Yes. And the CCs have been assigned teams to play

They complaining to rich

[hallow solar]

because they are unhappy with their deck?

[narrow jetty]

i can imagine there's a lot of very bad decks submitted

by people who are new

tbh it shouldnt have been a random draw, teams should have been evaluated on their merit

picked like 30 top teams out of the submissions

then did a random draw out of those

[gentle egret]

i agree

[narrow jetty]

there's probably tons of teams that meat the selection criteria as laid out, but are unplayable anyway

[hallow solar]

sure, but I think that doesn't matter. It is just about showing the pvp system not about winning.

[narrow jetty]

if you want to show the pvp system you need decent teams

[gentle egret]

someone should have checked and chose the decks

[narrow jetty]

that have actual synergies and a plan

and options to pivot and counterplay

and augments that make sense for the gameplan

[gentle egret]

i took a long time preparing the one I sent

[worthy juniper]

"Teams must meet these criteria to be eligible.

Scoring System:
Creativity: 2 Points
Strategy: 3 Points
Teams will be scored out of 5 points - More points increase the chances of selection"

[narrow jetty]

and weapons and thresholds and early/mid/lategame plans

[hallow solar]

I thought they rate the decks and therfore have some sort of selection in advance

[gentle egret]

ah ok

[red geyser]

The team is competitive

[hallow solar]

sure, but showcasing some bad decks and talk about why they are bad can help too

[red geyser]

Yeah. But imagine being the jockey riding that lame horse

[hallow solar]

and with bad I mean not perfect or optimized... tbh. I am not sure how good my deck is without any practical feedback

[humble trail]

I got Smart ass to rate it for me. He said 40/100. That was good enough for me!

i got the two digits after all

[hallow solar]

😄 Ok, I would be unhappy with that rating but at the moment nobody (not even smartass) is an expert in pvp

[severe timber]

Were the results announced

For the draft

[red geyser]

Not yet

[near pier]

soon

[covert violet]

i like the idea of a random draw, gives everybody a chance and make them feel a part of the community. it's gonna feel very exclusive if we are just gonna featured the best players

[narrow jetty]

its a tournament showcase

you dont want to show super weak teams that dont do anything

[covert violet]

then super weak teams will show you what not to build

[narrow jetty]

if you want to showcase table tennis, are you gonna show 2 people that cant hit a single serve?

or you play chess and you show people that dont know how to move the pieces?

[humble trail]

you should pick me if you ever want to win table tennis. Dude i can barely lift my mouse

[severe timber]

Ngl I thought you were gonna say "are you gonna show 2 people with no hands"

[hallow solar]

yes, they do that. It is called PogChamps 😄

[covert violet]

well there are levels for chess, if i'm a beginner i'd like to see what is strong and what is weak. i think you are just looking at your own perspective, my dude

[kindred badger]

I mean they just want a community event for fun

[severe timber]

I mean you won't really get a good idea of what's good and bad if every other match is a stomp because one of the decks was made by a clueless person

[kindred badger]

The bad part is that this is the first look at pvp when something more serious should have been

[severe timber]

it's much better to have actual decks fight eachother

[kindred badger]

Yah of course it is but thats not what this is

[covert violet]

i'm sure the weaker decks will be weeded out in the first round

[severe timber]

ofc but if it would've been fully random there could've been 80% bad decks

[kindred badger]

It's 1 step up from fully random

I dont expect to see very many good decks

[severe timber]

yh but better than nothing

[kindred badger]

I mean I didnt even submit a good deck because I dont want to give anything away

[severe timber]

same

[kindred badger]

But my deck still prolly better than most of the garbage that was submitted

[severe timber]

yeah idk I've seen a lot of decks nd they've been very interesting

[kindred badger]

As long as its marketed as some random for fun event I dont see a big problem

[severe timber]

yh

[kindred badger]

If they start doing the "this player is the best on the team and this deck is the greatest"... then yah it'd be a bit silly

[severe timber]

Do we know if the decks are given randomly or if the players can choose

Because someone bad could get a good deck that he doesn't know how to play

[kindred badger]

I would assume every part of it is random

theyll prolly show the provably random stuff on the announcement when its made

[severe timber]

ya I guess

[red geyser]

Rich mentioned that the team was complaining about what they got

[severe timber]

hahahahaha

[red geyser]

Someone probably got my birds only build

[severe timber]

I submitted my 2nd ever deck

[kindred badger]

Can't really complain when you're the ones making the event lol

[severe timber]

If someone don't wanna play hmu

[red geyser]

Individuals

[hallow solar]

are you for real? 😄 There are like 4 birds?

[kindred badger]

They dont have to play

[red geyser]

Well… I added a few others

But 3x3=9

[red geyser]

Boss says “you play”

[kindred badger]

haha maybe

[toxic lintel]

is there a table where there is the score ?

[humble trail]

@ripe geode vs Ben in the first round... Looking forward to that one!

[near pier]

No, but basically most got 4 or 5. Super simple criteria

[humble trail]

ah cmon you should have had plenty of practice! You got this!

[near pier]

Only one 3 got in....

[ripe geode]

i will do my best but Ben has a very strong team 😅

[kindred badger]

Is there proof for the random draw?

[hallow kraken]

Well this event is a big one. First time we will see how watchable a tournament style of pvp is. If it's ever going to be a big esports game it has to be watchable!

[humble trail]

if you win i'll give you something you don't have in your album yet. or something you have but stronger! 🙂

[kindred badger]

See this is the exact opposite of what this is. This is not esports or competitive at all

[near pier]

There is

recorded the spinner wheel

your boy @flint tide was there too

if you don't believe me lol

[kindred badger]

I'm shocked he is staying up to play

[crimson matrix]

look how bad kierans deck is

hahahha

[near pier]

that was the 3

only 3 that got drawn

its a sore subject

lets forget about it for now

[kindred badger]

Just luck of the draw

[humble trail]

Andrei isn't playing? i thought he was with Ben and Kieran to take on Viper back when in TFT...

[tribal gyro]

Ahh damn my team didnt get picked, GL to the teams

[crimson matrix]

Rogiers deck almost only stage 1s

[kindred badger]

Lololol

[near pier]

cutie pie team

its all the cute illuvials

[hallow solar]

Yeah, have to admit that some teams should have a rating around 2

[kindred badger]

Some should be a 0

[fossil socket]

hey

[hallow solar]

yeah, I was nice with my 2 😄

[sage falcon]

Glowy clown nose

[toxic lintel]

Good luck @flint tide haha.
Your best weapon :

It's not a community of gamers so this is what we get for this event

Rip kyle

[crimson matrix]

i think Ben will win

[sage falcon]

I didn't submit. F U

[humble trail]

he's up against Peter with a full water deck. .. it could get close 👀

[lyric pumice]

Maaaaaaan my rock hard deck wasn’t chosen for the tournament:(

[crimson matrix]

oh bracket is out too, didnt saw that, yes rip ben then

#rigged

[severe timber]

@alpine trout enjoy my 2nd ever deck

[humble trail]

it'll be tough for ben. he doesn't have a heal stopper. he does have Siphon matrix so no energy on the enemies. and the Quantum nullifier for reduced defense... if he gets a single Rhamph omega off, board is wiped.

[crimson matrix]

its over. its not like there are some water

the team is only water

[humble trail]

yeah only water, nothing tanky... If rhamphyre gets it off, let's hope Peter spread out his units 😄

[crimson matrix]

will the games be streamed one at a time or dual?

[glossy elm]

Who created Sand in the Eyes, somewhat workable

[crimson matrix]

@hot wasp

[humble trail]

I dislike that the site says 3 toxic when you have caradulo and cardulox. Shouldn't be that way imo

[glossy elm]

We're going to destroy Kieran round 2, easy money @hot wasp

[storm rain]

oh mai

[hot wasp]

I count on you, sir!

[storm rain]

i not selected

😦

[dense grove]

I can't see the teams on my phone but congrats to all of you who were chosen.👏

It's going to be fun to watch the battles. Good luck players.

[glossy elm]

🙇‍♂️ stopping work on deploying PvP to Production, full-time practicing with your team

[warm lantern]

me neither, life has no meaning now 😦

Kieran getting the 15/28 is funny though

Ben will rise from loser bracket to final and win it all

@alpine trout 👀

[severe timber]

Lets gooo

Leroy finna get 1st place with my deck

Lowkey wish I submitted my best deck now

[hallow solar]

yeah, maybe they should have said decks need to be 28/28... I mean there is no reason to have less cards...

[warm lantern]

did kieran do some bets and you rugged him?

[narrow jetty]

kierans deck isnt bad

its much better than martini and rogiers decks

[near pier]

Thats what edi told him

[normal python]

Kieran ain't going to like his team. Only 15 out of 28 😅

[near pier]

lol

[narrow jetty]

but most decks out there are sub 50/100 score

[warm lantern]

I didn´t look someone told me 15/28 only

[crimson matrix]

hahaha rogiers deck is new meta

[kindred badger]

Rogiers deck is ROUGH

[near pier]

I rug no one everything recorded so no one could complain

we know ppl too well

[narrow jetty]

not a single deck out there i would consider as tournament worthy

[near pier]

Didnt you submit one?

[red geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/bow-hunting-kieran-bow-illuvium-gif-22293415

yeah share a deck! i wanna see

and the funniest part is

i sent in the worst out of like 10 to not give too much away

[narrow jetty]

why is that cute?

[spring kayak]

It's hidden until you match up with one person in arena

[kindred badger]

Looking at peoples videos talking about augments and decks its clear they dont grasp the game very well right now

[narrow jetty]

you think we're showing the top decks lol?

[kindred badger]

so why help them?

[narrow jetty]

in arena/ladder?

[crimson matrix]

selfish council

👀

[warm lantern]

it is ok, I will tell everyone what is good anyways

[near pier]

[toxic lintel]

could you return there #🎮〕illuvium-arena, it's your spot. let it free here

the tournament stream is on twitch?

[warm lantern]

hahahahahaha

[hallow solar]

at least it is kinda fair this way since all decks have room for optimization 😄

[humble trail]

arena chat

[kindred badger]

The event is just for fun anyways

[humble trail]

20/100 deck but it's out there. Everyone may know about my avarage sized brain

[split lintel]

Should u tag the creators of those teams? @near pier

[covert violet]

will this be the first pvp stream btw?

[spring kayak]

I think so. Publicly anyways

[crimson matrix]

second

[covert violet]

cool i'm excited

[kindred badger]

technically there were some leaked streams

[covert violet]

where's the first?

[kindred badger]

but those ended fast haha

[crimson matrix]

no evidence

[hallow solar]

but i am still curious what the team thought about the decks since they have some pvp experience. I am kinda surprised that these decks are in the 4-5 league which means most of them got 3/3 in strategy?

[kindred badger]

I wouldnt put much stock into the whole rating thing

[spring kayak]

yea it seemed pretty loose. and the winners were chosen at random i think

[kindred badger]

Yup

[spring kayak]

out of the 5 rating ones

glad Kieran got the 15 card one

hes gonna throw a fit

[kindred badger]

haha

[normal python]

How many people can kukka cave fit in? Do I need to join it now? 😅

[crimson matrix]

on twitch too

[normal python]

Oh good, thanks

[crimson matrix]

do we have a caster for the matches?

[spring kayak]

For what it's worth, Rich said he would give my team 10 stars. As long as I win in Rich's heart that's all that matters

until I find out he told 10 other people the same thing

[crimson matrix]

he told me the same

[spring kayak]

FAK

[crimson matrix]

jk

[humble trail]

omg Sneakypoke can we swap Atlas illuvitars? just saw that

[spring kayak]

😄 The playful one is my favorite

[kindred badger]

Angry one best one

[humble trail]

I have a pink version! 🙏 hahaha

[spring kayak]

ah yea i think mine is blue background

[humble trail]

that's what i'm saying! Can we swap? i'll have the perfect atlas milestone xD

[spring kayak]

hmmm i kinda like the blue doe 😮 are yours alpha?

[humble trail]

it is not sadly :/

[spring kayak]

ah, mine is

[humble trail]

ah then it doesn't work anyways. It wouldn't be perfect 😄
Thanks anyways!

[near pier]

Everyone that participated got a 10 in my book

and you could only get 5

[severe timber]

Rich when will discs be sent

After tourney?

[near pier]

Likely so yes

[near pier]

It was a very loose rating system since this was put together quickly and needed to be done quickly. Also with minimum requirements and easy way to get 5 points most teams had 4-5 points making it more random and fun for people learning to participate.

[hallow solar]

I just wonder how much will kieran rage tomorrow?

[near pier]

I'm sure you could go through every submission and spend 30 minutes on each, go round to round and determine how it could or should be played.

[narrow jetty]

the decks with 8 units and 5 augments and 1 weapon+augment shouldnt be in there

[near pier]

And I'm sure some ppl could create a winning team with this minimum requirement

so why exclude them

we eliminated this subjectivity with our rating

[hallow solar]

well 13 more cards don't hurt even if you don't need them

[near pier]

Yeah totally just saying why we just chose a minimum

[hallow solar]

but well just going to enjoy this tomorrow 🙂

[near pier]

Only 2 teams made it from the random drawing with less than 28

that guy just got lucky and Kieran... maybe unlucky

we will see

CCs were randomly assigned too

so

[severe timber]

Do CCs get anything for winning

[spring kayak]

i think its perfect

give Kieran the gimped team

watch him rage

[kindred badger]

Rage = Ratings

[near pier]

There may have been an incentive for CC's to win

gotta make sure they are try harding

[severe timber]

Perfect

[narrow jetty]

hard to tryhard when you have rogiers or kyles deck

with 0 flexibility and options

only 1 composite bond available with only 1 10-cost weapon

that deck is literally a 5/100

[near pier]

Kyle is a pro... I believe in him

[narrow jetty]

pro or not, doesnt matter

if youre doing a drag race in a Lada there is no hope

even i wouldnt be able to beat an average silver player with those decks

if either rogier or kyle win a single match with those decks, they should just get rewarded first place instantly

[crimson matrix]

dont ruin the fun guys

its only a showcase tour

[dense grove]

I think this is just supposed to be a fun event not a pro event.

Take it as seriously as trivia and just have a laugh.

[near pier]

https://tenor.com/view/this-gif-4354544

[severe timber]

I think someone should make a tierlist of these decks

Free content

[narrow jetty]

i think some CC's already feel like their fun is ruined probably

cause they have to go through the motions with zero chance of winning

[near pier]

it was always a possibility... such is life

[narrow jetty]

if i was a CC i would afk forfeit with 30% of those decks lol

[worn plover]

Dim Mak Collab

[kindred badger]

All part of the gamble

You're a degen smartass you should appreciate that

[worn plover]

This guy is huge

seems like

[narrow jetty]

its like poker, getting a 1 outer on you

i hate it so much

cause some guy shoved allin with 2,5% odds and is now the chipleader

[worn plover]

Just curious how many people are actively engaged in Illuvium as a whole Does anyone know the statistics?

[narrow jetty]

like i dont care im not selected, i understand its only like 5-10% odds, but most of these teams shouldnt pass the first round of trimming

[kindred badger]

There was no trimming

[narrow jetty]

none?

[kindred badger]

It's literally just random lol

[narrow jetty]

surely there was SOME

[kindred badger]

I think there was a minimum requirement of having a weapon and 8 illuvials

[narrow jetty]

and 5 augments and a suit

[kindred badger]

Ah yah

After that it's random

[narrow jetty]

there should be way more requirements... can you make at least 2 composite bonds? can you hit at least 5 different synergies, do the augments match the team etc

if youre playing 2 cucks in your deck and you cant make enchanter like in kyles deck

[kindred badger]

You're asking too much

[narrow jetty]

you should get auto eliminated

[crimson matrix]

at least this is where people learn how not to build your deck

[near pier]

There was

[kindred badger]

I think they just wanted anyone to have a chance

[narrow jetty]

might as well not submit decks then, just put 100 names in a pool and give out some ilv

[kindred badger]

Obviously having a real rating system would be better but that'd be a different event type

[narrow jetty]

this is just as random as disk "battles"

[crimson matrix]

what kind of community event is it with only good decks

the game is not even out so there are some shitty ones

[near pier]

I can't believe you're this burnt about a fun event lol

[narrow jetty]

not good decks, good ENOUGH

[near pier]

you get to see pvp

like multiple matches

blowing my mind

[narrow jetty]

i get to see pvp being murdered by horrible decisions 😄 ?

[kindred badger]

Maybe they will stream a real match before if you ask nicely

[narrow jetty]

i take this game too seriously to rest my eyes on decks like these 😄

[dense grove]

I'm thinking maybe you should probably just boycott the event and try to forget any of this happened.😂

[near pier]

You don't have to watch

[narrow jetty]

at this point its only a week of waiting left

[near pier]

totally optional

[narrow jetty]

i already watched the deck picks, its too late, the damage has been done

[kindred badger]

Lol

[narrow jetty]

i can never unsee this

[near pier]

you can just opt out... simple

move on

[red geyser]

Your first week in ranked pvp is gonna be wild. Most people are not very good at playing games.

[narrow jetty]

ill let it rest, np, but i strongly disagree with the way its been handled/butchered

[near pier]

letting it rest wouldve been saying the first part and not the second lol but ok

[narrow jetty]

that deck has 8 illuviuals in it, forced to play a bunch of 30-40 cost units on your end board

[near pier]

feedback noted

[narrow jetty]

not a single unit in there with a composite option

[kindred badger]

Pelican is right

[hot wasp]

The entire community is not competitive enough for you, deal with it, there are ppl that only cares about capturing.

[kindred badger]

You are severely overestimating people

[narrow jetty]

i want to believe people are better, im an optimist and giving them the benefit of the doubt

but man are you guys making it hard for me

[kindred badger]

I gave up on people years ago

Maybe penguins will evolve to be dominant and rule the world

[hard nova]

are there anyway to still play this game without buying any nft?

[narrow jetty]

i mean... some of them brood for weeks on end in the freezing cold... on a rock... cause they confused their egg with a stone...

[kindred badger]

Lol

They got some work to do

[narrow jetty]

its about a 50/50 i would say

[thin elbow]

Yea totally.
Every game is f2p playable

[crimson matrix]

XBorg only mad because Martini got the shit deck

[gentle egret]

I agree

[narrow jetty]

why would we care about that?

we know kyle is the best player on the CC team

we didnt know there would be prizes involved for the CC playing

[kindred badger]

I think Rogier's deck is worse

[crimson matrix]

would have been cool to see a real pro in action

[narrow jetty]

all we knew is we had bad odds to get selected cause of random draw, thats why we sent in our worst decks that are still the top decks from what has been selected

so we have zero reason to be mad

[hard nova]

oh nice 🙂 I thought we had to buy some ! I would hate if couldn't play it when it's released on Tuesday and i simply haven't got any money to buy any atm!

[near pier]

yet you are

[narrow jetty]

im not

you havent seen me mad

[near pier]

[gentle egret]

yes, the game has a reeeealy big free to play experience.

[ripe bear]

The gaming narrative is going to come back so so hard in this bull run. ILV will be right at the top

[kindred badger]

That's why I think this shouldn't be the first look at pvp

Other than that whatever

[narrow jetty]

if you want to show the true potential of dragracing, you dont line up a bunch of 10hp cars

where i could literally outrun them on my feet

[hard nova]

Looking forward to that 😄 Wasn't it mentioned at some point that we would be able to catch animals/living creatures ?

[spring oar]

Is there going to be any way to earn$ with the upcoming game launch?

[thin elbow]

Win tournaments

[gentle egret]

we certainly will

[crimson matrix]

but doesnt matter really anyway, even you guys are might trash in comparison to you in few months in future

[hard nova]

can't wait tbh!

[languid silo]

Jfc are we complaining about Teams not getting selected to a fun show off PVP? Who gives two flying cats about what meta there is.
Enjoy watching the people who built the game have fun and wait for 28 to come.

[gentle egret]

someone should have hand picked the teams

[narrow jetty]

how are you going to have fun with rogiers deck?

[gentle egret]

or the competitors should have picked them

[spring oar]

I see. not to appealing for the average user then..

[narrow jetty]

if youre a msaochist you might 😄

[gentle egret]

O don't think kieran will let this fly like it is haha

[kindred badger]

Rate decks properly and all decks above rating X should be randomly picked

[narrow jetty]

kieran shouldnt complain, his deck is fine

[kindred badger]

Way better

[narrow jetty]

even though its very limited, its good enough

i would say his deck is top 5

[languid silo]

It's the atmosphere and the fact we can share this with the people who actually built the thing we all want to play.

[gentle egret]

it's just the private pvp beta now. there will be other ways to play and try to earn some money selling NFTs on the marketplace when the game launches.

[narrow jetty]

that would involve the people that built it being happy to play what they got

[gentle egret]

i didn't see, just saying on what i read here

[narrow jetty]

and i can guarantee you a couple of them really arent

[hallow solar]

well a 70 mastery weapon makes it kinda hard in the first rounds I guess but yeah at least some synergy

[narrow jetty]

i would get to the top 4 easily with kierans deck vs the rest of these

[thin elbow]

I don't think an average user is able to earn $ in any game except some short term ponzi Stuff.
But we will see 🙂

[severe timber]

@narrow jetty which are the top 3 decks in your opinion

[narrow jetty]

you can probably earn small amounts for a lot of time spent

[languid silo]

It's for fun..

[narrow jetty]

do you understand that when you played this game a bunch already and youre good at it, and you get a DOA deck that youre forced to play but have ZERO chance with and youre automatically lost by defaults, that it's the opposite of fun?

[thin elbow]

The slight above average user yea... The average user, not so sure

[hallow solar]

well I still get his point. Playing soccer with people who can't play at all isn't fun.

[narrow jetty]

ill take a look

[sage falcon]

But watching it is fun.

[gentle egret]

wish my deck was there

[trail lantern]

i cant join that beta i hit play now put in my metamask than illuvium just stay stuck on verifying

cant put code in

[gentle egret]

maybe these codes are not working anymore and you have to wait nov 28. don't forget to whishlist on the epic store

[narrow jetty]

man i opened all the links

there's like 7 teams with water/invoker/tsunami

[trail lantern]

i just got that code today

[narrow jetty]

all teams after the first one submitted that are playing tsunami/invoker/water should have been auto dq

[kindred badger]

Yah it is supposed to be different decks

[gentle egret]

I do think the showdown will feel like a bit of a failure because the teams weren't chosen properly

[near pier]

i thought you said this

[kindred badger]

You know better rich

[narrow jetty]

someone asked me a question, im being helpful

[languid silo]

We get to watch the team play PVP before launch, Meta teams,best team, all that comes at 28 imo.
They didn't have to do it, but they wanted to share it with the community.

[near pier]

Thank fully I think most people will appreciate the fun showdown

[hard trellis]

have you shared any of yours yet? i need help

[kindred badger]

Why would he

[hard trellis]

hahah idk - he a gud guy

[gentle egret]

i'll wake up at 5am to watch, then climb a mountain like a zombie with clients later haha

[kindred badger]

I think even the one he submitted was too good lol

[royal saffron]

getting a random deck that you have to use to play, sounds familiar. Oh right, pb1 and pb2

[hard trellis]

why do I share alpha?! wadda fook

[severe timber]

what about the rest

[spring kayak]

man, if people are unhappy about this showcase, imagine how salty people are gonna be when the game is released and they miss catching a holo ramphyre, or just miss an incentive cutoff in pvp for reward

its gonna be nuts

[kindred badger]

I think people's expectations for this event were too high

It's literally a random draw

[languid silo]

I would pay to watch that😆

[kindred badger]

Could be anything

[narrow jetty]

the top 4 decks are:
Earthairfighter (Sergiu)
Money hungry (Ben)
Sneginvokuritza (Vincent)
Boomi (Daniel M)

[severe timber]

You think Daniels deck is good?

LMAO

[narrow jetty]

its a titanor with 11 seconds of tanking once he gets 1 augment

with a bunch of invokers scaling damage

[crimson matrix]

play.illuvium.io/team-builder/bb693927-7e09-4e4a-af79-8f6b646b0c12

Can you rate my deck please

[severe timber]

You think his deck will beat mine in round 1?

Very interesting

[narrow jetty]

75/100

[narrow jetty]

which one is yours?

[severe timber]

Gyrov2

[narrow jetty]

your deck is much worse but has the benefit of having a lot of water, which could go hyper vs his earth units and win

you have a severe lack of damage on your team

[severe timber]

a lot of water?

ru looking at the right deck

[narrow jetty]

https://play.illuvium.io/team-builder/afc4d789-3c40-4976-a175-d883c30efaa9

[rich terrace]

Be a pretty unfun thing to do in a for fun tournament.

[narrow jetty]

your tsunami units count as water for the sake of hyper

[humble trail]

Nature enemy team would have a blast against you

[rich terrace]

Let's spin up a quick iip, cancel the for fun tournament cos it's not competitive enough.

[narrow jetty]

ben got the good deck and isnt complaining

[spring kayak]

This isn't meant to be a pure competitive environment that is balanced. this is the first time the public in discord will see pvp and have team members make fun of eachother for how bad/interesting their decks are made by people who haven't played in pvp yet

[narrow jetty]

easy to take your position with the draw you got lol

[severe timber]

Oh this isn't the fire version

[rich terrace]

I can promise you the first thing I did was complain

[severe timber]

I finished V37 today so I forgot which one I submitted

[gentle egret]

well, we could simply let someone choose a better selection of different style teams before it begins

[narrow jetty]

lol you have one of the top submissions

there should have been a way better culling to not end up with 6 tsunami/invoker/water teams

[worn plover]

I want it now

[crimson matrix]

i would bet on you man, you will rise from losers bracket to win the cup

[narrow jetty]

its gonna be a shitshow when the top 4 teams are all the same comps

with slight variations

[worn plover]

what is this thing

[narrow jetty]

everyone is gonna think water/tsunami is OP and play it

i better go make a full air deck right now

[gentle egret]

good idea haha

[kindred badger]

Ben is a big bird fan

[narrow jetty]

i thought ben was all about the dokas

[rich terrace]

But for reals, rich has thrown together a fun tournament in his spare time for you folks and you're incredibly obnoxious

[kindred badger]

Oh read that wrong. He mad about big bird

[sage falcon]

Can we please, please, please read the instructions included with these "teams"???? Pretty please.

[rich terrace]

Yeah for sure

[crimson matrix]

@near pier you did a good job man. Dont listen to those sweats

[reef hull]

btw shouldnt there be a leak this month with something bigger then pvp or ow3?

[narrow jetty]

its a good idea, but the execution is horrible, lets not celebrate mediocrity and learn from it moving forward

[gentle egret]

see you guys later! good luck

[rich terrace]

How can a for fun tournament be mediocre without playing it and seeing if it's fun

[spring kayak]

Id rather have the team work on the game and put this fun event together on some spare time, than make this an official event where we delay all future deliverables by 3 days

[rich terrace]

Feels like someone just salty they didn't get picked

[crimson matrix]

whole tournament already calculated

[rich terrace]

Not everything is about competitiveness. We can have fun tournament have a laugh

[narrow jetty]

because when you have certain comps super overrepresented and the comps being mega-unbalanced when compared to eachother its not a good showing when all games are super onesided wins or mirror matchups

[rich terrace]

Watch people try and make something silly work

[spring kayak]

who doesn't want to see Kieran with a 15 card team. I mean come on

[rich terrace]

Smartass - predict the entire tournament.

If you get it right

20ilv to you

[novel oak]

it a Leviathan

[rich terrace]

Get it wrong

[spring kayak]

😮

[worn plover]

is that what it looks like?

[narrow jetty]

i would need to see the matchups... if you let 2 of the same invoker boards play eachother... how can i ever call it

[kindred badger]

The perfect March madness bracket contest

[narrow jetty]

i already gave my prediction of the top 4 decks

and the bottom 2

so thats 6 out of 16 contestants i already called

but if all the tsunami/invokers face eachother round 1 and 2, then obviously half of them will lose

[elfin grotto]

did rich run away?

someone tell Rich I love him.

[novel oak]

its one of them i guess, this might be another one as well

[near pier]

[kindred badger]

Wait is big grant news that our leviathan monster is in the new Godzilla TV show?

That would be dope

[rich terrace]

Let's get the tournament arrangement in here. 20 ilv to ass if he puts up and actually can back his opinion vomit. If he's wrong he gets muted until open beta

[narrow jetty]

show me the brackets

of who plays who and im in

[rich terrace]

You'll be able to see all the opening match up brackets. Ez

[kindred badger]

Lol rip smartass

[rich terrace]

@near pier please sir

[narrow jetty]

open beta is the one in a week right?

[kindred badger]

No way you get it perfect

[narrow jetty]

im fine being muted for a week

[kindred badger]

No open beta is in q1

[narrow jetty]

ok

im game

[kindred badger]

Mutes for 5 months incoming

[severe timber]

Sm4rtass wanna wager on round 1

[crimson matrix]

dont let him spoil us the tournament

[narrow jetty]

q1?

[severe timber]

Leroy vs daniel?

[narrow jetty]

thats too long lol

a week

[kindred badger]

Open beta is q1

[toxic lintel]

Thanks god for the opportunity ben

[narrow jetty]

youll enjoy a nice week of peace and quiet

[kindred badger]

Pb3 is 1 week

[clever pagoda]

hey guys

[hallow solar]

still for 20 ilv I would be happy to take that deal 😄

[clever pagoda]

i got a question, can we earn $ILV by playing on Nov 28?

[narrow jetty]

its impossible to call the whole bracket perfectly, especially when ben is playing

[humble trail]

finally actually enjoying that vacation

[narrow jetty]

and can just throw his game

just to beat me

so nice try on the bait but no thx 😄

i will give you my predictions though

[kindred badger]

Are you good at the game?

[rich terrace]

No get it right. Excluding me

[humble trail]

what if you win the tourney? XD

[narrow jetty]

im sure you can ask someone else to throw

[rich terrace]

Pfftt

[narrow jetty]

someone that is already out or whatever

[rich terrace]

Always an excuse

[clever pagoda]

i played a lot of TFT, does that count?

[humble trail]

just do it smartass! who cares if you are muted for a week here

[toxic lintel]

[narrow jetty]

if its for a week im down

but not for 4 months

[kindred badger]

Depends how good you are at it

[humble trail]

ahhh it's the same thing 😄

[narrow jetty]

so ben, want to scale it down? 1 week ban for 5 ilv instead

[clever pagoda]

i'd say i'm at diamond 3 level in euw

[kindred badger]

OK so no

[humble trail]

you divide time by 18~, divide ILV by 4?

[narrow jetty]

yes cause winning 5 ilv isnt all that exciting

i value not being muted for a week more than 5 ilv

[clever pagoda]

good enough?

[kindred badger]

Better start practicing

[clever pagoda]

is it like if i'm average, i get 0, if i'm top %1, i get 10 ilv per week or something?

[glossy elm]

I'll get in on that action

[kindred badger]

Smartass brings too much joy to the discord to be muted

[humble trail]

you also want 20 ILV even if you get muted for 4 months?

[glossy elm]

I need to be muted, can't stop leaking

[kindred badger]

Well there is a tournament on Dec 2. Top 8 get paid and there are already 200 sign ups

[inner topaz]

I would like to buy 10 more augments please

[clever pagoda]

oh so it's not a p2e game

[kindred badger]

You've got enough ilv to do so

[humble trail]

you have a good eye for decks

[kindred badger]

For every 5 ilv Kieran donates to twitch viewers he gets to add 1 augment to his deck

[inner topaz]

I would borderline do this. Why must I have drawn the one team that has 15 not 28 😭

[kindred badger]

Haha I know you would

[humble trail]

Sometimes quality > quantity

[kindred badger]

I was contemplating saying 10 ilv

[inner topaz]

It's free to add more!

[kindred badger]

Didn't want to get greedy though

[inner topaz]

Maybe he was going for the ultimate flex. I take out the tournament with half a team 😏

I'm starting to see the way

[hallow solar]

I think we need to random 13 cards for Kieran... can't get worse, right

[humble trail]

do it dude, I heard Smartass say it was a good deck. He's usually right!

[crimson matrix]

We all agreed here to have fun and are done with complaining 😔

[inner topaz]

It is a good team comp, really good. But hard to go deep when you don't have the augments

[narrow jetty]

its actually smart to put in fewer units

gives less room for the CC's to "think for themselves"

so they are forced to play what the deckmaker intended

[severe timber]

Who are the top 3 CCs in terms of skill

[glossy elm]

I have a step by step guide from @hot wasp

[inner topaz]

You find out very quickly in this game that augments are the difference between being mediocre and good. But we shall see, I'm just being a typical Karen

[spring kayak]

shoulda chose my deck. i had like 13 augments

😄

[humble trail]

Rogier, Grant and Florian. They only do art and UI cuz the game is too easy.

[severe timber]

Im predicting top 4 for Leroy

[narrow jetty]

@rich terrace well so whats the bet?

[dense grove]

Wasn't Rogier on Twitter the other day asking for deck recommendations....🤔

[narrow jetty]

im down to bet 1 week of mute, not 4 months

[humble trail]

that's what he wants you to think

[inner topaz]

Vincent, Perry, Kyle all much better than the rest of us

[narrow jetty]

im almost done predicting the bracket

[red geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/subrote-matrix-the-matrix-believe-trans-gif-11275577176281212133

[humble trail]

where is Perry!

[inner topaz]

Oh wow, looks like he isn't playing, crazy

[hot wasp]

Can't go wrong, just be careful against heavy tanks decks

[inner topaz]

You're all about to see just how competitive this game is

[alpine trout]

And you say this after i donated you 4 wins.. sad

[rich terrace]

20 ilv get it right except me - mute to open if wrong. 5 ilv get it right except me - mute to Christmas

[alpine trout]

You made something good for me ?

[rich terrace]

Give rich a well earned Christmas bonus

[narrow jetty]

nah too long, i need to be able to speak when pvp comes out and the 2 dec tourney

[severe timber]

Yessir if u want a more detailed description I can dm

[kindred badger]

You cant give them more descriptions lol

[severe timber]

You cant?

[narrow jetty]

or is the mute just for general and i can still speak in arena?

[kindred badger]

of course not. thatd be cheating

[severe timber]

Oh

[narrow jetty]

cause im down for muting general and keeping arena

[crimson matrix]

Only mute in #💖〕positive-vibes

[alpine trout]

Dont think its allowed but if its a water comp like most people are saying here its all good

[severe timber]

..

It has water but imo it's more of an air comp

[alpine trout]

Middle of the night here, cant check it right now 😂. Will be fun

[humble trail]

are you going to bed tonight? no practice?

[severe timber]

yeah same hope you enjoy it

[severe timber]

more sleep > practise

[humble trail]

super sweet. I would have pushed my CC to man up and take an all nighter to win me those ILVs! lol

[severe timber]

Well I was initially going to propose a 50/50 split on prize for motivation till I heard CCs r getting their own prizes

[humble trail]

you can never give Leroy enough though. He's amazing. He helped me choose a new computer and it's godly

[narrow jetty]

note i have no idea how good these people are

but purely deck wise with these matchups, these are the people that should easily win

[humble trail]

water 0 tank against Rhamphyre dual Phantom?

[severe timber]

Oh did you finally see what ur supposed to do with my deck?

[narrow jetty]

also note i have no idea what the new balancing is, considering there are no patch notes

[severe timber]

Looks like a valid prediction

[narrow jetty]

your deck runs into super nice matchups

[humble trail]

Leroy is just that good

[severe timber]

Yes to both

[narrow jetty]

oh and i still need to call the winner

[glossy elm]

Broooo

[severe timber]

I wonder why

[glossy elm]

I'm going to kill Florian, you're crazy

[severe timber]

Must be luck

[narrow jetty]

sergiu wins

[severe timber]

Ngl I got ripped off the employee sold me some overpriced pc

Is sergiu the tank deck?

With 2 toxic?

[narrow jetty]

if youre much better than him then sure, but 2 people of the same elo you would lose 8/10

[humble trail]

And this man hasn't even played PvP yet. He even knows the odds!

[narrow jetty]

im down to play this full bracket myself

against your entire CC team

with these exact teams facing eachother

where i pick the predicted winner side

and run the gauntlet

ill bet you 3 ilv, every time im right it doubles

[humble trail]

nobody would want to watch that smart ass. that's not fun.

[spring kayak]

definitely not lacking in confidence....or arrogance

[narrow jetty]

aka i either win 3+6+12+24 or lose 3 as soon as i have a single loss

[covert violet]

anyone know when tournament stream start?

[humble trail]

8 hours from now~

[covert violet]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-im-so-my-gif-23990832

[narrow jetty]

only one way to find out which is which right

i would have to win 15 matchups

to come out a winner from this tourney

and only lose 1

to lose

[spring kayak]

you better be number one on the ladder when it comes out nov 28th to back it all up!

[kindred badger]

Yah you'd lose 1 eventually

[narrow jetty]

im not gonna be playing good decks on the ladder on release

the odds of winning 15 50/50 in a row are insanely low

[spring kayak]

oh well then neither am i ^_-

[narrow jetty]

even if you have 80 vs 20% its still insane

whats 0,8^15?

[covert violet]

when are you gonna play your good decks?

[narrow jetty]

who knows

when im forced to

anyway im willing to bet 3 ilv on a 15 game parley vs all these CC's, even if i give myself 80% odds against any one of them its still 0,8^15 that i win the whole thing... 50 ilv if i win seems like a very +EV play for the ilv team

@rich terrace @near pier @inner topaz where did you guys go?

[near pier]

what

i'll tell you this much

[narrow jetty]

im off to sleep, let me know if you guys are more than just talk... at least when i talk big im willing to back it up

[near pier]

your bracket is likely going to be wrong haha

[narrow jetty]

yeah thats my handicap, i dont know most of these people and how good they are

thats why it would be easier if i prove my point by taking the predicted winners' deck into my own hands and play vs the predicted loser instead myself

[near pier]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-try-jan-pretty-sassy-nice-try-gif-15937545

[narrow jetty]

but nvm, you guys wont take me up on this offer anyway... it's always the same story when people try to act cool and actually get challenged

[teal marten]

gm

[left briar]

what was the criterea for picking the teams, random draw?

[gentle egret]

Morning illuvium ❤️
The smack talk happening already.
Bring it on!!!

[vale escarp]

how do i get a code for the EA?

[red geyser]

⤵️

[narrow vigil]

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!

[silk heath]

Not long to go! 🙂 1 week till launch day!!! 😄

[young bone]

Yassssssss

[covert violet]

is Frobei still around, wonder why he stopped doing videos?

[sterile wing]

Hi guys I've been MIA since the first Beta for health reasons... Super excited to play the next one!

[buoyant raft]

Date game release ?

[sterile wing]

28th

[buoyant raft]

One week ?

28 nov ?

where I can buy monster ?

Don’t find Illuvium Official at Opensea

[near pier]

You cant buy Illuvials yet

Everyone will catch them on Open Beta Start

[buoyant raft]

Open beta is 28 November ?

[covert violet]

next year

[buoyant raft]

28/11/23 ?

[sterile wing]

Is the idea we catch them in game then trade begins?

[near pier]

Planned for q1 24' is open beta

[near pier]

Yes anything caught once open beta hits

you can trade pretty much everything

[covert violet]

28th is the release of PvP in epic games store

[buoyant raft]

and official game ?

🙂

[covert violet]

yeah it's an official "arena" game where you battle with Illuvials.

[buoyant raft]

Okay

[covert violet]

but there are 2 more games, Overworld and Illuvium Zero

[vocal yoke]

7h for the event! Excited af 🤪

[silk heath]

you got a team built already and illuvium saved on your wishlist on epic store? 😛 ready to go?

[red geyser]

The game will launch on chain sometime in q1 2024. Everything before that will be playing just for testing.

[spring kayak]

And Pride 🙂

[silk heath]

to try and help clear things up a full version with catching buying and selling illuvials (aka Open Beta) is forcast for q1 of 2024 atm. private beta 3 aka the pvp release on 28th November 2023 is what these guys are talking about 🙂 there will also likely be another patch, PB4 between those 2 dates. this is the first time (on 28th November) that we get to use illuvials in PvP and lots of people are getting free access to the beta for the first time 🙂 so we are all a bit excited for that date 😛

[plain zealot]

what will be the "play to earn" aspect to arena/pvp? Only head to head wager like stuff, or more than that?

[red geyser]

Some sort of leaderboard will be in effect. At some point. ⤵️

[narrow vigil]

Game Economy

Illuvium offers various ways to participate in the play-to-earn (P2E) economy, including the option to:

• Sell crafted items
• Earn a portion of the 1 Million ILV reserved for in-game rewards

Please note that while the game itself is free to play, a monetary commitment is required to fully participate in the earning aspect of the economy

[silk heath]

its also worth noting there likely wont be an openseas official page for illuvium as there is illuvium.io - which has our own marketplace (illuvidex) thats highly used already for land sales and illuvitars (side note illuvitars are just PFP not usable illuvials!)

[plain zealot]

so there wont be a direct way to earn in arena without grinding for a whole season or so? To make top of the leaderboard

[kindred badger]

There will be a lot of tournaments

There already is one planned for December 2nd

[young bone]

100 percent ❤️🌟✨

[plain zealot]

yeah but thats an hours long commitment. I expected/hoped there to be some form of "I want to hop on with my deck and do a battle and have a chance to earn"

[kindred badger]

Don't know why you would expect that

[silk heath]

thats a tried and failed model, thats something you can find on axie and gala games but not here!

[pallid zealot]

I’m already assuming that 98% us building our decks ahead of time will have to scrap them entirely once the current meta begins to reveal

[kindred badger]

For most people that would be a safe bet

[plain zealot]

so tourneys will be the only way to play to earn for arena in the foreseeable future? Was there ever any talk of having other/additional options and they just never picked up steam?

[kindred badger]

Ya as of right now its just tournaments

I'm hoping in the future for leaderboard rewards for top players

[wild flax]

hey fam where will we be streaming tonights tournaments on? hopefully youtube or twitch? for maximum resolution and people can see the full potentail and how amazing arena is, right?

i remember last time discord stream had resolution problems XD

[tight notch]

Hi fam, is there a schedule for release dates somewhere someone can post for me?

[red geyser]

There’s also a testing build for anyone to play on the Epic Games store on November 28

[vague rain]

🙂

[junior blaze]

hey man! 😄

[red geyser]

I just saw that it will be on twitch

[wild flax]

imo i think testing arena build might absolutely explode in popularity

like when tft came out at first, riot games had zero plans for it lol and it exploded organically, illuvium arena if its a really great game may just explode before the full game release, then play to own coming q1 2024 is just icing on top and a catalyst for world cominance

[wild flax]

tx

[old folio]

So is PB3 going to be consistently updated up to OB launch since we have the epic games launcher?

[kindred badger]

I would certainly hope so

[silk heath]

Something I'd love to see is guild or clan features! I think thats the only bit thats missing from the fundamentals (kind of like clash of clans style, you got a guild ranking of trophies, a guild total leaderboard and maybe eventually a guild wars). And maybe regular tournaments like rocket leagues structure. Eg at 7pm every day there a non serious but competitive 2s tournament 🙂 something along those lines, i would expect some of these things are planned already and just need time but maybe this is useful for someone to hear? I dont know xD

[inner topaz]

What are you even talking about. You literally made this challenge up yourself and now you're talking about how no one is willing to back it up?

[storm rain]

dammç

FACTOUSSS

[inner topaz]

I'm thinking about starting a guild

[inland turret]

Gm

[kindred badger]

I think you already did

[inner topaz]

lol

I guess it won't be allowed though

Kinda makes sense to block it. But god I would love to recruit all the best players

[covert violet]

how many Illuvium guilds are out there?

[tardy horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/duel-challenge-glove-slap-robin-hood-gif-11190804

[pearl crest]

Staking on layer 2 finally no more gas fees

[red geyser]

Yeah. That will be nice

[silk heath]

i heard! I think i caught an old chat of yours before! I have no doubt you will find many applicants too! 😛 but if there are embedded features in the game for guilds I really think that will improve the in game experience just that little bit as all is in one place!

[grim girder]

Hi, did you solve the black font display problem on Chrome?
It troubled me for a very long time....

[worn plover]

Emotes 😄

[lusty mantle]

And have somebody to play your lands

[timber torrent]

Im clearly doing something wrong with my deck building cuz my first try deck has 28 cards in it 3 suits 3 weapons 15 iluvials and 7 augments

[near pier]

Once you see how good the in game emotes look… man I’m glad I have some of these

[worn plover]

man.. I wish I got some of these

you have one of each?

[lusty mantle]

OG emotes

[near pier]

Naw I wish

But damn they look so crisp

Animations, sounds, like 4k looking

[worn plover]

So when Epic game launch happens we will onboard to the moon?

[near pier]

@wicked wyvern absolutely killed it making them animated

[lusty mantle]

Straight to Mars

[worn plover]

There are 2 that I like

you think straight to Pluto?

just within this Universe?

man.. this is sad

I am looking at another galaxy

[lusty mantle]

We gonna discover new planets

[worn plover]

why you change your name?

LOL

[lusty mantle]

Illuvium price so high they found evidence of aliens

[worn plover]

oh ma.. Illuvium to 10,000

ILV to 10,000

[worn plover]

great.. that's a good number

[undone obsidian]

[wild flax]

wait till people realise the trailers are all ingame footage

unlike other games which have cinematic composition haha

[lusty citrus]

[worn plover]

ILV yeah time to buy 1,000 more ILV

if I get enough money

[wild flax]

i remember when tft was released first time, there were zero plans for it, it was super early, and any idea of tournaments or anything was to come much later

then tft got picked up really really quickly, and people were hungry for tournaments, and all the passion drove the entire community to start doing tournaments and events and everything happened in warp speed and it grew so fast

illuvium arena is a unique original one of, never done before auto chess style game, and a top competitor to be one of the best auto chess games as well, so who knows what kind of magic and player activity snowball can happen

[kindred badger]

You really gotta stop posting the same message over and over. We get it

[lusty mantle]

What did he say

[kindred badger]

Did you block him?

[lusty mantle]

It's over the max amount of words in 1 post that I am willing to read

[kindred badger]

That's why I always type in short messages back to back

That way you have to read it all

[lusty mantle]

You know me so well

[plain karma]

My team looks good, but pretty sure i'm gonna lose the first round lol

[glossy elm]

[plain karma]

Leroy

His deck looks pretty cool and has some good counters to mine

Quite a few decks I can probably beat, just not sure about that one

[glossy elm]

ouch yeah he's played quite abit too

@hot wasp for Step 4, fyi the mastery was changed and I can't get Umbre down until Round 5

[karmic dust]

[glossy elm]

No code required once Beta 3 launches

28th of November :

[narrow vigil]

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!

The only man who cared enough

[lusty mantle]

lol did the bot get you again?

[kindred badger]

Nope random mod did

[sage falcon]

[lusty mantle]

[sage falcon]

Oh I don't know if it was bot

[lusty mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-justice-league-batman-mood-brood-gif-14855600461153137116

[sage falcon]

Can you tell?

[lusty mantle]

What did you do

[sage falcon]

I made a self deprecating joke but the bot picked up on the F and the U

[kindred badger]

I reported it to every admin, mod , and CC

[sage falcon]

Yeah

It was nuclear bullying

[lusty mantle]

Wow that should be a 7 day ban at least

[sage falcon]

Shhhhhh

[lusty mantle]

It's ok, Synix will get you when he wakes up. Shame on you

[spring kayak]

is the event gonna stream on twitch? How will that even work? Is there a spectator mode????

[sage falcon]

If anyone was being attacked in that scenario, it's every single person who submitted a team for the event

[lusty mantle]

All you gotta know is you open twitch and you watch and enjoy the show

[sage falcon]

No. Cos the good thing about Synix is, he can read and has a brain

[spring kayak]

i gotta know. how you got butter on your hands

[lusty mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/butter-mmm-butter-eatitpal-eva-ibl-gif-26381684

[sage falcon]

Sold Bitcoin too early

[spring kayak]

rip

[lusty mantle]

I never sold any BTC in my life

[spring kayak]

hes all in on doge instead

[sage falcon]

Diamond hands

[lusty mantle]

Never owned doge 🥺

[sage falcon]

Holding doge and ILV all the way down

Now my sister is jealous

She doesn't realise what it was like to be down 95% for 2 years

[lusty mantle]

It's ok, I'll give her a call and explain her

[sage falcon]

Please do.

[lusty mantle]

Might as well invite her for a coffee

[sage falcon]

That gif is just annoying

[lusty mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/butter-mmm-butter-eatitpal-eva-ibl-gif-26381684

This one?

[kindred badger]

I love butter but thats gross

[lusty mantle]

Please stay respectful to all the butter

[spring kayak]

butter on eggs

withh toast

yummy

[lusty mantle]

🤤

[severe pumice]

Yooooo

CC PVP battle in less than a couple of hours..

LFG!

[severe pumice]

lies. you massage people with butter 😛

[lusty mantle]

You pay people to get butter massages ...

[covert violet]

is butter massage a real thing?

guess it wouldn't be too different from oil massage

[severe pumice]

if there was a masseuse out there that offered it..

maybe

[covert violet]

once the butter melt it's pretty much like oil

[lusty mantle]

Synix about to wake up, I'm out of this convo

[severe pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/love-you-laughing-coldmorning-dune-gif-18402908

[kindred badger]

That is correct...

[sonic jasper]

is the epic games launch on the 28th the public beta for illuvium arena?

[final topaz]

So with the illuvium game coming to epic games, I will be able to purchase nfts and use them in game or how will that work.? Been in this discord for a while but haven’t been following really.

[lusty mantle]

No, it's the private public beta

[lusty mantle]

No, still off chain

no NFTs yet

[sonic jasper]

so it's a private beta 3?

[lusty mantle]

Private beta but everybody can play

[covert violet]

the pvp will be pretty much an ordinary game until they have nfts involved

[lusty mantle]

ORDINARY ???

[covert violet]

like a web2 game i mean

[lusty mantle]

[kindred badger]

Go to the staking dasboard found in #🔗〕helpful-links and press change wallet

My reply stays the same

Then click on that and click on dashboard ...

Yup, then you can't transfer

You could try to claim them and transfer them manually but if they have a sweep bot on the wallet, you'll probably lose them once you claim
