Palia
It's very pleasant to play. The scenery was developed by the folks who put together Ori and the Blind Forest. I spent most of my gameplay standing around looking at nature.
Fire watch. Is that a puzzle type game?
First-person exploration and mystery-solving with nature-enjoying elements and comedy.
Kind of like…myst
Guys imma crash. Good night Palians see y'all tomorrow 👋
Oooooooooh, I think I have that and haven’t played it yet!!
I'm hoping that Palia will have some of what Firewatch did in terms of scenic views and places you want to just sit down and enjoy for long periods.
Lot of cozy places I’m sure
The game already looks so beautiful from the trailer
I love the graphic style
I said it in #🎮│other-games but I'll say it here too
If you like metroidvanias (or don't hate them or aren't sure) then Hollow Knight is 50% off right now
Ooooooooooooh!!
I hope we get some underwater activities. Swimming is fun.
sounds like hell to program underwater physics 😦
Just came across this game. Found the most accurate comment that fits what I saw. "Looks like a place wow characters would go to relax and retire." Pretty excited to see where this goes.
can be, but one of my favorite sports in a game ever is Jecht Ball. Done in a water sphere thing was great.
That's a cool description honestly
A place WoW players go to retire - love it
If we got something like blitzball that would be cool but my harry potter side begs for quidditch
I'm very excited for next week thx to that announcement
Hey Sarah!
hi brittany :)
Just watched the trailer again. This game is gorgeous.
Water Quidditch could be pretty great if we can't fly.
I can't wait to play and decorate everything
thx for reminding me i gotta do my daily watching of the trailer LMAO
Hi hi hi!
I kind of want them to straight up just put, like, a deck of cards in the game and you can just do whatever with it
Ohmg under water quidditch would be the best thing!
I looove that we are gonna be able to fully customize our homes
You can do a tabletop simulator on your cozy dining room table
Hrmm guild wars 2 had good water mechanics for something similar
Ff8 had triple triad as a card game was super great
One of the few games with such deep water mechanics was gw2 now that i think of it
I wanna be like
GW2?
"Oh you're waiting for someone to hop on? Wanna play some poker?"
Naturally they would have to edit it to make it their own thing so it's not a direct copy, but I 100% agree.
Guild wars 2
Guild Wars?
I've been told I should really look into it but I always get distracted
I have so many ideas for my house already like I can't wait to decorate and invite friends over and have like tea parties 😭
Honestly that's my plan just make a library and host tea parties alright
guildwars felt a bit subpar to me personally, but everyone has their own tastes. I'm super picky about games.
man the more i think about it the more i want just actual cards hahaha
i just realized i can play games on one side and watch netflix on the other side with the dual monitor now i am going places
Hahaha Sarah - I have a cool setup for my stuff I can post in off topic if you want 👀
I posted my updated setup in #🎮│other-games earlier today :)
since in that channel you can actually send photos thankfully
yall i have a song stuck in my head and its making me hungry
is it meow mix song?
it's Unidentified Flavorful Object by Mili
eating unidentified objects sounds like a bad idea.
The first line is "Melting caramel drizzled over my baked custard pudding" which is already enough to make me froth at the mouth...
Yeah I found that out 😅
I LOVE custard and bread pudding. So easy to make
Especially nice on a cold winter morning for breakfast with coffee
why is it that in every discord....the most common topic is food.
because we're hongry
is this about the song lyrics or eating unidentified objects
sorry it was bugging me i really cant tell hahaha
prolly both
I live for food practically. Ive traveled the world. The best thing, eating new foods. Especially street food. MAN I want some street food from thailand right now.
this is exactly why i requested a food channel and exactly why #🍜│food-and-noms now exists ;)
sorry im just hungry aAAAA
Haha, NMS channel has one. No mans Fry lol
I would post my set up but I guess I cant share media in the offtopic section
Seriously love that channel
thats a good name
you can do it in #🎮│other-games !
oooh I loove quality food pcs
About not being able to post pics in #💬│off-topic-chat since I posted my stream setup in #🎮│other-games for Sarah to see
Oh 😦
sorry im silly
Man, I need to go to bed, but my sheets are still drying lol
You're fine! Lots of convos going on 🥰
Is there an uppercase sarah??
yes
@cyan basin :) is uppercase sarah LOL
o
wuenas
Buenas?
Funny when you can spot spanish typos
I suppose after moderating a discord for some time, I got so used to translating nearly 30 languages. Its rather funny how much more I picked up translating, rather then school.
Hrmm, Im hoping they have some linguistics in Palia. I loved learning britanian in Ultima
Goodness note to self dont look at the clock when its this late haha
I've had the stream up in the background while Im doing my own research
alguien que hable español :?
I’m something of a scientist myself
Lo siento, no hablo con fluidez
^
El chat es principalmente en inglés ahora.
Si
At least for now. Once the game gets further along, there mite be a spanish chat.
Its also really late, so who knows
I know with kerbals we have a spanish , german and french chat.
A LOT of spanish speakers for kerbals since it released in mexico
Well was produced there anyways
I gota admit, spanish is a rather easy language to learn.
I return!
Welcome!
Welcome back!
Aaayyye!
Welp Im off to sleep
As for me, time to head to bed finally, sheets are dry and I am tired. Gota get up early
atleast going to try to lol
I'll take ya places then
Take care all
Aye, rest well
gnight
Ah man. Midnight. The finest hour to do wizard things
just watching the VOD now and I realized its pronounced Pae-lia, I've always pronounced it as Pa- (as in what people call their dads) lia haha
Paw-lia? I can see that.
Pronounce it however you like
Time to try Scarlet Nexus. First time streaming lol
Like how you pronouce the pa in paleontologist haha
Me too, Pah-lia

Pae lia is like….who’s Lia? And why am I paying her?
i ss the chat is still alive
I see it as Pale-ia.
Yeah Ia needs some sun 😋
Hey @LuxieGames, helping you out with the pronunciation. Glad you like it! https://t.co/AzL72qS3vF
485
I don't like the pronunciation tbh but I'll live with it
They can't make me say it the way they want 🥺
it makes sense, since theres other words with pa pronounced that way
but not my default to either haha
You and I are like 🤞 this milky
They can't take us down
Forever brudda.
I have a memory of them basically saying pronounce it however you want
Just say it’s an accent or regional dialect. People pronounce lots of things differently
Now I wanna think of the worst possible way to say its name
chapaaaaa
Moorning all from Switzerland
PayliaaaaaH
me personally im just gonna keep saying Pah-lia
because i like the harder vowel
Palia
😰 good luck
lole thenks
Npnp. Just return in one piece
I don't understand 😅
One Piece...the anime?
Oooh...okay I see. I see. My bad 🥺
its 7am
I'm always here👀
Me too
its almost 2am for me
Am I here?
who knows really
Same 😄
ive been looking at more wallpapers on wallpaper engine for the past half an hour i think LOL
wallpaper engine eats processing power for me
I think mine are the greatest Sarah
having old pc s u c k s
i dont do anything crazy for my wallpapers
One of my monitors has the big ducks from spirited away bobbing in the bath house ☺️
one monitor has a fox and fallout 4 intro music the other has a cottage from ashenvale in WoW
This game looks fun
i went to go check out what my wallpaper was, and it's just black. feeling like i could change that
Yeah it does 🤤
I want to be able to use magical abilities in it
So do I. However not much has been revealed in terms of magic
There's potions, does that count?
I’m not really sure…
oh
potions would be made from specific ingredients to create an elixir that would enhance or change a property of something.
So I have no idea
It’s not technically magic I don’t think
they have a very magic vibe tho
Oh
We already know that there will be magic in Palia, because there'll be so much friendship. 😏
oh v.v
You are my friend whooooah
OH ^.^
oh? •^•
Enough of this. I am done. 🥺
Potions too!
You’re the wizard gambit. Are potions magic?
Potions are just magical chemistry
Milky you're my friend 🙂
Milk too
The fact that you're both named Milk is kinda confusing rhgrhghrghrgh
I am? ☺️
Ahh noir your pfp is so cute
I notice I've been using the wrong tenses on words lately, like confused instead of confusing 😦
thanks
Also I’m just now realizing that the server has 80k people and not 110k people cause there are 30k online and 80k total people but I didn’t know that the 80 was the total number I just thought it was total online and offline so I kept adding them together to get a way higher number…
Am I getting dumber?
Maybe
im considering switching pfp to match my recent obsession
☺️
Is it a goat also? 👀
Not after what I just did no you’re not
woah whatd ya do
And what would that be?
she-ra
@warm plover
im ultra hyper omega gay for that whole thing
What’s stopping you then?
We love she ra
Cute cat go “blep”
yknow the fact that i didnt connect your messages together kinda. maybe points to me being dumber
That's a blep cat!!!!!!
I, too, am kitty
catra in disguise
Milk for both
🥛 🥛
👅
morning
night
Morning Lukas!
🙂
i got pepper in my nose and it tickles
just catching up on the stream. I missed it yesterday
no sneeze. this sucks
I hope I am, too
Ooooh it’s a good stream. Enjoy!
What's the stream bout..?
palia probably
Meow meow meow
When?
Oh it was an art stream to reveal a new character, it was yesterday. It's pinned
Close enough
The new character mainly but they also do a bit of qna
Wow. I think you might be onto something
Eh.. I see..
no way thats crazy
Grandma Eshe
And yeah! It was yesterday. Or uh, some good few hours ago. Time is weird when you're a midnight man.
It was around 12 hrs ago
I'm smart, but usually only when it doesn't matter.
Lol
I'm dumb as a rock when it matters so im vibing with gambit rn
Sasha was live drawing the new character. I can't imagine the pressure 😬
Almost exactly 12 hours ago
but im also super weird. soooooo
I hope I'm smart enough to beat Sky at Palia Chess
Imagine if they put a weirdly indepth minigame in, like 3D chess
Omg yes
5D chess
You can sit around your nice house playing 5D chess
Imagine if it's like that chess game in Harry Potter
5D chess is such a dumb game
She does a wonderful job! I’m impressed how well it looks after just an hour
I learned how it works, but I never played it.
You may try
I absolutely will try
It looked super good
The concepts looked amazing too, and I'm glad they tried out different bodytypes!
Ye
Too bad there wasnt a version of Eshe where she was just super ripped
Einar's gonna love you then.
einar is a simp 😔
Brb gotta do some stuff at work for a couple minutes🤤
Einar is probably going to just give people pebbles.
Einar best boi
does einar use pebbles as bait? theyre probably too precious...
Maybe in his questline we have to find the One True Pebble for him
THAT would be intimidating
“Excuse me darling, would you mind getting my bag for me?”
“But of course”
proceeds to try to lift bag but it’s got a 50lb dumbbell in
Buff grandma buff grandma
I feel a little bad for all the attention people are giving to the pebble thing. It's like when you offhandedly mention that you like trains as a kid and your relatives keep getting you nothing but trains for the rest of your life. Nothing but pebbles for Einar forever, even though he'd also appreciate a new rod or a fresh spool of fishing line.
They probably quickly learned pebbles don't attract fish well. Have ya also tried putting one on a fishhook? Very hard
Or the raw fish themselves
I wanna get him a new fishing hat
cannibal fish??
I mean, what else are sharks?
omg Sasha is a beast. live drawing the character and answering questions at the same time. I'm a mono tasker myself. I can do exactly 1 thing at a time.
Yeah! Too bad there were audio issues but it taught us that Nel is too powerful to be contained (she can write backwards)
She is. I was trying g to figure out her accent and couldn’t
Russian, I think
We could ask
Drunk?
Cats cant drink
I disagree they drink water all the time 😝
.w.
Speaking of which. Are you hydrated rin?! You keep having headaches
slighty off topic but since we're all cats. have you read the comic Monstress? It's good in it's own right but also, cats.
Y'know, now I can see why Rin would stick with Eirn all day

_ _
Cat nip is hell of a drug
Einar?
That's his name!
Lol
As you can tell, I sometimes mess up names horribly.
Fair enough me too
You’ve got a point though
🐟 + 🐱 = 😺 
😺 
I was never great at math
I love math!
I begrudgingly accept math
Math is math
It is a pain but a necessary pain
I haven’t seen @nimble idol all day… I usually see him once or twice
Then again he was probably lurking like a bunch of other people. Hello lurkers 
well to be fair when you have joined 10+ servers it's hard to keep up 😄
Pff, there’s only 1 server that matters
I had to do a server clean up not to long ago cause I was in so many servers and I wasn’t active in ANY of them
haha, yeah I think I need to do that soon
Same
i just left one because you said that
I was in like 50 servers or something. Now I’m down to six and two of them are inactive so I might drop them too
a few days ago id watch yt because i was bored.. now i come here
I am in a couple specifically for emotes ☺️
That’s a good reason to stay ill admit
That reminds me. It's becoming hard to read some words. I'ma get some sleep. Goodnight y'all!
G'night!
This place is active like 99% of the time I think
Night!
goodnight @carmine relic
Palia never sleeps
Nev has been sad and socially drained, he spent most of his day in his water bed
Sleep well
DANGOOO
You made me remember Clannad and now I'm sad
I wish that Nev feels better and can join us again soon because he is loved and missed
Yes’m, the cutest family
Yess :)
This is true
i just realized its 230am here
or early
I’d ask how your even awake but I don’t sleep ever. Night owl over here
Both
its 8:40 am here
It's 2:40 pm here
Morning Fellow Palians
i woke up an hour ago. i work 8-5 lol
good morning 🙂

@echo goblet good morningish
Happy Friday 
Yeah this week has flown by. Days are blurring into weeks haha

You mentioned work and I got hit by a wave of drowsiness
^^lmao
Go to sleeeeeeep
I have an early shoot to go to in the morning so I’m off to bed (I’m a photographer so don’t be concerned when I say I’m going on a shoot)
hope you sleep well and have a good photo shoot 🙂

puts on dad glasses
I have minion glasses
Awww I missed the stream ffs
Hello, what a pity that you can't write in Russian here and it's very sad. It is very cool!
the vod is still available
Oh good
it's pinned I believe
I'm sorry. Russian channels may be available in the future! 🙂
Hello chat
❤️
What is the first thing you’ll do in the game ?
The tutorial
fegafdgagudauduahdihua
Imagine being a voiceactor and getting that in your script
Yep why not 😁
Good morning, palians! 
👋
Hey
Hey 😄
Morning
Mornin
👋
Morning friends ❤️
morning everyone
Mmmmmmmmm doin ok
Good timezone everyone ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Good timezone lol
Lol
hear, hear! good time zone
4pm for me XD
Which - by the way - I will be doing in Palia also 🤩❤️
I hope there will be casual clothing
3:15am for me. I guess tonight’s the kind of night that I wake myself up twice for no good reason
Sundress or riot 👍
Snoring? 😆
But singing outside so early is colddddd
It’s 23 degrees Celsius
Possibly! I do feel a little stuffed up 😂
Morning 😄
Hey my BFF in Palia 🤩
I’ve coughed myself awake unfortunately
Waves hello
Wait what? 😄
Now you ruined the moment 😂
I can be your friend 🥺
Yay ☀️
I always ruin moments ☺️
Me too.
I’m so confused all the time
And I don’t remember anything
Think it’s my meds
I try to follow along☺️
did i really say singing outside? i meant sitting outside...
I understood that. Too tired to comment tho 😂
i feel so wonky I'll say one thing and mean another fhdhdbsjxjsj
Catch me replacing words w other words bc they start with the same letter
I mean if you can go full Disney princess always go full Disney princess
I wouldn’t sing here. I need to keep up a good behavior so my neighbors think I’m a normal person.
I would absolutely sing outside in a garden

Sing 😄
Sometimes I play music very loud to annoy them.
Singing is funnnnn
Unless you have a headache, then its less fun
...Someone make this headache go away please
There are a lot of animals in the area. When I think of it, there might be more cats and dogs than humans living here.
My kind of place. Humans are so boring.
I believe there are mostly cats in this chat so you're good
I too prefer animals to people
yup
Cool
you?
Yes
cool
We own the chat now
🇸🇪
Good timezone everyone!
Good timezone 🤩☕️
I am at work half paying attention between this discord and another Palia one 🥺
My brain too tiny for both
There are more palia servers? I’m offended I wasn’t invited
I can't take credit for the timezone. I was born into the privilege 😛
its 3:30am
There have been a couple made as far as I know 😅
Yeah! Of course! 😨
haha
Maybe I’ll start my own
yo i think lukas is a german name btw
I plan on starting a neighborhood anyway
nice!
True! ☺️
im 0-2 on responses
it's biblical so a lot of countries have their variants on it
Already have a big one tho. Maybe it’s too much work to handle 2
You might be right 😉
that hurts 😦
I mean about the name. But I think @blissful dagger is right tho. It’s biblical
oh
are neighborhoods like guilds in palia?
Yes
nice. I feel like I need to read the wiki
Yea you find a lot of info there.
I need to catch up, it was a couple of weeks since I read it.
I wonder if Yuji is from Japan? That's a Japanese name, I think
<-- has been wrong before (will continue to be wrong in the future)
It is
woah like the anime
being wrong is awesome. it means you get to learn something
<-- has never learnt anything ever
hehe, well congrats on being born with the ability to read and write 😛
Anime enabled my dumb American brain to distinguish Asians by face and name, mostly

i mean, you are not right but you aren't wrong either
That's where I expected to be tbh
what are your favorite race so far? I like what they have done with elves. but also golems
Grimalkin flumfy
I had somehow missed that race
Chuu's, obviously
Ppl seem really into the idea of having a bunch of houses nearby each other that you can just walk into
I wonder if it's something S6 will do later if there's a lot of demand?
morning
Its the best way to build a community feeling I suppose? From what I've read you have an instanced like house that you can invite your friends to
Maybe its how their neighborhoods stuff works?
Yeah but joining is seamless with no loading screen so I'm wondering how it works
instead of it just being UI stuff you actually have a place where you can build houses together as a guild
Magic teleportation?
maybe the neighborhood would be loading screen but the doors are like open so it loads it in for u like in stardew valley? idk
Even if the housing is instanced, you can have neighbourhoods.
like going into ur own house
yea I meant like. Instead of the house being instanced, its the entire neighbourhood
I hope that aspect is done similarly to LOTRO, where you have instanced neighbourhoods.
Guess we shall see some in the pre-alpha. I believe it's mostly in but not complete or concrete
Instanced neighborhoods is how FFXIV does it and it’s a disaster
How come?
Because the common neighborhoods limit the available plots, and the supply is an order of magnitude smaller than the demand.
I feel dumb but I can't figure out how to add Grimalkin to the wiki
There can be an infinite amount of plots with instanced neighbourhoods though.
top right corner is are three little vertical dots. Click and then Add new Page
FFXIV introduces artificial supply limits
Then it is not an issue with instanced neighbourhoods, but rather with the way FFXIV limits things.
Maybe there’s a way of doing that efficiently, but the way FFXIV does its neighborhoods there are only so many they can have without making it too heavy on server load.
If everyone just gets a house anyway then there's not really a problem between having an instanced house and an instanced block of houses i think
And no, it’s not an artificial limit.
^
Huh, is that right? i didnt know that
Yes, they’ve been very vocal about it.
But the same issue would also be present with instanced housing instead.
Sorry. I'm new to FFXIV, anything I know is from my brother
Not necessarily.
The problem FFXIV has is that when you enter an area, the game has to render everything in that zone, including all the decorative customizations for every house, including 20-40 furnishings per yard and several exterior building customizations. With an instanced single plot you don’t have that issue.
thanks!
What if the neighbourhood is more like a shopping/ crafting district kinda thing rather than having your own house there you just work together to get better things for your npcs within your neighbourhood? And then the living thing is just for your solo instance house
Sounds like poor optimisation then.
Well I would love to see instanced neighbourhoods so you can atleast see the houses from your guildmates
Maybe, but the fact that Palia has opted for instanced single homes tells me it’s not specific to FFXIV.
They've only said instanced housing, we do not know if they are singles or not.
depending on the amount of player houses it is a lot of loading I suppose
They’ve said they are singles I believe.
Oh, sorry, I must have missed that then. I've only heard instanced housing.
morning!
Oh and instanced housing is very very common. EQ2, Rift and Wildstar all used it to good effect.
yeah even ESO does that
Yup. When you aren’t rendering all the houses at once it takes a lot of pressure off the servers.
Fortunately FFXIV’s house interiors are instanced at least
I'm trying to decipher from the unofficial answers doc, but they use neighbours and instancing interchangeably. And then there is this: "Not committing to instanced housing plots atm
"
neighbours = guildmates i think
Could be a mix. Exteriors like gardens and pens are not instanced and interiors are.
If a game is build properly these kind of things can be streamed in without a problem.
That’s what FFXIV does and why their plots are limited.
That way if your guildies can't pop on to tend stuff outside, you can pitch in while they're away 🙂
How many houses are in a neighbourhood in FFXIV?
It’s possible a game could be optimized better to prevent those issues; Crystal Tools is certainly not the MMO world’s most efficient code as SE is very outspoken about.
Yeah but FFXIV is 1-and older game and 2-doesn't restrict neighbourhoods to a single guild.
30 plots per division in FFXIV
Oh, could reduce that by a lot to remove that server issue.
Which is distributed to 3 large size, 6 medium size, and 21 small size plots.
And each district has a total of 48 of those divisions, and there are 4 districts.
I hope they do a mix, where you can either have an isolated house in the woods, or have a house in a neighbourhood with, like, 12 houses.
well a guild only needs one guildhall...and if the interiors are instanced you could link up "rooms" in the guildhall for people who are members but aren't as big in housing.
So a total of 5,760 plots for each server.
And they are in way, way higher demand than that number.
What was it.....Warframe had guild halls you could build? With central rooms and select decorations but
A majority of the rooms severed functions
Chain instances, absolutely I could see them doing
But they have said I believe you don’t see other plots from your own.
Yea, it sounds like the issue with FFXIV is that the load during the initial load of the instance is the taxing part, which can be alleviated with better instancing.
Nah it’s more in depth than that.
It sounds like there's a few things going on with FF14 housing if that's all they can handle for housing.
I remember that being an issue with other MMOs as well. People loading in complex instances would lag the entire server.
thats just bad server design
Did Palia upload the stream to YT or is just on the vod?
Sure, but it happens, and especially with older MMOs where newer expansions are more complex than the old ones.
Believe me, if it were a simple solution, they’d have done it. The housing crisis is by far the biggest player pain point at the moment. If some layperson can just come along and armchair program the problem away, I’m fairly sure they’d have thought of it by now. XD
Haha, never said it was easy - just that it is likely possible.
I'm not saying its a simple solution for FFXIV, they have a lot of existing stuff to deal with
It may be also an issue of cost/benefit as well as artifical scarcity.
And it's eleven years old
Anything is possible when you rewrite enough of a game.
Is it feasible is the question.
But perhaps not with FFXIV. It may be something that needs to be handled from the beginning.
and was rebuilt from the ground up so some of the old code is probably haunting the game
Mhm.
It definitely is, and even then there is a lot of complexity to go with it too
Unless any of us get access to the full code for housing there's really no way we can be certain
ESO does fantastic instanced housing and wow did it well with garrisons.
I've heard good things about bdo as well
I like the actual housing aspect of ESO, but it feels way too isolated.
We have the word of the game’s producer who has said adding more wards requires adding more expensive server capacity, and that’s all we know.
I wasn't sussed about ESO housing.
But I was heavy into EQ2 housing which is pretty intense, so I may be spoiled
I don't feel it's isolated because I rp or join housing guilds
i still hope we can live in some sorta apartment with your guild/group of friends
I wouldn't be surprised if apartments are a thing you can do.
I mean with the way the houses are always blocked off in such a way that you can't see inside or outside. Since Palia doesn't have loading screens for housing you may be able to see more.
I’m thinking what they’ll do is give people in neighborhoods some kind of fast access to each other’s housing instances
Not everyone is going to want to spend hours decorating.
I think an actual guild hall could be cool
A manor house/hall would be great.
I don’t think owning a house will be mandatory
I think it might be it's just up to you how much you want to decorate
No, but a lot of people will want some kind of house anyways, even if they're not keen on decorating. You can see it in any game that has housing.
You get a plot through the questline.
Heck, IU made bank decorating other people's houses in EQ2.
The game is basically looking like harvest moon/ story of seasons/ rune factory, so ofc there's a house
In cases like that you can usually find players willing to offer decorating services for a fee. :D
The need to decorate consumes me
lol
Man I'd love to decorate people's houses lol
For me it depends on how I can manipulate furniture and stuff to decorate. LOTRO with "hooks" bothered me.
I know people in FF who make a killing doing that and they’re amazing decorators
I'd love to have people come in and help decorate gardens and such. That'd be so cool
Yea, the actual decorating in that game was bad. Much better in ESO.
I'd also love if we can have the chance to enlarge/shrink stuff and rotate on all axis.
The reason I find ESO to be the best at decorating is the sheer amount of items and clipping
So far I haven't seen anything that indicates you can in Palia...but it's easily possible
Agreed
I wouldn’t bank on size changes but I bet you can un-grid snap and rotate
Didn't SWTOR have something like that in housing?
EQ2 used to have Player Studio-which increased the type of items,. and every event brought in news ones. I filled several banks with stuff
Yeah people in FF do some amazing things with clipping.
Yup..I forgot all about SWG-also another very good housing system.
Ff is too much a pain though with the glitch to clip and elevate items
Try the custom launcher, makes it easier
Oh sorry you said SWTOR...I don't know about that..I left before they did much with housing.
And even without that the glitch gets easier with practice. But with the custom launcher it’s a snap
If i can ever get a house again
There’s the rub
I have a small in Shirogane but I really want a medium in Ishgard
When that comes out like… next March D:
I'd love one in ishgard but I cant stay subbed all the time and people will surely camp after giving up their other houses
I'm so jaded about it all I'm not going to be trying
Well it depends on how they do it
Usually it's guilds first
Sometimes they open to FCs and transfers only at first
Which has people make fake free companies to get in there
But with the most recent opening of new wards it was free for all
So it’s possible they could do a free for all again
We're straying from how Palia might do housing into talking about another game now. 
I'd love if they'd left people who don't own one a chance to get there first, not other people giving theirs up
I'm curious, if plots are instanced..will they do farming elswhere? Will it part of your plot? Will it be an exterior instance or in another area?
That would be nice, but it honestly wouldn’t reduce the overall demand much
Looks like your farm plot is within your instance, which is fine by me
I mean, objects don't take a whole lot of space but if you can tame and breed animals, that's a lot more data.
They clearly showed farming as part of the garden in the trailer, so we can probably go by that,
Because even when people relocate they’re still opening up another plot elsewhere, so there’s no net loss of plots
Oh yeah, wow had the farm plots in pandaria, that felt nice and open
Yeah farming in Palia is on your plot, that’s in the trailer
Yes but people want the new shiny thing
Community farming areas would be nice to have as well though.
For the neighbours I mean.
Sure, Ishgard will be in heavy competition, but you could at least get in the door with another ward
Then you can be in the game with relocations
Not open to everyone - only open to the "guild".
I would love to also have community gardens/pens.
I just wish we could live like hobbits
I think community animal herding stuff could be cool
I’m sure there will be a lot of community activities other than farming too, even if that’s per-plot
Same!
Where you could do "group farming" or breeding..for rarer cratures and ingredients
And I believe they also said friends can come and help you manage stuff on your own plot
So there will be a community element there
Yea, they said that.
Don't make it so that everyone has to do it at once, but give a bonus for each extra person who helps with the guild animals/farm 🙂
But it feels a bit better if friends can meet up in a commons and not in one of their gardens to do some shared farming.
Hopefully they have a really good permissions list, cause if friendships go south someone could really mess with you
They have to have that.
I guess we’ll see. We don’t even really know exactly how farming works or what purpose it serves
hangs house closed sign
And stay out lol
that's literally my dream palia job
Nice
Aaaaw, neighbours bringing their animals to a commons just sounds so amazing 😄
My ic job will hopefully get to be potion making
I'm terrible..I want to do all the things
I'm the person who is usually our guild crafter. 😛
If I can't be a carpenter...
Oh I'm talking strictly in character, ooc I do everything lol
I want to make furniture for everyone
Storytelling wordsmith
shrew look at the video, i tried to find it last time we talked about herding
I need to team up with a metalsmith who can make the nails and fittings for my furniture.
Goats are amazing.
I used to own some
I want to do: tailoring, cooking, carpentry, taming/breeding, farming, decorating, fishing, .... I'm gonna be a busy girl.
whoa thats so cool shar
^°^ they're great animals to have
I want to do: literally all of the things
MY second cousin offered me a goat as a kid. I am still cranky that my mother wouldn't let me have one.
All of the above. Duchess of all trades
If we had a bit more land, we would definitely have goats!
Means you'll be frenemies with Eshe tho
Kids are fun cause they play around... Kid around so much XD
My heart and mind is still a kid 
Lol I definitely mean goat babies for that joke
You think if you suck up enough to Eshe she'll let you raid her closet? 😛
I wanna know who the duchess is
I would like to see the map
oooh, yes
been thinking about making a site for it with all POIs on it n such
On the topic of clothes, I hope clothing isn't gender locked.
it isn't from what I read
Not even characters are genderlocked.
IN my experience, characters being gender locked is much less common than gear/clothing being gender locked.
Hard to have gendered clothing when you don't have genders though.
Yea, you just select the body type basicly
Do they not have genders? Do they just have you assign a pronoun at character creation? That would be awesome!
It kinda sounds like they're going to have "male" and "female" but let you use body sliders to make who you want. Then clothes will just work on either body type
"We're trying to avoid male/female. You choose a body type and all the customization options are tailored to fit all body types"
ESO works that way
You don't choose a gender or pronoun, just a body type
from the faq
Yes I know
yeah but you need pronouns if there's dialogue. So I'm guessing you pick them?
Everyone is called dude
Want to wear a frock and hold a shepherd staff skipping among the goats?
But you'll still have male or female faces, basically, they didn't look very androgynous
Dialogue doesn't necessarily require pronouns.
They said there's just not gender in the coding so you can wear what you want and marry who you want
Everyone is clearly called pal...
Have you tried speaking without pronouns before? it's really awkward. Just letting people pick them is a simple fix.
Giving the option to pick a pronoun would be nice tbh
It is lol
Calling someone "you" or just "they" can get awkward when you're trying to be specific
mate, no issues with pronouns in australia 😛
They is a pronoun.
They is also plural or past tense
They can be singular but I'm not gunna get into that
It works fine. And if they just do that it would be fine. They singular is older than they plural.
When do you even use a pronoun unless talking about someone else?
Just call everyone a Pal like me

If I can't be referred to as a gender then I hope they put your character name in enough and I'm sure the npc will have gender, they seem to
The NPCs do appear to have genders. The player is likely mostly referred to as "you".
There are a LOT of pronouns. Not all of them are gender related. But being able to pick pronouns is very validating for some.
I'm waiting for a transgender npc
How do you know there's not already one revealed ;p
Are we sure they haven't revealed one?
That's totally fair
I know not. But we shall see
Actually
But based on this server alone, I would venture to guess that if they do allow you to choose a pronoun, they'll be quite inclusive.
If they have, I don't want to know lol because I don't feel it needs to be told to us. Maybe revealed if you date them
Absolutely.
Nice!
And interesting thing, argonians can change gender once in their life if they feel the want or need. The Hist tree grants it
Yeah I mean usually trans people reveal something like that to friends, not complete strangers. Of course there are some cases depending on the situation and some trans people are loud and proud about it which is also valid
Ooo I didn't know that
Very true
And yeah that was in the murkmire dlc
And Vivec back in Morrowind was neither man nor woman.
Or both, depending on how you read into it.
I think both definitely.
Yea, I think so as well.
I need the villager vote to be for the glasses elf or reveal him and thicc guy at the same time
Good morning villagers!
Good morning, Disturbo! 
Good Morning Loremaster Disturbo of the Arches
I find it tricky to wrap my head around npc-romancing in an MMO setting. one of those things i'm oft reluctant to talk about. does anyone else feel a bit.. wishywashy about the romance bit of Palia? 0.0
gm everyone xo
Yeah I'd be happy without the romance tbh but I think it'll probably be alright
Gonna have faith in s6
A little. Might seem weird if you see your spouse running around with someone else
Good morning
I feel ambivalent about it too...but I have a partner so...that'll be my IG romancing. 😛
it's gonna be weird if ten people give a villlager cake at the same time
yup hehe
maybe they have a work around
Maybe they'll show up as a generic villager to others
over all romance is a big plus about the game to me
and im thinking itll be more like 10,000 eventually. i mean, very conservatively. its just interesting to me. the romance thing seem like something for another game. but i mean.. still dont know much about this game and i'm happy to find out more as we do!
oh right, maybe they're even invisible to others
Servers size might not be 10000
That'd be pretty neat tbh
Good evening 👋
i love that they have romancing, it's the icing on the cake
Or they can script in that they are committed to <player name> but can fall out of favor if enough time passes with no action and or someone else offers more cake
If i changed my discord # after the 2nd survey will i still be able to get the key?
I would much rather just be able to hire a butler and a maid than have IG romance, but I get that some people really love IG romancing.
Agreed. I can't wait to see how that turns out
i think the last and only time i've seen npc romance in a game was playing the original Fable. so im probably very behind on the possibilities there, and how far it's come
My ig romance will only be for flavor. Otherwise my rp character is gonna be with my irl spouses character.
We just move them between games
They probably won't be able to find you in Discord to give certain roles. So safest is to not change it
Haha, it's come far since that
i think romantic things work great in stardew valley for example. like u can go on a date with npc but if u want to be with someone real (i mean players of course) u can do it too. that is the story how i marry my husband for the first time xd
so now we are together in real life
i did change it already 😭
i mean it can be great if palia gives players something like that
I looked through the FAQ but didn't see anything regarding seasons or weather, anyone know anything about that?
i didnt think i saw you can do it with nitro and i just changed it 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
that's so lovely!
I don't think our characters have married in any game yet haha, we're just married irl
i'm a huge fan of in-game romance with players. i ended up marrying my old arch-nemesis from WoW, and we've been together 10 years now
"We aren't ready to talk about weather specifically right now, sorry. Palia is not a world without weather, I can say that"
Noice
We have that bond of mara in eso, giving us increased xp when together 😂
thank you
@night kraken we have an arts and crafts channel now in case you missed that, i'm not sure if anything else big happened since i've been busy sleeping and attending class
hubby married me for the percs too. he got to move to new zealand xP
Hha, nice
Oooh sounds interesting, ill give it a look. Thanks for the heads up though! 😄
OOO NZ looks lovely. It's my "if I have to move to another country" #1 spot.
nomi head hurty
I want to have a big wedding in ff14
Oh my ex was from nz. he ghosted me one day and i never found out why sjsjdhdjsjsjdksks
Oh no
Ohhh no
my luck with men has not been great
are you Australian?
Yup
awesome!
howd you know
and are you drinking plenty of water? 🐱
Ya
Keep it up and you're bound to land a good one soon mate
hazard a guess
Idk my head hurts idk if i can guess
did i say smth about it before
i must say, Rin, you have some adorable profile pictures
Yes
Yes
What sort of animal is your current pfp based on if you don't mind me asking Rin
i think you might have. i'm not sure how i know. i lurk a fair bit. but only because i'm usually working or gaming, and don't want people to think i'm ghosting if i suddenly don't respond
It's a hard balance to strike
🤣 I dont know how I missed that since its in your name
aaabsolutely
amazing! 0.0 i wonder how much a commission like that runs... love to know in DM if you cared to share
rin i know the change of meds is a factor but maybe you really wanna try getting enough sleep, your headache can have more than one cause
The boy's name is Nekone Rin (猫音鈴)
The kanji means cat, sound and bell respectively, which is where I got the name Catbell for my music stuff
Um... I could try and look? I kinda maybe forgot how much this was
Ah ok, yeah I say I'm from Aus a lot but I didn't recognise you very well
Einar for fishing? Hell yes :D
^^ Nomi has the right idea. As someone who gets little sleep, the headaches from not getting enough are awful
If you were lurking it makes sense
I sleepieddddd
lies, that was a nap at best
You definitely wanna make sure you get enough to eat and drink with some medication
And you ate?
Ah, it was about 3000 JPY, which is, uhm, around $30ish?
I slept and woke up and you were still here 🤣 How much sleep are you getting
You get any sun? Vitamin D is muy importante
Gotta get those few extra hours in, trust me it helps
i havent gotten any sun today actually...
#health-channel when?
its everyone just telling me to sleep
woooahh. i was expecting 10x that. really dig it
:)
15 min a day can help your body work better, unless your meds say to stay out of the sun
3000 JPY seems like the standard for commissions from the artists I've talked to
30$ is cheap tbh
well its dark outside already unfortunately
Making contacts with artists feels important to me since I want to be a singer
and i like getting pretty custom art for covers
also i just like getting art it gives me serotonin
am kitty
That's a good idea. Got to find a good artist you enjoy and can mesh well with
I know a few, though my Japanese is a little wonky so I can only kinda talk to them
Hello!
Hi!
Hey!
Hello 👋
How’s everyone doing
Good good
I have a headache :(
Vitamin D tablets have been a vital part of my mental health recovery, especially in winter
I have some songs I need to finish working on but I don't have a work ethic~ someone force me to work when I recover please
Doing well, had a relaxing day. How about yourself mate?
ah yeah ive been taking some vitamin d tablets
Vit d and a sun lamp 🥳
Become lizard, sun bathe
It's cold here :(
well it would probably be a normal temperature for a lot of you though
but its cold to me cause im australian
Idk it's been close to 40 and now it's like 20 out, so it got chilly
chapaaaaaaa
Yeah its freezing here too. Wayyy too cold today
I wear shorts when it's 20 😂😂
I do too but it was a shock
Got my second Covid shot Wednesday and it put me out all day Thursday. Finally feeling good enough to go back to work today
I have three blankets and a gown and I still get too cold at night...
12C, so pretty warm
Glad to hear it mate, hopefully you don't have any more interruptions to your life like that any time soon
I remember when I visited Aus 9C was reported as freezing XD
Hey Rin, I deeply appreciate you and my interactions with you have been nothing but hilarious, but I’d love it if we kept this chat Palia related!
20 is cold its zero here atm
That sounds fairly accurate lol, and the current temperature right now as well
Well we're all off topic, usually happens when the Americans sleep
I can't see snow irl so I'd like to see that ingame...
I hope theres a proper winter. I love snow in games since we don't get it down here
I can't imagine never seeing snow
Beat me to it lol
I've probably seen fake snow before but I don't know if I've seen real snow
Best I've seen was more ice than snow
where are you at sebastion
It's interesting that they won't discuss it yet, means it's a big part of the game I think
hail :(
I remember the official dev response to weather was “eventually”
Oooh I hope we can go ice skating in palia at some point
Well there's crops so seasons and weather seem like they might be a thing
tazzy?
Ice skating mini game
Australia, NSW to be a bit more specific
I want to be able to drink hot chocolate or build snowmen with friends
same
everyone lives in nsw...
Ahh nice mate
We can brew tea based on the cinematic!
snow chapaa, snow kitsuu...
Seasons gives games a lot more life
SNOW KITSUU PLEASE
Yeah you should just move here, we can slowly bring everyone to nsw 🤣
i've been to NSW, for work once. was very lovely
not from sydney tho
Imagine if they add a whole brewing system
Do you think any of the animals are based off cats? like between taus and kitsuus and chapaas
i hope to brew potions
What is nsw for us silly Americans
cause taus are dogs and something, kitsuus are foxes and something
new south wales
Only been to sydney a couple of times, not a fan. Melbourne is better imo
new south wales
I’ve never been in the Southern Hemisphere! I have family in Australia though that I wanna see at time point
since we were created by the english im guessing to pay hommage
I don’t think we have any feline critters yet, but Zeki reminds me of a cat lmao
Only country I've been to outside of the states is Japan.
Furthest South I've been is Crete..
I think my very presence makes people go off topic... I don't think I've ever managed to keep a conversation on topic for more than a few minutes
I've never actually left Australia. I would like to live somewhere colder though
I wanna visit Japan... I have friends there I'd like to meet
It happens literally every night lol
Am I cursed or just extremely bad at this
Even when you're not around
i went to new zealand to meet my wife
Don't worry, chat just can't stick to palia no matter how hard we all try lol
It’s probably ok to veer off topic when the devs/mods are asleep lol
I don't think I'm doing it on purpose
That must have been a wonderful vacation
neither! things just trend towards a certain chaos. at least, that's what i tell myself while i watch everything burn around me >< hehehe
