So travel curing crafting bonding, etc.

#

Yes

#

Land players get that share

polar yacht
#

although, land owners are also most likely stakers

mortal merlin
#

Thus giving the lands a use case and a value

#

owning the means of production is chad

amber atlas
#

Every fungible item in the game can be thought of as currency: ores, gems, hyperinos, etc

We could say you mine ETH, and make a sword by combining ETH with ETH

But assuming that swords stats are fixed for each sword of a similar type, it is also effectively fungible token as well, so we might as well use ETH to craft ETH and equip ETH to fight a creature


Reductio ad absurdum in effect here, but the point is, it is the act of creating these constructs that wrap the currency that gives the game flavour

grizzled helm
limpid pendant
# mortal merlin Yes

Ok this is good, thanks for stepping me through. This is how I'm rationalising the comparison now

ETH in-game currency:

  1. Stakers get 100% revenue
  2. No purpose for Land
  3. Players subject to currency volatility
  4. No monetary policy management

Fuel in-game currency:

  1. Stakers get 95% revenue
  2. Land has value as an ETH-generating asset
  3. Players have no currency volatiltiy on the basis the DAO can stabilise price
  4. Additional monetary policy management
  5. Allows for further expansion

ILV stable coin?

polar yacht
#

if in game costs/fees denominated in USD then why not a pegged stable coin

#

gameification of a stable coin yield farm producing fuel

limpid pendant
mortal merlin
#

Its gamification yes

#

So that land owners can control a little bit of supply and demand

#

But way less volatile still compared to eth and ILV

slate goblet
#

is there any article explaining what benefits land owners will have?

polar yacht
#

I've been toying with this idea of gamification of defi in the sense of a visual game UI.

I wished we had more information on land productions to be able to understand the value of each level 1-5 + some idea of range of prices for the auction. Need some time to plan and set cash$ aside or get some sILV ....

polar yacht
#

there is actually a decent amount of info out there now. have you scrolled through pinned comments and read the GDD yet?

small star
#

The gdd dont allow you to understand what "low production" means and put a value on it XD

polar yacht
#

i dont know this to be a fact, but i assume either hard numbers have not been defined yet or have not been released

mortal merlin
#

Numbers are going to come before land sale.

polar yacht
#

i had a similar question, is it better to just own multiple lower tier plots or fewer high tier. i bet many people may lean toward more lower tier

#

since land space is an issue to be able to maximize game play, tech trees etc

small star
#

Thanks @mortal merlin

small star
#

It's going to be interesting to see how it evolve and what people prefer. Going for lower level of lands to build a mega-city or go all-in in a higher level hoping to maximize production

limpid pendant
# mortal merlin Yep you got it

This is thinking a few steps ahead now but do you any concern about assets in new mini-games (not IZ) that would have productive assets and require a further tax be taken from in-game ETH. For example, currently 5% to land owners, 95% to ILV stakers and moving to 5% land owners, 5% asset owners in new mini-game and 90% to stakers?

limpid pendant
#

Just a further clarification on the above, so does that mean that revenue back to the ILV staker is not realised when the player actually makes the purchase of in-game products but when the player purchases FUEL?

Since IIP 10 was voted 5 days ago, does this mean that we should’ve already started counting down on the timeline of expected release date?

@ivory vine now that the project is validated, you should build a quick FAQ on the website along the existing one, and refer to it. Could help you I think

So one thing I was wondering today: We know the first land sale will be 20k lands. 1) there was talk of a discount for the first land sale, I assume that idea's gone now that we're doing a Dutch auction? and 2) do we know if there will be another sale before the mini game goes live, or if you want to play IZ from day one as a non free to play player, you need to buy one of those initial 20k lands?

amber atlas
#

the goal is for the mini game (v1) to go live a the same time as the first land sale, and this will also be live for free to play (t0 land players)

slow cedar
amber atlas
#

there will be a wipe at v2 (aligned with main game launch), but we hope to make at least some blueprints available for research before that (v1.1)

#

(wipe meaning the structures you have built will be wiped... of course you keep your NFTs be they land or blueprints)

slow cedar
#

Would you keep fuel at that point too? Or will this mean that at game launch, there will be a bit of a fuel shortage due to land owners needing time to re-set up production?

amber atlas
#

in the period between v1 and v2 fuel will not be meaningful as it won't be on the blockchain (so yes it will be wiped)

slow cedar
#

Gotcha, good to know thank you

amber atlas
#

we are hoping this is is a pretty short time, its basically a chance to get familiar with the game

#

and the ability to researach some blueprints will be a nice little bonus

slow cedar
#

Yeah that makes total sense - better to have us play then wipe as almost an alpha/beta test than just tell us that we're not able to play until launch

amber atlas
#

honestly I sent the version names to Aaron and I probably made a mistake, it would be clearer if we called v1.0 'alpha' or some such

slow cedar
brazen zinc
#

This is super helpful thanks Johnny. It makes sense to have some sort of IZ beta but Id say keeping the period of play followed by a wipe as short as possible is the key

Ah interesting! I hadn't realised you did that as well as the IZ stuff

amber atlas
#

indeed, internally I look after all of tech (from infrastructure to the game developers to data science), but Aaron was nice enough to give me a game designer hat for Zero... so I get a lot more chance to interact with the community in this area

#

not too many people are interested in the nuances of terraform builds, or cpp coding standards

#

šŸ™‚

slow cedar
#

I'll be honest - I don't even know what those things mean! I can only assume those things are very dull, and there's a game designer inside hankering to get away from those dull things and make cool games instead:P

we haven't talked about it, my feeling is that the timelines would be too tight

In a lot of people’s minds, calling something open beta is the same thing as saying game launch. If a game is at a stage where it is genuinely not ready yet, best not to call it an open beta.

Will land tiers always stay the same tier, or can you upgrade them? Can someone explain how the auction will work. Lands sold 1 by 1? And will price reset back to start price when a land is sold or does it keep decreasing from that price?

# static raptor Is it confirmed if the blueprints do anything?

yeah zilbagholder has it right... when you are the first to research/produce a blueprint then you will hold like the copyright for that design and when players in the maingame choose to use your design to produce something you would receive a portion of the resources/fuel used to forge it. Additionally it will likely be that since there won't be enough different designs for everyone to be the first to research/produce their own blueprint those that get a blueprint after the first person would have the chance to use the blueprint at a reduced cost of resources/fuel. It's not clear if the DAO or the initial blueprint hold would be the one to miss out on the amount being discounted. At least that is the use case for blueprints that has been discussed so far.

After buying a piece of land, the land owner is going to have to invest on it?

vivid cipher
vivid cipher
#

depends on the player but I think the idea was to be minimal. It's a builder game as described. Mostly you'd start a building project and wait for it to complete. Aaron has said it would be like 3 months of efficient building to reach the building cap... but that is just the idea since the game hasn't even reached proof of concept stage

#

you tap to collect resources

#

you tap to build

#

you tap to play the game... it shouldn't be a time guzzler... more of an idle builder

#

he has used the game simpsons tapped out as an example

terse osprey
#

Ok... got it... hope I can buy a piece of land...

#

thanks for your time.

wind bolt
#

Is there a breakdown of building costs yet? meaning what resources are needed to build specific buildings? Other than whats in the GDD

vivid cipher
#

no

odd furnace
#

is there a release date for illuvium: zero and also in the land sale section it says "A Dutch auction will be used to sell land in tranches to maximise hype, minimise gas wars" in this will there be like a set timer that each section will be sold. And also would one person be able to buy more than one piece of land

lucid karma
#

i'm not 100% sure but I think it means the tiers will be auctioned off at different times. For example, tier 4 land will be auctioned off after tier 5 land auction finishes. With the dutch auction it starts high and goes low. So I think for a given auction tier, the highest bidder will get the 1st piece, 2nd highest gets the 2nd piece and so on until all of it is sold.

not quite... each piece of Land will have unique attributes that will be known before any buyer would buy it. The starting price for all the items in each tier would be the same but many of them will be available to purchase at the same time.

My understanding after an explanation from admin is that it will be a separate, single-item, dutch auction for each individual Land NFT. We will all watch the price go down on the different NFTs and whoever is the first to process BUY IT NOW for the one they want will pay whatever the cost is at that block and will then be the owner of that NFT.

lucid karma
#

interesting

#

that could take a long time to auction off the low tier lands

polar yacht
#

idk, by then there will be an even larger community and i think the T1 land will be quite affordable.

vivid cipher
lucid karma
#

so for example two tier 3 lands would not necessarily be identical?

vivid cipher
# lucid karma so for example two tier 3 lands would not necessarily be identical?

I think the idea is that they will definitely NOT be identical... they will be unique. They will have comparable objective value... but subjectively that might not be the case. Some would want to have a land in the fire region while others prefer in the water region... some would prefer more of one resource than another resource... its gonna be a complex yet equitable gaming system. I'm excited about it.

Hello, I am interested in purchasing land. How might someone purchase land at this current point in time?

chilly hemlock
odd furnace
#

Can a person still be able to purchase more than one piece of land per wallet

odd furnace
#

Interesting also what is the idea behind building on the land I understand the owning and what rewards you get from owning it. Is the building there for the entertainment of that it makes it more play to earn or will the builds have a point

vivid cipher
chilly hemlock
odd furnace
#

Ok is there a cost for building on the land you now own??

#

And are lands limited to a current amount of builds??

vivid cipher
#

it's a building game like simpsons tapped out or the building side of clash of clans... so you can build stuff for free but pay to speed it up

#

yeah you won't be able to build everything on any single land NFT

odd furnace
#

Oh so it will then take time for the builds to be built

vivid cipher
#

I believe the higher tiers are actually not even bigger they just have better and more easily produced resources

#

you choose what branch(es) of the research/build tree you want to do and eventually you will hit a limit

odd furnace
#

I understand some land will have different resources to others and in so you wouldn’t be able to build everything

vivid cipher
#

well you will be able to by trading for the resources you need

#

or paying for them

#

or by building a device that will very slowly get you the resource you need

odd furnace
#

The trading system that will be in will be between players?? Would there be any gas fees for that

it could look something like this though... 13498.6 T1
4500 T2
1500 T3
500 T4

but thats pure speculation

vivid cipher

so land owners are able to build structures that produce fuel that is used on travel?

gotcha. speculation

merry elm
vivid cipher
merry elm
vivid cipher
#

in fact aaron said that the efficiency for producing fuel should increase by tier at a slower rate than the increase in ~~price point ~~scarcity of the different tiers (I had to change that from price point to scarcity they don't necessarily mean the same thing, but I think the idea is for starting price of the dutch auction and the scarcity to be in direct correlation)

merry elm
#

well I want to see more detail and then decide what I think about T1 , maybe it wount be that bad , just looks kinda questionable from what I have seen at this point

vivid cipher
#

so hypothetically... if each tier was 3x more rare than the one below it... if you have like 3 tier2s working producing fuel you'd get more fuel than if you had 1 t3. even though the scarcity is 3x higher.

merry elm
#

sure , but T1 does not have fuel nodes to begin with so it is bit different

vivid cipher
#

same would be true for t1 to t2

#

you just build the converter

#

or whatever the structure was called

merry elm
#

yes but on doc I saw it was sait that it is expensive and not really worth it, it is only in case if you dont want to trade

huh alright... i think it said not very efficient but yeah we shall see

You begin our game with a free-to-play experience that immerses you in our richly-detailed world, lets you enjoy some action, and helps you understand how the game works. The free-to-play experience of the Tier 0 regions will familiarize you with Illuvium, and won’t feel like an ā€œabridgedā€ version of the game. It is a full-fledged gameplay experience! If you like it, you can then decide to opt in to the paid experience, start collecting NFTs from higher tiered regions, and delve into deeper adventures to explore the mysteries of the game where the NFTs you gather start to hold more value as well.

Just after game launch, when everyone starts fresh, you might even be able to sell free Tier 0 NFTs on the IlluviDEX for ETH, but there is no guarantee for that.

Illuvium uses Immutable X as a layer 2 solution. This means that you won’t be charged network gas fees within Illuvium and instead only need to transfer funds between the Ethereum Mainnet and Immutable X. This keeps the player's cost of doing business low, maximizing potential gain. For more information about Immutable X check out https://www.immutable.com/

And IMX auto-sells ETH for the layer 2 transactions into IMX on their backend right, providing a seamless UX?

south forge
slate goblet
#

how will the 5 batches work? will they split all tier lands on the 5 batches? or will each batch sell all lands of a tier?

#

so, land will be a kind of passive income? land owners will build structures that will produce fuel and this fuel can be sold on marketplace, similar to SLP on axie?
will we need to spend more money to build structures?

chilly hemlock
# slate goblet how will the 5 batches work? will they split all tier lands on the 5 batches? or...

Each tier will be split as evenly as possible between each batch, so the first batch will be 20k land that has all tiers with only 1 or 2 T5 and probably over 10k t1. The next land sale will likely not be for multiple months after that one. It is free to build structures but it may cost money to speed them up. Think of it like any mobile tycoon game. Land will generate passive income in the form of fuel and blueprints, but you should actively play the game for maximum returns

slate goblet
#

got it šŸ™‚ so we either leave structures working by themselves or spend money to speed up production, and of course the fuel price will influence on that

#

is this the only way to produce fuel on the games? is there any advantage on owning 2 lands close to each other as in decentraland?

low geode

I'm definitely not able to afford lands. Literally my whole bucks goes into staking ILV (not that much really 🤣) but kudos to the team for making zero available for f2p players. I'm hoping to get at least near full experience even with tier 0 lands, aside from earning from the game of course. I think that would be great for gamers who doesn't have capitals to purchase land but interested with the game. Let's face it, coming from developing/3rd world country, we probably can't afford one.

The thing is, for decades people have played games like IZ for free expecting no monetary reward. This team is high talent, and are going to make a fun game. Before nft gaming many of us would have played it expecting nothing in return. I honestly think the free to play version is a stroke of genius

!DAO is the better term for what is being discussed here. It just a pool.

dry forgeBOT
#

Illuvium is a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). The governmental body, known as the council, is elected by ILV token holders.

If you have an idea that you feel will improve the game and community as a whole, you should start by sharing your idea in the #802110554784661544 section and getting feedback from the community. If there are no major issues, you could then write a proposal and submit it to the council for review: https://medium.com/illuvium/30-contribute-to-illuvium-game-development-by-submitting-iips-via-github-ccf4bfae30

The council, which should be composed of knowledgeable & experienced members who think critically and accurately, will then - after careful deliberation if your proposal is truly best for the game and community - vote to either accept or reject the proposal.

if we can pay directly, then fuel price will be capped below travel payment

also the development phases for July was the POC is there a document for all of that or where can all of that be seen

#

also in regards to the blueprint it says this "In the Alpha - August this would only be a collectible and serve no purpose beyond capturing as many as possible." how does one get blueprints now?

slate goblet
#

I mean, will we be able to pay directly to the game to make travel, or will we need to buy fuel from IMX (I hope) fuel marketplace?

#

if the only way to travel be by spending fuel, all ILV players will need to either own Zero land and produce their own fuel, or buy fuel from land owners, and fuel price will be based on market demand

odd furnace
#

no so like you will be able to buy fuel with sILV in order to travel you wont need to own land to do so

slate goblet

but if we can pay directly to the game to travel, fuel price won't increase above in-game travel price

#

I know we don't need to own land :-x

knotty shard
#

sILV and ETH there will be a limited supply of sILV as this comes from the Max Supply of ILV

so the fuel used for in game how i understand it will be provided by the eco system of the owners of the land making it that the fuel price will go up and down with demand

so u think we won't be able to pay in the game to travel

the tricky thing to figure out on the DAO is you can't just fractionalize it because presumably someone still has to use it in game to have value

Check out the GDD posted by Aaron, it's hidden by a spoiler. A quick search returns nothing for mining specifically, but you will be able to extract resources according to that document.

#

It looks like there will be Resource Extractors and Resource Converters. I suppose those could be considered "mines" in a sense, but I don't think the node style mining of games like WoW will be present (as it's a city-builder game)

So what you guys thinking tier 1’s are gunna go for? 1k?

I doubt anything is selling for less than 1 ETH, whatever thats worth when the land sale happens. They will likely be promoting the open beta by then and there could be a LOT of people looking to buy especially if NFTs in general keep being so profitable.

#

at this time they havent said they will be using ETH as the currency for buying the land so far it will only be sILV so only if you stake ILV so far will you be able to buy land

Lands will be for sale in both ETH and sILV

Maybe not a mix of the two for one payment.

Hey quick question, it says in the GDD (and in messages ive seen here) that blueprints will be NFTS; and potentially will act as patents for armor or weapons, is there anywhere where I can find more details on that or is that the full extent of it?

vivid cipher
#

Update. The following is not likely going to be how it works.

Regarding blueprints… when you are the first to research/produce a blueprint then you will hold like the copyright for that design and when players in the maingame choose to use your design to produce something you would receive a portion of the resources/fuel used to forge it. Additionally it will likely be that since there won't be enough different designs for everyone to be the first to research/produce their own blueprint those that get a blueprint after the first person would have the chance to use the blueprint at a reduced cost of resources/fuel. It's not clear if the DAO or the initial blueprint holder would be the one to miss out on the amount being discounted. At least that is the use case for blueprints that has been discussed so far.

wind bolt
#

And could they be traded on the marketplace?

ocean hollow
amber atlas
#

we are thinking that (at least for v2) that you will need to own the BP in order to craft the item it defines

#

but being the first discoverer will only grant a small benefit (like your name in a 'highscore' type table associated with the NFT)

#

there's still a lot of room to earn, as we came up with a model where doing more research makes it more and more likely you will get the higher tier items (and becasue the BP will now be required rather than leased)

#

with also some ways you can control what you research (a specialisation of sorts)

#

I think we've reached a good balance between exciting moments, and consistent returns

#

next step is the internal write up, and then we will look at sharing it with the community (presumably a document, but maybe a video or something)

#

in general Aaron and I come from opposite spectrum of preferred gameplay (I like grindy MMOs and randomness, and he likes carefully manicured and predictable systems that rely on big brains)... if we both strongly agree it is usually a sign the design is good.. but feel free to share your thoughts

as long as everyone is we are aware we are purely in conjecture space: I see a plausible model where there are home bases which are land NFTs that are inviolate (can't be conquered).... these make up some small percentage of the map like 10%, the rest of the map is up for grabs with ownership transferring based on some kind of capture mechanic

#

the home bases have enough resources that over time you can reasonably build up a new force and start conquering even if you get hammered back to your home base

This ties into clans/guilds too, forming alliances to hold the lands

yeah, the pragamatic problems of this model tends to be that the clans control becomes so strong, that it is basically impossible for a new player to get involved

a lot of games like this (Evony springs to mind), have lots of new instances/worlds springing up all the time to combat this

vivid cipher
# slate goblet so 95% will be produced by the game and 5% will be produced by lands?

There are a few possible options listed in the GDD tokenomics. But the lands will produce around 50% of the fuel and the land owners would only be able to swap 10% of what they produce ETH. (10% of 50% = 5% of the total) The other fuel they can’t swap is still added to the FUEL/ETH pool but its the DAO treasury that gets the ETH. The DAO treasury will be producing the other 50% of the total fuel and swapping it into the FUEL/ETH pool as well. The only way to get FUEL would be to swap for it. It wouldn’t be an NFT it’ll be an erc20 token. There will be an ability to swap either ETG or sILV for FUEL

#

Also… I suspect nothing will be called FUEL. It reads to me like there will be three types of fuel. Each with a different in game purpose. But for discussion of the fuel tokenomics just referring to all of the as FUEL is simpler.

#šŸŽ®ć€•illuvium-zero message

slate goblet
#

tnx for the explanation... so the vault will produce 50% and deposit it with ETH into the pool and the other 50% will be produced by lands buildings

#

And from fuel produced by land buildings, 90% the owner must take for himself to use and only 10% he can deposit with ETH into the pool?

when will the 1st auction be?

There was initial talk by Aaron which I seem to remember mentioning $1000 and t1 lands in conjunction. Since then a lot has changed (including making it a Dutch auction!) Once we know the rough value of fuel, and how much fuel a land can produce after a few months, we can calculate some ROI formulae and go into the auction with at least some sensible prices in mind. Until then it's plucking numbers out the sky

I've heard that ETH and/or sILV being used to purchase land, but has the idea of purchasing land with only sILV been brought up? Doing so would reduce the total supply of ILV and would allow stakers a guaranteed allocation

Only sILV? Why would you wan to limit land only to few people who can actually generate any meaningful sILV, I don't see how anyone besides few people gain anything out of it. They will use sILV anyway , it is just lose lose situation

Probably not limit land to only sILV, but would be interesting if there is actually a incentive for sILV. If its both sILV and ETH, most people would just use ETH so sILV is somewhat irrelevant

# hasty haven Probably not limit land to only sILV, but would be interesting if there is actua...

False. Lots of people used all their ETH to buy ILV and stake it. They don’t have enough ETH to buy land. They have gone all in ILV. So sILV is their only way to get enough liquidity to buy land. To exclude those people that are all in ILV would be a harsh blow to the community. But to have it be a sale for only sILV would similarly reduce potential growth of the community and wipe out any chance for revenue to pay for the development of IZ

#

I'm guessing when the time comes, most people will use ETH though, because that's usually what happens in NFT sales, but we'll see.

If it does then stakers may just be rolling in rev dis. We will be able to sell our rev dis ILV and buy the land with our profits.

# acoustic vine Do you need to purchase a land to travel from tier 0 - tier 1?

That doesn't make sense. Land Tier is something that shows the productiveness of the land. You don't 'travel' to it, it's just a rating system.

In all Illuvium titles we use two words to describe power:

Tier - This is the underlying power and rarity of a thing. Think Tier lists that you see online.
Stage - This is a progression system for a 'thing'. So if an Illuviul line has different stages, this shows it progressing. If you have a stage 2 bladed shield Tier 1, that means it's the same shield but just progressed and upgraded. A Tier 2 bladed shield would be a new thing, that is better and rarer.

So I'm curious now - with the main game delay do we have any news on an IZ delay? And if so a land sale delay? There had been talk of a full wipe to coinside with main game launch initially, and while a 6 week in wipe seemed OK, a 4 month in wipe seems less OK to me...

#

But a delay of the maingame could change the timeline for Illuvium zero. We will have to wait and see.

With longer time for maingame players that are stakers to stockpile sILV to buy fuel there might be value in having enough fuel stockpiled to meet the demand upon release.

Back when IZ was first proposed, there was talk of IZ being fully made and released ahead of the main game. What I'd personally love to see is Aaron or Johnny say "you know what, the main game is delayed but IZ' s our proof that missing the deadline was a one off, not something we're going to repeat on all our games" - get IZ made and released on the time line as before, knock it out the PARK, and ensure land have that day 1 use case. That'd set expectations where they deserve to be imo

cinder fractal
#

One thing I'm still confused about if illuvium zero is released 1month before main game release is it going to be possible to collect fuel and to create shards so they can be sold on marketplace or used once when we have open beta or harvesting will be possible only once when we have main game?

#

Because if we are able to produce fuel upfront and potentially main game can be postponed further let's say q2 2022 that can be a big bonus if you own a land

the difference in stockpiling fuel is that we can just leave buildings producing, while ETH requires moving salary money into the game

There are also partner sets of very limited collectible NFT's. Those collectibles are not for in game use, this is so everyone has a fair and balanced start when the game is released. You can find out more here: https://illuvinati.gitbook.io/illuvium-archives/official-nfts

will we have to spend ETH to make buildings on the land? I had read something about spending ETH to speed up production

brisk gull
#

I think something like that have been mentionned, would be free but you can speed up with ETH. Seems like p2w for me tho. Since there is no p2w in the main game, it would suprise me if they go that way.

slate goblet
#

it'd be a matter of calculating if the fuel price is worth the ETH investment into increasing the production

vivid cipher
slate goblet
#

but, as we buy a land, after that will we have eternal fuel production without having to spend any more money?

vivid cipher
slate goblet
#

and then, how much fuel would it be? say, how many travels are we able to do with 1 day production from a t3 land?

vivid cipher
#

Yeah it’s gonna be wild

slate goblet
vivid cipher
#

In game resources.

#

But my understanding of the land development is that you would not need to pay for much (maybe nothing but the land) to just keep building away. It’d take several months to ramp up your fuel production that way. But doable.

slate goblet
#

it's lame if we need to keep spending after having bought it

amber atlas
#

you don't need to keep spending to play, but there will be a speedup mechanic as found in most of these games which will apply to structure building and some activities (but not fuel generation or research)

slate goblet
#

so after we buy a land we don't need to spend any more money on it and by making buildings it will produce fuels forever?

#

if fuel price is high enough we can spend money to speed it up

amber atlas
#

you cant speed up Fuel production directly we think this will make things too hard to manage (from a game balance game economy point of view), you can get to your 'end state' quicker by spending money

amber atlas
#

I certainly don't see that idea changing in the short to medium term

#

I think we will come up with something pretty neat, and also a solid base on which we can iterate new features quickly

slate goblet
#

that's the important thing, have a solid base so new features can be developed on without needing to remake it

#

I had never developed for mobile, I wonder how it must be

amber atlas
#

a lot easier than it used to be, I did some games for the early iPhones and performance was very tricky, now phones are powerful... still need to think about performance, but it doesn't rule your life šŸ™‚

#

IZ is also 2D (3D rendered down to isometric 2D), which reduces the things you need to think about from a performance perspective

#

It’s interesting. So if you currently stake you can either a) take your interest as ILV tokens, which then start compounding, or you can give that up and take rewards as sILV, which you can use to buy land and start earning a return on that land. So the return on land HAS to be better than the ILV compounding rate, for it to be worth it. You are trading a passive income for an income that requires you to actively play a game. Hmmm

#

I guess the other factor is that your returns from land aren’t locked, so you can access your money earlier.

The skins for the illuvials will not be a thing right away. The main game team has a hard enough time getting the normal skins done in time.

Yes, sILV price is pegged to the price of ILV

well idk why someone would want to sell it cheaper, but in-game price is the same as ILV price

Idk, I dont see why it would be any way else

hey guys I asked this question a week ago and got no response, so ill ask again šŸ˜‹ : If Land Rarity is determined by outputs, then why do Tier 3 have higher fuel output than Tier 4 plots.. Tier 3 plots also have high resource sites and output, with a fuel variety. how & why are Tier 4 plots rarer? What am I missing; are there more illuvials on tier 4's? @bitter glade

merry elm
#

Everything could change till the time of land sale , T4 has T4 illuvials (not in-game ones) T1 has T1 , t2 -t2 and so on

slate goblet

yeah but they need to define how the game will work and make it pretty clear before sale

they will , we are not even close to beta yet , give them 1-2 months , it should be + - clear by then

I will decide which land tier I want to purchase once it is clear what each tier will produce or the advantages of having the higher tier land,....... for example if a tier 4 land produces the same as 20 tier 2 or 10 tier3 lands, then I might go for that tier4,.... But when combining different lands give me other benefits, then I might go for the lower tiers,.... To much puzzled and unclear in my head at this stage lol.

Hello guys! Do we have any idea of how much a land is gonna cost? Do we know if SILV accumulated in the stake will be enabled to use? Are we going to be able to combine ETH with our SILV to get it?

Saw the answers above, thanksss

#

Is there going to be a whitelist for the land sales?

i do not believe so other than maybe on teir 1 land

slate goblet
#

we need to know much fuel will cost for a travel, how much fuel a land will produce, how many lands will there be, how much fuel the DAO will produce... it's crazy to see ppl willing to pay 10K USD on a game asset without even knowing its worth

#

sadly cryptocurrency is full of whales who have no idea what to do with their money

livid kestrel
#

how many lands each tier would be published?

cinder fractal
slate goblet
#

on the contrary, it shows exactly how they have no idea what to do with their money

#

but in ur example, buying a ape pic for 10K affects nobody else, so it's the buyer issue, but when whales overpay for a game land that produces resources used by players, players can't buy the land and the resource goes expensive too

cinder fractal
slate goblet
#

council changing rules is also bad, because land owners buy "expecting" an income/month and then it's reduced

gilded wren
slate goblet
#

whales = stakers != players

cinder fractal
#

Kieran said how it's never going to be fixed % it can start with 10% but months later it can be 5% so I'm pretty sure whales will be aware of that risk

#

At the end that's decentralization some people will complain but they will need to live with council decisions or they can choose to leave our project

#

It's not possible to make perfect system where everyone is going to be happy

odd furnace
#

tbh we wont know till the date of the auction but all im saying is that is what i think the price will be going for

slate goblet
#

yeah let's wait they publish the final numbers to make calcs

#

it's troubling if most fuel is produced by some hundreds whales and they force fuel price up, it's also troubling if after auctions the rules are changed and most fuel is produced by the DAO under fixed price

what you need to understand is even if you just own a tier 1 land it is still a very good investment. what you need to think of is the expansion of buildings meaning ppl will need more land meaning your tier 1 lands price will go up as well

#

this whole method that they have brought in is a very good way to show even if you have a tier 1 land you will still make profit on it

#

if you were to sell your land of course

slate goblet

so go read teh GDD and in there is the piece of expansion of building and in so needing of more land to do so. So i think the land is very much worht buying

cinder fractal

Like you said so many people around with so much money and they don't know where to invest for me that's enough to buy land early even if I don't have all the numbers

vivid cipher
slate goblet
#

that's what I understood too, they're able to control how much fuel is produced under 50% production but their revenue is over only 10%

#

their revenue and also the fuel they can use for traveling too

vivid cipher
#

Team will of course keep working on then balance before everything is live anyways.

cinder fractal
#

Even once when we have all the numbers it's not going to be possible to predict the future we will need to wait and to see what's going to happen

slate goblet
#

yeah if rules are heavily changed after auctions then land owners may either profit a lot or lose a lot of money

#

how much 1 unit of fuel will be priced on marketplace, and how many units of fuel is a T3 land able to produce?

#

I doubt whales would be able to organize to control market prices

#

many land owners will wanna take their fuel share to fuel their travels, so how many travels is a T3 land able to fuel with 1 day production?

small star
#

I also don’t understand this ā€œonly 100k land, it’s rare, let’s buy for 10kā€ when maybe you’ll need 10 years to make your money back. But as it’s also said, it’s NFT and lot of people have no idea what rentability means…. Making price stupid high.

#

But the land don’t only produce fuel. They produce blue print … that’ll be difficult to value.

odd furnace
#

true but land also gives you resource that you can use ingame so that has a value to it too.

slate goblet
#

there will be 5 auctions, the 1st one of course will have highest risk, buyers may lose money or maybe next auctions will have tons of interest and all 20K lands be bought in a few minutes under insane gas cost

#

let's remember that auction will start at a top price which will decrease if there's no interest, so during auction there's no chance the price will skyrocket

odd furnace
#

it can be bought with eth si the gas cost wont be that high i believe

#

will have to wait and see what happens but i will for sure get land

slate goblet
#

if 50% or 90% of all land production is sold by the DAO under fixed price, maybe land owners will have that price as their roof

so we need to calc
bought price / (resource amount per day * roof resource price) = ROI in days

#

maybe it's more worth to buy illuvials on market place and sell later than to buy land and sell its resources to illuvial hunters šŸ˜„

# slow cedar I'm still hoping we get some official clarification on if IZ is delayed or not, ...

similar sentiment to what you're saying... I feel like it would be super helpful is we could receive an indication of starting prices of the dutch auction for the different tiers of land to help us in determining how much sILV to be claiming approx in preperation, cos at this point its semi guesswork (i do obvi also appreciate its far off the time still but would help if we can get at least approx figures)

cosmic aspen

the buyers will determine the price

land will be owned as an nft right, so technically would be resellable on illuviDEX?

and of course on ETH mainnet as well since the illuvidex may not be out yet - considering the first land sale will happen a bit before main game launch

This is from the officially voted proposal. It is the official plan. Any changes would need to be voted on.

ā€œPayment

Both ETH and sILV will be used as payment methods for land. While sILV will not attract external revenue, it will incentivize current token holders to claim their yield tokens as sILV. This phenomenon will massively reduce the total supply of ILV long term.

Note: It is unclear yet if hybrid purchases can be made (sILV + ETH in one transaction)ā€
