It's a social game! It'll be lots of fun I think ☺️

[coarse iron]

E V E R Y T H I N G the gameplay the graphism to socialize in game the storyline

[dusk portal]

A great place to start is the F&Q document which is pinned~! It'll probably answer a lot of your questions.

[lost mauve]

thank youu

[wintry atlas]

It's not 100% clear, but what we are know is the following.

There are 2 surveys to fill out. These contained common metrics such as Region and PC specs. They also asked for bespoke answers to specifics.

The developers are only 50, and they've received hundreds of thousands of survey responses. We expect that they used the common metrics to filter down to a few individuals & then picked from there based on the bespoke answers & your activity in discord.

The activity in discord was not a filter applied to all that made it in. The reason why certain individuals got in is not clear, but again; likely due to their activity, S6 thought they could help.

Thank you friend.

[honest temple]

Nice

[void imp]

[coarse iron]

The game looks amazing how they did all of that its like the perfect game between wow and ac

[warm plover]

nomi what pets did you get

[wintry atlas]

Soon Nomi...soon 😂

[void imp]

i got weird palian ones :3 kinda like a wind hound sheep

[silent cairn]

Fr though. I'm pretty sure I dreamt about that last night.

[void imp]

🤝

[deft sonnet]

its epic

[patent adder]

Yeah I got you two ❤️

[warm plover]

wind hound sheep... can u draw him

[coarse iron]

Im very excited for to the game to release :)

[deft sonnet]

pets are confirmed no?

[warm plover]

pets are on the roadmap according to s6

[silent cairn]

^

[wintry atlas]

The only pet anyone needs is the mighty 🦆 . Although i'd also love to have a 🐮 following me

[patent adder]

I really am too, I think this will be a good game to have fun with friends 🥺

[tidal scroll]

the mighty quacker

[void imp]

well "part of the roadmap" 🤷‍♀️

[coarse iron]

Yeah me too i hope i get it in the pre alpha :/ i register just a few minutes ago

[deft sonnet]

[main nymph]

Morning everyone!

[coarse iron]

🌞 🌞 🌞 🌞

[void imp]

sorry in case you saw this allready: #💬│palia-discussions message

[patent adder]

Did you do both applications? :3

[coarse iron]

Yesss

[warm plover]

did you do the second survey? it's in #📢│palia-news @coarse iron

[wintry atlas]

Are you trying to make me hyped...that worked a little..

[patent adder]

Alright that's good ^^

[silent cairn]

it says access denied for me when clicking that image link

[coarse iron]

I even have filled the creator content xD

[dusk portal]

Speaking of ducks. How come geese are never a valid addition? I mean, could you imagine a hunter with an attack goose. Terrifying.

[coarse iron]

I really have no chance in it x) but i take the chance :)

[silent cairn]

definitely would be fearsome.

[wintry atlas]

You answered your own question. Attack geese - I don't want nightmares

[dusk portal]

They are just too powerful to tame.

[patent adder]

Can you imagine being followed by 5 angry bois honking 👀

[magic lance]

Cobra-chickens

[brittle halo]

Happy timezone y'all! 👋 any fun stuff occur recently?

[warm plover]

it is a beautiful day in bahari bay and you are a horrible goose

[dusk portal]

A wizard or witch with an angry goose familiar.

[main nymph]

Because geese are the spawn of some hellish aberration crossed with a cosmic horror that cannot be named to save your sanity.

[warm plover]

off-topic has been converted to neurodivergent people anonymous

[brittle halo]

ah, finally a support group that doesn't cost an arm and a leg

[inland holly]

Thanks a lot for sharing this.

[coarse iron]

I have doesnt fill the second document i just did it i hope i can make it and stream it :)

Thank you @warm plover ❤️

[warm plover]

:)

[patent adder]

Ooh.. You won't be able so stream it, yet at least. Pre-alpha is under NDA

[coarse iron]

Yeah i know but the day it can be stream its thins this is gonna be a such lovely game to share ☺️

[main nymph]

I was forwarded this by some community members of mine, and I've been excited since then. Glad to be here when there were very few people, though I only lurked. It's crazy to see the excitement and userbase grow

[warm plover]

people love chilling

[patent adder]

Yeah, just hanging around the discord for now is good anyways. Lots of friendly people here to make friends with to play with eventually!

[warm plover]

Just Vibin

[coarse iron]

Yeaaaah !!

[patent adder]

I remember when you joined. I was here and said hi to you ☺️

[main nymph]

I think I said one or two messages then nothing until a few days ago? Lol I didn't think I'd talk here much lol

[coarse iron]

such a lovely community 🙂

[warm plover]

i was curious about when i joined so i looked
my first message here was asking if einar was romanceable.........
bonk me please

[patent adder]

And there is always a 🦆 or 🐢 👀 so.. behave

[coarse iron]

ahah 🙂

[fiery fulcrum]

Goodmorning Palia 🥰

[patent adder]

Also a 🐐 watching.. For new friends ☺️

[safe fern]

We don't have a bonk emote do we

[patent adder]

Morning Aki! :3

[wintry atlas]

Just give the duck

[worthy fjord]

I'm mostly lurking, I'm too soy and scare

[warm plover]

bonk me in spirit

[spring rivet]

the duck emote means a lot of things lol

[coarse iron]

yeah i saw that x)

[tidal scroll]

perfect

let's make a language solely using duck emotes

[tranquil prairie]

i just use the hammer for bonk

[sharp yarrow]

can it meow tho

[spring rivet]

either I'm eyeing you, or I agree with you lol

[valid beacon]

Hihi

[tranquil prairie]

always watching...

[patent adder]

Well you are always welcome, even if a little shy. ☺️

[void imp]

https://ibb.co/DbWVLdG

[magic lance]

Big Ducker is watching you....

[warm plover]

milky will always accept you
he is a goat that only knows love and bonks

[void imp]

oooho a black goose 👀

[silent cairn]

yooooo, thank you!

[main nymph]

Legends say that if you clap too loudly that milky will faint. So we have to be careful.

Speaking of that. Imagine a fainting goat pet.

[dusk portal]

Yes lol

[patent adder]

No I won't. I am a brave goat 🥺

[tranquil prairie]

the bravest goat

[patent adder]

Maybe not the bravest, but I try!

[main nymph]

@patent adder https://youtu.be/okph1T9L9zI

Tell me that wouldn't be cute following you around, and at the moment of surprise, boom.

[patent adder]

Yeah those are little cuties ☺️

[dusk portal]

If You took any damage it faints XD

[tranquil prairie]

valid!!

[dusk portal]

Eat something spicy, faints

[main nymph]

Your neighbor opens the door too fast? The hoe in the garden hits the bucket? You sneeze?

[dusk portal]

A goat faints nearby?

[patent adder]

I am brave goat friends 🥺 Don't worry

[dusk portal]

Milky will protect us

[main nymph]

Don't worry. We will pick you up and carry you if you faint

[warm plover]

milky can you give me some bravery

[dusk portal]

Can we run up towing carts and just...swing people onto them, pls?

Wewo wewoo

[patent adder]

If I could I would, but you can hang out with me and I'll be brave for the both of us ☺️

[void imp]

goats are excellent fighters

[warm plover]

ok :)

[main nymph]

Theyre hard headed that's for sure@void imp

[dusk portal]

Yeah, goats are actually very brave. Farmers use them to keep most predators at bay.

[patent adder]

Goats will headbutt the heck out of a predator

[dusk portal]

CHARGE

[warm plover]

milky can you headbutt me real quick

[knotty crown]

I ship Einer and trailer girl.

[warm plover]

bonk

[patent adder]

https://tenor.com/view/headbutt-hey-lets-play-animals-dog-gif-14284855

[warm plover]

faints

[patent adder]

Oops 🥺

[main nymph]

Breaking news! Magical goat passes fainting trait to another!

[warm plover]

milky is simply too powerful

[deft sonnet]

jup

[tranquil prairie]

i got headbutted (?) in the stomach by a baby goat when i was a child!

[knotty crown]

You can't stop Florence + the Machine!

[tranquil prairie]

i don't know why that had such a jovial tone to it but i was fine ahaha

[patent adder]

Really 🥺 Hope it didn't hurt too bad

[warm plover]

but her name is Maddy not Florence :(

i think one of my brothers got punched by a kangaroo once. i think thats goat headbutt adjacent

[void imp]

about three weeks ago i brought up these antlers from the trailer, and the chat was like ooh what could it be?
https://ibb.co/bg1sLcq

oof we were all fools:
https://ibb.co/DGt8pMk

[vale spire]

OOf. Roo's are mean

[brittle delta]

Happy sunday everyone~!

[knotty crown]

Florence + the Machine is band, and it's typically used when referring to robot/human love

[patent adder]

You too ☺️

[brittle delta]

[vernal knot]

good morning everybody zz

[brittle delta]

Mornin~

[patent adder]

I'm not sure, people have been talking about it though!

[warm plover]

i literally never even remember to look at decorations like those
how much shit did they hide in the trailer?!

[patent adder]

Good morning Octo, my goaty friend ☺️

[warm plover]

oh yeah you two are both goats!

[brittle delta]

ooh i think you've solved that, now to find the actual creatures somewhere

[safe fern]

There is what looks like a 'wanted' poster in the trailer I'm obsessed with

[warm plover]

palia fans staring at every trailer frame and analyzing every details: NEW LORE JUST DROPPED drools

[safe fern]

Like why would that exist in this cozy world?? Maybe they just went missing idk

[brittle delta]

i remember when the animal crossing new horizons trailer dropped, i was in a group that combed through every single frame of footage and we had like a 30 page document of all findings at the end

[warm plover]

maybe its a missing persons poster? or maybe an ad?

[tranquil prairie]

wanted for being an absolute ray of sunshine <3

[void imp]

maybe they wanna be voted in to the city council

[warm plover]

We should start compiling this somewhere
Should I make a master doc detailing every character reveal so far and linking every other lore doc we have?

[thorny dune]

I've specifically asked questions about this and received no response yet, so I think we won't get more info on them 😦 (yet*)

[tranquil prairie]

wow!! thats impressive dedication! 💕

[void imp]

disturbo is collecting and people are preparing for the wiki

[tranquil prairie]

the devs when we ask too many questions: yall hear somthing?? /lh

[safe fern]

I posted some pics here a while back showing he may have a full portrait on the wall of the tavern

[thorny dune]

I can't imagine the relief they'll feel when they can reveal way more information

[void imp]

but i don't know the details of everyones efforts so go to town or try to organise and communicate

[warm plover]

i mostly just want to make a doc that gives the basic rundown of stuff that's been revealed so far, without forcing people to read the whole faq doc

but im kinda too lazy now that i think about it....

[safe fern]

from: twinklizard#4283 in: palia-chat has: image

[thorny dune]

Yeah about a month ago I was talking about how I am pretty sure those posters are wanted/bounty posters likely related to hunting. I'm thinking possibly legendary animal hunts (like the stag from the trailer) as opposed to criminal bounties or anything

[warm plover]

even though i KNOW that if i started i would probably be able to make something useful

[wintry atlas]

What would you have in the document that the unofficial one currently doesn't? Just better organisation or speculation from the trailer type stuff?

[warm plover]

Things that were revealed outside of dev answers in that channel. compilations of artwork.

[safe fern]

Ohh more like an ad for hunting quests then?

[warm plover]

A super fast summary and answer to commonly asked questions like "prealpha when?" without making people read through a huge doc in small font cause some people dont like doing that

[vagrant anvil]

WANTED: KingToasty, for the crime of being too dang cute

[warm plover]

im cuter >:(

[brittle delta]

looking at the posters, there seem to be multiple different ones, some seem to be news, some advertisements and one looks like an actual wanted poster (on the right) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861205865078849546/unknown.png

[tranquil steppe]

[brittle delta]

some more here https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/526122834385174529/861206107501625344/unknown.png

[warm plover]

i thought it might be a missing poster rather than a wanted poster

[tranquil steppe]

Maybe missing pets?

[brittle delta]

aren't missing posters just wanted posters for a different reason

[magic lance]

I believe one is about fishing Competition or Fishing permit

[lyric ether]

oh are we disecting the trailer?

[brittle delta]

i am now i guess

[wintry atlas]

I think the artwork idea is great - i certainly haven't looked around the channel much so for someone like me, that would be good.

I think the top asked questions is probably not needed. I base that off of 2 things;

1. People don't look or know that an FAQ exists - Asking is quicker & easier.
2. The answer already exists elsewhere - Your doc would just need repeat the 'soon' mantra in your own words.

That said, if it became the Unofficial one over Vlad's then yeah it should have it.

[warm plover]

yeah i guess thats true
i can at least compile artwork and update it often

[brittle delta]

the poster with the colorful yellow/orange image and the blue bottom, it reminds me a bit of the monster hunter monster icons.. a hunting request maybe?

[warm plover]

ooh a hunting request seems plausible

[lyric ether]

i think there needs to be a role that just rotates colors everytime you talk

[tranquil steppe]

Rotates colours? You mean a bot that does that?

[warm plover]

rogers you are like the only person who would use that

[brittle delta]

those used to be a thing with bots but discord went against it, took a lot of resouirces apparantly

[warm plover]

also it seems unnecessarily difficult to set up

[lyric ether]

sadface

[tranquil steppe]

Code wise it doesnt seem much

Rate limit wise, no

[void imp]

aah i love your profile picture!

[tranquil steppe]

Thanks

[warm plover]

dragoniteeeeee

[tranquil steppe]

Cats are cute too

[boreal ivy]

anyone play the game yet?

[warm plover]

no

[inland holly]

I assume your house is going to be like an instance where you go to it via a loading screen, right?

[magic lance]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/853693978863992893/861207508161265685/fishing.jpg

[boreal ivy]

i thought they were doing the closed beta thing a few days ago

[brittle delta]

oh u right

[tranquil steppe]

Probaly alpha testers but they cant leak any info due to their NDA i think

[warm plover]

It's a closed prealpha
and some invites were sent out, but they haven't started testing yet

[boreal ivy]

ohh right i see ok

[brittle delta]

i can't get my video to look that sharp though sadly

[patent adder]

Pre-alpha testers have been chosen, 200 of the 1400 so far. We haven't begun playing yet though ☺️

[brittle delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861207710137057310/unknown.png interesting, didnt realize we got a town name as well

[tranquil steppe]

oo

[warm plover]

OMG WE KNOW ITS BAHARI TOWN NOW

[magic lance]

i just Screen capture the 4k video

[warm plover]

im definitely putting that in my doc
we know about Bahari Town, Bahari Bay and Bahari University(?)

Sorry, the Bahari Institute

[magic lance]

where is that image from ?

[elfin gull]

im guessing NDAs are involved for the Pre-Alpha testers, so no showing anything outside of designated channels here? 👀

[brittle delta]

official trailer, around 1:29 https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/526122834385174529/861208545525366784/unknown.png

[tranquil steppe]

Probaly

[warm plover]

yeah theres an nda

[brittle delta]

didnt realize the website had a 4k trailer, was using a 1080p one on youtube

[warm plover]

They can give vague opinions (e.g. "im enjoying it so far") but thats about it

[magic lance]

Good catch 🙂

[elfin gull]

figured, its the Pre-Alpha after all

[safe fern]

That's well spotted damn

[patent adder]

Yep. ☺️ Timeless and Rin got you covered.

[brittle delta]

[placid junco]

does anyone know when the game will launch?

[warm plover]

im just repeating things other prealpha testers have said

[warm plover]

the closest thing we got to a release date was a dev saying that release would be in "much less than three years"

[fiery fulcrum]

Oh wow 😮

[thorny dune]

Feels like ages away 😢

[void imp]

hehe we've known for a while, glad you learnt too

[fiery fulcrum]

That's alright! as long as i havent got rip'd yet in those years this will be fast! 😄

[placid junco]

ok , thanks for telling me

[brittle delta]

the painting and the poster in the tavern(/inn?) have the same person/portrait on em as well https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861209248104316938/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861209248104316938/unknown.png

[patent adder]

You'll get to spend that time harassing me ☺️

[tranquil steppe]

In about less than 3 years i think

[thorny dune]

No thanks 🙂

[magic lance]

So there is english, Blocky Letters, and sweaping letters, plus the human Symbols and village icons.

[thorny dune]

Milky will no longer be receiving tummy rubs publicly anymore

[patent adder]

Oh no, what will I ever do 🥺

[brittle delta]

i'd say the english is just for accessibility and shouldn't be read into much as far as in-world lore goes

[thorny dune]

I'd assume if the game is 1.5-3 years away that even the lore likely isn't finalised

[spring rivet]

They still have enough time to add ducks in the lore 😃🦆🦆🦆🦆

[fiery fulcrum]

yes ducks.. and llamas

[last tendon]

And alpacas!

[tranquil steppe]

first a turtle noe a duck, whats next

[warm plover]

and cats

[thorny dune]

Toast

[vale spire]

Word. Can't live without my cats.

[tranquil steppe]

that works i guess

[last tendon]

I want a farm filled with alpacas so badly haha

[void imp]

time to further educate myself on good alpha testing, see you later!

[tranquil prairie]

maybe ducks were responsible for the disappearance of the humans 👀

[fiery fulcrum]

that would be hilarious omg

[inland holly]

My number one request for this game: I want a pet pig called Truffles

[fiery fulcrum]

Like that tv show I watched. Once they gave the cats to ability to open their own wet catfood it was over for the humans

[inland holly]

Otherwise I will have to settle for a pet Alpaca

[patent adder]

That's what I said, I said the chapaa duck that disco duck has is the reason. People actually went into hiding 👀

[storm ferry]

Does anyone know if the pre alpha is gonna be like open information? Because id love to be able to see more from the game if someone is allowed to stream or upload content from it or something!

[patent adder]

We had to sign an NDA, sorry :c

[void imp]

remember that it looks like the animals will be at least other-ordly to some degree 🌼

[tranquil steppe]

Alright ttyl, dinnet (Asia TZ)

[warm plover]

ok time for me to start on the Super Quick Introduction To Palia & Art Compilation Doc (& Knuckles [Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series])

[storm ferry]

Thats alright! I hope youll enjoy it ans thanks for telling me :))

[thorny dune]

I'm sure by the end of the year we'll have a more open alpha phase though 🙂

[patent adder]

Yeah, I'm sure there will be more info to come! Just not from the testers. ☺️

[inland holly]

Okay a magical pet pig called Mystical Truffles, I'm flexible

[magic lance]

The Great Quckastrophe

[patent adder]

It was the quackening 🥺

Webby is amazing there

[warm plover]

Can someone give me questions that new people ask a lot

other than "prealpha when" and "release date when"

[regal swallow]

They use the international timezone

[worthy rose]

"How do i know if i got in?"

Pvp?

M word 😬

#🎨│old-palia-fan-art message

[brittle delta]

pvp, combat, monetization, alpha info (how do i get in, how do i know if i get in, will it be streamed)

[patent adder]

Say no more

[brittle delta]

i guess those are the biggest ones i can think of

[tranquil steppe]

Or When is it released

Ya totally, focus on nature and folklore is all it is

[thorny dune]

nothing wrong with someone having a beer 🙂

[knotty crown]

Stands up and lights a match. I WILL END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL

[surreal crest]

🐻

[knotty crown]

beer might not be gambling, but it's still bad

[main nymph]

I do hope palia has the ability to open a pub. Let me rub the same glass for 8 hours a day while lending a friendly ear.

[vagrant anvil]

Jokes on you, pubs are caked in layers of filth, making most matches unable to remain alight

[warm plover]

am i forgetting anything ughhh

[knotty crown]

... huh

[thorny dune]

Nah 😄

[regal swallow]

A Pub of Milkshakes?

[vagrant anvil]

They say the stickiness of the pub is an indicator of quality

[knotty crown]

This is fine.

[main nymph]

Milkshake IPAs?@regal swallow

[vagrant anvil]

Where do you watch movies on other planets? @knotty crown

[surreal crest]

we might have drinks in our casino

[severe patio]

@main nymph No i'm french ...but i try to be polite ^^

[main nymph]

[knotty crown]

Where do I watch movies from other planets or where on other planets do I watch movies?

[vagrant anvil]

Where do you watch movies on other planets

[main nymph]

Watch out. I'll open a palian microbrewery and supply your casino @surreal crest 🧐

[vagrant anvil]

Don't read into it, it's a setup for a punchline :P

[muted wind]

spaceflix?

[vagrant anvil]

At Cinemars!

[muted wind]

hahhaa nice

[safe fern]

Sorry I was too slow lol

[knotty crown]

I repeat my question.

[vagrant anvil]

tell me more about your steam commnuitry

[vagrant anvil]

at cinemars

[main nymph]

Don't attack my spelling. Blame samsung autocorrext @vagrant anvil 🥲

[knotty crown]

oh bad joke

[glad kayak]

as usual, thanks for informing us, was taken care of

[vagrant anvil]

the setup was poorly worded, granted.

[brittle delta]

thank you

[main nymph]

And I managed to mess that up. Lol

[knotty crown]

yeah, tho I had an answer to one of those, from an anime

[vagrant anvil]

if you thought that was bad you should read my status lmao

[knotty crown]

oof

[brittle geyser]

are people playing the game now

[muted wind]

there is like 200 testers doing the pre alpha right now

[round solstice]

Yup

[patent adder]

There are 200 people that have pre-alpha! We aren't doing it right now though ☺️

[faint dawn]

Nope, we havent started actual testing.

[muted wind]

oh really? i thought it was something that was ongoing, sorry

[patent adder]

Nope, just started getting people ready for it and NDAs filled out 😄

[faint dawn]

Nope, i imagine theyll bring the server up and down in scedueled playtimes for testing.

[storm ferry]

@patent adder Youre amazing in this chat, answering everyones questions. U even helped a friend of mine hahah

[main nymph]

Milky is pretty great.

[muted wind]

oh man you guys must be even more excited

[patent adder]

Ahh I am not that amazing. Thank you though, I'm glad I was able to help your friend too 😅

[potent trellis]

I'm curious what your answer was🤔? Though I don't even know the question 😂

[surreal crest]

You magnificent bastard, you got yourself a deal

[patent adder]

I'm very excited at least, yeah 😅 And sad because I wanna be able to share details with all of you. 🥺

[main nymph]

See, now the devs have to do it. We already have a business plan!@surreal crest

[buoyant sinew]

Maybe some day, milky.

[warm plover]

sorry putting these here cause i need their images

[patent adder]

I sure hope so!

[storm ferry]

U can always dm me if u need to vent bout how cool it is

[surreal crest]

yoo @small hinge we got ourselves a bartender!

[storm ferry]

No need ot be sad about it :)) 😂

[patent adder]

😆 I'm sure I'll be okay, don't worry!

[storm ferry]

Was worth a shot c:

[patent adder]

You are a goof ☺️

[jolly stone]

The pre alpha is on pc but is there any indication the game will drop on consoles too?

[patent adder]

PC first, they plan on mobile and consoles too.

[deft sonnet]

Mobile palia

[storm ferry]

😆

[deft sonnet]

Intersting

[patent adder]

OSRS Mobile is awesome ☺️ I believe Palia could make it work

[sharp yarrow]

Genshin Impact has a good mobile experience too, but that game is mobile first

[deft sonnet]

Okay, i just dont see myself play a MMO on mobile

When you have a pc version

[patent adder]

Ngl, I played.. Lots of hours of Osrs at work on mobile 👀

[sharp yarrow]

To be honest, it doesn't even have to be the full game on mobile, maybe just some of the activities and chatting functionalities

[main nymph]

Just like Albion online and runescape, Playing on the go fills the void when you aren't on your pc

[worthy fjord]

It could be nice pc and phone crosssave

[deft sonnet]

Haha yeah i dont have time to play a game at work

[patent adder]

"We're aiming to release on "most" platforms after PC launch, mobile is a high priority, I don't think I can say more than that right now." is the exact quote by the way 😅

[brisk pewter]

good morning o3o

[vagrant anvil]

Mornin' o/

[rare brook]

Hi 🙂

[patent adder]

Good morning friends 😄

[magic lance]

Cant take mobiles on the shop floor anyway where i work.

[round solstice]

Morning

[regal swallow]

Morning to you!

[celest maple]

Being able to manage your crops and such in bed would be nice. I'm bedbound some days, so to have access to the phone and be able to at least check up on my Palia account would be comforting.

[round solstice]

Understandable, almost lost a finger on the shop floor when distracted by my phone.

[vast niche]

Morning

[patent adder]

Good morning!!

[main nymph]

All I do is build and repair computers. So I have some downtime lol

[deft sonnet]

True

[vast niche]

I dont wanna work today 😭

[surreal crest]

lmao I work in QA so I can't even bring anything electronic

[patent adder]

Awwh.. Hopefully it goes quickly ☺️

[surreal crest]

except for, you know, a watch.

[main nymph]

Palia smart watch edition

[knotty crown]

Okay, this took forever to find. Basically it's an anime called RobiHachi. In it, there's a planet that's specifically about entertainment, like anime and stuff? I can't find a proper episode synopsis.

[vernal crystal]

Is there some sort of NDA for the people invited on the pre-alpha? Just curious why there's no screenshots and videos now that people get to play 👀

[warm plover]

Okay I think I'm done assembling the FAQ/Art compilation

[main nymph]

Yes, and they haven't played yet @vernal crystal

[warm plover]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N61pu4gGNSrHTJ_UElbqk2FPl2QaN-hGJ3S5CYg4nzM/edit?usp=sharing

[vernal crystal]

Oooh gotcha
And I'm actually fine with that, keeps the mystery :))

[dusty bloom]

Hey, are the Tester already playing?

[loud axle]

Good morning Pals! Hope everyone has a great day!

[main nymph]

Nope!

[patent adder]

Nope we aren't ☺️

[warm plover]

Good morning Roan

[dusty bloom]

guess still alot of work to prepare 🙂

[vernal crystal]

I can't imagine how anxious the testers feel right now waiting to be able to play 🤣

[patent adder]

Yeah. Soon I hope 😄

[warm plover]

is loading this super laggy? should i have put the art in another doc...?

[sleek surge]

Any idea when a second round of email invites will go out? Or are they only doing the 1 round for pre-alpha?

[loud axle]

Not at all in my case lol. Though I've also been busy with work so haven't been on as much anyway! Just excited to finally see the game :)

[vernal crystal]

Fair enough 😌

[warm plover]

New invites should be going out "some time in the coming weeks"

[loud axle]

They said 1400 total, there's about 200 of us so far but we don't know exactly when more invites will go out

[craggy niche]

Wait, testers cant play yet?

[warm plover]

nope

[knotty crown]

If I got tester, at this point I'd just avoid this channel cuz I wouldn't want to be spammed questions about it. 0.0

[craggy niche]

Feelsbadman

[warm plover]

#📢│palia-news message
Here's Nel's statement on the invites

[patent adder]

I can't make more friends that way 🥺

[void imp]

aah when is the next wave coming, tell me at once! i can not contain my excitement

[loud axle]

It's a delicate art lol. It's a lot more difficult trying to bounce around between channels now, that's for sure... But I miss my pals here!

[warm plover]

#❔│game-faqs message
Here's WizardCrab's statement on invites

[potent trellis]

I think Rick and Morty also had one such planet.

[craggy niche]

But he is not saying anywhere testers wont be able to test the game

[wintry atlas]

Just some feedback @warm plover - The font can probably be smaller & can you add a table of contents so people know where to jump to?

[vagrant anvil]

Show me what you got

[surreal crest]

You mean testers as in alpha access players?

[warm plover]

Ok!

[patent adder]

I don't know where the quote is, but I promise people with Pre-alpha aren't playing yet 🥺

[void imp]

@brittle delta i love the pebbles a lot

[loud axle]

We will, they've told us about when we can expect to be in... We're just not playing yet.

[deft sonnet]

i luve einar

[main nymph]

You know what else we need besides the ability to cook using whatever ingredients we have for custom dishes? Boba tea.

[knotty crown]

no robo
yes robo

[surreal crest]

add tapioka

[craggy niche]

Well I hope it to be soon 😁

[warm plover]

i have no idea how to add a table of contents to google docs
theres the automatic one but i dont think that works on mobile

[knotty crown]

boop

[main nymph]

I can try to help out when I have a bit of time @warm plover

[warm plover]

thanks 👋

[main nymph]

Perhaps we should just create a wiki 👀

[warm plover]

there is one but i thought a faq to catch new people up to speed would be more accessible

[loud axle]

There's one on Fandom

[celest maple]

do I need to pre-purchase or it will be free? confused

[spring talon]

[loud axle]

No info on monetization yet.

[celest maple]

Good morning y’all

[main nymph]

Open to customizing? I could help build a faq section so people don't have to mess with formatting on Google docs as much later?

[surreal crest]

can you drop a link?

[pearl ore]

Think there'll be coffee in palia?

[warm plover]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N61pu4gGNSrHTJ_UElbqk2FPl2QaN-hGJ3S5CYg4nzM/edit?usp=sharing
its going through some formatting atm sorry!!!

[loud axle]

Yeah that and tea were pretty much confirmed

[pearl ore]

Cool. Think there'll be coffee in me soon?

[surreal crest]

I mean wiki haha

[warm plover]

oh. i have no idea. i just know nomi contributes to it

[loud axle]

I hope so. There's already two cups in me this morning.

[warm plover]

@void imp yo hmu with that wiki link pls ily

[celest maple]

I'll have a cup of coffee in game every time I have a cup of coffee in real life while playing.

[pearl ore]

I coffee

[sterile stirrup]

[deft sonnet]

nicee wel done

[patent adder]

Hey friend ☺️

[loud axle]

Tea. Earl grey. Hot.

[patent adder]

Hey there! 😄

[sterile stirrup]

[pearl ore]

I hope coffee in palia has the same effect as coffee in real life; make everyone bearable

[sterile stirrup]

star trek fan?

[safe fern]

Normal Earl Grey, Peppermint or Rooibos

Table of Contents added
no idea if it's good though

[patent adder]

...9am 😅 I work nights though

[digital thorn]

maybe coffee maybe tea

[serene jasper]

ah i see, hope u get some sleep soon bestiee

[main nymph]

@warm plover works well on mobile

[warm plover]

i kinda wanna ask someone to pin it but i dont know if its useful enough to ask for that...

[vagrant anvil]

Q: prior to questions is redundant, questions should be a subheading under FaQ

[serene jasper]

im still tired at its like 2pm for me LOL

[main nymph]

Absolutely it is

[patent adder]

Awwh new friend 🥺

[warm plover]

fixing it

[serene jasper]

yesssirr

[severe gorge]

the palia discord problem, TOO MANY FRIENDS

[warm plover]

Is that better?

[loud axle]

I couldn't help but notice a few weeks ago that paliawiki.com is registered... But hasn't been built yet. 👀

[patent adder]

Problem? My dream!

[celest maple]

I can't wait to skim through that once it's out.

[celest ridge]

Afternoon, Palians!

[main nymph]

Well im down to help to update it when it comes time even if I can't test, I can do whatever else possible @loud axle 👀

[loud axle]

There's already https://palia.fandom.com/wiki/Palia_Wiki with some info!

[patent adder]

Hello ☺️

[celest maple]

Thanks, Roan.

[vagrant anvil]

Does Google dog have subheadings?

[warm plover]

Uh... probably

[zinc pond]

Good morning everyone, Happy timezone ❤️

[deft sonnet]

@warm plover you can maybe also put the palia sub reddit in your doc

[warm plover]

hm ok

[vagrant anvil]

Is that an automatic table of contents?

[loud axle]

Is the subreddit open? :O

[warm plover]

which one are we talking about? i dont know the reddit

[warm plover]

I had to insert it myself but yeah

[deft sonnet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PaliaMMO/

[patent adder]

Hey ☺️

[fiery fulcrum]

hows everyone today 😄

[brisk river]

Hi everyone!

[vagrant anvil]

There's an automatic one that will do it based on the heading types
If you go to Help at the top and type in table of contents and select Insert Table of Contents it will add one that will create one for you
@warm plover

[remote latch]

looking at the whois .. the owner is an individual in Iceland .. somehow doubt it was registered by Palia .. probably someone hoping palia will want to pay for the doman at a higher price.

[warm plover]

ah yeah im using that

[patent adder]

Good how are you?

[severe gorge]

too much for my introverted self

[vagrant anvil]

Neat

[celest ridge]

I'm preparing to do chores around the house. 😒 Otherwise I'm good, haha.

[patent adder]

In general I am pretty introverted myself.. Despite what it looks like here 😅

[fiery fulcrum]

Ah same! Did mine today haha so today is prretty chill 😄

[vagrant anvil]

It's recommended to keep header texts left aligned

[warm plover]

ok i fixed the subheadings

[vagrant anvil]

Lookin good

[warm plover]

For now I'll just be linking things officially recognised by S6

[celest ridge]

It'll feel good to get them over with! Right now I just need my caffeine fix.

[loud axle]

I am as well, so as this chat has picked up a bit it's been more difficult to chat. :P I'm getting better though!

[warm plover]

I talk a lot here but if im in person or in a voicecall with someone my social battery just goes nyoom and empties instantly

[severe gorge]

i quit caffeine a few months ago, coffee specifically, i dont enjoy having my heart race THAT fast

[earnest pilot]

hey guys, how is everyone doing

[patent adder]

Good! How are you?

[vagrant anvil]

Being introverted doesn't mean you can't socialise

[deft sonnet]

ah okay

[remote latch]

same here .. I'm more comfortable typing to people than actually talking to people

[wintry atlas]

@warm plover If you start the actual FAQ & 'What is Palia' on the 2nd page, it will also require less maintenance for you to keep the formatting going forward. (Otherwise your Table of Contents will keep eating spaces away from the page).

[warm plover]

Ok!

[severe gorge]

socializing is a pain

[warm plover]

ok i think i fixed it

[zinc pond]

Yea I agree

[celest ridge]

I get that, it doesn't do any favours for anxiety either, but ya know... I'm addicted. 😛

[vagrant anvil]

AAAA, do ctrl + enter to insert a page break!

[warm plover]

sorry im stupid

[wintry atlas]

That's it! Perfect

[warm plover]

Thanks!!!

[vagrant anvil]

I watch you hit enter so many times and my heart shattered into a thousand typesetting pieces

[severe gorge]

just drink tea, all the benefits without the downsides

[warm plover]

im sorry ;w;

[karmic vault]

Good Morning All

[warm plover]

i'll add page breaks to answers that go over the page to keep things nice and tidy

[zinc pond]

Morning!

[celest ridge]

Tea is lovely, yeah. I hope there's copious amounts of tea in Palia.

[severe gorge]

TEEAAA

[zinc pond]

I would just love some jasmine tea sitting next to the fire as it brews

[vagrant anvil]

Monetization has an empty line before it

[zinc pond]

it would be a great time

[warm plover]

now to figure out if this whole thing will actually be useful
i think ive been in a fugue state doing this for the past hour

[celest ridge]

YES. I want.

[warm plover]

fixed? i think
i dont know how to do typesetting

[severe gorge]

chamomile and chai are my go to

[vagrant anvil]

yep yep

[zinc pond]

I personally love some jasmine or matcha with some rock sugar

[severe gorge]

i wouldnt say no to jasmine

[main nymph]

@severe gorge my heartrate used to hit 200s in the fire dept. They never understood how I was standing 😂 moral of the story, don't use five hour energies, nodoz, and burning buildings. You'll think your heart was gonna come out

[zinc pond]

My go to right now is green tea

[exotic schooner]

Goodmorning peeps

Morning

[exotic schooner]

How is everyone today?

[lyric ether]

it's a new day? crap i forgot to sleep

[zinc pond]

Tired and drowsy from all of this rain

[exotic schooner]

It's 3PM here, just woke up heh

[lyric ether]

WTB rain, my state needs rain.

[exotic schooner]

Rain is one of the best parts of living thoooooo

[zinc pond]

Well my state gets all the rain and it's so hot

[lyric ether]

stop hogging the rain

[thorny dune]

export the rain

[zinc pond]

Not when you have a hurricane hitting you

[exotic schooner]

Oh bless you, hope it all goes well for you

[lyric ether]

rain hoarders are the worst i swear, ya'll need to share mother's love with the rest of us

[zinc pond]

I love a rainy day, sit inside and watch movies all day snuggled up in a blanket but right now it's just so muggy outside

[remote latch]

Looking at the official art character info ..

Einar runs the fishing shack - We know fishing skill exists
Jina loves old books - We know there are lore books, we likely bring the books to them
Zeki runs the local store - Clearly stuff we can buy and maybe sell there .. or trade
Tamala is a potion maker - Will they be someone to learn the art of potion making from ?
Jel is a skilled tailor - Will they be someone to learn the art of tailoring from ?
Chef at the inn - Do we trade our farm produce with them ? Or will they be teaching us the art of cooking ?
So, what do you guys think, anyone else you can add to the list that could highlight possible gameplay elements ?

[zinc pond]

Maybe at the inn there will be a place to stay and sleep after a hard days work

[lyric ether]

Tamala is the VP of Palia

[brittle delta]

trailer shows gardening

at least growing crops

[warm plover]

Ok, I'm finally done! I think.

[lyric ether]

done what friend?

[warm plover]

im gonna slide down my chair now

Inn chief is Ashura

Hmm... i know auni is the mail boy.
But can we also help with mail?

Like package delivery quests to npcs .

[wintry atlas]

I think that'd be good. I suggested they do that as an activity to reward resources - if they wanted an alternative to the usual method

[zinc pond]

I would love that, I will most definitely work at the post office if there is one

[bronze mountain]

Yo man u did great work i hope new people will read it before starting same topic again

[patent adder]

He did do great work. I expect people will still ask but I don't blame them ☺️

[winter solar]

Happy 4th of july to all americans that say football instead of soccer

[warm plover]

thank youu
should i ask someone to pin it? i dont want to be a bother and idk if its that helpful,,

[bronze mountain]

imo it could be pined

[zinc pond]

I would if you want new people to see it

[nimble idol]

Europe? 😱

[zinc pond]

It would be a hassle trying to show it to every new person

[vagrant anvil]

not even close lmao

[remote latch]

psst they say soccer instead of football .. 🙂

[warm plover]

...i dont know how to ask... green names scary

[vagrant anvil]

Oh 3pm, i read am

[warm plover]

maybe ill ask duck or turtle next time i see them

[winter solar]

Maybe there is someone that says football who knows lol

[faint dawn]

I wohld say soccer is football as thT makes more sense logically but it woyld get very confusing unless i call football rugby in which theyre totally different...

[zinc pond]

Turtle will probably be here soon telling us to stay on topic

[vagrant anvil]

I'm green (っ °Д °;)っ

[spring rivet]

Hello!

[vagrant anvil]

@spring rivet Is your name Drake?

[warm plover]

duck is it ok for me to ask you to pin something

[winter solar]

In my country we call your sport american football

[zinc pond]

Alright mr overlord duck master sir

[nimble idol]

I want to visit Sweden so bad, it’s beautiful!

[warm plover]

[warm plover]

[exotic schooner]

It's very nice, my gf visited last year from england and she loved it!

[spring rivet]

[remote latch]

introduction for newcomers ? or what you said 🙂

[warm plover]

Thank you Duck!

[vagrant anvil]

[tepid fossil]

Prealpha is free, but you have to be chosen for it. 1400 people are getting chosen, 200 invites sent out so far

And you have to sign your life away with the NDA rofl

if you had to pay to play, it would most likely be called something like early access instead of an alpha

[warm plover]

i was possessed by the spirit of palia

[winter solar]

Yup ik that but i said in case i was chosen

[patent adder]

Ooh okay. Yes! It is free then. ☺️

[pearl ore]

I signed milky's life away

[tepid fossil]

although a lot of cash grabs will sell "founder's packages" that give you access to alpha or beta sometimes too

[winter solar]

I thought the same but i questioned just in case

[tepid fossil]

yeah it is a good question, I am just adding to it

[spring rivet]

sleep as soon as you feel it, Rin. Sleep rarely visits you so grab it! 🦆

[wide wedge]

Good timezone everyone! I just woke up!

[regal swallow]

Duck knows very well of Ducking out to bed

[warm plover]

but i could stay awake instead and be dumb in here

[hearty dirge]

I call everyone comrade.

[zinc pond]

Happy timezone! ❤️

[spring rivet]

you're lovely, not dumb

[patent adder]

Alright friends. I am going to go to sleep now. Everyone behave while goat is away please ☺️

[warm plover]

mmm i could stay awake and be lovely in here

[plush otter]

Gnight!!

[zinc pond]

Good night!

[warm plover]

MIIIILKYYYYYY gimme a hug

[wide wedge]

Goodnight goat friend! 👋

[void imp]

is interiror design a big part of stardew and HM? if not i'd include animal crossing as a comparison since it seems to be a big part of palia. or refrain from comparing it to other games and put the things they mention on the website :3

[warm plover]

gnight goat goat

oooooh ok thank you nomii

[void imp]

sleep well!!

[bronze mountain]

@warm plover in faq u written we have seen a hunting skill in action u mean in trailer or there is other videos?

[raw quarry]

Sorry just woke up, mind is fazzled

[warm plover]

mmm i think there was a gif or screenshot somewhere?

[tepid fossil]

idk about HM but in SDV it can be. there's a lot of cosmetic mods

[bronze mountain]

aa ok thanks

[warm plover]

Mmm... does anyone know where that hunting pic/gif was?

[pearl ore]

I never stardid

[warm plover]

here, is this better nomiiii @void imp
The gameplay will have a similar feeling to games such as Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing; large, dramatic battles like the sort you see in most MMORPGs are, as far as we know, completely absent.

im gonna go hunt down that hunting gif brb

[remote latch]

can't see any image of hunting .. just the video

[vagrant anvil]

It's typically recommended to refrain mentioning other games in general when pitching game ideas to publisher (ik that's not what's happening) in order to set realistic expectations, because if you start saying "it's like Stardew valley or Animal Crossing" people who have played and loved those games will extrapolate content from them and add them to their expectations

[warm plover]

there was one picture with a crosshair i KNOW it

[warm plover]

oh ill remove the examples then!!!! ok

[void imp]

@warm plover i'd put ask instead of bug in the answer about streaming, people might take it the wrong way

[tepid fossil]

i think it's fine to put it in a FAQ, it's just to give an idea to the reader. not something set in stone

[vagrant anvil]

"Palia is like X game, and X game has Y feature, so maybe palia will have Y feature!"
And that's how people get over-hyped

[warm plover]

ok ok!!!

i changed it to ask

patchnotes: removed things that could make people angry

[void imp]

oh also rin, the doc name should make clear that it's content is different from vlad's faq

[buoyant yew]

i been spending all my time hyped for the game trying not to have expectations for all the stuff i wanna do, i just hope its good and a chill game i can vibe with friends in

[warm plover]

how do i do that

i'll call it the Palia Introduction Guide. howbout that

[mint steppe]

So all I can think of is Palia at work yeeee

[void imp]

maybe people in chat can help, i'm looking through the doc and then i have to do something else :(

[regal swallow]

[warm plover]

okkk im just gonna call it the palia introduction guide for now i thinmk that works
now for me to go look for that hunting image or gif

i didnt imagine it right? there was that pic of someone with a crosshair hunting a deer

[bronze mountain]

u can also just go to sleep

[warm plover]

i have to FIX THINGS FIRST AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa

[bronze mountain]

[plush otter]

Hmmm

[void imp]

since there has been no official statement about this "It's worth noting that most Pre-Alpha testers seem to be from North America (though some are from Canada and South America). It's unknown if S6 will expand the testing into other regions in the future." i'd leave it out because that might be a source of conflict and singularity 6 should address it first

[warm plover]

i just want new people to know it in advance?

[tepid fossil]

lol does that imply canada is not north america? that's hilarious

[void imp]

and at the same "how do i know if i got in" i'd mention that new channels will appear in this discord including the one where you can find the nda

[warm plover]

for the record are those channels at the bottom or the top of the chat
wait how would you know lol

[wintry atlas]

I think we can probably help re-word some of the answers. Reckon a disclaimer at the start to just say these are not official answers but a collection of responses from the community

[warm plover]

mmmm ok

[void imp]

if singularity 6 didn't let us know we shouldn't make assumptions. telling them in chat if they notice is themselves is different from putting it in a doc, docs automatically seem a bit official.

but that's just my opinion.

[warm plover]

hm ok

[void imp]

they'll probably look at it themselves if it'S gonna get pinned

[warm plover]

lemme add the disclaimer one sec

[wintry atlas]

Yeah you might find they ask us to wait until the 8th before it gets pinned

[winter solar]

Ready ive had filled the survey and registered on the page 😃

[main nymph]

Yes, documents or wikia need to be as transparent and clear as possible. NO matter how many disclaimers you put, people often can't think further and just think it's official content.

[regal swallow]

4 days till the next Q&A

[warm plover]

These are not official answers; these are simply the writings of an active community member who wishes to make information more accessible to newcomers. The answers and contents of this document are in no way affiliated with the staff of Palia or Singularity 6.

[wintry atlas]

Swap the order of the sentence in my opinion. Start with 'The answers & contents herein...'

[brisk ivy]

Think they're afraid of legal differences between borders, if the NA thing is true?

[bronze mountain]

next qa will be on twitch or where?

[warm plover]

probably just in discord

The answers and contents of this document are in no way affiliated with the staff of Palia or Singularity 6, These are not official answers, nor should they be conflated as fact; these are simply the writings of an active community member who wishes to make information more accessible to newcomers.

[bronze mountain]

ah okey so i will probably see it

[tepid fossil]

they don't stream the Q&A, but Nel will post the answers to questions in a batch

it would be cool to see a stream at some point though. that would be a good idea maybe closer to open beta

[wintry idol]

Hey everyone, how's it going?

[winter solar]

They do invites everyday or how does the thing works?

[warm plover]

ok i removed the north america thing and added a disclaimer

[regal swallow]

We don't know the invite schedule

[wintry atlas]

We know they missed my invite though eh 😉

[bronze mountain]

u probably don;t have to worry because its very early alpha and everything what was said can be changed in game

[wintry idol]

[bronze mountain]

i mean even if something was official it can be change later

[deft sonnet]

[warm plover]

ok unless something else has come up im actually gonna look for that hunting pic now

[vapid oxide]

chuumotes are adorable as hell btw

[void imp]

this is nit picking at this point but under "monetization" i would put "They're not ready to talk about that yet. I know everyone's excited to learn more about it, they'll make sure to share that information with everyone as soon as they're ready." instead of "we don't know" since that what they said in #❔│game-faqs
they also talked about crowdfunding there in case you want to look at their official response for comparison of your answer.

[void imp]

it must be from the trailer

[deft sonnet]

[wintry idol]

I agree

[bronze mountain]

tag me if u find it because im very intrested in it of course if u can

[void imp]

do you know about the stream they did?

[tepid fossil]

yes nomi
I'm talking about stream of a Q&A

[warm plover]

No; Singularity 6 has stated that they aren't doing any crowdfunding at this time.

Monetization?

Singularity 6 has stated that they aren't ready to talk about this yet. Please don't ask in the Discord. It causes an argument every time.

[wintry idol]

Oh, I thought someone was talking to me 🙈

[warm plover]

hows that

[bright forge]

Hi everyone!

[raw quarry]

Hi Perin

[zinc pond]

Hey ❤️

[brisk ivy]

Doing a wiki edit, @warm plover ?

[warm plover]

no editing some stuff on my doc

[regal swallow]

Hoiii!

[zinc pond]

I switched my identity to my online one instead of kiki

[void imp]

i like it, if you want to you can probably add that they are funded to calm people down

[warm plover]

hey perin and shrew do you know where that pic of the ingame hunting is? where someone has a crosshair and theyre hunting a deer? did i imagine that

[winter solar]

Kiki do u lov me? Are you riding?

[bright forge]

It's from the end of trailer I think

[warm plover]

Singularity 6 has stated that they aren't ready to talk about this yet. Additionally, Singularity 6 raised $16.5M in 2019 and another $30M in 2021.

[void imp]

so you're the former ghibli kiki? i hope you didn't change your discord handle

[warm plover]

ok let me look at the trailer

cause i know theres someone with a bow at the end of the trailer but i dont think the crosshair is there

[tranquil cosmos]

[zinc pond]

I didn't I just changed because I didn't want to impersonate someone and in game be my online persona. I didn't want to confuse anyone

[void imp]

oh oops i meant under crowdfunding not monetization xD

[winter solar]

I dont think the game will be pay2play because that 30m are going to be easily recovered

[void imp]

okay good :3 just making sure because a lot of people changed their discord number after sending the application

[raw quarry]

It's not, just checked again, don't remember anything about a crosshair outside of Q&A tbh

[zinc pond]

I didn't I just didn't want to be known as kiki, I just love the character and the movie ❤️

[warm plover]

No; Singularity 6 has stated that they aren't doing any crowdfunding at this time.  Additionally, Singularity 6 raised $16.5M in 2019 and another $30M in 2021 from investors, so they're probably fine.

Monetization?

Singularity 6 has stated that they aren't ready to talk about this yet. Please don't ask about this in the Discord. It causes an argument every time.

[bright forge]

Getting money back doesn't mean it will be free

[brittle delta]

that's why i never changed mine, even after having the option to with nitro rather have people be able to find me than have a fancy number code

[void imp]

👍 great job rin, appreciate the effort

[warm plover]

Ok I can't find this image so i'll update it if someone does find it
until then im just going to say that theres someone with a bow in the trailer

[brisk ivy]

Found it! @warm plover
#❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message
Oh wait.

[warm plover]

epic

We don't know yet. We did see someone with a bow in the trailer, though, and a character has been referenced known as 'The Hunter', which may imply a hunting skill exists. Details on this aren't clear.```

[brittle delta]

bows: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861244939513888788/unknown.png (1:33 in trailer)

[winter solar]

Ik lol i only talk stupd things dont have any idea of nothing

[warm plover]

ooh thank you

[brittle delta]

np

[brisk ivy]

Oh, I never noticed that backpack before.

[raw quarry]

Pollo is bestboi lmfao

[tidal bloom]

I hope Palia gets musical instruments and we can play in ensembles and bands

[zinc pond]

I hope so as well

[brittle delta]

figured the name wasn't important for the bow image

[warm plover]

thank you mag i added that image to my doc (if thats ok with you?)

frankly the names being there doesnt matter

[brittle delta]

ofcourse, if you need other images just lmk and i'll help look

[warm plover]

thank you

[warm plover]

i think it originally said "ApolloBestBoi" which i just think is an excellent username

[winter solar]

Yeah i would like to play epic music on them lol

Anyone is fan of rust here?

[zinc pond]

Well maybe one day we can all be in the inn singing some folktales and playing our instruments away

[brittle delta]

yes it was ApolloBestBoi https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861245749789720636/unknown.png

[void imp]

rin eshe is missing and you have an image twice on page 15/16

[warm plover]

how did i miss eshe

[winter solar]

Idk why but irish music came to my head when i saw the game lol

[zinc pond]

A lot of people are saying it's aussie due to the names I think

[warm plover]

patchnotes: remembered an old lady exists. fixed the mirror

[zinc pond]

Just all speculation I think though

[warm plover]

ok i fixed the things now

[zinc pond]

The name of the characters I mean

[void imp]

@warm plover #👋│introductions message hunting confirmed

[warm plover]

thanks

[zinc pond]

Rin just wanted to let you know that you're doing God's work for all of the newcomers that join this server and I'll be sure of it that everyone that reads your faq will find it helpful someway or another

[warm plover]

thank youuu please i just wanna be useful i have constant imposter syndrome hahahghahgahfajkesdfa help

We don't know yet. We did see bows and a character shooting a deer in the trailer, though, and Aidan of S6 has confirmed on Discord that Hunting is a skill in the game. Details on other forms of combat aren't clear yet.```

i added a screenshot of the trailer and of Aidan's message

[void imp]

fancy

[zinc pond]

No don't think that, you're one of the most useful and helpful people on this server

[brittle delta]

do you have a picture of neleimour with a bug net yet? 👀

[warm plover]

im going to hide now

mmmmm i dont have that but i dont think i can add it unless theres an 'official' statement or more than just an item being shown

[brittle delta]

fair

[warm plover]

hold on ill add it to the trivia section can i have that image

[brittle delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526122834385174529/861247169625456650/unknown.png here's the image in any case

[magic lance]

Nel off to catch bugs

[void imp]

she did mention bugs in that one tweet about alph things to do

[warm plover]

Fishing - Einar
Hunting - ?
Bug catching may or may not be a skill, due to a net being seen in the trailer

and then theres that pic

wow the doc is at 21 pages now
well its kinda cheating cause i used page breaks but still

[bright forge]

@warm plover I had a short brake from disscord. What are you doing right now?

[warm plover]

fixing up various things in my document :)

[brittle delta]

https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1400475396689207298?s=20

[warm plover]

ooh thank you

[bright forge]

What document may I ask?

[warm plover]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N61pu4gGNSrHTJ_UElbqk2FPl2QaN-hGJ3S5CYg4nzM/edit?usp=sharing

[zinc pond]

A faq for all newcomers to help them catch up to date on everything

[bright forge]

That's great idea!

[bronze mountain]

oh god i just found that pinned faq made by Vlad and there is a lot of answers about i didn't know because i wasn't checking pins

[warm plover]

yeah that one is wayyy more indepth than mine

mines just meant to be easy to check for new people who maybe dont want to read a whole thing

[bronze mountain]

@warm plover don't worry Rin give it time rome was not built in a day

[warm plover]

its ok i dont mind being less comprehensive

oh its also where im compil;ing all the art perin

oi you dont need to hug me for that
it's a document built for a different purpose

oi

[regal swallow]

May i Suggest sleep to you Rin?

[bronze mountain]

maybe your faq is not that big like Vlad but u are still my favorite furry on this server

[plain hound]

good morning Palia beings! how the most wholesome discord on my list is doing this morning?

[warm plover]

not until im sure theres nothing i need to fix

[brittle delta]

Morning~

[bronze mountain]

chcecking Vlad and Rin faq

[zinc pond]

Doing great and rin here is doing gods work but Rin also needs sleep

[tidal scroll]

formatting seems consistent, can't speak for any of the other content but looks great

[warm plover]

thank you :)

[bronze mountain]

@warm plover if u don't want go to sleep then go into hot bath with little squishy duck u can also work on your faq on phone

[warm plover]

easier on my pc

[bronze mountain]

but less comfy but as u wish

[thorny dune]

Working on a phone 🤢

[bright forge]

do you guys think the next wave will hit on 7th. I know nobody KNOWS the date but what do you think?

[zinc pond]

Idk tbh because nel said in the next upcoming weeks

[bronze mountain]

idk maybe with new qa

[thorny dune]

I think if there's not going to be a weekly wave, it might be fortnightly. But a weekly wave still means all keys won't be given out until August (at the current pace*)

[remote latch]

Theoretically sound if they do a group each week over the coming weeks. Or it could be the next invite group will be in the coming weeks. Hard to interpret that comment

[wintry atlas]

I think they're going to send the next 1200 together. Suspect they wanted 200 to get the discord up and running & check everything else works

[mint steppe]

My guess is they’ll see how this first wave works out?

[thorny dune]

Also, since testers don't even have their hands on pre-alpha yet, they might only start another wave of invites after the current people have gotten their hands on something

[bright forge]

If they increase to 300 at one time they will end sending until next month

[thorny dune]

That's a pretty good theory 🙂
I'm running on the assumption they're still only prepared for their initial projection which was a couple hundred applications

[celest maple]

So giddy out of excitement!

[mild wedge]

Good morning all

[gentle birch]

Morning!

[mild wedge]

And Happy 4th to those in the US!

[celest maple]

What about us in Europe? We can have a pretty happy 4th too! 😢

[zinc pond]

Morning ❤️

[dusty cargo]

Oh yeah happy beating us brits! 🥳

[tepid fossil]

I'd rather have them take extra time to prepare for the next wave. doesn't really matter in the long run whether that is in the next week or next month tbh

[thorny dune]

I like testing but I'm also in the camp that can just wait for a full release 🙂

[remote latch]

They might have used a small group to test the automated assignment process to see how it would affect discord. So they may need to tweak things if there were any severe issues during the process

[tepid fossil]

besides they have the advantage of releasing Q&A next week to stave off hungry people waiting for breadcrumbs

[brittle delta]

breadcrumbs milord 🍞 🦆

[gentle birch]

Ya I'm looking forward to this next Q&A. I hope they dive into more goodies besides the pre-alpha.

[tepid fossil]

don't feed the ducks!

[remote latch]

Ooh yeah hopefully some more details that they can divulge to confirm some of our theoretical ramblings or to give us ideas for some more
