[severe gorge]

P A W

[celest maple]

Not nerdy snort?

[brisk ivy]

I thought it was pal-ia

[balmy trout]

I have that English European accent so its easier for me like that

[spring talon]

Oooh, that would be a good pronunciation because we're all gonna be pals in game

[proven temple]

Yeah that might be better.

[balmy trout]

pay leah sounds wrong idk why

[gilded plume]

I knew it wasn't that easy @brisk ivy xD

[valid fossil]

I have to remind myself it's PAY LI A everyday not PA LI A

[celest maple]

[brisk ivy]

🤷

[ionic brook]

Im gonna keep pronouncing it Pahlia

[spark helm]

I'm aussie so I'd pronounce it Pah-Lee-Ah too

[severe gorge]

im canadian, so paw lee ah for me

[balmy trout]

Pah-Lee-Ah is the right way then

[regal peak]

I think it will go down the road : Game comes out, EVERYBODY pronounces it differently, everybody talks smack about others pronouncing it wrong

[balmy trout]

its already happening

[celest maple]

But... Squish the quench :o

[regal peak]

Kinda yeah

[valid fossil]

yeah but that's funny

[brittle forge]

that's just life in a nutshell

they may think it's supposed to be Pale-ia, but that sure as hell ain't the opinion of others

[balmy trout]

imagine, femboy maid café

[regal peak]

[brittle forge]

you wanna make your own femboy hooters in Palia?

[ionic brook]

[white narwhal]

Paul-eye-uh. Chaos.

[celest maple]

If maid cafe exist i build a hunters guild

[severe gorge]

[proven temple]

People who say jif should be bullied.

[celest maple]

[proven temple]

Literal worst nightmare 😭

[spark helm]

[proven temple]

AAAH

[finite geyser]

I guess I'll have to tax the rich then

[regal peak]

This game will burn, burn far and wide from what I can see so far.

[severe gorge]

haggers is the one supplying the seeds

[nova ember]

Yeah, looks like you didn't pay your aquatic life gathering tax this month, there's also a tax for the fine i'm about to impose

[celest maple]

You say it.. So its gonna happen

[ionic brook]

Okay so you mean give, okay 🙂
I guess I have a rival now

Taxes are relaxing, though.

[celest maple]

Well then... Youre going to brazil

[ionic brook]

If you receive them, definitely

[brittle forge]

oh yeah, and every month you have to write your tax return in-game, else they'll fine you...yeah that sounds fun

[brisk ivy]

That's what this game is about. Relaxing taxes.

[proven temple]

NO

[balmy trout]

horrible

[nova ember]

Imagine setting up toll booths

[balmy trout]

Lemme just have my Femboy Maid Café

[severe gorge]

[sour gorge]

Even the joker doesnt mess with the IRS

[celest maple]

And i take rhe taxes who want pay

[nova ember]

"gotta give me a fish donation to cross into town"

[proven temple]

Hahahah

[brittle forge]

I'd say we just pay our taxes to Einar in pebbles, the pebble tax sounds like something I'd be okay with

[severe gorge]

"gotta feed me to get in"

[finite geyser]

Finally I'll be able to commit tax evasion in-game too!

[balmy trout]

https://c.tenor.com/iNJ3cA3wV18AAAAM/the-simpsons-mr-burns.gif

If you pay your taxes, sometimes the government gives you some of your money back to you! Fun times ahead!

[balmy trout]

cough dont mind me

[spark helm]

Not in my realm :D

[spark helm]

doesn't mind you

[celest maple]

Exactly

[proven temple]

Giving money back? Not on Hagger's watch.

[spark helm]

this cheese be spooky

[balmy trout]

they keep sending buff girls with thicc thighs

[severe gorge]

wtf

[celest maple]

I think I will go for the lone, crazy fishermen next to a lighthouse aesthetic

https://tenor.com/view/rajang-monster-hunter-mhw-gif-15260035

@balmy trout then you must pay with pain

[finite geyser]

I dont care how many himbos or buff girls the IRS sends, I am not paying my taxes

[loud finch]

Hola

[iron pagoda]

I would start by seizing anything associated to earning a wage, crops, transport etc .. that's how it's usually done

[celest maple]

Thicc thights

[severe gorge]

seize the means of production, make communist neighborhood

[celest maple]

But boobas good too

[severe gorge]

profit

[brisk ivy]

If you don't pay your taxes, how will they pay for all those bullies they send at you to collect your taxes?

[finite geyser]

We will overthrow the ruling class alongside Einar, armed with potates alone

[summer skiff]

schools bullies are just agents of the irs in training to collect taxes

change my mind

[narrow pasture]

Never thought I'd see a bunch of fellow tax evaders here of all places 😂

[finite geyser]

Thats what they never tell, gotta stay on the lookout

[iron pagoda]

We will collect from the premises of said accused. I want a collection of tractors .

[celest maple]

when will we get the email about pre alpha

[severe gorge]

soon

[celest maple]

and is the pre alpha just a demo ?

[wispy wyvern]

Just after they send them I would imagine

[finite geyser]

According to the devs "soon"

[severe gorge]

probably in a few months soon, or weeks, or days

so taxes in palia

[sour gorge]

Few weeks after announcement for the email i believe they said

[severe gorge]

who will be the mayor

[celest maple]

is the pre alpha just a demo ?

[iron pagoda]

soon = 39th of Janember

[sour gorge]

We dont know what all the alpha includes

The only skill it has is hunting though

[peak granite]

A pre-alpha is not a demo. Rusts what some companies unfortunately show their game as but a pre-alpha has literally nothing to do with a demo. A demo is a slice of a near finished game a pre-alpha is nothing representative of the final product and is basically systems testing. It's not the game in any way that's what an actual pre-alpha is.

[celest maple]

And now... Time for the nom noms

[brisk ivy]

Some games treat their test phases as demos, but proper alphas can be rather basic.

[sour gorge]

I think part of the upcoming test is going to be a stress test on their servers

[brisk ivy]

Probably. Best to test the server end before going ham on development.

[sour gorge]

Yep always good to do stress tests so they know what needs to be upgraded/optimized

[broken surge]

Ill be intrigued to see if they have a system like the turnip npc on animal crossing, that would be pretty cool. I hope fishing will be in the game and some sort of auction house

[peak granite]

It's probably further along and they're calling it a pre-alpha I was just clarifying what a pre-alpha is. Look at pantheon rise of the fallen or ashes of creation for a pre-alpha. They're accurate representations of it. It's a buggy systems test and server test at most

[sour gorge]

Whats that? I dont have animal crossing

[brisk ivy]

Turnip vendor is a stock market.

[peak granite]

Sometimes people see some Korean mmos get alpha releases here even though the games been out in Korea for 5 years l. They all it an alpha and now people think that a finished game with 5 years of additional content is an alpha.

[brisk ivy]

Turnip prices rise and fall each day, but go rotten every week. Forgot if it was on Sunday.

[wispy wyvern]

Surely a broth vendor is more like a stock market...

[broken surge]

Thank u, best to explain it like that i guess

[celest maple]

I wonder if there will be different kind of "themes" we can do for housing...like necromancy, or forest, or wizard tower. Or will it be more stock stuff like wood,brick, stone,etc

[serene jasper]

omg i hope there’s themed items i’ll b so happy

[peak granite]

A mage town would be cool. Seeing magic spilling out of an entire town

[broken surge]

Christmas and Halloween events would be awesome!

[iron pagoda]

are there seasons in Palia?

[spring talon]

Ooooh Pumpkin carving contests 😄

[celest maple]

Then with our neighborhoods. We can vote to change the look weekly or monthly or not at all. Depending on the preference

[peak granite]

No info yet

[spark helm]

oooo good question! i hope so :D

[iron pagoda]

would be awesome to have seasonal crops and game!

[serene jasper]

probably will b but they haven’t said anything abt it

[celest maple]

If themes are available..in game or mtx. I would personally either want a winter wonderland theme. Or some sort of mystical dragon lair like theme

[unique compass]

where's chaapa chat

[spark helm]

i want an anti Chuu theme

[broken surge]

Whats a realistic date for release on this game? End of this year or next year?

[spark helm]

ALL CHAT IS CHAPAA CHAT

[celest maple]

Seasons would def be interesting, with different foods available

[tropic chasm]

In the faq there's a hint that there might be seasons

[spark helm]

probably next year tbh

[unique compass]

real talk, you're probably looking at 2-5 years tbh

[broken surge]

Dont say 2-5 years 😭😭😭

[tropic chasm]

And for a game that farming is a big thing, seasons should be a must have

[iron pagoda]

I shall open a store selling Chuu effigies! come one come all!

[wispy wyvern]

Theyve said it will be sooner than that

[serene jasper]

it won’t b dw lol

[celest maple]

If we are just about to get an alpha...or a pre-alpha. Depending on how intricate thr game is (thankfully no super crazy combat to adjust and fiddle with constantly) i would guess at least 1 full year

[severe gorge]

id rather it be 2-5 years than them rushing it just because they said sooner than that

[tropic chasm]

I would assume 2 years for a full release

[brisk ivy]

MMOs tend to take a total of 5 to 8 years, but I am not certain when they started development or how fast this style of MMO takes to make.

[severe gorge]

i want palia, not a warcraft reforged

[wispy wyvern]

3 years of development so far.

[unique compass]

Actually if they've been working on since 2018 so maybe it will be in 2 years

[celest maple]

Off to bed. Be safe everyone

[severe gorge]

nini!

[celest maple]

Im back and stuffed bmburp

[honest haven]

Nightt

[unique compass]

I just can't imagine a mmo not having a monster dev cycle

[tropic chasm]

I just noticed we hit 60k

[broken surge]

Im hoping they come out with more footage or screenshots soon

[celest maple]

And now in german... Gute nacht

[honest haven]

Same it's what mmo are made of really

[wispy wyvern]

Tchus!

[severe gorge]

i hope the monsters are like my time at portia

[celest maple]

*tschüss

[wispy wyvern]

I did my best.

[sour gorge]

There isn’t any combat in the game so idk if there will be monsters

[celest maple]

Still good boy pat pat

[severe gorge]

maybe capture?

[unique compass]

the monsters are Chuu

[sage otter]

do you guys think there will be a market place / auction house type thing?

[plucky abyss]

it will most likely be a sims type game but you must collect materials to build communities

[sour gorge]

LIES

[severe gorge]

i want the players to build villages/ towns instead of us being in a prebuilt one fighting for housing

[spark helm]

there is combat of some sort

[celest maple]

i wanna make some friends- i am trying to be part of a palia group

[unique compass]

Alright I have to sleep or I will die

[wispy wyvern]

There's no conventional combat so it's not a faction based game like most. But there is in the form of hunting and potentially adventuring.

[celest maple]

The monster is (y) chuu

[sour gorge]

Not in the alpha

[spark helm]

Good night~

[celest maple]

good night

[spark helm]

oh in the alpha, mb

[celest maple]

Sleep well

[sour gorge]

Lol sorry should have clarified

[spark helm]

nah all g lol

[muted garnet]

gn

[shut dove]

hello, i am new to the server and very excited and enthusiastic about the game. i would die to play alpha

[spark helm]

Welcome!

[wispy wyvern]

Heya!

[severe gorge]

im probably not going to get alpha, even tho i did the survey

[celest maple]

yaawn can get a nap too.. But still 2 hours before work is done

[honest haven]

Welcome 🥳

[tropic chasm]

The majority of "fighting" might be market and hunting grounds

[shut dove]

i have always wished for an online sims-like game after having sooo much fun in wow with friends, so this is great news

[celest maple]

would it be fun if the community was able to create thier own furniture , with a basic moddeler in-game and support for external models?

[severe gorge]

resources like higher grade wood or mining nodes

[honest haven]

That would be cool!

[sick perch]

I would love something like that

[severe gorge]

inb4 someone makes nsfw furniture

[shut dove]

same!!

[severe gorge]

it just takes one person

[tropic chasm]

Yeah, maybe tributes for the neighbourhood that owns that mine/forest

[pseudo hornet]

Does anyone know if there’s a progression/leveling system in the game?

[spark helm]

It would be cool but you'd have to moderate it pretty closely, that stuff can get out of hand fast

[tropic chasm]

That would be cool

[spark helm]

no idea sorry! I'd assume so since it's an mmo 🤔

[shut dove]

do you think there would be trade relations between neighbors?

[celest maple]

it would help take some burden off the devs for creating new furniture and decoration.

[severe gorge]

i wouldnt know, pre-alpha isnt out yet

[celest maple]

Hytale is doing it

[spark helm]

if you want there to be, sure :D

[severe gorge]

i think a workshop would be good, where people would post comissions and the devs would decide if it goes in or not

[celest maple]

there are AIs and algorithms to prevent mature looking furniture so who knows

[celest maple]

i love hytale , hopefully it comes out soon

[tropic chasm]

If i'm not wrong, they talked about it in the pinned doc at #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel, but i don't remember exactly

[celest maple]

i think yes

[spice wyvern]

[celest maple]

Little reminder for everyone... I can hunt for you if you wish

i think the communities best furniture can be either be sold at markets if the devs like it or be download as a blue print of sorts

So you dont need ti

[tropic chasm]

There's always that unnoficial market trade between players in mmo, so i think it can happen

[sour gorge]

I checked the FAQ and didnt see anything so thatd be a good question for the Q&A

[spark helm]

Hunt me the finest Chuu coat and I shall reward you handsomely

[celest maple]

alr ill ask it

[proven temple]

WHAT

[spark helm]

but no hurting any Chapaa!!!

[spark helm]

you heard me!

[shut dove]

i feel attacked :(((

[proven temple]

I refuse to hear it

[tropic chasm]

Marketing your business in the pre-alpha

[brisk ivy]

They'll need to keep in mind the MMO aspect. If something is player made, they would need to have that sent to all clients that enter a zone with that furniture.

[patent adder]

Hullo friends 😄

[spark helm]

Well you read it so too late

[wispy wyvern]

Would you serve a Chapaa burger in brioche or sesame bun? With or without coleslaw?

[celest maple]

hello

[spark helm]

Milky is back

[celest maple]

My weight in gold and the hunt is done

[spark helm]

As you should >:(

[proven temple]

Pft. Idk what you're talking about😶

[tropic chasm]

Hi milky

[spark helm]

so thats about... what, 5 gold pieces?

[spark helm]

why you booli me

[celest maple]

5000

[patent adder]

What is going on with everyone

[sour gorge]

More like .5 :p

[pseudo hornet]

I don’t even know what Chuu or Chapaa are, I just thought Chuu was a cuter noise

[spark helm]

:(

[proven temple]

gasp I'm not the one bullying

[spark helm]

You big bully >:(

[tropic chasm]

As always, we are talking about grilling chu and making stir fryed chapaa

[spark helm]

I'm getting bullied

[patent adder]

Hmmmm 🤔

[patent adder]

How's it feel

[celest maple]

I hope later the game they has monster who challenging to hunt

[willow sundial]

@tropic chasm let's make the grill neighbourhood

[celest maple]

Les français venez en pv on crée une team

[spark helm]

pretty cute 😳

[warped niche]

Hey guys got a question, what do you think will be the main content that will encourage players to play for a long time?

[willow sundial]

medium rare chaapa

[spark helm]

Ahh, way to call me a monster :/

[spark helm]

Farming and Chuu huntin

[tropic chasm]

We have my ale business, you can have the food part, and @celest maple will hunt for us

[proven temple]

Oop😳

[celest maple]

What?

[wispy wyvern]

Emergent social activity and a sense of community

[spark helm]

👉 👈

[celest maple]

I should hunt you? Lets go

[willow sundial]

oh yeah

[spark helm]

cause i didn't pay the 5000 :D

[sour gorge]

I think its going to be the chill environment and not having to worry about grinding to do an endgame raid

[celest maple]

The best meat for the best food

[sour gorge]

They said they have plenty of planned end game stuff for us though

[celest maple]

they say the devs will update the game for yrs to come, so new content will keep the game fresh, however the community will be the one keeping the game alive and fun

[tropic chasm]

Since it's a social mmo, maybe the chill vibes of farming and exploring, and for some building

[celest maple]

Oh right.... You didnt pay taxes.... Prepare to die

[shut dove]

it would be nice to have some mini competitions like who will harvest the biggest pumpkin or things like that

[celest maple]

I will become the best fisher to ever fish

[eternal temple]

Morning all

[summer obsidian]

Good morning y'all! Another morning waking up and being obsessed with Palia 😄

[spark helm]

I'm THE tax man in this community. I don't pay taxes, i receive them

morning!

[celest maple]

But tax man must pay taxes to

[spark helm]

Not in this realm

[wispy wyvern]

I think someone needs throwing in the river. time to get all Bostonian.

[willow sundial]

but paying taxes for what ?

[proven temple]

Everything

[cloud lark]

Dont tax the fish

[summer obsidian]

Wait...Haggers is going to be the tax collector? makes note to not include him in my neighborhood 😛

[tropic chasm]

We can have neighbourhood fights for who harvests more

[sour gorge]

That would be cool

[celest maple]

Can I pay my taxes in fish?

[proven temple]

Trust me. You don't want him anyways.

[sour gorge]

Yes but you have to give them to the Chuus

[celest maple]

Deal

[spark helm]

...maybe

[sage otter]

im actually so excited for this game

[spark helm]

STOP BULLYING ME

[shut dove]

yeah stuff like that would be competitive and fun

[vital drum]

Can't we just drown him in the river

🤠

[proven temple]

Stop pretending that you don't like it.🙄

You said you felt cute

[inner orbit]

Morning! Time to obsessively check this chat until I can play the game! 😁

[daring rock]

Hiya :3

[vital drum]

Collect taxes? How about you collect THIS WATER ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER

[willow sundial]

@tropic chasm we could also train chapaas and make them fight, the loser gets cooked

[sour gorge]

Im hoping we can have something like a guildhall in our neighborhoods that we can vote on and build up

[summer obsidian]

Morning!

[celest maple]

Good morning everyone just wakin up!

[proven temple]

Love this!

[spark helm]

I always feel cute, that doesn't mean I like being bullied :(

[shut dove]

oh btw, if there were to be a tex system to complicate things, what would a player do when they run short? would there be like mandatory community service like sweeping the streets?

[regal mango]

Morning, have a nice day

[spark helm]

idk man, the water on top is just as good

[proven temple]

Okay I'll stop....if you reduce my taxes.

[tropic chasm]

Thats nice, illegal chuu fighting

[vital drum]

Could you maybe become a criminal

[spark helm]

fine fine.. you pay 49.9995% instead of 50%

[shut dove]

i mean yeah

[cloud lark]

Ooooooo i like that idea! A centralized area so delegate big projects for the community. That would be littt

[vital drum]

Trust me it's another flavor at the bottom :)

[spark helm]

OH? I'm going :D

[summer obsidian]

oh wow, we already have illegal chuu fighting rings...this community has taken off fast 😂

[sour gorge]

Yes exactly! It would awesome

[willow sundial]

underground activities : chuu fighting

[proven temple]

Yo at least give me 48%

[muted axle]

Hello

[vital drum]

Danish taxes damn

[eternal temple]

Hello

[spark helm]

Yo at least stop bullying me

[iron pagoda]

I want defecation to be a daily thing. Wake up, "stretches Ahh morning all, just going to the crapper!"

[proven temple]

I will, once you lower my taxes to 48.

[full tinsel]

this game looks so good!

[celest maple]

Leave it to a discord chat to turn a sweet mmo into fighting rings

[shut dove]

ayyy hahahaah

[tropic chasm]

U can always live in the woods

[celest maple]

strike down backstab :D

[proven temple]

There was an arsonist in here before. It's wild.

[sour gorge]

Welcome!!

[spark helm]

Earn it

[regal mango]

I know right

[summer obsidian]

I could see people fighting them like Pokemon. "Chapaa, I choose you!" "Chuu, I choose you" and battle to see who finally wins the battle! 😛

[celest maple]

What.. 😂

[spark helm]

dead

[vital drum]

A criminal underworld just gives depth to any game 🤠 gotta show that humanity has duality

[proven temple]

I'll earn it when I'm not bullying you😡

[celest maple]

imagine sitting in ur towns cafe with 4 buddies , drinking coffee/drinks and chatttin/or voice talk while the sun sets ^-^

[cloud lark]

Bruh if i get backstabbed while watering my crops, I'ma alt+f4 life. Thats ultimate betrayal

[full tinsel]

hopefully i get into the alpha to test this!

[spark helm]

You're never not bullying me >:(

[willow sundial]

me seeing a peaceful world : This world needs cute animals fight to death

[proven temple]

Yeah. They wanted to commit arsonist and pillage houses

[regal mango]

Lmao i can see that feature in the future 😂

[vital drum]

I want that irl, can't wait for the vaccine

[umbral ferry]

Joke's on you, game disabled altf4

[proven temple]

I'll stop once the tax is lowered tho!

[shut dove]

would it be a thing to form a cukt if there is magic in trhe game? like the cult of magical fish

[spark helm]

this was actually me a few days ago LOL

[tropic chasm]

Son the surface we have my inn, in the underground a gambling facility with chuu racing and fighting rings

[sour gorge]

Imma open a cafe

[spark helm]

No lower taxes until you stop bullying~

[sour gorge]

Even though you probably cant

[celest maple]

Alright all of you asking for chaos are going into an Outlaw Village

[proven temple]

But the person I'm talking about was this morning

[sour gorge]

Imma still do it from my house

[eternal temple]

I need to catch fish

[proven temple]

mmmh okay I'll stop bullying for 24 hours and then I want to have my lower taxes.

[vital drum]

I wrote a suggestion about occult activities to do, just to add some layers to the seemingly innocent world of Palia.. If they are inspired by Stardew, then maybe we'll see something like that

[summer obsidian]

I would so stop over for a coffee right now! I NEED it! 😄

[shut dove]

fishy fishy fish

[willow sundial]

@tropic chasm let's make a mafia ahah

[cloud lark]

This turning into SAO now? Lmaooo

[shut dove]

that is also nice kekw

[spark helm]

so I need to step up my arson game too :/

[sour gorge]

Tell me about it lol

[celest maple]

i hope we can have some form of terraforming in out plots or islands

[keen parcel]

hiiii!!

[eternal temple]

Like BIG fish…for my wall

[patent adder]

Hello!!! 😄

[proven temple]

Yeah. You're falling behind already🙄

[spark helm]

NO! stop bully forever or no taxes and no potato seeds

[sour gorge]

They said there is no terraforming but that would be cool.

[shut dove]

but i want a game without violence, just with everyday sturggles made chill with the beautiful scenery

[proven temple]

You drive a hard bargain.

[spark helm]

i'm gonna go find your house and burn it down :D

[celest maple]

oh 😦 ok

[cloud lark]

Terraforming would be a whole new beast to code to an already beautiful world tbh

[spark helm]

I also drive a hard life someone pls help

[eternal temple]

Sounds like palia 🤔

[vital drum]

I'd love if they added the option for violence, but with a toggle or instances, no forced stuff

[muted axle]

Ayo! Please don't uguhuhuhu 😭

[proven temple]

Don't worry. Soon you'll be rich from all the taxes.

[shut dove]

jehehehe i hope soo

[spark helm]

DAMN BOI HE THICC

[tropic chasm]

@spark helm will be our neighbourhood security tax collector

[sour gorge]

They did it for AC so i dont see why they couldn’t do it here but yeah it is a lot of work

[celest maple]

Haggers and Annie are both going into the Outlaw neighborhood

[regal swallow]

Give Shrew a fish, he will eat for a day. Give Shrew a fishing rod. And he will feed the whole neighborhood

[muted axle]

I just want to play a chill game with my husband. No taxes please

[proven temple]

Wait no why. Don't put us in the same neighborhood!

[spark helm]

damn straight i will be

[celest maple]

i guess i am expecting too much, remember guys , even though they are veteran devs, they are still only like 20 people, lets not get overhyped

[summer obsidian]

Gives shrew a fishing rod...and sits down at table and waits 😄

[lofty jasper]

Good Maker Monday
https://tenor.com/view/toy-happy-rocket-factory-animation-gif-10917947

[shut dove]

someone likes fish. would you open a fish restaurant and name it the old man and the sea?

[celest maple]

I'm not sure I trust you two to not get into any shenanigans

[spark helm]

Look i'm burning all your houses down either way

[celest maple]

hi

[sour gorge]

Here is from the FAQ There's no terraforming but the customization options for your plot will get very interesting

[sour gorge]

Hello

[regal swallow]

No.. it be Olnom and the Sea

[shut dove]

fair enough

[eternal temple]

I’m opening a fish shop called Feks’s Fish Fry

[willow sundial]

if you are curious you should definitely read the pinned unofficial Q&A in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha

[iron pagoda]

Server wide stock market and centralised banks to big to fail with a monopoly on plots and housing please!

[summer obsidian]

Hmm...I wonder how much fire insurance is gonna cost

[proven temple]

I will be your loyal customer.

I like salmon

[cloud lark]

These devs will pop off. If one person can make stardew valley a pop off game, these guys are bound to make something extraordinary.

[eternal temple]

First meal on the house

[heavy falcon]

same here!

[regal swallow]

Yakmoo milk

[heavy falcon]

for everyone?

[spark helm]

You actually eat fish... fish are friends

[keen parcel]

Hello a question, I am Spanish, there is a channel to be able to talk to Spanish-speaking people? I offer to organize it if it takes ^^ I'm super emotion 💯

[cloud lark]

I will only sell LonLon Ranch milk in my town. Its what heroes drink

[summer obsidian]

Only english channels for now, Sorry

[proven temple]

Which is why I allow them into my tummy~

[celest maple]

Gulugulu

[heavy falcon]

what about dutch channels?

[patent adder]

Currently it's just this one right now 😦

[eternal temple]

Yes, just recommend friends 😄

[spark helm]

I'm scared of being your friend now

[keen parcel]

ok no problem

[proven temple]

For now it's an English only server.

[regal swallow]

We only trade in pebbles in dese parts partner

[willow sundial]

there are answers in #❔│game-faqs and #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha pinned messages. these channels will answer like 70% of your questions

[eternal temple]

Will work for pebbles

[heavy falcon]

yeah I know, I'm just goofing around a bit xD

[grizzled granite]

👀

[proven temple]

Us....friends?

[plush kelp]

it feels like i’ve been checking my email inbox every five minutes for palia invite 🐱

[spark helm]

Us... not enemies?

[celest maple]

Oh wow I'm watching friendship being made

[spark helm]

KITTY IS BACK

[proven temple]

.....it's the end of the world.

[plush kelp]

yes kitty here ! how is everyone

[spark helm]

stop bullying me :"(

[proven temple]

Hellow kitty

[heavy falcon]

imagine having friends :(

[regal swallow]

Community karaoke night?

[terse copper]

this game need show combat 🙄

[spark helm]

am okay but i'm being bullied :/

[plush kelp]

hi ily

[willow sundial]

you real cat 😮

[upper patio]

meow

[spark helm]

How are you?

[plush kelp]

what who :(

[proven temple]

No no no. I meant us two would be a destruction combo ;-;

[wispy wyvern]

Borf borf borf.

[plush kelp]

i’m ok how are you

[proven temple]

I wasn't being mean this time!

[spark helm]

The monster bully person @proven temple

[plush kelp]

wtf scawy

[spark helm]

L I E S

[proven temple]

NO

[pseudo hornet]

regardless of whether or not there is combat or some form of it, I’m hoping the game does provide challenge if someone looks for it- like challenging hunts or extremely rare fish and stuff like that : )

[plush kelp]

@proven temple don’t bully :(

[willow sundial]

I'm a disguised cat

[proven temple]

I'm not though ;-;

[willow sundial]

but i'm hooman

[patent adder]

Hello 😄

[plush kelp]

hi omg ily milky

[heavy falcon]

animals need to be cherished

[patent adder]

Wha 😄

[proven temple]

I wouldn't dare. He will raise my taxes if I do :c

[bold robin]

I think there’s a lot of ways to do challenge without combat. And I actually hope they don’t do too much with combat - plenty of games do that already

[plush kelp]

🐱❤️ @patent adder

[summer obsidian]

I will admit, hunting is going to be hard for me. I don't want to kill the cute pixelated animals 😦

[patent adder]

I ily you too. How are you 😄

[willow sundial]

@heavy falcon is putting a chuu on a grill a way to cherish an animal ?

[plush kelp]

very good but anxiously hoping i get an invite hahaha

[proven temple]

From what I've read and seen so far. There won't be combat and if there is, it'll probable be fairly easy and not that important~

[heavy falcon]

also, can someone explain what the difference is between chuu and chapaa? xD

[tropic chasm]

Wanna join my conglomerate of the food industry?

[spark helm]

you bullied me so i raise them higher :/

[celest maple]

i hope the cooking has a lot of variety

[wispy wyvern]

There's going to be a lot more focus on puzzle based challenge as I understand.

[willow sundial]

just the name

[proven temple]

But....I stopped bullying. Let's not be enemies ok?

[bold robin]

Yeah that’s what I’ve seen so far - and I like that. But I also see people asking about combat/wanting combat and just no thanks

[eternal temple]

For sure let’s make that money

[spark helm]

........does that mean i'm going in your tummy cause I don't wanna be eaten

[plush kelp]

what is everyone up to :o

[heavy falcon]

so if you put chuu on a grill, you put chapaa on a grill too

[wraith rivet]

Chapaa is the official name to an animal. Chuu is the name others came up with before the official name

[willow sundial]

yes

[patent adder]

Oh yeah, of course. Same 🥰

[proven temple]

I don't think the devs will make that happen. Considering they are trying to create this fluffy, cute and social mmo which is definitely different from other kinds of mmo

[spark helm]

No no Chuu are ugly and yuck

[heavy falcon]

thinking if I should play valorant or not, in the meantime talking for the first time in here

[spark helm]

Chapaa smol and cute

[proven temple]

No no. That's only reserved for my fish friends.

[grizzled granite]

procrastinating getting up for work 🙃

[bold robin]

Same here. Plenty of recipes and even variations on recipes would be good.

[pseudo hornet]

Hey :(

[mellow hinge]

I am awake! Sorry about yesterday, I joined then went sleeping right after, so I didn't have time to discuss with y'all

[tropic chasm]

Drivers license renovation

[spark helm]

well some people say i smell like fish :)

[mellow hinge]

how is everyone doing?

[sour gorge]

Good and you

[heavy falcon]

oooh I see, thank you!

[mellow hinge]

doing amazing 😄 tho I have school in like an hour

[winged basalt]

woke up this morning and I was pain free... mostly... still feels like something is pressing on my side, but it's tolerable without drugs... light at the end of the tunnel

[spark helm]

rip i know the feeling. hope you're okay :(

[proven temple]

You good? Do you know what's hurting you?

[willow sundial]

hello @winged basalt 👋

[plush kelp]

i’m sawy i have to go but ily so much have fun guys :(

[proven temple]

Goodbye kitty!

[heavy falcon]

that sounds serious, I hope you will feel much better real soon again

[eternal temple]

Adios seniorita

[heavy falcon]

cya! pat pat

[plush kelp]

:o

[patent adder]

Have a good day 😊

[winged basalt]

I have a mutant clotting factor 8 gene. One of the side effects is extremely high blood viscosity which sometimes manifests as intense pain in my abdominal region around my diaphragm. So far it's not dangerous, just painful. And it comes and goes. I was 6 months without real issues before it sparked up a few days ago.

[spice wyvern]

[lone crane]

😢

[proven temple]

Oh I hope it settles down soon!

[willow sundial]

are you taking drugs to liquefy your blood ?

[sour gorge]

[spark helm]

That sounds horrible, I'm sorry :(

[eternal temple]

Are there child labor laws in Palia 🤔

[heavy falcon]

oh, I'm sorry to hear that :(
I truly do hope you will feel much better soon

[winged basalt]

Yep. Eventually it will kill me... but that's in like 30 years, and heart disease or alzheimers will probably smoke me by then anyway.

[willow sundial]

fuck man life hits hard on you

[celest maple]

Im to tired to work anymore xwx

[proven temple]

I don't have any knowledge about what you're going through. But is it not treatable?

[eternal temple]

That’s pretty rough

[winged basalt]

Not currently, it's my genes. It killed my grandmother and almost killed my mother. But we spotted it early for me. So no strokes

[stone gorge]

Hello 🙂

[wraith rivet]

As far as I'm aware, marriage & kids are a good possibility down the line

[winged basalt]

but since I'm not hurting much. BIG HONKING BREAKFAST COMING UP!

[celest maple]

I hope you can die without much pain

[devout oasis]

Good Morning Palia

[celest maple]

Morning ryo

[willow sundial]

@winged basalt let's go, huge breakfast is how you start a good day

[winged basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-strange-doctor-strange-supreme-sorcerer-pain-is-an-old-friend-gif-15516179

[spark helm]

morning ryo

[sour gorge]

I could see marriage but kids is just too much imo

[burnt fulcrum]

"Morning"
I totally didn't wake up in the afternoon...

[spark helm]

I can't wait to marry the town drunk npc

[devout oasis]

@celest maple Oh ein Wunderflausch 😄

[pseudo hornet]

I hope the community is genuinely like this throughout the games run. Everyone here seems super friendly and welcoming : )

[eternal temple]

Livin the dream

[celest maple]

Ein ryo <w<

[winged basalt]

The pain is annoying, frankly I hate being high on the pain killers more than the pain itself. And like I said, it's pain for like 3-6 days, and then nothing for months... just when I am in pain, its distracting

[celest maple]

Feel you

[willow sundial]

@pseudo hornet I guess it's expected on a game made to chill

[devout oasis]

I hope the game will be super chill ^^

[sour gorge]

This game needs to be out

Tired of not having anything to play

[devout oasis]

But I also hope for adventures to go on

[eternal temple]

Anyone know if palia will have specializations

[sour gorge]

There will be! 🙂

[keen parcel]

hype

[spark helm]

well it looks to be more spring time in the trailers so it might not be that chill of a weather

[wispy wyvern]

Did you try the orange juice to help with the side effects?

[burnt fulcrum]

Sadly, I don't like getting up this late...

[thorn mortar]

I think it will, but I was hoping for a runescape experience where you can do everything

[willow sundial]

do we have other sources of information apart from faq and pinned ask the team messages ?

[sour gorge]

What do you mean? Like skills? Cause there is. Like cooking, fishing, hunting, mining, woodcutting,etc

[sour gorge]

No

[celest maple]

I'm squinting at you even though you can't see me

[thorn mortar]

I think he means you are better at fishing than other people if you are a fisherman

[winged basalt]

yea, It helped. I need to ask the doc if those tramadol he gave me get stronger over time. I don't remember them being that strong 0_0

[spark helm]

oh no what happened to your eyes :(

[sour gorge]

Well maybe news articles i guess

[winged basalt]

I was orbiting saturn for the better part of a day 0_0

[sour gorge]

Ah ok. I’d assume so.

[marble dagger]

Good morning all!

[devout oasis]

Fishing.. Mining... it reminds me of RuneScape a bit and I loved that game 😄

[thorn mortar]

hey

[eternal temple]

Yes like specializing in certain skills..like someone chooses fishing another chooses cooking..or can everyone specialize in everything

[thorn mortar]

memories....

[eternal temple]

Where did you hear this? I’m curious

[winged basalt]

I'm hoping we have some sort of experience system, where you pick on to start and get a boost to it, but can eventually learn everything

[thorn mortar]

I didn't, just personal thoughts

[sour gorge]

You can do everything. @thorn mortar

[wispy wyvern]

For me its the sleep disruption that causes problems on them. Oh another drink that can also help is lucozade. Obviously fresh water is also a must.

[thorn mortar]

Im sure of that, but maybe some people are better than others at specific tasks you know 🤔 I don't know how they will handle this, only way to be sure is playing the game

[eternal temple]

I’d figure specializing could make it more social if you need to hire someone who is specialized in something you need

[thorn mortar]

true

or to create stores

[winged basalt]

I don't have much trouble sleeping on them, other than that room is spinning feeling.

[thorn mortar]

like a lumberjack selling wood

[iron pagoda]

I hope they have a "cap" on how many skills you can master. Otherwise if everybody is self sufficient it could hinder the social aspect

[thorn mortar]

or a chef selling better food

[eternal temple]

Correct

[thorn mortar]

idk runescape was pretty sociable

[winged basalt]

You should be able to do 'some' of everything though.

[spark helm]

okay i need to head off to bed, goodnight peoples.

[heavy falcon]

this would honestly be a good idea, but would that also limit the player from other specialisations?

[burnt fulcrum]

Night @spark helm

[thorn mortar]

yea I agree with this, some, not all I think is perfect

[sour gorge]

This is the only thing i can find talking about it “Different activities/skills are different, its hard to say but people will probably gravitate toward their favorites and specialize that way”

[heavy falcon]

good night!

[wispy wyvern]

I want to say it gets better but opiod based pain relief sucks ass.

[eternal temple]

You could still learn the basic skills but only specialize in a handful of them

[thorn mortar]

interesting

but I must say one thing

[vernal ridge]

I'd rather it not be like that, while I like the social stuff I also don't want to have to rely/be forced to rely on others simply because "social aspect"

[eternal temple]

But that’s just me thinkin

[iron pagoda]

runescape was but that was a huge grind, also if you maxed everything you tended not to seek services past groups for pve

[winged basalt]

Fortunately I only need it for like a week... so no addiction risks

[thorn mortar]

it will suck creating another character to try other jobs

like having one specialized fisherman, one chef, one hunter, etc

I do enjoy having one mega character for quality of life

[celest maple]

I think if you look at games like ff14. One reason it is so popular. Is because one character can max everything. Not multiple toons or accounts needed

[eternal temple]

Ok I’m off to work, have fun guys

[thorn mortar]

bye bye

[heavy falcon]

good luck at work!

[devout oasis]

bye

[thorn mortar]

I see where you are coming from

[winged basalt]

Also... since they are intending to keep instancing down. Alts, are to be frowned upon

[vernal ridge]

agree with this, you can still be good at everything and still have a social aspect.

[heavy falcon]

yeah that's true

[hollow pulsar]

if pre-alpha is under an NDA, would that mean that talking about the content in this server wont be allowed when it releases?

[thorn mortar]

its a hard question to answer because there is no perfect solution

[strange fern]

Exactly

[iron pagoda]

I agree but to "master" a skill should be limited in my eyes, can imagine having to find a fisher for a super rare fish for my stews etc

[thorn mortar]

damn

[winged basalt]

In this channel: No talking
On this server: There will probably be specific channels for people in the Alpha

[summer obsidian]

You can still discuss the game, just not any of your experience playing it...It would be pretty difficult

[heavy falcon]

I just think it depends on the playerbase entirely, seeing in which direction they want to take this game, it will attract more people who are into the social aspects of the game considering there won't or barely be any grinding for items/levels etc in the game

[zealous bough]

There'll be specific channels made for fellow pre-alpha players, you can discuss there

[sour gorge]

NDAs require an end date so once the game is fully released you can discuss all you want

[thorn mortar]

thats probably what they are going for tbh

[celest maple]

I can honestly say...for me and me alone. If I am required to have multiple toons or accounts. Game will be dead on arrival...for me. My roommate is disabled. So we play everything together. But being forced to would be bad.

[strange fern]

Morning!

[mellow hinge]

@thorn mortar hello froggo

[patent adder]

Hullo ☺️

[devout oasis]

mornin Birlett

[thorn mortar]

hellor watermelo

[mellow hinge]

I hope Palia has frogs so I can have you as a pet :3

[modest sedge]

Great idea to lock the ask-devs channel and have q&as. It is pretty time consuming talking to people on Discord. 😅

[thorn mortar]

please frogs we need frogs

[sour gorge]

I just dont see this game having multiple toons if you dont want it. Besides the devs already said you can do everything on one toon

[celest maple]

Nice

[mellow hinge]

Palia devs, we need frogs 😠

[hollow pulsar]

whats a toon

[faint dawn]

For pre alpha you get one, but i think they giving like 3..
But there will be multipul races like human and elf is planned so far..

[sour gorge]

They just expect people to specialize in certain roles instead of trying to do everything

[thorn mortar]

I think its awkward having multiple characters in a life-style game, its like you have multiple lifes? kinda weird idk

[wispy wyvern]

A character or avatar you play

[devout oasis]

I wanna be an assassine and defeat the world boss 😂

[thorn mortar]

i dont know about that chief

but good luck!

[zealous bough]

with the world boss being the deer that just attacked your farm

[devout oasis]

I think that robot is it

[celest maple]

I wanna become the best fisherman to ever fish

[thorn mortar]

maybe the world boss was the friends we made along the way

[hollow pulsar]

i wanna live in a house with me and my 3 other malewife friends

[strange fern]

I was watching the trailer yesterday (again 😂) and I at least got to see the Town name which is beautiful

[burnt fulcrum]

@hollow pulsar since we talked about puzzles yesterday, it got me thinking. It would be cool putting together a guild that focuses on solving puzzles and uncovering lore

[sonic jolt]

The final boss is actually just some possums you gotta get out of your garden

[faint dawn]

There is no PvE like bosses and such..
There is no health bar or player death.

[hollow pulsar]

oooooh :00

[celest maple]

A big chungus nuki trying to roll over your town

[devout oasis]

I know 😄

[thorn mortar]

the world boss is actually the market prices inflating

[wispy wyvern]

You can put them in mine

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/big-chungus-gif-18975107

[hollow pulsar]

unpopular opinion (i think) but i despise timing puzzles

[thorn mortar]

what you mean

[plush kelp]

i’m back 😸

[celest maple]

Wb

[patent adder]

Welcome back!

[plush kelp]

how is everyone

[thorn mortar]

pretty good

[devout oasis]

hyped

[plush kelp]

that is awesome

[hollow pulsar]

the world boss is the ingame economy and the battle is keeping it stable

[faint dawn]

@patent adder good morning.

[patent adder]

Good morning to you, you mean. I just got off work 🥺

[slender torrent]

morning fellow party people

[burnt fulcrum]

I don't like them either, give me a bit more advanced puzzle that requires me to take some time figuring it out

[devout oasis]

The Endboss is the salat that wont grow properly in your garden xD

[sour gorge]

@faint dawn ill need you to post more art please

[faint dawn]

@sour gorge im working on it.. my yakmoo feet obsessionos done for now..

[slender torrent]

wha

[patent adder]

Did you dream of them

[plush otter]

Lol

[thorny dune]

what if you gave them human feet this time 🤔

[hollow pulsar]

this !! timing puzzles are fine if its not complicated but in a game where you have freedom of movement it kinda just gets frustrating

[vagrant crest]

Guys in so hyped

[mystic violet]

Good morning, fellow Palians. How goes things in my new favorite community?

[sour gorge]

Lol thats good. Finally decided how they are going to look? Cant wait to see it

[meager cosmos]

Morning

[thorny dune]

still hyped and waiting for a scrap of more information

[rare yacht]

Morning

Nice day for fishing ain't it?

[devout oasis]

I suggested an Art Show on Twitch with people from community. That would be so cool and fit perfectly into the chill and cozy aspects of the game 😄

[thorny dune]

👀

[sour gorge]

We need a gameplay video

[white ledge]

Did anyone get a confirmation email after submitting the survey?

[meager cosmos]

[slender torrent]

.-. god is dead and feet have killed them

[mystic violet]

Always a nice day for fishing. Always.

[rare yacht]

Hua ha!

[lavish remnant]

Ye who controls the feet controls the world.

[hollow pulsar]

i think u only get a confirmation email if u got in the pre alpha, not sure tho

[faint dawn]

@sour gorge i still have lots to do with it.. i wanna make ot look softer.. more palia like... need to add background and fore grouns, need to add the human.. then animate it..

[patent adder]

When I wake up, I hope there will have been some progress 🥺

[sour gorge]

Take all the time you need. You’re super talented and i look forward to seeing the stuff you post haha.

[mystic violet]

I wonder how long it will be before people start recruiting for their neighborhoods. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of that already. People are usually so ready to get their own little communities going.

[hollow pulsar]

i got invited by chu to their discord server but im too shy to talk in it

[patent adder]

You should join us

@hollow pulsar

[devout oasis]

One of Us one of Us

[hollow pulsar]

ill think abt it hehe

[heavy falcon]

I understood that reference

[arctic onyx]

two words

frog racing

[patent adder]

You are welcome to join, if it's the one I am in you mean 😄

[hollow pulsar]

is it the chuu sanctuary

[devout oasis]

Is it a secret society ?

[hollow pulsar]

i mean im not sure, im not really consistent with discord

[burnt fulcrum]

Secret society? 👀

[sour gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/fight-club-his-name-is-robert-paulson-gif-14292377

Its okay, we willjust corrupt you and make you one of us. >:]

[hollow pulsar]

i talk a lot then i go on a hiatus for like 3 months

[patent adder]

Yah it is, one of us... One of us.

[hollow pulsar]

pls @ me there am too shy to talk

[dry delta]

I love this idea! A community driven MMO sim is definitely a new-style concept that I would love to get behind and put effort and time into!

[wispy sleet]

hi guys:)

[mellow hinge]

henlo 👋🏻

[hollow pulsar]

you’d just see me talk after like a 3 month break and i kinda get guilty abt it but thats kinda why i dont really do long term multiplayer gaming w my discord frens

[patent adder]

Hullo, friend. 😄

[devout oasis]

[devout oasis]

[tight shale]

[faint dawn]

"I say, good day to you sir" xD

[spice wyvern]

[heavy falcon]

so many people coming into the chat!

[north knot]

Totally acceptable ☺️

[tight shale]

I just signed up for the game, I would definitely like to get some leveling in before everyone else starts to.

[plain hound]

good day all

[tight shale]

o/ good day

[heavy falcon]

don't forget that this is more driven towards the social aspects instead of grinding for items/levels etc

[faint dawn]

It'll be wiped.. the testing phases and alphas will be wiped multipul timea.

[novel shoal]

hello

[distant acorn]

hewwo

[twin ermine]

Hey y'all!

[velvet jetty]

[novel shoal]

I hope so

[plain hound]

hello there!

[quaint swift]

Hiya 🐸

[heavy falcon]

waving to so many people, my arms will get tired xD

[novel shoal]

Am pretty exited for the game

[plain hound]

hello hello!

[quaint swift]

True, good luck 😔

[plain hound]

...meh...why did I thought it was a good idea to open discord while I am working...

[velvet jetty]

[novel shoal]

haha

[heavy falcon]

worth it tho xD

[velvet jetty]

worth!

[wispy wyvern]

Yep the fan base growth is exponential

[onyx void]

If the community is so peacefully i would stay here all my life

[tropic chasm]

I opened in the middle of a medical exam

[heavy falcon]

absolute madlad

[mystic vale]

I opened after a bath

[wispy wyvern]

[tropic chasm]

Downtime between exams to be honest

[faint dawn]

Depends.. with there being absolutely no PvP...there will be competitive activities, but no real "fights"

[velvet jetty]

amen

[plain hound]

Iron chef Palia!!!!!!

[flat timber]

Competitive communities always find a way!

[tropic chasm]

Chuu racing

[hollow pulsar]

if a game is especially non competitive

[left peak]

Competitive fishmongering

[hollow pulsar]

theres always speedrunning

[flat timber]

^ This for sure!

[hollow pulsar]

are MMOs speedrunnable?

[left peak]

As long as you can come up with the conditions, anything is

[faint dawn]

Yes, but it takes alot of the enjoyment out of it..

[hollow pulsar]

:((

[heavy falcon]

I can just imagine like 90% of the players fishing along the coastline to try and catch the biggest fish xD

it will be legendary!

[swift basin]

This seems like a place to come and stay... not a game to zoom

[hollow pulsar]

any% finish the tutorial

[heavy falcon]

honestly, I will be playing New World A LOT when it comes out, but this seems like a good game to play to the side when I just want to relax

[mystic vale]

tutorial: "press space to jump" player: screw you, I'm not gonna jump

[flat timber]

I'll be looking into New World but the next MMO I'll be hopping into will be Elyon (I know there are lots of mixed opinions on it lol)

[tranquil sentinel]

first mmo that actually has stardew valley vibes ngl

[soft rain]

I mean, since Palia seems to have a story, there'll most likely at least be some to try set some speedrun records on that aspect

[flat timber]

But yeah Palia seems great to relax on

[tranquil sentinel]

every game out there's always abt saving the world in some high fantasy setting it's ALWAYS the same formula x_x

[wispy wyvern]

Which I think does a disservice to the story makers.

[faint dawn]

Id personally love glider racing.. ^-^

[wispy wyvern]

Just chill, smell the roses. Count the clouds

[soft rain]

"There's this evil thing you need to beat. Get strong!"

[plain hound]

that exactly what I found so interesting...a game I can relax without being pushed to get ready for the next raid/invasion/whatever... just enjoying the peace and quiet.

[soft rain]

Yes, I'm going to be part of that community if it comes to be

[heavy falcon]

I've been playing black desert online for quite a few years, so I see a lot of similarities with Elyon and I can say that I'm not ready for another RNG adventure xD

[wispy wyvern]

Be more boulf

[heavy falcon]

ooooh that sounds cool!

[tranquil sentinel]

i hope greifing's gonna be handled pretty well!!

[swift basin]

Agreed... lots of other places to find gear grind / more intense gaming (or real life fun). I'll keep up with FF XIV for storyline but have always wanted a chill zone where I can built a hobbit hole and just do whatever.

[soft rain]

Eh, kinda, mostly speedrunners have completed the same thing 10s of times, so it being bare-able to them is a compliment in some aspect

[lunar coyote]

anythng free worth playing while waiting for this

[faint dawn]

Even if glider racing is less like everyone racing and more like a time trial on how fast you can finish a glide course..

[soft rain]

It all depends on how advanced the glider controls are... if it's just left-right, then gliding will get old fast

[tranquil sentinel]

genshin glider type beat

[swift basin]

I mean... FF XIV or SWTOR free trials both have great stories

[dry delta]

Yeah but I don't think the pre alpha is a free trial.

In Palia's sense

Oh I just saw your question

[soft rain]

Although FFXIV's story is...slow at start

[dry delta]

Don't mind me hahahaha

[soft rain]

it really only gets up to speed lvl 45+

[swift basin]

Indeed... Alpha and Beta are about testing and wrecking serverz!

[obsidian lake]

SWTOR is a great story telling game. But if u value sanity don't try the endgame.

[astral otter]

Cant wait to see what the community spirit is like. Going to visit neighbors to introduce yourself etc

[flat timber]

A lot of people, even those who hate BDO, can't move on because they've invested so much time and money on it lol. But yeah Elyon is very RNG and it can be rough but the PvP aspect is what is appealing to me. I played in CBT1 and have friends playing in KR. What really surprised me about Elyon is that in large scale PvP (25+ people) with tons of animations firing off I didn't have a single bit of frame lag. Playing on a 6+ year old rig and not frame lagging in such intense fights was crazy for me.

[noble compass]

chapaa supremacy.

[obsidian lake]

FFXIV is very fun, but the story is slow. I honestly boosted in FF to enjoy it more.

[soft rain]

And even as someone who played it all through, I dont blame you one bit

[left peak]

Aye same

[cyan seal]

Is alpha playable already or is there a long wait before it's open to public?

[swift basin]

It does pay off big time later as the characters develop

[obsidian lake]

Personally i tried to Play the story for FFXIV.

[dry delta]

@cyan seal They said they'll be releasing it soon

[soft rain]

SoonTM

[faint dawn]

As someone whos does a real reborn 3 times... weak sause.

[cyan seal]

Noice

[left peak]

Ooooooo

[soft rain]

So you're one of these masochists

[swift basin]

Have you tried since they cut a bunch of the useless stuff out last August?

[faint dawn]

@soft rain i am a healer main.. what do you expect..

[obsidian lake]

Personally i tried to Play the story for FFXIV.
But i quit, i couldnt get into it. SO i tried ti again after being so jaded with other MMO's, and boosted and enjoyed it alot more.

[soft rain]

Touché

[dry delta]

Dragon Quest 11 has one of the best RPG stories

Like I ugly cried at some parts on my first playthrough

[obsidian lake]

I have not personally. But ive been thinking of doing it. Ive heard its not as slow, but ARR can still be quite long.

[swift basin]

Boost if you want... but once you hit FF XIV's 1st expansion it is all good

[soft rain]

I honestly dont know how I got through 1-50

Probably because I knew multiplayer content was coming

[willow sundial]

@soft rain I unplugged my brain and auto played, hit 50 and then replugged da brain

[heavy falcon]

that's indeed a crazy experience then! I've honestly invested so much time in BDO, but at one point I just got tired of trying to compete with people, I've had my fair share of Node Wars in pretty strong guilds, but eventually I decided to walk away from the game because the RNG aspect became too much

[obsidian lake]

I had other MMO's taking my attention so i couldnt get into it at the time, and when i started playing it a year ago. I boosted cause mentally i was so fucked i just wanted to play an endgame raid or a few and enjoy a non toxic community

[left peak]

I played it all but damn some parts of ARR are a bloody drag

[swift basin]

Yea I had the same feeling before... but tried again in March and discovered those changes last August made it MUCH better... and if you get on a yellow star XP boosted server then it goes FAAAAAST now

[faint dawn]

Just watch mad because small or find story in other ways if your lost in story now..

[soft rain]

Especially the endless lvl 50 quests

[left peak]

Jealous of tall

[obsidian lake]

Is that a youtube channel?

[faint dawn]

@obsidian lake yes look it up

[obsidian lake]

I have a good understanding of the story now.

But i might. Stories in MMO's are important, i just can't say ive been that invested in them although.

Y'shtola is bae

[faint dawn]

Wenprobably gonna get barked at for XIV in the palia area.. xD

[swift basin]

Makes sense... I'm permanently retired from gear grind / end game raid... so I just enjoy MSQ... got to Shadowbringers last week

[flat timber]

I'm holding out hope for New World but some people that I know weren't satisfied with it so we've essentially moved on. Though we've heard that they've made some pretty big changes since the last time they had access to it so a group of us will be buying into the beta to see if it's worth it for the rest of our group

[wispy wyvern]

Borf Borf Borf.

[obsidian lake]

I mean. I'd hope not too tbh. I hope we can talk about games, and not get our heads bit off, i hate that about some discords for online games which are so cult like i leave in mere seconds

[flat timber]

I thoroughly enjoyed the lore and questline/mission line in GW1. Though GW1 was my first MMO, I spent nearly 10k hours in that game over the years

[swift basin]

Whoops sorry someone asked for a suggestion of something to play while waiting and those free trials should be plenty to hold anyone over

[celest maple]

Countdown to work end

[reef ivy]

Good morning everyone 😃

[swift basin]

Morning!

[stoic helm]

will the game be free?

[left peak]

Morning!

[faint dawn]

Yeah but to be safe lets just take all the xiv atuff to #🎮│other-games .. slurge all you want there.. ill join in o3o

[celest maple]

Here comes hamtaro kushi kishi cuu~

[unique gorge]

So how's the emerging Palia community doing this morning?

[wispy wyvern]

No word on monetization yet

[reef ivy]

[celest maple]

[stoic helm]

oki, thanks

[swift basin]

good suggestion... but time to feed kiddos... and dream of my Palia hobbit hole

[reef ivy]

Howre yall doin this rainy mornin?

[celest maple]

Btw im the only one who thing chaa looks like gnah from lol?

[torn zinc]

I'd imagine we won't hear about it for at least a year and until after alpha or late into it

[plush otter]

No rain here sadly

[heavy falcon]

I've been following New World since the first alpha test, I've played the alpha and the beta as well and stated, together with 90% of the other alpha players that the game is not ready for release yet. The last delay they did was actually necessary and since then they have changed and added so many things into the game. It's actually starting to look like a real mmo now instead of what it was before

[reef ivy]

Ill send some your way 😄

[plush otter]

[swift basin]

Here in Austin we're just starting to dry out

[reef ivy]

Yeah kentucky is getting the flood now 😂

[stoic helm]

will the game be online multiplayer?

[plush otter]

Yup

[unique gorge]

Yes, it's a MMO.

[stoic helm]

sickk

[flat timber]

Good to hear it, here's to hoping it pans out!

[torn zinc]

Although we don't quite know to what extent

[reef ivy]

You can prolly find most of your answers in the #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel! 😄

[stoic helm]

thanks :)

[reef ivy]

Just gotta dig through a little hah!

[stoic helm]

ightyy

[swift basin]

Garden / fish / cook / hunt... I wonder if bird watching is part of hunting or can be its own thing

[torn zinc]

Your housing for example may, or may not be instanced entirely seperately, or in a small cluster of people etc
