When will the starting price be announced ?
Most likely on the day
Just to make sure, Balancer is still on layer 1 right? So buying on the Ethereum mainnet?
What was token price for seed/private?
would be cool if there was a limit on how much you could buy in terms of total percentage left of the pool, that way it doesn't drop to a certain point and then POOF gone. then again, they could just spam transactions/wallets if they're whaley enough. 🐳 s gonna 🐋
yes I agree.
or even a per wallet limit of some kind
at least it would slow the whales and bots down
1/20k = 2/40k but really tho, the extra percents you're getting are from folks without the weight
you're getting same deal as the big baller there, but hopefully there's a lots of other sized ballers that decide to only stake for 6 months, etc, your rewards weight is greater compared to them sure
little or mini ballers might ball around with that stuff
whats the highest charge time on a tool thats not crazy expensive
Will there be instructions on how to buy on balancer and safely secure on matamask / other wallets?
Metamask*
Insanity
okay cool thank you so much!
Thank you Kieran
Oh
Correct
Kia Ora how’s everyone
Good day to All 🍉 🔥
Do we know anything about battle mechanics?
Like each monster has a basic attack a crit and an ult. But in a 1v1 battle that's not much complexity. What am I missing?
Here is your Illuvium poem for the evening.
Illuvium soothsayer,
Slipped into my brain,
Illuvials floating around,
I think I'm going insane,
I look out the window pane hoping to see Rhamphyre flames in the distant planes,
What is known, this game is going to be UberHype,
Do you......sprechen sie deutsch?
No, it's ok I'll resort back to my English, I'm not really the German type,
Archelon sits on my front porch and and has passed the torch for me to speak for the amphibian in future discourse,
An Illuvium degenerate with no remorse,
Illuvium Enlightment the ultimate source,
An Illuvium chalice for us,
Then Illuvix will run threw your veins and help you maintain,
Cheers homies, drink up.
You build a team. You have to make sure the team you build works against your opponents. Some teams will be really bad against your enemy. Some will be really good. In PVP you take turns choosing your roster so you have to adapt to what your opponent throws down.
..baten kaitos was fun
Morning all, sick demo!
Hello!
Hello
the fighting is simmulated for you correct and picking the correct lineup increasing the probabilty of winning
Yes. And placement.
cool thanks again appreciate it!
How is everyone doing
about our preILV. Do we have to do anything to make it ILV or it will be automatically swapped after the launchpad?
you will have a chance to swap it to ilv once it is live @last bolt
i think that is the plan
mostly sure lol
Good morning Guys! ☕
Morning Bugdog
☕
Morning its 3am yoooooo
Hey you
night all
Is IDO price 1 ilv about 0.8 eth ?
Yes please, make this happen
hello
11th is the last date right
😄 you are talking about release date ?
Good morning all!! 👋
gm
Nope , Squizz competition organised by Kian
Good morning 🌅
ahh okay 😄 Because I cant find release date :/
good
😢
Little room for me normie to get in
Than I will keep my 5.25 pre ILV close I guess
Good morning peeps. How's everyone? ☀️
guys ? when is release date of this game ?
Is here possible to ask them for early acces ?
The goal is to release the game in Q3
quarter 3 yeah
Doing good thanks. Nice break from screens last few days. Yourself? What's been happening??
Just work and chilling
almost weekend here already
thursday national holiday
so last day tomorrow
Hi Guys, great concept! love to see this evolving
Welcome Angelodaniel
wowzers, I'm just getting started for the week with sooo much work and you're already looking forward to a long weekend!? Niceeeee
Good morning! Yup, Tuesday morning here, work week just picking up. Need more coffee. Everyone have a good day/night!
But we start the weekend here on sunday, so today already 3th day of the workweek ^^
The video look great lets battle!
my money is on rhamphyre
Makes sense. Crazy how much difference a day makes!
Yea.. haven't seen much talk of who's gonna take it.. I want Rypper to win 🦂
haha i'm sure it's gonna be worth to watch
it will be a draw
Ryppper dies
then Rhamp will die from the poison and damage over time
hahaha
Hahaha
I'll be interested to see if more Illuvials show up in the Demo though, as a team is suppose to consist of 5 Illuvials. The battles aren't 1v1 as far as I know. So this could truly just be the smallest of teases for what we're about to see.
Which would be awesome. I'd love to Atlas, emberlynx, and Squizz show up in the full demo, see them moving with animations etc.
How about partner with Enjin. Or use their Efinity platform ?
I'm excited to see the battle demo, in action
Why would they? They're already using Immutable and going to use ETH more so than anything
Uhm. If I know ILV still be built on Eth so I recommend this
Tks mate
No chance
Hold the line
Ya
hhaha nice
Hello everyone I have a confession to make, I have been a fan of cephalopods for a long time. Might even have one as a pet one day. Long live King Squizz.
Yes!!!!!!
The old community could put together 20 unique emojis within 30 mins. Let's see if this community, 5x bigger can conjure up 50 unique's
50 unique emoji's on this post within 30 mins. You get a new Illuvial. The one you've been waiting for..
That's awesome, u giving the people what they want.
And when I say unique, I mean, 1 emoji each...
This is not going well
lol, sorry, I mean just add an emoji to the post, and only one..
👍
Oh Haha awesome
This is terrible, I could leak the next partnership launching tomorrow and no one would even be around to see...
@candid smelt u going to get in on this homie @sage falcon where u at.
Ikr
Its early probably better to do it in the middle of the day haha.
eyes wide open....
I wonder would an @ here do it
I seen where all the mainstream media is picking up on the NFt craze, I expect many people to get on the Illuvium bandwagon in the coming months
But no, not happening, organic or nothing
My dude
2 people?
yikes...
These are dark, dark days

Ur cracking me up
I summoned you for Illuvium business hehe
i literally don't want any more people, said it as a personal project that i might do if i feel like doing it
I'm talking about posting ur emoji dude
but i appreciate that you looked out for me, Thank You
oh
lol
sorry misunderstood
Jesus
Seems like the max unique emoji is only 20
lol! post the emoji!!!
Let's keep this PG boys

Are we getting a leak here or what?
I'm not big on self promotion but I try to get my homies in on that new new

Oh my
Mammute will destroy Rhamphyre
Man this mammute is a monster
Cool
That psychic tusk attack sounds so awesome 😄
the attack is insane with the tusk being extended and retracted
Ascended Thylacine takes the cake for me....I love
🦣 wins
Theyre all balanced. But do i think so? Yes. And should that mean you follow me blindly? Yes, it does.
🦣 💯 🖤
Looking forward to it @sage falcon . . . The last 36 minutes have been nothing short of amazing, thank you all
I'll post it in fan art homie
You didn't think we'd make it did you?
LOL it did blow up at like the 15 minute mark. .. It was a strong come together I must say! @inner topaz
It finally happened the mammoth is here!
Yeah pretty awesome
And he will crush the souls of all that challenge him
Talking about squizz right... 😏
maybe there will be a goody two shoes paladin illuvial to balance him out
Gonna go crazy pretty soon if I have to keep seeing all these leaks! I NEED THE GAME NOWWWWW
You are correct 🙂
It says "Class: Sentinal", I suppose its "sentinel", right?
Looks amazing!!!!
SICKKKK
Yeeeeeeeea ther is it my 🐘 yeeees hahahah and aaron say few days before NO :) you mind controller dude :D. @inner topaz i understand that you love it bit i absorb it as first !

You must be a happy man
Thanks mate 😉
😽
More cool stuff to come 😂
Great job @sudden dawn . . keep it up!
Seeing how stuff is received i have no other choice! 😄
I am really happy DUDE , that thing os an elephant my favorit animal, it is psychic ( i say all time i like play dark or psy things ) ect... This os like a peace out of my wish haha
the new character looks so cool, wow 👀
Awesome
Yeah i was aiming to make him really mystic/dark wizard-like and just badass in general 😛
Awesome! Gotta be on the lookout for his NFT then...should that happen of course

I'm in the same boat, man!
Yea, agree.. makes me wonder about a possible backstory relevant to how this world came to be..
At first i though the ultimate was sending his whole body like a holograph
to the enemy
Well, I can see a movie being made before too long, as hinted. It would be a bonus to get their backstories! pretty cool thought @barren scaffold
Gandalf x Mammoth x Cthulu
Gotta feed the sheep some hype every once in a while lmao
I vaguely remember someone hinting at the idea of allowing us (the community) to help write the backstory/biology of these Illuvials. We'll see!
hmmmmmm . . I know a good writer in here! lol
exactly! 😄
Hello
every now and then this chat gets real weird. Now is one of those times
😂
Looking forward to your return
please let the mammoth be overpowered. he's my favorite
It was really fanny like it ...
Hello ! Does anyone have any idea of the minimum requirements to run Illuvium? And also what operating system?
Hey Paulo, some details on specs can be found here: #❓❗〕community-help message in short, "targeting a medium spec PC on the lower end. Hopefully even lower than that if we can optimize a few things."
Thank you sir 🙂
👀
Hey guys whats Illuvium native token and where can i purchase it?
awesome, do we know price or where it will be sold?
Balancer
Should be available on Balancer towards the end of the month... but price has not been determined yet, as far as I know!
thank you all
Have a great day homies... #HoldtheReigns

Hello @plain delta are you free to talk? I have questions about how to join on IDO. Sorry newbie >.<
Hey, @last bolt what's your question?
Hi all, just looking to poke my head around and see what types of stuff goes on here! Seems there's a wide variety of topics! Really loving the character leak from today! The art direction for Illuvium looks so cool!
Mhamhu is sick
Honestly yeah! Fell in love as soon as I saw it!
Oh my sweet jesus, gymed, showered, ate dinner and then came back to MAMMUTE! Good lord, I'm with Kieran on this one, definitely my new insta favorite Illuvial, I can't look at him for too long because he is so bad ass and freaks me out 😂
so as I understand it, would Mhamhu be one of the creatures we could buy/sell? Or more like a boss monster. Still trying to wrap my head around this!
you capture that dude
make him fight for you
well, you capture baby mammoths
then combine them to make him
Oh got you! Sweet!
Thank you! Just wanted to know the step by step to join the upcoming IDO. I already know ICO >.<
I mean I only know ICO lol
even when you're not looking at mammute
he sees you
So basically, we'll capture dudes, combine them to make better dudes, and then use those dudes to get even doodier dudes?
basically yes 100%. battles are in the autochess style though
except instead of like in Teamfight tactics it'll be "1v1" at least at the start
(one team vs one team)
Been a while since I played Teamfight but yeah I understand the concept. I like the idea of being able to level and evolve things which seems it's on the table for Illuvium
I'm not certain if you can pre-evolve your NFT's or if evo process is only via slapping down multiple baby dudes during a battle etc i'll have to re-read
Mmm, it'll be an interesting design choice
In my head if it's just slapping down multiple babys then it seems like it'd be hard to pull yourself back if you slip behind in field advantage. But we'll see what's decided!
So to evolve an Illuvial you'd need three that are max level to combine. But in ranked PVP you won't need to have an evolved Illuvial if you don't want. Just by having one of the forms you'll get access to all three.
With your team of five though when it comes to placing them on the board, you'll have a certain amount of points you can assign, and each Illuvial will have a point value, so you can't just put up the biggest and baddest (unless you're in Leviathan Arena) because the points wouldn't allow them. If that makes sense.
you
Moz4rt?
I'll be next in line! 😄
Your avatar participate in combat also
Maybe craft some gear first
We've got the shades from harmful light... #advantages
hahaha
onboarding is the worst part of most block chain games right now
Naaa all by yourself babbbyyyy. And Moz4rt is just there to make sure you don't get nubbed to death by a baby Squizz.
like high entry point or having to own 3 of the characters but each one uses gas and this and that lol
hopefully all upcoming games are just you can pop in without spending $500 and doing 10 transactions and all that
This
yea all these next gen solutions are so much better
Well you'll have to spend a bit of money on anything to get started. Like you'd need to buy shards to go catch Illuvials etc. But it won't be like Axie or anything. But once a lot more platform move to layer 2 (which will happen soon) then this will solve a lot of issues.
some things you can just jump in and not spend even 1 penny
others its jump in and spend $50
but crypto some are like you must have this token + spend $500, thats too much for a normal player
i like to buy stuff early and spend a good amount to have limited time items, but also an option for a new player at launch to join for low cost
Think Illuvium will have both those. There will definitely be a "sweat equity" element, where you can grind to get a foothold in the game. As nothing is completely free ya know?
But I totally hear and appreciate what you're saying.
yea ill be ready for sure to buy something cool before launch if i can
Only the token will be available before launch
they are doing a fair launch to keep the race to the first illuvials fair for all
how do i get that token? now?
i like live chat, hence used discord, but thanks
i read the articles when I can, but theres 100s of projects to keep track of, i just check in to each one to see if im late or close or what haha TY
For binance ?
Balancer IDO. Token is not gonna be on binance
Hello and good day!
Hello Scuffle
nerds everywhere
Will the ILV you purchase from Balancer IDO be subject to lockup?
Anyone know when they aiming to release this game?
In Q3
Can I ask what the next milestone we're mostly looking forward too? I saw the beta won't be for a few months, and there's some sale on the 23rd?
They'll be releasing a demo here pretty soon showing an illuvial battle I assume. Thats what Im waiting for
Ooo that'll be great to watch!
What's up my fellow D&D&D'ers
just chillin'
Nice......, just figured I'd stop in and chat since I'm sucking ar everything else today.
Good evening. Mammute is looking majestic as all hell. Great work team.
Hi. I was wondering how much is the minimum estimated price an average guy like me spend on this game?
ser you do not suck
what are you trying to get out of the game? Just for fun? top of the ladder? I think it depends on your own aspirations haha
If you could only see me playing chess today you might think different, how have you been W.W?(not Walt Whitman or Walter White haha)
You don't have to respond, Ur a busy man....... I know how you have been, tired stressed motivated excited and everything in between. That probably covers ur intended response.
lol ive been very busy with work man, and everything else in between. seems like for most of my crypto projects , im in a holding pattern
Yeah I got faith in u man, I know a few other people that do too.
I can't imagine all the headaches and hiccups, you should invest in getting a massage a couple times a month
Im just kinda new to crypto and this will be the first blockchain game i will be playing because i love concept
Nice
Unfortunately i dont have a large payroll thats why im curious how much it will cost since i have zero background to this 😅
im exactly in th esame boat
U dont have to have deep pockets.
Want to hear the answers 🙂
I'm a pauper poet
All the answers to the game are to be found in the links in other channels like the welcome one, I would start there.
As far as not investing with much money, my first buy was with change that I saved up.
Ok good talk
i saw you were typing thats why i didnt said nothing, soryr
Yeah i've read the FAQs made me more excited tbh
Oh ok
was waiting for you to finish
Roger that
As far as investing I cannot give advice only to do ur due diligence and always keep ur private keys private
Research research research
I know from lurking here discord that they wll launch a sale anytime soon
Yes sometime in March I believe
but do we know if you are gng ot be able to buy a " character " ? for example?
going to*
Yeah. Exactly what i've been doing. Reading and more reading
I am, yes
I had to watch videos on youtube myself
Ohh is it like axie? I tried that yesterday but i learned i kinda need to buy 3 characters to get started
It is 3-d as well
I know what it is, and like it alot 😄
Ppl have been saying that. I cannot find that ANYWHERE
Yeah love that staredown
Can one of u guys send me the link pls?
Maybe under character leaks channel homie I'm not good with the links
Someone usually pops in and throws up a bunch of links but I'm not that dude.
dammmmmmnn 😄
they are doing a coin sale later this month on balancer, I believe they will announce a week in advance. Game isn't launching till Q3
Lmao exactly what im doing trying to google what tf is a balancer 😂
Kinda like uniswap, they just have a different model for how they manage pools
I know that. Been lurking this discord for some days. Thats actually great.
but user experience is similar
This
Lurk on bro, and when u wanna dip a toe in I think you will find the water feels nice, and you'll wanna dive right in
Roger that....I like ur handle easy to remember
Mornin to ALL
💪 🥸
If you like creative Livestreamers then check out #799010390201466880 going live now. Love you all
well the devs have placed value on "sweat equity" as a part of the system, so at the very least you'll be able to grind something.
we'll have reps on the council fighting for the sweaters and the whales, IIRC read something about them wanting both perspectives in governance
yaa if we need to grind then super ok
atleast that will give some chance for players with small bank ballance
plus ranked has equalized stats etc
so can't buy a team in quite the same way
yaa
Morning all
I'll try to explain my thought process for these things so that everyone is on the same page.
When you go into the game you will start with the ability to fight from day 0. You won't have to pay for that. You won't get a starter Illuvial like in pokemon because the issue with that is that you could just make many accounts and transfer that starter, fuse it, and have a Stage 3 version in a few minutes (if you are a bot). But there will be some that you can catch for free. They will not be strong, and on our tier system they would be effectively tier 0. In a ranked match those Illuvials are still going to be weaker than others, but also cheaper in cost to play. But the simple fact is that you will have to spend money to be able to play at the top tier of ranked.
There are two options for travel. You can travel for free, and you can travel for a fee. The second way is the only way you can do it to get the non-free Illuvials. So if you just want to explore the world and catch a few free things, you can do it for no cost. But if you want to catch the better things, you will have to pay for the travel and pay for the shard. (Free shards can only capture free Illvuials).
I'm not going to go into the lore behind this because it isn't relevant to the discussion. But the fact is that if we have people able to play for a long time and get valuable things, those things are no longer valuable. In the age of bots there is no work around to this. Instead, you pay for something, you can get something rare and valuable. You don't pay for something, you can still play but you don't get to earn.
The area where this gets grey is the fact that we have 1m tokens set aside for in game yield over 3 years. I don't care how much $ILV costs, that is an INSANELY high prize pool. Most of that will go to competitions, which will require a small investment, because you'll have to have at least one of all the Illuvial lines to be able to strategize perfectly.
Great to know all this thanks
So when you go into ranked, you'll be able to earn weekly prizes from doing well. And it could be that you don't just need to win the tournament. There will be options to do things like reward people for improving their rank, etc... We will also have weekly challenges that people can earn from. But any game that gives the majority of it's 'play to earn' element to people who don't pay anything is simply transferring money from paying players to bots. That is the fact of it. Anyone who wants to be able to grind out in Illuvium, spend no money, and then earn a large reward, will be in the wrong game.
However, if you don't have much money that's fine. Create a decent team, maybe have a few different team options. Only capture the Stage 1 versions, etc... Do what you can afford. Then get INSANELY good at the game with your slightly weaker team, and work your way up the ranked ladder. THEN you can earn rewards. I will not stop until I have created a game where someone can do it as their profession. Use your rewards to build a better team and there you go. But there is always going to be the expectation that we will give the most rewards to those that back the project.
Amazing explanation
Now I need to come up with a horse-based analogy for the Balancer Pool.
Free tinplate starter zone ish, to see how the game is, then teleport with obelisk to the play to earn
Worked perfectly last time hahaha
Every region in the game will have a free to play version.
I was already planning on having my playing fund
So it confirms my idea
Dropping 1k in illuvium will feel better than on some skins in fortnite or league
Our artists are just so good, we want everyone to be able to experience it. If you don't have money to play the game, that's totally fine. You can still see the sights. I think everyone is going to want to travel to The Panoramic at some point.
Clear
Dang, thanks Aaron! And while I may not be able to gain as much "sweat equity" as some.... I am happy to hear all of this about Illuvium. At the heart of it all, I think rewards need to be worked for and earned. I'm a pretty casual player but perhaps this game will fire me up and have me wanting to move up the ranks with my weak-ass team 😛
I remember dropping shitload of money in Rise or Kingdoms for example
cool info
And you don’t earn anything from it
Yep
like to see chat alive for a change
Also, we feel like the free to play versions of the regions are going to strongly convince people to pay the fee to travel there for reals.
@plain delta have you though about subscription based bonus?
in game economics?
im getting hyped all over again
Yes, interested in the subscription part
Like you get extra items if you buy year plan
I wish I had the deep understanding of DeFi gamers needed to know if a subscription option would be better or worse (for the project AND the players). I'm happy to hear people's suggestions on it, but I think in the end what is true is that PROBABLY any subscription model would still include purchases for shards (at least maybe you get a certain amount "free" per month, but then have to pay for more).
maybe 1 year staking based land plot let you ranch some illuvials? 🦣
if the ftp players have a way to buy subs with activities they do in-game (similiar to WoW tokens) that would be pretty dope
Yea that is what I was thinking about, or some free travels option or something. That creates some pasive income for the company
Or just shove it back into the vault ahha
not a defi gamer specifically, im just a gamer in general and would be happy to share my thoughts if you like to listen
Or bonus experience
Or discount on shards
Or plot of land in the middle of nowhere ^^
lol
I always paid for wow subscription
Yea so many subscriptions
But we can keep it subscription free also
But on the other end it would help fight bots to a certain degree
Hard to figure out
It's great to hear that👍
Every time I see Aaron typing on the keyboard, my heart stops beating 👀
Anything that we do where the only cost is time will be exploited by bots. In wow it doesn't matter too much. In a game where there is tangible value for the assets it can be a real problem. Imagine you buy an NFT for $1000 and then the value goes down because a bunch of free players got it. You'd be annoyed at the designers because it was their lack of foresight that cost you. Instead, I want to support two groups really well. I want people spending money to know that there is a high chance that what they buy will appreciate in value, and for gamers I want to build a ranked system that isn't too costly and is fun to play and challenging.
There is no company. All ETH goes to the Vault. All of the Vault goes to the token holders.
Yea well you got the idea hahah
This
I'm just saying there is never a thought process of 'what can we do to make money for the project'. It's always, "what can we do for the token holders of the project".
Botting/farming will be a pain in the ass indeed
Thank you for that
Everyone is winning with ILV
Love this! 🖤
i LOVE u ,Aaron
Some great info tonight love it
This is fantastic
that is true, good point @plain delta
ILV, hold on. diamonds on hand 😋
Ok I have to get back to finalising the bonuses for the Balancer Sale.
GL!
Yes yes yes lol
What’s the starting point 😂
Where do y’all buy ILV?
What other ways can I get involved?
Agreed really clear
I can't wait for the beta testing Phase!
I have some question with this "Travel Fee". Is it a one-time "Pay a fee and unlock this map" or do we have to pay everytime we jump from region to region?
If this is something that everyone feels then the choice is simple. We won't have subscriptions at launch. Saves me a bunch of time and makes sense.
However I still want to think about doing things like "bulk travel" or time based unlocking of a region. That might be a good middle ground.
There will definitely be a 'one time' fee. There might be a 'unlock for a certain amount of time' or 'unlock for X trips' at a discount.
The travel fee is not large though, and it's job is to eliminate bots. Think about it like when you buy pokemon cards you get say 10 cards in a pack. When you go into a region there will be a bunch of encounters to have, and most of them will have multiple illuvials to catch.
What if the barrier to 'unlocking' a new area was based on diversifying you Illuvial collection. Like for example: catch 4 different kinds of Illuvials to unlock the obelisk. This way you force an investment (through purchasing shards to catch unique illuvials) while also diversifying the illuvial collections of all those starting to play.
Just a thought
shards are bought ingame right?
Sort of. They are mined in game. Then you pay to have them finished into functional shards. You could technically sell them before finishing them.
The bot would still be paying the fee to enter the region. They would get a finite number of shards in that time. The majority of the cost of shard will come from the in game fee.
i see now
As in, when you sell it the exchange most of the fee will be the finishing fee. Only a small amount would be the rarity part. We don't determine how much that would be, it's up to the players and the market.
Obelisk unlocking is a momentus occasion and is a community wide effort. The person who unlocks the region will be famous.
As for diversifying? Each region generally has creatures of different affinities. What works in one region might not work in another region so you will sort of be forced to diversify.
already planning how im gonna no life this game
I am already planning on taking a vacation from work for it
and thanks for all the insights, Aaron
lmao don't do that you crazies.
Right on, I'm trying to imagine the teams vision here and I sometimes come in with some preconceived notions that make sense to myself. I have outsider's perspective but I like the curveballs that I don't expect
Don't threaten me with an excuse to take a vacation
Lol taking off all of Q3??
If only
I can't promise I'm going to make the right call on all the design elements. There are things that I would LOVE to do with the game that i'm constrained on, both because of DeFi issues and time and budget, etc... And then of course the main reason being that I'm just straight up going to make mistakes. But we will try to improve and correct things over time as best we can.
The better we do in the balancer bootstrap, the better the game will be. Remember all the funds from that go into the development (and marketing, but the purpose of that is always to get more people in so the token is more valuable). Remember there are 1m tokens for gameplay yield. If the token his a billionteen dollars each then that's a LOT of prizemoney.
"Multiple illuvials in encounters to catch 👀 hot dam" <--- This isn't a leak. I mentioned it in an AMA. You can TRY to capture everything in the encounter. But remember each time you attempt they have a chance to... well I don't want spoil anything so I'll just say there is a chance that they aren't there anymore.
I recall reading that there were some sort of incentives for contributing to the balancer pool based on participation and potentially contribution amount. Is there going to be/or is there already information on the amount to contribute to be eligible for such incentives?
I can try to find the exact location this was mentioned if needed, I just can't recall off the top of my head
Found it, it's in the tokenomics medium post. Incentives are promo NFTs
That's the work I'm doing today. We don't have the price points for another few days.
No worries and no rush. Appreciate all the work you guys do. Thanks as always for the answers Aaron
Left my job for this game. We will.
I will buy $ILV hopefully it will blow up in a good way
so i have more money to spend in the game
so i will get more shards and holo
Lol, actually retiring since I know my preILV will be worth millions...
and we all will be rich by playing
Waiting for the presale with eager anticipation
The other thing I have to do today is a horse based Balancer Bootstrap Pool analogy since it is clear many people still don't understand it.
I don't need to understand it. Just take my money
Lol, thats how you get rekt my guy 😬
I might as well ask you guys your thoughts on the promo NFTs. What I want to give (in high level detail) is:
- Promo NFTs (similar to the Cosplay series but a "get in on the ground floor" series. Like first editions.). There will be scaling rarity depending on volume purchased. Buy on all days unlocks a sort of 'i got them all' reward.
- Tokens redeemable for limited edition (only in the balancer sale) skins.
- Tokens redeemable for limited edition (only in the balancer sale) emotes.
- Badges.
The item would be based on the time you purchase, and the rarity / coolness would be based on the money spent.
My thoughts:
We absolutely don't want to give out Illuvials. It goes against our idea of the game starting fresh on launch. We also don't want to give advantage to people who can spend a lot.
I'm open to some additional lottery, but don't like the idea. I feel like if you want a thing, you should be able to buy your tokens and just get the thing. That way nobody fears being unlucky.
what manner of NFT are you considering?
Nice ideas. So we would need to make 7 transactions. What if the tokens run out before day 7 ?
My thoughts so far, you don't care about early supporters, you care about gaining new partnerships and players. I haven't seen any rewards aside from preILV for original supporters, I've seen all the high end NFTs go to people who don't give a crap about this project but just lucked into it. sorry, pretty negative but that's my opinion so far. I've been with GU since the beginning and I KNOW they have my back as an early supporter. waiting for ban in 3.2.1.... lol Just being honest, I am excited about this project and plan to stick with it, but I certainly don't feel any loyalty to early supporters.
What else would you think would make you feel like we care about you? As in, what are your expectations in terms of free stuff and such?
Also we should consider based on gas fees that is almost 700$ lost in gas fees
some type of on going reward for being first in so to speak, honestly at the very least a unique NFT awarded to first time supporters prior to the partnerships.
or some type of in game reward advantage
Well everyone before the IDO is early imo. You didn't contribute per say to the game yet because you didn't invest anything yet
This will definitely not happen.
that's understandable
We are still very early on in the project. I would classify someone who joined this month an early adopter because we aren't even at the IDO.
I appreciate the commitment to having everyone start on a level playing field
I would classify early adopters as anyone who joined prior to reward announcements or any mention of "rewards" but maybe I'm just bitter for not winning any drops. idk.
The very early people got ILV (preILV) and we allowed to vote in the first election. The UniRhamphy ended up going to the community and we gave 19 of them. Those were at random, I can't just give them to people I think are more active. It has to be random. But there will be more stuff as well.
I see other projects awarding NFTs for simply being in the server early on which is nice it makes me want to be a part of their project
and excited to be early
so far I honestly dont' see much benefit to being early here, but maybe that will change once the game launches
We are like 3 months into existing... I'd say that is early.
I was late, REALLY late for Axie and happy as hell I got in when I did, lol
so, I guess we'll see
I'm here every day answering people's questions, and using these conversations to help steer the game. I know that aint free stuff, but I hope it would mean something.
I appreciate it
I think this game is going to be excpetional and I'm happy to be a part of it
I am thrilled to just be here at the start and be a part of the development
If ILV goes to $100 then that means everyone in the discord early on go $500 in value. They also had a chance to win ALL of the cosplay series (and there are still a few more to go).
That's certainly a good point @plain delta, maybe consider doing an NFT for pre rewards members 🙂
I'm a collector so I LOVE having unique items 😉
lol
I only enjoy NFTs when they're retail or free 🙂 lol
nite all!
hope I didn't piss too many people off
It is very hard to set me off. Unless you are a bad driver, then I just yell mainly to vent.
Everybody can voice his or her opinion 🙂
I drive in California every day. I know the feeling! It’s taking years of discipline hahaha
Nite all
There are 12,000 people in here. You want an nft that 12,000 people have?
it there are 2.000.000 people in a year, then yes 😄
and why stop at 2m, the whole world should be playing Illuvium
Well Aaron just offered you a way to get one.
Which projects?
Buy on everyday of the balancer and you will even get a bonus
So join balancer discord? lol
Out of the 70 projects I invested in pre starting illuvium a single project gave an nft. To get that you needed to be in the top 100 token holders. Given, I haven’t been paying attention to many other projects but if you show me a project that has given away more than us in the timeframe we have been here, then too good
I’m trying to solve what channels to join. Need me some illuvium in my life ^_^
You might not be able to set aaron off but you can certainly set me off... 😂
I’m also about to announce another community nft drop... but I guess I should just give that to everyone in here
Consider yourselves lucky he is not on the sweet IPA Scotch combo lol
Yes very much like i am here. ❤️
He is sarcastic. I need to clarify
Like just relax. I’ve said many times before, more shit is coming. It’s been a week since the last drop, and I’ve literally said multiple times that there are 7 more nft drops. All you need to do is pick up on the hints aaron and I drop and you will find the next. Part of the excitement is knowing if you win it’s SUPER valuable. If we give them to everyone they will be worth fuck all...
Also don't listen to my hints. My hints about gameplay or characters you'll just never get. I'm too clever 😉 My hints about the next server to join are just all nonsense like 'go join the micro machines server with 8 people online'
You guys really do a great job. All I can do is hope and wish I’m lucky enough one day and still support this awesome team no matter what on their journey to create a masterpiece.
I knew he didn’t realise that MM was actually a hint
Hahahah
so i joined micro machines for nothing, aaaaah
lol
For the record, it is. And secondly, he is not too clever, I’ve changed my stance on Aaron’s intelligence
I want to keep this news all to my rotten self
Nope
@grave swift lmao
I wonder if old mate ruggles had won an nft would he be singing the same tune. Maybe he would sell it and give all the profits to the community
Sir.. around how much it would cost in dollars monthly playing illuvium. i need to budget my money
I just want an NFT. Any NFT. Looking forward to earning one here
Depends, what are you looking to do?
Do you know who the next partnership is with?
Honestly, I am brand new and don't
Also, how is pikachu all of sudden speaking English
Not a single clue yet
cough.. pikaa pika pikk a ppkaa
searched for every channel with Rick Ashley in it....
I’ll drop a clue sometime in the next hour and leave it for 10 seconds. Then it will be deleted
O god..
That was a meme
I know... lol
Still have ptsd from when you did this with the website leak 😑
Hahaha gotta keep it entertaining, no?
Hahaha gotta keep it something my man
Last night was so crazy. We had 5 emojis for like 20 mins, and then it was like the entire discord mobilised, I looked back 1 min later and it had 65
Timezone man hahah
Was it at about 3am?
Naaaa I've been doing deep research recently for an internship on NFTs and trust me I've looked at a TON of NFTs projects etc, and none of them have a community that comes close to this one, this is such a special place
"Naaa" for timezones I mean. We're just active and involved babbbyyyyy
Well I can guarantee there is dead time here even in general due to time zones hahah
Oh of course, and there's sort of that "in between drops and leaks lull" as well.
👀 pika hint pikaapika
the twitter competition ends in 15 hours right?
how is everyone doing?
pikaa 17 mins pass pikka hint.. pikaa
coffee and getting to work good sir, so not to bad, although it's a gross rainy day here in ireland today. 😒 Don't get rainbows without rain the Irish say. Freaking don't get tanned without son Jeremy says. 🙄
REEEELAAAXOOOO zZZZZ

I should spend more time in here 😉
Keep it spicy
Enjoy your leak ladies, gentleman and machines
that was 7 seconds 😄
Interesting
oh fine, 3 more seconds
haha
xD
have already screenshottet at second one xD
ima cheater 😄
but thets normal when u start the day with akatsuki theme melodie 😄
Now we need to decipher this
The question is @strong terrace will you share it with those that missed it?
😭
i can be silently u know 😄 what is ur wish ?
putting my machines on the decoding of the message
I can't stop you
I am sure I am a better person for having seen it, but I am clueless. Maybe I am just too tired to process it
I just find it interesting. To share and reduce your chances of getting an NFT, or to be the hero and most likely play yourself out of getting one. Decisions...
i can be both 😄 hmmm i can post it but with pixel over text 😄 then i leaked it but give no information price 😄
savage
So... uhm... now that I have seen it, what am I doing with this information?
decoding it
to what end?
To find the corresponding crypto discord
ahh, many thanks. Then I just join it?
Yep
what was the hint, i missed it goddamnit 😢
literally had discord notifs on but i missed it
😨
dis not fair
ok i make it fair here it comes ...
👀
damn cant send invite linkt to next airdrop discord 😄 then so ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

damn 😄 this preview .( not funny enymore 😄
Jeremy's quick leak views 0/2 🙄
I see @marsh river is active as well so I'm not even going to try to temp you to reveal again 😂
I had to watch it 🤷🏼♂️
😂
Everyone is a lovely community member until 7K nft's are on the line 
You know you aren't going to be able to hold out @strong terrace
I dont choose it 😄 i startet now an intern voting in the CORE clan, let us see how the diplomacy choose 😄
creep
Not to mention the people lurking in the shadows who also took a screen shot. @lofty knoll .....
I'm turning the people against you
I might watch too much batman
blessed be the lurkers 🙏
hehe u can try 😄 but rah is still member of the clan 😄 he is encoding with us other 😄 and voting is started but dont look good to leak 😄
i can say, the leak only made me more confused
then today i am the joker 😄 i love joker best film and so lovely 😄
is channelroute in here, im just gonna say, the squizz comp painting is really cool
Well, firstly your CORE community needs to be able to decode it. And judging from Rah's PM you guys are no where near it
So you might want to enlist the help of the community
Or you'll take the whole ship down with you
If it helps I saw the clue and it makes no sense
this is a real brain teaser
we could ask for help, but the person who finds it, will not spread the word
titanic is a good film too 😄
Anything leo is in = godlike
if we figure it out, is there a way we will know we figured it out?
oh you'll know
I believe 30+ people saw it. Many have screenshots. and yet here we are. Keeping secrets. Very interesting
😏
now i'm thinking of full house .....
yes i love his acting , so amazing
🤣🤣
Poor community
Have new drop?
well.., i could share, but it's deciding if one person is mad or the whole community
You should write a proposal to remove the bad actors from Discord 

not receiving any dm's too, so nobody wants to know apparently
Lol
I love riddle 😄 but is the riddle the riddle 😄 it can be anarchie hiding still before your eye 😄 also i will rob eny bank direct at the police station 😄 so fast they dont came back from the dunkin donuts
I’m going to turn some of your comments into nft’s @strong terrace
ikr
dips on all the first editions then
Hahahaha "My first decree as your councilor is to propose Illuvium's first community purge! You have 24 hours to submit proposals of good behavior and party loyalty or be banished to the regular internet and discord channels darkness. Good day!" 😂
Dude he's a community treasure.
Damn I was asleep when the hint got dropped. Gimme that hint!!!
I'd say if you want hints then everyone should start giving @strong terrace really nice compliments. And reacting to all his comments on here for the next short period 😂
The hint is helping me. So maybe if someone else figures it out you can DM me. It was a picture of fantastic four and spiderman
Good luck, sorry I don't have a screen shot, but I promise you that was what it was
isn't helping me
is what I meant to say
i going out with my dog, so i howpe she dont eat such a gecko again
It was actually Hulk with Thor and Batman with some Megatron and Optimus Prime.. don't listen to this guy
Better not be a purge, i would chop everyone if that is needed to get an NFT hahah
lol, I'm not sure if you saw the picture or not. But it was fantastic four and spiderman
Is i lost some news ?
they dropped a hint for 10 seconds about the next NFT giveaway. It was a picture that they put up and then took down
maybe the 10 seconds was a hint
Maybe but it was up for 7 seconds, was taken down. Someone said that was only 7 seconds, so they put it back up for 3 seconds. Scroll up. It's in the conversation
i know, but it was intended to be up for 10
Again I can't figure it out, maybe someone else can. good luck. I'm going to sleep
Can we beg for additional hints? lol
Okay now you’re just being cruel
That's harsh
Things are about to get nasty if someone doesn’t leak it I feel
go ahead,... leak some more then, or are you as cruel?
For the record I was trying to help, and not cause all of this trolling
Has anyone figured it out yet?
🤣
I can link it to one, but probably tunnel vision or whatever you call it
There are a few maybes, but... Kieran said we would -know-
then i'm way off. haha
You are not supposed to have the leak in your possession sir
it's all really hot. fight for eth ? Nah. fight for NFT 😆
its like in eny riddle 😄 there are some ways to solve it , but only one way is the correct one 😄 no one will configure it out until the anser is dropped:D and then you can say AHHH yes i got the right riddle path 😄
I figured out your tricks and planned accordingly
I told you, it’s the scotch not the IPA’s. And those days are over 😂
It's the wombo combo
Quite good for speed of typing
Gn8
It's quickly approaching 3 AM, I'll be stepping out shortly as well. Goodnight
Night
Only 2 submission for Squizz competition??
Not everyone is an artist in some form
Unfortunately
Good for the participants 50% chance of winning . Wow
Absolutely
Hello friends.....it's super early in the am and I'm chilling out dropping a line, you dig.
Morning guis 😋
Morning Under and Creez
O my god Kieran, you keep me chained to the screen with those teasers, and just when you showed it I wasn't here😢 (breakfast called) Now I am gonna have to unchain again and go to work. See you all later,...
Hmm what's happening here then
He showed a 10 second teaser and I wasn't around at the exact time lol,.. too bad.
👀👀
⬆️
The competition is fierce
After seeing @strong terrace master piece I abandoned all hope instantly
Changing the subject nicely I see. I think Ami said she was making something. Honestly if anyone has any artistic bones its worth a shot. Easily the most valuable NFT with the best chance of winning. No brainer.
But of course @strong terrace has already smashed it out of the park
Axie just hit 1b again
I think BonkieKong saw it and he's giving a really good teaser
@sage falcon 😳 20 min story. . .
wow
12 more hours to the deadline?
😐
okay cool thx
😉
there are many great submissions now, im happy hopefully see more such great things
no i havent published it yet, few more hours of work 😄
something came up, i gotta pause the work for now
🙁
then eventually reach it out and tell in words, so you can later finalice it
Can someone please invite me to micro machines. Can't find it 😦
wrong chatt ?
Micro Machines isn't a hint. It was just me fooling around.
lol oof
Some people have decided that me saying it isn't a hint is actually the hint. So at this point I don't even know what is happening.
I still feel like it's a hint....
What are you doing to my brain lol
I'm getting wiplash over here haha
@marsh musk You don't need to watermellon all my posts man. That was just for the Illuvium Group (accouncements, twitter, airdrops, character leaks)
It is a hint, a tiny one
Tiny Machines
hello guys what's up
And what an 8 hours I missed. Geeeeeeze. Will be catching up for early the next hour.
Rwby? 🙂
I was going to do a male version cosplay of Ruby before the pandemic hit.
Man Man, the entries are really amazing for the competition
Well done, well done, i wish i had those talents as well. And Underground Man i seriously think the team should try to have those play of words and poems in the game
or lore
would be sick
Nah Ruby has a hoodie. Crow has a dress shirt vest combo. I've done Crow before too. His sword is cool.
for the twitter comp does my twitter handle need to have the same name as my discord?
@umbral vine sorry for pinging but can you help me pls?
I dont think so
Mine isnt cause I couldnt get my twitter handle since I literally made one for this competition
That would work for normal people, my fine skills are still not found hahahah which is fine
oh okay thanks
I have other skills so its all good hihih
No you'd be fine my man
and never be sorry to ping, always here 😎 ✊
thank you 👍 , my timezones different so i'll be asleep by the time comp deadline's reached
Any UTO episode news...???
It's on the back burner momentarily, landed a great crypto internship that has been taking up a lot of time, but I've kept my eye closely on everything, and have lots of notes and outline for future content, just need an evening to put it all together. Hopefully soon!
Oooo crypto internship, super exciting man!!
One too many last night. My apologies for starting a bunch of shit. I don’t know what got into me. Besides the whiskey.
