some improvements i'm hoping for as someone who's been playing almost everyday for over 3 years: - being able to pin or separate your fave emotes in order to access them quicker, and still keep the "last used" section. Or, even have settings where you can display between different listing options: as it is now, in the order of old to new emotes and vice versa, most used to least used etc. - allowing us to carry more than one accessory!!! i have so many but i never use them as i always travel with torch (running out of flight power and looking for environmental charge points just slows the game too much). Especially now with the selfie feature, you have to constantly carry the camera in order to catch cool moments but now you can't carry instruments or charging items. I feel like they should allow us to carry 3 items, eg: one for music/prop, one for camera, one for charging (then give you the option to toggle which to show on your back). This gives you the opportunity to make use of all your accessories (free, paid for, season pass etc) and not feel like you've wasted resources to invest in them only for it to gather dust. With this you can personalize your skykid way more, have more props for on the go selfies, and generally have more fun. No more going to home space to quickly change accessories. Otherwise, TGC needs to incorporate more changing rooms throughout the maps so you can change accessories on the go if need be without teleporting. - why not have the special event candles revert to normal candles once the event finishes? scam - getting pretty tired of all the events and needing to watch youtube videos for updates. It's like you can't follow whats happeining in-game without following some kind of social media channel for updates. Have each event guide, well i don't know, GUIDE you more. If you have trouble, go to a guide for assistance (like the guide can come with a set of question options for you to choose from, Sims style) eg: click on guide, go to a question mark icon, and a whole set of prompts pop up, like "what are special event candles" "help i can't find candles please help me look for them" "what activities are available" "any time sensitive activities (like the concert every 15min at the anniversary)" - i'ts been years and no other ways for collecting hearts? the old way is not working for a lot of players and so they have limited heart currency, not allowing them to buy certain cosmetics. Just introduce humanitarian activities which gifts hearts; eg, all daily tasks relating to friends - like hugging a friend etc - should reward hearts, not candles. Have a set of tasks dedicated to candle collecting (4) and another set to hearts (2). Other friendly activities may include: chatting with a friend for over ten minutes, help 5 players fully recharge their capes by deep calling, guide a moth, etc etc. Encourage good friendly behaviour with hearts!!! - NO MORE CUTSCENES. I've been playing for so long, i'm tired of seeing them!! Skip button for ALL cutscenes (ESPECIALLY the flying boats in Valley) - more options for camera angles. We have our standard 3rd person, how about a 1st person view? And please an overhead camera angle!! i hate going to Eden with the wonky moving camera, i just want a wide stable overhead view to see where im going and which statues to light - this wll never happen, but im still so upset my seasonal pass snorkel mask is no different in ability to the "free" one. I wanted more underwater time!! I understand not wanting to give IAP players more of an advantage, but like, im paying money for an advantage arent i????? Same now with the free vs premium camera: why isn't there any difference? the whole "ultimate reward" is a scam, and a joke. Players invest actual MONEY for this TGC, just give them the advantage!!!! might even boost you sales!! Why can't the premium camera have more settings compared to the basic camera, like being able to add filters, Sky official stickers, and so on. YOU GIVE ULTIMATE REWARD A BAD NAME, TGC, WHAT A SHAM - i hate doors needing +1 players to open it. Just slows the game, wastes time. Just allow players to light each door one at a time without it fading, is it such a big deal? - PLEASE TGC, WE NEED FAST TRAVEL WE ARE BEGGING YOU. Allow players to have the ability to set up like 5 fast travel points which they can move around as they wish (personalize playing a bit more, especially for those of us with limited playing time and just wnating do get their daily candle run routine in) - just make Do Not Disturb an actual feature and not a limited use spell we need to buy you greedy fuc- - in-game ID. When you light a player and feel comfortable with sharing, you can show them your SKYkid ID (like a number, username etc) So when there's a case of neither you nor the other play have candles on hand to accept friend request, or you are scared of a server change, you have the option of a player identifying you other than befriending them. This can also allow players to identify & report troublemakers - the cloud paths are ridiculously annoying to access, needs a bit polishing up. Maybe instead of clouds just have all the entrances on an island, each entrance leading to the cloud vortex for each realm? I understand the aesthetic and purpose of how it is now but it's impractical. Kinda just wish they had a separate easy to access homespace for the seasonal realms (going to hidden forest then to the flight realm and THEN going into the cloud vortex takes too much time and controlling the skykid while in the clouds is tricky) - shall i suggest pets? little jellyfish, butterfly, birb companions you can equip to help you recharge on the way when u don't have friends to fly with. As a longterm solo player, it's a bummer not having the ability to recharge whilst flying, and sometimes the game gets lonely. I want a lil friend to join me on my travels but also not have me stress too muh about server issues and socializing - introduce more permanent activities to interact with in-game to allow you to harvest more candles/hearts. Like the valley race just rewarding you one candle is a joke. Have many past seasonal activies which are still active (like in hidden forest) rewards candles.The more u play & interact = more currency. The reward system in this game needs a touch up. Players feel burnt out because they play long hours but still need to grind in order to afford cosmetics/ constellation/friendship trees. The currency system now isn't optimal; we need more sources for collecting candles. there's more, but this is enough rambling for now.
@coolbeans5911 Thank you so much for sharing your extensive insights and thoughts on the game. It's clear you've spent a great deal of time in this game... and your feedback is incredibly valuable. It's like you've crafted a comprehensive "wishlist" for enhancing the Sky experience. Your thoughtful suggestions resonate with many players, and who knows, some of these ideas might just find their way into future updates. Kudos for your dedication and creative ideas. I liked your point of differentiated premium rewards, desiring distinct advantages for premium rewards to add value to purchases. Your insights offer valuable perspectives. Thank you so so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!
@@youviewsky and thank you for the wonderful and honest video!!! A lot of players in the community do feel rather dissatisfied but feel too bad to criticise the game as it's also been a great source of comfort for them (especially players as myself who played for the first time during Covid lockdown). There's always room for improvement and by voicing concerns we can encourage TGC to make changes for the better before they lose even more players who once found great joy in the world of Sky. I saddens me to see people leave!! So much potential for Sky, and the community really has some great ideas to offer
@coolbeans5911 Wow , I can see how much time you spent writing this , I spent 20 min reading it , And I agree with how burnt out this game becomes when you have to grind everyday for hard candles , I'd like to see your ideas in the game soon . I hope this *essay* reachs TGC soon.
I'd definitely throw in a way to get a lot more hearts a lot more easily. I understand what they're trying for by encouraging people to befriend each other and get hearts that way, but it doesn't do much good if any friends people make never get to that point on the friendship tree or, worse yet, NEVER SHOW UP AGAIN! Maybe make dummy accounts a little easier to get to (especially for Switch players). As of right now, we'd have an easier time just hacking the game to get the hearts we need for the desired cosmetics, just to save ourselves the despair of never being able to get any hearts at all.
@@shadowstar8619That would beat the purpose of the game which is to have you interact with other players in order to progress. Also, as a free game, they don't want you to be done with it quickly, they will drag your grind as long as they can so you'll spend more time in the game and perhaps spend a little money on their stuff.
All I'm saying is, the only thing I want is the ability to pin my favorite emotes so I don't have to scroll a thousand miles everytime looking for them
this one i also agree n sprit things sometimes u dont wana relive a sprit but others are reliving it n u touch it somehow n now u also have to relive sprit while camera changing everything when u fly
I've noticed since season of assembly that the more the fanbase grows, the more likely bad players join. The game hasn't always been this bad when it comes to newbies, I personally spoil every new player I meet and treat them very kindly. The bugs however have been an issue for over a year, hopefully TGC finds ways to improve them.
Yup, and once the game becomes available on PC/Steam, it's going to attract even more toxic players/trolls. Especially because of PC/Steam (that's where you'll find the most amount of trolls).
Most players who have been around for years tend to not want to add new players because their friends list is GIGANTIC and its alot of candles to light on a daily basis
Not only that, but most new players stop playing, and you can’t remove them. I have a bunch of moths in my friend list that haven’t been online ever since I added them.
@@Luziiifer Removing friends would be very nice since I have friended many players that are not active at all. Or players whos candles I always lit in constellation but they don't never lit mine.
@@chuiga2935 I'm guilty of this, since normally I used to sign on and light alll the candles then leave and go home to refresh to light a whole bunch more, I did this atleast 3 times daily just to light all the friends on my list, then I just got tierd of it so now I usually only light whoever is currently online when I'm online. I know TGC didn't want to add a button to "auto light all" but they could atleast do that for all players who aren't in your favorite list. If im not mistaken they wanted to keep the process "personal" so u need to intentionally light a person's candle but, instead of being a lovable process is actually pretty tiring. Maybe if they rewarded a candle or two for completing them all as a new daily task it would feel like less of a burden but idk LOL. ( PS sorry for making you read this encyclopedia of a comment 😅)
@@dreameater7777 I love long comments :). Autolight option would be awesome if your sky is full of stars, tho I can understand why that isn't a thing. It's a huge task to light everyones candles. I also enjoy seeing some players how their looks changes. I don't mind that someone sometimes don't light the candle, but I find it pretty upsetting if I keep lighting their candle but they never light mine :c. I actually have only few stars who occasionally also light my star. That's why I would like to remove those that never log in the game anymore or just don't want to help others to (slowly) get some hearts.
The first issue: I think the first person wasn't very rude when you went up to them and tried to friend them, it's not like they mocked you or anything...they just went away. There are many reasons as to why someone may not want a new friend, for example: 1. moths often go inactive after you friend them 2. I've had moths follow me around and beg for cosmetics/season passes, and treat me like their personal uber. 3. Friend constellation is full 4. you just don't want new friends/antisocial. It goes both ways. No harm in friending someone, no harm in them not wanting to friend you. The second person was kinda weird tho, but let's be honest: players like them aren't that common unless you go looking for them. The traveling spirits: we DO get new spirits...did we all forget Narcissist showed up literally a week ago?? I think it's fair to interchange new traveling spirits and old ones because HELLO not everyone has been playing for the same amount of time. Weren't you just upset about how moths are treated? It's not a huge deal if a spirit you already got shows up, if anything you get to save your candles. The whole point of a traveling spirit is sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not. And the returning spirits! They literally fix your entire issue with not wanting old traveling spirits to return! By bringing back a bunch of spirits at the same time, TGC is making room for NEW ones to come through quicker. And recolor items: Yeah? Just don't buy them LMAO the premium IAPs are mainly there to show your support to the company and they're like collector items in a way. You can take em or leave em.
I think this was a good counterpoint! I understand what you’re saying in the last paragraph and I agree, but at the same time I disagree. Personally, I don’t think the recolored instruments are the BIGGEST deal because it’s different than buying a seasonal pass, you know? You’re choosing to buy one specific item while season passes give you lots of stuff, even if you don’t like it. But it still is frustrating to see tgc pump out items that are already in-game. The camera thing does frustrate me though. Because yes, you don’t have to buy the pass, but people that do want it have no choice but to get the camera too. Usually when buying a season pass, people buy it for the spirit’s cosmetics as well, not just ultimate rewards. If you’re going to include something in a package-deal, it might as well be worth the money. People buy the season pass for unique cosmetics, so if the ultimate reward is a duplicate, you can see why someone would be upset. I think the camera should’ve been replaced and turned into an item that you can buy with candles, like the performance mask. (I don’t know if any of that made sense, I had to edit it a lot bc I didn’t wanna come across as mean!) Again, I agree with you on literally everything else 😭
I agree. I thought this video would be validating but it mostly reminded me of how much more moderate and yielding I am to the issues of Sky and just enjoy it for what it is and get out of it what I want when I want. Simple as that. I also like to play alone, but enjoy company when there are people around.
I agree with the not befriending moths thing. When I made my alt account I added like 15 moths, and only 2 were still playing. If a new player approaches me and tries to add me it's enough to do a bow to decline. Sometimes I just explain the game to them without adding.
Sky does have a number of problems, and I also love the game. One of the main points of the game is socialization, but socialization is locked behind candles. I get that is their way of trying to encourage people to engage with the game, but if the choice is between spending candles on being social with a stranger who you don’t even know if you want to be friends with or buying on a cool cosmetic you want, then I would go with the cosmetic. The IAPs are too expensive. I get it, tgc wants to make money, but $29.99 for a VIRTUAL item is too much. That much money for a cute little plushie? I’d rather just purchase one in real life for the same price. IMO IAPs should be more like $4.99 - $9.99 MAX. The game is repetitive. If you aren’t invested in your sky friends or in getting cosmetics, there really is nothing there. I wish tgc would add in more creative ways to play the game. I wouldn’t even mind mini quests. “Go find the special pink crab and bring it to this special place or spirit” or “find a special song to unlock a secret area with more lore” or whatever. They might be bad examples but honestly there needs to be more game there. You can only play so much Toss the Crab Plushie, sit at so many tables, or run the same cr over and over again before it starts getting old.
the creator of the video didnt note that the guitar pack also comes with 50 (might be more) candles which ramps up the price. it also is balanced with the candles being added to an ULT (season pass price) which is what the original guitar was. the Og elec guitar will never return
Well that's why it's more f2p friendly because the IAP items are just different skins so if you don't have money you can just go with the free. At least I think.
I was expecting someone to say this no I dont need money to play but using money being the only healthy way of getting the stuff is way worse so dont say that again youre just making them more greedy than they already are
@@TheGalaxyEnder maybe you just dont like the game? if you need to pay for advantage to enjoy it while thousands of players dont makes me think you dont like it
@@noodle7380 ok it's pointless to talk with you enjoy your moral superiority bubble I used to love the game but not anymore I hate the people like you who are part of this community accepting even the worst stuff TGC does like it's ok
With the ever-growing popularity of Sky, we're seeing a delightful mix of players like some veterans who have been here for around 2 years, others loyal to the game from its early days on the Switch, and a constant influx of newcomers also joining. So, when it comes to the travelling spirits, we have a unique situation. For new players, encountering them is an exciting novelty, while for seasoned players with comprehensive collections, it presents a challenge since they already possess the cosmetics. To create a harmonious experience for both new and old players, perhaps we could consider giving a chance to some of the older travelling spirits. This way, everyone can find joy.
The biggest issue i see is TGC lack of care about fixing their broken game is unbelievable that after 2 years a lot of glitches bugs performance issues havent been touch running players including me experience but lets not talk about the benefit ones because they work their life to fix those
A lot of new players come to the game. I get at least a moth a day trying to friend me. And most often we haven't had any interaction at all- they just light me up and immediately add me as a friend. I don't accept because we have barely interacted, and I don't want them to waste their candles on me. But I always do the "no" emote and then the "kiss" emote to let them know it's not because of something about them. If I've got time I'll set up a table to chat with them and let them know why. However if it's a moth I've interacted with or helped through a realm I'm glad to accept friendship. That's my attitude towards it right now :)
Honestly as someone who played this game alone for a long long time I recommend that moths play by themselves at least for a couple months maybe even a year like I did. Because a lot of the time it isn’t even fun to have friends who just show you where everything is. You can’t enjoy the game if all you’re doing is holding someone’s hand. It’s also not fun having to take someone through every part of the map and explaining everything that you have already done or been doing for years. The creators and a lot of players push this multiplayer and friendship stuff so much that people think they cannot make it on their own. Even my own group kind of pushes it. Sometimes I just don’t want to hold their hand I like being near them and able to chat but not restricted from the map. And I’m kind of forced too. And if you’re not overly positive 1000% or the time they will immediately take offense because you’re not allowed to show your real personality in the game. Having friends in the game is so unnecessarily complicated that at this point moth or not I will not be accepting anyone at the moment. I feel like you should be forced to go through all maps before you’re allowed to join multiplayer. Like not forced to do all the spirits just open all the portals.
I also do hope elders and ultimate gifts are reworked, as I feel the whole “you had to be there to get the ultimates” heavily relies on FOMO. The issue is though that you don’t wanna take away the effort from those who earned it via the season and making an alt version goes against the idea so that’s off the table. I think a good solution would be to have something in orbit similar to the other elders, where you complete all the spirits (I.E. Buy everything from the TSes associated with the season), you can buy their ultimate gifts (probably for a lot of ascended candles). This way people aren’t excluded from the items because they weren’t there and the put more effort in to actually get them so those who earned them in the season don’t feel cheated as much. Idk it’s a difficult thing to balance and maybe some day these items won’t be locked to the void. I’m not really sure if my idea is the best,
#1 hits so hard. My sky philosophy is exactly what that random said: We were all new once. And if that ONE person stuck around and hung out with me then I wouldn't feel the need to say this. One way to circumvent this: don't get chibi mask 1st. Spring for the table/chair, like I did. Made things way easier! Only unlock chats with regulars you see are on pretty often. MANAGE your favorite friends list constellations (move out inactives :'( ) and do NOT be afraid to tele to an online friend. Even when there busy stopping by to bow or even say hey always brightens my day! ❤
I may adress few issues with this video and that is the understanding of Sky. The game itself does not have much of a content, true, but majority of times you do something, you do it yourself. Try looking at it as making your own content rather than waiting endlessly to get one on a silver plate ^-^. It represents how real life works so much. You can sit in middle of nowhere and do nothing or go into beautiful area and try playing an instrument. Maybe you find an instrument that you like. Maybe you realize that for some songs are other instruments better than the other. So yes, the game has little of actual content, but every time I turn the game on I have more things to do than what I will actually do. Next up is the playerbase. A game that is free to play allows different people to come and play. I have heard of toxic people and also I have seen them. But it is much like real life anyway (mentioned above). Sorry that you couldnt find friends but as to what you showed, that is not how you are making friends. Sorry that some people treat you badly, I never myself did that. If I see a moth that automatically tries to befriend me I kindly appreciate the moment with some lovely emotes but I politely decline. Exception is when I see a moth having trouble with the area, then I let everything I had in plan and help them. Another thing are API items. To talk to example of the guiltar, I did not even know we had a blue variant as well @.@ I thought there was just one. Other items are more for the player base. There are people that will pay a bit of money for something that is bit extra, I am that kind of a person that buys some things just because they look bit better than the other. To say that TGC is 'looting' is bit more dramatized than what I would say. We have content creators all over beta that talk about new things since they are in WIP level of development so we know exactly what we are dealing with. Traveling spirits. Traveling spirits come back by chance, there isnt a pre-set cycle of all the spirits that could come at some point. Yes, players had issues with it and TGC is now making events when 4 spirits come at the time. Out of 4 spirits mentioned that were shown in the video, Pianist was here during days of music, not so long ago, and crab whisperer will be comming by soon enough. I do believe I covered most for the things mentioned in the video. For those 3 people that got at the end of this comment: I am sorry that you had to read trough all of it ; - ; . Cheers o/
Don't worry about the length xD And I agree with you, everything depends on the pov of the player, in my case I like to do the daily cr and wish to finish all the main constellation, but I hope for this content creator to find good people or any spark of joy that makes him forget about this aspects mentioned. Anyways. I hope you have a great day and see you in Sky xD
A good tip for meeting people on sky is to do eden runs! Usually people are really kind and eager to help you. It's hard for me not to run into a bunch of people and complete the run with them lol
This is not limited to toxic players alone. A substantial number of long-term Sky players, spanning approximately one year, have extensive social circles within the game. They often play in groups. So, they may find themselves preoccupied and may not have sufficient availability to guide newcomers.
My only problems with sky is it has too much camera movement causing me to constantly have to keep swiping to get it to the angle i want, and you cant adjust camera sensitivity
Wow 0:48 I got mentioned here hehe. Many toxic players indeed i can testify to that wayback when i was a moth. Its rare to find genuine friends unless u become a vet urself coz many judge you by your appearance/ attire in the game thats why i bought IAP to kinda feel good and never looked down upon by the way my skykid looked (sad reality even irl). Im trying to keep up and stay in the game since i have a goal and few nice people i got acquianted to. My faith stands til this day that there are nice players still coz i met them occasionally 😊
This sounds so insane to me. Imagine caring that much about other people's outfits to the point you bully them. I'm sad that you felt pressured into doing so, honestly people like that don't deserve to have friends who are way more humble about it all like you are. I only started to play a month ago and so far i've met nice people, fortunately, and i did made some vet friends aswell. I can't also understand how so many people think its okay to pay 20-30€ for ONE single item. It's outrageous and and i feel like it's so common in sky. Seriously that's like the cost of almost 2 meals where i live.
in all my time of being a sky player, i’ve seen plenty of toxicity. but there’s one person i saw that was so irredeemably toxic that i quite genuinely felt that they didn’t deserve this game. they took the cake It was a message boat near the return shrine, in which they were trying to justify making traveling spirits IAP. They had the logic that “It’s not us vets’ fault that we were here during the season and got special stuff.” They acted like all veterans had the money to buy the season pass when a season was there, and like all vets had the money to buy traveling spirit things too. this was back in mid-2021.
Honestly the most fun I have is with Eden, which is why I hope more content with risk like Eden is added. Also I’m still annoyed that pretty much everything from shattering is locked off, since that season didn’t have spirits in the normal sense.
shattering ts have been confirmed to come back they are just figuring out a way to do it and we havent had a chance for them to come yet. ts are semi random from the entire pool and newer season ts are incredibly rare. we've only just had two from flight come and shattering is after flight
I'm one of those veterans that run away when moths ask for friendship. I use the "no" and "bowing" emote to say sorry (when I can actually find them, bruh), then leave. I don't have any ill intention, I just prefer to play solo and the horizontal keybord makes it hard for me to type. Hopefully the pc version will make it less awkward and also less battery-consuming to chill in a game meant to chill around.
If you think TGC is looting us... trust me it's not. The guitar, harp and electric guitar is probably mainly there for players that weren't able to get those instruments like the guitar, and there's still another way to get them right? Some games don't even give you another choice other than buying stuff. It's not like they force you to buy it, right? there's always another way to get it
This!!! It's a free game without adds where 99% of items are possible without paying. You just actually have to play the game. The few items that to get you do have to pay for is how the game makes money.
Im sorry you had a bad experience with sky. It makes me angry that some of the community would act that way. I promise you not all of us are like that. I hope in time, maybe you give the game another chance. But its totally up to you. Have a nice morning/ noon/ night :)
I'm a season of Performance moth, I didn't know to do dailies or candle run at all-- I missed out on a lot of the cosmetics :( I feel a lot of burnout so I took a hiatus for the season of Passage, and when you do buy the pass you feel OBLIGATED to drag yourself through the game to get your money's worth. Also the price of some cosmetics are INSANE (their merch store too). The game felt so magical and stunning when I first played, everything was so fun and the quests I did for every season kept me occupied until I had nothing to do really :,)
ill give my own imput and its not meant to be mean or anything do not take it out of context. as someone who codes, designed small games etc, looked at game, what makes them tick; for the point of things being the same, i have something to say. idk what the reason was for the performance instruments exactly but when it comes to these items that act the same, like seasonal items, ill give one good reason, TGC wanted to be fair to their playerbase, especially with the camera, and diving mask. both were very important milestones, one adding the underwater mechanic in the game, the other added the new camera feature (tbh its kinda cool i can now take good pictures on switch now lol). but as stated it was to be fair to the playerbase. TGC listens to their player base and responds accordingly. however i do have something to say about the TGC guitar, yes its cool but also im asking the same question . . . _why?_ i do agree for that one there's no reason it should sound the same (who knows it might eventually change) another thing is i'm sad that as a normal player that is a switch veteran (coined it, been playing since it launched on the switch), that some instruments, those being the ULT instruments i will never own. at least the aurora instrument was unique . . . in short 3 things, TGC wants to be fair, yes they are trying to milk us (idm as long as it keeps this game running and i get cool cosmetics), and that sometimes what TGC decides is very strange indeed. i will always love this game and even though cr and wl runs are sometimes a pain . . . the friends around the world i have met via sky . . . i can't replace them and that is the true meaning behind sky. to unite players around the world and to prove that there is truly kind people still out there ^^
So I think a big issue that a lot of people don't like to talk about is how friending new players can be exhausting considering you have to type everything out to explain everything there is in the game. Like don't get me wrong. Making friends with new plays is great and i enjoy it. But I do get sick of typing. They need to make voice chat for everyone. Especially mobile players. I can talk ton my PS. But most peeps play on mobile so it kinda sucks typing all the time. With love❤
Call of duty Mobile has voice chat. So I don’t understand why they can’t add it. Make it to where you can only use voice chat with friends or people you allow. Having to type while flying is so frustrating especially on a tiny little phone screen
I guess it depends on the types of players too. When I got confused I went to UA-cam and the wiki lol, but I’ve been teaching some friends to play and only 1 has picked it up intuitively. The other 2 are very new and I think are after something more linear, but I’m walking them through wasteland this week. (Which scares me as it is already) But yeah it is dependent on the players themselves. Getting help is great, but no one is necessarily obligated to give it. 😵💫
Only thing i find with people wanting more out of more 'premium' versions of items, is it just locks even more behind a paywall, and free-to-play players are gonna find it even harder to keep up, the alternative versions are simply just to give a little extra flare to those who can afford it
I AGREE WITH THIS,i slightly disagree with the second one, but anyways, the third one, i agree. I cant say mucu since i havent played the game again in over a year, but, TGC should get more creative on usage + items + instruments, i feel like they should make more new musical stuff instead of repeating, or just, not making it at all and if they do repeat it atleast dont make it AP or IAP, theres def hundreds of instruments they most likely havent made (prove me if im wrong :)) I just feel like, as a 2021 player, that sky is getting more and more greedy + repetitive, they keep trying to add new stuff and seasonal candles are so strict that if you like dont even log in for 3 days you might not be able to complete said season, which i guess why traveling spirits are there, they also do AMAZING seasons like season of abyss that had a new mechanic of swimming underwater and i LOVED that but i feel like they never really did anything more with that mechanic.
Can you specify the "toxic" behavior towards newcomers? If its because some veterans dont want to add moths as a friend, or when some people suddenly left, i see no problem in doing so. As veteran myself my friendlist is full, and most moths i met just become inactive after 3 days to 1 week after playing sky, some of moths who sticks around become a jerk and begging for me to buy cosmetics and Adventure Pass for them and being rude, some of them turned out a pe*v*rt and preying over my friend who was a minor, this made me really selective when adding people in sky. Also People dont have obligation to befriend every new player are they? Its good if they do it, but they are not obligated to do so.
I know you didn’t complain about reoccurring traveling spirits and then shown 3 traveling spirits who have appeared multiple times already saying you need them😭😭😭
This just shows how cursed and broken ts system is. Reoccurring spirits are bad because they prevent you from getting new stuff. However, you can also really, really want some of the stuff the previous ts have. Thus, reoccurring spirits are bad, but them not returning is bad as well. In my opinion, most of the stuff ts offer should always be accessible
The first point has been an issue for a while, and I think the reason is fairly simple. New players are more likely to be trolls and are often cruel, and those that aren't often quit early. The other thing is in early days I don't want new players wasting candles on friending people when we might not even speak the same language. Sky players are majority kind to everyone. But 'kind" does not mean "willing to be friends." And I don't think that will ever change in the game. However it's easy to make friends using the discord server. Literately just typing 'I'm a new player, does anyone want to play with me" and you'll get so many people offering.
Wow, tgc is definitely awful gor making a 2nd electric guitar for players who weren't around for that season. I hate them so much for giving me the opportunity to actually play songs that only sound good with that guitar for once. And I definitely hate that tgc didn't add any extra features to the ultimate camera, so that free players aren't excluded from the fun! Especially since this is a new permanent feature. And thank you so much for showing beta content with no warning, so we can all know exactly what to expect with absolutely 0 surprise.
This is exactly the reason! I can tell your sarcasm from here haha! If TGC made them unique, players would complain that one feature has favoritism and impossible to get. TGC makes them the same, and people complain it’s just looting players
For the camera, I kinda wish the ult has a record func though. However, since it's an ult, it is very not fair to lock any extra features from future players
i played sky cotl for the longest time, but i stopped playing just last year. i just couldnt handle the seasons. every season, it was a repetitive and boring process to try and collect season candles, just logging in and running around every, single, day. when a spirit returns, i run around and collect normal candles, which is also very repetitive and boring. i think the game is wonderful, but its not meant to be played for a long period of time. play through it a few times, meet some new people, and just end it off with "wow, that was a cool game, lets move on." the problem i have with it is that tgc clearly tries to get players to stay, and tries to make players run around and repeatedly collect candles (like what i used to do). i just wish the game had less grinding. the atmosphere is so calm and relaxing, but the only thing i really felt when i rushed to collect seasonal items was stress.
Giving us so much expressions with no way to sort them??? I want to personalize emotes.... Also I think the instruments that sound the same would seem less scummy if they give people BIG disclaimers or reminder that their counterparts all sound the same, and it's just for style. I would buy the fledgling harp as it looks pretty 🌸 but no money
I was thinking about the store item versus the free items the other day when I seen the surfboard. I feel no game mechanics like that should be locked behind paywall n there should be a free earnable version that just a grey bland color but it had me thinking of how to make the store versions of items be worth it for those who by them n a good idea would be if they have effect coming off them like how level 2 n 4 emotes work compared to there level 1 n 3 counterpart.
There also generally rude players, as I play since release the community changed so much, I remember as all started as moth all would help, now now one helping, all grinding cosmetics, run through other players, stay stand beside geyser or on the granny table ( I speak not from real afk players they work or have other tasks) there literally people talk or make bulky emotes or run through other players but never help… it’s sad that people can’t behave and be kind, I miss the old nice sky community.
another thing that I'm not sure anyone's pointed out is the pressure of candle running and being " active " in game when doing wax events, even including the afk wax areas. they keep removing the ability to sit down and just collect wax ( by removing the shared spaces in certain areas ) and it burns me out a bit more when playing sky bc some ppl like me don't have the energy all the time to do full crs, and doing the afk wax helped a lot with that.
I want: - an unfriend button - to organise my emotes - cosmetics to be cheaper. The cape of days of colour that I wanted was 177 candles. That's more than a full week grinding 20 candles a day for ONLY the cape. My sister also mentioned that TGC is very quick to fix bugs that benefit players such as a glitch where players were able to get more seasonal candles than they should, and they removed it and all extra candles within 3 days. However if you have an issue or there's a common glitch then don't expect to hear from them. Also the new 5th anniversary cape will be like 30 dollars. I can buy entire different games for that money that will entertain me with amazing storylines, RPG or combat for that money: horizon zero dawn, the new RE4, it takes two, etc. I don't care that it has special effects, there's no justifying making one cosmetics piece, not even a set, 30 entire dollars. I do think we get a lot of nice free cosmetics, but I've only been playing since april and I'm already losing interest with the amount of grinding I have to do EVERYDAY to keep up being f2p and wanting some (not all) cosmetics.
About instruments that sound the same but looks different, a Switch pack had an instrument that sounds the same like the Pull -up spirit from season of passage.. and again, the whole thing costs money and yet don't feel difference playing the instruments.
the switch pack came with switch release so you couldnt even buy the ocarina unless you had a switch. TGC made the ocarina more accessable by placing it in a season
All of these are fair and honest points. Certainly in the end, Sky is a product made to make people cash-in or at least spend more playtime on it. I play sky for periods of time and I sometimes just stop playing to reduce fomo. I’m sorry to say there isn’t a proper conclusion, because it’s all how you play the game as. Some are rich, some don’t have time. It isn’t a game for everyone. Good video for discussion!
"Sorry I don't talk newbies, because I don't want to feel old" dude wtf? I mean I'm also old player but, what a shame of being old player? And make moth sad :/
I understand your problems here. I have that problems too. As 2020 and F2P player, Sky gets too much about money more than social. I do cr 15 candles a day and I done it less than a hour. So I can be rich, but at same time, it’s little greedy. Also, I sometimes get mad when the most likely cosmetics are IAP and UA-camr says about it: “oh look, it’s so cool. Guys, you must buy this”. Dude, this is so frustrating to other players and Sky UA-camrs don’t care about it. As solo player, TGC must also pay attention to those players, because they like to be with one person or alone just like me. I don’t like bullies(toxic people) and strict people. Speaking of the twin cosmetics, I like that they add those things so F2P players can have fun with it, I don’t care about the differences. About seasons, they are really so great to me and I can do there what I want. Ts comes with chance too, but other thing is that when it’s the same, you can save your candles for next one. You should just focus some personal opinion of other players than yourself, so we can love this game just like me.
Petition for Dancing performer ( season of dreams ) to become TS is dream yet to become plss I've been waiting patiently this whole time this😑😣 plss become TS already❤
@@PetRock-cz3xu not sure about the date because we recently just got a season of dream spirit, so its gonna be a while again before another dream spirit will come
I apologize for my earlier comment. As you can see it has now been deleted. I did not mean to say those things with an air of toxicity and I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings 😢 I love moths so much and I love helping them discover new things! (As long as it does not involve the Golden Wasteland 😂💀) I'm sorry again for my comment, I will try hard to be more understanding and less judgmental in the future. I realized it's something I need to work on. Thank you to everyone who replied on my earlier comment to help me see I was being mean. To the video creator: I am really sorry you had a bad experience. I hope it doesn't stop you from playing this fun game ❤ I'm very sorry. 🤦♀️ Love BellBerry 🥺
I also quit sky 2 years ago because: 1. All my friends also quit. 2.candle run is getting exhausting it's more of a requirement than having fun. 3.i do help moths but it's also exhausting some of them are nice but the others are also rude..
The game leans heavily on cosmetic, ‘cause if there’s any extra function for the paid items, it wouldn’t be fair to the f2p players. They try their best not to turn buying items into a race/competition. For p2p players, the paid items only look nicer, and that’s it. If there’s anything that give them an edge over the others, the game’d be broken in no time…
Sky is harsh game for newbies. They leaving game often after playing two days and seeing other players in fancy rare non obtainable ultimate cosmetics. Game doesn't really trying to help anyhow, and older players... Why we should risk another skykid in our constellation to be offline for eternity? We need someone who would at least light up our candle everyday. I don't denying moths, but never offering them friendship. And even after newbie is my friend, I naming him as "Moth" and leaving at constellation with lightened candles for once. Then I wait for it to light up my candle. If not lighten up after few days, I just block em. It's capitalism.🗿
I can't help but wonder how people have so many interesting cosmetics. I've been playing since release and I only have 3 capes. And truly Sky gives me some of the worst FOMO I've ever experienced. Pff, take a few months off because of life, welppp now you've missed so many events that you'll never get back.
Ive played for a while, but i dont have many cosmetics and havent done eden Im on the more anti social side Usually i try to light others candles but being sent a friend request by anybody right away can be a tad intimidating to me I do try my best tho I like people its just a little nerve wracking for me
Sorry i don't get why you complain about the travelling spirits that should come /g Respectful pianist was here during days of music Crab whisperer will be here very soon I think confetti cousin came back in the past And for dancing performer you're right that's an interesting video tho Have a great day
Ravery! Thank you so much for the feedback. I understand that you are suggesting the possibility of the arrival of the crab whisperer in the near future. The most recent encounter with the crab whisperer occurred a year ago, indicating that he has not visited since then. Additionally, the last visit from the confetti cousin took place approximately two years ago, while the dancing performer visited two years ago as well.
3:54 hey!! You got 1 of 4 wishes!! We love improvement!! Also I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure TGC let ppl know the two cameras only differ in aesthetic appearance. ♥️
I used to float, now I just fall down I used to know, but I'm not sure now What I was made for What was I made for? Takin' a drive, I was an ideal Looked so alive, turns out, I'm not real Just something you paid for What was I made for? 'Cause I, I I don't know how to feel But I wanna try I don't know how to feel But someday I might Someday I might Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm When did it end? All the enjoyment I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend It's not what he's made for What was I made for? 'Cause I, 'cause I I don't know how to feel But I wanna try I don't know how to feel But someday I might Someday I might Think I forgot, how to be happy Something I'm not, but something I can be Something I wait for Something I'm made for Something I'm made for
If you are a moth then make friends with other moths (why don't you give them a chance...) And I'm glad that TGC gives a chance to get something not only with real money
I only have two main friends I play with in Sky and I've been having a lot of Sky Blocks lately to the point I might even delete the game. I'm a returning player due to a crash on my previous device that made me delete the game and playing Sky with fresh eyes was like i was in 2020 again. 🥰 Now the game is slowly getting boring with my only two sky friends there making me keep going somehow. What I want for Sky is some more fun activities for solo players, new players, veterans etc, like: 1. Make candle running more fun and less like a chore by having more races, puzzles, songs to play, etc. Races are fun and so are puzzles and figuring out how to play music sheets. We all like those, right? *-speaking if races, I feel like the game should ask if you want to have a solo race or race with other players before you begin. I hate having races with other players at the flying race and waiting for someone else to join me at Hermit Hill. Let us have solo and multiplayer races choices before we begin.* 2. Pets sounds nice. I made my requests after reading someone elses. Credit to whoever suggested pets. Would be helpful to have a Light pet heal your wings and keep you company. If yall can't do that, then let the Manta plush heal my wings then. Make it more worth the 17 Hearts. 3. Hell, I dig being able to TALK and grow relationships with seasonal and vanilla spirits! That sounds fun for solo players. Maybe even let them give you a side quest like: "This-spirit needs a candle from That-other-spirit. Find That-other-spirit near Vault of Knowledge entrance to get a candle for This-spirit." Those side quests can help build a relationship and maybe even give you candles, hearts, or a spell as a thank you. 🥰 *-I feel like those side quest might also help with the Sky Lore cause it seems like the ancestors know each other if you watch certain memories closely.* 4. Keep the Aurora concert and make it like a once every month activity? We miss it and Season of Aurora was the season i rejoined Sky in. 🥹 What i'm saying is: More fun actives are needed! Also, PLEASE MAKE COLLECTING HEARTS MORE EASY! 😭 Its hard getting likes on my notes and memories cause i don't gett any! Make the hearts exactly like how y'all do candles. You're able to collect one heart for FREE (maybe) once a day from every seasonal Guide or one heart from every vanilla spirit for free once a day? But yeah, I'm done. :D
Ploblrms in sky *MY OPNION* 1st avairy Ye it,s nice and chaosy but it just feels like the last seosan 2cnd rude behavior So sky might have some rude pepole that might be rude to you 3rd TS BC THERE SO F*** RARE AND THERE EXPENSIVE AND WE CANT GET THE DAME TS AND SEASNOL SPIRITS
Here a veteran player... This game originally made to play without complex tutorial, its giving them freedom to explore themselves... But nowadays, kids or some players out there literally too used with tutorials for this and that. New players now also seems like they cant enjoy it because of how many players are too complete in their design, which make them insecure. TGC should make a special servers for them... Maybe they need an AI players to help them
I don't really understand the second point... like you got the cosmetics when the season ended, yay, good for you! Do you want these cosmetics to never be available again just because you're upset that a returning spirit came home instead of one you didn't have? I would cherish this moment to save my candles for other things, not complain that now newer players have the chance to get dreams cosmetics...And with the issue that they already came in 2022, that's just how the traveling spirit system works. TGC supposedly takes a batch of spirits that haven't returned in a year, and do the lottery to pick one of them. Deal with it. Not everyone wants an enchantment spirit to come home every so often, but at least it's not juggler coming home during little prince like in 2021. It's just an opportunity to give newer players cosmetics. You shouldn't be upset about being a vet and flexing that "oh my god it's not a new spirit oh no whatever will I do D:: I already had this spirit when the season was going on, woe is me." And with the players being mean, welcome to video games and 2023. People are toxic. And the reason a lot of people don't friend moths is because they don't necessarily want to get attached to them, guide them, etc just for them to leave after 5 days of playing. Instead of being upset that a spirit you have came, be happy newer players get to enjoy their cosmetics like you do! If you happen to come across a toxic player, just ignore them. Edit: for those spirtis you wish would come, two of them are coming. Pianist came during days of music, it's your fault if you missed them. Sparkler parent came not long ago, so there's not really a chance for confetti cousin. Dancing performer has a lot of controvsey about the hat, but it's mostly just bad luck honestly. Yeah you're upset about admiring actor? Well I actually enjoyed their pants a lot. Troupe greeter is also coming although he came in 2022. Enjoy. Note: I'm not trying to be mean in any way, just stating my opinion on the video :)
You’re so real for everything I had the same thoughts right now. Like some had already came over. And yeah the admiring actor isn’t so bad as people made it to be 😭😭😂
it all because of Chinese doujin they post some effect cool pose like couple. and Indian people thought it dating game. and they are all over sky community now. i meet so many Indian moth here looking for girl 🙄😌
I've only been playing for a few days. I have been grinding and grinding for just one little cape and then I found out that it is UNREASONABLY expensive. 30 Hearts. For the base cape but a different color. 😬 There are many aspects of this game I LOVE, but the negative aspects are burning me out already. Yikes, TGC...
honestly, I help moths through wasteland every time I candle run through there. I've lost a fair amount of wings taking hits for them, I wish them all the best in their journeys but I'm still socially awkward so I don't often friend people. I can't keep up discussions with them :( On another note: I wish there was a nonlethal option for moths learning about krill. Scares me half to death seeing them try to melt that one darkness plant out in the middle of the krill death field. I will also like to add I've gotten better at communication, I'm still terrible at it but I am trying to be more open to friending people in general (not just moths).
Honestly this is why I can't stand most veteran players. They can really be so fn rude..(not all but about 90% ive met). I've played now for almost a year and any moth that tries to light me up I welcome with open arms and accept all new friends. Then I do some blessings for them and they can enjoy a new cape for a while or new cute instrument. I have big love for moths because I use to be one!!💕💯
girl we need exculsivity things a lots of peoples cant afford or buy ..so only thing i can afford for excusivity is auroroa wings which is 24 usd but its i will but to look exclusive
because instead of putting exact sounding duplicated items, they could make something new and unique which everyone can buy.. plus not every new player is gonna look at the IAP instrument and know for sure that theres a free alternative, its pretty scammy if you ask me
Hi, I want to thank you so much for this video! You showed really important issues, especially about new players and how others feel about it. It must have taken a lot of courage to post this video because I think a lot of people disagree but I admire you a lot. I have the exact same opinion on this things, especially the rich players and Ikemen (they always annoyed me) so thanks a lot for this, now I know I'm not the only one who sees these big mistakes in Sky.
Huh.. I guess I’m not the only one facing this problem. I played the game since season of belonging but it get boring & repetitive overtime plus the toxicity in the game..
Yeah same :/ I myself had a great experience when I first started Sky some years ago with a veteran that introduced me to the areas. And i really want to return that experience to new players (and i have) but when 90% of them stop playing I always feel bad for blocking them to free up space 🙈🙈 i usually wait half a year to do it.
Yes I thought the same thing. I love the cape in this seasonal pack so much but the rest of the cosmetics ehhh not so fond of. When I hear of the white-colored camera (which I believe is the upgraded one) included in this pack, I was excited to think it can record the video because the old one is only for taking pictures, if anything to make the white one stand out, possibly could be it right. That’s why I thought of buying ss pack right away but when it turns out there are no much differences, I changed my mind 😅 not worth the money for only a cape
I have been playing for 4 years and never spend money, the sad thing is that it is easy for me to make friends with newbies using constellation items to look like "new" because some"vEteRaNs" feel like so special some of them once ignored me o rejected my friendship candle and it is ok for me, but like...why?, sky is to make friends, not to buy stuff and show off and ignore players, that is the opposite of the game purpose, newbies are way better for me, more easy to play with and I try to give them a nice journey through the realms and let them guide me, veterans just stand like 🗿 but newbies just want to discover and move around, more fun to me.
I am new to the game and I've only met great and nice people. I know I will eventually meet unkind ones but I hope not. I am already happy with the people I met :)
I’ve been waiting for months for one item I like that’s not paid because I’m not old enough to get job and it’s kinda slap in the face after I’ve e worked so hard to save in the first place💀
the lack of friends for me is crazy and especially since I have nobody to play sky with and the prices of everything really wants to make me quit from time to time honestly -moth

![Problem with Sky, Returning after long time [Sky: Children of The Light]](/img/tr.png)
some improvements i'm hoping for as someone who's been playing almost everyday for over 3 years:
- being able to pin or separate your fave emotes in order to access them quicker, and still keep the "last used" section. Or, even have settings where you can display between different listing options: as it is now, in the order of old to new emotes and vice versa, most used to least used etc.
- allowing us to carry more than one accessory!!! i have so many but i never use them as i always travel with torch (running out of flight power and looking for environmental charge points just slows the game too much). Especially now with the selfie feature, you have to constantly carry the camera in order to catch cool moments but now you can't carry instruments or charging items.
I feel like they should allow us to carry 3 items, eg: one for music/prop, one for camera, one for charging (then give you the option to toggle which to show on your back). This gives you the opportunity to make use of all your accessories (free, paid for, season pass etc) and not feel like you've wasted resources to invest in them only for it to gather dust. With this you can personalize your skykid way more, have more props for on the go selfies, and generally have more fun. No more going to home space to quickly change accessories.
Otherwise, TGC needs to incorporate more changing rooms throughout the maps so you can change accessories on the go if need be without teleporting.
- why not have the special event candles revert to normal candles once the event finishes? scam
- getting pretty tired of all the events and needing to watch youtube videos for updates. It's like you can't follow whats happeining in-game without following some kind of social media channel for updates. Have each event guide, well i don't know, GUIDE you more. If you have trouble, go to a guide for assistance (like the guide can come with a set of question options for you to choose from, Sims style) eg: click on guide, go to a question mark icon, and a whole set of prompts pop up, like "what are special event candles" "help i can't find candles please help me look for them" "what activities are available" "any time sensitive activities (like the concert every 15min at the anniversary)"
- i'ts been years and no other ways for collecting hearts? the old way is not working for a lot of players and so they have limited heart currency, not allowing them to buy certain cosmetics. Just introduce humanitarian activities which gifts hearts; eg, all daily tasks relating to friends - like hugging a friend etc - should reward hearts, not candles. Have a set of tasks dedicated to candle collecting (4) and another set to hearts (2). Other friendly activities may include: chatting with a friend for over ten minutes, help 5 players fully recharge their capes by deep calling, guide a moth, etc etc. Encourage good friendly behaviour with hearts!!!
- NO MORE CUTSCENES. I've been playing for so long, i'm tired of seeing them!! Skip button for ALL cutscenes (ESPECIALLY the flying boats in Valley)
- more options for camera angles. We have our standard 3rd person, how about a 1st person view? And please an overhead camera angle!! i hate going to Eden with the wonky moving camera, i just want a wide stable overhead view to see where im going and which statues to light
- this wll never happen, but im still so upset my seasonal pass snorkel mask is no different in ability to the "free" one. I wanted more underwater time!! I understand not wanting to give IAP players more of an advantage, but like, im paying money for an advantage arent i????? Same now with the free vs premium camera: why isn't there any difference? the whole "ultimate reward" is a scam, and a joke. Players invest actual MONEY for this TGC, just give them the advantage!!!! might even boost you sales!! Why can't the premium camera have more settings compared to the basic camera, like being able to add filters, Sky official stickers, and so on. YOU GIVE ULTIMATE REWARD A BAD NAME, TGC, WHAT A SHAM
- i hate doors needing +1 players to open it. Just slows the game, wastes time. Just allow players to light each door one at a time without it fading, is it such a big deal?
- PLEASE TGC, WE NEED FAST TRAVEL WE ARE BEGGING YOU. Allow players to have the ability to set up like 5 fast travel points which they can move around as they wish (personalize playing a bit more, especially for those of us with limited playing time and just wnating do get their daily candle run routine in)
- just make Do Not Disturb an actual feature and not a limited use spell we need to buy you greedy fuc-
- in-game ID. When you light a player and feel comfortable with sharing, you can show them your SKYkid ID (like a number, username etc) So when there's a case of neither you nor the other play have candles on hand to accept friend request, or you are scared of a server change, you have the option of a player identifying you other than befriending them. This can also allow players to identify & report troublemakers
- the cloud paths are ridiculously annoying to access, needs a bit polishing up. Maybe instead of clouds just have all the entrances on an island, each entrance leading to the cloud vortex for each realm? I understand the aesthetic and purpose of how it is now but it's impractical. Kinda just wish they had a separate easy to access homespace for the seasonal realms (going to hidden forest then to the flight realm and THEN going into the cloud vortex takes too much time and controlling the skykid while in the clouds is tricky)
- shall i suggest pets? little jellyfish, butterfly, birb companions you can equip to help you recharge on the way when u don't have friends to fly with. As a longterm solo player, it's a bummer not having the ability to recharge whilst flying, and sometimes the game gets lonely. I want a lil friend to join me on my travels but also not have me stress too muh about server issues and socializing
- introduce more permanent activities to interact with in-game to allow you to harvest more candles/hearts. Like the valley race just rewarding you one candle is a joke. Have many past seasonal activies which are still active (like in hidden forest) rewards candles.The more u play & interact = more currency. The reward system in this game needs a touch up. Players feel burnt out because they play long hours but still need to grind in order to afford cosmetics/ constellation/friendship trees. The currency system now isn't optimal; we need more sources for collecting candles.
there's more, but this is enough rambling for now.

Thank you so much for sharing your extensive insights and thoughts on the game. It's clear you've spent a great deal of time in this game... and your feedback is incredibly valuable. It's like you've crafted a comprehensive "wishlist" for enhancing the Sky experience. Your thoughtful suggestions resonate with many players, and who knows, some of these ideas might just find their way into future updates. Kudos for your dedication and creative ideas.
I liked your point of differentiated premium rewards, desiring distinct advantages for premium rewards to add value to purchases.
Your insights offer valuable perspectives.
Thank you so so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!
@@youviewsky and thank you for the wonderful and honest video!!! A lot of players in the community do feel rather dissatisfied but feel too bad to criticise the game as it's also been a great source of comfort for them (especially players as myself who played for the first time during Covid lockdown). There's always room for improvement and by voicing concerns we can encourage TGC to make changes for the better before they lose even more players who once found great joy in the world of Sky. I saddens me to see people leave!! So much potential for Sky, and the community really has some great ideas to offer
@coolbeans5911
Wow , I can see how much time you spent writing this , I spent 20 min reading it , And I agree with how burnt out this game becomes when you have to grind everyday for hard candles , I'd like to see your ideas in the game soon .
I hope this *essay* reachs TGC soon.
I'd definitely throw in a way to get a lot more hearts a lot more easily. I understand what they're trying for by encouraging people to befriend each other and get hearts that way, but it doesn't do much good if any friends people make never get to that point on the friendship tree or, worse yet, NEVER SHOW UP AGAIN! Maybe make dummy accounts a little easier to get to (especially for Switch players). As of right now, we'd have an easier time just hacking the game to get the hearts we need for the desired cosmetics, just to save ourselves the despair of never being able to get any hearts at all.
@@shadowstar8619That would beat the purpose of the game which is to have you interact with other players in order to progress. Also, as a free game, they don't want you to be done with it quickly, they will drag your grind as long as they can so you'll spend more time in the game and perhaps spend a little money on their stuff.
All I'm saying is, the only thing I want is the ability to pin my favorite emotes so I don't have to scroll a thousand miles everytime looking for them
this one i also agree n sprit things sometimes u dont wana relive a sprit but others are reliving it n u touch it somehow n now u also have to relive sprit while camera changing everything when u fly
SAME. It is so bad on Switch with that. I've yet to figure out how to use the upgraded emotes even
@@meiu7652on the switch you hold down the emote
This is a feature they should implement fastest
Shouldn't be so hard. And it's makes communication smooth

Thank you🥲
My only issue with sky is there is no unfriend button 🙃
How about an unfriend shotgun to deal with those bullies? bada ba boom... POW💥
@@garlicbreadstick6757 that would be perfect 😂
Tell them you want to play solo maybe and if they react in a bad way there's your opportunity to block them?
Yas cuz i have so many inactive moths
There’s a block button to block them. It’s kind of the same thing
I've noticed since season of assembly that the more the fanbase grows, the more likely bad players join. The game hasn't always been this bad when it comes to newbies, I personally spoil every new player I meet and treat them very kindly. The bugs however have been an issue for over a year, hopefully TGC finds ways to improve them.
Absolutely! It's incredible to see the fanbase growing, and with that comes a diverse mix of players.
Yup, and once the game becomes available on PC/Steam, it's going to attract even more toxic players/trolls. Especially because of PC/Steam (that's where you'll find the most amount of trolls).
Most players who have been around for years tend to not want to add new players because their friends list is GIGANTIC and its alot of candles to light on a daily basis
Not only that, but most new players stop playing, and you can’t remove them. I have a bunch of moths in my friend list that haven’t been online ever since I added them.
Maybe the game could benefit from introducing more engaging content to keep new players interested and active.
@@Luziiifer Removing friends would be very nice since I have friended many players that are not active at all. Or players whos candles I always lit in constellation but they don't never lit mine.
@@chuiga2935 I'm guilty of this, since normally I used to sign on and light alll the candles then leave and go home to refresh to light a whole bunch more, I did this atleast 3 times daily just to light all the friends on my list, then I just got tierd of it so now I usually only light whoever is currently online when I'm online. I know TGC didn't want to add a button to "auto light all" but they could atleast do that for all players who aren't in your favorite list. If im not mistaken they wanted to keep the process "personal" so u need to intentionally light a person's candle but, instead of being a lovable process is actually pretty tiring. Maybe if they rewarded a candle or two for completing them all as a new daily task it would feel like less of a burden but idk LOL. ( PS sorry for making you read this encyclopedia of a comment 😅)
@@dreameater7777 I love long comments :). Autolight option would be awesome if your sky is full of stars, tho I can understand why that isn't a thing. It's a huge task to light everyones candles. I also enjoy seeing some players how their looks changes. I don't mind that someone sometimes don't light the candle, but I find it pretty upsetting if I keep lighting their candle but they never light mine :c. I actually have only few stars who occasionally also light my star. That's why I would like to remove those that never log in the game anymore or just don't want to help others to (slowly) get some hearts.
the forced cutscenes and change of perspective really get ON MY NERVES
The first issue: I think the first person wasn't very rude when you went up to them and tried to friend them, it's not like they mocked you or anything...they just went away. There are many reasons as to why someone may not want a new friend, for example: 1. moths often go inactive after you friend them 2. I've had moths follow me around and beg for cosmetics/season passes, and treat me like their personal uber. 3. Friend constellation is full 4. you just don't want new friends/antisocial. It goes both ways. No harm in friending someone, no harm in them not wanting to friend you. The second person was kinda weird tho, but let's be honest: players like them aren't that common unless you go looking for them.
The traveling spirits: we DO get new spirits...did we all forget Narcissist showed up literally a week ago?? I think it's fair to interchange new traveling spirits and old ones because HELLO not everyone has been playing for the same amount of time. Weren't you just upset about how moths are treated? It's not a huge deal if a spirit you already got shows up, if anything you get to save your candles. The whole point of a traveling spirit is sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not. And the returning spirits! They literally fix your entire issue with not wanting old traveling spirits to return! By bringing back a bunch of spirits at the same time, TGC is making room for NEW ones to come through quicker.
And recolor items: Yeah? Just don't buy them LMAO the premium IAPs are mainly there to show your support to the company and they're like collector items in a way. You can take em or leave em.
I think this was a good counterpoint! I understand what you’re saying in the last paragraph and I agree, but at the same time I disagree. Personally, I don’t think the recolored instruments are the BIGGEST deal because it’s different than buying a seasonal pass, you know? You’re choosing to buy one specific item while season passes give you lots of stuff, even if you don’t like it. But it still is frustrating to see tgc pump out items that are already in-game.
The camera thing does frustrate me though. Because yes, you don’t have to buy the pass, but people that do want it have no choice but to get the camera too. Usually when buying a season pass, people buy it for the spirit’s cosmetics as well, not just ultimate rewards. If you’re going to include something in a package-deal, it might as well be worth the money. People buy the season pass for unique cosmetics, so if the ultimate reward is a duplicate, you can see why someone would be upset. I think the camera should’ve been replaced and turned into an item that you can buy with candles, like the performance mask. (I don’t know if any of that made sense, I had to edit it a lot bc I didn’t wanna come across as mean!)
Again, I agree with you on literally everything else 😭
I agree. I thought this video would be validating but it mostly reminded me of how much more moderate and yielding I am to the issues of Sky and just enjoy it for what it is and get out of it what I want when I want. Simple as that. I also like to play alone, but enjoy company when there are people around.
I agree with the not befriending moths thing.
When I made my alt account I added like 15 moths, and only 2 were still playing. If a new player approaches me and tries to add me it's enough to do a bow to decline. Sometimes I just explain the game to them without adding.
You have a good point 👏👏👏
YOUR FRIEND CONSTELLATION CAN GET FULL????????????????????????
This is why I research IAPs before I even consider buying them. Also, an emote finder definitely wouldn't hurt :'D
Sky does have a number of problems, and I also love the game.
One of the main points of the game is socialization, but socialization is locked behind candles. I get that is their way of trying to encourage people to engage with the game, but if the choice is between spending candles on being social with a stranger who you don’t even know if you want to be friends with or buying on a cool cosmetic you want, then I would go with the cosmetic.
The IAPs are too expensive. I get it, tgc wants to make money, but $29.99 for a VIRTUAL item is too much. That much money for a cute little plushie? I’d rather just purchase one in real life for the same price. IMO IAPs should be more like $4.99 - $9.99 MAX.
The game is repetitive. If you aren’t invested in your sky friends or in getting cosmetics, there really is nothing there. I wish tgc would add in more creative ways to play the game. I wouldn’t even mind mini quests. “Go find the special pink crab and bring it to this special place or spirit” or “find a special song to unlock a secret area with more lore” or whatever. They might be bad examples but honestly there needs to be more game there. You can only play so much Toss the Crab Plushie, sit at so many tables, or run the same cr over and over again before it starts getting old.
the creator of the video didnt note that the guitar pack also comes with 50 (might be more) candles which ramps up the price. it also is balanced with the candles being added to an ULT (season pass price) which is what the original guitar was. the Og elec guitar will never return
Thiss
Well that's why it's more f2p friendly because the IAP items are just different skins so if you don't have money you can just go with the free. At least I think.
The game is not f2p friendly even for the "free" stuff you need to farm a lot and the prices just getting higher and higher doesn't help
@@TheGalaxyEnder do you have to pay money to play?
I was expecting someone to say this no I dont need money to play but using money being the only healthy way of getting the stuff is way worse so dont say that again youre just making them more greedy than they already are
@@TheGalaxyEnder maybe you just dont like the game? if you need to pay for advantage to enjoy it while thousands of players dont makes me think you dont like it
@@noodle7380 ok it's pointless to talk with you enjoy your moral superiority bubble I used to love the game but not anymore I hate the people like you who are part of this community accepting even the worst stuff TGC does like it's ok
With the ever-growing popularity of Sky, we're seeing a delightful mix of players like some veterans who have been here for around 2 years, others loyal to the game from its early days on the Switch, and a constant influx of newcomers also joining. So, when it comes to the travelling spirits, we have a unique situation. For new players, encountering them is an exciting novelty, while for seasoned players with comprehensive collections, it presents a challenge since they already possess the cosmetics. To create a harmonious experience for both new and old players, perhaps we could consider giving a chance to some of the older travelling spirits. This way, everyone can find joy.
The biggest issue i see is TGC lack of care about fixing their broken game is unbelievable that after 2 years a lot of glitches bugs performance issues havent been touch running players including me experience but lets not talk about the benefit ones because they work their life to fix those
me and my friend literally got stuck outside of eden’s map and we both lost all of our wings because we were forced to restart the game :/
A lot of new players come to the game. I get at least a moth a day trying to friend me. And most often we haven't had any interaction at all- they just light me up and immediately add me as a friend. I don't accept because we have barely interacted, and I don't want them to waste their candles on me. But I always do the "no" emote and then the "kiss" emote to let them know it's not because of something about them. If I've got time I'll set up a table to chat with them and let them know why. However if it's a moth I've interacted with or helped through a realm I'm glad to accept friendship. That's my attitude towards it right now :)
Honestly as someone who played this game alone for a long long time I recommend that moths play by themselves at least for a couple months maybe even a year like I did. Because a lot of the time it isn’t even fun to have friends who just show you where everything is. You can’t enjoy the game if all you’re doing is holding someone’s hand. It’s also not fun having to take someone through every part of the map and explaining everything that you have already done or been doing for years. The creators and a lot of players push this multiplayer and friendship stuff so much that people think they cannot make it on their own. Even my own group kind of pushes it. Sometimes I just don’t want to hold their hand I like being near them and able to chat but not restricted from the map. And I’m kind of forced too. And if you’re not overly positive 1000% or the time they will immediately take offense because you’re not allowed to show your real personality in the game. Having friends in the game is so unnecessarily complicated that at this point moth or not I will not be accepting anyone at the moment. I feel like you should be forced to go through all maps before you’re allowed to join multiplayer. Like not forced to do all the spirits just open all the portals.
I also do hope elders and ultimate gifts are reworked, as I feel the whole “you had to be there to get the ultimates” heavily relies on FOMO.
The issue is though that you don’t wanna take away the effort from those who earned it via the season and making an alt version goes against the idea so that’s off the table.
I think a good solution would be to have something in orbit similar to the other elders, where you complete all the spirits (I.E. Buy everything from the TSes associated with the season), you can buy their ultimate gifts (probably for a lot of ascended candles). This way people aren’t excluded from the items because they weren’t there and the put more effort in to actually get them so those who earned them in the season don’t feel cheated as much.
Idk it’s a difficult thing to balance and maybe some day these items won’t be locked to the void.
I’m not really sure if my idea is the best,
#1 hits so hard. My sky philosophy is exactly what that random said: We were all new once. And if that ONE person stuck around and hung out with me then I wouldn't feel the need to say this.
One way to circumvent this: don't get chibi mask 1st. Spring for the table/chair, like I did. Made things way easier! Only unlock chats with regulars you see are on pretty often. MANAGE your favorite friends list constellations (move out inactives :'( ) and do NOT be afraid to tele to an online friend. Even when there busy stopping by to bow or even say hey always brightens my day! ❤
I may adress few issues with this video and that is the understanding of Sky. The game itself does not have much of a content, true, but majority of times you do something, you do it yourself. Try looking at it as making your own content rather than waiting endlessly to get one on a silver plate ^-^. It represents how real life works so much. You can sit in middle of nowhere and do nothing or go into beautiful area and try playing an instrument. Maybe you find an instrument that you like. Maybe you realize that for some songs are other instruments better than the other. So yes, the game has little of actual content, but every time I turn the game on I have more things to do than what I will actually do. Next up is the playerbase. A game that is free to play allows different people to come and play. I have heard of toxic people and also I have seen them. But it is much like real life anyway (mentioned above). Sorry that you couldnt find friends but as to what you showed, that is not how you are making friends. Sorry that some people treat you badly, I never myself did that. If I see a moth that automatically tries to befriend me I kindly appreciate the moment with some lovely emotes but I politely decline. Exception is when I see a moth having trouble with the area, then I let everything I had in plan and help them. Another thing are API items. To talk to example of the guiltar, I did not even know we had a blue variant as well @.@ I thought there was just one. Other items are more for the player base. There are people that will pay a bit of money for something that is bit extra, I am that kind of a person that buys some things just because they look bit better than the other. To say that TGC is 'looting' is bit more dramatized than what I would say. We have content creators all over beta that talk about new things since they are in WIP level of development so we know exactly what we are dealing with. Traveling spirits. Traveling spirits come back by chance, there isnt a pre-set cycle of all the spirits that could come at some point. Yes, players had issues with it and TGC is now making events when 4 spirits come at the time. Out of 4 spirits mentioned that were shown in the video, Pianist was here during days of music, not so long ago, and crab whisperer will be comming by soon enough. I do believe I covered most for the things mentioned in the video. For those 3 people that got at the end of this comment: I am sorry that you had to read trough all of it ; - ; . Cheers o/
Don't worry about the length xD
And I agree with you, everything depends on the pov of the player, in my case I like to do the daily cr and wish to finish all the main constellation, but I hope for this content creator to find good people or any spark of joy that makes him forget about this aspects mentioned.
Anyways. I hope you have a great day and see you in Sky xD
So true
A good tip for meeting people on sky is to do eden runs! Usually people are really kind and eager to help you. It's hard for me not to run into a bunch of people and complete the run with them lol
This is not limited to toxic players alone. A substantial number of long-term Sky players, spanning approximately one year, have extensive social circles within the game. They often play in groups. So, they may find themselves preoccupied and may not have sufficient availability to guide newcomers.
My only problems with sky is it has too much camera movement causing me to constantly have to keep swiping to get it to the angle i want, and you cant adjust camera sensitivity
Wow 0:48 I got mentioned here hehe. Many toxic players indeed i can testify to that wayback when i was a moth. Its rare to find genuine friends unless u become a vet urself coz many judge you by your appearance/ attire in the game thats why i bought IAP to kinda feel good and never looked down upon by the way my skykid looked (sad reality even irl). Im trying to keep up and stay in the game since i have a goal and few nice people i got acquianted to. My faith stands til this day that there are nice players still coz i met them occasionally 😊
This sounds so insane to me. Imagine caring that much about other people's outfits to the point you bully them. I'm sad that you felt pressured into doing so, honestly people like that don't deserve to have friends who are way more humble about it all like you are. I only started to play a month ago and so far i've met nice people, fortunately, and i did made some vet friends aswell.
I can't also understand how so many people think its okay to pay 20-30€ for ONE single item. It's outrageous and and i feel like it's so common in sky. Seriously that's like the cost of almost 2 meals where i live.
Hii we can be friends:D IF you are ok ..❤
in all my time of being a sky player, i’ve seen plenty of toxicity. but there’s one person i saw that was so irredeemably toxic that i quite genuinely felt that they didn’t deserve this game. they took the cake
It was a message boat near the return shrine, in which they were trying to justify making traveling spirits IAP.
They had the logic that “It’s not us vets’ fault that we were here during the season and got special stuff.” They acted like all veterans had the money to buy the season pass when a season was there, and like all vets had the money to buy traveling spirit things too.
this was back in mid-2021.
:) we deserve a bag to pick the tools we need to take with us.
Honestly the most fun I have is with Eden, which is why I hope more content with risk like Eden is added.
Also I’m still annoyed that pretty much everything from shattering is locked off, since that season didn’t have spirits in the normal sense.
shattering ts have been confirmed to come back they are just figuring out a way to do it and we havent had a chance for them to come yet. ts are semi random from the entire pool and newer season ts are incredibly rare. we've only just had two from flight come and shattering is after flight
@@ParadoxicallyTranquil The only way I can see them doing it in a way that fits is that they make an alternate memory area for the associated ts
@@gushcraftgaming i could see that yeah. Idk tgc will figure it out/has already and we will find out when they roll around as a ts
I'm one of those veterans that run away when moths ask for friendship. I use the "no" and "bowing" emote to say sorry (when I can actually find them, bruh), then leave.
I don't have any ill intention, I just prefer to play solo and the horizontal keybord makes it hard for me to type. Hopefully the pc version will make it less awkward and also less battery-consuming to chill in a game meant to chill around.
If you think TGC is looting us... trust me it's not. The guitar, harp and electric guitar is probably mainly there for players that weren't able to get those instruments like the guitar, and there's still another way to get them right? Some games don't even give you another choice other than buying stuff. It's not like they force you to buy it, right? there's always another way to get it
This!!! It's a free game without adds where 99% of items are possible without paying. You just actually have to play the game. The few items that to get you do have to pay for is how the game makes money.
Im sorry you had a bad experience with sky. It makes me angry that some of the community would act that way. I promise you not all of us are like that. I hope in time, maybe you give the game another chance. But its totally up to you. Have a nice morning/ noon/ night :)
I'm a season of Performance moth, I didn't know to do dailies or candle run at all-- I missed out on a lot of the cosmetics :(
I feel a lot of burnout so I took a hiatus for the season of Passage, and when you do buy the pass you feel OBLIGATED to drag yourself through the game to get your money's worth. Also the price of some cosmetics are INSANE (their merch store too). The game felt so magical and stunning when I first played, everything was so fun and the quests I did for every season kept me occupied until I had nothing to do really :,)
ill give my own imput and its not meant to be mean or anything do not take it out of context.
as someone who codes, designed small games etc, looked at game, what makes them tick; for the point of things being the same, i have something to say. idk what the reason was for the performance instruments exactly but when it comes to these items that act the same, like seasonal items, ill give one good reason, TGC wanted to be fair to their playerbase, especially with the camera, and diving mask. both were very important milestones, one adding the underwater mechanic in the game, the other added the new camera feature (tbh its kinda cool i can now take good pictures on switch now lol).
but as stated it was to be fair to the playerbase. TGC listens to their player base and responds accordingly.
however i do have something to say about the TGC guitar, yes its cool but also im asking the same question . . . _why?_ i do agree for that one there's no reason it should sound the same (who knows it might eventually change)
another thing is i'm sad that as a normal player that is a switch veteran (coined it, been playing since it launched on the switch), that some instruments, those being the ULT instruments i will never own. at least the aurora instrument was unique . . .
in short 3 things, TGC wants to be fair, yes they are trying to milk us (idm as long as it keeps this game running and i get cool cosmetics), and that sometimes what TGC decides is very strange indeed. i will always love this game and even though cr and wl runs are sometimes a pain . . . the friends around the world i have met via sky . . . i can't replace them and that is the true meaning behind sky. to unite players around the world and to prove that there is truly kind people still out there ^^
So I think a big issue that a lot of people don't like to talk about is how friending new players can be exhausting considering you have to type everything out to explain everything there is in the game. Like don't get me wrong. Making friends with new plays is great and i enjoy it. But I do get sick of typing. They need to make voice chat for everyone. Especially mobile players. I can talk ton my PS. But most peeps play on mobile so it kinda sucks typing all the time. With love❤
Call of duty Mobile has voice chat. So I don’t understand why they can’t add it. Make it to where you can only use voice chat with friends or people you allow. Having to type while flying is so frustrating especially on a tiny little phone screen
I guess it depends on the types of players too. When I got confused I went to UA-cam and the wiki lol, but I’ve been teaching some friends to play and only 1 has picked it up intuitively. The other 2 are very new and I think are after something more linear, but I’m walking them through wasteland this week. (Which scares me as it is already) But yeah it is dependent on the players themselves. Getting help is great, but no one is necessarily obligated to give it. 😵💫
Only thing i find with people wanting more out of more 'premium' versions of items, is it just locks even more behind a paywall, and free-to-play players are gonna find it even harder to keep up, the alternative versions are simply just to give a little extra flare to those who can afford it
I AGREE WITH THIS,i slightly disagree with the second one, but anyways, the third one, i agree. I cant say mucu since i havent played the game again in over a year, but, TGC should get more creative on usage + items + instruments, i feel like they should make more new musical stuff instead of repeating, or just, not making it at all and if they do repeat it atleast dont make it AP or IAP, theres def hundreds of instruments they most likely havent made (prove me if im wrong :))
I just feel like, as a 2021 player, that sky is getting more and more greedy + repetitive, they keep trying to add new stuff and seasonal candles are so strict that if you like dont even log in for 3 days you might not be able to complete said season, which i guess why traveling spirits are there, they also do AMAZING seasons like season of abyss that had a new mechanic of swimming underwater and i LOVED that but i feel like they never really did anything more with that mechanic.
Crab whisperer and respectful pianist had got the chance already now let sky company give chance to Dancing proforma
Can you specify the "toxic" behavior towards newcomers? If its because some veterans dont want to add moths as a friend, or when some people suddenly left, i see no problem in doing so. As veteran myself my friendlist is full, and most moths i met just become inactive after 3 days to 1 week after playing sky, some of moths who sticks around become a jerk and begging for me to buy cosmetics and Adventure Pass for them and being rude, some of them turned out a pe*v*rt and preying over my friend who was a minor, this made me really selective when adding people in sky. Also People dont have obligation to befriend every new player are they? Its good if they do it, but they are not obligated to do so.
I know you didn’t complain about reoccurring traveling spirits and then shown 3 traveling spirits who have appeared multiple times already saying you need them😭😭😭
Exactly...
This just shows how cursed and broken ts system is. Reoccurring spirits are bad because they prevent you from getting new stuff. However, you can also really, really want some of the stuff the previous ts have. Thus, reoccurring spirits are bad, but them not returning is bad as well. In my opinion, most of the stuff ts offer should always be accessible
@@nastya8452 ?????
@@lexderp2766 what do you not understand?
@@nastya8452 the original poster complained about traveling spirits never returning, then showed spirits who HAVE returned multiple times
The first point has been an issue for a while, and I think the reason is fairly simple. New players are more likely to be trolls and are often cruel, and those that aren't often quit early. The other thing is in early days I don't want new players wasting candles on friending people when we might not even speak the same language. Sky players are majority kind to everyone. But 'kind" does not mean "willing to be friends." And I don't think that will ever change in the game. However it's easy to make friends using the discord server. Literately just typing 'I'm a new player, does anyone want to play with me" and you'll get so many people offering.
One mechanic I don't like is that after you beat eye of Eden you have to get all your wings back
Wow, tgc is definitely awful gor making a 2nd electric guitar for players who weren't around for that season. I hate them so much for giving me the opportunity to actually play songs that only sound good with that guitar for once. And I definitely hate that tgc didn't add any extra features to the ultimate camera, so that free players aren't excluded from the fun! Especially since this is a new permanent feature. And thank you so much for showing beta content with no warning, so we can all know exactly what to expect with absolutely 0 surprise.
cry more
This is exactly the reason! I can tell your sarcasm from here haha! If TGC made them unique, players would complain that one feature has favoritism and impossible to get. TGC makes them the same, and people complain it’s just looting players
For the camera, I kinda wish the ult has a record func though. However, since it's an ult, it is very not fair to lock any extra features from future players
i played sky cotl for the longest time, but i stopped playing just last year. i just couldnt handle the seasons. every season, it was a repetitive and boring process to try and collect season candles, just logging in and running around every, single, day. when a spirit returns, i run around and collect normal candles, which is also very repetitive and boring.
i think the game is wonderful, but its not meant to be played for a long period of time. play through it a few times, meet some new people, and just end it off with "wow, that was a cool game, lets move on." the problem i have with it is that tgc clearly tries to get players to stay, and tries to make players run around and repeatedly collect candles (like what i used to do).
i just wish the game had less grinding. the atmosphere is so calm and relaxing, but the only thing i really felt when i rushed to collect seasonal items was stress.
Giving us so much expressions with no way to sort them??? I want to personalize emotes....
Also I think the instruments that sound the same would seem less scummy if they give people BIG disclaimers or reminder that their counterparts all sound the same, and it's just for style. I would buy the fledgling harp as it looks pretty 🌸 but no money
I was thinking about the store item versus the free items the other day when I seen the surfboard. I feel no game mechanics like that should be locked behind paywall n there should be a free earnable version that just a grey bland color but it had me thinking of how to make the store versions of items be worth it for those who by them n a good idea would be if they have effect coming off them like how level 2 n 4 emotes work compared to there level 1 n 3 counterpart.
Is surfboard free?
@@isacharm nope it seems to be a shop item but it's the beta so theres a small chance that could change but I doubt it
@@BKMY215 oh really? it's so disheartening to learn that it might not be available for free.
Or to be a better enhanced version. Like the simple surferboard to just glide slowly like now, but the payed one to always go really fast.
There also generally rude players, as I play since release the community changed so much, I remember as all started as moth all would help, now now one helping, all grinding cosmetics, run through other players, stay stand beside geyser or on the granny table ( I speak not from real afk players they work or have other tasks) there literally people talk or make bulky emotes or run through other players but never help… it’s sad that people can’t behave and be kind, I miss the old nice sky community.
To be honest, I always feel scared making new friends in sky, they might think I'm boring 😅
another thing that I'm not sure anyone's pointed out is the pressure of candle running and being " active " in game when doing wax events, even including the afk wax areas. they keep removing the ability to sit down and just collect wax ( by removing the shared spaces in certain areas ) and it burns me out a bit more when playing sky bc some ppl like me don't have the energy all the time to do full crs, and doing the afk wax helped a lot with that.
For me I personally stopped adding moth looking cuz they leave always... I rather be alone then to be abandoned again....
Sometimes when the call me a rude name I grab their hand and throw them in a random portal🙂
I want:
- an unfriend button
- to organise my emotes
- cosmetics to be cheaper. The cape of days of colour that I wanted was 177 candles. That's more than a full week grinding 20 candles a day for ONLY the cape.
My sister also mentioned that TGC is very quick to fix bugs that benefit players such as a glitch where players were able to get more seasonal candles than they should, and they removed it and all extra candles within 3 days. However if you have an issue or there's a common glitch then don't expect to hear from them.
Also the new 5th anniversary cape will be like 30 dollars. I can buy entire different games for that money that will entertain me with amazing storylines, RPG or combat for that money: horizon zero dawn, the new RE4, it takes two, etc. I don't care that it has special effects, there's no justifying making one cosmetics piece, not even a set, 30 entire dollars.
I do think we get a lot of nice free cosmetics, but I've only been playing since april and I'm already losing interest with the amount of grinding I have to do EVERYDAY to keep up being f2p and wanting some (not all) cosmetics.
About instruments that sound the same but looks different, a Switch pack had an instrument that sounds the same like the Pull -up spirit from season of passage.. and again, the whole thing costs money and yet don't feel difference playing the instruments.
the switch pack came with switch release so you couldnt even buy the ocarina unless you had a switch. TGC made the ocarina more accessable by placing it in a season
All of these are fair and honest points. Certainly in the end, Sky is a product made to make people cash-in or at least spend more playtime on it. I play sky for periods of time and I sometimes just stop playing to reduce fomo. I’m sorry to say there isn’t a proper conclusion, because it’s all how you play the game as. Some are rich, some don’t have time. It isn’t a game for everyone. Good video for discussion!
"Sorry I don't talk newbies, because I don't want to feel old" dude wtf? I mean I'm also old player but, what a shame of being old player? And make moth sad :/
I understand your problems here. I have that problems too. As 2020 and F2P player, Sky gets too much about money more than social. I do cr 15 candles a day and I done it less than a hour. So I can be rich, but at same time, it’s little greedy. Also, I sometimes get mad when the most likely cosmetics are IAP and UA-camr says about it: “oh look, it’s so cool. Guys, you must buy this”. Dude, this is so frustrating to other players and Sky UA-camrs don’t care about it. As solo player, TGC must also pay attention to those players, because they like to be with one person or alone just like me. I don’t like bullies(toxic people) and strict people. Speaking of the twin cosmetics, I like that they add those things so F2P players can have fun with it, I don’t care about the differences. About seasons, they are really so great to me and I can do there what I want. Ts comes with chance too, but other thing is that when it’s the same, you can save your candles for next one. You should just focus some personal opinion of other players than yourself, so we can love this game just like me.
i'm a new player, but i wish the controls were a little more precise, cus the parkour in the trials are killing me ☠
Petition for Dancing performer ( season of dreams ) to become TS is dream yet to become plss I've been waiting patiently this whole time this😑😣 plss become TS already❤
Right ;(
nah, maybe september or december
@@zumomakiari seriously?
@@PetRock-cz3xu not sure about the date because we recently just got a season of dream spirit, so its gonna be a while again before another dream spirit will come
@zumomakiari do you have any info about next TS? If its bringing something good I'll start doing cr.
I apologize for my earlier comment. As you can see it has now been deleted. I did not mean to say those things with an air of toxicity and I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings 😢
I love moths so much and I love helping them discover new things! (As long as it does not involve the Golden Wasteland 😂💀) I'm sorry again for my comment, I will try hard to be more understanding and less judgmental in the future. I realized it's something I need to work on. Thank you to everyone who replied on my earlier comment to help me see I was being mean. To the video creator: I am really sorry you had a bad experience. I hope it doesn't stop you from playing this fun game ❤ I'm very sorry. 🤦♀️
Love BellBerry 🥺
I also quit sky 2 years ago because:
1. All my friends also quit.
2.candle run is getting exhausting it's more of a requirement than having fun.
3.i do help moths but it's also exhausting some of them are nice but the others are also rude..
I saw the Philippines flag 1:40 and im so proud because i see the flag of my country
The game leans heavily on cosmetic, ‘cause if there’s any extra function for the paid items, it wouldn’t be fair to the f2p players. They try their best not to turn buying items into a race/competition. For p2p players, the paid items only look nicer, and that’s it. If there’s anything that give them an edge over the others, the game’d be broken in no time…
Sky is harsh game for newbies. They leaving game often after playing two days and seeing other players in fancy rare non obtainable ultimate cosmetics.
Game doesn't really trying to help anyhow, and older players...
Why we should risk another skykid in our constellation to be offline for eternity? We need someone who would at least light up our candle everyday.
I don't denying moths, but never offering them friendship. And even after newbie is my friend, I naming him as "Moth" and leaving at constellation with lightened candles for once. Then I wait for it to light up my candle. If not lighten up after few days, I just block em.
It's capitalism.🗿
to lonely people: discord is a good place to find friends to play with :)
I can't help but wonder how people have so many interesting cosmetics. I've been playing since release and I only have 3 capes. And truly Sky gives me some of the worst FOMO I've ever experienced. Pff, take a few months off because of life, welppp now you've missed so many events that you'll never get back.
1:07 the turtle accessory is $19.99?!? I did a double take at how expensive that is 😱
its a part of a candle package so its about 75 ish candles + the turtle
Ive played for a while, but i dont have many cosmetics and havent done eden
Im on the more anti social side
Usually i try to light others candles but being sent a friend request by anybody right away can be a tad intimidating to me
I do try my best tho
I like people its just a little nerve wracking for me
نعم الامر يبدو مخيفا عندما لا تكون معتادا على ذلك كنت اشعر بهذا ايضا الى ان اعتدت الامر
Sorry i don't get why you complain about the travelling spirits that should come /g
Respectful pianist was here during days of music
Crab whisperer will be here very soon
I think confetti cousin came back in the past
And for dancing performer you're right
that's an interesting video tho
Have a great day
Ravery! Thank you so much for the feedback.
I understand that you are suggesting the possibility of the arrival of the crab whisperer in the near future. The most recent encounter with the crab whisperer occurred a year ago, indicating that he has not visited since then. Additionally, the last visit from the confetti cousin took place approximately two years ago, while the dancing performer visited two years ago as well.
@@youviewsky i see, thanks for the information!
@@youviewsky crab whisperer was literally just confirmed to be a returning spirit so cheers
@@youviewskyWait TWO YEARS AGO?? Oh my god it feels like yesterday
@youvieww Tsses are picked randomly though, so you can't really get mad at TGC for returning tsses, it's not like they choose them
3:54 hey!! You got 1 of 4 wishes!! We love improvement!! Also I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure TGC let ppl know the two cameras only differ in aesthetic appearance. ♥️
Want to be friends? I play regularly.
I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know, but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out, I'm not real
Just something you paid for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might
Mm, mm-mm, aah-ooh
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?
'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday I might
Someday I might
Think I forgot, how to be happy
Something I'm not, but something I can be
Something I wait for
Something I'm made for
Something I'm made for
If you are a moth then make friends with other moths (why don't you give them a chance...) And I'm glad that TGC gives a chance to get something not only with real money
When u are your friend is doing Eden and u both get sent to the bathrooms
"Sorry, i dont talk to newbies"
Bro, you're wearing a moth cloak, you cant be talking.
sometimes it’s better when playing alone, because no one can bother you
unless you’re in golden wasteland. then you’ll probably need some assistance.
i adopted so many moffs, they are too cute :O
HOW do i get that surfboard??
It's cool. I think it will be available during days of summer
Days of sunlight!
@@mojojojo591 thank you!
@@youviewsky thank you!
Can't wait
I only have two main friends I play with in Sky and I've been having a lot of Sky Blocks lately to the point I might even delete the game. I'm a returning player due to a crash on my previous device that made me delete the game and playing Sky with fresh eyes was like i was in 2020 again. 🥰
Now the game is slowly getting boring with my only two sky friends there making me keep going somehow. What I want for Sky is some more fun activities for solo players, new players, veterans etc, like:
1. Make candle running more fun and less like a chore by having more races, puzzles, songs to play, etc.
Races are fun and so are puzzles and figuring out how to play music sheets. We all like those, right?
*-speaking if races, I feel like the game should ask if you want to have a solo race or race with other players before you begin. I hate having races with other players at the flying race and waiting for someone else to join me at Hermit Hill. Let us have solo and multiplayer races choices before we begin.*
2. Pets sounds nice. I made my requests after reading someone elses. Credit to whoever suggested pets. Would be helpful to have a Light pet heal your wings and keep you company. If yall can't do that, then let the Manta plush heal my wings then. Make it more worth the 17 Hearts.
3. Hell, I dig being able to TALK and grow relationships with seasonal and vanilla spirits! That sounds fun for solo players. Maybe even let them give you a side quest like: "This-spirit needs a candle from That-other-spirit. Find That-other-spirit near Vault of Knowledge entrance to get a candle for This-spirit."
Those side quests can help build a relationship and maybe even give you candles, hearts, or a spell as a thank you. 🥰
*-I feel like those side quest might also help with the Sky Lore cause it seems like the ancestors know each other if you watch certain memories closely.*
4. Keep the Aurora concert and make it like a once every month activity? We miss it and Season of Aurora was the season i rejoined Sky in. 🥹
What i'm saying is:
More fun actives are needed!
Also, PLEASE MAKE COLLECTING HEARTS MORE EASY! 😭
Its hard getting likes on my notes and memories cause i don't gett any! Make the hearts exactly like how y'all do candles. You're able to collect one heart for FREE (maybe) once a day from every seasonal Guide or one heart from every vanilla spirit for free once a day?
But yeah, I'm done. :D
This game has a truckload of issues, And most are really easy ro fix and im shocked they were not fixed years ago...
normally when i see a newbie i get excited and adpot them cuz i can i have many moth as my children lmao i also find time to spend with my friends too
Ploblrms in sky *MY OPNION*
1st avairy
Ye it,s nice and chaosy but it just feels like the last seosan
2cnd rude behavior
So sky might have some rude pepole that might be rude to you
3rd TS
BC THERE SO F*** RARE AND THERE EXPENSIVE AND WE CANT GET THE DAME TS AND SEASNOL SPIRITS
I add friendd as a moth,because if im dressed as an ike,I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE!
Just get 5 ordinary hearts cheaper unless you want to be fancy for harp
Waste of money
personally I think it’s fun 2 make fun of moths I only make fun of them if they’re bein annoyin tho. Peak entertainment.
I agree xD
3:52 Respectiful pianist was a traveling spirit in days of music
But nice video!
I love talking to new players they are so fresh and fun and they follow you around i love it
Here a veteran player...
This game originally made to play without complex tutorial, its giving them freedom to explore themselves... But nowadays, kids or some players out there literally too used with tutorials for this and that.
New players now also seems like they cant enjoy it because of how many players are too complete in their design, which make them insecure. TGC should make a special servers for them... Maybe they need an AI players to help them
I don't really understand the second point... like you got the cosmetics when the season ended, yay, good for you! Do you want these cosmetics to never be available again just because you're upset that a returning spirit came home instead of one you didn't have? I would cherish this moment to save my candles for other things, not complain that now newer players have the chance to get dreams cosmetics...And with the issue that they already came in 2022, that's just how the traveling spirit system works. TGC supposedly takes a batch of spirits that haven't returned in a year, and do the lottery to pick one of them. Deal with it. Not everyone wants an enchantment spirit to come home every so often, but at least it's not juggler coming home during little prince like in 2021. It's just an opportunity to give newer players cosmetics. You shouldn't be upset about being a vet and flexing that "oh my god it's not a new spirit oh no whatever will I do D:: I already had this spirit when the season was going on, woe is me." And with the players being mean, welcome to video games and 2023. People are toxic. And the reason a lot of people don't friend moths is because they don't necessarily want to get attached to them, guide them, etc just for them to leave after 5 days of playing. Instead of being upset that a spirit you have came, be happy newer players get to enjoy their cosmetics like you do! If you happen to come across a toxic player, just ignore them.
Edit: for those spirtis you wish would come, two of them are coming. Pianist came during days of music, it's your fault if you missed them. Sparkler parent came not long ago, so there's not really a chance for confetti cousin. Dancing performer has a lot of controvsey about the hat, but it's mostly just bad luck honestly. Yeah you're upset about admiring actor? Well I actually enjoyed their pants a lot. Troupe greeter is also coming although he came in 2022. Enjoy.
Note: I'm not trying to be mean in any way, just stating my opinion on the video :)
You’re so real for everything I had the same thoughts right now. Like some had already came over. And yeah the admiring actor isn’t so bad as people made it to be 😭😭😂
The thing with the two cameras is like the “Daniel, The Cooler Daniel” meme
it all because of Chinese doujin they post some effect cool pose like couple. and Indian people thought it dating game. and they are all over sky community now. i meet so many Indian moth here looking for girl 🙄😌
I've only been playing for a few days. I have been grinding and grinding for just one little cape and then I found out that it is UNREASONABLY expensive. 30 Hearts. For the base cape but a different color. 😬
There are many aspects of this game I LOVE, but the negative aspects are burning me out already. Yikes, TGC...
honestly, I help moths through wasteland every time I candle run through there. I've lost a fair amount of wings taking hits for them, I wish them all the best in their journeys but I'm still socially awkward so I don't often friend people. I can't keep up discussions with them :(
On another note: I wish there was a nonlethal option for moths learning about krill. Scares me half to death seeing them try to melt that one darkness plant out in the middle of the krill death field. I will also like to add I've gotten better at communication, I'm still terrible at it but I am trying to be more open to friending people in general (not just moths).
oh! for a few days, the crab whisperer was in Prairie Peaks!
Honestly this is why I can't stand most veteran players. They can really be so fn rude..(not all but about 90% ive met). I've played now for almost a year and any moth that tries to light me up I welcome with open arms and accept all new friends. Then I do some blessings for them and they can enjoy a new cape for a while or new cute instrument. I have big love for moths because I use to be one!!💕💯
I also want them to fix the glitch where the instruments randomly change chords and screw up your songs-
I wish they would open up feedback forms!!
I dont get why you complain about the instruments sounding the same, just dont buy them? Its their lose if you dont buy something, not yours.
Also applies to the camera.
girl we need exculsivity things a lots of peoples cant afford or buy ..so only thing i can afford for excusivity is auroroa wings which is 24 usd but its i will but to look exclusive
@@newmoon6549 the game literally has a exclusivity system with the TS without buying anything with real cash
because instead of putting exact sounding duplicated items, they could make something new and unique which everyone can buy.. plus not every new player is gonna look at the IAP instrument and know for sure that theres a free alternative, its pretty scammy if you ask me
Hi, I want to thank you so much for this video! You showed really important issues, especially about new players and how others feel about it.
It must have taken a lot of courage to post this video because I think a lot of people disagree but I admire you a lot.
I have the exact same opinion on this things, especially the rich players and Ikemen (they always annoyed me) so thanks a lot for this, now I know I'm not the only one who sees these big mistakes in Sky.
Huh.. I guess I’m not the only one facing this problem. I played the game since season of belonging but it get boring & repetitive overtime plus the toxicity in the game..
As a veteran player, I no longer like to meet moths. I spend my candles on them to build friendships, but they seem to quit and not play for long.
Yeah same :/ I myself had a great experience when I first started Sky some years ago with a veteran that introduced me to the areas. And i really want to return that experience to new players (and i have) but when 90% of them stop playing I always feel bad for blocking them to free up space 🙈🙈 i usually wait half a year to do it.
I think the Premium camera could've been more a video camera,that might've been really cool
Yes I thought the same thing. I love the cape in this seasonal pack so much but the rest of the cosmetics ehhh not so fond of. When I hear of the white-colored camera (which I believe is the upgraded one) included in this pack, I was excited to think it can record the video because the old one is only for taking pictures, if anything to make the white one stand out, possibly could be it right. That’s why I thought of buying ss pack right away but when it turns out there are no much differences, I changed my mind 😅 not worth the money for only a cape
@@naibuu9164 yes, if they could only upgrade it as soon as possible..
I have been playing for 4 years and never spend money, the sad thing is that it is easy for me to make friends with newbies using constellation items to look like "new" because some"vEteRaNs" feel like so special some of them once ignored me o rejected my friendship candle and it is ok for me, but like...why?, sky is to make friends, not to buy stuff and show off and ignore players, that is the opposite of the game purpose, newbies are way better for me, more easy to play with and I try to give them a nice journey through the realms and let them guide me, veterans just stand like 🗿 but newbies just want to discover and move around, more fun to me.
I am new to the game and I've only met great and nice people. I know I will eventually meet unkind ones but I hope not. I am already happy with the people I met :)
I’ve been waiting for months for one item I like that’s not paid because I’m not old enough to get job and it’s kinda slap in the face after I’ve e worked so hard to save in the first place💀
I wish there was an incognito mode where you can be alone playing in the game that you can turn on and off
the lack of friends for me is crazy and especially since I have nobody to play sky with and the prices of everything really wants to make me quit from time to time honestly -moth
