About the Events in Sky (My opinion)

- Although the Days of Mischief gonna last 3 weeks but still the cost of the cosmetic is pretty high and still there is travelling spirit. I think there is too much IAP cosmetic.
Anyway just don't push yourself for too much candle grinding and spending money. Get what you want and if you can't get it, just pretend it never existed lol.
As for me (I might only get the 99 candle cape and not any other thing because I am probably not gonna use any of them).
Thanks for watching my rant.
Have a nice Day. - Hry

My feedback is that sky desperately needs more time-based achievements unrelated to cosmetics.
An example would be the ability to plant seeds in your shared space, and over time a tree would grow. Perhaps it takes a year for it to reach it's full size.
I would find it really rewarding to enjoy a massive tree that I watched grow from a sapling.
As it grows, maybe you can unlock new acessories for it like a rope swing or treehouse.
It would also be really touching if I could gift seeds to my friends so they could grow their own trees.
Cosmetics only give a fleeting sense of achievement, and are often prohibitively expensive. We need more ways to actually interact with the world.
We need more activities over new maps, more things to do, I see many people who haves great ideas like you, even one of my friend told me an idea bout add creature or animals to every map and to have the possibility to become friends of this creatures until we reach some kind of status with them and they become somehow our partners/pets, the community is full of ideas that the game needs
tgc be like that would be 99 dollers
thats a REALLY good idea
I agree with this idea a lot, and I honestly think there should be quests to do (with friends, maybe also add a mode for solo players out there) to help the tree grow, plus, maybe even make the tree able to wilt after long periods of time of not getting taken care of.
And, to add an extra, maybe players can plant trees in the season areas and the season quest give can also help you out with quests after you've completed the season + already claimed hearts.
Especially when cosmetics usually only get you excited for a few days or weeks, after that nobody ever cares. It just becomes like a cosmetic collection game which is sad.
i think this is a very well-written perspective. i, personally, was really excited for season of flight, but hearing what you said i absolutely agree. everything in sky has become so expensive it’s been reduced to constant grinding for anyone who doesn’t have the time for money to get candles.
I get what your saying it’s just the same thing over and over for me constant grinding it gets repetitive and boring over time
Exactly, I was so excited for season of flight but for almost every cosmetic you’ll need the season pass
Yeah the spike in IAP’s that are getting even more expensive in frequent, the overpriced candle cosmetics, etc. I’m still mad abt season of little prince. You could get the advent pass and STILL not get everything from the season. That beats the entire point of having an advent pass, it’s supposed to give you access to the entire season. Plus it’s not like those extra cosmetics were cheap either. And this started pretty much after dreams ended. I’m started to get a little annoyed. Also do they even do double wax events anymore? (For regular and seasonal candles)
Absolutely true, I play Genshin impact and I think its really nice that beginners wish exists too its like newbies can buy it for free 😁. I think they should add one free (really free like 0 candles)cosmetic each event. Maybe even some in-game mail for free coametics, candles or hearts to support poor newbies. I think TGC should think about it.
What sky really needs is more free free stuff. Not free like "you dont need pass to get it" but free as in "here is a new capes, mask, intrument,pants for free. Try it out in your changing room!"
And the cosmetics got to looks nice, not cheap(as in the free cosmetic got to look like it has more effort)
Yeah!
i think it would be a good idea to give those free cosmetics as a reward after finishing a pretty hard quest like the prophecy trials, or even after completing eden for the first time
@@eimlris ESPECIALLY after prophecy trials. I used to rage at it for weeks back in my moth days, only to get candle cakes and a lone wl
@@qingyuli5460 RIGHT i only completed the fire trial recently with the help of a friend and the reward didn't feel like a reward at all like i'd rather candle run peacefully to get the same thing (if not more)
I feel like it would be nice if there were more reasons to stop and play with people. I am too focused on gathering candles, so I never end up making friends. If more of the areas had little daily events, like the geyser at Sanctuary Islands, it would encourage people who are grinding to stop and chat with others.
This this this! I always. want to just hang out with people, explore oobs etc. but everyone is so focused on grinding for cosmetics that they feel like they don’t have time for it :( Yesterday I spent half an hour trying to get to a beautiful place with a friend, and then she had to go because she needed dailies
I agree i would love more things to do with others that aren't just cr. I know they tried to get more people to work/play together with season of assembly but for me as a mostly solo player it made it really hard to complete the tasks. So maybe something that isn’t tied to a season task
The thing with Sky for me is that sky is a pretty game. Can we deny that people put a lot of work into making beautiful areas like the new Season of Flight area and deserve to get paid? No
But the thing with this game is that the gameplay is ultimately flawed. Old players have nothing to do, new players can't keep up. Some people are on iPhone and got extra seasons. Some people have money for iap's and others don't.
There is never an equal ground and no one is happy.
I feel like this is a huge waste of work. Because I don't really go to seasonal areas and they are beautiful. They really are but if there is no wax there why would I go?
Also if you create a game about friends and see people are not befriending other people because they are afraid to waste candles that is a problem. Even to the friends I love and hang on a lot with I don't wanna spend 5 candles on them because I'm saving for a travelling spirit. Also sometimes I even log out of the game because talking to people is "wasting my time" when I am supposed to be candle running.
I know it sounds stupid in this situation, but...
But the Season of Flight location has candles and wax
yeah, I really get that. My friend and I want to unlock carry but its gonna be a total of 20 candles so we both decided we had to wait until after the halloween event. And I'm sure there'll be another event announced after it ends. It's really annoying. I want to gift my friends hearts and not be scared that I'm gonna miss out of cool cosmetics or when I gift hearts be calculating if I'm able to still afford the travelling spirit. For a game meant to be about friendship and cooperation and giving what you have to help others (in eden and in hearts) its really teaching people that doing so is a risk. If you send that person a heart because they were really nice to you, you might not be able to get that upcoming cosmetic.
@@Lima08Dc1 It really depends. Because I don't run full realms. Rather, I run until all 3 chevrons are out. My target would be cake locations in 3 realms and the Sanctuary Geyser. The realms would be Vault, Prairie and lastly either Forest or Valley (temple and dreams area only)
Comparing to Prairie as an overall for one realm or the Sanctuary in general. The Sanctuary location has more wax than Flight does. Including the Geyser specifically for it spits out darkness every 2 hours
@@Rook_Eden I totally understand you! Also I keep thinking about all those candles I spent on people who just went offline and quit the game.
I don't know if this helps but use an alt account to give hearts and recieve them on your main account!
@@Lima08Dc1 But what about the Season of Assembly?
Also isn't more useful to just use geyser? Why specifically take a detour for less than 1/4 candle?
I said it once and I will say it again.
Sky, once people can focus/understand events/etc (basically once people aren't moths anymore), feels like a game without a game.
The game is basically all about just collecting those waxy candles and events honestly don't feel like events, they feel like an extra candle waster I need to be prepared for at all times.
If TGC would make ACTUAL events, with minigames, special quests, special currency you get from those minigames and the quests to buy event cosmetics (y'know event stuff literally ANY other game does), would make the game feel less like a chore and add at least SOMETHING that makes the game feel more like a game.
Here is the tgc advertising so listen him carefully 🤣🤣, good good your advertisement really good but true is always true a cosmatic game
@@rajjyoti1900 omg yes! Having currency from minigames that actually give you enough for cosmetics would be amazing! It decreases candle grind so you’re just having fun and doesn’t tap me of candles every freaking time
But what about the New Event abyss ?
I feel Aurora was a good step in the right direction when it comes to introducing such an interactive event. Although the catch is that it is temporary. Well, unless you own the Wings of Aurora cape, and visit the coliseum at specific allotted times... Then you can re-experience the concert!
Okay, maybe half a step in the right direction. That virtual concert was just so good! And the earlier "follow ball for musical" quests were also a good treat.
I think one more thing you "missed" in this is that it takes TIME to grind. A lot of time. Time is money, I guess, so in the end it /was/ mentioned, but you get me.
I always get shut down by folks defending TGC saying that oh if I'm so dissatisfied with the game being "chill" then I can just quit. I like the world Sky has. I want lore, fun times, to play with people and such. The beach ball spell was hella fun and it was just a ball we could kick around. I had a whole group of randoms at home join in with my friend and me to just kick it around, it shows how the simplest of activities could get us more involved and excited to socialize rather than just pumping out costly stuff.
TGC took a marketing turn and is constantly prioritizing the profit values over player satisfaction. The amount of bugs pushed out with updates despite beta testing showing the problems with them already is a good example of it. They push it out because they just don't want to delay their IAPs even by an hour.
Have to realize though that a lot of the people defending the company either have no insight to marketing and/or simply never had to count their penny to get by. It infuriates me, I started just not talking to people in game for months now because they are either oblivious, or just can't accept that someone might have a different opinion than them. The game that was supposed to be about socializing became the opposite to me.
I'm pretty sure they have deadlines to be met to release any new event or season. That's why some bugs get pushed to live, they simply can't do anything about the deadlines because that's how it actually works.
Tgc needs to take a break from events to fix long-lasting bugs they havent tackled yet. It is simply awful, look at the friend constellation so bugged about a third of my friends disappeared if not more. Infuriating. Online friends not showing on the constellation too, and random freezes while flying and also I must not forget random whole maps textures and floors and objects disappearing as you pass through them???
I also appreciate tgc also made journey and flower which were great award winning games and should have made them rich and it sort of just kept them treading water. Sky feels like they got a producer that knows business and he's just yelling at them about how much money they could make if they took their fantastic games and charged people.
I understand that Sky is a social game so the 'main' thing in sky is more to yk connect with others. But sky is really becoming just cosmetics collecting game at this point. There's really nothing else to do 😩 doing repetitive things really isn't fun anymore moreover for players who've played for more than a year. I would really love if Sky has various fun 'achievements' that we can complete and get rewards. And I agree to have events that we can do and get smth in return instead of grinding to get the event stuff. Sky is like to only game i've played where we dont get 'rewards' but instead everytime we need to grind candles, not even on special occasions :/ It's not that i'm ungrateful, i love sky a lot still but i just wish there are more things for me to be excited on rather than just seasons
Tgc is small, so I think they should do more collaborations
I used to love events because they have new cosmetic to give, but now they're releasing stuffs that you have to work hard for like always. They added the chevron system just to make people boost their candle gathering and reduce the time of farming. But I don't understand why when the in-game currency items are expensive, you have to catch up with a lot of things whether you are new or not, but new players struggle more because they have a lot to do
They have to farm more do heart trades, which makes them pressured
knowing that that's their only objective in order to catch up with new cosmetics. My new friend who is a moth can't even make a lot of friends because they are focused in farming which makes me sad because sky is a game about friends not all about forcing or grinding every single day
Nowadays it feels like cosmetics aren't even special anymore :/ TGC keeps dishing out a bunch of IAPs and it's getting boring real quick
@@ESCL2004 no really
Sky COTL needs mini games, club house home spaces, or event arenas with flight races.
These features would be very popular and give people more reasons to play and grow a community. Why don't we have flight clubs with custom flags/capes and matchmade game modes? 🤔
Omg i literally thought of this idea x) about clubs but there might be one pull back is that you would be dividing people into groups so idk if that’s the path tgc wants to go through but i agree it would be a fun idea :3
Yes this is a wonderful idea for Sky! and perhaps participating in minigames or races can also earn you candles, so candle runs wont be as necessary and getting currency wont be so tedious and boring.
Great idea :00
OMG MAYBE LIKE A MANTA RACE WHERE YOU RIDE AND CONTROL THE MANTA AND RACE WITH OTHERS AHHHHH
I think this would also be a massive help to newer plays for them learning how to fly better and finding an easier way to connect with friends, like if groups of friends could create a guild that goes into different events together :)
Yes I 100% agree. New events being announced just gives me so much stress. They already made traveling spirits more expensive and on top of that we're expected to farm for event items. The whole summer with trying to save up for sword pants and 3 TS that were all the maximum candles price (about 200 each) was too much. Sky has become too frustrating with temporarily available items, including seasonal items, getting more expensive and forcing players who want to complete the seasonal constellation to play every single day and skip nothing. It's just insane and not fun anymore.
Right bro 😘😘😘
But you were never expected to farm for everything. TGC designs items hoping you'll only select what you like. Trust me, it's way less stressful that way.
@@polarisjoy569 Some people are collectors they want everything so they can combine outfits with things they may get later.
@@RaviBird This game is clearly not meant for collectors
@@rajjyoti1900 When is your giveaway going to end if you don't mind me asking?
can we just respect him on how he wants to stop the event from being expensive for people with less money/candles while he has 518 or more candles? he's so generous :O
Trust me, the way sky is going, 500 candles is nothing, without constant cr those candles will be gone in no time.
@@gammaray1583 if this number was in the last season . . . and he buy it, the things. . .
Even 518 candles could be entirely gone within 2 traveling spirits, that’s part of why I think he mentions it being so horribly expensive
Tgc want us spend more time on sky , that's why they make "Event" selling Expensive Items that make us Cr more harder , also when we broke and lazy to Cr , they make us Buying Candle packs or Iap item
I for sure hears tgc always says “we know player didn’t have time to play in extended time” like the that the whole point of chevrons system in cr
It's how marketing works.
It's how most of online game works.
You have 6 gigantic realms to CR and by mentioning you were 'lazy to CR', you are revealing your personal excuse and somehow you want your laziness should be TGC's problem.
@@annieleonhart464 The "laziness" we are talking about comes from doing the same thing every time. Sky gets boring after some time, collect for new events, collect for traveling spirits. Theres nothing much you can do other than those and playing with friends. All of my friends are busy, same as me. When are we going to cr those 6 realms youre talking about every single day just buy a 99 candles wing? I know TGC needs to raise money but then whats the point of the game.
@@niirenie If I ask you, is there any game in this world that doesn't get you bored?
What would be your answer?
I’d love if sky added mini games. Maybe you get a certain amount of event currency depending on your score. This is a quick idea, so there’s probably some flaws.
We have somewhat minigames but the difficulty is not on moth lv lol its the trial in prophecy cave but the problem is the reward lol
I was disappointed with mischief because I thought it was gonna be an interactive event for once. When they told me to go find their friends I was like “omg quests for the event?!” And got excited. I got even more excited when I saw the present button above the friends head cause I thought we would get rewards. BUT NOPE IT OPENS UP TO THE SHOP! Everything is so expensive and it’s beginning to make me mad as there are now MORE IAP’s than candle cosmetics.
I agree with you, I love the new cosmetics but sky has become too much about grinding for candles everyday, where’s the joy in that? It becomes a chore rather than fun :/ I think adding mini games is a brilliant idea, maybe even a mini game realm where you have to unlock each mini game and stuff. Sky should be about friends and quests and gaming, with cosmetics on the side. I feel like sky is losing its story and it’s just become about money :(((
maybe not really make the candle and heart prices lower but rather make like a weekly thing where you can do a specific task that maybe would include multiple spirits, something like the daily quests but you need to work on it over the week or like 2-3 days (bc school for some) and this would only give you normal candles or hearts if its something harder to do and no seasonal candles during a season... those 4 candles that you would get from the quests made it a bit easier for me to save up candles... but yeah, just an idea
Or maybe have traveling spirits every week instead of every two weeks. Also don’t make us have to spend candles in order to make friends. I totally get the price of hugging and the other emotes, but its pretty annoying to have to spend a candle to even make a friend in the first place. Isn’t that the whole point of sky? To create friendship. All those candles add up and is the main reason why I don’t add friends
@@josephine3122 one travelling spirit every week!? That would be hell for poor new players :(
@@nonai3388 imo it would gives players a far better chance at buying cosmetics so they wouldn’t feel as left out for the adventure pass or seasonal cosmetics. It gives us something to look forward too every week and not contemplate quitting every 5 minutes
@@josephine3122 as much as I think a ts every week would be excessive I kinda get your point bc I think I lost a sky friend bc he was getting jealous of me have some cosmetics already bc I joined about right at the beginning of the little prince season and bought the pass since I had the money and with the idea of longer quests, which I thought would be perfect to like implement a 2.0 story mode, it would probably balance out things anyway.. a story mode 2.0 mostly bc I think those players that don't follow tgc on any media would be surprised to know that the quest giver from season of flight was once an apprentice of the daylight prairie elder. I just in general would love to know more about the relationships of the spirits
and the waste of candles on friendships.. I feel you, especially when I once talked with a sky kid about how they spend candles on hackers to befriend them, just so they can block them right after they reported them
@flower 50 sounds a bit too much but 30-35 candles would be better, it would also allow me waste some candles on my friends and the constellation with ease without making the amount overwhelming, like now that I think it would be cool if the wax timer thing would last longer, the more often you go to eden, bc 50 candles would be overwhelming for newer players but some sky kids and veterans probably not
I absolutely agree with every point made in this video, especially with some cosmetics being called "free" when it takes so much time and tedious effort to collect that many. Even though the cost doesn't come out of your wallet, it's still a large amount of your time taken for a single item. It seems like that's the only point of some of these events. There's no real gameplay, nothing to do except collect and buy stuff, then wait for the next one.
Finally, someone has the courage to say it. It's so weird how many people are just letting this slide. Personally as a new player, the day to day grind is absolutely monotonous, and that's only after about 1 month-ish of play (I can't imagine how some of the veteran players feel). Sky doesn't feel like it SHOULD be that type of game, but for some reason it is.
The seasons are hard limited to 5 candles a day, even though we paid a lump sum to access it, in any other game, you can grind out battle pass systems for as long as you want but here that's not the case. We all know why they do it and they do it because suckers like myself feel like they're going to miss out (and that was the case when I bought season of little prince when there was only a week left, so I had to spend crap loads on season candles because if I didn't, I wouldn't even get to earn a cosmetic)
Initially while writing this, I was going to say 'it feels like' TGC is preying on vulnerable people that are susceptible to impulsively spending large amounts of money, but they just are. Generally I believe that it's ok for game companies to run monetisation like this, but it's especially egregious here. Sky is purely a social game no if's or buts, and with their steep prices for single items, limited availability, and low candle output, it all just runs counter-intuitive to what I feel like Sky's entire message is; acceptance of other people.
You CAN miss out on TS and Seasons, but if you do you're going to miss out on a lot of social interactions that you could have if you had grinded (spending 4-6 hours running through the entire game every single day, hoping all your friends are online every day to light your friendship light, ect ect ect ect every single day.) It's exhausting.
Thank you for hearing me vent if you've made it this far.
it's actually so sad to think one of the, on paper(!), most wholesome games could be so predatory T_T i want so bad for it not to be the case but like,, it just is :(
The 5 seasonal candles a day annoys me so much ☠️☠️ I tend to speedrun everything in a game. I wish they would make an event where we could get like 20 sc at once so I don't need to wait that long to get cosmetics. It makes my excitement for seasonal cosmetics died down.
im surprised it took this long for a video criticizing TGC and their IAP practices called out. Maybe there has been a few in the past that I missed, but yeah. Lots of people give the game a pass because it's a social multiplayer game, but _any game_ is fun with friends! Sky COTL is pretty, definitely, but the lack of anything to do, repetitive loop, and their strategically expensive items are just abysmal.
Not to mention how they never give out compensation for severe bug/glitches/server outages. It might seem trivial, but I think giving out free candles / a heart for those issues would at least be great PR and raise customer satisfaction.
Edit: i dropped the game (for the third time) and rated it 2 stars on the playstore. i enjoyed it for what it was and the beautiful scenery, but the game is just too much pressure if you dare want to own cosmetics from ts and complete constellations. or make friends.
I agree, i’ve done so many Eden run throughs that it doesn’t faze me to go through it anymore. The game had a nostalgic feeling when i first completed it.. but then it became months and almost 4 years now since i’ve joined.
Not only are the price to candle ratio BIZARRE, but for free to play players, it takes days to get half the amount of candles needed for one item.
They need to start focusing on bug fixes, and price ranges.. it’s getting to a point where i have uninstalled and reinstalled sky like 30 different times cause of how boring it has gotten..
Events are one of the reasons why I stopped playing Sky.
First, candle farming sucks, I don't have enough free time in my life to speed 3 hours farming 30 candles everyday.
Second, Gaining hearts is really annoying, usually I just used spirits to get hearts but eventually I realized I would have to start making friends or else I would end up broke, they should add something where every week the spirits hearts come back so solo players can get more, instead of forcing you to befriend people if you want more then 5 cosmetics, which can also create this eerie feeling that they're not your friends, and your not their's, but you both know that you can make hearts by being "Friends," which makes it all feel, fake in a way, which it most likely is.
Third, it just started getting repetitive, even with the events, (That you have to wait a few weeks for to fully enjoy) it still felt like I was repeating the same cycle over and over again, Beat the game, candle farm, candle farm, candle farm, maybe make 1 new friend, give some of my candles to a spirit, Beat the game, see there's a new event that requires me to candle farm EVEN MORE, candle farm.
Fourth the events, the events feel like a way for TGC to get money faster, the prices are always stupidly high and new players will probably assume it'll take too long to farm candles and hearts (Which it usually is too long) causing them to pay money to get candles faster (I said only candles faster because that is all I can remember as something that you can pay for, I do not know if hearts can be paid for), because pretty much no one will have candles saved up unless they're a pro, and even then that's a small chance of someone casually having 200 candles and fifty hearts in their pocket, events without all of the rewards can be pretty fun sometimes, but usually they're just ok, and because cosmetics are included it sucks the fun out of it because people don't get excited for new events, they get excited for new cosmetics.
Wtf 30 candles? I just get 20 candles 😩
Tell me your secrets
Dude I agree with everything you said except “pay to win”. Pay to win means you require or tend to require certain items or features to complete the game that you have to pay for. Cosmetics are literally useless lmao, the IAP ones are basically just merch. Does buying cosmetics give you an advantage in this game? No. Everyone who isn’t a moth has already beaten the game with the same experience regardless of being f2p or not. You save up candles because you want, not need, those cosmetics, it’s from your own desire. TGC never forced us to buy cosmetics, the game doesn’t do crap to you if you don’t have cosmetics. The issue here is the gameplay and how boring the events are. Instead of changing anything in cosmetics, they should add mini-games and stuff like that so that players can engage in events and not just make the new areas that are just for eye candy.
@@seraji3799 Sorry, at the time I was not able find a more accurate phrase or word that would make sense in the context of the comment, I will change it to a more fitting phrase/word when I get the chance to.
@@mericsson2546 I don't remember much, but I do remember watching a few CZcams guides, learning about hidden places that have candles in them, and going to every single hidden and not hidden place that had candles in them, even if it meant turning around and maybe glitching out the game a bit, this is most likely the reason why I got so tired of playing the game so fast.
@@seraji3799 Changed it.
Come to think of it, you mentioned about other game adding mini game/ new tasks to do when there's an event. To me personally, I think rather than just putting out the price of 'free' items aka non iap items, like "this cape is cost 99 candles", it would be more exciting to be "here's a few tasks/mini games you'll need to complete to get the cape/ *other cosmetics*". Then I'll be excited no cap. Any thoughts?
Tbh after a year of playing sky, the overall amazing story telling started to shift into this dressing up game with extra steps. Collecting candle waxes feels like a chore i have to do, i starting to forget the amazing detail in my surroundings of each realms because what i am focusing right at that moment is "candle, candle, candle." Which sucks so bad, i play this game for the story of this amazing mysterious world, while meeting new friends around the globe. But now, i forgot about all those things because what i care about is cosmetics, which disappointed me so much 😔
honestly accurate. it frustrates me even more that they aren't adjusting the wax limit along with the huge influx of expensive ass cosmetics. it's like the whole issue with paper money losing value over time.
After awhile Sky can get very repetitive. I love the game a lot, but I can only take so much grinding and can only spend so much money when I don’t have the time to grind for candles. Having more than 3 hearts at a time for me is insanely lucky because very few of my friends light my star back & I’ve already bought all the hearts from spirits. I feel like if TGC had events where you could earn cosmetics, hearts or candles by doing minigames or something it’d be a lot more enjoyable. Like in the valley races you race to earn candles, why can’t we have more fun games like that where you solve puzzles or complete whatever little quests they give you to earn candles, hearts or cosmetics? It’d be so much more fun to do a quest for a spirit to earn a new cape instead of having to grind 50 hearts for the same cape design in a different color.
I'd love a minigame like race but PLEASE make the cutscenes skip-able😭😭😭😭
I agree 100%.. I've noticed the "events" are more money driven now and it's really sad :/
The last event I remember actually enjoying to Candle run for was Days of Bloom.. I really hope TGC rethink their events and realise this is a huge problem
Thank you for echoing the sentiments and worries of many players in sky 👏🏼👏🏼......if you raise this issue in the sky discord server especially beta you are going to be outrightly dismissed and told to even quit the game in some instances ........which to me is quite sad but I love sky and hope they do something about this issue
Yesterday I said in the Sky discord that for each season they should have at least one free ultimate gift for people who don’t have enough money to buy the AP, and that started a huge argument in the general chat. That place is crazy.
@@etherealether it's quite sad
@@etherealether damn this is so sad...i also have some season's ultimate-rewards
But i agree that TGC need to give a "free" ultimate-rewards to people who didn't buy the season pass, but spent the same amount of time as we did to complete the season.
Plus, I think even for users who haven't played the previous seasons, We may have to consider paying for ultimate-rewards someday.
@@etherealether Some veterans have sharing issues and I stand by my statement. They absolutely hate the thought of ultimate gifts coming back, even as IAP. They despise the thought of f2p players getting something unique with some hard work, even if veterans will probably get more in the long run since they pay for AP and stuff. As a veteran that has been playing sky for a year or so, I've noticed how most veterans want items to stay unavailable for new people. And as someone that cares little for the cosmetics, it's been getting on my nerves.
Their ultimate gift will not disappear if the ultimate gifts come back. Their AP will not disappear if f2p players get a little taste of a mini ultimate gift in that season. Their cosmetics will not suddenly look awful just because other people wear it. I get that they pay for the things they get, and honestly, good for them, but what most people are suggesting is a chance to buy the old things-not to make the old things free. It's kind of sad how most of them are terribly against the idea (not all of them, I meet a lot of nice veterans too, but I've met a lot of what I mentioned here) and I doubt that sky would actually entertain the thought ults coming back when they're a loud group shouting against it.
@@cousinpuff643 as someone who has started buying every AP since prophecy I don’t mind if f2p can get ults
Its just their way to make their greedyness looks more soft in my opinion. Some CZcamsrs like Nastymold and Tara says, "Oh but they are working hard and they deserve money." And this sentence sir, makes me sick whenever i hear or read somewhere. Not everywhere is USA or EU. Like, some people sees 14,99$ and says, "Oh, thats okay," but in my country its 189,99₺. So its not okay. And other thing is they are bringing events, constantly. Like give us a break, jeez. Even tho im veteran and finished constellation and most of the TSs, im still saving candles bcz of the idea of "maybe an expensive event will come..." And its frustrating. I want to open all of my friendship trees with my besties for example but i cant bcz they may suddenly made up some event and ask for 175 candles.
I think I have the same currency as you and I completely agree! it just keeps getting more expensive each event
Everything runs on candles/money
If you want that certain cosmetic or whatever unlock a friendship tree, you have to spend it with in-game currency/real money it's frustrating how you need to farm everyday just to progress into something you want to have. When I took a break from sky for a few days and came back like the prices were hellfire.
The events aren't even events anymore, you have to either force yourself to farm or you wouldn't get it
@@Lhanie exactly! I feel tired to think about what will be the next thing.
I agree with the youtuber part they are big figure for the sky community indirectly represent us but hell arent they very VERY acceptable with everything tgc throw at us im glad this on youtuber is critized them (even using female text to speech lol)
Instead of cosmetics , we need quality of life updates just plain and simple.
I understand that Sky is fundamentally built differently when compared to a typical adventure or sandbox game as it focuses on the social aspect in games. Meeting people and hanging around with them is fun and all but once you've explored all there is to explore in the game, there's only so much fun to be had if you keep experiencing the game in the same way. Adding even more cosmetics, half of which are locked behind a paywall doesn't really refresh the game, especially when players settle on a certain look and don't adopt a hoarding behavior trying to unlock everything.
I will agree that this game needs more social stuff to pass the time in an exciting manner. Seasons add new areas sure but if all we can do in these areas is sit and fly around then it's the same stuff that the rest of the game already offers, which means it's gradually going to grow stale and boring for most seasoned players.
Add small competitions, fun little puzzles, spice areas up into potential playgrounds, not just mini-hubs that people sit and sleep on. Introduce hard-to-beat puzzles like the ones we had in the Trials of Prophecy but award the players with unique and free cosmetics in the end. A different way to earn vanity other than grinding for candles. Add areas where making an acquaintance is encouraged in order to really enjoy, rather than promoting socializing via daily quests. It doesn't have to feel "arcadey" even... sky's the limit pretty much (no pun intended) when it comes to making content because the game's foundation is already unique. They still have time to save the game and keep it relevant, I hope they don't waste the chance.
People: TGC needs money from the IAPs to even make these events!
TGC: takes the money and makes the next event IAP based. Again.
I’m sorry what are they doing with the money I support them with? Making even more IAPs with limited gameplay? Nice.
they should really start making events or seasons that can tell us something about sky's lore. i think this is the only reason why i kept playing, i want to know more about the story.
I do believe Sky is still a young game that will expand. But constructive criticism like this is crucial that it expands in the right directions. Wonderfull ideas in the comments as well. Great video!
Yea i agreed with that what is all in this video . We should do something with that and give feedback on official discord of sky . the more people write about it, maybe they will change something. people try it, make sky better .
Please get this up comment everyone can see that
I've been playing for 6 months now
I dont have time to cr everyday nor play 17 hours a day
I'm brazillian, It means I cant afford to buy candles everytime tgc decides to do an "event", so freaking expensive
That sucks
I spent $90 on sky already. I don't want to spend much more. I sadly can't get much with the next event and its so annoying. I don't want to play sky anymore but I feel like I should cr for 15 candles everyday. Also sky wants us to be with our friends so bad then stop making things so expensive so I can spend more time with them instead of cr.
I agree. I started playing around 4 months ago, and back then I used to grind like crazy and get every cosmetic before it went away. 4 months of that, and I'm already tired. These days I mostly spend my time in sky to walk around and simply enjoy the scenery to relax and get my mind off things, or hang out with my friends. I found it makes the game so much more enjoyable if you just don't care and find a way to create your own fun.
So my friend said they will get a new ipad next year, am so glad that she are coming to Sky! I been planing, practicing music and get the place ready for our celebration! After that, I want some table that fit for a party, so I thought “Why not the bloom tea set?” And when I check how many hearts or candles does it cost, ended up failed my last brain cell cause it cost real money.
I agree. I think it would be lovely to earn rewards- I mean, we already have sheet music and stuff- you could get scores based on how well you play event sheet music and earn cosmetics/rewards that way, or something. I would fail horribly at this but it would still be fun to try!!! And i loved the trials from season of prophecy- it felt like an adventure where you have to earn something.
ah ths sheet music scoring is such a good idea! i would also fail miserably lool but again, still fun to try ~
Exactly.
I appreciate the effort they put into graphisms and areas, and certain mechanics, but as a game that is supposed to create friendships, this doesn't add up.
This is dangerously starting to look like the Yandere Sim drama, where the devs were working on almost useless stuff instead of actually focusing on the main problem.
Here's things that i consider more important than creating new seasons:
To make friends, you need candles. Problem is, when you already spent them and can't befriene them, you can loose the person easily, especially with the servers constantly changing. Happened to me multiple times.
And i'm not even talking about when you end up not getting along with someone anymore and spent 20+ candles on your friendship tree for nothing. Now multiply that by the amount of people you don't interact with anymore.
Now for other stuff, events or not:
For spirits, there's only one thing free, and that's the emote tier 1. You'll sometimes need to spend 40+ hearts on a cape you'll never wear to get a tier 2-3 cape, and the amount of candles/ hearts you need to unlock ultimate gift is ridiculous.
I've done a bit of math, and it can go up to more than 700+ candles.
For the paid cosmetics, some are incredibly expensive. 20$ on an umbrella or a piece of clothing...? Plus when there are multiple cosmetics as expensive. You can get it irl for cheaper. This is just a game where you have no way of selling it back. And seriously, ONE event costing 80$... Way too far.
And of course the seasons that are only available on certain platforms. In a way, it can seem nice, but most players, including myself, are disappointed of how much we're missing, and sometimes even dislike our "exclusive" stuff. This is just making players feel jealous and discriminated.
Here are in my opinion a few ways to solve these problems:
Friendships:
- I think friending someone should be free. Maybe you'd need to spend 1 candle to THEN start unlocking the rest of it. Gifts could be only 2 candles, encouraging players to send gifts more, therefore interact more.
Also, upgraded emotes from a spirit on the friendship tree should be free in my opinion. At least one player already payed for the upgraded version, why make it more expensive ?
Props and cosmetics:
-Some props, like the pillow from season of season of assembly, or cosmetics, like isle hair, should be completely free. Or at least a few more like these should exist. New players have otherwise a great disavantage, already having to grind when they barely started.
-Paid cosmetics should be cheaper. More players will be able to afford them, therefore compensating the lowered price.
-Spells or certain cosmetics should be cheaper and/or changed places, so players could spend less candles on stuff they'll never use.
Seasons:
-The different seasons for each platforms should be accessible for everyone. I think a slight change in the gameplay (switch/ ios) is already enough and is useful for certain situations.
-TGC should avoid making all these new seasons. It's making them loose some time and energy, they should actually make older seasons come back, recycling the data, enabling new players to get certain stuff they weren't able to have access to (tho maybe not all seasons so older players could still be rewarded) and saving time for TGC to focus on bigger problems.
Please TGC, hear us out. It'll be better for you and us to pay more attention to the main issues, and it could make the game be more exciting for both short and long term. Graphisms are nice and we appreciate your efforts, but in my opinion there is other stuff you must pay attention to more.
Have a nice day everyone, please take care 💗
i fully believe that sky need more diverse cosmetics.. i get that its supposed to be a light, airy, community based game, but it would be nice for some change. for example, more dark outfits or eden based cosmetics, or even oversized capes..
True, the price is damn high. Players cant afford to build friendship, just to save it for events.
This is one of the reasons I almost quit Sky. Even though new things were added, it’s the same process: grind, buy, grind, buy. After watching, I think I’m not saving up for the Halloween stuff. For me, I know tgc is a small company, but just placing spirits who sell cosmetics for such an expensive price is just… effortless. I mean, the beach ball, pinwheel, and crab rock spells are nice. But a lot of things can end up boring.
I like getting these thematic 'free' cosmetic in Sky during events, but i tbh dont really feel satisfyed. Spend days of farming and buy the cosmetics in 2 clicks.
The events are just being there, just exist. I even dont feel the "celebration". That's why it needs to change, let the Days be mini-seasons\game or whatever with special quests, maybe a little story in it and 'free' cosmetic acting as a reward for compeleting.
Yes, Halloween event will have an entire new loocation, but again...Nothing much
The only thing is, i hope that TGC are experimenting rn. Like weird change of questgiver being a silly rock means we might gonna do more quest activity (both for Seasonal and regular candles at the same day. Would be cool because of stupid Daily Light, which get unbalanced by every new Season)
The event is glorified ts but some of the cosmetic cost money and the occasional new map.
Ye, it'd be nice for events to have side quests, atp they are nothing more than temporary shops disguised with the promise of celebration
100% agree. Events should mean and include content, and not just be a checkout counter.
Yeah, kinda true, sky game is for us to enjoy, and I'm kinda new, once I'm getting se to it and starting to understand this game better, I feel like I don't really enjoy sky as I used to, I've been trying to go for cr everyday, and making sure I won't miss a spot, it's tiring and I still want to do it, I'm greedy for candles, because of the event, traveling spirits and constellations to complete, it's kinda stressful. Sky for me now it's not a relaxing and an enjoyable game anymore, it's more like a daily routine going on a cr. And I feel like TGC is more like wanting to keep the veterans and not welcoming new sky players to the game.
Agreed. Recently I rarely have time to wander around with friends but mad farming for candles instead. At the end of the day, all I want to do in Sky is just to earn some candles and go offline, also no friend comes to join me anymore 😕. Well what's the point of a social game when you just keep playing alone to get nice cosmetics because they're coming too frequently and the prices are insanely rising
🤣🤣 sooo true. On Point. Happy Weekend 🥳
A quidditch game in sky? Hah? Imagine that
All they have to do is use the floating light we collect in game during daily quests as flying balls. Set up hoops on each end of the field and make teams with matching capes. You could bump into players who are holding the light to steal it. 🤔
@@Ganderlow yesssss, it actually fits the theme of Sky lol I mean I'm giving them at least a year to make a mini game, since the game is pretty monotone now. Even if you have friends, you really can't do much besides chatting and cr
I also had an idea called season of memories, since everyone including me wants more lore, tgc can make 7 new realms of the time before darkness hits the sky universe. Like buildings and people walking in the old isle of dawn to eden.
The seasons these days are also boring. It will be divided as season of memories chapter/part 1-7. After we finish the whole season of memories, there will be a time machine at home where you can go back and forth in time and be at the pre appocalypse and after the appocalypse of sky. It's like adding 7 new realms without adding lol, since if they want to add a new realm now it wouldn't make sense
Thatd be dope :0
@@gdesatyavrata Love your idea. Now, let's convince TGC to make this lol

I agree 100%. Everytime I hear about a new incoming event I don't know how to feel about it.
I don't like the fact that an "event" means reaching out a spirit and getting all its stuff in 1 minute (if you have enough candles) or just grinding for candles because you don't have enough to get it. Something's missing and it doesn't feel like an "event" or something to be really excited of.
Lmao this is currently me, even tho i buy the adventure pass and share it with my friends I don't even feel the new season and i only visited the new maps once only
same 😔
The only way to get traveling spirits is to candle run every single day and going through all the realms, either tgc give us a speed wing, or give us free cosmetics, that’s the only way, sure the app is free but it all all a trap!!
participate an event for a reward rather than spending real money is actually genius 🧐. TGC could make mini game like treat or trick for the day of Mischief , I would loved that!
Honestly, even when I was a moth I found the game sorta boring. My veteran friends would just bring me to candle runs and nothing more, they just speed run everything and don't even talk much. I wanted to uninstall the app, until I met someone that made the game worth it but after some time we talked less and focused on candle running more. My friend became stressed with the game since it takes us 3-4 hours to run almost everything and I really feel bad for him staying up until 3 or 4 am just to run. I've been playing for a year and literally have no time to talk to my friends and school got me stressed out so I don't have much time to even run. Events might've been exciting before, but the excitement goes away after getting the cosmetics. We only get cosmetics for our own desires and all and rarely use it but it's still part of the fun but after some time it became more and more expensive which just took the fun out of everything.I mean yeah it can give us the feeling of accomplishment but now I wonder if it's even worth it. I've seen my friends quit because they no longer have time to candle run, they said the game is getting more and more repetitive, the ts and events are too much to handle. I just want more people to appreciate the game and have time to spend with others not to feel stressed over candle running and events.
agree. they started these events from December,2020. I started Sky and Cr everyday before it. but It took a half year to complete normal constellation. I can say new players can't afford to complete the constellation. now they prepare a event that requires us at least 100 more candles every 1 or 2 months. the only way to save candles is skiping some limited cosmetics or waiting for a Ts we already have unlocked without real money...
Omg carrot :0
I would like to have more information about the main lore of the game, i mean, the events are interesting with all the spirits explaining about what they did when they were alive, but i would like to know if... Everyone indeed died when the corruption of the king happened, how it happends, or idk
At the first time I played the game, i was hopping to know more about all this stuff but then i got pretty distracted about all this things like "save your candles for traveling spirits" or "better you finish your constelations to have special rewards!!" and if you don't have your character well dressed pretty much everyone think you're not interesting at all (and they're right)
But
Of course it's fun to have an unique look for your character, but I wish that wasn't all the game have to offer you to have you stay playing
Couldn't agree more! Connection with people is the 10% of the game. 10% is spirt and wl hunting and 80% is candle runs.
I love events but the prices are unreasonable especially the days of mischief.
After hearing everything it is making me less intrested in sky because from inside I can relate this.. I am doing fine right now (not a moth anymore) but all these events and all those cosmetics are making so much pressure on me. I can't tell how I am going to tackle this. The problem for player like us is travelling spirits 170-200 candles (gone) and on top of this the events! This is crazy
-I can say that I am a little excited for the event but cost of all cosmetics is making more nervous.
Dont feel pressured to get everything! Just save for the items you really want so you can chill instead of doing full CRs its rlly stressing but i try to only save for those i really want so i have time to chill and relax.
@@Ikesfavpen but I want everything so that I can look like a veteran 😅..right now I have 171 candles but I know the spirit on 14 will consume all my candles then what will I do in event? ,😭 Not enough time to save
Please helpp
@@Villager.1 Buy things that you really like. Buying a bad looking cosmetics is a waste of candles. I didn't buy the frog mask from the little prince season bc of that I get a little head start
@@Villager.1 if you want everything then that’s a matter of your own desire and the pressure comes from yourself. Remember that cosmetics are pretty much useless lol, all they do is eye candy except functional ones like instruments or tables. Collecting every cosmetic is only for people who have time or money. Just get the ones you actually enjoy. I know how you feel so trust me when I say that Sky is way more enjoyable when you care less about cosmetics and candle grinding. If it helps you, take a break from the game (like don’t think about candle grinding at all) then come back after a week or two like I did, it’s really refreshing and changed my mindset towards the game.
Honestly, another thing that truly bugs me is the price on IAP items. Take, for example, the upcoming Days of Mischief in live: if you bought all IAPs you would spend a total of 81$- let me repeat, **81$**. You can buy so much food, drinks, etc. with that kind of money. The items are all WAY too overpriced. 9.99$ for a cape? 14.99$ for some antlers (Days of Feast)? Are you kidding me? Either you have a REALLY stable income to spend all that money, or you are not on equal ground to others and have to give up the cosmetics- which is really sad, considering they are making the game feel like a "collect all cosmetics" game rather than a social one.
Next thing you know they’re going to make a cosmetic 900 candles 😃
Lol
as a new ish player im so confused how people enjoy the new seasons. they make me feel like im doing something wrong. like, am i really missing out? i feel so depressed that even in game stuff takes me at least a month to save up to get. this season of flight just doesn’t have me as hyped as i wish it did…
I agree with everything you said. Everything have gotten so expensive. The days of rainbow cape was not worth it for me . I thought I would manage to buy it, but when checking the price I was so shocked for something that looks simple to ne so expensive. I am glad i bought the butterfly cape from ts. Way better price 👍🏼
As a person who’s not gay but want to show lgbt people that i welcome them as a friend the rainbow cape is absolut disaapointment its a basic cape with random colors on it! Its like your t shirt when you goes to that college celebration that spray your clothes with colors in a chaotic manners. I was expecting a litteral rainbow not my t shirt from college
Finally someone spoke about it.. 🥺 glad to see the same opinion. After completely agreeing, i would like to say, even the new season systems are being unfair. They only have two capes in this season and all will be for pass players only. Besides the prices are so high for non-pass players, that if you miss few days to collect the seasonal candle, you'll loose an accessory. Not even talking about glitches in the android system, nothing new for android users, and hell i hate the daily cr grinding. 😭😭😭
Besides there will be a ts before our great event too . Soo bye bye candles.. 😐😐
I agreed with this. After Season of the Little Prince, I did grow tired of playing due to grinding for extra candles since I learned that Season Candles add to your Normal Candle count. I did manage the buy the Cosmetics I wanted for that Season as most did appeal to me.
Then I took a break and waited for Season of Birb (Flight) to begin. Honestly, I was excited before it came, but now? Eh. The Cosmetics are nice, and I do want the Birb on one of the Spirit's heads, but it sadly doesn't appeal to me much. Not to mention, I too am watching how I spend my Candles cause I wanna be a Rich Moth like the Rich Spirit in SotLP! lol
But yeah, I saw the prices for Days of Mischief and I honestly have empathy for those who dig the Cosmetics but can not afford the prices.
I'm not into Sp00ky Month that much, so it doesn't bother me, but eeee the prices are a bit inflated.
I'm trying to stack candles just to get the Blue Capes in each constellation I've seen them in as well as get certain props and pants! And even that is a chore.
Regardless, I still enjoy this game from time to time, but ugh I feel so sorry for Moths!
yeah it does kinda suck. even if you do all the tasks, find the spirits etc, if you havent been candle running and trading hearts then its all for nothing. i used to love doing candle runs cause i would explore sky while i did them, but now its just kind of daunting. and it's also annoying how sky is marketed as a social game but it costs a lot to be social. you're either spending candles to make friends/level up/use chat benches or spending a bunch of hearts to buy chat tables/chairs...has anyone else ever felt that way?
It would be cool if they added a feature where, in homebase you can fly up into the clouds and sit in a chair on the clouds:)
or a couple of group mini games at least at the home space! It’s so boring and blank! No talking space, no interactive things.
they should add side maps were players do tasks to get rewards and the maps would have good featuares and would remain the players also build their small homes where they can hangout with friends and grinding should be easier and you could fish farm make flying boats and add new enemys like turret and predator and add weapons like sword crossbow spear and many other i hope this comes true
I'm against weapons because then sky would turn like any other basic mmorpg therefore losing it's unique gameplay of no fighting/peaceful social game.
Bruh I agree, luckily I’ve saved up 921 candles ( that I have now that I’m writing this comment and I have 840) hearts so idc about farming anymore and I also don’t care about the events or ts either because I’m rich enough in the game to afford them even if I don’t farm everyday ( I finished the constellations a long time ago, but even when I hadn’t even completed them I already saved up many candles by only buying what I really liked from the ts instead of buying just for collectionism). I personally despise the chevron system and I also think it is the root of such increased prices , yes it’s a free game but it’s going towards becoming “ everything nice will cost u real money since we make the game free and if u are not a veteran who’s rich u are going to be forced to use real money if u want our special edition stuff” , it’s ridiculous …. That’s why I’m playing less. I wanted to quit but season of flight looked nice so I’m logging in only to do dailies and light up people and then I log off
tgc has become so disconnected from their first intentions with sky it really really sucks. every meaning, all the wonder and fun is lost. there’s no events. it’s all the same. “find thing, follow thing, collect thing, repeat every single day if you want to catch up”
worst of all tgc never listened to any feedback and a lot of the dedicated fans are white knighting because “muh tgc indie devs” who cares?? are they immune from responsibility? so they’re an indie dev they get to keep things filled with bugs and no actual new content?
From social game to fashion game
I started playing a couple months ago and man, it’s so difficult to get things. Everything costs so so much and I have to spend hours to candle run just to have a bit of margin that I can spend without being constantly broke, and I have to think trice before buying anything hearts related because they’re just so expensive and hearts are so hard to obtain.
I would love to be able to stop for a second and be able to enjoy the game under other perspectives, I want minigames to enjoy with my friends, maybe even areas dedicated just for playing (playground style), literally anything because it’s such an entertaining and cute game but it almost feels like my time is just going to waste, as if I’m just replicating irl’s capitalism but just to look fancy…
And the season of Flight, while pretty and all, is really just about cosmetics for me… I do enjoy spending time in the area because it’s pretty and I love flying, but it’s not enough, it feels like there’s no real quality, just another way to milk money from players
Glad to see this video. Sky is getting expensive, both free cosmetics and in game purchases. It hurts to miss a day of candle run and there is no other way to get candles (well, shop but not for everyone). I love the events and I do my best to get most, if not all, the cosmetics they offer. Thank goodness that tgc staff is making new contents for us skykids, but sometimes it becomes a chore rather than entertainment. Maybe they can give us a 1 month interval (exceptions for events like Christmas, New Year, Halloween, or any big events) for every event in order for us to save candles intended for ts and new cosmetics. Lately, it's not very friendly for new skykids and busy people.
That's all right, I agree..🤝🏻💔
it would be smart for tgc to use events as a means of helping players earn more candles ..i know most of the time they add ways to earn a bit of candles, in such events, but its a very passive process ... u just sit under a tree or idk sit near a campfire ... i wish there were little games u could participate with friends (or alone) where u could win a lot of candles ... that way it would encourage the players to play the little event games instead of daily grinding ... there are so many little games u can implement in sky ... one could be music related ... something with the stone slabs in sanctuary that ring the bells ...the whole world of sky has a lot of potential for little event games, races, hidenseek, scavenger hunts, face the krill, doing favors for elders ect ect ... i hope tgc takes this kind of feedbacks, like this video, a bit more seriously and starts implementing some new event idea ..... and if they need ideas i am sure the community can provide tons
Totally Agree, That's why I never participate in any Event, it's just stupid things ALL THEY NEED IS YOUR MONEY
Something that has been happening since January is an Event for a Livestreaming Application on mobile. If you stream Sky on it, you'll receive candles or hearts. Sadly, this has only been advertised on the Japanese side of the Sky community because it's a Japanese application. But TGC can very well bring other outside Sky events aswell.
I hate how tgc goes on about "giving back to others" while charging their community $10 dollars a month for adventure pass which is practically vital, almost $100 per "event" to get any of the mostly useless cosmetics, and making players spend over 3 hours on the game per day to get a decent amount of candles or achieve anything in the game in a timely manner. I get that they need money but if they lowered the prices im sure they'd get more money in the long run and players would be a lot happier. They even go as low as looking to see which items players like the most JUST so they can make it a iap or ap exclusive item. Ntm, TGC only gives you 30 candles for $10, which seems okay, until you realize one in game item can cost anywhere from 60-300 candles on average.
I think TGC should be more generous towards players. They can still have iap's, but they shouldn't be super expensive and necessary to complete an important part of the game. They should also at LEAST give out *free* candles and hearts or even cosmetics to players during holidays using the mail system, like love nikki, so we aren't grinding on christmas just to get their expensive "luxury days of fortune pack". Like sorry tgc, but making us pay 30+ dollars for your "gift"... isnt a gift. Honestly they're extremely greedy while claiming to stand for a game about "selflessness" and "giving and not expecting anything in return" and its downright hypocritical
As for me who's still a highschool student well I can only watch at the IAP items because I can't buy any of it due to having no job leading to no money
Started playing sky again and yeah I realized pretty quick since I’m not one to spend days farming for candles I’d either have to suck it up and pay for season candles or not get the item I wanted
Glad someone noticed this, when I heard abt days of mischief i wasnt impressed...
As an old player I agree
I agree with you 20000000 percent
Yeah, you're right! The events needs to have some kind of MINI GAMES to WIN some rewards, but only what you got is a spirit bringing expensive cosmetics (doesn't mind if you have to spend just candles or something worse... real money) 😕
Honestly its really isn't fun as a new player at first its tons of fun! but after that its repetitive stressful thinking. (I actually un-downloaded the game not to long ago but I don't plan on downloading it back unless something happens with the shop prices) Maybe making it so you can earn stuff without spending money and make some items a not so impossible of a task to complete, or even better you can add a lesser but still interesting outfit.
I haven't even updated the game since the end of little prince. I have been playing from rhythm. The most annoying part is...most of the items are useless, just for cosmetics, i mean good for some people, but i want to have that prop or whatever, a function, like before they introduced so many stuffs like the bonfire, torches, etc. Which are actually usefull and maybe people will use it, not rott in the wardrobe.... What they sell now?! A fox!!! SERIOUSLY!!! So yeah, I agree nothing of this game excite me anymore.
I fully agree.
I enjoy the new maps and small quests along with it and saving up to buy something does have a sertain satisfaction to it. But it's still not fully justifiable.
I do two world's every day wich takes about 2 hours, I can save a pretty decent amount with that if I have enough time. Candle running all realms takes about 7/8 hours. It's not justifiable to spend so many hours on a game to just collect wax. I'm lucky to have the time to do that every now and then, but we all have our actual lives going on too.
I'd love to see a daily quests system where with an event you do a quest to achieve a cosmetic, no candles no hearts just complete the quest. It'll be fun if it's difficult so after completing it once you can help your friends that just started playing to compete it too. Wich gives dubbele satisfaction as you now helped someone else achieve the cosmetics and can now wear it together.
I'm thinking profecy trials style or something of that sort.
Events are just one of the blandest things in Sky right now. Sure there could be some new maps, but I can't appreciate being there when the people are afk or if there are none at all. No minigames nor anything elaborate
I felt the same too. To me the new season rlly had nothing interesting to do I just go there to cr. There's nothing rlly interesting to do anymore and I just save my candles for the constellation and ts coming. I'm rlly under pressure but atleast I get to hang out with my friends online
I played about 1 month I think . My friend recommended me this game . And after so much suffering , this game is boring to me now Idk why . Ive done collecting wing soul obviously .. spirits .. etc. Now Ive been thinking about what is the goal of this game ? Is it grinding for candles or collecting cosmetics ? I know that the goal is to socialise with people but now noone wants too .. like who would want to waste their time by socializing other than grinding for candles . I think TGC but put more effort on this game or than event that has to pay to get the item not free . The item on the mischief is really expensive soo expensive . It not longer be an event cuz people will 'buy ' the things which is really the only option about the event . It's to buy not free . It's boring now but I'm going to stay cuz I don't wanna make my friends waiting for me to online when I already quit.
Whenever these events come it stresses me out and now I’m staying up late every night to cr and now I’m on burnout and my body is tired but I’m still candle running ;-;
Yep! You right! 👍👍👍
Yes u are right.. I Agree 🤗
sky: the dress up game
100% agree
You make such good points. I’m a casual player but I had to get candles 24/ just to get a item I want
2:01 I almost had a heart attack when I misread 66 Candles as 66 Hearts. xD But I agree it's very expensive as for candles as for real money, for the price of IAP purchases you can buy a new brand game or even multiple games if you want. But to be fair it's the same situation for most mobile or life service games, for the price in-game cosmetics there is often new indie or not games which you can buy for the same price.
After 6 months, i can't catch up with anything, only if i do it slowly. And it takes soo much times. I'm busy now with my rl but i love sky that i will try to get even only some dailies (not complete), and 7 candles a day. Or to get nothing and light my cons only. I can do eden one time per 3 weeks or longer, been skipped many ts and event and yeah, i start to feel bored for the same things i do everyday.. 😓😓
I started playing Sky last week and I'm really excited about the new Season, after all, it's my first season! I agree that it's very expensive, but I think I can buy what I want until Season ends ^-^
Please enjoy the game and take it slowly. I've been playing for a year+ and it's been pretty dry and boring. Enjoy every second while you can, don't overthink too much about owning every cosmetics, take it slowly and enjoy!
