#yeetrin

[lament eagle]

will there be another chance for pre-Alpha ??🥺 👉👈

[green kraken]

Don’t yeet the Rin! You monster!

[ocean stone]

protecc rin at all costs!

[peak cargo]

Think they said 1000 items for decorating, so far. Right?

[green kraken]

To arms! To arms!

[warm plover]

Probably not, as far as we know. We'll just have to wait for alpha :)

[ocean stone]

[warm plover]

I dont remember this being mentioned but i could be wrong

[lament eagle]

[silent cairn]

I think they might have said something like the items being in the thousands? not like a specific number but something along these lines

[warm plover]

i do remember them saying you could put stuff wherever, but that you couldnt glitch items into each other

[serene stratus]

Where was this mentioned?

[tulip wagon]

I think I remember a very early IGN article stating as much.

[woeful sedge]

Pretty sure of that, yeah. Also moooorning!!

[keen latch]

My hope is that they have a optional snap system for placing, but free movement as well

[warm plover]

oh yeah an optional grid would be great

that way i can actually line chairs up with tables...

[serene stratus]

Good timezone all!

[keen latch]

I'm seeing all these new tags! at this point I know art is a neighborhood but what about the others

[warm plover]

Genshin housing is making me suffer
I'm trying so hard to put these chairs in a line but i cant...!

I know of QoL, TWC, ART and Hidden Valley

[keen latch]

Have you tried hacking the game 🧐

[woeful sedge]

I haven’t seen any of the other QoL people as much recently. although that’s probably because I haven’t been here much recently lol

[warm plover]

oh i havent seen them either

[rancid void]

Hi all! I'm new here 😄

[woeful sedge]

Hi! Hope you’re enjoying it so far

[tulip wagon]

Hi new here, I'm Offal!

[buoyant heath]

Welcome!

[cosmic ruin]

I’ve never been so excited for a game since I was a little kid!

[buoyant heath]

[woeful sedge]

I KNEW it

[rancid void]

Just saw the trailer, and omg, it looks amazing!

[rancid void]

dad jokes

[keen latch]

New Chuu gang?

[arctic onyx]

Yuuuh

[warm plover]

btw hi ivy

[woeful sedge]

hiiii! I was camping, so it’s been a bit

[surreal crest]

RINBOI

[cinder temple]

Hello to everyone who's just joined - including you, the person reading this who's just a little too scared to say anything and is hiding in a blanket with their legs crossed and their chin in their left hand as they scroll chat.

[tulip wagon]

I only deal in occasional puns. I don't want to get sued by @buoyant heath

[rancid void]

you are living life on a thin line I see

[keen latch]

DadJoke probably has a patent byt this point

[warm plover]

hi chairy

Ohh I havent said hi to the lurkers in a long time thanks for reminding me sim
HI LURKERSSSS

[surreal crest]

yeah we see you lurkers

[warm plover]

btw if you want a colored name you can grab one in #📃│server-directory

[buoyant heath]

Yes?

[rancid void]

hahahaha

[woeful sedge]

Love y’all

[rancid void]

just

[tulip wagon]

See? I don't mess with the best

[keen latch]

Offal will just sit with his platypi on a hill

[buoyant heath]

@rancid void how did you find out about Palia?

[rancid void]

Tiktok

Saw a Tiktok about it, rushed to see the trailer and then rushed even faster to aply for the pre alpha, and the I found the Discord!

[pastel harbor]

i also applied for the pre alpha, i hope ill be a part of it soon ;-;

i almost cried when i saw the trailer and some other videos

[warm plover]

Ah, the pre-alpha I think already has all its participants. the website just hasnt been updated for some reason, sorry
But the rest of us are holding out for alpha ❤️

[pastel harbor]

;___________________;

[rancid void]

Aaaah that is too bad, but oh well

[pastel harbor]

is there already a date for the alpha?

[buoyant heath]

Oh I didn't realize people were talking about it on tiktok, but I guess I should have figured.

[woeful sedge]

Unfortunately yeah. No news on when the alpha will be, but it’ll be worth the wait!

[warm plover]

The date for alpha is

aka it'll come when it comes

[pastel harbor]

soon sounds good ;-;

[rancid void]

yeah I think I will make TikTok about it as well, i really want people to see this, as it looks really cute ❤️

[pastel harbor]

omg @warm plover :DDD

[green kraken]

I’m hoping to be a tester too! I’ve got a few games under my belt, but only one alpha. It’s fun work!

[rancid void]

looking forward to it! At least happy I found this Discord so i can keep updated

[arctic onyx]

S6 is putting the testers to work so I can have a smooth experience at launch 😈

[green kraken]

That’s the job! Haha!

[warm plover]

Yeah! Let's all look forward to it

[peak cargo]

I think we are! :P

[buoyant heath]

I'd make a tiktok but I'm too old and they'd send the cool police after me

[rancid void]

I'm afraid I will be booted off as well after my birthday this month, too old, cant handle

[woeful sedge]

wee woo wee woo 🚓😎

[warm plover]

the only things i know about tiktok are that vocaloid songs are popular there and that theres an insane vegan lady whose diet got someone killed

[green kraken]

Woa Woa Woa.

[warm plover]

basically i dont want to go near it

[tulip wagon]

I just watch art

[green kraken]

Ye, I’m with ya.

[weak crypt]

I am 45 and my son just called me ancient 😭

[buoyant heath]

It's very abrupt. One day you say you're "vibing" and someone walks out of the shadows, throws your phone on the ground and stomps on it

[peak cargo]

There are also sea shanties!

[rancid void]

but is he wrong? No, I'm joking xD That sounds rough xD

[rancid void]

oooh god not the shadow thrower 😦

[peak cargo]

Something i ofc want in a palia sea exansion!

[woeful sedge]

My teammates always made me be in their tiktoks

[weak crypt]

Yes, well, I felt really old after that! Hehe....

[warm plover]

Don't worry we have people from all sorts of age ranges here
I think there was a 70 year old person in chat yesterday

[silent cairn]

yeah, terry was awesome

[tulip wagon]

I worked with a (then) 17 year old who though 20 was ancient, so I wouldn't worry yourself about it.

[woeful sedge]

Wow, that’s awesome!!!

[buoyant heath]

Just leaning over your walker, crying

[keen latch]

Actually it looks like most people who are intrested in this game are 30+

[rancid void]

if it's a consolation, I feel like i have the soul of an 80 year old at times xD

[keen latch]

its really awesome!

[warm plover]

I'm 19 and im interested because man
plant earth sure is a place huh

[tulip wagon]

Nah, we've got loads of wee babby Pals in here

[keen latch]

Mood

[tulip wagon]

The demographic is wide and mighty

[woeful sedge]

We represent the youths!!!

[warm plover]

baby gang

[silent cairn]

It would be a bit bold to say that for sure at this point, but there does seem to be a very significant amount of adults and even older people hanging around here.

[rancid void]

I was sold on the "its a cozy wow" sounds like a deal for me

[weak crypt]

Would not surprise me. Everyone else are too busy with shooters or with swords and stuff. I plan to sit on the pier, side by side Einar and fish! I am sure tha would be considered booooring for most of those kids.

[keen latch]

Fair enough, I revise my statement to, "Palia be wack and attracting all da humans"

[silent cairn]

wack in a good way

[keen latch]

the best way

[woeful sedge]

We did a poll the one time and it was pretty much split evenly between 20-30 and 30-40, with a few 10-20s and a couple above 40

[rancid void]

the young padawan

[weak crypt]

Yep! I plan to teach Einar all i know! 😎

[tulip wagon]

This game is what a lot of people have been waiting for.

[warm plover]

nonhumans too
duck said he was interested after all

[tulip wagon]

It's nice that someone is finally scratching that itch

[woeful sedge]

And chairs, and goats, and turtles, etc etc

[tulip wagon]

I saw a llama the other day

[keen latch]

Fair enough, I revise my statement to, "Palia be wack and attracting all da sentient homies"

[warm plover]

im not sentient

[woeful sedge]

We are a menagerie

[keen latch]

wait I forgot about chair shoot

[warm plover]

i have no capacity for sentient thought. cat noises

[tulip wagon]

I'm still trying to absorb whack being a positive.

[wintry wasp]

Time to slap everything off of tables Rin. LETS ROLL! ... I do wonder if Palia will let us troll friends like that...

[green kraken]

That would be so fun!

[keen latch]

I revise my statement to, "Palia be wack cool and attracting all da Non-Specific homies"

[tulip wagon]

bleeds from the ear a bit

[woeful sedge]

Good natured trolling is always fun

[warm plover]

as long as theyre paper plates and not ceramic ones

i dont wanna break anything permanently

[wintry wasp]

Friendly trolling is why I miss being in the office for work... But I don't wanna go back.

[buoyant heath]

I think it's when you take away the guns and swords, people come up with the really amazing ways to play together

[warm plover]

waterguns and nerf swords

[keen latch]

Snow ball fight?

[tulip wagon]

Did you just come up with a new Palian profession?
Someone can make paper!!!

[green kraken]

Has there been any word on if you can cook in game? Cuz I live for cooking and fishing! 🍝🎣

[wintry wasp]

If they isn't cooking in a game like this, I feel like we're legally obliged to riot. (I don't actually condone violence and riots.)

[green kraken]

Yeah yeah!

[patent gazelle]

Have a wonderful day everyone.

[weak crypt]

Hear hear!

[keen latch]

[S6] Neleimour — 06/10/2021
9. Will we need to eat/drink or sleep?

Question by: Hayden

Hey, Hayden!

These activities are not strictly required, but they will all have a variety of benefits in the game that make engaging in professions like cooking have real worth. From an incentives perspective, these systems are oriented around having strong benefits for engaging with them over strong penalties for not.

https://tenor.com/view/sweater-put-on-sweaters-mr-rogers-wont-you-be-my-neighbor-gif-13329321

[green kraken]

Love it! Thanks!!

[weak crypt]

Also, fishing; I will save you a seat by the pier! Me and Einar will be fishing for sure!

[warm plover]

They also said something about a good cook giving more benefits than a bad cook iirc?

[peak cargo]

Hope people are having a good day today! ^^

[green kraken]

Heck yes! Woo!

[wintry wasp]

WAIT. An MMO where it can be like IRL where I don't cook well? 😄

[tulip wagon]

You don't cook? Why do you hate science???

[warm plover]

the almost certainly confirmed skills iirc are... fishing, hunting, bug catching and farming, i think
i have cooking and mining written down in a "maybe" underneath that, probably because i wasnt sure if there was a skill level to raise for them or something...

[weak crypt]

IRL Cooking?? Not good. I do not want to kill my guests 😮

[wintry wasp]

No no. You mis understand. I'm just bad at it. My brand of ADHD doesn't play well with cooking.

[weak crypt]

I am just bad at cooking....

[tulip wagon]

Come over, both of ya. I'll cook something.

[warm plover]

are you gonna forge the meal

[weak crypt]

Cool! We will bring fish! Just keep the chapaas away. From what i understand they like to nick stuff, like fresh fish...

[tulip wagon]

Yes, meow-face

[warm plover]

meow. gimme foodles please\

[tulip wagon]

Always got a plate for ya

[warm plover]

i dont like fish that much saber :(

[keen latch]

I'll provide the catnip and veggies

[green kraken]

🥗?

[warm plover]

isnt catnip like a cat drug

[vernal knot]

hey, good morning everyone

[wintry wasp]

There. Name further improved.

[green kraken]

Ye! Though my cats love the grass I grow for them much more, haha!

[tulip wagon]

🍖
Mmmm... so tastey!

[keen latch]

cats go nuts for it, are you suuuuure you are a local house cat🧐

[warm plover]

i practice restraint
also i heard that catnip acts as an aphrodisiac for cats and that sounds like an embarrassing time for me

[tulip wagon]

Different cats react differently. My cat I had as a kid would watch tv and fall asleep on the coffee table when she was on the nip.

Things she never did sober

[buoyant heath]

I want to make Fire Nation Flaming Fire Flakes

[green kraken]

By the look they seem like super spicy bacon bits to me!

[tulip wagon]

@versed sail

She's a Baconmancer.
I didn't mean to kill the chat!

[cinder temple]

Likely story.

[surreal crest]

ey yo I don't think you killed the chat
most people are probably busy
or sleeping, which in fact makes them busy too

[tulip wagon]

I keep hearing about this sleeping thing. No idea what it is.

[green kraken]

Yeah yeah! No worries!!

[wintry wasp]

Sleep is one of the worst implemented features in the game called "Real Life"

[green kraken]

True, but the graphics are pretty great!

[wintry wasp]

Eh. I need extra hardware for full graphics. 😐

[green kraken]

Damn micro transactions!

[regal swallow]

Happy Timezone my fellow Pals. Which adventure are we headed to next?

[tulip wagon]

Quick! To the mouse wheel!

[regal swallow]

Shrew runs for a while on the mouse wheel

[tulip wagon]

tries to keep up!

[storm basin]

So this is going to be a FFA PvP game with full loot and perma death right?

😬

[tulip wagon]

Yeah and lots of griefing haxx

[storm basin]

Lolol

[buoyant heath]

Offal the Chatsmiter

[tulip wagon]

Has a nice ring to it

I saw that, Shrew. And I will never be the same.

This is it lads, this is what powers Palia. (Feat. Rin complaining in the background)

[peak cargo]

[dreamy ginkgo]

Just discoverd this! As a casual player with background in alot of MMO and got tierd of being tryhard. This seems to be it!!

[regal swallow]

[cinder temple]

Sup pal! Welcome to the server.

[worthy rose]

[warm plover]

[buoyant heath]

Can't wait to open some Palia loot boxes, get some sweet weapon skins, and bring home that winner winner chicken dinner

[worthy rose]

[warm plover]

Welcome! There are a couple docs in the pins that might help you catch up. feel free to ask questions as long as theyre not about a release date or about how much the game will cost

[dreamy ginkgo]

[warm plover]

[buoyant heath]

Rin v Rixn

[warm plover]

[wintry wasp]

Yo, I got this knife skin for a chef knife. I'll sell it to you for 5000USD. 😄

[vale sluice]

@dreamy ginkgo I have arrived too brochachoo 😛

[dreamy ginkgo]

haha lets go!

[vale sluice]

That video got me interested for sure 😛

[celest maple]

hey, what's up

[ocean stone]

Hi fren:3 how are you

[little shadow]

Good morning did they confirm bees yet

[arctic onyx]

Ayo is that huahwi from minecraft?

[celest maple]

lol nah

i'm an artist

[arctic onyx]

like how huahwi perfected the art of minecraft pvp?

[green kraken]

Bees!? 🐝

[worthy rose]

what

[green kraken]

Mild asked if they’ve confirmed Bees yet. I presume they mean in-game!

[worthy rose]

fun fact, bees can't play woodwind instruments

[green kraken]

Ye-yeah............ fact yo.

[ocean stone]

Nish, I would like to subscribe to more bee facts pls.

[worthy rose]

Fun fact, bees are commonly thought to be insects, but theyre actually a type of fish

[buoyant heath]

How do I get money into your research program so we can spread this information to the masses?

[worthy rose]

I dont use money. I'm a free thinker

[ocean stone]

A bee thinker more like

[tulip wagon]

What if we pay you in empty crisp packets? They're super crinkley

[buoyant heath]

We still need some way to work up some buzz around this

[worthy rose]

Fun fact, bees are much too weak to use catapults so they tend to favor trebuchets

[tulip wagon]

I heard bees prefer soft cheese over hummus

[ocean stone]

I may or may not be imagining just bees being launched as projectiles 👀

[cinder temple]

Gonna need a catapult to get you wild beasts back on the topic of Palia.

[worthy rose]

What if palia had bees that could use catapults?

[tulip wagon]

New want for Palia to add to my list. I want a hedgehog. I want to grow raspberries and mangoes, and catch slugs for it to eat.

[ocean stone]

On a scale of shimmerfly to einar , how big would the bees be? how big would the catapults? what would the bees be catapulting, pebbles?

[worthy rose]

4x einar

[buoyant heath]

I think the first people to use bees in trebuchets was the Buzzantine Empire

[wintry wasp]

Speaking of raspberries... I think I need to eat some.

[tulip wagon]

This is always a great idea.

[short thorn]

That's hard to bee-lieve

[buoyant heath]

Don't be a buzz kill

[short thorn]

Nah I'm only bugging you

[buoyant heath]

Don't worry about it, honey

[tulip wagon]

If a Palian Bee could ride a horse, would in be a Pollen-mino?

[ocean stone]

Oh so that's how they got their tone

[short thorn]

Sounds good bee-by 😘

[tulip wagon]

Of course of course

[ocean stone]

So what's the buzz today folks

[worthy rose]

Bees

[tulip wagon]

There was a big ol bumble in my garden yesterday that was fatter than a plastic bottle cap. Flew off before I could get a pic. He bee shy.

[ocean stone]

How dare. You made 'im buzz right off

I guess you were just beein' yourself though.

[tulip wagon]

You all larvae me, admit it

crickets chirrup

I'll get my coat

[ocean stone]

Mom, I think you're pretty great, and also I think we all need to bee kind, bee have, and be talking back about Palia. I hate to bee that person

[wind ibex]

[ocean stone]

Oddball!

Omg my phone autocorrected Oddball to Offal the first time xD

[tulip wagon]

Proud of you, babby.

[ocean stone]

[wind ibex]

Watching the two of you trade puns brought a smile to my face. Really looking forward to playing Palia with you wonderful people.

[short thorn]

Oddfal

[tulip wagon]

I can't wait to make you some sturdy tools!

[green kraken]

All this Bee y’all makes me really hope we can keep hives in game! 🍯

[ocean stone]

Aww you're the bees knees oddball!

[tulip wagon]

I'm sure we'll need honey for cooking!

[green kraken]

Yeah!! ♥️

[tulip wagon]

I hope we can grow tea.

[green kraken]

GASP!!! Yes! Tea!! And coffee beans!!

Small orchards too ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[tulip wagon]

🍵

[wintry wasp]

Ooooo. I want to make maple-like syrup.

[green kraken]

That sounds so wonderful!

I’m looking forward to growing flowers too! Garden boxes maybe, to decorate with! Like on windowsills~

[wintry wasp]

I'm going to go make some coffee and sweeten it with some maple syrup myself.

[ocean stone]

Is maple like syrup a maple syrup variant

[wintry wasp]

Also: We'd need syrup if we get our pancake hat.

[green kraken]

A hat for every occasion~

[lament eagle]

[shrewd idol]

Hi hi

[odd matrix]

Hello everyone been working a lot so I haven't been able to hop in, hope everyone is doing well!

[warm plover]

thought you were gonna feed the slugs to the mangoes

[wooden rose]

im not gonna do well until I try this game out

[wind ibex]

Many of us share those feelings, and thus we are here to talk and keep each other company while we wait for Palia.

[iron oxide]

In the meanwhile if you want a cute relaxing game to play there's Spiritfarer.

Or My Time at Portia. There's also a really cute paper mario-inspired platformer coming out tomorrow called "Here Comes Niko!" which is all about relaxing and taking it easy.

[nova raven]

100% to Spiritfarer! But maybe have some tissues ready

Pinging you in other games @iron oxide !

[warm plover]

I would play Spiritfarer if I wasn't afraid it would crush me completely

[carmine relic]

Stardew Valley is also nice

[warm plover]

everyone seems to love stardew valley and i think its cute but i could never get that far into it
i see people with their huge pretty farms and im like.... nope

i will have a 4x3 plot of cabbages and thats it

[carmine relic]

It takes a good deal of time to actually get anywhere. Having a friend does help!

I feel we should move to #🎮│other-games before turtoise shows up

[warm plover]

i just hate the monotony of doing the same thing over and over
and every morning you have to water all your crops which takes all day and you have to plant things manually which means you have to run around everywhere and ugh

[cinder temple]

Obey the turt and no one gets hurt. 🐢

[warm plover]

🐢

Looks like Wizard is doing the villager vote this week

[safe fern]

Oooh it's vote time

[wind ibex]

[zinc scarab]

1️⃣

[arctic onyx]

2 is a pretty strong number

[short thorn]

2️⃣

[ocean stone]

pretty even if you ask me

[arctic onyx]

That’s the wrong number 😤

[true atlas]

Is the whole alpha under NDA at this time?

[short thorn]

Just as I expected, as soon as I bought it up, number two started gaining on 1

[arctic onyx]

Always has been

[zinc scarab]

False

[safe fern]

Elouise is so messy lol

[wintry wasp]

Wait. So what happens if we make it a 3 way tie in the vote?

[buoyant heath]

No, that's The Band

[arctic onyx]

Ragnarok

[warm plover]

we were so adamant about freeing ashura and now we have no love for santa hat man

[true atlas]

I figured but I wanted to double check before I tried to go find some YouTube vids or streamers lol. I honestly would have been surprised if you had said no.

[warm plover]

you guys have double standards

[wintry wasp]

I support this! Lets make it happen! 😄

[true atlas]

Also thank you

[short thorn]

I want Top Gun and Engineer waifu first before Santa Clause

[zinc scarab]

It’s too early for Christmas I’ll vote for him in November

[buoyant heath]

Vote 3 for Justice

[worthy comet]

I wanna know who number two is

[peak cargo]

If 2️⃣ does not win I call this rigged! 😅

[warm plover]

number two is gremlin

[short thorn]

I'd love if their name was Hoagie

[warm plover]

free twink santa

[remote latch]

I voted for 3 .. I feel he'll be another Ashura .. almost as many failed votes now

[drifting ore]

3 looks like a silly head. Thats why I want 3

[warm plover]

3️⃣

[arctic onyx]

2 is the only way

[keen latch]

Twink santa is in prison fora reason

[zinc scarab]

1️⃣

[short thorn]

2️⃣

[arctic onyx]

I will fight the entire Palia discord for 2 😤💀

[deep yoke]

1️⃣

[short thorn]

I won't die on this hill bc I don't want to die yet but I will defend it

[lone crane]

3 cause he seems like a cool person from the stance alone

[arctic onyx]

Ayo it’s Mr Montblanc 👀

Nahh he’s going with 3 😫

[lone crane]

"take me seriously" while wearing a Santa hat??? What type of goofy nonsense is this.

[true atlas]

I picked 1 bc I like the hair

[dim oxide]

Nobody voting for santa claus in the villager vote 🥲

[lone crane]

Aight just for you, my votes on 2.

[buoyant heath]

Emmy, I got your back with the big 3 vote

[warm plover]

Are we calling 3 santa hat or twink santa now

[dim oxide]

lets gooooooo

[lone crane]

Santa hat cause the other name is totally not pg13 :l

[dim oxide]

👀

[warm plover]

santa hat it is then

also

one of our goggled villagers
new palia lore. more than one person has goggles in bahari

[random lagoon]

[warm plover]

[dim oxide]

damn

[lone crane]

[buoyant heath]

Try harder

[lone crane]

Aight later guys see you next vote

[arctic onyx]

If 2 doesn’t win

[warm plover]

how funny would it be if it turned out santa hat actually was wearing a santa hat

[arctic onyx]

I will invest 30 mill into a palia knockoff named Coolia

[buoyant heath]

Cozlia

[warm plover]

Friendia

[surreal crest]

no one wants santa hat XD

[woeful sedge]

[warm plover]

[woeful sedge]

Good, I’m training for cross country season

[dull shard]

[warm plover]

We dont know the details on them yet
Their appearance was known since the start anyway, since they're on palia.com

[peak monolith]

Ooh ambitious!!

[woeful sedge]

It’s so sad seeing 3 always with such a low count

[silent cairn]

[warm plover]

[woeful sedge]

That being said, 1 looks like they’ll be hot, and ya know

[warm plover]

[silent cairn]

[warm plover]

what other titles work for him
"that guy"

[surreal crest]

this guy, that guy

[warm plover]

guess ill stick to 1 for now

[wind ibex]

2️⃣

[silent cairn]

I think it looks like he either has a shield on his back or shoulder pads so it can be something warrior related?

[wind ibex]

Could just be a hat...

[ocean tinsel]

I think he's a prince or somebody

important

[woeful sedge]

He has that aura

[ocean tinsel]

stance, hair, smile-that-I-can-somehow-still-see

[woeful sedge]

I’m getting closed off royal prince that the protagonist hates but eventually falls in love with vibes

[buoyant heath]

That's a lot of vibes from a silhouette.

I'm impressed with the creativity

[ocean tinsel]

Closed off isn't my impression

[woeful sedge]

Yeah you’re right. Cocky impatient prince that annoys the protagonist until they fall in love

[ocean tinsel]

There ya go

[flint igloo]

I voted 2 and since I have been on the wrong side of the the vote every time you know who not to vote for 😂

[short thorn]

Ah yes, Tsundere prince

[ocean tinsel]

honestly reminds me a bit more of the prince Hans from Frozen

[woeful sedge]

OMG YES

[ocean tinsel]

pings Neimour can we get an outline of his horse? 😂

[flint igloo]

Oh wait. 2 is 1 previous. Wow. Am I sleepy brained or just confused?

[ocean tinsel]

Yes, all of the above

I am too..........

[celest maple]

Is it a mistake or intentional? I had to vote on him for thr memes if anything xD

[flint igloo]

Note to self, Do not drive today or make important decisions. Major confused

[ocean tinsel]

I've been voting for Hans since the first time i saw his shadow

[woeful sedge]

Yep he’s Hans now

[celest maple]

Important decisions are always best made with minimum brainage xD

[woeful sedge]

Rin we found a name

[ocean tinsel]

He's better be named Hans or imma be very disappointed

[warm plover]

i guess hes hans

s6 devs are scrambling trying to replace all instances of his name with hans

[celest maple]

Hans is our friend

[ocean tinsel]

I'd give them so much respect if they did that

[wintry wasp]

So wait. Was this week's #2 accidentally revealed visually last week and they just rolled with it?

[warm plover]

yeah

[woeful sedge]

Doubt it but that would be amazing lol

[wintry wasp]

(I R typo master. Don't mind my typos. I fix when I see.)

[celest maple]

Beautiful hat

[ocean tinsel]

Has everyone forgotten the power of the 8 meme yet?

[warm plover]

what was it again? 8 and 41?

[ocean stone]

(I just usually leave mine to be eroded by the sands of time)

[celest maple]

I never knew it to begin with :,(

[warm plover]

i forgot the other number

[ocean stone]

49 & 8

[woeful sedge]

49 I think

[wintry wasp]

(I tried that but if I see it, it bothers me too much. lol)

[ocean tinsel]

confusion

[nova raven]

Typos are a form of Chaos and Chaos must reign supreme!

[ocean stone]

[ocean tinsel]

[worthy rose]

8s are weak and their bloodline wont make it through the winter

[warm plover]

hi creeperrrr i almost called you creepy as a pet name that wouldve been weird

[ocean stone]

Will someone who is not me or Nish or dadjoke explain the significance of the numbers

[celest maple]

I love how many people are voting on #2 xD reminds me of when they wanted to reveal the big fella

[worthy rose]

I refuse

[ocean stone]

Check that edit tho

[warm plover]

dibs not it

[nova raven]

Creepy, while it may be true, I think would sting too much after awhile.

[ocean tinsel]

all the invites got sent out 8 mins after the turn of the hour (for pre-alpha)

[magic lance]

Zenzizenzizenzic – This wondrous word means to the power of eight.

[woeful sedge]

Basically, for the pre-alpha invites they were sent out at xx:49 and xx:08, and people cottoned on and made a cult out of it

[warm plover]

its always cults with us innit

[buoyant heath]

Nah

[celest maple]

Kinda fitting with thr village style content, no?

[wintry wasp]

Wait? A cult? Where? I must rebel

[ocean stone]

🇺

[worthy rose]

you can always join the cult against cinna

it's just me right now but we're gaining traction in rural areas

[ocean stone]

Fixed it

[warm plover]

what did cinna do

[ocean tinsel]

It isn't just you anymore

[nova raven]

[worthy rose]

back in 2003 in Brazil she tripped me

[buoyant heath]

Thanks bro

[celest maple]

Any time there is an awakening of a cult you join in, no questions asked

[ocean stone]

We had an agreement!

[warm plover]

ah, i see. so that was your villain arc

[worthy rose]

the agreement is off

[nova raven]

Unless it's a pyramid scheme. Those cults aren't cool

[ocean stone]

And here I was thinking you're the bees knees

[nova raven]

How do you write a redemption arc for this?

[celest maple]

Yea, gotta be the top of the pyramid for thst one to work, still need followers though xD

[ocean stone]

I still think you're the bees knees nish, even if you are organizing against me

[ocean tinsel]

Join the cult of people who send me pancakes

[worthy rose]

trust me it's very unorganized

[celest maple]

You guys are actually too fun xD

[remote latch]

hmm methinks Wizard Crab left a clue in #📮│public-polls 'one of our goggled villagers' .. does that mean there are other goggled villagers ? .. so maybe the goggles aren't specific to that villager after all.

[celest maple]

Maybe the goggles is the sign of...... a cult???

[remote latch]

another cult sigh

[ocean stone]

you have cult in your name:3

[remote latch]

noooooooo

[woeful sedge]

You can’t even trust yourself

[remote latch]

time for a quick name change 😛

[celest maple]

When thr game comes out there's gonna be enough cults for rvery player to be in their very own individual one... and it'll be a war to acquire followers

[ocean tinsel]

She also has culture in her name'

something none of us have

[warm plover]

the true pain of not being a prealpha tester is not having access to the tau petting animation that probably exists

[peak monolith]

I like a good cult, it´s always nice^^

[buoyant heath]

[warm plover]

so what are you guys up to

[wintry wasp]

FF14, TikTok and pretending to work.

[short thorn]

watching anime before I go for my driving lessons

[ocean tinsel]

Playing Wizard101 for lack of anything better to do

also watching a youtube video, reading a guide, and chatting here

[warm plover]

wizard101 is still alive?

[ocean tinsel]

Very much so

[warm plover]

its been around for so long...
i actually liked it when i was a kid but i never got out of the first area on account of, you know, not having money

maybe i should try it again...?????

[ocean tinsel]

yea, my dad paid for it so we could play together

and it's quite fun i'd be happy to help you out. if we want to continue this, we should prolly move to #🎮│other-games

[warm plover]

oke

[celest maple]

Hi

[zinc scarab]

I can support this idea

[shrewd cosmos]

t

[short thorn]

What's the opposite of a cult?

[warm plover]

socialism

[wind ibex]

And atheist.

[subtle plover]

Gooood afternoon, Pals!

[wind ibex]

And Rin, he said opposite.

[subtle plover]

How's everyone doing today?

[warm plover]

i just wanted to try giving an outlandish answer with complete confidence to see if people would go with it

[wind ibex]

Dealing with kidney stones ><

[warm plover]

I'm vibing today
just learnt that wizard 101 is still alive

[subtle plover]

Oooof

[buoyant heath]

You don't start learning the important stuff until Wizard 301

[remote latch]

I thought that was Wizard 901

[sullen bison]

About to have breakfast and ignore that it's 13:40

[buoyant heath]

Wizard Hills 90210

[warm plover]

ive never been to university idk what these numbers mean

[sullen bison]

I've been to university and still don't know lol (is it an American thing?)

[remote latch]

I think its an American thing .. but I could be wrong .. I know we didn't use those terms when I was at school

[short thorn]

Honestly confidence is key, and Rin had me believing

Oh they're like zip codes, if I got the context right

For a specific building and location so postage and people can find the location easier

[wind ibex]

101 is entry college level, sub 100 is HS.

[remote latch]

90210 is a zip code .. 101 is a level of teaching of a class

[short thorn]

Yeah I was talking about the 90something number

Wasn't paying attention to the 101 number tho

[sullen bison]

Oh yeah that's a zip, I thought we were talking about the 101/301 thing

[buoyant heath]

7. Numbering System

Most colleges follow a standard alphanumeric system of identifying their classes. For example:

ENG101
ENG: English Department
The first number indicates year (101 = Freshman level class)

101/Freshman, 201/Sophomore, 301/Junior, 401/Senior

Anything above these numbers is usually a graduate level course.

The last two numbers indicate subject level relative to other classes offered in that department (ENG101 = Basic English course).

[wind ibex]

90210 is a zipcode, also refers to a TV show that took place in said zipcode.

[celest maple]

Common sense?

[remote latch]

rofl I just guessed that 901 would be better than 101 .. sweet

[remote latch]

freedom ?

[buoyant heath]

So like you'd take 301, then 302, then maybe a 305 or something

[short thorn]

In my college classes we have 4 digits. Like English 1301 is English Literature 1, and vice versa

I mean yes you guys aren't wrong

[scarlet hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/viralhog-gun-fire-murica-flag-america-gif-12183553

[wind ibex]

If i remember right the # in the 1s digit is the semester.

[sullen bison]

Thanks for that!

[warm plover]

do things like 102 exist

[buoyant heath]

Yes

101 is a freshman introductory course, so the second course in that area of study would be 102

[wind ibex]

but 102 would still be a freshman course.

[remote latch]

how old is a freshman usually ?

[warm plover]

if the professor doesnt have exactly 100 classes they are executed in front of the school

[wind ibex]

18

[buoyant heath]

In the US? 18 or 19

[remote latch]

Ah so college/university level for us Brits

[warm plover]

i dont get the difference between college and university

[wind ibex]

The difference is money.

[scarlet hatch]

freshman refers to first year college/uni

[remote latch]

college is for regular people ..university is if you have bank of mum and dad with lots of money 🙂

[scarlet hatch]

America doesn't have grade 13 either like some Europoean countries

[buoyant heath]

So do you think they have colleges or universities for things in Palia? 🐢

[scarlet hatch]

in a fantasy game it would make sense to have universities, colleges would depict classist balances

[remote latch]

they do have an institute for human studies

[wind ibex]

Palia seems like a place that would have more trade schools than Uni's

[scarlet hatch]

a uni could have trades, its a video game

[warm plover]

they have the Bahari Institute

[buoyant heath]

Oh yeah, Jina's card said she is/was an apprentice for the Bahari Institute.

[remote latch]

rofl .. 13 year old gets home from school .. logs into Palia .. ugh .. school after school again sigh

[remote latch]

their parent gets home from work ... logs into Palia .. ugh work after work again sigh

[magic lance]

Not as much as you'ed think, main difference is the Research part of a Uni. grants degrees and the above in respective fields.

And the "Prestige" of going to a Uni.

[warm plover]

my highschool was called a college
i dont even know if we have any colleges here...

[glacial flicker]

Were there any news on Palia release date? How are the alpha testers doing?

[warm plover]

launch is much less than three years away, in a devs words
thats all we know

[lament eagle]

well i would probably guess close to end of the year

maybe beginning next year

[warm plover]

for a game in prealpha at the moment that would be exceptionally quick

[thin venture]

yeah that's crazy

[dire turtle]

speedrunning game development

[warm plover]

id wager around one and a half or two years maybe

but as always, its just a guess

[stiff zinc]

Two years and 3 months is my guess

[keen latch]

I'd say def a year, but most likely 2 years before beta

[stiff zinc]

Just in time for chrimbus

[thin venture]

festivus?

[keen latch]

release is def gonna go over 3 years, game dev timelines are always over shot

[keen latch]

haunakius

[stiff zinc]

Near some holiday in 2-3 years

Boom leaked👹

[keen latch]

[stiff zinc]

😳

[short thorn]

You have done the unspeakable

[keen latch]

MOOOOOOOODS

[short thorn]

[thin venture]

i dont think they have to because the way i see it they're not going for a game release then chill until expansion type of thing, so the constant updates and content would probably also mean they can afford to release it earlier than a regular "full game" would warrant

[wintry wasp]

Honestly, I think smaller studio games do good to avoid holiday season releases, since many of the hypermarketed titles also drop around then.

[warm plover]

its also been in development for three years already

[stiff zinc]

🛴

[glacial flicker]

2-3 years!? What the? Omg
😭😭

[thick spade]

game dev can take that long easily

[warm plover]

thats game development baybee
if its any comfort, we'll probably get an open alpha or beta at some point before then
but progress wont carry over to the full release

[wanton cradle]

I hope there is some kinda beta in a year or so this game looks interesting

[glacial flicker]

😩 but I'll be working by then,
With no time to ever play PC games again (probably)
I'm just gonna hope for a miracle

[wanton cradle]

I mean iv heard very little about the game I'm hoping it will release some information at least

[brittle rapids]

The fact of the matter is that nobody here really knows when will the game be released. Everybody is just guessing based on one dev saying it's going to be in less than 3 years (3 years, because they said it's already 3 years in development)

[warm plover]

they did say much less than three years so itll probably be sooner rather than later
but it is still pretty vague

[brittle rapids]

true

[dire turtle]

only time will tell

[rigid pier]

You can't imagine what will happen in 2 years

My life changed a lot in 6 months, imagine in 2-3 years

[remote latch]

Seeing as they have already said they are starting small and aim to be an ongoing project, they probably have a good idea on where and when everything will happen .. its just those hiccoughs en route that may delay things

[rigid pier]

Do you know if they will add DLC in the future ?

[remote latch]

I don't think it will be the case of DLCs .. just a constant update process .. but could be DLCs for bigger updates maybe .. they are aiming to be a game service .. release when ready and then add to it over time

[lament eagle]

well the moment a beta is here we will know i guess

[thick spade]

expansions here and there would be cool

[lament eagle]

i just thought they said something in a Q&A that it will be fairly soon

[remote latch]

That was likely the pre-alpha

[zinc scarab]

Whoa your name changed

[remote latch]

hahahaha

[random lagoon]

"is there a year we can expect this to be at least close to done?
Like done done? We expect to be a live service game and keep workin on it. If you just want to play its going to be really soon! Really soon!"

Doesn't sound like they were talking about the pre-alpha to me

[remote latch]

Well that was posted a week or two before the pre-alpha waves started

[warm plover]

could have been about an open alpha or beta

[remote latch]

But of course really soon to them could be a year or so .. after working 3 years already .. 1 or 2 years would seem like soon ..

[zinc scarab]

Is PNN a new neighborhood?

[remote latch]

Palia News Network .. based on a name Creeper was giving me 🙂

[warm plover]

it stands for Palia's Newest Neigjbourhood

[zinc scarab]

Oh lol

[wind ibex]

Only thing I have heard is they are expecting it to be released sooner than 3 years, and they don't want to talk about monetization yet.

[brittle halo]

oh dang, new server lore?

[rose cedar]

definition of soon is: a time between now and the end of time. so adding really to it does not affect it.

[lament eagle]

but ofc i prefer if they take there time to make it the best game possible

[warm plover]

hi grampa dilbert

[remote latch]

Of course .. seeing as I have never played a live service game before .. it might well be that once they hit Pre-Alpha it's smooth sailing - almost .. a few months then alpha .. a few months then closed beta .. a few months then open beta .. then release .. hard to say .. all depends on when they think it is ready for general release

[rose cedar]

hows it?

[wind ibex]

PNN would be a great name for a Palian newspaper.

[remote latch]

that was the idea 🙂 Hopefully there will be the ability to do something like that but if not .. maybe a website will suffice .. will see what the game shows me whenever I get to play

Creeper was calling me Magical News Roundup Person for the last week or so .. so thought I may as well make it somewhat official 🙂

[wind ibex]

What if the Devs actually put PNN at the top of newspapers in game?

[remote latch]

then I will change mine to PFM .. Palian Farmers Market 🙂

if of course there is the ability to create a farmers market 🙂

Although Palia is the world .. so it will probably change once I know whats in the game

[warm plover]

bahari news network

[remote latch]

yep .. something like that .. 🙂

[warm plover]

at this point im just assuming bahari is the name of the region

[wind ibex]

Rin, why are you still awake?

[buoyant heath]

Go to bed Rin

[remote latch]

probably if it is the name of the institute

[warm plover]

fiiiine im going to beddddddddd

[wind ibex]

Remember, cats need like 18 hours of sleep a day.

[warm plover]

sleep for a total of 800 hours per day

and then drink a liter of milk warm up before you go play

noone is going to get this reference nvm

[remote latch]

[rose cedar]

just a person who likes to sleep

[uneven pebble]

aww

i could definitely be friends with someone who likes to sleep

Me?

[wintry wasp]

I still would love for us to come together as a community and drive them insane by making a tie. LOL

[rose cedar]

already happened.

I think 3 is the "disreputable cook". Looks like he's got an apron on

[wintry wasp]

Ok so MOAR

[wind ibex]

maybe next week, but for this week 2️⃣

[lament eagle]

[wintry wasp]

[shrewd fiber]

Iron rusts. Music transcends.

become immaterial

[little silo]

Flesh decays. Knowledge is forgotten. The machine is forever.

[wintry wasp]

You know. I know what I should do (once I'm off my work call).

[shrewd fiber]

A broken machine
can't do anything
we replace the parts
reset programming

[rose cedar]

cant apply earth logic to Palia

[little silo]

A broken machine is a neglected machine. There is no heresy higher!

[wanton cradle]

Cyborgs confirmed

[shrewd fiber]

I'd quote another line from that vid but I don't think it'd be appropriate out of context lol

[dire turtle]

Havok will be spending at least half an hour polishing and oiling their limbs

any less would be unthinkable

[little silo]

Don't forget the praises to the omnisiah and burning of incense.

[rose cedar]

chrome doesnt need oiling

[wind ibex]

Chrome is no good, Go with a Tungsten-titanium alloy.

[shrewd fiber]

Sorry, the only machine overlord for me is...overthrowing overlords and giving power to the individual.

Glory to the machine, but let it be glory to every machine.

[little silo]

Oh, @wind ibex you're such a flirt

[dire turtle]

I prefer a more classic thick steel. The heavy stuff, y'know?

[rose cedar]

tungsten too much of a fire hazard

[little silo]

@shrewd fiber all machines are made in the Omnisah's image.

[shrewd fiber]

Vol Opt would like a word

[wind ibex]

2️⃣

[dire turtle]

Have you considered, perhaps, that we are all part of the machine?

[shrewd fiber]

I have, and I uniformly reject the notion.

[dire turtle]

I see

[shrewd fiber]

Unity without freedom is no unity at all. It is tyranny.

[little silo]

Unbecoming of a cog to reject their roll in the great machine.

[shrewd fiber]

Sorry, owls don't make great cogs.

[wind ibex]

My body has been broken and used to oil the gears and cogs for many years now.

[rose cedar]

unless that is the purpose of the cog

[little silo]

Any individual who boasts of their own success disregards the work of the cogs around them that make it possible.

[dire turtle]

A cog that does not wish to spin may be set free to lay motionless alone

[shrewd fiber]

Y'all got it backwards as anything lol

Forcing one to work with another because "that's the only way you move"?

[wintry wasp]

There. Prosthetic limb suggestion made with the actual reasoning why I think it would be cool to see for players too!

[dire turtle]

this is great, I'm having fun

[shrewd fiber]

I'm smiling, don't lemme confuse ya

[uneven jetty]

hi

[dire turtle]

perhaps, if a cog wishes to spin one way, and not another, we must find a place for them elsewhere

[ocean stone]

harambe ;_;

[dire turtle]

so that they may spin how they wish, and still aid in the Machine's work

[shrewd fiber]

Perhaps, if we acknowledge that not all are cogs, we will achieve more.

You wouldn't put a pipe in a cog's place, now would you?

[wintry wasp]

I'm a wrench. 😄

[little silo]

Of course, some are levers that amplify the work of others, some are pullies, some are motors and cogitators and more.

[shrewd fiber]

Now, the next step. The nature of one is not set.

You might be a cog at one point in your life, and a lever later on.

[wind ibex]

2️⃣

[dire turtle]

There is a place for all within the machine, you must simply find it

[shrewd fiber]

And some parts are simply spares. To be added when they are needed, to be taken out when a better piece is found.

[dire turtle]

And perhaps a wrench might help such a task

[lament eagle]

[shrewd fiber]

...And then you have the notion that, while the machine is vast and encompassing, not everything is a part.

But maybe that's just the idle dream of a cog.

Perhaps, while it spins in place, it dreams of being an owl 😉

[little silo]

who?

[dire turtle]

the cog-

[wooden widget]

So its canon, there will be excessive cogs in palia?

[little silo]

attempted owl joke failed

[shrewd fiber]

I got it lol

[dire turtle]

ajnfzsjfnaiksjfn hecc

[little silo]

rofl

[dire turtle]

I would be surprised, but in a good way

[little silo]

Would love to be able to craft larger things from parts, like cogs.

[wind ibex]

🦉

[little silo]

Building workstations and such. mills, machines and more.

and perhaps it is outside of the scope of the game, but being able to figure out how the parts fit together to make something not wholly predetermined by the devs would be even better.

[wooden widget]

Interested... but well we get what we get, we may like it or not

[little silo]

Of course. Purely wishful thinking.

[wooden widget]

Well here is hoping it will be decent enough that you or anyone will consider giving it a go

[wintry wasp]

Based on yesterday's daily Wippit update including a few reactions from the wife he speaks of... It's good. And that's all we're allowed to know. lol

[wind ibex]

At this point, is there anything else we really need to know?

[wintry wasp]

Well, there's a lot we need to know but all of us good people will happily wait. 😄

[wind ibex]

There is a lot we would like to know, but we don't need to.

All we really need to know at this point is that the Pre-alpha testers are enjoying the game.

[worthy rose]

Palia may or may not be better or not as better than some of if not more or less than all of or a few of your expectations!

and you can quote me on that

[silent cairn]

insightful commentary from nish, as always

[dire turtle]

[worthy rose]

Yes

[remote latch]

Darn it

[wintry wasp]

Ok so. Prediction: The character reveals are actually a countdown to the full alpha. Once they're out of reveals, boom, alpha.

[wind ibex]

Can is an ability not a requirement.

[remote latch]

Hard to say as we don’t know who else is left to reveal but yes I have a feeling that maybe their timing system

[wintry wasp]

It would be a really good way to countdown without counting down.

And as we have no idea how many more reveals, it could literally be a few weeks to much longer. 😄

[worthy rose]

I'd safely say there's between 2 and 1.5m characters not yet revealed... I hope this doesn't break nda 😳

[silent cairn]

yooooo wait, I think I might have figured it out. Is nr1 the gardener? Because the thing on his back could be a shield, but someone mentioned it could also be a hat. The form of it is identical to the one gardeners wear and his big gloves also fit the ones they always wear while rummaging through dirt!!!!

[remote latch]

Yeah they might say one reveal a week gives us x weeks until ?? Whatever the target is for that countdown

Ooh maybe

[silent cairn]

at least I don't think I remember there being any already revealed character that would mentor you in farming

[remote latch]

Nope I haven’t seen anyone like that

[wind ibex]

I don't know why, but I get Luna Lovegood vibes from 2️⃣

[remote latch]

The don’t realise that people can be mean type vibe.. truly innocent ?

[wintry wasp]

I kind of get a shred of Edward from Cowboy Bebop vibe, honestly. Smol and probably really smart.

[wind ibex]

My brain is having issues parsing this statement.

[dire turtle]

same-

[remote latch]

Rofl… the other kids always stole her stuff .. Harry realised that she didn’t realise they were being mean rather than playing

[dire turtle]

ohhhhhhhhhh

it all makes sense now

[remote latch]

It’s okay I’ve only watched it a million (exaggerating) times

[dire turtle]

same for me and Star Wars

[wind ibex]

I was meaning inquisitive, kind, and a bit odd (in a good way)

[remote latch]

Hmm I’m not getting that although odd/different does seem to fit

[wind ibex]

You don't get the scars shown in the carousal pictures without being oddly adventurous.

And then there is the smirk.

[silent cairn]

if we're going based off of stereotypes, then they looks like the genius inventor kid who is very hyperactive and innocently non self aware, thereby often causing trouble.

hard to actually gauge their age though

[wind ibex]

I wouldn't say causes trouble, but rather, finds trouble.

[silent cairn]

the stereotype I'm thinking of is moreso creating trouble via their wacky inventions

[wintry wasp]

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH. With that mindset... Mei Hatsume from MHA would be a good vibe.

[silent cairn]

but their facial expression is hard to judge. The eyes seem innocent enough to go in line with this, but as you said, the smirk also makes them seem pretty self confident, so with much more maturity than that stereotype I'm going with for now has.

[wintry wasp]

IF there's an intensity, that is.

[silent cairn]

yeaaaah exactly they seem to fit the bill

[distant tide]

Hello y’all I have a question again will there be more then one land location where we can own a house or will there be more and expensive ones also on this topic if we have more than one location can we own only one or more at the same time

[buoyant heath]

Who tried an owl joke?

[little silo]

who?

[buoyant heath]

Who?

[random lagoon]

whoot?

[silent cairn]

that's not publicly known atm, as far as I know.

[wind ibex]

The question was asked in the last batch of submitted questions, we might get an answer when they post the answers.

[distant tide]

Nice and when will that be @wind ibex

[silent cairn]

should be August 12th if everything goes according to plan. Check out #851872171403640873 for more info.

Hello, my name is Wippit and I'm a non-alpha spouse. It has been 21 days since pre-alpha took my wife. 21 days. Three whole weeks. Three. Whole. Weeks.

You know that theory about the Simpsons predicting the future? I thought maybe it applied here. So, I started watching Simpsons episodes back to back to back to back (I didn't get much sleep) and I found it! I found it!

S10E22, "Lisa Has a Brain." At the end of the show when the Mensa group is speaking, Principal Skinner drop this line: "Ladies and gentlemen, I must apologize. This man does not speak for the Council of Alphas. We hold you subomeguloids in the highest regard."

Council of Alphas! That's it! And subomeguloids! They haven't been announced yet, but the signs are clear! They-

... they...

I have no idea where I'm going with this.

[wind ibex]

There, there Wippit, were here for you.

[mellow verge]

As part of the council of alphas I must ask you to cease and desist

Your wife will be returned to you in due time

[marble hedge]

This bird's gonna fly smash

[worthy rose]

[wind ibex]

I think he would rather join her than have her leave pre-alpha to return to him.

[peak jetty]

if you break the pre alpha nda, they take your wife?

[mellow verge]

We don't talk about what punishment happens

[worthy rose]

They take your life

[wind ibex]

You remember the MIB memory sticks?

[stiff ember]

😎

[ocean stone]

what memory stick

[keen nexus]

"Have you flashy-thinged me before"

....no

[worthy rose]

🎷 💨

[tulip wagon]

Ha ha
Ha ha

[stiff ember]

I have no recollection of a neurolizor. 😏 (however it's spelled. >.<)

[worthy rose]

WHAT IF THE FAILED TESTERS ARE THE CHAPAAS??? :OOO

[zinc scarab]

°—°

[wind ibex]

Notes that N8 is a chapaa...

[stiff ember]

Who? What? <.<

[worthy rose]

🐔

[wind ibex]

Check your roles...

[dire turtle]

I don't fully understand the whole chuu chapaa thing

[worthy rose]

Chuu was unofficial name before chapaa was announced

Aka chuus are non believers

[stiff ember]

(I am aware, was playing along the whole memory loss thing.)

[wind ibex]

Chuus are just Chuas without guns.

[wintry wasp]

You know, at this point both names are correct right?

[worthy rose]

[wind ibex]

[tulip wagon]

That was hours ago and bacon related

[tulip wagon]

I told them you were The Baconmancer.

[wind ibex]

Now I am hungrier than usual.

[tulip wagon]

Bacon Jam?

[stiff ember]

Candied bacon jam...

[wind ibex]

Wrap a hotdog in bacon, then deep fry it.

[stiff ember]

Had that. Meh. Not bad tho

It's the hot dog part. They need all the help they can get.

[wind ibex]

Hebrew national hotdogs are really the only way to go.

[stiff ember]

Kosher all beef, at the very least, yes.

[tulip wagon]

Remember every time you eat a hotdog you're cannibalizing me

[wind ibex]

😕

[stiff ember]

I am speculating the questionable chef is a hot dog expert. 👍

[wind ibex]

hotdogs in mac&cheese

[remote latch]

nah roadkill surprise

[glacial mortar]

How's everyone doing on this fine day? 🥰 🍄

[versed sail]

Gross!

[royal granite]

hii i'm doing ok!

wbu?

[stiff ember]

Could be made into hot dogs

[brave thorn]

Highly suspect half of this conversation is about random food things... I'd talk about my taco pizza, but I already shared it in the #🍜│food-and-noms category

[glacial mortar]

aw, nice! It's been an uneventful nice day so far 🙂

[remote latch]

it is ? .. I was talking about the food the questionable cook may make 🙂

[worthy rose]

The bottom of my shirt keeps rolling up and HASODKEHSUFJSNF

[tulip wagon]

I'm very curious about this questionable cook

[royal granite]

hope you have a good night too. also i love ur hair!! 😭

[storm basin]

Have they said how big they want server sizes to be? Or not yet

[versed sail]

Not yet.

[worthy rose]

Definitely larger than 1

[storm basin]

More than one, less than a billion

[worthy rose]

🤔

[storm basin]

What if everyone quits and I’m the only player

[worthy rose]

[storm basin]

The npc’s will be my friends

But in all seriousness, it probably can’t be too many since the npc’s are pretty interactable

My guess would be 300-400ish

[silent cairn]

then you'd have all the NPCs truly be only yours and only yours to romance.

every situation has its benefits.

[remote latch]

All they have said that they don't want the world to feel empty .. nor crowded.

[worthy rose]

Guys what if palia has water

[remote latch]

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
Our areas will be curated to match the number of people on a given server. We don't have a lot of details but in terms of feel we want it to feel alive... not crowded

[nova raven]

Put the water out with fire!

[worthy rose]

IS THAT LEGAL?

[remote latch]

Water in the background by Einars fishing shack https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850062378926473227/859842555720761375/einaridle2.gif

[versed sail]

Well, now we know it's a fantasy setting!

[nova raven]

With the power of science anything is possible!

[zinc scarab]

lol imagine how weird it would be if there was water irl

[nova raven]

Salt water isn't real. The government is just hoarding a majority of the world water in the ocean for when global warming gets real bad!

[storm basin]

I wish the housing wasn’t instances

[remote latch]

unfortunately there wouldn't be enough space for everyone to have a house otherwise .. hopefully it won't be as bad as we imagine

[versed sail]

I've seen it work well before. I'm sure it will be okay.

[zinc scarab]

Walking through town and there’s player houses absolutely everywhere

[storm basin]

I think there should be pre built houses, instanced houses, and ones you can place yourself with obvious placement restrictions. Instanced houses being the smallest and cheapest to maintain

[dire turtle]

I'd be tempted to agree, except that I've tasted it with my mouth and my eyes, and I can safely say it sucks

[versed sail]

Tastes like Chapaa?

[remote latch]

If you think it a feasible idea .. you can post it on the suggestions channel .

[storm basin]

Star Wars galaxies had free placement housing and it wasn’t too bad. And that was like a hundred years ago lol

[random lagoon]

My dream would be for the Neighbourhood system to be an instanced area of a large area of land where people can build there own plots. So despite being instanced you'd still get to walk around a village with dozens of buildings and people milling about. That'd strike a nice balance imo

[remote latch]

it was that long ago ... but then almost every house was identical .. the idea with Palia is to have some place that is yours ..

[wintry wasp]

You know. I bet Chapaa would taste kinda like pork.

[remote latch]

I did put this in as a suggestion a while back

[zinc scarab]

I think some servers would be really cute little neighborhoods and then others would be design hell

[versed sail]

I suspect this is how it will work. Makes the most sense for town to be the communal area.

[storm basin]

Did they say anything about being able to have your house as a shop to sell stuff?

[remote latch]

They told the news people at the preview event that there is alot more to the neighbourhood system and would have to have its own event to talk about it

[remote latch]

nope unfortunately .. we can only hope

[versed sail]

Our group has most of the housing in a particular neighbourhood instance of another game, and we decorate the whole place for holidays! Even set it up for trick-or-treating at Halloween!

So hopefully we get to do something similar in Palia.

[storm basin]

Different game, different world size, different everything but I really like how ashes of creation is doing their housing

It’s a mix of the three I was talking about

[mellow verge]

Is it instanced?

I like housing if it's not limited and it's instanced usually

[wintry wasp]

I will often refer to the good part of ArcheAge's housing. Open world housing. But they did it... So... So badly.

[storm basin]

It’s instanced apartments, pre placed houses and then your own freely placed settlements within certain areas

Every games different. It really depends on the game

So if anyone wants to go ahead and send that alpha code my way, I’ll let you know how it’s implemented here. Also consider looking at my dog in #🐾│pet-pics before making your decision

[wind ibex]

I was picturing the instanced plots like they were done in Wildstar.

[silent cairn]

Dog is very cute and fluffy. I will put in a good word for you.

wait no, I'm not a tester either. We need a second opinion.

[versed sail]

I'm so sad about missing Kenyatta week. I have to go to a wedding, so there's no time to make anything for the challenge.

[storm basin]

Lolol

[wind ibex]

Maybe you'll find someone at the wedding that you can pass off as a Kenyatta cosplay?

[silent cairn]

That's a shame. Maybe if you get back soon after you can get Simuel to delay the collage for a little bit, so your art gets in.

[versed sail]

Nah, I'll be missing whatever is on for next week as well. Going to stay up for a bit and visit with family.

[silent cairn]

Ah, oh well. Family will always come first. Hope you enjoy your stay with them!

[versed sail]

I'll have a buddy to talk Palia with while I'm there, so at least we can whine about it together!

[remote latch]

Oh this new site has something new ..
https://www.shacknews.com/article/124694/palia-preview-new-horizons

'When players visit, there are several activities that you can engage in together. This includes cooking, in which players can pull from the game’s many recipes to make meals. The process is very collaborative, as friends can aid you in cooking (which is accomplished through minigames) or in designing your home (using over 1000 decor items). One really interesting tidbit that I learned during my preview with Palia is that even when a player is offline, friends will be able to visit their home.'

'When exploring the world, climbing and gliding will be a key part of traversing land and covering large distances. I didn’t get to see too much of the world outside of the village, but the developers state that there are a lot of secrets to discover.'

'Players can accomplish tasks for characters, which will increase their relationship level. Once the relationship reaches level 3, players can begin courtship by giving the character a specific flower. Players can also gift items to villagers in order to raise their relationship level. Each villager has unique items that they like, love, and hate, very similar to Stardew Valley.'

'When the game releases, the story will not be complete. As time goes on, the developers will build upon the established story, as well as player behavior in order to unravel all of the secrets of this world. In fact, the developers told me that the narrative “will take years” to unfold.'

[silent cairn]

I think I've read half of this info somewhere before, but dang, that top paragraph is nuts.

awesome!

[remote latch]

I keep finding bits and pieces from the different news sites that attended the preview .. some say the same stuff and others have just that extra bit of info they took from the event

[chilly palm]

so, this game has been developing since 2018?

[remote latch]

sounds about right

[versed sail]

Yes, they've been plotting their sneak attack on us for years!

[chilly palm]

Palia seems like so much fun 🙂

[hallow grove]

Hi guys, any ideea when the game might release? at least the open beta?

[short thorn]

Under 3 years

[hallow grove]

holy anime tiddies, I can`t wait to play it. It seems so cool

i signed in to test the game but no mail untill now

[versed sail]

The invites come in waves. We don't know when the next wave will be.

[hallow grove]

I see

what is the player feedback untill now?

[grizzled marten]

[hallow grove]

that damn NDA 😦

[versed sail]

They aren't allowed to say much. So far the feedback has been:
Worth the hype
&
Having fun

[wintry wasp]

Honestly, I think pre-alpha and even alpha forms of games do benefit from NDAs. People are FAR TOO QUICK to judge games on an early build.

[hallow grove]

Sorry, I forgot about the NDA.

[versed sail]

All I really wish for is that no one forces this cake out of the oven before it's cooked, because no one has fun when a game is forced out before it's ready.

[grizzled marten]

Cyberpunk

[remote latch]

I'm sure they will wait until its just about right 🙂

[hallow grove]

That`s what I was thinking. Even if it takes 1 2 3 4 years, they should take theyr time. Not rush it to the players demand, like CDRed did to Cyberpunk

[celest maple]

I wouldn't mind if they had an early access edition one can buy themselves into.

[wintry wasp]

You know, it's funny cause I said 2077 was going to not be anywhere near as good as people expected a few years ago due to how long they were hyping...

[hallow grove]

Dude, the company literally spoiled theyr game and overhyped it. With trailers and promises

[wintry wasp]

Remember, when the marketing lacks gameplay, don't trust it! And so far, the trailer here seems to show off a little bit. 🙂
