[warm plover]

(what game did this become)

[wispy meadow]

DnD

[cold phoenix]

it's a critical hit

[warm plover]

I play my blue eyes white dragon in defence mode

[little silo]

We got so restless waiting for Palia, we made our own game.

[little silo]

I counter with Dragonborn Fos Roh Dah

[trail umbra]

DnC.. Dungeons and Chuus

[wispy meadow]

Pulls up my Gigantimax Lapras to fight

[lunar tundra]

Someone suggested an in game trading card system / Game, and that would be absolutely awesome.

[wispy meadow]

Chapaas and Chuus

[smoky radish]

What's up what's up everyone!

[little silo]

But C&C is already Command & Conquer

[warm plover]

Hi risotto

[next pier]

i've been telling everyone who will listen at work in our video game chats about this game hahaha

[wispy meadow]

Ch&Ch?

[smoky radish]

Tbh I wouldn't think considering the advancements that trading cards should really be a thing in game xD

[little silo]

Acceptable

[magic lance]

Should use the "unclouded eyes" rule and we all play as chapaa's

[warm plover]

now i want a palia discord dnd game
or minecraft server

[wispy meadow]

I use my air Chuu to counter the Earth Chappaa

[smoky radish]

Unless you're referencing Steam trading cards?

[shut marten]

YES.

[trail umbra]

DO IT

[unique compass]

Thinking of getting palia snacks

[serene arch]

Good idea!

[wispy meadow]

We can probably do a Palia DnD/roleplay at some point but we need a seasoned dm

[night kraken]

why not both?

[warm plover]

no way~ im not responsible enough to host anything like that yah?

[smoky radish]

OOoooh, Palia merch I'd totally buy that!

[trail umbra]

I'm seasoned. Like a steak.

[wispy meadow]

I want a an Einar plushie

[shut marten]

Yes to Palia DnD. Yes to Palia merch. Yes to everything Palia. Give me all the Palia.

[smoky radish]

I could totally agree considering the weather of where I am. I'm quite well seasoned

[warm plover]

Everything is a nature check

[violet stream]

nature or animal handling

[warm plover]

I roll to plant my pumpkins

[wispy meadow]

No no no
You forget the checks for romancing Einar or for creating potions

[somber crag]

Think of the plushies.

[smoky radish]

Bro.. DnD in Palia itself O.O That would be too wild

[warm plover]

imagine making a bard as a skill monkey and going all in on skill masteries and expertise

[trail umbra]

We could probably make those nature too. Giant, ancient golem? Talks about Oneness a lot? Def a hippie. Nature check.

[somber crag]

The plushie possibilities... oh my god. ✨

[brittle lance]

You sound very excited xD

[warm plover]

plushie

[wispy meadow]

Damn someone pls make a Palia DnD chat XD

[silent cairn]

Take my money.

[late hearth]

I’m dreaming about it now

[smoky radish]

MMmmmhm, honestly. 🤔 What if they featured a taxidermist in game too? Now that we're talking about plushy's

[warm plover]

it was mostly a joke

[somber crag]

As is her right! There are so many reasons to be excited.

[magic lance]

That what I mean Unclouded Eyes is DND 5e rule set based on the studio Ghibl

[somber crag]

LOL, not the kind of plushie I want!! @late hearth - And same, literally same.

[wispy meadow]

I know but I'm kinda desperate to play any kind of Palia at this point

[brittle lance]

Ohh I agree completely!

[warm plover]

i want a tau....

[somber crag]

Big same.

[wispy meadow]

Wait I need to check this out

[void imp]

i was about to mention unclouded eyes!!!!

[smoky radish]

Hehehe, plushy's in game would be a really nice addition though. Imagine npcs holding plushy's as they sleep or as they're chilling fishing

[warm plover]

einar has an einar plushie

[somber crag]

Decorating your home with then. c:

[silent cairn]

Also, hello Anner, PacManiac and Mintie! 👋 I've just been lurking from time to time, didn't see y'all appear

[late hearth]

I would have so many plushies, so many.

[warm plover]

puts 50 plushies on my bed
ah, just like real life

[somber crag]

'Sup, Sane! Hope you're doing well.

[wispy meadow]

I NEED IN GAME PLUSHIES ON MY BED LIKE I HAVE IRL AHHHH

[smoky radish]

Yeh, and in festivals there's like minigame to get the plushy's that'd be a good idea

[void imp]

also "the princess project" fairytale d&d

[warm plover]

im glad we all have a million plushies

[wispy meadow]

I only have two :')
Hard to have a million when I have to move rooms every couple sems

[warm plover]

:(

[smoky radish]

I'm still really up for the idea of underwater cave exploring. Not too many games do this kind of exploration, since I've been watchign a bit too much of Mr.Ballen's youtube channel of mysteries <.<

[wispy meadow]

Both are cats tho 😄

[celest maple]

What's the ETA for in game footage, or unveiling what mechanics will be in the game?

[silent cairn]

You as well. These next 5 hours and 40 min are going to feel like ages, so I'm glad to see familiar faces join in the wait

[empty chasm]

How many of y'all are hoping to use Palia for roleplay?

[late hearth]

I make plushies so I have wayy too many irl

[smoky radish]

There kinda isn't one afaik

[wispy meadow]

99.9999% of the chat

[steel kettle]

I mean I wouldn't use it exclusively for roleplay but it kinda feels like the perfect world ingame to do so

[warm plover]

I want to try rp in palia. ive never rpd in an mmo before

[brittle lance]

I also mostly lurk atm.
I feel like we have talked about almost "everything Palia" we can with the info we have. So I am very much looking forward to the Q/A answers later tonight 😄

[maiden gazelle]

Is the first alpha already open?

[silent cairn]

I don't really even know how to roleplay in MMOs. The most I can comprehend is like guild hierarchy and training stuff.

[wintry atlas]

I won't be rp'ing in Palia - So i'm interested to see what S6 are intending with Palia

[brittle lance]

Ohh it is SO fun!

[dusty cargo]

Same i think id feel a bit silly personally (I've never tried it tho!)

[celest maple]

Metagame for roleplay is different across games, we'll just have to be patient and see what'll form on Palia.

[void imp]

last we heard the 200 out of the 1400 that were already invited haven't started playing yet

[late hearth]

I’d be interested in rp, but probably won’t. I have a hard time comfortably rping in dnd

[wispy meadow]

AHH I LOVE EYES UNCLOUDED I WANT TO TRY IT

[jaunty granite]

Or have they….😬😉😆

[silent cairn]

that's very fair. I do really hope they might also include that question about whether us EU gamers are gonna get to play even if it wasn't asked in the previous question session.

[empty chasm]

I feel like Palia would be great for some really chill character-driven slice-of-life roleplay.

[smoky radish]

Hmmmmm, are they going to make it so all the people get to play at once or?

[maiden gazelle]

Ah okay.. I didn't remember what email I used, and saw the announcement, so I was just checking.. I really want to see what Palia will have to offer

[warm plover]

I wanna try
but i usually like shy characters so my rp will be 'doesnt talk to people'

[lucid ocean]

Tell them to send me their unused invites 😂

[warm plover]

If you haven't already, make sure to do the second survey in #📢│palia-news

[surreal crest]

so, what are you up to, Palians?

[tropic sand]

Sounds like a rp I can get behind

[maiden gazelle]

I did, I just dont remember what email I used on the first one, so when it asked for it again on the second one, I may have used a different one 😦

[jaunty granite]

Also, you won’t get an email, you’ll get a new role here.

[lucid ocean]

I didn’t get to complete the first survey thanks to my phone blocking the pop up but did the second one here!

[smoky radish]

Tbh, I'm not entirely sure if my second survey was sent out completely. But I think it did? Maybe the issue with writing too much didn't let me but not entirely sure

[warm plover]

Aw :( I think Nel said they had ways to connect emails but I'm not sure...

[little silo]

I'm back. We still doing RP?

[void imp]

you might be lucky if you used your pc: the browser remembers what you entered last time. click it or start entering your email. and have you heard of the second survey?

[warm plover]

Some of the testers have said that they actually did send out emails, just a little late
Not confirmation ones though. just ones telling you youve been invited

[smoky radish]

Oh? How could I use this personally. Since I'm on the fence about if mine was sent

[void imp]

we don't know

[brittle lance]

Anyone else feel like me and are unsure if you filled out the surveys correctly and want's to do them again, just to be sure? 😅

[maiden gazelle]

Yeah, I filled it up the same day the announcement went out for it. I'm hoping I used the same email both times.. I have separate emails for stuff, and I think I confused them 😦

[jaunty granite]

They sent out emails to people who got selected but didn’t yet sign the NDA.

[somber crag]

I know that underwater exploring in a game can be difficult, since it's a whole new part of the game that they'd have to create... but I am always so thirsty (no pun intended) for underwater exploring. Someone mentioned it a little bit ago, but oooo.. and imagining it in Palia's art style, oooooo...

[smoky radish]

Same here. I have different emails for certain things

[warm plover]

oh, i thought they just sent emails to everyone who got accepted
thats what i heard

[smoky radish]

Sammmeee! It was I Risotto who mentioned it!

[void imp]

in your case you'd have to try to remember if you were forwarded to a screen saying "thank you for participating" or somehting

[empty chasm]

It seems really weird to think of people using it for that.

[somber crag]

Yes, yes, yes. I just love water in video games. Always have been.

[wispy meadow]

Coral reefs, deep seas, the darkest depths of the oceans
I wanna play Subnautica now....

[smoky radish]

If we're speaking of a box that said the survey was filled I think I did get one

[warm plover]

oceans are scaaaary

[buoyant heath]

[magic lance]

Plus you have to swim around all those fishing hooks from other players

[smoky radish]

I agree. I've always loved my sea exploration, but as of lately I've been incredibly intrigued by people who've gone missing due to going diving places they shouldn't have

[maiden gazelle]

I really cant wait to play this game. Wether its on alpha, or full release

[somber crag]

They definitely can be, yes. I don't expect it to be like Subnautica. I'd imagine that Palia would be a little less scary, a little more beautiful.

[tropic sand]

I’ve always been fascinated with ocean life, so any type of under water exploration in video games is chefs kiss

[warm plover]

welcome back dad
cold any better?

[wispy meadow]

AHHH WHAT IF WE HAVE NESSIE IN THE SEAS? AND THERES A QUEST WHERE WE HAVE TO HELP EINAR BEFRIEND NESSIE?!?

[smoky radish]

Mhm, it won't be a thing of death kind of deal

[buoyant heath]

My medicine is kicking a bit

[somber crag]

LOL, then I would do it! I would complete that questline, absolutely.

[trail umbra]

Damn. Can the server have two dads?

[warm plover]

trust me theres more than two

[smoky radish]

Yes, many more

[warm plover]

seems like a lot of parents like palia

[smoky radish]

Mmm, kinda a rush to be jumpin in the chat like I did just having woken up lol

[buoyant heath]

So, so many more

[trail umbra]

takes notes on how to get into cool dad club

[buoyant heath]

Are you a dad?

[modern blaze]

i may not be a parent but this game gonna give some good feelings

[little silo]

Is it a dad or just a live decoy dad-bot?

[somber crag]

Can I be in the dad club if I am not a dad? c:

[void imp]

whoa @somber crag what is your banner from?

[rose cedar]

I am the Grand Dad.

[trail umbra]

3x's over.

[smoky radish]

[warm plover]

dad how many kids do you have? was it two?

[smoky radish]

So how's everyone's day been thus far?

[empty chasm]

Einar gives me such Ghibli vibes... I just might develop a crush on him.

[void imp]

90k

[little silo]

Ive managed to waste most of an hour on the clock chilling here w you all.

[warm plover]

thats so many

[smoky radish]

Heh, I wouldn't say it's wasted if you enjoyed the time. Nothing's wasted as long as you enjoyed it

[little silo]

My boss would.

[buoyant heath]

I'm biologically responsible for two.

[wispy meadow]

Work hard for the remainder of the clock?

[smoky radish]

Oh hahaha, of course the boss would. They're on the business side and serious

[little silo]

But... no.

[silent cairn]

Get boss to play Palia.

[wispy meadow]

Get boss hooked XD

[smoky radish]

Show they about the discord and have them join ;p

Convert everyone at work over!

[little silo]

Returns moments later well guys I have PLEANTY of time for Palia now...

[magic lance]

Same here..... That I know of.....

[smoky radish]

Yush, now they understand!

[little silo]

Nope, am fired

[smoky radish]

Yeh, that's how it typically would be unless your job is literally about games or youtube

Oop, now it's thundering outside. Crud, power or net might go out at some point

[little silo]

I'm partly in charge of Internet security. Games and YouTube are two of the things im supposed to keep out of the work place <.<

[somber crag]

I'm telling on youuuu. You're having too much fun talking about Palia.

[smoky radish]

I really hope it doesn't qwq. I wanna keep talking and playing games. Ya, that's understandable

I wonder how the system for cultivating wild honey or otherwise other wild eccentrics in the wild will go 🤔

Time to play Adopt Me on Roblox!

[little silo]

I'm just hoping for a good crafting system and decent lore exploration

[hasty niche]

Hey o/

[little silo]

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

[smoky radish]

[void imp]

you can do it! use your imagination

[little silo]

Been playing DS3 again lately, I really love how they deliver lore in that series.

[void imp]

[void imp]

[smoky pewter]

c:

[void imp]

[wispy meadow]

Trying to fall asleep even tho I was an idiot and drank coffee a couple hours ago

[smoky pewter]

pretty good so far, thanks ^^

[late hearth]

What time is it dropping?

[gentle birch]

2PM PST

[void imp]

[smoky radish]

I still eat hot stuff tho i'm not supposed to

[smoky pewter]

[lunar tundra]

But for some reason I keep checking every 20 minutes anyway.

[wispy meadow]

Eat ice cream

[warm plover]

:o

[alpine jackal]

When does this game release?

If there is a release date for the alpha that is

[rose cedar]

2 years or so. not more than 3 years

[buoyant heath]

[smoky radish]

Nahhhh, don't need it

[little silo]

Nothing official

[alpine jackal]

Aye aye thanks

[smoky radish]

I love spicy food c:<

[rain crescent]

Pre alpha or alpha?

[wispy meadow]

@rain crescent
Blep Doggy!!! ❤️

[hasty niche]

remember there is a second survey in game-annoncements

[alpine jackal]

Sorry I meant pre-alpha

[alpine jackal]

I'll check that out

[rain crescent]

[gentle birch]

~200 out of 1400 invites for the pre-alpha went out so far.

[wispy meadow]

It's fun to stay in the Y....

A

[smoky radish]

I miss the old days of playing Roblox

[modern blaze]

lol

[wispy meadow]

Do you think Palia will have a giant mushroom area? Kinda like Tanglewood in Pokemon but in the switches from day to night and the mushrooms change from normal browns and stuff to glowy depending on the time of day in game?

[late hearth]

God I hope so

[somber crag]

That sounds so magical. I love giant mushrooms and glowy forests.

[wispy meadow]

I know right! I love glowy forest mushrooms and glowy jellyfish in seas
They just feel so magical 💕

[warm plover]

do you chop down the mushrooms like trees

[wispy meadow]

Hm... Maybe? You get a special Mushroom wood that you can build with
XD

[little silo]

No you eat them out of little plastic baggies

[rose cedar]

I want a shroom house...

[void imp]

tree sized mushrooms end world hunger

[small hinge]

Happy weekly hype day! Hope I can sneak off from work at 2 >_<

[little silo]

Man I work till 6...

[surreal crest]

Im about to finish my shiftttt ayeeee

[wispy meadow]

I just remembered the mushroom forest in Journey to the center of the Earth

[surreal crest]

I work till 7 (: sometimes till 10

[small hinge]

Whoaaaa nice!! Your gunna be stylin if you can replicate haha

[surreal crest]

Im making Milky on heroforge

[lunar tundra]

Official release date is not announced, likely "Less than 3 years" we don't have a timeline on phases, but the first pre-alpha wave was chosen last week. 200 testers have been chosen so far, 1200 more will be chosen in future waves. the next wave is expected in "coming weeks"

[small hinge]

Really hope we can get insight on how the the rarity of resources looks like, stone copper iron ect

Also your making a goat humanoid…?

[warm plover]

satyr...?

[wispy meadow]

Goat Simulator new mod

[alpine jackal]

Thanks

[gentle birch]

🥛 might have a plot full of goats if we get to do some animal husbandry.

[buoyant heath]

I hope it's there in some form

[wispy meadow]

I want bunnies! I want to run a bunny ranch!

[gentle birch]

I certainly am hoping. Nothing shown in trailer, so only the info to go off of in the unofficial FAQ.

[autumn thorn]

I NEED BUNNIES!!!

[warm plover]

sheep bunnies

[autumn thorn]

raindeer bunnies!

[wispy meadow]

Bunnies with reindeer horns would look so cute

[little silo]

Jackalopes?

[void imp]

[small hinge]

Worpletingers or whatever?

[wispy meadow]

YESS JACKALOPES!

[small hinge]

Man I remember the day I found out reindeer were like real… I was definitely a adult by then…

[void imp]

i like the ferret with tiny wittle horns from inkheart

[warm plover]

time for me to try eso out (and be in character customization for two hours so i cant refund it anymore)

[void imp]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay let me know if you need help

[warm plover]

o you play??

[void imp]

no but i think you once said you're usually not happy with the way your characters turn out?

[warm plover]

o, right

[trail umbra]

Oooh ESO I played that back in the day

[little silo]

I spent 2 hours in character creation in Dark Souls, just to have my character stuck in a full faced helm the rest of the game...

[restive marsh]

Hello, everyone!

[wispy meadow]

2 hrs Character creation is the norm lmao

[tropic sand]

Why I love games that allow me to hide my helmet

[restive marsh]

Was it a cool helmet? Absolutely worth it in that case!

[little silo]

I mean knights helm is cool I guess

[warm plover]

theyre usually not cool helmets 😔

[wispy meadow]

The only head gear I like to wear in games is the flower crown

[warm plover]

ME

[void imp]

on my paliasona sheet 😤

[wispy meadow]

I'm imagining a DnD sheet but customized for Palia lol
Instead of the combat stats you have stuff like
Musical talent
Fishing
Animal Husbandry/Friendship
Botany/Farming/Nature
Potion making

[warm plover]

play a bard and get all of those at proficiency with musical talent at expertise

[brittle delta]

hello friends

[main nymph]

Botany would be a better word, I think?

[wispy meadow]

I forgot that word lmao
That's why I used that
Lemme make the fix

[tidal scroll]

omg tysm. didn't know i needed this

[warm plover]

nomi youre so powerful

[little silo]

Well. Im gonna go hide in the server closet and take a nap till lunch time.

[tidal scroll]

have fun

[wispy meadow]

Sleep well!

Anyone know what time comes out the answers on #❓│old-team-answers-alpha ? I thought I already read it anywhere but cant find it again thanks

[arctic onyx]

[empty matrix]

nev the waterspirit sent that message to me and then i remembered edna had asked for some :D

[arctic onyx]

same here

[arctic onyx]

took the most refreshing nap known to man

[empty matrix]

[empty matrix]

I got swimmers ear and it got infected. Real fun stuff

[arctic onyx]

[warm plover]

Bethesda is short for Bethany Esda

[tribal shuttle]

[empty matrix]

I wake up every 3 hours to take some advil

[arctic onyx]

that sucks, get better soon homie

[pseudo pasture]

Thank you very much

[warm plover]

server select
na or eu
maam

[empty matrix]

thank you c: its feeling a bit better now, but it gets kinda unpredictable, if that makes sense

[dusty cargo]

Feel better soon

[wispy meadow]

Whyyy
Why can't there be Asian or Pacific servers that aren't only for China 😭

[warm plover]

we live in a society,

[silent cairn]

dang. I've heard that really hurts. Hope it ends soon!

[wintry isle]

hello friends

[dusty cargo]

Hi duck!

[maiden wagon]

hello!

[wispy meadow]

I slightly resent when games don't have Asia Pacific servers....
It's not like we don't have more than 50% of the entire world population in that area..... >.>

[night kraken]

I ikr, like give me a under 200 ping for once

[arctic onyx]

i have a lot of friends that live in SEA and MMOs just neglect that region for no reason

[main nymph]

Itwas due to internet speed and availability for awhile but that's not as much of an issue view

[arctic onyx]

times have changed tho

[warm plover]

cant wait for palia to not have an oce/sea server

[arctic onyx]

yeah it's either one or the other, i've seen in games 😔

[wispy meadow]

Maybe we can ask devs for at least 1 server in that region? Just 1?

[warm plover]

just one 😔

[main nymph]

Inb4 people complain about majority na getting pre alpha. Oh wait @warm plover

[warm plover]

😔

[buoyant heath]

Everybody is allowed to be a bit sad about factors outside their control causing them trouble

[night kraken]

True. I mean whilst its almost certainly the case that only really na could get in, people will always doubt themselves instead. Can't fault them for feeling bad

[shut marten]

such a fatherly and heartwarming comment

[wintry atlas]

It would be damaging initially for non-NA members in here to discover they weren't going to get in; i do hope S6 are able to provide a roadmap / Gantt chart / bullet point list, whatever it is, (with no dates!), just to stress that it is their intention to get to testers in from various regions.

Take ownership, address it & then let us handle our emotions around the decision.

Unless of course the rumours about EU players being in already is correct - then ignore the above 🙂

[midnight radish]

I’m having a massive brain fart. How do you check what roles you have again? Mobile iOS

[wispy meadow]

Click on your pic
Then see the roles on the pop up

[main nymph]

Click your profile picture in chat

[patent dust]

on mobile tap your pfp in chat

[midnight radish]

Thank you. Like I said. Brain fart thank you

[wispy meadow]

Tis fine 😊

[somber crag]

Brain farts are a normal part of life. c:

[midnight radish]

Especially lately lol. Time has lost all meaning

[surreal crest]

wait what

[wispy meadow]

Time is a human construct. We are the only ones who run our lives by a clock

[somber crag]

Someone said they had a brain fart when asking a question, so I was just saying they're a normal part of life. c:

[void imp]

hi panda 👋 🧃

[patent dust]

o/

[warm plover]

you guys tap your profile pics on mobile? i have to hold it..

[void imp]

i'll try to be productive for a bit and eat, see you for the q&a at the latest

[wispy meadow]

So uhh
I think I killed my Google chrome
It whited out and now it won't open but it shows theres a tab open
But I can't open it

[shut marten]

tell that to every pet that's hungry and wants dinner

[tiny otter]

happy Q&A day !!!!!!!!!

[wispy meadow]

Pets are used to following human time.
Wild animals just go out to hunt/forage/graze when they get hungry

[heavy dew]

@warm plover it's here

[warm plover]

[heavy dew]

For all of you excited about Q&A ^

[wispy meadow]

OMG THAT IS SO CUTEEE

[shut marten]

but pets doooo know time, they dont know its 6 pm but they sure know its dinner time

[dusty cargo]

My animals always knoe when it's dinner time and bed time 😂

[tiny otter]

do we know when/how they are doing the Q&A ?

[wispy meadow]

Like I said, they get used to humans filling up the food bowl at that time, so they know when it is. I did say pets know human time, but not wild animals. They move by the sun or moon depending on their species.

[brittle delta]

in about 4 hours 20 min, they will upload answers to some of the questions asked in a period between 10th and 24th of june (iirc)

[warm plover]

420 nice

[tiny otter]

niceeeeee

[brittle delta]

u staying up rin?

[mint steppe]

On break. How’s everyone ?!

[brittle delta]

Hey Tophi! Doin alright, how about you?

[mint steppe]

Good! Thanks. I have a good feeling things will be looking up.

[brittle delta]

that's good to hear

[sand barn]

more emotes mah gawd

[mint steppe]

[sand barn]

[heavy dew]

Am I allowed to be in love with it?

[sand barn]

I don't see why not

[heavy dew]

I've waited all day to make it my pfp xD

[mint steppe]

That is the cutest!! I want one IRL.

[arctic terrace]

[heavy dew]

Me too D:

[somber crag]

The little cheeks...

[wispy meadow]

Best pfp ever @heavy dew

[upbeat cape]

Yes cute

[mint steppe]

I really cannot look at that food channel. It’s too darn delicious.

[random rampart]

(internal screaming)

[small hinge]

Exquisite! I’m pressed up against the glass myself!

[heavy dew]

I felt it was fitting before Q&A with everyone up against the screens

[tiny talon]

Sorry if you guys have already talked about it I'm just at work! Do we know what time we are gonna get more #❓│old-team-answers-alpha

[hollow bone]

Q&A timesss

[safe fern]

2PM Devs time (PDT)

[regal swallow]

Eeeeee Q&A

[mint steppe]

So when I get home from work. Haha

[tiny talon]

Thank you ! :)

[safe fern]

Hope you have a good shift

[small hinge]

I hope villagers partake in some of the activities like fishing and foraging just as part their day to day, like seeing Einar fishing and like 10 people are just plopped around him also fishing

[brittle delta]

that'd be neat

[safe fern]

They definitely have their own lives that they go about with, that's gonna be fun to see

[brittle delta]

i wonder if they have a different schedule depending on the day or if it's the sae every day

[small hinge]

I hope it’s interesting enough like stardew, where maybe the NPC’s also have some crushes and spend certain days around certain NPC, cuz they said other NPC’s may get jealous or upset if you get too friendly with another NPC

[brittle delta]

i hope so!

the trope of everything in the world revolving around a player at all times just doesn't work that well in mmo's imo

[mint steppe]

Gotta get back to work! I’ll check out the answers when I get home.

[brittle delta]

good luck at work!

[stone sierra]

Yeah, like in WoW nowadays everyone is the mighty hero who saved the world like 3 times

Even the new player

[brittle delta]

and every single one of them has a incredibly powerful relic that only a few of exist 👀

just doesn't make sense

[celest maple]

How are all the Palians doin today

[stone sierra]

Yup i loved classic for that adventurer feel to it

[vapid oxide]

lol watch you can marry one of the main NPC's but like only 1 player can do it on the entire world

[stone sierra]

Mighty good pal, and you?

[brittle delta]

i'm sure that won't be a thing either

[vapid oxide]

don't crush my dreams, im marrying a golem

[stone sierra]

Just get used to me getting into your home to give Einar pebbles

[brittle delta]

im not crushing your dreams now you might be able to romance them even if you weren't the quickest there

[silent cairn]

yoooo, it's Mag!

[brittle delta]

Yoooo, it's Sane!

[silent cairn]

I literally just finished my little script with but seriously, a big thank you Mag. He was the real MVP in this and I probably would have confidently walked off a cliff in-game, if it weren’t for him fixing my map. and then I see you here.

[brittle delta]

i just hope it's (kinda) correct

[silent cairn]

same. I did find some discrepancies in the player house location though, but I think it's the best we're gonna figure out.

especially considering there's a high chance that stuff in the bg was moved around so it would look good for the scenes in the trailer, haha.

[celest maple]

Don't hurt me like that lmao. I'd cry

[celest maple]

Just chillin and checking up on y'all lmao

[warm plover]

ye

[odd star]

[warm plover]

[cobalt adder]

@small hinge I agree. I wish for I living world where things can happen without you. NPC's who like you and NPC's who don't like you, kina like those early animal crossing games

[somber crag]

Oh, I'm silly. I thought the Q&A was happening at 2pm EST... but alas, no. It's 2pm PT... which is 5pm for me, and I'll be home from work. Liiiitty titty.

[brittle delta]

Ooh so you'll be able to make it! nice

[somber crag]

Yes, yes! Also - hiya, Mag.

[brittle delta]

heya

[celest maple]

[warm plover]

yayyy

[somber crag]

Roughly five hours from now, there will be a plethora of new things to discuss concerning Palia. Hell yeah.

[heavy dew]

Litty, titty, huh? I see, that's pretty neat

[somber crag]

LOL, listen... I used to say it ironically.. and now I don't. c:

[small hinge]

I’ll be working until 6 ahhh I’m going to log back into discord at like 3 and 10000000 messages of pure

[heavy dew]

That's usually how trends start xD

[surreal crest]

ahhh home.

[wind patio]

wut

[novel bobcat]

Sup

[surreal crest]

Q&A incoming

[wind patio]

ah, ill most likely be asleep

[rose cedar]

maybe a little, I do not expect much until the nda is lifted.

[somber crag]

I'm just hoping they'll be able to cover a little more ground! I don't really need anything groundbreaking, but even a seed of information is kinda fun to speculate on!

[somber crag]

There's a Q&A session happening at 2pm PT!

[jagged otter]

Ooh shit

Damn I'm be at work still :c

[dim oxide]

Evening ❤️

[short thorn]

I slept in for the first time in a while, hi all o/

[brittle delta]

Hey Emmy Hey Matthew

[heavy dew]

Are you READY though?!

[late hearth]

I am not mentally prepared

[little laurel]

helllo

[brittle delta]

3 hours left!

[storm pebble]

oooh ;o

[brittle delta]

hello

[marble comet]

what is happening after 3 hours?

[surreal crest]

Q&A!

[brittle delta]

the next team answers goes up, answering some questions that have been asked by the community from june 10th to june 24th

[marble comet]

oh nice

where is that taking place?

[deft sonnet]

yes

[novel bobcat]

I think in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha

[brittle delta]

should be in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha yes

[marble comet]

nice, thanks

[novel bobcat]

anytime 😄

[deft sonnet]

Who is hyped?

show me your Einar!!!! if you are hyped

[arctic onyx]

my expectations are low, cuz the last answers were kinda vague

[marble comet]

I am super hyped, really want to get into Alpha haha

[heavy dew]

I mean it's pre-alpha, can't be to specific when nothing is decided

[wintry atlas]

I hear ya - But they also hopefully won't be repeating themselves. So at least it's new answers.

[novel bobcat]

It's still good to hear from the staff tho

[heavy dew]

^ agreed

[rose cedar]

they may, people ask the same questions that have already been answered.

[heavy dew]

They won't answer those again, they'll just direct people toward the already existing FAQ

[short thorn]

Oh I dunno what I'd be asking during the QnA, so you guys have fun tho!

[cobalt adder]

Answers will always be vague. They need to manage the hype train. While No Man's Sky is good now, it got savaged upon release because the community bought in to their own hyped expectations

[wintry atlas]

Well this is part of it all - They say the Q&A is a WIP, we can provide feedback on whether we like repeated answers / vague answers etc. To an extent it's useful to hear.

[brittle delta]

not quite correct, the devs straight up lied in that case

[novel bobcat]

We should appreciate the FAQs. The devs could give a sh*t on it's community too and just don't do the FAQ

[brittle delta]

yee love the involvement

[short thorn]

Yeah I really like that aspect that the devs are wanting to be involved with their community haha. Also hi berry o/

[heavy dew]

It's WIP how they go about the Q&A, but the answers we won't be able to affect, it's vague for a reason and it's not to keep us coming, it's to early in development, and they're involved in the community on a daily basis. If they were to say they'd like to add something, it's gonna get taken as a guarantee, hence, vague until determined

There's also an entire pinned document with ask the team answers in this channel to look through

[warm plover]

maybe i should watch she-ra while i wait for q&a to drop

[somber crag]

As ready as I'll ever be! I'm excited, definitely. Also, sorry for the late response - boring work demanded my attention.

[heavy dew]

Don't have to apologize for working, a reply is a reply and I'll take that any day!

[arctic onyx]

personally i'd rather see nothing than have vague answers, just my opinion tho

[heavy dew]

I'd recommend the pinned document then! it's very straight forward

Or wait, until at least beta

[brittle delta]

while they obviously cannot say some things for certain since it's all in development, they've been fairly straighforward with their answers i feel

[somber crag]

I guess I don't have a strong opinion either way, honestly! I don't mind going with the flow of change, and being apart of the general discussion as things shift and develop. It definitely comes down to personal preference, for sure.

[vale crypt]

[heavy dew]

Definitely applies to me too, I'm not to fixed on anything

[ember onyx]

a

[void imp]

the questions have been asked already :3 and they might just post the answers instead of doing a stream, last time they just posted the answers.

[wintry atlas]

it's more you can't have it both ways. Set expectations fairly - You can't say we get answers from the devs in the discord and then also say they don't answer Q&A. Completely agree we shouldn't expect any game details at this stage

[short thorn]

Ohhh okay! Dankes!

[heavy dew]

Oh no that I get, luckily they do answer Q&A to the best of their abilities

[celest maple]

hi everyone

[brittle delta]

heya~!

[vapid oxide]

your super important question is draw distance? O_o

[heavy dew]

I mean the trailer was ingame engine so hopefully they keep it the same?

[brittle delta]

hey whatever catches your interest hope the trailer visuals will be kept, or maybe even get better over time!

[haughty monolith]

Well accoring to question in post with gif, i think it is giant coconut statue. Symbol of... (someone take it away)

[heavy dew]

coompanion..ship..?

Did I do it @haughty monolith ?

^ 100%

[brittle delta]

i still think it's einar's egg

[rose cedar]

it is the remains of a lander module.

Palia was colonized

[fringe minnow]

Finally back!

[haughty monolith]

@heavy dew I think its name should be majestic like official title of queen Elizabeth, companion sphere is good start! 😃

[trail umbra]

hai frands

[lucid ocean]

I really like that so far it seems like they want to reward being involved in the game but not punishing you for taking a break. At least that’s the mindset I picked up from the answer about needing food/sleep. I don’t need another “grind endlessly or fall behind forever” kinda game!

[lunar tundra]

I hope they make it into the final game too, it's such a cool ambient mood.

[short thorn]

If it's geared towards super casual players too, that'd be great!

[thorn fiber]

it looks great i am excited to try it out

[novel bobcat]

As weird as this may sound like , I hope this game won't be f2p , all f2p MMORPGs I've played were too grindy and also included many micro-transactions and were really P2W.

[arctic onyx]

i mean there is an ingame gif of einar in #🌠│official-art and the render distance doesn't look that great

[heavy dew]

Hiiii @lunar tundra

[vapid oxide]

the monetary system of game isnt directly result of playstyle though

thats just what they had in mind when they designed it, the fact palia hasn't announced theirs means its still up for debate which means they are focusing on developing the game properly first which is awesome

[lunar tundra]

Hey Sir Berry! Lurking around while waiting for Q+A lol

[heavy dew]

Rightfully so!!

[heavy dew]

Agreed, honestly their focus is where it best could be, on development and community interaction

[novel bobcat]

Well , since the games I've played didn't make any revenue they needed to add micro transactions ofc inorder to keep the game alive

[vapid oxide]

so you got 2 diff styles of "grindy games" ,they were designed to favor microtransactions and encourage players to perform them to keep up with the game, basically designed to make money with low mechanics, see: 90% of all "free" mobile games

and the other type is one where they are just trying to fund a dying game more often than not

[cobalt adder]

Community interaction is fine. I hope they truly commit to a vision then get bogged down by trying add things to please people who are just vocal. Feature creep has doomed many a great idea in gaming.

That being said, I still want an apiary 🐝

[novel bobcat]

I hope it doesn't end like Fortnite ...

[small hinge]

Just sat down for lunch… if we could move that Q&A up by 2 hours thad be greaaat.

[vapid oxide]

dont compare an MMO to a pubg clone lol

[short thorn]

First emote we get is a fortnite dance in palia

[heavy dew]

You stop that right now

[short thorn]

I'm sorry 😂

[trail umbra]

Heckin.. rude

[heavy dew]

[arctic onyx]

i hope the game gets a fortnite crossover, battle bus home would be hilarious

[rose cedar]

they both have gliders. 😆

[small hinge]

I’ve seen some telling things from early development… nothing but faith at the moment for S6. As long as the investors don’t force the team into anything they don’t agree with

[lunar tundra]

Yeah, keeping things in scope is essential to actually getting things released, but hopefully they have an iterative plan to keep adding more features/content after the initial release.

[marble gazelle]

Hi

[small hinge]

Hiya!

[marble gazelle]

Very good How do I know if I have been admitted or invited to pre-alpha?

[novel bobcat]

I meant from the view of the community interaction XDDD

[small hinge]

Fill out second survey in #📢│palia-news and then if your picked you will have a tester discord role

[heavy dew]

You'll be able to see pre-alpha channels on the left and got an NDA emailed to you

[celest maple]

hi

[heavy dew]

You don't get a role until you've signed the NDA so role checks and what not dont work

[surreal crest]

which reminds me...
.

[heavy dew]

[hyperventilating] StOp WiTh ThE DoTs iT DoeSn'T WorK

[small hinge]

The speculation is Tester role, then NDA then Pre-alpha tester

[unkempt ruin]

When tests are going to start

[small hinge]

No one can say

[heavy dew]

TBD -

[brittle delta]

[somber crag]

[shut hinge]

.

[surreal crest]

.

[somber crag]

Genuine question.. why do people do the "." messages in chats? Like... what is the purpose? I'm genuinely asking.

[bright forge]

A pebble!

[shut hinge]

So they can click on their names

[brittle delta]

so they can click their profile and check their roles

[cobalt adder]

Oven only been in the Discord for a day+, but I've read stuff, including the FAQ, regarding PvP. I really hope they stay away from that type of violent mindset. In most MMO's PvPers are a vocal minority. There are games that cater to that, I'm hoping Palia will stay far away from it

[heavy dew]

RoLe CheCK - trying to see if they're in alpha, cause people can't read @somber crag

[somber crag]

Oh! Thank you, LOL.

[shut hinge]

Pvp is violent mindset?

[vapid oxide]

you realize pvp includes like...snowball fights and cook-offs right?

[small hinge]

Even if PVP did become a thing, it will be optional and nothing is locked behind PVP content

[surreal crest]

cook-offs, lol

[verbal schooner]

I am master Chef

[small hinge]

Huh, so you are lol

[heavy dew]

It's a mostly NON HARMFUL ENVIRONMENT that could have pvp aspects, but not your traditional CoD slaughter it if it moves PvP

[shut hinge]

Also they probably do the dot because you used to be able to see if you had the "tester" role during the initial launch

[wintry atlas]

And it would be an added on feature from their original vision (in so far as i can tell from their messages), so don't expect the game to be using anything new / fresh / potentially even exciting.

[fringe minnow]

The worst i could see in here tbh, are wooden weapon battles

At least for pvp

[vapid oxide]

and you could get something cool like martial arts bouts

[short thorn]

Would cook offs be based on your current cooking mastery because that'd be unfair to people who want to join but aren't as skilled as others may be.

[vapid oxide]

or magic duels, use your imagination :p

[small hinge]

Wrestling match 🤼

[heavy dew]

Rock fights with Einar

[short thorn]

OH. LARPING

[shut hinge]

If the game ends up being hugbox the mmo I'll probably end up getting bored. I'm all for a soft and cozy game but I do hope there's some actual difficulty built in somewhere or I'll snooze.

[small hinge]

I’m sure competitions would be level playing field

[heavy dew]

I’m sure it wo.. what @small hinge said

[short thorn]

Could do Larping in Palia, just a huge community event with styrofoam swords and armor, and just bop each other on the head as pvp

[vapid oxide]

rofl in-game larping, larpception

[wintry atlas]

Nothing to reply to you on - just 'Hugbox the mmo' - I'll remember that one haha.

[small hinge]

Making my house into a laser tag/casino

[shut hinge]

bye felicia or whoever posted that and then deleted it

[heavy dew]

Am I invite?

[brittle delta]

i'd think there's a minimum character skill level required for entry, though after that it's player skill at a level playing field like SuperScope said

[shut hinge]

Did anyone else see that message or am I having visions again

[small hinge]

The password is pressing your face on the glass

[heavy dew]

Oh I’m IN!

[brittle delta]

[surreal crest]

we can have both

[shut hinge]

I wonder if you mention playing the game and have the alpha tester role your message get's instantly deleted

[small hinge]

So they said servers will be smaller than we imagine, but houses instanced and what not, so it would make sense you can at least see friends cross server in housing but I really want like… infinite people to meet not just limited to the server I choose…

[cobalt adder]

Yes, I should clarify I mean beating on each other with weapons, snowballs are fine ❄️

[small hinge]

Vampire I have no idea what your talking about lol

[shut hinge]

Someone posted that "They can't wait to get off work and play" and they had the palia pre alpha role and then the message vanished in 2 seconds.

[charred oar]

any news on the pre-alpha (from those who made the cut)?

[short thorn]

Lol, make a Chuck E Cheese in Palia

[bright forge]

Interesting observation...

[bright forge]

I saw that too

[short thorn]

I wouldn't look too much into it, I think it was just someone trolling, and deleting their own message in a short amount of time to confuse everyone

[small hinge]

Oo what if it’s like sea of thieves where there’s multiple overlapped layers of the map, and other server players just phase in and out of your layer to keep it bustling everywhere you go

[quick torrent]

That would be trippy

[shut hinge]

I'm not exactly bothered by it I was just wondering if they have a bot or not cause I could use that tech lol

[small hinge]

Really doubt you could automate that with a discord bot lol, but who knows! Thad be spoopy

[heavy dew]

Saying that isn’t even against the NDA though

[small hinge]

You don’t know that

[shut hinge]

You probably could honestly I've seen some whacky programming with discord bot.

[brittle delta]

if there's a message that's not allowed like a big spam message i think it gets deleted, at times ive seen those ascii art messages pop up for a split second

maybe there's a word filter on it too

[shut hinge]

It's likely it was someone trolling I just found it fascinating that it vanished that quickly though I've done that before myself as a joke.

[heavy dew]

Everyone knows the people with that role will be playtesting, I’m assuming you don’t involve crap in an NDA xD but you’re right, I don’t

[shut hinge]

You can know someone is playing it but they might not be able to tell you when.

[fringe minnow]

There's no need to speculate, the bots are not hidden, they're below the moderators, they have to be online in this channel to work, if there are no functions in those bots, he just deleted it himself

[heavy dew]

^

[shut hinge]

There's always reason to speculate what is with this chat and deciding what is and what isn't worthy of speculation.

[small hinge]

Well the difference was the testing hasn’t started yet supposedly, and this guy said that he can finally play today, meaning if it’s been under wraps about actual testing then that could be a concerning leak

[fringe minnow]

I'm seeing a 100% of "Oh heck i wasnt supposed to say that" and just deleted it

Why risk your own NDA

[small hinge]

Lol we will never know, and that’s ok

[shut hinge]

Yes probably but I'm not sure why it's bothering you if people want to speculate about bots

[heavy dew]

It’s not worthy of speculation because it’s brought up constantly and it’s just an NDA and just a game and just a pre-alpha, if you wanna talk about it just scroll up and read it’s all said already

[shut hinge]

When your name is green I'll accept you telling me what I can and can't talk about

[heavy dew]

Fair enough

[wintry atlas]

It could also be said person didn't intend to post in the Palia discord at all.

Agree with Sir Berry though, i don't personally feel this needs further speculation

[charred oar]

I just got confused, I've seen Asmongold playing pre alpha on YT so I thought there wasn't and NDA

[shut hinge]

It could be aliens

[void imp]

for a second i thought you meant lime green and got really confused because vampire is cool

[small hinge]

Lol

[heavy dew]

Good meme

[charred oar]

no, he was just reacting to a video about it, nevermind

[shut hinge]

Probably the trailer or like a speculative piece on it

[shut hinge]

I wouldn't be able to tell what green anyway I am bad at colours

[fiery gale]

hello paligang

[brittle delta]

Heya~!

[shut hinge]

I can't be in a gang my mum said so

[void imp]

i wonder how many npcs with a lot of dialogue there'll be

[brittle delta]

i hope plenty!

[shut hinge]

By the amount of villagers in this one village I'd say a bunch

[cobalt adder]

I've been in numerous closed beta tests, but only one Alpha, and that was for only 3 days before it went into closed beta. In my closed beta experience a 'wave' will sometimes be tasked with testing a certain feature and look for issues and bugs. If anyone here has an alpha test history can they share what is 'usual' about them?

[void imp]

[dancey dancey]

[short thorn]

Passing by NPC

"Let me guess. Someone stole your sweetbread"

[small hinge]

Well if building relations to a point of other NPC being jealous there must be quite a lot of rapport you can build and dialog you unlock as you gain favor

I hope the villagers stay super relevant as you progress and not only have to rely on trade skill master players

[void imp]

gasp and you can be friends with them, mayb eyou can become friends with more than just the romance options!

[vale crypt]

🌯

[trail umbra]

I feel like I need to be in a neighborhood now

[silent cairn]

woah, what the hell. So many people from the dev team are online, it doesn't even fit my 1440p screen.

[trail umbra]

Doin that prep work

[void imp]

@hot otter they'll post answers to old questions tonight

[void imp]

whooaa

[bleak kraken]

I'm so excited for this game! I cant wait to try it out hopefully!

[warm plover]

become friends with einar

[void imp]

hi cautomaton!!

hi alpha papa 😄

[hot otter]

ooohhh exciting!!

[surreal crest]

hai nomi!!

[void imp]

hi chair <3

[trail umbra]

[hot otter]

also hello nomi 🙂

hi connor 🫂

[brittle delta]

30 S6 members 👏

[surreal crest]

👏

[trail umbra]

The true MVP's

[small hinge]

Band together! We can take em!

Cool stuff seeing everyone online like that, lotta names I’ve never seen… hoping AlphaPapa will adopt me tbh

[tall cosmos]

I read in the announcements channel that is already having Pre-Alpha, how is it selected who participates?

[buoyant heath]

Every year, all Dads battle for the title of Alpha Papa

[trail umbra]

Only one can claim the title.

[brittle halo]

do all the runners up get that "best dad ever" mug?

[brittle delta]

By doing the 2 surveys you enter to be picked for the pre-alpha. so far 200 people out of 1400 have been selected, with more coming over the coming weeks ( ), not much is known about the selection process

[quick dove]

they already selected the alphas, we are now betas

[buoyant heath]

You think we buy those ourselves?

[heavy dew]

Yes?

[brittle halo]

man I'm not even a parent and those things still just appear in my cupboard

[safe fern]

So that's where you get them from

[tall cosmos]

Got it, I answered a survey available on the site, how do I access another?

[brittle delta]

the second one is right here #📢│palia-news message

[surreal crest]

lmao I'm fighting with myself every time to not tell my gfs dad "you know, she calls me daddy too"

[tall cosmos]

thx

[buoyant heath]

I double checked and found out that you are actually correct

[brittle delta]

np good luck friend

[heavy dew]

Woho!! I won something!

Only one worse is “best boss” cause you know they bought those themselves, and if they didn’t everyone will think they did

[deft sonnet]

you won the best Sir Berry award in this discord

[void imp]

my parents didn't have to buy them 😎 though the one mug wasn't enough so one year my dad really discreetly sent me something cute handmade on ebay with "best dad" on it, in time to order it to arrive on father's day

[brittle delta]

[peak jetty]

send best dad to your husband to tell him youre preggo

[buoyant heath]

One of the top five Sir Berry's I've met.

[heavy dew]

Wait.. does it come with a mug?

[surreal crest]

my colleague has a mug with "Boss of this gym" instead haha

[deft sonnet]

Sure

[heavy dew]

That works out better.. get it? Cause.. workout?

[solemn wharf]

boo

[surreal crest]

nope, cause gachimuchi :D

[heavy dew]

I’m not cool enough to know what that is

[jagged bluff]

So many S6 in here today lol

[solemn wharf]

daheck is an S6

[buoyant heath]

Must be having a party

[solemn wharf]

oh never mind I need coffee

[vapid oxide]

s the name given to the sub-culture of adult movies that involve muscular males wrestling in an "adult" manner

[heavy dew]

I was gonna say when aren’t they here but then I checked and that’s a lot of them

[solemn wharf]

Maybe they're having a discord meeting

[heavy dew]

Could be meeting about compiling all the answers for all of you!!

[void imp]

they just took the time to collectively play mind games on us

[brittle delta]

not seeing any testers in any chat..

[tall cosmos]

hey guys, this might be weird or even funny, but will the game have a relationship function? like those animes that characters can marry within the game and stuff like that <(＿　＿)>

[vapid oxide]

not weird its possible

[heavy dew]

Oh boy will it

[surreal crest]

well... I once read a comment that said it's something you just can't explain to your normie friends.
It's a story about a gay porn actor, but he was much more than that. He was wholesome, he interacted with his fans (not in the sexual way lol), he was LOVED by Japanese internet. He was just precious.
Sadly, he died March 2, 2018 in a car accident [*]

[buoyant heath]

@tall cosmos I think they've mentioned that quite a bit

[heavy dew]

Romancable I believe is the term used

[brittle delta]

i think player x NPC was confirmed, player x player was not

[buoyant heath]

romances Sir Berry

[void imp]

ah not players among each other, no marriage either. you can date npcs! but the devs made it sound like maybe they'll have marriage and player relationships in the future or are thinking about it at least

[surreal crest]

it's not super effective

[buoyant heath]

is not surprised

[heavy dew]

Oof, chair of truth more likely, my only weakness is puns…… and knives.. knives too

[dusty cargo]

I would love player marriage

[brittle delta]

ANSWERS

[void imp]

ITS TIME ALREADY

[surreal crest]

in tf2 heavy voice not big suprise

[tall cosmos]

it would be interesting if it could be between player and player and not just player and npc

[brittle delta]

@warm plover ANSWERS

[surreal crest]

IT'S ON!!! ANSWERS!

[void imp]

ah because nel has to send them all i see

[deft sonnet]

ooeeeh

[buoyant heath]

@warm plover GO TO BED (also, answers)

[deft sonnet]

Q&A is on lesgooooooo

[warm plover]

OH!!! WHAT??

[tall cosmos]

I marked the wrong message

[void imp]

dadjokes sending mixed signals

[warm plover]

ok time to read

[tall cosmos]

by the way guys, if my english is bad, forgive me, i use translator

[vapid oxide]

seems fine 2 be mich

[warm plover]

Hi @ Rentalorgan#6621,

There will be a lot of choice to be had in your home’s design, including the exterior. Additionally, wherever the system is at launch is just the beginning and we expect the player base will help us decide which new housing customization features we’ll prioritize first.```
this is an entirely unrelated answer

[surreal crest]

yes, should we ping Nel?

[warm plover]

...maybe?

[void imp]

i say let her finish it she'S probably highly concentrated

[surreal crest]

I dm'd her, should be enough?

[warm plover]

That being said, there are a few tech issues I need to work through before we do another stream. Contrary to popular belief, I do have a voice and it would be nice to not spend a whole stream writing backwards on a whiteboard.
pfft

[tall cosmos]

I didn't understand what you meant .-.

[fringe minnow]

Ah yes, nel's whiteboard

[vapid oxide]

your translation seems fine

[fringe minnow]

A classic

[deft sonnet]

hahah i felt this

[distant oar]

I failed at my copy paste, it's been remedied!

[warm plover]

Yayyy thanks Nel

[brittle delta]

Thanks Nel

[warm plover]

btw nel if you do wanna turn the q&as into a blog post i won't complain 👀

[deft sonnet]

i am just wondering if the pre alpha will be US only

[tall cosmos]

oh I get it now, hehe Google is useful sometimes

[deft sonnet]

sadly not answerd but we will wait and see

[warm plover]

more stuff to read = more to sink our teeth into 🍴

[brittle delta]

at the point the questions were asked the alpha invites werent sent out yet so there wasnt much thoughts surrounding region-locks(if that term applies)

[deft sonnet]

true

[woeful frigate]

3rd Person or isometric? The answer is YES

[cobalt adder]

The author of question#5 should be commended. Well phrased to get an accurate response

[wintry atlas]

The answer to question 2 is interesting. Probably one of the first things i hope they're able to show off to help sell the feature to us

[deft sonnet]

Oeeh new questions guys ask them noww

[scarlet iris]

When will we actually get some insight in gameplay?

[woeful frigate]

Yes

[scarlet iris]

Yes? I was looking for an actual answer 😄

[brittle delta]

Currently all the testing will be done under NDA, so you wont be able to get information or footage from testers. We do not know when S6 will release more information regarding gameplay to the public

[scarlet iris]

Thanks for reply

[wintry atlas]

Ooo we have to wait longer for our answers next time as well.

[fiery gale]

Here is what we pre-alpha testers can tell you

[floral cypress]

I didn't want to leave you hanging

[woeful frigate]

How do you do empty posts?

[fiery gale]

i just googled "empty character copy paste" and copy pasted it from google lol

[fiery gale]

yeah i really like the part where you said

[woeful frigate]

Those are some good points, actually

[heavy dew]

I approve

[peak escarp]

Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone is having a lovely day/night!

[surreal crest]

you can actually go fully invisible on discord

[surreal crest]

mornin'!

[summer skiff]

Is murder illegal?

[shut hinge]

Not if you sign up to fight the good fight ol boy

[void imp]

no health bar, no character death

[small hinge]

Unfortunately very few questions enable us to theorize past what we already expected, gunna be a quiet week I feel

[civic fjord]

😦 hello

[void imp]

at least we get a character reveal tomorrow

[small hinge]

I like the confirm that solo play is viable but co op will be in some cases better

[buoyant heath]

I mean, murder is the name of the crime - if you kill someone illegally, that's what murder is

[small hinge]

I think we know enough about the game to not even entertain the thought

[void imp]

imma go read all the answers again brb

[deft sonnet]

i hope we also get to see ashura tomorrow as a gift

[heavy dew]

Poor Ashura

[small hinge]

Haha bonus reveal!

[deft sonnet]

probably not

[fiery gale]

thats assisted suicide and still very illegal in most regions

[small hinge]

Trial by combat

[brittle delta]

let's not get further in that conversation, not the place

[civic fjord]

@flint light 🐤

[heavy dew]

I think topic change is in place

[wintry atlas]

I mean we got a fair bit of read between the lines too,

2 answers on story / lore, 1 answer emphasizing that gathering & building is a core feature, , 3rd person camera

Sets the tone of what to expect

[heavy dew]

I concur!

[small hinge]

The QA doc covers a bit of that

[wintry atlas]

We know they want to do streams as well - so that's another source of info down the road.

Although Bungie isn't someone i think of as having great community relations

[safe fern]

Yeah, glad my nightmare of Palia being in isometric is now unfounded

[heavy dew]

haaaaaa

[lunar tundra]

I like that they are still allowing for a meaningful Solo experience. Even though I am very much looking forward to playing with all of my new friends, there have been times in my life, where grouping up, or interacting with others in a game in meaningful ways were either difficult, or made me rather anxious.

I'm glad that our more shy / anxious friends will still be able to enjoy the game.

(Also, they posted early but I was in a meeting! Catching up with chat now lol)

[surreal crest]

gardening is more chill when done alone imo

[brittle delta]

hey Tardis

[wintry atlas]

Yeah absolutely, it felt like they were emphasizing that with their core features in mind, you can do it either solo or as a team. Some will be more rewarding in a team.

[lunar tundra]

You don't want "Who can water the crops faster" competitions? /s lol

Yeah, some activities are nice to just put on some music, relax, and chill out on your own.

[surreal crest]

oh no no, if you are up to compete, please do find someone to do that, so I can set up bets!

[lunar tundra]

You can set my campfire on fire, but not my house please, lol

[heavy dew]

I want who can bake the best pie competition, however that'd work

[celest maple]

Baking competitions are swell and all, but the -most- fun are the eating competitions. 😄

[small hinge]

Quick heads up, if your submitting a question your locked for 2 hours from submitting again, so make it count

[heavy dew]

I lose all of those cause I end up enjoying the food to much and savor it

[wintry atlas]

Please not those 'How many hot dogs can you eat competition'.

Us Europeans prefer quality food, not quantity 😉

I don't think we should be joking about heart attacks in here, thanks.

[brittle delta]

Colbai, this is Palia chat, can you please not keep going to these topics

[lunar tundra]

Oh sorry, how many hotdogs locally crafted sausages can you eat competition

[heavy dew]

Much better xD

[wintry atlas]

Bravo, well played. 0 because you made me laugh too much

[worn oracle]

Hello :3

[brittle delta]

Heya~!

[fringe minnow]

This lore thing is intriguing, i'm looking forward to the palia book in 4 years

[heavy dew]

Good name, I approve, it's my favorite!

[worn oracle]

same! i make a really good one 😄 thank you

I dont chat here a lot but I figured it might be ok to come out of the bubble and say hello

[heavy dew]

You'll have to invite me over in Palia for some dessert

[worn oracle]

Dessert for all 😄

[deft sonnet]

i would love some cremeBrunee

[heavy dew]

[worn oracle]

wait....Creme Brulee you mean right O - O

[tidal scroll]

i love eating creme brulee but it upsets my stomach :(

[deft sonnet]

uhuuuuu.....😅 suree😳

[heavy dew]

IT's okay.. I'll eat for you too

[worn oracle]

Is it the dairy??

[tidal scroll]

yeah, the dairy

[small hinge]

It is the dairy 😦

[lunar tundra]

And I do like that the camera is 3rd person so we can always see our (hopefully) awesome outfits.

[tidal scroll]

milk proteins to be specific

[heavy dew]

Oh no not you too D: I'll eat one for you too then?

[worn oracle]

D: im a taken dessert im afraid :3 but I will bake for all in Palia

[small hinge]

Oh man I can’t wait for some awesome third person screenshots of the gang!

[surreal crest]

I ate pizza few days ago and I thought heartburn would kill me

[worn oracle]

Im going to be learning how to make one with a coconut milk base :3 if it works I will share the recipe

[empty matrix]

I think it will be third person, I think it will look a lot like botw

[celest maple]

Hopefully there's an in-game blowtorch for that perfect Brulee!

[wintry atlas]

I desperately didn't want it to be first person from the trailer & images we've seen so far.

Definitely feels like the correct choice as a gut feeling.

[deft sonnet]

ah oki i have 3 of those then

[vapid oxide]

they answered alraedy, its third person view

[brittle delta]

they've just answered in team answers that it's 3rd person

[small hinge]

Lmaoo I used to laugh at tums commercials… now it’s the first thing I pack 😦

[lunar tundra]

I hope they take up my "camera" suggestion so we can "print" portraits of us and our friends and hang them in our houses.

[small hinge]

I’m sad we got no more info on inventory or crafting….

[deft sonnet]

yeah you need to give all your pebbles to Einar, its the law

[heavy dew]

I'm sure it'll come when it's more determined and tested ^^ @small hinge

[brittle delta]

pebbles for einar 🪨

[patent adder]

Excuse me 👀

[surreal crest]

oh you are online! Im still working on it, gimme sec . 3 .

[deft sonnet]

guess they are not ready to reveal anything about that

[small hinge]

Reeeeeee I must know!!!! As someone who has played like.. all the crafting games, I wanna know what they mean by “something other games shoulda been doing”

[worn oracle]

Is anyone stuck at work and wishing they can be gaming ): das me rn

[brittle delta]

HI MILKY 🥛 how you friend 🥰

[void imp]

those fell like the kinds of things they've told the testers they wanna surprise us with so we go in blind without expectations

[icy cedar]

Anyone happen to know how hard the game will be to run? Im stuck to a laptop so Im hoping Ill be able to play it

[celest maple]

was working from home until about 5 minutes ago. 👍

[patent adder]

I'm okay how are you doing🥰

[small hinge]

I respect that tbh, but is wanna be one of those first people… lol

[worn oracle]

): how is it to be back

[brittle delta]

Glad to hear im doing good thank you

[vapid oxide]

they haven't posted minimum requirements yet, largely likely depends on what all they end up implimenting n-game

[celest maple]

They mentioned the requirements will be "low"

[safe fern]

I wonder if #2 means the main questing stuff is going to be crafting things for the NPC's?

[buoyant heath]

You don't even need a toaster to run it. Just some toast will be fine.

[vapid oxide]

hopefully low means = you dont need a really good gaming rig to play but you can slider up to one that can handle the stress for a more graphically amazing experience

[celest maple]

WFH means always having Discord running in the background 😆 Didn't miss much!

[wintry atlas]

It is the missing part from any of the answers isn't it.

Why do any of this except to just chill & relax.

[worn oracle]

oh xD mb haha

[void imp]

couuld also be about crafting furniture and house updates like a chicken coop

[lucid ocean]

Hopefully it scales like (for an example) Farm Together. I have it running at 1300x900 super low settings for a laptop with integrated graphics, but also play at 4k 60fps max settings on a desktop and it scales pretty good!

[surreal crest]

can you stop?

[vapid oxide]

^ this

[heavy dew]

Just pretend he doesn't exist, you're feeding him the attention he's so desperately deprived of

[safe fern]

Yeah hopefully this too

[surreal crest]

I guess.

[heavy dew]

You mean.. you too never close discord?

[empty matrix]

booba

[small hinge]

It’s over done and your close to being muted or kicked, proceed at your own risk Cobai

[celest maple]

Up and running on the laptop and the smartphone. I don't like to be out of the loop... 😩

[heavy dew]

Some serious case of FOMO too huh?

[tropic sand]

Feel that. I do be lurkin a lot

[celest maple]

Had to look that up. Yep. Drives my wife insane that I have notifications on for my emails.

[small hinge]

I just want to invite villagers over like Sims style haha

[brittle delta]

would love that

[surreal crest]

steal their stuff 👀

[patent adder]

👀 🐐 so be careful

[heavy dew]

Now that's a good final question

[patent adder]

Gottem

[celest maple]

A bit underwhelming if I'm honest

[small hinge]

They knock on my door, I’m already lock picking theirs! Muhahaha

[brittle delta]

because milky is amazing worth looking at

[surreal crest]

LMAO XD

[patent adder]

Awh🥰

[small hinge]

I have to tap your name every time to see that gif Milky, it’s second nature now

[celest maple]

A diversion!

[tropic sand]

Tis very cute

[somber crag]

I get being a lil' disappointed by the lack of information, but like... patience. They're gearing up for pre-alpha testing waves, and there's probably a lot of stuff they want to have people play through first before they address it. I'm glad they care a lot about lore.. uuugh.. I can't wait to dive into the story side of things. Meep, meep, meep.

[heavy dew]

It's even cuter when milky gets milk and cookies on every message

[patent adder]

Awh thanks you both. I can't wait till Q&A

[surreal crest]

oh it's done :O

[heavy dew]

Boy do I have news for you, the answers are in

[brittle delta]

they posted it early! it's all here and questions are open again

[livid notch]

When it hurts looking at sneak peak of the games cuz u dont have Access to it yet...

Yet

[patent adder]

Oh what my brain is tiny. I just woke up🥺

[brittle delta]

good morning sleepy brain

[small hinge]

The questions being asked tho have been covered well enough in the first Q&A… I fear re answering those will bury new info

[soft bay]

welcome to the world of the living Milky.

[patent adder]

Oooh. Where can I see☺️

[surreal crest]

#❓│old-team-answers-alpha

[patent adder]

Thank you☺️

[tropic sand]

I do see some questions that have basically already been answered in the pinned FAQ

[mint steppe]

Just got home and read all the questions and answers!

[brittle delta]

noticed a lot of questions are also kinda shallow yes / no type of questions

[small hinge]

Exactly, like good info but… that doesn’t spark discussion lol

[thorny dune]

Milky and I waking up at the same time is just a coincidence 👀

[silent cairn]

yeah, I was hoping for more, but oh well. Here's to hoping for the next invite wave soonish.

[small hinge]

Hmmmmmmm

[patent adder]

Shhh.. 👀

[shut hinge]

A lot of questions have no choice but to be yes or no tbh because we don't really know enough to ask super deep ones yet.

I just asked about representation research cause that's important to me

[brittle delta]

oh i didn't mean your question at all, you have formulated yours wonderfully to be more open ended and give room for a broader answer

[shut hinge]

Oh I didn't think it was against me more just saying why questions might look simple atm. I'm saving gameplay questions for when we're shown some gameplay because then I can ask questions that are more personal to the game.

[brittle delta]

fair

[shut hinge]

Cause tbh atm they can't really reply more than vaguely about that stuff and it's only going to frustrate whoever asked I think.

[midnight mantle]

Yeah, accessibility is mentioned in the FAQ but not a lot about it. Wanted to get more info on that since that’s super important

[heavy dew]

Hi Tophi!!

[mint steppe]

I think the answers were insightful as we got to know a little more about the team itself and what's coming. We have to keep in mind we're in early development. We have to start somewhere! There's always something to look forward to.

[mint steppe]

HEY!

[shut hinge]

Alpha q and a's are always going to be disappointing for most people cause most people want to know everything at once. It's just human really.

[celest maple]

Yeah, people are excited. Can't blame 'em.

[dusty cargo]

🖖

[mint steppe]

Haha. Yeah! I was expecting a little more, but better than nothing!

[brittle delta]

Hiya!

[heavy dew]

and because it doesn't involve instant gratification, it involves waiting, and patience, something there's less and less of

[shut hinge]

Yeah that's just due to the internet giving us everything at our fingertips really. Internet really do be promoting instant gratificaiton.

[midnight mantle]

I’ve learned patience working tech support in the past… definitely is needed

[wintry atlas]

All very good points @shut hinge . Just to everyone generally, do remember that for some people who like to get info about the game, we now are only aware that the next set of answers will be August 12th - So there is a little bit of hype "kill" (disappointment) for lack of a better word because of the length of time.

The merits of patience need to be counter balanced with the release of trailers, images & Q&A's. You can't have hype without questions.

[heavy dew]

OH dear lord, there's patience and then there's working as tech support..

[midnight mantle]

Very, very true hahahaha

[shut hinge]

I used to have a macro for "have you tried turning it on and off."

[vapid oxide]

75% of all tech problems resolved with a proper restart

[shut hinge]

I only did Tech support for a very small window but it was soul destroying.

[midnight mantle]

I don’t mind it in person but phone tech support is… oh god

[heavy dew]

it's that and working in retail, the LEAST you need is patience

[tiny talon]

Oh wow the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha came early! Time to read

[mint steppe]

I lead a team of 10 and I gotta say my one worker decided to put in a work order for a lamp that wasn't working. It turns out it just needed to be plugged in.

[shut hinge]

Mine was all email thankfully because I was only dealing with people in company.

[celest maple]

I manage a help desk...it can be trying

[weak sluice]

Also food service...

[heavy dew]

yeah.. lets just conclude all service jobs*

[midnight mantle]

People are always like “oh you’re so patient how do you do it” and I’m like… “you definitely aren’t at all the worst I’ve helped”

[small hinge]

Turtle is stirring in his sleep rn

[shut hinge]

What turtle doesn't know can't hurt them

[heavy dew]

hahaha, "you're so helpful and patient" frantically tapping desk - "mmhmm"

[celest maple]

I've done food service, retail, and help desk...maybe I'm just a masochist 😅

[shut hinge]

I can't wait to be a soul crushing ceo in Palia.. there now we are on topic.

[midnight mantle]

Me too… me too…

[weak sluice]

Same. 😐

[dusty cargo]

The worst is when it's not even ur job to help but because you're the youngest you *have" to help with tech issues

[heavy dew]

I think you are O.o I've done retail, hotel reception and car workshop, all had.. interesting clients

[celest maple]

I imagine there's a ton of us in here.

[weak sluice]

I just want to garden in Palia on the days it's too hot to do my actual garden... supposed to be 113F this weekend. Morning water then hide in the AC the rest of the day.

[heavy dew]

O.O hundr..an.. okay then

[weak sluice]

Yep...
