[oak monolith]

I want to make a fishing village when the game releases

[burnt wadi]

[viscid aurora]

[eternal temple]

Called “potato”

[hidden lynx]

I love it here y'all are so great

[faint dawn]

[lone crane]

YOU HAD ME AT THICC

[hidden lynx]

Tall and thicc!!!

[viscid aurora]

what would be a good name for a crafting based neighborhood???

[eternal temple]

An Amazon woman or a thicc shorty…it’s tough

[wispy wyvern]

The Wandering Compass.. no wait that ones taken..

[faint dawn]

Amazonwoman or literal dwarf..kekw

Craftytown

[viscid aurora]

[arctic onyx]

[wispy wyvern]

A better one? Okay.

[eternal temple]

Incredible hammer of palia IHOP

[viscid aurora]

XD

[arctic onyx]

sheesh got me there no cap

[spice wyvern]

[burnt wadi]

idk every time i play a farming sim or something, i always name it Bootytown

[mystic gale]

It'll be pretty great if we get a wide range of body types and customization options, and that seems to be something they're focusing on, including gender inclusivity

[burnt fulcrum]

Challenge accepted

[crisp scroll]

Hmm

[hidden lynx]

Creare Company ?

[novel plank]

i literally just want to make my character look like myself so it feels like im rly in the game LOL

[viscid aurora]

creare?

[hidden lynx]

It means to craft or create in Latin 👀

[viscid aurora]

ah

[wispy wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-bride-gif-5023039

[eternal temple]

This girl ready to pack her bags and move to palia!

[arctic onyx]

Shinobi Alliance

[novel plank]

yes.

[hidden lynx]

Same tho

[eternal temple]

Ya. Same

[mystic gale]

I absolutely do not want my character to look like me, I play games to escape the harsh realities of my life XD Buuuuut it would be great if everyone has the options to do whatever they want

[hidden lynx]

I think they will!

[crisp scroll]

Ight, my new user be looking better

[arctic onyx]

ayo that font is clean

[white narwhal]

Maybe you can turn your crafting based neighborhood and let people gather materials by mining (if you can even mine in the game) and mine and craft in the neighborhood...

[hidden lynx]

I don't think it will be like Skyrim level of detail or anything though hahaha but apparently lots of colors for hair skin and outfits!

[crisp scroll]

Use it, in that case 😏

[viscid aurora]

y u got me thinkin of minecraft

[novel plank]

im excited for if theyll add like limited edition clothing and accessories or furniture or recipes for food/crafting for holiday seasons

[white narwhal]

nonoono.. you mine and craft

[novel plank]

like different weapon and tool looks also

[crisp scroll]

we need neighbourhood bedwars

[mystic gale]

I'll tell you what I really want to know, and I would've asked this for this week if capybaras hadn't been more important: the characters in the trailer have a huge amount of expressiveness in their faces and I want to know how much that will carry over to regular gameplay.

[hidden lynx]

Sarah you wanna join us 🥺

[wispy wyvern]

The Crafters Union could encompass a number of neighbourhoods, looking after it's membership who abide by a code of honour and quality.

[mystic gale]

Like, just the look on the MC's face when she comes over that first rise

[viscid aurora]

TCU

[eternal temple]

Like for microtransactions or just in game somehow

[novel plank]

or through events but yea

[novel plank]

i would want to but i wanna be able to befriend everyone ;-;

[eternal temple]

I’d hope they’d allow us to decorate for holidays

[burnt wadi]

no microtransactions 😡

[viscid aurora]

seems nice

[hidden lynx]

You can do both!!!

[novel plank]

like i wanna be able to interact with all the guilds n such where id be switzerland

[eternal temple]

I agree, but we can’t rule it out unfortunately

[viscid aurora]

you go switzerland

[spring wasp]

Just be a traveling merchant like me and befriend people on your journey!

[mystic gale]

Yeah that's what I want! I want to be the guy who deals with everyone and has contacts everywhere between factions

[celest maple]

People are already starting guilds?

[viscid aurora]

yes

[white narwhal]

GUIIILDS

[wispy wyvern]

Plenty of time before names and whatnot need to be looked at.

[celest maple]

Dang xD

[arctic onyx]

yeah

[white narwhal]

Guilds are the lifeblood of MMO's

[celest maple]

That's true

[white narwhal]

And a guild in this type of game is perfect

[hidden lynx]

Personally I hope that there aren't a lot of mivrotransactions and we can unlock things in game by doing stuff - I would be down for like a battle pass type thing or something and definitely putting more money towards the game at launch for exclusives but I don't know that I would wanna miss out on stuff cause money's

[frigid yew]

it'd be cool if we could trade items with each other

[round coral]

imagine a whole ecosystem man

[viscid aurora]

pre-emptively establish

[past creek]

if there are guild why i haven't being informed of the fishing guild! 😢

[round coral]

that would be extremely cool with black markets and stuff

[white narwhal]

Im makin a potato guild

[viscid aurora]

create one

[eternal temple]

This sounds reasonable

[amber zinc]

I'm of the opinion that the only things that should cost money are either the game itself, or cosmetic stuff

[celest maple]

I want to join a guild xD

[white narwhal]

Where we can only grow potatoes and any other crop is an instant kick from the guild

[eternal temple]

You and everyone else bro 🤣

[hidden lynx]

Technically in Palia they are called neighborhoods but yes haha

[bright forge]

The Port Paradise is a one

[round coral]

i really wanna chill with a group of people in this game

tho idk if my irl friends would wanna hop on

[past creek]

Salty Anglers. 🎣 join now.

[celest maple]

Neighborhoods xD that's awesome

[viscid aurora]

TPP I forgot about that

[novel plank]

i wanna be the person who can kinda be like a close insider / allied w all the guilds without the strings

[hidden lynx]

Same but I like earning stuff more than buying it personally

[mystic gale]

I want to supply my inventions equally to everyone without allegiances

[eternal temple]

The social butterfly

[novel plank]

thats why i mentioned like holiday events where you can get stuff through it thats limited edition :))

[hidden lynx]

🥺

[spring wasp]

Speak of the devil, time for fishing! Oh and I will definitely be joining a fishing guild. #FishermanForLife

[round coral]

i wonder if there's gonna be events for pve

[mystic gale]

Awww what's wrong?

[viscid aurora]

become the best fisherman

[novel plank]

theres no pvp currently so

[white narwhal]

I just want biggest potato tournament

MEGATATO

[hidden lynx]

I was excited about our treaty and working together 🥺

[round coral]

idk if pvp would happen in a game like this

[viscid aurora]

like biggest pumpkin competitions?

[round coral]

maybe over time or smt

[white narwhal]

Yes but potato

[mystic gale]

Oh that's still happening!

[eternal temple]

Oh it’s gunna happen, partner! Wanna fight about it jk

[mystic gale]

I just might also have other treaties :D

[hidden lynx]

I hope there isn't pvp but is PvE - I personally like that this is about community and being more comfy

[viscid aurora]

PvP through trade

[wispy wyvern]

@mystic gale @viscid aurora The Free Crafters and Traders Union

[round coral]

yooo don't be too hasty there hahaha

[hidden lynx]

FAIR OKAY

[viscid aurora]

I like it

[novel plank]

i just want to be able to work with any alliance without having the strings of actually being in one (except for my own guild where ill just have it for a name i like)

[round coral]

mans trying to vibe 😔

[viscid aurora]

also the more I look at it the more communist it sounds XD

[amber zinc]

Brittany, we're gonna have to open up trade between our neighborhoods

[past creek]

i like that name

[wispy wyvern]

On the topic of. Speculation of what sort of tradeskills/professions we might see and what would you like to undertake

[round coral]

idk i just wanna like travel a lot and make friends/connections

and help out when i'm at a place

[mystic gale]

You'll have a free ally in me! We'll be those who operate independently

[frigid yew]

Is it all one open world? Or are there other towns to go to?

[round coral]

towns are gonna be made by people i think, maybe some towns that were already built and stuff

[novel plank]

ill be the friendly neighborhood wiccan with all the nice brewing ingredients or potions to buy and sell

[viscid aurora]

furniture like woodworking sounds cool, same with tailoring and stuff

[amber zinc]

i'd like to see some skills that you don't normally find it MMOs, like beekeeping or animal husbandry, or navigation, fletching, etc.

[mystic gale]

As long as I'm not missing out on making friends by not being in other private servers or anything I'll be happy

[round coral]

cat lady?

[viscid aurora]

the friendly neighborhood witch

[frigid yew]

Ohh okay, thank you!

[hidden lynx]

Honestly this is super hard... Like if we get to run a shop I'd probably go more towards a bakery or clothing shop? But if not then I would probably go towards mining and crafting? Honestly I just kidda wanna do it all haha

[novel plank]

yes

[novel plank]

i may have a cat or 2...

[eternal temple]

We going to have another Salem

[round coral]

don't quote 100%

[viscid aurora]

doing it all is so tempting

[novel plank]

exactly i wanna make friends in private discords but not actually be in the guilds because my services are for all :/

[round coral]

you mean 20

[hidden lynx]

Like just dabble it everything haha

[novel plank]

pls thats too much work

[round coral]

YOO SALEM is so cute for a black cat

[wispy wyvern]

tailoring could likely also include haberdashery

[mystic gale]

Yeah! I want to be in the social groups but like... also independent

[wispy wyvern]

It is , mostly as its so open and we have so little info. But e can dream right?

[viscid aurora]

make all the cosmetics

[faint dawn]

Sees alot of chupaa memes as my mind goes to the chupies (binkies) in boss baby

[round coral]

cats are not hard to take care off

unless you have to make them eat then yeah no thanks i'm lazy

[eternal temple]

After about 8 cats they pretty much just take care of themselves. I’m speaking from zero experience of course

[novel plank]

id want a total of like 3 cats max LOL

[round coral]

a cat ecosystem

[viscid aurora]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[past creek]

but being in a guild doesnt makes you unable to trade with other ppl i dont see a problem joining one.

just sain'

[novel plank]

@past creek this basically describes it

[round coral]

if i could adopt cats i'd go for 2 or 1 prolly

[eternal temple]

Yes I believe there will be hats in game

[mystic gale]

I posted my two cats in the #🐾│pet-pics channel on the first day of this server, so they're buried way up there but definitely worth finding

[round coral]

since i hate being in the same place all the time

[viscid aurora]

hats are important to self expression

[round coral]

beanie and i'm good

[viscid aurora]

a steampunk hat sounds cool

[mystic gale]

Steampunk will be very much my aesthetic if we get it

[bright forge]

good night everybody!

[hidden lynx]

Like if my shop can be bigger then I wanna offer a bit of it all... Baked good and have a little cafe for teas and pastries and then have a clothing shop with hats and capes and dresses and stuff... And then a whole black smith area... Ya know... Like a mideval target that has Starbucks 👀

[eternal temple]

A steampunk farmhand, interesting 🤔

[viscid aurora]

I prob will go for steampunk too

[round coral]

one of those steam punk googles on your neck and a steampunk hat

[hidden lynx]

I wanna go magicy and fey as much as possible

[novel plank]

same here LOL

[viscid aurora]

the dream

[novel plank]

the magic elven/fey witch :)

[mystic gale]

Science and magic can live in harmony :)

[viscid aurora]

this dream is definetly unrealistic but still

[mystic gale]

They may even be interchangeable!

[round coral]

you can always hope

[hidden lynx]

Yes but I wanna wear a crown haha 😆

[remote moss]

you're hyping me so much, i can't wait to playyy

[novel plank]

my name means princess and my mother says i have a cleopatra complex so :/

[wispy wyvern]

shifty eyes I have a steampunk replica of Darth Vaders lightsaber a friend made me

[round coral]

what's that about

the cleopatra complex

[viscid aurora]

gib

[vocal spoke]

is this gonna be on steam

[mystic gale]

Neat! Should post a pic somewhere

[novel plank]

a princess / queen complex basically.. acting like royalty but over the years ive managed to simmer it down LOL

[hidden lynx]

Lmfao yeah.... That's silly of her 🤣 I'm deffo the princess in my family - I was a miracle baby and spoiled rotten until my sister's came along and then I still acted the same 😂

[wispy wyvern]

Ill see if I can scare one up

[hidden lynx]

Oh I've done the opposite as you can see 🙃

[novel plank]

i was a science experiment baby .. LOL but still a miracle

[mystic gale]

I'm the one in my family who overpromised as a kid and underdelivered as an adult

[round coral]

oh damn that's interesting

i always liked the idea of royalty in fiction and stuff but idk i just never would imagine myself being that noble

[lavish remnant]

I feel that.

[viscid aurora]

I will become that

[thorny dune]

🫂 for both of you

[hidden lynx]

I don't think that's a fair assessment of you!

[regal swallow]

👋 👋

[eternal temple]

They’ll teach you nobility if you’re royalty

[mystic gale]

I appreciate that 😁

[round coral]

that's actually fair and i can imagine them doing that

[hidden lynx]

As a kid you dream of the world and having it all - as you get older you have lower expectations and that's normal - as an adult that doesn't mean you have under delivered in any way! It just means you grew up and realized not everyone can be an astronaut or a president or whatever ya know?

[viscid aurora]

gonna change my nic so I remember that name

[eternal temple]

They have to, they can’t have you acting a fool in public 😆

[mystic gale]

...or successful! But point taken, haha.

[regal swallow]

I wanted to be an archaeologist

[eternal temple]

Same!!!!!

[hidden lynx]

Sometimes you just need a different perspective 🥰

[round coral]

imagine a royal just starts laughing without control bec someone's eating impolitely

[novel plank]

i had wanted to be an astronomer

[regal swallow]

What did I turn out as a Computer Scientist 🤣

[eternal temple]

They’d be like…you drunk bro??

[nova ember]

What's wrong with CS

:]

[mystic gale]

Too true! Keep being this sweet and you're going to make me want to bend the knee XD

[viscid aurora]

CS is good

[hidden lynx]

Listen it's just facts okay!

[mystic gale]

That's a great dream, I've always loved space

[regal swallow]

While( Einar = "Happy"){
pebble++
}

[eternal temple]

I’d buy National Geographic’s about Egyptian pyramids. What a nerd move, I love it

[round coral]

i hope the night time in this game has a lot of celestial bodies shown

would be a vibe

[regal swallow]

Mmmm fireworks

[round coral]

mmm good idea

[eternal temple]

Like a couple moons or something

[hidden lynx]

Yeah as a kid I was interested in everything and had a hunger for knowledge... Sadly teachers instead of fostering that and letting it grow drowned me in pointless tests and homework and I lost that spark 😭 been trying to get it back for years.

[burnt fulcrum]

Wouldn't it be
While(Einar == "Happy")
if anything?

[regal swallow]

Depends on the program

I could of done it in binary

Or maybe I just flowcharted

[eternal temple]

00100101001

[hidden lynx]

I hope there are 2 moons and shooting stars and lots and lots of stars!

[eternal temple]

That’s all I know

[burnt fulcrum]

That's just showing off 👀

[mystic gale]

Good teachers can make so much difference in kids' lives between making learning seem fun and adventurous or boring and stressful

[regal swallow]

😏 machine code?

[eternal temple]

Ok how about heiroglyphics

[round coral]

damn i never knew you could code in machine

how would that be done tho

just like 0101010 while 10010101

[hidden lynx]

If the school system hasn't been dumb I tested high enough to go into 5th grade at age 7 but they refused and I had to start in kindergarten because 'i was to young'

[lone crane]

Gotta use the machine to code.

[arctic onyx]

if (einar != erenYeager)
{
never play palia;
}

[burnt fulcrum]

you're going to kick in my impostor syndrome...

[mystic gale]

They do sometimes have reasons for that, like if they feel like you need the social development. My dad pushed me to enter school early and academically I was ready, but in hindsight, socially I was not

[regal swallow]

There once was a land called Palia and then the Human nation attacked

[plucky dirge]

If you guys would make a guild. What would you guys name it? 😄

[pulsar meteor]

"Of Make Believe"

[plucky dirge]

Oo nice!

[hidden lynx]

Yeah but they could have had me in first grade or even second... I could read and write cursive and didn't need to learn the calendar and seasons...

[arctic onyx]

The Wandering Compass

[round coral]

Rick's Morties

[plucky dirge]

Oo not bad not bad

[eternal temple]

<yes daddy>

[round coral]

fair enough

[plucky dirge]

I'm making a game called: Renown. So maybe Renown Heroes?

[mystic gale]

Yeah it's a pity they held you back that much. (I always excelled at cursive and still do!)

[hidden lynx]

Queendom of Dalsein! With The Wandering Compass as my adventure explorers guild!

[plucky dirge]

Ohmy, two guild at the start? 😮

[mystic gale]

The Stray Cogs

[eternal temple]

Would it be “renowned heroes” I’m not sure

[regal swallow]

I dont know if I would be in a guild. I'm friendly to everyone

[plucky dirge]

Renowned Heroes, yes!

[hidden lynx]

I literally spent everyday doing my school work and homework and was done by the first half hour and then put in a corner to read. I wasn't allowed to help the other students or anything - couldn't talk in calss or participate for like the first 4 years. Was awful

[eternal temple]

Sounds good!

[plucky dirge]

[hidden lynx]

Yes yes! Also love your name!!!

[novel plank]

still on talk of guilds?

[mystic gale]

Whaaaaat? That sounds so incredibly backwards and unfair. How are you supposed to develop like that?

[hidden lynx]

Right??? Would have been way better to just be put in 5th grade 🤷🏻‍♀️

[novel plank]

i just wanna be in the discords but be the neighborhood elven/fairy witch ;-;

[plucky dirge]

I think I just started one haha. I love talking about guild things. I hope they will be in Palia and that they have meaning!

[hidden lynx]

Neighborhoods *

[round coral]

i wanna see if the story actually develops to a new game aspect

[mystic gale]

With kids that much older you probably would've struggled a lot socially but it doesn't sound like they gave you much of a better deal with kids your own age. Yeesh.

[regal swallow]

A good guild name would be 'There and Back' or 'The Name Doesn't Matter'

[mystic gale]

We will have neighborhoods, which are Palia's version of guilds!

[hidden lynx]

I thrive socially now 🥰 I've always been super extroverted and incredibly good with people! They are what I thrive with 🥳

[eternal temple]

Over Yonder

[frail birch]

You are one of the first guilds yes

[plucky dirge]

Oo sounds good! @mystic gale

[frigid yew]

I saw a guild name called "Ctrl Alt Del"

[mystic gale]

That's awesome, I admire that. That is the opposite of how I ended up growing up, haha.

[regal swallow]

I would love to be Shrew the Greeter

[plucky dirge]

Well, Renowned Heroes could use neighbours! 😛

[eternal temple]

Possible titles are expected

[frail birch]

We already have plans to take over coastal territory

[hidden lynx]

I basically just said f u to my teachers and was like hahahaha I'll run the world you old croons 😈

[pulsar meteor]

which is exactly why i thought 'of make believe'

[frail birch]

We will BECOME BRITAIN

[alpine sinew]

Hi guys!! So excited to play this game!

[regal swallow]

'Neverland'

[mystic gale]

Good for you! Way to get at 'em! :D

[hidden lynx]

Welcome in Leo!

[celest maple]

I wish to spread love and friendship in the game, gosh I'm so excited to play with everyone :D you all seem so nice and awesome!

[torpid cradle]

Friendship is magic! ✨

[stable oriole]

whens the game coming out any guess?

[eternal temple]

OH YA Wanna fight??? I mean yes thank you

[arctic onyx]

F R I E N D S 👁️

[burnt fulcrum]

The pre-alpha should be Soon TM

[hidden lynx]

Ok brb phone dying

[stable oriole]

nicee

[frail birch]

F R E N 👀 @arctic onyx

[arctic onyx]

F R E 🌚

[celest maple]

I'll pillow fight you if you want (warning I don't last long because in my head it looks silly "fighting with pillows" so I die laughing and always loose)

[eternal temple]

Let’s hug it out bro

[celest maple]

Okay

[brisk dome]

I'm really curious what the food and cooking will be like (if there is some). I have a bad aka great habit of trying to make ingame food IRL so I can eat what I am eating in games. XD

[viscid aurora]

o9h...

[celest maple]

I did that with Skyrim

[paper wing]

we may get some more info tomorrow when the questions submitted to devs are answered, otherwise you can post a question to #851872239435644928 for next week

[eternal temple]

This man is living in 2031

[frigid yew]

sounds like a really fun idea!

[crisp quail]

When is the closed alpha?

[rugged stratus]

Hah, cool way to immerse yourself in the game.

[carmine relic]

Soon

[crisp quail]

vauge

[clear wraith]

Aaaaaa get home from work and the answer section in read only in preparation for response! Anticipate

[carmine relic]

Well, 's what the team says. It's soon! A more specific one was "within the month/a few months, but never a quarter of a year"

[crisp quail]

ok cool thanks!

[spice wyvern]

[stone orbit]

The day before the quarter of the year

[carmine relic]

With how word changes and updates so fast around here, I worry my info might be be out-dated before I even know

[crisp quail]

You're good. I'll just assume it's "soon."

[paper wing]

we've just changed updates to only occur once a month

[carmine relic]

That pinned google doc in this channel can definitely help with any future questions, too, if ya have em'!

[celest maple]

Has beta testing came out yet?

[loud axle]

Soon™️

[carmine relic]

[plucky dirge]

[wispy wyvern]

Negative

[paper wing]

beta is way far away

[celest maple]

Nice

[blazing kelp]

It's still in the alpha stages

[crisp quail]

lol

[loud axle]

Oh that was unfortunate timing on my part LOL

[celest maple]

Oh lol

[loud axle]

Beta is a ways away, pre-alpha is soon, then there would be an alpha before a beta.

Though it's impossible to say if there even WILL be a beta 🙂

[carmine relic]

If the pre-alpha is pretty fleshed out (and with how the whole situation is), I feel beta might just be jumped over.

Is Early Access a stage between Beta and full, or just an overall blanket term for before 1.0? Hm.

[celest maple]

I just wanna see some gameplay footage or try it xD

[paper wing]

certainly they could rename beta to early access

[past hatch]

[blazing kelp]

Steam is the culprit for early access games that never fully release

[celest maple]

Lets do tha journey togethaa 🙂

[sour gorge]

shhh we dont talk about that.

[loud axle]

Early access is essentially another name for alpha

[carmine relic]

There is the announcement trailer or whatever

[mystic gale]

Early access is a blanket term for when a dev wants to make money on their game before it's really ready for release XD

[celest maple]

Oh yeah true

[loud axle]

oop

[carmine relic]

"Early Acess open world survival craft"

[sour gorge]

not really. You can be further along in development and release in early access

[past hatch]

@sour gorge Hello Mr. President.

[blazing kelp]

Red flag

[mystic gale]

But the good news is Palia's devs seem to not be interested in doing that kind of thing

[sour gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/napoleon-dynamite-wave-bye-gif-15387504

[carmine relic]

Yea. Palia devs are actually wholesome and got a goal to aim at, by the looks of it

[celest maple]

Will the game be action rpg?

[celest maple]

And this is a quite new phenomena, look back a few years. But I think this team is right on track.

[carmine relic]

Depends what ya'd define as action.

[sour gorge]

they do mention early access in the FAQ but nothing official.

[carmine relic]

But seeing as how fighting doesn't even have a health-bar, I don't think much slashy slashy combat is going to be a thing.

[loud axle]

Let's just get the definition from Wikipedia: "Early access, also known as early funding, alpha access, alpha founding, or paid alpha, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can purchase and play a game in the various pre-release development cycles, such as pre-alpha, alpha, and/or beta"

[blazing kelp]

Palia is a gorgeous stardew valley mmo with a heavy wow vibe

[sour gorge]

there is no health and death in PRE-ALPHA. we dont know about early access or full release

[celest maple]

It looks amazing I seen the trailer! I’m looking forward to fishing lol

[mystic gale]

Bottom line is S6 are treating alpha and beta as true alpha and beta, i.e. as incomplete testing stages where bug reports and feedback will be greatly encouraged

[celest maple]

What's a paliasona?

[carmine relic]

Fair enough.

[celest maple]

And as well pilots etc.

[carmine relic]

Pali- are people making personas for Palia?

[blazing kelp]

A furry resident of palia

My guess at least

[sour gorge]

yeah i believe some people are

[carmine relic]

Huh. I guess "OC" is a phrase missing, but let em' have their fun!

[past creek]

join <Salty Anglers>

[dusty cargo]

Personas?

[carmine relic]

Yea. Or Original Characters, as some would say.

[celest maple]

Lol

[sour gorge]

its like backstories and stuff

[blazing kelp]

Shameless promotion 😎

[mystic gale]

OCs is what I usually hear most often

[celest maple]

I'm going to draw my OC :D

[dusty cargo]

OH cool!

[torpid cradle]

If we're going to be founding villages and neighborhoods... We're gonna need some names...

[dusty cargo]

Me: ya magic elf does magic

[mystic gale]

My Palia character will almost certainly be an OC; I'm not going to make them look like me irl

[past creek]

dw you are invited to da hood too

[celest maple]

So we’re all gonna be apart of the same village 😁

[sour gorge]

yeah i wouldnt want my character looking ugly like me either

[past creek]

NOOOOOO

[carmine relic]

We already have some wanders/lone folks who picked that way

[torpid cradle]

Alpha Village

[mystic gale]

...Yikes, friend

[blazing kelp]

🦈

[celest maple]

Can I play a hermit

[past hatch]

Can we have each village like a different dimension, like a whole village of Mr Roger's. Or a whole village of people who only talk like Yoda.

[blazing kelp]

I'm not part of the alpha release gang. I'm a lone wolf. I'm playing on sigma release.

[eternal temple]

how very...specific

[celest maple]

Alphaville, got me to think of that band! 😮

Ima be the town hermit! 😁

[ruby bolt]

❤️

[past hatch]

If you walk into a village and 10 people go hi neighbor!

[past creek]

<Salty anglers> you shall join

[carmine relic]

I would visit to trade, perhaps even do some monkey business

[celest maple]

monke buisness

[wispy wyvern]

Just ever so slightly out of step with each other

[celest maple]

Ima live super far away on top of a high mountain! 😃

[eternal temple]

honestly, they probably already will without referencing mr. rogers 🤣

[sour gorge]

Also if there are new people we will be getting some new info tomorrow in the form of Devs answering some of our questions we asked them today

[past hatch]

Negative. We are Slapfish. We throw fish at people.

[mystic gale]

Everyone will be free to come visit my invention lab-slash-capybara ranch

[past hatch]

[torpid cradle]

Chapaacadia, Chu prefecture.

[celest maple]

I just want a coastal dock to be named Bean Port

[past creek]

make it a religion and im in

[blazing kelp]

You remind me of someone trying to get me to sign a charter so they can establish a guild.

[torpid cradle]

The Church of Chapaa

[past creek]

cmon, ill pay you 10g

[past hatch]

I want to grab like 50 people and just go throw fish at a group of 4

[celest maple]

Who says it's gold in the game? 😄 Platináa

How does one join the church of chapaa

[blazing kelp]

Cheers bro

[torpid cradle]

They have to chus you.

[celest maple]

:O

[past hatch]

[blazing kelp]

I trade with uranium

[ruby bolt]

[loud axle]

^_^

[carmine relic]

Can't wait to see the fish exchange

[celest maple]

Will there be some kind of mechanism to get "bad" defected fishes away from the market?

[sour gorge]

has anyone seen bo burnhams new special?

[carmine relic]

Dumping them back in the lake, probably

[celest maple]

🙂

[torpid cradle]

Be good to each other, and share food from the garbage, and thou shalt live in the light of the Chapaa...
And come by every Saturday for our chusening ceremony, where you can be chusen by a Chapaa to devote your life to the greater good!

[mystic gale]

Preach!

[patent dust]

i got about half way through before i had to turn it off :c

[sour gorge]

no spoilers on why im watching it now

[mystic gale]

Yeah, loved it

[celest maple]

Never heard of 😮 huh imdb?

[still fog]

SO 👏
Mounts. Land and water. Thoughts?
Water mounts could take the form of rafts that are portable, or a dock system could be used.
Raising horses or constructing other such mounts could be an option as well.
There were gliders in the trailer, which was cool, but I hope flying mounts are avoided entirely.

[patent dust]

bo burnham is a comedian/musician and hes absolutely amazing

[wispy wyvern]

Golem Horses.

[celest maple]

Will check it out!

[past creek]

YES

to all

[patent dust]

recommend not starting with his new special, start with something older, trust me

[carmine crag]

when does the pre beta or whatever start?

[blazing kelp]

Golem boats

[patent dust]

pre-alpha starts soon, no exact date

[mystic gale]

This is good advice

[carmine crag]

thanks

[celest maple]

Oh, you said beta? sorry, I thought you wrote alpha

[past creek]

https://tenor.com/view/toy-story2-cleaner-you-cant-rush-art-rush-art-impatient-client-gif-20473209

[humble plank]

Damn 70k members already lol

[faint dawn]

When its quadrupaled in size sense i joined..

[still fog]

^^

It's amazing

[celest maple]

^__^

[patent dust]

idk how many were here when i joined, just that i was here first day

[still fog]

A little bit ago, we were talking about whether it'd hit 100k before alpha.
I think that's a given at this point haha

[blazing kelp]

I think I joined around 25k people

[celest maple]

Same, but it was quite a lot? I saw it growing.

[blazing kelp]

Few days ago

[faint dawn]

I was when it was nearing 20k (about 6 hours after trailer drop) and i think you joined before me..

[ocean smelt]

I'm hoping we get some more information about what the pre-alpha will look like when they post answers tomorrow

[faint dawn]

Tomorrow?..

[mystic gale]

When they answer questions

[celest maple]

We'll see, answers from people questions in discord. Maybe it can show "something".

[faint dawn]

Wait.. palia at.. gamefest?... or will it be watch palia qna... or gamefest...

[maiden nymph]

I love the palia chat, it's always active 😆

[mystic gale]

Here in the Discord. They'll be posting their answers to what was asked in #851872239435644928

[cursive helm]

Yo whats the plan

[ocean smelt]

🤞

[celest maple]

it can take many turns 🙂

[faint dawn]

Legit gamefest is tomorrow at 5pm gmt.. or 12pm est..

[solar oracle]

They're sharing answers in the weekly answers channel

[faint dawn]

Oooh

[solar oracle]

Check how to ask channel

[lone crane]

Palia invites drop tomorrow during gamefest??? BET???

[still fog]

I wish

[faint dawn]

I wish

[still fog]

Speaking of which, it's been about 30 seconds since I last checked my email, brb

[faint dawn]

Gamedest announces palia trailer suddenly like 2000 people get an email. Kekw

[celest maple]

@still fog haha, it will probably take some more time. 🙃

[carmine relic]

That reminds me. Isn't E3 soon?

[celest maple]

Will Palia attend to that event?

[carmine relic]

That's what I was just about to ask

[ocean smelt]

e3 is very soon, yes

[burnt fulcrum]

Portal access starts June 12
I googled

[ocean smelt]

This weekend

[carmine relic]

If Palia shows up there, we're gonna have an even bigger amount of joiners.

[celest maple]

Maybe we can expect some kind of information during that time? I have no clue

[wintry sleet]

No. They said no cons at this time

[carmine relic]

Aye, thanks

[warm wolf]

Hi everyone, I'm new, I really excited about this game. I hope sometime I can share a game with the community. Greetings from Argentina!! 😀

[lone crane]

Trickery to get you guys to not watch and realize the invites will only be given to those who got a code from the con

[wispy wyvern]

Well it's that time again. Goodnight folks, be good!

[spark trout]

Con-a-con?

[icy totem]

So excited

[sour gorge]

Just figure I’d point out that today is hump day and 6/9

[nova ember]

uwu

[pulsar meteor]

nice

[patent dust]

nice

[regal swallow]

Palia is full of Pals

[severe gorge]

its full of neighbors

[hidden lynx]

I hope tomorrow is ore alpha drop 👀

[celest maple]

ya

although I doubt ill be picked

[severe gorge]

SAAMMEEE

[loud pulsar]

I doubt it'd drop that early after reveal, maybe a few more weeks.

[celest maple]

Prob

[hidden lynx]

Listen I can dream

[celest maple]

I just hope I can play it before the Summer is over.

[faint dawn]

Its a beautiful day in the neighborhood... a beautiful day for a neighbor..

[loud pulsar]

I mean I check my email every day so

[celest maple]

^

[loud axle]

Ah crap I missed the cutoff for questions lol. Just had a bunch of questions spring to mind regarding the variety of crops we'll have in-game such as if there will be crops that can only be grown in certain regions / towns or if crops will wither after a certain amount of time / harvests...

[faint dawn]

I should check my email... to see if any of the jobs i applied to got back... ;-;

[celest maple]

Can someone explain the difference between a Chuu and a Chapaa?

[celest maple]

Gl!

[lone crane]

If seasons is confirmed, probably certain crops will grow in certain times.

[loud axle]

They're the same thing, just the official name and the name we came up with as fans.

[celest maple]

Do they mean anything?

[still fog]

I'm assuming crops will wither. It'd be kind of odd if they lived forever and didn't require maintenance.

[loud axle]

This is me being the tinfoil hat speculator, but thinking about the whole 1 hr IRL = 1 day in game thing makes me think that seasons would be difficult to do, unless each season is like... a week or something.

[faint dawn]

Yeah but how long will a season be?.. idk.. i dont wanna fall asleep and wake up my plants are all withered..

[loud axle]

...Actually I may have just stumbled upon that solution, because most months have four weeks in them. 👀

[lone crane]

"Probably every weekly server maintenance, the patch notes will say "season now changed to next season

[whole coral]

I am so glad I am checking my email constantly. I forgot about a doc appointment, and if I hadn't been checking for palia mail, I would have missed my appointment, so at the very least I didn't get charged for a missed appointment. Thank you Palia 😉

[celest maple]

Don't know if i'll be able to answer but ask away.

[lone crane]

One season could just be one week, and then changed every weekly maintenance. 🤷

[celest maple]

I think so.

[celest maple]

Nice!

...

[faint dawn]

And we cant really plant in winter... its horrible in stardew winter if you dont have greenhouse..

[still fog]

Annnnd we have a troll

[lone crane]

Bro LMAOOOO I DONT BELIEVE IT

[loud axle]

Yeah, it's a good solution. Only thing is holidays then, which would be difficult to justify.

[still fog]

<@&830144903652311090>

[lone crane]

Joking he says!

[still fog]

Hilarious.

[celest maple]

You don't joke about those things...

[pulsar meteor]

not funny, also goodbye

[spice wyvern]

adios 👋

[blazing kestrel]

racism ain't joking

[loud axle]

Ignore the trolls y'all, mods will take care of it.

[thorny dune]

What did I just come back to

[loud pulsar]

Jokes are funny, that wasn't.

[celest maple]

You came back to some racist guy.

[meager cosmos]

Good evening

[somber dome]

'Ey.

[thorny dune]

Oh yeah that wasn't a joke that was just hate lmao

[loud axle]

Block them and move on. ❤️

[somber dome]

Thanks, mods.

[pulsar meteor]

thanks mods!

[faint dawn]

[distant oar]

Ye ye

[celest maple]

Thanks mod!

[golden thistle]

It was all Neleimour 😂

I was late

[meager cosmos]

[hidden lynx]

Thanks Nel!

[celest maple]

Everyone are welcome, no matter what. Light, love and be good. Just be a good person and find the common sence and balance - be good. That's a good world.

[loud pulsar]

We do be jamming

[distant oar]

Yeah but I wouldn't know all the neat commands for dealing with stuff quickly without my mods!

[thorny dune]

We be jamming if they add instruments!

[meager cosmos]

i do be jamming with my toasty

[thorny dune]

jamming and fishing 🎣

[distant oar]

Thank you all for being so proactive with letting us know and for also shutting down that conversation. Y'all make me the happiest of community managers!

[spice wyvern]

[fresh granite]

Where can you find the job applications list on the website, I can't seem to find it

[loud axle]

Makes me wonder as well if we'll only have real crops or some that are only native to Palia as well

[lone crane]

That was a big record scratch moment

[distant oar]

https://www.singularity6.com/careers

[hidden lynx]

I think you make us the happiest for being part of such a cool heckin game we get to play !

[lone crane]

Jazz music stops playing type shite. 🤨

[still fog]

@loud axle I was typing a reply, but forgot to untag you when I wrote this xD
It wasn't directed at you, just wanted to clarify

[celest maple]

I don't know if it's possible, but @distant oar ; what are you listening to on Spotify?

[mint steppe]

Hi Palia Pals!

[nova ember]

you should be able to just click on their profile and see

[loud axle]

You can click her name to see!

[celest maple]

Inactivated that feature 😉

[golden thistle]

Also, seriously, thank you for pinging us when something comes up. It can be a bit overwhelming to keep eyes everywhere so it's really appreciated.

[still fog]

You can still click their profile to see

[nova ember]

I must have missed something juicy

[loud axle]

"First Snow" by Chris Mazuera

[clear wraith]

Hiiiiii what'd I miss today?

[nova ember]

oh well

[celest maple]

Thanks!

[pulsar meteor]

if by 'miss' you mean 'something you wish you'd been here to see', well nothing really

[clear wraith]

I'm here for the good things, yes.

[nova ember]

some real donuts in the world

[faint dawn]

Opinions- lots of em.

[pulsar tulip]

hello everyp

[carmine relic]

Farmers gonna scream if Winter is lethal to plants

[pulsar tulip]

oops I didnt mean to send that

[nova ember]

greetings

[still fog]

Gonna build a greenhouse

[loud axle]

I'm from Florida, what is this 'winter' you speak of?

[carmine relic]

That too! It would be an interesting idea to add to the game after the pre-alpha

[faint dawn]

My greenhouse will be bigger than my house..

[pulsar tulip]

Winter is nonexistent in california u.u

[past creek]

i'd actually love that, and maybe having the plants need to go through all seasons give a good yield isnt a bad idea imo

[clear wraith]

Have a little warning that goes "There's not enough growing season left for this!" if you try to plant something you will regret?

[still fog]

Just build a greenhouse, then have a little dog house outside to sleep in

[carmine relic]

That works well, but still.

[serene jasper]

hiya

[carmine relic]

It sounds nice until you realize there's people who accidentally place plants in awkward spots and must live with it for who knows how long

[faint dawn]

Pup named scooby do doghouse that has hidden mansion under it..

[celest maple]

Need to gather glass 😮

[fresh granite]

I hope the character creation has old options

As in beards, wrinkles, different face shape maybe

[faint dawn]

Charactar creation needs THICC options..

[still fog]

Grey beard that goes past your knees

[clear wraith]

I would love to be able run around the game as an old birb

Or a round birb. Or a flat-chested beanpole of a birb.

[past creek]

maybe being able to move them before X amount of time has passed? idk

[pulsar tulip]

Maybe using a shovel to move the plants

[carmine relic]

Or a garden mover... a trans-plant-ation, as you would say

[fresh granite]

Is it true that this game wont have death?

[gentle birch]

Ya a shovel to dig up like ACNH would be great

[carmine relic]

For now, yeah. No dying.

So sadly, this probably means no testing for fall damage for pre-alpha folks

[faint dawn]

Its been stated in the faq doc

[fiery shore]

Favorite thing to test

[delicate pulsar]

Hello!

[carmine relic]

Which is why it's so sad!

[clear wraith]

Or maybe it's all just cartoon biology

[pulsar tulip]

Hello!

[gentle birch]

Someone will have to jump off that waterfall in the trailer.

[fresh granite]

Ouch, I like health and the idea of it not going right the first time

[burnt fulcrum]

Is that a challenge?

[fading epoch]

if there's no death, what purpose would fall damage serve

[clear wraith]

Jump off a cliff and you land with a you-shaped hole in the ground

[carmine relic]

Fight me Sage, we'll see who jumps off a cliff first!

[faint dawn]

Again, there are gliders... if you died to fall damage...

[still fog]

Unless you kill your plants

[pulsar tulip]

Maybe instead of death you wake up in a hospital from exhaustion or something

[celest maple]

I would like to use a paintbrush for both the beard and hair. Bleech/whiten. Is that possible /and colour? pixelsssz

[burnt fulcrum]

Competitive cliff diving? You bet!

[carmine relic]

Who knows, maybe the game forces you to auto-equip your gliders if it realizes you're going to fall a bit far

[delicate pulsar]

If you do, prepare to fight with me

[mystic gale]

If there's no health bar, I don't think there will be fall damage. Maybe just a quick reset back to a spawn point, but there doesn't seem to be anything to measure damage.

[clear wraith]

Wildstar Explorer-path with air brakes here. Roads were for cowards.

[delicate pulsar]

wanna kill a plant? come fight me

[carmine relic]

Human-shaped hole sounds funny and poeople would probably do it just for laughs

[fresh granite]

So is no death an age related choice or ?

[faint dawn]

Thats like dieing to fall damage in gw2 with a glider.. its like.. just press space.. xD

[celest maple]

🥦

[carmine relic]

I feel the no-dying is just part of the "chill and set-back" style of the game

[pulsar tulip]

I saw one of the characters is a young adult, so i wonder how age will work in this game tbh

[clear wraith]

Yeah, I'm here for games where there's no real worry of death.

[fresh granite]

How is a village threatened if there's no death, how would you have awesome battles if there's no dying?

[late pelican]

hey

[carmine relic]

If it was a matter of age-ratings, Fortnite would probably be a bit more graphic

[late pelican]

i want friends to play palia with when it comes out

[still fog]

They said future combat mechanics might be included in the game. I wonder how they'll go about that without death being involved.

Maybe in a tournament-style setting

[delicate pulsar]

Possibly will be a character customization thing only

[carmine relic]

I can only guess taking huge falls results in your characters like, wncing or being like "Oh my god my ankles" and then walking on as usual

[delicate pulsar]

I don't think age progression will work on a mmo game

[faint dawn]

I think the no hp no death is them trying to limit the troll ability of the game.. like they said they have a troll on the team.. even adding "some dangerous areas" will make it trollable..

[clear wraith]

If combat is kept optional, then yeah I imagine it's purely recreational fighting

[fresh granite]

So no enemy thats trying to ruin our way of life 😦

[delicate pulsar]

"Recreational fighting" could mean "Duel only" pvp

[carmine relic]

Awful raccoons are going to burn your crops and deliver a plague onto your houses, so stop them before they do!

[clear wraith]

If it's truly optional, and not some "Well we say optional, but what we mean is we'll let you limp through the game without it while only the fightey types get the good loot" arrangement.

[trail viper]

I will totally make my house a fortress so nothing can get in. Not even myself!

[celest maple]

So how do we spend the time before pre-alpha will be released?

https://open.spotify.com/track/2OHym1q6nzgtT75UCNjjro?si=a66053560c15470f

[magic brook]

Recreational fighting for when your neighbor talks smack about your peonies being marigolds

[delicate pulsar]

Protip: Train a bunch of racoons to fight other racccoons pacifically and keep your crops safe

[clear wraith]

Bar brawls!

[gray mural]

What if they introduce combat the same way RS has it (with hitpoints as a skill line) ... that is a possibility....and I'd love it

[faint dawn]

Im a troll myself.. i find ways.. i dont do it maliciously but..
In ffxiv : "I wonder if i rescue you during the queena orders in dlimbrium.. give youone stack... just to make it more... interesting...

[carmine relic]

I never seen it that way before.

[fresh granite]

There should be some kind of threat

[past hatch]

Join my group, if the suggestion passes we can throw fish at people. I need an army

[delicate pulsar]

Turn based fighting is not entirely my style, BUT I like the Hitpoint as a skill

[mystic gale]

Rescue has been used against me by friends more times than I care to count

[gray mural]

I did not mean the turn base aspect, I meant the skill line

[clear wraith]

I just wanna be cozy and make stuff 😦

No fite pls

[trail viper]

I usually troll people during maps. >:) Especially our little potato tank.

[wooden kelp]

I want a secret base in the mountain

[delicate pulsar]

Oh, srry then

[low matrix]

dumb question but have they sent out alpha invites to people who got accepted?

[burnt fulcrum]

no

[hidden lynx]

Nope! but soooon

[low matrix]

thank you

[delicate pulsar]

What about Skillpoints?

[carmine relic]

I will hoard items.

[celest maple]

Naii/nei/nein/no

[maiden nymph]

i want to burrow 🐹

[steep sonnet]

Doesnt have any tip to get the game faster ?

[fresh granite]

How nice would it be if you had a cozy place, and heroic adventures to embark on!

[gray mural]

No worries ^^ You're not suppose to know what I have in my mind xD

[carmine relic]

We'll just have to wait for #❓│old-team-answers-alpha to do its thing!

[marsh basalt]

I just captured a bug and then threw him out by "shaking" the glass making him hit a wall and now he's laying there all bug.exe broken 😢

[faint dawn]

I remember this one game has taming in it and i befriended this GIANT ancient bear and brought it into a city...

Im evil really..

[delicate pulsar]

People already got accepted to the early access?

[carmine relic]

When is Weekly answered, anyway?

[topaz silo]

i feel like there should be proper combat in the game, but it shouldn't be the main focus, like say the fishing robots seem like they are from some ancient tech ruins, so in order to find parts for things like them you would have to explore said ruins

[burnt fulcrum]

no

[west stream]

no

[delicate pulsar]

oh

thank god

[carmine relic]

Nope. They will send an announcement when it happens, though

[wooden kelp]

Someone should become the "malicious no-killing witch of the mountain"

[burnt fulcrum]

thursday

[maiden nymph]

don't be so scared of them, if they are not toxic you have nothing to worry when moving them with a glass or sheet of paper

[celest maple]

be nice!

[clear wraith]

I'm here because the game promised a cozy community life-sim with no/optional combat. There's a zillion other titles out there where you have to kill things to progress, and I already know how I feel about it in my game life.

[carmine relic]

Yooo that's tomorrow!

[marsh basalt]

nah I thought he's gonna stick to the glass with his bug feet => too much force.

[past hatch]

I hope they answer my question

[celest maple]

"Tomorrow" is today here 🙂

[fresh granite]

I'm all for it that it should be optional

[marsh basalt]

he flew way better than anticipated

[maiden nymph]

Maybe watch the "I am a spider so what" anime that actually made me even move spiders with my bare hand

[past hatch]

[carmine relic]

Same. I don't know how many questions are "too many" though/

[fresh granite]

What is tomorrow?

[carmine relic]

Will they answer 5? 10? 100? 200?

[burnt fulcrum]

And this is why I answered with Thursday, cause it's already Thursday here in Europe c:

[past hatch]

Alot of the questions asked are duplicates

[wooden kelp]

All of them hopefully

[delicate pulsar]

Tomorrow is yesterday

[fresh granite]

Same here! Can't wait

[carmine relic]

I figure some obvious questions are gonna be weeded out, like the kinds FAQ covered

[faint dawn]

Also.. wanna know anothee way to be absolutely evil?...

[past hatch]

[maiden nymph]

you can also check out vlads document

[fresh granite]

I'm hoping around 30 questions

[mystic gale]

Yeah I doubt they'll bother with the many, many questions asked that are covered in the faq, apart from maybe clarifying or updating a few.

[celest maple]

Are we a community here in a Europe as well? That's good! Lets stick together! Light 🌞

[maiden nymph]

[eternal temple]

That 3am bedtime comin in hot

[native compass]

I don't think there were even 200 distinct questions, because at least 40+ of them were some variant of "monetization how?" despite the fact that the FAQs explicitly have said they're not going to talk about monetization right now.

[low matrix]

no but soon ™ according to everyone here haha

[carmine relic]

That too

[delicate pulsar]

Hoping I get accepted

[carmine relic]

I hope everyone can react in that channel at some point so we can just hit em' with a 📰

[low matrix]

me too but i think we all do

[burnt fulcrum]

2:24 currently, and I'm starting to get sleepy, so don't worry about it

[spice wyvern]

[low matrix]

sad that not all of us will though

[lavish remnant]

Just tell the devs that if you don't get in then Einar will get significantly less pebbles. That sounds like a valid threat.

[fresh granite]

In how many hours will this Q&A be released, i'll set a timer

[maiden nymph]

timezone buddy

[wooden kelp]

It is but there might be live streamers who will take advice from the people watching. Might make people feel like they are actually playing

[lavish remnant]

o.O

[celest maple]

is palia free

[still fog]

There's an NDA in place, so the alpha won't even be streamed

[burnt fulcrum]

The Pre-Alpha will be under NDA

[patent dust]

except people cant stream it

[wooden kelp]

No

[undone rover]

Pre alpha is nda

[celest maple]

dam

[fresh granite]

Me watching a stream of a game that I really want to play feels like torture

[burnt fulcrum]

We don't know

[patent dust]

it wont be discussed

[lavish remnant]

I have never watched a stream and thought "It's like I'm playing the game!"

[patent dust]

aight

[still fog]

Kek

[undone rover]

It's not confirmed whether is will be pay to play or not

[fresh granite]

Me neither

[quick torrent]

Not going to lie, if this world comes with wasps imma be ticked

[fresh granite]

I don't care if I have to pay something, this game looks like it has all that I want

[magic brook]

what if it comes out with ticks though

[lavish remnant]

I had wasps in my backyard, but just like probably ingame, I nuked them.

[celest maple]

Everyone heard of patience? Lets follow that, be in the community, listen - give feedback. Will be awesome!

[maiden nymph]

I'll play the game as well no matter the payment model, the question then is just for "how long"

[lavish remnant]

Patience might be a virtue, but I'm not a virtuous person.

[clear wraith]

Being excited is so much fun tho!

[maiden nymph]

i want the pre-alpha and i want it now, i can't wait, no way that i can

[carmine relic]

Here's hoping the excitement is for something crazy good, too, though!

[fresh granite]

You can be patient -and- have the burning desire to play the game

[celest maple]

Yapp

[lavish remnant]

I should've devoted myself to science so I could figure how to go into cryo-hibernation inbetween game launches.

[quick torrent]

If it comes with that option maaaaybe wont be an issue... but Im hoping for chill not kill

[slim mountain]

I’ll wait impatiently with you

[mystic gale]

Remember, we'll be expected to have fun but also to be as helpful as possible to the devs and report any bugs and give lots of constructive feedback both about what we do and don't like!

[magic brook]

My heart burns with the desire to make my own hobbit hole

[slim mountain]

I just want to play economy.

[celest maple]

when

[carmine relic]

I want my wizard house

[lavish remnant]

I mean....there's suppose to be hunting so.......

[burnt fulcrum]

pre-alpha: Soon TM

[wooden kelp]

How many people are going to try and date the npc's?

[fresh granite]

Are you guys going to be doing roleplaying? Bcs I am

[celest maple]

TM?

[burnt fulcrum]

Trademarked

[celest maple]

i see

[maiden nymph]

I would transfer my mind into some storage, no body, no need to sleep sleep, and time does not affect me

[pulsar tulip]

Wow the unofficial doc with the FAQ is really helpful

[celest maple]

Even if you can't get married "officially" i bet, if you have the guild/players in the game that will support if you want to do so (but i want it to be so)

[quick torrent]

Is it critical to game play or optional?

[magic brook]

If there is a roleplay community built up I def will, I miss writing

[fresh granite]

Seems to be that it'll be a great game for fantasy RP

[lavish remnant]

I would assume you could devote yourself to certain life skills, and would hopefully be able to cook without meat.

[magic brook]

Seems like it, I'll cross my fingers for it!

[undone rover]

Well why would you hunt in an mmo

[magic brook]

Gotta hunt for all the swell stuff to find in the world

[toxic walrus]

I hope everyone is having a lovely day ❤️

[lavish remnant]

For your cooking skill? Maybe animal husbandry might need meat for certain species, who knows lol

[serene crescent]

I agree, I think that if skills had a greater impact on what you can do it could be fun. Like a cooking skill that lets go you cook better foods that you can sell and such

[fresh granite]

I don't think there'll be meat stuff, seems like you can't have cattle either, but you can have greens

[magic brook]

Oh cool animal husbandry sounds neat, I've always wanted my own flock of dragons or gryphons

[wooden kelp]

I wanna be an alchemist

[lavish remnant]

aren't yakmoos essentially cattle?

[undone rover]

Well then you're just playing high quality farm ville

[serene crescent]

Id want to be a chef, that seems fun

[celest maple]

Broccoli for everyone! Will be able to gather on all kind of fields, houses, heaven, space, etc. xD

[brave pier]

What about humane, lab meat?

[wintry sleet]

You can hunt so there is meat

[clear wraith]

Yeah, but I'm a vegetarian IRL and I'd love to have an expansive cooking tree with nothing but plants and some spoiled livestock for milk/eggs.

[magic brook]

Be the innkeeper you wanna be, make the food, stir the drinks and keep the environment c o z y

[clear wraith]

(Not judging people who wanna throw down on some barbecue, but it'd be nice)

[carmine relic]

We probably will have loads of planty foods. Probably.

[wooden kelp]

Anybody else think this chat is just devolving to the plot of SAO

[lavish remnant]

Yeah that's what I'm saying thou, you might have the option to hunt but not NEED to.

[fresh granite]

Imagine running a tavern, that'd be so cool

[serene crescent]

i mean if its like botw where you choose the ingredients and make combinations then you could be a vegetarian

[rugged umbra]

Does anyone else sometimes want to live like a regular npc in MMO's? Like just living a simple life with a mundane job or something?

[carmine relic]

The only proper BBQ is hurling fireballs at anything edible

[zinc bay]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[serene crescent]

agree

[magic brook]

I hope there's clothes craftin' and stuff, fashion is my passion and I'd love to have a tailor shop

[lavish remnant]

I mean grilled pineapple is the shit.

[maiden nymph]

I just want to play as a honest settler in a peaceful setting. Hopefully there is customized tailoring for cloths or furniture crafting, that could grab my attention for a long time.

[brave pier]

Grilled pineapple + Tajin

[undone rover]

I'm all aboard for the social/rp and farming stuff but I want hunting and competitive stuff to

[wooden kelp]

Best food is all the wheat

[fresh granite]

I hope the clothing isn't all flashy, bright and big. I like the simple medieval themed clothing, the ones NPCs would wear

[maiden nymph]

I want cooking competitions 👀

[magic brook]

Seems like lots of options! I could be an innkeeper maybe, a tailor or a gremlin living away deep in the mountains

[hazy roost]

a system that provides compound buffs based on the food and drink you intake would be cool. get different compound buffs from different combinations to help encourage variety.

[lavish remnant]

I saw Tajin in a youtube video yesterday and now I've seen it in several places, it's like getting a car then suddenly seeing ur same car everywhere

[clear wraith]

Every fruit + Tajin

[brave pier]

Lol so weird when that happens xD

[lavish remnant]

lol

[celest maple]

A lot of nice sallat/vegies that are nice to put on tha grill.

[lavish remnant]

I'll have to check out tajin lol

[maiden nymph]

Technically you can grill anything non-liquid

[gray mural]

If clothes are anything like this, I think they nailed it #🌠│official-art message

[clear wraith]

If you can't get your hands on ready-made tajin, try taking a fruit like pineapple or mango and liberally basting it in lime juice, salt, and chili powder.

[brave pier]

Check out Slap Ya Momma, too.

[delicate pulsar]

"Tactical Hunting" is something i would totally support in this game, having to follow the steps of the thing you wanna catch and then having to get close to it by being stealthy or something like that

[clear wraith]

It'll rock your world I promise.

[undone rover]

I just thought of a great question for the q&a but it's already closed sadly

[celest maple]

You can grill fat 😮 but it will drop down, but it gets liquid

[magic brook]

Oooh, those look nice

[fresh granite]

Yeah, those look awesome

[gray mural]

Yep!

[wooden kelp]

So far my time on this server the jobs i have seen people want are king, queen, royal guards, tavern owners, chefs, farmer, and alchemist

[magic brook]

Then I'll change my mind, I want to be a gremlin

[brave pier]

Jester would be fun

[magic brook]

In the mountains alone with my fungi

[slim mountain]

Economists

[fresh granite]

Maybe an adventurer, a fisher

[slim mountain]

Why did that tag you? Ugh

[undone rover]

For competitive stuff I have an idea of fishing competitions to see who can get the rarest/biggest but that would have a cheating problem

[maiden nymph]

not really if it's calculated on the server

[wooden kelp]

And for the bloddyer jobs there is hunter and player killers

[slim mountain]

The pinned doc said selling commodities won’t be a focus... pshhhh

[midnight lotus]

imagine cheating in a fishing mini game competition

[brave pier]

What is the deepest mechanic going to be? Would be really cool to have something super deep like economy simulator or something

[maiden nymph]

people cheat for everything, but i would not worry about cheaters in MMORPGs, it's more a issue on FPS games

[clear wraith]

They haven't really talked, last I checked, about how the ingame economy is going to work. Only that there is one and we'll see it when pre-alpha drops

[gentle birch]

I'd like to be a hunter, or at least something that uses those bows in the trailer.

[pulsar tulip]

If people cheat then Im just going to focus on my own gameplay tbh

[undone rover]

I mean like player made because no stuff has been confirmed in game yet, but if a player for example has a prize and the biggest fish wins someone could just keep it in their inventory then say they just caught it

[midnight lotus]

true but hopefully wont be as much of a problem since the game isnt based on combat

[magic brook]

Magic would be pretty cool or at least magical critters

[slim mountain]

Why did my emojis go away? That’s cold.

[delicate pulsar]

same. Don't know why some people cheat in rpg games\

[maiden nymph]

Yeah, i mean anything "chance" based will be decided on the server and you can't cheat that from your PC unless you hack into the server and change the gamecode or database 😛

[hazy roost]

id prefer to see a commodity trading system similar to Path of Exile. I like the idea of currency being more than a flat number used to spend on things

[delicate pulsar]

like, you don't enjoy the game, you make me enjoy less the game, you get banned, the devs get angry

[regal swallow]

Say hi and smile to everyone you meet. It opens doors to new adventures!

[still fog]

This is something that was mentioned a day or so ago, and I'm strongly on board with it

[pulsar tulip]

2 apples for a piece of wool ?

[delicate pulsar]

if you cheat, then beep you

[midnight lotus]

yes 100%

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/if-you-cheat-you-will-win-qotd-qoute-motto-nods-gif-12425147

[midnight lotus]

not morally

[magic brook]

Hahahah, you win before you get banned sure

[delicate pulsar]

I would rather have both

[celest maple]

Indeed!

[wooden kelp]

Can we get a animal tammer job?🤨

[regal swallow]

Deal if my pet can hang out with yours.

[spice wyvern]

[maiden nymph]

I would lie if i say i don't cheat on single player games if they make me grind something really stupid 👀

[magic brook]

Someone mentioned animal husbandry so that might tie into it!

[pulsar tulip]

sounds like a plan

[midnight lotus]

daily check of email now. nothing

[magic brook]

Oooh if there's pets we'll need a daycare

[warm thistle]

Can't find pictures of Chapaa and Chuu. Anyone have anything?

[midnight lotus]

hmmmm

[magic brook]

Someone has to be brave enough to watch all the

[gray mural]

#🌠│official-art message

[warm thistle]

or are these just discord cults at this point lol

[wooden kelp]

Look at community art

[gray mural]

Both Chapaa and Chuu are the same thing also

[magic brook]

Both it seems like

[maiden nymph]

I made a alert program for my raspberrypi, if i get a mail from palia or containing the word palia it will play Africa from Toto 👀

so i don't have to check

[warm thistle]

Ooh nice, thanks for the link

[midnight lotus]

holy shit that is the coolest thing i have ever heard of in a while! XD

[regal swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/movies-willywonka-charlieandthechocolatefactory-classicmovies-moviegif-gif-3483573

[wooden kelp]

But if you dont get picked what would you do?

[pulsar tulip]

thats amazing

If i dont get picked I will just cry

[midnight lotus]

yay that's about right

[maiden nymph]

Waiting for the next rain down in africa

[rain hemlock]

Greetings, how's the game?

[clear wraith]

Cozy

[magic brook]

If you don't get picked just choose it to play Rick Astley instead

[undone rover]

Not released ;[

[pulsar tulip]

still waiting on it ;-;

[regal swallow]

Hoping to share this beautiful world with all of you!

[rain hemlock]

You already are

[tranquil sigil]

best guess as to when we get to play? Weeks, months, years?

[regal swallow]

Cant wait to meet you all in game so we can go on a new adventure everyday

[wooden kelp]

He should just make it play rickrool everyday until he is selected

[maiden nymph]

I mean they said the pre-alpha is soon, so it won't be to long but the release could take another year or two possibly

[midnight lotus]

im guessing weeks

[regal swallow]

Butterfly catching one day. Fishing the next. Building another day.

[magic brook]

Heheh, that's a good idea

[fresh granite]

Pre-alpha wouldn't be longer away than a quarter of a year, actually :))))

[rain hemlock]

You know the rules and so do I

[wooden kelp]

Pre-alpha feels longer than the beggining of Quarantine

[pulsar tulip]

TRUEEE

[tranquil sigil]

i get Viva pinta vibes, is it just me?

[maiden nymph]

You know i've been waiting for the WildStar Server emulator to finish for 2 years now and it will probably take another 3 to be really usable 👀 Waiting for the pre-alpha isn't so bad, but still i'm super duper hyper hyped

[clear wraith]

... I haven't thought of Viva Pinata in forever, but I played the heck outta that game

[tranquil sigil]

its still so playable...amazing really

[maiden nymph]

Viva Pinata was a nice game, but yeah it has some vibes of that game

[mystic gale]

I loved VP and TiP (Which was really just kind of like a expansion pack of the first game) so much.

Incredible music and a great aesthetic

[rain hemlock]

Don't know these games

[tranquil sigil]

its a keeper for sure

[marsh basalt]

[exotic atlas]

Noobs i'm waiting for npcs in project zomboid for about 10 years.

[clear wraith]

Now I've decided if/when we get pets we better be able to feed them treats

[fresh granite]

I'm hoping there's a way of making machinimas in the game

[maiden nymph]

been waiting for a finished Dwarf Fortress for 14 years now 👀

[celest maple]

Follow up?

[exotic atlas]

Nel, you said something else before. I Won

[maiden nymph]

It's getting a commercial release now with actual graphics i'm super hyped for that as well

[sour gorge]

If you haven;t seen Bo Burnhams new special go watch it.

[celest maple]

Haha, I know that style. 😉

[fresh granite]

"As one of the newly reemerged humans, you will have to find your place in the world. Uncover the mysteries of humanity’s past or just live a simple life - you decide!"

[sour gorge]

Have you seen his other stuff?

Either way the newest one is just amazing,

[celest maple]

Welcome to the... No I Haven't let me know!

[exotic atlas]

Play sao intro*

[maiden nymph]

Now that i think about it i should name my character "Diocletian" like the roman emperor who turned into a cabbage farmer to live a peaceful life

[neat hull]

How cool is cooperative story-making? I’m super hyped. I can’t wait to see what tales we’ll all weave together ✨

[magic brook]

Hrm... to uncover untold mysteries of humanity's past or live out my dream fantasy of a house full of plants and animals... or both...

[clear wraith]

Both

[dapper scaffold]

can't wait for the sick nasty PvP

[celest maple]

🎠

[neat hull]

*wonders if that’s who cabbage guy was based on in Avatar The Last Airbender, or just a neat coincidence

[sour gorge]

there is no pvp

[clear wraith]

Also @magic brook You weirding me out becaue I used to hang with someone on WoW who went by that name.

[dapper scaffold]

Player vs Plants gonna be sick

[wooden kelp]

Oh god now there is nobility AND a preseident

[maiden nymph]

Maybe that's coincidence, but that dude actually was offered to be emperor again and said "If you could come here and see the splendid cabbages I have grown with my own hands, then you would not ask such a thing of me"

[exotic atlas]

Players vs crops

[neat hull]

LOL

[magic brook]

it's a good name i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[celest maple]

I’m kind of curious what the progression will be like since there is no gear grind or pvp or dungeons / raids etc I’m excited but nervous kind of at the same time for the longevity of this game.

[warped lynx]

I keep checking my email for a Palia pre-alpha invite lol. I can't be the only one. So eager to play it.

[pulsar tinsel]

Players vs Property
