[smoky python]

nah im done for now

[south glacier]

Maybe stuns and reducing attack speed can help. Gives you more time to kill them. And I would asume a stunned unit cannot dodge.

[bronze canopy]

stuns usually require energy to cast aside from behemoths

and thats 80% increased energy of cast

i think it sould be either be an auto attack counter or be a caster counter

but both? 😄

[south glacier]

I just stick with rhamphyre. Increase it's initial energy and watch it become hyper between all the air units 😄

Or bond your ranger to rhamphyre for double phantom, increase crit to 100% and see the world burn

[opaque cape]

or counter both a little

3 air already 40% more casting time, thats not a little

the numbers should be like 3-30%, 5-40%, 7 50%

[bronze canopy]

yea numbers are a bit out there atm

[lethal widget]

Bug: firing psion weapon sometimes hits but does zero damage (happens repeatedly, both within same match and across matches)

[zenith bough]

Please use bug reporter in game. Much easier to track

[proven ember]

It should. That would be a bug if not

[bronze canopy]

oh great i knew i wasnt going insane

[proven ember]

Did you report?

[bronze canopy]

then its a bug it doest work, i noticed it on 2 different days

.>

[proven ember]

Damn ok. Report it please

Easiest way to get into the system

[worldly jolt]

The priority order of some of these effects has gotta be pretty tricky

[summer frigate]

There’s another bug when switching units, when the battle starts it only removes the ones you wanted to and doesn’t add the new ones. Has happened to me 5 times and cost me all 5 games lol

Malura has a bug too when using his omega

[shadow lion]

any queue'ers? Lets fight

LETS FIGHT FOR NOTHING (yet)

[coarse echo]

just caught up on some of these messages.

The first games can be thought of like placement. First 5-10 will have high variance, then it will start to level off. After a lot of games, an equal rating matchup will yield around +/- 10 points for win/loss (not exactly, but close to that).

[hearty sleet]

Where can we report bugs or suggestions?

[worldly jolt]

On the #❓❓〕support website

[hallow notch]

how to emot with drone?

[waxen swan]

click on it

[hallow notch]

You can also press B while in game, take a screenshot, and explain the issue all within game.

[zenith bough]

I have grinded from 1,450 to 1750 now. It feels like I have aged 10 years since I started. So slow progress. 😬

I know it's only been 3 days..

Still

My feelings matter!

Glad to have that off my chest. Back to grind

[lethal widget]

Rip - spent the first handful trying out weird stuff; should be clearer imo

[hearty sleet]

You must be number one on the leaderboard. That is tough

[zenith bough]

No. Lots of people higher

[twin mortar]

how to tell what illuvials scale off physical atk damage and which energy atk damage? Is it as simple as melee vs ranged?

[cursive echo]

@fluid lagoon GG good fight 💦

[summer frigate]

Is health regen based on max health %?

[cursive echo]

@velvet goblet 🥇 🙏 👍

[uncut comet]

your ranger was blasting atom bombs

[cursive echo]

you dodged well🤣

[fluid lagoon]

GG.. can t wait that Gauntlet to be nerfed 🙂

[cursive echo]

I benefit from nuclear attacks

[gritty wren]

wtf is this harbinger ranger shit

[cursive echo]

be careful if I meet you I have modified the augmente for you

[uncut comet]

well i guess i wanted to eat anyway xD

[raven obsidian]

cant wait for next balancing update!

[bronze canopy]

passive agressive mabbsy, tell us how you really feel

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[raven obsidian]

lol

just lost a game to @cursive echo that used zero skill 😂

[bronze canopy]

was it water related?

[raven obsidian]

9 water with water gaunt 3 of course

had his whole team on the board on the 2nd wave

[gritty wren]

no fun only the same OP shit

[bronze canopy]

i call that the boo-o-wo-ah special

pretty easy to get 2k+ rating with that one

abuse it while you can

mud also needs to be on a cooldown

if a mud unit with 4 mud touches you for a few seconds in the begining of a round

havng 0 attack speed for the rest of battle is bs

[raven obsidian]

brb making mud team

[bronze canopy]

i get that you can cleanse it with an augement, but what about the ranger

[dark vine]

yeah, I agree on that aging progress but I just aged 10 years in one game >.<

[dull wind]

can some1 explain the profile borders? why have some more strips then others? and the border color is related to beyond?

[zenith mortar]

Border is related to your rank

[somber verge]

For Aussies dose the open beta come out tomorrow 6am or is it Wednesday at 6am?

[dull wind]

how do you get more strips?

I've seen folks with lower rating with more strips than me

[south glacier]

the colour is related to your rank. not the stripes. the stripes are your rating within that colour

if that makes sense

[vernal forum]

gg @velvet goblet

[dull wind]

ah ok

thanks @south glacier

[south glacier]

#🚰〕leaks message
you can check the details here

[dull wind]

everything makes sense now 😅

[south glacier]

No it is not. I know that because i play mud 😂

[austere prism]

How many extra mastery points do you get per round?

[south glacier]

check pin #🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[austere prism]

Cheers

[uncut comet]

last round was bugged the units i sold and put other in disapeared but gg

[austere prism]

What’s the percentage cost to move a placement?

[south glacier]

15%

[chilly basin]

Hey

[honest pawn]

whats the difference between pure atk dmg and atk dmg

[opaque cape]

one gets negated by armor and the other one is pure

aka true damage, ignoring all resistances from armor/mr/grit/resolve

[honest pawn]

cool, thx

[fluid lagoon]

@cursive echo it froze for you too?

[true sand]

What do we win by playing om arena? What is the reward? Besides ranking

[cursive echo]

yes );

bug

[dark vine]

game started instantly

[cursive echo]

I still have this kind of bug I have to quit the game

[fluid lagoon]

Yeah i got that too .. just exit the game and restart

[south glacier]

anything you can do when the battle is stuck and "waiting for opponent" last forever? Is this a known bug?

[fluid lagoon]

It is afaik

[south glacier]

ok. so i guess i have to restart the game

[fair hemlock]

Me and torrex had it. Both of us just waited indefinitely. Just escape-surrender and it will all work again.

[cursive echo]

@fluid lagoon

surrender 😂

[dark vine]

hmm, strange atm I have one bug after another. Illuvial disappear bug several times and this instant start just now. I mean it is ok beta and all but it is strange that this stuff happens in waves

[fluid lagoon]

i don t wnt to

seems like it reconnected? 😄 idk

[cursive echo]

you win gg cheat code 😭

[fair hemlock]

Just please report all of them. This is actually the prelude to the open beta of a gamemode the public never tested before. These bugs are bound to happen ^^

Good job catching them though!

[dark vine]

sure, the ingame report just can take a screenshot bug I cant upload them, right?

[fair hemlock]

The ingame bug report can take a screenshot yes.

You can also add imagery here for sure. The team usually reads this stuff but it is quicker in the launcher itself. Extra info probably will reach the team in here.

Just explain as much as possible in the bug reporter obv.

[south glacier]

what a fight 😅

[cursive echo]

+0

[worldly jolt]

Nothing but fun. Right now it’s just for testing.

[worldly jolt]

Yikes. That’s a pretty low score

[cursive echo]

@fluid lagoon gg drain energie 👍

[honest pawn]

Ive had one of these too lol such a waste of time

[fluid lagoon]

GG mister.. what nice fights we had 😄 ..back and forth

[vernal forum]

I had a strange (to me) interaction and I’m not sure if it was a bug or maybe an augment or something else I’m ignorant to. Mostly rogue opponents other units were bulwarks. I had multiple colossus and a mix of other units. The entire enemy team ignored the colossus taunts and even seemed to focus the non colossus units. Has anyone experienced this? Is it an augment? Something unique to rogues? Or does it have to be a bug?

[sullen vessel]

Guys just a question so when the game starts tomorrow do we need to either purchase the Illuvials of the marketplace or go out and catch them to create our deck in the overworld. Or is it just the PVP exactly like what we have at the moment and the rest comes later

[safe valve]

It's pvp and you have like godmode and can use all assets which are ready to be played.

[dense helm]

Woo first game on PROD (Casual only)

Now let me go to rank and get destroyed.

[sullen vessel]

Cheers so the overworld and land etc all comes later

[safe valve]

They still can be played in private Beta/Alpha, they are just not open for the public testing yet.

[sullen vessel]

Ok no problems byu the way I am loving the game so far

[cursive echo]

@opaque cape your gorilla drove me crazy

[opaque cape]

basic attack 😄

[dense helm]

Yep down 0/2 in ranked... maybe instead of building this thing I should have been playing it 🙂

[honest pawn]

how does enchanter's pure dmg work?

also does ture sight mean, auto atk will not miss? can it still be blind??

[naive mantle]

IM SO FKING BAD AT THIS GAME

GODDAMIT

[serene lance]

I tried making a mystic + enchanter, shield staff ranger clump with carries like scoriox, this was one of the best strats in survival, but doesnt seem to work in pvp, maybe once gauntlet and rhamphyre are nerfed it will be better.

Also you have to survive at least 2-3 rounds of being rushed by tier 0 armies lol.

[lethal widget]

Lol you’re not bad mate - what happened? It’s still showing me “waiting for opponent” on the placement screen

[naive mantle]

weird not sure im currently in a game

3 rounds in

[lethal widget]

Did you quit out of ours?

[naive mantle]

nope

[lethal widget]

Weird

[naive mantle]

weird indeed

[cursive echo]

@neat walrus you destroyed me

[neat walrus]

Oh sorry
Did you not enjoy my team?

[cursive echo]

あなたの巨大なチームからインスピレーションを受けるでしょう

[cursive echo]

yes I love your team

[west quartz]

Will our ranked elo reset on the 28th ? Been messing it up quite hard trying to make umbre work 😂

[neat walrus]

hi
Don't bully my lovely whale🥹

[stray gull]

I don't think so, no

I'll confirm

[plush gate]

There is a typo on leaderboard

[stray gull]

Following up @plush gate thank you

That's a shocker

[reef basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/tired-confused-wake-up-squinting-gif-4201426486566488898

[low halo]

gg @cursive echo

That's a fucken battle if I've ever seen one

[cursive echo]

crazy fight GG

[low halo]

the invulnerable gotta be in this deck and it's complete lol

so many tactics in one game

by far the best fight yet

we used every trick in the book hahahaha BASTARD

[cursive echo]

yes so many options you scare me with your bird

[low halo]

That's the first time where I saw some Esports level shit

Cause I could feel what you were trying to do and just didn't have the indom to outlast

the giga atlas was crazy

I tried to bait your beams and get to them best I could so hard though

you musta been scared at round 6 lol

[cursive echo]

we continue to train

[low halo]

fucking outlasting no wayyyyyy

[cursive echo]

yes with this crazy bird that rushes towards my ranger thanks the timer

[low halo]

I didn't put the attack speed fully on it cause the fucking beams were killing it too fast

should have moved to the left side and cut through

anyway you were the only one to beat me on like a 10 game streak with that deck

[cursive echo]

with my deck your only objective is to kill my ranger

[low halo]

god that pisses me off

Yeh the bomb is so crazy, pretty sure it's getting a bit of a nerf

I versed someone today with the water bomb and was just launching it every few seconds no chance

so broken

tucked in between units no way to get to it lol

healing units

[cursive echo]

only @neat walrus one can kill me easily

[neat walrus]

no, it was just a good match👍

[plush gate]

YW 🥰

[quartz spade]

Enemies when they win - +40

Me - +12

[reef basalt]

what a comeback. gg @cursive echo

lol that water pistol

[cursive echo]

💦 💦 💦 haha GG

[reef basalt]

round 3 i guess lol

oooh

what killed my monkeys, @cursive echo ?

I didnt understand what happened there lol

[dark vine]

I find it amazing that nearly every Illuvial has a place in this deck builder. In most deck builder games only 5% of all cards are useful. Really amazing work!!

[cursive echo]

pistol!!

[dark vine]

water gauntlet makes like 15k dmg per round

[reef basalt]

i need to figure out the pistol mechanics. I thought I placed my characters so that it wont get hit by it. Do they just shoot the closest one?

[cursive echo]

I don't understand the gorilla became violent

I had to calm him down

[reef basalt]

hahahaha!

my ace. if I can position him properly

[dark vine]

they shoot at the farthest enemy but if the orb passes an enemy it explodes it deals aoe dmg. The visual is a little bugged the orb explodes at first contact but the visual keeps flying.

[reef basalt]

Thank you! Imma put them properly then

that was my mistake. learning learning.

[serene lance]

Nah surely everyone gets reset.

[west quartz]

let me know 🙂

[stray gull]

Quite certain Epic just drops the requirement for a code to download/play on the 28th, no changes to our Backend

[west quartz]

:/

[stray gull]

Yeah you have early access to Beta 3 which is what the public are jumping into on the 28th

[tacit herald]

yo

here to shake up the meta

[noble hinge]

Working on my fire team.
What could possibly be offensive in this team name?!?🤷‍♀️

[minor quest]

you can't feel people these days

people getting too handsy

[serene lance]

Any1 know how some units like pho get insanely high attack speed without many augments or synergies?

[reef basalt]

I just learned that Warwick is a forbidden word lol

[reef basalt]

Arcanite, Slayer plus the synaptic booster that gives you more attack speed on takedown

[rare meteor]

just really hoping that psion weapon gets nerfed before 28th lol

[serene lance]

Theres a patch on the 28th that will have balance changes.

[serene lance]

Thats understandable, but ive had multiple times where without all that stuff they have high atk speed

[rare meteor]

lfg

[quartz spade]

how much percentage damage resist does armor actually do

like - does 100 = 10%?

[vivid grotto]

@sharp geyser 😜 ohhh maiiii

[reef basalt]

Not sure. Seems improbable without at least the takedown augment

[serene lance]

Thats why i was confused, maybe it was a bug.

[serene lance]

100 resist is probably more like 30%, and then the more you have the lower it scales, so 300 wouldnt be 90% itd be around 70%.

[rare meteor]

do we know when its gonna launch exactly ? ?

[serene lance]

@cursive echo Noooooooooooooooooooo

[cursive echo]

hahah GG

[serene lance]

28th is when arena beta opens to all on epic games, and then actual release for the game and blockchain activated is Q1 2024 as per the roadmap.

[cursive echo]

I always have the timer with me 💦

[rare meteor]

i know but do we know at what time it opens on epic ?

[west quartz]

for the bird i think that more attack speed gives him faster omega which gives more and more attack speed with arcanite

[serene lance]

it was pho, the stage 1 with no arcanite, just fighter buff, he was going nuts lol

[west quartz]

for umbre slayer gives him attack speed on take down so if he kills multiple people he goes crazy

[serene lance]

If your in US its like 8pm, australia is 7am ish

[west quartz]

but i think there are some kind of bugs because i've seen some umbre and even some templar bird get like 300 attack speed

[west quartz]

would be nice to have a breakdown of how every single stat works exactly

@stray gull does such thing exists ?

[stray gull]

It will shortly, I'm working on an index of sorts that will be available this week or next

breaks down everything

[west quartz]

Lovely !

[stray gull]

more info to come this week 😉

[west quartz]

is it normal that my phosphorus ended up at 0 ATTACK SPEED vs 3 mud ?

[serene lance]

Yep lol

Mud drains attack speed

[west quartz]

it says up to 10 times so at best it should be able to drain 50% attack speed, i don't get how i can get down to 0

[serene lance]

2 different mud = 20 times perhaps ?

and then the illuvials attack animation is so long that it cant cast its omega even if its had full energy for 10 seconds lol

painful

[west quartz]

wait that's up to 10 times PER illuvial ? 😮

[west quartz]

exactly xD

[serene lance]

I love how the sear line moves while omegaing now, actual beyblade

[hardy wind]

hello. I have a problem with a code. I recive one email but the code is smalled not complet all plots. Some one with same problema?

[summer frigate]

Is the pvp going to have a leaderboard?

[split egret]

Yes

[summer frigate]

On the 28th ?

[split egret]

#❓❗〕community-help

[split egret]

Yes

[summer frigate]

How do you know ?

[hardy wind]

thanks

[split egret]

Source: trust me bro 🤣

Jk

It will have fs

[summer frigate]

@stray gull could you confirm ?

[stray gull]

Shortly after the 28th, it's one of the first updates we intend to push

[zenith bough]

Along with custom camera angles so you don’t have to set cam perfectly in every single game? 😉

[hoary mason]

And key bindings so we can switch to our selected camera angles. Like we can set 3 camera angles.

[serene lance]

yeah just make it that if i move my cam and press control 4, then in future games i can press 4 to go to that angle

[cursive echo]

@reef basalt

[reef basalt]

yeah when I didnt finish you off i was destined to die

I was like yeah hes gonna switch it up and It would be a stab at a dark how it looks like lol

[cursive echo]

@serene lance 👀

[cursive echo]

what is this speed!!!

[austere prism]

So we all just going to play toxic team eh

All all water

[cursive echo]

@serene lance I'm changing teams, you convinced me

[austere prism]

Toxic teams look killer must say

[serene lance]

Haha im just messing round with different stuff, good to have multiple decks.

Your little unkillable buffalo at the back

[west quartz]

nop lmao

[halcyon nova]

I ever played a match that lasted long than 5 rounds yet .....lol

[zenith mist]

experiencing a pretty bad bug where after round starts, multiple illuvials/augments that were placed are removed from play

[halcyon nova]

all or nothing

anybody seen a good guide video on the arena ui ux ????

[serene lance]

Fixed in next patch

New patch on epic games release 28th / 29th fixing mastery point issue, things coming off board.

• more

[zenith mist]

that's great to hear! Cheers mate

[rare meteor]

apparently its releasing on epic in 12 hours from now

[serene lance]

Oh true, probably good to test the patch before it opens up to everyone

[zenith mist]

gg @lusty sleet that was a fun back and forth 😄

[stray gull]

gg @worn thicket 🫡

[lean ivy]

@west quartz Dude thats two games in a row my dual just casts to the center of the board,,,,\

[lusty sleet]

Great game bro! Was trying to find and tag you 😄

Working on trying to make my own Umbre & Gyro deck

That was some fantastic testing

[clever garden]

Almost 2nd best.

[lean ivy]

If my dual cast to the center again, I'm going to rage lol

[zenith mist]

Likewise mate, that slayer combo is demonic when it gets going 🔥

[lusty sleet]

Just need a better early game and tanking plan! - The 5 fire wasn't really working out, trying Toxic now 😄

[ivory gyro]

Hey guys i am new to ilv
Any one who can answer my questions??

[west quartz]

hahaha

[true sand]

When the game releases what are we going to win in the arena as rewards?

[limber scroll]

Nothing till now. No announcement about rewards yet.

[elder ore]

hello, can we see all team builds that were in tournament?

[west quartz]

gg 🙂

[lean ivy]

gg

[west quartz]

your comp is crazy strong early

[waxen swan]

If ur referring to CC tournament they are all in announcements you'll need to scroll up

[elder ore]

yes, I meant those. Thanks, I missed that message

[worn thicket]

oh did we play? what's your nick in game?

[lusty sleet]

@wispy quail GL sir

[wispy quail]

play nice please 🙂

[worn thicket]

btw any chance we have a patch before friday? kinda afraid of the shitstorm the tournament could look like if a couple things aren't fixed

[lusty sleet]

This is a WIP Toxic Ramp deck, only my 2nd game with it

[proven ember]

Disappearing Illuvial issue is fixed internally - will be fixed publicly when we update.

[lusty sleet]

LOL MY RHAMFYRE ULT DID NOTHING

[proven ember]

https://tenor.com/view/thanxy-gif-9009172360785022001

[lusty sleet]

WP sir, need to heal suppress and position better

[wispy quail]

hah yeah iwas surprise i thought i was fucked haha

team has potential though 100%

[lusty sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/trying-try-im-trying-ball-catch-gif-5139192

[proven ember]

rhamphyre with 0 omega power?

thats a fun legendary augment

if its that 😄

hoping not a bug!

[lusty sleet]

Was Spore Empath Team

[west quartz]

seen some ramphires deal no damage on omega tbh

[lilac grail]

there's lot of factor that can decast ramphyre too.

[serene lance]

Balance changes on or before 28th launch? Such as gauntlet or rhamphyre omegas?

[west quartz]

rhamphire is fine, gauntlet gets nerfed i think but not sure

[lilac grail]

is a plan to have unlimited decks saved, or having a way to import deck fastly from a seed code is planned ?

[west quartz]

you can already import a deck

[lilac grail]

Import ?
You can share a link to your deck. That isn't static because if you update your deck, it's updating too in the link.
and If you delete it. you loose the save.
and Am I blind but where is import ? 😮

[proven ember]

no plans for changes prior to the 28th. Will be changes after

[lean ivy]

@bronze canopy I feel like phosphours should win

[bronze canopy]

its a positioning match up

[lean ivy]

I also got lucky with the augment

[serene lance]

No worries

Wonder if we’ll see changes before sundays tourney then

Or its gonna be gauntlets all round

[west quartz]

made it to the elo hell

[west quartz]

some guy shared his build and i had a button saying import as one of your team, i don't recall where

[true sand]

Well thanks

[lean ivy]

@bronze canopy Didnt bond...

[bronze canopy]

[serene lance]

You will be able to purchase more team slots in game on blockchain release #morerevdis

[west quartz]

anyone knows how to hide the health bars please ?

[waxen swan]

I wouldn't use any of them though

[elder ore]

why?

[waxen swan]

They all suck

Including mine

[elder ore]

still better than nothing

[quartz spade]

God this is a flawed system

[zenith mist]

@lusty sleet nice changes man!

[opaque cape]

its only because there arent enough players right now with early access, so the gaps are too wide

once 100k people start playing this you will find matches with very close elo to your own

[lusty sleet]

Thank you dude! - Working a lot better now

GL

[opaque cape]

and always be around plus or minus 10 rating

[serene lance]

Bruh these round 1 attipo x 4 and round 2 empath x 7 is just stupid good 😆

[opaque cape]

did you fight hisapio?

[serene lance]

I have fought multiple people doing it now

Round 2 7 empath 3 nature and ranger empath staff, their whole team starts with 1000 shield each and the white bar never goes down lol

[granite osprey]

water fillish no refund 50EN afer Omega

[serene lance]

Can we get an augment that does minus shield power, similar to minus healing and minus energy gain please

[lean ivy]

lol @neat walrus gg

[neat walrus]

Hi nice game😀

[west plume]

Fire build best to counter?

[serene lance]

I dont think anything at round 2 counters 1000 shield + strong heals

If you survive till later rounds and can drop a rhamphyre on the group then yeah sure probably

[opaque cape]

rhamphyre does zero damage

especially cause he nevers casts with all the blind/disarm/stun

[serene lance]

yeah well this too

[west quartz]

you can play it insta cast but he won't be able to kill the empaths

[lean ivy]

I was hoping you would be played again. You like that?

[west quartz]

hahaha gg

need a cigaret break brb in 5 cya there 😉

[west plume]

What would be the best approach to deal with that build?

[opaque cape]

its broken right now, especially if you throw in water gauntlet ranger

[worn thicket]

wait there are people not playing water gauntlet empaths nowadays?!

[opaque cape]

not many

[worn thicket]

i feel like past 1700s it's either that, or 7 fire Rhamphyre, or some other dumb vertical with 7 shit units and 1 unit at 90+ MP

[west quartz]

so you mean there are 3 main comps overperforming, like in any other game ? 😮

[worn thicket]

I mean that it's sad that it feels like if you place 3 units at more than 75MP or try to make nice synergy combos... you're just playing wrong

[waxen swan]

good games @lean ivy

[lean ivy]

Ya solid games 🙂

[worn thicket]

pick a good late game unit, (if not available, Gauntlet will do it) surround it with 7 bad units that just give a specific trait, and you have your comp

[west quartz]

yep that's pretty much it

1 or 2 carries, rest is there for synergy is tanking

kinda like tft

[drifting flax]

@topaz lion what a match!

[worn thicket]

in TFT you don't necessarily go for the verticals, in fact most standard meta comps had nice and rounded synergies. yes some verticals are strong but most of the time they require either spatula or a specific augment to actually be good. Here you don't need an imprint to reach max water or empath and in fact if you do... you even still have space to play whatever carry you want in it

[serene lance]

Honestly i think the tier 0 units just need some form of nerf, perhaps make them cost 30 not 25, that way you cant put 4 out in one go and get 5 of a single affinity round 1 including bonding

or is even limiting max illuvials based on round a possiblity? instead of having all 8 slots instantly, make it round 1 = 3 slots, round 2 = 5 slots, then round 3 onwards is the full 8 ?

that way zerg rushing can still work but its not busted

[worn thicket]

hmmm i kinda like the fact that the option is there for either agro play or more slow paced build up

[serene lance]

or increase drone hp from 1000 to 1200

[worn thicket]

what it requires imo is those units in that 75-90 range and even most 100s to be better than they are now

so that they aren't taken down just by an army of T0 empaths with a Blazenite

[worn thicket]

it's already 1000

but yeah more hp would make more expensive decks more viable, at the cost of making the cheap ones probably trash

it's a thin limit there and we're only on the first iteration

[west quartz]

yeah it's kinda outrageous that a tier 0 empath can tank 3 slayers lmao

[worn thicket]

ideally both options are viable

[worn thicket]

i swear down that Umbre is not a unit

[serene lance]

whoops

[worn thicket]

it loses to EVERYTHING that people play now

[west quartz]

i'd agree to that :p

[bronze canopy]

literally an stage 1 air flish can tank a 3 slayer 2 augement umber for the whole combat

[west quartz]

i think the slayer needs to change from takedown to assist to make it sustainbly viable

[serene lance]

hahaha

[worn thicket]

same for slashin, who gave slashin negative numbers?

i feel like slashin heals the opponents

[serene lance]

theres some very obvious nerfs to be had, and im sure the team will start balancing asap

honestly with just a few balance changes its already gonna be very competetive

[worn thicket]

i really hope we get a patch like... FRIDAY

[serene lance]

Ben said theres no balance patch before or on the release on the 28th/29th which surprised me, but yeah hopefully before the Sunday tourney would be good

[worn thicket]

so all these people who just learned how to play gauntlet water clump don't have time to adapt and so the people who just know how to play can farm them

[bronze canopy]

how can there be no pach before 28

theres a lt of bugs

cant give this into hands of the masses

[serene lance]

sorry i meant no balance changes

[bronze canopy]

every tiem you sell a unit you pray you wont bug out

[serene lance]

they fixed the mastery point stuff

[worn thicket]

did they also fix the rollback when you sell a unit with augments?

[serene lance]

not sure on the specifics but it seems like a lot of the mastery point and illuvials coming off the board when the round starts is fixed internally and in next patch

just no balance changes

[worn thicket]

only if it has augments attached... no? i only have it when i sell stuff with augments or to which i'm bonded

[bronze canopy]

im not 100% sure, i avoid selling

[worn thicket]

which is super annoying because it encourages playing those narrow dumb decks

[serene lance]

would love for gauntlet and some stuff like empath rush to be nerfed before the tourney

would make it way more interesting

[worn thicket]

ok but then 7 fire needs a nerf too xD

[smoky python]

7 fire deck isnt even good lol

[worn thicket]

that thing makes flish delete titanor in 3 colossus before titanor casts it's outrageous

[bronze canopy]

its good enough that half the leaderbord spams it

[worn thicket]

well it destroys slower start up decks or i haven't found the right slow start yet, what i can tell is that t3 their board is full and wipes even a 5 bulwark board for almost free, and then T4 Ramphyre comes in and shit starts getting nasty if your comp isn't finished yet

[serene lance]

the fire rhamp deck is great against anything that doesnt have the counters

but it can definitely be stopped

on epic games launch it will destroy any new average player for a while

[bronze canopy]

i have a 50% success rate against that deck with terror bird build, its mostly a positioning match up

and it doesnt matter if a guy is 1900 rating or 1400

did i guess correctly or no

coin toss

[smoky python]

The whole point of the fire deck was that it was a weak deck that we thought would beat everyone (it did) and make them think it was OP (worked)

[worn thicket]

that's what's disgusting with those vertical comps... dude doesn't even need to be good at the game, if they just follow the flow chart and do the same thing everytime, they'll still be fine most of the time

[smoky python]

Welcome to Illuvium

[bronze canopy]

by removing the randomness aspect in game

they added the randomness aspect in match up

its a deck vs deck not a player s player

[serene lance]

im very keen to see these hidden xborg decks on sunday and see if theyre actually any different to the various stuff i have seen already

[smoky python]

There is one deck that nobody is playing

[serene lance]

Is it one specific unit people arent taking advantage of?

[worn thicket]

when both players play "balanced" decks theres actually a lot of positionning you can do, but yeah those cheap crap rushdown decks are just auto-pilot. no way i get myself to play that.

[bronze canopy]

wdym, i love round 2 7 empath/7 fire/7 water builds

[worn thicket]

he won't say, and if he does you can't even trust it cauz he's just gonna mind f*ck you xD

[smoky python]

Hmm kind of

[worn thicket]

there's a tournament with 2k on the line this weekend, no way SJUD shares his tech

[serene lance]

Some things i havnt seen much of: Slashin, Malura, Vermilliare

[lean ivy]

The taunt just makes melle comps really difficult...My units be running across the map

[worn thicket]

Verminio is ok to punish water packs that don't pack correctly, but it they do it stays outside... a 25MP air flish would accomplish just as much

[serene lance]

Haha i just love the whole belittling everyone about the fire rhamp deck and hinting at these gatekept decks, im just excitedto see what they are, i want to have a 'oh shit true' moment, wonder if ill be dissapointed and its all talk 😉

[worn thicket]

that taunt randomness is really upsetting, like the thing right in front of your unit taunted at the same time as 3 other ones who are not in attack range... why is it that everytime your unit will go to the furthest one?! xD

[smoky python]

What makes you think its all talk considering we are sitting on top of the ladder already?

[worn thicket]

sad facts

[west quartz]

@waxen swan will disagree

[serene lance]

A win streak in placements to get heaps of lp and then barely play to avoid losing any doesnt make the ladder matter much right now

[waxen swan]

ahahahah

[worn thicket]

cool, free win

[waxen swan]

umbre is weak??

[worn thicket]

Rake > umbre

[serene lance]

Im just expecting these other decks to be so much better than anything thats being played from how you talk about it

[worn thicket]

cheaper, does the same thing

[waxen swan]

im talking about the line

[smoky python]

They are certainly better than the fire deck lol

[west quartz]

wrong lmao

[worn thicket]

Rake is ok for it's cost i think. question is when do you realistically place Rake over 2 Atippos... xD

[serene lance]

Would you consider the fire deck better than other things being played then? 7 empath rush, water gauntlet spam, collosus verdant toxic, air enchanter gauntlet, ect?

Cause i dont

[smoky python]

I dont think it is

[serene lance]

ya

sunday it is

ill be watching 👀

[worn thicket]

still yet to see a colossus verdant toxic build over 1750 xD

[serene lance]

god of pb2 is playing it

we went back and forth a few times

he was around 1800

[halcyon nova]

those mpath ecks are insane they loock like they are at a U2 rock concert on weed

[serene lance]

with mud too, annoying

[edgy flower]

Who plays mud except me? LoL

[topaz lion]

An epic, I just woke my wife up. 😂

[halcyon nova]

im slowly as in very slowly otimising my deck

[serene lance]

the atk speed reduction is painful

[worn thicket]

@opaque cape doesn't play his deck his planning for the tournament on ladder

[drifting flax]

hahah so good!

[worn thicket]

im pretty sure him and SJUD will bring the same deck

[serene lance]

yes they all will

and by round 2 of the tourney people will copy it lol

or they will gatekeep until they are in losers bracket

gonna be funny

[halcyon nova]

Im hoping only me and the team are playing casual so i can blame my failures on da team .....roflmao

[worn thicket]

i seriously wished that we'd be deck locked for the tournament

no copy pasta but also, we're playing bo1. having multiple decks available would be great in a bo3 setup but here it's bo1 so it's all about getting the info of what did that dude play the previous round

[opaque cape]

if you copy a deck that ive been playing for a week

and you only saw it once, you wont have the same feel and will just lose the mirror match

[serene lance]

Probably, but wont stop people

[worn thicket]

people will still be fine losing the mirror against you if they feel they gonna win everyone else

but yeah if the game balance was on point comfort with the team would prevail over "the right tech"... we just know it's not the case now

[opaque cape]

imo the best setup would be to bring 3 decks

opponents gets to ban 1 of them

and you pick one of the other 2

[azure wigeon]

argh, 29 is so long

[worn thicket]

that's so Hearthstone xD

but yeah i agree that would be a good system

[tulip tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/witchcraft-caryanne-ill-show-you-mine-gif-24804479

[worn thicket]

can we have a list of all the keywords and what they do?
they were included in the v0-2-1 patch notes, not on the new one and yeah would be nice having a definition to check

[edgy flower]

And you should win by both of the rest of your decks 😄

Btw I like the hearthstone system

Wonder if leviathan will be some sort of arena where you create a deck of random cards and play against others random decks

[spark pine]

Anyone know if the arena will be available on mobile? Im assuming it’s pc only but I’m to lazy to go read lol

[brazen quarry]

Arena on mobile is planned for 2025

[spark pine]

Awesome thanks for info! Appreciate it

[worn thicket]

leviathan is supposed to be arena, but with the boosted stats of illuvials found in the wild and different MP scales

iirc

[lethal widget]

Yeah ascendant is like destiny normal pvp, leviathan is iron banner

[edgy bough]

I would love a code!

[tame violet]

WTA about grit and resolve? What do they do exactly?

[frosty canyon]

Getting impatient….. I wanna play arena so bad

[trim ledge]

Whats is better, Pure Attack damage or Physic attack dam?

[edgy flower]

Flat resist the DMG, if you have 30 grit and some1 hit you with less then 30 Phys DMG then you take 0 dmg

[edgy flower]

Pure, it ignores any resists

[trim ledge]

how it works? Its based on hit?

if one illuvial gain 30 pure attack damage, how this dam is done?

[lilac grail]

30 dam per auto attack

if crit and with 150% crit amp. your damage will be 45 pure damage on crit

150% crit amp is the base of all illuvials. every crit amp you add, add 1% to it

[trim ledge]

noice

[onyx sundial]

Just got the chance to starting playing pvp and absolutely loving. Time just flies by. Rocking toxic and its appropriately named haha

[low halo]

I'm in a patch meeting atm and although there are no specifics, there will be a balance patch coming on the 28th

Highly likely things are the gauntlet being OP, but realistically it will not be many things tweaked

[smoky python]

Thanks for the update

[west quartz]

i'd say empath is much more broken than gauntlet though

[low halo]

Water, Empath, Gauntlet are all being discussed as well as tier 0

But can't give any specifics yet, just for those inbvolved in tournaments a patch is coming

[smoky python]

All sound like good things to get some tweaks initially

[west quartz]

thanks !

[low halo]

We do feel apart from a few things it's looking pretty balanced considering all the units aren't in

Obviously come 28th, way more testing will be done

[west quartz]

any slayer buff discussed ? it's kind agarbage atm

[brazen quarry]

[smoky python]

Yah there are just a couple things which is completely normal for any game like this

[formal sail]

@low halo have a time to launch tomorrow?

[brazen quarry]

Sad purple pepe

[low halo]

Honestly it's bizarrely balanced considering the trillions of variables and the game isn't AI balanced yet

Cudos to the QA and internal testing, i was expecting 10x as much trash comps

[west quartz]

agreed

[low halo]

When all characters are in, the game will allow for an order of magnitude of more counterplay

So very exciting times ahead

[west quartz]

any idea when that may occur ? (roughly)

[opaque cape]

things that need some balancing:
-3 air
-5/7 empath

• water gauntlet (cap how many stacks you can get?)
• couple augments

[plain dagger]

It was awesome, gg)

[west quartz]

i think the stakcs aren't the issue, it's the AoE, if you remove the Aoe it gets normal

[onyx sundial]

Yea our games were great! Really had no clue who would take each round haha

[opaque cape]

if it only kills 1 unit each cast, its still -1 unit every 3 seconds

[west quartz]

like it's a 70 weapon that can eventually OS a unit, but just 1 at a time

it can kill once stacked so probably around the 20 seconds mark, seems fair to me

that gives you some time to react and at least it doesn't obliterate your whole frontline at once

[opaque cape]

its too easy to play for how strong it is

and the counterplay to it is kinda lacking

especially since you can move it for free every round and i cant keep up moving my rhamphyre to try guessing where ranger is gonna be

an even bigger issue is probably 3 air, it completely negates every caster deck like rhamphyre/invokers

i think air needs to go to 20/30/40% debuff on the thresholds, not 40% on 3

[west quartz]

i think empaths wreck the gauntlet

[opaque cape]

empaths wreck anything

[west quartz]

indomitable phosphorus probably wrecks it too

[opaque cape]

dont think so

[west quartz]

wanna try in custom ?

[opaque cape]

playing kieran right now i think, he's porklamb right?

[west quartz]

wait that was kieran ? 😮

having a match historical would be nice too

[onyx sundial]

Yeap

[opaque cape]

4 tasty points

[dull wind]

the empath teams are such a pain 😩

we need augments to decrease shield or something

[onyx sundial]

Any tips on how to stop full rogue teams haha

[dull wind]

fight in the corner

[west quartz]

@opaque cape game crashed on your end too ?

[balmy dock]

Hello Guys i Hope i can ask here about mechanics. What makes Frost and Clumsy or. Poisen how much dmg per Stack ?

Aaand i don’t understand the Difference Grit + resolve and Energy , physical Resistenz isnt it the same ?

[opaque cape]

no just took long

[gritty wren]

@umbral oracle GG, what is wrong with your rhamphyre? HAHA

[dark vine]

Hey, Illuvialmaster has a good dictionary for this but to answer some questions:
grit = flat physical reduction
resolve = flat energy reduction
energy resist = % energy reduction
phys resist = % physical reduction

[dark vine]

lets be real here you just want to see the world set on fire by your instant cast rhamphyre 😄

[balmy dock]

Ahh Okey so for example 10 resolve gives 10 less Energy dmg. But Not for dmg over time Like Magma? Where can i finde the illuvialmaster Dictionary?

100 Energy Resist would reduce 100% ?

[arctic pumice]

How can I get code for pvp now? I built some cool deck I would like to try.

[dark vine]

Ok, I can post a link but "illuvialmaster com" should be findable.
Yes, 10 resovle would reduce 100 energy dmg to 90 dmg
Magma or "molten ground" is energy dmg and therfore reduced by resolve (Shouldn't this be true dmg since 25 energy dmg would nearly always be nothing and I know that it does quite some dmg?)
Yes, 100 energy resist = 100% reduction but you basically can't buff that stat

[fair hemlock]

No, resistances are a muliplication factor;
0 resistance is the same as Damage / 1
10 resistance is damage /1.1
100 resistance is damage / 2
Etc.
There are plenty of ways to buff the stat but it isnt broken.

[low halo]

Gonna be a lot of plat players drop down fast when the gauntlet is nerfed lol

[dark vine]

ah, I see misunderstood that. Thanks for jumping in

[uncut comet]

omni vamp is healing per attack?

[fair hemlock]

I think its Healing from all damage sources.
Physical / energy / true damage.

[uncut comet]

oh even better

[dark vine]

maybe they should change this then

[lilac grail]

not sure about pure. because it's precised "physical and energy" on the augment

[fair hemlock]

I mean it just isnt linear but logarithmic ; the higher it gets the less of an effect it will have.

Try to phrase that in a few words:
Ph. Resist: Damage reduction type that logarithmically decreases incoming damage after Grit is subtracted?
Is that even what logarithmically means? Idk im no mathmatician

[fair hemlock]

Oh pardon me. I just thought omni -> all
Like Omni-potent -> all powerful. ^^

[lilac grail]

oh or you might be right. The augment is omni (Would check if pure is included)
Vampiric legendary augment is only physical and energy precised

I mixed the two

[fair hemlock]

I have not conducted research. I may very well be wrong

[dark vine]

the calculation itself helps a lot.
So, your answer was pretty much the best solution
"No, resistances are a muliplication factor;
0 resistance is the same as Damage / 1
10 resistance is damage /1.1
100 resistance is damage / 2"

[fair hemlock]

And then it suddenly is an entire paragraph! Difficult to put that into a sentence of up to 10 words.

[dark vine]

? 😛

[fair hemlock]

Thou hast made a valid point! Lol

[proven ember]

Empaths are slightly bugged atm, misscommunication internally and we've got some stacking behaviour on omega that wasn't intended

which is exasperated by water

so empaths we'll not be touching directly, just addressing the stacking behaviour (that may make them too weak)

we'll be bringing down top end water

gauntlet nerfs across the board but more so on the water gauntlet

aiming for patch on the 29th

and a follow up patch on the 1st if needed with anything revealed after the 29th 🙂

[fair hemlock]

Fire comp fine as is? 👀 I guess i just have yet to figure out how to beat it lol

[proven ember]

Seeing some things beat it semi-reliably. Not wanting to change too much on the first - will see how things settle

softly softly - cos our balance is in a very good state for an early release

(we think/hope 😄 )

[dark vine]

That is soo true. Totally crazy for this state (Maybe for any state)

[balmy dock]

Sorry i don’t understand. So for example molten ground do 25 dmg per second. If the Enemy Target has 50 Energy resist , how much dmg it takes ?

[fair hemlock]

25 / 1.50 -> 16 [2/3] 🙂

Ben halp. Is it this simple? XD

[fair hemlock]

Ahhh

[proven ember]

you would take 16.6 damage per second

[dark vine]

but isn't that reduced by resolve and therefor basically 0?

[fair hemlock]

Depends on whether you have resolve

[dark vine]

So, 16.6 - 20 resolve

most have above 16.6 with buffs and stuff

but I saw that the dmg my Sear did going up after he died

[lusty sleet]

Chilling doing some Arena in VC if anyone wants some games 😄

[fair hemlock]

No it would be 25 energy damage -20 resolve = 5 energy damage.
Then 5 damage * (100 / (100+resist))
So in the last case would be 3.33 damage per second

[proven ember]

resolve first - so would be changing input damage by 10 - if you had 10 resolve 😛

[fair hemlock]

I dont understamd what the difference is between
Damage x (100 / (100+resist))
Or
Damage / (1 + resistx0.01)

It should be the same right? XD i prefer the bottom one.

[dark vine]

I see thanks 🙂

[umbral oracle]

So broken

[low halo]

@supple cave
Amazing how the gauntlet got you so far lol

https://tenor.com/view/adam-sandler-somebodys-closer-happy-gilmore-gif-9435665

[night ermine]

Do we know exactly when the game will be available on the Epic Game Store ? (date - hour)

[limber scroll]

20utc if i am right

[safe valve]

just got illuvials removed when round started and got MP removed when next prep round started...
known bugs, or did i miss something op ? 😄

[night ermine]

So ~28 hours from now ?

[lethal widget]

Ranks persistent or reset on release?

[proven ember]

reset on release

[limber scroll]

release like tomorrow or release like public beta?

[untold plover]

known bug, if i remember right it will be fixed with the release tomorrow

[proven ember]

not tomorrow.

will be resets when significant changes occur

[limber scroll]

thanks ben.

[supple cave]

every 2-3 games i get a game-breaking bug

either units disappear before battle or the game just stays on "waiting for opponent" forever and i need to exit. I tried waiting 15 minutes and yeah.. nothing happens

will stay like this until I leave game

[clever garden]

I experience this kind of issue about 1 hour ago in a match. Didn’t see this before

Didn’t observe yesterday

[dark vine]

but somehow this is off ?!
I mean why is a full empath lineup with max 73 dmg doing dmg against 150 grit/resolve?

[fair hemlock]

150!? How did you make that happen lol

[dark vine]

bulwark earth

played against only t0 empath

[fair hemlock]

Try checking the damage bars. Maybe some are pure damage. Maybe they ignore some % of defense through augments. Maybe you just are confusing grit and resolve with Physical and energy resist.

Bulwark gives X resist right? And earth should give grit and resolve up to like 50

But other than that idk. I dont have the affinities and classes with me rn xD sorry if im wrong.

[dark vine]

oh, wow, you are right... I confused the symbol for energy /physical resist with grit and resolve and didn't notice that bulwark gives resist

sorry 😄 I am just stupid 😄

[supple cave]

two games in a row

Phosphorous is a beat. I can't waiting owning some of those hehe

[dull wind]

does omni vamp work with true damage?

oh I see you discussed this up there

[zenith bough]

26 hours so far. Long time since I have played a game that much in a few days

[noble radish]

If you are having trouble with a game disconnecting please try to close down the game and load it up again. There are currently a few bugs that can cause this that we are working through.

hey maybe stupid question but if a fire unit run into a toxic unit which is water + nature nobody get faster hyper right?

[lone lotus]

when can plebs get in?

[brazen quarry]

Tomorrow

[zenith bough]

Hyper is determined by dominant affinity only. So it depends on their dominant trait. If water = no hyper. If nature = fast hyper

[lone lotus]

it's 28th now for me tho

[uncut comet]

allright makes sense now

@gritty wren GG WP as always sir

[gritty wren]

GG!

[ancient sundial]

bang bang just got it 🤩

[arctic pumice]

man, all is redeemed..

[naive mantle]

i think the ranking system needs some work

[fair hemlock]

Imagine it being 2 units though, one dominant nature, one dominant water.
Fire is -2 [very bad] for nature, and +1 [slightly good] for water. So the water would gain a single point. Your fire however would gain 1 point as well.

[honest pawn]

I agree

this placement is too harsh, and after that. it's too slow

[fair hemlock]

maybe it's the first few games that are especially harsh

[honest pawn]

overwhelmingly harsh and slow

[onyx sundial]

@dull wind lol

[dull wind]

we got rekt

I left

[onyx sundial]

Yea same. Haha you definitely had the W as well

[dull wind]

it was gg, cheers

[vernal forum]

Any code for game please

[uncut comet]

i just tried my opponent had 3 toxic infront with water dominant i put an air unit to them and my 2 fire more on side but when i looked on hyper my air unit had -2 and my fire both +2 and his toxic had both 2 was kinda weird maybe i missed something

[past mica]

hey so if I'm planning on holding a shield is there a 1 hander that would go with it?

[fair hemlock]

probably 2 nature 1 water. That would give your fire +3 though but would explain -2 for air

[uncut comet]

i think i missed his ranger he was the 3. toxic prob with nature thats why my fire got both 2

and my air -2

[dull wind]

gg @uncut comet

[uncut comet]

gg always problems against toxic dunno what to do xD

[dull wind]

you almost had me tho

[fair hemlock]

1 tank + psion. The tank will keep the enemy away, your psions will destroy it.

in theory that should work xD

never tried

[uncut comet]

i want to beat them with my rogue deck somehow but also those indomitable/invulnerable augments cockblocking so hard

would be nice if rogue could jump half the way so u can put some in middle and they jump in backline and some at the end and they jump in the middle , like its now u have no choice xD

[stark swift]

I had a shock/psion comp with 2 colo to tank, it's fine, but it does get wrecked pretty hard by water gaunt comp so it feels bad to play

[fair hemlock]

Water gaunt is confirmed going to be nerfed

[stark swift]

Turns out getting AoE 1-shot isn't good for psions

I know, that doesn't help me today 😛

[summer frigate]

my game just froze

Are the servers ready to handle more players tomorrow ?

[rancid raptor]

Are people going to need codes after the 28th to play arena?

[summer frigate]

I don't think so

[rancid raptor]

Just to know if I can gather some friends to learn the game together

[worldly jolt]

No (should have replied to the other message I guess)

[zenith bough]

It will be available for everyone like Fortnite. No code needed

[zenith bough]

I did. 😃 just slower

Slower in every channel

[worldly jolt]

Slower than me… wow. That’s slow

https://tenor.com/view/cormbreab-llama-big-teeth-smile-my-mom-says-im-special-gif-14039449

A bit overwhelming amount of options in the arena. Got to get through that learning curve

[zenith mortar]

lots of helpful guides in #🎨〕community-content

Is there a guide that allows me to brute force the epic games laucher to give me access?

@civic grotto G

[civic grotto]

3 games in a row i ecounter same deck from 3 different players

toxic, collosus, berserker

[dull wind]

@opaque cape man that team is absurd 😩

[opaque cape]

its broken, needs nerf

[dull wind]

indeed

I put 2 healing nerf augments in my deck because of our previous match and not even like that

those shields are 2 much

[coarse echo]

gotta find counters. don't just play the same comp expecting different results 🙂

[opaque cape]

healing debuff doesnt work on shields

[dull wind]

what have you lost to with that team @opaque cape ?

[opaque cape]

nothing

undefeated

[dull wind]

kek 🤣

[opaque cape]

like 10-0 right now

[dull wind]

I think that awnsers you @coarse echo

it's broken

give us shield mitigation augments

[coarse echo]

it does say something, but could also mean the current meta just doesn't know how to deal with it. we will see.

[opaque cape]

also dont forget im one of the top players out there 😄

[dull wind]

the build seems pretty much cookie cutter to me but you're good 💯

[serene lance]

Good to hear you guys ended up sorting out a balance patch for this week, gonna make it even more competitive and fun 💯

[west quartz]

won once with mud when you didn't place yourself in corner

[opaque cape]

true

but since i went corner its unbeaten

[west quartz]

full fire with double fliish could work i think

7 fire 3 psions 3 fliich with fire gauntlet

[opaque cape]

lets hope so

cause its too easy with this 😦

[summer frigate]

You’re using the empath & Templar deck ?

[opaque cape]

yes

[honest pawn]

That's the build I came up with yesterday

havent lost with it

[wheat sable]

Think I better play Zero hahaha

[oak sigil]

the same happened to me, just took some notes about that trio

[wheat sable]

Getting rage vibes, the game works

[oak sigil]

the game even works on a shitty mac pro 2015

[wheat sable]

how do you get your ulti faster?

[onyx sundial]

Is there anyway to unbond the ranger yet? Or do we have to sell the illuvial and take the -25% cost

[raven obsidian]

i think undo button bottom left will undo 1 last move

not sure if it work on bonding tho

theoretically it should

[granite osprey]

ranger Tanto has "Exploaiting Weakness" on Omega. what happened to enemy or something?@coarse echo

[west plume]

@mighty tulip GG

[coarse echo]

"exploit weakness" does increased damage per missing health

so it does more damage the lower their health

[west plume]

Lol

[mighty tulip]

GG let's try again 😁

[west plume]

@mighty tulip

[wheat sable]

Seems more is better ....

[mighty tulip]

Don't judge me 🤣

[rancid raptor]

Hi everyone, loving PvP so far, can anyone explain how or if dominant affinities hace an effect on hyper? Or is it only used to bind you ranger

[mighty tulip]

Nice deck, gg

[raven obsidian]

gg @odd dust that was a close one. Verry simlar builds too

[opaque cape]

@west quartz gg 😄

[west quartz]

don't know if we can call that good game though lmao

[coarse echo]

I watched. That was top tier snooze content.

[west quartz]

at least now we know that the best empath counter is empath lol

[odd dust]

gg!

[wheat sable]

empath need nerf :p

[gritty wren]

@prime shard

[prime shard]

thanks

[night quest]

thanks

[wheat sable]

going to rank zero

[zenith mortar]

not if i beat you there

[wheat sable]

I put 3 shock illivuals on the board but I did not get synergy? why?

[fair hemlock]

Try Nature phosphorus with attack speed and omega power per omega. as long as you give it 40 seconds, it will shred through anything

[raven obsidian]

they are probably from the same line

not probably, they are

[wheat sable]

so there are not enough shock illivals at the moment

ok lol

[wheat sable]

ty

[fair hemlock]

next patch with the last Illuvials and you'll have 3 Shock Illuvial - lines 🙂

[dull wind]

what is considered "on assist" ?

[fair hemlock]

Red panda, Tree kangaroo and the Squid

[wheat sable]

was trying to build around shock after I noticed nothing happened

[raven obsidian]

yeah only quid line is shock atm, you can bond ranger with certain weapon to correct affinity to get extra shock on board. and maybne get lucky and get a legendary augment for third

[wheat sable]

should diverse more, one line at one time on the board

something to check later

[raven obsidian]

have fun with it, so many combos to build 🙂

[rancid raptor]

Do we earn interest in PvP for not spending points?

[limpid snow]

are those overworld codes?

[raven obsidian]

no, survival only for economy play

[west quartz]

how did you watch it btw i wasn't streaming it 🧐

[willow widget]

just played pvp for the first time today, gg guys game is great

[coarse echo]

you can activate the shock synergy with any of the squids and a shock ranger

[opaque cape]

i was

[honest pawn]

shock will be so op when red panda comes out

[raven obsidian]

@karmic drum gg, i f'd up and bonded to wrong illuvial at a certain wave

[honest pawn]

i can see it

[stark swift]

Ophisto's Omega is super fun to play with, proccing the double cast feels great

I'll definitely be playing some shock teams when there's more available

[worldly token]

quick question: granite for example gains extra grit and resolve for every earth illuvial - do the earth from granit count aswell? like from other granites or even itsself?

[opaque cape]

granite doesnt get grit/resolve from earth, only from granite

[fair hemlock]

so it also doesn't get the 10 for the entire team?

[opaque cape]

from the primary synergies earth the whole team that isnt earth gets the small bonus, so that includes the granite units

[worldly token]

sooo granite and earth doesnt really work together other than earth giving a bonus to the whole team? and I assume this is the same for other affinities then?

[oak sigil]

toxic colossus berserker works 🙂

my tenth round so far, and no bugs to report, I guess the game is goddamn ready to be public

[worldly token]

also did not find any bugs so far! really well done game in my oppinion. There is still room for little impovements, but that is just cherry on the cake. For example I would like to be able to look at the board again after the last round (to work out what I could have done / placed differently for example). But maybe thats just me. I sent a feedback though 🙂

[lethal widget]

Lmao the number of t0 spam and/or gauntlet teams is ridonculous

[oak sigil]

Just want to know: what is meant with on assist?

[lavish basin]

will be available in 9 min?

[neat walrus]

In PvP, am I matched with someone close to my rate?

[west quartz]

i haven't seen a single gauntlet team all day

[west quartz]

ideally, yes

[west quartz]

and the very second i said it, i tagged one lmao

[opaque cape]

ive only seen 1 gauntlet team

i think it was @cyan olive

[stray gull]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-riddler-tv-evil-funny-gloves-comedy-suspense-comicstrip-doctor-prostate-gif-18574123

opens client

[lavish basin]

the game will be available for download in 5 min?

[cyan olive]

Wanted to see if axodon scaling omega on casting omega would be any good, didn’t work out

[opaque cape]

hard to tell when this empath deck is completely busted

could be decent into other matchups

[granite osprey]

29TH　ON PATCH

[warped marsh]

@cyan olive code?

[lavish basin]

plssss need a codeee witing for 2 years this game ahah

[west quartz]

21 hours to go

[wispy quail]

can Augments stack? aka use the same augment but different tiers?

[serene lance]

Yep

[carmine gorge]

Why the button to download the game is greyed out ? I have entered a code but can't download anything

[oak sigil]

the empath deck is ridiculously unbeatable, there is s.th. unproportional about it

[naive mantle]

im so fing bad at this gam3e

i get so sadwhen i lose

arena made me thought i was better

but no im a smelly asshole garbage dump

i just want to be good

bring back coaching

[oak sigil]

Still , it was GG, Caveman 🙂

[serene lance]

Dont be so hard on yourself 😆

You gotta realise most people playing rn have been around and know what theyre doing, wait 1 more day and there will be thousands of newbies to play against

[stray gull]

Try reopening epic launcher 🙂

[honest pawn]

ok there is a bug when I sold my socoriox, any move I made this turn doesnt get placed

happened 2 games in a row

that's pretty bad

[serene lance]

Pretty sure thats fixed next patch

Along with the mastery point issue

[stray gull]

Yeah

Spike is spot on

[serene lance]

I have a question, i feel like someone from the arena gave dev team would only know, maybe not.

When an augment says “nearest ally” does it determine the closest one via the first closest hex of an ally illuvial, or the very centre, or the most coverage?

For example if i have a big unit like Ophisto right butt up against the other illuvial (who has the ‘give nearest ally’ augment) as in their hexes are touching, but on the other side is a tiny doka with a gap of say 1-3 hexes between them but his centre is closer than the ophisto, who does it pick?

[safe valve]

Why deleted?
Where you got this from @languid sparrow ?

[languid sparrow]

I made it

I will repost it jsut need to corect a little thing on it.

[safe valve]

Where do you have the raw numbers from?

[honest pawn]

is the next patch tomorrow?

[safe valve]

cheers mate

[safe valve]

i read 29 for patch.

[dense helm]

Seriously take a few months off playing, they change a bunch of stuff, and now I suck bad 😦

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/motivation-you-can-do-it-gif-22373129

[dense helm]

I probably can't take launch day off to 'git gud'

[ebon meadow]

Empath needs nerf ASAP

7 empath round 2 is insane

[summer frigate]

Everyone is using empath and the gauntlet team lmao

[ebon meadow]

yeah making game literally unplayable

no room for other comps

[lethal widget]

I was playing tsunami gauntlet, then stopped when I saw other people were using it

Become a meme real quick

Team is super on it, so I suspect will look v different tomorrow after launch

/on the 29th or whenever a patch comes

[lethal widget]

Yes if on different illuvials

[wispy quail]

so if its on the same one it wont stack?

[lethal widget]

Don’t think you can place on the same one? Won’t let you iirc

[wispy quail]

It does let me do it but I jsut dont now if they both activate

[lethal widget]

Oh nvm then maybe it does

Lmk

[reef basalt]

it stacks. Example is putting the double energy augments on rhamphyre which allows it to almost instantaneously cast its omega

[wispy quail]

okay thanks 🙂 aka I assume u do this to everyone when your playing haha

[reef basalt]

I play off meta teams currently which is why I havent been ranking up lol

The ones I stack usually are the healing inhibitors against the empath teams lol

[hallow notch]

I'm messing around trying different combos for fun. Playing pure meta has never been as fun to me, feels stale. Hard to rank up and play non meta comps. Keeps it challenging.

[reef basalt]

💯

[tacit lantern]

Has the arena released for public yet?

[limpid snow]

tomorrow

[tacit lantern]

👍

[ebon meadow]

if u activate 7 empath ur account should get locked till tomorrow

I really hope it's fixed for launch tomorrow for player retention sake

[obtuse summit]

Can we all play now?

[hearty sleet]

@olive hedge did our game just freeze up?

[olive hedge]

yhea I was gonna come back on your a s s 🤣

tables were about to turn for sure

lol

[hearty sleet]

lol sure they were

Should we just try to get out and restart?

This hasn’t happened to me before

[past mica]

I have 20+ people watching my youtube stream and am trying to play with a viewer, does anyone have a code for me?

[serene lance]

@zenith mortar ?

[past mica]

viewers are dying off

anyone help @dark stump

[limpid snow]

man ive been waiting for three hrs on here for a code drop beter get them typing fingers ready lol\

[zenith mortar]

I dont have any more currently

[coarse echo]

distance measured to the center

[past mica]

No worries but I'll have to play something else then, thanks anyway

[stray gull]

I'm all out also, and it's usually when Jeremy is asleep (I think)

[limpid snow]

shiz ight im out then been here 3 hours just wanna play overworld all night no work tomorrow gotta take the L and play elder ring or somthing lol

[past mica]

yep just moved my 25+ viewer stream to tarkov

[stray gull]

Sorry man, If I had any others 😢

[limpid snow]

rain check save me one pleaseeeeeee

[limpid snow]

i have not played that looks fun tho!

[past mica]

yeah, it's incredible, if you like shooters I can't recommend it enough, easily one of the best games to ever release

[limpid snow]

might just giver a try tonight!

[past mica]

feel free to friend me if you want, would be more then happy to run with you over the weekend...I've ended my stream for now, waiting 20 min for a code while everyone stared at me then not getting the code was pretty vibe killing, so im gonna play off stream, have a good night dude

[limpid snow]

hell yea man i definetly will if i get it! peace out!

[spark pine]

What time is the launch time for arena?

[vernal forum]

Nov 28th 8PM UTC

[spark pine]

Second question may be for a different server but does overworld return with arena? And how to get access to that when it returns

[vernal forum]

If you had access for private beta 2, you can play OW tomorrow when released

[spark pine]

Awesome! I don’t remember if I had pb2 lol my comp graphics died and took a while to buy a new one! Came back to try and get access and found all this info so exciting lol

Thanks for the info bro @vernal forum

[vernal forum]

no probs man

[tender laurel]

do we get illuvitars by default?

[reef basalt]

No. Need to get one at the illuvidex or buy a d1sk then set it as your pfp on the site. It gets reflected in game

[serene lance]

Thanks mate

[supple cave]

people using the water gauntlet should give up on life lol

LOL_Zodd was a joke just now...

[serene lance]

My first game today, enemy places 5 attipos and 7 empaths lol cool

[zenith mortar]

need those healing debuffs in every deck lol

[serene lance]

Good luck with that, its shields that are the problem

[zenith mortar]

ah ben addressed it sounds like its a unintended bug.. slooks like should be fixed in update on 29th

[serene lance]

Yeah awesome, Ben at first said there wasn't going to be any balance changes in the patch, so I'm glad you guys changed your mind haha, just a couple broken things gone will make it way more competitive and fun, will make launch and sundays tourney way better

[zenith mist]

gg @stray gull 🔥

[stray gull]

gg dude!

[honest pawn]

does anyone know what true sight does?

[spark dagger]

immune to blind

[hearty sleet]

Do shields work against both physical and energy damage?

[honest pawn]

thanks, I have been using it wrong lol

[spark dagger]

Illuvialmaster has a dictorary page if you ever need to remind yourself what something means lol I am double checking it all the time as of late it seems 😂

[spice iris]

https://tenor.com/view/gökhanöner-gokhan-oner-gökhan-oner-gokhanöner-dans-gif-26227242

[honest pawn]

will do!

[austere prism]

What a lame team to play and win with @rancid timber

[rancid timber]

First time trying it. I agree its lame. Someone played it against me so I figured I'd try it out. It needs nerf

[austere prism]

Most of the linear teams are dominating.

Heavy one or two classes or affinities.

Until they come up against something that challenges their hyper.

[rancid timber]

I've noticed that. I'm trying anything and everything right now just to learn how it all works

[serene lance]

Everyone is abusing empaths, if thats what your talking about,its getting patched within 2 days team has confirmed.

[austere prism]

I’ll probably end up with your team the way I’ve been changing 😂

[rancid timber]

I'm gonna have to show it to @fallen vortex

[restive marsh]

Hi, for anyone who has been playing the new PVP, the Ascendent arena guide says you start with 120 mastery points. However, I’ve seen people say it’s 100. Which amount is right?

[spark dagger]

right now it's 100 in PVP

[restive marsh]

OK thanks for clarifying

[fallen vortex]

Someone ran 7 water and gauntlet against me

so incredibly stupid

making me real bored with pvp real quick

😛
