15 things you NEED to know before you play PALIA!

[@Emberrose13]

Nice tips, another one is that furniture does NOT take storage space so feel free to craft just about everything to keep leveling up and getting more recipes! :)

[@Farilar]

A quick correction to the shops and npcs: You can only talk to sleeping Villagers that have a corresponding shop for a skill. Villagers without a shop can't be talked to while they're sleeping. Also, there is a difference between the skill shops (for which you must talk with a villager) and the stationary shops (for which you must interact with the register, which is also available all day and night, even when there's no npc behind the counter)

[@JustChrisPhillip]

Great video, but another quick correction I don't think people have mentioned, the focus doesn't work like you explained. Filling up the bar doesn't increase your experience gained, it's a flat bonus which can be increased by interacting with some shrines around the map. Filling up the bar simply provides you with that buff for longer, as a part of it is used every time you do or collect anything.

[@Farilar]

I also wanted to comment that, you explained it very well

[@MadameCirce]

The tip in this video about character names is incorrect! It is NOT your hidden username. In character creation, the first option is the character name, which is what every other player will see you as (above your head, in the social tab, etc.). The second is the nickname, which is what the NPCs will call you in their dialogue. The character name must be unique and not shared by any other players but the nickname does not need to be. A lot of people choose a unique first + last name combo for the character name (as spaces are allowed) and then just the first name for the nickname for better flow of conversation with NPCs. I've seen some great fantasy names with this system, it definitely seems to be quite popular to go that route and kind of roleplay an OC. I'm concerned some poor people are going to watch this video and then have regrets that they are dickbutt69 as far as other players are concerned, because you can't change the name afterwards and it will be stuck with you longterm. I've seen in the Discord that some people have been reaching out to support to fully delete their characters and start from scratch with a new one because they made the mistake with the name first time around.

[@faeerie]

lmfao “have regrets they are dickbutt69” made me almost spit out my water but yes!! i hope she will pin a comment stating this so no one makes this mistake picking a username

[@Fleurs_]

Thanks! I think i got myself confused. I have edited out that part so hopefully no dickbutt69's in the server.

[@MadameCirce]

@@Fleurs_ At least now we will know that any dickbutt69 we see in the server was fully aware and consenting that it would be the name we'd all be seeing as we fish with them, ahahahaha

[@Fleurs_]

@@MadameCirce hahaha exactly! I am determined to find a dickbutt69 now.

[@Esravei]

This is definitely a great video for people just now coming into Palia!! One thing though, you can change your hair color when you get in game!

[@debbie3839]

I went into some shop and clicked on the dressing room door and it let me change my hair and outfit

[@Esravei]

@@debbie3839 Yep!! I actually made a video on char customization but as of right now you can change hairstyle, outfit and accessories through wardrobes. Not implemented yet for other facial features though

[@Farilar]

Another useful tip about the treasure chests you can find around the map: If you place them at your home, they do not count as a real chest and do not expand your chest space, they're only for decoration. There's also a bug currently that when you place the chest, you can't pick it up again. I recommend not placing them at all until the bug gets fixed.

[@stacis.803]

I wish I had seen this comment before I placed mine in my tent 😭

[@Farilar]

@@stacis.803 Good news, they actually fixed the bug today!

Great tips!! Thanks for sharing!! The fast travel thing...BLEW MY MIND!!!

[@Fleurs_]

Thank you!!

[@drax99]

While you can use the shops while the NPCs are walking around, there is currently a bug I keep running into. After a short time, they will continue walking away, and if you are still in the shop menu, it bugs your UI, and you cannot open any menus. I hope this gets fixed soon.

[@Fleurs_]

Hopefully that gets sorted soon!

[@xXVickerdXx]

I havent been able to play yet but since it's a beta, is there a way to report bugs ingame? Stuff will prob be fixed sooner if everyone reports it

[@Fleurs_]

@@xXVickerdXx There is! I believe you can do it via the website page or the discord is very active!

[@Fleurs_]

I think I was just cautious in the beginning but now I’ve played more, I am starting to collect lots!

[@raspberries6992]

I'm afraid the top name you choose is not your account name. It is the name everyone will see in game. Please be careful when creating this name! It will represent you to everyone! The nickname is just what NPCs will call you.

[@faeerie]

this!!

[@Fleurs_]

Thanks i've edited out. I misread some information and got myself confused.

[@megano6612]

Thanks for the tips! I got about an hour of gameplay in before they had to shut the servers down due to too much traffic. So now I’m bored waiting for them to come back up lol

Great tips, Emma. Thank you!

[@thomasroycraig4679]

I have a question: If I can’t play daily, am I losing my crops that need watering? You explained that ready to harvest plants wait, but what about plants in the process? I want to play but I know I won’t be able to play every day and even make breaks of more than a few days.

[@Fleurs_]

Nope. It’s not set on real life time. An in game day is one hour and that’s when you’ll have to water your plants.

[@crushedclover]

Tips on making money? What to sell, etc?

[@chelseaoates610]

Turn your ingredients into cooked food, its worth more than individual ingredients when you sell.

[@TartantazCreates]

I have just started playing Palia the last few days on the switch. So far so good. I am finding it a little hard to keep up with making money and improving my skills though. I have yet to figure out how to actually start decorating my house that has just been completed lol T x

[@alexandreblais8756]

Im happy I learned I could eat stuff for more than 200 focus. I thought it was max 200 and never ate more by fear of wasting focus lol. Also thx for sharing an extra chest location

[@chelseaoates610]

you can also pray at altars (uses renown points) to increase your focus

Is there a storyline in Palia? Like, a major story goal to work towards :) The game looks amazing so far, but is it 'only' about gathering, building and helping villagers?

[@Fleurs_]

There is a main story line/quest line. I won’t spoil it!

@@Fleurs_ Thank you so much, thats great! Looking forward to try it out. And thanks for a very useful video

@@v_nesa9519 not really, but it’s not oficially a complete game yet, they do give it updates tho. Its just that for me the graphics for this game are way better and had no space left for Palia so I deleted Coral Island

[@Loolul]

Thank you so much for the video❤🎉, really like your calming voice and cant wait to see more videos from you. Tho i have some questions. Can you Trade with other players? Can we interact with the furniture we make?

[@Fleurs_]

So I haven't found a way to trade but you can request items from other players if you need them and they can be gifted that way. You can kinda interact with some pieces i.e. the wardrobe allows you to change your appearance but you cannot sit down or lie down on your bed for example.

[@kristycrow9586]

I would say just do a bit of everything! Level up your skills, talk to the characters and complete the quests!

thanks for the tips, i been wondering though how does the mmo aspect even work, is there only 1 world or are there many instances of that same world? can u see other people's homes or does everyone build in the same location?

[@Fleurs_]

So your home is in a separate world by it's self. When you travel out onto the map you're put into a server with up to 25 people, so it would be multiple instances of the same world. You can visit other players homes via the noticeboard at your own home.

[@GrandTickler]

Hi, i create a character and nickname in Palia , but when i wanted to create it , it says “character creation failed, character registration already in flight please wait” i keep changing the name for the whole day and try again but cannot

[@nervsouly]

I kinda worry about Palia's sustainability. We all know MMO players are content devourers, and I feel like with what there is in the game atm most people will get bored rather quickly. Honestly, I was so surprised to learn about the Beta because last I heard about Palia was in 2021 when New World failed me hard and I was just browsing news. Back then it was expected to be many years until the game was ready for launch, and now it has only been two. Wondering if it was enough time to provide an MMO sized experience.

[@KNic0lson]

I dunno with the level of crafting and base building so it could be as popular as minecraft. And if there is a strong chatty friendly community then it could become like VRchat or 2nd life

[@rs8319]

Great tips - thanks so much, cannot wait to get startet. 🙂

[@sikirex1303]

[@tantasties]

How do I get to play it? Like....where do I download it? It looks amazing!!!

It's currently in closed beta so you require a key. Open beta launches on the 10th and you can download it from palia.com then. It will be free to play. It is planned to release on the switch later in the year (around christmas).

🤣🤣🤣

[@ColinPoole]

We can't start changing the definitions of words. MMO wasn't a thing back in the days of the 100 player servers. We called them ORPGs or all kinds of other things. When server architectures were invented that allowed LARGE numbers of simultaneous players the MASSIVELY multiplayer online game became a thing. This game is not an MMO. The developers should not characterize it as an MMO. Going onto the Discord and uttering the letters MMO launches fervent debates because people don't understand what the very first letter in MMO is about. The false advertising is going to piss people like me off who are joining expecting hundreds of people to be running around us and instead get a far more localized game. There is no need to set yourself up to disappoint players when you can simply not brand it as something that it is not.

[@Fleurs_]

I get where you are coming from, what would you call it instead?

[@ColinPoole]

We could go with a MUD - Multi-User Dungeon - used to be reserved for text-based multiplayer games even though the term didn't explicitly infer text. After that we went to Graphical MUD while searching for better terminology. Then ORPG for the online roleplaying game. MUD, ORPG, simply call it a multi-player game. Basically almost every definition that excludes large scale could apply - MMO is pretty much the only thing it is not. MMO would be an additional qualifier if the game met the "massive" condition - so we call it whatever we call multiplayer games that don't allow for hundreds of players to share a persistent space. As a gamer who ONLY enjoys games where I'm surrounded by hundreds or thousands of players I need that acronym to retain its meaning so I can find the games I'm interested in - if MMO gets appropriated by the entire online game community then all I ask for is a NEW acronym for JUST the large ones - but again...we already have that. Memory is hazy but we might even have used MORPG and MMORPG depending on scale but I've been playing ORPGs since 1994 so it all blends together.

[@alexandreblais8756]

it has been said by some game staff that there MIGHT be a capital city in a future update where there can be a lot more players at once in the same area.
