🎮〕illuvium-overworld

[ionic warren]

I hope they have something planned to implement something like this 🙏 that would definitely add more excitement to the overworld. Could add a cool sense of progression/challenge to every run that would feel rewarding for completing

[gaunt storm]

Hey Just reaching out to see how your experience has been since you have been playing. Love to hear if you are still having troubles, and provide assistance and understand better how to help players in similar positions.

I will always advocate for reasonable difficulty. especially as you move up in stages. The dopamine high of achieving something would disappear otherwise. And we still want these assets to hold nice value.

It is still a balance of keeping it accessible to a large population of players though.

[queen bobcat]

OW main purpose is still "pack opening" people pay for a certain amount of loot. If you make the amount of loot skillbased, good luck on onboarding the other 80% of total gaming playerbase.

[gaunt storm]

I would say the main purpose is to have fun and gaining illuvials is part of that fun. Like I said there is a balance. We will actively monitor engagement and retention. I think it will be fairly easy to scale difficulty up and down to reach the largest player base possible.

[queen bobcat]

Did you really use the Word balancing and easy in 1 sentence? 😂

We shall see...
I mean i don't care, but i can't See being healthy for ow if you exclude most children, casuals and 40+ people.

[gaunt storm]

What I mean is there are many levers that the team can use to change the difficulty of the overworld. Finding the balance of difficulty will be an iterative process for sure. But i'm optimistic we will find the right parameters to understand our players and then optimize the game to drive engaged gamers

[queen bobcat]

You can talk arround it as much as you want.
It's giving skilled gamer more loot for $ than the others.
If you think thats positive for getting and keeping playerbase i guess we are just disagreeing each other

[olive drift]

do we get to keep the stuff we forge in beta?

[tribal bear]

No

[rapid hawk]

Hey in 40+ I don't feel excluded. The hard sell for my age group is pulling them away from multi player games they are already established in.
I'll be pushing my friends once I have some evidence to show.

[twin raven]

Yeah I've enjoyed it so far👍

[queen bobcat]

You sure about that?
What possibilities do we have now to get high skilled player more/better loot.

Make attacking plants hard to beat is not possible, cause then it Results in non skilled player can't Farm at all.
You could probabably hier high Tier loot in places where unskilled Players can't reach them. But thats not really a more loot thing, it's mir a high skilled are faster in looting thing.
So most likely it will get to high Tiers are Hard to catch, because nonskilled can't Beat the encounters.

There are probably more possibilities than that, which i don't think of right now

Or they add new features. But that takes time.

[mystic temple]

well playing it actualy helps to get good at it .....lol

Once the overworld has an iluviary and an effecitive market place its attractiveness will boom

I cant keep track of my captures in da overworld

[rapid hawk]

I hear you. I don't want it super hard either. I guess for me it's just like any game. As long as it is not unachievable, in that i can improve my skills without paying lots of cash, then it's all good.
We don't really know yet either. I'm guessing it has been thought about.
Let's see how things pan out.
What exactly is it that you think is going to be too hard?

[queen bobcat]

I know what you mean.
But saying high skilled should get more/better loot means by Definition that some% of Playerbase won't achive the skills needed.

You basically just saying "as Long as the bar is below me i'm fine" 😂

[rapid hawk]

Ah I see. I think asing as it's not punishing it should be okay. Lol.

[pallid sparrow]

Do we know if a RTX 3070 Laptop GPU is going to be good enough to play Overworld or will I need something more powerful?

I think the laptop part has the same 8GB memory as desktop but performance is probably equal to a RTX 3060 desktop.

[pliant raven]

is public launch date different than public beta? what is the difference between public beta and public launch date (if any?) @silk heart

so public beta for all 3 (overworld, arena, zero).. likely EOY 2023 given infographic, but what is public release/launch, if there is a timeline for that?

[queen bobcat]

It's the Same, no difference

[foggy jetty]

hello, how to get access to the alpha being the owner of the megapack?
Should I get a code or how does this process work?

[indigo quiver]

what is a megapack?

[silk heart]

Maybe he’s talking about having bought an #🎮〕illuvium-beyond mega D1sk

Beyond disks contain illuvitars and not illuvials.

[rancid radish]

@silk heart 👀

[silk heart]

Yes?

[rancid radish]

[craggy sable]

Will free to play players only be able to capture tier 0's?

Like if you travel without fuel this region will only have tier 0's?

[spice edge]

yes

[craggy sable]

Any news if there would be like weekly fuel given or like for completing quests to get fuel for them to be able to enjoy a little bit more than just the tier 0's?

[spice edge]

haven't seen anything official
but I'd assume there will be giveaways and such, but that'll probably be guilds and others hosting those and not the Illuvium team

[craggy sable]

I was thinking about some kind of system that by completing quests etc you'd be able to obtain some "Bound fuel" which cannot be sold and with that you could travel to higher tier regions but everything you get there is aldo "Bound" to your account so it wouldn't be NFT's that can be traded or sold

In that way they can still enjoy the full experience of traveling to higher tiers (much slower than people who pay for fuel obviously) but they can't just grind it out as a play 2 earn game

So won't affect the economy

[spice edge]

You may wanna add this as an idea in the #1020759212172775464 channel or tag @pearl zephyr , since he asked about what types of quests we would like to see a while back: #🎮〕illuvium-overworld message

[craggy sable]

Because I think lots of people cannot afford to pay for it and would feel excluded to only be able to catch and use tier 0's

[craggy sable]

Sure, just wanted to make sure what people think about the idea before I try to write it out in detail

[spice edge]

We don't know the pricing on fuel yet, but you do have a point
As long as it has a cost, there will always be those who can't afford it

[craggy sable]

Yea I was just thinking this would attract a bigger audiance, because even people who could afford it might not want to invest their money into it

Same for games where people spend tons of money on skins and cosmetics, while other just like to play the game and eventhough they have the money, don't want to waste their money on it

[steep reef]

Is to heavy for my laptop

Is there any way to lower graphics even more

[craggy sable]

I don't think so for now (could be wrong)

[steep reef]

Thet are on low n still game freezes for me

They are

Can i add u to friends, maybe i could send u some ss

Screenshots

@craggy sable

[craggy sable]

Yea but there's not much you can do about it I think for now 😅

[steep crow]

What are the minimum requirements you should have on the laptop?

[indigo quiver]

Nothing has been officially posted since they are still optimizing the game

[steep crow]

And unofficially what do you think i should have in ram,etc?

[indigo quiver]

i dont know anything about computers so im not the person to ask

[steep crow]

Someone knows?

[indigo quiver]

these are my specs for the laptop I bought to play 15.6" 144Hz FHD IPS-Type Display, Intel Core i5-10300H Processor, GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD it plays the game well but I wanna get something more powerful once public launch

[steep crow]

Thanks for the info 👍🏻

[pallid sparrow]

I'm in the same boat. Based on other modern games using the same Unreal engine I would say any mid-range Intel or AMD Zen CPU that is less than 4 years old will be fine, Memory of 8GB is now bare minimum, 16GB would be good, 32GB is not needed for the games but can actually be useful for some shared GPU/CPU memory functions so it may be worth looking at 32GB in Laptops to avoid crashes. All this is straight forward but selecting Graphics Cards is tricky because of the out-right misleading way venders name laptop GPU model numbers. An RTX 3070 in a laptop is NOT the same as a RTX 3070 desktop part. It has less physical cores and also lower clock speeds, smaller boost range with more thermal throttling so it is equal to a RTX 3050Ti or maybe a RTX 3060 at best, even though they happily charge "RTX 3070" money... It also does not get better with latest RTX 4060 or 4070 which are "bigger numbers" but are not any bigger in performance than the older models except for raytracing features which is unusable at this level... The good news is RX 3060 & RX 3070 laptops can manage 1080p Ultra settings or 1440p mid to high (fingers crossed) settings. I think you will enjoy Overworld at that level. If you want to play at 4K ultra for maximum eye candy you can't use a laptop and need a big heavy Gaming rig with Nvidia RTX 3090, RTX 4090 or AMD RX 7900 XT good cooling systems, a nearby power station and fire department on constant standby and a line of credit from the bank unfortunately...

[pallid sparrow]

For those with laptops that have less than RTX 3070 GPU's and dont want to buy a new computer there may be a hack you can use instead. If your laptop has 2 x M.2 slots for storage you could be in luck. The M.2 connector is really a PCI card slot just like in a desktop and has access to 4xPCIe lanes. You can find M.2 to Occulink converter cables for about $20-$25 on Ali Express with an Occulink connector at the other end. You can then buy these cheap little housings with power supply and a PCIe riser slot that can fit a Desktop RTX 3070 or RTX 3070 Ti cards. Companies like GPD are using this to allow their handheld PC's to connect to an external Graphics dock (Google GPD Win 4 and GPD-1 Graphics docks). Those thinking of USB-4 or Thunderbolt eGPU's will not work as the bandwidth is only 40Gb per second and your games will stutter. You must use Oculink which gives 63 Gbps and can feed a RTX 3070 Ti maximum which is good! The only bad news with this awesome hack is you have to be careful with the order of turning on and off the Laptop and your eGPU... DO NOT JUST PULL THE CABLE!!! This would be the same as yanking a graphics card from a live PC.

[steep reef]

Sorry everyone womt happen again

Hey @pallid sparrow can we talk in pm

[indigo quiver]

I have the Asus tuf f15 I wonder if I can do this

[pallid sparrow]

Maybe - the Asus website specs page does say that it has a spare PCI slot for upgrading storage although the model you have uses PCIe 3.0 (and not PCIe 4.0) so bandwidth is lower but it would support an e-GPU setup like I described but don't go higher than an RTX 3060 with 8GB memory (4GB more than you currently have in the RTX 1650) and about double the frames per second and because of the extrra memory better texture quality. It would be a good step up. Alternatively you could look at the Indigo-go kick starter for GPD-1 dock that is supplied pre-built and maybe buy the Oculink kit they sell. You just have to ask them if your PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot is supported and figure out how to rout a flat cable out of your laptop in a clean and tidy way. Performance wise it would be pretty good as the GPD-1 comes with a super energy efficient RX 7600 XT with 8GB so it would be equal or slightly better than a full desktop RTX 3060 and would probably be the closest match to your situation. It depends on the cost and if it is viable and still cheaper than a full laptop upgrade - The upside of buying a pre-made solution is you get some support as a complete package rather than trying to build and support yourself but it tends to cost more than doing it yourself. Search YouTube for "The Phawx" as he has done a few good videos on this. "ETA Prime" has also run tests on the GPD-1 and something he made himself.

[tame flint]

damn, loaded it up today after a while, looks great

[gritty wigeon]

Wen open beta?

[lunar orchid]

The plan is Q4 23

[gritty wigeon]

Fo real? No more delay?

Ought to have some decent web 3 game

[lunar orchid]

You can't plan delays. Right now there is no sign for a delay.

[rocky aspen]

Has the team said it’s more likely in December vs earlier 4Q?

[young crystal]

we dream of it....

[silk heart]

I do not know of them saying anything more specific than q4. But comments like this do seem to indicate not early in q4. #1145736367331090432 message

[gritty wigeon]

Obvi bruh. There have been delays over and over so I am kinda sick of the team saying this Q and then oops sorry one more delay

Does not help much that they keep on selling this some card shit

[digital adder]

As it exists right now we're on track for Arena PvP in Q3 and Open Beta in Q4 2023

Are you referring to Cards of Ethernity? if so, it's worth mentioning this IP Deal is great for us as far as rev gen, and only required art input on our side.

[gritty wigeon]

Will wait till Dec to see how this plays out then

[gritty wigeon]

I meant this waves(?) of DISC or sth?

I just want the game up and running so i can finally put my land to some use

[digital adder]

Sure, it's a collectible card game that unlocks in-game skins for collection completion.

[digital adder]

Yep, me too.

[gritty wigeon]

Illuvium cannot compete with Parallels when it comes to a card game

Parallels is way ahead in that realm

[digital adder]

We'll see, we're in the early stages of refining the GDD

Parallel can succeed, and I'll be happy to see it

[gritty wigeon]

So i think the team should just focus on developing and delivering the main game. Unless the team’s war chest has dried up and they need ways to make budget to keep the development going

[gritty wigeon]

What is GDD?

[digital adder]

We are doing exactly that. The GDD for the Illuvium Beyond CCG includes a disclaimer that it be developed at an appropriate time.

[mystic temple]

since when did we have another fubar

I forgott my morse code I swear there was a light blinking morse code at me in abysal basin the other day

[surreal iron]

im struggling to find Rhodivium & Osvium?? Any suggestions

finding lots of rare things but struggling to upgrade boots or jetpack

[indigo quiver]

to upgrade boots and jetpack you need to go to stage 0

to upgrade your visor you go to stage 1

[shut tusk]

Kind of like Fight4ETH just said, you can only mine Rhodivium and Osvium in Stage 0 runs

[surreal iron]

ok that explains it, ive been doing 3, then 2 then 1 with basic equipment ... thanks time for a few 0 runs

[frosty mango]

Will the games be optimized for release? I no longer play Overworld due to the quality a Big pixels...

[trail venture]

Just a random one that we’ve seen quite a lot through betas is people being a bit confused with what the Overworld is, as it’s probably going to exist in several different versions and be used in different game modes in the years to come

Do you think there is value in expanding on the naming of it to Illuvium Overworld: Insert Something Cool Here

E.G

Illuvium Overworld: Hunt & Gather

Illuvium Overworld: Catch & Collect

Illuvium Overworld: Monster Capture

Illuvium Overworld: Capture Adventure

I feel like there’s a much cooler name out there to be thought of, but just something that clearly conveys the essence of the Overworld to make it clear that this is the place you go to capture Illuvials

Illuvium Overworld: Illuvial Capture

[tribal bear]

I dont think it should just be named based on illuvial capturing because of the other NFT assets you get from it. (Augments, Armors, Items)

*in current form

[trail venture]

Illuvium Overworld: Mine The Rocks

Illuvium Overworld: Ultimate Plant Harvest

[tribal bear]

LOL

https://tenor.com/view/foundrocks-rocks-hunter-gif-18163888

[trail venture]

I’m just memeing, but one of the biggest issues I see amplified is people being confused about the expectation that the name Illuvium Overworld sets, as it sounds very expansive and open, when in reality it is solo player instance based Illuvial pack opening in some lovely environments

[tribal bear]

As someone who has been flamed perhaps 100s of times while trying to explain that to people I totally get it

[indigo quiver]

7 regions is not expansive?

[tribal bear]

I think he meant more gameplay wise

[regal chasm]

Also very important for me @digital adder! Played PB1 on my MacBookPro, PB2 is loading 5 min at start...
I understand a ton was added to PB2 and MBPro is not really a gamer hardware, but:

• another ton (more illuvials, animations, later more regions) will be added to the overworld
• I saw also a YT review of of gamer complaining 95% GPU usage playing overworld
  So tbh, I'm concerned.

[plush plover]

First you build the game, then you optimise it

[regal chasm]

But then they hopefully started already - only 3,5 months left

[dawn creek]

Nothing wrong with the game utilising 100% of your gpu. If your framerate is uncapped either your cpu or gpu will be at 100% usage

[queen bobcat]

Where would i cap that?

[dawn creek]

you can cap your framerate in the ingame settings (cap it at your monitor's refresh rate)

[vast nova]

Good morning, guys. i received an email to my mail account that I joined the beta, but the code did not arrive, where can I find the code

[silk heart]

What storage are you referring to exactly?
This tutorial video probably covers it though. https://youtu.be/xl6TsHqeV0c?si=NIZDKTqyYoxxZx7k

[mystic temple]

somebody please tell me there is an iluviary coming in open beta my pices of papper and spreadsheats are worthless

[lunar orchid]

Looks like if you check the homepage.

But you can use right now some of the fan pages. Like illuvihub or illuvidata or illuvial master

[vast nova]

I mean inventory. Currently I have 5 Illuvials. When I try to send some captured Illuvials from my storage, I get a message ' inventory full'.

[queen bobcat]

There's a drone Chip you can put in your drone if you want more.

[mystic temple]

cuaght ya scoriox 😉

[mystic temple]

done upgrade drive me nuts the ones I want and have always displace the ones I want to keep how am I supposed to get 35% capture and 35 % chance of escape at the same time

[rapid hawk]

I feel this.

[limber nimbus]

Is Overworld or Zero in public now? or still in beta?

[silk heart]

Private beta

[hybrid needle]

My best hunting chip set gives me 45% Capture Power and -50% Chance to Escape and the ability to have 13 Illuvial's

[spice edge]

Why not run higher capture power instead of escape chance?

[hybrid needle]

It was luck of the draw and random attributes but I have very few failures now so I might not change. Actually my last failure was an escape so I might want to lower my chance for escape

[spice edge]

Just curious, because the Chance to escape only has an effect if you fail the capture. So having higher capture power should give less risk of anything escaping without having to invest points in an additional stat.

[hybrid needle]

I like your logic I guess I was looking at it as two separate events first your capture power affects the chance of capturing and then it either escapes or not thus the need to reduce the chance of escape. Do you know how the programming in the game works?

[spice edge]

Not exactly, but I know it was mentioned that the Chance to Escape only applies to the actual flee calculation that takes place if you fail a capture attempt, not the actual capture attempt itself.
#🎮〕illuvium-overworld message
#🎮〕illuvium-overworld message

[hybrid needle]

I see, if I read that correctly a successful capture has zero chance of escape. In order to have an escape you must have a failed capture.

[mystic temple]

that is definately not true I have had many escapes without a failed capture unless they are not reporting the failed capture

[steel maple]

Is anyone experiencing mouse glitching problems in the overworld. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling illuvium but the problem remains

[spice edge]

Not failing a capture means it succeeded, thus it's impossible to have an escape because you already caught the illuvial.

When Moz4rt fails a capture you get the exploding animation instead of the fireworks, that's how the game reports that the capture failed.
Immediately after, the game checks if the illuvial escapes the encounter or not. If it escapes, the game tells you. If it doesn't escape it remains inside the encounter.

[spice edge]

Glitching how?

[mystic temple]

It sometimes says capture failed thats all im saying they are not directly related i think i might be wrong

[steel maple]

The mouse cursor disappears and lags and won’t select things

It’s only in illuvium not other games so isn’t a mouse or pc issue I don’t think.

I’ve never had this issue in overworld before. I haven’t played for a couple months so thought it might have just needed updating. So I uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem remains

[spice edge]

You're right about that.
They're not related.
Capture chance only influences the chance of a succesful capture.
Escape chance only affects the chance of the illuvial fleeing from the encounter, not escaping the capture attempt.
Fleeing is only checked if you fail to capture.

Hope that clears things up.

[spice edge]

I've had some lag in inventory menus, but that's about all.
Have you tried swapping between fullscreen and windowed mode, and does it happen regardless which one you use?

[steel maple]

I haven’t tried that no. It happens mainly in the encounters autobattle. But pretty much everywhere. Cursor flashes and disappears and won’t click on things

I’ve swapped out the mouse for a different mouse so it’s not a hardware problem

[spice edge]

Are you accidentally activating Caps Lock?
That button automatically hides the cursor in encounters and when interacting with stuff

[steel maple]

I did not know that. I will double check that tomorrow.

Does it make the cursor stay hidden at all times?

This flashes and sometimes responds

[spice edge]

Not quite sure, I just checked the hotkey list, so not 100% sure how it works

Actually it says it shows the cursor.

But since it affects it in some way it may still be worth looking into

[steel maple]

The cursor flashes and disappears like as though there is a very loose connection. Sometimes works for a second then not ect

[spice edge]

could be issues with graphics drivers maybe?

[steel maple]

I’ll check the caps lock.

[steel maple]

Shouldn’t be as there are lots of other games installed and all are working fine. Pc is only 6 months old and pretty high spec

[steel maple]

I will update the drivers tomorrow though just in case

[mystic temple]

dang it that might be why my rampyer escpaed

i got so excited

[steel maple]

I couldn’t even catch a kukka tonight

[austere dove]

Hey, just trying to understand a bit more about the games mechanics.

From the website it says for overworld:

"As more and more are found, their capture rate will change, because it is fundamentally tied to the number that have been captured thus far"

Does that only apply to my experience of the game? Or across the world?

What im trying to work out is if I got into the game late...say like a few months after it launches would my chances of catching a "common" illuvial be much harder than if I started playing from day 1 of release because less of a certain illuvial would be captured?

Sorry if this has been answered before! cheers.

[digital adder]

It's a global supply curve of the Illuvials

If everyone playing at Open Beta launch targets Atlas, it's fair to assume it would be more difficult for you to catch Atlas when you begin playing

It will never be impossible, but depending on player behavior it may become more difficult or significantly more difficult

[austere dove]

I understand and thank you for the answer. I best get in at launch!!

[lethal kraken]

@digital adder How are illuvials made?

[digital adder]

Cmon now, I can't say that! I'd be out of the job!

Lore ser

[queen bobcat]

over time there will be new sets of Illuvials introduced, so you could say that bonding curve also resets when a new set goes live.

[austere dove]

Had a feeling there would be. Makes sense and will help to encourage new players to join each cycle.

Good stuff

Are the shards 1 shard per illuvial? like a Pokeball essentially?

[queen bobcat]

yes ser

[vast nova]

New to the World. In which region can I find Irivium, Gallivium and Rubivium? Need them to upgrade drone capacitor.

Everywhere I see it's only Osivium and Rodivium.

[hoary bear]

It's not the region that matters, but the Stage of the travel. Try selecting Stage 1, 2, or 3 instead of 0, and you'll start finding other ores.

[vast nova]

ah! Ok. Thanks

Didn't know that

[unique bone]

Overworld game is amazing, in the grind to capture illuvials and when the game is live, we can sell our illuvials on the market, will there be an option to also sell your shards of the market? I feel the grind to find resources and shards, to then capture illuvials, but if want to just buy the shards, and then go out and capture that will be cool. The person that did grind to find the shards can earn for their time put in and the person that wants to capture only, can buy shards of the illuvidex. Just a thought, not sure if there is a plan. Thanks Fam.

The same would go for the levelled Up boots, jet pack, helmet and weapon.

[hoary bear]

almost everything will be a tradable asset, so you can expect to be able to buy/sell shards, Illuvials, weapons, mineable resources, and many others.

[unique bone]

Nice, thanks Kyle.

you guys seen this? It is sad but true that the gaming community will take a LOT to shift this view...

[nova bough]

It will indeed take a lot of time for the players to watch a single video on how to transport themselves out of sanctum mesa
These people play the pre-beta version and act as if it is final. XD

I do agree to some extent; the art of illuvium is incredible and, while that is actually good for the Museum like gameplay of the overworld, it is not everything a game needs.

I am looking forward to OW3 where hopefully the game is less GPU intensive and a little more polished. And then the team will have another 5 months for the end of Q1 which is probably enough time to fix any gameplay issues :]

Tbh what these critics need is a clean open beta release. And this is exactly what the team is promising us by extending the roadmap. 👍

[pearl zephyr]

it's the same for all of us, i'm sure.

[mystic temple]

Fubarph is back from Holiday all is well 😉 spent half a day in the hospital looking after my wife who didnt speak the dialect so the none filippino had to get by with English ....lol ....unfortunately the Ugly one survied food posoning 😉

can get back to playing again now

[oblique roost]

Oof food poisoning no good… fish? Or fried food?

[open harness]

sounds like seafood. shellfish or oysters/clams

[mystic temple]

a good old seafood feast at the enchanted river

[open harness]

there you go!

[mystic temple]

I had to buy extra luggage for the fruit she brought back .....grrrrr

intotal we had 256 kg luggage allowance I nearly had a heart attack carrying the stuff

we didnt use it all 😉

[sonic lark]

Logged out mid exploration of brigtland steps. Picked up 3 weeks later with my progress saved. Checked the leaderboard...

[thick palm]

Lol. Yep, timers don't stop when you log out. It's usually a good idea to finish a run before ending your session

[ruby oasis]

Well, actually if we listen to this video open minded and ok with criticism, there is some good points.

First ok we agree he did not to make the time to read everything, he basically didn t know pvp will be the main thing, he don t know there is he real story behind it, he don t know there will be tutorial ect...
Let's move on about it and just comment some points.

"The game is boring"

"Like all crypto shity games and project, nothing realeased yet and of course no problem you have shitload of shiny NFT to buy already"

"No multiplayer for overworld which would actually make lot of interest"

And the last one :

"There had lots and lots delays since 2021 and more are probably gonna come because they would be foolish to launch in the actual state"

If we put aside our love for illuvium and the amazing work done by the art team, well I can t say he is really wrong ... and that s hurting for sure because since 2021 I am really into this.

**Again the major problem is communication, I remember late 2021 a post from Kieran saying how he is sorry that they will not meet the q4 2021 OB launch, then it was postponed for April 2022 and 2 month before he still was saying "not sure we re gonna hit it but we won t be far".

All this communication BS (Because for sure he knew there were 0way to release in April 2022) only to get money, keep the investors ect.

All this impact the credibility and the image and the good work the people working on the game are doing ... all this, because of shitty communication.**

Just be transparent "we have this this this still to do, we have this problem, this is almost fixed ect"

Give a date you believe in ... not the bulshit dates we had and have, let the people work good and not in rush.

How could we even launch with 0 test with many player connected to a testnet ?
Is the plan if there is problem 1-3 month after launch to say "ohh it s not our fault, it s immutable fault" ?

To conclude, he is not totally wrong even if he is harsh

[queen bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/same-page-together-together-i-see-you-agree-gif-12042827

[digital adder]

Nobody on the team is afraid of the harsh feedback, there is plenty of truth as you say despite the video feeling like an attack.

The reality is that delivery estimates are extremely tough to get right, they rely on team members having a sound understanding of the implementation end-result well ahead of time and accounting for all of the technical & human dependencies + more.

As Kieran mentions in his most recent announcement, Lance has joined us as a Program Manager dedicated to mapping out the product roadmap & dependencies in even greater detail to what we have now.

Note: We do have each Project (21+ projects) mapped out 6-months in advance and a view of the critical path with the various key milestones including time estimates at the Task & Sub-Task level.

We're pushing hard to ensure (and expect) the recent delay is closer to 'slight delay', than 'significant delay'

[hybrid needle]

I always start a new journey then sign out that way if I want to do more runs I have the 5000 reset plus whatever run I start in.

[sage nova]

I haven't watched the video, but if the summary is correct:

We have to be really careful, when marketing Overworld to web 2 gamers.

If we don't make it explicitly clear, that this is essentially a disk opening and not yet a fully fledged game by itself, they will be extremely disappointed and angry. Especially when they have to pay for reach run. It doesn't matter, if the fuel price is fixed or floating.

I would market Arena to the masses and make sure that there are always cheap decks to buy or that gamers can play for free with sponsored decks.
I would market Overworld and Beyond to a web 3 audience (and web 2 collectors) and slowly open it up to the rest of the world.
I would call it Illuvium Overworld: Play and Collect

Arena creates demand for Illuvials, Overworld delivers the supply.

In the real world economy supply is generated by a few highly experienced and skilled entrepreneurs and companies, demand comes from millions of consumers.

We should not try to make every gamer an entrepreneur in our Illuvium economy. This will never ever succeed.

I am in favor of a Web2.5 model that separates both worlds through innovations in sponsorships etc.

[wicked thunder]

I spoke to the creator in his discord. He was missing some facts regarding the game.

For example he didn't see why would auto-battler be 1v1. Because all of the prominent ones are FFA.
Then I made comparisson to TCGs which predominantly are 1v1 and it made sense for him.

I agree that videos like this should totally be watched with an open mind. There are things to learn from criticism. And I'm happy that I see the team working on everything mentioned in the video.

[trail venture]

Brought this up a couple of weeks ago, couldn’t agree more, but I do think personally Overworld should be called Overworld: Illuvial Capture

[sage nova]

Yes, I saw that. I don't care about specific names, as long as it becomes clear what this game is all about.

[frosty mango]

illuvial hunting ^^

[sage nova]

Hm, maybe Illuvial Hunt and Collect? Somehow the collection aspect should be recognizable?

I think people will accept that collecting cards costs money, but they won't accept that playing a game costs money (per run in our case).

[patent thistle]

Hunt and collect sounds good

[ruby oasis]

yep and remember it will be a freaking grind, it s not like said at the begining you pay X to open a pack of card.
you ll need to spend countless runs that you ll pay to mine shitload of componments, then upgrate at least a little your warrior, you ll neet to pay to get ores and probably consumable to craft the augment, and you ll also pay many runs to collect shards and then pay again to catch.

It s not simply "pay and catch illuvials"

looks like it will be a freaking grind at the level of many mmo quest "kill 200 chicken and get your shitty reward" it will be very very painfull to get to a correct deck to be competitive in the arena.

for me the "pack openings is more go and by in the second market illuvials"
Ow is just a farming for hours game that some people will love, and some people will get tired doing it just to get their decks

[sage nova]

It will be similiar to the grind I am currently going through with Yuga's HV-MTL Forge.

As you said, some will love this. But not many, when they have to pay for their fuel.

[trail venture]

Illuvium Overworld: Collect & Capture

I don't know why, I just feel like Hunt isn't the right word as it just doesn't align with either Traditional Hunting or Monster Hunter, just gives a very different impression of what the gameplay interaction would be

I do hope both Marketing & Game Council feel there is a need to set Gameplay expectation within the Overworld Title, or else we are just going to get a lot of reviews with heavily mismanaged expectations on launch

[tribal bear]

I'll leave that up to the creative marketing types

But I obviously agree it needs to be marketed correctly because its something that has not been done with our current community that past couple years

[digital adder]

Agreed, I'll take this back to Marketing and ensure this is front of mind.

[young crystal]

yep, he does make good points past the trash talk

[young crystal]

yeah, explaining to anyone that each run will cost money immediately lights up a thousand red flags to all gamers.

Personally, I like the entire concept of having fuel produced on the lands to supply traveling, capturing and crafting, plus having the entire free T0 version of overworld and the price tag on the rest. After all, we are trying to build a gaming universe with real world economy.
One thing I think they should consider is the issue of balancing 3 different travel costs and rewards. Obviously, people will figure out what is the most cost effective travel and ONLY use that one... Maybe there should be only one travel option (payed version), and let the rng gods decide what you get when the map is generated...

[silk tusk]

Are you able to keep the illuvials you capture now? Or will they get reset on a certain time?

[indigo quiver]

Game will get reset before Public Launch

Public launch is estimated EOY/ Q1 2024

[austere dove]

Is the overworld game going to show other players in your session or is it a private single player session each time you play?

[silk heart]

It’s single player overworld.

[long ravine]

What do you think about calling it Overworld-Acquisition?

[rapid hawk]

Resource haven?

[rapid hawk]

I feel acquisition is too formal, collect and capture is simple yet maybe too dry.
Can you think of any obscure names?

Doesn't everything get de-materilaised?

OW nano decomposition 😅

[long ravine]

Could be lol

Maybe Illuvium - Pursuit

[rapid hawk]

I like that

[sage nova]

We should also consider that people will abbreviate names. Whatever suffix we add might still be called just Overworld in social media.

Overworld and Zero almost sound like placeholder names, because both are extremely neutral.

Find completely different names?

[mystic temple]

I got a gazzilion blottos for some reasobn

come open beta I will be more efficient

[mystic temple]

explore and collect is my favourite so far

or explore collect and prospres

dang it wont let me edit last

[queen bobcat]

"fill bags and enslave"

[mystic temple]

explore and prospre

or however its splet where is crystal when ya need here

drop ya kecks and be surprised

[trail venture]

Unfortunately, I think it’s best to stay away from the word explore as it’s not a vast Open World Exploration Game and we shouldn’t set that expectation

[stoic nacelle]

Are we able to hook up a remote controller to play illuvium overworld? (Nintendo switch in my case)

[spice edge]

Some people are playing using controllers, but as far as I know there's no official support for it yet.
But if you can get it working, then I see no reason not to use it.

[sharp geyser]

I registered for Illuvium Overworld and its still in pending since days. How long should i wait to accept my registration? Do I have a better chance if I connect my wallet and buy Lands?

[fervent topaz]

I use an XBox controller.

[stoic nacelle]

Do you do anything special or is it seamless cause you on windows?

[silk heart]

I really don’t know how long the wait usually is at this point. But the team gave me some codes to give away to people asking for access in the discord. I’ll ping you in a private thread in #❓❗〕community-help (I will NOT DM or add you as a friend)

I’ll even share the link to the thread…

#1154460407864508436 message

[sharp geyser]

Hey, thanks, iam ready to use the code!

[fervent topaz]

No, I didn't do anything special.🙂

[rapid hawk]

I'm so lost on how to do it.
Do you remap the buttons or just use it?

[pallid sparrow]

Any ideas how much Illuvium Zero land someone would need to produce enough fuel to support a regular player doing two or three higher tier runs per day?

[maiden bluff]

It's still not possible to know, as the prices for runs have not been defined yet

[pallid sparrow]

Completely understand, but I'm keen to hear what people think would be an appropriate amount most would expect.

[maiden bluff]

It's an exercise in futurology

[pallid sparrow]

Sure, I know and it will greatly impact the value of land going forward.

[ruby oasis]

Kieran said for a deck able to compete the top arena it should be somewhere between 50-200$

As it require shitload of runs in overworld to get a good deck, if we believe what he said, then it s should be few cents / run

[pallid sparrow]

Considering the value you get from something like Balder's Gate 3 anything costing more than $250 over a year would look excessively expensive unless the content was absolutely mind-blowing. That kind of fits where I pictured land in Illuvium Zero fitting. $2,500 spent yielding maybe 10% would probably be about right considering the alternative of just holding and staking the ETH. Maybe to play it safe 1 x T3 plus 1 x T1 would give a regular player the "deluxe experience" and be worth the upfront investment. Sadly I paid way more for my T3... So does anyone think I need to add a T1 or is it overkill?

[fervent topaz]

I had never used an XBox controller on PC before. I did look up how to check whether the buttons worked, outside Illuvium, to get it set up. I watched a video, don't remember what I did, it was easy. I signed into Illuvium and just used it. There was one day it didn't work for whatever reason and the next day it did again. If it was hard I wouldn't have figured it out.😂

[bitter dome]

@rapid hawk ds4 turn ps4 controller into Xbox controller easy to set up

[rapid hawk]

Thanks, I tried to use a program with a Logitech controller. It worked yet some of the buttons didn't map. It was just annoying, so I gave up. I'll try again.

[bitter dome]

@rapid hawk if you need any information let me know

[fervent topaz]

Hope you get something working..I tried playing with my keyboard and just died constantly.

[rapid hawk]

Thanks Torial, I'll give it another go.

[chilly palm]

Hey, I tried to use the "basic index capacitor" to increase my illuvials slots from 5 to 9 but it didn't work.
The support told me that I have to use the "supreme index capacitor".
So what is the use of the "basic" one pls?

[spice edge]

Index Capacitor [+4/6/8 Illuvial Slots]
There are 3 stages to each Drone chip. For the Index Capacitor, Basic is the one that gives +4, Advanced gives +6, and Supreme gives +8.

I just tested it and the Basic one works just fine for me:

[chilly palm]

That's what I understood, so theorically, I start with 5 illuvials slots, if I add the Basic index (+4) I should have 9 slots available right?

Which is not the case because I m still at 5, even if I use the Basic index

[spice edge]

Yes, it should look like this in the interface

[chilly palm]

Ok. I reported the bug to the support but they answered to me that I used the wrong index

[spice edge]

It doesn't auto-update when changing chips, so you have to close the inventory/storage windows and re-open them for it to update

[chilly palm]

Yes, I even closed and exit the game. When reopen still at 5 slots

[spice edge]

That's odd.

I just tried opening my storage and then equipping the chip, and it's not working.

If I close the storage and open it again, it works

so it's a bit buggy

[chilly palm]

Ok When I'll be again close to my computer, I will try it again.

[spice edge]

Sometimes when you close the game after changing a chip, it resets what's equipped to what it was previously, so it might be that it unequipped when you closed the game

[chilly palm]

Allright, I'll check it again
Thx for your help 😉

[spice edge]

No problem

[mystic temple]

I cant wait untill the day comes when i can telll my wife thats why im “ playing that game all day” lol but only just back online inet been out for 3 days

[surreal iron]

I bought xbox controller and for me so much easier to play when running around jumping, using jetpack etc. Only downside is have to use keyboard to mine rocks, change inventory, ie when you need to press E or R I have to use keyboard. Same with arena battle i have to use mouse and as controller don't work. Probably could map it somehow in future but i just plug and played which is about my tech level.

[rapid hawk]

Thanks Killer sloth,
It's kind of my tech level too.

[finite steppe]

How does the mechanics of the shrinking zone work at the time of landing in an overlord?

[queen bobcat]

For now in PB2, as soon as you get lower than 1k energy it starts shrinking.

[young crystal]

what we need is a way to change keybinds on the keyboard.

[iron nimbus]

Just watching the scoriox ama and other Kieran re cost of each run. I’ve probably played 50+ days worth of Overworld now and therefore 50+ tier 3 runs. If each stage 3 run is $50 I’d have spent $2,500 so far 😂

I don’t have 1 Rhamphyre yet. I’ve got 1 ebb, 1 pho, don’t have a scoriox or sear.

A stage 3 run should cost less than 2$ max

What people in web 3 will pay is totally irrelevant for what they should be aiming at

[tribal bear]

Completely agree

[digital adder]

Yes agreed

Game Design Team and Game Design Council will work to ensure pricing is appropriate for our target markets.

[iron nimbus]

How long it has taken has actually felt about right

But I don’t think I’d go over $500 total spend on playing Overworld

If that (maybe $300)

[tribal bear]

I would listen much more to the earlier statement made by Kieran about a meta deck costing $50-$200 than the pricing numbers he gave for individual travels

I think that is more in line of what people have been thinking about it

[coral scarab]

Are you guys sure about this? Its not such an easy decision.

What if we fail to attract a substantial amount of web2 players initially and the price of a competitive deck is 50$?

Let's say we reach 500k playerbase, 50$ average for a deck only nets 25mil, of which the treasury only gets 5mil in best case scenario. Once people are comfortable with their decks, they will probably supplement them through illuvidex since they will need specific units and not spend on fuel.

We are a web3 project after all, alot different than any web2 game economy wise. Many points are to be considered, rather than just how much a deck will cost in order to look good in web2 eyes.

[tribal bear]

That is just for the Ascendent Arena

Leviathan decks are going to cost a fortune

[iron nimbus]

50 is too low. More like 150 I’d say to get a decent one and higher for a good one

[coral scarab]

Who is gonna compete in Leviathan then? 100 whales battling each other? They will quickly get bored of that, you need them to compete in a large pool for retention.

Do we know how Leviathan final version looks like? Is it just ascendant with stats?

[mystic temple]

you all gonna be paying me millions for my excess overworld kills 😉

[tribal bear]

Depends how popular the game ends up being. The more players we get the more whales will be a part of that.

What we know about Leviathan right now is that levels and stats will be incorporated and will make a big battle power difference

[mystic temple]

Im still trying to work out the algo but I think im getting there ...well im close to getting all .....lol

trying to work out if getting the lower tiers first improves the hier tier encounter rate

[coral scarab]

The way I understand it rn, seems survival of the project will depend on Leviathan being the main draw and revenue generator.

Seems a bit risky with so many unknowns

[tribal bear]

I think it's too early to really know anything right now in terms of that and how many players we will have.
But yes whales generally make up the majority of games revenue so both the Leviathan Arena and just a general collection of Holos/Dark Holos should be excellent sources for that.

If Holos/Dark Holos are desired by collectors and their appearance rates are low enough then that can cause a lot of travels for hunting

[coral scarab]

Yes but whales battling against whales will get boring fast for Leviathan. You need the whales stomping the casuals to tick their superiority complex. Without accessibility and proper incentives it might turn into a ghost town quick.

I think a safer option would be leviathan deck ceiling to be lowered and ascendant a bit higher. A more expensive ascendant deck can work if the weekly rotating deck provides competitive illuvials that can be used in combination with what players own already. That way there is a smoother progression in both.

[tribal bear]

Entirely possible and I'm not the biggest expert on Whale Spending Competitive Play
That's something where the input of someone like @trail venture would be valuable

[coral scarab]

Okay, there was also a point of how a more expensive ascendant deck can work too.

[tribal bear]

The idea behind the free rotation is that itd be a small amount of NFTs meant solely to supplement your team

Having it be too large is something that was not received well from the community iirc as then it would devalue OW too much

[coral scarab]

Yes, maybe 30-50% of a competitive deck would work well

[tribal bear]

Thats something that will be determined later after more modelling and testing but just from a first glance that seems high to me

[coral scarab]

Depends on how much an ascendant competitive deck will end up costing. The higher it is, the higher the %

[tribal bear]

Maybe it just so happens that a free rotation contains 50% of a competitive meta deck but that would just be one of hopefully many of the decks.

In order for that to happen for a large amount of decks the rotation pool would have to be huge

[coral scarab]

It doesn't have to be only meta units in the rotation deck, just competitive ones. Then it's up to the player which one to choose in combination with what they own

[hot shore]

likely they gonna burn ingame rewards to attract players
if it doesnt work do another raise
founder donate their token to treasury

1m ingame rewards
1.1m treasury
1.5m founders token
thats 3.6m token that they can burn/sell to keep afloat

[coral scarab]

well it doesn't have to get there

[hoary bear]

I'm not going to comment on exact prices, but one thing to keep in mind around deck costs is that most players won't just want/have one single deck. They will likely strive to build multiple, some which share assets, others which contain assets unique to that build/strategy. And we're also working on two things that others have mentioned in the Free Starter Decks and Free Rotation of Illuvials. All of these things put together will contribute to a player's investment on the deckbuilding side of things. So just be careful around looking at numbers in a vacuum like "A deck costs X, therefore a player will spend X to play the game." There are many more variables.

[quick girder]

Has the team looked at the new toolkit coming from Apple about porting pc games over yet? Any inicial findings?

Might be traveling a bit next year and only have an m2 Mac

[hasty remnant]

We build natively on Mac.

[quick girder]

Dope - any idea about specs or if it will be avalible post/at launch?

[hot shore]

what are the many more variables, can you list them?

[shadow gull]

Hi - when will nft ownership be enabled inside the overworld?

Also is there a signup list for PB3?

Nvm found the signup!

[maiden bluff]

Open Public Beta

[shadow gull]

Got it thank you.. will PB3 access be emailed to you if you already have PB access?

[thick palm]

Beta access is beta access. If you're already in you don't need anything else, just download the new build when it's out

[ruby obsidian]

while playing overworld i cant seem to get the teleport to work

when i go to drop one the left mouse button is grey out

any advice would be great

[oblique roost]

When you hit f and then click it doesn't work?

[silk heart]

I’ve been able to play on my mac for many months now

They have not shared specific minimum specs for anything yet.

[spice edge]

You need to have enough flat space to place one, and there's a limit to how many you can place per travel (3 if I'm not mistaken).

[quick girder]

Oh for real? All 3 games. Mind sharing your model/specs?

[silk heart]

The game running and the game running well aren’t the same thing. I use my MacBook Air. 2020 M1. It’s not very fast or anything. It can run the games on low settings. Mid/High levels of the survival mode start to get low FPS. But I don’t push for the leaderboard anyways. There are sometimes things in the overworld that lower the FPS too. But I think that’s really been improved a lot in the last few builds.

I only play a couple times a month.

[quick girder]

Dope ty

[hot shore]

do u think i should get mb air m2 or pro 14?

im currently using x1 carbon and loving the light weight

hi rich, i am going to try what vana phantom has said about a flatter spot and see if that works,

i got it to work on a flatter spot but i also worked out you even know the left mouse botton is grayed out i had to hold the click button for more than 3 sec to drop the marker, thanks for everyone help.

@plush ploverok

[bright zealot]

@plush plover should we have nfts to play Iluvium Overworld and which ones?

[plush plover]

<@&795142782133207063> somebody help this guy? ⬆️

[oblique roost]

Currently No

We are in private beta

Nothing connected up

[bright zealot]

@oblique roost so for now we only need land to play play to earn?

[silk heart]

There’s not play to earn yet. The games are in testing. Just play to test

The blockchain economy should go live early in 2024

That’s open public beta launch

[simple siren]

How do I get to play overworld. My beta registration is still pending. Are there any specific requirements?
Sorry. I am totally new to illuvium. Just bought some of those D1sks, absolutely no idea why I did that 😃

[dawn creek]

ask in #💬〕general for a key

[simple siren]

Got it from Peter, Thank a lot 👍

[harsh token]

where are we in terms of the release of the game?

in terms of the nfts existing

[lunar orchid]

Public beta is planned for Q1 24. so not that far away.

[clear valley]

Just curious havent popped in for a while, but with all the delays have they decided to go ahead and add Illuvials to the overworld, replacing the wisps?

[indigo quiver]

That is the final goal still but not for Public Launch coming in Q1 2024

[clear valley]

That to me is a mistake, large one to.

will greatly affect the success of the game.

[indigo quiver]

They are improving the way the wakes work atm, you won't just shoot them and they freeze. I think the team is working on the wakes moving away from you so you have to chase them which would be really cool until they can get Illuvials in the Overworld

[clear valley]

Why waste time improving the wakes when you can just add the illuvials to the overworld. Putting effort into a MUCH better system would be better use of time and capital. Your comment just makes me even more worried about the future of this investment.

[indigo quiver]

Not having Illuvials in the OW at launch wont make or break the game, just my opinion

"just add Illuvials to the overworld" I dont think its that easy 🤣 they created 150+ Illuvials they would have to make OW movements for everyone of them

[clear valley]

making or brekaing maybe not, but could. will deffinatly have an large affet tho. They already have Walking and running animations. Litterly everything in Arena is ALL you need to implemtn them into Overworld. Nothing else is needed. Its a BETTER start than boring wisps.

[indigo quiver]

the walking and running in arena is all on a flat surface unlike OW

[clear valley]

so what. spend time working on that rather than anyting on wisps. again better to have an unpoilshed version with illuvials walking around the overwolrd, than a barren and empty world with floating orbs

what would you rather see playing a gmae, floating orbs, or AMAZING BEAUTIFY BEASTS

[indigo quiver]

I mean I agree with you and so does the team but they have a deadline and only so much money to build the game

If the only thing that had to work on was getting Illuvials in the OW then im sure they can do it but they have a million other things to work on to hit the deadline

[clear valley]

Again...my point once again...they are wsting capital investing in a system they will remove, rather than spending little work and time porting in already existing assets......

mean while they spend more effort selling disks......making it seem more more like a money grab then an actually gmae

push the deadline.

would be better for the gmae in the long run

Once a large populis of people are turned off by the boring barren overworld, they will never return.

Or are we Learning NOTHING from D4 lol

[indigo quiver]

lets see how OW is for PB3, perhaps the community does vote to push the deadline to get Illuvials in the OW before public launch

[clear valley]

Are you for pushing to have Illuvias in OW for launch?>

[indigo quiver]

not me no, but anyone can make an IIP and have the community vote on it.

[clear valley]

And is this even on the radaar of the counsil?

[indigo quiver]

You would have to check with the Game Council on this. @tribal bear

I think PVP will be a big hook for players until OW is fully fleshed out

[clear valley]

Your a council member, how do you not know what the council is concidering?

[indigo quiver]

There are different councils I am on the Marketing Council, I have pinged Sjud for you to help with your question

[clear valley]

PvP is dependent on OW. if OW is dead arena is dead. OW is the foundation. get it wrong. dead gmae

[plush plover]

Afaik nobody is gonna make the team implement something that would delay the game even more

[plush plover]

Because the same system can be used later for Illuvials

Learning to walk before you start running kind of stuff

[indigo quiver]

I disagree, without a addictive PVP game then the utility of the Illuvials is only about collecting and that is not enough

[clear valley]

if adding additional interactive entities is to much for these game devs, then this game is already dead.

specaily when they have all the assets already

[clear valley]

THey need each other, absolutly but OW is the foundation of collecting them.

[indigo quiver]

if I got to keep the Illuvials we are catching in the OW in PB2 atm I would be playing all the time regardless if the Illuvials are in the OW or not. We all want Illuvials in the OW but just gotta be realistic about how long that would take to implement. Perhaps when the team is pretty much done with game dev they can let us know how long it would take to get illuvials in the OW and we can vote weather it is worth it or if we have the money to do it

[clear valley]

will be to late by then. sadly.

Its just sad that this isnt already implemented. Literally replace the wisp assets with any illuvial assets. bam. You have illuvial in OW. Copy Paste. Work on polishing walking animations. then after launch you can add them attacking you in OW if desired.

[plush plover]

If it was as easy as you make it sound, they would have done that.

[clear valley]

It is as easy as I make it sound. thats the concerning part. Its basic game stuff here, adding mobs to the world...... excpet worse, casue they already have ALL the assets needed....

Im not asking for much hre, not even concerned if the illuvials attack, or run away. They can continiue to use the random walking the wisps do....

[plush plover]

Maybe @digital adder has more information about this to explain you why it’s not as easy as you think

[clear valley]

Yes please explain why its hard to add entities to a game in which we already have the ability to add them (wisps) and already have the assets needed for the addition of the illuvials (Illuvials already in arena)

[clear valley]

Have you ever played Divinity Original Sin 2?

[digital adder]

It's on the internal roadmap @clear valley , it is perfectly achievable. The OW client team has a scope of work for PB3, PB4 and Open Beta.

[clear valley]

Achievable by launch? And are working to achieve by launch?

[plush plover]

There you go, thanks Nick.

[clear valley]

lol, he gave a none answer.

[plush plover]

We get it, you like to complain. Have a nice day

[digital adder]

I'm not as close to Overworld as someone like Raghu, Andrei or Grant so I really shouldn't comment.

We have strict SOWs for OW PB3 & PB4 and don't chop and change without reason.

[digital adder]

Yeah I agree with you here, It's not my place to really comment on this I'm sorry.

[clear valley]

Okay then can you answer why its hard to implement them? As I am constantly told by fanboys.

[digital adder]

It's simply a matter of focusing our time and energy and prioritizing what we work on, the Overworld Client Team isn't a team of 20 developers.

[clear valley]

Im not asking if we have the people to do it.what does it take in the Code to replace the wisp with ANY illuvial. doesnt even have to have polished OW walking animations.

[plush plover]

They are not just gonna put a floating illuviul there, that would make the entire game look dumb

[clear valley]

My understanding is we have the illuvial assets in Arena, and we ahve the wisp entity in the OW. What is so hard about replacing the assets of the wisp with the assets of an illuvial?>

[clear valley]

Each illuvali already has walking animations in arena, by polished I mean walking animations for non flat terrain liek the arena is. polishing the walking animations would make them not appear to clip into the ground when walking up or down slopes. that can be worked on before launch.

[plush plover]

The art team is proud of what they made (and they should), if they implement them it will be polished

Anyhow good luck finding your answers, I don't have them

[clear valley]

Kinda my point, the illuvials are AMAZING and should be in OW.

[digital adder]

Understand I definitely don't have the complete picture when compared to others working on OW daily.

However this is definitely something the guys are working on when time allows, you have a small team working on Backend Integrations, UI updates, Stats, Leveling & EXP + much more etc.

[plush plover]

And they will be

[digital adder]

We all want them in the game world, as soon as we can make it a priority - they will be.

[clear valley]

my point is they should be a priority for launch. a barren empty OW will turn off players and never return.

[tiny coral]

To be honest I am kinda concerned regarding the general concept we established for paying for OW. I still think that a subscription or fixed sell price would attract more people. Ofc. we would get problems how to keep value in having land...
My point is a web2 player will have trouble with three different currencies that need to be bought.
In general I never really understood why in web3 everything is behind a paywall instead of a grindwall. With high expanses for a OW run we just exclude people from the game. I started to have a look at web3 games because I thought it would be cool if I could have sold my hard earned wow mythic/top tier raid epics for real money.
While a subscription/full price method are pretty well known among web2 players I sincerely doubt that the buy x amount of a currency a,b,c for task y will be received well :/
On the other hand games for mobile use different payment concepts as well and are successful with it but I never saw these as real games 😄
Bottom line for me would be to have a challenging and grindy (in a fun way) OW with a fixed price per month (or maybe even full price game) and good incentives for having high level and high stats t5 Illuvials in OW and Arena.
I would see this as comparable to WOW. Some people learn how to beat a difficult encounter and other just pay for boost run or accept worse gear.
In the end the scenario in which the last run was bad/unlucky and you tell a player that more funds are needed to keep going will be received extremely bad

[simple siren]

Hi, can someone please tell me how to change the 'stage' in overworld. I am stuck in stage 0. I am not able to find the menu for stage selection.

[lunar orchid]

You need to go back to the obelisk and port back to sanctum mesa. Then you can chose another stage by porting to another region.

[simple siren]

Thanks 👍

[lunar orchid]

You're welcome and have a nice Sunday

[silk heart]

I’m going to ask a question based on hearsay and not actual first hand experience or understanding…
How do you feel about what bots have done to the gold economy in WoW?

My understanding is that The per-play paywall is used to create pain for bots. Real people can’t grind harder than bots. If grinding is what it takes to get value extraction from overworld than bots will reign supreme and human players would not be able to compete.

[tiny coral]

Haven't played wow for the last years but during the time I played I never had the feeling that it is a big problem for me because there were always good methods to get enough gold. During classic wow it obviously was much harder to get gold, so, yeah, during that time it was an issue but also during that time blizzard was much more interested to prevent bots.
I get your point regarding bots but aren't there other methods to catch/prevent bots which don't affect everybody else? Just feels like the majority gets punished to make this issue non existing from the start. In web3 preventing bots is obviously more important than in web2 but it is also necessary that we find solutions which don't affect the gaming experience for a web2 gamer because in the end they will just use that as an argument against web3 in general.

[queen bobcat]

I'm also concerned about the need of crypto currencies for playing the game.
There should be an option for just sliding your credit card to buy your stuff.

Nonetheless the pay per run i really like. It's the selling system of cardgames, gas for cars, ticket for subway, repetead micro transaction in mobile games, etc.
I don't see that as a problem really.
There could be a WOW kind of game as a future game, but OW simply isn't meant to be that kind of experience.

[thick palm]

Speaking personally, I'm inclined to agree - I think it makes sense to have some kind of subscription option, even something as simple as auto-buying fuel for folks who would rather not deal with the marketplace. Never played WoW, but I used to play SWTOR quite a bit, and I've still got a pile of unused Cartel Coins from the monthly allowance.

But I'm just a dev, those decisions are outside of my scope 😛

[tiny coral]

Sure, automated rebuys are one option to solve some problems. Personally, I would have my issues with that as well because that is limitless unless there is an option to set a personal limit. Still, in general I see the combination microtransactions and pc games skeptical because that in my opinion is primarily a thing for mobile games. Who knows maybe this combination still works. I guess, I just have to wait and see.

[topaz night]

How is there such a minimal streamer presence for Illuvium Overworld? I remember when I played it for a few weeks it was super fun for me

[indigo quiver]

You don't get to keep any of your progress or Illuvials so people play for awhile and then stop knowing everything gets wiped

[digital adder]

Agree with @indigo quiver here.

PB3 brings additional gameplay depth to Overworld which should result in an uptick. Personally I only play Beta's ahead of a progression wipe to learn mechanics before the full release, I'm sure many feel the same.

[steel maple]

Do we have a definitive answer on how many illuvials will have to be burned to make a skin

[plush plover]

For some reason I have 3 illuvials in my mind

[inner pivot]

Hi, as a lifelong gamer who has no problem busting out my wallet if I'm having fun, I wanted to provide my feedback on the pricing structure of Overworld runs with my reasonings behind each tier and its price.

Tier 0 - Free
Tier 1 - $0.50
Tier 2 - $1.75
Tier 3 - $9.00

This pricing will allow people to get addicted without spending hardly anything.

Tier 0 being free is important, because a lot of players will grind stage 3 Illuvials, by the time they do that, they'll have
have been satisfied with all the free value they've experienced from the game. This will help make it easier to justify taking that first step into the revenue funnel, progressing to the next tier, where they will be spending just $0.50 per run.

You could grind for a whole month on tier 1, where if you averaged 3 runs each day you're 

only spending $45 bucks per month. This is super feasible for casuals and weekend sweaters alike.

By tier 2, the addiction has fully set in. Your mindset is likely in a more competitive state at this point, and spending less 

than $2 bucks for a run where you can pull so much greatness out of, is just an absolute steal of a deal. This is likely where people will
spend most of their time in the Overworld, and averaging just 3 runs per day converts into $157.50 per player, per month. Not bad metrics for
the majority of our player base, since it will generate tons of consistent volume.

And finally a place for the risk takers, the beaters, the one's that Gotta Catch Em All, you'll have tier 3 runs for under $10 bucks.
If you price this between $20 to $50 bucks, it will alienate a huge chunk of gamers who will see this game as momentum tries pushing us into the mainstream.
They'll see the endgame and think, "I will never get there, so I'm not even going to try." Gamers need to know it's at least realistic to run endgame as they're in the decision making process of whether they
download the game, or share it with their friends. You also don't want gamers to feel embarrassed to share this with people due to endgame price points.
If my friends or family knew I was paying $50 bucks for a tier 3 run in this game, I'd feel wasteful, or as a family man even feel selfish, and they'd probably think I was too. This is not a healthy discussion I'd like to have with people where I try and convince them it's worth it. Illuvium needs to be accessible to everyone. People can justify the occasional tier 3 run if it's under $10 bucks. And a saavy farmer/grinder/collector could also justify spending all day ripping nothing but tier 3's.
I could easily see myself spending all day on Saturdays running nothing but tier 3 runs and spending $135 bucks (15 runs @$9.00/each), which would be $540 per month (playing 4 days per month all day). I don't think
I'd allow myself to get addicted to the game if I knew endgame content costed $20 to $50 bucks per run, that would cost someone $1200 to $3000 per month, and that's just for playing all day on Saturdays.

Anyway, I'm sorry if this was poorly written or hard to understand. Feel free to criticize my thoughts. I haven't seen much on what current pricing sentiment looks like, so I figured I'd at least throw my 2 cents out there.

[lusty forge]

Thank you ❤️

[oblique roost]

YW

[inner pivot]

Sure, no problem. But I'm curious, I did a search in the discord and couldn't find many instances of people conjecturing the pricing structure. With the release just months away, I figured I'd see some increased activity surrounding this topic more specifically. If it doesn't exist, then how can we get the conversation started? @sleek slate posted on my idea in the feedback section, and his proposal was very similar to mine, which made me happy to see. If these conversations are happening behind closed doors, is there anyway we can get a feeler for the range of pricing that's being considered for each tier?

[indigo quiver]

Im with you the talk needs to happen, pricing is super important. I don't think we see public launch till end of Q1 2024 so we have time though

[inner pivot]

What would you like to see pricing at yourself for each tier?

The question goes for anyone reading, what pricing would you feel comfortable seeing for the various tiers? Q1 will be here sooner than later, and if the devs have no idea what to plan for, they may miss their mark for what a lot of us are willing to pay. I really do worry they are considering a pricing structure that will completely alienate millions of gamers. $20 - $50 range just isn't realistic for the masses. But maybe they aren't building the game for the masses I honestly don't know.

[silk heart]

What gets me is the cost for travel, the cost for forging, and the cost for curing shards. Three different fuels is fine. But when people talk about cost in here it’s usually only cost per travel. And that’s only one of the three types of costs in the overworld.

Hopefully most people just assume an average cost per run that includes all three, but I fear that most simply consider the cost to travel since that’s the only cost we “pay” in overworld at the moment.

[indigo quiver]

I am thinking a little higher than you but I am not your typical gamer as I come from crypto so take what I say with a grain of salt.

T1- $2
T2-$5
T3- 15

[mystic temple]

a bit of a low key question

can we get an overworld leaderboard on the website I hate running to the consle on the mesa to check im champion 😉

[silk heart]

Yeah I’m probably not a great person to get in game spending data from. Before illuvium my biggest gaming costs each year were for Xbox live.
Now I feel like blowing a few sILV2 on D1sks just for funsies is not a real problem.

[mystic temple]

happend to have a good run today 😉

[silk heart]

Never have I ever

I feel like my top run was like 13k

[mystic temple]

It sad to know I dont own them and I probably have a ramphyer before the wipe but at least I will have the xperience for openbeta

[smoky shoal]

Everyone will get their first Rhamphy and say fuck it, I’m playing until I get a Rhamphyre

[rapid hawk]

Haha, for sure. I imagine no-one talking for a few days, while we are all hauled up in our caves, capturing away.

[young crystal]

I totally agree with your reasoning.

[young crystal]

@digital adder who do we show this to? What's the discussion around the team regarding costs?

[dusky pike]

I'll probably be taking a few days off work to grind 😅

[lunar orchid]

maybe #1020759212172775464 would be a better place to post this.
so it didn´t get lost in the chat here.
It can be discussed there and maybe someone of the team can get back to your feedback.

[inner pivot]

Yes that was already done a couple days ago, what I will do is screenshot people's responses and add them to my feedback-ideas post so the information doesn't get lost. Good idea.

[digital adder]

Hey @inner pivot you can tag Strategy Sub Council in the Feedback Post. This is a discussion point for the Council currently so a great time for us to review.

[inner pivot]

Done, thank you sir.

[inner pivot]

I'd really appreciate if you'd write this again in the feedback channel where I've posted my pricing structure, as it looks like the council will be taking a peak at it shortly.

[inner pivot]

I'm trying to get people to put all this information in one spot, I tried to screenshot your answer to post it in the feedback channel for you, however I don't believe I can post pictures. Would you be so kind as to repost this in the overworld pricing structure post I made?

[inner pivot]

Definitely something valid to consider. I don't think a lot of people are realizing those other functions as additional costs (even though they are), I'm assuming that when people are posting the pricing they're comfortable paying that it would be an all encompassing price (as I have done).

[digital adder]

Just remember the pricing needs to reflect the cost of Decks in Arena, shape a sustainable economy, consider target markets, consider business costs..and more.

It's not simply a matter of thinking 'it should be priced in X way to ensure I can grind the game 8 hours a day'

I'll have a read of your thread throughout the morning

[inner pivot]

I agree, and I appreciate you taking the time to check out my thoughts. I think in general, pricing would be easier to start lower and raise later (if need be), then to start higher and lower it later. Looking forward to your feedback if you choose to give it.

[digital adder]

It's generally accepted that raising prices is much more difficult than lowering them for obvious reasons

In any case let's have SSC review and we can take this into our meeting with Aaron and Ben this week

[inner pivot]

In general I totally agree, but in a game like this if we start too high many people might not give it a chance, whereas if we started lower, people will have a chance to see/feel the value and become addicted to the fun, thus being understanding and ok with a price adjustment. I know what you mean though. Sounds like a good plan to get some higher level coverage on this, as I'd like to start preparing my circle of gamers for what's coming soon.

[quick girder]

While I think scale is important, it’s not the only metric of success.

Developing a highly robust economy that provides a growing revenue stream for future development might not be the same as scaling this to the most number of players.

———

Developing all these assets is not an easy feat especially in the context of an intricate economy like we have.

Giving the market the ability to price them higher and the dao to benefit from high asset prices could work very well.

There are significant risks to pricing these too low, and players blasting through the bonding curve too quickly.

[ruby obsidian]

I am on the hunt to catch a Rhamphy and I want to know if they are only on T3 ? And are they in all 3 worlds

[silk heart]

It should be more likely to find it in t3 and in crimson waste.

But without the depth of the full illuvial roster to auto populate the encounters things are weird sometimes.

[ruby obsidian]

Great, tonight it is Rhamphy season

[waxen pulsar]

it's always Rhamphy season, I hope! 🙂

[ruby obsidian]

Any tips on getting on top of the tunnels on crimson waste?

[thick palm]

it helps if you're good at 3-D platforming 🙂 I find it's easiest to go to the end of a tunnel, and there are usually enough ledges and plants to work your way up. Easier if you upgrade your boots, but it can be done with the base ones

[trim plume]

I've found them in all 3 stages, HIGHLY unlikely in stage 1 run tho

[trim plume]

Thank you, but in the name of feedback I'd love to know what inspired you to share this 🙂

[novel mortar]

Is there any plan to make Overworld (excluding Sanctum Mesa) more social?

[lethal kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/introverting-introvert-recluse-hermit-hiding-gif-16374459

[digital adder]

Yep! Andrei, Grant and OV Team have been working on some exciting changes for Overworld. They should be the ones to share what that is though.

[novel mortar]

Curious to see that

I'm not social IRL but I like PvE games with social components
PvE without any social aspect isn't really exciting to me, I feel like I'm wasting my time

[digital adder]

Multiplayer & Illuvials in the Overworld, highly requested features by DAO & Team. 🙂

[granite marsh]

i won the battle after found portal

what should i do now? i look at 2 illuvials and ?

I can't leave arena

[queen bobcat]

you can click the one you like to catch and throw a shard on it

you can leave the battle at the very top left

[young crystal]

you need to mine on your first run to get some shards, thats something the game doesnt explain for new players

[oblique roost]

People are social IRL?

News to me

[silk heart]

You may find this tutorial video helpful https://youtu.be/xl6TsHqeV0c?si=v0QDqp3afnbvMG1P

[near mantle]

You go full counter strike for illuvium orbs lol

MAybe a genshin we party and pool in the illuvials in battle and we up the difficulty

[iron nimbus]

suprised to see drop rates will be substantially lower in open beta. I've been playing PB2 for months now fairly consistently at times playing 1 tier 1,2 & 3 per day. I'm still a long way off most of the stage 3 illuvials and if we need to level up illuvials to fuse, that feels like it could take forever

perhaps we'll have more energy per run or they're expecting people to play at lot more. If so, they have to be very careful that cost of travel is not too high

[queen bobcat]

if i remember right, someone got them all a while ago

[shut tusk]

yeah it took me 2 months to get 1 of everything but I didn't have to level them up to be able to fuse them. Curious to see what it will look like in PB3, if we can level them up.

[plush current]

Also, drop rates will drop significantly

[shut tusk]

There will also be more total illuvials than there was in PB2. It might take a while before we see a bunch of T5S3 illuvials in the open beta ascendant 😉

[plush current]

Very true. Although I guess there will be WAY more people grinding

[simple siren]

Is there an option to increase drone euipment slots from 3...🤑🤔

[iron nimbus]

Maybe I'm just crap at it haha

[shut tusk]

you'll get better 😉 . Also, improving your equipment and drone chips can help you out

[iron nimbus]

Yeah I've not done much of that. Didn't like the drone chip UI so gave up with it!

[shut tusk]

Yeah it takes everyone a bit of time to figure it out, no worries. From what I ear, the team heard the feedback and we might see a nice UI overhaul for the next beta

In the mean time, I recall some content creators making videos where they were describing how it works and I'm pretty sure there was an infographic somewhere helping us knowing which upgrades could go in which slots

Turns out its in the pinned messages 😉

[vast nova]

Hey Guys, can anyone tell me if there are any kind of rewards or something if you are on the leaderboard. New here 👍

[gray lintel]

Hey ashsmh, there's no rewards for the Overworld leaderboard right now

[vast nova]

Ah! Ok. Thanks

[terse cairn]

there is no reward for anything beside the card game i think

[smoky shoal]

How do you feel about the need to deconstruct old items to forge new ones. It’s not very intuitive to me. We have what feels like the whole periodic table of elements we’re working with, why make us construct and deconstruct items to construct other items? @worn lodge

[worn lodge]

Happy with it. It allows fluidity and with so many items being able to swap between weapons as the illuvials you find change.

Whilst keeping the cost down. I don't want people to be locked to using a weapon they made early on due to the costs of swapping

[lilac coral]

In the overworld will we have the option to say we want to build a sword, and you can tag that as a quest and have it in the corner in the ui, when you are out farming for resources you can see what you are missing to craft it

[naive sparrow]

The game will be AAA, just guessing that they will develop useful tools for players.
Someone should already stack those suggestion.🗒️

Game have ot be fun & less complex for casual people, most of the players are playing to have fun & espace something so the experience has to be flawless 👌🏽 Just like the visual will be AAA

[smoky shoal]

That’s a great idea for a few reasons.

[digital adder]

Yeah I love that thought, added to the backlog for consideration

[oblique roost]

Awesome

[bronze marsh]

is it possible to play OV with a xbox controller?

[spice edge]

Some people have got it to work with controllers, but there's no official support for it yet as far as I know.

[bronze marsh]

wonder how they do it

[spice edge]

I'm guessing they rebind keyboard controls to their controller

[ruby obsidian]

stompy i use and xbox controller and it is so much easier to play, all i did was connect the bluetooth and turned it on and it worked, you still need the keypad for a couple of the controls commands

[bronze marsh]

legen thanks, ill get on to it

[bronze marsh]

cheers Vana

[rapid hawk]

new project. getting essences' for augments

[mystic temple]

Can somebody remind me which region the earth iluvials hang out in Im running out of things to catch but need the earth ones 😉

[mystic temple]

you like me a cumpulsive collector even no use right now 😉

[mystic temple]

needs to be fully compatible so I can play naked in bed 😉

[gray lintel]

It takes SO long haha

[mystic temple]

Im trying to bottle my excitement ...but its like a shaken bottle of coke right now

[rapid hawk]

Hehe yep! 😁

[rapid hawk]

Omg it's insane

[spice edge]

Usually see plenty of them in Crimson, slightly less in the other 2 regions.

[mystic temple]

Well Thats ok I Travel there requarly I Need 1 more rhamphitye anywat

[lilac coral]

Can you Level up your illuvials in Arena or is it hust in overworld battles?

[grave verge]

I cant find any illuvials in overworld :/

[spice edge]

you need to shoot the floating orbs and enter the singularities to find them

[thick palm]

That's the idea. Once we get the player Illuvials integrated across products, everything you do with them should gain XP

[spice edge]

Everything? 👀

[grave verge]

Ty. only took 4 orbs to get in 😄

[lilac coral]

Will that be in PB3?

[thick palm]

I can't say any specifics, that's up to the design team to figure out how it works for each game. But that's part of the whole "interoperable" thing. If you'd rather play Arena than OW, you should still be able to level up your Illuvials

[thick palm]

Not my call 😉 I'm just talking generalities here

[tribal bear]

Nice attempt on getting a leak though

[lilac coral]

Honestley not trying to with that question

[lilac coral]

Thank you Brian

[void orbit]

Hey does the land keep it's progress if it gets sold?

[glossy pike]

Heya, see my answer to your question in #🛒〕land-dex

Thanks for the reply, I assume if I transfer it to another wallet the same thing happens?

[glossy pike]

Yeah I think so unfortunately

[simple siren]

Can someone please tell me what is 'leaderboard' about. Is there some prize or something for top ranks 🤔.
Sorry for the noob questions, I just started 10 days back.

[queen bobcat]

no, there is no rewards for this leaderboard.

[glossy wharf]

😊

[simple siren]

Thank u.

[queen bobcat]

it was probably implemented to test the system. Maybe there are something like "quests" or "minigames" implemented in OW, where you can rank in in a leaderboard and get rewards for that.

[mystic temple]

leader board is implemented to those who know 🙂

but im gonna sleep

Put the leader board on the website drive traffic and new customers who am i im just an enuthiast

[simple siren]

@queen bobcat will we keep the equipment, drone chips after private beta or we have to start all over again with the next beta release 🫣

[lunar orchid]

For the next beta we don't know yet if we will keep our stuff. For public beta all will get reset. So everyone starts at 0. Fair launch for everyone.

[ruby obsidian]

I finally got my Rhamphy in brighten steps, now to hunt down another 8 and go for the big daddy

[spark hatch]

i think also next pb we will have a reset or how would you give illuvials stats and levels if they are not in currently.

[queen bobcat]

Most likely

[lunar orchid]

I guess there will be a reset but don't know for sure. That's why I said we don't know yet 😉

[spark hatch]

Can t wait to test stats and leveling.

Really wonder how the game will be balanced with levels.

Are holos in next pb anybody knows

[lunar orchid]

I don't think so. And if I am right, there are still a few missing in the next beta. But ya I can't wait too. Overworld is my main game at illuvium.

[spark hatch]

Love it too can t even imagine once they really belong to us will be really immersive!

Also endless levels is something I think is faq genius. Just imagine after 20 years grind having the higest exp Illuvial arround

[thick palm]

Yes, it's a safe assumption that all of the private beta releases will have a data wipe. We're adding a lot of new features that require changing the data structures, and until NFTs are in play there's not a whole lot of emphasis on backwards compatibility. Easier to just blow it all away and start fresh 🙂

[lunar orchid]

Thank you @thick palm really appreciate it.

A quick question. When IW is released as pubic beta. What all will be wiped out and what all can we still keep from the private beta?

You can keep your memories, your experience with the game, the good feelings that you've helped build something amazing... But all the in-game data will be gone 😛

[simple siren]

Hi, search for 'illuvium overworld tutorial' in youtube. There are very good videos there.

[simple siren]

A tip for you: do 'stage 0' mining for a day or two, get those 'rhodivium' and 'osvium' as much as you can get, upgrade your jetpack and boots. Rest will be easy and easy to learn (once you stop staring at the ranger's backside )

[dreamy creek]

ok

Can the test items be retained after the test is over?

[silk heart]

No.

Nothing is retained after the testing ends.

[simple siren]

You do retain something, the joy of playing the first ever AAA NFT game 😃.

[spice edge]

Also knowledge, and possibly aiming skills

[mystic temple]

they either reset the aming or Ive got better ...lol ...maybe they reset again to confuse us .....roflmao

I think Ive work'd out the exact rock the raphmpyte spawns on ...that will be reset for sure

trick or treat night

We want TREAT

[gaunt storm]

The great advantage!

[thick dock]

This game is far from be a AAA game. Maybe Overword and Arena. Edit: ops I though I was on the IZ chat, my bad.

[simple siren]

It happens! Overworld takes you out of this world 😃

[sacred mist]

i need d1sk or nft to play?

[hybrid needle]

To begin with you had to own land to play but I am not sure if that is still the case

[silk heart]

No. Overworld is f2p but you pay for certain in game actions.

[river tundra]

Free To Play

Begin your adventure with a free-to-play experience that takes you to our richly detailed world, where everyone starts with equal opportunities. Immerse yourself in thrilling gameplay and grasp the fundamentals of the game. The free-to-play experience in the Tier 0 regions offers a full and engaging gameplay experience, without any limitations.

If you enjoy the free-to-play experience, you have the option to dive into the paid elements of the game and discover higher tiered regions, collecting valuable NFTs and embarking on more exciting adventures.

Please keep in mind that after the game's launch, it will be possible to list Tier 0 NFTs on the IlluviDEX to sell them for ETH. However, the value of these NFTs cannot be guaranteed as it is an open market and the price will be influenced by supply and demand factors controlled by the players.

[hybrid needle]

There is nothing to pay for in the game right now

[silk heart]

Yeah. It’s just for testing now.

[hybrid needle]

Do you still have to own land to get a code to play now?

[silk heart]

No.

[hybrid needle]

Got it!

[silk heart]

Just ask and people get a code

[hybrid needle]

I had to win a code playing trivia

[silk heart]

Yeah. They’ve been ramping up onboarding.

[cyan ivy]

Hello, any update for illuvium overworld? When we can start play and earn on overworld?

[plush plover]

Currently planned for Q1 2024

[cyan ivy]

i thought it will happen this year, look like i missed delay news

[simple siren]

Wow . You can capture Rhamphy(T5) with epic shard (T4)... How lucky you have to be to get 2 in one run 😃

[indigo quiver]

Did this happen to you?

[simple siren]

Just now, yes.

[simple siren]

I ran out of T5 shards. Then come two wakes with one rhamphy each. One I got in first attempt, the second took two attempts, all with T4 epic shards.

[indigo quiver]

Thats Awesome!

[simple siren]

I think the 'supreme capture power' drone equipment really helps 😃

Safely tucked away 😃

On Day 20 in overworld

[amber lake]

Hey everyone, all the assets we collect in the beta version will be lost after the official release, right?

[worn lodge]

Yes

[amber lake]

Including NFTs?

[plush plover]

Yes. Only the blueprints you find in #🎮〕illuvium-zero will be able to be minted

[amber lake]

Thanks

[silk heart]

You won’t have any nfts in the testing versions of the games. Because none will be minted. (Except for the few mention from #🎮〕illuvium-zero )

[plush current]

You can’t loose NFT’s. Also see pelicans reply

[sacred mist]

this is will reset after open to public?

[simple siren]

I know. Until then they are mine...😉

It's the experience of it.. That's priceless!

...and I get to do it all over again, better 😃

[paper lark]

when open beta public?

[simple siren]

I think Q1 2024

[plush current]

That’s what the latest road map says

[sharp jay]

Are there any differences between deposits? Only thing that I've noticed is that some are harder to extract from others, but give the same stuff.

[open harness]

Yes. Especially in stage 3 it takes more hits so sometimes it's good to invest in more mining power or less energy usage.

But generally all deposits have their own loot table and percentages

[simple siren]

That means Open beta can be anytime in 2024 not necessarily Q1, probably later.

Still got to cross PB3 and PB4

[simple siren]

The rock names that sound like meteorite (something similar, I can't remember) and agnite something are hardest take 7 -8 extraction, sometimes. But they also yield the best ores (most of the time)

[sharp jay]

@open harness where can I find the table for loots?

[open harness]

Team will not give that info out but once the game is out and apis are shared, we plan to track this to give the community an idea through our site

[sharp jay]

Just ran hinto helio deposit. Was my first time encountering this type of deposit. Super hard to extract

[simple siren]

Yes, helio ... that's the one.

and the other one is agnite I guess.

[sharp jay]

But basically giving me the same stuff

[simple siren]

It gives good stuff like epic shards most of the time, not always.

[sharp jay]

At the moment it doesn't give me the sense of wanting to explore and find certain deposits. I just take what ever I find

[simple siren]

That's best, you can save on scanning cost

[sharp jay]

Especially if it is hard to extract. I might as well just take the easy one

[simple siren]

How far are you with your drone equipment

[sharp jay]

Yea but doesn't that defeat one of the purpose of the game? Makes it boring if you ask me

[sharp jay]

Mining power at 23%

Probably half way through with what we have available

[simple siren]

Once you have got 'supreme' equipment upto tier 4, then you can start scanning for the tier 5 ore and skip the rocks that don't have it. Later you would need only shards, you can skip the rest.

[simple siren]

Try to add 'mining cost reduction' one. It helps a lot.

[simple siren]

This is only in the first few days, when you do mining runs, that you have to get any ore you come across because all of them are needed for something.

[sharp jay]

Okay I'll try

[simple siren]

Stage '0' runs for 'jetpack' and boots.
Stage 1 &2 runs for drone equip T1-T3
Stage 2&3 runs for T4-5 drone stuff.
Use the celestevium and selenvium carefully. They are T5 and are hard to come by.

Supreme jetpack --> Supreme boots -->Supreme Mining cost reduction --> Supreme Mining power --> Supreme visor --> then other T4 - T5 drone stuff including capture power etc. That's how I did. Don't spend T4-T5 ore on armaments and weapons yet.

[sharp jay]

Looks like Lazurite deposits are the most likely to give you shards. Anyone agree?

[simple siren]

Yup

[sharp jay]

Do we have a list of deposits?

[sleek slate]

On OPEN beta will have the same fuel Per day?

[naive sparrow]

Probably not, players will have to pay for that fuel unless they own a land from Illuvium Zero.
For now there is 19 998 land sold on 100k.

[high bay]

Hi all
What is the fastest way to collect rare and epic shards?

[simple siren]

Mining runs in stage 2 and 3.

[high bay]

Which zone of the map is best?
or is it all random?

[simple siren]

Red areas in heatmap (probably you know that already) rest is random.

[high bay]

I thought maybe there were more of them on some map)
low energy in the game for tier3

[simple siren]

Scroll up and see some of the earlier posts, some of the rocks that have a higher chance of having shards are mentioned (something like lazurite, helio, etc)

[high bay]

scroll too much

[simple siren]

It's random. You can't predict where the rocks with shards will be located, at least that is my experience.

[high bay]

Ok
thanks

[shut tusk]

As cloudmage said, the best bet is in stage 2 and stage 3 mining runs. Scoriox has a good video on mining rocks. To find shards, I'd start by looking for the Lazurite and Albite deposits 😉

[obsidian cairn]

Played again since a few months, what are those small animals.....

[queen bobcat]

They are called Morphopods
Used in the podarium in IZ and have maybe other not known usecases

[obsidian cairn]

I want an bird cage with those creatures 😂🐦

[high bay]

One more question)
Now after winning in the arena I can only take 1 Illuvial
but I remember that earlier I could pick up several 2-3 units in one battle in the arena
Does it depend on something?
For example, does it depend on improving equipment or ammunition?

[queen bobcat]

there is a dimensional stability bar at the very top during the battle.
With every Mastery point you use for the fight, that dimensional stability shrinks.
After you won, tryes to catch an illuvial costs you also dimensional stability.
When the stability is below 0 the encounter collapses and you get ported back to the OW.

This means, the less MP you spend to fight the encounter, the more dimensional stability is left and the more chances of catching illuvials you have.

[high bay]

What is MP and how to spend less of it?
I didn't notice this before
will have to look
what affects MP consumption?

[queen bobcat]

MP = Mastery Point
It's the cost you have to pay to put an illuvial on the board, or put an augment on an Illuvial

so basically if you wana catch many Illuvials in one encounter, you should try to beat it with putting as less Illuvials/augements as possible on your board.

[thick palm]

it's the purple bar at the top of the screen. You'll see it shrink when placing Illuvials on the board or trying to capture them. It's basically to encourage you to make smarter and/or riskier choices rather than just throwing out an overwhelming force

[unkempt hamlet]

Hello everyone, someone here wrote a message on how to move step by step in Overworld🫡I can’t find this message,can you help me?

[main star]

Hello, can someone explain to me please the point of collecting stuff in overworld? I can't seem to sell it, or use it in arena?

[naive sparrow]

The games are not connected yet to the blockchain. Games are still in Beta.

You will be able to collect assets (NFTs) from games like OverWorld and use the in Illuvium Zero exemple to craft armor or weapon skin.

The Illuvials you will capture with shards, once all games will be connected to the blockchain then players will be able to use their Illuvials to collect, trade or fight with them in Arena... the choice will be your.

Also, players will need fuels, there is 3 type of fuels so far ( Crypton, Solon, Hyperion).
Fuel will be needed in order to do some action in the Universe of Illuvium exmeple players will need Crypton to travel in Overworld true the 7 differents regions, Solon to craft equiments or Hyperion to cure Shards which are required to capture Illuvials in the OverWorld.

[main star]

Does that mean everyone won't have the base illuvials for arena like we do now? Only what you own from overworld?

[naive sparrow]

Everything from Beta willl be wipe out so everyone can start from the starting line at the same time.
Having acces to Private Beta allow you to have advance knowledge for when the race will start!

We might start with some basic T0 just like you did start in OverWorld.

https://tenor.com/view/start-bugs-bunny-ready-start-run-gif-13506050

[main star]

Interesting, there definitely is a bunch to learn that I have so that is for sure useful, thanks for the info. Is there any idea of when that will be released? I want to rat race

[silk heart]

Arena right now is just the survival mode. And that’s basically just a pve tutorial mode. Arena: Ascendant will be PvP and there will be a few premade teams that players can use. But other than those we will need to have our own illuvials.

[foggy loom]

Does that mean the Illuvials I caught so far from private beta - will be able to use them in the arena until the actual launch, where everything will be wiped?

[open harness]

wiped before open beta but what you described will be the loop after said launch

[foggy loom]

So let’s say I caught a rhamphyre in private beta - will I be able to make my deck out of it in the arena (pvp)?

[lunar orchid]

In the upcoming pvp you can set your team with the team builder. And you got most all of the illuvium ready to use.
Arena and overworld aren't connected yet.

[sage nova]

First of all, congratulations to your election!

Quick question: Do you see a problem with PB3 on Epic launcher and mainstream gamers collecting Illuvials etc., which will all be wiped when we release?

Won't that add a sour taste to the moment of release as a NFT game?

I just imagine being a mainstream gamer, who sees Illuvium on Epic for the first time on 11/28, plays it for months and then all his collected assets are gone, right at the time we release and want to charge them for playing Illuvium.

[lunar orchid]

I don't think so. A lot of steam games that are in early access get a wipe when they go into full game.

[open harness]

Thank you ser.

Quick question: Do you see a problem with PB3 on Epic launcher and mainstream gamers collecting Illuvials etc., which will all be wiped when we release?

No, cause most of the time in early access in web 2 games the data is wiped. When I played WoW beta back in the day they wiped my character and I was fine with it. I got hooked on the game and I couldnt wait for it to come out and play.

[sage nova]

Okay, just wanted to check.

[open harness]

The worry here is if the game drags out but thankfully with tournaments in the horizon, ranked play, etc players will have multiple reasons to keep playing even though they know its all gonna get wiped.

Because they know whats at stake when the game drops.

[unkempt hamlet]

tell me please where this thing comes from ?’common equipment component’

[spice edge]

You get them from deconstructing other crafted equipments of the same type
#🎮〕illuvium-overworld message

[silk heart]

There is currently no connection between illuvials captured in overworld and illuvials available in arena. It sounds to me like There will not be a connection between the illuvials caught in overworld and the illuvials available to include on an arena team anytime soon. Maybe not until public launch on chain in q1 2024.

[severe karma]

What i need to play overworld?

[naive sparrow]

Can you be more specific on your question ?

[severe karma]

What do I need to play overworld and arena? I understand that I need a land to play zero.

[simple siren]

A code..for now... epic games account from 28th..

[severe karma]

I see. Maybe you have beta codes there.

[simple siren]

@marble surge or @oblique roost are the Santas with code

[maiden bluff]

#❓❗〕community-help

[severe karma]

I got it. Thank you

[severe karma]

In Q1 2024, are there any advantages for the testers/players who's in the game since last year?

[maiden bluff]

All players will start equal, no advantage for those testing the game.

[naive sparrow]

Only experience!

[verbal bane]

when overworld launches in q1, will zero be connected to it?

[nova bough]

When the game is launched in Open Beta, roadmap says Q1.
Yes then all games will be onchain ans will interact with one another. Fuel will be produced, usable in Overworld and the Illuvials caught there would be usable in the Arena.

[mystic temple]

its already getting wild in here cant imagine what its gonna be like after the 28th

[kind heart]

why Authentication failed？

Hi i have a question so i downloaded the beta and opened it up and trying to log in but it keeps saying authentication failed but ik im putting in my right email and password does anyone know any tricks to try?

[lunar orchid]

try to use email and pw, not username.

[muted lance]

Ok so I traveled to a new spot three times now .. crashed Everytime.. this laptop is not the strongest but I do use it for Adobe video editing with no issues and unity game making no issue .. I set the graphic to as low as everything can go but it's still eating up video memory.

[simple siren]

Are you on Mac M1 (or M2)

[muted lance]

No windows at the moment. But I'm going to try my Mac when I get home. I want to be able to stream n play. So I need them resources to be lowered .. like I said I dropped all graphic in game and dedicated high performance to the game from my comp settings.

[high bay]

Understood
thanks for the help

[high bay]

and thank you)

how to upgrade weapons and armor?
I know that you need to create and destroy different elements in the forge
I did this 5 or 7 times but in the end I got what I had

[silk heart]

I feel like Brightland steppes ran the smoothest of the three regions on my Mac.

[digital adder]

Good morning mate, if Beta 2 is unplayable on your machine it may be worthwhile waiting for the Beta 3 optimizations.

[high bay]

figured it out a little
armor is easier (needs a lot of resources)
but with weapons it’s a little more difficult since there are 5 levels

Does anyone know the destruction of which weapon (what level) gives the greatest amount of this element?
epic

[simple siren]

Basic - 1
Advanced - 3

...of same tier (the bands at top)

[vague dust]

Is the illuvial level system only important for overworld and leviathan arena?

[mystic temple]

if you using chrome you can also look up your password in the browser setting to double check etc

[hollow orbit]

gm

are the any advantages when you play beta vs the actual launch? besides experience ofc

[indigo quiver]

no

there might be some arena tournaments with prizes during the beta though

[queen bobcat]

But most likely rather in Arena than overworld 🙃

[rotund bison]

When I start overworld, do I have to choose a lvl 0 to catch an Illuvium. I was on lvl 1 and each fight was against 4 or more creatures and I just was boosted🙈

[queen bobcat]

Crafting a weapon for your Ranger helps to get your first illuvials.
I would also recommend to get some t0 illuvials first, before you Start hunting in s1

[rotund bison]

Ok thx mate

[simple siren]

Don't waste time in trying to catch illuvials in the beginning..
Do mining in stage 0, get all the materials for upgrading the jetpack and boots, then mine in stage 1 and upgrade the visor, by then you would have got some tier 1 and above shards to catch tiered illuvials. Then focus on tier -2 mining run for upgrading drone equipment, especially 'capture power', that will help you catch higher tiered illuvials..

[young crystal]

man, it'll be so satisfying to craft augments, armor and weapons after gathering and collecting everything when the game releases. Building those assets to use and sell... can't wait!

[young crystal]

but gotta consider that the first person in the world to capture each illuvial will be signing the illuvidex forever with his name.... it will be a capture run!

[naive sparrow]

How will this work when new illuvials will be created

[simple siren]

They will be wiped out. You have to start all over again with next release (PB3)

[simple siren]

They are not NFT yet. But in final release (or open beta) they will be, but you will be starting from beginning again.

[young crystal]

Thats why I said "it will be"

[simple siren]

Ohh.. got it 👍

[orchid hound]

hold on so whats the point of catching illuvials in overworld if we cant use them to pvp on arena? if you don't mind explaining

[silk heart]

All the games are for testing until the games launch in q1 2024

[orchid hound]

but illuvials caught in OW will be used in arena after launch right?

i mean thats the whole point from where i see it

[queen geyser]

If I was going to buy a gaming laptop to play Overworld, are there any tips on this Discord for min specs, buying advice?

[plush plover]

My advice would be buy the most expensive one

[queen geyser]

That ends up being quite expensive right? Like how much would a decent gaming laptop cost?

[simple siren]

What's the budget allocation 😀

[queen geyser]

(Mac boy so pretty clueless on PC costs) atm open to seeing what’s decent. No fixed budget

[orchid hound]

randomized stats is brilliant, please anyone correct me but does it mean every illuvial in OW will have different stats, and thus the next stages of that illuvial will have those combined unique stats?

[simple siren]

Just buy anything with a graphics card rtx4060 8gb or higher number would be good for atleast 2-3 years. Doesn't matter what CPU Intel/amd, don't bother

[queen geyser]

Ok. Thanks for the info!

[simple siren]

If you want to enjoy the illuvium arena/overworld to the the full extent, a desktop with 4070 (or even 3070ti) should do the job. If money is no object, well you have the 4080 and 4090 😀

[queen geyser]

Is anyone here playing on Macs with Apple Silicon btw?

[simple siren]

I am using Mac M1. Can't use epic settings in graphics. Going to get a desktop with rtx4070.

[queen geyser]

Why? Because Epic don’t have compatible settings for Mac?

[simple siren]

The fps slows to snail speed and you literally have to drag the mouse cursor. M1 Mac is not built for AAA game settings 😀

[simple siren]

Ohh.. epic as in low/medium/high/epic settings, not EPIC store 😀

[queen geyser]

Haha ok!

[stark pumice]

guys what is the point of overworld? every month I log in but there is nothing, just a huge empty dead world. maybe 1 illuvial every 10 min of walking senselessly around?

[naive sparrow]

Press H and search in the red zone of your heat map, Wake spawn randomly each run do enter you will need to look at your heat map.

[simple siren]

Have you tried the supreme visor and supreme heatmap drone equipment?

[stark pumice]

where do I get that?

[simple siren]

Have you mined the rocks and used the forge?

[grizzled torrent]

will this gameplay be the same with public release? understand for beta purposes things need to be taken slowly and everything tested. but in public beta or full release, if you have to mine and forge things before you can start capturing illuvials, not sure if it'll catch the initial attention of the gamer

[silk heart]

In the current beta players can start capturing illuvials immediately. Though those illuvials are the tier 0 illuvials.
It won’t be long after the public launch that some players will be grinding the mining and forging so they can sell the things other less patient players will want to buy.

[grizzled torrent]

thanks. this is helpful

[lucid tangle]

Hello really interested and hoping to start playing today , any chance you could help me out with a beta key 🙏

There are two Santas @marble surge and @oblique roost one of them would usually give the code 😀

[plush plover]

It's weekend guys 😄

But since you woke up Peter

[simple siren]

Is Sunday not the beginning of the week... I have been fooled in school 😱

[marble surge]

unfortunately no codes till release on 28th

[plush plover]

Not in Europe, we start the week on Mondays

[lucid tangle]

ok thanks very much 🙏 How about will buying a piece of land get me access to OW as well?

[simple siren]

No. Land is needed only for playing illuvium zero. Illuvium OW will be available as free to play on 28th this month in EPIC store

[lucid tangle]

I am not saying land is needed to play OW , just would seem logical to include a automatic beta code to the very connected OW game with land ownership

[simple siren]

Sorry buddy. It is not available ATM.

[naive sparrow]

Was in Brightland Steppes and found that beauty in a wake, took my time to take a ss and then the Dimensional Stability of the world was collapsing but I did not noticed & it was to late for me to enter into the encounter.

Today, I learn a good lesson in PB2 always look at your Energy.

See you next time Squizz!

[loud flax]

Are there different resources in each tier?

[simple siren]

Are you referring to 'Tier' of assets (like illuvials, ores, weapons,..) or
The 'stages' (0,1,2,3) in illuvium overworld.

[loud flax]

Stages in the overworld. Like are the resources In stage 0 special to that stage and so on

[simple siren]

Yes. Mostly you get lower 'Tier' resources and illuvials in lower stages, but there is some overlap.

[loud flax]

Oh okay but the shards to catch each illuvial in each stage can only be found in their own stage world correct? Like I can’t find the shards for stage one illuvials in stage 0?

[simple siren]

Not necessarily, in stage 2 runs get even Tier 4 shards.

[loud flax]

Oh wow okay nice. Still getting the hand of things so haven’t ventured past stage 0 yet.

[simple siren]

Ok. Stage 0 is mainly to get started, you get ore for jet pack and boots and you can catch some T0 illuvials to get started. Later, it is not going to be of much use, and yes, you won't get higher tier items in stage 0.

[loud flax]

Should I make the upgraded illuvials from stage 0 before jumping into the next stage?

[simple siren]

Do stage 0 'mining' runs for a day. Focus on upgrading your jet pack and boots, you need lots of Rhodivium and Osvium from stage 0. Then do lots of stage 2 mining runs. You get material for visor and drone. Then you try catching those darn illuvials 😀

[queen bobcat]

I went with Max Boots+jetpack and 2x s 2 dokas, 1x s1 grokko + Ranger sword on the first t1-5 illuvials Hunts und smashed pretty much everything i encountered.

Than i saw i Miss a Lot during the catching process, and i went back mining for more Mozart upgrades 😂

[loud flax]

Alright cool thanks. Trying to have a game plan together by the time epic releases lol. Hoping I can put in enough time to learn everything.

[loud flax]

Nice yea I’ll be sure to grind the dokas heard great things about them lol.

[simple siren]

Good luck.

[loud flax]

Thanks one last question. Do you get that 5000 energy reset every stage you go in on planned release. Or is that something that is unlimited due to the current beta.

[simple siren]

In current beta, yes. Gets reset at UTC 0000 hrs. Not sure about open beta.
Oops.. sorry, yes you get 5000 energy points for every run..

[loud flax]

Oh sorry not the fuel. Whatever the energy used in stages is that you use to mine and scan/interact creature fights. Mine resets every time I join a new stage.

[simple siren]

Yes. 5000 For every run.

[loud flax]

Nice thanks.

[severe karma]

Do you guys know a newbie/starter guide in the overworld?

Like what should I do in the first 24 hours or so

[hybrid needle]

There are lots of them on YouTube

[rapid hawk]

This will also help.

[rotund bison]

Thanks...finger breaking combos🫣

[rapid hawk]

Haha lol. Stretch those fingers.

[ruby obsidian]

I find the Xbox controller is the best way to go

[rapid hawk]

I still can't work it out. Do you still have to use the keyboard?
I'm fine with the keyboard now, sometimes a little sticky in the mouse and maybe miss a key now and then.

[sacred mist]

thois game is ready to play 2 earn?

[silk heart]

No. It’s not.

It’s just testing still. It will be on the blockchain and therefore have the chance to own and sell your stuff when it launches sometime in q1 2024

How to enter the game

Illuvium Private Beta 2 Access

We've paused the distribution of beta access codes for now. Why? Because we're gearing up for the next big update! Our next beta release on November 28th is packed with significant upgrades across the board, including the much-awaited Ascendant Arena, our new PvP Mode.

In the Meantime:
Head over to the Illuvium page on the Epic Games Store and wishlist the game: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/illuvium-60064c. This ensures you're ready to dive into the next version as soon as it drops. Staying updated is key!

Spread the Word:
Got friends who are gaming enthusiasts? Tell them about Illuvium! Let's get everyone talking about the upcoming release!

[rotund bison]

Good Idea, I have to check the ps5 controller! Better they bring the game into the ps store😛

[astral hemlock]

Hi guys, how can I update my Illuvium OW game? Should I download again the entire game?

[astral hemlock]

Also, where can I recharge my energy?

[queen bobcat]

Energy gets recharged when you enter a biome

[simple siren]

There are no updates available for the current version. Wait till 28th of this month. Once the game is available in EPIC installer, then you wil be able to update the app when update/patches are released.

[simple siren]

Biome?? You mean Sanctum Mesa (the main tuning fork)

[queen bobcat]

Idk actually at what point exactly it gets reset.
Either when you go back to SM or when you enter a biome again.

[simple siren]

When you leave any region and go back to Sanctum Mesa it gets reset to 5000. The regional tower (the tuning forky thing, idk the actual name) doesn't recharge it.

[nova bough]

Obelisk! 😄

[surreal badge]

Hey guys, getting pvp arena, being listed on epic games and hunting nfts are pretty huge news from illuvium, what is comming after that? Whats next big news?

[nova bough]

"hunting NFT's" won't happen until ~Q1. the upcoming release of PvP on Epic games will be off-chain.

[small berry]

Has there been any feedback on extending the overworld timer? I miss the days I could eat a sandwich and mine for shards.

[indigo quiver]

There is no "timer" before 1000 power left, only after

[small berry]
