[shell mango]

I wonder do they even know how much money they're losing bc they keep adding blinding VFX to outfits that you can't toggle off

Palia devs there's more to the playerbase besides the kinda ppl that love spamming whatsapp groupchats with blinding glittery good morning gifs

[woven moss]

It's clearly a matter of where their priorities lie. They've made it pretty clear that making the game more accessible isn't worth their time and effort. They can release entire new adventure zones, entire new skills, but accessibility settings aren't worth their time I guess. Truly disappointing. I care about this game so much, so this isn't coming from a place of hating on the game - but as a disabled person, this feels like being unseen and unheard (which is the pattern we always face in the real world) and that takes away from the cozy, inclusive feel that Palia is supposed to have.

[old dirge]

The more they add the more work it is to accessibility in later too, plus the existing foliage setting? Does nothing in the elderwood

[surreal steeple]

BLESSINGS🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲 yall are feeding us

Seriously though, if i could stream the track on Spotify i’d keep it on repeat. It just sounds that amazing to me

[marsh depot]

It's just unfair not everyone can enjoy/experience the game due to the lack of accessibility. The answer that was given felt a bit deflective, and like you said, many of us cared or still want to see the game improve and do better, mainly for its players.

*Edit: And I want to make clear, my comment isn't meant to be shade, but we all know that accessibility has been a very discussed topic in the game, and more transparency and communication would go a long way in reassuring players steps are being taken in implementing more accessibility features.

[old dirge]

yup, as much as I want implementation, right now all I'm personally asking for is an update on the audit since it's been 9 months without a peep

<t:1749573120:R> https://palia.com/news/palia-path-roadmap-summer-2025

We’ve teamed up with the Microsoft Gaming Accessibility Testing Service to run a deep-dive audit of Palia. Their mission: spotlight the most pressing accessibility gaps, map out a clear workflow for our development team to address, and guide us toward adding features that truly move the needle for players. The first wave of fixes ships with the Radiance Rising update, with even more improvements queued up for the patches that follow.

[hidden trail]

S6 of their own volition marketed palia as inclusive which set expectations that they are not meeting, nowhere close, and then they give us these crumbs like mentioning a toggle or an audit briefly amidst the silence and worsening of the games accessibility. That's the part that really upsets me with this game and why so many of us feel so let down and frustrated.

[hidden trail]

Yes and it's an especially frustrating feeling to have with a game whose slogan is "welcome home" 🙃

[restive prawn]

"Inclusive" they must use it very lightly While I may never personally fully understand each players needs doesn't mean we can just ignore them. I'd love to see Palia accessible for everyone, I'd wait years for content if they actually started on making the game more stable and playable for all players. We have all had friends stopped playing since they just can not progress anymore and it sucks. But I hear horror stories all the time when looking through here and I worry for the long term... Like cool new cash store wow but I'd love to play with my friends again

[warm python]

Haven't heard a word from then no matter how much I've asked for months and months and months (even ignored when they're active in chat) about accessibility, how many people can't even progress the game because of it. I've lost count of how many people have left the game and the community over it, passionate people with a lot of love otherwise for the game too

But the priority seems to lay with getting people to buy flashy outfits and collect plushies, not on making it so their playerbase can actually play the game, so...

[old dirge]

didn't it used to be phrased in a way that heavily implied it was purposefully as inclusive as possible in one of the original/old taglines? A welcoming home for everyone or A home where everyone is welcome or something similar? i thought it was on the site or prominent on the gaming listing but i'm not seeing it

[warm python]

it's why I can't take anyone who tries to say S6's communication is good seriously-- try getting communication on accessibility, then all avenues magically dry up

but you'll get lots of communication on sales and plushies!

was hoping getting a CM might change that but it continues to be ignored

[marsh depot]

So many things I could say about the game's inclusiveness tbh, specially regarding accessibility and non speaking English communities. I also hoped comms would improve and I think most would be more forgiving if there was more transparency in some regards.

[shell mango]

Enough… plushies… please… I’m tired

[tulip anvil]

This is interesting

Wasn't this supposed to be resolved?

[nova solar]

supposed to be, when did this happen

well i meant irl, because if thats the case, they only fixed part of the problem, they didnt fix the root cause of it

if you wanted to, i could dm you how we found it

i guess so, still very interested and a bit disappointed in that case to see that its not fixed fully

[teal scroll]

Oooh. Secrets.

[honest bloom]

Does anyone have some tips for getting more waterlogged chests?

[runic eagle]

Compliments of Duhscape in #🐟│fishing-mining

[violet copper]

If anyone knows how this is done, please feel free to give me a DM with instructions if you were able to replicate this just now. (Please don't attempt to replicate if you are sensitive to these types of issues.)

Also @hexed cloak ^

[hexed cloak]

I have no idea who was doing it. I was just standing there

Wouldn't it be better to just restrict all projectiles in the underground? Preferably with a server side check

[honest bloom]

Thank you!!!

[marsh depot]

Once again I wonder if this shouldn't be the sort of issue stress testing in house would be better. And once again also pleading for fireworks and lures to be disabled in the UG altogether.

[hexed cloak]

Also give me a home trading stall already so I can avoid the UG altogether

[arctic lichen]

The problem is that there are so many things to take into account that its impossible to pick up on every single possible bug to show up. There is an Old joke about programing that goes. "99 lines of bugs in the code. 99 Lines of bugs. Take one down Patch it around. 102 lines of bugs in the code."

[stiff nymph]

Yeah...they should still try to fix it.

If it breaks the game more then good thing it's not in a 1.0 release state.

[arctic lichen]

Sometimes yes. I don't know how they programed the Release projectiles but I do know from First hand experience that if you change one Variable it might break another one that is related. I'm more just saying that sometimes you miss things because there are like 500 things to do and you might have to put out the bigger fires first.

Programing can feel like a fire sometimes where once you put out one fire another 5 show up. It's not easy to keep track of everything.

While I never fully made a game I have over 10 years of programing experience to know its complex.

Let me just clarify I don't think you are wrong in that its an easy fix. I'm just saying that sometimes things fall through the cracks because of bigger problems. I think the fact that its still early access is making it so the Programmers are slacking on these problems because "they're Small issues".

[hexed cloak]

Is it really a small issue if it can kill someone

[arctic lichen]

Thats why I put it in Quotation marks

[fleet fog]

Oops I meant to send this in off topic, sorry y’all

[tulip anvil]

Don't say sorry. No sane person in the world would not appreciate this floof donut

[arctic lichen]

Not necessarily. This is an example of Bias where because it doesn't directly effect the person they are slower to fix something. Again the whole point of my message is that sometimes people get distracted by other things then forget.

I'm just saying that "Getting more Play testers" isn't always going to fix the problem.

[stiff nymph]

Yeah cause like.... accessibility shouldn't be "forgotten" not when it poses a health risk to others, can send someone to the hospital, make them have a seizure, etc.

Huh? Einar! Oh noo!

[marsh depot]

No ones saying that, as far as I'm aware. And what's going to fix this issue then? Specially when it's potentially a health hazard for some. There's no excusing it, I'm sorry.

But I guess agree to disagree.

[arctic lichen]

This might be me misunderstanding you when you said "Once again I wonder if this shouldn't be the sort of issue stress testing in house would be better. "

[marsh depot]

Because when this issue first arised, S6 asked players to send proof and if they were able to replicate it. Which imo, puts players at potential risk. Now that issue was clarified with Lacie and I'm not trying to bring it up again, but if it's still a recurring issue, then I do wonder if this is something they're properly stress testing through QA and that perhaps it should be on their responsibility to replicate to avoid exposing players.

But I'm not further arguing this since I don't think we'll get anywhere and it's all speculative

[stiff nymph]

(adding on to this) Including Stardew Valley which ConcernedApe made himself.

Einar? Not again! Oh noo!

[arctic lichen]

I wasn't aware of that issue. My bad

[slim stirrup]

Comparing a single player game to an mmo is flawed logic. Even 10 'professional testers' might not stress the server/try the weird thing that 1 out of 1000's random people do once a game goes live. Is it an issue? Yes, obviously it's dangerous. Should they fix it, 100% but there will always be bugs in games and its a never ending job to fix them. Heck, Bethesda has released Skyrim more times than I can count (hyperbole) and the shield timing bug still exists.

[arctic lichen]

Okay not saying your wrong but I feel Bethesda is a bad example. I don't even think they would know a bug if it walked in front of their face.

[slim stirrup]

Fair! I picked them because they're a known issue with PLENTY of money to fix these issues. But you can name any other AAA studio game and find the same thing.

[arctic lichen]

oh 100% that is the argument I have been making the full time

[slim stirrup]

NMS has tons of bugs, and their team has worked harder than anyone I can think of to make their game better, but there is still tons of bugs.

The best thing we can do as beta players, or players in general is to contact support through the proper channels with as much detail as possible when these things are discovered so they can be replicated. If devs can't make it happen, they can't figure out what is broken and they can't fix it.

[arctic lichen]

This is where Sensitivity training from outside the company should come in. Most times asking for players to recreate something or show them what is happening is what is needed so it can be replicated. The problem is this is a health hazard so its not appropriate to just ask without like a disclaimer.

[slim stirrup]

Yes, and it needs to be safe to report these things without fear of repercussions, 100%

Yeah, I remember seeing the concerns and the supposed fix. The psa is helpful, I was just chiming into the conversation to add my 2 cents.. sorry if I came off argumentative. I have mental issues with tone so sometimes I don't read the way I mean to.

I should probably put that in my profile 😄

[arctic lichen]

Yeah I'm sorry If I came off as argumentative. I Think I started to spiral because of my OCD (its moral based) and so sometimes I will argue for the sake of Arguing. Even going as far as Switch sides if I feel the argument is ending. I want to make it clear I don't think anyone is wrong.

[marsh depot]

Think it's always important to take a step back, tone is specially hard to read in text and when it comes to this issue in particular, many just feel disregarded and that there's not been progress. It's always good to see different points of view and listen to what each side has to say imo.

[violet copper]

I've edited my original message originally asking the initial reporter to let me know in DM if they knew how to do it. (To address everyone reading, not just the initial reporter) #💬│palia-discussions message

If anyone knows how this is done, (since the fix has been completed) - please feel free to give me a DM with instructions if you were able to replicate this just now. (Please don't attempt to replicate if you are sensitive to these types of issues.)

[stiff nymph]

Adding on to this...

We just...would like the game to be as accessible as possible to as many people as possible.

Reading tone is impossible on the internet, it's better to just assume everything is monotone or use tone indicators /Gen. It saves a lot of trouble.

[arctic lichen]

I Try to do this every chance I get. It helps out a lot though I sometimes forget.

[slim stirrup]

I'll be real honest, I'm older and a bit out of the loop on some of these things. What are tone indicators (besides emotes 😛 ) and where would I find a list I could study?

[marsh depot]

Tiktok has really rewired our brains

[slim stirrup]

Does everyone not do that? No wonder there are so many misunderstandings! 😂

[arctic lichen]

The Monoton voice is Einar reading out every comment LOL

[slim stirrup]

Fair enough. Do your own research, grandma.. heard 😛

[marsh depot]

I think Ciri was genuinely pointing at a place to read them.

[tulip anvil]

That wasn't calling you out or anything. Just a general observation

[stiff nymph]

Yeah like Ciri was being genuine, not rude.

[slim stirrup]

Nono, that was me using humor (poorly) to try to diffuse the tension I'm feeling.. You're good.

[arctic lichen]

Oh man Imagine Einar being The narrator to audio books but like in his way of speaking. So like. Instead of. "He looked up and said hello to his roommate" Its "He looked up and Commenced the Greeting ritual to the platonic partner he shares a house with."

[marsh depot]

Why tone indicators are usually helpful to provide context

[slim stirrup]

I don't want to keep harping on my age, but 'back in my day' there was a meme about basically giving people links that showed folks how to google when they asked questions they could easily look up themselves.. so it was funny to me, but you kinda had to be there /silly

[stiff nymph]

Yep. /Gen

Helps avoid a lot of misunderstandings.

[slim stirrup]

Like recently I had to search for why I couldn't react to certain users posts.. so I'm working on it.

Between my mental health issues and my physical issues, some days it feels like I should just quit trying.. but I've never been one to give up on learning and growing.

[tribal field]

Back reading a bit and I want to touch on this, as a gamer with epilepsy. Any time a game says they are “inclusive” I would never assume it’s for my condition, or even many medical conditions. Most often when a company says ‘inclusive’ what they mean now adays is LGBT+ characters, POC characters and things to do with those two issues.

Edit; they also may include a disabled character in with that inclusivity. Or give you the ability to make one in character creation.

[slim stirrup]

That makes me wonder if there are any 508 compliant video games, I think it would be nearly impossible to do (apparently yes there are, although it looks like the standards might not be the same as for the government 508 compliance required for code/applications/websites)

[tribal field]

It is very difficult for a gaming company to create a game tailored to every disability- even most of them. I can’t personally play a lot of games because of my epilepsy, and I’ve had to learn to just be ok with that. Not that S6 can’t make some features easier on the eyes or whatever else may be needed.

[slim stirrup]

I do see accessibility related load screen messages regularly for things like vertigo, but I can't remember if there is one for light sensitivities.

[arctic lichen]

Honestly It feels like EVERY video game has a warning for Light sensitivity and Epilepsy. Not saying this is the case but It might just be the brain like skipping over it.

[slim stirrup]

I think I've seen the water one several times just today.. the game might be trying to tell me something looking at my empty glass

[marsh depot]

At the very least, certain basic accessibility features that other games have are largely missing. UI sliders, VFX toggles and other mobility related issues would help a lot in evening the playfield for those who aren't able to even progress in the game due to health issues.

And just on the topic of inclusiveness, sadly this is the issue with the accessibility visibility cycle, in which players with disabilities or impairments go largely ignored because they can't access a game, therefore the market thinks there's no need for accessibility, and the cycle keeps repeating.

[tulip anvil]

Could be. But one of the recent games I started was palworld. And I remember it having a very prominent and long screen with red text giving the light sensitivity warning the first time I booted it up.

[arctic lichen]

Fair

[marsh depot]

I can attest Star Rail and Infinity Nikki both have warnings every time you boot them. Other games like League, however, don't.

And then there was Wii Sports back in 2k something with health warnings every loading screen.

[slim stirrup]

I know for me, I just get tired of fighting all the time and just spend my money on games that do meet my accessibility needs. I appreciate that there are so many allies out there with the energy to fight on others behalf. Sometimes just a conversation as open and understanding as this is more than I can handle that day.

[marsh depot]

Iirc, from other players accounts, there is a warning on switch, but that's from Nintendo, not Palia itself. And in the case of light sensitivity issues, there's a heavier responsibility because it can be life threatening.

[slim stirrup]

And while I agree that Palia's support could be better, (and we can all strive to be the best versions of ourselves each day) as Ciri mentioned earlier, at least they do try. Edit: and hopefully as they grow with their community that support gets even better

[tulip anvil]

Also this is slightly off topic but it is well documented that cozy games do attract more people with accessibility issues/disability (sorry for using that word)
Things like reduced overstimulation, accessible mechanics, structure and control over majority aspects, cognitive and memory support, low pressure environment etc are just somethings that appeal to this sub section of players

Since palia is marketed a cozy (correct if I'm wrong) there is just an expectation since it's part of the cozy genre

[arctic lichen]

Most people with Disabilities prefer the word disabled vs anything else. There are some exemptions but Disabled is the better word. I say this as an Autistic adult with several other Disabilities.

[woven moss]

"At the very least, certain basic accessibility features that other games have are largely missing. UI sliders, VFX toggles and other mobility related issues would help a lot in evening the playfield for those who aren't able to even progress in the game due to health issues."

This. We are not asking for a game that is perfectly accessible to every human with every form of disability. We are asking for very basic accessibility functions. Functions that (almost) every other game in this genre already has. It's really not asking that much and I don't think we should be made to feel like we're asking for something ridiculously difficult and complex.

Edit: Forgive me if this message came off any type of way. I'm not trying to be salty, but I will continue to insist that we deserve these basic settings, at the very least.

[woven moss]

(Sorry for responding to an old ish message, I'm scrolling back up and catching up after my nap)

The fact that they have ignored you about accessibility issues while they're active in chat is frankly unsurprising, but still thoroughly disheartening and discouraging. I'm sorry you've experienced that.

[warm python]

It's alright. I've been told however that my negativity regarding accessibility goes too far however so I'm pulling back from the conversation at large for the time being

I trust the people here to keep the good fight going though

[woven moss]

Oh I will. That hurts my heart to hear.

[warm python]

It's a very frustrating topic but ultimately I do hope for the best!

[woven moss]

Me too Tone policing disabled people on accessibility issues is certainly not "the best" I'm hoping for. But here we are

[stiff nymph]

Yeah, it's...very hard to have a conversation about it.

Oh no, Einar is looking for me again!

[marsh depot]

I can only speak as someone with a business background, cause end of the day, this is a business and I believe that companies should be held responsible and accountable.

And we, as customers and consumers, should be able to pass on feedback and voice concerns, specially when it's regarding topics as sensitive as these.

[woven moss]

Facts tho. If you're going to be raking in thousands of player dollars, you had best be willing to hear them out. Ignoring and silencing people on critical accessibility issues will only make the game feel less fun and inclusive, and cause players to leave. That's how I feel about it anyway.

[old dirge]

accessibility features are a good long term business decision and having a repeated prominent photosensivity warning is legal aircover (and seems to be an industry standard), but seems like there's different priorities

[marsh depot]

Can't have players if they can't access your game, after all

And once again, this is where just some more transparency in communication would go a long way, or at least would not make it seem like it's being disregarded but that it's actively being worked on. It'd be a lot easier and fairer on everyone and would sure smooth some things over.

Like, with the upcoming new area we're getting, how many players are going to be still unable to access if it's locked behind MSQ? How many other accessibility issues can arise? How is S6 going to manage implementing fixes as the game grows and evolves?

[old dirge]

almost like open and honest communication (as far as it's possible, like we don't need X date is our goal for Y thing months out since that's likely to be missed and reduce trust) is the base of successful relationships of any sort

[marsh depot]

Yeah, I'd much rather know they're actively working on it than the radio silence.

[dense shadow]

Hi there Palians, I wanted to pop in for a second and address the comment(s) made around tone policing accessibility which were brought to our attention. Excessive negativity in a general sense can be actioned when it reaches a point users start to report feeling unable to disagree, or communicate being afraid to speak up, similar to how toxic positivity can be actioned too. The subject matter is not factored into those decisions. If any further discussion or clarity is needed on this topic, or moderator actions in general, please utilize modmail and we’re happy to have a chat. But, let’s please remember that it is important when sharing information that it is accurate. Thank you for coming to my Chappa Chat!

[marsh depot]

Respectfully, but I think that same sentiment can apply to when we're trying to discuss certain topics, and are only met with "well it's a free game/beta/etc". Discussions don't have to end on a mutual agreement as people will have different points of view, but personally, I think that in the case of this particular conversation it should be examined both ways.

It's honestly also hard to speak up when it does feel like anything will be taken overly negative, but that's my opinion.

[fiery sphinx]

To add to that, I know I've taken a big step back from helping in the server, as have many others, because it seems like anything even remotely critical is deemed as overly negative and met with action now.

[violet copper]

We do actively monitor conversations and feedback, including discussions around accessibility. As mentioned in prior messages, the team is aware of many of the requests that have been shared, and we do make improvements where and when we can. I personally make sure to pass along the feedback I see to the team so it’s part of those ongoing discussions.

We also understand that accessibility topics are important and can understandably feel very personal for many. We encourage accessibility-centric discussions happen in the specifically created #♿│accessibility-discussions where they can be more easily followed and shared with the team. Regardless of the channel, we do ask that the conversation remain respectful toward both other community members and the team. Please also take a moment to reference @dense shadow message above for additional context.

[woven moss]

"We do make improvements where and when we can"

Respectfully, can anyone point to any promised accessibility features actually being implemented? It's one thing to say accessibility is "part of discussions" and quite another thing to assert that those things are actually being implemented.

[fiery sphinx]

Genuinely, it often feels like accessibility discussions are pushed off to #♿│accessibility-discussions where they won't bother anyone.

[marsh depot]

And that's appreciated, genuinely, but I think many folks would appreciate if we had more active communication and acknowledgement of what's being worked on. That's been one of the points we've been harping across, and it's why it does feel like it's been disregarded for some.

And I think the conversation had been fairly respectful overall and people were expressing their views and opinions.

[woven moss]

I didn't think anyone was being disrespectful so I'm just confused, I guess.

[marsh depot]

Honestly same.

[shell mango]

Haven't been here for a bit were people GENUINELY complaining over our tone?

I'm sorry but no one was being mean spirited or whatever we're just being honest about BASIC toggles that most games have

And I'm not talking about AAA games because I stopped playing those a long time ago

[violet copper]

In our most recent patch, we addressed a flickering issue that potentially could cause visual discomfort. This is one of several updates that could be considered/touch on accessibility related concerns (albeit, a smaller fix). We've also fixed a number of other issues in previous updates that fall under a similar umbrella.

We encourage everyone to review the full list of bug fixes, as many improvements benefit accessibility, even if they are not specifically labeled as such. These changes are designed to improve the experiencec of all players, while also supporting accessibility wherever possible. The team continues to discuss and work on these, as mentioned, and feedback is actively relayed to the team.

[shell mango]

Again this issue hasn't been discussed once, or twice it's been discussed so many times over the years that there's a channel made for it and we're STILL not being listened to

There's many issues I have with the game and many things that me and other players want that we're not being heard for. But accessibility options are such a major thing that I'm genuinely SHOCKED that we're still talking about it with no solution in sight.

[warm python]

Respectfully, many players have been barred from playing your game because of accessibility issues. The wind temple has been brought up for over a year now, preventing players from continuing the game. Not even the simplest of acknowledgements has occurred despite countless discussions and feedback forms. Even the tiniest bandaid of fixes haven't been implemented, and multiple people just in this channel cannot progress the game's content because of it. I had to quit myself in part because of this.

It's difficult for players to maintain positivity when they feel as if they're being told "we don't care whether you play our game or not", whatever the intention may be. A lack of communication can lead to this. This has not changed.

I hope this does not come over as overly negative.

[marsh depot]

I'd once again say how it'd be appreciated if we could get updates on what is being worked on (such as that Microsoft audit that was mentioned last year) on implementing accessibility features such as the VFX toggle, UI sliders and other important features.

Fixing small issues is great and all but it's also about the bigger picture. Again, I think many would rather know it's being actively worked against and would improve communication and visibility a lot more. I sure would be happy to see changes, just more communication would be great.

[fiery sphinx]

Two years. Gales was introduced in December 2023. We've been screaming into the void for two years.

[warm python]

The last acknowledgement we got re: Gales was back in 2024 I believe (I don't have the receipts on hand like Orii kjahsda) by a staff member saying they'd bring up the matter and a possible skip feature (the way a later temple had it). Nothing since despite how many times it's been brought up. If you want to bring it up from a purely business standpoint, players are less likely to open their wallets if they cannot access game content

[shell mango]

It can't even be a sisyphic task, at least the guy moving the huge rock can get it somewhere. For us we can't even move it one bit.

Just 0 solutions. Nothing.

[warm python]

With issues like that, the former snowball issue that took over a year to fix when people were needing emergency medication/hospital visits in one or two cases, the underground fireworks that still don't seem to have a working fix... You can surely understand why people get extremely frustrated when their health is on the line

[fiery sphinx]

Vega did make a brief mention of actively looking for ways to improve Gales in April of last year here #💬│palia-discussions message but we haven't seen Vega in the server since September...

[warm python]

It frustrates me even secondhand when I have friends tell me they can't even boot up the game because it causes them migraines, or they fear being triggered into a seizure, or whathave you, not even just that they can't progress. And we haven't heard a word about this since the supposed accessibility audit talked about nearly a year ago. Again, the lack of communication causes frustration because accessibility is a very sensitive subject and needs to be handled correctly

Both the matter itself and discussions around it

[marsh depot]

It's genuinely upsetting to see players getting hurt from simply trying to play a game.

[jolly idol]

yo, what happened to the main chat?

oh nevermind, my thing was weird

does anyone know what the financial situation at S6 is? like, are they kind of treading water at the moment or is it actually kinda working? i feel like they wouldn't be able to put out two expansions if it wasn't kinda working, but again i don't know if that's all borrowed money or what

[fiery sphinx]

You can read EG7's (Daybreak's parent company) quarterly financial reports on their website.

[raven orbit]

I've been silent here just watching for the past year or so in hopes that the accessibility audit would get brought up again and it genuinely has been disappointing to see it basically ignored. It hurts to see that issues disabled players (myself included) have dealt with since 2023 continue to be issues.

Every update where accessibility isn't meaningfully addressed just adds to how much work will need to be done when/if they finally decide to acknowledge disabled players. /gen

[west marlin]

I can understand the frustration because this is the only game I've ever played that has made my friends violently ill 😭 I just get motion sick but I can't understand why the flickering is such a reoccurring issue... It must be scary if you're sensitive to that

[marsh depot]

Hi froggies, it's nice to see you here. But yes, it's genuinely disheartening.

[raven orbit]

Nice to see you as well 💞

[shell mango]

This is genuinely insane and scary

[marsh depot]

Hope you've been well!

[woven moss]

For the record, I don't even experience motion sickness or epilepsy, but I think it's really gross to sweep accessibility under the rug because it doesn't personally affect you. So yeah, I'll continue to be in here advocating for meaningful accessibility features to be implemented even if I'm going to be accused of being "overly negative" and "disrespectful" for any form of criticism I voice

[cinder comet]

Hey everyone. We want to remind people that your conversations and opinions about games are important and welcome here. That said, please avoid using references to self harm as part of those discussions. These are very serious topics and not something we allow to be used as comparisons or exaggerations in chat.

[woven moss]

Thank you for the reminder that our conversations and opinions on the game are welcome and important. I truly appreciate hearing that.

[stiff nymph]

FWIW and respectfully, I don't want to use modmail for this, but what I said earlier was a joke. but I will refrain from such things going forward so I don't get bonked again. /gen (genuine).

I do love Palia, I just hope it becomes as accessible as possible for as many players as possible. /gen

I will still talk about lettuce though. /gen

[gentle vigil]

Is there a possibility of a palia voice channel being introduced either here on the official discord or in game?

If trading doesn’t happen with furniture ever it would be cool to have a recycle feature that at least gives you most of what it took to make it

[restive prawn]

It would be nice to have trading AND recycling (lock quest rewards from both options since the palia rmt is already bad enough let's stop that) since you could at least farm skill exp and even help decorate your friends plot until they add that fabled co op plot

Where to find blue marlin fish

[fiery sphinx]

The Bahari Coast, in Bahari Bay, with worms. https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Blue_Marlin The Wiki is very helpeful for this type of information.

[marsh depot]

Both options would be pretty nice, think it would be useful for newer players to have a recycling feature in case they mistakenly craft something.

[restive prawn]

I constantly craft the wrong thing, I think it's a lag thing like it's never a constant just now and then it thinks I want a chair I previously clicked.
But they would have to keep quest rewards out of both systems regardless someone gonna recycle a quest reward I can see it now... And well rmt for trading since we all love seeing that right for me personally I'd just like to trade some of theElderwoods locked stuff to people who can't access it... I wonder if they could count as quest locked

[somber crag]

Will forever be frothing at the mouth for a recylcing system.

[arctic lichen]

I will forever be Disappointed that I can't date Eshe... No clue why given how mean she can be but that is what I want.

[restive prawn]

Yeah I mean it feels like such a basic starting point but hey they have time still right I'll take a broken new zone again if they focus on other things I don't need constant updates to stay interested but I would love to see more development on current systems and ensuring player safety

[somber crag]

That's fair. It would be nice to get a big ol' QoL update.

[marsh depot]

A QoL update would really be so nice, please give us a bulk buy button

[restive prawn]

Ride the beta high! Give no content but fix what is broken

[arctic lichen]

"We came, we broke everything, We fixed it all, and we gave no context. Cheers"

[somber crag]

It feels like I'm living through another ACNH update.

Y'know what I've always loved since I started Palia... the fact that you can pick up chests and just MOVE THEM. Without having to empty them first. My god.

More of that kinda stuff.

Bulk buy, recycling, give me it ALL.

[marsh depot]

Oh yeah, that I do actually like. I hated having to pull everything out of my chests in Terraria (though then again I mostly did play modded )

But better chest sorting would also be nice, specially for furniture

Chest omg not cheat

[restive prawn]

We can hope I guess but I fear they will forget more things... I'll buy the skill to bulk buy with renown! But over all fixes would be loved too, since I kinda want to play stuff with my friends who are just stuck behind progression they just can not do

[marsh depot]

Ah yes, specially an alternate way for players to complete Gales or other highly inaccessible quests to progress the main story. That'd be great.

[restive prawn]

Yes please

[old dirge]

better search and filter too! The text box is a bit buggy, it doesn't search every field, and it'd be nice to filter by type (chairs, tables, plush, art/decoration, event items)

[restive prawn]

On the topic of trading, item trading when? Bug catching and fishing are real problems for alot of players why can't we help eachother (I'm aware of gifting but they need to get them first to be able to request a gift, not fixing the problem)

[stiff nymph]

This, cause I hate fishin.

[restive prawn]

Same! But I'd do it to help those who can't

[stiff nymph]

Aw yeah!

Also gifting furniture. Cause I could totally do long loops of gathering resources, crafting, and then gifting people furniture they want.

[restive prawn]

I'll trade you fish for furniture any day I much prefer active tasks good trade deal right there

[marsh depot]

I might be wrong cause it's been a while but I think one of the devs said that it would be almost like cheating or something. I don't remember the exact words but just basically that it'd hard to balance not having newer players access stuff "too easily"? Again, hard to remember and I don't have the receipts on hand

Oh and the issues with RMT and scams that would come from trading (but that didn't stop the etsy shops with the plush trading and mystery outfit gifting )

[fiery sphinx]

Is it this you're thinking of? #💬│palia-discussions message

[restive prawn]

Play time lock it maybe? Or have to be friends with the player for x amount of time, I mean they have to something long term to retain and gain new players....
Yeah that's why I'd suggest to anyone submitting feedback to bold the whole block quest rewards from trading since the rmt is getting out of hand

[marsh depot]

Yes, thank you. This was it exactly. Good times /lh

[fiery sphinx]

I think there was another dev who mentioned it prior to that, but I can't remember who or if they're even still at S6

[restive prawn]

I cant see the masses using it to spam new players too... Like maybe I'm trying to stay to nice to try encourage more to ask for it but it would be nice to trade things we can and can't do

[marsh depot]

Yeah, I might try to find it when I get to my computer, I also have memories of that (I'm sure orii would probably know though 😭)

[fiery sphinx]

I'm still waiting for them to fix the ability to fulfill requests with starred items.

[raven orbit]

I really wish they would. The fishing skill is really awful for a lot of disabled players (myself included) which is the main reason why I stopped playing - being unable to progress or interact with a lot of the game sucked. I know people have thoughts about how "oh well if they add player trading then people will just trade instead of playing the game" but I disagree - and if that were to happen then it would point to a larger issue with the game itself, not the players not wanting to play/gen

[marsh depot]

There definitely could be ways to go about it to make it balanced, like limiting amount of trades in a day, have the trade be in similar value and whatnot, I'm sure they could come up with something.

[fiery sphinx]

I think being able to help friends would actually encourage players to engage in the tasks they enjoy, rather than forcing them into tasks that they either can't do or just outright don't enjoy (I am fortunate to not have issues with the ability to fish, it just bores me to tears).

[restive prawn]

I think more people would play since everyone wins, I can avoid skills I don't like and do things I do like. And other players who have valid reasoning to not do a skill don't miss out on unlockables

[marsh depot]

This exactly. Runescape has trading and that hasn't stopped people from playing the game.

And in Palia's particular case, it's just more about making things more fair tbh. I know the talk of players making too much gold too quickly was also part of it, but honestly, how does it affect anyone? Plus with how much gold the game needs for some stuff, specially end game where most you can do is sink gold into furn/housing/gamba.

[restive prawn]

Many other games have lock outs to stop rmt and "trade abuse" as some might call it so maybe s6 can look at those titles and see what worked and why it worked

[marsh depot]

For a game that's about community and helping, this would be an ideal scenario.

[raven orbit]

That's part of what I love about MMOs - being able to specialize into the skills that interest you and have other players fill the gaps. I'm always the chef in most games with cooking and I would love to be able to supply folks with food in exchange for them doing fishing for me. I love the community aspect and it's sad that Palia doesn't really have it /gen

[marsh depot]

Same, I love being able to choose what I want to do. Fishing is not one of those things

[restive prawn]

I do hope once the new zone is out they kinda put things on hold and revisit these ideas I'm sure they have a mountain of feedback

[hexed cloak]

Even i gave up on fishing tbh
Passive fishing when

I mean passive fishing that's not tied to ranching

[restive prawn]

There's alot of options they could do maybe even the new zone might inspire them to create a new low level or even friendship based re buyable or craftable to provide aid to players in need

[old dirge]

I remember that too and still can't find the source just allusions to a panel one of the devs was on at some event 3ish years ago

[hidden trail]

It was on their "live" stream on twitch before the open beta iirc

[marsh depot]

I can even see froggies mentioning it here #💬│palia-discussions message

[hidden trail]

I can DM you the link if you want, I don't think I can post it here.

[raven orbit]

Yeah, it was from a stream before open beta

[marsh depot]

Of course! DMS should be open.Thank you 🩷

[fiery sphinx]

Re: the patch trailer video... Why am I being given the option to sniff a child? Questionable choice there, S6.

[marsh depot]

I guess I finally have a reason to decorate again (though still wish we could have a smaller window version maybe? idk too soon to tell)

[fiery sphinx]

The conservatory window thing appears to actually be transparent... so does that mean they figured out how to make it work for the other windows in the home lines? I hope so... then I can finally use them.

[marsh depot]

Let's hope that's the case the window transparency issue thing always reminded me of a Sims 4 bug that would occur with modded windows, though if you had a program you were able to apply a patch to fix them.

Hopefully they figured it out and we can finally have light coming through our cottages

[fiery sphinx]

Yes. I was so disappointed when I dumped a ton of gold into the Alchemist line and then couldn't use it because it felt like a claustrophobic little box.

[old dirge]

It does exist! Thank you for confirming. Ages ago a palia partner asked where I'd gotten the info and when I couldn't find it did a yeah its all just rumors they never said that dismissal

[marsh depot]

Oof, that's... I'm sorry that happened. At least now we know!

[hidden trail]

Ugh hate the dismissal but yeah it was a real comment

Happy to DM you the link also if you want @old dirge

[cloud obsidian]

Hollow grove shows as a buyable landscape under plot settings, but does not allow purchase... So S6, you don't want my money?

[old dirge]

Oh, yes please

Loving the trailer, though not terribly excited for fishing ( I know they gotta hit all the skills, just happens to be my least favorite)

[flint igloo]

What if they made something where if after you have played a period of time and you partnered up with someone (maybe again after playing a certain amount of time) and you fished together as a special party if one got the fish, so did the other one? Not sure how complicated that would be. Newer players wouldn't be able to do this though. You would have to achieve a certain level in both playing time and friendship?

[fiery sphinx]

Isn't that the Halloween one that was limited time?

[marsh depot]

I was thinking this as well.

[flint igloo]

Tyring to think of ways to help those with fishing.

[marsh depot]

Shared fishing loot would be a start, for sure.

[lyric night]

nah, the conservatory simply uses the "open wall" cutout which already exists + has a fixed position

fireplace probably uses the doorway cutout and can only be placed in the center of a wall

[fiery sphinx]

This would be nice since it's how other party activities work.

[cloud obsidian]

so was the Umbraal Wol and it could be bought. Dont show it if it can't be bought.

[fiery sphinx]

Oh, so S6 still hates me. Thanks for crushing my dreams, Tiny.

[flint igloo]

I wouldn't personally want it to be automatic because people could easily take advantage of it.

I also know that's hard for those who prefer solo playing

[restive prawn]

Wait yes! I mean bug catching does that so why not?

[flint igloo]

I like it though because you can still help the person fishing with well timed clapping (and conversation)

[marsh depot]

I just would wish that they'd overall make the skill more acessible. It genuinely doesn't affect anyone for it to be just more fair on those who can't do it. Passive fishing would be great as well.

[old dirge]

Thayd be neat. That or trapping or more than just kilima fish from ranching or something else clever orbl a combo

[flint igloo]

Ohhh, net fishing!

[cloud obsidian]

I also bought the Umbral Wol because it was suppose to be an exclusive limited time item, and now it seems that every one has one. There should not be a purchase button if it can not be purchased. It's a bad look.

[fiery sphinx]

This. The ranching thing being only Kilima fish was so disappointing. I might have re-opened my ranch if I could use the animals to avoid fishing.

[flint igloo]

I do get a lot of fish from my ranch

[cloud obsidian]

Plenty of coins to buy.

[fiery sphinx]

If it's that upsetting, I guess leave feedback and send a support ticket. I personally am not that upset about it because it was clearly labeled as limited time when it was available in October/November.

[cloud obsidian]

So was the Umbraal Wol, and they brought it back sooner rather than later... Not upsetting, annoying. 8)

[neat compass]

Tbh when they added the extra party up features I was sad that fishing didn’t work this way, but hunting and bug catching do (within a certain amount of distance ofc). I hate fishing, let my friend do it for me and I will hunt

[marble stratus]

So excited for the new patch! yayy!

[hexed cloak]

You're getting the fairy?

[marble stratus]

haha you know me 😄

[marble stratus]

I bet you are getting it too!

but even more excited I'm for the alchemist cottage conservatory 8)

I already have fireplace there 😄

[old dirge]

Remember that first new housing lines footage of the development environment with the glass/green house in some shots? The cottage conservatory just about satisfies my longing for that

[marsh depot]

Oriii

[fiery perch]

Delayed response, and apologies if ppl ahve already suggested things similar to what im about to suggest.

But there are ways around this. They can have it take time to reel in 1 fish that's automatic-- that's decent length (so probably around max time ppl take while fishing already). Or being able to put down nets to wait a while to go back to later.

Or, that's inspired by stardew:

Being able to craft your own fishing 'ponds' or something on your own plot. Be able to put in a fish of a specific type (Ocean/river, kilima/bahari/ew, etc similar stuff), that can then spawn other fish of similar type (so yes, even rare fish being able to spawn this way) overtime.

There are just overall ways to def make it an improvement. Whether it's automatic fishing that does have limits on it (even tho honestly, i'll be honest, i dont care if people "take advantage" of it personally as long as it's accessible. there's no real economy in this game), or just other workarounds.

[warm python]

Orii <3

[fiery perch]

Other ideas that can help:
Shared fishing loot similar to hunting/bugs.

And stuff that'd help but not fix the issue completely:
More forgiving when moving the mouse/analog stick around.
Not needing to "hold down" the button while reeling-- make it a toggle. And make it more 'forgiving' in regards to if the fish is out of water and the line starts breaking. Def a lot of times where it's hard to tell when this occurs.

Also other ways to see the bobber. It can be very difficult for some people to see it. I know there are "bobbers" you can get in the game, rn, but that usually requires progressing through the game or fishing to unlock them. Would be better to have ways to do this without needing to do that.

[marsh depot]

And I wholeheartedly agree on this. I think people being able to access the skill (and therefore, the game) is more important. There could be many workarounds to this, not necessarily with it being automatic, though then again, it would not matter much. I don't think that would take away the ability for people who fish solo to continue doing the minigame, if they want.

[flint igloo]

I haven't seen this and I like to see new ideas discussed!

and please forgive me if someone else has already posted things like this. I'm a speed reader naturally but not on 24/7

Any lurkers here want to add your viewpoint?

Not taking away from those who regularly chat here btw. Your opinions matter! I love to see peoples viewpoints

[fiery perch]

I've honestly talked about these things a few times And i try to bring them up almost anytime fishing ends up brought up, because fishing is just such a struggle hahaha

Roan has also suggested a lot of fishing ideas too in the past. The fishing net idea and stuff like that is stuff he suggested before! #💬│palia-discussions message

(Just showing some other ideas that i remember that has been brought up)

Oh i didnt finish my thought lol-- it's also why i was like, "idk if ppl have said this already below", because these things get talked about as a whole when fishing gets brought up

[flint igloo]

Fishing was hard for me in the beginning and I finally got the hang of it so I don't always see others struggles now. That is until I play with a friend of mine who has issues. I would say keep sending in the feedback.

[marsh depot]

Something that I think would be interesting to see in Palia is if they took the approach of Brighter Shores and have passive skills. For example, once you reached a certain level, you'd be able to fish at a certain spot, and after 24 hours you'd have gained some XP and loot. It was a nice thing.

[flint igloo]

An area I have difficulty in is design. Some of it is my own problem. My irl home and my plot look the same - discombobulated mess. I have 0 design skills. I look at the #🏡│decor and #1267963034110922904 channels in awe of what these people can create and do. I absolutely fail at glitchng also so I guess my lack of creativity doesn't matter in the end.

[fiery perch]

Yeah, I used to be able to fish more often in the past. But then I started getting more and more issues in regards to my hands/wrists/etc... so it just started to get more and more problematic. I still can manage it on my "good days", but... yeah.

It's just very unfortunate. Same goes for cooking! There are some things in those minigames that i just can't manage, and I know there's other stuff that is a struggle for others, too. (at least this can be worked around with playing w/ others, but... some people prefer being solo!)

[marsh depot]

I so wish we could help friends with fishing, at least with cooking we can help to an extent but... it'd be nice to just let players have more alternatives and such.

[restive prawn]

Is there any way for the CM to maybe... "Bypass" the feedback form to take it to the devs and ask for a more open line of what could or couldn't work skill wise? We have waited awhile for simpler things so people really won't mind if we can have friends able to play again

[flint igloo]

Lacie has done that in the past so yes

[carmine gyro]

Fishing should be given tools to be made easier but at some sort of cost (tools or potions), accessibility is crucial but at this stage since its been a while if some players enjoy the challenge then it shouldn't be altered for them if they wish to keep it as it is

[flint igloo]

That's why certain things need to be discussed in the proper channels like #♿│accessibility-discussions where it's easier for Lacie to find them

[marsh depot]

When a certain dev would pop in from time to time, some stuff got directly addressed, and I know she has directly forwarded stuff like the fireoworks issue but, considering we've been asking for this for a while.

[restive prawn]

Was there any word from s6 about reworking fishing? If so I'd love to send that to some friends in limbo

[fiery perch]

I mean, we aren't saying to overhaul ti completely. We are always talking about options

[restive prawn]

Yeah a in game friend was telling me before they just flat out quit how hard it was and I wish I could do more to help them they were nice to have around

[fiery perch]

This is definitely helpful sometimes, but I feel like it's also important to talk about these things in discussions and the like, too! Esp because that means it does get seen more often and discussed with other folks.

I feel like some stuff only got seen because we did talk about these things in a more public channel, too. Like the snowballs

[marsh depot]

I've had some friends that have quit over this and the flashing issues as well. It's just sad some players just can't access and enjoy the game same way others can.

[marsh depot]

This. It was also my understanding that the accessibility channel was now akin to discussions and not a feedback channel. And I think there's been plenty of talk about it there as well.

[restive prawn]

Ah the sad flash bang phase of the game... Lost alot of good people to that too.
But they did at least fix that one, so as sad as it makes me sound I do really hope fishing could get the same attention since it's a skill that's linked to alot of in game content (quests/unlockables)

[fiery perch]

Sadly, there's other flash bang issues. UG still has problems with fireworks still (but it seems like you have to do something in specific for it?) And there's still balls of light/flashes when hitting trees/shooting huntables/bugs/etc. (not as severe as the snowball, but something that does get to me, at least, after a bit.)

Still hoping all those can get fixed and worked on

[restive prawn]

The very small group of us that remain never ever go to the underground anymore thankfully, so we have been avoiding that. Oddly enough it was the game crashing there that kept us away and when that was fixed all the rmt spam... I never thought I would be thankful for rmt.

[marsh depot]

Yeah, I seldom ever go underground to avoid the spampot/hotpot arguing but it's sad that players would need to avoid areas of the game just to not be exposed to health hazards

Oh that just reminded me of when the arcade machine was removed temporarily because it was supposedly crashing people's plots Fun times /lh

[restive prawn]

I feel lucky early spam pot days it was always claim a table ahead of time so you didn't bother people who wanted slow or normal games, even holding a table to help people learn how hot pot worked... How times have changed

[marsh depot]

Just let us host private hotpot please... or have hotpot at home

[restive prawn]

As long as it doesn't break at home like it does at markets/UG i like my friends to keep their eyesight

[marsh depot]

True Please fix the lighting S6

[old dirge]

especially since at least one set of quests (i'm thinking of one but pretty sure i'm forgetting more) that require going down there - that should be part of the urgency on prioritizing the fixes, but alas

[violet copper]

I frequently do! Several times a week I collect/curate frequently discussed feedback from Discord and other social platforms and share it directly with the teams.

[static minnow]

Not really a huge discussion point but as of May 13th 2026 the Elderwood update will have been around for 1 whole year!! I love the Elderwood, my only gripe with it is that I still havent found a SINGLE black pearl. The quests I need a black pearl for were released in June and then July of 2025 and I cant complete them because of a silly pearl. So this is me calling out to the Elderwood spirits, I am begging for a black pearl please

[marsh depot]

Don't know if this would be of any help, but ||you can request one through the relic crafting system if you have the recipe for the Guiding Lantern IV||. I'm unaware of if it's been patched out or not, but I'm sure if you tried, someone would be glad to full fill the request. (ofc if you want to do it, if not that's valid too!)

[static minnow]

I hadn't heard about this but I will check it out! ty!

[leaden hound]

I can give one to you if you manage to request it ❤️

[static minnow]

It worked!!

[leaden hound]

Did you get my friend quest? (Jess the Hobbit)

[static minnow]

Yes, i accepted it but I think it takes a couple of mins to show up in the online friends list?

[leaden hound]

Hmm it's usually less than a minute for me haha. I'll try to add you again

[static minnow]

No worries! I appreciate your willingness to help regardless!

[leaden hound]

Ah I relogged and you're there now There we go

[static minnow]

wahoo! thank u for the pearl! and @marsh depot thank you for the tip!!

[marsh depot]

Glad to hear it helped!

[leaden hound]

No problem at all

[slim stirrup]

Question if anyone can help: Kenyatta just sent me a mail about her moms friendship 3 quest. But when I go talk to Kenyatta she doesn't have any dialog for it. Is there some other requirement to starting this chain?

[static minnow]

I think she has to be in the town hall behind the desk. otherwise the convo doesn't start?

[leaden hound]

She should have told you to ||go to her moms room and read a letter||. If she didn't, maybe try|| going to the room directly||?

[slim stirrup]

Yeah, the mail asks me to || go talk to her but when I do she doesn't ask me to go to the room ||

I'll try seeing if I can work around it

I'm wondering if I need to get my friendship higher with Kenyatta ||before she trusts me to ask for this||

Nope! I'm just too fast.. she shows the ❕ now

[scarlet stream]

If anyone got the new macbook do you know if Palia could be run on it 😭I’m trying to escape my switch

or on my hp envy I don’t know if I trust it tho

[leaden hound]

Try asking in #💻│tech-help , someone there might know more about the specs

[shell mango]

Sorry but does this mean you bring up us asking for accessibility a lot?

Bc this topic gets brought up a ton

[restive prawn]

That's actually great to hear! I felt bad flat out asking you since solo CM so don't super like the idea of bothering you thank you for being so open about it too I hope you don't over work yourself to hard since I know finding things around here can be alot of work, we type and share ideas far to much. I can't wait to pass this on to my friends I hope they can play again soon

[jolly idol]

Is the assumption the new adventure zone will release “whenever”

[restive prawn]

Yeah no ETA just yet but they an keep it if they wanna fix things I'll happily wait and give people time to catch u p and be ready for it

[blazing girder]

Did anyone else just crash hard and struggling to get back in?

[ancient pond]

Hello, all! Long story short, I started being a Palian years ago on PC. I've been away for quite a while and just noticed it on console! Eek! Well, I'm pretty overwhelmed and don't feel like I have good direction. Anyone have suggestions to rekindle my love of the game?

I made a reddit post as well hoping to get some insight, but thought the Disc would be a good place to check as well. TIA!

[old dirge]

yeah

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the Royal Highlands following the Toadstool Tales update.
some are taking that to mean that we'll get it in patch 0.220 and others are taking it as just sometime in spring or summer

[leaden glen]

Frankly I'd be surprised to get it this spring, given that we're getting the elderwood update this spring, I'd say this fall.

[lean spoke]

Hello can someone help me fix this lag or something😭 Im trying to do the “all quiet on the umbraan front” quest and I could not find the 2nd journal😭😭😭 Ive watched videos and read through the whole book of where it triggered the quest but nothingggg

[stiff nymph]

#🤝│game-help should be able to help more! (Sorry wish I could help more).

[digital mantle]

I wish the drop rate for the star quality ogopuu scale was better, I have been trying to get even just ONE for a quest, been hunting them for months

[pliant pulsar]

Took me a couple hours for the first, but then I get quite a few

[digital mantle]

I just earlier got one, and only getting a potion that tps me home is kinda frustrating tbh....

[pliant pulsar]

Fully understand, I try to keep 3 of each starred item incase for quests

[digital mantle]

That’s what I am kinda doing, I keep at least like 5 (if possible)

Going on an essence run rn to get as much as I can for a quest

[leaden hound]

Welcome back! This is a bit late so I hope it's still useful for you, but a better place to ask would be in #🤝│game-help or #🐣│palia-newbies. In the pinned posts in those channels there's a lot of useful info as well

[old dirge]

Same and 9ish months is so quick from "we'venow started planning" to launch, but there IS a rather conspicuous gap between this patch and the summer series in the patch names provided in the mini dev update - did they just not mention 2 of the spring patches, are the names spoilers for the royal highlands, are they being skipped, is one being skipped and one a spoiler, is it all still up in the air?

[sharp warren]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a big problem with the game. I'm playing on PC via Steam. Support hasn't been able to find a solution yet. Has anyone else experienced this issue and received the following message: User authentication failed!

Were you able to resolve it? I would be very grateful for any help.

I would ask over in #💻│tech-help that's where all of our tech savy players will see your message

[lament oxide]

will we be getting "real" windows for the estate and alchemy buildings? i love the styles but not having windows kinda ruins it for me

[jolly marsh]

The last update we received for the main story ended at the quest called “Something Wicked.” You can check your completed quest log to see if you’ve finished up to that point. If you have, we should receive the next part of the main story in the upcoming patch on Tuesday. If you haven’t completed up to that point and need further help, you’re welcome to ask in #🤝│game-help as Zen suggested!!

[cursive breach]

aw okayyy thank you guys for helping!

[honest lion]

Alright.. Lets talk plushies 😄 ❤️
What are some of your ideas for some new plushies?
I'm hoping one day Palia introduces a blue glow bug plushie and a pink glow bug plushie with a quest in the air temple. It will give us a reason to go back into the temple 😄
ALSO Would love a Pumpkin Frog Plushie to go with the other Frog plushies 😄 And a Purple Snail plushie too!
What do you guys and gals think?

[pliant pulsar]

I would love a blue glow bug plushie!

[leaden glen]

I'd love to see a dragonfly plush, especially for the basic dragonfly, and a crab plushie. A batterfly or beetle plush from the elderwoods would be really cool too, now that we're expanding on that area's lore.

[woven moss]

Oooo yes! I especially think a Jewelwing plush would be so cute

[leaden glen]

Oooh, maybe someday, but I'm so tired of the epic level bug hunts tbh 😅 give us some simpler plushes from common bugs imo, before we have to do even more epic bug hunts.

[woven moss]

Fair enough. In that case, maybe the violet colored butterfly from the Elderwood would be cute (I'm spacing on what it's called). They're only uncommon so they'd be pretty easy to come across

[leaden glen]

Also spacing on the name, but I agree! It'd be super cute, and give players a reason to do some work for different hunt locations.

Tbh I just want to be able to mix up my hunt locations. Plus, crab plushie hunts would give the opportunity for snail plushes in tandem, which I think would be nice.

[leaden hound]

Torocat plush

[restive prawn]

Hot take! Maybe if they want to over load on plushies maybe use different sizes more? Take the claw machine ones, they are small enough to not engulf a room but also big enough to be seen. Maybe if we had more realistic sizing to them more people might like them? Since again I feel like we constantly get plushies and they take up so much room it's hard to really decorate with them unless you use glitches I have so many I just can't figure out what to do with...
Maybe even tie some into skill levels? Or use the guild coins for the skills since there are alot of bugs and fish it would be nice to mix and match so it's not always a rng drop chance

[carmine gyro]

Yes i agree the guild store needs more stock and skill medals more uses

[arctic lichen]

Oh... Here I am just putting my Plushies everywhere like a mad man.

[jolly sinew]

I haven't gotten any yet. My gaming partner has gotten 2 or 3 already and we started playing within a day of each other.

[runic eagle]

I prefer the smaller ones to decorate with too. I was quite happy the mantis was a smaller one. Claw machine and pods are perfect sizes too

[restive prawn]

It is much nicer when things just come together

[old dirge]

Nightshadow batterfly! Yes please

[tame thunder]

Hoping for a better system for voting on plot tours in the future 😃

[plain stirrup]

The phrasing "these items may not be available again for a while" in regards to the current bulletin boards confused me a bit. do we get any special items beyond friendship pts, kilima coins, and xp for completing them? im trying to decide if completing the supporting local vendors one is worth all the tickets the items cost

[nova solar]

basically the items are fomo, if you fail to complete the board, you wont get another chance to get them again unless s6 decides to rerelease them for us to obtain in another way

[plain stirrup]

But what are the items? I thought we only get friendship pts, kilima coins, & XP for completing that board?

[nova solar]

the final item rewards depend from board to board, in this current one, you get a free roli voucher, if you fail to complete it, you wont get the roli as a ranch animal unless you buy the starter pack from the premium store or wait until s6 adds it normally in the ranching store

[plain stirrup]

OH.i already got all the XP. so i got the roli voucher already

TYSM!

[obtuse blaze]

where do i use a super lucky zeki coin?

[plain stirrup]

You open it straight from ur inventory!

[obtuse blaze]

oh sick ty!! <3

[white fern]

has anyone ever had the glitch that prevents you from selling animals at the ranch? specifically baby animals. if so was there something you did to fix it? I’ve tried reloading and closing the game but nothing seems to be working

[cosmic jackal]

you'll need to wait for the 'new in town' status effect to wear off before you're able to donate them

[leaden glen]

They're actually releasing the old bundle items through the kilima catalog, for example, the flower nameplates from the first bundle are available from the catalog for those who don't have them. I can imagine that we'll probably see other bulletin rewards put in slowly over time.

[white fern]

someone else told me the same thing but tbh idk what that is, I’ve always been able to sell baby animals before, literally right after they’re born and I decide I don’t want their traits

[cosmic jackal]

i saw Astrea helped you out in the other channel if you were bugged and able to sell them straight away, i would like that bug too please lol
if you’d like you could ask in the #🐔│ranching channel as the folks there are very knowledgeable

[white fern]

wait so it’s not normal to be able to sell immediately??

also sorry you must have seen I copy and pasted my response I mean no disrespect

[white fern]

^

[vestal oracle]

My understanding is the animals you breed can be sold 1st and the purchased ones you have to wait.

[white fern]

ohhhhhh

the ones I’m referring to are purchased, if that’s the case then tysm for the info

[cosmic jackal]

no worries at all! <3

and thanku anylime!! i havent been bothered with breeding so wasnt aware haha

[olive ridge]

hey all, do we know if there has ever been any talk about rebalancing infected essence drops and/or the prices of the stuff you can get with them? As of right now everything seems generally way too expensive for what it is while the pricing for different items also seems off balance vs their value (?)

[willow bronze]

so i know about one line reth has if youre looking to date Tish and also romancing him. are there other lines like that? im hoping for there to be some fun ones with subira and tamala, and tish and kenyatta

[hollow crescent]

yea some npcs will make comments based on whose pin(s) you have if you wanna read them all look up on the palia wiki the characters dialogue page and you can find some (or collect pins in game and see 👀 )

[mental atlas]

A lawn mowing service would be nice in game. Some orange& banana trees would be cool! Bee keeper stuff at the farm?

[jolly marsh]

I would love some new crops to grow, but I hope if they add more that we could get some more soil plots because 9 is not enough for me

[late plume]

I've just realized there are decor pieces you can loot once a day (or even every in-game day)? I've finished the main quests ages ago, and immediately put the funny looking decor straight into the chests and forgot about it.

Spoiler, bc quest rewards

||So far I've found these in my inventory: (Pls help me if you know more!)

• pick up piksii grove
• ancient rock garden
• ancient galdur statue||

[pallid ferry]

Yes, almost each of the rewards from the temple bundles rewards you with a placable item that grants you random materials.
|| Fire Vault- Ancient Rock Garden - rewards Chapaa Meat, Dispel Arrows, Fine Arrows, Fur, Gold Ore, Muujin Meat, Sernuk Hide, Sernuk Meat, Slowdown Arrows, or Spicy Pepper Seed
Gales Vault- Young Silverwing Nest- rewards an egg that can be consumed for a certain amount of focus
Roots Vault- Ancient Galdur Statue - rewards a random tree seed, including those of flow trees
Elderwood Quests- Piskii Grove - will reward essence, Elderwood gatherable, or Elderwood potions/equipment. ||

[dapper ingot]

hi! havent played in a couple of months, but keen to get back to it.. just curious if theres been any talk or confirmation of expanded inventory space again? i didnt realise just how little room i had left LOL (and thats AFTER selling everything i could)

[lyric night]

nope, 14k is the max for now

but it's definitely a possibility with the new adventure zone in a few months

[dapper ingot]

god i hope so.. esp with a new adventure zone, i dont think ill survive without more storage

[green patio]

Groups are Not working

[little robin]

!support If you're running into tech issues with making/accepting parties in-game, the link below is to the Player Support website where you can submit a tech issue report to let them know your party function isn't working.

Some common solutions that work for some players is to completely shut down Palia and the platform you play on, and then resync the system's date and time (while Palia is closed). This sometimes can resolve party invites not working. If it doesn't, submit a tech issue report so Player Support can review your account 💕

[opal cypress]

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

[onyx gust]

Are there plans to include magical & melee combat and dungeons? Or is Palia meant to remain a more calm collect & farm type of game?

[arctic lichen]

Okay Every time Reth ask "Are you here for me or my soup?" I want so badly to be able to say "Yes." Cause I am there for both.

[hollow crescent]

we will see but i think how the game is now will mostly be what it is tho i’d love dungeons (similar to how temples are) but doable with other players

[shut yacht]

Let's hope it will stay a "cozy" game Adding more combat or anything would make me leave. I'm a former CoD and Diablo 4 player. I chose Palia for the fact that it doesn't have active combat.
But being able to do the temples or quests with other players would be great

[arctic lichen]

If they do add PVP it needs to be in an Arena where you have to go to be able to participate. A great example would be My time at Portia where combat is only in select Dungeons or at an event. That game is still very cozy with combat.

[leaden glen]

To the best of my knowledge, there have been statements made that imply that the closest we will get to combat in this game is the Ogopuu from Elderwood. The devs are working to keep Palia more of a cozy and collaborative environment, and combat doesn't seem to fit into the vibe they're working from.

[arctic lichen]

As a Player who is incompetent at keeping their character's alive regardless of game despite there being no official death state I still struggle to NOT swim and get teleported Places LOL. I don't need to die more in this game.

I would rather Not add the stress of Combat to be honest.

On a different note I just listened to Einars music box again and now I'm sad I can't give Einar a hug.

[marsh depot]

More likely to remain a "cozy" simulation game, though I think having dungeons would be cool. Idk, something similar to how it's done in Infinity Nikki and make it optional would be interesting but I know most of the playerbase wouldn't agree.

More collaborative options would be nice though, like letting us do temples together (specially to help players who can't finish Temples due to accessibility issues)

[jolly idol]

I wish there were more creative things

And less /go catch/get/do this real quick things

[restive prawn]

Even having dungeons doesn't mean there has to be combat, could always stick to their temple designs and use puzzles.
While a mix would be nice I can see people are both for and against "combat"... Guess shooting animals that only know how to run isn't going to be for everyone and that's ok.... Though thinking about it I sense alot of issues if they try something more complex than a sliding puzzle, motion sickness anyone? Flashing light targets?
Group dungeons like the temples seem like a nice middle ground over all. They could just make them so players are unkillable to remove player panic and you can just walk on by if needed (needed as in if they made it forced content) Maybe s6 could tell us why they have been for or against adding combat to help players see where it would be a better fit

[hollow crescent]

well they already have skips kind of implemented in the temples so just work on that (maybe have the option appear right away so ppl don’t have to attempt first if not wanting to)

[restive prawn]

Oh very true or even use old forgotten currency to make them into passive enemies

[cloud obsidian]

According to Palia- Apples are fruit and so are Blueberries, so why aren't Piksii berries? They are used for cooking like a fruit. Discuss.

[jade sleet]

They are in the smoothie bowl! And the Ferris' colelct them for you! So in my opinion, they still do count as fruit!

[olive ridge]

does the ''completion bar'' not really match or is there some other reason I can't open the last chest?

[cloud obsidian]

I am having to harvest pre-maturely one of my apple trees to do a daily (still irked that you kidnapped all of my saved re-rolls Palia). Players should be able to forage for a fruit to meet the dailies requirement, Piksii berries meets that need. Further discuss.

[jolly marsh]

Most of the items in the Elderwood don’t count for dailies, so I don’t believe it’s because the Piksii Berry isn’t considered a fruit necessarily

[cloud obsidian]

It's specifically listed as a gatherable item, not a fruit- but is used in a fruit capacity in cooking. That being said, if a daily requires the player to "collect any fruit" then there should be an option that does not require a player to rely on gardening. We should have an option to harvest something growing on one of the maps and have it count toward that requirement. Since Piksii berries are the only fruit like item, I mention those as a potential candidate.

[little robin]

You probably have just a bit more to go and it's behind the last chest. Probably one or two more dailies or if you haven't already, some of your weekly NPC gifts could help push that last bit!

[olive ridge]

thank you :) that's what I was thinking

[cloud obsidian]

I mention the fruit thing because players below level 10 gardening still have access to dailies but not access to apple or blueberry seeds in MOST cases. It is unfair to present them with a daily that they cannot do. Hence the need for another option- IMHO.

and with the extra long patch cycle, most of us who do dailies every day have already exhausted their re-rolls- something they might want to consider bumping a bit higher if they keep presenting things like this particular daily, catching Duskwings, and other annoyingly difficult dailies. ❤️

[marsh depot]

I so wish they hadn't capped the rerolls at 10. I've stopped doing dailies largely due to that and that most of the ones I get are fishing.

[old dirge]

yeah and there might be more of that. I'm pretty sure there's also been comments about not death, no damage, no pvp in the past as well

[wheat walrus]

I'm curious: What are people's 'cursed' item? So the one thing you've never been able to get to drop for you no matter how long you've been playing. For instance mine is the Proud Horn Beatle plushie XD (And I -do- have some now but they were all traded for. Never actually had one drop for me yet at 1000+ hours.)

[dense shadow]

Plushies from hunting are my cursed item. I have like a dozen or more black pearls, far too many legendary fish, but the plushies from hunting taunt me.

[obtuse frost]

rare muujin and rare schmole plushies hunting wise...still haven't gotten either x'D

[cerulean gull]

Hey everyone
I saw some people saying the new frogbert plush will be catchable from frog hunting but I can’t for the life of me find where they got that information?

[old dirge]

probably speculation - that screen sorta seemed like a summary of the path rewards to me, but they could also be a mix of premium items too

[warm flume]

Smooth shiny pebble from oysters. I’ve opened over 3k and haven’t gotten it.

[wheat walrus]

Mutters under breath. We don't talk about the pebble....

The pebble is a lie XD

[rose dirge]

I can't be the only person to have noticed that the map doesn't line up. I pasted each region's map into paint and tried to line them up and it makes no sense. Anyone else bothered by the terrible geography?

[heavy cedar]

yeah i noticed it, imo it would make a lot more sense if the bahri/ kilima entrance came out at hideaway bluffs instead of where it is rn,

[old dirge]

remember to get in your last wish, spend those envelopes, and spin that wheel

[proper rivet]

I assumed that there was a path between between them that we don't see and we were basically fast travelling from gate to gate

[vagrant pike]

Just throwing this out there, but they really need to introduce some logic that stops putting us on servers that are scheduled to die in the very near future. I went to my home plot, 3 minutes later get asked to move. I move, and 5 minutes after that I get asked to move again. Why doesn't it just put you on a fresh server with the first move? Frustrating and silly imo

[earnest geyser]

@valkorii

[dull crow]

Yeah the same but it mostly happens near a patch i noticed maybe cause mayber more ppl are playing the game and there are no new server avialble in the time

[ancient onyx]

so what do we think the new bee furniture's going to require? ingredient-wise

[raw escarp]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1375156211346833569
people have been hard at work to figure that out xd

[mystic tapir]

@wheat walrus The starred Will-O-Wisp, so many bug hunting parties, candles, lures and nothing. I have friends that just find one accidently. I try and they hide.

[pallid ferry]

Discussions has been quiet lately. Miss all the theory crafting that used to happen here.

[pallid ferry]

A Palian of habit, here's this update's #PatchBingo!
adjusted to include hotpot drama

[cinder comet]

discord timeouts could almost be a free space too.

[pallid ferry]

There was at least ONE patch where we didn't see it happen. It's possible to stay unchecked.

Come onnnn placable jams.

[restive prawn]

Does the jam plushie fall under rng plushies

[pallid ferry]

Only if they make it a 5% chance when harvesting jam. At this point it's almost RNG them giving it to us.

Didn't they announce the Jam Plush before the Fairy Mantis?

[restive prawn]

Counter, rng that they remembered it

Lacie has seen work on it, give us a sneak peak at least! It better not be obnoxiously huge

[pallid ferry]

I just know the "free" frog path is only going to be flowers. I'd like to be wrong, buttt

[pliant pulsar]

I feel like the mantis was first?

[marsh depot]

I honestly can't wait for the conservatory windows, they look so cool.

[pallid ferry]

I've held off on building anything just for the conservatory

[restive prawn]

I like frogs but the glider was the only nice looking item each their own. I do wonder if they would scatter some mushrooms into the mix to pad the free rewards

[pallid ferry]

And also bc a lot of the old glitches aren't possible anymore and I refuse to give up my half-built flower arch

[marsh depot]

They do look so nice, hopefully makes the cottage rooms feel less claustrophobic

[pallid ferry]

Frog Bucket would be the BEST path item

[restive prawn]

That's gonna cost you /j

[marsh depot]

Same it's forever sitting half finished on my plot

[marsh depot]

Oh you're right! Then Orii would finally have theirs

[pallid ferry]

#NeverForget

[marsh depot]

Please give us furniture trading

[pallid ferry]

Or crafted furniture recycling. Either would make us dance.

[restive prawn]

Basic bug fixes too

[marsh depot]

This would be so helpful with resources, even if it only gave a fraction of the materials back

[pallid ferry]

I'd take even a 25% return

[marsh depot]

That'd be so appreciated. I also see renown is off the bingo now

[slate osprey]

Oh the things we do in Palia when waiting for server wind downs...

A bunch of strangers meet on the dock. And pose. It's beautiful. And I can't post the piccy anywhere 🙁

[pallid ferry]

I am so glad we have somewhere to retire animals. I ALMOST sold my OG Lettuce chicken. She hangs with BawkChoy

[marsh depot]

Bawkchoy is a good one

But yes, finally, it would break my heart to donate some of those, now I can finally get my hands on some of the other animals

Still wish they'd up the limit though, with how many animals are being added

[violet copper]

That is a great name.

[pallid ferry]

Are Jam plushies still coming down the pipeline? I could've sworn we voted on that before the bug plush.

[marsh depot]

Oh right it's St Patrick's Day I guess we better get some lettuce just to be on par /silly

[pallid ferry]

Oh patch notes! Don't mind if I dooo.....

[violet copper]

It is still in the pipeline! Not forgotten about. Saw a preview, very cute.

[pallid ferry]

It'd be swell to have that release alongside placeable pickled/jam jars. A real jam jar and a fat plush one.

Ahem, um....
I think someone forgot to update the date.

[violet copper]

Should be fixed!

[pallid ferry]

Craftable Honeybunch furniture! They DO like us! 🐝

[marsh depot]

Let's goo

[woeful veldt]

I'm really excited for the update but bummed that with a big update like this it looks like they still haven't fixed the Umbraan decor items? Will they just stay broken forever????

[pallid ferry]

And the Path of the Frog sounds pretty cool! Assuming they didn't only list premium items. Will have to check that in a few hours. It'll be nice having a path that doesn't award me 100 walls that will just sit in my storage.

[sly bay]

going feral over the honey bunch furniture and all the bee themed items

[flint igloo]

Happy Patch Day discussions channel!

[pallid ferry]

I'm still not a huge fan of how the flying bugs are being posed. I'd love to have them on their feet so that I could pose them around my garden.

[marsh depot]

50 animals???? That's huge oml

[pallid ferry]

IKR? I can finally retire my chickens in good conscience.

[marsh depot]

Oh though, reading on it, is it just a rabbit hole sort of thing and we can't see them anymore? I can understand if that's the case but, I don't know

Regardless, I will be happy putting all my animals in there and not have to donate them (though some already were sacrificed )

[pallid ferry]

I like that they gave us the option to retire animals "early." Basically pay guild coins to store them so they dont age while you go on vacation. That's SUPER nice, b/c it stressed me out a LOT

[dapper zephyr]

Hello, if I understand well The Royal Highlands Expansion is not for this update ?

[pallid ferry]

VERY glad to be wrong on both the Honeybunch furniture and the animal retirement limit.

[pallid ferry]

Correct! That is planned for a future update. This update completes our adventure storylines in the Elderwood, essentially "finishing" that area.

[marsh depot]

Wonder what else we'll be getting, patch for patch tomorrow?

[pulsar quiver]

Correct! They'll be coming in a future update which is yet to be officially announced

[pallid ferry]

Broken pavers is always possible!

[marsh depot]

Also does seem there's some bugs with Ulfes friendship quest from what I read? Can we cross that off already?

[pallid ferry]

Thanks for pointing that out, since he can't speak for himself.

[young plank]

insert meme of i liiiiiiiiive wheres my coffee

[flint igloo]

Please send coffee to me too

[forest rover]

Need more coffee too. At work and sleep deprived. 😴

[young plank]

reading patch notes to catch up but ahem beasts.... as in plural? oh boy ive got work cut out for me

[pliant pulsar]

currently drinking mine xD

[pallid ferry]

Just gonna smoosh the new Smores recipe into my drink. Are Kopaa nuts good for making chocolate I guess? Are they our Hazelnut of Palia?
I guess so long as the marshmallow isn't made with any fish....

[marsh depot]

If only we could have coffee in Palia (Reths emote does not count )

[young plank]

https://giphy.com/gifs/loop-rabbit-WiXMlla4ZFR8Q

and lettuce

[marsh depot]

I shudder at the thought. Maybe the knapweed so it's plant based? Like agar agar?

But idk, I'm not expecting that

[pallid ferry]

In June 2024, in honor of that punny father, Badruu, S6 gifted all it's happy little players ✨ Lettuce Seeds✨. There was much excitement, for Reth frequently vaunted his famous lettuce soup. Here was it's beginning! Players eagerly cultivated their gardens to grace their garden with its green leaves. But when planted, it was noted that the lettuce looked strange. Grey and spikey, like it was not yet meant for this world. Players diligently tended their gardens, hoping the lettuce would soon take on a verdant hue. But alas, it remained grey, right up to the moment that it could be pulled from the fields.
Some players made more seeds, hoping that in time, the blighted crop would appear healthy, but it was not to be. Over a year has passed, and the humans still wait for a chance to make their own soup... 🥬 #LegendofLettuce

[marsh depot]

The lettuce lore is back

[pallid ferry]

Patch notes missing details on purpose. We're gonna have to explore!
#💬│palia-general message

Please be secret accessibilty features. Would love the VFX toggle or adjustable UI.

[marsh depot]

Hope one of those things is lettuce. Or maybe even a UI slider /hj

[marsh depot]

A Gales Temple skip would be so great

[pallid ferry]

I hope lettuce would be something they actively announce. I'd like to think they'd bring it about as joyously as they did the rubber ducks.

[flint igloo]

I too am waiting on lettuce and more lettuce reipes. What about lettuce blankets, wallpaper -We need an over abundance of lettuce

[hollow crescent]

maybe something like? you get to temple and you find the nest and it’ll just pop up as an option if you’d like help with getting to the otherside, and it’ll summarize the “how it was done” once you get over from a dialogue option?

[pallid ferry]

I'd dance. Give me green overalls with carrot embroidery and a lettuce cape.

I'd pay for a Path of the Lettuce.

[flint igloo]

That would be so cute!

[marsh depot]

That'd be pretty great tbh, similar to the Subira one. Would make for some good storytelling too maybe?

[flint igloo]

A whole season about lettuce

A huge frogbert like creature made of lettuce

[marsh depot]

As long as it doesn't contain a certain cursed item

[pallid ferry]

Make me retire the meme and the lore.

[hollow crescent]

maybe so ppl don’t miss out on the “secret puzzle” they could have the twins in the library with a little lore book and you do their quiz there?

[pallid ferry]

(And now I can't post it again for at least a week.)

[pallid ferry]

it's still wild to me that there's STILL people who are locked out of finishing Temple of the Gales. Def need a work around.

[marsh depot]

Ohhhhh yes. I had forgotten about that! Honestly that'd be the best way they could go about it

[hearty phoenix]

Anyone else have the feeling that it will be a long time until our next update? The hunting/fishing event goes from April 24-May 8. The events are usually within one patch. That would be almost two months. I did manage to play for years without significant updates, but I'm now used to fun new content every month.

[marsh depot]

Right? At the very least I wish we could help

[pulsar quiver]

Lacie confirmed that this patch will run a bit longer to prepare for the highlands update!

[lyric night]

at least 8 weeks until the next patch yup
they are preparing for the royal highlands

seems like they decided to skip a patch again just like last year

[leaden glen]

Lacie said in General that this patch will be longer as part of prep for highlands.

[marsh depot]

Maybe it could get pinned for some more visibility? Just a suggestion ofc!

[hearty phoenix]

Thanks all, it's great that we're getting the royal highlands. I'm glad that we have a ballpark this time. I was frustrated this month when for quite a while they didn't mention anything about when this patch would come out. I like to know in advance when things are coming, it makes me more patient.

[somber crag]

Yes! c:

It hath been pin-ethed.

[marsh depot]

Annnerrr, happy patch and St Patricks day! Appreciate you, hope things don't catch on fire today

[somber crag]

Happy patch & St. Patricks Day to you, too! And things are going as well as they usually do on patch days...
Have your bingo cards at the ready! /j

[dark moon]

Does anyone have a spare bingo card?

[pallid ferry]

You want a fresh one or to see the current?

[dark moon]

Current please

[pallid ferry]

Will need a careful watcher to advise if there's been a timeout via chaos, I'm trying to cook dinner and thus out of General.

[dark moon]

Does WC saying they will cry if pavers break count?

[somber crag]

You know we can't technically discuss mod actions...
But there's been no timeouts, actually. And this is not an invitation for people to try and get one!

[pallid ferry]

Happy to report that the Honeybunch furniture will be craftable as there's a lot of space for retired chickens!

[pallid ferry]

Since EVERYTHING seems to break them.

[dark moon]

I wish we could use world campfires. I hate when im out hunting and Sir George Pawsington the Meowth, can only bring back 1 row of items, so I cant cook my food and eat it to clear up space

[hearty phoenix]

Am I correct in my interpretaion that if I put my venerated critters in the retirement home, and then give them a cookie later they could be bred when they come of age?

[leaden hound]

Venerated animals can't breed, so you would have to take them back out of retirement and use a cookie to make them a baby again, and then when they become adults, you can breed with them again just like usual yes

[hearty phoenix]

Thanks, that is what I meant.

[dark moon]

There is a cookie to return to baby?

[fiery sphinx]

https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Divine_Doughnut

[dark moon]

Oh em gee, ive yet to come across this

[warm python]

Hi Moose, good to see you again o/

[pallid ferry]

Hi Rel! Yeah, I took a much needed break to focus on other games. But had to make a patch day appearance of course!

I'm excited to see some free frog gear in this upcoming Path

[warm python]

Legit yeah! I'm...watching, but I'll mostly be lurking because I don't want to risk coming off as too negative. But I am watching and pondering LOL

[pallid ferry]

Yes, I've noticed there's been some miscommunication and misconstrued tones lately. This patch has me a little optimistic about the direction things are going though. I'm REALLY hoping the free Path rewards have been improved, but am waiting to see the divide in the game.

They did listen and put the Honeybunch furniture recipes in Tish's shop, rather than the RNG piles or uncraftable from the Lucky Balls, so PHEW!

[dark moon]

The rainbow frog is reported to be just like the kitsuu, premium path with intense rng

[warm python]

Free path rewards are something that always interest me the most

[lyric night]

nah the free path rewards will 100% be similar to path of the kitsuu

alchemist cottage recipes + 1 free cosmetic item at the end of it, this time: frog mask as stated in the patchnotes

[warm python]

Curiosity wise anyway

Frog mask? Ah lol

I continue to hope for proper free cosmetic rewards for you all one day!

[pallid ferry]

tbh the Plushes dont have me interested anymore. They are just reskins or awkward poses that don't work on my plot. I'll just keep catching ladybugs.

[fiery sphinx]

If rainbow frogbert drops from rockhoppers, Elderwood is going to be unbearable with all the plushie hunters.

[pallid ferry]

You know what a good "quiet" update would be? The ability to purchase multiples from stores (like 30 flour), much like we can craft multiples.

[marsh depot]

An entire QoL update would be great ngl (dont mind me backreading, just got my 2nd cup of coffee)

[marsh depot]

As long as it's not a lettuce plush.... /silly

[twin pike]

Why housing features are tied to lunar path now? I really don't like that. It's not accessible and force people to play a certain amount/time to access decorating. I would rather havve to farm components or gold or just do one quest but not this.

[fiery sphinx]

Filler so they don't have to come up with other free stuff to give us.

[twin pike]

It's a shame in my opinion. I have been playing since the alpha and to me this is the worst decision they have made.

[fiery sphinx]

The way the paths are constructed is... eh. I don't feel like my money or time is being respected like I do in other battle passes where every level gets a free and paid option.

[marsh depot]

It at least makes me look forward to actually finishing this path as opposed to the last couple, but I understand the frustration. I think there were already similar things in game like with the gazebo being locked behind the plot requirement.

But again, I do understand the frustration with it.

[twin pike]

Yes it's really frustrating, it breaks the enjoyment to me. Really.

[twin pike]

Exactly. I feel not free to decorate as I would like, to manage my play time as i would/can. it's pushing me to do side content to an extent that is uncomfortable just to access the housing features

[scarlet hazel]

dude what is that spotted outfit-

[old dirge]

It's definitely an incentive to do dailies, do weeklies, and play more in general so it being gated is part of the point, though I definitely get the frustration and think the paths are not quite right yet though i struggle to nail down what needs to change exactly (just a me thing)

[scarlet hazel]

is the spotted outfit from the path? cause... that is certainly a design choice to make

[lyric night]

it's not "accessible" for players who already grinded a lot and have lots of gold, sure

but recipes are definitely more accessible for newer players and on the long run for all players
in the end it's a grind either way honestly

[marsh depot]

It was probably done as a response to the initial feedback on the alchemist line costing too much gold, I think there are some issues with the paths they could still work on in terms of balanced rewards though.

[twin pike]

it really do not make me want to play more, on the contrary. I came back after a break not a while ago and I'm so disappointed. I was excited to try the new features for the alchemist cottage and to see that i will have to unlock certain point of another lunar path again is.... arf breaking my enthusiasm

[leaden hound]

Are you talking about the one in the picture of the open season section? It seems to be a frog pattern, just a bit hard to see on the image

[twin pike]

they need to find a balance. Too much gold and now too much time! not everyone spend all their entire free time on palia

[marsh depot]

And that's understandable, sadly it's one of those things were not everyone will be happy. Ideally they could reach a middleground but I guess the one perk of it is the paths not being limited time.

[fiery sphinx]

Yeah, that is the up side. I just do them passively. I make no effort to actually complete them because they've been pretty lackluster thus far.

[twin pike]

sure it's not limited but still, i don't even have finished the first lunar path!! at some point i'm gonna quit because it's too locked behind the path. I hope they find a better balance and compromise soon

[surreal mural]

me patiently waiting for servers to come back

[flint igloo]

The frogs are waiting at the gates

[old dirge]

s6 will have some sort of metric they need to maximize (daily, weekly, monthly active players or something) that feeds into conversions (players making their first premium purchase) for quarterly report reasons, so that plus their early talk about how slow they wanted everyone to play (there used to be more friction and they said they want people to explore and memorize the maps so they won't add a minimap, etc) is definitely at odds with how fast some want to play and earn things - there's probably always going to be tension between that intent & financial approach and demands from the community

[marsh depot]

No yeah, I definitely get it, I was just further adding to why it might be alright for many, idk. Definitely valid to have different opinions on the matter.

As someone who was very unhappy with how timegated decorating was in Nikki, I fully get it.

[twin pike]

yes totally valid! everyone have their own approach to the game

[old dirge]

just need to win the lottery to become an investor or purchaser of s6 to influence the demands on them so they can be free 🤣

[twin pike]

I'm doing my best, still haven't won 🤣

[old dirge]

same! though that might be because I'm hoping to win without playing 😆

[scarlet hazel]

i still dont find it to be nice. maybe a big frog print on the back or front. just not a whole pattern. it just looke like pajamas to me /shrug

[twin pike]

Ah yes indeed, works better by actually playing 🤭

[warm python]

Hopefully the VFX on that new outfit isn't too flashy

[scarlet hazel]

i bet it will be

[flint igloo]

As somone who wishes they could wear pajamas to work, I could appreciate froggy pajamas

[old dirge]

it's giving that shamrock suit design that seems to pop up for like half of st patricks themed events everywhere

[twin pike]

anyway I hope the new features for the alchemist cottage are not at the end of the path or i'm gonna cry

[fiery sphinx]

They like to remind us we have no toggle to remove them. So maximum flash.

[warm python]

oh god that's exactly it

[scarlet hazel]

im the type to not want to. i always put on house clothes or pajamas when i get home cause being outside means anything can get on your outfit

[flint igloo]

like cat fur

[scarlet hazel]

honestly really poorly done... could of had a nice clover styled outfit or smth rly

[flint igloo]

meaning inside - though I do go out with cat fur too

[scarlet hazel]

i dont have pets so i dont have to worry about any of that

[warm python]

Most of the cosmetics tend to give me an uhh.... Spirit Halloween vibe, so to say (I hope this is not seen as overly negative)

[old dirge]

i'm glad that landed - i think it's almost a staple of "irish" themed outfits, but my world is very small so I wasn't sure it would make sense

[scarlet hazel]

toontown online just had shirts with a clover and pot of gold on it with green skirt and a clover belt with similar pants. simple, cute and got the message across pretty well

[west marlin]

You don't like being a hot dog?

[old dirge]

since this is frogs instead, the shamrock suit is just the vibes i get and perhaps an intentional design reference. I'm not sure a simple froggie shirt would go over well after the kitsuu shirt; seems like they went a different direction (though we don't know what is free vs premium yet)
Frogbert Hat
Frogbert Tuxedo
Frogbert Onesie
Frogbert Frogskirt
Frogbert Frogshorts

[violet copper]

That was/is one of my favorite games, know the exact shirt you're referencing.

[warm python]

[pallid ferry]

I REALLY hope the list of frog items from the Patch notes isn't only the premium items + the flares. But considering they listed 22 items, I now worry that all the "interesting" items they listed to hype up the path are premium, and yall might be right that players who don't pay only get the home pieces.....

Non-paying players going to be locked out of 99% of the "frog" in the Frog Path will not feel super great.

[alpine bloom]

They do want you to pay money. So I guess you only get the not interesting things for free

[marsh depot]

Honestly, yeah. Similarly to the Cardigan and Shred path, but I guess we can only wait and see until the patch is out

[storm magnet]

same, only free for me.

[dull crow]

wish they would just let us spawn the gold bee with the normal honey lure instead of introducing another new honeylure with a limited amout of use only to create fomo thats a big L

[little robin]

Golden Glory Bees can be spawned on honey lures 🐝 I took advantage of that update to finally get the elusive starred one!

[dull crow]

are you sure and then in which region of the map cause i never found one in a lure

[little robin]

I'm positive 💕 I used my lures in Maji Hollow near tree lines while doing duskwing hunting. The golden bees spawned better (for me personally, in my own personal play experience) the closer to the tree and water edge the lure was.

[dull crow]

ok i never saw a signle bee sapwning in my lures

[noble ivy]

@violet copper question, you can start a hotpot table and it will autostart after I think 2 minutes in this time others are able to join you, cool. You can start a table untill 3 am, but even if you do this no one can join after 3 am, but it does not auto start at 3 am why is that?

[old dirge]

yeah secondary spawns were added to the honey lure... last summer?

[little robin]

Correct! And then there was a specific fix for golden glory bees: #💬│palia-discussions message

So @dull crow if you're not seeing any golden glory on your lures, might be worth a bug report!

[magic thunder]

15 mins !!!!

[midnight moat]

Im so excited! Gonna start at the bulletin board and probably make my way over to elderwood

[sharp grove]

It's definitely accessible. Just do your dailies for XP and you'll get through the paths very quickly. Plus they never expire so you can take as long as you need to get through them.

[magic thunder]

Someone please say when the update is finished

[midnight moat]

It will be announced in https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1135680122964418660 I presume

[half moat]

no bc fr im so ready for it to be donee

[twin pike]

It is for you and I'm happy for you but it is not for me. Thank you anyway

[shy sage]

I cant get the update on palia launcher , but on steam i can

[sharp grove]

Why not? Not trying to be a jerk or anything, I just want you to be able to get the path items!

[spark vigil]

Why is it still saying down for maintenance on East Coasr USA?

[scenic vault]

So you actually earn a small amount of exp for the paths by leveling your skills

[leaden hound]

Downtime got slightly extended. If everything goes right the servers will be up in a couple mins

[spark vigil]

Fingers crossed!! Thank you 💜

[leaden glen]

Update is still in progress, a few more minutes and we should be able to get in. Just be patient and keep an eye on #📢│palia-news

[spark vigil]

💜💜💜

[twin pike]

i don't need to level up my skills anymore, but thank you

[storm olive]

They are just saying that doing things : mining, hunting, fishing, etc - help get lunar path XP

[twin pike]

I already knew that

[storm olive]

So, you don’t have to ONLY do dailies & doesn’t force you to play any certain way.

[twin pike]

it does in a way since it's mandatory to unlock housing features. I prefer the old system or would rather like a better balanced system. Gating housing core feature behind the lunar path is not to my liking

[warm flume]

Do you do a lot of cooking parties or something?

[twin pike]

I don't

[scenic vault]

See I am ok with this because i already play the game and am going to actually play the game. Now if it required me to unlock with IRL money i would have a problem. Its a choice to have the fancy new houses not the standard houses and if i want it im going to grind out for it. if i dont im not going to do the work.

[glacial drift]

I much preffer them tying housing items to the paths than the monthly events. I know those eventually get cycled into the gacha at town hall, but being able to unlock them in the order I want.

[twin pike]

That's your opinion fitting your playstyle

[hoary night]

i sense a lot of negativity here

[warm flume]

I’m just confused on why you like paying with gold more than xp from gameplay considering you have to play the game to make gold anyway?

[glacial drift]

My gacha luck is always just the worst be it the rummage piles or the lucky coins

[tough vortex]

Has anyone updated the game on switch but it still says can’t access it?

[glacial drift]

Servers are still down

[twin pike]

i'd rather gather materials in order to unlock the furnitures. Not having to do dailies and other activities giving a certain amount of xp for the path.

[flint igloo]

They will announce when the game is up again

[marsh granite]

why is the slow mode 3 whole minutes now… anyways i started playing palia when it first came out on switch and then i lost my switch for a year and i just found it so does that make me an og or still a newbie? also how do i claim roles?

[spark vigil]

Yes..they said for me to be patient

[tough vortex]

I see the new patch update though so that’s a good sign! Just won’t let me in lol

[twin pike]

I never said that!

[violet lion]

Palia still down servers are down

[spiral perch]

Me too, usually when it lets me download the update that’s it but guess more patience required.

[violet lion]

I redownloaded the game still can't play it

[young plank]

sips coffee so from my understanding we get the zendruu tree this patch and the new area next patch?

[outer stone]

update is taking longer than predicted, servers will be down until it's done

[glacial drift]

I don’t know if it is confirmed the new area is NEXT patch, but it should be coming fairly shortly.

[violet lion]

Sitting here twiddling thumbs

[young plank]

sweet then yeah im back full time for palia till i finish all the story quests

[violet lion]

Do you think it will be back before tomorrow

[outer stone]

and even when servers are back up they're gonna be crowded and laggy 😛

[twin pike]

we are not agree and that's fine, I wasn't there to try to change anyone else opinion but to share mine, but it seems pointless. Have a great day everyone, take care

[glacial drift]

The bum rush to get in is always ‘fun’

[warm python]

Telling someone to "have a better day" when they're critical of something in the game isn't very constructive, in my humble opinion

[violet lion]

It's seems longer than last update

[young plank]

Yup patch day will do that to ya. Thats why we can sit here and talk about lettuce. yeah those seeds have a thick layer of dust on them

[tough vortex]

They just announced it’s live butttt we will see if it works lol

[marsh depot]

Hey guys, I think it's kinda important to consider not everyone has the same amount of time available for playing, and let's not try to dissuade someone from how they feel, both opinions are valid but let's not try to steamroll someone for having a different opinion. It's not very constructive tbh.

[violet lion]

Mines. Not live lol

[glacial drift]

In my experience sometimes Servers can have an issue when being refreshed after a big update and can refuse to complete the cycle. So you get stuck restarting it a few times until it takes.

[outer stone]

i'm probably gonna wait until tomorrow when the servers are less busy

[twin pike]

yeah it really makes me feel horrible, i won't talk in the discord ever again (or rather not share my in depth opinions 😔 )

[earnest geyser]

they need to lear to tell time

Sorry y'all. Full disclaimer, the genchat is moving at 100mph so some things might get missed!

Lord have so much mercy - I meant it genuinely. It’s hard when text doesn’t convey tone.

Wasn’t tying to dissuade, I don’t feel like anyone was; I fear, from my pov, it was an attempt for another viewpoint/outlook/advice so maybe it didn’t seem so daunting?

Idk. Happy update day! Get your virtual bag gains on! 🤪✨🌞

You know what grind im not looking forward too? making a bunch of red tints to reapply to everything in my house T.T

[cinder comet]

@wind apex #💬│palia-discussions message

reference this message as your message will be removed at this time.

[old dirge]

okay I was excited but reading the start of the new msq has me so said I need to go do errands - could be theory crafting! but no. I do appreciate that the quest starts on the plot though instead of needing to track someone down

[young plank]

My rant about dyes since im redoing my house is this. WHY ahah. I feel like it would of been a better setup if they had stuck with the tints from before with the oh gosh what were they called kits or something? Anyway still have new dye system but instead of requiring more rng items just take away from the kits like before. Because it feels like a chore within a chore of a chore you know?

[cinder comet]

As a heads up, the slowmode timer is temporarily increased for this channel until things settle down to help mitigate people using this as a workaround for the high slowmode that's currently in Gen. We will put it back to normal (hopefully soon).

Don't forget to set your new path!!

I really like the mix of new items for the tadpole path this time! Even if the mask is a thing of nightmares to me, its is nic eot see the free path get so many wearables.

[warm python]

I have no idea what the new slow mode is until I send this message so see you on the other side folks lol

The free path has several cosmetic clothing pieces you say?

[sinful mesa]

I logged in to check for you, yeah theres a handful of free froggie cosmetics on the path!

[cinder comet]

General is settling down so the slowmode is removed from this channel.

[somber crag]

Be FREE.

[warm python]

Don't encourage me like that Anner /j

[somber crag]

I haven't seen screenshots from the path yet, though I'm sure they exist. Frog cosmetics... hmmm.

[marsh depot]

Are froggie buckets included? Asking for a ValkOrii

[little robin]

Red Frog Bucket is a free reward on the Lunar Path 🎈 (Level 27)

Green frog bucket free reward on Level 8

[warm python]

I love frogs but the frog print on those clothes are just so teeny tiny and isn't as cute as I'd hope

[young plank]

Nothing like loggin in and finding subria swimming in the ocean underneath to the point it was a lizard moment of finding her

[old dirge]

YES there is a new one two on free levels - I immediately thought of ValkOrii

[marsh depot]

I dont know why it really makes me think of Reptarland from the Rugrats in Paris movie...

It'd better on the watering can but the pickaxe looks so odd

huh, the board quest kicked me back to the board in kilima after talking to hassian in bahari without warning, so 2 extra server loads to get back to where i was before talking to him

"Path of the Cat"

Have we ever gotten another Nibbler Dragon plush release? Or was it just the once?

[somber crag]

Thanks for your help on redirecting folks, discussions folks.

... folks x2. I'm leaving it.

[warm python]

Folks squared /nodnod

[sudden igloo]

Tish's letter says that the honeybunch recipes are available at her register, but they aren't. They are from the guild store.

[dark moon]

We got a repeat if you were giving premium gifts during winterlights. But not a free re-release

[fiery perch]

oh, bless. Something to get eventually whenever i play again haha

[warm python]

I see an Orii!!!

[fiery perch]

yes hello i just woke up

[marsh depot]

Hiiii Orii, have you seen the news?

[marsh depot]

I wish I could get it for you instead (but if you eventually want to play again just hit me up anytime!)

[sweet dirge]

I have a wish dye ribbon but can't get to the fairgrounds anymore, and it's off the stables fast travel map. What do I do with the ribbon now?

[pallid ferry]

You stick it into your storage and hope you remember you have it next February

[sweet dirge]

Ha! Also I ran out of storage space and don't see anything in Tish's store for upgrading my storage. Am I missing something?

[fast tapir]

ah... uh... trying to enter the tree was not the way to go apparently.

unstuck does nothing lol

[pallid ferry]

Remember to spoiler images for the first week or so of the update, for those who don't want the story spoiled!

[fiery perch]

<3 One day, maybe lol. I'm usually too busy or working on other stuff now, and, admittedly, due to still being locked with MSQ it makes me not wanna log on. But, I'm glad the frog bucket(s) are in the path so that'll be there for me in the future

[primal lichen]

just had to go back to my housing plot bcz same

[little robin]

You'll need to go to Tish's register for storage chest upgrade recipes!

[steel basin]

Depends on if you're checking the guild store (accessed by talking to her) or the register! You'll need the register

[sudden igloo]

They aren't from her register, they are from her guild store, so you have to go to her. The letter was incorrect.

[sweet dirge]

Thanks frogga & apollosglare!

[fast tapir]

the only reason i didnt was because there is litterally nothing to spoil lol

[pallid ferry]

Do you have your chests upgraded all the way to platinum (I think eight purple chests)?

[little robin]

I believe the other player is talking about their storage chests to store items in, not the new furniture bundles 😄

[pallid ferry]

Some people dont want to know ||that you can enter the tree||. If it wasn't in the patch notes, let other players experience it.

[azure thistle]

Is there any clues for finding the eggs or how do we find them?

[pallid ferry]

#🤝│game-help , but I believe it works similar to the Halloween Candy did in that we'll find it randomly.

[little robin]

!eggs

[opal cypress]

How to find eggs:

• Blue Eggs can be found ||by Fishing.||
• Green Eggs can be found ||by Foraging.||
• Red Eggs can be found ||by Hunting.||
• Yellow Eggs can be found ||by Bug Catching.||

Additionally, a random mix of these eggs can be found by Mining, Gardening, and Ranching.

[azure thistle]

Aah, thank you both! ☺️

[signal tendon]

I wished that the animals we retire had their own pen so we could visit them 😞

[civic mauve]

I love the camera update but why is it still at hip height? 😭

[sweet dirge]

Not yet. I'm still new-ish and haven't saved up that much money to drop that kind of bank, but now I've got goals. Thanks! ☺️

[steel basin]

They certainly become p necessary rather quickly- when my wife and I first started we watched a bunch of inventory management videos but none of them mentioned how to upgrade inventory so we were v stressed for a while 😂😂😂

[stuck oar]

Not sure if this counts, but the information's wrong for the honeybunch decor.
Honeybunch Hexaframe | Honeybunch Bee Plaque | Honeybunch Rug | Honeybunch Screen cannot be crafted & must be purchased from the underground.

[glass lava]

Is there a new storyline this patch?

or is that for later?

[lyric night]

there is a new story quest concluding the elderwood story yes, roughly an hour
We will also get the royal highlands in a few months which will introduce more story

[glass lava]

awesome thank you so much!!

[serene bison]

I can't even go back to my housing plot 😭

[next mauve]

Did the Palia general section vanish?- nvm discord issues

[pallid ferry]

I guess it makes sense the rug and screen can't be, to scale with the others....

But def needs to be corrected

[next mauve]

Actually, is anyone else having this weird glitch? This channel and general vanish and come back intermittently

[jolly marsh]

Try checking id:browse to see if you need to add them to your list of channels

[nova epoch]

The new quests made me so damn sad 😭

[stuck yew]

Same like why am I tearing up 🥲

[nova epoch]

Even tho they were very sad, I think they were amazing
It cleared up many things and gave the world more depth if that makes sense

I just want to hug Ulfe man

[stuck yew]

Added so much depth to the storyline, very well done 🥰

[dull crow]

are you sure i did some honey lure and no glory bee didnt spawn

[nova epoch]

I absolutely cannot wait for the royal highlands dude

[little robin]

Positive. the linked comment that you just replied to is directly from Lacie who said there was a fix deployed for this back in July 2025.

It may be good for you to submit a bug report to document your experience

[dull crow]

would be nice if soemone coudl link the patch notes from it aswell and maybe they should say something like the rainbow frog in tha patch notes aswell cause the patch notes are mostly not that informative when it only containes the half of the patch and the other things are in the sixt tracker

[rare wyvern]

this may have been answered already. are the bees now spawning naturally? do we no longer need to chop trees?

[warm python]

It's very avant garde, you see

[marsh depot]

Too avant garde for our comprehension /silly

[west goblet]

Why is the game so laggy

[primal yew]

Is it just me or is this Elderwood update seem only half done? this Mauvais Way is bare and obviously has structures copy and pasted together from all over Elderwood, and even the flow flowers do not have their own icon and there is nothing to collect or forage. The quests are insanely easy. And the start of the quest is bugged where you drop in the floor and either have to return home or restart the game. I wish they worked more on it before releasing.

[hybrid dagger]

I figured it was a separate map for the quests with no distractions. Lack of
stuff to forage was disappointing, though.

[robust garnet]

So disappointed by the choice to remove the alchemist housing from in game currency availability. Was just about to purchase my first one, and now I would need to spend $60 real life to get just the one 😔

Per the latest quest, extremely lacking, took no more than 20 min to finish.

[woven moss]

Wait what?? You can't buy alchemist housing with gold anymore? 😭

[robust garnet]

No, it's gone from the shop, it's in the new lunar path 😔

[woven moss]

Well that's incredibly disappointing

[robust garnet]

Extremely

[woven moss]

I was planning on doing a really cute alchemist plot at some point. So much for that

[robust garnet]

I had plans as well, and cannot justify spending $60 real $ just for one building

[lyric night]

then don't, the alchemist stuff is free

[little robin]

You do not have to buy premium or buy the unlock plan in order to get the Alchemist pieces. They are listed as free on the lunar pad so you can earn them by earning lunar XP over time

[robust garnet]

No it's not

[robust garnet]

My mistake, I looked briefly... But still not nice of them to move it

[lunar smelt]

Does anyone did the flowflowers quest? "Even as a dream" which is the correct order to put, cause it s not working for meee nothing

[stiff nymph]

#🤝│game-help should be able to help more!

[lunar smelt]

Nevermind i figure it out i was puting in the pots to check :))

Tyyy 🫶🏻

[jolly cave]

Spoilers maybe.... Anyone else dissapointed with the Elderwood quest? I haven't played for a while and was excited to get back in to it when they announced the story for Elderwood would continue. And now... I'm left like they just copied and pasted the previous quest and reused part of a map we already have.

[eternal sail]

yeah same

its supposed to be another map but...

[lyric night]

it was never supposed to be another map ||it's the past which makes sense story-wise||

[eternal sail]

i read it wrong then

[crystal girder]

okay then

[keen marlin]

Poor Tamala :((

She doesn’t deserve that treatment

[crystal girder]

she got shish kabobbed

[keen marlin]

:(((

[arctic lichen]

At least she isn't letting that Dampen her mood LOL

[wide cliff]

Same thing happened to me

Did the voice actor for Tamala change?

[topaz lintel]

She has become the pillar of the community.

[calm elm]

Some players are pushing devs for an update. They themselves knew they needed more time because they planned to release this update together with the next area

[odd loom]

So, when do we actually get to visit the new adventure area?

[odd loom]

Well, nvm then

[calm elm]

Should be by the next update

[odd loom]

Thats honestly kinda lame

[lyric night]

current update together with the next adventure zone was never the plan

[glass lava]

eggs drop from anything right?

[leaden glen]

[opal cypress]

How to find eggs:

• Blue Eggs can be found ||by Fishing.||

[regal breach]

i was literally planning on having enough gold for the alchemist cottage TONIGHT 😭 so sad

y’all said it’s in the lunar path tho right ?

[little robin]

Yep the recipes for the Alchemist pieces are now in the Lunar Path to earn! So now they will be craftable like the estate pieces are.

[regal breach]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[calm elm]

You're right, they never said that. However, I got the feeling from their announcement that they couldn't give this update quick enough because they needed more time for the new area development. It's no wonder if this update would feel half-assed

[dreamy harness]

Does anyone know why I cant pick this up?

[proven junco]

In two hours of hunting, fishing, foraging, mining, ranching, etc. I've gotten ONE egg. Not sure I want to continue playing.

[glass lava]

yea i think the drop rate is just stupid

[little robin]

You've likely already completed this quest. The grocery list leads to the macaron recipe. If you've got this recipe, you're good to go!

[glass lava]

i've gotten like 2 different eggs from random stuff and i've resourced alot

25 of each egg ? stupid

[dreamy harness]

Ok thank you. Does it to this one. Theres another by the elder wood entrance It does it too

[dreamy harness]

Found fishing with others. I got 5 blue eggs from my home plot

[stiff igloo]

Is the friend adding bugged right now?

[old dirge]

yes #🌟│sixer-tracker message

[frosty wharf]

Anyone having issues w their glider?

It won't work for me.

[little robin]

When you say having issues, what specifically is happening for you?

[glass lava]

i refuse to be a slave to this .... 10 starred duskwing butterflies? ...

[frosty wharf]

It's not popping up, I'm on Xbox control and you Jump then press the button again and you glide. The glider isn't popping up at all tho it is equipped.

[glass lava]

i'm out

[little robin]

When you check your accessories page, you see your glider spot is full/showing a glider, and it is not empty/black shadow?

[frosty wharf]

Yep

[little robin]

Have you restarted the game since this issue began?

[hard granite]

Anyone crying with the new quests? I know I am bowling my eyes out

[tame knot]

Damn, that cutscene was beautiful.... 😒😒😒

[frosty wharf]

Yeah :/

[leaden glen]

There is no cutscene for this quest

[tame knot]

Yeah, that was scarcasm 🙁
This is just sad.

[little robin]

Thank you for letting me know! You may want to send in a player support ticket and show screenshots of your accessories page showing the glider is equipped (this would be where your fishing bobbers and romance pins are), and then describe the issue of the glider not deploying. Let them know you've already tried a restart and had no success.

!support link blow for that ticket.

[opal cypress]

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

[young plank]

ngl i was a little sad they chose that route. I waited a long time to finally get the answer but a black screen? T.T

[tame knot]

Yeah, very disappointed we get this 😕 All the hype, no cookie 🙁

[frosty wharf]

will do ty

[keen marlin]

Is Tamala’s VA different???

[keen marlin]

I was NOT happy :/

[placid beacon]

[glass lava]

I am really disappointed in this update ... this quest line is like what ... 20 mins long? .... and Ulfe character is made weird ...

and yea the black screen thing is just ...

[arctic lichen]

I actually recorded the full quest from start to finish it was 2 hours long.

[glass lava]

felt like 20 mins LOL

[arctic lichen]

Fair Just wanted to give the full number

[placid beacon]

spoiled just so others who want to be can be surprised, but this line has me in joyful tears 🤣

[arctic lichen]

There are several lines like that that had me Roaring in laughter

there is one moment where I was crying from how touching the story was and I was in the middle of crying while also Laughing cause the dialog was also so funny

[mental creek]

anyone have news on the horse head

[lyric night]

no, but its surely meant for april fools

can be expected in the store then probably

[mental creek]

i would love to have it

[placid beacon]

oh okay, so ralf's diary just gonna be like that? my heart

[arctic lichen]

Make it a place able item and you can have a Godfather reference

[red comet]

Well. I'm stuck in the ground. Unstuck won't work and I can't warp home 😂 fun!

[little robin]

If it's during the new quest, you should be able to log off and back in to resolve this.

[red comet]

I'll give it a try

[placid beacon]

[warm python]

Oh, that's......

[old dirge]

anyone keeping a list of " things coming during this patch that are purposefully not yet listed in the patch notes" like the upgrade to the wardrobe menus

[tame knot]

They left out nameplates 😭
tho its a rly great improvement

[frank grail]

Theres a second tool wheel now?? Maybe I just somehow missed it before, but now on Xbox when you pull up the tool wheel it says "switch to secondary tools" and there's a whole other wheel

I got excited thinking it was for the new MSQ, but alas

[warm python]

For those who played, I know they kept talking over and over about how this update was taking longer because it was a big one that needed extra time and loving, was that ultimately the case?

I don't know too much about what's goin' on with it tbh

[frank grail]

Personally, I think its a little less content than what I expected but its very well done. May be slightly spoilers? ||Im not sure if it was explicitly stated that it would only be one quest|| it feels like a new temple kinda

Id say its a good mix of puzzles (although they are kind of easy) and lore, but i like the lore more tbh so I was happy that it leaned slightly more lore

[warm python]

[frank grail]

Some people are saying it only took them 20 min, but with me reading through everything to make sure i didn't miss anything, it took me abour 2 hr

[marsh depot]

I guess we'll fully know for sure with the release later in the update.

Referencing this #🌟│sixer-tracker message, for clarity.

[frank grail]

The link to original message is broken for me, was Lacie talking about the Open Season event? Or something else coming later

I read it earlier when it happened but I cant remember

[stiff nymph]

[frank grail]

Oh yeah no I meant what shes talking about when she says "IT will be during this patch" idk what "it" is lol. I thought it was the Open Season event, not like a new content patch

[old dirge]

oh i have that too on PC - supports the we're getting a staff/wand theory

[frank grail]

Hm, yeah that does suggest more content later I hope so! But also when she says there will be more time between this patch and the next, that makes me think we wont get more content until the big patch for the royal highlands

[marsh depot]

Up for interpretation I guess, I only linked to what Lacie said since I can't speculate on it, guess she will bring more clarification at some point.

[frank grail]

Unless they release more without a patch? Idk how it works, I've played for a while but only started following releases/the discord recently

[warm python]

So probably horse mask in the cash shop, then

[dense cedar]

I believe that was in regards to the open season community event since it's a month away and someone mentioned it is usually the week after the update

[lyric night]

that's the joke after all

[warm python]

only game I know of that puts their april fools day joke behind a cash shop it's a pity

[placid beacon]

Supposedly the bag doesn't care that I made a rude gesture at it for its insistence, but it seems to be holding a grudge 😂

[lyric night]

there is still a chance that it won't be of course bcs it wasn’t announced yet but after last years april fools. yeah lost case

[frank grail]

That line made me laugh, there was some good dialogue in this update

[frank grail]

Time to drop my Dragon Age knowledge. Dragon Age Origins had a micro transaction dlc that was called the "feastday gifts and pranks" and was exactly what it sounds like lol

[warm python]

Oh man it's been so long since DA:O I didn't even remember that

[frank grail]

I just got into it last year, and basically played them backwards from inquisition lol. I got the ultimate edition that had the feastsay gifts and pranks bundled in it but I couldnt believe it was something people had to buy separately before lol

[placid beacon]

100%, give the kid my houses

[warm python]

That's one way to become a homeowner in this economy

[placid beacon]

all of us when we didn't get a cute or cool animation
using this subira quote to cope LOL

[marsh depot]

I do remember League had a... April's Fools adjacent pack you could purchase for a small amount of RP and you could get a chance at some of those prank skins they often release

But they still did have an April's Fools event iirc

[arctic lichen]

Subira is one of my favorite characters of all time. She is one of the smartest Characters but still Naive to relationships given her past. It's really cute in My opinion and she contrast well with Tamala very well.

[waxen dock]

Hey, newer player here, do we get any decent cosmetic by being f2p or only dolphins+ get anything?

[nova solar]

well there are a few ways of getting free clothing, one of them is from the lunar passes where there are free cosmetics in them, another is through the refer a friend incentive where if you refer 5 friends, you get cosmetics along with some plushies and decor, there is also the mystery outfit gift but have fun convincing anyone to gift you one

[old dirge]

darn, s'mores aren't placeable

[stiff mountain]

Am I allowed to post theories about todays update or no?

[stiff nymph]

Just put it in spoilers cause some haven't been able to play the update yet. (Hiding the text and preface it's spoilers).

/gen

[waxen dock]

Ah, I see, thanks! I dont mind spending a little bit, but the currency is just too expensive for my country so I want to spend it wisely

[cloud obsidian]

Did not appear from inspration

[tacit reef]

have any of ya'll come back to the game for the first time since launch recently? there are so many quests that it feels so overwhelming every time i try to get back into the game. don't think i've done a main quest since the first 1-2 months of beta launch

[marsh depot]

Basically what manakit said, there's some very few options for F2P, but aside from that, all cosmetics are paid. There is the Zeki's Loyalty Club which gives you an amount of palia coins daily for 30 days, it can be a good option if you want to save up on coins for something in specific.

Now if the F2P cosmetics are worth it or not, is entirely up for personal choice tbh I think the refer a friend ones are cute but that's about it.

I would recommend seeing how you feel about the game first/how much you play before making a purchase, though it's definitely up to you ofc! I do think the capsule bundle is a decent deal if that one still exists.

[placid beacon]

about to make Ulfe so happy 😄

[waxen dock]

Thanks for the tips!

[stuck yew]

I’m confused by the eggs, I thought red was dropped for hunting but I just got one picking a lake lotus and haven’t gotten a single green no matter how much I forage?

[hallow aspen]

Is the fairy hair for the new outfit not going to look like the model in Jel's shop? Has anyone noticed the actual item is way shorter?

[cosmic jackal]

the team has been made aware of this

[stuck yew]

Maybe I just have bad luck I haven’t gotten a single green egg to drop, all my foraging eggs have been red
