[patent adder]

rejectors of the chapaa/chuu binary stay winning

[harsh wolf]

[queen fossil]

Okay if labeling yourself chapa or chuu makes me a furry I gotta get that gone 👀

[pulsar tinsel]

Bro... what questions are these

[novel delta]

no.

[vagrant ice]

ofc, that is the core gameplay of this game

[gritty veldt]

yesss hype hype hype

[novel delta]

Palia isn't anything new.... It's just skyrim again.

[patent adder]

How are you doing tho, haven't seen you in a bit ☺️

[vagrant ice]

yeah, it's difficult to get written sarcasm, i give them that, but c'monn

[balmy sky]

This channel is going downhill fast

[proven temple]

I bet you're having fun taylur. But please keep pronouns/gender out of this.

[dusty cargo]

@patent adder I'm good thanks! Been working odd times so been on at weird times haha. How are you? 🙂

[pulsar tinsel]

It happens with uh, large groups

[patent adder]

I'm good. Having fun with this chat.. for the most part 😅

[celest maple]

im so hypedddd is there a release date

[gritty veldt]

nope

[queen fossil]

No

[dusty cargo]

good to hear! hahaha

[vagrant ice]

prealpha very soon

[ionic portal]

Soon ™️

[gritty veldt]

see the pinned google doc in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha for any questions about the game you may have, it got a ton of info

[celest maple]

mb

[gritty veldt]

well the most info available as of now at least

no worries!!! youre good

[vagrant ice]

the definition of star citizen

[queen fossil]

Naxx out hyyyyype

[wispy meadow]

What's star citizen?

[honest cypress]

Soon or very soon ?

[pulsar tinsel]

Soon™️

[queen fossil]

Soon

[vagrant ice]

Oh, it's a scifi MMO in space, but you don't wanna know about it, really

[wispy meadow]

Ah okay

[proven temple]

It ain't worth your time.

[vagrant ice]

Yeah

[pulsar tinsel]

I’m very keen for a comfort game

So very keen

[vagrant ice]

9 years in develpoment and still in alpha smh

[gritty veldt]

yes,, and a comfort game to play with the homies no less

[queen fossil]

Marry your homies an kiss em gn

[pulsar tinsel]

Star Citizen is very ambitious to the point where unless it’s constantly in development it won’t deliver to some people

it’s core gameplay is there just it has the width of an ocean and the depth of a paddle pool

and for some thats enough

[sand barn]

Did you say you were sad? Here, have some vegetables and let's go fishing

[vagrant ice]

true, too much ambitious for its own good sadly

[autumn trench]

wasn't it also that its so overdeveloped that no ones computer could really actually run it?

[pulsar tinsel]

I think Palia is ambitious but it’s definitely achievable

[queen fossil]

I hope the game has good fishing mechanics I have been dying for a game with fun fishing

Thats all I really want

[vagrant ice]

mine can 😌

[umbral ferry]

It might be they're aiming not to run on current PCs but for PCs available in a few years :p Though optimization will probably still be made

[sand barn]

A game so advanced they develop it for technology that doesn't exist yet

[pulsar tinsel]

They’ve said it’ll be similar to Stardew Valley but without the crazy difficult curve

Which I’m fine with

[ionic portal]

I want to mount a big fish on my wall

[vagrant ice]

it's more like it's not optimized

[autumn trench]

they've been saying that for 9 years though 😂

[sand barn]

I figured. Was just making a joke 😬

[pulsar tinsel]

The devs have said each system will feel interactive but not overly complex. Which I’m certainly here for. Palia seems to me like the casual game to go to when you’re having a bad day or work was tough

[vagrant ice]

oh right, sorry, i'm a little dense, i'll go grab my coffe 😅

[umbral ferry]

They have a lot to develop, with not that big a budget

[sand barn]

Hahaha. Don't forget the coffee! And definitely don't apologize, aaaallll guuuuud

[vagrant ice]

i really hope i can do that, that's my goal with this game tbh

[sand barn]

I'm just looking forward to randomly giving my neighbors food

[vast wyvern]

what's your goal @vagrant ice ?

[patent adder]

Hey it's me, your neighbor!

[vagrant ice]

truee, i want to share my potatoes

[sand barn]

"Did someone say... CAKE?!"

[gritty veldt]

playing elf on the shelf but with a cabbage or somthn

[autumn trench]

aren't, weren't they in a constant state of crowdfunding? it's been a while since I checked on their site out of curiosity, anyway. I know its not palia related ^^;

[gritty veldt]

just put it around their property

[pulsar tinsel]

I just want to be able to log on, have a happy time with my neighbours giving each other gifts and then go on an adventure somewhere so I can have a brief escape to a bad day

[sand barn]

The uhh.. tomato on a plate-o ?

[vast wyvern]

i love that @pulsar tinsel !

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah, I’m going have them best neighbours

[vagrant ice]

to be able to come home, turn on my pc and distract of all the bad things or the stress by playing a game chilling and talking with people, just that, peace and calm

[crimson scaffold]

Deff agree matt's cat
i just want a mmo for once to have a really chill atmosphere

[vagrant ice]

i sure hope we can do that one day

[gritty veldt]

yeah i cant come up with anything better so yes

[sand barn]

Howdy neighbor, I got a grand choice of food today. Cabbages, potatoes and beans. No, I am not trying to start toxic warfare

[worn oracle]

A way to unwind would be amazing, especially after a stressful day of working a job you don’t love :, )

[patent adder]

If I can have an aquarium I'll be happy. I'll be happy either way but still 🤤

[pulsar tinsel]

Sorry if replying to you pings your but I just wanted to say that I really admire the project and effort y’all are putting in I can’t wait to see where this goes :))

[worn oracle]

^

[umbral ferry]

You can disable pinging on replies

[sand barn]

All the developers seem so nice

[vast wyvern]

oh thanks! Yeah we're really trying to make a game, y'all will enjoy!

[pulsar tinsel]

Not often I catch the devs and I wanted to thank him

[vagrant ice]

bc they are 😌

[patent adder]

Wholesome community for some wholesome devs

[vast wyvern]

yeah, since the announcement we've been super BUSY

[pulsar tinsel]

They do!!

[gritty veldt]

god i cant even imagine

[narrow ginkgo]

i just saw the announcement and this game looks fantastic uwu

[gritty veldt]

welcome!!

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeaaah, game development is a rough slippery slope

[vast wyvern]

welcome!

[patent adder]

🤔 did you change your name

[narrow ginkgo]

ty!

[patent adder]

Welcome friend ☺️

[gritty veldt]

I DID thank you for noticing ehehehe

[sand barn]

We're going to enjoy your game so hard

[patent adder]

You just wanted to be welcomed by me again, I understand😜

[vast wyvern]

I HOPE SOOO

[sand barn]

I HOPE SO TOO

Why are we screaming

[queen fossil]

I've never found Stardew fishing hard them saying that really confused me tbh

[proven temple]

Excitement

[junior bison]

We all hope so too

[gritty veldt]

u can think that ig lol

[patent adder]

Yeah I'm not sure

[round anvil]

There is no doubt

[vast wyvern]

What did you play it on?

[narrow ginkgo]

this pre alpha is boutta be the hottest drop of 2021 so far

calling it

[vast wyvern]

YOOOOO 🔥

[queen fossil]

PC with a controller

[patent adder]

Teasing, don't worry. 😆

[vagrant ice]

i hope you are all getting some rest, neleimour did say that no devs would be harmed in the process 😂

[vast wyvern]

ah, yeah. It was tough on Switch

[junior bison]

dropping so hot the internet turns to glass 🔥

[gritty veldt]

ik ik i am just awkward lmao

[vast wyvern]

hahahaha, i mean she was pretty tired. Y'all blew this place UP!

[proven temple]

Ah is it? I just got it on switch and already played it on pc. Is it a big difference?

[patent adder]

You are still welcome in my neighborhood, it's okay.

[queen fossil]

Makes sense. But honestly if it's more intuitive than press a button or hold a button down, I may be satisfied

[crimson scaffold]

Deff, this my most looking forward to game of this year, else next year. whenever it drops

[vagrant ice]

i can imagine yeah, a lot of people in such a sort time

[pulsar tinsel]

Anyone else just like an amateur coder and just desperately wants to help but knows that they’d be useless

[vagrant ice]

meeee hahahaha

[proven temple]

I tried coding once. Never again.

[pulsar tinsel]

Yaaaasss sammmee

[vast wyvern]

just more difficult

[round anvil]

ay

[gritty veldt]

no one:
me at 3 am playing stardew w/ mouse n keyboard trying to get a lava eel: click click click click pause click click click pause click click click pause click click

[junior bison]

coding was part of my study.... haven't touched it since that 1 time we had it, almost gave up on life hahaha

[vagrant ice]

learning c++ in university, still don't know anything

[proven temple]

I got it on first try👀

[patent adder]

Nope. I'm useless, just very friendly☺️

[pulsar tinsel]

Friendly is nice, I like friendly

[junior bison]

you a big bully

[patent adder]

Hey what's up 😄

[vast wyvern]

don't worry, I'm useless too. I'm in Production, so I don't do much, haah

[proven temple]

I had to code my own website for school and without any real explanation on how to do it.

[gritty veldt]

it took me two bc i was so surprised i actually got one on the line the first time LOL those dudes are speedy

[junior bison]

yikes

[narrow ginkgo]

coding is extremely fulfilling but very difficult

[patent adder]

Spreading lies is bad 🥺

[sand barn]

Useless?! Lies! Friendliness is not useless. Imma be triggered on your behalf

[round anvil]

whats up!

[dire fox]

Nobody is useless D:

[novel plank]

Tried learning python and gave up once they tried to make me do math 💀

[somber oriole]

I never came further than the "Hello World" headline in html.

[junior bison]

true words

[radiant iris]

Coding isn't all that difficult. Once you get the hang of logic, it's all syntax after that point.

[pulsar tinsel]

Just cause I’m curious I know y’all are using UE4, but what language?

[proven temple]

Too close to home...

[pulsar tinsel]

Hehehe

[vagrant ice]

hey nobody is useless here, everyone has a purpose and makes a difference

[patent adder]

Nawh it's okay!

[pulsar tinsel]

Yes!!

[vast wyvern]

oh man, I couldn't tell you. I'm terrible with that stuff. I'd say C- and it'd be C++ or something.

[dire fox]

I think it's hard for some people, not everyone has the inclination towards it.

[radiant iris]

It's C++

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah thought so!!

[patent adder]

Having a good time with all my friends here 😌

[novel plank]

My purpose is being the designated movie night hoster for discords and being an avid lover of open world mmorpg games 😭

[junior bison]

i know it's not my place to ask, and you might not know. But have there been talk about moving to UE5?

[sand barn]

That's kind of been answered in the Google doc !

[patent adder]

That's a good purpose

[gritty veldt]

that sounds lovely!! i am sure you are appreciated ❤️

in fact i appreciate you

[round anvil]

#❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha

[novel plank]

I’ve literally made a folder to group the discords that belong to either games in development or fan made games in development

to keep track of them

[junior bison]

sadly hasn't had time to read it due to study

[patent adder]

Read faster

[hot bough]

I believe there has. It's using one of the later UE4 releases which could make upgrading easier but right now it's likely going to UE4. The running, compiled FAQ you'll find linked in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha has that answer as well as a lot more.

[vast wyvern]

Yeah i don't know for the game, but man i'd love to look into it. There's a ton of cool stuff!

[remote moss]

they said they're using the latest version of UE4, so moving to UE5 is hopefully not gonna be a big problem, if they'll plan to move

[vagrant ice]

the ue5 features presentation blew my mind

[pulsar tinsel]

Sarah when’s the next movie night

[novel plank]

so far I’m waiting on a fan made version of Free Realms (10/10 game I played as a kid) a fan made version of pixie hollow (another 10/10 from when I was an even younger kid), hogwarts legacy, and this lovely game.. palia <3_<3

[vagrant ice]

the nanite and lumen systems seem so futuristic

[woven mason]

the nanite system blew my mind

[blazing mesa]

omg same

[novel plank]

unsure I’m currently about to start a new job and am waiting to get my schedule :/ mostly night hours I’ve heard though

[junior bison]

nanite is ground breaking

[pulsar tinsel]

I remember Free Realms!!

[round anvil]

UE5 will definetly change the game for developers

[novel plank]

Free realms was just toooo good I loved it

[pulsar tinsel]

It was very good fun

[novel plank]

Sucked when they got rid of it but this fan made version looks like it’s gonna be nice

[gritty veldt]

oh im also starting a new job soon!! congrats :3

[patent adder]

One of.. well me! I'm nights too ☺️

[novel plank]

ooo congrats for you as well !!

[vagrant ice]

like, how the mesh work is gonna change so much with nanite, games are gonna improve a ton and developers are gonna have to complicate less, all good

[hidden scroll]

Free Realms was the good stuff

[novel plank]

By nights I mean 5pm-1am potentially (I treasure my sleep I won’t be happy)

[patent adder]

Oh those are like the worst hours 🥺

[novel plank]

The domo backpacks and hoverboards tho ...

[hidden scroll]

I remember a lot of people asked me how I got a ox head mask in Free realms

[pulsar tinsel]

Hahaha, that’s some crazy hours

[vast wyvern]

Never played Free Realms

[novel plank]

It was so good it was like a kid’s version of WoW

[pulsar tinsel]

It was kind of like fable meets wizards 101

[novel plank]

Except you could switch professions whenever you pleased

Wizard101 is still amazing I still play sometimes 😅

[vagrant ice]

i think the first mmo i played was club penguin 🤔

[pulsar tinsel]

We all played club penguin, I’m sure of it

[proven temple]

Oop. I did not.

[novel plank]

I didn’t play club penguin because I played webkinz and pixiehollow 😌

[junior bison]

i didn't, i played habbo hotel instead

[pulsar tinsel]

any fan of club penguin has stumbled in on Palia

[gritty veldt]

the fact that club penguin is an mmo,,,, that is very funny to me for some reason

[pulsar tinsel]

awww maaaann

[round anvil]

habbo hotel here

[pulsar tinsel]

people letting me down

[vagrant ice]

you should have, it was so much funn

[cyan basin]

Never heard of club penguin

[remote moss]

me neither, europe kid lol

[pulsar tinsel]

Either a joke or showing my age

[vagrant ice]

yep, but it's true 😂

[proven temple]

I played other games at the time. Club penguin wasn't that popular around that time in my country

[gritty veldt]

tried it once, didnt vibe lol

[cyan basin]

I'm probably older than you, lol

[pulsar tinsel]

Webkinz!!

[cyan basin]

never heard of webkinz either

[pulsar tinsel]

Hahaha, I’m mid 20s

[cyan basin]

LOL

[novel plank]

There was this 3D hamster game I vaguely remember but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of it :/

[cyan basin]

Younger than my kids, that explains it

[proven temple]

Oh god I know what you're talking about but don't remember the name either.

[novel plank]

I remember a website owned by Nickelodeon called MonkeyQuest which was also pretty good

[pulsar tinsel]

Hahahaha

[vast wyvern]

oh i remember Monkey Quest

my little brother played it

[novel plank]

I tried searching it up forever ago and couldn’t find anything and it made me sad

[vagrant ice]

yeah i remember habbo and other games were much more popular on other places

[cyan basin]

I'm going to go over here on my porch rocking chair and yell at people to get off my lawn

[novel plank]

MonkeyQuest was pretty good I don’t remember it in great detail though

[pulsar tinsel]

Anyone play RuneScape back in the day

[gritty aspen]

heyyy

[junior bison]

played Runescape since 2006

[pulsar tinsel]

Loved it, OSRS only though for me

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wake-up-morning-morning-sleepy-gif-21844360

[vast wyvern]

howdy

[junior bison]

I still use my Original account so it's RS3 for me

Too much nostalgia to let it go

[novel plank]

I wonder how the character customization on palia is gonna work - customizing my character is one of my favorite things in video games 😭

[junior bison]

Funny enough i haven't maxed yet. The most i have to my account is when i gained quest cape in 2018

[vagrant ice]

truee, that's an important part for me as well

[novel plank]

I always make mine resemble myself IRL so it kinda feels like I’m... actually in the game

[rigid schooner]

check the pinned docu in ask the team channel, there are some things already answered

[vagrant ice]

it's nice to feel like all characters are different

[cyan basin]

Awesome name, btw. They say that all clothing, hair styles, and hair color will be available to both body styles

[gritty veldt]

"It is going to be extensive! But it may seem limited at the onset of the Alpha"

[brisk ivy]

I don't generally care too much about character customization, as long as I can achieve a 'not stupid' look, but I suppose that's because most games I play are combat related.

[junior bison]

indeed, i personally think that's important in any game that is community based

to give the players a sense of individuality

[vagrant ice]

i'm actually more on the contrary, i like to make them as different from me as i can, but i can understand that it gives you a sense of inmersion in that way

[novel plank]

Right back at ya ;) love how you spell it correctly also

[pulsar tinsel]

I'm so excited for just body types and no gender

[gritty veldt]

theyre definitely going for a lot of customization options, which i am very excited about

[vagrant ice]

yep, vr chat is a good example

[pulsar tinsel]

I'm going to make the best character

sorry everyone else

[rigid schooner]

I hope theres not gonna be some P2W in game shop

or lets say ingame shop at all 😄

[cyan basin]

I am just wanting a tiny bit more lore before making my character's backstory, What do humans know about where they came from when they step out of the creation into the tutorial

[junior bison]

Yeah, then again... maybe not THAT MUCH freedom, or the game will turn very not family friendly very quick lol

[novel plank]

Only game I can think of with a huge amount of freedom like that is IMVU ..

[zinc plaza]

[vagrant ice]

that's also true 😂 , i know why you say that sadly

[cyan basin]

Once I know that, I can form a backstory, and that will inform my choices in what my character will look like

[junior bison]

😂 cluck cluck follow da queen

[gritty veldt]

god i just realized theres two sarahs and i got REALLY confused for a sec when i saw "sarah, Sarah are typing"

[proven temple]

I had the same thing just now^

[cyan basin]

LOL, I'm red, they are Orange

[novel plank]

yeah mine is lowercase too lazy to capitalize it

[gritty veldt]

im illiterate so i only pay attention to pfp

[queen fossil]

Not a proper noun kind of girl I like it

[novel plank]

what can I say 😏

[queen fossil]

😏

[vagrant ice]

hey sarah, ha, now you don't know who i'm refering to 😙

[cyan basin]

I have had it drilled into me, capitolization is important

[novel plank]

If I was making a username I’d use a capital letter but for discord .. ehh

[pulsar tinsel]

lowercase sarah obviously

[rigid schooner]

imagine if they would be like - hey guys... btw... pre alpha starts right now, check ur emails for invites 😄 I think things would explode

[junior bison]

not capitalize it? that wasn't very american of you 😂

[pulsar tinsel]

same

[vagrant ice]

oh sh*t you are right

[cyan basin]

I give my kids grief for not using capitols in their passwords when we are gaming together

[novel plank]

haha true I’m a rebel I guess

[junior bison]

good parenting

[cyan basin]

zir are trying to slide under the radar

[pulsar tinsel]

you know what I want which i hadn't even realised I wanted until now

[autumn trench]

The Orange sarah and The Red Sarah, sounds like a fun book title

[novel plank]

quite certain her name is pink .. a dark pink

[pulsar tinsel]

👉 👈 🥺 pre, Pre-Alpha friend neighbourhood

[queen fossil]

Rise of the Sarahs

[autumn trench]

the Mauve Sarah then

[cyan basin]

its funny, online I am known as either Trixie, or Sarah, neither is my real name and I have problems actually answering to my real name, lol

[vagrant ice]

they could create a neighbourhood of sarahs

[queen fossil]

I prefer Freya mostly and thats not my name either lol

[celest maple]

dropped you a follow sarah!

[novel plank]

I literally signed up with multiple emails and did the surveys each time and had giant paragraphs I rly wanna get into pre-alpha 😭😭

[cyan basin]

I say its red because there is a true pink role, or a lightish red

[vagrant ice]

i wish

[rigid schooner]

that happens to almost everybody who spends a lot of time online 😄

[novel plank]

on twitch? If so thanks so much !!

[junior bison]

if you get multiple, please share

[celest maple]

Big yeet!

[gritty veldt]

the other day one of the online homies used my real name in our server and i was literally like "who tf are they talking about"

[vague remnant]

Change your legal name

[cyan basin]

Yeah, I took Sarah to hide from people who knew me as Trixie, lol

[pulsar tinsel]

waaait you have twich sarah?? follow timmeee

[rigid schooner]

thats cheating ! 😄

[cyan basin]

Ingenius!

[junior bison]

THERE ARE NO RULES IN WAR! (there is but you know...)

[novel plank]

yesss I might have to slow down streaming because of the new job but I like playing minecraft, valorant, sea of thieves, Valheim, & other stuff

[celest maple]

Just the games I like to watch so dopeski

[cyan basin]

I actually thought of doing that, but was afraid I'd get multiple slots, then someone else wouldn't get one and I'd feel bad

[gritty veldt]

awh man but that means you might be taking keys away from someone else

[pulsar tinsel]

might mess around and come a Palia comfort streamer

[cyan basin]

SEE!

[novel plank]

but maybe u can give keys away if you have extra

[cyan basin]

I'm not the only weird one, lol

[pulsar tinsel]

once it's allowed to be streamed

[pulsar tinsel]

hahaha

[novel plank]

Once it’s allowed to be streamed u bet imma just stream it all the time

[vagrant ice]

you'll have to give them the email too then lol

[novel plank]

I’d assume it’s a code or something though

[pulsar tinsel]

yeah, probably a code

[junior bison]

sounds like lots of fun, imma drop a follow

[vagrant ice]

yeah but if they ask you for your email i imagine you'll have to register with that email for it to work

[novel plank]

ehhh who knows guess we’ll find out :)

[vagrant ice]

or maybe not dk

[novel plank]

Thanks so much !!!

[vagrant ice]

yep hahah

[celest maple]

So excited for this game!!

[novel plank]

I started streaming back in March it hasn’t been that long yet haha

[pulsar tinsel]

I followed you btw sarah

😮 only in march!! you're doing so well!

[cyan basin]

I want to know exactly what a 'server booster' is, lol

[pulsar tinsel]

you've got like 380 something

[novel plank]

my heart’s all warm n fuzzy seeing that tysm 🥰🥰

yeah it shocks me actually LOL

[pulsar tinsel]

people pay money through discord Nitro

[gritty veldt]

yesss hype hype hype!!

[vast wyvern]

Can't wait to see y'all stream the game! When you can, of course

[cyan basin]

Ahhhh, that makes sense, thank you

[pulsar tinsel]

I just wanna support my Palia buddies

[vagrant ice]

you pay a fee too give a "boost" to the server, when the server has x number of boosts, it levels up

[pulsar tinsel]

you're all my friends now

[patent adder]

I too am excited ☺️

[novel plank]

Y’all are gonna see me building a super cute little farm and house which I have honed my skills from Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, and Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town

[gritty veldt]

lol i couldnt help but interpret that last part as vaguely threatening haha

[vagrant ice]

yeah not in the prealpha lol 😂

[vast wyvern]

hahahahahahaha, not at all

[plush otter]

Rewatch the trailer > re-read the Faq doc > go to discord server
And repeat.

[novel plank]

oh and Minecraft of course, cant forget my experience from that

[pulsar tinsel]

honestly

I just the website hourly

just to see if I've read everything

[celest maple]

Should try out eco I think you'd like that game @novel plank

[plush otter]

It do be like thay

[novel plank]

This is what I’ve been doing ever since I saw this for the first time on tiktok the day it released

[plush otter]

Lolll

[novel plank]

the game is called Eco?

[vast wyvern]

there are some articles I've seen that have more information too 👀

[cyan basin]

I'm going to be a very, very boring player, farming, fishing, cooking, forcing passers by to eat my cooking, luring young children into my basement to fatten them up and shove them in an oven... er... wait

[vast wyvern]

that's a perfect player

[celest maple]

@novel plank Mhm! I've been with them since pre alpha kickstarter days and its alot of fun

Very minecraft like

[novel plank]

so basically ur the witch from Hansel n gretel... good to know

[junior bison]

I might get back into streaming for palia hmmm Wanna use my emotes more :LUL:

[cyan basin]

lol

[vagrant ice]

wait....

[pulsar tinsel]

Oh I've read those too if they're linked here. Trust me..

[novel plank]

I love using my twitch emotes I’m sad I can’t use them in here though :/

[gritty veldt]

haha sounds like my grandma!!

[junior bison]

saaameee, i have the cutest red panda emotes

[celest maple]

POGGERS

[vagrant ice]

the last part too? 👀

[vast wyvern]

RED PANDA EMOTES

[pulsar tinsel]

Oh I already know that I'm going to be the person that's handing out freebies to people and asking my neighbours if they have some fish or sugar for cooking so I can go and give out nice homely food

[vast wyvern]

i neeed to see them

[junior bison]

YES

[gritty veldt]

no comment (:

[novel plank]

Red pandas are adorable mine are just a chibi that looks like me LOL

[cyan basin]

I know that the more you cook, the better you cook, the higher level you cook, the better your food is

[vagrant ice]

hahaha, fair enough

[junior bison]

I CAN'T SEND THEM! want to see them you have to be my friend apparently xD

[novel plank]

Sounds like SAO

[cyan basin]

soooooo, I'm going to be the one testing their inventory maximum systems

[vagrant ice]

omg, truee

asuna lvl 100 cooking skills

[junior bison]

chibi emotes are super cute

[novel plank]

yes exactly what I was thinking LOL

[cyan basin]

I have extensive experience in overpacking

[vagrant ice]

then we need s tier ingredients too

[novel plank]

just u wait imma be hoarding all the stuff I can find

[vast wyvern]

well darn ☹️

[novel plank]

just like I do in BOTW and genshin

[gritty veldt]

oh god just thinking about cooking and like,,, actually being able to gather and then cook and then SHARE or trade or whatever with people,,,,,, im getting emotional

[vagrant ice]

like rabbits 👀

[junior bison]

😦

[cyan basin]

I have not seen anything about quality ingredients yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the system

[pulsar tinsel]

I want the option to be able to set up a 'stall' just like give things out in the newbie area

[cyan basin]

become a really good hunter, fisher, and farmer to support your cooking habit

[vagrant ice]

i hope so

[pulsar tinsel]

just be able to like have it as an emote or something

[vast wyvern]

why is everyone SO NICE

[junior bison]

friends for 5 sec for the emotes? then you can delete me again afterwards lmao

[pulsar tinsel]

CAUSE YOU MADE A NICE GAME

[novel plank]

because the music in trailer gives off nice vibes

[pulsar tinsel]

TAKE MY KINDNESS

[hot bough]

I'm trying to think of the last social oriented MMO I played. I think Sims Online. I used to love just making garden gnomes for hours and chatting with everyone on a property doing the same thing.

[cyan basin]

Because we have waited DECADES for a community based game like this

[vagrant ice]

let's hope it stays this way 😂

[naive trout]

Because only the nice will survive in Palia.

[pulsar tinsel]

I just want a community based game where people are kind

[gritty veldt]

because einar

[vast wyvern]

Awwww, you guys are so great

[cyan basin]

Durus, there's an TSO server....

[novel plank]

the mean ppl will be overwhelmed with niceness and leave

[vagrant ice]

palia, survival of the kindest

[stable oar]

Social games without toxic PvP usually have the best communities. :D

[naive trout]

Besides, omg You know how LONG I have been waiting for Stardew as an MMO? My gosh, Its like the best combo ever ❤️

[pulsar tinsel]

I WANT EVERYONE TO COME LIVE IN MY SAFESPACE NEIGHBOURHOOD

[vast wyvern]

i like it!

[vast wyvern]

it's the reason I took the job!

[hot bough]

Yeah, I've looked at it from afar. I'm not sure it's a rabbit hole I could escape from if I went down it. 🙂

[plain condor]

This 🙂 Toxic behavior is what usually makes me stop playing games

[vast wyvern]

So are there other communities that are similarly nice?

[pulsar tinsel]

for reeeeaalll

[novel plank]

Pixiehollow community so nice and freerealms too

[pulsar tinsel]

yeah same. I just want cute friends that help each other

[vagrant ice]

stardew community, animal crossing community...

[cyan basin]

Stardew discord is pretty nice

[gritty veldt]

sdv is pretty nice in my experience!!

[tight star]

are there multiplayer games that have similarly nice communities?

[novel plank]

Animal crossing and stardew are very nice communities I can imagine story of seasons community is nice also

[sand barn]

Ther are definitely nice communities around

[pulsar tinsel]

FFXIV is pretty wholesome too

[hot bough]

I mean, it has it's share of trolls/toxicity but I've generally been impressed with the FFXIV community.

[celest maple]

Did anyone play World's Adrift when it was around?

[pulsar tinsel]

I did!!

[brisk ivy]

In the end, I think how nice people are in the game will ultimately depend on if the game lets people avoid conflict. I've seen MMO communities turn sour fast when it comes to meta gaming.

[plain condor]

Ragnarok Online also tends to have nice players

[cyan basin]

ingame GW2 is generally friendly and helpful, as long as you stay away from the main cities and anything PVP or raid related

[vagrant ice]

true, also i just tried it for a month, it gave me good vibes

[neat monolith]

I is hyped to make comfy house

[naive trout]

If my work in coding was better, I would have happily gave the dev lead my portfolio 😶 Unfortunately Im really only good in Ruby, JS, and Web stuff. And nobody considers HTML/CSS real coding lol

[orchid veldt]

For an MMO, both GW2 and FF14 communities are pretty neat

[novel plank]

Genshin players are so nice

[vast wyvern]

oh man, RO!

[pulsar tinsel]

If you find the right server and company, you're in for a lovely time

[gritty veldt]

dare i say,,, hollowknight question mark?? mostly the community is just memes about silksong at this point tho

[brisk ivy]

GW2 has a great community for world PvE and somewhat WvW, but once you step into ranked PvP, oh boy.

[novel plank]

It’s rly almost 4am and I was planning on sleeping around 2:30 ... love how discord does this to me

[hidden pumice]

Do we know when the pre alpha is gonna come out?

[plain condor]

I'm currently chilling on a private server named Origins 😄 Low rate and super kind players. It's quite good to chill in before this is released 😄

[pulsar tinsel]

yeah Hollow Knight is good too

[naive trout]

I miss the old days of Tera Online 😦 Like 2012 Tera

[vast wyvern]

#❔│game-faqs

[novel plank]

My dad played Tera LOL- and he helped create LOTR online

[vagrant ice]

except for the cheating thing i would say so

[vast wyvern]

whaaaaa? So cooool

[gritty veldt]

nice i needed some backup bc its been a while since i hoped in the disc and i dont really keep up with whats goin gon besides occasionally chekcing for you know waht

[vagrant ice]

lol, that's so cool actually

[novel plank]

It’s great because if I wanna create an account nowadays with his name I get tons of lovely stuff 🥰🥰

[gritty veldt]

i have no idea what that is and tbh idc lol

[cyan basin]

I'm counting on my experience and skills as QA for EA (back with Sims 2) to rocket me to the top of Alpha testers (once I get an invite) and the number of bug reports you will get, properly formatted, too.

[gritty veldt]

it reeks of speedrunning

[vast wyvern]

he's an old school dev. And here I thought I was with 16 years

[pulsar tinsel]

hahaha yeah I pop in and pop out of the disc for hollow knight but it's happy when it wants to be

[vagrant ice]

nah, you are right in not caring, it's just that a speedrunner cheated and the community divided until it was demonstrated as true

[vast wyvern]

oh nice!

[novel plank]

Oh no no no not dev he did the cyber security type stuff and networking to make sure it could stay online

[vast wyvern]

ahhh, gotcha

[gritty veldt]

yike

[plain condor]

A QA engineer walks into a bar and orders 1 beer, 99 bears, -1 beer 😄

[cyan basin]

LOL

[vast wyvern]

I was in QA for years. I both loved it and hated it, haha

[cyan basin]

99 lines of bugs in the code, 99 lines of bugs, take one down, patch it around, 12344 lines of bugs in the code

QA is never appreciated enough

[vast wyvern]

We REALLY try to make sure everyone at S6 is a part of the development. QA, marketing, everyone

[plain condor]

I've worked with some crafty QA eningeers before 😛

[ember swallow]

I just noticed that I'm not used to US timed chats anymore

[vagrant ice]

when you fix a hole it creates 20 more, code is like a hydra

[plain condor]

Oh I appreciate QA plenty as a developer. They find things... that shouldn't be possible 😛

[pulsar tinsel]

: D this makes me happy

[ember swallow]

so much to read in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art over the night

[naive trout]

A coder walked into a bar. The bar proceeded to smack him with 17 errors, the shelves fell apart, and the coder said "Not again!!"

[cyan basin]

We were taught to write a bug as if explaining the steps to a 3 year old, because at 2 in the morning, after the 7th pot of coffee, that's what the devs need

[vast wyvern]

YES YES YES

[cyan basin]

See, we get it!

[pulsar tinsel]

bug testing is rewarding too

[cyan basin]

so when you get inventory overload bugs, that will be me

[hot bough]

I think this discord defies any specific timezone. Only in the last 24 hours have I been able to see actual names appear at the bottom, rather than "Several people are typing." However, I do still see it quite often. 😉

[novel plank]

I bet if I properly learned how to bug test I could be good at it

[pulsar tinsel]

it's nice to feel like you're helping out with something that seemed seemingly impossible to test for

[ember swallow]

I wrote my manuals that way^^

[soft rain]

QA is hugely underappreciated. What happens when you let a bunch of mechanical engineers coordinate a new ERP system for the company? "Oh it's just an interface that needs to be developed, it'll be easy".

Yes, the synchronization between two databases with completely different structures, easy. FML It's still tossing an error every two transactions

[celest maple]

It would be cool if everyone that bug tested got like a ant hat or something

[stable oar]

Oh great and mighty Eris, what's the secret for being considered for the PA?

[novel plank]

Or bumblebee wings as a decorative cosmetic

[celest maple]

yeees

[ember swallow]

haha I will take the to many items in house

[gritty veldt]

sorry, gaming industry noob here but what is qa?

[plain condor]

I believe there's a joke about a mathematician, engineer and a developer riding in a car on a mountain. On the way down the breaks gives out and miraculous they all survive. The mathematician calculates the probability that this would happen, the engineer takes the car apart and finds the reason. The programmer nods and asks to do the ride again to see if we can produce the same results.

[vast wyvern]

being yourself!

[cyan basin]

I found out that, in sims 2 Seasons, once you put more than 650,000 apples in a fridge, it goes negative and corrupts the lot to the point you had to bulldoze it

[soft rain]

Quality Assurance

[stable oar]

Quality assurance

[gritty veldt]

ah eye see thankyou both for your responses

[novel plank]

Not even sure how you’d think of doing that LOL

[vast wyvern]

we're here to help!

[vast wyvern]

you do it cuz people will do it, haha

[brisk ivy]

I'll be interested in how this game treats open world resources.

A lot of older MMOs have shared resources, so when you gather something other people can't get it. Almost always results in someone getting mad at another person.

I saw a bug net in the trailer. Might be kind of odd if someone could run around and chase all the bugs away.

[cyan basin]

Because we tested everything

[ember swallow]

I placed to many items on a lot and cuased server crash

[soft rain]

Anyone got some QA tips btw? Still very much can use some.

[novel plank]

But ... why would someone put 650k apples in a fridge 💀💀💀

[soft rain]

Someone, some day, WILL

[vast wyvern]

you're an apple farmer

[stable oar]

So they're CRISPY

[ember swallow]

remember what you did the last 5min

[novel plank]

Fair enough

[cyan basin]

apples were the easiest thing to get, it works with any item or combination of items

[vast wyvern]

what kinds of tips are you looking for?

[ember swallow]

if you encounter a bug, you have to tell the devs how you produce it

[soft rain]

Basically how to sweep through all possibilities, since with what we have right now... there's a ton due to the different structures in both systems.

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah, when I was developing a mod for The Sims 3, if I spun the character creator ANTI-CLOCKWISE, it'd crash

[cyan basin]

I told the devs then, and I tell you all now, take what you think the maximum a player will do for (insert activity here) then double it, add two zeroes on the end, and double it again, that should be your starting point

[pulsar tinsel]

still never found out why that happened...

[novel plank]

🤨

[tight star]

adding onto that, also trying things over again and being able to reproduce the bug is helpful! it's hard to troubleshoot when things are intermittent

[cyan basin]

We knew whenever they were messing with the phone, just mousing over it sometimes would crash the game

[vagrant ice]

players alway defy devs expectatives that's for sure

[novel plank]

watch my neighborhood in this game consist of hobbit holes if it’s possible 😭

[junior bison]

What kind of pets do you guys think will be in the game? I hope we will have red pandas! i need at least 100 to follow me around

[cyan basin]

btw, this was all 12 years ago and not under NDA or giving away anything that isn't already known

[vast wyvern]

i was working on (I'm in charge of the world and Expression on Palia) some systems and said to QA there's no way they could get to this area or whatever, and of course, they did and broke the game

as a dev always assume testers can break everything

[cyan basin]

QA likes a challenge

[shy ocean]

there's no such thing as "this cannot happen" in dev lol

[gritty veldt]

i mean ive read the sims patch notes,,,, i dont doubt that its a secret lol

[stark wasp]

Watch me get stuck building stuff

In this game

[vagrant ice]

yeah that's right, someone will always find a way 😂

[naive trout]

Why am I on this server at 4am 🤣

[junior bison]

and assume players will always find something to complain about

[cyan basin]

Yeah, these things were all pre-release and fixed, they were jjust hilarious when it happened

[novel plank]

I’m asking myself the same thing

[vast wyvern]

I will guarantee you'll find bugs in the pre-alpha. What I hope is that it's not game-breaking for you

[cyan basin]

invisible fire was a fun one

[ember swallow]

I love doing DAU tests

[naive trout]

Intentionally or accidentally? 😛

[stark wasp]

Wow.. lot of people really want to play this game huh.. hello fellow gamers

[celest maple]

SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME

[cyan basin]

if it is game breaking, trust us to let you know

[vast wyvern]

yes

[gritty veldt]

hello fellow gamer

[vast wyvern]

howdy!

[vast wyvern]

👋🏿

[stark wasp]

And yeah criticism is important and complaints on pre-alpha.. even in full release

[novel plank]

I’m trynna continue to be social but my brain is mesh 😭

[junior bison]

So eris... how much money under the table for you to push Red pandas on to the developers as a pet?

[shy ocean]

some bugs can be fun enough that they end up being considered a feature instead

[cyan basin]

By the way, Eris, cracks whip you are supposed to be in your cubicle!

[vast wyvern]

get some sleep!

[vagrant ice]

yeah if it's a bug that corrupts game files... good luck hahaha

[vast wyvern]

hahahahahahaha

[stark wasp]

Spoken like a true bethesda

[gritty veldt]

get that good rest n rejuvenation

[fluid jungle]

Can we have pet battles?

[vast wyvern]

i could tell stories...

[naive trout]

Imagine a developer who created a game, and it didnt have bugs the first time around? 😳 🥺 Oh wait. That'll never happen. Pain

[fluid jungle]

Make the Golem fight like in that movie with Hugh Jackman

[vast wyvern]

OH NO, wait i'm in charge, haha

[junior bison]

💰

[cyan basin]

LOL

[hot bough]

That's the dream, right? Break the game as much as possible in the Alpha so it won't be game breaking when it's ready to be played by the masses. I absolutely love what I read on the team website (or maybe it was here): Alpha is alpha is alpha.

[foggy imp]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850276396390547466/850448354366062602/desconocido.gif

[vast wyvern]

EXACTLY

[pulsar tinsel]

Is that a challenge... Because I'm well known at breaking things and i will do it unintentionally

[plain condor]

If you develop a feature without bugs you kinda wonder whats wrong anyway 😛

[vast wyvern]

i love people like that!

[stark wasp]

Remember Wow? Yeah I read about the game breaking pandemic that happend..

[vast wyvern]

YES

[stark wasp]

Lmao that's fun

[celest maple]

bug catching contest when

[cyan basin]

Break it all day long, but its not a bug until you can reliably reproduce it!

[shy ocean]

if a feature has no bugs, it means that noone is using it

[fluid jungle]

Make a Dojo instead of a house and have it be like Kobra Kai. Except the Dojos are Chu vs Chappa

[vast wyvern]

you know they use that WoW pandemic as a case study, right?

[novel plank]

I like playing it safe but could DEFINITELY choose chaos if I wanted to

[pulsar tinsel]

Yesssss break BREAK BREAK

[naive trout]

Game: Has no bugs
Dev: *proceeds to check the last 2000 lines of code 17 times *

[novel plank]

and break everything in site

[fluid jungle]

Is there Chu in this Dojo? NO SENSEI CHAPPA!

[pulsar tinsel]

I've played many an alpha and pre-alpha's nothing will stop me from having my fun

[junior bison]

one bag not enough? you drive a hard bargain 💰 💰 💰

[stark wasp]

Yeah game theory right? Or are you talking about entirely different?

[vast wyvern]

💰 💰 💰 💰

[fluid jungle]

What if I name myself Nothing? Then I will stop you.

[vagrant ice]

i have found bugs in nintendo games, i think that's a big point for me

[junior bison]

DEAL!

[vast wyvern]

BOTH, they use it for Game Theory AND for real life situations

[naive trout]

Finding bugs is honestly fun

[ember swallow]

There should be prices for finding a bug in alpha, like a cute little bug statue for the house

[junior bison]

4 used money bags filled with potatos it is

[stark wasp]

Those who have found the most bugs in the game should get an achievement and title

[vast wyvern]

HEY WAIT

[novel plank]

Nah fill them with rice

[gritty veldt]

oh you just got scammed

[sand barn]

Hah, Eris git got

[cyan basin]

The epidemic 'experts' started ignoring the Blood Plague data 'because it won't happen like that in real life'. So the Universe said 'behold, Covid-19'

[junior bison]

YOU SAT THE TERMS! I JUST AGREED! Better follow through now!

[vagrant ice]

instead of pathfinder like in me, bugfinder

[plain condor]

As long as the reward isn't a physical bug 😄

[celest maple]

maybe eris is baiting everyone with "finding bugs" when its literally AC style bug collecting

[buoyant sinew]

This IS it. It's Been too long since my last alpha/beta testing on games 🤔

[stark wasp]

Yeah.. the Wow Pandemic is so life-like that they are using it to see how to prevent or minimize the effect of the pandemic right?

[naive trout]

No instead its a game breaking bug, but just for you 😉

[vast wyvern]

correct, yeah

[vast wyvern]

ROFL

[brisk ivy]

The WoW pandemic thing had some things that wouldn't exist in real life, but it was pretty interesting.

[novel plank]

That might be the first time I’ve seen someone say ROFL in ... 4 years

[vast wyvern]

I'm old OK

[brisk ivy]

Like NPCs who got the plague would never die from it and acted as carriers to the disease.

[pulsar tinsel]

Come join the bug catchers neighbourhood, we only catch game bugs though to make everyone’s experience better!!

[stark wasp]

They just took how it spreads.. and why it spreada

[cyan basin]

I expect that the top 10 Alpha bug writers (quality, not quantity) get a special plaque for their house

[hot bough]

Please remember to only break the game, not the kind developers. Breaking the devs is the job of project managers and producers. 😉

[mint hare]

"People wouldn't just go out and spread it on purpose or anything, that's ridiculous!"

a decade later

"Oh my..."

[soft rain]

Can I post a video to about the WoW Pandemic?

[vast wyvern]

that's ME!

[vast wyvern]

#💬│off-topic-chat yeah

[stark wasp]

A red flag right there

[hot bough]

Well, sure, but I mean you do order them doughnuts, right? 🙂

[vagrant ice]

the wow pandemic was a super interesting thing, i was fascinated when i first found out

[vast wyvern]

no cap, I actually do. I mean, when we're in the office

[sand barn]

Eris do you just go around breaking people? "You missed your deadline, you have chosen... cabbage"

[soft rain]

Put the link in #💬│off-topic-chat to a video for who's interested

[stark wasp]

Imagine if this game will have that same pandemic like in Wow.. lmao that will be fun

[naive trout]

special plaque reads: "I have much time and Im giving the devs even more work and existential crises. Im the most specialist bean"

[novel plank]

mmmm donuts... especially french cruellers from dunkin or regular glazed from krispy kreme... so good

[vast wyvern]

i'm actually super nice!

[odd iron]

👀

[gritty veldt]

i believe in krispy kreme supremacy

[vast wyvern]

Oh crap. I need to head to sleep. I have my early meeting

[vagrant ice]

imagine we had to do quarantine in the game, like everyone in their own houses

[vast wyvern]

y'all are great

[novel plank]

as u should... since it’s superior

[cyan basin]

I TOLD YOU!

[pulsar tinsel]

GO TO BED STINKY

[spring talon]

Sleep well! Have a great meeting!!

[hot bough]

I remember back in the early days of Wildstar's alpha, we'd order and send the team doughnuts during their crunch deadlines.

[vast wyvern]

thanks for joining!

[gritty veldt]

gn !!! sleep well

[naive trout]

Eris seems too nice! Its scary! Like.. Im so used to angy dev bois 😛 Gnight!

[soft rain]

Dont forget coffee

[mint hare]

If there is a plague, it better be cute, like someone's pet gets out and the world is suddenly flooded with puppies!

[novel plank]

have a wonderful night :)

[sand barn]

Noooo way, you seem super mean in this chat! Not nice at all

[celest maple]

bye eris!

[pulsar tinsel]

👋 bye Eris!!!

[stark wasp]

Yeah can't escape realit

[vagrant ice]

gn!!

[tight star]

good night!

[vast wyvern]

[stark wasp]

Cant wait to play with you guys

[sand barn]

[stark wasp]

Probably cant wait for you guys to kill me instead..

[novel plank]

plays game to escape reality ... reality catches up

[pulsar tinsel]

This is when everyone leaves isn’t it...

[hot bough]

Coffee... can't stand the taste of most of them, but I love the smell of it when it's brewing.

[cyan basin]

Ugh, my laundry is probably done, too

[vagrant ice]

sameee

[patent adder]

I can't wait to play with you too ☺️

[gritty veldt]

ehehheehehhe so exciting!!

[pulsar tinsel]

Saaammeeee

[vagrant ice]

happens more often that someone would think

[naive trout]

Talking to devs is like the best part about being part of a pre-game community tbh

[buoyant sinew]

I just woke up 🤔

[hot bough]

Nyah, I don't sleep (as much as I should). I'm always here though I am only now exiting lurker mode.

[stark wasp]

Yeah.. and if we just kept playing

[pulsar tinsel]

: D

[obtuse heart]

Wait till we all make fishing parties just to chill

[stark wasp]

We will be veterans

[pulsar tinsel]

Yesssss

[cyan basin]

I just have to close my laptop and get on my desktop to keep chatting, lol

[gritty veldt]

but of course

[novel plank]

I could spend hours fishing in Minecraft it’s a problem

[pulsar tinsel]

I already love this whole community

[cyan basin]

be back in a few minutes!

[mystic gale]

I'm going to get confused by orange Sarah and red Sarah

[vagrant ice]

fishing parties yaiiii

[stark wasp]

And we can boast about how we play in pre alpha and be a boomer in game

[pulsar tinsel]

See yah soon

[naive trout]

I hope when the game fully releases I'll be able to vibe with all yall

[cyan basin]

Orange sarah is not capitolized

[novel plank]

my name is lowercase & look at pfp it helps distinguish a difference

[mystic gale]

That is true enough

[obtuse heart]

If I get into alpha, I promise to end the last wipe with fishing

[gritty veldt]

WAIT YALL
theres a sora now too lmaooo what is this

[novel plank]

completely different name NopE

[pulsar tinsel]

I wonder if friend requests and party stuff will be in the Pre-Alpha

[stark wasp]

Hope this game values gameplay rather than take it all to graphics like most games nowadays

[vagrant ice]

hey not the same at least

[stark wasp]

Hello! Why

[pulsar tinsel]

cause if so, I want alll of us to hang out in PA

[gritty veldt]

ok but its similar and a funnie coincidence

[vagrant ice]

bc there are two sarahs already

[naive trout]

If there are friend requests in Pre Alpha and I get in, I agree, I want to hang out 🥺

[novel plank]

yes we can all go frolicking looking for bugs together

[gritty veldt]

similar to Sarah and sarah

[pulsar tinsel]

Me tooo 🥺

[vagrant ice]

well the graphics are also important, the ghibli inspiration won me over from the start

[dapper arrow]

may your DREAMS be DREAMS 😄

[gritty veldt]

yall were gonna party so hard

[stark wasp]

But mine is completely different.. words and pronounciation

[primal moth]

Who knows, there might be a bug that works only if X amount of player do stupid things at the same time and place 😛

[novel plank]

exactly

[pulsar tinsel]

:0

We have to test TOGETHER!!

[stark wasp]

Yeah but I hope they just dont focus on graphics onoy

[pulsar tinsel]

Forced friendship!! My favourite type

[obtuse heart]

Need people to do stupid stuff en masse? I HAVE FOUND MY CALLING

[ember swallow]

working for 5min, 100 missed messages in chat argghh

[naive trout]

If there isnt one bug that at least sends me clipping to the forbidden realm of death I will be a little disappointed 😛

[mystic gale]

I think if you look around at the devs' comments it becomes very clear they aren't just focusing on graphics

[gritty veldt]

yeah ik i just thought i was similar enought to be a silly coincidence, sorry if it annoyed or offended you

[stark wasp]

I got some experience with over the top graphics yet little gameplay... Ehem* mobile

[vagrant ice]

one thing guys, if it's a social game, i'm sorry but... i need booze in it

[obtuse heart]

Gotta go fast NYOOOOOOOM

[vagrant ice]

true true

[novel plank]

oh, sorry, you thought you had a choice on whether you could be part of the friendship or not? sorry to say that’s NOT the case, it’s forced.. time to squash some bugs

[obtuse heart]

What if you make the booze

[naive trout]

Chat vs Sonic. Chat wins

[old terrace]

is there a trading system in this game?

[obtuse heart]

potato booze best booze

[vagrant ice]

wait that's even better

[pulsar tinsel]

The taverns look pretty

I’m sure they’ll be something similar

[stark wasp]

Didnt get offended in one bit.. you are good mate

[novel plank]

the tavern immediately reminded me of WoW

[naive trout]

Moonshiners in Stardew: The MMO lol

[celest maple]

🦖

[gritty veldt]

yes, they wont give details other than its "unique"

[pulsar tinsel]

It did look very similar. I do find Classic WoW taverns cozy

[tight star]

the tavern kinda reminded me of that scene in disney's tangled 😛

[vagrant ice]

i hope haha, booze is important to throw some parties imo

[stark wasp]

Is there classes in this game btw?

[novel plank]

wish we knew^

[gritty veldt]

okee ty i couldnt tell bc ya know,,, the way the internet is with tones n stuff

[obtuse heart]

"EY YO EINAR! You want some moonshone? I put a pebble in this one!"

[novel plank]

If I could be an elf I’d be an elf

[vagrant ice]

also to roleplay?

[pulsar tinsel]

From what we’ve heard there’s not classes just skills and you can be good at whatever you put time into

[fluid jungle]

You want Moonshiners play RDO

[stark wasp]

Yeah I know why you assumed I did.. Most people nowadays are easily offended for some reason..

[vagrant ice]

HAHAHAH yoo einar come drink with uss

[fluid jungle]

Chu vs Chappa factions

[primal moth]

The booze I'll make will be so hard, you will do a double backflip roll the instant your lips took a sip xD (That would be petrol at this point 🤔 )

[stark wasp]

Owwww.. so its skill based and not the typical old rpg

[pulsar tinsel]

I love Elf’s but as long as I can make a cute human I’ll live

[novel plank]

u missed an opportunity to use “on the rocks” but said pebble :(

[stark wasp]

That's interesting!

[fluid jungle]

Skill based implies a focus on things like combat and pvp though

[naive trout]

Me in game: Drinks alcohol; gets drunk.
Me, drunk, irl: lol you dang lightweight! 😛

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah it reminded me of Stardew Valley’s skills or something like OSRS skills

[fluid jungle]

And that its about how good the player is vs their gear and level

[stark wasp]

I wanna make my DnD character a character in here aswell if that's possible

[fluid jungle]

They just mean there are no classes.

[vagrant ice]

hey, i'm in, i will hold you onto that when the game releases, i will want sth strooong to celebrate

[primal moth]

If I remember correctly they told us it would be only humans :/ ?

I would love elfs ^^

[pulsar tinsel]

Not really, a fishing skill, or hunting skill for example

[fluid jungle]

The game doesn't seem remotely like D&D. There's no focus on combat or loot or killing things to progress

[obtuse heart]

as far as we know, for now

[novel plank]

I remember for Free Realms I could either be a human or a pixie 😌

[hallow kettle]

if i see cooking, i will do everything in my power to make a little tavern somewhere

[pulsar tinsel]

I loved the little pixies so much!!’

[gritty veldt]

they're working on elves i think?? have to check the google doc bc i forget

[buoyant sinew]

Afaik they were going to work for Elves too

[stark wasp]

If I can be a trader or merchant god that will be so awesome

[pulsar tinsel]

Oh I think those are mostly NPCs

[vagrant ice]

maybe a nomad merchant? bc that would be amazing to have

[novel plank]

haha I have merchant experience thx to the game shop titans 😤

[primal moth]

Do you know God Greed 😄 ?
Do you know Kimchi ?

If you know, MA MAN 😄

[buoyant sinew]

Just no Elves for now, dunno If they Area on for release either

[stark wasp]

Yessss

Player-based economy.. i dont know if that is worth it

[naive trout]

Replace all the humans with elves. Problem solved 😉

[pulsar tinsel]

I just hope people don’t get too excited for combat/PvP as it’s really not the focus. Many people seem to have this idea but the devs haven’t mentioned it in great detail

[stark wasp]

Seen some games with that type of economy.. Albion Online

[novel plank]

I’ll gladly be a human but at least give me elf ear cosmetics 😭

[gritty veldt]

in reference to character customization: "Other races? We're not talking about all of that yet, unfortunately"

[hallow kettle]

set up a network, gatherers, traveling merchants, specialists going full aesthetic on their projects. . .

[primal moth]

Player based economy is really really good and strong, but you have to do a super job for it.

Eve Online somewhat did it and it was super duper cool ^^

[rigid schooner]

Juuuuuust let as plaaaaaaay @waxen joltteam 😄

[pulsar tinsel]

I could see a player based economy going negatively and positively, guess we’ll wait and see

[vagrant ice]

it usually doesn't go well when players rule the economy, but if it has a big playerbase it should be fine

[stark wasp]

Hmm.. well some players are pvper.. so better not remove pvp altogether..

[novel plank]

I mean they said there probably wouldn’t be much pvp stuff involved

[naive trout]

PvP? In a casual game that's basically My Time at Portia/Stardew/casual game here? I would honestly be a little offended if they added PvP in a game like this especially if it was a primary focus

[novel plank]

Dungeons most likely I believe

[gritty veldt]

try not to @ the devs :/ they busy

[pulsar tinsel]

I think they’re going for community stuff mostly , so far no PvP stuff has been planned

[grizzled moat]

I’d be fine with pvp as long as it’s opt in

[novel plank]

that was a random person named Dev not the dev role LOL

[inner canopy]

dw he just @ someone who was called dev

[mystic gale]

They've said they will have some competitive elements, but not really straight pvp

[stark wasp]

Yeah I think this game will be like mincraft then

[buoyant sinew]

Well, they have said that there is no PvP on the game as in killing other players, and that combat is not the focus of required

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah they confirmed all combat stuff will be optional

[naive trout]

Competitive might be like Stardew Mines style, not PvP

[gritty veldt]

LOL ok wait thats kinda funny, thanks for the clarification

[novel plank]

The second that pvp is introduced it will allow toxic players to roam and potentially bully new players

[grizzled moat]

Oh thank you! I just got here lol I’m a chronic lurker

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah that’s the one

[grizzled moat]

Good to know

[vagrant ice]

hey but if we can make pets fight like pokemon i'm all in

[pulsar tinsel]

Haha all good

[vagrant ice]

but the fight must be with hugs

[novel plank]

Which is why I’m hoping it won’t be :)

[stark wasp]

I saw that Riot, Blizzard and major game companies are helping making this game.. or an inspiration so im expecting good from this game.. not so much tho to avoid dissapointment

[pulsar tinsel]

I want Pokémon pet fights

[grizzled moat]

I’m down to hug fight

[novel plank]

Nah nah it’s ex riot and blizzard devs

[brisk ivy]

But those hugs involve knives to the back.

[hallow kettle]

a snuggle struggle!

[naive trout]

If someone wants to fight me with hugs Im totally down. Hug battling sounds like a total vibe

[buoyant sinew]

Pillow fights please

[vagrant ice]

right? like boxing but without the punches

[pulsar tinsel]

It’d be so cool to have an MMO with no PvP

[stark wasp]

Owwww... Ehh still good

[cinder peak]

Yea I would totally try that

[naive trout]

Snuggle struggling. Yes. Perfect.

[grizzled moat]

My entire life has led up to this moment. Mom hug power activate

[vagrant ice]

wait....

[brisk ivy]

Grappling.

[novel plank]

I prefer walking around peacefully so no PVP would be great for me LOL

[stark wasp]

Not straight up anarchy but I hope there will be duel or faction war of some kind

[primal moth]

No don't- Mphhh okay you got us :p

[rigid schooner]

you do that in SoT too ? 😄 sail peacefully ? 😉

[mystic gale]

Pretty sure that's not what they're going for Sora

[stark wasp]

Or just avoid pvp alltogether and have a faction war vs orcs or such

[pulsar tinsel]

I just want to explore and make friends whilst living out my cottage core dreams. Not having to worry about numbers and gear and weapons

[grizzled moat]

If a game has farming and/or fishing there is a 95% guarantee I become obsessed real fast

[novel plank]

lol as if I can focus on actual players with 8+ ghost ships on my ass within a 10 minute time span

[novel plank]

Yes literally

[pulsar tinsel]

Not sure how likely that is, they’ve said there’s no death at all

[stark wasp]

Same dude.. if a game has trade system and hunting im going to be addicted to this

[cyan basin]

it has both, you are doomed

[grizzled moat]

Oh I know

I’m prepared to lose chunks of my life to this game

[primal moth]

As long as you don't do Powderkeg strats to others i'm good :p

[vagrant ice]

we are all here for the drugs after all

[pulsar tinsel]

I’m doomed to grow crops, raise animals and fish

if raising animals is a thing I’m going to cry

[grizzled moat]

The only one I struggled with so far has been Stardew Valley

[stark wasp]

Oww.. probably just unconcious then no death sign

[pulsar tinsel]

little babies

[buoyant sinew]

They said you dont need to worry about dying, whatever that implies

[pulsar tinsel]

Maybe

[gritty veldt]

truly a horrible fate

[novel plank]

I’m new to the game idk what that is- but if they get close enough you already know I’m gonna throw those fire bombs at their deck while simultaneously shooting cannonballs

[cyan basin]

They said not now, but its much requested so eventually

[stark wasp]

I think the devs whole focus is just to give the player a second world to relax and escape reality

[hot bough]

Let's hope for competitive events like, "Hug a Chapaa Hour." Winner is the player who catches and hugs the most Chuus in an hour. (Yeah, see what I did there?)

[ornate iris]

Hello Paliens

[rigid schooner]

8 ghost ships ? 😄 wtf happened to that game, that wasnt happening when I was playing it...

[stark wasp]

And I like that.. I want to escape this reality

[grizzled moat]

A welcome thing tbh

[novel plank]

I had a reaper’s bounty on my ship :)

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeah, it’s vague and I think that’s on purpose

[severe gorge]

good morning neighbors

[hot bough]

Mornin', folks.

[rigid schooner]

oh... 😄 well yeah then 😄

[gritty veldt]

hello future folks

[grizzled moat]

Ahoy! I gotta sleep oof. Lovely to chat for a bit! Nini

[primal moth]

Oh ok, the powderkeg strat is simple, you get one, you go to the oposite ship, lit up the powderkeg and do a kamikaze on their deck, easy 'victory' really hard to counter and absolutely unfair :/

[gritty veldt]

even tho ig it is technically morning here too

[pulsar tinsel]

Goodnight!!!

[vagrant ice]

gnn

[stark wasp]

It is.. I want to relax and dont worry about a thing

[vital frigate]

Anyone else not have the survey open in New tab? And now can’t fill it out?

[hallow kettle]

good meowrning! though, it is almost that sleep time for me...

[novel plank]

Ohhhh the giant red barrels ... yeah I never keep those on my ship because my friend always accidentally shoots them, or accidentally sets it off 🙄

[pulsar tulip]

Sorry random, but I relate so much to all the peaceful gamers in this discord, super excited to play the game 🎮🙌

[stark wasp]

I think im the only one from asia here.. lmao everyone is saying goodmorning

[cunning bridge]

good afternoonnnn

[vagrant ice]

wait... i have been here for two and a half hours, i think i have to go do sth with my life 😂

[woeful vessel]

Good afternoon to you

[vagrant ice]

byee everyone, see ya

[gritty veldt]

it is late for me as well i think i am also going to head out. it was lovely chatting with yall and i hope yall enjoy the rest of your day/nigh/whatever

[stark wasp]

Yeah its a sight to see.. after experiencing toxicity in LOL

[turbid minnow]

hey guys, is it still possible to join the pre-alpha? seeing that there is like 25k people here is it too full?

[primal moth]

Then he isn't your friend lmao x)

Nah kidding, it's dangerous, but rewarding. An unfair gameplay in my opinion but well I'm me :/

[novel plank]

It’s now 4:30am I NEED to sleep highkey but I’m gonna be too curious with the convo

[stark wasp]

Good afternoon fellow asian

[brisk ivy]

It's a sign up for right now.

[rigid schooner]

imagine you going to sleep and then the pre-alpha suddenly starts... 😄

[buoyant sinew]

Just about noon here, I am on vacation from work for 3 more weeks and my sleep schedule is already ruined

[sharp fjord]

Am I the only one who checks their email every 20 minutes in hopes to see the word "Palia" and "Alpha Invitation"?

[woeful vessel]

I am not asian btw xd

[novel plank]

That would be my luck don’t say that

[turbid minnow]

so they didn't say anything along the lines of ok we got enough people already, right?

[celest maple]

what a nightmare

[stark wasp]

He/she probably like "well shucks.. I missed it"

[woeful vessel]

Same

[stark wasp]

Oww.. well hello fellow gamer.. thanks for noticing me

[woeful vessel]

I just love greetings

[gritty veldt]

"Numbers? As many folks as we can get in. The response so far has been overwhelming, which is great! But I fear it means we won't be able to invite enough folks to make EVERYONE happy. Thats why its hard to give definitive details right now."

[woeful vessel]

Hello

[stark wasp]

Man I wonder why theres so little mmorpg being made rn

[brisk ivy]

I don't believe they have. The announcement trailer was days ago and they have questions for a selection process.

[gritty veldt]

ok time to sleep for real for real gn yall

[turbid minnow]

thanks!!

[stark wasp]

I mean is it what 10 years or 7 years ago since Cabal came out

[gritty veldt]

ur welcome!

[rigid schooner]

yeah, mine too, hopefully that doesnt happen 🙂

[turbid minnow]

aight, cheers!

[cunning bridge]

Nightyyyy sweet dreamsss

[primal moth]

No problem, it would be a Pre-Alpha stress test xD

[novel plank]

I’m also gonna head to bed so I can feel the nice peaceful fulfilling feeling of being deep asleep

[stark wasp]

I believe the devs are so happy rn.. that there are so many soon to be players

[naive trout]

RPG Maker games selling for like $20 on Steam making me realise I could have been rolling in bank 5 years ago-

[cunning bridge]

nightyyy

[rigid schooner]

thats nice 🙂

[novel plank]

have a good night everyone :)

[stark wasp]

Go and better start somewhere

[primal moth]

'Night !

[naive trout]

rest well sarahhh

[rigid schooner]

good night

[stark wasp]

Goodnight sarah!

[naive trout]

lol the last time I worked on RPG Maker I wanted to make something like Eternal Senia that totally overhauled the entire combat system in favour of RT instead of Turnbased

[junior bison]

Last time i rolled in bank i got kicked out and sent to mental evaluation.

[surreal tapir]

hi everyone 🙂 i just found out about the game and already signed up for the pre-alpha

[naive trout]

Why did you get caught? Smh

[brisk ivy]

Whenever I hear RPG maker, I think "Chaos Dunk."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6zqHKd265E

[junior bison]

Welcome

[hot bough]

Welcome to the Cozy Life. 🙂

[dreamy spoke]

hola

[stark wasp]

Probably did it on full sunlight

[sharp fjord]

Never too late! 🙂 until you miss the Alpha, then its probably too late...

[surreal tapir]

that trailer omg hyped

[junior bison]

Yes this is very internal screaming from hype cozy

[mystic gale]

Right?

[stark wasp]

I wonder

It will take probably years

To release

[naive trout]

This community is so wholesome I almost could die here 😛 In the good way

[hot bough]

Right? It's a conundrum within a conundrum. 😉

[buoyant sinew]

Hopefully we get more to see soon 😋

[surreal tapir]

i got so excited that it's 5am here in brazil and i wrote an essay on the form 😂

[junior bison]

With the alpha coming soon i don'r think it will take years

[dreamy spoke]

if they're already releasing a playable alpha I doubt it's going to be years

[sharp fjord]

Forget seeing, I wanna play!

[stark wasp]

Same rofl

[naive trout]

2022 at the latest I bet

[stark wasp]

Yeah 2022 maybe

[mystic gale]

I think you'll find that excitement is very much shared around here haha

[dreamy spoke]

I mean, a year or so perhaps, but it seems they announced it fairly late compared to most games

[stark wasp]

For full release?

[junior bison]

Yeah mid/late 2022 doesn't sound unrealistic i think

[dreamy spoke]

which is good, most companies usually announce games WAY too early

[buoyant sinew]

This ofc, but at the very least some actual footage

[stark wasp]

Late announcer is always good

[dreamy spoke]

completely different type of game, but I remember how hype it was when Apex Legends dropped

[naive trout]

I love when trailers use actual gamePLAY instead of cutscenes or something

[stark wasp]

And lets not force the devs.. looks at Cyberpunk 2077

[dreamy spoke]

out of nowhere they just announced it, and it was out

[plush kelp]

2077 wasn’t even as bad as people said it was lol

[junior bison]

Tbh apex legends dropped out of nowhere, and it hyped people

[pulsar tinsel]

Yeahhh if they take their time I’m not going to complain, making a game is hard

[junior bison]

They certainly learned from their mistake

[dreamy spoke]

cyberpunk was a fantastic game. there was just shit communication between dev team & advertising team

[naive trout]

Ive never played Apex, 2077, Valorant, or any of the games that really caused controversy. Well, besides like.. Blinx

[stark wasp]

Same.. im willing to give devs some time as long as they give me the game they promised

[dreamy spoke]

people expected cyberpunk to be something it wasn't

that plus it had a shit ton of bugs on consoles

I played it on PC & it was mostly fine, though

[stark wasp]

The problem is people expected too much from the game

[pulsar tulip]

I need the game now or I'll cry because I am free all summer break

[junior bison]

As long as the game has red pandas i'm happy

[sand barn]

People often have mismatched expectations when it comes to products :/
