Together we will rule the oven, we shall build a cookie monopoly, one chocolate chip to rule them all! Bwahahahahahhaa!
The Baker Bunch grows!
I'll join the baker bunch
Hello, I would like to contribute my family-recipe molasses cookies, that I am told are too good to be legal.
ill join you people as long as i keep the fries monopoly! 😄
Good morning 👋
I’d like to bake the profiterole 🤓
Fun fact, until the 50's, women were much more noted for having deeper, more 'sultry' voices, but with the ultra-feminine focus of the 50's having a higher, almost child like voice became vogue, and now it is so ingrained in american society that nobody even realizes it.
Happy timezone everyone ❤️
I have a recipe from a friend's great-great-great-grandmother
Happy timezone!
I will not be a baker but I will need to purchase bread for buns to run my 🅱️orger restaurant chain.
slaps her hand bad Sarah, off topic food channel, I'm sorry
Hmmmm, do you think they would appreciate actual recipes there? Because I keep my favorites on Google Docs
I have no doubt they would
Absolutely! 
I will feed you all in Palia and IRL
I think there are enough cooks here to make a real-life Palia cookbook
Honestly I thought it was kinda rp baking thoughts for palia 🤓
Has anyone ever added a layer of sprinkles to cackling brownies? My daughter did and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be
ohmygosh, please let's put together a community cookbook!
we quickly devolve into real cooking recipes, though, which rightfully belong there, too
Might have been my fault. I led you into peanut butter temptation. I do look forward to seeing how the cooking and baking systems work in Palia though. Can we have a plate of melty cookies eternally gracing our front windows? Can I put a salad on my bedside table just in case? The mysteries dazzle the senses.
A salad center piece!
Would be cool for some Cooking focused Neighbourhood to create Palia recipes inspired from in-game things. Ya know like, Chuus = pork, winterberries = blueberries or something like that. Roleplay stuff.
Why not both! Some of us who must max out the cooking tree in every game we play also love cooking IRL!
Chapaa are friends, not food 🥺
Those of you blessed with the arts of IRL cooking. It could be awesome if you could make IRL recipes for in-game foods 😄
Cake must be in the center must not nom
I agree, I just couldn't be bothered curating my point lol.
Make like a palia cookbook with irl recipes just translated to the palia items
If we wish to discuss food, we could slowly try to transition our current non related topic into something more palia related such as Palia foods the ones we hope to see in it, or any features we hope the cooking process to have or how we would like eating food to effect us if at all.
Exactly!
Would be like a community item
Palia fish sticks
Well we have to have jams and jellies
don't worry, we'll talk the devs into doing a palia recipe book, but first we must test all the palia recipes ingame! Over and over and over again.
Can’t forget a chuulupa
That's awesome

I wonder how we will help the Chapaas.
You know someone's going to make a Chapaa out of ground beef and show us the horrific before and after shots.
I hope we can make hot chocolate in game. 
I am assuming there will be dishes from the simple to the complex, using all the things you can hunt, fish, and grow. Hopefully not too many things you have to buy. Especially if/when we get things like animal husbandry for eggs and honey
feel like that is more of a rabbit recipe
Yes, I second this
With marshmallows too hopefully
We do know there is a hot beverage in the game, its in the trailer
No one can help the chapaa because I am rescuing ALL of them and putting them in my sanctuary 
Oh you mean Burger Sculpting
The mini ones. 
Einar cookie
Someone always does this though, usually with the terrifying green olives for eyes choice.
Gonna be known as the chapaa herder
Helping = Rescuing?
take the chapaas leave the chuus
I misunderstood my bad I thought you meant they would try to make a Chuu recipe, which is why I was thinking maybe something more like rabbit
I am already plotting a chocolate chip einar emote cookie, similar to my giant wookiee cookiee pan cookie
Sooo many cookies! 
Oh, nah! I meant sculpting meat/cake to look like various things. I bet you could make a bread roll Chapaa pretty decently though, like those cute rabbit buns I've seen around.
He's got the colour pallet
Food art is glorious, I can see someone making a little ginger bread Palia village.
going to put a picture in the food channel
We are all forgetting about the most versatile and best food... pizza
(Just posted the best molasses spice cookie recipe you ever put in your face in #🍜│food-and-noms by the way)
I will help them by rescuing them!
Will have to give it a try ❤️
If our weather cooperates I am totally going to make those tomorrow 🤓
Let me know how they turn out!
You live in florida? Because I do and a hurricane is coming towards us
Nope, good luck though 😱
It's going to rain all weekend going into next week
I was kinda thinking the same
I work in the armpit of the panhandle
hello? i alr submit the pre-alpha and the survey, all i need is waiting?
Did you do the second survey in #📢│palia-news
Yeah, it's in small waves. Only 200 have gone out, more will go out in the coming weeks.
We're all hoping to get in eventually 
i do it now, i just join the discord yesterday and didn't notice.
thanks buddy
This retired lady needs something to do. Crossing my fingers lol
All good just make sure to get that survey done because you need to do it to get entered in the next wave of invites
In the meantime... Cookies! 😄
Well, welcome! There's more information in #❔│game-faqs and in pinned messages.
I did that on my mobile. Will it change anything?
You know it! 😎
it shouldn't, as long as you answered the questions and gave your discord as it asked you should be good
My pc acc. Is @steel orchid
Just do what @lunar tundra said and look at the #❔│game-faqs and pinned messages to get started in the discord ❤️
I would love to start seeing peoples' favorite recipes in the food channel while we wait!
I can send a link to mine
Just make sure to check whichever discord account you used in the survey for the tester role when waves go out. 
I quite like cooking, I may try do some fun things inspired by Palia trailer/pics or something for a giggle
I am not too proud to admit I own the World of Warcraft cookbook. If Palia dishes can be recreated too, I might give it a go!
Dont quite remember which one i used 🙃
Lol, just make sure to check both then.
A bowl of Einar-themed stone soup next to an arranged pyramid of pebbles and a straw hat.
hi
Pebble stew!
Welcome friend ^^
I want to hear from the testers. How many were able to actually play and were there any game breaking bugs and for what systems like Nvidia or that other one whose name escapes me but I should know bc 2 of the 3 PCs in my house run it lol
Go check it out I posted the recipe in #🍜│food-and-noms
There is an NDA ( non disclosure agreement) so they may not be able to say.
I will proudly admit I own WoW but I am sad to say I own Rust. I haven't played it in 3 years though
Testers will not be able to talk to people about anything that happens during testing, but per Nel, testing has not begun yet. If you're concerned about your ability to run Palia, devs said early on that it should be fine to run on potato-level rigs.
I haven't seen many DNA so I thought they could mention huge bugs here. At least here
I haven't seen any DNA either
Nvidia is dominating the market atm as a kinda standard, but there are still just two GPU makers at all, so it's not like just having one brand will be an issue, for pretty much anything ever. One question that's been asked for fans in the past is whether we have 8GB ram or over iirc, that's literally all I can say
I could do 8GB ram but barely
Eh?
Heylo!
hello guys
I know a little about pc hardware for standard and laptops
The NDAs here will prevent us from streaming, sharing screenshots, or discussing any content from our test. We do hope that people respect this and are understanding. 🙂
Thanks for clarification. Certainly.
Good to see you all, and it's a better day to see you! Here's hoping to a wonderful time!
Great to see you here as well ❤️
Thank you kindly!
Not that we've seen it running, but the style doesn't look hard to run. It's on Unreal Engine 4 if that means anything.
I'm off to browse discord. I lack a great deal of knowledge on the game in my week absence.
Lol, ok take care
I recommend reading through this chat, a lot of information is shared here
Or the #game-suggestions
Ty
Np ❤️
Definitely check out the pinned faq in this channel! Lots of info in there.
emote real
I love it.
Happy timezone!
:)

Did you sleep well Rin
idk im still sleepy but i should be ok
I have energy drinks in refrigerator you can take one ☺️
I'd take one, but I'm sure others need them more.
Oooh can I have one?
Yah sure 😄
thank you milky
Hope you've got enough for everyone!
Yea thank you milky
I'll give up my extra one and someone else can have it 🥺 I'll go get more!
I don't remember very much but I think I had a dream where my hair was bad :(
Plenty for everyone!
hope everyone is having a good day ^^ and those that got in enjoy the game
Energy drinks scare me, so somebody can have the one Milky kept for me
Yay!
energy drinks go fizzzzzzz
energy drink drinker goes twitch
Fizzz, Spsh, and Chknk.
Let's keep the conversation on this channel Palia related. For other topics, you can use the #off-topic channel. Thank you 
Sorry tortle 😦
What if palia had an energy system
Righty-oh!
it doesn't, thank goodness
nooooo
but stardew valley taught us how to manage that
It has been said the devs tried a Stamina system, hated it, and yote it from the game.
I was thinking annoying facebook type energy, but stardew energy thinking wise, it would give food a use 
Oh, interesting @clear wraith
sdv made me want to minmax my energy
im trying to force myself to not worry about it
i dont wanna deal with that in palia
True, me either. I was just trying to be a smart aleck and connect energy drinks in somehow 
Palia Pop!
I'm sure food will have a use, most likely buffs to things like hunting and fishing, etc.
Maybe energy drinks could make you faster in game? A little speed buff.
I think I remember they said that the better the cook, the better the result
gratz to all who got an invite
i wonder if energy drinks would even exist?
even though its thousands of years in the future and we can see the remains of some advanced machines (as well as golems), the overall technology level seems fairly low?
Hi Rin~
magic potions, Rin
have fun when the testing starts, otter
yea, what if people never developed technology, but rather just honed magic
lighting was shown to be candles
Thanks, should be interesting
Nobody liked the stamina system in BDO, nobody will like it here.
there's a stamina system?
No
No
no there is not, as far as I know
what stamina system? lol
Was mentioned a couple posts up that it got scrapped
Yeah coffee and tea would make more sense then.
tea mmmm
We do know there are potions, though!
though tea was from asia, and coffee from south america
My personal theory is that the incident that caused humanity to vanish also caused technology to regress
Perhaps humans were the leading technological race on Palia, and their knowledge was lost with them? Golems and such were also created by humans, perhaps. The incident that caused humanity to vanish could have been a mishap with a machine (the classic icarus flying too close to the sun)
wouldn't be a cat cafe w/o coffee
Some form of memory wipe is involved then?
lemme know if you enjoy it (but nothing that breaks nda)
Cat cafe, with all the cats snuggles
You could have dogs running cat software.
i was thinking that humans were the only people who knew how to build the things for one reason or another, and even though people tried to recover the technology, they couldnt figure out how it works
Or people started relying on magic so much that they forgot about technology.
Yeah considering we are coming back after a while, it could be that the people who knew how to make/operate it are long gone and the information was forgotten
You just described the plot for the game "My Time at Portia".
some say that magic is just technology we haven't honed yet
i havent gotten that far in portia yet dhshdhiwdjsjsjzj im glad i managed to guess it somehow (for a different game)
It's not a spoiler. It's something that pops up in a loading screen or something.
ooh
Guys the tortle is watching 👀 🐢
it was still palia adjacent 😔 (since it was about my extremely cool theory)
I'm not entirely convinced that it's not a Green Tapaa.
So we get gliders, but wouldn't it be fun to have gliders that are backpacks that look like wings
Green Tapaa 😏
Tortle is the fastest redirect in the west!
backpack gliders...
(Love ya tho)
Yes! That would be super cute, and I could pretend to be a dragon!
what do you mean pretend
I want a giant sugar glider as a ... glider.
Yess, I just wanna be cute
i wanna be a cat
I wanna be a bird and please don't eat me
@cinder temple I don't think they're aware what a green tapaa is 😁
your goal is achieved
I will protec you, don't worry.
its ok im a friendly cat 🐈
Oh, well let me fix that.
#🎨│old-palia-fan-art message
that is so great xD
Still gets into the garbage - but always the correct garbage for the topic at hand.
Oh wow, I didn't expect that lmao
Birds are my one silly small and pointless ask. Great story? Fun minigames? Positive feels? All important. But please also let me run around with a bird on my head.
i think there were some birds in the trailer
but they had some ps2 level animations (not that i blame the animators, since theyre a pretty small detail)
I hope there are occasional community games like the events Maplestory 2 had. That would be fun ☺️
Turtle reminds me of terrapin, which is also a great beer.
A chickadee is one of the first things you hear in the intro trailer!
you can recognise bird calls?
Some of them. I keep a backyard feeder and have many feathery guests!
Wow!
CUTE!
I had a pair of chickadees over last winter. Fun fact, the number of "dees" in their "chickadeedeeddee" call is indicative of how threatening the thing they're calling about is.
Same here, love my chickens ❤️
My dogs earned about 5 "dees" when I let them out. A chickadee-eating hawk will earn up to 20.
Good look everyone with the alpha, I hope you are enyoing it!
We haven't started yet 🙂
Here's hoping we get poultry in Palia!
Oh, when?

You just got the access? haha
We'll have more info soon. Yeah, what Otter said.
I want a green tapaa 
Ooh interesting, sorry I'm like a headless chicken, always forget everything
It's all good ☺️
I'm so exited to play this game haha
For sure, I really am too. :3
Saaaame, I hope they go through the testing stages fast lol
We gotta do good jobs then 👀
You think you do, but the shell makes them harder to chase out of the tomatoes with a broom.
i'm honestly more excited to just keep hanging with the community, y'all are great
Yeah, that's my stance as well. The game seems like it'll be fun, but I'm more excited to use it as a platform for spending time with friends ☺️
Nou
the thing im most interested in is whether the prealpha testers think it lives up to expectations
...would a yes or no to that be breaking nda?
I agree, I like this community!
I don't think they have started testing yet
Oh, i know
NO CHASE, only hug!
im saying id be interested to hear their opinions on it when they do start
well, the thing with pre-alphas is that you shouldn't really expect much
No, but it wouldn't really satisfy nontesters because they'd have nothing to compare that opinion to and any clarification would tread into NDA territory. Like shutting a movie off at The Good Part™️.
Ah yea I don't think they can say anything
Yeah, we can say if we like or dislike it. But not really any specifics
But a yes or no shouldn't be too bad
i think theyre allowed to give vague opinions (like "yeah i enjoyed it" and such)
Ok well that's good to hear
i think that's part of the reason why there is an NDA 😅
aiyo im not asking for specifics
It could just lead to people who would ask for them and invite chaos, is what I mean.
fair
I intend to keep all good/bad opinions limited to the other alpha testers and the devs. My job is to poke at things and provide feedback, and if there's something I think is less than amazing, rather than griping in public I need to be telling the devs about it so it can be perfected before launch. So that y'all get nothing but the best.
We already have Nel to contend with, so the server should stay plenty chaotic without our help. 👍
Sounds good to me
nel is definitely chaotic good right
i true servant of the community
This is kind of off-topic, I'm web developer and I would like to re-design my portfolio with the aesthetic of this game
looks so fluffy an relaxing haha
for sure
Nel is the definition of DND at its finest
Alright well I think Ima sign off for the night, it's getting late here. Night ❤️
Chaotic good is best chaotic and best good
night night, sleep tight
I like Chaotic Neutral

Good to see Discord becoming more and more like Facebook every day. 🙄
I think it's cute...
I dont have facebook 😼
ur cute
yea, i like stickers. just big emojis, very nice
Hello Palians. 😄 Happy Friday!
Hello!!
Hey Aki ^^
incorrect but thank u

No she right
hi 😄
D:<
Hey friend ☺️
it's the embodiment of education
and suffering
mostly suffering
true
Speaking of suffering, when's the next wave of invites? 😛

hi mostly suffering, i'm @celest maple I hope you're doing well!
Word. I've had this interesting desire to craft clothing/armor sets for people and be able to customize them to their liking. Color palettes/hues, etc.
🤔
OOooo i LOVE that idea

probably one of the first profession-type dealies i'd love to see someone doing. 'cause i'm not creative in that way and could use the help!
I wouldn't be able to just do it, of course. I'd have to procure inks & dyes and the prerequisites to craft & apply them. Same would go for the pieces themselves. I am a crafter at heart and a people-pleaser so it's a win-win.
I am working on a better quality version btw, i can upscale it without problems bc i use vectors, but i'm struggling with the size
I hope i can figure this out
Maaan,that would be so good, i love this kind of stuff too. Hope your taking on an assistant if this becomes a thing
Hit me up. Something that's bothered me for many years is the complete lack of importance for crafted armor/weapons. They are always fillers so I'd like to see the value of someone crafting something rare/unique (not necessarily legendary). @north valve Heh heh. We'll have to see once I get into a test stage and how crafting is going to play. There will clearly be ways to get furniture & goods for the housing but initial glances at an avatar are not the house but the avatar itself. First impressions and all that.
It even could be as simple as the value being the customized craftwork and not so much becoming OP.
always nice to support your local crafters
"I hit like pillows but they are made from goose feathers and silk crafted from purified angel's wings. Feel."
Versus "Hey, I automatically crafted a few thousand of these cookie cutter items this week. Want one?"
I wonder if player-submitted customization of decorations and items might be a thing. ie: A sword with a pre-determined shape, but you'd have the ability to place your own designs on it through whatever art program the game permits. Some games do this for clothes and such, but with weapons you'd literally be crafting the item, at least in part.
it probably counts as op anyway since fashion is the true endgame of all mmos, as we all know
i'd love to see it too
That could add another layer, one for others to do. Unless I suddenly develop a passion for digital creation I'd see myself taking on their graphics/customizations but applying the in-game prowess that may or may not require obsessive amounts of farming materials to do. 🙂
I do love farming materials. I like to be part of communities where I can farm materials while socializing, and provide them to the crafters etc within the community. particularly fond of mining and smithing ingots for a blacksmith to do their thing
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH. When I initially got into FFXIV it was primarily for crafting and learning their systems. I stopped playing and most of my experience has been in World of Warcraft. Mastering the economy and whatnot eventually got boring because my server over time became so low population that it stifled my desire to play. One of my primary professions was Blacksmithing, though - I had many rare recipes from Classic.
I love fishing, too.
You could make a profession guild for gathering ore called "Mostly Miners." 😛
Can't wait to try out this game hope it has a great future ahead!
They have a chance to really enhance crafting as in every craftable item comes from resources gathered in-game. Bees drop honey or an apiary makes honey and a sideproduct could be wax for candles or or or or
bonus points if everyone in the guild is below the drinking age for their country
With one of the ranks "Child Labor Law Specialist."
👋
with a dev team that is this open and actively gathering such granular feedback so far out from launch.. I'm really confident Palia is gonna absolutely melt faces. In like.. a totally PG and happy sense, of course! hehe not Ark of the Covenant style but more like shredding a really wicked riff
thats the rank for everyone above the age of majority
Americans be there longest
Is the team already sending alpha invites ? 😮 Great!
love that! my guild was called Blackrock Mining League
Hi everyone. Sorry if I'm doing a silly question but, is the alpha ON right now ? is there any date for the first versions of the game?
Nope we aren't testing quite yet 😅
The firat wave been sent out. We have not started... second wave.. 
o.o


Wait, they actually uploaded the blob einar, it was the first emote i made, now this is a big surprise

When einar looks like a pebble himself
They removed the NDA emote




Oh yeah i am blind
These developers, or Singularity 6, whomever, have an incredible opportunity here to make something with push-pull from their community. I loved reading the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and that type of engagement is sorely needed in the MMO space.

AND LET ME CRAFT ALL-THE-THINGS™ please.

Is the pre-alpha test for all regions or just NA to start?

I remember i thought the blob got rejected bc it used the beta art style, so i made
for contrast
As far as I know it's NA only for now because the NDA probably only applies to American citizens
(there are at least two people from south america)
Aah.. makes sense though 🙂 thanks for answering
Ok maybe not then haha 
ohh so there is hope
More to do with localization I'd say, considering this is in their FAQ and Q&A that they want all things in English as they cannot support other languages (yet). The localization is precisely that - the game translated into other languages. Also from their ask-the-team FAQ:
"I can't speak exactly to where you are, but expanding servers across the globe should eventually happen as we expand localization support. As long as everything goes well."
yes, also just bc the majority of testers are NA now that doesnt mean theyll be expanding their search later :3
NDA usually applies in any jurisdiction if it does not violate the laws of that country/state
but im assuming all the testers are on the same server? so theres no point in having multiple at the moment
RE servers: "You won't have to choose a server before you're allowed to make a character or anything, we'll let you go to where your friends are. But play between regions may have some restrictions so we can keep our network performance up."
idk maybe, they might have multiple in the future but honestly i feel like its still too early to make a call about how the testing is gonna go
They cannot scale until they have the data so it will likely be one server or "instance", however they are chunking things, and then the next wave comes when they can expand until eventually that one "thing" breaks.
ok sure! idk enough about how servers or testing works to respond to that lol
In a previous incarnation I was in IT. I understand at a higher level but imagine they are trying to get a certain amount of people into a house but before you can do that you need to make a door big enough to fit a certain amount of people in a certain amount of time. Then they'll make the house bigger and figure out how much bigger the door needs to be and how often it will open/shut.
And once that house is perfected, they'll add another house.
makes sense
And once THAT house is perfected, they'll add one in Asia and the South Americas. 😛
@celest maple FAQ: "Infinite/Regrowable/Lumberyards/quarries etc? Yes to all of those, actually, hahahaha"
see you all tomorrow guys! have a good timezone! 😄 💤
nn
see ya!
Are we exited!!
mostly entered
I feel I have a chance to be a part of creating something awesome. As I'm kinesthetic I need to be in it to understand it so we'll see how long-term this game holds up but I feel optimistic.
Rin we are gonna go fishing right 🥺
Uhm.. i cant go fishing with you yet cause im not part of the prealpha milky 😔 wait for me (even if its waiting till release)
I'll wait for you my friend ❤️
Congrats to the team for raising 30 million
This line from the Q&A:
"We don't have specific min spec out yet but so far we're running the game on some pretty garbage PCs."
HA HA HA HA
toasters
They have electrodes in a potato in a toaster - "27 FPS, not bad."
Don't mention that name 😰
oh sorry milky
whenever i see someone say HA HA HA HA i think of that one scene from ffx
I am teasing don't worry ☺️ I want kites in Palia
I want to craft you a kite.

Do it you won't 👀
If I can. Give me hex codes for the color palette and we're off. 😄

What are you scared of?! We are friendly here 🥺
spooky
What if we are the kites? We have gliders.
sometimes
I haven't been this excited for a game since ratchet and clank first came out. Kites adds to this, that would be such a neat activity in a game like this
Good night everyone! See you all tomorrow
@lunar tundra lurk much
I'm in trouble - I made a folder for Palia in my browser to collect URLs/information. 😄
Lol all the time
good night night, sleep tight
nn
Kites/balloon are pretty fun in GW2, but they're mostly banned in WvW. 
Also I noticed that you could decorate the house/structure with plates and bowls. Sounds like an excellent opportunity for in game Jenga lol!
Which ratchet & clank? The very first one?
Yes@ionic portal
I love that one.
Played the original trilogy so many times.
Also the other games that came out for PS2
What will be the first thing you do? What are you most excited about?
Excited for fishing, baking, and collecting every wearable I possibly can!
Honestly stacking as many plates/bowls as possible once crafting/buying them in game is available to me@hearty spear
LOOOOOOL
I want to craft wearables and hopefully customize them to suit. Mmmmmm, color palette.
Oooo that would be neat
age: child
I love this so much xD
age: please don't make sexual comments lol
In enough time I'd end up being one of those guys that could craft almost anything.
He looks about 10-13
I wish I had gotten to experience Sims online, if only for the experience. Now there's an MMO life sim in development, so even better!
exactly, I love it for that lmao
Although I look forward to the farming aspect as well, I've found that really relaxing in Stardew
Maybe elves have longer life spans and he's actually like 50 but still considered a child
I think Child, Young Adult, Adult and Elder are all the age ranges we'll get
yeah 1 human year is elfs 10 years
No angsty teenager age? Bummer lol
I wonder if we will have access to age options when we build our characters (I want to be a curmudgeonly old farmer)
hm. im not sure if Young Adult includes teenager tbh
could be Young Adult or Child or maybe theres another range for it...
What if they live by cat years?
🐈
Or Ancient as a way older elder would be fun too
The grimalkins probably do haha
Woot I can't wait to see more of Palia I just now noticed there was a discord 👀
Welcome. Join. Discuss. Become a part of something hopefully magical.
welcome 👋
Welcomee
Good thing cats have 9 lives. Cat years must be fast, so multiplied by 9 is decent.
I wonder which life I'm on?
9th
Hi, Doom guy.
M
Anytime I think of cats having 9lives it just reminds me off the days reading Warriors speaking of which I wonder what style of books will be in this game, imagine they had a journal where you could right a day to day experience of what you did in game.
Back to work for me!
rip and tear until it is done
isn't it funny how we all live in the past no matter what age?
I am stuck here listening to 90s music like it was so good
I looooved Warriors
umm
wat
Netflix is making me nostalgic all the time, I hate them, they know exactly what millenials want
what are you watching?
Whilst technically a millennial I do not watch Netflix.
ello Palians - any gossip today?
I like how my reply was deleted but the OG comment is still up 😂
how do you not watch Netflix?
By never turning it on.
I mean....if you are a true millenial, you don't pay for it kek
Disney+ was surprisingly good
Disney+ has lots of good content, Loki has been a pretty good show so far plus all the others
What's good Palia gang
I mean, with how much disney owns that's not very surprising heh
Hanging out!
I haven't watched wanda or loki, I haven't heard enough good things to try them
Good morning!
Just started on Loki last night but didnt watch much
Good morning friend ☺️
Mandolorian is good
As much as I'd love to chat more I feel the sleep approaching so have a goodnight all!
Goodnight gamer
Yeah!
Ye one of my favorite shows right now
Marvel kinda lost me....
Never been a huge SW fan but that show was really good
Sleep well! ☺️
I am dare I say it...over the comic book shows
Guys, did the developers say anything about creating regional chats?
yeah I am not like...hardcore SW by any means
I haven't been here for two weeks((
They will at a later point be adding channels for other languages but not for specific regions as far as I know
lol, sorry I am way off topic
English only for now
thank you very much for your reply
it is in faq. Not yet at least.
Sure thing broski 🤙
The tortle is watching 👀 🐢
Ohnooo
a reptile
I like turtles
How is everyone doing tonight?
They're just a mod that lurks and tells us to stop talking about things that are not Palia but they do a good job of keeping us on topic for Palia centric discussion :D
Most excellent... your... Excellency?
yeah, um....Palia....uh, from what I saw looks awesome 😄
Just woke up
Awesome, just finished something for the chaapa challenge
Heyyy kweeen 👑
Goodmorning palia chat 😄
Talk about Palia OR ELSE 🔫 🤣
Fun!
Mercy, I am just a sweet little goat 🥺
um....uh....farming....uh....NPCs....uh.....ART!
I only heard of Palia maybe an hour ago and I am incredibly hyped lol
Morning Aki ☺️
Art in art chat pls
seriously, the art direction is great
Fax. Excited to see where they go with it
Oooh. Welcome! You should do both surveys so you have a chance at pre-alpha ☺️ If that's something you'd want
Alright so if you're new here what is one thing you are excited about for Palia?
Facts lots of talented drawers here
Theres 2 surveys? I only saw the one?
oh shit there are surveys?
The other is in discord, I will get the link fro you both 😄
Welcome to the community! Make sure to check out the #❔│game-faqs channel and the pinned faq in this channel for more information!
Yep, Brit got you. ☺️
Rewatched the trailer today for the second time ever and I forgot how good the graphics and art style were from the first time I watched it. So excited to play haha
I've been in this discord for so long without chatting, I am the worst
It's what I do
the art direction is what drew me to this game
Honestly, an MMO not entirely focused on destroying great evils and ascending great heights in power. An honest to God community Game that puts a focus on community aspects and goals
Making a difference in game development and eventually destroying their "conservative estimates" of mastering all crafting. Mwa ha ha.
as someone who is constantly looking for inspiration for MMO's as I want to maybe in a pipe dream make one myself someday, I love where Palia is going
HEELLLLLOOOOO world
Love that!!! I'm excited to decorate and help everyone 🥰
Hey, friend. ☺️
I think you should finish the Chapaa you started drawing. I very selfishly want to hold it up and smile at it. 
Heyyyyyy 🙂
Someone earlier mentioned getting a lot of dishware and stacking it as high as possible. I'd love to craft them the items. 😄
If you want to see more similar art, one of the game's artists has an artstation page you can check out!
https://www.artstation.com/thestoff
Nel told us 👀
checking
If I ever win the lottery the first thing I'll do is start up a games studio and fund the game of my dreams
You wanna laugh at my drawing
Are pre-alpha testers already forming neighborhoods of sorts?
I wanna love your drawing! I'll be compiling all the submissions together on Sunday.
@ionic portal how great would that be?
You think its funny i am the worse drawer eva
Kinda, yeah I know a couple have
its funny I have this whole concept I have been working on, but I am afraid it will only attract furries
I might go back to it after work but i am such a bad drawer its un real
Alot of people already had before the keys went out, but we aren't playing yet! But yes - QoL is mine for example
bonjour
there won't be any humans in my world
Oh okay. Does QoL stand for Quality of Life?
Yeah sorta forming cliques but nothing solid since we don't know specifics about how many players can be in each neighborhood
hello
It's all about the spirit of the thing. We've got everything from scribbles to full-body, fully-rendered art pieces and it's been amazing to see them come rolling in. I look forward to it if you do partake. <3
quality of life should never bee a thought process on launch of any new game ever
I wish i wasnt human
I'm putting together a community neighborhood! The Queendom of L'asëa (QoL) is going to be a helpful hand across the land. Once Palia has neighborhoods, I'm going to build L'asëa from the ground up and invite friendly players to help me do it. We'll have weekly events, organized adventures and parties, and offer to assist people all over Palia whether they're in our group or not. If you're someone who likes helping new players and building positive memories, consider moving into the Queendom where everyone feels like royalty.
the point of quality of life is not for new games, its to improve a game after the fact
Happy Timezone All
That's the little blurb we created together! 🥰
Oh this whole time when I've seen QoL I thought it stood for quality of life LOL
if you have quality of life options on release, then you put in things that require you to pay for quality of life
It is supposed to be a play in words 😂 so you're fine it was intentional
It's my neighbor acronym... Has nothing to do with the game itself.
Interested! Love how helpful people have been, and hope I can help out new people as the game ramps up!
oh I was just speaking on the current topic 😛
If I'm not mistaken, I think the QoL Brittany's guild refers to is the every day maintaining of a kind and helpful environment between players. Less a game feature and more a community aspect.
I would like to create a neighborhood that is solely focused on breaking the game as much as possible but I'm not sure how many people would be interested in it
The Anarchists 😆 ?
Exactly this 🥰
There's also ART which is for artists and art lovers
More like... The vigilantes as ideally we would find game breaks for them to be patched rather than to cause chaos 🤣
Ggggggooood mornin'
Good timezone!
I am referring to New World and its whole cash shop of 'quality of life' improvements....a game not even released yet is already coming up with quality of life ideas, its clear its a cash grab
I was picturing a group of players trying to clip their way into buildings 😂
Yeah thanks
Trust me, I'm going to be testing any and all types of movement against all walls in the game
I hate companies that look for how much cash they can grab rather than creating a great game that people just WANT to buy
I wanna start looking out for neighbourhoods right now, it would be so cool. i'm worried about the FAQ answer where they've said inter-region may not be possible though. i wanna rock it out with my international friends!
Inter-region is a maybe at this point in time? That's so sad
The devs aren't talking about monetization at all yet !
I think it was more a general point of misleading rather than the monetization model
oh Brittany, I am just on topic since QoL was brought up
Most of what I've seen from Palia so far implies that devs are also sick of the same old same old from previous game projects, so hopefully that means we'll be getting a game that satisfies decades-old pain points.
Quality of Life wasn't brought up with anything that has to do with the game ... ? It's the acronym for my game and that was the question asked? So I'm a bit lost... ?
well, I am intoxicated, so I could be just reading what I want to read LMAOOO
Yeah i believe you'll be to find people for that kind of thing. A lot of games i end up playing, endgame tends to get less attention (as people don't want to ruin it for themselves in testing). - Obviously not sure if endgame even applies to Palia, but there will presumably be a state where you have your house / story complete etc
That requires speaking other languages. As their team grows the support will be there I'm sure.
hmm, I did not see anything official on this
I don't like games that focus on endgame, if you can't keep my attention the whole time, I am very unlikely to keep playing
Even if I can't play with my bestie in France, just playing with other English speaking players in NA would be awesome (i'm in Oceania)
Oceania? So... in the middle of the Atlantic? 😮
Depends on the game - if you have a 10 hour game, from beginning to what would be defined as end - i do hate how the content leading up to the end often becomes irrelevant therafter.
But if you have a 10 hour game, but you want people to stay for 100, you need to focus on the 90 too
Is there anything besides them mentioning that cross region may have limitations?
Pacific! and sub tropical. though you wouldnt think it, cus it's cold as heck atm
Australia or New Zealand?
NZ
well I like the example of WoW vs FFXIV, WoW is all about hitting end game so you can experience the content, while FFXIV is about the story so you are able to enjoy the entire game b/c it all matters
I actually had a passenger today (I drive Uber) who has a friend in Australia that said it was raining and freezing.
I mean it is winter
Define cross-region. Do you mean people from different regions being on the same server?
Yeah the other hemisphere gets the opposite seasons than us
yup
sounds awesome
What would stop someone in Asia playing on a NA server in the first place?
I haven't played FFXIV so apologies - how does that game go about merging the Multiplayer aspect with the Story? Often, main stories in mmo's feel separated for me - I have the option to run my mission with other players; but they don't get the progress / they're on a different part / they aren't in my cutscenes etc.
Cross-regional gameplay would actually be beneficial for a game like this.
FFXIV story is really important to the whole game experience, everything you do in multiplayer is b/c of what happened in the story
nothing, hence my question to someone here who said inter-region is a maybe. I questioned the validity of that statement
You might be able to play cross-regionally but with more lag spikes
Well, their statement was:
"But play between regions may have some restrictions so we can keep our network performance up."
So basically it would be possible w/ restrictions.
But if you broke it down, would it be a case of the story is the beginning part of the game; and it unlocks everything you do thereafter?
So to go full circle - i like a polished story, but i also like a polished multiplayer too
FFXIV is one of those games that is designed where you could technically play it single player and then the MMO aspects are added afterward....think of it as an RPGMMO rather than an MMORPG
well, considering how much investment has gone into the game, it's safe to assume monetization is gonna be a prominent thing
Depends on the conditions of the investment - of which we are not privy to and never will be. But yes, you invest to make a return.
well, usually the whole point of investment is to get back more than you put in xd
I try not to make assumptions in general let alone about how other people decide to handle money 🤷🏻♀️ it's not up to us in any capacity
very fair
I actually have been watching a lot of NoPixel GTA RP and that has inspired me in how MMO's should be made, in that the content is created by the players, you just have to develop a world in which they can create, but it would mean the devs have to be constantly listening to what the player feedback is and what they need
Yes but this view also completely disrespects the business knowledge investors & developers have. If you milk a cash cow, you can never let it grow.
They have an opportunity to grow S6. Confidence and trust in a company is as relevant to gaming as it is any other consumer good, whether coca cola or apple.
the updates would need to be weekly
Excellent point. I watch koil's stream a lot but haven't had much insight into how they respond to feedback. The iterations of NoPixel demand more "content" for all of the streaming going on. I love the city finding out the intricacies of the lower vault. 🙂
watching nopixel RP inspired me to never watch nopixel RP
lol two totally different perspectives
i really do hope they can clarify in the near future. it's the only thing holding me back from diving into the early neighbourhood forming stuff atm. i have hopes i'll be able to play with everyone, but assurance would be just well.. really reassuring! =D

Hopefully you can play without clipping through things due to lag. Their network engineers would have some feedback for ya. You'd be a great candidate for needing testing on latency. 😄
Australian internet suuuucks so other servers won't be much of an option
Just move 4head
I am having a hard time deciding whether I want to make my own neighborhood, join a small one with friends, or just drown myself in a large one tbh
I guess it depends on how neighborhoods work as a whole
We've got a lot of time before we need to decide at least - Might even help to wait for some game details before we commit!
I'm wont to get into alpha/beta testing, play the game and then decide how I feel/want to pursue goals.
hey I used to play WoW on 600-700ms back on dial-up before Oceanic servers! and i absolutely (Dwarf voice) kept mah feet on the ground!
I’m going to make a neighborhood with my current guild 
That's fun!
I just puked. I also said that Dwarf voice exactly how it sounded. Oof.
Here's my defining quote: "Time is money, friend!"
personally I think the more RP content you can add to your game, the longer it will last
can't wait to hear what quotes Palia will make famous
I know there are a large amount of testers interested in fishing so maybe we just make a fishing neighborhood and call it a day. It's always a good day when I'm fishing 🎣
Einar: distressed baritone beeping
Tortle is watching 🐢 👀
What jobs or career would guys like to see in Palia? 🤔
you have to think of how content creators are in the YT and Twitch world, if you don't give them content that can persist, the game just won't last
Can I be a Queen 🥺
"Crafter of Everything™"
Fishing
Animal taming!
Merchant
I will be the Master angler.
fishing, farming, cooking
Smithie!
🅱️orger shop owner
Only sheep work for you @patent adder 😏
Kissing booth 😳
I do love me some fishing. As a matter of fact, my name is derived from being the 1st person on Darkspear to have the legendary fishing artifact (which was an amazing fishing pole in Legion for WoW). 😄
unemployed
I think if you create a world where you can work your way up to being the owner of a shop is ideal
I would want to do something related to decorating or housing
Pest Control.
What does this mean 🥺 You are bullying me. It's a goat.
Chapaaaa control 😆
Milky the goat
I've chased you off my property like 12 times and I have no idea how you keep getting back in.
Bug hunter, but like, the ones that crash the game kind not real buggos
Goat work 😅
Hello
Hi darek! We are talking about what job you would want to have in Palia if you could be anything!
Id have to answer with being a travelling merchant!
Can spending all my time customising be a career?
Oeh musician would be cool aswel
honestly, same
def restaurant owner/chef
training for certain weapons should consist of training through mini games...like for instance chopping trees to improve two hand weild, or throwing darts at a dart board for accuracy in bows
archaeologist
Test msg
and certainly not starting a cult
or a travelling shepherd
I would like to be a statefarm insurance agent. Or maybe progressive?
Washing windows for unarmed 😏
ha
SUUP long time no see 😄
Maybe Jake can tell you more about that.
wax on, wax off
Haa! Fancy seeing you here!
a wonderful morning in Palia~ 🦆
@tidal bloom same 😄
Hey Duck ☺️
🦆 🦆 🦆
Herpetologist, wanna figure out what type of reptiles and amphibians I meet in the game…Turtles for example. Maybe collect a few shells…
Wow that was like, right at 12am for me. Spooky.
🦆
Lets have a fight.
Ducks or Turtles?
this chat is insanely active for a game that is very far from release
Turtle for sure
Quack quack
Steve
no fight but ducks cute
It's cause it's a community game. It's less about the game, more about the friends ☺️
we need some drama in here though bestie
like its 3am where I am, haha
i think im all dramad out after pre alpha stuff
This is a chance, everyone. To do something different and wonderful. Be a part of it. 🙂
It's so much better now though, so I am happy 🥺
sounds like we are in same parts of this flat disc we call Earth
I like that ducks quack so they win sorry
@magic mist lol flat....I mean yes it is flat o_O
Duck and turtle at one time! Take cover!
flat ?
yup. its on a turtle
Another cool job could be things like weaving, carpentry or anything that lets you make furniture, decorations, clothes. Oooh, how about a pottery minigame where you have to keep spinning the disc and then mold the clay into the right shape for what you're making! 🤩
@tidal bloom surprised you are here too, i remember you were a lot into PVP
Yeah, now I'm all PvE 😄
This is the way
PvM > PvE
Player vs Monkeys?
Players vs Milky? 🥺
(they are the same thing but I like the term PvM better)
PvE is nice too, Slime Rancher made me like it XD
Would you rather fight 1000 duck-sized turtles or 1000 turtle-sized ducks? Or 1 genetically-enhanced durtle, a monstrosity that has a hardened armor plating and can fly. Imagine a snapping turtle with wings that can swim 30 MPH.
Don't do PvE, why would you like to fight Einar 
played without Tarrs in it
I get so much stress for my contracted hours in a day, I don't need more when I get home 😅
pvp is for eliteists, pve is for community
What does PvM stand for?
player versus monkey
I knew it
PvM = Player vs Monsters
Player vs Money
Milky finds themself surrounded by 199 other pre-alpha testers. Staring directly into the eyes of Milky the goat, all 199 pre-alpha start default dancing in full synchronization. The disconnect button is broken and there is no way to turn off the game. Milky is forever stuck in this PvM hell. Welcome, to Palia.
What did my little goat eyes just read
this is it milky this is the game
who gave you access to tester channels?
👁️ 👄 👁️
I mean isn't it so much more fun to screw each other over financially than by killing one another? lol
Stop 🥺
we are fighting now
y'all are adorable
gn everyone, or morning/afternoon
bleats.
Quick quick everyone start default dancing
gn caako!
P v F player versus Fish. 🎣
i saw it 👀
i havent heard that name in years. Quite literally
Wait please no I don't wanna fight 🥺
too late. i angy
bring it
gives chocolate
She needs a snickers 👀
PvP - player vs pufferfish
I hope we get some lovely rendered food we can cook 😋
throw cold water at @cold mesa
Soooooo.... About Palia who are you guys voting for next in the #📮│public-polls 👀
pve - player versus eel
cool off 😏

Whoever @cold mesa doesn't vote for. She's mean.
I voted for 1.
2 because I want to see that bow
pvpve player vs pufferfish vs eel 😳
Player vs Pie 🥧
2
2!
Player vs Pizza 🍕
pufferfish vs pizza ?
player vs pineapple ?
im voting for Ashura (1)
to be honest, if you focus only on player vs environment, that environment factor better make some serious changes to the world
👀 You wanna fight
Ashura here as well, I want to find out more 😄
lets fight 🥊
Pv
MvM Mushy vs Milky
Player vs Cake 🍰
and if you do player vs player, it better be more than just killing each other, I want to royally screw people over
leTs TaKe iT to DmS!
Wait no you want kissing pvp I need help 🥺
Mushy milk is NASTYYYYY
ima kiss you on the forehead 😤
This game will not have PvP or health bars...
I am aware its not a pvp game
😴
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw-WJkJK210
(I couldn't help but think about this)
You like bankrupting people in Monopoly huh? Not just win. 😄
It will only have passive aggressive gestures like not watering your neighbors crops or wiping your feet on their doormat
😄
This game will have PvP..... Kissing PvP 😳
Hubs wants to SLEEEEEEP so I'm off night all remember to hydrate, rest, be be kind!
Goodnight 😄
That's pretty fucking rude. 😮
😳 Stay away I am goat
That's how we do it 😉
goat lamb you mean ?
What 🥺
Goats are funny creatures
I think step 1 should be building the world in a pve way, but then adding some pvp aspects down the line, but not killing each other rather screwing each other financially
oh wait nope... it's called Kid 🤣
Yeah, kids are baby goat
Why you gotta be Tom Nook 🤣
b/c it WORKS
forgot that goat baby is Kili in Finnish
people will get bored otherwise
Good Morning and happy timezones Palians! 
Morning! 😄

You as well.
whether you want to admit it or not, we are in an extremely comepetitive world
I will stand for no Tom Nook slander 😤
Tom Nook spotted 😏
And why does that need to translate to video gaming?
Because humans play video games.
b/c its what makes a game stay relevant
oh no.... i thought i'd escape mr nook and his crazy loans by coming here
that's why devs said this game will not be for everyone 🙂
I also will defend Tom till the end of time 😤
That is, from my point of view, a rather narrow mindset. As it implies games can only remain relevant if they have pvp. Which is... not true
humans are a bit competitive that is why the world is competitive. It's just something humans enjoy. Competition doesn't need to be traditional though. Fishing contests for example are competition, baking contests, racing, or even growing the biggest vegitable or having the prettiest house.
What about having an outlet for competitiveness?
rip to tom nook and redd's marriage
I don't mean pvp in its current state though, you have to have drama, we are human, we love drama
because of advertised as community driven MMO this got hundreds of thousands applications to pre-alpha
THIS
there is no such thing as a peechy keen world
let me introduce you to my friend Palia
Best competition is who has the fanciest corgi! 🐶
For professions to be competitive, I'd like the professions to require some level of mechanics that way people can learn and strive to be better. Maybe for fishing, some good fish requires higher mechanics but the common fish requires less?
The only kind of "PvP" that would fit into a Game like Palia is, in my opinion, Crafting & Gathering Competitions with Leaderboards where the Top Players will get rewarded something special and everyone else getting a consolation price for participating.
even in this world though, there will be a sense of competiton, that is the point of video games after all
You can never fully escape the real world. Art imitates Life.
Many different video games have different purposes. Not all of them are competitive!
crafting yeah!
let me introduce you to my friend, Death
The point of video games is different for everyone though, is it not?
But what about kissing PvP and forhead kisses 😳
Maybe pet races could be WPM speed typing or something like that. The more trained your dog is the more lenient the WPM competition is?
if game is close to life like, it is simulator then 😏
only if you are speaking of single player games, as soon as you involve a world of many persons, it has to be competitive in some way
Behave yourself 🥺 Please friend
Hm... how would that play out? Kiss each other until one faints? 🤔
Not even the most impressive minds can achieve that level of compartmentalization.
hmmm What are Life Sims?
kissing and sucking the life out of them 😉
I like how you think 👀
In Sims they call that WooHooing
You got some scary ideas there guys. 😱
If i behaved you would ask if i was okay 😌
even in the Sims you want to have the most expensive most elaborate home possible
play a different game for that outlet??
Isn't non traditional competition confirmed in the pinned FAQ anyways?
Well... That's true. I do care about friends...
There's a lot of sentiment that if you want competitiveness/pvp just play an actual pvp game like Apex or Valorant
bold of you to assume i dont play the sims to make really stupid and confusing homes to torment my sims....
I'm saying this is something inherent to humanity and you cannot just magically erase it so there needs to be some way to allow it without it dominating, or in Palia's case, allowing them to achieve their goals of development.
did you read the FAQ yet in the pins? There is some great stuff in there
Yes.
There's entire genres of games that specifically avoid a competitive aspect
ironically that faq is unofficial, therefore nothing in there should be considered as “confirmed” 😉
there are so many other games that are competitive and will do competition better and have a deeper gameplay experience with it bc they are actually focused on the pvp. It feels redundant for palia
video games involving many people is always about trying to be better than the rest, even if you don't call it pvp, its still everyone competing to be the best at the game
oh. why on earth did I think it was official lol
The "unofficial" FAQ is still pretty trustworthy because it's a compilation of dev responses
PVP should not be involved in palia. If you want to play pvp, you can play a game built for pvp. However, competition doesn't always equal pvp
My point exactly - competition does not always equal PvP.
I JUST SAW THIS AND BUST OUT LAUGHING
"cozy" games are a whole different ball game. Honestly, I've been getting a "cozy" feel from Palia since I first saw it. It's not a game I would play for PvP or a competitive nature. It's a game I would play as an outlet to relax and enjoy a slower pace.
untraditional pvp unequivocally will be a thing you cannot stop it. Where it is not made, players will create it.
I can wholeheartedly confirm that this is not the case for most people. In most MMORPGs I've played there was always only a handful of people who really wanted to be the best while the rest just enjoyed their Casual Play without feeling the need to compete.
Fishing tournaments are my favorite competition ☺️
yeah I didn't say anywhere that pvp actually means killing one another, its rather about being the best at the game itself
I don't want another game that stresses me out for falling behind. That's why I quit WoW.
Who can grow the biggest veggies? I want to compete at the farmer's market.
You cannot stop players from creating competition it can be even as simple as who has the best looking house.
There are so many games out there, I'd rather each game master their niche rather than spread themselves thin trying to appease every player
Good morning 👋
board games, video games, all the way back to the beginning of time are about competiton, I don't really understand how you can avoid it
Cute little contests that don't affect gameplay are great. But making it something that I'd have to do for certain parts of content? Not a fan.
Good morning! ☺️
There's a difference between natural competition (like comparing ppl's builds) and incentivized competition (like reward based PVP)
There's actually plenty of evidence that humanity and its very survival were about cooperation all along 
Some people's responses here would indicate that isn't the flavor of game Palia is. Which misses my point of competitiveness existing in humans, PvP-oriented game development or no. And who has the biggest, uh, cucumber.
I have competition 👀
Don't think anything will be forced, don't quote me though. Just seems counter to the entire social experience.
^
This is literally why we developed language.
humans are competitive by nature, that is true 100% but yeah, I dont think incentivized PVP would be within the open world of this game. That doesn't like the vibe it's going for. If anything it might be instanced or available upon request like a duel or something.
The difference is you used an adjective. Competitiveness exists whether we call it PvP or not and an outlet for that needs to exist in some form.
You can be a cooperative species and a competitive one at the same time. These things do not have to be mutually exclusive.
yeah I don't really get the push back on pvp as if it is all about killing one another
tribalism is a thing for a reason
I think we can all agree any competitiveness in Palia would be fun-natured, perhaps even whimsical. 🙂
A "competitive nature" is well satisfied with player-run contests/giveaways/competitions. They don't need to be integrated into the game, as that can make player feel like it's either something they NEED to do to fully enjoy the game OR that they're missing out on something because they, themselves, aren't competitive.
rogers you're red now?
I agree with you haha, I just think if you leave PVP within a sandbox, things get toxic very quickly - which seems antithetical to what the vision of the game is
yeah I decided that I'm a girl now. kidding. I just hated looking like a booger and Don't care how people address me
He had to change pronouns to find his favorite color ☺️
even if you think you are designing a game for non competitive players, there will always be people who want to be above the rest, its human nature
oh okay
rawr
The assumption being one has to do all things to enjoy a game. I don't know of any development that succeeds on the merits of making sure nobody misses anything.
If I'm really thinking about an element of competition that would fit in this world. I would think a sort of collectible/deckbuilding/card game. That way it would be something people can duel, and it would vibe into the world smoothly.
More goat! ☺️
The Goats are taking over! 😱
I have started a rebellion
The goat army has arrived
competitive stitching
"I play +5 Forehead Kiss. You are mesmerized and farm my crops for 2 hours."
I am going to lead Palia with an iron hoof ☺️
Ultimately competition is a display of skill or prowess, so I think a great example would be competitions around what we already do daily, like fishing, baking, that sort of thing 😄
Duck and milky both matching with the goats
You missunderstand what I'm saying. I'm saying it can put undue pressure on many players that are drawn to a genre/game that's intended and/or marketed as a "cozy" game to relax and even escape to.
you know what we need with all these goats? Dwarves and their smithy glory
lets be real, the most competitive people in this game will be those who have invested thousands of hours into the game only to prove that they know everything
Goats are just horses for dwarfs
Or we could have a competitive in game economy >.> xD
horses that have semi usable milk
What if they just played thousands of hours because they just enjoy the Game? 🤔
If someone is playing a game and cannot relax because they "may miss out on something" that is inherent to their personality. The game isn't developing that tension, it's revealing it.
Competitive tomato eating contest
yes
I milked a goat once, it was gnarly
Fastest to press E on a tomato
I'm going to market PvP all over this economy. 😛
@slim shard nobody will play thousands of hours and just say to themselves, yeah I dont expect anything, I just enjoy playing
You think there'll be, like, competitive minigames?
we are talking about a good chunk of your life
I would lol
Did it with ark
What I play sims 4 for thousands of hours
its easy to say that now, but you want to have something to show for how many hours you invested
oh there are two goats here now
some people play games because they enjoy them ...
Meow wouldn't that be a good idea?
The real Palia is the friendship we make along the way
I have 2k hours in just Animal Crossing alone. I dont need more than what we know LOL
2.5k+ hours and didn’t expect a single thing from@the devs because I knew they were incompetent
Guess I'm a Nobody then. I got like over 800 Days of Playtime in Final Fantasy 14 and often i just logged in to Chat and Gather some Fibers or make Screenshots of the Areas i Love or hang out with my NPC Friends and run some Dungeons by myself.
MMos really need a reason to keep coming back. Design is great and all but I don't think that is enough. Be honest how long does animal crossing hold your attention? I think competition to some level is needed just in order to keep people feeling engaged. Even if it's untraditional and relaxing competition.
Yeah same I even afk in ffxiv sometimes not even play just opening the game itself is fun
no, I garunetee all of you @vivid oxide me that you have something to show for the thousands of hours you invested in a game that you are proud of
I have over 2 years (yes, full years) of play time in Runescape
👀 I only have like 2500 hours

Competition between friends is healthy, unless poor sportsmanship is an issue. So I hope there's some sort of competition stuff in the game. ^.^
We all get one life - do with it what you will. 🙂
Do you even know what Animal Crossing is?????
Only compared to two years 😆
That's literally what the whole cozy game genre is. There's plenty of games like that. Like Animal Crossing, which is incredibly popular for a reason.
But can I craft shit? That's my impetus. 😄
MMOs is a dying genre
Even in animal crossing there is some try hards
Sure i do. But this thing has nothing to do with competition. Nor am I going around and be like: "HOHOHO, look at my rare stuff that I achieved because I'm the best." Some people just like to collect without ever showing off.
Not many execute it well
EXACTLY.
Happy Time Zone Palia chat
My island on ACNH is busted AF. And that's okay. I just like running around and picking up weeds and saying hi to my villagers.
But aren't you just competing with a former version of yourself by acquiring more? 🤔 (tee hee)
personally I just want to play a good game shrugs
sad fact is it's too expensive to make a good experience that satisfies everyone... mtx takes over and the game becomes bad and players leave
Hey friend 🥺
Archery!? that'd be fun.
Litteraly who plays games to flex and not to enjoy it? thats such a waste of time

Hi Milky ☺️
Sometimes I feel like people struggling with Palia’s concepts envy our enjoyment and just show up here to poop on it.
It’s tiresome.
You're starting to come across as pretty judgy there. Not a good look, tbh.
you sound angy. do you need a snacky or a nappy?
I hope you slept well ☺️
Yeah.. was getting kind of uncomfy reading "This is how people are, or are supposed to be, this is how you are"
What does this mean? 😮
uh...what?
Do you need to go night night
