[barren kite]

in my 10 years in QA, the one thing i have learned is that the confluence of the greatest minds in the world can still be outsmarted by a single confused user

[cyan basin]

also yep

[spice root]

indeed truth haha

[upbeat shale]

there will be no unused space for crops in my land

[plain hound]

sooo true

[spice root]

people that have no idea what they're doing often "test" better than those that KNOW exactly how to break things some times

just don't know how to describe or remember what they did to make it break is the bad part

[spark helm]

my friend used to be a tester and it was hilarious when the team got back to him with a HOW DID YOU EVEN DO THIS

[cyan basin]

"a human walks into your house, spontaneously combusts, breaks all your kitchen appliances, and stands there asking inane questions like 'do you have the time, my watch seems to have stopped' while they burn your furniture down"

[viscid aurora]

lol

[agile pivot]

I saw "its like animal crossing" and slammed on the button 😄 Annnd now im here~!

[echo estuary]

Does this game have open world pvp?

Or is it just those open world pve game?

[cyan basin]

No traditional PVP

[lament bone]

HAVE YOU EVEN watched the videos

[spark helm]

I don't think it has much pvp at all

[lavish remnant]

Think the plan was to MAYBE add some type of pvp

[echo estuary]

ok, thanks. I'm out. No pvp: no fun\

[cyan basin]

We recommend you check out the FAQ, and the stickied post on Ask the Team, and watch the trailer a couple of times, it will answer many of the questions you have, and a lot faster

[lavish remnant]

Okay I luv u buh bye!

[cyan basin]

good luck, Camila, glad you stopped by

[lament bone]

you are going to regret those words

[cyan basin]

this game won't be for everybody, and its good that people find out quickly if it will

[prisma wraith]

You know, I love PvP. But it's good sometimes to play game that doesn't revolve around PvP

[lavish remnant]

Based on the concept of this game, I think a Coliseum would be nice, one where an audience can actually go into and watch. lol

[void wind]

yeah. people see "mmo" and think "it's gonna be the next WoW!"

No, it's gonna be the first Palia.

[prisma wraith]

In a game where they want everything to be community based, bringing PvP would most likely just bring some sort of toxicity around the community aswell

[lament bone]

palia looks nothing close to wow

[cyan basin]

That's why they are not calling it an MMORPG, but a Community Simulator MMO

[candid sky]

Eh some ppl just want pvp for me I’m a little disappointed that there’ll be no “traditional” pvp but it’s ok I’m sure they’ll deliver really well in other parts of the game

[lavish remnant]

You want to be the next WoW, stop making your game with a realism art style would be the first step! lol

[prisma wraith]

That sounds about right

[void wind]

Everyone just associates the word MMO with the kind of game WoW is

[pallid nimbus]

Completetly agree with you

[void wind]

Level grindy, eraiding endgame kind of thing

[prisma wraith]

Clearly people forgot about to good old MMO Text based browser >:D

[pallid nimbus]

I don't like this kind of games for the PVP experience

[void wind]

which I'm glad this game isnt

[dim cedar]

I'm personally excited to see an mmo nothing like wow

[pallid nimbus]

just seems out of place

[umbral musk]

I want to stream this :3, Its look like Stardew and I love it

[void wind]

Just dont stream the pre-alpha!

[umbral musk]

When this will be up to play?

[spark helm]

#soon

[umbral musk]

sure! lets just play than

[cyan basin]

There is no release date, they are currently at pre-alpha testing

[proper phoenix]

Make a really creative game where the only limits are the players creativity

[candid sky]

There will likely be some element in this game that will attract toxicity but I will admit pvp does attracts toxicity more than other elements of a game

[cyan basin]

Time to Genetalia 3.22microseconds

[candid sky]

For example maybe there will be some toxicity between clans or neighborhoods

[prisma wraith]

It brings the min/maxers in and usually that's where it goes downhill

[spark helm]

chappa/chuu already brings toxicity

[solar stratus]

the sole reason why ffxiv won't have a dps checker

[lavish remnant]

more like 3.22 microinches! got em!

[prisma wraith]

I honestly only played the first iteration of ff14. It's perhaps something I should give an other try one day

[proper phoenix]

Landmark did it Dual Universe did it

[spark helm]

I miss FF11 ;_;

[candid sky]

Yeah ppl who try to be the best at everything without having fun can often contribute to toxicity in a community not trying to say that mon/max ppl are toxic themselves

[cyan basin]

Not saying it can't be done, just that it has to be very careful. I used to play SWG and decorate houses there, and the things that cannot be unseen....

[umbral musk]

lets just enjoy the game, forget about the toxic people lol

[solar stratus]

yeah 1.0 was bad

[cyan basin]

As a community, we tell the downers and nay-sayers and trolls 'hey man, that's not cool'

[serene orchid]

Can someone point me in the direction of the chapaa and chuu pictures?

[clear wraith]

PvP was never my jam in WoW. I liked it in SWTOR only because tanks had utlity and I could protecc my friends. That said: I will pillow-fight all of u in Palia.

[viscid rover]

You have to make it boring to troll.

[cyan basin]

Oohh, go to the suggestions for pillow fights!

[lavish remnant]

In a game of this design, might be nice to have houses under bridges for the toxic ppl. 😏

[umbral musk]

Its something I got in mind will be a casino game? like BDO or something

[clear wraith]

That's where I got the idea from!

[pearl ore]

Pillow fight with friends. Water balloon fights with rival neighborhoods

[clear wraith]

But if we wanted to all storm the Suggestions channel with demands for pillow-fights I will join the crowd

[patent adder]

I am back friends. I hope no one new missed me 🥺 I couldn't say hi to them

[cyan basin]

There is a semi-chess-like game in the tavern in the trailer

[candid sky]

Literally have trolls living under bridges

[prisma wraith]

We are onto something

[floral pond]

Can we feed them occasionally?

[agile pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/quien-anda-ahi-gif-18115113

damn.... now that song is stuck in my head

[cyan basin]

only with billy goats

[candid sky]

Feed them sawdust😈

[vagrant night]

We only eat your hopes, dreams, and good ideas

[floral pond]

Have plenty of hopes and dreams but shortage of good ideas here

[lavish remnant]

Guess you're gonna starve because I have none

[prisma wraith]

[vagrant night]

Fear not. A true troll can generate their own content to troll on. We can create a whole self sustaining eco system if needed

[patent adder]

[vagrant night]

For real though.. excited to play this game and I'm going to keep trolling to an absolute minimum

[candid sky]

I thought trolls live off the reaction of their victims though

[vagrant night]

React to this message and watch my power grow

[prisma wraith]

As a fellow troll, I will support you in your effort of non-trolling

[noble wolf]

hi all, just discovered Palia and very excited, hope it's something I can play w/ my partner who is more animal crossing / stardew type player

[patent adder]

Awwh welcome 😄

[celest maple]

That's how they get food

sh- answer the wrong person lol

[floral pond]

welcome! I'm hoping my partner will get into Palia too but he's more of a WoW type gamer so I doubt it

[celest maple]

Trolls don't eat normal food, they feed on their victims pain/anger

[cyan basin]

So, farming peeps. According to the sticky on 'ask the team' you can place your house anywhere you want on your lot, so I will be maximizing my fields of non-carrot crops to the best of my ability

[noble wolf]

well i'm more of a WoW type gamer and hoping to get into Palia too so i have faith 😉

[clear wraith]

You never know! My spouse and I met in WoW and now we're both signed up for the Palia pre-alpha. There's hope.

[floral pond]

That's great to know. Thanks!

[prisma wraith]

Same I hope this will get my gf into mmo gaming at least

[umbral musk]

Wow is dead, lets bring something new to table plz

[solar stratus]

Blizzard killed it xD

[celest maple]

So the slots are going to be in a specifically place? like a house terrain

[lavish remnant]

Reminds me of Mabinogi and trying fit things in for maximum efficiency instead of style lol

[cyan basin]

All the new-ish people, we recommend reading the FAQ, the sticky in ask the team, and watching the trailer a couple times, you'll get answers faster that way

[celest maple]

I didn't like WoW fight system, my hand hurt lol

[patent adder]

Sarah knows what's up. Take her advice 😄

[vagrant night]

I will be doing a minimum of that. That's how much this game excites me. I will sign a no troll agreement along with the non disclosure one to get in the pre alpha

[umbral musk]

I got a good feeling when I see the Palia video.

[cyan basin]

They didn't specify, just that you can place it where you want on your lot, not pre-set

[lavish remnant]

Yeah that faq sheet is wild

[floral pond]

That's how I felt about GW2, Donna! Constant button mashing

[cyan basin]

Yeah, arthritis sucks, people, go ergonomic now while you still have time

[tropic chasm]

I imagine @cyan basin living in a tent, surrounded by corn fields lol

[celest maple]

That's it, i prefer something more like Black Desert, or Monster Hunter World

[clear wraith]

As a raid tank in SWTOR I had 27 unique keybinds and would use all of them. ... and I had 2 or 3 more for PvP. I know this feel and it's an uncomfortable one.

[prisma wraith]

Posture check

[cyan basin]

Wheat, I demand breadmaking!

[floral pond]

Bread AND cake!!

[vagrant night]

Check out the Azeron Gamepad.. getting one for my upcoming birthday

[restive marsh]

Hello, everyone! Good to meet you all.

[celest maple]

Don't forget the damn cookies!!!

[patent adder]

[celest maple]

Yo'

[lavish remnant]

If I can't grind my own wheat, what is even the point?

[clear wraith]

You make bread, I want a fruit orchard and dairy. We'll make pies and tarts?

[tropic chasm]

If there is wheat, there is Ale, so im in

[cyan basin]

they are going to need either eggs or soybeans to make most baked goods

[restive marsh]

Thank you! Palia looks awe-inspiring thus far. And I hope Cakes would also be on the list.

[lavish remnant]

Can soybeans replace eggs?

[celest maple]

DON'T YOU DARE

[cyan basin]

Yes, soybeans have the same thing that eggs have that lets a fat bind to one side of the molocule, and a water bind to the other side

[floral pond]

Imagine if we can bake things for other people and decorate them 😯

[lavish remnant]

I'm gonna need more context to stop me from doing something. LOL

[cyan basin]

Also, Alton Brown is a god among men

[lavish remnant]

That's awesome, i didn't know that. lol

[clear wraith]

Ingame? idk. IRL, the most common vegan replacements for eggs are flax or aquafaba.

[restive marsh]

Er. I know another replacement for eggs in cakes, and am afraid to mention it.

One unmentioned thus far.

[floral pond]

Is it yoghurt?

[restive marsh]

No, but I love that idea.

Easy flavoring, for sure.

[cyan basin]

there are other items that do it as well, but soybeans is what my research came up with back about 7 years ago when I was plotting 'how do you feed a thousand people on a years long space journey'

[celest maple]

Well if we're going in the inclusion part, actually having vegan and non-vegan ingredients for making the same food is going to be a good hit for the people

[restive marsh]

That would be awesome, yes.

[celest maple]

otherwise PETA is going to come again

like in AC

[quartz shoal]

yo o/

[clear wraith]

I would be completely for this. I'm like "vegan except for cheese because cheese is so heckin good" IRL

[cyan basin]

points at the Suggestions and Feedback section of the Discord

[restive marsh]

Still afraid to share it, but it's certainly not vegan. Also, a difference would be awesome!

[celest maple]

Putting it right away mam'

[restive marsh]

(And I love AC, so bonus points there!)

[patent adder]

Why would you be afraid to share 🤔

[cyan basin]

remember that MOST eggs are non-fertile, so technically they never held life

[restive marsh]

The ingredient's nature. I'll just come out and say it.

[lavish remnant]

I mean I was talking about Yakmoo burgers earlier and no one got offended, so I think we're pretty good with just talking about whatever

[clear wraith]

Wildstar had a "Vegetarian Option" section of its food tree that, if I remember, had the same sorts of buff effects as meat dishes, and I liked that.

[restive marsh]

Blood. Don't ask me who discovered it, or how, but apparently it can replace eggs in cake recipes.

[lavish remnant]

I actually just learned that the yolk of an egg is the start of the butt of chicken or something the other day. lol

[restive marsh]

It stunned me too, for the record.

[cyan basin]

The Ask the Team sticky does mention that animal husbandry has been talked about, but not planned right away

[floral pond]

i miss Wildstar. That's really cool, I never noticed that in the cooking tree

[clear wraith]

Yeah, I'm a herbivore, married to an omnivore. It's my personal choice and I don't judge! But I still really appreciate the options.

[restive marsh]

Glad for you two!

[lavish remnant]

Pretty sure there's a style of cooking that uses animal blood or rather a series of dishes.

[cyan basin]

No Judging Zone here

[restive marsh]

Thank you all, that's a breath of fresh air.

[cyan basin]

unless of course you try to make me eat carrots, then I'll judge you forever

[restive marsh]

And a good sign for the community to be.

[celest maple]

Don't worry, respect above all

[restive marsh]

No Carrotcake would be provided, not to worry.

[floral pond]

quickly throws out carrot cake she was baking for Sarah

[cyan basin]

yuck, not even then

chocolate 4 lyfe

[tropic chasm]

U have to eat your vegetables

[cyan basin]

NO! No carrots!

[clear wraith]

catches that carrot cake and devours

[restive marsh]

I enjoy Vanilla, Chocolate, and the like.

[cyan basin]

its funny, carrots for me as peas are for my brother, so we would trade at the dinner table

[lavish remnant]

Funny, I went from hating carrots most of my life to now being my healthy snack of choice. lol

[unborn geyser]

Blutwurst = Blood Sausage?

[floral pond]

Ohhhh I hadn't actually put it in the oven yet so you're eating raw carrot batter. But at least it has plenty of fibre!

[gentle pewter]

Wait did I hear there's going to be livestock?!

[lavish remnant]

Sounds right? I havent thought about that type of food in forever, but probably. lol

[clear wraith]

... You say that like it's a bad thing.

[vagrant night]

Carrots are only marginally better for you than chocolate. Super high in sugar and you get whatever vitamin it is that helps your eyes elsewhere.. don't fall for the carrot propaganda

[floral pond]

Oh god I hope they're not cute. I don't want to slaughter cute things for food

[pearl ore]

I can't do either of those

[cyan basin]

No, they said that animal husbandry has been requested, but no immediate plans for it

[solar stratus]

blood sausage is great

[gentle pewter]

Much truth hahaha

[restive marsh]

Me neither, but dairy cows and egg hens would be just fine.

[gentle pewter]

"immediate" that means there's hope hahahahaha

[cyan basin]

yeah, they have a long plan of things they want to introduce

[clear wraith]

I'm pretty sure the community has already threatened a riot if we don't get bees.

So we have that going for us at least.

[lavish remnant]

Please no more hens, my neighbor has hens and I have to catch 2-4 of them every other day because they escape, and that rooster looks like he wants to murder me.

[tropic chasm]

Guess i'll have to be a butcher

[gentle pewter]

Oh my!

[cyan basin]

and remember, there are hunters and hunting, so meat would probably be more from that than slaughtering Miss Piggy

[gentle pewter]

Lol!!! I love chickens!!! Especially when they have more than one variation to choose from heheh

[celest maple]

Lol what?

[unborn geyser]

I know many People who likes this too. But i dont Really like the Taste

[lavish remnant]

Ngl, Chaapas look like a primary source for meat from hunting

[cyan basin]

Chicken Collection!

[gentle pewter]

YEEEEEEEEEESSS

[cyan basin]

I think they want honey, more than just bees

[tropic chasm]

Pest hunting, nice

[lavish remnant]

Oh yeah, its pretty cool, neighbor brings us eggs every now and then, pink blue, classic brown, and green.

[clear wraith]

IDK I saw this earlier today.

[floral pond]

Noooooo not the Chuuuus

[vagrant night]

Guinea pigs are a primary source of protein in Nepal.. so why not

[solar stratus]

yeah it's part of viet cuisine

[viscid aurora]

lol

[gentle pewter]

That's like the power rangers of poultry

[celest maple]

Ok but i think also that having Animals in danger inside the came is kinda cool

[viscid aurora]

blood sausage is pretty yum

[sturdy plover]

hiii

[faint dawn]

[restive marsh]

Hello!

[lavish remnant]

Exactly!

[cyan basin]

I have my great-great-grandmother-in-law's cookbook, the things that they made in there are.... um....no thanks

[unborn geyser]

Dont forget the German Version 😁

[solar stratus]

I wanna try that

[sturdy plover]

i'm incredibly excited for this game

[solar stratus]

same bro

[sturdy plover]

the graphics look dope and i loved what we saw of the farming aspect of Palia

[gentle pewter]

Ahreeed

[celest maple]

Actually translates are needed to expand the game

[fringe epoch]

Yeah! It looks great.

[restive marsh]

You and I both. I'll just duck out for now, or other waterfowl of you all's choice.

[faint dawn]

Tgis brings me back totge days of "Elmo want a "

[ancient rampart]

hiya

[restive marsh]

Take care, and I'm greatly looking forward to it all!

[lavish remnant]

I always look for MMORPGs with a more "Toony" style, all these eastern "Realistic" mmorpgs drive me mad

[cyan basin]

For new people, we recommend reading the FAQ, and the sticky in Ask The Team, and watching the trailer a couple of times, that is the fastest way to get answers

[floral pond]

Nothing realistic about DD boobs and 'heavy' armor that barely holds itself together

[gentle pewter]

With how many months I burned in animal crossing last year, I know this is going to have me addicted for awhile lol

[cyan basin]

NO GEESE

[pure gyro]

Same!

[floral pond]

Same here! I was lost in AC world for months

[gentle pewter]

Haha!!

[tropic chasm]

I read that they will begin localization after the pre alpha, so i'm pumped in maybe helping out on brazilian portuguese

[lavish remnant]

Don't forget the high speed dashing classes that can magically keep their clothes on at all times. lol

[faint dawn]

Or the ever popular rule is that the more skin you show, the more powerful you are. xD

[celest maple]

Like: Bigger games don't translate their games to another languages bc the most part of the players ares from USA for example, but they don't check that a big number of part of the ppl don't play the game cos' they don't understand English. At least that's my point of view

[fossil badger]

And they age horribly

[lavish remnant]

Makes me think what a game really needs is a brawler class that has a power up ability where they flex and their shirt explodes off them. LOL

[celest maple]

Surely, Brazil always gets early accesses from games IDKW

[lavish remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/muscular-muscle-dumbbell-saidochesto-macho-gif-18117020

Gotta love Machio-san lol

[floral pond]

And your attack would be an AOE spray of shirt fragments

[pure gyro]

Yes!!!

[faint dawn]

Muscles in palia?.. can charactar be absolurely RIPPED?

[unborn geyser]

Death Shirt 😆

[restive marsh]

(Or an armored monk. Karate in a suit of armor would be welcome.)

[celest maple]

is the pre alpha date confirmed yet?

[restive marsh]

Alright, genuinely heading off for now, night everyone!

[lavish remnant]

Soon ™️

[viscid aurora]

night

[fossil badger]

No

[celest maple]

night

[unborn geyser]

Gn8

[patent adder]

l8r 🙂

[lavish remnant]

Maybe for cooking competitions we can have clothes blowing off like in Food Wars. LOL

[unborn geyser]

Not yet

[fossil badger]

I hope they have a fist shaking emote that I can use for when you damn kids get on my lawn

[viscid aurora]

I will be the kid on your lawn

[lavish remnant]

Go one step further and include a lawnmower so you can multi-task

[fossil badger]

(shakes fist)

[floral pond]

Me too. but only to help you weed

[lavish remnant]

or a lounge chair, either one.

[fossil badger]

Thank u

[viscid aurora]

rocking chair

[lavish remnant]

That's it, I couldnt remember "Rocking Chair" for some reason LOL

[viscid aurora]

can I have my ball back sir, plz Mr.Smaals

[fossil badger]

No. I need to shake my fist. And peek at my neighbors through blinds

I will ever show myself

And spread scary rumors about myself through an alt

[floral pond]

"There they go again, having fun and stuff. I hate it!! shake fist"

[fossil badger]

*never

Also I will not maintain my house

[lavish remnant]

"I don't understand this generation, planting carrots when we have had perfectly good cabbage for generations!"

[inner orbit]

Monster house style

[fossil badger]

"in my day we had to run to dungeons"

[fossil badger]

Amen

[lavish remnant]

XD

[floral pond]

I want to be a crazy cat lady in Palia and have 20 cats on my front lawn

[fossil badger]

"in my day we had to actually talk to people to form dungeon groups"

[viscid aurora]

lol

[fossil badger]

Haahah

[mystic violet]

.>

[pure gyro]

I really want to be a person that looks after my yard and plants stuff IRL but I just can’t do it

[lavish remnant]

Back in my day Chaapas were our friends, now they are an infestation!

[fossil badger]

I'm actually laughing in real life

[floral pond]

I try so hard with our plants but they still die. At least in AC my plants looked nice

[fossil badger]

LIRL - Laughing In Real Life

[lavish remnant]

I'm working my way up there, starting off with the lawn, then moving on to flowers, then food.

[viscid aurora]

back in my days Chapaas were food

[pure gyro]

Sames

[fossil badger]

Bahahha

[lavish remnant]

Want to grow my own fruit and make homemade gelato and die from happiness.

[faint dawn]

"Its like they dont carrot all" xD

[fossil badger]

Noooo wait. I will build an enticing cabin in the woods.

[lavish remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/are-we-friends-friends-friendship-homies-becoming-friends-gif-12803514

[pure gyro]

Never go into the woods

[viscid aurora]

cabin in the woods

dont check my basement

[versed ice]

I will tame the woods and live like a dwarf in the mountains, fight me

[lavish remnant]

"Cabin in the Woods" sounds like a great name for a Halloween Event in Palia. lol

[pure gyro]

We don’t really have woods in Australia

[viscid aurora]

its a horror movie

[lavish remnant]

I know, I'm just saying. lol

[viscid aurora]

lol

[fossil badger]

I will not have a home and run scantly clad in the woods.

[viscid aurora]

build a crack shack

[fossil badger]

/yelling gibberish

[pure gyro]

But I wouldn’t hitchhike in the desert

[celest maple]

I will live under a rock

[viscid aurora]

ok patrick

[versed ice]

I hope we can tame animals as combat pets. Mount trophies to our walls

[lavish remnant]

And we shall call you the mysterious gallum.

[fossil badger]

I will only consume food violently and in a crouched position

[floral pond]

we have shrubs and that's about it

[hearty zinc]

That would be really nice

[celest maple]

Having a bear-like one as my pet!

[faint dawn]

Anything can be a horror setting if you want it...
goes crazy eye with smile:knife:

[celest maple]

Says UWU loud (?)

[viscid aurora]

nuuu dont stab me uwu

[mighty knoll]

BOOM and good evening everyone

[celest maple]

Hate me now!

[sly coral]

My goal is build.

[lavish remnant]

just look at Anastasia, it was a nice animated film and then a crazy man and a bat made it all spooky.

[inner orbit]

I’ll leave you pies at the edge of the forest

[versed ice]

If there are not otters or ferrets for house pets I riot

[viscid aurora]

I loved Anastasia

[dark narwhal]

o/

[sly coral]

I will start 100 projects and only finish maybe 2.

[fossil badger]

I will only retrieve them during server downtime

[shy grotto]

anyone know what the intial price of the game will be

[lavish remnant]

so do I, I watch it every few months, I have a problem, and I am not seeking help.

[viscid aurora]

nope

[lavish remnant]

Nope.

Not even a rough estimate.

[shy grotto]

Aight

[celest maple]

I will end building my house just after decorate the chickens home(?)

[hollow raft]

Any Brazilian? If Yes, please, send me a DM

[slate ruin]

@abstract tusk check #game-suggestions ! I posted something about player libraries/books! 😄

[lavish remnant]

Sounds like my neighbor, every new idea leaves the last project unfinished. lol

[versed ice]

I wonder if seasons will be a thing

[faint dawn]

Im sure a majority of player will be willing to invest at least 20$ into it.. paid or free to play...

[gloomy sage]

I think that will be specific biomes to each season

[lavish remnant]

20-40 is probably a reasonable assumption.

[sly coral]

It's just how my mind works lol. I start on something and then my mind wanders and I do something else.

[gloomy sage]

or will be a seasonal thing (for example when it's christmas the server will be decorated with snowy themes)

[celest maple]

not shure about it, they are a thing now, but in a MMO i don't see it as a interesting thing

[lavish remnant]

Different growing seasons sounds like something that's to be expected thou.

[celest maple]

There wold be better if we have big events that include not only the player but the community too! 😄

[lavish remnant]

4 seasons, 4 weeks in a month, boom, season rotation! lol

[floral pond]

I like the idea of seasonal events and activities like autumn

[versed ice]

Think it would be cool to have seasons. Specific ones allow growth for certain crops like stardew. Also have different animals come out in specific seasons.

[scarlet field]

4.3 weeks in a month

[celest maple]

Just my idea, i've never been into seasons too much, just fortnite lol

[lavish remnant]

Okay Mr. Math!

[pure gyro]

I wonder if my farm will be in a status state when I am not there and the server continues around it. Or if my crops will grow whether I am there or not?

[floral pond]

Here in Australia our seasons would always be opposite to game seasons though

[slate ruin]

@clear wraith In ESO i long for the ability to be able to write my own stories in place-able books that we can edit and write in. Mostly because as an RPer, it can give a lot of insight to a character as well as a character description menu for our avatars! 😊

[celest maple]

Wait, what kind of seasons are we talking about?

I just 🤡

[lavish remnant]

Weather seasons?

[pure gyro]

I know, right?! At least AC gave us our own seasons.

[floral pond]

I was referring to summer, autumn, winter etc

[versed ice]

Legit question for aussies. Do you guys have seasons? Isnt it just perm summer

[sly coral]

Just sounds like Florida.

[lavish remnant]

That's not true, we have Hot and Hotter, two seasons.

[versed ice]

Minus the meth?

[gloomy sage]

basically all the southern hemisphere is just summer

[floral pond]

It varies per state. I think in Queensland even winter can be quite mild. But in Melbourne, Sydney etc we have the full cold winter, hot summer, mild spring and cozy autumn

[lavish remnant]

Between the rain and the heat, I could almost eat air today. LOL

[pure gyro]

It goes Summer, Autumn, slightly colder Autumn, cooler Summer and then Summer again.

[stiff plinth]

we have seasons in Florida. almost summer (spring), summer, oh god is summer over yet (autumn), and not summer

[versed ice]

Okay

[celest maple]

More like Summer is weird, when it arrives, you just feel hot, less hot, and HOT

[sly coral]

You mean drink it.

[versed ice]

I just didn't know if it was like, here's winter where it's 30 degrees cooler now

[celest maple]

Not tryna sound rude but how long does it take to hear back about if you got accepted for early access?

[pearl ore]

Those are my favorite seasons

[lavish remnant]

I made the move from Michigan to Florida, luckily I'm use to the idea of "Wait 5 mins, it'll change."

[floral pond]

It's winter in Melbourne and it's 14 degs celsius right now

[sly coral]

We get maybe two weeks that are not summer maximum throughout the year.

[pure gyro]

Can confirm. Anything below 20 degrees is freezing in Qld.

[lavish remnant]

Also known as "Disney Vacation Week." lol

[versed ice]

BRB let me Google that to F real quick

[celest maple]

At least 3 months, and good luck being selected within 50k ppl

[undone rover]

In texas in the winter morning it is freezing but at 3pm it get super hot and in the summer it's just hot

[faint dawn]

And hurricane.. and red tide (espically near golf...) ded fish.. D:

[celest maple]

Just like in México City

[stiff plinth]

ugh. red tide is HORRID. the smell

[lavish remnant]

ah right I forgot hurricane season started.....I should get supplies.

[celest maple]

Ah darn, guess I'll just kinda check my emails every few weeks then. Sorta thought it would just be 1-2 weeks

[versed ice]

Ooo so about 52 f.

Thats comfy to me

[celest maple]

Nah, i think they're going to tell us when they had selected the people to get the access

[lavish remnant]

I can't sleep if its over 70f lol

[celest maple]

Outta curiosity, is anyone playing?

[faint dawn]

Nope

[versed ice]

Cold > warm.

[lavish remnant]

If anyone was playing, the NDA probably wouldn't allow them to say.

[sly coral]

I'm forced to. AC in this house is ancient.

[celest maple]

Seems like a lot of hype for the game so soon, pretty impressive

[lavish remnant]

Ours blew up, so, was necesary. lol

[pure gyro]

It is regularly over 80 here

[undone rover]

I really hope I get the early access but I'm happy just as long as I see some gameplay

[viscid aurora]

used to 80+

[lavish remnant]

oh ya, its been 90+ here, I just mean cranking on the AC lol

[clear wraith]

OK I know it's not y'all's jam but you are making me very much miss Florida. I'm a tropical bird and love my warmth.

[versed ice]

It hit just shy of 90 today for me before 2pm. Noped out and turned on the air.

[celest maple]

We still need answers, but the game has just been announced, so the DEVS still have a lot to do and share

[glad solstice]

I live in FL, it won't rain for more than 5 min

[lavish remnant]

I lived in the Michigan Winters, I'm basically Ice Cream when it comes to Florida, few minutes and I'm dead.

[sly coral]

I've legitimately been looking for a casual game to play that appealed to me for at least 5 years now. This looks promising.

[clear wraith]

Also that's probably a topic for #💬│off-topic-chat but I'm afraid of that channel.

[glad solstice]

It's so dry but so humid

[abstract tusk]

Excellent! 😊

[lavish remnant]

Finally rained today, was teasing us for awhile.

[celest maple]

Just with the gameplay and the the impressions from the ppl here I'm happy

[viscid aurora]

polar bear

[pure gyro]

My AC died at work and I couldn’t leave my office door open because or goannas and snakes. Also my windows are at ground level so couldn’t open them either.

[versed ice]

Shakes fist at as a person who lived in Ohio.

[celest maple]

Don't believe Big/growing Youtubers! They get paid to say good things

[lavish remnant]

oh dear god. 😮

[undone rover]

There is gameplay?? I've only seen the trailer

[lavish remnant]

It's okay, I came to you guys for fireworks. lol

[slate ruin]

it's a little further up now, but eh. I tried to bring the topic over here instead of there.

[pure gyro]

Also could get a visit from a kangaroo if you have the door open in the late afternoon

[versed ice]

Dude Ohio fireworks shop was crazy

[maiden plume]

Hello everyone!

[undone rover]

Hi

[faint dawn]

Currently in PA.. :3

[celest maple]

Hello

[lavish remnant]

LOL, as an American who hasn't dealt with Kangaroos, that sounds amazing, but as someone who has access to youtube videos, that is horrifying.

[versed ice]

Dude kangaroos scare the shit outta me

[pure gyro]

The are fine from a distance

[lavish remnant]

XD

[versed ice]

They are jacked

[viscid aurora]

I can't imagine much thats life threatning animal wise in the USA

beyond bears

[celest maple]

I thing i'll be very scared if I see one in my house. Maybe because i'm from Australia

[versed ice]

Bears, mountain lions, wolves, cougars

[lavish remnant]

Lots of gators where I live.

[slate ruin]

I know that combat will take a 2nd place in this mmo, but really. Who wouldn't like to wear a sword instead of a walking stick and go find treasure under the mountains even in Palia!? bonus points if you catch the reference..

[sly coral]

Snakes

[floral pond]

Baby kangaroos are pretty cute though

[patent adder]

Deer are dangerous because car crashes

[honest cobalt]

Yeah, wolves! 😛

[faint dawn]

Cyotes scare the heck outta me now..
When your camping and you hear the packof them and their giggling getting closer and closer to the tent.. at 3am..

[pure gyro]

Drop bears

[viscid aurora]

mountain lions are spooked of people more than the other animals

[versed ice]

Still wouldn't want to run into one

[honest cobalt]

My biggest fear - bees!

[slate ruin]

bees are friends. hornets though....

[clear wraith]

I love MMOs, and I love peaceful creative sandbox games. This game looks like it will be 110% my jam.

[versed ice]

But bees are just sky dogs

[lavish remnant]

yo those ground wasps, yellow jackets I think? Those things are monsters.

[versed ice]

They derp

[pure gyro]

Weirdly Australian bees are the nicest animal we have

No sting

[honest cobalt]

Well, the sky dogs in my back yard don't realize they're friends and they bite LOL

[floral pond]

Bees make honey so they're cool with me

I will enjoy them from a distance though

[versed ice]

Yellow jackets and hornets? Nah fuck off

[slate ruin]

are you sure those aren't wasps

[lavish remnant]

Crazy ppl just scooping up a handful of bees with no gloves.

[celest maple]

I think the most dangerous thing I have where I live is spiders, we call them "violinistas", don't know the species name

[sand barn]

Aww bees

[viscid aurora]

I got mad at my mom cause a bee was just chillen on my shoulder then my mom got mad at me that I let it sit there and smacked the bee

[sand barn]

They're the beesneees

[versed ice]

Nooo the bee

[honest cobalt]

Well, y'all talked me into it. I'm going to invite the next bee into my house to join me for coffee and cookies.

[sly coral]

Bees are surprisingly gentle when you don't make them mad

[lavish remnant]

Reminds me that I forgot I had a hornet's nest I needed to murder, oh well, I'll do it tomorrow evening.

[versed ice]

Bees are chill if you don't anger them

[undone rover]

I once had a swarm of bees on my house following the queen

[sly coral]

Don't want to touch them, though.

[viscid aurora]

I was stroking the bee then she killed it :

[versed ice]

;o;

[floral pond]

They're also furry and look like they're wearing yellow prison gear. So cute

[clear wraith]

Bees will die to defend their colony, but they don't really want to and would rather just chill and make honey.

[sand barn]

I revived a bumblebee with some sugar water the other day

[versed ice]

:D

[lavish remnant]

Bees are pretty nice lookin, but still scare the crap out of me when they fly by

[undone rover]

Bee health potion

[honest cobalt]

Will we harvest honey in Palia? Hmmm.

[versed ice]

+10 to buzz

[sly coral]

Sounds likely

[lavish remnant]

I thought someone mentioned something about talking with the devs about apiaries.

[soft geyser]

apiary skill? 👀

[clear wraith]

I very much hope there will be beekeeping in Palia

[vernal cairn]

is it weird if i say this? i hope the game is NOT free to play. i dont know, paying for a game gives it more of a premium vibe. is this just me lol?

[undone rover]

That would be cool

[undone rover]

b r u h

[lavish remnant]

I think a lot of ppl prefer buy to play because the cash-shop becomes less obnoxious

[versed ice]

Another thing people freak out over, jumping spiders

[restive glen]

Tbh I always like free to play games better bc it forces devs to constantly release new things to keep people playing. Idk.

[versed ice]

I love em

[floral pond]

I think buy to play or subscription based games tend to have a nicer community because people want to be there so much they are happy to pay

[honest cobalt]

I need to know more about the game before I make an opinion on payment model. It's too early I think.

[lavish remnant]

Yo, its windy around here and we got a bunch of spiders and these buttholes ride the winds so I walk out my door into random spider webs every day.

[celest maple]

what’s the payment model?

[versed ice]

Lol

[celest maple]

srry new here

[undone rover]

Well yeah but with pay to play to community will be smaller

[lavish remnant]

No payment model yet.

[vernal cairn]

agreed

[honest cobalt]

Has it been announced? I haven't heard.

[viscid aurora]

nope

[spice root]

Buy to play imo

[versed ice]

jumping spiders and orb weavers. Orb weavers make such lovely large webs

[lavish remnant]

Oh hey, when did Dev team and Admin get separated. o.o

[sly coral]

I remember bouncing my head off a spider web once when I was trying to get in my car. I had no idea it was there.

[viscid aurora]

jumping spider cute

[lavish remnant]

Confuses the hell out of my dogs when they walk into, good fun. LOL

[undone rover]

Spider are fine unless they are in my houss

[wanton kestrel]

my dog whimpers when he sees a big spooder

[honest cobalt]

MMO's are expensive to run. An ongoing revenue source, even with B2P, has to involve either a sub or cash shop. They can't run on buy to play alone.

[celest maple]

And less toxic

[soft geyser]

spiders in my house pay rent by eating other bugs

[versed ice]

Ye

[tardy rain]

UMMMM less toxic....

[sly coral]

That's why Daddy Long Legs are awesome

[lavish remnant]

I own 3 cats, if a bug is still alive in my house, I respect them.

[versed ice]

Daddy long legs in corner? Cool eat the house bugs

[tardy rain]

dont say that never buddy xD

[restive glen]

I have no problem spending money on skins. I’ve spent thousands on league 🥴 I’ll gladly support the devs if this ends up being a great game

[pure gyro]

They banned an episode of Peppa Pig in Australia because it said that spiders are friends. They are not friends in Australia

[stiff plinth]

i don't mind one time purchases for a game. this is just my own experience here, but i feel paid games are better polished and less buggy and the communities tend to be less toxic

[viscid aurora]

lol

[celest maple]

Mine don't even catch mosquitoes

[soft geyser]

they creep me out but yes they can stay

[undone rover]

I'm fine with pay as long as it's like 10-20$

[tardy rain]

Theres toxicity but its not that easy to create and account or to go to a black market accounts,buy one wait for it and play again

its what people does in games like LoL

[lavish remnant]

10-20 is pretty cheap for an MMORPG esque game imo, I'm golden at 40

[restive glen]

It’s a triple A title isn’t it? If so it’ll probably be closer to 40-60 right?

[versed ice]

Tell me about it. Played since first day of launch. Over the years I probably dropped a grand on skins.

[celest maple]

According to me that's quite cheap. But yea - that's up to the company to decide 🙂

[tardy rain]

I would put it at 20$ from the start

and after that make it go up

[undone rover]

Idk I need to see more of what it looks like before putting a price

[soft geyser]

i mean overwatch is paid and was still toxic

[tardy rain]

15-20 for the really interested people and later make it bigger

[lavish remnant]

I usually dont put a lot of money into cash shops because I wait for that one outfit that would kill me to not own instead of buying lots of things. lol

[versed ice]

Overtoxic more like it lol

[celest maple]

Yoooo, i just remember Star Wars TOR subscription price and it's like, no thanks

[restive glen]

I wish I had that willpower 🥴🥴

[quaint kernel]

Chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[sly coral]

Honestly, no form of any paywall is going to prevent or even drastically decrease toxicity.

[lavish remnant]

but it's based on always being competitive so of course its toxic. Even doing mystery heroes I get yelled at. lol

[tardy rain]

rt

it just shadows it

[stiff plinth]

oh for sure, there's going to be some level of toxicity no matter what game you play

[sly coral]

Whole lot of other factors involved

[honest cobalt]

Also lack of PvP will impact the community makeup as well.

[sand barn]

Payment options are difficult because it is an MMO. There's people that want subscription, people that can't afford a subscription, people that want MTX, people that want one time purchase. But the developers need to be able to support themselves and their game for a long time..

[tardy rain]

A good way to prevent toxicity would be reputation or something like that

Some state like karma in game

[celest maple]

it's a competitive game, competitive games always have a lot of toxic players. Me and my friends talk about it three day ago actually

[restive glen]

If the devs had bad intentions they could make this game have such an extensive cash shop. I don’t get that vibe from them though. I don’t think we will be paying 5 dollars per house decoration

[undone rover]

The discord doesn't seem toxic so far

[stiff plinth]

BDO has karma in their game. doesn't stop people from being toxic

[lavish remnant]

Like a farming simulator mobile game. lol

"Buy this to speed up your crops"

[soft geyser]

fair points about comp games being toxic lol

[tardy rain]

Yea bro but i mean HEAVY karma,like "oh you want this weapon"? oh you arent enought good fuck off and came later

Like force people to get it

[celest maple]

Actually the better thing to stop toxic player is the "mute" system

Looks honest from my perspective. But you can't give games away for free. A lot of work etc.

[upper monolith]

Yeah im pleased that so far Palia looks like its not purely competitive focused

[celest maple]

You just avoid toxic players and trolls

[tender kettle]

toxicity is a complex thing, there are PVE based MMO full of toxic players aswell.

[candid sky]

Yeah if a game has any level of competitiveness it usually brings in varying amounts of toxicity as long as there’s always a competition there’ll be someone who takes it personal

[soft geyser]

im excited for this game but ngl price and payment model could make it or break it for me

[celest maple]

That's actually toxic

[restive glen]

This game apparently has a 15mil budget so far. They’ll need to make that money back somehow

[versed ice]

I don't think toxicity will be much of an issue with this game. Early players will make connections with each other and the bad seeds will stand out and be avoided. Like WoW during the early days. When community meant something.

[tardy rain]

Force people to be nice is toxic? im up that boat so xD

[lavish remnant]

Due to the serious lack of MMORPGs, as long as the gameplay is there I'd pay $70 lol

[floral pond]

Out of all the MMOs I've played, ESO seems to have the nicest community. And I can't figure out why that's the case. Maybe an older playerbase?

[maiden plume]

if the game is good enough for the price then it is what it is

[sly coral]

The game seems geared towards a casual/chill audience and that's very likely going to be reflected in the community once the game is available. Provided the devs hand the game well, I don't think toxicity will be a huge concern.

[celest maple]

No, forcing people to be nice to actually get better things at the game is toxic AF

[tardy rain]

Star Citizen player right here xDD

[tardy rain]

I didnt said "better"

[candid sky]

Idk I tank a lot and I’ve only started with dungeons and ppl are surprisingly forgiving if I mess up a mechanic

[tardy rain]

i just said "things" not better maybe just skins

[lavish remnant]

😄

[undone rover]

I don't have a lot of money as I'm 13 so I can only afford 20-40$

[candid sky]

ESO definitely has a nice community

[sly coral]

I haven't played ESO much, actually. Mostly FFXIV.

[tardy rain]

I will pay 15$ minium for respect,or atleast a donation xD

[maiden plume]

it doesn't seem like the type of game to draw out toxic people

i could be wrong though

[tardy rain]

its soo fucking hard to carry the balls these devs got

[versed ice]

Some type of season pass could be cool and bring in money as well.

[floral pond]

Yeah, I mostly play a healer and people have been nice. Compared to WoW where people immediately blame the healer or tank

[celest maple]

You said weapons right here LMAO, prohibiting player to get what they want is not a good way to get things going on and makes people lose interest in the game lol

[tardy rain]

You know theres skins right?

[versed ice]

Ex dps main, can confirm.

[restive glen]

So far this is exactly the game I’ve been looking for for years. I’ll give them all my money at this point

[lavish remnant]

If the tank dies it's the healers fault, if the healer dies it's the tanks fault, if the dps die it's their own dam fault.

[celest maple]

I better pay to get the skin stead of letting a karma system telling me if i can get it or not Lol

[candid sky]

Dps won’t stop standing in the fire🤬

[versed ice]

Lies, if I die its the tanks fault AND the healers XD

[tardy rain]

Oh no no,or the Mage AOE blame,like i instashoot in single but they want me to cast aoe LOL XD

[sly coral]

As a Healer main in FFXIV, this is the truth I live by.

[solar stratus]

this

[lavish remnant]

No, like @candid sky said, you stood in fire, that is not a buff, that is death.

[solar stratus]

esp in ffxiv

[versed ice]

But fire warm

[solar stratus]

running a dungeon as WHM rn

[undone rover]

If it's free to play I'm giving 20$ anyways

[tardy rain]

Typical tank blame when he pulls with no mana on healer or group ready "HEALER wake UP,Im leaving"

[sly coral]

Can't wait to try out Sage.

[soft geyser]

and the other dps right? 😂

[lavish remnant]

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play IN fire just play AROUND it.

[eager mica]

Community and fun are the best reasons to play ANY game. If you can't get that out your game, time to find something else. Hoping Palia does both for me

[candid sky]

That’s me whenever a boss mechanic triggers that requires me to get away from a boss sometimes I forget and just stay glued to it without realizing until my health started dinking

[lavish remnant]

whoops tagged the wrong person

[versed ice]

Not gonna lie, if the tank was an ass I'd pull and misdirect onto him.

[celest maple]

Some of the wow classic dungeons were getting kind of exciting. I started to not care if the tank died after he pulled while I had no mana

[undone rover]

Palia looks like modern rune scape though I've never personally played runescape lol

[lavish remnant]

Classic.

[versed ice]

The tank had to be a MASSIVE ass for me to do that though

[lavish remnant]

All games need misdirect, lets be real here. lol

[tardy rain]

Dude yesterday we just soloed the dung a rogue,a priest and me a mage just doing control because tank left blaming xDD

[versed ice]

Done it maybe 10 times during the whole time I ever played wow

[tardy rain]

That shit was pretty fun ngl

[celest maple]

I tried it, but the movement system was like, no ty, i'm going to get bored too soon

[lavish remnant]

Mage tank best tank. Change my mind.

[spice root]

no need

truth

[versed ice]

#shamantanks

[tardy rain]

na in retail you can even solo them but classic hits different

[spice root]

except rogue tank

[lavish remnant]

oh yes, Shaman tanks too!

[tardy rain]

Shaman? thats even a class?

[versed ice]

The neglected class

Like the middle child

[lavish remnant]

Any who, y'all have been wild, I need to go pass out, have a great rest of your weekend if I don't see some of you tomorrow/today. XD

[floral pond]

But at least shamans can turn into cute wolf things

[tardy rain]

I just think it was a cleaning personal from blizzard

He does the "now you are alive now you are not"

[solar stratus]

never played retail WoW but I see lots of people complain about BFA, guessing that's endgame content

[versed ice]

I had big hopes for shaman in shadowlands and shadowlands in general....

[tardy rain]

Hes the quiet kid from the class

[versed ice]

BFA in a nut shell

[solar stratus]

glad ffxiv Bozja is good

[versed ice]

CHAMPION!!!! HER WOONS!!!!!

[solar stratus]

we ffxiv players actually enjoy our content

[zinc plaza]

i love WoW

[short cove]

bozja is...........................................fine

[zinc plaza]

but im like a super casual, i just like all the pve content

[solar stratus]

I truly feel bad for the players who care about the game

[sly coral]

Haven't touched Bozja yet. Was on hiatus for a while.

[tardy rain]

Dude that needs a comunity to test it

[dusty cargo]

I hated BFA

[solar stratus]

funny seeing the WoW content creators try out ffxiv

[tardy rain]

Everyone did

[zinc plaza]

i buy the expansions and then get gold to pay for subs, idk its fun for me and my friends but palia is literally a pve game so i will prob like it

[tardy rain]

Like Draenors exp

[versed ice]

I got to max level in shadowlands in 2 days. Starting doing all the cov stuff and jailer stuff. Got bored by the time wall and quit

[floral pond]

shadowlands is the only expansion I haven't played in the last 6 or 7 years. Just lost that spark for WoW 😦

[cunning hollow]

you guys need to move to #🎮│other-games

[versed ice]

No u

[zinc plaza]

oh nah sorry wosnt really trying to talk about it

just the price i pay is only like $60 every 2 years, but nah im not a fan of constant expansion prices and sub prices, its so rough

[versed ice]

I'd love to see a stock market type deal.

But with crops

Like in slime rancher, one day x slime is up or down in plort worth

[zinc plaza]

i like the idea of player bartering but npc prices that change

[restive glen]

Oh that would be a cool idea

[versed ice]

Yeah, some system that isn't static

[restive glen]

I personally love farming and selling crops but I want it to feel impactful to do so

I got to a point in stardew where I was like “what’s the point in selling crops”

Cuz I had so much money.

[versed ice]

I'll be building and decor followed by (hopefully) taming creatures

[soft geyser]

at that point i would say you’ve beaten stardew

[celest maple]

Like if you go to a NPC town and sell 10k of breath, the breath price in that town will low to 1 cent(?)

[zinc plaza]

yeh

totally that

[spice root]

I like that

[versed ice]

Hey npc here's 300 carrots

[spice root]

I want to see SOMETHING other than 100% player given prices

[zinc plaza]

i only say barter for players because i just fear some sort of system where a group of players somehow game the system idk lol

[versed ice]

Npc: here's 300 copper

[minor garden]

hello all

[floral pond]

the stalk market (turnip trade) in AC was pretty cool

[minor garden]

I just saw the trailer recently and fell in love with the game

had to join the community

[zinc plaza]

^

[soft geyser]

welcome in c:

[celest maple]

Believe it or not I've done insane farming just to exploit economy in some games lol

[versed ice]

That's gonna happen anyway. I love finding ways to play the market. Like I used to in wow with ah

[versed ice]

[zinc plaza]

or if the system gets to confusing, you just make it individual just so people cant troll other people somehow

[celest maple]

And also bad farmers are just going to ruin economy in some places, like: OH LOOK, THE CARROTS HERE ARE SOLD IN 5 GOLD, I'M GOING TO DELIVER 50K OF CARROTS TO BECOME RICH!

[minor garden]

I wonder how the world is gonna work

server size, etc

[celest maple]

And then they realise that after the 100 carrot the price lowered to 1 silver each

[versed ice]

I just think it comes down to community. Making friends with people and then using that friendship where you both come out with something.

[sly coral]

I remember playing Wakfu back when it was in beta, and the economy was entirely player-run. As in the players themselves minted the currency, made up prices for items on the marketboard, and so on. It was very unique and didn't last long, but I'd be interesting seeing Palia have a system sort-of similar to that.

[zinc plaza]

i also wonder if the world would even be big? like i would be so upset if its just 1 town and a few places you can explore outside, and thats it

[minor garden]

same

[zinc plaza]

• your home

[versed ice]

Also no matter the building system, it can never be worse than Arks.

[celest maple]

Hello there, i can give you my chicken if you give me your account

[minor garden]

I love huge maps

genshin impacts map imo is way to small

[celest maple]

Like breath of the wild map?

[versed ice]

Only in exchange for cc number, exp date and code on back.

XD

[minor garden]

yeah, breath of the wild

Im curious how the land and home ownership system is gonna work

like is it you teleport to peoples lands if they invite you

[floral pond]

I love big maps too but hopefully the world in Palia will be huge and feel alive. Big, empty maps are a bit sad

[soft geyser]

isnt the genshin map supposed to get bigger eventually

[celest maple]

I can give you that if you give me your adress

i actually prefer the landscapes

[minor garden]

theres the full map version out on google if you just type like genshin interactive map

[versed ice]

We have an agreement then. (Mods pls this is joke no mad.)

[celest maple]

genshin didn't got me in that

[minor garden]

this game gives me stardew valley and genshin vibes

so far

[versed ice]

I loved the idea of genshin until you had to spend around $60 for one hero you wanted. No thx.

[velvet salmon]

Strikes me as more of a Warhammer / Doom spin.

[elder grotto]

Character death? no death, or health even

This quote above has me insanely worried about the future of this game.

[celest maple]

Cos of the trailer? Yeah but I'm aiming for the open world part

[median magnet]

Trailer looks good

[celest maple]

i wan't to go to the top of a mountain without any reason, just want to see where i'm going to go next.

[versed ice]

I'm just hoping the devs won't get sick of any building bugs i find or suggestions for it, when I get my hands on the game.

[minor garden]

I hope theres ocean exploration aswell

I want to have a boat, and invite some friends and just sail to islands

[versed ice]

Nope

Nope right off with ocean

[minor garden]

wdym

[versed ice]

I hate open water

[celest maple]

ou, that actually is going to be a big pain in the brain cos custom buildings always haves bugs

[versed ice]

Lol

[minor garden]

really? I love open water

anything that adds to exploration

[brazen bear]

how do you say the name of this game?

[tender kettle]

keep your expectation realistic, people :v

[velvet salmon]

I love sailing in games.

I get extremely nervous when swimming, even in games.

[celest maple]

I think is PEILIA, it's in their twitter tho

[patent adder]

Pay-lee-uh is the twitter video pronunciation

[versed ice]

Mhmm! And I love building non box houses.

[minor garden]

Ah, ive been pronouncing it pah-lia

[minor garden]

lol

[upper monolith]

haha jinx Milky

[celest maple]

Ah, i'm going to do my wood box house

[patent adder]

Wanna fite

[velvet salmon]

I don't think they've said anything about customizable houses.

[upper monolith]

Nah, lets team up 💪

[minor garden]

I doubt there will be significant customization in the homes

[celest maple]

Aaaaa we need the Terraria like furniture

[minor garden]

in the trailer we saw a progression of the levels

[velvet salmon]

I think you'll have cookie-cutter house options.

[versed ice]

I hope there is. Let me build my own house.

[patent adder]

I like it, alright! 😄

[celest maple]

Why is there a ice chair?

I dunno, just take it

[velvet salmon]

You'll build a house.

[minor garden]

you'll probs be able to change stuff like the paint and material of that cookie cut house design

[velvet salmon]

You just won't design it.

[minor garden]

but the actual house design remains the same throughout all people

[versed ice]

And thats one thing I hope we will get to do

[velvet salmon]

I'm sure they might give us like, 4 different house styles, maybe.

Or maybe modular sort of attachments, like roof decoration.

[celest maple]

Like presets you mean no?

[spice root]

I love player housing so much

Layouts? Im guessing

[celest maple]

For those that are not too much in to building

[velvet salmon]

Correct. House A, B, C, D, but you'll be building it from the ground up.

[versed ice]

I want full control of my house. Give me an empty lot and a way to build, piece by piece.

[celest maple]

that's actually a good thing

[velvet salmon]

Kind of like Lord of the Rings Online houses.

Just a simple prefab, you do the interior and gardening.

[spice root]

Do you thing they'll actually give an open plot of land, and you design it however you want ala ark esque style?

I don't see that happening

[velvet salmon]

Housing is instanced, that we know. We don't know in what manner it's instanced.

[minor garden]

I think each player with get the same plot

same size, etc

[celest maple]

Like, one of my friends enjoy farming, and another one like fighting, while I L O V E building and interior decoration

[versed ice]

I can hope. stares at 5k hours in ark.

[spice root]

I think the house itself will be a template as well though...

[scenic pilot]

I did not see what engine they were using. Was it unreal, unity, or an inhouse engine?

[minor garden]

Im just curious how the actual visitation of other players homes is gonna work

like if you invite another player to your house, does it teleport them to some different server for homes only

[onyx rampart]

I just saw this game through TikTok, what’s it all about?

[celest maple]

Living an imaginary life, like SIMS

[spice root]

lol right @versed ice .. It would be great if they used a style like that ... I played sooo much Ark

[scenic pilot]

Ahh cool thanks. The same one I tinker with lol.

[celest maple]

JK

[spice root]

If you've ever played Albion Online I feel that the Island system would be cool for housing..

[upper monolith]

Its an upcoming MMO, seems like it'll be almost like Stardew Valley meets BOTW, with options for exploration and different forms of non combat competitions Also, a beautiful looking game!

[versed ice]

First 1k was all official pvp. Hated it. After that started playing rp servers... the days spent building..

[onyx rampart]

Also what are the teams about in the roles channel?

[celest maple]

RP server are just cool

[zinc spindle]

Is it an free to play MMO?

[versed ice]

Well there's only one right answer, team chuu

[onyx rampart]

Can I trust you Patrick?

[celest maple]

Like RP communities

[celest maple]

Don't know yet

[elfin scarab]

I'll talk to you guys tomorrow have a goodnight everyone

[upper monolith]

I think its just different names for one of the in-game critters 😄

[celest maple]

Just go Chuu, is your only religion

[versed ice]

My biggest gripe.. Tree house platforms had no snap points on the edges. WHY!

[zinc spindle]

Oh dang hopefully its a free to play game 😋

[spice root]

Chapaa for eva

[celest maple]

TY have a good night

Yeah imma head to bed, you guys have a great night ✌🏻💖

[velvet salmon]

Stardew / Breath of the Wild / Sims / Minecraft, set in a player-driven crafting and artisinal economy, hunting wild game, growing crops, but no detailed means of PvP beyond some competitive aspects (think, fishing tournament). It's still very much in development. It's primarily geared for socializing and in a relatively peaceful world.

[celest maple]

Wait, that illegal

[velvet salmon]

And the gal in the trailer looks great in leggings, which is a good sign for character customization.

[scenic pilot]

Well its either going to be a subscription base or a shop based one. They have to make a living 🙂

[zinc plaza]

I am interested in what we can build if we can

[celest maple]

Oh right, the limits tho

[zinc spindle]

😫 👍

[celest maple]

I don't want to see pp's everywhere i go

[minor garden]

I think the clothes of the characters, and the hair styles, face styles, etc will be customizable

But I dont think stuff like weight will occur to the models

[thin venture]

i hope there will be bunny slippers

[zinc plaza]

they said there is like 2 types of body but i assume there will be dozens more options

[minor garden]

ah, from the trailer it only looked like 1 body type

[earnest relic]

Hi there, newcomer here 👀

[clear wraith]

According to what's been said so far, 2 body types are just the start

[zinc plaza]

from what i saw in the FAQ thing yeh

[upper monolith]

hello, welcome!

[celest maple]

Welcome

[opaque furnace]

i want to have the body of a train

[clear wraith]

And there'll be tons of customization options on top of those 2 body types

[celest maple]

Seems fair enough

[upper monolith]

I dont think we know, you might get an answer in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha though!

[earnest relic]

Just heard about that game yesterday and I'm surprised i never heard of it before.

[upper monolith]

All the info I know of is just from what can be found on their website or the trailer really

[clear wraith]

It was only announced a couple days ago!

[upper monolith]

Yeah I think like 1-2 days? So you're still right on time Mykro!

[earnest relic]

Oooh ok that explain a lot

[upper monolith]

Crazy how fast this discord server blew up though! 50k in 2 days

[fringe minnow]

Wait, already 50k? Noicee

[celest maple]

Meet the community, there's some nice people around

[clear wraith]

Useful info for all, this is the collected tidbits of information that's been shared in the #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel over the past couple days: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit#heading=h.pssv3e5esybr

[wispy seal]

Hopefully it picks up steam.

[fringe minnow]

[earnest relic]

Ngl found out about it with Asmongold vid

[upper monolith]

Oh thats a great resource, thanks Chickadee

[scenic pilot]

People are hungry for an MMO that is different.

[zinc plaza]

the trailer just made me think of all the people who like the sims, stardew and feel casual, and the people who hate combat stuff, will flock to this in droves

[narrow mason]

Just joined. Very excited to learn more about this game! The potential to be what I have been looking for in a game is there!!

[celest maple]

We need an actual open world MMO

[earnest relic]

Yeah

[upper monolith]

Agree! I'm interested in it because it doesnt seem like your typical mmo

[clear wraith]

I am extremely hype for it

[heavy wharf]

I do feel a lot of gamers crave to a somewhat calmer gaming (me included) or it's just age.. but this seems right what I need.

[minor garden]

I saw the trailer in my catered newsfeed in the gaming section

[upper monolith]

I also play Sky which is another peaceful MMO

[clear wraith]

And in the past couple days, this community has grown very fast and been very positive and welcoming. It's been a delight to be here. ❤️

[minor garden]

It was an article like "games related to stardew valley coming out soon"

[celest maple]

Like, you're able to do whatever you can from the binging! Even skiping the tutorial

[earnest relic]

Tbh, even though I like fighting, being able to chill out and just do your own thing is gold

[upper monolith]

But I love the open world aspect teased for palia 👀 and the characters/environment look so good

[minor garden]

I wouldn't mind some basic fighting like in genshin, stardew, or the rune factory series

[midnight radish]

Yeah a chill gaming experience is exactly what I need. Especially after this past year or two.

[sly coral]

Open World is extremely hard to pull off competently, though. Easy to fail at it and make the world itself feel dead.

[earnest relic]

The art style kinda made me thought about Wildstar, anyone felt the same?

[wispy seal]

Sounds like any sort of adventuring will be by choice.

[minor garden]

I feel like too small of a map for a game like this is gonna make the game feel forced and linear

[clear wraith]

Yeah definitely. And there's a lot of former Wildstar people in here already!

[versed ice]

I think age. When I was a teen it was about fps and adding to Xbox live cod voice chat. But now with being a year away from 30? I want chill with exicment, not rage.

[upper monolith]

What will probably happen is the map may start small but can expand over time, so I'm not too worried

[earnest relic]

👀 all hail the Dominion, and the Mecharis

[celest maple]

I know, but hey, at least the devs seem to be aiming to listen the community instead of realizing something without testers

[minor garden]

I hope updates unlock new biome areas of the maps in the future

[clear wraith]

Former Space Lizard over here!

[versed ice]

Chubby hampster here!

[scenic pilot]

Well off to tinker with my own game project. Have a good night.

[earnest relic]

Engineer Mechari here

[celest maple]

I actually hate the part of: you can't enter this zone bc you don't have this expansion. Or, your player level is 20, but your Equipment is lvl 8, go and farm harder!!

[wispy seal]

Real time atmosphere would be cool. Along with festivities and seasons.

[upper monolith]

Goodnight Tyevic!

[versed ice]

With the talent on the dev team and their backgrounds. Failing at open world will be hard to do. Or so I choose to believe

[heavy wharf]

For me it's mainly the fact that my toddlers make me too tired to really find the energy for intensve gaming 😄 Yes I guess age is definitely a part of that:D

[clear wraith]

Seasons I don't think we're sure of yet, but the devs have said weather will definitely be A Thing

[celest maple]

Same

[minor garden]

What are the devs backgrounds, any notable games or studios they come from? Or are they all indie self taught

[versed ice]

Blizzard, riot games, etc

[celest maple]

As far as I know, they come from Blizzard, Riot and Epic

[floral pond]

big name game studios

[celest maple]

dynamic weather would be nice. You made the best house and then a cyclone comes around and rips the whole town apart.

[brazen harness]

Is there gonna be a combat?

[minor garden]

I can see the Blizzard studios handiwork in this game

[ashen chasm]

Also rather worryingly Zynga the FarmVille company

[thin venture]

uh oh

[celest maple]

That will be cool, while the houses doesn't get absolutely destroyed, that sucks

[tiny drum]

hi

[versed ice]

Ooo dynamic weather

[minor garden]

I hope they make festivals revolving irl holidays aswell

[ashen chasm]

Feelsbadman

[minor garden]

Like october the world is all spooky

[fallen sun]

Implying the team is staffed by Zynga's management team

[earnest relic]

Yeah same. I actually play a game some of you heard about already, a mobile one, Punishing geay raven, and I like the fact that thzy just say "we recommend this power level, but try of you want" because mostly only skill matters.

Here, I feel like just being able to chill out and growings crops can have same excitment as slaying monsters so... thats awesole

Awesome*

[wispy seal]

Kind of like in WOW.

[celest maple]

Aw yesss, events in the main town with decorations

[versed ice]

I'd be surprised if we didn't get something like that @minor garden

[minor garden]

Im sure we will, I hope its a healthy mix of fantasy made up festivals around the games lore

and then festivals revolving irl holidays

[ashen chasm]

Hopefully their own holidays. Sick of not quite Christmas events

[fallen sun]

I did rather enjoy WoW's 'Children's week'

[versed ice]

Oct rolls around, town spookified.

[upper monolith]

I'd like it to be filtered through the Palia-universe though, so its not a 1:1 equivalent of our real world holidays. Could be cool to see what a palia-verse version of our holidays would be 😄

[thin venture]

i just realised something after the farmville comment, does that mean the neighbourhoods are essentially just instances of the same town and game world rather than the game being a bigger open world with multiple towns?

[velvet salmon]

I feel like if you're going to do a not-a-real-holiday, it should be distinct enough from the real thing.

[ashen chasm]

I only bother with the Runescape events tbh

[earnest relic]

Btw do we know anything about the "theme" of the game? Is it full fantasy, or is there some elements of steampunk, futuristic and such?

[minor garden]

Obviously we wont have christmas distinct, itll be something along the lines like "Winter festival"

[wispy seal]

Onion O' Lanterns?

[versed ice]

Brewfest was a specific love of mine

[celest maple]

Well as a Lore Master here, I like worlds to take their stories seriously, and not something like: Well this is Santa, but named Xanta Clause, with the same design as the IRL one to our players to recognize him

[ashen chasm]

Don't read too far in to it my dude. Live in ignorance the time to panic will come

[minor garden]

I wonder if there will be like a religious lore component to the game

[ashen chasm]

I 100% agree

[minor garden]

Like if theres a goddess

or some sort of entity

[celest maple]

Lore we need indeed

[fallen sun]

Make it take after the Japanese christmas, where we inexplicably celebrate via the medium of KFC

[prime trout]

Yea true

[prime trout]

Hahaha

[ashen chasm]

Could see there being some ambiguously referenced elvern goddess or faux paganism. I think if they base it off of an abrahamic religion it could for better or worse open a can of worms

[versed ice]

Read that in yodas voice

[earnest relic]

Btw do we know anything about the "theme" of the game? Is it full fantasy, or is there some elements of steampunk, futuristic and such? 👀

[minor garden]

The only steam punk component ive seen so far is the robot

[thin venture]

there's robots, elves and purple humans, figure it out

[celest maple]

You have my respect

[velvet salmon]

Bit of magic steampunk, we have a robot.

[upper monolith]

hah! I love it. I think I saw another game use turnips once?

[velvet salmon]

Another character has a prosthetic eye thing.

[earnest relic]

Askinf because I LOVE steampunk so bad

[celest maple]

Seems more like arkana, magic powered machines

[fallen sun]

Cottagepunk

[velvet salmon]

Sure, call it whatever you want.

[celest maple]

What's great too

[velvet salmon]

Magitech.

[latent timber]

cottagecore heaven

[earnest relic]

https://tenor.com/view/culture-man-of-culture-cultured-gif-10903367

[celest maple]

Fancynamepunk

[versed ice]

Golemancy

[latent timber]

I want to be Einar's best friend

[wispy seal]

Oooo I hope a magic system is included.

[fringe minnow]

This is the way

[ashen chasm]

Fingers crossed low magic and/or Gandalf looking wizard cosmetics

[velvet salmon]

I want a magic musket instead of a bow and arrow to hunt with.

[fallen sun]

Im holding out for the possibility of a support class

[latent timber]

I looove bows

[wispy seal]

I need a pointy hat.

[velvet salmon]

So I can equip my magic bayonet when I miss by 5 meters and blow a bowling-ball sized hole in a nearby tree instead of the target.

[fallen sun]

because i'm both basic, and enjoy feeling superior to others

[celest maple]

Better hooks

[ashen chasm]

And the loose fitting robes. Like no games have that it seems

[celest maple]

Step on me then (jk)

[versed ice]

I wonder what tip of the hat they will hide in the game

[wispy seal]

That and a cool gnarled staff.

[ashen chasm]

Really that and farming is all I need in a game

[celest maple]

I also need a full customization system. Not like hat, eyes, chest and hands. I need to put many rings in my hands as I want

[wispy seal]

MAGIC rings.

[ashen chasm]

They should try get an ex Bethesda dev for customisation

[dusty wigeon]

Heard about the game and immediately joined the discord. Super excited

[celest maple]

Steal him from Microsoft hands haha

[upper monolith]

Welcome Evanko!

[celest maple]

Very welcome to the especulation party

[upper monolith]

It's pretty cozy here so far, hope you enjoy

[versed ice]

PIERCINGS, TATTOOS

[radiant parcel]

I'm so hyped for the game to come out

[ashen chasm]

Kind of hoping minimum combat. I'm sick of dungeon spam and I feel like the nature of this game will attract very few tanks if they do the holy Trinity

[versed ice]

Beard customization!

[ashen chasm]

Yes

[sullen hollow]

Just saw this from a PC Gamer article. This game sounds amazing :)

[spice root]

I feel like no holy trin with 4 man groups

[upper monolith]

Welcome Avrilmoon!

[celest maple]

Oh yeah, I would like to full my ears with piercings since I can't IRL

[quaint kernel]

Welcome 🙂

[versed ice]

Biggest thing i see in art all the time are goblins with ear ladders or gages. In games though? Nope. >:(

[raven tusk]

Hi :3
