DON'T DO THESE THINGS WHEN PLAYING SKY: COTL!!! (OWN OPINION) • Sky: Children of the Light

the worst thing ever is when you're at a door or something that requires two or more people and someone chibi falls right in front of you instead of helping

I don't think trying to light ppl is something toxic, but the insistence of it (by honking a lot, following everywhere) can end up being boring and annoying :c

When I was a moth I thought you had to light everything so I lit even the candles on the benches😭😭

for all the people disagreeing about whether lighting up people is 'toxic' or not: this is just a silly little game. meant to be relaxing and enjoyable. and yes socialization plays a big role. so if you want to light people up, then do it. just don't be too insistent. if they don't want to, then just walk away and move on with it. there are plenty of people out there willing to light you back and plenty of outfits to see. srsly, it's really not that deep :/

i dont think that person led the krill to you 😭 they just barely escaped it and it happened to be hivh enough that when it turned it accidentally spotted you- but yeah dont lead a krill to anyone

Dude I remember I had a friend who would get upset when I didn't greet them immediately! There were times I was stuck at a cutscene because of unfinished quests and they would become very passive aggressive. This would be so frequent that we aren't friends anymore. Please understand that just because people are not able to say hi to you doesn't mean they hate or disrespect you.

Honestly, I hate, hate, HAAATE it when players throw tantrums over me not wanting to follow them or take their hand. I'll let go, bow, and be on my way and they will mad/cry emote at me and I'm like...man I wish there was an unfriend option already, not just a block. :/

Honestly, I don't expect all my friends to go say hi to me, especially if they merge with me at home upon logging in on Sky. I know the feeling all too well, logging in on Sky just to make a QR code for someone, or you forgot to claim dailies etc. Or maybe you've had a rough day / your social battery died and you just want to be left alone. In any case, I don't take it personally if people run away from me at home. We never know what they're going through or why they logged in on Sky. We don't have a private space we load into after all so there's no way to do things like create a QR code, claim dailies, send light etc without potentially merging with friends. Just because someone logs in on Sky, doesn't necessarily mean they actually mean to play the game. Which sounds weird, but that's just Sky's bad game design for you I suppose.

Other than that I agree with all other points :)

Another thing is intentionally getting moths killed by krill. It's so mean and alot of moths leave or uninstall the game because they get frustrated. It is NEVER ok to exploit new players for your own entertainment and fun. This happened to me my first time on sky and someone helped me get to wastelands just to let me die there and then leave me alone. Thankfully my now best friend (their name I gave them is Etux) saw this and apologized for that players actions and assured me that not every player is like this and to give the game another chance. I gladly accepted and now I play this game almost every day❤

The worst thing must be when you spend the whole day to complete the leading spirit task then you see some one seeking at the end or seeking behind you and enjoying all of your hard works

Im sorry by number 1 is such a non issue. You will be playing with them anyway, they will just be grey so what difference will that make?. Plus ignoring someone like that is straight up rude

i ABSOLUTELY HATE when im changing outfits and someone puts themselves in fron of the camera, prevents me for interacting with the closet, and demands I lit their candle by honking non stop. Usually i just ignore it, get still and go away from my phone until they get bored, cause the last thing i want to do is give in to rude demands of unknown people. It annoys me SO MUCH.

The last one the player didn’t even lead the krill to you, they just went out of the krill's sight. The player probably didn’t even see you, they were on the opposite side of the mountain. After they left the sight of the krill, it turned its head to look around like it normally does. Then it spotted you. Also you could’ve easily went behind the mountain instead of going home.

Another bad things :
-steals fox , manta(toys) from other player and throw it away
-disturbs players when they were playing musical instruments
-puts things on players while they were sleeping
-taking pictures from couples (leave them alone plz , that’s very rude , they need their own space together)

I remember someone putting a table and they asked me my country so I said Mexico and they proceeded to call me a drug dealer 😭

Being respectful when someone is playing music is another one for sure!

Writing this comment in a rush💦 in the past, My little sister and I encountered this Japanese player. At that time, we were in the 8 player room waiting for more players to join. Usually, while I wait for more players, I would play around with other players by pressing emotes. So we went to the centre of the room and do the spinning emote while my sister is doing the jump emote(?) . Then the Japanese player set up a camp fire there and stomped at me then points at the camp fire. So I sat and they spoke to me in Japanese and I translated, they said “ you are too noisy, I think you are bothering other players. If you do it again I’m going to report you to the higher ups”. This of course shocks me 💀 I thought it is normal to do emotes while waiting, they made me and my sister felt like we’re criminals lmao. After that we were scared of this person and we left sksksk. Maybe that player needs silence ( m a y b e ) but if they do want silence, what’s the harm in approaching and just asking nicely abt it bruh 😭 due to this my little sister stopped playing the game bcs she’s scared she will bother more ppl and feels uncomfortable when there’s another player in the server. If this is about Japan having strict rule of being quiet then they should know that the server is not limited to Japanese, it’s a global server so their rules don’t apply 💀 I really want an opinion on this like, maybe I am spamming emotes at the wrong time or something idk sksksksk

my 2yrs experience with sky was amazing, not until my old friends started disappearing, some of them would walk past me. As pinay, I'm fine

There was a case when a player asked me where I was from, and I answered that I was from Russia, then he took it and left after I wrote. And before that, we praised each other and talked at the table.

i'm still new to the game and only recently realised that the candles on a bench use up. When i joined i was just lighting up everything i saw including benches :<
In my defense i've been playing for only a little bit more than a week
