The links for the community streams lead back to this post instead of the twitch channel.

As I've read and listened to the different points of view, I'm wondering if there aren't underlying concerns. Skipping the story and a general distaste for paying for progress seem to be the main concern. Logically, what difference does it make if a person wants to skip the story. It's their loss and their money. Maybe that isn't the deeper, possibly unconscious concern. A twitch streamer brought up how the emotional connection to lotus makes no sense until after new war. New players look at the community calling her "space mom" and don't get it. That made me question how the community might change with story skip. Would this peculiarly kind and helpful community be changed without that emotional connection? Is that what makes this rare gem of a gaming society so rare? Sure, new war is a long and daunting task. Does the completion of that gauntlet change the relationship between player and game? Would story skip ultimately weaken the connections? That's probably my biggest concern. Maybe a mentoring program or or some way for "older" players to help new players get through faster would be a better solution. There are plenty of players willing to help. We've only been here a little over a year. Complete strangers that we end up in squads with offer to help all the time. They ask if we need help completing things when they see the lower rank. I know people would be happy to help newbies get through or even fast track certain missions. It would be more work for you, the devs, but might ultimately be worth it to maintain the amazing community that plays in your world.

Could you just make the story levels multi-player? We've been playing for a year and the hardest part was trying to figure it out. If you're in with other players, they help you because this is an amazing community. Cut scenes would just show you but you could play with a squad. Would that be a "it's possible but not really" option from a programming perspective?

I loved the idea of story time with grandma. I haveca hard time keeping track of the story while playing. It gets a bit jumbled with 4 people in the house at different places in the story too. Not turning pages like yarelli. Just let her go straight through so I can listen to story time. You can start where you want and stop any time but otherwise it just auto plays.

I hope twitch got it worked out for tonight. We didn’t get the drop yesterday because twitch freaked out mid-stream. We're all at 88%.

Yeah. Eu changes time before the rest of the world. I put them in my Google calendar and set the time to edt. It converts it all for me.

The SiejoUmbra link is not working.

Thank you! I appreciate the community interaction and some free stuff to go with it isn't bad either.
