[zenith bough]

Yes

She’s loaded

[west plume]

Yeah

Should be fun

Also lol, will be on the board

[edgy bough]

Sorry I’m going to wipe the floor with your PVP deck?

[west plume]

We both know I am not wiping shit

[dark scaffold]

HEY!!

[west plume]

Did you play today?

[west plume]

Hey buddy

A bit aggressive hey

[dark scaffold]

is this sorted by importance and place in the line?

[west plume]

Not sure what you are talking about buddy

Your always first

Importance ofcourse

Honestly, I need a first win that's why I put Fubar first

[dark scaffold]

now i like it

[west plume]

No offence fubar

[edgy bough]

Let’s be honest neither am I. I picked you cos we seem at similar levels 🥹

I’m gonna get rekt the first month of PVP, but im a fast learner

[zenith bough]

You should try @opaque cape . If he plays pvp like he plays poker it’s an easy win

[dark scaffold]

not if can help with that 👀

@west plume i need to give you a head start

i will show you something

but DO NOT show to anyone else tho

[west plume]

That was a nice gesture, looking forward to it.

[west plume]

Awesome

Use the stealth text

[edgy bough]

Ur going to help me? Or you also suck?

[west plume]

Is it more PVP gameplay?

[dark scaffold]

||have i told you a story on how i have beaten Kieran today in the tournament? TWICE!!! 🤣 ||

i used this deck:
[disclaimer: **PEOPLE DO NOT WATCH!! **its only for Lars and Zejaq!!]

[west plume]

Looks like a Techsupport position is opening up soon😆

[edgy bough]

It’s a thing of beauty 🤩

[west plume]

Can not wait to play around with the Team builder

And the new art looks amazing

[dark scaffold]

now you both can destoy everyone... or atleast Kieran 🤣

[west plume]

What does the arcane sash do?

[zenith bough]

Team size down to 25. 😲

Interesting

[dark scaffold]

its cool, i like it

[zenith bough]

Can you tell how it’s better? I would think the more the merrier

[west plume]

But why not fill the last 5 slots?

[zenith bough]

There is 25 max

[west plume]

I thought it was 30

[dark scaffold]

cuz it makes you think about your deck when you make it, you are not ending up with a deck that allows you to use whatever you want

[west plume]

Nevermind says 25/25🙂

[zenith bough]

Emphasis on was

[west plume]

Yes

Always better to jump to conclusions out of the gate

[zenith bough]

I see. Doesn’t that make the matchup more decided from beginning though? Cause you can’t adapt in the same manner

[zenith bough]

Yell first . Ask questions later

I had a boss once who lived by that motto

[west plume]

Those are great😆

[dark scaffold]

hmm, with 25 i still have few ways to open and few ways to react to my opponent

[zenith bough]

I hope you don’t boss anyone 😂

[west plume]

Was for 8 years, but never like that.

[zenith bough]

Much better having your kids bossing you around

[zenith bough]

Awesome. I was hoping each match would play out differently than the last, so you wouldn’t always place the same stuff in the same order 😃

[dark scaffold]

If you play against @tribal glade , you totally can 🤣

[zenith bough]

https://tenor.com/view/shooting-mahesh-babu-cowboy-guns-gif-19996097

[dark scaffold]

but for Lars, i think i will try to surprise him with something new everytime ^^

also

we do have a real new pro in our team

@west plume this is another tip, let me introduce you to best team builder in the Illuvium, @patent slate

[west plume]

Just promise you won't go easy one me.

Well hello Vincent

Is he good?

[dark scaffold]

he will play against you, say some cryptic stuff, disapere for few hours, come back, and destroy you with his new team saying something like "oh i just created this one, not sure if any good"... and you ded

[west plume]

Lol

Pvp sounds awesome

[dark scaffold]

||also i would ask him for leaks based on his discord tags 🫣 ||

[west plume]

If only us little people could play too

[limber scroll]

Only checked the black screens 😂

[zenith bough]

It will be the first day you’ll be able to play PvP, according to my horoscope

[dark scaffold]

the point of them is... it private conversation with lars, ahh this ppl

[west plume]

Really don't like your horoscope

[zenith bough]

Leaves are usually correct

[dark scaffold]

@limber scroll you officially granted to join the super secret conversations for next 60 minutes 🫡

[west plume]

Thoughts? @zenith mortar

[limber scroll]

Unfortunately I have to decline. I am cooking

[dark scaffold]

||@west plume be carefull, we are not alone||

[zenith mortar]

I think thats when i'm moving my grandma back home

[west plume]

Oh

[zenith mortar]

if thats what you were asking

[west plume]

Yes

It was definitely that

Grandparents are precious people.

[zenith bough]

I’m getting mixed readings now 🤔

[west plume]

Lost mine way too early.

[zenith mortar]

Thanksgiving is that week too

Be thankful

My wife makes a mean Green Bean casserole

[zenith mortar]

Ohhh thats bomb

[west plume]

Haven't tried that one, she is not a fan of Onions🥲

What is the comp for today?

[dark scaffold]

[west plume]

In an hour ish

[dark scaffold]

oh daaaamn @safe valve , just logged in to check whats the comp ^^

[edgy bough]

It’s now in my calendar

[zenith bough]

I have already called in sick on work that day

[edgy bough]

Yes I think I feel a cold coming on for that date myself

[safe valve]

was just luck 😄

[dark scaffold]

i do not believe is such a thing

pure 🧠

[safe valve]

even a damaged watch shows the right time twice a day 😄

how far did you get peter?

you even play pve anymore if you can play pvp?

[dark scaffold]

i died on 18, saw everyone above 19 and decided its a good time to bail before ppl see that i have tried ^^

[dark scaffold]

i do and i still will, this is different type of fun, i really like PvE, i fire up a podcast in the backgroun and chill with Arena, and every weekend i train with @solemn mountain @brazen quarry and @tulip tiger

[safe valve]

haha... i call that smart play

[safe valve]

oh, never saw that... you do on hype server?

[west plume]

Its about to get hot in here.

[dark scaffold]

nope, here iin voice, usually 8am (CET) sat&sun, we stream, we talk, we have fun, join if you can!

[west plume]

damn Volante tier 3 is no joke

Stage 3 T0 ofcourse

iam not a noob

what wave for leaderboard?

[upbeat willow]

19 a few hours ago

[west plume]

Oh

The important thing is to participate

[dark scaffold]

you go 27 today, at least

[west plume]

Yes

[upbeat willow]

yup, 28 is where it gets tricky

[west plume]

that peskey 28

[upbeat willow]

Enemy team on 28 if you're curious

[west plume]

everyone should go into Offtopic and rate Linkey new setup

[west plume]

Thank you

I wont be needing it

[zenith mortar]

ooof 7 rogue 7 fire

[dark scaffold]

we busy watching your commentary of your game, he can wait 👀

[west plume]

Wave 7 was a bit tuff ngl

End of the day we play for fun not to climb leaderboards.

Dont zoom in

nevermind the picure got alot bigger when pasted

[zenith mortar]

43?

nice

#bestintheworld

[west plume]

supposed to be a 33 but dident want to over do it.

[safe valve]

Thats 8am for me, but yea if it happens i'm awake i'll join for sure 🙂

[turbid osprey]

That means officially #1 right? 🥇

[west plume]

I belive you are correct.

this is the most supportive channel on Illuvium Discord

[zenith mortar]

Def seems like we turned a corner today

Maybe we rename it #positive-arena-vibes

[west plume]

We should celebrate Rich

With

a

PVP gameplay leak🥳

[zenith mortar]

As soon as Kieran says the word/ we probably have a better chance pushing @low halo though honestly

[smoky python]

Stop leaving me out of the fun

😡

[smoky python]

This is strictly wrong

You should never have less than 30 cards in your deck

*unless you dont have money to complete it rip 😦

[zenith mortar]

Speaking in absolutes about your opinion doesn’t make it right, although I’ll say I’m not sure how I feel about it since the change. I’ve had to adjust my teams def adds a layer of complexity

[smoky python]

Sorry to tell you but its just right

[zenith mortar]

Lol once again this is your opinion… sorry this isn’t MTG or whatever you played

[smoky python]

Yes and my opinion is worth quite a bit more

Why would you purposely not want more options?

You can put 5 random units in your deck and nothing changes but hey maybe 1 time out of 1000 youll use one

[zenith mortar]

I just told you

[smoky python]

This is what Smartass was saying. We try to help people and then get told no lol

[hollow citrus]

This is not helping.

This is a one sided conversation, people had a good time talking to each other before with no issues

[smoky python]

This is Arena chat.
Someone is using a bad strategy
I'm pointing it out so others dont follow it

[hollow citrus]

Bad strategy to use the 25 cards of the 25 cards allowed

i'm confused

[smoky python]

That is my bad if things have been changed. Decks were 30 cards before

[hollow citrus]

you were replying to a conversation talking about this specific change. That's were the confusion comes from

[smoky python]

See everyone it's even possible for me to be wrong

Just woke up and scrolled through the long ass talk and thought he was playing 25 just to give himself less options

Although why its been changed down to 25 we can also talk about.....

Cause yes that is worse and hopefully it gets reverted back to the 30 card limit instead

[brazen quarry]

[edgy bough]

I never thought I’d see the day 🤯

[smoky python]

I'm a terrible morning person

[next flame]

The arena is a lot of fun today It seems 32 is a hard wave to pass wondering if @safe valve can smash it again!!

[mighty tulip]

@zenith mortar have f2p decks been tested in PvP yet or you guys just using all illuvials rn? Wondered how balanced/fun PvP feels with just T0s.

[smoky python]

Remember there will be free starter decks as well that will contain more than just T0s (although not much more haha)

The intent is still to not have them be very competitive

It should still be more interesting than just playing with the same couple of T0 Illuvials though

[mighty tulip]

Fair point though it's still probably a good idea to run a T0 tournament or two internally just to identify any issues.

[smoky python]

Yah there is also the random free rotation which we dont know how expansive it will be

So maybe a testing session with T0s + 3 random illuvials

[safe valve]

Oh no
Can't handle the pressure

[west plume]

Will have a look later tonight and report back🫡

[next flame]

Lots to choose from toxic enchanter mystic no tsunami today though! Pick your poison lol

[next flame]

@west plume are you doing the phantom comp to bro? You should join if not it's a lot of fun even some prizes to be won!

[west plume]

No no, I think I can count on one hand how many times I have gone past Wave 20🤭

[next flame]

Won't take ya long to learn the game mate lots of good guilds around all sharing and helping each other learn to get better at the arena! We are streaming most resets in the HYPE guild more than welcome to come chill and watch, ask questions!

[west plume]

I usually have an hour or two to play in the evenings(not every day)
How many guilds are there that's Arena focused?

[smoky python]

Xborg and then everyone else

[next flame]

Most days it's the same for me mate 2 little ones keeping me busy! Most of the guilds are about arena until PvP comes out so you should do your research first! This is my first auto battleler and I've only played for 6 months so won't take you long to learn if you got a good bunch of people around to help you for free!

[safe valve]

Looks Like i'm gona have to enjoy toxic before @proven ember nerfs them because he can't beat em 🙃

[next flame]

Why what's Ben playin the same deck every game?

Anyone playin 7 fire seems to be in every run atm!

[safe valve]

@west plume this tournament is tailored for newcomers.
Wave 20 should be beatable with having just a few hours of Tutorial with a knowlegable community member

[safe valve]

Idk, but Looks Like he got humilated by toxic AT least once 😄

[next flame]

Seems legit tarren getting clapped lol

[west plume]

That's actually a slap in the face

[next flame]

Come have a chat no such thing as a silly question!

[safe valve]

Even a built like a hulk, equipped with battle axes, bald Viking is allowed to ask for help. 😉

Imminent feels like days away?👀

[brazen quarry]

minutes

[zenith bough]

I would define as hours

[west plume]

Wow

Love the energy

[zenith bough]

Like yours more

[brazen quarry]

Imminent refers to something about to happen. And anything immanent (with an "a" in there) is inherent, like that good attitude you were born with. To keep them straight, remember that an eminent person is successful, like that rapper Eminem. Something imminent is going to happen in a minute.

[west plume]

Ok

Ill take it

So its close

[west plume]

So PVP today?

[zenith bough]

I like how you think

[brazen quarry]

Told you

[zenith bough]

Must be true

[west plume]

That's how I read it

And Ben is smart

[brazen quarry]

That's basically what Ben said

[west plume]

Yea

[zenith bough]

Go to download button

And test

[west plume]

Taking the day off tomorrow

[west plume]

Spamming F5 as we speak

[brazen quarry]

I'm calling in sick tomorrow to be sure. Thanks Ben

[west plume]

Ben is the Best

Probably my favourite CC, because of his awesomeness

[zenith bough]

It’s been more than a minute now.

[proven ember]

😂😂

[zenith bough]

What’s the status?

[brazen quarry]

Should we call a mod to give him a warning about spreading misinformation?

[zenith bough]

Something has gone wrong in the upload sir.

[proven ember]

But yeah for reals it's not far now. At last

[west plume]

Honest mistake Ben

[zenith bough]

“It’s all in your head”😂

[brazen quarry]

You should take a few weeks off Ben, these mistakes must come from all the hard work. We can wait

[west plume]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-sunakook-tired-exhausted-gif-24687868

[proven ember]

Very kind!

[zenith bough]

Please stop spreading misinformation

[proven ember]

I'm actually gonna go sleep for a month once we've got it out and had a few post release balances passes

[brazen quarry]

I care more about Ben than PvP 🤷‍♂️

[zenith mortar]

I dont

[brazen quarry]

Ok, selling my tokens now. Thanks for the heads up

[west plume]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-yes-of-course-gif-19803794

[west plume]

What's the best setup for early mid game on today's play?

[coarse echo]

lesser fire atippo

unless you're asking about survival, then I have no clue

[safe valve]

Probably not the best, but rogues/figther to Start with and fill up with bullwarks is always a good play if possible.

[upbeat willow]

I'd say either Fighters or Air (pretty cheap to get to 5 of either).
You also have the Toxic Scorpion and Enchanter Chicken which are both pretty strong.

[west plume]

Thank you all🥳

Will let you know how it goes😃

[west plume]

Bringing the pain yet again

[west plume]

is that animation in the game?

[zenith mortar]

no

[west plume]

ok

Wen PVP

Imagine the relief when PVP is out😀

[brazen quarry]

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

Let's just hope and rub our balls made from crystal it's sooner rather than later lol

[brazen quarry]

It's already later 😉

[next flame]

Need to change ur meme then to later than later?

[smoky python]

Become an influencer

I'll watch your first stream but youll have to earn my follow

[brazen quarry]

Tarren doesn't like me, I can't

[smoky python]

rip

[next flame]

Lol

As long as you like tarren that's all that matters!

[next flame]

If they are partnering with an esport team wondering if they are going to be the ones streaming and playing?? Maybe you can make an esport team Betty?

I'll join your team for free! I like you!

I don't know any esport team

[next flame]

Make one!

[brazen quarry]

But then again gamestop is also unknown here

I have one called the Rat Gang but we mostly retired a while back maybe I could get it going again? Wanna be on my team bro?

Sometimes if you wait too long, you picture it better in your head and you are actually disappointed when it finally happens

Just picture sjub in the gym! You will never be disappointed again!

The game is going to be amazing we all know that!

Fing empaths

[safe valve]

How far you got?

Used 2x all checkpoints AT wave 26... Fing fliishs

[west plume]

i dont want to say

its bad

[safe valve]

Oh that low

Use Air doka, Air grokko, scorpion ranger-fire-sword, Air rogue... So you get pretty cheap pretty far

If i remember right, i had wave 13 or so 300 MP left to spend

[west plume]

Cheers,will try that one

[west plume]

300left? i think i had like 1

[safe valve]

3 Air 3 figther pretty Nest for early game

Your Ranger just sweeps everything

You can even Make him berserker later and add another fighter +berserker

[west plume]

Thanks for that

[safe valve]

Good job mate 🙂

[worldly jolt]

Good find. Did you submit a bug report already?

[shadow lion]

https://tenor.com/view/so-true-yes-of-course-gif-19750456

just did it via ingame bug report (:

[limpid gale]

How can be 10 seconds 1 round?

33 waves 6 minutes is it bug or smthing?

[civic grotto]

It only counts preparation time

[smoky python]

Not a bug

[manic musk]

Rogue team?

[smoky python]

I thought you werent going to post here anymore?

[edgy bough]

Who is currently the very best Arena player?

[safe valve]

@west plume i feel, he just hasn't unleashed his competitiveness yet

[unkempt cypress]

Yes saw his win against 43 mindblowing 😜

[edgy bough]

God of PB2

[zenith mortar]

Nice run

[gentle bronze]

That might be intentional considering how "memeish" the whole line is

[vernal bloom]

its error or something and thhen reconnect and timer resets

or actuually a very fast

doesnt look intentional tho

Hello there

Hello

[mental summit]

Why can't I send screenshots?

[smoky python]

Might not be able to post screenshots until you hit a certain Discord level

[mental summit]

Damn, and what is it?

Wanted to share todays top 1 😛

Well, guess it will come in time. Thx for fast answer sir, gn

[zenith mortar]

Level 5 I believe

[mental summit]

That's a lot of talking 🙂

[cedar jungle]

Woo! Rank 1 arena! Probably last about 5 min, but still! First time getting there 😄

[zenith mortar]

Nice work!

[cedar jungle]

It's all thanks to you and your beta key Rich ;D

[mental summit]

Good morning mates

[zenith mortar]

Gm

another run for 1st place?

[cunning fractal]

This is madness 🙊

[mental summit]

got it from first try 😉

for now I guess

[waxen swan]

zz

[mental summit]

How it comes you've killed 208 units at higher wave against mine 212?

[woven flint]

ranking and kill count are bugged since one and a half year.
During PB1 we sayed that if you reach the same wave, it s a tie, because of this bugged leaderboard

[mental summit]

I see, thx

[turbid osprey]

He might had one or more rounds that ended up as ties

[vernal forum]

Also, there's an exploit, that if used will lower your kill count.

[twilit storm]

exploit called "use the checkpoints" maybe?

[mental summit]

Played again. Your move now guys ^^

[west plume]

Where did you rank?

[mental summit]

First

[west plume]

Dude you have been here a week

Also good job

[mental summit]

Well, I play competetive TFT, but thx dude 🙂

[west plume]

Oh

Welcome

[mental summit]

I think when PVP comes its gonna be HUUUGE

[west plume]

Have you been in the cryptonspace for long?

[mental summit]

Even PVE is so deep and interesting

Since 2018

[west plume]

How would you compare it to TFT?

[mental summit]

I bought ILV when it costed around 600$ xD

[west plume]

Difficult without the PVP aspect yet but your initial thoughts?

[tribal glade]

Oh sick, you gonna be competing in December?

[mental summit]

Well, there are similar mechanics but they are pretty different for now

[mental summit]

Competing in what? If there is some sort of tourney, I'm definitely in

[pliant vale]

Any information about what’s to come for overworld gameplay ? Sometimes it just feels like a running simulator. There is not much to do in the overworld

[west plume]

Looking forward to your feedback on PVP when the comes the next couple of weeks, right? @tribal glade

[pliant vale]

Would be cool to see some actual illuvitars walking around and u need to shoot them in order to activate the battle mode

[tribal glade]

TFT Global Lan tourney in Vegas. A few of the top tier TFT players I know are going there

[mental summit]

Man, I'd like to, but I'm from Ukraine xD

[tribal glade]

and definitely! Keen to hear your thoughts when PVP is out @mental summit. Been speaking to quite a few TFT streamers and they seem very excited for PVP which is exciting to hear.

[tribal glade]

ah I understand

[mental summit]

For sure, I've also detected some nasty bugs

Not sure 100% how to execute them, but I'll give report when I can

[mental summit]

Great. Gonna have new pc soon and gonna stream tft and ilv both 🙂
Btw, whom did you talk to?(I mean streamers)

[gritty wren]

is there a good site to see what all the combo bonuses are? like for fire and bulwark and so

[gentle bronze]

wdym?

Illuvial master explains all of them

[gritty wren]

What i get for 3 plant illvuials

ah ok i take a look thx

[gentle bronze]

np ser

[gritty wren]

10 Grit & Resolve
what does that really mean?

5 Dodge Chance is that 5% or what

[tribal glade]

Won't just reveal just yet but it'll be cool to see when PVP drops!

[tribal glade]

Do you stream already?

[mental summit]

Not yet

[tribal glade]

let me know when you do start!

[gentle bronze]

If you need any help feel free to just tag me in #1023650034593570917 with any questions

[mental summit]

Sure thing mate 🙂

[mental summit]

I actually don't know what some stats mean(like grit,resolve) only got guesses. Can I read the description somewhere?

[gentle bronze]

Illuvial master

[gentle bronze]

I would look at it like grit is physical defense and resolve is magic resist

If thinking in TFT terms is easier

[mental summit]

Then what's the difference grit/phys def and resolve/magic def?

I mean there are already base stats armor mres

[gentle bronze]

Some Illuvials are mostly physical damage and others are mostly "magic" or energy damage

[gentle bronze]

there isnt

[twilit storm]

Grit
Reduces each instance of Physical Damage received by 1 per Grit.

[gentle bronze]

or is there

maybe im confused

[twilit storm]

Resolve
Reduces each instance Energy Damage received by 1 per Resolve.

[mental summit]

I think it would be awesome to have ingame description, wouldn't it?

[gentle bronze]

Illuvialmaster website has a dictionary

There will be

just not enough dev time atm and prioritizing getting PvP out to the public is much more important atm

but at release there should be one

[mental summit]

That's soooo cool

Looking forward that moment

[gentle bronze]

for now a lot of that information will be held by 3rd parties

[mental summit]

That's pretty ok, tft works like that to

[coarse echo]

@gentle bronze pls don't spread fake news about stats. tag me if necessary. @mental summit grit is flat physical damage reduction, resolve is flat energy damage reduction. Physical resist is percent physical reduction, energy resist is percent energy reduction.

[upbeat willow]

while you're here,
is there an order in which those applies?
is the flat reduction applied before or after the percentage one?

[coarse echo]

flat first, percentage second

[mental summit]

Thx mate, I've already went deep on the dictionary 😛

[gentle bronze]

TY Lord Kyle! Please have mercy on my dreadful soul it was simply a misunderstanding.

[coarse echo]

You are forgiven my child

[zenith bough]

I mistakenly said the team builder would be out today. Could you correct this too with correct information? Thanks

[versed needle]

Whats the estimated launch date for arena?

Will "battle in the beyond" be connected?

[zenith bough]

PvP is estimated for Q4 2023. Open beta is estimated in Q1 2024

[zenith bough]

Beyond is only a profile picture project

[versed needle]

@zenith bough
Kieran and/or grant gave those timelines?

[zenith bough]

It’s from the roadmap #📣〕announcements message

[zenith bough]

If you hear any timelines from Kieran, they are quite accurate after adding 200% to it

[versed needle]

[waxen swan]

are all these stats viewable somewhere

stuff like precision savegary etc

[coarse echo]

Better in game descriptions will likely come in the future. For now, IlluvialMaster has a pretty solid dictionary page that covers a lot of things (not necessarily every keyword)

[wide eagle]

Curious, why was it done this way? Usually it's the other way around so they synergize with each other more efficiently?

[waxen swan]

that would be too op

[coarse echo]

if it was the other way, the flat numbers would have to be too small to be meaningful by themselves. With this system, flat reduction is good against small sources of damage and percentage is good against large sources of damage.

[waxen swan]

alr ty

[wide eagle]

But raw numbers can be adjusted if they are made to work together.

It just feels better for the player if the stats work well together and creates a better feel building your team. Just my 2 cent

[lean ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-damn-damn-damn-damn-right-dame-time-gif-18029769

[proven ember]

Doing no damage isn't very fun. In a single player game making things synergise really well is usually a positive. But because we're PvP we don't just evaluate from 1 players POV.

Having them be so synergistic would become very very difficult to balance and would sometimes result in unfun gameplay

[wide eagle]

As I said numbers can be tweaked if this synergy gets reversed. I don't know why you mention single player when games like league and wow apply the % first and then the flat number, it just feels better when you make your build. Anything after that can be balanced additionally

I get it that it will take more effort to balance, but small things like this are worth the effort usually. It brings more soul to the game when things work and behave properly

[upbeat willow]

Applying % first and then flat numbers require additional checks to prevent going into negative damage, basically enforcing a minimum damage dealt (or no damage).
Doing it the other way guarantees you'll never go into negatives (assuming the flat reduction can never go above the weakest Illuvial's attack stat).

[stark swift]

It would be pretty rough to do percentage then flat, you could effectively remove the relevance of fast, low damage attackers. Would be super hard to balance for, the result would probably be that just % or just flat in isolation were underpowered, so using both or none could be a more binary decision based on what you were up against.

Examples are helpful when looking at this. 3 scenarios, one for relatively high damage, one for relatively low damage, one for very low damage. Numbers just for the sake of the example. 30% damage reduction, -30 flat damage taken. Relatively high damage = 500, relatively low = 100, very low = 50.

High Damage

% before flat
500 * 0.7 = 350 - 30 = 320 | Total DR = 36%

Flat before %
500-30 = 470 *0.7 = 329 | Total DR = 34.2%

Note: As damage approches inf, these two methods converge to the percentage reduction (the flat becomes irrelevant in either calc).

Low Damage

% before flat
100 * 0.7 = 70 - 30 = 40 | Total DR = 60%

Flat before %
100 -30 = 70 * 0.7 = 49 | Total DR = 51%

Very Low Damage

% before flat
50 * 0.7 = 35 - 30 = 5 | Total DR = 90%

Flat before %
50 - 30 = 20 * 0.7 = 14 | Total DR = 72%

In every scenario, % before flat results in more extreme values of damage reduction. It becomes notably more potent at low damage values than the alternative, and makes scenarios where no damage is dealt at all possible with less investment.

[mental summit]

True that. Nice calculations as an example mate

[wide eagle]

I don't like this arguement cause it is fixable with enough effort, if other games can do it so can we

[upbeat willow]

I didn't have time to type down examples, but Blickter had the same reasoning so look at his post.

[wide eagle]

You have to take into account that having both % and flat damage reduction takes alot of resources, you cannot go for it from the get go.

You also have to introduce the proper counters, add % defense penetration and flat penetration to work the same, so they cancel each other with the proper counters.

So it will end up being a game of cat and mouse who can outsmart the other with their builds. But to say % first flat later will break the game cause numbers will go negative or smth is just lazy arguement

[upbeat willow]

It's not lazy.
Doing flat last forces unneccesary extra calculations, making balancing more difficult. For no gain whatsoever.

[wide eagle]

No gain maybe for you, for gamers who like to theory craft and make different builds, this will be appreciated

[upbeat willow]

you can theorycraft just as much on both versions

[stark swift]

There's a lot of extra complexity not covered there.

Still, when you boil it down to fundamentals, if you want a reasonable maximum reduction to be in the realm of 70%, using % then flat calculations means each stat will need to be significantly weaker than it otherwise could be. This means less effective options for the player to counter either large damage with only %, or less effective options to counter small damage with only flat reduction.

I acknowledge that stacking damage reduction probably isn't something most people want to actively do (though I absolutely would, I love degenerate gameplay styles).

[wide eagle]

Yes but if they stack properly it gives u better and more options, it's also more fun in the end

[upbeat willow]

"properly" is a matter of definition
flat reduction before % reduction is just as much "properly" as the other way around
you only have to do your calculating/theorycrafting based on how the system works
it's really no different regardless which you choose

[wide eagle]

Agreed here, it does add extra complexity on the balance side but I think it's worth it. Like you and me, gamers like that stuff, adds layers to the game.

They work like that in LoL for example and you can go from positive defenses which reduce dmg to actually having negative defenses, having been penetrated by % first flat later and u actually receive bonus damage, from having negative defenses.

It was never that much of a problem since doing that requires alot of resources.

[stark swift]

For reference, PoE uses flat before percentage. Acknowledged it's in a different genre, but the core principal is the same, in that you don't want to make it too easy (or trivial) to reduce incoming damage to 0, because that's actually not fun. Anyone who has used cheat codes in older games can attest to that - God mode is a nice idea, but most people lose interest when a system is trivialized. A relatively recent example of that is some of the game breaking behavior possible in New World (a result of their client side calcs, but still, making damage systems trivial is NOT good for a game).

[wide eagle]

I don't see how damage can go to 0 if there is also % defense penetration and flat penetration to counter balance it. No one is suggesting to create some tank behemoth meta

[upbeat willow]

simple:
100 base damage vs 80% damage reduction, 20 flat damage reduction

[stark swift]

I don't really see it as a ton of extra complexity, the reality is that each stat individually would just need to be weaker to account for the way they interact when combined. Maybe there's something big brain that's possible to account for that. The system scales towards extremes more quickly, so the values can't be as large, limiting their individual impact on gameplay.

[wide eagle]

And then you have 80% armor penetration and 20 armor penetration, problem solved

[upbeat willow]

yes, at the cost of adding unneccesary complexity and making balancing a nightmare

[wide eagle]

Like I said before maybe unnecessary for you, but most gamers enjoy that part

[upbeat willow]

keep in mind there's more than just the damage calculation
the game is really complex in every other aspect already

[safe valve]

Haha, you really routing for mechanic used in Games where people constantly complain about not being balanced and wana do this here exactly the Same, even tho every other is arguing it's Hard to balance... Why?

[wide eagle]

I gave examples with a moba, which in my opinion is vastly more complex genre. It works there

[upbeat willow]

sure, but what makes you so sure doing something differently can't be better?

[wide eagle]

Casuals will complain no matter what, will always find something. And they are 99.9% of the time wrong. I've never seen anyone decent complain about something like this

[safe valve]

Maybe Times changed, when i was playing those Games every Big Streamer was complaining about unbalanced pvp

[wide eagle]

I never said different can't be better, I just shared my opinion of why I think my way would work better. It makes theory crafting and building teams more fun.

[stark swift]

I think it's an interesting discussion, FWIW. I do see why things are they way they are, but I also see your point - People do like being able to scale mechanics to their extremes. That needs to be balanced against some of the practical things, like your opponent playing a fast attacker with low damage, and you wanting to respond to that in a targeted way. If flat reductions need to be lower to account for interactions with percentage reductions, your counterplay will be less impactful than it could be if calculations were performed differently.

[upbeat willow]

Yes, but you still haven't explained why it would make it more fun.

[wide eagle]

I did a few msgs up, it gives u more options and also feels better if things work well together. Dunno if that makes sense

[upbeat willow]

Yes, and I pointed out it's exactly the same if you use the other system.
You have the same options, just a different scale to work along.

[wide eagle]

How is it exactly the same? It's completely different. The choices you make with one system and the other will be completely different

Read blickters last comment, it explains it well

[upbeat willow]

Exactly

[wide eagle]

Scaling mechanics is fun, I don't know how to simplify it more. Usually it's good if you build fun mechanics in a video game

[upbeat willow]

But both systems scale.
The only difference is that one can achieve numers at or below 0 damage, the other scales to a desired point (for example max achievable 90% final reduction).
What's more fun?
Playing a game where your characters at worst do no damage at all, or where you're at least doing something?

Or should I say, do you want to see a metagame revolving around having max reduction or playing full piercing. And no other viable options.

[wide eagle]

Why do you keep using that no damage arguement? I already stated that it needs to have the same defense penetration system in place that doesn't allow this to happen. If we wanna keep it simple that's fine, but eSports thrive on complex mechanics

And stuff that the viewer appreciates when watching a stream

[safe valve]

Sounds a bit Like it.
Like making a bullwark wiping half the board with 1 stun, cause you pushed dmg stats

[wide eagle]

It will have those 2 extreme options but mostly it will be a mix of both. Why using only extremes?

[stark swift]

The mechanics still scale, they just do so less quickly, allowing for more design space for additional sources and specialization through player actions. If A + B + C is capped at 50, then on average, A, B and C can only be 16% on average. If the scale is different, and A + B + C is capped at 70, then A, B and C can be individually stronger than 16%. You might even have room to include a D before hitting the cap (could be a new Illuvial property or ability, or a new augment, as tangible examples).

[upbeat willow]

Because that's what min/maxing gamers usually end up doing.
If something turns out to be more effective than everything else, ppl wil use it and ignore less optimized stuff.

[wide eagle]

I'm not saying that won't work, I'm saying it will be more boring in my opinion

[wide eagle]

How do you know maxing one stat will be the most optimal build? And not mixing them up with different units?

[upbeat willow]

Play the current version of Arena and you'll see certain mechanics being way more effective than others.
Had they used the inverse damage calculations you'd have unbeatable teams.

[stark swift]

Definitely possible, but I think more practical. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy "breaking the game" in stuff like Slay the Spire - I used to play 2 healer comps in Arena back in TBC and make the other team ragequit after 20-30 minute games. Degenerate gameplay is SUPER fun for me. I do know where you're coming from. I also know it's not great for players on the other end of those mechanics.

[wide eagle]

What kind of example is that? Obviously with a change like that it will require re-balancing.

You guys are overthinking this too much, once it is re balanced properly it will feel and play pretty similarly, but have a better feel of the game

[stark swift]

I do think we should wait and test it in PvP when that's available to us. We'll have a lot more and better context then.

Right now the best we can do is TC, and the team is actively doing one better with live testing internally.

I love some sweaty TC though ❤️

https://tenor.com/view/sweaty-sweat-heat-hot-wipe-sweat-gif-17716050

[wide eagle]

I've played many games where the % applies first and you never went full ape into one stat, you always had to balance your build properly between flat, % damage/defensive stats so that you have a viable build against the highest number of enemy builds or if it's pve against a certain boss.

If something works better than other thing you just balance it in a patch

[lilac grail]

wen
some days ago. I boosted a earth Attipo at 150+ physical resistance with templar.. And the omega should apply 50% of his resistance to ally. Well it was not precised that it's the resistance that the attipo had at the start and you can't scale up that buff
waiting for PVP to rediscover the game again

[upbeat willow]

I've played games where % applies first and the pvp meta there was going above max reduction on the tank, making them virtually unbeatable even if playing against debuffing classes or damage piercing ones.
Naturally that was changed by imposing a 90% damage reduction cap.
Using that as an example, it'd be far more elegant having a formula that can't attain such results by default.

[wide eagle]

Which game was that? Sounds like poor design and balance. Tanks can't be op or broken from %armor scaling first if there is also % penetration first mechanic, both negate each other mutually. Then it comes down to building a proper team

[upbeat willow]

Seems that's the problem with this argument.
My perspective is from the game as it's designed now. Flat reduction before % reduction, no reliable armor piercing (only a small set of units has it, 2 augments and Hyper effect on fighters).
Yours seem to be from a perspective on how you feel the game should be rather than what it is.
Or am I missing something?

[wide eagle]

Yes based on how I think it should work. I asked why it was made like that out of curiosity. I'm not suggesting some kind of complete overhaul and delaying the game for this. But I do think it works better the other way around. If no proper penetration mechanics can be introduced in time, playing with the numbers of % and flat can work too. But ideally you wanna have proper counter mechanics.

I was surprised there are so many stats and penetration wasn't more emphasized. It's a stable stat that you can predict how it affects things compared to a more RNG based stat like crit. Feels weird to have defensive modifiers and not enough options for penetration (which is easier to balance than crit)

[upbeat willow]

I assume they didn't add them as they're not necessary when they do calculations in this manner.
This opens up for more combat effects that affect other things rather than just forcing every unit to have some level of piercing to balance out armor mechanics. Doing this at a math level rather than unit design level makes, in my opinion, each unit more interesting.

[wide eagle]

Doesn't make sense to me, if that's the case then why do we need 2 defensive stats, % and flat. Remove one, re balance and bam, even easier calculations.

I don't think less complexity is the solution

[upbeat willow]

I don't know the reasoning behind it.
But the effect (since they stem from different sources) is that you have more options to build your team, and it allows for more varied unit designs. You have some that are better against lower levels of damage and some that are better against higher. Which leads to more complex team building.

[wide eagle]

More options is usually better, agreed

[upbeat willow]

Yeah, more options usually lead to more variation in viable teams. And that's definetly a good thing.

[wide eagle]

So do we agree if there are defensive modifiers there should be also proper % and flat penetration? Especially when there are stats like crit and dodge, which are much more "toxic", people complain about more and are harder to balance?

Point being it will also create additional build options.

[upbeat willow]

Yes, the ones we currently have are rather limited. It'd be nice to have more options for that.

[wide eagle]

Bingo, players feeling limited is one thing we dont want for sure. It may sound stupid, but small things like that are important and add up to the full "package" of a game.

I'm going to put one last message here on the topic of flat vs percentage reduction, but I already stated this and it seemed to have been glanced over. I also don't want to get too much into a debate or anything, but it is interesting reading how people are very thoughtful on the matter:

• if you stack them the way @wide eagle wants, the numbers have to be smaller
• if the numbers are smaller, they have less impact by themselves, and are effectively a forced pairing
• if it's forced, this does NOT open up more options, it actually limits them
• OP God Mode is fun in pve games, less so in pvp cause an actual person is on the receiving end of it

When Kieran said there was still a possibility it would come in Q3 alongside the delay, I certainly didn’t think we’d be waiting this long. Makes me concerned they’ll miss the Q1 open beta release, which I think would be a real missed opportunity

Am I right in thinking for the open beta, things still won't be permanent and will be reset?
Apologies if this is stated elsewhere, I did try to find out 😅

I think with the delay to Q4 it gave them room to add more features and really polish up the PVP most likely why we don't have a date as they are adding more to the scope.

Open beta you start owning, so no it wont be reset anymore. It gets reset for open beta, and then its on

we haven't even seen any megacities UI design, for example. We have no idea if the illuvial stats and leveling are finished or still just concepts

[limber scroll]

Pvp release is coming very soon.
Open beta is planned for Q1 24

[rich pasture]

Wow, Thanks Synix!

[mental summit]

That's really awesome

[woven flint]

Don't underestimate the "is planed" 😘

[mental summit]

True that. But don't underestimate the power of hope 😉

[opaque cape]

i've been hoping hard for 2 years by now

running low on supplies

and still i keep grinding arena every day 😄

[woven flint]

Sure, but I already went this road, and it s more deception 😁
Open beta planned for end 2021, then "no worries guys, we are a little late, but it will be out feb-march 2022" ect ...

Now I am just waiting without hope and I know I LL be very happy when it goes out ❤️

[opaque cape]

we were too early 😄

eventually we will forget all the delays as long as the game is good and we have the next 10 years to play it

as soon as im holding a 7-figure check for winning the world championship i will forgive them for everything 😄

dont poopoo on my dreams tarren 😄

[twin mortar]

has there been any optimization to arena? i couldn’t run it on my laptop with amd radeon 8 and ryzen 5 a year ago

16gb ram too

[smoky python]

Crashes are way down compared to a year ago if that was your issue before

[twin mortar]

nah my graphics card just couldn’t handle it

[stray gull]

Yes significant performance improvements

Tech Art guys and Daniel have been going hard on optimization, Beta 3 should be a noticeable difference if you're on a lower end card

[opaque cape]

quick little first run jpp

wave 35 looks too hard to me, not gonna try again unless someone else beats it and shows its possible 😄

[manic musk]

What is Grit and resolve (something like it) ?

[stark swift]

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[opaque cape]

flat damage reduction. grit for physical dmg, resolve for magic dmg

[manic musk]

Thanks

[west plume]

its go time.

No one is safe

Wtf

little bugger bites

[opaque cape]

why isnt it showing the top 1?

[west plume]

its complicated

oh you mean the top 1

Not why iam not top 1

Not sure who got the top spot today😀

Will need to check unless you can tell me?

[opaque cape]

no idea

[twilit storm]

no streetcred sorry

maybe tomorrow

[waxen swan]

What timezone

Are there sign ups or can anyone just participate

[turbid osprey]

Time is adjusted to your own timezone, its at next reset. Open to everyone

[tulip tiger]

Open to everyone. No entry fees. Tournament will start in just under 12 hours

[tulip tiger]

Nice run sa

[opaque cape]

it was good for a first and last run of the day

[mental summit]

Mates, the game is a bit luggy today, isn't it? Can't make 1st run, already dced 3 times

4 🙂

[woven flint]

i did just one run, but no dc, it s very random, yesterday I had 1 ...

[opaque cape]

no issues here

@woven flint i took first but lost on checkpoint 😄

how i have to do another run 😦

[woven flint]

yeah I had no checkpoint and lost just because of one rogue I underestimated on 34, but easily beatable

I don t have energy to do more than 1 run :/

[opaque cape]

soon

[woven flint]

yeah ... soon ish I gonna try hard, but until pvp just some time some run is already boring enough

[lean ivy]

Because of the Daylight changes this is a couple hours early I might join in. If I don't get tied down.

[tulip tiger]

Sounds good hope to see you there. We always have a good time and learn something

[summer frigate]

When PvP ?

[brazen quarry]

can u please link dc channel for tourney?

It's here in discord

[mental summit]

ah i see

thx

[west plume]

is today the day i reach No.1??

@opaque cape i took the full screen this time

[opaque cape]

im working on upgrading that score

[west plume]

how much to gt into top 20?

[safe valve]

Not much, you can do it

[west plume]

great

now i have to make it

[safe valve]

You better do

Or you can't call yourself a true viking anymore

[west plume]

jeezez

[opaque cape]

xborg > all in both times and score 😄

[smoky python]

Always funny to see people take like 30 minutes to get to low 20s

[opaque cape]

nice 1st place copying a build 😄

[twilit storm]

who was the first using that build? didn t see

[opaque cape]

martini

was in 1st with almost the same comp with the same idea

[twilit storm]

and why he lost way before 29? weird

[opaque cape]

overtime loss

[twilit storm]

martini can t lose with such a broken comp

ahh got it

[opaque cape]

he didnt use any checkpoints though, just took 1st with 3 left

[smoky python]

And thats why going last is always a huge advantage

[twilit storm]

btw jumping in after 2 hours is not a good move I admit

[opaque cape]

shouldnt be legal in a normal tourney, but who cares

[twilit storm]

agree

same time or nothing

[smoky python]

One of the many reasons I refuse to play

[opaque cape]

as long as he doesnt think he's the better player after seeing 15 runs i dont care really

he didnt even JPP so i dont count the run either way

[twilit storm]

should be same starting time for all the players ye

PvP will fix this

[opaque cape]

even then you have players that max stall every wave

and are an hour behind on wave 25

but copying a build, starting 2 hours late, using 2x the time and not JPPing and STILL not taking 1st is kinda bad though

[twilit storm]

what you mean he took 1st, you were on your second run or third I dunno..but not the first run for sure

[opaque cape]

he saw like 15 runs, thats way more OP than me JPP trolling 7 fighters/2 mystics

[twilit storm]

the copycat is hard tbh...didn t see martini was the builder

[opaque cape]

that 2nd run had a 2:54 runtime lol

[smoky python]

High quality JPP

[opaque cape]

thats all the fartons do every time tbh

[twilit storm]

yeah the 7 fighter was kind a joke but funny

[opaque cape]

you even see paz posting videos on youtube

saying: thanks vana/spoon for the build

[smoky python]

Fighter is the new JPP for this patch like Rogues were last patch

no positioning required JPP

[twilit storm]

no monitor required after the login screen

[smoky python]

But they arent as good late game as Rogues were last patch

[opaque cape]

my final comp was pretty good jpp 😄

[smoky python]

gtfo

[opaque cape]

it was amazing and you know it

[smoky python]

That comp was a disgrace to the game

[opaque cape]

i would be so glad if i were you that im on your team

cause having me against you is just auto loss

[smoky python]

LOL

I'd rather alt F4 than play against that build

[opaque cape]

people said they dont think 25 would be beatable today

i didnt lose a single unit there 😄

[smoky python]

I said it would be cheeseable

Overtime needs to be changed obviously

[opaque cape]

here, for all the contestants out there that sweated, the way to not use a single unit

mind the audio was in a voicechat with 10 other people so im still not talking to myself like an idiot 😄

[smoky python]

Can not confirm or deny that

[opaque cape]

overtime was fine, would have won anyway with 0 losses if it just kept going naturally

[lean ivy]

I was lying in bed rolling around knowing it was possible...Wish I would have tried again.

Verdant "Psion" very interesting.

[opaque cape]

harbinger ftw

[lean ivy]

ya I guess you called it with Axon going crazy

[opaque cape]

if you see so many earth units, the question becomes which water units can i play and what to bond with

[smoky python]

Only if the deck sucks

[lean ivy]

I'm diving back in

[smoky python]

otherwise just play good stuff

[opaque cape]

there was no good stuff in this deck

[smoky python]

Exactly

[lean ivy]

WOW 👀 Lets Gooo @zenith mortar Rank 3

[zenith mortar]

Thanks ser

[opaque cape]

was an obvious joke cause you brought it up before but ok 😄

deleted

[edgy bough]

I had no time to copy others, still learning the game so had to focus on my build lol. Plus no one was using Squizz like me 💀 but I agree there can be better rules to avoid late advantage. I also don’t think I’m anywhere near as good as Martini or others just for tying on 24 😂 just having fun with the community, good vibes while we wait for pvp

[opaque cape]

uhh that wasnt about you 😄

im surprised to see rich so high with this horrible deck and hard wave 25, stepped up your game from all the pvp matches?

even beating martini 😄

[edgy bough]

yah but SJUD said id copied and there was like 20 of us on wave 24 lol, i think most spammed fighter

either way it was cool to have XBORG competing

PVP is gonna be hype

[opaque cape]

soon

[edgy bough]

ish

[coarse echo]

rich too powerful

[opaque cape]

is he beating you everywhere now? pve leaderboard, pvp?

he's coming to take your job

[zenith mortar]

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile

[opaque cape]

even during no nut november?

[zenith mortar]

No not then

[west plume]

prepare to be dominated.

[lapis citrus]

Well done Dr Spoon

[safe valve]

did i?
If so... you say kyle not getting as far with the same build as a casual player?

[spare frigate]

i hate to tute my own horn.. but pretty sure i was the first to suggest and use - martini played it well (no checkpoints used) but dr spoon also used it better

[opaque cape]

martini didnt use any checkpoints and only had 2 attempts in total

[safe valve]

me neither

straigth to 29

[west plume]

So fighters ealy on?

[lapis citrus]

Pvp will sort the boys from the men I guess. 😂

[opaque cape]

cant wait to put some people into their place :

😄

[west plume]

Same

[spare frigate]

mateeee, i seen you, you sweated over the grind more than anybody during that time period - good broken build for the day

[opaque cape]

the only one to beat it without abusing mud vamp monkier

[spare frigate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxe0o2pCGwo&ab_channel=DavidMays

[lapis citrus]

The only way to find out if it’s aiming high or low is to play

[opaque cape]

who's on your list then 😄 ?

[lapis citrus]

How many people in xborg have completed in esport tournaments?

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-gary-oldman-everyone-gif-14317847

Should give a week heads up before each high level match so we can set up a Polymarket

https://tenor.com/view/heartland-amy-fleming-season1-overrated-talking-gif-14649525

@opaque cape as you said..you had all day and still no first place? bah

[smoky python]

lets go back for 18 months this games been around and how many first places do you have again?

2 or 3?

[twilit storm]

who was talking about me? get back to your tree

[opaque cape]

ùhh i was first all day

not gonna do another run when its not even a 1up

[twilit storm]

ahh okok

no streetcred ..got it

[smoky python]

Anyone here?

[cyan olive]

should rephrase to do they have esport earnings^^

[smoky python]

Yah thatd be great to see from all the people with Phantom tags

Because they certaintly havnt won anything in ILV

[cyan olive]

why do you have to lie?
I got 1st and 2nd in the 2 most competitive survival arena tournaments last year by Polemos and Jimbo

[smoky python]

Oh woah! good job buddy!

1 was an invitational and one i wasnt allowed to play in

[lapis citrus]

It was an honest question. I dont know much about Xborg. I was just curious.

[smoky python]

Now do you want to compare my ilv tourney winnings?

Hint: its more

[lapis citrus]

No need for measure tapes

[smoky python]

Remember when Viper played for a month and couldnt even beat Shabim?

[cyan olive]

I guess I hit a wound point talking about esportearnings

[smoky python]

lol

We are just having a nice banter about Illuvium

[cyan olive]

I don´t remember that either, was pretty much highest wave every day in PB2, until I quit cause it was too easy and I played more difficult games again, but you can tell yourself w.e. if it makes you sleep better

[smoky python]

Leaderboards dont lie

Shabim won the month

[cyan olive]

I was first until I quit, stop lying

[smoky python]

Cool story bro

[west plume]

Pvp fixes this

Will be my PVP cup

[smoky python]

Is this like our wrestling title belt?

[lapis citrus]

My favorite shirt is still the one you had sent to me.

[limber scroll]
