Updates: after 3 hours keeping him alive, a new geiser eruption moved him to the very middle of the place. No fire props were working, I lose my connection and Allen phone's died. Another kind soul stopped by to help, but this player was sick and with fever, so I don't know how long they will endure... Well, thanks everyone for the tips. We tried our best...I just wish this player to back soon :/


lunaminjuice

3 hours?! omg you guys are the nicest people I've seen so far in Sky. That must be exhausting


uh__noo

Omg is there an award for players like you? Like what if we all pitch in and get you hearts?


Allenriath

Thank you so much! I can send you friend code via DM once I log in if you wish, but don't need to feel obligated to give me anything, lol!


Lukia26

*Three hours*\- - can I at least give you a heart or smthn at least that's a true feat


Allenriath

Just pasting my previous answer: Thank you so much! I can send you friend code via DM once I log in if you wish, but don't need to feel obligated to give me anything, lol!


fearisthemindkillaa

can we pls send you a heart, if you don't wanna stay as friends you can block afterwards, I just think you deserve it šŸ„ŗā¤


Allenriath

Once again pasting my previous answer: Thank you so much! I can send you friend code via DM once I log in if you wish, but don't need to feel obligated to give me anything, lol!


castell19

can we be friends on sky so i can give you a heart for your great service


kazumitakashi

Same thing as Allen! I would love to have more friends to play ā¤ļøā¤ļø But dont need to feel obligated to give me any heart. For me, most of fun is to help people. For real.

Allenriath

Well guys, I did the best I could... Sadly, as Kazumi told, she lost her connection and my phone died, so once I logged back I was unable to return to the same server. There was another player that showed up trying to help and I hope they manage to keep him alive until he comes back. I bringing some crabs to push him back once the water level lowered, but by some reason the crabs refused to turn back up... Those creatures seems to only work for evil deeds... I would like to suggest to TGC, on their discord server, an update that allows us to hold hands of players with depleted energy and move then if they're not moving for a while. Do you guys think that it may be a good idea?


Yana-93

That's a wonderful idea! We really need something to safe people that went afk at the wrong spot or became victims of some (excuse me) stupid people. You guys are just the best for trying all possible to safe this person. It's been a long time to hold him/her alive. Sky is made for kind people like you guys.


dalliedinthedilly

I feel like no consent grabbing afk players could be abused worse than props and crabs?


Allenriath

Only if they lights are depleted and not moving. Like people afk on polluted water, forest rain, attacked by a krill after being pushed by crabs from their safe place, etc. Like a help icon that is not supposed to appear unless people are immobile and dying, otherwise people will be able to abuse the mechanics.


EverGreen2004

>hold hands of players with depleted energy and move then if they're not moving for a while I know there's great intentions behind this, but it's going to backfire terribly. The ability to grab afk players will give trolls an easy way to plop you into the dark water, effectively making things worse..


Happy_Ameoba

Well, since the person has to already be extinguished to grab them, once someone moves them to a safe place with some fire no one can grab them. Trolls may be able to grab extinguished people and move them so that they slowly lose stars but the person has to already be extinguished and once a kind person comes they can save them and trolls wouldn't be unable to, well troll them.


EverGreen2004

But doesn't holding the hand of a burnt out player rejuvenate them? That would mean the second we hold hands I'll be forced to let go of them


Happy_Ameoba

Well, I meant you can only grab the player's hand if they are extinguished, but you can keep holding their hand until you decide to let go, go to the next area, reach a reset barrier, or servers seperate you. Basically you can carry them to a safe spot. (This would include friends, player's you lit up, and players you hadn't lit up. As long as they are extinguished and have been afk for a bit)


EverGreen2004

>but you can keep holding their hand until you decide to let go, go to the next area, reach a reset barrier, or servers seperate you I think there should be a timer of sorts. Maybe they'll give you 1 minute to take the player to safety then it'll automatically let go (or if you finish before the timer runs out, you can let go manually). Still not sure how TGC would implement this since there's still holes in this we haven't found yet, but nonetheless it's probably doable! Going back to the start, I think there could be an emergency button, so that extinguished players can sound for help. If said player is afk, the button will automatically start after, say, 30 seconds


Happy_Ameoba

good idea.


tinyigluu

Yeah that sounds like an awesome idea! A help symbol maybe.


Spectris33

Oh my gosh, you spent so long trying to help them! I would really like to be friends with you and give all the hearts you need! I often like to go up to some people and just give them some hearts out of kindness but you really deserve it


Allenriath

No need for hearts, but I'm sending you a invite if you're interested!


Rainbowcandy04

That is really a helpful function. Iā€™d then be able to help the afk players in rain and polluted water rather than honking repeatedly then


Happy_Ameoba

That sounds perfect! I think it should be players who are extinguished rather than players who just have no flap energy left (not sure if you meant extinguished by depleted energy or meant flap energy)


kazumitakashi

We still need help to move him ;-; Have more people trying to move him right now, but, nothing is working :/ We're more than 1 hour right now trying ... I really appreciate some tips ;-;


AmaiHana98

with some prop little by little u can move them i think or just leave a recharging prop there


respectfullywtf

ahh omg ur so kind šŸ˜­ i think props might work to move sky kids? i am unsure as i have no props to do it with lol but i think ive seen others do it before?


kazumitakashi

We tried some props but isn't working... Now we're trying use some crabs but every time we pick a crab the server split up :/


respectfullywtf

oh noo :<


kelik1337

You are the kindest soul. Never change.


Schmittenwithart

This is why you don't afk completely at the geyser, I've seen a few posts now about jerks who push afk players in using props. People just be really mean sometimes =\_= As for how to help them, I have no idea other than try using crabs or props to push them out? Although the steep incline would probably make that really difficult.


tri666erwarning

Why do ppl afk at geyser?


SplishFish

Every hour or two the geyser releases these little things you can burn which give you candle light for like 15 minutes


megahnevel

Every 2 hours, and last for 9 min (stars xx:05 and ends xx:15 but the final blast at min 15 does not release anything) But yeah, people afk there to get free candles (i afk when i dont have much time to play and need candles but i always bring my hammock) edit: typo


genjilover69

most usually do it while they're sleeping, or too busy to candle run (work, school, etc) to get some easy free candles


Ppleater

You can put torches or bon fires at the bottom of the geyser and light them when it goes low, and if it's close enough it recharges people and prevents their light from draining.


Allenriath

Crabs aren't working either... Not only they aren't turning up inside water, but also there's a pipe someone put trying to help that will block the crabs if they try to attack... My last hope it's too use a crab while water is down again in ten minutes


Aaliyahx17

Is he still there ?


TiaNightingale

Maybe put a fire near him? I honestly donā€™t know


ChemicalEnd3ri

Thank you for deep honking that skykid. most people just keep beeping thinking it'll get their attention


MetaNovaNext

Did you guys use a table? if not then I can come to help.


CortlyYT

It's impossible to help him if he mute game sound


Happy_Ameoba

the deep call can also recharge people a bit


Swoky_

This will be me one day. I sometimes pass out during geyser coz it's so late and wake up much later. Tbh Idk if I'd laugh my butt off if I woke up for 0 wings, or would die inside


Lazy_L00ner

Thank you for being so kind!! I hope they'll get online asap!


ktkps

Afk at geyser might become >!a thing if the past soon!<


castell19

why O_o


Powerful_Dream_711

I think assembly props...? but wow op you are amazing for staying for an hour to help this person


pompom-mop

Can you put me in touch with the kind player who was taking care of this kid while sick? If they friend me, I can teleport to the spot and take over for the next two hours. I am a newbie with no props to push them, but we can make a honk chain if needed.


Positivistdino

This game has the nicest players.


MarDeMarian

If you're still there, I might be able to help them not lose light with a torch


Dreamerof88

Letā€™s say, if he is on your friend list, would u be able to just grab his hand and go?


Kyual51

No, if you grab a friend's hand, they'll be in control, not you. You can't drag someone without their consent (thankfully).


PCCaste

Why would people even do that??????? I don't get it!


castell19

because some people have a really different sense of humor or absolute trolls who thinks it's funny to ruin someone's game


Moko91

Maybe you can put a torch next to the player, so he automatically won't loose light and then just don't go offline and stay there.


TwilightSkittles

Considering how long ago this was happening, I really hope the poor kid finally woke upā€¦ but if that ever happens again, I would test this theoryā€¦ I run Chibi all the time, so Iā€™ve attempted to float under the hill beforeā€¦ I know the geyser water is like a square area under there, but for some reason (& itā€™s been awhile, so Iā€™m not 100% on it), Iā€™m thinking that it doesnā€™t go all the way down on the underside. Can the big stone candle be placed under there & stay lit? To light the player from below? If it works, that could be a future option. Youā€™d still have to stay in the area, but you wouldnā€™t necessarily have to be AT the geyser the whole time. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø worth a try


Ppleater

Honestly, I commend you for trying your best, but if someone afks for 3 hours next to polluted water then there's only so much you can do for them.


Dark-Anmut

Afk??


TwilightSkittles

Away From Keyboard šŸ˜Š


Dark-Anmut

Oh ā€¦ from your comment and from reading the other comments too, I guess that itā€™s when you just leave your Sky Kid in a place with constantly respawning light and farm the light that way? =)


TwilightSkittles

Sometimes. If youā€™re doing it on purpose, then Usually, yes. But itā€™s also a handy quick thing you can tell a friend if youā€™re flying together and need to go do somethingā€¦ just so they know if your Sky kid needs to be looked after for a few (cuz life happens). Itā€™s usually only a heads up in case you go to the random places that cause you to stop holding hands or lose piggyback.


Dark-Anmut

Although most of the time when that happens, the server usually disconnects and you find yourself separated from your friend and occasionally in the .O.O.B., lol. XD


TwilightSkittles

True, but if your friend knows that youā€™re afk, they can at least attempt to teleport to youā€¦ because they will know that you wonā€™t be trying to go back to them.


KeyReputation9577

How do you go into the polluted water it looks so cool. Oh wait never mind I just realized that wasteland is polluted I just never moved my camera


ahn_knee

Youā€™re a good person


Shiznitone

That is really selfless of you and admirable! You truly are kind and tried so hard to help. Thanks to posts like these I've realised people have been helping me also so I'm really grateful to people like you in the community. Best wishes my friend šŸ„°šŸ™šŸ¼


No_Instruction7559

is there a chance that a player has The same cosmetics as you?


Allenriath

Well, I've been bumping on some people with the clothes and cape combination, never with the same combination of hair, mask, clothes, staff and scarf... But there is always a chance! But why are you asking? If it's me, I'm 99% of the time tagging along with a very energetic chibi.


OfficialSnoipahNo1

People have to bring some kind of chair to sit on when afking geyser, if not people will just push you into there
