now tell me more about this dragging and... is there cliffs...?

for no particular reasoning

[patent adder]

I'll trade you three carrots for one watermelon

[radiant zenith]

I had the greatest scroll shop outside of Magincia back in Ultima Online 🙂

[soft bane]

In genshin my i have my motherboards farming coins for me. But its genshin haha

[long bluff]

Destiny 2 has two player emotes

[glacial fjord]

i wonder how they will do the building system. i hope it will be big picture in a way like sims. able to move objects around as such. the sims community might be angry with the game play, but they did the building right

[long bluff]

Guild wars has sync dance

[gritty veldt]

throw in a box of strawberries and we have a deal

[half granite]

Sorry, I don't really get your question
Yes, we hold their hand so their character follows ours without them needing to move at all

[bright hornet]

haha YEET

[patent dust]

if the trading system is like other games where you can just trade items for currency, i will be hoarding cabbages and i will buy them at a premium

[glacial fjord]

cabbages, why cabbages

[cyan basin]

because they play too much skyrim

[patent dust]

cause cabbages are nice :)

[cyan basin]

same with the guys talking about smuggling cheese

[patent dust]

runescape, actually

[wooden widget]

Its alright, it was just a little haha funni

[bright hornet]

cabbatsu cabbatsu cabbatsu

[gritty veldt]

they said it’s goign to be “different” so who knows

[soft bane]

That is nothing new. New will be have no money and just itens, them players will pick some useless item and make it as coins. Omegalul. That would be great.

[crisp shadow]

This makes me think of the Skyrim pics of thousands of cheese wheels.

[gritty veldt]

LETTUCEU LETTUCEU LETTUCEUUUUU

[zinc plaza]

i know it may not be a big thing but, i do like their approach to gender fluidity, i just get the feeling the game is going to have a pleasant social environment 🙂 (and hopefully less trolls 😛 )

[bright hornet]

Thaaaaank you :P

[gritty veldt]

i got u

[glacial fjord]

onions in my swamp 🧅

[bright hornet]

Was that the deepest Shrek metaphor ever or what

[patent dust]

reminds me of this commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6tSyDHXViM

[cyan basin]

One of the reasons I sent this info to my youngest son and his boyfriend, they were so happy to see a mainstream game not homophobic

all the clothes and hairstyles will be available to all characters, too

[glacial fjord]

thats awesome

[gritty veldt]

IM CRYING THE BISHOUNEN FACE FJDKKDKD

[clear wraith]

Naw I'm totally cis but I love games that let you get away from the gender binary and conventional attractiveness standards if that's your jam.

Diversity am good!

[patent dust]

unfortunately there will always be trolls :/ however, with the system in place, you will be able to remove them entirely and never see them again ;)

[cyan basin]

Total ally here, too. I will fight to the death for my youngest to have the right to exist.

[half granite]

Like even more "gendered" clothes, like I dunno... bride dress-
That's interesting, never heard of this approach

[soft bane]

But on pre-alpha will only have humans. Haha Joking

[radiant zenith]

make sure you make good use of that /block command if someone is griefing you, don't need that kind of negativity in your life

[cyan basin]

I want to run through fields of flowers....and not sneeze

[patent dust]

i have a friend in gw2 that if he opens up his block list, his game will crash. hes blocked so many people. he was also a pvp player, so that didnt help

[clear wraith]

Animal crossing is like that. You can totally run around in a luxurious beard and ruffly pink dress and nobody will stop you.

[zinc plaza]

im trans so its pretty cool to be able to make a character that matches what i look like

its like a blend of different features haha

[patent dust]

same!

[glacial fjord]

sims is too

[cyan basin]

<hug>

[radiant zenith]

a world without allergies, truly paradise

[half granite]

Wait you can?! How long was the last time I saw it-

[bright hornet]

I can hop through a field of flowers! Runnings a lil difficult :P

[soft bane]

Good that will dont have pvp in this games. I turn into a demon in pvp. Phisocolgial is a good weapon angaist oponentes and i use it a loot. what cause me to get a lot of muted chats and blocks haha. xD

[cyan basin]

not sneezing is important, but being able to run would be nice too, lol

[gritty veldt]

wanna roll down a hill into a field of flowers

[spice wyvern]

why run when you can glide

[half granite]

I'm male but I have long hair, so being able to have a long ponytail of sorts might be interesting once in a while

[gritty veldt]

TRUE

[bright hornet]

get me a glider plz :P

[soft bane]

Why gliding when you can Fast Travel.

[gritty veldt]

what color

[wooden widget]

Cant Fast Travel whilst in Combat panic

[bright hornet]

Black with hot pink trim

[clear wraith]

Also it's been a few hours since I said it so: birbs pls

[cyan basin]

hello kitty goth

[soft bane]

Combat panic? LoL

[bright hornet]

I need this in my life...

[wooden widget]

meant to represent feeling when the game so far dont have "that stressful atmosphere"

[gritty veldt]

excellent choice

[cyan basin]

it is actually a thing, I had some co-workers who had that aesthetic

[bright hornet]

:O Amazing

[sharp hatch]

I tried to fill the survery out on the website but it brought me to an error page 🙁

[soft bane]

Gona go guys, good night for all

[gritty veldt]

gn!

[cyan basin]

reboot and try again, they match it up to your email address

[sturdy totem]

Hello! I was just trying to fill out the survey for the pre-alpha and it opened to an Internal Error. Is there another way I can complete this survey?

[cyan basin]

Someone else JUST had this issue

[dreamy python]

Try refreshing a few times

I just had that same issue, refreshed a few times, and it worked

[cyan basin]

Give it a few minutes, reboot, try again

[cosmic shadow]

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevFJ-ewBjdu6lzcboVNtWflR2ISuuHyhMpuH1CfprWuLaQFA/viewform this should be the survey

[sturdy totem]

Hahaha I see that now 😛 I will try 🙂

[cosmic shadow]

had that problem happen to a firend

[sturdy totem]

That link worked! Thank you Velocity!

[cyan basin]

it matches up your email address, so you don't have to do it right away

[cosmic shadow]

yup

[cyan basin]

I noticed that on the survey, they don't have Star Wars Galaxies as one of the game options, this made me sad

[faint zodiac]

pipe

[bright hornet]

Anyone else hit Valheim, Stardew and Harvest Moon? XD

[tardy karma]

Not supposed to get a confirmation email after signing up right?

[cyan basin]

Correct

[clear wraith]

Nah

[crisp shadow]

No confirmation.

[gritty veldt]

i ain’t gonna lie ive only played three games on the list so those were my three lol but i do really enjoy sdv and genshin despite the pain that comes with it

[clear wraith]

I kinda wish they did just so I had the peace of mind knowing I didn't rob myself of a pre-alpha chance with a typo.

[cosmic shadow]

wait so is the pre alpha out rn? or we still waiting on it. I just signed up an hour ago

[crisp shadow]

When you set up an in-game avatar do you usually try to make it look like you, or totally different?

[cyan basin]

waiting

[clear wraith]

Pre alpha probably a few weeks out yet

[gritty veldt]

this is just applying for prealpha, it’s not out yet

[cyan basin]

Soon *tm

[sonic jolt]

i was a bit surprised that apex legends was on the list to be honest, i thought the only game communities they were looking for were Sim-games and general working games

[bright hornet]

Like where was Kingdom Hearts? :P

[cosmic shadow]

as long as its during summer vacation im ahappy camper

[bright hornet]

warzone too like...wut XD

[sonic jolt]

yeah really didnt expect FPS games to show up lol

[gritty veldt]

,,, valorant,,,,

i thought that one was on the list tho bc riot

[bright hornet]

Oh...that makes sense

[gritty veldt]

Riot Gaymz™️

[sonic jolt]

i wonder how they expect results of tastes to go out between the different game communities tbh

[dreamy magnet]

1

[cyan basin]

They probably want to gauge the response for more traditional combat games, if they would be interested in a chill non pvp game

[proven lichen]

Literally if I manage to get picked for prealpha, my summer break is right around the corner and I will play literally all the time

[bright hornet]

Yes. All of the yes.

[sonic jolt]

like what parts of a relaxing and community driven game game will be liked by FPS players or tactical shooter communities

[cosmic shadow]

lmao im willing to spend my life away to growing tomatos in this game

[cyan basin]

People who like those and want a change of pace

[bright hornet]

If we can grow watermelon, 10/10 best game ever.

[sonic jolt]

@cyan basinmeant what parts of said game will they like over other parts of the game

[proven lichen]

I don't really understand, but I do

[sonic jolt]

cause with different communities comes different tastes

[clear wraith]

Some people might like both!

[hard dirge]

Just cause I play valorant 24/7 doesnt mean i dont like other types of games

[cosmic shadow]

well actually, im really down for the fishing

[clear wraith]

It's OK to enjoy a variety of game experiences

[hard dirge]

I go through phases where i play a ton of harvest moon

[real kestrel]

Uh, as someone who’s played FPS games competitively, this game is PERFECT for a change of pace.

[cyan basin]

yeah, that part I can't help you with, I don't do pvp, my hands just won't take the strain

[sonic jolt]

yall are misunderstanding what im saying

[cyan basin]

ahhh, wrong person, sorry

I was replying to Ombie

[bright hornet]

I'm gonna spend an unhealthy amount of time on this game. Interventions will be called, rehab will be discussed. But it shall. Be. Worth. It.

[proven lichen]

Lmao I was like watermelon?

[blazing night]

Salutations

[bright hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/marlon-webb-marlon-webb-water-melon-gif-17706721

[sonic jolt]

kind of like what i mean is if fps players will like house building over gardening, or exploration over npc friendship

what parts of the game will they favor over other parts

[bright hornet]

I just love the watermelon guy. He's so happy with his watermelon.

[clear wraith]

Okay I had to go dig it up! On the Unofficial FAQ over in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha , they've got this line:
Diversity? We're figuring this out. Honestly we're trying to get a mix of different people in this iteration of testing. So some will be fans of this game or that game, some will be solo players, some we'll want to bring their friends. So the answer is actually: some might be allowed to bring in friends.

[cyan basin]

That's going to depend on the player. I used to play SWG and some of the most fanatic pilots and PVPers were also insane about decorating their houses

[novel plank]

im so beyond excited for when more teasers come out for this game 😭

[cosmic shadow]

maybe there will be like dungeons or monsters or something that people can take their fps energy out on

[proven lichen]

Also I want to know why the discord clown was made to actively instill claurophobia into each and every person

[clear wraith]

Maybe that helps understand why they offered a lot of choices on their survey

[patent adder]

What 🥺

[wanton relic]

Hello

[proven lichen]

Like 🤡

[bright hornet]

Thank you. really appreciated it. XD Screw clowns.

[serene crystal]

clowns really go honk honk

[patent dust]

sorry, what was it? i may be able to help :)

[crisp shadow]

They said (eventually) you'll be able to fight monsters, but only if you want to.

[proven lichen]

Like standard phone clown emoji? Conveys that I am a clown who is dumb. The discord clown? Hello I am here to instill fear and fear only

[bright hornet]

man I ordered a sprite, all I got was this clown juice

[serene crystal]

honka honka

[undone rover]

Sprite is just tasty carbonated water

[serene crystal]

TV static

[bright hornet]

Yo is that an ashdog/grizzy quote or am i reading too much into it

[bright hornet]

dammit you're right...

[proven lichen]

Wait is this supposed to be in #💬│off-topic-chat? I think I'm.... A clown

[patent dust]

"Combat? We're not ready to get into detail on this yet, but we'll have both combat like systems, such as Hunting, and eventually more traditional combat. Like most of our skills, you'll be able to choose your level of participation in it"

[serene crystal]

nah, reading too much into it haha

[bright hornet]

Damn.

[patent adder]

In sure it'll be okay 😜

[serene crystal]

lol It happens

[patent dust]

you think a single channel in this discord is on the topic of the channel at all times? pffft lol

[undone rover]

Off topic is Palia's discord basement tbh

[mild sky]

Haii

[bright hornet]

I belong there :3

[patent adder]

Ain't that the truth

[patent adder]

Hey friend ☺️

[lunar coyote]

yea let's talk about Pandas

[crisp shadow]

How about llamas?

[patent dust]

i only like ask the team channel to stay on topic cause answering questions with a 1 minute slowmode is such a pain if theres other conversations happening, and then we miss questions

[patent adder]

Baby goats are a must ☺️

[proven zephyr]

Baby goats are so cute

[opaque furnace]

very tasty

[mild sky]

I just heard about the game today from a different server, to say I am hyped would be an understatement lol

[patent adder]

That's why I have goat gif as picture ☺️

[patent adder]

Welcome to the club. 😄

[celest maple]

😊

[patent adder]

😊 right back at you!

[proven zephyr]

I just complete the google forms because i am so excited to get the alpha access, I am in love with the game

With the trailers of the game*

[patent adder]

Heck yeah, hopefully you get that invite! 😄

[crisp shadow]

Well, it's a new day here, so I guess it's time to run off to bed...

[dry yew]

Hi

[patent adder]

Sleep well, l8r!

Saaaame. Hopefully we both get in!

I'm good, how are you doin?

Never tell me the odds...

I'm doing pretty well, just vibing to music right now :D

[hybrid wadi]

Hello guys, greetings from Brazil!

[celest maple]

doing final papers while vibing to some lofi. 👌

[patent adder]

That's the good stuff. I'm at work but.. doing the same thing 😆

[patent adder]

Hello! ☺️

[faint dawn]

I was having a bit of a mental trying to figure out how a Yakmoo's feet looks like.. if they looked Yak like.. or something else because everything in Palia always has some strange oddity from it's IRL counterpart...

[mild sky]

Hello and welcome 😄

[obsidian crypt]

@hybrid wadi welcome friend

[patent adder]

The truth is in the stump.

[bright hornet]

Leave my stump outta this :P

[abstract tusk]

The artist is on social media. 😉

[amber zinc]

Guys. I found my keyboard!

[celest maple]

Just watched the trailer and found out about the alpha. This seems to be the first game in a while I'm looking forward to.

[amber zinc]

The razer anansi is just such a beautiful piece of machinery

[celest maple]

congrats @amber zinc !

[patent adder]

Awwh that's good. Welcome to the server and hopefully you have fun ☺️

[cyan basin]

Welcome

[hybrid wadi]

how did u lose it?

[celest maple]

Thanks @patent adder !

[amber zinc]

Well I moved a state over and 300+ miles south

[junior light]

Hello

🙂

[amber zinc]

So it was packed... In boxes...

[patent adder]

Hey! 😄

[faint dawn]

I DONT HAVE TWITTER OR A FACEBOOK...
I tend to stay away from those things because reasons..

[bright hornet]

Relateable

[hybrid wadi]

makes sense

oops

[cyan basin]

We recommend to new people that you read the FAQ, then the sticky post in 'Ask the Team' then watch the trailer again a couple of times. This is the fastest way to get information. Then you can come here and mindlessly speculate with the rest of us

[mild sky]

Same for me! Last game I was hyped for was Overwatch which is now 5 years old so.. 😅

[patent adder]

Of course saying hello makes sense! 😉 Teasing

[cyan basin]

you don't need a twitter account to look at twitter

[amber zinc]

I mean social media is notoriously toxic so it's probably a good thing you stay away from them. I too have zero social media presence

[hybrid wadi]

haha i tagged the wrong message

[celest maple]

username checks out

[hybrid wadi]

sorry

[bright hornet]

Funny aintcha :P

[patent adder]

I'm in the same boat ⛵

[patent adder]

I try, I try. Thank you 🤣

[junior light]

I have twitter because... men...

[hybrid wadi]

do u guys have instagram?

[patent adder]

Nop

[bright hornet]

nopers

[celest maple]

@mild sky It seems lie a relaxed, low pressure, environment with room to explore 🙂

[hybrid wadi]

here in brazil, instagram is the most used social app

more than snapchat or anything

[faint dawn]

What's sad is my degree and potential jobs revolve around them. But I'd rather make professional posts for a company than to create my own.. as I also have absolutely nothing interesting going on about me xD

[patent adder]

I dunno about that. You seem interesting to me! 😄

[faint dawn]

Nah

[patent adder]

Uh yah.

[faint dawn]

Also, who is this... artist o3o

[spice wyvern]

:0

[faint dawn]

how can i find them?

[cyan basin]

check in the 'meet the team' I think he posted there. I don't know what his twitter handle would be, I just meant that I don't have twitter, but check several people's posts anyway

[patent adder]

@cyan basin@abstract tusk Much Thanks :3

[celest maple]

Hello @warm lion !

[fringe minnow]

I wanna make, but they're apparently too heavy for discord

[patent adder]

I have some from a different discord

[amber zinc]

oh man

[patent adder]

You'll get along with me at the very least, but I'm sure you'll be fine! ☺️

[idle bronze]

Hello!

[patent adder]

Hullo!

[fringe minnow]

Hoi

[amber zinc]

it's been a year since i've plugged this keyboard in and just typing out messages to ya'll gives me chills of nostalgia. I absolutely love this keyboard, it's served me faithfully for years and really can't see myself ever using another.

even if it's in a slightly awkward position because i have it hooked up to my laptop xD

[patent adder]

After using a Corsair K70 I can never go back

[patent adder]

Oh hullo😄

[faint dawn]

Yakmoo art is limited to 2 images.. but I think what I got is fine...

[final grail]

i have my kbd parts coming

[amber zinc]

i've heard good things about the K70, is it really that amazing? they discontinued the razer anansi and i'm just super sad that if this one does somehow die i can never get another

[final grail]

in tomorrow

i hit send message before i FINISHED

im so excited 😩

[faint dawn]

can relate

[patent adder]

In my opinion yeah, I love my k70. I've had no issues with it in years. I'm almost positive it'll be the one I buy again if something does end up happening

[patent adder]

Can't contain your excitement

[amber zinc]

if this one does die i've pretty much already decided i'll buy a corsair keyboard. they seem good and i've heard lots of good things

[final grail]

i was in the dark about when it was coming in for like 4 days and i almost lost my mind

[patent adder]

Personally I think you won't regret! 😄

[amber zinc]

lol apparently i need to install razer synapse 2.0 because the anansi is a "legacy device" 😆

[patent adder]

What is a kdb? 😅 I want to be more excited for you!

[amber zinc]

i wonder what they would think about my original razer naga epic...

[celest maple]

@amber zinc I haven't tried the Anansi but I just got the razer huntsman today and It's really nice so far.

[final grail]

kbdfans.com is a mechanical keyboard parts website

[faint dawn]

Me with a laptop keyboard and a 10$ mouse. "Nevermind, can't relate."

Im excited about Palia controller support tho...

[patent adder]

Oh awesome. Hopefully it's as good as you wanted!

[amber zinc]

lol anastasia. i LOVE the anansi partially because of the extra spacing between the keys (i have big hands and tend to fat finger) but also because of the 12 extra macro keys you get which make playing MMOs a breeze.

[celest maple]

@faint dawn do we know which controllers the game will support?

[spark helm]

I hope they support my guitar hero controller

[faint dawn]

Most controllers are sorta similar...

[patent adder]

My dk bongos 😆

[lament citrus]

So excited for the game, got all my friends to sign up for Alpha. Hoping for a 50% acceptance rate

[spark helm]

My DDR dance mat

[patent adder]

My boy 😄 hullo

[spark helm]

[faint dawn]

Even FFXIV does both PS4 Controller and Xbox...

[spark helm]

Okay physio time brb

[amber zinc]

my setup was kinda weird for a time. my keyboard is the razer anansi, my mouse was the logitech G402, and my audio system was the HyperX cloud revolver

[faint dawn]

I got an xbox PC controller. So when controller support is ready I'll be there..

[patent adder]

Hopefully! Not sure how many people are going to get in

[amber zinc]

i need a new controller since my steam controller broke and they stopped selling them because legal issues. what would you recommend now that i've been more or less conditioned to using the steam controller via massive amounts of time playing dark souls

[brisk ivy]

I like keyboards the best. Super fast to type up something and then switch back to movement controls.

[patent adder]

My favorite controller is the switch pro controller. Granted ive not used new Xbox controllers 😅

[amber zinc]

i'm a PC gamer through and through. But for some games, such as dark souls. using a controller is much easir

[novel plank]

Switch pro controller feels so nice compared to playstation

[patent adder]

Yeah, that's how I feel too.

[rare plank]

Hello all. I had a question: for the Roles section, what is a Chapaa or a Chuu?

[celest maple]

Agreed, I like the Switch Pro over the Xbox Elite controller

[patent adder]

The switch controller connects to pc no problem, steam even has support for it

[novel plank]

I used to play genshin on PS4 but it’s 10000x easier on PC

[faint dawn]

You'd probably need to adjust no matter what.. I had to "Unlearn" keyboard.. if that makes sense..
Idk if PS controlllers work on PC?...

[bright hornet]

PS work with the adapter perfectly :3

[faint dawn]

ah yeah

[bright hornet]

PS5 however.... needs DS4

[faint dawn]

Xbox makes them as USBs anyways or blutooth..

if your PC does blutooth

[glacial tide]

PS4 controllers work just fine

[bright hornet]

Yeah im a big fan of the ease of access with an xbox controller, but i prefer the shape and size of the p5

[hybrid hill]

FWIW, I use PS3 controllers as well

[distant oar]

[faint dawn]

Only time I refused to use controller was genshin.. when A was Cancel and B was select.. It MESSED WITH ME BAD...

[patent adder]

Oh heck yeah

[bright hornet]

the seething rage I felt at that.

[hybrid hill]

That just hurt to read

[patent dust]

controller support is definitely planned! for now, if you have a steam controller that will work with the game.

[bright hornet]

A/Cross is confirm and B/Circle is back. Grr. :P

[faint dawn]

I kept trying to press A and it was closing everything and I was liek "AHHH NOO" Because the PS controller is A is where X is.. and B is where O is.. and Genshin was programed with only PS in mind..

[bright hornet]

OH It wasn't just backwards? I thought it was one of those games where Circle/B was confirm hahahaha

[hybrid hill]

Same hahaha

[celest maple]

@patent dust Thanks 🙂

Good morning lads and gents

[faint dawn]

Circle was confirm.. but you couldn't change it around at the time Idk if you can now..

So B was confirm and A was cancel

[patent adder]

Hullo! 😄

[dapper geyser]

Hello

[celest maple]

How are everyone?

[amber zinc]

i mean this is why PC is always nice, keyboards and mice have so much more functionality than controllers ever will

[woven edge]

Helloo

[bright hornet]

yeeeesh. That was my reaction to playing japanese versions of games, like kingdom hearts final mix etc. Suddenly Attack and Jump were switched

[faint dawn]

controller is nice though.. I couldn't play ffxiv without it.. otherwise I'd resort to being a "Clicker"

[celest maple]

Is there a story behind the Chuu and Chapaa roles?

[faint dawn]

I don't think Palia will be very intensive and controller will likely to feel very comfy...

[patent adder]

I'm good, just chilling till work is over! How are you?

[celest maple]

Hust chilling on my way to work

[patent dust]

chapaa is the name of the little squirrel like creatures from the trailer, chuu is the nickname the community gave them and theres been playful arguments over which is a better name

[bright hornet]

Ooooh.... Now I get it

[plush sleet]

Palia poggers let’s just hope the game has a good economy😂

[celest maple]

@patent dust Oh, interesting 🙂

Chuu is also a Sound of a kiss on a cheek uwu

[plush sleet]

[idle bronze]

chuuwu? missed opportunity

[brisk ivy]

When I played Animal Crossing, I had a keyboard switch going into my Nintendo Switch, so I could drop my controller to type messages to people I was playing with.

[past coral]

Just woke up. Now getting ready for school, eating breakfast etc.

[celest maple]

Enjoy your meal

[brisk ivy]

I don't know if I'd want to play a chill social game with a controller if I could use a keyboard.

[plush sleet]

I love the church

[patent dust]

you can blame neleimour for the chapaa vs chuu debacle ;p

[plush sleet]

Chuu

[patent adder]

Hopefully you have a great day! 😄

man it's gonna be interesting having this be a chill social game AND an MMO. i'm going to have to unlearn literally everything i've ever learned about MMOs

[plush sleet]

I haven’t played many mmo open world games so I’m good

Other than mc

[faint dawn]

typing with a remote on a TV or a controller is PAIN..

[devout cave]

honestly part of what im most excited for, even if this doesnt pan out to my expectations, it's just nice to see people pushing the bounds of what mmo has to mean by concept

[plush sleet]

I’m excited for a non shooter mmo

[amber zinc]

i'm that guy who grinds like a korean player to the point where when i was younger and had more dexterity in my feet i used to play two characters at once so i could finished quests and whatnot faster.

[plush sleet]

Wow

[amber zinc]

it worked so long as you weren't doing anything stupidly complex, and usually meant rebinding a bunch of keys

[faint dawn]

im excited about an MMO... where you can be a complete Pacifist.. No hunting.. no killing... just you... and your swamp.

[celest maple]

Im hyped to play the game

[amber zinc]

but right/left click on a mouse were easy enough and pressing 3-4 buttons that were bound as macros to different abilities

[plush sleet]

Same I’m gonna become a combat fisherman and just do dungeons and fishing

[celest maple]

Sooo i need to go... Se ya later folks

[mild talon]

Saw a video that said you can't die.

So I would be interested to see how a dungeon works.

[amber zinc]

later Tanuki! have a great day

[celest maple]

@celest maple Night!

[plush sleet]

Night Tanuki

[keen basin]

Maybe you just get knocked unconscious and rescued like in a few other games

[amber zinc]

i do believe tanuki said it was morning for him

[faint dawn]

Im gonna see what's offered.. though if alpha/beta... if the devs need you to test something... Then you might need to choose things that need testing..

[amber zinc]

😛 time zones are a thing all you americans!

(speaking as though i don't live in the pacific time zone xD)

[celest maple]

That was pestilense said

[plush sleet]

Yeah but I’m gonna do that in the main game

[celest maple]

Be my is 6.52 in the morning

[faint dawn]

oooh def..

[celest maple]

By me

[patent adder]

I am est 😄

[amber zinc]

lol have a good day tanuki, we'll catch you later

[faint dawn]

Also EST

[celest maple]

daily reminder to temper expectations of what you want the game to be so that you wont be disappointed ^^

[amber zinc]

tsk, all you easterners. how is the gas shortage coming along over there?

[plush sleet]

I completely agree with tha

[faint dawn]

Actually if chosen for testing they said on the google doc they want you to be as vocal as possible about what you like or dislike...

[celest maple]

it is best not to have any expectation of how the game plays :P.

[plush sleet]

I always have my expectations to high so I need to dial them down for games but at least it’s in pre alpha

[patent dust]

the pipeline is already up and running again :p the only reason there was a shortage was because of panic hoarding and absolute einsteins putting gasoline in plastic grocery bags

[mystic mesa]

I'm fully expecting to be able to fall out of the map

[celest maple]

that remindes me of valheim

[plush sleet]

Same I have never gotten to experience that so I’m ready

[rose mulch]

Hi y'all. I'm new.

[patent adder]

Welcome new friend!

[celest maple]

Welcome @olive laurel !

[mystic mesa]

Hi new, I'm bad dad jokes

[hasty niche]

Welcome

[rose mulch]

This game looks like just the sort of thing I need when I am relaxing at home.

[vagrant moat]

O Palia plz don't let me down!! My wife and I are waiting for this game 😄

[mystic mesa]

Falling out of map and losing all your stuff 👌

[faint dawn]

Im fully expecting to have my charactar LAUNCHED INTO SPACE.. (It still happens oddly in Sea of Thieves.. sometimes...)

[lunar grove]

Anyone know if there will be romance I didn't found any info?

[distant oar]

[bright hornet]

Yeah even le robot I think?

[patent dust]

yup! there is npc romance currently! (player romance may happen too)

[iron quail]

[lunar grove]

Oooh nice I love that 💜😌👌

[patent dust]

oh hi nele!

[celest maple]

im sorry if this is already something everyone talks about, I am so excited for the game, but I just wish the art style was more unique, especially the character models

[patent adder]

Yeah it'll be great we hope ☺️

[celest maple]

it is only pre alpha. lot of things can change

[lament bone]

man i have never seen a purple elf so idk

[mystic mesa]

I'm hoping there'll be skills for doing tasks a lot >.<

[patent dust]

but theyre pink :c

[lament bone]

i am color blind

[celest maple]

the girl in the trailer just looks very, fortnite-y

[lament bone]

pink is purple

[patent dust]

brown isnt a real color! its all fake!

[lament bone]

man do not even compare this to that

[rose mulch]

I am also working with the dev team on an AR mobile game, but it requires a lot of work. So, I definitely need a game I can chill with.

[celest maple]

its all i could think im sorry

with all of this marriage talk i hope there is a option to be a old single grump old man who tells everyone to get off my lawn

[lament bone]

😢 wait what color am i then if i aint brown

[celest maple]

mmos usually have really weird and unique visuals

[patent dust]

technically brown is just a darker orange!

[lunar grove]

Oh and is same sex romance possible I'm gay af haha, also anyone knows also how the pronouns work in dialogues like is it only just Male, Female

[plush sleet]

I’m ready for lag but I hope it’s not when I try to farm that a cow randomly appears from the void of space

[lament bone]

you saying i am just a darker version of donald trumps color

[mystic mesa]

They better have any combo marriage 😂

[amber zinc]

i mean if it's a social MMO i would imagine marriage and such would be a pretty expanded on system

[patent dust]

i would never EVER compare you to that man..

[faint dawn]

Inbefore before people look at Palia they're like "Nice fornite clone..." and brush it off... OOF

[patent dust]

or anyone for that matter

[brisk ivy]

The trailer reminded me of Everquest Next's style, somewhat.

[lament bone]

Lmao

[lament bone]

I will be the first to marry a golem

[rose mulch]

I played the OG EQ, and EQ2.

EQNext was not good 😦

[celest maple]

Night all!

[keen basin]

Even just the span of pronoun options as roles in the server suggests to me that they intend to have representative options in the game ^^

[plush sleet]

I also wanna be a miner I think that will be fun

[keen basin]

Good night!

[vagrant moat]

what's a chuu and chapaa

O_O

[lament bone]

[faint dawn]

Too many a times have i seen people look at a game that seems similar and just be like "That's a clone" and it's like.. stop.. it doesn't even play the same..

[mystic mesa]

Wondering the same >.>

[plush sleet]

That’s a chuu

[patent dust]

a chapaa is the squirrel like creature in the trailer, chuu is the nickname given by the community

[lament bone]

[plush sleet]

This is a chuu

[mystic mesa]

Chuupaa

[plush sleet]

It’s like the server mascot

[patent dust]

[vagrant moat]

-__________________-

[amber zinc]

has anybody here gotten a message from "theBestPup"? apparently she's been trying to join the server but it won't allow her to. i guess it has something to do with the server requirements?

[mystic mesa]

I want a team duck

[patent adder]

I haven't. I'd try to help if I could though. More friends! 🥺

[plush sleet]

I’m glad there’s no pvp because I feel like other studios would have made it a pvp mmo

[patent dust]

how would she message someone in a sever she cant get access to?

[faint dawn]

Probably something to do with accepting the rules...

[brisk ivy]

I mean, they might have tournaments in terms of fishing and stuff. That's sort've PvP.

[amber zinc]

she added me as a friend, then she could message me. so i assume she can see messages, just can't respond or anything

[mystic mesa]

How do they know you're in the server 👀

[amber zinc]

🤷‍♂️ it says the Palia server is a mutual server, it's just got to be some kind of bug with accepting the rules

[patent dust]

theres a system in place when you join where you have to accept in the rules channel, make sure she does that. if shes on mobile, there is a bug with discord, she should try restarting the app

[vagrant moat]

soooooooo is this game going to be more on the MMO side or Sandbox side? 😮

[rose mulch]

Wow, this community is pretty active.

[amber zinc]

right, good to know, she's on mobile so being the techy that i am the first thing i always recommend is "turn it off and back on."

[plush sleet]

I’m excited about the tournaments that sounds like a really cool aspect to a life sim mmo

[patent adder]

Yes it is! ☺️

[patent dust]

it does solve about 70% of problems :D lol

[rose mulch]

Arrgghhh. Help desk flashbacks.

[amber zinc]

aye

[faint dawn]

Somewhere in the middle? not quite an MMO, but not quite a sandbox?

[patent dust]

i really really wanna host a fishing tournament, rarest fish in a given time frame wins!

[mystic mesa]

Guild pvp could be an interesting thing tho imo, as long as it's friendly

[plush sleet]

I’m going to be THE BEST FISHERMAN EVER this game is gonna be awesome it’s the first of its kind

[mystic mesa]

I played another game that had that and ppl would share items and made it a nice community

[patent dust]

the game is described as a life-sim mmo, though there is some aspect or do as you please, so i guess in some ways it is a sandbox also, but not as much as the typical sandbox game

[brittle forge]

excited for the fishing honestly. They said it's gonna be similar to Stardew Valley, meaning active fishing and not just RNG, so that's gonna be fun

[faint dawn]

It's not going to be minecraft, and it's not going to be WoW.. @vagrant moat

It's an MMO that it's Massive Multiplayer Online... but there's no real "PVP" or "PVE" theres no health bar..

It's a sandbox where you choose what you'll do, but it's not a fully customizable terrain and such..

[plush sleet]

I’m also glad it won’t have super suggestive avatars it annoys me that games have that for no reason

[amber zinc]

ight restarted and still not working. Any other tips? it being a discord bug this isn't exactly my forte

[rose mulch]

I suspect that because the Game is headed by ex WoW devs, and others, it will probably have consensual PvP

[brittle forge]

from what they said, it's basically an open world where you can explore with other people and instanced housing, where nobody can enter unless you allow them to

[brisk ivy]

There's been social MMOs before, but I don't remember anything along the lines of sim MMOs from my own experience.

[amber zinc]

i mean second life was pretty "open world"

where you could do virtually everything

[patent adder]

Oh man

[plush sleet]

Yeah I agree

[brittle forge]

The closest to an open world social MMO like that I can think of is probably Sky

[still fog]

I just discovered Palia an hour or so ago. I've never played anything of this sub-genre, but I've heard it's similar to Stardew/AC? I've never played those either, so I wouldn't know lmao

[faint dawn]

According to the google doc, there will be no duels.. or actual fighting..
There will however be tournaments or games that will be PVP.. something like a boardgame...

[still fog]

but I've heard it's similar to Stardew/AC?
In theory, of course

[amber zinc]

playing yugioh in Palia, let's go!

[plush sleet]

I’ll be happy if that happens I just don’t want to die every 10 seconds

[brittle forge]

well, since farming and lifeskills are a big part of the game, comparing it to AC and the like is a fair comparison to make, yeah

[brisk ivy]

Hunting tournaments! Man Hunting tournaments...

[celest maple]

it would be funny after all this talks of chaapaa and chu , they turn out to be like honey badgers .aggressive and fights everyone and everything

[brittle forge]

when you enter the wrong neighbourhood...

[plush sleet]

It’s gonna be so cool

[mint kelp]

There is no hunting like the hunting of man

[brisk ivy]

lol

[patent dust]

tell her to fully leave the server and try rejoining, unless thats already been done

[spice wyvern]

[native willow]

hey!

[amber zinc]

already been done, just tried it

[faint dawn]

"Its possible we introduce PvP in small ways in the future. Currently its not.
Competitive activities is higher priority than 'pvp'
If PvP means competitive gameplay then we'll have some
if PVP means duels in the middle of town, nah"

[harsh adder]

G'morning lads

[rose mulch]

Well, I am interested enough to check it out, and I hope it is a casual game. But I still want to be able to fight something...

[faint dawn]

Basically no PVP but there will be "Competitive activities"

[plush sleet]

Me too I just hope o get into the beta/alpha testing so I can see if I really like it

[patent dust]

oh man, im out of ideas :/ maybe she can try to do it on pc and it will update the system on her phone?

[mystic mesa]

Is her email verified?

[rose mulch]

Discord has made several recent changes. Might need to update the app.

[still fog]

if PvP means duels in the middle of town, nah
Thumb wrestling

[brittle forge]

yeah, check email/phone number verification. Although that shouldn't prevent her from joining tbh. Usually just disallows them to type

[patent dust]

is that even a thing on discord? i know theres 2fa but i wouldnt think either would matter

[mystic mesa]

I remember seeing that your email needed to be verified when I joined

[brittle forge]

some servers can make it so you can only type once these things are verified to prevent bots or raids

[patent adder]

Some servers required it

[tender merlin]

Hiya!

[plush sleet]

I hope I can at least play it at a buttery smooth 60 FPS

[brittle forge]

Yo

[patent dust]

ahh ok, makes a lotta sense

[brittle forge]

requirements are pretty low apparently, so wouldn't worry about that

[mystic mesa]

My pc is pretty beefy meant for rendering so it better run smooth on mine 😂

[faint dawn]

When Palia-chat becomes I.T kekw
"Hello I.T. Have you tried turning it off and on again?" xD

[tardy wraith]

I’ll probably cap at 60 just to have the best graphics

[plush sleet]

Ok cool I have a 1650 TI so I should be god

[tardy wraith]

Since there isn’t really pvp in this

[rose mulch]

From what I saw, the devs want to make it cross platform.

[plush sleet]

Good

Gtg see y’all later

[rose mulch]

So the requirements should be low.

[celest maple]

Saw that too.

[brittle forge]

yep

[amber zinc]

alright. officially handling this issue off to Neleimour. Thanks for being an awesome and active admin!

[celest maple]

Nintendo switch pog

[brittle forge]

and mobile is their first priority, so you know it's not gonna be a heavy game

[willow cave]

I just heard about this game, just joined the discord, and I'm super excited for it

[patent dust]

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
Here are my home machine specs, I can run a few instances of the game at a time
Intel i7-8700
16G RAM
GEForce GTX 1080

if this is any indication :)

[celest maple]

Hi everyone! Nice to meet those who are also interested in this game as much as I am!

[plush sleet]

Ok cool

[faint dawn]

Heck, sense theres no real PVP or stress, Palia could make a great Cross-Play... If Ever ventured :o

[brittle forge]

Hey, nice to meet you too

[amber zinc]

honestly i don't like PvP to begin with so not having any in game sounds amazing to me

[tardy wraith]

Saw that the party size is 4 currently

Hope that gets increased in the future

[plush sleet]

Yeah it would make very good cross play

[normal turtle]

This game looks absolutely amazing, cant wait to see more of it and what incredible adventures we can have with friends in it 😄

[patent dust]

cross-play is being considered, but its far off :P

[rose mulch]

Ok, I see all kind of new joins (like me) How many of you just watched Asmongold's vid?

[tardy wraith]

Although I don’t know if party size is a huge factor in gameplay yet

[patent adder]

Yeah it'll be such a good time!

[celest maple]

Tbf most things are NDA rn lol

[patent dust]

also most party sizes in games is around 5, so 4 doesnt really seem that bad honestly, especially because of the fact theres no real large scale raids or anything like that

[plush sleet]

I hope if it has beta testing the NDA will be lifted

[normal turtle]

@patent adder Exactly! Being able to run around all goofy like exploring and bonking each other on the noggin! Hmm, hope we can get a rubber hammer to bonk your friends on the noggin when they say something stupid ;p

[faint dawn]

4-5 for parties are always good... Anythign above that is more like a guild or Squad...

[tardy wraith]

Hopefully they have lots of emotes and such for immersion

[mystic mesa]

If there was giant bear boss raids 👀💯💯

[patent adder]

Haha, heck yeah. ☺️

[patent dust]

NDA will most likely exist for each stage before full release, a lot of games do it that way

[brittle forge]

apparently no raids for now (or ever)

[normal turtle]

@patent adder 😄

[celest maple]

Looking forward to fishing and PvE 🥺

[plush sleet]

That is such a good idea you can just go BONK to all your friends it is a genius idea

[soft marsh]

i wonder how pvp will be

[rose mulch]

NDA will probably exist until open beta.

[plush sleet]

Same

[faint dawn]

"Character death? no death, or** health even**"

[patent adder]

If I see you in game.. you're gettin the bonk 😌

[faint dawn]

There is no HP bar

[normal turtle]

@plush sleet Ikr! Your friend says something so incredibly stupid you just look at him and go you know what.. You deserve a BONKIN!

@patent adder Not if i bonk you first..

[acoustic tendon]

have the devs said what year theyre hoping to launch?

[plush sleet]

Yes it will be awesome

[patent adder]

How could you bonk me?! Do see see my profile gif 🥺

[plush sleet]

Anyone wanna fish with me when the pre alpha releases l

[faint dawn]

Think of Palia as the only MMO where you CANT DIE...

[celest maple]

Doesn’t mean we can’t still have PvE though. Hunting moving targets is still good imo

[brittle forge]

gotta get in first

[plush sleet]

Yeah but if you get in

[celest maple]

I’ve played a few games where it was more about aiming than actually fighting anything

[faint dawn]

You wont die to it. You'll like to one shot things..

[brittle forge]

Sure, I'll be fishing anyways

[normal turtle]

@patent adder Everything is bonkable. It is the law regarding rubber/inflatable hammers.

[patent dust]

as a full release? no not exactly, its too early. the closest we have to an answer for this is less than 3 years. "While I can't give any specific dates, I can assure you that we are much closer than 3 years from launch."

[plush sleet]

Pog

[plush sleet]

Yes very true

[acoustic tendon]

ty, pastel!

[rose mulch]

I filled out the interview for getting into the pre-alpha. I wish I had added more info.

[normal turtle]

@plush sleet I also wonder what kind of funny things we'll be able to fish up besides fish..

[plush sleet]

A boot

[versed gyro]

Yeh I just filled the survey

[tardy wraith]

It’s probably just first come first serve

[rose mulch]

I was a guide in EQ

[celest maple]

I joined this discord before signing up for anything lol. Always good lesson to learn to do research first!

[normal turtle]

A boot... Perhaps a bottle with an old parchment containing something like music notes or something? So you can fish and find new tunes to play at your houses? 😄

[patent adder]

Look at you. Thinking ahead and stuff. 😆

[plush sleet]

I bet you can fish up wood and maybe even furniture that would be hilarious... or a BONK BAT

[brittle forge]

nah, they'll take your answers into consideration. It's a test, so they want people with different PC specs for example

[patent dust]

attempts to game the system will likely disqualify you if found out ;p

[celest maple]

Too much experience getting exit scammed by kickstarters 💀

[rose mulch]

Nobody is gonna do first come first served on an alpha

[mystic mesa]

Isn't pre alpha/beta data gonna be wiped regardless

[patent adder]

Yeah I get it, I am just teasing!

[brittle forge]

I mean, you don't really lose anything by filling out a survey

[faint dawn]

It'll be wiped multipul times

[rose mulch]

Almost certainly

[patent dust]

yes, but doing something nefarious to get into the pre-alpha when that key couldve gone to a more honest person is a bit of an issue

[celest maple]

^

[rose mulch]

You are joining an alpha to help them debug.

[plush sleet]

Yup

[celest maple]

Just wanted to double check to see if it was really something I was interested in lol. Didn’t wanna waste my own time and the developers who have to read the applications!

[normal turtle]

I do wonder, will we be able to get pets.. hmmmm

[mystic mesa]

Honestly would love to help the devs debug with log consoles lol

[patent dust]

this pre-alpha is more about figuring out what works and what doesnt gameplay-wise. of course theyll want bug reports too, but their focus here is what players want too, not just what the devs are wanting

[celest maple]

I'm ok with basic debugging stuff, having made minecraft modpacks and helped devs fix their stuff

[amber zinc]

The real benefits of being able to play in alpha/pre alpha is knowledge, and bragging rights that you got to play an awesome game before anybody else did.

[celest maple]

well of course

[mystic mesa]

Is there any considerations for how to make income to sustains servers? I've tried a lot of good games that ended up shutting down bc they couldn't keep servers up

[brittle forge]

You should check out the pinned FAQ in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha there's a lot of info in there, their plans for pets and the like included. Tl;dr it's on their roadmap, but no specifics yet

[gaunt cosmos]

@mystic mesa Oh dont worry, itll be profitable

[patent dust]

they wont give any info on how theyre going to monetize, too early

[faint dawn]

If you get into pre-alpha, you can't talk about anything INSIDE the pre-alpha..

[amber zinc]

This was a topic thoroughly discussed earlier lol 😂 where we debated the pros and cons of different monetization systems

[mystic mesa]

Just don't want to join it just to have it shut down 2 years later :/

[patent adder]

Brb, gotta do something at work finally 😆

[normal turtle]

@brittle forge Oooh i must've missed that then! Cheers, at least they've thought about it. Makes me happy, cause i want a lil goofer running around with me on my adventures 😄

[rose mulch]

I am very pro to a subscription service, like the old MMos

[amber zinc]

Such as a buy and DLC system, or a subscription based, or something else

[mint kelp]

First rule about pre-alpha is you can't talk about pre-alpha

[gaunt cosmos]

youll know within the first month

whether or not it will be successful

[patent dust]

pre-alpha is under NDA, but there will be channels in the server for pre-alpha testers to give feedback on the game systems (and i think there will be voice channels too)

[brittle forge]

It would be a waste not to have pets. It's really only a matter of time

[tardy wraith]

Is there a health bar/player death ?

[normal turtle]

@brittle forge Agreed!

[gaunt cosmos]

i hope there's pvm content

[cinder wave]

pvm?

[brittle forge]

nope

[amber zinc]

I mean it's called "Pal-ia" you can't have a name like that and not have a furry pal to play with

[faint dawn]

pvm?

[gaunt cosmos]

PVM = player vs monster content

[faint dawn]

no

[mint kelp]

sooo

[patent dust]

closest thing to pvm right now is hunting. as in with a bow against a deer

[cinder wave]

ah i just consider that pve

[mint kelp]

PvE,yeah

[tardy wraith]

^

[amber zinc]

Most people consider that PvE

[cinder wave]

also didnt they say pve would be hunting and beyond

[celest maple]

PvE is more universal term but some people use PvM

[gaunt cosmos]

PvM and PvE usually denote roughly the same thing

[tardy wraith]

That deer is a monster

[cinder wave]

how does that beyond work with no health .u.

[mint kelp]

Woah man. That deer has feelings

[patent dust]

player vs environment can be many things, player vs monster is more specific :P

[tardy wraith]

🤣

[faint dawn]

There will be Hunting, but nothing will be able to hurt you.. or probably attack you...

[brittle forge]

tbf, it's apparently pronounced Pale-ia, sooo

[celest maple]

PvM is more catered towards the idea that the mobs/monsters fight back

[amber zinc]

Shush, you'll ruin my high, I want pets

[cinder wave]

maybe they were being sneaky and stamina works as health too

[tardy wraith]

I think pve suits palia better than pvm

[patent dust]

technically, fishing is pve..technically

[misty basalt]

I want a Chapaa

[still fog]

Truuue

[stark latch]

I just hope they don't make the mistake of making it more hype than it is

[normal turtle]

@amber zinc Agreed, i want pets too! 😄

[celest maple]

I’m hoping things will at least stun you momentarily but not like hurt/kill you. Will add a bit more challenge to hunting things

[cinder wave]

hey now pastel if you wanna get technical woodcutting is pvtree

[mystic mesa]

Heck if I die just cause I run too much 😂

[warm veldt]

[brittle forge]

they had stamina in the game before, hated it and removed it

[sullen stone]

Fishing is PVF. Player Vs Fish

[patent dust]

🤔

[misty basalt]

[celest maple]

Like imagine trying to hunt a bull but having to dodge so you don’t get stunned in order to hit it

[still fog]

Catching fish on a metal hook and dragging them into an environment where they can't breathe, just for them to be cooked and eaten by strange beings

[tardy wraith]

Pvchuu 👀

[still fog]

Basically combat

[cinder wave]

i wasnt super diligent looking through the faq but i thought that was only in reference to stamina for resource gathering?

[celest maple]

PvP is player vs potato. 🤣

[amber zinc]

We should have a petition for pets

[misty basalt]

Petition to hunt mobs with potatoes

[brittle forge]

oh I thought you were referring to that type of stamina

[warped cliff]

Hello

[patent dust]

theres no stamina, also "food rot? gross." so thats out too lol tool durability? i believe they said no but thats not 100% known

[warm veldt]

The potatoes were the true main antagonist of Palia all along 👀

[sullen stone]

Oh I love that version of PvP.

[celest maple]

I’d love a cute pet that could help me fish. 🥺

[still fog]

penguin

[rose mulch]

@patent dust If there will basically be zero combat, what is the challenge?

[amber zinc]

Need doggos and cats

[celest maple]

Omg a penguin 🥺

[normal turtle]

@amber zinc Would be awesome if you can have like several pets at your house that runs around and interacts with each other and visitors. Who also like perhaps comes to you at random intervals requesting food/water or playtime? 😄

[patent dust]

theres more ways to be challenged than fighting things

[misty basalt]

Mr. Potatohead pet when?

[sullen stone]

I want to be able to build robots

[brittle forge]

they mentioned that you'll only have one tool that always replaces a lower tiered one, so it doesn't seem like something you have to switch out constantly

[celest maple]

I will literally donate money to fund someone to model, texture, animate, and program a pet penguin.

[cinder wave]

puzzle enemies would be strange but without health or some limit it does seem a little unthreatening

[amber zinc]

It seems like the need for pets is pretty universal

[rose mulch]

I agree, I am just wondering if you could say anything about it.

[amber zinc]

I hope the dev team is paying attention lol

[sudden rain]

Ooh being able to eventually make our own golem would be an awesome endgame activity!

[normal turtle]

@amber zinc Oh I'm sure they are ^^

[rose mulch]

I'd be down for puzzles or riddles, whatevs. But I do want a challenge.

[cinder wave]

riddles could be neat

[warm veldt]

From what I read, there will be combat, but it's completely optional

[queen meadow]

Jump Puzzles are always interesting

[glacial tide]

We love jumping puzzles 🙂

[brittle forge]

sounds like someone's trying to cheat on Einar

[sudden rain]

I'm so bad at jumping puzzles but riddles would definitely be fun!

[patent dust]

nothing specific, not that i know of. "If PvP means competitive gameplay then we'll have some if PVP means duels in the middle of town, nah" this is the closest i could find to an answer

[tardy wraith]

I wonder how open the plot system is

[warped cliff]

How to become mod

[glacial tide]

@patent dust probably instanced PvP

[patent dust]

you dont :P

[sullen stone]

I would have to move over to my wife's computer to do the jump puzzles for her lol

[dreamy thorn]

give chocolate

[warped cliff]

Lol

[cinder wave]

also has there been any explanation why einar was such a big part of the trailer if hes just the fishing npc

[brittle forge]

wait for them to ask for people. If they need mods, they'll let us know and give you some way to apply

[celest maple]

I took ‘competitive gameplay’ to mean stuff like cooking competition, fishing, fashion design, or something like those

[rose mulch]

"Competitive gameplay" will be enough for me. I don't need PvP

[dreamy thorn]

cmon man, fishing is awesome,

[amber zinc]

Sooooo... Does anybody here play D&D?

[patent dust]

they mentioned there could be pvp in the future maybe but it would be a small thing, and most likely nothing combat related

[warped cliff]

Nice thank you

[warm veldt]

Because Einar is best golem and deserves all the pebbles

[cinder wave]

fishing contests incoming??

[sullen stone]

o/

[patent dust]

PVP can mean many things, its not exclusive to combat

[rose mulch]

The game other game I am working with will have RL PvP. I need a game to chill.

[mint kelp]

I put on my robe and wizard hat

Wait wrong thing.

[cinder wave]

got a session tomorrow lol

[tardy wraith]

I just hope “competitive gameplay” isn’t mtx outfits

[patent dust]

two players in a fishing contest is pvp

[amber zinc]

Eric! Hi, I'm Erik

[glacial tide]

yeah probably competitive fishing/farming 🎣

[rose mulch]

Yes

[brittle forge]

probably because they knew the community would love that big guy

[amber zinc]

Macgyver, and chris

[sullen stone]

Double Erics! You have the cooler spelling though

[amber zinc]

And errisa

[celest maple]

Competitive fishing I will sweat so hard. 🤣

[sullen stone]

Tic Tac Toe is PVP

[glacial tide]

Veggie Chess ezpz

[amber zinc]

Does any one of you DM?

[brittle forge]

I hope fishing is challenging enough to be competitive. Would actually be nice

[warm veldt]

Competitive Connect 4 👀

[cinder wave]

tbh tho as far as pvp goes, that vague answer makes me think leaderboards

[celest maple]

Gotta get that master fisher trophy for my trophy room

[patent adder]

What :O

[sullen stone]

o/

[dreamy thorn]

i need fishing trophies for the living room

[bronze island]

Huh

[celest maple]

^

[rose mulch]

I have, been playing since 1979.

[amber zinc]

We're twinsies Eric!

[mint kelp]

Unforutnately not

[sullen stone]

Lol looks like it!

[tardy wraith]

It will be cool if you have to find certain fishing/hunting spots around the map without any guides

[brittle forge]

probably asking for a Dungeon Master for DnD, basically the one leading the party with a storyline

[amber zinc]

Oof errisa that makes me feel really young

[cinder wave]

ive tried to dm when i was first playing it but with my current steady group my dm is so great that i dont think i could hold a candle

[patent adder]

Oh yeah okay, I see. I missed half the conversation 😅

[celest maple]

I was such a bad DM 🤣

I enjoy playing much more

[cinder wave]

^

[rose mulch]

LOL, makes me feel really old.

[celest maple]

Morning

[maiden swan]

I have arrived

[brittle forge]

never played nor DMed so I'm sure you're better than me haha

[celest maple]

You’ve probably been DM’ing longer than a lot of us have been alive hahaha

[maiden swan]

Tis I, the infamous tech illiterate person

[amber zinc]

I've never got any complaints with my DMing. But I also spent years designed a massive open world that became something like my pet project, and then just kinda set my players down inside of it and let them do whatever they want.

[rose mulch]

Meh, I started Dming in the mid 80s or so.

[patent adder]

Awwh heck yeah ☺️

[brittle forge]

jeez, I didn't even know tabletops were a thing before the 90s lol

[celest maple]

What i missed?

[copper skiff]

Any one who can calculate Thac0 is ok in my book.

[amber zinc]

Tanuki you're back!

[cinder wave]

dang thats cool, i tried doing that once but i could not stick with it

[narrow sedge]

Yo Palia looks so good tho

[amber zinc]

How was class? That is what you had to do right?

[celest maple]

Yes for short

[vagrant stone]

I'M SO HYPE FOR THIS GAAAAME x.x

[celest maple]

Mood

[rose mulch]

The 90s is when WoD came out. Vampire, Werewolf, etc.

[celest maple]

No im still on my way to work

[patent adder]

Welcome 😄

[narrow sedge]

Hello!

[celest maple]

Hoi koi

[rose mulch]

I still remember how to.

[sullen stone]

Thats what I played in high school

[narrow sedge]

Hello!

I said that twice LMAO

[maiden swan]

Hello!

[brittle forge]

guess DnD was already around in the 70s?

[celest maple]

Hmm i hope today i have something to do on my work

[cinder wave]

AD&D is basically ancient isnt it?

[sullen stone]

It came out in the 70s

[rose mulch]

D&D was created in 1974.

[brittle forge]

damn

[patent adder]

You were just extra excited for my welcoming😆

[narrow sedge]

Yeeeeeeeees ahahha

[amber zinc]

Honestly it started out as me trying to write a novel. Then I just went Tolkien level with the world building, never finished the novel, spent several more years writing hundreds of NPCs, thousands of locations, dozens of new races, flora, fauna, and species, adjusting and reworking core systems like the economic system, and then and only then was it ready to play by my standards lol, and if I had to say anything about the level of completion... The world itself is probably only like maybe 20% complete.

[celest maple]

Uiii

[narrow sedge]

Wow I can't use my own emojis sad

[rose mulch]

LOL, I did that stuff too 😛

[narrow sedge]

Also Wunder I like your pfp!

[amber zinc]

^^this guy knows how it's done lol 😂

[patent adder]

Yeah, I can't use my Bulbasaur emote 🥺

[cinder wave]

how do you keep all your info organized?

[lunar coyote]

what is pfp

[cinder wave]

profile picture

[brittle forge]

damn, that's impressive. I wish I was creative and had enough drive to do something like that haha

[narrow sedge]

I just wanted to use my Tom wheeze emote LMAO

[quaint kernel]

.

[hoary pike]

Hello!

[narrow sedge]

Hello!

[brittle forge]

you can in most channels, just not in this one

[narrow sedge]

NO hahah sad

[rose mulch]

Being super creative came to me because I was disappointed in the real world.

[hoary pike]

I feel bad for the [S6] tagged members here. Why is every dev in here? They are going to be spammed by players!

[amber zinc]

Uhhhh about two dozen composition notebooks. Several folders of info, spreadsheets, and documents, lots of pictures (I'm also a novice fantasy cartographer, so I make my own maps.) And a damn near eidetic memory helps

[celest maple]

Thanks... Found on google.... And you can call me nuki

[narrow sedge]

They probably have it on mute and check it when they need

[cinder wave]

yo i was actually thinking of asking if you had any maps you were willing to share, there's something about maps that's always beautiful to look at it

[rose mulch]

I love making maps.

[copper skiff]

Google drive was the best thing to happen to GMs ina long time.

[narrow sedge]

Oooh okay ahah

[hoary pike]

Better to hire someone to compile all messages and give it to them as digest. or have just a few devs here. Not all.

[amber zinc]

Uh yeah anywhere I could post on this server?

[celest maple]

put the music on allright fellas lets get started on the work

[cinder wave]

does off topic allow media?

[narrow sedge]

Why not? I think it's cool they're all here

[amber zinc]

If not I could shoot it over in a pm or something

[hoary pike]

@narrow sedgeI am not against it. Just feel bad for them 😂

[celest maple]

[quaint kernel]

chuu

[faint dawn]

Chuuu

[rose mulch]

Wow, I am amazed at this chat. Seems like a great group of peeps. AFK a minute or so.

[hoary pike]

Hope this game will launch in Q4. Very busy now.

[celest maple]

:D

[thorny bear]

Capachu

Chapachu*

[copper skiff]

Not having murderhobos as a focus group has a positive affect on a community.

[celest maple]

Short afk

[faint dawn]

It may not be this year.. were still waiting on pre alpha..

[brittle forge]

nah, that's a bit too optimistic. From their own words, it's not gonna be 3 years, but certainly not just half a year when they're only going into pre-alpha in the next month

[hoary pike]

@faint dawn Ahh

[thorny bear]

Yeah, i hope they delay it to 2023 or 2024, i'm finishing my studies

[brittle forge]

I feel like a lot of people in here do not agree with that haha

[rose mulch]

Just needed to pour a new drink 🙂

[flat sandal]

Kinda happy that there is no Kickstarter or Pledge like stuff

[thorny bear]

Hell, i would like to work after finishing studying so a 2030 window would be great

[haughty coyote]

then you start pain in butt called search for work @thorny bear

[brittle forge]

and you think you're not gonna work anymore in 2030 when you're just studying rn? :P

[haughty coyote]

and when you get work you will not get holidays until after 2 years least

[copper skiff]

Post grad. Avoid reality a little longer.

[thorny bear]

You know what? I would like to enjoy this game with my childrens but i have none yet so don't release it until 2050 or so

[lunar coyote]

man I'm so excited I have to go ahead and start an fb group for my language

I hope it'll gain some interest

[brittle forge]

when most of their studio is gonna be retirees. Sounds good hahaha

[rose mulch]

Does anyone else think that gaming might be experiencing a Renaissance?

[thorny bear]

[brittle forge]

Renaissance as in what?

[copper skiff]

Constantly.

[brittle forge]

gaming in general is constantly changing

[lunar coyote]

Back to the good, ol, Ultima Online age ?

[solar stratus]

I think gaming has always been thriving at least now

[brittle forge]

if anything, MMOs might be experiencing somewhat of a renaissance

[mint kelp]

Unfortunately not as much in the MMO genre. But maybe in others

[rose mulch]

Well, I specifically think it is improving again from the dark ages of microtransactions and pay to win.

[brittle forge]

or rather going back to its roots

[haughty coyote]

and Tales in the Desert

[rose mulch]

Kinda

[mint kelp]

Going back to its roots would be much more PVP based and we're not seeing that so much I feel

[copper skiff]

That’s why I’m here. Been chasing that mmo “life” thing since. I made tables and chairs and had a BLAST doing it.

[lunar coyote]

and collecting people's heart

my gawd that's gotta get censor hard if release today

[boreal hamlet]

Hi!

[haughty coyote]

@copper skiff you missed great crafting MMO then

[boreal hamlet]

It will come out in Spanish?

[brittle forge]

not specifically talking about Palia here, more in general. With games like Ashes of Creation and Mortal Online 2, we're getting a couple of titles that try to bring back oldschool

[copper skiff]

Which?

[lunar coyote]

AoC got me excited for a while

[haughty coyote]

Tales in the Desert

[mint kelp]

What about AOC or MO2 strike you as "old school"?

[rose mulch]

They mentioned that other languages other than English will be in the future.

[boreal hamlet]

nice

[rose mulch]

I loved AoC

[copper skiff]

Scuttles off to educate.

[lunar coyote]

AOC, with their suuposedly caravan system, gave me impression that you won't have the QoL to teleport everywhere. And that's good imo

[haughty coyote]

XD

[mint kelp]

Fair enough

[boreal hamlet]

I saw the trailer and it looks good 🙂

[noble compass]

Chapaa

[patent adder]

[lunar coyote]

orrrr I'd like to say that any MMO that doesn't play itself is old school nowadays

[brittle forge]

AoC basically trying to become what people expect when they think of the term MMORPG and MO2 with the no-mercy, full loot, open world PvP sandbox that hasn't really been a thing in a while (mostly)

[haughty coyote]

yeah those 2 are innovated

[rose mulch]

Yeah, that's definitely not going to be this game. But I would love to see this game, and a super hard core MMO also come out.

[lunar coyote]

jeez full loot. I miss that

in a bad way lol

[rose mulch]

I miss the OG EQ PvP servers. It was close to full loot.

[lunar coyote]

1 reason I kept my best gears in the bank and only use regular, store-bought gear in every day play

[wooden widget]

almost wrote in here whew

[mint kelp]

Fair. I guess I never looked at it like that since neither of them look that good to me. AOC I hope is good but that siege gameplay from Steven's perspective just made combat look so boring (granted, again that could have just been him trying to play it safe I'll admit)

[rose mulch]

And I like the idea of not being able to just teleport everywhere.

[tacit ether]

HI!

[lunar coyote]

yea combat is not that interesting in AoC. I'd say I didn't like how their demo Sorc girl was animated either

but if the crafting and town-building holds up, it's still worth the play

[patent adder]

Hello and welcome new friend ☺️

[rose mulch]

Are you talking about the new one? Or the one in the early 2ks?

[brittle forge]

yeah, to be perfectly frank, I won't be hyped for AoC till they get their combat system fixed and reach closer to a beta phase than their current alpha stage. So far, there's still too many flaws to really consider it the "next hope" that people try to make it out to be

[celest maple]

So im assuming this game is going to have quests and the option to do PVE/PVP?

[lunar coyote]

the old one I guess. My feed stopped feeding my AoC videos a while ago

[brittle forge]

no PvP so far

[haughty coyote]

no pvp

[celest maple]

Atleast have PVE?

[haughty coyote]

of course and you don't even need to do combat in it

[celest maple]

I like combat so thats fine with me

[violet herald]

What about things like dungeons etc So you can Just fight and have adventures with youre friends? Like valheim

[rose mulch]

A lot of the devs from the OG AoC were creating a new game, but I stopped tracking them years ago.

[brittle forge]

well, not really? Sorta? The game doesn't really have typical dungeons/MMO combat yet, nor does it have health or player death. The closest you have to "combat" is hunting, which is done with a bow

[mint kelp]

I do hope for the best on it though. I want it to be good. To me it's always kinda sad that the Korean MMOs have the best combat but terrible gameplay mechanics. Like, I fell in love with Elyon's combat system but the KR version is looking pretty p2w (dunno about NA release version but....not a lot of hope)

[lunar coyote]

I need to hop on Valheim while the community still plays

[haughty coyote]

PVE = Player versus Environment

like crafting is PVE

[brittle forge]

they did mention to bring in dungeons and the like eventually, but it's not their goal atm

[haughty coyote]

exploring is PVE too 😛

[lunar coyote]

Animal Crossing was their like main inspiration right

[celest maple]

Well I hope there is atleast some questing to be done.. The content wont be much without a system like that

[rose mulch]

No, PvE does not mean those things, traditionally.

[celest maple]

Even if it is collecting stuff for NPC's etc

[brittle forge]

oh yeah, of course. Any MMO being good is helping the genre at the end. We need a fresh breeze and some new big players, preferably from the west

[junior bison]

Loving the art style of palia, i personally find it a bit unique and more up to date compared to other MMO's on the market. They didn't lower the resolution so much that the textures looks ugly

[lunar coyote]

I guess yes they'll have that @celest maple . My impression is that killing stuff is much easier to program than farming

[celest maple]

^

[brittle forge]

I'm sure there's quests, but from the looks of it its focus will be very much on life skilling, such as building a farm, fishing, hunting etc.

[lunar coyote]

you can set something up in UE in an hour these days. But farming, man,

[undone tartan]

Farming, fishing, wood chopping, mining, hunting...

[celest maple]

But once thats done.. What then? Questing in an MMO is pretty much essential

[noble compass]

Heyy Milky wuddap c:

[lunar coyote]

Ultima Online would like a chat with you. He's very old, and can't hear you very well anymore, but still

[undone tartan]

No, it's not. The entire point of a game isn't questing, it's just having a gameplay loop to keep players interested. Quests work in MMORPGs because they give the players goals- but in a game that's about setting your own life path, you don't need quests.

[patent adder]

Just at work 🥺

[celest maple]

So the game is going to be life, within a life?

[lunar coyote]

Anyway even Animal Crossing has quests so rest assured

[noble compass]

I'm sorry for you :D :/

[shut hinge]

The only pvp I want is to defeat people by growing bigger carrots than everyone else

[celest maple]

Exactly @lunar coyote

[noble compass]

Chapaa

[brittle forge]

as I said, I'm sure the game will have quests. Open world exploration is also another big part of the game too. But so far, it's difficult to judge how exactly it's gonna be since we don't really have much info besides the stuff in the #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha FAQ

[celest maple]

Animal Crossing did have quests

Hey

[lunar coyote]

With exploration you can expect combat, I say

[celest maple]

Guess we'll see

[lunar coyote]

I'd love hitting that goblin with my fishing rod

[rose mulch]

I'm new, so I am not sure what they intend, but if there is no combat whatsoever, this game will fail. There is combat even in Minecraft and Roblox. PvE (battling mobs) will have to exist.
