Oh my heart. How can this guy look even cuter. I didn't think it was possible. 😍

[cinder stirrup]

cruelty incoming. hunting this guys in ow... especially with the ideas we had on our weekly meeting...

[blazing lily]

Haha oh dear, I'll be telling it how much I love it while doing awful things. At least I can make amends after I've caught it. 😅

[blazing lily]

Also that is very intriguing....

[rotund rune]

Was it about skinning the illuvial?

The ideas in the weekly Meeting...

[blazing lily]

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Can we opt in and opt out?

[hazy brook]

I wouldn't mind some cruelty. After all, the Rangers crash landed and are fighting now for survival. And survival under harsh conditions can be cruel.

Makes sense 😂

[grim crow]

Okay Dmitriy u got me, im hyped again, stopppp man
I wanna play the game.

[karmic breach]

Pokemons live all alone inside their pokeballs once captured... I would say that the public is quite used to cruelty

[jade geyser]

So good

[untold saddle]

This is astonishing, looks super clean!

So sad to only see him on the market place 🥲

[cunning parrot]

We don’t kill them right?

[cinder stirrup]

Aaron will kill you then

[midnight forge]

That’s a fun easter egg. Aaron comes in as the overworld destabilizes and chases your ranger to the death

[hazy brook]

Will they be Holo too when roaming around?

[cinder stirrup]

oh yeah! how exciting that would be

[coarse prism]

I’ve heard many times that the team is “cooking” could that actually mean they have hunted and killed illuvials in the OW and are cooking them for skins and armor/weapons?

I have no problem hunting and killing things that aren't alive to begin with.😂

Although, it would be fun if we could have a choice to either befriend them or force them. Befriending could give you different things than forcing them. Like if taken by force they fight, by befriending they take you to the best rocks or something.🤔

[midnight forge]

Reminds me of bioshock and the little sisters between saving them and extracting and ending them

I want to hunt illuvials as a big daddy now

[honest gazelle]

The first one blew me away, hadn't heard of it, just got told to buy it by my cousin a few days after it came out.... Absolutely brilliant game

[urban axle]

A look at the new Overworld gameplay mechanics. Maybe they will show the Illuvials roaming in the Overworld as well.

[random pier]

HYPE!!!

[analog glen]

Awesome

[lilac pike]

Is this the cinematic or another small hype video before the main trailer?

[spiral arrow]

I think they said the cinematic is coming closer to OB.

[drowsy wolf]

Only a video that shows the new hunting mechanics in the overworld I guess. Maybe see the Illuvials in the overworld 🤷‍♂️

[barren kernel]

Its gameplay

Real gameplay

[drowsy wolf]

Do we see something for pb4 like that?

Hunting Gameplay!

[brave atlas]

Well illuvials hunting look nice

[mossy flume]

Looking amazing guys! Can hardly wait to play and see Illuvials in OW.

[night ledge]

Bullish

[granite musk]

This is one of about 4 new mechanics planned for the Overworld. All but one should be available before launch. It's shaping up quite niceley .And post Open Beta there will still be a ton of improvemetns in the pipeline.

[polar wadi]

now with the hunting, we will need a buddy system in addition - so we can have an illuvial be with us walking around and helping hunting (freezing, rooting, stunning and so on). would love to have a buddy around me in addition of M0zart 🙂 riding on him, flying on him for limited time, helping with extractions, farming and so on

[potent rune]

You will have a very powerful drone 🙂

[spiral arrow]

There’s a game like that already.

Think it’s called Buddy world, or something like that.

[night ledge]

Do we know what the other 2 that may be ready for launch are or are these still under wraps?

[granite musk]

Rebrand Illuvium to... Chum Planet?

[granite musk]

I can't keep track of what is leaked. If you're talking about the mechanics, just let us get something out to you. We want to do videos like this more frequently.

[polar wadi]

I love the idea

short and good videos about new functionalities

[spiral arrow]

The game could be ‘Friend Zone’, then Illuvium Zero could be ‘Zero Fr…’ ok I need to think about this some more. 😏

[urban axle]

I have some free time if you ever need help testing out the new Overworld😉

not to take credit from anyone else, a lot of people involved in it

Freakin yes. Seeing the drone help out with the capture was masterful. Can't wait to figure out what upgrades/options I have. I want to shoot once and then have my drone nuke the illuvial into submission.

I want this to be my drone after all my upgrades...

[barren kernel]

Basically what it looked like, video just didnt show it real well, I think in a diff version it was more prominent

[ancient lantern]

I have a feeling I'm going to have an unhealthy relationship to my drone. Screw capturing illuvials, I'm going to just upgrade the shit out of it

[granite musk]

That was the plan from the start. Emotionally, the Companion Drone is the heart of the game. There's a bunch of lore I can't get into, and no piece is any more important than any other, but from a gameplay perspective we really want you to see the drone as your buddy,

#💥〕leaks-discussion message
This one 👀

[neat ice]

@granite musk would Holos be visually shown in the Overworld? Also do Iluvials spawn/despawn based on radius to the player? I have so many questions

Will Illuvials fly if they have wings?

Ugh

[cinder stirrup]

holo and dark holo yes

[tender canopy]

Will they fight back? All I can picture is Ophisto charging up his lightning strike ready to bomb me with it

[cinder stirrup]

we will make them to stand out so you notice them more

[neat ice]

PalWorld and Pokemon both give an audio cue, that is probably enough 🙂

[cinder stirrup]

some disable the audio

[rotund rune]

Ultra instinct aura incoming?

[cinder stirrup]

as for the fly, there is still a lot of test to be done

[neat ice]

Sounds good, I am soooo excited

[cinder stirrup]

but tiktaalik man... that guy

[barren kernel]

Rollie Polly

He just curls and rolls away

[cinder stirrup]

don't hurt him

[random pier]

gonna imagine you have to shoot him a bunch to get the chance to capture it

[night ledge]

lol when the illuvials disappear into the portal, gives me solo levelling vibes with the gates

[random sky]

Some people disable music, but rarely people completely disable sound effects when playing.

[random sky]

Yes this is exactly what we're aiming for 🙂 Even if you don't see them you're going to hear them idling in the world from afar. Illuvial's voices is the thing where we put the most effort, in the end the player will be able to recognize all the 150 creatures just by hearing them

[neat ice]

Some people underestimate things like Illuvial voices but they make a big difference

[neat ice]

If they know holos make an audio cue, they will re enable it, but a shine like they did in PalWorld would be good too

[random sky]

Yes. They will play a huge part in the emotional bond between them and the player

[neat ice]

I still attribute that to Pokemons success

They didn't have voices in the game but the game launched alongside the anime

Giving them personalities in the anime was the single reason Pokemon took off the way it did imo

[random sky]

I've always thought Voices (whether if it's human voices or creatures) is the most powerful tool we have among the whole Audio spectrum! It drives too much emotion

[random pier]

OMG this sounds amazing, Hear them idling in the world from afar! you just talking holos and dark holos right?

[random sky]

For Holos and Dark holos in OW we're still a bit unsure what we'll do Audio-wise

Maybe it's only going to be a visual cue for them (we need to do some tests)

But no, we'll be able to hear all the Illuvials! non-holo, holographics, dark holos ..

[rotund rune]

Maybe just a slight shift to the brighter side for holos and a slight shift to the darker side for dark holos

[urban aspen]

I agree with this fully even when it comes to producing music!

[midnight forge]

The screeches in the originals were my favorite tbh

[random sky]

I guess you're talking a bit of post-processing ; Like EQing or adding effects on top of it.
It's a cool idea but it should be done in real time (otherwise it means duplicating all of the audio assets). Technically we could do both options, we just need to sit, try stuff and see what works best 🙂

[rotund rune]

Yea exactly 🙂

[drowsy hamlet]

guys can leak illuvials in crimson?

how are they going to run on the cliffs

because from the leak they run pretty fast and pretty far

[drowsy hamlet]

and how are they going to run in the marsh, isnt it water all around?

[rotund rune]

You better push in council for a fast release of the build, so we can See it ourselves 🙃

[midnight forge]

Slow motion with sludge and water effects on the surface of the mesh

Iirc we already have bind animations that would kinda work

[random pier]

@granite musk can Illuvials swim ?🏊‍♂️

[granite musk]

No. At least not right now.

[random pier]

how will Illuvials run away from you in Abysal Basin with water all around?

will they just find the shallow parts?

or will they only spawn in areas where the can run around a bit more

[drowsy hamlet]

crimson waste is narrow alley and cliff edges

[barren kernel]

Andrei kind of touched on it, saying that many things are possible but they are exploring options for where they can/can’t go

[cinder stirrup]

they will go pretty much everywhere, question is how

[barren kernel]

Will the drop bear be like in Australia? You literally never see it?

[flat rose]

Never see it coming

[coarse prism]

I’d love some whack a mole in Brightland with Malura

[urban aspen]

Yea heaps of drop bears in Aus

[drowsy hamlet]

inter-spatial portals.
when they cant detect ground, they will enter a portal and land somewhere else

[midnight forge]

Nah, I want to watch them drown because of our actions

Jag will live with the guilt of titanor being forced to brave the depths or be put into his sweatshop with unsatisfactory labor standards

[drowsy hamlet]

i have no feelings

[coarse prism]

Which illuvial would you hunt and cook? I think Sear would be spicy

[flat rose]

https://tenor.com/view/gorilla-run-gif-21526420

[sterile ether]

Imagine just shooting Tictalic while he stands there🥲 will probably need to buy that line on the dex

[drowsy hamlet]

u need to grenade tictalic

[ember steeple]

nice video, looks good! I guess the translucent illuvial running away is to mask the incomplete running animations, but I hope this will be fixed longer term

the video also demonstrates crouching as a new mechanic

with kukkaraph running away I couldn't see a portal that it was running to, that was a bit odd

[urban axle]

I think what happened is that it was a lower tier Illuvial so it takes longer before the rift appears making it easier to catch. It probably was taken down before the rift even appeared?

[ember steeple]

good point, that could be it

[bleak holly]

Indeed its gonna be heaps of work to get all animations in for all of them. Responses to shooting etc... that is the challenge with the high quality path they have taken... everyhing is exponentially more work

Only this was months of work....

Has potential, just at a huge cost

[ember steeple]

the dancing Pho at the end was one of my highlights, kind of reminds me of pokemon snap

[sterile ether]

“Illuvium Lawyers has entered the chat”

[open dagger]

Actually a bit disapointing to me, that you're expected to still go into an autobattler by the looks of it. I'd love if illuvials fought back instead of trying to run away.

[granite musk]

The translucence won’t be “fixed”. It’s a feature not a bug.

[granite musk]

It was fleeing into a rift. It’s there, just faint. It gets stronger the closer the illuvial goes.

[urban axle]

Ahh, I understand now. Thanks for clearing it up. I actually really like the translucent animation. Glad it’s a feature and won’t be changing👍

[open dagger]

It would be way cooler if they did skillshots with red zones you have to dodge. And you use the maneuverability to fight.

We already have gear. Already have attack animations and omegas. Already have ranger HP.

[cinder stirrup]

a lot of things would be way cooler, but sometimes just need to pause and appreciate the moment just for a sec

[urban axle]

The fighting back features will probably be added in the future. We can’t expect all those animations for each Illuvial if we want beta out by Q2.

[open dagger]

I understand. It's definitelly a step in the right direction.

It shows how much work it took.

[granite musk]

There’s more to come. We’re still building, and just to be super clear, we will still build after launch.

The people who play in a year will have way more features. The people who play in a few months will have way more Rhamphyres.

[open dagger]

Sign me up. I'm catching all of them regardless of gameplay. I was just providing feedback.

[sterile ether]

When we are on chain I will be playing way more OW

[open dagger]

OW and leviathan for me. No way I'm playing a game mode in which everyone can have the same deck.

[sterile ether]

I love playing Arena and doing my online stuff at the same time.
But getting these top tier decks will take a long ass time or cost a lot of money

[urban axle]

That’s true but happens with all collectible games. Magic, Pokemon, Hearthstone, etc. Completing a competitive deck is part of the thrill.

[willow pivot]

It all depends on what illuvials you have at the time. If you have super rare T5 S3 illuvials that complete a top meta deck it makes sense to grind arena. You'll have a deck that 95% can't copy

[open dagger]

Yeah. It'll 100% help. I hate the full solved meta we have right now. I thrive in limited environments. I really, really hope we take at least a quarter between regions we unlock and we just unlock 20-30% of illuvials per region, as it's supposed to be due to affinities.

[urban axle]

It’s going to also be pretty cool to play when all Illuvials have their own stats.

[willow pivot]

My plan is to play overworld a few hours each week night. Then get my 15 PvP games in over the weekend.

My hope is that we eventually get weekend rewards in PvP too. Double exp or something similar. Just some to encourage everyone to PvP at the same time would help to solve que issues

[worn sparrow]

When shooting into an illuvial, Caradulo in this case, will it be possible to have a visual indicator in addition to the sound one?

Rangers will need to know how close they are to opening the Wake before they reach the Ergon Right.

[barren kernel]

There will be chase music, I’m not positive but I think the music will reflect this. @random sky will the chase music like change as they get closer?

[worn sparrow]

How many hit is needed ?

I noticed a new type of fireing 3 littles burst.

[barren kernel]

They removed the visual “HP” bars for this video because it wasn’t a polished one made by ui/ux yet it was just a place holder but there will be one

[urban axle]

The amount of hits needed should be different for each Illuvial of course. Probably tied to their rarity and tier.

[worn sparrow]

Yep, different Tiers, Stages and maybe Holo and Dark holo ?

[sturdy ridge]

and maybe when you upgrade your weapons and drone they do more damage so you can trigger the encounter quicker. I think im just going to be mining for a while!

[mystic gust]

The Hunting looks very difficult.

It should not be as difficult.

And please change the Gun bullets. It looks bad currently

[spiral shadow]

I disagree. If a game is too easy I lose interest in 5 minutes.

[cunning parrot]

There should be illuvials which are more easy to catch than others

[barren kernel]

The difficulty is not what you will experience, this was prototype footage and it will be changed

[mystic gust]

Great

[mystic gust]

Ya bud but nooba will prefer easier hunting

Imagine you spend money and can't hunt and catch . How'd you feel.

I agree some skill should be required but that should not discourage newbs..

[barren kernel]

Also if you miss the catch it will respawn elsewhere, so you don't "lose" it perse

[mystic gust]

That would be great . Respawning adds value.

People missing a illuvial will be pissed otherwise.

[cunning parrot]

please dont make the game too easy

if i miss a holo it should be gone

no fun if it dont matter and the holo spawn again

[barren kernel]

That I'm not sure about, maybe it doesnt guarantee a respawn of a holo

this stuff is still not solid

[thin peak]

I don’t think they should respawn at all, imo

[oblique mist]

Agreed that they shouldn’t respawn. Or respawn, but even more difficult to catch.

[night ledge]

IMO, the difficulty of the hunt should scale with the rarity of the Illuvial, with most encounters being easy-intermediate difficulty to ensure the average casual gamer isn’t put off. While also balancing the grind, hype and difficulty when hunting something very rare.

Probably a pretty obvious statement ^, but just adding to the convo being discussed.

But like the team said, these are just some early prototypes and shouldn’t be seen as final value. Huge milestone from what was all built from scratch, can’t wait to see the OW liven up

[slow ether]

yep respawn but with their big Brother to kick our asses

[rotund rune]

Respawn but more difficult to catch after you were not able to catch it is kind of pointless, cause you for sure won't be able to catch it if it gets even more difficult.

Paying for a run and not respawning at all after you missed it lowers the playerbase tremendously. Who is going to pay for a run to catch illuvials if you are too less skilled to catch a holo/darkholo/high Tier/high stage. Certainly not;

• children
• elderly people
• middle aged people
• casuals

You most likely going to have only those 14-25 year old fps gamer who going to have a good average loot and the skill to get the rare shit.

[cunning parrot]

there can be a baby mode too for these people

but it should be a game after all and "catching" with no effort is nothing

[ember steeple]

I wonder how the grappling hook will interact with catching illuvials; can we pull them back?

[cunning parrot]

im not saying you gotta be counter strike champion to catch a dark holo

but it shouldnt be a dumb oh you didnt catch here you can try again and again you got this

[rotund rune]

Not saying it should be no Effort.

[rotund rune]

Would you say the Same if they Set the skill Level so you also have to use the Baby Mode?
Or is it more of a "i should be fine but everybody lower than me should have a Hard time" kinda thing?

[cunning parrot]

What is probably a success for a small child at catching an illuvial is probably not for the average player. So I see a problem here which a solution would be to make a mode where its more easy to catch an illuvial maybe without shooting

not success more like a challenging gaming experience

i think its important

to remember how you caught it. you wont remember if its just one click and boom you got it

[midnight forge]

This is still just an inbetween hold me over til hunting is fully developed so the skill comes from the autobattler while this is more just an added experience imo.

[rotund rune]

Nobody is talking about 1 click and Boom you got it 😄
I'm also not talking about a 3 year old should be able to catch it.
But you can make it needing effort without ripping Off your customers. Take time as a metric, if it's Hard to catch but it respawns if you missed it, you can try again... And again ... And again... until you got maybe a lucky spot, or you managed somehow else to shoot it, and then the encounter starts, where it still can Beat you, or catch fails and it vanishes.
But if someone for example put in 8h to catch 1 high Tier because he's not a pro gamer, he deserves it imo

[blazing lily]

I hear what you are saying. Yet after you catch it. You still have to catch it. Double possibility of loss is just Insane. Guaranteed If this happened to you after you paid for a T3 run, you would not be feeling this way.

[cunning parrot]

defenitly needs testing and after all should be a fun experience for everbody i would agree

just my thoughts and im sure there are more people thinking like this

[blazing lily]

Dude

[mossy flume]

It's definitely a hard balance. How to keep someone really good at gaming interested while also not making it impossible for those of us who aren't. Again, the fact that we are paying for each round rather than just paying to download the game as a whole does change things. I don't want to be paying to come out empty handed. At the same time not everyone has to be equal. I do think that those who put more in should get more out. The question is what do we make the "more"? Skill? Time? Money (paying for upgrades)? All of the above?🤔

[blazing lily]

Sure, it just doesn't make sense for what the overworld is.
To me it sounds more like trying to make sure only a few people can have the possibility of a possible life changing event.
Not very decentralized.

[void lion]

I think the team will make a good job of this. It should, and it probably will be easier to catch T0s. And we all have to start there. Once you get the hang of it, even casuals will improve by the time they go to higher tier runs and get to chase the really high value ones.

[woven merlin]

Stealth mode to sneak and yoink is a good idea

[blazing lily]

I think it's going to be fine.
It will be hard enough.

[blazing lily]

Yes!

[woven merlin]

I’m no good at fps

But I’m a sneaky little hobbit

[blazing lily]

Hmm so like rouges sneak attack.
Are you managing the wakes now?

[woven merlin]

Haven’t been playing at all

[blazing lily]

I guess it could work if you were able to still run after it stab it or lance it, someone suggested a net.

[woven merlin]

My 17 yr old has taken over my office and pc for the entire holidays and turned it into a dungeon

[blazing lily]

Oh doh

[woven merlin]

Yeh I had my cable management and office looking pretty good…… now 😤

[blazing lily]

I think you will be okay. I've been practising shooting wakes, making it as hard as possible within the mechanics of the game.

[blazing lily]

Argh! Splendor cave needed.

[rotund rune]

He went into Kind of stealthy Mode right before he shoot the kuk, you saw that?

[woven merlin]

It’s getting there. I’ll send you a picture. lol.

[blazing lily]

Yeah definitely! It still ran away though and it was still shooting. I think splendor meant something different to fps?

[woven merlin]

Anything where you can sneak and have a smaller chase would be good

[rotund rune]

Hum...if i remember right it was more of a

• kukk heared something
• Ranger went "stealthy"
• kukk was Like OK it was nothing
• then he shoot and kuk fleed
  I can imagine it's thought of as Like in older assasins creed, where you can sneak up on them with patience to get closer before you Start the hunt

[blazing lily]

Yeah I wonder if it could be stabbed, weaken, daze, the. Break out and head off again. A bit like a monster hunter game. Yet it doesn't run off to a completely different area. That would take too long.

[blazing lily]

Yeah. So that could probably be done with a different weapon. Yet may take a bit too long.

[woven merlin]

It clucked like a chicken and got shot in the butt

I wonder if the illuvials will be making sounds as they roam?

A kukka cocka doodle doing in the distant hills would be funny

[oblique mist]

Let’s just give everyone all of the illuvials then. Why have any skill to catch them? You not catching them gives you incentive to continue ranking up your stuff so you can catch later on. It’s an addiction mechanic.

Respawning at a higher difficulty still gives you a chance in case you attacked wrong, have a different strategy, accidentally bumped into them, etc.

[blazing lily]

You still have to battle to get it.

[oblique mist]

Right, but why not both?

[cunning parrot]

is it a game or a slot machine

[blazing lily]

You still have to battle.

[oblique mist]

Why have hunting if you don’t really need to succeed? You just go again?

[cunning parrot]

im not saying holos or dark holos or some rare stuff should only be caught by pro gamers im just against everybody can catch everything easily and if you miss you can do it again and again

[woven merlin]

Pokémon is good for the addictive side because you didn’t always catch them and some ran away so fast they were hard to catch. Made completing to pokedex more fun

[cunning parrot]

there is no hunting if you can get everythign what you see

[oblique mist]

If the hunting is pointless, I’d kind of rather just skip to the battle. Otherwise it’s just a repetitive annoyance to get into the battle. But if it has consequences, I’m more invested.

[woven merlin]

Being able to see what is possibly around in the area will allow hunters to be more selective in what they want to chase and catch

[blazing lily]

I get where you are both coming from. There is no guarantee you will succeed. No one has played it and you're assuming it will be simple.
I'm guessing once you actually catch a holo it's going to be hard to battle? No? So you spend a lot of time catching, it for harder and harder and now you have a really tough battle.
Why?

[woven merlin]

The bonding curve will make them harder and harder as well

[oblique mist]

Because good things should be hard

[cunning parrot]

no i just dont want it simple or only slot machine feeling and reading some of you guys its a bit of split opinion

[blazing lily]

Perhaps that needs to be a different game. How many hours do you intend playing to get illuvials.
If it was more monster hunter how long do think it would take to gather illuvials.

[oblique mist]

I intend to play overworld a lot more than arena. I don’t mind investing time. I’m here for playing the game and collecting. Not for profit or ROI. So I want the game to feel challenging.

[blazing lily]

You also have RNG on actually getting the illuvial in your shard too.
I'm discounting what you're saying. I'm just not sure it would work.

[oblique mist]

One of the things I love in games is failing

And failing

And the succeeding

The accomplishment becomes more rewarding

[blazing lily]

I get that. I'm in for both. I want it to be a little challenging too.
Yes I absolutely understand that feeling. Yet how long can you keep it up. PvP is like that for me.

[oblique mist]

Hopefully for years. The thing about this game is it will evolve functionality with more and more things to do. So ideally I’ll be able to have different experiences throughout years of play

I’m here for the IBG that lasts a decade

[blazing lily]

I'm just another gamer, yet from what I've heard Aaron say, the overworld is a resource collection to other games. A feed in system
Ow is not the whole game.
It's the same as people wanting PvP battle.

[blazing lily]

Exactly.

[blazing lily]

@granite musk @rigid cypress what are your thoughts on this.

[oblique mist]

I want to build up such a collection that I can pass to my kids and they can enjoy my hours of work 😅

[cunning parrot]

yes there must be this casual mode for hunting i agree 100 percent but i hope there is another hardcore mode aswell with like paying more, risk more and potential get better things

[blazing lily]

Yeah I get that. It's not just collecting though.

[granite musk]

Overworld is both a feed in system (one of two) AND a system of demand (a game where you want things just to play it).

Illuvials will be more important in the Overworld over time. Same for weapons and suits. Etc.

At some point we will have less focus on improvements for Overworld because we’re building other games. However, we will never stop building it.

Also remember the world you begin in will be different than the world people wake up to in a few years. It will fill out and you’ll see the progress and change in the world.

[granite musk]

This is really important. Sometimes people forget there are millions who just want to collect.

Our thesis is they will want to collect more with iconic things to collect, and an active and interesting world.

It’s better than just buying cards.

[blazing lily]

Thanks. I am okay with change and fluid flux. Just a little concerned about making things too challenging.

[blazing lily]

Definitely. I'm probably more to that side. I guess it's more about balance. Because I also want to gather as many as I can to possibly sell in the market.
Craft items ext. If it becomes too difficult for those types of people I'm not sure they will want to keep playing.

Fighting for the crafters out there.

[woven merlin]

[blazing lily]

Yeah.
I plan to be one of those grinders.
My plan is to collect as much as possible and craft as much as possible.
I envision I will have no life for a while.
I want the game to be engaging too so perhaps I should just back off a bit and be more willing to hear others. 😅 Because it could be awesome.

[woven merlin]

I think it might take some time to get all of the balancing and the economy to work smoothly. Could be some weird distortions and fluctuations to begin with. Keep an eye on opportunity

[granite musk]

Keep in mind that there’s a lot of opportunity to collect. The difference between good and bad players isn’t so much the items you get for your money, it’s the time spent to get them.

[blazing lily]

Does this mean it may be possible OW can turn into a full scale MMORPG.
Seriously I assumed from everything that's been said, the things I wanted like, area bosses dungeons , building, would be a different game. So I guess I have become way too rigid in my thinking.

[granite musk]

My thought it that we probably won’t ever make an MMORPG, because the whole suite of all games together will be an MMORPG in the aggregate.

[blazing lily]

Hmm yeah and like @oblique mist and @void lion @cunning parrot mentioned, it does feel awesome after you have worked really hard then get the reward.

[blazing lily]

Okay. Back to the way I understood it then. So it will be more the illuvial collection that changes? As in the difficulty, the mechanism of capture ext.

[deep quartz]

Since you just mentioned all our games being a MMORPG in aggregate, do you then see a possibility for a marketplace feature in Zero, that allows me to sponsor someone's run in the OW?

Basically I would pay for a run with fuel from my land, but another player goes into the OW for me?

Whatever this player catches in the OW is shared between us?

I am not sure if it fits in with the lore, but it would definitely help me as a Zero player and the OW player could play for free.

[blazing lily]

Interesting.

[deep quartz]

I could see great social interaction, maybe I could even watch their OW run, chat with them and they would not feel alone in the OW. 😄

[granite musk]

I think we could do something like this.

[oblique mist]

Overworld Bounties. You post the fee and the terms of engagement (resource splitting) someone else accepts and does the run.

[oblique mist]

Yep! And the goal wouldn’t be for it to be entirely skill. Like ideally you’d be able to capture everything assuming you had more max level items. So it incentivizes you to level up everything.

[cunning parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/break-throw-headset-smash-rage-gif-24035575

[zinc pine]

Thats a great idea, Illuvium should defenitely implement this. Would indeed create more "traffic" for the game

[blazing lily]

Solid, I hear you . Perhaps part of me freaks out because I'm not a financially flux person. So my goal is to use the system to get to the higher tiers.
I do like hard games. Feeling accomplishments from pushing through adversity is very rewarding.

[blazing lily]

Could it also work if people don't have land. Like a PvP player commissioning an OW grinder.

[hollow hull]

can players set some traps to trap illuvials in the openworld ?

[blazing lily]

Lol yes. I'm getting caught up in the 'what's next' too. Even though I have been hanging just to play the whole thing as is, interconnected.

[oblique mist]

Yep! The ideal state would be that you are left in a state not feeling like you didn’t get your monies worth, but that you could have had more if you were higher skilled. So you should still leave the overworld run feeling as if you got what you paid for. But if you did more, you could have made out like a bandit.

[cinder stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/kombucha-tea-girl-drink-hmm-no-well-gif-16080897

[willow pivot]

In Ark there's passive taming where you feed the creature instead of shooting it.

Using stealth mode to sneak up and feed an illuvial x amount of times to trigger the wake could be a nice alternative for those not wanting to blast an Atlas into oblivion

[midnight forge]

The extra energy wakes or whatever they are called I think relate to that already among other strategies you can currently employ to min max

[gentle kelp]

liar, never played CS in my entire life

[gentle kelp]

yep probably, but that’s called « UXUI review », it was on purpose

[south flower]

You won't get everything that you see. I see no problem in the respawn system. You are wasting time if you need more tries to hunt down an Illuvial. That is enough punishment.
After that you still need to defeat the encounter and have the odds on your side to catch the illuvial and hope that it does not run away. That's the part where you catch it or not. Not the hunting mini game before it.

Especially if you consider how big the world is. You can waste alot of time to find that holo Illuvial again that you just missed. Only to see it escape from your shard and run away. 😂
That is content on it's own and can create some excitement if you get a second try hunting a holo never knowing if you will get it in the end.

[midnight forge]

It feels weird to call it hunting before the actual hunting gameplay so to speak is finished. That keeps throwing me off

[steel patrol]

Def i agree to this and it makes sense - like for the Illuvials to remain in the stage if you weren't successful with capturing it on the 1st or 2nd try. By making it very skill based we're going from a 'pack opening' to a 'skilled pack opening' which doesn't make too much sense imo.

[oblique mist]

Then you should be able to re-do the autobattler/catching as much as you need?

[rotund rune]

Again, nobody is talking about you need Zero skill to catch them.
Would you prefer just give the top 5% the Chance to catch all Kind of illuvials, and you and me and the other 95% watching them on YouTube/twitch? 😄

There's not too much strategy involved, you can't gear up other Stuff, since you are already in the Run, accidently bumped into probably happens almost never... Like AT least 75+% of the cases would be you are simply not skilled enough or you have wrong gear with you, so imo it doesn't make sense at all respawning the missed illuvial stronger.

[blazing lily]

Hey all I was thinking of creating a thread in Feedback and ideas to collect everyones thoughts.and keep it going. No set criteria just rolling evolving thing. People seem (including me) super keen to ideate at the moment.
Would anyone be keen to participate if I did so?

Also we are kind of spamming every channel with our conversations. Sorry team 😅 I think we are pumped.

[steel patrol]

As long as you re in the same run that you spent fuel for and still have the energy yes ..let people retry capturing the same one. It s your choice how you spend the energy that you have in one run - collecting resources/capturing etc.. Of course you still have to know what you re doing even if you re using the autobattler or the capturing option.
We re just saying that if you make it too difficult/skill based we ll have tons of people complaining they 'lost' money on every run.

[steel patrol]

Signing off for now but happy to share my thoughts on this in the morning 🙂

[blazing lily]

Cool I'll set one up. I'm also happy to collate what's been said by everyone. So we have a basis to keep going from and what's here isn't lost.
If people are happy with it I could simply repost everything and tag the author?

[drifting lantern]

Way less exciting if they keep coming back.

[thin peak]

Thats just how it is. Same goes with pretty much everything in life.

[elder falcon]

Dont make then respawn, way more fun for content creation/ content watching

[thin peak]

People wont get that dopamine rush that keeps them coming back if theres never any risk or stress. Think of how satifying it would be to capture a rhamphyre, knowing you only had one shot.

[steel patrol]

Think about how much money you have to spend UNTIL you even see one - as you don't seem to take into account the RNG when you simply enter into a run .. you don't know what Illuvials you get inside - you might have to make 10 Stage 3 runs until you encounter one and how punishing it would be if you miss one skilled shot to have the opportunity to capture it. Also not taking into account you have to be properly geared/have a very good Illuvial team AND the chance of him escaping if you don t have the proper shards. So please just stop looking at Illuvium as it would be Palworld

[thin peak]

don't know how you drew that comparison but ok

[thin peak]

Mess up a first date. No redo
Fail an exam. no redo
Lose a sports game no redo
lose money on a trade no redo
Because of that risk of failure it makes succeeding so much more wonderful. And will make owning that rhamphyre so much more cool

[midnight forge]

For now it should just be as simple as find the illuvial, shoot it to open the portal, and fight it in the autobattler. If you lose in the autobattler then it disappears, otw you can find it again if you fail to do the shooting part.

Eventually the world will collapse on you anyways energy or time related i dont remember but it does eventually

[oblique mist]

What’s the difference between the illuvial disappearing when hunting and not respawning. And you not catching them in the auto battler encounter and the encounter closing? If you don’t catch them there, should they respawn? Should you get unlimited attempts to catch them?

[oblique mist]

If the one disappears there’s still plenty of others to catch. Just not the one you missed. There should always be enough to make use of all of your energy. You just shouldn’t get unlimited attempts to get a holo illuvial imo.

So no wasted money. Just you didn’t get the dark holo this time around.

[oblique mist]

And if there’s no consequence to hunting, but there is to the autobattler, why even have hunting? It just becomes a repetitive task to get into the auto battler.

[midnight forge]

It’s a progression to what hunting will actually become. People wanted illuvials in overworld and this is an extra little feature/element as a hold me over until the mode is fully fleshed out. It’s not immutable, it will change.

[oblique mist]

Agreed. But it can be a feature with consequence if you’re not successful.

If everything always respawns you will soon get bored of the hunting and just want to get to the main action.

[midnight forge]

Let’s not try to make more of it than it needs to be and scare away money for no reason is my thought in regards to that.

[oblique mist]

Why is it scaring money away? It creates a more addictive loop imo.

[midnight forge]

I don’t see the hunting as the exciting thing to do in its current state. If anything just a tutorial to get you used to mechanics for when its finished.

Unnecessary punishment because you aren’t an fps /tps gamer when it’s still more about the autobattler doesn’t sit well with me though I won’t say I would leave altogether as a result.

[oblique mist]

We have unnecessary punishment when you aren’t an autobattler player

[midnight forge]

Autobattler just needs a working brain, not dexterity and good eyes

Not that hunting is over the top hard or anything

[oblique mist]

Not everyone has a working brain 😅

Also, I’m not saying that hunting should be this insanely difficult thing

[midnight forge]

Well then gaming might not be for them xD

[oblique mist]

But I do think there should be consequences

And I’m not even trying to really tie it to fps skills

But someone with base level armor and guns shouldn’t have the same chance as someone with max everything

[midnight forge]

I remember an old square enox mobile game that the gacha was a hunting mini game and you had to shoot targets that flew across the map before time expired at lightning speed and high rarities you had to somehow hit multiple times. It was a nightmare that ruined what was otw a really cool card game.

[oblique mist]

Right, I’m not asking for that

[oblique mist]

^

It incentivizes leveling

[midnight forge]

Well thats fine, if you can’t deal enough damage regardless then you’ll learn and realize that, however, missing one or two shots and not being able to try again even though you’re properly geared seems overkill when you’re paying to hunt

[oblique mist]

So that later you can catch the more powerful illuvial

[oblique mist]

Agreed

But missing one or two shots isn’t what I’d push for

[midnight forge]

So in this sense, we can just say that hp needs to scale appropriately so low tier gear will never be able to take out a high tier illuvial

At least until its more true monster hunter though that might not be the capturing mode necessarily at that point

[oblique mist]

Or illuviual hp stays steady

And you just can’t defeat the higher level ones until you’re better equipped

[midnight forge]

That’s completely fair

[oblique mist]

So every skill level with proper equipment should be able to catch the illuviual

However, lower equipment high skill players should have a chance at getting it as well

[midnight forge]

I’d say one tier below should have a chance and maybe tier 3 against tier 5 with godly skills or something

[oblique mist]

So you reward both skill and progression and everyone can catch everything when properly equipped

To me if I can catch everything and everything respawns if I don’t. I’m going to get real bored real fast.

[midnight forge]

Well I don’t think it’s the most exciting mode yet anyways and will continue to wait for my monster hunter gameplay however it’s nice to have them roaming and bringing the world alive somewhat finally

[coarse prism]

Thank you 🙏 I wondered what happened to my peaceful leaks channel

[steel patrol]

I think you re totally missing the point here. It's just not a good experience for casual players - we're playing a game that should be fun and engaging not a real life simulation

[thin peak]

I never said it had to be a real life simulation, classic strawman fallacy. You have to understand that if they can just respawn over and over again, the game is going to feel a lot less engaging for many. For many what makes a game fun is accomplishing something difficult, not just a rng spin for illuvials each run.

Why be sneaky when approaching an illuvial, or why sit up in my chair when I'm about to start the hunt, when it could just respawn over and over again. The entire hunting mechanic is pointless if it just respawns forever.

[steel patrol]

Like Aaron said ..not getting it the first time, 2nd time it s already a punshiment in your own invested time. So basically in the long run you re 'extracting' less value than a skilled player. I think that is good enough.

[random pier]

time is the most valuable thing on earth

[thin peak]

oh please a couple minutes, its not like its gonna put you in time out for an hour

[steel patrol]

Okay i see you re stuck in your own little bubble here so let's just agree to disagree on this one.

[steel patrol]

Lol .. okay thanks for being honest..but you have no idea what you re talking about. Do you know how much 'work' it takes to just level up and fuse 3 stage 1 illuvials? No you don t but you re talking about the feeling of acomplishment of something difficult. Play the game at least for idk 10 hours or so and we can pick this up again. Until then i rest my case

[random pier]

https://tenor.com/view/rest-my-case-i-rest-my-case-judging-you-judge-gif-14813017

[thin peak]

I had a stroke reading that. bro I don't want to sound like that guy, but I play a lot of video games, gotten top 500 in rocket league, overwatch, and apex. I'm sure Ill pick it up pretty fast, so I am not really worried about all the horrifying hard work it is gonna take. (sorry for sounding like 'that guy')
Maybe I just view things through a more competitive side, who knows

At the end of the day we both want whats best for illuvium, and thats all that counts

[south flower]

Because if you are bad at hunting you will loose alot of time searching for the same illuvial again. Which makes your run very inefficient. The regions are massive and it could take you half an hour or longer to find that holo again. So the consequence of hunting is that you can be time efficient or not.

There is not point in making the hunting skill based and then get f*cked by rng during the capturing sequence. You only get a single attempt for every illuvial anyway because the hunting part is just a mini game and the real catch attempt is always a 1 time chance. So I don't get whats the problem here.

I can even see positives in the respawn mechanic. Imagine missing a holo and searching the whole map to find it again, only to find a second holo or a Rhamphyre on the map that you would have missed otherwise.

[rotund rune]

Unlimited attemps? You know you enter the biomes with 5k energy, if energy is 0 you can't catch or harvest anything. Entering an encounter costs you like 600ish energy.
Yes, i actually think they should respawn.

[south flower]

That's not true. How would you find an Illuvial in like Abyssal Basin in a couple of minutes? Have you even played Overworld and seen how big the map is? It can easily take 30+ min to find that specific Illuvial again. That's a massive punishment and player will only ever do that if it is a really valuable Illuvial that ran away. Otherwise they will just continue their run.

[hard timber]

JimboJump. takes not that much time to go from a part to an other.

[south flower]

But the Illuvials are tiny compared to the environment. I know that you can travel fast through the map but that doesn't mean it is easy to find a single Illuvial again. I did not try it. But how many times do you think you have to travel west/east through Abyssal Basin until you coverd the whole map from north to south? And don't forget that there are high plateaus that you cannot cover as easy as the ground. And even in Brightland steppes you have to climb up (or bubble up) every hill again. And crimson waste has many narrow corridors that have to be searched.

So the skill based part of the hunting is that you have to master the movement mechanics. No need to make it more punishing. If you cannot move fast you will miss the Illuvial many times and loose alot of time. At least from the gameplay teaser it looks like you should be able to follow an Illuvial fast enough

[granite musk]

Generally it will be easier than people think, based on the features you see now. However, there are other features that will make it harder, so that the overall difficultly is... "close to medium". But we are making it so that if you take your time, you can make it easier. Always time cost not money cost [for skill].

[oblique mist]

If we’re upset that missing a hunt means missing out on that specific illuvial and it should always respawn. I was asking if things should be unlimited. Make capturing and battling unlimited if you fail there as well. So no consequences to anything == getting rid of energy and you can capture everything that exists in the overworld. I don’t understand why hunting is the one thing that should come without consequences. So yeah, that would lead to unlimited attempts for the people who would be afraid of “losing money”.

[rotund rune]

Never was i talking about unlimited capturing and battling, that's the wrong way to go. It would Limit the devs basically on how many assets they can put into a Run.
You have consequences, if you really want to get it, you have to search for it again. (Time loss)

[oblique mist]

Agree to disagree. Time loss is not nearly the same as energy or illuvial loss. Make hunting at least cost energy then if we’re going to respawn.

[rotund rune]

Ok

[oblique mist]

And again, I’m not advocating for a super hard fps hunting. It should be fairly easy if you’re properly equipped.

But if you’re not properly equipped or you mess up. It shouldn’t respawn. Giving you more incentive to level up your gear and progress your player. Someone with max gear should have an easier time catching than someone with base level gear. And the illuvial not respawning gives you motivation to get higher gear for the next encounter.

And I realize I kept going after saying agree to disagree 😂

[rotund rune]

I think time-management is more than enough motivation for upgrading your gear.
You wana stay on stage1 hunting and trying to catch it for hours and failing, even sleeping during the encounter so you can keep trying the Next day.
Even keep going for another Day just to realize 3 days later your gear is simply too low to catch it?
Or do you wana Upgrade and Farm the whole encounter in 30 mins.

[oblique mist]

I agree with your point mostly. But if it’s a dark holo rhampy. I’m keeping that encounter open all week 😂

[uneven nest]

Aside from that I think we should have some kind of warning for users entering stage 2 or higher with bad gear or even an unlock mechanism like clearing the previous stage first

[rotund rune]

Sounds reasonable.
I guess there is also mentioning about that stuff in the Tutorial

[midnight forge]

You already have motivation to get higher gear if you straight up can’t deal enough damage. However, the focus from yesterday was giving appropriate leniency to someone who messed up their shooting or aiming or hell, maybe their keyboard broke or pc froze

[broken sorrel]

Wen cinema trailer

Or little taste of lore

[blazing lily]

Sorry @coarse prism I tried. I think the conversations are too deep now and moving it would just halt the flow.

[coarse prism]

https://tenor.com/view/wave-elephant-wave-boarding-gif-7396153

Just go with da flow!

[blazing lily]

Yup!!

[clever root]

how to apply scholar in this game?

[blazing lily]

Hey AppaRoray,
There is currently no official Illuvium scholarship program.
Illuvium have a partnership with Polemos and they have a scholarship program for Iz holders.
So you can go there in the meantime or ask in #🎮〕illuvium-zero which I think you have or a guild and wait and see.
There are a fair number of people that made private deals.
I can ask one of the people I worked lands for if they have anything open if you would like?

[rotund rune]

Where this from?

[worn sparrow]

Alex Twitter, sound from Vincent Fliniaux

[hard timber]

The portal where illuvial escape are the same that ones that give you energy back ?. (Didn't play since long time in overworld but remember that feature).
like can we remove the portal that the illuvial use to escape.

[worn sparrow]

Yes, they look the same. They are called Ergon Rift.

Not sure I understand well what you mean about the remove portal part your mentionning.

[hard timber]

mmmh when you got back energy from the ergon rift. it remove it from the map right ?

[worn sparrow]

Yes

The Erhon Rift portal seems to only appear when you shoot at the illuvial, when starting the hunt, and it seems to be on a timer.

[ivory grail]

Ergon rifts are always in the world and once you start hurting an illuviul it runs to the nearest one. It was also mentioned that when an illuviul escapes through one it comes back out through a different one so if they do get away you do still have a chance to find it again

[worn sparrow]

Ho did not know that part of Rift portal for illuvials.

[coarse prism]

So we are gonna play hide and go seek in the OW

[lilac pike]

That makes it way better

Hide n seek is fun

Except we’re always it. When do we get to hide

[midnight forge]

That’s hunting 1.0

We gonna have like version 0.2

[random pier]

what are you saying? And why are you disappointed?

[cunning agate]

From reading the message, it seemed that if you moved the lands the score obtained playing in illuvium zero was reset (equal to 0), so no Fuel Crate should correspond to me. Despite having moved my lands, they gave me "Fuel Crate "for each land. I think I have rushed or I have not understood the news. EXCUSEME.

[flat rose]

It was simply a wallet small snapshot. If you held a land in your wallet you receive a fuel crate. Check your wallet on the IlluviDex

[void lion]

Please tell me we will not miss out on physical merch in toy stores once we get open beta out of the way. Puzzles, sticker albums, plushies, physical card collection etc. Let's not forget that Pokemon started out that way and this could be a great way to hook a new generation of collectors. Show me a kid that would see this image on the cover of a sticker album and would NOT be interested in checking out what these cuties are about...

[midnight forge]

This picture just makes me salty about the current lack of a card game for illuvitars/illuvials

[cloud patio]

They are already making 3 games at the same time which I would say is too much, let's not also ask for a fourth, for the good of the project and the people who work there.

[coarse prism]

We need a Saturday morning Illuvium Cartoon

[blazing lily]

What do you think about an unplugged card game. Like a real life one. A game I follow has done this for their game they already had a tournament and it was successful.

[blazing lily]

Yes!! 🙌🏼

[midnight forge]

Eventually yea I think it’s a good idea if the brand takes off.

[magic citrus]

new ultrawide 5120x1440 desktop background haha

[magic citrus]

ran it thru a few ai upscalers as well and i think this one was the best result

[willow pivot]

I wish kids still watched Saturday morning cartoons like I did in the 90s. Sadly that's not the world we live in anymore

[zealous jacinth]

Spider-Man and X-Men FTW

[midnight forge]

They can watch em online now anytime they want so yea… We can also do it though so I consider it a win overall.

[worn sparrow]

💧

[frosty copper]

oo that looks pretty cool ngl

[granite musk]

Just got the first cut of the release trailer. This is a combo of some footage you've seen, plus the in game cinematic you see at the start of the game. We have only a couple scenes left to add, but it's looking really nice. Music choice is top notch. I'm not saying you'll go bonkers for it, but you might.

@loud socket You might have gotten a leak, by the way.

[loud socket]

Wdym?

Oh, yeah. 😂

[granite musk]

I think you were the only person who read that when it had a leak in it. So you can keep that one for yourself. 🙂

[loud socket]

shhhhh 🤫

♥️

[pearl vector]

Damn I was a few minutes too late

[granite musk]

Feel free to ping me if you think you know the leak. I won’t confirm but I’d be interested to know if you got it.

[granite musk]

https://tenor.com/view/you-lose-willy-wonka-gif-4633877

[grim crow]

Aaron, when pb4, cant wait to get my hands on the product!

[granite musk]

Still have some work to do on it. But we'll have at least a couple more updates before PB4. Our release cadence is getting faster and that will continue.

[untold saddle]

Is the bigger than Netflix announcement real?

[cunning parrot]

Kieran already leaked the wedding song choice and there is a wedding playlist on spotify so its common knowledge by now

[grim crow]

Like i know its probably hard to answer, and u wont i know.
but are we still looking good, to stay on track with our roadmap?

idk man, im just fucking dying for information and updates on the progress.

https://tenor.com/view/is-it-gif-20766212

[granite musk]

Yes. We are. Some extra features for both games are in the works. The brain team is getting everythign working with Passport. And if some things aren't ready before others we're trying to have as many contingencies so that we can launch anyway.

[grim crow]

tyvm for the answer and reassurance.

[rotund rune]

What was it? Tell me! DM's are open 🙃

[hazy brook]

Will Passports be a must or will the current system be kept as an alternative?

[flat rose]

https://tenor.com/view/lotr-keep-it-safe-secret-lord-of-the-rings-gif-13760065

[flat rose]

Wait… Aaron just said it’s discussion time… he will not confirm but we get to speculate to our hearts content

Or maybe he does want it secret or maybe he lets you decide if it’s secret

[analog dagger]

Illuviums glow up will be biblical

[native willow]

Morning,

Passport is required to play Overworld. It brings a ton of benefits with it that make the gameplay experience infinitely better.

We will also support secondary wallets, so you can connect multiple wallets to your account in a read-only state e.g. Land could remain on your secondary wallet and be used to login and play Zero.

[rotund rune]

But not multiple Accounts linked to 1 wallet, right?

Would kind of destroy economy

[drowsy wolf]

Do we switch to Immutable zkEVM powered by polygon?

[arctic ridge]

what is that status of the audits? I know in the past with staking that audits can take a while. Obviously security is a top priority. Any worries with auditing delaying things?

[native willow]

Correct

[native willow]

No plans to

[native willow]

We don't have any audits outstanding, Fuel Exchange was done late last year.

[neat ice]

Wait why not? Maybe I dont understand zkevm

Doesnt it just allow u more smart contract freedom?

We do not have a requirement for zkEVM.

StarkEx serves our purpose and until there is reason to do so, we need not add to scope.

[neat ice]

Idk the complexity of it all. I suspect we would eventually have to migrate tho right? Say end of 2024?

[scarlet hemlock]

why? seems starkex is not going anywhere, it'll live alongside zkevm

[elder falcon]

What about leviathan arena? Is leviathan arena planned for open beta?

[midnight forge]

The only real difference i know of would be levels and stats so i see no reason why it wouldn't though it will take people time to build and level up teams they want to use in there anyways so it wouldn't be a big deal if it launched a little later imo

[blazing lily]

Fabulous 😍

[desert depot]

Is that for OB ? Or PB4 ?

If OB, what’s needed for PB4 ?

In fact, are you guys still planning a PB4 ? 😅

[neat ice]

I just thought zkevm allowed significantly more. A DEX for example

[native willow]

PB4 scope = OB scope, same features with the only difference being Testnet vs Mainnet.

We're spinning up the Sepolia Environment currently 🙂

[livid rapids]

Thanks nick

[desert depot]

Thanks Nick !

[jade geyser]

Looks like most of the backend/blockchain parts have been completed now - mostly just frontend work to do 🔥

[neat ice]

I say give random people in the community early access if their username starts with scorio

[frosty imp]

Has there been much discussion on how long you think pb4 will be playable for? Personally i hope for only a weekend so i don't overplay/burn myself out before the real thing 😅 but wonder how much time played by the community is needed to properly test it

[urban aspen]

Yea I know Scoriot's been waiting for quite some time

[native willow]

Yeah it's a current topic of discussion, I'm certainly in favor of keeping it as brief as possible

[neat ice]

I will say the 'limited betas' are super annoying to me. I'd rather have it open for months than open for a weekend and shut for months. Or u wait until u can drop it the weekend before launch or something idk

[neat ice]

Yeah there may be others too

[old quartz]

So for a hot second Aaron commented the two names for 2 other drones (so a total of 4 drones).

Now since Aaron seems to NOT want this to get out, I will just say that one of the names reminds me of a name from a different game that also had a mechanical "friend" helping you out.

[lean dragon]

no clue lol

[rotund rune]

Chopin was a pretty good guess 🙃

[lean dragon]

oooh didnt see this. Of all the 4 Im not familiar with hilde lol

[rotund rune]

Same 😄

[rotund rune]

Maybe it's her?

[blazing lily]

That would be cool. Do you think they will be tied to factions?

[flat rose]

Bach

Oh I’m late

[flat rose]

I think Buckley is the mid size drone seen in one of the drone backgrounds in #🎮〕illuvium-beyond

[granite musk]

None of them are tied to factions. One might be considered so, but not really.

[granite musk]

Buckley is the builder drone in Illuvium Zero.

There was some name swaps (rather model swaps) early on and we haven’t changed everything. But there’s one builder, 4 companions, one forger, and then mommy.

[final holly]

https://tenor.com/view/mommy-adamdriver-thisiswhereileaveyou-gif-5865849

Oh no wait, mummy is the big drone that is above in the arena.

[plush spruce]

thanks man!!!

[hazy brook]

ooohhhhh 👀

Can't we just pay FUEL to swap Drones? I'd like to change buddies from time to time 😂

Or in Pokemon you could aquire the other starter Pokemon by swapping them with another player 😁

[granite musk]

When you start the game we give you a drone of your choice (you get to chose from 3).

Because of this, we can’t make it an NFT. It needs to be account bound. You can acquire them as NFTs but that will require fuel.

One of them will be a bit more limited.

[novel scaffold]

That’s nice, if they can be made into NFTs with fuel then there is the potential to buy and swap in and out eventually that way?

[granite musk]

Yep. Originally I tried to have everything either account bound or as NFTs but there are so many use cases for having both for some items.

[barren kernel]

oh man hes meannnn

[random pier]

beast

[hazy brook]

So 1 is fixed and the rest you can acquire? Can you acquire upgraded Drones from other users?

Also 3?

What about Mozart??? 👀

[granite musk]

Yeah.

[worn sparrow]

👀

[hazy brook]

Awesome 🔥 but just to clarify...

Mozart will be an option right? 😳

[granite musk]

No. Mozart is an outdated model. A bit crazy too. You won't be able to select it on launch, however some people here will get it as an NFT. We haven't decided how that will work.

[hazy brook]

You know that this will break a lot of people's hearts? 💔🥲

[granite musk]

I think a lot of the people who's hearts will be broken might get a surprise. But who knows?

[lilac pike]

Yippeeeeeeee

[barren kernel]

Oh Mai

[lilac pike]

I like surprises

Can’t wait for the official announcement: “burn all your illuvitars to be awarded with Mozart”

[wooden holly]

Miiiiiiiiii*

[flat rose]

I know some people that will like this news.

[blazing lily]

Will we be able to create a custom version of our ranger as an NFT?

[blazing lily]

Pumped!!

[granite musk]

That’s been the long term plan. We’re working on character customisation now. Not in time for Beta though.

[blazing lily]

Fantastic! I've always wanted to be able to have a keepsake of the characters I've played, sometimes the same one for multiple years.
I look forward to it. 😬

[granite musk]

Once you create the NFT that character look will be locked. Nobody will be able to look exactly like you.

[barren kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/multiverso-multiverso-akela-multiverso-scout-gif-8208802467565299466

[random pier]

There will be that many options ? That everyone can have a unique ranger?? How

[blazing lily]

That is brilliant! I see that very alluring to a lot of players.

[granite musk]

Combinatorics.

[blazing lily]

That is a golden word. 😁

[random pier]

What does it mean?

[random pier]

How does it work? Like face mouth eyes hair body shape height options?

[lilac pike]

If there’s one of each character I suspect we can choose the exact number of hairs on their head

[blazing lily]

I don't want to answer for Aaron, yet I remember in the leaks we saw there would be character customisation. Like other games, hair. - body type. Not sure how detailed the face stuff will be. I hope it's fairly detailed.
Skins, with the ability to use dyes, making them a little different. That's what I have seen so far. Yet it seems there may be more. 😬

[blazing lily]

That would be detailed 😁 my usual time on customer character design would quadruple!

[midnight forge]

Considering our relation to ethlizards I can only hope to be able to play as a lizard man

That was my go to in oblivion

[blazing lily]

The lizard people! Did you see the new Skyrim trailer!!!

Golden path or something. Looks fantastic.

[blazing lily]

I can never bring myself to play them, even though they have a good base stat.

I don't see that happening yet who knows.

[neat ice]

Really when u think about it, 10 variations for 10 aspects of the person, eyebrows, torso, skin colour, hairstyle etc and you've already got 10,000,000,000 combinations. 10b

Now with an eyedropper for various things such as haircolour adds 1000+ variations to 1 of the options

U can see how quickly it becomes mathematically simple

[untold saddle]

Love him so much!

[untold saddle]

We will need to have a lot of options with the amount of people flooding the Illuviverse once the games are life! 😄

[granite musk]

As Scoriox said 10 choices in 10 aspects is enough to cover everyone on the planet.

[untold saddle]

This should be enough for a while haha

[granite musk]

There's more than that, but either way the point is that I think we'll be ok. The trick is to get them to feel different enough, which actually means FEWER choices to make them distinct. We can get away with tattoos and body shapes and such to really make people unique.

[untold saddle]

Right you need to be able to tell the diffrence.
So as I understood after OP we can mint our character and we can send it to other wallets so that they can play with it.

[bronze pilot]

I want a red panda - chestpiece that shines through the armor. 😏
Or maybe actually red panda body shape?

[granite musk]

Yeah but remember if another wallet has your Ranger NFT then they get to be you. So make sure you transfer it to one of YOUR wallets.

[barren kernel]

Rogier is very tight lipped on it

and tutorial

...

[frosty imp]

As much as i'd like to see it asap I feel it should be saved to just prior to open beta launch so it hypes people up into downloading/playing on ob release

Think i've watched the official trailer over 1000x now haha

[blazing lily]

Yay.

[mossy flume]

Rogier is a great artist but he is not nearly leaky enough.

[coarse prism]

As much as I love leaks I look forward to hopefully having many cool discoveries by exploring the OW and playing ILV-0 after launch

[smoky flower]

Yeah in love the leaks as well but i think its very important that there are enough surprises on game launch 🙂

[ember steeple]

yeah, I want a worldwide launch of the trailer, seeing the last one live was one of the highlights of 2022

[untold saddle]

I think it's great to not leak everything it was great at the start when we didn't know the team.
All OG's should have a lot of trust in the team by now.

In my opinion it will be much more interesting to explore the game without knowing every corner already.
Also I hope the legendary illuvial will not be leaked until someone finds it. It's enough that we know it exists. Would be even better if there would be two unknown illuvials to find.

Hoping for some thick female rangers as well. For my wife of course

[blazing lily]

Lol
I have a few female friends that play MMOrpgs. They always make their characters like their true selves.
I've always been like ' I live with this in real life, I want my idealistic version please' ,😅

[midnight forge]

They are completely at peace with who they are

[neat ice]

I always do my ideal form too. Crazy coloured hair and tall lol

Once I did this in VR and I was tall asf in Skyrim, super unreal tbh

For anyone who is unaware I'm 171 cm. So about average height for a Male (but perceived as short)

[old quartz]

wear glasses too?

[neat ice]

Not usually an option for glasses, I play a lot of fantasy and sci-fi

[blazing lily]

Not really. The women I know do it because they don't like how women characters are portrayed in video games. They would all like to be fitter and healthier. Just not shamed or stereotyped if they are not at any given time.

[blazing lily]

Haha. I always stay short and model the character similar to how I look. Just how my body is when I'm not overweight. 😅

[neat ice]

I will say that being a different height in a video game is super uncanny. In VR u genuinely feel like you are that height and it takes 'a mile in someone elses shoes' to a whole different level.

That would feel different. I do find it strange when I meet someone shorter than me.

Oh man you videoed me

[granite musk]

Once we get in the full version of customisation we'll try to cover all types of people since it is meant to be your identity. Maybe we will force you to face scan and basically dox yourselves by your in game looks. 😛

Next week I'll be able to have some more leaks as well. Sorry for the dryening.

[flat rose]

Use the military grade rock scanning drone.

Bbzzzurg I am here to collect your body scan for upload to the illuvium servers bbzzzurg

your short bro

Shhhhh

You're*

[granite garnet]

you lying is worse than correcting that. 😛

I didn't lie. It's average height. But I suspect global averages include Asia. Where I am a giant

Wen munchkin rangers?

[granite musk]

You're*

I'm the shortest in my family though, so perhaps that's my sympathy talking.

[granite garnet]

global average hahaha. clutching at straws. nothing wrong with a short king tho 🙂

[coarse prism]

Will our ranger have a crouch button to stealth mode capture illuvials? Also for Multiplayer shenanigans?

[rotund rune]

Maybe something close to it?
Remember the Ranger in the hunting leak, right before he starts shooting the kuk?

[floral breach]

@granite musk Hi Aaron, whom I can talk about the rasing details? I come from a crypto research and investment company, me and my team have been following the Illuvium for a very long time...... We want to help.

[granite musk]

Best to reach out to Kieran.

[blazing lily]

Haha 😆

[marble lily]

How to bridge ilv from eth to immutable x chain?

[floral breach]

Thanks, directly on Twitter or something, the best efficient way to push this.

Hello

Not financial advice

[sand badger]

Hi, do we have any info about when the next season of zero will start ?

[night ledge]

Sup @cyan gale

[rotund rune]

Roadmap says Q2 2024

[floral breach]

Hi Kirean, dm you.

[fading berry]

Was there an update today?

[flat rose]

There was an ama yesterday I think. Check Nijafe in #🎨〕community-content

[ember steeple]

kieran said the trailer will crush our soul. Here's what I'm thinking: you crash land on a planet, meet Atlas, he becomes your best buddy. An evil corpo lands on the planet, kidnaps your Atlas, and flies off. You are left tryin to survive and rebuild your spaceship to go after him

[flat rose]

They have said that we don’t play as captain Arlen. But are searching for clues as to her whereabouts

[pearl vector]

So we’re like the search and rescue team I take it then. Maybe there’ll be some transmission we as the ranger get from Arlen that causes us to go out there. Like it would be awesome to get the cinematic of watching inside the ship as Arlen is going down sending out a transmission to the rest of the rangers letting them know she’s going down.

[flat rose]

I think we are the crew. Perhaps we were in cryostasis aboard the ship when it went down. 🤷

[midnight forge]

That’s the opening to Hearts Ablaze iirc

[flat rose]

[high bronze]

I swear, if you make a sandbox mode for Overworld and make nfts for that sandbox with a loadout interface similar to Roblox and Gary's Mod,
You will make sooo much money and gain millions of players!

[pearl vector]

That would be pretty sweet honestly

Just a bunch of community modes like hide and seek, prop hunt, murder, etc. that would be quite fun

[coarse prism]

I would love to have an arena mode that applies a random burn/modifier each round. Example round one water bonus, round 2 only T2 illuvials, round 3 behemoth bonus etc. This would make you have to change up your teams on the fly and make each game feel wildly different (think marvel snap with an ILV arena twist)

[urban axle]

A metal shiny variant like this would be cool to find in the wild while doing Overworld runs.

[midnight forge]

don't call it the gold skin, call it the btc skin

[untold saddle]

What is it a skin?

[coarse prism]

Only @barren kernel has the answers

The team has been COOKING 🔥, new illuvitars look great. Overworld looking even more detailed, new mechanics look crazy. New illuvial lines look so good

[worn sparrow]

New sprint VFX and speed change, loving i!

[worn sparrow]

[cinder stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/tsg-tarren-illuvium-illuvium-gif-tarren-gif-gif-26913110

[worn sparrow]

So Shard can be found in Deposit mines with different state pure / fragmented ?
If yes, does it's increase the stability of the shard to the capture chance as well ?

[dense solar]

no

[barren kernel]

Very Aaronesk answer

[dense solar]

no

:}

[worn sparrow]

Well, missing Grant to give explaination during those leak video

[dense solar]

[rotund rune]

Power Charge from drone for faster sprinting?

[barren kernel]

Gets leaks... Still not happy

[frosty imp]

Holo / dark holo shards? Maybe guaranteed capture masterball style?

[dense solar]

the shards is concept art

dont read to much into it

[worn sparrow]

It's just leak mean players will want explanation around it if possible, it's not a must but it's help us to have a better understanding of the game.

Video is great a lot of leaks in it

[cunning parrot]

sick

[dense solar]

Yep i understand, but most of you guys now know almost know everything... and all the intricate details, u'll find out soon enough 🙂

[cunning parrot]

[cinder stirrup]

Very unleaky guy

[worn sparrow]
