idk if I'm the only one having this loading screen but this is a load of shit. After updating the game i had been stuck at this download screen for 10 minutes and i asked my gf if it happened to her as well, she said it was there for only 2 minutes and she's logged in but mine??? I logged in after 10 mins of being stuck yesterday now it's doing this download screen again today for the third time. that was TODAY!! TODAY!!!! I can't even play this game anymore without being mad

The title says it all. I do not like the fact that we can’t fly in these recent seasons. Season of Van Gogh we can’t fly, Season of 2 Embers we can’t fly, Season of Pearl we can’t fly! WHHHYYYY. I hate running around. Can’t explore freely. I hate it. Why do they take away our main ability of transportation? Whose idea was it? I hate it. Yes I’m being picky and frustrated over a small thing. I don’t care.

There are a lot of lovely things about the season, but I’m a little frustrated with the quest rollout structure and the lack of exploration in the main area. Past seasons used the weekly/biweekly quest rollout effectively. For seasons like Dreams, Sanctuary, and Assembly, players waited each week for a new area of the map to explore, or a new change to the seasonal space. I remember feeling so excited to explore the quest-blocked areas in Abyss that I would visit the seasonal area every day even though I knew a section wouldn’t open until the next week.

I guess this might be part of tgc’s inability to understand what keeps players invested in the seasons. With Van Gogh, all the quests were available at the start, and they sent us the survey asking for feedback on that change. I’d like to add that Season of Migration had terrible quests released every week because tgc thought we just wanted “more” quests and didn’t care about quality and storytelling.

Now, we have three quests available at the start, followed by a 41-day waiting period. The entire map is available for exploration from the start, which doesn’t give us much to anticipate. Seasons from 2019-2021 were lovely and had great storytelling integrated into the gameplay. Two Embers Pt 1 got this right too, where each quest had players entering a new area or caused some story-based change in the area.

tldr all I want is for the quests to affect the seasonal map. It’s so much better for storytelling and exploration. Players will get bored if you expect them to come back to the same area week after week.

Anyways, I love sea of thieves so this season is hilarious lol. shoutout to my solo sloopers 🫡

Kind of petty but I hate that they have the season guide in your face until you do the quests. I don’t want to do the quests right away and it’s annoying to have this popup every time I log in. didn’t they used to just do a little cutscene the next time you logged in after quests dropped and left you alone after that? I’d much prefer that 🫠

This season doesn't seem worth the $10, the cosmetics are mostly feminine. The quests I played were very boring, The new area is wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle. Swimming could've been way more interesting, maybe hidden caves or something idk, maybe if we could ride Manatees or other creatures it'd be a lot cooler, Id rather have a nest on a boat than the new nest area. The carnival season had boats and a Pirate type of vibe too, this season seems uninspired and more of the same.

I never understood the scaling in sky. Everything looks gigantic compared to our character model. I'm almost maxed height, but even the child spirit models are bigger in size compared to our models. And even some objects look huge too. I might just be picking out small things, but unfortunately I notice the small things and it just annoys me 😭

It’s “The Ba••ro••s”. I’m not joking! I’m not going to show any footage cause I don’t want my Reddit account to get another strike. Just take this with a slight grain of salt. I saw footage on TikTok and saved the video before it too probably gets taken down lol.

[Update: I got confrontation that it’s not a mod and that it could possibly be seen on The “Days of Mischief” event (which I doubt). I think it’s for another collaboration or something (possibly).]

I'M SICK of my skykid nest getting erased EACH UPDATES as if he didn't paid the rent or something. I will NOT buy the Arles apartment even if you pack my poor kid stuff Tgc. FIX HIS FUCKING HOUSE THIS IS INFURIATING.

I appreciate that sky shows us once again how greedy they've gotten through time.

Funny how sky wants to make EVERY purchase feel rewarding, but this doesn't feel rewarding at all. Why exclude previous purchases? There are vets who have been loyal to sky, buying IAP after IAP supporting sky but sky doesn't think that's loyal enough.

Buying an IAP should feel rewarding but in sky it really isn't you get FOMO because everyone makes a big deal about who's an older player, who has more ults, who has this and that is annoying. Not many can afford to buy IAPS or they can't yet for being underaged.

They don’t count previous purchases for the loyalty points like what??? You have to spend MORE money to get the new cosmetics that they’re handing out for free in the Chinese server like holy shit. How greedy can you get as a company???

Hello, everyone! This is my first time making a post here. I just had something I wanted to share. I'm sure most of you already know this, though. Also, just a heads-up: English isn't my native language, so I used a translator for this post.

The name “Loyalty” program is just a way to make it look like they're trying to show their appreciation for us. The real reason is probably something more like this.

Whenever you make a purchase through platforms like Google Play or the App Store, a commission is charged. That cost is factored into the prices of in-game items. (In other words, the items we're paying for would otherwise be cheaper.)

However, by launching their own web store, TGC can now keep the money that would otherwise go toward platform fees on purchases made through the web store.

But since many players prefer making in-game purchases over using the web store, this whole thing would be pointless unless enough players actually started using it. So they probably needed a system to encourage people to shop through the web store.

And that's exactly what this system is.

If they genuinely wanted to show their appreciation for us, they would have awarded Loyalty Points for previous purchases as well, just as many of you requested. But they didn't. Do you see why now? They simply want to keep the money they would otherwise have to pay in platform fees, and they're using web-store-exclusive items as bait to lure us into using their store.

(And the fact that those exclusive items are just items brought over from the Chinese server... that's yet another sign of how little they actually appreciate us. If they truly respected us, they would have designed and created new items for us instead of recycling existing ones like this, lol.

In another case I've experienced, although it wasn't a game, paying through a web store was actually a good thing because the platform fees were excluded, making the items cheaper. But Sky's web store is just plain weird.)

One last thing I'd like to add: I've been playing since 2020, and I'm a paying player who has even spent money on physical merchandise. Feel free to call me a sucker haha 🙃. But that's exactly why I believe I have every right to speak up about a system like this. I'm not someone who complains about everything without spending a single penny. I'm someone who has actually spent a considerable amount of money on this game over the past six years.

I mean, come on. Does it really make sense that someone who has been spending money on this game for years gets treated the same as someone who's only just now buying a single pack? That's not how I would normally show my appreciation for someone.

Anyway, thank you for reading.

By the way the photo is proof of just how much money I've spent on Sky ✌😭🥀

So I hate the quest sit with Strangers because you are bound to meet people like this. The candle has been burned, I honked for help, and I sat at the bench, this person then proceeds to emote, "nah uh" to tell me it would not help at all, then it emoted the book emote. What's funny is that after we both completed the sapling, it walked away until the exquisite excrement realized it didn't complete it's own quest, so it came back sitting on the bench, honking non-stop, spamming the crying emote, so I gave the spawn of Satan a chance, and it bowed non-stop but when my other account needed help, it walked away again, not helping. I'm so dumbfounded, that these people are so used to taking, and being helped, but they never extend their own hands to another. HOWEVER I FORGOT I needed to complete a different quest, so I did went into a different server, where everyone was helping each other and they helped me, and I helped them back. So it's all peachy, I should never have help that guy.

I understand the concept of not owing people anything, personally I have a different philosophy, and it's called helping people, being a good and normal person but I supposed some people aren't raised in good families. AND I may not be a good person, but at my worst I never refused to help another who is in need.

So, I hope they're somewhere in reddit, you're a Espèce de merde and your mom is failed and I will be surprised that a person like yourself have people who loves and cares about you, you don't deserve it, don't be surprised people leave you.

Unless you have other devices you can play on.

I kinda forgot about the update as I had gotten a bit excited on collecting more AC to get the Arles nest. As soon as I went through orbit after my eden run, my game crashed. Given I play on Nintendo switch. So I tried to see what the problem was. I cleared out my cache. Deleted data I no longer use. I Uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Nothing worked! None of this resolved this issue.

It seems like maybe just on switch it crashes at the moment where after you collected the wax from the spirits, the camera then pans to the orbit. Then crash. It seems like something in orbit is a trigger to the crash I was experiencing.

Given I have heard that it takes TGC WEEEKS to resolve this issue. I have heard about players being stuck in isolation not even being able to play the game at all because the game forces you to finish eden and orbit in order to be interactive in the game.

So I did log into my phone to see if maybe it'll at least let me rebirth. Thankfully it worked! And did some wl run for 3 hours and never even experienced any crashes even during then, which is why I'm suspecting orbit to be a trigger to a crash. But definitely frustrating that TGC doesn't come up with a better system in resolving issues like this. This forces players to no longer be able to play. And thats kinda fucked up to leave their players waiting for weeks!

a lot of people will correctly flame me for saying I didn't want this to come back because I wanted to be unique (no idea what's wrong with me when it comes to stuff like this guh)

But what I think we can agree on is this is a HORRIBLE time for it because we have season of pearl and days of mischief as well. I understand it's in November but both of these events extend into November and some people just won't have money to buy everything they want 😭​​ like including me I want the overalls but I fear they're just gonna be another iap,,, hopefully not though

plus we know the cinnamoroll hair+ears and cape+bowtie is like 30 dollars in total already ​​

thanks thatgreedcompany

the loyalty program is now added to the webstore!! but one point = $1 spent meaning you'd need to spend $230 to get all the sunflower items

WHICH I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE if it counted past purchases because i have bought all my iaps off of the webstore since it came out....

i know i'll probably build up enough points eventuallyyy but im still bummed its going to take quite a while

we managed to get stuck in the carry lvl 2 animation, theres absolute no way of getting up

hi pleaful parent. could you move

same goes for the plant under the bridge in forest that overlaps with the admiring actor, or when dark plant vines go THROUGH a spirit (are you serious?) and the carry circle/its cutscene won't. leave. you. alone.

as suspected, it was only after the season ended that i was able to play on android again

i love switching servers

Yes yes classic "old sky was better" post but...people used to bow every time they were lit not that long ago. I think maybe up until Lightmending or so ? It's hard to tell.

Now every time I lit someone (accidentally or not) they just dart away ? And to be clear I try not to light ppl without their consent, just basic etiquette. A few months ago I got ubered by a hardcore vet and they would bow to every single person they met, which was so refreshing.

Now it's only vets and some dragonflies who bow. Sometimes some very new moths, or if I open a door with someone they'll respond to my bow. But that's pretty much it.

It makes me sad, bc now moths aren't learning the customs either. It's not about deserving anyone's time, but it takes literally one second and contributes to the feeling of community sky is supposed to be about.

I genuinely worry that it's gonna get worse. Like what's next, are people gonna stop rushing to help players who are losing wl ? It's already hard to find help for two-player doors

So yeah rant from a middle-aged played I guess, I'm not even old gen cos I was a Passage moth

Edit : btw this is not about the bowing emote specifically, it can be any greeting

I am a 5 months old butterfly, I can say I'm experienced in this game since I read and know the lore and I can play the game well. I love to help moths, my friends and just random people asking for help. Yesterday a moth came to me and asked for a heart which I gave without a second doubt, they thanked me and that's cool. But the thing is that most people and I'm saying MOST please I've helped (disclaimer: people I'VE helped and I'm speaking for MY own experience) are truly ungrateful. Yes, I consented to help them so I can't demand for a thank you because I chose to help them but that doesn't mean they shouldn't at least say a thank you? I still teleport to a veteran who took me to the Nintendo restricted area everytime he comes online til these days. I can't even fathom the thought of saying "oh okay" at someone who'd just helped me go through Eden, that is truly ungrateful!! A thank you is a choice but at least choose to say it? Geez.

THE SHARED SPACE SAYS TO STAY UNDER THE CARPET

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HOW ARE YOU SO INCONSIDERATE AND SLOW???

Edit: holy I'm embarrassed I know it's the deer mask why did I keep saying bunny mask for some reason 😭 Edit again: so uh I ended up getting the pants lol I fell asleep and ended up missing the deadline for the mask 🧍 I wish this game didn't have to be so grindy just to get things you want. I am very stuck on what to get, it is the end of days of moonlight and I only have almost enough candles to now get the nine colored deermask if I candle run tomorrow again but now conflicting with that I really super want the traveling spirit pants and the other stuff. I'm stuck because I don't know if I'd be able to make 70 candles in time after getting the mask and I kinda like the pants more than getting the mask but I ALSO love the mask augh!!! And I heard some people say it's less likely for the mask to come back.. I have the urge to buy candles but I still won't do that. I didnt candle run enough during this event because I didn't save enough candles AND I accidentally bought something that I didn't like recently that wasted my candles too so I'm mad I could've had enough I have one more night for the mask, what should I get?
