[cerulean veldt]

usually yes, but mostly its so little money/profit that no one cares

[jovial haven]

Right now our illuvials are not nfts right? They will get reset?

[mossy sorrel]

if you mean biodata.. yes, they'll reset

[jovial haven]

Unfortunate, ah well, not playing until reset 🙂

[potent cliff]

what is your guess, how much will you make out of a T1...T4 land if you play it optimally in $/month?

[white mural]

is the next land sale known?

[dry mango]

only when there is demand, there is no fixed date

[potent cliff]

did i understand it correctly that all the fuel that exists will come out of lands?

[unique hatch]

Perhaps we could get an auto-complete option for plots when upgrades finish? it would be beneficial for afk operations, or if someone's working multiple plots simultaneously.

[random siren]

no I think its like 1 out of 15.

[blissful storm]

100%! I was not aware it was all sold to a pool…

so is the DAO that mints the token? and then people buy it from there?

Do you think it would be possible to add another layer to this where people sending in fuel can decide to get “travel tickets” as NFTs

[copper inlet]

@random siren
95% DAO
5% Land

[regal trout]

Its not possible that the dev have played the game and not be annoyed from the level up messages. 😂 😂

[vivid cipher]

I’m not a tax expert. And my only real advice is to talk to a tax expert. But here’s my understanding for where I pay taxes.

You would be selling a token that you just minted. So… zero capital gains… which means no actual tax on the sale. But you would get taxed as income for receiving these newly minted fuel tokens at no cost anyways.

Also, fuel tokens should really be on IMX am not ethereum mainnet anyways. So etherscan would not be the place to find them. Immutascan should be the spot.

[cerulean veldt]

I dont know on what country you base that assumption on but for most western countries the cost basis for a token you receive is zero correct, but that just means that the full value of the token is taxable either with income tax or capital gains. Regardless in any case it is a taxable event. Either you recieving the token, or you are swapping the token or you are using the token to get a service in the game (realising value)

I already talk to my tax attorney and for the country I live it the cost basis is zero and capital gains needs to be paid on the full token value once it is being sold for fiat or for a product or service ( which OW is) If I would have not sold token I could have argued that it is still in the game ecosystem and therefore not realized value, however if I switch it for ETH in a pool it has been been realized and that argument is not valid. I know this is very individual for everyone, however switching the fuel for another crypto is in most cases a taxable event for almost everybody

I love the game but if I have to pay tax on the revenue I generate before playing the OW I rather sell my land and buy ILV instead and buy the fuel on the open market

[primal wagon]

I think an argument could be made for the funds being locked in IMX and not easily transferred to fiat. So anything on imx could be seen as in locked “in game ecosystem” until transferred to L1

[cerulean veldt]

does IMX even have 3rd layer capabilities?

[little moon]

Does illuvium zero is gona reset? Can I keep the blueprints found so far?

[hoary forge]

reset coming soon. but no date announced yet. after that reset you can scan and keep the blueprints.

[little moon]

Thanks.

[copper charm]

hey! what is the deal with clearing plants? Sometimes I get tokens sometimes I dont

tried on different lands at different levels

[copper charm]

will the reset take all of our earned solon, crypton etc?

we only keep blue prints?

[hoary forge]

all will be wiped.

[copper charm]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i make so many work

much time long hard

big shit take on Kieran

🫡

🤝

[hoary forge]

after the wipe. you can scan for blueprints and keep them. but only after the first wipe.

[copper charm]

how many times are we wiping this butt?

shouldnt there only be 1?

[copper charm]

W3n is that happening?

[copper charm]

coooolio thx

so are we on zero or 1 rn

[hoary forge]

we are on Zero right now

[copper charm]

kkkkkk

thx

Game is great so far

big fan of starcraft as a kid and never found time to pick up and try out SC2

this is my SC2

[potent cliff]

where does the dao get its fuel from?

[copper inlet]

just minting/creating token

[pallid quiver]

I got like 6 or 7 within a week and nothing since and only 3 illuvials.

[sly rampart]

So we getting a date.. think thats when the butt will be clean haha

#🎮〕illuvium-beyond message

[marble raft]

We need ranks and rewards

[vivid cipher]

Sorry I had to look up what you were meaning when asking about layer 3. I’m not a dev and am just sharing what I’ve learned.

From what I can tell, it looks like you are asking if IMX supports Dapps like AMMs.

There are not currently any AMMs operating on imx. But imx is expanding its capabilities to provide for the needs of its gaming partners. The plan is for the 3 different fuel tokens to be in a balancer style multi-asset pool along with ETH, all on IMX network. That’s the plan. Whether or not that will be ready by public beta launch is not yet seen.

IMX does allow contract interactions as seen when loading a D1sk or bonding accessories to illuvitars. The IlluviDex is certainly a dapp. Though it does not have an AMM at this point.

The flow planned for fuel tokens is for land owners to mint and immediately swap as part of the single process to get their fuel tokens out of the #🎮〕illuvium-zero game and onto the blockchain. It’s done this way to activate the DAOs tap of fuel tokens maintaining the proper landowner:DAO ratio (1:19). Then they either have the ETH they want or would have chosen to get fuel into their wallet for use, which would mean that eth was swapped back for fuel. Since all of this would happen in the same moments at the same valuation I don’t see how there would be any increased tax burden for the land owner.

The reality is there’s a lot of the precise technical aspects that might need tweaked to work at peak efficiency. But that is the plan. There are some community ideas about this being discussed in https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1080380994667941888

[vivid cipher]

That sounds like a season 1 feature.

[cerulean veldt]

thank you, I really appreciate your thoughtful answer

[icy thicket]

If i was to send my land to my Ledger... this will wipe my current progress?

Also, can I link my Ledger to my existing illuvium account, or will I need to set up a new account?! 🤔

I currently have a metamask wallet connected to my ILV email/account

[tall crypt]

10/3/2023 Tier1: 510$ Tier2: 1417$ Tier3: 4218$ Tier4: 13880$ Before delay Tier1: 700$ Tier2: 2000$ Tier3: 7000$ Tier4: 20000$ without words...

[neon galleon]

Obviously the delay was bad but its not fair to compare like that as if the whole crypto market haven’t gone down as well

[random siren]

good questions. not sure of the answers but do you already have your ledger connected to your metamask?

[icy thicket]

I have a Ledger 😉 connected to my specific metamask = do not believe so.

I use my metamask as "hot"/"minting" wallets

[random siren]

i wonder if you have the ledger account open on metamask during signing in to illuvium account that would work.

[wary notch]

It will

[fair temple]

Currently I think your Zero progress is tied to your account rather than your land. This will change but im not sure if it even matters. after all, we will reset upon season 1 Alpha.

You can now link and unlink wallet addresses to your Illuvium account. But your Illuvitar d1sk buys will reset upon switching. Not sure exactly how this works either.

You can just make a new wallet on your ledger, bridge that to metamask and then link it to your Illuvium account. Shouldnt take too much 🙂

[random siren]

good to know!

[hoary forge]

I have my ledger connected to metamask and that to illuvium account.
works perfect.
i log in with my metamask on pc and if i buy sell or send something i need to sign up on my ledger and confirm it there.

[icy thicket]

Thanks to each of you for the comments and advise - worse case if I mess sum up I can bug someone on the Team to save the day!

I am trying to fix it to have my lands in the Ledger and the Ledger connected to ZERO/ Illuvium account before the launch of Alpha - NOWS THE TIME TO DO IT!!

[icy thicket]

Thanks Garf!! How long you been with Illuvihub... that feels like news to me... or I'm still out of it and forgot lol

[vague pier]

If the D1sk purchases are reset, are there no emotes?

[hoary forge]

check #🎨〕community-content Scoriox has a nice Video about ledger.

[fair temple]

We didnt really makr a big deal out of it since we just continue where Infoluvial left off. its been about 2-3 months now 🙂

[fair temple]

Thats what i dont know. Sorry 🙂 maybe ask in #🎮〕illuvium-beyond

[sonic whale]

is there any progress / news for when the data wipe will happen for Illuvium Zero so that we can play to earn / mint the Blue prints we find?

[hoary forge]

there will be a update soon. Stay tuned and check #📣〕announcements a few times a week or go to #1038034977864032276 and get the announcement role to get notif.

[sonic whale]

cheers appreciate the feedback

[lyric hamlet]

Don't defend the delays. They promise and don't deliver

They are just playing catch-up and betting on simps like you to give them a pass

[neon galleon]

I'm not defending, the argument he used that just doesn't seem right

[ornate prawn]

In the Illuvidex the land sales section the filter seems to be stuck on Illuvitars. Can’t sort through land sales.

[silver bluff]

where can i change password for ilv0 ?

[viscid remnant]

Can we all please hold the team accountable for better communication? it has been almost 3 weeks since we were supposed to move forward on IZ and still nothing at all communicated in terms of progress. Just that is is delayed. They 100% should be addressing this in a live or in announcements as to what they are still working on and how long they anticipate it taking even with rough estimates. I have said before that delays are fine, but bad communication is not. If they actually thought they could release 3 weeks ago you would think the release would have happened by now even with the delay. The land holders literally funded the entire game development thus far. I would imagine the team would be grateful and treat them better. Just my opinion of course.

[random siren]

Illuvitar sale in going full stream right now. why launch two products at once that makes no sense give them a week we will hear some news!

[random siren]

refresh it

[viscid remnant]

I agree. Why not release what you said you were going to first and then move on the the next things.

[random siren]

plans change man they are doing their best. like I said give them a week 👍

[unique hatch]

Is there an estimate on wipe date currently?

[tall crypt]

THEY HAVE BAD COMMUNICATION. Good communication is maintained with the You tubers on minor issues. They think they have good communication. No one here likes what you've written. Fanatically they find everything fine and everything normal. They have no critical sense and are not capable of raising their voices, only to silence the unruly in the chat.
Did you see that there were problems during the first minutes of the launch of Illuvium Beyond, did you see any apology note? The same thing happens with IZ, they are not capable of putting themselves in the shoes of the landowners. How do you want them to put themselves in the shoes of future users?
I believe that there are people who are too authoritarian from above who do not let the heads of communication decide, otherwise they would have told us the truth and would keep us informed. Even if they get IZ up and running, the damage is already done. The problem is not that they have postponed the launch of IZ, the problem is not giving a new date.

[random siren]

if they give dates and miss them people get mad, if they don't give dates people get mad. 🤣

[tall crypt]

You are one of those who is right and you find everything good. Your reaction is predictable and useless. You don't offer answers to angry people. We prefer to hide the truth and keep people falsely hopeful. It is very typical of politicians. Well, I get wet: "Illuvium Zero" will be launched again at the end of October.

[random siren]

I have seen multiple times moderators have said an announcement about Zero is coming soon. and that was today so not sure what else you are looking for.

[random siren]

I got you an update just for you Fabishop. This is coming straight from the head dev on Zero

[random siren]

see above quirty

where did yall go?

[ancient nacelle]

Does anyone have a good example of how to best position their converters and power plants to get the most efficiency out of the entire plot?

[random siren]

there are a few tips on youtube. click the efficiency button and you can see how your are perfoming. roads help with stuff too.

[bleak raven]

wen zero

how can I lend my land

[random siren]

Zero is out now in beta. Land lending won't be out till at least full launch I would think

[ancient nacelle]

Thanks mate. I'll check out yt. I am aware of the efficiency button, I was just wondering if anyone has come up with a good combination of positioning converters.

[fallen stirrup]

Good luck to everyone who asks when the next stage of testing begins when all resources are reset and we will start developing from the very beginning

[timber glacier]

It depends a bit on where your resource nodes are, so most lands are a bit different from one another when it comes to placements

Generally speaking you will want to try to place alternating fuel converters if they have to be withing range of other fuel converters, as the different types affect each other less than having two of the same type within range (i.e. It's better to place them on a pattern of Crypton/Hyperion/Solon/Crypton/...).

[warm coral]

I'm hear)

[copper inlet]

@warm coral so there is a few things you can do, build Power Stations around your converters

spread your converters apart (they interacting with eachother and lovering efficiency)

build your converters close to fuel sites specific to their fuel

[warm coral]

Okay, thanks) I thought the effectiveness depends only on raising the level))

How many levels are in the game?

[copper inlet]

depending on the building type, there is awesome website with tons of data
illuvitect .com/database

[warm coral]

Thank you. I asked about the game itself, but ok, maybe this information is there.

[copper inlet]

ohhhh, haha, i think unlimited xD

[azure bluff]

We still can't get blueprints and ceep them right?

[empty path]

Not yet

[mental anchor]

Let's go to the next phase. Delaying to gather more info for balancing doesn't make sense since:
1 - even low level land is at end game. You can't gather data when people aren't playing. There is nothing left to achieve (5 illuviums, 15 facts, 15 blueprints).
2 - 1/4 of my lands have almost twice as many resources than they should due to the bug where land was duplicated (and when fixed we kept all intentional and non-intentional resources). This means balancing data will be skewed towards dialling up the difficulty.

Unless they're working on new features, I don't get it.

[empty path]

Delay is for marketplace, so yes new feature

[mental anchor]

That's okay with me then! I thought Kieran's announcement was more suggesting that there was more balancing data to gather before going to the next phase

[civic cave]

Only Crypton will be used for fuel to travel across regions in open world, right?

[blissful storm]

Yup, i understood the delay was because they wanted to gether data on the marketplace before going for blueprints

[mental anchor]

Fair enough, I can deal with that. Although I think they could wipe now and allow us to gather blueprints for keeps. They could bring marketplace in an update later and still gather testing data

[shy pilot]

Is there a date announced for the launch of zero?

[viscid remnant]

We are looking for official communication on camera in the weekly videos they do. It doesn't have to be exact dates but development isn't just a complete roulette wheel. Timelines are possible. They can say we anticipate it taking 3 weeks but it could take as many as 10 if everything goes wrong. The things we need to do before we can release are blank, blank, and blank. We apologize for the delay and for giving false information, we thought this would work differently and just need more data on x or more time to complete y building interaction. Then if it gets done before 10 everyone is happy. It is like building a house, a good contractor will tell you a timeframe well beyond what they actually need and a price with buffer so that if it comes in less expensive or in less time you are satisfied but if things go wrong they have the built in buffer. Not wiping to test the marketplace is a bad reason for 2 main reasons. 1: everyone was expecting a wipe and just built a bunch of scanners and were testing their land so now I doubt many have incentive to go back and start over to test something they won't even be able to use until the second wipe and they get absolutely nothing from now. 2: it again delays something they put a timeframe to and can seemingly meet while still having months to test the marketplace leading to decreased trust in the project. If any previous crypto projects are proof, trust and transparency are key to breaking through in this arena. The team is doing a good job showing leaks and things they are working on randomly but then they miss dates and have 0 communication following for months in the case of the first release of IZ (to be fair they said "it is really close" for about 4 months) and now 3 weeks of 0 communication following the missed wipe. I'm not saying I don't appreciate the work they do or the product. But I am starting to build distrust and I am sure I am not the only one. I want success, therefore I am asking for transparency.

[desert tartan]

There should be an incentive for holding this land long enough so that delays will be accepted in peace.

[fair temple]

Land sale value was roughly 7M in Eth though. The sILV2 made up roughly 90% of all sale value. The sILV2 didnt add any value to the treasury so your 7M should divide by 10 :] still a healthy amount.

[left trellis]

Hey guys, is it possible to rotate buildings?

[empty path]

Not at this moment

[little moon]

Does anyone know how the Marketplace building works?

[tall crypt]

Well, they have told us that next week they will make a communication. Until then, reserve your strength to reply to what they say. Now you have a date on our agenda, resignation and wait.

[thin wolf]

---

Hey folks, sorry we haven't had clear updates, we are a little bit of an tuning point, I've transitioning out of working on Illuvium Zero other than providing technical oversight like I do on all of our projects, but Julien is still quite new, and I expect he is not quite sure on what level of detail should be shared.

Also keep in mind that the wider team has of course been focused on Beyond, particularly for the last few weeks.

@spring mist @cyan bone lets have a call early next week to discuss a regular dev update for Zero, as well as the specific case of an update for the Season 1 launch.

Without stealing Julien's thunder a brief status is:

1. Marketplace feature is done, pending me giving a final approval on balance (testing now).
2. Team has been getting a lot of stability and performance fixes in as well as some new art and effects.

I'm not going to add anything further on the date, but I will ensure Nick or Julien provides a clear (and more detailed) update early next week.

[covert siren]

Sounds good

[compact gate]

i feel the problem with illuvium is that they are working on 4 separate games and a lot of other money making nonsense at the same time instead of actually finishing one thing. i think this is why everything in this ecosphere seems all over the place including missed release dates in almost every game they are developing. imho it's a complete mess and it will bite them soon enough. you can put people off for a while, even people who have already invested a lot of money, but at some point they will expect a finished product or leave. i think if much more time is taken here, the game(s) will die before the mainstream even gets to see them. The ideas and what comes out in the end are not innovative enough to disappoint people.

[viscid remnant]

Thank you Johnny, This is exactly what we are asking for. We realize you are people and are working hard to get it done and we do appreciate the efforts and results. I think little things like this succinct update that shows the progress will go a long way to building trust and excitement in the project moving forward. We all want this to succeed and most of us have seen many failed projects, most of which hinged around transparency. I think the 5-10 minutes spent to update is worth 40 hours of work behind the scenes to the investors of the game. Thank you for your hard work and lets make this a habit!

[viscid remnant]

I can definitely see your viewpoint and agree that often times a finished product followed by another is the best way to build a game and audience as they love the first part then have continued bursts of excitement as new things release. I do think the other side can work as well if executed well which as you said has been a bit of a flop thus far. I will say when it comes out it is pretty polished and does look great which is a credit to the team. At least they don't delay and release something that looks super unfinished. Personally I think whichever route the take, communication is what matters. What Johnny just put is exactly what we need. People tend to get much less angry and distrustful when things don't go to plan but they receive clear, periodic updates on progress. The inverse happens when delays occur and everything is quiet. Especially in this space. I truly believe that with hard work and clear communication most problems are not only surmountable but insignificant.

[compact gate]

@viscid remnant "People tend to get much less angry and distrustful when things don't go to plan but they receive clear, periodic updates on progress. The inverse happens when delays occur and everything is quiet." i can only second that.
this is probably what happens to me 😄 i'm a bit mad about the whole delay. everyone in the web3 space talking about how everything will change for us players and it'll change the world etc. but in fact there are very few games out there at the moment that are finished and fun to play. illuvium shouldve been the trailblazer for web3 gaming, but i feel with that pace at the moment it wont happen

[viscid remnant]

I think a lot of people are haha Even the positive ones you can see the disappointment and anxiety in the last few weeks. I think if we can ask for what we want (reasonable requests), and the team listens (like Johnny just did), then progress will speed up and much less time will be taken fixing sentiment and focus can be spent building excitement (and the game). It is as much on us to communicate our sentiment as it is on the team. Communication goes both ways. We can ask for better and when we receive better we can thank them for it. The more voices speak their mind the better product we end up with and we all want the best at the end of the day.

[gusty void]

Also keep in mind that the wider team has of course been focused on Beyond, particularly for the last few weeks.

I think this is what people are annoyed about.

[amber atlas]

to be clear this isn't impacting the delivery, very few people are working on both projects (some art resources are shared ... and Nick), what it does mean is the updates haven't been as clear and frequent, and some decision making has taken a back seat

---

I'm actually a bit surprised there is so much concern, the game isn't changing, there's one new feature (Marketplace) that is new, everything else is bug and performance fixes

your play experience won't change much at all (other than being smoother due to bug fixes), and we will ensure there is plenty of time to get all the Blueprints for anyone logging in regularly

[gusty void]

Its not concern its boredom...

[amber atlas]

to be clear, I'm surprised, doesn't mean I am right... but my surprise is genuine

[compact gate]

yeah i feel you. we must be careful not to get into a negative spiral. i bet the devs aren't happy with delays either. but please stop pumping out NEW things now. finish what you already have. make the games playable and start onboarding players. we don't need more fancy shit right now.

[gusty void]

If the delays were hapoening during the next Stage it would be different as we get to keep blueprints so it would feel like we were acheiving something.

[fair temple]

You talk about a single new feature. Would this potentially be the last feature before open beta? Is Megacity too difficult due to performance issues of multiple plots showing on a single screen? 👀

Will await Nick and Julien perhaps 😛

[amber atlas]

I'm talking about Alpha Season 1

Megacities was never expected to drop during Alpha

there are few little things that have been discussed here that could come during Alpha (for example some way to get an extra builder)

[viscid remnant]

I think the concern stems from the past. The land sale to IZ release date was almost 6 months behind the schedule people thought it would be when they bought land and the communication was not great during that time. This delay without good communication brings up old feelings. I think land is fairly expensive for a lot of people it is a significant investment so when things go wrong it can be scary. Obviously people should not invest above their means but many do. I know from your point of view you see all the hard work going in but from the other side we just see a date missed and then silence. The crypto space has a bad reputation, and though it's not your fault I do think it plays a big role in how people think and act.

[amber atlas]

buso I wouldn't categorically say there are no new features during the Alpha Season 1

[amber atlas]

the explanations and details posted about that were fairly explicit (and well received)

there certainly wasn't silence

once I joined dev team to help out there were frequent (albeit not regular) updates

if you refer to the first few months after sale, then yes, agree

[fair temple]

Right. But since you were talking about concerns, i think most concern is around all the different games being built. Yes you wont make the game that much more intricate but you did overhaul the entire thing for 6 months.

How many features do you think will be necessary before the game is OK for Open beta? After all, this is gamified staking. As long as you get Fuel (since it is an investors game) does it really matter how intricate gameplay is?

[amber atlas]

Open Beta is about moving to server side and integrating with the economy/blockchain, I would say the only new feature that is a must is Megacities

[fair temple]

Dude. Then im pretty excited over here. Aside from balancing and figuring out the economy and backend stuff. If megacity integration may be the last piece... then we should be pretty close!

[amber atlas]

also I think you are wrong that is is an investor game, certainly as of right now there is a high investment barrier to entry (compared to most games), but people are spending a LOT of time on it, even without being able to earn, and presumably once earnings are there it will be even more play

[amber atlas]

the server side move is non trivial, it has to be absolutely rock solid in terms of security, resilience, and scalability

we certainly know exactly what we need to build, and our server side foundations are extremely strong, but its not something that we can rush

[viscid remnant]

The silence refers to the last 3 weeks. The 6 month period did have many leaks of things being made which was fantastic. What we heard from our end however was that it was getting close and coming soon for months but it was always just around the corner. You can review videos from august saying that IZ was close. If you watch scoriox videos there were months where he would say that he thought it would almost definitely release in the next month and that was in september on. He is very active and if he thought that then it shows a communication gap between team and players. That being said I do appreciate your involvement today and I think if we had even just small updates like the one you posted periodically, it would go a long way. I think at least once a week is fair, especially if a date was missed or pushed back without definite time frame. Again we all want the same thing and it is just a matter of communicating clearly and constructively with each other to get the ultimate best outcome.

[amber atlas]

sure I mean 3 weeks ago we said it would be after Beyond, so I don't know how much updates would have really meant, but agree that just the act of providing more details helps people feel confident in the work being done

[fair temple]

Well at least i now have a better idea of what to expect to change for Zero in the upcoming months. Not a lot other than backend server things that i am unfamiliar with! :]

I agree that the game is eating up a ton of time of some people. Definitely important to have them play something fun. But im glad that pvp in some galactic theme or such doesnt have to be implemented for the initial launch.

I am looking forward to what happens next! Please keep up the good work!

[amber atlas]

PvP of some kind would be super cool, but definitely not a requirement for Beta!

[fair temple]

Definitely super cool! Im curious as to how you guys will think up a fun way to integrate it into the economy 😉

[viscid remnant]

Absolutely, we really do appreciate the hard work and I think the crypto space has really set an uphill precedent for the game. However I think the team is doing a lot more right than wrong and I genuinely believe in the game. I do think the little things in this space will largely set Illuvium apart and lead to greater success for everyone! I am absolutely stoked for PVP and the IZ wipe. And thank you again for communicating and having such a cool head even amidst some negative feedback. I really respect you for this. You give Illuvium a good image and I think you are setting a good example for everyone else.

[amber atlas]

😊

[viscid remnant]

😁

[compact gate]

i got a gameplay question for IZ. i'm scanning with 4 100% scanners for about 5 weeks now and still only found one illuvial. i can't find info on youtube about this. do i only have bad luck or is there something you need to do to find more than one?

[amber atlas]

that definitely sounds like a bug

the last balance updates around scanners made cross region Illuvial chance around 4%

140 scans should be like 99.7% chance of finding at least one of the cross-region illuvials

[compact gate]

if i had to guess i probably have scanned between 120 to 150 times by now.

[amber atlas]

and around 80% chance of finding all

[compact gate]

ah well, i think i'll try it for a few more days then. thank you for the reply. thought i'd need something else but if it's just bad luck i can work with that

[amber atlas]

I mean its not impossible that you wouldn't find them at those odds, but getting pretty rare

unlike the person who pulled holo rhamphyre illuvitar in ~25 D1sks 😮

[compact gate]

thank you for your time!

[spring mist]

Just stepping in quickly as it's fairly late for me, but Johnny is right and we've been lacking on the communication aspect. We'll be discussing this with Nick and him this week and get much more regular updates. Expect much more details on what's happening!

[viscid remnant]

Thank you Julien!

[silent creek]

I know that this must be one of the most repeated questions here, but as I entered very recently I would like to know without interrupting too much of your time, this version will be reset completely when the game officially comes out and what will remain will be only the blueprints?

[obsidian patrol]

yes, you can keep the blueprints that you find during season 1, everything else gets reset

[silent creek]

there is still no estimated date for the end of season 1, right?

[obsidian patrol]

no, lets get a release date for season 1 first 🙂

[hollow shoal]

Guys I can’t wait to build for blueprints. Beyond has pushed my excitement even more. Soooooooooooon.

[open gulch]

Any leaks on when illuvium zero's gonna drop on the apple ecosystem?

[upper bramble]

Any landowners playing beta how many blueprints they finding in each plot ?

[river ingot]

I kinda gave up playing. I just wanted to learn the ropes. But after about 13 scans and still no illuvials found I stopped. I only scanned one out of like 30 scans.

[little moon]

Does anyone know how the marketplace building works?

[sage bough]

Also gave up but it was when the reset was delayed. Was kind of at end game already and didn't see any point in continuing to play until the reset.

[upper bramble]

you own land too?

[sweet needle]

Any updates about IZ? It's been more than 2 weeks since the supposed Season 1 delay?

[floral locust]

15

[floral locust]

We should get an update next week

[upper bramble]

you got 15 from which tier land

[floral locust]

you can get 3 each from 5 illuvials to be found. you can do it on any tier

[river ingot]

How else would I be playing?

[upper bramble]

lot of them got beta free access

[floral locust]

In this case you do need to own land right now in order to play

[upper bramble]

yes waiting to see how many of you able to get bluprints

[heady beacon]

Yay just got all my biodata

Only 3 blueprints to go

[daring token]

How much does land cost

[empty path]

You can check prices on the illuvidex

[gusty void]

12 Chickens..

[small wolf]

how does mega city would work? Does the land have to be side by side? 4 tiles?

2x2 ?

[empty path]

Correct, 2x2 or 3x3.

[small wolf]

can it be 3x1 like 1 on top in middle?

[empty path]

No

[small wolf]

ok so only square

is it woth of getting 4 tier 1 lands 🙂 ?

if i can get 2x2

or its only worth if there is tier 3 or tier 4 bonus boost (landmark)?

[waxen salmon]

You will get boost for 4 T1 land as well

[errant pollen]

Jonnhy said that 2x2 and 3x3 are confirmed but other shapes may come in the future

#🎮〕illuvium-zero message

Anything can change with an IIP. I can only work with the info that is confirmed now 😉

[odd bone]

Hello any chance to get zero on iPhone?

[empty path]

Apple does not allow NFT games at this moment. You'll be able to play on browser version in the future.

[odd bone]

I know in other nft projects they have done test app on iPhone. They run for a month and then need reinstall… why this is not applicable here?

[lunar wraith]

What is the stage at the moment

Alpha test? All data will be wiped out soon???

[floral locust]

Hoping crypto people with iPhones start boycotting apple lol

[floral locust]

we are in alpha s0, will be wiped soon and start s1

[open gulch]

Even biodata?

[lunar wraith]

My biodata and research too??

[copper inlet]

everything will be wiped

[floral locust]

@lunar wraith yes everything will be wiped, you will get to keep blueprints in the new season

[open gulch]

so there's currently no reason to play other than experiencing the game and getting the hang of it?

[random siren]

Correct

[open gulch]

sad, especially since they havent dropped the actual data wipe date right?

[balmy ruin]

When alpha one???

Is anything at all known or rumoured as to how much an extra worker will cost in open beta?

[empty path]

Don't think so

at these levels it will be very useful, not to be waiting 12-24 hours on only one building upgrade

Waiting News about alpha…. 🥹🥹🥹

[whole spear]

Will give what updates I can this week

[wicked horizon]

just want to know how slow im going compared to the rest of yall, im on level 750 and just snagged my 5th and final biodata...

[paper vessel]

Level 107 and no scanner yet...

I am worried more about more land delution... is my land gonna be 5x less worth?

I feel for those who spent 25k on land, knowing it's about 10k now... I prefer a vote to only make it to 50k lands and (maybe) give the current owners of those 50k the option for the other 50k at a hugely discounted price, and let us decide if it's gonna end up 100k land pieces (meaning we ALL bought the second right for land) or if only 20% do so, we got 60k land...

[tropic saddle]

New land is way, way out, let’s focus on a game first

[paper vessel]

@tropic saddle well the team is working on THREE games at once

[amber atlas]

land sale dates will be decided by council with community consultation, I don't expect there to be a sale until the game is ready for open launch

maybe if the game is ready there is one sale directly before open launch, not sure, again it is up to council

[random siren]

I hope we don't do another land sale until fuel demand is there

[amber atlas]

we will provide council all the data we can and I'm sure council will appropriately take in to account all factors (how's that for a political reply 🙂 )

[random siren]

Let's just say this all council members own land.

[marble raft]

Why the game keeps resetting if I login to different computers

[random siren]

Bug

[fervent rampart]

so what's new in Illuvium World that us land owners need to be excited about?

[random siren]

Earlier next week we should get an update on wipe so we can start keeping our blueprints we find

[marble raft]

Hmm how about rank and them fix different logins

[random siren]

Rank? Bug fixes will be in next update

[pseudo pulsar]

they are saying distances will make a time differences for sending and reserving over all the lands ...

[vivid cipher]

I’m glad you are back

[marble raft]

Yes rank for land developers

[dire pier]

2k teaser sale wouldnt be terrible.. and i do hold way too much land

Rather than a full 20k

English auction, start bids 15% below current floor, if no sale back to vault

[marble raft]

How much land do you hold

[hollow shoal]

Never enough

[vivid cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-a-little-personal-personal-owned-private-confidential-gif-15663818

[pseudo pulsar]

One t1 so far looking for more t1s

[random warren]

will the T5 sales be anytime soon?

[marble raft]

Lol nope

[lyric hamlet]

Wouldn't be surprised if they do another sell. Noticing a pattern of money over community

[amber rune]

ok ok first blueprint? Can I create a skin now?

[random siren]

blueprints are not real atm. just testing. season 1 is coming soon though and they will be able to be kept

[vapid quartz]

Whats the estimate on how long Season 1 will last?

[low quiver]

Until open beta seems like, which we dont have a timeline for

[dark zephyr]

is there an earn mechanic yet

[vivid cipher]

not yet. See below for some more info

[lethal wyvern]

How long is the alpha testing for Illuvium: Zero expected to last?

The alpha testing for Illuvium: Zero is expected to be split into two seasons.

We are currently in Season 0. At the end of this season, all data, including blueprints, will be wiped and reset. The purpose of Season 0 is to allow the development team to fix bugs and balance issues and to prevent any issues that may arise if player data needs to be reset before moving on to Season 1.

After Season 0, the game will move on to Season 1, which will last until the open beta stage. Another data reset is expected at the end of Season 1. However, players will be able to mint the blueprints they researched as NFTs during the last few months of Season 1. Those minted NFTs will persist beyond the Alpha data reset and can be used to craft skins in the Overworld once we reach the Open Beta.

More information on the minting windows will be provided as the game approaches the open beta stage.

[fervent rampart]

tRUE update on wipe and then the next time we play everyone is fighting for blueprints.

[fervent rampart]

Thanks for the attachment

[rocky hornet]

Selling 2 of my T2 lands, and buying a T3, feels like having multiple lands will be super time consuming. Thoughts?

[timber glacier]

Well, at least for the first week or three. Once you're up to 8h+ build timers or have most buildings on high level it's really not that time consuming.

[amber rune]

is there anypoint in building a marketplace?

during Alpha?

[empty path]

Not at this moment, in the next update it should be possible to use it.

[empty path]

https://tenor.com/view/illuvium-illuviumio-ilv-yield-farming-gif-22225026

[pseudo pulsar]

Are t2 that much better then t1 I know t2 has 33.33 % increase dos it add up ?

[slim wigeon]

@amber atlas
If you find some time I have some questions about builders:

-Will we be able to buy builders with coins after next reset to test the speed and if yes can we keep them after the final wipe?

-Will we need to buy the builders for each plot

-Will the transaction be on layer 2 IMX ETH and Moonpay or simply with credit card?

-Will you write the IIP for the builder pricing?

Thank you for all the work hope you were able to take a little break before the next race!

[amber atlas]

no builder buying in Alpha as yet, we might introduce some progress related builder (like an extra builder at level XXX)

if we monetise the Alpha it would need IIP and community discussion

definitely not available at start of Season 1... and given most of the building happens at the start I'm not sure buyable builders would make sense for Alpha Season 1

[tidal badger]

Clearing plants give 0-4, random.

[lapis gulch]

With the IBG idea, shouldn't we have use of illuvials inside Zero? Maybe you need those on the holo statue?
This is a oversimplified example, but I think we should try and put them in a meaningful way.
This way f2p players can use our OW assets and be monetized in that way as well.

[thin wolf]

Trust me Johnny, if we can buy builders with Silv2 or Eth.we will be buying builders with Silv2 and Eth.

And plants, we can buy plants.

[ivory bough]

Yeah, I guess at this point I need more builders than fuels 😄 I happily give them up for builders haha

[amber atlas]

post in ideas thread maybe, see what the general consensus is? its not going to make the very start of the season but if it was an 'extra builder' NFT it might be something that could be added pretty quickly

[ivory bough]

That's great Johnny. For example, on my land, every resource and fuel is almost at maxed storage and it took me a week to upgrade one Lab. Meanwhile, I couldn't really play for a week. Will there be activities added so ppl can still engage with the game when waiting for massive upgrades? (having more builders aside)

[rotund forum]

I think that comment is unfair. And after all it is the Dao, thus the community (since we vote for our representatives in the DAO) who make these decisions. The idea of for example channeling funds from illuvitars sale to have more runway was chosen by the mayority of us... because if there is no money there is no gaming studio, there is no you and me in the community. I think they are very transparent and fair in handling the funds.

[rotund forum]

oh hadn´t thought of that, great idea... it is true... when you hit 4 digits levels it really starts to slow down, and I think people would gladly pay for having some extra building power at that stage

[amber atlas]

the plan is to add lots more to do but focus is on getting the Open Beta out with the current feature set, the only feature major thats planned for Open Beta is mega-cities

[fair temple]

I think the team knows that their community is flat broke by now lol no more sales will help. We got nothing left.

[rotund forum]

I heard you will be able to buy fertilizer for the plants! Captured in overworld 😝 Nice to see also seeying elements from the other games being brought back to IZ

[ivory bough]

Ah gottcha. So for those with one land or no Meg Cities, they have to make do for now until after the open beta.

[rotund forum]

btw, I saw on tokentrove some megacities available. There are some 4x4 for about 6 eth... and there is one 3x3 but that guy is completely nuts... I think it costs over 100 eth

[fair temple]

A 4x4? For 6 eth? Nah that cant be right

[rotund forum]

I paid 10 🙈 but it included a T3

these are all one T2 and rest T1

[fair temple]

No i mean 16 plots of land, 4x4 for 6 eth is super cheap. Cant imagine it being like that.
10 eth for a 2x2 is not bad 🙂

[slim wigeon]

for a 2x2 or a 3x3

10 ETH for a 3x3 is impossible

[rotund forum]

oh crap I meant 2x2 🙈

[empty path]

Baited by Garf

[thin wolf]

Really?dont play with me.

[rotund forum]

4x4 isn´t even being considered right now. And I think it would become too hard also... there would be like 2 guys out there having that... not worth it for developing.

[fair temple]

Those morphopods they were testing could be found in the overeorld and would function as mulch in one of your buildings.

[rotund forum]

yes, it are bugs that you can capture in overworld and sell as fertilizer in IZ. Grant showed a video of the development.

[thin wolf]

Yeah, but was it confirmed to be used as fertilizer?

[rotund forum]

he said fertilizer for plants... so probably throw some on empty squares for having more than 2 plants a day

[fair temple]

I only heard them talking about the fertilizer in a building. Nothing about plants.

But it is a logical next step

[rotund forum]

IZ on fertilizer 😅 🔥

I´ll look it up the video and exact time

[mystic forum]

guys, will illuvium beyond help landowners earn anything??

or is it purely from fuel sales only

[fair temple]

Fuel sales and scanning - blueprint sales.

[empty path]

[mystic forum]

so it does have an earning mechanism for landowners to benefit from illu beyond

[empty path]

No

[fair temple]

But the album can potentially be expanded to give extra benefits. but nothing of the sort was shared yet 🙂

Currently there is no correlation between illuvium beyond and Illuvium zero.

[mystic forum]

i see. so the only main benefit i see is by printing blueprints and "hoping" someone buys it

[fair temple]

"Printing" blueprints?
No you would research a blueprint and then print some skins.
Getting a blueprint isnt easy at all.

[rotund forum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GheLy4dYpG8 at 12:25 he says use it as compost for the plants that spawn

[tulip perch]

my land probably looks infest'd by now not touch'd it since the iluvitars sale start'd it wil need weeding for sure

[fair temple]

Thanks Medivh!!

[rotund forum]

With that I completely agree. But tbh I think they always hinted at that, that first land owners should be able to achieve their ROI before second 20k plots are sold. Kieran said open beta mid 2023... him being always a bit too optimistic and certainly there will be some delays; my bet would be September. Then about 6 months to actually build up your city to maximum potential... and then actually farming a few months at max efficiency.. I don´t think we will see another land sale until mid 2024. With the sales of illuvitars the team now has runway for another year or two... if they need more funds all they have to do is launch open beta within that runway. No hurry to sell more land.

[vivid cipher]

They’ve also got plans for the plants to spawn small and grow larger over time. And I imagine compost would speed up the growth process.

[rotund forum]

If open beta is out before Christmas I am satisfied. But if it comes out in July-August 23 I´ll be extremely happy 🤞🏻

I have been talking to my tax administrator and he cringed when he saw all the illuvitars movements in ImmutableX. So regarding IZ he actually advised me not to sell fuel every day, but rather to accumulate and sell maybe once a month... or every two weeks at most, as ImmutableX is quite limited in providing extensive tax extracts, and a lot needs to be done manually. So my plan is to indeed build at least 8 fuel storage's for each type, that being 16.000 units per fuel at max level (on a T4), I think that will be enough to accumulate for at least 2 weeks, or maybe even a month. Ofcourse even doing that you´ll have to search those moments when demand is highest... so selling every 1st of the month is definitely no good option... will need to be flexible on the one side but try to not make too many sells on the other. (No tax advise btw... every country has different rules of course).

[potent dock]

I've heard of min-maxing but never of tax-maxing

(OFC this all makes sense, just funny to optimize around both production and administrative tax burden)

[rotund forum]

I just only now realised I have promised family and friends to be scholars... it´s going to be a mess 🙈 .

Only thing that occurs to me is to put their lands in different metamask wallets... and just give them the email and password to enter but not the metamask password. That way they can play, but not sell... and me selling it every now and then. And pay them their %.... the tax guy is not going to like that either 😝

I think the scholarship (or whatever word they prefer to use) would in fact be better, as I won´t be paying someone directly... just obtaining less % than 100%. At least I think ... we´ll see how they construct it... and I´ll just have to ask them to refrain from selling more than 2-3 times a month. Ok, I´ll stop with the boring tax talk now 😅

[burnt stirrup]

thats interesting I hope you will keep us updated how it works out with the tax on this. In which country?

[gusty fractal]

with the sales of illuvatars the team '' now'' have around 1 month of runway...not 1 or 2 years

[rotund forum]

true, Kieran said with 15M$ it would be about 2 years runway. No idea how much they sold that was not sILV2.

we can´t see how many are being sold now, no? And neither if they are paid with eth or silv2

I think UAE doesn´t charge income or property tax. They are fine with all the people just spending their dough on the economy.

[burnt stirrup]

yea but I don't know if every country handles tax the same way for nfts

[rotund forum]

I think so too... although you had to invest first in metaverse land, you are now minting something that does not cost you anything. But the difference in what you pay in tax per country differs greatly.

Anguilla, Brunei, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Qatar, Vanuatu, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Western Sahara, Bermuda, Maldives, Somalia, British Virgin Islands, Monaco, Turks and Caicos to be exact 😝

If you look at Spain there is upto 26% income tax, and upto 3,5% property tax. It´s neighbouring country Portugal has 0% (on crypto during a period of 10 years, extendable) and no property tax. I find these differences quite bizar.

Yes, no need to talk any further. You´re f***ed 😝

On the bright side... I think it is quite unlikely that Biden will be able to run again... I think actually DeSantis makes a pretty decent chance in 2024, and he is quite pro-crypto... so you never know

[rotund forum]

it will depend on every country but usually each movement whenever you made gains.

Tax stuff is interesting, but #1023650034593570917 is probably a better place for it. Keep in mind that you should consult a professional for any tax advice, rules vary from place to place and "I heard it on the internet" is not usually sufficient 😛

[rotund forum]

one positive news that brightened my day was that the team will try to add megacities in open beta launch. That is pretty exciting... I thought it would be a 2025+ thing 👌🏻

btw, has anyone ever found a decent land planner? I tried using excel but ... no... not very ideal for that I would say.

yeah, the first month or so is pretty intensive, then it slows down.

[timber glacier]

Illuvitect?

[rotund forum]

oh cool, I´ll check that out.

I have only 2 scanners, and 5 databanks. And it took a lot of days to get that 5th one... I thought something was wrong but just 2 days ago I finally got it... now all 5 databanks researching

so it could indeed be that it is because of the databanks. How many you have?

o sorry, I have 5 material labs and 3 databanks in total. Building them close to another does increase their efficiency

so maybe try expanding that by one or two

yeah, I am not certain either it is the problem or just bad luck but can´t hurt trying

[spring mist]

Just wanted to reiterate that we're currently discussing on a correct format for more frequent and regular updates from the dev team for the community. I should have more info for you amazing folks pretty soon!

[thin wolf]

[spring mist]

more this week, but no later than wednesday I'd say, the australians are asleep at the moment and I need their go 🙂

[thin wolf]

Yeag, that's one I am really looking forward to.

[slate merlin]

Thanks Julien, it’s great to have you here in channel sharing with us!

Not to go off topic again, but there are many agencies that can help you with that. I can´t paste the link I wanted to here. www.globalcitizensolutions.com/nhr-portugal-tax-regime/

[blissful storm]

Thanks for the info. That's NHR and as far as I know no 0% on crypto 🙂

[rotund forum]

Exemption on all foreign income. I don´t know about IZ but most crypto interest generating platforms are abroad. But anyway, not to piss of the moderator, let´s not continue the topic (here at least).

[rotund forum]

last message; tried to DM you but it didn´t let me. Forget my earlier remark, as of 2023 you pay 15% on income and property regarding crypto. I knew the EU was whining about Portugal being a tax paradise... apparently they finally bend over this year. Glad I didn´t move there 🙈

I have been getting a weird error, but only lately; when the materials lab is done investigating you click it and it just disappears. And it is not that you did not find any facts or blueprints.. the level progress bar doesn´t move at all either. It seems to just be lost

Illuvium Zero Tech Update [03/06 - 03/10]

As promised, here are some updates from the IZ tech team:

• The team has been hard at work making sure that the marketplace is a fun new feature for everyone. The main bulk of the work has been mostly on having an awesome UI to browse and create offers, but also time spent on rebalancing the converter nerf we've previously shipped. This took us a while to get right, but we're pretty confident with the end result. Lower tier lands now have an alternative to get resources for which they don't have sites!
• We've got a bunch of new VFX that look amazing!
• We've made a big performance pass, so you should expect faster loading times for all platforms, and way less GPU usage on computers in particular.
• There is also an amazing network stability pass to ensure that you don't lose recent progress.
• We're also shipping a bunch of gameplay and UI fixes! This should all be detailed in the patch notes, but you should see less discrepancies in resource collection rewards in particular.

We're planning on having these updates on the discord channel more regularly. We're making a conscious effort on more transparency as we've been really silent for the past three weeks, and we fully get that this creates frustration in the community. Hope this helps alleviate some concerns, and we'll be back soon with a release date for v0.1.4!

[plucky temple]

when is the reset happening?

[barren bolt]

Hi team 🙂 I hope everyone is doing well and increasing their stock of blueprints ^^
I have a problem, 1 time out of 2 when I launch and validate the actions of my converter / material labs / scan etc... When I come back to the game nothing has actually been launched and so I find myself having waited the indicated time for nothing...

I just did the test with the material lab, I launch them all, disconnect the plots, leave the game. When I turn it back on, the research has not been launched... HELP

[frail seal]

Thank you for taking the time to give us an update. Marketplace resource trading feature looking sick

[marsh frigate]

Big thanks for the update! Constant communication will go a long way for sure.

[quasi horizon]

When is the reset scheduled.. Its been delayed right?

[pseudo pulsar]

next week i bet reset !

[warped glade]

is it possible to play on a mac?

[vivid cipher]

Yes. Here’s how to open it up. #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[random siren]

anyone know if IMX will ever have token swaping?

[vivid cipher]

I certainly think that is the plan. Illuvium will need that for fuel tokens.

There are technically other ways to make it work. But that is certainly the plan

[fervent rampart]

Yeah that is true. Is the reset going to suddenly happen soon?

It would kind of suck to suddenly log on and your map is wiped without you knowing.

[vivid cipher]

They usually announce stuff in advance.

[fervent rampart]

But would it be like a 3 day warning or we would have a week to prepare.

[pseudo pulsar]

Probably 3 to 7 day head's up its all about progress

[jovial valley]

yes, i play it on the mac. you should go to your security settings and there you can allow illuvium to be installed

[open gulch]

Crossing fingers for data wipe announcement 🤞

[warped glade]

Why does it take 24 hrs to get only 2 crypton? So we will have to farm every day for a full month just to do an OW run?

[pseudo pulsar]

@warped glade upgrades to your mine also converters will add up ...

[random siren]

no, but there is not much info on how long you will have to farm to get a run worth of fuel. I dont think anything is balanced yet

[ivory shell]

When is the next time land is going to be sold?

[floral locust]

Nothing is set in stone but probably after open beta launch and there is demand

[finite zealot]

No date for the wipe/start?

[quick crater]

Thank you for the update @spring mist and @amber atlas , any news on when the restart is happening?

[vapid lantern]

Hi, been away for a while. Are we currently in the phase where any blueprints discovered will be kept after the wipe?

[pseudo pulsar]

@vapid lantern about 4 to 5 months out I'd say ..

Wipe is due maybe anew beginning few days

Good to see some Tech Update from the team Thank team Doing great 😄

[amber atlas]

After the next release we will be ready for Alpha Season 1, but we will give some time for Marketplace testing to ensure no undetected issues.

After that the season will start. We don't have an exact date but it is imminent, I think the build is going to UAT in a few days.

Blueprints discovered in Season 1 will be mintable.

The actual minting feature won't be available for the entire period, there will be a Minting Window of some weeks (probably 2-4) where you can mint your Blueprints, that window will be at the end of Season 1.

[thin wolf]

What happens if you find all the blueprints on one land and you move it to a different wallet or you sell it.will you still be able to mint the BP? And is it per account or per plot?

[amber atlas]

Each land plot can only mint (each blueprint) once during Alpha Season 1

I'd say its safest not to move the asset, but if you did you would either need to move it back to mint, or also get all the blueprints in the second wallet

but only one would be able to mint all Blueprints

(technically its possible to mint some blueprints on one wallet and some on another, as long as they don't overlap, i.e. dont mind the same BP from the same land)

We'll include these details (written a little more succintly) in the Season launch notes

[thin wolf]

Thank you

[amber atlas]

its easier (at least for me) to understand it this way, technically there is a table that has data something like:

-------------------------------------------------------
|Land Plot ID   | Blueprint ID    | Minted Token ID   |
-------------------------------------------------------
| 123           | 1               | 456               |
| 123           | 3               | 458               |
| 789           | 1               | 999               |
-------------------------------------------------------

the code says something like: if (BlueprintMintData.Exists(LandPlotId,BlueprintId)) FailValidation();

[fervent rampart]

hey hey

[amber atlas]

Just to be clear that means if you mint Blueprints and then sell your land the buyer wont be able to build up the plot and mint the Blueprints also. Thats the main reason the Minting window will be short and at the end of the Season. By the time you mint there won't be enough time for the buyer to get Blueprints.

(This constraint does not apply in Open Beta)

[blissful storm]

Hi Johnny, does this mean we won't have test the marketplace before we get the reset for Alpha Season 1 as that's what it looked like when the reset was pushed back

[amber atlas]

sorry you are right, the plan was to have the wipe a few days after the next version for exactly that reason

let me update my note (edit: done)

[blissful storm]

No worries. To be honest, if it's just a couple of days it might be fine. What I think it would be painful is if we had to test marketplace for like weeks before the reset 😄

[amber atlas]

I haven't been building this version but as I understand it all the features for Season 1 are ready in this version

@spring mist @cyan bone can correct me if I am wrong

(I'll ping Julien direct to confirm when he gets online)

[inland smelt]

"login failed" when trying to login, anyone ?

[amber atlas]

I mean the balance may not be perfect, but basically all it does (in Alpha) is makes it a easier to exchange one resource type for another, mainly to help those with unbalanced plots, I can't see what would be gained by weeks of testing

[waxen salmon]

I need to make sure I have at least 2 weeks of for Illuvium zero Alpha season 1 lunch 😄

[blissful storm]

Agreed. Thanks for the update!

[spring mist]

You are right sir

[barren lotus]

are we already server side authoritative? or we still have to transition?

[amber atlas]

that is the main piece of work to be done between now and Open Beta

server in Alpha (including Season 1) only logs actions it is not authoritative

[atomic nexus]

When wiped out of Alpha zero?

[split root]

hi

when does alpha phase 1 start ?

[empty path]

Date has not been announced yet

Not announced

Wooot i heard this week, i guess the digital hallways echo the wrong info.

How to report a Bug?

Illuvium: Zero does not have an in-game reporting system

If you encounter any issues while playing Illuvium: Zero, we encourage you to submit a request through our online support portal: http://link.illuvium.io/bug. This is the best way to report bugs, as it allows us to track and address issues more efficiently.

[little moon]

Hi, does anyone know why I can't find more than 3 facts for each biodata? I have 4 labs (stage 2 to 4) and 3 data banks.

[slate merlin]

There are only 3 facts in the current build, later there will be 5.

[ivory bough]

3 Facts for each Illuvial is max atm

[little moon]

thank you!!

[little moon]

thank you!

[timber sapphire]

Wasnt it 5?

[ivory bough]

it was. New patch brought it to 3.

[weary bluff]

any news bout ilvz?

whens reset

[hoary forge]

#🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[weary bluff]

so no news

ty

[loud gazelle]

When is wipe?

[vivid cipher]

[timber sapphire]

This update is already out? Also why is this not in announcements?

[hoary forge]

It's not out yet. It's only news about the development. To the release.
There is a announced coming wen they are ready.

[timber sapphire]

Hmm only being able to mint last few weeks of season 1 kinda sucks too

[floral locust]

Curious why you think that sucks? we won't be able to do anything with them until OW launches

Which would coincide with end of S1

[timber sapphire]

Resell if you have a rare, now that i think about it they are all the same rarity tho

[thin wolf]

It's to avoid people minting and then move the plot out and start farming for more BP

[timber sapphire]

Yeah oke makes sense

[flat steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-serious-face-gif-20100355

[compact gate]

Can you explain that a little? I don't understand what "move the plot out" means.

[thin wolf]

If you send it to another adress and make a new account to farm BP on a seperate account.

[compact gate]

This would only work in alpha because of limited possible illuvials/bps right?

[amber atlas]

#🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[open gulch]

Does this mean there's a limited amount of BP per land?

Or am i just missing something

[lyric hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

[amber atlas]

in Alpha there are a limited number of Blueprints and each land can only mint each one once (regardless of owner)

[open gulch]

Ooo thats cool

[lyric hamlet]

Wen S1?

[open gulch]

Are they any special? Or any different from other blueprints? Just like how illuvitars can be marked as alpha

[mental anchor]

is it the same 15 blueprints that were available from the private alpha? any more being released?

[terse sable]

How do you get more than 1 Illuvial in your biodata? I have 3 lands with 1 different illuvial in each land. It seems rare that a few people have more than 1 illuvial in their biodata for a single parcel of land... One person even had 5 illuvials.... Is that possible?

[vivid cipher]

It is possible. It is just statistically difficult.

[vivid cipher]

make this game great by having ranks and rewards otherwise is not exciting

Make seasons leaderboard

[cyan bone]

Seasonal Ladders has been discussed

[mossy sorrel]

does this mean that after the official release, each blueprint will be able to produce more than 1 of the same blueprint?

[vivid cipher]

Blueprints would not produce more blueprints.

[mossy sorrel]

sorry, i meant each plot would be able to produce more blueprints?

more of the same blueprint

[lunar wraith]

I got biodata and facts. How can I make blueprint out of it

[vivid cipher]

Keep doing research

[lunar wraith]

Only research sir??

Ok sir

[naive owl]

When season 1?

No date yet. But check the pins.

[sharp mulch]

How to get high rez of the illuvitar?

[native hatch]

is anyone else IlV Zero not loading

[unkempt socket]

Today is THE day

[spring mist]

the progress update is already up, release is in the works, no hard date set yet 🙂 #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[sharp elk]

Yeah I was just wondering about that.

[unkempt socket]

OOOOOOOOO…k，so finally weeks becomes month.

once again

[ivory bough]

It is loading for me. On Mac

[sharp mulch]

Loading? What do you mean?

[ivory bough]

The member said it is not loading. Works fine for me.

[ivory bough]

Ahhhh sorry wrong ping 😄

I mistakenly pinged you haha

[sharp mulch]

Ah no... What I mean is getting the high rez photo of your illuvitar so I can make good art with it

atleast png of every accessories and the illuvitars

[ivory bough]

Hmmm, well, I guess you can ask that in #🎮〕illuvium-beyond to see if someone has done it. I think whatever is possible it's through IlluviDEX

[sharp mulch]

So I could adjust the glass some of them look whack too big on my lynx

[sharp mulch]

No body answered beyond

[ivory bough]

@whole spear is there any way members can have access to high quality pics of Illuvitars?

Unrelated but if the community wants teasers and memes, I'm trying to post more regularly on twitter https://twitter.com/JIlluvium
This includes some more insight on day to day operations from the devteam and might be of interest!

[thin wolf]

Yes to insight on day to day basis,maybe see what the team plays against eachother during lunch break😃

[spring mist]

atm it's a lot of IZ v0.1.4, getting it neatly packaged for public release 😌

[thin wolf]

We like neatly packaging😀cant wait to play it.
Is the marketplace meant to come online late game or is it something we can build early on?

[tough forge]

Guys, hey.

I'm playing in the alpha version of illuvium zero, will my progress be saved or will everything be reset after the release? I have several lands, does it make sense to engage in pumping each?

[spring mist]

we definitely want it to be early game so that coalitions, guilds and multiple plot owners can speed it up! The building itself will also be available way sooner on 0.1.4 release 🙂

[lyric lodge]

It will all be wiped soon ....after that you can collect blueprints

[lyric lodge]

What's the update on season 1...it's been over a month since it was pushed back ?

[odd halo]

my client seems to be stuck for 2hours now on "authenticating credentials ...", restarted multiple times, i dunno if im the only one to have this issue but i'll try and reinstall it, just in case

[odd halo]

nope, still doesnt work :/ I cleared the content of LocalLow/Illuvium, i reinstalled, nothing; The Player.log file does not contain any relevant information either.

[spring mist]

We're focusing on 0.1.4 release at the moment, but as soon as it goes live, we'll have a much clearer roadmap to communicate with everyone.
Just to recap, we want to test marketplace before season 1, so 0.1.4 will give the go to push forward.

[spring mist]

Can you file a bug report? We'll investigate ASAP

[odd halo]

Sure i just found the related URL, i'll do it right away, thanks !

[empty path]

Oh that's good to know, did not know this

[spring mist]

It's the main reason for the pushback, we wanted to have the marketplace in top form to test before we enter season 1 and reset!

We'll communicate better on this in the future

[lyric lodge]

Ok but when will we be ablet to collect blue prints ..cheers

[rich venture]

can someone send a timeline of Illuvium Zero for the next months?

[molten girder]

was

[marble raft]

Lol

[whole spear]

We will have a better picture once v0.1.4 is out

[fluid eagle]

This huge delay after month of waiting for alpha makes me upset..

And the explanation for it " to get the marketplace going" makes it worth. It was unseeabel that IZ needs a marketplace....

[bright cypress]

hello!
does the type of land affects on how many illuvials one can get?

[empty path]

No, your land produces fuel to travel in the overworld. You do not find illuvials on your land.
You can find biodata and blueprints

[bright cypress]

oh yes that's what i meant my bad

does the type of land affects on how many biodata one can get?

i got 3 biodata at the moment and it's been quite some time since i got my last biodata

[opal thistle]

Not how many but the type of biodata you can get

[bright cypress]

I'm planning to upgrade my scanners

[bright cypress]

oh so there's that

[opal thistle]

If the land is of higher tiers then you will have more resources to scan and research (so it will be faster)

[bright cypress]

so i have a land with the green one called brightland or something and my biodatas are archie, atlas and kukka

i got the same biodatas on my 4 plot

[opal thistle]

This is an alpha season one the first beta test for lands, right now there is not much to go by for this rule until the public release

[bright cypress]

oh okay, thanks for the time

[opal thistle]

Read the messages pinned to this channel, there is really good information in it

[bright cypress]

oh yes I'm actually looking for some infos thanks a lot

it doesnt work for me, and it makes no sense, unless different DNS are configured (which i also tried)

[pliant sun]

I install to my PC and when i use the game the fun on the CPU not GPU is on max is it normal? Also i try on android tablet and when is trying to open my land closes without any working...

[odd halo]

Maybe developpers should add a tickbox in the settings to "enable debug" log level, I submitted a bug report but i have almost nothing to provide to help the troubleshooting process. And my issue is not the only one which would benefit from such a feature.

[wary notch]

Hey @spring mist do you think the next version will have a setting to lower graphics quality for lower end PCs/phones?

[spring mist]

the GPU consumption is fixed in 0.1.4, but we are looking at adding graphics quality options in the next one! Performance is definitely important for us, and we've been optimizing a whole lot of stuff, including visual quality, loading times and overheating issues. You should notice a nice performance bump with 0.1.4 but we plan to go further

[spring mist]

Cc @pliant sun next update shouldn't use your GPU so much

[wary notch]

Nice to know since you're getting those VFX in, I hope my Android doesn't explode before open beta 😂

you will be generating Fuel needed in Overworld, and you will be able to find blueprints/skins

when?

[frosty lagoon]

any updates on alpha launch?

[marble raft]

How profitable is that ? Have play axies homeland ? I like the completions set up

[copper inlet]

we have no idea yet, its all connected to how many players will pley other games and how much fuel they are going to use

[marble raft]

Yeah development of their land should be incentivized

[barren bolt]

The differents Blueprints in ILL zero will be saleable?

[hollow shoal]

I’d say post this in ideas. Get some people to back in and maybe we can get it to the council. Otherwise we have many incentives for land already with many more in the pipeline. The compost buildings or mechanic should be interesting. How many lands do you have currently?

[copper inlet]

yes, but not the one that you have right now, there will be total wipe of data soon, and after that, all blueprints you find you will be able to sell (but mint will happen few weeks before official launch)

[barren bolt]

Yes of course ^^ Thank you for these details

I am looking to buy another T1 plot, for solon harvesting, what basic resources do I need to run the solon extractor?

[timber glacier]

Silicon

[barren bolt]

I was hoping it would be Hydrogen xD

[short thicket]

why of them all would you chose solon?

[barren bolt]

No particular reason, I try to take another Plot with a different Fuel than what I already have on my other Plot ^^ and then not knowing the resource needed to Extract solon, I optimize my purchase ^^

I have T2 land ant was wondering how many Scanners, Zero Point Transducers, Data Banks and Material Labs I should build to have the most effient land I can have? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will the Free to Play land be eligible for BPs as well?

No, that would significantly increase the # of them past the amount of plots available #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

uninstall and download the newest update

maybe idk just a guess lol

[ocean hollow]

when is illuvium zero going live (can keep all rewards/fuel)

wont be till game launch. they are aiming for june-august.

but there will be a wipe soon where you get to keep your blueprints you find until game launch

[vapid quartz]

two more days until D4 open beta!

I found a bug while undergoing alpha testing, I noticed that when converting Solon to crypton, nothing happened, I just burned out Solon. And then passively once every two days, these assets also do not appear

[vivid cipher]

Do you have over 100% efficiency on your converter?

[tough forge]

Yes, it is completely over and nothing happened, it is also written that they passively generate one crypton every 2 days, nothing happened for more than two days

[vivid cipher]

Yeah that is a known bug.

[amber rune]

how many facts can you have per Illivium? also how many blueprint variations can you have?

can you get more than one blueprint??

per illivium?

[wise flume]

Agree with @orchid isle

Allow T0 land to produce a few of their own, unique, free T0 blueprints

[small star]

Build f2p only buildings and mechanics.

Nothing wrong extending the f2p experience and make more game oriented capabilities and let aside the investors.

[open gulch]

I'd have to disagree with that. T1 price floor is 500-600$, the entire point of buying T1 is being able to farm fuel and biodata for the cheapest there is, feels counter intuitive to allow any players to also contribute to biodata stocks. Especially since any player could use a T0, even if there's 20k lands, there could be 100k T0. Personally, I don't think making T0 be any lucrative is a good idea, the whole point of plots are being pretty expensive with a chance of money back. Whereas T0 would just flunk that.

[sharp elk]

Playing T0 lands is purely for fun. If people want to earn money they need to invest money first. Ponzi economics of Axie and the Axie clones is not sustainable. It doesn't matter how small you make the earning, it's just a bad idea.

One thing i was wondering about is whether there needs to be more use for elements in late game. Once your land is fully established it seems like there really is very little value in extracting elements any more. A small amount is used for scanners and fuel extractors, but much less than was previously needed to upgrade buildings. Should there be something new for 'late game' that uses up relatively large amounts of elements?

[slim wigeon]

Totally agree on elements. But we should not forget with more builders it might be well balanced. I also think scanning in higher stages is more expensive, is it?

[brisk stump]

Thanks a lot !! you rock !!

too bad i can't log in ILV0 ... i m still stuck with this

well ... it's bad ... i can log in illuvium . io access to my profile etc ... but when i try to log in ILV0 it says wrong password .. update in the french chanel there is someone who get the same error

[trim otter]

Right now we are using so little on the scanners because we have been keeping them at Tier1. I’m sure someone has upgraded theirs but I would like to see how much elements(and probably fuel) it takes to scan and research Tier 5

[odd halo]

same issue for many people here, including me, im glad i still can play on my mobile phone, but it's not as user friendly as a desktop client

[brisk stump]

ok thanks 🙂

[fickle goblet]

Remembered this – were you able to get a satisfying answer?

[dire pier]

Why do we care about f2p

[oak solstice]

Because if the implementation is done correctly then f2p will use microtransactions and bring more revenue to the DAO.

[dire pier]

I like that answer, but makes balance difficult.. will need to be an entirely different ecosystem than p2p land.. just not sure about the market here, its like play money poker but you can pay to for more chips but cant cash out? Or pay for an avatar that only works in play money land?

Just seems like a waste of resources.. it sounds nice to think this game will be huge but the better approach will be to target ppl already onboarded to crypto who know nft's etc and know 500 for a basic land isnt silly.. all 'mass' gamers will think thats ridiculous and appealing to them is a pain .. yes the model works for mobile gaming but this is different

[cosmic spade]

hi, when will ilz on IOS available?

[empty path]

Apple does not allow crypto games on the app store at the moment. There should be the option to play in browser before open beta.

[dire pier]

My point is why would anyone pay for microtransactions in the freeplay version of a game whose biggest marketing factor is come build a city and make money doing it

[cosmic spade]

thanks for the answer, browser would be ok

[dire pier]

Must have some good answers by now

Illuvium overworld can onboard the masses, ilv zero might trick a few into making bad financial decisions by spending money on the free/demo version... just this whole side economy thing doesnt make any sense... sure have a free version but dont waste team resources vs getting the real game out

If the only argument is microtransactions for free players, im having trouble seeing who pays for anything in the demo/f2p version.. but maybe they do.. getting them into the pay version should be the goal though.. maybe letting them use receipts of spent f2p micros as coupons for the real game

Only non babble i said in all these text walls is last sentence there

OW mobile is coming and asking ilv zero to fill its shoes is probably too much

Just figured out you want play to earn.. coupon for playing.. doesnt work man

[lavish creek]

Gn all! Once you've research and have all the blue prints what are people's next goal while we wait for next stage?

Is it worthwhile building the Zero Point Transducer or maximising the upgrade of each building?

[tall bear]

about anyone who ever payed microtransactions for building games existing on smartphone, for the fun to play a building game

[dire pier]

Agree, and giving them a coupon to spend in the real game would help onboard them too

50% of all f2p microtrans usable as a coupon in real game, something like that

[sharp elk]

There is no practical difference between playing a T0 land and playing a web 2 game.

If ILZ tier zero is fun to play, then people will play it without needing or expecting any financial rewards.
If it isn’t, they won’t.

Why do people pay for micro transactions in web 2 games?
Answer that question and you have the answer to what is needed for micro transactions in ILZ tier 0.

Web 3 gaming was: join the Ponzi scheme early, use poor people to generate profits, get out before it all collapses. Money for nothing.

Web 3 gaming will be: spend money to earn and own things in game, that you can later sell to other people for real money.

For tier 0 to earn things that have real monetary value, there needs to be an upfront investment cost.
So it would be tier 0.5, rather than tier 0. I doubt the team or the council has a desire to spend time creating a 0.5 tier land category right now.

[oak solstice]

I never personally spent money in any mobile game i played because i knew going in there would be mechanics that were trying to entice me but I just wanted something to play to kill time on my phone.

But I also understand that a ton of people that play city builder games get impatient with waiting for anything and spend the $1.99 x number of times to get to keep playing rather than waiting.

As @sharp elk said, IZ f2p should just be a f2p web2 version of IZ. They could advertise daily microtransaction deals, like most games do, but also have advertisements for floor land plots and Overworld.

[thorny osprey]

Hi, I want to ask about zero.
I don’t have BPs..I’m researching now…

1. Simply Difference between f2p and non f2p is making money or not is it correct?

2. BPs is like armor, weapon we can use in overworld?

3. f2p player and non f2p player can use each BPs in overworld?
   (Different is selling or not)

[woeful gate]

Is the marketplace update and alpha season 1 dropping this year?

[empty path]

Yes

[woeful gate]

before q4?

[empty path]

That's the plan afaik

You can find the updates in the pinned messages

[woeful gate]

nice! I'll believe it when I see it tho 😄

yeah... they updated 1 month ago that it would be already out by now 😄

[empty path]

I know, I was here

[woeful gate]

I wish I wasn't 😄

starting to be annoying ngl

[spring mist]

There will be a post mortem on why the delay happened and was so important, most of it stems from me coming into the team recently. Rest assured that this extra time was spent making the game the best it can be. And this is not a blank promise, this is something that we intend to show very soon.

Taking notes on the debates on f2p, the team will be delighted to hear about your ideas. It's important for us to have your constructive feedback on these systems!

Thanks

[bronze prairie]

I would like to express my displeasure with the delay from IZ! For a very long time, nothing was said about it and the focus was put on beyond, which has no purpose in entertainment except for the team to earn millions. Okay, make millions, but go back to where you started!

https://tenor.com/view/danger-alert-siren-alarm-red-light-gif-16931369

@bronze prairie it's a big dow it all has to come together in a big way I believe..

[bronze prairie]

Okay, but keep us informed. It's been almost a month and no word about IZ

[spring mist]

Just to reiterate, the delay had nothing to do with Beyond, both teams are separate. Concerning communication, I am taking over and making sure it is more regular and precise. As for the delay itself, as I mentioned above, a post mortem will explain the situation.

[spring mist]

check pinned messages, there was a progress update on monday, and these are to become regular

[bronze prairie]

oke, ty

[thorny osprey]

We aim to AAA game or money game?

[thorny osprey]

Clear in JP site, thank you.

[pseudo pulsar]

@bronze prairie I noticed if you follow a few ilv influencers they fill you in on updates alot ...

[potent dock]

Ideally, those two things go hand in hand. Making a high quality game that people want to play will generate revenue, if monetized appropriately.

It doesn't have to be an "or" scenario.

[jovial valley]

I'm confused.... Has been season 1 delayed again ?

[copper inlet]

we never got a release date of season 1 after last delay, so technically we are "still" delayed

This is the latest update. TL;DR: Finish internal testing -> Release marketplace -> Test marketplace -> Alpha S1

[empty path]

What are you talking about? There are no hammers in IZ

[ebon kite]

help? I use a homecomputer and a laptop to play IZ. Why wont my laptop update changes i made on my desktop?

[thorny osprey]

Many talk about money or not.
Of course, it is important. However AAA game is “playful” （including verious meaning: system, story, visual, character) at first. And it’s game is global or not at second.
“Playful” “global” collect player who don’t mind “earn” or not.
They earn money in arena competitions or something else, not from plot.
Then there is one problem.
“If differences between f2p and T1 is only selling or not”
I think f2p has big advantage over T1 land.

@potent dock

[potent dock]

The difference between F2P and T1+ plots is that T1+ produce blockchain assets (Blueprints/Fuel) that can be sold. So you're correct on that front.

I'm not sure how that puts F2P plots at an advantage though.

[thorny osprey]

T1 puts at advantage as “ make money”
f2p puts at advantage as” play game”
Is it correct?

[potent dock]

Data in IL:Z is stored locally, and periodically pushed to the server. There's been a few issues where data from one client doesn't get pushed to the server, hopefully it gets a pass in the next update.

As far as things you could do now, make sure your clients are both updated (on desktop and laptop), and log out of the game when you're finished a session. Remaining logged in seems to be a big cause of progress not being saved across clients.

[potent dock]

I suppose you could view it that way. F2P plots are currently the equivalent of T2, in terms of the number of resource sites and the production capacity of plot. They are "better" than T1 for making faster progress playing the game.

With the caveat that they don't produce blockchain assets.

[covert siren]

Someone know when this Week anouncement for IZ

[thorny osprey]

Yes, I know that.
In illuvium the way for earning is from plot?
Maybe not. administer think other way: representative.. competition.

[potent dock]

Just for Illuvium: Zero, the way to earn is to own a plot of land.

In the larger Illuvium ecosystem, there are many potential ways to earn.

[thorny osprey]

I think zero is not single game(I know zero links with overworld）and main game is overworld.
Zero is like sub-element of overworld.
Normal player think “main” is overworld. “Sub” is zero.
So, to strengthen character in overworld they play zero.

（Link system is very playful and interesting point）

[potent dock]

Treating alpha games as finished products, on different platforms, is not necessarily a great way to do analysis.

At a core level, I do agree. I've given my thoughts on potential solutions to this a fair bit. I'd like the economic end-game for land owners to be aligned with the end-game for F2P players, and I think there are valid ways to accomplish that goal.

On the other hand, I acknowledge that IL:Z is under development. It is not a finished game, and the systems are still being worked on. It's also not a full fledged PC game, it's a mobile game. It's not gonna be Age of Empires.

[thorny osprey]

Extremely, Who play for make money from plot play only zero.
But for who enjoy overworld eagerly and make money not from plot but arena competition or something （I don’t know ）, t1 land is less worth than f2p.

[potent dock]

That makes more sense. I just mean to point out that most gaming companies do not hold public alpha tests, and it's precisely because people typically aren't willing to acknowledge that it's an alpha test. It's important to be mindful of the fact that IL:Z is still pretty early. I agree that some things still need work, but I also completely expect that out of an an alpha test. It's normal.

I'd posit that you'd probably find a number of issues if you'd played Forge of Empires' alpha tests.

Not that I'm familiar with that game in particular.

Just as an idea to align "F2P" (i.e. non-land owners) incentives with land owners incentives: #1023650034593570917 message

[cerulean steppe]

Can we agree that IL:Z and Overworld need some time to become competitive with Web 2 games, but Arena and the Illuvials will be top notch soon? If so, then we should not worry too much as long as both IL:Z and Overworld allow for catching Illuvials. I believe we can generate huge demand for Illuvials from collectors and from esport gamers with Arena.

[potent dock]

Content comes with time too. I'll point out that literally every PvE city builder I've played has a cap on content though. There's only so much content that can be provided in PvE games in the genre. I've played a lot of complicated PvE city/base builders, and some of them get close to 1k hours of content, but those are super complicated, deep base builders for PC, and aren't widely adopted because they are NOT easy to play. They are something I enjoy, but not something I'd want the DAO to develop.

Even if they'd purchased the upgrades to their plots in Fuel?

[cerulean steppe]

There are discussions about this. #1057838756704563292 message

[potent dock]

I'll also note that this is just an idea. There are other ideas out there too. I just particularly like aligning the end-game incentives for F2P players and land owners. Developing 2 games within a single game to cater to 2 demographics who don't have aligned incentives sounds really messy to me, and a lot of the suggestions have been around developing a separate end-game for F2P players. At that point, I honestly think just making a different game would be better.

Doing one thing really well >>> doing 2 things ok. Like you said, games need to stand out, particularly games in a relatively diluted market. If our hook is ownership, we should lean into that. If it's a better F2P end-game, we should lean into that. Either way, we should lean instead of spreading things out.

[brisk stump]

i just want to say i m pretty disappointed that i can't log in ILV0 with desktop ... and no pinned message on this bug that many are encounting right now ... it seems nobody is on this and nobody cares about this and well ... it doesn't matter cause nobody still playing ILV0 ...

[cerulean steppe]

It might be a dilution, but if we grow the player base by making millions land owners and increase the fuel percentage for OG holders, you might make more money from your land.

[potent dock]

#❓❗〕community-help is a good place to post if you're having issues logging in.

The base of the argument is that 5% of 100k is less than 4% of millions. I see your point though, and there are probably solutions to the problem (could be something like 1% of revenue going to the F2P plots, on top of the existing 5% for land owners).

Adoption has always been absolutely critical with the way the tokenomics are set up (both for land owners and ILV holders) - Pursuing mass adoption is something both groups should advocate for.

[cerulean steppe]

I fully agree. I see so many community members thinking about how to increase their income. It is fair, because we all bought Illuvium assets and want a return. But for that to happen we need mass adoption and a DAO with enough runway for years.

[warped glade]

I feel like allowing f2p players to wager elements in arena would be a great hook for them. But i know there were issues around legality for wagers

[exotic ibex]

Are we ever going to be able to play zero on a iPhone ?

You can try this for the short term, it's pretty nifty. Longer term, I believe the plan is to have a Web based version available for iOS. #🎨〕community-content message

[tropic saddle]

Someday, need Apple to allow NFT games first

[cerulean steppe]

Because it would make the industrial city builder a real economic experience for everyone and not just a simulation like all other web 2 city builders before.

[dire pier]

100% this, f2p dgaf about selling fuel vs getting microtransactions or skins or whatever

[cerulean steppe]

This is what differentiates a metaverse from a web 2 game.

The promise won‘t help you much if nobody wants the fuel you produce. To put it bluntly.

[dire pier]

what you're saying makes sense gerber its just wrong lol

[cerulean steppe]

What is wrong?

[dire pier]

fuel isnt the thing to be giving to f2p but absolutely agree on diverting money, possibly from fuel, to get f2p involved

[tropic saddle]

Agreed

[potent dock]

Fuel doesn't have to be the solution. It's just my preference to leverage ownership as the hook without entirely redesigning the game for F2P players. Currently the things you can own are Blueprints and Fuel, within IL:Z. There could be more things players can own.

There have also been suggestions around things like Soulbound NFTs for F2P players, etc. I'm of the opinion that people won't particularly care about those things - They are almost entirely analagous to web2 structures, where you don't really have ownership.

This also comes down to whether the intent is for IL:Z to fulfill its' necessary role in the Illuvium ecosystem, or whether the goal is for it to be mass adopted. It would be great if it could do both, but it doesn't need to do both. I'm also okay with IL:Z primarily being for landowners. That's an acceptable solution as well. It can still be a fun experience for that subset of people, but we should acknowledge that the subset we're talking about is capped at 100k (and likely less than that, because the reality is that many people own multiple plots).

[dire pier]

also agree on you saying the need to be closer to metaverse gaming than mobile, and that bringing f2p into the meta-economy is important.. but handing out money via fuel doesnt gameify anything

[potent dock]

The discussion was never around "giving" people things. The discussion was around allowing non-land owners to incrementally purchase a plot that produces assets (as opposed to an upfront purchase of a plot). People are much more capable and willing to spend small amounts over time than spend a large amount upfront.

It wouldn't be "giving", it would just be incremental ownership.

You know I'm pretty strictly opposed to free lunches, but we should keep an open mind with regards to how people actually spend money in mobile games.

[dire pier]

explain then because im missing something

[potent dock]

It's pretty long, but we were talking about the implications of this idea: #1023650034593570917 message

FWIW the pricing I listed there is just for example purposes, obviously it would need a more data driven approach. A tangent to that idea is that the total production of "Upgraded" plots could come out of the existing supply of land. For example, reduce the supply of land by 20k or 40k, assign that production to "Upgraded" plots, and treat it distributively.

That causes adjacency issues in the overall land map, which is why I didn't suggest it. But it does fulfill the requirement that land owners aren't negatively impacted over the long term, in terms of adding Fuel production outside of what 100k plots could produce.

[dire pier]

I read through it blickter. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't but it seems like a step in the wrong direction as soon as F2P and P2P are sharing the same playing field. Meaning integrated maps.. f2p and p2p sharing same economy

Like hamster said, they will be frustrated.. ppl hate whales in mobile games, they'd hate seeing the massive whales in ILV. just keep the player pools segregated. No one understands the economics and trying to make a complicated system to bring them in just doesn't work, its attacking the issue in the wrong direction

[cerulean steppe]

I am sure Aaron is already looking at increasing the number of land plots, he has alluded to it. Let‘s see what he cooks up.

[dire pier]

a free world in an alternate dimension sounds really fun.. i did read yours right though, blickter? that its a solution to find a way to get F2P into the P2P system?

[potent dock]

Yeah, it's a way to leverage the idea of ownership so that non-land owners (not really F2P as it would require paying) can experience ownership as well, on a reduced scale.

[dire pier]

I see where it works though, giving them a goal of the 20 upgrades.. but then they are only a t1? and t1's can't compete anyway, just sounds super frustrating

if they work their ass off and get into the real game and still produce slowly? or after 20 upgrades they do compete with t2's? they are paying for the upgrades to become a t1.. each upgrade would need to be 1/20th of t1 floor.. still a lot to ask for f2p

[potent dock]

I just reckon that someone who had spent $200 over the course of 6 months would be much more intrigued by the premise of ownership, and probably more likely to participate in other ownership (whether that be T1+ land, or assets in Oveworld etc.)

All the tuning would have to be determined post-launch, it would be super important to get that part right, and I couldn't say either way exactly how much would be the right amounts (both in terms of cost to fully upgrade, and final production values when fully upgraded).

I'm kind of viewing as normie accessible mobile gateway ownership. It's not hugely impactful (nor should it be), but it's still AN ownership experience.

You actually get something for what you pay, which is fundamentally different than existing titles.

[dire pier]

what i do like is f2p gets to keep their progress, which is everything metaverse stands for.. and they get value on their money spent in the same way a coupon on f2p microtransactions toward P2P would work.. no coupon needed, they just become p2p

[vapid quartz]

[cerulean steppe]

Just wait and see and don‘t be so pessimistic. Aaron has always considered all aspects of a problem and has come up with good solutions.

[dire pier]

so far less complicated than my idea

and gives them a goal to shoot for

but once they whaled it up in f2p land, wouldn't they be happier in f2p? its the sociology problem, only as happy as you are relative to neighbors wealth

so f2p is a separate dimension, they get the 20 upgrades, they now start contributing fuel the same way p2p would.. i can see that working, i was thinking they become t1 land but thats not what youre saying

[potent dock]

Yeah it would kind of be a T0.5 or whatever other catchier name would be more appealing.

[dire pier]

and that also lets them get involved in the marketplace.. at some point f2p land becomes p2p land.. sounds awesome

[potent dock]

Yeah exactly

Importantly, it would allow for the end-game incentives for non-land owners to be aligned with land owners, the game is fundamentally the same game for both demographics at end-game.

Values are different, but goals are the same.

[dire pier]

by land i mean the entire map.. after some time its filled with a greater percentage of lands that are now p2p and starts functioning just like the p2p dimension

[dire pier]

perfect, just needs to be advertised carefully

[cerulean steppe]

And land ownership makes them invested in Illuvium for the long term. You don‘t sell it as easily as a few tokens of ILV. Both from an emotional and a financial viewpoint.

[potent dock]

Yeah definitely, and none of it has been vetted by the team. There are likely issues from a tech perspective, and there's the issue that fractional land would cause with the overall land map. I like the core idea though, to allow onboarding into ownership in a less expensive way. That was many people's issue (mine included) with things like Axie, and likely with land as well, for people who aren't actively involved in crypto. Hundreds or thousands of dollars of upfront cost to participate is a barrier that we could overcome with IL:Z.

People are provably down with $10 MTX though.

[dire pier]

i think you have to do it as alternate dimension, the fractional land/finding way to integrate into existing map isnt necessary

[cerulean steppe]

And they produce fuel, which they can use in our other games and automatically opens up the whole Illuvium metaverse for them and it is money easily spent, because they „printed“ it.

[dire pier]

argument simply, f2p whales shouldnt share fences with p2p whales.. its a whole different dynamic.. from the dopamine/satisfaction standpoint, if someone is going to whale their time/money into a game, they need to see the results by looking around the map and leaderboards and see they are doing much better than the populace

just seems easier too. make a new map, fill it with all t0's, give a path toward becoming a t4

[potent dock]

Yeah exactly, and if someone really wants to whale, well, there's land for sale on the Illuvidex. I think you're right that not integrating it into the overall land map is the correct choice.

[dire pier]

yep and if you want to skip all that go buy a t4, but its a different map

the "skip" isnt skip the work, its skip the work and microtransactions that equate to a floor t4 or however you end up fractionalizing the fuel output

the economics there are easy, but necessary

just as long as this doesnt become a sneaky play to earn mechanic it sounds good to me

subsidizing a p2e economy sounds ok, but gets complicated.. deflating land prices by giving a path toward becoming a t4 through pure work isn't okay unless clear future growth economics necessitate it.. i just dont see it.. get away from the ponzi imo

if people pay an amount through microtransactions that is equivalent to what someone would pay for a real land/fuel output, then it works

as long as kept as separate dimension, otherwise you deflate land prices

can't just become a real t4 unless you go out and buy a t4

[floral locust]

Interesting idea. I like this incremental purchase hook for F2P, and the idea of this creating more players, and aligning the direction of the game vs creating 2 separate end games. I would like to see it have it's own % set aside though to honor the 5% promised to P2P plots. also for lore reasons seems they would need a separate map not exist and pop up next to P2P plots

[dire pier]

1% set aside probably does it, and allows for microtransactions to be 1/20th of actual land prices.. which is reasonable too

ilv zero keeps its 5%, the 1% comes from token

[brisk stump]

thx i will

[floral locust]

Over the long run the token will have so many revenue options coming in, vs land is fixed at 5% and unlikely to change so adding a sperate small percentage to this would make sense vs making the current lands fixed pie smaller. the adoption gained and other revenue sources over the long run seems to me like a small percent set aside to this would not even register

[potent dock]

Yeah, it kind of splits the difference for the greater good as well. More players = good for everyone. Additional source of Fuel production = small negative for land owners. Small % of revenue diverted from ILV holders = small negative for ILV holders. Overall positive for everyone.

At any rate, this is just an idea, and likely needs to be fleshed out more. Glad to have a conversation about it though!

[floral locust]

Yea agreed, open discussion of ideas is always beneficial. I'm still super keen to know what Aaron's idea is that he keeps saying everyone internally thinks he's crazy 😂

[tall crypt]

Sorry but it's a shame, i have lost 2-3 level per constructions, all my ressources, all my fuel.. Be careful the save it's not done correctly.. Sorry but buy a land for 600 dollars for play a game which doesn't save the game it's a real problem.. Someone have the same problem?..

[fiery scaffold]

Thanks man, I'll try to look for that. I don't have enough liquid for tier 2 atm unfortunately

[terse sable]

Can you help me understand how to build the ability to get all 5 biodata to get the 5 illuvial types of bluepritns since most of us only get 1 type illuvial per land?

[graceful vector]

There is a small percentage chance of getting a cross regional illuvial on any plot. Earlier on I think the drop rates were higher and they are tweaking the algorithm for scanning cross regional illuvials (That's what Alpha is for, right?).

[hollow shoal]

I am truly hoping they announce something in showcase later today.

[fiery scaffold]

I bought one plot, but there is 2 showing in Illuvium Zero. Why is that?

[dry mango]

your plot and one f2p plot

[fiery scaffold]

can you get rewards from your f2p plot?

anyways if interested, let me know. Cheers

[vivid cipher]

The game is in alpha and is being built still. This issue is known by the team and is getting worked on.

[lyric hamlet]

What's the difference between the people coffeezilla expose and illuvium?

Everyday that passes is a slap in the face to investors for this project

[lilac gazelle]

I understand but i was level 80 and now i am level 40 it's very frutated after several week of game. So for everyone don't play too much before the problem fix because I wish no one this happens to you

[vivid cipher]

Are you aware that everyone will be reset to level 0 at the start of season 1?

[lethal wyvern]

How long is the alpha testing for Illuvium: Zero expected to last?

The alpha testing for Illuvium: Zero is expected to be split into two seasons.

We are currently in Season 0. At the end of this season, all data, including blueprints, will be wiped and reset. The purpose of Season 0 is to allow the development team to fix bugs and balance issues and to prevent any issues that may arise if player data needs to be reset before moving on to Season 1.

After Season 0, the game will move on to Season 1, which will last until the open beta stage. Another data reset is expected at the end of Season 1. However, players will be able to mint the blueprints they researched as NFTs during the last few months of Season 1. Those minted NFTs will persist beyond the Alpha data reset and can be used to craft skins in the Overworld once we reach the Open Beta.

More information on the minting windows will be provided as the game approaches the open beta stage.

[lilac gazelle]

No and all the fuel you are minted is reset too?

[vivid cipher]

Nothing is being minted right now. It’s just testing right now.

[lyric hamlet]

In other words, he is saying stop playing. It's a waste of time

[vivid cipher]

I certainly don’t grind it very hard. But I do like practicing better collecting and building patterns.

[lilac gazelle]

Ok great.. It's probably my fault for not being aware but for me it's a lot of wasted time.. so I would restart the game when we have passed this period..
thanks for the support though

[vivid cipher]

It’s alpha testing. So yeah we experience bugs and report them so the team can build a game that is not broken. We test out game loops and give feedback so the team can build a game we enjoy.

It is definitely a practice round for the real thing.

[lilac gazelle]

i understand but i have never seen anywhere that all the land will be reset! it's maybe my fault but certainly other people here play with hope to accumulate fuel for the future seasons

And practise during several week for lost all it's complicated

anyway thank you all for your support see you soon

[vivid cipher]

It might be a good idea to have some info on the download page or something

[lilac gazelle]

yes please because for me it's not clear at all.. But it's not change my idea this game is the future and i will continu to play it when the zero season will be past

[vivid cipher]

Well the faq does cover it. But maybe something more blatant.

[amber atlas]

Its been in several news articles, email blast, and regularly mentioned here, including the very frequently shared timeline image. The website where the download is also says: "This Alpha includes a fully functioning version of Illuvium: Zero, without permanent progress connected to the blockchain.", right next to where it says that is the FAQ button which explains details of resets.

[vivid cipher]

Oh wait. This is right under the download link

[lilac gazelle]

Ok certainly it's just my fault but just i hope nobody play with hope to progress the game

[amber atlas]

maybe a disclaimer in the game would be nice

( @spring mist )

[lilac gazelle]

because when you are in game you have no notification of that

[amber atlas]

yep, can understand how it is missed if you aren't actively following

[mortal thicket]

I didn't know that the data was reset either. I'm not a native English speaker so I missed it!🤣

[lilac gazelle]

Sorry for my nervousness, it's mainly for the community and that no one finds themselves in the same situation of incomprehension as me

See you soon on the game! Thanks again for this great support!

[amber atlas]

I don't know if we will be able to get this disclaimer in for Season 1 reset, I believe we have a final build ready, and even though the change would be tiny, it would mean going back through QA... but we can add it it for the next reset when we move to the Open Beta.

[vapid quartz]

sure, np. Process was just do normal city building until you had enough resources to build scanners. Then just build 8-10 scanners in a ring around the edge of the city to prevent interfering with each other and reducing the efficiency. Then just had them all running all the time until the 5 biodata was acquired. Then strategy flipped to getting the blueprints. So scrap the scanners, to make room for just building 20-30 of the Material Labs. Put them around a power station and make a nice ring of roads around them to reduce the research time and then just have them all churning out research as much as possible and eventually you get them all. Im not saying its easy, but if you focus your build strategy, its doable without too much pain. Good luck.

sorry guys, for tier 3 landmarks halogenic geode=lake, primeval marsh=outcrop and eternal spring=crystal, correct?

[floral locust]

close! eternal spring= lake, halogenic geode= silicon

[nocturne tangle]

thank you

[rotund forum]

For all those who were not aware it will be reset (not once but twice until open beta)… this is a game but you paid for your landplot, so it is an investment above all. And if you invest in something do you not try to learn all you can about it? Besides, The resets were not exactly the small print… it was mentioned everywhere many many times.

[violet pendant]

Fact

I can’t be the only one who played without using the freeplot 😭 Idek how to access my free plot that’s insane…

Also can’t be the only to realize that ain even in alpha

I’ll see myself out 🚶‍♂️

[timber sapphire]

Wen marketplace update?

[rotund reef]

Just to be clear (I asked before, but wasn't very clear) -- After the wipe, will the F2P parcel generate BPs, or can I leave it alone?

[random siren]

f2p wont generate blueprints you get to keep

[fervent rampart]

Need to pay taxes soon!

[pseudo pulsar]

ltb t1 ?

[chilly ravine]

How many blueprints in Season One are possible?

[random warren]

any news about T5 land sale?
would be a good backup to fill the safety pool for the team if Illuvitars doesn't?
would MUCH rather that than another land sale - which hurts those of us holding since land sale

[wary prism]

They are still playable plots and can still generate fuel, so it makes sense to me if they are sold just before open beta.

[nova epoch]

gm @empty path @copper inlet

the bp update is not included in 1.4. right?

[empty path]

No

[weary bluff]

so this is just patch, right? no reset of lands

[empty path]

Correct

[rare stream]

This is not not season 1 where will the awards be, is it later?

[empty path]

No, this is to test the marketplace.

[rare stream]

ok,thx, when will season 1 start? Do you have information?

[empty path]

All information will be posted and pinned in this channel.

[rare stream]

Thank you, I'm going to build

[slender heath]

The bugs that get reported the most get fixed first.

For me it's there

So yes, report it so the team can find out what is happening

This is a beta test to find bugs.

You find bug, you report bug

[cursive mirage]

The bug exists just through cross version harvest after claiming the first time it works. Imo

[tropic stratus]

Has any MAC users been able to upload ILLuvium Zero? I get the folowing error every time:

[cursive mirage]

@amber atlas Does that mean my offer (bottom) was accepted automatically, because it doesn't appear in the uplink offers?

[empty path]

Yes, I am playing on Mac.

[tropic stratus]

IlluviumZero_MAC_v0.1.4_Proudctionbuild_PROD"cant be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software.

[empty path]

Yes, you have to approve it in system settings

privacy tab

scroll down and click open

[gray stream]

In my opinion in this tab asking and offering should swap places. I can see that you want to say one slot offers this and wants that for it but since I am the buyer here I see it as I want something (which should stand on the right) and I am willing to give something (standing on the left).
At the moment both tabs (uplink and my offers) use the viewpoint of the seller which makes perfectly sense under "my offers" because I am the seller but in the "uplink offers" tab I am the buyer and therefor I would like to see the trading out of the buyers perspective under that tab.

[civic girder]

So there no wipe??,, is these the stage now where we keep the blueprint we find?

Oh ya,, nice add the market place 😁 thx

[cursive mirage]

The button is now visible, but the convert doesn't collect. Does it retain the conversion rate for you?

It depends on how far is the other plot away you trade with.

[rancid lion]

especially since this is meant to be for early game to help balance unbalanced plots where actions can take minutes
transit time maybe should scale with amount of resources being transported. makes sense, it's a lot easier to courier one little envelope than an entire train's worth of cargo

[cursive mirage]

This happens with small volume

[rancid lion]

biggest problem with transport time depending on distance right now is the UI gives you no indication the time differs based on distance, and doesn't tell you how far each plot is.

and how are you even getting fuel in offers? I can only select elements

[empty path]

I think you gotta upgrade your marketplace

[cursive mirage]

You have to upgrade it

[rancid lion]

uh I'd love to

[empty path]

Can't upgrade when building is busy

Probably accepted a trade?

[rancid lion]

yeah was trying to test it... now I can't do anything for 2 days, nice

flips table and goes back to other plot

[empty path]

Poor table

[thin wolf]

Thank you ser for your sacrifice I will now upgrade before using🤭

[weary bluff]

wtf is this

several days for trading resources 😄

[river ingot]

why is it so hard to find where to download the update lol

[empty path]

The link is posted in the #📣〕announcements it takes you straight to the screen where you have the download button. Can't be that hard?

[weary bluff]

it certainly defeats the purpose of market

[river ingot]

I always go straight to the website and start looking for some reason

[weary bluff]

why would i wanna wait 1 week when i can harvest twice as much in a week

[rancid lion]

that's where I go... play.illuvium.io and then "Illuvium Zero" and then Download

[river ingot]

found it, thank you
