[celest maple]

also, Matt exudes crazy Chad energy -- in a good way 😄

[warm plover]

team based pvp is scary~ what if my team yells at me for fucking up? that kinda thing is scary

[vale spire]

He does! In like, the best way!

[weak crypt]

Lemme guess. You are going to camoflague as a chuu, beg for fish with huge, cute 👀 and then go to your restaurant, prepare marvelous dishes, which you sell expensive?

[raw quail]

yes, this

[cerulean axle]

I do love my pvp in terms of apex and like that's it? Well ok i do play the occasional league game once a month but toxicity is too much for me

[warm plover]

I have to agree I think Matt is a chad

[stark quest]

Jumping on the Matthew is cool so far train.

[alpine trout]

fishing contests, cooking contests, heck contests on who can grow the biggest vegetable, all sorts of competitions they could have

[celest maple]

😊

[warm plover]

League is hard, Valorant is hard, Apex is hard~ I'll just chill in a corner
Games are meant to be fun anyway

[placid roost]

Yeah the ire from teammates can actually be more stressful than being killed by the enemy in pvp

[raw quail]

nooooo, I'll buy your fish for a fair price, go back to my restaurant, make marvelous dishes and sell them for an even fairer price! I'm a businesswoman!

[stark quest]

I would prefer maybe a tiered reward system over a leaderboard system though...

[weak crypt]

Dont forget ☕ brewing contests!

[cerulean axle]

Yeah definitely I feel that most people forget that in pvps, yelling at each other in mic or writing bibles in chat. I never understood it. Just have fun ❤️

[alpine trout]

ooh who can brew the best cup of coffee!

[cerulean axle]

I mean what's the point if it isn't fun anymore?

[raw quail]

Chapaacchino! 😄

[alpine trout]

laughs

[warm plover]

The instinctive response in games like League seems to be to yell at your teammates
Well, I'm sure some people think that's fun... I don't want to be associated with them though

[weak crypt]

Now that I would buy!

[placid roost]

I started cold brewing coffee lately, so nice on a hot day

[delicate nimbus]

its more just frustration, no one likes to lose. competitive people just let it out in bad ways

[celest maple]

I feel like Palia will be my homeground for when I don't feel like being competitive. I've always wanted to play a multiplayer game sim á My Time at Portia and Stardew, but with a more relaxed MMORPG feel as well.

[cerulean axle]

You can have restaurants?

[stark quest]

🧪

[warm plover]

We're praying for it

[cerulean axle]

I'd love to have a little shop I'd die for it ❤️

[raw quail]

I hope so! Because that's what I'm planning 😄 Welcome to The Bonfire! A cozy little restaurant nestled in a beautiful neighbourhood. We prepare food only with the freshest produce, the best fish and freshly hunted goods!

[delicate nimbus]

ive actually gotten my first league account banned due to me being toxic, however i learned my lesson and now i just yell it out irl instead of typing it very angrily to them

[void imp]

yeah matt you're not alone :3 you have kindred spirits in that regard (not me but i hear that again and again :D palia seems to fill a hole)

[warm plover]

Btw for you new people, here's a fun game for you! Try to guess the age and nationality of the people you're talking to (if they're cool with it)
Because you'll be wrong most of the time lol

[raw quail]

good tactic! No need for yelling in Palia tho I think :3

[zinc steeple]

how old am i

[warm plover]

25

[cerulean axle]

When it comes to league or any other game I've never been toxic, unless you count just replying "thank you" to people which just pisses them off more hahah

[vale spire]

I'd love for someone to guess such for me.

[delicate nimbus]

well yeha ahahaha

[zinc steeple]

+9

[raw quail]

except yelling at Chuus stealing your poduce

[warm plover]

...32? im just throwing numbers out there at this point

[delicate nimbus]

just in perpetual yelling

[zinc steeple]

34 lol

[vale spire]

We're 29 this year, haha!

[warm plover]

wow i was SUPER off for you Jek
and i was off for you too Vann :pensive:

[celest maple]

I remember actually being quite toxic, even though I didn't really express it as much as I would've liked. Working out relieved all that tension, and I've never really flamed in a competitive video game after that. 😊

[silent cairn]

Rin this is a bad game because the nice thing to do is always guess 21

[raw quail]

guess me too! 😄

[stark quest]

😐

[zinc steeple]

lol not too far off

[vale spire]

It's okay hon! You weren't too far.

[warm plover]

I used to be a bit toxic in a passive aggressive sort of way, but I think I've mostly grown out of it. From time to time I still get frustrated though, and I have to clamp down on myself so I don't do anything stupid

[stark quest]

Not sure how I feel about people guessing my age. But then, I suppose it's not such a weird thing here where I'm not basically the old lady of the server like a couple others I'm in. 😩

[vale spire]

Oh same.

[zinc steeple]

i never played league. i was a dota man myself

[void imp]

oooooh rin maybe you thought i'm 16 at some point because you actually did something more impressive and sensed my favouritte number!

[zinc steeple]

the O.G moba

[warm plover]

I'm scared of guessing too high a number for someone's age, but honestly in this server someone could be anywhere from 18 to 60 and noone would bat an eyelash

[celest maple]

People always either overshoot or undershoot my age for some reason. 🧐

[warm plover]

whoa... im psychic

[zinc steeple]

everyone always guesses i'm younger than i am haha

[cerulean axle]

maybe you guys can guess me, my profile picture gives a hint but not really hahah

[warm plover]

I'm gonna guess you're... 22 and from... Finland says a random country

[zinc steeple]

i look young apparently

[thorny dune]

#💬│off-topic-chat 🐢 👀

[cerulean axle]

same man same

[celest maple]

Finland's close, and 21! 😁

[warm plover]

Sorry toastyyyyyy

[cerulean axle]

yeah lets move guys

[thorny dune]

Y'all gonna catch his fins if you're not careful

[silent cairn]

I just imagine RIn cheating and looking up the #👋│introductions post for every person that asks, haha

[warm plover]

pfft

[spring rivet]

or #🎮│other-games please pals, thanks for understanding! 🦆

[stark quest]

This is the tendency for me...

[zinc steeple]

i even still get id'd haha

[stark quest]

I apparently don't look all that different from some of my teen photos in photos of me within the past few years.

I don't take many pics these days, so... have to extend my range of 'recent'. 😩

[void imp]

mikki they're talking about all that in #off-topic now

[bright forge]

Speaking of age do you think we will be abble to make ours character look old. Not just simple gray hair but posture and wrinkles ?

[warm star]

I would love that 🤞

[warm plover]

that would be amazing considering how big the demographic is

[stark quest]

I'd like the option.

I want to see variously aged Palian humans running around.

[magic lance]

Like have to lie-down after farming due to a bad back.

[warm plover]

different facial features and skin colors and makeup options as well
theres usually like, one Obligatory Asian Face in games

[regal swallow]

Happy timezone!

[void imp]

aw man :0 all that guild building in the pre-alpha channels

[bright forge]

Or beeing that op farmer grandpa that makes crops grow by theyself

[warm plover]

nomi became a psychic somehow

[void imp]

i'm a bit "afraid" that the humans only recently appeared and are all around the same age but yes petition to normalise old player characters

[warm plover]

Man it would be neat if they let you choose your age at character select
so if youre an Elder you can ostensibly romance other Elders but Young Adults aren't gonna be interested

[jagged otter]

Morning yall 👋

[cerulean axle]

morning!

[regal swallow]

I'm just a Pal surrounded by my Pals here no worries

[deep yoke]

I would die for a Grandma to make me baked goods while all cozied up in my cabin TT-TT

[warm star]

I've been picturing in my head being an old chicken farmer (or whatever birds they'll have), just having tons of birds/chickens and one pet cat that keeps watch over them all. Eggs for everyone!

[vale spire]

I still need to join a neighbourhood

[void imp]

reminds me of what they did in travel uh the one you're excited for by the might somethingstudio

[shy ocean]

I would love having different cosmetic ages for our characters, but I wouldn't like it to affect the gameplay

[warm plover]

ill take my neighbourhood planning slowly~~

[stark quest]

This is something I was thinking. Give the NPCs various preferences around it too or something to make it easier or more difficult to romance them, if at all.

[regal swallow]

Take your time

[warm plover]

might and delight?

[void imp]

is it book of travel??

[vale spire]

I'm tempted to ask to join y'all, or ART. Because like, I mean.. I'm an artist after all.

[warm plover]

I don't want it to affect gameplay either, I just think it would be weird being me, 19 years old, and seeing the village matriarch is a romance option
so locking those to ages feels like it would make sense idk

[worthy rose]

Good morning

[regal swallow]

I got asked to join ART as well. But wanted to open myself up to more Pals

[warm plover]

yayaya book of travels

[limber spade]

Hi everyone ^^

[vale spire]

No one's actually asked me to join any yet!

Also, good timezone!

[warm plover]

I'll do neighbourhood stuff slowly... I've never found a guild in a game that I've ever really clicked with before

[void imp]

blasphemy

[stark quest]

Join mine. 🙃

[regal swallow]

You are invited to PAL if you want

[cerulean axle]

If I do end up making one youre all welcome! ❤️ im an artist too btw!

[regal swallow]

Aww I was late

[void imp]

ooh yay more artists

[stark quest]

Back off. They're part of my pack!

😛

[cerulean axle]

oh you too? ❤️

[regal swallow]

Okie

[stark quest]

Hahaha! I had to. ^_^

[warm plover]

do i count as an artist
im like blaarfbhhh never does anything

[stark quest]

Invited, not obligated. The usual. =3

[vale spire]

Haha! 💙 I'd be glad to join any, though! I've just been being helpful from the outside .

[void imp]

look at the pins in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art, we did weekly challenges and simuel, who had the idea, put them all together into a weekly pic 🥺

[vale spire]

100%. We're like, Schrodinger's artist.

[warm star]

book of travels made me think of photo albums which makes me wonder if there will be gadgets like cameras that we can capture our adventures/exploration with. snap a pic of a cool place or activity you did and have a journal to keep it all in. maybe even a goal to get pictures of certain places or things?

[limber spade]

there are so many artists in our community its great :3

[void imp]

you're a musician silly

[warm plover]

yeah but i dont do anything

[regal swallow]

The artists have beautiful art. Also I love the lurkers here too. Hello Lurkers!

[stark quest]

Sounds like me, who hasn't done much at all over several years. x.x

[bright forge]

As a member of QoL if someone want to be part of friendly community that helps everyone feel invited

[limber spade]

I also hope for some nice hidden places with beautiful views

[stark quest]

I should probably make a tag for the Wolf Den... Or Wolf Pack? 🤔

Like... [AWOO] or something. 😂

[void imp]

but you could, you have the ability so you can identify as artist :3 even if you'd just wanna do it but you can't afford lessons for example, if it's in your heart it's true and real. such is the nature of art.

[regal swallow]

Last night I was invited to QOL. Then I almost got executed by the Queen for spilling the beans on her wedding with Panda

[void imp]

whoa

[vale spire]

Oh nooooo

[bright forge]

What?

[stark quest]

😐

[regal swallow]

I'm an endangered Shrew

[craggy niche]

Yo

[vale spire]

We'll protect you, Shrew. Dw.

Also, I'm currently on a drawpile, drawing! I've been a little nervous about posting a link in art for people to participate though.

[cerulean axle]

imma check rn! ❤️

[regal swallow]

Thanks!

[stark quest]

I'm... going to lay down and only use my phone for some mobile games if I use it at all now. Later, guys! Goodnight/morning! poof

[vale spire]

Night, Mikki!

[cerulean axle]

I mean ive met hair dressers that identify as artists so to each their own? ❤️

[regal swallow]

Brilliant Shinmerflies!

[hidden spindle]

Hello everyone

How's everything?

[fossil yew]

So in the announcements channel it says that the first was of Alpha invites was only done through Discord.
I signed up through the email on the site (only just recently so after the first wave).
Are future invites going to be through email?

[warm plover]

We don't know yet. Make sure to do the second survey in #📢│palia-news if you haven't yet, though

[hidden spindle]

There is a second survey you need to fill out. I'm sure someone can link it or tell you where it is. I don't remember

[bright forge]

Do second survey!

[fossil yew]

ahhh I see, thanks!

[void imp]

emails did go out eventuall, they just didn't mention that. but they might have only chosen from the pool of people who filled the second survey, we don't really know

[uneven pebble]

Yea, them not saying a lot is a common theme. Not that it's bad but... common

[ocean stone]

Someone say second survey? > https://forms.gle/rjzvyZigVFi2mrPL9

[warm plover]

just realised nel wrote the example discord as Neleimour#1337... Nel we all know you're an LEET gamer

[dense ibex]

good morning ^^

[sand barn]

s6 is a l33t t34m c0nf1rm3d

[vale spire]

....Violent flashbacks to the late 90's and early 00's.

[cerulean axle]

My wifi is having weird issues so bye for now peeps! ❤️👋

[sand barn]

I'm sorry!

[vale spire]

Not like, bad ones! Just like, whiplash! It's okay!

[buoyant heath]

I don't have a neighborhood either.

[vale spire]

We should just form [PUN]

[raw quail]

@regal swallow is PAL still looking for a chef?

[buoyant heath]

I was thinking about [DAD] but I'm not sure.

[trail umbra]

Is it only three letters?

Also, omnizone Pals.

[vale spire]

Oh, that's a good one. We could just be the Enclave of Parents.

[buoyant heath]

I think people tend to use three letters for tags, but I don't know why they would have to be

The obvious answer is [HORSE], I mean, if you are naming a neigh-borhood

[silent cairn]

so [PUN] it is, then

[vale spire]

That one's a whinny.

[raw quail]

that made me actually laugh out loud

[silent cairn]

he is gaining power. soon he'll influence all with his dad jokes.

[tropic sand]

Hellur everybody!

[raw quail]

i have a weakness for dad jokes and bad puns

[ocean stone]

Sameee

[trail umbra]

You assume all us dads aren't just pooling our powers together already.

[silent cairn]

see now you've made me imagine a secret discord server where DadJoke asks for help from hundreds of dads to think of the perfect joke for the situation

[vale spire]

I've got some pretty stellar puns running around.

[ocean stone]

Certainly that exists ._. @silent cairn

[trail umbra]

They must be out of this world.

[vale spire]

The star of any conversation

[trail umbra]

No space for that sort of talk here.

[raw quail]

we universe-ally agree here

[vale spire]

I can't make those type of comets?

[tropic sand]

I imagine that would be a cool place to be honestly

[trail umbra]

Those tend to just spiral out of control.

[woeful sedge]

I arrive to puns

[ocean stone]

🎵 Black hole puns, won't you come

[buoyant heath]

That's called "being punctual"

[trail umbra]

Welcome to the Punderdome

[raw quail]

we need a channel for only puns

[regal swallow]

All Pals are welcome

PAL stands for Palian Adventure League

[vale spire]

Oooo, I like that!

[raw quail]

do you have like a seperate discord server or is it more formal right now? And what do I need to do to join @regal swallow

[tropic sand]

That’s clever. I like

[regal swallow]

Anyone is welcome to join. And I dont have a separate discord, because will separate myself from all the Pals I make here

[raw quail]

good point :3 I'll consider it, I'm not that sure yet if I already want to join a neighbourhood or if I just want so see where I land, although I'd rather be in a neighbourhood with people I know from here

[regal swallow]

Take your time. I just wanted to make a neighborhood called PAL before anyone else

[raw quail]

haha I get that 😄 it's the perfect name

[void imp]

we're also not allowed to talk about palia discords we start

[raw quail]

Oh! I didn't know that, sorry! What is the reason for that (just curious)?

[regal swallow]

Hi nomi!

[void imp]

omg i can't wait to play with the friend who showed me the trailer and then everyone just knows me wherever we go XD fuck

[heavy field]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Super sxcited

[thorny dune]

You'll be like, they all nomi

[void imp]

maybe people were competitive about that in the early days? just guessing. but i thiink it's pretty common to avoid people spamming ads maybe. don't really have an answer

[woeful sedge]

Ugh. That’s too good.

[restive granite]

Wait who are you?

[weak crypt]

I am gonna live in the Chuubourhood

[regal swallow]

Insert kazoo kid here

[raw quail]

does make sense though. Thanks for the info!

[void imp]

hi shrew!!

[trail umbra]

kazoo

[buoyant heath]

Who wants to join [PIG]? It's my new neighboarhood.

[regal swallow]

Bacon?

[tropic sand]

And what is [PIG]?

[fiery wagon]

anyone with acces to pre alpha - how is the first feel of the game?

[thorny dune]

As far as I saw in the early days nobody was really bad about it, but it's usually just a rule not to advertise anything in pub discords 🙂

[calm olive]

I can't wait to play this game

[regal swallow]

The only thing I can say is I like it. And the way it's going. Much potential

[void imp]

see i'd make sure to set it up, maybe there'll be neighbourhood servers

[wind patio]

@worthy torrent mmos dont usually ahve dlcs at all, there might be some to buy item bundles or holiday etc events with exclusive stuff to that event tho?

[green loom]

i was literally looking up mini pc's i can get to play this game when it comes out i'm so excited. what a time for indie game developers

[buoyant heath]

It's a relaxed neighboarhood. We just muck about, roast each other, the usual

[tropic sand]

Fun times, good vibes. I like

[regal swallow]

What does everyone think about Kenyatta?

[tropic sand]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Kenyatta is bae

[vale spire]

I love Kenyatta. She's got such a lovely design!

[void imp]

i like that she's true to herself and is kind of rebellious. gets her hands dirty and spends every free minute around animals? sounds like a friend!!

[regal swallow]

The villager vote is still very close

[void imp]

crazy

[raw quail]

I'm learning more and more about big severs. Gotta be honest, this is the first biiig server I ever joined, so I don't know the "unwritten rules"

[restive granite]

why am I on here it's making me want to play palia more

[calm olive]

Gotta say, her boots are pretty rad

[regal swallow]

Boots made for Walking?

[raw quail]

because of fwiends

[trail umbra]

"Loves everything her mom hates." Thanks S6 for calling out an entire generation right there.

[woeful sedge]

Kenyatta is adorable

[void imp]

froothy i like your personality, long live boba

[regal swallow]

🫂 Many Wholesome Pals

[calm olive]

Aw thankss haha 💖🧋🧋

[trail umbra]

Am I old? I don't know boba other than Boba Fett.

[woeful sedge]

Boba supremacy

[void imp]

gosh i'm so pumped that palia has a fantasy setting. that's... och. thank you universe.

[rose bison]

Hi guys

[void imp]

bubble tea?

[regal swallow]

I actually had Boba tea for my first time 2 weeks ago

[calm olive]

Ooo how did you like it shrew?

[regal swallow]

I loved it. I had strawberry tea

[tropic sand]

Ohhh, what did you think?

[thorny dune]

This will be the best community to learn those things with, everyone is very kind 😄

[tropic sand]

Yess, boba tea is super yummy

[woeful sedge]

I love it, but there’s nowhere to get it near me

[calm olive]

Yess boba is the life

[trail umbra]

wait it has pudding in it?

[raw quail]

yup, that's the first thing I learned, this community is awesome love you all

[frosty loom]

So today is when us of the evil community's come to Palia >:D

[warm plover]

hiii im back

[restive granite]

it has little balls in it

[rose bison]

Thats true a d its awesome i once joined a bigger sersver and i asked some wuestion and nobody answered me. Here everybody answers everyone

[woeful sedge]

They’re tapioca bubbles

[warm plover]

tapioca is bubble tea right?

[trail umbra]

Huh. Interesting.

[tidal scroll]

well yeah, they're used in bubble tea

[woeful sedge]

We’re just cool like that

[tidal scroll]

tapioca pearls or bubbles, whatever you wanna call 'em

[warm plover]

i like bubble tea but it makes me feel sick after

[tropic sand]

Yea. Boba is just big tapioca pearls

[tidal scroll]

can't have boba tea since it has milk in it

there's obviously vegan versions but haven't found any near me yet

[rose bison]

Yea i can See that 😋

[celest maple]

Hello everybody! 👋

[restive granite]

https://youtu.be/8njbYdKGgQU

[tough valley]

How fast are the palia car industry

[warm plover]

matt how was your run?

[sand barn]

PALS you're awesome. That is all

[celest maple]

Strenuous but great. I'm not the best runner. 😁

[warm plover]

i should probably try to be more healthy...

[woeful sedge]

Another runner??

[void imp]

hm violin sents a bubble tea video... from a violin channel > v <

[celest maple]

I'm a very casual runner, but yeah I try to be haha.

[raw quail]

maybe we should move the bubble tea convo over to #💬│off-topic-chat

[regal swallow]

Agreed

[restive granite]

😄

[spring rivet]

yes please pals, thank you. 🦆

[void imp]

hi ducky

[restive granite]

twoset got me into violin they're the reason I started playing they made it look fun

[warm plover]

hiii ducky ducky duck

[woeful sedge]

Awesome! It can be really fun once you get enough experience to enjoy the run rather than just make it through it. I get a lot of thinking done on the trail lol.

[celest maple]

Yeah it's great, I also like the feeling of marathons. Especially when you know some people there. I ran indoors this time though, on the treadmill. Interval training. X)

[regal swallow]

I bet ducks has a joke that will Quack us up

[restive granite]

What do you guys plan on doing when you get your alpha keys?

[raw quail]

find out if I can build my restaurant

[woeful sedge]

That’s awesome. I’ve always wanted to run a marathon, but I run in college and it’s hard to fit into a training plan.

[void imp]

run to the friends i made here and cry a little bit

[magic lance]

Experiment with the building system mostly.

[woeful sedge]

Hope you can, looking forward to it

[rose bison]

Find a place where some of us can build restaurand and i can go fishing clise to them xD

[void imp]

after that i'll get really serious because i'm pumped about testing and i wanna do the best possible job i can

[raw quail]

still got you on my list as fish supplier 🐟

[rose bison]

Got you bro

Well there is still Maya with jam

[deft sonnet]

[raw quail]

[rose bison]

Hi Xd

[worthy rose]

Ok so basically, imagine surfing on a chapaa

[raw quail]

thats good because I just had the image in my head where he's just gurgling while trying to breathe

[worthy rose]

It was his idea and hes having a great time dont worry

[warm plover]

[brittle delta]

hey hey hope you're all having a great day

[celest maple]

good evening

[vale spire]

Sometimes, Chat just has a nap!

[brittle delta]

naps important

[void imp]

the mods need to blink sometimes

[raw quail]

hey Mag, days been great, how about yours?

[tropic sand]

Hope you’re having a great day as well @brittle delta

[brittle delta]

I just woke up so i'm not quite sure yet, i'm sure it'll be a nice day though

[short thorn]

Jeez, almost 500 messages

[celest maple]

Are the devs not inviting new alpha testers?

[merry crater]

Good morning here. Am at work so I'll be in and out sporadically.

I hope everyone has a good time today~

[tropic sand]

They are. We just don’t know when

[brittle delta]

[rose bison]

Wish you the best day ever :p

[bright forge]

[celest maple]

Perin are you always online?

[raw quail]

to a good day then!

[wind patio]

the announcement channel said that we get more within the month if lucky

[bright forge]

Not all the time but offten

[celest maple]

Oh alright because I always see you, rin and milky in the chat

[rose bison]

True they are always up

[celest maple]

I wanna say they are secretly vampires but even vampires get their sleep

[tropic sand]

Yea, idk when Rin sleeps

[celest maple]

In a day or two

[bright forge]

[tropic sand]

2 hours a week

[celest maple]

Please tell us your sleep schedule oh so powerful Perin

[tired trench]

What looks most exciting to everyone from the trailer?

[vale spire]

I damn near fell asleep earlier?
That was fun

[tropic sand]

So many activities

[brittle delta]

just exploring the beautiful world, probably

[bright forge]

The reason I'm always here is that I love you guys

[brittle delta]

fwiend

[tropic sand]

Perin chooses Palia peeps over sleeps

[merry crater]

Everything OwO

[celest maple]

Im excited to talk to einar with his robotic voice 😄

[tropic sand]

The Palia world does look very beautiful and somewhat soothing. I love

[brittle lance]

Are you sure we can talk to him? 😛

[celest maple]

They better

[tropic sand]

Hmmm 🤔

[celest maple]

I just wanna hear them saying greetings to me okay

[void imp]

ghib li vibes

[raw quail]

I love all the character designs! And the artstyle is just perfect and it just has a cozy atmosphere

[celest maple]

I wish they'd add instruments we can play

[tired trench]

I agree!

[bright forge]

I sleep usualy from 1am to 9am

[celest maple]

WE HAVE THE SAME SLEEP SCHEDULE

[brittle lance]

There are instruments in the trailer, so I suspect that there will be

[restive granite]

YOS

[tropic sand]

That’s a solid sleep

[celest maple]

Just different time zone

[echo jasper]

Morning

[brittle delta]

i slept from 7 am to 3 pm today

[worthy rose]

🎷 🐛

[celest maple]

And you're proud?

[brittle delta]

[bright forge]

But it's now 15:45 for me

[tired trench]

Well I look forward to meeting everyone else who gets into testing, we’ll be excited to have you

[raw quail]

same here 😄

[woeful sedge]

Hi Perin 🙋‍♀️

[echo jasper]

I'd give a solid gold bar to sleep that long lol

[celest maple]

OH YEAH

[merry kraken]

I hate insomnia. I wish I could sleep that long

[worthy rose]

[celest maple]

Ivy is also sometimes online

[tired trench]

[bright forge]

Hi! 👋

[vale spire]

Same! I'm super excited to see the next batch

[woeful sedge]

I lurk while I work and say things once in a while so it looks like I’m paying attention

[tropic sand]

Saying it that way makes me feel like we are all a bunch of cookies and I like it

[echo jasper]

Same, mostly

[celest maple]

I wonder how we will communicate in the game

[worthy rose]

Smoke signals and tortilla throwing

[vale spire]

I'm sure every one of you will be delicious!

[tired trench]

Throw pebbles at each other

[raw quail]

I'm hoping for an ingame voice chat comparable to rust? If you get close to a player you can hear them maybe?
although that can get very overwhelming

[echo jasper]

Pebbles with messages tied to them

[brittle delta]

pebbles are not for throwing

[tropic sand]

We’re noms

[woeful sedge]

Intricate flag signals

[celest maple]

Fireworks

[echo jasper]

But if we throw them, then others can have the joy of collecting them!

[deft gale]

Jumps, many jumps

[celest maple]

Everyone flexing their pebble collection

[void imp]

i love that, it's called proximity voice chat :D

[echo jasper]

Rock panting in palia when?

[bright forge]

@celest maple 8 so far

[raw quail]

yeah that was the word i was looking for! It was on the tip of my tongue 😄

[brittle delta]

prox voice would be neat

[tropic sand]

Prox chat would definitely be cool. Although an overly crowded area could be a bit overwhelming

[brittle delta]

very true

[celest maple]

Maybe only add prox chat for parties?

[regal swallow]

[Hello There!] [Wait who's talking to me] [Up here look up]

[tired trench]

That’s why the option to turn it off should always be available

[buoyant heath]

[void imp]

i'd love to make palia more immersive with things like proximity voicechat and trying to avoid "meta" convos, i guess a really surface minimal from of roleplay

[bright forge]

👋

[woeful sedge]

But it gets awkward if some people have proximity chat and some don’t

[regal swallow]

Insert [can you hear me now?]

[brittle delta]

not really, that's quite normal even in games with voice chat systems

[tired trench]

Not really. You can just assume they have it off if they don’t answer, and move on, no harm done

[raw quail]

or maybe add a little icon beside their name that they have prox turned off

[woeful sedge]

Oh good point. I don’t really use vc at all so I wouldn’t know lol

[buoyant heath]

In games like that, I just stand there and scream at them

[tired trench]

That would be nice too

[celest maple]

Well lets not get our hopes up

[tired trench]

You’re fine!

[worthy rose]

Assuming everyone is going to play nice in an mmo is a bad idea

[tired trench]

LOL idk if I could bring myself to scream

[tight wind]

The option to turn chat off should always be available. I don’t generally turn on voice chat with strangers because I’ve been burned too many times by people who start saying ugly things as soon as they hear a female voice. 🙄

[echo jasper]

Idk if I personally want to hear people chatting constantly. Prox voice chat is cool and all, but if I'm just relaxing and farming or whatever I'd prefer communication be text based lol

[tropic sand]

Unfortunately there’s always a few toxic players wandering around

[old shell]

We just need to have the choice ^^

[tired trench]

In any game as well

[celest maple]

Maybe if they add a mute button for players?

You can mute the person if they're toxic

[silent cairn]

I can't remember where I read this, so I really need someone to confirm whether they heard about it as well but - wasn't there some talks of having proximity chat that you can enable for people who are your friends in the game? So there's no overwhelming chaos and griefing in public places and just fun talks between friends who trust each other.

[tight wind]

Mute/ignore should always be an option, too.

[echo jasper]

That too. Bleh.

[zinc steeple]

i dunno, i quite like the mechanic of public chat

[tight wind]

THAT sounds perfect.

[zinc steeple]

overhearing people talking nearby etc...

[bright forge]

I love idea of friend vc

[celest maple]

Maybe they could have the same voice chat system as Valorant

[tropic sand]

It could be, but I always just hang out in discord voice channel if I’m playing with friends. So in game is never necessary

[tired trench]

Options for friend voice chat and public would be pretty cool

[celest maple]

There are VC buttons for public and for team

[void imp]

😂 and laugh between screams i imagine

[rose cedar]

Good day all. 👋

[silent cairn]

yeah vc isn't necessary in the game but it would definitely add to the immersion for me.

[zinc steeple]

well that sounds ominous

[raw quail]

I haven't read that, but it sounds like the perfect system to me 😄

[buoyant heath]

Just imagine Mark Hamill's Joker talking to a mannequin

[void imp]

not all games are the same, i promise

[echo jasper]

I guess I should get something accomplished today... have a good day all

[silent cairn]

sorry, wrong reply lol

[celest maple]

If they did add prox chat and instruments

[worthy rose]

The first time someone is near you blasting awful music through their maxed out gain mic and you cant find them to mute them you're gonna rethink it lol

[celest maple]

I would love to sing along with people around a bonfire with music

[tight wind]

I know, and I have high hopes that this game will be a friendly place. But I’ve played a LOT of online games, and shipped several as a dev, too. There will always be some number of toxic people, and it’s best to have systems and policies in place to handle that. 🙂

[tired trench]

Yea. I think it’s more of a necessary option for me. Like I don’t care if everyone uses it, but just the option to have it on

[tropic sand]

Either way, I think in game voice chat would be a great option, but definitely with a way to mute whenever you’d like.

[void imp]

afaik that was just the community dreaming and trying to find the best solution

[worthy rose]

[bright forge]

I will poison their characters food

[void imp]

yes. this.

[raw quail]

I will help

[tight wind]

And the more tools you give your community to handle those things themselves (mute, ignore, turn off chat, etc), the happier they’ll be (and the GM/CSR staff, too). 😁

[short thorn]

I tend to stay away from voice chatting with random people because of my hearing impairment, and because I get too nervous to start talking and end up just staying quiet

[brittle delta]

poison the toxic

[thin veldt]

Sea of Thieves implementation for in game VC is all i want lol

[short thorn]

Plus I never know what to talk about unless it's on a mutual topic

[old shell]

If it does not affect the ping ig, i'm in ^^

[tropic sand]

We must always band together and overcome the toxicity

[zinc steeple]

hate the toxicity together

[tropic sand]

True true

[bright forge]

[silent cairn]

just group hug all the toxic people into submission

[tight wind]

Nice them into submission! 😂

[small hinge]

Woke up for the group 🫂

[brittle delta]

hey scope!

[tropic sand]

YESSSS. They would hate that

[raw quail]

I'll invite all the toxic people to The Bonfire for free food and just get rid of them in one go, its the perfect plan!

[zinc steeple]

that does actually legitimately work

[celest maple]

Kill them with kindness

[brittle delta]

ooh didnt realize you've picked a name! nice

[tired trench]

I definitely feel the nervous part. But for that reason I would rather speak when finding someone in game than say, in a large voice call. My anxiety don’t like that lol

[rose bison]

Well you dont have to worry if everyone in the game will be the same as everyone that write here on dc then everyone will be realu friendly

[bright forge]

I love "Alchemy"

[violet notch]

As a toxic player i find this conversation incredible toxic.

[void imp]

maybe not talk about the poison topic, mods don't like violent topics here

[small hinge]

Good time zone friends, throwing my vote in for Voice chat with randos yes, but it’s 100% opt in and not enabled by default

[unkempt flare]

there will always be toxic ppl.

[buoyant heath]

The way they do instruments is my favorite thing about that game

[silent cairn]

scary Perin

[rose bison]

I can helo

[tropic sand]

I’ll bring flower crowns for everyone at the bonfire

[raw quail]

flowers for everyone! 😄

[void imp]

SNUFKIN 🥰

[rose bison]

Well its true but here i doubt there will be a lot of them i mean most of us r all grown so i doubt there will be a lot of toxic ppl

[celest maple]

What about a flying ship as transportation?

[tight wind]

I’m not really worried about the people who truly want to play. The community here is lovely!

[zinc steeple]

slaps thigh

[calm olive]

i mean.. alot of adults can be pretty immature too

[small hinge]

Classic WoW is primarily adults, toxic af in public channels so I have no faith in age being a factor.

[zinc steeple]

as if grownups can't be toxic! haha!

[tropic sand]

Agreed. I get bullied by more adults than children

[unkempt flare]

can agree, grown ups are only more toxic because they have been for much longer then kids

[rose bison]

True

[royal granite]

i agree i think it will be overall pretty positive

[bright forge]

I would never hurt anyone I promise

[tight wind]

I’m a bit jaded about the maturity and kindness of the internet in general, I’m afraid. But I will go to war to protect those who still believe in the goodness of humanity in general, because we need that kind of optimism.

[tropic sand]

Yes. But I must know how they will fly?

[rose bison]

By adults you mean Age or how someone acts?

[frank meteor]

WoW is toxic because Blizzard has actively encouraged that kind of community via their advertising, story, and game design. I think Palia will attract a much different genre of person.

[raw quail]

magic.

[celest maple]

Maybe an engine that makes man made wings fly?

[void imp]

sooo do you guys have a specific style of exploring games, if you explore? do you look for specific things? are you methodical? or do you chase butterflies and look under rocks?

[tired trench]

Any toxic people who decide to play this game and mess with people will find out fast that they won’t be tolerated though, just saying. I know a lot of people here are very vocal about that.

[brittle lance]

Sadly, life can make you angry / toxic, if you have experienced that the world ins't fair. But IMO that is no excuse to be salty all the time

[void imp]

aaaah two moomin profile pics in a short amount of time

[tropic sand]

I mean age

[tight wind]

Definitely that last one. Until I get distracted by a passing squirrel. 🤣

[silent cairn]

I will always try to find how to climb as high up as possible, haha.

[brittle delta]

i usually just run around to spots i can directly see, and then methodically revisit later after i had a time of free exploring just to 100% the area if i feel like it

[violet notch]

Moomin neighbourhood incoming!

[celest maple]

If the game really lets us do a lot of things

[bright forge]

I start from start location and Explore bit by bit

[raw quail]

most of the time I go to the "lookout" first, the one that reveals a certain part of the map. After that I basically run around and look for places with nice views or just interest me in general. I don't really have a system :3

[ivory peak]

My favourite game to explore was Second Life for a long time. I loved how versatile the worlds were

[rose bison]

Well its the difference. When i Say someone is adult i mean by how someone acts and how they think insted of how Old they r. For example how Old doy you think i am?

[celest maple]

I want to collect all types of flowers

[tropic sand]

Okay okay, I was curious to know if your thoughts would be engine or magic. Either way, yes

[celest maple]

If they add an achievement for collecting every flower

[brittle delta]

@void imp how do you explore?

[tired trench]

I definitely always try to find secrets/secret areas

[tropic sand]

I definitely understand what you mean, but I honestly wouldn’t have any idea how old you are. I don’t like guessing people’s age. Don’t want to unintentionally insult someone lol

[celest maple]

I wish the reward they give is a title "gardener"

[royal granite]

i hope there is an option to display character titles next to your username!! would be cool to show off achievements

[rose bison]

Well if you dont want you do thave to. But good thing is that you understand my Point :P

[celest maple]

exactly

Maybe even some secret achievements

Like if you cut this amount of trees you get a title

[tropic sand]

Yes yes, maturity does not always come with age

[small hinge]

I hope I get to throughly test some stuff in the game. I think I’m most interested in the crafting and how recipes work

[warm plover]

Meow
We were playing an age-and-nationality guessing game here earlier
(but only if people wanted to join)

[celest maple]

But of course no one would know such a title exist

[brittle delta]

hey rin :)

[limber spade]

secret achievements and event ones are best

[warm plover]

Hi Mags!!!!!!!! or mag
i still dont know if its ok to call you mags

[rose bison]

Hi rin

[bright forge]

Special flower glifer that leaves flover trail

[brittle delta]

whatever you feel like friend

[warm plover]

i became a metal

[celest maple]

Yes

[small hinge]

Like when building your house…. How do you get stuff to place?? Is tea cups and everything free to place or do you craft/unlock it

[celest maple]

Maybe craft it or buy it

[wind patio]

stores and crafting probs

[small hinge]

So we need sand for glass or porcelain then??

[brittle delta]

bahari bay gonna be the bahari digsite

[celest maple]

Maybe we can buy the materials in shops?

[small hinge]

Ooo primitive decor then upgrading to fancy

[tropic sand]

I hope you craft it

[tired trench]

[brittle lance]

I would be very disappointed if it is just a "snap in place" method

[wind patio]

back to monke, hunt yer materials

[celest maple]

It'd be great if we could be craftspeople and create things like furniture and such for people, and have it be a trade.

[small hinge]

Actually, it could be a NPC… a interior decorator, and you get friendly with them to unlock more!

[void imp]

after reading how well all of you put it into words: first i'll run around following whatever catches my attention, then i get distracted a lot while i run around for quests, and i also like to see if there's anything interesting on the map and then i'll take two day trips there if i have to and just run between the legs of level 80 monsters if it's an end game area xD

[wind patio]

thats also me

[brittle delta]

i like to imagine the testers just looking at chat speculating with all the answers like "oh you silly, that's not how it works"

[small hinge]

Yep lol that’s the worst part Mag

[celest maple]

Oh yeah they will add favorability's of NPCs right?

[calm olive]

i hope if theres a day/night cycle, the night has glowing lights and perhaps glowing secret paths/messages..? 👀

[wind patio]

well its in early developement so creators are just getting new ideas in chat haha

[brittle lance]

I'm like "OK. I have this quest, better get to it... Ohh what is that! It is shiny! Ohh and look over-there more shiny stuff" xD

[small hinge]

I think so stagnant, they said villagers could get jealous of your rep with other villagers

[wind patio]

glowign mushroom

[tired trench]

I actually enjoy seeing what everyone thinks. Not gonna call you all silly. I like seeing your thoughts!

[celest maple]

Maybe add some NPCs that generally hate players

And if you get in their good side you get an achievement?

[old shell]

Are you guys here devs ?! 😄

[small hinge]

The 2 broody teenagers are the end game relationships

[celest maple]

LISTEN TO OUR SUGGESTIONS DEAR HOLY DEVS

[brittle delta]

the people with the blue names and [S6] in front are the devs

[cinder comet]

Good morning!

[brittle lance]

They already are 😛

[raw quail]

Oooooh what do you guys think about ships? Like, building your own little sailboat and designing it or something, just to drive around on a lake and go fishing

[tropic sand]

Yea I’d like to think all the ideas are more helpful than silly

[celest maple]

Make your own crew

[small hinge]

Either little boat if body of water, or water mounts!

[limber spade]

timezones really get me :v

[tired trench]

Very cool

[cinder comet]

Haha. Sea of thieves vibes

[brittle delta]

really hoping we get some ships to traverse water, especially if we'd be able to fish off them

[small hinge]

Maybe 10 people can do a fishing raid and catch a kraken!

[wind patio]

theres dev list on the right side on discord

[celest maple]

Maybe they will add boats that sail for specific times

[brittle delta]

even just a small rowboat to fish in lakes

[bright forge]

[raw quail]

It doesnt even need to be a big ship, just something to take out for a tour every once in a while 😄

[small hinge]

Boat house plz

[wind patio]

but im not dev lol

[limber spade]

or maybe a house on boat would be also great, who wants to live on land anyways

[raw quail]

water mounts 😍

[tight wind]

A three-hour tour? 😁

[tired trench]

Sims 3 island paradise

                      🕯️

[wind patio]

i love speculating things

[celest maple]

I would love if they add restaurants or a tavern

[rose bison]

Water Mount would be awesome imaging ridint on a dolphin or something similar

[calm olive]

samee

[celest maple]

Where players can hang out in

[wind patio]

one character thign mentions there is an inn, id assume there is tavern attached

[brittle delta]

ooh i know archeage had dolphin mounts, and they were so cute

[brittle lance]

We can build a small city out on the water. Like in Water World 😛

[small hinge]

I want to raise a baby turtle, into a mount

[tired trench]

Awww that sounds cute

[limber spade]

or maybe a park where u can make a picnic with friends

[brittle delta]

please i need it

[raw quail]

please

[celest maple]

I love getting people's hopes up

[wind patio]

that would be fun, i dont think raising baby into a mount is thign in any games, even with stuff like horse breeding they skip the foal stage

[rose bison]

Well you can always build your onw restaurand and ivite some friends. I hope we can build xD

[regal swallow]

A lot of FrInnship in here

[brittle lance]

You don't just buy a mount and then you can ride it. You actually have to bring it up and train it. Could be fun.

[surreal crest]

ahh where's my foood

[celest maple]

If neighborhoods are guilds what are guild leaders called?

[limber spade]

i mean in SoD it was a thing with the dragons :>

[wind patio]

dragons? giv, what game is that

[small hinge]

I hope some rare stuff is on some islands… and you have to either make a lil pocket boat or gain favor with a ship master or have a mount to go there if swimming isn’t a thing

[old shell]

i would love super super rare stuff. Like you need to try hard 128478289 quests to have 1 wierdo hat 😄

[brittle lance]

Residents Manager?

[raw quail]

Mayor?

[lunar tundra]

That would be rad!

[limber spade]

an old game from HTTYD, school of dragons

[tired trench]

Sounds fun

[regal swallow]

Mayor?

[brittle lance]

Neighborhood Mayor?

[tropic sand]

Obviously we need something like this to show that we are over achievers

[raw quail]

something like that 😄

[wind patio]

ah, i owned one httyd game

[celest maple]

Mayble some rare stuff that only the first person can get?

[regal swallow]

Hehehehe

[rose bison]

It would be nice if first you would have to catch it and tame. I mean you could buy horse but if you want somethi g more exotic you would have to find and tame it it would be awesome

[brittle delta]

i know in archeage you would buy baby mounts and raise them but it was pretty minimal, just had to bring it water and food and stuff for a few minutes.. they did have mount levels which gave more mount abilities the more you rode that mount which was nice

[brittle lance]

Exactly!

[small hinge]

Work has started. I’ll be in mode, have fun!

[wind patio]

imma jsut go ride in circles, but that sounds super fun

[celest maple]

Because if everyone can get that rare stuff all they need to do is search on Youtube and the hardwork is already done

[lunar tundra]

Taming wild horses would also be rad, I hope wildlife can have different patterns, maybe some more rare than others.

[limber spade]

i woyld love to see more fantasy mounts like maybe giant turtles, unicorns and calpies

[wind patio]

kelpies you mean

[brittle delta]

oh yeah.. people got banned for it eventually i think, but people would leave something on their keyboard and ride in circles for hours afk, it was hilarious

[limber spade]

where I'm from we call them calpies 😅

[brittle lance]

In every MMO I know there are /action commands. But what If we could have commands for our mounts depending on the mount level

[warm plover]

hi pacccc

[brittle delta]

what do you have in mind for these commands then? "follow, stay, dash" or..?

[rose bison]

Yea

[brittle lance]

Heeeey Rin 😄

[brittle lance]

./dance, /bow, /fetch, anything you like 😄

[brittle delta]

dancing horse 👏

[raw quail]

alright i have to get ready for archery practice, i wish you all a good timezone, maybe I'll come back later for some quality palia time, we'll see

[warm plover]

dancing horse is too powerful for our mortal minds to comprehend

[brittle delta]

Byee! have fun at practice

[warm plover]

ARCHERY PRACTICE?

[tropic sand]

Byyye. Have fun!

[rose bison]

I have it copied from feedback.
I heard a lot of PPL want some pets but i didnt See any info how they want to get one so here is my proposition. How about 2 ways of getting a pet (if there will be more than 4 and something like common and rare) first one would be through a mission. When you will help some npc they will give you a map where you can Look for your pet and then you will be able to tame him by some kind of mini game or something else. Secon would be Just wandering around and when a pet will spawn near you you will get some kind of notification that it spawned and then you will have to tame him if you want. But looking for pet without mission would be much harder. And if possible there would be some kind of class for every pet i mean rare common and more. The rarer the pet the harder the quest to do To get map and it would spawn with less percent. Ik its long but hope i helped even a Little bit. Ty if you read all

[raw quail]

yup, I'm an archer! It's fun 😄 but gotta leave now, bye! :3

[warm plover]

byeeeeee

[rose bison]

Bye jayke

[wind patio]

but this is mmo, people could snatch it

and people would camp known spawn spots

[brittle lance]

Do you have a proposition on how to avoid that?

I'm thinking random spawn location and spawn times

[wind patio]

not really, i think it would be fun to find eggs as rare lot when gathering etc

[celest maple]

Maybe have rare eggs in hard to travel places?

[rose bison]

Well they could Just do something like one big place where they spawn and depends on rank if higher they will have less percent to spawn

[wind jungle]

I like the rare egg idea

[wind patio]

all games have really arre certain activity exclusive loot, and its really hard to get even if you gather all day

[rose bison]

Yeaa it would be nice

[brittle lance]

Chapaa eggs! 🥚

[rose bison]

To have some percent of droping an egg and then raise the animal as pet or mount

[wind patio]

pet or moutn variant tho

[tropic sand]

Ohh. I do like the egg ideas

[rose bison]

Sounds really good

[celest maple]

But you also have to take care of the egg

[brittle lance]

If it fails we just eat it....

[lunar tundra]

Some randomization could be nice, maybe they would spawn randomaly inside a fairly large "Zone"

[rose bison]

Both

[lunar tundra]

Eggs would be pretty cool.

[tropic sand]

Would you want to know what is in the egg before hatching or a surprise?

[brittle lance]

Yeah what I was thinking

[lunar tundra]

I like the surprise.

[brittle delta]

i'd like a general idea, but maybe variants and rarity can be random

[wind patio]

surprise would be nicer

[wind jungle]

If you fail to hatch your eggs, come by my restaurant and I'll turn it into an omelet

[brittle delta]

you can tell if it's a reptile, chicken or ostrich egg

[tropic sand]

I agree. I would love the mystery

[wind patio]

maybe rarity could weed some out of the animal list

[brittle lance]

Perhaps you have a general idea of what it can be. And you get better with levels

[regal swallow]

Mystery! Adventure!

[rose bison]

Well like that you have to takę care of and after it gets Out you have to have it as pet or Just atke care of it as it grows

[tranquil cosmos]

It's so quiet this morning

[rose bison]

Well mystery egg would be nice but not to buy more like find

[brittle delta]

Good morning Otter

[brittle lance]

It's not morning silly 😄

[heavy dew]

stretches happy timezone

[tranquil cosmos]

It's 7:30am lmao, def my morning

[tropic sand]

Tis 10:30 am for me. Sooo late morning?

[tranquil cosmos]

I ran out of coffee beans, and had to use the fancy ones, so at least I have good coffee lol

[brittle lance]

Well it's 4:30PM here, but I have not had breakfast yet, so yeah you are right 😛

[left pebble]

What's that mysterious "suggestions" rank you have shrew 👀

[heavy dew]

4:30pm and I just woke up from my nap ready for palia talk :3

[serene stratus]

Good morning all o/

[regal swallow]

Only answer is

[brittle lance]

Eat, Sleep, Palia, REPEAT! I need a new T-shirt!

[heavy dew]

^ order one for me too

[left pebble]

Well, I'll divert the convo from nda stuff then :p

[serene stratus]

I see that ❓ is slowly but surely catching up

[left pebble]

Have we gone over the idle town gif?

[heavy dew]

Always pick the mystery when you know you’ll get the sure thing later, you may not get the mystery again

[celest maple]

10:37 pm

[tranquil cosmos]

Poor Ashura lmao

[left pebble]

I mean this one
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850062378926473227/862380789710323712/village_idle_nomove.gif

[tranquil cosmos]

But what if we pick ❓ and then there is a Tau reveal??

[heavy dew]

That’s what I’m saying

[serene stratus]

I feel confident Ashura will be triumphant in the end

[brittle delta]

please.. ashura..

[brittle lance]

We will see them all eventually 😄

[heavy dew]

Picking Ashura now only means we may never know what ❓ is

[left pebble]

Cause it gives us the location of the cascade with respect to the town

[brittle lance]

I'm not vibing very much. Just sweating in the summer heat....

[left pebble]

Cheat the system, do both mwahaha

[brittle delta]

inb4 ❓ is the santa hat person nobody voted for

[warm plover]

stop being hot

[tranquil cosmos]

Riiiin, what's up with those memes about you lol

[celest maple]

[celest maple]

The Tester meme?

[tranquil cosmos]

Yeah

[brittle lance]

We should see if we can get a tie between 1️⃣ and ❓

[warm plover]

Nel did an oopsie and made a public voice channel
a bunch of prealpha testers joined and so did I
there was a bit of panic

[tranquil cosmos]

Lol ohhh

[serene stratus]

O.O That must have been hilariously chaotic

[warm plover]

i was only in there for like five seconds before the channel disappeared

[brittle lance]

Ohhhh Rin you little rascal 😛

[celest maple]

Hopefully they didnt leak anything

[warm plover]

they leaked ||Nel's voice||

[small hinge]

Petition to be a fly on the wall

[tranquil cosmos]

Pfff testers don't stay on topic

[celest maple]

omg

[bright forge]

[heavy dew]

Nel’s whiteboard has voice?

[tranquil cosmos]

Nel is a qt

[brittle delta]

Nel's voice is the reveal we all need

[warm plover]

oh yeah otter did you enjoy your time with the testing?

[serene stratus]

A word was leaked....
.
.
.
.
"...the..."

[tranquil cosmos]

Yep, I can't wait for everyone to get to play together

[warm plover]

one more question: do you think it's worth the hype

[serene stratus]

Good question

[celest maple]

underrated or overrated?

[tropic sand]

Otter must say yes

[lunar tundra]

Glad to hear people are enjoying it! Looking forward to when we all hang out in game. 🎣

[tranquil cosmos]

Lol I'm still hyped, so

[celest maple]

THE DEVS ARE WATCHING OTTER

[warm plover]

NICE!!!!!

[brittle delta]

i can't wait, i hope i get in next wave

[warm plover]

Samesies mags

[tranquil cosmos]

Me, surrounded by eggshells and timebombs

[serene stratus]

Someone said they messed up their sleep schedule, that's what I want to hear!

[heavy dew]

Otter - minesweeper edition

[brittle lance]

Tester are allowed to share feelings like this tho 😛

[lunar tundra]

My sleep schedule is ready! And by ready I mean already almost non-existent.

[wind jungle]

Lol, I got not sleep schedule to mess up.

[celest maple]

We have sleep schedules??

[heavy dew]

What’s sleep?

[fallen sun]

You guys are getting sleep?

[tranquil cosmos]

My 5 month old is just starting to sleep through the night, so sleep is great lmao

[brittle delta]

sleep now, stay awake forever when u get palia

[brittle lance]

"sleeps" is when you collapse on your keyboard in the middle of a sentence on this Discord 😄

[warm plover]

[heavy dew]

This I can vibe with

[bright forge]

You just had a nap Berry!

[warm plover]

you wake up to your discord message reading aaaaaaaaaaa

[wind jungle]

Omg. So many times

[heavy dew]

To avoid collapse!

[serene stratus]

Cat like typing detected

[silent cairn]

"no pressure"

[warm plover]

i dont think ive fallen asleep at my desk much

[regal swallow]

Oogabooga?

[left pebble]

boogabooo

[brittle lance]

Coffee + 30min nap prevents collapse! - But may be very unhealthy in the end 😅

[celest maple]

Willy Wonka

[brittle delta]

i've fallen asleep in my chair but never in a voice chat

voice chat makes me too anxious to even think of sleep

[brittle lance]

Fearless?

[fallen sun]

Save time by skipping the nap and doubling the coffee

[glad mural]

skip the coffee and just take caffeine pills

[heavy dew]

I keep a stash of caffeine in my mini fridge under my desk for more Palia talk and in the future gaming

[celest maple]

Question do testers have to be an adult?

[regal swallow]

My only fear is monkey bars

[celest maple]

Or does age not matter

[brittle lance]

What is an adult tho? 😛

[celest maple]

Great question

[left pebble]

Sleep Any%

[buoyant heath]

Fear is the mind-killer

[silent cairn]

I'm guessing you'd have to be at least 18 to sign an NDA, but I'm not sure whatsoever.

[heavy dew]

You can’t legally sign documents until you’re 18 can you? Or is that just here?

[serene stratus]

Philosophical questions aside, yes, surely they will have to draw a line in the sand somewhere

[brittle delta]

not sure actually

[heavy dew]

I think it’s safe to assume we don’t know the answer @celest maple

[bright forge]

I asked Panda once about age and

[tropic sand]

I do believe you have to be 18+ to sign an NDA, but I could be wrong

[celest maple]

Really? I might not have a change to be a tester then

[tropic sand]

Or maybe with consent from parent or guardian

[left pebble]

At least in Spain you can authorization from your parents or legal tutors

[celest maple]

Gotta wait 2 or more years haha..

[wind patio]

yeah minors acnt sign legal documents

[rose bison]

Well hope i can do it with parents im not Old enough to sign my self if you have to be 18 or older
Or Brother

[hoary fulcrum]

Under certain circumstances, that is true. Not absolute.

[heavy dew]

Only sith are absolute

[wind patio]

the minor cant sign, their guardians can in certain cases

[serene stratus]

Right, such as if you are an emancipated minor

[tropic sand]

Most things have an option for the signature of a parent or guardian but idk about NDA

[celest maple]

Dear Alpha Testers did the NDA ask that you are an adult?

[rose bison]

They cant asnwer BC if nda probably xD

[bright forge]

[heavy dew]

Most likely the answer to anything regarding the NDA will be

[celest maple]

I really cant wait for 2 years for the game to come out

[serene stratus]

They can't tell us what they can't tell us 😉

[knotty crown]

Guys, vote ? for the secret vote! We'll get a mystery NPC if it wins! ❤️

[rose bison]

Not only you

[wind jungle]

Dear Alpha testers, does the NDA cover the NDA itself? Lol

[heavy dew]

[knotty crown]

This has been answered, as a Yes.

[tropic sand]

So many unanswered questions

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/dying-im-tired-lying-down-gif-16690979

[heavy dew]

To avoid panic, do some Palia art!

[celest maple]

Atleast im not alone

[hoary fulcrum]

Saw the trailer. Is this game inclusive to people with autism?

[celest maple]

I'll suffer with you @rose bison ! !

[rose bison]

<3

[knotty crown]

Depends on what would you consider inclusive to autism.

[heavy dew]

Depends on how you mean, the spectrum is very broad

Eyyy Rez

Did you get a new picture? Or was it always that? It’s nice

[rose bison]

Now im not alone too

[heavy dew]

You are never alone in Palia’s discord

[knotty crown]

I mean, if by "inclusive" they just want a character with autism thrown in for the sake of having one thrown in, we don't know yet.

If you mean the game was adjusted through settings or dialogue for the benefit of people on the spectrum.... I've never seen that before and honestly have no idea how it would be done.

[celest maple]

Maybe I should ask the devs

[knotty crown]

I've had it for a while now... but thanks! ❤️

[buoyant heath]

I am the only one here

[tropic sand]

Wouldn’t hurt

[warm plover]

I'm autistic and I'm vibing w the game

[celest maple]

Hope I get an answer In the sea of questions

[tropic sand]

Yes

[knotty crown]

Put the question in #851872239435644928

[warm plover]

Dad go to sleep

[celest maple]

DAD GIVE US A JOKE

[knotty crown]

stares at you intensely

.... Suuuure.

[restive granite]

yokes all around this morning

[knotty crown]

I prefer my eggs without the yoke.

[restive granite]

are they eggcellent?

[buoyant heath]

[hoary fulcrum]

I prefer my frogs with extra gay

[celest maple]

I love dad jokes it makes me look at them with disappointment

[royal granite]

isnt yoke the wife of john lennon

[rose bison]

Guys i go to the shadows again so if anyone wants something Just ping cya

[knotty crown]

so-called "egg whites" are great for omelets and stuff, yes. tho you definitely want to use the yoke when making deviled eggs.

[warm plover]

GO TO BED

[serene stratus]

Yoko

[warm plover]

Taro

[celest maple]

I should also go to bed it just turned 11 pm haha..

but i shall not

[knotty crown]

Also, egg whites (part of egg that's not yoke) is healthier for you

[warm plover]

GMT+8 twinsies

[celest maple]

I have a confession to make

[knotty crown]

Tell me, my child.

[chilly charm]

Good morning all!

[celest maple]

I don't like eating eggs

[tranquil cosmos]

I'd rather eat all yolks than all egg whites

[knotty crown]

Neither do vegans.

[celest maple]

Especially fried

[warm plover]

I don't like eggs either
Except half boiled eggs
Half boiled eggs can stay

[celest maple]

I can only eat scrambled eggs with a pile of ketchup

[heavy dew]

I’ll eat everything food wise

[knotty crown]

Deviled eggs are amazing tho

[serene stratus]

Your tastes can definitely change as you grow up. I hated broccoli as a kid, now I love it

[warm plover]

food i dont like:

• eggs
• shrimp
• lobster (mostly bc i think the way theyre cooked is fucked up)

[celest maple]

ME TOO I HATE THINGS WITH SHELLS

[knotty crown]

It also really does depend on how food is fixed. I dislike cabbage but love cabbage soup. I dislike raw black olives, but love them sliced then cooked/heated.

[warm plover]

water are you in SEA or australia

[restive granite]

I guess you could say you ate'ed broccoli

[tropic sand]

I just love food, tbh

[bright forge]

Blood?

[heavy dew]

Vibe..

[warm plover]

I like drinking blood :)

[celest maple]

Oh im just somewhere in asia

[serene stratus]

Absolutely. Baked broccoli with a dash of salt & pepper is chef's kiss

[heavy dew]

I eat blood pudding so I guess?

[warm plover]

Ah ok, was just wondering cause we have the same timezone and I barely ever meet other people from Western Australia
I'm so lonely

[celest maple]

Pig's blood?

[knotty crown]

Not the same thing, and also don't do it too much. More than just a lick can be really bad for you. This is something vampire subculture points out and enforces so no one gets sick.

[warm plover]

People blood (my own) :)

[celest maple]

FILIPINOS CAN YOU HEAR ME

[plucky hedge]

whats up palia sims 5

[serene stratus]

Additionally, I can't stand cooked spinach but I will happily eat spinach leaf salads

[smoky trellis]

pigs blood is also very chinese and korean

[warm plover]

I got into a habit of licking my wounds for some reason 🤷

[celest maple]

I like seeing myself bleed

[knotty crown]

I like boiled/steamed spinach, with cream or cheese.

[tawdry pawn]

pigs blood are great

[bright forge]

Same

[fallen sun]

I unironically despise pineapple in all its wretched forms

[celest maple]

It gives me satisfaction

[warm plover]

Pineapple is okay. I don't mind it.

[knotty crown]

I watch every single time they take my blood with a needle. It's kinda relaxing honestly.

[bright forge]

I do it to

[tranquil cosmos]

Is it because it tries to eat you back

[celest maple]

I hate eggplants

[serene stratus]

Ah but we've veered waaaaay off palia chat topics 😬

[smoky trellis]

pineapple bbq is nice especially using it sitting on top of nice fatty meat

[celest maple]

Both the texture and taste

[knotty crown]

Same. Supposedly saliva helps it heal, tho idk if that's rubbish or not.

[fallen sun]

Nah, cause it tastes like ass

[warm plover]

the nature of palia-chat is that at some point it always becomes food-and-noms

[silent cairn]

there is just no way around it

[knotty crown]

You must have had some wild nights to think that...

[warm plover]

nice new pfp sane

[celest maple]

Whether its early in the morning or late at night we somehow always come back to food

[tranquil cosmos]

Are you guys drawing Einar for this art week?

[tawdry pawn]

So do we have cooking in Palia tho

[knotty crown]

Someone PIN this.

[bright forge]

It might be weird but I do it for taste

[serene stratus]

So let's see. What do yall think we'll be able to grow in Palia? How many veggies? What about fruit trees? How many dishes might we be able to make?

[knotty crown]

The iron taste is good, yes.

[warm plover]

I'll be upset if that gets pinned but my actually helpful things don't

[bright forge]

[celest maple]

Perin is vampire confirmed

[warm plover]

Btw Otter have you been lurking? I haven't seen you around for a while

[knotty crown]

I'm going to grow carnivorous plants. Then put down human-sized tubes and grow homunculi.

[silent cairn]

thanks! It's a lil drawing of me a friend did a while back and I've been in a more cutesy mood ever since joining here, so I thought i'd fit

[rose bison]

BTW like stagnant Water comment to know if you need to be 18 or above to be alph atester
Pls

[serene stratus]

Oooh that sounds fun and useful

[tranquil cosmos]

I just got busy But yeah, also lurking

[celest maple]

I did

[warm plover]

aw

[fallen sun]

Ambitious! They can be a lot of extra work, but theyre real neat

[knotty crown]

Yes, homunculi are very neat.

[heavy dew]

You are always welcome back and welcome to lurk @tranquil cosmos

[knotty crown]

But they keep on making dams...

[tranquil cosmos]

You could always summon me lol, I'll show up unless I'm sleeping

[tropic sand]

I’m curious if it will be vegetables and plants that we all know or if it will be things that only exist in Palia. Lots of new plants, foods and animals for us to discover

[tawdry pawn]

It would be nice to be able to breed your own horses.

[fallow ingot]

hello hello c:

[fallen sun]

You need to be able to sign a legal agreement. You may need a parent to do so

[rose bison]

That s good

[knotty crown]

................

[tranquil cosmos]

That's a beaver...

[warm plover]

summons you

[rose bison]

Well i hope my parents can do so

[knotty crown]

same difference

[tawdry pawn]

Not exactly horses, other things

[serene stratus]

Ah great question! Are they inventing new veggies and fruits

[restive granite]

Chats moving too fast

[celest maple]

Slow mode wont stop us

[tropic sand]

Read faster

[bright forge]

I'm just weird that's all

[restive granite]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-gif-5593963

[celest maple]

Sure buddy

[serene stratus]

New veggies would take some time to think up and design, but could add a lot of uniqueness to the game

[knotty crown]

Next you're going to tell me platypi don't make dams either.

[celest maple]

GET THE GARLIC AND STAKE

[steel orchid]

o.o

[heavy dew]

Damn, who knew @knotty crown

[knotty crown]

No, get the garlic and steak.

[heavy dew]

^ this is better

[fallen sun]

Ive never seen beavers kill a crocodile

[bright forge]

I love garilc!

[celest maple]

Don't think you're safe already perin

[knotty crown]

They actually do tho.

[celest maple]

Im going on a witch hunt but for vampires

[tropic sand]

Agreed. Either way, I am excited to find out

[knotty crown]

We need more beavers in Florida.

[steel orchid]

ive seen saegulls eating pigeons

[knotty crown]

I want all plants in the game to be unique. Animals too.

[bright forge]

Van Helsing style

[restive granite]

My back it itches
