Its not garbage, it used to only be of the universe but since you retired players really became on another level. We are talking about best players of the whole milky way now!

[worn frigate]

Hopefully not today.🤣

[hazy sentinel]

Dude how are u so good haha, I can never make it past wave 11

[zinc leaf]

Dude, if there are some new friends want to learn about Arena and Overworld, where do you suggest them to get the best tutorials ?

[smoky python]

My general advice for new players is to just read what all the illuvials, augments, classes, traits do

Then just play for a while

Always better to discover things on your own a bit and then going for more help

[zinc leaf]

Thank you SJUD. Yeah, they are willing to read all that information.
They just hope they can do a one-stop study and learn it step by step. I've suggested them to check illuviHub, illuviData, illuvialMaster, not sure if there are other better information websites for the new players.

[smoky python]

Nice if they have all those sites its a great start

[tulip tiger]

i forgot to take my screen shot ..... again lol

[tulip tiger]

fake leaderboard gang killin it

[smoky python]

lol

42 minutes

[tulip tiger]

there are some helpful guilds out there to check out #899655780033261639 🙂

[smoky python]

Was he just watching Soda play the whole time and then copying it?

😉

[tulip tiger]

42 min of fun

[tulip tiger]

you got me

[worn frigate]

Don't worry. if you win all 3days , you can still win.
but I think you will be over tomorrow with hisapio hahahaha🤣

[smoky python]

It's better for them to have at least a general understanding of what things do before my coaching session

[zenith mortar]

I'm just saying that wasn't the answer I expected from you but it was a good one hahah usually the general advice from you is “get better”

[smoky python]

Well yes after you know what everything does its just about playing and getting good

[reef basalt]

git gud

[next flame]

Mate the reason HYPE is so good is cause we all play and learn together! Because you just must know I actually wasn't watching Soda play just so happens that Soda is a really good player and thinker!

[smoky python]

But HYPE isnt actually good

Nice archeleon tank btw 😆

[halcyon nova]

that makes me feel good considering

[opaque cape]

are hype players called hyppies?

we'll take the xbrows

phantoms can be fartons

[turbid osprey]

Often called best players of the universe but sometime of the milky way ;)

Oh, alright - thanks : )

[twilit storm]

mehh..considering the xborg army populating the leaderboard rn..yes..we are far away from your two men army..but hey..we learn. Someday maybe we ll be challenging for the gods of pve infinite runs blabla

[safe stirrup]

Does that mean they got the backend running and can do 1v1s now, smartass hated the backend

me playing/learning arena (getting danced on by slappin)

https://tenor.com/view/cute-adorable-duckling-haha-classic-gif-17283485

[zenith mortar]

Some people think they know how things work behind the scenes when they really dont

we probably played 100+ games yesterday

everyday is a new day for pvp... team is only getting more hyped, especially the ones that arent Arena savvy, they have to up their game now and really learn the workings of Arena

and now that they are... ooooo its getting intesting!

[safe stirrup]

Sweet amazing that u guys got the multiplayer to work, how would you currently compare it to TFT, even though completely different as that’s 8 FFA not 1v1

[opaque cape]

so have you managed to fix the problem and can now queue up more than lets say 10 people?

cause the interview of kieran i watched today said that when you played him you were still having issues

[zenith mortar]

Who said that was a problem?

[opaque cape]

kieran did?

[zenith mortar]

Hmmm not sure I heard him say that

[opaque cape]

he literally said he couldnt even place units on the board from round 3 onwards cause of some bug and you guys couldnt complete multiple games cause of server issues or something

i dont focus really hard when listenening to those interviews though, they are on the background while i do something else

[zenith mortar]

yeah so that has nothing to do with what you mentioneed

[opaque cape]

well you saying 100+ games makes it sound like things are fixed

[zenith mortar]

I said what I said

[opaque cape]

while listening to the interview it doesnt sound fixed

so mixed signals

"played 100 games yesterday" vs "attempted to play 100 games" is quite a difference

[zenith mortar]

Just because Kieran and I had an issue connecting 1-2 games doesnt mean it was this way with all people testing, this is why he said its just not ready. Its not a good experience if 1 person is having trouble connecting even if the rest arent

[opaque cape]

well i hope youre right 😄

any chance we get to see a showcase soon?

shh, don't spoil it

[opaque cape]

is kyle being toxic as usual?

who is the best player internally atm?

[zenith mortar]

me

[opaque cape]

@worn frigate beat me in normals tomorrow 😄

i dont think 36 is possible

[soft prairie]

Is pvp a 1v1 BO3? and is it a Rating formula?

[worn frigate]

Good Job!
I think very hard to do today!🤣
I will try later.
I just need to play the competitive once, so I may not do it right away.

[opaque cape]

youre gonna die on 29 😄

[smoky python]

"Retirement"

[opaque cape]

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[smoky python]

LOL

THE ASS IS BACK

[worn frigate]

Are you talking about today's deck?
If so, I got to Wave31 on my first run.

[worn frigate]

Hey @opaque cape
Today's WAVE36 was very hard but I cleared once.
This is fake one.
Try it hahaha🤣

[turbid osprey]

Love your comp synergies for what augments we have today, very good stuff @worn frigate !!

[worn frigate]

Yes very easy to decide comps
I have never lost until WAVE36 , I lost WAVE36x3 and WAVE37.
WAVE37 is also beatable so I will try to clear WAVE40 tomorrow.

[worn frigate]

I could clear Wave36 yesterday.
Wave38 was impossible WAVE!
Did you use Rhamphyre yesterday?

[opaque cape]

i never use rhamphyre

the unit is off limits for me 😄

this was as far as my comp could go, 36 impossible

todays deck is hopeless, no carries but rhamphyre 😦

[smoky python]

Forced into playing Big Bird?

Just what I like to see for you

[opaque cape]

torture

[opaque cape]

i tried

also tried the 5 fire, 2 magma, 2 inferno, double snakes dont do shit

[opaque cape]

this loses lol

[bronze canopy]

Wave 13 loss kek double u

[opaque cape]

thats with a huge overspend

only 45 gold left

this wins with 1 unit lost and 120 more gold

fire is too weak, snakes are garbage imo

[worn frigate]

You can play with my comps.
Otherwise, you're wasting your time.
Still, Wave36 is difficult.
In the case of the Competitive, should the comps not have been shown?
All I could see was this comps today.

[opaque cape]

there is only 2 choices

you either go 3 bullwark with your comp and get 3 water from atlas

or you go the 3 fighter and 3 water from water fighter

its gonna be augment diff 😄

[worn frigate]

It was one-choice for me.
I used this units from WAVE17🤣

[opaque cape]

i think i found the secret augment setup 😄

penguin is carrying me

rhamphyre doesnt cast half the rounds

this is the story of my life when i play rhamphyre

next run im beating 36, was 0,5 seconds away from flying and winning

[worn frigate]

WAVE37 is really beatable so you can take it!

[opaque cape]

1 cast, nice unit

well ill take it

its probably a 40 day, but not sure i want to do another run, its kinda boring with these units

such skill, much wow

[worn frigate]

great job!👍
I will try tomorrow.

[tulip tiger]

Last tournament you played in you got whipped .... lol

[tulip tiger]

please no step on snek

https://tenor.com/view/cute-snek-snake-gif-19212997

[worn frigate]

Yesterday's WAVE38 and WAVE40 were really hard WAVE but I could clear them

[tulip tiger]

mvp

[opaque cape]

yeah i figured it was a 40 day, all you need to do is make rhamphyre cast 1 time, but too much time to find the spot in competitive mode and too boring 😄

[worn frigate]

Yeah I also know that it's pointless, so I only play competitive once.
I think Aaron will probably choose a random deck.
This will save you from boring runs.
However, since the decks are not the same, fighting an invisible enemy may be a different and tedious task.🤣
@tulip tiger I really like Reset Warriors, where everyone plays the same deck.👍

[worn frigate]

#1101490899537625108 message
@turbid osprey @smoky python

Here's an idea I posted before about survival mode
And no one commented on it. hahaha🤣
What do you think about this idea? You are a member of the Gaming Council

This way you don't have to get up at 2 in the morning to do the same thing as the Reset Warriors.
And no streaming is required.
Everyone plays with the same deck.
I think with a random deck, there's less joy when you beat someone.

[smoky python]

Because we are so close to PvP being released there is not gonna be work added to Survival PvE for now

And then PvP will be the main competitive mode

[worn frigate]

What about survival mode?
Will this go away as Kieran said?

[smoky python]

I hope not as it'd still be fun to play.
As far as I know it will still be included with the game at Open Beta

[rugged glen]

How do you guys already have illuvials for arena? I thought they were captured in overworld to be able to play with

[turbid osprey]

We are still in private beta state. The illuvials we have accessible in the survival mode & even the one you can capture in the OW are not NFTs right now

[hallow gulch]

Survival Mode should still be around, supposed to be a kind of practice/puzzle mode

Survival can defo help someone learn positioning better for PvP

Shouldn’t go away

[vernal forum]

Agreed. Survival is an excellent tool for teaching and onboarding new players for PvP. It also presents many offshoots and possibilities for pve fun and possible free to play goodness.

[gentle bronze]

I could see the system being use to implant a raid type of game mode where you fight the leviathan in waves or whatever

Exciting possibilities

[proven ember]

Survival mode will stay, it'll change slightly to become more roguelite when we have some resources

But it's intended to be an onboarding tool

[reef basalt]

Ooh roguelite.

[zenith mortar]

Is that even a word

Ben invented that just like TFT

[safe stirrup]

ROGUELITE LETS GOOO

[dusty dawn]

We dont have to forget that many players like to play pve more than pvp

[hallow gulch]

For sure

[opaque cape]

i heard pvp is only for the sweaty tryhards

[gentle bronze]

I’m sweating as we speak 😫💦

[split egret]

PvP is the piece of cake I wanna try to eat ( play) so hard until my all brain my cell used

[opaque cape]

so close

give me pvp already, i feel like my pve skills are maxed out 😄

[worn frigate]

What's going on? hahaha🤣
Today's training is going to be very hard, thank you.

[tulip tiger]

I hear when they start making memes about you they are jealous

[tulip tiger]

Nice run!!!!

[tulip tiger]

I see jestski made a nice run

[brazen quarry]

Anyone else playing on mac having crash issues?
I play 1 game / day and for the last 2 weeks it crashed on me at least once / day

[split egret]

I'm too broke to have that issue

[worn frigate]

How did you beat WAVE38.
I've tried Empath5, Revenant or Toxic templar and I cloud not do anything at all.🤣
Good job!

[opaque cape]

@worn frigate you missed the secret verdant strat 😄 ?

[brazen quarry]

Even with looking at this I don't know how to get all of that

[opaque cape]

just put some units on the board 😄

[brazen quarry]

I can't find verdant AND templar

[opaque cape]

nature sword bond with archeleon

[brazen quarry]

is this yesterdays deck?

[opaque cape]

yes

[brazen quarry]

well that explains a lot

😄

[opaque cape]

in response to aruwaioh

[brazen quarry]

hard to make yesterdays build with todays deck

[opaque cape]

you'd really have to try hard

[worn frigate]

I did not use turtle
I don't know how to clear the attack from Rhamphyre and shrimp with it🤣

[opaque cape]

you have a new chance with todays deck 😄

[worn frigate]

🤣

[tulip tiger]

Aegis interesting

[turbid osprey]

80% HYPE

[safe stirrup]

[brazen quarry]

Shit, we gotta adapt to be one of the cool guys

[safe stirrup]

Omg hey how are you doing bettybutterhandz | HYPE . How are you today

[brazen quarry]

I'm doing good, how friendly of you to ask zylbrad | HYPE, I still can't believe how lucky we are to be a part of this friendly world class guild

[safe stirrup]

Every day is truly a blessed day when we are all HYPE. All unified under one guild

[brazen quarry]

[opaque cape]

hype is like quantity over quality 😄

[opaque cape]

its time to go do some more runs and take the 1st place away

[turbid osprey]

Thats quantity over quality

[opaque cape]

1 run was enough

how did you die on 34 lol? that wave was super easy compared to some others

1 godofpb2 > all of hype

[lilac grail]

I want to say, all depend of what kind of comp you are using. Ramphyre was counter me hard on this one.

[opaque cape]

im also playing templar

double templar bird

and the rhamphyre didnt do anything 😄

also did you even get to 34? your score says 32 so you got to 33, or did you take a checkpoint and not get there again as i usually do 😄 ?

[lilac grail]

lost 2 times at 34 and my last checkpoint missed the 33.

you know the rule from the last checkpoint

but yeah. had fun to play that double templar comp. was pretty strong

[tulip tiger]

Wow. Just wow. I wish I was in that line up.

its all in powerpoint now ...as Arnie said ....i'll be back

[opaque cape]

do you hype guys want to do a challenge? On deck reset we both play 1 run, i play solo, you guys can play with however many people you have on your discord, 100$?

[split egret]

I have one question in arena I can withdraw 2 units per wave does this same rules apply in PvP?

[safe valve]

we shall soon see

[split egret]

Not the answer i was expecting

[safe valve]

What did you expect?
Someone guessing?

[split egret]

Well maybe some leak 👀

[coarse echo]

shh, top secret

[zenith mortar]

I didnt say much haha

[proven ember]

You can recall an unlimited number. Just you don't get 100% of the mastery points back

[split egret]

I see 👀

[opaque cape]

how much is the recall fee? is it a fixed 10 gold, or is it like 20% of unit cost?

[coarse echo]

for you the fee is 90%. for others, something less than that.

[opaque cape]

ah i see, to make the game more balanced and fair so others have a chance against me 😄

[coarse echo]

https://tenor.com/view/subtext-gif-5149682

[gentle bronze]

This is A+ banter

[opaque cape]

finally some appreciation for my masterpiece 😄

[gentle bronze]

It’ll be fun to see the different guilds go at it when pvp comes out

We should predict in order which guilds will have the best performances

[turbid osprey]

Ahaha nice one

[smoky python]

Amazing

[edgy bough]

No one willing to take on the god of PB2 👑🙌🏼

[edgy bough]

My best guess for first few weeks;

1. XBORG
2. HYPE
3. Phantom
4. Wildfire

Who am I missing?

Japanese guild up there for sure

[worn frigate]

I finally figured it out when I zoomed in on the screen.
This is really interesting!
@next flame You're already dead. hahaha🤣
I'd love to see HYPE and SA fight like this.

[gentle bronze]

Same here

Wildfire has more fun than all of them

[turbid osprey]

I put on a criteria that a guild must contain more than 5 members atleast

[next flame]

No pocket money this week bro?? 😭

[edgy bough]

You know the vibes. We crush OW, ILZ & Beyond but we are currently lacking in Arena 😭 watch out tho we’re coming for that leaderboard

[opaque cape]

i mean, according to the definition you need "considerable power" first, so i guess we qualify more than you 😄

[civic grotto]

Power comes in numbers too 🙂

[twilit storm]

@opaque cape To be honest..you fail even the first sentence..you are alone mate..no association..sorry..you have no ilv related topic in your discord..and first of all you are the only one left into ILLUVIUM..like a lonely star roaming into the void

[opaque cape]

so take the challenge 😄 ?

[twilit storm]

so find some friends and make a guild

[opaque cape]

ah the good old talk the talk but cant walk the walk

[turbid osprey]

You are always welcome to join the Reset Warriors tournament again @opaque cape , even better then 1v1s you dont even have to bet money from your side, only win if you win

[twilit storm]

sorry man...only SJUD is the true GOD..you are only the second..forevah

[cursive echo]

We cannot ignore the good level of @opaque cape

[twilit storm]

true..but forever the padawan..not the Sith Lord

[cursive echo]

PvP will be able to decide between players

[twilit storm]

even there he will lose his pocket dollabilla vs the true GOD

[cursive echo]

Sjud =God ?

[twilit storm]

ofc

[smoky python]

We have a team of 5. Me, smartass, shabim, Kyle, positivity

wtf is going on here today?

[smoky python]

LOL

[opaque cape]

these are the most pathetic scores i have ever woken up to

so our deck better be like 20 squizzes

[worn frigate]

What's really going on today with this? hahaha🤣

[opaque cape]

lol its a really rough wave

i died there too

i had the hard counter team too

but still lost to like 5 enemies alive

[brazen quarry]

Just one of those days 😄

[opaque cape]

this is cool though

its not a wave 35 where you have to grind forever to get back

only 22, can get there fast and retr

y

i think its gonna be a day where you have to grind max econ early on

cause since its only 22 and you need a really strong team already at that point, you cant drop any free MP

[brazen quarry]

Get it

[safe valve]

Wouldn't bullwark be Hard counter to fighter?

[opaque cape]

there arent 3 bw today, and if they have 7 fighter active with 9 fighter units then still no, cause of the 3rd attack doing extra dmg

[worn frigate]

Looks pretty difficult.
If this is not possible, what if tomorrow Tsunami3 Arcanite3 Fire3 Empath3?
I'll try tomorrow.

[opaque cape]

thats what im going for now, but im trying to greed gold, only got to wave 10 now with max econ

[gentle bronze]

This guys is insane!!

How does he do it?!

[opaque cape]

ooooeh, soda made it too

[worldly jolt]

How would someone pay to play a game like arena?

[opaque cape]

you buy up all the illuvials and augments

[worldly jolt]

I mean the cost is to obtain the “cards” for building the deck. I can’t think of a great way to pay anything more to play. I guess there could be something lame an entry to a competition pool or something.

But gambling…

[smoky python]

I posted this in ILZ Chat as a possibility
Ascendant (Leviathan too) Arena Tournaments Daily
Pay X Fuel -> New tourney fires whenever enough players are in queue
Prizes for Top X

This way more fuel is spent and Zero players get more of that 5% revenue
Arena players can grind as much as they want to make back the money they spent on investing in decks

Win Win

[worn frigate]

If you are paying to participate in a tournament, ETH is a better choice!
I think that would better rewards for the players.
I think many rewards would attract more users.
I bought T4 LAND when it was on sale but I think it would be difficult for LAND to be worth what it was then.

[smoky python]

Yup just a possibility on how Fuel could be used as an entry fee to benefit both arena players and land owners
I would want the prizes to be in ILV/ETH though in order to be able to sell for $$$

[worldly jolt]

Yeah. Fuels are to be used for in game expenses.

[twilit storm]

or if you are a boomer..to fill your gas tank and fade into the sunset

[brazen quarry]

Wow is SJUD finally accepting we have land? 😅

[lapis citrus]

It's time for another Reset Warriors Tournament. 1st place gets 50$ and I will do some participation rolls. I will be hosting in the illuvium voice channel. I look forward to seeing you all there.<t:1696032000:F>

[smoky python]

lol 49 minutes and over an hour

the lack of understanding is astounding

[turbid osprey]

smartass 4 runs are more than both me and ganggang runs combined, a wise man told me "Quality over quantity" :)

[smoky python]

And your runs wouldnt have even been allowed before

Also what happened to your quality runs when you played smartass 1v1 and kept losing?

Weird

[opaque cape]

your 1 run of 50 minutes has more gametime than my 4 runs lol

[next flame]

My first run today! Was fun! What did you get?

[smoky python]

I'm retired

fine, lets call a truce until pvp is out, then we'll continue the banter there :D, have a peace offering in the meantime of yesterdays wave 23

i lost all my checkpoints on 28 unfortunately, would have liked another attempt at 35 but hey

no dualeph, no rhamphyre, no enchanter, still made it up there

pretty close all things considered, 2 out of the top 3 spots go to the good guys 😄

all of you should be disqualified though for the time spent

anyway was fun, time to sleep 4:30 am, can we move deck reset up 2 hours or so?

[smoky python]

Good guys always prevail

[bronze canopy]

5/10 hype 8)..... Bottom 5 kekw

Or is the meme old now of making fun of hype

Im out of the loop

[smoky python]

They tried their best and that's all that matters Shabim

So did Phantom with a respectable 12th place finish

We are all friends now

It was a fun day thanks to everyone that played I hope you had fun to!

[opaque cape]

we have a truce until pvp, no more trashtalking eachother for now

[next flame]

Should u unblock shabim then?

I dont mind lol

Played well today bud gj!

[tulip tiger]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who joined . Shoutout to xborg bringing in the #1 spot. I had a good time even though sacrificing my sleep. We will do it again in 2 weeks. Thanks for the support. Be kind ✨️ and touch the grass.

[twilit storm]

shoutout to the internal ILV staff tester for the #1 spot. Nice and clean.

[gentle bronze]

Shout out to @tulip tiger for getting a comp scene started ahead of PvP! Awesome work and yesterday was really fun!! Can’t wait until we’re actually going up against each other 😉

[tulip tiger]

Thanks himberino

[mental stone]

Great work

[tulip tiger]

Next tournament will have a lot more d1sk rolls for participants. 🙂 I hope everyone had a good day.

[opaque cape]

@proud steeple is gonna win them all anyway

After you win a roll. I will take them off the list so this doesn't happen again . Hey you may even have a chance to win something. 😉

[opaque cape]

dont think ill play it again, got to 4:30 am for me

im too old

[tulip tiger]

Well I always appreciate the competition xborg brings to the table. Maybe one day you can win a Reset Warriors Tournament 🙂

[opaque cape]

i have the best wave/time by far

[tulip tiger]

3rd place is a good run pal.

[opaque cape]

@edgy flower is back, long time on see, where did you go? my favorite streamer, missed you 😄

[edgy flower]

Stream every Sunday on my twitch, but didn't announce it here coz a bit tilted about the delay and that awful 🐔 terror of the game

I tried 2 comps yesterday, and failed around 27 wave, then I spent all MP on 1 wave for chickens, press start 33 times and got to wave 32, I mean wtf

[opaque cape]

enchanter is OP in pve for sure, wonder how the pvp balance will be around chickens

[next flame]

Some fun waves today that firebird is crazy!

[brazen quarry]

Damn still top 10, didn't expect that

[next flame]

I did lose a kill though dam!

[opaque cape]

more than an hour extra time spent lol

i'll do another run soon, didnt really like the deck, too boring with a cuck/rhamphyre team

[twilit storm]

true

I will never use that crazy firebird..too unpredictable.

Only one run? chad

[fleet canyon]

Made it to wave 30. 2 hourses, chicken and bulwarks the rest

[next flame]

Nice work mate!

[fleet canyon]

Is that you have two teams here hype vs xborg?😁

[next flame]

TEAM = Together everyone achieves more!

We have a great guild of awesome people! Always helping each other get better!

[opaque void]

There Is absolutely 100 💯 percent no way PvP will come out before end of the year. Why ? Because the team will use all the time they have to use right until the last day... which makes sense imo.

[opaque cape]

well since it was already supposed to be out (multiple times) and when they delayed it this last time they said they "could probably still make it on time in q3 if they tried hard enough and rushed it a little bit", it stands to reason pvp should be out early in q4 if you ask me

but looking at that leak today, what the hell is that?

hp bars... doesnt feel all that useful to me, you can easily just show a simple number like in TFT where you start with 100 and the number drops, no need to waste time on such trivial things when we dont have a functioning product

but it's probably another department as usual, the graphics guys made some hp bar while the backend is still trying to make pvp happen i guess

[zenith mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/superstore-amy-sosa-winning-bets-bet-bets-gif-24311749

[opaque void]

I don't agree.... let's see. The team have said it will be out end of the year , they are constantly adding new stuff which imo will just mean more and more delays ...like for instant this bar. They can now take the full quarter to I what they want and not break any further deadlines . Just imo

[zenith mortar]

The only people working on the "health bar" are not working on things that are delaying or speeding up PB3/PVP launching. Grant played PVP and thought the health UI then wasnt good enough, so he worked on a newer version

[opaque void]

I like the health bar. Just saying it makes no sense at all to release the game before end of Q4 as why Ng take all the time you have to do what you need to do. Imo it wong be out until December. But that's just my view. What will be will be.

[lilac grail]

If they don't release PVP sooner. and wait until end of Q4. I doubt they will reach a release Open Beta in Q1 then. they said it will have low delay period, the trust will be even more affected if it's not coming in the early Q4.

[opaque void]

Let's see

[cursive echo]

too long wait....

[next flame]

For now we can just enjoy the arena! And when the game comes it will be even better than it would have been!

[proven ember]

PvP is getting closer, we have a few more things to polish but the end is in sight folks

it will be Q4 100%, very unlikely to not be the beginning/middle of it.

I can't wait to watch you folks play it, it's been amazing watching the team fall in love with their own game

[next flame]

Cheers for the update Ben everyone will be stoked once they have a crack at it I can only imagine!

[proven ember]

Yeah, gonna be insane

I'm looking forward to seeing you folks break the balance

Will be on high alert for the first few weeks - patching the crazy builds you folks discover

[next flame]

Will it have a leader board sir?

[proven ember]

thats the plan, we have a ranking system atm thats used for matchmaking.

no leaderboard yet, but very very keen to

Grant is also pushing for it

[smoky python]

No leaderboard?

[next flame]

Sounds pretty sweet to me mate!

[twilit storm]

no game..so far so..not a big deal ser

[mighty tulip]

Middle of Q4! Way you were talking sounded like a week or two 😅

[proven ember]

"early/middle"

[stiff seal]

Hello @proven ember does PVP release we also have the access to all illuvials & other stuffs? or random decks & stuffs or will it be connected to what you got on overworld?

[proven ember]

full access to all.

[mighty tulip]

Someone should attempt to play PvP using only the illuvials they catch in OW.

[opaque cape]

so nov 15th we should be good to go?

at the latest?

also, any plans on hosting pvp tournaments from illuviums side?

[brazen quarry]

Damn it felt like it could be any day now

[mighty tulip]

Yeah that's the vibe I was getting too.

Tbf they're not streaming yet. Least a week of that before we get to play

[brazen quarry]

[tulip tiger]

I hope so if not your stuck with me

[lilac grail]

Hope they won't stream and just release to public when it's ready.
i hate the feeling of not being able to join people having fun

[zenith bough]

Would be nice if the deck creator was released along with the rules. Could give us time to theory craft 😍

[safe valve]

I don't see that happening, but would be great 🙂

• some polishes (2weeks)
• implementing leaderboard (2 weeks)
• QA (2 weeks)
• add some safety for bad stuff happening
  And we are arround End of November, which would still be middleish of q4

Releasing early without leaderboard would be a bit dissappointing, so i hope they take their time to implement it before launch of pb3

[opaque cape]

well ben said early/mid, so thats now until nov 15 = 6 weeks max, otherwise it would have been mid-late

[brazen quarry]

[safe valve]

True that.
But just by saying "some polishes need to be done" it's at least 4 weeks if it's small polishes and everything works fine and "early" is already over.
Hope im wrong tho 🙃

[opaque cape]

nobody cares about polishes, we just want a playable game

[safe valve]

What if the polishes are making it to a playable game?

[opaque cape]

polishes by definition arent part of a playable game

thats the finishing touches, small improvements in graphics or optimization

[safe valve]

Google says it could be

[opaque cape]

yes, presentation/performance/ui

not core gameplay and basic mechanics, those have nothing to do with polish

[safe valve]

• bug fixing

[opaque cape]

we've had bugs for 2 years now, who cares?

[proven ember]

We care, its perhaps our most important release to date and it will be going in front of a tonne of new eyes.

the best option for the DAO is a solid release which receives praise

[opaque cape]

the most popular games are stuff like minecraft and roblox... it's not about the polishes and graphics, its about gameplay and fun

nobody is going to zoom in on the eyeballs and fur and sit there in awe looking at the hairs waving around for an hour

[proven ember]

At what point does polish = graphics only?

[opaque cape]

well the whole premise of a game is that it should be something playable that brings fun

[proven ember]

UI/UX flows that are simple to navigate, tooltips that can be read easily, stable gameplay that doesn't crash

[opaque cape]

seems like tooltips should have been in place in a project thats been 2 years work in progress tbh, not something you do last minute

[proven ember]

Tooltips are one of the last things, since you need to reach gameplay you're happy with. How can you design and implement tooltips if you don't know what stats you're gonna have, what info needs to be communicated.

[opaque cape]

well if you do it properly you have one single database source of truth, the tooltip is then something like "Rhamphyre flies to the skies and does X damage in a Y radius" where you read the X/Y values from a database

youre making it sound like you need to update those stats manually every single time a change gets made

[zenith bough]

Do you have a gameplay you are happy with now? Would be nice to look at the rules / theory craft decks. (Maybe even in deckbuilder)

[proven ember]

once again... I'm not saying anything like you're describing. Should there be an undo button

we've decided there should be.

because we've playtested and we wanted to be able to undo actions

[opaque cape]

ctrl+Z has been around for decades now

[proven ember]

good god

we had no idea, I'll let the team know

[opaque cape]

the example you gave of tooltips delaying the release is just bad

and makes it sound like an excuse tbh

also even if it's the case, seems to me that writing the tooltips is a 1 day job for 1 person

yeah who knows, maybe everything is way harder than i think

but to me it doesnt seem like having a functioning leaderboard where all you have to do is count the number of illuvials defeated is really that hard to fix 😄

same with writing some tooltip text

[zenith mortar]

I'm pushing to have the team builder released as early as possible for this reason. I been saying ever since I tested the team builder that people are going to enjoy that part of it a lot more than some think.

[zenith bough]

Yes! 🥰 my man 🙌🏻

[worldly jolt]

[opaque cape]

damn i was 2 seconds too slow

[smoky python]

Gotta play it again and try and time it better

[twilit storm]

no info bout yesterday leaderboard? what a shame. gg btw..very nice run SA, 36 with only one run maybe 2 is amazing 😉

[opaque cape]

yesterdays leaderboard i also had a hard first place with like +5 score

but i took the checkpoint and lost and couldnt be bothered to do it again, but as we discussed many times here, same wave = kinda a draw anyway, you have to 1up people at least if you want streetcred around here

[twilit storm]

ah I see I see, thx for the info

[smoky python]

Yah its called "pulling a smartass" for a reason. He stupidly restarts first place finishes and then fails to get back to it

[twilit storm]

top kills does not matter then if same wave, ok got it

[smoky python]

Still matters as thats all we have to go on for Survival, bug and all

If we had everyone post their screenshots of how many they killed on the final wave itd be better but no reason to do that

[twilit storm]

yeah true even today I had 9+more kills than what the "game" registered..but was way too short to get to 36. /respect

[agile laurel]

random thought but would be very cool and engaging if we are able to lock/unlock a character to an opponent during autobattle. I think this could make things more engaging. Maybe only allow it for the illuvial bonded to your ranger. Reminds me of the ant buster days

[opaque cape]

like banning a unit from the enemy deck you mean?

[agile laurel]

like a target, focus on fighting a specific enemy

[opaque cape]

uhhh thats what positioning is for?

[smoky python]

Yah

[opaque cape]

you cant focus fire your units once the fight starts

[agile laurel]

ik

positioning would still matter

[opaque cape]

have you ever been on survivor?

[agile laurel]

yeah been a minute

[opaque cape]

and do you like tai chi?

[twilit storm]

and kebab?

[agile laurel]

I like chai tea

and latte

there is a guy on the current season of survivor calling himself sifu

Knowing thats the only reason youre getting 1st

[twilit storm]

I only reply when he post

ah yess..it s the only reason for sure ser

not coz i am 2 waves ahead

gegeeee

[smoky python]

He's sitting in voice right now playing league

lol

[twilit storm]

and u see how much I care yes?

[smoky python]

I doubt you care at all

[twilit storm]

indeed, my only motivation is the" streetcred" 😆

[opaque cape]

i didnt tryhard a rhamphyre though

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/big-bird-juice-gif-21993473

[opaque cape]

this was my amazing comp

[smoky python]

Seems bad

[opaque cape]

quants thinks cause he played rhamphyre and found a random ult spot where R crits with broken Ex final abounding he is good 😄

while literally all he had to do with his comp is make 1 unit cast its ult 1 time 😄

im obviously presuming thats what he played

to me playing that unit with ex final abounding + ex saccarine feels like cheating and doesnt improve your skills in any way, so i dont even bother playing it

playing worse comps where positioning actually matters

[smoky python]

Quants and his friends think a lot of things

[opaque cape]

prove me wrong and tell me you didnt play rhamphyre, then we'll talk on equal ground 😄

im off, cya

[zenith mortar]

The excuses when you lose are hilarious

https://tenor.com/view/confused-look-smiles-no-way-kanye-west-gif-15310094

[tulip tiger]

Hmm. I see a trend here . Hyperion #1

[smoky python]

I actually disagree with Smartass about Rhamphyre. Love that unit

But only posting your score right before reset so Smartass wont beat you is pretty embarrassing

[stark swift]

https://tenor.com/view/winning-vin-fast-and-furious-winning-is-winning-gif-15880267

TBH though, "I didn't win because I impose artificial handicaps on myself for X, Y or Z reason" sounds like something my brain would cook up.

[smoky python]

Yah gotta use the best Illuvials given to you for that day

[stark swift]

In PoE we'd call em "ethical" builds lol

[smoky python]

To be fair, Exalted Final Abounding is bugged and incredibly OP
I dont think its OP enough to be banned like we did with Air Staff back in the day though

[zenith mortar]

Seems like a good strategy, why didn’t Smartass just get higher then it wouldn’t matter when someone played

[smoky python]

It's an advantage to know what target you are shooting for

[zenith mortar]

I thought the target is 40

[smoky python]

One of the reasons I dont like the Reset Warriors rules

40 isnt always possible

[zenith mortar]

Seems like beta energy targeting to quit when you think it’s highest

[smoky python]

Yah one could say its better to just try and max out no matter what

[zenith mortar]

@gentle bronze would never just quit because he thought “he was high enough”

[smoky python]

Jimberino already quit 😦

[zenith mortar]

Cause he beat it

[smoky python]

He says he will come back but I dont know

[zenith mortar]

And he wanted to give you guys a chance

Plus he’s saving up keyboards for pvp

[smoky python]

Council doesnt pay enough for that amount of keyboards

[twilit storm]

@opaque cape I never play Ramphy

[zenith mortar]

Shit with council pay he could buy like 100 keyboards

I think Jimbo should recreate the Panda video

[twilit storm]

Ramphy my ass

[smoky python]

That might be the worst positioning ive ever seen

[zenith mortar]

If it works it works

[smoky python]

Also Smartass has no room to complain if he wasnt playing Cuck

thats his own damn fault

and has nothing to do with Rhamphyre lol

[twilit storm]

winning with the worst positioning makes me laugh

[zenith mortar]

I wanna read his new excuse

[smoky python]

I already know it

[zenith mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-21631787

[smoky python]

He also hates cuck

Because as you can see you can position terrible and still do well with it

Cuck is great though cause you can JPP it

[zenith mortar]

*JSS

[smoky python]

😡

I think maybe gyro and cuck are the only JPP builds this patch but neither one comes close to the old one though

[twilit storm]

the triangle formation of 35 is a piece of art..the geometry is perfecto, ay?

[smoky python]

Old JPP was incredibly stupid

[zenith mortar]

How did you not get to 40

[stark swift]

Looks ethical to me

[zenith mortar]

You melted everyone

[smoky python]

Also shoutouts to how bad the other players must be to not get high with deck

Like cmon people

[smoky python]

Sometimes the waves are actually impossible

But with this deck it should be a 40

[smoky python]

You're from Cali you should know we dont have basements there

[twilit storm]

true..but I only said that SmartAss can t be "God" of this game..but i can slap him everytime he brags too much if it is what he s looking for

[smoky python]

I just dont like that you post it right before reset

Otherwise I have no issues with you beating him fair and square 🙂

[twilit storm]

And I said the "God" for me is more you than him

[smoky python]

@zenith mortar Told you 😉

[twilit storm]

I post as soon as i finish my run..

[smoky python]

You're cutting it pretty damn close then lol

[twilit storm]

If he made 38 he was still first right? no matter the timing

[smoky python]

I always found it weird to keep playing when already in first place

[twilit storm]

I was late for dinner yeah

[smoky python]

I'd always do a quick run for first place then only play again if someone beat it

[twilit storm]

fair

[smoky python]

If there were prizes on the line I would go for the maximum possible run though no matter what

Just feels weird competing against yourself

[twilit storm]

but if you best is beatable...it s not other fault am i right?

[smoky python]

Oh of course its not your fault

[zenith mortar]

Everyone still a a sweeping statement that doesn’t make sense, like best in the world

Although best in the galaxy does make sense

For some reason

[smoky python]

A "God" has no reason to learn something..he knows everything..this game build is quite old..nothin new to learn ..but humans always need to learn, you are right. Ask the Goat if you don t believe me. @smoky python is the only true GOD of this game even if he s retired. /salute

[opaque cape]

i wonder how many of you can beat wave 34 tomorrow in normals, cause i dont think anyone has a shot in ranked

unless youre the godofpb2 and can do it in sub 10 minutes of course 😄

[brazen quarry]

Why is it easier in normal? (Never played normal so I actually don’t know)

[opaque cape]

because you have infinite attempts

[brazen quarry]

More checkpoints?

[opaque cape]

and you dont have to grind 33 waves first before youre allowed to try again

why you trolling me 😄

[brazen quarry]

I’m not trolling, I never played normal. I really don’t know

You can start every wave over when you die?

[opaque cape]

even if you havent played normals, you know how it works right?

yeah you can just redo the wave you die on infinitely

[brazen quarry]

Not if you gonna keep replying like this

Oh cool, didn’t know that

[opaque cape]

or you can go back 1-2-3 or however many waves you need to remake your comp for the wave youre stuck on

i would estimate that reaching a certain level in normals is about 25 times as easy as in competitive mode

[brazen quarry]

Now I understand why people would play normal 🙂

[opaque cape]

sometimes you cant beat a wave in competitive, but you feel like youre so close

but cant muster the energy to tryhard and beat 35 waves again just to try 36

so you can just go back the next day and do 1 run to 36 and have 100x attempts at 36 to see if you could have done it

[brazen quarry]

Oh for sure, most of the times I don’t even use my checkpoints 😅

[opaque cape]

im willing to bet that nobody will manage to beat it tomorrow even in normals

consider it an open challenge to anyone out there 😄

i mean look at that beast

[smoky python]

I bet I can 😉

[opaque cape]

cause you have the recording 😄

[zenith mortar]

Lol

[tulip tiger]

Mmmm recordings

nice score dev, helping a second best is honorable, I was out with my wife.. can t play too much on saturday. you know somebody has a real life (damn). /respect the Xborg guild for the amazing run.

[reef basalt]

Wonder what this chat looks like when pvp drops lol

[opaque cape]

first quick run is on the board

surprise me when i wake up

[smoky python]

You gotta wait a couple hours so the Hype guys can finish their first run lol

[tulip tiger]

Hopefully it's more than 10 people

[tulip tiger]

Nice run 🙂

[reef basalt]

Depends on how bad the trash talking will be here lol

[smoky python]

Will be a lot more talk in private since we are so restricted here

[tulip tiger]

maybe we can form a guild for this . we can collab 🙂

First try 35. get back to work

[twilit storm]

Just posting info for the general public

[smoky python]

Hey and you actually didnt spend an hour doing it like most of Hype

Nice work

Still double the time but a wave higher

[lilac grail]

can do faster now. it was my first run :p

[twilit storm]

hours? days I d say...only when we are chitchatting...we aren t so "focused" and alone in the basement as others..you know

yeah days

[opaque cape]

ah nice, a challenge at least

i guess with a deck with 5 water + cuck its not superhard to get to the mid thirties

[smoky python]

Well it is for some people apparently lol

ah right, frendly banter

[tulip tiger]

Last day of 14 hr shifts and I'll be back soon.

Nice run @lilac grail

[opaque cape]

time for a little break

will get to 40 later

all these 9 minute runs are exhausting

[smoky python]

But how can you do so well if you arent spending all your time thinking about the wave?

Must be cheating

[edgy flower]

will stream so w8 your toxic advices in chat 😄

[twilit storm]

@smoky python nah..not cheating..just little tricks from insiders and ex players who know the game flaws. that s why he refuses to show gameplay..ofc..all fine.

[smoky python]

(I know it's not cheating)

It's about understanding the game

[brazen quarry]

[smoky python]

I miss my 3 minute runs 😦

[cursive echo]

this wave is too difficult @opaque cape

[coarse echo]

A wise person once said "Play good units"

[cursive echo]

but no one won this wave?

[coarse echo]

My honest suggestion though to anyone wanting to see a big number next to 'wave' is "see enchanter play enchanter." It's kinda good right now. If you want a challenge, then don't play enchanter.

[cursive echo]

vermi the weak point of my team

[coarse echo]

I thought I saw people passed it. Is this today's competitive wave?

[cursive echo]

no the waves of yesterday

[cursive echo]

I reply to this message

[coarse echo]

ah. I think he was the only one to beat it, but suspected it would be very hard to mimic the way he did it, hence the 'challenge' to try it.

That wave does look very hard

[cursive echo]

will it be changed for pvp?

[opaque cape]

i beat it about 3 or 4 times in total

in around 5 runs

had it down to about a 50/50 at the end

for 1 ilv i can post the recording of the wave, cant give out any more free info with hype tryharding so much to catch up to me 😄

[opaque cape]

the wave was legit SUPER hard, so dont feel bad if you cant get through that one

[safe valve]

kind of understand that.
but in a few weeks, when pvp is out, anyway nobody talking about survival anymore. 🤷

[opaque cape]

then i guess you dont need the solution and its ok 😄

i hope survival will stay even when pvp is out and even when the full game is up and running

i think the concept is cool where everyone has a fair starting position and the same opposing waves and need to make the best of what youre given that day

as opposed to bringing your own deck and OTPing some comp

[safe valve]

yea it will stay

maybe it will change, but was always planned to have the mode for noobs to get into the battle system if i remember right.

[smoky python]

Smartass was already WAY too generous in the past in giving out information to you guys

[opaque cape]

i tried to be nice, but they didnt want to be friends 😄

[smoky python]

Then you guys use it and talk shit pretending to be good

[opaque cape]

sssshhh we have a truce

once pvp comes out we will battle it out on the field

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/magneto-michael-fassbender-erik-lehnsherr-peace-no-peace-gif-5429220

[tulip tiger]

I hope survival stays around I thinks it's fun. Pvp will be different so I'm excited for the change

[tulip tiger]

I support this message

[safe valve]

yea? show me a post where i did that

[smoky python]

Survival should be staying

[smoky python]

Never said you in particular

[tulip tiger]

So reset Warriors Tournament stay? Yayyyyÿ

[worldly jolt]

My understanding was that the plan was to turn survival mode waves into individualized randomization. Do you remember something like that? Perhaps it would be good to have two types of survival mode…

[smoky python]

I'm not sure what it will look like exactly

[safe valve]

Ah, thought when you say "you guys" i am included

[opaque cape]

wave 39 is hard

full t3 except for bird and 22 augments

[tulip tiger]

Nioceeeeee

[opaque cape]

turns out a titanor with omega can crit will fck up your day

[tulip tiger]

A pissed off beefy rhino i would hope so

[opaque cape]

titanor literally did 6k damage to me with 1 cast, he hit like 7 units i think

[tulip tiger]

Oh miii .. interesting

[smoky python]

14 minutes is pretty slow

[worldly jolt]

He did say it’s pretty difficult

[reef basalt]

Havent seen JPP in awhile in these leaderboards. Why so?

[smoky python]

The build I used last patch got nerfed

You can do pretty nice 7-10 min runs now but nothing like the 2-4 min runs

[reef basalt]

At least you got what you asked 😄 They finally fixed it hahaha

[smoky python]

Yah it was pretty absurd. That patch was super imbalanced

I'm sure on certain days I could do a 4 min JPP run but it would be a lot more luck based than automatic

Just need 4 more members sclub and you got your own club!

Why would I need 4 more members?

[twilit storm]

SJUDlance sounds cool af

[smoky python]

SJUDer, SJUDerus, SJUDlance

[twilit storm]

deal

[opaque cape]

no challengers today?

[smoky python]

😦

[upbeat willow]

I see one

[opaque cape]

no you dont

its still the same wave with the same random score

why is it so hard for you guys to understand lol

you need to be a full wave ahead to be considered winning

[upbeat willow]

according to you

[opaque cape]

according to anyone, the score on the board is RANDOM

why do you think youre in first when you are on the same wave and with the same score, but with a worse time?

[upbeat willow]

Better eco. At least that was the explanation I got before.

[opaque cape]

how much does your endgame scoreboard say in lobby?

[upbeat willow]

lobby just count waves beat x20

endscreen shows a higher count

[opaque cape]

im talking about the eco

which you only see in the lobby screen at the start when you open the game

it shows the exact same

[opaque cape]

so no - not better econ to be first

[upbeat willow]

that's exactly what I said
(810-150)/33 = 20
It doesn't account for the actual in-game eco

[opaque cape]

ah ok

but long story short, you need to be 1 wave up to be considered winning the day

so i guess ill just go back in the evening and beat the wave so there is no misconception

[tulip tiger]

i hope everyone has a good day 🙂

[cursive echo]

24 was very underwhelming, beat it first time seeing it, dont know why you all die there 😄

[smoky python]

Do you really not know why they died?

[opaque cape]

cause they didnt JPP?

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-simply-a-difference-in-skill-frog-dancing-skill-gif-21877908

[opaque cape]

same thing

[smoky python]

Only 28?

[opaque cape]

still not great, but at least not 24 😄

i lost all my checkpoints early on greeding econ on first run

[smoky python]

Ah

[opaque cape]

i thought i would need full build at 24

since noone was beating it

so i had to stay above 180 gold at all times

[safe valve]

how many interest was it? 5% each round?

[opaque cape]

1 per 20 unspent, so yes kind of 5% but with thresholds

[cedar cloak]

Is there a resource where I can check the effectiveness of different affinities against each other, as well as which classes counter each other the best?

[opaque cape]

you can see it ingame, will screenshot

[brazen quarry]

Damn, I did not know that

[smoky python]

Don't worry it's not important

[brazen quarry]

Yeah tbh I didn't use that chart in ages

[cedar cloak]

Broooooo.... you fucking kidding me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[opaque cape]

well i improved it a little bit, not sure how to beat 33 yet, its a very balanced wave with fighters/3 mystic/5 earth/wildfire... might have to try a different comp

[brazen quarry]

lol I'm top 10 with that run?

[opaque cape]

yeah everyone seems to be hardstuck on 24 lol

[brazen quarry]

Looks like we are just back down to 15 players

[vernal forum]

toxic is best avoided.

[brazen quarry]

Toxic is quite strong

[opaque cape]

toxic is the strongest composite, on par with steam i would say

toxic/behemoth ranger with nature sword + 3 fighter + 3 bullwark is probably the strongest unit in the game

[brazen quarry]

[tulip tiger]

Nice run fellas

[opaque cape]

thats yesterdays top wave, did you beat it?

no I didn't succeed...
