pay to win since it gives no advantage to players. That's why i said paid mounts, or weapons that do a better job than the ones we have or stuff like that!

[hexed cloak]

Paid furniture is fine actually, since furniture is cosmetic

[lyric night]

connected to pay 2 win actually with the upcoming housing tours which will grant rewards on rating

[weak wigeon]

Oh wait does it have rewards?

[lyric night]

it will have rewards yeah is mentioned in the teaser on the board

[weak wigeon]

I thought it was just for people to get inspired and that's it

But still, if you buy furniture but don't know how to decorate, it doesn't really matter!

I get your point tho, it's completely valid

[hexed cloak]

Lol there aren't even negative ratings. I assume even if you have a pretty mediocre plot you will still get the rewards easily, since people would leave you a rating out of common courtesy

[lyric night]

I hope that they will come up with a roadmap / plans for monetization in the coming months to give a bit more insights in their plans, now that daybreak owns s6

[hexed cloak]

And I assume the rewards themselves will be furniture.

[lyric night]

probably trophies

I would love to see a battlepass

[weak wigeon]

I still don't see how a plushie/furniture/trophy would count as advantage against other players :c

[weak wigeon]

I thought they were gonna do something like that in teh underground! xD

[midnight oak]

Chapaa Funtime Pass! You get fur and meat on the free track and a chapaa mount on the premium track

[hexed cloak]

That would be scummy, to make a F2P game then make it paid. Get people hooked then make em pay up. But I'll still pay since I'm hooked

[weak wigeon]

I don't think Palia is a game that can easily implement P2W other than a couple things. It's zero competitive, there are no rankings, people don't compare each other when it comes to level, each player goes at their pace and it doesn't affect anyone if you have more bugs than me quicker, idk

[weak wigeon]

That'd be cute, Hassian would hate it

[lyric night]

in the end there is nothing to win in palia, we can't get an advantage for anything

it might get other forms of paying, pay4convenience, pay2decorate

we still don't know what their plans will be, bcs they shared nothing yet, probably are just now working on it

[weak wigeon]

"Ugh i gotta worry about those pesky chapaas and now you appear with a GIANT one, what's wrong with you?? " And for the ones romancing him: "You're lucky i like you..." jhahahahaha

[hexed cloak]

If they do "super glow worms" which guarantee a rare or epic fish, or "supreme arrows" which one shot any creature including magic, or "instant grow fertilizer", that would be 100% P2W

[weak wigeon]

That'd be way too OP, it'd make the game boring and pointless, i hope they don't do anything like that

[lyric night]

there is no winning in palia at all the only pay2win in palia would be to win a hotpot round instantly

[weak wigeon]

Hotpot card skins Just cosmetic but imagine your cards all SHINY and yassified 💅

[iron echo]

I’ve been playing for a month and got my first one the other day 😭

[hexed cloak]

Like the million variations of Uno

[lyric night]

think that will cost them more in the end than it yields
a lot of ppl will be burned out from hotpot until then xD

[weak wigeon]

Imagine UNO in palia

[weak wigeon]

it was a joke! haha

[hexed cloak]

That would be even more rage inducing than hotpot

[weak wigeon]

can't wait to see that

I mean, I would prefer base game free and paying for expansions

same LOL but palia is too small to implement monthly subs i think

[hexed cloak]

I'll buy all of your outfits, just don't make the game itself paid

[weak wigeon]

Just saying, i don't think an expansion would be too expensive for palia, maybe 25-30 at most (or even less), and with how many hours we all play, and played, that'd be worth the money

Just ONE outfit is 20-35 (the witch one for example). If people pay that for one outfit, they'd pay it for onw or two whole maps and NPCs,fish, bugs, etc

I know it's not the same cause content/cosmetics tho

But in the companie's heads it probably works like that

[hexed cloak]

Honestly? I'll even take P2W over the game becoming fully paid.
My ranking (top I'm most ok with, bottom least)

1. Only paid stuff is cosmetics, like now
2. Battle pass
3. Pay to win
4. Paid expansions
5. One time payment
6. Subscription

[weak wigeon]

3 as in "pay to play" or... ? me no understand

[hexed cloak]

3 as in advantage for money, like I described in my example

[weak wigeon]

Ah okay!

[hexed cloak]

Thing is, outfits are optional. You can not buy one and it won't affect your game experience, except your character not looking pretty.
With paid expansions you'll miss out on content unless you pay

[weak wigeon]

1- Only paid stuff is cosmetics
2- Paid expansions
3- Battle pass
4- One time payment
5- Pay to win
6- Subscription

I'd go like this, prob. Battle pass sounds good but if it goes by seasons, too much money

[weak wigeon]

i mentioned it below that ^^

But a company is probably gonna think "If people pay 30€ for an outfit they might as well pay 25€ for more content". Even more one known for LOVING money xD

I wonder if they'd make us buy the game... I mean the people that has been there since beta and already has everything done and stuff. And i wonder how they'd do that if you have the game in both steam and switch... Paying twice? Just once?

[hexed cloak]

They'd probably still have to give the game for free to people who own premium store content, otherwise people will be mad

[weak wigeon]

Then i don't see One time payment an option. They either do it after the beta ends and just people that register after beta will pay, or it'll stay free

They're not gonna pick the players based on what they bought or if they didn't

Too much work

There are many games that have a free Beta and become paid after they're released, so it's an option. AND in some of them, beta testers get to keep it for free (or get an upgrade to paid bersion for free)

[lapis hawk]

Is it just me or the tower mini game is just too much? Cuz there's no check point when we reach the next level

🥲 it's tiring when you progress a lot then suddenly you fell down n restart

[weak wigeon]

Guys have they sent you another leafy palfox?

they sent me a repeated mail lol

[lyric night]

they send them out again bcs some ppl ´missed them

[weak wigeon]

i see!

[honest scarab]

One of the reasons I think there is now the march to a 1.0 release is the exectation it will bring a good sized influx of cash, but not just due to potential new players. I'm going to throw my hat into the prediction ring and say Palia will be f2p up to a certain point, most likely the 2 maps we currently have, but to move into the next map and forward, players will have to pay somehow for access. Some big player wants,like mounts, will only be in future maps. I don't know much about Daybreak but I think they already have games following this type of monetization. One way to save money is to implement what you know already works, not try something new or continue with something which has only been limping along.

[sudden bay]

A lot of people stopped playing DDLV because of this very reason. I hope they don't go this route.

[livid dirge]

this game is 80% about furniture at this point, theres no competition so its not really only cosmetic. Every single update is about new furnitures, sometimes you have to hunt for them, sometimes frindship or achievements, but this game is all about decorating your plot in the end

So cash furnitures is putting their main content behind a paywall

[lapis hawk]

I think the puzzles still nice but the mini game in the tower? I don't know 😆 next level no check point .. you fell, you basically done for

[mossy jetty]

#1208356372639518750 message

[wet wyvern]

thankyou!

[true pond]

Hiding a map behind a paywall would literally go against what they said.

[lyric night]

new company u can literally throw everything they said into the trash

but we'll see what will happen in the end we have no info yet so everything in here is speculation anyways

[true pond]

I’d hold off judgement until later tbh.

[oblique mauve]

Hello friends, I need some help 🥰 I am having a glitch where if I place a crafter or something “interactable” on a builders block floor piece, it glitches outside of the plot. Has anyone come up with a solution? They do not glitch on the small crates.

[oblique mauve]

I think we need 3-6 months to fully understand what the effects will be. So I’ll play until the game dies if/when that happens.

[worthy oxide]

I'm looking to learn more about the compass / tracker items. Ore compasses need Silver bars to craft, and silver can only be found in Kilima-- are they useful for finding more silver, or should I just bum around kilima without one?

For the fishing ones, do they help you find rare fish, or simply show you the nearby bubble ring spots?

Are there any tips on which ones are worthwhile, and are some of them more dependant on use in parties (like the hunting horn is WAY easier to use in a party)?

Any and all trivia and advice would be welcome!

[true pond]

Genuinely think we need to stop dramatizing every announcement. These discussions about the game dying are getting old and repetitive. I also understand it’s everybody’s right to express whatever they feel and that me feeling a type of way about the dramatics won’t stop the conversations. To each their own.

[celest maple]

Hi there. I don’t think the compass shows you copper nodes

[celest maple]

Just show you fishing nodes aka bubble rings

[worthy oxide]

Hmm. That means the fishing ones are probably best for finding bubble rings well away from the shoreline in Bahari, because the ocean there is GLUTTED with them. Probably good for ponds, ig

is it possible to get starred fish without the fishing nodes?

[celest maple]

In my opinion they are useless. You can find nodes all the same on your own

[celest maple]

Nope

[lyric night]

compass will track any large ore nodes copper and iron and any sized palium node so its very helpful for palium farming

I personally very rarely, almost never use the compass in kilima bcs large copper nodes are rare so it would be wasted
tuning fork will only lead u to anyhotspots

compass, hunter horn and buzzy jar are the best trackers

the foraging one is meh, helpful for brightshrooms and heatroots if u need them tho
and tuning fork is completely useless

[worthy oxide]

I always make a point to stop at large stone and ore nodes, it's been enough to keep me in copper pretty well

Foraging with the trackers has been nice to me, it's great to party up and chase them, and given how they work you can invite non-party members to follow along

Good to know the tuning forks are completely useless, tho. I was wondering if that was the case

[primal plaza]

I'm sure this has been brought up, but I just want to say that having less spots at hotpot than are in a server is making the game pretty unenjoyable. I LOVED hotpot at the Maji Market. People were so nice and it really built a sense of community in the game. Now, hotpot is miserable. People fight over spots, and if you accidentally take a spot that someone was at before you, you get accused of "spot sniping" or called out for "stealing someone's spot". Not to mention the fact that people just want everyone to play as fast as possible and will harass people who don't know what they're doing/people they think are taking too long. And YOU BETTER NOT CUT IN THE PRIZE WHEEL "LINE" even if half of the line is literally invisible to you, you will get eaten alive.

Anyways, please just add more hotpot seats than server spots and please make the wheel spinnable by multiple people at once. The current situation is making hotpot completely unenjoyable and the community is getting really toxic over it.

[worthy oxide]

That should go in feedback. I also think they should give more coins for a single play

And change some of the prize options (removing purchaseable-from-zeki unstarred ingredients)

Extra coins for how many sets/runs you have at the end of play would make sense, doubling it for the winner

[primal plaza]

is there a feedback spot on the discord or are you talking about on the website?

[worthy oxide]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1162064028537991168

[primal plaza]

thanks!

[worthy oxide]

No prob!

[thorn cypress]

Because of this, I've intentionally turned off chat when entering the underground. Their social activity has made me much less social. I figure, what I don't know won't hurt me in the underground 😆 Don't get me wrong, I am in no way antisocial, I just prefer to play hotpot in peace until they add another table.

[primal plaza]

i definitely understand that and i may have to do that as well. it's really horrible

[thorn cypress]

I agree, I don't like doing that but it is an option

[primal plaza]

i went server hopping for a very long time trying to find an open table because they were all completely full, finally found an open spot after many tries and it looked like someone was afk. instantly got in chat "thanks for stealing my spot"

im just trying to play a card game in a cozy game 😭

[thorn cypress]

I will never understand some people being that obsessive in this type of game. Just know it's not a you issue and try not to let others ruin the fun for you.

[alpine hatch]

anyone else here got the mountain scenery?

[thorn cypress]

I don't, but I visited a plot that has it. It was really pretty.

[primal plaza]

thanks, i really appreciate it. i have a really young baby and can't always be on right at 6pm in game time to run to the table and secure a spot (for the hours i even get to play). it's just frustrating and makes me feel upset that i just can't enjoy the game or even get the chance to get some of the things in the prize wheel. @thorn cypress

i filled out the feedback form though. hopefully the devs take it into consideration :/

[alpine hatch]

ah i see, cuz i wanted to ask if its just me or is it weird to have the great view pointing north instead of south

because that just makes the sun go behind the mountain most of the day

[thorn cypress]

You're welcome! I feel like they should have anticipated this type of behavior from some players since there aren't enough spots for the entire server. I will submit feedback, too. Maybe the more that do, the better the outcome.

[signal kayak]

if each server can only hold 25 players, there should be 9 tables in the underground (that should give 27 spots total). as far as wheels to spin, they are available all day long, can go at noon and nobody is there

[primal plaza]

yeah, the wheel spin issue i can def work with if they just add the table(s) to solve that issue

[signal kayak]

how many tables are there right now? i've stopped playing palia right now since there's nothing major to pay attention to

[thorn cypress]

That is pro to me, I love how my plot looks at dusk and low lighting. If I buy one that will probably be the winner for me because of that lol

[thorn cypress]

I think we are one table short. I think, if I just counted in my head right.

[primal plaza]

that sounds right, i think there are 8

wait, 8x4? that isnt right lol im not sure how many there are

[signal kayak]

ah, so someone can;t do maths /jk

and neither can i, 7 tables would be needed (that's 28, right?)

[primal plaza]

hahahha apparently not

all that i know is that every table is full and constantly going and that there are people waiting in overflow for people to leave tables all the time

even if i server hop multiple times

[alpine hatch]

well i mean, you would still have the same for morning and evening, but you also would have more light during the day

[mossy mica]

THIS! I've had my spot "taken" by a friend before, and it was no big deal. I "sniped" someone elses spot once, and they were like "someone stole my spot :(." It left a bad taste in my mouth. I literally said "You can have it back. We're all just trying to do the same thing at once." And it's not like I was waiting by their table to take it. I came into the Underground and saw the table had 3/4 spots, so I joined.

[thorn cypress]

Oh jeez, I am imagining it wrong aren't I? Scratches head like Elouisa 😂 oops!

[thorn cypress]

Maybe 6 then? I am bad at imaging things outside of the game apparently haha and at math too

[lyric night]

yup 7 tables would be needed so all of the 25 players on the server are able to join a game, but the best would probably be to somehow reduce the server size to 24 so every table can have 4 ppl playing but thats probably easier said than done

[ocean tartan]

I’ve never had an emerald, no. It’s so disheartening working at it for days and getting no result. Almost tempted to not bother with the bundle.

[signal kayak]

well, to be fair, playing hotpot by yourself is the absolute best imho. because you can run through the game without having to wait on other players (or the jerks that afk the game). usually it's a second or two between when you place a card and the turn coming back to you

[alpine hatch]

haha you're alright 😂 make it facing south would just mean turning it by 180° so east and west would be the other way around but technically the same :D

[lyric night]

yeah but u also need to wait 1 1/2 minutes until the game starts

[mossy mica]

I like playing hotpot alone in Maji Market. It went quicker.

[thorn cypress]

I have read some Switch players having trouble with disconnecting during hotpot. So if someone goes afk or disappears, I just assume it's a game problem.

[mossy mica]

I don't know what region you all are in, but I have found many NA servers (now) that aren't immediately full in the Underground.

[dense kayak]

I wanna go play hotpot now 🤣🤣

[mossy mica]

I'm in the underground waiting for 6

[dense kayak]

I’m making dinner or I’d hop on 😅 but seeing all the chat about it made me wanna play lol

[mossy mica]

I haven't played in like 3 days.

[thorn cypress]

Cardinal directions 101 😂

[mossy mica]

LMFAO, I JINXED MYSELF. Literally was playing hot pot and an argument ensued. LOL, I join a table BEFORE 6 that only had 3 people standing at it...played a round, and then was accused of taking a table

God, people are insufferable.

[wide hound]

Whenever I see a table with 3 people, I go to the empty spot, wave, wait a bit. If they wave back, I stay. Haven't had anyone tell me a seat is taken/occupied yet

[mossy mica]

I know there's an issue with people being "ghosts," but you can still see their name. There was NO ONE at this spot, and I was standing there at like 4:30 in game. Apparently, the 3 people at the table were in a party together, and their 4th member disconnected. They must've DC'd before I got there because I stood in my spot the entire time, and no one said ANYTHING.

I blocked the person that called me a jerk and said I was rude. Like, girl, I didn't even DO ANYTHING.

[worthy oxide]

I can't see names when people are ghosts

But like, honestly, I've just been wandering in and getting spot sniped and looking for another table like, it's... no big deal?

I wish you could reserve tables, or play solo, like we could replace some of the full metal chapaa video game stations with a hotpot game that gives 1 coin per play (no extra coin) so people can do things solo or learn how to play on their own

[mossy mica]

When I left the second game, because I was not about to stay in a server and deal with that BS, there was a spot open, I believe. Like...they could've just joined that. THIS is why folks do not enjoy hot pot.

[primal plaza]

Yeah, it really is frustrating, especially when they have new items that people want locked behind hotpot. Like I want to play the game and earn the rewards, but get chewed out every time I walk into the underground for stupid things. :/

[lyric night]

most of the times players form groups so they can coordinate their moves maximizing their outcome per night

so as long as its done nicely
and especially if there are other spots open there should be no problem for anyone to give the group that table

if they start being disgusting I personally would mute chat and wait my full turn so they can't enjoy the game

[mossy mica]

The 4th party member was appreciative, but the another person jumped in and should choose their words better because it easily came off as being accusatory. Mind you, this is IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROUND, so I am trying to focus on the game, while having 2-3 people talk at me.

[mossy mica]

I just left after the second game was done, and blocked one person. Because at the end of the day, it's not that serious

[turbid igloo]

I kind of wish there was just a table at your plot and groups could plan on playing at someone’s house. Then it could save the underground tables for people who aren’t in a group trying to play together.

[lyric night]

in general there are a few design flaws with hotpot(in the underground) and it seems to be a rushed
2 coin requirement doesn’t feel good
not enough tables to play at
rates are frustrating in terms of furniture

they need to at least change the coin requirement to make the wheel feel better, that would do a lot, and add one more table, thats it

[mossy mica]

Like many others, I'm lacking pirate furniture and plushies, so I'd like to play, too! When I walked to the table, the only reason I chose that table (aside from it being the closest) was one of the players at the same outfit as me. LITERALLY THAT'S ALL. Now, I will go be a recluse because people are ksluddgkjg

[thorn cypress]

This is why I do mute chat in the underground lol also, even if there are spots that appear open at a table I will always choose an empty table if possible. That way people can join me, instead of me trying to join them.

[lyric night]

ppl being weird is one of the reasons I rarely play hotpot alone

the other is I'm used to my friends and I playing the game rly fast, I always fall asleep playing with randoms

[thorn cypress]

and people do be weird sometimes 😁

[mossy mica]

I play quickly, too. Most games of hot pot are with other random people because I play solo most of the time. However, trying to explain stuff to people WHILE THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME AND CANNOT SEE YOU, is distracting. Like, I'm trying to focus on the game, and I cannot see where other people are at in the Underground WHILE playing hotpot.

[true pond]

What servers are you joining for these stories.

[thorn cypress]

Them trying to argue in the middle of the game seems counterproductive if they are going for speed haha I cant help but laugh at those types when they become so obsessive over something so trivial. I am sorry that happened to you though, @mossy mica . This is supposed to be enjoyable but some people have a way of ruining things.

[mossy mica]

This is the first time anything like this has happened to me. It was in the Underground. I went back through the messages, and the person who I thought was being rude wasn't even part of the party/situation.

[true pond]

I see

[signal kayak]

i feel like the prize wheel should be an equal chance to get the loot, none of this 1% chance to get a decor bag

[mossy mica]

Another person in the Underground offered me their spot when this chaos ensued. I thanked them, but delined because that whole situation just irked my soul. I didn't even want to be there.

[true pond]

Tbh I got like 2 decor items today and then a plush? I guess it’s still RNG

[swift token]

RNG has been super kind to you today! Wow! Congrats ✨️

[signal kayak]

i don't do much cooking, so ingredients are worthless to me, fireworks are worthless to me, i have a passive garden that uses apples that i don't have to do anything to outside of harvesting and replanting the apples and i have 12 preserve jars that are actually overflowing with apple jam, i'm at cap money. i just want the dang decor, plush and zeki coin bags

[true pond]

It has, ty. 😌 Hoping for good odds for others as well!

[thorn cypress]

Its always the loud ones that stand out the most and shadow the nice player base. That was kind of them to offer and they serve as a reminder there are cooperative players around.

[jolly idol]

What is the new cap money, like 900k?

[true pond]

Ye like 999k

[thorn cypress]

Is it possible to send your RNG luck into the chat?

[true pond]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-flower-power-gif-8575927

Not according to channel permissions smh

[mossy mica]

Another person in the server told them "whoa, chill, you're not even part of the affected party."

[thorn cypress]

Applause to that person too!

I like this space of the internet, we can all share our hot pot battle wounds safely 😆

[mossy mica]

Can we just play hot pot together? AND DON'T BE TAKING THE FULL 30 SECONDS FOR EVERY TURN!

[thorn cypress]

Haha yes! But seriously, feel free to add me, IGN Anora Iadora

I'm not in game now but am a bit pretty much every day lol

[mossy mica]

Does your character have green sunglasses?

[thorn cypress]

Yes, and reddish hair

[mossy mica]

Poifect! Added. I'm getting some last minute playing time in because I'm about to move next week.

[thorn cypress]

Okay I will accept when I'm on next. Will probably be tomorrow! 😃

[sudden bay]

Why is everything timed between 6p-3am like flow groves, hotpot, the underground. Seems odd game developers have taken this route. Why aren't registers open 24/7

[lost narwhal]

Just wondering, what does everyone spend their money on late-game? I've reached the gold cap and my bank is full but I can't sell anything because the money will go to waste. What are y'all buying?

[signal kayak]

housing buildings are something, but if you don't want/need anymore (like myself) then the only thing i spend the gold on is zeki coins in the underground (i usually hit gold cap, then go and buy 10, play them, then work to get my money back up to cap, rinse and repeat)

[alpine hatch]

plushies and stuff at events, more buildings, Arcade machines and picture frames, stuff like that

yea zeki coins are also a big money hole

[sudden bay]

When that happens I start making apple seeds. and save them for updates.

[honest haven]

Question do we know what all the colors for zeki's underground prize wheel are???

[signal kayak]

i know the blue ones are ingredients, the red ones are fireworks and the green ones are gold, i think the brown is decor plush, but i've never gotten the other two colors

[alpine hatch]

how come i can place the bellflower fountain in the middle of building blocks but not the ancient rock garden? :c

[mossy mica]

🤎 Lucky Coin
💚 Gold
❤️ Fireworks
💜 Pirate decor
💙 The devil, aka ingredients
💛 Big plushie

[mossy mica]

That was a big concern with the introduction of flow groves. It was during Maji Market. 😅

[soft burrow]

your description of the ingredient bags as the devil is really endearing cause its such a mood

[iron echo]

Hey do any of yall play stardew? I have a question abt it but it relates to palia!

[soft burrow]

i'm a big stardew fan!

[iron echo]

Cool hiii so, I was wondering, I know that stardew is similar to palia in the sense that you build relationships with NPC, does your relationship max out with that game as well? I know they’re likely still working on adding next levels to some of them, but I was curious if a game with a similar mechanic does anything to encourage you to continue talking to them even after you’ve maxed out your relationship level

I was just thinking about it and hoping they make some sort of incentive to continue talking to them all, I’ve maxed out a few and now I’m like errr I don’t have a reason to talk to them anymore lol but idk if that’s just the norm with that kind of game

[soft burrow]

if i remember correctly, stardew has a decay system for relationships that incentivises you to keep talking to the villagers to keep your friendships alive whereas palia doesn't have that

[fiery perch]

Your relationship does eventually max out in Stardew! But, what's a bit different (imo) compared to stardew and palia, is that it takes longer in stardew (by a bit) compared to palia

I think Stardew has a relationship/friendship decay too!

[iron echo]

Oooo okay that’s very interesting

[soft burrow]

i think stardew is a lot more forgiving with gifting since it doesn't rely on an IRL clock

[fiery perch]

this too honestly, i think haha

I like how stardews is though too cuz it feels more progression-based compared to palia

Well.. with some of the people in town anyways lol

[iron echo]

I’ve played like nonstop for 3 weeks and I honestly think I’m almost done with most of the NPC quests already 😭

[soft burrow]

i think it also helps that stardew has the 10 levels of friendship whereas palia isn't' that evolved yet

[iron echo]

Oo okay so maybe that’s something that will be coming too

[soft burrow]

well i think with how they've been slowly releasing level 5 friendships, that the devs have plans for more friendship levels/quests 😄

[iron echo]

Ah okay I didn’t know about that! I still love the heck out of this game but I was just wondering ty 🙂

[fiery perch]

True! I just feel like it's more 'natural' in stardew tbh, unelss youre really focusing on it (like minmax/speed run wise 😂 )

[soft burrow]

no problem!! never be afraid to ask questions about the game here 😄

[fiery perch]

I think the only thing that confused me when I first started with Palia, is the weekly wants and asking people. Because i never realized at first they would give the wants to other villagers and not their own sometimes

[soft burrow]

the wants for other villagers thing tripped me up at first too but it's actually pretty natural if you think about it. like i've totally told people what my boyfriend wants for his birthday before so they could have gift ideas

[fiery perch]

Yeah! I just think it could of been explained a bit better in game, in a sense. Like a tip or something that pops up like, "Hey! Don't forget to ask for weekly wants-- they may reveal something about someone else in town! 👀 " (or .. something along those lines 😂 ) .. and of course, only at first when youre just starting lmao, it'd be annoying seeing that constantly unless youre opting in for that or it's in a little "tip/tutorial book"

idk if it says that during loading screens, cuz honestly i rarely read those oops

[soft burrow]

i don't think it says it in any of the loading screens LOL

[fiery perch]

I didnt think so either LMAO the most i remember seeing on loading screens is something about skills or fishing in specific 😂

[iron echo]

I did sooooo much googling and reddit searching when I first started 😭

[soft burrow]

oh mood lol

[fiery perch]

Yeeep. It's why I think having a little handbook that they can give you in-game, showing little prompts/tutorials/tips that you unlocked while playing (like, learning about weekly wants the first time, skill tips, etc), could be nice. esp to go back to, esp for those who might be taking a break and are coming back to the game.

it's pretty easy to get overwhelmed i feel like, if youre just starting. this goes for like... a majority of games imo tbh

[marble girder]

Ohh this is a nice idea.

[mossy mica]

It is the bane of my existence. I'm also realising on PC, the brown heart looks like a faded orange. I typed that message on my phone, and it is very much brown on iPhone.

[soft burrow]

that must be incredibly annoying then: thinking you got a nice item and instead it's just nothing

[chilly lily]

When can we get separate farm storage for seeds and vegetables

[ebon fractal]

Any possibility of having different body types? I was so sad to see there were only two :(

[floral hamlet]

Was reading the above discussion about NPCs and dialogue.

From a narrative design perspective, what differentiates Palia from a lot of other farm sims / crafting MMOs I've played is its dynamic dialogue.

The 4 elemental choices players are given when responding to NPCs have far more flavour in them, and in fact, remind me of the dialogue trees/wheels in more narrative-driven RPGs like Mass Effect.

There's also clearly a far deeper level of worldbuilding and hidden/unlocked lore. We see hints of this not just in the dialogue, but in item descriptions, inscriptions on statues etc.

MMOs aside (since most of them aren't all that cozy in my opinion), when we compare Palia to farm sims like Stardew, Harvest Moon, Sun Haven, Moonstone Island, and more recently, Fae Farm and Coral Island, the dialogue between players and NPCs is far superior.

Even for Dreamlight Valley, in which Disney has a ton of lore and worldbuilding done, the dialogue options aren't as varied or flavourful.

Hopefully, with further development, we get to experience even more of this.

[finite shore]

Is asking for cards you need cheating, in hotpot? Yes or no?

[glacial drift]

Like, cheating as in a reportable offense, or just like in the spirit of it?

[finite shore]

Just in general.

[soft burrow]

depends on the group imo, because ive played with groups where we've coordinated cards to try and get the most points

[finite shore]

A group of 4 makes sense for that. But if it’s not all 4 it doesn’t seem fair.

[flint igloo]

If you are playing with a group that wants to do that no problem. But if one or two are left out then I wouldn’t

[finite shore]

I agree with that

If it’s not cheating then what is it called

[flint igloo]

It’s just a way for some to play.

[finite shore]

Not if it’s all 4 is what I’m asking

[flint igloo]

If that’s what makes that group of 4 happy the so be it. Not how I want to play but to each their own. If someone is playing at a table where that is happening they can always switch tables so no harm

[finite shore]

Because typically it’s just 1 person or maybe 2 “trading” cards and I asked someone to “stop cheating” and she went off on me.

[flint igloo]

Not worth fighting over. Switch to a different server and find other people to play with. Have fun and don’t let them bother you

Ps. Love your name

[finite shore]

No cause what’s bothering me me now is knowing if it’s cheating to ask for cards without being in a group for it

Ps thanks

[flint igloo]

I don’t think so honestly. Everyone plays the game their own way.

Some just want it done as quickly as possible to earn as many coins as possible. Others like the competitive aspect.

I play mahjong irl competitively so I like that aspect of it.

[finite shore]

Playing hotpot in real life with asking for cards would be weird, no?

[flint igloo]

Can you imagine that. lol

[finite shore]

That’s what I’m sayinnggg

[glacial drift]

If I was trying to cram as many rounds into 15 min as possible, yes I could see it

[wise pawn]

In Stardew when you reach level ten with villagers, your friendship doesn't decay any more. Also, there aren't many dialogues. I'm married to seb and he says the same ~3 things every day, but i love him anyway. There are lots of mods though, to give you more dialogues and stuff

[finite shore]

Alright then that’s like 4 against 1 so I’ll just RIP

[flint igloo]

Choose fun and happiness and ignore the rest

[finite shore]

Thanks lynx

[hoary prawn]

People can ask for cards in hot pot but others have no obligation to give it, unless they return the favour thru collaboration.

[flint igloo]

I’ve asked for a lobster dinner in hot pot but still haven’t received it

[left harness]

I wish we could place star quality preserves... i want to fill my cupboards with applesauce

[sudden bay]

I don't think it's cheating but people make up their own rules and others seem to run with it. like waiting till at least 3am to chop the flow grove. There is no rule that says you have to do this but if you don't people get angry. Is it fair if one person keeps asking for the last card and always gets it making them get double the coins? No but what can you do? Again, a poor design from S6 putting a time limit on hotpot makes people resort to these measures. If they had 7 tables making it possible for the whole server to play if they want that would alleviate most of the in-game fighting. I agree that you should choose fun and happiness but the ones that want to play fast should be switching servers not the ones that are playing the game correctly. My thoughts at least.

[earnest stone]

The time limit for hot pot is sad since i have to decide if i want flow or the hotpot

[wispy lance]

Yeah I know 😅. You could go do a bit of hot pot, and then teleport when the grove spawns.

I was having this exact same problems when the groves just came out and we had maji market.

There is also no hurry for any of these as they won't go away 😁

[wispy lance]

I usually tag the trees and then go around and do other stuff. Also the "rule with 3am" is so that everyone gets there. I usually just like to ask is there someone still on they're way, if no answer we chop.

The hot pot thing you could also ask for the last card if you end up in such a party. If the game ends faster you get more coins. Instead of everyone waiting for their last card. At least that's my opinion.

[bronze garnet]

Is it such a NA Server thing? In Europe I don’t encounter trouble like that, I usually have to ask multiple times and wait long for at least one person to come and help me chop a flow tree 🤔

[lucid hornet]

Single tree? Yeah that got way worse than before, thanks to the grove and flow tree seeds a single tree got quite uninteresting for many players.

Grove on the other hand works the same in EU, whoever finds it calls it out; chop between 2:30-3am.

[bronze garnet]

Good to know!

[rustic oyster]

I have so much of flow-infused wood and planks. I have to start crafting more furniture or something 😄

[wispy lance]

Depending the time I'm asking usually. But most of the time someone comes along. Germans are quite active XD.

[mossy mica]

I’ve never even heard of this, and knowing that people are doing that makes me not want to play even more. 😟

[brave remnant]

Not cheating. Gets the game done faster. People make games go 12 or more rounds, waiting for cards. You waiting that long to maybe win 2 coins. Or in that time, you could lose 2-3 times and end up with the same amount or more coins.

[mossy mica]

I have a ton of flow wood/planks, so I don’t need the flow groves. If I’m in Bahari, especially very close to the grove, I’ll go. It spawns legendary/epic bugs at the beginning of the grove oftentimes. That’s how I wound up with 9 rainbow tipped butterflies.

[brave remnant]

People are doing it to min/max coins. Not to always win

[warm mountain]

i just had a thought for game mechanics. i would love to be able to bank some of my coin to store for things im saving for but still want to like shop at zekis underground.. or see how much i get in hotpot winnings.

[mossy mica]

Not everyone likes to play that way, and this comes from someone who plays quickly. I don’t need a million seconds to go through my own round. I know what I want/need.

Especially with strangers.

[brave remnant]

It’s not about you taking too long though. The problem is that we are going 12 or more rounds, because people are all trying to get the same piece. That’s what is wasting the time. So everyone is waiting and ends up with just 1 coin. Had we done 3 games at 4 rounds, I could have made 3 coins, in that same time!

[mossy mica]

I get that. My point still stands, and there have been MANY rounds where someone wins by round 5-7. There’s no “right” way to play hotpot, and all these new stipulations that people are coming up with is leaving a sour taste in many player’s mouths.

[lyric night]

I like that ppl bring back the cooperative play into hotpot
S6 just failed at delivering an enjoyable hotpot experience to the underground

[calm gale]

To each their own. If you don't like it you can go to a dif table or server hop. I'm not a huge fan of people who take the whole 30seconds to do their turn. Sometimes o just deal with, other times i move on.

[brave remnant]

S6 would be to blame though. They add very little content. Then they add a specific decoration set, behind a game that we only have 15 minutes per hour to play. To obtain in a small percentage.

I’ve done about 150 spins, since they added it. I’ve ended up with very little decorations. The other day I spent 15 hours straight, chilling in underground. 54 spins and not a single decoration.

[wispy lance]

I don't understand what's the hurry!?

Why people want everything at once is beyond my understanding.

[lyric night]

bcs they hate hotpot, but just want the furniture so they want to have it finished quickly so they never need to touch it again

[calm gale]

Yea we got all the time in the world.

[brave remnant]

Not everyone has time and not everyone enjoys hotpot

[wispy lance]

You have to play the game, enjoy content, take your time. Idk is we had everything at once we would complain there's nothing else to do 🤣

[brave remnant]

Also keep in mind that some people have been around for almost a year now. There’s not going to be much else, for them to do….

[icy creek]

I enjoy hotpot, I have no quest, and I am pretty stacked on all things (my inventory is close to full) so I like going there and playing hotpot. I ignore chat 90% of the time and just play.

[mossy mica]

I also do not like when people take the full 30 seconds, but people are disabled; people are learning; people are LITERALLY crashing, but the game hasn’t updated.

I think the problem that I’m seeing is the “if you don’t play my way, you’re wrong” attitude. We are all over the world. Tone of text and intention is not always clear. Be kind

[wispy lance]

Well unless you know tomorrow is your last day on earth. I think we do have the time 😅.

I play hot pot when ever I feel like it. Have no plush only 1 decor item. I want them all and I want more than one, but I will take my time and enjoy the game 😁

[mossy mica]

I, too, ignore it….until I see my name, even when minding my business.

[brave remnant]

I was commenting on the aspect of people thinking it’s cheating, that some people get together and call out cards needed, to end the game faster.

[mossy mica]

Oh, that prize wheel hates me. I just want the decor and plushies.

[wispy lance]

This would be exactly wat keli was saying. "If you don't play my way it's not good"

[calm gale]

Mmmm, if i run into a situation that bugs me i just exit. Nō need to say anything. Cause yep......100s of reasons why someone maybe be slow and thats fine. I can not like it but im also am adult and capable of just removing myself. Theres no need to complain.

[icy creek]

That’s me, I’m currently working on growing a forest on one of my plots, so I like going and playing hotpot while I wait for 6 am to come around to water my trees. lol

[mossy mica]

Me saying that wasn’t directed at @brave remnant
It was a general consensus from my experience IN game and server discussions.

[wispy lance]

I know it wasn't directed at him. I was stating, that situation would be an example to what you said. ☺️

Should have used the word example earlier 😅

[mossy mica]

I don’t know if you’re insinuating I don’t do that…or if you’re just stating that’s what you do.

Because I DO remove myself in situations that I don’t care for. I’m a grown woman, and don’t fight with folks online.

[calm gale]

Tbf kinda hard to cheat when theres no rules besides waiting your turn. The game just says what you need to win. How you play is just a strategy.

[brave remnant]

I so far myself, haven’t seen anyone telling people that they have to play that way. Usually when I’ve seen it done, we’re in a group and we as a group agree to play that way. Of course anybody should play the way they want to! I was just commenting on the people who feel it’s cheating. Definitely wrong if someone is telling you that you have to play that way.

[calm gale]

Im saying what I do.

[wispy lance]

Why would table 1 care wat table 2 own "rules" are.

It's not like each table competes with each other.

[brave remnant]

Adding the wheel made hotpot worth doing, for people who don’t care to do it. Though people who enjoy just playing hotpot, kind of got screwed.

[wispy lance]

I don't understand society sometimes. Im an oddball 😅😅😅

[calm gale]

Me too. For both things

[brave remnant]

I personally just play. I go with the flow of the people I’m playing with, on that table

[mossy mica]

I’m AuDHD…I’m just trying to vibe.

[wispy lance]

Oh! I see. I can find an easy solution to that though. If you want to play hot pot just for the fun of the game make a community with that in mind and play with other people that play for the same reasons as you.

[brave remnant]

Most definitely. Honestly they need to add it to player homes, for people who just enjoy playing.

[wispy lance]

Or zeki should have private rooms. That would be more fun 😊

A door that only the perty leader can enter and you get your own table for 4. And it will create a separate room for each party leader that decided to enter. (Like a dungeon where each party gets it's own instance)

[brave remnant]

Locking specific stuff in that wheel is more the issue I think. It made hotpot kind of a necessity to do. It doesn’t force people to play. Though if you want that specific decoration, you do have to play

[mossy mica]

I’m more irritated at folks trying to “reserve” tables, but to each their own. Yes, you can server hop. However, who’s to say people in multiple servers aren’t doing the same thing. I still think this is a cozy game, and I love it. However, putting highly sought out items behind a mini ‘in-game’ game wasn’t the best move. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[brave remnant]

When they added that tower, they didn’t add unique rewards. That’s because they didn’t want people to have to feel like doing it, if they don’t want to.

[mossy mica]

Oh, I hate The Tower. 🤣

[wispy lance]

Yes, I was also hoping for an alternative way. For example by fishing at zeki's underground you would get a special chest.

I'm pretty shure s6 said " the wheel is currently the only way to obtain the furniture" "currently" implanting that there might be other ways in the future.

[brave remnant]

I can’t do that tower. I’d have to buy a new keyboard, frequently! 😂

[wispy lance]

Xd

[mossy mica]

It is infuriating.

[wispy lance]

I did it twice. Tried it again recently and failed just a bit at the top. And failed to get back to the safe spot.

[brave remnant]

So I was glad that they didn’t add anything, that made me feel like I had to do it

[mossy mica]

I’m on NA servers, and I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t care for flow trees anymore, outside of groves. People are still grinding for plushies from bug catching/hunting, or trying to get XP for growable furniture.

Even with an exquisite axe, which I have, I cannot cut down the largest size flow tree alone. It regains too quickly, even when I chop it at the fastest speed. Luckily, I’m not hurting for flow wood, so I’ve left a few before because no one came to help. The ones I can cut solo, I will, if no one comes after me calling it.

I hope we can have a trading system one day for furniture/plushies. The ladybug, beetle, and banded muujin plushies elude me. Others have like 12 each. 🤣

[brave remnant]

I chop flow trees/groves here and there. I and I’m sure others, just don’t have a need to do it anymore. I have like 1200 boards in storage. I’m over 50 in that skill. I more so just do groves, for the weekly medals and then stop for the rest of the week.

I’ve noticed that more and more people just aren’t calling them out anymore tbh.

That or not waiting until a decent time for people

[mossy mica]

Now that they’ve lowered the amount of flow planks for Emberborn, Bellflower, Moonstruck, and Dragontide furniture, I have more than enough planks. Sometimes, I find myself crafting things to reduce storage space since furniture doesn’t count.

[brave remnant]

Same here

On top of just crafting for the weekly medals. I have sooooo much extra furniture!

[mossy mica]

Once they up the decor limit, it’ll be worth it.

[brave remnant]

Sadly, I think it will be quite awhile, before they can up us

[mossy mica]

While I have multiple plots, I’d like to have one specific plot that has EVERYTHING. It’d be my dream (actual dream, COUGHTISHCOUGH) home. Alas, I’d go over the limit quickly.

[brave remnant]

I have about that now… soon though, I won’t.

Especially when they start adding more types of 2nd stories

[stuck oar]

Random Question:
What tag have people been using to submit "Prize Wheel" feedback?

Asking for a Tiny friend

[amber turret]

Wouldn't it be under Game Events? Since Black Market opens at the same time Maji Market would?

[stuck oar]

I'm probably just going to copy & paste my response to all relevant topics:
● Accessibility {it's completely inaccessible to anyone that doesn't "no life" the game.}
● Decor & Furniture {It's the umpteenth decor set that is blockaded behind not 1 but 2 layers of RNG - & we don't even get recipes for our trouble)
● Social Systems {because people are forced to play hot pot}

Because it's taken me almost a week & a half (approximately 10 days) of slamming my head against a hotpot table to get 1 Pirate decor

& I've had reports of people spinning the wheel 50 times & not getting a single piece.

Then I've seen reports of people getting multiple decor & they all be duplicates

& I swear to dear tiny me - if anyone mentions game longevity ✋ I'll tell you where to go & even give you a map with instructions on how to get there

It's a bad system - that should have been vetted out of existence before resources were ever devoted to developing it.

But as always
these are just the rantings of
a Tiny Dragon that has Titanic Dreams for Palia

[amber turret]

Hey, everyone's got an opinion. If that's how you feel, roll with the tide 🙂

I can't even imagine what Maji Market is going to look like now.. or if it'll even come back. If they just keep taking stuff from MM and add it to Zeki's Market, what's the point of it?

[lyric night]

they said late summer early fall

[mossy mica]

I put mine under Game Events. In my feedback, I even specified in the first sentence that I was unsure if I used the correct category…and apologised for it. 😅

[stuck oar]

The OG Maji-market launched on August 29th - but that was when they were doing bi-weekly patches.

So going off their new schedule it will most likely be in the August or September patch.

[stuck oar]

The name of that tag is a tad misleading - When they launched it I'm pretty sure it originally mentioned that it was in regards to "Limited Time Events" Like the: Magi-Market, Winterlights Festival, & Lunar Magi-Market.

[dry swift]

I have a confession to make. I request palium bars at least once a day because I can't be bothered to go mine them myself xD

Sorry to anyone out there that actually needs palium for tools/equipment. I have a furniture making problem.

[honest kelp]

Is there a problem going on with requesting items? The button is available but the request won’t go through

[loud smelt]

I’ve have that happen a few times(switch user) but usually I just wait a few minutes and then it randomly works??

[honest kelp]

I think it has to do with the time syncing

[loud smelt]

Maybe, I just know I usually wait and then poof it works lol

[sour galleon]

Has anyone noticed by the fishermen's lagoon there are those two stalls by the path leading from town, and in one of them is a fish statue and the other one has a picture of a type of fish? Right now the fish looks to be a calico koi, but I swear it was a different one last time I paid attention to it.

[swift token]

I've never gone inside them! 😯

Will definitely check it out today!

[sour galleon]

Its not super inside they are just visible. I feel like in the next few updates they might add to it. I went and caught a calico to just see if it was like a secret mission to place it in front of the picture but nothing happened. I am going to pay attention though and see if the picture will change

[late ridge]

What is the mechanics behind fertilizer retention?

[sour galleon]

I think it stays for about four harvests from single harvest plants, and two worth of tomatoes seeds ish? They honestly last a good while

[late ridge]

On one of my old fields I had to reapply fertilizers (the green leaf kind from byproduct of making worms) to just some specific tiles everyday

[swift token]

If you'd like more info, https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1160984775025250364 will surely know all about it ^_^

[oak siren]

and alot of people started playing again and even bought the new expansion simply because the game added mulan in the base game.

[sudden bay]

Sure, but Palia doesn't really have any beloved characters people know about that would make them come back just for that.

[oak siren]

i mean...if they made Ashura romanceable i would be there lol

oh and mounts.

ohhh or if they decided to sell like hats or clothing peices separately or even if they separated shoes from pants!

[leaden bolt]

This is redemption for me opening 100+ bags and getting three pirate wall decor items

[modern rock]

ooh i'm jealous! i want that plush so bad, he's so scrungly

[dire kraken]

me too, it reminds me of my teddy bear, they both are very floppy

[distant mason]

I love himmm he’s SO scrungly. I put him on my bed 🫶

[main nexus]

I dunno if am the only one, but I am used to pressing the same button to close the map that opens it, and because of that, I always open the store after looking at the map to find something or where i am, and go to close it.

[rare pine]

I do this too. I'm gamer-brained and in every other game I've played you open and close the map with the same button. Having it lead to the cash store feels kinda malicious and I've always wondered if it's like that on purpose

[torpid pollen]

wait u cant close the map by hitting m twice?

[rare pine]

Idk. But on Switch it's the (-) button to open the map, but if you press it again, it takes you to the cash store.

[torpid pollen]

oh thats gross

[main nexus]

its like on PC, but am using a controller

[main nexus]

looks like pressing M twice will get you in and out of the map. just wish they did the same for controllers

[summer dew]

Just noticed this, especially during peak NA times. No one helping with FT, no one calling out pal ores. 😞

And spooking all the animals to boot.

[oak siren]

it is too much work to call out every pal i see, besides i don't even hit pal or flow anymore because i have so much. i do flare the big ones

i imagine many others are in the same position, especially long time players.

[summer dew]

All you need to do is call out large pals, or at least flare them, it's not really hard.

Yeah, hot pot has it's own can of worms, but S6 needs to implement that better.

And I always call groves, actively seeking them out at midnight. I don't know, I like to be helpful. 🤷‍♀️

[fast scarab]

is it posible to change my characters name?

[oak siren]

i play the game the way i like. i feel frustrated having to stop a hunt or pause what i am doing to call out every flow or pal i see unless that is what i am focusing on. i am sorry not being the eyes and ears of a server is a bad experience for someone else but having to do it every time is a bad experience for me. if you want to request some flow and palium though i don't mind handing it out.

[fast scarab]

ah ok ty. is there a link for them?

[opal cypress]

Here's a link to the Player Support Site: http://support.palia.com/

[torpid pollen]

i do not bother calling stuff out cause the hot pot drama made me realize a lot of the comunity seems rly entitled

so i want to minimize possibly running into those ppl as much as i can while still enjoy playing

ya i need to turn my chat off sometime

[summer dew]

Unfortunate.

[oak siren]

i have not even played hot pot lol but the few times i did i didn't think it was bad, just a normal hot pot game? i really hope they can get communities up and running so we can have community servers/instances and play with like minded people. i was in a comunity but they are never active

[torpid pollen]

hot pot itself isnt too bad rly but running into entitled randoms is. i wish they just give us hot pot for our homes to play with and it was heavy request but they completely ignored it in its entirety

yeah the wheel has lines as if we are in kindergarden... it is not good game design tbh. i want to spin and leave, not sit until underground close and have to come back to deal with the same all over again...

[oak siren]

it is annoying when someone spins the wheel 100x in a row and you are just waiting your turn with your two measly coins

[summer dew]

I just wait and hold my coins, no rush to get plushies. And, for what it's worth, I remember waiting in line for a questgiver in Everquest, where only one person could activate a quest at a time. We just sit and chat, nbfd.

[dry swift]

Agreed. Hot pot for an exclusive furniture set tied to a gacha wheel is pretty bad design; but S6 has shown that they don't have a good grasp of how game systems are supposed to work. 🤷 I guess we just list our feedback here and on the forms and hope they listen.

[torpid pollen]

i bet it is really requested but s6 will not put it in cause it lets cliques run everything and they love cliques a lot for some reason

i do not want to rush either but i do not want to deal with entitled ppl either

[oak siren]

i feel like the pirate stuff should have been fished out and hot pot should just have coins or food related prizes or even zeki coins

[summer dew]

Word. How does pirate themed furni fit in with the hotpot? 😆

[dry swift]

Every day I play hot pot and get total garbage from spinning the wheel or spend 100k+ gold on Zeki coins and get a cyl plushie or normal seeds is a day I get closer to making Runescape my main game again lol

[torpid pollen]

i will block ppl who try to reserve a in game seat that will be closed at 3am and wont even be active til night again n such... its pointless to reverse seats

[oak siren]

fr. like i would love to play hot pot and get a bowl of soup to fuel my focus lol

[mortal depot]

does anyone know if the devs are gonna expand the stack limit or if thats even possible

[oak siren]

lol i block so many people. it is easier and more peaceful. especially during the palium camps

[dry swift]

I like the idea of pirate furniture being a rare reward from fishing. It should just behave like other furniture sets anyways and unlock more pieces as you make them.

[summer dew]

I think that is by design. I just want the Iron Storage Chests to be larger. 10k items? Are you kitten me?

[dry swift]

I guess part of the reason why this update felt so rushed was maybe the devs were REALLY looking to seal the deal with Daybreak and needed to boost player numbers.

[torpid pollen]

yeah. i wish we could just get furniture recipe instead of force to fish all the time...

[oak siren]

now that they lowered the price of the iron chests maybe they can give us gold and silver chests?

[mortal depot]

awwww but its limiting my creativity : (

[oak siren]

to me it makes sense why so much of this update was comunity based. like bug-a-palooza and the new party rewards. higher player counts to seal the deal idk

[dry swift]

I'm not sure why we haven't gotten a silver/gold/palium chest yet to be honest. It's not like it would require much effort other than reskinning the iron chest with a different metal tint and throwing the blueprint in Tish's shop for say... 300k gold lol

[torpid pollen]

yeah. but they dont want ppl to horde stuff ig. its weird

i wish s6 would liten to feedback that matters and helps the game instead of random and fluff stuff

[dry swift]

More bad design decisions lol. Why prevent players from hoarding when there is no economy?

If I want to have 100k corn in my storage let me have 100k corn in my storage lmao

[summer dew]

Give us produce silos!

[mortal depot]

yes thats such a good idea

[dry swift]

If the next update is "We added x new pet to the shop and 2 more premium outfits! Also, we found something else to monetize. Oh you wanted more main quest/skills/maps/actual featuers? Oops! Forgot to make the game while we were working on the store." than that should be enough writing on the wall.

Darn it! I look at this chat for 1 minute and you all got me fired up again LOL

[summer dew]

Sorry, I just really love the game and hate to see things like this happen.

[dry swift]

ME too. It's hard to be a part of a community that's genuinely passionate for the game when the people in charge of making the game refuse to have a conversation with you.

I'm so sick of their social feed just being a hype man for their dumb shop.

[mortal depot]

https://tenor.com/view/time-for-a-revolution-skeletor-masters-of-the-universe-revolution-it's-time-for-a-revolt-masters-of-the-universe-gif-7780071769374592623

[torpid pollen]

its hard to be in this discord. i love the game but passion gets confused for hating the game so much here its upsetting

[summer dew]

Yeah, seeing Deybreak picking up S6 spooked me. They ruined EQ and a few other titles for me, so I am sketch af. 😞

[dry swift]

It's just wild how S6 makes all these major decisions for their company. No AMA, no FAQs, not even an update on the discord from someone who actually works for S6. Nothing.

[summer dew]

Again, I apologize. ❤️

Have a goodnight folks.

[dry swift]

You too Airica 🙂 sleep well!

[mortal depot]

[dry swift]

I figure the best thing I can do right now and that everyone in here can do is refuse to spend money on the premium shop until they release a real update with some meat on it.

If Daybreak sees a dip in premium shop purchases, they'll have to force S6 to do something one way or another.

[oak siren]

it isn't even hoarding, i don't have enough chest space to hold basic crafting needs.

[dry swift]

I have like 300 of each basic resource and 100 of each crop and even then I'm stretching my chest's limits lol

[oak siren]

lol ok maybe i am hoarding. i like my things

[dry swift]

Also, with the gold cap increased, they have all the reason now to add a palium chest for something like 500k gold to get 50k slots.

[oak siren]

they closed free realms and i am still salty about it

[dry swift]

I've never heard of Free Realms. Was it very similar to Palia?

Also definitely heard of EQ because that's like the OG of MMO's lol.

[oak siren]

kind of but not. there was PVP and PVE aspects to it without the gore. you could take up different jobs and be a pixie or human. it had a monthly memership though and f2p levels were capped. i would say it had the palia vision of a cozy open world enviroment with a 2009 idea of what that looked like. it didn't make enough money

[dry swift]

I think Palia has the founation built to make it a leader in cozy MMO's. I think there were just a lot of poor decisions made during its development that have left it in the state it's in now. It can probably be saved but only if all of S6's old management is fired immediately and they get someone with the game's best interests in charge.

[oak siren]

it doesn't really have much time to make up for it's mistakes though because the release of several other cozy online games are fast approaching. immediate, Loftia opens alpha this year and fluffnest is set to open in beta.

and between those releases players will drop their palia play time for a bit to play the huge coral island update coming out soon

[dry swift]

...do these games have good house customization and what's their monetization?

[fiery perch]

Loftia at least looks promising. I'd have to re-check how they view monetization, cuz i cant remember. but Loftia has also been very understanding and working on accessibility when people talk about it, at least, too. I'm looking forward to seeing how alpha is.

[oak siren]

Loftia is pay to play but you pay once to access the game. the upkeep of the servers and such will be in exclusive paid outfits

[dry swift]

My first glimpse of it, the artstyle is not what I was expecting lol. Looks cute though. Almost like an Animal Crossing clone.

[dry swift]

That's great. I'm glad someone at Qloud had some common sense lol

[fiery perch]

Yeah, the art style isnt my fav, personally, but I'm looking forward to how the gameplay will be. It's at least on my radar!

[floral hamlet]

I'm waiting for the Coral Island update too. I actually stalled on Palia when it was released on Steam as I was going through Coral Island 1.0 during that period.

[dry swift]

Is coral island the one that's hexagonal?

[oak siren]

same and i love the openness of their team too, very similar to how the Corral Island team communicates. they just gave a dev update to talk about what they are working on and the CM/other teammates have social events. i was in a 'learn how to knit' event stage yesterday

[floral hamlet]

Hexagonal? I don't think so?

[fiery perch]

Coral island multiplayer update is what im waiting for. so ic an play it with friends

[floral hamlet]

But they are adding underwater homes and farms.

[dry swift]

There was some kind of open world sandbox game that had all hexagonal terrain, it was very interesting.

[oak siren]

same, i was busy Marrying alice lol

[hard coral]

not really the same vibe but i am waiting on more info on infinity nikki release

[floral hamlet]

Ooo, not sure! If you remember the name, let me know. Coral Island is more and advanced version of Stardew Valley.

[oak siren]

was that the one in Summer Game fest?

[floral hamlet]

I'd love to see this in Palia too, FYI. Haha.

[hard coral]

game fests my beloveds

[dry swift]

Yes I believe so. I saw some Twitch streamers playing it.

I'm a little bit behind the times when it comes to new games to be honest. Being a new dad will do that to you LOL

[soft burrow]

congrats on the little!

[hard coral]

honestly that can be a good thing for the wallet, there are so many now and it's overwhelming. but yeah, congrats :)

[dry swift]

Thanks! She turned 10 months old yesterday. 😁

[oak siren]

omg i am excited for tales of the shire!

[floral hamlet]

The issue with Coral Island for me is the room layout on the upper floors. I'm hoping it eventually gets fixed.

Palia's awesome in the way you can more freely customise rooms, but I'd love to have a proper upper floor and rooms that's NOT the grand harvest house. Heehee.

[floral hamlet]

ME TOO!!! Omgosh, so many good games coming out.

[dry swift]

I was honestly kind of excited for Guild Wars 2's Janthir Wilds update because of the housing customization... but then I remember it's a mostly combat-related game and they nerf every fun build that comes into the game xD

[oak siren]

i WAS excited for life by you and i am very upset it was canceled

[dry swift]

It's hard to justify a purchase for a new game nowadays when you're not sure if it will actually go somewhere or be another flavor of the month game or an outright scam :\

[oak siren]

if you buy a game for $50 and play it for 50 hours you got an hour of entertainment for $1. this is bad financial advice btw but what i live by

[floral hamlet]

Haha. This is the reason I picked up Dreamlight Valley. Regardless what folks say about Disney, they're unlikely to pull the plug on such a beloved game and ruin their reputation + IPs.

[dry swift]

That's fair enough. Usually that's my justification for picking up a game too. "Will I enjoy it for the first hour? What about the next 100?"

[oak siren]

at this point ekyrim has entertained my husband for a peny an hour lol especially when he learned you can play it on VR

[dry swift]

I sure do love my homestead in Skyrim. Crazy how much replayability that game has.

[floral hamlet]

One day you got to show us screenshots or a house tour, but we probably can't do it in this channel.

[dry swift]

Lol it's not that crazy. It's mostly just an alchemy lab with a little bling in it.

[oak siren]

the modding comunity has prolonged its life for sure.

[dry swift]

Also, I may or may not abuse a few bugs when I play Skyrim too xD

[hard coral]

auni is crying

[floral hamlet]

People say this and then we go in, and it's "WOW". 😆

[dry swift]

Not those kinds of bugs, just the clipping under the map and finding invisible chests or turning your horse into an elevator kind XD

I love when bugs become game features.

[dry swift]

I appreciate all the work modders and 3rd party plugin people do. It's because of them that my favorite game, OSRS, is so accessible for a casual like me.

[dry swift]

Walk into the underground. Instantly two people with ttv in their names are arguing xD I love this game.

[hard coral]

yikess

[soft burrow]

ttv??

[fiery perch]

ttv usually means theyre on twitch

[soft burrow]

ohhh i see. thanks!! i'm not familiar with that type of lingo so i appreciate the answer lol

[fiery perch]

hahaha, no worries

[dry swift]

Thank you for explaining!

[oak siren]

what were they arguing about?

[dry swift]

I guess it doesn't really matter. Something about internet clout and calling the other person a kid. The usual in MMOs.

[soft burrow]

internet clout in palia??? dang

[dry swift]

Gotta rep those pixels.

[soft burrow]

i'm too old to worry about that stuff LOL. i hope they realize that the game is more fun when you're not fighting

[dry swift]

You know, in all my years I learned some people are strange and enjoy arguing over nothing. It's why lawyers exist lol

What's everyone up to tonight?

[hard coral]

i was trying to catch the last bug i need but i'm being eluded so i'm currently sitting here sulking

[olive carbon]

Would you believe me if I told you I was arguing over nothing? /jest

[dry swift]

Which bug is it?

[hard coral]

rainbow tipped butterfly, but of course

[dry swift]

Whatever makes you happy xD

[dry swift]

Do you need it for a vault or just for the collection achievement

[hard coral]

just collection, but if it's in a bundle then i'll obviously hold on to it for that haha

[dry swift]

Do you know about the spawn at the top of pavel mines?

[hard coral]

spawn you say?

[olive carbon]

Server hopping and being the first at a grove is helpful too

[dry swift]

I'm not sure if they changed it, but it's highly likely to spawn at the top of pavel by the cliffside if you use a honey lure

[olive carbon]

Ope, an autobonk

[wide hound]

Skill issue?

[hard coral]

OHHH

[olive carbon]

I've only ever had 2 RTBs from any lure ever

[hard coral]

yeah I said it was probably a skeel izzue from myself because i'm never quick enough to the grove because i suck at navigating bahari lmao

[hard coral]

I have one lure left, I'll check it out soon thank you!

[dry swift]

I found having a buzzy jar helped a lot too because sometimes they rtb's blend in with the normieflies

I'd give you one of my starred ones... but, gifting starred items and such.

[hard coral]

Somebody that was on the server with me while I was whining gave me a spare lure and jar bless them so I've put them aside for when my friend can come help me

I had made a bunch but I am now out of gold, naturally

[soft burrow]

thats really sweet of them!!

[hard coral]

Right!! I already had them in my requests for when my friend got on to give me one and they had my back immediately :')

[dry swift]

Wholesome

[tacit crane]

if you want a bug hunting buddy, lmk! i’ve got a few lures and a lot of bug bombs haha

[mossy mica]

Sleep 🤣

[jovial stone]

hi, are there any hunting parties going on? i've been trying to get the new furniture to drop and get some plushies but no luck

[olive carbon]

You can try #1143270926394335282 to see what's active or you can try uaing the new feature in the party tab that allows you to check that box that says "looking for party" and it'll display a magnifying glass next to your name for other players to see to know you're looking to team up! Also there's servers floating around that have hunting parties pretty often, send me a DM if you'd like a suggestion for that!

[jovial stone]

i´ve tried the new feature but most people log off after only a few minutes. ill check the channel tho, thank u!

[hollow fox]

You can ask in here, or try #1143270926394335282

[mossy mica]

@amber pike This is much better. General chat is the land where the light doesn’t touch in Lion King.

[amber pike]

HA yeah I feel that way too but didn’t know this channel even existed lmao

I can’t stand tish bc of ||her constant toxic positivity and how she takes reth for granted and is so judgmental towards him even though he’s literally sacrificing everything and his reputation to keep her alive. I do think she has some character growth in the lvl 5 quest but. Sigh|| honestly maybe my least favorite character

[mossy mica]

I don’t think a lot of people do, considering the amount of nonsense that happens in general (I don’t even pay attention to it).

||I thought I was the only one annoyed by her toxic positivity. She thinks she’s the pillar of “good,” and looks down on others. I don’t dislike Reth, but he’s not a memorable character for me. I do appreciate what he does for Tish, but she’s just ungrateful, and I’m sure Kenyatta sees right through that. 😂||

[haughty kernel]

is there a limit on gifts you can give?

[fickle torrent]

Has anybody else experiensed more lag after the last patch? Does it help to have less stuff on the plot?

[rustic pollen]

The game has crashed for me SO many times, it’s lagging and glitching. Idk what’s going on but it’s not good

Yeah I’m on pc. I’ve been sending it off to the developers, I’m assuming that’s enough. Funny enough when I’m playing with friends, it crashes for everyone

I mean idk how you’d be able to help since it seems like an ingame issue esp if it happens to multiple people in different continents at the same time but sure

[fickle torrent]

I’m building a tiny house plot to see if the lag is less there 😉

[kind spruce]

Sometimes this game literally infuriates me to be honest, I love it most of the time, but some stuff is like

[wide moss]

Where would I post to ask if someone wants to have a cooking party with me? I’ve never done one and I barely have the growable furniture and need the cooking together achievement

[vagrant star]

#1143270926394335282
Check id:customize if you can't post there, you need the lfg party role.

[tall hollow]

Guys, i am hunting a specific bug, how i am supposed to make it respaw ? i need to clean the area right ?

[wraith gulch]

are you still able to build off the grid like you used to or did they patch this? I keep trying to do it with connecting blocks on my plot but it wont let me

[modern saddle]

418 Prize Wheel Coins spent total so far and here's my luck...

Bad RNG on top of bad RNG. Definite Magi mad.

[fair acorn]

When you're trying to build a massive ship out of building blocks, and you reach the dreadful 1000 block limit. Big sad.

[brisk spruce]

man, that looks like it would have turned out so cool, too. I'm sorry you hit the limit

[calm fiber]

Can someone tell me how to unlock the gazebo?

[fair acorn]

In the menu where you switch plots, you can buy more plots. After you buy enough plots, you unlock it, then you can buy them at the Town Hall.

[mossy mica]

The sad part is that doesn’t even look like 1k blocks.

[fair acorn]

Oh, it is. The small opening in the middle at the bottom, that's 1 person high.

[mossy mica]

I believe it. I just wish they upped the decor limit when they gave us blocks. It’s kind of hard to incorporate them how you want when we are still limited.

[fair acorn]

We all know why there are such limits.

[sonic imp]

is the Steam version of the game crashing for anyone else today? Normally I don't have an issue

[sudden bay]

I would assume it's because of the switch limitations?

[fair acorn]

Yup. Sadly so. Wish they would have waited for the Switch 2.

[trim wraith]

guys, where can i craft this?

[sharp palm]

You need to get the blueprints from Tish

[trim wraith]

i alrd get the blueprints

[sharp palm]

Then you just need to collect the supplies to make the items. I remember it took me awhile to get one of specialty items to build the last one

[swift token]

If you have the blueprints then you craft them at the crafting table, like we would with all the other furniture.

[midnight oak]

If you have trouble seeing them on your list, look at all craftables and check ones you haven’t made yet.

[eager island]

Join them together? Small boat..

[trim wraith]

Thanks!

[trim wraith]

Alrighteeyy

[sly glen]

Looking to join a community if anyone has one please DM me 🥹 active players please

[native topaz]

I can send you a DM

[true pond]

Wait but this is so good?????

Make a broken washed up ship

[wise anvil]

Honestly, these kinds of limits are what keep me hesitant to return to Palia :[
Nice boat btw! Absolutely epic!

[carmine thunder]

Whats the stance on using a mouse software to spamclick for the purpose of buying high amounts of butter and such at zeki's without getting carpol tunnel? Same for fertilising farmland to 99 without having to click 99x81 times

[trail cloud]

Just use software

[bright ledge]

how will they kno its not u getting urself carpeltunnel

[vivid gale]

Whats the best food to make for focus?

[bright ledge]

depends on your max focus ish

[arctic ledge]

I wish I could bring up old dialogue between characters. My memory is terribad and I want to quote them

[bright ledge]

ppl usually chili oil dumpling party for focus food

[vagrant star]

The wiki has at least many options, if you're looking for the english text, in case that helps.
Other than that, I 100% agree.

[arctic ledge]

||I'm hunting for the kenli dialogue that hints about his sister being interested in a certain someone||

[dry swift]

Good morning everyone! 🙂 idk why but the game wanted to remind me of what my name is so I don't forget everywhere I go.

Also, someone please take Eloisa to the hospital. Her legs are missing at the knee.

[boreal narwhal]

just out of curiosity, has the cross region play been figure out? there was some time when I couldn't play with NA people from EU

[lyric night]

yeah sometime in january, we can play cross region again

[boreal narwhal]

Ah nice

[gusty fossil]

There is actually a setting to enable this now. It seems to be a bit bugged and randomly displays your name even when off.

[dry swift]

I see xD Just when I thought I had caught every bug in the game, S6 continues to release more.

[gusty fossil]

Ha ha for some reason they never give us the kind of bugs we would like.

[woeful garnet]

idk. The Kitzu bug is still there, if you are into the things on its gift list. I kinda like that bug.

[true pond]

|| The bundle statue? ||What does it give?

[woeful garnet]

Yes to the spoiler. 😉

The 3 top tier arrows, Fine, Slow and Dispel. Meat, Fur, Hide, Mined gold, and Hot Pepper seeds.

[lyric night]

at this point its not even a bug anymore tbh, it became a feature
they can't change it bcs they will get a ton of "bugreports" from newer players

[gusty fossil]

Ahh good point

[lyric night]

fine arrows I guess but thats it

oh and hide

[woeful garnet]

Yes. Fine arrows. I couldn't think of the name, and I forgot the hide. I'll edit my response. Thanks. 🙂

[true pond]

What is it supposed to give you if that’s the bug?👀

[bright ledge]

the bug is it gives you every in game day youre online

i hope they never fix it bc im not done with bundle yet

[lyric night]

it's supposed to give u something only once a real life day at daily reset like the other 2 statues but instead gives it every ingameday

[woeful garnet]

👆

[true pond]

Oh👀👀

[polar elbow]

if anything I wish the silverwing nest would give something once every ingame day instead of once per real day
250 focus is barely anything by the time you get the nest to begin with >>

[woeful garnet]

True that. I save them up til I have a stack and use them to extend my focus when I'm not going to be out much longer and don't want to consume a food item.
On the down side, that takes up 3 storage spaces in the vault and another in your bag. 😦
It looks cool but it's my least favorite of the three.

The least they should do is give every colored egg a different value. I don't see the point in having 3 different if they are all worth the same thing.

[dry swift]

Or... Each egg has a 250g value. And it has the added bonus of you being able to gift it to a villager and each egg color corresponds with that villagers elemental alignment. i.e. You give Jel a blue egg and you get a high amount of friendship value that day. That way the eggs have a use in the mid-lategame and can still be sold if you're max friendship.

[slender crown]

It looks amazing!!!! I guess what you can do is get rid of the bottom most part and plant weedy looking flowers around the bottom so it looks like it's sticking out of the sand.

That might cut down on the 1000 builders parts

[fair acorn]

The plan is to actually put it in the water though. Here is a test image of that: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1182694850261430353/1259170654654042225/image.png?ex=668b5e4e&is=668a0cce&hm=c7a943ac725e8e99bf5e9882b168cb41ad012d143adcba71eec18106bbb1a788&

Which is also why a double bottom is needed. The other one is going to sit just above the water so that the hull goes into the water

[normal saddle]

Hold on, what about a double bottom?? Think I'm in the right discord lol

[dry swift]

I really hope S6 ups the building block limit and soon. Would love to see how this ends.

[hollow fox]

@jovial cloud This is my inspiration pic. One of these days I hope we can have fairy lights and glitter air like flow groves. I'll do one plot that's nothing but a fantasy forest. But for now, I grow tons of stuff and hoard :P

[jovial cloud]

omg yes, i really want them to double flower count. i experimented on switch and it ran just fine I think they could safely double it

[hollow fox]

My grow plot has reached it's flower limit. I looked around like "Really?" sigh :P 500 really isn't all that much. Not even space wise

[jovial cloud]

flowers also look better when in close bunches, aesthetically

[hollow fox]

nods

[vivid osprey]

I got a bug the other day where it immediately let me do Hekla's last friendship quest after finishing the one before it even tho I didn't have the bar filled up.

[inland robin]

hey does anyone know if there is a system to recycle furniture where instead of throwing an item out we can get some materials back?

[jovial cloud]

highly requested but not a feature

[dry swift]

You and probably 100 other people have suggested this great idea. But sadly atm no extra furniture is just garbola.

[jovial cloud]

they dont take up storage though so you can hoard them and maybe use it later

some people also have ikea plots, where they organize 1 of everything for collection's sake

[dry swift]

that's funny. I have level 5 friendship with Hekla and haven't even gotten the quest yet.

Unrelated to Palia, but while I was doing a little weeding outside I found out my tomato plant from last year is coming back strong. Can't complain about free tomatoes.

[vivid osprey]

I got your Hekla quest, maybe you’ll get it when I fill it up all the way, I’ll get workin on it. 😂

[dry swift]

I have the reward from the quest so maybe I finished it and got amnesia or something xD

[celest maple]

Happened to me also.

[sudden bay]

It's a bug. I got the reward after I talked to her one time for the level 5 friendship. I just kept going back to raise the bar because it looked weird not finished but finished.

[woeful garnet]

👆 ditto.

[dry swift]

Whack. lol

[sudden bay]

I don't see how it fits anything in the game really though. Odd friendship gift

[dry swift]

I honestly really liked it. Definitely could have been something from Flotsam/Rummage. You'd think for level 5 quests you'd get something awesome like... oh I don't know, a new arcade machine or something.

[vivid osprey]

That's what I'm doing too.

Also, for those who did the Hodari romance line.. is anyone else PO'd that the heart shaped quiche isn't star quality? Like why have such a cute item like that and not be able to display it??

[sudden bay]

It could have spun at least or something. Just like the well with no water. These are they types of things that make no sense to me.

[dry swift]

If every S6 patch that came out said "We added a different type of arcade machine with a new minigame." I'd be like "AWWWW HECK YES!"

[dry swift]

If you mean the one from Badruu's farming shop it does work. The hitbox is just janky

[vivid osprey]

The heart shaped quiche is something that REALLY needs to be rectified and I will DIE on that hill.

[sudden bay]

oh I know it "works" but ithere is no water showing IN it. I grew a flower in it so I pretend the water is underneath it.

[dry swift]

I think it depends on where you place it sadly. If you place it on vanilla grass, than it will show water. In a building/Pavillion or on building blocks. Nah lol 😦

[sudden bay]

Nor on the shipwrecked landscape

[dry swift]

Sheeeesh. We honestly need more water features in game. Let us put a big pond somewhere or something. I want to fish in a kilima courtyard.

[sudden bay]

I wanted grass and dirt patches that looked like it was part of the landscape.

[dry swift]

I want better light sources so I don't have to resort to putting building blocks in weird ways over pieces of furniture I want to stick out in a room.

[jovial cloud]

this is why im disgruntled over them accidentally "fixing" being able to float items into walls LOL I used to fill walls with lights so they'd still radiate light but not be in the way

[glossy sorrel]

Not sure if this has happened to others but as soon as i chopped a tree and a magic muujin try hoppin in it took me to the sky

[jovial cloud]

this is wonderful lol

[lyric night]

thats one of my favorite bugs

[jovial cloud]

my favorite bug is when there were no muujins

[polar elbow]

my favorite bug is... lemme find it...

#💬│palia-discussions message
this one lmao

[umbral lynx]

Faces not being fixed > all.... The haunting looks

[strong owl]

So now that Singularity 6 has become part of the Daybreak franchise, does this mean that in the near future all Palians will be required to purchase a monthly subscription? Daybreak is notorious for charging monthly subscriptions for gameplay on their games.

[polar elbow]

I imagine it will remain free to play, but I wouldn't be surprised to see an optional subscription at some point

[sudden bay]

I tend not to worry about things until they happen

[shadow cloud]

probably a suscription for a real good future feature

[jovial cloud]

if you stack 50 large fish, then glitch it onto another stack of 50 large fish, it's tall enough to glide into the cool off limits area in your home plot XD

[shadow cloud]

I was under the impression that they placed an invisible wall there

[jovial cloud]

there is indeed, but it's not forever tall lol

[shadow cloud]

ahhhh

[jovial cloud]

there used to be a way to shoot yourself off a rug into the stratosphere and that worked, but I think they fixed that one

[strong owl]

Of course most people wouldn't be concerned with such things. However, there are a few that would be. I for one would have a hard time accepting going to a subscription after playing the game for free for two years. Of course I have supported the Singularity company by purchasing clothing and items, but that was my choice. If Palia becomes a subscription only game, I for one will not be playing any more.

[jovial cloud]

I would expect them to try a battle pass sort of system before they ever think they need to try a subscription to play system

[sudden bay]

Ok but there is not much we can do about it right now. I will enjoy the game and should the game go to a subscription service I'll then decide if I want continue to play. Until then or we get more information it's really futile to worry about it. It's not that I'm not concerned, it's just that there is nothing I can do about it if they should choose that route.

It also depends on how much a subscription will cost. I played the sims online the whole time it was online and that had a monthly fee. This game compared to that is 100x better so I'll see how much it is.

[polar elbow]

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing a sub along the lines of "subscribe to unlock all premium cosmetics for the duration of your subscription" option

if you only care for one or two outfits, just buy those specifically and keep them permanently, if you want to try on all of them, you could go for the sub

[sudden bay]

If they do charge a subscription they are going to have to add a lot more content and up the MMO and community part of the game as well as add daily things you can do to earn rewards.

[jolly idol]

I wonder if Palia should just switch to a Guild Wars 2 model. Basically buy the game and get a lot out of that like cosmetics you can work for and content all unlocked (except for next expansion), then also have a store, and the store stuff isnt necessarily flashier than regular stuff, just different, but ppl still get it

If they go Dreamlight Valley route or subscription route I just wont be interested

[swift token]

Do we know why they decided to close it off instead of just removing the area?

[jovial cloud]

it is most likely a future planned area unreleased

but that's just a theory ✨

normally with future stuff you eventually have an update that forshadows it
like the bahari exit to your plot
in bahari they had the mine shaft appear but it was filled in with no use yet until they eventually oppened it

[tranquil nest]

GAME THEORY!!

[jovial cloud]

😉

[swift token]

Yeah, seems likely.

Maybe it'll be apart of 1.0 hopefully! ^_^

Feels like it's been there forever, lol.

[sudden bay]

People need to stop hoarding prize coins and then going down and spinning all at once. The RNG isn't any better if you do it like this, as we've seen from posts and it just holds people up that want to get on with what they are doing. Max should be 20 coins.

[lyric night]

I just roll during the day when nobody is there anyways

[jovial cloud]

it would be smarter to roll during the day, but this is a situation that is not the player's fault and more the game's fault
they should make it so this ISN'T a problem at all hopefully they change something about some of the hotpot and wheel stuff so it causes less issues for players who then get irritated at each other
it's supposed to be a chill game after all

[potent solstice]

Building is so awesome and absolutely frustrating. There are something that are so geared towards QoL for the player. And other things that feel like they are to just spite the player. It's mind boggling. This is more just a message for me to vent and admit I have RQ'd building for the night.

[jovial cloud]

yeah that's a valid opinion I relate

[fringe dome]

the dirty table stealers tick me off when they KNOW they table steal- LOLLLL hope im not alone

serv switching isnt hard T_T

[crude vapor]

How do you know they know they're stealing? I've been encountering a ton of problems where either I or other people are invisible. I was at a table and two other people thought we were full and we were naming off names and only to realize there were five people standing at the table.
My game then crashed and when I reloaded into a new server there was a really nasty conversation about somebody thinking somebody had stolen a seat and it was one of the most ridiculous things I've had to experience.

[nova zephyr]

hello! I am new to palia!

[mossy mica]

Also, you can server switch all you want, but can also be put in a full server where one person is SOL. Everyone is trying to get the coins for the prize wheel. Trying to “reserve” tables or throwing a fit when your spot is “stolen” is counterproductive and makes for an unpleasant experience for everyone around.

[jovial cloud]

yeah see above statement lol
it's not the player's fault
it's the game's design that makes this a problem
and there are remedies for the situation on their end that would be very easy to implement, and I hope they do

[mossy mica]

Of course. S6 could’ve absolutely put 7 hot pot tables and more prize wheels to alleviate the problem.

[glacial drift]

Let Full Metal Chappa give us coins and at least then odd man out has a way to earn them solo.

[mossy mica]

Last night I joined a server, and realised I was the 25th person, so I server hopped. Got into another server that appeared full, but I saw one table at 3/4, even though there were four bodies. Someone typed “we have an open spot,” but after the nonsense from a few nights ago, I didn’t even want to chance it. 😅

[polar elbow]

I definitely agree that the issues with hotpot and the wheel are entirely game design issues and not player issues
it... seems to be an unfortunate trend with palia tbh, it feels like a lot of design decisions for a lot of resources are directly responsible for friction between players

[rustic perch]

Hmm. I honestly thought the tables are first come first serve. I get that sometimes people want to play with their party or friends. The odds of getting a table consistently only for your own group are very low so sharing is the best option

[jovial cloud]

it's hard to say "it's the incompetence" without it sounding like an insult, I just genuinely believe they lack the knowledge and now also man power since they have so few employees left
part of the hopeium is that the acquisition will help

[jovial cloud]

at arcades i'm sure no one likes the guy who's always claiming the machine all day haha it is an understandable irk for both sides of the argument

[rustic perch]

Yeah. I see both sides lol but in the grand scheme I think we need to look out for each other and that means sharing so everyone can play

[jovial cloud]

in general people should at least try not to pick fights in game chat haha

[rustic perch]

Yep

[jovial cloud]

perfectly valid to FEEL irked, and you can complain to your friends in the privacy of your conversation

I don't know why people want to make their annoyance everyone elses problem sometimes

[rustic perch]

Agreed. Sometimes people don’t feel heard unless everyone hears though.

[jovial cloud]

that's a big thing on this server

[rustic perch]

Yeah 😦

[hoary prawn]

Sometimes table got stolen because of not focusing, for example checking the scores after each round or sidetracked. But the main issue is not enough tables. The other problem is people afk when playing hotpot, maybe someone in that group should call out in the game chat so others can “take” over. Also suggest to label the table like no. 1 to 5, if there’s a free spot, people can type like “We have free spot at table no.4.” so that others people no need to look around to find the table.

[jovial cloud]

there's a lot of suggestions I've seen
one of them is to have a slight glow if the table has a free spot
should be a good indicator

[dry swift]

Has anyone else's game crashed when starting a game of hot pot?

I'd rather not steal a spot. But it sucks when you're at a table and you crash and the new instance puts you at all full tables.

I genuinely do not get upset with people that steal tables. Yes, nobody likes getting their spot stolen. But some people also don't want to be there in the first place and it's a badly done forced interaction S6 has created.

[vital lintel]

When I see open slots, I usually wait for 2-3 seconds so that players are rendered and prior players can join right away so I was shocked when I joined, one person ranted on chat then seconds after all players on that table left the match, leaving me alone. It’s a realization that they probably thought I stole their spot when it’s unintentional. My friend and I had our spot stolen too but we have no choice but to look for another table or just wait for another night to grind it.

I just wish the developers can include a feature for hotpot that is invite-only if groups want to play on their own. But it should be on their own plot then since servers right now are bugging with a lot of people coming in.

[dry swift]

Someone in here posted the idea of making the tokens you get from hot pot able to just outright purchase the pirate furniture/plushies which I really liked. In a perfect world, they would just take plushies and pirate furniture off of the wheel table and add the plushies to Zeki Coins and the pirate furniture to fishing or as blueprints from Zeki's Underground store; but we know S6 would never do that because it would mean players would finish the furniture set faster.

That way players that wanted the furniture/plushies could get them in a reasonable amount of time, and players that are just there to play hot pot would eventually just be able to play mostly unbothered.

I like the idea of just giving us hot pot on our plots as well and allowing us to toggle public/private matches. Hot pot shouldn't be timegated in the first place anyways.

[fringe dome]

idk it seems like the friction is 100% made by the fact they dont account simple game mechanics. someone above mentioned it earlier and i totally agree. It feels like a broken record and hoping for a 1.0 built on a loooot of unfinished stuff is nerve racking. i hope they get these simple things right in future updates tho ofc. hoping they add more hot pot tables, too! it'll fix issues, but make more... considering how much it crashes PFT-

the active amount of players vs tables before was off too i think :c the first hot pot games

[harsh sedge]

I'm trying to do the masks quest and am stuck on trying to find the meaning. It says I need a key from Jina but I did the key quests already and she's not talking to me about keys anymore.

[modern rock]

you get the key by doing her lvl 3 friendship quest

[harsh sedge]

Yeah I'm stuck on that. I started the Open the Door but now it's stuck on "wait to hear from jina"

[loud axle]

Curious how many zones y'all would expect in a 1.0 release.

Personally I'd expect to see 5.

[icy creek]

Has anyone else notice that at 6pm that growth with the trees and plants happens? Did that change? Or is it supposed to be 6am. I thought it all happened at 6am.

[modern rock]

how long have you been waiting? it probably means you're waiting for a letter, so make sure you check your mail

[stable cipher]

what happened to the other employees?

[harsh sedge]

literally weeks, maybe months in real time. Since I forgot about the quest and I also only play off and on. I think I have already cleared all my mail but I'll check again...

[fiery perch]

4-5 seems like a reasonable amount in general, and what i'd prefer & normally would expect from a 1.0 release tbh

But, admittedly, i expect that 3 would probably be what's there for the 1.0 release for Palia. ...

[harsh sedge]

Ok so apparently that was it. My flag rarely goes up when I have mail in my mailbox so I forget to check it. I'm progressing now, thank you!

[loud axle]

Big layoff awhile ago, 49 people (which was a bit sus as 50 is the number where they have to follow the WARN act) after which several more employees left voluntarily. Then after the Steam release there was another layoff with around 29 people IIRC, including the last of the community managers.

[stable cipher]

really weird

[fiery perch]

Here's hoping that the acquisition will help tbh. It at least means Palia will be around longer.

Hoping it also means they'll add more MMO-oriented features.

[stable cipher]

yah i want the game to go on for a long time

[loud axle]

IDK honestly, I expect they want to milk the beta label for as long as possible as it allows them to get away with a lot of the bugs and glitches they don't know how to fix. Might even see "early access" first before they go to an official 1.0 launch...

But like you said as well, with the acquisition maybe things will improve!

[stable cipher]

tbh though, i just recently started playing again after not playing for months, and i have seen a lot of improvements gameplay wise. i can give them credit there, but it is defintely baby steps being taken towards addressing all of the bugs lol

[fiery perch]

It's really hard to judge tbh. I can see it going both ways. ...

I just know they mentioned a 1.0 release that theyre working towards (i mean, obviously they are, but they mentioned it again) ... and then also tying in that theyre wanting to put it "into the hands of every gamer that wants to play across all major platforms". ... I might be reading too mcuh into it, admittedly (I blame autism LMAO), but::

... I guess I'm just hoping it isn't them rushing with it. I'm hoping that with the acquisition, maybe that'll help them slow down (in the sense of testing, bug fixes, things like that). There's still some people having issues with the cash-shop (I saw earlier today, someone bought an outfit and they didn't receive the shirt, but received the hat and pants...) ...so I just hope this means maybe it'll improve haha

[harsh sedge]

Do the weekly wants give you more friendship points than anything else they like all the time?

[hard coral]

yes

[harsh sedge]

do you know how much more?

[hard coral]

i don’t know, sorry

[harsh sedge]

no worries

[native skiff]

yass plushie

[trail cloud]

I still think going from version 0.1xx to 1.0 is strange and feels rushed

[lilac garnet]

I was hoping to play with my empty plot to work on decorating without having to actually change anything from my active plot.... although the things I'm already using (like my house rooms) are not showing... does this mean I have to actually clear my land in order to just play around decoration wise? Or do I have a glitch.... please tell me it's a glitch lol

[calm gale]

Buildings only show on the plot you originally place them on.

[lilac garnet]

So in order to just "play" decorating I have to pick them up which obviously removes everything in them... or buy more buildings?.... whelp looks like I'm not re decorating 😂

[calm gale]

Yep if you want them on the second plot you will have to pick them up or spend your hard earned gold on more buildings

[whole kestrel]

whats the best thing to put into the glow worm farm?

[lilac garnet]

Seems a bit silly seeing how you aren't doubling up or anything because you can only have 1 active plot any way... that's a real shame. Hopefully its something they change in the future. I will keep my purely productive yet ugly plot for now.

[lilac garnet]

Depends, you can put different things in to get different fertiliser, but I just use meat cause I have way too much from hunting sernuk for plushies

[calm gale]

Well I mean people do all sorts of different things on dif plots. I know some one who has their house on one. A hotel on another, a museum on another and a enchanted forest on yet a other. Sure you have to switch between them but idk. Its cool

[sterile river]

You get pirate furniture from the wheel? All I ever get it fireworks that I will never use lol

[whole kestrel]

is there a list i can find that shows me what to put in for different fertilisers? i only ever get harvestboost

[lilac garnet]

https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Glow_Worm_Farm

Hopefully this is okay to share...

[lilac garnet]

I may also be wrong cause I'm me, but I remember something about sweet stuff for the fluro green fertiliser... sorry if I'm not correct but that list should help

[lilac garnet]

Which is awesome!!! Love that! But I wish we could use the rooms we already own lol

[whole kestrel]

thank you sm!

[trim shore]

Why was no one gonna tell me how Reths friendship quest ended 😭 now I gotta wait for more!

After the acquisition I just want them to improve the story, I know I’ve said it before, but this is the first MMO that I’ve actually connected with and enjoyed so I’m really hoping good things will come from it!

[jovial cloud]

this also helps https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tr5KdvomPxOsA93HC9S7vDdP_bnffWifpwwQPCectdg/edit#gid=0

[soft burrow]

so true!! i'll be so sad if we never learn what's up with the humans or see the ends of storylines such as reth's or eshe's or elouisa's

[swift token]

I wonder if the game ends (hope it doesnt tho, of course) and we're left with a cliff hanger... if the writers who loved the game would briefly wrap it up for us?

Just so we're not left hanging forever, lol.

[dry swift]

Yes, but many people have been complaining that the odds are SUPER bad. I've gotten 4 pieces of pirate furniture and 1 plushie in about 200 spins which I'd honestly say is better than average but there are reports of people doing 100+ spins with nothing.

[fringe dome]

yeah i asked if they had a rng chance proof ( bc in america in some games you MUST disclose the odds, i was just curious) and nothin. lol so veryyyy curious to see the odds on it LOLLL

[dry swift]

I've heard it's something like 5% for furniture and 1.5% for plushie.

[fringe dome]

ye thats what someone else said c: idk how ppl get multiple 1%. nuts.

[jovial cloud]

These are prize wheel odds: https://paliapedia.com/prize-wheel/da-prizewheel-blackmarket/

[dry swift]

Still kinda sketch to put an entire furniture set behind a gacha game but whatever lol

[fringe dome]

oooooof those are worse than i thought they'd be- LOL

[fringe dome]

RIGHT?! and to make each even .-1$ difference as the same items T_T

[jovial cloud]

isn't the first time they have this and won't be the last lol

[fringe dome]

oh im suuuure

[dry swift]

I guess you're right with Sunrise Valley, but I was willing to look past that since it was the only form of gacha lol. Also, make Zeki coins cost less.

[jovial cloud]

fishing waterlogged chests is also luck of the draw without recipes
I really wish they just implemented rewarding recipes

[dry swift]

Or, S6, please remove a majority of the garbage from the wonderous machine table. Nobody who is spending 10k a spin wants to see normal seeds.

[fringe dome]

LOL i told my hubby about that ^ 10k to sell some seeds T_T

[lyric night]

kilima "cozy" set, garden variety, makeshift, flotsam, valley sunrise, pirate
there are many rng furniture sets

[jovial cloud]

i should post what i got after dropping over 100 coins lol

[fringe dome]

LOL i dont wanna be reminded of my luck...

[dry swift]

3 ancient fish and counting xD

[lyric night]

its better now at least especially with the guaranteed plush after ~30 boxes

[fringe dome]

w ut its guarenteed?

[jovial cloud]

yeah this was BEFORE improved odds LOL

[dire kraken]

and it being 70 furniture total makes me want to jump into the ocean
with no recipes

[dry swift]

I just don't know what they were thinking at S6 when they thought this would be a "fun" experience for players lol

Makeshift furniture isn't super bad just because you're making money through fishing in the meantime and fishing is actually pretty nice. (Unless you have a disability, but that's a different can of worms)

[fringe dome]

why are they updating these small parts before story line? /gen

[jovial cloud]

I had about 10 more to go (though I didn't take pics of some of the outside stuff because it was hard to get the lighting right)
I took pics of almost everything i had in every color: https://mega.nz/folder/inZ1VTJZ#mxpOUU40w-m6z_Zj0B0Hdg

[dire kraken]

you're a legend. i have gotten everything so if you ever want to update that with the missing items, just lmk

[jovial cloud]

hit up the wiki folks, grab the wiki role from id:customize and go to the furni section

there are some rules for the photos though for clean and clear pictures of just the item and consistent same background and flooring

i felt bad dropping the game before finishing

[dry swift]

the makeshift ladder has to be my favorite from the set. So versatile with the right glitching.

[jovial cloud]

voidness made me a tutorial on shifting them and merging them i was going to put 3 together and make it lead to the roof of my house LOL

[dire kraken]

the furniture in the wiki topic? i've tried to edit the modif pictures on the wiki and failed terribly. that's why i don't dare touch it again im scared the wiki overlords will be mad at me for messing it up

[dry swift]

This is just a cute little ladder I made going to the 2nd floor of my treehouse.

[jovial cloud]

i just submitted my pictures to them and they uploaded it for me!

i supplied most of makeshift as mentioned, the cozy ladder, some of the level 5 items, and a bit more
i just gave em the pics

[dry swift]

You ever wonder how we have climbing in the game, but there are no climbable ladders for our plot?

[jovial cloud]

climbable ladders would be so good, but it would require further coding and animation
maybe in the future

[dire kraken]

ooh sounds good! will not have to be scared any longer, i've been wanting to contribute modif pics for a long time

[dry swift]

It's just funny how you can scale upside-down on a cliff, but heaven-forbid you try to scale a wooden building block.

Also, I would love more options for shooting targets like the Sernuk I hid in the Gazebo in this picture. It would be fun to have a hidden shooting gallery. And if you got a bullseye, it should actually fire off a firework or something.

[olive carbon]

Really love the idea of more shooting targets and the shooting gallery idea! I'm imagining ones you could hang down on building blocks, maybe glitch them into trees or something. As an archer in real life, this concept pleases me greatly!

[olive carbon]

(Also the roofs of your gazebos look crazy cool with that wallpaper on them!)

[potent solstice]

I'm no developer and I don't know the effort or work that goes into it. But building is so tedious at so many points now and I have officially just given up on it for now.

Enshrouded has a like adaptive construction. So if you are building two different pieces that you want together, they sort of merge. Hard to explain for me. But something like that made for so many awesome opportunities in building. That over here would be amazing.

[dry swift]

Couldn't you technically do the shelf glitch with one of the normal targets and hang it upside-down that way? Just food for thought. I might have to test it out once I have the medals

[distant mason]

I would love if the guilds eventually became developed to the point that there were some new kind of (maybe even pvp competitive) archery challenges via Hassian. Maybe a new area that’s an arena for targets.

Something similar could possibly be incorporated to other guilds with like, bake-offs for cooking, decorating challenges for furniture crafting, etc.?

I know we already have weekly challenges at level 10(?) but more minigame type activities to participate in with other players is something I look forward to in a game like Palia.

I know that’s wayyy in the future thinking though.

[lost acorn]

I wanna know what that mysterious bingo game is. There was that bug that showed up for a while that hinted at some kind of community game

[dry swift]

I agree. I've thought of similar challenges too. Like Reth's Restaurant Rush. Where you apprentice for him and he tasks you with a bunch of orders to complete in a certain amount of time. You don't get any of the food from it, but he refunds the cost of the ingredients and you earn medals/cosmetics and maybe some new blinged out versions of existing furniture like a golden oven/stove/mixing/prep station.

[distant mason]

I desperately want to play cards with Hassian and Auni every day. Like let me into your super secret uno club pls

[distant mason]

Reth’s Papa’s Pizzeria era would go hard

[dry swift]

Unfortunately there's currently no incentive other than a couple achievements for making every starred dish/furniture item in the game and it just feels like a waste of materials.

[distant mason]

also agree that we totally need new skins for the kitchen appliances

[dry swift]

And Tish has implied several times that she could use help with her furniture building. It's the perfect setup for a minigame.

[distant mason]

Right!

Not sure what could be done for Ashura or Badruu.

Foraging could have a tree chopping game where you try to get as many chops as you can before it falls, maybe? (Totally got that idea from TLoZ: Skyward Sword)

[dry swift]

It would be much more entertaining of a time sink than. "Go play hot pot 500x for this pirate furniture. Yarr! Also there might be blown up Jpeg versions of existing plushies."

[distant mason]

feel like the lag would ruin that though

[dry swift]

Ashura's could be a scavenger hunt-type deal where you need to gather certain rare foragables in his grove for the drinks he brews at his inn. They're rare because they can only be picked when they're in just the right time window and some of them can only be gathered by chopping trees (Some mushrooms grow on trees).

[distant mason]

Also wonder if, should we ever get livestock, would that be Nai’o’s guild? Badruu already has gardening.

[distant mason]

Aw, heck yeah!

[dry swift]

Badruu would be like... "I have this special kind of fertilizer that helps my crops grow super fast! I need you to plant and gather the crops I tell you, but be quick! The fertilizer is so effective that the crops will wilt if left alone too long." If you played OSRS, kind of a similar concept to Tithe farm.

I mean, in a world where magic exists, why wouldn't Badruu have a flow-infused fertilizer to help give him a competitive edge?

[distant mason]

Ooh, I like that one.

[dry swift]

I could also see Hassian having an on-the-rails shooter. Hassian's Huntstraveganza! It could either be a rail-shooter where you and Hassian are sneakily hunting down chapaas. OR it could just be an archery range with a time limit kind of like a duck hunt clone where you would have to shoot all the chapaas on your screen for points.

Also side rant, but we need more and different kinds of arcade games.

[distant mason]

would love to hunt with Hassian! more interactions with the NPCs in general is something that would be well appreciated, I believe.

[wide hound]

[distant mason]

ruh roh!

[karmic snow]

wish they make cooking .the time it takes to make give me more time lol

[rare pine]

Yeah if they truly want this to be be a "play how you want" game, they need to adjust some of the cook times

I'm looking at you, Muujin Bahari

[loud axle]

If they wanted this to be a play how you want game they'd add in item trading 😦

[rare pine]

I haven't cooked all the dishes. I'll admit, I do not enjoy cooking it the game. It's a little too involved. Especially when compared to the other skills. How is it that I can whip up a whole bed faster than I can chop some garlic?

[gusty fossil]

IKEA

[amber turret]

I finally broke my pacifist arc in Palia. Taking my daybreak anger out on the foul beasts in bahari bay

[bright ledge]

on the otherside, what if crafting tool/crafters/furniture had different minigame[s] depending on type of furniture etc

likely.... can you different angles scan ground area?

[harsh lava]

has anyone had issues with the game glitching on switch making it impossible to run/jump/use glider/chat?

[rare pine]

I wouldn't mind it if the mini game wasn't intense.

[tribal orchid]

Anyone know the official pronunciation for "Delaila"?

[loud axle]

This is a bug that's been around since the beginning of the game. Doesn't happen super often but definitely happens.

[sudden bay]

uh oh......

[potent solstice]

Do I still get the benefits of loved gifts even if I dont have them at 3 or 4 friendship level? Only asking since I was told to use a tracker but I cant see a loved gift for this person yet.

[sudden bay]

Is there an increase in crashing in the middle of hotpot?

[dire kraken]

most of my crashes have been during hotpot

[jovial cloud]

you can gift without having the knowledge unlocked in game and it will count
but if you gift a level 3 or 4 weekly want without being level 3 or 4 it will not count as a loved gift or as an accomplishment of doing the want, no
if they like the gift and thus take it, it will be a regular gift
sometimes, they don't even like the weekly want gift too and will return it to you if you aren't the correct level

[tawny mortar]

does anyone know why this outfit isn't available in the store?

(outfit is called Steller Sorcery)

[slim smelt]

Is it possible to bild my own see on my plot? Do we have water in some way?

*sea (:

[brave remnant]

It will be, tomorrow!

[sudden bay]

No

[warped river]

Hello, i notice that in each villagers room there is usually a recipe book u find to unlock a recipe (blue book). ive found one in every villagers room ive unlocked so far except tish. she has a blue book on her desk in her room but it doesnt give a prompt to read, is this a bug or has everyone else not found a recipe in her room as well?

[heavy orbit]

i dont think that you get new recipe in all rooms

[blazing ocean]

man i am almost af full compleetion on all acheivements! i just need the gold star white choppa tail to show up, the gold star rainbow tipped butterfly and Inars pebble mission to be fixed! got all the recipes done the other day thanks to my good friend and my wonderful wife helping me out with those!

[alpine hatch]

i just ran into the problem that im only allowed to place 8 chests per plot, why am i not allowed to place more? i just need more access points 😭

[olive carbon]

You can also access your normal storage from the three additional lock boxes by the way!

[alpine hatch]

good point, but this would still make only 11 ._. but thanks anyways! this shall suffice for now

[olive carbon]

I understand your pain

[alpine hatch]

im building a pretty large plot rn and 11 points of storage access can be a real pain since i dont wanna run around all the time later when i need something

and also just aesthetic wise do i want chests in my rooms

[signal kayak]

if they are just for aesthetics, you can use the treasure chests that you get from finding the hidden loot around the two maps, or from fishing up the makeshift. as far as not wanting to run around the plot, i just move a chest to where i'm working. i only have 4 chests on my main plot

[alpine hatch]

yea during working on it im doing the same, but for the finished build i mean, regardless, would still be nice to be not limited :) i'll work my way around it for now

[floral hamlet]

Good question. I'd like to know this too. Bumping it up again.

[prime copper]

Why won't it let me play?

[cinder temple]

I see references to this specific error as far back as March and a similar error from 7 months ago. Mixed reviews on how to fix it; most folks seem to feel it's an error on S6's end with their servers struggling to load people into the game or between maps. It may not hurt to restart your internet connection just to see if maybe your hardware is hiccuping, but if it keeps saying that, you should file a ticket with support so they can dig into the game and see what's happening.

Actually, I looked a few pages further and this may actually be a bug from last summer. Hee hoo. Oh no.

[sudden bay]

I kinda feel like S6 has been systematically making the game super easy. No longer do you have to work for flow tress, you can grow them on your plot. No longer do you have to fight for Ore beause they stay even when others have mined them. No longer do you have to find people to fish with or bubbles because it's in the underground. The only thing they made harder was getting premium furniture and plushies. There is no longer any skill or excitement of running into items. It's all just become a grind.

[loud axle]

I mean... it's always been a grind. There aren't any meaningful goals to work towards... or end-game co-op activities... or much reason to continue playing once you've built the house you want, really. That's why you see so few people that have been here since the days of alpha, we did it all multiple times and have seen there doesn't seem to be much else coming. :x

[amber turret]

The future of Palia is really uncertain at the moment.

[loud axle]

Honestly the acquisition was great news. I gave them a year when they launched into beta before they'd have to shutter the studio, I think with a larger parent company behind them they've bought some more time.

[amber turret]

The only good thing about the Acquistion was the game isn't shutting down. Daybreak Games is a pretty garbage company and will control the financials of both S6 and Palia, picking and choosing what is more cost effficient.

[loud axle]

Oh for sure, I know their history but a 10% chance of success is better than a 0% one lol

[amber turret]

True, anything is better than nothing!

[modern rock]

you still have to play the game a ton to earn the ability to grow flow trees on your plot. you still have to run around looking for ore (especially palium). you still have to find people to fish with or bubbles to fish in if you need/want to fish anywhere except the underground.

LOADS of people complained all these things were too hard. loads of people complained the bundle rewards didn't give you anything useful. loads of people like that you can do these things more easily now. idk it's literally not possible for this game to be the perfect difficulty for everyone.

[loud axle]

I'd really love to be a fly on the wall in their meetings right now. Curious if there's been any, ahem... management "shuffles" 😛

[amber turret]

At one point, I did have faith in Aiden, then layoffs happened and now this.. It's gonna be an interesting rest of the year for Palia

[loud axle]

Yep. Will be interesting to see if they finally reverse course a bit instead of continually ramming into the same wall over and over.

Wonder if the monetization model will see some changes as well since that's clearly not been working.

I'm expecting subscriptions eventually, whether sooner or later though who knows.

[amber turret]

I'm expecting Daybreak to fully push microtransactions. Not talking P2W, but stuff like a Battle Pass, items you could buy that you could obtain in the world, etc.

[alpine hatch]

idk know why people say it needs to be hard, its a cozy game its not supposed to be "difficult" a cozy game is literally all about the grind, not challenge per say, i find it good that they eased the grind a bit, and its still a big grind for a lot of things, how this grind looks like (money, flow wood, palium, etc) is secondary. not directed at you @modern rock, just expanding on what you said :)

[alpine hatch]

thats gonna be a hard one tbh, since the base promise of the game and devs was no pay2progress and everything you can see on the plot is only earnable through playing (sceneries are a different thing) and no FOMO, a Battlepass and those things you mentioned would break that promise by a long shot and would probably also upset a ton of players, especially those who play this game on and off especially for that reason that there is no fomo

[amber turret]

Sometimes promises get broken. And it's going to happen because of Daybreak.

[loud axle]

They've already backpedaled on several promises made early on in development, so wouldn't be anything new.

[fiery perch]

You can change how battlepasses work. Deceive Inc (and i've been told other games), have it to where the battlepass says up the entire time, and you earn a diff "Currency" that you can spend in said (whichever) battlepass. So it'd still prevent FOMO, and people could pay for whichever one they want "premium".

[amber turret]

There's plenty of FOMO in the game, twitch drops, news inbox items, events, etc.

[alpine hatch]

the problem is, publishers and investors never understand what actually brings in and keeps players, its so sad that even after such a long time of experiencing this those guys still dont understand what players want

[sudden bay]

Very true and fair points but I spent $100 on the game for outfits and now I've completed ALL the quests, ALL the friendship. I have all the guild items and 8 lots. I am at least 50 in all the skills. What else is there for me to do? Wait for new content and then when that is done then wait more. I regret spending the money I did because it's been less than a year and the playability is not only gone it's WAY easier and not challending at all.

[alpine hatch]

yea kinda like the "battlepass" in Guild Wars 2, i like that system tbh

[loud axle]

Definitely don't want items to be purchased directly but I'm fine with Battlepasses including some rarer items as rewards.

[alpine hatch]

sorry, i meant specifically the premium store

[amber turret]

There's players unlike yourself that aren't where you're at. If you're the type of person that has everything done by the time all the content is out, then it's time to move on to another game. Most players are still experiencing early to mid game content

[amber turret]

Oh gotcha, yeah no fomo in the store.. yet

[sudden bay]

I guarantee that is not true

[alpine hatch]

true, i think less than 1% of players is grinding so hard that they are that far in the game, i mean i played a TON already although i took a couple months break, im still really only making my first plot look good, not even thinking about a second plot

[loud axle]

Personally the Vistas already left a bad taste in my mouth. I expected you'd unlock more housing plots in new locations as the world expanded...

[amber turret]

SAME! My plot is getting pretty close to being finished and I still look for plushies and what not. Still plenty to do even if I'm pretty far into the game.

[alpine hatch]

yep, especially all the small details take up so much time if you want everything to look perfect

and i saw so many items on other plots that i didnt even know existed that i now want for my plot 😭

[amber turret]

Lemme get a pic of my plot and you can see it's taken a lot of work

[alpine hatch]

i also need to probably rid bahari and kilima multiple times of all its trees just to get enough seeds to put them on my plot xD

[alpine hatch]

oh damn

so many ancient fish! i dont even have a single one, not even to mention the plushie 😭

[amber turret]

I'm trying to get 60 in total, 15 for each wall in that hallway!

[alpine hatch]

thats madness xD

[amber turret]

But it's something I can show off to the world lol

[alpine hatch]

thats true :D

[slender crown]

Investors only want to see that something is profitable. The rest is unimportant to them.

[alpine hatch]

yea but giving players what they want IS profitable, especially in the long run

[slender crown]

Correct. Investors hire people to give advice to companies, like telling them to cut workforce or stop paying insurance premiums to show gains after slashing jobs or benefits.

Then, once a company ends up struggling after taking bad advice from the investors, the investors may choose to not fund the company. The company can't even sue the investors. That's because taking the investor's advice is optional or voluntary.

They can still get funding without taking the advice but I don't think companies know that. They collapse first and it's in hindsight that it's learned.

[alpine hatch]

but there are so many examples nowadays, how did they still not learn this?

[slender crown]

Not saying that happened with S6. I have no idea. Just that it is something that does happen.

[slender crown]

Not sure. One day we might learn the details.

[alpine hatch]

of course, but i see it happening all over the place, so many times, i really wonder how they still havent learned

[rustic oyster]

I have been playing Palia now for a month and I am 95% through the stories (I want to conclude the villager story lines when I have time to read and appreciate it). The game is fun, but I have the feeling like after a great first season of a wonderful tv series and I am wondering if they have enough for a good second season.
I think S6 needs to come forward with their roadmap for the game rather soon. I don't think that players with a shaky confidence in the future of a game will be spending money in the shop.

[arctic ledge]

I ache to find a (expressive) heardrop lilly for this (expressive) pin

[restive pumice]

Is there a place to add like suggestions for the game? I think Zeki and Tish need a new invention like his duplicator but instead of duplicating it takes a furniture piece and breaks it down into a certain % of the items used to recycle it

Good morning everyone! I hope you all have a great day!

[karmic snow]

I think cooking the Timmer longer to do the chopping and rolling and oven time longer

morning

Iam so slow it burns hahahahah

I wont and don't cook.

[vivid osprey]

I’ve never seen those potted trees in the 7th slide, are those part of the furniture that Zeki drops in the lucky gacha?

[swift token]

Good Timezones to everyone!

Is there a known reason why the Rummage Pile in Bahari is always at the beach?

[dire kraken]

chapaas like to sunbathe?

[swift token]

Ah, the lore is that the chappas made the pile? Interesting!

[dire kraken]

i think so, cause they love to steal items and collect them hence the little piles :p

[rustic oyster]

Maybe your kitchen layout is not optimized? I have no problem doing most dishes in half the time...
If you are struggling you can cook with someone else together you will both get the dish.

[rare pine]

It's a flotsam pile. And flotsam is just junk that washes up on a shore.

[silk trellis]

Anyone know when the sorcery outfits come out today? Really looking forward to the fits/broom

[jovial cloud]

in a few hours
#🤝│game-help message

[silk trellis]

Thank you!🥰🥳

[cosmic agate]

Is no one else upset about hotpot being ruined? I feel like I'm going crazy

And the palia reddit mods won't let me talk about it

[jovial cloud]

ruined like how people steal spots and the game crashes a lot, or something else?

I'm sure you can discuss issues if you're rational about it nod

[cosmic agate]

That and people just cheating or playing dirty to win games as quickly as possible to get as many coins possible

[jovial cloud]

I think that different ways to play aren't inherently wrong, but the whole table should be in agreement in an etiquette sense that that is how the game is going to be done

[cosmic agate]

It was taken down because palia categorised it as discussing etiquette

[jovial cloud]

I suppose there is just a balance to these things
etiquette is not a hard rule that one HAS to be a certain way
so it's a tough discussion

[cosmic agate]

Just feels like no one is playing for fun anymore and the culture of it is dead. Everyone is either comming what they need/have to win the rounds faster or they're yelling at each other for 'stealing spots'

[jovial cloud]

I think the real critique is the developers of the game should remedy the issue while keeping these options open.
For example, adding more tables, making it playable all day instead of a limited time, and even providing players with a way to obtain a table for home
are all feedback solutions I think would help quite a bit

[bright ledge]

i cant see ppl sometimes underground

no shadow no name tag

[jovial cloud]

That happened during lunar new year market when hotpot was introduced as well
It's most likely because of the limited time making servers get strained because everyone wants to play

I had a document with suggestions for hotpot, back during the lunar market, and that was one of my suggestions

Another one, is the ability to have people able to "tag in" to play where a bot left off

[cosmic agate]

I honestly think one of the biggest issues with the game is that there are no guidelines to help players play harmoniously. The amount of times I've seen newbies get yelled at or lectured in chat for things that the game doesn't explain to them or just some people playing selfishly with no regard for others. It's making me not want to play

[jovial cloud]

Part of that might be because the tutorial was lacking due to expectations on things drastically changing
I have always been anticipating a tutorial revamp, it better be good

[cosmic agate]

I like palia because it's cozy and relaxing but the amount of conflict I've been seeing really takes me out of the vibe
