as someone who was in the trenches of mid-00s MMOs and hasn't really played an MMO since, I am over the moon with how kind and easygoing people in this game are. Maybe it's the fact there's no combat, maybe it's the fact it's a cosy game, or maybe the mindset has just shifted in the time i wasn't playing, but I am so glad people are finally nice in MMOs
Thank you for the balanced take. Sometimes there are rude players who expect every single resource to be called out every time and will harass players for playing solo. For example, I was once farming trees and had a small'ish (more than one hit) one spawn. I waved over nearby players. One of them flamed me in the chat for not calling it out. I was so surprised that it didn't even cross my mind to report their behavior, but afterwards I realized I should have because I probably was not their only victim if they had that mindset.
While sharing is encouraged in the game, it is not mandated. Harassing other players in chat is explicitly forbidden and can result in action taken against your account.
Keep in mind, while these resources seem super duper important and hard to find at the start, they really are quite abundant and they aren't even especially valuable in gold exchange. They can all be purchased as well. If someone's just playing through and not being sociable, that's their business and it's not actually harming you or the other players. You don't know what's going on on their side of the screen so DON'T be rude in chat!
Thank you for this! I am a switch player, and it took me awhile to learn all of the different social etiquette things in the game. Once I finally understood, it became very clear what other players were doing. There's no tutorial for these rules. I also only recently started playing the game when it came out on switch. Other players who have been playing for longer may not realize that there are new players and they don't all know the etiquette.
My general way of doing things is if you can harvest the resources yourself, it's okay to do it yourself. I think calling every pal node is a bit excessive sometimes lop
mhm, that's pretty much covered in the video.
I think maybe just calling out the big pal node is nice especially being a new player. Just breaking 1 big pal give like 6 pal ore enough to make 1 brick....The small or medium is whatever
Thank you for mentioning how hard it is to communicate as a Switch player! I get so anxious trying to type things out at such a slow pace when things are happening. It feels like going back to T9 texting. 😅
This part. I’d love to relay everything really I would…but it’s so tedious! Lol
I have the same problem! Takes me forever to type it out... So frustrating.
Really hoping they update the Nintendo switch online app so you can type in chat on your phone like in animal crossing😭
Not everyone has the luxury of time to wait 15 minutes for people to get to a palium node. In that time you can wipe all of the iron in N Bahari and respawn a bunch of palium. It is massively abundant now after the update but everyone walks by it because the texture is hard to differentiate from stone from far away. It is not a rare resource anymore, I can get over 100 ore an hour solo and never going to call outs.
That’s exactly why I pointed this out in the video. I do hope you watched instead of just commented 🤍
@@WitchyTQ hoping people don't misinterpret that as passive-aggressive snarkiness. Usually, "thanks for watching" is better. 😉
I'm not too worried :D Sometimes people don't watch the whole video before commenting and it's a bit of a bummer!@@HeadHunterSix (edit: i'm really bad at providing meaning and emotion over text so i always try to add a heart >.< so thank you)
@@WitchyTQ No worries. I love your videos and I do watch all the way through - sometimes my comments are just another person echoing what you said because it's good sense.
The one ones I hit alone are the single deposits
Dropping a lure while waiting for people to arrive at the grove is such a good idea!
I usually go mining/tree chopping around the grove but that can get confusing for others who are trying to keep an eye on who has arrived/who is still on the way.
And on occasion me chopping a regular tree has gotten people angry at me since they thought it was a flow tree or has made impatient peeps take down flow trees. So like, it caused not fun chaos. A bug lure will cause fun chaos!
It is not necessary to call out for palium. If it was they would have made it like the flow trees. Some people don’t like playing with others cause of social anxiety. let people play the game how they want. It will spawn again.
100% this!
This is in fact covered in the video. 🤍
I really hope Palia finds a way to make alerting players easier for switch users. Typing is awkward and can lead to miscommunication. I would love preset phrases or the ability to ping on the public map to make calling out easier. Like a purple dot for flow, blue for pallium and green for a forage
Something like this would be so nice, for more than just switch. Symbols across languages helps so much as well.
And then sometimes youre stuck on whisper and you're like no I wanna talk to everyone!!
@@maimaisims Make sure you give them feedback on their website! I try to advocate so hard for switch users, and every report/feedback submission helps!
It’s SO cute how seasoned players drop bug lures to help those waiting!!! As someone with ADHD, I avoid interacting either anyone because I get so anxious and impatient sometimes, since my brain is thinking about the other 50 tasks I have yet to do and the 10 I stopped midway and forgot about 😭 The European servers don’t seem as fun though. Any time I’m on (I’m in the U.K.) the players all are silent keeps to themselves. No one calls anything out in the chat either actually.
In my first few months on an internet game, involving real time players (MMO), someone said "Remember, there are PEOPLE behind the pixels".
With rare forage, I pick it, call it out, flare it, and keep moving. I don't have the kind of time to stand around waiting for people to show up to pick something.
And this is exactly why I pointed this out in the video. I do hope you watched it 🤍
@@WitchyTQ I certainly did (I subbed for a reason)! I also learned a lot from the forageables video. Too many people call it out and wait for everyone before picking... and then it despawns on them.
omg yeah this happens so much! I really hope the "getting mad cause someone didn't wait" era of the game doesn't continue! Also thank you so much!@@HeadHunterSix
@@WitchyTQyoure so passive aggressive lol
thank you for encouraging patience especially with switch players. i started playing last week on switch, never played on PC and I realized that because chat is so much slower than regular keyboard typing that I'm not going to be able to be as collaborative as PC players, plus the UI on switch is slow and small
Thank you for pointing out the switch chatting issue. As a switch player I tend not to respond as it takes time away from getting to location. I gotten use to the if I make I make it if I don't ohwell.
The whole chat on switch is sooo long and time consuming with like 3 buttons to confirm the post. While in hand held mode easier to chat I tend to play docked.
I just started playing on Switch and this is my first MMO and community play is fun. Another thing that's good to call out is rummage piles. Someone called it out and I found one for the first time. Next time I saw one I called it out and someone else found it.
called out a palium node yesterday and not even a second after sending the message someone ran up and mined the whole thing by themself, definitely top 5 anime betrayals 😭
for switch players, while not the most comfortable thing, it is possible to connect a keyboard to the switch dock to help type things out
I tend to do that when i travel to bahari with the intention of farming pal and ft's
This is such a good tip!
Some lagging and typing can be slowdown to responding out in chat for switch players. Always willing to wait. I just find so many times I get there and it's chopped etc. So thank you for covering the issues.
I use to wait, and wait, and wait for others to come break a palium node. Got to the point I was waiting for hours in game time, compared to the small amount of time actually trying to find palium. I also would call out nodes and be waiting for those who said they were OTW just to have another player come up and clear the node. To me, anymore, this does not feel like a cooperative game but a free for all. I think people are getting tired if waiting. Waiting is not playing a game and to me it is not how a game should be designed. Especially for those players who don't have hours of real life time to play.
You can actually gather more by keeping moving - and so can the players who sit around waiting for others to find the good stuff. Aside from groves, going out and finding resources on your own will always be more effective.
When I find palium I flare it, put the location on the server, mine it, and move on. It stays viable for a certain period of time and anyone getting there can mine it before it disappears. I don't treat it like a flow tree. If I find a small flow tree, I chop and move on.
as a new player on switch, this has been helpful, thanks. I find it hard to communicate with the switch. Also as a new player I am still always getting lost so usually dont get to the called out place in time, but I am not complaining that is life lol but I have called out a couple of flow trees and perhaps may not have waited long enough for others. Though in my defence there were not many folks around at the time and I did wait for those who responded. Boy did it take me a while to actually figure out how to explain where one of the trees were to put it in the chat lol
to me it's interesting how different your experience can be depending on what server you're on. Yesterday I played again after a long break, and the first server I was on was perfect. People were helping each other and patient when it came to flow trees. I'm not the best at navigating Bahari Bay yet but they were helpful when I said I had trouble finding the spot (using flares) instead of being rude. Then the next server I was on, the chat was full of people insulting each other, pretty harshly too. Just made me follow the main quest instead.
Thanks for the tips, it helpful for a new Switch player like me! Not being able to cut down flow trees by yourself is so annoying, I hope in the future we will be able to buy them for a not too crazy expensive price, or at least cut down the small ones by ourselves.
As a switch player i will say that communication is difficult for us so patience is needed.
So glad I found your channel, been binging all your stuff. Thanks for the extra callout about us switch players 😁 Palia has one of the best communities I've ever been part of.
I feel so bad for Switch players right now, I really hope they work towards easier chatting among other features for the device. I have the hardest time playing on it.
Great video! Thank you for passing along this information and helping to keep the community positive. I especially appreciate your comment on switch communication. As a switch player, I’d appreciate a more patient response time from people since it takes longer to chat.
I'm loving your videos! I wish I would have found them sooner. I found a heart drop Lily and didn't know what to do with it and ended up selling it. I also didn't know why forageable plants glowed after you picked them.
Thank you for this video, I am new to the game and playing on the switch. I knew about the trees but have not seen those other resources yet. I see people chatting and would love to be able to participate. Hopefully things will improve for switch players. I don’t want to be seen as rude for picking up something by mistake. This was a wonderful learning video.
I was on last night and had a switch player on server that said they used a wireless keyboard on their switch for the chat function. Thought that was super smart!
Thank you for this! It's so nice to have the "rules" explained!
OMG, I didn't know any of this! I have been playing on and off for the last week and have acquired my exquisite axe, bow and pickaxe and am level 7, 8 or 9 in all other skills apart from fishing. I have not used the chat at all as I thought it was for people who collaborated in teams. I am not good with social media as it is so time-consuming. I have been solving the mysteries and discovering the lore of Palia by first-hand interaction and observation. I have had difficulty finding flow-trees and had not been aware of the groves though, by following the "giant" footprints and airstreams and the display of magical purple ether in the sky, I have by chance found the grove twice and had worked out that it must spawn randomly. I did not know that it consistently appears at midnight in-game. I found a whole group of people there and assumed that they were working together as a consistent group, like a guild. I found that if I started trying to chop down a tree, everyone there would come and hit the tree once only and leave: I had assumed that they were either felling the tree with one hit or had no interest in helping me. Thus, I would eventually leave after having hit several trees but not having felled any. I did not stick around to get my share of the resource!
Palia is a lovely, absorbing game and I enjoy it thoroughly. However, my ignorance of the etiquette must have irritated players who have been playing for more than a week.
glad you found it helpful! it's definitely a big world with lots to learn, im sure others didn't mind at all.
As a switch player, I HATE our chat so much 😭 communicating with others is a nightmare, and if you’re plugged in and playing on big screen basically impossible. It sucks, since being able to talk to others normally would be nice
Clear communication is amazing to solve problems. You did forget always give the bunny treats but he will let that slide lol.
Thanks for specifically pointing out how hard it is to chat on the switch. I prefer the game play on the switch, but the chat really needs improving.
Flow tree grove are the best moment to chat, draw or bring out a book.
I may be a lil odd but i like those lil breaks when i got time
Thank you so much!! Been learning a lot, didn’t know about exact despawn times! This is well done, ty!
Play how you want. Do not feel obligated to play with chaotic sharing rules.
Thank you for this! I'm on PC so I can let people know I'm still learning but this helps clear up the ambiguous stuff for me :D
Woah I didn't know you could tag a respawn able resource by arrow flaring in on the ground!!?? Ill be doing that from now on. TY
Just got into the game on my switch this was super helpful 👍🏻👍🏻 keep up the great work
Only if they had a easier way to communicate other than texting. And a location indicator so it's easier for people to find you.🤔
Amazing video as always, such a good one for beginners 💜
My wife and I were talking about this last night. I’m on board with a calling out large pal but sm and md is abundant enough to just grab. It will spawn around. We always call out flow trees.
What an excellent video all around, but that ending just a cherry on top. :D
You have such a calm & soothing voice. You need to hit up those meditation & sleep story apps because I think you are a perfect fit!
thank you!
Thank you for the video. I just recently started so I really had no idea how the community was handling the spawn of resources. I play tested once a long while ago but only one time and haven't played again until last week. As a person with anxiety who wants to participate in the healthy community vibes, the idea of people getting mad at me in the game because I don't understand basically any of what your talking about it stressing me out lol T.T
I just want to play and not harm anyone but also progress and make friends ahhh
They should release tutorials on how the community farming works because I'm still a little bit confused but I'm gonna watch your video again and hope it sticks.
A lot of good information, very helpful!
Just realized we were in the same server here. Had no idea you were a youtuber! Nice 👌🏻 keep up the good work!
this was such a helpful video for me tysm. I'm autistic so unspoken rules often go completely over my head. it was making me super anxious to play palia because I'm scared of getting it wrong and upsetting people. having specific rules to adhere to is helpful for me, so again I really appreciate you making this :)
I'm really glad this was able to help you out!
Great video 😊 thanks for all the help
Thanks for this vid, i made a mistake with a glow tree, did not now about this..but the community was very kind after i said sorry when someone explained it ;)
Except for flowtrees, groves and, as I call them, disco deers, I don't usually wait. I call it out and flare it, because if I pick out palium ore, it doesn't mean it's gone for others. Others can pick it too at their own accord. But I don't wait for someone to appear so we can pick together, unless I know they're very closeby somewhere. I also don't always call out things when I'm busy. The only things I will always call out are groves, dari cloves, heartdrop lily's, big palium ores and disco deer. The rest of the stuff I don't call out if I don't have time or I am too focussed on something (having to call out would break my focus in that case). I don't think it's a bad thing. Everyone's already so kind and friendly with each other on the game. I've never seen that in any other mmo games. I don't usually even engage in chats much in mmo's, except here. The fact that rare things often get called out by people by itsself is already a feature you rarely see in other games. It's amazing!
Yeah the change to palium was awesome! This was made before they did that, and it's been such an amazing change. I'm really happy you're having such a wonderful experience with the game
Thank you 💜
Personally love calling things out because for me this game is not really about progressing in the shortest possible period of time, (I have a privilege of having time) I just love taking it in, it’s peaceful though dark and sad lore but I do get irritated if someone is continuously hitting a nod I called out and I’m literally jumping in front of them (I am a switch player so texting is pointless at that point) to let them know that they should stop but they don’t stop, and the reason is not the recourse, the reason of irritation is that other players are coming for it and their time will be wasted. (Could be an idea for a next video about common “body language” players use to communicate faster :P )But anyway, I appreciated the video a lot. Keep doing good work and compliments on your voice, it’s a pleasure listening to it.
So nice to hear someone stick up for Switch players. It's rough out here 😅
I have to be honest I had a rant about this in a video once and the only one I don't mind not waiting for is the pal node due to there being so many... but I have forgotten to call out a clove here and there if I am on my way to something else...
My worst experiences have been from streamers creating a group through their stream and then running around with them collecting the flow trees, and not calling them out for the public... That server then is useless to any single player or small team that needs flow trees. I tried to explain that to a streamer once and I was told to F**k off if I didn't like it and their group harassed me until I left the server... I logged off and honestly haven't been back since... :/ Ill be going back for the markets...
But what you say to a player can effect them, so be kind all!
I'm so sorry this happened to you, sincerely. If you ever see me online, know that any group I have larger than a regular party will always call out. That behaviour is unacceptable.
@@WitchyTQ Thanks... I know it isn't all streamers... Just those annoying few ruin it for us newbies :D
Thanks, have a great day :)
Yes, it’s hard to know all these things at first and I feel bad because the other day one took the whole med size pal for himself and I was flaring up waiting on ppl but he took it to himself when I came back from my switch keyboard option. 2 things got me upset the typing on switch and the player taking it after I was waiting for like 6min 😆 but it’s all good. I’m enjoying the game very much. I really want to build my PC soon so I can enjoy it with better graphics tho. Cuz there is a huge difference in graphics between switch and PC for sure!!!
Thanks for this video ❤
Could not agree more with this video!
Also wanted to add that switch players can get usb a keyboard that plugs into their switch to make chatting much easier even when docked. I play this way.
I usualy call out flow trees and groves but when it comes to palium, i hog it even if its a very large node, i sometimes call it out but most often or not i mine it for myself 😅
I enjoyed your video it was helpful I go by Mr Afko in the game Its hard for me to spell in the game so I play a lot by my self when I would like to play with others
I use to call out for grove, but literally no one responded for irl 10-15 mins. The stress of waiting. Like I had to do things with my time too. 😢 I ended up getting the smaller trees and not the big ones because I couldn’t knock them down alone.
I've noticed this becoming a trend, specifically if you're on a non-NA server. So many things need to be addressed soon and I hope it happens.
I just started playing about a week ago. This is my first experience with an MMO.
I wondered about etiquette because I came across a player standing in front a small flow tree. She was just standing there so I hit the tree. I waved to her to help. She did bless her but just now finding out that once you hit something it starts a timer? I feel so bad. She might have been waiting for people and I had no idea. I did manage to thank her on my slow switch chat tho.
This video is a bit out of date, so some rules have changed.
Flow trees don’t have a “timer.” You can hit one once at any time, it will just heal up. It stays standing until chopped down. If you have hit once, you will be included in the loot drop.
Normal etiquette is to call it out (and flare if possible). You can say “chop at [X time]” so you’re not waiting indefinitely, just give a bit of time for others to show. It’s polite to wait for everyone who has responded with OMW to show up even if they’re a little late, but no one can fault you for cutting when you said you will.
The latest update added a grid to the map, so calling out “F5” or “C2” makes for easy searching
I wish we could pin places that we had loot but had to do something else quick. As well as for the people who are impatiently chopping all the stuff because they don’t want to wait
Omg I accidentelly did this not knowing and didn’t know how to apologize I’m so sorry whoever it was:(
loved this video! I had an interesting time trying to figure out the communication codes within the game but luckily everyone was very nice and patient with me.
what I did not understand is the gatherables part, what do you mean by "touched"? I thought once you touch it, you pick it up. And I thought that me grabbing it doesn't mean another player cannot grab it as well, since I've seen players approaching gatherables I've just picked up.
I hope my question isn't redacted too weirdly lol
I called out even though I wasn't able to partake in the resources.
Social nodes are whats game breaking the flow trees and pallium should spawn in the housing area even when i played groups of players have it timed when the trees respawn and whipe them out before a single player can get any
I hope S6 fixes the resource sharing in Palia. If things didn't de-spawn for everyone else after someone harvests them, we could still have nodes you have to work together to harvest, without anyone getting upset.
I’m a solo switch player and my single most common experience with calling out flow trees or pallium is to be completely ignored. I wait around and wait around and while it’s true that the server says there are 0 players in my area, no one ever signals they’re on their way. My post to chat is literally ignored every time. Does that mean it’s broken? It makes me feel foolish for wasting time in the game that I could sure be using more productively. And it honestly makes me wonder if it’s only veteran players or those playing in a group who are even benefiting from the chat/server. 🤷🏼♀️
You're absolutely valid with this feeling, there is a weird overlap happening where seasoned players dont really need that much resource at the moment but new players do but many aren't at the point of understanding call outs or even that resources can be shared. I'm slowly seeing that change as new players advance in the game though. I would use the tactic of calling out that you'll be breaking/chopping at a time in game, and if someone is there before then great but if not then you're gonna move on
@@WitchyTQ Thanks, that makes sense, and I’ll try your suggestion. It gets frustrating because I need ft wood but can’t collect it without help. I end up having to just leave so many trees behind. Pallium is much easier to collect solo. Thanks again!
if you're ever around my twitch streams, there's lots of people in the community who team up for FT gathering! @@zeearchers720
As others have said, THANK YOU for mentioning how hard it is to chat with switch!! I'm a fast typist but I've given up on using the switch chat for anything other than, "omw." It's super frustrating and I end up spending 5 minutes to sound like a caveman. 😡
Also, if I'm using a compass then I only have 15 minutes (max) before the locate thingy is gone. Stopping to post a resource gobbles up so much time. I end up grabbing whatever it is and just keep going. I hate it and I feel selfish a lot. *sigh*
This was good to know, I started playing in jan. I’m at the point I need flow planks but haven’t joined a grove cutting yet bc ya know social anxiety lol. I have Watched a couple from afar while mining iron though. The chat just generally feels clunky on switch. Like I won’t be able to get there or message on time to make it or smth. (Plus I get lost in bahari 😂)
the switch chat is such a pain for suuuure, but don't be afraid to just run up and smack some trees. worse case you miss some or whatever but it's not so bad once you're used to them
So when they call out or with flare I could go and join? I keep seeing them as a big group and Im kinda shy and scared to go! Im kinda new to this game!
absolutely! most of the time if they know you're on the way they'll even wait for you
I just realized you sound like the girl from Psych2Go. I love the slow gentle pace. Also, super helpful advice in the video!
I don't know what that is, but I appreciate the compliments!
@WitchyTQ it is a compliment! It's a channel on here that talks about everyday psychology. Her voice is very compassionate and gentle just like yours!
aww thank you so much!
@@stopaskingmedumbquestions
I play on the Switch and the chat hasn’t worked since I started playing. Due to that I have to rely on Flares to communicate.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Mine did this to me as well and that was the ONLY solution
Thank you for this. I have been seeing an unfortunate amount of rudeness towards newer players and solo players when they are doing their own thing or still trying to figure out the unspoken rules. The last thing I want to see is the community fall apart because of some entitled players becoming self-appointed police. It is too nice of a game for that, and after the last update, pallium ore and flow trees are SO much more common. There is never a need to be rude to people or call them names over something that respawns so quickly. Educate, don't alienate!
I’m a new player and I have no idea about any of the topics you mentioned none of these terms are utilized in my save file yet I guess I’m not far enough to understand but I’ve reached level 15 and I’m unsure if there’s a level cap
levels don't hold back any story in the game, but they do effect the tools you have (upgrades) if you're at level 15 (indivudually) in all skills you should be able to do most of the things ive mentioned here by upgrading your tools.
@@WitchyTQ good to know I love this game
there are many people playing this game for fun. their idea of 'fun' may not match yours and that is ok!
I wait around for help with big trees and that’s it, if I see something it’s mine lol
I once found 2 med FT & before anyone else could come & chop it together, there's a old player (guess from their outfits & tools) with her/his buddy selfishly out of nowhere cut the tree w/o waiting. They didn't see me standing at a 2nd FT & come running but stop mid run, seems like they startled upon seeing me & got caught 😂 Just because it's 2 FT only they're not willing to wait.
i'm kinda new to the game (like a month) and i never experienced something so frustraded as yesterday... we found grove and were there chilling while waiting for 3am i was in a rush i just wanted to take my ft loot and go on my way to find a rare butterfly and like 2:30 they put on a honey lure, i didnt wanted it i just wanted my ft so i waited til 3am and started chopping the trees while people where vibing in the lure (i knew all hitted the tree and anyone else did come) after that a group of people started bullying me so hard calling me selfish and sh** saying i should just have left, someone was defending me and they told them to uninstall the game (i know i should have said "guys im cutting 3am, more things to do" or something yeah my mistake) but PLEASE just try to be nice and call things u find wrong in a nice way, not throwing a bully tantrum.
This is so important, being rude or bullying people is never called for. Definitely communicate in the future for sure but there was no need for them to be so mean and I'm sorry that happened to you
I think it's ok to mine palium alone when YOU find it, also smaller ft. Imo there's no need to call out everything everytime. I usually call out bigger pal nodes and most ft, always grove. It's not possible to chop the bigger trees alone anyway. But I find it so rude if someone else finds stuff, calls out to share with other players and others come and take it down themselves. Happened with grove a lot lately. When the grove is found right after spawning and called out, there's often at least two people who immediately cut the grove down after arriving although there are people still on their way, they often don't even wait until 1 am. That's low-down.
I try to look the best in players but I have encountered way too many times that a group of 4 friends just don’t call out a grove and chop it with the 4 of them, when the server is too quiet I go to another one.
you're doing the best you can
Communicate .... sigh. I'm now on the Asia Pacific server. Sadly, I cannot read Chinese script, Japanese or Korean text in the server communication options. And complete lack of any notification re. flow tree grove means I've only tripped accidentally across two flow tree groves since I got allocated my new overall server. I will hear the flow tree grove; but unless I can find its glow, nothing. No Palium whatsover, in terms of call-outs. Unless I want more crabs or special gatherables or fish, I don't even bother with Bahari anymore. Also, apparently, Switch players have enormous difficulty texting anything in chat, usually, so that would explain the frenetic "jumping up and down and pointing" that I occasionally get to see, but total silence in chat. Lol. Most players are STILL trying to be co-operative, but unless they have flare arrows, or one is face to face, it's been silent on my server, for me.
hopefully they resolve the cross regions servers soon 🫂
Hey! I'm also on the Asia Pacific server, and one thing that has helped me a ton is having Google Translate on my phone with the camera function. I open the chat and point the camera at my screen to read the callouts and can usually figure out where to go from that. I definitely recommend it, since it has helped me a lot.
@@TheDeductiveSugar Okay, sounds like a plan! 🙂 Thank you! Obviously, I cannot reply, and I guarantee their English mastery is better than my efforts.
Palium's rarity changed lately, it'll now Spawn on every possible ore location. so in my opinion it's not that necessary, unless it's the biggest of the ores.
yup! this video was made after the change and with this in mind. Palium is a finders keepers situation for the most part.
Let me share what happened to me about a week ago: I was in bahari gathering resources (pallium, iron, gatherables etc). Grove gets called, myself and others say "omw". At 1am in game time the person who called the grove called out too see if anyone is still coming, myself and one other person said we are still coming. At precisely 1:30am in game time that person announced starting the chop as they have waited long enough. At the time I was literally at the base of the cliff trying to climb up, I and the other person who was still coming asked them to wait, no response. By the time I got up the cliff to the grove, nothing was left and people were leaving and it wasn't even 2am.
In this case, yes, the person that called out the grove and decided to start the chop was the AH, but everyone else went along with it without comment. Even though up to that point, every single grove I myself called out, or others called out, no one ever started the chop until everyone was there, and it's usually at least 2:30am, most often 3am. Same server, mostly same people. But they still went along with the AH. I'm still not over it.
It can be so disheartening when this happens, this is a little too common in my opinion (along with people getting aggresive about dari cloves) and a prime example of why I wanted to make this video. I'm so sorry this happened, if I see you in game I will make sure they wait
😊
Im kind of worried about flow trees. I’ve never chopped one but calling people to come help is scary!! 😂
lol I get that, you’ll do great and worse case just get all your Flow from the Groves
I've been playing the game for 3 days and the server I'm on is empty only about 2 dozen people on any time day or night. It's hard to make friends because of this. I really enjoy the game but having no friends to interact with can get boring.

gahhhgghhh don't get me started on THIS! ... THREE (yes 3) times y'day while out in Bahari Bay, during the 12pm midnight Flow Tree Grove period, it was NOT called out on my server. I live in Australia and I am on the APAC servers.
Firstly I seriously blame Singularity 6! They split the servers, stopped server synch, and never bothered to fix the LANGUAGE BARRIER! Sadly I don't read any foreign languages ... Chinese language, but it could be Japanese, or Korean, or ... you name it, but I can't understand it. Then there are the cultural differences! Most don't share anything on my server for ANYTHING!
Now at midnight I go onto VPN and then rejoin on the NA servers. I have not tried the EU servers, but I'm guessing it's the same issues there with language!
I totally agree, I will clarify though they never split the servers on purpose. It's an issue with the provider and they've put out a statement that they are working to correct it. Though it's taking way too long imo, and without interm support.
So many of my community members use a VPN right now for the same reason
thank you so much for talking about the lack of accessibility for switch players, it’s truly horrible to type and make our way to the resources, hopefully I can change to pc soon because it really destroys my motivation sometimes
A tip I can suggest, if within your budget, is to connect a keyboard to the switch dock which always you to type via that.
As a solo play for most of my entire 30+ years of gaming I myself don't play Palia for a community type of game play.. if anything I can't stand this aspect of Palia I wish it was completely soloable even the groves.. if the Groves wasn't needed to have at least 3 players I would never use chat..
that's totally fair, maybe palia just isn't the game for you then! and that's okay!
These aren't actual rules...everyone should play as they want to.
yup! you can play however you like. this is just a nice little video about how the community generally behaves and is kind to one another. but you can do whatever you want!
Me not knowing how rare dari and heart drops are because I find them everytime I play lol
flow trees i get .. palium is limited
I wouldn't waste flares on groves. You will see the groves sparkles before you see a flare.
Also, with palium, hit it once when you get to it so that everyone thats waiting can tell the server how much is left in the node.
It might just be on the switch, but I definitely see flares waaaaaay further away than the grove glow.
Like as an example, grove in southern Flooded Fortress. I can see the glow only once I am standing nearly at the bottom of the cliffs. The flare up in the sky I can see all the way from the entrance in the north!
I'd say I can see a flare once I am within like 30 seconds running distance but the grove glow only within maybe 4 seconds of running.
@filegnaru render distance must be WAY lower on switch for the groves, I can see grove sparkles super far away, and flares end up clipping through a cliff, or they are right on a tree so I hardly notice them most of the time. I'll continue just giving good directions and save my flares for palium and gatherables
It is much lower on Switch, it's also not entirely true for PC players. I can see the flare from Proudhorn before I see the grove if it's at Statue Garden, for example.@@teddyguillot3228
I find some of the groves are visible from different distances; like the one in Outskirts I have to get almost into it to see the sparkles, but others I'll see from 100m away. but I definitely agree flares are the best bet, particularly with harder to find groves like Statue Garden and top of Pavel. @@WitchyTQ
I'm a new player on switch but rather seasoned (been my hyper focus) and I love the community (I don't play with friends 🥹). I originally tried to download on pc but it didn't work, kept rebooting my pc 😂 so went out and bought a switch 🫣😂 but the chat is awful. I'm so glad it's called a flow tree grove I keep seeing people type grove and I'm like WTHECK IS THE GROVE?! WHY AT THE FT ALWAYS IN A GROVE ON THE MAP NOTHING IS CALLED GROVE ON THR MAP 🫣🥹
The switch type ui is awful. But I'm just greatful I can play 😅
Ft, flared, chop at 3
Omw
Thank you for showing me how to grow flow trees😅 i cut 4-5 times trees in Bahari days after day and today we had 10 flow trees ...that was awesome!🫶🏼✨
