💬│palia-discussions

[warm plover]

Probably not. S6 said they would be inviting 1400 people for the pre-alpha. 200 were invited during the first wave, and 1200 were sent during the second, so a third wave happening is unlikely. No information on the actual alpha has been released.

Additionally, from the FAQ at Palia.com, there may be more tests over the coming months (this answer wasn't there before, and was noted on around the 10th of August, 2021).```
does this sound decent enough for my doc im so tired i cant phrase things properly

[carmine relic]

Don't hit the big red button

Aye, it sounds proper to me!

[warm plover]

(also a screenshot of the faq answer in question at the bottom hrhgrhgnrgn)

[green kraken]

Looks good Rin!

[warm plover]

should i put 9th of august or 10th of august
its the 9th where you guys are

[wintry wasp]

I'd do local time for the devs, so it's still the 9th

[summer obsidian]

Yeah, local time for devs probably is the least confusing

[warm plover]

mmk

[summer obsidian]

We aren't all time-travelers like Rin

[wind ibex]

It is still the morning there

[wintry wasp]

Yeah. Some of us are just timeline-travelers.

[carmine relic]

Whichever is good. Not like the exact day is mega important

[wintry wasp]

I'm still looking for the timeline where I got into the pre-alpha. Not going well

[wind ibex]

We are all time travelers. We just move through time in a single direction at a set speed.

[carmine relic]

I'm still pretty sure I'm drifting through several realities

[warm plover]

linear time is for nerds

[wind ibex]

I have a shirt that says "I'm a NERD, Get over it"

[summer obsidian]

Except that one time I was driving through Arizona/Nevada, crossing timezones, driving through Indian Reserves that don't observe Daylight Savings time, during the weekend that daylight savings time was ending...figuring out what time it was...was nearly impossible

[wind ibex]

You still traveled through time at the same rate, just your knowledge of the current temporal coordinates was faulty.

And the rain just hit. I cant see more than 100' outside my window.

[remote latch]

not completely pve .. optional pve combat - primarily hunting but they did say there would be traditional combat for those that want to do it.- for the most part it is a community sim game concentrating on the calmer things in life 🙂

[serene stratus]

Speak for yourselves, I'm still trying to hitchhike on a TARDIS

[paper prawn]

thank you, i dont mind pve hehe, i saw only the intro of the gameplay.

[remote latch]

there are 2 faq's pinned to this channel and #❔│game-faqs and #❓│old-team-answers-alpha channels .. the combination of all of them should bring you pretty much up to speed .. if you're a reading person that is 🙂

[paper prawn]

thank you!

looks like one of the question i wanted to know, has already been asked, so i will wait for that

[remote latch]

depends what it is .. there are some they aren't able to answer yet

[paper prawn]

yea it hasnt been answered and had 17 votes on it

[wind ibex]

The questions are answered in batches. The next batch of answers is scheduled for the 12th.

[paper prawn]

the question was asked back in june

[wind ibex]

Not that long ago.

[remote latch]

ah, what question was it ?

[paper prawn]

it was about having dedicated private servers

[warm plover]

Oh they said they probably won't do that

[paper prawn]

if we could host it on our own machines

ah i see good to know

[remote latch]

ah .. there was a mention of those in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha a while back .. they said they were not sure they will at the moment

[warm plover]

Oh wait, am I thinking about modding support? i mightve mixed them up
I think they actually said "we arent sure, and also we probably wont add modding support" in the same answer, which was why i got them confused

[remote latch]

Tips Out — 06/04/2021
Pleeeeaasseee consider allowing us to make our own private server lobbies. Would love to be able to stream this game with friends without being swarmed by people

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
We're sensitive to this, believe me. We may not end up supporting private servers but if we don't, you'll have other tools to filter out unwanted players. A huge focus for us is in having some of the best social systems, and that includes not worrying about seeing players you don't like seeing.

[leaden vault]

Has anything new that's big been mentioned? I don't hang in here as often so I look for announcements or tags. Miss smaller things

Also is it still official of just a community thing? I was still expecting some pve type content like maybe dungeons similar to my time at portia. Or we don't know yet?

[remote latch]

Anything big will be tagged .. but little bits and pieces .. like their website being updated with a new faq question .. sneaks under the window 🙂

[leaden vault]

Ahh okay I haven't checked the website in while

[paper prawn]

thanks for all the info, either way im very interested in this game. im not a content creator or steamer, so im sure i wont be able get those invites any time sooner lol.

[cinder temple]

Officially we have another villager vote and a Q&A coming up; unofficially we have our weekly art challenge - It's the deer from the trailer this week.

[warm plover]

yeah the new faq question on the website states they might do some more small tests and feedback things in the coming months

[warm plover]

honestly i dont think it matters that much for the super early builds like were in now

[remote latch]

dungeon wise .. I haven't seen anything since this in #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha regarding dungeons '[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
There will be group adventures, maybe dungeon like, but we won't have huge raids that require lots of prep and grinding beforehand'

[paper prawn]

any pets ingame or companions

[leaden vault]

That's actually really good info though so thanks! I never saw this from the times I went through ask the team

[remote latch]

I use keyword searches and browse through looking for dev answers 🙂

[remote latch]

hopefully but I don't think anything has been confirmed one way or another .. but .. there is Tau who is a very good boi belonging to Hassian the hunter

[swift sphinx]

:)

[remote latch]

Correction: Pets were said to be on the road map 🙂

Scurax — 06/03/2021
Mounts and pets? what is the team's plan on these

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
We see these categories as "Fast Travel" and "Pets". Both are in the roadmap in some form

[tiny apex]

oh no, this world has fleas

[spice fulcrum]

10 years since palia alpha wave. i walk through the empty streets trying to think of something else but my path always leads to the discord. i stare at the screen for hours and try to summon an invite. i watch other upcoming mmo videos but it is no good. i flame WoW and try to resist the mods but it is all meaningless. the end is near.i then usually watch some old palia announcement videos and cry myself to sleep.

[wind ibex]

Could have been tickled by a blade of grass.

[tiny apex]

no that can't be it, it's too much realism xD

[fringe minnow]

It's been some time since i was here, hello o/

[tiny apex]

hello ( • ᴗ•)ノ

[wind ibex]

#📮│public-polls message I didn't know Zeki was so short. (edit: Changed link to stay in discord)

[tiny apex]

(i wish we could have images from links be rendered lol)

[wind ibex]

They just turned them off for this channel. You can have them in some of the others.

[tiny apex]

i wonder why that is

[summer obsidian]

people shared inappropriate images, so they had to revert...the few mess it up for the many

[warm plover]

hi fenixer

[surreal crest]

hi Rinboi

[tiny apex]

that's messed up ; -; stupid few

[warm plover]

Yeah when the first wave of prealpha invites went out people were sending all kinda of images in here...

[tiny apex]

no warning and deleting/kicking/banning?

[warm plover]

dunno i was asleep when it happened

[summer obsidian]

Tbh, that's why I stayed away from this chat for so long. That first wave it was INSANE how negative this chat was. I was scared to come in here...it's much calmer now and everyone's loving again ❤️

[wind ibex]

I had not joined yet at that point.

[warm plover]

until the next test starts and then itll go back to being filled with those kinds of people again...

[summer obsidian]

well, we will have to try and outnumber them

[tiny apex]

interesting o O i wonder why all the negativity at first - i am glad to report i've only had very positive experiences from this server so far ^^

[wind ibex]

Let's hope not.

[warm plover]

well, there was an everyone ping, which brings a lot of people out of the woodworks...

[tiny apex]

xD

i am suddenly glad i disabled the everyone tag on my server

[summer obsidian]

yeah, for a discord that has 99K people...you can tell the majority of them don't actually come and check the discord. So a ping does all sorts of crazy

[vocal bear]

i check all the servers im apart of but hardly speak at all.

[warm plover]

maybe a new game announcements role to ping would be good...? maybe that would help... i guess...

[wind ibex]

Normally 35k-40k people online. far fewer active chatters.

[tiny apex]

same for me ^^ i always lurk unless something interesting (to me) is brought to my attention

[warm plover]

theres like 20 active chatters maybe

[summer obsidian]

Well, S6 may want eyes on the game announcements though...so an everyone ping may be suitable for those

[remote latch]

I'm sure theres more over the 24 hour period

[wind ibex]

Rin would know, Most talkative person here. Makes sure everyone has someone to welcome them.

[warm plover]

yeah i guess its appropriate
the idea of pinging that many people scares me though, even though i was originally behind the idea of doing an everyone ping...

Rin just doesn't know how to shut up it's not a good thing

[summer obsidian]

[warm plover]

yeah im probably missing a few... ill put the high estimate at 50 regulars

[worthy rose]

Oh you're an active chatter for a game that isn't out yet? Cringe

[wind ibex]

Nish is back!

[warm plover]

oh its noshe

[worthy rose]

howdy do friends

[summer obsidian]

I'll say there's a set of regulars in here, a set of regulars in pre-alpha. Some pre-alpha players do a good job of talking in here too, most of us are bad at splitting time

[warm plover]

i wanna meet the prealpha regs

[remote latch]

yeah 50 sounds about right .. I've seen what looks to be 3 or 4 groups of people across the day/night when I've popped my head in .. there's a couple ( Rin one of them ) that are almost always there .. but there are some in one time group that aren't in the others

[warm plover]

who else is almost always here? chair? duck? xrystal?

[deep frigate]

I'm a prealpha irregular

[wind ibex]

Cinna

[golden warren]

Will the game have a location for Brazil?

[warm plover]

oh yeah cinna exists a lot

[wintry wasp]

I think I understand why some testers don't want to talk. Don't need to accidentally break the NDA and get launched into the sun.

[remote latch]

prety much those regulars 🙂

[pearl ore]

i was irregular pre-alpha, but now i'm more irregular

[sleek sonnet]

I can't wait for the new answers to our questions !

[summer obsidian]

exactly! The sun sounds...hot....

[warm plover]

If you're asking servers, we don't know. If you're asking about a translation, probably! Very far into the future, though.

[fallen latch]

how is Palia distributed? (hopefully a non-annyoying new regular)

[pearl ore]

i can answer all questions

[warm plover]

no info

[wind ibex]

Distribution and monetization have not yet been discussed.

[fallen latch]

what about previous alpha?

[wintry wasp]

Well that all depends on how you want to view "hot" because without atmosphere, things work differently. It's how the Parker Solar Probe only needs to handle about 3000 degrees when the sun is ... Way more.

[warm plover]

[fallen latch]

ok, so just custom studio installer then, I assume?

[golden warren]

Oh, nice! ty

[wintry wasp]

Unknown. It's likely just a launcher-less game for the current testers.

[warm plover]

dude we literally have no idea idk how youre getting "custom installer" out of my response of "nda"

[wintry wasp]

I would IMAGINE they should be able to tell us if it's launcher or not, but NDA is NDA. Better to stay safe.

[fallen latch]

just a random question

all good, thanks

[warm plover]

sorry if that sounded aggressive but we really have no clue

[wind ibex]

localization is the last step in game development. and this game is still in very early stages. That being said, I remember reading that localization is likely to be outsourced when the time comes.

[deep frigate]

if it isn't in one of the FAQs or trailer, the assumption is that it's currently unknown/under NDA

[summer obsidian]

The way NDA was explained to me and the stance you will get from me - if it wasn't announced publicly...don't talk about it. So that covers big, small, and everything in between. So I try to stay extra-careful not to discuss anything...even if it does at the moment seem trivial

[warm plover]

mm maybe i should add the launcher thing to my doc

[pearl ore]

NDA stands for No, Don't Ask!

[remote latch]

[S6] ItNightshade — 06/04/2021
Expanding servers across the globe should eventually happen as we expand localization support, and work with distribution partners. As long as everything goes well. -- and --- [S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021
We intend to localize as many languages as we can

[marble hedge]

The way the NDA was explained to me was "SHHHHHHHH you can't know, suffer my husband, muhuhahahahahaaaaa!"

[warm plover]

Ninja Deer Approved

[buoyant heath]

Who told you that Sun Launching was part of the NDA?

[wintry wasp]

It's industry standard.

[worthy rose]

NDA stands for Noranges Doranges Aoranges

[summer obsidian]

since I know your spouse...I can say this sounds 100% accurate and true 😛 😂

[warm plover]

oh no was the sun launching thing under nda

[pearl ore]

yup, she's all like "if they wanted him to know, they'd have invited him!"

[cinder temple]

Official art gets 700-900 people poking it with reactions on the regular, so I imagine this server has a few thousand people who check in periodically, a silent majority who check in when pinged for big updates, and a sliver segment of bot accounts.

The 50 'regulars' that chat are just the people who see fit to socialize here and aren't necessarily representative of the total interest. And that's to say nothing of the many people who use social media instead of Discord.

[warm plover]

but i wanna take pride in being a regular

[cinder temple]

Well, I'm glad you eat your fiber, Rin.

[wintry wasp]

I do wish more of the silent majority here would look in #game-suggestions lol

[warm plover]

what does that mean

[wintry wasp]

It's a poop joke.

[warm plover]

oh

i dont get it... i think im too innocent

[marble hedge]

being regular - pooping often

[pearl ore]

the older you get, the more it's a dream rather than a joke

[wind ibex]

Villager votes get 1k-4k people taking part.

[topaz path]

sounds like everyone thinks i'm a big meany. I'm medium sized mostly 😛

[remote latch]

I see a wife approaching

[remote latch]

but still a meanie ?

[marble hedge]

And meanie is an understatement. I'd go with monster

[warm plover]

passion hiiii stop bullying your spouse pls

[cinder temple]

PassionTiger confirmed as blue meanie.

[topaz path]

oh rin you slay me

[wind ibex]

I was taking it as people saw you as pragmatic, not mean.

[carmine relic]

I like this

[wintry wasp]

But it's not her fault. If S6 gave Wippit access, it'd be fine!

[warm plover]

s6 stop bullying wippit pls

[topaz path]

dunno man. he just called me a monster.... we might still have an issue

[pearl ore]

not mean, diligent. protecting the undiscussible

[marble hedge]

If I blame S6, they'll get all defensive and say no again.

[cinder temple]

Clearly Wippet and Tiger should be resolving their Palia-related marital issues like adults: With a queen-size pillow fight.

[carmine relic]

Just merge into one super-being. The NDA and access probably technically applies to both in that case

[nocturne thorn]

[warm plover]

or with palia pvp with huge guns and massive swords

[summer obsidian]

my favorite part of that...was you giving the detail it must be "queen-sized" pillows

[wind ibex]

So who is up for helping me maintain balance on the next villager vote?

[warm plover]

STEVONNIE?!

[pearl ore]

only pvp in palia should be water balloon fights

[wind ibex]

Sounds like Wildstar.

[carmine relic]

Who-vonnie?

[warm plover]

nevermind

[cinder temple]

Standardization is an important part of fair sporting.

[marble hedge]

My favorite fuse is Steve and his dad

[remote latch]

if its 2 people sure .. I think it will be harder with more

[carmine relic]

Also Rin how the heck have ya not fallen asleep yet

[buoyant heath]

https://tenor.com/view/peral-no-pearl-sad-steven-universe-gif-6023061

[paper prawn]

how many people can play in one server? or will this be like monster hunter? where theres phases in the world

[warm plover]

if i beg outside s6s office enough do you think theyll invite me or do you think theyll call the cops

[remote latch]

probably the latter

[runic arrow]

only one way to find out

[warm plover]

1. its only 2 am
2. im super depressed right now lol

[summer obsidian]

Sees Steve's name...and waits to see if he appears 👀

[wind ibex]

Rin usually heads to bed around 4am, still has a bit over an hour.

[carmine relic]

Oh

[marble hedge]

Server size isn't a known thing as of yet, at least to us

[carmine relic]

I guess me staying up until 4 a day or two ago really threw off the balance

[warm plover]

We don't know yet unfortunately, but it sounds like server hopping will be quite a frequent and simple thing to do

[cinder temple]

Rin and Wippit wind up in the same Palia jail cell. "Did you yell at their front gate?" "No, I yelled at the side gate. I thought maybe because I was a cute cat they'd just let me in and maybe give me snacks." "Bummer."

[vocal bear]

i don't understand how you ppl can stay up so late

[warm plover]

im trying to go to bed earlier, but i kust feel like shit tonight

[worthy rose]

rin if you bring donuts im sure they'd be understanding

[carmine relic]

Darkness and silence is pretty cool! At least until you spot a bug.

[marble hedge]

I used to stay up late. Now I'm old and struggle to stay up for supper

[warm plover]

can i have snacks sim

[summer obsidian]

Big hugs Rin! Sorry you aren't doing well!

[paper prawn]

lol i crashed too right after work

[remote latch]

They've not said numbers .. but Unreal Engine is know for server population limitations from what I read .. so they probably have some sort of IT magic under the cover to make any transfers between servers practically seemless - but they have said they want the world to look active while not being crowded

[warm plover]

I don't particularly like staying up late, but I stay up because I dread not having anything to distract myself

[marble hedge]

anyways, was just home for my lunch break, back in a bit.

[summer obsidian]

That's a late lunch!!

[vocal bear]

try developing a hobby where u make/craft things. stuff u can get happy about :D

[carmine relic]

I'm here 'cause I wanna see if my pals are doing good

[warm plover]

bye wippit have you made your daily i am a non prealpha spouse post yet

Oh hobbies are fine and all but lying in bed with nothing to distract me... thats what i dread

[remote latch]

he usually posts around 3-4 hours from now

maybe later

[wintry wasp]

You know what I'd love? To be able to actually just do nothing and not go insane within seconds.

[short thorn]

This so much. It really helps to be focused on something proactive. For me it's drawing and writing

[warm plover]

samesies

[cinder temple]

Maybe that's what your Palian future holds?

[remote latch]

oh sheesh .. I can't do nothing .. .. I'm always doing something ..

[carmine relic]

When I got nothing, I just think about anything. It helps me pass time

[summer obsidian]

I went camping at the beach this weekend - that doing nothing is relaxing and heals my soul

[vocal bear]

that sounds amazing

[warm plover]

when im doing nothing i inevitably get sad over literally anything
its pretty amazing how my brain does that, actually
its making up excuses and connections all the time lol

[remote latch]

find another hobby you can slot in that doing nothing spot 🙂

[buoyant heath]

Yeah, like talking about Palia

[warm plover]

in bed???
well anyway i shouldnt make this chat depressed so uhhhhhh cats in palia

[short thorn]

A still river grows stagnant. Do something to keep the mind healthy

[worthy rose]

my favorite hobby is throwing rocks at my wall until the police are called

puts me to sleep every time

[carmine relic]

Pspspspspsp

I wonder if a Grimalkin would be offended if you did that?

[warm plover]

pspspspsps at me

[cinder temple]

I feel like they'd play along, waddle up to you, and then claw the crap out of whoever decided to be a wiseguy.

I look forward to launch day when Gambit is running screaming from an agitated Zeki.

[celest maple]

Hello guys

[carmine relic]

I'd like to see Zeki try and catch up with his stubby legs

[warm plover]

the age old question "are all grimalkin tiny or is zeki just vertically challenged"

[carmine relic]

So far, Zeki is the only Grimalkinwe know.

[worthy rose]

[short thorn]

UwU

[cinder temple]

Even a fat cat books it when angry.

[remote latch]

maybe there will be a Grimalkin in every village .. running the stores there .. and trading their questionable items with each other across Palia 🙂

[warm plover]

what if ive been a grimalkin this whole time
im a paid actor by s6

[keen latch]

It would make sense

[short thorn]

You're getting paid?

[warm plover]

well im an intern so im being paid in college credit

[short thorn]

:v

[warm plover]

im not even IN college so idk where thats going...

[short thorn]

:v

[brittle halo]

I think that just means you're working for free

[remote latch]

The secret to telling stories is to keep the facts together .. 😛

[cinder temple]

I'd love to get paid doing Palia stuff, but they're half a planet away and not hiring in my field. </3 Luckily, I really like Palia, so labor of love on whatever I do here is fine for now.

[carmine relic]

Well where's ya second pair of ears?

[worthy rose]

the secret to telling stories is to make each story so overly fabricated that there's no way that it's a real story so that nobody takes you seriously and you don't have to keep track of anything

[short thorn]

I'm an ameri-mangaka in training so if they're hiring in that field...

[remote latch]

that works too

[short thorn]

Either that or be a one trick pony sticking with one thing constantly

[warm plover]

nda, meow

[carmine relic]

Lemme say, doing just 1 thing will burn you out really badly

[short thorn]

That's why it's not a popular method but it is a method

[carmine relic]

Wait. I remembered something. Hold on

[short thorn]

I jinx you to forget what it was

[carmine relic]

Okay nevermind, I forgot.

[short thorn]

I jinx you to remember a warped version of what it was

[carmine relic]

I'm actually checking the teialer to remember if it's there or not

But I wanna be in my mission control base PC to check.

[short thorn]

Portable Command center

[warm plover]

gambit lets go to sleep

[carmine relic]

You can sleep

[warm plover]

im dragging you down with me

[brittle halo]

slumber party? slumber party.

[summer obsidian]

wait, did I just hear slumber party at Rin's?

[carmine relic]

Well, I remember it.

[warm plover]

my rooms not big enough. slumber party at the s6 offices

[carmine relic]

The good news: It's there in the trailer! The bad news: Too blurry and I worry it's flailing violently on the NDA line

[short thorn]

❓

[remote latch]

if its in the trailer it can't be NDA issue

[warm plover]

[grizzled marten]

[warm plover]

ask a dev if you can talk about it? i hear theyre very chatty in the prealpha chats

[short thorn]

🚫

[sinful shell]

hi i havent talked here in forever

[short thorn]

Hi and welcome!

[carmine relic]

Anyway it's something dumb anyway.

[remote latch]

if its in the trailer that none of us have spotted .. its not dumb .. its new discussion material : )

[carmine relic]

Go check the actual real official Palia trailer in 4k (this is why I needed my PC), and tell me what y'all see.

[remote latch]

at what time stamp ?

[warm plover]

i see birds with two frames of animation

[carmine relic]

0:48

[warm plover]

gambit is this related to my slumber party

actually im gonna sleep

[remote latch]

Ashura has both eyes fine ?

[carmine relic]

Nah, I'm looking at the posters/notes on the walls.

[short thorn]

Ashura confirmed

First time we've seen him

[warm plover]

im on my phone so i cant check but iirc theres a wanted poster up there?

[remote latch]

I looked at them but will look closer.

[carmine relic]

Doesn't that green one have a pretty fluffy-looking face(?)?

[celest maple]

Hi

[short thorn]

Hi!

[warm plover]

roblox reacts to their own messages with ashurawave

and also only says hi aside from the one time cinn asked how they were doing and they said 'great'
so anyway i think this person is a cryptid

[remote latch]

All I can see is an elf boy picture, what looks like a young zeki and a robot like picture .. but I don't have a 4K monitor so maybe I'm missing the finer details

[warm plover]

i have half a suspicion they might be a bot based on how fast they react to their own message after they post it but thats not really conclusive evidence or anything...

[keen latch]

I mega zoomed on my 4k, it looks like a white fluff

[carmine relic]

Anyway I got games to play, so try and figure this stuff ya'selves

[warm plover]

but gambit our slumber party

[carmine relic]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well I wil lbe late.

[warm plover]

ok ill sleep first

[short thorn]

Hm, fair point

Why would a bot be here just to say hi without any hidden intent tho

Join us this week... On monster hunters

[ripe mulch]

hiii

[cinder temple]

Because reacting to their posts seems to trigger an automatic friend request. Not sure what the goal is either, but it's a thing.

[short thorn]

Hi and welcome!

[keen latch]

Ok so I'm looking at what gambit has said

[short thorn]

And that's strange. I didn't get one so that's good so far

Tf when even a bot doesnt want to friend u

[buoyant heath]

Big oof, Matthew

[ripe mulch]

I was wondering when the next alpha emails will be going out 🙂

[keen latch]

No idea, the devs have given no info on it

[worthy rose]

eventually™

[remote latch]

When they are ready to send them out. Hopefully they will send an announcement before they start. Otherwise it’s a waiting game.

[ripe mulch]

Okay thank you 🙂

[remote latch]

Their site mentions over the coming months so hopefully soon 🙂

[worthy rose]

I can't imagine they wouldn't send an announcement out

or an @ everyone ping

[remote latch]

That was just in case their faq answer on the site was the announcement 🙂

[summer obsidian]

Not really sure though Nish...like Xrystal said, their site says "We don’t have a specific timeline for large scale tests, but may be running small scale tests and feedback sessions over the coming months. If you’re signed up, we’ll reach out through email to let you know if you’re selected for a test.". If it's just small scale tests, they may just reach out to the small group of people selected versus announcing it to everyone if it's not going to be a large scale test. Who knows? They can (and will) do whatever they want

[worthy rose]

you say funny words magic man

😦 oh well, I'll see you's when this gets launched maybe. Good luck

[buoyant heath]

Balance is lost

[wind ibex]

Fixed

[brave thorn]

New meme means new laughs... and I got a new one in #🎭│palia-memes

[random lagoon]

No Villager vote? They've taken away our right to vote, democracy has died on this day.

[carmine relic]

Back from the abyss, what did I miss

[remote latch]

they might be running late .. or forgot its usually today

[remote latch]

not much since you left

[carmine relic]

Hooray!

[remote latch]

a new Palia Meme

[tranquil cosmos]

#3 is gonna be the next Ashura, rip

[remote latch]

I've been voting for him every week so far

[wind ibex]

#3 is what would have been if ? won on Balancing act.

[tranquil cosmos]

Me too lol, gotta feel bad for the underdog

[remote latch]

maybe rofl

[wind ibex]

Lets try for another Balancing act this week.

[remote latch]

every new villager from now on will be interesting as we have no more images to compare to

[tranquil cosmos]

If we get the last two to be balanced, maybe they'll reveal them both lmao

[remote latch]

They may present a fresh new page with 3 new people of interest

[cinder temple]

We'll just have to start hyping over individual trailer flowers. 😔

[tranquil cosmos]

What if they don't reveal anyone else

[remote latch]

they can't be the only villagers .. we still have at least the librarian and blacksmith/armourer and Mayor and the cook ( if he's not one of the two we're waiting on )

And if Najuma is not their daughter ... then her parents/guardians and maybe Auni's are still out their somewhere

[torpid kindle]

#3 to the moon

[wind ibex]

Time for Balance!

[celest maple]

#3 let's gooo

[mighty pasture]

but #2 looks so wise

[left pebble]

Farmer go BRRRRRR

[remote latch]

And there we go . no 3 is the farming master 🙂 so no 1 must be the cook

[serene stratus]

OOooooh I'm interested by 3!

[keen latch]

Ooooohhhhh

[odd needle]

[remote latch]

no 2 is mystery man .. unless Eshe married a much younger man .. or the silhouette doesn't show his age rofl

[keen latch]

#1

[tranquil cosmos]

I guess that answers that lol, but I'm voting 2 stilllll

[lofty carbon]

#2 looks like a christmas elf to me im very curous

[keen latch]

actually we have no picutes of any of these dudes I'm realising

[remote latch]

ooh ooh .. and Wizard said 'We still have lots of villagers'

[mighty pasture]

#2 looks like a wise Sage.

[wind ibex]

Time For Balance

[remote latch]

nope .. no more villager images to compare .. but no 1 has a quiff of hair similar to Tish so may be the cook

[solid girder]

Nummer the in #📮│public-polls Kind of gives me the Baelyn Vibes (Viva la dirt League, the "Nice Day for Fishin' Aint it?" Guy)

[sturdy pike]

Get me the #1 :D

[lofty carbon]

i wanna see number 1 so bad it looks like he has elf ears

[inner bloom]

we need the farmer, we have to industrialize wheat production and make him rich

[vernal knot]

vote for whoever you want , its ur choice!!

[remote latch]

most if not all of the villagers are elves ( or Palia equivalent ) 🙂 apart from Zeki

[lofty carbon]

never enough elves in my opinion 8)

[wind ibex]

Einar

[remote latch]

yes and Einar

[vernal knot]

zekis a cat hes more than welcome

[wintry wasp]

1️⃣

I'm rooting for 1. lol

[wind ibex]

1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣

Balance is needed

[wintry wasp]

Even better.

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

[quick sparrow]

hi! I saw the latest #📮│public-polls. Yall got great tastes.

[lament eagle]

Farmer !!

[ocean tinsel]

why number three? it's soo obvious what he is?

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed.

[remote latch]

Balance may be impossible with the difference in votes at the moment .. may have to wait until Wednesday

[wind ibex]

It is easier to maintain balance from the beginning, they try to balance something later on.

[wintry wasp]

I think it's because the obvious one appeals.

[merry crater]

👀 villager vote!!!

[remote latch]

not if only a handful can switch them .. only if the majority wants to balance can it be done early on .. and I for one will not tell people who to vote for 🙂

[brittle halo]

I will tho, vote for #1 or I'll cry

[little silo]

Greetings Citizens.

[silent cairn]

this is cruel. I thought I had it all figured out that nr1 has farmer looking like characteristics, but then they just put nr3 in there with everything I mentioned as proof before turned up to max

[quick sparrow]

yessir!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wind ibex]

Balance is being fought (on Ashura)

[remote latch]

And .. I'm starting to reconsider 1 as the cook and instead maybe 2 .. wrong gloves for 1 for cooking

[quick sparrow]

the logic with voting always changes. peak priorities

[gloomy vine]

ello

[quick sparrow]

hey, how's it going! ❤️

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed.

[surreal crest]

Santahat at the bottom again

[silent cairn]

I still cannot fathom why 2 wears a Santa hat. There is just no currently conceivable logic behind it, so is this person just really (un)fashionable?

[little silo]

It would seem the devs are leaning hard into tropes and stereotypes to deliver relatable characters.

[gloomy vine]

Pretty good.pretty good .

[random lagoon]

I voted for 3 I think they might be the chef we've heard about before

[merry crater]

The silhouette never made me think Santa Hat but now this may be a thing I can't unsee lol

[gloomy vine]

I voted 1 looks like a snobby boi

[quick sparrow]

hell yea, glad that's the case!

[tranquil cosmos]

Vote Santa Hat

[silent cairn]

we've been calling them Santa Shaq for about a month now.

[worthy rose]

they are santa

[tranquil cosmos]

Santa Shaq lmao

[quick sparrow]

peak banter

[runic arrow]

is it a hat?? i thought it was a weird braid loll

[random lagoon]

If you look closer it actually looks more like a dread ponytail sort of thing rather than a hat lol

[slim shard]

I don't even think it's a Santa Hat but Hair in a weird braid. Because if you look closely (Open the Original) you can see 3 strands of what looks like lose hair.

[summer quest]

hello. fourth application here for my respectful request for a pre-alpha key and access to future testing. i believe my previous resumes were too difficult to read so i will use bullet points. i have also used one my boosters on the server, so i hope my application takes priority.

• quickly growing content creator on youtube with 400 subscribers (i recently lost one so i didn't gain any since my last request but i hope you will be understanding)

• twitch streamer with 18 followers (one more follower compared to my last request)

Vote 1

[slim shard]

They also seem to have a beard / moustache in the same fashion.

[silent cairn]

you both messaged me this right as I had the thing zoomed in on and about to come back to comment on it. Life is pain.

[nova raven]

Will 1 ever get his time in the spotlight?

1 is always the bridesmaid never the bride

[slim shard]

2 Copy & Paste Message from 2 different Users? That doesn't look sus at all. 🤔

[silent cairn]

but yeah, it looks like one of those pony tails like what Zuko had in Avatar.

[merry crater]

The nickname shall prevail though. Santa Shaq for life.

[little silo]

Is this some sort of new copy pasta?

[nova raven]

Is Drinhlthap memeing?

[little silo]

Need some sauce for this pasta

[wintry wasp]

I think it's suspected that it will somehow magically get them in a pre-alpha that is stated as "full for now" and also under NDA.

[random lagoon]

even if it was a santa hat, the weird unfastened shoes they wear is an even bigger fashion crime

[nova raven]

Is Santa Shaq the official unofficial name of 2️⃣ ?

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed, Ashura is under attack!

[peak jetty]

❓

[little silo]

Oh, everyone knows all ya gotta do is whip out your fat wallet and let Mr. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN do your talking.

[wintry wasp]

I've done what I can.

[peak jetty]

[slim shard]

I'm delighted to see that this is still going strong! 😄

[silent cairn]

War. War never changes.

[shrewd idol]

Hello my Palia family. How is everyone?

[brave thorn]

I threw off the Ashura/? vote off some more just to drive all of you crazy

[little silo]

" Y I should have alpha key:
Am Jeff Bezzos, I will build a Palia shaped rocket. Also I have lots of money. I expect to get priority consideration for this."

[nova raven]

@cinder temple next weeks art challenge to be "fill in the silhouette of 2️⃣ considering it might be a few weeks till he actually gets revealed?

[peak jetty]

Hi Jeff Bezos, please check on my shipment of ashura branded underwear thanks

[midnight mantle]

Lolwot

[cinder temple]

Next week's challenge is already bespoken for.

[little silo]

Your order has been postponed indefinitely as I am enjoying them myself. Sorry

[peak jetty]

curses

[little silo]

Pls leave a 5 star review.

[peak jetty]

ok

[robust zephyr]

Many villagers to show... 1 per week... many weeks before release

[neat grove]

My dad makes rocket models, so I should have him make a Palia rocket.

[lunar tundra]

Poor 2️⃣ will get the votes someday 😞

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed

[silent cairn]

this is logic I hate to see

[little silo]

After characters are all introduced, they will move to a "furniture reveal vote" instead.

Oooh i vote for the couch

[merry crater]

Revealing furniture sets would be cool~

[cinder temple]

@surreal crest Your time may soon be upon you.

[lunar tundra]

The balance has been restored.

[merry crater]

But without the voting.

[buoyant heath]

I vote for the anti-aircraft gun nest

[wind ibex]

What if 1 is a construction worker, 2 is the cook, and 3 is a crazy guy with farm tools, who isn't a farmer?

[little silo]

You can't hurt furniture's feelings... well except Mystic Chair

[faint dawn]

[little silo]

Space invaders confirmed

[peak jetty]

sentient furniture you say

[surreal crest]

what mortal dares to ping me, the Mystic Chair!

[lunar tundra]

What if they are all Ashura Cosplaying as different villagers.

[little silo]

The chair speaketh!

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed

[little silo]

Suddenly a particular Alice in Chains song is stuck in my head...

Angry Chair.

[modern blaze]

nah

[wind ibex]

Ashura Balance is needed.

[robust zephyr]

😪

[faint dawn]

Balance is a lie.

Forgo the illusion of control.

[little silo]

Chaos is the only constant.

[robust zephyr]

Fight for balance or relax with caos

[faint dawn]

Chaos

[wind ibex]

Chaos is far from relaxing.

[little silo]

You cannot defeat choas.

[robust zephyr]

Yeeeahh

[robust zephyr]

Chappa/Chuu

[wind ibex]

Chaos is self defeating, give it enough time, and chaos falls to order.

[marble hedge]

OI. NOT WIT DAT ATTITUDE, 'UMIE

[little silo]

Sorry I spilled my 40k.

Must have been a TTS error

Don't start a WAAAAGH! over it, just here for the greater good.

I do not create chaos, I am a good boi :)

[marble hedge]

I mean, Orks start WAAAGGHHs over the breakfast menu.

[surreal crest]

can't wait for my aliexpress pants. They will fit well with my chaos t-shirt

[robust zephyr]

Chaos everywhere

[little silo]

I'm tyranid to not derail this chat into chaos

[wintry wasp]

No WAAAAAAAGGHHs. Only Blood for the Blood God! ... Can I pay tribute within Palia?

[surreal crest]

aight spacebois, ol' chairboi is in need for sum sleep. Cya!

[little silo]

Only the legion of alpha testers can answer that... the Alpha Legion, if you will.

[remote latch]

no animal reveal .. if they don't do a separate reveal system for them

[worldly lily]

Hey all

crazy weather today hot then storm moved thru then cool then now back hot again 😒

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed

[remote latch]

done

[cinder temple]

I enjoy that, for most game communities, balance refers to combat, classes, skillsets, and nerfs. Here in Palia, it just means 'Guys, the meme'.

[wind ibex]

Balance is needed ><

[candid sparrow]

the thing that I'm learning with each villager vote is if they give us someone with what looks like a funky tool we'll all pick it lmao

[golden shadow]

i'm just waitig for the reveal. everyone voting for who they think is gonna be farmer Brown. turns out to be a scifi bounty hunter with a laser blunderbuss and a radar dish for a helmet.

[worthy rose]

wtf, NDA

[remote latch]

can't help this time

[spare bobcat]

Agreeed!

[golden shadow]

what? it looks like someone wearing a farmer hat holding a hoe. i grew up in farm country. i've seen that like literally 400 times

[cinder temple]

Could be a plague doctor; I'll drop a picture in #💬│off-topic-chat for you in just a sec

[golden shadow]

oh yeah. never thought about that. they do have simlar wide-brimmed hat.

plus i've seen border patrol using a giant mirror on a stick that looks like the thing that one is holding. so could be police officer checking to see if we have any illegal goods hidden under our horses

[remote latch]

ooh I know who it could be .. treasure hunter (trainer) holding a metal detector 🙂

[golden shadow]

or maybe a beach bum with a metal detector

wait... treasure hunter/adventurer trainer? that. would. be. AWEsome!

[cinder temple]

Oh, I guess I can't use offtopic for that; lemme try Palia Memes.

[little silo]

Maybe a person in a management position with his hoe?

[remote latch]

management + hard grafting ?

[mellow verge]

Definitely looks like a farming tool to me

[remote latch]

yeah .. I think 3 is a farmer .. 1 I am wavering between cook and hunter woodcutter .. 2 I am up in the air about

[little silo]

Got that agriculture hustle

[mellow verge]

Poor number 2 there has reached Ashura status of not getting picked

Someone find their filled in silhouette!!

[remote latch]

there are no more 😦

[little silo]

#2 is bad at dodgeball.

[wind ibex]

#2 had said status with Ashura, but was skipped for the meme vote.

[mellow verge]

Sadness

But even Ashura lost, kinda. Being tied with ? Lol

[remote latch]

I even looked in the shimmerfly festival image in case someone was there

[golden shadow]

i voted for Hermie the elf (as i call number 2 because of the hat) because i wanna see a dentist in the game

[mellow verge]

Lmao

[cinder temple]

Well, we do see teeth in the trailer.

[golden shadow]

i wanna be a chapaa dentist. with tusks like that, they probably need a LOT of dental work

of course, i'd have to accept that i'd be literally getting paid peanuts...

[cinder temple]

That's a cute thought; Chapaa bringing people weird gifts like crows do.

[marble hedge]

🎵 You'll be a dentist. You have a knack for causing things pain 🎵

[sullen bison]

3 looks so intriguing by their silhouette!

[stiff ember]

Why is the farmer person winning the vote? Everyone can tell what they do. Is everyone that interested in finding out who is going to teach us to plant crops?

[mellow verge]

V.V

[golden shadow]

i'm telling you, that's not a farmer, that's a border patrol officer with a mirror on a stick to check for contraband hidden under the horse

[mellow verge]

No telling what the other two do

[cinder temple]

It's clearly a decontaminant sprayer wielded by a Good Doctor.

[golden shadow]

i'm pretty sure number 2 is a dentist. he's got that Hermie the Elf hat. he's got to be a misfit.

as far as number 1... idk, honestly. kinda looks like one of those pretty boy model types

[mellow verge]

Watch next week have another villager added then 1 and 2 still lose

And we could totally use a handsome pretty boy thank you! We've only had Jel so far

[cinder temple]

Is Jel not enough for you?

[mellow verge]

Was Tish and Kenyatta enough? Lol

[golden shadow]

Hassian is a handsome man. and Ashura is downright amazing.

[cinder temple]

Jel is all I need. Fabulous little skunk-striped nerd.

[mellow verge]

Oh yeah I forgot about Hassian but he looks to moody

[golden shadow]

Jel has a kinda Edward Scissorhands vibe to me

some people like the moody emo thing

[stiff ember]

Need all the pretty elf peoplez

[mellow verge]

Hassian is handsome but he's not a "pretty boy"

[cinder temple]

Anyone: Wow you're pretty!
Hassian:

[golden shadow]

true. but good looking is still good looking

i mean Sam Elliot is 77 today...

[mellow verge]

Nice

[wind ibex]

All the people revealed, except for 2 have been elves.

[mellow verge]

Need more grimalkin

[stiff ember]

Right. I was distinguishing between pretty human people and pretty elf people

[golden shadow]

i actually had a dream a few weeks ago about people losing their shit because S6 released an expansion that made grimalkins a playable race

[wind ibex]

No humans have been revealed...

[mellow verge]

That would be awesome

[golden shadow]

actually, there were plenty of humans revealed in the trailer. just no NPC humans... yet

[wind ibex]

Rin would be ecstatic.

[wind ibex]

We are talking villager votes...

[mellow verge]

Oh rin isn't the only one. I main khajiit in TES

They've also made it pretty evident the only humans are likely gonna be players since we're the legendary race

[zealous plank]

Ugh I wanna see villager 1. i bet they're a real cutie with great hair

[golden shadow]

oh, yeah. in that case you're right. so far it's been all elves except for one grimalkin and one golem

[mellow verge]

And a chapaa

[golden shadow]

and a tau

[midnight oak]

I accidentally got a mountain dew at the restaurant after several days caffeine free... I am filled with regret

[mellow verge]

I think Tau was the dogs name?

[remote latch]

From what I found from the news sites that attended the preview event .. the only humans are the players .. no npc humans .. if I read it right .. let me find the statement.

[midnight oak]

Oops, wrong chat. I mean uh..... I sure hope caffeine isn't in Palia. Yep.

[long raptor]

😢 Looking at this discord after watching yet another guild in world of warcraft disband in a ball of toxicity and flames... I hope this game comes soon and i hope it doesnt have the same mistakes most games have with toxicity between players.

[mellow verge]

If there's coffee, there's caffeine!

[cinder temple]

I expect there will be some drama, but hopefully the social tools in Palia will be better than most games.

[stiff ember]

Coffee is important

[golden shadow]

yup, Tau is the dog's name. for some reason i thought it was the name of the animal. like how chapaa is the name for the dire beavers

[marble hedge]

🥁

[remote latch]

https://venturebeat.com/2021/07/01/singularity-6-raises-30m-as-it-readies-launch-of-its-peaceful-mmo-palia/

Interesting parts in the news article
“A variety of other fantasy races now populate the world of Palia. But humans are suddenly coming back into the world for some reason. And those humans are the players.”

[marble hedge]

Hello, my name is Wippit and I'm a non-alpha spouse. It has been 28 days since pre-alpha took my wife It is 28 Days Later. Four weeks of pre-alpha for Passion, a zombie wasteland for me. And while villager reveals are nice, and the odd screen cap of animal life... I'm yelling at an empty world, and nothing is replying.

I think maybe going back to work today has bummed me out.

[mellow verge]

Really it just depends on players and not just social tools.
Even ff14 and all it's glory isn't without bad drama

[long raptor]

I think it is most games downfall if they are online.. Sadly its not a priority in development. I hope Palia will take it into consideration

[golden shadow]

but what if the reason the humans all disappeared 3000 years ago is becuase someone created a caffiene-free variety of coffee and it wiped out all the other varieties?

[mellow verge]

Ouch

[stiff ember]

De-caf Is a product of pure evil...

[mellow verge]

I enjoy it later at night when I want coffee but not a boost to stay awake

[marble hedge]

To be fair, if it's 3000 years later, and humans are just returning, none of them are caffeine-addicted. We could start fre- can I have a Pepsi?

[golden shadow]

for me, oddly enough, the caffiene in coffee puts me to sleep, even though a smaller amount of caffiene in a bottle of cola will keep me up all night

[stiff ember]

🤢 soda has too much sugar

[cinder temple]

Powered by bubbles.

[golden shadow]

i only drink diet. can't have the regular pop

[mellow verge]

zero sugar soda for me

And wouldn't it be cool to make soda in Palia? Technically you can make soda with yeast, so it's an idea that could work

[golden shadow]

of course... the artificial sweetners cause their own set of problems.

[marble hedge]

Me too. regular is too sweet now.

[golden shadow]

well, if they add alchemy to the game at some point, i don't see why fizzy soft drink wouldn't be possible

[stiff ember]

I just try to stick to water, coffee, tea. Coffee and tea are almost always just black

[mellow verge]

You don't need alchemy to make soda though. Cooking would be enough

[topaz path]

ginger beer!

[golden shadow]

i drink my tea either black and hot or green and cold. coffee i prefer with cream and sugar (stevia prefered)

[mellow verge]

I'm still hoping to see if they'll allow us to make alcoholic drinks or if that would somehow force them into bumping their rating.

[midnight oak]

Oh no what have I done?

Uh uh uh Palia beverages

[mellow verge]

Stevia is tasty

[golden shadow]

i think having alcohol would bump the rating, so i'm fine without it. but yeah, be nice to brew a beer in-game or better yet: MEAD

[remote latch]

I grew some Stevia .. tasted the leaf and spat it out .. definitely didn't taste 3 x sweeter than sugar

[tranquil cosmos]

Ciders too

[golden shadow]

well stevia is like maple. you don't just eat the leaves and get the flavour

[remote latch]

steeped in water ?

[mellow verge]

Your have to refine it into "sugar" lol

[golden shadow]

(voice of experience)

[mellow verge]

Mint leaves taste kinda bad but they make fantastic tea

[golden shadow]

i think you have to process it by like boiling the leaves and then letting the water boil off until you have just the compounds

ok, i know this'll sound weird, but i actually like to eat raw catnip

[remote latch]

I thought it might be something like that .. after I had lost the plant to winter .. will try it again next time I have a go

[mellow verge]

I'd love an indoor herb garden thing for my Palia house

[remote latch]

One of the news site findings I had .. regarding cooking - https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/palia-preview-singularity-6/ ) - Some of the décor is practical. Kitchens are used to access the game’s cooking system where players can craft meals out of ingredients they find in the world via minigames. Like Stardew Valley, players can plant and harvest crops, feeding into that system.

[golden shadow]

there's quite a few plants where boiling the leaves/roots/whatever and then boiling the water off until you're left with crystals or what have you is how you get useful compounds

[mellow verge]

I think until Palia comes out I'm just gonna binge farming sim games and I'll start with SDV cause I started that years ago now then abandoned it

[mellow verge]

That's how sugarcane works too if I'm not mistaken

[golden shadow]

as well as both maple and birch syrups

[remote latch]

I do similar to create feeding water for the plants with eggshells and teabags

[mellow verge]

Ok so once I tried to make Carmel for the first time, screwed it up and just ended up with a brown looking sugar

[golden shadow]

i think you have to add milk to get a proper caramel

[mellow verge]

I know that now lol

It was a few years ago. I felt pretty silly

[golden shadow]

so umm... how do Palians sweeten their foods? in europe before sugarcane, they used beet roots. now we have like 40,000 plants or chemicals that can be used

[remote latch]

well, not knowing what plants are grown or gathered in the game .. makes that hard to think of .. but worse case scenario I suspect Zeki will provide you with a sweet fix .. from his general store supplies .. at a cost I am sure 🙂

[celest maple]

Chats been quiet today huh

[remote latch]

not that i'veseen was quieter yesteray

[golden shadow]

well, i mean... we're not setting off fireworks or filming a Micheal Bay film...

[celest maple]

I joined just under 4k and everyone was active but it's strange for it to be quiet

Is eris still around

[remote latch]

several of the early on chatters are in the pe-alpha

[celest maple]

makes sense that it's quiet, the game's not even out of prealpha

I didn't get in but I dont mind tbh

[remote latch]

an what woody said .. there are lulls when people have nothing to say

[small hinge]

Palia waiting room woop woop!

[celest maple]

Wait wheres eris

He's not on the discord anymore

[golden shadow]

or are busy making dinner. i always have something to say. lol

[remote latch]

I usually alt tab when its busy and come back to tumbleweed

[remote latch]

We had a thing about chu and her washing machine a while back

That was funny

It' because you can't @ devs

[hallow girder]

Hey awesome fellows 👋

Hi

[hallow girder]

Any speculation tonight?

[remote latch]

new villager vote

[marble hedge]

I speculate that I will still be a non-alpha spouse.

[hallow girder]

I see! I keep voting the numba 1 but none care to see him 🤣

I wanna see if he's holding a round shield

[remote latch]

I also posted a picture speculation in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art

[hallow girder]

Nice, gonna take a look

Tailor master!

[carmine relic]

I wonder if you'd be in on the fun next version?

All 1,400 may've been taken now, but who knows what the limit is after that.

[forest bloom]

I'm hoping for honeybee keeping, for honey.

[reef fern]

[hallow girder]

I suppose they are having good moments reading about people crying out for a key 🤔

thank you <33

[carmine relic]

Yea, PC is where it starts. I dunno about other platforms though

[hallow girder]

Welcome to this crazy com 😁

[golden shadow]

ooo yes. bees. that would be awesome

And from the sites FAQ section : When are future tests happening?
We don’t have a specific timeline for large scale tests, but may be running small scale tests and feedback sessions over the coming months. If you’re signed up, we’ll reach out through email to let you know if you’re selected for a test.

[stray fractal]

can't wait to play this game asap ❤️ it looks really amazing

[carmine relic]

For me, I'd love a Switch release to get my Animal Crossing friends on this. I know servers full of people who could really use an actual community simulator that isn't more barebones than a plastic skeleton

[hallow girder]

Well crazy... Hunmm... In a good way. You know!

[lunar tundra]

Yes please, 100% need bee keeping

Though I kind of hope they turn it into a mystical animal pf some kind.

[golden shadow]

if you're gonna have farming, you need to pollinate the crops so you get fruit/seeds

[hallow girder]

Less than 3 years. Do not drop the hype 💪

[carmine relic]

Assuming a public testing phase doesn't technically count as earlier release for others. I can't remember the team's opinions on those though;.

[hallow girder]

I hope to get the same wave as you 🤭. I need my wiki-bot in game too. Otherwise I get lost

[worthy rose]

🎷 💨

[carmine relic]

It's ok, ya got friends you can ask about things for.

[hallow girder]

Hehehe I thought to play Palia to replace tinder 👀

[hallow girder]

Sounds tricky

[vocal bear]

Palia: the online dating game for e-daters /jk

[golden shadow]

idk... like maybe they give us a box hive and we just place it next to the garden plots?

maybe instead of bees, we find out shimmerflies are butterflies and they're the major pollinator in Palia

[hallow girder]

Hahaha really? I must be careful 😱

[stray fractal]

i hope that they will also add alpacas ❤️ they are so cute!! ❤️

[mighty pasture]

Did someone mention Alpacas?

[lunar tundra]

As long as I somehow get honey, I'd be fine with this!

[vocal bear]

butterfly nectar that u can turn into honey maybe?

[hallow girder]

Well I wanna make honey for sure. I'm a sweetie boy

[stray fractal]

@mighty pasture me me

[mighty pasture]

Now I just wish discord would ping me every time someone wrote Alpaca or Llama 🤣

[hallow girder]

None wants white bear... I'm the only one. Looks like I have to pay a dev 🤔

[mighty pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/no-llama-purple-llama-wave-your-head-gif-14993832

[stray fractal]

i have so many alpaca toys in my room ❤️

[remote latch]

shimmerfly nectar 🙂

[hallow girder]

I could share some as soon I have enough

[woeful sedge]

Alpacas are cute

[stray fractal]

a white bear will be cute..but no more cuter than an alpaca

[golden shadow]

Palia is a magical place. maybe we get honey from one of the fish. like a Sugarfin. or maybe there's a mineral like rock salt but sugar

[hallow girder]

I think... I have never seen an alpaca 🤔👀

[finite sparrow]

Nobody likes Santa Hat Guy I guess? Is he the next Ashura? XD

[remote latch]

watch Evan Almighty

[hallow girder]

Secretly... I will be the honey of Palia 👀

[stray fractal]

i've sent you a picture with my fav alpaca

[hallow girder]

Hahaha /jk

[hallow girder]

👀 where? We still don't have the mail box here 😭

[stray fractal]

dm unfortunately 👀 i'm not sure if you received my message

[hallow girder]

There's just one All Might! But this is another story

[golden shadow]

[hallow girder]

Gomennasai! I'm on phone and I do not see PM notifications. Gonna check now TY

[buoyant heath]

Maddie, are you randomly DMing photos of alpacas to Nordic countries?

[remote latch]

I believe so

[golden shadow]

i'd rather get a llama pic than a... well you know the rest

[zinc scarab]

If you’re doing so Maddie please continue to the world needs it

[hallow girder]

Nordic countries 🤔

Can countries answer PMs?

[buoyant heath]

Some countries don’t even have Prime Ministers

[hallow girder]

Some countries have it but would better not 🤭

[stray fractal]

so i have some photos of the alpacas, but now I've searched on google and I saw that Geranimo the alpaca must be put down to protect the cows in UK

the alpaca has tested positive for bovine tuberculosis twice and the minister wants to kill it..this is not fair

[hallow girder]

What about redpandas in Palia 🤔

[remote latch]

they're cute .. but .. maybe something similar

[buoyant heath]

I will ride them

[stray fractal]

redpandas are cute too

[woeful sedge]

omigosh yessssss I love them

[hallow girder]

How?? Red pandas are so small 😭 poor little cuties

[hallow girder]

Something like a nazgul 🤔?

[buoyant heath]

Six of them tied together, and I ride them like a surfboard

[wintry wasp]

I do hope there's dragons in Palia. But not like the "BURNINATE THE THATCH ROOF COTTAGES!" kind, but the "Yes. Verily. Hmm. So fancy, right-o chaps?" smart and chill dragons.

[hallow girder]

Chill dragons does exists?

[hallow girder]

Okay no redpandas for DaddyJoke!!

[grave vine]

ABSOLUTELY

wise cracking dragons please

[remote latch]

voiced by John Hurt

[woeful sedge]

I want to have tea with a David Attenborough dragon

[wintry wasp]

Sadly that is impossible. 😦

[remote latch]

ah .. he was getting on

So .. if Najuma being a skilled tinkerer means she is a skill trainer .. what sort of things do you think you would be able to make in Palia if you were a tinkerer and what resources do you think we will need ?

[wintry wasp]

Explosives. ... Wait... If there's explosives... Can I make a a blasting quarry?

[remote latch]

hmm maybe

[topaz path]

or.. john leguizamo?

[remote latch]

hmm wasn't he Luigi in Mario Brothers film ? checking

[topaz path]

clown in Spawn

and also the magical sitar in Moulin rouge

[remote latch]

Ah yeah .. thought I recognised the name .. I can't see him with a dragon voice .. but then I only really have Luigi ( Letsago ) voice in my head rofl

[buoyant heath]

https://tenor.com/view/capulet-romeo-juliet-take-it-off-gif-15366953

^^^ John Leguizamo\

[wintry wasp]

You know who should voice a dragon? MatPat. Cause it would be silly.

[remote latch]

no .. Brian Blessed .. rofl

[hallow girder]

Mining resources maybe

[marble hedge]

Great, all this talk about explosives and John Leguizamo, and all I can see now the the bob-omb scene from Mario Bros.

[left sage]

hey im always free for voice work (i may not be matpat but uh I can make instant ramen)

[hallow girder]

Miso ramen for everyone!

[wintry wasp]

I won't lie. I keep having a temptation to 1- get a good mic and 2- Just get into VAing. Maybe S6 sees this and could be all 'sure, lets get this random nobody with a garbage mic (Disclaimer: That's a joke in the cross out. I'm not actually being THAT kind of person.)

[bright jungle]

All this talk of voice acting got me thinking, does anyone know how/where to actually submit a sample for voice acting? 😅

[wintry wasp]

Depends on where. I know there's some casting call websites focused on VA work. There's also looking into the websites for specific projects or checking their social media. But I suspect Palia might just be going with the "voicing" we heard in the trailer.

[hallow girder]

Did someone said that want my voice for a NPC?

[north pecan]

I can't wait for this game to officially come out 😄

[hallow girder]

In the meantime you can speculate with us 💪

[zinc scarab]

I’d love it if the NPCs were voiced

[hallow girder]

As I said already I would like to talk to NPCs 🤣

[north pecan]

me too!!!!

[hallow girder]

The time for Alexa,Google home has come... Now we need to talk to Palia's NPCs

Like: "hey Ashura, where is my dear friend WikiBot?"

Ashura: "Sir Finland, savior of Palia, your friend is hiding in a brush because he's bored of you"

Typical conv with NPCs 🤣

Well good night everyone 🤗

[remote latch]

nah, was alt tabbed for a while 🙂

ok now I'm off for the night ..

[warm plover]

poor santa hat and maybe chef... overshadowed by random farmer guy

[buoyant heath]

Running straight to the new hotness

[warm plover]

disloyal,,,

[quick dove]

Well, we have Ashura the InnKeeper, we now need the local farmer

[buoyant heath]

I did a meme for you

[lunar tundra]

Santa hat is almost ashura levels of left behind in the villager votes

[harsh sedge]

Is there any new news on when Palia might be released? I haven't checked in in awhile.

[buoyant heath]

There's been no information on release dates. They are still in the early testing phases. Devs have said "much less than three years"

[quick dove]

[vital marlin]

Are there more Pre-alpha invite going out? I just stumbled upon this via a friend and am HIGHLY interested

Obviously I know I may not be picked but I was just curious if there was even a chance

[buoyant heath]

There haven't been any announcements about more waves or invites. They just updated the website (https://palia.com) to say "sign up for future tests in the coming months" instead of the pre-alpha sign ups they had before.

[wintry wasp]

Ok so going way back to the nugget about PvP(and the lack of traditional PvP) and being more about friendly competition/games. ... I think us actives should try to invent a game we'd like to see in Palia and see what happens. 😄

[celest maple]

just ordered 80 dollars of beef jerky

[celest maple]

some kind of a leaderboard/scoreboard or leveling system that incentivises competition i guess

then stuff like wheelbarrow races, cooking tournaments, fishing tournaments (catch the biggest fish) stuff like that.

[wintry wasp]

I wouldn't even go that far for this, or at least not right away.

[celest maple]

downhill wheelbarrow races would be very funny if possible, especially with friends

[wintry wasp]

Ok but if we get carts like I want. Cart races. 100%

I'm still the special kind of dork who would actually invite over people in Palia and play D&D on Roll20 or something while we're all at the table ingame.

[celest maple]

imagine if we got to design our own little carts for cart racing

then have downhill cart racing where we had to deftly jump and swerve around roots and rocks

[wintry wasp]

Oh I'm talking practical carts.

Like, stuff small like just a hand cart bigger than a wheelbarrow, all the way to animal pulled hauling wagons.

[celest maple]

aah, i thought you meant gravity racing/soapboxes

[wintry wasp]

But racing those. lol

[celest maple]

yeah that'd be kinda funny

i'd like some kind of a fishing competition though, kind of like the booty bay one from world of warcraft but more interactive and fun

[wintry wasp]

OOOOOOHHHHH. Like, resource wagon relay races. If we can pile in big mounds to transport in a wagon...

Two teams fill up their wagons with logs/ore/whatever big. And use the smallest one to see who can move all of theirs to another wagon or the neighborhood first.

MAKE RESOURCE GATHERING FUN FOR ALL! Not just the weirdos who can spend hours chopping trees.

[stiff zinc]

Hey now 🤨

[celest maple]

HEEY

[stiff zinc]

What’s wrong with my Tree Monopoly

[celest maple]

i agree with hard though haha

[wintry wasp]

What? If I were to have pre-ordered (NO PRE-ORDERS(some exceptions apply)) New World... I'd have clear cut an area.

Literally only to see if I could.

Ooooohhh. Imagine if they borrowed from Rust for rock and tree harvesting.

Where it's more than just "click tree get wood" but you gotta go around the tree and such.

[stiff zinc]

Oooh that would be nice harvesting minigame to make it a little faster

[wintry wasp]

Yeah. Make it optional at higher skill, of course. So people who REALLY want to be lumberjacks can get really fast at it.

[stiff zinc]

Underwater content would be cool further down the road

[wintry wasp]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas

I'm that weirdo who LOVES that zone in WoW. It's so super hated. lol

[stiff zinc]

Underwater crystal caves, special mob caves, underwater/coastal farms

[wintry wasp]

I fully support at least one fully underwater zone in any MMO/open world game. 😄 (No I don't LOVE Subnautica. Not at all. Nope. Not me.)

Same with islands high in the sky. (Not at all biased by my love of Skies of Arcadia or that I'm making a D&D world that's a floating world.)

[stiff zinc]

How far into fantasy is Palia even going that’s the real question

Since alt races aren’t planned off the bat

[wintry wasp]

From what we know, the known history is that it was a very magic world.

[stiff zinc]

Humans V all is the trend I’ve seen so far

[celest maple]

i like vast woodlands

[stiff zinc]

I don’t mind that at all just what is included in “all”

[celest maple]

also, i like the idea of having a low fantasy/standard race in a magical world

makes it feel more immersive in a way, but having more races available would be nice

[stiff zinc]

Yeah I would just like an idea of what we can see ourselves pitted against

[wintry wasp]

People also forget that fantasy doesn't NEED to be magic loaded. It's literally just the fantastical stuff that isn't in our world, but isn't sci-fi.

So just having elves and cat people in a rustic setting with low tech is very solid fantasy.

[celest maple]

my use of magical in this case is synonymous with fantastical, but in any case i believe that s6 mentioned that elves can practice magic, and humans generally can't

[wintry wasp]

I've always seen magic as optional in fantasy, but it sure is fun.

I got the implication that humans can't at the start. I still support allowing players to get mundane magic over time.

[celest maple]

long term players become turbo wizards

[wintry wasp]

But also, too many people see "magic" as "FIREBALL! LIGHTING BOLT! PEW PEW RAINBOW LASERS FROM HANDS!"

Where I tend to be "What I can do with Mage Hand to be lazy."

Like using those utility spells to hold and flip pages in a book while eating.

That reminds me... Since I learned about Starfinder... I kinda wanna play a "Star Ocean" inspired campaign, but that's a random off topic tangent. lol

[stiff zinc]

I’ve always loved magic that centers around CC like pulls pushes and grouping

Especially when you can play hybrid with melee

Mobility magic is also great

[wintry wasp]

Ooo. Maybe we don't get direct magic, but we can work with elves for magi-tech. 😮

[timid topaz]

I heard there will be pets, I really hope we can get foxes, bunnies, cats, dogs, and horses! And maybe other farm animals too <3

[celest maple]

being able to set fast track magic anchors around the world would be cool

[stiff zinc]

^ I think mountain animals were mentioned once

[stiff zinc]

^

[wintry wasp]

Like a magically powered rocket axe for murdering harvesting trees super fast.

[timid topaz]

I'm so excited about this game, it sounds like a really fun, nice world that everyone can enjoy without forcing anyone to do stuff they don't like!

[stiff zinc]

Enjoy your pet Ram

[timid topaz]

My personal dream is to be an animal adoption agency / ranch / farm, where I grow and sell crops and cook and take care of animals and breed them and sell pets to other players, trained and untrained : ) that would be so cool

I don't know if the mechanics would ever support it but it sounds so badass!

[stiff zinc]

I think they answered a question about animal husbandry in FAQ

[timid topaz]

Really!? zooms away to read

[stiff zinc]

Actually it’s not in FAQ it’s on a google doc that compiled the devs answers to questions

Sadly I don’t know where it is but a lot of people must have it

[stiff zinc]

“Animal Husbandry is a common topic for us at the studio”

[carmine relic]

HUZZAH! I am here!

[timid topaz]

Thank you for helping! I really hope to see future talk about what is decided. : ) Man, Palia just seems so... wholesome, and ideal, even while tackling potential Big Topics as mentioned in one of the answered questions. I'm looking forward to this. Community Simulation MMO is my new favorite thing ever, I never realized anyone would really be interested in making a game like this - the closest I've seen to it is Eco, and just. MMOCS is so nice I love it and I really really really really want to play. >////< Agh! Sorry, I'm just. I only found out about this today and I'm practically rabid. : )

I've always been interested in this sort of game - though I always figured I'd have to settle for, like, Colony Management sims. This is giving me so much excitement and peace of mind, knowing there are people out there that enjoy this as well!

[celest maple]

i totally get the excitement, i'm stoked to head into Palia with you all

[carmine relic]

Same

[grizzled marten]

This game is gonna have the best community

[celest maple]

i wonder what kind of player archetypes and niches will arise in the game

[kindred sable]

already doess

[grizzled marten]

True

[warm plover]

<@&830144903652311090>

Dammit all the mods are asleep
Noone click on that it's a fake link to grab your account info

ah there they go

[green kraken]

Huzzah!!

[warm plover]

Obsessed that they put /steam/ in their discord nitro scam

[pulsar meteor]

thanks Mods! y'all rock

[errant flame]

Thanks for the heads up

[topaz path]

rin you are amazing to protect and Deku is amazing to respond so quickly

[warm plover]

nooo im not amazing

also are they just popping up more and more lately
maybe we should make a leaderboard for how many we can nab

[topaz path]

hahah

[errant flame]

We're looking into ways to resolve all the spambots, but your best course of action for now is to ping mods as you do already and we'll get onto it asap~ :)

[warm plover]

ah right you ban them so all their messages get deleted right? so we dont need to ping you in multiple channels?

[pulsar meteor]

if the links keep changing, yeah not much they can do proactively that won't stifle genuine comments

oh is that the case? now i feel a little bad for the extra pings

[light yew]

:0

[warm plover]

isnt it possible to censor the main link they use? theres like five variants of those ive seen and then they differ afterwards
idk how censorbots in discord work tho

I actually don't know if they ban them or scrub their messages one by one so it's better to be safe than sorry i guess, unless we get word from ye olde mods

[quick dove]

if they can block phrases/links they may be able to target specific link types

[pulsar meteor]

i believe there is an option to purge all posts by a member when you ban them but i haven't had to do it in a while so i'm not sure

[warm plover]

i havent seen that screen in a long time either, since im usually just a regular member

[shrewd idol]

Have a goodnight my Palia family

[light yew]

gn!

[celest maple]

good night, but it's actually morning

[quick dove]

I though a ban auto purged posts I may be wrong, but I'd say best bet is to look at a bot to target specific types of links, most common scams use either a url shortener or a custom domain so just a pure ban on url shorteners might help

[celest maple]

banning shortened urls is not a good idea

[quick dove]

I mean, thats the first Idea that came to mind since they are commonly used for hiding scams, and its better than banning all links

[celest maple]

i don't think anyone has suggested to ban all links

[quick dove]

I mean, yes no one did, your right.

I just wanted to say that if any kind of censoring of links would take place one of the most common links used is url shorten links.

the alternative would be continue to just monitor chat or outright no linking

[celest maple]

what i'm concerned with is banning an entire type of link. palia has an insane amount of moderators here, i think they can handle stifling those links pretty quickly

[waxen basin]

Hello

[quick dove]

welcome, apologies has you came at a weird moment

[waxen basin]

I see

What’s going on ?

[celest maple]

somebody posted a scam link, they got promptly banned and the message got removed

we're having a post mortem discussion

[waxen basin]

Oh

I was in a sever that got doxxed once’s

It’s annoying

Why is the slow mode thing enabled ??

[celest maple]

it's a remnant from when alpha keys got rolled out and activity here was bustling

they haven't bothered removing it

[waxen basin]

I see lol

One thing I really do want in the game btw is magic I love magic is games and I think it could be easily put in this game for combat and out of combat abs I think it would fit very well

[celest maple]

we'll see what'll happen, check the pins in this channel for documents that have assembled faqs and other answers from the devs regarding features in the game

[waxen basin]

How do I look at pins

[warm plover]

they might add combat later but its definitely not the focus
as for out of combat magic, we don't really know

[celest maple]

i don't use a phone often so I don't know

[waxen basin]

I think flying spells would be a cool non combat magic type

[warm plover]

if youre on mobile you swipe from the right side of the screen to the left, and look at the icon of the 📌 in the top right
if youre on desktop, then just look for the 📌 in the top right

[waxen basin]

Or maybe a Jump spell since they want you to explore the world

Oh thank you

[warm plover]

maybe, but they also said they want to have actual barriers like mountain ranges and stuff blocking off maps rather than invisible walls, and huge movement type stuff like that might make that way too hard to pull off

Magic Skill Line? Definitely no 'magic' skill to level up like 'hunting' atm
i'll see if i can find more relevant quotes for you

[waxen basin]

I mean maybe hover magic then? Idk I Jsut want some magic in combat mainly but out of combat magic would be cool

And thank you

[warm plover]

maybe

[waxen basin]

I Just really like the idea of being a mage

[light yew]

i love flashy magic 👌

[waxen basin]

Same

It’s fun to blind your friend with spell jk lol

[warm plover]

if there was magic in the game i'd expect it to be more like... "help grow plants" or "heat up coffee" and not "fireball" or "lightning bolt"

[spring rivet]

good morning pals! 🦆

[warm plover]

hi ducky

[waxen basin]

Combat magic would be so cool thou and they do want players to play what they want in game so they might add it

[warm plover]

well the focus definitely isnt on combat

[waxen basin]

Can’t be anything too flashy or over the top thou

[summer frigate]

Isn't there not supposed to even be a health bar? So like...zero combat. Or did I just assume that?

[warm plover]

theres not supposed to be health bars or stamina bars, no

[waxen basin]

They said there is combat but I don’t know what it will be like

I want it to be good and I want to be able to use magic cause i thinks it’s cool and would fit the fantasy world

It also isn’t a focus point atm

[warm plover]

Combat? We're not ready to get into detail on this yet, but we'll have both combat like systems, such as Hunting, and eventually more traditional combat. Like most of our skills, you'll be able to choose your level of participation in it.
No combat atm, we'll let you know. You can hunt tho
Hunting is the most action-oriented skill in the pre-alpha. But you are right - it's NOT combat. We have some really exciting plans in the "action" space for this game, but I can't tell you anything about them right now. Your patience is appreciated here.
We won't have dedicated roles, or roles themed around combat. Hence trying to avoid the traditional RPG vibes

thats all we have

[summer frigate]

Cool

[waxen basin]

Thank you

No dedicated roles is nice

[summer frigate]

I honestly am not a big fan of all the pointless combat of wandering monsters in other games. Even though it's sometimes a necessary farming mechanic.

[waxen basin]

Idk how they are going to do combat without a health bar thou maybe they might add one or maybe a way for you to be kicked down and haft to be picked back up either by your self or by a friend

I really love combat with it’s not the whole game I like it when it’s a option

[summer frigate]

Yeah

[waxen basin]

Like I dislike pvp for the most part unless it’s me and my friends missing around throwing one another off the to the void cause we managed to get outside the game map…. Totally didn’t happen totally didn’t lose a character lol

[summer frigate]

Lol

[waxen basin]

Lol I have a video of that somewhere but I’ll haft to find it

[celest maple]

i really like PvP, and it sucks that Palia won't have it but then again PvP seems like something Palia can do without and it still be a good game

[warm plover]

i hate pvp

[waxen basin]

It was funny cause one pert had a white barrier that if you get knocked back it o your character for some unknown reason would flow back onto “land” upside down wavering his arms backwards but I saw a part that didn’t have that white barrier so I made a new character found my fiends and jump and losted the character lol

[summer frigate]

What if they had magic that gave you abilities that helped you get through the map? Like a special levitation spell thing or elemental stuff or something. I'm excited now

Magic doesn't have to just be related to combat.

[waxen basin]

The only time I like pvp is if it’s skill based and not pay to win so it’s a equal playing field

Abs that’s what I thought too

[summer frigate]

Yeah

[waxen basin]

Maybe a spell that allows you to walk on water

[summer frigate]

Yeah

[surreal crest]

morning

[waxen basin]

I want magic to be magic not a combat style only so I want non cmo at roles for magic too like Druid spells and etc

[warm plover]

it would be super hard to keep the map boundaries believable with all those movement type spells though
