[barren wyvern]

I submitted a ticket a week ago about the issue, but I havent heard back from them.

[ember lynx]

omg yes i could build my plot around it

[marsh depot]

I forgot to switch it back, woops. (glad someone noticed!)

[modest merlin]

I think the global limit, specifically around trees, is just a result of how the game was setup to behave with the original trees/rocks on your plot.

Trees/rocks on your plot that you never removed at the start stay persistently on every plot you switch to. All of those trees and rocks, even though you didn't place them yourself, counted towards the item limit, and since they show up on all the plots, they had to have the trees/rocks count towards the item limit on every plot.

As a result any tree you plant yourself behaves the same way. For that reason, I've never seen that aspect of it as a bug, but just working as they initially had it. Remember that being able to plant your own trees wasn't originally part of the game.

[ember lynx]

oormuu delights

[olive carbon]

Prepare to be even more confused about it then! /half joking

[barren wyvern]

Not related, but they have burgers now in Mario Kart lol.

[ember lynx]

thats so random xD

[barren wyvern]

Check out the new Mario Kart World trailer - the racers literally eat burgers and change in appearance.

[modest merlin]

I have a history of 3 tickets on it on my account. It's never been of any help.

[olive carbon]

I agree about the trees and rocks. The rest of the stuff simply shouldn't act the same imo- like we've been saying, for a decorating simulator with a side of open world, it's not a great look to start a plot at over 500 decorating items due to doing exactly what they want us to do.....decorate

[ember lynx]

ive personally had a good experience with submitting tickets, that sucks :/

[hollow crescent]

mhm and i’m not gettin rid of my og trees and rocks cuz i like where they are just limits is all :/

[modest merlin]

Crafters, and chests makes sense too, because there are global limits with those to think about.

The things that have never made sense to me are the special items like the Arcade machine. Why would that be a global item???

[barren wyvern]

Even fern took my wording of decorating simulator lol.

[hollow crescent]

i feel it depends on the support person/the issue. i had a quest prob and it was answered within an hour, but that was at the start of release, around oct i think

[modest merlin]

I'm specifically referring to submitting tickets about the trees/global limit.

[ember lynx]

yeah, same here. most i had were about quests which might be why

[olive carbon]

We use it a lot around here it's a fairly widespread sentiment atp

[ember lynx]

aaah, got it. i havent had an issue with that since my plot is servely underdeveloped lol

[barren wyvern]

Fair fair - not surprising given the current state of things.

[marsh depot]

I know meeks has too (except for one instance) but for the most part, it's a mixed bag for most players, sadly. There clearly is a communication divide between S6 and the CS.

[barren wyvern]

The thing that gets me is that cooking stations count too. I want my cooking stations on multiple plots! XD

[hollow crescent]

like how storage chests act?

[ember lynx]

they do?!

[hollow crescent]

cuz you can put them on diff plots still and use em but yea they do count to that limit, cuz otherwise there’d be a imposes limit on them (only
make x amount of stoves) kinda thing

[barren wyvern]

Yeah sadly lol. Eats away at my global limit.

[marsh depot]

Yup, sadly. I have an "empty" plot with an over 300 item count thanks to the global count lol

[modest merlin]

My "empty" plot is ~800/3000

[barren wyvern]

Though I have still been logging on, I often end up visiting other people and showing them around my plots rather than building.

[olive carbon]

Same, and that plots name?
"Fix plot item count bug"

[barren wyvern]

Perhaps we should all play a game together on my gaming fortress plot sometime? Might as well put some good use for it haha.

(I have multiple boards for Shoots and Ladders, Checkers, and Chess!)

[modest merlin]

I had to take down my forest themed plots.
I only really have one now.
All my other plots are strikingly devoid of trees.

I hate to say it, but that's one of the reasons why I actually bought the Autumn Acres plot. It being empty and wide open actually looks good.

[barren wyvern]

I have yet to find a use for the Autumn Acres plot. I don't know what to do with it tbh lol.

[warm python]

They gotta get their stuff together soon... I saw a few leaks from another popular cozy game re: housing and

[modest merlin]

I also bought it because I wanted my plot to have seasons.
I was looking forward to a winter landscape as well, but then they released it for $25 and I couldn't justify that cost for what it was.

Autumn Acres was only like $10? I think?
I would have spent another $10, maybe even $15, on a winter landscape.

[runic eagle]

Yeah it was 850 coins, $8.49 USD.

It's still my favorite one.

[rare pine]

Seasonal landscaping should be free. the rest of Kilima changes with the seasons but our plots being immune is quite....

I was gonna say a bad word.

[warm python]

What is this "free" you speak of, don't you know it would kill the game /hj

[rare pine]

My bad. I don't condone violence, i swear.

[hollow crescent]

i’d want basic plots of different areas:kilima we have, how about bahari? not the beach one but something that says “yea i’m in bahari atm”. leave the fancy stuff with all the lights in the sky’s/big open areas to explore for the shop if they want but something similar to what we already have that’s just at the register of town hall for renown to buy (or whatever other currency)

[barren wyvern]

The Kilima Heights landscape is kind of like Bahari in a way, but I can see what you mean.

[modest merlin]

At the very least, take the basic layout, and make it change with the seasons, and charge 5$ for it.

[barren wyvern]

What's a good use for autumn? An outdoor grill maybe?

[thorn temple]

lots of fiya

[barren wyvern]

Yeah that is what I am leaning to, though I already have a plot with plenty of tables and food lol.

[thorn temple]

unleash your inner fuego lorenz!

[warm python]

I'm sure it's on the way at some point for some stupid money amount

[modest merlin]

I want to be able to plant autumn colored oak trees

The orange and the red

[barren wyvern]

Maybe lots of campfires will do the trick 🙂

[modest merlin]

And give me dead trees too!
Not all trees have leaves on them all year round!

Plus they would really elevate my Halloween plots.

[rare pine]

Has anyone heard anything about items disappearing from inventory? A new bug apparently(?)

[thorn temple]

on and off for years yep

[red comet]

Went to play yesterday and wasn't even on one minute when the game crashed. I'd give an honest opinion but that EinarBot will message me again and tell me how I'm "not contributing to the conversation"

Can't handle criticism? Not my problem. As a consumer I'm allowed to be honest about a game that's not honest with its consumers

[modest merlin]

My game crashes every time I leave my plot.
I've submitted a bug report and feedback about it on their website.
This ensures that the people that can do something about it can be made aware of it.

[normal saddle]

Thankfully the game stays up long enough for me to claim my Zeki coins. But I would be SO mad if it crashed before I could log on. Sure, I paid 5 bucks, but I expect the full value of my 5 bucks if I can help it! Depressive episodes where I just plain don't feel well enough to log in, aside. Also was sick with a stomach bug and slept for like a whole day. oof. Goodbye 30 coins because I got sick lol

[olive carbon]

Two things:

• there is a grace period where you can still collect your ZLC coins up to 2 days of missing a login, the third day is when you start to miss out on them
• if you can't login for those 2 days, definitely contact support for refunds

[normal saddle]

Tbh the only one I might want is the beach one. Other than that I'm perfectly fine with the cheapo forest one they keep on an almost constant sale. Love it. I personally wouldn't mind shelling 10 or 20 bucks for an autumn themed one. Thought autumn acres would be it, but it's more plains than trees then what I want. Idk, maybe I'll do a parrie home.

[normal saddle]

Nice! and yeah, it was a third day that I missed on since it was a depression into getting sick thing. Just a circumstance thing and not too bad since it's only 30 coins, but still.

[normal saddle]

Thank you for the concern, but please I don't need the virtual hugs! I swear I'm fine most of the time, stop worrying about me, give the hugs to someone else!

I'm being agressively loved and I need an adult

[normal saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-3584473422170938815

I'm going to slither back into my hole of darkness here and try to get an essay written that's due tonight. Peace

[thorn temple]

glad I have 0 of those to do, for a long time 😄

[warm python]

Random interesting observation: since the introduction of the mystery gifting, all of the sales are now on v expensive items so they go from v expensive > expensive, instead of meh > affordable

Wonder if it's a new strategy or a roughshod stopgap to prevent the "people getting mystery gifts currently on sale for less than mystery gift price" thing

[marsh depot]

I've noticed that too. The current "sale" items are still very much expensive even with the sale.

Willing to believe it's a mere coincidence, but if it's really a "strategy" to prevent that issue... it's a yikes from me.

[lofty junco]

i saw "11% off" and immediately closed the shop lol

[marsh depot]

Ngl, they almost had me with one of the previous sales.

[normal saddle]

dang, if it was cheaper they would have gotten me too. Gotta love my autistic love for those thing.

[lofty junco]

any time i see a game promoting a sale under 15% i just wonder why even bother at that point lol

[lyric night]

compared to other hightier outfits it has barely any effects and is quiet disappointing imo
the only effect heavy thing is the (useless) outfit change animation

[hollow crescent]

i’m sure some outfits have effects cuz you’d here “what’s this” a lot in gen chat and it’s a left over effect from a outfit

[lyric night]

that's the pose after the transform
idle is just a weird glow that is barely noticeable afaik

that's the only reason its 3400, yeah

[neat compass]

I know there are people who look forward to the sales each week, but seeing that posted when people can barely play the game without crashing is...something.

[lofty junco]

yeah sorry im not spending $30 dollars on a single cosmetic for a beta game that crashes 50% of the time and has so many bugs that just.. dont get fixed

[marsh depot]

Yup... it's been exactly a week.

[normal saddle]

can guarantee that the wifi and the computer are working like they should. The game itself is just crashing and stuttering like mad. Found a minor, new ish bug, where some sound effects no longer plays. (Mainly while gardening. Haven't been on long enough to test others)

[marsh depot]

I crashed on GFN 5 minutes after opening the game I guess it's really down to luck though, it was fine after I logged back in for less than 30 minutes in Killima and plot.

[calm jackal]

I've tried logging in through GFN. Unfortunately, it makes no difference on my end.

[neat compass]

Something that's always been interesting to me about Palia is that it seems to be more reliant on hardware/software support than other games. For example, there were a couple months when I forgot to update my graphics drivers, and Palia was unplayable for me but every other game I played was fine. Once I updated the drivers, Palia worked again. That was over a year ago. After the most recent patch, I logged in and the game was struggling. I couldn't move my character without severe lag/stuttering. I realized once again that my graphics drivers were not up to date 💀 But again, not a single other game I play has been affected. After I updated the drivers the lag was resolved, but I'm sure if I tried to actually play I would experience the crashing issues everyone else is. It's just really strange to me.

[calm jackal]

Day 10, if you count the day the update dropped. Edit: wow, double digits! where did the time go? these bugs grow up so fast

[ember lynx]

wait how do u check the graphic drivers? asking cuz my game runs slow after updates sometimes so it might be an issue for me too

[neat compass]

You should be able to check by going to Device Manager on your computer, scroll down until you find Display Adapters, then click the dropdown arrow next to that. That's where your graphics card should show up, and you can double click it to view the details and check if drivers are up to date.

[rare pine]

If nothing happens tomorrow, it might be another long weekend of crashes

[marsh depot]

I can somewhat confirm to this too. Last year, my laptop was experiencing some overheating (I suspect to this day it started due to Palia, never had them before) and was experiencing constant crashing. This was the only game I was experiencing this. I went and got a full maintenance and thermal paste replacement, updated drivers and all. Had no issues for a while on Palia or any other games. But around August/October, I was back to experiencing crashing (specially on highly decorated plots) and again, I don't have this happening on other games either.

[neat compass]

Omg that's awful. I always thought my PC fans were working harder when I play Palia than they do for any other game, but there's a chance I've been imagining that. Maybe not...

[ember lynx]

ty!

[marsh depot]

I recall my partner saying they definitely heard their fans going harder when they opened Palia. And if I want to open the game, it always has to be on GFN/Nvidia, otherwise it'll be an almost instant crash.

[ember lynx]

my fans go CRAZY when i open palia, people tell me it sounds like my laptop is taking off

[marsh depot]

not the jet engine fans 😭 /j

[ember lynx]

drives me a little insane ngl

[marsh depot]

i completely get that, it did annoy me too

[ember lynx]

also, finally finished all the temple bundles only to be disappointed by the temple of waves reward lol, everything else had a cool item and then- boullabaise

[marsh depot]

Yeah the rewards for that temple are.... not worth it at all imo

[hollow crescent]

i think the reason is (and there’s no right order to do these so it’s fine) is that temple of waves was your first introduction to these temples and the “prize” for finishing the bundle is ||ancient fish|| then as you do the other temples it’d make sense you get “better rewards”

[tiny cave]

My fan was doing the same, especially on my home plot, and my GPU temp was in the high 80s. It was also buzzing a bit when I had my house visible on the screen. I put my buildings and decor and everything in storage and just kept my garden and crafters on my plot and the fan stays a lot calmer now

[uneven robin]

have they said anything else about the crashes? it's getting ridiculous

[outer gust]

nada

[warm python]

Nnnnope

I saw a pretty big critical post on the subreddit today and I was shocked like dayum that place is usually mega positive about everything

[olive carbon]

And there's a whole comment thread on that items disappearing from inventory thing mentioned in here yesterday.....seems people are losing all sorts of things.

[uneven robin]

yeah I had put down some fish and when I picked them up they just disappeared

[paper hearth]

??? A no name outfit... preview?

[uneven robin]

looks cool at least

[warm python]

I just went on a big tl;dr elsewhere but just like, to repeat the gist of some of it here

with the continued lack of communication, massive bugs making the game practically unplayable if you're not lucky, focus on overpriced cash shop items, and to repeat again terrible communication and transparency or even dropping tidbits of stuff they're working on to keep people hype, it just keeps cementing in my head that S6 is focused on making money off of a revolving door of new players, instead of focusing on creating and nurturing a loyal fanbase. The latter will throw money at you. the former is going to run out eventually, espec cause they're gonna be out of new platforms to port to, and people are much less likely to recommend the game in the state it's been in.

new players are not likely to be spending $30 on an ugly costume when the economy is cratering into the pit of the earth.

[uneven robin]

I just checked the other set for that one and the arm colors are SO cool!

[paper hearth]

They are! It looks awesome! 😄

[gritty pine]

I wanted to get it, but I was kinda bummed the discount was only 11% 😓
It's cool, but still spendy.

[lyric night]

they basically leaked a lot of stuff for the future themselves with the current patch

the outfit in ur picture
pumpkin seeds
courier pet setting

would expect the courier pet and outfit next patch

pumpkin seeds probably with Elderwood

[midnight grail]

so i found out something sad

apparently in preliminary testing, Palia is having trouble starting up on Switch 2

i'd like to be able to play it there someday

[warm python]

Yeah, I wonder if they have the manpower at this point to fix that before June

[warm python]

oh, the courier pet....

[midnight grail]

then again, it has crashing issues on PC

they'd probably need to make a separate switch 2 port at this rate

[lyric night]

will be interesting if it will be a feature exclusive to a new pet or if all pets will get it

free pet is out of question, won't happen

[warm python]

Yuuuuup....

[signal kayak]

so, if courier pet is what it sounds like, as in the pet will take items (or something) back to your home storage for you, and they don't make a type of pet free for all players, isn't that going back on their not having game mechanics behind paywall?

[warm python]

If that does end up being the case I'm gonna be super intrigued how it goes down

[lyric night]

everything is possible now that daybreak wants to make their money

everything promised/said before the acquisition can be thrown away

[signal kayak]

ah, dreamlight valley all over again. broken promises alongside a broken game...

[marsh depot]

I think as usual, the people who are happy with this sort of stuff, will gobble it up, while the F2P players (and us) will be less than impressed.

[lyric night]

in the end it feels scummy but its also not like u need 10 minutes to clear ur inventory (and it takes a good amount to fill it in the first place)

its for sure annoying and shouldn’t be a thing but its not gamebreaking to send a few items into ur storage imo
(and if u know how that's already possible anyways)

[warm python]

True, though even if it's minor it's still kind of a spit in the face anyway

[lyric night]

it definitely is yeah

[warm python]

I'd love to see their reasoning for that if it ends up being the case, if they even give one

[polar elbow]

assuming its what we suspect it is, I'm mostly curious to see what the reaction will be from the people who embraced palia because it's "zero paid advantages" will be
will they happily slide down the slippery slope, or will they see it as a broken promise/betrayal?

[marsh depot]

For me personally, it'd be a point of no return kind of situation. But I am also curious to see what would the overall reaction be.

[signal kayak]

the only way that i can see it as not breaking promises or being against game mechanics being behind a paywall in general would be if they took the courier portion literally, as in being able to send things like mail to friends in game, maybe with a gift of some sort

honestly, i've just been here to watch the world burn and hang out with all you lovely people here in discussions. i haven't played the game in over 6 months, and not sure if i want to come back/on the verge of maybe deleting the game from my switch

[lyric night]

reasoning would be "highly-requested feature" just like mystery gifting

players want: gifting
players get: lootbox gifting

players want: features for pets and a very basic, extreeemely basic pet so everyone can make use of those features
players get: feature (very likely) locked behind paid pets, maybe even only one specific pet

[olive carbon]

Not realistic, tiny. No fomo listed as a possibility. [Limited time pet]

[signal kayak]

we already have fomo in the game

[marsh depot]

Honestly same. I was still holding out until EW but at this point it's just a gamble. Specially with so many other games coming out with better content.

[polar elbow]

the way to do it without breaking promises is to make the courier feature not use pets at all, because we know they're not going to give people a free/earnable one

[olive carbon]

Yes, exactly- which is what I was poking fun at. "The limited time spring courier critter", which "might come back", with a "possibility at another courier pet coming soon"

[lethal granite]

i have another option, which is purely based on their previous decisions: it’s like the hats for pets where you have to re-buy your pet to obtain the new courier feature.

[hollow crescent]

dont give them ideas xO /jk

[signal kayak]

hey congrats to all pc players and hope that the fix tomorrow works for you. switch players, have fun still crashing for a bit longer.

[warm python]

"you can expect a solution very soon" someone screencap that for posterity

[tribal field]

I hope that includes steam deck

[lethal granite]

i hope it won’t go that direction.

[hollow crescent]

same

[mystic forge]

oh yea thats another Reason why Development for Palia takes as long as it does, All the Platforms they have to Dev for v_v

[granite crag]

Its the exact reason you dont see switch beta testing games. Cant receieve the same amount of support, when it would be easier to finish the game on whatever console, and then add it later.

Probably S6's biggest setback was adding switch to beta testing. I understand wanting it to be more accessible, but it would better if the game was Actually functional.

[lethal granite]

there was a ton of pressure to put it out on Switch. i mean… makes sense, considering AC is one of their biggest IPs.

as someone who wouldn’t have started the game if it wasn’t for the Switch port, and who loves their Switch… there’s a reason games typically port to xbox/PS before nintendo hardware x.x

at the end of the day, it’s up to studios where they put their games out, and up to them to keep them stable on those platforms. lots of us wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the switch port. so at least you got my presence out of it

(hi evan)

[pulsar meteor]

(hi meeks) it's why I have never been fully onboard with the "switch was a mistake" sentiment. It may not have been the best choice for the game health to throttle it like they have, but on the flip side, if they hadn't been designing with the switch in mind, de-enriching it (for lack of a better term) would have been a dozen times harder after the fact, and they might not be doing any better if they'd used that approach

[neat compass]

I don’t think the switch port on its own was a mistake. S6’s poor preparation and execution of the switch port is the issue. It’s frustrating to constantly see common game development hurdles used as excuses for Palia’s current state. To be clear, I’m not saying anyone in this channel is currently making those implications, but I see it a lot in this server. “It’s in beta.” “Nintendo has strict rules.” “Programming is hard.” “These things take time.”

Creating a game that A) is playable without crashing every 5 minutes and B) is optimized for multiple platforms is not a novel concept. Developers have been achieving this for a very long time. You can acknowledge that the work is challenging and still expect it to be done correctly.

[pulsar meteor]

Also I have a vague memory of it never being officially confirmed, but their presence in a Nintendo direct being a strong likelihood that Nintendo may have contributed to the efforts towards moving it to switch, so they may not even been as heavily impacted by the costs involved

[polar elbow]

We'll have to respectfully agree to disagree here, but I am of the opinion that switch was a mistake not due to hardware limitations, but because of the fact that S6's update schedule and ability to push hotfixes in a timely manner was so negatively impacted, when S6 themselves, for whatever reason, struggle to release an update where things don't break

[lethal granite]

speculation like this isn’t exactly going to help the “switch was a mistake” crowd be persuaded.

[polar elbow]

Basically nintendo has to greenlight every patch that goes through the switch, and while that's fine for a game that has a more.... robust QA team and reliable track record, it really puts Palia in a bad light when things are left broken for a long time due to any fixes having to go through the whole approval process instead of being fixable as soon as possible

[signal kayak]

as a switch player, i feel like putting palia on the switch was a mistake as a beta game. i think they simply released the game far too early for the switch hardware to compensate for at this time. if s6 had waited until the game was out of beta, get all of the bugs out, and waited until the release of the switch 2, palia would have had a far better experience imho

honest opinion, palia should have been a switch 2 exclusive game

[warm python]

Switch in itself isn't a mistake, it's the most appropriate console for a game like this and a good idea to release on for more players. Releasing on Switch when the game was still unstable and incomplete as hell was the mistake, because as Tarina and others mentioned, fixing issues (of which there are SO MANY) is going to take so much longer due to needing both versions on the same build so to speak since it's an online game with crossplay

[signal kayak]

and again, don't get me wrong, i see why they pushed palia out as they did. the switch is the "cozy" console. you can take the switch anywhere you want to go, stars know i take mine to work with me everyday and play during my break. but the potato with a screen just can't handle a live service in beta game

[warm python]

When Nintendo certification means you can't get any real issues fixed for at least a month across all platforms, you want your game to at least be in good condition, not going on fire every other week

[neat compass]

While the switch 2 seems to have some decent upgrades, the game would still need to be optimized to run on the switch. The most powerful console will still struggle to run a broken game.

Additionally, both PlayStation and Xbox also have approval processes for patches. So if S6 truly plans to push for more consoles this year, and we still can’t get a patch without new broken things (even on PC), they will once again be biting off more than they can chew.

[warm python]

It isn't so much even the switch hardware holding things back (though there is some of that) as it is that certification process. that's why a lot of games' console and espec switch ports take longer for updates to get pushed. unfortunately since this is an online game with crossplay S6 doesn't have the luxury to push out quicker fixes even for parts of the audience. they seem to be able to do that sometimes (like what's happening now, maybe, with the upcoming hotfix), but more likely than not things gotta be put on hold

[signal kayak]

can't speak of xbox since i don't follow it, but palia stands no chance of surviving on ps5, broken or running the best as can be. there's just far better f2p games on it that system that can scratch itches better

[pulsar meteor]

The certification process is certainly a problem for an agile-aiming startup, don't disagree at all there

And the hardware limitations are chafing all players (see decor limit)

[neat compass]

Regardless of approval processes, let’s not forget that there’s about a month in between each “major” update, and that still doesn’t seem to be enough time for S6. I’m not really worried about their ability to roll out hotfixes quickly if we’re still sitting on bugs that have existed for several months. Approval processes are not the reason those bugs aren’t being addressed.

[pulsar meteor]

But at the end of the day, they've made their choices and are paying the respective costs, so hindsight isn't as useful for course corrections, especially if they have downward pressure meaning they can't choose not to put themselves in the same position once more

[swift token]

I'm not up to date and don't feel like reading everything, lol.

We're getting a new feature?

can’t handle the brightness of ||the game|| how much fern and orii shine

[prisma summit]

Something something, face the dark... XD

[dry flame]

Just when I think they can't surprise me anymore, they post this.

[dry flame]

Like forever because they are never gonna care to worry about fixing it, their last post just proved that.

[ember rampart]

At least for you to seem to be in the morning, not in afternoon as here, when everyone is done with their work and wants to relax.
Anyone know how long it will last?

[dry flame]

I'm a switch player, they will not be doing anything for me.

[ember rampart]

Ohh, alright

[errant shoal]

I hope a fix will come soon for switch too🥲

[dry flame]

We have been waiting for more than a year, don't hold your breath.

[errant shoal]

😔

I just want to be able to get out of my house plot without having the game crashing🥲

[ember rampart]

It's the same for pc. I crash almost non-stop changing the map. A huge problem for everyone after the last update...

[tribal jacinth]

dont forget about the passive aggressive replys some of the feedback gets when it gets a reply once every five months

once every 5 months

owh right I meant on discord i dont think they reply to the feedback form thingy but even a discord reply should have the gold print

[keen cape]

Are there any free redeem codes out there that actually work?

[strange niche]

Once again, the game is COMPLETELY un playable because of these crashes.
I have spent over 1,000 hours in this game, over $300 on stupid outfits and I can’t even play the damn game anymore???

I’m a switch player though so I shouldnt even open my mouth LOL

[radiant sonnet]

i’ve been sick and still am so i haven’t been up to date on stuff. can someone tell me why palia is going down soon?

also how long is it gonna be

[olive carbon]

Link to the status message
#📢│palia-status message

[radiant sonnet]

so we dont have to to leave the game since it says no down time

[olive carbon]

If anything you will likely be kicked from the game but able to log in soon after unless something changes

[rare pine]

Switch players will never know peace

[indigo seal]

Ashura’s last friendship quest is so sad

[sudden bay]

Just logged in...crashed immediately. Unless it hasn't gone through yet?

[mint sierra]

not yet. delayed it seems

[cloud obsidian]

delayed? Is that official- the main screen says down for maintenance but I can still get into the game

[rare pine]

It's not like a regular maintenance. It's just a hotfix so it kicks you to the main menu but then you can get right back in. They're saying it's delayed because the kick hasn't happened yet.

[cloud obsidian]

I understand hotfixes 🙂 I am curious why the team hasn't communicated anything about a delay, or was it a live hotfix that does not involve a kick. Communication unclear.

[rare pine]

Yeaah... they're not exactly the best at the whole communication thing.

[thorn temple]

lies, they're the bestest ever

[mint sierra]

yes, no nothing for PC yet, this just happened when I tried to load

palia launcher this is.

[echo lance]

Hey guys! This may not be the right place to ask or look for info but I recently have returned to playing after a hiatus. (I moved and was hyperfixated on other things lol) and upon my return I heard that there is a new map/land coming?

[cloud obsidian]

Yoda?

[mint sierra]

It is planned for Q2 meaning anytime between April 1st to End June this year - we will have Elderwood , the new zone yes

!elderwoods

[opal cypress]

Elderwoods is planned to release in Q2 of 2025, as mentioned in the Mini Dev Blog.

[echo lance]

😮

I wonder if there will be new characters as well?

[mint sierra]

steam update

https://steamdb.info/app/2707930/patchnotes/

[golden kiln]

lol RIP arcade machines....again XD

[vapid pendant]

Are you kidding me?!

After we spent so much time getting them back?!

You know damn well you'll just forget and gas light us again like last time!

[golden kiln]

ngl I honestly expected it to be something with the 2 paltech recipes we finally got after literally a year of them being missing

[sudden bay]

Interesting an arcade game is causing issues in a....GAME.

[vapid pendant]

Oh please they're never fixing that, they'll just ignore us because support is just about as useful as a spoon with a lid

[marsh depot]

Funny to see arcade machines being removed... again lol

[golden kiln]

no we got the 2 missing recipes (last update I think)
They're down at the black market register. I finally have my paltech radio XD

[sudden bay]

Good thing the actual arcade game is stupid or I might be mad lol

[loud axle]

How on earth...

[marsh depot]

Those darn chapaas are biting the wires again /silly

[vapid pendant]

I still stand by my support thing though

[loud axle]

How are pieces of the code that aren't even being touched in an update responsible for borking the entire game? wut

[quick anvil]

Hmm okey so what if you dont own any arcade machine/havent been around them and you still crashed non stop? Lol

[marsh depot]

It's like that meme/hoax about removing a coconut.jpg from TF2's games files lol

[vapid pendant]

The what?

[rare pine]

This is what I can never wrap my head around. how is furniture causing the game to crash incessantly?

[marsh depot]

To not go too off topic, there was a meme/joke about someone removing a random file on Team Fortress 2, called coconut.jpg that would "allegedly" break the entire game. Guess the Arcade machines are the Palia equivalent lol

[vapid pendant]

Oh wow

[golden kiln]

dicey coding ☠️

[young plank]

Telesto for destiny 2 LOL

[rare pine]

Also, wasn't there a similar issue a while back with the Valley Sunrise Bed?

[marsh depot]

Yup, not sure if it was just that or all Valley Sunrise furniture

[olive carbon]

A select few items in that line would crash you instantly if you tried to place them, yeah

[indigo sail]

Boy this game keeps giving us whatever we never asked for eh?

[tribal field]

RIP anyone who has an arcade room LOL

[sudden bay]

I've never been happier that I started DDLV over as I am now. lol

[wise moat]

Destiny mentioned

[young plank]

whats up warlock twin LOL

[wise moat]

Floaty space wizard twin indeed! 🙏

[vapid pendant]

Warlocks for the win!

[edgy marten]

hey guys, i think the server chat is error? seems i cant chat on the server, or is it just me?

[thorn temple]

does pressing tab do anything reik?

[edgy marten]

ive tried everything still the server chat isnt showing, only can whisper

also the nearby chat isnt working either

this happen when ive finished updating

[olive carbon]

Well the first question is going to be have you changed servers or reloaded your game yet? Both might fix the issue

[edgy marten]

i relog the game and the chat is back, thank god

[thorn temple]

wee! saved! 😄

[edgy marten]

yess sorry about the trouble guys

[thorn temple]

nah don't worry, it's sorted 😄

[warm python]

If arcade machines are the reason for the crash how come people with no machines on their plot were crashing/unable to load in

Well, y'all keep me updated if this ends up fixing everything

[fiery perch]

Because ppls plots are on a server where other people might have arcade machines, on their plot

[olive carbon]

Yeah I was just grabbing this theory from Tarina over in genchat
#💬│palia-general message

[warm python]

Ohhhh right I forgot it was set up like that

[fiery perch]

Bless you & Tarina, tbh

Also good morning

[warm python]

Good morning! Sleepily making my way to the computer

[fiery perch]

That's what I just did. I just woke up, and very groggily got my tablet & went over to my pc.

[warm python]

Yeah I am so groggy right now

[fiery perch]

It does seem like people are still crashing though, so...

[marsh depot]

My best guess it's just memory leak issues? I'm no programmer/game dev though

[marsh depot]

It's the gift that keeps on giving (also hi Ori!)

[fiery perch]

I assumed/figured Arcade Machines was part of it, but not the full issue. Esp since people are also crashing via loading screens. It's possible that Arcade machines was the casue for some, but not all.

[warm python]

My sleepy, non-informed prediction says that arcade machines may be messed up but there's something more messed up

(this is literally me tiredly guessing I have no actual evidence lmao)

[fiery perch]

Hiii

[fiery perch]

Yeah, especially since ppl can't login, and on loading screens. Something seems to be an issue in that moment. I think some ppl might of crashed for arcade machines (only because, some people did while just standing around, and it was an issue in the past)

But, since some people are still having problems, in an "underground loop" still, or trying to log in...

[somber crag]

I am not a dev and this is full speculation, but this lowkey smells of... spaghetti code.

[warm python]

🍝

[fiery perch]

Appy did say they went to make spaghetti that one time ...
(this is a joke! )

[somber crag]

Appy dropped her plate of spaGHET into the game. Bummer.

[fiery perch]

They just wanted to share it with all of us /silly

[olive carbon]

But I don't wanna say "spaghoot"

I know someone on the team is a Tim and Eric fan so the Spagett joke would be even more layered (character reference from said show)

[calm jackal]

Day 11: we're so back. Sphere-kun, where are you??

[marsh depot]

"The Disappearance of Sphere-Kun"

[warm python]

Rando question, how do you get arcade machines in the game? buy them from a shop?

[muted falcon]

Ok guys. We are in Q2. Yet still no update on elderwood. I have been patiently waiting since the end off last year for this update to continue ny game. Very annoying that there has been zero communication or updates on the progress of this update or rollout. The only updates they have done has been to pump more money out of us with MORE microtransactions. Very annoying. I would have rather just paid for the game instead of all these micro transactions being shoved down our throat and this huge delay in game updates. Is there any way to message the dev team directly in regards to these issues?

[olive carbon]

Underground black market, rare chance of it showing up, 60k a piece

[warm python]

Curious to see if it still rando shows up

[indigo seal]

Your frustration is absolutely valid and understandable. I get it. We don’t have direct contact with the devs, no. That would prob be very unsafe. You’re welcome to submit player feedback though and that can eventually make it to the devs! Also worth mentioning it’s only 4 days into Q2. I imagine we will hear something in coming weeks (I agree though their communication needs serious work so idek what to expect with that) but hopefully we get an update soon.

[marsh depot]

Iirc, there was a time they completely disappeared from the black market right?

[warm python]

I'm not sure

basically I'm wondering if they have the capability to remove an item from being bought

[olive carbon]

Several months and quite a lot of back and forth with support to get it acknowledged

[thorn temple]

Only the end of last year? You got a bit more to wait 😄

[marsh depot]

Yep, I remember that. Thank you Fern!

[muted falcon]

Thank you. I didn't think about that being dangerous, so I suppose that is a good thing that we cannot directly contact them. I know we are only a few days in, but I see them posting constant updates about other things, just nothing about the actual update most people want to know about lol How would I be able to give them player feedback? Do they have an email?

[indigo seal]

!support

[opal cypress]

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

[indigo seal]

Yes recently they pushed a hotfix for some widespread crashing issues. And prior to that it was a small update adding a few items. Most of us are with you in the boat of disliking the constant micro transactions being pushed each update so you’re not alone there at all! They tend to post updates or new on Tuesdays/Thursdays once a month. I forget if it’s in the beginning of each month or the end, perhaps someone else will know that better. But we are all hoping for SOME communication about Elderwoods soon

[fiery perch]

according to palia-gen, it seems more like they made them 'invisible' or something? since it's still apparently counting on ppls plot limits & stuff?

[ember lynx]

he was in the barn at kilima last I checked

[calm jackal]

Who knew logging in would come at such a great cost?

[marsh depot]

You get a cookie for getting the reference! 🍪

[calm jackal]

yay! 🍪 nomnom

[scarlet hazel]

Ngl they should just remake the arcade machines entirely at this point

[wind ether]

Hello guys how you are doing y'all today ?

[stone vault]

Do we get a Zeki coin dump for all those days we werent able to log in? I haven't the energy to send in a report.

[marsh depot]

Remake the whole game at this point /j

[wind ether]

Little question question guys...
What's happen if I ask for a gift cosmetics on this channel please ?

[warm python]

It'd be exactly what we were worried about would happen. You can't use this discord to solicit gifts if that's what you're asking

[calm jackal]

this is what support told me, and I confirmed the amount in-game. was surprised since I wasn't actually able to log in and click "claim" at any point, but that's how things shook out on my end.

[hollow crescent]

i’d ask modmail, but that’s essentially asking someone to purchase using irl money, and i guess we wouldn’t know if you are friends ingame already. (i know one game which they don’t do something like that in their discord)

!modmail

[opal cypress]

How to Use ModMail

Hey there!
This looks like something you can reach out to the mods for help! You can contact them via ModMail, a bot that will set up a private conversation with the team.

To use ModMail, DM @daring cosmos (that can also be found at the top of our member list).

It will walk you through the process to reach out to the mod team. If you are in multiple servers utilizing ModMail, please make sure to select Palia.

Thanks!

[wind ether]

Thx for the info guys

[wide hound]

Short answer: Not allowed.
Long answer: We do not allow the facilitation of giveaways in this server, we also do not allow users to ask for free items such as paid cosmetics/mystery gifts. This also helps prevent issues with scams or other problematic behaviors.

[ember rampart]

I wish to be allowed to have more than 3.000 items on houseplot. I am so creative with mine and enjoy a lot to decor, but I am feeling a bit restrained to not be able to add as much as I'd wish 🥲

[muted charm]

Switch player checking in. Game seems much more stable. Have not crashed once since the maintenance. Much appreciated 👌

[west marlin]

Lmao removed them

[marsh depot]

You can check over in #🏡│decor!

[wary lintel]

ohhhh it's in skill guides, i didn't have that category active, I'll repost there instead

[marsh depot]

No problem! You can always select the channel over in id:browse just to make sure it's always on your channel list 🩷

[prime olive]

YAY they are doing another update, I hope it fixes all the mess ups from the last update.

[warm python]

So is everything fixed, or?

[prime olive]

not sure yet just logging in

[tepid pine]

Can someone explain parties to me like I’m 5 even though I’m 42 lol-party question regarding invitations-are there temporary parties-like just for a goal in the moment and then there are general parties that people are a part of? I’m on switch so messaging is torture

Would have asked in newbies but doesn’t seem as active

[normal saddle]

Parties you have to manually join/exit. So they can be for both. I know I party up with random people who are doing similar things as me and then when i'm ready to log off for a bit I let them know i'm heading out and that it was fun to hang with them.

Partied up with this one gal to catch fireflies for the plushie. So many bugs

basically pressing the button to let the game know you're doing stuff together so the game can split the loot evenly. For example, if you catch a bug while in a party, then the game will duplicate that bug loot for the people you're partied with. And Vice Versa

I think, Someone please correct me

[tepid pine]

Ok so you can get invited to do something specific? And then you leave it when you are all done?

And what are cake parties?

[normal saddle]

The party invite is just general. There's no specific categories. So you and the other person can agree to do the specific thing and that's it. But mechanically the game doesn't really care. Long as you press the button to join, and then press the button again when you're done (Otherwise you're still in the party even after logging off. It won't automatically remove you from a party)

[tepid pine]

Ohhhhhh

[normal saddle]

That's a community thing that was here before the party system lol. Those are just a bunch of people organizing to bake as many cakes in the game for financial profit. Props to the people who organize it

[opal cypress]

How to join a Cake Party: You can check available parties being made here: https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1143270926394335282 .
Guidelines for joining a party:

• Double check all info within the post's Title and Description, provided by the Original Poster/Party Owner.
• Make sure you have enough ingredients for the amount of cakes specified in the post, as well as enough time to complete them (some cake parties can be quite time consuming).
• If a link is provided for the Party App as a signup, make sure you select the correct cooking station (which shows how much of every ingredient is required) and that your name is the same as in-game (this is for getting invited by the Party Owner).
• If you've already signed up, but can't make it in time for the specified start time (it is better to be ready a bit early, to avoid delays), or don't have enough ingredients, it's best to let everyone know you're withdrawing. (while, using the app, you can click the Withdraw button).

For more information, check out the Guide to Cake Parties.

[tepid pine]

Got it…so basically parties come and go based on the task at hand. But when, I chop the FTs , I get the loot without joining a party.

[normal saddle]

For flow trees, if you even tap that tree with your axe, you get the loot regardless of being in a party

[tepid pine]

I don’t think I can even go yet because I don’t have the cake recipe 🤣

Also, while I have you, why is my plot so ugly and how do I make it not

It’s like a goodwill shelter

[normal saddle]

same thing for shooting prey or catching bugs. If you hit something even once then the game will recongnized that you helped and therefore get loot

[prime olive]

-try going on tours to get some ideas

[tepid pine]

I have been on tours but I only have enough recipes for random stuff

[prime olive]

you have to lvl up

[tepid pine]

I’m so amazed at the tours

Like are these people interior designers

[prime olive]

it does take time

[tepid pine]

Yah I think furniture is my worst level

[normal saddle]

Explore around, some furniture is through random chance loot tables. Spend money at tish's shop and buy some furniture recipes (you can also just buy everything instead of making it but it's way more expensive) If you unlocked Zeki's secret side hustle, he has some neat things available. Like toilets.

In general you're going to need a lot of money to landscape. SOmetimes flowers drop from bugs.

Also, just go with the flow of how you decorate. If you think something would look neat, then place it. Experiment with design

[tepid pine]

I am literally mouth open, jaw dropped at peoples plots. How original and creative people are-even if they “steal” ideas. What a cool game!

[normal saddle]

The decor tab of the discord might be able to help you too. Asked them what to do with one of my rooms and they suggested apothrocary

[normal saddle]

Some dude on reddit made a whole blimp on his plot. I still have no idea how he did that. Someone else made a non working train. That was neat. A lot of builders blocks and tricks to make that one work

[prime olive]

it is trial and error, it took me a while to figure out the stairs and floor for my second level. lots of redoing and patience

[normal saddle]

it's been months and i'm still debating what size I should have my room at. Because currently it's a medium room but the beds look kind of cramped because I have a shoji screen acting as a privacy barrier, but if I make it into a large room then I need to rethink the entire layout of the house and that would suck. Tbh this would be fixed if S6 just let us have doors!

A beaded curtain, even, would be rad

[prime olive]

I have seen some non moving sliding doors made in tours

[normal saddle]

Heck, even a parted and tied back beaded curtain that acts as one of their pre eixting curtains would work

[normal saddle]

Know which plots they are? I might have to steal inspo

[prime olive]

no I didnt copy names

[normal saddle]

dang.

Youtube tutorials it is

[prime olive]

if you want to see the upper level and stairs you can check out my plot

[prime olive]

Trilana Char WindRaven if you want to check out the upper level and stairs

[tepid pine]

Wow so cool! I’ve been playing about a month and I haven’t even reached ten in anything but I’m so in awe of what you guys do!!!

[prime olive]

you will get there

[tepid pine]

Me coming from RPG-like I was playing KCD2 before this. had some life stuff happen and wanted a light, happy distraction …I tried sims, animal crossing, Disney dreamlight…they were soooo slow-my ADD brain couldn’t take it. so happy to have found this game!

[tepid pine]

Second level..WHAT

[prime olive]

yeah I needed something different too, I came from WOW and Final fantasy and other RPG games

[prime olive]

I am on tours if you want to check it out

[tepid pine]

Yah I played FF 7 rebirth-got to the end and didn’t stand a chance

[prime olive]

I am happy to share, feel free to steel ideas

[tepid pine]

Ok thank you!!!

I am a zelda gal at my core-I have exposed my age but have played every game since the beginning-this reminds me of BOTW

[red comet]

At this point they just need to give up on being able to port to the switch. It's not like they care about that playerbase anyway

[prime olive]

yeah I played wow from beginning, still have

[tepid pine]

I can’t wait to be 80 and playing palia from my nursing home

[prime olive]

lol it wont take you that long

[tepid pine]

Well if I’m being honest my first console was Atari

[prime olive]

Dating myself here, Comodore Amiga

I loved it and wrote programs

[tepid pine]

Lol we are born of the same cloth!

I miss Nintendo game cube 🤣

[prime olive]

had that one too

[indigo seal]

I just recently finished BOTW I got it and the switch because it reminded me of Elden Ring lol

But yeah Palia and BOTW have similarities for sure!

[prime olive]

Just keep playing and leveling up and you will get there

lol

[tepid pine]

Elden ring?? I really wanted to love that game but I was tooooo bad and I hated that I lost everything I had cuz I was so bad. Out of my league. Wish I was better

[indigo seal]

Def an acquired taste.. with patience needed. Unlike BOTW and Palia tho! Palia just drives me nuts with the RNG heh

[warm python]

Careful before you get booted to off topic /hj

[tepid pine]

For me it wasn’t just patience, I was horrible. Beautiful game but it lost its appeal when I just couldn’t progress because I kept dying and losing everything maybe I’m more used to hack and slash? I dunno! I lost my soul dog on 2/22 and I couldn't slash anymore-and now I'm addicted LOL

[tepid pine]

For real?

I just reached out on a topic and the conversation expanded-no grounds for booting

[indigo seal]

This is precisely why I kept moving the convo back to Palia, it’s ok! We’ll move on ☺️

[warm python]

LOL dw I don't want to minimod or anything! just before an actual mod ends up stepping in, they got more strict about it

[tepid pine]

I’m new and old so I don’t know the protocol. My fault.

[indigo seal]

It’s okie all good!

[tepid pine]

Thank god for discord cuz I’m on switch and I literally want to pull my hair out trying to join the chat!

I’m still crashing out of my plot-not nearly as bad as it was but good lord!

Ok! I just went in. Gonna try-it’s def way better than it’s been in a while. whatever fix they did on the PC side I think is helping the switch side because of traffic. I appreciate you all❤️

Oh its so much better-I was crashing to the point of not being able to play

[prime olive]

I same I have not played for a week , fingers crossed, loggged in and so far so good. I am on PC.

[tepid pine]

I’m still scared to go play hotpot because I get stuck in the loop-and it’s my favorite !

[prime olive]

can only try to see if it is fixed

[tepid pine]

I think they did a fix this morning-not sure where you are located but worth a try-def better today here in east coast USA

[prime olive]

I am west coast and yes I had a new update this morning, so far so good.

[tepid pine]

I moved from phoenix a year ago and my job is still remote in phx-it’s so confusing

[prime olive]

I am working on my last two pictures in the romance quests

I want all the pictures lol

[marble lotus]

So, ummmmm...... Thought they got rid of these...🤔

[marsh depot]

Interesting... Guess they only took them away for PC? No idea though.

[desert nebula]

I am still fairly new but I interpreted the announcement as being the ones you owned disappeared. I think the ones located in the wild are still around.

[marble lotus]

This is on my plot, I interpreted it as any that you have in your possession would temporarily disappear. But here it is.

[desert nebula]

Ohh that looked quite fancy I didn't realize that was your plot lol yeah we think the same so not sure why it is there

[vagrant lotus]

I might not be right but from the sound of the message in #📢│palia-status it sounds like they removed the Arcade from PC users view, but they are still investigating the cause of the switch crashes and that we can hope for a solution soon. Which sucks cause I havent really had any issues but I just tried for like an hour to get on and it's not letting me 😦

[paper steppe]

Funny how they remove arcade from PC but yet I still managed to crash today as I was leaving my plot smh I don’t think it was the issue

[lethal granite]

arcade machines that were placed before patch are no longer visible
you can try to place an arcade machine on your plot, but it’ll disappear after placement
your arcade machines in your storage will continue to be exactly as they were before — stored.
arcade machines will still count towards your furniture limit on your plot even tho they are ghosts now
switch did not get the fix that they announced in palia status, but tbh game so unstable on there i don’t really expect anything to help atp.

this is most of what i was told, but i also should go eat a food, so. ymmv with my accuracy.

[marble lotus]

My arcade machines were placed months before the patch. And there is an arcade machine available to buy in the underground right now. So visible for both PC and Switch users before and after the patch.

So I'm super confused by the announcement of arcade machines being disabled/temporarily removed, when clearly they haven't.

[rancid birch]

I'm confuzzled.

[lethal granite]

well dang. i was just reiterating what i heard here. that’s lousy.

[pearl wave]

either they did fix it and patch it in or they did oopsy and didn't fully do it

[lethal granite]

love the energy with using that emote here 10/10

[rancid birch]

UG still has all the arcade machines for me.

[rancid birch]

I literally just took this

It's in my UG right now.

My house one is still here too.

[hollow crescent]

their like frogbert, refusing to go away

[lethal granite]

wild! folks in general chat were saying they were disappeared entirely from their plots.

[mint sierra]

anyone that has not updated PC Platform, and anyone on switch, still have access to these, including the Underground

At this stage, Only those whom updated steam , have these visually disabled

If the devs really think this is the culprit, then we have conflicting files.. some enabled and some disabled only via the patch. Which could only mean 2 things, crashes ongoing and a little less of them for others that updated

[serene dawn]

I use the standalone launcher on PC and I still have my machine on my plot. Did the version number move past 0.190 after this hotfix?

[mint sierra]

Official palia launcher did not update correctly, I don't see an update for it.. Steam however received one and updated correctly to achieve what the devs stated (arcades visually disabled, no access to use them, however they are still in their spots, not removed ) end of day this temporarily drops the rate of crashes, however the crashes are still going to occur given the number of arcades in the game that are still accessible, until they either disable machines on all platforms properly or find the root cause.

[rancid birch]

I'm not playing on steam and I'm a PC user.

[hollow crescent]

man it’s gonna be a while before i get to play huh

[rancid birch]

So I guess that's why

[mint sierra]

steam is also a PC Platform.

theres the official launcher and steam both on PC

[brisk spruce]

whyyyy didn't they put that in #📢│palia-status? how are they so consistently terrible at communicating anything to us

[mint sierra]

Along with epic

[rancid birch]

But I've updated the platform on PC so I dunno I don't get it.

[mint sierra]

how did you update it?

[rancid birch]

Along with epic meaning it should or should not be updated what do you mean by that

[marsh depot]

And this is after the promises of "improving communication" too

[rancid birch]

I have a PC with standalone and a laptop with epic.

But I'm playing on epic right now on laptop...

[mint sierra]

What I am saying here is that anyone on using palia official , that has not simply updated automatically, closing the game and S6 deploying the hotfix and then launching game .. no updates connected through.. nothing patched correctly. Hence why everyone that is playing PC apart from via Steam has not had the machines disabled.

Steam updated correctly, and therefore no visual arcades.

[mint sierra]

I merely saying Epic is also pc.

[rancid birch]

So what you're saying if I understand correctly is unless you use steam, they didn't hotfix anything

[mint sierra]

Precisely..

[rancid birch]

Wow.

[mint sierra]

I'm currently testing something out.. launching from the exe files.. and see if that even patches anything ..

Steam patched. not others

[mint sierra]

removed my shortcuts, relaunched from game folder, nothing patched. Steam was the only one I have that patched correctly, they intended it to be for all PC and this is not the case.

[brisk spruce]

not the first time unfortunately

[mint sierra]

different versions of patch, I get that, but none for Official palia launcher. So not sure what was really achieved here.

[brisk spruce]

yeah, they've done that before where only steam got the patch on pc

dont know why they announced it like it was all pc players though 🙄

[warm python]

wonder if people are gonna have to wait till monday

[mint sierra]

I think we will be waiting until the next large update, give them time to really find the issue

[warm python]

So technically like, because of how plots are set up being all on one big zone but cordoned off, would that mean even steam launchers would get screwed if someone who's launching from official launcher/EGS/switch is in their "neighborhood" so to speak?

the latter person having arcade machines

[prime olive]

I am on PC and so far so good

fingers crossed

[stiff shadow]

Hello everyone! What's a good server to join with people that are actively playing the game?

[prime olive]

I don't know if you can join a server, when I play it constantly changes the server on me

[inner tide]

You will always be placed on a server with people in it - the game does that for you.

[stiff shadow]

Sorry, I am looking for a discord chatroom that is geared for people that are online right now. It would be nice if they were in the same server as me, just not sure how that works.

[brisk spruce]

try #1267631845013721158, might find one there

people here do play too but mostly post in #💬│palia-general or other channels while playing

[stiff shadow]

Thanks! I will try that.

[prisma veldt]

anyone else still has this error after the hotfix? and yea i downloaded the patch yesterday on my pc.

[dry flame]

Not always, they used to put me in a server alone for in game weeks at a time, no matter what I did. Real life days of getting off and being off for hours or a day.

[ember rampart]

I still crash from time to time, not as much as before. It's a change tho, even if it doesn't look completely solved

[prime olive]

no I downloaded the fix yesterday and have had no problems since, no more crashes, but I was getting that same message and could not play for a week

[swift token]

Hi ^_^
Do you play through the Stream Launcher?

[prime olive]

yes I do

on my PC

[runic eagle]

I play through the in-game launcher as well as Steam and both have been fine.

[prime olive]

good night all.

[lost hull]

I will be sharing this everywhere in all Palia chats I'm apart of in hope this doesn't happen to anyone else .
My little sister was asked to trade a plushie for a mystery box cloth gift with someone, they both agreed and did this but now my little sister has no access to her account, won't let her login , says account doesn't exist and she got a email from s6 banning her from game for breaking rules and guidelines. She now has to start all the way over losing EVERYTHING!!!
SHE has all plushies , all quest , temple bundles and friends ships maxed out . She worked very hard for all that and lost it by just making a switch with a person for a outfit.
This is truely sad .
I just thought I'd share for all those thinking about trading a plush for outfit mystery box !

[hollow crescent]

!support please contact support about this

[opal cypress]

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

[hollow crescent]

it’s sad cuz those in discord can be warned about things like this but not regular players

[olive carbon]

I don't think support can re-instate an account banned for trading in game items for real money items which is against their ToS.

[opal cypress]

yeaa, in wow something similar happened to my sis (she was in a group with ppl and they traded a drop for money she didn’t know happened) but her account was suspended for a few days while they looked into it. it’s sad that this person (and who knows how many else) straight up loses their account because of another person

[olive carbon]

But it's okay guys. Mystery gifting reduces fraud.

[hollow crescent]

only those in discord (and they have to be lucky to see the message unless it’s spammed) , cuz we know it takes a while for s6 to see feedback (if at all)

[rare pine]

Who could've ever predicted this happening?/s On a serious note. I'm really sorry this happened to your sister. I doubt she'll get any kind of resolution from support. They don't seem too keen on reinstating accounts.

[hollow crescent]

WoW had put that statement out the moment ppl were duping characters, FF always has some message about something. let it be social media, on their launcher (they really need a section for news or something tbh) cuz again the regular player (and young ones at that) won’t know

[rare pine]

This discord is basically their main hub for information. If you're not in here, you're in the dark.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a ToS violation. They also reserve the right to nuke your account for any reason so they don't even have to say anything.

[hollow crescent]

yes!

[olive carbon]

Probably not possible until they get firm communicative confirmation of such from someone. Which uh. Could be a while.

[hollow crescent]

at least elderwoods*

[olive carbon]

Couldn't hurt though /gen

[hollow crescent]

yea , unfortunate

[supple finch]

As someone with zero interest in the plushies this whole thing is fascinating

[wide hound]

The pinned comment will be updated with that info, though not as specific as "mystery gift exchanges will get you banned", but more like the hourly automated message "Real money transactions for in-game items are strictly against Palia's TOS, and will result in permanent bans for either or both of the selling and buying player."
Asking for mystery gift exchanges is already not allowed, as it goes against the TOS (as mentioned earlier). It's ok if folks want to discuss the fact that they sent each other stuff, but not to ask for, or organize giveaways for them (the whole safety/scam issue).

[wind nymph]

SO...i want to look cool while shooting and can't for the life of me figure out this animination canceling. when i jump and try to shoot i hit the ground first. left mouse/right mouse....so frustrated! what am i doing wrong???

[shadow steeple]

does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of all the paintings and frames that exist in the game? i'm starting to try to collect them all

[runic eagle]

Here's a list for the ones in the Underground, there are others you can earn through questlines with the NPC's and things though.
https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/The_Underground#Decor_Item_Selection

[shadow steeple]

helpful! thank you both! @tulip anvil @runic eagle

[ruby nest]

@onyx bone I saw the patch updates about the arcade machines. I checked the one I have on one of my plots this morning and it’s still there. There may also be one in my storage. I don’t get a chance to check on that one. IGN : Xilen…… (Edit: I did see that I misunderstood the part about the being for PC. Sorry, I got excited because it’s been almost a year since Switch players could play freely without getting kicked from the server and it’s usually multiple times back to back. I really do apologize for the misunderstanding.)

[olive carbon]

But apparently only for some, which I've gathered so far to be pretty much only steam or steam adjacent players(?)

[runic eagle]

Yeah mine's been removed if I log on through Steam, but still there through the in-game launcher.
Not sure about Switch, I haven't checked on there yet.

But that being said I've only crashed a couple of times trying to head into the UG prior the patch and once during the Balloon Pop at the Maji Market, haven't had any issues post patch.

[ruby nest]

I’m on Switch

[marsh depot]

According to the announcement, they're still "investigating" the Switch issues and that there will be a solution "soon". The removal of arcade machines has only applied to those launching the game from steam.

They definitely should have clarified this better though, as it has caused a lot of confussion.

[runic eagle]

Yeah they are still investigating issues for Switch players but the announcement clearly states they have removed them from the game, which isn't the case from player feedback, they are still in the game for in-game launcher players as well.

[marsh depot]

Yes, I'm aware of that. They definitly did mess up something there (I wasnt trying to defend the status btw, if that's what it seemed, just to clarify).

[ruby nest]

The part they’re still working on for the Switch is the system crash that has been going on for almost a year. The “needle in a haystack” they found was that the arcade machines were causing everyone to experience a system crash. They were supposed to remove them all until they can correct that issue.

[marsh depot]

Okey.

[runic eagle]

Correct Xil.

[runic eagle]

Oh I didn't take it that way. I was just trying to clarify the post and what has occurred instead of from player feedback

[ruby nest]

@marsh depot sorry I didn’t see that Nostalgia responded while I was typing.

[loud axle]

So what's the situation? Crashes still occurring?

[hollow crescent]

for some/most? ppl yes

arcades still there for some too even tho their supposed to be removed for pc?

[warm python]

allegedly the hotfix has only been pushed to steam clients

[hollow crescent]

ah

[warm python]

so not the official client and I guess not EGS?

and obviously not switch too

[errant juniper]

Only Steam..?? Wasnt it supposed to be PC in general?

[hollow crescent]

that’s what they said but ✨ miscommunication ✨

[errant juniper]

Seriously????

[hollow crescent]

probably thought it’d cover all pc with the fix but didn’t take into account the different ways to play on pc

[errant juniper]

That is wild

[fiery perch]

Im not a programmer or coder or anything, but... if they are still there on some systems/platforms-- makes me believe they are only "invisible" (ofc) ... so wouldn't the crashing issue via arcade machines persist since... you know... theyre still there.. (invisible or not)?

[hollow crescent]

i’d assume so unless they like, block/comment the code part out? idk how’d that effect ppl tbh but from my understanding they take “snapshots”? to save what ppl have so can see who had an arcade or not?

coding is tricky

[fiery perch]

I know some folks mentioned that their plot limit didnt change, and cant pick up like, their tent if it was in it. Its why im like ...

Just makes me wonder

[thorn temple]

maybe they can set visibility on assets, 1 being visible to players, 0 being not, while said item is still there. Not sure if that's a thing on UE5 - if so, that'd make the arcade a visual issue, or people playing it/doing something on it issue... ah dunno 😄

[lost hull]

Update she has her account back after I messaged s6

[signal kayak]

well, that's good

[shadow steeple]

are others still crashing on pc too or is it just me?

[signal kayak]

apparently some are, yes

[lucid hornet]

well, depends on whats exactly the issue with it and how their housing works.
lets say we assume there is some problem when rendering it, once its „invisible“ it doesnt get rendered, that could be enough to fix it.

The problem could also be deeper and in some state update code of the arcade machine, depending on how their housing works they also could just not send the item placement to the client. That way the client doesnt know its there, so it doesnt create a instance of it - like I said, for the client it isnt placed on the plot in this case.

[fiery perch]

Just wanting to say thank you for explaining this bit to me!

[young nebula]

Palia support is telling people it is not recommended but not that they can be banned over this. The people they told this to now think it is not against TOS. Perhaps a public announcement or something needs to be made across social media regarding this issue.

[wide hound]

Noted. Brought it to the team and once we get confirmation from S6, we'll update everyone.

[young nebula]

Thank you! I would just hate to see people get banned over the confusion.

[hollow crescent]

tbh even if the person “was at risk” #💬│palia-general message the item would get removed from the person who received it (this is about a stolen card) but i’d assume it’d be similar. confusing on it all

[young plank]

i give up on trying to put my two cents in. Im here for the bonfire dont forget your marshmellows yall

[hollow crescent]

i haven’t been in much but i guess improvement wise: i liked how they had the different colors between main/side quests. that despite things being buggy/how often they are able to update, they do try to fix things (like with market or like this issues now with crashing). coding is hard work especially when you have to figure out what’s going wrong somewhere in it

oh nice love that

[ember rampart]

Wow, this game can't be more bugged!
In Chapaa chase, some players are able to get them, while some of us can't, so...bye-bye tickets. I worked so hard to join every Maji to get what I need for my house 🙃
Probably will take a break from Palia again seeing only cons rather than something attractive to keep me on the game. No loot pile, still crashing, bugging event for some, while others are free to play in Maji...🤷‍♀️

[eager bobcat]

Oh my word yes that was such a helpful change!

[errant juniper]

Flirting with Hodari is so hot and cold, I swear - first (and last) time I chose "I just wanna squeeze those biceps" 😖 and he hits me with this. My guy, please. Where the hell did you get the jealousy part from lmao

[abstract plinth]

ok ok hear me out. it gets better. get higher romance with him and the response is GOLD! trust me you'll love it. if you're still not sold/ just wanna see it now, I believe I have a screenshot on my switch, I could sen the pic so you can see. its beautiful and hilarious!

[errant juniper]

I'm not level 4 yet with him, so I wanna keep it a surprise! but thank you

[abstract plinth]

on a similar note, fyi, the same dialogue options can end in different results depending on your relationship with the person in question. I've noticed this multiple times, its interesting actually. I like coming back occaisionally and seeing if they say something different! its quite fun!

[errant juniper]

I love Hassian - except for that damn yogurt line. I wanna catch and set Chapaas free in his Grove everytime he says it

Hodari is very sweet, I'm kinda surprised how "easy" it was to romance him. Sure, you have to get NAjuma to level 4 but I would have expected a bit more resistance somehow

[abstract plinth]

Understood! no worries I won't spoil it! but once you do get level 4 romance with him, definitely check it out, you'll love it! and, if you do, pls let me know, I'd love to hear your reaction. That dialogue is actually one of my faves from him lol

[abstract plinth]

same tbh

[errant juniper]

I'm baffled how people do not see how important Najuma is to him. 50% of his dialogue, maybe even more is about her lol

[abstract plinth]

ye i wish he'd stop lying ab yougurt. just tell me straight up dude. we all know you're not thinking about yougurt

[errant juniper]

Ikr.. I get that repeating dialogue is a thing but damn that line grinds my gears lmao

[abstract plinth]

wait i started playing at the end of winterlights and didn't do any of those quests. care to enlighten me ab it? id love to hear it

[errant juniper]

I wonder if they will ever raise the romance level cap.. or about their romance plans in general

[rancid birch]

We figured out last night the only people who got the hotfix were steam users.

[errant juniper]

I think its this one

I could be wrong cause I took a lot of breaks inbetween so I might have missed something

[abstract plinth]

aw thats so cute! thanks! and i lied earlier. I remember after googling that i did like one (maybe 2) winterlights quests. somethin ab candles and talking to the villagers.

[rancid birch]

I still have my arcade machines on desktop straight palia launcher from back in the day, and on laptop on epic.

And of course switch users sadly.

They don't care so why bother at this point. Hubby has played on switch for a year and 4 months now, they definitely don't care about switch users crashing.

[abstract plinth]

i'm a fairly newish player (ab 4 months) do events happen the next yr as well? like, will i be able to access winterlights quests next year during winterish time? or was it a 1 time thing?

[rancid birch]

Luna new year has happened yearly so theoretically yes.

I can't say for sure tho cuz...it's S6 so nothing is written in stone 🤣

[prisma summit]

I'm about to smite S6 for CONSTANTLY crashing apon entering Kilima know and deploying my paraglider... XD

[abstract plinth]

but I imagine its a different luna new year theme? Idk much ab the asian culture luna new year is based on, but isn't there a different animal? like year of the naga translates to year of the snake, bc naga is a snake, so next year will be a different animal? so sry if this is a rude or offensive comment, not trying to be mean, just ignorant!

[rancid birch]

Hubby on switch doesn't even try to go to kilima anymore it's so sad.

I play on laptop next to him and just watch him crash over, and over, and over, it's horrible.

[prisma summit]

In all seriousness though S6... PLEASE fix your game... XD

[abstract plinth]

speaking of s6, what is with them and dead wives?

there are no dead husbands

[rancid birch]

On the plus side I've gotten more raspberry beetles than ever before

🤣

[marsh depot]

It seems to be based around the Chinese New Year and going by the Chinese Zodiac calendar. Since this was the year of the snake, they released the time limited naga plushie, banner and nameplate. The rest of the event was the same as last years. So yes, based on that we could assume it will follow next years zodiac animal too.

[rancid birch]

Quests were same too

So if you did last year's quests you didn't do them this year which confused a lot of people.

[abstract plinth]

I'm on switch, I've learned that going toward maji's hollow, or at least to sifuu's house, stopped it from crashing

[rancid birch]

I will have him try that next time. He usually crashes like 5 steps in or if from the sign, halfway to zekis.

And walking not running.

[clear hazel]

I was also wondering why I can still see the arcade machine. Out of 3 of us last night 2 of us could still see them and interact with them on our plots.

[ruby nest]

I’ve been on the that long, too.

[ruby nest]

They’ve done Winterlights last year and this year.

[thorn temple]

The patch only affects steam, so everyone else will still see the arcade and/or crash

[warm python]

Lmf I just spent fifteen min ranting to my friend in the car about the last two weeks in Palia

[signal kayak]

it's good to rant, feels great to get it out

[warm python]

It is, we're just trading off on ridic gaming news

[scarlet hazel]

the patch only affecting steam is wild ngl

[lethal granite]

when they have a native launcher, you’d think if only one version got it it’d be that one.

[signal kayak]

i would have thought that updating only one platform (steam) would cause more problems for the other systems seeing as how this game is cross play and all

[outer gust]

is anyone else having issues with gifting? sometimes when I go to give someone a gift, only a few items react to my mouse. For example, I want to gift Chayne some dari cloves, but I can't click on it. I can only select my palium bars, a couple different foods, and silk threads

I've tried exiting the conversation and restarting it, but it doesn't change anything.

[mint sierra]

This tells you something, the percentage of players using Steam launcher is higher, thus they concentrated on that first.

[modest merlin]

Does anyone even have a living husband in this game?

Oh badruu

[abstract plinth]

ye but like, why are there multiple known dead wives. no dead husbands that I know of. whats with that?

[mint sierra]

blame ||caleri for never getting married||

[abstract plinth]

wait why? why's it her fault?

[modest merlin]

Tbf, there are more wives in general

[mint sierra]

it was a joke

[abstract plinth]

I noticed that too. but like, between sifuu, hodari, and ashura, why are there more dead wives than husbands?

[modest merlin]

Disney has the same problem. Name one Disney protagonist with both parents.

[mint sierra]

I mean you have badruu and you have kenli

[modest merlin]

Oh, I forgot about Kenli, but who doesn’t?

[warm python]

Do we know that for sure? Cause honestly it's more likely at this point that there was a screwup

If they were only focusing on Steam I'd think they'd say it was only pushed on Steam, not on all PC

[mint sierra]

S6 has not communicated a thing, when do they really tell us what is going on.. I don't blame them, but it is clear they are still investigating.

steam and palia official client would be 2 different versions of patch, both intended to do same, same end result. I just don't see one for the official client. Regardless S6 will resolve this no doubt.

[marsh depot]

The announcement has caused enough confusion already because it's stated that the fix was intended for PC players. Only for most of us to find out it was only pushed in Steam, so I can't blame people for assuming it'd be pushed on all PC platforms.

Once again, their communication is spotty and they take little accountability.

[errant juniper]

Rapunzel (Tangled) and Mirabel (Encanto)

[mint sierra]

From the statement in status, visually disabling arcades is just temporary, so they are working on the proper fix by the end of next patch.. Root cause is still an issue

• issue resolved on our next patch - clear enough for me

[marsh depot]

And again in the status it says "PC players", not just "steam".

But alright, kinda missing the point Rel and I had made.

[mint sierra]

I already know the point friend.. Relica knows I stated prior that it was only patched on steam.. discussions go way back

but I am not here to debate anything nor blame s6, they are doing their best

[warm python]

Exactly, they didn't say "only Steam". They said it was for all PC players. They screwed the pooch somewhere before they headed out for the weekend, because it was indeed not what they claimed

[signal kayak]

miguel from coco

[marsh depot]

Ngl your reply felt kinda dismissive of the point we made with saying "feels clear enough to me".

[mint sierra]

I have covered this plenty earlier in this thread.. I am just not one that likes to repeat things

[warm python]

I've seen enough massive screwups for more than a year and a half that if this is "their best", it's a serious issue

[mint sierra]

again , yes they said PC. meaning should cover all PC platform base

sadly no.. and I clarified this plenty.

[signal kayak]

switch has been dealling with crashes since it came out in 2023, they still haven't fixed anything on that front. so not holding out hope for a fix for them

and this is coming from a switch only player

[marsh depot]

Alright, just saying not everyone is present all the time, so my apologies.

[mint sierra]

It is all good friend, I just personally feel that if I repeat same things, it can come across that I don't appreciate S6.. but I have every faith in them and they will pull through, they just need time

[thorn temple]

That's gotta be blind faith thus far, considering the track record that's laid before us heh

I do like some of the staff though that've come on here, but some are gone now, rest never seen. The bosses I'm not a fan of and whoever greenlights everything.

[signal kayak]

i'm sure that the devs do try to do what they can, but the higher ups than them are the true main problem. but, as long as the higher ups are in charge, this game is going downhill at a much faster rate than what can be recovered, i feel

[mint sierra]

Well friend, each to their own, everyone is entitled to their opinions. This is a company that created an amazing game, and they know what they are doing, none of us are engineers or coders for this game. This is their child and they care more than we do to make sure it blooms.

[signal kayak]

agree to disagree

[warm python]

There have absolutely been coders/engineers/people in the industry who have been in the chat who say it's a mess

[thorn temple]

I don't agree they know what they're doing, when the sheer amount of broken stuff continually appears. However I do agree the core game/story/ideas are indeed ftw -and- I want to know more, which is a good sign. But if they don't pull off EW/next consoles decently, coffins are being nailed, I just can't see it surviving.

[mint sierra]

none that know the game intimately .. So from an external point of view .. there looks to be there are some hiccups , I get that, does not take a genius to realize that at all though.

[pearl wave]

It's not too much to ask for no more bugs and communication

[marsh depot]

Also possibly worth mentioning most of the important decisions are not made by the devs, but by the higher up and we don't know what their intentions might be (well, we sort of do but ).

[warm python]

Some hiccups is saying it lightly... I've never played a game even in beta that gets this screwy, and on top of that heavily monetizes

[marsh depot]

I recently watched a video explaining the fall of Starbound, and Palia very much seems to be going down a similar path. Not to say I want the game to fail, I would like to see it succeed and improve but many of their decisions and executions have been very much questionable, and it doesn't take to be a dev or a "genius" to see that either.

[signal kayak]

they are working towards full release, yet the game keeps adding new bugs every update, some of which cause players to not even play the game efficiently by crashing every so often for random things. i would think that the closer they got to wanting to full release (which may or may not happen when EW is released supposedly in the next 3 months if they keep to the q2 release plan) there would be less bugs, but that's my take on it

[rare pine]

I mean.... we do have the Glassdoor reviews... [From people who actually worked on the game.]

[polar elbow]

See, I was forgiving of bugs, and "beta" when they first launched. I expected, however, that the issues we all associate with 'beta' would diminish over time as the team figured out the workflow of an actually-released game, and issues would be largely resolved by the time they launched 1.0.
That hasn't happened, communication is still a mess and bugs are abundant. They've had over a year to figure things out by that point. If it's gotten worse over the past year, those problems aren't going to magically disappear when 1.0/EW arrives in a few months.

[dry flame]

You can say this over and over but for those of us who have been dealing with them telling us for more than a year that they have fixed it or are working on it, only for it to get worse, we know better. Actions speak louder then words. Simple as that.

[worn snow]

i feel so silly looking at the glassdoor reviews as someone who will never work there likely.

but ig someone here did apply for the cm role? so

[mint sierra]

and you assume I have not been here for longer? lol

The game is beautiful, not flawless, If I thought it was so bad I would go find another game to play personally

[warm python]

Respectfully some of the most critical people here go back as far as alpha, it ain't people's first rodeo

[mint sierra]

nor mine friend.

[brisk spruce]

there's a lot of people hanging around waiting for elderwoods before giving up hope (and they do play other games in the meantime)

[dry flame]

Don't tell me what I assume. I have over 3,000 hours and idc if you have more, all they do is talk no actions so keep blabbing you're wrong finished.

[hollow crescent]

tbh at this point to doesnt matter how long ppl have been playing the game, its unplayable for some but not all, only thing we as players is can leave feedback and wait for stuff to happen. theres alot for the devs to do, and yea those higher up need to be thinking (i feel) of maintaining the player base, and not focusing on makin money too much

[mint sierra]

I do not stand for disrespect towards myself.. Blabbing is not what I do. thank you. (I am a respectful person, not niave !)

Personally I can see Elderwood being amazing and a game changer for Palia. Looking forward to it

[polar elbow]

it's perfectly fine to enjoy the game. No one's arguing that. The 'argument', here, is largely the longer term players pointing out S6's track record to date has... not shown much improvement in terms of correcting issues around communication, management, listening to feedback, etc, and are simply warning against blind optimism that everything will magically turn out fine in the end

[hollow crescent]

same, i hope to get some enjoyment out of it when it arrives got a lot of vibes i like it

[marsh depot]

Agreed. It really shouldn't matter how long someone's played or if someone is a dev/programmer/manager to be able to provide feedback or simply express frustration with the state of the game. Games need player feedback. I would like to hope Elderwoods goes well but it's also hard to see it succeeding with so many issues ongoing already.

[raven orbit]

Personally, while I hope Elderwoods delivers, I can't ignore the track record that has been established. Until accessibility is even talked about and worked on, I can't call it a gamechanger either - no matter how good it may be on release /Gen

[forest herald]

If they want the game to succeed they need to add more Big quests/missions content for every NPC, more new stuff to the existing game before we get Elderwoods.. I'm a closed beta player and bored as hell 😢

[hollow crescent]

mhm. i like to think of kilima/bahari bay as the "starting/tutorial areas" and that it'll expand more as we go

[signal kayak]

while i also do hope that elderwoods is an amazing, if not for me for those that still love palia, i also fear that the way s6 and the higher ups have been currently managing everything that elderwoods will be a little to late to save the game by itself. there have been too many broken promises and missed opportunities since the layoffs and acquisition with daybreak, that the older players that left, won't be coming back

[swift token]

Someone from this server? That sounds great! 😮

[mint sierra]

Facts, Elderwood is a continuance of the existing game, it proceeds to disclose more of the lore, and therefore more main line story quests are inevitable

Our existing NPC's will surely have more role play added with this and the quests to come

[signal kayak]

doesn't mean anything if the quests can be completed within a week of update

it's one of the problems that i had with palia after playing for some months, once you've done everything, got everything, then there's nothing to do in the game

[swift token]

What would you like to do? /gen

I'm playing really slowly so I dont finish it fast.... but don't even have an idea what I would want to do if I did finish it.

[dry flame]

Or if you can't play it bcuz they are still trying to figure out what's wrong with the game not working for alot of us. For those who are able to play, I truly hope it's great for them.

[signal kayak]

plushies are all rng, you could spend hours hunting the same thing to no avail, decor items are limited to 3000 for the plot, so new items that get released are hard to integrate with a plot that you're happy with

[raven orbit]

I don't think it matters how many quests they release with it if it's all thrust into the same RNG mechanics and the core foundation of the game is still an inaccessible mess - when many of the games populace can't even play, it's hard to see it as a continuation instead of just filled - if that makes sense/gen

[signal kayak]

there's nothing to work for to keep some players interested in the long run, which means that we're not going to be willing to pay for the cosmetics

[dry flame]

Yes!

[polar elbow]

My personal gripe is that everythingthat is considered 'endgame' revolves entirely around decorating your plot and nearly everything else that a player might want to collect to show off (read: cosmetics, pets, etc) is not earnable at all and is instead completely paywalled
The end result being, once you're satisfied with how your house looks, there is nothing else you can earn that can be enjoyed anywhere else in the game, because 99.9% of earnables in palia are either home decor or something leading into home decor

[raven orbit]

And if people can't play because they can't progress because of the lack of accessibility, Elderwoods will mean nothing to them - myself included. It's nice for those that will be able to access it, but many of us can't and haven't been given any information on if we ever even will be able to. Not even if there will be any information on the roadmap /gen

[signal kayak]

what roadmap? we haven't been given one, though they supposedly will have one after ew

[dry flame]

I haven't been able to do any quest for almost a year and I can't do groves or bug lures, for the same amount of time, or party up nothing. But " they're trying " HA!

[raven orbit]

I can't access half the game because I physically cannot do fishing and there's no way for others to trade me fish so I feel you. I've been playing since beta began back in 2023 /gen

[raven orbit]

A bit ago WC mentioned the roadmap they were working on and when asked if accessibility would be mentioned on it said something along the lines of "no idea"

[dry flame]

I can't go to kilima either, it's been so long I forgot that one. It is just ridiculous.

[signal kayak]

that's super helpful for those that are waiting for that

[raven orbit]

The fact that it can't be said if its on makes me think pretty clearly that it isn't being worked on or at least being worked on at a snails pace /gen

[worn snow]

idk if i swallowed it back bc i felt it was too mean but i rmbr thinking... how are we able to trust that accessibility is really a priority after the snowball thing, if you can't promise it'll be on the roadmap?

[raven orbit]

Yeah...that was my exact thinking. We've gotten no word on accessibility save for one single blog post that hasn't even fully delivered on what it promised / corrected the issues with what was delivered. If there is ever a time to make sure it's being acknowledged, it's on a roadmap for what is hyped to be your biggest update and the thing you've been working on for like 2 years it feels like /gen

[swift token]

I think the issue is this actually 😔

#💬│palia-discussions message

[mint sierra]

100% I was there reading at the time.. I don't disagree with many in here , S6 needs to do better to gain the trust back

[raven orbit]

I honestly don't know. I feel like they're trying to do both, among other things, but not fully developing them and as a result they feel shallow at least to me personally. Like the weird limitations building and the weird limitations with gardening, but also how some quests have no real substance /gen

[boreal forge]

WC hates this community lol

sorry but…it’s true

he should take note on the amount of other players giving this similar feedback on the game that many others have been kicked from the discord for. it’s not the community dude, it the fact that you suck at running this game

[signal kayak]

the limitation of decorations i can understand since people play on the potato with a screen and it has a hard time dealing with housing plots that are closer to the 3000 limit. gardening, we can agree to disagree on this, but 9 plots is more than enough right now to make passive money on if you can keep up with the gardening. though, i do wish we could get some of the building glitches on switch that can be done on the pc versions (standalone buildings and buildings that have walls missing

[raven orbit]

I more mean the lack of clipping ability in regard to decorating

[signal kayak]

oh yeah, hate having to use the bowl (always forget where i placed it) to do what probably should be done naturally. or at the very least, let us have a way to combine furniture blueprints into one item

[warm python]

If they keep adding in more crops tho and keep it at nine plots.... Idk lol

[signal kayak]

depends on the crops, and what each individual player would need as far as for cooking. because you can always swap out same buff crops for each other, or at least one of each crop in a layout as long as it gives the buff you need, especially if you're just looking for cooking and not the passive income. a layout in gardening that is showing just potatoes, cabbage, bok choy and onions for example could easily substitute the other crop into it by removing some spots from the other two

i don't really see what other buffs could be needed in gardening, honestly. we have the weed block, water retention, harvest boost, and quality boost buffs/fertilizers, so i don't know what other buffs could be implemented other than speedy grow (which we all know is broken currently when paired with other buffs)

[warm python]

I'm more thinking of new players who see all this stuff to cook and only have space for a few of the ingredients

[signal kayak]

i mean, the whole point of a "cozy" game is to take it slow and relax with the game after a stressful day. it's like have a level 1 character join a mmo like FF14 and trying to beat the level 100 bosses day one (note - i have never played ff14 so i have no idea if that comparison is factual)

i still go into gardening every once and a while to remind new players not to make afk plots until they have the weed whacker achievement unlocked since that's easy renown

[peak quail]

Did I miss something? What was the surprise for April 1st?

[marsh depot]

Just the paid googly glasses. That was it.

I guess you could say the surprise was that they were the wrong price /j

[warm python]

A more apt comparison is that leveling to 100 is like going from being able to only purchase one plot to being able to purchase all of them. Not having enough space would be akin to getting to max level, fighting a boss, then not being able to fight another boss until you switched jobs. And there was a cooldown to do it.

[polar elbow]

It's more like....getting frustrated because your "class fantasy" is being a farmer with a giant farm, and instead of letting you live that fantasy by leveling to 100 and eventually upgrading your plot into a giant farm, you're stuck with what amounts to a baby newbie-tier farming plot and there is nothing you can do to actually live the 'fantasy' you want to.

It's not about wanting to be level 100 on day 1. The problem is that skill progression comes to a screeching halt at level 10, and even if you do level all the way to 100, you're still stuck at level 10 in terms of what you're allowed to do.

[marsh depot]

This is a situation where I prefer OSRS and Brighter Shores approach to skill leveling. You still have stuff to unlock the further you level, until you reach the cap. So you always have a goal to achieve, XP boosts, different tools, crops and such. Sure it's a grind but at least it doesn't just stop progressing at level 10/25 like in Palia.

[barren wyvern]

I would argue true leveling really caps around 25 since you still get non-starred crops before then, but it does halt after that.

[inner tide]

hmm. one could argue you still have to lvl 50 for your trophy but after that there is only achievements left. they kept me entertained for some time.
but now the only thing left is hunting plushies and that is not something I personally enjoy a lot.

[fresh leaf]

I would like to see more trophies, like a “Palium” trophy for mastery when hitting level 100 to help encourage players to play and improve their levels.
Fishing is mostly irritating for me, because if you’re not fishing for the big epic fish, the amount of exp you receive is minute. So that score is taking me forever. I still have one fish to go, so I’m still fishing but I’m close to hitting the level 50 finally and will likely not fish until elderwoods is released

[runic eagle]

I've been asking in Feedback for over a year now for Palium trophy's at level 100, I mean why not 🤷‍♀️ like you said it gives players another incentive to level up and play the game, and the trophy model is already in game and so is the ore.

[fresh leaf]

The pan pals trophy needs another tier too, it’s wierd just having the 2 when I have 3 of everything else. What if it’s like, cook 10 of everything with friends? 😂 I don’t know, just something

Well… I can only get 12 on the arcade game I literally started the day before they took it away lol
And was going to pop that trophy beside it for now

[runic eagle]

If they do ever give us these though, they just need to make sure they give them to all of us who have hit this mark already like other achievements they have done in the past

[fresh leaf]

I’m excited for the roadmaps too because we’ll know better about what’s in the drip for us coming up and will allow us to better plan for things.

[runic eagle]

Should be coming out before long, according to WC either right before or with EW release.

[thorn temple]

hmm the convo went right through the night I see 😮

[fresh leaf]

There was the last time where we went through those few moments where we started to see a lot more discontent and it’s completely valid.

I’m still holding onto a spark because I get to do things but I’ve also noticed a lot of my friends are slowly disappearing too. A few players return each patch to see what’s new, and others come to see the patch notes and then leave again.

I can see why the fatigue is setting in for a lot of people, I still like to run around from time to time and I’ve still given myself things to do while I wait for elderwoods (romancing all the NPCs, Reth and Hassian are done, I still have to get Najuma up to friendship to finish Hodaddy, one fish, recipe completion, some crop mastery)

There is no point in denying that the elderwoods release is going to be a major turning point for the game in one way or another. We just have to wait to see what happens.

I don’t play daily as I used to, real life has much demand for my attention, but when I do get on, I’m not overly upset at the crashes. If there are 3-4 back to back, I might decide to take a break for the day, but otherwise I still get out there where possible.

[hollow crescent]

same, i think what’s nice abiut palia is it doesn’t “force” you to log on to do dailies, but it’s kind of a double edge sword cuz atm (as it’s been discussed many times) there’s no incentive for ppl to log on besides their own personal goals. i’m one of those ppl that find enjoyment in playing (even if it’s with the limited time i have to play via bugs or irl stuff). and like above i can take a break or play something else if something prevents me from playing. I’m excited for the future of the game, whatever that may be we will find out

[marsh depot]

Just report and block, but don't post their IGN here. Sorry you had to go through that convo though.

[wispy lark]

Thank you i deleted the screenshot.

Noted! ill know for next time sorry

[marsh depot]

Again, sorry you had to go through that. It's not very common but theres always people like that in every game, but at least the blocking system will prevent them from being in the same in game server as you, iirc.

[ember rampart]

Someone really needs to fix the constant bug in chapaa chase from Maji....
It happens often for some players to be able to catch chapaa, while the rest of us are bugged and can't pick them up. Leave alone the fact to catch 25 in one game is kind of mission impossible, considering that every game there are 10 players "fighting" to get a chapaa

[errant juniper]

My guy

[warm python]

Did they still not fix the accidental-wrong-push of the chapaa chase...? Cause last a dev mentioned in here they accidentally pushed the OG version (before they fixed it and increased the chapaa amount)

[thorn temple]

doesn't grouping work for the catch 25?

[warm python]

That was a while ago at this point

[wispy matrix]

I usually dip after the balloons, feel like there ought to be more aggressive scaling with chapaa spawns Vs players in server

I feel kinda mean swooping in and grabbing them

[mint sierra]

yes, but that was about LNY chapaa chase

https://discordapp.com/channels/809856101326913567/809886640285417480/1336877370484719746 and appy said later they would fix it

which it was , a little late, but got fixed

[warm python]

There confirmation it got fixed? Not sure if I missed it in the patch notes

[olive carbon]

I think the only "confirmation" was from players reporting the total amount caught per server went back up to pre-LNY spawn rates

[mint sierra]

I noted from the chase itself.. it was improved in the very last few days.

[ember rampart]

That was possible?
My maximum is 24 and this happened in an early morning where there were few players for this 🥲

[warm python]

Yeah I was just wondering cause I've also heard the opposite floating around LOL

[olive carbon]

It "reverted" to the "correct" rates the update after LNY afaik

[olive carbon]

Conflicting reports and a lack of official clarity? Here's my shocked face:

[warm python]

This is what happens when your patch notes are incomplete... Anecdotal evidence isn't always the easiest to judge things like rates on

[warm python]

With the disclaimer that I don't play the game anymore so I can't give any current info on the state of the chase:

When it first came out all heck broke loose because yeah, there were not enough chapaas for players, and on top of that they didn't have the feature where you'd also get tickets for total catched by all players on the map. They blessedly put in a fix pretty quickly and boosted the rate of spawns (as well as added that feature)

But then for the most recent LNY, they accidentally pushed live the original version without buffed spawns

And I hear conflicting reports as to whether that was resolved or not, cause yeah, anecdotal evidence and nothing was officially mentioned in patch knows, just one dev briefly mentioning it in here one day

....its wild remembering a time where they could actually implement fixes quickly

I do hope that means it got fixed but patch notes about this plssss

[ember rampart]

Umm, buffed? I don't know, guys, maybe the difference of servers?! But where I play, both me and other players noticed that chapaas spawn relatively slowly 😅
Just very few times to be decent and to catch several in a run, but if you don't sweat and "battle" with 10 other players to catch one...well...

[warm python]

Throwback to when people were using cheaty programs that made it look like they were pulling chappas out of their butt

[ember rampart]

Was this a thing? Wth...

[steady barn]

Looking at the the of ruins of humanity in game reminds me of the poem Ozymandias fr fr

[young plank]

i remember this LOL

[warm python]

yeah, I have no idea if I'm even allowed to say it but there was a cheaty program back then that allowed people to yoink chapaas from across the map, looked like they were pulling them out of their butt tho

[ember rampart]

It depends on chance. Servers are mostly full of players running around at spawn areas. I spam E a lot to get one since everyone is doing the same. I move pretty fast, I enjoy this game, but it's "sweaty", ngl

[ember rampart]

That's bizarre to cheat on such a relaxing game where there is no competition between players like fighting, skills, armour (except votes for house tours and chapaa chase)

[errant juniper]

Chapaa Hunt is bringing out the worst in people, I swear (I'm one of them 🤣 )

[mint sierra]

the spawn rates were fixed for LNY from what I noted from the counter .. along with the Prize wheel..

[warm python]

iirc it was mostly stuff to make things "easier" like grabbing loot off the map from far away, or automating fishing, or seeing items on the map that you're not supposed to see labeled. at the supreme risk of getting this message bonked, the last one was in a program that was pretty widely used before S6 decided after a back and forth that it wasn't allowed. not sure how popular it still is though

[warm python]

Oh yeah I remember in the first few days of its introduction, before they fixed it, people were at each others' throats LOL

[ember rampart]

Imagine fighting for real and getting angry for some chapaa 🤣 🤣

[errant juniper]

The ratio between Chapaas to Players is insane. And then you run after one and somehow the person BEHIND you gets the one you've been running after

Its SO STUPID but it makes me wanna screech lmao

[ember rampart]

This happens all the time, omg! Like they are in the back and poof 😭

[warm python]

Yup... cause technically the person on screen may not ACTUALLY be where you see them. I wanna say some kind of server lag but i'm sure there's a more technical terminology for what that's as such

[errant juniper]

Yeah, its probs some server issue.. and I KNOW THAT but oh my god is it annoying

[warm python]

so technically they are in front of you but it doesn't look that way on your screen. but because it doesn't look that way, it's still SO frustrating

'cause like man if I knew they were actually in front of me I'd change course and go for a different rat

[errant juniper]

I just want the tiny plushies and be done with this event.. but I keep getting duplicates so honestly, its probably best this event only lasts for a week 😂

[ember rampart]

I am collecting sweets on my side, so I really "sweat" to get as many tickets as possible 🤣🤣

[warm python]

When they originally fixed the spawn and ticket issue waaaaaay back in the day so quickly, it was one of the biggest props I'd given S6, even if I was already getting critical I absolutely had to give it to them on that

it's just sad that we don't see those quick fixes anymore

whether it be due to nintendo certification time, massive staff layoffs, whatever else, all of the above

[fiery perch]

"Server Desync" is usually what I say and try to explain this. This has been an issue since Maji first got added to the game

[warm python]

that's the phrase I was trying to think of yes!!! ty Orii

[fiery perch]

[ember rampart]

Good evening here!

I need coffee.... zzzz I got home early last night, tired, thinking maybe it'd finally mean I could sleep earlier than like 330am and start adjusting my sleep schedule to be somewhat human

then I got smacked with my second wind and ended staying up till 330am anyway watching furniture building videos

[fast sonnet]

So about that crash fix...

Is anyone else still having issues?

[ember rampart]

Yep, I do. Going from plot to Kilima, I crash almost all the time

[fast sonnet]

Okie doke. Just figured I'd ask. I logged back in to see how everything was going and it's still pretty bad for me so, back out I go

[devout crypt]

For Kilima on my Switch, yes. Decided to finally download it on PC to an external hard drive and haven’t gone to Kilima just yet…I played just a little bit to admire the better graphics lol! Will try to access Kilima later on.

[tiny iris]

Go out the Bahari way then use the fast travel to Kilima

[paper steppe]

I still crash leaving the Bahari way. When I leave my plot period it crashes SMH

[hollow glade]

Hey how can I get silk thread?

[runic eagle]

!silk

[opal cypress]

How to obtain Silk

Silk is craftable at the Fabric Loom. Recipe for Fabric Loom is sold by Tish, unlocked at Furniture Making level 2.
Recipe for Silk is sold by Tish and unlocked at Furniture Making level 6.
Silk is made from 5x Silk Thread.

Bug Catching
Silk Thread can be obtained by catching any Rare Bug and any Epic Bug throughout Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay.

• Rare bugs grant between 0 - 7 Silk Thread.
• Epic bugs grant between 0 - 14 Silk Thread.
  Note: Star Quality bugs do not give any additional Silk Thread, nor do they have a higher chance of granting it.
  List of all the bugs here.

Recommended bugs to farm for Silk Thread:

[glossy dust]

!market

[opal cypress]

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

Previous market took place from <t:1741075140:f> to <t:1741679940:f>.
Current market is from <t:1743487200:f> to <t:1744092000:f>.

[vale cobalt]

hey

[novel cloud]

anybody notice a new hallway in the Nigh Sky Temple?

the doorway where Heckla was standing is now gone??

[west wedge]

A friend was read that the devs say it was supposed to look like that from the start. The door being at the end of the top of the stairs was a glitch

[west wedge]

Silk thread comes from certain bugs. It's easiest to find from breaking rocks in Bahari and catching the millipedes that come out

[wary quest]

The temple changed again? Gotta check it out then

[wind ether]

Good morning guys
Little question please
How many times can tomatoes plants can be harvested ?

[errant juniper]

After first harvest, every two days 3 more times

Basically: first harvest after 4 days and then on the 6th, 8th and 10th day

[gentle tapir]

I started new char and was surprised to see the start of the game has been changed. No tent now. You get a broken house like stardew and other such games.

[tranquil elm]

when did that change lol? I started like 5 days ago and had a tent

[gentle tapir]

I have no idea when, but I've seen nothing about it anywhere. I started this char on saturday (for context later, it's monday now)

[wind ether]

Thx !

Another one
Do the scenery change of your house change the fish types that you fishing ?

[errant juniper]

Nope!

[wind ether]

Okay

[errant juniper]

I think the water body types across the landscapes stay the same, even if they look different

[ember rampart]

Hello! When will be the next Maji market?

[ember rampart]

Well, nothing about the next one from May 🤔

[runic eagle]

Yeah I was testing it to see

Should come every 4 weeks though

[ember rampart]

Yes, around the beginning of May, I guess

[runic eagle]

Yeah May 6th ish.

[kind sail]

how did you start a new character? and do you keep all your purchases and passes?

[boreal forge]

the only way is to make a new account with a different email, and no purchases do not transfer over

[kind sail]

wanted to change my name

[olive carbon]

You can do that through support

[thorn temple]

once every 6months give or take, via support

[ember lynx]

does anyone know if the top of the plushie outfit works as a coat or an actual top part? like could i match it to other things?

[runic eagle]

It has a top and bottom to that set. You can mix another bottom with it if you like.

[olive carbon]

And you should be able to see if clothing has separate parts within the set in the wardrobe preview- it'll list the icons for if it has a hat, glasses, top/blouse, bottoms- so if it was just a one piece it would be a single whole body icon there, if that makes sense

[ember lynx]

yee, ty!

[eager bobcat]

Oh fr? I thought it was something I did coz I finished a bundle and then it changed. Good timing I guess haha

Also I got my first LNUF... star quality!!

[glossy fable]

hey did uh anyone get a large update to the palia launcher just now? I closed to game as I do occasionally during the day and its been updating for like 5 mins now ? ? ?

[rare pine]

They must have finally pushed the update there (the one that removes the arcade machines).

[warm python]

Imagine them saying so to let people know why it's updating all of a sudden like c'mon man...... I just... I don't get why it's so difficult

[prisma summit]

Removes them...?

[rare pine]

Sorry. Makes them invisible.

I still don't understand how making them invisible magically fixes the issue but hey... whatever works.

[warm python]

Hopefully they'll figure out a longer term solution, this isn't the first time arcade machines broke servers, yeah?

[fiery perch]

Ye, was an issue back in 2023, too.

[warm python]

I can't even remember, damn it's been that long? lmao

[rare pine]

Wonder if this was marked on the bingo card as "new bug resurfacing."

[fiery perch]

I don't think it fixes all the issues, either. Esp since some people have the crash issue when like, going to Bahari, too.

So it seems like, to me, the issue might also be on the loading screen, too? (but this is me speculating/guessing.)

[warm python]

I was about to be like "is it loading the machine in the underground" then I realized you said Bahari and.... yeah I got no idea

[fiery perch]

Yea, i could get it for Kilima, underground and plots, since.. all 3 have the machines (or could have), but...

Just.. palia being palia i suppose

[fresh leaf]

It’s a lot to do with the loading screen, you can crash going from your plot to another plot, whether it’s just your other plot or a friends plot, or in house tours. So yes, very much this.

[remote latch]

Yes, my mum was crashing on logging in .. not between zones and not during house tours .. whereas I was crashing only on house tours rofl
In our case it could be arcade machine related as well.. as my mother does have an arcade machine whereas I don't, but perhaps the houses I crashed on while visiting did.

[little robin]

I crash every time I go to Kilima, even since update. Sigh.

[fresh leaf]

This is hopefully to be fixed soon.

Are you on the switch by any chance? If so, the crashes have been happening long before the last patch. Possibly 2 or 3 patches now, it’s just more likely to happen than before. Computer players are now experiencing this phenomenon with the switch players.

If you are a switch player, try the “back door” approach to entering Kilima. Instead of your front gate, try going through your back gate to Bahari and fast traveling to Kilima. (It’s not a foolproof fix, but 60% of the time you can get in and then crash later after you’ve done what you need to) and while this method may take longer due to loading screens, it would be no different than restarting the game because of the crash in terms of time spent getting to Kilima

Alternatively, let your game crash in Kilima and when you reload at least you should be okay as you’re “in”

[little robin]

Playing on PC through Steam, so I just let it crash and then restart and usually I am in Kilima.

[fresh leaf]

Yeah, then unfortunately, it’s going to just be annoying trying to get into Kilima for the time being.

[red comet]

I will never understand why this company lacks the communication skills needed to connect to players

[brisk spruce]

hey, me too!
except I did it by accident

[stone maple]

Oh tell me about that! LOL

[pulsar meteor]

so it all started one day, in a conversation about a misplaced sandwich...

[brisk spruce]

spamming chat at maji market, turned in Kenli's level 4 quest and immediately asked about being a shepp instead of the other quest I had to turn in. and then the "are you sure?" yes/no were backwards from ALL of the other characters I had accidentally asked to be my shepp before that. so... I clicked the wrong one before I realized it.

[stone maple]

It was SWAPPED?! Oh my...

[hearty phoenix]

That must be from the last update. My friend started 3 or 4 weeks ago and had a tent.

[wispy matrix]

does anyone else just fill their tent with chests? I thought I was the only one but found another guy who did the exact same

Anyone else in the same situation?

im updating my game rn so we shall see

what do yall think would be each characters favorite version of brainrot

[wary wind]

they didnt push any stability updates though. so it just seems you probably got extremely lucky so far. which, im glad you havent crashed! friend of mine has been crashing very often though since the update :c

[swift token]

May I ask what kind of bird is in your pfp? ^_^

[umbral parrot]

I was crashing randomly. Since they pushed the update yesterday, I now crash every time I leave my plot

[echo lance]

WAIT there was an update yesterday?

[edgy marten]

hi, does anyone have experience some bug in the sticker collection? ive just got the hodari seriously but when i check on accomplishment, the sticker appear like i havent got it yet

[olive carbon]

Changing map zones and/or reloading your game might trigger it to log the sticker in your accomplishment

[warm python]

different company/game but I would sincerely, SINCERELY like S6 to do something like this

espec cause they've gone back on their original blog about it

[signal kayak]

that would require s6 to communicate with it's fanbase. which we all know ain't going to happen. would be nice, don't get me wrong, but ain't going to happen with the current group

[edgy marten]

oh ok ill try it later, thankyou!

I missed the conversation 😂

[lyric night]

its a setting which they patched too early
(as well as pumpkin seeds in the seed maker and an upcoming outfit in the wardrobe)

[limpid root]

If it does turn out to be pay to win QoL I'm done. Regardless of the status of Elder Woods.

[fresh leaf]

Ah yes I saw the pumpkin seeds!

[blazing ermine]

Ahh ok thanks! I got excited!

[warm python]

[fresh leaf]

I did not mean to make disruption
I got a wee excited

[lyric night]

it 100% is
S6 won't give out a free pet especially not with any story reasoning

giving pets actual features was highly requested
(as well as a free pet but that request will of course be ignored just like the highly requested feature gifting turned into lootboxes )

I personally don't care about it bcs it doesn’t interfere with my experience to not have/use the feature
it takes a ton of time to fill the inventory + it can be cleared in less than a minute (a bit more on switch)
so there is not rly a need for it at all

it should be available for all players tho

[limpid root]

My main concern is the promise it could break and the slippery slope it turns into.

[limpid root]

It's not a disruption. It's a discussion. Don't feel bad.

[warm python]

Dont worry!! That's what we're here for, to complain I mean discuss things

[fiery perch]

They've already broken some 'promises', to be fair. and sadly, since they got with Daybreak and things, a lot of those 'promises' are just... invalid, at this point. And I feel like a lot of the monetization blogs and stuff, is just... out the window, since a lot of that probably changed bc of it.

[warm python]

Yeah like on one hand it's not a HUGE QoL thing if it works how we suspect

On the other hand it's still faceplanting into the p2w category, no matter the size of the win so for me it's more the principle of the matter

[lyric night]

yeah same
we can't trust their promises anymore bcs Daybreak wants their money, its absolutely time for an updated monetization blog

it will turn into a slippery slope, well already is
and I'm still afraid that they decide to double down on those things
especially locking stuff like additional tints for furniture behind a paywall
(I would absolutely not be surprised if that'd happen eventually which would be extremely disappointing bcs they are gatekeeping their other tints for an eternity)

[rare pine]

People were saying during the acquisition that S6 would be operating independently and I tried explaining this but. UGH.

[fresh leaf]

I do think, and it’s completely fair, every player should be eligible for a generic pet. It can come in a random colour and be a simple pet like the cat, (*it could even be a mouse or a canary lol). I know it’s cosmetic, but something small that still amicable in the long run. It could be an anniversary gift, or some sort of give out as the small cosmetic wouldn’t affect the bottom line at the end of the day.

[rare pine]

Like, Daybreak didn't give them money for nothing. It's an investment.

[limpid root]

Yeah cause then we start sliding the direction of they could put stuff similar to friendship boost items in the shop and stuff like that >_<;

[fiery perch]

It's just very unfortunate, and has made me feel... idno a better word for it- sad? I guess? that some of those 'promises' have started to just... disappear, i guess. I don't know how else to explain it.

[rare pine]

I usually say it's "gone out the window."

[limpid root]

It was asked many many times in the beginning for the brown palcat to be given to everyone. Then they could sell whatever skins for it.

But they decided to give it to their "supporters" (paying ones of course.)

[fiery perch]

I'm just hoping they don't end up making it as well like, "pets can pick up things for you" .. like me, and others, have suggested a few times. I don't want that to be paywalled at all.

[warm python]

Yeah, ever since the very first pet release where they were like "here, for our supporters! and by that we mean people who took out their credit cards" we were like "okay....would it be alright if we had a super super simple pet for free, we don't need something fancy or cool"

and they were like "lol nah"

[limpid root]

Love not being a supporter despite the amount of time I spent playtesting. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warm python]

honestly I think everyone needs a QA check in the mail at this point

[limpid root]

I wouldn't turn down one certainly. xD

(And also in my case the amount of time I spent in support channels previously helping people.)

[warm python]

But yeah considering that they think a free cosmetic will cause the company to fold (their words, not mine) if this ends up being a pet feature then....yeeeeah

[fiery perch]

I remember when I thought the palcats were just like... people who spent money just got them maybe 2 weeks early? And then there was going to be a free option, or ppl could get the brown palcat after the 2 weeks without paying, too. .. :(

[rare pine]

I remember when I first got the game and wondered why I couldn't climb anything. Only to find out: Surprise! the game is still in beta.

[limpid root]

In case anyone is looking for it, the message Relika is referring to is here: #🌟│sixer-tracker message

[rare pine]

Don't forget, free cosmetics have ruined many other games. Which ones? Who knows....

[lyric night]

the context of the message matters tbf

WC is talking about earning premium outfits / premium currency for free in that message

he never excluded free earnable cosmetics entirely and also responded to someone asking about more clothing options for non paying players with "yes, but not super soon" a few months ago

[marsh depot]

League of Legends /hj. Wish I was joking when I said they actually tried saying free rewards were not sustainable anymore

[signal kayak]

which is absolutely not true, as proven with a lot of the gacha games still be extremely popular and they can give out free cosmetics

[signal kayak]

i don't need something flashy, keep the vfx outfits as paid, but throw a bone to the f2p players every once in a while. it would work wonders

[rare pine]

Did the ever put the twitch drop glasses in the shop or anywhere for that mattter?

[marsh depot]

At the very least they got so much pushback they had to take an arrow to the knee

[marsh depot]

The palcat ones? Not that I'm aware of

[signal kayak]

they haven't rereleased any of the twitch drops as far as i'm aware, no plushies, glasses, nothing

[rare pine]

I wonder if there's a list somewhere of things you can't get anymore.

[fiery perch]

There's at least 2 login plush rewards that were added to the Zeki Machine. (Spring & Winter flutterfox.)

And there's at least a list via paliatracker (and the wiki) that shows which ones that are obtainable/unobtainable:
https://www.paliatracker.com/plushies
https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Plushies

[rare pine]

There's a couple of furniture items too right? Like the rugs and the frog bucket.

[fiery perch]

i will forever be upset about the frog bucket, yes.
Idk about rugs

[trim linden]

the palcat rugs i think is what Tempest is meaning

[fiery perch]

I forgot about those

[trim linden]

they were a twitch drop if i recall correctly

[fiery perch]

They were, yes. i just forgot about them. i find rugs easy to forget about

[rare pine]

Yeah. I remember them having to send the sandy one like 3 times because it was borked.

[trim linden]

yeah i still never ended up getting the sandy one

i was playing during that time too but it just never showed up

[fiery perch]

Twitch drops are just really buggy and wonky, which is why I always just sigh at them

[hollow crescent]

i’d say to bring that back but a different color so it isn’t like “collab” ish? but maybe it was exclusive to the design so they can’t? am salty about that too (even more so cuz we can’t trade furniture items)

[trim linden]

ive never had issues with twitch drops until that sandy palcat rug which irks me so bad

[fiery perch]

honeslty i would love the frog bucket in a diff colour or be modifiable since i dont rly like red. but i just want a frog bucket. i love them. :(
I would get distracted by the one by Einar a lot, just running by because i used to just get enjoyment from the animation when you went near it haha

[rare pine]

I'd give you mine if I could. I have no attachment to it.

[fiery perch]

Youre so kind hahah. I just will hope they re-release it at some point, but hopefully when they also fix the white flashes between loading screens, so i can play again

[autumn glen]

if we could get a crushing machine to crush all the stones we get, so we could maybe get diamonds and other things out of it, that well be nice

[scarlet hazel]

obliged create mod mention (i am a fan of it)

[ember rampart]

Does anyone knows why I can't change my hairstyle?
I can change everything of my character, except the hair remains the same, the one from the new outfit

[fresh leaf]

I saw somewhere that someone had a bug they could only change their hair while having a mask equipped. This might be a new bug 🐛 so if you can’t get it, make sure to submit a ticket!

[ember rampart]

So, in this case, the last update came with like...10 new bugs, cool!

[fresh leaf]

Yeah 😮‍💨 it was a hefty one.
Rainbow-Tipped Kilima Crash Bug, Lunar Fairy Outfit Glitch Moth, Underground Spotted Beetle Bug, etc.

The codes a little wobbly and the dominoes of fixing one thing is breaking a few in its place… so we just vibing

[ember rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-fire-house-burning-okay-gif-5263684

[limpid root]

Usually the outfits that come with a hairstyle.. the hair is a hat/wig and not an actual hairstyle.

[ember rampart]

The point is I can't change. I already mention this. Wig or not wig, is less relevant, when I literally wanted to change the whole outfit and hair, as I had them before, but I can't.

[warm python]

Question, was the hotfix pushed to Switch yet or nah

[hollow crescent]

i’m not too sure , my switch was updating palia when i turned it off so idk if there is or not

[warm python]

I saw a reddit post congratulating the game for fixing the crashes on the switch so I have no idea if the fix actually went through or not LOL

[hollow crescent]

we’ll go with maybe 👀

i won’t know til later as it’s dinner atm (and i haven’t touched the switch in a little bit) so idk if it was just updatin old patches or not

[lyric night]

should be the case, there were ppl mentioning their games patching yesterday on switch

[warm python]

Cool cool

looks liek they didn't update teh announcement but if it's "fixed" it's fixed

[umbral lynx]

Man if only they had a way to inform players of things

[warm python]

[umbral lynx]

Say it relika give in

[warm python]

I keep seeing like, superstitions of how to make the game not crash too and I'm just like babes

[umbral lynx]

Between lack of information and support blaming players (and other players blaming other players) it's really giving myth l/superstition vibes I guess

[warm python]

Yeah, I feel kinda bad, like I can get how desperation to avoid crashes can lead to wanting to believe in those methods working

[umbral lynx]

Even some who got the original dated hotfix still crash

Almost like it was a error somewhere else

[warm python]

It is a

[scarlet hazel]

man the want to fix crashes on the players end makes me think of toontown online all over again

[indigo seal]

I said earlier that I like to only have one of each plushie and then got two worn mouse plushies today

If only that worked for starred rubies.

[slender crown]

Would it be too difficult for Palia to have a screen like this on launching the app like other games do? (this is from a different game)

[warm python]

We kept asking for that but best they could do was editing an in-game announcement everyone had already set to not show again

[umbral lynx]

That is a good game though

Also that "in game" warn doesn't even show up at all anymore it got removed the patch after it was added (I don't click do not show again but I never saw it the last time I played)

[lethal granite]

er… not something i’d personally congratulate a studio on, but to each their own, i suppose.

[marsh depot]

I wanted to say it honestly shows how low the bar is currently but....

[sage turret]

Anyone know if Palium will remain the highest tool rarity, or will future expansions introduce ores that are stronger than palium as we get more areas to explore

[warm python]

Willing to bet there'll be other rarity systems involved, wouldn't make sense to just keep it at palium even if naming a tier likely to be upgraded in the future after the game title is real silly
