we got baited into thinking it was op but in fact if you don't kill R4 unless you make a massive positioning outplay you're kinda doomed
although you should ask senna, i'm terrible with this team, it cost me 200 elo to try it yesterday night
xdd
yeah, i just want to try it
I warned you not to play yesterday....
ik
but there's no point not playing until you're at least top 3 imo
I agree but not with this meta random😆
Has the hotfix for Jotun been depolyed?
nop
ehm...2 days like this...can t play. Any fix soon aight?
new color 👍
not funny at all
the bug with new login auto gets you in the bugged game?
i saw something with deleting a folder in appdata
#🎮〕illuvium-arena message if you want to play in another account
my main is stucked too 🫂
Jotun has to be hotfixed same as his moving pattern! Lost me two games 50lp.
Cause he was walking around like there are no enemies.
they're working on it that's why the patch got delayed
Thats because hes blocked, be sure to position so that it doesnt happen
Just checked illuvial master and it doesn't seem to register some of my games. Played about 8 matches yesterday in one sitting and only shows 4
yes I noticed days ago..I think API is still not optimized
Once again, my game got stucked after winning a game on round 7 ☠️
Thankfully my opponent surrended and it worked this time
guys wen top1000 reward distribution?
Resolve is bugged
fix the game guys before content creator reward..the game first..marketing later
If we didn't have this and leaderboard rewards we probably would have A LOT less games played and wouldn't have found all this bugs
I am very sure they are doing their best to fix everything as soon as possible. Not all things can be done in such a short amount of time
fair point grimaldi, but not good advertising moment if the content creator on live stream find all these bugs, stck accounts and so on
hey guys
i have another question^^
how can you get frost in first turn?
when I play Jotun and bond my ranger with it, wont i get the dominant attribute instead of the frost?
ah, when i have the weapon which combines an attribute i will get that one.
Okey, thank you very 🙂
so when i have a water weapon and the dominant is water of my illuvial, i will get tsunami + 1?
yes
ah okey, nice. thanks dude 🙂
hello, I checked arena leaderboard and found that there are a lot of players with 1372 rating and all of them on 575th place. Is it bug? And when leaderboard reset?
we have other more relevant issues here..can t play my main coz infinite loop bug, all those players at the same rating is quite strange btw
years ago wen these things appeared (other games eh) ..we were facing bots tbh
Should be people who created account at the begining when we used to start with 1500 points, they lost a little bit on the reset and are all togheter with 1372, but since they didn't play any matches they won't get rewards.
Ben said we aren't getting a reset anytime soon
soooo bulwarks, right?
A steam engulfed dualeph cant kill a sinle lesser grokko with his first ability? The damage was not spread and he was not interrupted. 25 MP Grokko survived? That sounds absurd to me
how is the medium area on augments measured? is it from the center of the illuvial or from from its edges, if from the center then something like Gnarl has rather big disadvantage?
Good question. And not only that, but what is the activaion area? The center of the illuvial or the first hex in contact?
should be from the center...by logic?
Yea it would be great if augments that have an area effect have the area size highlighted when you're dragging and dropping it onto an illuvial
Center. It works the same way with the monkey stun. The center hex needs to be within the stun radius.
hi, any nerf programmed ? i played like 15 games in 24hrs and endded up fighting 15 times the same comp
I have requested this week ago, hope they will implement this soon. Also for omegas
Yes, it is needed for any aoe effect in the game. This ux ui qol is pretty important for onboarding of new players as the game gets easier to understand and more empiric.
It was planned for mon-tue, so it should be inbound.
I even requested trajectories of skillshot omegas, but for start aoe is fine
We need a few more days of frost/behe meta.There are still like 3 or 4 people who arent playing this one and only team.So data is not conclusive, perhaps its not op enough?
Ok, what are the tips for winning the opening Jotun/ranger mirror round? It's clearly not just RNG, because I'm something like 1 for 30 now in the opening rounds.
With a patch incoming I guess I don't even care about "tips". It's more that I want to understand why I'm losing nearly every single one. I start with the ranger behind Jotun in what seems to be a close copy of the most popular lineup in the back corner (seems to differ by a few hexs from my opponent sometimes, but nothing I see as significant).
you want your ranger not attacked, and both of your units focusing same target as much as possible.
fix the game..stop being silent
Impossible.All employees frozen...
Lol that be cool
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holly u r killin me
soon
i dont get it actually how the omega bar fills.
I mean the hyper bar fills while attacking or with some buffs/debuffs from illuvials around.
and how does the omega bar fills? Attackts too? So the same?
For who want to counter the 5 bulwark bear team
https://play.illuvium.io/team-builder/bdc42ff6-0543-41ab-b485-7b25d9458407
Just start with shock enchanter ranger then change to magma with scoriox later all clumped in the corner, have fun
C:\Users\accountname\AppData\Local\Illuvium rename save data to save./old\
save.old
fixed alot of my bugs,
Attacking and receiving damage
I dont know the maths behind it tho, I hope we had them...
WEN HOTFIX?!
Of Jotun, what takes so long?
Its such a coinflip, not even funny anymore.
Moving patterns absolutley super weird.
Has nothing to do with skill, just dropping down this stupid overbuffed bear and ranger and making sure they hitting same targets 24/7 LOL
Nice. Good job.
For real more RNG then TFT.
LOL
grimaldi posted a team - give it a go
must be the best coinfliper ever
Haven't tried your deck yet.
I actually did it with the 5 bulwark and jotun deck, but a lot of people is starting to use this new deck in high ranks
one of my losses was against it
Your streaming your playstyle with your deck, would love to see how you beating all these yolo Jotun ranger decks.
They are aiming to hot fix other bugs with the update
Wen update then?
Beated your version every time I faced it with the deck from Web3gamingTv
That's why I'm curious how you pulling it off.
It's not my deck actually, people started using it yesterday but its something like
r1: kukkulus + squizz + shock enchanter range
r2: 3 bulwark
r3: 2 bulwark + kukkaraph
r4: change bonding to scoriox and magma enchanter...
Yeah thats the way I have seen it as well (the deck you posted) played.
That's why I was wondering how you playing it differently.
Idk, my guess is tmrw
It is only good vs bw frost tho. Loses to everything else
So its an expensive tech to run in a deck
I guess that's worth tho, considering everyone is aping into bw behe frost
rock (bw behe frost) paper (shock enchanter) scissors ( everything else)
behemoth frost beats shock thing and psion thing though if you play well most of the time
then again if you play well, you also win most mirrors
but that would be hard to admit, because then it isn´t all luck ; )
sry grima
shock thing outplays frost players easily though as well
I heard the same yesterday, this patch should have never gone live.
Well good that at least "the pros" are having fun stomping everyone else (mass player base).
LOL
rather skillfull mirros> loosing to random 400mmr lower guy playing a team that is sueper bad but niche counter
No comments.
ok
I didn´t say the game should be like this
you said noone likes it
I do
doesn´t mean it should be like this
you give very aggressive emotional feedback, so I can state my person opinion and preference as well I guess
Well nobody does of the average player base regarding the over buffed bear
Well if that's the way you interpret me - it is what it is. But that's not my business. It's simply doesnt go into my mind how you can debuff a terrorbird and at the same time overbuff the next thing.
mate things will change, indefinitely, only matter of time, its not the end of the world rn
fixes take some time, the drama lol
cheers
Death and funeral of every one of us is also only matter of time - so stay optimistic !
And probably there will be something else dominating the meta next patch, if you can’t handle it you should wait for the game launch instead of playing the beta
Being aggressive to the devs job doesn’t help anyone
Imagine how toxic it would be if not everyone had all the units.Some people would be absolutely undefeted - braggin how good they are ;P
Also saying exactly what you said " git good"
Yeah I'm simply emotional about it since so much time has passed and we're still kinda a few months away from Open Beta (makes no sense in playing OW or IZ which will get reset again and again before launch.
Actually it may be fun to predict now, what will be next dominating meta after changing frost.Im betting on psions, what do you guys think?
I joined here in august 2021 thinking I would be playing by december 21 😂
At least now we’re really close
We are expecting to have open beta in Q2 2024 ?
Yep, early Q2
I already have a few different teams built and I do think psion will be a very popular team, but it is easy to counter with rogues and with the augments being nerfed it is easy to make two teams in one deck. So it will be interesting to see what combination people come up with. Especially since 7 anything is strong
Players feedback has been heard loud and clear on Beta 1.
There is a huge amount of work going on for Arena and Overworld.
We aren't cloning a proven formula from Web2, iterating based on feedback and deep testing was always going to be necessary.
Totally agree 💯
Joiuned 2months later then you 🥂
Still not regretting it. The game has so much potential!
One of the reasons it makes me so emotional.
Glad to hear that!
Looking forward playing the new versions!
The new patch have same issue as beforde. One team is too strong. The peoples simple copy it. Jotun Water or Air + Fighter Air or Watcher = 2 Behemoth Frost = This advantage can you catch up only very difficult. With the time this is very boring.
I test many other teams over the time and lost nearly always.
For this beta time it is okay. For open beta I hope the Illuvium Team balance it out.
In open beta price of frost units would by skyrocketing now ^ ^
Sure - It is not easy to forge or catch it
how is forging going to work?
I'm a bit earlier March of 2021
Nick, is it likely that we get the patch tomorrow? 😊
It's so niche now... every team is Jotun and comes down to augment and placement. Every game is groundhog's day
We can all agree that current meta is unhealthy for the playerbase.
They are pushing to get the patch done asap
Frost would be much mor einteresting if it was applying effect in a cone effect infront of unit or something
Yup, each aa. It would be much better and increase player agency.
Similar mechanic should be applied on toxic, and remove aoe tick system.
I did this proposal a few days back as well sir
Really would love to see this implemented. Much more skilled gameplay
So has been the one before.
@lament frigate can t say he s not right eh
Ideally having 6+ basic archetypes that can successfully compete... along with a few troll archetypes would allow for enough variation and creativity in comp making
Regarding to who?
haha, missunderstood your message xD
Is hyperbonus bugged?
I gave my Jotun nature affinity and he had 5 enemy air units around him, but he got zero hyper
The one before was worse in many senses, but at least multiple decks could be played. This one is bad cuz of frost monopoly
Yeah kinda feels like (from the outside) 0 learning.
One coinflip patch after another.
As long as we're getting it together till OB we should be fine.
it's still frusttrating.
I disagree tho, the last patch nailed many topics. I agree that is frustrating sometimes because from the outside everything looks easy.
I for one have the sense that could significantly improve the game with many of my ideas, but again, it is not as easy as it seems.
We are lab rats, if you like the game and want it to succeed, you need to be more constructive with your feedback sir.
I mean it can be frustrating because when I read the patch notes first things I said were, bloom is overnerfed and frost behe and jotun would be op as fuck. Even tho that seemed obvious, it might not be as easy as it seems.
Maybe they even did it on purpose as they wanted to check how frost illuvials were performing or even if they were generating any bugs.
Again, they wont tell us but we are the rats of fucking laboratory. You can do this for the cause or just wait till the game is fully out and ai balanced.
Fair enough.
Hyper is only applied through dominant affinity not augments
17 out of 17 matches i have played against same matchup and its come down to flip a coin now. Please make a nerf and balance this.
Do you know if it counts towards enemy hyper?
it's on the way
Augments don't count twords any hyper. They only add an additional affinity and add the affects to the illuviul that it is on but don't change the illuviuls dominant affinity. The dominant affinity is what affects hyper for both your team and the other
ye it s on the way...3 days they say..it s today or tomorrow morning
I think every time you complain they get it done faster, good job
Jotun is ICE so it can only ever have water or air affinity right? Never nature. What exactly did you do that made you think you gave jotun nature affinity? Did you bond him with your ranger? That only gives your ranger an additional affinity.
listen @sacred finch I truly loved this game but lately I have to admit we re going not backward..but something similar. We are all here ( me since day 1) to support and see this game shine..but..being stuck out of the game for days for a "unknown bug"..being forced to play ONE build coz there is no counter..make feel very sad. /salute
Waiting many days for a balance hotfix in developlent period where normally game devs are the most active is rather concerning.
oooff this one felt good
Prolly legendary augment Peli
How fast people forget that bloom arcanite was mirrored most of the inferno final 4 matchups each week. Having the best players playing the same build and then being copied isnt anything new. Frost will get nerfed and in a few days we will have a new meta everyone is playing and everyone will be back to complaining here again. I feel bad for the devs that actively check in here.
I can't stand playing most meta builds, i much more enjoy trying to figure out stuff that works well against what everyone else is copying fomr youtubers, but this onw is especially bad, its practicall ypointless to do anything not-jotun.
I dropped from being in top 100 to being below 900 mmr
By the way, has anyone received arena rewards form first snapshot?
yes same
im now black border elo
slightly below average frost vs enchanter shock game
Many days is a week, wth dude. In what world do we live in.
It would be cool to have a game mode in which each game is totally different. You know, the time I enjoy arena the most is rifht after the patch, when everyone is testing and adapting. That is cool.
Youtube ruins that aspect of the game, most people prefer to copy.you can't do anything about it in strategy game.
Yes, people are fkin copycats
Ofcourse having one and only one metabuild so much stronger than anything else does not help.
With people needing to own illuvials after open beta copying might not be as simple, so that might make things mor einteresting
That's what you did in every match against me. Copy the deck and the playstyle mr copycat. 6/1 against you, ez.
@noble radish I think the way to go is creating a mode with max game variability. A mode containing multiple factors creating actual player decisions each round that have the power to change the entire direction of the game. Something much more impactful than legendary augments. Otherwise the meta gets stagnant pretty fast.
Lulz
Good boy brother
i actially love meta where we had bloom, tsunami earth, psions, berserkers and some others decks, like 4-5 playble decks, that was awesom
I remember years ago enviorementalists were rising lament over saving Polar Bears from melting ice and such.. after this game i fell this community would be like " Use frigging napalm and make extinction faster!"
Emote spammers have 0 right to complain about anything.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tomorrow we might get that back but with all the improvements the game has in last patch.
Just adjust frost-behe-jotun, buff bloom a bit and we are in a sweet spot
That would be osom!
Yeah ❤️
Yeah and jotun / frost buffed to the moon.
Yeah yeah, they anihilated phosphorus, and not only that, removing health regen on bloom was a very tough change. Bloom is earth+nature, it makes sense to buff sturdiness and regen, not OP. Idk why they kept OP and removed Regen, should have been the opposite
cant we just delete jotun from the game and the lore and all
My theory is they did it on purpose? I mean, think of it. It was so fucking obvious that this was going to be overpowered. It's like they wanted us to play those units to check for bugs and shit
LOL hahahah
Data they had about frost was that nobody plays it, its not that they overbuffed it, they removed other things that had priority, AND on top they buffed fromst AND behemoth - both were not played
I mean, im guessing obviously
Not sure the patch will be tomorrow, and I'm still not sure about snapshots, we have grima and other players who can't play mains, so is it fair to ignore their stucked accs?
But hope after the fix we will have more than one playable deck, coz I hate all kinds of mirrors xd
Ability to ban illuvials would stirr things up ^ ^
I played in another account for rank today since I'm stuck for more than 48 hours now
Yes, but it's you, and all others stucked?
Please create a bug report for this
in game?
If you can't in game just use the #❓❓〕support link
I know at least 2 russian players with the same problem and so on
You mean to report that I'm using another account this week right? The bug i reported when it happened
No I just mean your stuck account
After beta is over, we wont be able to play arena with all illuviums? We must catch them in overeorld first or what?
yes ra, that what i was told
Game will die asap in that case xd
Meta will be changing, ppl will be made to buy all of them
Or waste tons of time upgrading to higher tier units
there their 0 overworld and they may be giving free sets like in LOL
If stuff is reasonably cheap it will make game more engaging
Autobattler mode could have done so much better alone xd its kinda most played kind of game rn
Mybe some first person shooters ,moba and autobattler
Open world rpgs like those in overworld
i'd say worns-like game make ssense for having iluvials
Idk if ppl hook up on that type of games
@zenith mortar a ticket for? the issue is well known as far as i see
Yes but we want to track the accounts that are stuck
through an argument which gives nature affinity
Nah, I was playing your favourites... PSION ARMY
vs Frosty Boi
I expected more from you
A feedback about smurfs, the way it's right now that the rewards are going to our main acc instead of the higher rank one doesn't seems good, feels like everyone just stopped playing and are camping the rank (myself included) and then we get like 2+ minutes qeue time and less games played

I agree for high elo being allowed 2 accounts and highest counts would help the game a lot and reduce que time etc. for top 50-100 a lot
obv some potential downside for lower ranks/perspective and gives advantage to people who can/want to spend more time and could also make people get some I have no chance feeling more"
Good theory, if that's the case I would support the patches way more like they have been depolyed.
guys for some reason when i play the game arena I get blinded instantly by somthing and i miss all my attaccks but nothing on board suggests it does that? starting to feel like the other player is cheating? any ideas
The frost affinity does that
ohhhhh thank you! but even when i go jotun vs jotun 1v1 my one gets destroyed feel like my troops dosnt do it at all...
any ideas what counters frost then?
Are you bonding your ranger to jotun to get the affinity bonus?
You have to click the + sign in the ranger and then click on the bear
When the game fully releases there will be a different set of free illuviuls that can be used in arena every couple of months.
could you add visual indicators along the grid (like letters & numbers on a chess board) for easier illuvial placement
Guys if you get top 10 in survival mode ranked is there any rewards ?
every week
But that's for PvP mode right? Not survival
Only pvp
Wow you get one and that's a very decent living those guys are living life
sup mates, how are you? is there any place to get some inittial decks? im new there but i would like to learn with some starter one
Im rich babe
Lulz
There are already some super basic decks included for every player to use. Try them on casual mode.
Check out some of the videos in #🎨〕community-content
web3gamers stuff seems to have a bunch of decks in them.
To be honest, right now frost is so strong that almost nothing wins against it. Wait tomorrow for the patch, they will nerf frost!
And remember, always bond ur ranger!
So it's for sure tomorrow? Heard that like 3 days in a row now lol
tysm, is there any website where i can see all illuvials, synergies, etc? like a ilv database
Nothings for sure until its done brother
illuvihub, illuvidata also it is already in liquipedia
damn is that i was looking for
ty
Is so frustrating ending the day with fewer points than you started 😢
@stray gull Hey Nick, can you do me a favor and check how many arena games Ive played this week, please? Spoke to pelican already but he can only see my 14 games from illuvialmaster. "Problem" is that my 15th game froze at the end so I dont know if it counted or not. Also I dont wanna play an additional game because I might lose and not be top 100
Illuvialmaster can miss games, However it rarely misses 'frozen games' that end up completing, so if it froze and u didnt get it on Illuvialmaster, my guess is it didn't count
Just play anorther one, you a beast
oof
Illuvialmaster misses A LOT of games, i counted today and played 16 and it only shows 11 there
I can't find my username on illuvialmaster
Weird. I’ve not heard of anyone having that problem
Do i need to link my account?
You should just need to type it in
when is the snapshot ?
19 mins
@worn tree gg ser..seems jotun loves you more than some other guys love jotun eh? good good
he needs a jotun illuvitar as pfp now
top 3 all plays jotun ?
bro what the hell is scorioxes targeting? why does he randomly just switch to a target halfway across the map??
@fathom marsh legit question or a joke?
i am serious i'm noobish at this game but i played 15 games i played vs 15 times the same comp ..
so you already know the answer ay?
i was hoping at higher level people found ways to counter ..
nah..they just do infinite mirror for 15 games then switch to smurf for another infinite series of mirror to refine the tactic
@worn tree I'm accepting offers if you want 😉
yea its all jotun but some slight variations
snapshot was taken already right?
Yes
who do i talk to to see which account they used for me
maybe just email support to let them know which is your main
Yeah I've been beating Psion and Shock thing with normal Frost Behemoth too.
Easier to beat than mirrors.
Contact #❓❓〕support on the website
Hahaha I get that. Besides being boring asf for those who want to play a fun game
Might be strategic but God is it unfun
Any update on arena rewards? I thought they were getting distributed the same time as Beyond rewards
Did the beyond rewards get distributed?
yes
Huh. I always thought the distribution takes place some time after the snapshot is taken. The distribution documentation for the last week of #🎮〕illuvium-beyond rewards has not yet been shared I don’t think. But if it happened it happened regardless of what discord messages may have been posted.
according to etherscan i received them
im talking about rewards from last week's snapshot
Who on the team was responsible for testing this last patch and giving it the green light lol? Don't you guys even have an advanced AI program that runs battles and looks at balance? Play one game and you can see how OP polar bear and behemoth is.
people make mistakes, even such an established team like TFT devs release beyond broken sh*t once in a while and they have 5 years of experience of balancing and who knows how many years of game dev, Im not saying that Illuvium team should be praised for the mistakes, but straight up mocking is not it for sure
Do we know it was a mistake? maybe they just wanted an ass load of testing on specific critters or comps so they might have set it this way on purpose? This is just for testing after all, its beta.
Not yet, it’s on the way but rn it’s still human balanced
Nothing like giving good steaks to my Jotun so that he delivers
Extremely nice 😍
u talking about arena rewards from week 1? didn't they say that a script was running to filter the users?
@slate maple Good Game ser
We're about to patch the game in the upcoming hours. It's a patch that contains not just data changes but also some other logic changes. Unfortunately it's going to add a couple of minor bugs that we are in the process of fixing. So there will be another patch that goes out pretty soon after. But we feel it's best to get this out there and take the risk associated with these bugs.
Not ideal news but soon it will be fixed up. Blame me for this. I pushed them hard to make an emergency patch and we had a few too many things going on and it's ended up taking longer. If I'd have let them do it in their own time we would have had a fix sooner.
I'll put on my flame retardant suit so you guys can abuse me.
Can we get the patch note ? 👀
You'll get them pretty soon. Just giving you guys a heads up.
have last week ILV rewards been distributed already?
Not quite yet
Almost
was hoping for an even smaller radius for the frost and blind... hopefully it is enough. no way to know without testing I guess!
Is the hotfix patch already fully deployed ?
Not quite
In process
Thanks to all the team for bringing hotfix so soon!
We thank you for your understanding and patience
I was quite unpatient and emotional these last dayz. If I might have hurt someone - I would like to apologize for that!

lol XD
so is jotun weaker now? finallyu?
no stronger, others are baited into not playing jotun
wheres the patch notes?

in announcements
Or you are baiting playing Jotun now 😄
who knows
so there is no "wave" bug fixes right what I have seen in the patchnotes?
I guess bulwark will still be OP
It's a minor patch just to fix bear, chill, enjoy, and create a new meta instead of this frost dictatorship
I am just happy that I can leave my ghost match after 3 days
How does shock work. It says "each shock unit" will cast lightning but I only see one lightning strike every trigger.
The 3 squids are shock
All lightinings are casted at the same time, thats why you only see a lightining, but the damage and energy res reduction stacks
Tooltips arent updated on teambuilder for frost
@hot pond yeah...we can finally get out of jail. 🎉
hotfix actually live?
I see. Thanks
Refresh
Which elo?
im 407 atm
sometimes bugged and need to reque
also people waiting for this patch
#📣〕announcements message Game is down while updating
"Downtime Alert:
Please note, during this update, we expect about 2 hours of downtime. We'll keep you updated and announce once the game is back online."
1 more hour
Thx for the patch 🙂
is working fine for me
Is the patch in depolyment already?
If so, somehow I still can qeue up for ranked.
May someone send link for best build in current meta? Need link in deck builder
we just had an update less than an hour ago, i guess no one have the best build yet
hey 
You are the proud owner of the account that has a ghost session, could you check if you can que in Arena on this account 👀 🙏
qeuing already 
thank you 
thx for releasing me
dont beat up your opponent so hard next time so we dont have to put you in the cage again 😂
I'll try my best
@dark scaffold I wasn't able to click "cancel" here, i tried "back" since it was more than 2 minutes in the qeue and it is stuck in this screen
oh, got it
I forced closed the game and it's back to normal, but the cancel button on qeue still not working
contacting the team 🫡
Do I get an auto loss if I close the game while searching for opponent and cancel button is disabled?
Queue time is 10 minutes by now
No, i've done it twice and didn't lost points
Ah great, just did it too. No points lost
I read the patch notes, but i saw that frost and behemoth were not smurfed😅😅
I still have limit 28 in team builder :/
It's the same patch notes as before but at the end there is "Hotfix", bear and frost were nerfed
30 team slots, not slots per team
Saw now, thanks😬
ooooooh 😄 okay
ooooh
Ooh...
That is good too 🤣
Not what I was expecting but noice!
@sacred finch the cancel button..is it clickable or not?
and if you click back..top left corner..infinite loop and need to close the game?
yep
uhm
seems like it is the same for everyone, i reported in game too
I ll try with the smurf let s see if it s account related
the issue should be only with accounts that had ghost sessions before the patch
yes confirmed..smurf is playable
There's any chance in the future to just block or something smurf's account to begin smash new players on ranked? I got at least 5 games vs xxxx_1x user like that, it's to hard even in low elo
This won't be a problem when we have a bigger playerbase
So we are still kinda ghosted?
not by me, i would never ghost best players in the Arena 🫣
but in the game... kinda 
I will update you all thru the emails 
What does this mean?
few ppl had issue where they can not play on their accounts. If you can play, you good
I can’t play.
have you created a ticket?
No, I was waiting for the hot fix and then for understand if there was a way to fix the problem in the discord chat. So do I open a ticket?
I understand so all have infinity search?
yes please, from the in game reporter (click B) This will give me all the data i need, name it "Account stuck in ghost session"
Do we know when we will receive the reward from the first week snapshot ?
I have not heard anything specific regarding when
So probably not
me too
cancel for looking opponent is not possible. Waiting Time for Game now over 7 Minutes
In ranked?
yes
Which elo your in?
elo ?
How many points do you have?
Think arround 400
Yeah prob. that's why so long qeue time.
I try many different Teams - but in past no chance against Jotun ...
After every week in Beta a full counter reset is necessary
Hotfix has been depolyed.
New teams will be found vs him.
Guys, yesterday I lost 300 MMR from 1 loss
and went from 1400 MMR to like 1000-1100
is that normal ?
It's your placements, early rounds are extrem.
or was it just because i hadnt played for 2 months
but i wasnt in placements, or how often does rank reset ?
Screwed up my elo as well since I didn't know how to play mirror frost.
First games are placements.
Yeah since then we had a soft reset.
then my next game I log in 2 months ltaer I'm 1400 and I get -300 from 1 loss
So how often do they reset MMR ?
Somehow I'm stuck now as well in qeue and I cannot click "cancel" - anyone has a fix for that?
I was in queue for almost 2 mins and vsed 1000 MMR plaeyr and lost 300
so does that mean i should just cancel queue every time its more than like 20 seconds ?
so I don't risk losing my entire MMR 😄
that doesn't seem right
how can I upload pics here ?
Going back to main menu - solved.
can i get rights to post pics here
if u don't want to face people too far from your own mmr you should restart que yea
where you still in your first 5 or so games on that account?
probs still in your placement games
@bronze spire have you found some new deck already?
negative 😦 but im sure invokers or something is good
havent played yet
nope i just hadnt played for 2 months
yeah, same

Frost still ruining everything?
@umbral oracle did i played with you rn?)
Not anymore
Tragic. Just started playing. I'll let u know
Negative, that was me haha
Kieran is called PorkLamington I believe
BANG
Haven't played 1 frost team in 3 games 🍆🍆🍆
Is playing now again possible ?
nah 15min queue no match
any meta with more then 1 deck is better then frost lol
Yep and I have about 7 different teams to test tonight
Team building is still much to complicated for newcomers. Somehow it has to be made easier for newer players who do not have weeks to studie the game more in depth!
it calls content creator guide
loving the variety of matches until everyone finds whats good 🙂
didnt try frost, is it that bad now?
Not bad
hey, have you created a support ticket?
Has anyone found a good team yet with is universal useable in a fun way?
Not yet. Many have this issue
please make one real quick from in-game reporter, i need your data 😈
Made it some minutes ago
People are stimulating and looking for an opponent quickly, I don’t understand why they aren’t looking for me.
Anyone playing and seeing a difference in the meta ?
I can't find a match
Being trying for 30mins
Can't cancel the search so have to close the whole app every 5mins to try again
Fairly large switch up at lower ranks . I'm still trying to get wildfire to work. It's definitely one of the worst composites but I'm hoping a new illuvial will make it a bit better if not a buff or even rework
I was seeing a lot of invokers teams and psions even a frost, so a nice mix at 1400-1500 elo
This looks legit. Is it? https://x.com/SynergyGuild/status/1755288209838190598?s=20
@cyan olive wen stream 
maybe later, was spending the day with my mum
/ still am
still cant play ranked guys?
nah
I will be doing a lot of team testing tonight and tomorrow if anyone wants to check out my stream I have 8 teams currently. But you will have to wait until 8pm MST when I stream I love now having more space for teams now
what rank r u?
1630 but I will be testing on my Smurf which is around 1250
My Smurf account was around 1500 but with all the different teams I was testing against frost it got hit pretty hard
Are the rewards from first snapshot already payed out?
Probably not. I’ve not seen that they were
Any1 else getting long ques?
it s a bug..team hopefully is looking into it
I switched to my smurf and i find battles in 30 sec max
12mins is que so far
cancel button is greyed, correct? @proven coral
and if you click back on top left..you will be into an infinite spinning illuvium wheel, correct?
if your "Cancel" button is greyed out make a bug report from inside the game (click B) 🙏 with title "Stuck in a ghost session"
Is arena not working rn?
Hey guys, we are collecting information on all users affected by session not being closed for them from before the patch.
If you are trying to find a match and you see "Cancel" button greyed out, please make a bug report from inside the game by clicking "B" and title it "Stuck in a ghost session"
I will report the bug as well once I get to my computer
i have yours already
same with you @twilit storm, please give our team little bit of time to fix this one (they are working on it)
Thanks for the effort! 
I’m a Wildfire geek too 🤓 down to test in custom sometime if u want
im down but ive played just about every variation you could imagine....its very very bad
I have said it before and I will say it again. Nerf bulwark a bit more, make enchanter damage be magical damage and fix quantum nullifier.I foresee these as the priorities for next patch.
If they fix quantum nullifier there is no need to nerf bulwark, meanwhile everyone playing 5 bulwark + 2 mystic going to overtime every round is the worst meta this game ever had
Why not temporary nerf bulwark if quantum is not working right tho? 😭 ;D
I'm working on my main that got destroyed down to ELO hell at 300 ELO.. seeing a lot of weird crap around 750 presumably new players.
I've beaten a few Jotun teams without Jotun but I think that's just them making weird misplays.
So I know that frost is potentially not insanely broken now. But I am having trouble killing Jotun, seems super bulky?
All they did to Jotun specifically was a slight healing reduction.
With 5 bulwark he is still a machine
Total plus one here. I'd like to see all true damage changed to physical/magical - is this going to far or a good idea?
I just finished my first 15 games this week on my main - post hot patch.
First off, the patch is looking like it worked as intended and has improved gameplay significantly. I still saw frost/behemoth which makes me happy, but I also saw shock/magma/enchanter, invokers, tsunami gauntlet spam, a nature based deck, and my own magma enchanter deck. This was actually the deck I encountered most often.
One thing that will most likely improve over time, but worth pointing out (if any of the team is reading this) - I faced Viper 8 out of the 15 games. I probably don't need to talk much about that other than point it out. I'm sure it will get better as the player base improves.
I did not experience any bugs, but did have very long queue times occasionally - and usually just to end up with Viper again. Now, obviously other people are playing - so maybe some tweaking to the matchmaking algorithm could be done.
I really enjoy playing the game - especially immediately after a patch when everyone is trying to figure stuff out. When the meta is stale and it's mostly about positioning/augments - I don't have quite as much "fun", but still enjoy learning about positioning. It's just more frustrating because things like crit rng and augment rolling become too unpredictable for me.
Here's my decklist for anyone who wants to try it out:
https://play.illuvium.io/team-builder/edb9a702-d579-4464-9cae-441df3859fc0
Immerse yourself into a diverse alien ecosystem. Explore fantastic biomes riddled with extraordinary flora and fauna. Scale misty mountain peaks, cross toxic deserts, and fight your way out of crystal labyrinths. Lift the veil of time and discover the secrets of a fallen world that you now call home.
Hmmm maybe its too much but hey, that would be better than what we have now
Opponents were:
Shock Magma Enchanter
Magma Behemoth
My deck (Magma Enchanter Mystic 5bw air/earth) x 8
Invokers
Frost/Behemoth x 2
Nature/earth wildfire magma
Tsunami/Enchanter
So, you can see - a pretty good mix and I expect the meta to develop a lot over the next few days/weeks as people are probably able to rock/paper/scissors the meta in a way we just couldn't when frost/behemoth was overtuned.
I don't think so. I went to sleep 10 mins before your message
Yea, looks like it was your fan @light garnet 😄
I'm stuck in Looking for opponent. I can't click Cancel and if I click Back it's bugged. Is that a known bug and is there a way to fix that? (edit: I see it is...)
I restarted my game twice and kept having the same issue, havnt been able to play a match yet.
Week 1 Arena Leaderboards Distributed (Snapshot on <t:1706659200:F>) :
@worldly jolt you want to do a running pinned message for these as well?
if I'm at 100, and there is 80 ineligible people in top 100, am I 20th or 100th?
Let’s do it.
I got it
ithought top 25 get 1 ILV ? i got 0.6 🙂
it says you're 26th
Youre rank is your rank
evn if people out from top 25 with 2 acounts
so if people in front of you werent eligible you dont move up
I can't believe you just did these many Tx's on L1 lol
so basically smurf accounts are stealing money from people and are saving money for Illuvium?
ok np 🙂 good to know. thx
The announcement says they will be used for future arena incentives
Rich how much are we spending on fees for this ?
there is going to be a lot more talk about smurfs now...
This was a hefty one, which is why I said previous the plan is to move to L2
I'm speechless
but they dont win anything for being a smurf
do you guys need me to code it for you??
I'm just saying that there already is a lot of talk how there should be smurfs, and now smurfs are stealing money from people so everybody will hate them even more... i'm just saying
we should have moved to L2 long ago since we're already distributing for Beyond
and now top 1000....
Thats the plan just wasnt highest priority as for beyond it was only 100 ppl
yes but now with 1000 I think it's time...
if we stay at L1 can we at least like group the rewards and send them out monthly or something? would save a lot of money
this is something that should be done in less than a week I don't understand why we're delaying this
@zenith mortarJust curious, all rewards have been distributed? My account is linked and no rewards have shown up in my imx wallet.
This round was distributed on L1
I was going to suggest a claim page... but thats again more work, and tracking everyones rewards for what youre suggesting over weeks would become burdensome as well. Some people will want to be paid now, some later, some in 2 weeks etc sounds like a mess
the solution is simple... We move to L2 ASAP
@dull wind it's being worked on mate.
It is not trivial, we want to automate the distribution of rewards on L2 + running a whole host of scripts to validate users meet criteria.
We're not just setting up a bulk distribution on L2.
the distribution is a simple one, the validation scripts is what needs work
but if you already did it this time for L1 what's holding us back?
how i fix the bug of cant find any oponent??
We can send the ILV and the addresses to filow. He will distribute. Boom. Automated through delegation.
Press B in game. #🎮〕illuvium-arena message
ready
We're reusing what we're able to.
Dev for Automated Distribution of L2 Rewards commences from next week
That’s pretty disappointing. I thought the point was to remove the smurf accounts not reduce rewards
so just the rank 579 was rewarded?
As stated in the announcement a lot of people didnt complete all the eligibility requirements
I thought that was the point too, a lot of people just played one or two games and stopped at 1372, my account was in 1360 and I stopped playing because if they remove those accounts I would have been top 500
People playing spoiler
They had to play 25 games (15 per week) but your point still stands, and I agree. It wasn’t clear at all through the week
"Smurf Account Policy: If you have multiple accounts, only the highest-ranking one will be eligible for payment."
So now if i get a better rank with my smurf now it is counting my smurf's rank, right?
Correct
wow
Nice, now i'm motivated to play more than 15 games weekly again
"Rewards for players in the top 1000 who miss out due to not meeting gameplay or wallet requirements will go into the Arena Rewards Pool". This only mentions gameplay and wallets, nothing about smurfs. So smurfs counted as a rank on not moved people up?
So people are gonna make more and more smurfs so they can climb easier.
So more and more people will lose there rewards 😄
New Smurf account will gain elo easier
just need 2 actually, and always play on the worst ranking one
its much harder to climb with a smurf now
there is no reason to play if u want to climb if u are below 1300 because u can create a fresh account and start from that point
I swear to God you guys are getting more and more incompetent
but you start at 750 points and need to play 25 games in the new account
Why would you count the ranking of any Smurf account in the first place?!
We removed smurfs as part of the requirements yes, it shouldve been mentioned there too
it may be because of mistakes, imagine they leave somone out thats not a smurf and they didnt hold back any rewards
i agree smurfs should be not counted but just thinking of reasons it makes sense
also stucked accounts, I had to play on a smurf for example bc i got stuck for over 3 days now
1 account that is connected to wallet. Others don't matter. This is the way.
yea i just image if they misidentify you as a smurf and gave those rewards to somone else, no way you can claim them, i guess if they hold them, they are available for claiming and if not than later reward pool. Makes sense but feels bad. Also would have been nice to know before hand, some people thought they were top 10/25 but apparently not
One of the reasons why they shouldn't have released rewards for unfinished game in the first place.
We have more weeks to come and likely more eligible players every week as people realise they need to meet the requirements
Is there a way to know which requirements an account didn’t meet?
The rewards are a great incentive for people to play more and with that find bugs and give feedbacks for the development of the game
Couldnt agree more
We tried to do it as fairly and fun as possible and to reward those helping to test the game
We have many more weeks to come and rewards to win
ZicZacZoc should have been 17th and instead he is 26th.... So he got 40% less rewards because there is only 16 players "better" than him, but half of them have 2 accounts...
Just one example... I would be pretty salty if that happened to me... But then again, I'm salty all the time
But after all it's much better to know exactly what is your position than having to guess if someone in front of you is a smurf account, have played 15 games this week or have a wallet connected
Smurfs prevent others from climbing
Not currently, all people need to do is play the 15 games in the week (25 for the account), rank in the top 1000, and make sure their wallet is connected. 3 requirements. and Not be a smurf... 4
Smurfs are paid actors 😂
Its me
blocking everyone
You know how good I am
to be fair to smurfs, they thought they would be deleted and pump people up haha
from getting into top 5000?
So Do I understand correctly ?. My main is not defined by the one that received the first airdrop buut the higher elo one ?.
I'm just gonna make more smurfs and keep blocking other players entering top 100
Sue me
guaranteed top 100
maybe beat Viper
if you meet those requirements but are not on the leaderboard should you submit a support ticket or?
I want to send a message
Yeah but surely there is ppl that can beat him out for those spots
whether they are smurfs or not
Holy shit I just realized
No, Kieran has said multiple times this is not how it works
Illuvium likes smurfs
Have they changed it?
one of the requirements is being at top 1000
Because they have to pay less rewards
Must have because yeah he said that here #🎮〕illuvium-arena message but this is how it is
sorry i meant you meet all requirements but not on leaderboard..
how i fix it the bug
Yeah that would be best
its been unclear the whole time
Just smash
I dont love the change but I wont die on this hill lol
I'm just draining elo trying new things anyways haha idrc
cheers. final question for now.. if someone meets all the requirements but is banned from this discord (not saying who just in general) would that make them ineligble for rewards also?
Once again, more weeks to come, more rewards, simply for playing a game and helping us test, find bugs, iterate and improve.
You don’t. The team does. Sorry for the confusion. You just need to wait at this point. Possibly will get a response in your ticket eventually.
Being in Discord I dont believe was a requirement
we did play during 1.5 year and never received anything for that. so that argument..
Ironically I am so busy making Illuvium videos I dont have the time to play Illuvium in more than a casual sense
And now we are
But creator rewards so
gonna go grind back !
Imagine, you can play ranked to get rewards and do content at the same time and get rewards... we are terrible
Also don’t trust any invites on discord. There’s a lot of scammers trying to get people to join their “support” server.
Lol i am just doing some weird exposition. I am saying nothing about Illuvium 🤣
Its my choice to make content lol
Let me get this straight and someone please correct me - ineligible players don't get the rewards but they take spots from players that are eligible?
So quantum nullifier isnt working?
I dont love the smurfs changes for other reasons, but it helps players play more than 15 games so its probably a net win
Ineligible for rewards yes, but they are still ranked
That’s how I read it. It’s like they are playing as a spoiler.
So smurfs just "c***block" others from getting better rewards
And you are fine with that?
yea sure, but we're not attracting more players just more accounts. so it boost numbers but not organically. at end of the day its a beta and ill still be playing, just saying
Not sure how they are blocking, people just need to rank higher than them
for the DAO at least, more games played overall is good for testing
Smurfs are paid actors confirmed, financed by Illuvium themselves
But it does increase a lot the number of games played
the highest account getting rewards acheives this already
Please don't spread false information ser haha... and it doesnt even make sense as the announcement says the unpaid rewards go to future incentives
I was about to ask for L2 distribution and not L1, thanks @stray gull, the future is bright
i just said that lol
So its not like we are keeping the rewards to save money
You are splitting it with smurfs 🤣
ppl need to win against viper's smurfs to receive $ that's cool to me
@cyan olive is noob
Sage getting 1 ilv instead of 2 😂 wtf is this. He is the 10th best player but there is 1 smurf ahead of him, so he get half the reward
Good system, da comrade
Did anyone else have to submit bug report for the stuck in ghost session, has it been fixed for anyone yet?
1ilv less to pay, ILV team knows what they are doing
peronally I think ill just tank my smurf so its not taking a place on leaderboard
Just remember when we have some tournament or whatever it is with all those unpaid rewards. And dont participate because they arent real 😂
Pay those rewards to smurfs.😉
we need more like you, maybe make a rule smurf account cant play meta builds 😂
Might as well give the reward to the smurfs if they are taking other people there rewards
yea I like this
What will happen if Viper or web3gaming create 150+ smurfs?
Why are people worried about smurfs and not the 500 inactive accounts sitting in the top 1000?
is the game playable now?
if they're on leaderboard they've played 25 games total, and 15 for that week so not inactive
I agree, both are taking rewards away from the players
Yes, press play and enjoy..
3 of the inactive ones are mine.
I don't think that's right, never saw the leaderboard reset
Think I have two of them
so those will show on leaderboard, but not be counted for weekly rewards cos they dont meet the 15 game requirement
that's why I didnt get top 1000 😦
I made one Smurf where I troll people at 1200 elo. Can't find Rich in there cuz he lower than that.
What about my smurfs
You mean 3 digit ELO smurfs?
when 1500 usdt 1 coin?
Anyone in top 1000 who doesn't meet reward requirements now just forfeits the reward to a future rewards pool, they don't look below the top 1000 ranks
At least you are not angry.
im angry because my game us buged
if thats true then its even worse than i thought 😭
maybe need to uninstall
really??
yep, ranks #575-1135 are all sitting at 1372 ELO, pretty sure 95% of these are inactive from before rewards even started
so basically if you're not in the top 500, you're not getting rewards
that is heavy days for me 😂 nah i missed first week but will make top 500 for week 2. but i was expected top 100 with all the smurfs 😭
sad
think i was 115
+1
People have tried it. And that has not fixed the bug.
Heres the leaderboard. #🎮〕illuvium-arena message
hopefully a lot of us clear our smurfs from top 1000
First week I was at 110th position. And I was like it's fine there are 20 smurfs in front of me that are not eligible, their positions won't count..
done
smurfs really aren't the problem unless people are going for the top rewards. It's inactive accounts that make it so people who aren't the top competitors don't have a chance for the bottom 500
yea i think a lot of those inactive accounts are smurfs or old accounts people dont play anymore
or register it as a smurf and want it to not count on leaderboard
They should just reset elo on anyone who hasn't played in a month periodically
make it 3 months.....something
My smurf is Viper2. But I think I will leave it there
bahaha
Cause its higher than my main
Paid actor.
God I wish
can you tank it but let me know when you que so i get the elo
There are players who gave 5 smurfs in top 100
That means they are taking 5 positions from eligible players.
Gonna shoot u a msg

Smurfs making others get less rewards and illuvium spending fees on 1000x transactions
Seems good
How many accounts can you smurf to still play the 25 games req though?
hi, the bug has already fixed?
I haven't checked mine yet, is it working for you?
no
@zenith mortar I was top 90 on the 31st and they paid me as top 112 what do you mean?
They paid me counting on today's rank and it ended on the 31st
If you create a support ticket we can look into it further. #❓❓〕support
ok
They only take one of the account tho and situate the remaining ranks accordingly
this doesnt make sense, ban smurf accounts then
well i created a support ticket for my bug
@zenith mortar Um why am I getting rewards based on my smurf rank and not my main rank?
Check the #📣〕announcements
Can I create a support ticket if there's an issue with my case?
If you want help from support that’s the way to make that happen.
Alrite. Thanks.
where to check how many matches i made for the week?
Are the rewards automatically distributed in the wallet? I don't get any. HAHAHAHAHAHA
owww, metamask. Sorry hahahaha i thought IMX 😦
Holly molly 30 team slots I gotta get my brain in gear and start playing again
been to bussy honing my overworld skills
can someone share me a link about mechanics of this game
You could use illuvialmaster to check your match history
Illuvialmaster, illuvidata, illuvihub, and liquipedia are all third party sites with some good info
How fix sever error 500 ??
Wait for team to fix it. They’ll respond to the ticket you opened on the website or will announce something.
Can’t send a link but I highly recommend watching Web3gamingTV and Viper_ilv in youtube
ty guys
Still can't play... constantly waiting for match and never matching
Submitted bug report
what is the yellow border around illuvial when you mouse over? hyper/affinity range or?
Yup
Hyper range
ok
Oh shit that's awesome
Same 😦
When can I play again? I am still in the bug !!!!
your just waiting for me to play again so you ca beat me 😉
I imagine how viper and others with 5 smurfs hold top 10 and every week get rewards coz they have more attempt to win 15 in a row and hold new top 1
I try to create a custom game. But same issue
Hahahah not likely, my elo is like 950
Did you load a bug report like the pinned message said?
I'll imagine they'll drop an announcement when it's fixed cause a lot of people have the same issue, including myself
Of course
Yep, the guys are aware and working on a solve for players currently stuck
Issues are okay in Beta. The illuvium Team learn for the future to protect the open beta
For those that missed the post: #🎮〕illuvium-arena message
@stray gull @zenith mortar I think that it would be fair for everyone if you reset the ranking list after 1 week Tournament.
The plan is to reset every 4-weeks
For the actual 12 weeks Tournament ?
and then Play again, Sir
please make a bug report from inside the game by clicking "B" and title it "Stuck in a ghost session" TO FIX error 500, Right?
you have the button greyed out like this?
make a bug report from that screen
Yes, Sir. I need to Fix, Thanks
does the rangers blink when he has rogue weapon supposed to cancel fliish omega? not sure if im supposed to report it or not
And When Fix soon, Sir
unfortunately i do not have ETA for you, but the team is working on it as we speak
while you do that, use my creator code! 😄
Why change the smurf rule
Force ppl play more I guess, and not hold the spot after 15 games
Actually I was not happy about this rule, but if the best strat is to have 2 acc and always play lower elo one, then all cool, and 3rd ACC for what? Only if I hold place 1 and 2?
But also there can be abuse with multiple accs, anyway we will see how it goes
dumb rule, fake mau reports im not a fan
Is this from the snapshot from yesterday?
No the previous week. Week 1
anyone else still struggling to play? haven't been able to play in a week or so. Went from the surrender loop to just not finding opponents and unable to cancel queue
same
team is working on a fix right now!
you need 25 games on new account
the smurf issue should be easy to fix they already idenitfy them just remove them from the rank and promote everybdoy acordingly aslong as they have met the other citeria
ir played the game
yeah but previously it was stated, that team will identify main account and then user wont be able to change it. that meant if his main account was rank 100 and smurf rank 2, he would get reward for rank 100. however now, he will receive reward for rank 2, which is opposite
@zenith mortar do we still have to rename our accounts to have our highest rated acount be paz1?
or aslong as its clearly identifyable that all my accounts belong to me
for example: rank1: illuvination_youtube, rank2: illuvination1, rank3: illuvination_decks
will this be alright and automatically take the highest account with illuvination in it?
I still do think bulwarks is too strong if an invoker deck which is made to get stronger over time can not beat 5 bulwarks in overtime with all invokers living to 40 seconds. Ridiculous that an ophisto cannot kill one little 25 MP grokko with his ultimate after getting several stacks of invoker casts
general thoughts on these smurf accounts? seems like a lot of probably manual extra work. Creating new accounts in crypto in general is too easy and I believe that's why some projects are requesting KYC
made a video about my general thoughts ^^ https://youtu.be/ZHfWLPWBqHg
about kyc, this can be easily faked aswell: just sign up with my frend, sister whatever. aslong as we don't do in person tournaments people can cheat the system and illuvium is watching this and will punish/ban people who try to abuse it. it's not worth trying to cheat the system imo

I just dont get why, if team is able to identify smurfs and ilegible accounts, they dont shift ranks for rewards without those accounts. so if userX is rank 10 but closes eligable userY is rank 8, why userX doesnt get reward for rank 9.
We were said that's exactly how it works
so let's say there are 5 smurfs in top20 and you're 24th, you get rewards for top 20
because you're then technically 19th
.
^
yep, we were said, but its not that 🙂
@zenith mortar about the payments on L1. I would not mind if you put the payments on pause until you switch to imx. I am ready to wait, because it will save money for both you and me. I think many people will agree with me
when are the weekly rewards distributed?
omg... thanks @serene lance for showing me this, you guys are right this is not fair.
https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1205401434842206268 someone is already trying to make things move in the right direction, please give your input there so we can get a better leaderboard rewards system soon.
Beside the smurfs, how about inactive accounts? You get points by default and block the leaderboard by not playing at all
Yes that is just as unfair. For example, i know i probably didn't play enough to get the rewards since the snapshot, but because i was very high rank before i probably still have my account high enough for it to be in the top1k list. It's not normal that i take a slot for someone else's rewards
Thank you for your open mind
yeah just checked and i'm taking a top100 slot
This form of distribution needs to change. Smurf accounts should be filtered for, removed, a new leaderboard of eligible accounts should be made public. If you have spot 120 on the original leaderboard and there are 21 Smurf accounts taking up spots in top 100, the player should get spot 99 and get rewards for spot 51-100, Otherwise, you Are not distributing those 166 ilv in weekly allocation
In theory, some of the good players: let’s say Viper could create and play 9 Smurf accounts, take all of the top 10 positions, and then only 1 player receives 9 ilv for top 10, his other Smurf accounts don’t get nothing, so only 9 out of the supposed 33 ilv are distributed for top 10 positions?
Grossly underestimated voidcleaver rip
next time you wont underestimate 🙂
Yeah lmao
got destroyed by that thing
in what world do you not put 3 on voidcleaver?
I didnt know it was good
i am noob
Anyone with the bugged game been able to find a match? Or is our login completely rooted until a fix from the team?
next time you'll know that there are only very few augments that can justify not bidding 3 on voidcleaver
I bid 3 on all the s tiers
but thought voidcleaver was like C
didnt realise it was pure damage tbh
i cant read
RIP
built me a lil spreadsheet to help me craft teams
but i have 2 videos to make tonight rip
There are many occasions where i prioritize Voidcleaver over Meteor, that should tell you how good it is
Don't gotta tell me twice, lesson learned
Outside of verdant, do the other healers compare to adorius?
@worn thicket
lmao wtf
needs a coffin
You can deduce that by yourself. Adorius is the T5 Healer, so it is obviously extremely good at what it does. It's also the only one that gives a heal in "one time" rather than overtime which makes him unique in that sense.
With all this said, Geyyser is just as good but will work in different scenarios because he heals the entire team for an amount overtime, while Adorius will prioritize saving your low HP units making it extremely good to save your tanks and give them a second life.
Yeah just feels like I cant add consistent heals to my frontline without adorius
The meta with behemoth and invoker is super bursty
so heals over time dont seem to do as well
I lost and I have absolutely no clue why
Scoriox DPS is just so incredibly low, Outside of Invokers I cant get any hypercarry outside of Jotun to actually do damage
So that means the meta now is Invokers, Psions and Frost, which imo is good enough. like realistically it's very rare for a game to have more than 3 S Tier comps
The meta is, find anything that can crack open a Bulwark
Especially against Earth, Scoriox will always be at a massive disadvantage
the nerfs to the pure damage augment were gross overkill imo
theres a bug atm
should i reinstall game?
works for some
Is your "cancel" button greyed out? If yes: #🎮〕illuvium-arena message 
yes
can you point me to one 👀 we need affected users to make a report
I think there is a clear disadjustment with tier 0 units. The greater and exalted versions are not worth it in 90% of the cases. I think the team should buff greater and exalted versions so that it is worth paying twice as much as the lesser version. Because afaik only hp and omega scale, but for half the cost you get a class and affinity count and not much less stats.
This is why most players only play lesser versions.
what u rank bro?
I am slowly but surely becoming impatient. Want to play and have to stream
I believe all tier 3 illuvials should be significantly stronger. When game goes live, you need a reason to motivate you into fusing.
also for some reason attack speed scales down on most if not all illuvials for example rhamphy has 90, Rhamphite has 80, Rhamfyre has 70, not sure what is that about
In every creature game, the evolving feels important, a power up. In illuvium, evolving is just gaining other affinity and class
it's even worst than you thought, AD and atk speed change too but actually Lesser grokko has a higher DPS than the Exalted one (if we don't factor in the omega)
I guess since the illuvial is bigger, it has more inertia (more attack dmg, but less attack speed)
Yes yes
Clear design mistake
Where can I find Arena leadebord?
maybe he can suggest a good deck for a beginner?(
What about joining the discord of his guild, Hyperion, and ask for help. He and other top players are very active there into helping people 😉
Immerse yourself into a diverse alien ecosystem. Explore fantastic biomes riddled with extraordinary flora and fauna. Scale misty mountain peaks, cross toxic deserts, and fight your way out of crystal labyrinths. Lift the veil of time and discover the secrets of a fallen world that you now call home.
That's not how I would've phrased it. It's a game design choice that is applied to all illuvials where all the Stage 1s atk faster than their stage 2 and 3.
Intent was probably to make the stronger omegas come a bit later than the smaller ones.
Is it perfect, probably not. But in this one I wouldn't call it mistake.
here @dark scaffold
yes mr Scoriox? (Edit: I believe RoHoss knows that he have to make a ticket with showing his greyed out "cancel" button)
To me the mistake is that lesser versions are 90% of the time better than greater and exalted ones. The team used maths to calibrate this, but sometimes math isn't enough, the in game feel is crucial and this was a miss imho.
The team has done many things well, but I won't fade the mistakes. That's what we are here for, pre beta, testing and giving feedback. Just my opinion.
I hope they address this 😄
I don't quite understand why accounts who didn't play games over that week blocked others from getting leaderboard rewards? Will this be amended in the future? Seems crazy
If there are rewards for the top 1000, there should be 1000 people rewarded?
Anyway to fix queue bug?
Was about to post this same thing. Since they take the highest rated smurf - i guess i just keep making new accounts and play 15 matches to see which one gets the highest elo? Every new account that is made that sits above the 1372 elo where a bunch of uneligible ones sit = 1 person who is actually eligible missing out on rewards.
Also if i decide to make 1000 accounts and just let them sit at 1500 starting elo then everyone below will get nothing lol
i thought if people not eligible it will go the next in line 😅 peeps that got reckt during match placement really had no chance if not perma farming ranked
Check pinned messages in this chat
You’d need to play 25 matches per account to be eligible
Is there any way to see why i wasnt rewarded? i was rank 491, 50+ games and wallet is linked
But once 25 have been played, that account will forever sit on the leaderboard taking a reward away from a player who is actually playing?
Yup I agree, I hope in coming weeks they improve upon the system. At the very least a decaying rank for inactive accounts. Nick mentioned a rank reset every 2-4 weeks.
They said there’s no way to see (they are not sharing right now) and you should submit a support ticket if you’ve met the requirements but not on the leaderboard
People start at 750 now
right now just by creating a ticket and waiting, team is still working on it 🙏
Rewards on l1 or l2? Did first 2 week get distrivuted or just 1st?
just 1st, currently L1
Nick said dev for L2 starts next week.
that's the point you're missing though. is that the unit itself between the Stage 1 and the stage 3, the Stage 3 is strictly better because more HP and better omega.
What makes us choose the small one 90% of the time is the MP management. Because in fact it's stronger to get 3 bulwarks at 25 on your board than 2 at 50.
It was also always intended that higher stage =/= Objectively always better. The goal has always been for there to be some decision making on which one you pick.
Yes, kinda sucks that now we choose the small one 90% of the time but to me that's more about the synergies strength than the units themselves.
doesn't change his point though.
even without playing 25
If that account plaied like 10 games, and is like 1700s it will take a top 50 or top100 spot without being eligible
Big yikes. If new players are starting at 750 elo they should reset all inactive accounts since the reset down to that also
I mean my account was reset to like 1400s from 1800s
Well that is exactly my point and the reason of my post. Good to see you agree with me although for some reason you keep saying I miss something lol
plaied a few games, got 1600s stopped because no time last couple weeks, and somehow my account is taking a top100 slot rn
Yep, non-eligibles are still taking space, even though they dont get rewards.
