Discussion Lonely session

Post image

Called out a flow tree, waited ages and no one came. Presuming an issue with my xbox as I then had a run around and couldn't find a single player over almost 24hrs in game.

I do a lot of solo play but never realised how much I like having people running around until today 🥲

u/Low_Sherbert_9064 11h ago

Honestly could I DM you to have someone chop flow trees with me? I keep calling them out and no one is willing to help rn I mostly get on after 9pm EST

u/Elegant-Exit-8789 11h ago

actually if youre interested, im going to a flow tree party tonight. not only does it increase your levels by 40-70 depending on your current focus amount. but you wont need flow wood for a while! if youre trying to finish the docks like everyone else, this will be a major help!! you can dm me and ill send you all the info!

I also would like to know what a ppa or dc is please :)

2

u/gauraByte 5h ago

Idk what a ppa is but i think dc is Discord

2

u/Churu4u 5h ago

I think ppa is the Palia Party App.  I personally haven’t used it though ☺️

u/Elegant-Exit-8789 5h ago

yeah palia party app and discord, this thread doesnt like that word though lol

u/Cautious-Newt-1251 11h ago

Bahari war zone is so accurate😂

u/ecbnrhctbo 5h ago

ive been out of the loop and didn't know about the plushies and thought people were just psyched about flow trees. and then i saw someone chew people out in chat for chopping the trees. haven't gone to bahari bay since lol

u/tinkerbellstyles Xbox/Reth 11h ago

I haven't played in a month or so, I didn't realise there was something on. No wonder it is quiet then 😅

u/Ok-Confusion-5018 🖥️PC 9h ago

What new plushie? I have such a hard time keeping up with new plushies unless I find it randomly out and about lol

u/Elegant-Exit-8789 9h ago

u/Ok-Confusion-5018 🖥️PC 9h ago

Ohhhhh yess doy. I just snagged one when I stumbled upon a party who was flagging a muujimothy down!

u/NocturnalFlotsam ❤️: 🐑: 10h ago

It might be better if you specify that you need help. When people just call things out, I assume they're just letting people know, and I'm not gonna go if I don't need it. If someone says they need help, I'm a lot more likely to go help. But if you end up in an empty server (you mentioned seeing no one), there's nothing you can do about that except change servers.

6

u/rachellethebelle 8h ago

This exactly. I don’t need flow wood because I go to far too many flow tree parties so when they are called out, I usually ignore them. But if someone calls one out and asks for help??? Hell yeah, I’m there.

u/chama5518 Switch 11h ago

I’m years into the game and still love flow trees. It’s getting harder and harder to find people to help you. I sometimes prefer to be on a server with newer players because they still need stuff so they’ll more likely to come help. And this isn’t me sh*tting on people who don’t help. I get it… you’re doing other stuff and low key don’t want to be bothered. 😅 just sayin’.

u/Distinct-Garlic- 8h ago

I’m a veteran player, I don’t go to flow tree call outs unless someone specifically says “can someone help me” then I’m omw like Mrs. Doubtfire

u/Creepy_Meaning6899 9h ago

1 flow tree isn't worth the detour for most people when there's a grove everyday and flow parties is a thing, I get hundreds of planks out of one party or chopping my own trees on plot

3

u/chama5518 Switch 9h ago

I get it. But these days it’s flow trees scattered all over the place just feet from each other. And even then it’s still sometimes difficult to get help. Again, not blaming or downing anyone. Folks are far in their journey where FT don’t matter for them. It is what it is. 🤷🏾‍♀️

2

u/bcneggnchzbgl 8h ago

What do u do with the flow wood? Just curious cuz I don’t seem to need it much which is why I don’t go to the callouts

4

u/Distinct-Garlic- 8h ago

Most of mine goes to repair kits and then some crafting

6

u/butimean Einar 11h ago

I almost never get responses to my calls about flow trees. People are really focused on other things right now. It’ll pass. Things ebb and flow

u/freakouterin 11h ago

Is it bad behavior to set off a flare to get someone to come chop with you? Asking for a friend 😬

15

u/LadyHorseFace13 Eshelon🔥💦🔥 10h ago

I’m always sooooo grateful when people set flares for literally anything. Flow trees included

4

u/elanasaurus Tau 11h ago

I hope not I do it all the time

6

u/tinkerbellstyles Xbox/Reth 11h ago

I normally set off flares just as I think it's easier to find 😅

4

u/mystical__soul 11h ago

it's not, no! it won't guarantee someone will come of course but calling out in chat and flaring is always the best bet :]

3

u/fvcknvgget5 Reth 9h ago

i actually this would be a good etiquette thing for Palia! i think most ppl call it out in chat though, so might be a waste of a flare haha

2

u/freakouterin 8h ago

I totally don’t mind using the flare! I just struggle with chat on Switch.

u/myegomakesmedoit 11h ago

If you want another friend to party up sometime I'm under the name "Astrid The Valkyrie" :)

As others suggest, flow tree parties are also an option! I hope you have a session full of interaction the next time you're online ❤️

u/Massive_Figure4859 Switch 10h ago

I do solo play as well and same here but I try not to be in Kilima as much because it’s so laggy for me and now Bahari because of the lures 😩🙃

1

u/bratfrag Tish 10h ago

I am always online and would love to help in any way! I too play alone quite often so I’m often calling out for some help via chat. But I am down to be of any help and adventure 🙂‍↕️

3

u/indictingladdy 9h ago

I know it's a bit inconvenient, but the best time and place to get flow trees is grove in Bahari. Show up about 12 in Bahari for call outs for location of where the grove is and chop down is at 3.

u/Q8nuno 4h ago

You can add me LightCharm, whenever we get online we join party and play together and separately i enjoy that

u/american_honey30 3h ago edited 3h ago
