Summon the vote brigade!

[crystal topaz]

31k online now. This should be easy!

[left pebble]

We got real close last time around and we are many more now!

[strong jay]

sorry guys, where's that we need to vote? I'm a bit lost

[little silo]

Begins casting a dark ritual to summon more votes

[left pebble]

#📮│public-polls

[crystal topaz]

Only 1642 of them get notified of a villager vote though.

[little silo]

Its working! Muahahaha

[void imp]

i think last time we had just over 8k

[uncut bear]

We’re 100,000+ strong now

[void imp]

oop yeah sorry disturbo i went and calculated and missed your message

[summer obsidian]

yeah, we just barely hit 8K last time, so we gotta step up our game 😄

[left pebble]

Oh yeah we totally were over 8000

Should be ez pz this time around

Even more given the ping and everything

[loud axle]

https://pasteboard.co/K7dcGz0.png

DO YOU ALL SEE THAT

[summer obsidian]

you are so bad Roan 😂

[loud axle]

(I miss being able to actually put images in here)

[little silo]

Omg that code worked for me!

[crystal topaz]

lol

[little silo]

Brb guys gonna go install the alpha. Thanks Roan!

[loud axle]

Just had to turn up the brightness a bit!

[uncut bear]

Lol

[little silo]

Key says i can invite a friend! Who's it gonna be...

[tough orchid]

you can just open in a new tab and copy and paste the link here

https://i.gyazo.com/004c17e6060c2b5b58df751b89e26ced.png

[uncut bear]

Give it to fish

[loud axle]

Mind = Blown

[knotty crown]

Yo Nel, I'm so paranoid you're going to drop a hint like it that I actually took your image and opened it in notepad lol

[uncut bear]

He really wants to go fishing

[knotty crown]

Talos Principle taught me that xD

[distant oar]

Oh my goodness! Okay listen, I'm evil but I'm not that evil.

[cedar fractal]

I wonder if we can be lepidopterists

[knotty crown]

psssh, I'd love it if you did tho

[loud axle]

There is a butterfly net in the trailer...

[tough orchid]

bug catching is confirmed

[dawn hill]

or is that a chuu net ?

[left pebble]

Hide the release date of the pre alpha keys on the metadata of an image 😳

[tough orchid]

I've probably spent 6 hours inspecting elements for any hidden names

it's how i found the Shimmerfly Migration picture actually

[left pebble]

Yeah, we don't talk much about that image

But the fact that shimmerflies migrate is interesting

[knotty crown]

Nel, trust me, that's not evil. Evil is that one secret mission/quest in The Secret World where you looked at the hands of a clock and other things to step-by-step find your way to the end and none of it was in the quest log, and you needed to look up irl knowledge to figure it out.

[loud axle]

The shimmerfly migration pic is probably my favorite we have so far

[distant oar]

You know, that's on me. I should have learned from the OW days that people will inspect elements for names xD

[crystal topaz]

That game had amazing quests

[tough orchid]

I'm glad I re-affirmed an ancient fear

[knotty crown]

oh wait, it was in the quest log, it just never actaul gave u the really helpful info. I think this was it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FwO9H5mt4k

[crystal topaz]

morse code, bible verses, clock arm, riddles... you actually had to think.

Yea, the quest log was basically just "figure it out".

[cedar fractal]

thinking is overrated

[knotty crown]

yup

[fringe minnow]

Oof

[knotty crown]

I'm all for things like that, as long as all the info is in-game >.>

[crystal topaz]

It had an in-game web browser though, so it was technically still in-game 😛

[left pebble]

Looks like we aren't getting any more context for images in their filenames, sad

[knotty crown]

True Zal but still

[tough orchid]

It was bound to happen

[crystal topaz]

I know, and I agree. The clues to stuff should be in-game.

[knotty crown]

I'm seriously all for that language learning skill to study murals and junk, and finding secret areas of libraries, and dusting off walls to find symbols.

Seriously, I want that in this game.

[crystal topaz]

Absolutely!

[left pebble]

Flashforward to next year, where we will all be writing in ancient human runes

[knotty crown]

It shouldn't be that easy to learn anything in games imo

Sick and tired of people just rushing content

[uncut bear]

Really in depth stuff

[shrewd fiber]

everyone's voting for the leggy femme figure
I just want the dadbod-lookin' outline

[tough orchid]

V //vV//VVv\v?

[crystal topaz]

That's how most MMOs end up after a while.

[shrewd fiber]

that pickaxe...

[ocean smelt]

Same 🥺

[knotty crown]

I just want to know why she looks like a vampire

[left pebble]

What do you mean? A year is plenty of time to decipher a couple of runes through context (if they do have meaning)

[uncut bear]

Possible race?

[knotty crown]

key term being a couple

not the entire language

[left pebble]

Ah I misspoke

[knotty crown]

on that note, for magic especially, I prefer it when players actually have to study it

[tough orchid]

Those two def have a dark academia aesthetic to them

[left pebble]

I meant alphabet

[knotty crown]

I don't mind learning the alphabet that quickly as long as it only means we know a few words (but through more study, can learn more)

[potent estuary]

Hi Guys.

[cinder comet]

Y"all better VOTE!

[knotty crown]

A great way to do this is to make it so that rather than just grinding, we have to actually translate passages, and find alluded-to locations.

[cinder comet]

I want that second new character!

[dawn hill]

From the looks of her ears I'd put her more towards an elf race than vampire

[tough orchid]

dont we all !

[knotty crown]

I hope that elf model can be made short, I want my goblin body 🙂

[tough orchid]

I wonder what their professions are

[cinder comet]

vote or else

[faint dawn]

Ahh i feel muchbetter with a nap and full belly..

[cinder comet]

I will find a way to turn you into pebbles and feed you to Einar 💀

[magic brook]

oh no number 2 is losing again 😭

[left pebble]

Funnily enough we have seen every character in the community vote, before the community vote lol

[celest maple]

Scary!

[cinder comet]

That we have, but we don't know what they do.

[left pebble]

Oh yes yes

I'm happy we get to know them a little bit

[cinder comet]

As they reveal more characters it gives us a little bi tof insight as to game play mechanics which is nice.

[tough orchid]

also more insight into the star-gates and floating continents

[cinder comet]

Yesss!

[dawn hill]

Any theory about the bottle on her belt loop ?

[void imp]

BUT AN ENTIRELY NEW ONE AT 8K THO 💃

h y p e

[faint dawn]

I just want to know the rest of Ashura's information..

Hes male..
Runs the yakmoo tavern..
Likely gives you the house based off trailer...

[cinder comet]

VOTE OR ELSE 💪

(I will put you in a kiddie pool with baby alligators in it.)

[cedar fractal]

Zeki has multiple rings, maybe that means players can have multiple rings too...

[cinder comet]

(Though actually I would do this to myself because g a t o r s)

[tough orchid]

could be a water bottle, could be a potion...

[tough orchid]

YES normalize RINGS IN MMOS

[knotty crown]

I want a kiddie pool with baby alligators to be possible furniture

[void imp]

theres more bottles
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/608357124950720534/855514149420007454/Media-Crousel04.jpg

[cinder comet]

LMAO

MMOs do have rings? Don't they?

[tough orchid]

red and blue i immediately think of health and mana

[knotty crown]

yes juliet but like you can only equip 2 max

[crystal topaz]

Green is usually stamina

[cedar fractal]

MMOs typically have 1 ring per hand

[crystal topaz]

...or poison!

[tough orchid]

Green potion bottles give me nightmares from Divinity OS2

[knotty crown]

Zal, green is speed

[dawn hill]

now that pic leans more towards potions than just water

[knotty crown]

yellow is stamina

[cedar fractal]

Blue is mana

Red health

[knotty crown]

purple is dragon's blood

[crystal topaz]

Red is death

[left pebble]

Classic health, stamina and mana colors

[potent estuary]

Yeah

[uncut bear]

They said they’re wasn’t a health bar or something so red might be strength

[tough orchid]

https://i.gyazo.com/fdb2473070e64183bc56c7491664cefb.png

[potent estuary]

Maybe there are some boost potions for 5-10 minutes

[tough orchid]

WHAT A BOP

[left pebble]

My prediction for the next char is that it will be an elderly person

[void imp]

i do wonder about the humans all looking roughly the same age

[cedar fractal]

Maybe there will be disabled NPCs etc too

[hidden lynx]

Good Timezone everyone! 😄 Sorry for being MIA this week its been a no fun brain week ya know? I hope you are all having a wonderful productive week and have the best heckin weekend 😄

[knotty crown]

Red: Health
Blue: Magic
Yellow: Stamina
Green: Speed
Orange: Strength
Purple: Zest
Pink: Transformation
Brown: just don't
White or Clear: -clears potion effects-
Black: That's ink, stupid.
Rainbow: ???

[wispy wyvern]

Ditto on the no fun brain week.

[hidden lynx]

hugs Kae ❤️

[celest maple]

Rainbow makes you happy?

[dawn hill]

Rainbow is saved for Fri & Sat nights .... 😉

[knotty crown]

Rainbow makes you hiiiigh

[cedar fractal]

Rainbow turns you into a unicorn

[knotty crown]

Nah Pink is transformation

love how no one laughed at the black potion one

[cedar fractal]

Squid ink

Used for writing or cooking

Sounds good to me

[knotty crown]

maybe I should have made white glue

[dawn hill]

That would be the last potion on my belt before I'd even consider drinking it ....

[celest maple]

Hehehe, why use potion for ink when you can fish squids and carry it on your back?

[knotty crown]

yeah mhm you try to use ink directly from a squid when you actually need the ink

[celest maple]

It's the world of Palia! Don't forget 🙂

[void imp]

there's one with a prothesis on the website

[knotty crown]

prok, you will literally bathe in ink every time u try

[humble gull]

yoo when alpha releases

[wispy wyvern]

We dont know yet

[celest maple]

We'll see, too early to say.

[past vessel]

I can't wait honestly.

[dawn hill]

MMM black potion...I feel funnyyyy... . . . OH! reincarnation potion but um hey why am I a dung beetle ?

[knotty crown]

If we keep asking, they'll never release it

[knotty crown]

forgot to mention, if the bottle has a skull or XXX on it, it's a different kind of potion...

[past vessel]

Every time someone asks, S6 adds another hour to release date

[dawn hill]

Could have thought of that before I have spend my next life pushing ball of dung around

Oh well maybe thats my Palia occupation

[sudden mango]

[knotty crown]

dung beetle is a Palia profession confirmed

[summer skiff]

when alpha releases?

when alpha releases?

[knotty crown]

y'know what irks me?

[cinder comet]

I've creeped what Nel is listening to and she'll listen to some bangers.

[knotty crown]

In S4 League it was hard enough to get into S4, let alone S5. But these devs are so arrogant they think they're S6. psh

[tough orchid]

She’s got some of the best playlists around

[cinder comet]

My playlist is all emo/punk music 💀

[knotty crown]

If that playlist includes Essenger, she gets my approval

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX8V45bqgOU

[cinder comet]

A lot of My CHemical Romance haha

[tough orchid]

I was gonna say Simple Plan or Panic lmao

[celest maple]

Electronic is nice!

[cinder comet]

BOTH 😂

[knotty crown]

it's synthwave you scrub

[past vessel]

Blessed my chemical romance.

[tough orchid]

Glad to know we’ve all been emo at some point, and some of us never left that stage LOL

[celest maple]

Essenger stands on the cutting edge of electronic music, blending an array of influences for a sound that pays tribute to modern alt rock, EDM, and synthwave. 👍

[knotty crown]

sure mhm

[safe fern]

Ah, I have tickets to MCR's reunion tour but it's been delayed two years now

[forest hare]

👍 👋 hello

[knotty crown]

Neon.fm great radio station

[celest maple]

Hello and welcome 🙂

[knotty crown]

Everybody else: MCR, Panic at the Disco
Me: The Birthday Massacre, Kidneythieves

[cinder comet]

NOOOO. 2022 right? I plan on going too lmao.

Alright I"m done, sorry. Off topic. 😂

[knotty crown]

Lacuna Coil, Kill Hannah, Black Veil Brides, yum yum...

[tough orchid]

There’s some characters in Palia that’d probably listen to our music

[past vessel]

I'd weep

[safe fern]

Yep 😭 I've wanted to see them for over a decade though I can wait a little longer. Sorry also for off topic

[tough orchid]

Einar is definitely a Smash Mouth fan

[cedar fractal]

Dark ambient is mostly what I listen to

[knotty crown]

I'd like to think Palia doesn't have our levels of angst

[celest maple]

I like Aqua xD ... or not

[knotty crown]

I listened to dark industrial music at one point

[cinder comet]

I often listen to music loudly while doing any sort of Raid / Dungeon, and some nice lo-fi for games like SDV

Although when doing the Skull area of SDV I had MCR blaring lmao.

Time to build a playlist for Palia? 🤔

[knotty crown]

ngl in GTA5 I constantly had the Funk station on

[celest maple]

I like most kind of music, classic, house, synth, italodisco, pop new and old etc. But prefer it to be happy touch in the songs.

[cinder comet]

It would be fun to build a Palia play list.

[knotty crown]

Robert Miles ruined me for electronic, Synthwave managed to bring back that awesomeness

[loud axle]

I want the OST~

[cinder comet]

Oooo! Hopefully they put it up on Spotify!

[safe fern]

Intriguing, what would you put on it?

[knotty crown]

a ring

.>

[dawn hill]

Think we'll all be hung up on listening to the in game music for awhile

[faint dawn]

#2's glasses...

If they had #3's hair.. thy'd come out screaming "SHARON"

[cinder comet]

I feel like for Palia some lo-fi for movie instrumentals would be great. Something with the same energy as 'Merry Go Round' from Howl's Moving Castle is a great mood IMO.

Nel likes Doja Cat! Yaaas. 😂

[safe fern]

Ahh now that's a good soundtrack, the game definitely has ghibli vibes

[knotty crown]

Palia I'd probably put on Wizards In Winter, The Devil in the Wishing Well, and Lights (Ellie Goulding), music light that.

[cinder comet]

Ohh, perfect.

[cedar fractal]

Deep Forest

[knotty crown]

and when I get bored of that, just put on S4 League soundtrack LOL

[wheat falcon]

hello , and have a nice day ))

[cinder comet]

Or obscure Disney music to pass the time while playing lmao. Like I 2 I 🤔

[void imp]

hello 👋

[celest maple]

Hi to you as well 🙂

[knotty crown]

I might play Sea of Tea every now and then, too

i really should make this playlist omg

[safe fern]

Do eet

[knotty crown]

not today lol

[celest maple]

Do it and send it when it's up and ready. 🙂

[knotty crown]

send it through what lol

[celest maple]

Do you have Spotify?

[knotty crown]

no

[gritty sable]

Hm I wonder whose getting revealed in the villager vote xD

[knotty crown]

i'm weird, I still have pandora

[celest maple]

owh, well - then old school list of the songs. Don't forget to add a dot before each song 😉

[past vessel]

Rip, #2s votes just keep getting lower. Cmon number two! D:

[knotty crown]

haha, we'll see

[celest maple]

And remember, the playlist should be like a story 🙂 (like an album)

[safe fern]

Not hot boi and that makes me sad

[frank peak]

How do you know he's hot? : o

[past vessel]

He hot

[safe fern]

He's on the website, we know what they look like just nothing else

[frank peak]

Well true i suppose

[safe fern]

Oh! Porter Robinson for the playlist

[cinder comet]

I hope they introduce some sort of character who can give insight to cooking for fishing in the game,

[safe fern]

They probably will, Zeki's factoids said he was friends with the tavern chef, maybe them?

[celest maple]

Voted in #📮│public-polls !

[cinder comet]

Yeah I'm just really stoked to see anything related to cooking

Man, how many days strong are we going right now? THis was out June..3rd? It's the 18th now?

[uncut bear]

Gosh cooking. Are you a part of the group we’re putting together to be master chefs?

[cinder comet]

Uh, no but I would love to be!

[void imp]

does someone have the image of the trashcan chapaa?

[knotty crown]

not sure if I can pull that off, the songs are honestly random compared to each other. If you like story albums, try Aviators

[cinder comet]

I was a culinary professional for years befoer I moved up to my current position. I love cooking

[knotty crown]

I'm totally adding Supernova Girl and you can't stop me

[uncut bear]

We would love to have you! We’ve got people who will specialize in gathering the materials and then the chefs who will be cooking up amazing dishes

[celest maple]

I was just joking 🙂 but if you create a list it would be fun to listen!

[cinder comet]

Oooo count me in!

My favorite thing to do is run around our kitchen right now at work and pretend to be Gordon Ramsey after a busy night lmao.

[knotty crown]

some "songs" will be hella obscure, like the "music" from that CryGaia bee video

[cinder comet]

Actually I just remembered Sunday I offered to work in place of our Exec. Chef so he can take off Father's Day. 🤔

[knotty crown]

i gotta find the video first tho ):

[safe fern]

FATHERS DAY

Thank you ><

[cinder comet]

If we can get a food sharing channel I'll share some of our food one da

[uncut bear]

I second this idea

[ocean smelt]

tfw you'll never eat at juliet's restaurant

🥺

[celest maple]

In Sweden it's in November 🙂

[cinder comet]

Just come to FL and you can! Haha

[knotty crown]

Prokzie I found the video

https://vimeo.com/4000825

CryGaia aka The Secret World creepy video

warning: scary

this will be one of the songs

[umbral kernel]

Heh' heh', always enjoy TSW related stuff.

[safe fern]

Maybe I could tell him I got confused lol...

[knotty crown]

this was really really old, from the crygaia arg

[celest maple]

Was that a song I just heard? 🙂

[knotty crown]

"song" sure

[summer obsidian]

If we ever have a fan meet-up, it should totally be at Juliet's restaurant! We'll reserve the whole place! 😄

[knotty crown]

anyway, I loved that video. Reminded me of Marble Hornets

[celest maple]

But that will definitely be an interesting list!

I pulled out the chapaa

[celest maple]

🙃

[cinder comet]

We already run DND nights with our staff, no reason we can't do a Palia one too!

(Our DND group is huge, like 15 people)

[carmine relic]

How do you deal with 15 players?

[violet tendon]

How is everyone today? I can’t WAIT for Palia!

[cinder comet]

I don't. I"m not the DM 😂

[uncut bear]

How do you keep track of everyone as a DM…

[cinder comet]

Me and you both

[uncut bear]

That sounds nightmarish

[carmine relic]

Ah.

[cinder comet]

Unsure. He is very experienced and loves doing it.

[umbral kernel]

I'm a GM and 8 is my limit on player count, lol.

Couldn't imagine 15.

[violet tendon]

It’s exactly the game I’ve been waiting for

[cinder comet]

Me TOO!

[knotty crown]

8? I don't think I could handle more than 4 tbh

[uncut bear]

I’m a DM for my group and we have 4-5 and it’s rough on me

[summer obsidian]

It would take like 2 hours to get through two rooms of a dungeon, haha!

[graceful orchid]

i miss dnd so much

[cinder comet]

We play for 3-4 hours

[bright forge]

Who else here is a DM?

[muted imp]

me!

[uncut bear]

@nimble idol is actually one of my beloved Players

[wispy wyvern]

🎲

[celest maple]

Lead/management by fear, start every day yelling at everyone for 5 minutes.

[cinder comet]

NOw, I wonder if Palia will have DND-like stats that effect how you play the game. Such as..it effects the task you are doing.

[summer obsidian]

I was only a DM for the board game Hero Quest 😂

[knotty crown]

I hope not

[uncut bear]

Why do you say that?

[cinder comet]

I would prefer it if it were more like SDV, where you can level what you want with added perks.

[knotty crown]

Just prefer skills to stay in their own lane, like in RS

[uncut bear]

That’s a fair point

[knotty crown]

And plus, DnD was confusing with it, if you mean stuff like Investigation, etc.

not always sure which one to use

[cinder comet]

Ohhh I do like how RS does skills.

[uncut bear]

Well it’s skills that are specialize variants of a major main skill

[knotty crown]

Tho I will say I prefer Mabinogi's way of training skills. You actually have to use the skill in certain ways to train a rank

[cinder comet]

I hope Palia lets you be that grindy to level up so many skills, and I don't say that facetiously. I genuinely enjoyed the grindy aspect of OS RS.

[uncut bear]

Grinding really is fun

@knotty crown I love grinding professions in wakfu

[cinder comet]

I love grinding. SOme people hate it, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I feel more accomplished when I finalize whatever task I'm doing.

[knotty crown]

wakfu professions were... okay

[cinder comet]

It's not as rewarding when it can be done quickly IMO

[umbral kernel]

As long as the grind is worth it in the end, always fine with it personally.

[uncut bear]

True

[bright forge]

If you grind with friend and reward is good it's pure pleasure for me

[celest maple]

Indeed, but it's a balance so the game works for several kind of players.

[cedar fractal]

As long as it doesn't get boring

[umbral kernel]

Massive grind for minor rewards? Meh.

[knotty crown]

I prefer a system where you can make anything, but your success chance depends on skill level. Mabi did that somewhat

[cinder comet]

Grinding on higher level items.

[safe fern]

I love grinding but got burnt out with it on Genshin, think because it's just endless there

[knotty crown]

Everyone who complains about skill grinding makes me remember LMS and I laugh

[safe fern]

Or rather doesn't feel like you're getting anywhere

[knotty crown]

LMS really changed the way I view MMOs

[uncut bear]

Terraria grinding really is my favorite. You could always just farm an enemy for its drop or you could build a specialized structure to farm all drops from many enemies. That’s just my personal preference

[knotty crown]

grind everything
pick up everything, you can sell everything to get even pennies
Selling in-game items for real money is great if done through the dev company

just lots of stuff really

Wakfu was also great about that picking up everything, for a different reason, but still

[bright forge]

I bet if in Palia you could pick everything some people will not miss a single flower

[summer skiff]

terraria got some nice beats

[knotty crown]

and the coolest thing was that devs in LMS could not see player character info, at all

which sounds weird but this way they didn't have any knowledge to interfere with any player's progress

[celest maple]

So then we need lots of players that plant new ones? 😮

[cinder comet]

I'm really interested to see how they do the economy, be able to balance it, and keep an effective player marketplace running.

[knotty crown]

There is an RPG game purely designed around picking flowers and its soundtrack is amazing

[ocean smelt]

Ditto. I'm half excited, half worried. 😂

[safe fern]

I'm interested?

[knotty crown]

https://rpgmaker.net/games/2522/

[summer obsidian]

It should be interesting

[knotty crown]

read the game description lol

[cinder comet]

By the end of the Beta when they have X amount of players they should be able to have a good idea how to balance the economy though. Itll show itself pretty early if people are able to take too much advantage of it

And I hope they have a way of dealing with bots who are just going to use the game for gold mining, or whatever currency they use.

[summer obsidian]

I'll own a kingdom based on my hold on the tomato market...

[knotty crown]

This grotesque abomination is the epitome of all that is wrong with the world. I can't believe I made this. It will gnaw away at your soul until there is nothing left but an empty, shattered shell, and then replace it with pink ponies. I originally started this game for a particularly giddy ex-girlfriend, whom I then broke up with on the basis that she actually liked it. If you load this game up, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You have been warned.

This is a simple flower-picking game designed to eat up your free time. I don't really know what genre this falls under. Is there an "unintentional" subcategory for horror games? I guess I'll go with "farming simulator."

Tips:
Pick flowers
Blow bubbles
Sell flowers
Make friends

[ocean smelt]

That's an excellent point. Hopefully they pay attention! Which they will, methinks.

[knotty crown]

the game's soundtrack is basically Barbie Girl but the entire genre

[cinder comet]

I think they will. They seem very devoted to creating a good player base rather than just trying to turn a profit

[bronze rivet]

I hope its easy to collect the currency, tired of tedious grinding. I'm trying to escape the real world not be in a recreation of it

[cinder comet]

LMao this is true.

[halcyon tiger]

Hi everyone. I'm pretty new so excuse this nooby question. Is the early access available to play yet?

[cinder comet]

NOt yet!

[bright forge]

Guys I know that's wild idea but what if there will be no currency in game?

[halcyon tiger]

Okay, thanks. :3

[cinder comet]

They'll be sending out Alpha Keys in a few weeks

[uncut bear]

[cinder comet]

And so you don't miss it there will be an announcement on the server.

[summer obsidian]

not yet, just fill out your pre-alpha questionnaire and then sit back, enjoy the community, and wait. Oh, and go vote in the poll on the #📮│public-polls channel! 😄

[halcyon tiger]

I signed up, but didn't get any further information, so I was wondering.

[bright forge]

It's pre-alpha not EA remember!

[loud axle]

I feel like I'm in the minority that actually enjoys grinding. Not like, boringly repetitive grinding, but I like to put in effort over a longer period of time and feel rewarded for it rather than be immediately gratified.

[knotty crown]

Also, people do joke about flower picking but yeah, it's more common in games than you think

[halcyon tiger]

Okay, gotcha.

[knotty crown]

I'd just actually prefer to use flowers for medicine and dyes for once

[celest maple]

Indeed!

[uncut bear]

You’re not alone my brother

[hidden lynx]

hey Rezilia >.> are you a DICE goblin queen? >.> or just a normal goblin queen ?

[bronze rivet]

I hear you. What I hate is grinding for very little reward, or having the items you want to so exspensive that only a handful of players get them

[halcyon tiger]

I feel the same, but it's important you're rewarded for it, though. I feel like Valheim did this well. It's grindy, but you feel like the progress is worth it.

[knotty crown]

what exactly do you mean by dice goblin queen?

[loud axle]

It's a blood goblin. A haemogoblin.

I'll see myself out now.

[regal swallow]

I do repetitive things like farming because its almost like a relaxing period

[celest maple]

Haha...

[bright forge]

How many dice sets you need to have to be a goblin?

[knotty crown]

well I could explain it to you with this really cringy fanfic for a game I only played a few months

[hidden lynx]

haha the answer is no then xD Dice Goblins are people who collect obscene amounts of dice - they are the best kind of goblins

[uncut bear]

I’d say at least 10

[cedar fractal]

Is that in binary?

[bright forge]

I have only 4 so nah...

[tight ruin]

i think the character vote is so overwhelmingly number 3 because it's vaguely waifu shaped

[wispy wyvern]

I'm married to one. I bought her a CR bag of hoarding for our anniversary last year.

[uncut bear]

I think I’ve got 6. 4 of which are metal dice

[hidden lynx]

JEALOUS - my hubs wont let me buy any dice cause money :/ i only have 4 D: its a travesty - i have a whole amazon wishlist just for dice and just added all of the witcher dice

[bright forge]

Metal dice are the worst ones!

[maiden nymph]

Good evening 🙂

[uncut bear]

Oh how I’d love one of those bags. Super excited for season 3 of CR btw

[uncut bear]

Awww why 😭

[hidden lynx]

We just started watching CR this year and are on episode 23 of CR2 xD very behind haha but we like it and are playing in a campaign withing exandria 😄

[cinder comet]

Alright, y'all have fun on the server. Back to work for me.

[uncut bear]

Who’s your favorite character so far and why is it nott?

[potent estuary]

What is CR?

[bright forge]

I mean they look like god himself made them I want them but the PRICE!

[uncut bear]

Critical role

[uncut bear]

Buy in bulk

[hidden lynx]

Honestly this has gotten harder as we have progressed - I basically love everyone but HATE Molly

[knotty crown]

no one wants to read my cringy fanfic? oh well

[maiden nymph]

I have only 100 dices, it's not a problem, yet

[bright forge]

Easy,Cad

[uncut bear]

I was gonna say something but SPOILERS

you can be a broke dice goblin so the amount doesn't really matter, its a mindset

[wispy wyvern]

Im still catching up on S1. I was very late to it.

[uncut bear]

I am intrigued

[wispy wyvern]

Yep, theyve become very fashionable for some reason 😉 and as a result theyre getting expensive.

[bright forge]

I it is a mind set I'm the dice goblin but broke one

[void imp]

Guys.. I think the devs forgot to send me my pre alpha invite

[summer obsidian]

they must have forgotten all of ours... 😦

[bright forge]

Check you email once more it will help

Guess the dapper looking elf guy is going to be the last villager we see :(

Good idea.. I'll be right back

The best is kept to for the end

[mystic gale]

But why can’t I have the best and have it sooner? I’m high maintenance!

[hidden lynx]

maybe one day haha but not anytime soon :/

[hybrid pasture]

when is the game coming out

[bright forge]

[vagrant night]

No luck.. I also checked the refrigerator and cabinets and there is still no new snacks in there either

[ruby prairie]

Hi

[void imp]

i posted dice to #🎮│other-games

[umbral kernel]

Check again, ya never know when food will manifest in your absence.

[bright forge]

Check trash can thy said the wild chapaa will deliverer it there

[vagrant night]

You're right.. I can never lose hope

[vagrant night]

This profile picture slays me

[mystic gale]

Check #❔│game-faqs and #❓│old-team-answers-alpha. Pre-alpha hasn’t started yet, only “soon”. That’s going to be a testing alpha, not just early access. We think some time a few weeks to a month or two from now.

[void imp]

people don't want the things they need 😔 he'll be loved

[hidden lynx]

oh ill post mine after this aram 😄

[void imp]

yes yes

[mystic gale]

I don’t have fancy dice because I don’t have anyone to use them with

[void imp]

i look forward to it my liege 🙇‍♀️

[vagrant night]

We postin dice ? I'm in .. just got a new set actually for our latest DND campaign

[maiden nymph]

I bought 1 copy of the D&D starter set in case any of my friends want to play it

never used it in 4 years

[knotty crown]

@uncut bear Btw when you're done, this was written back in the early stages of the games development and regions like Bobo, Loto, and the Wasteland were all in-game. My fanfic was meant to expand upon the lore, basically. (But the map image link was my map redesign)

[uncut bear]

I just finished. It’s pretty good and easy to understand. I enjoyed it

[knotty crown]

Cool. 🙂 Some locations are named before they actually get a name in the timeline so I was worried. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

As you can guess, Rezilia was meant to be the next incarnation.

[uncut bear]

The evolution of goblins was interesting.

[uncut bear]

I kinda figured 😆

[knotty crown]

Yeah, I based it as much as possible on actual fantasy goblin lore
even the koalinth
anyway, really glad you liked it 🙂

[mystic gale]

I have a shrinkwrapped copy of the Mouse Guard RPG that has met the same fate

[maiden nymph]

Didn't knew about this existing it looks awesome (artwise, no idea about the gameplay)

[mystic gale]

If you just love the art, I highly recommend the comics

Those are what the game is based on.

[uncut bear]

I’m sure if I understood more lore from the game I would appreciate what you wrote more but I’ve never heard of the game 😅

[knotty crown]

Sadly, the game didn't have much lore. There was really just Bobo(Bablo)/Loto having goblins and being near Acacia lol

dunno what it has now tho

but yeah the game was meant to be a top-down 2d runescape, originally

[vagrant night]

Oh god.. one of the dev team is playing cyberpunk.. I hope none of it bleeds over into palia

[mystic gale]

I’m sure we’re safe on that

[late dune]

a dev can play a casual game that has nothing to do with his job lool

[knotty crown]

I'm sure cyberpunk is fine if you can ignore the ginormous tidal wave of bugs

[novel plank]

ello ello (:

[safe fern]

Researching how not to make a game

[bright forge]

Cyberpunk is a good game a bugged one but good

[mystic gale]

Actually cyberpunk’s issues go well beyond the bugs, but it’s not terrible or anything.

[knotty crown]

Hey is prokzie still here? Wanted to recommend him one more song.

[maiden nymph]

Well did you dislike the art? Or the narrative? I'm mean what you say does not sound nice to the people who put in the effort to make this game.

[uncut bear]

Never got the chance to play cyberpunk

[brisk olive]

I hated cyberpunk - but I 100%'d it and did every quest, so the game has some merit

[vagrant night]

It is.. there were some parts that I absolutely loved. There are some absolutely awe inspiring things about it.

[brisk olive]

if you go into cyberpunk expecting a mediocre game you'll really enjoy it

[mystic gale]

It’s a game that reached like 60% of its potential, and every minute you play reminds you of both the 60 and the other 40.

[brisk olive]

I think most people I know who played it just had this sinking feeling of "Thats it?" the entire time they played it at launch (including myself)

[nova patio]

yeah im all about going into games with mediocrity in mind

[brisk olive]

you'd have periods of times where you're super engaged and loving the content

and then 5 minutes later you'd glitch through the floor and be reset 40 minutes because of bad checkpointing

if they fixed the checkpointing issue a lot of my problems with cyberpunk would've been resolved lol

[vagrant night]

And I don't mean to throw shade at the devs. Not at all. Many aspects of the game are fantastic and I know they were building everything from the ground up. It was mostly my fault for getting too hyped. But after I beat it (around 70 hours of play time ) I just felt .. unsatisfied

[mystic gale]

Yup. There’s so much of it that’s like this grand beautiful facade that’s paper thin and springs leaks constantly.

[languid sun]

I apologize for being that guy but... #🎮│other-games

[mystic gale]

No worries Steve

[brisk olive]

I think the easiest way to say it is Cyberpunk is done well enough for us to imagine what a good cyberpunk RPG would be like but cyberpunk 2077 just wasn't that ya feel?

and oop Steve u rite

[languid sun]

no harm done!

[bright forge]

Ok guys how do you think game will start?

[maiden nymph]

with an icon 😄

[languid sun]

"oh, you're finally awake..."

[vagrant night]

Let's beg the devs for 2 seconds of the into video

[crystal topaz]

Probably the S6 logo intro, then a menu.

[bright forge]

You all are comedy masters indeed

[crystal topaz]

Uhuh

[knotty crown]

here's the song 🙂 after this ima sleep, bye all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhr-qMseu-0

[celest maple]

Sleep well! Good night.

[maiden nymph]

You just happened to write something which offered a lot of attack surface for some bantering 😛

[crystal topaz]

I mean, something akin to this is probably it.

[uncut bear]

“You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.”

[mystic gale]

With an S6 logo

[bright forge]

I think we will appear from some portal in one of the ruins. What about that guys?

[brisk olive]

the FAQ said they weren't doing portals though right

[faint dawn]

How palia starts...

[brisk olive]

there is a ton of mystery around whatever their fast track system is actually gonna be

lmao dog you just wake up with amnesia and a pickaxe

[vagrant night]

I smell an Isekai

[crystal topaz]

"Stand back prisoner! We won't hesitate to kill you if you get in our way!" There, we got them all.

[bright forge]

Hold your shield down hero

[stable oar]

Yeah well Blizzard said that there wasn't a secret cow level so don't be surprised when portals appear!

[brisk olive]

!!

[maiden nymph]

I just catched up with the manga, i'm thinking about switching over to the light novel

[brisk olive]

I continue to be so curious how they intend to make a farming/community game like this into an MMO

I just wonder how you capture the feeling of progression with something like that

[maiden nymph]

Rare seeds that you only receive by collaborating with others

[languid sun]

I am curious if client-side mods like in Minecraft can run on Palia

like being able to use shaders while playing on a server

[brisk olive]

I would assume not Steve since the servers aren't hosted locally

[mystic gale]

Anything with a local client is theoretically moddable

[brisk olive]

but i guess they had WoW mods right?

[mystic gale]

Other MMOs have mods

It only requires some assets to be locally stored.

[maiden nymph]

you can inject shaders even without official mod support, but it can conflict with the TOS

[vagrant night]

Going to show a glimpse of the humans from the past. Then flash to the present in a fashion that presents your character as tied to humans some how.. maybe you are the last of a powerful human bloodline

[summer obsidian]

YAY!! 2,000 votes have been cast! 6,000 to go!!

[celest maple]

Yep, client and server based. So should be possible, if the team wants to add that kind of feature.

[crystal topaz]

You open your eyes to a beautiful sun, with no memory of anything. You wander through a thick forest, and are eventually greeted by one of the locals, who takes you to the town.

[mystic gale]

Or even if they don’t want to

[molten fog]

i cant wait to smoke and drink and chill on this game with friends

[brisk olive]

mood

I wanna get off of work and take care of my crops

[celest maple]

Yes, but are ways for them to find it out.

[mystic gale]

Depends, not always. The servers don’t usually interact constantly with every local file.

[knotty crown]

Prokzie! Did you see the song?

[molten fog]

wym grow crops can we can grow crops in this game nice

[knotty crown]

Scroll up a bit, I posted a video 🙂

[celest maple]

Maybe they will have a 3rd party anti cheat provider? I don't know. But I remember when playing Diablo 2, during that time they managed to ban a lot of players.

[uncut bear]

diablo 2 remake cough cough

[celest maple]

Yes, soon coming! 🙂

[mystic gale]

Like I say, it depends. On FFXIV modding is against TOS, but tons of people do it anyway, and they don’t really have a way of knowing or actively chase people for it unless you are blabbing about it in public channels or showing it off in a highly public place.

[brisk umbra]

[jovial stirrup]

hi there

:P

[undone girder]

Hello

[celest maple]

There will always be players trying to gain benefits . But hopefully they get banned. Never stop trying to find it out. Have never understood why people do that though... But that's my opinion 🙂

[mystic gale]

The mods aren’t cheats though. Almost exclusively just glamour mods, body model replacements and stuff like that.

[celest maple]

Depends if the team want to have mods in the game. Then it's fine and that they follow the rules/framework. But lets see 🙂

[jovial stirrup]

[mystic gale]

Like I say, depending on the structure of how the game interacts with their servers it’s likely to happen regardless. XD I don’t really participate in that community but I know it’s there. It’s harmless because it doesn’t show anywhere but on the local user’s screen.

[jovial stirrup]

I really want to be a part of pre-alpha :p

this game looks so cool

[brisk olive]

I do hope there is some competitive aspect to it

[mystic gale]

As do all 200,000 of us

[jovial stirrup]

xP

[celest maple]

Yep, indeed. But there are ways to find out. We'll see... 🙂

[mystic gale]

Those 1,400 slots are going to be precious as Wonka tickets

[mellow verge]

I think mods would be nice to have.
I know tons of people use them in wow and ESO.

Well, addons

[jovial stirrup]

._.

[fallen sun]

The competitive aspect comes from assuming another player's identity in order to take their pre-alpha key

[celest maple]

Yep, used mods in WoW and ESO as well. However, I was a bit strict by using it because I wanted to be sure that I knew what I was doing during different sequences.

[mellow verge]

I especially enjoy having addons for rp.
Like a character sheet others can see, a nice pop up window for longer posts and journal things

Wim and trp3 are some of the best rp addons ever

[vagrant night]

1400.. is that the real number for pre alpha?

[mellow verge]

Yes

[mystic gale]

Mods in FFXIV only change the contents of local files the servers never interact with except during patches, and then only to refresh them, so the risk is minimal.

[brisk olive]

I really hope they add the ability for players to play instruments, one of my favorite things from Mabinogi when I played it was being able to actually compose and play music

[regal swallow]

@crystal topaz you didn't need to send me a message in introductions i got it lol

[crystal topaz]

Nono, Khajiit Speak is the best MMO addon for RP.

[mystic gale]

Sure is, friend. It’s in the team answers channel

[mellow verge]

Nah bc people can just learn khajiit speak

Just talk in the third person

[crystal topaz]

lol, was just messing around in there

[mystic gale]

Having said that, that’s only a first wave, and they’ve said there will be more alpha and beta phases that will be larger.

[vagrant night]

Man.... My heart hurts now

[regal swallow]

Its been 11 days straight I waved everybody

[crystal topaz]

I know, you're doing good!

[mellow verge]

Dedication

[regal swallow]

I'm even doing it through family emergencies

[crystal topaz]

Damn

[ripe pewter]

I was wondering why someone commented "S H R E W" in reactions on my introduction... i thought i accidentally said some inside joke that i didn't understand yet

[crystal topaz]

It changes the player dialogue options to be more Khajiit-like.

[loud axle]

I've just taken to handing out flowers to everyone~ 😄

[left pebble]

I hope everything gets better shrew!!! Family comes first

[crystal topaz]

lol

[feral meadow]

I don't know why, but not reading the server for like a week gave me more hype for the game xDDD

[mellow verge]

I know. I was in a khajiit guild but we just learned the dialogue as it came out.
A lot of third person, moon talk and khajiit words

[crystal topaz]

haha, nice!

[regal swallow]

Yes but Welcome to Palia anyways!

[regal swallow]

It's not necessarily my family, it's my future family

Well anyways, what did i Miss today?

I missed some grass?

[crystal topaz]

A couple of pixels

[regal swallow]

okie!

[celest maple]

I was thinking the same regarding an image posted earlier.

[loud axle]

Yeah, Nel took us up on a challenge and won. 😛

[celest maple]

Hehe 🙂 fun

[left pebble]

:o family of SO?

[regal swallow]

Yeah her grandpa died from burns, the golf cart battery blew up

But that's why I've been on and off for the last two days 🙂

[celest maple]

Oh seriously? too bad to hear that.

[regal swallow]

We are also going to make that 8000 mark 😏

[celest maple]

Yep! Lets do it!

[regal swallow]

We just need the 3 communities to work together. Europe, Asia, and the Western World

we are already over 1/4 there

[wispy wyvern]

Sorry to hear that @regal swallow . My condolences.

[regal swallow]

Nah its okay 🙂 It's not Palia-related anyways

Back on topic

[wispy wyvern]

Shuttup and accept the sympathy damnit.

[regal swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-downey-jr-humility-gif-10503070

I also had a few thoughts as well

The Inn's back is on the water edge, I think Zeki controls the river trade

[tranquil tangle]

Hello maybe I’m one of the few from Europe! Friend invited me check this game out! It looks so promising so far! Tho sadly I’m assuming I won’t be able to get into the testing since it’s PC from what I can tell from the website? (Only got MacOS at home)

[wispy wyvern]

Hallo fellow european.

[regal swallow]

You get waved from me, even if you are not introductions

[indigo anvil]

I am also based in Europe

[tranquil tangle]

Ah so sorry didn’t see the introduction channel at the bottom!
And hello hello!

[celest maple]

Hope you will enjoy Palia Discord 🙂

[regal swallow]

Hello and welcome to the Mysterious and Wholesome world of Palia!

[tranquil tangle]

Thank you and thank you!

[regal swallow]

also don't forget to look at #📃│server-directory too

[knotty crown]

@undone girder By default, all char models are technically enby, but yes

[drowsy canopy]

lol i was confused haha

[celest maple]

Where does it state this?

[knotty crown]

sorry Nyx, discord changed the name select thing x.x;

alien, Char models aren't listed by gender, they're just models/presets

[wispy wyvern]

I am fairly certain its in the unofficial FAQ document

[celest maple]

Ok cool cool, that's neat

[wispy wyvern]

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit

[undone girder]

Does this mean I'd be able to create a character that doesn't have a gender?

[knotty crown]

and if by enby someone is referring to physique rather than pronouns, i'm sure one of the models/presets will fit the bill

[vapid forum]

Howdi-hooo!!!!

[knotty crown]

yes nyx

[vapid forum]

Hey everybody!!!

[undone girder]

🥰

[regal swallow]

Howdy!!

[wispy wyvern]

Hey Dr Nick!

[vapid forum]

Hahahahaha

[undone girder]

You have no idea how that makes me to know that I can actually make a character that actually represents me in a game

[knotty crown]

In other news, Zir/Zey is one of the better sounding alt pronouns, btw

[carmine relic]

Ahoy!

[wispy wyvern]

Yeah as I understand it there is no gender assignation, you just make the character you want look how you want them to.

[knotty crown]

yeah, maybe for dialogue reasons they might let people enter their own pronouns but we'll see

[undone girder]

👀 Those are my pronouns

[regal swallow]

A Paldom of Palsome Pals who love to adventure with other Pals!

[knotty crown]

yeah nyx that's why I said it xD

[carmine relic]

I just assume every Palia character refers to the player directly, like "you" and stuff

[undone girder]

Sorry

Just ecstatic

[knotty crown]

? nothing to apologize for 🙂

[regal swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-frozen-anna-kristen-bell-disney-gif-21619864

that's an order

it was a joke xD

You're invited on our adventures if you want to come along that is !

[patent dust]

goblins are my life T.T

[knotty crown]

s a m e

did you ever play city of steam? my fav goblins

[patent dust]

never heard of it :o

[knotty crown]

sad ):

it's okay tho, it's obscure 🙂

[carmine relic]

Man. So many queens n' witches

[knotty crown]

i mean i'm both tho

[vapid forum]

I’m a cat

[wispy wyvern]

The Palia community has been good for me, I've not had much exposure to some of the newer pronoun useage, so extra context and the kindly and informative peeps has helped me broaden my understanding.

[knotty crown]

see my avi, gambit 🙂

[vapid forum]

🐱

[undone girder]

I'm a witch mercenary

[carmine relic]

Both a witch AND a queen?

[regal swallow]

Meow Meow Anastasia is a yakmoo

[knotty crown]

I'm okay with whatever so long as someone doesn't change their pronoun literally every week

[undone girder]

Oh and an Amazon

[patent dust]

goblin witch queen

[vapid forum]

Nyaaaa!

[knotty crown]

that's like going "a knitter AND a cashier?" it's not that weird

[carmine relic]

Not weird but more as a kinda impressive thing, really

[shut hinge]

🩸

[carmine relic]

I'm just a wizard.

[knotty crown]

I just prefer witchcraft over wizardry is all

[crystal topaz]

Chess wizard!

[undone girder]

What kind of witchcraft do you practice?

[carmine relic]

Are wizardry and witchcraft different things? I keep asking myself that. And heck yea I am a chess wizard

[knotty crown]

are u talking irl or my rezilia persona?

[vapid forum]

I’ve got warned about the helicopter, I’m really sorry if I was offensive to someone

[undone girder]

Yes

[knotty crown]

irl none lol

[undone girder]

Oh

[nova patio]

lol

[vapid forum]

It won’t happen again

[knotty crown]

I've had witch friends tho irl

[undone girder]

Cool

I am a witch in irl, not actually a mercenary or an Amazon in irl

[knotty crown]

why not both xD

[shut hinge]

I’m a completely normal human being with a love of tomato

[knotty crown]

but that's cool 🙂 do you follow a deity or you just practice without one?

[languid sun]

Can you work out a spell so I suddenly earn more money out of nowhere

[undone girder]

I'm not of Greek decent and I do not have the physic to be a mercenary

[knotty crown]

that's not how it works steve

[languid sun]

;_;

[knotty crown]

nyx u take things literally 🙂

[shut hinge]

But it’s how it should work

[knotty crown]

rule of three

[undone girder]

Currently I do not follow a deity but I might in the future

[knotty crown]

not necessarily a must, but a good example (rule of three I mean)

[undone girder]

I thought it was a serious question

[upbeat tapir]

what is the most similar mmo to palia?
like grahics and gameplay

[undone girder]

Idk

[regal swallow]

Let's just give Steve a couple of pebbles in compensation at least

[knotty crown]

btw for those unaware, rule of three means that whatever spell you cast, the consequence of it is that it goes back to you threefold

[shut hinge]

We don’t really know that much about the gameplay so it’s hard to say

[languid sun]

this would set me for life

[knotty crown]

it's not a hard rule, more of a warning

[upbeat tapir]

true but like i just want to play an mmo that is not about fighting bots with upgraded swords

(never played an mmo btw)

[languid sun]

it's a hyper-competitive FPS BR with battle pass

[upbeat tapir]

lol

[undone girder]

BR?

[uncut bear]

This mmo is more world based. It’s relaxing game focused on lore and the community

[uncut bear]

Battle royale

[undone girder]

Ah

Grazie

[knotty crown]

anyway steve that's why "suddenly earn money out of nowhere" doesn't work. someone has to pay for a spell, whether the spell is good or bad.

[upbeat tapir]

yea exactly and i would love to know if theres something like it out there

[shut hinge]

There isn't really

[uncut bear]

You’re welcome

[upbeat tapir]

yea okay

[languid sun]

I guess the someone has to be extremely rich so it doesn't matter

Perhaps I can persuade Jeff Bezos to learn witchcraft

[knotty crown]

it's not literally pay, more like you'd have opportunities for fortune and then you or someone else would lose opportunities for fortune

[shut hinge]

The AI formerly known as Jeff Bezos

[undone girder]

I wish you luck with that my dude

[upbeat tapir]

stardew valley? a good try or?

[uncut bear]

That would be a feat in it of itself

[uncut bear]

Stardew was a really fun game. It’s played top down if you don’t mind that.

[knotty crown]

witchcraft is ritualistic, very contract-like, full of little details and can go very, very wrong. It's not like "pew pew" wizardry

[nova patio]

okay okay

[upbeat tapir]

it reminded me so much of the pokemon games i played on my nintendo 8 years ago

lol

[uncut bear]

Pew pew wizardry is fun though

[nova patio]

Discussing religion is actually cool in here? So politics is also fine then? seems like just asking for issues

[regal swallow]

The only magic i can bring sometimes is bringing smiles to my Pals' faces

[knotty crown]

we're not discussing religion, lettuce

[uncut bear]

The magic of friendship

[languid sun]

I wouldn't consider this discussion religious or argumentative in nature

[left pebble]

Whenever things start getting out of hand, everyone tries to move the conversation to a more agreed upon topic

[faint dawn]

Graphics? Think Sea of thieves and Genshin
Gameplay? think Animal crossing / Stardew / Harvest moon / Genshin's open world

[nova patio]

News to me, last I checked Wicca is very much an official religion in the US

[left pebble]

Civilized debate is very much possible

[upbeat tapir]

thank u so much

[knotty crown]

i expected nyx to say I got something wrong tbh xD

[regal swallow]

Will we see some sort of Druidic energy within Palia you think?

[left pebble]

I think so

[mellow verge]

It is

[upbeat tapir]

bruh this game is so perfect in my opinion lol

[nova patio]

Yes, it is

[upbeat tapir]

like the idea is just what mmo needs

[knotty crown]

Wicca practices witchcraft, witchcraft isn't religious by default

that's like saying reading books is christian because christians read books

[undone girder]

For the most yea this is accurate but there is some witchcraft that isn't contract like

[undone girder]

I had to go get something for my sibling

[uncut bear]

Druidcraft eh?

[languid sun]

this discussion will only get spicy if you choose to make it spicy; for now we're just enjoying ourselves

no need to get into specifics for no reason

[mellow verge]

There's some who do witchcraft but are atheist, it's a very broad practice

[upbeat tapir]

thats what i thought

[faint dawn]

I just don't really want "Witchcraft"....

[celest maple]

witchcraft is totally haram

[knotty crown]

Well, I know contracts just help things from getting out of control.

Honestly, the two works of media I've seen witchcraft be the most accurate, though you have to pay attention to notice, are Once Upon A Time (really emphasizes being clear in spells), and RuneScape (Swept Away is an amazing example). Still, those are fantasy, so on the surface they have "more" than in real life.

[undone girder]

What?

[knotty crown]

love the sarcasm

[mellow verge]

I haven't seen that show or played RS, I'll have to take a gander

Being safe and being precise with intent is very accurate though

[uncut bear]

You reference RS a lot. Lots of good memories?

[upbeat tapir]

how did this discussion end up here

[knotty crown]

yeah, good memories xD

[sand barn]

Evening folks, hope you're all doing well

[mellow verge]

I think someone wanted witchy stuff in Palia?

[undone girder]

Ciao

[languid sun]

I just wanted a get-rich-quick spell

[uncut bear]

I just remember the grand exchange and the party room

[knotty crown]

Palia has alchemy tho propbably, and a good alchemy system is hard enough LOL

I hate the grand exchange tbh

[left pebble]

From the art we've seen so far we haven't gotten any witchcraft vibes besides the lady with the scarabs, which could be more botanic oriented

[mellow verge]

Honestly? I did a couple spell jars like that recently and then some of my expensive stuff on a website sold! Lol 😂

[knotty crown]

^ yep it's more magitech vibes so possible alchemy

[undone girder]

Interesting

[knotty crown]

I could get into the difference between alchemy and those other things too but too long a convo, I should be in bed xD

[uncut bear]

Alchemy please. PLEASE GIVE US ALCHEMY

[carmine relic]

Heck yes

[mellow verge]

I hope so

[carmine relic]

"What does this potion do? I don't know but if I take the price down, will ya take it?"

[undone girder]

Sleep

[nimble idol]

GAMBIT!

[carmine relic]

Nev, my non-scottish friend!

[knotty crown]

alchemy principles can get very, very disturbing when you dive into them... x.x;

okay 🙂

[nimble idol]

I’ve been watching this conversation for like half an hour 😂

[carmine relic]

I just got back

[regal swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/seinfeld-celebration-yes-dance-welcome-gif-13615242

[nimble idol]

You know what I’m looking forward to the most?

[carmine relic]

Waht?

[nimble idol]

The soundtrack

[carmine relic]

Ah manm.

[keen aspen]

not everything in a FANTASY game needs to be "historical" accurate or has to orient itself on another game. i wouldnt mind if they invented their own alchemy system.

[spare pelican]

game still not out yet?

[nimble idol]

[carmine relic]

Someday. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a week? Can't tell until it's that day!

[dawn hill]

Well if you think of it this way there's still 2 more chars to reveal after the one next Monday ... maybe even 3 more if we get 8k votes

[nimble idol]

Yeah, I suspect Pre-Alpha in about 4-6 weeks

[maiden nymph]

I suspect it will start after we get the pre-alpha invites 👀

[nimble idol]

That’s a fair assumption

[maiden nymph]

But TBH i am still super hyped, which isn't so common for me

[mystic gale]

The game won't be "out" for quite awhile. What we're waiting on is a pre-alpha to help them test it out, which isn't an early access release.

[dusty bloom]

1 August pre Alpha?

[mystic gale]

Don't do that! Some people might read it and take it as fact

[upbeat tapir]

they did say a few months so its a good guess

[dusty bloom]

They also said somewhere months but not quarter

[upbeat tapir]

yea i have read that too

[mystic gale]

Not quarter(s). Could be one quarter.

[dusty bloom]

So its 2 to 5 months

[languid sun]

pre-alpha date is

[uncut bear]

[cold mesa]

i am ready for

[mystic gale]

We do know they will announce it in advance of when it happens.

[noble spoke]

hiii i just got here i saw a tik tok about the game earlier!

[uncut bear]

@nimble idol which villager did you vote for???

[upbeat tapir]

thats how i ended up here toooo

[cold mesa]

i need to be on that side of Tiktok

[noble spoke]

from madmorph?

[upbeat tapir]

yes

my gf send it to me and was like we need this

[noble spoke]

I found him today and stalked his account theres sooo many good games out there tht I had no idea existed

[upbeat tapir]

she plays mmo and i play comp fps so this is gonna be interesting lol

[noble spoke]

hahah I play both tbh

[upbeat tapir]

indeed

[noble spoke]

although ctually ive never found many mmo games that i really enjoy

[dusty bloom]

Im really picky with games i hope this one makes me happy

[noble spoke]

I play stuff like stardew and story of seasons and animal crossing as well as fps games like valorant but i get lonely when im playing alone

[rose cedar]

I voted for them all.

[void imp]

thanks gonna look at madmorph's youtube :3 i can't be trusted around tiktok, i'll look at animals for hours

[dusty bloom]

I uninstalled tiktok and insta 😂

[uncut bear]

Lol but that’s basically like not voting

[celest maple]

Same (and FB) !

[dusty bloom]

Yes same

[rose cedar]

actually it gets us 2 closer to the 8k votes. lol

[worldly lily]

Lot of new people since this morning

[uncut bear]

That’s a fair point

[worldly lily]

Hello new ones sorry but we already discussed the entire game and have everything planned out LOL

[uncut bear]

Yeahh we’ve got 12000 new people since I last checked

[worldly lily]

if that many join the game you going to see the server erupt like a volcano lol

[uncut bear]

Lol

[carmine relic]

Here's hoping all those folsk do stay around

[worldly lily]

all countries go on red alert there has been a nuclear explosion somewhere in the world: Nope it was just Palia's server overheating lOL

[uncut bear]

How else are we gonna build our mega neighborhood

[rose cedar]

if done correctly new servers(channels) will be auto-created(and closed) as necessary. too easily done now.

[carmine relic]

Exactly!

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/incredible-dance-crazy-dance-michael-scott-the-office-danse-gif-20731710

[worldly lily]

But many of these game owners prefer the hamster in a wheel powered server (cost savings)

[uncut bear]

Kinda like sea of thieves? Where it’ll combine to fill the sea with move players?

[nimble idol]

I voted for #1

[rose cedar]

yeppers

[tight ruin]

i have only jsut arrived after learning about this game yesterday, is there somone with alpha access streaming or has that not started yet?

[gray juniper]

heya! where do I vote? 😮

[celest maple]

#📮│public-polls

[uncut bear]

[worldly lily]

no alpha yet we still waiting for announcement

[rose cedar]

pre-alpha will be under a nda. so no streaming anytime soon

[tight ruin]

Isn't Soon(tm) trademarked by blizzard?

[rose cedar]

no

[worldly lily]

LOL I remember those but someone always manages to sneak something out

[rose cedar]

just a running meme

[worldly lily]

kinda like prison sneaking in drugs

[mossy hull]

I'm also new here.. I tried looking up to see if anyone was streaming it until I read what you all just said. Bummer, but understandble

[tight ruin]

well i don't stream either way, can't be bothered, but i do wanna punch some tree's and flex my house on the scrubs and their dirt cubes

[worldly lily]

someone walks out of prealpha with a game video in a hidden place

looks at DilBert

[carmine relic]

Also there are NDAs, so they can't stream it if they wanted.

[rose cedar]

nope not me. Only vid I will be recording if I get into Pre-alpha is one for a bug/exploit report.

[worldly lily]

👍

[carmine relic]

Same.

[worldly lily]

it be a bummer get banned from game in prealpha lol

[left pebble]

I'm doing a twitter account, also plan on a video about the trailer

[mossy hull]

How often do they release acceptances for pre-alpha?

if anyone knows

[left pebble]

There haven't been any yet

Soon™️

[mossy hull]

lmao

alright, thank you

[celest maple]

SoOoOoN

[worldly lily]

they only going to let the beautiful people in pre-alpha if you ugly you dont get in

[carmine relic]

Just a ban is probably as light as one would hope it'd be. NDAs are serious business, I'm pretty sure

[mossy hull]

I hope they find me beautiful 🥺

[carmine relic]

Only 1,400 people are gonna get into the pre-alpha. Which is uhh... quite low chances, to say the least.

[worldly lily]

buy a lottery ticket you have better luck

[languid sun]

open a CSGO case

[uncut bear]

Dragon lore awp

[worldly lily]

they probably put all the applicants names in a box and draw out how many they need

[cold mesa]

i hope they do a second round of forms. so it’s easier for them to choose the right people.

[worldly lily]

It would be near impossible to actually read everyone application

[mossy hull]

I've never won any giveaway or anything, and I've always been like "I'm saving my luck for something" hopefully this is that something :)

[tight ruin]

if we base the population of people who signed up on the discord population, that's a 1/24 chance of getting into pre alpha

[void imp]

that's so cute good luck 🥰

[void imp]

apparently there were hundreds of thousands overall

[worldly lily]

I am sure people have placed tons of applications from different e-mails

for same person

[uncut bear]

I think it’s closer to 1/100

[void imp]

they said they know how to handle those

[uncut bear]

Probably less

[mystic gale]

I think it's about a half a percent chance based on what I've heard.

[tight ruin]

then i would multiply by 10 and say it's a 1/240 chance (.4% chance)

[worldly lily]

LOL FBI cant trace much I seriously doubt the game could

[tight ruin]

that seems accurate

[cold mesa]

the chances are low and we will all cry together when we don’t get it

[uncut bear]

Lol

[worldly lily]

I will rage quit every game I now play

[void imp]

yes we can comfort each other because this community grows closer every day

[crystal topaz]

Hope that's not through IP...

[silver nymph]

I only popped in here this afternoon, but how long has this Discord existed?

[mystic gale]

There are even a lot of scenarios in which none of the active people on the Discord get in.

[void imp]

yeah 😫

[celest maple]

We can have a cry party all together to laugh about it 🙂 and hope to get lots of info after some time!

[uncut bear]

Like two weeks

[carmine relic]

Sadly, I think I used up my luck.

[crystal topaz]

Cause me and my gf both signed up, so that'd be the same IP.

[void imp]

hi welcome :3

[worldly lily]

I am sure the channel will be full of "I didnt want to play the silly game anyway" LOL

[cold mesa]

i joined the day it was announced on Twitter. so idk. more than a week

[uncut bear]

I’ll share my luck with you

[carmine relic]

No, use your luck to get yourself in there!

[mystic gale]

There will absolutely be salty people even with all the warnings about how low the odds are.

[silver nymph]

O wow only 2 weeks! and thanks for welcoming me!

[uncut bear]

But what’s the point if I don’t have friends to play with me.

[carmine relic]

Ah, right, fair enough.

I wonder if invites will be a sort of "take 1 friend with you" deal?

[patent dust]

june 3rd i believe

[uncut bear]

I can’t just replace you gambit 😭

[worldly lily]

75% of everyone on here are NEETS hiding in a dark room 😉

[mystic gale]

They've said they might ask people to invite friends in a small handful of cases.

[cold mesa]

i feel like if you get in the pre-alpha you’ll make friends with the others who also got it too

[patent dust]

some of them, yeah

[carmine relic]

But I'm just a generic wizard! There's like... probably a billion other wizards here!

[uncut bear]

That would be cool

[patent dust]

some people will be asked to bring a +1 based on their answer in the survey

[uncut bear]

You’re a generic clansman wizard. You’re THE wizard

[carmine relic]

Screw the "save the world or save yourself" final choice in video games being the most stressful choice, it's about picking what friend to bring in the alpha if they ask you

[patent dust]

[worldly lily]

ONe of the rule for the game you must have at least 10 real life friends that would clear out 60% of all of us 😦

[patent dust]

like when myspace came out, it was all about that top 8

wait are yall old enough to remember myspace?

[uncut bear]

Yes

[patent dust]

like..how it used to be

[eternal temple]

Was it 8 or 5

[carmine relic]

It's a mix of memories and random knowledge to me.

[worldly lily]

HOlds hand up for MYSpace thank you now I feel so old

[cold mesa]

my top 8 was all bands 😂

[carmine relic]

Also I went and looked. There are only two wizards in this server, apparently, and one of them is a dev.

[patent dust]

you could do up to top 8, but you could choose only 4, 5, 6, or 7

[eternal temple]

My page was so lit, sick music, amazing background my page was PUMPIN

[uncut bear]

You’re a wizard gambit

[carmine relic]

I'm a wot?

[uncut bear]

A hairy wizard!

[mystic gale]

I'm not only old enough to remember MySpace, I'm old enough to remember CompuServe.

[rose cedar]

My first pc was a commodore 64. lol

[tight ruin]

in less depressing lines of questioning, i had heard there was going to be a class system in this game, but like no combat? can someone confirm?

[patent dust]

heres a niche thing, anyone remember the social networking site vampire freaks?

[carmine relic]

People literally can't confirm unless it's a dev answer. NDA's are strict, I think.

[patent dust]

its a clothing store now though

[mystic gale]

I'm old enough to remember when the most active social experience on the internet was Usenet.

[wispy wyvern]

You're a lizard Harry!

[cold mesa]

i feel like xanga is a better gauge than myspace for being old lol

[mystic gale]

And IRC.

[worldly lily]

my first computer

[patent dust]

there is no class system, no

[eternal temple]

What was vampire freaks? Why does it sound familiar

[carmine relic]

But yea, who knows who's gonna get in.

[uncut bear]

Check here

[silver nymph]

Same. I feel if I look it up its going to bring back repressed memories

[rose cedar]

before myspace was AoL chatrooms. lol

[patent dust]

an extremely gothic-in-a-early-to-mid-2000s social networking site

[eternal temple]

I need to look it up

[patent dust]

its a clothing store now, but theres a wiki on it
