❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha

[dark pewter]

the world is curated, rather than open. i suspect theres many things to discover as you go through the story and quests. nothing about underwater has been said

[gloomy current]

Nothing on Monetization or Pay Model yet.

[fiery stirrup]

made by ex-riot and blizzard employees so extrapolate what you will from that

[wary folio]

Yeah ik, I had to be sure 😅😅

[errant pagoda]

you forgot epic and zygna lol

[dark pewter]

i just realized your pfp is a dag

uh oh mods are here, run!

[stoic ember]

Is there an NDA if you get an invite to play pre alpha?

[dark pewter]

yes for now

[fiery stirrup]

yeah its in faq i think

[errant pagoda]

Dig to bedrock quickly and place a block at the enterence.

[runic notch]

We have great devs from all over, some company names get picked up when others don't

[stoic ember]

Dang I’m really excited to play it on stream

[dark pewter]

theres only 1 company that matters here. S6

[pine minnow]

sorry but the game will not be streamable

[storm sapphire]

does anyone know who scored the music for the trailer?

[stoic ember]

Understandable

[frank turret]

Does Palia plan to natively support Linux in any way?

[pine minnow]

it was actually metallica

[dark pewter]

the companies that the devs came from are not indicative of the devs themselves or how they will develop the game

[errant pagoda]

❤️ Its one of the reasons I look so forward to the game, S6 is so diverse, can not wait to see what comes from all the freedom.

[dark pewter]

ive been wondering this myself, for now its just windows. maybe in the future with consoles they will do linux and mac

[plain grail]

I look forward to it because it has people from so many places.

[wary folio]

I hope it would be playable on the switch since they took influence from BOTW & animal crossing

[pine minnow]

the game will never be coming to switch, sorry to say

[wild apex]

I have a question about the quest system. Will there be a variety of quests or will it be more simple as in fetch quests and turn in stuff. Or will there be puzzle solving quests and other interactive type quests?

[frank turret]

Well hopefully our wonderful Linux gaming community can create a lutris wine script that works :)

[stoic ember]

Any updates on enemies?

[pine minnow]

there will not be a variety of quests, only fetch quests will be present in the final version of the game

[dark pewter]

i hate relying on wine though T.T

[signal finch]

None so far!

[wild apex]

@pine minnow thank you

[gloomy panther]

will pre-alpha be under NDA?

[errant pagoda]

Home owners association, debt collectors, termites >_>

[dark pewter]

yes

[gloomy current]

Tom Nook is the Final Boss

[pine minnow]

no, you can do anything you want with it

[gloomy panther]

welp thats mixed now, kek

[slender copper]

Hate to tag you, but I'm actually really curious. ^^ @regal pumice

[pine minnow]

tom nook will not be the final boss, though he will be present in the final version as a tax evader

[dark pewter]

pre-alpha is under NDA for the beginning

[frank turret]

Ya it's unfortunate... But it's come a long way. I use it for WoW and it works great once in game

[dark pewter]

i got to the point where if i couldnt flatpak it, i wouldnt use it lol

[frank turret]

What distro? I use Manjaro

[dark pewter]

ubuntu mostly

[gloomy panther]

from looking through NDA replies, there defintely will be one, guess I coulda looked first lol

[wary folio]

Will the housing be instanced?

[frank turret]

Ubuntu is great too. That's what I used for 3 years.

[dark pewter]

yes

[stoic ember]

Gotta say it gives me confidence knowing S6 is made up of devs from many big name companies! I love a good branching off/success story

[wary folio]

I mean I knew that would make the most sense but thought I'd ask lol

[gloomy current]

Take anything any non-Dev says with a grain of salt. Refer to the FAQ so you aren't swindled into misinformation

[frank turret]

I'm excited some of the orig blizzard devs are working on it

[wary folio]

How many different biomes are yall thinking of adding in for homes to be built on?

[regal pumice]

No worries about the tag! Unfortunately I am not the right person for that question, but I'll make sure to pass it along.

[sand vapor]

Just a quickie; will there be audio chat channels in the future? I'd love to be able to discuss the game casually with folks.

I understand if that might be a bit untennable.

[dark pewter]

any answers i give have been taken straight from devs

ive been here all day reading and watching

[frank turret]

Proximity chat like PlanetSide lmao

[slender copper]

Sweet. Thank you so much :)

[sand vapor]

I meant here on Discord.

[frank turret]

Oh 🤣

[gloomy current]

I know, you've been great 💯

But I'm talking in general

[signal finch]

@dark pewter Question answering buddies.

[dark pewter]

once the pre-alpha starts, there will be channels added for discussions

[sand vapor]

Legendary.

[wary folio]

Yeah I'd love to hop into the suggestions channel but I figured that's best used after we know more

[dark pewter]

ofc those channels will only be for those in the alpha, im assuming there will be a role assigned, not entirely sure on that though

[hollow lily]

Sorry if this has been asked but will there be lgbtq+ romance options?

[dark pewter]

yes!

[signal finch]

Yep!

[gloomy current]

the Pre-Alpha Channels be hidden probably 🤔

[errant pagoda]

I would say there would be some restrictions given a NDA.

[dry atlas]

Yes, all NPCs will be romanceable by all characters

[dark pewter]

im not even sure if the pre-alpha channels are already made lol

[wary folio]

I hope they have dads and not just skinny guys or girls

[stoic ember]

I’m interested in how the cross servers will work. IGN reported that you won’t be stuck in one server like WoW and that your friends can be spread out in different servers

[dry atlas]

I assume there will be as devs are big on representation. However, that option won't be available in the pre-alpha

[gloomy current]

I will 100% have a Dad Bod if able

[dark pewter]

from whats been said, there will be a wide variety of body types and structure

[errant pagoda]

Well wow does have some cross server stuff, but according to the google doc, small servers but cross realm to some degree

[dark pewter]

characters are not locked to specific servers

[wary folio]

I'm hoping they do that for the npc romances too @dark pewter

[earnest ledge]

Any Zelda references? 🙂

[dark pewter]

theres gotta be some little nods in there :)

[errant pagoda]

The master sword is in the stone, you must level swordsmanship to max to pull it out

[stoic ember]

Hopefully that means progression will carry over smoothly too

[solid veldt]

#aswill be any kind of combat on the game? Pvp or pve

[earnest ledge]

YOOOOOOO. Alright. That’s my goal.

[signal finch]

There will be PVE aspects, but no PVP until later, possibly, in small amounts.

[dark pewter]

pvp is not in, but could be in the future in small ways. there is pve combat

[errant pagoda]

Twas a joke, but who knows 😛

[wary folio]

How high can we build? Is the skybox pretty high up?

[solid veldt]

Great

[earnest ledge]

now i am sad. But I shall hope

[dark pewter]

oo yeah good question, skybox...i didnt even think of that

[gloomy current]

I will build the most Rickety of towers

[signal finch]

Sadly that hasn't been covered just yet.

[wary folio]

It would be fun to have arena or BG style content around trying to get X super common thing like a bundle of cloth for making rugs

[errant pagoda]

That is a good question, suppose that would depend on the capacity of the server?

[wary folio]

^ yeah

[dark pewter]

panic

[solid veldt]

Hype is real

[wary folio]

So is there a server limit? Like x amount of players per server?

[gloomy current]

[dark pewter]

reminder to check pinned messages and #❔│game-faqs !!

[woeful mulch]

Are you guys looking into VR at all? For there's really no better way to experience and take in a beautiful world the standing right in and VR really does this best!

[left cloak]

I'm so gonna change my name on someones discord to "Several people" 🙂

[dark pewter]

very helpful google doc full of answers

[wooden surge]

how will the combat system be like since we saw weapons in the trailer?

[tiny vessel]

When the game officially releases and has other platforms to play on, will there be cross-save features?

[sudden frost]

@mint pebble did anyone mention how awesome you are ? /bow

[dark pewter]

no specifics are given at this time

[signal finch]

So far, the Devs haven't covered that with us, yet!

[gloomy current]

Unknown as of yet

[pine minnow]

whys the game called palia

[lone jetty]

Can some dev secretly share a Screenshot of the Combat system? 😏

[wooden surge]

since we heard that we dont need combat to beat the game is it going to be more of a politics type of game?

[wary folio]

oh good question!

[plain grail]

Forget combat and politics. Let me win the game through the market!

[wary folio]

If I romance everyone I get all the best discounts and win the game right

I hope we can collect pets like world of warcraft. Either pets or hunter pets

[signal finch]

It's time for me to wind down, tag me if you need me!

[wary folio]

night!

[errant pagoda]

A better question, Why not :P. If i had to hazard a guess, I'm guessing the world is called Palia 😛

[gloomy current]

It's a Community Sim so Dungeons are not the focus but are available

[wary folio]

we, as a community, wanna beat down some problem people in dungeons

lol jk

[novel mason]

you're poly too? 🙂

[errant pagoda]

Conquer the dungeons, put torches on the mob spawners 😛

[wary folio]

for video games I am

[left cloak]

Do we know where the servers will be located? NA/EU for example is always slow for those of us in Asia

[dark pewter]

i saw the answer somewhere and now i cant find it T.T i believe it was something to do with pal, friendly nature

[wooden surge]

will other races be available like the cat people or the golem like automatons?

[dark pewter]

poly people unite!. ha...get it?

[rotund lark]

hi guys to singularity 6 your game looks a MAY zinggggggg just wanna asked, will it be like a tank class dps or healer class ?

[dark pewter]

there are no classes, just skills

[solid veldt]

Combat dont need to be the focus, in real it is not in any mmo, it can be just a good plus

[wooden surge]

but if it has a combat system dont you think it should be good?

[gloomy current]

But also there's things like Hunting and Fishing so there's bound to be interesting tasks in building up the community and maybe might have to defend it. Who knows, there's not a lot in terms of specificity

[dark pewter]

humans are the pc race, elves are in progress, other than that, nothing has been confirmed

[solid veldt]

Class are stuff from pre sail age lol

[wooden surge]

so dwarves are an option

[dark pewter]

dwarves would be nice

i love playing small races

[gloomy current]

Dwarves are just Short Humans

[wary folio]

dwarves are chubby short humans sir!

[gloomy current]

[dark pewter]

in WoW i only play gnomes and goblins lol

[errant pagoda]

#NoGnomes, dwarves can stay 😛

[solid veldt]

Yes, but make the game arrpund it is not a good ideia or ir become an WoW

[wooden surge]

i forgot the name of the ff14 race but its cute and tiny

[dark pewter]

lalafel

[wary folio]

the potatos?

[gloomy current]

I mean the Combat doesn't need to blow your mind, that's not the focus of the game, but it should be serviceable enough to be enjoyable

[wooden surge]

will the game be third person or overhead?

[sharp star]

Lalafel

[gloomy current]

Falafel

[dark pewter]

third person yes, as for over head? ehhh im not sure on exact camera angle

[ruby moon]

kinda like stardew valley

[wooden surge]

i dont tihnk stardew has a good combat system

[errant pagoda]

It will be interesting on the approach it takes, Tera's combat was interesting 99% of the time you could avoid any damage if you reacted fast enough.

[dark pewter]

from what ive seen its typical 3rd person, PC is centered, maybe slightly off to the side

[ruby moon]

like stardew in that the combat isn't the main focus. that's my take away from what i've seen

[gloomy current]

[flat osprey]

Is Pappy THE pappy from Wildstar?!

[dark pewter]

any plans for addon support? of course only ones that wouldnt allow for unfair advantage

[viscid fable]

He is not lol

[flat osprey]

Aw

[uneven quartz]

do we know a release date?

[viscid fable]

I think a few people have asked

[solid veldt]

Pliz say yes

Customizatiom is very important

[dark pewter]

no current release date,

[uneven quartz]

huh

[errant pagoda]

Soon tm

[wooden surge]

how long is the game estimated to be gameplay wise for the story?

[dark pewter]

unless you mean for pre-alpha, in which case it could be a month, could be a bit sooner.

[uneven quartz]

ok

[solid veldt]

Mmo takes long, but pliz dont make it 10 years like bless xD

[errant pagoda]

pre alpha sign up said, hopefully let you know in a few weeks 😛

[dark pewter]

or worse, indefinite like star citizen

[fallen bough]

I notice "cooking" hasn't been mentioned in this server. Might there be cooking? 👀

[solid veldt]

Come on key, im w8ting

[dark pewter]

there is!

[errant pagoda]

Star Citizen is a myth 😛 but soon is fine, so long as its not another cyberpunk, oh boy the meme's still persist for that one.

[wooden surge]

isnt it a team af around 60?

[dark pewter]

cooking hasnt been talked about in depth, but from articles, its possible to cook in the same vessel with others. other than that, no idea

[wooden surge]

i mean of around

[dark pewter]

i can only go based on how many ive seen online at once, which is 29 max

[dark pewter]

im sure theres more though

[viscid fable]

not every employee is in discord though.

[dark pewter]

that is also true

[errant pagoda]

S6 is supposedly around a group of 50? Give or take

[dark pewter]

it doesnt say on their website unfortunately

[mossy moth]

As exploration seems to be a good part of the game, is it possi le there will be some vehicules, like boats, In Which you can personnalise interior?

[gloomy current]

Unknown

I think

[errant pagoda]

They had some gliders in the trailer? not sure how that applies

[solid veldt]

Star citizien will be released in 4790

[dark pewter]

theres been no mention of vehicles, but mounts and pets are both in the roadmap

and yes, there is a glider

theres also a planned fast travel system, they dont want people to have to walk across the map all the time lol

[solid veldt]

Pliz ve a teleport see something walking is boring

[dark pewter]

does a glider count as a vehicle?

[errant pagoda]

Would be kinda fun building a kart or small boat just to go "Weeeee" around the world.

Depends on the classification of glider I suppose

[tropic stag]

Have they talked about the size of the world?

[solid veldt]

It will be cool if some mechanic can make a glider

[gilded ferry]

Smaller than Breath of the Wild was the quote i believe

[gloomy current]

Maybe a fishing boat for catching the rare stuff. But who knows

[dark pewter]

not a lot, currently theyve said smaller than botw, with plans to expand as they go

[tropic stag]

makes sense

[errant pagoda]

Some Gliders are technically aircraft so I suppose those ones would be?

[old granite]

Have they come up with a price on the game?

[gilded ferry]

not yet

[dark pewter]

the world is 'curated' rather than open

[viscid fable]

they might have but it's not public info yet 😛

[dark pewter]

they will not discuss it publicly atm

[pale dagger]

Will it be easy to make new friends in this game? Eg will I wander into random strangers throughout my travel?

[fair sage]

Will the game be on Steam?

[dark pewter]

undecided at this time

[dark pewter]

yes, your server will always be populated as best it can be

[solid veldt]

#❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha there will be lpts of loads? The game will be instanced or open world with dynamic processing?

[dark pewter]

they want to avoid loading screens, player homes are instanced. other than that, not quite sure as it hasnt been said

[proven basalt]

The game will have battle or mobs to fight?

[errant pagoda]

Yes but optional?

[solid veldt]

Yes but not the main focus

[dark pewter]

there is pve combat, no pvp at this time, but may be added later as a small thing

[wanton badge]

U can build your own town? I know something like a guild town

[proven basalt]

Do you know this is what a lot of people want for a long long time? Good luck with the game!

[errant pagoda]

I would laugh if pvp was some kind of Mario kart thing. running around in lil go karts

[gloomy current]

Just gotta watch out for the Homeowners Association. They get on you if you don't mow your lawn enough

[unreal gyro]

well it is like the people in your guild has a house around you like a town @errant pagoda

[dark pewter]

unconfirmed about building a whole town, but you do have your own plot

[solid veldt]

Mmos are usually not receptive with pvp cause of the grind factor. It makes pvp very hatd to balance in mmos

[dark pewter]

oh woops wrong reply, chat moved lol

[proven basalt]

I mean the game itself

[mossy moth]

Every great game have /dance.... will you allow it?

[dark pewter]

there were talks of roleplaying aspects for players to enjoy, so its possible!

[solid veldt]

Ah, yes. Im searching for a social focused mmo for a long

[rotund lark]

will there be weather change ?

[random bear]

Will the neighborhoods be like instances? Will anyone be able to go into anyone else's neighborhood?

[rotund lark]

i so want to biuld a snow MONSTErrr XD

[errant pagoda]

Initial concept of pvp is folks beating another into oblivion (Aka WoW), competition or something else would make more sense given this style.

[solid veldt]

There wilk be Magic or some magics skills? #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha

[wanton badge]

Im a little curious about something . This game will be 100% online? Or can invite a few to your game session ? Multiplayer is not the same as cooperative

[random bear]

@dark pewter thank you!

[dark pewter]

there is no 'magic' skill like 'hunting' in the game

[mossy moth]

@dark pewter is this the google doc you were talking about? I cannot find it

[dark pewter]

its in the pinned messages of this channel

[mossy moth]

thanks!

[solid veldt]

No flying carpets F aladin

[errant pagoda]

Its an MMO, I imagine internet is needed and no local

[rotund lark]

well time to plan and build my own howls moving castle then XD

[errant pagoda]

I still can't watch that movie, too many feels for robin williams.

[vagrant tendon]

Question for the team: If housing is based around nearby village(s), do different villages have different architectures available for construction? At the same time, how varied is the world's architecture going to be? Can we expect steampunk in rare places? All medieval european? Different fantasy styles (floating islands?)?

[opaque pivot]

Is the team answering question

[rotund lark]

https://tenor.com/view/howls-moving-castle-castle-moving-ghibli-gif-8855558

[dark pewter]

its been said that theres currently no private servers/sessions, but there are filters in place to where if you dont want to see a specific player, you will not.

[solid veldt]

Man there is a singing blue will smith on the movie. Who is robie williams lol

[dark pewter]

currently myself and a few others are, i think devs are away right now

[torpid hawk]

I wonder if it would be possible to become a merchant, like buying/selling things in different places of the world in different prices. Something like local(village) market, when there would be a shortage of things so the prices would soar.

[wanton badge]

Son every one will start in the same town ? And interact with each other ?

[rotund lark]

yes!

someone said it 😄

[solid veldt]

There will be exotic tech so? Lik3 vapors robots or alike? #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha

[dark pewter]

i will try to answer any questions best i can, but i can only go off what devs have said previously. there is a google doc in the pinned messages of this channel that has a lot of answers to common questions, and there is also #❔│game-faqs

[vagrant tendon]

This does beg the question of how in-depth is this filtering? FFXIV has a blacklist and friend/unfriend, but it doesn't prevent the other party from seeing you in world among other things which allows for situations like severe stalking and harrasing.

[brittle night]

Will there be a Grand Exchange type of thing?

[dark pewter]

this is the closes thing i can find that is said on that subject, sorry :/

[dark pewter]

they said they have a unique way to go about it, but they are not giving details at this time

[errant pagoda]

I would guess alpha will help build depth to the anti griefing systems.

[dark pewter]

#bringGEtoPalia

[torpid hawk]

nice!

[vagrant tendon]

That's okay! It tells me that they care, so I wouldn't be surprised if they already have it. If not, I can certainly try to remember. ❤️

[brittle night]

Are there any details on mining?

[rotund lark]

ugh greifers :/... in star citizen theres plenty of them LOL!

[gentle crescent]

Player marriages?

[dark pewter]

no details on any skills at this time

[dark pewter]

marriage is not in game currently, but it is planned

[brittle night]

I am so excited!

[remote sleet]

It makes me wonder
In skyrim you can have different houses that have different perks to them

In Palia, would the land plots change due to different villages?

or maybe even you'll be able to grow different crops from different regions?

(im still learning more about the game as i JUST saw it like an hour ago) 😅

[rotund lark]

no i mean no i dont know XD but i wish it is . trade fish , veg, weapons, anything

[dark pewter]

'spouses and children could come later'

[wanton badge]

how they pretend to keep people playing with out getting borred ?animal crossing , stardew valley , harvest moon etc are great games but only for a short period of time .

[dark pewter]

nothing confirmed on player owned/ran shops, but i absolutely love the idea

[rotund lark]

WAIT WHAT !!!??? have Children !!! Woah

[errant pagoda]

@wanton badge its the challenge of any mmo, I am sure they have an idea.

[wanton badge]

That’s the principal challenge

[dark pewter]

every game is different, and only time will tell what their plans are

[mossy moth]

@wanton badge depends on how you are playing: if you are a roleplay gamer, it have no end. In harvest moon, it take so long to achieve something , that keep you in the game for a long time.

[torpid hawk]

oh yeah, it would be great if you could supply food for regions that don't have much food, because their main resources are like metal or weapons. it'd make food pricy there, but other resources not so much haha

[solid veldt]

Cat competition

[fierce prairie]

i wonder after this releases with all the foretold content said have achieved, what would be the the game's progressive goal or roadmap? seems like sim world has their own expiration date, what would the game bring in the future to encourage people to play ?

[wanton badge]

^^^^^^

[errant pagoda]

Well the progression of the original final fantasy was to go to the moon and defeat Garland... Palia on the moon 2030?

[dark pewter]

yes they are planned!

[wanton badge]

@fierce prairie THATS EXACTlY my question

[lethal compass]

What’s one interesting challenge that the team didn’t expect to be faced with?

[errant pagoda]

Since the game's alpha isnt out as of yet, I don't think an answer to those questions exist yet

[dark pewter]

long term playability is difficult for any game, most likely it will take form in expansions to the story or released dungeons

[rigid relic]

More places to explore, skills to learn and things to build?

[modern knot]

Hello! Does anyone know if there's going to be region lock?

[rigid relic]

Story progression

[hard iris]

17,000 discord sign ups on day 1 😮

[fierce prairie]

@little marlin hello senior bourbon, how are you?

[dark pewter]

characters are not server locked, some cross region will be unavailable to keep the network performance up

[errant pagoda]

@hard iris Just shows you how excited we are, and the trailer shows us how much promise your game has ^^

[cunning jewel]

So I heard some ex-blizzard devs are in on the development of this game? If true I’m really passionate about this mmo.

[remote plume]

Were there any plans on allowing players to marry each other and not just npcs?

[dark pewter]

blizzard, riot, and many others!

[haughty oxide]

What about season changing?

[dark pewter]

no specifics but marriage is in the plan

[fluid vine]

Hy there, so what I gathered so far is that combat is completely optional which is great. But is there a viable PVE path in thus Game? In the form of Dungeons and bosses?

[fierce prairie]

if im right, i saw that you'll focus on the game to become non pressure to adventure? i wonder is the answer for that will be focus on "guild/community/palace/village/neighbourhood" content?

[dark pewter]

nothing stops two players from holding their own wedding, really

[errant pagoda]

Blizzard, Epic, Zygna, Riot, and other many companies, it is very diverse.

[native palm]

Wonder how many characters you will be able to have?

[little marlin]

Hey man, doing good. Nice name 🙂

[shrewd tinsel]

Well there be oceanic servers?, we need love too..

[solid veldt]

Hype. Gimme prealpha acess papa

[still frigate]

Do you have relative comparison between the world size of Palia compared to currently unlocked regions of Genshin Impact?

[dark pewter]

dungeons are, yes. im not sure about bosses, but most likely!

[remote plume]

With the houses and everything would love to see how an ingame system could work out. Shared house? Divorce? Split the belongings?

[quasi hawk]

Hello. Question was probably already asked, but do you have an items crafting system planned? Thanks.

[fierce prairie]

@little marlin hey thaanks, you have a nice name as well 😉 Cheers man.

[cunning jewel]

Are you guys gonna plan any blizzard like micro transactions? I’m not opposed to it but it does seem to be a big problem with mmos?

[dark pewter]

the only thing thats been said is smaller than BOTW with plans to expand as they go

[rose linden]

Saw a hint at a tamer/hunter class... a fella with a quiver and a very good boi by hiis side. Is a taming class going to be a thing,?

[fluid vine]

Sounds great thanks dir the Info

[dark pewter]

yes, there will be crafting

[remote plume]

It’s not a problem if it’s not a triple monetization system.

[unreal gyro]

How many people do you think you guys will be picking and what date would you think messages will go out @regal pumice ?

[dark pewter]

there are no classes, hunting is a skill though!

[quartz hollow]

how about ranching? any farm animals?

[still frigate]

i have not owned any Nintendo console since the Gameboy, so that sadly doesn't help me out much

[rose linden]

Is taming a skilll though?? OH mounts! can we tame/have mounts?

[dark pewter]

unfortunately, i myself dont know the size of the botw map :/

[errant pagoda]

pre alpha, just the one apparently according to the google doc, but the plan is to support multiple characters

[lament token]

I must ask, but Im sure such a question has been asked before in this day and age of MMOs, What is the likelihood that an ingame shop will be added.

[lethal compass]

Hopefully I won’t get in trouble for asking a second question, this game has me hyped 🤗 what has been your favorite thing about working on this game?

[dark pewter]

mounts are planned! im not sure on the taming system

[dark pewter]

no monetization is being discussed publicly at this time

[west burrow]

will skills be lvl bassed? for example you need to have 20 mining to mine certain ores? and since there is farming and hunting is there a food system where you have to eat in order to not die?

[native palm]

Ty for answering my question RomanceBlitz

[lament token]

Thank you, I can only hope such discussion is kept to a minimum.

[wanton badge]

U can see other ppl houses ? I mean your house will be in the same place ?

[solid veldt]

Triple monetization is really tough. Think skin like is pretty viable if the game is good but dont mind b2p plus skins, however mensal payment is totaly of for me. WoW was enough.

[dark pewter]

i believe homes within a neighborhood(guild) will be viewable by all those inside, not 100% sure though

[remote plume]

2 monetization systems is already a lot, 3 is too much of a pain

[solid veldt]

Agree.

[wanton badge]

This game will be f2p?

[pale dagger]

Will items Item like fishing rods or woodcutting axes break/degrade over time when used?

[rose linden]

Would you all pat each other on the back for getting me excited about mmo gaming again? The sample footage is GORGEOUS. The thought of a game where I can just putter around and do my own thing has me soo hype. (speaking as someone who leveled from 90-110 in WoW by herbing and exploration only)

[solid veldt]

Noinfo yet

[dark pewter]

it is not being said publicly yet

[solid veldt]

I fear this kind of man. Lol

[rose linden]

Why though?

[dark pewter]

be sure to check out the #❔│game-faqs channel and also the pinned google doc in this channel for various answers to common questions taken throughout the day!

[solid veldt]

To much patience. You can conquest the world if you want lol

[dark pewter]

patience is a virtue :)

[solid veldt]

Vice and virtue are humans comcepts

[vocal current]

Can I have a pet cat in game? Can I name him?

[solid veldt]

The one concept i know is smashing xD

[rose linden]

I might be able to conquer the world, but picking flowers leaves one not optimised for raiding or most other group content. ♥

[regal pumice]

Well most of us are still remote because of the parallelogram. But I'll make sure to pat everyone's back with zero context once we're back in the office.

[dark pewter]

parallelogram...

[errant pagoda]

Thats a tongue twister right there...

[dark pewter]

it took me 3 attempts to spell it right even though i was looking at it!

[humble grove]

How free am I to choose what i do, I kinda always wanted to open a brewery in a game

[rose linden]

Okay, now I want to challlenge you to get the weirdest look you can. I made myself laugh with the thought of you patting someone and "You smell differetn when you're awake"

[solid veldt]

lol

[errant pagoda]

Just dont sell to minors, or the Home Owner Association will send in John Cena to kick the door down...

[regal pumice]

I'm not sure if it's the lack of sleep, but this sounds like a challenge I need to take.

[rose linden]

Yasss!

[solid veldt]

We will can do social partys with music food and stuff? Will be open mic? Love games with open mics xD #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha

[humble grove]

lol fair enough. but i have always loved crafting in games but it never seems to be a viable full time thing. so brewery has been my long held dream in a MMO

[wanton badge]

What…?

[tawdry heron]

will u add russian localization in game?

[dark pewter]

the bot is a bit heavy handed :/

[chrome abyss]

This game looks very interesting but i’ll most likely play it solo. How important gathering will be? İ mean, if i only focus on one thing like gathering, will i able to sell the mats and make money from that? For example a system like Albion. Or is this game designed only for group play and can’t effectively playable as a solo player?

[errant pagoda]

Bots can be wierd Ballache, perhaps the same word in repeat is triggering it, its happened a few times now

[wary folio]

@tawdry heron ну полную локализацию не факт, но нам бы и интерфейса с текстом хватило, думаю

[dark pewter]

the game is more than enjoyable solo, go wild. its a 'great solo, better together' model

[errant pagoda]

It depends on the level of customization, I do hope for much to do with crafting/manufactoring/business side.

[solid veldt]

Vodka putin moscow

xD joking

[wary folio]

@solid veldt vodka it is, yep

[rose linden]

Oooh.. Will y'all be llooking for nmoderators/etc after going live?

[tawdry heron]

@wary folio ну чисто текста хватило бы, да. аудио не так важно

[dark pewter]

i think wayyyy earlier they said not currently, but its possible

[solid veldt]

Whem will have a gameplay live?

[wanton badge]

I hope this game is 100% multiplayer and no a genshing co-op thing

[solid veldt]

Same

[dark pewter]

the earliest youd see it is if you get into pre-alpha in 'a few weeks'

[rose linden]

Thank you for responding ♥ So many typos because excitement.

[errant pagoda]

With an NDA being a thing, I would think after the NDA is over which is Beta at the earliest I would think?

[wanton badge]

I hate session based games is so boring ….

[tawdry heron]

bears, balalaika XD @solid veldt

[solid veldt]

Hoppimg i will get it

[hollow nimbus]

Is there going to be a guild system?

[wary folio]

Is this gonna have a level system or is this just like animal crossing/housing type deal 👀

[dark pewter]

ye, NDA, just gotta get in to the testing :)

i really hope i get in haha im very excited to try things out

[errant pagoda]

They call them neighbourhoods but something like that is gonna exist

[hearty swan]

what dose palia closet compare to gameplay wise?

[solid veldt]

Teferi.. 100% magic player and azorious players

[hollow nimbus]

Nice!

[chrome abyss]

Will there be marketplace or auction house for people to sell materials, furniture etc. to other players?

[wary folio]

Find me there when we both get pre-alpha access. I will help u with vodka balalaika thing

[solid veldt]

There will be politician stuff? Like mayors amd else

[dark pewter]

my best guess would be stardew valley and the sims based on the trailer itself

[errant pagoda]

They havent really gone into details just yet, but some player trading functions will exist

[solid veldt]

Sure man i will makw a Baile Funk with a lot of vodka haha

[chrome abyss]

Nice, thx for answer.

[wary folio]

[tawdry heron]

not only azorius) but its one of my favorite guild)

[chrome abyss]

İ missed that while checking out the website. Thanks.

[dark pewter]

its a google document in the pinned messages of this channel

[errant pagoda]

its in the pinned section possum, a link to a google doc

[exotic knot]

So the website said humans are poweful in magic, does that mean we ll be able to do magic?

[solid veldt]

TEFERI its the seventh turn in a row you show nexus of fate in the class. Haha miss that

[buoyant portal]

Just wondering if anyone knows if fishing is confirmed.

[dark pewter]

not revealed, but they said theres no 'magic' skill

[dark pewter]

fishing is confirmed! and its more than just cast and RNG

[buoyant portal]

Oh that sounds lovely.

[solid veldt]

Very lovely

[wary folio]

Wanna do some magic, alchemy will be good too. Wanna sell portals

[dark pewter]

i wanna sell potions!

[wary folio]

Me too!

[solid veldt]

Magic is Just a tech to high to compreend

[exotic knot]

sadge. Any ideas om combat yet?

[errant pagoda]

Progression? Even though we're trying to avoid the typical grind of MMOs, you'll have lots of bars to fill up and levels to grind, yes

Perhaps magic will have its own version, nothing is really known

[wary folio]

Then ill be an engineer-alchemist

[dark pewter]

pve combat is there, and theres a lot of it. its not mandatory, so you can skip it entirely if youd rather not fight. ther is no pvp, but it could come in the future in small ways

[solid veldt]

Laser shooting robots. You can call it magic

[dark pewter]

'if you live your life without science, then your whole life will feel like magic'

[wary folio]

My own geese-robots that will bite everyone in the woods in cities, woohoo

[wanton badge]

I think the alpha will be a hype maker or game killer , That trailer give me a lot of questions, especially with what they're going to do to make the game long-lasting and not leave it in 3 months because there's nothing else to do that build one farm pick corn, tomato , etc to sell them to buy a new chair and repeat the cycle

[errant pagoda]

Just create Chainsaw, shotgun earrings, with laser sights and cup holders...

[eager thunder]

Any idea if this will be available on consoles as well as pc????

[errant pagoda]

many platforms, specifics unknown

[dark pewter]

pc is the start, consoles will be later on, no confirmed dates

[solid veldt]

Profession skill are core in mmo, in this mote than ever, certainly will be a pharmacist o alchemist or alike

[cloud hollow]

believe they siad every platform i nthe trailer, not sure though

[hearty swan]

whats the group size looking to be around?

[proper walrus]

Well I was just about to ask about pve... if it was a thing. Since it is... Another one! Is there any plans for group pve content (Dungeons or even open world things you need to team up to do) ? or would it be more so killing things to get mats to make things? 😮

[ancient scroll]

Hi, when is the pre-alpha coming out

[dark pewter]

currently a party size is 4

[wary folio]

I guess we gotta create an alchemists guild

[proper walrus]

Not hardcore content just group

[dark pewter]

dungeons are in the plans, open world events have not been talked about as far as ive seen

[errant pagoda]

Group will be easier, but its supposely soloable

[proper walrus]

Cool beanies

[eager thunder]

Omg I’m so excited Will it be controller friendly on pc? Due to hang issues I can’t play w mouse n keyboard

Hand* my bad

[solid veldt]

How i got a tag? I want a tag =/

[errant pagoda]

Much of the open world activities do not explicitly require a party. Parties make certain things easier but you can still play most of the game just hanging out on voice

[dark pewter]

a tag? what tag?

[solid veldt]

Any tag

[rigid relic]

#📃│server-directory

[dark pewter]

you mean a role? #📃│server-directory

[wary folio]

Yooo i dont wanna just sell potions, i wanna throw potions in pve......

[runic notch]

No word on when but controller support is a must have for some of us on the dev team too

[proper walrus]

HAHA

[dark pewter]

ahh ive been looking for that answer lol

[solid veldt]

What os ze/zir? Lol

[proper walrus]

New class... Al-Chemist

[dark pewter]

pronouns that some people choose to use

[errant pagoda]

Controller support I imagine would help when it comes time for cross play/consoles @runic notch

[wary folio]

Beer for the charge cough-cough

[solid veldt]

No class is ancient egipty design

Future have no class

[raven dagger]

potentially ridiculous question but - any way this becomes an esport? I have no idea how but it would be dope xD

[errant pagoda]

Oh god thats a question lol

[wary folio]

Palia cart tournament

[errant pagoda]

Horse Race Tournament lets go?

[raven dagger]

I'm a caster, I have to ask this LMAO

[unreal gyro]

nah which ever guild can take out a dungeon faster

[solid veldt]

There is no ridiculus question. Ridiculusis do not ask.

[errant pagoda]

Maybe some kind of Palia MDI?

[proper walrus]

I hear caster I think a mmo caster XD

[raven dagger]

LOL valid

[solid veldt]

Palia pokemon tournament?

[plucky jungle]

if i could ask, what are the capabilities regarding gameplay we can do? otherthan i see farming/mining

[dark pewter]

no idea how that would work in this type of game, but it would be an interesting thing haha

[unreal gyro]

a esports focused on the best team that can defeat a dungeon

[wary folio]

Do we need crossbows for alchemists because i want it

[raven dagger]

I mean WoW has an esports scene for both dungeons and pvp

[errant pagoda]

Maybe Palia has its own card game built in, like FF8 Triple Triad or Gwent >>

[raven dagger]

I doubt there will be pvp here I guess? but dungeons, let's go

[wanton badge]

@raven dagger wow pvp is ded

[dark pewter]

theres various skills such as cooking and fishing too, theres pve combat, and from what ive seen its mostly a social chill aspect. building and gathering, dungeons, pve combat

[solid veldt]

I just want wear metal plates on my archers/mage

[winged moth]

Can I ask what type of multiplayer Palia has? Is it like a server like minecraft, or is it hosted locally, or is it dedicated servers hosted by the devs, how does it work?

[dark pewter]

i said pve combat twice...

[tall venture]

Palia fishing esports let's goooo

[dark pewter]

im way too tired lol

[wary folio]

I will sell poisons for weapons woohoo

[errant pagoda]

xD Fishing tournament could be cool

[dark pewter]

not a lot is being said about servers at this time, but it seems to be implied region dedicated servers

[eager thunder]

I’m so excited or this game omg 😭😭😭 I gotta go to sleep or I’ll stay up all night talking about this. Goodnight all

[solid veldt]

Gona go too, 3:43 am here. Good night all

[wanton badge]

No answer about that yet , I have the same question

[wary folio]

Good night yall!!!!

[proper walrus]

I just want to know if I can become a master blacksmith warrior who crushes my foes with my smelting hammer

[errant pagoda]

Lol silly bot -_- twas a legitimate name, but oh wells.

[proper walrus]

Or well crafting hammer... dont think you use hammers to smelt but sounds cool :p

[solid veldt]

Violence is not the awnser man. Its a question and the awnser is yes. Kkkkkkk

[wanton badge]

Doubt looks like a chill game to make farms

[wary folio]

We need master blacksmith warrior for sure

[errant pagoda]

Im sure you could hammer something into oblivion lol, its just optional 😛

[proper walrus]

Well they said pve is a thing just not required

[wanton badge]

I don’t think the pve will be a challenge I this Game xd

[tawdry heron]

which age limit will be in the game?

[proper walrus]

I would love that tho like if you have hammer weapons, they could be used for crafting OR bashing somethings head

[wary folio]

A deer e.g

[dark pewter]

theyre aiming for E rating, no age limit has actually been stated

[errant pagoda]

As in character creation or recommended to play @tawdry heron

[solid veldt]

The azorious guy and his proibitions. Tipic

[runic notch]

Answer to this can vary by country, we'll have more info at a later date, sorry

[solid veldt]

Hahaha

[errant pagoda]

Different regions have their own classifications as well, something to consider.

[wary folio]

Судя по графе и общему настроению игры - 6+

[tawdry heron]

thank you

[tawdry heron]

nah no problem

[native palm]

my question is, Lets say one person is building their house right? and they need the materials but unfortunately they don't have the time can they offer them rewards for doing it for them?

[solid veldt]

By what the game proposing probably no age limit i think

[wanton badge]

I you can have a wife and child’s I think this will be a esbr : Teen so 12+

[solid veldt]

Well, i see 3 years child playing mariage with dools, so no big doing

[dark pewter]

unfortunately it is time for me to sleep, im sooo tired lol will be back tomorrow to answer questions if i can o/

yall behave yourselves and be sure to check the google doc pinned in this channel! its useful!

[wary folio]

Byyye

[wanton badge]

Yeah that’s right but the creation of kids is a lil different

[tawdry heron]

XD

[errant pagoda]

Valids points on both sides lol, Romance options of npc's being a thing, rating could change because of such things. Though different regions have their own classifications again

[true spoke]

What type of combat the game will be proposing ? More like a WoW stand and hit combat or a fancy super active BDO-style combat ?

[proper walrus]

Wait... theres gonna be romance in the game? o.o

[solid veldt]

No one says sons. Calma lá patrão

[errant pagoda]

unknown at this point, though my hopes is like TERA.

[true spoke]

TERA-like combat would be fire !!

[wanton badge]

They said We can have kids in the future

[charred dagger]

Will Human be the only race we can create in the game?

[true spoke]

Yes

[wanton badge]

Yes

[tall venture]

So far yes, though I don't think more playable races in the future are out of the question

[solid veldt]

Hum... in that case probably 12 so

[proper walrus]

Robot race when, where to have a child you must build it

[errant pagoda]

Dinner calls I shall return (Oceanic time zone so its not super late ^_-)

[charred dagger]

Thanks

[solid veldt]

Lol

[shrewd tinsel]

Well there be oceanic servers?, we need love too.

[wanton badge]

Only pve and only 4 party members so don’t expect a BIG raids or dungeons

[charred dagger]

Will there be South America servers?

[solid veldt]

Baile Funk 1. I will be there

[fiery stirrup]

come to Brazil 🇧🇷

[proper walrus]

I just wonder how the housing will be...

if instanced then we good if not oh no

[charred dagger]

quê? haha

[tawdry heron]

will be something like guilds or clans in the game?

[solid veldt]

Queijo Kappa

[wanton badge]

Im sure we will have a prebuilt base houses , like animal crossing

[fiery stirrup]

neighborhood system

[tall venture]

There was talk of "neighborhoods" which is that ^

[silver cairn]

Can you buy/sell/create/collect housing items?

[wanton badge]

I think they said yes

[tawdry heron]

neighborhood system?

[wanton badge]

Like a guild system

[solid veldt]

Like guilds maybe

[silver cairn]

So a bit like wildstar was

[tawdry heron]

yeah, ok thank you

[charred dagger]

Will I be able to be the moody lonely girl who lives in the woods or I need to have a house in a village?

[wanton badge]

I think u can sell what u hunt/make/bake/Harvest/ fishing

[gleaming hornet]

Hello! I got a little question, will it be Pay 2 Play, Pay 2 Keep or Free to Play ?

[solid veldt]

My neighborhood will be named Morro do Dendê, who wana join is invited. There will be safiest place on palia

[wanton badge]

No one knows yet

[runic notch]

Your housing isn't crowded by other peeps... unless you invite them over?

[tawdry heron]

yeah, i think, there will be something like auction store for selling and buy for players

[shrewd tinsel]

Well there be oceanic servers?, i need to know

[silver cairn]

Yes but how do you make a candle for example, can you find stuff like that from drops or in the open or something, you can’t probably craft everything

[wanton badge]

Sooo… it will be a session based multiplayer ??

[lusty bridge]

really excited for this game hopefully it won't be filled my mico-tran

[charred dagger]

So we can build houses wherever we want?

[solid veldt]

O pre alpha probably not but they are planing to expand

[shrewd tinsel]

fair for pre alpha but i need to know in the long run

[native palm]

what about my question from earlier?

[wanton badge]

I don’t think so

[dark pewter]

I can't stay away apparently

[torn pier]

where do we access this?

[neat mortar]

So, player housing? 👀 Looks similar to SWG player housing with placement of individual items?

[dark pewter]

Pinned messages, the google doc

[warm hemlock]

Will there be raids, in this game or is it more focused on farming etc?

[wanton badge]

I'm sure that the game will only have generic pre-established places to put houses

[wanton badge]

The option 2

[errant pagoda]

Nothing on the scale of raids so far has been mentioned, content involving groups for 4 is said to exist

[native palm]

my only concern on this with the player housing is what you suggested build houses anywhere but what i think they will do like they said is your earn it through a questline. If the questline is hard then the player deserves it but if its to easy then it will feel like they are giving us the house for free.

[visual mirage]

Is housing something we have a lot of plots to pick from and progress? Is there the possibility to move plots once we start building?

[native palm]

and if you want the house in a different area you have to work for it

like a special thing ya know?

[manic sparrow]

What is the monetization of this game?

[wanton badge]

This game is not going to be difficult.

[daring sparrow]

Is the game your creating closer to animal crossing or stardew, if stardew how are you going to have the drive to get better gear and relationships in the way stardew does

[errant pagoda]

unknown

[dark pewter]

It's is not publicly said for now

[visual mirage]

Frankly, if they have a nice daily set of tasks to achieve itll be a nice way to come home and relax. Much like I do with a daily grind with genshin. Its something i geniunely enjoy

[manic sparrow]

ok thx

[runic notch]

Challenge accepted

[errant pagoda]

Ahahaha

[wanton badge]

Hope so

[native palm]

My only thing i ask is if they are doing something similar to how furniture is with how star wars the old republic does strongholds?

[visual mirage]

The question is grind or narrative challenge hehe. Both are fun

[errant pagoda]

Depends on what you consider difficult :P, the most difficult thing sometimes is going up to another person and saying hello

[runic notch]

We'll have stuff for you to sink your teeth into 😉

[wanton badge]

Im@sure it will be grind

[visual mirage]

Well, to a degree, all games are grind. Its just a question of how and if its fun haha

[sudden agate]

Are there any details of Neighborhoods so we can start preparing our guilds?

[errant pagoda]

I would love to grind some beans into a machine and make some coffee or hot chocolate for folks

[dark pewter]

Time to turn it into dark souls

[proper walrus]

I know it may be a minor thing to some but since theres combat, why not relic/artofact tools/weapons so like if you are a blacksmith assuming thatas a thing, you can grind to get a cool cosmetic glam/trasmog for your hammers/weapons 😮

[visual mirage]

Frankly, I was interested in being a lumberjack hehe.

[native palm]

I think thats to challenging

[wanton badge]

Not all grinds are fun but when is fun is good

[manic sparrow]

can you marry in this game ?

[runic notch]

A small portion of the game could be dark souls 🤷‍♂️

[proper walrus]

HAHa

[dark pewter]

Little a dark souls, as a treat

[visual mirage]

Aye, I think as far as fun grinds, I love providing materials. Im both a builder and a gatherer. In ark Id spend weeks gathering materials to build castles and LOVED it.

[runic notch]

YOu tHink CHapaa CuTe NOW?!

[tall venture]

I think romancing is definitely an option, though not sure about marriage

[wanton badge]

That one where you take the soul of your enemies ? That will be great hahaha

[proper walrus]

Busco gonna go to the other devs and be like "hey lets make a fight thats really hard just for fun and see how long it takes people to beat it"

[tender siren]

Hey!
Interested in doing a few fan things, is there any sort of official character concept sheets out at the moment?

[visual mirage]

Who is chappa, what am I missing?

[tall venture]

yes

[errant pagoda]

unfortunately not, just that they exist and you can create your own and invite whomever you wish

[sudden agate]

Ok thank you

[dark pewter]

chapaa

[visual mirage]

Chappa is dog?

[native palm]

as long as its not a pointless grind like wow rep grinds then they suddenly get rid of it...

[dark pewter]

Chapaa is chapaa

[tall venture]

[fresh wing]

I saw somewhere that you guys plan on making the game more PvE focused and that you plan on adding dungeons later down the like but the game will have a big open world to explore from the beginning, Is there any plans to add something similar to world bosses to go out and hunt with your neighborhood (maybe like a rare tiger or something that will give you some loot)

[visual mirage]

AHHH! So sorta like wombats in a way? Adorable

[wanton badge]

Nope is a ugly npc that collet your home rent

[valid stirrup]

@runic notch Will there be rp servers, aswell as regular servers? Or just both

[steep lodge]

Beside being a mmo game, will it offer enough experience for players that are more into loner vibes?

[errant pagoda]

From what is on the Google doc, much of it is soloable

[visual mirage]

They did say it can be progressed alone. THough I was curious whether soloists could essentially live alone in a instance, without neighbors?

[wary folio]

im back and i saw Dark Souls messages

yes we want to suffer in pve please please please we want challenges

[runic notch]

Players will be able to self organize more, you aren't tied down to a specific server

[native palm]

like he said earlier its probably going to be its on space like seperate but looking like its their? for the houses

[valid stirrup]

Got it 😄

[errant pagoda]

Certainly there could be RP of being a hermit and doing a great deal solo, could make a good series.

[native palm]

what pulling a master roshi?

[manic sparrow]

will you be able to tame animals and fight with them ?

[runic notch]

All of our gathering skills will have rare stuff

[wanton badge]

I can be a fisher / hunter ? @runic notch

[errant pagoda]

He has a turtle with him, he is never alone

[proper walrus]

So instanced group housing if you want to do that, like everyone gets a house to do things with and it looks like a neighborhood most likely

[native palm]

But in the show some people called him a hermit lol

[errant pagoda]

How rare? Black Lotus Rare? Stupidly expensive Charizard Trading card rare?

[candid wagon]

Will there be chickens, or a Palia equivalent, to raise?

[proper walrus]

Pfft

[pure cobalt]

Which game engine is used?

[wanton badge]

Cheap GPU RARE ??!

[fresh wing]

@runic notch Wow, more than what i was expecting thanks, cant wait

[hoary heath]

Are you planning on including animal husbandry as a way to get resources?

[native palm]

probably raising Chapaa's

[visual mirage]

AH, I see, Im reading. So you will always live in a instance, so youll always have people around. How you collaborate is more or less up to you. Am I close Busco?

[dark pewter]

Unreal 4

[barren crescent]

Will there be alchemy? Like picking berry's, and finding ingredients to make stuff?

[fresh wing]

^^

[wary folio]

wondering if we can raise our own Chapaas and make them our guardians in pve

[runic notch]

Can't expand beyond the skills that were announced, sorry

[candid wagon]

Chapaas are cute, but they are little furry squirrely things, not pudgy birbs

[midnight nexus]

That sounds so cool! I remember other games where I always had the problem that my friends were all playing in different servers. Thanks for considering this

[wanton badge]

There a energy system ? Like u need food or water to cut trees ?

[fringe widget]

@runic notch Hello, dev team, will there be a rather broad approach surfacely on the differents things you can do in game, or will there like more indeph things you will be able to do like logging, mineing, cooking, fishing. etc etc etc,

[barren crescent]

Also what will the weather changes be like?

[runic notch]

You won't be stopped cutting down trees by stamina or similar no. We had it, hated it, its gone from the game

[proper walrus]

HAHA

[native palm]

but even if they are servers bear, will their be a cross server playing and on the subject cross platform???

[errant pagoda]

No running to a hot spring to recoup energy then.

[dark pewter]

Is there tool durability? I haven't seen that answer

[half lily]

I'm so hoping for Palia to be a huge success. I have longed for an MMO that captured what they were between 2004 - 2012.

[candid wagon]

That's nice to hear, stamina limits always give me anxiety

[native palm]

same that was the best time :)

[visual mirage]

I was curious, when your testing goes live, will you be having people do qa, or are they more stress tests and general engine tests to catch bugs? I did a bunch of QA testing with Blizzard back in the day pre release on WoW. Good times. That being said, everyone company approaches it differently.

[vast gazelle]

How many players will be on a server/session?

[wanton badge]

Great ! , that being said , I can craft food ? And if u can craft food what’s will be the use ??

[honest ruin]

Are you able to play different races? (might have missed that in the trailer)

[native palm]

depending on the testing i was invited to playtest for blizzard its interesting how they do it

[wanton badge]

No only jumaba

[proper walrus]

Likely buffs for food since thats generally how mmos handle food

[wanton badge]

Humans***

[bold stratus]

Apologizes if already asked, but, When can we see some sort of gameplay? Are we gonna see some gameplay before open alpha?

[errant pagoda]

Elves are a thing in progress too apparently (According to the doc)

[wary folio]

Can i overbuff @proper walrus with food and potions so he will be smashing everything in pve? 👉 👈

[visual mirage]

You were a playtester too Bloodwidow? Ha, I came a bit before that stage. I was more or less given tasks to see what broke. Ha, man I broke everything it seemed.

[proper walrus]

With my mighty smithies hammer!

[runic notch]

We want you guys to focus on having as much fun as possible and give us feedback on what works and what doesn't. Its still preAlpha so we're looking to the community to help us prioritize stuff. That said, reporting bugs helps us out a lot 😄 We have a great QA team that will triage anything you guys find.

[drifting anvil]

I don't have any questions atm but just want to say ur doing amazing Busco thank you for answering all these late night inquiries

[honest ruin]

How much customization can you apply to your plot of land? Also it a fixed size or can you make it expand?

[errant pagoda]

As with any Alpha, prepare the Duck Tape, Bugs hate duck tape..

[native palm]

ya what we did is we did all the wqs since they never told us what to do so when it comes out we can be ahead and instances were locked to 1 person.

[wanton badge]

I think the answer is ALOT

[proper walrus]

So basically trying to break the game, good to know :3

[wary folio]

@proper walrus imagine smashing smth with this

[proper walrus]

I want that

[dark pewter]

Put me in coach, I'll break it all

[honest ruin]

So if I want to have a pond next to my swimmingpool so I can fish while floating around that is possible?

[proper walrus]

I want a smithy hammer to be both a weapon and a tool

[wary folio]

hope i dont get banned for WoW pics sorry

[half lily]

Signed up this morning as soon as I saw the tweet! 🤞 that I have the opportunity to play!

[errant pagoda]

More you try to break the game in the alpha, more sturdier it will become @proper walrus

[fringe widget]

@runic notch i have one last question do you have a rather minigame approach to the "craft professions" you do in game. or rather like click and and auto craft? just a question to see in wich direction you wanna take the game

[visual mirage]

@runic notch Thats fantastic. Im glad you have a good QA team. It takes some dedicated people to be good QA testers 😄 I did it 8 years for various companies. Good memories. I cant wait to give my input with the play tests.

[native palm]

so what wield a lvl 1 weapon?

[wary folio]

im looking forward to wield a lvl 1 weapon

[runic notch]

Lips are sealed on this one but you won't have to wait long to find out

[mossy stump]

Will the game be free or will it be something like pay 2 play?

[native palm]

^

[wet stirrup]

@mossy stump my dying question

[fringe widget]

😉

[vast gazelle]

One time purchase please 🙏

[wet stirrup]

Club Penguin models or WoW models, or something else UwU

[wanton badge]

No info about that yet

[proper walrus]

Nah, just make all hammers both a smithing tool AND a weapon, they could honestly do that if they wanted for some, like an axe, scythe, ect would be cool, dual purpose things

[manic horizon]

@runic notch what is the player count / spread going to be?

Are you instancing every area with 10-20 players, or are you looking at 100 players in a hub with housing and the like being sharded?

Ie, how empty will the game world be

[rare meadow]

I know you've mentioned the expected system requirements aren't high - but how important is performance and optimization in the pre-alpha stages? Will you be collecting telemetry on individual user performance or will it be on the community to report?

[wanton badge]

U can have big farm animals ? Like sheep’s and cows?

[slow thorn]

I don't see a problem with cosmetic stuff so that the team can continue to make money. Money that goes towards what they do.

[glad carbon]

Second this question. Will there be truly big open world? Or more of instances with 10 players...

[wary folio]

i hope we will have like 10 servers with hundreds of players on them 👉 👈

[manic horizon]

Its the biggest issue I have with "MMOs" when they shard 10 player areas..

And the areas are huge

[vast gazelle]

Mean't no sub like WoW.

[proper walrus]

It'd be really odd to make an mmo with 10 players as a limit...

[wanton badge]

I want the same

[sly ravine]

Devs, “Do you need a coffee refill?”, this is some serious business you plan to pull off here

[proper walrus]

So im sure it wont be 10 as the limit

[random gulch]

Did they mention how soon they'll be starting the pre-alpha?

[errant pagoda]

considering 17k people have joined the discord on day 1, somehow i think the servers are gonna have to be sizeable at this rate 😛

[finite folio]

Actually, I have a question. What should we expect here?

[tall venture]

Soon™️

[manic horizon]

10 is an example, but its how some developers work with the amount of players.

[wary folio]

i can already see these 400ppl queues

[runic notch]

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

[wanton badge]

I want farm animals, like go to the Forrest and get a few sheeps or wild horse or wild cows

[proper walrus]

Layering then? Least I think thats what layering is in mmos

Not sure tbh

[fringe widget]

@runic notch ah, i have another question, the world is set in a high fantasy world right?. will you be able to hunt down "more Mythical" creatures that are dangerous?

[honest ruin]

If I want to punch my friends in the game is that an option? Asking for a guy that likes punching his friends in game.

[native palm]

You mean like stormwind/ogrimmar but not the crowded portion?

[wanton badge]

I think is a free violence game bud

[glad carbon]

I dont envy the devs answering here. Gotta step carefully 😸

[sly ravine]

I just hope the servers aren’t like how we got treated to when Diablo3 launched

[errant pagoda]

Poor poor ironforge used to be filled with so many people lol

[native palm]

ikr

[runic notch]

What am I, a JOKE to you?

[errant pagoda]

That thing could steam roll a normal human

[fringe widget]

i mean like a big scaley lizard

[storm sapphire]

@runic notch do you know who scored the music for the trailer?

[native palm]

that really reminds me of night fae

[wary folio]

yeah i was looking forward to hunt down this deer too

[visual mirage]

So do all neighborhoods exist in the same basic area or can they form across different parts of the map. As its a MMO, I wasnt sure how story progressed and whether there were regional progression flows, such as in genshin.

[manic horizon]

That sounds like sharding, based on player count.

Are you using Loading screens then to transition between areas?

[honest ruin]

Don't you dare hunting down this majestic beast. But can we tame it?

[runic notch]

We got our own guy, he's legit!

[proper walrus]

Since theres a robot in the trailer I assume the final fantasy route of mostly high fantasy but some tech here and there... maybe cause otherwise how tf they building robots lol

[wanton badge]

I wake up and see that on my garden every day man not a fancy animal

[steep lodge]

They totally givs me Halla vibes from dragon age, I’m alrrady hooked up

[errant pagoda]

Own guy and free to stream when live hits without worry of strikes, or so the doc says

[hushed grail]

Is there an estimate on the amount of HDD/SSD the game will take to download?

[runic notch]

Pre alpha is NDA'd but the music won't be copywrited, no

[wanton badge]

I think they don’t have that answers yet Buddy

[wary folio]

oh btw @runic notch will there be a limit to professions on 1 character? you know, like in wow...

[visual mirage]

Man your doing well answering this many questions Busco, well done 😄

[native palm]

am interested in that as well

[runic notch]

probably won't be completely done with optimization when the alpha hits so bear with us on that one

[wary folio]

yaaaay thanks

[manic horizon]

Do you have current HW recommendations to run at 60fps?

[errant pagoda]

I dont think that question can be answered based on the thumbs down lol

[wanton badge]

Is unreal so it won’t be hard to run

[sly ravine]

Does the game support ultra wide monitors? @runic notch

[glad carbon]

@runic notch You probably wont answer this, but how completed the game is at the Alpha point? 40% 60% 80%?

[wanton badge]

Maybe 1060 can run it at 60 FPS

[runic notch]

I have an ultra wide and there are some UI screens we haven't scaled properly yet but the game looks fantastic

[sly ravine]

Omg so much yes

[manic horizon]

Depends on a bunch of factors there, including player count in an area and how they implement object culling

[random gulch]

Will there be incentives to doing stuff in groups compared doing things solo? I personally prefer being more social.

[proper walrus]

Wait is this the team that was called dreamheaven or is this one seperate from that? As in like if dreamhaven was the code name for the company unless they have a publisher now too cause last I heard dreamheaven was old devs, mamking an mmo and then poof palia

[orchid lily]

So ultra wide support are on the roadmap? Have an 32:9 monitor and would love it

[wanton badge]

@runic notch the game looks really nice, ray tracing is an option ?

[final gate]

Do you plan on sharing the soundtrack somehow? Like making it available stream somewhere like Spotify? I absolutely loved the music in the trailer

[honest ruin]

Is there a NPC that you can go to for tutorials and stuff? If it is not an idea yet please let it be a bear in a suit with glasses and call it Buscobear

[runic notch]

The alpha doesn't have a lot in the way of settings >_>

More info on min spec and what we'll support later, sorry

[wanton badge]

Is fine ty for the sincere answer

[manic horizon]

Are you going to block / be upset by people modifying those settings with Unreal config files?

[proper walrus]

Wonder how long before people start claiming its the newest "wow killer"

[wanton badge]

IS ALREADY THE NEW WOW KILLER

[errant pagoda]

One would think that goes against the concept of alpha testing it.

[orchid lily]

The real WoW killer is blizzard

[manic horizon]

Entirely within, if you're able to change engine parameters and it breaks, they need to know

[raven dagger]

isn't it literally a rule not to talk smack about other games? lol

[native palm]

the real wow killer is the pointless grinds they added in bfa and in shadowlands as well..

[errant pagoda]

point taken

[wanton badge]

I been playing wow for 13 years , and I leave it in this expan, blizzard is a slow murderer

[old granite]

First Person or Third Person? Or Both?

[proper walrus]

I was just making a joke how people used to say "x mmo is a wow killer" XD

[inland rover]

It sounds like the game is skill based rather than class based. Will you be able to do whatever you want on a character? Or will there be some sort of skill cap like Ultima Online?

[wary folio]

every game where devs listen to community is a wow killer tbh

[wanton badge]

3rd

[runic notch]

I really enjoyed playing through the Kyrian stuff this xpac, I also thought some of the raids were pretty fun! But as its been said we'd rather not focus on other games here.

[undone otter]

Damn Busco you still here?

[wanton badge]

FF , new world , the riot new secret mmo all wow killer xd

[proper walrus]

Wait

[hard iris]

WE LIVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS

[rotund lark]

love the skill base... ive played both wow and ffxiv. and i find ffxiv skill /jobs for single character is amazing! the only thing is that i hope in Palia you can go to a barber. makeup store and change your appearence .. 😄

[native palm]

im just excited to see if former employees of blizzard and riot can beat the current games

[quiet bobcat]

My god, there's two of them

[runic notch]

Really I'm just scrolling memes on the other tab

[proper walrus]

Where can I find the stuff they talked about like skills and such?

[frigid vortex]

Some S6 devs have ultra wide, so should be on their radar.

[errant pagoda]

#TeamNightFae, but so far, it is very promising, I give it another day before google is littered with Robot Dad Memes.

[idle lichen]

I know this mmo will not have a focus on combat if any at all but will we still be able to play around with magic and/or swords/weapons?

[wanton badge]

WHERE U BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE WIZZARDCRAB best name 2021

[hard iris]

Oh, there are definitely more than 2 🙂

[wary folio]

oh btw is there variety of achievements? like not "cut down 10000 trees", but something more rare?

[hard iris]

hi

[old granite]

Will there be World Bosses where players could all go fight?

[frigid vortex]

So, why a crab?

[rotund lark]

hei S6 just wanna asked is there a weather system in place. 😄

[wanton badge]

There a lot of devs guy behind the discord screaming : “ WE CAN ANSWERD THAT ??”

[honest ruin]

Adding to that is there a day/night cycle?

[hard iris]

Cut down 20000 trees 😉

[wary folio]

woah thats huge, cool

[rotund lark]

summer winter autumn spring

[native palm]

20,000 that's rookie numbers

[errant pagoda]

20000 Tree's are you sure we won't have the palia version of green peace knocking on our neighbourhood doors?

[proper walrus]

The hardest achievement ever in a game would be "do nothing for 24 hours"

[runic notch]

Cut down the largest tree in the forest with.... a HERRING

[tall venture]

The reward is unlocking an achievement that has you cut down 50000 trees

[honest ruin]

Can we automate stuff? So after a while you research some sort of tech or have pets that will do the cutting for you?

[undone otter]

Yeah but damn I left here past midnight and now it's 8:40, are some of you based in Europe or something or do you not sleep 😂

[wanton badge]

That’s a real MGS4 trhopie

[proper walrus]

PFFFT

[hard iris]

Trees are a very renewable resource in Palia don't worry

[fringe widget]

but trees vanish after you hack them

[native palm]

im sure they have a respawn rate lol

[proper walrus]

thb in a mmo if it has magic

[sly ravine]

My gf likes to chop trees in other games, very satisfying

[inland rover]

Is your pre-alpha test going to be under NDA? Or will it be able to be streamed?

[runic notch]

Lumberjacks are the greenest profession

[sinful rune]

Will there be a group kinda system, or maybe here on discord a place to find people with a similar interest to play with?

[solid saffron]

Are we able to dive in the water? Played a lot of games where you cannot go below the surface .. which feels a bit... weird.

[proper walrus]

it really would be. just sprinkle magical grower dust on things

[tranquil venture]

@runic notch 🌳 Can I be a forest-druid-ranger guy? 🌳

[dusk ferry]

think they said it was NDA, could be a good one for FAQ

[wary folio]

they wanted pre-alpha players to not spread a lot about gameplay so i think its NDA

[errant pagoda]

Is it? I thought it was quite a sappy one. @runic notch

[wanton badge]

Big question here , there will be seasonal events like new year , saint Valentin , Xmas etc ??

[honest ruin]

Can you make your plot look like a sort of hell?

[proper walrus]

@runic notch Will there be flying at all or is it more a boots on the ground always experience you looking to make, as in all areas are develop[ed to be seen from that pov? If thats not under NDA :p

[manic horizon]

There're gliders 😄

[errant pagoda]

You mean like my garden?

[gentle otter]

This game really has me psyched. I love the aesthetic. Is there going to be quests? (I saw in the trailer that you can unravel the mystery of what happened to humanity)

[wanton badge]

Gliders in the trailer my man

[proper walrus]

Gliders dont = flying tho

[hard iris]

We want to enable people to live a cozy fantasy life of their dreams. If players say that's Hell Plot, I guess that's what it'll be!

[wanton badge]

Well , floating devices

[proper walrus]

that means gliding, flying is more for staying in the air at all times

[old granite]

Any minigames? If there isnt pvp will there be like a connect four game that people can play or maybe even chess

[honest ruin]

AWESOME

[wary folio]

i guess engineers will help u to make a flying machine from harvesting robot 👉 👈

[proper walrus]

Now unless these are magically powered gliders

[gentle otter]

Is the team looking to expand? (Looking for writers?)

[errant pagoda]

In Game Uno option, lets go.

Just dont add monopoly, that ruins families and friendships >>

[wanton badge]

If u close your eyes everything can be magic

[proper walrus]

Pet battle system and a card system is mandatory for mmos these days it seems lol

[onyx gulch]

Meet your friends, play some Uno, argue over the rules, never play it again xD

[native palm]

if people want a pet battle system they would play pokemon..well besides wow

[runic notch]

I would put flying under "Possible forms of fast travel" Thats a bucket we'd definitely take community feedback on.

[rare meadow]

if there isn't a cosy fishing minigame then it was all for nothing

[fringe widget]

or maybe expand the world uppon

[idle lichen]

@runic notch I know this mmo will not have a focus on combat if any at all but will we still be able to play around with magic and/or swords/weapons?

[onyx gulch]

Fishing+ability to make wallmounts for your home!

[wary folio]

flying airship for the whole village woohoo

[errant pagoda]

With only the trailer to go on, Fast travel in the form of a hot air balloon or blimp kinda makes sense.

[wanton badge]

Sooo no to a palia airlines ?

[wanton badge]

No magic

[native palm]

later on down the line will their be flying airships a airship house? a flying house? a movable flying house?

[errant pagoda]

Like a Certain Pixar movie with alot of balloons attached to the house?)

[native palm]

^ exactly

[undone otter]

Wall mounts would be a big one for me with the fishing

[runic notch]

I think there might be a little of some of that

[undone otter]

Let us display our best catches

[onyx gulch]

Yeah!

[storm merlin]

I have a question, in the trailer, and one of the key factors I am so intrigued in playing this game is the amazing interior designing. One thing i'm worried about though is if getting furniture will be locked behind a paywall. I see lots of games do this and its kinda upsetting. Also, will furniture serve any kind of use? Like storage or crafting?

[wary folio]

oh, will there be a sea/ocean where we can swim on a water mount? 👉 👈

[honest ruin]

As a caster/mage is there a spell that allows you do duplicate yourself so you can send your clones and do the harvesting for you? Asking for a friend who likes automation.

[upper flower]

This seems like a great take on a high scale advanced Stardew Valley, I'm looking forward to the development!

[graceful tulip]

Quick question, where does the name Palia come from? Is it just a cool sounding name or is there any meaning behind that?

[rare meadow]

The usual 'endgame' of MMO's is considered to be just grinding the hardest content - obviously this MMO is taking a brave new approach - what do you expect experienced players to spend most of their time doing ingame?

[native palm]

oh maybe even design a boat??? like in a old MMO that is now gone pirates of the carribean???

[sly ravine]

Devs are you anticipating any server issues with the alpha test group? Or will you start safe and slowly increase the pool of testers to test for this

[proper walrus]

You never played xiv then where the true endgame is fashion

[manic horizon]

Thats Warframe

[errant pagoda]

Pretty Amazing Landscape Inducing Awe? P.A.L.I.A

[rare meadow]

this actually is what i'm getting at - is the real endgame of palia just grinding new wallpapers from special crops or something? if so then fine, cosy, i'm just curious

[onyx gulch]

Thats also Warframe

[proper walrus]

Warframe you have to buy the cool stuff tho

[tall venture]

Will there be any form of fast travel outside of possible mounts and/or gliders? Something like waypoints in GW2 or portals in WoW

[rare meadow]

warframe endgame is just market chat

[wanton badge]

I think will be a little kind of magic in this game this concept art look like something about wishes or butterfly festival

[onyx gulch]

Fair point

[native palm]

GW2 did it better

[dusk ferry]

there will always be issues during testing, it's just a matter of how bad they will be depending on amount of people they allow
~ that's what testing is for

[gentle otter]

I've been looking for a more immersive world than WoW and I'm really digging what I saw in the trailer

[fringe widget]

to grindy

[undone otter]

Omg cute ingame festivals would be amazing

[native palm]

i meant how the transportation system worked like instead of using a flight path and waiting it was instant teleportation to basically anywhere you needed to go

[wanton badge]

Yeah I think the same

[sly ravine]

Yeah I’m curious of the popularity and demand has blown their capacity out of the waters though lol

[jagged echo]

I wonder, will there be mounts in any way? Like horses, deer, or maybe even something more fantasy-ish like griffins?

[manic horizon]

With the right tech, servers can scale to demand

[fringe widget]

maybe catch a wild animal and ride it?

[honest ruin]

I'm from the Netherlands and seeing that imagine above rose a very important question for me. CAN I BUILD A WINDMILL AND LIVE IN IT?

[somber ridge]

@runic notch What are the plans for cooperative play/interaction, is it based of markets or trading? Can we expect to see group venturing out into the wild to collect rare materials?

[raw timber]

I'm just gonna fish for 12 hours a day if i can

[wary folio]

i think that this was already said, but as far as i can remember LOTRO had piano which u could play

we want playable piano in taverns i guess

[dusk ferry]

Think it has, but that's a good thing. more feedback

[undone otter]

Yeah but with prealpha they have control of how many people they let in

[native palm]

now that would be cool

[errant pagoda]

Give it a week to see how much attention it gets, then compare it to the week after, that amount of attention will say it all lol

[proper walrus]

Since this game isn't a big focus "as of yet..." on endgame im thinking the pay model tho will be b2p with cosmetic shop, least idk if people would pay monthy for life sim mmo

[wanton badge]

Maybe town festival with mini games where u can get especial seasonal items for your house or seeds for your farm @runic notch ??

[undone otter]

Yes yes yes 👆👆👆

[sly ravine]

Oh oh here’s a question lol, will their be oceanic servers on the roadmap for those who live in Australia/New Zealand? Or would it not matter because ping isn’t as important

[cosmic quiver]

Can we expect a localization on languages other than english?

[proper walrus]

Also that would be sick... top get mounts have a class or something called beast tamer/master and you have to go out and explore the world to collect the mounts 😮

[wanton badge]

The spam bot atack again

[errant pagoda]

Am also hoping for oceanic support myself

[undone otter]

If I could do this and sell them to people then I am fully on board

[native palm]

also would their a translator in game so i don't have to use google translator like in wow..

[gentle otter]

Was this game inspired at all by a canceled game called, "True Fantasy," for the OG Xbox? I get those vibes...

[regal pumice]

Yes, we plan on eventually having localization. Pre-Alpha will only be in English, though ^^

[tall venture]

I just wanted to express my love for seasonal events but the bot didn't like that 😩

[onyx gulch]

Not only that you need to pay attention of what kind of food/treats thats gonna work for that particular animal, as well as time of day, and geography

[hollow iron]

will there be any transport in game? like wagons

[regal pumice]

Also small reminder for folks to check the #❔│game-faqs channel as well as the community run FAQ on our pins that address some of these questions

[undone otter]

ME TOO seasonal events are a big one for me

They said that they can't really talk much about whether they're in yet

[wanton badge]

Any kind of answer about seasonal events or festival or something related to seasonal events ?

[manic horizon]

Heh, one that isn't in there:

Are you going to block / be upset by people modifying settings with Unreal config files?

[wary folio]

Hi any info about crossplay? crossplatform progress?

[severe hatch]

I **Palia **3rd person, 1st person or isometric?

[undone otter]

Yeah they replied to me yesterday about it and said they can't really talk too much about that yet

[dusk ferry]

3rd

[wanton badge]

Yeee I get it

[errant pagoda]

pc initially, more platforms later.

[storm merlin]

He meant the perspective

[severe hatch]

Thanks

[jade jasper]

So will this be more of a RuneScape-esque server selection style, along the lines of Stardew / Valheim with local hosting, or like Rust / Ark with public servers but with progression tied to the server?

[wanton badge]

Crossplay is a must have for new games .

[errant pagoda]

i think i tagged the wrong person lol

meant lordsmok lol

[runic notch]

No server selection, hit the big play button and play with friends

[undone otter]

God I hope they go in with seasonal events and community spaces like taverns. Imagine winter if there's snow about and you can decorate your house all Christmassy and throw snowballs at people

C o z y

[ember rivet]

Do you plan on adding something like an archeology? 👀

[storm merlin]

Hmm... What color button?

[undone otter]

Or treasure hunting in the same vein?

[errant pagoda]

The big red button of course

[manic horizon]

I think he meant are servers hosted by yourself, or can players host dedicated servers for local realms 😄

[undone otter]

Just give me a profession down the line that is effectively just Runescape clue scrolls

[storm merlin]

We need more red play buttons tbh

[wary folio]

i think it will be blue color

[errant pagoda]

I have one, it screams GG when i hit it.

[spice burrow]

what is the 'rollout timeline' for the game ?

[storm merlin]

LUCKY OML can you share

[wanton badge]

When the game came out steam,epic store ? Where it can be played ? @runic notch

[severe hatch]

So you mean it is just one big server, or is it instanced and puts you in with people on your friends list?

[runic notch]

We aren't sharing this atm but since the preAlpha starts soon you'll have your answer soon!

[wanton badge]

Ty for the answer !

[errant pagoda]

May the Tech Adepts protect the servers, cause they are sure to get strain tested lol.

[runic notch]

more the latter, I just avoid the word instance because depending on what games you've played that could mean something different

[severe hatch]

Ah k thanks

[gentle otter]

Good to not get dragged into the minutiae of phrases

[wary folio]

Will there be a limit to how much ppl can be in a neighborhood?
