To build up a house and collect trophies to mount on your walls

[vivid hill]

Let's not mishmash here. Soulsborne games are not meant to be cozy. They're meant to raise your senses.

[dusk portal]

But what if...Solaire moved in

[kindred sable]

hmm, trophy wall sounds neat, but then again like a large majority of the people playing would already have the trophies

[dusk portal]

Cozy sun times x 100

[vivid hill]

How grossly incandescent...

[carmine relic]

Happy June 30th. I think the server is gonna explode on this day in particular, I think. (I think)

[wide wedge]

Why?

[lyric ether]

Cozy sun with a baby face watching everything you do

[kindred sable]

last day of June

[wide wedge]

OH

[carmine relic]

Also the exact week after that alpha-key message where they said keys would be sometime next week

[dusk portal]

We might see the first E-Mails go out today. I'm so hoping

[lyric ether]

it's possible, but I wouldn't get too hopeful.

[carmine relic]

So time decided to go ahead and now here we are, in next week!

[vivid hill]

Well. I hope so as well. I have the next two days off so I'm anxious if so.

[lyric ether]

They could still be setting something up for you to test in. getting a good test build ready can take time sometimes

[dusk portal]

Yeah, they said this would be the earliest but I bet they have to sort through way more E-Mails than intended lol

[vivid hill]

Many more.

[kindred sable]

this server is probably one of the most wholesome places on the internet

[vivid hill]

Undoubtedly.

[lyric ether]

it can turn on you quickly.

[vale crypt]

🙉

[vivid hill]

Mr. Rogers, you had me in a fright for a moment...

[lyric ether]

how is that?

I'm mr nice guy, I rarely jump down anyones throat

[vivid hill]

Dyslexia is not helpful to my brain.

[lyric ether]

ah I see.

[vivid hill]

I read you message backwards a bit

[lyric ether]

i'm just lucky I didn't type it that way, sometimes I drop words or flip them around on mistake

[soft bay]

I really do hope there is at least an update today.

But Yeah Nel has her work cut out for her.

[vivid hill]

I'm just thankful for the effort they're putting in for us.

[lyric ether]

update no update, i'm fine. Then again I'm in the group of people that would like it if they don't say anything at all after sending the keys out. I would be amused greatly.. I am somewhat chaotic at times

[warm plover]

I think it's Whoa's job to sort through the emails

[lyric ether]

just let people check for keys for months then later on be like yeah we sent the keys a couple months ago

[warm plover]

im not looking forward to the chaos that'll happen after the announcement
might just make myself scarce...

[lyric ether]

if you do that people will assume you got a key

[vivid hill]

I'm dropping off earth for the next few days after tonight anyway, so there's that. Got my laptop just in case.

[lyric ether]

I had planned to drop off for awhile, but all the games I downloaded bored me

[vivid hill]

Lets go to other games bro...

[warm plover]

Hahahahaha
I just don't want to get caught up in the tidal wave of people yelling 'wheres my key?!'

[patent adder]

It'll be something, for sure. 😅

[dusk portal]

I hope it doesn't devolve into chaos. They were pretty clear not everyone is getting in and while I can understand the excitement and disappointment, things will move along faster if everyone just remains calm

[soft bay]

Alright everyone. Done everything I can with Kazuha in Genshin tonight. Off to bed!!

[dusk portal]

Sweet dreams~!

[patent adder]

Some people will probably be upset and I don't want that 🥺

[warm plover]

i imagine the people that will be upset are the type who think of the prealpha as more of a fun demo to play rather than an actual test

[wide wedge]

yeah...

actually the pre alpha will mostly be buggy

[lyric ether]

will be fine so long as 2 types of people don't show up. 1. The type to rub it in they got something most people can't. 2. The overly sensitive type that gets upset over being left out of the team.

[wide wedge]

Thats why the testers will have to be very verbal about feedback.

[lyric ether]

either those show up there will likely be drama for the mods to crush

[wide wedge]

if some of you get elected, take that chance to make the game better !

[dusk portal]

Yeah, not everyone is gonna be happy but the devs have to do whats best for the game. They can't let everyone in and I'd honestly rather have experienced Alpha-testers have a go at the game first, even if it means I have to wait longer, so that they can get the feedback they need

[lyric ether]

yeah hopefully most the people that get in actually want to test the game and don't just want a sneak peak.

It's sad that so many people treat tests like demos

[wide wedge]

yeah, i hope they dont elect ghost people as it will be bad

[warm plover]

I will note that this won't stop me from checking my emails constantly

[dusk portal]

Right? Totally get the excitement but we need people who can help the devs navigate everything...Us players are crazy.

Ditto lol

But I totally won't be mad if I don't get it

[warm plover]

Yeah

In the future, I'd like to hear about the crazy bugs people found in the prealpha

or even from the devs before the prealpha started

[wide wedge]

hahhahahaha that would be funny

[lyric ether]

depends on how they word the NDA, you may not even be allowed to discuss things even after the game is released.

[dusk portal]

Yeah, that stuff is always interesting. Once they allow people to talk about it I'd love to hear everything\ they found. Hopefully someone keeps a tally for science

[haughty coyote]

you can basically just say stuff like "i did some activities in Palia" and "it is good" at most

[warm plover]

Yeah. I know sometimes they can't talk about it after the fact but I'm just saying I'd really like to hear about that stuff later on

"One time I was giving a pebble to Einar and his head detached from his body and launched into orbit"

[dusk portal]

omg, pls

[warm plover]

"I glitched into the floor and found a png of a tomato one of the devs left there for some reason. They didn't remove it, since apparently everything broke when they tried."

[hazy plank]

hey gm

[warm plover]

That kind of thing

[hazy plank]

how are u guys i hope u have a good day

[warm plover]

sleepy 😔

[dusk portal]

Same, think I might take a quick nap seeing as how it's 2 am. I'll catch you all here later. Have a good one guys

[warm plover]

a quick nap at 2 am????

go to sleep yo

[night kraken]

You guys need more sleep 👀

[wispy pelican]

another day without alpha/beta testings...

T_T

[warm plover]

it's in prealpha and not alpha anyway
expect to glitch through walls constantly

[lyric ether]

would still take note of areas where collision isn't working

[warm plover]

I'm looking forward to future tests as well

[night kraken]

Same

[neat quiver]

Hey all I've been gone a while how is everyone

[night kraken]

It's going good mate, how are you?

[neat quiver]

I'm aight been watching for palia updates and enjoying the steam summer sale

[deft sonnet]

Goodmornin

[neat quiver]

Happy 3am to you @deft sonnet

[deft sonnet]

Happy 9 am to you

[night kraken]

Same, finally gonna grab myself hollow knight I think since its on sale. Not sure if I will enjoy it but I've heard good things.

[neat quiver]

Ooh yeah I've heard a lot of great stuff on hollow knight I'm sure youll like it. I got valheim finally

[warm plover]

YESSSSSSS

[night kraken]

Great choice, its pretty great and should improve with each update

[night kraken]

Big fan of hollow knight are you lol?

[warm plover]

yeah
i got so into exploring it that i passed out playing it once

[neat quiver]

Yeah I'm loving the game. Got unlucky and been having unity engine crash problems but I'm finding fixes and I know it's not valheims fault

[night kraken]

Damn I didn't even realise that was a thing, hope you can get past them all with little issue

[neat quiver]

Yeah it's super rare apparently. There s only 60ish other people I've found on Reddit who have the issue so out of 5 mil that's not many

[night kraken]

That's insane. But maybe with luck like that you will get into the pre-alpha at least and find rare bugs there

[deft sonnet]

Guys keep this chat palia related 😁👍 you can talk about this in #🎮│other-games

[neat quiver]

Hahaha here's hoping. I've never done an alpha test though so I'll have to learn if I get into the palia prealpha

[deft sonnet]

I also have never done pre alpha testing but here is for hoping

[neat quiver]

@deft sonnet my bad. speaking of palia has there been any new news other than the character reveal thing

[night kraken]

Don't worry, just brought it back with pre-alpha talk Its too easy to get off-topic

[deft sonnet]

Nope not that i know of atleast

[night kraken]

Yeah nothing new yet, just got to wait for the next village vote reveal for now

[deft sonnet]

Yeah i saw 😊

[mystic gale]

Well. Not like I just spent my entire night making a Palia meme or anything >_>

Hope you all are doing swimmingly

[night kraken]

Did you get any sleep?

[neat quiver]

I feel that @night kraken Im so easily distracted. I'm also so ready for palia

[night kraken]

I'm doing fairly well though, how about yourself?

[mystic gale]

Oh heck to the no. I don't usually go to bed on time anyway though, so I'm just due soon.

[warm plover]

go to bedddd

[night kraken]

Same. With the pre-alpha close that means we are even closer to seeing more gameplay etc of it

[lyric ether]

bedtimes are overrated unless it's for a child.

[torpid sandal]

bedtime

[neat quiver]

Then you get to be older and gotta set bedtimes for yourself so you can get up for responsibilities

[mystic gale]

See I'm already older and get to set my own bedtime, but I have chosen not to be responsible about it until I get a new job.

[torpid sandal]

or, you could not have any responsibilities and therefore not have to get up!

[night kraken]

If only

[lyric ether]

Just become old enough that you retire, easy

[neat quiver]

You've got a point @torpid sandal

[torpid sandal]

speaking of, I'm tired good night lol I hope y'all had a good day see ya tomorrow!

[deft sonnet]

Gn

[night kraken]

Take care mate

[celest maple]

gnight

[neat quiver]

I think I'll go to bed too. It's 3:30 here so it's prolly good to be asleep

[torpid sandal]

[patent adder]

Sleep well friend

[torpid sandal]

it's only half past midnight here :p

[neat quiver]

East coast beast coast

[torpid sandal]

west coast best coast

[neat quiver]

Hehehe never been all the way west. Got to Montana tho once

[torpid sandal]

I've been to Florida but nowhere else over there lol

oh wait I was supposed to be sleeping

I've decided I want ramen so no sleep

[celest maple]

as a foreigner to the USA, i've been to airports in several states =P but only really visited New York, and it was a very small part of it

[torpid sandal]

oh cool!! where are you from?

[patent adder]

Bean sleep 👀

[mystic gale]

I haven't had the opportunity to travel internationally much, but I've been to 44 out of 50 US states.

[torpid sandal]

I just put the pan on the stove to boil water

[warm plover]

i know some state names in the us but no idea where they are

i think Texas is big and in the south and thats about all i know

[celest maple]

i live in New Zealand. and my husband is from Buffalo, New York

[whole tide]

I haven't been to that many states here, but I've been to Mexico and Tanzania. Going to Egypt in two weeks and I can't wait!

[turbid spruce]

Been waiting for palia forever

😩

[torpid sandal]

I think we all have now lol

[turbid spruce]

R we gonna get to play it this yr lol

[patent adder]

26 days that feels like forever😜

[lyric ether]

you're lucky, all I have to do is put the pan outside and it'll boil

[torpid sandal]

alpha keys go out tomorrow (today actually) if I'm not mistaken

[whole tide]

Well the alpha is coming out soon so you'll at least be able to play something. @turbid spruce

[warm plover]

we already saw gliders in the trailer so maybe we'll get air travel in palia? like a balloon or a cannon that takes you super high so you can glide to where you want

[torpid sandal]

lol I can do that when it's afternoon

[warm plover]

theyre prealpha keys isnt that different from an alpha)

[willow pilot]

This might be a silly question but are we allowed to use one of the official art pictures as our profile picture on discord? There's this super adorable girl in one that I adore and want to cosplay too!!

[warm plover]

I don't think it would be a problem?

[turbid spruce]

I’ve signed up for alpha since last month I thought it’s literally coming out after a month but nope not yet

[lyric ether]

I doubt we will see any form of air travel beyond gliders. It's too hard to create a box and keep immersion if you have flight. It exposes all the areas with no assets.

[turbid spruce]

😢

[whole tide]

@warm plover Depends on the studio, but in the case of this studio, I'm sure I should have stated Pre-alpha. LOL

[warm plover]

fair

[mystic gale]

No, pre-alpha invites are going out some time in the next week, but only to 1,400 people. And then they'll add more people as time goes on.

[warm plover]

please remember that it's for testing purposes and isn't like a demo or anything

[lyric ether]

Plus without flight you can use terrain as a natural wall to block you inside the box, with flight you need immersion breaking invisible walls

[wide wedge]

probably therell be some wiping

[warm plover]

Oh, true

[mystic gale]

Mhm, if you do get an invite they're going to want you to provide valuable and consistent feedback, report bugs you find, etc.

And yes, they've confirmed that there will be wipes

[brisk olive]

Good evening is palia out yet yeehaw

[wide wedge]

nope

[warm plover]

no

[brisk olive]

Damn will check again tomorrow

[torpid sandal]

soon

not tomorrow lol

[whole tide]

Not this week even. LOL

[brisk olive]

Lmfao

[torpid sandal]

probably gotta wait like 6 months minimum for release

[warm plover]

I mean expect the full release to take at least a year, maybe two

[torpid sandal]

at least that's what I think

[brisk olive]

Alright, Thursday it is

Talk to y’all then tysm

[torpid sandal]

...

[warm plover]

wack

[willow pilot]

@warm plover Thank you! I did it!! I will change it though if it's against the rules!!

[warm plover]

oh is that pie lady?

[willow pilot]

Yeah!! She's so cute!! I love her!

[warm plover]

good taste

[lyric ether]

wouldn't know why it would be against the rules. If anything I would assume they would happy the players like their art enough to use it as an identifier.

[willow pilot]

hehe thank you!! I want to cosplay her!!

@lyric ether That's true, I just wanted to make sure!!

[lyric ether]

likely common courtesy among artists. I'm not one so I wouldn't know

[somber girder]

when is alpha coming?

[lyric ether]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-hamster-gif-4508050

[past harbor]

hehehehe

soon tm

[warm plover]

Well, I don't really have any authority on the subject. I think using official art is fine though, but if you use someone's personal art, you should ask them first and credit them where you can

[full grove]

Good luck to everyone who gets to test it out! c:

[wide wedge]

im going to sleep!! see yall in a few hours!!

[celest maple]

night!

[deft sonnet]

Gn

[plain condor]

Morning all wonderful people! I hope you’re all having a great day 😄

[torpid sandal]

night!!!!

and mornin!

[plain condor]

Oof, that timing 🙂

[torpid sandal]

lol

[deft sonnet]

Haha

So are ya guys readyy

[torpid sandal]

yupyup

I think the second survey said that they pre alpha keys would be going out in about a week, so based on when they sent that out its either today or tomorrow hopefully?

[patent adder]

Yeah, that's the timeframe they estimated😄

[kindred sable]

very cool

i'll be happy if i get key or not
if i get one, i can play
if i don't, i can hear about other people playing

[warm plover]

you cant

theyll be under a non disclosure agreement

they cant really tell us anything happening in the prealpha

[kindred sable]

dang, nevermind then lol

[lyric ether]

Honestly, there will likely be information somewhere. there always is. but there shouldn't be.

[kindred sable]

yea xd
well, we can still look forward to the game's release

[torpid sandal]

yuppp :)

[warm plover]

Eventually

[safe fern]

Morning all/happy timezone

[warm plover]

Happy timezone

[night kraken]

Happy timezone 👋

[plain condor]

I’m so hyped 🙂 The pre-alpha would come perfectly for vacation on friday, which translates to tons of testing 😄

[torpid sandal]

happy timezoneee

[deft sonnet]

Gll ya have little to no chance but there is praying

[unborn moth]

Do we have any info on regions game will be accessible? Is the pre-alpha gonna be US+EU?

[warm plover]

every day i regret my survey answer more

We don't know yet

[deft sonnet]

Yeah this i wonder myself aswell

[plain condor]

Well, lets hope that the forms had some kind of deciding factor on who gets to test the pre-alpha. If not, everyone have the same chance 🙂

[torpid sandal]

lmao mood

[unborn moth]

Would be guttered if when they start invites it's region locked!

[warm plover]

We know that they have some criteria, but we dont know what those criteria are

[night kraken]

Same

[warm plover]

well, there's going to be multiple testing phases
even if it's regionlocked to start with, they'll expand eventually

[unborn moth]

Yep very true

[deft sonnet]

True but 1400 players in a discord with 85 k

[torpid sandal]

okay I just finished my ramen so imma actually go to sleep now lol gn

[warm plover]

night

[safe fern]

Perhaps they will want to test connections from all regions, though I don't know if they test that in pre-alpha

[brittle halo]

eyy, whus poppin folks?

[plain condor]

Not gonna argue with that 🙂

[warm plover]

👋

hey anyone wanna do a drinking game with me? take a shot every time someone asks when prealpha is

you can just drink water if you're a minor

[plain condor]

Oof! We’ll be drunk for weeks

[warm plover]

Yeah 😔

[deft sonnet]

Im in

[coarse portal]

When is pre alpha?

[summer skiff]

When is pre alpha

[warm plover]

pain

[wintry atlas]

Dependent on their requirements, the deciding factors may well be the aspects of the survey that everyone answers in 5 seconds - Region, PC Specs etc.

[deft sonnet]

SHOT SHOT

[night kraken]

You will die in a day from the alcohol poisoning

[summer skiff]

When is pre alpha

[warm plover]

(i dont actually have any alcohol on hand)

[deft sonnet]

I do

[raw quarry]

What do you have?

[summer skiff]

Bottoms up Then

[warm plover]

i should extend it to people asking when prealpha/alpha/beta is bc sometimes ppl ask about those

[deft sonnet]

Alcohol in hand

[plain condor]

I only got whiskey. Not gonna waste it on this :p

[warm plover]

Please dont actually do this dushebrjsjd

[kindred sable]

vodka

[warm plover]

No

[outer phoenix]

Ugh, I hope my old laptop is good enough to handle Palia

[warm plover]

well they say theyre running the game on toasters so you might be ok?

[nimble belfry]

“When is pre-“stumbles over a rock and hits nose on sign with info on it from a few posts up “Owie…erm..I mean, hello everyone! Pleasure to meet ya!”

[warm plover]

👋

[outer phoenix]

It fails all the tests on canyourunit but then I run stuff no problem, just a little slow - hope that's the worst possibility here

[summer skiff]

I hate how they use toasters as a low standard

I respect my toaster

[kindred sable]

toasters are a respected member of the household

[outer phoenix]

My flatmate has fried eggs in his toaster

[warm plover]

that sounds like a sin

[nimble belfry]

I would say it should be a potato, but I think Glad0s changed that idea

[brittle halo]

I mean if I can play Palia AND cook a hot meal at the same time, why not go for a toaster?

[lyric ether]

dude, My toaster is the best thing sense sliced bread. It can cook 8 pieces of toast at a time, and has slots for bagels and waffles.

[summer skiff]

Potat0s

[plain condor]

My toaster and also the upgraded sandwich grill is rather forgotten at the back of my cupbord

[nimble belfry]

….I need a toaster like that

[regal swallow]

Welcome to day 7

[night kraken]

I mean, would you really count toast a hot meal rather than a hot snack?

[regal swallow]

Of the next week

[nimble belfry]

In a household of 5 bread lovers

[summer skiff]

Toasters are amazing

[brittle halo]

depends on how much toast you make

[warm plover]

everyone in here is just hungry at all times huh

[night kraken]

Good point

[outer phoenix]

Wait, there's a difference between a toaster and a "sandwich grill"? I thought it was all toasters

[kindred sable]

that is a really impressive toaster actually

[thorny dune]

I make toast using a pan on the stove

[nimble belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/bear-hungry-food-cute-all-the-food-gif-15113277

[warm plover]

I have a sandwich grill I think but I call it a sandwich press

[outer phoenix]

Can you run Palia on a sandwich grill?

[raw quarry]

Sandwich grill is superior for its ability to melt cheese

[warm plover]

but i also have a toaster

[plain condor]

The grill squashes and are meant to grill ingredients as well 😄

[outer phoenix]

Yes, well. My flatmate made eggs in a sandwich grill, Doubt he could do it in one of those pop up toasters

[night kraken]

I call mine the same, maybe its an Aussie thing?

[brittle halo]

running Palia is gonna be the new DOOM

[void imp]

nel and whoa really are up still, huh?

[maiden nymph]

Good day everyone

[nimble belfry]

I’ve used our waffle maker to make keto pancakes. They actually weren’t all that bad either

[ivory kite]

morning guys

[void imp]

hi ham master

[lyric ether]

Welcome to Palia chat, where the discussion includes. Food because we are always hungry, Puns because we are sadists and masochists, and random banter of other video games.

[nimble belfry]

Oh no.

[raw quarry]

Well Palia is on Unreal 4 so I don't think it'll quite be a new Doom

[plain condor]

English isn’t my first languade and sandwich grill is a direct translation of ”Smörgås grill” 🙂

[mellow verge]

And we fail at staying on topic lol

[warm plover]

might be!

[nimble belfry]

I’m new here and already deal with a pun-filled boyfriend. I can never escape, can I? D:

[celest maple]

absolutely doing the water version of this right now, i'm in!

[lyric ether]

we can't even stay on the topic we are offtopic about

[deft sonnet]

Nah mate

[warm plover]

stay hydrated

[brittle halo]

a better way to look at it is multi-track drifting with the server's collective train of thought

[night kraken]

Ahh I see. Good to know 😄

[kindred sable]

that's a lot cooler

[night kraken]

Just escape into the pre-alpha, hide behind the NDA

[void imp]

madd, how is your face? i read about the dice incident

[warm plover]

I saw a spider in the shower and I tried to keep my shower as short as possible cause i didnt wanna bother it...

[maiden nymph]

👀 been switching languages in 4 different meetings today Croatian -> English -> German -> Russian, and i defintily need to practice my russian, i got most of the convo but i spoke suuuuuper slowly xD

[lyric ether]

some would say the spider was the one being the bother

[warm plover]

those people are mean

[nimble belfry]

Haha mayhaps. Though we’ll see. I am very much looking forward to more information in regards to this game. I’d love to see it succeed

[mellow verge]

Happened to me recently but then I captured it to put outside

[warm plover]

When will I find a pun-filled boyfriend

[kindred sable]

impressive

[lyric ether]

I woke up with a giant spider on my pillow once, I like spiders but totally wasn't the first thing i wanted to see when I wake up.

[mellow verge]

... Scary

[warm plover]

spiders are friends
i mean i dont particularly want to go near them but i try not to bother them and they dont bother me

[kindred sable]

at least it wasn't in your mouth

[summer skiff]

Mmh proteins

[kindred sable]

that woulda been awkward

[warm plover]

cursed

[placid junco]

true

[brittle halo]

I'm surviving lol, the masks do help cover the potential bruising

[mellow verge]

I'm genuinely afraid of spiders so I just try to avoid them

[night kraken]

Same. Its the worst when they hang around above doorways

[lyric ether]

I like them anywhere except on my bed

[nimble belfry]

They can be a bit of a rare find. But I’m sure you’ll find one one day

[zinc steeple]

Good morning lovely Palians

[warm plover]

🙏

[celest maple]

yeah my husband hates spiders. so i remove them for him, even though i'm also afraid of them

[kindred sable]

they're just helping catch unwanted flies from coming through the door

[mellow verge]

I generally have my husband remove any bug I find 😅

I hope any bugs in Palia are cute

[warm plover]

im awful with bugs but I'm worse at killing things

I want beeeeeeeeeees™️

[maiden nymph]

I'm not afraid to touch spiders since i watched/read "I am a spider, so what" that killed my doubts about moving them with my bare hands.

[lyric ether]

Bees is the only bug I actually kill lol

[mellow verge]

Bees are the good guys

[warm plover]

WHY

[nimble belfry]

Maybe they meant wasps?

[zinc steeple]

Hi *waves

[lyric ether]

Because it's better I kill them before they sting me. Stupid things always get me every dang year.

[mellow verge]

Nooo don't kill bees, they're practically endangered

T.T just try to trap them

[warm plover]

i thought they WERE endangered

[kindred sable]

yea, but you could also just not bother them and they won't sting you and they won't be dead

[mellow verge]

I'm not sure officially but yknow

[warm plover]

🤔

[lyric ether]

I didn't always use to kill them ya know. So your advise doesn't work

[warm plover]

do you think people know im a guy

[kindred sable]

yes

[warm plover]

oh. wild

[mellow verge]

I do understand if it's unavoidable for some reason or you're allergic

[celest maple]

damn that's one heck of a coincidence just now. husband taps me and points at a roach that's got inside somehow. it's out now, but damn if i'm not also really creeped out by roaches o.o

[maiden nymph]

They actually recovered since corona, it's assumed the reduced carbon monoxide helped them a lot.

[warm plover]

i hate roaches

[warm plover]

damn i guess this plague was good for something

[lyric ether]

not allergic, just don't like being stung. and it's just a bug

[mellow verge]

But the pollen

[warm plover]

bees are very important to the environment

its not just a bug

[mellow verge]

It's ok. I do my part. I plant flowers and let wild stuff grow for them

doubt they do much good for the enviroment bothering me.

[kindred sable]

i'm mildly allergic to bees, but i haven't gotten stung for years cuz i just respect them

[warm plover]

😪

[nimble belfry]

I have allergic reactions to bee stings. But I usually just do my best to avoid them. Thankfully its not to a deadly level

[maiden nymph]

Basically any native insect to the region is important to the enviroment

it's only rarely not the case

[mellow verge]

True lol.
I just have a vendetta against wasps

[placid junco]

me right now im trying to finde a spider and im on me birou XD

[kindred sable]

that's very true

[warm plover]

also bees are cute

[lyric ether]

it's not like i chase them down to kill them. but if they get near me at any point in time.. they signed their own warrant

[kindred sable]

you take wolves out of an environment, and the grazing animal population becomes overbearing

[placid junco]

true

[kindred sable]

true

[safe fern]

A podcast I like did an episode on wasps recently and I'm a little more ok with them now

[mellow verge]

Wasps do not much of nothing but end up as dragonfly food

[cold mesa]

How you cool cats and kittens doing?!

[night kraken]

That they can be

[warm plover]

i had a bee literally on my back once
i just kinda stayed still till it flew off
they dont sting you if you arent dangerous

[mellow verge]

Plus wasps are total jerks

[warm plover]

🐈

[kindred sable]

wasps are jerks

[mellow verge]

We've got bumble bees here, I love them

[maiden nymph]

Wasps are also pollinators

[cold mesa]

Ban wasps from Palia

[night kraken]

That's a kind way of putting it

[warm plover]

🐈‍⬛

[mellow verge]

Not when they stay under my car port and get in my house to chase me

[raw quarry]

Yeah wasps are pretty unfairly hated imo

[safe fern]

Some wasps are so tiny people think they are gnats

[kindred sable]

some wasps sting you 3 times just for fun

[lyric ether]

thats the only thing i like about normal bees, they sting you once they die themselves. serves em right

[safe fern]

The potential of there being bees in Palia makes me happy though

[lyric ether]

I wish other bees was that way.

[nimble belfry]

Shall we beeseech the Palia devs to beelieve in the bees and add them into the game. I bet it’d bee all the buzz

[maiden nymph]

Yes, but tbh the wasps purposes is not common knowledge that is though outside of a biology university course. I only know it because i looked it up some time ago

[mellow verge]

I won't say wasps are entirely bad, but I can't tolerate not being able to go outside and enjoy the weather or planting a garden when I'm in fear of three or four trying to sting me for no reason except them being territorial jerks

[kindred sable]

yeaaa

[safe fern]

Wouldn't even need to be in hives they could have cute little bumblebees about

[raw quarry]

Like on Memecraft when they just fly around looking cute?

[nimble belfry]

exactly

[lyric ether]

wasps are the worst, i keep having to knock their nests off my house.

[maiden nymph]

Gigantic happily singing bumblebees

[zinc steeple]

hornets are the worst

[nimble belfry]

Omg that reminds me of the honeypot (Ronkan) mount in ffxiv

[kindred sable]

xD

[safe fern]

They would have to not be stingers then, giant bees...

[warm plover]

i want bee friends with no stingers in palia

[lyric ether]

i'm agreeable with stingerless bees

only bee bite i've felt that hurts is hornet bites

[brittle halo]

always try to get insects out gently, unless they're wasps, fuck wasps

[kindred sable]

i think them having stingers is what makes them so respectable

like a noble fencer

[nimble belfry]

Maybe we’ll be able to produce our own honey? With our own bee farms

[lyric ether]

yell well tell the bees to keep their swords to themselves or it's harassment

[kindred sable]

that's a really cool idea

[safe fern]

And beeswax candles for our home

[warm plover]

they can help pollinate our flowers too~

[lyric ether]

I'm a pretty reasonable guy, there is only 2 things I dislike. Super long pointy ears on non animal like humanoids, and bees.

[maiden nymph]

your going to hate my OC

[warm plover]

is your oc a bee with long pointy ears

[nimble belfry]

Wait. Does this mean you did not enjoy Jak and Daxter?

[lyric ether]

whos that

[warm plover]

YOU NEVER PLAYED JAK AND DAXTER?

[raw quarry]

I like you

[nimble belfry]

-gasps audibly-

[warm plover]

now i feel old

good news someone just introduced themselves in #👋│introductions
their name is bee :)

[nimble belfry]

You can’t be old because I loved Jak and Daxter and I’m not old

[maiden nymph]

It's a humanoid insect infused with cristals that form in extensive head extensions from where the ears are located xD

[celest maple]

as prophesied

[kindred sable]

Jak and Daxter is a blast from the past

[warm plover]

I'm 19 but I still feel old when people dont know games like jak and daxter

[nimble belfry]

I’m in my 30s. You are absolutely not old

[lyric ether]

looked it up and that geniunly looks disgusting. lol

[warm plover]

it's like ps2 era of course it looks awful

[lyric ether]

those ears are just wrong

[nimble belfry]

Man, it was such an amazingly fun game

[night kraken]

You mean it looks perfect thanks to the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia

[warm plover]

🤔

[celest maple]

im 30s too, but i went from playstation to xbox, so i never owned a PS2 and didn't get to play jak and daxter.
but my friend with a ps2 loved it

[kindred sable]

bruh

[nimble belfry]

For a PS2 title, it actually ages pretty decently

[warm plover]

i remember i liked ratchet and clank on the ps2 as well

[nimble belfry]

Another good one

[night kraken]

Yes! Those were some great games

[maiden nymph]

i'm in my 30's and i grew up with Amiga, NES, Sega Genesis and C64

[nimble belfry]

And Sly Cooper

[warm plover]

I grew up with PS2 and DS Lite

[maiden nymph]

most games from that era are totally unknown to a lot of people

[kindred sable]

[fallen cove]

Nothing wrong with long pointy ear bees with monocle and curved handlebar mustache 🐝

[warm plover]

my brother used to play FFX on the PS2 so much
(it was on sale during the steam sale so i bought it yesterday...)

[fast cosmos]

Anybody got an invite yet?

[warm plover]

no

[celest maple]

C64 was my first console, very cool system! i loved maniac mansion

[warm plover]

they'll announce it when they're sent out, so i've heard

[fast cosmos]

OH ok

[nimble belfry]

You are tempting me to want to draw that if I have time tomorrow

[maiden nymph]

Or if is say "Shadow of the Beast" does that ring a bell with anyone here ?

[lyric ether]

the horror

[warm plover]

Shadow of the Colossus?

[raw quarry]

My dad had a ZX Spectrum, should still have it back at his house kek. Playing Pajarama and Manic Miner was awesome.

[maiden nymph]

no Shadow of Colossus is way newer 👀

[warm plover]

ah, sorry 😔

[maiden nymph]

Manic Miner is a great game 😄

[nimble belfry]

Omg I still loooove Shadow of Colossus and Ico

[celest maple]

everyone playing the game, take a drink

[warm plover]

I remember playing lots of flash games as well
Like Motherlode

[lyric ether]

there was a game i played don't recall what it was, but i played exclusively because it let me collect elf ears

[maiden nymph]

I didn't played many Speccy games but i loved fairlight

[warm plover]

dammit i forgot about the game and im the one who proposed it

[celest maple]

hehe well i'll be here, hydrated, ready to remind you

[raw quarry]

everyone playing the game, take a drink

[maiden nymph]

"Zool" is another game that many people don't know even though it was one of the popular ones in the 90's

[raw quarry]

Zool that tiny ninja maniac thingy

[maiden nymph]

yes

[kindred sable]

they had us wait for the game, so we ended up making our own game, haha

[maiden nymph]

They where in the commercials with chuppa chups too

[nimble belfry]

Actually dont know “Zool” but I remember “Cool Spot”

[warm plover]

it's ok to love people that are taken, it's just a different kind of love

[bright forge]

Hello guys!

[maiden nymph]

Hey 😄

[raw quarry]

Hi Perin

[nimble belfry]

Hello there!

[warm plover]

I'm trying to figure out if I should play My Time In Portia or if I should do literally anything else

[kindred sable]

i'mmm
gonna go sleep
i think that's my time best spent for the rest of the night

[night kraken]

Do it

[warm plover]

does anyone remember the opening cutscene for FFX-2 cause i remembered it yesterday and its living in my brain rentfree

[nimble belfry]

Well, it may be a while before this game comes out. So I say do eet!

[lyric ether]

my time seemed like a good game, oddly enough I never actually played it very long for some reason. Picked it up back in EA played it up to the rat boss guy and just lost interest.

[raw quarry]

Yuna singing her ass off

[maiden nymph]

Anyways what i basically wanted to say, every generation of games has their games they expect to be widely know but it changes depending on which section of games you've been exposed to

[nimble belfry]

I remember that quite vividly, and now I have “Real Emotion” stuck in my head

[warm plover]

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU

[lyric ether]

Jeckt ball is awesome

[nimble belfry]

I CANT HEAR YOU

[warm plover]

i linked the wrong video

[lyric ether]

put it back 😦 I love jecht

[maiden nymph]

It's also stuck with me, it was pretty impressive back when released

[lyric ether]

Jecht battle music was ❤️

[warm plover]

its still impressive now
i dont think ive seen an opening cutscene that tops the feeling of "What? Hell yeah! What?" I got from seeing that when i booted the game

https://youtu.be/z2e4_XChGwA

[nimble belfry]

I was sad that title got as much hate as it did. I quite enjoyed X-2. It wasn’t as good as X, but it still had a lot of fun qualities.

[lyric ether]

x2? never bothered with that one is it any good

[warm plover]

Honestly my memories of it are very fuzzy so I'm not sure

I'm gonna be playing FFX and FFX-2 properly through since I bought them on Steam yesterday

[maiden nymph]

My favorite FF entry is Final Fantasy 6, the story is just too good

[raw quarry]

The vibe completely changed to girl power going on wacky adventure, so not a surprise people were kinda hit by it, but I'd say it was fun.

[lyric ether]

that don't sound very fun lol

[nimble belfry]

I remember the first time I played X. I didnt have a memory card and played it nonstop without saving. Made it all the way to the Shiva fight before dying only because I didnt see the save point (to heal) hidden off screen in the temple

[warm plover]

People liked the boyband final fantasy but they didn't like the pop star final fantasy?

[celest maple]

can be nice to come back to a game and play it through like that. especially if memory is fuzzy. im doing that with diablo II at the moment. really enjoy filling in the blanks and getting to feel like im doing it for the first time

[lyric ether]

which one was the boyband

[raw quarry]

I hated XV pretty much passionately, it was so dumb

[warm plover]

i remember my brother spending literally hours fighting some of the endgame bosses in FFX

[warm plover]

FFXV

[lyric ether]

ah the new one, I didn't care for the gameplay driving in the car was cool though

[nimble belfry]

Which I find a little funny because personally I wasnt feeling XV very much since it just felt like I was playing boyband vacation

[warm plover]

I honestly feel like FFX-2 was more exciting to me than FFXV, even though my memories of it are so vague

[raw quarry]

FFXII superboass Yiazmat, had a bajillion gillion zillion hp, took me 8 hours at lvl99 to beat it

[celest maple]

as a queer 90s kid, i'll say that boyband is a trigger word for a very good time. still know all the coreography to Bye Bye Bye lmao

[warm plover]

........i was thinking about buying ffxii and now im not so sure

[lyric ether]

Sephiroth remains my favorite villain of all times, although Kefka has the best laugh

[maiden nymph]

I am pretty hyped for the new hollow knight game

[mellow verge]

12 is great

[raw quarry]

YES!

[warm plover]

SILKSONG WOOOOOO

[nimble belfry]

I love Kefka for his laugh so much

[maiden nymph]

Kefka is underrated, he was actually a villain who got something done

[warm plover]

I'll put FFXII on my wishlist
theres no way im going to play that and FFX at the same time

[nimble belfry]

FFVI had a phenomenal cast of characters

[warm plover]

ugh.,.... but theres a sale...

does anyone know if the steam ver of ffxii goes on sale often?

[nimble belfry]

Honestly I’m not sure

[mellow verge]

It's on sale until the 8th

[split brook]

I have to say sorry, but that intro scene literally destroyed everything i tough Final Fantasy was until that point.... and the rest of the game only made me feel worse about it

[warm plover]

i know its on sale rn but i just want to know if it goes on sale often so i can buy it later

[nimble belfry]

I bought it forever ago, so don’t keep an eye on it anymore

[warm plover]

Honestly I get that but I really didn't mind it. I thought it was rad as hell when I was a kid and I still think it's rad as hell now

[mellow verge]

Everhow

🐢 Meep

Palia things uh ...

[lyric ether]

I wish final fantasy would of stuck with semi-turn based and didn't buy into all the action stuff everyone is going to now days. It feels like the true RPG genre is dying

[mellow verge]

Do you think there'll be any "bad" guys?

[lyric ether]

true shar we all should go to other games or something

[mellow verge]

.w. I'm trying to help us all

[maiden nymph]

The humans before they went missing 👀

[mellow verge]

Ha that'd be wild

[lyric ether]

Plot twist, we are the bad guys

[nimble belfry]

Well, we are humans returning to a world that was human free

[coarse portal]

"Are we the baddies?"

[nimble belfry]

…poor Palia. It was doing so well, then they had to bring the humans back

[lyric ether]

I'm down with being the bad guy in the game. -sharpens axe- Now where is Jel

[mellow verge]

Yeah but I doubt we were bad lol

[warm plover]

no murdering our local fashionista

[mellow verge]

You leave my handsome fashion boy alone places him behind me

[maiden nymph]

Palia humans be like, "Oh that was your place, now it's mine since my house is on it"

[nimble belfry]

Hehe you anyway! I’m going to go around door to door soliciting

[split brook]

I'm having flashbacks of X-2 now.... ho no, please no.... "throws up all over the floor"

[nimble belfry]

Mwahahhahahahahahhahaha

[lyric ether]

But... I always kill the transmog vendor... it's my thing

[warm plover]

i liked x-2 :/

No! Bad

Jel is my precious

just wait till they find oil xD

[warm plover]

do i wanna play ffx or my time in portia...

[lyric ether]

FFX

[nimble belfry]

I think thats what the lore was saying about humans. That we were essentially extinct, but have to re-aclimate. Unless I read that wrong

[split brook]

You can also go for some XII, that was a good one XD

[warm plover]

id rather finish ffx before starting xii

[lyric ether]

man, usually I don't get this effect but some reason today the chat has unleashed my inner murder hobo. I totally want to kill all the npcs lol

[warm plover]

no way in hell am i going to balance two jrpgs at once

[mellow verge]

chases with a broom

[raw quarry]

Well definitelyt play X if you are half way through it then imo

[lyric ether]

Can't you have no broom nobody voted for #1

[split brook]

You won't miss anything, X and XII are completely different

[warm plover]

oh no im just saying theres no way i can juggle the two at once
and im craving x more than xii

shit i also have to finish nier replicant...

[lyric ether]

there appears to be a lot of variety gamers around. most communities i go to it's just a bunch of people with a specific genre they like

[split brook]

@warm ploverHeads Up XII (zodiac age) has the best (in my opinion) version of battle on the big bridge in the whole FF series

[mellow verge]

I'm into all games except pvp and fps so Palia just kinda fits in with what I like

[lyric ether]

anyone here heavy into PvP games and likes vampires?

[raw quarry]

Just a heads up. FFXII introduced the gambit system, which is possibly the single most great gameplay addition to any FF game ever. Bioware even said they copied it for their Dragon Age series.

[warm plover]

the gambit system is the basically "code your friends" thing right

also X has suteki da ne

[mellow verge]

I don't wanna sound like a back seat mod but #🎮│other-games

[warm plover]

i hate the 10s slowmode in that channel 😔

[raw quarry]

Yes. Super satisfying doing end game battles that you've just AI minimaxed your friends for, and watching them just nuke rooms of enemies as they spawn in.

[mellow verge]

I did a lot of off topic and trying to help .w.

[split brook]

Belive me FFXII zodiac age music is quite superior to X, the reorquestrated version literally broke the bar to a new lvl, those boss music themes take you to action heaven XD

[patent adder]

There's a 10sec slow mode there?!

[warm plover]

yeah it sucks and thats why noone wants to use it

[mellow verge]

There's a slow mode in almost all the channels

[warm plover]

yeah but the one in here, where its more active, is 5 seconds

[patent adder]

Off-topic doesn't have one

[warm plover]

At the very least I am strong! I work with steel 🥳

[torpid sandal]

true..... then it's a maybe

hello again rin

[nimble belfry]

Btw, I see this is an MMO, but I have seen some games labeled as “MMO” though they provided private servers. Has there been any word if private servers might be a thing for this game? I’m curious because I’m always usually part of a Roleplaying community that values immersive roleplay

[warm plover]

hi bean

[patent adder]

You got that height advantage on me though, so who knows.

[torpid sandal]

that is also true..... and I'm very flexible so I'm pretty good at dodging

maybe I will fight you then

[patent adder]

I think the closest game in terms of servers might be RuneScape, but I'm not positive

[patent adder]

Put em up. 👏

[mellow verge]

I don't think there will be. I think it's a mega server with shards for matchmaking people that enjoy the same parts of the game

[patent adder]

Honestly your best bet will be https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E

Gooooood timezone!!

[nimble belfry]

Aww. Well, I can see benefits to that as well. But it does make me sad

[patent adder]

The Google doc is pretty much everything we know!

[nimble belfry]

Ah! Much appreciated

[mellow verge]

I think since the focus is community they wouldn't want private servers

[torpid sandal]

lmao idk why it's not letting me put the head in the middle

[mellow verge]

They've touched on having anti grief systems in place as well, but I get your concern definitely

[nimble belfry]

It’s the number one cause of my quiting quite a list of games. I usually roleplay on Ark RP whitelisted server now to get my fix

[patent adder]

Cause it knows the outcome

[nimble belfry]

Land claim issues, market inflation, glitches, pure harassment, exploiting mechanics. I’ve seen too many of these to count

[rose cedar]

infinite housing in Palia we are good

[maiden nymph]

^

[mellow verge]

Yeah that's why I'm hoping the devs stick with instanced housing, I like my own quiet space to chill in and invite others over if I want

[maiden nymph]

Just do the housing/building like in WildStar and add more interactions = perfect housing mmo

[rose cedar]

have a feeling it will be close to this

[coarse portal]

Invite someone to your house, block em in with furniture

[mellow verge]

ESO has my favorite housing, lol

Ability to clip and rotate 360

[maiden nymph]

WildStar housing was the same, and even more then in ESO

[coarse portal]

There's so many ways to grief sadly.

[mellow verge]

So I hope Palia is better than ff14, that's all I hope ...

[nimble belfry]

Oh that is nice! I remember ffxiv, it took 4 years until a friend bought a house for me (I could never get a plot), then I went through a dark period in my life and had to be away from pc for a few months and lost my house in Limsa, and items. Needless to say I never desired a house in ffxiv again after that. I just live in our FC house

[coarse portal]

So from the trailer, it looks like you are completely free in placing stuff everywhere

[mellow verge]

Think they said no clipping but you can clutter surfaces

[nimble belfry]

I had a lot of fun with housing in Wildstar

[rose cedar]

cant block me in with furniture if it just takes a button click to leave

[maiden nymph]

Someone reviewed my WildStar house before they increased the building limit (which i hit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFuTyElk5VU&t=2120s

[mellow verge]

Wrong channel my guy

[maiden nymph]

i really really love placing things freely

well it's in context to palia 😄

i want to freely place stuff and clip it since that allows for creativity

[mellow verge]

Someone in suggestions mentioned being able to change character appearance in game, I hope they do and don't charge real money for it.

Wow did amazing with letting you change your sex and overall appearance

[maiden nymph]

I wished i had a video of that house after the limit was increased, since i actually filled it up to the new cap after that 👀

well anyways i can just hope Palia will offer something similar at least within the house

[honest haven]

Morning all

[maiden nymph]

Morning 🙂

[pure jolt]

Good night

[cold mesa]

Happy Time Zones haha

[iron bane]

Good morning everyone!

[celest maple]

Yes I hope changing character appearance doesn’t cost real money

yes happy timezone!

It'd be cool if you didn't even choose gender and instead get to customize appearance however. and have the option of changing it up in-game, and wearing anything on any model. just cus. fantasy worlds be like "you can play as this ELF" and Palia can be like truely fantastic, and say "you can play like yoursELF" xD

[plain condor]

This!

[rose cedar]

pretty sure this is how it will be except you will have to be a human

[celest maple]

i love that they've decided to go the all-human route, for some very specific reasons. and this is one of them, for sure

[keen aspen]

@celest maple
😱
A unicorn!
Isaac!

[celest maple]

another being how the humans just appear and they don't know why.
to me, it's a very clever bit of storytelling. what's the most unique thing about humans? arguably their ability to question deeply the world around them, and how they came to be.
recreating a sense of mystery around the "meaning of life" is a very cool touch for a fantasy world imo

[celest maple]

Golden Sun is the greatest game of all time. just my opinion, okay =P <3

[keen aspen]

I am totally with you! Part 4 and kicking Alex butt when?

Okay, continue with your convo, just lurked in and saw that glorious picture and just had to comment haha

[celest maple]

close contender

[summer skiff]

by being human is to seek constant betterment and progress and an innate curiosity

also killing each other every now and then

[celest maple]

hehe yes. a sigh of relief they're skipping over that last part lol

[summer skiff]

for now 🙂

[celest maple]

well, they are saying this will be the first of their worlds. worlds plural. so i reckon we could have some chaos on another planet ><

[rose cedar]

there wont be any pk in Palia ever. lol

[summer skiff]

cooking contest will be so violent rarely losers survive

[rose cedar]

there is no hp or death sooo

the best things are

I kind of wonder what the start of a social MMO would be like.

Hug meta?

[celest maple]

you begin with hello. and repeat until everyone is adequately greeted
oh yes, hugs too!

[warm plover]

compliment meta

[celest maple]

Do we know if there will be an ignore feature in the game?

being nice to people sr any%

[brisk ivy]

"I'm a dragon monk! Ultimate move, hug of a thousand biceps!"

[warm plover]

is sr server record?

Is it me or did we get more emojis? I'm on the phone, so maybe they just look bigger.

Nah, they probably just look bigger.

[severe gorge]

guddo moningu

[brisk ivy]

Think they'll have bird hunting in Palia?

[severe gorge]

maybe bird catching?

[plush otter]

hmm who knows

[void imp]

duck feeding skill

[severe gorge]

trapping?

[brisk ivy]

They shown birds in the trailer, if I recall.

[void imp]

they do quench

[plush otter]

i agree.

[knotty crown]

nah, I don't think the devs wat to run afowl of peta

[severe gorge]

[warm plover]

Meow
Nomi I'm playing FFX :)

[void imp]

they're already running afowl of peta by making a hunting simulator and farm simulator, i imagine

[severe gorge]

#FreetheChuus

[brisk ivy]

Maybe if I fire arrows up in the air and totes not accidentally hit innocent bystanders, I can hunt birds.

[winged basalt]

They're running afowl of peta by having the audacity to not feed into petas money making scam...

[knotty crown]

ok i did my joke, time to scoot

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/worldmlp1/images/8/89/Scoots.gif

[static mango]

Morning guys

[severe gorge]

SCOOT SCOOT SCOOTALOO~

[winged basalt]

Peta only exists to make money. Not help animals. They kill way more than they 'save'

[knotty crown]

But what about the trees?!

[brisk ivy]

People eat tasty animals, so I hope they don't save them for later. Too tasty.

[severe gorge]

you can preserve em, just make jerky

[void imp]

[brisk ivy]

Snoopy kind of looks like Shaggy in his avatar.

[severe gorge]

OOH good manga/anime (only watched and read a little tho)

[regal swallow]

LIKE zoinks Scoob. Like let's get out of here.

[static mango]

[brisk ivy]

I get my anime confused sometimes. Hunter X Hunter. Scooby Doo. Same thing.

[void imp]

hehehe

[severe gorge]

scooby doo IS an anime fite me

[static mango]

Basically

[void imp]

i'm so excited to have a huge screenshot folder with palia landscape "photography" and memories of friends ( U W U )

[severe gorge]

👀

[void imp]

there's a "photgraphy" subreddit for sea of thieves, i bet palia has that same potential

photo contests are fun too! we did that in animal crossing and there were prizes

[faint dawn]

Hi Nerds❤️

[static mango]

yooooo

[void imp]

ANA

[faint dawn]

Hows you all?

[maiden nymph]

[static mango]

Great now that you're here

[brisk ivy]

Is today the day the lucky few ascend, leaving those behind to fight?

[faint dawn]

Uncharactaristic of you to conplament.. usually you say sonething to get thibgs heated.. xD

[static mango]

Anastasia.. Anastasia.. I've always complemented you, you bring the sass

[void imp]

[faint dawn]

Oh, i will fite people.

[static mango]

[regal swallow]

We shall see

[faint dawn]

I aint no kissup, but i like to be composed and polite aswell.

[regal swallow]

They might announce today but the test might be a bit later

[brisk ivy]

I need to head to the grocery store to buy canned foods for the end of times.

[static mango]

yeah but when someone new joins and you tell them something, sometimes they take it the wrong way and it's so funny to see

[brisk ivy]

And toilet paper.

[static mango]

I still remember my only drama 🥺 ... Gerard

[faint dawn]

??? What? I juat tell them no hp no Death... not my problem they cant take it.

Im just regurgatating what the faq doc says.

[static mango]

as we all do

[faint dawn]

People just be like "mrrr mah combat"

[severe gorge]

mmrrrr mah pvp

as a PvPer i am greatly offended that there is no pvp, time to sign up for pre alfa

[brisk ivy]

Death is for the weak. I'm going to be a strong and never lose to any chapaa. I don't need no HP.

[void imp]

brb gonna drop my paliasona

[brisk ivy]

My k/d will be the best it's ever been in Palia.

[severe gorge]

👀

[brisk ivy]

At or above 0.

[pearl ore]

My K/D will be undefined, because you can't divide by 0

[gritty veldt]

my k/d will somehow be 0/1

[severe gorge]

[gritty veldt]

maybe even 0/2

[stark wasp]

Hello!

Been a while since i looked into this chat.. any updates?

[gritty veldt]

howdy

[brisk ivy]

You burnt your icecubes and drowned.

[warm plover]

aw man am i missing the hot palia drama?

[gritty veldt]

alpha keys coming out this week,,, eris absolutely despises puns,,,,,,, brittany has been dubbed a palia mentor by nel ✨ ,,,, that’s about it

[warm plover]

there was also some drama over the palia mentor thing but i missed that too

[faint dawn]

Its, best you did...

[gritty veldt]

yes. the second fatality is i tripped and took too much fall damage

[brisk ivy]

Wait, what about fall damage? Did they ever talk about it? Like if you fall off a mountain.

[warm plover]

i remember seeing a little bit of it and thinking it was a very dumb argument

[gritty veldt]

yike

[faint dawn]

Its best to just avoid drama as much as possible.. it always tends to find you... no matter what..

[gritty veldt]

i don’t think there is any but it’s four am and idk how to read anymore

it might be in the doc somewhere ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stark wasp]

Aww man.. I hope I get a key

[remote latch]

Yeah I missed that 'discussion' but read about it afterwards

[faint dawn]

If you junp off a mountain and dont deploy your glider... concern

[stark wasp]

I will be finding all sort of bugs..

[brisk ivy]

I'll be the one to help people. I'm the most nice person! Want to fight about it?

[stark wasp]

Hahahah

[remote latch]

I don't recall it ever being asked in ask the team .. so might be something to put forward next time they open them

[faint dawn]

Im pretty sure glider will be as easy as doubletap space or if already falling just space...

[remote latch]

Or it automatically works

[faint dawn]

That too

[stark wasp]

Or if you are falling you can space again.. to use the glider..

[remote latch]

I mean what if there isn't any breeze

[gritty veldt]

i ain’t even gonna lie one of my fav things about hollow knight is that there is no fall damage so im greatly looking forward to finding the highest drop in palia and flinging myself off of it just for the satisfaction of The Perfect Landing

[warm plover]

maybe itll autodeploy at a certain height

[faint dawn]

Might explin whyno fall damage cuz its me proof...

[stark wasp]

Bet ya will find my house on the highest peak.. if its possible

[faint dawn]

Ive died many time with glider in gw2.... xD

[pearl ore]

I only take winter damage. The other seasons are good to me

[brisk ivy]

Some games use a fall damage animation that stuns players for awhile.

[faint dawn]

summer damage

[brisk ivy]

Spring damage. Ask sonic about it. Serious whiplash.

[stark wasp]

Hmm.. I wish the devs will put diff seasons and cold and hot stats.. in the future.. not now tho (pre alpha)

[warm plover]

when humans suddenly returned to palia they stopped taking fall damage

[gritty veldt]

spring damage is just allergies

[pearl ore]

"I took fall damage and it. was. stunning!"

[warm plover]

I have hayfever so I take spring damage...

[remote latch]

hmm .. just read this in the unofficial faq .. 'We're starting smaller and aiming to grow bigger. For alpha we will certainly have instances of our maps that support so many players, but making sure your group is together and you can visit each other without loading screens and your social experience is smooth is one of our primary goals as a team.' Proof that they plan to add new areas later down the line .. that may coincide with new race .. or new combat options.

[warm plover]

i hate spring

[remote latch]

oh sheesh .. the puns .. the puns

[stark wasp]

Ow so theres diff races to pick

I thought it was just humans..

[wintry atlas]

It's an interesting mesh of systems - No damage / fall damage but also a no. of people want to explore. Not that damage solely makes exploration rewarding, but i think you can argue it certainly features in improving the reward of reaching a summit.

[stark wasp]

Thats awesome

[remote latch]

humans at first .. but they said later on there may be elves

[pearl ore]

Spring is nice because I don't have allergies, so I'm one of the few people out enjoying things

[static mango]

Elves best race B)

[severe gorge]

golem best race in palia

[warm plover]

dont let mr rogers hear you say that

[stark wasp]

Thats quite nice.. if any of the devs are dnd geek.. hope they add tabaxi

[warm plover]

also i think the word used is Culture, not race

[remote latch]

Isnt race .. looks and culture actions ?

[severe gorge]

^

[warm plover]

im assuming thats cause someone can be biologically, like, an elf, but they were raised by grimalkin or something, so they're considered grimalkin maybe?

I dunno I'm just saying the Palia devs don't use the word race afaik

[faint dawn]

Making sure "your group"
Me: are people going to be assigned off the bat? To each server...

Imagine if you got stuck with a rival in chat....

[stark wasp]

Who want to make a new race with me? 😆

Just kiddin'

[severe gorge]

since we dont have our collective hands, paws, tentacles in palia, its safe to assume race as it is the general term thrown around in most MMOs

[static mango]

It would be difficult to include more races as the story is about Humans

[severe gorge]

elves being raised by grimalkins is too deep in the conversation when all were talking about is base appearance

[remote latch]

I think their matchmaking system learns who you play with and uses that information over time to ensure you get to play together more often .. the more help you give the algorithm the quicker I would suppose

[stark wasp]

Oww.. is it?

[gritty veldt]

we don’t actually know what the story is about,,, we know that humans disappeared and then came back but it could be much larger than that

[severe gorge]

i really wanted to be something other than a human in palia

[static mango]

yeah Humans just appeared out of nowhere while being gone for 3000 years and that's what lore is going to be about

[stark wasp]

Owww... So this world we are going to play in is a future earth?

[static mango]

Yeah same 😔

[brittle lance]

It may come

[warm plover]

the world is called Palia, not Earth

[severe gorge]

im guessing post-apocalyptic

[faint dawn]

I have a few people id enjoy playing with being silly/troublemaking whatnott..... but i noticed theres a group of focused testers.. i enjoy to test with...

[stark wasp]

So is there bound to be a ancient relics of our buildings and inventions then..

[warm plover]

it might be a completely different planet

[gritty veldt]

idk, pretty sure it’s a fictional world tho

yeah it is lol what am i saying

[void imp]

i'll use that

[severe gorge]

i think sora meant earth-like as opposed to earth the planet

[stark wasp]

Hahahah ill just wait for the lore to come out.. or if I have to find it myself that's more enjoyable

[remote latch]

Yes that is the main story .. but there are other races already in existence that they could slowly introduce as player options as the game expands and the human story is not the main story anymore. My theory anyway

[severe gorge]

race changes? i wanna be a golem 👀

[faint dawn]

Also, best of luck to all of you these next few days...

[wintry atlas]

The trailer didn't contain any obvious resemblance to current Earth like locations. I would assume it's only connection is the use of Human terminology but not part of Earth, if that makes sense.

[stark wasp]

I wanna be a cat-like humanoid in the future..

[severe gorge]

i wish yall luck, not to myself. i aint getting into pre-alfa

[brisk ivy]

It's a magical world with ruined contraptions. Probably not earth.

[stark wasp]

Yeah.. thats why I said world instead of earth

[warm plover]

grimalkin moment

[stark wasp]

Who call dibbs on the highest peak record?

[gentle birch]

Palia sounds like the name of the next super continent

[severe gorge]

it looks earth-like, not like a fallout earth

i get you sora, everyone is nitpicking details

[wintry atlas]

My b i thought you said future earth above, must be mistaken.

[stark wasp]

Yeah like pangea? Or terra i think is the name of Earth's land befote

[cedar fractal]

I wonder if it is a flat world or an oblate spheroid like Earth

[warm plover]

they did say future earth though...

[severe gorge]

sora meant something like a calamity happening and then palia is like a future earth where everything is different, keyword LIKE a future earth

[stark wasp]

Or a square?

[cedar fractal]

Squares are flat 🙂

[gritty veldt]

i was just taking what they said literally ,,,,, and then moved on lol

[stark wasp]

Im thinking of a linear flat..

[magic lance]

So something like the shannara chronicles then.

[pearl ore]

Cube earth?

[severe gorge]

i dont take what people mean literally, text can only go so far and not everyone here has english as their first language. better to interpret what they mean instead of taking it at face value

[remote latch]

I think its just a fantasy world where humans once lived. Maybe with the races currently living there or maybe before they 'arrived'. Or, maybe the humans were visitors to this land from a far off place and they arrived in a vehicle previously unknown to the population and when the humans died out their 'tchnology' disappeared ... just a theory

[gritty veldt]

is palia going to be flat ??? it would be cool if once they release all the content they actually made it like,,,, röünd and we could have trips around the world

[stark wasp]

So.. uhh does the devs ever say about being allowed to terraform?

[wintry atlas]

I disagree - that is the point of language. I agree English isn't their first language but we don't know each other well enough. It is better not to nitpick others for clarifying Sora's or anyone's original point. Sora didn't say "Like" originally, but nor was i jumping down Sora's throat on it, just offering my opinion.

[severe gorge]

i think they said it'll have multiplayer aspects like minecraft

[remote latch]

I've not heard mention of that side of things .. we can break stone and farm .. but not seen mention of anything more

[static mango]

Housing is instance based

[magic lance]

or that humans did not disappeared just evolved into the current races

[stark wasp]

I already knew that.. thanks tho

[severe gorge]

[stark wasp]

Aww.. okay

[stark wasp]

Sorry.. cant understand..

[gritty veldt]

ok so we have different interpretations and different ways of interpreting. theres nothing wrong with that. tbh what matters to me is listening if people want to clarify what they mean,, which is what i did. and then we moved on bc it was a dumb thing to discuss so we should move on too lol

[rose cedar]

seen in the pinnned faq somewhere no terraforming

[stark wasp]

Okay im guessing the lore is that us humans forgot everything and some unknown force teleported us to a earth-like planet..

[remote latch]

yep .. was looking for it .. 'There's no terraforming but the customization options for your plot will get very interesting'

[gritty veldt]

looking forward to building my hut

[severe gorge]

sorry if it sounded that way, but it looked like everyone was against sora's guess that palia is akin to a future earth, which they are partially correct since its a future palia. just needed to think deeper about what he meant, instead of replying that palia isnt earth at all, which it isnt ofc

[stark wasp]

Oww.. so the devs will put caves to mine in then instead of like minecraft

[blissful dagger]

if we get housing anywhere near what was in Wildstar I will be very happy

[remote latch]

not sure .. we have only seen rocks being broken down so hard to say if they include caves to utilise as a mining source

[wintry atlas]

You don't need to apologise, i don't mind - i was wrong to sarcastically reply the way i did originally anyway.

[static mango]

You won't be able to walk past anyone's house, you have to be invited to their plot, so the actual houses won't be out in the world

[stark wasp]

Guys.. move on from this topic lol..

[severe gorge]

it was dumb to be fair, everyone shouldve just said, its a future palia instead of just saying NOT EARTH, HUR DUR

[stark wasp]

Ow probably you can walk to their land but cant touch or do anything in it.. because if you cant pass to their land that will be an obstacle and very troublesome

[static mango]

What I meant by that is that you won't be able to see it

[severe gorge]

its like instanced housing

[static mango]

He doesn't understand what that means

[severe gorge]

oof

[stark wasp]

Oww.. so players can build on the same land without the world being so tight and chaotic

[remote latch]

Imagine walking down a road with houses alongside .. except in this game you won't see the houses .. but you can walk down the road.

[rose cedar]

it will be in a personal zone, just no loading times

[stark wasp]

I forgot this game will have neighborhood system

[severe gorge]

imagine club penguin igloos, if youve ever played club penguin

[vagrant coral]

Based on the trailer, it looks like we will all have the same plot of land, so other people's houses will just be where your house is and can't be in the way.

[stark wasp]

I didnt.. sadly

[rose cedar]

neighborhood is just another name for guild or clan, it is not a place

[severe gorge]

riip

[stark wasp]

Okay got it.. thank you

[gritty veldt]

all i said was that it’s a fictional world not earth, and i definitely didn’t say it like that ): and i wasn’t “against” sora either i was just responding to their reply to something i said

[remote latch]

The question is whether there will be multiple plots of land we can build on .. as they only mention 'the villagers' as if there is only one village .. meaning what on earth is on the rest of the landscape 🙂

[severe gorge]

im dreaming that neighborhoods are places that players set by exploring and finding good spots to make villages

probably wont be like that
