oh god nooo why'd you have to remind me of that LOL

[novel zinc]

teleporting is slow and there's frequent "unable to reconnect"? we're experiencing it here in the Philippines or it's global? 🙂

[sinful abyss]

I am experiencing as well in the US and when leaving my plot it keeps telling me that my friend is not home when trying to enter Kilima so I have to try a few times

[rich slate]

I have the same issue

[twin horizon]

where can I post for plushie trading?

I think the loading issue is an ongoing problem sadly

[brisk spruce]

it was in the news post on the s6 website (as opposed to the Palia website) where they announced the acquisition

With the expanded resources, we’ll continue investing in the development and exploration of new and innovative ideas in the online multiplayer cozy community sim genre, bringing Palia to its 1.0 launch, and ultimately getting Palia into the hands of every gamer that wants to play across all major platforms.

Were you around when males could shoot faster too? 😅

[warm python]

[old dirge]

link and excerpt of the financial statement re: consoles

[wintry sparrow]

Whoever was with me on the server that kept getting RTB’s with honey lures, I hope you all got one of these. My god that was stressful! I’m tired 😂

[stray sluice]

Ok I need to make money fast, I want to buy the gazebo and I'm only one house plot away, what is literally the fastest way to make money? Sell cakes?

[glossy dirge]

I was in a server yesterday that had a bunch of lures dropped. It wasn't intentional - but no rtb

[glossy dirge]

Hunting, bug catching, mining, gardening.

All skills are profitable honestly

I have about 800k in gems in storage 😅

[rare pine]

If you''re on every day all the time, a combination of pickling and mining.

[glossy dirge]

I really don't garden at all but I know afk gardens are very good money makers

[rare pine]

pickling is mostly set and forget while mining is more active. That combination got me to the gold cap several times.

[glossy dirge]

I do cake parties like once every 5 months 😅 but I use them as focus & worm farms mostly

I wonder how much money I'd have if I sold mining materials 😅

I don't sell rocks, ores, bars or gems

[rare pine]

I feed my worms morels from Zeki and and use the harvest boost for more crops for more pickles.

[glossy dirge]

I should fill the jam makers at the very least so I have focus food when I run out of cakes & dumplings

When I'm not putting cakes in with the worms I just give them meat from hunting

[rare pine]

I hate cooking with a passion. So I just let my character starve.

[glossy dirge]

I can't. My heart cries when focus isn't full & I miss out on the xp lol

[broken ginkgo]

🤯🤯that’s terrible!!!

[rare pine]

Did they patch that out?

[thin summit]

Question, is the RTB limited to 2 spawning per in game day cycle? For the past 2 days, my friends and I have been hunting and spammimg lures and we always only get 2 spawn per day cycle (when they do spawn that is )

Asking if this is just RNG or if it's actually something in the code.

[vivid oar]

RNG, Iv got up to 8 a day with big lure parties. I have no idea about natural spawns though

[thin summit]

Okay thank you so much! Definitely encourages us to keep going!

[spark haven]

I'm so gay guys
I really hope they'll add romance level 5 where we can like- get married and move in or smh

[stray sluice]

I hope I don't get banned or reported for saying this...but I kinda wished they'd make treasure Island for Palia...I need another 75,000 for plot #4!!! It's fine, it's all gouda!!!

[spark haven]

Whats your farm level at? You can get alot of money by making Jam jars

[stray sluice]

It's at 30, I'm making money just not fast and I have no patiences. I have all the crafting tools and machines I'm just impatient.

[signal kayak]

you can see if you can sign up for cake parties, bakers i believe don't have to have ingredients

[stray sluice]

I've tried looking for cake party's on discord and Facebook and Reddit, it is so hard to find one that is currently happening. I've made some many posts about wanting to get into a cake a party and I never get invited or am allowed to join.

[lethal granite]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1267651728229007390

have you tried there? there’s a whole site that’s commonly used for it!

wait that’s the wrong channel maybe

[olive carbon]

Pssst, #1143270926394335282 is usually where cake parties are posted!

[lethal granite]

tyyyyy help desk i couldn’t figure out how to link it 😭

stinky mobile discord

[opaque swallow]

Everyone tells me they use Paliaparty.app website to get into cool parties

I just wait around in chat like an idiot

[lethal granite]

don’t get down on yourself like that! the parties channel fern just linked to is for finding people to do something specific! lfg chat is also for finding folks to party with.

i’ve used paliaparty to join when frens were hosting cooking parties, it’s v useful.

[olive carbon]

It's funnier this way, like watching a fawn learn how to use it's legs

[warm python]

I think I might actually have tea yet to be finished next to me

My bad habit: half-drank mugs of tea and coffee (in the exact mug in that emote) sitting on the table next to me, god forbid I ever finish them that day

though maybe I shouldn't chug this black tea at 11pm.

[hollow crescent]

mine is making coffee and then leaving somewhere to find it like 2 hrs later

[warm python]

[lethal granite]

bleh

i knew that but i didn’t do that

thinking is hard

[oak turtle]

ok im gonna say the flow tree multiple people mechanic can be suoper annoying when u keep finding them and bnobody in ur server is responding or coming to help -_-

[torn kindle]

That sucks, do you write that you need help or just call the ft?

[oak turtle]

called, flared, flared agfain, and asked if anyone was coming but no responses

its just one of those things, kinda annoying tho, I wish there was a workaround, I even havew a fully upgraded axe

[torn kindle]

Yes it can be very frustrating when no one replies. At a certain point you will be able to grow ft on your plot.

[arctic viper]

wait can you harvest flow trees on your own plot? I have several as decorative pieces and have started growing some now to be harvested when I need flow wood

[runic eagle]

You can, but if you want to get another seed from that tree it needs to reach full maturity, which will then require a friend or another player to come over and be set as an editor to your plot in order to help chop it down.

[signal kayak]

for me, it's a waste of time to go after a single flow tree when there's groves available once per hour

[dire reef]

If I find a small lonely ft by itself, I chop bc I highly suspect it was forgotten or not seen bc it's well past 3am.

[dry swift]

We really should just be able to chop FT's of any size and just have it leave a ghost like rocks do. Not sure why that isn't the case now.

[signal kayak]

leave them for 5 minutes for others to get or something like that

yeah, because it can get so toxic with players at groves. i've seen people apologize for accidentally taking the single hit trees

[dire reef]

Oh...interesting

[runic eagle]

It was also implemented due to player feedback, cuz back then the only way we had to get flow was deforesting an area and force spawning them and players were working so hard to collect enough flow to make all of the furniture sets in game, and the drop rates were much lower back then as well with the amount of flow.
Now that groves have been implemented and the amount of flow drops increased, no one wants to come help with the random ones that appear.

[dire reef]

I try to hit every tree once when in a group and waiting. I missed a tree once and didn't get the wood. 🤷‍♀️ that was on me.

[dry swift]

Eh, if you don't cut down the single-chop tree someone else will. Might as well be you.

[runic eagle]

That's been a hard no since the beginning, but I can only imagine

[signal kayak]

if they ever implemented vc, i would quit the game fully (or turn it completely off)

[runic eagle]

Too hard to moderate with players from pre-teens all the way into their 70's playing the game.

[neat compass]

I never hesitate to critique the game lol, but I personally don't think groves (and the 'etiquette' issues) are entirely S6's fault. Like Nostalgia said, groves were added as a response to community feedback. It used to be a lot harder to get flow wood. Maybe there's a better solution out there, but I personally think groves were a huge step forward from where we started.

[runic eagle]

I agree.

We used to spend hours upon hours with others in order to collect enough flow just to make a piece of furniture back then.

[signal kayak]

agree entirely, they just need to be updated again to stop players that take the grove when people are on the way to it

[neat compass]

It's hard to know what's a rollback and what's an accident these days 😅

[signal kayak]

and the best way to do that is to make them act like the rocks, let them stay around for 5 to 10 minutes to allow players to get them even after they have been taken

[runic eagle]

I think the groves were a great idea, I personally think the increase in drops/amount of flow per tree was a mistake. This seems to be when the issue began with others not coming to help out as much.

[neat compass]

Yeah that's a good point.

[runic eagle]

I mean you can't even give flow away hardly anymore

Oh how times have changed.

[torn kindle]

When you go over to the other side of the map because someone called a grove and there is 2 smol trees that will drop 1.5 chunk

[dire reef]

How does one get a ft on their plot?

[dry swift]

I mean, the temple of the earth bundle made flow wood pretty easy to get, but I think a problem with that is that you need a starred ruby to complete it in addition to the rng of getting a flow seed.

[neat compass]

Or it reverted to an older version from a previous patch, much like chapaa chase Or like the paver issue returning for round 2

[runic eagle]

From this little guy https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Ancient_Galdur_Statue#How_to_Obtain

[dire reef]

Ahh I haven't even touched those quests yet. Still fairly new to the game. Thank you.

[neat compass]

Anything is possible 🤣 but yeah that's super silly, I had no idea that happened with this patch. So many fun surprises lurking around every patch lol

[fallow saffron]

I like that idea! An idea I had was making the groves impossible to chop until a certain time. But I like your idea better /gen

[signal kayak]

certain time could be more lore friendly, honestly. something like the longer the trees are there the weaker the flow is in them making them easier to chop after a certain time

still would need other players to chop them though

[fallow saffron]

Also like.. having the grove always be in one spot so that everyone knows where to meet up at midnight in game. I know some people like to look for the grove each time, but I’ve also seen others say that they are limited on time and just want to be done with the grove

[fallow saffron]

Maybe they could do like.. “waves” of groves? Like, the grove re-grows 5 mins after being chopped, but for players that missed it. Similar to what you were saying about the rocks that are mined

[neat compass]

Yeah idk why we should have to rely on sound or chat when both of those lose functionality constantly

[north hazel]

Hi! Can someone tell if anyone else has their outfits erased from favorites? And I am also missing a hair type...

[west marlin]

Like just your favorites are gone or are the outfits gone from the menu entirely

[normal saddle]

Everyone else saw that brief Sales Announcement get announced then taken back down for a second? Lol

[torn kindle]

Yes it’s back again 😅

[normal saddle]

Lol I didn't even catch what the mistake was. Did anyone else catch it?

[torn kindle]

Nope I hadn’t even read the first paragraph

[normal saddle]

Dang, Chief is quick

[onyx bone]

Nothing, I just used the wrong account the first time - "Palia" account instead of this one O.o

[normal saddle]

Lol woops

Tbh most of us here probably wouldn't have noticed, but your boss probably should would

[onyx bone]

Gonna slink back into the shadows! byeeeee~

[normal saddle]

See ya! We're watching 👀 lol

[normal saddle]

Oh no fair! Lol

How dare the official folks get access to full on gifs! Lol

Gif-Gate

[brisk spruce]

I can't even remember how long its been since we've been able to embed gifs in here, they were already gone from this channel before the recent stuff

[normal saddle]

Gonna bring this to snail gate levels! /Joke

[normal saddle]

Ah yeah. I'm pretty sure someone kept spamming and that's why we can't have nice things anymore. Sucks, but understandable

[west marlin]

Can we punish the spammers and not the rest of us

[normal saddle]

Yeah, that would be nice. Like maybe something like the chat timer thing but a little longer for gifs (10-15 min?)

[lilac tartan]

Hello chat! What’s new?

[normal saddle]

Pleeease mods? Promise we'll be good! (For maybe a day. Idk if that)

[west marlin]

There's a chance they turned it off and forgot to turn it back on. Maybe if we ask nicely they'll reenable them

[normal saddle]

Chief Chaapa posted the sales announcement from the Palia account instead of their account and we're yanking their chain about it.

Then joked about Gif-Gate since they posted a proper Gif while we don't have the privilege.

[normal saddle]

Where's the headquarters? I'll bake some apology brownies

Oh absolutely, would be nice to have that privilege back but I can see why they limited us to just the linked gifs

[lilac tartan]

Lol I saw the double notification and went ⁉️

[normal saddle]

Nothing gets past the discussion chat lol

[lilac tartan]

Wait is the google gif hack gone too 😩

[normal saddle]

I don't know what that is, but the only way we send gifs is that they get put in link form

Like this

[brisk spruce]

you can send a gif if you download it first

[lilac tartan]

Grab a gif from google and save it to your phone and use it like it’s a photo. (Not real hacking lol)

[normal saddle]

What. How did I do that???

I think I did something illegal.

[normal saddle]

I just used the little gif button on my phone keyboard!

Noice. Lemme test with a gif I need to search, then let's stop with the gifs for a minute before we get our privileges taken away again lol

Huh, that works too.

Neat.

[lilac tartan]

Bada-bing bada-boom!

[normal saddle]

Did our pleas work?? Lol

[lilac tartan]

No, I’m pretty sure who ever is in charge of this server can make it so gifs from the Discord gif engine can’t be used. Correct me if I’m wrong tho! 😅

And since the gif we use is from our own library idk if they can control that or not?

[normal saddle]

Oooh we found a loophole lol

[lilac tartan]

Indeed

[normal saddle]

I didn't realize discord had gifs since I usually use mobile

Oh man, we're totally getting in trouble for this at some point lol

[fallow saffron]

The last gif I have saved

[lilac tartan]

Pretty fitting for this server

[fallow saffron]

Oh.. I had no idea what topic was being discussed. I just added a gif

[brisk spruce]

the last one I saved was also a spongebob gif

[fallow saffron]

[lethal granite]

[normal saddle]

Yes, yes, I can also confirm this was on business-

[brisk spruce]

wait I lied, oprah bees was the last one I saved 🐝

[fallow saffron]

[normal saddle]

I feel like a kid hiding my ds under the pillow from mom, when we're talking about the gifs lol

[glossy dirge]

Can confirm they can and have disabled all gifs and images in the past 😅😅

Though I'm not very techy and ofc there could be a loophole lol

[boreal forge]

hwhat

<@&1216796663071637585> scam I think?

[fiery perch]

Mods are already pinged and saw in palia-gen
but yeah def a scam/spam thing

[sinful mesa]

was it a steam scam

[fiery perch]

@sinful mesa it's this

[cinder comet]

🫡

[boreal forge]

thanks Liam 🫡

[sinful mesa]

i didnt do anything

[boreal forge]

Or Juliet

[sinful mesa]

i was somehow blind to it

[fallow saffron]

[limpid trench]

So, one thing that i noticed is that their pricing on premium stuff seems very random. Like for instance the tool sets. Some are 425 with animated effects like the nebula one, then others are 1275 with no noteworthy extra’s like the new spring one or the matchmaker set….seems a very steep increase imo. And i see the same with outfits etc. i wonder where they base the prices on..

[fallow saffron]

When I was playing I had exactly 2 Palia coins left over

[lyric night]

the new model on tools inflates the toolskin prices, but yeah the spring and matchmarker ones are a bit weird 5 retextures and one remodel, they should be 850 max imo
it seems like a mix of missed the point and heard players feedback that we want all tools in one toolskin theme

[stray sluice]

I hunted and got my first plushie!! Proudhorned Sernuk Plushie, I'm so proud that I got it all by myself lol. Sorry big moment for me!

[limpid trench]

Yeah, exactly 850 i would be fine with for those. And that new cloudpet….how the hell is that one more expensive then a flutterfox 🤣

[lyric night]

bcs of the stupid "trick" animation I hate that they add them to every new pet to price them at 1275

[neat compass]

…what is the cloud’s “trick?”

[lyric night]

at least one has a lightning effect, don't know if all of them have the same, but probably

[normal saddle]

Wait, I missed some context. There was a scam?

[fiery perch]

it was the usual discord bot scam stuff. where someone with a brand new account comes int o try to post a scam to get ppl to msg blahblah

[normal saddle]

oh gotcha, so just the usual

[fiery perch]

yep exactly haha

[neat compass]

Free sandwiches at sammies4kenli dot com

[fiery perch]

sandwiches honestly sound so good rn

[normal saddle]

I got scared when catching up and thought I was getting tattled on for the gifs 🥲

[fiery perch]

OH no lol. And gifs are find to post anyways as long as you have them saved then upload them. (phone keyboards seem to also bypass this too sometimes)

[normal saddle]

Got leftover mexican I need to eat tonight and leftover chinese for tommorow

[fiery perch]

sounds delightful

[normal saddle]

Pls mods, don't send me to the shadow realm! /joke, but kinda serrious lol

[normal saddle]

My drake makes fire therefore she is better

[loud axle]

So uh, actually seeing video of the stickers now

They're really ugly... doesn't fit with the look and feel of the game at all. :l

[eager jasper]

I’m so confused as to where to post this so I’m gonna post it here in hopes that I understood everything right. I would like to trade a regular frogbert plush for a rainbow tipped butterfly plush. If you’re interested, please respond. If not, thanks for reading.

[neat compass]

Yeah, they feel like…well, discord stickers. Which is weird.

The video from their twitter or somewhere else?

[loud axle]

Yeah the Facebook video that was posted

[fallow saffron]

The one that’s like 4 secs long? I saw that and the stickers just look like.. out of place almost?

The art style I mean. I don’t dislike the art /gen
It just feels like it doesn’t match the world

[loud axle]

Yep. They look so bad, like a completely different art style than the game itself

[neat compass]

I agree, and so much of their premium stuff is like that too. It kind of ruins the immersion of the game imo.

[eager jasper]

Tysm!

[fallow saffron]

Running past someone in a wedding dress and then seeing someone dressed like a hotdog

[neat compass]

Exactly 🤣 I imagine it’s especially jarring for a brand new player

[fallow saffron]

There’s supposed to be some like.. motorcycle outfit…?

[neat compass]

Oh I don’t think I’ve seen that one. Or if I did see it, I didn’t know that’s what it was supposed to be

[warm python]

I love me some random outfits (obligatory FFXIV mention with a handful of mascot outfits and a few modern day looking ones) but man all the Palia cashshop outfits feel wildly different from each other and from the setting, like I've said before it's like walking into a Spirit Halloween

[neat compass]

That is a perfect description 😂

Either that or a convention of some kind lol

[fallow saffron]

I forgot what it was called, but there’s an outfit with a biker jacket I think?

[warm python]

It feels like they're throwing darts at the website for that store to decide what outfit to make next

[neat compass]

OH I think I’m vaguely remembering that one. I think it has spikes on it too

[fallow saffron]

Meanwhile people have asked to be able to buy hats separately

[neat compass]

“We heard you wanted individual pieces-“

[fallow saffron]

I think so! I don’t know why a biker jacket is needed in Palia. Or even those skateboard decorations.

And yes I am upset because we can’t actually skate or have mounts

[warm python]

If you could you know they'd shove that in the cash shop

[neat compass]

Sigh. True.

[warm python]

And oh god I just saw the video of the stickers for the first time too and that looks SO out of place and weird

they work in a discord server, not over someone's head

[neat compass]

This is maybe a weirdly specific gripe but I also think they’re weird to use when we can’t see the words attached to them? I can’t remember what 40 stickers mean 🤣

[warm python]

the rolling chappa is adorable but absolutely baffling in implentation there

[eager jasper]

How do people make the graphics of the plushies they have and the plushies they are looking for?

[fiery perch]

wee backreading so this is like an hour delayed response, but

Yes. the art style doesn't match, and not all the stickers share the same art style (imo).

And again i do think stickers are a cute concept, but the execution fell flat. I honestly feel like it woulda fit better if you could of made your own 'poster' or something, maybe? witht he stickers. Have a sign or block piece that you could put the "sticker" on.

[warm python]

okay someone just shared this with me from Nikki and my heart aches about how this game bamboozled everyone with the nonexistent feature

[west marlin]

😂

[worn snow]

i had the craziest dream about palia last night. it was scifi and really weird

[fallow saffron]

What happened? :o

[sage flicker]

So, i put this in the insect hunting channel, but i'm not sure where the best place for these kinds of things are? Maybe here would be better?

"Forgive me if these are worn out questions.

Does anyone know how accurate these "tricks" are? I have fellow players claiming a few things like standard smoke bombs have less damage therefore reduce likelyhood of one-hit-captures on bugs So they demand everyone in a bug hunt event use ONLY those types of bombs... Is there truth in this?

The other thing is that capturing only blue butterflies will increase likelyhood of a RTB spawning. They demand we all only catch blue butterflies, and scare away everything else, even the other rare bugs that drop silk.... This seems silly to me and a waste. Is there any truth to their claims? Or is it just made up based on coincidence. Because as far as i'm aware, the RNG is just that.. random.. and that there is no real STRATEGY because i don't imagine the game intending there to BE one."

Sorry for the length. Does anyone have accurate official info on this?

[fallow saffron]

I am not sure but I hope you get some answers

[fiery perch]

It doesn't matter what smoke bomb you use (not counting the supreme one, which is 1-shot no matter what). Like, none of the other bombs do any other "damage". They just have extra effects (like slowing them in an area, or not alerting some). but none of them do more damage.

The only thing that effects it is the belt

[lethal granite]

we dont have any official word on either question, but yes to what ciri and orii said.
i’ll say that for #2 anecdotally, i was curious about this once and went around bombing blue butterflies starting at 3 am in game. a rtb did spawn, so i do think that bombing the blue butterflies increases the chance of an rtb spawning. (it also took until 2 pm in game tho, they’re just a rng pain in general.)

[sage flicker]

see, i'm not so convinced it works. me and a group have tried this strat and gone several day cycles with no RTB. which is what leads me to believe it's just chance

thank you guys for the responses btw i really appreciate it

[warm python]

I think they said I could talk about Nikki as long as I was able to relate it to Palia so I should be in the clear

Lmao you ain't wrong though, it's an open world platformer with (mostly easy, at least) combat and just. yeah

[fiery perch]

hey @lyric night do you have more info on the RTB / Blue Butterfly thing?

[warm python]

iirc the outfit came out without the feature and people were like "hm but can we actually have that feature" and infold was immediately like "here ya go"

like immediately listened and put it in

[lethal granite]

like i said, anecdotal. i think getting rid of blue butterflies specifically helps — my theory has been that, in addition to just general rarity, there’s always a set number of bugs in a bug type on a server. so getting rid of a bug of one type (butterfly) vs. a grasshopper type will make another of that type appear, and it has a chance to be epic rarity, which is where the rng comes in. but again. anecdotal/theorizing. no idea how it actually works.

[warm python]

now if they just fixed fishing, all would be grand LOL

[fiery perch]

I know there has been some form of info on it, i just can't remember it all. Hoping Tiny can help if theyre arround

• I'm in a marvel rivals comp match rn, so words are hard

[lethal granite]

this is why i think the fairy mantis shows up way more than rtb — by running around doing other stuff, people are scaring off grasshopper/mantis types. but this is just my theory.

not like i know anything about catching rtbs…

yey tiny is here to splainer!

[sage flicker]

They say whatever you catch is what the game thinks you want.. im like wha?

I lead event parties on my own server and people often ask me if they should hunt only blue butterflies or not.. I'd rather catch everything, that way i get more money and silk. We don't know if it actually helps or not. I wish i knew

[fiery perch]

(Also, thank you in advance, Tiny. Going to keep note of what you say into my proper memory bank so I can answer if it gets asked and stuff again in future )

[sage flicker]

yes ty

[fiery perch]

That's what I thought I understood from what I read, ty! I appreciate ya

[lethal granite]

omg i was potentially right!

[sage flicker]

hmm. so the smoke candles would benefit us, because it keeps us from scaring the crickets? so NOT scaring them is best?

[lyric night]

no, crickets being scared or not doesn't matter

[sage flicker]

oh. confused.

oh well then we can just catch them if it doesn't matter. that's all i needed to know

[neat compass]

I always had decent luck catching the RTB and I noticed a real difference when I was getting the blue butterflies out of the way vs when I ignored them. It was annoying to waste the smoke bombs on them, but I always found the RTB faster when I did it that way.

[lyric night]

yeah its definitely noticeable and also explains why its easier to catch a RTB around 3am when everything spawns in

[sage flicker]

yeah there's conflicting responses, i'm still confused

[neat compass]

No I would actually catch them because I don’t think there’s a way to scare blue butterflies away, little menaces lol

[lyric night]

catching blue butterflies, yes, good
catching/scaring crickets, doesn't matter

[fiery perch]

And to expand on it a bit better:

Most likely, people say to scare the crickets because it's.. idk about easier, but it saves bombs.

It does not matter if you catch or scare them!

[neat compass]

The way I see it is each time you catch a blue butterfly, you’re creating a chance for an RTB to spawn in its place. That’s an overly simplified way of looking at it but hopefully that sort of makes sense

[sage flicker]

lol. so.. catch everything end of story

[fiery perch]

But you 100% want to catch the blue butterflies to make sure you get RTB's up.

But yes, since you mentioned you like to catch everything: Yes, that is good

TY again btw, Tiny

[sage flicker]

Okay. coolio. Thank you wonderful Palians!

[neat compass]

In Tiny we trust

[lyric night]

would be nice if s6 would just do a "tip to catch rtbs" social media post or something
like "Auni's tip for the rtb: make sure to catch all the blues so u can have a higher chance to get the rainbow" an official confirmation
bcs S6 knows (should know lol) how their bug spawns etc. work

was surprised that we only had one post after the patch, but they have not that much to post anyways

[fiery perch]

And, sorry about the ping btw Tiny, but didn't want to accidentally say something incorrect and I figured you understood that info more than I... (Plus, like i said, was in a Comp Marvel Rivals match at the time) So I was like "I'mma tag Tiny in. I'm sure it's fiine"

[lyric night]

no worries, ping me whenever u like
I'm just admiring phainon and castorice atm anyways so not that busy

[lethal granite]

s6 seems to value secrecy, to the point of frustration for a lot of folks

[fiery perch]

Super valid And I was over here, saying aloud to my friend mid-marvel rivals match, "Hold on, I'm thinking and replying about RTB spawns. I'll heal you in a moment, don't perish."

[lethal granite]

don’t perish

i love this

[fiery perch]

Listen, in my mind, if I tell them not to perish, then it's their fault if they do. Not mine, even though I'm alt-tabbed replying to somebody on discord

I honestly do that too often. I'll be playing games, then have to take a break or a few moments, to respond to someone in paliacord to help out.

[lethal granite]

i just love that you used “perish” instead of “die”. it’s so much more… fancy and unexpected.

[fiery perch]

I feel like it sounds more menacing sometimes

[lethal granite]

i can see how it would but i read it as fancy

[neat compass]

Fancy and menacing, a powerful combo

[lethal granite]

i get that a lot 💅

[worn snow]

okay, it wasn't about palia (like TOOOTALLY different world) but it had hassain in it along with hodari. i feel like it's important for me to note i have never been interested in either of these characters?

we're in the future (but we dont know we're in the future exactly, it's important later though.)

hodari and hassain and i are on a spaceship which crashes and the rest of the crew dies, we get stranded on this train-spaceship on a planet named hassain. hassain doesn't find it funny (figures) but hodari and i giggle about it. it's important later.

these scary aliens come and blow everything up, including our stranded ship, and what's left of planet hassain. which has already been devastated by climate change on the planet, so like, there's not much life there in the first place, (no intelligent life) but in pursuit of us three the aliens are just burning everything down.

my leg is hurt and hodari gets all "you're the weakest link eyore and you're a girl blah blah blah" (okay? misogynistic much?? i know survival skills.) the three of us, though, decide to try and farm and make a shelter.

it works pretty well for a while, we also like hunt n stuff.

aliens come back, destroy everything but don't get us, in pursuit of us we find out that planet hassain wasn't just a coincidence, hassain rightfully made and ruled this planet but had his memories wiped and was sent to the future so he would never find out bc the devastation would happen after.

but like, now that he knows he got to rule the planet and whatever which is why they didn't want him to find out.

the last i remember was one of the aliens who tried to kill me feeding me grapes. such a strange dream 😭😭

[fallow saffron]

That is an entire movie!
The alien feeding you grapes

[timid sage]

Someone pls tell me how I’ve caught nearly 10 ancient fish before a single kilima ray im going insaneEEEEEUH it’s the last thing I need for the night temple and im going to cry and throw up and cry

[desert lotus]

what does spampot mean

[hollow crescent]

it’s the hot pot game in the underground, but instead of playing while thinking of what you need for pairs, ppl just hit the space (or whatever is draw) button quickly to get the game over with so they can have more games within the time hot pot is active

[desert lotus]

ohhhhh

[hollow crescent]

if you don’t want to be at a table that does it usually they announce which ones are doing that

or you can ask so you can avoid/join

[worn snow]

[edgy marten]

hi guys im 2months now playing palia, and i wonder if u can build more soil for crops on other plot? or does it count each player only can have max 9 tiles? and for crafting licenses, does it reset to 0 again on another plot?

[hard basin]

Those are the limits you can have for 9 crop plots and 30 crafting stations per player. Said crop plot and station can be placed spread among the plot but the count stays the same, no reset on the new plot.

[edgy marten]

ok ty for the fast response!
i thought i could make more money while im away with crops & preserve jar

[sand bear]

Does it work? From what I understand, you end up with the same hand you started. Does the game end in a specific amount of rounds?

[vivid oar]

It auto ends in 16 rounds usually if everyone just spams and everyone gets 1 token

[celest maple]

I've come to the realization that I will probably not get a rainbow butterfly plushie until elderwoods opens up.. lol.. everyone will flock there but I'll be over in bahari..

[simple iron]

hey guys, is it possible to catch the damn butterfly later in the day if you're catching all the blue ones? and is it better to stay in one area and wait for them to respawn or run around the whole map?

[slow dragon]

Are they ever gonna fix that problem of the trees counting as items on other plots as well? Cause like...

[signal kayak]

they might, but probably not

[slow dragon]

Sad times, I wanna make a plot with them because i have so many and they take up so much storage space but then they just ruin my other plots

[dull crow]

It spawns from 03 am to 06 pm so like the whole day from morning to evening

[azure delta]

So they do spawn until 6 pm if you have lures. We did a server run (truthfully I see no merit in this and just coincidence but people think we get more RTBs if the grove spawns one) but we had a grove spawn twice with RTBs. We had 4 lures up in the middle of Pulsewater Plains from 3am to 6pm. I don't believe we had any RTBs spawn naturally besides the grove ones but I don't count those. These are the results from that server run. It really is up to RNG. I've done 20 lures in a day and only got 2-3 RTBs. Maybe had 1 or 2 runs where it's been 20+.

They spawned pretty consistent from 3am to 6pm on that run but typical average seems to be the 2-3 throughout the entire time.

If you can, I suggest finding a lure party. Here are some of my guildies results from joining other lure parties.

For clarification, these are some of the top runs I've seen from the people I play with and myself since the RTB plushie was released. These are out of the norm for typical lure parties.

[strong lion]

Advice PLS: What should I be doing with the excess produce I know I won't use /cook with and don't have room to store?
Sell it raw, seed it, jam it, something else? What do yall do?

[bold snow]

Jam it and then sell it

[hollow crescent]

iirc it depends on the item, some are better to sell as seeds others as jams so you’d have to check xD

[normal saddle]

Seed up to a stack of them to have a good backlog of seeds to work with, jam the stars, cook with the non starred if possible since they have the possiblility to become starred and increase the price. If you don't want to cook then just jam it. For cotton, wheat, and rice. turn them into starred seeds since those sell good too. If you have extra apples you don't jam, make some starred or regular saplings. They sell well

Veggies can also be put in glow worm farms for tidy profit. Despite what the game says, don't do fruit. You might end us losing possible profits that way

[stiff crescent]

Does anyone know if there a bug on switch? When you First begin with Palia. She is still waiting for kenli for stopping by

Can anyone help? And what to do?

[normal saddle]

lol, oof

[strong lion]

Thank you so much!

[normal saddle]

and the bug thing, there should be a chat with a butterfly emoji at the bottom says "issues-disscussion" that would be better suited to help you.

dont know how to link the chat

[normal saddle]

No prob, bob

[waxen mauve]

I wish apple trees didn't have to be planted on plots

It's such an incredible waste of space and not worth it to me

[normal saddle]

ugh, same. Although I think it's a balance thing so people just don't have a whole grove of fruit to print money with

[waxen mauve]

The amount this game is determined to manufacture scarcity never ceases to amaze and frustrate me, lol

[normal saddle]

I don't know all that goes into game balancing, so I just trust in whoever is doing it and complain about the drop and spawn rates on the rainbow tipped. The fact it's not almost guaranteed for your first 5 bugs, for such a rare critter that is easily spooked in a highly populated area, is criminal. So salty about that.

[waxen mauve]

I don't see the need to do that kind of balancing in a game that isn't competitive and is, at least so they tell us, supposed to be a cozy community game, lol

If people decided to turn apples into a money making machine the worst that happens is those people manage to buy some stuff quicker than other people

[rare pine]

I'm late but what's a lure party?

[olive carbon]

You can also get other nameplates by

• visiting other people's plots via the tour board for tour tickets, one way is through weekly achievements- you can buy several nameplates on the tour board shop with these tickets as well as jukeboxes, wallpapers, and floorings
• you can gain a tea/coffee nameplate by continuing to tour other people's plots, there's an achievement you can track all the way at the bottom of the accomplishment tab- you unlock the first tier of that nameplate at level 3 of that achievement
• finishing the main storyline
• when the maji market returns, there's a market themed nameplate
• there's also a seasonally available Luna New Year nameplate, that will come back as a new variation most likely next year when LNY returns (Jan/Feb)

Oh that's my bad, I read it wrong! But yes, the tour system is busted and hard to make work as a normal player. The going recommendation is to save up enough tour tickets to promote your plot 3-4 times a week to get enough votes for all tiers of what nameplate you want, coupled with trying to time your promotion hours to times with higher average player numbers. It ends up becoming a part time job

You can ask around for the home tour voting communities too, someone in #🏡│decor might be able to direct you to some (if they know of a discord they will have to dm you about it since you can't promote outside servers here)

[inner birch]

Hey hello! I'm new at the game and I want to buy a costume to my character, what is the cheaper and coolest costume? I'm from Brazil so is a little expensive most of them but I want one sm whiteout spending so much for me hahah

[loud axle]

Like Ciri said they're pretty expensive due to the conversion rate, I would also just wait a bit if you're new to make sure the game is something you'll stick with for awhile rather than jumping the gun too early.

A lot of people get burnt out within a few hours.

[inner birch]

Ooooh thank youuuu, Palia community is amazing ✨

[austere vector]

soooo can someone explain to me why i can't shop at badruu?

[inner birch]

Nice way to think about it, tysm too! 💖

[waxen mauve]

what's happening when you try?

[austere vector]

i just says u dont have acces to hos store

[waxen mauve]

if you're new to the game you might have some quest lines you have to finish before you can access certain stores, like leveling your farming to lvl 2

[austere vector]

yea i have not really done my farming since i thought i was not that impactfull

[waxen mauve]

farming is very helpful! you can make coins pretty reliably that way, and it will also be useful for cooking when you get to that point. plus, you get access to stuff like Badruu's store, and there are some quest lines that require you to farm to complete

[molten flower]

Does anyone know if there is an issue with nameplates? I equipped mine, but it doesn't show on my character, or at the top left of my screen.

I'm also not able to see anyone else's names on their nameplates, just the design. I'm on PC, so I'm not sure why it's not working.

[wary mesa]

Is there a roadmap for the future of the game?

[brisk spruce]

they claim they'll release one around the time Elderwoods comes out, but this company loves keeping everything a secret so... I guess "not for now, maybe in the future"?

[loud axle]

I'll be curious to see what the roadmap ends up being. They should be vague for sure, but I'm worried with S6 that's gonna be... super vague.

[hollow crescent]

just see on everything

[dawn warren]

I love customization, but flares always seem the same few colours, i would love to see custom colours and maybe obtainable effects too!

[real folio]

Im confused. Grove ones?

[royal crag]

does anyone know if there is a way for me to put that on there? <3

[keen stone]

U can either obstacle flick or put it on ground, do the second row, ghost it away and put it there so it jumps back

[royal crag]

how do you ghost it away?

[keen stone]

Okay so first u place the first row I marked on the pic on the ground.
Then u put the second row on it normally (for all sides). After that u take the second row and move them somewhere out of the way (NOT placing!). While holding it u press any key in ur hotbar (1-8) where a placeable item is. Second row should now be on the ground and if u move the first row back where it was in beginning and place it there, the second row will snap back on the first row.

[keen stone]

it looks like this. I used key 5 with the wood wall to ghost it.

[tiny cave]

I was going to say there's a setting to turn off or on seeing your own nameplate, but it shouldn't affect other players' nameplates, or the top left of your screen. But maybe fiddling around with that setting might fix it?

[royal crag]

thank you so much for all the help! so while just holding the item, pressing any key 1-8 will make it go on the ground? cause i'm pressing and nothing happens

[keen stone]

u need to have a placeable item on that key u use and it needs to be able to place it there but yes instead of placing u just press the key with the item

[molten flower]

Yeah, I'm going to have to go into my settings to figure it out. Someone else suggested I might accidently have streamer mode on. Hopefully I figure it out, haha. Thanks for your help!

[royal crag]

OMG IT WORKED!!! thank you so so so much <3

[keen stone]

awesome!!! glad it worked

[broken ginkgo]

There is a giant red patch on my building grid preventing me from putting my garden back where it was. Any helpful ideas. I need help🤣

Maji Market will be running for a week, every four weeks.

From Patch 0.188 Notes:

The recurring traditional Maji Market will return in March.

[devout crypt]

Anyone else notice that the autumn stuff is back again?

[lyric night]

yeah seems to be on NA/APAC servers apparently
the servertime is messed up for whatever reason

[swift token]

I'm happy about it, lol. 🤭

I just came back from break and missed the autumn stuff in front of Zeki's store, lol.

Are there any other season items I should go look for?

Apparently it's only some servers??? I had to server sync with someone to see it.

[lyric night]

yeah its all weird, some server instances have fall, some don't

[torn ember]

Also Zeki is STILL wearing his Winterlights outfit

[agile stream]

Oh true, he is wearing this in mine but no fall.

[fast sonnet]

Huh. I guess we had fake spring and it is now autumn again

Well at least it matches my house plot now 😂

[grizzled mist]

You will never guess what comes next! None of us will. I don't think S6 is even sure.

No its just one account per char. So youll need to make a second account for your alt

[smoky ingot]

Hear me out, let us grow pumpkins.... and have a decor set to craft with them

[little robin]

Could anyone confirm for me? When I submit a plot at the start of the week, is my plot captured as is and that's it? Or does what's submitted to House Tours update as I change any decor through out the week?

[olive carbon]

It updates as you work on it to the board, you just can't change the plot selected nor the name of the plot once submitted.

[rain scroll]

ik we can trade plushies and stickers but will we be able to trade things? like furniture and other stuff?

[signal kayak]

we will probably get pumpkins in the future, probably after elderwoods release as the icon for "any vegetable" during cooking recipes shows them

[odd lagoon]

Made a palia character tierlist
major spoilers

[agile stream]

Chayne in C

Zeki in S agreed

[grand parcel]

I saw this on the other side of the wall on my main house plot - i wonder if at some point we will have access to this. Ain't no way they'd put so much work into adding this if it were just deco.

At the beginning for me it was just a field, and the spot to look through was pretty small. Recently I saw that the spot to look through has gotten bigger, and then I noticed the boardwalk, climbed up a bit to see over the wall and saw that today

[brisk spruce]

it's been there for years

[dire kraken]

been inactive for a while, is it possible to buy outfit parts separately now?

[lyric night]

nope
doubt that will ever happen honestly

[odd lagoon]

Her story is the most interesting to me

Einar is ok but he’s so boring??? to me I’m at level 4 relationship. I read all the dialogue and he feels somewhat boring with 75% backstory. 😭

[weak wigeon]

My zeki thing said x2 daily bonus, is it because i forgot to claim yesterday or because there's an actual bonus going on?

[mint sierra]

it is because you missed a day of login

[weak wigeon]

ohhh

(i missed two, i'm glad i could get one back)

[mint sierra]

but try not to miss more than 2 days, you will forfeit coins for more days missed.

You receive 60 coins , if you login 2nd day, after having skipped one day.

[weak wigeon]

I won't now! I've been doing pretty well with daily login (which is rare in me cause i'm an adhd mess lol) but yesterday and the day before were busy days for me and i completely forgot 😦 I actually opened the game but didn't get in a server haha

[weak wigeon]

I'm glad they have this, i haven't seen any game doing it

[mint sierra]

This is the notification you would have recieved , for skipping one day, login 2nd day

[weak wigeon]

yes that's what i got

maybe i logged in the other day then, i'm pretty sure i didnt but idk

i'll set an alarm for this stuff heh

[mint sierra]

Yes, it is pretty fair. the ZLC rules are pretty clear here for full detail and info about the ZLC https://palia.com/news/patch-188

[weak wigeon]

nice nice 😄

I think it's also fair they only stack to 60 because people would take advantage of it if it stacked more and the whole daily login purpose would be pointless then. But it's super nice they give you a second chance in case you can't one day

[mint sierra]

I suppose it is a way to keep players active, if you do not have time to play, login for a quick 2 mins, claim and close out of game, which I honestly find myself doing as well 🙂

How come you have a 81 day membership.... I was under the impression that we could only have a maximum of 30 at a time.... how many memberships can we buy at once?

[lyric night]

up to 180 days at once, so 6

[mint sierra]

You can purchase a max of 6 x ZLC
180 days is the cap at any given time, once you finish 30 day period, you can then again purchase another ZLC of 30days to top up

[tranquil musk]

Mine counted down from 30 days and I think I have 6 days left..... Yours show you have 81 days left.... I don't understand....

[mint sierra]

I initially purchased 4 x ZLC

That as well is not an updated pic.. I recently topped up with another ZLC.

[tranquil musk]

Oh ok so I can purchase more than 30 days at a time..... I did not know that... I was waiting for the 30 day period to run out before purchasing more.... Thank you...

[mint sierra]

Correct.

For full detail info on zeki loyalty club read notes herehttps://palia.com/news/patch-188

[tranquil musk]

I did I just misunderstood.... but I am glad now I can buy more.... I'm glad thanks for explaining

[tranquil musk]

I will run away as fast as possible and disappear.

[weak wigeon]

yes, maximum of 6!

it's nmice cause you get the 425 at the moment, so if you're missing some for an outfit you want, instead of just buying coins you can buy that and extend it

i did it with the mushroom outfit, i needed like 300 coins and its nice i could purchase that cause i keep saving more and more

I hope they don't put an outfit i really want on sale before i can save enough tho, hahaa

[warm python]

If you mean ZLC, its actually a very common feature in gacha games

I'm paying a few bucks in Nikki for the exact equivalent of this pass

I imagine S6 got inspired by gachas doing it when they put this together

@dry swift I havent seen you in a bit here but I just wanted to let you know that I started playing NMS and I cannot stop

[dry swift]

Dude, I'm playing NMS right now LOL

[warm python]

I don't know what sleep is anymore

[dry swift]

It's definitely not helping that I solved how to get my daughter to sleep by herself at night now so I get extra time to game.

Curse you, @fiery perch for recommending us amazing games!

[warm python]

fr fr

[fiery perch]

Sorry not sorry

[dry swift]

Almost 100 hours in and I'm just now trying to build the perfect base and min-max my ship/multi-tool xD

[fiery perch]

I haven't been on it in a hot minute because of MonHunWilds, and I was messing with game demos this weekend!
Buuttt both you and Relika should dm me sometime about how NMS is going.

[dry swift]

Absolutely! We'll have to do a Nexus mission together sometime or something.

[dry swift]

Also on a side note, I noticed that Once Human is giving us permanent servers so I might have to check it out again sometime as that was the biggest reason I stopped playing.

[fiery perch]

Won't say too much cuz I know we're getting a bit too off topic But that's awesome and really cool! I'll have to look at it sometime again in the future too 💛

[dry swift]

Anyways sorry I haven't been on here lately. I guess I'm just having too much fun to remember Palia exists XD

[fallow saffron]

The very first thing I saw when I opened this server

[weak wigeon]

i'm sorry LMAOO

[woeful ore]

Been a while since I played... is there any way to disable the fancy nameplates some people seem to have?

Yeah, I tried to look for that setting. Mine I can, but not others. I don't mind seeing other players names, but I'd rather have that without the decorations.

That's a shame. Those decorations in nameplates are just distracting.

[oak turtle]

question for the players, anyone know if the soil limit gets higher with more levels? or am i stuck with this amount forever bc its super annoying that its not even

[jolly mica]

I thought it was 8?

[fiery perch]

Nope! It's 9, so it makse a larger square. (3 by 3)

[wide moss]

Does anyone know when an update is that is gonna bring more quests and story?

[lyric night]

we will get more main story with elderwood sometime in Q2 this year

[ancient grove]

finally 10 in hunting
...now for bug catching

[edgy marten]

Hi not sure if this is the right channel to ask this, since i dont want to start discussion on home reaction channel, if this week ive got let's say 50 reactions on my plot, will it be reset to 0 on the next week? Or the current reactions will stay?

[modern rock]

the reactions reset to 0 every week, unfortunately

[edgy marten]

i couldnt imagine how im gonna get 500 in a week, then we cant 100% rely on players that need help with votes too, we just have to build attractive plot to attract random player in the server
ty for answering this! now it motivates me to be more creative designing the plot, i really wanna get that fancy nameplate

[modern rock]

unfortunately having an attractive plot is no guarantee of visitors tbh... i don't know how anyone gets 500 unless they're a streamer. apparently featuring your plot by paying tour tickets does help a bit but it's pretty expensive

personally this is one of the features in the game i just ignore because i think it's designed terribly.

[edgy marten]

Yeah 150 tickets for 10hr is insane
Guess i should collect them first

For me its like a challenge, and i feel excited! Eventho i still can do only simple and basic glitches, but it's still interesting
The more i dive into palia the more i want learning new decor skills and stuffs, everytime i go on tour i always amazed on how people have many unique way + insane idea to build their plot
I bet theres not many / maybe no other game like this

It makes me want to play and enjoy playing at the fullest

Like damn imagine someday you can build something crazy like this 😆 no one knows

[modern rock]

oh yeah i don't have any problem with decorating itself, i meant i think the nameplate grind is terribly designed admittedly decorating isn't one of my favorite things in the game, but i put quite a lot of effort into my plot (just vanilla techniques tho, too lazy to do glitching)

[edgy marten]

totally agree, first month playing, i learn my first glitch trick then i started to feel dizzy and feels like wanna throw up

[rich swan]

I was freaked out when that happened, I thought I'd broken the deco xD

[opal cypress]

Maji Market will be running for a week, every four weeks.

Currently running from <t:1741075140:f> to <t:1741679940:f>.

[pallid ferry]

pokes head in Hey folks, anything changed in the past week? Pavers still broken, no new drama?

[weak wigeon]

i wish we had fishing spots (starred) in our plot...

[weak wigeon]

don't think so!

[dark moon]

They look like mushrooms

[weak wigeon]

they do hahahaa

but it's doable without broken pavers :p

[lyric night]

some server instances switched to fall and winter for whatever reason the last few days
pavers still broken bcs no patch = no fix
no new drama
maybe next week with the patch preview
but I absolutely expect drama with the patch depending on one factor

[warm python]

I'm laughing at the time traveling server instances

No official word on that I'm assuming yeah?

[warm python]

[neat compass]

I'm more surprised that the market randomly reappeared today

Ooh interesting

[warm python]

Never tbh

[grizzled mist]

Did they?

[lethal granite]

but some NPCs only showing up at market

[west marlin]

How did that even happen

[neat compass]

There was a point where NPCs weren't showing up at the market at all. Maybe the fix was to trap them at the market 💀

[grizzled mist]

Maybe we'll get an unbroken market this year. Maybe.

[warm python]

[alpine cliff]

Why are they so good at breaking this game? I just want to enjoy it 😦

[west marlin]

That's what I wanna know 😂

[arctic viper]

Does anyone know how to get the claw machine tokens?

[dire reef]

Dang 6,000 tickets just for one token....shheewwww that would probably take me all day. @olive carbon thank you for the screenshot.

[arctic viper]

thank you

[olive carbon]

Yeah it's chance up to that 6k on one purchase. Good ol RNG strikes again.

[arctic viper]

and wow yeah either roll that rng or grind those tokens

[midnight grail]

why is this an achievement? this isn't possible

they only spawn about 200 at a time

[signal kayak]

it says total, most likely, it means that playing multiple games will get you the achievement

[midnight grail]

i think that only was my highest total during a single game though

[signal kayak]

no, i mean it keeps a running count of how many chappas you catch, if you catch 10 more the next time you play (and you're in a party it looks like) the total will go up to 32 and so on

[midnight grail]

i don't think i've ever technically done it in a party but somehow it counts because it's a group activty? i'm confused

[signal kayak]

don't know about that, i've stopped playing palia back in september and i rarely ever partied with others since i was on switch. but it also looks like you're hovering over the last slot of the achievement as well, so you'll just have to keep playing and checking the number

[ashen salmon]

is there somewhere to discuss trades?

[gentle tangle]

Where is Hekla she is disappaert ?

[modern rock]

#🤝│trading read and react to the rules post here to post #🤝│trading message

[gentle tangle]

Thanks for your Help ^^

[dreamy haven]

Ok anyone else super frustrated by the fact that you can only have one flair up at a time? As someone who calls out a lot of stuff having to pick what to flare is super frustrating.

Honestly it almost makes me not want to call things out because then I have to pick what to flare and people will get mad if you don't flare the one they care about.

[abstract solstice]

Hey, calling out without a flare is better than not calling imo, at least people still have some idea where things are. The people who get mad at stuff like that are gonna get mad at anything, not worth bothering about. Just do the best you can in any situation

[dreamy haven]

You're not wrong but being able to throw up multiple flares would be super nice it's hard deciding between the heat root the dari cloves and the three pal

Which was the situation I just found myself in

[abstract solstice]

It would be a nice qol upgrade, can't deny that

[dreamy haven]

Yeah for game that wants its players to work cooperatively they make it really hard to do that sometimes

Like they gave us the coordinate grids on the map which is nice but it's still hard for people on switch to call stuff out so if they gave us a way to call out from the map when we mark coordinates that would be a hell of a quality of life

Then here's a quality of life that I don't ever expect to see but would be a hell of an upgrade of the flares changing color based off of what they've been shot at.

Like red for heat root purple for flow tree blue for pallium green for everything else

[signal kayak]

at least you call things out, i just ran around and mined things and let others figure it out. though mostly i did that because i never know how much longer an ore has remaining, don't want to call something out and then a few seconds after the call, the ore disappears

[abstract solstice]

They usually have a sort of effect on them when they're gonna vanish, if it looks normal I'll call it

[west marlin]

I miss appypie

[brisk spruce]

I miss vega

[wide moss]

When are new quests coming 😭😭 I know I remember seeing about a new map but haven’t heard anything since?

[brisk spruce]

still waiting for Maji's glider & Paul Bunyon to get added to the lore

[brisk spruce]

whenever elderwoods gets released, I think they said Q2 most recently?

[wide moss]

Okay I was wondering, what’s Q2?

[brisk spruce]

Q2 means second quarter, so April - June

[small olive]

Palia ping

"ok"

stickers

"Alright but how'd that maintenance go."

[vagrant lotus]

I'm sorry, what? this is a thing happening rn? I just got the sticker ping and came to catch up on the tea 🤣

[opal cypress]

Hekla, Caleri, and Elouisa are currently bugged and are missing from their usual spots.
They can only be found at the Maji Market between 6 PM and 3 AM in-game time.

[wide hound]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neat compass]

I’d like to put my cornucopia on a table. That would be cool

[cinder comet]

Can it not go on a table?? I swear June is on my table.

Swear mine *

[neat compass]

This is their punishment for skipping the market a while back. Now they can never leave the market

[cinder comet]

Oh you know what, it’s on a building block. I made counters out of blocks.

[neat compass]

I haven’t tested it since the most recent patch to be fair, so it’s possible it’s fixed. But haven’t been able to put mine on a surface in a while. BUT I didn’t think to try it on a building block! Thank you for this idea, that will help me cope for now 😂

[dark moon]

Now I need to check my cornucopia

[nimble gulch]

Insect-a-polooza but it's for bug plushies would be wonderful actually

[warm python]

smol indie company tho /j

in all seriousness that would actually help (and the mining polooza idea is cute, game needs more community stuff) but I highly doubt any of that is happening or if they ever are, won't be anytime soon ;;

[mint sierra]

question: Why modification kits with guild medals though ?
that would make it inaccessible to many players that are below level 10 furniture making skill, when modifications kits are already available for 100 gold coins at Tish Register at Furniture store

[polar elbow]

as one of the jaded players, giving me a free palcat is not what I want. I want earnable rewards that aren't isolated to your housing plot.
I want an earnable pet, not because I want a pet, but because I want pets to be able to have actual gameplay features instead of just being a purely cosmetic 'extra' following your character. As long as they are exclusive to the premium store, they can never be anything but a cosmetic.
I want earnable cosmetics, not because I want to play dress up, but because I want to a way to visually show off my accomplishments without having to basically beg people to visit my plot (aka trophy room).

[brisk spruce]

they refuse to understand the "why", which is pretty obvious from stickers being earned randomly and not from specific activities per sticker. which is a shame because they're tradeable, so it wouldn't have even left anyone out if the player chooses to skip certain skills

[mint sierra]

I see, so you meant as an extra in guild store, understood now.. no reason why they can't add that, even though I guess I 100 gold coin is cheap .. much cheaper than the prices for silk and leather for palians.

I'm hoping they add the new flowers to Auni store as well.. There a many little changes that can enhance the game.

Yes they really need to make some little updates.

So many aspects of the game need attention, and it is taking palian light years to do it.. but hopefully even the small things get updated by the next patch.

[polar elbow]

the TLDR is, I want the game to feel rewarding for people who aren't 100% focused on home decor, too.

right now, (almost) every single earnable in palia that others can actually see is some form of decor or thing you place on your housing plot, with very few exceptions (nameplates, tools, fishing bobbers, and maybe stickers I guess?)
but all of those 'exceptions' aren't really satisfying, at least to me, for their own reasons:
-nameplates so far have largely been event specific or just some form of vote begging/trading, and as a whole, fail to let you show off more specific accomplishments or skills
-fishing bobbers are super tiny and cannot be seen except for when you actively have a line cast, + there aren't enough that are actually earned through fishing accomplishments, the only one I could even say come close are the ones you get through bundles
-stickers are just randomly earned through tasks, and have no relation to the actual skills you're using to obtain them. They might have felt like a way to show off accomplishments if you could, say, obtain a ruby sticker by getting an actual ruby through mining, but it doesnt work like that so 🤷

yeah the short of it is, I don't really play palia anymore because I'm not a huge fan of home decor, but outside of home decor there's virtually nothing that you can earn and show off, so I just don't feel any drive to play because the game isn't offering me anything I'd want to play for

[warm python]

Just wait, if Nikki gets housing /hj

But yeah Tarina's got the long and short of it. aside from like All The Issues I have, I have no urge to play cause I don't have anything to work towards that isn't just housing or RNG plushies

and the stickers really feel like a slap to the face when it came to being like "here, cosmetics you can earn!" like bruh, really?

wait a sec Nikki is getting housing at some point, I missed the official mention of it

[fiery perch]

👀 I thought you knew this already!!

[warm python]

I mean I knew unofficially but

I missed that they actually discussed it on a stream LOL

[fiery perch]

OOH I see, that makes sense

[loud axle]

Hi yes very late to the party but very much this

[signal kayak]

late to the party, but yes, when nikki gets housing, palia will have no chance on ps5 if/when they decide to go to the other consoles imho

[golden knot]

Anyone else's game crashing?

[noble stratus]

hasppen to me every 2 hours ,
so great connection have palia servers with my location

[vivid oar]

So much this. The game NEEDS earnable things to show of progress/accomplishments out in the world. Its a big incentive for people to play, keep them engaged, make them want to come online once quests are done, or give them something to do when they just dont feel like questing. And everything you said about pets I have been saying since they came out, they are just plushies that are attached to you now, having just a single EARNABLE (not more stuff just given to us for the love of god) pet opens up so many gameplay possibilities, and if pets have a function, people who werent into buying a cool looking one before might actually think about it

[polar elbow]

One of my favorite things in MMOs is spotting really cool looking people, seeing their outfit/pet/mount, and being like "woah that looks awesome, I want that too, how do I get it?" and then, just like that, having a new goal to work towards ingame. If I feel bored and want to find something new to do in other online games, I can literally just people-watch until I see someone that's showing off something I like, and find a new goal to chase as a result.
Palia's stance of paywalling 99.9% of non-default character cosmetics kills that concept entirely.
I have no reason to people-watch to find new goals when no one can show off anything but default items and cash shop items.
I get that there needs to be a cash shop, being a f2p game at all, but paywalling cosmetics to the degree that they have, has effectively denied people the chance to have any sort of visual progression tied to the character themselves- outside of nameplates, there is no way for a longtime player of 2000+ hours to visually set themselves apart from someone who's only played for 10 minutes and THAT is the problem.

[lyric night]

will be interesting how the expansion of clothing options for f2p will look like in the end even if its "not super soon" like Wizardcrab mentioned
if its just a few fits thrown into the start clothings or if they actually aim for earnable outfits

[bold snow]

Honestly even if they made it quest rewards as gifts from villages like a Hassian giving a coat or blanket as a romance gift or Nai'o giving you a pair of boots to learn how to ride riffrocs(no idea if im spelling that right)

itd be a better way to show your characters relationship to the villagers

cause like, pins arent visible to other players that I know of and it kinda seems like Shepps are completely irreverent after your residental acceptance ceremony

[scarlet hazel]

so i havent checked in here in a bit and... the only login reward is stickers...

[olive carbon]

It's actually only one (1) sticker this time

[scarlet hazel]

well guess im not looking in this discord unless i suddenly get a palia kick or elderwoods comes out. or a patch happens...

[waxen mauve]

Yeah, I haven't played since the VFX debacle in this chat, and don't plan on playing until and unless the roadmap comes out with a clear look at what accessibility issues are being addressed

[wispy lance]

The roadmap will likely come AFTER Elderwoods. (At least that's what I remember they said) So make sure you check here from time to time.

[waxen mauve]

I was told before, but I'm not surprised to hear that probably isn't true.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if EW gets dropped as paid dlc

It would follow the current model of "it's free to play the base game"

[wispy lance]

The new map will be free to play, and I don't think that will change.

[waxen mauve]

That's good to know! It's also honestly surprising given how much else has been monetized in this game.

[scarlet hazel]

its free for now but who knows what theyre planning

[waxen mauve]

Don't give them ideas

[scarlet hazel]

theyve monitized stickers. it really isnt far fetched that they could end up monitizing maps too

[waxen mauve]

Yeah, I'm just saying my trust is gone and my faith has waned, lol. They've monetized TONS that shouldn't be.

[scarlet hazel]

yeah. like most of the games i play give you different housing skins for ingame currency or resource grinding. needing to take out an wallet for those and have no alternatives just stings

ik i keep bringing this up but early 2000s games and all have better monitization then palia does

[waxen mauve]

I have so many palia coins and focus and guild points and nothing to spend it on bc there's a plateau in the game for content in general.

Isn't it just a new map and like...a new huntable?

That's ZLC I was asking about EW sorry

[wispy lance]

It has new creatures, one was revealed a little bit in the last dev log. And new flora as well since we can see from the picture. It was announced new quests as well (but this is obvious 😅)

Let's not get too off topic with other games please.

[waxen mauve]

Wait are we not supposed to talk about other games in here?

I wasn't aware this was a rule, tho

[wispy lance]

Oh! Sorry I'm not sure what ZLC is, though it was another game?

Oh! Ok didn't notice that abbreviation before 😅

[waxen mauve]

Weird, I see folks talking about other games in here all the time and haven't seen anyone get warned about it before. News to me.

[wispy lance]

The channels tends to go often off topic.

[raven orbit]

You're allowed to talk about other games if referencing them in relation to Palia. Like saying that you wish Palia had X feature from Y game

[waxen mauve]

But to be clear, we are not allowed to talk about other games unless in this context? Not being a brat, just trying to understand what seems to be an unwritten (or at least I can't find where it's written) rule

[scarlet hazel]

honestly with how little content palia has, its so hard to talk about to consistently without getting bored out of my mind

[fallow saffron]

[polar elbow]

I mean no offense by saying this kira, but perhaps it might be a good idea to ask someone what an abbreviation means before assuming they're going off topic 😅

[raven orbit]

From my understanding, and based on the way other mods have spoken in the past - exactly. /gen

[scarlet hazel]

like i get it but... please. were in a bad content drought...

[waxen mauve]

Yikes. Good to know.

[scarlet hazel]

there's just nothing to talk about at all 😔

[waxen mauve]

Guess so.

[fallow saffron]

Agreed. I think it’s why their discord goes quite often. Used to be so much more active here when there was new content being added /:

[scarlet hazel]

yeah. until elderwoods comes out, there's nothing to talk about that hasn't been said before a thousand times

[fallow saffron]

Hiii
I am okay! Just had a blueberry muffin for breakfast how are you doing? :o

[pulsar meteor]

generally it's the aim, yeah. if you want to discourse about other games at length, folks should generally move it to #💬│off-topic-chat

[waxen mauve]

Welp, back to EW: will there be new rewards as well as things to obtain/goals to work toward aside from quest objectives? Sorry if this seems like something that should be obvious.

[waxen mauve]

Thanks for linking that, I couldn't find it in the channel list at all, I guess it's not a default.

[raven orbit]

Can't say for sure, honestly, but I don't think it will be that different than Kilima and Bahari. Looks wise it will, but I think it's just going to add maybe a new npc or two, a new huntable, and a few new foragables. I would be heavily surprised if it added anything new mechanics wise

[wispy lance]

Everything I know is already written in the mod blog 😅. We don't know more than what you guys know.

[waxen mauve]

This is what I was looking for, tbh. If no new mechanics, i can't imagine it's going to hold people's attention for long

[fallow saffron]

It’ll give us more plushies

[waxen mauve]

I don't know what this is or where to find it, so you probably still know more than me

[raven orbit]

I'm holding out hope that maybe they have PVE in a more detailed way, but I don't think they will. Plus I don't think I want them adding any new mechanics when the current ones are both underdeveloped and wildly inaccessible /gen

[hollow crescent]

nooooo (unless we talking about ||cardcaptor sakura type pets||

[wispy lance]

Ty 🥰. Was also getting the link, I'm a bit slow cooking atm xd

[pulsar meteor]

i could see a new pet that was a ||deck of cards, which shuffled the facing card when you did the pet trick||

[raven orbit]

Yess!! I'm curious what it will be used for

[waxen mauve]

Thanks, that makes sense why I couldn't find it lol. I feel like this tells me less than was said on this chat, but hey, it's something XD

[fallow saffron]

#💬│palia-discussions message

[wispy lance]

There is one more blog, you can find it if u scroll up in news

[hollow crescent]

momo just appears

[pulsar meteor]

unfortunately the S6 team holds info very tightly, so we just don't know what's coming until potentially the patch where it drops

[fallow saffron]

Would be nice to see some “sneak peeks” or “behind the scenes” stuff for elderwoods

[hollow crescent]

yes throw some concept arts or etc in the https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/850062378926473227

[waxen mauve]

I found the one from 6 months back that said there would be new gameplay elements, so it would be cool if that actually happens. Ofc it also said we'd get new gameplay features in between then and now 😅

[raven orbit]

the new gameplay element but its just another wheel for plushie rng

[hollow crescent]

all up in the air at this point

[waxen mauve]

This part

[polar elbow]

my worry is that elderwoods might just end up being "more of the same"- just more collectables without adding any new gameplay elements
I would love to be proven wrong, but even if chat stickers are technically a new gameplay element they still just feel like "more collectables" at their core 😓

[pulsar meteor]

i thought we'd gotten a few more 'found item' quests in the past six months, too

[hollow crescent]

the ones that are || in some of their rooms, and by tamala’s||

[raven orbit]

Hmm...I wonder how far into Q2 Elderwoods will release then. It doesn't feel like we've got any new gameplay features, unless they're counting plushies for some reason

[fallow saffron]

[hushed ermine]

why we collect plushies?

[warm python]

Lol, lmao

[umbral lynx]

CCS was mentioned I was delayed summoned

[hollow crescent]

from my understanding what we have know is kinda how the game is going to be played so “more of the same” is kinda what i expect, i think adding animals that do different things than “run away or stay still” would be neat, and if we get other tools/skills too can only wait to see what they hint at cuz i don’t expect them right off the bat

||zeki has a book in the underground, caleri i think has one, chayne, there’s some from the rummage piles, there’s one on the way to tamala’s if you go from the plot exit|| prob others but idk atm

[waxen mauve]

Yeah, I don't think any new gameplay features have been added unless we're counting the hot pot in the maji market

I would consider gameplay features to be like....new ways of playing the game, new things to work on??

[warm python]

Same

[fallow saffron]

Hmm if you mean like, whats the reason for the plushies? They are collectibles. My guess is that S6 saw that some players liked plushies a bit, and just put them everywhere lol I personally think the plushies are a way to stall the game and keep players “interested” in something to obtain, since there’s no new content

[waxen mauve]

Like not even new content but "gameplay features" to me is like, farming, crafting, cooking. A new one would be like, making dyes.

Not understanding what is meant by this is a struggle

[polar elbow]

A new skill would be something different/new, to me, at least, depending on how it's implemented
but my fear is moreso that the gameplay loop remains firmly stuck in "collectable home decor" as the only real 'endgame'

[pulsar meteor]

i do wish we'd get some calibration check-ins, where either they come back 6 months later and point to what they meant, or even explicitly saying 'hey this is what we were teasing in the blog' when they put something in the patch notes, otherwise yeah it's all just guesswork

[waxen mauve]

Honestly yes.

[fallow saffron]

Same. Sometimes I wonder if how Palia is currently will be just.. 90% of the final game if that makes sense

[waxen mauve]

Like it would be great if we just got some kind of checkup to say "hey this is a thing we promised but haven't been able to follow up on bc x y z, but it's still in the works or it's being scrapped" or whatever

[midnight flame]

I will say I'm just so disappointed in the state of this game and the lack of comms from the dev team (community manager, when?). I've been in this discord since the days when they were drip-feed releasing the concept art for characters, before it ever released, and it's so disheartening to have put hundreds of hours into this game on steam and lord only knows how many in the original downloadable file, only to be treated like a pinata they can hit with a new premium outfit every few weeks in the hopes I'll spit out money.

[warm python]

Honestly I still hold by the opinion that this is the "final" game and the beta label is the equivalent of games on steam that have themselves in early access for like 5-10 years

Nothings being added or fixed that aren't things normally added or fixed to a live service game

In fact I see LESS being done with the game than games already in/past 1.0

[waxen mauve]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if nothing really changes. Just more new skins, more new plushies, more new things to spend real money on.

[hushed ermine]

if it's true, i will quit this b******t

[pulsar meteor]

i don't think it was their plan initially, but i do think it's the reality now

[midnight flame]

Just wait until they figure out ||they can add unique plushies or dyepacks for clothing/furniture to the premium shop||

[warm python]

Their lack of communication with the player base is a huge "this isn't actually a beta, is it?" piece of evidence too. I was playtesting another online game recently that was in beta, and although it wasn't to my taste, there was a ton of feedback threads/surveys/interaction between devs and players/etcetc

And it was SUCH a stark difference. Because both are online games in beta. But one actually acts like it and one is using it as a smokescreen

[scarlet hazel]

yeah. idk how many are even going to glance at elderwoods since the company... is not too great. and you'd think things would be a lot smoother considering the smaller playerbase

[pulsar meteor]

i know Daybreak has a certain Reputation, but i'm hopeful they'll bring enough direction to the studio to course correct. especially if elderwoods = 1.0, they're going to have to move real quickly after that on stuff they've been neglecting

[warm python]

Hell even Nikki does frequent surveys they act upon feedback from and that games in full release

Meanwhile Palia... Lol

S6 doesn't even want to say the game is beta on storefronts so it they don't wanna say it neither will I

[polar elbow]

To add to my own post here, I'm going to make a reference to FFXIV (this is not meant to turn into a conversation about XIV, this is simply using that game to provide examples)
All forms of gameplay in XIV, whether it be gathering, crafting, combat, questing, or even just playing minigames... they all award a variety of earnables. So the activities have something for everyone.

Let's use fishing as an example. Fishing in XIV can get you multiple outfits, it can get you exclusive mounts, it can give you pets, if you have a house, you can display prints of fish as paintings or even display them in aquariums. If you like collecting titles to display next to your name, it has those too! If you don't care for fishing, and would rather just battle, well fish can be used to cook foods that give you combat buffs too.
No matter what your personal endgame goals might be, that one skill has something for everyone.

In Palia, all skills only exist to provide rewards for a single endgame, aka home decor. There is nothing to earn for those who want to wear their accomplishments on their characters, or collect companions, etc. Focus buffs are a thing, but it feels meaningless when leveling doesn't actually do anything meaningful past level 10.

[midnight flame]

Even when we had a Dev in here answering questions the other night, he couldn't tell us whether they were even working on accessibility, which is majorly important to a huge chunk of the playerbase. Let alone all the bugs or new content heaven forbid. That's just... poor. Absolutely unacceptable lack of comms. I quit it that night 😦 haven't logged in since and absolutely won't until they figure out how to act.

[warm python]

It's okay Tarina I'll turn it into a convo about FFXIV /j

I've been slacking on my quota lately

[jolly mica]

Literally JUST took Palia off my Switch a few days ago

[pulsar meteor]

haha. it's gotten better over time, they oversaw the closing of a fair number of games which weren't making money any more. but they have also found a few games their perfect balanced niche of players and development, like DDO and LotRO, which would otherwise have died ages ago

i'm hoping that they can stabilize Palia to join the ranks of the latter, because i don't wanna lose Tish

[scarlet hazel]

tbh i have more hope in a private server then daybreak

[hollow crescent]

hugs all the palia npcs we can’t lose them now

[warm python]

I'm shocked LotRO is still going (though happy cause I have a lot of good memories associated with it) but no idea on the current quality/state of things

[hollow crescent]

my sis kinda plays it iiirc says it’s ok

[opal cypress]

Hekla, Caleri, and Elouisa are currently bugged and are missing from their usual spots.
They can only be found at the Maji Market between 6 PM and 3 AM in-game time.

[waxen mauve]

Counting on a company that specializes in games dying to keep a game from dying is interesting hopecore 😅

[scarlet hazel]

wait how are they suddenly bugged? there hasnt been an update

[pulsar meteor]

presumably something to do with their event scheduler, like how some shards were suddenly fall or winter out of nowhere

[scarlet hazel]

this games code is beyond spagetti. its something else

[waxen mauve]

They really need a test environment that ISN'T the main servers

[pulsar meteor]

while i don't disagree, i'm not sure it would catch some of this stuff - if there's a conflict between an NPC schedule date and the event date, it just might not show up until that date, no matter where

[waxen mauve]

Maybe, maybe not, but limiting some of the bugs would at least make us feel less like it's a constant stream of bugs

[pulsar meteor]

like that week the market was open but empty, i'm really curious as to whether the NPCs were there the week before or after by mistake

[ivory vessel]

they don't #💬│palia-discussions message

[warm python]

re: what I said before, I literally just got this in my mail in nikki

and this game is in full release

the fact that a game in full release does this and a "beta" game doesn't is WILD

and they actually listen and implement feedback from the surveys, who knew!!

[midnight flame]

yeah I saw this... that's just WILD not to have a test server.

[polar elbow]

The real, unfixable mistake was launching on switch so early- and in doing so effectively made client updates/hotfixes beholden to nintendo's schedule IMHO

[quartz lance]

I actually think nintendo could have pressured them🤔

[warm python]

Yeah, and more experienced. but the point is that they're actually sending these surveys out (and other, smaller games/teams have done the same) and S6 won't do anything of the like

[pulsar meteor]

they used to, but i know the lead survey person (and probably their team) was part of the first wave of layoffs

[warm python]

Beta should be the time you're most communicative with your players to adjust things based on feedback, which is yet another reason I don't consider this game actually in beta

[midnight flame]

IN is about 1000 people and S6 is about 130 people - so yes for sure.

[warm python]

We're strapped into S6's wild ride for better or worse (usually worse...)

[waxen mauve]

We are literally begging for it lol

Like, I'm in a beta for a game that is buggy as HELL but the devs are also extremely responsive and engaged with trying to fix/help/take on constructive criticism and foster an environment that makes players feel listened to

And we've collectively made tons of suggestions as to how Palia could mimic other games in terms of how they engage with their playerbase to create a more positive working relationship with them and nada happens

[west marlin]

I'm still waiting for my other 297 ducks

[waxen mauve]

Coral island's developer diary really makes it that much more frustrating to have so little communication here about what's in production 😦

Like, they don't have multiplayer yet but it's been in the works a while and even still every dev update (which is like 5x/week) has mention of them working on the multiplayer mode

[scarlet hazel]

idk why they dont just... communicate, even a little. its really really odd to me. even daybreak does some communication

[waxen mauve]

Waiting on that CM like...

But honestly they shouldn't wait for a CM to fix this problem.

[west marlin]

Tfw no kitty ears on sale again

[west marlin]

3 CMs didn't give us the level of communication we want idk why we think a new one will

[waxen mauve]

I mean, 3 CMs was better than what we're dealing with now so it's not that I think it will magically fix things but that we need something to improve and communication is one of those things, which is a CM's role

[west marlin]

I just recall communication always being an issue since beta opened

[waxen mauve]

Sure. I'm not saying it hasn't been. But this seems worse to me and some improvement is better than no improvement. I'd rather voice concerns and ask for needed change than do nothing because it won't be perfect. Nothing is ever perfect.

Also this.

And ideally a CM would be championing improved comms and ways to better the engagement between the game team and players

[warm python]

[oak turtle]

erm... THAT aint ME

I closzed the game and tried to reopen but its telling me the games already running lol. ill task manager it, that'll fix it, just kinda funny

also my avatar uses the man body base so idk what's going on there

[wispy lance]

Are you on switch on pc?

[oak turtle]

thank the pheonix im back

[wispy lance]

I thought that maybe switch had some issues because they work on pc.

It should yeah, you can try scrolling around. I personally always get confused in the store 😅

[pulsar meteor]

little late but it's showing active for me - though mine still has last week's featured at the top, but if i scroll to the new ones, it shows the discounts there too

[waxen mauve]

Why can't this be me 😦 petition for glitchfit to be a free skin

[small olive]

Ooo fun a Palia ping

[pulsar meteor]

it threw me at first too, heh

[waxen mauve]

Tbh the shop is so unintuitive to me, it's really difficult to navigate

[warm python]

in before they sell that fit in the cash shop for a meme /j

[weak wigeon]

for a second i thought the last ping was for more friendship quests for those three

[waxen mauve]

My sweet summer child

Yeah, that's great honestly

[weak wigeon]

At this point we're just conformist i guess LOL 😭

[rare pine]

Can we riot passionately talk about the stacks of books in Najuma's treehouse the same way we talked about the ducks? I don't even like decorating but those assets are cool.

[waxen mauve]

There's so many things I would like access to that are clearly in the game but not playerside

Like certain color ways for furniture

[dry swift]

ngl that would be a pretty 🔥 outfit

[waxen mauve]

I'd love it but not for $$$$

[dry swift]

You know, in a perfect world S6 would have a monetization model that works and have the ability to give us free outfits...
But we do not live in that world.

[waxen mauve]

a free outfit on occasion would go a little way towards rebuilding trust, tbh

[warm python]

^this

I think every time we talk about wanting free outfits uhhh certain team members take it as wanting free cash shop outfits and that derails the whole conversation

[fiery perch]

Earnables

[waxen mauve]

Yeah, I don't need the outfit to have every bell and whistle imagineable. I'd just like some moderately cute things that are new to wear. They don't even have to be free, just not cost real world money. Earnables! Outfits for Palia coins!

[oak turtle]

night sky temple spoilers ||I genuinely thought that the 'bundles' in the night sky temple would unlock outfit pieces and when you completed them you'd get an outfit set to ,atch the temple theme or smth... i was rlly bummed to just get a supremem smoke bomb||

[rare pine]

Honestly, giving us the clothes the "ancient" humans would wear would be cool

[dry swift]

As long as we have to pay real money for them to get that immersion of being an ancient human living in a capitalistic society.

[waxen mauve]

Clothes for completing certain quest lines or guild achievements would be great

[fiery perch]

I always thought a better way clothing would of been in this game, would be all the basic/default clothes were more 'modern' (at least, what modern might of been for humans in palia). A handful of those, maybe.

And while you play the game, you can unlock different clothing-- which is more from Palia itself's culture. Learning more about thta, esp from Jel. Getting a tailoring skill, and maybe making some in the 'modern' style too, so you can show those to Jel and other villagers (even if they dont wear it, but a way to kinda talk about both cultures).

Can also get different styles in a sense from other villagers-- specifically with skills that you could earn over time. etc etc. This way it'd feel more immersed, learn more about Palia as a whole (imo), and just have more self-expression.

... But now, yeah i just want earnables in general. Even if it was just purchasing them with guild tokens at this point

[dry swift]

I like the idea of guild villagers giving you blueprints for their clothing once you reached level 10/25/50 in that skill, but then to make the outfit you need materials based off of that skill, like silk and other byproducts from rare insects, cut gems to stud into your mining outfit, etc.

If S6 wants to give players tedious tasks to do so that they can have something they're proud of, making a crafting tree is a start.

At least crafting trees feel like you're setting a healthy goal for yourself instead of "Catch 500 rainbow-tipped butterflies for this plush that will forever sit on your plot and maybe someone will see it when they visit."

Oops! There I go caring again.

[azure delta]

Knowing Daybreak, they'll just milk Palia and the premium store until it becomes dead like their other acquired games Don't think S6 can stop that

[dry swift]

Maybe. I guess none of here will ever know until it happens or doesn't. In the meantime there are at least plenty of other fun games to get addicted to.

If it wasn't for this discord, I would have surely forgotten Palia exists by now.

[fiery perch]

Come on, Herp, let's go back to NMS ...
(Or, in my case currently, MonHun)

But yes, honestly needing materials for creating specific outfits wouldn't be a bad idea imho. it at least would feel earnable in the end

[azure delta]

They could add earn-able achievements like on your 50th catch of a certain bug, you get a plushie backpack or a backpack with a bug keychain or lantern depending. There's so much potential

[warm python]

Valk, Herp, you two are the worst (and I mean that positively) cause I cannot get my hands off of NMS

[dry swift]

Crazy, it's almost like there are great games out there that are actually fun to play that are free or cost the usual asking price of 60 U.S. Sheckles with no cash shop.

If people enjoy fishing for 200 levels, I won't yuck their yum. I just don't have the attention span for that.

[warm python]

imagine!!

[waxen mauve]

There was a time I would have paid a subscription price for this game, lol

[wintry terrace]

Soo, I have a 6 hr cooldown just because the bot removed my forum post because of too many emojis. Maybe this should be mentioned in the guidelines. At least I couldn't find anything about it.😓 and what is the emoji limit anyone know?

[neat compass]

If you reach out to @daring cosmos the mods should be able to help you out

[waxen mauve]

I got an einar warning earlier because an emoji I used had too many a's

[wintry terrace]

Strange reason, I couldn't even read the warning properly because it only appeared for 1 second lol but I think it was just because of too many emojis. 🙃

[waxen mauve]

Yeah, sometimes the automod is a little overzealous

[fresh leaf]

Might have seen overusage of emojis as potential spamming and caught it.

[sharp harness]

I'm going to send this to the devs as suggestion but saying it here too - can we get the old tools appearances as free cosmetics? you know, the standard and fine appearances. I don't like the blue appearance of exquisite tools (like exquisite axe, exquisite pick..), I wish I could just select the "fine" appearance even if I'm using exquisite. Since these appearances are the ones of the old tools, we could get these for free...

[wintry terrace]

Yeah,Einar seems to not like emojis

[fresh leaf]

Oh! Just like the bobbers! Not a bad idea.

[sharp harness]

I just sent this idea to the team via player feedback in palia web, hope we could get it .. at least we would have some appearances to select and don't be stuck with the blue ones 😅

[waxen mauve]

That's a good point, if you don't like the look of the exquisite tools it's kind of a punishment for having better-working tools

[oak turtle]

I'm absolutely cackling I went to see if Caleri was back and now the whole library is gone?!?! lmaooo sorry mam youve been erased

ok all the stores are like that. I love server maintenance

b a r r e l

[ivory vessel]

maintenance won't be until <t:1741366800:F> (your time), this is just regular palia

[waxen mauve]

B a r R l E rrrrel

[oak turtle]

no wayyy haha, I just did the quest where you find things around Eshes house but her house was completely empty. that was fun

oh and the objects i found were invisible too. thank the pheonix for sound cues

[waxen mauve]

Like metal detecting

[wintry terrace]

Ohh, this has been happening to me for months, I especially love it when it happens in Zeki's store and the stairs to the UG are gone. (I call it Zeki's trap).😂 I've gotten used to using the glider to get to the UG to avoid Zeki's trap lol.

[oak turtle]

Honestly seems like something Zeki would do on purpose lol. I tried to cross a bridge at lake kilima and it doesnt exist either

[distant fjord]

So like...did they 'fix' the 'flower wall' bug?

Not sure if this is what that means: While Building Blocks snap points have improved, players may notice they cannot snap blocks to the bottom of crates.

[lyric night]

should not be the case, that's not what the patchnotes meant
maybe someone over in #🏡│decor can help u with ur flower wall/ceiling

[toxic vine]

Any chance for ballroom belle dress to go on sale?

Or butterfly dress

[swift token]

Went on sale already. 🥹😪

Might be a while before it comes back.

#📢│palia-news message

[iron shell]

anyone, how to change our in game name in palia?

[torn kindle]

Can I change my account name or Character name?

You can change your account name and at time by logging in at accounts.palia.com/account/. Do keep in mind that your account name would not be the same one as your in-game username.

Also be mindful when creating your account name as this should also not violate our Community Guidelines.

There you go From the support site

[hard basin]

!support

[opal cypress]

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

[iron shell]

thankyou so much! but, what if i use steam to regist before? i never made an palia’s account

[torn kindle]

I think this link might cover all different scenarios:

https://support.palia.com/hc/en-us/articles/24877677943060--Steam-Account-Creation-Linking-and-Rewards#h_01HSKJ3QM0QRBJ491H0M5X1RAX

Otherwise, follow the link Mortis posted so you can raise a ticket to get help with that.

[wide hound]

It is not.

[iron shell]

i already know to change my palia account name, but what i mean is ‘in game name’

[hard basin]

That's your ign - in game name, there's another name option like a nickname using when villagers call you during dialogues

[iron shell]

i need to change it, how to change?

[hard basin]

Yes, like mentioned above. The only way is through support. Be specific and clarify which part of your name you want to change and provide a few names.

[azure ibex]

why is there still not a ''remember me'' option on the login screen? i have severe issues with my memory, and it's frustrating having to reset my password everytime lol

[torn kindle]

If you’re on PC you should be able to save it via your browser/OS

[azure ibex]

i mean the client, don't you have to log in everytime you want to play?

[torn kindle]

I’m on switch

[wide hound]

If you play through the Steam client, you keep your credentials saved, so you don't have to remember/enter them with every login.

[azure ibex]

ah thanks! i guess i gotta switch over to steam with palia

[nimble gulch]

I just experienced the most annoying bug possible I have reported it but has anyone else had problems joining parties in maji market

Because I most certainly have

[rare pine]

My game is autumn???

Did I miss something?

[sleek ridge]

All the pavers on my lot are one size now and im sad

[lyric night]

its a known bug, said to be fixed in the next patch in less than 2 weeks

[hollow crescent]

slept too long

[sleek ridge]

All good, just thinking about having to pick them all up to replace them.. i have a lot everywhere

[lyric night]

yeah some server instances have fall/winter foliage for whatever reason

[lethal granite]

it’ll be fixed, i’d leave them be and try your best to ignore them

[west marlin]

I sincerely am asking palia once again to over estimate their downtime and come back online early, instead of underestimating and pushing it back further

'hey we're done a little early servers are coming back soon' is a much more positive sentiment then the seemingly invevitible 'hey we're gonna take longer sorry' we get

[warm python]

then again I'm p sure genchat would start frothing at the mouth if it was more than like three hours listed

source: every time it's happened ever

[west marlin]

No but that's what I mean

They should just say it's going to be 4 hours, and then be like '🤗 we're back early'

I guarantee it would cause less chaos then the extensions do... 😭

[warm python]

you think people could see "4 hours" and not start wailing and crying? /hj

I do agree though

[west marlin]

I mean I HOPE SO when more often then not it's longer then the window anyways
Atleast the dire hards aren't gonna plan their whole day around a time that's gonna just get pushed back 😂

[warm python]

LOL

[grizzled mist]

Other games adopted this and it works well. Overestimate the window and people are always pleasantly surprised when you come up early.

[west marlin]

Exactly

[ivory vessel]

[west marlin]

And like no offense they are almost always late anyways. I'm more surprised when it's rarely on time then I am when it's late because that's just the default

[grizzled mist]

It's true. They have been consistently late and I'm sure the poor shmoes rolling out the updates would love a little wiggle room.

[west marlin]

I feel bad for them, it would just give them some more breathing room if they made the downtime window longer

And I think everyone would be much happier to hear 'its back early!'

[grizzled mist]

oop that's bigger than I remember it being

[warm python]

omg I love that

[grizzled mist]

It's a cross stitch pattern! 💙

[warm python]

yesss!!! so good. i should send it to my cross stitching friends LOL

[wispy lance]

Usually extensions are because something went wrong. It can either be an easy fix or it could take longer.

[grizzled mist]

Do it! If we could colour the building blocks in game I would dedicate a plot to it!

[grizzled mist]

Definitely! That's why a bigger window is a good plan.

[warm python]

I mean, yeah. That's why we're saying, considering that it's very common for things to go wrong with patches in this game, they ought to over-estimate the time a patch takes so people won't riot when it takes longer and will be happy if it actually works the first attempt for once

[west marlin]

Yeah but it just seems like something always goes wrong 😅 they should give themselves more time

[warm python]

They gotta give themselves more wiggle-room on the announced downtime length

[wispy lance]

We haven't had an extension in a long time from what I recall, I wouldn't call this "always"

[grizzled mist]

It's just managing expectations. The cozy folk do get quite riled up.

[west marlin]

The last two were late, then we had two in a row that were on time, which was a stand out because before that they were on a very long late streak 😅

Obviously just talking about major patches and not other downtime

[warm python]

There's a reason it's always a square on the bingo card LOL

[west marlin]

I just scrolled back through the channel to double check

Now when we get a patch a month it does seem like two in a row is a very long time I don't disagree but the overall history is definitely on the late side

[grizzled mist]

It's fine. Things go wrong with patches. That's true for every game. I think we're just generally agreeing that announcing a longer downtime would give them more time and keep people a little more relaxed if something comes up. And if all goes well, S6 gets to be the hero that came back early. It's a good thing.

[west marlin]

Theres no downside that I see in just giving themselves a bit more time and coming back early it's certainly better optics

[pallid ferry]

There's a reason "Longer Than Planned" got moved off the "free" spot on my Patch Bingo cards. They've been improving on giving themselves more time than necessary.
That being said, I'm glad they recognized that there was an issue with this hotfix and are delaying it, rather than push something else broken out.

[west marlin]

Yeah I was genuinely impressed by the two back to back on time

[grizzled mist]

I can't help but point out that the 2 that were on time were incredibly broken, and potentially automated since no one was around to fix them.

[west marlin]

[pallid ferry]

Idk, the speed with which we got those apology ducks showed me that they were watching us.

[west marlin]

I'm still waiting for the 297 more I need tho

[pallid ferry]

Speaking of... MODS! We still need a duck emote.

[warm python]

297 more ducks? in THIS economy? /lh

[wispy lance]

I would gladly upload a duck but I can't 😝

[ember rampart]

Hey! Will the next Maji Market will have the same products like food, desserts and toys as this one, or there will be others?
It's my first maji, so I don't know if they change through rotation or something

[polar elbow]

-nods-
to chime in with an analogy, if you know it typically takes 30 minutes to get to your destination with normal traffic, and you need to be there at 12:00, you don't leave at 11:30. You leave at 11:15 or something, so that you have some wiggle room in case a road is blocked due to construction, or there's a traffic jam, or any other unforeseen issue.
It doesn't prevent all instances of being late, but it prevents you from habitually being late when you account for things that might slow you down ahead of time.

[wispy lance]

This one is on repeat.
The luna new year (the other version) is once a year

[ember rampart]

Ohh, I see. Thank you!

[pallid ferry]

A whisper into the ears of those with the power would be appreciated. Thanks for hearing us, oh Priestess of Discord!

I thought twice about the title and decided full send.

[wispy lance]

Oh no, call me vampire if u wanna call me something 😅😅

[west marlin]

[pallid ferry]

Take it up with Chayne.

[wispy lance]

Lol

[scarlet hazel]

i wish some new things were added to maji market to make it worth to go back to

[wispy lance]

I'm hoping in time we get new items to it as well. And new events hopefully

[scarlet hazel]

maybe. im hoping s6 gets their stuff together at last after elderwoods releases

[wispy lance]

We're all hoping that and I'm cheering them on

[dry swift]

Hey everyone hope we're all doing fine today!

[pallid ferry]

It's not even worth it to spend time there, since they condensed the "mini-game" time window.

[warm python]

I am existing, just vibin a bit before I once again spend the rest of my day on NMS

[scarlet hazel]

again? are the tickets still trash too?

[dry swift]

Nice! I just went out and bought some "groceries" on my break so I could have an excuse to get some sour patch kids.

[pallid ferry]

Not "again." Back when they changed the time of the balloon pop to be closer to the Chappa Chase. At least with Lunar, you can hotpot all night long.

[scarlet hazel]

i hate hotpot so i guess the maji market isnt worth going to at all for me

[warm python]

Awwww yeah

[scarlet hazel]

i wish the tickets werent so trash to get. like... at least let me get 1000 or something every night.

but no it has to be a huge grind like everything else in the game >.>

[dry swift]

I decided to start a survival permadeath playthrough of NMS today. So far I started on a toxic rain hellscape, then the 2nd planet I had to go to had aggressive sentinels so that's fun.

[warm python]

Oh maaaan that's ROUGH lmao good luck!!

[pallid ferry]

I started playing Infinity Nikki, and DANG I feel like this is what Palia could look at for their "economy." Most everything can still be done free, there's some open world grind, but also ability to skip and get things faster if you want to spend the cash.

[warm python]

I have a base called Poison Hellhole in a toxic rain hellscape cause it's bad enough that I can get storm crystals, bht

[dry swift]

My main base is on a literal oven covered in sand. I keep saying "I hate sand... it's coarse and gets everywhere."

[warm python]

Yeeeeah Nikki You can do everything p much as long as you put the grind in, some outfits may make challenges easier but you can still do em with F2P if you level/strategize right

[wispy lance]

The isn't hot pot at the regular market though

[warm python]

I have mine on a paradise planet with red grass but ever since I got my freighter I'm not there that much anymore

But anyway changing topics before we get yelled at for being off topic--

[scarlet hazel]

oh. tbh the tickets arent worth it cause its such a ridiculous grind. 90 and lower or 100-200 tickts for one game is absolutely absurd

[wispy lance]

Cough, cough

[warm python]

But yeah my dislike of gachas as a practice aside, there's so much in Nikki that I think Palia could learn from

[dry swift]

You might want to get that cough checked out. It is flu season after all.

[wispy lance]

😷

[warm python]

And once the housing stuff in Nikki comes out I wouldn't be surprised if a lot more people bounce from here to there

[dry swift]

I'm on the fence about gacha/loot crate systems. On one hand, I think that they're a nice way for the dev to make revenue to continue developing their game without ruining the fun for freeloaders like us.

On the other hand, I think freemium systems like Gacha disproportionately target people who are prone to forming habits/addictions.

[warm python]

Absolutely agreed on all of that. I really wish Nikki wasn't a gacha cause yeah, the system as a whole is kinda meant to prey on peoples psychological vulnerabilities. Which is why when FOMO happens in Palia too I get annoyed

[wispy lance]

Bringing up another game once in a while as a comparison is fine, but when it repeatedly becomes the main topic of discussion, it becomes off-topic. I would suggest #💬│off-topic-chat if you guys want to continue the conversation on Nikki, I will gladly join u there 💜

[dry swift]

I tend to gravitate more towards games that have an upfront cost ($60 being what I find acceptable if it's a game I expect to be REALLY good by my standards) or subscription based models with NO cash shop.

[warm python]

Gacha is the worst of it but F2P as a whole is absolutely a system meant to trick people into paying more than they would upfront tbh, and that's why I don't buy the "but it's freeeeee" excuse with Palia

[dry swift]

Had Palia started out with either of those models, I would have been happy to oblige at first and we may very well have been talking about a totally different game today.

[warm python]

I've seen people be like "oh if this game was up front price I wouldn't buy it" then own enough outfits that they would have paid for the game like three times over

[dry swift]

Yeah, I never understood the disdain for games that have an upfront price but you have access to 100% of the content the game has to offer.

[warm python]

I'd rather have all the content at my fingertips then feel like I'm being nickle and dimed my entire time of playing

[dry swift]

Even $60 is like... 4 hours of work with a minimum wage job in the U.S. If you don't think that the game is going to give you 4 hours of entertainment, it's probably not worth $60 to begin with.

[warm python]

It's just. SO easy with a game like this to make players spend more than they normally would. An outfit here, a toolskin there, and it builds up to way more than a game like this would have ever cost. And thats why F2P models exist tbh

[dry swift]

I think once Elderwoods comes out, I could see Palia having a value of around $20-30 on the price tag. Heck, you could even throw in $30 in Palia Coins for buying the game too so it's not even really like you're buying the game itself.

[pallid ferry]

And an upfront price feels much more manageable. Palia is EASILY a $40 game, I would even pay $60 if they delivered on some of the in-game hints about ranching.

[warm python]

I would have paid 40 easily for the game i hoped this was gonna be fhdkshf

[dry swift]

If Palia was $60, I'd really want S6 to address a lot of the game-breaking bugs first.

$60 will get you some of the best games on the market and Palia is not there yet.

[polar elbow]

what I expected palia to be, and what it turned out to be, were two very different games lol

[dry swift]

I could definitely see $40 though IF you got $40 in Palia Coins with a purchase of the game. Or they could just reduce the cost of outfits in the premium store since the upfront price would definitely compensate.

What would you describe as a "Good" game, anyways? For me it would be a game that has 1.) A lot of replay value. 2.) In-depth customization systems. 3.) An economy. (Not necessarily trading, but resource sinks or other ways to spend currency or resources you gather in-game. 4.) Goals and achievements of varying lengths. 5.) Developers that understand what would make their game more enjoyable. Not putting too much emphasis on balance.

[wispy lance]

It depends on what you prefer in a game.

For me I like palia because I enjoy decorating a building.
I want more quests but ill just have to wait on those a bit more 😅.

[dark moon]

A good game will give me fried peki and room attachments for the second floor (jk, but pwease?)

[wispy lance]

Running around and collecting things is also fun but ince I start a project I just forget everything else exists 😅

[dry swift]

I think if you can be over 100 hours in and still saying "Oo! Piece of candy!", than you have a good game at the very least.

[pallid ferry]

If decorating were... better, I'd be more into it. I think it's silly that the best "builds" all involve manipulating the game in often difficult ways. It'd be REALLY great if they just gave us an option to turn object clipping on and off and free-place.

[wispy lance]

For me new furniture is like Christmas day xd

[warm python]

I love decorating too, but honestly for me I like games where it isn't the only real endgame.

[serene hamlet]

[warm python]

I love having a variety of things to do and rewards to get of different natures!

[wispy lance]

And that is totally fine. Palia isn't for everyone, there other games out there as well, go explore

[warm python]

Something something obligatory FFXIV mention where there are so many different forms of things to do and you don't feel hardstuck only really moving towards a single goal

[dry swift]

I feel like if you can wake up and ask yourself what you want to work on in a game because you have options, even a thousand hours in, that's the kind of game you don't forget about.

[dark moon]

Even though I can totally lose 14hrs out of the day in minecraft, I prefer palia because the graphics are prettier

[dry swift]

Unfortunately for me, I'm a really fast learner, so I pick up the "meta" in games really fast and end up getting bored with many games because I've already "solved" them in 1-2 weeks.

[wispy lance]

Reason I never played Minecraft and was waiting for something like palia 😅

I also think that bugs and glitches are fine if they add to the enjoyment of the game and will usually always select the hardest difficulty for a game possible to challenge myself.

"Do I want to work on furniture? Do I want to work on an outfit? Do I want to work on a cutie pet following me around?" the more of those questions I have in an online game the better. Even in single player games, though obviously only when appropriate (as much as I wish I could dress Alan Wake up in different outfits we only get like...three.... Giving him a pet following him around tho-- Okay I'm gonna stop now LOL)

hot take but, if palia's entire endgame is meant to be decorating a house, it needs to do a lot better at decorating as a game feature than it currently is imho

I've played that game since alpha, but now I have palia. Though I do wish there where more material to build with. Hunting and mining are getting repetitive

Minecraft was a fun game when I was younger, some of the builds people do with command blocks are nuts.

Relateble

I agree with this. They are okay with us using glitches to put furniture in places it wouldn’t typically go, using the gourmet bowl for example. Imagine what we could make if there was an option to have free build, kinda like the sims. People houses would be even more creative!

When one of my cousins was like, six, he showed me a rollercoaster he made in Minecraft and it blew my mind cause I could NEVER manage the stuff he managed with the switches lmao

I am defintely a sucker for games that have procedurally generated planets/dungeons/islands. I love a good mystery.

Kira, I want to tell you about another game but I don't want to do it here, mind if I ping you in #💬│off-topic-chat ?
